Remove Images Arts & Entertainment Every Rose has its Thorne The incredibly full sound of local songwriter Murray Thorne September 27, 2007 photo:Pietro Ortiz. photo:Pietro Ortiz. Murray Thorne performing with Celtic Tigers (Kevin O'Kennedy and Willy Wainwright, not shown Kris Thomas) at Mulligan's on the Blue For the past few months, Thorne's been in the studio recording licks for his new solo album, set to be released by the end of the year. The notion that the album is rock-based is surprising for Celtic Tigers fans. Ten years ago, Thorne left Vancouver and moved to Maui, initially to live in a tent in a friend's backyard and help build a studio. As it happened, Thorne overstayed his visa, and lived precariously as an illegal alien for years. In 2000 he married his wife Valerie, who was from France and, coincidentally, a permanent resident. Thorne was granted temporary residency. When Mulligan's on the Blue opened, they gave him an offer he couldn't refuse. "All the Guinness you could drink and free dinner," Thorne said, laughing. "It just started as a drunken joke, just something I do on Sundays. But the Celtic Tigers and their popularity becameI call it "The Phenomenon.'" Thorne kept writing his own songs. At first, he planned on an acoustic record because he didn't want to put a band together. But it was a stop-start process. It became an obsession. In the end, he decided that he needed band. "I would never have gone into the studio to record," he said. "But I knew the most famous engineers and milked them for info. I started recording at home, and I started realizing, hey, it looks like I'm making a record. I had no idea exactly what I was doing. "People would see me rock out "Sunday Bloody Sunday,' and ask me about my CD, expecting Dropkick Murphys," he continued. "But that's not all I do. The Celtic Tigers is funbut it's not an honest representation of me." His own style is acoustic-based rock music, and Thorne says he once heard a person say it reminded him of David Bowie, which doesn't displease him. In the mid-to-late 1980s, straight out of high school, Thorne played with touring hard rock bands and opened for acts like Nazareth, Loverboy, Eddie Money and The Tragically Hip. By 1990, when he was in the Canadian one-hit wonder band Raymond May, he opened for Aerosmith and Iggy Pop. "When I came here, I listened to stuff relevant for songwriting," Thorne said. "Everything from obscure British bands to Dylan. It sounds corny, but a friend turned me onto his lyrics, and he's got such a way with words and humanityit's not topicaland everything rhymes. I got into folk music because of that. I tried to be folk... but I'll be rock and never escape from that. "The Beatles are my cornerstone," he contnued. "They're timeless. If they were a movie, they would be The Godfather. There's something humanely fundamental about them." He also loves The Killers, Muse, Tom Petty ("Now there's a guy who can take acoustic music and make it rock!"), Radiohead, REM, Coldplay, Pink Floyd, White Stripes, Pearl Jam, Frank Sinatra, Steve Earle, Mott the Hoople, Midnight Oil and, yes, U2. "What I like about Irish music is that lyrically they're hardcore," Thorne said. "It's all about human nature and suffering, all wrapped up in something fun to listen to. And I love U2; they're appealing across the board. Bono as a lyricist really cuts through the BS. Now I don't want to emulate that sound, but that mindset." With the CD in its finishing stages, and Thorne making his best efforts for distribution, he said his biggest obstacle is tackling demons with promoting himself. But any obstacles that he faces are merely cementing his drive to create music true to him. "I'm gonna make what I want," Thorne said. "I don't care what anybody thinks." MTW |

Clark Duke
entered the professional acting sphere during childhood, with an ongoing role as Elliot Hartman, one of two sons of congressional legislative assistant John Hartman (
John Ritter
, whom
resembled), on the popular CBS sitcom
Hearts Afire
(1992-1995). Thereafter,
took nearly a decade off to pursue his studies, but received renewed attention years later thanks to an off-camera friendship and professional partnership with the popular comedic actor
Michael Cera
Arrested Development
). That association began when
appeared alongside
in the
Judd Apatow
Greg Mottola
-directed sex comedy
, and continued via the pair's creation of the successful web series
Clark and Michael
. The program, done in an extremely dry, put-upon mockumentary style that recalled both
The Office
Arrested Development
, starred the actors as themselves, and depicted their adventures attempting to break through the impenetrable walls of show business. It drew a substantially large fan base and became something of a cult hit. Thereafter,
starred in the popular frat-boy-themed series
(2007) and signed on as one of the leads in the big-screen teen sex comedy-road movie
Sex Drive
(2008). Over the next several years, Duke would also appear in a number of big screen comedies, like Sex Drive, Kick-Ass, Hot Tub Time Machine, and A Thousand Words. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Season one of Hearts Afire takes place in Washington D.C., where transplanted Southerner John Hartman (John Ritter) has relocated as chief of staff to ultra-conservative Senator Strobe Smithers. Recently divorced and the father of two sons, Ben (Justin Burnette) and Elliott (Clark Duke), Hartman has developed a mile-long misogynistic streak, fueled by the calculated bitchery of Mavis Davis (Wendie Jo Sperber), the politically ambitious wife of his best friend and fellow senatorial aide Billy Bob Davis (Billy Bob Thornton), and by the vapidity of Senator Smithers' -- ahem -- secretary, the voluptuous Dee Dee Starr (Beth Broderick). But what has really turned John against the opposite sex is the fact that his wife has left him not for another man, but for another woman! Thus, when liberal journalist Georgie Anne Lahti (Markie Post), broke and jobless after years of circling the globe and filing left-of-center news reports, comes to Smithers' office hoping to sign on as his press secretary, John's first instinct is to boot her out. But despite this, and the vituperative political arguments between the two of them, John agrees to let Georgie Anne have the job, and Georgie Anne, against her better judgment accepts. The reason? John has the hots for Georgie Anne -- and the feeling is mutual! Circumstance dictates that Georgie Anne move into the house occupied by John and his sons, which only intensifies the torrid feelings between the two protagonists. Even the put-down pragmatism of Georgie Anne's childhood nanny Miss Lula (Beah Richards) does little to extinguish the flames, as does John's dismay over the fact that Georgie Anne's dad George (Ed Asner) is an ex-convict who shows no signs of wanting to mend his ways.
As originally conceived, John and Georgie Anne were to remain single, in hopes of stirring up the same "will they or won't they" intrigue that had added spice to such mismatched-couple series as Cheers and Moonlighting. But the executives at CBS were antsy over the unhitched status of the Hearts Afire protagonists, especially since the series was being seen in a relatively early Wednesday-night time slot. Under protest, producer Linda Bloodworth-Thomason agreed to make things more "family friendly" by having John and Georgie Anne get married before the first season was over -- and that was only the first of several radical changes in the series' concept. Surprisingly, despite Thomasons' well-known Washington connections, only one political figure appeared during the series' first season -- if "political figure" is the correct phrase to describe "Presidential brother" Roger Clinton! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hearts Afire: Season 02
Having given in to network pressure by having the two hot-to-trot leading characters of the CBS sitcom Hearts Afire consummate their romance with marriage rather than merely a roll in the hay during the series' first season, producer Linda Bloodworth-Thomason also gritted her teeth and went along with the network's insistence that the series drop its political overtones and morph into something closer to Thomason's earlier hit show Evening Shade. Thus at the beginning of season two, John Hartman (John Ritter) forsakes his job as aide to Washington-based conservative senator Strobe Smithers, and moves his new bride Georgie Anne (Markie Post) and his sons Ben (Justin Burdette) and Elliott (Clark Duke) back to his home town, somewhere in the Deep South. Also going along for the ride is John's recently divorced best friend Billy Bob Davis (Billy Bob Thornton) and Davis' daughter Carson Lee (Doren Fein). Upon their arrival, the right-leaning John and the left-leaning Georgie Anne (a former journalist) purchase a moribund newspaper, "The Daily Beacon," to air their oil-and-water political views. Seeing as the only employee on the Beacon who hasn't quit his job is timid typesetter Lonnie Garr (Leslie Jordan), it looks as though John, Georgie Ann, and Billy Bob will have to handle all production details of the newspaper themselves. It so happens that the "Daily Beacon" shares the same building as the offices of psychologist Madeline Stoessinger (Conchata Ferrell), a sharp-witted sophisticate who shares many of Georgie Anne's liberal views. Though John isn't crazy about the idea, Madeline is hired as the newspaper's advice columnist, thereby providing a worthy verbal sparring-partner for the Southern-fried Billy Bob. Another newcomer to the cast isn't new at all. Beth Broderick had spent the first season in the role of Dee Dee Starr, the bimbo mistress and sort-of secretary to John's boss, Senator Smithers. Beginning with season two, Broderick was cast in a different role, as Lee Ann Folsom -- Dee Dee's somewhat more reserved sister, and the wife of local blowhard Reed Folsom (Mark Harelik). Among the guest stars appearing as "themselves" this season are musical artist Little Richard, TV commentator Maureen O'Boyle, and, in a rare "acting" appearance, talk radio maven Rush Limbaugh. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Season three of Hearts Afire finds conservative political functionary John Hartman (John Ritter) still living in his hometown with his worldly, liberal journalist wife Georgie Anne (Markie Post), where they continue to churn out the local newspaper, "The Daily Beacon," with the help of John's lifelong pal Billy Bob Davis (Billy Bob Thornton) and Georgie Anne's acerbic gal-pal Madeline Stoessinger (Conchata Ferrell). Although the setting and most of the previous season's cast is intact, there are a couple of significant changes during season three. For one, J. Skylar Testa has replaced Justin Burnette in the role of the Hartmans' oldest son Ben. And for another, Georgie Anne has given birth to a daughter. Although the series' locale switch from Washington D.C. to the Deep South during season two had given Hearts Afire a small boost in the ratings, the third season episodes suffered from the stiff competition of Fox's America's Most Wanted -- and then, after switching from Saturday to Wednesday night, the series was at the mercy of another opposing Fox show, Beverly Hills 90210. Hearts Afire was canceled in February of 1995, with only 13 of the series' final 14 episodes seeing the light of day on CBS. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Operating under the assumption that by procuring alcohol for an upcoming party they will finally be able to break their longstanding losing streak with the fairer sex, socially inept high school seniors Evan (Michael Cera) and Seth (Jonah Hill) set out to secure the adult beverages that could get them off of the geek list before they even attend college orientation. Evan is a bright young student whose outward sweetness belies his suffocating fear of heading off to college without his lifelong best friend Seth -- a hormone-driven mischief-maker who wasn't accepted to the same school as Evan. But Evan and Seth both know that college is a place of personal reinvention, and that if they are able to make that first leap together they will have forged a bond powerful enough to last a lifetime. Meanwhile, Evan and Seth's friend Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) acquires a hastily rendered fake I.D. that instantly endears him to a pair of truly irresponsible cops (Bill Hader and Seth Rogen). Penned by co-star Rogen in collaboration with former Da Ali G Show co-writer Evan Goldberg, the semi-autobiographical SuperBad was produced by Judd Apatow and directed by Greg Mottola -- who previously helmed episodes of Undeclared and Arrested Development. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Josh Zuckerman, Amanda Crew, and James Marsden star in this teen sex comedy concerning an inexperienced adolescent who rounds up the gang for a road trip from Chicago to Knoxville after receiving a particularly enticing message from a girl he met on the Internet. Ian (Zuckerman) has just turned 18, and he feels like the last American virgin. He works at the mall donut shop, he's taunted by his womanizing older brother, Rex (Marsden), and he's even losing ladies to his 14-year-old brother. Having struck out time and again with his dream girl and longtime best friend, Felicia (Crew), Ian finally resorts to logging on and looking for a date online. In a stunning turn of events, Ian manages to chat up a beautiful blonde named Ms. Tasty, who's eager to be his first. She's fun, she's sexy, and she's everything that Ian has ever wanted in a girlfriend. The only thing preventing them from consummating their relationship now is the distance between them; Ian lives in Chicago and Ms. Tasty lives 500 miles away in Knoxville. But it's easy to pretend that you're someone you're not online, and Ian hasn't exactly been honest about his appearance in the first place. Still, he's sure he could charm Ms. Tasty all the same once he meets her in person, so he takes the advice of his best friend Lance (Clark Duke) and prepares to take Ms. Tasty up on her offer to "go all the way" for him if he "drives all the way" for her. But everyone knows that a road trip is no fun alone, so in order to keep him company on the road Ian invites Lance and Felicia along for the ride. Later, after stopping off to party at an Amish rave and facing a series of hilarious setbacks, Ian finally meets the girl of his dreams. Unexpectedly, things don't go quite as planned.. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Adapted from Mark Millar's hyper-violent comic book of the same name, director Matthew Vaughn's (Layer Cake) vigilante superhero film tells the tale of an average New York teenager who decides to don a costume and fight crime. Comic book geek Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) may not have good coordination or special powers, but that doesn't mean he isn't a fully capable crime fighter. After purchasing a flashy wet suit on the Internet, Dave starts busting up baddies with nothing but brute force. He calls himself Kick-Ass, and he can take a beating as good as he can dish one out. Before long, Kick-Ass has become a local sensation, and others are following his lead. Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and Hit-Girl (Chloe Moretz) are a father-daughter crime-fighting duo who have set their sights on local mob heavy Frank D'Amico (Mark Strong). They're doing a decent job of dismantling Frank's sizable underworld empire when Kick-Ass gets drawn into the fray. But Frank's men play rough, and his son, Chris (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), is about to become Kick-Ass' very first arch nemesis. When Chris assumes the persona of Red Mist, the stage is set for a superhero showdown that could spell the end of Kick-Ass once and for all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Germans VS. Romans Essay
Article posted May 3, 2012 at 04:52 PM GMT • comment • Reads 518
Overview - The point of this project was to compear what we know about the ancient Romans culture to what we know about the anceint Germans culture.We also were working on making a 5 paragraph essay.
Germans VS. Romans
The German people's way of life was very different to that of which of the Romans. The German Warriors were different than the Romans. The laws were different and thirdly the daily life was different. The warriors were different. The German warriors were given a shield and a sword and if they lost the shield and/or the sword it meant they lost their honor. The romans used a double-edged iron swords. The German warriors loyalties were to the cheiftain or person elected by a band of warriors. Where as the Roman warriors were organized into legions and they listened to the leader of their legion. Lastly the German bands didn't have a plan when going into fights. It was more like surprise raids. However the Roman legions trained never stopped training they took long marches daily. The laws were different. The German laws came from the people. Unless the German people approved, the rulers couldn't make or change laws. The Roman laws came from the emperors. The German laws were based on the customs of their ancestors and the Romans came from the emperors. The german laws weren't written down but memorized and passed down. Whatever the Roman emperor said was final. The daily life of the Romans was different than that of the Germans. The average Roman lived in apartments and the higher up the apartment the lower the cost. The average German lived in open spaces in thatched- roof huts. Roman women could work in or own a show. German women would help the children and enslaved farm. So in conclusion, the Romans were very different from the Germans in many different ways. Such as their warriors dressed and trained differently. The laws were made differently and the daily life was fairly different.

Roman Gladiator Excerpt
Article posted March 8, 2012 at 05:45 PM GMT • comment • Reads 519
This is an excerpt from the Lost gladiator project we did.
I go on the next couple of weeks. The different gladiators I fight against each have different weapons. Some had a gladius, one had a rete, another one had a spear, and another had a trident and one had a dagger.
A gladius was the roman name for a sword, and the rete was their name for a net. Different gladiators used different weapons and it wasn't uncommon. Gladiators also used different things to protect them selves. Some would wear helmets and if they didn't they would wear a Galerius or shoulder-guard to protect their head, but most wear helmets. There were two basic shields one that was smaller and easier to maneuver but protected less and one that was large like the ones they used it war. It was harder to maneuver but protected more. Another thing that protected them was the greaves it's kind of like a modern day shin guard but it's made with metal.
I had fought so many gladiatorial games I couldn't count. I went to the next coliseum thinking it would be a regular amphitheater however when we got to the amphitheater it wasn't just a coliseum it was the Coliseum in Rome.
The Colosseum in Rome was a symbol of the roman military. It was built were over the place where Nero (a roman emperor) had his lake. The sack of Jerusalem financed building it in 70 C.E. It was the greatest of 200 amphitheaters and even though the arena was mainly used for the gladiatorial, it is also used for beast fighting and punishment for Christians and criminals. The punishment may have included being thrown in the arena with wild animals. The Colosseum was a 616 ft. X 512ft. ellipse of pure genius, built by the slaves. It is 160 ft. tall with four tiers and it has a capacity of 50,000. Before the Colosseum was built, the gladiatorial games were previously held in the forum.

Here's what -- have the top of the stack.
The vice president is the latest to claim we still have.
Plenty of time to -- and place embargoes on Iran in order to convince them to stop what -- program to make nuclear bombs.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu drew that red line on his cartoon bomb indicating that they are closer than we thing.
So what do we know and when -- Ron have the capability to not only make a -- bomb but also.
The missile or the rocket system to drop -- on another nation.
Joining me now is former CIA operative and head of the bin Laden unit Michael Joyner and Michael.
You know the vice president was very quick to say -- -- everybody's been talking about this the intelligence.
Dating get the intelligence on bin Ghazi but they've got the intelligence down to the second it seems like on Iran view.
You coordinate those two together somehow.
I yet.
There this administration has great capacity for not seeing things it doesn't want to see.
At at Iran the you know the Iranians have been trying to build a nuclear weapon for a long time both.
Because they're afraid of the Israelis and because the Sunnis have -- the pakistanis have a bomb in the Muslim world.
And I really think -- where we were we going to stop them from building that -- we would have done it in 1990s.
When our allies in France and Germany were selling the components.
For developing the weapon to them but we didn't.
Now it's just a matter of time there's no way to stop them getting the weapon.
Well that's you know I'm I'm not a foreign policy expert by any stretch of the imagination.
But it seems like they are looking at us with impunity -- and they continue to make progress every single month.
What -- right and there's no there's no real reason to be scared of the United States.
We've never been able to win a war with only airpower.
If you look at Iran and I'm on the map they know we're not coming in terms -- -- on the ground force.
But I think more importantly.
The Iranians are too Smart to ever to attack costs directly but if we or the Israelis attacked them.
They have a tremendous capacity in the United States.
To eggs to to exact every -- revenge sort of campaign.
Via terrorism.
They have brought so many people into this country and so much material across our southern border in the last fifteen or twenty years.
That it's that they're very capable of doing that.
And perhaps just as important.
What does that kind of fragile or or -- shattered economy that we're trying to patch together at the moment.
They can ruin that with a couple of old fashioned bounds that they drop or or launch.
Into a Saudi oil production field or -- Saudi oil refinery.
It would drive the cost of oil up through the roof.
And -- -- economic progress we're we're making would certainly go into a sharp reverse it probably for a long period.
Do you by -- by what you said so far do we just.
Go ahead and say find they're gonna have the bomb acknowledge it and move on and then get into a Cold War era where.
You can't shoot yours and we can't -- -- because we can't of eliminating each other.
Well even if they had a problem.
They're Packard uses her there -- their they -- for the last twenty years as they say they're going to.
Well yeah.
And we say we're gonna fix social security and we say we're gonna win in Iraq in none of that ever happens.
But I think the point is that debt we pictured the Iraq and -- may -- people.
For the last twenty years they've lived with -- Israeli American and British nuclear target tears focused on them.
And I think they really think that it's a defensive necessity and when that's the case they'll be like the pakistanis.
The Pakistan he said they weren't eat grass before they stopped developing -- -- and I think that's where the Iranians are -- right.
But I think I think that the point we miss Hearst -- is -- Iran is fully contained.
Iraq was fully contained also was a threat to no one but we we went there but Iraq.
There's it's surrounded by military bases of the United States and its allies -- shattering its economy.
And most important it's an island of she is an enormous world of Sunnis that would rather kill them and kill lots aren't -- just before we let you go I just gotta get your comments on big Ghazi.
Why the mixed messages coming out of Washington.
What becomes -- of the president's administration has lied consistently to the American people.
About the threat from al-Qaeda.
They want to hang up that Latin scalp as the end of it.
And you know I don't know what's wrong with mr.
Romney's -- -- policy advisor.
But if you had a map from 2000 and winding you colored in where al-Qaeda head -- major operating base.
And he had a map from 2012.
That -- did the same thing.
The American people would be shocked.
By the side is in the geographical dimensions of the growth that al-Qaeda has achieved in the last eleven year I'll tell you what I'll take you -- -- that.
That need a map will show next week on this program and that our rates -- it would be in -- for you want Michael Sawyer thank you always always good to talk to you.
A pleasure sir thank you you bet.

LOVE this SKIRT
I love that the sizes are a little bit smaller - typically a 4 to 6 and here I can get by in a 2. This skirt can be dressed up with a colored jacket or down with some boots and a jean jacket. Super comfy and washes well.
November 12, 2013
Good Quality, but for the small-waisted
The material quality and design were exquisite. The length was perfect - just above the knee. I'm 5'5" and 105 lbs with long legs, so most skirts and dresses are too short on me. This skirt does have a high rise - too high. It came above my belly button. Also, the waist is tight in comparison to the hips. Granted, my waist and hips measurements aren't too much different (25/33) and I got a size 00, so it may just be me. But this will be best on someone with a small waist.
October 30, 2013
Beautiful Skirt
Skirt runs true to size, is lined and is the perfect length. What else is there to say?
October 23, 2013
snug fit
compared to other skirts of same size, this one fits snug around the butt. Fabric in brown comes off a bit disappointing. Might be better in another color.

Font Awesome
Font Awesome
I recently finished a JSF 2 application + Twitter Bootstrap (http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/) + Font Awesome (http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/).
I really like the way final application looks and now I feel that ExtJS applications's UI looks too "dense" and too 90s... (colors, frames, etc.) so I start to use default gray theme and start to tweak, via CSS, the L&F.
One of the thing I liked the most in the JSF application was the icons provided with Font Awesome so I decided to try them in SA. Was really easy!
1. Create a new project and save it.
2. Add "fonts" and "css" folders to where you saved your SA application.
3. Copy "fonts" folder content from Font Awesome distribution to SA application's "font" folder.
4. Copy "css" folder content from Font Awesome distribution to SA application's "css" folder.
5. Add a resource to your app pointing to "./css/font-awesome.css"
6. Use the icon-* classes, for example:
Works in 2.1 and 2.2 beta.
Hope this be useful for someone.

Thanks for the writeup. I'm sure this will help someone out.

Thanks for this - I too have used the default gray css as a starting point - first step is to dump all the gradients and radius borders - instant modern and clean theme! I am not far off the task of adding some graphical touches to buttons, tabs, etc and Font Awesome does indeed look awesome, so thanks muchly for the tip. Cheers.

how did you center your icon, did you use iconmask - x-icon-mask?
I get a white square when I used the iconmask...
25 Jan 2013 12:49 PM #5
I use iconCls: "icon-save icon-border"
Should center it

Did you get this working with Menu components? They use an img element so the icon-X classes don't work..
Any ideas how to make the icons in menus render as divs instead?

Dec. 4, 2012 at 9:04 AM ET
Four months after the NFL sought to curb domestic violence in its ranks by launching a crisis hotline, a bolstered mental-health program and fresh encouragement for troubled players to seek help, that fortified safety net could not prevent the murder-suicide Saturday involving Jovan Belcher. The Kansas City Chiefs linebacker, 25, shot his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins, 22, at their home, then drove to Arrowhead Stadium and killed himself in front of two coaches and the team's general manager.
After the high-profile suicide of retired NFL superstar Junior Seau, 43, last May — two years after Seau drove his car off a cliff following his assault on a girlfriend — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell installed the 24-hour hotline for players and a reinforced mental-health initiative on July 26. That same week, following a spate of NFL-related domestic attacks — at least six other family violence cases in the NFL have been reported since 2010 — Goodell met with the player's union to discuss possible solutions.
Yet even as the league was taking steps to help mentally troubled players and their families, the Kansas City Chiefs were aware of Belcher's problems, Kansas City police spokeswoman Sgt. Marisa Barnes told NBC News.
And Police Sgt. Richard Sharp told the Kansas City Star that team officials "were bending over backwards" to help the couple.
The Belcher murder-suicide is the type of nightmarish incident the league has been working harder to prevent, said Robert Gulliver, the NFL's executive vice president of human resources/chief diversity officer.
"One of the biggest things that we are trying to do here (in the NFL) is to change the culture, where people realize that it's OK to seek out help for mental health issues," Gulliver told NBC News. "We were very deliberate in ... making the point that mental health is part of total wellness, that it's OK to seek out help for mental health issues because that's part of your overall well-being."
In addition to help from the team's counselors, Belcher and his girlfriend Perkins, who was mother of his 3-month-old daughter and shared his home, would have had access to the hotline and the league's mental health program.
At the end of July, the NFL emailed information on its new crisis line and on the league's available mental-health help to the home of every NFL player, Aiello said, adding: "The information is sent with the idea that the player's wife also sees it. If a player's girlfriend sees it, it would be the same thing."
What's more, all 32 NFL teams employ a player development director to help encourage use of the programs, Aiello said.
In addition, the NFL Players Association — the labor union for players — staffs its own 24-hour, toll-free hotline for players to use "if they need any support whatsoever," said George Atallah, NFLPA spokesman. "If a player has an alcohol-addiction problem (for example), he calls in and we route that call to a facility near them, and (facility members) then come pick him up and give him the assistance he needs. That goes for any depression issues and mental health issues." The NFLPA also offers counseling services to players, and it employs a group of retired players "to get a pulse of what's going on in the locker rooms, handle situations confidentially, and provide support when necessary."
As part of what the NFL calls its "new comprehensive health program" — formally dubbed NFL Total Wellness — Goodell and the league worked with former U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher last summer to strengthen its mental health tools and assistance. The new program encourages players and their families to seek support for behavioral issues, provides health and safety information and offers confidential, free advice via telephone and the Internet. That aid is available to all players and "all members of the NFL family" who find themselves "in times of need," the NFL says. The same experts who operate the "NFL Life Line" run a similar emergency system for members of the U.S. military.
However, even with best intentions, the NFL remains essentially an elite club in which players have long been trained to hide physical pain — if not injuries — to keep their jobs. That environment could keep players from truly opening up about possible symptoms of depression, anxiety or other mental-health woes.
Gulliver declined to say how many players have phoned the hotline and tapped into the league's enhanced mental-health program via the web since its launch.
"We don't publicize the actual usage or percentage numbers," Gulliver said.
As the program has become more widely known by players, however, Satcher said: "The usage of it is increasing."
Gulliver wouldn't comment whether Belcher, his family, friends or any Chiefs players called the crisis line ahead of the murder- suicide, or tried to contact the league's new mental health services professionals about Belcher.
"That, too, is information that we do not publicize. There are lots of privacy laws that we make sure we uphold. The program is actually administered by the third-party provider so it's not information that comes into the NFL office. We wanted this to be independent and completely confidential for the members for the NFL family," Gulliver said.
He added: "Our hearts really hurt for the tragedy that has played out in Kansas City. And we absolutely want to make sure that we provide resources so that people realize there is another way that they can get the help that they need."
Seau's suicide last May served as the ultimate spark for the new hotline and the league's extra mental-health measures.
"It really did prompt us to step back and say: What more could we be providing for our players and for the NFL family?" Gulliver said.
But even with a beefed-up program available to players and their spouses, it's difficult to predict this kind of tragedy, Satcher said, adding: "I don't know that anybody could."
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention lists warning signs that someone may be considering suicide due to depression:
Anyone can call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255 .
During the planning meetings for the NFL's revamped mental-health platform, Satcher said he and league leaders discussed the hot-button issue of chronic concussions sustained by NFL players — and the behavioral instability those injuries are known to carry.
"The brain is a delicate organ and, therefore, head-to-head contact can no longer be viewed as acceptable. The hits start early - in junior high and high school," said Satcher, head of the Satcher Health Leadership Institute at the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta.
Satcher called the NFL's around-the-clock telephone "lifeline" and the other added mental-health backstops "a major advance" for the league.
Since 2010, these high-profile domestic violence cases have involved NFL players:
The National Suicide Prevention Hotline number is 1-800-273-8255.

Library > Math > Calculus
2000Our entry is about the basics of differential calculus. It is aimed at the students whose study is relevant to higher or applied mathematics. We have divided it into several categories, which are, limits, derivatives and applications besides an introduction containing the preliminaries and a part about those people who contributed in constructing the science of Calculus. Each of these sections was explained by means of definitions, theorems and examples. We tried to clarify some principles and theorems using animations and graphics. In addition, we put the 'Random Computer Problems', which is an interactive section that gives the user computer-generated problems of variable levels of difficulty. The section gives the user a method to try himself with some of the most common problem ideas. While the site was made inte form of a syllabus, it was designed to easily access from one part to another. Therefore it can be useful to someone whosearches for a specific point. The first deals with the limits and the continuity of a function. The second part is about differentiation and its different rules. We then made a third section explaining different applications of differentiation.

whats most appealing to me about that particular keyboard is the price. its a lotta keyboard for the money!
The backlighting was a determining factor for me too. I also like low profile keycaps, which are very difficult to find on mechanical keyboards.
well.... Ive just gone ahead and put in an order for the Corsair K90 from amazon, good thing about amazon is they will always refund you if youre not happy with the product so theres nothing to lose.
once you start typing it will all come to you like a bad episode of House. mechanical keyboards are superior. it's hard to imagine they used to come packed in with desktops.
we shall see!!! If it wasnt enough to convince that guy on ebay to leave his G15 for one then im not too sure if id be happy. we shall find out closer to the end of the week anyhoo. opted for free shipping as i didnt want to pay more ontop. Was planning to save that £95 for a catleap monitor now im gonna have to wait.shadedshu:shadedshu
a lot of the times people return them because they keep the misses up. mechanical keyboards can be customized so if you don't like Cherry MX Red switches there are others like Brown, Blue, Black, Clear, etc.
Nah just me in this big empty room. doesnt matter its a little noisey, from what i read in most reviews the K90 is pretty quiet but it still makes a noise due to the keys clattering down on the aluminium body when pressed.
with mechanical switches there is a plus to them for the noise. You don't have to travel more than 2mm to activate the switch, while it takes 4mm of travel to get the "clack". As time went buy with my K60/K90 use I was able to get used to the activation level making me not need to bottom out the switches all the time
the Keyboards just arrived. Was hoping id have it for the weekend but they didnt dispatch it until late on friday so its travelled an odd 200miles to me across the UK via courier since 1am last night not got time to set it up just yet, but i will report back as soon as its done.
Hope ya like it and glad ya did not go for a Razer one i have already had one fail on me.. They extended the warranty for a extra 3 months as it was about 5 days from the end of it. And still there is a issue with one of the keys were it's a but stiff.. But the time it was send back rubber dome felt terrible which is the reason i don't want to send this one back.. And always thought if my number 6 does fail i have 5 spare keys on the left i don't use hahaha.. Hope you enjoy it.
I think Razor have gone down hill since the early days. A friend of mine bought a Lycosa about two weeks ago and he can hardly game on it as his keys keep 'sticking' randomly. Told him to go get a refund but hes lost the reciept. Nice looking keyboards though - I really dig the mirror finish version but compared to this aluminium K90 that ive got in my hands, it feels you can hit a few home runs with it and it would still work! guess ive got a solid weapon incase of zombie apocalypse.
Well the 1st mouse i had of them was a DB the original one and just lasted over a year and the other 2 i had of them lasted less so could not agree more i guess i was hoping their keyboards would be better hehe.. Well i be happy if nothing goes wrong with this one will have to see. Thing is razer do give a 2 year warranty now i do believe on their mice and a 3 month if the warranty is nearly out. It's not just razer though getting the same crap from Steelseries were their mouse failed within 12 months and i am sure the same with this will happen too.. And being in the US and not Europe their warranty only a year and not 2 unless they changed it recently. So razer is the better option for me at least as Logitech are no good for me as they lack decent left handed mice. O yeah it's the same issue with every single mouse left button starts to double click which only says to me they need to use metal or at least harder plastic for the micro switch.
I'm one that doesn't see a need in spending alot of money on a KB. Personally, I've been using a Logitech Elite LE for the past 5-6 years and I love it. Not a single problem with it. I did replace it once. I thought I wanted a new "nice" keyboard, so I bought a Lycosa. Yeah, I returned that within a week and went back to the LE. I'll cry when I actually have to replace my LE.
well as you probably know, ive used nothing logitech perhipherals exclusively for as long as i can remember and they have never let me down until they finally surcomed to the abuse of pretty much at least 6-8hrs or longer of intense button mashing on a daily basis. only real issue ive had was the G500 mouse emitting a small high pitched squeeking sound when the left mouse button was pressed that just totally irritated me as much similar to the way pure cotton 'squeeks' in your head when you grab a handfull of it and squeeze it around in your hand. fixed the problem myself with a blast of GT85 chain lube I usually use on my bike but i had it lying around, left it to dry and its not made a noise since then and that was almost 2 years ago. ***** would have been quicker typing out a response but im using the new keyboard right now and its taking a little getting used to from the scissor switches im normally used to (and im trying to find my optimal typing position so i might need to break out the wrist rest) shit tonnes of spelling mistakes inbound!
just keyboards as far as i know. I think their mice are generally a lot better quality but i think they are also dropping the ball on that too.
If your main use it´s gaming my advice is get one of this: SteelSeries Merc Stealth http://steelseries.com/products/keyboards/steelseries-merc-stealth I use this KB for the past 2 years and it´s still in very good condition. And since it´s so good for gaming I have bought another just in case SteelSeries put it of production. Best KB ever made
well id like to think of my rig as general purpose but i suppose i have specced a lot towards the gaming side that keyboard looks pretty unique but its not something that i would personally buy. If i went to a lot of LAN parties i might consider it, the K90 is on my desk now anyway and its taking some getting used to not the mention the added noise from the keys hitting the aluminium when pressed. Im trying to learn not to push the keys down completely but it will take some getting used too. On the other hand i sound like a boss because hearing the keys tap gives you a general idea of how fast you or some people can type. my illuminated keyboard hardly made a sound at all.
I have to say, one thing that does really impress me about this keyboard is the lighting, the switches are literally screwed into a peice of aluminum and because each key has its own LED underneath, the light reflects off the aluminum giving it a really really cool looking neon affect like you would see on a pimped up japanese sports car.
nah, i put the old one on the floor so i can bind some of the hotkeys for teamspeak and other shit and operate it using my feet!!!

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Google has become a ubiquitous
part of daily life – at least in my house. Of course, people who work with computers use Google to search out new drivers, howtos, and product information. But Google is present in other spheres also. Particularly interesting (or alarming, depending on your viewpoint) is the importance of Google to the academic endeavors of middle school students. When I was in school, I used to have to go to the library to write a report. Now you just sit at your desk and google up some facts. Everyone knows the Internet lets you do everything from your house, so children who work online spend less time meeting each other and playing hopscotch. Although this is a very important point, it is not really my point now. My point is more about the methods and motives.

A second male masseur has come forward with sexual battery claims against John Travolta. Like the first masseur, the new accuser has elected to remain unidentified in his $2 million lawsuit filed Tuesday morning in Los Angeles. He is referred to as "John Doe No. 2" in court papers. Both masseurs are being represented by the same attorney.
John Doe No. 2 claims Travolta made unwanted advances towards him at a resort in Atlanta, Georgia on January 28, 2012. During an in-room massage, the actor allegedly stripped naked and "indicated that he likes a lot of 'Glutes' work meaning a massage on his buttocks." The masseur alleges that "while he was massaging near Travolta's buttocks area, Travolta would open his legs and spread his butt cheeks open and had a full erection and would maneuver in a way to try to force Doe Plaintiff No. 2 to touch his anus and around his anus." Near the end of the massage session, Travolta allegedly tried to force John Doe No. 2 to touch his scrotum. He then tried "to grab, rub and caress Doe Plaintiff no. 2's upper thighs and buttocks," according to the lawsuit. "Travolta started masturbating about 15 minutes left in the session, and Doe Plaintiff No.2, said he had to go," the lawsuit states.
The accuser claims to have "substantial documentation and numerous witnesses regarding the substance of Travolta's actions."
In the first lawsuit, John Doe No. 1 says Travolta hired him for a massage session at the Beverly Hills Hotel. At one point in the massage, Travolta alleged touched the masseur's genitals and offered to do a "reverse massage." The masseur says when he refused, Travolta said, "Come on dude, I'll jerk you off!"
Travolta allegedly apologized for his advances, but later asked if the masseur wanted to have sex with a "Hollywood starlet in the building that wanted to have three-way sex and to be double penetrated." The actor also allegedly masturbated and admitted the success of his career is "due to sexual favors he had performed when he was in his 'Welcome Back Kotter' days."
A rep for Travolta slammed the lawsuit. "None of the events claimed in the suit ever occurred. The plaintiff, who refuses to give their name, knows that the suit is a baseless lie...On that date when plaintiff claims John met him, John was not in California and it can be proved that he was on the East Coast. Plaintiff's attorney has filed this suit to try and get his 15 minutes of fame. John intends to get this case thrown out and then he will sue the attorney and Plaintiff for malicious prosecution," the rep said in a statement.

The Calendar of the Arts lists dynamic public events that represent the academic curriculum in the Arts at Dickinson.
Learn more
by MaryAlice Bitts-Jackson
January 11, 2013
A Bach cantata is orderly and opulent, and to most ears, it bears little resemblance to pop. So it may seem odd that Deborah Evans '91, a classical harpsichordist, owns a music-publishing company that's heavy on hip-hop, rap and R&B.
But Evans is dedicated to pursuing her passions, wherever they lead. And she didn't stop until she'd discovered a way to carve out an inclusive music-industry career.
Evans' journey began in the fall of her senior year at Dickinson, where she majored in English and took piano lessons on the side.
She had begun lessons in childhood, and like all Bach junkies, she harbored a right-brain passion for beauty and a left-brain appreciation for structural complexity—a cognitive ambidexterity that served her well as a musician but made it tough to select a major in college. She loved strategizing and problem-solving, but she also loved working with people, so she considered majoring in business, law and the social sciences. And her love of the arts drew her to music and literature.
In the end, her inner bookworm won out, and she planned to teach English. "But as graduation grew nearer, I realized that my heart just wasn't in teaching," she says. "I just couldn't identify what [my passion] was."
Then one day, searching for a quiet place to practice piano, Evans discovered a harpsichord in one of the practice rooms on the third floor of the Weiss Center. For this longtime Baroque fan, it was love at first listen. Her path was suddenly clear.
Evans signed up for harpsichord lessons through the music department; soon, she was practicing for hours each day. By graduation, she had enough credits for a music minor, and with help from harpsichord instructor Amy Rosser, she went on to earn a master's in harpsichord performance from Montclair State University. She launched a professional music career, teaching music and performing.
For many, this would be the end of the story. But while the artist in Evans was satisfied, her analytical talents remained untapped. And before long, she pined for a career that was as multifaceted as the music she performed.
Music publishing—with its blend of business, law and the arts—seemed promising. Music publishers work closely with songwriters, drawing up licenses and contracts, clearing rights for film and television, administering copyrights and collecting royalties. It's a career that requires a grasp of the creative process and product while also tapping the business-savvy hemisphere of the brain.
Evans began in 1998 at a New York City publishing agency and freelanced for an industry veteran in rap-music clearances. Soon, the harpsichordist was working for a rap-music publishing concern. "I've really learned to appreciate the meditative aspect of hip-hop," she says, likening the genre's bass-and-drum lines to those found in compositions by Philip Glass. She went on to direct copyright and publishing operations at two New York firms.
Evans loved the legal and accounting aspects of the business. She also relished the chance to learn new things daily in the face of evolving digital-media copyright laws and industry trends, such as the growing influences of YouTube, social media and television commercials. Her true advantage was in client relations, however. "I like to help songwriters navigate the laws," she says. "I think being a musician helps me, because I do understand music, and I can truly appreciate what the songwriters are doing."
Still, the commute to Brooklyn from her New Jersey home wasn't ideal, particularly after Evans and husband Joseph Furnari, a theatre director, had daughter Gianna in 2007. So Evans took another leap of faith and established Della Publishing. Most of her clients work in hip-hop and R&B, though she also represents Broadway, jazz and country artists, including Faith Hill.
Today, Evans works out of her home in New Orleans, and she and Furnari enjoy being part of that thriving arts community. The business, named for Evans' great-grandmother, continues to grow and establishes Evans as one of the industry's few female leaders. She named a sub-company, Cady, after a distant relative, suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
Occasionally, Evans makes time for harpsichord recitals. "There's a lot of music in the house, and my five-year-old sings constantly," she says with pride.
When the time comes for that five-year-old to choose a path, Evans will encourage Gianna to dream. "I've always been one to follow my heart. The goal was not to get a job—it was to pursue what I loved," she says. "I'm thankful every day that I'm able to stay in the field of music and love what I do, and I want Gianna to know that she can follow her dream too."

• The Imposter Bride (St. Martin's, $24.99) by Nancy Richler: "Shortly after World War II, Lily arrives in Montreal to marry Sol Kramer. Sol rejects her, so his brother, Nathan, out of pity, marries Lily instead. Pity turns to love, but it isn't enough for Lily, who disappears, leaving an infant daughter, Ruth, behind with Nathan. . . . Through the years, Ruth struggles to learn more about her mother through a diary, an uncut diamond and shiny rocks arriving in the mail. The stories of Lily and Ruth are beautifully written, wistful and suspenseful."

As you may know, we started our major fundraising drive for the year this month. Our goal, for the year, is to raise just over $40,000 from new donors in order to best sustain, support and grow our organization.
Since we began the drive on the 13th, you've helped us raise just over $5,000. If the donors who chose to give monthly all keep that up for the year, that will get us to $8,500 of the total funds we need. Hooray!
We're still a long way off from raising what we need, though.
Here to help save the day, longtime Scarleteen donor, supporter and superhero (and also kickass science author) Stephen Luntz has offered a $2,000 match for funds we can raise from today at 9AM PST, through Thursday, February 28th, at 9 AM PST.
That's just $2,000 we need your help generating in the next 48 hours in order to grab those matching funds.
(We won't actually grab them. We'll take them only when offered and then say thank you politely.)
Check out this new infographic from Jacob, a volunteer at S
Read more...Last December, we began our end-of-year fundraising for Scarleteen with a goal to raise the minimum we needed from online donors for 2012, $35,000, a very modest ask compared to other organizations or projects of or near our tenure and level of service.
Unfortunately, we still have not yet been able to raise even half of that sum. As of today, we have raised almost $15,000. We're so very grateful to the 135 individuals who donated generously to help us get to that sum, but that total just won't do. We run our organization and services far more cost-efficiently than similar organizations or groups, and can stretch a dollar like nobody's business, but that can only get us so far.
We need that minimum of 35K for this year -- which, combined with a private grant and existing donors, still giv us only $80,000 to do everything we do -- in order to sustain and maintain our services and those who provide them, create new content and tools, and to keep our organization afloat.
We don't like t
Read more...This summer, Arianna, who is one of our readers, wrote and produced a play at her college about sexuality which also included a fundraising ask for Scarleteen.
This month, Marlena, another Scarleteen user, surprised us with this incredible video she made as part of Project for Awesome, to do what she could to help support what we do and express her experience of what Scarleteen can offer to young people, particularly in a world which is so often unsupportive not just of youth sexuality, but of youth as a whole.
And now, in the last week, yet another fantastic young person began an ingenious self-designed fandom auction to help us here, an effort a host of creative, generous folks have hopped on so far to pitch in with.
We feel the information, support and services we provide for young people are things that young people truly are owed: things they should be able to receive for free from any of us who have the ability to provide them for them. Ideally, our hope is always that older
Read more...I'm writing today to make a modest funding ask of our allies and our readers capable of financial contributions on behalf of our volunteers.
What we're looking to do is to raise enough funds for all of our volunteers, who are able, to fly to San Francisco this April and attend the sex::tech conference together.
Doing so would allow them to appear on a panel we're giving composed of young adult peer online educators, in which they can talk about being educators and engage in a discussion with attendees which will, I expect, influence both attendees and the volunteers positively. I feel it's very important for them to be able to experience some outside, in-person recognition for the fantastic work they've done over the years and want that for them very much. This will also allow as many of us as possible to meet in person and do some important brainstorming about Scarleteen as a website and an organization. Many of them have never met in person, despite sometimes talking online for
Read more...This a guest post from Shay at The S Spot for the Scarleteen Blogathon
I do a lot of work in my real life with sex education and promoting safer-sex practices (i.e. getting people to use condoms). Some of you may even recall that The S Spot got it's start as an educational sex column in a campus newspaper!
I feel that when you're talking to someone about sex, you can't just try to scare them with the facts about sexually transmitted infections, HIV, and how accidental pregnancy will "ruin your life"; but a lot of sex educators focus on just that.
I remember one time when I picked up my younger brother from school, I asked him about his day and he told me that there had been an assembly about sex ed. I asked him if he had learned anything interesting and if he had any questions about anything they talked about (figuring that he might be more comfortable talking to me, his older sibling rather than a "real" adult like mom or dad). He did have a few comments about funny things the tea
Read more...You probably know Scarleteen has been the premier online sexuality resource for young people worldwide since 1998. We have consistently provided free inclusive, comprehensive and positive sex education, information and support to millions for longer than anyone else online. We built the online model for teen and young adult sex education and have remained online for nearly eleven years to sustain, refine and expand it.
What you might not know is that Scarleteen is the highest ranked online young adult sexuality resource but also the least funded and that the youth who need us most are also the least able to donate. You might not know that we have done all we have with a budget lower than the median annual household income in the U.S. You might not know we have provided the services we have to millions without any federal, state or local funding and that we are fully independent media which depends on public support to survive and grow.
You also might not know Scarleteen is primarily

1) USERS: I just want to say thanks for a great product, and to all the people complaining about problems running apup or getting updates, need to delete their apup directory, upgrade to windows to sp3 and then install a fresh copy of apup, and rerun. And, in the future if you happen to find apup is no longer working again, the same rinse/repeat cycle works wonders. The only disadvantage is that you have to redownload updates. Maybe there's another solution to this, but this has worked for me.
2) USERS: Also, I figured out why autopatcher updater would sometimes freeze when trying to download patches and I would have to re-run it. It only ever happens when apup loses focus, e.g. if I click another window or another window happens to popup and steal focus. It seems like the network thread (maybe it is a vb.net timer and/or relies on wndproc window messages and/or only fires in the onpaint event?) stops and fails to restart when focus from the window is lost. Basically, the solution for most users until the author patches autopatcher, is to make sure you don't use your computer, and close down all background processes before running apup so they don't popup anything. If you do this, you'll get a perfect autopatcher update every time. Note: AutoPatcher itself does not suffer from losing focus, this is only the updater.
3) THE PROGRAMMER ONLY: My suggestion is to write your own network thread WITHOUT using timers or whatever you're using (onpaint?) for downloading updates/updating progress bar. I'm pretty certain this is the root of the problem. I know you're a busy man, and I really appreciate the hard work you've put into the product. And, with all the people complaining it may not seem like it, but a lot of other people appreciate it too.
p.s. I love autopatcher, thank you so much for writing/maintaining it. I've suggested it to all my friends.
I hope this helps everyone. This thing has really helped me keep my system up to date, and I don't know what I would do without it.
