The Z32 was critically acclaimed by many magazines as being a complete turnaround from the Z31, which many critics felt was a sloppy-handling GT, far from the agile, sporty 240Z of years past.
Motor Trend named the 1990 300ZXtt "Import Car of the Year".
Motor Trend also named it ?One of the Top Ten Performance Cars?.
Automobile Magazine honored the 300ZX as its ?Design of the Year? and named the 300-ZX Turbo to its ?All Stars? list.
Automobile Magazine also named the Z32 to its "25 Most Beautiful Cars" list in August 2006 and "20 Greatest Cars" in April 2006.
Road & Track named the 300ZXtt ?One of the Ten Best Cars in the World?.
Car and Driver named the 300-ZX Turbo ?One of the Ten Best Cars? for six straight years.
From the year it was introduced, it won many comparison tests against similar sports cars such as the Mitsubishi 3000GT/Dodge Stealth and the Mazda RX-7, as well as the Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Thunderbird, Toyota Supra and the Porsche 968.
From 1990 to 1995, as well as dominating the GTP category, now with a newly-designed chassis and engine, the 300ZX, which was campaigned by Clayton Cunningham Racing, was championed by Steve Millen in the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) and its GTO and GTS classes. He was ranked as the #1 Factory Driver for Nissan for 7 years, as well as two IMSA GTS Driving Championships and two IMSA GTS Manufacturer's Championships before the car became banished from competition altogether.
The Z32 also holds a land speed record in the E/BMS class. A joint effort between JUN Auto and Blitz was able to produce a 300ZX that reached 419.84 km/h (260.932 mph) at the Bonneville Speedway. This record remains unbroken.

Options to boost Catholic schools considered
By MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
The Most. Rev. Peter Libasci, the Roman Catholic bishop for the Diocese of Manchester, left, shares a light moment with Sister Mary Jo Walsh, principal of St. Patrick School in Portsmouth, and the Rev. John Fortin, superintendent of Catholic schools for the diocese, during a meeting of Catholic educators at the Grappone Center in Concord on Friday. (MICHAEL COUSINEAU/UNION LEADER)
— Only 11 percent of school-age Catholic children attend Catholic schools in New Hampshire and more Catholic schools are needed, the superintendent of the state's Catholic schools said Friday.
"It's not a question that there aren't students," the Rev. John Fortin told 500 Catholic educators at the Grappone Conference Center. "It's a question of accessibility and affordability. Those are the problems we have, getting these folks to help us get these kids into our schools and in some places in the state, getting some schools started."
He said Laconia is the farthest north he travels to visit a Catholic school.
Fortin oversees more than 4,000 students at 23 primary and secondary schools run by the Diocese of Manchester. The bishop also recognizes five other private Catholic schools with more than 2,000 students combined.
There are people in New Hampshire who are willing to pay a little extra for quality Catholic school education.
Fortin said Census figures showed nearly 27,000 millionaires live in New Hampshire.
"Just give me 1 percent of them," Fortin said.
"Maybe, some of them are in here," he said, drawing laughs. "Please raise your hand."
On a more serious note, he said, "I think there is money. I think we just have to find a way to get it to support our schools."
Fortin spent the bulk of his talk discussing how teachers can help make their students more well-rounded and more in touch with their faith.
"We're not just interested in test scores," Fortin said.
"Our job is for our kids to see the face of Jesus in their lives and that includes seeing it in us," Fortin said. "To help them develop a personal relationship with the Lord and therefore to give communal witness to the Gospel."
Many people think that religion and politics shouldn't mix.
"If we don't talk about politics, my goodness, where does our religion go in terms of its communal witness?" he asked.
Catholics also need to appreciate life.
"God has blessed us in so many ways that we need to celebrate, we need to rejoice, and we end to convey that to our students, that there is joy in life ...," he said.
Sister Mary Jo Walsh, principal of St. Patrick School in Portsmouth, said Fortin "gives great talks. He's going to be wonderful for us."
Andrew Gaydos, a music teacher at St. John Regional School in Concord, called Fortin's presentation a "wonderful talk, very inspiring, very heart-felt."

Times Square Pizza
Fuck a goddamn duck. Why do people keep putting pizzerias in this location? Do they not know of the vengeful pizza curse that will inevitably buttfuck them? First you had Krazy, a goddamn institution of terribleness which closed down at least 49,000 years ago. Then Goodfellas comes along and I barely know what the fuck to say about that place. I gave them more chances than I should have, for personal reasons. They occasionally churned out really good pizzas, but only when they happened to be using quality ingredients (which was rarely). You have to use good products. It's pretty fucking simple.
Yes, I have heard the popular refrain that, "it's like pizza; even if it's bad it's still good." WELL FUCK YOU. Honestly, just fuck you. That's like Paula Deen saying that, "it's like butter, I'm a dumb fat shitty bitch." I don't want to fucking hear that shit. I just hate this concept of pizza being a bankrupt foodstuff which doesn't really matter and that drawing distinctions between pizzas makes me a faggot. No, what makes me a faggot is all the dick I suck, I'll have you know.
Along this line of thought, of how to define pizzas and how to suck dick, let me just say that Times Square is all fucking tooth in the blowjob arena and as far as pizzas go it's just a whole lotta fucking god damn I don't know what. But it's bad. And they air their pies out like dirty laundry. Health code violation, anyone?
I was looking forward to this place opening up since I live nearby, I went to Goodfellas a lot (to play PacMan) and I'm a reformed quasi-Rack'mite. The first sign of trouble was when I heard they were gonna cook their pizzas on some kind fancyfuck of a pan and not use flour ... just ... oil ... I'll have you know that I hate ellipses, but I really felt the need to belabor the point that I'm confused as fuck right now. Shit's weird, I'm scared and confused, I haven't even eaten happytime mushrooms in over a year, nothing makes sense, help me, I'm drowning in stupidity.
Also I'm drowning in bad, bad, bad, rubbery, low-fat, sad-as-fuck cheese. I'm drowning in sauce that tastes like it came straight out of a bad, bad, bad jar of generic 'pizza sauce.' And then there's the crust that is underdone, greasy, silly, full of what-the-fucks and man let's go back to the cheese for a second because it's fuckin' burnt too.
Fucking recap: Doughy, underdone crust cooked on a pan lined with grease. Very bad and very burnt cheese-like rubber atop a layer of jarred idiot sauce. Are you with me in standing up and saying 'THIS AGGRESSION WILL NOT STAND, DUDE"?
It reminds me of a trip to the food store the other day. This car was in the middle of the lanes, blocking me. I flipped this car off because the car was where it shouldn't be. The numbskull in the car didn't really like me flipping his car off so he waited for me at the front of the store and confronted me. I really just wanted to buy some yogurt so I tried to walk past him and he shoved me! I gave him a little charge and I guess he realized that a crazed 200-pound pile of who-knows-what might threaten his sixty-year-old bones so he backed away and said, "I better not see you around here again," (what is this the old fucking west?), to which I responded with a followup double-bird flipping and a crazy head-shake accompanied by a noise that sounded like this: "WHHAARRRLRRHHGGHHLEERRAHH."
What I'm trying to say is, and this is about to get existential: the old man and the Times Square slice are the same. They're self important and they're really bad at whatever they're trying to do. They're a dichotomy of boldness and weakness. They're like the baby that cries a lot only to be tossed unemotionally into the nearest bin.
Everyone, into the bin!
I have no more words.

Things had gone stale at the Stadium of Light over the last few weeks, and although a narrow defeat to Manchester United doesn't look too bad at first glance, the Black Cats were utterly insipid yet again.
The board, led by chairman Ellis Short, decided to act, but many expressed their shock as O'Neill was sacked late on Saturday. Apparently having seven games to play means a club should stick, rather than twist. But action had to be taken and taken it was.
Sunderland's run-in
|Apr 7
|Chelsea (A)
|Apr 14
|Newcastle (A)
|Apr 20
|Everton (H)
|Apr 29
|Aston Villa (A)
|May 4
|Stoke (H)
|Southampton (H)
|Tottenham (A)
Many disagree with his methods and even beliefs - Labour MP David Miliband immediately stepped down from his role at the club due to the Italian's "past political statements", and a major Swindon sponsor did likewise back in 2011.
Furthermore, Di Canio had several bust-ups with his players while with the Robins. He fought with striker Leon Clarke in the tunnel not long into his first full season at the County Ground, and earlier in this campaign he substituted goalkeeper Wes Foderingham after a shaky opening 20 minutes at Preston. Foderingham was furious, and when captain Luke Rooney was also substituted at half-time, both men sat with the travelling fans for the second half in an act of defiance.
But he knows how to galvanise a dressing room as well. The players that were with him would tell of their enthusiasm for his methods, whether public or private, and they would fight for their lives, partly in fear of a very vocal reprisal. Clarke never played for Di Canio again, but those were the early days. Foderingham, who had signed for Swindon because of the "ledge" Italian, returned to the first team after the Deepdale debacle after apologising to his manager.
Di Canio knew how to rile the rivals, too. Ahead of a derby with Oxford, he claimed that United's star striker James Constable was "Swindon through and through". The Italian was also embroiled in a long-running, bitter feud with then Crawley manager Steve Evans. Date for the diary: Sunderland play Newcastle in two weeks' time.
And it was not only Swindon Town Football Club that was transformed. The town itself buzzed, and local journalists, so often used to quiet southwestern life, would hang on his every word. His pre- and post-match conversations with the press would last for at least half an hour and everything he uttered would be gold.
|Paolo Fiorenza | Goal.com Italy
"Paolo Di Canio had two dreams in his second life as a manager: manage at Lazio or join any Premier League club. He realised the only option within his reach, due to the presence of his 'old enemy' Claudio Lotito at the Italian club and for his human and technical qualities that fit English football, was to stay put.
"A controversial figure, Di Canio has long been scrutinised for his political ideas and behaviours. In Italy he is out of the spotlight, while in UK he has built a solid reputation thanks to an excellent career as a player and two extraordinary years as Swindon Town boss. Passionate, energetic, sensitive to the moods of the fans and ready to inflame them, Di Canio knows the style of football, and the media, in the UK and has a fierce motivation. He has all the tools to do well at Sunderland."
Fans, players and journalists alike always had a sense - a fear even - that one day he would leave and things would go back to normal, back to the hum-drum. That is a rare thing for any manager at any level.
He now brings the whole show to Wearside, a football community in dire need of a jolt or two. He will not waste any time telling some of the Sunderland shirkers what their duties are. He may not have top-level managerial experience, but he has been in these relegation dog fights as a player and will not stand for the below-par performances that had become the norm under O'Neill.
So often football clubs turn to a new manager in the hope of a miraculous reversal of fortunes; a short, sharp upturn in results brought about by a fresh face. Reading have shown how it shouldn't be done by replacing Brian McDermott with Nigel Adkins.
But Di Canio is a wildcard. Sunderland will be the focal point of British football for the next couple of weeks, and if Manchester United wrap up the title before the middle of April, the Black Cats will be the centre of attention in the run-in. That is the Di Canio factor.
And that is why Sunderland have pulled off a masterstroke. Players will arrive for training on Monday to be faced by a man who will not accept their recent effort levels. The fans will no longer stand for it, either. In the space of 24 hours Sunderland have been transformed, and the board deserve nothing but credit for making the club exciting once again.

2007 Area Committee Reports and Review Board Comments
Jump to committee:
Below are the 2007 committee annual reports and the respective comments of the Review Board. Links to previous years can be found below.
Committee Reports - 2007
The focus of the Apparatus Committee is instructional apparatus used for teaching physics. We acquire and transfer the associated knowledge so practitioners may implement the apparatus in the physics laboratory, lecture classroom, and physics outreach events. Towards this mission, in 2007/2008 we sponsored numerous competitions, workshops, paper and poster sessions, and cracker-barrels.
Review Board Comments:
Back to top
Committee on Educational Technologies
The Committee on Educational Technologies (CET) identifies, communicates, and promotes new developments in educational technology and their applications to physics teaching and learning. Our primary means to accomplish these goals are sponsoring sessions, workshops, and tutorials, and operating our two competitions at the national meetings of the AAPT. During 2007, the Committee sponsored 14 sessions and 9 workshops and co-sponsored 11 other workshops. During the summer meeting in Greensboro, the committee sponsored its annual Photo competition.
Review Board Comments:
Committee on Graduate Education in Physics
The discussion of the 2005 joint report of the AAPT-APS Task Force on Graduate Education in Physics in the committee continued this year. Michael Thoennessen, as the chair of the committee, together with Janet Tate and Chandralekha Singh from the APS Education Committee and Ted Hodapp, APS Director of Education and Outreach, is organizer for a conference on "Graduate Education in Physics: Which way forward?" where the status and future of graduate education in physics will be discussed. The conference, originally scheduled for the summer of 2007 will now take place at the American Center for Physics in College Park, MD, January 31 – February 2, 2008. The program is posted at http://www.aps.org/programs/education/conference.cfm
Committee on History and Philosophy of Physics
The traditional role of the committee has been to supply sessions and workshops for national AAPT meetings. We will continue to do this, but wish to note that our past and present members and the many friends of the committee are well positioned to give talks at section meetings. We would like to suggest the formation of a list of speakers, nominated by the area committees, who are available to give invited talks at section meetings of the association. At a recent committee meeting it was noted that this could have been done in the past by looking at the pages of the Announcer.
Submitted by Thomas B. Greenslade. Jr.
Review Board Comments:
Committee on International Physics Education
We see an opportunity to expand the membership of our organization. We are working on the following:
Submitted by:Don Franklin, Chair 2007-2008
Dates of Committee meetings: January 8, 2007; July 31, 2007
Committee on Minorities in Physics
Committee meetings: July 30, 2007 and January 20, 2008
Committee on Physics in High Schools
An over-arching goal of the high school committee is to help teachers be better teachers, students be better students, and schools be better schools. In 2007, the committee contributed towards this goal by sponsoring sessions and workshops at the National meetings, supporting special programs to encourage innovation in teaching practices and student learning, and working collaboratively with other AAPT committees to promote best teaching practices to excite students and teachers about learning through science.
Committee on Physics in Pre-High School Education
The Committee on Physics in Pre-High School Education undertook several projects at the request of the Executive Board in 2007. We reconsidered our mission statement, which we felt still reflects the essence of the committee. We considered the summary report from the Retreat and our concerns were forwarded to the Executive officer. Finally we reconsidered the need for this committee, especially in light of the new Teacher Preparation committee. The Committee strongly feels that special attention needs to be paid to physics taught before high school, after all it is this foundation that prepares physics in all later grades. As such the committee remains active in sponsoring workshops which highlight physics for young learners and best practices for their teachers.
Committee on Two-Year Colleges
Committee meetings: Winter 2007 meeting in Seattle, WA: January 7, 2007; Summer 2007 meeting in Greensboro, NC: July 30, 2007
Committee on Physics in Undergraduate Education
The CPUE mission is threefold. (1) To provide a forum for consideration of topics relevant to undergraduate instruction in physics in two-year colleges, four-year colleges, and universities. (2) In cooperation with the High School, Two-Year College and Graduate Education Committees, to seek ways of improving articulation for students progressing from one level to another. (3) To aid in keeping the AAPT membership informed of ways in which the teaching of physics at the undergraduate level may be facilitated.
Committee on Professional Concerns
Meeting Dates: WM07, Seattle – 1/8/07; SM07, Greensboro, NY – 7/31/07
Committee on Research in Physics Education
The Committee on Research in Physics Education (RiPE) continues to be active at the National Meetings. In Seattle, RiPE sponsored or co-sponsored 7 workshops and 10 sessions. In Greensboro, RiPE sponsored or co-sponsored 8 workshops and 8 sessions. In addition to these sessions officially sponsored by RiPE, there are typically several additional sessions related to Physics Education Research that are created from contributed papers at the paper sort.

Thermaltake Armor A60 Review
In the computing world, computer cases are the backbone of every machine and are constantly evolving at almost the same rate as the technology housed within. Thermaltake is a manufacturer of many computer products - cases, power supplies, air and water component coolers, case fans, and other accessories, such as fan controllers and hard drive enclosures. Thermaltake has been a large part of the enthusiast market for over a decade and is still doing very well as a company. Some of the most common questions and concerns involved when choosing the right case involves how much space it possesses, how it performs, its cost, looks, and ease of use. The goal of this review is to answer all these questions about Thermaltake's recent Armor A60, the younger sister of the Armor A90 that was reviewed here. The A90 is a well done specimen of Thermaltake's lineup, and this review will explore the capabilities and features of the Armor A60. This review will consist of a thorough exploration of the Thermaltake Armor A60 from the unboxing to interior and exterior evaluations, specifications, and lastly a real world testing where temperatures of crucial components under idle and load scenarios are recorded.
Closer Look:
The Thermaltake Armor A60 is packaged in a black, high gloss cardboard box that contains high quality graphics of the Thermaltake logo, the Armor A60 text, a picture of the case, and mention of the hot swappable hard drive slot and the USB3.0 capabilities. The right side of the box has a list of the features, found on the rear, in other languages, while the left side contains the Armor A60 text with a picture of the case as well as its manufacturer part number. The rear of the case displays most of the other content, explaining features and capabilities that the Armor A60 offers. Thermaltake certainly didn't cut the presentation short.
Just like every other case, the Armor A60 is secured between two styrofoam blocks and wrapped in a plastic bag to protect it during shipping. After removing the case from its packaging, its resemblance to the A90 is very noticeable. The triangle "plating" design that appears on the front and that is stamped into the panels is just like that found on the A90, just the A60 is a bit smaller and more compact. Included with the Armor A60 is a user's manual, as well as a small ziploc bag of screws, motherboard standoffs, wire ties, and a small PC speaker.
With the Thermaltake Armor A60 unpackaged and out of the box, the next part of the review will move onto an evaluation of the exterior of the case.

Rated 2 out of 5Āby Taydee Style made funny.. This is a very cute top, but the fit was not for my body type. My breast didn't fit in the cups for some reason. The material is nice but it just didn't work for me. March 10, 2013

I loved the Museum Jaquemart Andre - saw an exhibit by the Calliboite brothers which was stunning.ReplyDelete
This is one of my favorite museums in Paris! I passed on this exhibit when I was there in December too, just did not look too good.ReplyDelete

I don't know if I agree -- I love the paintings you showed, although they are a bit in the dumps. And I think we could all do with a little bit of "languorous hanging about." This was a spot that was on my list, and of course we didn't do homework and went by on the day it was closed. We were going to go back and just ran out of energy. Ah, the joy of BEING there and saying "If I don't go this week, next or the week after or next month is fine." So, it remains on the list (and after seeing your photos for tea and the gift shop if nothing else!) Quite ravishingly beautiful...ReplyDelete

Eagles defeat Brazil for first Amsterdam Sevens win
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands – In a first-time IRB Women's Sevens World Series matchup, the Women's Eagles Sevens shut out Brazil 24-0 to open pool play at Amsterdam Sevens with a win.
It did not take long for the Eagles to open the scoring, as Christy Ringgenberg kicked a long ball downfield for speedy Victoria Folayan to chase. She slid onto the ball to gain possession and fought off a defender to offload a pass to a hustling Ringgenberg for the try. Kimber Rozier's touch line conversion missed, but the Eagles had the important early lead.
On the restart, Brazil's captain sustained a knee to the head and had to be substituted. She committed a knock-on before going down, and the Eagles gained the ensuing scrum. Folayan was pushed into touch and Brazil kicked into touch to bring on their sub.
Deep into their own half, Brazil knocked the ball on and Folayan again found the ball in space. She burst past three defenders for an easy try between the sticks. Rozier's conversion from in front was good and the Eagles led 12-0.
With no time on the clock, another Brazil injury forced a long delay. From a scrum, Jillion Potter's hard work to gain a few meters drew defenders and set Ringgenberg up to get the try in the corner--the Eagles' third of the match. The score was 17-0 at the half.
Late in the second half, Head Coach Ric Suggitt added some fresh legs in Katie Dowty, Nathalie Marchino and Sadie Anderson, and was immediately rewarded. Marchino brought the ball wide and handed off to Dowty, who returned the favor for Marchino's first try of the tournament in the corner. Anderson nailed the conversion from a nearly impossible angle to extend the Eagles' lead to 24-0.
Brazil's only positive play of the match occurred with no time remaining on the clock, but their knock after the final horn signaled the Eagles victory.
The Eagles' next opponent is Spain – who fell to Australia 31-7 in the tournament's opening match – at 7:06 A.M. ET. Watch Amsterdam Sevens on the IRB Women's Sevens World Series website and follow updates on Twitter with @USAWomens7s.

What Shelly Sterling gets if Clippers deal closes
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shelly Sterling brokered a deal with former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to sell the Los Angeles Clippers for what would be a record $2 billion if the NBA's owners approve it.
The terms allow her to remain close to the organization by allowing for up to 10 percent of the team — or $200 million — to be spun off into a charitable foundation that she would essentially run. Under terms detailed in a court filing Wednesday, Sterling also would retain the following perks:
—10 tickets in Sections 101 or 111 for all Clippers games in Los Angeles.
—2 courtside tickets for all Clippers games in Los Angeles.
—6 parking spots in Lot C for each game
—12 VIP passes including access to Lexus Club, Arena Club, or Chairman's Lounge and media room or equivalent, for each Staples Game.
—3 championship rings following any Clippers title
—Titles of "Owner Emeritus" and "Clipper's Number 1 Fan" for the rest of her life.

The Lumia 920 is on its way to Ireland, according to a tweet published by Nokia. The Windows Phone 8 device is set to be available later this week on both Vodafone and O2. Vodafone previously published a Lumia 920 support page, which led us to assume the handset would be picked up by the network.
@garethmc Vodafone and O2 will stock the 920 from friday— Nokia Ireland(@nokiaireland) January 29, 2013
On a rather humorous note, O2 Ireland has the Lumia 820 listed as coming soon with an image of the Lumia 920 as a placeholder. Whether the mobile operator is also expecting to stock the Lumia 820 as well as the 920, we're not quite sure at this point in time.
Vodafone doesn't have the flagship Nokia Windows Phone listed on its website yet. Be sure to keep an eye out at your local stores and the website on Friday.

Q: We are moving our data center to a new location, and as a part of the move we are upgrading from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008. SQL Server 2008 will only be running at the new site, so we have to do all our testing at the new site. The database is very large so we don't want to copy the backup files over the WAN over and over again. What options are available to use?
A: The answer to the question here will depend greatly on what storage platforms you have available to you. Assuming that you have some sort of storage array which supports replication to a remote data center you have some pretty neat options available to you.
The first step will be to setup replication of the LUNs which hold the database to the second site. Then let this get into sync. This will take at least several days to get into sync for a large database. Once the LUNs on both sites are in sync, at the new datacenter take a snapshot of the replicated LUN and present that snapshot to the SQL Server instance which will be running as the new server. You can now attach the databases to the SQL Server 2008 instance. The reason that this works is because storage array snapshots are typically read/write which allows the SQL Server 2008 instance to write the needed changes to the snapshot without making changes to the base LUN which is still receiving it's changes from the production database.
You can now do all your testing that needs to be done, even reverting back to the correct state of the system taking another snapshot and doing the testing again. All this is being done without spending days or weeks copying the current database backup to the remote site and then waiting for the database to then restore.
This same technique could also be used when doing an upgrade in house. Instead of backing up and restoring the database to the test server which has been upgraded, simply snapshot the production LUNs and present the snapshoted LUNs to the new server.
Check with your storage vendor to ensure that you have the features needed to perform these actions.

Untitled text from an unnamed woman
A successful woman is the most vulnerable. There will be many people to tell her that she is talented, that she is strong and determined. There will be people to call her independent and secure. But there will be no one to tell her that she is beautiful.
Everyone admires a successful woman, but nobody wants her. The kind of woman a man desires should be vulnerable, fragile; she should be innocent and shy. She should be strong and patient, but at the same time she should have spirit and an abstract womanliness, an articulate mystique that makes her appealing, that makes her look like magic to the man who loves her.
And sadly, that woman of infinite magic and madness will never be me. So wouldn't hundreds of other girls like me, who aspire for more than what is good for her. She will never grow to be extraordinary as a woman. They will call her a prodigy, a good boss, a warm friend who gives you good advice. They will call her a milestone in her career, a role-model in her society and even if she wants to or not, she will become successful, because that's what she is cut out to be. And as futile as it is for her to control the course of her destiny, she will sit as maidens in shelves, a replica of priceless artifacts in a palace of glass. Everyone fears to touch her, yet they revel in her worth. They are pieces of art that are too expensive to be bought, fit enough only to be admired in passing by pleasant passers-by in a social museum. Everybody is awed, but nobody is mad enough to crave it like an obsessed lover. Nobody sends them roses with blood rimmed pink ribbons. There will be no love notes with a scrawl they can keep forever. No past love keeps her blue shawl with their subtle scents. But of course, there will be pleasant dinners in chic restaurants, a holiday in an exotic island, but never memories that stay fresh and lovely long enough that they sting. After that first date, after that moment when the strong, less-feminine self is revealed, everyone turns on their heels and run. The sophisticated woman hardly has any charm. Nobody loves her.
The impotence of being young and being old
There is nothing called too much loneliness. Either you are alone, ruminating on the chances of a possibility, any possibility, of breaking that immovable reverie; or you're lonely, staring into empty chasms of emptiness, solitary disillusionment and an inevitable vertigo as you climb down the stairs. Meet my grandmother, who haunts my grandpa's ghost for having left her to live vacuous, long years in a self-made asylum, her bubble of immobility, a timeless cage where nobody and nothing is welcome, nothing moves and she counts time with the impatience of a man waiting his trial.
Readers in an Adult's World: Laments of a Teenager
Week after week, I watch out for the special days when the newspaper boy throws in the 'special' Hindu- Melange and Metroplus- two supplements I crave with the curiosity of a ten year old. And promptly, I receive my share of Khyrunissa, and deeply miss Krish's Ashok's exceptionally crafted Armchair with a View, that not so long ago my teacher introduced me to during a Theory of Knowledge lesson in school.
However, nearly always I sit back a little disappointed, having read Confessions of an Anonymous woman, or the ranting of authors angered at rising onion prices, of wacky children and inconsiderate husbands, cultural issues, political mess…all problems of an adults world- to be read and digested and ruminated by the polite glass-clad uncles and aunties sitting beside freshly brewed filter coffee on the weekends.

A blighted building scheduled for demolition today in Brodheadsville could be a step toward revitalizing business in the village, Chestnuthill Township officials say.
A blighted building scheduled for demolition today in Brodheadsville could be a step toward revitalizing business in the village, Chestnuthill Township officials say.
Crews will begin demolishing the former Fins and Fangs pet shop on Route 209 near Route 715. The township acquired the property earlier this year for about $150,000 with the intention to demolish the building.
The building caught the township's eye because it's vacant, dilapidated and prominently located in the busy Brodheadsville corridor, officials said.
"We had received complaints over time, for years. The building wasn't getting any better," Township Manager Dave Albright said.
There are no concrete plans for the site, but officials envision the property either as a new business or some other use that would help promote new and existing businesses in the village. Those uses could include a public parking lot.
"There are other businesses in that area, and they're all on small lots. Is there some use that would be able to enhance shared use?" Albright said.
Business owners Tuesday said a new business would be more useful than a parking lot.
"I would rather see some food places other than McDonald's. It was a shame when the Brodheadsville Inn went out," said Tammy Fish, whose parents have owned Action Florist & Gift House for 28 years.
JoAnn LaBar recently opened Cowgirl Jo's Treasures, a thrift store in the Altemose hardware building. She said she understood the Fins and Fangs building had become dilapidated, but had fond memories of the pet store that was once there.
"It's been there since my childhood. It's sad to see old landmarks go," she said.
Albright said demolishing the blighted building is a sign that officials are taking a proactive approach to revitalizing the village. They are looking at slowly increasing the number of sidewalks and, through shared driveways, reducing the number of access points along the corridor.
They also hired a planning director from the county planning commission earlier this year.
"We're going to try and still maintain historical structures as best we're able to. The Brodheadsville Inn is an example of that. We're looking at how does redevelopment take place in a positive manner?" Albright said.

NHIAA Div. II Boys' Basketball Championship: Pembroke struggles but finishes season perfectBy JIM FENNELL
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 16. 2013 5:20PM
DURHAM - Perfection is never easy to attain and, for 16 minutes Saturday in the championship game of the Division II boys' basketball tournament, Pembroke Academy was anything but perfect.
The Spartans' bid to complete an undefeated season was sinking in a pool of fouls, missed shots, turnovers and, maybe most distressing, nerves.
A standing-room-only crowd of more than 3,000 at the University of New Hampshire's Lundholm Gymnasium was watching a team in danger of having its dream season turned into a nightmare at the hands of a Souhegan of Amherst team that seemed to have destiny on its side.
"Sometimes, this gym will get the better of you," said Pembroke coach Matt Alosa, who has played more than his share of games here. "High school kids are not used to 3,000 people. You can't hear the coach. The floor can be an ocean."
The top-seeded Spartans were down seven at halftime after leading scorer Pat Welch sat out the entire second quarter in foul trouble. They scored two points in the quarter.
But special seasons have special moments and the Spartans had theirs with a flawless second half that allowed them to rally for a 49-41 win to capture their sixth title and first since Alosa was their star player in 1991.
Welch now has that title and he lived up to it by scoring 11 of his 14 points in the second half and keying a decisive 12-0 run in the fourth quarter that turned the game around.
"There's a reason he's a first-team all-state player," Souhegan coach Mike Heaney said of the junior guard who is on track to score 2,000 points in his career.
Pembroke ends its season at 25-0, 22-0 in Division II. Souhegan, a team that went on a late-season run and rallied around the death of former teammate Tony Barksdale, finished 14-8.
"Someone wins a championship every year, but to go undefeated is very hard," Alosa said. "At some point in time you have a hiccup in the road. This was our hiccup. But this team is a great team - not a good team, but great - and it was able to withstand it."
The hiccup came when Welch picked up his third foul after being whistled for his second charge with 1.6 seconds left in the first quarter and Pembroke ahead 12-9. Alosa said he decided he was not going to play Welch in the second quarter and was hoping his team could keep the game close.
It almost didn't.
Souhegan's Brandon Len (16 points) set up center Jake Kennedy (12 points) on his team's first possession and knocked down a three on its second, triggering a 12-0 run. The Spartans looked out of sync offensively without Welch, but Alosa was just as concerned that they weren't defending.
Alosa called time with 3:45 left and Souhegan up 19-12 to remind his players to tighten their defense and not rush their shots on offense. Pembroke held Souhegan to one field goal the rest of the quarter and went into the intermission trailing 21-14.
Both coaches said they were happy with their team's position, but the Sabers quickly lost most of their lead in the third quarter and struggled offensively, shooting 7-for-25 from the field in the half.
Pembroke's three guards - Welch, Rene Maher (17 points) and Matt Persons (8) - scored 15 of the team's 17 points in the third quarter as the Spartans managed to take the lead twice. Only an NBA-range trey by Len allowed Souhegan to hold onto a 33-31 lead going into the fourth quarter.
By then, the momentum had clearly shifted and the Spartans rode that through game's end. Welch tied it at 36-all with a three and put the Spartans ahead for good after grabbing a defensive rebound, speeding downcourt and finishing with an off-balance drive, deftly avoiding a pair of defenders.
He made a great pass to Persons cutting along the baseline to make it 40-36, before it was Maher's turn to take over, scoring Pembroke's final eight points.

BIG D'S FIREHOUSE SMOKERSYear Started: 2008
Team Bio:
Danny Evans or "Big D" as referred to by his friends, started barbequing back in 1977 out of necessity to raise money for a fledging fire department in Marshallville, Ga. Evans, along with many volunteer members of the Marshallville Fire Department, started barbecuing chickens that was given to the dept. on credit by the local Red & White. MFD was able to make thousands of dollars with these fundraisers, enabling MFD to purchase add addional trucks, tankers and other needed equipment. After years of chicken cooking the MFD started cooking Boston Butts, hand pulling the barbecue they sold. The local school lunchroom employees volunteer after hours to help make the Brunswick stew, the old fashion way with the hog heads. The plates were always sold out by the end of the day. Big D and fellow aviator-close friend Bill Lavender battled over the years experimenting with ribs, pork and chicken. Both always felt like they won! Evans continued over the years cooking for large parties, as gifts to friends at Christmas and large Fourth of July Events. With the opening of a family owned restaurant with wife Julie, Big D started serving his Award winning chili at Leta's on the Square. With the chili being so popular, Big D started smoking butts occasionally for the restaurant. After several weeks of cooking on his old smoker, Evans purchased a smoker from Stump's Smokers. "With the addition of Stump's smoker we are able to cook with much more consistence than before, Said Evans". In 2008, Evans started venturing out with his barbecue catering several large events and fundraisers. Not long after that Evans entered a Georgia Barbecue Association Cook Off under the name Big D's Firehouse Smokers. Big D's walked with 2nd place ribs. That got us hooked, said Evans. Big D's continued competition in the GBA and MBN placing in many categories and winning a first place in Sauce. Big D's biggest finish to date was getting in the Finials in the Rib category at The Big Pig Jig in 2009 finishing 3rd out of 109 teams (MBN). Big D's Firehouse Smokers competed in several KCBS events in the 2011 season.Picking up a 5th place chicken at Oconee BBQ Fest.

Multisession Puppy does not ask to save at shutdown
Subject description: In one particular machine
i rebuilt my pc after the psu overheated and took out the mobo with a big bang, so here's the shakedown
- amd phenom II x3 @ 2.8 ghz
- biostar TA790GX 128M main bord
- 8 gB dual channel 800 mhz RAM
- i re-used the old IDE HDDs (2)
generally the p00tr runs fine with both lin and win installed, but when i shut down puppy, the machine does a normal shutdown without asking for a save to disc or disk.
I've downloaded and burnt 3 different versions of pup, and they all do the same thing, except when i try them on some other machine, where they perform as expected.
I'm sure there's a way to force the issue, sudo something, ... maybe?

Subject description: welcome to the #..
Odd that you get no prompt. Even without going into which version of pup, rc.shutdown has been pretty foolproof about the prompts and stuff (yep, being rc.shutdown that's its job). On an initial save it's a basic deal.
Maybe try this helper that preps the prompt so to speak - go
and read some, dl the .pet and give it a shot
come back if the dotpet doesn't joy, could definitely be your hwr if other comps are cool with your dl& burniso2cd
addenda - on the other other hand, it's been a very long time since I did any kind of hdd install (a frugal to hdd may not 'ask' for save since it's doing it anyway, but I think it gave a mssg to that effect on shutdown)

I assume you are talking about running a live CD of Puppy.
What is on the hard drives?
Was there a save file before the meltdown? If so it is using that so will not ask.
Boot with the Puppy CD
Option puppy pfix=ram
After it is running choose reboot
If it does not ask about making a save file, than it is finding something on the hard drives to make it think there is one already.

ok, sry for not giving more info
yes, i'm referring to live CD sessions (why i need to save changes)
the versions i'm trying are:
LUPU 5.1.1>Elite OS
there ARE some pupsave files already on the p00tr from earlier versions, but the newer distros are not using them. as changes are not being saved.
so, i'm in ArtistX (Ubuntu) atm, i think i'll search the comp for .2fs files first and delete them, and try puppy again; if no difference then i'll try that pupsaveconfig-1.9.9.pet and let y'all know how it works out

I tend to disagree with you to an extent.
Lupu 520 uses the Openbox window manager by default and mplayer for multimedia whereas Lupu 511 uses JWM as the window manager and Gxine for multimedia.
Correct me if I am wrong on this.

well, i found several old pupsaves and deleted them. but it made no difference. however, i returned to another comp and ran the live CD, made and saved some minor change, re-booted and saved changes to disc. so now when i run puppy on my machine, i now have a *save* icon on my desktop.
nice! works fine and to an extent problem solved. but, having
accomplished that much i went ahead and customized my CD to the extent of adding about 500 megabytes to it, so i see i'll soon be needing more space. given the files on the CD could be coppied to a DVD, even a DL DVD, which prolly would be enough space forever, maybe that's the wtg in this case.
but if anyone reads this and has an idea, i'd like to fix it and again be able to backup my portable OS to my comp. there must be a way!
gonna try thet pupsave utility next

Groggin, it took me a few extra moments to translate your post into a form of English I understand
but it sounds like you made a multisession CD. If you like running from a multisession CD but would rather use a DVD (or perhaps even a Blu-Ray disk), there is a very easy way to switch from CD to DVD without losing any of the settings or programs you may have installed on your multisession CD. Ask me how!

Hmm, well, I can only guess what you were trying to do so I don't know what went wrong.
If you're trying to move your multisession CD to a DVD, here's how I'd do it:
Boot the multisession CD in a DVD burner. After Puppy is up and running, remove the CD from the burner and put in a blank DVD. (Any kind of DVD will work: DVD-R, +R, -RW or +RW. I use a DVD+RW when I'm experimenting. Mini-DVDs work well in desktop computers with pop-out trays.)
With the blank DVD in the burner and Puppy running entirely in RAM, burn the same Puppy iso as is on the CD to the DVD, using
Menu -> Multimedia -> Burniso2cd
. Then, with the newly burned DVD still in the burner, click the
icon on Puppy's desktop. This will create the first saved session on the newly burned DVD. That first session will contain everything you've saved to the multisession CD.
That's all there is to it. Instead of clicking the Save icon, you
wait until you shut Puppy down, then tell it so save, but using the Save icon is more reliable.

Well allright
! tyvm for tht; i would never have tried that, as in the past whenever i've tried (accidently) to put a CD ISO to a DVD medium, the burner software has always objected and insisted on the right sized medium.
DVD burnt, .iso deleted and session saved, i've a little over 4 gB of writable space, so i.m good to go
thanks again

Excellent. I'm glad you got it to work.
Now that you're the proud owner of a multisession Puppy DVD, there are a few tricks you should know.
1. The browser has a cache which it gradually fills up with junk that it will never use again. To prevent that cache from becoming so large that it takes forever to load into RAM and save to the DVD, tell your browser to put its cache in /tmp, which is not saved. In SeaMonkey, go to
Edit -> Preferences -> (the little arrow to the left of the word) Advanced -> Cache
, click on
Choose folder
then navigate to /tmp.
2. The same appllies if you download your mail from a server to a mail client in Puppy. Deleted mail is not actually deleted, so the "deleted" mail can gradually take over your OS. I don't use a mail client (I use Yahoo mail) so I can't help you there. You will have to figure out the best strategy that prevents mail from cluttering up your multisession DVD.
3. You can save as many sessions as you like until the DVD is full, but so many saved sessions will take forever to load when the DVD boots. When this becomes a problem, you can "defragment" all those saved sessions and reduce them back to a single saved session by burning a fresh new multisession DVD and then saving to it, the same way as you made the first multisession DVD from a multisession CD. If you use a DVD+RW you can even keep using the same disk, but it might be a better idea to use DVD+R instead so that the old DVD becomes your backup.
4. To minimize boot time, I only save Puppy-related stuff (settings and installed programs) on the DVD. Other stuff I save on a USB flash memory I leave plugged in but only mount when I need it.

A little over a year ago, AMD released the ATI
Radeon HD 5000 family of graphics products and by doing so, AMD became the first company to offer DirectX 11 compatibility when Windows 7 was launched. This was a big deal and over the past year AMD has successfully released eleven video cards in the Radeon HD 5000 series and sold more than 25 million DX11 video cards. What is really interesting is that NVIDIA is still releasing more cards in their GeForce 400 series of products. NVIDIA has just five DirectX 11 cards released and the company still does not have a solid top-to-bottom DirectX 11 product stack like AMD does. AMD on the other hand is going to be releasing their next generation of GPUs today! The first two cards that are being released are the AMD Radeon HD 6870 and
AMD Radeon HD 6850 graphics cards. Unlike in past years AMD won't be starting with their flagship video cards, but rather a pair of cards that are positioned in the "Gamers' Sweet Spot" as they like to call it.
The Radeon HD 5800 series was the first DirectX11 technology on the market. With a six month lead time over NVIDIA, AMD has captured 90 percent of the DX11 market. 25 million units sold is a pretty significant number, and something they want to hang on to.
The first and most important thing to notice is that these are now AMD Radeon graphics cards. ATI is finally gone from product naming. Looking at the design goals for "Barts", AMD wanted to have the performance of an Radeon HD 5800 series card at a lower power and lower price point. Simultaneously improving performance and functionality in areas like tessellation, image quality, Eyefinity, CrossFireX, and video decode. What they came away with is a very compelling package.
They were able to improve tessellation, add in a new Anti-Aliasing mode, improve efficiency for DirectCompute and gaming, and in turn still add value for gamers by lowering the price without killing performance.
In the overall scheme of things not much has changed with the die itself. The UVD engine has been updated to UVD 3, HDMI 1.4a is on board for 3D Blu-ray. The biggest changes we noticed is that there is now an improved Tesselator Engine and that there are fewer Stream Processors (SIMD Engines) compared to the Radeon HD 5800 series. To compensate for this AMD has employed a second Ultra Threaded Dispatch Processor.
This has added incredible performance efficiency to the die. On the same processing node of 40nm, AMD was able to go from 2.15 Billion Transistors to just 1.7 Billion. Overall die size is down close to 24%! It's not often that you shrink the number of Texture Units and Stream Processors and get an increase in performance! Let's take a look at the pricing and features.

Need my pigs back for the Holidays!
Hi there! Got a question for ya on getting some hogs back for a bit of fun. A few months ago my inlaws started complaining about the hogs tearing up their property. It's 20 acres of flat pasture with cows and horses. I was doing a fair job of baiting and shooting 1 here and there, but was trying to not run them off until after Christmas which is the time both my son-in-laws will be itching to hunt them. BUT, wouldn't ya know it... I caught the lead sow of 1 of 2 known sounders in the trap 1 day, and 2 days later, caught 3 of her younguns in the same trap! Not my plans, as I was looking for a particular boar in that trap, but pigs never follow plans, now do they! Naturally, this has run all but a couple of random late night boars away. We don't keep the same hours. I just found out, a neighbor to this property has suddenly had pigs on HER place within the last couple of weeks. Hmmm...
So, I need to bait them back for the Holidays... This other property is 200 yards from my nearest location I can place a feeder which will be a "no-shoot" zone and 700 yards from the feeder they were hitting before. Keep in mind any baiting has to be done around cows and I already fenced the 1 feeder mentioned. What would your plans be based on the bit of info I tossed out there? Should it matter, this is an hour south of Houston, 20+ acres of flatland next to thick woods. Lots of distraction, as in, oil refinery, 4 lane highway, beer joints, etc, all within cussin' range so noise and distractions don't apply quite as stringent as it might for many of you. Largest on trail cam is likely barely 200 pounds, or, 24 inches at the shoulder. Just FYI. Oh, and don't tell my inlaws I'm trying to get pigs to show back up on their place! They think I'm doing a helluva job.

What are you baiting with? Dry corn isn't my favorite but sour corn is. one bag of corn makes 3 5 gallon buckets. I add one small packet of yeast in each added first then corn then fill to cover corn. Careful not to lose your yeast to over filling. Let it sit at least a week . 2 is better. More on application when not using this phone to type.

In the sour corn category, I've tried different mixes of yeast, beer, sugar, boiled water, and koolaid from time to time. I've put it on the ground directly under the feeder, on trails coming out of the woods, and at this time there's some in a 5 gallon bucket with the lid screwed on with holes drilled in it next to my regular feeder. Livestock loves it as well as diesel, but to date, I've gotten as many hits on dry corn from HEB (some apple mix I think) as with anything else so I've been keeping it simple. Sometimes they dabble in it, most times they walk by it to destroy half an acre at a time rooting. I'm competing with something and I don't know what it is or how to make mine better. Of course, that was before running most of them off. Now, it's even MORE difficult.

First I left out two key parts of actually brewing the bait... After several hours of the initial filling, the dry corn will have absorbed water so a little topping up may be needed, after this, very little if any will be needed...
Covering to keep out critters is suggested but DO NOT LATCH A LID WITH SEAL TIGHT ON THE BUCKET!!! IT VERY WELL CAN EXCEED PRESSURE CAPABILITY OF THE BUCKET!!!
Using water that is too hot will kill the yeast cooties...
As for other ingredients, I have seen some recipes that look like a real assault on the olfactory system... But I, as both a trapper and a hog dogger who uses bait, I will say that the results, while maybe not the absolute best, were the best trade-off with "risk" vs. reward... More than my gag reflex is at risk... In my area, I could be drawing in black bears too and a landowner might be quick to tear up our land access agreement as as soon as he sees a few bears at a stinking foul bait bile (none you mentioned seem extreme but some I have seen/smelled were BADDDD!!!!)...
Here are a couple application tips I feel (by laws of physics alone) add productivity to the concept...
Digging post holes and filling with corn then a dirt cap with some corn with a liberal dribble of juice on the area surrounding the hole can hold hogs a longer time than just on the ground obviously... But I feel it is a louder way to feed with the rooting and grunting that it may bring in more pigs as their hearing is not far behind their nose in ability... And a bonus for you and a negative to the feeding hogs, they are much less able to hear you while engaged in a noisy activity... And less able to smell your approach with their face buried in the rooted soil than when simply eating kernels off the top...
Long distance hog callin' by scent...
Here is my favorite tip to share as it is obvious, often not considered, yet indisputable...
As you apply your sour wet corn in what ever fashion you wish... SAVE THE JUICE!!! Drain it back into the bucket!!! Then when you can scoop juice only, sling it up as high and far up into the surrounding foliage... If this is a sparse proposition, use rags soaked in the juice and put up on limbs or whatever you can as high as possible (be able to remove or it is litter when done)...
This will but the scent higher up so it is easier to be caught in any breeze and being above the ground more, it will travel much further before being excessively dispersed...
I feel hogs will home in on a good scent from miles away with their super sense of smell so get your bait scent further and faster than the scent of others bait or natural food offerings...

Brent, THAT'S what I'm after! Thanks much, man! I see I likely killed the last batch of sour with the hot water. Heating in the sun is the common way so I suspected that was the "simple" way and starting hot would work. With your explanation I see the error of that. It stunk, but not so much.
And yeah, the lid was screwed on a bucket but it has a ton of holes drilled in it to send the smell out.
I now have some $3.75/sixpack beer sitting on the desk. Milwaulkee Best Premium. I don't drink (for no particular reason) but that just sounds like nasty stuff! Time to go brew some stink, thanks again to all, but keep the ideas coming!

Yep, "brewing some stink" does sound like some bathroom humor! OK, being new here I'll try to keep it PC, but don't get used to it as that won't last long... I don't do "PC".
Now that things are brewing, how do I tell when it's done? Yesterday, it smelled like a good whiskey. This morning, my shop smells like a brewery and there's a bee doing the backstroke in it. The smell is less pleasant but not terrible. Cold weather is coming in a couple days so what are the growing stages of this stuff? The other time I mixed some, I put it in the sun and a few days later, it was a bit ripe so I called it quits. How's it *really* done?

Being where I am I never lost any little yeast cooties to freeze...
With the beer it isn't so pleasant... I do not take offense to the straight sour mash recipe but I like those sort of scents
7 days is a good point to begin considering it usefully soured at mid 70's to 90's temps I did notice considerably slower souring when temps were lower for extended times...
At those warmer temps, I really noticed an improvement in potency at 14 days, I really never got to sour much longer than that as I had traps to keep baited...
I did the beer thing about the same it just didn't seem to improve results enuff to "de-flower" the scent of my real sour mash which, at 14 days, was obviously just a warm bath away from a bottle...
Disclaimer... I do not condone the violation of any BATFE regs including the distillation of spirits without payin' yer taxes... I only know how to make unaged corn liquor 'cuz I watch History Channel...

Cinnamon-spiced pumpkin cookies with Hershey kisses pressed into the centers. You can use any flavor kiss you like but in keeping with the spirit of the cookie and the season I highly recommend the pumpkin spice flavored version – if you can find them.
The pumpkin spice kisses have white chocolate in the centers with a pumpkin spice coating on the outside. They are best eaten with the help of a cookie.
It was my first taste of these seasonal Hershey kisses and they didn't live up to the hype. Too artificial tasting for my liking. When I joined them with the soft, cinnamon sugar covered cookie they transformed into something way better. I couldn't get enough. The two together are perfect.
The artificial flavor is hardly discernible among the warm spices in the cookie, the subtle pumpkin flavoring and the cinnamon sugar they're rolled in. All combined they melt-in-your mouth making for one of the most irresistible cookies on earth.
Do you make special treats for Halloween? Do tell.
Cinnamon-spiced pumpkin cookies {eggless} with Hershey kisses pressed into the centers.
- Line 2 large cookie sheets with silpats or parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer beat the butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the brown sugar together on medium speed 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin and vanilla beat on low 1 minute.
- In a small bowl whisk together the flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, cloves, ginger, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add to the sugar mixture and beat on low just until combined. Refrigerate 1 hour (or longer).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with 2 tablespoons cinnamon in a wide, shallow bowl.
- Scoop up level tablespoons of the dough and roll into a ball then roll in cinnamon sugar. Place on cookie sheets 2 inches apart and bake 12 minutes.
- Remove from oven and press a kiss into the center of each one. Cool completely on wire racks. Store in tightly covered containers up to a week.

Several students and administrators at Lone Star College-Montgomery, along with the support of local Rotarians, are making plans to form a new Rotaract club.
Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs are either community or university based, and they are sponsored by a local Rotary club. The Rotary Club of The Woodlands is already on board in support of the Rotaract Club of LSC-Montgomery.
Area residents interested in joining the club or learning more about it are encouraged to attend a club meeting, which are on the first and third Monday of each month, at 6 p.m., in room B102 (in the Health Science Center) at LSC-Montgomery.
"We are excited to be a host college for Rotaract," said Steve Scheffler, dean of college relations and a co-sponsor of the new club. "Rotaract is all about linking our up and coming leaders to community service and outreach. We are seeking interested college and university students, as well as young professionals interested in that mission."
Scheffler, who is also a member of the Rotary Club of The Woodlands, said that in addition to community outreach, the club would also focus on professional development opportunities for its members.
"We want to create well-rounded members who not only give back, but also learn from those more experienced professionals in the community," said Scheffler. "Ultimately, Rotaract can serve as a springboard toward membership in Rotary."
As one of Rotary's most significant and fastest-growing service programs, with more than 8,400 clubs in about 170 countries and geographical areas, Rotaract has become a worldwide phenomenon. All Rotaract efforts begin at the local, grassroots level, with members addressing their communities' physical and social needs while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.
Mary Matteson-Parrish, president of the Rotary Club of The Woodlands, is excited about the formation of Rotaract.
"For a long time, we have been interested in having a Rotaract Club as part of our Rotary club, particularly since we have such an active Interact club in our five area high schools," said Matteson-Parrish. "We have the second largest Interact combined club in the world. It would follow that some of these young people would be interested in participating in Rotaract at the college level. We are very excited that LSC-Montgomery has initiated the steps necessary to get this started and look forward to participating at the advisory level and hopefully have some of our other Rotary clubs in Montgomery County participate."
For more information, please contact Steve Scheffler at (936) 273-7224, or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
LSC-Montgomery is located at 3200 College Park Drive, one-half mile west of Interstate 45, between Conroe and The Woodlands. For more information about the college, call 936.273.7000, or visit LoneStar.edu/montgomery.
With 78,000 students in credit classes, and a total enrollment of more than 90,000, Lone Star College System is the largest institution of higher education in the Houston area and the fastest-growing community college system in the nation. Dr. Richard Carpenter is the chancellor of LSCS, which consists of six colleges including LSC-CyFair, LSC-Kingwood, LSC-Montgomery, LSC-North Harris, LSC-Tomball and LSC-University Park, five centers, LSC-University Center at Montgomery, LSC-University Center at University Park, Lone Star Corporate College, and LSC-Online.

Hi! I'm Adithya Varadarajan and I'm a user experience designer (among many other things). Photography is a hobby of mine that ties into another passion of mine, traveling, as you will see from the variety of places that my pictures are from.
Equipment --
I started off like most people do with a point and shoot (my parents' Canon Powershot S40) and then got my own Sony Cybershot S40 (weird that its the same model number but different brand). Around 2005 we got the family DSLR, a canon EOS Digital Rebel XT/350D (with kit 18-55mm lens) and I love to play around with it every time I go back home to India. I also used a Canon A710IS until December 2009.
Current Gear -- Nikon D90 with the Nikon 18-200VR II and 35mm 1.8. I also tend to borrow my parents' Sony RX100 when the mood strikes.

Morale is so low at the embattled Hollywood Police Department that some officers actually want the Broward Sheriff's Office to take over the agency, says union leader Jeff Marano.
He points to a flier circulating around town that spells out why a merger makes sense, including better pay and benefits.
"Our city DOES NOT LIKE US," the flier screams. "They think we are glorified secretaries and should work for minimum wage with a 401K!"
Marano expects union members to meet Monday to debate whether they might back a takeover.
Former chief Chad Wagner retired in January and is now working as a captain with the Broward Sheriff's Office.
Marano says that has nothing to do with the talk of a merger.
In 2011, Hollywood forced police and firefighters to take 12.5 percent pay cuts after declaring financial urgency. The same year, Hollywood voters approved drastic changes to the city's employee pension plans.
The flier did not impress Commissioner Dick Blattner, who believes just two or three malcontents were behind it.
Blattner had a message for whoever wrote the flier: If you want to go to BSO, go. But don't expect the entire department to go with you.
"We are the third-largest city in Broward," Blattner said. "Why would we want to go to BSO?"
This week, resident Jerry Viskocil complained to the commission about corruption within the police department, but said Thursday he opposed a merger.
"Don't kid yourself that BSO is any better," he said.
The flier did not surprise resident Ann Ralston, a fierce defender of the police department.
"I'm surprised fire has not put one out too," she said.
Commissioners had considered merging the fire department with the Sheriff's Office, but rejected the idea last year after learning it would not save the city money.

Kinda reminds me of US politics right now: Rational people make rational arguments but irrational people are immune to facts so they aren't swayed. The irrational arguments make no sense at all so they cannot sway any rational people. But that's no reason not to repeat argument->counterargument over and over ad nauseam.
Let me know when there's a winner.
Maybe you don't like being reminded that after over 500 pedalling studies by scientists, cycling's two major problems are still in existence today.
This type of advice from the experts that appears each year in magazines is of no benefit to those who suffer from chronic lower back pain when riding their bikes. I know because I was one of those who had to endure the torture.
More likely an issue created to build demand for physiotherapy and bike fits. Like the 500 studies on pedalling that show you are wrong I would ask you supply data that back pain is such an issue and that your method could solve it.

I like that it is close to the dog park, post office and grocery store. The management staff are very friendly Read More and the maintenance team fixes any issues in a timely manner. But we feel that it is over priced for the quality of materials in the apartment. The dishwasher is a joke. The front door was installed crooked so it doesn't latch shut. For the amount of insulation they say was used we shouldn't be able to hear our upstairs neighbors talking but we can. More street lights would be nice.

It is by far the best apartment complex in the quad cities. It's in the best par to town, the grounds and apar Read Moretments are beautiful. The service I received was always perfect! There weren't any nasty neighbors in the community. It has mostly older mature people living there, I never had issues with loudness, or partying.

The sadness, frustration and disappointment were palpable as Brazil fans watched Germany score goal after goal after goal (after goal after goal after goal after goal) at the World Cup semifinals in Belo Horizonte. Germany's 7-1 winning margin over the home team was the largest ever in a World Cup semifinal.
Brazilians - among soccer's most exuberant fans - covered their mouths first in shock, then in horror. Tears rolled down many faces, smearing makeup in the national colors of blue, green and yellow.
''We wanted to make the people happy ... unfortunately we couldn't,'' said Brazil defender David Luiz, who left the field dejectedly. ''We apologize to all Brazilians.''
Here's a collection of images showing fans' reactions.

Ruling allowed NSA search of domestic email
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration quietly won permission from a surveillance court in 2011 for the National Security Agency to search deliberately for Americans' communications in its huge databases of intercepted phone calls and emails, according to a published report.
The Washington Post reported Saturday that officials in 2011 got the court to lift the ban on those kinds of searches, which the court imposed in 2008 at the government's request. The court also extended the length of time the NSA is allowed to retain intercepted communications from five to six years.
The search authority has been used, the Post reported, noting that the permission to search and keep data longer expanded the NSA's authority in significant ways without public debate or any specific authority from Congress. The newspaper cited interviews with government officials and documents that include a recently released 2011 opinion by U.S. District Judge John D. Bates, then chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
The court decision allowed the NSA "to query the vast majority" of its communications databases using the email addresses and phone numbers of Americans and legal residents without a warrant, according to Bates' opinion. The queries must be "reasonably likely to yield foreign intelligence information." And the results are subject to the NSA's privacy rules.
The White House on Sunday directed questions on the issue to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
The court in 2008 imposed a wholesale ban on such searches at the government's request, said Alex Joel, civil liberties protection officer at ODNI. He told the Post the government included this restriction "to remain consistent with NSA policies and procedures that NSA applied to other authorized collection activities."
But in 2011, "we did ask the court" to lift the ban to more rapidly and effectively identify relevant foreign intelligence communications, ODNI general counsel Robert S. Litt said. "We wanted to be able to do it," he said, referring to the searching of Americans' communications without a warrant.
Joel said the authority would be needed in certain situations, such as when the NSA learns of a rapidly developing terrorist plot and suspects that a U.S. person may be a conspirator. Searching for communications to, from or about that person can help assess that person's involvement and whether he is in touch with terrorists who are surveillance targets, he said.
A pair of Democratic senators, Ron Wyden of Oregon and Mark Udall of Colorado, warned last year the administration had a "back-door search loophole" that enabled the NSA to scour intercepted communications for those of Americans. They introduced legislation to require a warrant, but could not disclose the court's authorization or whether the NSA was already conducting such searches under classification rules.
The searches take place under a surveillance program Congress authorized in 2008 under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. In 2011, the Court approved procedures presented by the government that enable NSA to query information collected under Section 702 of the act, using identifiers of people from the U.S. The NSA may only use queries that are reasonably likely to yield foreign intelligence information, and this query activity is overseen by ODNI and the Justice Department and reported to Congress and the court, according to ODNI, which says these queries are only a small fraction of the overall query activity.
But some are concerned that a warrant for each target would no longer be required. That means communications with Americans could be picked up without a court first determining that there is probable cause that the people they were talking to were terrorists, spies or "foreign powers."
Udall told the Post that is why it is important to require a warrant before searching for Americans' data, adding, "Our founders laid out a roadmap where Americans' privacy rights are protected before their communications are seized or searched — not after the fact."
