In an article entitled "Suddenly There's a Meadow in the Ocean with 'Flowers' Everywhere," by ROBERT KRULWICH from NPR, (December 19, 2012). I saw something absolutely wondrous that I simply had to share!
Krulwich describes at 'Krulwich Wonders,' a scenario where a Grad student named Jeff Bowman was on the deck of a ship; with a University of Washington biology team on their way back from the North Pole. Apparently it was bitter cold and as the dawn broke, this young man, Jeff could see what appeared to be little cyrstal flowery things, growing on the frozen sea.
This sight must have been astounding, as out of no where these delicate, flower like snowflakes forms, appeared as if they were growing like flowers in the dry, cold air "like a meadow spreading off in all directions."
Apparently every available surface seemed to be covered with them. He needless to say asked people in his group what they were. And the answer he received was "Frost Flowers!"
They aren't really flowers but are more like ice sculptures that grow on the border between the sea and air. Krulwich reported that, "On Sept. 2, 2009, the day Jeff's colleague Matthias Wietz took these pictures, the air was extremely cold and extremely dry, colder than the ocean surface. When the air gets that different from the sea, the dryness pulls moisture off little bumps in the ice, bits of ice vaporize, the air gets humid — but only for a while. The cold makes water vapor heavy. The air wants to release that excess weight, so crystal by crystal, air turns back into ice, creating delicate, feathery tendrils that reach sometimes two, three inches high, like giant snowflakes. The sea, literally, blossoms."
Krulwich continued in his post that, "Jeff's professor Jody Deming believes that as the poles warm, there will be more and more of these meadows, because there will be more and more open sea that turns to thin ice in winter. But as beautiful as they are, scientists prize frost flowers because they are so salty. These blossoms suck up seawater, concentrate the salt and have three times the salinity of the ocean. You could think of them as beautiful pickles."
Krulwich added, "If you take a frozen flower and let it melt," and that's what Jeff and his colleagues did …
… what you get is about "one to two millilitres of water," Jeff shared. That's simply very salty little puddles.
And yet, he said, "when he and his colleagues checked, they found each frost flower housed about a million creatures. 'That's 10 to the sixth! A million bacteria."
Did that surprise you? Krulwich asked Jeff. "Aren't bacteria everywhere? 'No,' he said, ' not when the environment is so extremely salty, not when these bacteria are sitting on the icy surface exposed to ferociously cold air, much colder than they're used to in the sea, and not when they are bathed in sunshine, which they don't see that often and shouldn't like."
Apparently these amazingly adaptable bacteria are happy in their salty, sunny, freezing environment, doing they're thing — well, that's the next question: What are they doing? Professor Deming and her team are eager to figure that out. Could they be ingesting something? Exhaling something? If these frost flower meadows are going to spread, that might be interesting to find out.
I found the imagery fascinating and I am happy to be warm and dry and enjoying learning about this phenomena from my comfy desk chair on my big MAC desktop screen. Hope you have enjoyed this interesting story as well!

I got a lot of help in SBA so far, but my topic died for some reason. I've got it down to two different builds, both costing about the same, and both being competent and compact gaming machines. I can't choose between the two, but perhaps I'm being a little blinded by the aesthetics of one. Those aesthetics require a little compromise in the performance department, although it may turn out that the more powerful choice won't be sufficiently powered by its PSU anyway. Here's the two options:
Option A (The Powerhouse)
CASE: Silverstone SG05 w/ 450W SFX PSU
MOBO: ASRock H67M-ITX
CPU: Intel Core i5-2400
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 6870
RAM: Corsair XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
DVD: Lite-On Slim DVD Burner
Option B (The Looker)
CASE: Silverstone SG07
MOBO: Asus M4A88T-I
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 840
GPU: Same as A
RAM: Rendition 4GB DDR3 1333 SO-DIMM
HDD: Same as A
DVD: Same as A
See what I mean? I LOVE the sophisticated yet aggressive look of the SG07 as opposed to the bland, unexciting SG05. I also like the fact that it has a 600W PSU as opposed to a 450W one. There's also a bit more room in the SG07 which bodes well for airflow. On the other hand, I would LOVE to have an i5 and 8GB of RAM. I mostly play FPS games, and my intentions are to play BF3 at as high quality settings as possible. Right now I have a 22" Chimei at 1680x1050, but come Christmas I plan on splurging for a nice 24" 1920x1200 MAYBE IPS panel. I also dabble in MMOs, and I'm particularly interested in The Old Republic. I'm sure I'll take some heat for including aesthetics in my decision making, but hey, I want my system to look as good as it performs. I guess the SG05 can be prettied up a bit with an LED fan in the front, but it still won't come close to the beauty of the SG07. Please help.
Oh, one more thing (Jackie Chan's uncle, much?). Would it be wise to invest in an aftermarket cooler for either one of these builds? The cooler that AMD includes with its processors seems fairly decent, but that tiny little pile of scraps that Intel ships with theirs concerns me. I also don't like the fact that the airflow is being directed across a cooler who's fan blows down. Something there just doesn't add up. I know there wouldn't be many options anyway due to the cramped space, but if anyone has suggestions please let me know. I'll gladly fork up another $20 or $30 to ensure my system gets sufficient cooling. Thanks!

The Gabriel Group - TGGI.us
I'm in charge of making sure TGGI's website gets a good, functional, and up-to-date facelift. The company is broadening its horizons, and the site needs to show that!
We're looking to appeal to large businesses in the field of IT, and in the field of aviation. If they have lots of data they want to keep safe in all situations, we want them to think about us. Likewise, if they manage aircraft in any way, shape, or form, we want them to think of us.
We don't have very much to work with in the way of graphics, so your artistic skills and library of stock photos will come in handy here. Attached to this brief are two files. The first file is our logo. Please use it in the design of the site, and if you can keep the look of the logo but bring it more up-to-date, we'll be very pleased.
The second file is a PDF document of a flyer we sent out. It has the colors we would like to use on our site.
Top- or left-based navigation, please.
The main link names we will be using are:

There's a lot of attention about the big comic book movies coming out this summer. We've got The Avengers, The Amazing Spiderman, and The Dark Knight Rises, all hoping to be the biggest summer blockbuster the world has ever seen. I admit, I'm very excited and plan to see all of them, and I suspect many of you are as well. However, if you think that big-budget blockbusters are the only place to get your superhero movie fix, you're wrong.
Since 2007 DC has released a dozen fantastic animated movies that blow many live action productions out of the water. Part of the reason these are so good is that they are based on stories that would never be filmed, either due to budgetary concerns or fear that they wouldn't have a wide enough box-office appeal. Even if they were green-lighted, odds are that they would have so much studio interference (see Green Lantern) that the result would be a watered-down version of what could have been great.
The animated movies have given DC more freedom to produce great stories, and they are only getting better. This year will see the release of an adaption of Justice League:Doom and a two part adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns. I'm awaiting those movies just as much as the summer blockbusters, and I'm far less worried that those movies will disappoint.
For the uninitiated, I'd live to present the top six DC Animated movies and why you need to see them. (After that you should check out the other six because, really, they're all good.)

Colnago is an Italian brand founded in 1952 by Ernesto Colnago, one of the pioneers and most innovative manufacturers in cycling history. He once stated that he "was born to build bicycles", and worked with many of the greatest cyclists of the 20th Century in his early career – including Fiorenzo Magni and Fausto Coppi. This paved the way for him to achieve greatness during the 1970s with his partnership with 'The Cannibal': Eddy Merckx.
After the Milan-San Remo of 1970, where Michele Dancelli won astride a Colnago bicycle, some of the most beautiful creations of Ernesto's factory would rise to legendary status in the hands of Eddy Merckx, including the super-light frame ridden to the hour record in 1972. Amongst these successes came a series of exquisite bicycles, each made with the intention of creating not only a bicycle, but a part of history.
Colnago Mexico - Colnago began production of the Mexico as a celebration of Eddy Merckx's world hour record in 1972, built with thin Columbus tubes for less weight and responsive handling. The Mexico was always equipped with the best components available – traditionally a Campagnolo groupset and finely made Italian finishing kit.
Colnago Super - During a period when the bicycles of the Giro and Le Tour were heavyweights with extended riding positions, Colnago released the Super – compact top tubes and low head tubes for a low, aerodynamic position. A frame which soon became the landmark for all racing bikes.
Colnago Master - The Master had completely different lugs and drastically changed tubing to the Mexico, including a unique 'crimped' design to increase stiffness and power transfer. Avid collectors are quick to purchase original Master's, either as a piece of art to display or an example of mechanical craft to ride.
Colnago Oval CX - The Oval CX represents the genesis of aerodynamic bicycle design. Modern superbikes in mass production like the Specialized Venge, Giant Propel and Scott Foil all owe their design to the Oval CX.
Colnago Mexico Oro - Many Colnago Mexico's were produced, but some were particularly special. Some were chromed and a few were gold plated (one of these was presented to the Pope).
Colnago Arabeqsque - It was produced between 1984 and 1985 to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the company: Ernesto Colnago wanted to create a bicycle which would become milestone in the bicycle industry.
Only the most beautiful examples of Ernesto's brand – like the C60 – are still made in Italy to this day. Embodied in their design is the spirit of previous great bicycles like the Mexico and the Master, and any knowledgeable collector knows the attraction of owning a fine example of Italian craft such as these.

CFCA's Hope for a Family sponsorship program focuses on the holistic development of children. Beyond needs such as health care, education and better nutrition, sponsorship can also provide counseling, art and dancing workshops, and more.
[youtube=http://youtu.be/4SZZbpS6czQ &w=600&h=400]
Paola, who teaches Maria featured in the above video, teaches one of the dancing workshops and has also been sponsored since 1996. She shares her story with us:
When I was 9 years old I got sponsored. The ladies at the kindergarten told us about the CFCA program and the benefits that CFCA was bringing to the families, and in this way I got sponsored through the CFCA.
I like sponsorship because we receive many benefits that make possible our social development. Benefits like: psychology, pedagogy, dental care, family counseling, etc.
I always liked the workshops. I think the CFCA helps develop well-rounded people through the workshops about art like handcrafts, dancing and literature.
When I was sponsored we had the chance to choose a workshop to learn, and I chose dancing workshops.
My teacher was Jorge, and we started to learn to dance to children's songs and Caribbean dancing like the Garabato dance.
Also, we had a teacher called Aurora Huertas, and she taught me about Andina dances like the Guabina, Carranga and Chicha.
In 2004 I started to pursue professional dancing as it was my dream.
This profession in art is difficult because my family asked me how I could make a living, but my mother always has been a great support to me and always attends my shows.
I made this decision because I feel the dance and I am committed to reaching my goal.
I started the workshop with sponsored children because I wanted to bring back the knowledge I learned when I attended the workshops. I want to share my knowledge because I think if we have knowledge, we must share it.
One of our most difficult challenges is the need to get dresses and makeup for our shows. Sometimes we have problems with the sound system as our sound system is a little old.
I like to teach others because I can share my passion and my love for dancing. I like to teach to others to overcome the difficulties to move our body.
Caribbean folklore is my favorite because it means tradition, rhythm and heritage. It is influenced by African flow and rhythms.
CFCA for me is a chance to reach our dreams, and CFCA is like home to me. In CFCA we have a space of joy and a lot of good memories.
Sponsorship changed my life because thanks to CFCA, I am a dancing teacher.

Yes, I consider him deluded if he thinks he is hearing the voice of someone telling him to run for Presidency. Cause Perry heard it too. Obviously unless God just wants to see the gaffe highlight reel by pitting them against each other, logically speaking, at a minimum, one of them, by definition, is deluded. As for it becoming the only issue - the two major issues I have are LGBT rights (I feel it's a civil rights issue and thus one of the most important issues of our generation), and health care issue (which affects hundreds of millions of people). So yea, I have no problem with those issues coming to the fore.
Secondly, me making a comment on his mental state does not say anything about me forcing my choice on him? What choice am I forcing him to make? How am I forcing him to live his life any differently?
You keep throwing accusations and making statements without giving any specifics. And again, I ask you, what policy that do I support that would constitute me forcing my beliefs on how he (or someone else) lives?

Tag Junior book pal, LeapFrog's newest Tag reading system, is now kid-friendlier with its chunky, ubercute, small-hands-friendly design, so you can start neglecting your children even earlier.
The Tag Junior pal is built for kids as young as two years old. The cute little guy is picked up and held on any page of a Tag Junior book, which it then reads aloud, emitting fun sound effects and music too, all using infrared cameras to follow along, and embedded memory to hold the book data. Parents also can download audio for each book in the Tag Junior library, and manage the MP3s and photo files using a Mac or PC.
The Tag Junior library will include titles such as Curious George: Colour Fun, Disney Pooh Loves To... and Dora the Explorer: 1-2-3 Dora!. The whole system will be available later this summer. Heh, and to think the highlight of my childhood was staring in front of the old boobtube watching Reading Rainbow.

Frequently Asked Questions about Beethoven
How did Beethoven go deaf?
No one knows. When they performed an autopsy on Beethoven, they discovered that the three small bones of the inner ear were fused together. Those bones were saved for many years, but their location is currently unknown. There is an unconfirmed theory that they were stolen from a museum in Vienna, taken to London, and were destroyed during a bombing raid in World War II.
When did Beethoven go deaf?
The first symptoms appeared in 1797-98 according to Beethoven himself. By 1817, when Beethoven was forty-six years old, he was functionally deaf, meaning that people had to write messages in order to effectively communicate. Even so, there are occasional report from his last decade in which people spoke to him and he understood. He was able to hear sounds in a muted way through bone convection (such as a timpani sound coming through a wooden floor).
Is it true his father beat him?
There is a fairly reliable report that Beethoven's father forced him to practice the piano in the middle of the night for many hours at a time. In general, however, tales of Beethoven's abuse are much exaggerated.
Who was the Immortal Beloved?
In 1812, Beethoven wrote a passionate letter to an unnamed woman he addressed as his "Immortal Beloved." Many authors and historians have made claims as to identity, but no definite answer can be given. Currently, the three leading candidates are Antonie Brentano, Josephine Brunswick, and Bettina Brentano.
Was Beethoven an alcoholic?
Not by European standards of the day. In his later years, he is known to have consumed a bottle of wine with dinner. It is true that, in his later years, his consumption of alcohol affected his health, and his doctors urged either more moderation or for him to stop.
Was Beethoven black?
Many people in the African-American community claim that there has been a conspiracy on the part of European-Americans to conceal Beethoven's alleged black heritage. The theory that he was black is based on the fact that Beethoven's ancestors came from the Flemish region of northern Europe that was invaded and ruled by the Spanish. Since the Moors were part of Spanish culture, it is possible that Moors were part of the invasion. This theory, however, is not based on genealogical studies of Beethoven's past, which are available to the public. Rather, it is based on the assumption that one of Beethoven's ancestors had a child out of wedlock. Another part of this theory is that Beethoven was given the nickname "Spaniard" as a child because he had a dark complexion by European standards. However, it is important to note that no one called Beethoven black or a moor during his lifetime, and the Viennese were keenly aware both of Moors and of mulattos, such as George Bridgetower, the famous violinist who collaborated with Beethoven.
Why do portraits of Beethoven make him look unhappy or angry?
Most of Beethoven's later portraits were based on his life mask of 1812. When a life mask is taken, a person must lie absolutely still, which means no smiling. Similarly, when one had his portrait painted in those days, men were not usually portrayed with smiles, but rather in more formal poses.
Did Beethoven have syphilis?
There is no evidence that Beethoven had syphilis. Most medical doctors who have studied Beethoven's medical history agree that he had no symptoms of the disease.
What was the cause of Beethoven's death?
No one knows; many different theories have been proposed. The autopsy report says that he had dropsy, which is the early 19th-century term for edema ("swelling due to an accumulation of tissue fluid," as defined in Peter Davies' Beethoven in Person, 235).

This website will be for the UK market. The user will be able to upload its property video in order to sell the property. The ones looking for a property to buy or rent will be able to view these property videos. Using a property video to present a property will be the new feature of this website.
In the future the website will be used for all services related to owning a property. The following services come into mind;
- energy services
- mortgage services
- moving services.
Basically I would like to target EVERYONE who is trying to sell, buy, put up for rent or rent a property.
I would like to have a logo which vibrates positiveness and freshness and also gives the viewer an idea of what the website is about. The following words come to mind when I think about the website (the product);
- fresh
- new
- positive
- very usable
- professional
The logo will probably be used on the website and on my business card, so it shouldn't be too big. It should be placeable in a corner of a web page.
I guess these are the main pointers I would like to give. Feel free to be creative!

We offer many vegan, gluten-free and raw food options. Despite our healthy focus, our first and foremost aspiration is to offer delicious and crave-worthy cuisine.
Service is priority one in our restaurant. We offer super-friendly, not-pretentious, down-to-earth service with a smile. We understand that our food may be somewhat intimating to many new customers, so our waitstaff is trained to understand this. We never look down on any questions and we are always happy to provide excellent customer service.
Since our food is vegan and health oriented, we already have a captivated audience in the vegetarian and raw food community. Our rebranding strategy is geared towards appealing more to the mainstream audience who have an eye on organic and health conciousness. We do not want to mention "vegan" or "healthy" in our brand name. The color scheme and style of logo should convey this without having to use polarizing words.
Our new logo should:
CONTAIN - "SunCafe" and "Organic Cuisine" as the tagline.
CONTAIN - somesort of sun motif or graphic, it doesn't have to be completely obvious and in your face, but some kind of sun related element in the logo design is appreciated.
COLORS - Green, Yellow, White (though, feel free to try other color schemes as we are also looking to change our look and feel)
BE BRAND-ABLE - though we only have one restaurant now, we have ambitions to open a small chain of similarly themed estalishments
ABLE TO BE USED - on sign in front of restaurant along with business cards and stationary and television and print ads.
CONVEY TYPE OF FOOD WE OFFER - we want the logo to suggest that we are healty and vegan but we do not want to spell that out. We always promote our food as "tasty above all else." We never put anything on our menu that does not first taste delicious.
MAKE YOU FEEL - Healthy, vibrant, happy, clean, natural

All during Music Week at Deadspin, I'll be writing about great asskicking songs of yore. Today, it's "Whole Lotta Rosie" by AC/DC.
The riff they use in "Whole Lotta Rosie" is the oldest guitar riff in the history of the universe. It's the original blues riff, the one Bo Diddley made famous in 1955 with "I'm A Man," and the one stolen by countless artists throughout history, most notably by Thorogood for "Bad to the Bone". Only on "Whole Lotta Rosie," Malcolm Young takes that riff and speeds it up like a motherfucker, making a bed out of it for Angus Young to then jump up and down on until it breaks.
The final three minutes of this song are basically one giant guitar solo (a final chorus is thrown in for posterity). If some other band did that, it would be self-indulgent and annoying. But when AC/DC does it, it's the greatest thing ever.
Young even makes his guitar bust a nut. No joke. Go to the 4:58 mark. That's an orgasm. Angus is playing faster and faster and harder and harder and then suddenly, right at that mark, he releases, right into all 266 lbs. (19 stone) of Rosie. Then the song ends quickly afterwards and the band is sneaking out the window and running away from Rosie's place as fast as fucking possible.
In fact, the entire song plays out like a sexual encounter conducted in real time. There's a bit of charm up front from Bon Scott, then Scott expresses surprise at Rosie's prowess in the sack, then the talking stops and it's all hard-pumping guitar action the rest of the way, right up until Angus skeets all over the joint. Five minutes, twenty-five seconds, start to finish. No pussyfooting around.
"Whole Lotta Rosie" is about having sex with an obese woman. It's based on a real encounter with a fat gal Scott nailed somewhere along the line, before drinking himself to death. And while it's a funny song on the surface of things, there's little doubt that the song conveys the sheer, unbridled joy that Scott experienced while having sex with Rosie. That's what I like about the song. Rosie ain't exactly small, but goddamn it she's an animal in bed. Having sex with Rosie is a fucking BLAST, and the song has absolutely no shame about it. In fact, Bon is bragging about it to anyone who'll listen. Rosie's no joke. Taken that way, the song isn't mean to oversized women. It's worshipful. And that's cool, because plenty of men (myself included) like a lady who ain't no skin and bone. Rosie's a REAL woman, who knows exactly how to get you off in five minutes flat. She deserves to be immortalized in song.
I grew up with the Brian Johnson version of AC/DC. "Back in Black" was the first album of theirs I ever listened to, and then listened to again and again and again. So while Scott was the band's original vocalist, I didn't get familiar with him until I knew the Brian Johnson version of the band. He was always the second vocalist in my memory, which is completely backwards. His was the voice that sounded weird and out of place.
Now I'm all grown up and it's clearer now that Scott was the true AC/DC frontman. He was much dirtier than Johnson. MUCH dirtier. All you have to do is hear Scott sing three notes and you know immediately he's a drunk who'll bang anything that comes across his path. That's pretty much exactly what you want out of your AC/DC frontman. Scott makes being a sleazebag sound like the greatest thing ever, and "Whole Lotta Rosie" is his, and the band's masterwork. You'll never bang a skinny girl again.

House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday offered a deal to increase the debt ceiling until Nov. 22, without reopening the government, in exchange for negotiations with President Barack Obama on spending cuts and tax reform.
As part of the deal, the Treasury Department would be permanently barred from using extraordinary measures to avoid default, The Wall Street Journal reported.
White House spokesman Jay Carney signaled at a press conference that the administration was open to the short-term increase and left open the possibility the president would sign legislation that would raise the debt limit but not reopen the government. "If a clean debt-limit bill is passed he would likely sign it," Carney said.
There was no indication of whether Obama would accept the conditions on the Treasury.
Boehner said during a Thursday morning briefing that "the president is fond of saying that no one gets everything they want in a negotiation. And frankly, I agree with that. Nobody gets everything they want … What we want to do is to offer the president today the ability to move a temporary increase in the debt ceiling, an agreement to go to conference on the budget, for his willingness to sit down and discuss with us a way forward to reopen the government, and to start to deal with America's pressing problems."
News of a possible breakthrough caused the Dow to surge more than 240 points at midday, with all three major indexes closing more than 2% higher.
But Jason Furman, the administration's top economic advisor, questioned at a breakfast meeting hosted by the Center for American Progress why Boehner would push ahead with a plan to raise the debt ceiling but not open the government, stating the administration had yet to see any legislation from the GOP.
In comments before the Senate Finance Committee the same day, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said that "No Congress in 224 years of American history has allowed our country to default, and it is my sincere hope that this Congress will not be the first."
Lew told lawmakers that Congress should pass legislation that includes both raising the debt limit and funding the government to "end the standoff."
Under the current standoff between the administration and GOP lawmakers, the nation "now faces a manufactured political crisis that is beginning to deliver an unnecessary blow to our economy, right at a time when the U.S. economy and the American people have painstakingly fought back from the worst recession since the Great Depression."
The uncertainty around raising the debt limit is also "beginning to stress the financial markets," Lew said. "Yields on Treasury bills maturing in the second half of October and early November have already surpassed the peaks on similarly affected maturities in July 2011. At our auction of four-week Treasury bills on Tuesday, the interest rate nearly tripled relative to the prior week's auction and reached the highest level since October 2008. Measures of expected volatility in the stock market have risen to the highest levels of the year."
Indeed, political strategist Greg Valliere of Potomac Research questioned whether the administration would go along with any GOP plan that didn't include opening the government. Valliere opined in his Thursday morning commentary that he anticipated "a scenario under which the debt ceiling is raised for a few weeks — while a continuing resolution, perhaps lasting a few months, opens up the government." This, he continued, "would be followed within minutes by a pledge from Barack Obama and lawmakers to begin talks on deficit reduction, tax reform, entitlement savings."
Industry trade groups told members of the Senate Banking Committee the same day that investors were watching the political wrangling in Washington with bated breath. "Fund advisors and the investors they serve are watching Washington's approach to debt and deficits with alarm," said Paul Schott Stevens, president and CEO of the Investment Company Institute. "They see on all sides — at both ends of Pennsylvania avenue — a lack of action on our nation's current fiscal policies. They are deeply concerned about the potential results of this inaction."
Ken Bentsen, president of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, said that if Congress fails to raise the debt limit "and the Treasury is unable to meet interest and principal payments coming due, it would in effect trigger a series of events which inevitably would lead to American taxpayers paying more to finance our debt."
Senator Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., argued that the some lawmakers were in "default denial," with the going notion that the administration is bluffing about a default, and that a default doesn't matter. Schumer asked ICI's Schott Stevens if the nation should risk default.
Replied Schott Stevens: "It's not an experiment that we have run or should run."

"A series of Events" Mug 2
Warning: Cups must be tempered before use. (Let cups sit with warm/hot water in them to warm them up before using) They have had a history of cracking when boiling kettle water is poured into them from time to time. I am working on solving this problem. No need to temper for coffee, but wouldn't hurt.
Each cup is handbuilt, starting from a pinch pot, the rough pinched forms are trimmed down quickly, but thoughtfully. The interior of the cup reveals the initial pinching process while the exterior is roughly trimmed leaving behind subtle marks. This form provides the structure for the marks that create the drawing.
Drawings are composed using an x-acto knife on the leather hard black clay. I distort and re imagine my drawings everytime I approach a blank canvas, they are meant to push my thoughts and ideas of how I view and experience the world.

Brilliant Fey, Brilliant Foo
Tina Fey created 30 Rock. Tina Fey produces, writes, and stars in a show just anointed Emmy winner for Best Comedy. As such, Tina Fey is the quintessential example for strong women in showbiz: that you can be smart without sacrificing sexy and without sucking someone off
Tina Fey delivers the word. And you will recall, Tina Fey openly, without hesitation, went on Howard Stern and called Hollywood Ebola Paris Hilton a PIECE OF sh-t.
Apparently the Foo Fighters Dave Grohl agrees. In his words:
"Paris is f*cking lame. She's more offensive to me than anything. She's a total raging, disgusting, rich, lazy party slut."
It's those with talent who can't stand her the most, see?
Here's the lazy party slut last night losing her foot coming back from – what else – a night on the town. Cancer will always kill. AIDS will always ravage. Diseases don't change. Paris will never change. Remember that.

The saturation properties of nuclear matter are reproduced as well as the results of the Dirac-Brückner theory. After introducing the coupling between the omega meson and the kaon, our results for e ective kaon and anti-kaon energy are quite similar as calculated in the one-boson-exchange model.
- Nuclei in a chiral SU(3) model (1998)
- Nuclei can be described satisfactorily in a nonlinear chiral SU(3)-framework, even with standard potentials of the linearmodel. The condensate value of the strange scalar meson is found to be important for the properties of nuclei even without adding hyperons. By neglecting terms which couple the strange to the nonstrange condensate one can reduce the model to a Walecka model structure embedded in SU(3). We discuss inherent problems with chiral SU(3) models regarding hyperon optical potentials.

U.S. Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar lauded the introduction of bipartisan and bicameral legislation from Congress to establish a Smithsonian American Latino museum.
Introduced by Sens. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.; Harry Reid, D-Nev.; Marco Rubio, R-Fla. and Reps. Xavier Becerra, D-Calif. and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., the legislation came about as a result of recommendations by the National Museum of the American Latino (NMAL) commission.
According to a news release, the congressionally-established and presidentially-appointed NMAL commission was tasked to study the potential of a national museum dedicated to the art, culture and history of the Latino community in the United States. The commission delivered its final report to President Barack Obama and Congressional leaders in May.

Last weekend thousands of people took out their bikes and hit the road in support of saving the Arctic, with 31 different countries in 75 different cities taking part. In Hong Kong nearly 200 cyclists came out, making a round-trip between Central and North Point. Meanwhile three Greenpeace activists and two volunteers dressed as polar bears unfurled a banner reading 'ARCTIC OIL? SHELL NO!' at a Shell gas station in North Point. The mass bike ride was part of Greenpeace International's global day of action to protect the fragile Arctic region from oil drilling.

Didj 2.6.31 Kernel
This tutorial will take you through the basic steps to get the 2.6.31 Kernel (LF-Linux-2503-20110602-1237.tar.gz) loading on your Didj. This will only deal with the kernel, and will be set up to run completely from SD, rootfs included.
Software Needed
Leapster Explorer Source (LF-Linux-2503-20110602-1237.tar.gz)
Hardware needed
Kernel Configuration
Here we will configure the kernel for compiling, currently if you are using Lightning Boot 1.4 to 2.1 there is a problem with the bootloaders framebuffer and where the kernel is loaded. Two ways currently around this, create a kernel < 2mb or boot it manually with uboot and a lower address. This tutorial uses the < 2mb method, which is easy to achieve after all the modules for things Didj doesn't have are removed.
After getting your build environment set up, we'll load a default config file:
make lf1000_ts_defconfig
Next edit .config, you can do this with a text editor, or make menuconfig, this is all one line:
CONFIG_CMDLINE="mem=14M mlc_fb=0x00E00000,0x01200000 root=179:02 rw rootfstype=ext3 rootdelay=1 debug=1 init=/sbin/init console=ttyS0,115200 ubi.mtd=Brio ubi.mtd=prg_Brio ubi.mtd=Cartridge ubi.mtd=EXT ubi.mtd=prg_EXT" ubi.mtd=prg_Brio ubi.mtd=Cartridge"
You will also need to disable a few things, such as Touch Screen, Acellerometer, Camera, USB Host, etc. You can check the example config file for all the options.
Next we need to change the Mach Type in /linux-2.6/arch/arm/tools/mach-types the number has changed to 2028 - but the boot loader only knows about 1235:
#zir2412 MACH_ZIR2412 ZIR2412 1235 didj MACH_DIDJ DIDJ 1235 ... ... #didj MACH_DIDJ DIDJ 2028
Also edit arch\arm\mach-lf1000\include\mach\mlc.h
#define MLC_MAJOR 251 #define MLC_LAYER_MAJOR 250
This will enable the mlc driver to work with /dev/mlc
Then just run the install script
zImage will be found in the path defined with $TFTP_PATH in your Environmental Variables

The new head honcho has a book. (The following is lifted from Ray Ratto's piece in the Comical:)
"We want to develop a Giants Way of playing baseball," the team's new managing general partner announced Tuesday. "My idea is that we adhere to it at the minor-league level and all the way up. It's how you play the game, conditioning, fundamentals, a rigorous spring training regimen, everything. We want the best talent, the best teachers, the best leaders, the best trainers, and we want to have better communication on what we want and how we want it done."
There's a well-known fellow who passed on a some years back by the name of W. Edwards Deming. He was a mangement/leadership guru, but a nuts-and-bolts guy, not some clown spouting woo-woo hippie bullshit. His first rule was, in short: create constancy of purpose.
Now, I've been squawking for years about this sort of thing. Ever since I learned about Branch Rickey and Walter Alston and their famous tomes on how to play baseball, and how their organization (during the O'Malley era) actually embraced a uniform approach to the game, I was astounded that they were the exception, not the rule. Of course, I learned this stuff way back when the LAtriners routinely thumped the Giants and routinely found themselves fighting for a post-season spot. It was obvious then that their organization was superior. Some day, I thought, the Giants will figure it out.
I therefore greet this news from El Jefe with optimism--guarded of course, because Sabean and Bochy will still be around. But optimism nonetheless, something I've had in short supply recently. After all, our starting shortstop next year has a .337 lifetime slugging percentage.
I'm about to head off for work right now, so I can't actually "raise a glass," but I call on all readers and hecklers to raise a glass to Bill "Duke" Neukom for making a fine first impression.

Many studies have shown that married adults have a greater likelihood of living longer than their unmarried counterparts.
3 The association between marriage and decreased mortality has even been established in studies conducted in a wide variety of cultures.
4 Additionally, UCLA Professor Robert Coombs found, "Virtually every study of mortality and marital status shows the unmarried of both sexes have higher death rates, whether by accident, disease, or self-inflicted wounds, and this is found in every country that maintains accurate health statistics."
5 The reasons married people tend to live longer are not fully understood, but researchers hypothesized that the benefit could a result of the economic advantages of marriage. However, they found no significant link between income level and probability of death.
6 When it comes to extending life, marriage – not money – consistently predicts the benefit.
Physical Health
Married people live longer because they are more likely to enjoy better physical health. The various ways marriage protects the health of married adults run the gamut, "The protective influence of marriage applies not only to more minor illnesses like colds, flu, and migraine headaches but also to serious health issues like cancer, heart disease, and heart attacks – as well as the need for any kind of surgery."7
Researchers studying marital health in seventeen different nations observed married persons are more likely to recognize symptoms, seek medical treatment, avoid risky behavior, recover quicker, and eat a healthier diet.8
One significant reason marriage has such strong health benefits is that spouses are intimately aware of and impacted by their spouse's choices. In a sense, couples have a significant vested interest in watching out for one another and encouraging healthy choices and behavior.
Wives tend to discourage drinking, smoking, unnecessary risk-taking, and also improve their family's diet.9 In fact, men actually decrease many self-destructive patterns up to a year before their actual wedding date.10 It seems even planning to get married improves a man's health.
Another health benefit comes from emotional support. Researchers found emotional support from a spouse can help people recover from both minor and major illnesses and even help cope with chronic diseases.11 Some studies even suggest that marital relationships actually boost the immune system,12 making sickness less likely in the first place.
Mental Health and Happiness
Married men and women also have less likelihood of developing any form of mental illness. A 1991 study of the mental health in America found that married people have significantly lower rates of severe depression and at least half the likelihood of developing any psychiatric disorder then never-married, cohabiting and divorced people.13
These mental health benefits are a good reason for married couples considering divorce to work at staying together. Divorce and separation are associated with a much higher risk of mental illness—and most of all—depression.
In addition to mental health, married people are more likely to describe themselves as happy. Men in nations with higher rates of marriage are happier than men in nations with lower rates of marriage.14 Some researchers have compared the overall increased happiness experienced by the married to the boost experienced after receiving a $100,000 annual pay raise.
Marriage, Not Cohabitation
The health benefits enjoyed by married people do not exist in other types of intimate relationships. Several studies have explored whether cohabiting couples or singles with close relationships enjoy similar health benefits to those enjoyed by married people. They do not. The mechanisms causing the increased likelihood of longevity and health are not shared by cohabiting couples.
Unlike marriage, cohabitation is negatively associated with both financial satisfaction and health.15 Several researchers have noted that cohabiters have poorer psychological well-being compared to married individuals, "suggesting that the protection effects of marriage are not as applicable to cohabitation."16
Selection or Protection?
So why the benefit of marriage over other romantic and domestic relationships? Many in the research community have questioned whether marriage itself offers a health safeguard (protection) or whether healthy people are simply more likely to marry in the first place (selection). Can't we just boil these findings down to people looking for and marrying healthy people in the first place? Not quite.
Glenn Stanton explains that married people benefit from "social control," or that regular advice to "Eat your vegetables," "Get a good night's sleep," "Don't drive so fast," and "How many donuts have you eaten today?"17 Children receive this guidance from their parents, but even adults benefit from regular motivation to make healthy choices. Many might call this "nagging," but Stanton suggests that this can play a key role in keeping us healthy. In fact, spouses have a power of persuasion toward healthier choices that not even one's own mother can match.
The research is clear, diverse and consistent. Those who marry have a much higher likelihood of living longer, being healthier and being happier. These benefits are exclusive to marriage. For better or worse, married people tend to enjoy longer, healthier lives than those who never marry or dissolve their marriages. Anyone interested or concerned about the health and well-being of themselves, their families and their neighbors cannot over-look marriage as a leading determinant. The Christian's command from Jesus to love our neighbors must recognize the importance of encouraging and supporting marriage as a personal and societal good. Finally, marriage and it's health benefits should be recognized for the role in our nation's important health care debate. Marriage matters in important and profound ways.

Yesterday, Facebook announced that it will sell gifts users can send to their friends.
Chris Dixon, a successful serial investor and one of New York's most visible startup investors is skeptical it'll work.
"Getting users to switch 'modes' from online to offline (& vice versa) has historically yielded very low conversion rates," he tweets.
His point is that when people go to a site for one reason, it's hard to get them to do anything else.
Users go to Amazon to shop, Match.com for a date, and Craigslist for a free sofa. Users go to Facebook to share photos and maybe read news, not buy things.
Just because a new feature from Facebook appears, doesn't mean users are going to suddenly start going there to use it.
"It's all about the mental state. Are you sharing photos online [or] giving something offline? The numbers show it's hard to switch."
Other cases in which getting users to switch "modes" from offline to online or back again, that hasn't worked include "showing URLs in TV ads or magazines" or "trying to sell anything on [a] social network."

In today's networking landscape, it is no longer adequate to have a DNS infrastructure that simply responds to queries. What is needed is an integrated self-protecting DNS architecture that also enables smart growth. DNS is essential to any organization. Without a working DNS protocol, it would be almost impossible to have an Internet of Things that communicate with each other. Without a proper DNS infrastructure, your organization would not have a presence in cyberspace. Ecommerce companies would not be able to sell their services. Even brick-and-mortar companies need DNS servers to advertise their products. In short, the Internet as we know it would not exist. Designing a scalable and secure DNS architecture requires more than increased bandwidth and QPS. Read this white paper to learn how to build a comprehensive, secure, and scalable DNS solution that ensures availability of essential infrastructure enabling your organization to both grow and protect itself.

How can I become an Arch Developer?
The main motivation for your work on Arch should be helping the whole community, and not simply trying to become an Arch developer by any means.
Usually, new developers are picked by the existing developers as the workload increases. Sometimes they post a position and you can apply to fill it, but more often, they just invite somebody they know would be good at it and would fit in well with the rest of the team. Having a portfolio of Arch contributions is the best way to make it on the team.
Here is a list of things that you may do in order to gain some "popularity" towards Arch's developers:
- Establish a reputation as being helpful by offering assistance whenever possible.
- Answer questions on the forum, IRC, and mailing lists.
- Join the Trusted Users to gain packaging experience to show your skills.
- Submit packages to the AUR.
- Join one of the offshoot projects that may be incorporated into Arch mainstream someday, or start your own.
- Work on pacman, makepkg or other source code and submit patches to the bug tracker.
- Traverse the bug tracker and fix existing bugs.
- Find and submit new bugs.
- Fix wiki errors, add new pages, clean up existing pages, and make sure the procedures are up-to-date.
- Submit translations.
How can I become a Trusted User?
Please read Trusted Users#How to become TU?.
What can I do as an artist?
Feel free to share wallpapers, splash screens, color palettes, widgets, themes, etc. with the community on the art subforum.

A few years ago I made a pattern for some yogi-pants, after that I have sew'en quit a few of them. Now im thinking of knitting a pair. The inspiration for that I got form my all time faveorite danish designer Bente Geil aka Geilsk - she is working on a pattern for pants, I have seen some of the pictures, and I simply cant wait for the pattern. So now im on to making a pattern for knitted yogi-pants my self.

GEOS provides 911/SOS monitoring included in your basic service. You can upgrade to the GEOS Member Benefit for reimbursement of up to $100K in Search and Rescue (SAR) expenses - even coordinating a private SAR contractor if needed to get you to safety.
The Power Behind the Button
GEOS provides 911/SOS monitoring and emergency dispatch through the dedicated International Emergency Response Coordination Centre (IERCC) based in Houston, Texas.
The IERCC is manned 24/7 with dedicated and highly trained operatives who have access to emergency responders worldwide to ensure that in an emergency your situation will be dealt with efficiently and you will receive the resources you need. In fact, the average response time from the receipt of your 911/SOS message until referring an emergency responder is only 11 minutes, wherever you are in the world.
Once a SOS/911 message has been received, the IERCC calls your emergency contact(s) to make sure that it wasn't a false alarm. They locate and notify an emergency responder, and then maintain an open line of communication, including providing updates of your location if needed. The IERCC will also keep your emergency contact(s) informed.
The dedicated IERCC staff will always go the extra mile. If you upgrade your service to include the GEOS SAR Member Benefit and require it, GEOS will even locate a private SAR contractor and coordinate the SAR response. Only once you are safely out of harm's way and being treated in a hospital (if necessary) with your family notified, does the IERCC stand down and declare the incident closed.
Why Should I Upgrade?
A Membership in GEOS, including Search and Rescue, GEOS is insured with Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's of London to cover its liabilities for the benefits GEOS provides to Members, is available to all SPOT subscribers for only $21.95 USD per year (inc GST) in Australia / $22.94 USD per year (inc GST) in New Zealand. The GEOS Membership provides up to $50,000 per occurrence in reimbursement for qualified SAR extraction-related expenses for which you are held responsible up to two (2) events per year. GEOS Memberships also provide additional SAR coordination - including arranging private aircraft/helicopter charter, private search teams - if required to get you to safety. See full terms and conditions available at FindMeSPOT.com or http://www.geostravelsafety.com/index.html#sar.
Do not assume that the official emergency services will have the personnel and equipment required available at that critical time when you need help fast. In some countries, there may not be official help available at all! Even within the United States, you may be held responsible for the cost of a medical evacuation via helicopter and that cost may not be fully covered by your insurance. Your investment could save you up to $100,000.
Secure Service
The GEOS IERCC location is supported by secure infrastructure housed in a nuclear-proof bunker 50 feet underground. To ensure continued service regardless of any environmental disasters the IERCC is equipped with:
GEOS offers a wide variety of services that encompass security, safety and reliable communications for corporations as well as domestic and international travelers. These programs include monitoring weather and worldwide events, providing safe traveler programs, and providing corporate security monitoring and coordination. The GEOS programs are delivered through a fusion of state-of-the-art technology with the unparalleled experience of the very best and most respected specialists in the fields of international, personal and corporate protection and communications.
Where Do I Learn Even More?

What I was proposing would not have removed the existing translations, but they would not have been listed for further work. For the moment we are not proposing to remove any KDE3 pages. When we do feel that we need to, we will not delete them, but move them to Archive:pagename so they will still be available when needed.
My rationale for asking the question is that it seems unlikely that changes, and therefore new versions of translation, would be needed on the KDE3 pages. However, it's important not to make things difficult for any group of users, so I'll wait to hear what the Trinity Desktop people need. This is not something urgent :-)
> we will not delete them, but move them to Archive:pagename so they will still be available when needed. Oh, I see. So there is almost no problem.
Is it possible to add translation for archived articles? There are still some translations of KDE3 on .jp wiki, so I'd like to merge them.
I'd like to take them out of the translate system, make them set in stone, but that situation definitely calls for a stay of execution.Please carry on working with them, and if you hit any problems let me know. I'll try to resolve them. Once you feel that everything is adequately covered we'll archive the pages, keeping them intact.
OK. I'll continue to work on. Thanks :)
Can I add translation in old way? (Create page named "***_(ja)") With current translation system, it takes time to merge because I have to check each sentences. (Not all Japanese translations are up to date. Some sentences are added or removed from English version.)
You could do that, but please remind me, when you are finished, that those pages need to be archived manually. I'll do it, but my memory is horribly bad.
It occurs to me that the reason this thread was started was that some ...(ja) pages had translate tags. I you add the <translate></translate> pair, top and bottom of the page, it should get listed with those others. That should help us remember which ones are to be archived.
All right. I'll copy & paste Japanese translation from .jp wiki to ..._(ja) page of techbase.
You don't mean that I have to add <translation> tags on ..._(ja) page and/or original English page, right? Let me ask to avoid misunderstanding...
I'm thinking aloud, and it may not work, but I'm suggesting that we put it onto the Japanese pages. It's nonsensical to be there, which should remind me that I have to manually deal with them. If you have any better ideas I don't mind - I just want something to remind me :-) It won't actually cause them to be in the translation system, as someone (usually me) has to mark them ready for translation.
OK. I thought it is natural to put translations near the original pages, but it is also OK to put on .jp server.

The Visomate Vision and Posture corrector does just that. This USB device sits atop your display and will monitor your posture and vision. It will flash an LED if you are sitting incorrectly and also does the same when you are too close to the monitor. It retails for $26 and I may have to invest in it. I spend the majority of the day in front of the computer, half of the time I'm hunched over the keyboard, the other half I'm slouching and I know I'll be kicking my own ass at the age of 40 if I don't fix this now.

So yesterday was a busy day. But so much fun!
We drove into Richmond and met Holdin' Holden and Mom-Troversial and their kids at Hollywood Cemetery. We explored the amazing cemetery for a few hours and then went down to the James River to eat lunch and swim. We had an absolute blast and I'm so happy that we got to meet them. I wish we would have had more time, but maybe next year! Go check out the pages/blogs - they might have more pictures posted since I have very limited access right now.
After we were done, we headed back out her for more fun and frolic. The Dude and i took a long walk through the woods while the kids were in the pool and then we had burgers and dogs for supper before our friend Bruce had to leave so we shot a quick group picture before he bolted. Then it was more quality time at the firepit - including s'mores.
Everyone slept well last night - including me! I didn't wake up until 10:45! The kids are already back in the pool and we are just going to hang out here today and relax and do laundry before we head out to our next destination in the morning.
Stay tuned.....
