Easypeasy 1.5 with UXA Support
Based on Ubuntu 9.04, Easypeasy comes with additional support packages for netbooks and for the first time, support for Intel's UXA drivers.
According to an announcement by developer Jon Ramvi, this makes Easypeasy the first distribution to support true Compiz 3D graphics with Intel graphic cards. Further changes include:
- Kernel 2.6.30
- Faster boot times

This route is on the far right-hand side of Oceanic Wall (up the ramp a little towards Dream Dome). It follows a blackened stripe of rock. Look for a piton about 15 feet up and two bolts just above the roof. The crux is pulling the roof. Work left after the roof to the two-bolt anchor.
Mixed route, standard rack. Two bolts and a piton to a double bolt anchor.
I got a placement below the first piton, but didn't spot the piton itself and was close to 20-25' off the deck before getting a second piece, with definite ground fall potential. The climbing was probably 5.7. Be warned that the piton doesn't look very good and that this route should, in my opinion, not be taken on lightly.
Rob Curtis - I agree with the last comment, the climb isn't easy to protect, bring a set of nuts and some small cams. Good fun.
I agree with Darren, the pro on this route is not abundant. Well protected crux, though. Also, there is currently a wasp's nest just left of this route (we TR'd it with no problem, however).
I did this to day with my kids and had a good time. It seems to have three variations. One is what sounds like the original description; a second stays right and up the open corner on bolts; and a third goes to the third bolt of the second option (4th if counting piton) and then does a cool traverse left to meet the first option. In any case, all start with a bolt at about 15 feet, which is high but easy to clip. Then all pass a piton. For option one, move left at the roof. Two bolts (one old, one newer) are over the lip. Continue up the corner and angle left (takes #0.5-1 Friends to anchor). For option three, you traverse in on good hands and poor feet to option one just above the bolts. Didn't do option two all the way, though it looks easy.

Good stuff. Love annotations, it really brings works of fiction to life.
In the most recent X-Position I asked Duane Swierczynski about exploring the legacy of the rest of the Immortal Weapons besides Iron Fist, and here's his response:
Okay, one hint for you: Woof woof.
Which makes me incredibly happy. Dog Brother #1 has so much going on with him, it'll be a blast to get to know him better. Wonder if it'll be adressed in a one-shot or confined to the pages of the main book, though.
If only we got more Bride of Nine Spiders as well, I'll love this book even more.
Bah. Where's the Fat Cobra love?
While I like all the Immortal Weapons, I think Fat Cobra has the most crossover potential. I'd love to see him appear in, say, INCREDIBLE HERC.
Expletive Deleted
Agreed, definitely excited about that. While all of the Weapons need some more fleshing out, apart from maybe John Aman who has at least some backstory behind him, Dog Brother #1 is the one we haven't seen that much of since he was introduced so cannot wait for this.
I also want Colleen to have a larger presence in the book, I feel like she's been marginalized lately, like writers may not know what to do with her, apart from slashing at things with a katana. Maybe because she's just another samurai/ninja girl in comics, but she was the ORIGINAL samurai girl in comics, and important to Danny's supporting cast as his first ever friend (in NY anyway).
I agree with your statement about colleen. For a long time she was considered Danny "closest" friend (we all know that Luke is his best friend) due to the time he used his chi and telepathically fuse his consciousness temporarily with Colleen and melded their minds. he did this to undue some brainwashing some enemy (i can remember who but it may have been Master Khan) had did to her to get Colleen to kill him. Anyway with that meld they knew intimate details of each other lives. this happen in the early iron fist series, but this connection has not been explored in years.

As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world.

Francis Collins by the Book
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
Faith, Science and Metaphors
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Searching for Motivated Belief: Understanding John Polkinghorne, Part 2
To understand more clearly where Polkinghorne lies on the larger landscape of science and religion, let's consider his approach to the Resurrection. Many contemporary thinkers, including some theologians and clergy, believe that "science" has somehow made it impossible to believe in the Resurrection, the deity of Jesus, and even belief in the transcendent God of the Bible.

The Washington Post
December 4, 2013
Richard C. Holbrooke, who had been the Obama administration's special envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan since 2009, died on Dec. 13, 2010, after suffering a tear in his aorta.
Mr. Holbrooke, a veteran diplomat who helped broker the peace accord that ended the war in Bosnia, became ill on Dec. 10, 2010, during a meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. He was able to walk out of Mrs. Clinton's office to seek medical attention, and underwent emergency surgery on Dec. 11.
As the senior policy maker on the administration's most pressing foreign policy issue, Mr. Holbrooke helped shape the civilian component of the administration's Afghanistan strategy, deploying more than 1,000 diplomats and aid workers to help the Afghans rebuild their state institutions.
Mr. Holbrooke was portrayed by some as disruptive and his relationship with President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan chilled after difficult meetings following the August 2009 election.
In one episode that dramatized the building animosities in the Obama administration, Gen. James L. Jones, the national security adviser, wrote to Ambassador Karl Eikenberry in February 2010, sympathizing with his complaints about a visit Mr. Holbrooke had recently made to Afghanistan. In the note, which went out over unsecure channels, officials said, General Jones soothed the ambassador by suggesting that Mr. Holbrooke would soon be removed from his position.
The note prompted Mrs. Clinton to complain to Mr. Obama, and her support for Mr. Holbrooke kept him in his job.
Mr. Holbrooke also clashed with Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, Mr. Obama's top commander in Afghanistan, who was fired on June 23, 2010, after disdainful remarks he and his staff made about top administration officials in a Rolling Stone article.
A McChrystal aide was quoted in the article saying of Mr. Holbrooke: ''The Boss says he's like a wounded animal. Holbrooke keeps hearing rumors that he's going to be fired, so that makes him dangerous.'' On another occasion, General McChrystal was described as reacting with exasperation when he received an e-mail message from Mr. Holbrooke. ''Oh, not another e-mail from Holbrooke. I don't even want to open it.''
General David H. Petraeus, who formerly oversaw all military forces in the Middle East and took over as commander in Afghanistan, said Mr. Holbrooke had been his "wingman" and that the two had a "very good relationship."
Officials had said that Mr. Holbrooke's job security was less in doubt than it was in early 2010, when his ouster was the subject of Washington chatter. Yet he had arguably become a less central player: Jacob J. Lew, a deputy secretary of state, now manages much of the civilian influx in Afghanistan that Mr. Holbrooke helped shape, while the embassy in Kabul is carrying it out. Mr. Holbrooke's most recent portfolio played to his weaknesses, his own allies admitted. He was best as a high-level negotiator, and not as comfortable with the nitty-gritty work of helping Afghanistan build an economy.
Mr. Holbrooke had become a globe-trotting diplomat, trying to retain flagging European allies while seeking to draw influential Muslim countries like Egypt into helping Afghanistan. At a recent conference of 35 countries in Madrid, Mr. Holbrooke drummed up more support from allies for the Afghan government's campaign to reintegrate Taliban fighters into mainstream society.
Mr. Holbrooke served as assistant secretary of state for East Asia and Pacific affairs under President Jimmy Carter, and assistant secretary of state for European affairs and then United States ambassador to the United Nations under President Bill Clinton. Early in his career, he served as Peace Corps director in Morocco in 1970, and as editor of Foreign Policy magazine from 1972 to 1976.
He was passed over for secretary of state in 1996, when Mr. Clinton instead chose Madeleine K. Albright.
Mr. Holbrooke was well known in the Washington foreign-policy establishment, among journalists and overseas. During the conflict in August 2008 between Russia and Georgia, he was one of the first Americans to fly to Tbilisi to meet with the Georgian leader Mikhail Saakashvili, a friend.
He was born April 24, 1941, in New York City and graduated from Brown University in 1962.
Mr. Holbrooke made a career that started with Vietnam, had a highlight with Bosnia and ended in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
December 14, 2010worldObituary (Obit)As special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard C. Holbrooke will formulate policy for the region.
February 8, 2009usNewsSome supporters of military intervention in Syria argue that there might be more to learn from the United States-led bombing campaign that helped to end the brutal sectarian civil war in Bosnia in 1995 than from the American invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Mozilla Starts Asking For Donations from Users
Subject: General Tech | December 30, 2011 - 11:42 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: mozilla, firefox, donations, browser
Mozilla, the company behind the popular open source Firefox web browser recently struck a quite lucrative deal with Google for providing the big G with a default search box and google search start page. Apparently, 900 million (over three years) is not enough for the company; however, as they have started asking for user donations of at least $10.
According to their new story page, "We believe the Web is a place where anyone can come to build their dreams." The non profit states in the accompanying video that they are more than just a web browser, they are a global community fighting to keep the web a good, innovative place. And that, they argue is why they need your support; to make the web a "force for good by making a donation today."
Personally, this feels like a cross between late night PBS broadcasts as a kid and Wikipedia's pleas for donations. Sure, if you are a big fan of Firefox it couldn't hurt to support them; however, I don't think they are going anywhere any time soon. What are your thoughts on this as a user?
I've always been a Mozilla users. As Firefox. Before it was Firefox. Back when it was Netscape. In fact, I was an engineer at Netscape in the late 90s.
This has just driven me away. Chrome has a significant lack of the extensions I want (and their tabs/bookmarks/panorama-eye-candy-tabs stuff is all very lacking), but between this and the ridiculous rush to have the highest browser version number while focusing on making their browser Facebook-ified and Twitter-ified has just driven me away. If they were hurting for cash, I'd be fine. Value for value. But $300,000,00/yr deal with google as well as other forms of support and they're asking me for $10+? Nope.
The only thing I don't like about FF is the "ooops" page that thinks your browser closed because of an error when all u did was press the X to close the browser window but I'm sure thats some bug....
I hate how you can close all browser windows without the process dying so that when you try to launch it again it just gives you an error message that it's already running, maybe if they had that fixed I'd be happy enough with the browser's usability to donate
Giving $10 as a show of support? I don't think so. Firefox seems to have lost its way. A new version every 6 weeks is ridiculous. Developers of plug-ins can't keep up with a cycle like that. Nor can adequate testing be done. For example, version 8.01 came within 48 hours of 8.0 release and the same happened when 9.01 came out within 24 hours of 9.0.
And Firefox's change from disabling plug-ins to allowing them whether they work or not is an invitation to disaster. Non-technical users (a huge majority, I would guess) may not have the skills to determine whether plug-ins are working properly.
Filling Firefox with developer tools is another mistake. Why should all users pay the overhead and possible security vulnerabilities for tools so that a very small minority of users (developers) are happy?
Chrome and IE actually do the latter more than Firefox does. Press F12 in either of those two.
Never been a fan of Firefox. Not for any particular reason though, just never got into it. I like chrome 'cuz of it's small footprint, but that's not the point.
What I find interesting is it's been so long since I've seen the donation based freeware formula being used.
Back in the day ALOT of software was distributed this way. If you wanted pc-zip lets say, you'd log on to a bbs and clog up your phone line for a couple of hours downloading it, or you could pick up a copy at radio shack on a unlabeled 3.5" floppy for less than $5, and it was fine %100 complete operating copy, but every time you opened the program it would ask you for a donation. Giving money never changed the software at all, there was no registration code to remove the money plea, no extra features or anything, just the warm feeling inside that you were helping some poor developer pay for his grocery bill.
It was a model that, let's be honest, never worked. Back then if you were savvy enough to know what a bbs was you felt privileged enough to never pay for ANYTHING. "Why would I pay for dos 6.2.2 when I can just go to a WAREZ bbs and get it for free," was the mentality of the day, so the thought of paying cash to some dude out there not even trying to protect his intellectual property was absurd.
For Mozilla to try this old failed income system seems foolish to say the least. A good number of current users will {wrongly} feel offended that they are being asked for money and switch, and most of the rest will probably completely ignore it and keep using the browser for free.
It's true what they say, the more things change, the more they stay the same
PKZIP, I meant to say PKZIP not PC-Zip, sorry
I use FF solely for its plugins, lots of very useful ones, if they fix that crash bug that me and martin mentioned I'd be the first to donate.
FireFox is a browser built by the users for the users, not like others. It is community that needs funding, To not it dirt by the competitors. More they can make it easier for developers with tools etc The more they are going to give back.
I think they need it easier to report bugs and help out the developers so they can make a difference. The more then know what to fix the more they can.
Also I think rewards and incentives to help FireFox and teach kids to program for their platform would be good.
All non profit organizations need help.
We vote with are money who wins or deserves to be around
So, I'm curious. Does this mean that you will actually donate money to this cause? Will you, truthfully, vote with your money, or is this just talk?
A "non-profit" organization. A fiction. 900 millions of $ is far from profit, indeed... And yet they call for 10$ donations, how typical socialistic efficiency.
This is communism at its best gentlemen, the only thing that communism is good at are revolutions, something that FF already did (it has overthrown stagnated IE6), after revolution every communism begins to die due to self-corruption and socialistic inefficiency. Just let it die and switch already to some proper capital-driven browser like Opera, Chrome, Safari, or even IE which reacted to competition in a good capitalistic way.

The Perfect Meta Tag?
Posted 03 January 2004 - 02:31 AM
Posted 03 January 2004 - 02:45 AM
though its not a meta tag page title is highly important.
the only meta tags that are used by any search engines to improve rankings are the keywords and description tags.
<title>Perfect Title</title>
<META name="description" content="A sentence to paragraph of readable text
<META name="keywords" content="keyword, blue keyword, green keywords">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
Inktomi is the only major crawler which officially supports the keywords tag. also think Teoma was supporting it unofficially if memory serves. meta tags are not very important though since they are so easy to spam. many top SEOs do not even use the keywords tag
Google for example completely ignores the keywords tag...
Posted 03 January 2004 - 02:48 AM
Posted 03 January 2004 - 09:54 AM
Your meta tags are there to send all kinds of information to the user agent. There are parental control functions (though I don't know any browsers that are designed to take advantage of them), functions to tell your browser what language its in (and even possibly give you the location of the same file written in your language), and all sorts of spiffy cool things - all designed long before the day of the search engine.
Awall's right though - the three he gave you are the most useful ones when it comes to SEO - and even then, the SEO value is questionable. Even INK which uses Meta Tags for the description will go into the page and pull out a snippet if you've chosen not to provide it with a tag. For me, I prefer this as the snippet it picks is like Google's where the keyword is visible and is from a relevant portion of the page tailored to that specific search. (I should say, that that is how INK DID do it - I haven't checked in some months, so that may no longer be the case, but I think it is...)
As far as I'm concerned, if you're going to use meta tags - use 'em - and use 'em all (well, the appropriate ones, anyway). Use the language tag. Use the content rating tag (as required - it's not only "sex" stuff that gets rated for content, same as with movies and TV). Certain markets and industries have other meta tags that are used for specific purposes.
I know. I know. This is nitpicky. I guess I'm just in one of those moods today. (My New England Patriots aren't on TV this week because they're too good at the game - I hate it when that happens.)
Posted 03 January 2004 - 11:24 AM
Don't even worry about Meta tags. If you're just getting into SEO, that's the least important part of it. (You may have read old info that made you think it was important.)
Worry about which keyword phrases are actually the best ones to target, your visible page copy and your Title tag.
(My New England Patriots aren't on TV this week because they're too good at the game - I hate it when that happens.)
My husband is going through the same withdrawal!
Posted 03 January 2004 - 01:38 PM
Aquatix, I'm actually somewhat of a meta "description" tag fan. I don't really worry about the SEO value, but it can be present nice to the user.
Example, since Inktomi feeds MSN, you can go to MSN, type "proper meta description tag" in their search. Inc.com comes up at #1 (currently). Their meta description tag is what's read under the title. It reads "Use killer meta description tags for high search engine rankings."
Presumably, inc.com felt that is what they wanted their user to read under their title when someone searches for "proper meta description tag". If the user likes the tag enough to click to their site, it's a good meta tag.
Posted 03 January 2004 - 01:49 PM
The meta tag (in the case of INK/MSN, right now) is great for controlling exactly what the user sees on MSN - and if your page is very focused and targeted, this can be considered nothing but a good thing.
If the page is more broadly focused, it could might be detrimental because the description you put there may not match up very well and convert to a click.
This is something where there is no right answer. It's where style can still play a part in SEO - and the decision you make on how to do it can be made on a page-by-page basis.
I love exploring the areas of SEO where style and creativity are still strong.
Posted 03 January 2004 - 02:58 PM
However, when optimizing the meta description tag, do not neglect the actual html text of each page which is where Google and others gather their info about the page.
Posted 03 January 2004 - 03:12 PM
everyone believe Yahoo will start using Inktomi instead of Google
Not everyone.
Posted 04 January 2004 - 12:43 AM
And that's a good thing, too, Grumpus.If the page is more broadly focused, it could might be detrimental because the description you put there may not match up very well and convert to a click.
Posted 04 January 2004 - 01:51 AM
I have begun working on the meta tags for my sites by making sure they are clean and page specific. I also am trying to make my meta description tag more appealing to the user, by trying to encourage the user to click on my link versus the one above mine.
This is mostly in anticipation for the new Yahoo!.
Posted 04 January 2004 - 11:15 AM
This is mostly in anticipation for the new Yahoo!
Be forewarned - absolutely nothing of consequence has been improved upon or changed in INK in well over a year. Conversely, AllTheWeb and AV have gone though many improvements and changes and have had gobs of new features added to them. It'd be rather silly if not completely absurd to assume that Yahoo would go with stale and outdated INK when the fresh and streamlined AllTheWeb and/or AltaVista are sitting there waiting.
Posted 04 January 2004 - 11:52 AM
I believe they bought Overture more for PPC than to get ahold of AV and ATW (which Overture owned), but they've got them, and it makes sense for them to use them. Maybe not right away, but I think eventually we'll see ATW's index ranked by INK's algo (so hopefully a lot of the trash in there will go away), and maybe AV's image search, which I find much better than Google's.
Posted 04 January 2004 - 11:55 AM
Damn...wish I had thought of that when I was trying to come up with predictions. It's a good one!

Tila and her boyfriend had been going out for a while. Only thing was they hadnt had sex yet and Tilas pussy was juicy wet for some dick. She was an 18 yr old freak and loved getting man handled in the bedroom. She loved getting dicked down and especially sucking cock! So she called him over for a while while her parents went on some errands and got freaky with it.

Right, because cameras that are "using carbon fiber, titanium, wood, leather and precious metals – including gold" parts make such great quality images.

Hasselblad responds to Lunar criticisms
Responding to the swift and negative reaction to its just-announced Lunar mirrorless camera, Hasselblad's business development manager, Luca Alessandrini, forcefully defended the venerable camera maker's partnership with Sony in an interview with the British Journal of Photography. Alessandrini stressed that, 'This [the Lunar] is not a NEX-7 camera, just because we are buying components from Sony'. He makes a pointed distinction between the Hasselblad-Sony partnership and the 'rebranding' arrangement between Leica and Panasonic. Alessandrini also says that the decision to use an unmodified Sony sensor for the first Lunar camera doesn't preclude the company from making sensor modifications for future models.
In seeking to explain the company's long-term strategy and product design decisions, Alessandrini says that unlike other makers who have distinct looks for different camera classes, 'What we're doing is designing three cameras – a compact camera, a DSLR and a mirrorless – with the same style'. And as for criticism generated by the Lunar's €5000 price, he adds, '...we're not robbing people by making a huge profit on the camera. Our profit margin is the same as everyone else's; we're just using more expensive materials.'
You can read the entire interview at the British Journal of Photography's web site.
"we're not robbing people by making a huge profit on the camera. Our profit margin is the same as everyone else's; we're just using more expensive materials."
Means we are just incompetent and we can't make money off of people who are practically willing to donate it to us.
The problem is that the only thing differentiating them from their competition is their expensive materials and ridiculous price. These guys should have teamed up with Bose to make a great speaker/camera.
Yeah, the problem is he's just defending the price - I don't mind the price, I mind the UGLY
Unfortunately for Hasselblad , the lunar bodies that they are showing at the floor says (if you go into menu)
Body: NEX-7
Ver. 1.00
Lens/Mount Adapter
Ver. 01
I thought at least they should have taken the time to change that part ...
Given this Nex-7 example, I pretty sure the other two cameras they are planning are A99 and RX1 with Hasselblad name tag and woods
Please put more effort next time. Sony is not making traditional DSLRs anymore. A better strategy would have been if Hasselblad offered a DSLR version of A99 ...
I don't mind that it's a pimped out Nex 7 - that concept has great potential.
I do mind that it's revoltingly, disgustingly, horrendously UGLY.
Why couldn't they take some styling cues from their Iconic designs from the 60s.
Marketers and "designers" ruin everything.
Lie #1: We are just buying some Sony components
Lie #2: Having three different cameras with a common style means making the ugliest camera Ever
Lie #3: We are making a small profit margin over $6500 priced Sony NEX with more ugly details assembled in - Guess the country ;)
Lack of answer to the main criticism: Why on Earth is it so tremendously Ugly?
It seems they realized faster than Sigma that they are going down, still they seem just as stubborn as they don't seem to have learned Sigma's lesson.
how about "not" using expensive material that has no reflection on the outcome of the photos, and give us a lower price camera.
Its better to get a dollar out of a million people, than get a million dollars from 1 person. "famous quote of a sensible shopper".
Those cameras already exists. No need to reinvent middle-of-the-road stuff.
Overpriced for some, yes, but if it offers something special, a few will appreciate that.
Fair enough, not everything have to be on the top of the charts.
Having said that, these may not offer 'special' .
A Hasselblad Lunar but not made of extravagant materials with an extravagant pricetag? That'd be a NEX7 then...
That interview will not change most public opinion on the Lunar.
It is what it is Hassy, this many criticisms account for something- at least for this camera. Don't take them lightly is my advice.
So basically what he's saying is, you're getting a Lexus car aka Toyota Camery. No thanks. Add a medium format sensor in this for the same asking price and I'll take a look at it. They didn't learn anything from Sigma's camera/price stunt.
Lexus is only 50% more expensive than Toyota (which is reasonable considering the luxury features) This stupid Lunar is 500% more expensive than NEX-7.
Right. But it's still a Toyota car with a Lexus logo and that's pretty much what you're paying for.
At least the overpriced Sigma SD1 offers an innovative and unique technology... the 15mp x 3 Foveon sensor. They've reigned in the price quite a bit since the initial release, and I hear it's actually a quote good camera for certain purposes. The Hasselblad Lunar-derp brings absolutely nothing new to the table in terms of technologies or features.
I have a Lexus and a Toyota. The Lexus is much better.
The Lunar is no better than a Sony NEX-7.
@Mike. Innovative only goes so far. Sigma realized this after the masses complained about Sigma's insane initial asking price for that camera which brought them back down to earth where the price came down to join them. That was my point. Not the innovation part. Even Hassy has some nice technology in their medium format cameras, but most aren't blinded by innovation to the degree where they're going toss that money out if it's not justified.
looks like an edsel car.....or some kind of overdesigned kitchen appliance , of a gaudy fish lure. Really really unnatractive design.
We presumably don't understand. They must have researched the market and found a need for pig ugly and overpriced.
> or some kind of overdesigned kitchen appliance
Well this Luca Alessandrini worked once for De Longhi (as his linkedin profile says) so you were not far off as De Longhi as a kitchen appliance company...

New wildlife campaign displaying poignant portraits of the planet's endangered creatures

They forgot to list European humans. For some reason, we totally attract massive invasions in the type of societies we build anywhere in the world (unlike most other peoples on Earth). Immigrants are encroaching on our habitat, and we have the added danger of being able to mix genetically with the invaders -- thus destroying our unique gene pool. We invented science, and objective justice, etc. etc. so this is not a good thing.

5 At-Home Pedicures You'll Actually Want to Try
Spa experts share their best DIY summer pedi recipes.
By Andrea Lavinthal
The Best Summer Pedicures
Let's be honest — when it comes to pedicures, nothing beats the decadent experience of a spa. Between the exotic ingredients, the heavenly foot rub, and the flawless polish job, it's the ultimate in pampering. But who can afford to splurge on a pricey professional pedi every few weeks? That's why we asked top spas across the country to come up with DIY versions of their best summer pedicures.
Strawberry Daiquiri Pedicure
Courtesy of Tara Oolie, owner of Just Calm Down Spa in New York City
In a large bowl combine 1/2 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, and 1 tablespoon pureed strawberries. Use this mixture generously to exfoliate your heels, feet, and calves. Rinse the scrub off with warm water and use a warm washcloth to remove any excess sugar granules.
Next, massage your feet and calves with a mixture of 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/2 cup coconut cream, and 1 cup pureed strawberries. Rinse off with warm water and apply a strawberry-scented body lotion such as The Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter.
Triple Citrus Pedicure
Courtesy of nail technician Fahmida Mumith at Haven Spa in New York City
Soak your feet in a combination of warm water, sea salts, sliced lemon rounds, and a few drops of any essential oil. Use a pumice stone on your heels and balls of your feet to slough away calluses.
In a mixing bowl combine 1/2 cup sugar, the juice of a grapefruit, lemon, and lime, and 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil with a splash of warm water. Exfoliate your feet and calves with the scrub, then rinse it off with warm water. Finish by applying a rich body cream to your feet and calves to keep them soft and hydrated.
Summer "Petal-Cure"
Courtesy of Suzanne Gibson, spa director at the Mokara Spa at the Omni Houston Hotel
Fill a large bowl or basin halfway with warm water, 1/4 cup Epsom salts, and 10 drops of essential oil (geranium, chamomile, and lavender are good options and readily available at most natural-food stores). Add a handful of flowers if you have some around. Relax and soak your feet soak for 10 minutes.
Now mix 1/4 cup Epsom salts with 1/4 cup grape seed or sunflower oil and 10 drops of your chosen essential oil. Use the scrub to exfoliate your feet and lower legs, paying special attention to cuticles, calluses, and dry skin on the soles and heels. (Note: If you have sensitive skin, substitute sugar for the Epsom salts and go easy on the scrubbing.) Rinse off and pat dry with a towel.
Follow by massaging a nourishing combo of your chosen essential oil and grape seed or sunflower oil into your legs and feet until mostly absorbed.
Pineapple Pedicure
Courtesy of Nicole Doerr, spa director at the Mokara Spa at the Omni Interlocken Resort in Denver
Fill a large basin with warm water and 1 tablespoon of pineapple extract. Soak your feet 5 to 10 minutes and remove from the water. Take a fresh pineapple slice and rub it all over your feet and toes, concentrating on your heels. Allow the juices to marinate on your nail beds for a few minutes to soften your cuticles so it's easy to push them back later on.
Rinse off your feet, then make a scrub using Epson salts mixed with grape seed oil and a few drops of vanilla extract. Buff your feet and heels until they feel smooth. Finish by giving yourself a foot massage with a rich cream like True Blue Spa I Love Shea Ultra-Pampering Foot Cream.
Lavender Pedicure
Courtesy of the Spa at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach
Whip up a lavender foot scrub by mixing 1/2 cup light oil (try sweet almond, safflower, or jojoba), 1 cup fine sea salt (or sugar if you have sensitive skin), and 10 drops of lavender essential oil. The texture should be moist enough to hold together but not overly greasy. You can adjust the amount of oil to achieve perfect consistency.
Apply a thin layer of the lavender scrub to your legs and feet using a circular motion, then remove with a warm, moist towel, making sure there is no residue.
Finish by massaging your legs and feet with a lavender lotion. You can make your own by mixing 10 drops of lavender essential oil with an unscented lotion, or try Suave Skin Therapy Exhale Alluring Rich and Moisturizing Body Lotion in Lavender Vanilla.
Fake a Spa-Perfect Paint Job
After you treat your feet to one of these fab summer pedicures, it's time to apply polish. Here's how to do it like a pro:
Step 1: Trim nails with clippers so that they extend just slightly beyond the tops of your toes. Then file nails into squares with rounded edges and glide over with a buffer to get rid of any ridges on the surface.
Step 2: Gently push back cuticles with a plastic or wooden cuticle stick.
Step 3: Prep the nails by wiping them with a cotton pad soaked in remover (even if there's no old nail polish to take off).
Step 4: Apply a thin base coat followed by two coats of polish — go for something bright and summery.
Step 5: Seal with a high-shine topcoat and let nails dry for at least 30 minutes.

Native Amerikilla said:lol... yes, they are. Skatterman and Snug Brim never broke up. Skatterman just wanted to do a solo tour and album, but Snug was right beside him the entire time.
Shiven Desai said:Skat n Snug would be dope on Strange again, but they're not a group anymore and Hopsin would be sick.
immortal technique....but i think he has his own record label...but dat shit wuld b bad
all the horrorcore rappers should be signed to strange music because "strange" is the name of label and horrorcore is strange too
Wait... didn't you post a thread that said to stop making these posts a couple months ago?
Just sayin'.
thats a bad list because Prozak is already on strange and it is official and Kid Cudi is way to mainstream to sign with a independent label and they just released skatterman and snug brim why would they just go back and resign them?? stupid.
lol at "realistic" and then half the answers that followed...jesus. Slaughterhouse is signing with Shady, Kid Cudi has far too many options before Strange would even become one. Some of the ones mentioned are very good suggestions though, like Hopsin, Stevie Stone, Irv etc...

Pacific Bay Regains 100% Control of Cerro Solo Uranium Properties
For Immediate Release. Vancouver, British Columbia, February 12, 2009 Mr. David H. Brett, President and CEO, Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSX Venture: PBM, the "Company" or "Pacific Bay") reports that the Company is advised by Portal Resources Ltd ("Portal") it is not proceeding with its option to acquire 60% of the Company's Cerro Solo area Uranium claims in Chubut Province, Argentina .
The Cerro Solo claims ("the Property") include 3 contiguous uranium exploration concessions totalling 300 square kilometres (115 square miles) were acquired based on favourable geology and proximity to the Cerro Solo, Cerro Condor and Los Adobes uranium deposits. Owned by Compania Nacional de Energia Atomica (CNEA), the Cerro Solo uranium deposit hosts a historical resource of 10 million pounds of U3O8 at a grade of 0.30% U3O8 and 3.3 million pounds of molybdenum at a grade of 0.20% molybdenum.
Portal completed an Alpha Track radon survey in 2008 which outlined a 3.5 kilometer long anomaly, trending northwest-southeast and up to 1.0 kilometer wide, which is interpreted to represent a potentially mineralized paleochannel within the highly prospective Los Adobes Formation.
"Pacific Bay's Cerro Solo area claims are in one of Argentina's most prospective uranium districts," said Pacific Bay CEO David Brett. "The Company looks forward to developing an exploration program to follow up on the known anomalies."
