My all-time favorite jobs as a photographer are those that involve shooting artists' spaces, and, of course, the artists that they house. So I was completely thrilled when Knit.1 asked me to pay a visit to designer Wenlan Chia's studio in Manhattan to spend the day with her for a few portraits and studio shots. We had such a great time together – and I thought I'd share some of the shots with you, as I'm sure there are some big Twinkle fans out there.
She carries two other yarn lines, which I hadn't ever experienced in person – and let me tell you, being surrounded by handknit samples of throws everywhere you turn isn't a bad way to experience a new yarn either.
And while of course I had plenty of delicious knits around to keep my lens busy all day… there were certainly a few other things that I had a hard time keeping away from…
Wenlan's dog, Milan, has a huge personality and wanted to be a part of the action all day. Aside from being a photogenic little canine, he serves as inspiration for many of Wenlan's home designs as I soon found out.
I think I mentioned in a previous post about my Twinkle Chunky throw (Finished! Photos soon!) that I had come into a small stash of Soft Chunky in a special circumstance – well this is how. I saw these luscious throws in the studio and had to have one. And since Wenlan basically forced me to take yarn… what was I to do but gracefully oblige?
If you'd like to read up on Wenlan's inspiring story, check out the article in the current issue of Knit.1 for more. My very own Chia-designer-throw will be featured here in just a few short days… if I can pull myself out from under it long enough for a photoshoot.
I hope you are all enjoying the holidays and giving your knitting some extra special face-time. It feels like the first time I've been able to take a breath and truly enjoy my knitting for some time. And it's wonderful.

Using 'Inclusive Wealth' to Measure and Model Sustainable Development in Australia: A working example
Australia in 1992 adopted the National Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Development to ensure all future development occurs in a 'sustainable' manner. Measurement of the nation's sustainable development is currently conducted through the OECD Environmental Performance Review and various other ad-hoc indicators or measures have been proposed, such as greening the national accounts (Green Gross National Product) and the Genuine Progress Indicator. No one has identified a clear and precise way to either measure or model sustainable development in Australia. By trialing the implementation of inclusive wealth theory in Australia, this paper aims to identify and comment on the issues of measuring and modelling sustainable development as a stock measure in Australia (measuring the change in composition of national assets over time). Conceptual issues of implementation will be discussed with examples provided from two trial regions Goulburn Broken Catchment (VIC) and Murrumbidgee Valley (NSW).

Streeper posts fastest time in day two of International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race
(West Yellowstone, Mont.) – Blayne "Bud" Streeper from Fort Nelson, British Columbia, Canada, posted the fastest time on Day Two of the 2013 International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race (IPSSSDR) with a time of 4:09:20 on the 56-mile-trail from West Yellowstone, Mont. Running 10 dogs, Streeper averaged 13.5 miles per hour on the trail – the first time the IPSSSDR has raced on this particular trail that finished at the Bear Gulch Trailhead 10 miles outside Ashton, Idaho.
Lars Lindh from Kiruna, Sweden, was second with a time of 4:12:24; Ryan Redington from Wasilla, Alaska, was third with a time of 4:13:31; William Kornmuller from Willow, Alaska, was fourth with a time of 4:17:44; and in fifth, Dave Turner from Sandy, Ore., posted a time of 4:19:08. Complete times are available at http://www.wyomingstagestop.
Lander's Jerry Bath came in 12th with a time of 4:45:33. There are 21 teams participating.
Following the West Yellowstone, Mont., stage, teams left for Alpine, Wyo., where a community dinner awaited them. On Monday, January 28 at 9 a.m. the race will leave the starting line in Alpine on a 56-mile course.
The race will travel to Pinedale, Lander, Big Piney/Marbleton, Kemmerer, Mountain View and Evanston, Wyo., over the next week. The race trail's Montana and Wyoming stages cross into Idaho and Utah with the new 2013 route, making the IPSSSDR the first sled dog race to span four states, according to Race Director Teasley.

In the modern era, with many baseball stadiums moving to downtown urban locales, tailgating has become more and more rare. But don't tell that to Phillies fans.
The South Philadelphia Sports Complex is something of an anomaly in the modern stadium era. Featuring three major sports venues — Citizens Bank Park, the Wells Fargo Center and Lincoln Financial Field — and surrounded by parking lots, it remains as one of the last bastions of tailgating, for baseball games, at least.
So perhaps it shouldn't be much of a surprise that, on Tuesday, the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Liquor Enforcement cited 61 individuals for underage drinking outside Citizens Bank Park. Plainclothes officers patrolled the parking lots outside the ballpark before and while the Phillies took on the Mets, from 4 to 9 p.m. Two of the offenders were said to be under 18 years old, according to Metro Philadelphia.
Officials have pledged to continue with the periodic crackdowns throughout the season. And, for the record, this is far from the first time the Phillies have had problems with college-age drinkers.

Subscriber portal
hi all,
In my c#.net application i have used stacktrace to capture method name and file name in case of failure.
There is some difference in the stacktrace between x86 and x64 platform.
public string ErrorMessage
_strErrorMessage = "Error : " + value;
//Call the method to log error.
In the above code snippet, while setting the ErrorMesasage property i am calling LogError method which is capturing the stack trace and writing it into the logfile.
Logger obj=new Logger();
In this case in X86 platform the stack trace is containing two stackframes. one for methodA and another for setter of ErrorMessage Property.
In X64 platform, the stack trace is containing only one stackframe for methodA and there is no stackframe for setter of ErrorMessage Property.
can anybody explain me how the optimization is happening while getting the stacktrace?
Or could it be just that the method is inlined rather than some kind of "stacktrace optimization" ? What if you try the noinlining flag ? (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.compilerservices.methodimploptions.aspx)
Also not sure how you get the stack trace but if this is for exceptions (is this what you meant with "failures" ?), my personal preference would be to get the stack trace for the exception object being processed rather than the stacktrace for the
method that processes this exception.

A general analytic solution for Brillouin distributed sensing in optical fibers with sub-meter spatial resolution is obtained by solving the acoustical-optical coupled wave equations by a perturbation method. The Brillouin interaction of a triad of square pump pulses with a continuous signal is described, covering a wide range of pumping schemes. The model predicts how the acoustic wave, the signal amplitude and the optical gain spectral profile depend upon the pumping scheme. Sub-meter spatial resolution is demonstrated for bright-, dark- and π-shifted interrogating pump pulses, together with disturbing echo effects, and the results compare favorably with experimental data. This analytic solution is an excellent tool not only for optimizing the pumping scheme but also for post-processing the measured data to remove resolution degrading features.

Report cites weak laws in rising animal cruelty cases
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Tennessee is one of the worst states when it
comes to taking a bite out of animal cruelty. The Humane Society says the
Volunteer State faced more large-scale animal emergencies than any other in
the past three years. The dubious recognition is sparking debate over
tougher penalties for animal abusers.

Rapper Lil Wayne (real name, Dwayne Carter) probably breathed a sigh of relief a few months ago when he settled his $1.13 million debt with the Internal Revenue Service. That debt related to income from 2004, 2005, and 2007. But compared to the new lien just filed for income earned in 2008 and 2009, that previous bill must seem small. The good news is, Lil Wayne's income must have grown substantially in the last few years. The bad news is, the new lien, filed in Miami, is for $5.6 million in back taxes.
Just months ago, in the fall of 2010, Carter was released from Rikers Island after serving nearly a year on gun possession charges. AllHipHop.com claimed last year that Carter's tax woes were a result of a special IRS unit focused on targeting rappers, athletes, and entertainers. They believe that in 2007, the tax agency formed an "issue management team" to collect from these highly paid individuals.
"A few years ago, they concluded that athlete and entertainer taxes might be escaping their radar. So they reinstated a division to only deal with this area", Bill Zysblat told reporters at AllHipHop.com. Zysblat is with the global touring and accounting company RZO Productions.
Boxer Floyd Mayweather is also going a second round with the taxman. The IRS filed a lien against him in Las Vega last January in the amount of $3,359,279. The tax bill was generated by income of $25 million, the purse he won when he came out of retirement in 2009 to fight Juan Manuel Marquez.
Mayweather, now 34, went the first round with the IRS two years ago. At that time the fed filed a lien against him for $6,165,735 for income earned in 2007. The 2009 fight against Marquez extinguished that debt before he even stepped into the ring. Prior to that match, Mayweather had retired from boxing. When the news of the upcoming fight was revealed, the IRS prepared to file a levy with the Nevada Athletic Commission to collect $5.6 million from the purse Mayweather would win for fighting Marquez ($4.7 million in back taxes, and $900,000 in penalties). The levy was never filed, and the tax bill was paid out of Mayweather's earnings from the match with Marquez. At the time, the boxer's tax attorney said he had settled all of his tax debt. However, although he may have paid all the back taxes due at that time, it appears Mayweather did not pay tax on the $25 million he earned that year (from the Marquez match and Pay-per-view income), hence the new lien.
Mayweather is also facing legal troubles for domestic violence and a defamation lawsuit filed by boxer Manny Pacquiao.

Caring Currents
Think Like Grandma and Reap Even Bigger Savings
Last updated: Apr 16, 2009
Some weeks ago I wrote what turned out to be a very popular article about money-saving tips from our Depression-era family members. It makes sense; now that we're in the midst of what feels like Depression number 2, we can learn a lot from those who survived -- and, in some cases, thrived -- during the Great Depression.
It seems, though, that I wasn't too original; other financial advice columnists also have turned to the Depression for inspiration for today's tough times. One of my favorites, ShrinkageIsGood, got me thinking about how we need to change our mindset about money using our Depression-era grandparents or parents as role models.
I started thinking about all the ways I've started to "channel" my Midwestern mother and grandmother, and how when I make choices like the ones I know they made, my bank balance starts to build without my even worrying about it. Here are my top "think like Grandma" strategies:
Plant a vegetable garden. Think of the four or five veggies or herbs you buy most often and grow them yourself. This is the season; tomato, bean, lettuce, and herb starter plants are available everywhere right now. You don't need a big yard; a few containers will work just fine. Ask your local nursery (or a neighbor who's already got a garden) which varieties grow best where you live and need the least care. Not only will you cut your grocery bill, but home grown food tastes way better too. And it's really fun to harvest the evening's salad ten minutes before dinner.
Don't spend money to "entertain" yourself. Develop a few free hobbies and beef up your social life, and you'll be surprised by how easy it is to eliminate this category of spending altogether. Hiking, picnicking, and reading are all entirely free. Organize movie nights with friends using DVDs each family already owns. Make it a party with popcorn and other treats and you might find it's more fun to laugh together over last year's hits than it is to spend $10 on this month's mediocre offerings.
Rethink the meaning of "vacation". Did our parents and grandparents consider a week at a lake cabin (much less two weeks in Hawaii) an expected annual reward? No, they did not - my mother often told me that during her childhood, if they managed a summer family visit down South, they considered themselves lucky indeed. Think about it. Do you have friends you lament seeing too infrequently? Go visit them! Take a fishing trip to a local river -- and camp out. Better yet, turn your garden into a relaxing haven and hang out there with a fruity drink or some minty homemade iced tea and a good book. Isn't that what you'd do on your exotic vacation anyhow?
Do it yourself. Like everything, this is a time vs. money calculation we each have to make. But if cash is really what you wish you had more of, then the more you do yourself the less you'll need to pay others. Start with the obvious: Mow your lawn yourself, clean your house yourself. But go a step farther -- teach yourself to upgrade your computer, replace a washer in the faucet, clean out the furnace filter. Last weekend I set aside a few hours and slowly and painstakingly fixed my watering system, repairing each leaky tube and loose valve. It took about four hours, but it made for a pleasant afternoon in the garden and in the end I saved $200 that will come in very handy.
Make it yourself. This tip tends to get tossed around a little too freely; we're not all going to suddenly become master quilters. But you'd be surprised at the skills almost anyone can pick up. Instead of ordering a new coffee table from Pottery Barn, pick one up at a garage sale and refinish the top with sandpaper and oil. Wish you could start the season with some new garden furniture? Revitalize yours with a new coat of paint. Visit a discount craft store for ideas, but don't get carried away. Confine yourself to simple projects that save you money by eliminating common purchases. In my household, for example, we've started making cards by collaging with magazines and tissue paper, and wrapping gifts in brown paper bags decorated with sponge painting or stickers.
The added value? You might find this simpler, more old-fashioned life is actually more fun as well.

text: After two nights finally got the Xperia Mini VPN client connected to a CISCO 5505 So I thought lets share this who is interested (text mostly from other forum & adjusted): 1. Install OpenSSL & MS Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable (needed to create certificate) Note: All openSSL certificate commands in this article are executed in the C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin folder Open Dosbox (cmd) and goto folder: C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin type: Code (Text): set OPENSSL_CONF=C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\openssl.cfg 2. Create CA key pair. Key file is password protected, so give some password for the key file when queried by OpenSSL. Code (Text): openssl genrsa -out CA_key.pem -des3 2048 3. Create a self-signed certificate for the CA. Code (Text): openssl req -new -key CA_key.pem -x509 -days 365 -out CA_crt.pem 4. To be able to generate the certificate based on the private key, the password for the key file is needed. Give the password given when originally creating the key file in step 2. The command also needs the details for the DN (Distinguished Name) of the certificate. Use for example the following values: Country Code = US State = TX Locality = Houston Organization = Company Organizational Unit = OU Common Name = COMMONCA Email Address = <leave empty> 5. Create a Client Certificate Request Create a key pair for the client. Key file is password protected, so give some password for the key file when queried by OpenSSL. Code (Text): openssl genrsa -out client_key.pem -des3 2048 6. Create a certificate request for a client certificate. Code (Text): openssl req -new -key client_key.pem -out client_csr.pem 7. To be able to generate the certificate request based on the private key, the password for the key file is needed. Give the password given when originally creating the key file in step 1. The command also needs the details for the DN (Distinguished Name) of the certificate. Use for example the following values: Country Code = US State = TX Locality = Houston Organization = Company Organizational Unit = OUAndroid Common Name = AndroidClient Email Address = <leave empty> Note that by default Cisco uses the Organizational Unit -field as the name of VPN tunnel group. For example, with the certificate configured as above, the VPN tunnel group must be named "OUAndroid" in ASA. OpenSSL also asks values for optional "challenge password" and "company name" fields. Leave these fields blank. 8. To sign the client's certificate request using the CA's key, use the following command: Code (Text): openssl x509 -req -in client_csr.pem -CA CA_crt.pem -CAkey CA_key.pem -out client_crt.pem -days 365 -CAcreateserial -CAserial CA.seq CA's key file's password is needed, give the password originally used when creating the CA's key pair. 9. Transform the .pem-format certificate to a pkcs#12 file: Code (Text): openssl pkcs12 -export -out client_crt.p12 -inkey client_key.pem -in client_crt.pem -certfile CA_crt.pem The pkcs#12 file is now ready to imported to an Android device: -Copy client_crt.p12 to the root of the SDcard -Goto Settings: Location & Security / Install Certificate from SDcard -Enter password to unpack and install the certificate 10. Import the CA Certificate to Cisco ASA Log in to Cisco ASA using ASDM tool, and open Configuration - Remote Access VPN - Certificate Management - CA Certificates. Click Add, and in Install from a file -field, browse the CA certificate file created previously. Trustpoint name can be left as the default, or it can be changed to something more descriptive. Click Install Certificate. (client_crt.pem in the \bin folder) 11. Create a Server Certificate Request In Cisco ASDM, select Configuration - Certificate Management - Identity Certificates. Click Add. Select Add a new identity certificate. There is a bug in ASA which prevents creating the identity certificate directly in an existing trustpoint. Thus, a different trustpoint must be selected compared to what was used for the CA certificate. The certificate will be moved to the same trustpoint manually later. Select the subject DN fields by clicking Select. Add same values as for the client, except for the Common Name (CN) field. Use e.g. "ciscoasa" there (my default cisco hostname) Click Add Certificate, and save the certificate request to a file, e.g. "server_csr.pem" (in the \bin folder) 12. Sign the Server Certificate Request Using the CA To sign the server's certificate request using the CA's key, use the following command: Code (Text): openssl x509 -req -in server_csr.pem -CA CA_crt.pem -CAkey CA_key.pem -out server_crt.pem -days 365 -CAserial CA.seq CA's key file's password is needed, give the password originally used when creating the CA's key pair. 13. Install the Server Certificate in Cisco ASA In Cisco ASDM, select Configuration - Certificate Management - Identity Certificates. Select the pending certificate, and click Install. Browse for the signed certificate file, and click Install Certificate. Identity certificate is still in the wrong trustpoint. It must be manually moved to the same trustpoint with the server certificate. Open and SSH or Telnet connection to ASA, and run command (all commands are expected to be executed in enable and/or configure mode): Code (Text): sh run crypto In the output, both trustpoints previously created should be visible, with one certificate each, like in the following: crypto ca certificate chain ASDM_Trustpoint0 certificate ca <ID> <cert contents> quit crypto ca certificate chain ASDM_Trustpoint1 certificate <ID> <cert contents> quit Copy the certificate in the temporary trustpoint (ASDM_Trustpoint1) to the clipboard, starting from the line beginning with word "certificate" and ending with the line starting with "quit". Enter the configuration mode (command "conf t") and modify the real trustpoint (named ASDM_Trustpoint0 in this example): Code (Text): crypto ca certificate chain ASDM_Trustpoint0 Paste the certificate copied to the clipboard. Execute command "exit" to exit trustpoint configuration. Remove the identity certificate from the temporary trustpoint: Code (Text): crypto ca certificate chain ASDM_Trustpoint1 no certificate <ID> exit Remove the temporary trustpoint: Code (Text): no crypto ca trustpoint ASDM_Trustpoint1 At this point, the certificate configuration should look like this (both certificates are under the same trustpoint): crypto ca certificate chain ASDM_Trustpoint0 certificate <ID> <certificate contents> quit certificate ca <ID> <certificate contents> quit Save config (exit, write mem). Refresh configuration in ASDM, and verify from there also that certificates are under the same trustpoint. 14. As last part, a short checklist about all the locations that need some configuration in ASDM: Create IPSec Transform sets Android uses IPSec transport mode, so there need to be transform sets with Transport mode enabled. Configure these transform sets: ESP-AES-128-SHA-TRANSP and ESP-3DES-SHA-TRANSP. (I named them android 1 & 2) Create IKE Policy A specific IKE Policy is needed. Configure a policy with these values: Encryption: 3DES Hash: SHA Authentication: rsa-sig D-H Group: 2 Check IKE Parameters Check that IKE is enabled on WAN interface, and that NAT-T is enabled. Also see below to enable. Run the VPN Wizard AnyConnect: -Connection Profile: OUAndroid (as specified in the certificate) -VPN Protocols: SSL + IPSEC and choose the certificate -Add a client image (for example anyconnect-linux-2.3xxxk9-pkg) * only needed to continue the wizard * -AAA server Groups: LOCAL and create a user -Client Address: assign a DHCP pool for the connected clients -DNS: optional -NAT exempt: Exempt VPN traffic ON (choose right interface) -Allow Web Launch: NO Further settingss: Enable Ike1 on designated interface: Code (Text): crypto ikev1 enable <interface> Remote Access VPN - IPSec(IKEv1) Connection Profiles: Edit OUAndroid profile: Basic: check if "Identity Certificate" still holds the certificate Under Advanced - IPSec, set IKE Peer ID Validation to Do not check. Under Advanced - IPSec, set IKE keepalives to Disable keepalives. Under Advanced - PPP, select only PAP. Site to Site VPN - Crypto Maps: Check if the IKEv1 IPSec Transform sets are selected (in my case sets android 1 & 2): dynamic: 65535.65535 1 any any ip Protect android1 android2 AES256 AES192 AES 3DES DES Group Policies (above): edit the OUAndroid policy Select only IPsec IKEv1 & L2TP/IPSec example: GroupPolicy_OUAndroid Internal l2tp-ipsec;ikev1 OUAndroid On the Xperia: Goto Wireless connections / VPN settings: Add VPN Choose VPN L2TP/IPSec CRT Enter VPN name (can be anything) VPN server: IP of CISCO ASA VPN server Select the user certificate (imported on phone) Select the ca-certificate (imported on phone) Press lower right button on Experia and SAVE Connect with username and password and if all goes well your connected ! Goodluck

not included with neck straps.
I call this a horizontal neck strap because that is the way the camera hangs. The
horizontal neck strap attaches to both lugs, with the included 1/2"
split rings (and optional attach strings—see below).
All horizontal neck straps (without neck pad) are US$27.
choice of 1/4" (6mm) wide light brown, burgundy, dark brown, or black leather
with black, gray, white, red, green, blue, yellow, light brown,
brown, dark brown, raspberry, turquoise, orange, and hot pink .040" (1mm) diameter waxed heavy-duty
cord. Check out the Colors page.
Figuring out the length
My neck
straps are not adjustable so specify the length desired. Most people get between 35" (90cm) and 45" (114cm). 40" (101cm) is a nice all around length. It depends how high or low you like to carry the camera. You could try some string to simulate the strap and measure that.
I will need the length of the strap you want measured from end to
end. Centimeters or inches will work. Just let me know the unit
of measure.
Neck Pads
My neck
straps will support pretty heavy loads but sometimes our necks won't.
The straps work fine for lighter cameras but, for those heavier
cameras, I have neck pads. These pads are 1" (25mm) wide and 8 3/4"
(222mm) long for good support. The edges are beveled. They are the same
leather as the straps and are available in the same colors. If you
want a neck pad, it must be ordered with the strap. Neck pads are
an additional US$13.
Strap Bumpers
A pair
of strap bumpers are an additional US$2 for the O-ring Strap Bumper
and US$8 for the Octagonal or Integral Strap Bumpers.
Attach strings
If you have a camera that has a rod or post for attaching (see which strap end to use on which camera) you can add short or long attach strings $2 for the pair. The attach string is in two loops
tied together with a bowline knot. It's much stronger that it might
appear. Check out the details of my strength
test on the home page. Note that the strap length is measured to the end of the attach strings. See "Figuring out the length" above.
Quick Disconnet Kits
Titanium quick disconnect kits are $15 and double titanium quick disconnect kits are $28. More information on quick disconnect kits.
Non-adjustable neck strap—horizontal

Somebody appears to have stolen Thunder's thunder.
An official with the Lake Elsinore Storm minor-league baseball team said the all-terrainvehicle on which the team's mascot, Thunder , roars into The Diamond stadium to the delight of fans was discoveredmissing Wednesday morning.
Patrick Gardenier, the team's director of mascot operations, said he found that the area around the locked shed in which the 2007 Kawasaki quad was kept at the stadium appeared to have been ransacked. But he added that from the outside nothing appeared missing.
Later, employees discovered the lock to the shed had been hacked off and the vehicle was gone.
"It was definitely a shock," Gardenier said. "It's kind of sad that people can have their stuff in what we would assume to be a safe place and it gets stolen like that."
Gardenier said the thieves had ripped out the ignition to be able to move the quad and left it at the shed along with the lock.
"I think they probably brought a truck (to haul the quad)," Gardenier said.
Gardenier said he reported the theft to the police and an officer took a report. He estimated the loss to be between $2,000 and $3,000.
A spokeswoman for the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, which the city contracts with for law enforcement service, confirmed that officers at the Lake Elsinore Sheriff's Station had received a report of the missing vehicle, but no further information was available Wednesday night.
He said he hopes the team will be able to replace the quad by the time the Storm's season starts in early April. The quad was painted a bright green to match Thunder's costume and fans got a kick watching him zoom around the field in the vehicle.
"He's definitely bummed, I know that," Gardenier said.
News of the theft surfaced on Thunder's Facebook page , where the mascot commented, "Dear Thief, Pleasebring back my quad! That wasn't very nice of you to steal it lastnight. If anyone has information that would be helpful in thereturn of Thunder's Green Quad, please contact me or the wonderfulpeople at the Storm Stadium. Stealing is not cool!!! P.S. Thepolice are looking for you."
The Storm can be reached by calling 951-245-4487. The Lake Elsinore Sheriff's Station can be reached by calling 951-245-3300.

When Ramik Wilson and Reggie Carter showed up for interviews after Georgia's second spring scrimmage Saturday, Carter couldn't help but notice most reporters flocking to Wilson.
Carter is a sophomore backup inside linebacker. Ahead of him are Wilson and Amarlo Herrera, the No. 1 and 3 tacklers in the SEC last season.
Both quarterback Hutson Mason and tailback Todd Gurley mentioned Wilson for his play in the scrimmage.
"Several times we tried to hand off the ball and got two or three yards," Mason said. "Sometimes that's going to happen, especially in this league, but you look around and there's Ramik again. I remember coming over one time and I'm like `Man, dude, are we not doubling?' Talking to the O-line about Ramik. They're just like, 'He made a good play.' It's good to see them make plays, too."
Carter is trying to show he can be counted on, too.
"I feel like if I keep progressing and get the coaches' trust, I will play," Carter said.
Herrera and Wilson have stuck with the starters all spring even while defensive linemen in front of them and defensive backs behind them have shuttled in and out of the first team depending on the day.
"I'm just reading the offense," Wilson said. "I see certain plays. I know when they're doing zone, I go hit it in the backfield. I'm trying to set the tone for the defense and make plays."
That doesn't mean Carter can't earn some snaps.
Carter shared the tackle lead in the first scrimmage and on Saturday he dropped back into coverage and snagged an interception.
"He's coming along," Wilson said. "That's only going to make us better and push us harder."
Defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt's new defense has seemed to push Gurley harder.
"Linebackers are more close," he said. "They're like three yards away so it's like so hard. Like leads or zones, you've really got to press your track to get them boys flowing just to get the line to block them because if not then they're going to be right there on you."

text: So I had my first burn in my hampton gci60 pellet insert tonight. This thing threw out some heat. One thing had me kinda worried though. There was a very slight haze of smoke in my house, not enough to set off the brand new smoke detectors. Could this be part of the curing process whether its the stove or my flex liner( the liner was somewhat oily when I got it). I did the install myself and sealed all the joints with Rutland high temp silicone. It being a insert i can't see the pipes, to see leaks if any. I ran it for about 2.5 hrs tonight and plan to run it tomorrow night as well, if I still get the smoke I guess I'll slide it out and re- seal it. This stove slides out just like the m55 insert, on a frame. The exhaust ( which is part of frame )connects to stove with rope gaskets by just pushing it in and clamping into place, this seems like a potential leak spot, anyone ever have problem with that connection. Anyways I hope it's just liner and stove curing. Thanks

NCL Getaway- a different type of review! : Norwegian Getaway Cruise Review by NoleMini
Overall Member Rating
NCL Getaway- a different type of review!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Embarkation: Arrived at the port around 9:30, they allowed us through security at 10am and boarded around 11:30. The Miami terminal is FREEZING, so bring a sweater. I saw more than one person wearing a winter coat with shorts in there. As soon as we got onboard DH ran to deck 6 to get a Vibe pass and got the first cabana, but the others sold out in less than 5 minutes.
Ship Impressions: The Getaway has "upgraded" décor more like RCI or Celebrity, very understated and classy compared to the more garish décor (some of the Carnival ships are just too much. Scary masks on Dream, anyone?) or bright Caribbean flavors (bright pink/green) of some of the other NCL ships.
Room 9102 is a forward window room, great space, looks over the crew bar. Great location, but downside here is you can hear noise every More time they are docking or undocking and during night parties in the crew bar. You can see past the tent that covers their bar to see over the ship and get a little view coming into port, but for good pictures, just go up on deck.
There are no real large gathering areas other than the theater for shows (such as a forward lounge, or nightclub) so all the "light" shows like Newlywed, Dancing with Stars, etc. are held in the Atrium, which is relatively small for those sized events. The second floor of the Atrium upstairs area by O'Sheehan's has chairs around the open area but is really one row deep, so we missed all of these type shows on this trip. This gets VERY crowded quickly, so if you are interested in seeing these, get there very early (on a similar note, the latitudes party was held in spice H20 on the back deck- usually held in a forward lounge or such). I missed the back deck area with the buffet like Pearl/Jewel class and the forward lounge on this ship.
Very few daily announcements overhead- they are not piped into the rooms.
Shows: Very high quality more like the Jean Ann Ryan Company of old NCL days. I think that the Oasis/Allure have brought up the quality of shows on their line and NCL has to compete. The only magicians and jugglers we saw were in the Illusionarium, which was still excellent for the upcharge. We did not see the comedians at all this week. If you like blues, see Sugar Blue and his group in the Grammy Experience, two shows each night. We were there almost every night. Some song repeats, but the musicality and band quality are incredible and they really look like they are having a good time. (I believe they are on the ship for 3 more weeks)
Vibe: They reportedly sell around 80 passes to this private adults only area but we saw a consistent group of about 25. There are five cabanas, two smaller covered cocoon chairs in the corner close to the Haven side, plenty of standard cushioned loungers, several bed-like flat cushion loungers, 7 or so umbrellas, and a private bathroom. At the bar, Alvin and Sean were great! Besides the cold towels they also bring water, juice, cookies and chilled fruit around. We did see people smoking in the Vibe area, usually at the bar.
We only saw one other cabana being used…..so 3 cabanas empty the whole week after rushing to get one. Would love to understand the reasoning behind that! The cabanas themselves are not full canvas covering, so you can still get fried without sunscreen depending on the angle of the sun. There are two cold storage areas in each cabana as well. If you open each side door, you will get a nice breeze through.
NCL: In general, there are things we like about every line/ship we have sailed as well as things we don't. We are not complainers, but we did have an incident with the room that we reported on our 5th day. Within seconds two room stewards were there checking things out, and then the hotel director was there within minutes. They said they would get someone on it and let us know the outcome. On returning to the room, there was a note to call guest services. They immediately informed us we would be changed to a new cabin, and someone was there within 20 minutes to take all our stuff to the new room, minus the laundry they offered to do for free. In addition, they offered us a free specialty restaurant, which came with a bottle of wine. We were VERY impressed with the speed at which this issue was handled, as all we did was report the problem (not complaining or requesting anything, just reporting).
Things we particularly liked: Flamingo is a great place for breakfast or lunch if you want a smaller, latin themed buffet style without the crowd. I never saw an empty seat in the garden café which was generally chaotic.
The dance parties were usually well attended and the DJ did a pretty good job with the music for 70's, 80's. He got confused with the 90's however and was mixing 70's/80's songs with 90's dance music, which was a little strange. People kept asking what time the 90's music started….
St Thomas port we did a private charter with Sail with Liberty which took us with 4 other people from cc roll call to a great snorkeling location on St John. This is a great way to get to the island without wasting a ton of time on a ferry. Open bar, no food so bring your own. They provide snorkeling equipment and life vests.
Interesting things: We got the Vibe pass as we heard the spa was charging $199/pp for one week (this is what we paid for our Panama Canal repo each for a 2 week cruise!) and this was unfortunately true. The only thing that is different about this spa compared to Pearl class is the "salt room". This is a huge jump in price and we will not be paying that much more for just one more small area in a spa (We have always gotten spa passes in the past and love it).
The latitudes party was nice, free flowing alcohol, but they did not give away anything like in the past.
We did the Thriller class (third time on an NCL ship for us doing this) and each time I swear they teach you a different section of the song. It is still a ton of fun.
DH liked the ropes course and the slides. We never got to mini golf, but the course looked good.
There was not a lot of music on the ship in general in the evenings. There was a piano guy, the pool music group and the scheduled Grammy performances, Howl at the Moon, and a standard reggae band in the pool and atrium areas. Other than that we found limited options if you didn't have a show scheduled. Someone next to us fussed one night (loyal Royal and first time on NCL) that there wasn't anything to do, but we didn't find it to be much different than other NCL cruises other than the lack of music.
One thing that particularly annoyed DH was the fact that they have LCD televisions at every bar, restaurant, and hallway it seems. Some may have ESPN running on it but most have advertisements for their specialty restaurants and bars on a continuous loop. After seeing it in the background a million times you can't help but feel "Wow I should really try Wasabi since it looks so good." Or maybe not! The Pearl class of ships has a list of all the restaurants at peak times and how full they are, where this ship only had the specialty restaurants listed and they were hard to find on that board as it was not available in the stateroom TV. In general the TV selections were limited and at least in the gym, nothing available under the Shore Excursion channel at all, which is always fun to watch and make the time go faster in the gym! J
Altogether a great vacation and cruise! Less

We typically do not get off in Nassau as too many ships and too many people. Had a great time this day ON the ship doing ropes course, slides, etc while no one was on board.

Articles about reggae music, reviews, interviews, reports and more...
Woody-voiced ex-Gladiator Clinton Fearon's superb 2010 album 'Mi Deh Yah' (I'm here) was a high point in his solo career and told us unflinchingly what makes him tick. It would have been hard to follow such a definitive statement about his present so now the Seattle-based veteran has turned back to the past with an acoustic set of songs he wrote while in the Gladiators.
Unlike his 2005 unplugged longplayer, the aptly titled 'Me An Mi Guitar', 'Heart and Soul' utilises fulsome acoustic arrangements (all played by Fearon himself) involving guitar, percussion and a Taylor bass - whose big resonating chamber gives a deep boom that recalls the rhumba box of the mento era. In a way, this entire record is reminiscent of the final mento fusion recordings of the late Stanley Beckford, creating a more organic sound in Jamaican music than is usually possible. Clinton's engineer of choice Mel Detmer, who has been with him on an unbroken string of top notch grown up roots albums since 2004's 'Give and Take', remains at the controls.
Fearon's songwriting style values plain speaking rather than the proverbial words of his erstwhile colleague Albert Griffiths. The vocals are very clear against this backdrop and his messages and melodies have ample room to breathe.
The most well known song is the great Gladiators anthem Chatty Chatty Mouth: written about the politician Dudley Thompson, featuring a call and response between guitars and percussion that Fearon says he learned under Lee Scratch Perry. But the majority are compositions beloved of hardcore Gladiators fans such as Marvel Not from second Virgin album 'Proverbial Reggae' and Follow The Rainbow from another later, Prince Tony produced LP, 1982's 'Babylon Street'. Its lyrics could almost be viewed as a prediction of Clinton's decision to follow his own path to Seattle, where the sun shines through the rain.
This is a far less immediate album than 'Mi Deh Yah', but that is no bad thing. These songs, recast in an even more bucolic form than we expect from the rural-reggae master, take root in the mind like a slow growing, strong-willed tree.

2011 World Orchid Conference
It seems barely yesterday that the 20th World Orchid Conference (WOC) was under way. Actually, it is 11 months ago as this article is written. It took up to eight years of preparation, from the submission of a written proposal and the site visit by the WOC Trustees, and it will take a little longer before a final account is presented in the shape of the Proceedings of the Conference. The Proceedings will be a more comprehensive account: this brief article cannot be more than a sketch, in which, in the interim, I would like to briefly summarise some impressions of this event. The previous Singapore WOC, help in 1963, transformed the local orchid scene. Will this latest WOC do likewise? I am unsure, but hop it may. The Malayan Orchid Review (MOR) is, after all, the journal of the Orchid Society of South-East Asia (OSSEA). So I also want to five some report of the contribution of OSSEA to the show, in the form of its Gold Medal-winning display and the plants therein; an, of course, to illustrate the whole thing and thus evoke pleasant memories of the event.

TheWorldsDresser's review of MAC Mineralize Skinfinish - So Ceylon ] [DISCONTINUED]
117 reviews
86% would repurchase
Package Quality: 4.2
Price: $$$
Package Quality: 4.2
Price: $$$
Age: 25-29
Skin: Oily, Dark, Not Sure
Hair: Other, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
*PIC ATTACHED* So Ceylon is a new mac classic - the kind that you buy in multipe and STILL wait for the repromote. A quick warning before I continue - if you've not tried one of those before, be advised that these can break out sensitive skins.
So Ceylon is a must have color for anyone NC30 or higher. For those around the NC30ish range it provides a deep sultry flush and for those in the NC50ish family it provides an all over face glow. I use it on top of my (completey mattifying) powder foundation to bring a bit of life back to my face.
If you aren't sure if you want this...if you're on the fence....get it now, just in case. I've seen So Ceylon sell for as high as $60, it's THAT good. It's so much better to get it now and take it back in a month, then want it in a month and not be able to get it.

Every fall brings something new to Oberlin. New attitudes, ambitions, resolutions, confidence levels, and wardrobes; new and infuriatingly inconvenient construction and renovations; a new slew of wide-eyed first-years; new friends who are actually old friends who have been irremediably effected by studying abroad; new problems with ResEd that are actually just the same problems that you would think they could have solved by now; well-kept girls strutting into Stevie in new OC Cheer uniforms; new classes and professors; new… wait, what? Cheerleading uniforms? As in, like, sports cheerleading?
Yes. Sports cheerleading. It may not be hip, it may not be popular, hell, it may not even be in demand – but nevertheless, a few spirited souls have been working seven days a week this fall semester to invigorate interest in Oberlin's athletics programs in the most tried-and-true American way: by looking cute and making a lot of noise.
Alexa Wright '14 and Kaley Diamond '12 both had a gripe with Oberlin College when they began their enrollment here. Diamond, who had never cheered before Oberlin, used to express to her parents her discontent with the lack of a cheerleading squad, and the consequent lack of school spirit. Her parents suggested she start her own squad, but Diamond, an avid dancer, instead found comfort in the hip-hop dance crew And What!?, and let the cheer dream take a nap.
Towards the end of her junior year, that dream was shaken awake when she met Wright, an ambitious first-year who wasn't okay with the perfunctory, disheartened "Yeo baby, Yeo baby, Yeo" being the best chant this campus has to offer. A gymnast as a child and a cheerleader in high school, Wright saw the absence of a cheerleading squad and knew she had the history and capabilities to fill that void. Teaming up last March, Wright and Diamond began an incredibly painless and supported journey to revise and revive the Oberlin College Cheerleading Club charter and return spirit to the forefront of Oberlin athletics.
In 2006, a cheerleader very publicly fell from atop a pyramid at a football game, initiating the demise of Oberlin's Cheerleading Club. That injury prompted the school to restrict the club's activities, prohibiting stunting and tumbling (which are unequivocally the coolest things about cheerleading), after which participation simply fizzled out. The club's charter, however, was still intact when Wright and Diamond decided to bring OC Cheer back to life.
Under the advisory of Lori Morgan Flood, director of Wellness and Health Promotion, Wright and Diamond revised the charter to meet the College's liability concerns, limiting the squad to cheering, dancing, and jumping. Once the charter was accepted, they began advertising for tryouts last spring. The tryout process yielded a team of twelve women (two of whom are abroad and plan to cheer in the spring—talk about dedication), only half of who have any experience cheering.
After the squad was formed, Wright and Diamond delved into their severely limited funds to purchase those cutesy yet durable uniforms that you may have seen around campus. Marking initial success, OC Cheer was active at Oberlin's first football game on September 3.
The football team routed Kenyon 42-0, and although nobody ran over to kiss his cheerleader girlfriend on the sidelines during a timeout, it's probably fair to say all the guys were trying to show off for the ladies by rubbing Kenyon's face in it.
"The football team loves [the squad]," says Wright, who has fielded compliments from players and parents alike, as well as some alumni who have been somewhat creepily in contact via Facebook. "[The parents] are really happy with us because they don't see a lot of student participation at the games," she notes, aware that the mere presence of a cheerleading squad lends legitimacy and a certain degree of spirit to the athletic program.
Speaking of her experience at the first game, Diamond remarks, "I seriously almost cried because their parents were so sweet, like, 'Oh, come take a picture with Grandma!'" The OC football community has been thrilled with the cheer presence – an encouraging sign for the future of the cheerleading club.
Despite early semester successes, Wright, Diamond, and the squad still face challenges for the future. Funding, as for most campus clubs, is still a major issue, and Wright and Diamond understand the cost of achieving their goals. They hope to one day begin traveling with teams for away games, and overcome the ban on stunting and tumbling. Fundraising has become a key component to the club, not only for monetary gain but also to demonstrate their responsibility and dedication to restoring OC Cheer to its pre-2006 glory days. They held a car wash at the beginning of the semester (a la Bring It On) and plan on booking 'Sco nights throughout the school year. Although they missed an opportunity to organize a Homecoming dance, Wright and Diamond are eager to sponsor a campus-wide formal, which no doubt scores of hipsters and nerds will adamantly refer to as a Yule Ball.
Wright and Diamond hope to get the student body involved in other ways as well. As they are still recycling cheers from high school, the squad is looking for new, Yeomen-specific ideas. Although they are "still mastering [their] first set of cheers," Wright and Diamond aim to hold a cheer writing contest in the near future. By reaching out to the student body and fully engaging in the athletics department, OC Cheer may be the first step to building a competent fan-base that isn't outnumbered in its home stadiums.
Wright, Diamond, and the rest of the Oberlin Cheerleading Club will be attending as many games and matches as they can this year. They encourage athletes to invite them to events so they may spread the cheer love across programs and build interest in different teams. If you happen to see them at a game, say hi, ask about the program, and suggest a cheer if you know one. Alexa insists, "This is totally a cheerocracy."
OC Cheer will be present at Savage Stadium this Saturday at 1 PM for the Homecoming
game against Hiram College.

State Crime and Court Roundup: Father of three young boys killed in house fire under arrest
ARGYLE - The father of three young boys killed in a house fire in Argyle on Friday is under arrest for starting the blaze - and an uncle of the boys is also in custody.
The state Justice Department said yesterday that the father, 32-year-old Armin Wand III, and 18-year-old Jeremy Wand face possible charges of arson with intent to defraud. Both are in the Lafayette County Jail awaiting court action - and both are from Argyle, which is about 30 miles southwest of Madison. Dana Brueck of the Justice Department said what led to the arrests would not be disclosed until prosecutors file their case in court.
The blaze started just after three on Friday morning, and it killed brothers Allen Wand, age 7 - five-year-old Jeffrey, and three-year-old Joseph. Their 27-year-old mother Sharon was hospitalized in critical condition at last word at UW Hospital in Madison. Her sister, Amy Peterson, told WKOW-TV in Madison that Sharon is four months' pregnant. The mother also handed a two-year-old daughter to safety. The girl was treated-and-released from a hospital along with Armin Wand. Armin - one of the arson suspects - told WKOW on Saturday that he tried to fight the blaze, but he realized it was too big to handle by himself. He said his wife couldn't get to a phone to call 911, so he ran outside to get help. A resident who lives about 100 yards away told the Wisconsin State Journal he was awakened by the father's screams on Friday morning. The paper also said Armin was convicted in 2003 of violating a restraining order in a child abuse case - and he has a number of small claims and forfeitures against him. State and local authorities continue to investigate the blaze.
Oak Creek Police say they'll release a video this afternoon which could show how Sikh Temple gunman Wade Michael Page died. The video was made from a dashboard camera on an Oak Creek squad car - and number of news organizations have asked that the video be released. The F-B-I has said there's a video which showed officer Sam Lenda hitting the 40-year-old Page with a remarkable shot from 75-feet away. But police say they won't release especially graphic video, and it's not clear whether Lenda's gunshot will be among the material released today. The F-B-I said Page would have died from Lenda's gunshot, but he ended up killing himself with a final gunshot to the head. Six worshippers were killed and four people were wounded in the Sikh Temple shootings on August fifth.
Prosecutors could file charges today against a 20-year-old man suspected of killing the mother of his child. An autopsy revealed that 18-year-old Maisie McCullough of Marshfield had her neck slashed, and she was stabbed once in the back. McCullough was found dead late Friday night at the home she shared with the two-year-old boy and his father on Marshfield's east side. The man turned himself in Saturday, but police are not saying what evidence may have been found. Reports said the two parents had agreed recently to end their relationship - and McCullough was planning to move into her own home, and study for a nursing degree.
