Collins was asked how the Tigers' offense compared to other offenses the Tide has faced and which it was most similar to.
"Texas A&M, if I had to compare them," Collins said. "They have a quick quarterback, running back is dynamic and can get down the field."
Texas A&M and quarterback Johnny Manziel gave Alabama fits for much of their contest and Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall will look to do the same.
Marshall doesn't have to pass as much (180 passing yards a game) because the Tigers' running game has been so successful. On the season, Marshall has rushed for 823 yards.
"They have a real good running game," Alabama's Trey DePriest said. "That's what they do the best. With their running quarterback and him being able to run and throw the ball and it's an option off everything, a chance to run or throw it off every play, so it's going to be tough to stop."
Yeldon, Drake improve
Alabama sophomore running backs T.J. Yeldon and Kenyan Drake have steadily improved throughout the season. Both have had a few untimely turnovers, but have also given the Tide a consistent ground game.
Both have also garnered respect from their quarterback.
Yeldon has rushed for 1,022 yards and 12 touchdowns. He averages 102.2 yards a game and 6.2 yards a carry.
"He understands the offense," Tide quarterback AJ McCarron said. "He understands his role a little bit better and what we expect out of him day in and day out. I think that's the biggest thing. He was a young guy last year. He's more understanding of role, which helps us as an offense."
Drake has racked up 661 yards and eight touchdowns. Drake averages 7.5 yards a touch.
"It's helped a bunch just because it's another guy to come in and help not only the running attack but in the passing game at the same time," McCarron said. "He's getting better in pass protection, so that's helped us out a bunch."
Injury update
Left guard Arie Kouandjio returned to practice Tuesday after taking an extra day to rest his twisted ankle. Kouandjio went through drills and showed no signs of being limited during the media's viewing period.
Right guard Anthony Steen said Kouandjio took a break every three or four snaps and was spelled by fifth-year senior Kellen Williams. Williams filled in for Kouandjio when he went down in the second quarter of last weekend's game.

Hi all,
Newbie alert - sorry!
I am currently stuck on something that seems simple, but I cannot get it to work - it's about coordinating between multiple CS apps.
I want to cause one Creative Suite app (e.g. Photoshop) open a certain document (say a JPEG file) while running a CS Extension running in another Creative Suite app (e.g. Illustrator).
I first naively assumed I could just use the app property of the Photoshop class (i.e. 'com.adobe.csawlib.photoshop.Photoshop.app') from an extension hosted by Illustrator, but I am not having much luck. One possible cause is that Photoshop is not necessarily running. When I try to refer to Photoshop.app while 'inside' an Illustrator extension, I do get an object back, but it's full of nulls and empty member variables - it's not properly instantiated, and as soon as I try to refer to something 'in' it (e.g. Photoshop.app.open(...)), a null exception is being thrown.
I've tried pre-launching Photoshop manually, but that does not seem to help, and any which way, I want to automatically launch Photoshop if it has not been launched yet.
The next thing I tried was to use an embedded ExtendScript - when one is using ExtendScript, it's fairly simple to talk to other apps in the Creative Suite. There are objects called 'photoshop', 'illustrator' and so on, and there is BridgeTalk.
But when I call my ExtendScript from within ActionScript using the HostObject, it looks like I am missing all of the normal 'infrastructure' I've grown to expect when running ExtendScript. I suspect it's because I am in a separate engine that does not have the stuff I want to access.
Then I tried to force things - I noticed the sample code that runs an ExtendScript in ActionScript has a phrase:
var myBridgeScript : HostObject = HostObject.getRoot(HostObject.extensions[0]);
and HostObject.extensions[0] is something like 'com.adobe.illustrator'. So I tried other strings here (e.g. running inside Illustrator, I tried 'com.adobe.photoshop') - no luck. Got a null in myBridgeScript.
I looked at the CSXSEvents - but as far as I understand those would only help me when Photoshop is already running - Bob Stucky's cookbook article
http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Inter_Application_Communication_with_t he_Creative-18456.html
ends with: 'Possible extensions would be to launch Photoshop, if necessary, using Air's NativeProcess'. That sounds like bad news, and seems to indicate I'd have to go search for the Photoshop app path the hard way (keeping in mind that some people install their Creative Suite in odd places, so it's not always in '/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CSsomething' or 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CSsomething').
Now, I can go do this the complicated way (calling down to the underlying operating system, try to find the correct Photoshop app (there might be more than one), and launch the document through the OS) - but I was really expecting there would be a simple magical trick to do it in a much more direct manner - it's clear the Creative Suite apps know about each other, so I was hoping to find a way to rely on their internal smarts to launch documents from one CS app into another CS app.
Any ideas?
Any ideas?
Hi Kris!
Yeah. Wait for Vulcan in CS Next... (sorry I couldn't resist...)
I first naively assumed I could just use the app property of the Photoshop class (i.e. 'com.adobe.csawlib.photoshop.Photoshop.app') from an extension hosted by Illustrator, but I am not having much luck...
I'd expect that. The CSAW libs are basically all smoke and mirrors. If you can't do it using ExtendScript, you can't do it in ActionScript. One app does not know another app's DOM...
The way I'd handle it would probably be using Bridgetalk on the ExtendScript side of things with a (double) callback going back to the ActionScript side of things once the Bridgetalk returns its results to the ExtendScript layer.
We should probably get together to solve this problem for the long-term...
On second thought, you probably do not need the callbacks.
You can do it using two (or rather three) separate ExtendScript-driven Bridgetalk (or non-BridgeTalk) scripts:
Something like this should launch Photoshop and tell you its status:
function launchPhotoshop(){
var status = BridgeTalk.getStatus("photoshop");
case "IDLE":
case "BUSY":
case "PUMPING":
return status;
return status;
You just need to keep polling until Photoshop is accessible. Once Photoshop is accessible, run another Bridgetalk script...
It looks like there's a csawlib wrapper for BridgeTalk as well, so you can probably skip the ExtendScript if you are so inclined:
http://127.0.0.1:60484/help/topic/com.adobe.cside.docs/references/csaw lib/com/adobe/csawlib/misc/BridgeTalk.html
Hi Guys,
BridgeTalk doesn't work in the AS enviroment. You can send a BT message, it will get to the target and will execute; however, callbacks simply don't happen. Also- if you are in AS, and call though to ES, callbacks still don't work. You can use BT to launch a target app, so long as you're in a CS host app environment. From Air you'd need to use NativeProcess.
Once started, again, so long as you are in a CS host app, CSXSEvents would be the way to go. (the article you reference, Kris, is for talking between say an Air app and Photoshop).
Here's a recipe for using CSXSEvents between host apps. It's not exactly what you want, but definitely shows you how to go about it.
http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Synchronizing_Extension_Data_Models_be tween_CS_App-19196.html
Bob Stucky wrote:

Yup. That's why I said to do it from ExtendScript.
I find that I do an awful lot of ExtendScripting in my extensions...
My sample should work as is because it doesn't rely on callbacks.
If I'm not mistaken, using CSXSEvents would require a corresponding extension in the other app to handle the event. No? That's pretty ugly, and a lot of coding overhead...
Personally, to run simple tasks in another app, I'd probably stick to BridgTalk via ExtendScript rather than play with CSXSEvents, but, to each their own...
Hi Bob and Harbs,
Great info, and it would be a solution for my use case - thanks so much! For now, I've put it into the 'to revisit later' basket - I have more important issues to fix first.
Thanks so much!

There are two versions of Thomas Robert Malthus's Essay on the Principle of Population. The first, published anonymously in 1798, was so successful that Malthus soon elaborated on it under his real name. The rewrite, culminating in the sixth edition of 1826, was a scholarly expansion and generalization of the first. In this work Malthus argues that there is a disparity between the rate of growth of population (which increases geometrically) and the rate of growth of agriculture (which increases only arithmetically). He then explores how populations have historically been kept in check.

The Death of Windows XP
Microsoft has now ended its support for Windows XP, which means that a security sinkhole will likely open and gradually widen, threatening hundreds of millions of PCs worldwide in homes, companies, government agencies and schools. Along with the Y2K bug, Windows XP's support termination is one of the computer industry's most publicised -- and most ignored -- deadlines, towards which many business and IT managers have taken a curiously casual attitude. The implications could be dire for those organizations that continue to use Windows XP, a decrepit operating system Microsoft.

Denmark and the United StatesCampbell, John L.; Pedersen, Ove K. (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Despite high taxes, a large state budget and welfare state, much economic regulation, and a very open economy, Denmark continues to compete successfully against the other advanced capitalist economies. Hence, Denmark presents a paradox for neoliberalism, which predicts that these policies will hurt national competitiveness under conditions of economic globalization. Following the varieties of capitalism literature, this paper argues that Denmark's success has been based in large part on its institutional competitiveness–its capacity to achieve socioeconomic success as a result of the competitive advantages that firms derive from operating within a particular set of political and economic institutions. The institutional basis for successfully coordinating labor markets, vocational training and skill formation programs, and industrial policy are examined for Denmark and the United States—two countries that are very different institutionally. The analysis shows that there is no one best way to achieve success in today's global economy, except perhaps for reducing socioeconomic inequality; that the type of capitalism known as coordinated market economies are oversimplified in the literature; and that high taxes, state spending, and economic regulation can actually enhance socioeconomic performance.

Campbell, John L.; Pedersen, Ove K. (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Comparative political economy has been dominated since the 1970s by two waves of research. The first one examined how different types of policy-making regimes affect policy making and, in turn, national economic competitiveness (e.g., Katzenstein 1978). The second one studied how different types of production regimes affect national competitiveness (e.g., Hall and Soskice 2001). Absent from all of this is much discussion about knowledge regimes. Knowledge regimes are sets of actors, organizations, and institutions that produce and disseminate policy ideas that affect how policy-making and production regimes are organized and operate in the first place. Knowledge regimes are important because they contribute data, research, theories, policy recommendations, and other ideas that influence public policy and, thus, national economic competitiveness (Baab 2001; Campbell 1998; Pedersen 2006).

Denmark in the Global EconomyCampbell, John L.; Pedersen, Ove K. (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Proponents of the varieties of capitalism literature maintain that capitalist countries whose institutions best fit either the liberal market economy or coordinated market economy types will perform the best. Countries whose institutions are more mixed will perform less well. This paper challenges that assertion by focusing on Denmark—a country that has performed at least as well as many other advanced capitalist countries during the 1990s, including those that fit much more closely either the pure CME or LME types. Denmark has recently developed a more hybrid form than is generally recognized. The dynamic interaction of elements found in both liberal and coordinated types of capitalism have contributed to its success. This is demonstrated by analyses of the institutions that coordinate Danish labor markets, vocational training, and industrial policy. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7351

While there has been a great deal of research on microwave drying of aggregate samples, there's interest in a new drying process. InstroTek (www.instrokek.com), a Raleigh, N.C., material testing equipment manufacturer, has developed a device that vacuum dries aggregate samples. The CoreDry unit is portable, compact, and can easily be set up to fit in tight on-site applications.
The device combines a new vacuum technology with electronic desiccation. Samples are cycled through flows of ambient air and vacuum processing. As water is attracted to the sample's surface, the chamber's lower pressure causes the water to quickly evaporate at room temperature. At the end of each vacuum cycle, any moisture removed is captured in an electronic trap for weighing
The CoreDry device can dry samples of up to 600 grams, using a specially fabricated aggregate container. Sample weights of 400-500 grams are ideal for quick aggregate moisture determinations. "For fine aggregates, if very quick results are required, the sample size can be reduced to 150-250 grams," says Emil Albouyeh, one of the device's developers.
Using this moisture extraction system, the CoreDry will dry samples at a rate of 1.5 grams of water per minute. An aggregate sample that contains 10 grams of water will take about 15 minutes.
Albouyeh has compared test data from the vacuum drying process to conventional oven drying. The vacuum drying time of both aggregate and sand are slightly faster than oven drying because oven drying of sand and aggregate uses high temperatures.
Several DOTs are currently testing the vacuum technology to test for aggregate and soil moisture content. Currently, a standard is under review by an ASTM committee and should be completed soon. However, the use of the machine is permitted as most current standards specify drying the samples to constant weight, which can be accomplished with the testing device.
The unit was specifically developed for quick drying of construction materials. But the vacuum drying process is very versatile. "We are working with the labs that test the moisture content of wood chips for pulp and paper manufacturers and from agronomists who want to determine moisture content of seeds," says Albouyeh.

December 28, 2012
Organizers of First Night Virginia are prepping the place where hundreds of people will spend the last few seconds of 2012.
Last year, the alternative New Year's Eve celebration featured a laser show at the nTelos Wireless Pavilion. This year, you'll have to head to the opposite end of the Downtown Mall if you want to count down to midnight with the crowd.
Crews are working to transform the ice rink at Main Street Area into one big dance floor.
"It's going to be sort of a 70's disco," said Brett Cassis of All Stage & Sound, Inc. "It's going to have the disco balls, lights and it's going to be a fun disco party."
Cassis one of the people working to prep the rink for Monday's event. He said crews were decorating the large space with balloons late into the evening Thursday. Some of those balloon will be released onto the dance floor as the disco ball drops at midnight.
Cassis said organizers are expecting about 1,800 to celebrate inside Main Street Arena, where band Groove Train will perform for the crowd.
Many more will be outside the arena where organizers plan to have a large screen airing the ball drop in Times Square in New York City.

This contender for Portland's longest brunch line serves an outstanding burger and chicken & waffles. Bring 5 friends and make a reservation to skip the wait!
Best known for its lines, I mean, its epic fried chicken, this beloved Burnside brunch destination also makes fantastic waffles—big golden yeasty slabs the size of hub caps, topped with slabs of bacon (aka the praline bacon waffle) and lots of whipped cream.
Amazing southern comfort food. I recommend their crispy fried buttermilk-battered chicken and their token mac and cheese. I am from OK so naturally this was amazing.
The reviews the wife and I read had us all a drooling at the door, but inside things were a little different. The service was pretty efficent even though they were plowing threw a packed resturant. We had the screendoor special, the Catfish was very tasty as was red beans and rice. The pork chops were a little dry and the gumbo and jambalyia were sad sides better left alone. We did not try the chicken, but it looked quite tasty. The shrip and grits were a hit as well. My advice if you go, get your appitizers early as it's likely to be a long wait till you get your entrees. I hope the food gets a little better, but I think we will try screendoor again.
Long waits unless you are there before it opens. Great chicken n waffles... Couldn't finish it. Worth a trip.
I thankfully didn't get the chicken and waffles because it was WAY over the top too much food for one person, though it looked delicious. I ended up getting a trio of side dishes and that was more than enough. The wait, even fairly early in the morning was still a half hour, that's how good their food is. Atmosphere couldn't be any quainter. Service friendly...but busy!
love this place! good food
Great food. Good service. It would be nice if they could better manage their clientele to have more realistic wait times. Often, the lines are so long that it's a deterrent to eat there.
We like Screen Door. Lots of reviews here to the contrary.
The staff are .... nondescript. Not rude, not welcoming. The wait, usually long, 30 min to an hour.
While the food isn't reminiscent of YOUR MOM'S southern cookin, it is Southern compared to Oregon cooking and we've always been very pleased with the food, the drinks, and the staff, and if not raining, we are more than willing to wait the 60 min to get a table or to sit at the counter.
We will always eat at Screen Door when we have the time :)
1 star would be generous.
These people are dirt bags. I call asking for a reservation. They tell me seating starts at 5.30 no reservation. Be here with your party or you won't be seated. We show up on time, with our COMPLETE party. Turns out they open the doors before 5.30 (thanks for not telling us that), and if you're ahead in line with an incomplete party they'll hold a table indefinitely until they show up... forcing everyone else to wait in their pathetic waiting area. So we were told it was an hour.5 wait with several huge tables empty and unsat when we finally gave up hungry and disappointed.
I don't care how good the food should be if the service is this unreliable walking in the front door. If you want great service and southern food go to Irving St Kitchen in the Pearl.
I just DON'T LIKE RUDE PEOPLE DOESN'T MATTER HOW BUSY !! – This place has to have some of the most rude hostess's I have ever had the experience of speaking to. They are busy busy busy I understand I am a busy person too but that is no excuse to mistreat customers. I can't stand giving my money to people who have no common courtesy. There waiting list is like letting out parolee's its super strict no exceptions you could have been eating there for years and they would still treat you like they are doing you a favor. THIS IS NOT AN EXCLUSIVE NIGHT CLUB IN LA!! It's breakfast in Portland make it enjoyable and if you can't handle the traffic on Burnside open another restaurant or you will have dissatisfied critics like me.
Perfection – My friend who convinced me to move here suggested I go. After waiting almost 45 minutes for a table, we finally sat down. The tables are crowded and noisy but the service was excellent and the food was really good. I would say well worth the wait!
One of my favorite restaurants! – I absolutely love the food at Screen Door! If you are looking for recommendations as to what to order, I can only recommend a few items as they are my absolute favorite and I don't venture away from them at all! Why would I when they are so delicious?
Starters - Hushpuppies & Pimiento Cheese.....so good!
Hot Plate - Crispy Fried Chicken w/Mashed Potatoes & Tasso Ham Gravy (it comes with collard greens but I don't like those so I always give them to my friend who does). I love that the fried chicken is boneless. The gravy is delicious.
Dessert - BAN-OFFEE PIE! If you've never had ban-offee pie and you love banana desserts you should definitely try this! It's really good. I occassionally find myself ordering a slice to go as well.
The only negative that I can say about Screen Door is that you do have to wait in line for a table, as much as I dislike that, I still do it every time I go there. They take reservations for parties of 6 or more which is nice.

Horn blowing must be stopped
One morning this week, I lay awake at 6.15 and listened to 17 horn-blowing exercises for one train. Enough is enough.
Barrie has stopped this, Ajax has stopped it and I believe Richmond Hill has stopped it.
American studies showed a 38-per-cent lower accident rate after stopping: the insurance is an additional risk to an existing policy.
Whatever the cost, the horn blowing should be stopped.
The trains are now heavier, pulled by larger locomotives and the ground trembles for quite a distance at each station — all for our neighbours to the north who have given themselves the gift of peace and quiet.

"We need to get teams of people and get some things done," McCrory said. "People have said that they want to serve and help do things."
A cleanup day is a good way to fulfill those wishes, McCrory explained.
A list is being made of vacant land in need of cleanup, McCrory said, and it's possible volunteers will spend a portion of cleanup day working on those properties.
There will be no need to clean up the recently-renovated J.R. Striplin Park in town, but the council did discuss the need to reduce the cost of lighting the park over the winter. Council members discussed closing the park and cutting off a few of the five pole-mounted lights over the winter.
Councilman Freddie Striplin expressed concern that with darkness coming earlier in the day, turning off the lights may make the park less safe.
McCrory said she understands Striplin's concerns, but said it costs the town about $500 each month in electricity to keep those lights on.
"We're going to have to do something," McCrory said.
McCrory said she will be looking at when neighboring cities will close parks this winter in order to coincide the closing of Hobson City's park.
In other business, the council:
- Agreed to demolish a wall inside the town's old pool house.
- Announced the council will hold a workshop to discuss the town's 2014 fiscal budget at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Town Hall. The next regular meeting will take place Oct. 14 at 6:30 p.m.
- Agreed to no longer rent the Federal Emergency Management Agency building during the winter, except for gatherings already booked. The council voted to open it for rental during the summer except for Saturdays.

Sandy Huffaker - Sports Illustrated, Cover Illustration
During one week at the peak of his career as an illustrator, Sandy Huffaker had assignments from Time, Sports Illustrated and Businessweek. He had to turn down a fourth assignment that week from Newsweek. "I just didn't have time," says the Chattanooga-born artist during a phone interview from his home in tiny Raphine, Va.
The 1970s were the "glory days," Huffaker says, for himself and a stable of talented illustrators whose work routinely found itself on the covers of the nation's premier newsmagazines and in the pages of The New York Times. For the better part of that decade, Huffaker was among an elite breed of commercial artists—his hero and fellow Southerner Jack Davis, the legendary Mad Magazine illustrator, among them—working during a remarkable period when art directors routinely turned to illustration to give comic relief to the country's deeply serious and dark problems. From civil rights and the women's movement to Vietnam and Watergate, the gas crisis and inflation to the rise of Jimmy Carter, Huffaker mined a deep well of material ripe for his brand of visual wit and caustic satire.
"All that work has gone away," Huffaker says, somewhat ruefully. But it was a damn good run and, he says, an era for illustrators that may never come again. It didn't come easy even then, Huffaker admits, but with changes in technology, the turn towards photography and computer graphics, art directors adopted new directions and never looked back. "I doubt any artist could expect that kind of work these days," Huffaker says.
Huffaker's work and style were a culmination of his years spent as an illustrator and political cartoonist for newspapers in the Deep South. Born in 1943 into a staunchly conservative family, Huffaker says he didn't have any political leanings until he escaped Chattanooga after six years of military school at McCallie. His talent and inspiration as a cartoonist until then had been drawn from the sometimes subversive Mad Magazine, but it was his experience as an undergraduate at the University of Alabama that awakened the Liberal lurking within. "My father went to Annapolis (the U.S. Naval Academy)" says Huffaker. "He just didn't understand."
Arriving in Tuscaloosa at the height of the civil rights movement with then-Gov. George Wallace defying the federal government's insistence that Alabama's state-run universities open their doors to Blacks, Huffaker and his future wife witnessed first-hand the raw racism of Wallace and much of the South as the governor's tactics became a national disgrace.
Huffaker had seen enough and his political identity began to emerge, but he found his first real job not far away at The Birmingham News, where he cut his teeth as an illustrator on the newspaper, penning illustrations for the daily paper and its Sunday magazine. After two years, Huffaker was determined to leave the South and pined for the big leagues, bright lights and the promise of fame in New York. He sent his portfolio to Maurice Sendak, the legendary "Where The Wild Things Are" illustrator to guage his prospects, and when Sendak replied, "C'mon up, you'll do all right," Huffaker wasted no time. "I had a wife and two kids," Huffaker recalls. "It was the ballsiest move I ever made."
Timing and talent were on Huffaker's side. The artist scored two book assignments during his first week in New York that helped him survive the initial shock and boosted his name recognition. Other assignments soon followed and Huffaker took his place among the nation's most in-demand illustrators.
But New York was not all glamour. His wife was almost raped and the gritty reality of the city forced him to consider a less volatile environment. At the end of the 1960s, Huffaker joined The Raleigh (N.C.) News & Observer as that paper's first editorial cartoonist. Under Claude Sitton, a former New York Times correspondent, the paper became a government watchdog, earning it the nickname of "The Nuisance and Disturber" from the region's conservative base. But the experience was transforming for Huffaker. During his three years at the paper, Huffaker says he earned the equivalent of a PhD in politics and civil rights.

Managing SQL databases with Knoda
KDE's Knoda provides an intuitive front end for an SQL database. This workshop introduces Knoda and shows how you can use Knoda to simplify common database management tasks.
Many Linux users wish for a simple GUI-based tool that would help them manage their database intuitively. KDE's Knoda program is a good candidate for this role. In this first part of our Knoda workshop, we investigate the basic functions of Knoda. You'll learn how you can use an existing database to create fairly complex queries with just a few mouse clicks. SQL without the Headaches Knoda is a KDE database front-end for the MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite2, and SQLite3 databases. Knoda can also use ODBC drivers to access other database servers. We will focus on SQLite for this workshop. If you would like to work through the examples, you will need the SQLite2 database, musik.db, which is stored in the download area of the Linux Magazine website [1]. The database is a typical playlist-type database as used by the KDE player Amarok for internal management purposes.

An odalisque was a female slave or concubine in an Ottoman seraglio, especially the Imperial Harem of the sultan. The Odalisque became a highly inspiring subject for painters during the 19th century. The motif even contributed to an art movement called Orientalism. This term was used to qualify paintings that depited lifestyle in Middle East. Delacroix is one artist often associated with Orientalism. Henri Matisse visited the French colonies in North Africa (Algeria in 1906 and Morocco in 1912–13) where the brilliant light, exotic environment and Moorish architecture inspired a new body of work. His odalisques have been described by art historian Roger Benjamin as 'elaborate fictions' in which the artist re-created the image of the Islamic harem using French models posed in his Nice apartment. The fabrics, screens, carpets, furnishings and costuming recalled the exoticism of the 'Orient' and provided a theme for Matisse's preoccupation with the figure and elaborate pattern.
What Henri Matisse was looking for was, not only the Mediterranean light, but also another inspiration. As Aragon mentioned: "In Nice, there were people from all over the world, people who brought with them the dust of their own country, their habits and their traditions." From these immigrants, Matisse was offered plenty of models to work from, women that he would not have been able to find somewhere else, women from other parts of the world. The Middle East, Russia, South Mediterranean countries. These women became a symbol in his oeuvre.

It's the holiday season which means that its that time of year that I feel a bit generous (yes, just once a year, live with it). Here's a great way that you can show your generosity by helping a charity in need and getting massive amounts of links for your good deed.
Here's the secret: Give the charity of your choice a page on your web site. The vast majority of work that we do at jozsoft is web development for non-profits. From my experience there are LOTS of small non-profits and local charities that could greatly benefit from a web presence, however lack the funds required to make that presence a reality. If I could I would give away all my services for free to non-profits, but then I would be out of work and never finish with the TONS of them that need web help. Trust me they are out there, just start looking.
Did you say something about links??
Yes, I did. There's no reason that you shouldn't get something out of being such a great guy or girl, right? Here's how the links work: when you add the charity's page to your site you are effectively extending your web presence into their organization. This is extremely powerful because, every member, volunteer, staff person, constituent, and supporter will automatically become your domain advocate and hopefully link builder.
I have done this several times and have seen huge success with each. But there are a few things to keep in mind that work best.
One Page – Why just one? It's allot easier to do just one page and it will be easier to focus link juice to other parts of your site if you have fewer pages. All their information on one page means all links pointing to one place, you get the idea. Many don't care putting all there info on one page when its free.
Linkable Content – Encourage the organization to provide content for the page that people want to tell others about or link to. Examples are: monthly calendars, fund raising messages, information about upcoming events, resources for their members, or even embeddable content like videos or slideshows from different events.
Active Orgs. – Organizations that stay active are the ones that will build the most links, because they are the ones that have the most to talk about. Examples of active groups would be church youth groups, boy and girl scouts, School PTAs, and others.
The Right Org. – Its important to pick an organization that you don't have any fundamental disagreements with, otherwise you might have a problem if you have to remove their page in the future.
PageRank Sculpting – Ok I don't want to advise that everyone does this because it is more on the grayer/black side of SEO. However, if you really want to send the most link juice possible to the rest of your site then at the very least you should include one or two links to your home page on the non-profit's page. This can be done by including a link at the bottom that says something like, "this page is sponsored by jozsoft". Then, "nofollow" the rest of the links except the one to your home page. Only do this in moderation because all of the authenticity that you have just received by helping a charity will be gone if caught.
I hope this is helpful and encourages you to help out a local non-profit or charity this holiday season. Remember, the links are the added bonus, and the better your free service to the charity is, the more links you will receive, people like talking about good things!If you thought this post was half way interesting, you might want to follow @joehall on Twitter. Hes a total nut bag over there, but worth a few laughs.

Joe – this is a super "win win" idea! Put it out on delicious and will talk it up with friends looking to improve SEO results as well! Thanks for the heads up!

Well … very good idea …
Mostly these people will get cheated by some web developers who will charge them half of the danish GDP for a smalle site.
A small wordpress soloution works just fine for these people in many cases – and could be made for only a few links … *LOL*

The NFL Loves James Harrison's Wallet
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
Who likes what more? Does James Harrison like hitting quarterbacks (and other offensive players) more than the NFL likes hitting Harrison's wallet or is it the other way around? Whatever the case, it certainly looks like the two entities have a symbiotic relationship. Harrison provides the NFL with highlight material, and make no mistake about the NFL's hypocrisy when it comes to using hard hits in their promotional materials, and they, in turn, love taking money from Harrison with the same vigor he hits defenseless receivers with.
For the 2010 season, Harrison has already totaled $125,000 worth of fines, all of which came from questionable hits.
His latest fine comes from the hit he laid on Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, a blast that cost Harrison $25 grand. PFT has itemized the others:
[Harrison] previously has been fined $75,000 for a hit on Browns receiver Mohamed Massaquoi, $20,000 for a hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees and $5,000 for a hit on Titans quarterback Vince Young.
The funny thing is how much these fines vary. It also makes me wonder how the NFL determines their punishments. Where, exactly, was the $50,000 difference between the hit on Fitzpatrick and the hit on Massaquoi? Further, I thought repeat offenders were punished more severely if their behavior continues. Judging by the NFL's fine scale for James Harrison, that is apparently false.

Hi Everyone -
I've had a fully working iphone for a while now. I purchased it direct from Apple and unlocked it to work on Unicel here in Vermont. The phone, SMS, and EDGE Network all worked perfectly until 2 days ago when the EDGE (internet) connection stopped working out of the blue. I was checking the weather on the phone, and stock prices and browsing using Safari all day long (as usual) and then all of a sudden it stopped connecting.
I've reset the connection 3 times, restarted the phone many times, and cannot connect.
Wi-Fi works perfectly fine.
Unicel says there is no outage on the network, but I know that they must have made an intentional change to stop the iphone from connecting.
What do I do?

Chicago Greets Obama to say, No KXL!
Six years ago, fighting for what I believed in meant knocking on doors in the cold to help a freshman senator named Barack Obama become President.
Yesterday, it meant standing shoulder-to-shoulder with a fired-up crowd of activists to demand that President Obama keep his word on climate change. Building the Keystone XL pipeline would mean breaking his promise to slow the rise of the oceans – a promise that kept a lot of us going through the late nights and long hours it took to get him where he is.

CD/LP/Track Review
Steely Dan: Two Against Nature
Becker plays nearly all the lead guitar, which is a switch. He's masterful with brief, tasty fills, but leaves one hungering for Larry Carlton or Steve Khan. On the other hand, Chris Potter blows substantial tenor on "Gaslighting Abbie" and "West of Hollywood," and his alto spot on "Janie Runaway" nearly redeems the song. Vinnie Colaiuta plays drums on the odd-but-good "Negative Girl." Trumpeter Michael Leonhart and vibraphonist Dave Schenk squeeze highly effective eight-bar solos into "Almost Gothic" and "Negative Girl," respectively. And studio guitar wizards Hugh McCracken and Dean Parks rear their heads on a track apiece.
By the standards of their previous work, Two Against Nature isn't a great Steely Dan album. But as long as they've still got the urge, more power to them.

Maybe. There might also be at least a slim chance that in the absence of a conspiracy, a former athlete from that 2002 team returned after quite a while to be coached by Bev recently, and that maybe something happened during their latest coach-athlete association that made the athlete choose to reveal details of the past relationship, or threaten to go public. Stranger things have happened, so I'm not ready to accept the conspiracy theory as having the highest probability of explaining the situation just yet, although I won't rule it out either.

I worked at Wayfair as a contractor for less than a year
Pros – -Outstanding/extensive benefits package (3.2 weeks PTO, health/dental/vision, sox/bruins/celtics tickets, discount movie tickets, free snacks, yearly bonus...)
-Great work/life balance
-Transparent work environment. Directors, VPs and Co-Founders are easy to talk to and provide insight and guidance.
-Casual dress code. Jeans/t-shirts and shorts in the summer.
-Great office space (right near the Pru) and easy to get to from MBTA.
-Getting to work with some of the brightest minds in Boston.
-Fun culture that promotes creativity and growth.
Cons – -Salaries can be a little low on the business side but that's something senior management is aware of and working to fix.
Advice to Senior Management – Continue to hire top talent and keep your employees happy. The market in Boston is extremely competitive (especially in software) and the last thing you want is to lose talent to competing companies.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Karen Todd, Sparks customer service coordinator, said the project that began last year on the 164,000-square-foot plaza is "huge in our redevelopment area." She also said it is also the largest renovation work to be done on the center since 1973. Paradise Plaza was originally built in 1968.
The existing shopping center, located at Oddie Boulevard, El Rancho Drive and Sullivan Lane, was acquired by Primestor, based in Beverly Hills, in 2005. They began with a remediation process at an old gas station on the southeast corner of Oddie and El Rancho. Construction on a Walgreens has begun at that site.
Various elements of the redevelopment have been approved or issued, including the site improvement plan, a façade renovation permit, a Starbucks renovation permit for the interior of the store, building permits for the Walgreens and two outlying paths.
As part of the façade renovation, buildings will incorporate the earth tone colors of existing businesses with deep greens and yellows and new signage will be added.
Todd said an advantage of the project to the City of Sparks is that Primestor is not seeking redevelopment funding; the company is providing the funding itself.
"There's not much over there," Todd said. "To have a Kmart is big for the people who live there. My guess is it's more of a neighborhood commercial area as opposed to a regional center, but it's certainly an important piece of property, and it's an important center for Sparks and one we want to see grow and flourish."
In addition to the Walgreens drug store, two building pads and a drive-through ATM adjacent to the existing Wells Fargo are part of the plans.
New buildings included in the expansion will connect to the present shopping center and parking areas will be accessible through pedestrian walkways.
Paradise Plaza is 15 1/2 acres and includes the Paradise Plaza Center, the anchor store Kmart, Wells Fargo Bank, Jack in the Box, H&R Block, Payless ShoeSource and Dollar Tree.
Primestor Development specializes in building neighborhood and community centers in under-retailed communities, including Los Angeles and Chicago.
"Since we acquired Paradise Plaza, we have been working diligently with the City of Sparks to create a development that would serve ... and as a gathering place for the community," said Arturo Sneider, a partner at Primestor. "The end result will be a center that will become the heart of Sparks."

Pumpkin Patch Wreath
- Summary
A trip to the pumpkin patch is a favorite fall pursuit, one that is perfectly captured in this handmade wreath from a coastal California farm. Realistic-looking faux miniature pumpkins are arranged on a bed of sphagnum moss, creating a field of autumn color to enjoy at home. A rustic burlap ribbon provides the finishing touch. The wreath makes a festive seasonal gift. Protect from weather. 16" diam. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.
- Use & Care
- Upon receipt, cut the cable ties from the bottom of the box and carefully remove the wreath or garland from the box.
- The natural materials used in these pieces are intended for display indoors only. Avoid moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat, which will cause them to fade in color and become fragile.
- If your wreath is mounted on an interior door, we recommend attaching it in two places to prevent it from bouncing against the door when the door is opened or closed.
- It is normal for natural materials to shed. The extra fullness of our wreath is intended to compensate for any unavoidable shedding during shipping. To minimize shedding, it is best to not move it once it has been hung.

Latigo Leather Dog Collar (Black)
Exclusive to KM, this dog collar was made by a craftsman who apprenticed in traditional saddle and harness making and has over 40 years of experience in leatherworking. He cuts and finishes each piece by hand. These leashes are made from latigo leather that is vegetable tanned, a millenia-old process that uses the tannins derived from the bark, nuts, leaves, and wood of trees such as oak or chestnut to soften and preserve animal hides. It has significantly less environmental impact than the modern, more conventional process of chromium tanning, and produces sturdy, durable leather that develops a handsome patina over time. Latigo is a very strong harness leather with no impregnated toxins or heavy metals to come into contact with your dog.
The black leather collar fastens with stainless steel hardware, the brown leather with solid brass. Each collar is hand stamped with the maker's mark. Collar measurements are from end to end; the 3/4-inch width works best on dogs with a neck circumference of 13 to 18 inches, the 1-inch, 19 to 24 inches.
Use & Care
To keep the leather supple and nourished, rub in a protective leather conditioner once a year. You can also use a bit of the leather conditioner and a soft cloth to clean off surface dirt.
Production & Design
Dennis began working with leather straight out of high school in 1971 when he got an apprenticeship in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, making saddles and harnesses using traditional methods. After a few years, he operated his own store in a Civil War-era village in Ohio. In 2003, he opened River Ridge Leather in Ohio's historic Roscoe Village.
He buys sides of steers that are vegetable tanned and uses a knife called a strap cutter to cut each piece by hand. With a beveller, he takes the corners off the edges, finishes them with edge coat, and then burnishes them by compressing them.

Book talk with Dan Fleshler, author of "Transforming Americas Israel Lobby: the Limits of Its Power and the Potential for Change."
Dan Fleshler is a media and public affairs strategist based in New York whose recent book, Transforming America's Israel Lobby: the Limits of Its Power and the Potential for Change, offers insight into the shifts taking place in the pro-Israel American Jewish community, including growing dissent against what he calls the "conventional Israel lobby." Former Ambassador to Israel Samuel Lewis has written that Fleshler's book "dispels many myths while facing squarely some perennial dilemmas faced by peace-seeking American Jews, and outlines a pro-peace, pro-Israeli, pro Palestinian and pro-American road forward for them to take." Mr. Fleshler's blog, www.RealisticDove.org, is what he calls "candid, constructive commentary on Israel, the Arab-Israeli conflict, America's Middle East policies and their domestic political context."

Chemistry was one of the things that sold Leon Gilmore on Creighton during his recruiting visit to Omaha late last month.
Not the department. Instead, it was the relationship among the players that Gilmore valued.
"I was around those guys 24-7 when I was there,'' Gilmore said. "I hung out with them and saw how they lived. I ate with them. I didn't have one recruiting host because those guys all hung out together all the time.
"I feel like I have a good relationship with the guys on the team already.''
Gilmore, a 6-foot-7 wing player from Manvel, Texas, became the first commitment of Creighton's 2014 recruiting class on Monday.
Rivals.com lists Gilmore 121st on its list of the top 150 prospects. The recruiting website has him as a three-star player, as does Scout.com.
Gilmore reportedly had offers from Creighton, Houston, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas Christian, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Nevada-Las Vegas. The Bluejays, Houston and Texas Tech were his finalists, and he picked Creighton after returning from a weekend visit to Texas Tech.
"I thought about it a lot last night and this morning, and just decided Creighton would be the best place for me,'' Gilmore said. "I had wanted to make the decision earlier, but I knew I had to wait until I visited Texas Tech.
"It feels good to have it behind me now.''
Gilmore averaged 13.7 points and 6.6 rebounds last season in helping Manvel tie a school record with 30 victories. It was his first season at Manvel, as he had attended Hightower High School in Missouri City, Texas, as a freshman and sophomore. Manvel and Missouri City are suburbs of Houston.
Manvel coach Greg Devers said Gilmore displayed a diversified offensive game last season.
"He runs the lanes well and finishes, and he can really put on a show with his dunks,'' Devers said. "He's a slasher that can get to the basket, but he also has a long-range 3-point shot.
"He was also an above-average defender for us. He'd get out and guard guys that were smaller than him. He's got a motor that goes all day. He doesn't get tired easily. Because he plays with so much energy, he sometimes will make a mistake, but he'll turn around and make five opportunities for us.''
Gilmore led Manvel in assists at 4.2 per game and in steals with 2.0 per game. He earned all-district honors as a junior.
"If he has a weak point to his game, it's probably his mid-range jumper mainly because he doesn't have to rely on it,'' Devers said. "He can take most defenders to the hole or post up and score on them that way.
"He's also shot a lot of pull-up 3s for us, so he probably struggles with that shot from the baseline or the elbow more than anything else. But hopefully, that's something he'll be able to work on before he gets up there.''
In addition to forming a solid relationship with CU's players, Gilmore said he got along well with Creighton's coaching staff.
"I feel they'll work with me to get me to where I want to go, and that's the next level,'' Gilmore said. "Also, playing in front of 17,000 fans didn't sound too bad to me.''
Nor did it hurt that the Bluejays have made the jump to the new Big East.
"There are a lot of good teams and players in the Big East,'' he said. "I wanted the chance to play against top teams, and I'll get it there.''
Gilmore said the Creighton coaches told him he will likely play the small forward-big guard spot in the Bluejays' lineup. And with Creighton set to lose three of its five starters from this season's team, Gilmore should get a chance to play from the get-go.
"They told me if I come in and put in the work,'' Gilmore said, "that I could have a chance to start right away.''
In addition to having a high-energy level, Devers said, Gilmore is extremely competitive.
"He's a hard worker, and when we have a game against another high-profile opponent, he's really focused,'' Devers said. "When practice is over, he's going to be the prankster and the jokester in the locker room.
"I don't think Leon has ever met a kid he doesn't like, and he treats everyone the same. He's a guy that likes to have fun, but he definitely knows when it's time to get serious.''
