White Oprah Is Looking Hot
No, of course that's not White Oprah. If it was White Oprah, she'd be bent over and one dude would be snorting a line of k (she's vintage like that) off of one ass cheek while another dude did a Thunderbird vodka shot off of the other ass cheek. It's really Nana Lohan. No, it's not Nana Lohan. Nana Lohan only wears thongs. She has the body for it. It's Lindsay Lohan!
The original Oprah's adopted child went down to Miami, because it's Art Basel time and the coke is falling from the skies so her nostrils grew wings and flew her there. But really, even though LiLo's naan bread ass looks like it's frowning at me, at least she hasn't broken a bottle over anybody's head or run over a toddler with her rental car yet. So there's that. And hopefully bitch leaves Miami soon, because all the barely legal Florida white dudes whose parents handcuffed them to the water heater in the garage to keep them away from her ass are starting to lose circulation in their wrists.

"Your total Is $4.20, Next Window Please"
Have you ever sat around eating McDonalds or Burger King and started stoner-philosophizing about why you can't supersize your 6-piece nugget combo to include jungle juice and weed? Of course you have! It's America's favorite pastime. Well, for all of you praying for the day you can get drugs in a happy meal (you can in Florida; everything comes with your choice of meth or meth) get to Georgia, because you might get lucky next time you make a burger run.
According to TMZ, 32-year-old Amy Seiber is your god today, because she was fired from her job at Wendy's after a customer called 911 to complain that she had found a half-smoked blunt in her cheeseburger:
According to police, Seiber said she had been smoking pot on the job and conveniently "misplaced" the blunt inside the customer's burger. The blunt was taken as evidence and Seiber was arrested for possession of marijuana.
We spoke to the lucky customer, who tells us she experienced food poisoning-type symptoms after the incident and had to be hospitalized.
So far, she says Wendy's has offered to help pay for her medical bills … and has even generously thrown in a $50 gift certificate. Like she'll ever eat at Wendy's ever again.
A rep for Wendy's tells TMZ, "Obviously the employee broke the rules and did not follow proper food handling steps. We are deeply sorry that this incident occurred." The rep says the franchisee is working out a favorable solution with the customer, including paying her medical bills.
You got food poisioning-like symptoms? DRAMATIC. Guess what, dum-dum, everybody gets food poisioning-like symptoms from Wendy's; has anyone ever eaten 2 Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers and fries dipped in a Frosty and not thought "Why all of a sudden do I have the overwhelming feeling that I need to make peace with my god?"
The only thing missing from this story is Her Royal Highness Princess Cheeseburger Flip-flop of Atlanta. If Florida is the reigning state of meth n' bath salts stories, then Georgia is the undefeated king of the fucked-up cheeseburger stories. Stay classy, Southern States.
And here's Amy Seiber's mugshot, which also doubles as the headshot she can bring to her Orange Is The New Black audition (her character's prison name can be Cheeseblazer):

Keri Russell And Her Husband Broke Up
People says that after 7 years of being married to each other, Keri Russell and her husband Shane Deary decided they don't want to be married to each other anymore. Somewhere, my tia who was seriously into Felicity and felt personally attacked when Keri took a Flowbee to her luscious mane of curls is saying, "Good, that's what that pendeja gets for cutting her hair a million years ago." Keri's rep told People that they've been broken up for a few months:
"They have been separated since early summer. The separation is amicable and their focus is on their children."
Keri and Shane have a 6-year-old son named River and an almost 2-year-old daughter named Willa.
Early yesterday morning, the police showed up to Keri's townhouse in Brooklyn Heights after she reported that someone broke in. Keri was asleep in a bedroom in the basement when she heard some shit going on in her living room upstairs. Keri obviously doesn't subscribe to my way of thinking (when you hear shit, play dead or run the other way), because she went upstairs to investigate. She found the front door wide open and a necklace, a laptop and a bag were missing. The cops later caught the two thieves and Keri got her stuff back.
When I read about Keri breaking up with her husband, the first thing I thought about was the break-in. Are we sure the cops got the right two dudes? Are we sure Keri's estranged husband didn't break in to mess with shit and/or steal important documents from the office? Get on this, Maureen Maher! Yes, I watch way too much 48 Hours.
Open Post: Hosted By Duchess Kate Wearing… Oh Who Cares, Nelson Mandela Died
As I was in the middle of typing that headline, Brian Williams popped up on my TV to tell me that Nelson Mandela has taken the long walk up to heaven. So who cares about the stupid dress and the stupid necklace and the stupid grey hairs that Duchess Kate wore to the premiere of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom in London tonight. Yes, she was at the Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom premiere, so I'm sure you'll hear all about this outfit again when everybody reports on what she was wearing when she found out the news while watching the movie.
I'm not the one ("You said it" – you) to write an obit about Nelson Mandela's life and his impact on humanity, so you can read a good one here.

A Scientologist Scorned: Kirstie Alley Is Still Pissed At Leah Remini
I have a theory: If you took Lindsay Lohan and put her in the machine from David Cronenberg's The Fly for 25 years with 12 Denny's Lumberjack Slams, a carton of Marlboro Reds, a handful of quaaludes, and a laserdisc copy of Battlefield Earth, you'd get Kirstie Alley. Think about it.
Kirstie Alley (aka Future Lindsay Lohan) was on Howard Stern's radio show yesterday to promote her new television show Kirstie (the logo of which looks like it was created in an alternate-reality where Britney Spears is a graphic designer) and, like it does every time you talk to a Scientologist, the conversation ran a red light and sped onto the L. Ron Memorial Freeway. Howard was only throwing softball questions at Kirstie, so he didn't ask her about Shelly Miscavige (ie. Where she at, boo?) but he did bring up ex-Scientolo'ho and Kirstie's former BFFTXDUP (best friends forever till Xenu do us part) Leah Remini:
Howard Stern: "No one cares that she's left Scientology. Are you upset with her that she's being so fucking vocal and critical about it? Or you don't care?"
Rebecca from Cheers: "First of all, I just want everyone to know that I have hundreds of friends who have come into Scientology and left Scientology. You're not shunned, you're not chased. All that stuff's bullishit. However, when you are generalizing and when your goal is to malign and to say things about an entire group, when you decide to blanket statement that Scientology is evil, you are my enemy."
She also said that she stopped following Leah on Twitter. Oooh, did you hear that? Alert the authorities, SHOTS FIRED!
The interview is way too long (you could watch 3 episodes of Unwrapped instead. And you should; there is so much to learn about Tootsie Pop Drops) so here is the TL:DR version:
- Kirstie first got interested in Scientology after she saw Porsches outside the Scientology building (always a good reason to join a
scary cultrespected religion)- She read Dianetics while snorting a Kirstie Alley-sized mountain of coke
- There is a comparison made between anti-Semitism and anti-Scientology. Kanye… is that you??
- Kirstie fell in love with John Travolta on the set of Look Who's Talking and they used to – wait for it – "sit around, doing skits" together. I'm imagining every skit involved putting on black bouffant wigs and re-creating the end scene from Mermaids (John: "I call Cher!!!")
She also answers questions about being fat, plastic surgery, pills, girl-on-girl and masturbation (NO HOWARD, NEVER) all the while sounding like she's finishing her 4th Flying Gorilla at The Cheesecake Factory. Oh Kirstie, never fucking change.
Here's more of Kirstie in New York invested in enough Spanx to keep them high on the NASDAQ till the world ends:
The Best Actress Oscar For 2015 Is A Lock!
Dear Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence and all the other actresses who think they have a shot at the Best Actress Oscar in 2015, use your campaign money to buy a cup of the sweet nectar to drown your sorrows in, because the category is closed and no submissions will be accepted. The 2014 Oscars haven't even happened yet, but the Academy is already engraving Spaz de la Huerta's name on a 2015 Best Actress trophy after seeing her riveting, game-changing and ALIVE performance in the trailer for Nurse 3D. Not since Lumiere in Beauty in the Beast has a melting candle delivered such powerful emotion onscreen. I don't know if Nurse 3D is actually in 3D or if they're referring to Spaz's multi-dimensional performance which jumps out of the screen, holds you down and leaves Vaseline skid marks all over your face.
Nurse 3D is like Single White Female meets Fatal Attraction meets Basic Instinct meets Sophie's Choice (I'm referring to Spaz's luminous and emotion-stirring performance which critics will compare to Meryl's). In Nurse 3D, Spaz plays a greasy wax mannequin who comes to life (I made that part up, I think), becomes a nurse and stalks her bland blonde co-worker played by Katrina Bowden. Somewhere in there, Nurse Spaz also seduces cheating men and murders them. It also stars Kathleen Turner, Judd Nelson and that kid from High School Musical and Dancing with the No Stars. I don't think I'm being at all crazy or ridiculous when I say that this is going to be the greatest movie that ever happened!
Here's the future Oscar winner looking like the bloated, oily calla lily she is while leaving a store with her man in L.A. the other night. Her man is totally a poet by day and a 1970s serial killer by night.

It Was Love At First Sight For Tom Daley
Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black have both kept their mouth lips shut about whether or not they're boning each other, but Tom did talk about his new boyfriend on an episode of Jonathan Ross Show (via E!) airing in the UK on Saturday. I thank the fuck that I was too lazy at 19 to keep a journal, because the shit that I wrote would've been a million times cheesier than the words that spilled out of this hairless muscle otter's mouth while talking about meeting his new love. Tom said that when he first saw his future piece at a party, he didn't know he was gay and immediately started squirting out hearts from his eyes.
"I'd never felt like anything like it before. We were at a party and I hadn't even spoken to him all night. I didn't know what to do or if he was gay at first. I typed 'call me' in his notes with a smiley face on this phone and the next day he texted. He makes me feel safe and happy. Right now I couldn't be happier. I'd never felt the feeling of love. It happened so quickly. I was completely overwhelmed by it to the point I can't get him out of my head all the time. I've never had it before where I love someone and they love me just as much."
Oh, 19. Or if your name is Taylor Swift, oh, every age. Speaking of Taylor Swift, she just ripped a page out of the Poochie notebook she writes her lyrics in, because what Tom said there is exactly what she wrote down as the lyrics to her next song. Even that part about not knowing if he was gay at first, because even Taylor Swift knows she's a closet gay magnet.
Tom went on to say that when he goes to the labels section at Staples and browses through all the "Hello, I Am Gay," "Hello, I Am Straight" and "Hello, I Am Bi" labels, he doesn't pick up any of them, because he doesn't believe in labels! But he does believe in love and he said more vommy words of love about his man.
"He saved me from not wanting to dive anymore. After the Olympics I was down in the dumps, as it's such a hard way to get back into everything, but he gave me the extra motivation and made me work harder and that is exactly what I need. It was a terrifying decision to make, I didn't know what the reaction was going to be like, I didn't know how it was going to go but I felt I needed to say something. I wanted to say something in my own words and from the heart, I didn't know what else to do."
Tom Daley was totally over diving until Dustin Lance Black put the champion spirit back in his heart by spreading those ass cheeks and calling him the greatest diver who ever lived as he dove his peen into that b-hole. (Yes, I just called Tom Daley a top again. What is going on with me?!) Some people have serious thoughts about this. They think that because DLB is 39 and Tom is 19, DLB is nothing but a chickenhawk in Justin Bieber 2010 hair who is going to toss Tom Daley into a pile of de-creamed twinks as soon as that kid grows his second pube. I say second because the first one could be a one-off. And those same people are scared that DLB is going to suck out Tom's innocence. Whatever. I mean, isn't doing older dudes at 19 all part of life? Who at 19 didn't troll hotel bars looking for older men to take you up to their room and let you pick out any booze of bottle you wanted from the minibar? Anybody? Anybody? Oh shit, just me then.
Here's Tom going to dinner with his friends in London last night.

For nine seasons, "Top Chef" has entertained audiences with its daunting cooking challenges and fierce competition in the kitchen. While some watch to see how chefs' egos clash, others enjoy watching them transform simple ingredients into tasty masterpieces. The show has even produced a few spin-offs for master chefs, all stars, desserts and a holiday special. But nothing is as good as the original. For the 10th season, the "cheftestants" head to Seattle for the first time, a city that is known for seafood and creative cuisine. Padma Lakshmi is back as host. Wolfgang Puck joins the judging panel with Tom Colicchio, Gail Simmons, Hugh Acheson and Emeril Lagasse. The series also will bring back the popular online-only "Top Chef: Last Chance Kitchen," which will feature a showdown between eliminated contestants. The prize for winning? Competing in the finale, a twist that has proven to be unpopular with the chefs who earned a spot in the finalewithoutgetting eliminated first. 10 p.m. Bravo. "Last Chance Kitchen" can be seen at BravoTV.com.
Raise your hand if you're guilty of seeking a work diversion that involves cute animal photos. Go ahead. I promise not to tell. One of the more popular purveyors of these awesomely adorable and funny cat photos is ICanHas Cheezburger.com. The website is responsible for creating LOLCats, which are pictures of cats with goofy captions that often are misspelled. Bravo is bringing its cameras to Cheezburger, the Seattle-based company responsible for the website. The question is this: Can filming people writing silly captions be as amusing as reading the captions themselves? 11 p.m. Bravo
Heads up, talented folks. "America's Got Talent" is set to find contestants for next summer's eighth season.

Settled in the early 18th century, Caldwell, N.J., was one of the first communities created by Europeans making their way out of Newark and New York. Designated as Caldwell Township in 1798, Caldwell is now officially called a borough. It still retains its historic charm, boasting early American architecture, mature trees and pleasant greenery.
Although it is technically considered a suburb of both New York City and Newark, Caldwell evolved prior to suburban sprawl as an independent borough. It's urban design, architecture and community center were shaped long before those of most suburbs, giving Caldwell a unique and charming appearance that is difficult to find in modern suburban cities. Additionally, 51.3 percent of homes in Caldwell are renter-occupied, making it a great market for those searching for Caldwell apartments for rent.
A discussion of Caldwell wouldn't be complete without mentioning its political roots. Most famously, Caldwell was the birthplace of the 22nd and 24th president of the United States, Grover Cleveland. The borough was also the scene of the Horse Neck Riots of the 1740s, one of the first examples of American challenges of British authority.
With a population of just 7,822, this charming small town is located 23 miles from New York City and 14 miles from Newark. It's charming village feel and historic landscapes make it easy to forget that it is part of the New York metro. Connected to other parts of the area by NJ Transit and DeCamp buses, Caldwell is accessible, relatively convenient and truly quaint.
Historic Downtown Caldwell is still a site of business to this day. Various shops, restaurants, stores and entertainment venues line Bloomfield Avenue, while housing can be found just around the corner. Residents also enjoy a community center, a farmers market and public library.
Caldwell residents are privy to one of the most comprehensive recreation programs in New Jersey. Parks, recreational facilities, program and kids' activities make Caldwell a great place to raise a family.
Although Caldwell is not home to any major universities or colleges, numerous opportunities exist within 10 miles of the borough. Montclair State University, Seton Hall University, Berkeley College, Passaic County Community College, William Paterson University of New Jersey and Rutgers University are all located within short distance of Caldwell.
Established as a bedroom community since the post-War era, Caldwell is home to many commuters. The majority of residents commute to Newark, New York City or other surrounding cities. Caldwell's population decreases by about 17.4 percent during working hours. However, many of the city's residents are local business owners and tradesmen.
Those searching for Caldwell rentals will be happy to discover its rental rate of more than 50 percent. Caldwell's median gross rent in 2010 was $1,298, according to U.S. Census data.
Incoming residents should also be aware of Caldwell's relatively high cost of living, compared with the rest of the nation. The cost of living index in Caldwell is 120.1, which is 20.1 percent higher than the national average. However, Caldwell's living costs are fairly representative of the New York City metro area.
Grover Cleveland is Caldwell's greatest claim to fame, so two of Caldwell's major attractions are centered on the late former U.S. President. Grover Cleveland's birthplace was built in 1832, and was then the pastor's residence for the Presbyterian Church at Caldwell. The house opened to the public as a museum in 1913. Grover Cleveland Park is also located in Caldwell, and is an attractive area for both locals and visitors to relax and enjoy some fun in the sun.

Frantz, Jose M. (Stellenbosch University, 2006)[more][less]
Abstract: This study aimed to determine the physical activity levels and existence of risk factors associated with chronic diseases of lifestyle among high school learners. A crosssectional research design was used to obtain information about physical activity levels from 951 learners from two high schools in a local community in the Western Province of South Africa. Physical activity levels were obtained using the KUOPIO Ischaemic Heart Disease 24-hour physical activity record over a seven-day period. Anthropometrical and blood pressure measurements as well as behaviours including cigarette smoking and alcohol use were recorded as risk factors for chronic diseases of lifestyle. Statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (2000). Risk factors were identified as obesity, physical inactivity, smoking and hypertension. Variance of analysis (ANOVA) was used to statistically determine differences in groups. The results indicated that 32% of the learners were classified as being physically inactive and that 21% engaged in health risk behaviours. In addition, 35% of the learners had more than one risk factor for chronic diseases of lifestyle present. Since cardiovascular risk factors have been shown to persist into adulthood, health professionals should assume some responsibility for the prevention, detection, and intervention relevant to cardiovascular risk factors in adolescents.

Abstract: In the Western Cape, learners with physical disabilities are accepted into ordinary schools (a school that is not a special school) as a part of the inclusive education initiative. This article reports on a survey designed to determine the types of sports that are available for learners with physical disabilities in ordinary public primary schools and the factors influencing their participation in sport. The study sample included 31 learners with physical disabilities (learners with movement or mobility difficulties or who used an assistive device) attending seven ordinary public primary schools, one teacher from each school and one teacher from each of eight conveniently selected special schools. Three questionnaires were used, one for the learners, another for the teachers at the ordinary schools and the third for the teachers at the special schools. Analysis was done using SPSS Version 15. The main findings of the study were that 32% (n=10) of learners participated in sports. They were expected to participate in the type of sports that were already offered at the school. No adapted sport was offered specifically for these learners. Most learners wanted to participate in swimming. Fewer types of sports were offered in ordinary schools than in special schools. Barriers to participation included poor teacher preparation and inadequate financial support. The shortage of support from school staff, occupational therapists and physiotherapists in addition to inadequate financial support needs to be addressed by the Department of Basic Education and Department of Sport and Recreation to enable the learners to participate in sports at ordinary schools.

What is the difference between Elgato and Roxio Easy VHS to DVD (Mac)
I have found a similar product "Roxio Easy VHS to DVD (Mac)" that claims to do a similar job to the Elgato in terms of capturing AV (Vhs) video but is £30 cheaper. Is there any additional benefits to the Elgato worth the additional cost?

Best AnswerThe Elgato-branded device outputs MPEG-4 video, while the Roxio device outputs MPEG-2 files (the same format as commercial DVDs).

Best Answer
The red input on the elgato is for the right hand stereo channel , if your video has just yellow and white output then these are the video output and one channel mono sound output , just connect these up and ignore the red and this will function properly.

Is this compatible with the QTKit Framework ?
I'm a developper and I am working on an application that is already using the QTKit Framework to get video feed from webcams. I want to change the input device for a more sophisticated camera that only outputs with Composites.
Is this device compatible with QTKit so I don't need to change to code to be able to record what's comming from the new camera system?- Asked by Benoit L from Mascouche

Will the Elgato work with a 1996 JVC GR-AX 94 camcorder? It has a white and yellow outlet. I want to transfer the video to my iMac OS 10.8.2 MLion
- Asked by Mary S from Conyers
- Nov 27, 2012

AnswerI haven't used this capture device yet, but there is no reason why it shouldn't work. Your camcorder has a composite video output (yellow) and a mono audio output (white), which should be accepted by the Elgato capture.

Best AnswerYou'll need cables to connect your VCR (or whatever video source you're using) to the Video Capture. These can be standard RCA video and audio cables, or s-video and RCA audio, depending on your source devices outputs.

Can I use the Elgato hardware/software system to capture audio from cassette tapes as well as video/audio from home videos and VHS tapes??
If the Elgato system is not applicable, what is available to capture just audio, for use on my iPhone via my Mac? Thanks!
- Asked by Peter S from Austin
- Oct 17, 2009
- Flag as inappropriate
Best AnswerNo, the Video Capture is designed to capture video and audio. It's not suitable for audio-only captures.
But for capturing audio, you don't need a separate device. All Macs have audio inputs so you can just connect your audio device to the Mac's input and use QuickTime Player or GarageBand to capture the sound.

can I capture audio-only (cassette deck, phono turntable)?
- Asked by George C from Denver
- Apr 28, 2010
- Flag as inappropriate
Best AnswerNote that you'll need to use a pre-amp if capturing from turntable. The signals are too weak to do basic line-in recording. If you're just interested in capturing audio you can just run RCA out on your device to the 1/8" stereo "line in" on your computer & record using Garage Band, or any other audio recording software. Adapters are cheap.
USB turntables are another option.- Answered by Rob G R from Kitchener

Robin van Persie was just sold to Manchester United for £24 million. Thoughts on this and the upcoming season?
Yes I understand the Buckeyes are in camp right now, but the EPL's season starts in 3 days so it is more exciting at this point in time.
•Football Schedule•Basketball Schedule•Forum•About•ContactAs a Man U fan, I couldn't be more excited. Getting Kagawa and now RVP is a huge upgrade in the ability of the team to threaten opposing teams. The hard part is getting a solid MF and backline in place. Kagawa helps in the attack, but the decline of Ferdinand is a huge hole to fill, and Vidic needs to be solid again. Still, a great time to be a Man U fan. Hope we can beat City this year, though.
RVP is a great player, but not a classic Man Utd player; he seems flighty and easily injured. He's also relatively old, 29, and you wonder whether they'll get more than two whole seasons out of him. I also wonder at the number of strikers on the team: RVP, Rooney, Berbatov (if he's not sold), Welbeck, Henriquez, Chicharito, Macheda, and Powell. They've brought in three strikers just this summer, but with Rooney and RVP taking up playing time, you wonder at how they'll develop the younger ones. I would have preferred a complete central-midfielder to complement Kagawa, Carrick, Clerverly, and Anderson (Fletcher just can't be depended on, Giggs and Scholes can't be depended on for much longer), but what do I know?
"Paralyze resistance with persistence." -Woody Hayes
Another brilliant post from Buckeyejason, I can tell he was a football jock in high school that thought he was awesome. But about the comment, I am a big Arsenal fan so this really blows. I obviously knew he wasn't coming back to Arsenal but going to ManU hurts a lot, I expect Rooney and Van Persie to score a crazy amount of goals and puts ManU as a favorite now.
@SARASO, good luck to your team this year (except, of course, against Man Utd). It's always better when New Castle and, oddly enough, Leeds are contending for a title (although Leeds is out of it permanently, I fear); I love my old hatreds the most. Can't stand Premier League new boys Chelsea (and to a certain extent Citeh), but in a different way than Arsenal, Liverpool, New Castle, and Leeds.
"Paralyze resistance with persistence." -Woody Hayes
As galling as it is to lose to Barca every year, I can't say that they do it the wrong way; they have a fabulous youth program -- so good that they can't even take all of the top flight players that come out of it. I really just wish that Man Utd had one midfielder that could run Xavi down and take those games by the throat. What would they give for a young Roy Keane (or even a young Gattuso).

We are so happy to know we are your go-to shoes for work. Thank you for this great review and we hope these last just as long as your other pair, too!
Sized as Expected
Wear to work
Always loved Merrell shoes and this particular model is sleek and well crafted but oddly gave me blisters which has never happened before with any previous purchases, bought this over world legend because the latter was squeaky, can't seem to enjoy this new pair as a result of blisters. I'd still recommend this pair as it works with a lot of different occasions, and it doesn't squeak :)
The leather may need to be slightly broken in. So, we would recommend wearing a little thicker of a sock to start with if you are having these issues. Once they get broken in you should be good to go!

IRS Publication 1771, Charitable Contributions–Substantiation and Disclosure Requirements
explains the federal tax law for organizations such as charities and churches that receive tax-deductible charitable contributions and for taxpayers who make contributions.
Community foundations occasionally hear this request from donors of advised funds and organizations that have established designated funds or agency endowments. This column discusses why the proper answer is a firm "no"—and some polite ways to communicate the community foundation's policies.
Most states have registration and/or reporting laws that apply to nonprofit organizations soliciting contributions within the state. Information about registration is available through individual states or the Multi-State Filer Project.
The Pension Protection Act of 2006 modifies the requirements for obtaining a charitable deduction for a contribution to a donor-advised fund.
Donors and advisors are prohibited from receiving more than incidental benefits from grants made from their advised funds. Penalties apply to those who receive a prohibited benefit, to those who recommend the grant, and, in some situations, to fund managers who approve the recommendation.

A few months ago I was bemoaning the fact that I had no birds in my garden and that I thought our renovations had scared them off. Well.............the pigeons are certainly back with a vengence!!
Yesterday I planted some chard seedlings and a few leeks into a plastic growbed thingy (which is divided into 9 sections like a square foot gardening bed) on the patio. I filled the rest of the space with seeds.
I went indoors and had my dinner, came outside for the dog to have a wee....................dirt everywhere, seedlings either missing or wilfully destructed!!! I can only think it was the blasted pigeons!!! I have no idea if any of the seeds were taken, hopefully not! When i replant I shall be covering it with something.
Those pigeons have radar.....they sit in the trees and coooo at all their family to come join them for dinner!!!
This morning I had the pleasure of watching a Kestrel in airborne combat with a young pigeon over our back garden - and take him down. I appreciate not for the squeamish - but fantastic to see!
They're all up there watching and just waiting for you to turn your back. Hurrah for the Kestrel!
It couldn't have been a cat could it - nice soft soil perfect for a cat toilet!
and being a cat makes it alright? I don't think so eeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuurk
In our back garden the pigeons and doves just sit and watch the sparrows do all the damage. However on the allotment the pigeons are evil - love em/hate em.
It wasn't a cat, there aren't any round here and those that do venture around are swiftly dispatched by our labrador!! There are loads of pigeons at the moment but I think it may also have been blackbirds as I have seen them throwing dirt about before.
On closer inspection the damage wasn't as bad as I first thought and nothing has touched it since.

After cutting his teeth by making music on various archaic computers and programs in his early years, Nosaj Thing is now, without a doubt, among L.A.'s finest musical modulators. His electronic soundscapes and wild beat tectonics play like vignettes that affect the listener's mind as deeply as he hits their soul. Nosaj Thing creates nothing less than the sound mastery of beat driven, experimental electronics from a gifted noise constructor.
His debut album Drift was released by Alpha Pup in June 2009 to unanimous global acclaim. Pitchfork awarded an excellent 7.9 rating, calling the album "gorgeously haunted... sonic Easter Eggs for a thousand listens." The album peaked at 5 on the iTunes Electronic chart, and went all the way to 1 on Bleep and Boomkat. The success of Drift led to Nosaj Thing being featured in magazines such as Spin, Fader, XLR8R, The New Yorker, Nylon and URB. He has received regular airplay on BBC Radio 1 and Los Angeles' KCRW, while his engaging live set has made him a staple of the worldwide underground touring circuit.

On Wednesday's edition of the Katie Couric talk show, Klum said she "never looked at another man" while she and Seal were together. But more recently, she and the family's bodyguard of four years have gotten to know each other "from a completely different side."
Klum chose not to call their connection a relationship, saying, "it's just started." She called him "a great man."
Seal criticized Klum for having a relationship with the man before their divorce was final.
The 39-year-old supermodel and TV star filed for divorce from Seal earlier this year after seven years of marriage. They have four children.

Take the role of a medic officer on the field, performing new-found surgical techniques. Perform four different surgeries using 11 different tools. Get your patient drunk with alcohol to numb the pain, then go at it! Similiar to Trauma Center, if you ever played those games (which I recommend :)). This game is extremely violent, so heed the several warnings please.

*This game is processor intensive. It may lag at times, but note it'll be okay. If it isn't, then change the quality during one of your surgeries.

Awesome game!
The concept behind this game is so awesome! Very immersive and innovative. I love how everything's exploding in the background, the patient screams, etc. So cool.
However, I seem to have a problem when I select the bandages - nothing comes up? So I'm kinda stuck there. It's too bad, 'cos I would have liked to continue playing.
But, despite that error, it's really cool.

The Dominion Insitute's Democracy Project is trying to encourage young people to take an interest in the election campaign through an initiative called Youth Text 2008. It's a simple plan: connect young people to the political parties via text messaging.
Youth Text 2008 provides SMS short-codes for the four main national parties (all registered parties were invited, the insitute says), so young people can send questions directly to the parties from their cellphones - and get an answer within 24 hours. Texting the word "party" signs the user up to receive regular information and alerts from the party and the opportunity to take part in electronic polls.
The codes are:
Conservatives 898272 (TXTCPC)
Greens 898476 (TXTGRN)
Liberals 898542 (TXTLIB)
(The service is free, but standard text message charges would apply - check your cellphone plan.)
The Dominion Institute is a charitable organization founded in 1997 to promote civic participation and knowledge of Canadian history through such initiatives as the Memory Project, which preserves the stories of Canada's war veterans.
But for all the institute's work in attracting the attention of young people, it released a sobering survey today showing that fewer eligible young people intend to vote in this election than in 2006, when only 44 per cent of peoplevoters under age 24 actually cast a vote.
MORE (WE MISSED IT THE FIRST TIME): The parties' attempts to reach voters through new media conduits is failing, according to another Dominion Institute survey that Political Decoder Linda Diebel wrote about last week. Just 9 per cent of respondents said the parties had reached out to voters through social networking tools such as Facebook and Twitter, according to the survey. Certainly most of the parties, with the exception of the Conservatives, were slow off the mark in adopting the new media approaches in this election - but that has changed over the course of the campaign. Maybe this is the campaign that gets the parties over the hump - strange as it may be to have to say that in 2008.

Form and Content (Masterplots II: Juvenile & Young Adult Biography Series)
As Sterling North's Thoreau of Walden Pond reveals, the stoic New Englander Henry David Thoreau was truly unique, both as a philosopher in his age and as a historical figure in modern times. The true measure of Thoreau's success is seen through the considerable influence that he has had on scores of American scholars and leaders, from poet Walt Whitman to civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr. To that end, North liberally incorporates into the biography Thoreau's own lively and vivid prose, primarily from Walden: Or, Life in the Woods (1854) but also from such lesser-known but equally valuable works as A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849) and The Maine Woods (1864). This technique gives young readers a personal view of Thoreau's philosophy and encourages them to delve into the author's original works. Without such lively and stimulating prose examples, it would perhaps be difficult to justify a biography on an individual who, at least according to modern standards, accomplished little in his life. North shows through Thoreau's prose, however, that Thoreau actually was living according to his (and all of humankind's) true nature, which gives "a sense of peace and well-being."
Thoreau lived in one of American history's most intellectual communities: nineteenth century Concord, Massachusetts. He was friends with many of the authors and philosophers associated with the movement called...

Born on July 12, 1817, Thoreau lived in one of the most intellectual communities of any era in American history, mid-nineteenth-century Concord, Massachusetts. He was friends with many of the authors and philosophers associated with the movement called New England transcendentalism, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson Alcott, William Ellery Charming, and Margaret Fuller.
Emerson, Thoreau's friend and mentor, is considered the father of New England transcendentalism, which championed nature over the city, the individual over the masses, and intuition over reason. Although Thoreau's literary philosophy is distinctly his own, it reflects the ideas of the transcendentalists. North emphasizes the influence of nature on Thoreau, describing the beauty and splendor of the region surrounding Concord, specifically Walden Pond. North also provides vivid descriptions of the Maine wilderness, where Thoreau developed into an ardent naturalist and conservationist.
(The entire section is 133 words.)
Literary Qualities
Perhaps the greatest literary value of Thoreau of Walden Pond is that it covers Thoreau's entire life. The biography does not concentrate on the circumstances surrounding the composition of Thoreau's greatest work, Walden, but instead devotes considerable space to Thoreau's journey up the Concord and Merrimack rivers, his Harvard education, and his journeys to the Maine wilderness toward the end of his relatively short life. Such an overview of Thoreau's life is vital to an understanding of his work, for Thoreau's personal beliefs and experiences have a particularly profound effect on his writing.
In Thoreau of Walden Pond, North incorporates lively, crisp prose and succinct paragraphs that make even relatively complex ideas or situations easy to grasp. To further liven the narrative, North makes frequent use of quotations from Walden, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, and Thoreau's fascinating journals.
The life and works of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thoreau's friend, occasional employer, and frequent philosophical model, play an important part in North's biography. From the prefatory poem to the excerpt from the transcendentalist's great funeral oration for his friend, simply entitled Thoreau," the biography takes great pains to depict the influence that Emerson has on Thoreau.
(The entire section is 198 words.)
Social Sensitivity
A few of North's remarks in the book seem directed exclusively to young males, but this does not occur so frequently that readers of both sexes cannot relate to Thoreau's life and philosophy. Thoreau was a man of great conscience who was deeply concerned with the ills that plagued the society of his day, and North objectively and thoroughly recounts his subject's responses to social problems, particularly Thoreau's involvement in the abolitionist movement. North portrays Thoreau's love of solitude not so much as antisocial behavior but as evidence of his strong bond with the natural world. Overall, readers should find a positive example in Thoreau's strong principles and abiding respect for the worth of the individual.
(The entire section is 116 words.)
Topics for Discussion
1. Why do you think that Thoreau is considered not merely a great American writer, but also a great American?
2. Describe Thoreau's personality. Is he an outcast? An introvert? Antisocial? How does Thoreau's personality match his ideas concerning humankind's relationship with nature?
3. Is Thoreau wrong in not paying the poll tax? Is such "civil disobedience" justified and perhaps even necessary in certain situations? Explain. Can you think of any individuals in more recent history who have taken similar stances against what they felt was the infringement of government on their personal lives?
4. Why does Thoreau "abandon" civilization for almost two years and live at Walden Pond? What does he learn from the experience? What does he propose in Walden concerning nature? Economy? Materialism? Individualism?
5. Thoreau's attitude toward the killing of wild animals is unique for his time. Why does he object to such activity? Does Thoreau believe that there are situations in which hunting is justified? Explain.
(The entire section is 156 words.)
Ideas for Reports and Papers
1. What was Thoreau's philosophy toward humankind's interaction with nature? Was nature a resource to be used to benefit humankind or was it something to be left alone, spared of all human intervention?
2. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote a short philosophical book entitled Nature. Emerson and Thoreau shared many similar ideas concerning human interaction with nature. What examples of Emersonian philosophy as depicted in Nature can you find in Thoreau's own life?
3. Prepare a short biography on one or two of Thoreau's Concord friends, such as Bronson Alcott, Nathaniel Hawthorne, or Ralph Waldo Emerson. How did they differ from Thoreau in their attitudes and way of life? How were they similar?
4. Thoreau wrote poetry as well as prose. Select a few of his poems, decide on the main idea in each, and find similar ideas in Walden or A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. Suggested poems: "My Prayer," "The Inward Morning," "The Summer Rain," "Inspiration," and "The Fall of the Leaf."
5. Read Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail" and compare King's and Thoreau's ideas on civil disobedience.

Private Power and Public Safety
Recognizing that private standards cannot be dismissed as "voluntary" leads directly to larger concerns about the coercive use of private
power. As Grant McConnell argued in Private Power and American Democracy, it is "unreasonable to assert that private associations are both important to general policy and yet so unimportant that their political life may be ignored."[21] McConnell described as "orthodoxy" an "unstable amalgam of very different ideas" favoring the exercise of private power in America. While that "orthodoxy" certainly favors the basic elements of a vibrant market economy—McConnell wrote about the modern corporation, agriculture, and labor—the argument does not carry over to private safety standards. There is tremendous skepticism about private regulation in this country.
First, the United States has a strong legal tradition that embodies a liberty-based concern for the protection of individual interests against the exercise of "police powers." The legitimacy afforded private action in the business world, where social arrangements are more consensual than coercive, simply does not extend to actions perceived as "regulatory." Concerns about the due process of private standards-setting are widespread. These concerns were fundamental to the FTC's effort to regulate private standards-setters. Lacking the constitutional order of public government, these groups appear particularly vulnerable to Robert Michels's "iron law of oligarchy"—the tendency of organizational leaders to acquire and promote interests different from those of their members.[22] The tendency of private organizations to develop "internally nondemocratic and bureaucratic structures" is "generally accepted as fact by social scientists."[23] Although the FTC did not adopt the process-based regulations, it retains legal jurisdiction, and its attorneys retain heightened interest, in pursuing complaints concerning private abuses of due process.[24]
The second argument against private standards is more substantive. The political critique of pluralism suggests that when private groups dominate the policymaking process, the results are rarely (if ever) in the public interest. "The most entrenched, the best organized, and frequently the oldest" interests are likely to benefit most from the resulting policies.[25] This criticism need not imply bad motives or exclusionary practices on the part of private standards-setters. Even organizations that encourage participation of various groups are unlikely to hear from some interests. The "logic of collective action" suggests that consumer and other diffuse interests will often be underrepresented, whatever the forum.[26] These interests might be galvanized effectively (but temporarily) by a catastrophe, but in the long run the concentrated interests of the regulated are likely to prevail.
The argument is familiar in the public sector, where agencies are often thought to favor the interests of the regulated. Based on observations about the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Civil Aeronautics Board, and the Federal Communications Commission, for example, Grant McConnell argued in 1966 that "accommodation" with private interest groups tends to "eliminate public values from effective political consideration."[27]
Theodore Lowi has argued more recently that the "parceling out" of public policymaking to private interests is "co-optive" and destructive of public values. Private safety standards appear to be the ultimate extension of this phenomenon. Lacking the presence of outside interests, private regulatory institutions seem nothing more than a variation of the fox guarding the chicken coop. Lowi makes specific reference to private standards in the second edition of The End of Liberalism, condemning these arrangements as "prime examples of the continuation and reinforcement of 1960s liberalism applied to public policy."[28]

Teamviewer: Easily control other computers from across the world
November 16, 2011 38 Email article | Print articleControlling other people's computers from far away sounds daunting, doesn't it? Well it's not. Teamviewer is a great–and free–application for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X that makes screensharing a snap (and two numbers). I needed to help a friend set up an application, and I just couldn't figure it out over Facebook chat. I persuaded him to download the app (always make sure you have the other person's permission before connecting to their screen), and within minutes I had it done for him!
You'll notice that in the screenshot above, I'm running Firefox… on Ubuntu…. inside Windows! It is simply a remote connection (from 3 feet away).
The install
On Windows, Teamviewer can either be installed or used as a portable application. As I didn't want it to be too complicated I simply had him run it as a portable application.
As long as you agree to the terms and conditions, just click Next and accept said terms and conditions. Then, the app will open.
Now you can use Teamviewer, as explained below (the section on installing it on Ubuntu)!
The install… on Ubuntu
The Ubuntu install is not one of those "it's really hard" things. In fact, I'd say it's about as easy as it is to install any application on Windows, if not anything. You simply go to their site and click on the download button, just like you would on any Windows computer:
There are of course multiple downloads, but it's easy to spot the one we're looking for: the one for Ubuntu, 32-bit. Just download the file and open it (it'll open in GDebi Package Installer):
The package will open as soon as it's done downloading:
You'll notice that Ubuntu has a universal installer–which is definitely a big step up from Windows, where it could be home-baked, it could be InstallShield, or who knows! Plus, applications on Linux can be installed from the command line or from the GUI!
Simply click the Install button up in the top right corner–you'll need admin privileges, so enter your password when prompted.
If you're a Terminal fan, you can see exactly what it's doing in Terminal by expanding the Terminal button.
Once it's done installing, just close the installer. Go to the Internet section of your menu–since I'm using Netbook Edition for its really cool interface, I'll just go to the tab about halfway down the screen; but it's in the Internet tab for most Ubuntu users.
If you're on Netbook Edition, you can add it to your favorites like I did.
You may be wondering why I said installing applications in Ubuntu was so easy if I had to give a hundred word explanation, but think about it-I just told you how to install most pieces of precompiled software!
The use
TeamViewer has four functions: the first is to remotely control a computer (called remote support), the second to show other people your current screen (called presentation), the third file transfer, and the last VPN. Unfortunately the Ubuntu beta only has the last three, and in my tests I couldn't get the file transfer to work.
Remote Control
The first, and probably most useful, function is remote control. To use it, you'll need the ID number and the password from the other person whose screen you want to control. Just enter the ID from one box into the ID box in another….
and click the connect button. You'll be prompted for the password:
and you're connected! Now you can do things like control the other person's computer and even take videos and things using the built in tools! (I was going to take a video of me controlling the other computer, but my Acer laptop overheated–which goes to show it handles dropped connections gracefully.)
You'll notice in the picture above (also at the top of the article) I'm controlling my Ubuntu box from my Windows box. (The red text overlay is not from Teamviewer, it's from the screenshot app.)
Teamviewer supports transmitting Mic audio, recording screens remotely, and changing the remote screen quality for smaller bandwidths.
For presenting, I presented my Ubuntu machine onto my Windows machine. Just go to the main Teamviewer window and enter the ID number of the computer you're presenting to. The ID numbers do not change from session to session, so I won't be sharing the ID # of my Windows machine. Simply enter the password:
and click on the Log On button. You'll notice that on the remote computer it tells you the status of the connection–for instance, it said Awaiting Authentication on the Windows box.
Now if I move the mouse or type something in or the screen otherwise changes on my Ubuntu box, the change is mirrored onto the Windows box.
If you click on something on the presented-to box (here, the Windows box), it'll make an odd cursor on the presented box (the Ubuntu box) that indicates someone is wondering about an area. It's perfect for asking about something over the VOIP capabilities available under the Audio/Video menu.
Final Words
Even with the Linux version in beta, Teamviewer is still a great piece of software that will have a wide range of uses, from helping someone remotely to transferring files to a friend or relative. It's great for helping friends with software problems as I mentioned earlier and I see no reason to not have this great piece of software installed. The only reason I see to not have this is because once you have it, your less technology-savvy friends may be asking you for help more and more. In fact, I like this software so much I featured it as #3 in my top 10 favorite pieces of software I've reviewed on Cogizio.

Any words on this for VPN use? I need to set up VPN on my laptop (for use with public Wifi, at the library, etc.), and would be interested in this software for that as well. Thanks–
26I must concur that this is a great piece of SW. I stumble on it by chance a while ago. I was losing my sanity trying to help my sister (in another state) it was if I was working in the dark.
I use it all the time to help here learn to dl music, burn cd and even dl SW and install it. I let her drive and I watch and guide her. I used it as recently as last nite.
So if **I** can use it to guide her, (she is still asking what is the "any key" ROFL.
I will try one of the other suggestions from above. I like having more than one way to skin a cat. (not literally.)
Thanks Locutus :)
27This the most if not the best remote access of all ! been using Teamviewer for almost 2 yrs now and helping friends around the world…2 THUMBS UP !!!
29@ebony: Thanks for the info. as to the VPN "complications"–was hoping that this software could double for that, but perhaps best not.
You may also want to try this http://www.ammyy.com or http://mikoqo.com
The first Ammyy Admin v3 is a bit easier as it doesn't require installation, registration
and specific settings adjustments. It works behind gateways NAT without port mapping. Good
alternative though.31I have installed teamviewer, so someone I know very well can help me at times if I need any as he is a computer Guru.
I have a pre-determed password and ID which the other knows, does that mean he could at any time access my pc without me knowing this, perhaps while I am doing work?
Thanks.32@sailor: I believe that would only happen if you leave Teamviewer left up all the time. If instead you just turn it off when it's not in use you should be fine.
33I just started to use TeamViewer. I have a question about the ID and Password.
If I give my ID and Password to someone and they access my computer, then when they are done and they exit it, can they use that same password to access my account again?
Or do they have to ask me for the password? (The password changes every time I open TeamViewer.)

Its International Cheetah Day!
If you follow our blog you most likely have heard of two year old Kasi, the somewhat famous cheetah that lives at Cheetah Run with his canine companion Mtani. Less famous but just as fabulous are the ladies of Cheetah Run. Our female cheetahs are all 3 years old and can be seen daily lounging on our habitat or wowing the crowds during a lure run demonstration.
Kasi shares the immediate area with the other cheetahs. They often have visuals of each other as well as constant auditory and olfactory contact, though they are never in physical contact with one another.
