Meredith Nicholson was born in Crawfordsville, Ind., on Dec. 9, 1866, the son of Edward Willis and Emily Meredith Nicholson. The father was born in Kentucky, of a long line extending back to colonial days. Coming to Montgomery County, Ind., as a young man, Edward Nicholson soon became one of the substantial farmers of that county, a member of the Montgomery Guards, a Zouave company which became in the Civil War the nucleus of the Eleventh Indiana Infantry, commanded by Gen. Lew Wallace. At the end of three months' service Nicholson enlisted in the artillery, becoming captain of the Twenty-second Indiana Battery. He continued with his command until the close of the war, having been with Sherman on the march to the sea and having sighted and fired the first gun at the Battle of Shiloh.
The mother of Meredith Nicholson was born at Centerville, Ind., the daughter of an early settler there, Samuel Caldwell Meredith, one of the pioneer editors and publishers of that district. As a young woman during the Civil War, she gave effective services as a nurse in the South. Shortly after the close of the war, she and Capt. Nicholson were married and took up their residence in Crawfordsville, where their son (and his younger sister) were born. For a time during the war Capt. Nicholson had been assigned to detail duty in Indianapolis in the drilling of new batteries, so, in 1872, when young Meredith was about five years old, the family moved to the capital city, where they continued to reside until 1888, when Capt. Nicholson moved to Washington, D. C. His son, however, remained in Indianapolis, where he lived afterward, with the exception of the years spent in South and Central America with the State Department (1932-1942) and three years in Denver, Colo., in the late Nineties.
The background of the youthful Nicholson was thus set" the intense interest in the Civil War, due to the services and experiences of both of his parents, and the deep feeling for all that is characteristic of Hoosierdom and its inhabitants, their "folksy" qualities, sociable and companionable, the feeling for newspaper work, editorial and reportorial, which came down from his maternal grandfather, Samuel Meredith, and an appreciation of and respect for the pioneer spirit which went into the making of his native state of Indiana.
Of formal education he had no more than nine years in the Indianapolis public schools, leaving, when about fifteen, during his first year in high school. Then came a succession of jobs, always leading him nearer and nearer to his chosen work of writing. A brief spell as a clerk in a drug store and work in a printer's shop, where he learned the rudiments of the printer's trade plus a smattering of shorthand, a position as court reporter, then employment by a law firm followed. At the age of nineteen he commenced the study of law in the office of Dye and Fishback. Later he continued his studies under one of Indianapolis's outstanding lawyers of that day, William Wallace, brother of (ken. Lew Wallace.
It was during his days as a law student that Meredith Nicholson began to manifest his natural taste, using what spare time he could muster from his law books to begin his first serious efforts at writing. He had the usual success of the talented amateur: the local newspapers printed his efforts, but without pay. Before long, however, he became identified with newspaper work in Indianapolis. After a year on the INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL, in 1884, he became a valued and versatile member of the editorial staff of the INDIANAPOLIS NEWS, where he remained from 1885 to 1897. After a year in stock brokerage, a three-year residence in Denver, Colo., followed, during which period he was auditor and treasurer of a coal-mining corporation.
Returning to Indianapolis at the turn of the century, he began to devote his entire time to literary work. Outside of his various newspaper writings during the 1890's, only one published volume stood to his credit –a book of poems entitled Short Flights, published in 1891. But from 1900 on his published writings were issued with increasing frequency. In that year he published The Hoosiers, a volume of brief historical essays, about which he once remarked that it was his personal favorite of all of his writings and the one by which he expected to be longest remembered. In particular, his essay on the variously attributed origins of the term Hoosier remains the best account of the beginning of that much-disputed word.
Progress had been slow up to the point where Nicholson received his first real pay for any of his writings, the earliest being the very modest sum—even for those days–of three dollars given him by an Eastern newspaper for a poem. A bit later he won a prize of ten dollars offered by a Chicago newspaper for a short story. The story was "The Tale of a Postage Stamp." These small returns were a far cry from the returns of a quarter of a century later when his books numbered among the best sellers of their day. With The Main Chance and Zelda Dameron, he became one of the best known of American writers, even abroad, where his House of a Thousand Candles was published in Paris in a French translation and drew the enthusiastic approval of French critics. His success, as shown by the accompanying bibliography, was consistent up to the time that he retired as a writer in the 1930's, but it was as an essayist rather than as a novelist that he preferred to be known–perhaps because at heart he was an editorialist. With a profound belief in democracy, he spoke for self-government and tolerance: because he believed in people he was fundamentally an optimist.
Always in his writing–especially in his essays– Nicholson remained a Hoosier, a midlander, varying from the majority viewpoint only in his political attachment, and even in that he remained, although a Democrat, a Jeffersonian Democrat, which is an understandable faith, even to the most dyed-in-the-wool midwestern Republicans.
He kept up a constant and lively interest in politics. President Wilson offered him the post of minister to Portugal in 1913 but he refused. Later he served as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary from the U. S. to Paraguay (1933-34), Venezuela (1935-38), and Nicaragua (1938-41), when he retired to private life in Indianapolis. In his last years he contributed many articles–mainly essays and editorials on his favorite subject, the Hoosier scene with its people, its custom, its way of life–to the Indianapolis papers.
His lack of formal education after the first year of high school was more than compensated for by his own efforts. Filled with sincere regret that he had rejected the advice of his mother and had left school, he undertook, during his newspaper days, to make up for this deficiency by self-instruction in Latin and Greek as well as French and Italian, a knowledge of languages being considered in the 1880's as the mark of an educated man. Newspaper training showed in his handwriting, and even his personal notes and letters displayed the neat, small but legible handwriting, without indentation for paragraphs, which are merely indicated by the printer's sign, and they possess the same delightful style that endeared him to all reading Americans. His self-acquired knowledge of foreign languages contributed much to his writings in his mother tongue.
Both his literary attainments and his contributions to statesmanship were recognized with honorary degrees: from Wabash College, Butler University and Indiana University. He was also an honorary member of Phi Beta Kappa and a member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters.
On June 16, 1896, he married Eugenic Kountze, by whom he had three children, Elizabeth (Mrs. Austin H. Brown), Meredith, Jr., and Charles Lionel. Her death occurred in 1931, and he married Mrs. Dorothy Wolfe Lannon in 1933. They were divorced ten years later.
After his return from Nicaragua Mr. Nicholson resumed residence in Indianapolis, heart of the Hoosierland which he had done so much to publicize. The dean of Indiana litterateurs, he died in his eighty-first year on Dec. 22, 1947–still as ardent a Hoosier as might be found.

Sonata Arctica
Reckoning Night
The last time I heard a Sonata Arctica album, I thought it was going to be terrible. It started out with predictable melodies and melodramatic vocals about love and other boring topics that should never be in metal, if you can avoid it. But, about two tracks later, things picked up and it turned out to be an excellent album. However, with this album, Reckoning Night, almost the exact opposite thing happened. The album starts off great, with the trademark Sonata Arctica twinkling harpsichord keyboards and speedy guitars, but then almost immediately tapers off and becomes some rather generic power metal.
After the first track, "Misplaced", comes the song "Blinded No More", which wouldn't be all that bad of a song for a progressive metal band. It's a mid-paced song, sort of groove-oriented, and a catchy chorus, but it totally doesn't fit Sonata Arctica. In fact, with the use of strange instrumentation and weird bridge moments, it sounds more suited to Aryeon or Symphony X. This isn't to say that the song or any of those bands are bad; the fact of the matter is this and other songs seem awkward and out of place.
The album then goes right back into power metal with the track "Ain't Your Fairytale". Right after this song, there's a weird and pointless instrumental, immediately followed by another power metal track. It's this ebb and flow of crap and gold that ruins the album for me. There are great tracks that you'd think were going to be terrible, like "My Selene", then you have high expectations of the next song and it turns out to boring or weak. The song "Wildfire" has an annoying spoken intro that sounds like something out of Lord of the Rings; this confused me. To top it off, the album is closed out by a strange tribal drumming thing. If you're asking "what the hell?" at this point, so was I!
The frustrating nature of this album keeps me from giving it a good score. The guitar tone is pretty cool and it's always good for a band to attempt to push their boundaries, but it seems like they did strange things with this album just for the sake of being strange, not really pushing their song creation skills or instrumentation. I wouldn't recommend this album to anyone but the purest of power metal fans.

Russian President Vladimir Putin signaled acceptance of an accord reached by Cyprus on an international bailout, a week after berating an earlier rescue plan as "unfair, unprofessional and dangerous."
Putin today ordered the government to start talks with Cypriot authorities on restructuring a 2.5 billion-euro ($3.2 billion) loan granted by Russia in December 2011, the president's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said by phone.
"Considering the decisions taken by the Eurogroup, President Vladimir Putin deems it possible to back efforts by the Cypriot president, as well as the European Commission, aimed at overcoming the crisis in the island nation's economy and system of finance and banking," Peskov said.
Acquiescing to the terms of a rescue package brokered in late-night negotiations, Putin is tempering his indignation over a proposed penalty on Cypriot bank deposits as a result of a financial-industry overhaul. Cyprus agreed to the outlines of an aid package, paving the way for 10 billion euros of emergency loans to stave off the threat of default. Russian companies and individuals have an estimated $31 billion in Cyprus, according to Moody's Investors Service.
As part of the deal, the country's second-largest bank will be shuttered under pressure from a German-led bloc. The accord imposes losses that two European Union officials said would be no more than 40 percent on uninsured depositors at Bank of Cyprus Plc, the largest bank, which will take over the viable assets of Cyprus Popular Bank Pcl, the second biggest.
'More Clear'
"Russia is ready to restructure the loan as soon as the situation becomes more clear," Oleg Vyugin, chairman of MDM Bank in Moscow and a former head of Russia's financial markets watchdog, said by phone. "That seems to have happened."
The east Mediterranean nation has officially asked Russia to extend its 2.5 billion-euro loan by five years to 2021, the Nicosia-based Finance Ministry said Jan. 10. The euro area's third-smallest economy borrowed the funds in December 2011 and has also sought an additional 5 billion euros from Russia.
Russia turned away Cypriot Finance Minister Michael Sarris last week after failing to agree on concessions to ease terms of the loan or provide new assistance. Sarris told reporters in Brussels that Cyprus's relationship with Russia "is not over," even as it has been "disappointed" by a financial-industry overhaul that will lead to losses for Russian investors. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on March 22 that his country hadn't "shut the door" on further aid to Cyprus.
European governments including Germany have insisted that Russia bear some of the cost of rescuing Cyprus, arguing that Russian businesses were using the island to launder money.
'Carefully Monitoring'
"We are carefully monitoring the developing situation in Cyprus," Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov told reporters today. "We decided to wait for final decision to be take by the EU and Cyprus, and then we'll consider if there's a possibility or necessity for extending Russian assistance."
Cyprus's plans to tax uninsured deposits amounts to theft, Medvedev said, in a reprisal of a comment attributed to Vladimir Lenin, who used to to refer to Bolshevik expropriation of property belonging to the wealthy.
"They're continuing, I think, to plunder the loot," Medvedev said at a meeting outside Moscow today. Russia is assessing the implications of a deal announced today, he said.

Navarre High School resumed the 2012-2013 girls soccer season in a big way this week, with matches for varsity or junior varsity squads – or both – scheduled every school day.
The Lady Raiders played their first match after the holiday break on Thursday, Jan. 3, and tied Fort Walton Beach 1-1 on the Lady Vikings' home pitch.
(PHOTO: Mariah McKinny races a Fort Walton Beach player to the ball.)
The outcome doesn't reflect Navarre's dominant play. In the first half alone, the Raiders had no less than a dozen corner kicks and continually pressured the Viking defense. Several Raiders' shots bounced off the goalpost or rolled harmlessly past the entire goal mouth without a player to put the ball into the empty goal.
Although the Raiders dominated the game, they found themselves down by a goal at the 30-minute mark. The Raiders made their only mistake of the night when a Viking player was not picked up in the middle of the field about 30 yards in front of the goal. As the Raider defense collapsed on her, it left Viking Rachel Simmons open as she cut toward the right post. Simmons took the pass and shot quickly to the right side of the goal. Raider goalkeeper Julianna DeSalle did not have a play on the ball and the Vikings took a 1-0 lead.
The Raiders managed to tie the game 15 minutes into the second half, thanks to brilliant teamwork. Morgan Littlewood took a long free-kick that bounced high about 20 yards in front of the goal. Hannah Gullickson out-jumped defenders and headed the ball to the left side of the field. Hunter Moorer beat the Vikings to the ball and crossed a hard pass in front of the goal mouth to Jenny Fitzpatrick near the right goal post. Fitzpatrick buried a shot into the right side for the tying goal.
Moorer was an offensive force as she consistently beat the Viking defenders down the left side of the field. Her passes across the goal were perfectly executed.
"We were playing on artificial turf and it really affected the speed of the ball on the ground," Moorer said. "We were a little late getting to passes because the ball arrived much sooner than on turf."
The backside attackers were late getting to the passes until Fitzpatrick connected. Raider forwards Moorer, Fitzpatrick, Gullickson and Shelby Clark all helped to pressure the Viking defense, but too many times, they were attacking alone without support.
At midfield, Rylie Slaybaugh, Gabby Armstrong, Melia Gross and Jade Whitley played aggressively against the Vikings and controlled the middle of the field.
"We are really starting to gel in the midfield," Slaybaugh said. "This was one of our better games."
The defense of Littlewood, Bri Young, Haley Naker, Taylor Brown and Mariah McKinny also played well together. McKinny continues to distinguish herself with every game. Several times she made hard sliding tackles to stop a Viking attack. The freshman is playing like a well-seasoned veteran.
The Raiders' record was 6-6-4 overall and 5-1-1 in district play after the tie at Fort Walton Beach.
Navarre is playing its final games of the regular season this week. The Raiders' varsity was scheduled to host Choctawhatchee on Monday and Pensacola Catholic on Tuesday and to end its season with a match at West Florida on Friday, Jan. 11. Navarre will host the district tournament beginning Monday, Jan. 14, at Navarre High School and the Navarre Soccer Complex.
The jayvee was scheduled to play Fort Walton Beach at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 9, and at Choctawhatchee at 5 p.m. today, Thursday Jan. 10, and at West Florida at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow, Friday Jan. 11.

The MAX-FIP is a rugged and compact, tablet-inspired stand-alone display kit integrating the FIP-400B Fiber Inspection Probe and ConnectorMax2 analysis software, an optical power meter for power and loss testing, and a visual fault locator (VFL) to effectively test and troubleshoot any type of optical network. The MAX-FIP's bright, 7-inch touchscreen offers the best magnification level available from a portable probe display, and its eight-hour rechargeable Li-ion battery provides enough power to tackle a full day of inspection (e.g., FTTH cabinet installation). In addition, the MAX-FIP offers extensive data storage, enough for thousands of high-resolution inspection results.
"Customers are looking for easy-to-operate solutions that will save them time while ensuring optimal network performances," said Étienne Gagnon, EXFO's Vice-President, Physical Layer and Wireless Division. "The FIP-400B's auto-centering feature greatly reduces inspection time by eliminating the hassle associated with fiber-image centering, while its automatic analysis capability removes any risk of misinterpretation-leading to faster, more accurate and more consistent results."
This new FIP-400B family of USB inspection probes is compatible with any PC or laptop, the entire fleet of EXFO's FTB Ecosystem platforms, and the newly launched MaxTester 700B OTDR series. In addition, thanks to this new probe's advanced troubleshooting capabilities, operators can minimize the impact of bad/dirty connectors on their networks, thus eliminating one of the leading causes of failure.

Dykes told authorities that he had blankets and a heater in the bunker, and authorities have previously said the bunker -- built 4 feet underground -- has electricity.
Authorities did not say how they were communicating with Dykes.
Meanwhile, residents and business owners in Midland City put up blue, red and black ribbons in support of the boy and Poland. Blue and red are the local school colors, and black is in honor of the slain bus driver.
The U.S. Navy confirmed Monday that Dykes served in the military from 1964 to 1969.
Naval records list him as an aviation maintenance administrationman third-class who served with units based in California and Atsugi, Japan. The job entails clerical work related to aircraft and aircraft maintenance, according to the Navy's job description.
Neighbors and officials had described Dykes as a survivalist with "anti-government" views.
Even as the hostage situation continued Monday morning, plenty of police were on hand as schools in neighboring Ozark, Alabama, reopened for the first time since the incident began.
Dale County schools remained closed but were to reopen on Tuesday, the district said.
In Ozark, school officials decided to begin strictly enforcing a 15-foot safety zone around school buses required by state law. The law prohibits any unauthorized adults, including parents, from approaching within 15 feet of a school bus stop. If an unauthorized adult gets too close, bus drivers are supposed to close bus doors or drive away, if necessary, school officials said

Phoronix: Dance Around The Fire: X.Org XAA Is Burned
Prior to closing the merge window for X.Org Server 1.13, Keith Packard pulled Daniel Stone's latest patches, which have killed off XAA acceleration support for DDX drivers...
Kudos to the devs.
Nice to see the documentation improving, the code base being slimmed down with old deprecated stuff being removed.
What is next to get burned with fire (i.e. thrown out) ?
The XKB dependency
Haha, well played.
You don't have to build Xlib and Xt if you need them: they're in a totally separate tree.
Sadly, yes. We went through them all one-by-one a while ago and have already binned pretty much everything we could.
Sadly, not ever, no.
Depends on what people want to do. Personally I've almost entirely been working on Wayland for the past few months, but as you can see others are working on X too. And people are bound to create their own. Let's see what happens.


text: Christmas Tea at The Old Flynn Ranch,Missoula Montana was one of the big highlights for our family. In the hustle and bustle of people working with all different schedule and being unable to get together, it was a great fortunate that we were able to book the tea table,with the majority of my daughters attending. What a great drive up to this beautiful old brick architectural home. Upon entering, it was like stepping back into Victorian times.The room was very cozy, with the heat from the old belly stove , the elegant tea service on the beautiful embroidered table cloths, the elaborate real Christmas tree resting peacefully in the beautiful bay window, ornate portraits of the original owners hanging elegantly over the piano,the pleasant conversations from people sitting at the other tables. It brought a flood of conversations between my daughters and I, mainly how much similar the home reminded me so much of the sandstone home I lived in Scotland.The Tea was simply delicious,along with wonderful decorated sandwiches,oeurduves and delightful desserts. The hostess were always making sure our tea pot was kept filled. The lady of the house Maureen was so kind to let us know some history of the place, n permitting us to see the elegant rooms upstairs. It was one of the best relaxing nights that my daughters and I had. And the cost just a mere $10. The best! A big "THANK YOU" to all the family for opening this ornate home to the public. We hope to be back next year.!

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Nikon was one of the last big camera makers to offer a mirrorless model but when they finally announced the Nikon 1 system back in September, 2011, they attracted some controversy for adopting a new smaller sensor than rivals. Since then, they've done well to increase popularity of the system by expanding the range of lenses in a relatively short time frame. The 1 Nikkor 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 and the 18.5mm f/1.8 are two of the newest models from the firm. Read on to see how well they perform when mounted on the Nikon 1 V1 body. |

I fail to understand the scores...
As far as sharpness is concerned, the 18.5mm achieves 6 out of 10MP, the Sigma 12 out of 24. How could it achieve an higher point when it resolving only 50% of the sensor pixels?
Furthermore the Canon 300 and 400mm f/2.8 score extremely low in transmission. Of course they are no f/1.4 lenses, but they are no 50mm either...What about weighting the values? A 400mm with T=3.1 should score much more than a 50mm with T=1.7, in my opinion. Reply |

Pamela Anderson Debuts Brunette Look
Sarah Flanigan at omg!2 days agoPamela Anderson stepped out at an art gallery event in Miami on Thursday night, and it seems she's gone to the dark side!
The former "Baywatch" star debuted a new brunette 'do, and we have to admit, she's almost unrecognizable from the platinum blonde we used to know.
The 46-year-old recently chopped off her long locks for an adorable pixie cut, but now with the darker shade, her look is quite different from how it was in her days running in slow motion on the beach.
Check out this video to see her new 'do, and be sure to tune in to "omg! Insider" on TV tonight for all the latest in entertainment news.
Joey Fatone's Losing His Hair, But Gaining a Gig
Sarah Flanigan at omg!2 days agoIt's official: The 'N Sync resurrection didn't stop when the boy banders left the stage during Justin Timberlake's epic performance at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this year.
No, they're not getting back together again — it seems that ship has sailed again — but they are getting new gigs. Like Joey Fatone, for instance. He just got a plush new role talking about his hair … or lack thereof.
Fatone is starring in a new Bosley hair transplant campaign, and showing what the top of his head looked like before he got a little help.
"Performing in front of a live audience can be pretty intimidating, so having a full head of hair was important to me," the 36-year-old singer said in a press release for the company. "Back then, I was the only one in the group getting thinner on top. I became self-conscious and started wearing hats more often."
So that explains it!
Check out the video to see Joey's before and after look, and be sure to tune in to "omg! Insider" on TV tonight for all the latest in entertainment news.
Stevie Nicks Reveals Her Emotional Connection to Lea Michele
Sarah Flanigan at omg!3 days agoFleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks was on the set of "Glee" for only two days in 2011 but created a deep bond with the cast during her brief time there. That bond grew even stronger after Cory Monteith passed away from a drug overdose in July.
"I made a real serious connection with all of them," she said. "And when Cory died I was devastated and I wrote a letter to the cast and I wrote to Lea and I sent her a bunch of stuff and I really tried to help."
The singer has a new documentary, "In Your Dreams," in stores now and revealed to "omg! Insider" correspondent Keltie Knight on Wednesday that she did her best to help Lea Michele get through the tough time because she, too, had recently lost a loved one due to an overdose.
"I had lost a godson to an overdose of Xanax and alcohol at a frat party at the end of 2011. That was heavily on my mind," Stevie revealed. "It's all an accident, a bad accident."
Check out this video to see what other thoughtful advice Stevie gave to help the "Glee" star, and be sure to tune in to "omg! Insider" on TV tonight for more of Stevie's interview.
The Real Reason Richie Sambora Left Bon Jovi's 'Because We Can' Tour
Sarah Flanigan at omg!3 days agoRumors about Richie Sambora parting ways with Bon Jovi began swirling after he left the band on their current "Because We Can" tour earlier this year. Now, the rocker is revealing the truth behind his departure.
"30 years on the road, man — I just needed to be," the 54-year-old tells "omg! Insider." "You miss so much. I mean, it's 24/7. You don't get to go home. I just needed a break."
A single dad to daughter Ava (her mom is his ex-wife Heather Locklear), who recently celebrated her sweet 16, Sambora says he made his decision with the teen in mind.
"I really wanted to spend time with my daughter," he says. "Because now she's driving. She's 16 and now she's mobile. She doesn't need dad so much anymore."
How Many Times Has Keira Knightley Worn Her Wedding Dress?
Sarah Flanigan at omg!4 days agoIt's rare enough that celebrities ever step out in the same dress twice, but apparently Keira Knightley isn't shy about recycling her fashion — especially when it comes to her wedding dress! The 28-year-old actress stepped out at the Serious Fun London Gala Tuesday night in a gorgeous light pink Chanel Haute Couture number, but it wasn't the first time we've seen it; the brunette beauty actually donned the lovely gown to marry her sweetheart, musician James Righton, in the South of France back in May.
But Keira's actually three times a lady when it comes to the frilly frock. After all, if you think wearing your wedding dress after you get hitched is awesome, how about wearing that same gown years before the big day? Like, say, back in 2008?
Check out this video to see how Keira accessorized the dress each time, and be sure to tune in to "omg! Insider" on TV tonight for all the latest in entertainment news.
Who Was Really Kissing Chris Hemsworth in 'Thor: The Dark World'?
Sarah Flanigan at omg!5 days agoNatalie Portman stars alongside Chris Hemsworth in "Thor: The Dark World," and the two have many scenes together throughout the film, but remember that steamy love scene between them in the end credits?
As it turns out, the scene wasn't actually between the co-stars, and Natalie wasn't really the lucky lady smooching it up with the hunky Australian!
The Oscar-winning actress revealed to the New York Daily News that it was really his wife, Elsa Pataky, who was the one puckering up for the big screen in the credits.
"It was for reshoots (after the film was finished) and he was working in Hong Kong and I couldn't get there because I was working on my own film," said Natalie. "And so they put his wife in my wig and costume, that's why it was so passionate. It was such a perfect solution, wasn't it..." she told the mag.
Check out this video to see the steamy smooch, and be sure to tune in to "omg! Insider" on TV tonight for all the latest in entertainment news.
Why George Clooney May Not Be Able to Find 'the One'
Sarah Flanigan at omg!6 days agoGeorge Clooney has had his fair share of Hollywood romances. Judging by his former girlfriends Stacy Keibler and Elisabetta Canalis, it's pretty clear that the hunky actor knows how to attract beautiful women. But one thing he hasn't managed to nab just yet is "the one."
[See photos from Clooney's W shoot]
The 52-year-old is on the cover of W magazine's eighth annual art issue, on stands nationwide Dec. 9th, and reveals whether or not he has found the woman he would like to spend the rest of his life with. "I haven't met her yet," he said.
[Check out the full interview]
While it might seem like there's still hope out there for all the ladies in the world, judging by his next response, it seems as if filling the role of Mrs. George Clooney is going to be much harder than one might think, mainly because his dream women are movie actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Britney Spears Is on Fire Personally and Professionally
Sarah Flanigan at omg!6 days agoHappy Birthday, Britney! The superstar singer is celebrating her 32nd birthday on Monday, and she's turning a year older in red-hot style … literally!
The blond beauty posted a sexy shot on her Facebook page late Sunday night, showing off her smoking-hot bod and looking like she's doing better than ever!
Dressed in a red-hot sequined corset surrounded by flames with the famous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign in the background, she's clearly doing well both personally and professionally.
Not only does the doting mom of two have her phenomenal figure perfectly in shape, but she also appears to be happier than ever in her relationship with boyfriend David Lucado.
And while her love life may be on fire, it turns out that her career is even hotter!
The blond bombshell has a new album, "Britney Jean," set for release on Tuesday, and she is currently prepping for her "Piece of Me" residency at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas beginning on December 27 — we can't wait!
Check out this video to see Brit's steamy snapshot, and be sure to tune in to "omg! Insider" on TV tonight for more of the latest in entertainment news!
Paul Walker's Biggest Loves … Aside From Acting
Sarah Flanigan at omg!6 days agoWhen Paul Walker tragically died in a fiery car crash on Saturday, it shocked his fans across the globe, but his life and legacy will certainly never be forgotten. The actor, best known for his starring role in the hit franchise "The Fast & the Furious" had many other passions off-screen, including his 15-year-old daughter Meadow Rose.
The 40-year-old single dad gushed to Parade about his daughter in 2009, saying, "I think my mom said it best. She said, 'little girls soften their daddy's hearts.'" Meadow recently moved in with him full-time in California after living with her mother, Rebecca, in Hawaii for most of her life, something Paul told Entertainment Weekly about in March.

100 Ways to be Greener
Low-Impact Laundry
by Starre Vartan
That laundry basket fills up fast. But washing dirty clothes and linens uses tons of water and power, and most dry cleaners include toxic chemicals. Follow these tips to help keep the planet as tidy — and abundant! — as your wardrobe.
Lighten the Load
Why: Washing machines can use as many as 40 gallons of water per load, and a typical clothes dryer produces more than 1,400 pounds of CO2 each year (from the electricity used to run it and heat the water).
What to do: Cut back on the number of loads you wash by spot-cleaning and hand-washing your garments. Use cold water washes unless clothing is super-dirty- most clothes don't need a warm water wash. Besides conserving resources, it makes your clothes last longer and colors stay darker. Make sure to always choose the appropriate wash size. Some new models of washers automatically adjust, but if yours doesn't, use the knob that indicates whether a wash is small, medium or large.
Be Soap-Smart
Why: Most detergents contain phosphates, which can cause overgrowth of algae in water, and is harmful to aquatic life. Many also contain synthetic fragrances and chemicals that are not biodegradable. Chlorine bleaches and some fabric softeners contain toxins, too. Even if your town or city processes wastewater most of these chemicals persist though the filtration process and end up in our water supplies.
What to do: Buy plant-based or castile soaps for laundry, and opt for fragrance-free detergents. Detergents with phosphates in them will say so on the bottle. Baby shampoo works well for hand-washing. Try treating stains with lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide or white vinegar before you wash. Get rid of fabric softeners, which are totally unnecessary and pollute local air (really- a study showed asthma is exacerbated by fabric softeners and dryer sheets). A few companies like Ecover and Seventh Generation make all-natural spot cleaners and fabric softeners if you must use them.
When it comes to drying, use a rack next to your washer for socks, undies, polyester 'sport' fabrics, and thin cotton fabrics, so you can cut down on your dryer time. Even better; use a clothes line to naturally freshen your clothes and dry them for free. Bonus: Hanging up clothes on a line is a good workout!
Try a New Dry
Why: "A lot of dry cleaners use chemicals with some type of by-product that uses a bleaching solvent, which is harmful and also bad for the clothing," says Bob Smerling, owner of Brentwood Royal Cleaners in Santa Monica, who uses only environmentally-friendly methods and cleaning agents. Conventional cleaners also use perchloroethylene (perc), a chlorinated solvent that accumulates in body fat and is recognized as a possible human carcinogen.
What to do and where to go: If you have a garment that simply can't be hand-washed or washed on the delicate cycle and hung dry, find a dry cleaner that uses carbon dioxide (CO2), Green Earth solvent or other hydrocarbon cleaners. If you had something dry-cleaned the traditional way, take the garment out of its bag and hang it outdoors to reduce the amount of perc vapor you bring into your home.
And always save your dry-cleaning bags, clips and hangars to bring back and reuse next time. Why pile onto a landfill?

Exclusive Cast Interview Daniel Craig talks about doing things differently and making the Bond film he always wanted to make while Javier Bardem chats about what drew him to play the villain and Bond Girls compare their scenes with 007. When Can I Watch James Bond Movies With My Kids? Sexual innuendos. Shaken martinis. A license to kill. At first glance, the staples of Sir Ian Fleming's lethal literary creation don't seem suitable for kids. However, there's a campy side to the long-running film series. But where do you start and at what age, if at all? More Films on Fandango's Awards Watch

Inhofe supports House version of NDAA bill
Sen. Jim Inhofe shared his thoughts about the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Tuesday at the State Republican Headquarters in Oklahoma City.
Inhofe responded to an audience member's assertion that the NDAA allows the president to act as a dictator by snatching citizens off the street and detaining them without due process.
"I don't believe it," Inhofe said. "…He asked a question and I'm disagreeing with him because something is happening right now and we have to have an NDAA."
There has always been a reason to oppose an NDAA bill, Inhofe said. The reason this time is that Republicans have said there will not be an NDAA bill unless it includes amendments for the National Security Council as well as Iran sanctions, Inhofe said. - More Nation & World Headlines

One thing I like to do is play engine tournaments with some of the strongest free engines out there. Often times my engines dont have books, and just calculate from move 1. Often times I see them play the mov e below. It looks terrible to me, so my question is, why would they play it?
over protecting the e5 pawn, though there are better ways of doing this, aka d6, or simply ignoring the threat and playing a mainline
because to make computers weak they are forced to play a move within a certain time limit. It is not a good move but its not immediately losing either. When I face this of wacky move I tend to 1) respect it 2) not try to be fancy 3) after the game see what good players do as both sides.
Below are a few games. Seems Black has some big problems in dealing with a central advance. The karpov game was a simul so its not as serious but a good indication of problems
I've seen this as well. I usually respond with a zerg swarm on the Kingside.
parham is better?
anyways, thanks to the "serious" people for the input. When I first saw this by a weak version of Crafty, I wrote it off, but I'm seeing it with many strong engines
hm i have a reason... the parham is just plain bad while the Ruy Lopez is good.
The parham looses tempo, develops the queen way to early, and allows black to have an easy time developing, though it was played by Nakamura, he no longer uses it. Also The Ruy is proven sound, and the number one way to avoid theory is to simply just play an uncommon move.
Just because one master plays an opening a few times doesn't mean its good. I don't see him springing it in an actualy tournament. I bet he would never dream over playing that in the Tal Memorial, Londen Classic, or WC Candidate's matches
yes but for whatups, there is no key to becoming gm except hard work.
any I would play 3. ...f5 in the Ruy
actually whatupydog, you are an amateur. dont want to sound rude or anything, but you arent good until you reach 2200
It's not one master, is freaking Nakamura. He's the best American chess player. He managed to draw with other masters, so obviously the move isn't busted. For amateurs like us, I find it fun to attack with.
It's because he's a good player that he can get away with 2.Qh5.
It's the same reason that Miles got away with 1...a6.
It has nothing to do with the opening.
but u r not titled are you? if you are 2200 in the real world that means you are titled, which you are not
would someone please post some conrete lines in which white is better? blunder free i might add (besides the 2.Qh5 blunder)
Oh no...
@jetfighter die-hard parham fans would play 3.Bc4 in your Nc6 line
5...Bd6 6.e5 GG.
5...d5 is better.
here is my take on the parham
In my database I have Nakamura playing it twice: one loss, one draw. If I ever need an opening to score 25% with White, I'll know just where to find it.
He also played 1.e4 c5 2.Qh5 against a grandmaster once and lost in 23 moves--as White!
I have five games he played in 2005. His record is 1-2-2. Most of the games are against players at around 2400 and the other was played against a 2600 (a loss only after 87 moves!). In the game he did win he really had to outplay his opponent.

Perhaps the most curious thing about the poem of Les ingénus is the ultimate confusion between singular and plural. Until the final line, the male watchers and the ladies with flashing heels and white necks have been a corporate bodypossibly one of those discreetly erotic encounters painted by Watteau. But with the words Que notre âme (singular) depuis ce temps tremble et sétonne confusion is sown. Do all the male watchers share a single soul? Or is the poet the only one afflicted with trembling and astonishment? Or is the plural, as applied to the watchers, merely a poetic device, as it were a royal plural, obscuring the fact that the poet has been the only watcher of these tempting damsels? This might seem a far-fetched point, were it not that it is precisely on the words Que notre that Debussy for the first time stills the regular movement of semiquavers, allowing the words to be heard unhindered. Whatever the truth, the title (The Innocents), being masculine, applies to the watcher(s), so that Verlaine seems to be warning against womens wiles. A suitable sentiment to set before ones new mistress?
Le faune is hardly more enticing. The unhappy sequel to these moments of calm predicted by the faun turned out to be all too real since, although Debussys second marriage lasted, there was many a stormy moment; and was Emma happy to be addressed as a melancholy pilgrim? After a brief descending figure, to be played like a flute, a two-note ostinato taps its way throughout the song, impervious to the harmonies above it. The astonishingly dissonant final chord delineates no firm key, as the song delivers no firm message. We even have to wait till the final word to find out that all this time the ostinato has represented the sound of tambourines. This may be one of the lamentable genre of song about which Chabrier complained so bitterly, but certainly were a long way here from sloppy evocations of April and May.
Finally Colloque sentimental, Debussys last Verlaine song, has specific and depressing things to say about love and its possible outcomes. If the two-note ostinato in Le faune represented fate through the mediation of the mandolin, in the central section here the unrelenting A flats have no material connotation; they are an immovable psychological rock (the unloving ghosts obduracy? the unloved ghosts bleak future?) upon which a whole armoury of chromatic chords breaks in vain. Equally impotent to move the A flat are the five reminiscences of the nightingales song from the first song of the first set of Fêtes galantes, En sourdine, where the song is identified as voice of our despair. Or are these reminiscences of despair in league with the A flat? The nightingale is heard again in the narrators brief coda. For all the songs crepuscular tone, it is only with the words Et la nuit seule that we know for sure this is a night sceneand it is precisely on these words that the nightingale begins its final song, night here representing not Tristanesque passion but emptiness and, effectively, death. Emma Bardacs response to the dedication of this cycle is not recorded.

Hofstra Marks Domestic Violence Awareness Month
A Self Defense Seminar, Artistic Expression Workshop, Open Mic Night and Love Presentation
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY – Hofstra University's Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a month devoted to raising awareness of domestic violence, features an open mic night, a self defense seminar, a presentation on the impact of media and society on domestic violence and masculinity and an artistic expression workshop.
"Domestic abuse can happen to anyone, anywhere, in any part of the world," said Sandra Johnson, Vice President of Student Affairs. "It is our responsibility as citizens to understand these issues and to strive towards the elimination of domestic violence in our community."
Domestic Violence Awareness Month was created in October of 1981 by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The objective was to connect battered women's advocates across nations who were working to end violence against women and their children. Throughout the month there are a variety of events at numerous locations but a common theme that is honored at every event is: "Mourning those who have died because of domestic violence, celebrating those who have survived, and connecting those who work to end violence."
