L.A. Reid has a lot to celebrate — his X Factor hopeful, Tate Stevens, won the big prize last night!
But as everyone knows, the music mogul will not be returning next season. So who will replace him?
According to co-host Mario Lopez, he has a particular superstar he'd like to see in L.A.'s chair.
"I've been campaigning for my girl Fergie," Mario tells Life & Style. "I think she would be awesome. We've been friends for a long time and I think she's talented. She'd be an awesome judge/mentor. She's cool, hip, and I think the kids would really respond to her and like her."
NEWS: Which X Factor judge is not returning next season?
In fact, as Life & Style reported in March, Fergie was one of the artists in talks to be part of the judges' panel for season two. Unfortunately, the 37-year-old had to turn it down at the time.
"I know there were talks last season and this season," she said. "But ... Simon [Cowell] said before [that] timing is everything and it's not the right time for me."
But could season three be a whole different story? Hmm — we'll just have to wait and see!
NEWS: X Factor's Carly Rose Sonenclar and Camila Cabello of Fifth Harmony have a crush on Harry Styles
When we talked to L.A., he had a different musician in mind.
"I think Rihanna should fill my spot so that I have a reason to watch," he tells Life & Style.
Regardless of the decision, L.A. will certainly be missed next year. And if anyone's grateful for having worked with him, it's Tate.
"He's a great guy," Tate tells Life & Style. "I pray that I continue to work with him in the future. He is as good as they get. He's a fantastic guy."
TAKE OUR POLL: Would you like to see Fergie or Rihanna on The X Factor?
Which superstar do you think would fit the spot perfectly? Sound off in comments — and watch Tate win below!
Woo hoo!

Maybe, but I'd like to see an inline explanation of what this confusing new setting means and a better patch header that provides some motivation for this change. To my eyes, the word "default" is over-used here. If I *don't* specify the new "default" flag, surely I'll get default behaviour, won't I, by definition? And if I do specify it, I'm asking for default behaviour too, so isn't it redundant? Alasdair

Hi,I am facing a weird problem when trying to run iceweasel on a remote host through an ssh session. I have logged into the remote host using "ssh -Y <remote>" and at the prompt of the remote host, I ran iceweasel. However it appears that a local instance of iceweasel is started. There is no iceweasel/firefox process at all on the remote host. The only way I could get iceweasel to run on the remote host is by closing all instances of iceweasel already running on the localhost.
Is something wrong? If not, how do I run separate instances of iceweasel concurrently?
Both the systems run on etch, iceweasel-126.96.36.199 Thanks, Raj Kiran

text: AFV Club follows up on its magnificent Mk. 5/1 kit with the Mk. 5/2 variant. As with the previous kit, many of the grab handles and guard plates are molded as separate parts, and a nice fret of photo-etched parts are included. The suspension bogies are workable via brass springs, and the road wheels have rubber-like rims made of soft plastic. The nicely-formed 105mm gun barrel is lathed aluminum with rifling detail and a two-piece plastic bore evacuator. Periscopes, including those of the commander's cupola, are molded in transparent plastic. A length of nylon twine is included for the tow cable. The tracks are the cementable rubber belt type, and are nicely detailed, but these can be replaced with the easily-assembled injection plastic individual track link set available separately (link below). The only thing really missing form this kit is a mantlet cover, which is seen on nearly all Centurions. Time to break out the white glue and Kleenex! Another excellent addition to AFV Club's growing family of Centurions!

Live mobile phone video streaming company and media darling Qik has secured money from Netscape founder Marc Andressen and his long-time biz partner Ben Horowitz. The exact amount wasn't announced, but it is a "significant investment."
Andressen's "day job" is currently over at social networking site Ning, while Horowitz is the VP and GM of HP's business technology organization unit. The two also teamed up on Internet hosting company Loudcloud, a business ultimately bought by HP for $1.6 billion. So the two man can afford a "significant investment."
Qik allows users to stream live video directly from their mobile phones, and the company has racked up a number of significant PR wins with bloggers, professional journalists and House Republican John Culberson. At the Democratic National Convention in Denver, C-SPAN is using Qik as one means of covering the event.
However, Quik isn't alone. Livecast is supported by Intel Capital and is a software development favorite of Microsoft, Flixwagon has a direct-to-YouTube widget to its credit, and Kyte is playing the celeb card with 50 Cent and the Jonas Brothers; Kyte also has Nokia, Swisscom and DoCoMo venture money in its pockets.

Rihanna and 50 Cent are among the stars who have offered their condolences following the death of hip-hop mogul Chris Lighty.
The 44-year-old - who helped the likes of 50, Sean "Diddy" Combs and Mariah Carey attain not only hit records, but also lucrative careers outside music - was found dead in his New York City apartment on Thursday in an apparent suicide.
He was found with a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. No note was recovered, but a 9 mm handgun was found and there was no sign of forced entry, said Paul Browne, New York police spokesman. The shooting appears to be self-inflicted, authorities said.
50 Cent said in a statement issued through his publicist that he was deeply saddened by the loss.
"Chris has been an important part of my business and personal growth for a decade," he said. "He was a good friend and advisor who helped me develop as an artist and businessman. My prayers are with his family. He will be greatly missed."
"Rhode IslandP. Chris Lighty," Fat Joe posted on his Twitter account. "The man that saved my life!"
Diddy wrote: "In shock."
Rihanna posted: "Rest peacefully Chris Lighty, my prayers go out to family and loved ones! Dear God please have mercy."
Mary J Blige wrote: "U never know what can send a person over the edge or make them want 2 keep living. take it easy on people."

One of the worst things that could happen to a charity's in-house lawyer would be the loss of his organization's tax-exempt status during his watch. It would be like a NASCAR driver running out of gas mid-race. You don't want it to happen to you.
Fortunately, the law about how to keep that tax exemption has stayed pretty consistent. All you have to do is make sure your organization is "organized and operated exclusively" for exempt purposes--understanding, of course, that "exclusively" really means "primarily." This is the language of the Tax Code and it provides much-needed wiggle room to accommodate the wide range of activities that could constitute an exempt purpose. These are the words Congress used, and, as such, they are our ultimate authority.
So what does document handling have to do with maintaining an exempt purpose? The IRS seems to think there is some connection because its new Form 990 asks every charity, "Does the organization have a written document retention and destruction policy?" This is just one of the so-called corporate governance questions on the new form, each requiring either a yes or a no answer. Others ask about written conflict of interest and whistleblower policies, and whether corporate minutes are kept. Obviously, the only acceptable answer to these questions is "yes." It is also obvious that the IRS added these questions in response to recent governance problems in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors. But here's my question: How can the IRS pre-empt both Congress' role and state corporation law?
I, for one, don't see how a charity's failure to have a document retention policy means that it is or is not "organized and operated exclusively" for exempt purposes. In fact, I am willing to bet there are literally thousands of true-blue charities operating today without any idea of what document retention means. The hungry are being fed and the sick being healed, two clearly charitable activities deserving of a tax exemption. What is the connection between those activities and a paperwork policy?
There is no statutory connection, which means the IRS is acting beyond its authority by requiring answers to such questions in the Form 990, which almost all charities must file annually. Not only is the IRS going beyond what Congress told it to do, I think it is also treading on the states' traditional jurisdiction over corporations.
This fine legal point is relevant because too many (or even one?) "no" answers to these questions is like waving a red flag in front of the IRS auditors. Let's say an audit reveals your charity has no documents policy, has no whistleblower policy, keeps no minutes, has no written conflicts policy, etc. But the audit also reveals it is nevertheless "organized and operated exclusively" for exempt purposes. That would mean all of these governance questions on the Form 990 are completely irrelevant. If that is so, why are they there?
It must be because the IRS now believes that you cannot be "organized and operated exclusively" for exempt purposes unless you comply with all these policies implied by the governance questions. If so, the IRS is rewriting the statute. No matter how closely I read the Tax Code, I cannot find "whistleblower policy" anywhere in it, and I don't think a judge would, either.
If these governance policies are such a good idea (and I think they are), Congress should require them expressly. Then we can do away with what amounts to passive-aggressive regulation in the form of these insidious questions.
Try a direct question: "Does the organization comply with the document retention policy requirement?" A "yes" would be the right answer. A "no" would be the wrong answer. Simple.

Attack of the Hippo
British couple survive canoeing collision with Mad Max of the Zambezi
Zambezi Correspondent Liam Stevens
A British couple have survived a savage attack by a hippopotamus while canoeing on the Lower Zambezi River in Zambia. Jennie and Jerry, from the Cotswolds in Gloucester, were enjoying the early stages of their overland tour from Victoria Falls to Dar es Salaam when the incident occurred.
The couple were members of a tour group of 21 travellers and 5 guides who were engaging in a two day canoeing trip along the Zambezi River, from Friday 25th January. The group occupied thirteen canoes which were ostensibly supposed to follow behind the lead boat in single file. Reportedly however, formation dissipated quickly after launching from the banks as the fleet chaotically paddled without order and discipline despite regularly passing pods of hippos.
On the first afternoon of the canoe trip, Jennie and Jerry's boat was attacked by the hippopotamus locally referred to as "Mad Max". As the group steered toward the location of the evening campsite on a sand island, their canoe veered slightly off the general pathway established by the lead boats. The couple's canoe subsequently collided with the rising head of the undetected hippo, smashing a section of the bottom and capsizing the boat. Jennie and Jerry fortuitously avoided injury from the impact and managed to climb onto the inverted canoe without encountering the hippo. The creature did however resurface to threateningly broaden its jaws and bite the canoe. The collision is believed to have been entirely accidental as the hippo rose to the surface unaware of the canoe's location.
Jennie and Jerry were rescued by the guides in their canoes; however they unfortunately lost a camera. The pair remerged from the harrowing ordeal physically unscathed and in an admirable state of mind considering the circumstances. Jennie's first reaction upon re-joining the group on the island was "Did anyone get a photo of that?"
Several other canoes from the group were positioned to witness the events which unfolded. One somewhat traumatised observer generously offered his account of the events which unfolded on the Zambezi:
This is a true and accurate account of the fateful incident on the Zambezi River during the late afternoon of Friday 25th January 2013, in accordance with my own best recollections.
I was feeling somewhat exhausted as we drew towards the close of what had been a stressful day of canoeing, largely spent seeking to avoid the numerous hippos to be found in the waters while suffering the great handicap of being completely unable to steer our vessel! Trauma levels had reached a high point navigating around a particularly large pod en route to an appealing-looking beach on the opposite bank, which it subsequently emerged was to be our campsite for the night ahead. A feeling of monumental relief surged over me as we appeared to have reached our destination physically, albeit not emotionally, unscathed. The finishing point was very much in sight.
Since our canoe, Whitney, had somehow secured a place as one of the leaders, I was regularly glancing back to see how other members of the group were faring. Following a momentary lapse of concentration, I heard an almighty thud immediately followed by a piercing female shriek and the distressed shouts of a male, emanating from somewhere in the distance behind us. The instinctive reaction was of course to turn, at which point I witnessed the horrific sight of an upturned canoe in mid-flight, making its rapid and inevitable descent back into the murky abyss absent its former passengers. A moment later I heard the splash and saw the cause of this catastrophic incident… a very angry-looking hippo thrashing and writhing around, baring its enormous, hideous teeth out of the water.
A wave of panic enveloped the entire group as the quicker amongst us realised the nature of the events that were now unfolding before our very eyes. Steve [tour leader] screamed instructions for us to paddle manically towards the shore and we didn't need telling twice, but at the same time everybody of course wished to assess the severity of the situation and to determine who was involved. The realisation slowly dawned that we may be facing at least one fatality on our African adventure, since attacks by angry three ton hippos do not tend to bode well for the health of human victims! One inevitably begins to fear the worst as a stream of disjointed thoughts rapidly floods the brain upon witnessing a major trauma. However, upon the next blink of an eye, a saturated but very much living Jennie had hauled herself up on top of the stricken, upturned canoe. Where was her husband and boat buddy Jerry, though? The answer appeared to be that he was still thrashing around in the water and thus breathing, but potentially mauled. It was impossible to see from a distance, but one felt that he really should cease said activity and exit the water forthwith! The fear remained as we continued to look on helplessly whilst struggling towards the beach at the same time, but then it seemed that progress was finally being made. He was slowly dragging himself up onto the canoe also, with assistance from his wife to pull him up. But where was that offending creature?!
Within moments we were landing on the beach and were able to obtain a clearer view of what was occurring and to fill the gaps in the picture created by our panic-stricken minds. It was with an overwhelming sense of joy that we realised that both the affected persons were now atop the floating raft that had proved to be their saviour and were very much still in one piece, albeit presumably severely shaken by their ordeal. The local guides moved in to their rescue with great haste and there I conclude my summary of a most miraculous brush with death whereby two of our number defied the eager grasp of the grim reaper …truly a closer shave than any of us would have liked to witness!
- David Keith Bridges Esq (MA Oxon)
After the incident occurred, the canoe was removed from the water to assess the damage. The hippo had smashed a section of the bottom, apparently from bite marks. The canoe has been decommissioned.
The canoe trip resumed the following day; however Jennie and Jerry understandably chose to return to camp. The remaining journey was completed in orderly single file.

FURIOUS Haslingden residents have called for a historic building to be returned to the hands of the community after it was put up for sale.
The Mary Hindle Resource Centre, which houses several charities including the Sophie Lancaster Foundation, was put up for sale at £250,000 by owners Agapao International last week.
At a public meeting in Rawtenstall's St Mary's Chambers, Haslingden MP Graham Jones was among those to voice concerns at the possible sale of the site.
Mr Jones said reclaiming the centre would be a 'long and hard road'.
He added: "In my mind things are wrong on a number of levels and I would appeal to Agapao not to sell the building until they are legally and morally sure they can do so. The charity is operating like a loose cannon."
Around 35 people attended the meeting, which was called to decide on a plan of action to try and keep the building for community use and not be sold to a commercial investor.
At one point, former Haslingden councillor Noel O'Brien had to be escorted from the room as tempers frayed after a disagreement with Mr Jones.
None of the trustees of Agapao International, including director Louise Chicot, attended the meeting, despite being invited.
One member of the audience, Clive Williamson, said: "The building must end up back in the hands of the community regardless of what's gone on up until now."
Catherine Murphy, who runs Bacup Hub and St Mary's Chambers, said at least three organisations, including the Sophie Lancaster Foundation were interested in trying to buy the building at a reduced rate.
Ownership of the building was transferred to Agapao in 2009 by the trustees of Community Action for Rossendale.

1304 E. Chandler Blvd., Suite 104
(480) 460-1340
Pay by the ounce and fat-free frozen yogurt. Sign us up.
And just about everyone else in Ahwatukee is on board as well, or so it seems.
Yoasis has been named the top "Mom and Pop" business in this year's Best Of contest.
And while the product is oh so good, it is not even the best thing about the place owned by Sue and Brian McHugh, who are sole owners now after buying out their partners.
It is their community involvement. There are few companies, especially one that is only 2 1/2 years old, who gives back as they do.
Since Yoasis started adopting groups — sports teams, kids groups, etc., — the McHughs have given more than $43,000 back by giving a percentage of the proceeds of that week's sales.
In others words not only is Yoasis good eats, the McHughs are good people.
"A lot of people tell me they feel at home while they are here," Sue McHugh said. "Our place is larger (2,000 square feet) than the other places so it is a place for people to meet up and it is very kid friendly."
As involved as Yoasis is within the community, what brings everyone in the door is that velvety smooth yogurt.
They offer 12 different flavors — five staples with the other seven rotating — and 61 different toppings — cookie dough and sprinkles are the most popular — to entice creative minds to concoct some interesting combinations.
"People like to be able to pick and choose," she said.
When it comes to fat-free yogurt it is very clear which one the Ahwatukee community has chosen to flock to.
"We have been very fortunate," McHugh said. "We started out with a good business plan, but you never know. We have been a great fit within the community."

An Equation Of Time (aka EOT) complication indicates the difference between "true" solar time (that of nature) and "mean" solar time (that of man). As the earth orbits around the sun in an elliptical (oval) shape & the axis is tilted - there are only 4 days a year when the day is exactly 24 hours long April 15th, June 14th, September 1st and December 24th. All other days of the year the days are shorter or longer - depending in the position of the earth. This watch will show the difference between the "mean" time & the "true" time. Since the of the days are fixed year after year (at the same location) a watch can be manufactured to replicate the correction via a shaped cam which elongates & shortens the days accordingly.Decorated skeletonized rotor - can be personalized for an additional cost, the standard version has the AP letters.These watches need to be set at the factory in Switzerland to your exact location - this location will be printed on the rim of the EOT bezel ring.

Unique & flirty
I usually order a size XS in Free People. The skirt for the XS was too snug. I couldn't get it to zip. The shirt fit great. I returned the XS and ordered a Small. The Small fits great for both pieces. I like the flow of the shirt and the material is light.

Drainage woes are common in home landscapes, especially in foundation plantings next to the house. Drainage issues can arise in areas where there is hard red clay that holds water for a long period of time.
They also can be found in a subdivision that was built on a former swamp or a lot that was not graded correctly so it doesn't slope away from the house.
All of these scenarios create unfavorable growing conditions for plants. They get "wet feet," which is a catch-all term for a list of diseases and problems associated with poor drainage. Areas with poor drainage tend to hold moisture, and this often causes the roots of a plant to rot.
If root rot affects the crown or major roots, the plant can wilt and die rapidly. If the rot affects only the small "feeder" roots, the plant may decline slowly and just look sickly and be unproductive. The damage may be present on only a part of the root system, resulting in the appearance of yellow, stunted leaves on part of the plant.
Usually, a plant situated in a poorly-drained area will turn yellow in a few months. Many folks throw out some fertilizer, thinking the plants need nitrogen, and this makes things worse. Then they compound the problem by watering too often.
Providing good soil drainage can prevent most root disorders. That means you need to slope beds and lawns so water runs away from the house. In some drastic cases, this may require re-grading, but this may be the only solution if you want to grow plants.
If there is a slope going toward your house, you may have to create a swale to carry the water away from the house.
For those of you in swampy or low areas, grading is usually not the answer. In such cases, you may need to construct drainage channels or install French drains.
Installing gutters can help in many cases if you don't have them. If you have gutters, make sure they drain properly and the downspouts drain away from the plants and don't pool water. Adding an extension pipe on downspouts can help solve problems by releasing the water farther away from the house.
You can also provide drainage by using raised beds, which is particularly good for annuals and tender perennials.
Amending planting beds with 3 to 5 inches of good topsoil or compost will help improve drainage. A general rule of thumb for applying organic matter is to add 25 percent by volume. Using less organic matter than this won't provide enough soil structure change to make a difference.
If you're planting a tree or bush, don't place soil amendments directly in the planting hole. Till or spade the amendments into the entire bed if possible. Dig single planting holes at least twice the size of the root ball.
You can check the drainage conditions before planting by filling the hole with water. If most of the water is still there an hour or two later, a drainage problem is likely. If so, take corrective measures or use only plants tolerant of poorly drained sites.
Never place a plant deeper than the top of the root ball. This is a common mistakemade when it comes to planting. Keep the plant raised up as you are putting the soil back into the hole.
Another common mistake is over-watering. Most plants need about one inch of water per week to look and perform their best, but sometimes less is needed in poorer drained areas. Most shrubs, once established, can go much longer without water. Far too many people water them every other day because they are watering their grass every other day, so the shrubs get it whether they need it or not. This leads to root problems.
Roots need oxygen and excess water forces oxygen out of the root area.

When Did Google Reader Get Rounded Buttons?

Are there other new features that I haven't noticed yet?

If you've previously gone to Johnny's Thoughts (johnnysthoughts.com) and are wondering what on earth has happened, I've moved over to Tech-Recipes… a few months ago… but haven't been able to migrate the old content because of theme issues. We've finally resolved the issues, so I have redirected the domain name over.
I've tried to migrate the important pages, such as the quick reference guides. I'll try and move some of the most popular articles at some point in the near future.
If there's anything else I missed that you are looking for, drop me a line and I'll find it for you.
My parents split up when I was 8 years old.
I didn't see my dad much after that, and one of the last vivid memories I have of him was when he brought me a cake for my 10th birthday. It was a rum cake… perhaps slightly inappropriate for a kid's cake, but it began my obsesssion with rum and cake soaked in rum. I've had a lot of rum cakes, but never one before that matched that first delicious bite.
All that changed a few days ago - Quinn sent me a tracking number out of the blue, and said to be on the lookout for a package shipped next day air. I spent the remainder of the day trying to figure out what on earth would require overnight shipping… knowing Q, I figured he was sending me a math puzzle involving molecular density of superheroes.
Imagine my surprise when I open the box and smelled the glorious scent of rum. The cake was absolutely phenomenal… unlike anything I've ever tasted before in my life… words fail me.
Thanks Jennifer and Quinn… ( but especially Jennifer, for baking the heavenly cake! )
Make sure you visit Jennifer's food blog: Bake or Break
I just found a really useful freeware utility, a tabbed file explorer! As a dedicated tab user in Firefox, I have always disliked windows explorer - too many windows open all the time. I dislike most of the explorer replacements because they have 14,209 options… I just want something nice and simple if I'm going to bother using a GUI at all. (and you should use the command line too)
It's fairly customizable as well, although it could use a list view.
I have a hotkey utility that launches folders at the press of a key… and with this utility you can pass the name of the folder on the command line, which will then open the folder in a new tab.
If you know of a better utility, let me know.
Continuing the series on Google Reader tips, there's now a Google Reader Notifier for Windows.
Previously there had only been Mac and Firefox versions, but now there's a version for those of us that use Windows.
This version also has the ability to filter by multiple tags or folders, which is useful if you have as many feeds as I do.
Homepage: Google Reader Notifier
Continuing on the series about Google Reader, I've just come across an extension for Firefox for that shows you the unread items in your google reader account.
The nice thing about this extension is that if you mouse hover over the status bar, it will show you exactly how many unread items are in each tag or folder. That's a quick way to see if the unread items are actually in your important folders.
I took this screenshot from the project page… if you were a web 2.0 blogger, you'd be able to quickly see that there are 24 unread items in that category.

Tonight, I had the unfortunate event of being notified that Rocky 6 is coming out in theaters shortly. I don't watch tv, so I hadn't seen the trailers for this movie, and wasn't properly notified that it was coming…

According to Web Analytics World, Search Engine Roundtable, and WebmasterWorld, Google is going through another data refresh.
Yes, this means that all of the SEO geeks will start whining as Google finally catches up to them and starts dropping the rankings for their mostly worthless sites.
I'm of the firm belief that all of these SEO tactics are a waste of time. Everybody thinks that they can make a quick dollar by using the latest tactics and methods to gain search engine position. What ever happened to quality? What happens when Google catches up to you and deranks your site?
We'll use Tech-Recipes for an example - The site has been around for over 3 years now, and has over 1800 recipes. Because of the dedication to useful, quality content, now the site has grown to the point where it's one of the premier tech help websites on the net.
Quality content over time is the only answer. Fame and fortune follow success, not the other way around.

Tent That Is Well Designed
January 22, 2014
Even though this is a well designed tent that has served us well, there are some structural issues that need to be fully addressed. The fly only covers two thirds of the tent, and the ends are very vulnerable to leaking, making it unwise to use this tent in the event of mildly inclement weather. I eventually traded in this tent and have been quite satisfied with the results I have received thus far.

Offers a Lot of Space
November 17, 2013
It is imperative that you use water sealer on the seams: we decided to test it the night before a camping trip. There were some leaks that were exposed and we managed to get them sealed. Otherwise, this is a great buy, offering our family of six a good deal of space. It is light weight and very easy to assemble.

Great Product at an Excellent Price
December 27, 2012
Prior to giving my review of this tent, let me give to you a brief background of my experience with tents. My previous tent was a very poor product. Not only did it leak when it rained but also two of the poles broke without too much effort. It was so bad that I returned this tent and got a refund. After doing some research and learning about the reputation of this tent, I decided to give it a try and discovered that it is a very easy tent to assemble. With only four poles to contend with, it is very easy to get set up in less than twenty minutes. Granted, this tent will leak in some situations, but then again, if you want a tent that is completely leak proof, then you need to contemplate purchasing a camper. This tent is a good buy that offers incredible quality for the price at which is listed.

Disappointed in Eureka
May 13, 2012
We were very disappointed with Eureka after this tent. Normally Eureka is our brand, but we returned the tent less than a week after buying it. The biggest problem is the rain fly. For a tent as big as this one, the fly definitely needs to be bigger. It seems that the rain fly only serves to guide water into places on the tent that leak. One of the biggest leak problems was definitely with the way that the zippers were constructed. Water would gather just above where the zippers came together and slowly leak into the tent. Even if the problem with the zippers was fixed, many of the seams on the tent leaked. This happened even after I properly sealed them using the sealer that the manufacturer recommends. In the end we decided on buying a tent from another company. Unless you can guarantee great clear weather when you are going camping, don't get this tent.

Fabulous Deal
August 20, 2011
This tent is a great buy at an excellent price. All in all, expect this tent to fit a maximum of seven adults. When we used it, we had five adults and we found that we had no trouble storing all of our gear inside with us. Even though the directions can say it will hold nine, this could get a little crowded. Also, beware of leaks, since you will need to seal the seams in order to insure that it does not leak. This issue aside, this tent really is a good buy. When it comes to set up, it is extremely easy to do. I've done smaller tents which had bad poles, but this tent, though larger, was a breeze to assemble. From start to finish, it took us about ten minutes to get everything set up.

Great Tent For Casual Camping
July 4, 2011
If you are looking for a tent that can fit up to nine people, then this is a tent that is made just for you! One word of caution: only use this tent if the weather is good; do not use it if the weather is poor. When we used it during a minor storm, the tent suffered some minor structural damage due to the wind driven rain.

Poor Construction, Poor Customer Service by Eureka
May 27, 2010
When our family started planning a camping trip, we started looking for a big tent (five people and two dogs) and eventually decided on this one. The first problem with this tent started when we tried to set it up. The directions were unclear and confusing, and trying to get the support poles where they were supposed to go was difficult. Next, we began having issues with the poor materials in the construction of the tent. The plastic snaps that are used to secure the roof are weak, and one of them broke on the first setup. We also had to use pins to hold the door shut after the zipper jammed. The waterproofing leaves much to be desired. After the first time it rained, everything in the tent was wet. When I went to try to get the tent properly repaired Eureka said they needed to 'evaluate' it before making any repairs, and said that I needed to pay for shipping.

Very Pleased With the Tent
July 12, 2009
At the outset, I need to say that we are quite pleased with this tent and have decided that if the time comes to purchase a new tent, we will gladly consider purchasing another one like it. One piece of advice is that prior to going on a camping trip that you set up the tent so as to get everything properly inventoried and get properly acclimated to the way everything fits together. I had originally purchased this tent for use during a three day music festival for our family of four (we have two teenagers). This tent gave us plenty of privacy, and despite some rain, we managed to stay both dry and snug. This tent might be a little pricier than other brands, but in the long run, you get a lot of quality for a great price. One minor issue: there could be better screening to keep the insects out, and there could be stakes provided for rocky soil.

Tent With Positives And Negatives
May 23, 2009
This tent has its pluses and minuses. On the positive size it is very easy to assemble and possesses a good deal of height and inner space. On the down side, no matter how much preparation and foresight you exercise, you will never be able to keep the rain out in the event there is a minor drizzle. I used four cans of sealant to try to ensure that the rain stayed out and it still did not work. Also, the fly sheet poles are extremely fragile. In my case, they broke after the first use. In a nutshell, this gets a mixed review because of all of its flaws.

Great Light Weight Tent
March 7, 2009
Since I do not have that many issues with this product, I will get my relatively minor complaint out of the way first. Getting the guy wires and stakes in place for this tent is a little bit cumbersome. I wound up using 18 stakes, which even though it made it quite stable, on the flip side, it meant that set up was quite long. This aside, the tent is a light weight wonder! We have a family of six and have found that it is very easy to stick all of the equipment inside along with all of the other people. Even in the wind and the rain, this tent gets high marks for the overall quality of its performance.

Large And Easy to Assemble Tent
February 19, 2009
Prior to using this tent, I would like to recommend that you put a tarp down on the ground and then placing the tent on top. On the flip side, if it is rainy out, then do not use a tarp because it tends to cause the water to pool. Our reason for using a tarp is that there is no reinforced bottom. Otherwise, this is an excellent tent that is quite large, very spacious inside, and extremely easy to assemble.

Perfect For Family Camping
January 5, 2009
The most critical thing in order to have a successful camping expedition is for you to seal the seams. If you notice the slightest leak, go ahead and seal them again. Overall, this is a great tent for family camping trips. The fiberglass poles do a decent job, even though one broke on the first use. The tent is spacious, giving room for both campers and gear.

Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc.'s new chief executive officer is adamant that his company will not resort to further price cuts to increase market share after the breakup of the Russian-Belarus potash cartel sent the crop nutrient plunging.
The sharp drop in fertilizer prices underpinned Potash Corp.'s weak performance last year and threw into question the Canadian company's strategy of pursuing price over volume.
But Potash Corp. CEO, Jochen Tilk, affirmed his company's commitment to its tactics.
"We are not deviating at this moment because something just happened," Mr. Tilk said in a phone interview from Saskatchewan. "I can tell you that there will be consistency on adhering to that strategy."
The bulk of the potash market used to be dominated by two main groups: the Russian-Belarus cartel and its North American counterpart called Canpotex, which includes Potash Corp and two other producers.
Since the crop nutrient is not traded publicly, the five producers had an oligopoly over the fertilizer industry and were able to control prices.
But last year, Russia's Uralkali killed the arrangement it had with its Belarus rival in order to sell more potash globally and gain a larger share of the market.
Now Uralkali, under new management, appears to be reversing course and cut its production forecast for 2014 – a move expected to help prop up prices.
Mr. Tilk, the former CEO of Inmet Mining Corp., started his new job at the Saskatchewan-based miner July 1. He has no experience in the potash world, a place where Potash Corp.'s previous CEO Bill Doyle played an outsized role in marketing the crop nutrient to fast-growing economies like India and China.
So far, Mr. Tilk, who started his mining career digging for coal in his home country of Germany, has signalled no break from the past. Only five days on the job, Mr. Tilk said it is too soon to identify potential change, if any, at Potash Corp. But he said: "I have seldom come across an operation where there aren't opportunities of efficiencies and effiencies generally translate into improved operating costs."
Mr. Tilk is taking over as Potash Corp. and the other big producers are dealing with the same lacklustre demand, weak prices and a number of new competitors, including Anglo-Australia's BHP Billiton and Germany's K+S AG.
Potash lost a third of its value last year, although the commodity has recovered slightly to about $350 (U.S.) a tonne. Canpotex and Uralkali have already agreed to take a 24-per-cent cut in potash prices when it negotiated deals to supply the fertilizer to China earlier this year.Report Typo/Error

The Look For Less: Alexander Wang Brenda Zip Chain Bag
Alexander Wang's handbags are to die for. Each one is more unique and badass than the next. Compared to other designer bags, their price tag isn't horribly bad, but it still stings. I especially dig this Alexander Wang Brenda Zip Chain Bag ($725) for its compact size, hard-core feel, and the soft gray hue. During one of my recent bag hunts, I discovered a similar bag for way less — shall we see it?
To see the look for less,
Volcom has come out with a bag that's quite similar to Alexander Wang's version. It's this Rebel Belle Handbag ($35, originally $38). OK, so it doesn't have the authentic chain handle, and the color is darker, but it does have that grungy vibe. If you can afford the original, I say go for it, but if not, this is a good alternative.

These days kids seem to be using such devices before they can walk. So the age level suggested seem almost pointless to mention. The only mention on the box is a circular road sign with a picture of a young person and a red line. The age beside it is 0-3. 4+ is mentioned on the side of the box, at four most children know far more.

Oh, you mean that's not what you'd prefer to hear about?
In that case, I can enlighten you as to what I'm about.
I prefer romantic walks on the beach, with the moon glimmering on the water as we stroll hand in hand,...
Too cliche? Yeaaaa, probably.
Now down to the nitty gritty. I'm starting to have a growing interest in a wide variety of things. I'd like to start learning a new language (Japanese/Chinese) and perhaps take a long distance trip to either one. It's just something about the far eastern cultures, whether it be the people, the heritage or the ancient ruins and buildings. I can't describe it. You either get it or you don't. I enjoy video games ( see Mario picture ) and a wide variety of music, but Monkey Majik is where its at for me.
However, all of this stuff pales in comparison to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All that other stuff will change and go away but I always have Jesus. I also very much enjoy helping out my local church's youth group as a way of saying thanks back to Jesus.
Like me, Love me, Hate me or Detest me; It's your choice (but you'll probably love me :>)
Dont ask me d -_- b I just roll with it
Movies and shows I can watch
Monkey majik!
Food that doesn't eat me first
This didn't mean literally did it? Oh my~

DISTRACTION burglars targeted a Basingstoke woman to steal her handbag.
The burglary took place just after 1.30pm on Wednesday, June 25, at the 29-year-old victim's home in Alexandra Road, Brookvale.
A man knocked on her door and claimed her house needed new cladding. Police said she became suspicious and closed the door.
It was when she walked back through the house that she noticed her handbag was missing and another man running out of the garden with her bag.
The men were then seen running from Alexandra Road towards Lower Brook Street.
Police have released an efit image of one of the man they want to talk to about the burglary.
The man at the door is described as white, about 6ft tall, of average build and aged in his mid to late 20s.
He has several teeth missing, had short, blond hair that looked dyed, and wore a black t-shirt with a beige motif and light-coloured shorts.
The man with the bag is described as white, between 5ft 10ins and 6ft tall, and of a large, stocky build. He had a shaved head and wore a baggy light-blue t-shirt and light-coloured shorts.
Detective Constable Wes Arnold asked for any witnesses who saw the men to contact him at Basingstoke CID on 101, or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
A 29-year-old man from Sherfield-on-Loddon has been arrested in connection with this incident and has been bailed until August 20, pending further enquiries.

SIP RTC protocol for Miranda IM
Current version 0.0.0.11
Here's an implementation of SIP protocol for Miranda IM.
You can use it with any (I hope) SIP servers/services, Live Communication Server 2005.
It's based on Microsoft RTC API (Windows Messenger and Office Communicator use the same API). That's why I call this plugin SIP RTC to differentiate it from other implementations.
Please note
This plugin is in a beta state now. A lot of things are not implemented. And, for sure, there're bugs.
Please feel free to report bugs and request features. Any feedback is appreciated!

A museum is a building containing plenty of objects from the past, even before some of us were born. However the value of a museum will vary as some tend to be larger, or smaller than others. They will contain a variety of things from the past such as ovens from the early nineteen-hundreds, old cars, fine art, weapons, etc. So depending on what kind of museum it is it will have it's different ups, and downs such as the way the building itself was built, some may have been built like a large, temple like building, to a simple common building.
- A museum sometimes contains guns from decades ago, however (read disadvantages below).
- Some may have a food court therefore having access to not only food, but if one were to get the power running, they will have access to the stoves, and fridges in the kitchens.
- A museum may contain a gift shop, meaning you may have access to some clothing, and a couple other items you will need.
- Given the fact that rules have been changed, and the fact that there are some items in a museum that are kind of useless in a post-apocalyptic world you may simply destroy said useless objects as a form of entertainment, just don't make too much noise as a section of the museum may increase the sound of the shattering object.
- A museum containing guns from decades ago are not recommended to use, due to the fact that these guns are in todays world considered antiques, meaning that if used they can break and make a small combustion that can take out your eye, and given the time that has passed since their last use there is a good chance that their inner workings may have locked up.
- Museums tend to be in populated areas.
- Museums tend to have a number of entrances, and exits.
- There may not be too much space to live in, as a museum was meant to store things from way back when. And will stay that way.

The Midlands Meander and Granny Mouse
It's called the Midlands Meander, and I was doing just that a couple of weeks ago – meandering through the valleys and hills of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, where quaint villages lie cheek by jowl with historic battle sites; where a tiny independent brewery is just over the road from cheese farms and potteries; and where you can buy handmade leather shoes and bags, go on a horse trail, try your hand at clay-pigeon shooting, take the kids fishing for a day, swing through the forest like Tarzan, go sailing on a mighty dam, enjoy great country cooking, or visit a museum.
The green fields, cottages, tiny villages and munching cows will remind you of parts of Europe – but Africa is always present ...
Or do what I did – just arm yourself with the Midlands Meander map (any local tourist office or your accommodation hosts will have one) and take yourself off for a leisurely day or two pottering about this lovely part of the country.
The green fields, cottages, tiny villages and munching cows will remind you of parts of Europe, but Africa is always present – at the Mandela Capture Site where Nelson Mandela began his 27 long years of captivity, or at one of the famous Brit/Boer or Brit/Zulu battlefields, or when you notice that the grazing cattle belong to the legendary Nguni breed.
So forget the glitzy malls and buzzing cities, international cuisine and urban stuff, and spend a day or two (more if possible) mooching around the Midlands. There are literally hundreds of arts, craft and décor outlets, leisure activities and agri-tourism centres.
There are also plenty of places to stay, from farm cottages to award-winning country houses. One of the best known of these is Granny Mouse Country House & Spa in Caversham Valley in Balgowan, where, from the moment you step inside the front door, it really does feel like coming home. Shining silver, vases of freshly picked flowers, nooks and crannies, log fires, beds to sink into and gourmet cooking have made this delightfully welcoming establishment one of South Africa's favourite places to stay in the area.
Me? I came away with a handmade red leather handbag, some local cheeses, some African wind chimes, a handcrafted wooden bowl, a heavenly hammock and – an empty purse ... but wonderful memories.

Peter O'Toole, star of 'Lawrence of Arabia,' dies at 81
Aug. 2, 1932 – Dec. 14, 2013
LONDON – Peter O'Toole, who gained worldwide fame as the star of "Lawrence of Arabia" at the dawn of a career that included four Golden Globe awards and eight Academy Award nominations, has died. He was 81.
He died Saturday at the Wellington hospital in London following a prolonged illness, said his agent, Steve Kenis, Saturday in an email. It quoted O'Toole's daughter, actress Kate O'Toole, as saying the family is "completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of real love and affection being expressed toward him, and to us, during this unhappy time."
She said there would be "a memorial filled with song and good cheer, as he would have wished."
With Richard Burton and Richard Harris, O'Toole was among a select band of actors who in the 1960s and 1970s became as well-known for their lives off-screen as their brilliance on it. The three were known as hell-raisers for their drinking sprees.
"We heralded the '60s," O'Toole once said. "Me, Burton, Richard Harris, we did in public what everyone else did in private then and does for show now."
O'Toole was given the starring role in "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962) after acting with the Bristol Old Vic company and as a secondary player in films including "The Day They Robbed the Bank of England" (1960). Director David Lean had thought of Marlon Brando or Albert Finney for the lead before choosing O'Toole.
"He needed an actor beautiful enough to upstage the vast desert panoramas," Bloomberg News critic Peter Rainer wrote in 2006. "With his hawkish features, blinding blond hair and radioactive blue eyes, O'Toole is a magnificent camera subject in 'Lawrence of Arabia.' "
O'Toole, nominated for an Academy Award for leading actor, lost to Gregory Peck for "To Kill a Mockingbird," though "Lawrence of Arabia" was named best picture and Lean best director. O'Toole's performance propelled him as an international name and was described by film producer Sam Spiegel as "unequalled in modern cinema."
O'Toole, who announced his retirement last year, also starred in "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" (1969), "The Ruling Class" (1972) and "The Stunt Man" (1980). He showed off his comedic skills in "My Favorite Year" (1982) as a hard-drinking, self-centered actor unconvinced that his best days are behind him.
After eight Oscar nominations – the most recent for his role in the 2006 film "Venus" – he received an honorary Oscar in 2003.
When he was 70, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences first offered him an honorary Oscar. He wrote back to say that while "enchanted" by the offer, he felt he was too young.
His career had brought him together with "fine people, good companions with whom I've shared the inevitable lot of all actors: flops and hits," he said in a statement in July 2012. "However, it's my belief that one should decide for oneself when it is time to end one's stay. So I bid the profession a dry-eyed and profoundly grateful farewell."
Peter Seamus O'Toole was born to Patrick O'Toole, a bookmaker and soccer player, and his wife, Connie, a nurse. In his memoir, O'Toole said he wasn't sure where in the U.K. he was born, because he had two birth certificates, one giving Connemara, in County Galway, Ireland, as his place of birth, and the other saying Leeds, in north England.
His childhood was dogged by ill health, and though he could read by age 3, he didn't attend school regularly until he was 11. He left two years later with no qualifications and got a job at his local newspaper, the Yorkshire Evening News, as a tea boy.
He worked his way to reporting, covering stories with colleagues including future columnist and playwright Keith Waterhouse and author Barbara Taylor Bradford.
"I soon found out that, rather than chronicling events, I wanted to be the event," O'Toole said.
After a stint in the Royal Navy, he gained a place at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in a class that also included Finney and Alan Bates.
He made his stage debut in London's West End in 1957 and two years later was cast in the play "The Long and the Short and the Tall" at the Royal Court Theatre, where his understudy was Michael Caine. He made his film debut in Walt Disney's "Kidnapped" (1960) with Peter Finch.
In "Becket" (1964), he played King Henry II opposite Richard Burton's Archbishop of Canterbury. In "The Lion in Winter" (1968), he again played Henry II, this time opposite Katharine Hepburn's Eleanor of Aquitane.
Later career highlights include "Caligula" (1979), "The Last Emperor" (1987), "Troy" (2004) and "Stardust" (2007). He was also the voice of restaurant critic Anton Ego in Pixar's animated "Ratatouille" (2007).
One of his most acclaimed performances was his portrayal of a former drinking partner in "Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell," a long-running stage play written by Waterhouse that was made into a 1999 television movie.

Maybe I should start a feature called Weird Stories About Food Cans. This would be in it along with the cheeseburger in a can.
Apparently the designer of the Pringles potato chip can and the whole system of getting those curved, stacked chips into the can was so proud of his work he asked to have his ashes buried in one of the cans when he died.
Fredric J. Baur, of Cincinnati, who died in May at age 89, was an organic chemist and food storage technician, whatever that is.
Consumer blogger Liz Kay sent me the link to the AP story, suggesting that maybe it was too weird for Dining@Large.
Surely you jest, Liz.

Is it just me, or is it really annoying that you cant delete sound packs!
(no way I know of at least)
there should be an easily visble option on the sound packs page
- just my opinion
nevermind - fixed it.
Related to this: it would be useful to be able to rename packs. Spelling mistakes might be one cause.

Elder William Wentworth
chr.15 Mar 1615/16 Alford, Lincolnshire, England
d.15 Mar 1697 Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, United States
Family tree▼
m. bef 1642
m. bef 1647
m. bef 1668
Facts and Events
William Wentworth (1616-1697) was a follower of John Wheelwright, and an early settler of New Hampshire. Coming from Alford in Lincolnshire, he likely came to New England with Wheelwright in 1636, but no records are found of him in Boston. When Wheelwright was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for his role in the Antinomian Controversy, he established the settlement of Exeter, New Hampshire, and Wentworth followed him there and then to Wells, Maine. After Wheelwright left Wells for Hampton, New Hampshire, Wentworth went to Dover, New Hampshire, and this is where he lived the remainder of his life. He was the proprietor of a sawmill, and held several town offices, but is most noted for being an elder in his Dover church for nearly 40 years. He had 11 children with two wives, and has numerous descendants, including many of great prominence.
For a discussion of his wife or wives, see The Wife Or Wives Of Elder William1 Wentworth.
For a discussion of his children, see The Children Of Elder William1 Wentworth.
It will be seen, by the two transcripts from the Wentworth Genealogy, that information and dates concerning Elder William Wentworth's wife/wives and children are lacking. For the purpose of providing a construct for including all his children in some organized fashion, the following assumptions are made, recognizing that existing record evidence is not adequate to either prove or disprove them.

Food Crises and Gender Inequality
This paper examines the current food crises, the projected effect of climate change, the vulnerabilities created by regional concentrations of food production, imports and exports, and the significant role of women as food producers, consumers and family food managers. Bridging productivity differentials between male and female farmers, by helping women overcome production constraints, would significantly increase agricultural output. This becomes an imperative, given the feminization of agriculture. Institutionally, a group approach to farming would help women and other small holders enhance their access to land and inputs, benefit from economies of scale, and increase their bargaining power economically and socially.

Panthers hit goal, card 380 at Wadena
Led by career bests by Mariena Dearstyne and Katie Walsh, the Park Rapids girls golf team reached a goal by carding a 380 at Thursday's Wadena-Deer Creek Invitational at Whitetail Run.
