More on the Wellstone death rally: Trunk and Rocket Man have already made the most salient points about the disgusting memorial rally for Senator Wellstone. As an aside, I would add that the event may have been, in part, a release of pent up frustration among middle-aged Democrats who yearn to be back in 1972 nominating George McGovern. To Democrats like Clinton, Gore, and Harkin, Wellstone must have seemed like the one true-believer who never "sold out" his McGovernite ideals, not even when locked in his tight race with Norm Coleman. In paying tribute to Wellstone, these faux "New Democrats" apparently couldn't resist returning to their McGovernite roots and putting on a display that, like the 1972 Democratic convention, alienated mainstream voters. I'm not denying that the primary force at work was sheer opportunism. But it's possible that the subconscious desire to roll back the years to a time when left-wing Democrats could be unabashed left-wing Democrats helps explain the lapse of judgment that led to Tuesday's shocking display.
UPDATE: Deacon, you are right on the button. Life has been pretty depressing for leftists for quite a while– Reagan, the Berlin Wall, the fall of Communism, prosperity in the West, and so on–but there was something about Wellstone that took aging leftists everywhere back to their roots. For one brief moment (not so brief, of course, for those of us who sat through the whole three-hour marathon), the leftists could pretend that they were back in Selma, Alabama or congregating on the Mall to oppose the VietNam war. They have been yearning for this for a long time.

NEW YORK, NY – A British woman appeared on the Tyra Banks Show to talk about her unique condition: she has two vaginas!
Lauren Williams of Essex decided to go public for the first time with her bizarre medical condition. She found out, at the age of 25, that she was in fact born with two vaginas!
As she explains in the interview, "I've got two uteruses. Just one to each (fallopian tube), then they go down to two cervixes, and then it did go down to the two vaginas." She was finally diagnosed after suffering through 21-day periods, which she will continue to have.
Her doctor's biggest concern was that if she were to ever get pregnant, she has to be cautious to not get pregnant in the second uterus as well!
Check out her interview below:

Sep 2, 2010 SearchUnifiedCommunications | [These announcements] fit Lifesize's market profile well ─ affordable, easy-to-use, high-definition video solutions for business. It puts Lifesize in a competitive stance compared with the mobile offers from other video vendors, like Cisco/Tandberg Movi, Polycom CMA, Radvision Scopia, and VidyoDesktop. I believe that affordable, easy-to-use, interoperable desktop video will be a tipping point for video use in business, and adoption of this set capabilities by businesses will test that hypothesis.

I am the queen of multi-tasking! I can talk on the phone, prepare dinner, and wipe a bottom all in one fell swoop. Just for clarification it was my kid's bottom, not mine. And yes, I wash my hands thoroughly before making dinner.
Note: Sometimes I don't posses a filter. The above paragraph is quite a lovely example!
But I digress. I am working on pulling together the contents of my next Hold The Gluten podcast (to be recorded this week, so stay tuned), but could not wait another millisecond to share my latest creation. In preparation for Easter Dinner, I wanted to experiment in making my first gluten free cake. This August will mark my four year "gluten free" anniversary, however, I have yet to delve into the cake arena. After a huge success using buttermilk in my baking, I felt mentally prepared to work on a gluten free carrot cake. I cannot stress this enough — this cake was the moistest cake I have ever eaten! I sang songs of praise about my carrot cake. I made up a dance about my carrot cake. I ate with wild abandon not caring about calories or using a fork. Shhh, I think the secret is the combination of buttermilk, applesauce, and grated carrots.
Tonight I finished the last of the cake. In four shorts days, I ate an entire two layer carrot cake by myself. What the heck, I was making up for lost time!
Gluten Free Carrot Cake
1 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup millet flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon mace
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup canola oil
2 cups sugar
6 ounces of applesauce
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrot
1 cup shredded coconut
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom and sides of two 9 inch cake pans with shortening (I used Spetrum Organic). Sift first eight ingredients in a bowl. Set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat eggs, buttermilk, canola oil, sugar, applesauce, and vanilla extract on low speed until combined. Slowly add sifted dry ingredients into bowl until incorporated (continue to beat on low speed). Fold in carrot, coconut, and pecans. Pour batter into greased cake pans. Bake 30 minutes (or until wooden tester inserted into center of cakes comes out clean).
Cream Cheese Icing
2 8-ounce packages of cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup butter (softened)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups sifted confectioners sugar
Using an electric mixer, cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add in the vanilla extract. Continue mixing on low speed while slowly adding the sifted confectioners sugar.
*Note: The Cream Cheese Icing is from Janni on allrecipes.com. I changed the amount of vanilla extract, but kept all else the same (why mess with a great frosting recipe!).

MCMC Perfume Oil - Kept
Perfumer Anne McCain studied natural aromatherapy at the Grasse Institute in the south of France and went on to blend her own line of fragrances under her brand MCMC. She mixes and bottles her own fragrances by hand in her Brooklyn studio in small batches and her fragrances reflect memories and moments and therefore are layered and deep. Sold individually.
Kept - This fragrance is an ode to oneself. Turning the notion of a kept woman on its head, the fragrance encourages women to look to themselves to evoke love. Inspired by this truth, Anne got a tattoo of an antique key on one of her hands. The most feminine of MCMC Fragrances' collection, Kept is romantic with hints of rock n' roll. The long-lasting fragrance is built around red roses and black tea, with subtle notes of clove, leather, and amber.

Ryan Williams, Domer Sports Report
Notre Dame Football
Is Jimmy Clausen a bust or is he a maturing superstar? I will save my opinion for the comment section and let you, the reader make the call.
Clausen's sophomore stats looked like this: 268/440 60.9 percent for 3172 yards, 25 TDs, 17 ints, 132.49 rating.
Let's take a look at the second full season of some of the more high profile QBs of the last five years.
Let's start with a couple Heisman Trophy winners.
We all know of Tim Tebow's accomplishments. He has been one of the biggest game-changing players at his position. He seems to be able to put his team on his shoulders and will them to victory. See Tebow's speech after Ole Miss loss last year. Tebow's sophomore year was phenomenal. It was his Heisman winning year. His stats on the year read like a one man show.He completed 217 of 317 passes for 3132 yards. He threw 29 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions. He also rushed for 833 yards and 22 TDs. This gave him a ridicules passer rating of 177.8.
How about Matt Leinart? Leinart's third year in the system but second as a starter was a National Championship winning year for USC. It was also Leinart's Heisman Trophy winning year. Leinart completed 269 passes out of 412 attempts for 3322 yards. He threw 33 tds with only 6 interceptions. He had a well above average 156.5 QB rating.
Those two are examples of the best of the best. Now let's take a look at a couple mere mortals.
Mathew Stafford had a very good collegiate career. Good enough to garner the first overall pick in last years NFL draft. Stafford's sophomore campaign netted him a completion percentage of 55.7 by completing 194 passes out of 348 attempts. He threw for 2523 yards with 19 TDs and 10 interceptions which netted him a rating of 128.9.
And last but not least lets compare Notre Dames own Brady Quinn. Brady's sophomore season saw him complete 191 passes out of 353 attempts for 2586 yards. He had a completion percentage of 54.1 Quinn threw for 17 TDs and 10 interceptions which led to a passer rating of 125.78.
These are strictly individual accomplishments and take into account none of the value of the surrounding team they played on.
Clausen is bested in every category by the two Heisman Trophy winners. He bested the other two QBs in every category with the exception of the interceptions.
So I ask you: Bust or Maturing Superstar?

Overview of Problem
After creating a share using nautilus-share, the status of the share displayed by nautilus does not persist through logouts or reboots. The actual state of the share is correct but is not displayed correctly in nautilus.
Steps to Reproduce
Open nautilus > Right click select a directory > Sharing Options > Select the following options:
Share this folder
Allow other people to write in this folder
Guest access
Create Share
Then reboot or logoff and login again.
My Results
Nautilus-share creates the following entry into /var/lib/samba/usershares :
and creates the following "shared" icon: After repeated reboot or re-login the status reported by nautilus changes to this: The icon suggests that it is not shared. The Properties > Share tab indicates that it is not shared but the /var/lib/samba/usershares definition has not changed - It is shared, and a remote user does in fact have access.#VERSION 2
I have found an ubuntu bug report that address the Share Icon problem but not the properies tab problem:

"My Scottish Borders".
|Reiver Statue, Galashiels
|Border Reiver
O young Lochinvar is come out of the west,
Through all the wide Border his steed was the best;
And save his good broadsword he weapons had none,
He rode all unarm'd, and he rode all alone.
So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war,
Other ballads I will feature further along this A-Z journey, so look out for:
- The Dowie Dens of Yarrow
- The Douglas Tragedy
- Muckle Mou'ed Meg
This word originated in the Scottish Borders. meaning "black rent" that is an illegal payment whereby ordinary men made a payment (in cash or kind) to a powerful Reiver in return for being left alone - in other words protection money.
More fascinating facts on the Scottish Borders:
- The Border town of BERWICK -UPON-TWEED is in England, but in the Anglo-Scottish Wars, it changed hands 14 times before Scotland relinquished the fight in 1482. As a quirk, though, its football team play in the Scottish League.
- Writer JOHN BUCHAN (1875-1940) grew up in Broughton, Peeblesshire where his father was the local minister. He wrote over 60 books, the best known being "Thirty Nine Steps". He was also a noted lawyer, soldier, historian, politician and diplomant, becoming Governor General of Canada, assuming the title of Lord Tweedsmuir in 1935.
- ISOBEL BAILLIE (1895-1983) was born in Hawick, Roxburghshire and became an internationally renowned soprano, best known for her interpretation of oratorio, especially Handel's "Messiah". In 1933 she became the first British artist to perform at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
- THOMAS BRISBANE, although born on the west coast, had many Borders connections, through his wife Anna Maria Macdougall of Maktersoun, near Kelso. He was a founder member of the Tweedside Physical and Antiquarian Society and built an observatory in the ground of Makerstoun House. A monument to him in the local churchyard is in the shape of a sundial. He became Governor of New South Wales 1821-25, reforming the penal code ad establishing a constitution for the Australian colony. The Brisbane River and the city built on its banks was named after him.
- PLACE NAMES THAT APPEAL - I love names that conjure up an image or that roll off the tongue. In my own area of Roxburghshire in the Scottish Borders there is Bloodhopehead (the mind boggles at what might have happened there!); Brockhoperig - the ridge by the valley with the badgers, and Blackcleuch - with "cleuch" meaning ravine, gorge, cliff, crag. "Ch" is pronounced as the "ch" in loch.
On the other hand would I really want to live in a place called Boghall, Bogfoot or Bogside?

Good for Jerry Manuel not to tinker with his struggling line-up by dropping Jose Reyes to the three hole. At least let Reyes get into some kind of groove before doing anything.
Personally, I still want Reyes leading off where he can do the most good. Better to leave Reyes where he is. Let's look at it this way. If Reyes doesn't bat third they still have a good option in David Wright. But, if Reyes doesn't bat first, where do they go?
Why create a problem in the leadoff slot if you don't have to?
Here's tonight's line-up for the Mets (2-4):
Jose Reyes, SS
Luis Castillo, 2B
David Wright, 3B
Jason Bay, LF
Jeff Francoeur, RF
Fernando Tatis, 1B
Rod Barajas, C
Angel Pagan, CF
John Maine, RP
NOTES: Lefties Johan Santana and Oliver Perez will stay on schedule, meaning the latter won't be skipped to keep the former at every fifth day. … Jon Niese goes tomorrow followed by Mike Pelfrey Thursday against the Rockies. … Carlos Delgado, who is rehabbing from hip surgery in Colorado, visited the clubhouse this afternoon. … Many of the Mets, who are hitting .245 as a team and .189 with runners in scoring position, took early batting practice. … As a bonding exercise, most of the team took in the Nuggets game Monday night.
NOTE FROM ME: For the next few months I am taking a night class. I will be in the Chat Room tonight, but won't get there until nine. So, you'll have to do the first inning without me. Thanks-JD

Management of diabetes involves making decisions on changes in food, insulin, and exercise. These decisions are made based on data from blood glucose monitoring, and in particular, the patterns gleaned from that data.
Until the advent of personal computers, people with diabetes and their health care teams relied on paper records to determine these patterns. Almost all blood glucose meters have data ports to connect to computers and come with software to analyze the data gathered from blood glucose monitoring. Many clinics ask patients to bring their meters to their quarterly clinic visits and download the data into a central database.
If you have a personal computer and a meter with a data port, it's worth reviewing the many software packages available to help you manage your diabetes. We have a listing at Computerizing Your Meter.
This table shows how people have answered this question over the years. In the last year, we've seen a small increase in the number of people reporting using a paper log (46% to 50%), with the number of people using the meter's memory with a computer essentially unchanged (32% versus 33%). Using meter memory has been shown to improve outcomes -- see Dr. Irl Hirsh's report at the 2005 Diabetes Technology Meeting about the benefits of using downloaded meter data to help patients improve their HbA1c.

After the near euphoria of the Hong Kong Vinexpo in May and, given the steady flow of news about growing wine consumption in China, it would have been reasonable to expect the run-up to the Olympics to have been a boom period for the Chinese wine market. Little could be further from the truth. With just one month to go before the first fireworks would be lit at the opening ceremony, hotels and restaurants in the major cities were far quieter than usual. Some major hotels were admitting occupancy rates of under 60%, at a time when Beijing was about to see the opening of over 5,000 new hotel rooms in time for the Olympics.
The explanation for the empty restaurants was simple. The authorities' fear of terrorism (supposedly from Tibetans or Falun Gong) has fueled one of the heaviest clamp-downs on internal movement and the allocation of visas to foreigners. Anyone seeking a business visa in June and July discovered that they were almost unobtainable and most people with work-related reasons for traveling to China over this period did so with tourist visas, though even these were often provided slowly or sometimes not at all. Officially, from April 30 would-be tourists could be required to provide a letter from their employer stating that they were taking holiday leave between the arrival and departure dates shown on their airline ticket. There is no evidence of this rule being enforced, but tourists could also be asked to offer up a bank statement confirming a minimum of US $3,000, or showing (but not giving) US$700 in cash to the official in the visa office. These moves led to many Chinese-based businesses canceling meetings that involved overseas colleagues – or relocating those meetings to Hong Kong.
The low-key pre-Olympic mood was also attributable to widespread anti-Chinese sentiment in the west, in the wake of suppressed protests in Tibet and China's apparent support for a Sudanese regime that is widely blamed for the crisis in Darfur. This is also thought to have contributed to slower than expected sales of tickets for Olympic events. While it is unlikely that there will be many empty seats in the dazzling new stadiums, there are questions over how many will be filled with wine drinking foreigners.
The wine market is still coming to terms with the three-week imprisonment of a number of importers including Don St Pierre, managing partner of ASC Fine Wines, China's biggest and most prominent wine company. St Pierre, whose sales have grown from $5m in 2001 to $40m in 2006. was accused of falsifying prices to avoid customs duty. The case was finally settled with the payment of a $250,000 which Don St Pierre Senior, co-founder of the firm said represented just over 1% percent of the $22 million ASC had paid in import duties over the relevant period.
ASC and other firms accused by the authorities, deny any wrongdoing, but there are expectations within China that wine prices may rise over the coming months. This is, in any case, highly likely in the light of the increase in the value of imports over the first quarter of 2008. According to the Chinese website 21food.com, the volume of wine that passed through customs was actually 4.9% lower during the first quarter of 2008 than in 2007 (a year when, according to China Wines Information, China imported 4.5 million cases of wine, over twice amount shipped in 2006). The average value of the 43.490 litres, however rose to $2.1 per litre, 71% above the figure recorded 12 months earlier.
Most members of the Chinese wine trade are waiting for the dust to settle after the Olympics, but optimism for the short term future remains high. Retail distribution is growing fast, with the arrival of new players such as Tesco and the reportedly planned opening of chains of wine shops by several Chinese wineries. As Ethan Perk of dynamic importers Jebsen International pointed out, the market is evolving very rapidly. By his estimate, only 40% of the current imports are being handled by long-established companies such as ASC, Torres, Somergate and his own, which would, a few years ago, have imported almost all of the wine that came into China.

A concert by a holiday-show supergroup featuring singers from several 1990s and 2000s acts, scheduled for Sands Bethlehem Event Center, has been canceled.
The Band of Merrymakers, featuring Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray, singer Lisa Loeb of "Stay (I Miss You)" fame, Better Than Ezra lead singer Kevin Griffin, Neon Trees front man Tyler Glenn and songwriters/producer Sam Hollander (Train, One Direction, The Fray), was to have played the center Nov. 25.
But Ticketmaster now lists the show as canceled. The event center's website had another show, Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience, tickets for which went on sale last week, scheduled for that day.

Ok, take it for what its worth, A friend of mine who works with a local Sports radio talk show here in So Cal
informed me today that the NHL has already started on the 07-08 schedule, with no change in teams.
He's VERY Reliable, again, take it for what its worth. Thats what i was told.
When the Pens were in bankruptcy, the NHL made 3 different schedules; one with them in Pittsburgh, one with them on the west coast and another without them at all in case the team was dissolved. So, the schedule being made isn't a big deal as far as the NHL is concerned.
Like i said, take it for what its worth.
the way i understood it is the DEAL is already done, and the NHL has already been notified. The two sides are ironing out small details and language and then the announcement will be made.
This sounds pretty DONE to me

University Connections Information
Connections is a two-credit academic course designed to ease your transition to Utah State and to prepare you for your college experience. It is an optional course, but highly recommended if you want to gain an edge and learn exactly what it takes to be successful at USU.
In your Connections course, you will cover everything from how to develop the best college study and time management skills, to how to work with professors and use the Library. You will also discuss why you are enrolled in higher education in the first place, and how you can make the most out of the coming years. You will meet many new friends within your class and at the evening activities.
USU first-year students talk about Connections
"My Connections instructor was helpful in making the
transition to Utah State University, because she talked to the class a lot about what college life is like and what is expected of college students, as well as what we should expect as college students."
"I feel much more prepared for college than some of my freshman friends who didn't take the class."
"The required literature was the best part of my connections class. I enjoyed both the book and the discussions we had."
"My instructor was very effective in helping me transition to Utah State University. She helped us know how to read a class syllabus and encouraged us to stay organized. She gave us a taste of different programs we can become involved in, such as the Honors Program, the Service-Learning Program, and the Study Abroad Program. She helped us know what to expect and what we needed to do to be ready for college."
When you have finished the Connections course, you should be able to answer the following questions:
Why am I here?
- What is an educated person? How does an educated person contribute to his or her community?
- What role does general education play in educating a person?
- What role does the major play in educating a person?
How do I best engage myself in the process of becoming an educated person?
- What does an intentional student look like?
- What competencies do I need to develop in order to succeed?
- What resources are available to help me succeed?
How do I become a fully engaged member of the university community?
- What opportunities are there for me to have fun and to become more invested in the university community? (clubs and organizations)
- What is a learning community, and how do I go about building one?
- What are the benefits of a common literature experience?

Gonzalez, Dodgers rout Padres
Los Angeles, CA – Adrian Gonzalez smacked a pair of two run homers as the Los Angeles Dodgers cruised to a 9-2 victory over the San Diego Padres.
Hanley Ramirez had two doubles, two RBI and a pair of runs scored, while Yasiel Puig finished 4-for-5 with an RBI for the Dodgers, winners in three of their last four games.
Hyun-Jin Ryu (13-5) allowed just one run on eight hits while fanning six over 6 1/3 innings to snap a two-start losing skid.
Edinson Volquez, who was signed to a one-year deal earlier on Friday, made his LA debut. He gave up just one hit in one inning of relief. Volquez spent the past two seasons with the Padres before he was released on Aug. 27.
With the win and an Arizona loss, the Dodgers extended their lead atop the NL West to 10 1/2 games.
Logan Forsythe and Chris Denorfia drove in one run apiece for San Diego, losers in three of their last four.
Eric Stults (8-12) was pegged with the loss after giving up four runs on eight hits over 5 1/3 innings.
San Diego jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Jesus Guzman singled and scored on Forsythe's double to center field.
It would be all Los Angeles from there, however.
With one on an two outs in the bottom of the second, Ryu ripped a double to left field to score Mark Ellis. Puig followed with a base hit of his own to to plate Ryu and give the Dodgers a 2-1 edge.
Ramirez opened the third with a double and Gonzalez followed with his first homer of the game, a towering shot to left-center field.
The Dodgers plated five runs in the seveth to break the game open. Puig singled and Crawford walked to open the frame. Ramirez then smacked a bases- clearing double to left field. Gonzalez followed with his second long ball of the night and A.J. Ellis capped the inning with a solo shot to center to make it 9-1.
Denorfia singled home Alexi Amarista in the ninth to account for the final difference.
Game Notes
The Dodgers tied a club record for most win in a calendar month with 22 ... With the win, Los Angeles secured its eighth straight winning season ... Ryu is 6-2 over his last nine starts ... The Dodgers went 5-for-13 with runners in scoring position ... The Padres went 2-for-12 with RISP ... Stults is 3-9 on the road this season.

(CNN) -- After six months, 35 pounds of chicken breast and more than a hundred hours of exercising, Jason Dinant finally sees the fruits of his labor. There are six of them.
The left image shows Jason Dinant in January. The right one shows him six months after exercising and dieting.
Dinant, an iReport contributor who lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, revamped his lifestyle to get six-pack abs in six months.
Before, Dinant never exercised and frequently gorged on processed and junk food. Although he was already skinny, Dinant wanted to get a more chiseled figure for his 10-year high school reunion and his blog called Naked Boy News, where he comments on current events while standing shirtless.
Since January, CNNhealth has followed the progress of three iReport contributors, including Dinant, as they strive to meet their diet and fitness goals.
During the last six months, Dinant jogged, lifted weights and exercised his core. He gave up his favorite Peppermint Patties, chocolate bars and cookies in favor of zucchini, chicken breasts and 16 egg whites a day. He gave up his Coca-Cola for water.
"It has really become a way of life," Dinant said. "I've seen such good results. I feel so much better, seen such positive results. There's no way I can go back to junk food and not working out. It's been a life-changing experience." See Dinant's iReport submission.
Detractors called his goal shallow and told him to wear a shirt, but Dinant was not easily discouraged.
"If your friends say negative comments, don't pay attention," he said. "A lot of people aren't motivated to do this. It's not that they don't want you to succeed, but it's just they don't have the motivation to do it themselves. Sometimes friends unintentionally put negativity out there. Listen to your internal self and know not to give up."
Dinant's new abs have landed him a spot on the New York City Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride March, where he will ride a convertible (and show off his six-pack) on Sunday. His car is to be accompanied by rows of shirtless men.
But exercise physiologist Pete McCall, of the American Council on Exercise, showed concern when he saw Dinant's before-and-after photo. While McCall neither met nor examined Dinant, and viewed him only through photographs, he noted that Dinant looked a bit "emaciated." Dinant says he has lost 3 pounds.
People with too little body fat could be considered unhealthy, McCall said. He recommended that men have 7 to 8 percent body fat and that women have 12 to 14 percent.
"A six-pack should be the result of a consistent exercise program and a nutritious, well-balanced eating strategy, not the sole purpose of a training program and crash diet," he said.
Many mistake six-pack abs as a symbol for fitness. "Having big, defined muscles doesn't necessarily mean it's a harbinger of good health or mean they're strong," McCall said. "It's purely aesthetics."
When a client talks about getting a six-pack, McCall would ask, "How does that change your life? How does having defined abs make your life better? Are you stronger or more efficient at something?"
Dinant said the ab regimen helped him adopt a healthier diet, going from zero servings of fruits and vegetables to five a day.
"Now I crave fresh fruit and vegetables," Dinant said. "I will crave zucchini like a snack. I'll cut it up then steam it. I've been having peaches, apricots and plums. Plums are my new best friend."
Once a person has achieved a six-pack, he or she has to maintain the physique through routine daily exercise, McCall said.
For people who are trying to get healthier, McCall recommended taking on performance-based goals rather than aesthetic ones. Dancers and athletes have the best-toned bodies, "because they train for dance or sports," he said.
"Basically, form follows function," he said. "If you put your aesthetic appearance first, you're trying to train for the mirror. You're never 100 percent happy with what you see. You always notice a flaw."
McCall suggested forming goals such as being able to run a certain distance or doing a number of pull-ups or push-ups to shift the focus from appearances to fitness.
"I feel 100 percent comfortable with my body," Dinant said. "This is the best New Year's resolution I ever had in my entire life."

Thanks to police for quick response to robbery
I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of the police officers and detectives that responded to the robbery at Mom's Pizza on August 3rd.
My sister Kate was alone in the store when the robbery occurred. After a call to 911, officers and detectives, including a helicopter were swarming the area within minutes.
The first officer on the scene was bike patrol officer Arbiz. He was so kind to my sister and was the last one to leave with us after the initial investigation was over.
His compassion and kind words were very calming to us. We should all be thankful that he is here in Chestnut Hill.
Also, to all our neighbors and customers who have stopped in to express their concern, we thank you.
It is very heart warming to us that we are not just a store in your neighborhood but part of the community. I will forever be grateful that neither Kate, nor anyone in the area at the time were injured.

Suicide an opportunity for dialogue
Forty years ago this past March, my brother, my sister and I lost our father, Joe, to suicide. I, too, have suffered from the depression that felled our Dad. Now, at age 57, I look back and mourn that our father left us at 52 years old, a "young" man.
If my ballot position as a candidate for Philadelphia City Council's 8th District, in which the tragic death of Chestnut Hill College adjunct professor Alexandrov occurred, does nothing more than provide an opportunity to talk openly about depression and its profound effects, then my candidacy will have been worthwhile.
I grieve for the professor, his family, friends, colleague, students and our community. It's time to remove the shame attached to a mental illness amenable to treatment akin to
physical conditions like diabetes.
Let's talk.

An addendum to July technology issue
The articles about personal technology [Summer Technology Issue, July 29] were fun! I'd like to add to your list a website for classical music lovers, of which I know there are many in Chestnut Hill.
InstantEncore.com is like a Facebook for classical music. It allows performers like the London Philharmonic, the New York Philharmonic, Curtis Institute and many chamber music and choral groups to put recordings and videos on the site, and they are FREE for listeners! I log in every day to check out my favorite performers.

I had one of my most enjoyable tastings a few days ago. I got to taste about 20 wines ranging in age from 7-11 years old, all stored in optimal conditions. I knew which wines I would be tasting ahead of time and was concerned that many would be past their prime and possibly even dead. Lo & behold, the wines were all alive and quite spectacular.
It is said that 95% (or thereabout) of wine in consumed within 24 hours of its being purchased. Which leads me to believe that most people have not had the extreme pleasure of drinking a wine that has had time to mature in the bottle, a bottle aged wine.
From "The Billionaire's Vinegar": "Crudely, the molecular changes known to unfold in a sealed wine bottle that has been laid down for years involve the gradual interaction of oxygen and wine. Simple chemical compounds break down and recombine into more and more complex forms called polymeric phenols. Acidity and alcohol soften. The largest compounds – the harsh, astringent tannins – drift down into a carpet of sediment, taking with them the saturated, inky pigments. They leave behind a mellowed, unfathomably subtle flavor and a brick-red hue. Everything knits together, resolving into an ever finer complexity expressed fragrantly in the wine's bouquet."
The chapter gets into more detail about mature wine (while discussing Bordeaux purported to be from Thomas Jefferson's cache dating back to the late 1700's, and declares that "a wine is considered mature when it has maximized its flavor possibilities but has not yet begun to deteriorate".
I still believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people prefer the primary aromas and flavors of a young wine, while others prefer the tertiary characteristics. Of the wines I tried at the tasting I was shocked to discover that not only were most of the wines alive, but they were still displaying youthful fruit. Their color was almost across the board still ruby, not showing very much (if any) of the brick color that is indicative of an aged wine (as it goes from purple to ruby to brick and ultimately towards brown as it reaches the end of its life).
I tried 5 Bordeaux, 3 Spanish wines, 2 wines from California and 9 wines from Israel.
The Bordeaux was all quite nice and I wish I had time with each bottle to enjoy it as it evolved. Sadly this was a bit of a speed tasting for me as my job on this evening was simply to verify that the wines were still alive. They were alive yet I couldn't help but think they all seemed a bit lite. They were definitely light in body. I wonder what types of characteristics would have been revealed had I had more time with these wines.
Next were the Spanish wines from Capcanes; A 2000, 2001 & 2003. These were probably my (more…)

Happy 100th Birthday to the Oreo! It's hard to believe, but the iconic chocolate sandwich cookie with the creamy middle was created 100 years ago in New York City.
I don't have to tell you that everyone has a favorite way to eat an Oreo: Dunking it in cold milk; or twisting off the top, licking out the middle, and then nibbling at the cookies; or scarfing down whole cookies six at a time are all but a few options. And then there are those people who like to use Oreos as a base for some of the most amazing and delicious desserts of all time. Anyone can make an Oreo milkshake or crumble them into brownies, but these creations are truly over the top!
The first creation is one of those ideas that's so simple and genius, you're mad you didn't think of it yourself: S'moreos! You substitute Oreos for graham crackers and the rest (milk chocolate and toasted marshmallows) is the exact same. The result is even more chocolately and gooey than the original.
Reese's Stuffed Oreos might be the most perfect food on earth. It's an entire Reese's Peanut Butter Cup sandwiched between two Oreos. Then, the entire thing is dipped in melted chocolate. I literally cannot think of anything I'd rather eat.
The only thing that would even come close is this recipe for Chocolate Chip and Oreo Fudge Brownie Bars. The crazy people who made this actually stacked two on top of each other and smothered it in ice cream. I would like to be friends with these wonderful people.
Do you know that some people love Oreos so much they opted for wedding cake made entirely out of Oreos? True story. And it is a sight to behold.
Now, this may be a little stomach turning, but bear with me: It seems that a popular pastime for many people on the Internet is to take apart Oreo cookies, scrape out the middle, and then reassemble into one massive cookie. These folks made an Oreo cookie with an entire package of Double-Stuffed Oreo Cookies. Disgusting or delicious? I'm leaning toward the latter.
What happens when you deep fry Oreos? Well, it's quite simple really: They get even more spectacular (especially if you dip them in pancake batter first). Weeee!
And, of course, we can't forget two of the most decadent recipes here on The Stir: There's this heavenly one for Death by Oreo Cupcakes with chocolate cake, cream cheese frosting, and chopped Mint Oreos. And everyone's favorite Oreo Peanut Butter Balls are like perfection in your mouth.
What's the best Oreo creation you've ever made?

TheBigrPicture necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 83 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
The design task is to create a logo and graphic style for The Bigr Picture.
Specifically, we require the following items:
- A Bigr Picture logo
- Bigr Picture web page design – suggested page designs for the home page, and a sub-page.
We are open-minded regarding the logo name – should we go for:
Bigr Picture OR BigrPicture OR The Bigr Picture
We would like your feedback on this (and are open to variations on the above).
Essentially, the objective is to get people to recognise, remember and return to the website.
The websites registered will be BigrPicture.org, BigrPicture.com. We have also registered variations including TheBigrPicture.org /.com and BigrPicture.org.au/.com.au.
The Bigr Picture
Do you see the Bigr Picture?
We are a not for profit organisation whose aim is to help people do exactly that – see the bigger picture.
The Bigr Picture is a not-for-profit website using images of the world around us as our inspiration to learn, change and act to improve social and environmental issues - now.
The Bigr Picture presents viewers with Earth Facts and related photographs, which encourages the viewer to think about a given topic and potentially want to either discuss or explore that topic further. The associated images are related to the fact and act as a powerful means of simply and succinctly helping to communicate the message. A picture tells a thousand words after all.
An example of the initial design of the site is attached for your reference.
The Bigr Picture therefore is a project to create a "space":
• To promote awareness of Earth Facts – facts about the world we live in;
• Where people can think about and discuss these Earth Facts; and
• Where photographers can present their pictures, which will be displayed and related to the Earth Facts.
The Bigr Picture is not political or opinionated, hence creating a safe and positive environment to promote learning and questioning rather than preaching.
The potential of the Bigr Picture is to be the Wikipedia of social issues, telling the story using pictures as well as words.
The project is in it's initial stages, with the first round of web development complete. It is however already expanding, with a marketing resource and many volunteers already joining the team to help build and extend the vision!
The inspiration
The impetus to create the website was the success of Yann Arthus-Bertrand's photographic exhibition "The Earth from Above: an aerial portrait of our planet – towards sustainable development" [Link]. Yann's exhibition was a moving collation of pictures from around the globe with related "earth facts" which prompted the viewer to think each given topic.
The Bigr Picture Aims
The aim of this project is to create awareness of the issues facing the world we live in.
Secondary goals of the project are:
• To position The Bigr Picture as a reference and educational tool;
• provide an(other) avenue for photographers to present their work to a global audience;
• create a community for people "meet" and exchange ideas and opinions relating to the Earth Facts; and
• To create a stimulus for and facilitate action on social and environmental issues.
Community Participation
A key to achieving the aims of The Bigr Picture is community participation.
Presenting the concept via the web has significant advantages to Yann's physical exhibition, as powerful as that is. Namely, it enables:
• The community to create the content: users are encouraged to send in "Earth Facts" (which must be referenced to verifiable independent sources) and / or photographs and illustrations that they feel are relevant to a given topic.
• The website provides links to further information for people to explore a given topic, should they wish;
• The website allows people to comment on each "Earth Fact" and /or its associated photo, participating in a discussion.
Target Market
The target market for The Bigr Picture is divided into two areas – the Users, which are our main focus, and Partners. Partners are sponsors who will help us grow and augment the project as we expand.
The Bigr Picture Users
The initial target for The Bigr Picture is most easily summed up as facebook users. Attached are two personality profiles for the target user.
Key target attributes:
• Geographic
- Urban
- Although the initial marketing launch will be focussed on Australia, will be a global user base from day one. As the project develops, The Bigr Picture will target countries with medium to high web penetration where English is spoken as the first or second language. Over time other languages will be added.
• Demographic
- 18-21 years (will have 'halo' from 16-35yrs)
- Gender neutral
- Currently in higher education or just commencing career.
- Gen Y.
• Psychographic
- Personality – open, sociable and thinking individuals. A proportion more likely to be artistic or design-minded as well.
- Psychographic Profile – positive, pro-active and goal oriented.
• Behavioural
- Usage
o Have broadband access at home / Uni
o Already using social networking site such as Facebook.
o Have a digital camera / phone which can take higher res photos.
- Readiness to give time & / or money.
o Likely to be reasonably aware of social and environmental issues. Either already contributing in some way, or have desire to contribute.
- Attitude to product
o Believes in community and charity work and not anti business;.
o Motivated by social and environment issues.
The Bigr Picture Partners
Partners are our potential donors & sponsors. They, as a company / organisation, are likely to have a similar personality to our users. We are still in the process of defining our target donors, as per the Users above. However, the most likely profile is …
- Larger, Australian-based business (potentially part of an international corporation);
- Have a policy and potentially existing donation / sponsorship relationships;
- Involved in industries related to the core of The Bigr Picture such as photography, media, and technology or with extensive links in the community;
- They will be relationship-driven organisations.
Besides being front of place on the Bigr Picture website, the logo will potentially be used in the following applications:
- billboards
- merchandise – i.e. T-shirts, posters and cards.
- Partner websites
- Exhibition signage.
This may be in Australia, or may be global. Therefore, we require:
• the logo to identify the project and drive traffic to the website; and
• communicate the purpose of the project in a way that will work universally (if possible).
Brand Positioning
The brand positioning is a place to see the world we live in. i.e. The Bigr Picture is a project to promote people to view the world around us in its totality. Being inspired by images, participating, changing and appreciating the world we live in.
It is positive, but real.
Note: a tagline will be forwarded to the designer shortly.
Design Direction
The look and feel of the website and therefore the logo needs to be very Web 2.0. Particularly given the focus on photography, the use of clean design with crisp white space framing the imagery is broadly the direction we would like to go.
- All capital letters
- Busy design
- A style copy of flikr / istockphoto

Furniture from Palm Trees, Honey Production and Bringing back "Ferka" Weaving
How we support agribusiness and handicrafts sector in Upper Egypt
Last week I met 35 entrepreneurs from Assyut, Aswan, Beni Seouf, Cairo, Fayoum, Giza, Luxor , Minya, Qena, Sharkeyya, Sohag. Some of these names aren't familiar and there is a reason for that…
They had just been awarded 25,000 dollars each through the Egypt Development Marketplace (DM) competition because their businesses have potential to grow, and create jobs for some of the most vulnerable and marginalized people in Upper Egypt.
I was struck by the new innovative ideas for example using palm trees to produce handicrafts and high quality affordable furniture. But also by the revival of local industries such as the ancient Upper Egyptian carpet weaving produced by ferka, not only generating income for marginalized girls and women, but also renewing pride in Egypt's remarkable culture and heritage. Whether producing local honey, or adding value to products through food processing of tomato paste, olive oil or dairy products specifically for low-income families, these businesses had deserved their cash reward.

With offshore winds and heavy swell, The Gerry Lopez Big Wave Challenge rolled through Mt. Bachelor, Oregon this past weekend bringing a wave of style to the mountain. Now in its second year, The Big Wave Challenge offers a unique opportunity to show your style and flow through a course made up of berms, hips, jumps, cradles, and waves.
The sun was shining and the weather was sweet for this year's event. With an amazing turnout of Hawaiian themed costumes, it was hard to grasp that you were in the mountains of Oregon. With a heavy group of notable standouts, judges like Austin Smith had a field day trying to narrow down a solid top three.
Allister Schultz always comes out swinging, riding hard and choosing new innovative lines around the course. Josh Dirksen, who undoubtedly has one of the best turns in snowboarding, is always a favorite to watch with his steady flow and style. Local powder hound Forest Devore can usually be seen demolishing wind lips through the heavy months of winter, but is quite the well-versed rider with big pop and solid fluidity through the course. Desiree Melancon, Jess Kimura, and Ashley Thornton all had solid runs and even showed some of the dudes up with their bags of trickery.
This is surely an event never to forget for the coming years. For the most part, everyone was just out having fun, cruising with friends and enjoying the obscene amount of snow that Mt. Bachelor still has to offer. A huge thanks to Gerry, all the sponsors, and Mt. Bachelor for bringing friends and family together for an event unlike any other.

John T W necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 22 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
New Product Design for a 300 to 400ml moisturising range that will consist of 4 products ( a SOOTHING DAILY MOISTURISER, a RENEW DAILY MOISTURISER , a REFRESH DAILY MOISTURISER and a HYDRATING DAILY MOISTURISER).
While not totaly organic each product will have ingredients that are certified organic.
I would like to see packaging designs which use a PET bottle and pump with graphics for each product in the range.
The 4 products need to look like a range yet each product needs to distinguish what it is EG HYDRATING or REFRESHING.
The range concept is that it will be a quality product in a larger bottle then the competition at an affordable price.
The name SATORI is in fact a Japanese word and was chosen as it has a nice and uniquie sound to it. It`s meaning is ENLIGHTENMENT. While not mandatory the pack could have a small degree of Japaneses design.
Part of the design will need to be the creation of the Satori logo.
Our company is a major supplier in the Australian beauty industry who is looking to add this range to it`s existing portfolio.
The products WILL NOT BE cartoned. They will be in 300 to 400ml PET bottles with a pump.
You will need to design the shape of the bottle as well as the graphics that go on it.
The overall design should have a semi natural feel to it with out looking over the top. The target consumer is one who would feels natual is better but not so commited to natural that its natural or nothing.

The number two in the now-fallen Barksdale organization, Bell grew up in the projects alongside Avon Barksdale and his chief enforcer, Wee-Bey Brice. A master of organization with a penchant for economic theory, Bell came close to turning the corner and establishing himself as a legitimate real estate developer, and removing himself from the day-to-day of the narcotics organization, remaining as only "The Bank" with the financial investment behind the wholesale packages.
His efforts to reform the violence and gangsterism of the drug trade - amoral though they were - ultimately led to a complicated series of maneuvers that backfired, resulting in his ambush at the hands of Brother Mouzone and Omar Little - an ambush that Avon Barksdale was required to accept in order to maintain his standing with the New York drug suppliers with whom Mouzone has strong standing.

By Jaleen Grove
In his 16 years of Canadian illustrating, there are at least 12 stylistic approaches so different that the casual observer would likely not detect only one artist behind them all, although a few of these Oscar Cahén did frequently enough to ensure some "name" recognition.
New Liberty, 1948.
Occasionally, Oscar Cahén's illustrations reveal innovative surprises: collaged newspaper on one story...
... in the mailbox of a MacLean's cover...
... a fragment of an actual postage stamp on the mail.
One of Cahén's biggest breakthroughs was when he illustrated an entire book in a week, Morley Callaghan's "Man With A Coat" for MacLean's, April 16, 1955. It was a rush job; the magazine put him in a hotel room with art supplies and he set to it. While many of the illustrations are in his usual loose inked line and watercolour, two stand out. In the title page, flat planes of colour and pattern on separate papers are glued together (the pink segment corrects a weaker rendition beneath) to suggest architecture and relationships of light and shadow using the barest essentials only.
MacLean's, 1955.
The latter exploits transparent wet into wet over flat hot colour, the figure almost lost in shadow. In these two illustrations we can see Cahén's interest in abstract art coming out in the formalist play of figure and ground and flatness.
Maclean's, 1955.
The variety of work Cahén took on was partly due to the small scale of the illustration market in Canada. In order to thrive, Canadians had to take all manner of work, from cartooning to fiction illustration to advertising. But the danger was that if a few illustrators kept appearing again and again in a limited number of publications, reader stagnation might set in. Cahén's relentless switching of styles had the happy side effect that he could qualify for any job and never get boring.
New Liberty Magazine, 1948.
In the later 1940s cultural leaders were patriotically itching to differentiate Canadian visual culture from that of Americans, so Cahén was able to submit a lot of off-beat work. Canadian art directors were open to unconventional approaches to drawing people, unlike the more conservative mainstream American periodicals—and the public. A reader of New Liberty wrote:
"Sir: Do you keep your illustrator Oscar in a padded cell? No one in their right mind could think up such repulsive and hideous things to represent human beings."
New Liberty, issue unknown.
Art Director Stan Furnival said about the first boy-girl art Cahén submitted, "I'll always remember that art as it came in, wrong proportions, but alive and delightful … its inclusion certainly helped give the whole magazine a more interesting quality." MacLean's art director Gene Aliman remarked, "The ideally beautiful heroine and the ever handsome hero seldom exist in reality. The illustrator betrays the writer's artistry and the reader's intelligence by using stock, anonymous looking characters." Oscar himself said:
"I do not believe that the average magazine reader is as inaccessible to fundamental emotions as expressed in good art as art directors would like me to believe. Mind you, I get a bang out of drawing cute babes! It's a lark!"
New Liberty, 1948.
Oscar Cahén enjoyed trying out every kind of style and medium partly because he valued, above all, avoiding formulaic approaches and ruts. He disapproved of the Famous Artists School—he felt it encouraged mindless simplification and repetition of techniques pioneered by innovators such as Norman Rockwell, Al Parker, Ben Shahn and other notables, hampering creative evolution in the field. He also denigrated what he called "American junk" and "commercial junk." But he told an interviewer from Canadian Art magazine:
"Much of the material we are asked to illustrate is of inferior quality. Yet, good art work can be used with it and by itself will do much to raise the standard of the publication in question and stimulate the minds of its more alert readers. Commercial artists need to take more time to reflect upon this power which is at their command."

* The first exhibition of Oscar Cahén's illustration since his lifetime will be shown in New York at Illustration House in October 2011 (opening night Oct. 1). With Roger Reed, I have written a full colour catalogue with an essay and over 60 images. In this series of posts about Cahén, I will introduce him and feature some artwork that will not appear in the show, catalogue, or websites.
