FILE-LENGTH takes a stream as argument (which I found odd - there seems to be no way of getting the length of an unreadable file). I think that all the accessors in CLHS 20.2 make sense for dangling links. > Another way of looking at the difference: Are dangling symlinks > Lisp files or not? > (2) Yes.

I'm inclined towards (2); I grat that it may be considered conceptually uglier, but it doesn't hide facts from me which might later have odd effects (e.g. the apparently empty directories which actually aren't, as above). Remember that the user already gets to encounter pathnames that turn out not to be openable files (insufficient unix permissions, read-only file systems, unix-domain sockets, etc) so adding dead links to that set of "odd things" is probably justifiable. -dan -- http://ww.telent.net/cliki/ - Link farm for free CL-on-Unix resources

Itsara Koncepts changes lamp design with magnetic shades for every environment
Itsara Koncepts has unveiled KLADIS, a decorative table lamp with magnetic interchangeable shades. By changing shades in seconds, anyone can update their lighting décor anytime, even for seasonal occasions. With its versatility, this designer product is being brought to everyday consumers and is now available for preorder on the crowd funding platform, Kickstarter.
KLADIS introduces a new concept of customization and interaction with lighting. Instead of replacing an entire lamp, users need only to update their shade. Contrast to traditional lamps, the shades of KLADIS store conveniently in flat sheets. "Elegance meets simplicity and innovation," as described by Laney Filuk, owner of Bloc Agency.
Owner of Itsara Koncepts, Derek Rungsea started his business while aiming to pursue the field of architecture. From the success of winning a lighting competition in 2008, his inspiration reemerged and led his interests to industrial design.
ounded in 2012 and based in California, Itsara Koncepts is focused in design and development of modern lighting and home products. For more information, visit www.itsarakoncepts.com or contact Derek Rungsea at 408.658.6183.


text: So as of late my powerbook g4 1.67 ghz running tiger hasn't be "realizing" it's connected to the internet as quickly as it used to. What i mean by this is when my mac is a sleep and i wake it up, it'll automatically reconnect to my router, but when i try to load a page in safari it says i'm not connected to the internet, sometimes for about 30-45 seconds and then FINALLY it'll load a page. I have roommates in the house with all different macs, none with my exact specs but someone has an ibook running tiger so i figure that's close enough. Also a mbp running tiger. i'm using an airport express that's extending wireless signal and my provider is Verizon FiOs. Thanks!

Holiday Classic Expands Performance Schedule and Community Appearances
One of Nashville's newest holiday traditions, Nashville's Nutcracker, will return to TPAC's Jackson Hall Dec. 9 - 23 for the fifth year with additional performances and an expanded youth cast.
"Adding additional performances this year will give more Nashvillians an opportunity to incorporate Nashville's Nutcracker into their family's holiday traditions," Nashville Ballet Artistic Director & CEO Paul Vasterling said. "And with more youth cast members, more young dancers can become part of our own tradition."
Vasterling's updated version debuted with original concept and choreography as Nashville's Nutcracker in 2008. The production celebrates Nashville's rich history and personality, complete with characters inspired by well-known local residents, such as President Andrew Jackson, former Vanderbilt University Chancellor James Kirkland and the actress Lucille La Verne, a Nashville native who provided the voice of the witch in Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Along with all 46 members of the professional dance company and Second Company, the performance will include more than 170 young dancers from the School of Nashville Ballet and the community at large.
"Our students in the School of Nashville Ballet have demonstrated such a level of artistic and technical proficiency that we added additional youth cast roles this year to offer more challenging performance opportunities for them as they continue to grow and develop their dance skills," Director of Artistic Operations Sharyn Mahoney said.
Members of the youth cast come from Kentucky and 13 Middle Tennessee counties including Bedford, Cheatham, Coffee, Davidson, Dickson, Maury, Montgomery, Perry, Robertson, Rutherford, Summer, Williamson and Wilson.
Two full casts will alternate performances to tell the story of young Clara's magical journey, which starts at the 1897 Centennial Exposition in Nashville where she meets an exotic cast of characters from far-away lands displaying their native wares. It is there that her magical Uncle Drosselmeyer promises her a very special gift-a wooden Nutcracker.
After Clara receives her special gift, she falls asleep and the Nutcracker comes to life to guide her through a fantastic dream. They visit a series of magical worlds and encounter an array of diverse characters she previously saw at the Centennial Exposition, in addition to the Snow Queen and King and the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier.
Characters from Nashville's Nutcracker will make appearances all around town throughout November and December, including a performance at The Mall at Green Hills Saturday, Nov. 10 at 9:30 a.m. and Vanderbilt's Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital Nov. 27 at 2 p.m.
Nashville's Nutcracker will be held at TPAC's Jackson Hall for 11 performances:
Sunday, December 9 at 2 p.m.
Friday, December 14 at 7 p.m.
Saturday, December 15 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Sunday, December 16 at 2 p.m.

Friday, December 21 at 7 p.m.
Saturday, December 22 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Sunday, December 23 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

I have never tried this soup, so I am not taking any responsibility if you make it and hate it!
1 liter strong whey
4-5 tbs sugar
1 cinnamon stick
50 g potato flour or cornstarch
100 ml cold water
Cook the whey with the cinnamon and sugar for 5-10 minutes. Make a paste from the starch and cold water and stir into the soup to thicken. Pour into a bowl, sprinkle with sugar and cool. Red food colouring or crowberry (or redcurrant or cranberry) concentrate can be used to give the soup some colour.

Laughing tears, spirited hearts, food sharing, changing seasons, and honest expression keep me inspired.

Tru Fragrance, a Chicago-based boutique fragrance development company, creates custom fragrances and scented brand extensions for some of America's most recognized national retailers, including Charlotte Russe, Charming Charlie and Francesca's. Working behind-the-scenes with its partners through every step of the fragrance development process, from ideation through launch, the company consistently delivers clever, innovative, and highly successful products for its clients.
Working to showcase Tru's innovative thinking and embark on a pioneering fragrance initiative outside the industry comfort zone, and also give back to Chicago, the company developed an idea to celebrate nature, Chicago, sustainability, collaboration, philanthropy and more with an enticing, beautiful fragrance project.
Tru's executive and product development teams ideated Tru Blooms Chicago, a first-of-its-kind fragrance initiative to transform the city's green spaces into growing spaces, cultivating flowers that would be harvested and bottled into a limited edition perfume. This is the first project of its kind where a city has come together to fulfill a mission of sustainability, urban beautification and economic development through the planting of flowers and gardens specifically for use in a fine fragrance.
Working with local partners such as the Chicago Park District, Chicago Botanic Garden, Growing Power, Growing Home and NeighborSpace, Tru Fragrance transformed more than 22 neighborhood and public green spaces, including areas in Grant Park and the Chicago Botanic Gardens, into growing spaces for roses, lavenders and violets. Perfumers from Ungerer & Company captured the essential oils and essence of the flowers, and worked with Tru to fashion a fine fragrance infused with unique notes only found in Chicago. Tru designed, packaged and distributed the fragrance to women's perfume retailers in time for the 2012 holiday shopping season.
The Tru Blooms Chicago initiative resulted in the following:
Due to the success Tru witnessed from the first iteration, it was determined that Tru Blooms Chicago would return for a Second Harvest, which kicked off in May 2013 and had a scent that debuted in September 2013.

Government Response
The National Access Regime is a regulatory framework through which third parties may seek access to nationally significant infrastructure services. The Government decided to respond to the Productivity Commission 2013 report on the Regime alongside its response to the Competition Policy Review led by Professor Ian Harper ('the Harper Review'). Recommendation 42 of the Harper Review was on the Regime.
The Government response agrees with the Productivity Commission and the Harper Review's findings that the Regime can help promote competition and should be retained. However, given that two decades have passed since the Regime was established, it is timely to consider their expert advice and, where necessary, refine the Regime. The Government's changes are intended to ensure that the Regime remains effective and efficient.
For further information please refer to the attached copy of the Australian Government response to the Productivity Commission and Competition Policy Review Recommendations on the National Access Regime.

I recently stumbled upon the work of designer Pamela Pierce. I love her calm neutrals, over-sized dramatic antiques and her light and airy approach of the French Provincial aesthetic.
It was these striking images of Pamela Pierce's refined yet rustic provincial style that inspired me to take on my own "francaise provincial" furniture redo.
Fifteen years ago before I moved to the east coast, my father had given me a china cabinet he picked up at a Bay Area auction house. I bought the currently popular Annie Sloan's chalk paint and wax. Using the colors Country Grey and Old White, I attempted to transform this piece into a rustic French provincial work of art.
I began by painting the entire piece with the Country Grey.
I painted two coats of the Country Grey. Once the base coat was dry, I then painted the entire piece with a coat of Old White.
I hate using painter's tape, so I used a small paint brush to get into corners and curves and around the glass panes.
Once the Old White was dry, I then waxed the entire china cabinet with Annie Sloan's clear wax. Surprisingly, I noticed an instant transformation. The base coat of Country Grey along with the texture of the brush strokes began to be revealed through the Old White.
Then, according to Annie Sloan's own instructions, I wiped the wax with a cloth.
I also used her technique of painting the hardware as well. I was too lazy to remove it all and also wanted to add a little shabby-chicness.
I then sanded the corners and edges to reveal the base coat Country Grey through the top coat of Old White.
I love my "française provincial" furniture redo! Inspired by the refined and rustic beauty of Pamela Pierce's French provincial design aesthetic and using Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint, I created a timeless and classic work of art that I will cherish for years.

Real Estate Law
Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
FHA Question, Downey, CA. I own 2 condos. I was never notified FHA was allowed to laspe July 2011. I am a 30 year broker. Have been to district attorney, Consumer Affairs, DRE. They cannot handle. It costs nothing to renew the FHA, our 116 unit building is grossly overqualified. Members were not contacted about this material fact from Davis Stirling (opinion ?) There is no statute requiring boards to certify their associations for FHA insured financing. "Unless the governing documents provide otherwise,.." Our CC&R's state this as shown below. Does this alter the CC&R's without the required 67% vote of the owners ? Article XII (h) i page 56 Brookshire Manor CC&R's, 1991. ....VA, FHA, FHLMC, FNMA..... Each Owner hereby agrees that it will benefit the Association and membership of the Association, as a class of potential mortgage borrowers and potential sellers of their residential Conddominiums, if such agencies approve the Property as a qualifing subdivision under their respective policies, rules and regulations, as adopted from time to time. end CC&R quote. This causes condos to be worth $30,000 less. We cannot now get a reverse mortgage, nor refinance. The lawyer told them it was OK not to renew. But, I believe they have a fudiciary dity to reasonably maintain property values, even if the Article from the CC&R'S I quoted above does not apply to force them. The lawyer once said they did not want to sign under penalty of pergury as at that time it included a jail sentence ?? Don't know if it still does. I have been through IDR with lawyer and given them notice. Insurance company will not pay me, possibly because they acted outside the scope of their authority ? Frank
my email is xxxxxxxxxx.xxx
my password ***** ***** working and I cant find out new one.
its not sending password ***** my email.
It appears that your CC&R merely provides that the owners consent to FHA certification, but does not require the Board to apply for it. As a real estate professional you will have to try to convince the Board to disregard the attorney and apply. That is, if you feel that such is beneficial to the entire project, and I don't see how it could be anything but. But then I am not participating in your market. In summary, it does appear to be within the discretion of the Board and it is unlikely that a court would intervene.

Doesn't the board have a fudiciary duty to maintain
property values ?
I am not sure about the maintaining property values part, but yes, the Board members are supposed to be acting in the best interests of the association, which might be interpreted as doing what it takes to maintain property values. Why they let the certification lapse and are not renewing it should be explained to all the members. Perhaps the attorney who advised it would be willing to prepare such a letter of explanation.
This is a senior 55+ condos.
Board members are senile.
Can I sue Board or get injunction to perform ?
There is no reason why. They are just senile.
Is it mandatory they notify owners, or optional ?
Hey, as a senior myself and quite a bit passed 55, that's no excuse for incompetent management. In fact, I'm shocked that seniors would let something like this get by them. They're usually the ones who drive everybody nuts over management issues like this in HOAs. It looks like you have a good campaign issue to try to drum up some opposition candidates in the next board election. That is, if they don't agree to try and reverse the non-renewal and get it done. As I said earlier, Courts usually will refuse to substitute its judgment for that of a Board. If the CC& Rs don't require them to do it, you have little chance of winning a lawsuit over this.
The lawyer once said they did not want to sign under penalty of perjury as at that time it included a jail sentence ?? That's ridiculous. Someone should have asked him to find out how many HOA Board members have ever been prosecuted for perjury based on CC&R documents. And for this, they're giving up a ton of money individually.

Is it mandatory Board notify owners they have let FHA expire ?
Is management co responsible to notify material fact ?
Can I send out a letter to owners asking them to
recuse board ?
Can I get members to let managements contract expire
via letters and get new HOA lawyer ?
I will put smile on after this answer, thanks.

'Fiscal cliff' deal steers big breaks to NASCAR circuit
CONCORD, N.C. — In the budget debate over taxes and spending, few people realized unlikely beneficiaries would emerge: Congress quietly provided NASCAR track owners tax breaks that will cost Americans an estimated $150 million over the next five years.
Buried in the "fiscal cliff" deal that avoided steep tax increases and spending cuts at the start of the year, Congress extended tax breaks that allow NASCAR racetrack owners to accelerate depreciation of their properties. As a result, the cost for upkeep and improvements at tracks shifts from corporate backers of the billion-dollar sport to taxpayers.
That means taxpayers will continue to subsidize a financially rejuvenated sport that this year increased its corporate sponsorships and landed a lucrative deal with FOX Sports. As a bonus, the Motorsports Fairness and Permanency Act, as the tax break extension is called, allows track owners to accelerate the depreciation of facilities over seven years instead of the estimated 40 years it takes racetracks to depreciate — a special-interest giveaway that cost the government more than $40 million in 2011.
"It's a statement about political influence," said Phineas Baxandall, a senior analyst for tax and budget policy at the Public Interest Research Group. "It certainly isn't a statement of NASCAR's usefulness for the nation — or at least, no one has made that case. The question is, does everyone have to pay for this business? And for the federal government to do this is senseless."
'A sign of the times'
Most racetracks were built without taxpayer subsidies, a source of pride for executives with International Speedway Corporation and Speedway Motorsports Inc. , the primary proprietors of the 23 tracks in NASCAR's Sprint Cup circuit. But as smaller tracks in Rockingham and North Wilkesboro, N.C. closed, others replaced them from America's heartland to the desert of the Southwest.
In examining the "carve-out" for NASCAR racetracks, the Tribune-Review found construction of tracks in Chicago, Kansas City and Phoenix are costly for racetrack owners and taxpayers.
"All of the taxes have to be factored into everybody's business model," NASCAR President Mike Helton told the Trib this month in Detroit while kicking off a tour of the Generation-6 race car that will debut in Sunday's Daytona 500. "In the case of the racetracks, we need them to be healthy. We need them to sustain and maintain their facilities.
"We need facilities that can host events not only on the competition side, but we have to consider the amenities and the fans in the grandstand. And that's expensive," Helton said. "Frankly, it's a sign of the times."
In examining the lobbying efforts of NASCAR and speedway owners, the Trib found track owners spent more than $500,000 during the past two years to ensure passage of the provision. Of that amount, NASCAR contributed $240,000 and the International Speedway Corporation — in which NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France's family is majority owner — spent $300,000. Chicagoland Speedway, Automobile Competition Committee and SMI also lobbied for the legislation, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research group that tracks the effects of money and lobbying on elections and public policy. The ISC alone has spent $940,000 lobbying Congress since 2008.
A bipartisan effort
Though NASCAR executives and employees made campaign contributions — mostly to Republican candidates in 2012, including presidential nominee Mitt Romney — the tax relief in the cliff deal received bipartisan support. Democratic Sens. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan and Bill Nelson of Florida, along with Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz of Florida, accepted campaign contributions from NASCAR.
Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., a co-sponsor of the permanent tax breaks, has sponsored or co-sponsored NASCAR-friendly bills at least three times. According to the Sunlight Foundation, Buchanan has received more than $530,000 in campaign contributions over his political career from NASCAR and the automobile industry. Automakers such as Ford, Chevrolet and Toyota promote their models through NASCAR racing. Buchanan, by the way, owns several car dealerships.
"If there was a bill that said the Treasury will give millions of dollars to NASCAR, it would have gotten more scrutiny and probably wouldn't have happened. But because it happened in the name of tax breaks in a huge bill in which no one understands every part of, it didn't get the same scrutiny," Baxandall said. "Unfortunately, these kinds of hidden tax giveaways are definitely a bipartisan problem. … It's something where the tax code becomes somewhat of a shroud."
The Joint Committee On Taxation estimates the loophole will cost taxpayers $46 million this year and $95 million more through 2017. The tax relief for track owners cost taxpayers about $43 million the past two years; a one-year extension could cost $70 million in lost tax revenue.
"I would recommend everyone understand the nuance of all that," said Helton. "It's not a new (tax) break. What the racetrack owners are asking is to be treated the same as other entertainment facilities. But it's been that way for a while."
Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., who sponsored the tax extension, argued it's a necessary correction to the tax code that essentially compares racetracks with theme parks or amusement parks.
Yet, some track owners insist they have yet to reap the benefits.
"I don't know of anybody who lobbied for it," said Eddie Gossage, president of Texas Motor Speedway. "I've been getting calls from people asking me, 'What are they talking about?' I didn't know anything about it. I'm looking for President Obama's check."
Bruton Smith, owner of SMI, argues that the loophole is invaluable, mostly because racetrack owners haven't lobbied local governments for tax revenue to help fund the construction of facilities. In Charlotte, where Smith has invested $1.5 million since purchasing the speedway, city officials are asking for $250 million in public money for the Carolina Panthers to renovate Bank of America Stadium.
Baxandall argues that NASCAR officials are talking apples and oranges in comparing racetracks to taxpayer-backed stadiums. Baxandall accused NASCAR of leaning on the backs of taxpayers in North Carolina, Virginia and Alabama — states with an increasingly heavy tax burden.
"You wouldn't expect them not to take taxpayers' money," Baxandall said. "But that doesn't mean that members of Congress should be heaping more profits into their pockets just because they can. This is a harder call for cities and states because businesses say if you don't invest, then we'll move to the next state.
"People don't realize that it's the ordinary taxpayers who have to pick up the tab. If NASCAR gets a special break and doesn't have to pay its taxes, then small businesses without a small army of lobbyists have to make up the difference. Usually, the difference is made up in federal program cuts, increases of other taxes or more debt," Baxandall said.
Handout or fair play?
Some local government officials in states with NASCAR tracks worked with members of Congress to attach the racetrack loophole. The bill included other curious tax changes, including a rum tax for Puerto Rico, a $9 billion tax break for banks and corporations and subsidies for Hollywood films.
"I can't speak on the rum deal and some of the others bundled with it," said Jerry Gappens, executive vice president of New Hampshire Motor Speedway. "From our standpoint, it gives an accounting procedure which allows us to write some of these assets off quicker."
Gappens said the New Hampshire track has contributed $400 million to the local economy and established 38 full-time jobs.
"There is a misconception by the public that we're getting a handout or a bailout of $70 million and we're not," he said. "It's encouraging guys like Bruton Smith to reinvest in their facilities."
Smith said NASCAR's track would have remained on solid financial footing without the tax breaks. But, he said, accelerated depreciation is fair to maintain the health of the sport, considering the escalating tax rate for most racetracks.
"It's too small for me to worry about but it's something richly deserved," Smith said. "It's not like they wrote a check to us. It's a savings and that's all it is. Instead of it being stretched out longer, it's a seven-year deal."
"At some point, it's going to cost $700,000 to $1 billion to build a racetrack. We don't ask for tax money to build our racetracks, because it's too far-fetched."
Gappens said his revenue margin shrank, in part because property taxes for New Hampshire Speedway increased from $600,000 annually to more than $900,000. The track cost $340 million to build and has needed $20 million in improvements since it first hosted NASCAR weekend in 1993.
"We're paying more in property taxes because the facilities are worth more now," Gappens said. "If you think of the economy the past five years, I can't think of any other New Hampshire company that has invested more."

A series-deciding match away to the world's best team on a surface expected to help its key batting and bowling nemesis, reverse swing – if Michael Clarke is daunted by such a prospect in Cape Town he did an excellent job of hiding it.
"It's as exciting a challenge as you have," Clarke said of the third Test against South Africa, starting on Saturday. "I think everybody was excited about the way we played against England and beating such a good team five-nil, but, as a player, this is as exciting. You are playing the No. 1 side in the world in their own back yard and you have a chance to beat them. This would be an amazing achievement by this team to win this Test match, and as an individual player who has played a lot of cricket around the world, if this doesn't excite you, you are in the wrong sport.
Clarke said his expectation, based on the weather forecast and the conditions at Newlands, was that reverse swing would play a huge part in determining the result.
Trying to prepare for the expected conditions, Australia's fast bowlers were instructed to tamper with the ball in the nets – far worse than anything David Warner suggested South Africa was doing in the second Test – to get batsmen used to the old ball hooping late in the air.
"We were cheating today, scraping it on the concrete," paceman Ryan Harris explained.
"It's good practice for the batters because it actually goes a lot more than what it does in a game, so if they can hit those, they're obviously going to hit the ones in the game."
Australia will regain one of its best exponents of reverse swing, Shane Watson, at the expense of Alex Doolan or Shaun Marsh. Clarke said fast bowlers Harris, Mitchell Johnson and Peter Siddle were physically capable of fronting up again at Newlands despite their heavy workloads in the second Test.
He said there was no need to refresh the pace line-up for the series decider – unless selectors decided James Pattinson and Jackson Bird were superior options.
South Africa is expected to recall Alviro Petersen, after his recovery from a virus, for Quinton de Kock. Wayne Parnell, who has a groin injury, is expected to be replaced by Rory Kleinveldt or Kyle Abbott.

SOUTH WINDSOR, Conn., Nov. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gerber Scientific, Inc.'s Ophthalmic Lens Processing business segment, Gerber Coburn, announced today the launch of two new products, the DTL200 generator and the MAAT polisher, that form the basis of their Advanced Lens Processing System with free-form capability, bringing new technology to digital lens processing.
The newest member to the DTL generator series, the DTL200, employs precision diamond turning technology to produce free-form lens surfaces. It is equipped with a voice coil axis, or v-axis, designed to ensure that the targeted lens geometry is replicated in the final lens.
The new MAAT (Multi-Axis Adaptive Technology) polisher is Gerber Coburn's solution for polishing free-form and cut-to-polish lenses. Its unique multi- axis design tilts the lens in order to keep the polishing tool perpendicular to the area being polished, while accurately controlling pressure so that material is removed evenly throughout the entire surface of the lens. The sub- aperture polishing system eliminates traditional lap inventory and management, significantly reducing labor cost and laboratory space.
Marc T. Giles, President and CEO of Gerber Scientific, Inc. stated, "Gerber Scientific is dedicated to developing new technology and introducing leading edge solutions to the marketplace. Gerber Coburn's Advanced Lens Processing System is the culmination of a multi-year development program to deliver the most cost effective and flexible lens production system available today."
Stephen Lovass, President of Gerber Coburn, added, "The launch of our Advanced Lens Processing System and its free-form processing capability is a milestone for Gerber Coburn. Unlike competitive systems, our approach is modular, allowing our customers to move from standard lens processing, to cut- to-polish processing, to free-form processing as their needs change, without having to buy entirely new systems."

Welcome to installment two of my series of ruminations on love and relationships. In case you missed it, I am now a relationship expert! I got my degree at DeVry, where I minored in TV/VCR repair.
This week's question: What is the difference between having sex and making love?
The folks over at The Love Project asked random passers-by their thoughts on this very same topic. Watch.
Let's discuss.
Maybe the first question to ask is if there's even a difference between the two to begin with. The answer here is yes; absolutely. It seems that a lot of people define that difference in terms of what you do, physically, with you partner while doing the horizontal Harlem shake in the bedroom. Stereotypically, making love is sweet, right? It's emotional. It is slow, soft, and intimate. Your partner is lavished with kisses as Luther Vandross croons softly to you both; hands are held, eye contact is made. Your hearts beat in rhythm and sweat beads up on your bodies in the shape of joined wedding rings. So beautiful. So tender.
But sex?

Courtney Stodden's Stuck In A House With Screech
"I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with ME."
Last night was the premiere of Celebrity Big Brother, the popular UK reality show where they take the oily residue of American fame and lock them in a house without having the decency to fill the place with leftover gas from the Holocaust because the British are weak. To prove my point, Dustin Diamond is on this season and walked on stage making the clear and undeniable faces of a man who's going to rape the first person he's alone in room with. And before Salon or Jezebel get all up in arms that "rape jokes are never funny," I'm not even trying to make a joke here. That's a legitimate warning. If Dustin Diamond is in your line of vision, curl up in the fetal position and say his name backwards three times. That's the only way to send him back to his realm: Rape Earth 2.

Tube Bomb Pedal v2.0$250.00
The Tube Bomb Pedal is back and better than ever! With two footswitch selectable volume controls, you can easily push your tube amplifier into anything from mild crunch to full-on, singing-for-days sustain and overdrive!
The Tube Bomb is a clean gain boost pedal designed around the venerable 12AU7 dual triode vacuum tube. It provides up to 26dB of boost without adversely coloring your tone. When set to unity gain, the pedal preserves the input level while imparting the warmth and fullness only tube circuitry can provide. When pushed hard, the Tube Bomb can drive your tube amplifier into anything from mild crunch to full-on, singing-for-days sustain and overdrive.
With v2.0 we added a second volume control to fully exploit the range of gain settings available. Set one volume for unity gain and get the warmth and fullness only tube circuitry can provide and dial the other on up and push your tube amplifier into anything from mild crunch to full-on, singing-for-days sustain and overdrive! Settings are easily selected via footswitch.
Plugging the Tube Bomb into the Amp In / FX Return of a solid state amplifier will enable you to bypass the preamp section and use the pedal as a tube preamp for both guitars and basses. The same effect can be achieved when plugging an instrument directly into a PA system: just insert the Tube Bomb into the chain and dial in some character.
But enough about guitars! (We are an electric piano company, after all.) The Tube Bomb sounds great when paired when any electric piano. In fact, the concept for the Tube Bomb grew out of the tremendous popularity of our Tine Bomb Rhodes preamplifier.
Sold individually.
Whats Included
• Black powdercoated and custom printed enclosure
• 12AU7 Vacuum Tube (Installed)
• 24Vdc Power Supply* (International: 100-240VAC and includes adapter blades for worldwide use)
*The Tube Bomb pedal is to be powered by a 24V DC power supply with positive tip only! Attempting to power the unit with an incorrect would be considered improper usage. We are not responsible for any resulting damage.

Retailer Compliance as a Predictor of Youth Smoking Participation and Consumption
Ninety per cent of smokers report having their first whole cigarette before the age of 19. Thus, it is important to have policies such as youth access laws which may prevent youth from becoming future smokers. In Canada, the Tobacco Act prohibits retailers from furnishing tobacco products to individuals under the age of 18. For such laws to be effective, however, it is important that retailers comply with them. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of retailer compliance on youth smoking behaviour. Data on individual smoking behaviour in conjunction with provincial retailer compliance rates and cigarette prices for the years 1999-2005 were employed to examine the effects of retailer compliance on youth smoking participation and consumption. Both price and retailer compliance were significant predictors of smoking participation. Price elasticity of demand for the overall sample was estimated to be -0.54. Our results which are consistent with previous research indicate that retailer compliance must be considered when examining the effects of youth access laws. This research confirmed that youth access laws can be an important component of a successful public policy approach to youth smoking prevention.

RAD is the functional limited edition of the advanced acoustic research system DSSF3. The point that RAD differs from other systems completely is that a time change of sound can be analyzed in detail at a high temporal resolution. Using RAD, various sound qualities such as loudness, total quality, pitch and the movement of source can be analyzed by the running ACF measurement. Broad examples of measurement are considered, such as a measurement in a concert hall, measurement of a home audio and car audio, tuning of a musical instrument, aircraft noise measurement, traffic noise measurement, analysis of toilet noise, musical instrument music analysis, voice analysis, performance measurement of a motor, measurement of the operation sound of an air-conditioner, and heartbeat measurement.

Homestay Programs
When you travel or study abroad, there are often many accommodation options available during your time abroad. One of the most rewarding experiences can be a homestay with a local family, which allows you to really experience what life is like in your host country. It offers a "real-life" experience that is second-to-none, and you will find that it could be one of the most rewarding parts of any international experience.
What exactly is a Homestay?
Homestay programs arrange for international students to live with local families in their host countries. Living situations in homestay programs range from basic room-rental arrangements to complete family immersion. In a homestay program, you will typically have your own room, but join the family for meals and take part in their normal daily routine. In most cases, host families tend to be families that have younger or teenage children themselves, but homestays can actually be offered by anyone. Host families often choose to offer homestays because it's a great way for their own children to meet with international students and be exposed to different cultures.
Why Homestays?
There are many reasons that homestays are a great solution for international students, including:
As you will be staying in someone's home, homestays tend to be an affordable option. The families offering their house as a homestay are typically not doing it for financial gain so they can be excellent cheap accommodation options. Homestays are often the cheapest accommodation option because cost of room and board generally includes meals, laundry facilities, and occasionally some light cleaning services. You may also be provided with a guaranteed number of meals a day, which will save you money in groceries, and allow you to splurge a little on fun excursions and souvenirs during your stay (not to mention try local dishes and foods!).
Staying with a local family will really submerse you into that culture and life. Homestay programs provide students with a more authentic cultural experience. In most cases you will spend evenings and free time with your host family, having mealtimes and social time with them, and experiencing daily life in your host country. Living with host families will provide you with more opportunities to experience local cuisine, as well as local events and places that most tourists and other visitors to the country will be unaware of. Additionally, host families can serve as tour guides and give you tips on how to get by in your new environment.
One of the best ways to learn a new language is to be fully submersed into that language. There is no better way of submersing yourself than with a homestay! If you are living in a dormitory or hostel, you will almost inevitably fall amongst people who speak your native language. In a homestay program, you will be required to converse in the native language of your host country, allowing you to improve your language skills. Your host family will most likely be thrilled to help you practice your skills. Having good language skills will make living in a foreign country far easier; you will be better able to explore the country and meet new people.
Although most college students and young adults in homestay programs have been away from home before, finding yourself in an entirely new country, far from your friends and family can be a lonely and daunting experience. Homestay programs are a great way to make new friends, as in most cases, homestay families have children themselves, often around the same age as the students they are hosting. Homestay families also provide a good support system for international students who are far from home, and friendships are often formed between hosts and students that last a lifetime.

HAYES, England (PRWEB) May 13, 2013
Seeing a lack of information about the European lottery system, author William C. F. Pierce decided to write "Your Lottery Ticket" (published by AuthorHouse) to fill the void.
The odds of winning the European lottery are 116,541,800 to 1. Yet, readers will learn how to reduce those odds in "Your Lottery Ticket." After years of research and taking part of the European lottery system, Pierce has been able to formulate a system that will greatly diminish the odds against people who play. He breaks down each aspect of the game and examines them closely to show readers how to overcome many hurdles that trip up current players.
"Many years ago as a small boy, I use to watch my father doing his football pools. One day I enquired of him, 'How do you know there are 8 from 10 that equal 45 lines @ a penny a line costing three shillings and nine pence.' Taking hold of his pen he proceeded to show me the mathematical equation that gave him this. The same maths are used by bookmakers all over the world to stop you winning too much. Thirty years ago you could probably have got 10 to one in a major horse race. Now you would be lucky to get 2 or 3 to one. Like any other business. Bookmakers use computers to refine their ability to cut these odds in their favour. Not Yours! Using the same maths you can reduce the odds into your favour for winning a lottery where you pick the numbers."

Yes, I hear what you're saying! I layed in bed last night thinking that if I didn't sew today I might have an anxiety attack. So I worked on a Christmas table runner, quick and easy. I am in love with those star blocks and really wanted to destash my scrap basket but didn't want to make string quilts. This is fabulous! Your color choices are so, so pretty!
