The curb appeal of your home is how a person passing by will perceive it from the road. So if you're trying to sell your home, you might want to consider outside home improvement projects that will make it look better. Staying at home, or selling your home, it's totally up to you; however, it is a great idea to improve your curb appeal to enhance the way your house looks if you're able to. To help you improve your home's curb appeal, we have written this article with some suggestions.
Painting is usually what comes to mind when you start wondering what you can do to modernize your curb appeal. You have to start somewhere, but take the time to make sure you will need to go to that extreme. You should inspect the existing paint for cracking, or blistering and if the color is satisfactory; you ought to simply power wash it. You will be amazed at the difference it will make and it will be a lot easier on you pocketbook. It is unbelievable how filthy your home can get without you even knowing it is happening. You can find people that will do the job for you for a reasonable amount, or you can really save and do the job yourself by renting the unit. Be careful not to miss any of the outer structures, like garage doors, fences, etc.
Examine the outside of your home and think about what colors would look best.
Even if you do like the existing color of the exterior of your home, it would actually be fun to conceptualize a completely different color and see how it looks in your mind. Now, once you have the new cover in mind, you might want to consider changing the color of other exterior things including your doors and shutters. You can also make use of color when it comes to any plants or flowers in your front or back yard, along with any decorations you may have. Walk around the outside of your house, from front to back and consider how you could make better use of colors and what changes might make it more appealing. Do you really need some additional info on the subject of renting dumpsters click this site here now Dumpster Rental Pros Akron.
If you want to give your home an appealing feature, consider adding a more attractive path or walkway from the street to your front door. Options include adding colorful flowers on either side that people will see as they walk toward your home. People that drive-by will definitely be impressed if you put in a new driveway over the old one. The driveway should not only be visually appealing, but give people the feeling that they are safe when they park there. Many times, all you need to do is get a rake out and remove the excess leaves that have built up on the sides. It really depends on the condition of the driveway. And when visitors come, just make them feel at home especially when they arrive in the driveway. There are tons of things you could do to your house to give it more pizzazz. Care and consideration of your outdoor space should be appreciated as much as you value your indoor home improvement projects. You should be well armed to at least make a start to capitalize on curb appeal; although if you take a stroll around your residence, you will surely find a lot of things you could do to improve.

Hike up to the huge bench that is at the base of the NorthEast Buttress. This bench provides the starting point for all routes between Patent Pending and McCarthy North Face. The climb starts in the crack just right of The Maiden, or it can be more readily identified as the crack of two to the right of Broken Tree.
Route Description
This route was first climbed by Dennis Horning and Dave Larson on August 13, 1983. It is an excellent route, as well as being one of the very few Face Climbs on Devils Tower. With the exception of perhaps 2 stopper placement, the entire route is bolt protected. Two years ago all of the original bolts were replaced with new, shiny, thick FIXE bolts and hangers. It is a well protected route !!
Pitch 1. ( 5.8, 145 ft.) Start up the crack on the face ( 2 cracks right of Broken Tree) past a small (2 ft) tree. Above the tree traverse left across the face, to the corner where the 1st protection bolt is. 3 more bolts (and small stoppers in the crack to the right, if you want) take you to a nice 2 Big-Bolt Belay. Although it looks imposing, the climbing is the easiest if you stay right on the corner.
Pitch 2. (5.10c, (5.11b direct), 150 ft.) Follow the line of bolts up and left. Around the 5th bolt you CAN traverse left around the corner (as the 1st ascent party did), climb up a bit and then traverse right, and back out onto the face, again. This is 5.10c climbing with RP's as protection (which you will ultimately want to back-clean). The difficult move is the rightward move back onto the face, which also features a sharp edge that your rope may NOT like. The Direct Variation is to simply continue following the line of bolts up the face(5.11b). The difficult section here requires a couple smeary layback moves off of the good left edge of the column. Bolts protect this section quite nicely. The last bolt before the "crux" moves is notable 1/2", with a heavy-metal hanger. Any falls that you might incurr would be quite clean. From this point onward, the climbing relaxes to about 5.10a. The bolts follow a straight line up the column face, but the climbing does NOT; the line of least resistance meanders from the left to the right column edges, with small but positive holds characterizing the terrain. The difficulties really don't quit until the 2 Big-Bolt Belay is reached, and the climb Truly Deserves its name....EVERLASTING!! The Direct Route is surely one Fine Face Climb.
FINISH. Most parties rap from here, however, one could continue up HOLLOW MEN at 5.12c if you have the prerequisite 14 @ #2 RP's to protect it.
Essential Gear
15 Quick-Draws and some small to medium stoppers....oh yes, and a runner to tie-off the tree !!

Description: Sassy and shy are probably the two best words to describe Silvia's personality. But her body is just adorable with the perkiest lil titties and the cutest pussy I have seen in a long time. She was a little shy at first but it didn't take that long before she was rubbing her lil clit to orgasm.

The team is located in Manhattan, Kansas and plays their home games at the Bramlage Coliseum. The Bramlage Coliseum has a capacity of 12,528 people and opened in 1988. The arena is known for being one of the toughest places for opponents to play, as the team held a record of more than a dozen straight years with a winning record at home. One reason why the arena is so difficult to play in is that the arena has eight sides. The team plays in the Big 12 Conference. The team is currently coached by Bruce Weber.

But those weeks required gimmicks-a story week and then then the movies. Jake danced pantless and took seconds away from the actual dance to put his pants back on. Nicole/Derek didn't do a proper quick step and danced with mops. And I'd even go as far to argue tonight that Niecy/Louis's AT ending with him keeping her from was gimmicky. Otherwise, I'd agree, but because two weeks called for themes and gimmicks I can't get what Len is saying. I feel like Erin/Maks are screwed by the judges no matter what they do.Originally Posted by ChelsieFan;3887186;
This could probably tie in with what I said above about Erin/Maks-is he getting judged or her? And should the celeb get points taken off because they get crap choreography, which they don't have control over, or because of something their pro does? I guess that's murky, because if a celeb dances really well, but overall the choreography lacks, I'm not sure they should be getting brownie points as a result. It also doesn't help when the judges tend to be all over with some couples and scoring them differently. The thing that made Mya even more boring for me was Dmitry. He's pretty to look at but the two of them together was like watching paint dry. And I think Maks will take Len's comments to heart, though I still think no matter what they do they aren't going to get approval across the board.I can understand this from the judges' point of view: in both cases with Nicole, it was really Derek's choregraphy at fault, not her performance of it; she performed what Derek gave her correctly. With Evan, the problem was in his execution, not anything Anna did. I think the judges prefer not to penalize the star for a pro's misguidance whenever possible, which to me is fair.
Nicole does have Mya's seriousness and competitiveness, which I can see would be a turn-off to some. But I think she has 10x the personality that Mya had, even if she doesn't turn it up to 11 all the time the way someone like Niecy does. She should try to lighten up more, but overall I enjoy watching her dance, which is all it takes for me to forgive other things. This was really true for me with Li'l Kim, when others wanted to judge her past rather than her performance and gracious behavior on the show. I loved watching Kim dance, but I did not enjoy watching Mya or Melissa dance. At that point, it's open season on them.

A simple, cost-effective solution to protect FPGA designs
Post a comment
The folks at Maxim Integrated Products say that their 1-Wire secure memory devices have been chosen by Altera for a new security solution that adds additional security to designs using the Altera Cyclone III and Cyclone II FPGA families.
Maxim's secure memory devices, priced at less than $1.00 (1000-up), incorporate both the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1), a thoroughly scrutinized public hash protocol developed by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the cost-effective 1-Wire interface. This combination of technologies results in an elegant challenge-and-response authentication scheme that prevents unauthorized cloning of OEM FPGA designs.
The security solution utilizes a challenge-and-response-based authentication (identify friend or foe, or IFF) sequence between the FPGA and a 1-Wire secure memory device to differentiate between an authorized and a cloned environment. An authorized environment or product incorporates a 1-Wire secure memory, which has the correct OEM secret key. Once the FPGA determines that it is communicating in an authorized environment, it transitions to normal operation by enabling all the functions defined by the customer-specific configuration code stored in the SRAM. If the authentication sequence fails, the FPGA can either disable system operation or set system operation to reduced functionality.
Maxim's 1-Wire secure memories use the SHA-1 protocol, which has been thoroughly scrutinized and certified by the cryptographic community. The folks at Maxim believe that SHA-1's public nature gives Maxim's secure memory devices more credence than solutions based on proprietary and private security algorithms that typically rely on "security by obscurity." Compared to authentication products which are based on encryption algorithms, Maxim's SHA-1 based security solutions are subject to significantly lower export restrictions, making them ideal for products that have broad international distribution.
Maxim's 1-Wire bus is a simple signaling scheme that combines data and power for device operation onto a single bus and ground return. This clever communication scheme allows designers to add memory, authentication, and mixed-signal functions while minimizing system interconnect.
You can learn more about 1-Wire at www.maxim-ic.com/1-Wire. For an online presentation of how this security solution works, please visit www.maxim-ic.com/Cyclone. The complete FPGA security reference design is available on Altera's website; Click Here for more details.

In a lot of ways, Cody Zeller's Summer League performance offers promise of a bright future in the NBA. The lottery pick floundered in his rookie season in Charlotte, so Zeller's impressive play this summer has to have a lot of Hornets fans relieved.
However, there's one area of the floor Zeller still has to show drastic improvement. If he does, it could bode well for his success and the success of the Hornets in 2014-15.

The acolyte will deride the obvious misses amid this collection of hits, among them "The Fly," "Please," "The Wanderer" and "Elevation," at least the Tomb Raider remix that would have fit nicely on the wobbly dancefloor-bound Disc Two; the casual fan won't even notice, since the casual fan skipped most of the band's '90s output anyway, insisting on staying beneath the shadow of The Joshua Tree. Still, it's amazing U2 could fill two discs this go-round, since there were half as many albums to choose from as there were for the 1980-to-1990 best-and-rest-of twofer and a quarter as many moments worth getting stuck in or on. ("Desire" and "With or Without You" for, say, "Miss Sarajevo" and "The Hands That Built America," the latter a languid new track from Gangs of New York, might be considered trading down.) But taken as a whole, from B-sides ("Happiness is a Warm Gun") to besides ("Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" from Batman Forever), this is the disc of revelations--the compilation that redeems the band's '90s albums not as the work of bored superstars gazing at their collective navel and pile of cash, but as pop stars who stayed interested when they stopped proselytizing and started pissing off hotel balconies. If the first best-of is the soundtrack to an arena-rock revival, the new one's what they throw on at the after party; it's abuzz with the clinking of glasses and the chattering of supermodels, with Bono and band huddled behind velvet ropes and wraparound shades.

The grandest discovery and joy come from hearing concept albums, such as they were, torn apart and reassembled as a gathering of rootless singles; it's far better when "Mysterious Ways" gives way to a "Beautiful Day" instead of Bono tryin' to throw his arms around the world, and a blast when "Hold Me, Thrill Me" is followed out onto the dance floor by a new mix of "Discotheque," the greatest U2 single that wasn't. Odd that the band would include the William Orbit remix of "Electrical Storm," the new single, on the first disc; it fits better on the inessential second, a compendium of redos intended for the clubs, most of which went out of business in 1998. Better to hear The Edge's edgy guitar--strings like razors, played with bloodied fingers--than imagine it, which is all the remixes can offer; turns out it was precisely what the band couldn't leave behind.

Samsung licenses Rambus' Yellowstone technology
Post a comment
Rambus Inc. Monday said that Samsung Electronics Co. has licensed its high speed Yellowstone memory interface for use in future DRAM products.
Samsung is a major producer of Rambus RDRAM chips for use in the Sony Corp. PlayStation II electronic game console. Some industry analysts believe Samsung is aiming to develop a new memory chip using the Yellowstone interface for the next generation Sony game console.
Sony itself has licensed Yellowstone from Rambus. Toshiba Corp. and Elpida memory Inc. are also Yellowstone licensees.
The new Rambus DRAM architecture is expected to achieve data rates of 3.2GHz to 6.4GHz and beyond, enabling system memory bandwidth up to 100Gbytes/s.
Yellowstone uses a Rambus circuit technology called FlexPhase that allows precise on-chip alignment of data with clock frequency. This eliminates the need of printed circuit board trace length matching to bring data into line with clock cycles. Rambus said this avoids added latency and a 20% bandwidth penalty associated with 8-to-10-bit encoding used in present DRAM circuits.

I thought this was funny, found it in the Daily news.
Fans are letting Thomas have it
At times during the day, Thomas must have felt like he was listening to a sports talk show. Longtime Knicks fans in the jury pool offered their take on the team's recent failings.
"Can I speak freely?" maintenance man Tommy Vazquez, 37, asked Judge Gerard Lynch, with Thomas two seats away. "In my opinion, he evaluates talent well but he hasn't done well as the GM [general manager] of the Knicks."
Thomas dropped his head to the table in mock disappointment when computer engineer Robert Becker, 28, told Lynch he "used to be a fan of the Knicks."
"I gave up on the Knicks after they signed Latrell Sprewell," Becker said, prompting the sports-savvy Lynch to remind him that Thomas had nothing to do with the trade that brought the troubled star to the Garden after he had choked his coach at practice.
Jurors might also hear about the married Marbury's alleged sex romp with a female Knicks employee outside a Manhattan strip club - a claim Browne-Sanders made in pretrial papers.
Receptionist Irene Ray, 58, of the Bronx, said that while she hadn't heard about the case, she knew about Marbury's efforts to market a low-priced basketball sneaker.
"I know Marbury's got that $15 sneaker out," Ray told Lynch. "I think that is great."
Others said they might have a hard time complying with Lynch's request that they ignore the sports pages, at least until the trial is over.
"I'm a Yankee fan," said Dr. Philip Lief, 67, a vice chairman of the department of medicine at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx. "I would do what I had to do."
"It would be hard for me," admitted Lynch, who said his introduction to newspapers came from reading the sports pages of the Daily News his father brought home. "I started in the back."

CCTI upgrades system
The Carbon Career & Technical Institute will soon join the rest of the county school districts in updating its student information system to PowerSchool.
"There's no downside to the transition," Nate Rinda, Director of Technology told the Joint Operating Committee at their meeting Thursday. "It's all benefit."
PowerSchool is a Pearson software product that supports 8.5 million students in 50 states and more than 50 countries, making it the most widely used system of its kind in the world.
More importantly it is used by the school districts in Carbon County and any system integration would make cooperation all the more easy.
Students and parents will be able to log in and check grades and attendance, among many other features.
Currently, CCTI uses a program from Intermediate Unit #21 that not only lacks many of the features and ease of PowerSchool, but costs much more.
Rinda expects savings of thousands per year. "What we have now, they have different classifications, so they're tacking on for every thing. They charge $3.60 per student for attendance, $5.92 per student for grading."
Even at a rate of $1,275 per student, with all the training involved, data conversion and final implementation, PowerShare is expected to cost $400 less than they're existing contract.
The committee was very excited about this new system, and they expect to vote on it next month or two, when an official contract can be presented, so they can install and begin training on the new software before the start of the next school year.

In my search for that smelly BBW black cunt I needed to be creative to find more women of my desire – now being the creative genius that I naturally am this wasn't so hard.
I had badges and cards printed identifying me as a man affiliated to an institution called the Ethnic Diversity Organization. It was bullshit of course but you'll be surprised as to what people are ready to believe as long as you have the proper all be it false ID.
I approached a very likely candidate and identified myself telling her that I was conducting research and if she could help me out.
"Sure" she said smiling. Her name was Candace and she was 47 years old – straight black hair cut short – thick lips and a heavy set face – wasn't much to look at but I find women like this highly sexy. She was quite huge 250 – 260lbs easily her belly was protruding and her tits almost covered her torso while she sat. She wore a loose white T-shirt and a long denim skirt She of course fit perfectly into what I wanted. There was no ring on her finger and by the looks of it she looked quite sad and lonely. Today was going to be her lucky day but before that could happen I needed to know if what she had between her legs was as smelly as I wanted or not.
"I'm conducting research on Women of your Ethnicity – specially Big beautiful Women like you – would you mind answering a few questions" "Sure Ill answer your questions – shoot" she was happy to be talking to someone and I sensed that she enjoyed company.
"Ok first are you single?" "Yes" she said "Single and lonely – why are you interested?" she laughed teasingly I laughed with her as well and quickly added "What if I was" smiling at her She hit me mockingly on my arm "Oh – don't tease an old lady – what would a good looking young man want with an old cow like me" "More than you can imagine" I was surprised how fast I had reached till here but I wasn't going to go further until I knew what hid between those legs.
She leaned close to me "If this is some silly college prank then I urge you don't play with an old woman's feelings – I already have enough pain to deal with without this" she sounded angry but It seemed sad to me "This is not a prank" I took out a hundred dollar bill and held it in front of her – "I need to see something" She laughed "what?" "Your pussy" She was still laughing and slowly it dawned on her that I was telling the truth – she was motionless for a long time and then she said "Here in the park" I knew I had her "Yes no one is watching – you just slide out your panties – lift your skirt – spread your legs and give me a few seconds down there that's all"
I could tell she was going to do it but was waiting for me to say something – I kept quiet just trying to gauge how much time it would take to break her – she laughed a bit then stopped – then she smiled and with determination she said "OK" She stood up and pulled down her panties then sat back down spread her legs and lifted her skirt for me to see. There it was right in front of me – It was beautiful – I came close to it and saw it right next to my face – It was the most beautiful cunt I had seen – trimmed down and spread open – all pink inside like a grapefruit and it smelled divine – I was actually mesmerized by its beauty and I planted a long kiss on it hoping to pass on some of that beauty to myself.
I brought myself out from between her legs handed her the money and started walking away – I had seen heaven but I didn't deserve it. She called out to me and I stopped – she had her panties in her hand and came behind me. I looked at her and just said "You have something extra-ordinary between your legs" "I know dearie" she said "I know once I get someone down there they wont go – but no one ever wanted to go there in a long time – then you came along – why did you leave" "You showed me heaven – but right now I'm searching for hell – the day I've made my peace with it – Ill come back to you – if you will still have me"
She just nodded at me and handed me her panties – "I will wait for you – but I'm not getting younger – do whatever you want fast – and once your done find me – Ill be right here waiting"
I saw her go away and felt incomplete – all that I ever wanted was what that woman was – But I searched for something vile and dirty and I needed to fulfill a promise that I had made – the day I would do that I would return to Candace and be with her forever.

Amy Sue Nathan
The Glass Wives
St. Martin's Griffin / $14.99 print / $8.89 digital / May 14, 2013
Evie and Nicole Glass share a last name. They also shared a husband.
When a tragic car accident ends the life of Richard Glass, it also upends the lives of Evie and Nicole, and their children. There's no love lost between the widow and the ex. In fact, Evie sees a silver lining in all this heartache—the chance to rid herself of Nicole once and for all. But Evie wasn't counting on her children's bond with their baby half-brother, and she wasn't counting on Nicole's desperate need to hang on to the threads of family, no matter how frayed. Strapped for cash, Evie cautiously agrees to share living expenses—and her home—with Nicole and the baby. But when Evie suspects that Nicole is determined to rearrange more than her kitchen, Evie must decide who she can trust. More than that, she must ask: what makes a family?
The title of Amy Sue Nathan's The Glass Wives is wickedly clever. Glass is fragile. Glass can break and shatter. Glass wives can, too. The premise alone—that of an ex-wife and a widow—had me thinking, could I do that? Could I share my life with someone who caused me so much pain? Could I share my grief over the death of an ex, the father of my children, with the woman he left me for and her newborn son?
Nathan and I have a few things in common. Well, one big thing that can add up to a lot of small things. We're both from Philly. Northeast Philly to be exact. It is ingrained in our Rocky-tainted DNA to fight back. So, reading about Evie's dilemma of do I have to be nice to the grieving mistress/stepmother had me screaming "Hell to the no!" as I turned the pages. I kept waiting for the fisticuffs to ensue. Surely there had to be a face-punch. A slap or two or three? Broken furniture or a vase? Hair pulling? Just a little name calling?
It didn't happen. "What-the-what?!" I exclaimed. If my ex-husband's mistress-turned-wife-now-baby-mama/widow showed up on my doorstep wanting to be housemates, I think I'd lose my proverbial shiznit. Nathan had me contemplating anger management classes. How can she be from Philly and not give this character a slapdown? Insert teachable moment by way of reading an amazing novel:
Evie is a mother first helping her children grieve over the loss of their father. Like it or not, she's grieving too. Grieving for the same man all over again but for very different reasons this time around. Nicole is a widow. She did not end her marriage by choice, as Evie did. She is raising a baby who will never have a memory of his father. Ouch. Even I, the sometime anger laden girl from under the El, felt bad for the woman.
Damn you, Nathan!
Evie has a heart too. She's long been over her failed marriage. It's now Nicole who's lost Richard. Evie lost him already and grieved it. Together they're trying to figure out how to raise his children together and without their father.
At first Evie says moving her into her home is purely financial. Without his child support she can't afford to keep her kids in their home. They've already lost too much. So, the basement is Nicole's new apartment. It works, at first. Evie needs a babysitter for work or for her love life, for when her overprotective girlfriends need to hang out. Plus, the rent keep her able to provide for her children. Then things change. She actually starts to like Nicole and their new modern family. They bond and even bake together. Then things take a turn. Possibly betrayed once again by Nicole, Evie is faced with the biggest dilemma of her life. Lifelong friendships are tested. Her future and the future of her children is at stake. Evie must define who her family is and what it will become.
The Glass Wives made me made me realize that at the end of the day our kids matter more than petty jealousies that no longer exist. It reminded about forgiveness.

Boasting that they have dented the leadership of one of B.C.'s most violent gangs, police have charged five more highly placed members of the so-called United Nations criminal organization with conspiring to kill their equally notorious rivals.
The charges concern the targeting of Jonathan, James and Jarrod Bacon, ringleaders of the Red Scorpion gang. The two groups are waging a violent turf battle over control of the marijuana and cocaine trade in the B.C.'s Lower Mainland.
The five new charges bring to eight the number of highly positioned United Nations gang members who have been charged in recent weeks. At the time of the police news conference, Canada-wide warrants had been issued for the five but they had not been arrested.
But police say the charges are significant because they are gradually hobbling the UN's top leadership.
"This is significant progress," RCMP Sergeant Bill Whalen said during the briefing at a secure and secret Mountie compound in the Fraser Valley. "These are the leading, most significant players within the United Nations gang. Will it lead to instability? Perhaps. Will that disorganization mean less crime? We hope."
However, RCMP Corporal Dale Carr said he could not promise the police actions will end the carnage in the short term.
"When the key leadership of any organization is taken away, there's a serious effect," said Cpl. Carr, a spokesman for the Mounties' Integrated Homicide Investigative Team. "We'd like to be able to say that the violence will go away, but that would be naive, certainly."
But police say they are whittling away at the top criminals who created and control the gangs.
Last month, the United Nations' founder, Clayton Roueche, pleaded guilty in a Seattle court to trying to import more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana into the United States.
Last month, police also swooped down on three other UN members and associates: Barzan Tilli-Choli, 26, Karwan Saed, 32, and Aram Ali, 23. All were charged with conspiring to kill the Red Scorpions' Bacon brothers.
The Bacon brothers have been implicated in the shocking multiple slaying of six men in a Surrey, B.C., apartment building in the fall of 2007.
More than 20 people have been killed since the beginning of the year in what police describe as "targeted hits." Scores more have been injured. The violence has tainted Vancouver's reputation and drawn derision from international media who have commented on the Olympic city's bloody street battles.
Police said yesterday that five other men have also been charged in the Bacon brothers murder conspiracy. They are: Soroush Ansari, 28, Dilun Heng, 25, Daniel Russell, 27, Yong Sung John Lee, 27 and John William Croituru, a former World Wrestling Federation wrestler who went by the names K-9 and Bruiser Bedlam.
During the police probe of the UN gang, police also seized weapons, drugs, cash, ammunition and explosives, including more than 20 firearms with more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition, grenades and $265,000 in cash.
While police have made inroads with gang arrests, the violence in the Vancouver area has not waned. Earlier this month, two male high-school students in Abbotsford, B.C., were shot, their bodies found in a truck two days later. Police said those students and two other young men found dead in March were low-level drug dealers caught up in the gang war.
The four men were all thought to be rookie members of the Red Scorpions gang, police said, noting that the gangs are now targeting people on the lowest rungs of the organization.

Ryan Boatright can be heard daily in Storrs, Conn., yelling instruction to UConn teammates young and old, prodding them to work harder in the 6 a.m. weight training sessions and play smarter on the court during the afternoon pickup games.
On a team that lost two players to the NBA and three more to transfers and is banned from the 2013 NCAA Tournament, the sophomore guard is taking it upon himself to step forward and lead the Huskies on the court during this year of transition.
"I was born to be a leader," Boatright told the Hartford Courant. "I was raised to be a leader. I was a team leader in high school. I would be doing it anyway, but with the inexperienced team we have, I'm speaking out, when I see something that doesn't look right, I'll say something to the person. And I try to lead by example."
The roster is certainly thin after center Andre Drummond and small forward Jeremy Lamb left for the NBA and center Alex Oriakhi (Missouri) and Roscoe Smith (UNLV) and Michael Bradley (junior college) transferred in the wake of NCAA sanctions for the program's academic shortcomings.
There will be no postseason rewards for this team, but there is much to play for. Coach Kevin Ollie, Jim Calhoun's hand-picked successor, is on a one-year contract. He'll need Boatright and point guard Shabazz Napier to score in bunches, he'll need forwards DeAndre Daniels and Tyler Olander to grow their games and he'll need freshman Omar Calhoun to make an instant impact.
For his one-year audition for the UConn job, Ollie says he has no problem with Boatright's boisterous leadership style.
"He has a heart," Ollie told the newspaper. "Boat plays a lot bigger than he is, and that's what you do. You play big. His leadership has been remarkable, and I want him to keep doing what he's doing. He's surprising me, and I want him to keep surprising me."

Snow Patrol: 'We're not ready for greatest hits'
Though their music may be ubiquitious, Snow Patrol are relatively anonymous pop stars — much to the modest band's relief
Gary Lightbody, the lead singer of Snow Patrol, is edging his chair farther round the table towards mine. "I'm not coming on to you," he says, slightly embarrassed, "I'm just trying to get out of the sun. I'm Irish and, well, my arm's on fire." The Los Angeles sun may be making a beeline for Belfast's most pallid pop stars, but nobody at this swanky hotel rooftop pool bats an eyelid at them, even when the photographer steps into the water fully clothed to get a better shot of the band.
This is how Snow Patrol prefer it. "Even our own fans would have trouble picking us out of a line-up," says Lightbody, who is 33, dressed in jeans and T-shirt, with messy hair, a…

France Plans to Triple Biofuels Output in Three Years
2 February 2005
Reuters. France unveiled details of its plan to triple the country's biofuel output within three years and said it still hoped to meet the output target set by the European Union for 2010.
In September, French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin declared biofuels a national priority and called for an additional 800,000 tonnes of biofuels to be produced by the end of 2007.
The new production is split between 480,000 tonnes of biodiesel and 320,000 tonnes of ethanol, the farm ministry said in a statement. Projects will be chosen in the spring, it said.
Current French biofuel production stands at 100,000 tonnes of ethanol, derived from sugar beet, wheat or maize, which is then blended with fuel, and almost 500,000 tonnes of biodiesel mainly made from rapeseed.
The ministry said that in 2005, bioethanol production will be doubled by the addition of 100,000 tonnes. For biodiesel, the new approvals will mean another 30,000 tonnes.
The EU last year set a target that fuels should contain two percent of biofuels by 2005, a figure rising to 5.75% by 2010. France has already said it would be two years behind the first target but it still hopes to meet the 2010 deadline.

The real DuBois family vs. the fictional DuBois family
As part of CBS's continuing series on the real Allison DuBois (side note: do you ever think she gets addressed as anything other than "the real" Allison DuBois anymore?), they've done a video interview with her husband, "the real" Joe DuBois, and their children, who are similarly aged, but not named Ariel Bridgette and Marie.
In it, they talk about how their life compares to their on-screen counterparts. The general consensus seems to be that personality-wise, the characters are pretty true-to-life, but of course the situations are generally different. For instance, this Allison DuBois has never had a brain tumor, and this Joe DuBois has never been held hostage in his office.
One big difference though, is that the real Allison DuBois claims to have her visions while she's awake, while, as we well know, her television character's visions come to her in dream-form. DuBois is happy that in season 6, Allison is having some waking visions, but recent episodes unfortunately seem to be taking those visions away again.
The best thing about the video for me, is that they show clips from the pilot, and the girls are terribly young and cute. Sofia Vassilieva is nearly unrecognizable! Take a look for yourself:

LORAIN — Domestic violence prevention activists are reaching out to religious leaders to train them on helping parishioners.
Domestic violence victims often turn to their religious leaders for help, said Mary Lou Doebele, co-founder of Abigail Ministries of Northeast Ohio, a Westlake-based group that ministers to women who have been abused.
"You are on the front lines," Doebele told about 35 clergy at a Sept. 6 workshop at Mercy Regional Medical Center that was run by Genesis House, a domestic violence support group. "How you respond to that person is key for them to get help and for them to begin to heal. I can't express that enough."
For Doebele, helping victims is personal. She said she was beaten and emotionally abused for 26 years by her husband. The two reconciled after her husband got help in 1996. However, Doebele said her husband's transformation is rare, and there were times she was sure he would kill her.
"I've had women say, 'That would never happen to me,' " she said. "Well, never comes and then it's too late."
The outreach began with a meeting in June, according to Virginia Beckman, Genesis House executive director. Members of Abigail Ministries, El Centro — a Latino empowerment group — Genesis House and the Mercy Parish Nurses program formed a six-person subcommittee that met with Lorain County clergy.
The response was enthusiastic with about 40 clergy attending. Beckman said organizers were "overcome" by the turnout.
"People were passionate and excited and hungry for information," she said. "As they were cleaning out the room, people were still staying and talking. It really kept the excitement going for us."
Beckman said clergy at the meeting said they needed more training to help parishioners who are victims or victimizers. The Sept. 6 workshop and one scheduled for Thursday are in response to that request.
Education and training Sept. 6 included defining domestic violence and the cycle of violence, domestic violence statistics, warning signs and do's and don'ts when dealing with abusers and victims. Meg McIntyre, Genesis House community education manager, emphasized domestic violence occurs among all ethnic and income backgrounds.
"It doesn't matter who you are," she said. "It matters who you hook up with and whether or not they choose to abuse. That's it."
McIntyre said the vast majority of victims are women, but it is hard to calculate how many men are victims. Many men don't report abuse because of societal stigmas about a man being beaten by a woman.
Batterers often abuse their victim's children, and McIntyre said it's common for children who witness domestic violence between their parents to become abusers or victims as adults.
"Just living in that terror zone is also traumatizing for kids even if they aren't being beaten as well," she said.
McIntyre said boys who see their mothers beaten are far more likely to become abusers than those who don't.
McIntyre, whose job includes counseling high school students, said dating violence is common among teenagers. McIntyre, who based her comments on Bureau of Justice Statistics information, said there is little funding for court-ordered batterer's intervention programs because they are highly unsuccessful.
"People who are abusive, it's like their religion," she said. "It's a part of their personality."
The statistics were personal for the Rev. Marilyn Parker-Jeffries of the New Creation Baptist Church in Lorain.
A tearful Parker-Jeffries told McIntyre that she is trying to help one of her parishioners who is being abused by another parishioner.
"The cycle is so evident, but he knows what to do," Parker-Jeffries said of the abuser.
Clergy were advised to tell victims that God doesn't want them to stay in a situation where their lives or their children lives are endangered. They were told where to refer victims to get help and to encourage victims to develop escape plans. Instructions include not to confront a batterer until the counselor is sure the abuser's victim is safe and not to confuse an abuser's remorse with repentance.
All of the clergy who have participated in the outreach so far have been Christian. However, Beckman said the outreach is an interfaith effort with leaders of all religions being encouraged to participate.
"All faith leaders have a chance to set the tone," she said.
Contact Evan Goodenow at 329-7129 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Prevention Workshop
A domestic violence prevention workshop for religious leaders by Genesis House is 8:30 a.m. to noon Thursday at the Carlisle Visitor Center at Lorain County Metro Parks Carlisle Reservation, 12882 Diagonal Road, Carlisle Township. For reservation information, call Virgina Beckman, Genesis House executive director, at (440) 244-1853.
Clergy taking part in domestic violence prevention workshops are given a list of do's and don'ts when dealing with abusers and victims. Instructions include:
- Tell victims their abuse is not God's will. Married victims should be told the marriage covenant is being broken by the abuser.
- Christian married women should not be told to submit to their husband's abuse or encouraged to quickly forgive abuse.
- Encourage victims to develop an escape plan and give them community resources for help.
- Don't confront abusers without the victim's permission and assurances that the victim is safe.
- Don't send abusers home with prayer or confuse remorse with repentance. Don't quickly forgive abusers and work with others in the community to hold them accountable.
- Don't do marriage counseling, which can further endanger victims.

Chief Keef doesn't exactly acknowledge the struggle within more so than he does simply contend with it.
After it was revealed that he was booted from his apartment yesterday for allegedly owing upwards of $12,000 in back rent, he's back on the streets, ain't worried about nothing like French Montana says.
Via TMZ:
Chief Keef says back rent was not the trigger for his eviction … he tells us he was booted from his apartment because his neighbors just didn't like him.
TMZ previously reported … Keef was evicted from his unit in Highland Park, Illinois Tuesday. Sheriff's deputies escorted him out, and there were reports he owed $11,300 in back rent.
But our photog spotted a self-professed "turnt up" Keef in West Hollywood hours after the eviction … and he says it's not about money … it's because, "I'm too bad, I guess I'm a bad little young boy, I gotta go."
Obviously unfazed, The Almighty Sosa posted a video where he was "looking for houses." Take a look at both clips and just know if you're in the neighboring area of Highland Park, Chief Keef may be coming to a community near YOU.

"Cops'll smell your fingers," says Black Lips drummer Joe Bradley about the difficulty of staying out of trouble while on tour in Mexico. He should know. His volcanic Atlanta band documented a blowout show of theirs in Tijuana for the live album Los Valientes del Mundo Nuevo, released earlier this year.
"There's actually a vital scene in Mexico, not that you'd know it," Bradley quips. Black Lips had played previously in Mexicali, but after a powwow with their new bosses at Vice Records, Tijuana was chosen for the sweaty setting of the live album.
And they've managed to squeeze in one more album before 2007 ends. Their fourth studio showing in as many years, Good Bad Not Evil may be the best garage record since White Blood Cells. Country, psych and blues are chewed up and spit out again as gritty punk, every song blessed with rickety hooks, a swaggering rhythm section, Cole Alexander's frazzled singalongs, and an aroma of smoke and reverb.
Black Lips call their sound "flower punk," but that's only because they don't trust rock critics to handle the describing. "It's got a lot to do with your line of work," says Bradley, plainly. "Journalists would give us the most ridiculous titles, like 'blues country.' So we just decide to call ourselves something. It's like we're too hippie to be punk and too punk to be hippie, or something like that."
Coming out of Georgia and marauding through bygone genres has also earned Black Lips a misplaced reputation for playing Southern rock. Again, Bradley is wary of such tags. "Well, Southern rock & roll is [basically a mix of] country, blues, and rock & roll. The other three guys are big fans of that. I don't know. I wouldn't really call us Southern rock."
Truth be told, Good Bad Not Evil is all over the place, between the incandescent psych of "Veni Vidi Vici," the murder-ballad stomp of "Lock and Key," the Velvet Underground-damaged garage of "Step Right Up," the bristling jangle of "Cold Hands," and the freaky rave-up that is "Slime and Oxygen." Some songs make Alexander out to be a dead ringer for Lou Reed, while on others, he resembles Eric Burdon howling a typically dark Animals tune.
"I don't think we have quite as much soul as Eric Burdon," Bradley says and laughs. He cites the 13th Floor Elevators as a big influence and explains that the country-tinged morbidity of "How Do You Tell a Child That Someone Has Died"—Evil's standout song about explaining death to a kid—was inspired by the cassettes you pick up at a truck stop. "Have you ever heard one of those trucker compilations where a guy just talks over the music? They're funny and dark at the same time."
Black Lips ace that same trick throughout Evil. Alexander rattles off a long list of Indian tribes on the peyote-stained love song "Navajo" and sings from the perspective of young thugs on the short-but-startling anthem "Bad Kids," detailing with vocal harmonies a long rap sheet ranging from truancy to graffiti to dodging child support. It's laugh-out-loud hilarious, as well as disturbingly realistic.
The raucous "O Katrina!" recasts the disastrous hurricane as a woman you'd never want to cross: "O Katrina, why you gotta be mean?" "It's supposed to be a double-entendre," Bradley says. "We're not a political band or anything, [but] our guitarist [Ian Brown] is from there. And a girl's a lot like a hurricane—she can fuck your shit up real bad."

When told that it's nice to hear a band singing songs with actual characters and plots, Bradley counters, "Sometimes you have to apply a theme to songs if you don't have any more ideas. I'm a big fan of nonsensical lyrics."
Okay. At least he owns up to Black Lips' anachronistic sound. "In a lot of those '60s pop records, they'd mix the vocals really high, record on tape, and put weird white noise in the background. We'll record some in the bathroom and pick up reverb so it sounds old and warm. It just sounds better. It's not as sterile."
Sterile is not a word that'd ever come up in describing the band's infamous live energy, which earned them a rep for trashing stages. Any truth in it? "That's more or less a myth. Maybe when we were much younger, like 16. We don't really do that anymore. We just try to have fun."

There are pros and cons to both. With the former, the anxious reader's fears are calmed when they open the book and realize that 1670 Venice or 1838 Russia really no different from 1803 London--but on the flip side, you may as well have set the plot and characters in 1803 London. On the occasion of the latter, the reader may be sucked into a completely different world and perhaps learn something they never may have known, but the downside may be that they found the vivid sketch of the setting overpowering the actual plot and characters (which, IMO may not be so terrible if your objective is for the setting to take on a character of its own).
Both of the aforementioned tactics can be correct, if either one is more comfortable for you, but for all of us history buffs who write unusual historicals, it is important that the romance and the characters much remain within the forefront of the novel. In a way, historical details are like backstory. You don't want to info-dump the beginning of each scene because it slows the pace of the story. Instead, study the way in which you reveal your characters by dropping little hints of their personalities and manner, follow the crumbs of idiosyncracies and dialogue dispersed within the text, and sprinkle your details throughout the novel.
So tell me, what are your own techniques for sketching the historical details of your period?
Any frustrations you run into when attempting to write about something most people are ignorant of?
Do you disagree with my pros and cons of wallpaper vs vivid details?

Talk:Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)
Does anyone else think that the table thats shows the available and unavailable pokémon is annoying becuase its size? --Moisesmorales δ 16:46, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yep. I'm going to take away all of the Pokemon that weren't in the game. Porygon-Z 16:55, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
I don't know... it's still pretty annoying. I'll try to find a way to make 3 colmns to make it even smaller--Moisesmorales δ 01:52, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Hmm... now I want to have this article moved to be Pokémon Stadium (Japan)but I don't want to do it if it's not a good idea. What does anybody else think?--Moisesmorales δ 00:55, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Red, Green, or Blue?
What about Yellow? It's compatible, right? It wouldn't come out for another few weeks... but that never stopped Crystal. TTEchidna 09:08, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
Stadium 0?
I never heard it being referred as Stadium 0. I've heard people call it Pocket Monsters Stadium to differ it, as that's the other name for it.--Midnight Blue 03:52, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
Findings and Questions
I've been doing some "research" on the Stadium series lately, and have come up with the following info:
- According to the first question seen here, the 42 Pokemon were selected for a reason. However, the translation sites just give me garbage. Can anyone translate it?
- Yellow is compatible with the game, as seen here in Question 12. The game uses colored Game Boys to show which game is connected, so Yellow's compatibility is confirmed at the end of this video when the player inserts a yellow Game Boy.
- Unlike the English Stadium, the game seems to use the cart mechanics. For instance, in the video in the third link, Tauros doesn't have to recharge after it uses Hyper Beam to defeat a Pokemon.
- In the L50-55 division, there are generic trainers rather than trainer classes from the game. (You can see one of the trainers in the video.) These trainers were later re-used in the Japanese version of the second Stadium. Does anyone know their names?
- The L50-55 and L1-30 divisions returned in the Japanese version of the second Stadium as Nintendo Cups 97 and 98 respectively. The Poke Cup in the international versions uses the level requirement of Nintendo Cup 97. You can see this info in the Stadium Cup talk page.
- There is a GB Tower in the game.
- Starmie has different animations, and I'm sure other Pokemon do as well.
- A video showed a mode similar to a Free Battle mode where you could select computer opponents from a list. Does anyone have any info on this mode?
Going to edit the page. MagicBarrier 04:39, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
- Something like:
- "By what criteria were the available 40 species chosen?
- With Pokémon that actually appeared at the past Pokémon League/s* at the core, and then adding Pokémon that weren't included until all Types were represented."
- I don't know if this is referring to the in-game Pokémon League, or if there were tournament/s called "Pokémon League". Bluesun 17:03, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply.
I think they're referring to real-life tournaments, as the info for the Nintendo Cups 97-99 states they were based off of real tournaments. It would also explain the lack of pre-evos in the game. MagicBarrier 20:02, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
3D sprites?
"their 3D sprites can still be viewed in the other modes"
There is no such thing as a "3D sprite". It's either a sprite (made from a pre-rendered 3D model to look 3D) or it's a 3D model. I'm not changing since I have no idea what it means (I would guess it should say "3D model", but I'm not sure). Dannyjenn 02:24, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

European Challenge Cup - Pool Five
Bayonne and Mont-de-Marsan to fight for pride
January 15, 2009
Manny Edmonds will be looking to inspire a Bayonne victory over Mont de Marsan © Getty Images
Bayonne host fellow Top 14 side Mont de Marsan on Friday night, with both sides fighting for pride after their hopes of progressing in the European Challenge Cup slipped away.
The home side will be hoping to confirm third place in Pool Five, while Mont de Marsan are still chasing their first win in the tournament this season. Former Australia international Manny Edmonds starts at fly-half for Bayonne, who have failed to convert the form that has seen them move into fifth in the Top 14 into results in Europe.
Former Wasps hooker Trevor Leota starts up-front for the visitors alongside Guillaume Leleu and Ben Coutts, while experience flanker Jerome Carre leads the side. A win could well provide momentum for the side, who are currently one from bottom in the Top 14.
Bayonne: J Peyras; F Bolovucu, T Lacroix, V Inigo, B Fall; M Edmonds, C Garcia; J Fiorini, A Heguy, D Avril, A Springgay, N Laffite, G Bernad, J Deen, M Baget

People have forgotten why Israel came to be
WASHINGTON – Something overwhelms egocentric men when they are in a room with other stuffed shirts. It happened to Mitt Romney in 2012 when he blurted out that 47 percent of Americans would vote for President Obama because they were dependent on the government, and not vote for him, the Republican presidential nominee.
Just days ago, Secretary of State John Kerry was in a closed-door meeting with a regiment of wealthy big shots and pronounced the corrosive "a-word" – apartheid – in condemnation of Israel.
Romney didn't know he was being videotaped. It may have cost him the election. Kerry didn't know he would be quoted by the Daily Beast, whose reporter didn't agree to keep what Kerry said off the record.
Kerry's host, the Trilateral Commission – yes, there really is one – strives to get signatures of all attendees on a secrecy pledge. This self-anointed commission was created 40 years ago by Standard Oil heir David Rockefeller to keep peace in the world. Whatever the attendees worry about in their secret meetings, rest assured they're concerned about you as digits.
Kerry told his fellow elites that if Israel didn't knuckle under to Islamist demands that it help create an independent Palestine, that Israel would soon become an "apartheid" nation. Like pre-Nelson Mandela's South Africa. It is a mean word. Apartheid stands for a tiny minority of one people, a dictatorship, as a matter of policy to suppress all human and economic rights of another.
Kerry's anti-Semitic description doesn't remotely fit Israel. After his crack got out, he withdrew it. It didn't cost Kerry, mainly because turning a blind eye to 66 years of terrorism by Israel's neighbors has, unaccountably, become fashionable here. There is no record of Kerry even mentioning the horrific Arab record to this so-called commission.
The blind eye is voguish because people have forgotten why Israel came to be. The ranks of us who do remember are thinning. And this capital is becoming more careless by the day. As Kerry was backing and filling, my mind turned to the newsreels of then Gen. Dwight Eisenhower forcing Germans to see what the death camps had done.
I remember an assembly at Lafayette High School in Buffalo, where a pro-German principal forced us to listen to an anti-Zionist screed as the United Nations weighed creation of a democratic Jewish state.
We had a dozen or more refugee schoolmates who escaped the gas chambers, but whose parents did not. They writhed in their seats. Finally, a burly Jewish football player vaulted to the stage, and sobbing, took the speaker by the lapels and begged him to stop. It was over. I never got over it. Maybe I should.
Israel was created out of American guilt and American pity in 1948. It was strongly opposed by the same Roosevelt WASPS who refused to increase immigration quotas for European Jews as Hitler was closing in. This crowd stood by in 1939 as the St. Louis, a refugee ship with nearly 900 Jews aboard, steamed forlornly back to Europe past the lights of Miami after trying to land.
Andrew Cuomo is now listed as one of the nation's worst governors by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington for scrapping a Moreland Act Commission on government reform and for, according to CREW, suppressing documents on his conduct as governor and attorney general. He has company: CREW lists 16 other "worst" governors. Cuomo's press office had no comment.
Secret government: Every business day, two more congressional aides quit to become Washington lobbyists. In the first quarter, 129 staffers signed up as elbow pinchers, according to a watchdog service called Legistorm.

'Beauty is Embarrassing'... and Brilliant.
(The film) takes a subject some know about and universalizes it, turning the tale of a man whose made his way through the complicated worlds of media and art and survived, magnificently.
Beauty is EmbarrassingDirector: Neil Berkeley
Cast: Wayne White, Mimi Pond, Gary Panter, Mark Mothersbaugh, Ric Heitzman, Paul Reubens, Matt Groening
Rated: R
Studio: Future You Pictures
Year: 2012
It's the typical documentary cliche - you may not know Wayne White, but you definitely 'know' his work. Don't think so? Well, what if we were to tell you that he was part of the underground/alternative comic movement coming out of New York in the late '70s. He worked on the influential magazine Raw and contributed to The Village Voice and The New Yorker. In 1986, he was one of 400 artists who applied for the job of designing the set and characters for Paul Reuben's quintessential Pee Wee's Playhouse. Landing the gig, he worked closely with Gary Panter and Richard Goleszowski to create characters like Floory, Randy, and Dirty Dog. Winning three Emmys, he would later contribute to other "kiddie" titles, such as Shining Time Station, The Weird Al Show, and Beakman's World.
Still don't know him? Well, he added stop motion puppetry to Peter Gabriel's "Big Time" video, and won an MTV Award for his art direction on the Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight, Tonight." Still nothing? Well then, you need to settle down with a tasty snack and a refreshing beverage and watch Beauty is Embarrassing, the brilliant new film by Neil Berkley. In collaboration with White, his wife Mimi Pond (who wrote the first ever episode of The Simpsons) and writers Chris Bradley and Kevin Klauber, we get the kind of polished overview that only reality can provide. White, now in his 50s, spends a lot of his time traveling around, putting on a one man show which highlights his upbringing in Tennessee, his introduction to "subversive" art while in college, his time with the seminal TV series, and his current career revival as a painter.
He's not just any painter, mind you. In typical White fashion, he scours thrift stores and junk shops for discarded motel-ready landscapes. He then takes the framed canvases back to his home studio, and meticulously "inserts" comic phrases into the scenery. Ripe with curse words and inappropriate sentiments, he was initially scoffed at by the 'serious' art world. Now, a few years later, he has been celebrated as a commentator and rebel, a sly Southern gent whose managed to remake himself several times over. As compelling a personality as any fictional character, White has maintained important friendships throughout the decades while he and his equally talented wife have raised two equally gifted kids. It's not a question of job, says Ms. Pond. The Whites create art because they are compelled to do so - Wayne most of all.
Vaguely connected to the content of the one man show, Beauty is Embarrassing traces his roots back to a childhood in Chattanooga, his stoic father, a bratty sister, and a mother severely injured in a car accident. It was this event which pushed White to pursue his dreams of being an artist. Step by step (and jumping around a bit), Berkley finds those who became his aesthetic sphere of influence and lets them describe/defend/deconstruct their friend/ally/coworker. Even a reclusive Paul Reubens sits down to explain how important White was to the personality of the Playhouse. There is lots of behind the scenes footage, glimpses of the show's initial production run in a converted NYC sweat shop and the chaos that went on when filming stopped. Equally compelling is the whole "on the fly" mindset. One of the most influential and beloved gems of the mid '80s was more a series of happy accidents than a well planned out presentation.
It's this kind of insight and detail that makes Beauty is Embarrassing so special. Sure, it gets into White's weird psyche, explaining his love of puppets, found objects, salty language, cardboard, hot glue, and the banjo with skill and insight. We learn of the initial rush of being part of the TV scene, and the dangers of over-polishing your awards. We watch as he builds kinetic sculptures of a fabled Southern icon and a massive George Jones head for a Houston gallery. There's an odd running gag about an LBJ mask that only seems to tickle White and an emotionally charged moment when an influential figure from his past shows up at one of his performances. Even more touching are the scenes of his elderly parents, still as Southern as sweet tea, tearing up over their son's success.
In fact, it's safe to say that Beauty is Embarrassing is one of the greatest examples of a career celebration ever. There's no scandal, White never slipping into psychosis ala Wild Man Fischer or 'screwing the professional pooch' like so many once famous documentary subjects. We learn of the workaholic drive that almost made him nuts, and the decision to drop out of the rat race known as Hollywood for a more psychologically sounds life as a painter. In a typical bit of surreal synergy, Todd Oldman, an MTV alum from House of Style, discovered White's word pictures and fell in love with them. He championed the coffee table book of his work which, then, allowed him to be taken more seriously by the art world. Now he is featured in galleries around the world, something White claims was always his goal/dream.
As engaging as it is informative and entertaining, Beauty is Embarrassing has literally nothing to be ashamed of. Instead, it's the reason the documentary genre excels where the fiction film often fails. It takes a subject some know about and universalizes it, turning the tale of a man whose made his way through the complicated worlds of media and art and survived, magnificently. He still bears the scars of a time spent in service of the machine and maintains his genial spirit even in the face of post-modern merchandising. Like many who came to the scene and survived - heck, even thrived - White walks a singularly solid path. He not only dances to his own drummer, he crafts the knotty beats himself. You may not have heard of Wayne White until now. Once you witness the story of his life, you'll never forget him, or his art.

Syrian television has reportedly been showing daily broadcasts of what it says are shipments of arms being smuggled into Syria from Lebanon, Turkey and other border areas.
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Although those broadcasts may be fabrications, at least some shipments of arms are being smuggled into Syria, and into the hands of those who oppose the government, reporters say.
Ghaith Abdul-Ahad is a correspondent for The Guardian newspaper based in Istanbul, Turkey. He's met with arms smugglers in Syria.
He tells host Marco Werman many of the weapons are coming across the border from Iraq, Lebanon and Turkey.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Tom McDonnell
Review for FESCO, Hayward, CA, USA
As a grassroots organization with substantial volunteer support, FESCO has been able to do amazing things in our community with very modest finances! Hundreds of formerly homeless families are now productive members of the community thanks to FESCO. As an example, last year 83% of our families who stayed more than two weeks moved to more permanent housing.
The aim of the Family Emergency Shelter Coalition (FESCO) is to enable homeless families with children to move toward self-sufficiency. FESCO provides both short-term emergency housing and longer stays in transitional co-housing, as well as food, support services, and education. It does all of these things and more with a caring and skilled staff and volunteers.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
over 16 years of involvement as a volunteer, as well as visits to the emergency shelter and co-housing units to talk with residents.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
The need is so great that the best change would be for FESCO to grow much larger to be able to house and serve many more families.
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of board members?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
Will you tell others about this organization?
How did you learn about this organization?
I was marginally involved in the early efforts to form the FESCO coalition in the mid-80s. About a decade later, I became a volunteer boardmember and have stayed involved ever since.
What is this organization's top short-term priority?
Raise more funds.
What is its top priority in the long run?
Obtain more secure sources of long-term funding such as endowments.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Review for FESCO, Hayward, CA, USA
I have been privileged to serve on FESCO's all-volunteer board of directors for the past 14 years. I have served as Board President and on several committees. In 1996 I created FESCO's original website and have been maintaining it over the years; look for FESCO at www.fescofamilyshelter.org.
More Feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
FESCO - the Family Shelter is unique among programs for the homeless in the Bay Area in that it provides emergency and transitional housing and support services for families with minor children -- including families with single-parent mothers or fathers.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Dedicated, hard-working, and capable.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Provide housing, food and support to many more of the homeless families in our area. FESCO's has always enabled families to work toward self-sufficiency and continues to support them when they do achieve that goal.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every week
