"Spicy Pie does some things right.
"The downtown restaurant's hand-tossed pizza crusts are better than the alternative. Offering a reasonable facsimile of a thin crust, double-sized, genuine fold-it-in-half New York-style pizza by the slice makes good sense. And selling the slices for $2 a piece keeps budget-minded family diners happy."

Amazing work on the landscapes once again. Great prospective POVing.
The extra dark clouds in the background seem a bit off to me though.
I know what you were trying to do with them, but they just seem out
of contrast to the rest of the sky content, and seem to interrupt
the progression. Actually maybe it's the white clouds that are a bit
out of place now that I study it a bit more. I'm not sure now, but
either the progression of the background clouds should be reversed
or something should be done with the too-white clouds.
I like the design of the Braelith, though the front paws on the one
walking on all fours don't quite seem consistent with having
opposable thumbs, though I know it's hard to put much detail in that
small a space. The rest of the poses seem fairly natural and
"alive". The solitary one sitting in the far off cave raised a
question of how did it get there. You show all the others climbing
vines or walking on a ledge, but none are climbing the actual bare
cliff face. It's possible the cave connects somewhere else, but it
did prompt me to wonder.
What I do love is the subtle shading on the cliff face and the
forest below. For the most part the shading obviously follows the
prominent light source, and I like the subdued colors of the fauna
throughout the pic.
I always like your landscape/setting drawings and this one did not
disappoint Hope this helps and keep up the good work! ^.^

Food Safety: Focus on Real Risks, Not Fake Ones
Disease microbes, nutrient shortages and lack of access are greatest threats, not biotechnology. Contamination of fish and meat with parasites, or grains with mold toxins, are also significant food health hazards.
By Professors Bruce Chassy, Ph.D., and David Tribe, Ph.D.
The safety of food components obtained from genetically modified crops is part of a much bigger issue of food safety. Food safety is a complex but fascinating topic to discuss, because food is itself is both chemically very complicated and absolutely essential for human survival. Food's wonderful flavors, colors and aromas all come from an extraordinarily large chemical palette that we all delight in savoring when taking a delicious mouthful.

Most of them probably don't care that much, and there are a few who do think I'm nuts when I'm gearing up with a headlamp, gloves and a running jacket to run when it's dark and rainy outside; but there are a few whose support is really great. They may secretly think I'm crazy when they comment on how impressive my nearly one-year running streak is, but they're proud when I come in to work with an age group ribbon to put on my board.
What's it like at your work? Do you get support from your co-workers, or is your running not really a big deal outside of your home life? (And if your company is really supportive, feel free to give them a shout out with a comment to this post!)

13 September 2013
By Clive White
Photo: Fresh Focus- Andy MuellerEcuador's Davis Cup team
NEUCHATEL, SWITZERLAND - Probably not since Ecuador beat Great Britain on grass at Wimbledon in 2000 have the South Americans had such an opportunity to shock the tennis world as they have this weekend against Switzerland in Neuchatel – and even then one of the stars of that stupefying victory doesn't believe it would compare with what the South Americans achieved against Tim Henman, Greg Rusedski and all over that July weekend 13 years ago, immediately after the Wimbledon Championships.
The occasions are similar inasmuch as there is a gulf in class between the sides now as there pretty much was then and that Ecuador are playing in conditions that are foreign to them – an indoor hard court now, the hallowed turf of No. 1 Court at SW19 in 2000.
Nicolas Lapentti, who shocked Rusedski in the opening rubber of that tie, is here in Neuchatel in his role as president of the Ecuador tennis federation and well remembers the tie, not least because his 17-year-old younger brother Giovanni won the deciding rubber from two sets to love down against Britain's Arvind Parmar. Poor Parmar never lived down the loss.
"I remember people [in Britain] didn't like very much that we jumped on the court and started celebrating in the way we do in South America," said the 36-year-old Lapentti, who has been practising with the Ecuador team in Switzerland. "The emotions that we had after winning that final rubber and the tie, I think it's going to be tough to do something similar here. And, of course, it was the first time after probably 40 years that Ecuador was going back to the World Group.
"I think they [the British team] probably underestimated us. I also remember a former Great Britain captain in the newspapers saying that a team from a blind school could beat us – those kind of things helped to motivate us."
Lapentti thought it a little harsh that Parmar should have shouldered the blame for the defeat. "I think he saw victory very close and probably got a bit tight," said Lapentti, who is Ecuador's most successful Davis Cup singles player. "Of course, playing at home can help you a lot or put you down.
"Maybe Greg had a bigger fault. He really should have beat me and played doubles [with Henman]. And then he came back the next year with Great Britain and beat me on clay in Ecuador, so that was big revenge for him and a bad loss for me."

You're not a stranger to the organization. You were a key part of the team that has been working on this transition in Texas, but talk a little bit about how your position has changed now that you're the CTO. What's it like now, and how's it different?
Well, you know, I've been on the job about nine days. I think this is day 10, so you might have to ask me that question as a follow up. But honestly, I can give you the short answer. I served as the interim chief technology officer for the state for the preceding five months. So I can tell you based on the last five months, very little has changed from Friday May 25th, which I think was my first official day and Thursday May 24th. There is accountability to execute on some very strategic initiatives - that's our data center services initiative; telecommunications initiative; keeping our information communications technology, or ICT, cooperative contract program vibrant and meeting the needs of our constituents. I would say probably the biggest difference at this point is that I feel fully accountable, and you know, I love accountability. I think it's a very healthy pressure. I like that pressure, and I want that pressure in a constructive way to permeate both my staff within the Department of Information Resources and IT officials across Texas government.
Will people notice significant differences in the way you're going to do things and the way things were under former CTO Larry Olson?
I want to be really clear. Cliff Mountain, our new board chair for DIR, has stated this very eloquently - and I would agree - that we have a vision intact, and I covered that a moment ago. We have a mission intact. Our focus has got to be on executing on that mission. So in terms of vision, will our vision manifest itself in different ways than it's been documented to date? Certainly. Innovation is going to be a huge platform for me, and that will be part of our vision. But my focus is introspective in one regard, and that is we must execute on what I perceive to be a very well thought out, very well architected vision. It's taken us three years to define and refine that vision. Our focus will be on execution, so you will not see a holistic change in the vision, you will see an evolution - an incremental evolution to improve on the vision, but not revamp it.
How do you work with other leadership to fulfill the vision?
First and foremost, it's about relationships. We have a lot of synergy with the Governor's Office, but we also have synergy with legislative leadership. It does get back to relationships, making sure the Legislature understands from our perspective that we are driven by the business necessity in Texas, the agencies' business. We are here to serve. We do want to be accountable. In fact, we embrace accountability and with that as our backdrop, the bottom line is we're here to execute public policy. We do not define public policy. That is a legislative activity and a Governor's Office activity, but we do execute public policy and we do it in the most effective and efficient means, and in the most accountability-driven fashion that we possible can.
In your first question you talked about what's ahead for DIR or what's in store for Texas. I know I've emphasized executing on the mission, but what I mean by that is implementation and management of what I call managed service delivery. That's things like telecommunications services, data center services, our state Web portal, which is TexasOnline. That's certainly going to be a huge emphasis. I talked earlier about the information and communications technology cooperative contracting program essentially to

Gold traders in India, the world's biggest buyer of the metal, continued to pick up bargains for a second consecutive week fearing further price rise, after prices rose nearly 1 percent from the lowest level in more than 18 months. An 11 per cent lump in gold prices since last week released years of pent-up demand, resulting in a supply shortage in the physical market, triggering higher premiums.
"There are a lot of deals as people are comfortable at these levels. All are saying prices may go up any time," said a dealer with a state-run bullion importing bank.
However, the federal government has been trying to keep a lid on bulging imports to counter the record high current account deficit.
The actively traded gold for June delivery on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) was 249 rupees higher at 26,296 rupees per 10 grams at 0849 GMT, after hitting a low of 25,270 rupees, a level last seen in September 2011.
The rupee, which weakened on Monday, plays an important role in determining the landed cost of the dollar-quoted yellow metal.
Gold in the overseas market jumped more than 2 percent after a rebound above $1,400 ignited technical buying, but sentiment was shaky as steady outflows from exchange-traded funds trimmed their bullion holdings to the lowest in three year.
May silver on the MCX was 215 rupees higher at 43,638 rupees per kg.

Caring for a Newborn Puppy (cont.)
When Should Puppies Have Their First Vet Checkup?
Assuming the pups appear healthy, most veterinarians recommend that they receive their first round of standard vaccinations at six weeks of age. Deworming and a physical examination can begin at an early age. Consult with your veterinarian to schedule your puppies' preventative health plan. However, you should call your vet immediately if a puppy exhibits any of the following symptoms:

Venture firm Freestyle Capital held a final close for its second fund just over its $40m target amid hiring SimpleHoney co-founder Joyce Kim as a principal.
AltAssets revealed in February that the firm was within touching distance of its target having gathered $35.9m from 49 LPs according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
At that point Freestyle Capital Fund II was already a third bigger than Freestyle's $27m debut vehicle, which hit a final close in September 2011 thanks to commitments from Cendana Capital and Hall Capital.
The seed-stage investor, which was launched by John Felser and Dave Samuel in 2009, also acts as a mentor for internet software startups.
Freestyle focuses on making early-stage startup investments between $100,000 and $500,000.
Kim, who revealed his hire and the fund close in a blog post, said Freestyle was also launching a bridge financing programme of up to $1m for its portfolio companies.

Let Me Organize my Mind...
Thursday, April 18, 2013
I have been doing pretty much excellent on my eating habits and my food tracking. I find myself having difficulty with the workouts. I just need to get on the ball! It's so much easier said than done. I have a thousand things going on and by the time I'm done, I'm just crashing from the caffeine, which is another story..... Sigh.
I am really glad I found the concept of committing to the ten minute workouts daily, it REALLY helps me mentally. I have a lot of stress swirling around right now, I graduate nursing school next week, which is exciting, but the stress of pulling it all together it can be challenging.
I have been thinking about doing up some quotes and hanging them in the workout room for motivation, just a few. Less is more. And I still want to do a goal/motivation board.
And the whole caffeine thing, it's getting out of hand again. I will do better. I will give up half. I think 2 cups of coffee a day, and 1 diet Pepsi every other day is fair. I need to drastically increase my water. I can do tea sometimes instead of coffee or diet Pepsi, I don't mind caffeine free tea, still tastes good and is comforting in the evening instead of a snack.
So recently I discovered I obsess about food. Food is on my mind way too much, about wanting to eat, not wanting to eat, what should/shouldn't I eat, what shouldn't I of ate, what I want to try to eat....sigh....it's too much. I've been doing it for so long, I'm not sure how to stop, it is in the books to be worked on. It is too excessive. The visuals Spark Coach offers do help with that a bit.
So anyways, that's it for now! Thanks for reading! Leave me feedback! I LOVE comments, they are motivating!!!!!!!!!!

I've learned the if diet or a regular soda was consumed, I start craving foods. Foods will be on my mind all day long. So, I cut out the sodas totally and the food cravings went away. It also helped with the water drinking. I try to drink at least half the water intake by noon. Good luck and congrats on graduating next week!

I too have had a problem with thinking about food all the time. It has gotten better this year though. I am taking a class at Church for "overcomers". My problem is I have a food addiction. But, even before the class started I started working on doing other things and thinking about other things. We do control our thoughts even though it is hard. It takes practice.
Wishing you GREAT success!!!

Dates contain a lot of sugar which sometimes makes it an unfavorable item for diabetics. Dates also contain vitamin A, thiamine, and complex of vitamin B, folate, vitamin C, and vitamin E, vitamin K, along with minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc.
Dates can provide fiber and are fat and cholesterol free. These fruits, fresh or dried, are the perfect energy snack. It contains fructose, sucrose and glucose which is what makes it naturally sweet. In the countries where dates are popular, they are often used to break fasts. The potassium in the dates gives it heart-strengthening capability. The magnesium in it makes the bones stronger and helps metabolism. It also has mild laxative properties so consuming the fruit can also help constipation and sluggish digestive systems. Dates have also been used in tonics to improve the health of reproductive organs. This fruit is also known to strengthen uterine walls and therefore is known to help in labor for pregnant women. It can also help new mothers in improving lactation while boosting their health and immunity.
Dates are popular not only because of their accessibility and availability but also because they can benefit the body in so many great ways. The same benefits do not apply to people suffering from diabetes. Though dates are low in carbohydrates, their high sugar content makes them one of the red-letter items as far as diabetes goes. Dates have no cholesterol or protein and its carbohydrate content is largely made of sugar. Therefore, diabetics are allowed dates only in small amounts and as a part of a healthy meal plan.
Dates, along with other healthy but relatively unsafe foods for diabetes like peanuts and honey, often get a bad rap. These foods are, however, good for reducing bad cholesterol or LDL. For diabetics in particular portion control of these foods becomes very important. There are current studies being conducted to identify how the glycemic index could be affected if dates are had in conjunction with other foods like yogurt or whole grain cereal. More on diabetes symptoms and causes
A glycemic index is basically an index categorizing the food based on how quickly the body digests it and converts it into glucose. Glucose for diabetics needs to be controlled. High-glycemic foods are usually refined foods, sugar and most carbohydrates. Vegetables and fruits are generally low glycemic foods. This, however, does not hold true for some fruits and vegetables. Dates fall in that category, which is why dates are not readily recommended for people with diabetes. On-going research looks at how dates can be evaluated better on the glycemic index. Currently dates are quite high on this list because of its high sugar content. More dieticians and health professional are open to including few dates in combination with other elements like whole grains and vegetables, just like they are included in food in the Middle East. Newer research on the glycemic index indicates that just categorizing food on the basis of the sugar assimilation may not be the right way to do it. There are no obvious side effects of eating too many dates but regularly consuming a high number of dates can increase your risk to type 2 diabetes or the insulin resistant diabetes.

Oregon rolls 35-17 over Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl
GLENDALE, Ariz. –- As the final seconds ticked off the clock with Oregon up 35-17 on Kansas State in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, a rumble spread through the Oregon cheering section.
"We want Chip! We want Chip! We want Chip!" the Oregon fans chanted as the Ducks took a knee to bleed out the clock and clinch their second straight BCS-bowl win.
The chant was a reference to the question marks surrounding Oregon coach Chip Kelly, who, in the last four years, has taken the Ducks to the pinnacle of college football success with his trademark up-tempo spread offense.
Kelly's revolutionary offense has made him a hot commodity in NFL circles, and on Thursday night, the Ducks once again showed the country why.
Despite starting slow in the first half, No. 4 Oregon (12-1) outran, outpaced and outplayed the Big 12 champion Wildcats (11-2).
But even the term "starting slow" is relative in reference to the Ducks.
Oregon dashed to a one-touchdown lead when De'Anthony Thomas ran the opening kickoff back for a 94-yard score.
Thomas would score again two drives later, on a 23-yard reception from quarterback Marcus Mariota.
The sophomore running back finished as the Ducks' leading receiver, with 60 yards on four receptions. Just one more indication that even with leading rusher Kenjon Barner graduating, and Kelly possibly leaving for the NFL, the cupboard is far from bare for the Ducks in 2013.
Oregon's 15-0 lead after the first quarter was the second-largest margin in Fiesta Bowl history.
But K-State showed plenty of fight early on.
Heisman finalist Collin Klein kept his team in the game almost until halftime, completing 11-of-18 passes for 104 yards and rushing for the Wildcats' first touchdown on a 6-yard second quarter scamper.
The Wildcats crept within five points of the Ducks when Anthony Cantele nailed a 25-yard field goal on the next offensive series.
The defense did its part by forcing two consecutive three-and-outs, and then shutting down Oregon's attempt at a fake punt on fourth-and-4 from the 50.
The momentum swung in favor of K-State, and with optimal field position from the 50, Klein completed passes of 12, 11 and five yards to get the offense down to the Oregon 23
Then it all unraveled.
With K-State poised to try for a fourth down conversion on fourth-and-1, left tackle Cornelius Lucas got jumpy, and the normally disciplined Wildcats drew what turned out to be a game-changing 5-yard false start penalty.
"It was a big swing," K-State coach Bill Snyder said. "It was mistakes like that during the course of the first half that were instrumental in probably where we were in the first half. We had our opportunities."
Facing fourth-and-6, the Wildcats changed course and brought out their kicker again. Cantele, a Lou Groza Award semifinalist, had been rock-steady for K-State all season, and he went into the game 18-of-21 on the year.
But he missed from 40 yards out.
Like sharks smelling blood, the Oregon offense bounded back onto the field.
Mariota needed only five plays and 53 seconds to march the Ducks 77 yards and hit Barner on a 24-yard touchdown pass.
Just like that, less than a minute after K-State could have cut its deficit to two, the Ducks went into the locker room with a 22-10 lead.
The second half was all Oregon.
The Ducks scored on two of their three third quarter possessions, and put the game out of reach by the end of the third quarter.
K-State didn't score again until midway through the fourth quarter, when John Hubert caught a 10-yard pass from Klein.

Dancing With The Stars
Derek Hough Explains How He, Mark Ballas and Julianne Hough Joined DWTS
Dancing With the Stars had already aired three seasons before Julianne Hough joined the show, and it was only after she won her first season that her older brother Derek Hough and their childhood friend Mark Ballas joined as pros too.
As Derek explains in his new book, Taking the Lead (via an excerpt in Parade), Julianne convinced him to join the DWTS Season 3 tour, dancing with others from the show. Afterward, Julianne was offered, and accepted, a spot as a competing pro on DWTS Season 4, which she would ultimately win with Apolo Anton Ohno. While she was competing, Derek returned to London, where he was focused on his band with Mark, called Almost Amy.
However, Derek did go to L.A. to do a guest number with Julianne during Season 4, and then-producer — now showrunner — Rob Wade came up to him and asked if he had any interest in joining the next season. As Derek put it, in his book:
I didn't even need a minute to think it over. "Nope," I replied. "Thanks, but it's not really what I want to do."
Derek said he didn't want to just go off to the U.S. without Mark, since they were very much a team working on music.
But a few months later, the producers called Derek again. So he talked to Mark about it, knowing it would be a huge transition. The good news on that front is, while he was considering his options, Mark got a call too. He had sent in an audition tape and the producers were interested in him as well. Derek shares what happened from there:
"Dude, if we're going to do this, then let's do it together," I told him. So that was it. We literally just packed our guitars and one suitcase apiece, and boarded a plane. I was aware that being on a live TV show in front of millions of people every week would likely change my life forever. I went into it very excited but also nervous. I knew a lot of the pros already through the ballroom circles, and I knew how good they were. I was coming in as a world youth champion — which is a big step below being a champion in the amateur or professional divisions. But on DWTS, the playing field was leveled.
The rest is history. Derek's first partner, on Season 5, was Jennie Garth of Beverly Hills, 90210. Mark had the infamously robbed Sabrina Bryan. Julianne won Season 5, her second in a row, with Helio Castroneves. Mark won Season 6 with Kristi Yamaguchi. Derek took his first win on Season 7 with Brooke Burke. Then Mark won again with Shawn Johnson. Julianne left the show after Season 8, but Derek went on to win Seasons 10, 11, 16 and 17, giving him more trophies than any other pro.
So, yeah, it's safe to say DWTS changed their lives forever. And it's not done changing them — we hope to see all three of them back in the ballroom, even if they aren't all competing as pros. The three stars are now busy with other side projects, but hopefully they get such a thrill out of performing live for millions of viewers that they follow the siren call back to the DWTS ballroom. There are worse ways to make a living!
DWTS Season 19 premieres Monday, September 15 from 8 to 10 p.m. ET on ABC.

AP Sports Writer
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) -- Marshall Henderson scored 27 points, Murphy Holloway added 15 and Mississippi pulled away in the second half to beat Coastal Carolina 90-72 on Tuesday night.
The 6-foot-2 Henderson was hot from the start, knocking down three early 3-pointers to keep the Rebels close in the first half. Coastal Carolina took a 39-36 halftime lead.
But the Chanticleers couldn't keep the momentum, giving up a 21-8 run to the Rebels early in the second half. Henderson was right in the middle of it, and his back-to-back 3-pointers minutes later put the Rebels (2-0) up 71-53.
Holloway notched his 27th career double-double, leading the Rebels with 12 rebounds. Nick Williams added 11 points.
Anthony Raffa led Coastal Carolina (1-1) with 20 points. Michael Enanga added 10 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists.

Va. Tech gunman kills officer, later found dead
BLACKSBURG, Va. A gunman killed a police officer in a Virginia Tech parking lot Thursday and was found dead nearby in a baffling attack that sent shudders through the campus nearly five years after it was the scene of the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history.
The shooting took place on the same day Virginia Tech officials were in Washington, fighting a government fine over their alleged mishandling of the 2007 bloodbath.
Before it became clear that the gunman in Thursday's attack was dead, the school applied the lessons learned during the last tragedy, locking down the campus and using a high-tech alert system to warn students and faculty members to stay indoors.
The officer was killed after pulling a driver over in a traffic stop. The gunman - who was not involved in the traffic stop - walked into the parking lot and shot the officer, Sgt. Robert Carpentieri said. Police wouldn't talk about a motive.
A law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity confirmed the gunman was dead, but wouldn't say how.
It appeared the gunman died about a quarter-mile away from the traffic stop, in another school parking lot, where officials said a man was found dead with a gun nearby. While police at a news conference wouldn't confirm the second body was the gunman, Carpentieri said "you can kind of read between the lines."
The shooting prompted a lockdown that lasted for about four hours.
"Today, tragedy again struck Virginia Tech," said university president Charles Steger. "Our hearts are broken again."
The officer had served on the campus police force for four years. State police were still investigating whether he had been specifically targeted.
Sudents were preparing for exams were suddenly told to hunker down. Heavily armed officers walked around campus as caravans of SWAT vehicles and other police cars with emergency lights flashing patrolled nearby.
"A lot of people, especially toward the beginning were scared," said Jared Brumfield, a 19-year-old freshman from Culpeper, Va., who was locked in the Squires Student Center since around 1:30 p.m.
The university sent updates about every 30 minutes, regardless of whether they had any new information, school spokesman Mark Owczarski said.
"It's crazy that someone would go and do something like that with all the stuff that happened in 2007," said Corey Smith, a 19-year-old sophomore from Mechanicsville, Va., who was headed to a dining hall near the site of one of the shootings.
He told The Associated Press that he stayed inside after seeing the alerts from the school. "It's just weird to think about why someone would do something like this when the school's had so many problems," Smith said.
Harry White, 20, a junior physics major, said he was in line for a sandwich at a restaurant in a campus building when he received the text message alert.
White said he didn't panic, thinking instead about a false alarm about a possible gunman that locked down the campus in August. White used an indoor walkway to go to a computer lab in an adjacent building, where he checked news reports.
"I decided to just check to see how serious it was. I saw it's actually someone shooting someone, not something false, something that looks like a gun," White said.
Campus was quieter than usual because classes ended Wednesday and students were preparing for exams, which were to begin Friday. The school postponed those tests.
The shooting came soon after the conclusion of a hearing where Virginia Tech was appealing a $55,000 fine by the U.S. Education Department in connection with the university's response to the 2007 rampage.

@RSMick According to PBM themselves their own bike won't be ready to race until 2014. Even then I'm doubtful. PBM have no experience in building a chassis from the ground up let alone an engine and yet here they are claiming they are going to build their own chassis and engine.
I doubt they could build an engine that would comply with CRT regs, R&D costs being what they are the unit cost would be way above the claiming price. So they're talking about building an engine from scratch in two years that can compete with the likes of Honda and Yamaha. 10/10 for ambition, but 0/10 for realism.

This is, like, Class War activist utopia.
A blog (from "web blog") is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed newest first. All Corrente posts are front-paged; there is no up-rate or down-rate process. Corrente posts are almost entirely community moderated. We encourage a clash of ideas, and do not encourage a clash of persons.
If you are the author of this post, see the Edit tab ad Help (and Advanced Help) for detailed documentation.
[UPDATE I added a link to a video at the bottom of the post.]
Now that the election is over and I am done with Campaign Countdown (at least for awhile)--
And even though I have not yet cleaned out my man cave --
Here is an image (click to see a larger version) of a (well, the) redesigned Corrente. I'll be creating videos for edification and instruction, so I won't go through the details here, but the basic concept is to make Corrente the best place to create content in the blogosphere, bar none.
Some would say that Corrente already is the best place to create content on the web -- and certainly this community punches far about its weight in terms of propagating ideas and getting reposted -- but there are many improvements that can be made, including new content types like logo art, incident reports, and products, and better integration with twitter and Facebook.
UPDATE Here is a video.
This is, like, Class War activist utopia.
I can't wait to experiment with it.
One thing - where's Shop Left? The tussock moth caterpillar slippers aren't going to sell themselves!
I am folding that functionality into Corrente proper. I don't have the bandwidth to run two sites -- although I learned a huge amount technically from that site.
I don't think that users are going to wreck the brand, though there might be moderation issues.
i really, really, really like all the changes you've made.
i used to dislike the 'fat footer' construction when i first started seeing it at other blogs, but i do think it's going to work out better than having two sidebars.
one thing, if it's not too hard to change... the line that starts out 'send author a message ___ reads ...' - can the spacing between the items be improved a little? from here it looks like you're supposed to click on the twitter bird to submit spam, for instance. speaking of spam, not sure i like the phrase 'submit spam' - maybe change it to 'flag as spam' or something like that?
there's no 'my blog'? is that replaced by 'my posts'?
thanks for the picture captions. i'm looking forward to finding out where some of the places i've seen in the header are in real life.
... because of the annotation tool, and may end up different on the real site.
Anyhow, I've improved the contact form to allow submission of bug reports, so closer launch....
you say "live tweet"--does that mean that any time that we "tweet" a blog from Corrente, that it shows up there? Of, is this for only incoming Tweets. [Some of us, like me, are tech novices.]
So, I haven't a clue what that function does. But it sounds good! :D
For future documentation....
1. The sidebar box contains tweets in. The same box also allows you to tweet out. The "tweets in" is fitlered by tag, e.g. #ows. If the tweet out contained the same tag, .e.g. #ows, then it should shortly show up in twieets in.
2. There will also be a tweet button at the bottom of every post, and
3. A field to enter a tweet when you create content (more of a one-step thing than going to the separate button in #2.
This is dependent on your having a twitter account and adding your twitter account name in your user profile.
Goes without saying and I know for me it has been too long.
So when does this launch? Will it automatically go to mobile if you are on a device? Will it auto scale the width to the width of your browser window, rather than your entire screen width (so that, in windoze, if you have your start bar vertical on the left or right border, the new wider widths will be sized so everything is on screen)? Will it replace Lambert, Lambert, Lambert, Lambert with the archive names for each month in the right-most veritcal menu bar?
It's probably an issue on my mobile browser (Dolphin, Android Google), but when I would go to post a comment, the first field, the comment title, would always fill in with my user id. Then when you first hit "post", it would go to the preview view and rewrite what you have in the comment bar with your user id again and you would have to correct that.
In fact I'd like to cut over on the weekend, although that takes a lot of work.
1. The theme I have used is "adaptive" and based on a highly regarded library, and shoud be able to adapt to mobile devices. That was one of my goals, and generational -- those bright young people at occupy are using cells, and we need to be able to bring Corrente to them. That said, I don't own a cell and I should probably figure out a way to get one so I can test the design on iit without getting sucked into their data mining operations.
2. You surmise correctly that I have held off on the fundraiser until the upgrade iis done (and in a real high wire act for me). But soon!
3. I would like to do the cut over soon, perhaps this coming weekend. I figure if people can do basic posting I can tweak the rest. It's a HUGE task, though. We have 36,000+ posts.....
NOTE Yes, lambert lambert lambert will go away! It's a really stupid bug I finally figured out, but there's no point investing in fix it, or rather, the fix is the upgrade....
I'm using tumblr now, so I was wondering.
Looks great though, very sleek.
I'll installl the module and see if it works (and I hope you'll be willing to test).
Often, however, drupal modules that promise connectivity to social media sites make the assumption that only one account is going to use the social media service. That doesn't work real well for a community blog....
UPDATE The module I tried only works for one account. I will keep poking around.

The findings of an official inquiry "examin[ing] the facts and circumstances" surrounding the September 11 attack in Benghazi were released Tuesday. The report, conducted by an independent Accountability Review Board convened by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, criticized the State Department for "Systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels" that "resulted in a special mission security posture that was inadequate for Benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place."
Despite clear threats in the area, the report concluded that security in Benghazi was "short-term, transitory", and "relatively inexperienced." It also found "a pervasive realization among personnel who served in Benghazi that the Special Mission was not a high priority for Washington when it came to security-related requests." The State Department ignored requests from the embassy in Tripoli for more security at the Benghazi mission and failed to make the necessary safety upgrades. Moreover, it cited that dependence on the Libyan February 17 Martyrs' Brigade militia and unarmed guards for security was "misplaced." The board highlighted that no guards were stationed outside the compound before the attack, and that by the time of the attack the militia had stopped protecting special mission vehicles in protest of their salary.

The tragic September 11 Benghazi attack underscored the notion that Islamic terrorists have gained room to maneuver in many countries affected by the Arab uprisings. How Washington chooses to respond to the attack, and the Accountability Review Board's report, may determine whether or not terrorists are given the opportunity to conduct similar attacks in the future.

"Wish You Were Here"
Synopsis: Expectant couple Alice and Dave travel to Cambodia on holiday with Alice's sister Steph and her boyfriend Jeremy, but Jeremy tragically disappears, leading to the revelation of shattering secrets.
What You Need To Know: Australian filmmaking collective Blue Tongue Films has turned a lot of heads in the last few years, thanks principally to excellent gangster tale "Animal Kingdom," and they're only likely to gain more attention now that member Joel Edgerton is on the rise. Before his role in "The Great Gatsby," he'll start off 2012 with the latest Blue Tongue production, helmed by Kieran Darcy-Smith, who had a supporting role in 'Kingdom.' With fellow rising star Teresa Palmer and the film's co-writer Felicity Price in support, the film looks extremely promising from the early trailer, and given the company's track record to date, this has to be one of the most anticipated films of the festival.
When? Sundance - 19th, 20th, 25th, 27th (Park City), 20th (SLC), 21st (Ogden)
"The Words"
Synopsis: A struggling writer passes off a lost manuscript as his own, only to find the decision coming back to haunt him.
What You Need To Know: Given that he became something of a superstar after "Limitless" and "The Hangover Part II" in 2011, kudos to Bradley Cooper for making his next film an indie, albeit one with more A-list talent than most. Written and directed by actor Brian Klugman and "Tron: Legacy" story-writer Lee Sternthal, this looks to be an unusually adult, literate kind of morality play, the kind of film that doesn't get made much anymore. And there's more than enough star wattage to sell it to audiences. Cooper is joined by Zoe Saldana, Olivia Wilde, Jeremy Irons, Dennis Quaid, Ben Barnes, Ron Rifkin, J.K. Simmons, John Hannah, Zeljko Ivanek and Michael McKean, which probably helps to explain its closing-night status. Klugman and Sternthal are pretty much unknown quantities, but their script has to be pretty strong to attract this many big names, right?
When? Sundance - 22nd & 23rd (Park City), 27th (Ogden), 28th (SLC).
Synopsis: Dolph Springer wakes up to discover that the only thing he loves in life, his dog, has disappeared. He sets out onto the L.A. streets to find him, encountering a variety of weird and wonderful characters along the way.
What You Need To Know: French filmmaker Quentin Dupiex, aka electro artist Mr. Oizo, had a bit of a midnight movie success with psychic-killer-tire-that-makes-heads-explode movie "Rubber" last year. While his follow-up might sound a little more down-to-earth, everything we've seen so far suggests otherwise, right down to the lead character's name -- Dolph Springer (as played by TV actor Jack Plotnick). There's a few more recognizable faces in the mix, including Alexis Dziena and, most excitingly, a heavily-scarred, ponytailed William Fichtner, who's sure to steal the show. The Sundance catalogue promises another playful, rule-breaking piece of cinema, and, if nothing else, we're assured another banging soundtrack courtesy of Dupieux's alter ego, this time collaborating with French fuzzpop band Tahiti Boy and the Palmtree Family
When? Sundance - 21st, 24th, 26th and 27th (Park City,) 22nd (SLC.)
Honorable Mentions: Things that we didn't have quite the space for include "The Motel Life," which stars Dakota Fanning and Emile Hirsch, from the Polsky Brothers; "Yellow," which marks the return of Nick Cassavettes, with a cast led by Sienna Miller; "The Wait," with Chloe Sevigny and Jena Malone, about two sisters guarding their mother's body in case she comes back to life; and "The English Teacher," with Julianne Moore.
Also on the way from the U.S: the Jeff Buckley-themed drama "Greetings From Tim Buckley," starring Imogen Poots and Penn Badgley; porn biopic "Lovelace," with Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard; ensemble drama "Disconnect," with Jason Bateman, Alexander Skarsgard, and Paula Patton; Billy Bob Thornton's return to direction with "Jayne Mansfield's Car" and "Ma George," from "Restless City" director Andrew Dosunmu.
And from across the pond, other entries include Felicity Jones in "Cheerful Weather For The Wedding"; Ken Loach's "The Angel's Share"; Irish drama "What Richard Did," from the acclaimed director of "Garage," Lenny Abrahamson; and horror combo "Cockneys Vs. Zombies" and "Tower Block," both from "Severance" writer James Moran.

The only thing I was able to find even resembling the word Puuko was the word "puukko," which is a Finnish or Scandinavian woodcutter's or hunter's knife. In the case of this site, there is no slicing and dicing, just some hentai, manga and more. They call it the "ultimate hentai site" and it's up to me to tell you if such a claim is reasonable.
There are currently 155 movies to check out on Puuko. The content is taken from various DVDs and while some are dubbed in English, others are in Japanese. They can be streamed in an embedded player and downloaded as MP4 files and they all offer good-quality playback.
There are also 7,193 image galleries filled with hentai, doujin (anime fan art) and manga comics. You will see high-res pictures in many cases and you always have the option to download them in Zip files. I should mention that some of the drawings have the naughty bits blurred out as is usually the case with Japanese porn.
You also get 65 hentai games to download, including well-known titles like "Bible Black: The Infection." There are some helpful tips explaining the steps involved in extracting the installation files from their compressed formats, but not everyone will find it easy to understand.
They do say that if you can't find an answer to one of your questions, then you should contact them for more info. At any rate, access to these cool games once you've figured out how to install them seems to be one of the more worthwhile features on the site.
Your membership also allows you to access the entire All Japanese Pass network of 20+ sites, meaning you can visit Idols 69, O Creampies, Big Tits Tokyo and Anal Nippon. They all bring you live-action Asian babes in hardcore action, sometimes with the genitalia blurred and other times not.
In the end, whether Puuko really is the "ultimate hentai site" or not is up for debate, but there's no denying that it's a pretty good collection. Although, I do want to mention that they haven't added any new videos since October 2012. As for photo updates, none of the galleries are dated, but it looks like there haven't posted any since April 2013.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

The electroformed component (EFC) technology for mass production that was uniquely developed by OMRON is finding an even wider range of applications.OMRON previously achieved results by applying EFC technology to FPC (flexible printed circuit) connectors and battery connectors and now has expanded EFC technology to develop a probe pin with a new structure for semiconductor inspection devices and has developed a mass production system. The newly developed probe pin can be used for inspection of semiconductor devices with ultra-narrow pitches, something that was difficult with previous pins. The new probe pin will help to increase the reliability of inspection data.
OMRON announced the start of mass production of FPC connectors and battery connectors using EFC in 2011. These connectors attracted the attention of many technicians as soon as they were announced.
We introduced electroforming technology into the fabrication of the metal parts of connectors, which were previously formed with presswork. This enabled forming narrow parts with an aspect ratio (sheet thickness to sheet width) of 1 or less, and parts with a small radius with bending characteristics (radius divided by sheet thickness) of 2 more. These were not possible with traditional presswork.Furthermore, with EFC technology, burs on cut edges and warping (undercutting) that are unavoidable with presswork do not occur.
These characteristics enable narrower terminal pitches and extensive reductions in overall connector size than previously possible. And contact force and other mechanical and electrical characteristics are also improved.
"Battery connectors with terminals that were downsized through the use of EFC technology allowed us to suppress contact failures by increasing terminal followability of the battery for drop vibrations. As a result, system operation is further stabilized. This advantage has been highly praised by many cell phone manufacturers. The trend to use battery connectors with terminals that use EFC technology is steadily spreading. These parts are also used in smart phones that were recently marketed." (Mr. Kotake)
Ever since OMRON started EFC mass production, we have worked aggressively to develop EFC applications. And the fruits of those efforts include the new probe pin for semiconductor inspection devices and other applications (see Figure 1).
A probe pin is a slender pin-like part that is used to read electric signals from minute test points when measuring the electrical characteristics of ICs and other electronic parts. It is a key part that is essential in the test sockets that hold the ICs in the inspection devices and the probe cards that are built into the inspection devices.
OMRON developed a probe pin with EFC technology because of the increasing narrowness of terminals on semiconductor devices, which made it difficult to take measurements with previous probe pins. "The increasing density of the electronic components mounted in devices and the increased downsizing of IC packages are continuing to reduce the terminal pitch in PCB-IC connections." (Mr. Teranishi)
The package unit pitch for recent BGAs (ball grid arrays) is only 0.4 to 0.5 mm.「In a few years, it is expected to be 0.3 mm or less. "Even now, the previous probe pins are too large. It has already become difficult to touch terminals with adjacent probe pins without them coming into contact with each other. We started development because we saw the possibility of overcoming this problem with EFC technology, which is suitable for minute fabrication." (Mr. Teranishi)

COLLEGE STATION (AP) - The second anniversary of the Texas A&M University bonfire collapse that killed 12 Aggies and injured 27 others will be marked Sunday by announcing the four finalists in a design competition for a memorial to the disaster.
Two months ago the university put 176 memorial ideas on display, from which a nine-member jury would choose the four finalists.
The final design will be chosen March 7.
Designers of the four finalists are expected to be present at the 3 p.m. unveiling in the Memorial Student Center to discuss their concepts.
At least one of the jurors also is expected to attend to discuss the selection process.
Designs in the competition included a large marble reflecting pool placed next to an eternal flame, a 45-foot-tall sculpture of a phoenix and a garden with fruit and oak trees.
Most entries were from professionals, but some were created by students.
The 59-foot-high, wedding cake-like stack of logs collapsed Nov. 18, 1999.
Some designs incorporated names of those hurt and killed.
The 90-year-old bonfire tradition was suspended until at least November 2002 after a commission blamed the collapse on flawed construction techniques and a lack of supervision of students assembling the stack.
A steering committee is developing a revamped bonfire with greater school supervision and a professionally engineered design.

The word from IBM: Innovation in hub hot line program design for patient scrip data and clinical support services can lead to increased market share in the hotly contested specialty medicine space.
Why? Because thoughtful hub designs connect patients and physicians with easy to navigate tools that facilitate access, coverage, and information support for your specialty product. In short, they bridge the gap between patients needing your product and patients being able to obtain your product—quickly, safely, and easily, for the first time, and every time during a course of therapy that can often last the rest of their lives.In new and interesting ways, making the most of this common thread is becoming a key driver of competitive differentiation for top-tier biopharma providers. The good news is that companies can expect more from the advancing technologies that underlie hub services while paying less for superior performance against the status quo.
Changing tides
That biopharma-driven evolution and experimentation is alive today, but it continues to face some confusing cross-currents as specialty distributors, health plans, and PBMs seek to craft their own approaches to connecting patients to specialty products. In recent years, these industry players have aggressively acquired and consolidated hub service providers to secure greater control of prescription volume, a trend that has yielded mixed results for biopharma companies, patients, and physicians in clinical practice.
The moves are motivated by the ever-growing wave of new specialty therapies coming to market, as R&D dollars shift their focus to biologic drugs and other complex therapies geared to distinctive sub-sets of the patient population. The surge in new medicines is encouraging vendors who are less experienced in building traditional hub services or are entirely new to the space, as well as existing providers which are facing more sensitivity to the high-dollar price points of the latest specialty drugs. They in particular must confront the need to reconsider a well-worn operating model relying heavily on large-scale and off-site reimbursement staff operating at the speed of paper faxes and manual consent capture.
As a result, biopharma professionals are asking a series of important questions, the answers to which are reshaping hub modeling and design. The questions are designed to elicit better innovative solutions from service providers that are appropriate to the changing product mix and higher expectations of patients and payers.
The most pertinent questions include: Do I need a "lean" hub or a "full service" hub? How do I obtain better transparency and performance from my hub program? Are there models that give me better command and control of all the offerings integrated with the hub? How can my service offerings more efficiently connect with patients and physicians? Can I gain access to meaningful and customized product data in real time? How do I better support the surge in e-prescribing? What are the best designs and platforms to improve compliance for these key services while meeting tougher regulatory scrutiny? How do we best live up to the expectations that programs always put the patient first?
Many, if not all, of these questions boil down to one fundamental premise: that biopharma sponsors expect more, and deserve to pay less, for hub services in this new era of specialty products requiring more support services than the old world organized around small molecule primary care. Sponsors are more aware today that paying less for more is possible through the power of design-based innovation.

Subsidiary to the Spanish Endesa distributing electricity to 1.6 million customers in the State of Ceara. In 1998, Endesa acquired 51% of the voting rights through a consortium where the group has a 37.6% interest
(Endesa AR97, p. 48).
The company was privatised in April 1998 when 82% of the shares were sold.
The consortium was made up of Groups Endesa and Enersis (Enersis and Chilectra), with 37.55% and 25.92%, respectively, and CERJ, with the balance of 36.43%
After buying up an additional 2.27% of COELCE stock last month (EUWI, 24 July, 4), Endesa now owns -- directly and through CERJ and its Chilean holdings -- 59% of the distributor's capital.

I could've easily bought a new bike at EP pricing, but for the purpose of a gift of my labor, plus the bonus of depleting the bike boneyard, plus recycling in the purest sense, plus keeping the looks sedate enough to hopefully keep it from being stolen...no, I don't think a new bike would've been any better.
The frame does have some scratches, long rusty ones across the top tube. I think it's cool to have a bike with a history that shows, and having a few battle scars out of the way allows one to actually use the bike with no regrets. It's already been thrown in a ditch a few times. It's good to go.
And Wordbiker, your work in fixing that Hard Rock up makes it a billion times more specialized than any new bike could ever be. Custom Spec'd and accessorized too
New fenders. Plus several other things the bike didn't have last time I posted it.
Lampy - That may be a better looking bike than your Univega.
I know... how could that be possible ?
So..how does it ride ?
BTW, your ice bike is awesome, but it reminds me of the other day when I had to cross some ice with my slick Panaracers.
I figure that for as long as I can find bikes like these old Kuwaharas I won't have to drop that kind of coin as they are very similar bikes as far as materials and geometry goes... the frames are beautiful.
I saw another Shasta yesterday (identical bike to mine) that had been completely rebuilt with a Nexus 8 and a Shimano hub generator... it was farking beautiful.
Thanks, after my ride in the rain and hail with it, I took 3 hours to do a thorough cleaning of the bike.
Beauty of a bike, Dan...
I had some time today so I stripped the decals off the Pisgah. A dremel with a nylon brush wheel did most odf the work, scotchbrite pad did the rest.
A few of the white parts are selected, as well as a few brown accents. The plan is to turn it into a townie cruiser that I can possibly take on light trail rides. I also have a NOS Girvin fork that I hope will fit.
Hawt rigs in heah.
After deliberating over parts for the Pisgah for the past few days, I decided to forego some of the swanky white parts. There's lots of cool stuff available, but the price was getting a bit out of hand for a bike I don't plan to ride as a primary.
The plan now is to get it together affordably, then once I ride it, see if I want to do any more to it. Parts will be predominantly Deore with a singlespeed setup, option to add gears later.
I did get the Girvin Crosslink applied today.
Believe it or not, this was a good fork around 1997-99, right at 4 lbs, though many found it ugly and when Girvin crashed, support for it disappeared. I bought it NOS a few years ago for a chopper project because I found the girder design interesting, just never used it. I checked today and if I like the way it rides, Risse Racing still makes an air shock upgrade for it that has better performance and knocks about 1/2 lb off the weight.
I should have enough parts by next week to have something rideable...even if the weather doesn't allow it.
Love the forks!
Removed the no brakes logo and the pista lettering off the top tube, and added on red anodized chainring bolts.

I graduated from high school and can focus on art more now, in hopes to finally get to the point where I'm confident in my portfolio and apply for the school of my dreams. I will be hopefully doing studies and experimenting with new tools and techniques this is really a growing and learning time for me!
I also have a tumblr again now. So pop me a follow at crackerwafflecakes.
So glad I finally have time to relax and do more of something I love.

The Top 10 Reasons Women Watch Porn
Susannah Breslin April 26, 2010
Recently, it was revealed that 17 members of the SEC were downloading large quantities of porn at work while the nation's economy was going down the toilet. The real shocker? While many who heard the story assumed — unthinkingly — all of those SEC employees were men, at least one of them was a woman. "The female accountant tried to access online pornography from her office laptop nearly 1,800 times in two weeks," Forbes reports . "She also had 600 sexually explicit images saved on her hard drive." And that, my friends, is a lot of porn. The lessons to be learned? 1. Don't download porn at work. 2. Women watch porn, too. Previously, we gave you the top 10 reasons men watch porn. Now, we present to you the top 10 reasons women watch porn.
1. Curiosity. A girlfriend of mine calls this the "freak show factor." Personally, I think there is something about pornography that is a bit like a freak show. I mean, people look kind of weird naked and doing it. We've come a long way, baby, but there is a degree to which watching porn is still a taboo for women, and that can be its own turn-on.
2. To Get Off. Women and men may be from different planets, but they are both prone to the occasional masturbation session, and it is for that express purpose porn was designed. Generally, I believe women are more likely to choose mental fantasies over visual aids, but there are many women who are as visual as men and men who are as fantasy-oriented as women.
3. Learn New Moves. We can't all be Stormy Daniels, but that doesn't mean we can't have sex like porn stars if we aspire to do so. Whether we're bored with the current state of our sex lives, looking to bust out a new move on a special occasion, or have yet to perfect the fine art of fellatio, porn can, uh, come in, er, handy as an, um, "educational tool."
4. Comparison Shopping. People are always yapping about how competitive men are. I have yet to meet a man who is as quietly competitive as a woman. Because a fair amount of us can't quite make up our minds whether or not to love the body Mother Nature gave us, sometimes we watch porn to compare ourselves to other women. When the competition is surgically enhanced, that challenge can get a little tricky. But women also watch porn to compare their sexual partners to other men. Do they measure up? Depends.
5. Ogle Guys. You know what there isn't enough of in this world? Shirtless, bottomless, and shirtless and bottomless men. Seriously! Naked chicks? Everywhere you look. If we can't get to the beach, we might have to visit HotNudeDudes.com, stat.
6. Kill Time. Why does one of my female coworkers watch porn? "To kill time before you can start a DVR'd, hour-long episode of a TV show without having to watch any commercials." She is nothing if not efficient.
7. Get in the Mood. Several women I spoke with about their personal porn usage used the term "jump start." If she's getting ready to go out on a big date, or if her partner is on the way over for a roll in the hay, women use adult movies to get their motor runnin'. It's like foreplay. Except you're having sex with the internet instead of another human being.
8. It's His. Probably, this one should be higher up on the list. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the second most common reason women watch porn. Suffice to say, many women who stumble upon their man's porn collection may have taken a peek at it. Or, you know, spent the next several hours watching it. In some cases, someone else's porn can tell you a lot about them.
9. Explore Secret Fantasies. If a woman isn't comfortable sharing her sexual fantasies, she may turn to porn to experience them vicariously. It could be something as simple as spanking, yet she may feel awkward telling her square-as-a-peg husband that she wants to play naughty. Porn never judges.
10. Penises. Newsflash: Penises are weird. I've said this before, and I'll say it again. We don't have them. We will never totally understand them. Porn is a penis show.

It's true, penises are weird. I get undressed with the light off so I don't have to see mine, and if a stray beam of moonlight should fall on it I scream and sit quietly sobbing in a corner for an hour.

The following is to be sung to the tune of the Oscar Meyer commercial jingle "My Bologna Has A First Name"...
My penis has a first name
I call it Challenger
'Cause often on a mission
it explodes and falls to Earth
My penis is an awesome thing
but it may just have a bad o-ring
So you must be careful of it's load
'cause it's very likely to explode...
