Insider Tips: Network Time Protocol
Networks often require very accurate timekeeping. The Network Time Protocol provides the time with precision.
Any cheap watch will keep better time than the chips in modern computers. There are tricks to improve precision – for example, you can ascertain the deviation and calculate a correcting vector – but you'll never find a real alternative to using the proper tools. Computers often learn the time from extremely accurate reference clocks. There are many options. A DCF77 receiver connected to the serial or USB port allows a computer to receive the time from a reference clock (Figure 1).

Traditional table manners are fast dying out as majority of people don't hesitate to bring their mobile phone, laptop or games console to the dinning table, a new study has revealed.
It found that the majority of Britons no longer eat together as a family.
The research revealed that putting the knife and fork together when they have finished, and closing their mouths when they eat are also no longer seen as necessary by many.

text: 01. The '06 XL883R awaiting some of its upgrades. Through the years Willie G. Davidson has penned some provocative models for Harley-Davidson. The '71 FX Super Glide, '77 FXS Low Rider, and '80 FXB Sturgis are landmarks, but among my favorites is the XLCR of 1977-78 vintage. Sadly, the XLCR was a sales flop both years it was on the market, even though café racers were in vogue at the time. I was hoping that the Motor Company would celebrate the Sportster's 50th anniversary in 2007 with a tribute XLCR, but that wasn't to be. And thus began my notion to build my own tribute Harley café racer, a bike I dubbed XLRCR, the middle R giving a nod to the bike's retro status. Actually, the idea to build the XLRCR had percolated inside my gray matter for many years. The idea began its slow brew in 1977 when I was the editor of HOT BIKE and we road tested the first XLCR for our December 1977 issue. About that cover bike we stated: "The bike is not a nimble café racer. No, it still favors some of its Harley blood, and cannot be thrown into a corner." The report also gave demerits to the XLCR's wobbly suspension and slippery Goodyear tires. A proper XLCR, I concluded at the time, deserved proper suspension and tires. 02. Patriot Suspension's Genesis fork springs come ready to insert into the fork tubes. Spacers are included. 02. Patriot Suspension's Genesis fork springs come ready to insert into the fork tubes. S So a couple years ago when my friend Junior at Lifestyle Cycles in Anaheim, California, said he had a used '06 XL883R for sale, I bought it figuring that it made the perfect platform for me to resurrect the spirit of the XLCR. The 883R's wrinkle-black engine cases and cast aluminum wheels are reminiscent of those on Willie G.'s design, making it the perfect donor bike. To expedite the project after Randy Morton's whiz-bang painters at Rock & Roll Custom Paintworks in Orange, California, applied an eye-catching black-with-checkered-flag paintjob, Mike Weber and the crew at Lifestyle's service department performed the sheetmetal parts swap, but only after I installed and tuned the suspension. I went with Patriot Suspension for its innovative dual-spring Genesis fork springs to beef up the frontend. And for the XLRCR's backside, I chose Works Performance's (WP) Pro Piggyback Adjustable shocks. These shocks have remote reservoirs for adjustable damping rates (compression and rebound), and threaded collars to set spring preload precisely. 03. After elevating the bike with a lift, the fork oil and stock springs were removed. New Patriot progressively wound springs were then slipped into each fork leg. 03. After elevating the bike with a lift, the fork oil and stock springs were removed. Ne If you special-order the shocks, WP can tailor the spring rates to your weight. Before you make any further adjustments, though, record the settings as applied by WP. Check to see how many clicks from full soft (there are about 15 compression and rebound damping clicks) were given to the shocks' damping settings by the factory. Do the same for the shock preload, measuring the distance from the threaded preload collar to the reservoir body. That way, should you change settings, you can always return to "ground zero" as recommended by WP. Proper suspension without good (read: sticky) tires is about as welcome as warm beer on a hot day. And so to help XLRCR chill out through the turns, I wrapped the wheels with Avon Venom tires (100/90-19 front, 150/80-16 rear), but I did so only after Mag Masters polished the cast aluminum hoops' machined surfaces. XLRCR wasn't going to be the most colorful bike on the road, so I decided a little spit and shine here and there would visually liven things up. Next issue we'll show you some of the other modifications, including the Harley parts that we incorporated into the project, and the cool custom-made café racer seat from Saddlemen. 1 | 2 | » | View Full Article By Dain Gingerelli Enjoyed this Post?

I've been trying to find out how I can further customize the login screen on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Is this something that can be done in terms of moving the actual window for the username and password more upwards and to the left and if I can resize it and also change the color and transparency to it or is this something I can only accomplish by downloading the source code and finding a way within there? Thanks in advance for any help.

Setting up SuxPanel
Desktop Sideboard
Even the smallest desktop has room
for a panel. If your choice of a window
manager does not support a suitable
panel alternative,you can always add
a panel like SuxPanel. Suxpanel provides
many useful features for the
desktop,and it even it even supports
Asideboard or panel groups a collection
of practical desktop
extensions like a clock and a start
menu. The major desktop environments,
such as KDE and Gnome, have a panel
by default, but users of more simple window
managers often need to add a panel.
SuxPanel [1], by Leandro Pereira, has an
amazing list of features, including an
extended clipboard, plug-in support, and
automatic menu generation.
SuxPanel has no RPM or Debian packages
at this time, so you will have to
build the panel from the source code. To
build SuxPanel from the source, you
need gtk2 version 2.0 and the matching
developer package. Most distributions
add a -devel or -dev tag to help you identify
the developer packages. Unpack the
suxpanel-0.3.tar.bz2 archive file, and
change to the directory created by this
step, suxpanel-0.3. Then type the following

When It Comes To Entitlements, Obama Feels Heat From Left And Right
December 12, 2012 Despite his re-election and bolstered Democratic numbers in Congress, President Obama has far from a free hand to make a comprehensive deal with House Speaker John Boehner that would include cuts to entitlement programs. Strong resistance to that notion is coming from the political left — and with a warning.

Everything about the stay was excellent. New facility, spacious and clean rooms, comfortable beds. The best part was the wonderful staff. The house... manager greeted us warmly, was efficient and helpful. The cleaning staff were friendly and seemed to be focused on doing a good job. Price included dinner of salad and hamburgers (we had dinner plans, so did not eat) and hotel breakfast with eggs & sausage, waffles, cereal, fruit and toast/muffins/sweet rolls. Great visit....although we likely won't be back in Tupelo any time soon, we now have a standard for exceptional service all the way around. da Carolyn da Atlanta il 05/09/2013

Cooler Master, an industry leading chassis, thermal solution, peripheral, and accessory manufacturer, uncovers the ultimate follow-up to the widely popular GeminII CPU Cooler, the GeminII S524. The GeminII S524 is the embodiment of versatility, efficiency, and silence. GeminII S524, a unique alternative to traditional CPU & system memory cooling. Rotated 90 degrees, it harnesses the constant flow of cool air from the side of the system and directs it to the heatsink fins to cool the CPU. Unique to this design, the GeminII S524 channels a portion of this cool air to the system memory to help dissipate the heat generated by critical system components. Benefiting from a larger heatsink surface area, increased clearance for high-end system memory modules, and an easily upgradeable fan, the GeminII S524 claims its position as a transformative cooling solution while maintaining an impressive performance-to-noise ratio. Electroplated Copper Base and 140mm Fan Support GeminII S524 is an evolutionary new step in CPU cooling. It features a total of five high-grade 6mm thick copper heat pipes that emerge from a large copper base that, combined, offer optimal heat conduction; quickly spreading and removing heat generated by the CPU. To prevent corrosion of its copper surfaces without impacting its heat conductivity, the GeminII S524 base and all heat pipes have been electroplated with a microscopic layer of nickel. The increased surface area of the heatsink and revised fin design of GeminII S524 not only improve its cooling performance but allow for the installation of a 140mm fan, making it a highly flexible cooling solution suitable for any computing environment. The GeminII S524 will be available worldwide in August 16th, 2011 for $39.99 MSRP at retail and online locations that carry your favorite Cooler Master, CM Storm, and Choiix products. For more information, visit the product page.
Very nice, simple design. It also has some clearance between the fan and fins. I wonder why designers are so afraid of making coolers slightly larger (by having 'hooded' fan), and have great performance and noise level improvement.
Nice looking, that could be a good cpu cooler for people that have limited space. Looks like it has enough height to clear many types of ram. Hopefully it performs good enough.
It's just the same old boring air cooler . Blah blah blah blah blah ... They all look the same . Hell this one looks the same as one I had years ago . What was that one called ????? It was a coolermaster though .
I don't like that the 14cm adapter is not removable. It looks weird, like the fan has a picture frame around it.
Actually reminds me of the old thermalright XP120, except it looks like it wont block some memory slots this time, lol.
Very nice, this cut away instead of angled lower "ram area" fins is a big improvement over similar design's, should clear most ram with 47mm or about 2.5" stiffy disk size clearance. Would also love to see performance testing on this. Also include if it is top heavy / leaning towards one side = more pressure / bending of the motherboard or well balanced and no anchor lines needed LOL.
First one was way better. Surprised they're still using L shape heatpipe . U type would be better here ( using thinner aluminum fans and just have them one stack above the other) (or just have a small gap between the fins and have them same level) (original design just incase you missed it)
Did anyone notice they mounted it backwards in the case? Isn't the fan supposed to blow down on the dram? Does this count as a fail or did I completely miss the intention here?
I am betting it is but i am thinking they have made it smaller due to the fast that the original one took so much space. I still have mine thinking about it lol.. Although you take the metal bracket of it and just use 1 120mm fan with your good old friend the zip tie. Dumb fan bracket on this one as it looks like you can fit a bigger fan on it pointlessly though as there is metal in the way of the extra possible airflow.
Yeah I cut the excess metal away and bolted a 140mm straight onto the fan bracket on mine. Cools better than the h50 I'm using right now.
Yeah t be the 1st thing i did too. I take it it's like the 1st one were you can take the fan bracket off then ?.

Chip Chat
A few years ago, the great epic battle of the IT industry was all about operating systems. MS-DOS versus OS/ 2, Windows verses Mac. Novell NetWare rode the wave of the network operating system for a while, until Microsoft punched back with Windows NT. The first couple of years I was in my editor's chair, it seemed like every month we were writing about some hyperbolic new FUD from Microsoft as it sought to bring down Linux.
Dear Linux Pro Reader,
A few years ago, the great epic battle of the IT industry was all about operating systems. MS-DOS versus OS/2, Windows verses Mac. Novell NetWare rode the wave of the network operating system for a while, until Microsoft punched back with Windows NT. The first couple of years I was in my editor's chair, it seemed like every month we were writing about some hyperbolic new FUD from Microsoft as it sought to bring down Linux.
All these operating systems still exist (except for NetWare, I guess), but the great epic struggle of one system versus another hardly commands the same attention it used to. Even the great iPhone versus Android struggle is increasingly looking like iPhone versus Samsung – not that Google isn't still an interested party, but it isn't so easy to separate the experience of the operating system from the phone itself. Microsoft even tried to buy its way into the smartphone standoff with a massive subsidy for Nokia, only to discover that its cherished Windows brand had absolutely no significance to the market.
The showdown of the operating systems has gotten pretty predictable in recent years, so many industry watchers have taken to observing the competition in smartphones and tablets. But for me, the more interesting market to watch in the next few years will be the chips. Although the processor industry might seem like business as usual on the surface, new forces acting in the background are creating pressure for change. Intel has a tighter grip on the PC industry than ever before, with its market share for x86-class chips rising steadily over competitor AMD. But the sales for conventional PCs is actually starting to decline. PC vendors like HP and Dell are struggling to redefine themselves in the falling market, and Intel needs to find ways to carry its dominance to other fields, lest it awaken to find itself the captain of a ghost ship.
Meanwhile, the new emphasis on gadgets has brought new emphasis to ARM-based processors from vendors such as Qualcomm and NVidia that populate the tablet and smartphone industries, creating an interesting competitive space with more dimensions than the one-on-one battle of Goliath Intel and middleweight contender AMD. Intel is fighting to establish a presence in the smartphone sphere, with a new generation of Atom System on a Chip (SoC) systems designed to compete with ARM-based products such as Qualcomm's Snapdragon.
The HPC market also adds new dimensions. Although Intel still dominates, the fast-evolving field has led to many additional considerations, such as an emphasis on low power usage and minimizing the cost per cycle for large numbers of processors. Graphics processors (a specialty of AMD) have gained importance in the HPC field for massive-scale number crunching, and the low-cost, low-power ARM chips are also starting to leave a mark in the power-conscious HPC industry.
I'm not sure who to cheer for in all this. In terms market competition and the climate for innovation, it would probably be better if Intel doesn't take over the whole world. What would be really good for everyone is a highly competitive environment, in which several processor companies (or at least more than two) each have a specialty and are all able to compete across a broad range of uses. Let's hope some contenders rise to the challenge, and they all fight each other to a tie.

Tile and tile notification overview (Windows Store apps)
This topic discusses the concepts and terminology surrounding app tiles, which are the Start screen tiles that represent and launch your app. An app tile is more than a big icon; it has the ability to display a continuously changing set of content that can be used to keep the user aware of events associated with that app (such as new social networking posts, new news headlines, or stock quotes) when the app is not running. A tile notification can originate either from a local API call or from the cloud. An interesting and useful tile can give a user incentive to launch your app, and this aspect of your app development should not be slighted.
Tiles and tile notifications
Tiles are available in two sizes: square and wide. Either size can display text, images, app branding—either an app logo or a name—and notification badges. A default tile is included in the app package, either square only, or square or wide. If the default tile contains both square and wide versions, the user can change a tile's size at any time thereafter to personalize their Start screen.
The following illustration shows the Start screen with both square and wide tiles.
The content of a tile is defined in XML, based on a set of templates provided by Windows. To define a tile's contents, you can simply fill in one of the templates with your own text and images. You can also use the NotificationsExtensions object, or create the XML payload from scratch and provide it as a string.
Depending on the template you select, your tile can contain text, images, or both. It can also display a badge and either a logo or a short name. The badge is displayed in the lower right corner and the logo or short name in the lower left. You can see examples of badges, logos, and names in the illustration above.
Note While a badge is shown on a tile, it is not part of the tile's XML content and is not affected by tile updates. Badges have their own XML schema and are independently updated through their own set of APIs.
By default, push, periodic, and scheduled notifications expire three days from the time when they are provided. Local tile notifications do not expire, but they can, and usually should, be given an expiration time. Because some notifications can be time-sensitive, there comes a time when those notifications are no longer valid and you no longer want that content shown. By using the expiration time, you can tell your tile to remove that content from the tile if it is currently displayed or to ignore the notification if it arrives after the expiration time.
Working with tile templates
Tiles are based on a non-extensible set of Windows-provided XML templates. Each template contains some mix of an image or images and text of different sizes. Use of these templates enables an app to maintain the expected Windows look and feel in their notifications. A template supplies a framework for the necessary XML image and text elements that can be specified by a notification.
Tile templates for both square and wide tiles are available in two varieties: static and peek. The content of a peek tile scrolls up and down within the tile space to display the full communication; static tiles are fixed.
Default tiles
When your app is first installed, it displays a default tile in the Start screen. Generally, it is just a representation of your logo or other branding. In the illustration above, the tiles for Internet Explorer and the Store are default tiles. Your default tile is defined in your app manifest file and is displayed until the tile is updated through its first notification. The tile reverts to the default whenever it has no notification to display.
One choice that you make when you define your default tile has a permanent effect: if you do not provide a wide logo image, you app tile cannot be resized to a wide tile, which means that it cannot receive a wide notification. This can only be changed by issuing an update to your app that includes a wide logo image for its default tile. If you do include a wide logo image, when your app is first installed, the tile will be shown in its wide configuration.
Your tile's content can revert to the default tile when there are no notifications to be displayed; for example, when the current tile notification has expired.
The default tile also optionally defines a background color for your tile, to associate with your brand or simply to differentiate your tile. This color choice is also reflected in other areas of the UI:
- The button color in any dialog box that is owned by your app
- The App Description page in the Windows Store
A tile notification is defined as an XML document whose elements are defined in the tile schema. Notifications can be sent to the tile by the app when it is running, retrieved periodically from a specified Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), or sent by a cloud-based service associated with the app. In the latter case, notifications are routed through the Windows Push Notification Services (WNS).
For a full list of available tile templates, with explanations of each, see The tile template catalog.
Cycling tile notifications
By default, a tile shows a single notification until that notification expires or a new notification arrives to replace it. When an app enables cycling on its tile, the system will automatically rotate through up to five current notifications on the tile. Generally, the oldest notification is replaced in the queue when a new notification arrives. However, notifications can be given a tag so that a new notification with a specific tag will replace an older notification with the same tag, regardless of its place in the queue. For instance, a notification that shows the bid on a certain auction can be replaced in the queue when the top bid changes.
Depending on the nature of your app and its notifications, you could potentially have outdated or duplicate notifications cycling on the tile. Tags can be used to prevent outdated notifications. For more information, see How to use the notification queue with local notifications.
Notifications will be shown at random with a bias toward new content. The display order is determined entirely by Windows; you should not depend on any specific display order.
- Use cycling in a news app that sends five stories each day.
- Use cycling in a news app that sends up to five supplementary images to illustrate a single story.
- Use cycling with tags in a stock app that send three notifications every hour, each tagged for a specific stock.
Secondary tiles
A secondary tile allows a user to launch directly from the Start screen to a specific location or subexperience in an app. The app decides which content to offer as a pinning option, but the user chooses whether the secondary tile will be created or deleted. This lets a user personalize their Start screen with the experiences they use the most.
A secondary tile is independent of the main app tile and can receive tile notifications independently. When the secondary tile is activated, an activation context is presented to the parent app so that it can launch in the context of the secondary tile.
For more information on secondary tiles, see Secondary tiles overview.

2014 SEC MENS BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT INFO: Location: Atlanta, Georgia Venue: Georgia Dome Games: 13 total, divided into 7 sessions over 5 days Dates: March 12-16, 2014 SEC Tournament Bracket
Recent SEC Tournament Winners:
Although it's more well-known as a football juggernaut, the Southeastern Conference boasts one of the longest-running men's basketball tournaments in the country with a history of excellence that few leagues can match. With 10 National Championships to its credit, the conference tournament has become a stepping stone that will launch a team into the NCAA Tournament. Begun back in 1933, the event was initially held at the Atlanta Athletic Club, where the Kentucky Wildcats won the first of many SEC Championships. Over the years, the tourney has been held at the Georgia Dome, the Birmingham Coliseum, the Bridgestone Arena and many other venues that housed the pulse-pounding action on the hardwood. The SEC Men's Basketball Tournament was a consistent force in the college basketball world since its inception, and the University of Kentucky emerged as the juggernaut that other teams tried to emulate. The Wildcats captured every title during the 1940s, with the exception of 1941 and 1943 when Tennessee stole the show. The Wildcats won seven straight championships until 1951 when Vanderbilt finally knocked them off. Unfortunately, the tourney was disbanded in 1952 and replaced with an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament for those who finished with the best regular season record. For 26 years, the SEC stuck to this playoff format, but the winds of change forced the league to reinstate the tournament in 1978 at the Jefferson Coliseum. The return of the tournament proved to be an uncanny period of parity for the league, with different schools winning the title each year from 1979 to 1985. Teams like LSU, Mississippi, Georgia and Auburn took advantage of Kentucky's weak recruiting classes to surge to the front of the pack. As the league transitioned to a divisional format in the early 1990s, the SEC welcomed South Carolina and Arkansas to the conference. The league also changed the format to reward the top two seeds with the best records with first round byes, giving the lower seeded teams a rough road to the title. However, in 2000, newcomer Arkansas became the first team in the tourney's history to play all four days of the tournament and win the title outright. In the late 2000s, the SEC experienced remarkable recruiting growth, and it is now widely considered one of the must-watch tourneys of the postseason and plays a major role in NCAA Tournament seeding.

I'm sure you're all hungering after this! A comparison between Samsung's new Flagship phone, the Galaxy S3, and Apple's iPhone 4S.
The screen of the iPhone is laughable when compared next to the Samsung Galaxy S3. The iPhone may have it's 'Retina Display', but the high resolution of the SGS3 spread over 4.8inches is even more lovely to look at. Apple should understand that big screens are what people want and studies have proven this.
The iPhone 4S has less inside it, but weighs more! Samsung have set another marker in pioneering light smartphones with even more hardware stuffed inside them. I love that the SGS3 can have the battery removed and an SD card inserted! It means that third party batteries like those from Magellan can be installed for extra power. Also, the whole affair of rooting the SGS3 will be easier when you have removable storage. In my opinion lack of removable storage is a flaw of the One X. Unibody construction may look impressive, but what is the real point besides a 'no edge' finish? Alright, but let's stay focused on the S3 vs iPhone, shall we?
While the camera in the SGS3 may not appear to be much better than the iPhone 4S' camera megapixel wise — there are a few features thrown in with it that certainly make it a few steps better. The first is Burst Shot – The phone captures images at a rate of 3.3/second and then chooses the best picture of a set for you. The second is the Zero Shutter lag feature – quick snaps! The last, and my personal favourite, is the ability to identify people within your photos and be able to easily send them a copy. It's a great idea, and sharing is something that the Samsung has baked into every aspect of what is contained within the S3.
I think everyone who has seen the pictures agree – S-Voice is a Siri lookalike. It's Samsung's attempt at showing off their speech recognition technology alongside Apple's. They could have changed the design a little more though. Besides the very Siri-looking interface, it seems to mostly be a booster on the voice services that came with the Galaxy S2 I found that S-Voice worked fine for me, then again so does Siri. Have Samsung improved on Voice Recognition in the areas Apple slipped up? We'll know soon enough.
Samsung have introduced quite a few new features and standards for other smartphone manufactures to attempt to beat. These include:
I like the sound of every single one of these. As far as I can recall, the iPhone 4S doesn't have any frills like these?
So all in all and in my opinion, the Samsung Galaxy S3 stands above the iPhone 4S and laughs at it. It is far thinner, lighter and delivers more for your money. In terms of the user experience, the fluidity of operation, the feature set, and in virtually every area that counts, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is light years ahead of Apple's profitable darling.
How about you? What are your thoughts? Is the S3 too much phone? Does it stand tall when compared next to the S3? Let us know!

i light a cig as I walk down the rained on pavement of Brooklyn. My trench coat travels behind me blowing in the wind. I haven't shaved I don't have fucking time for appearances right now. Jack the snake, as his gang buddies call him, has to pay. He wasn't even green lighted for the drive by that took three year old Susan's life. Only three not much older then my daughter was. My fists clench like breathing. The people on the streets give me a wide breath. If they don't recognize me, they recognize the fire in my eyes.
This wasn't a job. It was punishment. I would take jobs now and then. Then there were these the more personal ones. The ones that dug beneath the scars. I didn't have much on me. A ka bar knife always a good tool. Two .45 semi automatic pistols, classic design. One shot stopping power with an eight shot mag. I carried one extra mag in my cargo pants. Underneath my now famous skull shirt I wore a lv 3 bullet proof vest. One flash bang. I saw the parking lot where snake boy hung out with a few of his buddies. A cafe was across the street from it. As I opened the door a bell chimed. I had a perfect window view of his gang. An alley behind the parking lot was my escape into a jeep I parked nearby yesterday. Three years old..my fists clench again. After the streets clear and the lot empties ,except for them, I know it's time to go to work.
I walked out of the cafe as night descended. None of them saw me approach. Too busy with their rap shit. I pulled my knife with my left hand and stuck the first guy in the right side of the neck. His song ended as he reached for his wound, I pulled his 9mm with my right. He fell to the ground hands trying to pressure the wound as blood gushed between his fingers. He had 5 minutes max. Two shots went into Jacks other friend as his hand reached his gun. I pulled the trigger on jack but it was empty. So I rolled to the left and tossed the gun at his face. He ducked, I charged, knife going into his gut. " This is for Susan." i told him as his mouth filled with blood. His own bleeding and the stomach acid would finish him off. I picked his cell off him, better way to locate more scum and headed to my jeep. Just another nights work.

Gwyneth Paltrow Gossip
Gwyneth Paltrow gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Gwyneth complains, Anna listens?
FilmMagic/ Getty
The MET Gala this year – the theme was punk and Gwyneth Paltrow wore a pink dress that wasn't punk at all and complained that it was too crowded because so much riffraff was allowed in, remember? "I'm never going again. It was so un-fun. Full Story
Gwyneth vs Graydon: Graydon speaks!
Quick recap, in case you've forgotten…but how could you forget? Vanity Fair wanted to do a piece on Gwyneth Paltrow who has been on the cover 5 times. She refused and sent an email to all her friends telling them to boycott the magazine. Graydon Carter, the editor of Vanity Fair, is currently promoting the 100th anniversary of the publication. Full Story
Gwyneth Paltrow has joined Instagram. What a perfect way to open the day. How many other stars make headlines for starting a social media account? It was a headline over at The CUT yesterday and several other sites. Why? With some celebrities, you don't give a sh-t what they had for lunch, you don't care about the view they have from their hotel room, it doesn't matter what their dog looks like at bedtime. Full Story
Shirtless Gwyneth
AKM-GSI/ Splash
I say it all the time – I love the look of a woman without a shirt on underneath a suit. I LOVE IT. And I can't do it. You know why? We did a segment yesterday on The Social with Secrets From Your Sister, the bra specialists. They measured us for new bras because apparently no one actually knows their proper bra size. Full Story
5 years of GOOP
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Last week, on September 26, Gwyneth Paltrow celebrated 5 years of GOOP. September 26 happens to be my birthday. I'm telling you, we are linked for life. Here's what G had to say about her milestone: I can't believe this is the 5th anniversary of goop. I look back and I don't even really know why I started it. Full Story
So…Jay didn't listen to the GOOP
Look. It's the cover of the November issue of Vanity Fair featuring Moses Martin's Uncle Jay. What? But Gwyneth Paltrow, didn't she send a note out to all her homies telling them to boycott the magazine? That report came from The New York Times Full Story
Gwyneth in white, red lips, and vaginas
Gwyneth Paltrow's been wearing a lot of white. Is it the Hugo Boss thing? Last night she wore white with pockets. I can get behind most dresses with pockets. I wish this particular dress wasn't a tank but I do like this mid-length which is supposed to be THE length of the season, the season now being fall, and how is it already fall? My summer officially sucked. Full Story
GOOP goes to baseball
Harry How/ Getty
Come on. How many times did you watch Gwyneth Paltrow's garden party video with Stella McCartney video yesterday? Did you spot the non-white person? I think there may have been a non-white person but only shown in half-face. And kneeling. So don't you ever say it's not diverse in the Hamptons ever again, OK? Here's G at the Dodgers game yesterday, with Apple and Moses, contemplating how to GOOP-ify baseball. Full Story
GOOP's garden party -- the video
Have you seen this yet? You have to see it. When you see it you'll understand why I'm obsessed with it. You remember the GOOP garden party Gwyneth Paltrow hosted in the Hamptons a few weeks ago? Um. There's video. Here. See? Now you don't give a sh-t about the scooter. Full Story
Gwyneth and her scooter
AKM-GSI / Splash News
Have you seen that video of Gwyneth Paltrow on her scooter in LA nearly colliding with a school bus? Apple's riding in back. And then Chris Martin – or at least they're saying it's Chris Martin – follows behind in his own scooter with Moses. VIDEO REMOVED. SORRY. Full Story
Gwyneth vs Vanity Fair (again)
You remember when Page Six first reported that Gwyneth declined Vanity Fair and was telling her friends all over the place not to do it? The NY Times is now confirming it. They were able to access an email from G to her people that read as follows: "Vanity Fair is threatening to put me on the cover of their magazine. Full Story
Gwyneth's weekend: garden parties and book signings
Hypnotics/ Splash, Kevin Mazur/ Getty
Gwyneth Paltrow and Stella McCartney hosted an English garden party for GOOP in the Hamptons on Friday. How do you make it on the guest list for this event? If I walked in would they automatically direct my Chinese ass into the kitchen? The dress with the two hearts is Stella, obviously. I love it a LOT. Full Story
Gossip Genie to the Hamptons
Gwyneth Paltrow's in the Hamptons, riding around on her scooter, no makeup, cut-off jeans, hair scraped back in a bun. You know who else is spending August in the Hamptons? The Slum Bears. Gossip Genie that for me would you? G and JLO running into each other at Jack's Coffee. Full Story
The Hamptons Mom
Two Gwyneth Paltrow posts in one day – it's a good day! Here are some new photos for you to judge. Because I know there's no one you love to judge more than my G. She's spending August in the Hamptons, as you know, and some of her days are spent catching up with the other Hamptons moms at Jack's coffee and booting around with Apple on her apple red scooter.

Started last night to transfer the info from my birthday calendar into my mobile (cell) phone. Got it all done, but was not 100% happy. The longest the alarm function can be programmed is up to one day in advance. That's no use for me, as I often have to know I should send a card about a week before a birthday.
Decided then to use my tickler as follows: Got 12 nice postcards for Jan - Dec. and wrote dates and names on each card for each month. If I knew the year a person was born, I wrote that on the card, too. (That way I won't forget VERY special birthdays.) Each card goes in specific month file.
Went out today for two cards for birthdays in October and ended up buying 12 cards. These are now safely in the December, February, March and August files.
Interestingly, doing this joyful task showed me that most of my friends are Aquarians, Libras and Leos. As a Gemini I suppose I'm attracted to the other Air signs. As for the Leos, they are Fire. Thinking about all of them, I realise that we kind of whip each other up (Fire needs Air to burn). All of these relationships are really creative and fun. I also have (mostly) good and productive relationships with all the other people in my life but I realised when doing my birthday card tickler that I'm really closest to the Air and Fire people. (Sorry all you astrology sceptics out there. This is just an observation which I wanted to share. )

Add Photo Add Comment Printer View
Locate the tall face where The Sound of One Shoe Tapping and W. A. C. converge; this route is on the second rock to the right. You can access the top of the rock via a fourth-class gully left of the face. R. A. F. is the rightmost of two routes that diverge near the first bolt; Penelope Street (aka Battle of Britain), 5.10a/b, is the left of the two. Nice friction, with the cruxy moves only slightly above bolts.
Three bolts.
Alan Winter was of British orgin and Dave Houser named the route R.A.F. not for a Royal Air Force as might be supposed, but for Royal [or Real] Ass F*cker -- for the reason Alan's comment below explains.
The real reason it was called RAF, was that there was a rather large Yucca with very pointy branches right at the start of the route. In fact, at the start we had to traverse in from the right to get above it. So Dave and I decided on the pun right when we finished the route. I don't know if the Yucca is still there. But the reason for the route name should now be obvious and an inside joke for years. It has been a long time since I climbed. I miss the old crowd of Mike Waugh, Dave, and the others. Randy has an excellent memory to remember that I am English.
I didn't see that yucca but if I had led this I would have been looking for it (so I wouldn't land on it). This is a real spicy friction climb. There are 0 big holds and its all balance. There are no anchors at the top so you'll need some gear for the belay.
Anyone know what the variation to the left near the top goes at? I believe that the Vogel guide has it at 10a but it felt more like 10c to me.
I climbed this on 12/09/04. Haven't been climbing a whole lot, but thought the crux to be a little harder than just 5.9. A very nice route. Definitely will be back.
I tend to agree with 510b4me on the rating. But 5.9/5.9+ whatever depending/ It is a fun as hell, friction plus zero hold Jtree special. There are anchors on top that can be used now to bring up your second. Hopefull they will not be chopped by some SOB thinking he/she is God of the rock.
Led this route many many years ago, sans the belay bolts at the top. Fun face route, good for the rating of 5.9
Fun route and a little spicy after the second bolt. What is the nice looking bolted route about 5 feet to the right of it.
BPJ, the bolted route to the right of this is Swing Low, 5.7....see description.
A decent climb on good rock. Worthwhile doing on a rest day. Only "two star" to me... Trickier than it looks.
"Worthwhile on a rest day": hilarious. Lead this when you're well rested and have a handful of recent 5.9 slabs under your belt. Sustained and runout on top.
For sure a fun and worthwhile route to add to a tick list. Not sure about it being spicy or having no holds at all, as that as far as Jtree friction is concerned it has perfect tiny edges and little bulges everwhere you need them and the bolts are right around each crux making it a great route to test your friction limits without paying a big price. If I am in the area its a route I never miss and always smile after. Try Swing low right next to it or WAC on the next buldge left to make it a 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 circuit of jtree slab

*Updated 10:31 a.m. Friday* Updated rainfall totals from Tropical Depression 2:
Laredo 7.80
Victoria 4.25
Bloomington 3.60
Victoria Regional Airport 3.03
Fort Hood/Gray AAF 2.47
Flooding has caused evacuations in Mexico and South Texas, after the heavy rainfall in addition to rains brought from Hurricane Alex last week.
Stretches along the Rio Grande are seeing the worst of the storm. Over 8 inches of rain are expected in some areas near the river.
Take a look at the flooding caused by this storm in Downtown Monterrey.
*Updated 12:07 p.m.* Tropical Depression 2 has moved inland. The system has become much less organized, and appears to have just made landfall. Heavy rainfall is still a threat for areas that have already seen one round of torrential rain in the past week thanks to Hurricane Alex. Near tropical storm-force winds can be expected along the lower Texas coast as well.
Rainfall totals near 4 inches are expected in Brownsville, with 6-8 inches projected in some parts of South Texas. It appears the center of the storm is located over South Padre Island. Showers and thunderstorms, including one possibly tornadic storm have already moved into the area, and will likely continue throughout the day today.
Radar image from Brownsville at 12:06 p.m. Not much organization to this storm, but heavy rainfall possible.
For us, showers and thunderstorm chances will be increasing this afternoon, and isolated totals could be over three inches in some areas, likely in our southern counties.
*Updated 8:20 a.m. Thursday* Tropical Depression 2 remained a Tropical Depression overnight, but could still become a Tropical Storm today before making landfall. Shower and thunderstorm activity near the center of the system has nearly vanished, but this does happen occasionally during early stages of formation. Winds are still at 35 mph, just shy of Tropical Storm strength, and the system will have a chance to strengthen throughout the day today.
The primary concern with this storm is the heavy rainfall. 3-5 inches could fall in some locations in the Brazos Valley, and the lower Texas coast will likely see even more todal and tonight as the system pushes onshore.
Showers are currently moving in from the South. Parts of Waller and Austin counties already experiencing heavy rainfall. The showers will continue to move North, and training, or heavy rainfall repeatedly moving over the same areas is possible today. These are the areas that there will be special concern for flooding.
*Updated 10:29 p.m. Wednesday* Tropical Depression 2 has formed in the Gulf of Mexico. Air Force Hurricane Hunters were sent to investigate an area of low pressure producing numerous showers and thunderstorms. When they arrived, they found a closed low pressure circulation and winds of 35 mph, nearly tropical storm strength.
Water temperatures in the Western Gulf are over 80 degrees, and there is low wind shear in the area. Those two factors mean that the depression will likely intensify overnight, and it doesn't have to strengthen much (only to 39 mph) to become Tropical Storm Bonnie.
The storm is expected to follow roughly the same track that Alex did, making landfall along the lower Texas coast or Mexico, but the good news is that this storm only has about 24 hours to strengthen, so it will not be nearly as strong as Hurricane Alex when it makes landfall. However, heavy rainfall in already saturated areas of Texas and Mexico could cause more problems as the storm nears land.
Forecasters expect the depression to strengthen into a Tropical Storm, and Tropical Storm Warnings have been issued for the coastal areas of the lower Texas coast south of Baffin Bay and into Mexico.
In the Brazos Valley, we're expecting another round of heavy rain from the system. Even though we won't see the worst of the storm, flash flooding and isolated funnel clouds/tornadoes are possible as a very moist tropical air mass continues to stream into the area tonight and tomorrow.
The storm is currently located at 23.9 N, 93.9 W, moving NW at 14 mph.

The Battle of the Cost-Benefit Analysts
The battle itself was costly. First OSHA hired a well-known consulting firm (Arthur D. Little) to analyze its draft proposal. The resulting report was riddled with errors and questionable assumptions.[51] It was so vulnerable to attack that OSHA hired a second firm (Booz, Allen & Hamilton) to massage the data. The NGFA subsequently hired a third consulting firm (G.E.M. Consultants) to attack the conclusions reached by the first two.
On the cost side, estimates prepared for OSHA by Booz, Allen pegged the total initial cost of the standard at $200 million, with annual recurring costs of approximately $137 million. These estimates reflected a series of assumptions about the cost of each of the fourteen provisions in the proposed rule.[52] Industry accepted the Booz, Allen estimates for some of the minor provisions, such as permit systems for hot work (see table 5), but it took issue with most of the others. By
making marginally higher estimates for almost every subsidiary assumption, industry argued that the cost of many provisions were understated by a factor of two.[53] Except for the housekeeping provisions, these differences of opinion did not add up to much. Hundreds of millions of dollars, however, separated the cost estimates for housekeeping. Some of these differences are impossible to evaluate.[54] Other assumptions made by OSHA's consultant seem more reasonable than the industry's.[55] Industry also offered some persuasive indictments of the OSHA estimates. The Booz, Allen study assumed that operators would purchase "dust-tight" vacuum cleaners, even though the National Electric Code requires the more expensive models certified for class (g) environments. In short, it seems safe to assume that the true cost of the rule would fall in between the estimates prepared by the two consultants.
On the benefit side, where estimates are normally subject to more uncertainty, the report prepared for OSHA took a realistic position. It was assumed that the housekeeping provision would prevent approximately 30–50 percent of all fires and 17–32 percent of all explosions. Through a series of calculations intended to gauge the "willingness-to-pay" to avoid property damage and personal injuries, these figures produced an estimated total benefit of approximately $286 million.[56] Industry did not take issue with the specifics of these estimates. Although it is always arguable that things will not work out as well as planned, the estimates prepared for OSHA were not vulnerable to the charge of overoptimism.
The battle of the cost-benefit analysts was not won clearly by either side. Assuming that actual benefits would be between 50 and 90 percent of OSHA's (possibly high) estimates, the rule would yield from $143 million to $286 million in total annual benefits. Estimates of annualized cost, based on the figures presented in table 5 and discounted to present value, ranged from $113 million (OSHA) to $240 million (NGFA). The true cost is likely to be somewhere in between. Therefore, the OSHA standard may or may not generate more benefits in excess of costs—a plausible case can be made for both propositions. Either way, the costs appear to be in the same ballpark as the benefits.

Diabetes worldwide: A global concern
By Nancy Klobassa Davidson, R.N., and Peggy Moreland, R.N.
7 comments posted
While thinking about what to write about for this week's blog, I came across an article in a local newspaper stating that there are currently 366 million people with diabetes worldwide. I'm familiar with the data from the American Diabetes Association indicating that there are 18.8 million people in the United States who have diabetes. But the 366 million worldwide number blew me away.
After a little research, I discovered that the diabetes worldwide data came from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) — an umbrella organization of over 200 national diabetes associations in over 160 countries. The IDF's mission is to promote diabetes care, prevention and a cure worldwide.
In December 2006, the United Nations passed a resolution with the IDF to actively involve its members in diabetes care and prevention activities. The aims of the IDF are to influence policy, increase public awareness, improve health care and encourage the exchange of high-quality information on diabetes. The IDF is also associated with the World Health Organization and Pan American Health Organization.
The fifth edition of the IDF's Diabetes Atlas contains an interactive world map showing data per country. The countries with the largest number of those with diabetes are the United States, India, Brazil and China.
Diabetes affects all countries, and it's predicted that the currently 366 million who have diabetes worldwide will grow to 552 million by 2030.
It's easy to become complacent in our own little world and our busy lives, but we need to start thinking more globally. It's essential we improve at preventing and managing this disease that affects so many.
For more information on the IDF and its efforts to address diabetes worldwide, follow this link: www.idf.org

I take only 10 to 15 carbs a day and I eat GREAT. Never ever go hungry and eat a huge variety of great foods. My A1-C is down from a deadly 15.9 to 5.9. My doctor and my diabetic educators and my nurse practitioner are all amazing helpful people who are so motivated and full of great ideas. They are always there for me. I am one grateful & happier/healthier cat, than I was one year ago. It can be done. If I can get this thing under control, anybody can, believe me. And I know what I'm talking about because I am the former reigning Queen of Chips and Chocolate! Never give up! Call your diabetic educator for help right now.

Has to be more than individual's eating habits, more than just grains, too, because grains have been in human diet forever. Must be a virus or something in the water supply or genetically altered foods or something quite universal but recent.

It can't all be too many carbs and too little exercise. It has to be a virus or something in the environment: plastic bottles? Drugs in the water supply? It has to be more than individual eating habits!

Who is Susie......and what does she really want? What a negative disgruntled person. Wonder if she has diabetes? What a shriveled heart she must have. Hmmm....is that a side effect of diabetes? Be positive! Appreciate what you have! If you can't find anything positive to say, zip it! Why not spread a little sunshine, instead of your vinegar? Life is short......we're here on earth to help each other....not nit-pick all day long. Do or say something to inspire other people who are struggling with an awful disease! This blog site is helpful and informative and I, for one, appreciate it very much.

...and the point of your blog? United Nations involved since 2006 and I am just hearing of this now? Typical poor action ---close United Nations. Complacent "in our little world"----REALLY. Thinking globally---here comes your typical political slant.

Interesting that all of these countries have rice, bread, corn, and/or potatoes as their staple foods. Of course, they are cheap. But at what price? Too much carb is what brings on the whole metabolic syndrome, hyperthyroidism, and diabetes. A friend and I both have diabetes (on large quantities of insulin); starting eating less than 20 carbs a day and in less than a month have all but stopped the insulin. A1c, cholesterol, and blood pressure are improving considerably.

Reba McEntire wants to make sure that Kelly Clarkson's wedding to her stepson, Brandon Blackstock, is a family affair -- but admits that she wouldn't be surprised if the two decided to elope.
Shortly after Clarkson, 30, announced her engagement via Twitter Dec. 15, she and Blackstock, 36, called McEntire and her husband, Narvel.
PHOTOS: Love lives of 'American Idol' stars
"We were having our 'Malibu Country' cast Christmas party at our house here in L.A., and Narvel got the call from Brandon during dinner and he said, 'I'll call you right back,'" McEntire told Us of the momentous occasion. "And then we got upstairs, and each got on the phone and got to talk to both of them."
"[Clarkson] said a while back, 'Don't be surprised if we elope!' And I said, 'I will not be surprised!'" she continued.
PHOTOS: Amazing 'American Idol' makeovers
McEntire herself married husband Narvel Blackstone, Brandon's father, back in 1989, and admitted that even back then she wasn't a gal to hanker for a large wedding.
"That was never my deal, and I don't know that that's Kelly's either," she told Us. "I've had two weddings and they were both very small. Very few people. They really weren't even weddings. We had a preacher there, but that's it."
PHOTOS: Kelly Clarkson's body throughout the years
On Wednesday, McEntire and Clarkson took part in the Grammy Awards' "The World Is Listening" artist interview series, and the marriage topic naturally came up.
"@kelly_clarkson And speaking of the engagement, since you are going to be my daughter-in-law, I'm singing at the wedding, right??" McEntire tweeted.
"@reba Obviously! My request is "Let's Get It On" by Al Green. That's not awkward, right?" Clarkson joked back.
"@kelly_clarkson We may have to talk about that one later..." McEntire said.
PHOTOS: Best celebrity engagement rings of all time
This isn't the first time Clarkson has joked about having a secret wedding.
While chatting with Ellen DeGeneres in November, the former "American Idol" singer warned that she and Blackstock might buck tradition.
"Honestly, I've never been the girl to plan a wedding," she told the talk show host at the time. "We will totally, probably elope."
