Post 1
Started conversation Feb 4, 2013
I go running along side rivers and, last Saturday, looking at the kyakers in the Cam, I thought "rather out than in". As I ran past (I had a stiff breeze behind me and they had a stiff current against them), I peered at their paddle tips, tried to estimate their stability score between 1 and 9 and realised I now know something about the equipment and work involved!
On the other hand, they looked as if they were having fun in a group, presumably travelling up from Ely to Cambridge. It was sunny and there were quite a lot of them. Between the fishermen (all men), rowing eights (the fit young things in Lycra from the university were practising bumps) and the sunshine it looked as if, come summer, it would be the most funnest hobby in the world.
With a few friends, family etc I can see some lovely picnics being on your horizon come June.

Thanks very much for your thoughts. I've come to terms with the realisation that I've had to put my race entry onto the back burner for this year. I'm still pushing the boat out but not with quite so much urgency at the moment. It has been a lot of fun, even though sometimes it didn't feel like it. Right now I'm looking forward to the summer and hoping to get a much sounder fitness than I have at the moment as a basis for another try next year.
I'm really quite disappointed in myself for not seeing it through this year. Obviously not the 'right stuff', as a year's practice should have been enough. But I didn't plan it out well enough and didn't do the right things. So it's not just the weather, although it didn't help much.
It's been quite a pleasure writing this blog. I've never written to a deadline before and at times it's been quite a challenge. It's also one of the things that at times, has kept me going out. that and the encouragement I've received from all those of you that have left your comments.
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.

What I have appreciated about this series was the vivid way you shared your experience.
I know it was important to you to make progress - but frankly, win or lose, the thing we readers take away is the sense of what it's like. I think it's what we do best at the Post - all of you writers - that you take us with you where you go.
Many thanks for that!

But you did see it through!
Dunno - but I have been involved in semi-pro sport (plus juniors, amateurs etc) over the years and there is a huge difference between "seeing it through" and working out how long your pre-season will have to be to work at a certain level.
If you continue through the summer to get skills and fitness together (for me, skills would be more fun to work on when it is warm) then you can bring it together and peak in 14 months time. Also kyaking in summer with friends joining you at various points with elderflower cordlial and smiles for 25 mile end-point riverside picnics will get those km's up with a smile!

Postponed, not cancelled.
I'm certainly looking forward to more longer runs during the summer, and hopefully a lot better weather to do it in. No matter what, it must at least be warmer.
The club I belong to styles themselves as a 'Touring' club, which means their week-end runs are usually around ten to fifteen miles. Far more than I can manage at the moment without slowing them all down, although few of them seem to be doing much at the moment. But to get up to that sort of distance would be a good step forward. I'm looking forward to it.

Posted Feb 18, 2013
Hmmm, just re-read my comment. Don't post late at night I remind myself.
I intended to say almost the opposite of what I wrote: "seeing it through" can mean getting a long pre-season together that means you miss your first competition but you eventually do the race without getting injured or causing others grief.
I s'pose the other thought is that this is a fairly skilled Olympic sport and trying to master it both technically and for fitness is not trivial. And the weather this winter has been miserable.

Posted Feb 19, 2013
I do indeed intend to see it through and I'm now aiming at next year's event instead.
I made the mistake of seriously underestimating how long it would take to get to grips with the paddling technique. I thought that a year would be more than enough, but the old law of old dogs, new tricks applies Really I still haven't got it nailed yet as my speed on the water is so slow. I used to do a fairly considerable amount of running but that seemed 'easy' compared to this.
I take heart from the fact that the speed was improving a little, and that I even got a tentative inquiry whether I wanted to team up with another guy to do the 'overnight' race. I was really tempted by that, but sanity prevailed. If the offer is still on for next year though...
There is another award course run by our club in April that I'm trying to get on which would be a good way of launching the summer campaign for speed and fitness. I almost make the qualifying criteria but need to up the endurance a bit, which I think I can make for April. We'll see.

Gaming in 3D is Nothing Short of Amazing
Technology today is ever changing, fast evolving and perennially growing. From the days of Playstation1 (PS1) to PS 3 today gaming has come a long way. Imagine sitting with your console swaying from side to side as your partner's car is winning the race and you just have to take a very difficult turn without crashing it. Now, imagine being in that car and guiding it through that turn even as the adrenaline pumps through your body. That's the beauty of games 3D style.
What is Stereo 3D?
Stereo 3D visual difference is the use of people's eyes and optical refraction in a plane so that people can directly see a three-dimensional figure, painting things outside of either protruding from the screen, which can gives people a strong visual impact. It is essentially different from the image plane. Image plane that reflect the object up and down, around two-dimensional relationship, people see the floor plan has three-dimensional. This is mainly the use of light and shadow, the actual situation, to reflect the light and dark contrast, but the real draw is the simulation of three-dimensional world of the human eye works, optical refraction produced, it can make the eyes see and feel the object up and down, left, before and after the three-dimensional relationship.
CryptHex… 3D-polygon
"CryptHex" game can be very attractive for all the players that are fond of Rubik's Cube games. In this little free online puzzle game you'll find everything you need and even more! Even if the concept of the game reminds principles of Rubik's Cube game, CryptHex is just a variation but not a cube, it's a 3D-polygon. That can be even more exciting and interesting!
In this nice puzzle game you have to change the amount of rows. Your main goal is to align similar colors in one row within all it's length. You should complete your CryptHex as fast as possible to win this game. And don't think it's too easy!

Tonight I was feeding my 1 year old daughter at the table in her high chair. Her grand parents and aunt were there eating with us. She was having a fabulous time laughing and getting all messy with her mash potatoes and then a spoon full of cool whip. Then all of the sudden she spits it all up! AH! She starts screaming and just has an awful time (who wouldn't right?) I just can't help feeling awful about her spitting up all her food. I know babies do this and she has done it before when eating mash potatoes. Does anyone have any advice on how I can get over this horrible feeling I have of guilt?
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win" -Mahatma Gandhi
Um.... why do you feel guilty?
DS spit up peas once and started coughing and crying. I felt really bad for him and loved on him a lot but there's not much you can do. You shouldn't feel guilty, it happens.
Dirk & Amy 9.18.04 Aaron 3.20.07 Sydney and Elle 5.15.09
Don't feel guilty. My kid quite frequently gags and pukes large amounts of solids. It's not like I'm giving her huge pieces or anything, but it takes time to learn to chew, move food to the back of the mouth and swallow without gagging. Don't stress it - totally normal and I bet your DC didn't even remember it happened 1/2 hr later.
Thanks you all for the messages. She was a very happy baby today! Made me feel sooo much better.

Brockovich Meets Fishermen and Business Owners Affected by Oil Spill
Erin Brockovich and Weitz & Luxenberg Lawyers to Host Meeting In Pensacola, Florida on Gulf
Brockovich offers help for fishermen and businesses affected by the BP Gulf oil spill
WHO: Environmental advocates Erin Brockovich and Carol Moore and Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. and Levin, Papantonio, Thomas, Mitchell, Echsner, Rafferty & Proctor, P.A. lawyers discuss the Gulf oil spill
WHAT: Our firms invite residents of Pensacola, Florida, as well as those in surrounding areas, to attend a special meeting with Erin Brockovich, Carol Moore and our environmental lawyers.
WHEN: Thursday, May 20, 2010, 6 p.m.
WHERE: Saenger Theatre, 118 North Palafox Street, Downtown Pensacola, Florida
WHY: To meet with those who have been impacted by the British Petroleum Deepwater Horizon oil spill and its aftermath, answer questions, lend support, and help people understand their rights.
Weitz & Luxenberg, invited by the law firm of Levin, Papantonio, Thomas, Mitchell, Echsner, Rafferty & Proctor, P.A. has joined together with noted environmental advocates Erin Brockovich and Carol Moore to help those impacted by the epic BP oil spill—4 million gallons and counting—in the Gulf of Mexico. An explosion on April 20, 2010, killed 11 workers, and sank the offshore drilling rig Deepwater Horizon, setting in motion the unfolding disaster.
Brockovich and Moore are traveling to Gulf States, including Florida, Alabama and Mississippi, to meet with the people impacted by the spill and to discuss with them how they have been affected and will be impacted in the future.
"I would like to tell the local commercial fishermen who aren't able to earn a living, and other business owners, 'You have rights and we can help.'" said Brockovich.
Weitz & Luxenberg and Levin Papantonio, together with a consortium of law firms, has filed lawsuits in response to the BP oil spill. The class action cases which were filed against BP, Halliburton, Cameron and other parties, seek to recover damages suffered by clients as a result of the Gulf oil spill.
Robin Greenwald, head of the Environmental & Toxic Torts unit of Weitz & Luxenberg said, "Beyond the millions of gallons already spilled, this is an ongoing race against time to try to stanch the oil gushing from the well. The rig explosion and failure to control the oil slick is devastating wildlife, fisheries, tourism and everyday living along the Gulf Coast."
Fishermen and business owners, and others affected by the oil spill may discuss their situation with our lawyers and get a free legal review by completing the form on this page.

GC 2008: Shaun White Snowboarding Preview Written Sunday, September 21, 2008 By Dan Webb View author's profile | |
Welcome to the "snowboard experience" which Shaun White's Snowboarding's animation director, Scott Mitchell likes to call it. It's a title that not only has had tonnes of input from Shaun White himself but from his pro-snowboarding brother, Jessie White too. And the best thing is? We don't have to waggle our ass round on some plastic phonebook in our living room to enjoy it either. We can pick up a controller and enjoy it like gaming should be done ... on our asses, sat back in our comfy seats! Shaun White's Snowboarding takes advantage of the Assassin's Creed engine in more than one respect and instead of walking around in the mist during loading screens, you are thrown in to a half pipe to keep you amused. The game is essentially a snowboarding sandbox title and from the beginning, all four available mountains are open to you (Alaska, Park City, Japan and Europe). Each of these mountains has three areas which differ in nature. If you're boarding at the top, or the "peak" as they call it, be careful as there will be plenty of crevices, avalanches and steep runs. Moving down slightly, you'll have the "back country" which will be less dangerous and you'll find plenty of trees and powder snow. And down a hell of a lot more, you'll have the "resort" and this is every snowboarding junkie's heaven with jumps and parks galore. Customisation seemed to be a big trend at this year's Games Convention with Shaun White's title being no different. The customisation system allowed you to pretty much change everything on your boarder, ranging from your face, hats, gloves and right the way down to your clothes, binding, boots and boards. Everything! And the game even features a load of genuine sponsored equipment too with Oakley, Burton and Spy all getting in on the act. Hell, you can even customise your music so you have the perfect soundtrack. A great addition to the Shaun White title that is not present in most snowboarding titles to date is most definitely the ability to step out the board's bindings and walk wherever they want. I can hear people questioning my judgement now, saying "why the hell do you want to walk in a boarding game!!??"... Seriously, have you ever tried to walk ten foot up a mountain on a board just to get to a marker or mission? It's simply annoying, and so the age old problem of boarding slightly past your marker and having to go to the top to get back to it in snowboarding games has been eradicated. The game offers several different viewpoints even offering the player the first person perspective in case they really want to step in to the action, something that Shaun was quite adamant on having in but this was a work in progress. Other views include one far back, a helicopter view and it must be mentioned that these are all dynamic and respond to how you board rather than keep it statically behind you. When it comes to moving about the mountain, players can choose 1 of 2 main methods; the helicopter drop or my personal favourite, the ski lift which allows you to jump off wherever on the run they wish. Any actual snowboarders out there will realise that this isn't allowed on genuine ski lifts usually so I'm really keen to do that in-game. The multiplayer though looks like its shining light and at the moment they have it working on 16 players but are hoping on 32. If you want, you can grab a pack of friends and just board down from the top of the mountain whichever way you want. Want to throw a couple of cheeky snowballs? Fine, do it, but you'll get a few back. Of course, for the competitive player in all of us, there are plenty of game modes from death races where combat is encouraged, genuine races (snowballs not allowed!) as well as, my personal favourite, the avalanche races where you simply must ride the waves and stop yourself from becoming a victim. All in all, Shaun White's Snowboarding does truly look like the "snowboarding experience" and while it may not appeal to most fans of all genres, it most certainly will appeal to snowboarding junkies worldwide and will give you a good fix till you actually go out and get your board wedged in the snow... Or in a big ass fir tree like me. Shaun White's Snowboarding will be available towards the end of the year on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. |

Our Story
500 years before the present day, Earth was rained upon by destructive meteorites. The meteor shower was like none that had ever been recorded. Some meteorites were large enough to wipe out entire cities. Humanity survived. This is the story of the Aether Dancer, a transport airship, and her crew in this brave new world.
We are a small band of independent filmmakers, producers, designers, and artists, trying to make a fantastic story idea into a TV pilot. The Teaser trailer was made possible by a previous fund raising campaign on IndieGoGo with the help of fans like you!
We have talented actors and actresses already involved in the series who want to bring you the best Steampunk Webseries starring Claudia Christian that will ever be filmed!
If you're a fan of swashbuckling, daring adventures, and narrow escapes, this is the webseries for you!
The Cast includes: Claudia Christian (Captain Katheryn MacIntyre)
Luke Marty (Lord Darvin Phelps)
Added June 24:
Kassandra Santos (Dr. Lyndon)
And an absolutely amazing soundtrack being put together with awesome bands such as:
The Deadly Nightshade Botanical Society
Professor Elemental
Veronique Chevalier
Darwin Prophet
BB Blackdog
Vernian Process
Victor Sierra
Montague Jacques Fromage
And many others!
With an original score by Attrition!
Also, the Aether Dancer will be an open concept idea. You will be able to (as fans) film your own segments and send them in to us and we'll post them as part of the story. The only thing we ask is that you stick within the framework of the world and the rules that we have created.
We will go out of our way to help you with your character and work what you have created into the story.
So, will you be an Aristocrat from the Central Kingdom? A Doctor or Scientist from Lachesis, Perhaps you're a tinkerer or engineer from or even a mysterious traveler from Ma'at?
Do you already have a steampunk personae or airship and you wanted them to be a part of a larger world and community? Here's your chance!
You will have the opportunity to be all that and more... but what we need first is your help.
The Impact
The next phase of our production will cost $100,000 and we would like to get it underway some time in 2012.
It's time to tell the studio execs that something like this is not only possible, but necessary. A series by the people for the people that can turn heads and get people interested that isn't relying on schedules and seeing how many viewers there are so it would be canceled mid-season (like some series that shant be mentioned) without a chance to finish off their stories.
What We Need & What You Get
What we're looking to do is raise $100,000 for the production of the Aether Dancer Series. All the money donated will go towards production, locations, and pay for the cast and crew. As always if we don't hit the goal, we cannot provide the prize packs, but fear not, if we DO hit the goal, we will honor our past agreements as well!
What you get is an entry into a draw to win an Aether Dancer prize pack, which will include a DVD copy of the pilot episode (director's cut of course) an Aether Dancer t-shirt, and several other goodies signed by the cast and crew.
Every time you enter, is a new chance to win. If you enter once, that's one, if you donate twice, that's two entries.
Example, if you donate $2 twice, you get 2 entries into the draw, the more you donate, the more chances you have of winning.
Also, as we recently announced, at a donation of $20 or more, you will recieve {once funding is achieved} a coupon code for 10% off everything at http://www.steampunkedout.com/ Steampunked Out! (except footware)
Just another way that fans have pitched in to help make the Aether Dancer a success!
Other Ways You Can Help
Help us get the word out... by telling everyone on facebook, twitter, myspace, e-mail, two tin cans tied together with string, smoke signals, any way you can!
You can 'like' us on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Aether-Dancer/215...

Update June 24, added BB Blackdog and Kassandra Santos to the bands and cast respectively.

And that includes games, apparently. The UK retailer went into administration last week, and has now announced its "Biggest Ever Sale".
Administrator Deloitte told MCV in a statement:
"We anticipate increased footfall in the stores and have hired additional staff to cope with increased demand. Additional goods have been moved to all stores and further stock will be added in the coming days.
"There is continuing interest in the core Woolworths business and the Sale will continue whilst potential buyers finalise their plans for the purchase of the business."

A PS3 consumes 500% more power than a medium-sized fridge
Hilarious. According to this Intology report, running a PS3 for a year costs five times as much as running an average-sized fridge.
Australian consumer group Choice found that a 12 cu. ft. volume fridge costs $50 to run for a year, while a PS3 costs $250 per year even if it's just switched on and not used.
The sound you're hearing is the roar of the world's oil and coal reserves evaporating in God's holy fire.

Thirsk Mead Hall
Talk0this wiki
Thirsk Mead Hall | |
Map | |
Type | Settlement |
- Not to be confused with Thirsk.
Thirsk Mead Hall is a grand hall on the banks of Lake Fjalding that once served as a home and hunting lodge to a clan of Nord warriors. The mead hall is just east of the Beast Stone.
The book Thirsk, a Revised History describes the founding of the Mead Hall. The following is a summary.
Roughly a hundred years, before the books publication (probably sometime around 3E 320, seeing as the book first appears in Bloodmoon), a small group of Solstheim's Skaal decided to break away from their brethren and live independently. They looked for a new location to settle, and found Lake Fjalding after migrating some distance south. Construction began, and after roughly a month, the new Mead Hall was completed, also serving as a hunting lodge.
Despite the great achievement, the settlers' celebrations were short-lived. The construction of the Mead Hall had awakened an ancient creature which had lain dormant beneath the ice nearby. Its name was the Udyrfrykte and it wrought death upon the settlers at Lake Fjalding in revenge for disturbing its sleep, reducing their numbers by half. A sorcerer managed to drive the Udyrfrykte back to its lair, sparing them from further carnage, but not destroying the beast.
After peace had returned, tensions grew over who would be the Mead Hall's new leader. Many settlers believed Hrothmund the Red to be the most worthy candidate, but Drengr Bronze-Helm disagreed, stating himself superior to Hrothmund. They fought a duel, to resolve their differences, which ended when Hrothmund beheaded Drengr Bronze-Helm where he stood. His battle-prowess earned Hrothmund the title of the Mead Hall's first chieftain. To serve as a reminder, Drengr Bronze-Helm's head was placed on a pedestal in the middle of the Hall for all to see.
This set a tradition that every new leader of the Mead Hall follows. After receiving the consent of Hrothmund the Red's spirit in Hrothmund's Barrow, they display their most prized battle trophy on the pedestal within Thirsk Mead Hall.
When the Hall is overrun with Rieklings, the interior is a mess. Tables and chairs are overturned, and the skulls and painted bones characteristic of Riekling lairs litter the place. A throne sits at the far back of the hall, where the chief sits.
After the Rieklings have been eradicated, the Hall is refurnished. New wall hangings, lighting, barrels, cooking fires and furnishings are added, and new sleeping quarters are installed at the back. The improved lighting successfully shows off the Nordic woodwork and architecture. The mead bottles and drinking vessels that adorn the tables are, in many places, knocked over and many of them litter the floor.
Notable itemsEdit
There are 27 bottles of Black-Briar Reserve to be found around the Hall, each with a base value of 100 Septims, and a jar of honey.
Side questsEdit
- Retaking Thirsk — Help the Nords retake Thirsk Mead Hall from Rieklings.
- The Chief of Thirsk Hall — Help an intelligent Riekling Chief with several tasks.
Miscellaneous questsEdit
- Elmus' Mead — Bring Elmus a bottle of Ashfire mead from Thirsk.
- Elmus' Berries — Bring Elmus some juniper berries.
- Halbarn's Supplies — Bring ten stalhrim ore and fifteen ebony ingots to Halbarn Iron-Fur.
- Hilund's Spears — Bring fifty Riekling spears to Hilund.
The quest Retaking Thirsk involves the slaying of a band of Rieklings that have taken over the Hall, including their chief.
There are sleeping quarters at the back of the Hall (to the north), containing five beds. None of them are owned.
There is also a blacksmith and his forge outside, once the Rieklings have been dealt with.
- Thirsk, a Revised History also gives a list of chieftains from Hrothmund up to Bujold the Unworthy, although the records are not complete—there is a gap around the time of the Nerevarine's involvement with the Mead Hall.
- It somewhat resembles the Companions' Jorrvaskr, both of which are mead halls.
- 360 PS3 When waking Halbarn Iron-Fur from his bed (directly to the left upon entering the sleeping area), he will get out of his bed on the wall-facing side and will clip into the wall.
- 360 PS3 Sometimes when entering Thirsk Mead Hall, no floor or walls will be present, only a few structures such as barrels and tables. If the player falls down, they will not die and come back to the entrance. Reloading a save fixes this.
- Sometimes when entering Thirsk Mead Hall, after defeating all the rieklings, they will all be back inside, and become hostile.

Basingstoke-based RSM Tenon is a leading sponsor of this year's Sunday Times Fast Track 100
7:00am Friday 10th August 2012 in Business By Richard Garfield
RSM Tenon is a leading sponsor of this year's Sunday Times Fast Track 100, which ranks Britain's 100 private companies with the fastest-growing sales. Over the past 16 years, the Fast Track league table awards and events have helped raise the profile of over 3,000 private growth companies, and the search has now started for the next 100 companies to feature in the 16th Sunday Times Fast Track 100. The initiative has already spotted many of Britain's brightest companies before they became household names, such as chip designer ARM Holdings, Carphone Warehouse and Boden.
RSM Tenon is sponsoring this year's league table, along with Barclays and title sponsor Virgin. The final list will be published in The Sunday Times on December 2, followed by an awards ceremony at Sir Richard Branson's Oxfordshire home in May. John Abbott, RSM Tenon's head of clients and marketing, said: "We're delighted to support this initiative which looks to identify the hard work and commitment made by so many of Britain's SMEs. "We know that these businesses are the lifeblood of the country, and we are pleased to be involved in helping to recognise the unique contribution they make both to their individual market sectors and to the UK economy as a whole."
Dr Hamish Stevenson, founder of Oxford-based research and networking-events company Fast Track, said: "The achievements of the founders and directors of Britain's fastest-growing private companies deserve recognition, particularly at these difficult economic times, and the support of partners such as RSM Tenon makes this possible.
"With our sponsors' support, we will now be able to showcase the next generation of growth stars making their mark."

Christopher Leighton has been performing and recording for the better part of three decades. A native of New York City (born in the Bronx), Christopher has performed as a solo artist and in show and cover bands on stages from Las Vegas to Nashville.
Christopher's introduction to guitar fundamentals was from a classical standpoint. However, after finding a book on jazz guitar in the local library, he photocopied the chord charts, learned them all and began ("to my parents dismay"), playing rock'n'roll. His initial forays into lead guitar were influenced by Jethro Tull (Martin Barre), King Crimson (Robert Fripp), Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton. While living in Des Moines, Iowa, he studied music theory with Don Archer while working with the Iowa Arts Council, teaching and playing in many venues. He began playing in clubs and at various events (including the Iowa State Fair and the Jerry Lewis telethon), as a solo artist and in acoustic and electric bands. He spent three years on the road, traveling across America with two show bands, playing musical material ranging from 'Dream Girls' to Lee Rittenour. Having now returned to New York "through a series of interesting events", he lives with his wife Lidia, five parrots, two cats, and four aquariums worth of fish. His musical compositions are influenced by a wide range of artists, including Mark Knopfler, Pat Metheny, Weather Report, George Gershwin, Keith Emerson, Thelonius Monk, Alan Holdsworth, Van Halen and Lee Rittenour.

Friendship bracelets are a thoughtful way to show your best pal some love. They can be worn as jewelry, of course, but you can also use them a variety of ways. Here are some ideas.
Small Gift Idea
One way to nurture a friendship is by giving small, inexpensive gifts. The present does not have to be a major event, but just a small token to let your pal know you were thinking of them. Friendship bracelets make the perfect type of offering for this, or as part of another present.
Here are a few ideas on how to use them:
- In an envelope along with a note
- On top of a package
- As part of a gift tag
- Around a bottle of wine or champagne
Use Friendship Bracelets As Part of the Presentation for a Gift
If you're giving a present that is a bit more substantial, a friendship bracelet can be used to make it even more special. For example:
- Camera strap: Personalize the gift of a camera by weaving a friendship bracelet to use in place of the strap.
- Cell phone: Program your number into a cell phone for your friend, and put a friendship bracelet on it as a decoration.
- Key chain: Giving someone the key to your place becomes that much better when you include a friendship bracelet. The bracelet can then be worn or used as part of the keychain.
- Bookmark: Sharing a favorite book just got better! Make a friendship bracelet that your pal can use as a bookmark or to wear.
Pet Collars
If you make them big enough, a friendship bracelet can fit around the neck of a small pet as a collar. You really need to test this, however, to make it big enough so it is the right size. Why not make one for your friend, and one for their best friend? Dog lovers will especially like this idea.
Make Them in Special Colors
Going to a class reunion? Make some friendship bracelets in your school's colors and give them out to old friends. Doing so may even help revive an old friendship.
If your friend has a favorite color, make a friendship bracelet in different shades of that hue. Your pal will appreciate that you customized it just for them. Or, choose a color based on Color Psychology to help improve your mood. Colors that are considered warm, such as red and orange, are thought to create feelings of warmth. Those on the cooler side, like blue or purple, are believed to be more calming.
Celebrate the Holidays
Make friendship bracelets with various colors and decorations to celebrate the holidays. If you're having a picnic for 4th of July, why not make a few in red, white and blue, for example? If you're hosting Thanksgiving, you could use bracelets in conjunction with the name place cards for the table. Use the time of year and occasion to dictate the look of the bracelet.

It's getting to that point in the semester when comfort becomes the prevailing theme. We're settling into our course loads, schedules and all that comes along with the season. And, while it seems like comfort is more important than anything, there is a way to make sure you aren't sacrificing your chic factor: cover up with chambray.
A carefree vibe and infectious smile weren't the only things I found this Fashionista sporting. Starting her outfit off with a late-summer favorite, she wore a floral dress with a dark base. This is always a great pick around the beginning of the fall is because it can be disguised as an autumn piece so easily. It gives just enough coverage before the autumn chill sets in. To complement the feminine aesthetic of such a dress, this Fashionista made sure to include some warm-toned hints of gold. From her strapped glitter sandals to her leather messenger bag and Marc Jacobs boldface watch, the accessories of her outfit coordinated to give the appearance of a warm autumn look.
In order to conceal what could be considered a staple summer dress on its own, this Fashionista utilized what I consider to be one of the most versatile pieces in a Fashionista/o's wardrobe: the chambray shirt. Commonly mistaken for denim, chambray is a light linen fabric that often comes in hues of blue to give the illusion of worn denim. I love the way it looks because it adds a rustic aesthetic that looks especially chic during the fall. Whether you choose a "denim-on-denim" look or a simple pairing with a tweed skirt, chambray can always do the job. And, when you are looking to maximize your wardrobe by cleverly sneaking in pieces, chambray can go over everything. It is, in essence, a go-to basic piece that can be worn open, closed, belted, loose and even tied around the waist if you are daring enough. It has that soft and worn feel that a Fashionista/o longs for during the fall. The options when wearing a piece like this are endless and you will feel more creative just by throwing it over your favorites.
Now more than ever, we should be hunting for that next cozy fall staple. After all, we are Fashionistas/os and students, ones who should value chic-ness in addition to comfort.

Salad on the Side Reviewed at Faith in the Moon!

Adding home control doesn't come cheap, but Control4 is making the purchase slightly less painful with its HC-200.
For $499, this unit can put a suite of home automation goodies in any home or apartment. Of course, if you're already living large, the unit can act as a secondary device, providing lighting, security, entertainment, and more—even supplying access to the Rhapsody music service. It's also pretty thin, making it easy to stuff into an existing rack system or cabinet.
"We believe the HC-200 sets a new standard of affordability for home automation," said Will West, Control4's CEO. "The evolution of our Home Controller line highlights Control4's commitment to providing flexible alternatives to fit the different needs of homeowners and in the case of the HC-200 will open the door to new customers who are ready for something more capable than a simple universal remote."
Other features include audio outputs for iPod hookups, an on-screen HD-enhanced graphic interface, and ZigBee support. There's also an optional Wi-Fi adapter available.
The HC-200 is scheduled to ship in November.

We're being repetitive with the mothership and all, but this is just too much fun.
Here it 'tis, the long awaited dash cam video of BISD transportation chief, Clifton Guillory's, traffic altercation. Guess what else: he had an expired driver's license, to boot. The things we learn through the magic of video.
At around the 5:20 mark of the tape, after the officer coughs up a lougie, he says over the radio: "He's drunker than Cooter Brown, ran off the road three or four times while I was behind him."
And yet, no field sobriety test?
During the 6-minute mark, the officers have a hootenanny of a time talking about how Guillory was "sh*thouse drink" (law enforcement speak for: "sh*thouse drunk"). A minute our so later, the officer says this stop "was one of those that he couldn't let go by, it was so bad."
And still, where's the breathalyzer?
At this point, y'all can fast forward to the 16-minute mark. The sound — curiously — is now off as the officer approaches the vehicle. The two shake hands. Another officer, we assume BISD, arrives, gets into the district vehicle and splits.
We still want to know: why was the BISD PD called? Why no ticket issued? Why did nothing happen????
What used to smell fishy, now stinks like three-week old trash.
A reader made this comment about an hour ago:
So it seems to me that Gator is writing about a story without looking into all the facts or even putting forth a good effort to find them and consider the truth. Gator, have you ever took into consideration that since Mr. Guillory was at a Whataburger less then a mile away from his home that he was simply getting a late night meal, like millions of american's do daily? Did you also look into the terms of his personal use of his district vehicle. He may very well be one of the few employees in the district allowed to use his vehicle at will.
You have to verify these things before you print a half cocked story, especially one that could damage a career in the community like Mr. Guillory's. Why not look into the terms of his vehicle with BISD before writing this. In addition no BPD sheriff or cop would turn over any person, that may be showing signs of intoxication, so obviously his ability to operate the vehicle was not the issue at all.
Gator get a life, and stop trying to further your career on BS assumptions.
Our career is stuck in the mud. As for "assumptions,' just watch the video. There are now more questions than answers, and none of them look good for any of the parties involved.

The Obama Administration has Broken Promises about Medical Marijuana
President Obama owes a debt of gratitude to the medical marijuana community for his election in 2008 — a debt that patients, providers, and businesses hoped would be fulfilled by the president following through on the promises he made to respect state medical marijuana laws.
As you can see in this recent op-ed in the Washington Post by MPP's Rob Kampia, not only has the administration failed to keep its promise of respecting states' rights on this issue, it is now the most hostile administration in U.S. history towards medical marijuana!
More than three out of four Americans support legalizing medical marijuana for serious medical conditions. With an approval rating of less than 50%, Obama needs to recognize the political ramifications of these continued attacks on the medical marijuana community.
If he wants to hold on to the White House this fall, Obama needs to keep the promises he made four years ago, and end the crackdown. As his attorney general said a few days ago, all he has to do is say the word.
