Somebody and Nobody
Paris Fashion Week – Christian Dior. Reigning Best Actress and my girl crush Marion Cotillard arrives all subtle gorgessity, the current face of Lady Dior, with the innate French ability to capture a look that suits the moment.
She is extraordinary and we must worship her.
And look what the D List dragged in.
Mischa Barton. Trying to upstage the runway. No appreciation of her station. No understanding that she is, and has been, a has been. Like, she's wearing a f-cking weave! In the presence of John Galliano! Bitch, know your role! Climb back into your hole!
And give me back my goddamn arm! It's been achy lately. Achier than ever. They say I'll have to get those pins taken out. The ones they installed to reattach my elbow. As my mother would say: I scare. I so scare. It will hurting me.
F-cking Mischa Barton.

I can safely say I've never laughed watching an episode of "King of the Hill." More power to them, though - they made it 13 years in a business where success is making it a full 13 episodes without a cancellation.
Can't say I'll miss the show, though. Hopefully Mike Judge will continue making movies -- Office Space and Idiocracy are both genius and I'd like to see more movies like them.

NEW YORK (AP) - A.J. Griffin showed his Oakland teammates before facing the Yankees that he's quite an entertaining guitarist. Then he went out and reminded everyone he's a pretty good pitcher, too.
Griffin pitched six-hit ball into the eighth inning Friday night and Adam Rosales homered on CC Sabathia's first pitch, leading the Athletics to a 2-0 victory over New York.
"He's pretty much a free spirit," manager Bob Melvin of Griffin.
Derek Norris hit an RBI single in the sixth inning to help Oakland open its 10-game road trip with its fourth win in five games.
Griffin (3-2) serenaded his teammates in the visiting clubhouse with guitar and song in English, Spanish and French before preparing for his sixth start of the season.
"It's a good way to just to kind of clear your mind and just get ready to go out there and play a ballgame," Griffin said. "The one thing I just don't want is for people to just think I don't care. Obviously I care. That's kind of how I do it."
Most pitchers are stoic on the day of a start. Griffin never has been.
A's reliever Sean Doolittle, Griffin's roommate in Triple-A last year before they were called up, wasn't surprised by the impromptu concert. He's seen Griffin take his prestart fun a lot further - his minor league routine even included some sort of dancing.
"Without going into too much detail he's tightened it up considerably since his days in Midland and Sacramento," Doolittle said.
Coming off two losses in which he allowed 11 earned runs and 13 hits in 11 innings, Griffin was smooth on the mound, too.
The Yankees had two runners on base only once, in the third inning, and Griffin needed only nine pitches in the each of the fourth through sixth innings. He struck out four, walked one and was removed for Doolittle after Brett Gardner's bunt single to start the eighth.
"You expect him to have a good start all the time based on what we've seen since we called him up last year," Melvin said.
Grant Balfour got the final out for his fourth save this season and 22nd in a row since blowing one on April 29, 2012, securing Oakland's first nine-inning shutout of the year.
Rosales hit leadoff for the first time in his career because Coco Crisp is on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring. He hit an 89 mph fastball from Sabathia (4-3) deep into the to left field stands.
"My goal was to get on base, Rosales said. "I saw that first pitch and it jumped off my bat."
The A's didn't threaten again until the fifth, when Nate Freiman, who had three hits, and Rosales singled. But Seth Smith hit a lazy fly to left field for the second out. Robinson Cano kept it a one-run game when he ranged far behind second base to field Jed Lowrie's bouncer and threw across his body to just nip Lowrie at first to end the inning. A's manager Bob Melvin briefly let his objection to the call be known to first base umpire Chris Conroy, filling in for Tim McClelland, who was delayed.
The Yankees lost for just the second time in eight games on a 10-game homestand. They mustered only six hits in Joe Girardi's 1,000th game as a big league manager.
With Joba Chamberlain having gone on the disabled list before the game with an oblique strain and David Robertson unavailable this series because of soreness in the area where the knee meets the hamstring, Girardi was counting on Sabathia to go deep in the game. He was at 93 pitches through five innings, though, and showed signs of fatigue in the sixth.
Yoenis Cespedes walked leading off and went to third base on a line drive by Josh Donaldson that right fielder Ichiro Suzuki appeared to lose in the lights. Suzuki stopped tracking the ball as it zipped by and hit off the wall. Donaldson was nailed trying to stretch at second base for the first out.
Sabathia took exception with what he thought was unfair treatment by plate umpire Jordan Baker in the third inning on a 2-2 pitch and Girardi had to make a mound visit to calm his ace.
"I think he thought he was being shown up. That wasn't the case," catcher Chris Stewart said. "The pitch before was close, and then (Baker) heard CC talking to himself. I can see where the miscommunication can happen."
Sabathia "told him that he didn't like being yelled at," Stewart said.
Sabathia gave up eight hits and two runs in six innings. He walked two and struck out six.
"I thought I made good pitches but there were good at-bats by Oakland," Sabathia said. "I had good stuff but they kept fouling off pitches. Getting my curveball and changeup for strikes helped."

Perhaps it was the wine that made some Republicans forget details of events involving former party chairman Jim Greer. Or maybe it was Greer who drank the wine and was mis-remembering.
Those suggestions were tossed around among lawyers as they put former Gov. Charlie Crist under oath last year to ask him about a series of conversations he had with Greer and others as Greer took over party fundraising in 2009.
Crist, a lawyer, former legislator, education commissioner, attorney general and governor, said it was his first time to be questioned under oath in a deposition, a remarkable thing for a man who has spent most of his adult life in politics.
Many of the other witnesses that have been questioned under oath also suffered from a failure to recall details of Greer's fundraising activity.
The issue is a critical one as Greer faces trial in Orlando on Monday for secretly creating Victory Strategies, a company that collected about $200,000 from the GOP in 2009. He is accused of multiple counts of theft and fraud and faces a maximum of 75 years in prison if convicted.

2007-08 Women's Basketball
Bluffton 80, Defiance 77
Balanced scoring pushes Bluffton past Defiance, 80-77
By: Brandy Bidlack, sports information assistant
January 30, 2008
BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University women's basketball team knocked off HCAC and backyard rival Defiance College, 80-77, on Wednesday, January 30, 2008. Bluffton improved to 8-11 overall and 2-8 in conference play, while Defiance dropped to 6-11 overall with a 2-8 mark in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference.
The Beavers started off with a pair of layups from Ginny Buckingham (Bluffton/Bluffton). Lindsey Ebbeskotte (Delphos/Jefferson) found senior Angie Lee (Mt. Blanchard/Vanlue) for a hoop to knot the game at seven with just under 15 minutes to play in the first half. Kim Miller (Delphos/St. John's) tied the score again at 11 with two more points for Bluffton.
Defiance retaliated with a 9-1 run before Buckingham got to the hoop at the 7:15 mark. Amanda Bell (Napoleon/Liberty Center) hit from downtown thanks to an assist from Katie Lord (Toledo/Whitmer). Layups from Lee, Bell, and Lindsay Bush (Howard/East Knox) pulled the Beavers within three points, 31-28, at the 4:06 mark.
With 3:15 left on the clock, a dish from Kim Miller led to a Bush layup. A pair of free throws by Buckingham gave Bluffton the edge, 32-31. Miller hit a jumper to end the first half as the Beavers took a 34-33 lead at the break.
The second half proved to be just as intense as the first as Buckingham again sparked the Beavers' offense with an early deuce. She then picked up a steal and converted at the other end for a 38-37 Bluffton lead at the 17:52 mark.
Miller snatched an offensive rebound and put it back up and in for Bluffton. A trey from Lee made the score 47-45 in favor of the home team. Miller then hit Lee for a trifecta and 54-50 lead with 12:46 left in the contest.
Amanda Bell hit from distance with less than eight minutes to play for a 66-60 advantage. Bell found Miller to increase the Beaver lead to eight points, 68-60. After two consecutive jumpers from Miller, Bell went 2-of-4 at the charity stripe to give Bluffton the win over HCAC rival Defiance College, 80-77.
Angie Lee scored her 1,000th career point with a free throw at the 8:22 mark. She finished the game with 15 points for exactly 1,000 points, placing her fifth on the all-time list at Bluffton. Lee also had three assists, two rebounds, and one steal. Kim Miller led the Beavers with a career-high 20 points, to go along with six assists and five boards. Ginny Buckingham and Amanda Bell each chipped in with 16 points, and Buckingham notched her fourth career double-double as she grabbed 12 boards. Lindsay Bush swatted away three Defiance offerings and had 11 points, six assists, and two steals.
Mandy White and Sarah Bird paced the Yellow Jackets with 23 and 16 points, respectively. Sophomore Amber Bailey narrowly missed a triple-double, tallying 15 points and 10 rebounds, along with eight blocks on the night. Tasha Stucke snatched five steals, dished five assists and dropped in 12 points.
Bluffton hit 28-for-63 (44.4 percent) from the field, compared to 30-of-68 (44.1 percent) for Defiance. Bluffton went 20-of-26 (76.9 percent) from the charity stripe, while Defiance made only 11-of-21 (52.4 percent) at the line. Both teams committed 17 turnovers and Bluffton finished with a slight 42-40 edge on the glass.
The Bluffton University women's basketball team will return to action when the Beavers host HCAC rival Anderson University on Saturday, February 2, 2008. Tip time is slated for 3 p.m. in Founders Hall.

Nevada Vital Records Contribute Data to Your Family Tree
Getting Started Right Away on Your Family Tree
Unless you�ve been reprimanded for the time you forgot it, you know your spouse�s birthday. You also probably know dates of birth for others in your household. The first blanks you can fill in on your family tree are the dates of birth of immediate family members. Another member of the family�a great aunt, an uncle, a cousin�may share your interest in genealogy. The two or three of you can make this historic project an activity for the family to engage in.
After finishing this initial portion of your project, think about devising a game plan. This family tree could be a potentially big assignment. You might think to wrestle the smaller units of this big project, as part of your game plan. Maybe you can gather the evidence from your father�s side of the family tree faster than your mother�s side. Do your father�s side first, in this particular instance. Your confidence in completing this ancestry activity will grow (like your family tree) when you see names filling up the page. By communicating with more and more family members about your undertaking, you may find that these people can divulge more evidence for you.
The More Advanced Steps to Completing Your Family Tree
Now that you�re temporarily stuck, you may want to check the Nevada vital records for assistance. Visiting this source will reward you with the data you need to fill more branches of the family tree. The Nevada vital records offer birth and dates to you. This information is crucial for you to have a proper family tree. Evidence of ancestry is available through the Nevada vital records. The Silver State offers these important documents to be accessed by the public. Please visit this resource and other genealogy websites for other tips and suggestions on how to finish your worthwhile mission for your family.
The hobby of genealogy rewards not just the practitioner but many people. Those of you who are commonly interested in ancestry have created groups and forums to share advice and success stories. The history of local families in a particular region can be very rewarding for an entire community. The Nevada vital records provide history enthusiasts a great tool.

MADILL, OK - A man who lost his sister in the Columbine High School massacre nearly 14 years ago, now travels the country to keep her legacy alive through a program called Rachel's Challenge.
Craig Scott survived the massacre at Columbine, but his 17-year-old sister Rachel did not.
"I was in the school library, which was the scene of the most intense shooting," Craig said. "The shooters were treating it like it was a game."
The pain is still very real for Craig as he reflects on what is known as the worst high school shooting in US history. On April 20,1999, two senior students entered Columbine High School and began shooting. Twelve students and a teacher lost their lives.
"I barely escaped with other students," Craig said. "I later learned that Rachel was the first person killed. She was one of the students who was questioned about her faith before they shot her."
Craig found a way to turn his pain into inspiration. He and his father Darrell started a program called Rachel's Challenge, honoring his sister's legacy. The program reminds students to be kind to one another, the way Craig said Rachel lived her life everyday.
"We have prevented school shootings, we stopped suicides," Craig said. "We have seen schools change for the better."
Hundreds of Madill students gathered in the gym to hear Rachel's story Monday.
Craig's message: never hold back from telling the people you love how you feel about them.
Students say they were moved by Rachel's story.
The event was sponsored by the Chickasaw Nation.

The Windsor gymnasium has received a new look in the way of bleachers and floor.
After 10 years with the existing floor and over 20 years with the bleachers, the Windsor gymnasium will now include new seating, which is handicap compliant, along with a newly painted floor.
Specialize bleachers out of Lawrence, Kansas replaced the old bleachers with the new bleachers, which now goes past the mezzanine on the student side. As for the new floor, Malone Floor Company out of Oklahoma spent almost two weeks stripping the floor and then repainting the lines for basketball and volleyball. Stations for advanced P.E. were also added during the process. As for the floor itself, the Pirate is no longer in the center of the gymnasium but has been replaced with a giant "B". Something else new on both ends of the floor is the name: Boonville Pirates. Lastly, Fred Biesemeyer has also been placed on opposite ends of the gymnasium.
Student-athletes will get a first-hand look of the gymnasium during registration on August 1. Practice for fall sports, meanwhile, will begin on Monday, August 12th.

Ubuntu chief mua muas Microsoft
Dirty uncle not welcome
Leader of the Ubuntu tribe Mark Shuttleworth has no plans to invite dirty uncle Microsoft over for patent protection talks.
Canonical's CEO this weekend spanked rumor mongers for suggesting that his company may go the way of Linspire, Xandros and Novell. All of these software makers have formed recent deals with Microsoft around patent "protection." Microsoft, some of you might have heard, has grumbled that Linux and related software could probably – wink, nod – infringe on its patents.
"We have declined to discuss any agreement with Microsoft under the threat of unspecified patent infringements," Shuttleworth wrote on his blog.
And why not, Shuttle man?
Allegations of "infringement of unspecified patents" carry no weight whatsoever. We don't think they have any legal merit, and they are no incentive for us to work with Microsoft on any of the wonderful things we could do together. A promise by Microsoft not to sue for infringement of unspecified patents has no value at all and is not worth paying for. It does not protect users from the real risk of a patent suit from a pure-IP-holder (Microsoft itself is regularly found to violate such patents and regularly settles such suits). People who pay protection money for that promise are likely living in a false sense of security.
Shuttleworth then dished out the obligatory "we welcome Microsoft with open arms" statement around interoperability between Linux and Windows.
"I have no objections to working with Microsoft in ways that further the cause of free software, and I don't rule out any collaboration with them, in the event that they adopt a position of constructive engagement with the free software community," Shuttleworth said. "It's not useful to characterize any company as 'intrinsically evil for all time.'"
Later, however, he closed: "All the deals announced so far strike me as 'trinkets in exchange for air kisses.' Mua mua. No thanks."
Mua mua indeed. ®

The school district's head of finance announced he will resign this June, when the fiscal year ends and Manatee County Schools begins to close the books for a year following a massive budget crisis.
Chief Financial Officer Michael Boyer announced his June 2014 resignation to Deputy Superintendent Don Hall on Thursday, and said he had other professional and personal opportunities he wanted to pursue.
"It was time," Boyer said Thursday. "I've invested a lot in this district. I think I have all the pieces in place."
Boyer, who declined to elaborate on his future plans, said he wanted to give the district administrators time to prepare for his departure, but would "make sure personally they are in good shape."
A district press release sent out Thursday said that administrators would turn to veteran school finance directors across the state for help if a replacement could not be found by June, and would consider hiring an interim if necessary.
After arriving in the district in April 2012, Boyer bore much of the burden of straightening out a massive budget crisis revealed by former Superintendent Tim McGonegal that fall. Boyer has consistently said he was unaware of the depth of the district's struggles upon arriving, but was blindsided by its antiquated ways of doing business.
Until Boyer made major changes in 2013, the school district lacked processes to prevent overhiring, controls on administrators' credit cards and tools to monitor the budget on a regularly basis.
"I was pretty much shocked right out of the gate," Boyer said Wednesday. "But I didn't know about all the hidden financial issues."
Boyer said that Deputy Superintendent Don Hall was surprised by Boyer's resignation Thursday, but was understanding of what he had to "weather" in the past two years. It was not uncommon for Boyer, and other new hires assembled by McGonegal's successor, Rick Mills, to start their day at 8 a.m. and leave the office at 11 p.m. as they worked for stability.
The district is still not out of the woods.
A $21 million savings plan created by Boyer and other leaders was projected to boost reserves to $8 million until state auditors exacted roughly $10 million in fines for past budget and finance errors last December.
If school officials can negate some of the fines by working with state leaders, then Boyer said the district should have more stability in the future. New finance and budget directors have been hired in recent months, and multiple system controls to prevent overspending have been enacted.
"They really just too need to keep following through with the processes that have been established and keep putting tighter controls in," Boyer said.
Though Hall could not be reached for comment Thursday, he spoke warmly of Boyer's service to the district in a press release.
"We are very confident that the Manatee District is heading in the right direction to return this district to a state of financial health and stability," Hall said. "We will make the necessary adjustments in light of Mr. Boyer's resignation ."
EARLIER: The school district's head of finance announced he will resign in June, when Manatee Schools will close the books for its first fiscal year after a massive budget crisis.
Chief Financial Officer Michael Boyer announced his June 2014 resignation to Deputy Superintendent Don Hall today, and suggested that he has found employment for next year elsewhere.
"I never thought I would ever leave what is now positioned to be a very great school district," Boyer wrote in a resignation letter. "But when the opportunity arose to pursue a new opportunity, I simply had to take advantage of it."
The school district has struggled to stabilize its finances after a massive budget crisis was revealed by former Superintendent Tim McGonegal in the fall of 2012. Boyer had joined the school district just six months before, and has told the Herald-Tribune that he was blindsided by the antiquated budget practices that previous school leaders utilized.
A savings plans created by new leadership, including Boyer, would save $8 million in district reserves by June 2014. But that plan was threatened late last year, when state auditors exacted roughly $10 million in fines for budget and finance errors of the past.
A district press release sent out today said that administrators would turn to veteran school finance directors across the state for help closing the year out if a replacement could not be found by June.
"We will make the necessary adjustments in light of Mr. Boyer's resignation and continue to build on the progress we have made so that we can ultimately reinvest in our students and employees," Hall said in the statement.

[Judge Diane] Sykes steers the panel to another aspect of the impact of blogs: should judges read them? Should they cite them? Volokh chuckles that they should definitely cite them. As to reading them: he doesn't see how in this regard reading them is any different to1 reading a newspaper. He adds that blogs can almost serve as a quasi-Amicus brief, one that bypasses the cumbersome amicus process. And as a general rule, he adds, if you get an idea from a source, any source - be it an Amicus brief, the New York Times or Sentencing Law & Policy, you should cite it. The session's only question a little later picks up on this, wondering if it's appropriate for blogs to try and influence judges. Volokh observes that logs are public information no less so than a treatise or a newspaper, they are citable and should be cited, and while it might be inappropriate to try and influence a judge in a private email conversation with them, doing so by putting forward arguments in the public record seems appropriate enough. In some senses, he says, what is legal scholarship other than an attempt to influence judges?
Bashman notes that Judges clearly read blogs: aside from the Chief Justice, who we know reads How Appealing (see above), if he points out a typographical error in an opinion on his blog, the opinion is usually corrected or temporarily withdrawn until it can be corrected within a half-hour. He's learned from this to save a copy of any opinions before pointing out particularly humorous typos.
Althouse doesn't see any impropriety per se, but observes that there's a concern that certain kinds of reporting on blogs might influence Judges to play to the audience a little; if a certain kind of opinion seems likely to get them good reviews on the blogs, there's a concern that might distort judicial behavior. "AMK," I write in the margin and underline twice. Connecting this to the subject of cameras in the court Ann mentions David Lat's "judicial superhotties" contest, and wonders what pressures it would exert on Justices for blogs to be writing catty and critical comments about the Justices' appearence. "Perhaps not every blogger would do that... But I would," she concludes, with a chuckle. (This is the day's audience laughter runner-up to Turley's line about Roberts.)
1Simon's English. And he likes footnotes. I haven't done a blog post footnote since my first year of blogging. I have a personal rule against it. But I'm breaking my rule here as a tribute to Simon for writing such a damned comprehensive post on the conference. It's really helpful. And full of good observations and insights. By the way, I deleted a footnote of his from the quoted passage. It was footnote 41! As for what Turley said about Roberts (and his family), I remembered that to blog about in my post about the media panels. It was: "They looked like they were raised hydroponically by Karl Rove."

text: new to the forum but have been reading them for some time now. i just upgraded my headunit to the pioneer 80 prs and im having trouble tuning it. ive read the manual and know what most of settings are ( you can change so much) but no matter what i do or have it set at the bass has that bass boosted sound (its a unhealthy sound) my gains have been set with a DMM, and bass boost is off, LPF is set around 80 on the amp. on the subwoofer setting on the head unit i have just been changing from -12 db to -3 db depending the song, never go to -0 let alone +6. ive brought to the only shop i trust and he got it sounding better but not good. i know the unit is fine but im not good enough yet. been at this for three weeks now trying to be patient but thinking about giving up. anyone have this unit and suggestions

Assessment Models
It's not our business data which is unique.
It's how we use it.
Information may be important, but without help from smart, elegant systems capable of handling all types of data, which can be applied to easily accessible products, it falls flat on its face. At Soliditet, we assess solvency and willingness to pay among both companies and consumers with the help of various different systems, built up around advanced models and unique credit granting instruments.
Soliditet is the leading credit report company in the Nordic region. We have not achieved this status because we have access to business information no one else on the market holds. Rather, it is our expertise drawing conclusions from large volumes of data which makes us unique. A good example is our ability to forecast bankruptcies – with a 90 per cent probability – one whole year in advance. And that is not all. It is our conviction that we outperform our competitors when it comes to identifying those companies most inclined to do business with your individual company, as well as those carrying a greater business risk than you are willing to take.
Soliditet's credit assessment system – AAA (triple A)
Soliditet's credit assessment system, AAA, is capable of forecasting 90 per cent of commercial bankruptcies. Launched in 1989, AAA grades a company's solvency based on a series of decision rules. The result is recorded in the form of a credit rating, from AAA to C.
Learn more about Soliditet's credit assessment system
Soliditet Score Consumer
Score Consumer is a generic scorecard developed to suit all types of credit facilities. It is developed and customised towards a credit-active population in order to optimise performance. This model is en effective tool in order to facilitate better decision making, and enables you to do more risk-free business while avoiding credit loss. Learn more about scoring
Soliditet Payment index
Soliditet's Payment index provides a further dimension to your credit assessment armoury, by offering guidance on when you can expect to be paid. Payment Index charts companies' payment behaviour using a financial ratio which shows average payment time in relation to the sum of the invoice. This index is unique on the Swedish market.

NetSuite Reports 50 Percent Year-Over-Year Channel Growth
Forget the sluggish channel sales numbers reported by old-school enterprise software makers. Cloud computing ERP stalwart NetSuite is on a channel tear. This week NetSuite said sales through its North America channel are up 50 percent year-over-year.
In May the company recruited Blytheco, one of Sage's top VARs, to launch a cloud computing practice based on NetSuite's ERP suite. NetSuite also enlisted the accounting firm Grant Thornton LLP to become a NetSuite systems integrator.
"They're making that change," said NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson of the channel's cloud computing adoption rate. "It's hard not to be excited about what we're seeing in the indirect model right now."

I am a huge huge fan of cream eyeshadows, although I am quite specific about the types I like…quite runny and shimmery, jelly like, or rich creams. Maybelline's Eye Studio Color (using the spelling on their packaging) Tattoo Cream Eyeshadows have been out of my radar for a long time because they had a texture I don't usually like; somewhat thin and quite solid.
Then I was sent a few colours to try; quite a neutral selection which piqued my interest, and I ended up buying a selection of USA exclusive colours and some limited editions too!
The US colours come with the black lids and the UK (possibly Europe?) colours have coloured lids (the top row in the above photo). Both come in glass jars and have the same amount of product. However; this is quite important if you decide to buy some colours from abroad – some shades have different names but are exactly the same thing as what we have in the UK.
For example, our 40 Permanent Taupe is 35 is Tough as Taupe in the US, 20 Turquoise Forever is 40 Tenacious Teal and our 15 Endless Purple is 20 Painted Purple in the US.
From my research, a few shades that are US colours that we don't (at the time of writing) get here are; Fierce & Tangy, Too Cool, Pomegrante Punk, Edgy Emerald.
Fierce & Tangy is a bold orange (I like this but can't see any use for it as yet), Too Cool is white which I bought, Pomegrante Punk is a rich berry shade and Edge Emerald is a green which I also purchased and will review/swatch shortly.
We get Timeless Black which apparently they don't in the US (it is a basic rich dark black) – although not listed on many websites I have definitely seen this in Boots.
Anyway, they say:
Dare to wear 24HR shadow.
• Ink technology creates 24HR wear shadow for our most intense, long-lasting color saturation
• Cream formula glides on without creasing and keeps color vibrant
• Ophthalmologist-tested. Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers

Friday, he gave me a "C", and said he would not accept my 4 apologies. I must have given him the dear in the headlights look because, before I could say anything else he said "Comments are nothing more than an apology... figure it out." I figure he must like me, 67% of the class failed.
First, Is there anything wrong with the code?
Second, Any notion to his apology remark?

Local Immigrant Sheds Tears of Joy Over Change in Deportations
June 15th, 2012, 1:40 PM
Tears flowed when Caroline Vang Polly of Sterling Heights heard the news today that President Obama would halt deportations of people like her: young, law-abiding, educated, undocumented immigrants who came to the United States before they were 16.
"I just can't believe it. It's what so many people have been working so hard for," said the 28-year-old woman, her voice shaking.
Polly is one of the estimated 800,000 young people who would be affected by the new policy, which was reported by the Associated Press this morning in advance of an afternoon news conference.
The wire service quoted unnamed officials as saying Obama's directive would allow undocumented immigrants to avoid deportation and be eligible for work permits if they came to the United States before they were 16, are younger than 30, have been in the United States for at least five continuous years, have no criminal history and graduated from high school, received a GED or served in the military.
"This is a long time coming," says David Koelsch, associated professor and director of the immigration law clinic at University of Detroit Mercy School of Law. "It's just nice to see the Obama Administration wake up and recognize the reality that we've got good, hard-working high school and college students and people in the military who deserve better treatment."
Koelsch has at least three clients currently who will benefit from Obama's directive.
"I just emailed them and said, `Hey, good news,'" he said.
Bills have been introduced in the last several sessions of Congress that would have granted the same measures to young people but even with bi-partisan support, they stalled.
Polly, her parents and younger sister have been able to stay because of a private bill introduced by Sen. Carl Levin (D-Detroit) that seeks to grant them citizenship while their immigration appeal proceeds. Polly, who married last year, and her younger sister, Melanie, were born in France. Her parents, who are Hmong, fled there from southeast Asia after the American military left following the Vietnam War.
Nearly 25 years ago, the family came to Michigan on tourist visas issued to them in Europe, mistakenly believing they allowed the Vangs to stay in the States.
Polly's parents opened Bangkok 96, a popular Thai restaurant in Dearborn, had two more children and learned years later they were actually here illegally. Their case has been in court for years.
Polly, who graduated from Walsh College with a degree in marketing, started a frozen food company with her mother last year called Thai Feast. www.thaifeast.com. They employ a dozen people around the country.
"This whole journey has really pushed us to become better citizens and to prove to the government that we're not bad people. We pay our taxes, we're going to school. We're paying for our tuitions," Polly said. "We're working really hard and thinking about what we can do next."

water or dough temperature?
Hi all,
Newb here and I hope my questions not been covered before so here goes. When I disolve my yeast recipes typically say 110-115f degrees but then after mixing (kitchen aide stand mixer) my dough temperature is very much warmer than what I understand it should be. 90 as opposed to 75ish? So, what's more important here, my water temp to disolve yeast or dough temperature...or am I completely mixed up? I'd really appreciate some help and clarification here!

Stalker uses exercise as teaching tool
Students at Stalker Elementary are combining learning and exercise with the help of fitness instructor Heather Polatis from Gold's Gym in Blackfoot. The program is called Learn and Be Fit.
Polatis goes into each classroom to give the students 15-20 minutes of exercise on Monday and Wednesday. The students exercise by their desks in their classrooms.
On Wednesday, students in Shawna Matsuura's second grade warmed up and cooled down. They marched, jumped a simulated jump rope, did step touch, tapped heels and toes and learned about their biceps, triceps and quadriceps.
"Students learn with rhyming, poetry and repetition," said Polatis. "They are able to retain more information when they get moving."
Learn and Be Fit started Monday. Presently, Polatis is working on math facts.
For example, students marched, jumped a simulated rope and stretched to the rhyme:
"Make a ten. Make a ten.
"We know ways to make a ten.
"9+1 and 8+2;
"They have sums of ten. It's true.
"7+3 and 6+4;
"Do you know there are two more?
"5+5 and 0+10;
"Now let's say them all again!"
"The teachers are fantastic," she said. "As we go on, they will let me know what their students need.
"Any subject can be put to rhyme and movement—social studies, geometry, math," Polatis said.
Polatis started this program in 2009 when she lived in Florida.
"It has been proven that kids learn better when students can use all the kinetic senses," said Karen Thurston, Limited English Proficiency (LEP) teacher. "It's easier for students to learn with songs, chants and repetitiveness."
"Our building is excited," said Stalker principal Hal Silzly. "We see a need for student fitness, wellness and health.
"We are exploring new awareness to help us in our academic growth," he said. "Research shows lots of children learn when they can move.
"We are keeping data to see if this works for us," said Silzly.
Help requested
Stalker Elementary is asking patrons (and interested persons) to to help the school obtain a grant from Idaho Power to help pay for the Learn and Be Fit program.

Snowplow and salt truck drivers worked hours past midnight Thursday to clear the county's roads and thoroughfares of a major snowfall.
The storm brought 4 to 6 inches of snow to much of the area, the National Weather Service said.
The winter storm came sooner and faster than some expected, and "once the trouble started, it was too late. Even our guys got caught up in some traffic last night," Don Kopsell, the Nunda Township Highway Department commissioner, said Friday. "Nothing you can do when that happens."
Meteorologists were surprised, too.
Looking back, the weather service's Stephen Rodriguez said, "The big question yesterday was when the change from rain to snow was going to occur, and it happened much quicker than we anticipated. Everything evolved rapidly, and Lake and McHenry counties got the worst of it."
Kopsell said he was surprised his department didn't receive a call from the Illinois Department of Transportation for help in clearing Route 31 between Crystal Lake and McHenry, which was closed in late afternoon and early evening Thursday because drivers had trouble negotiating the hill.
"We have done that road before and Route 176 for the state. They reimburse us for that," Kopsell said.
Calls to the McHenry County Department of Transportation and the Illinois Department of Transportation were not returned Friday.
"Our guys had little problems around midnight with trees coming down," Kopsell said. "But other than that, things went smoothly.

Glen Sather wants to make a trade. If you're surprised by that statement, you don't follow the New York Rangers or know Slats' history.
With his team struggling (and Henrik Lundqvist not helping), Sather is making like a fiend on the phone trying to find a fit. With the NHL locked out of making trades until Dec. 28, the most Grinch-like Sather can do is arrange a deal.
According to the Ottawa Sun, Sather appears to be seeking a trade to shake up his team, which is supposed to have all the elements in place for a playoff run.
A 1-4-2 homestand with games remaining Sunday and Monday creates an air of desperation greater than the latest named winter storm. And while nobody cares about the storm's name they do care about who Slats might be peddling to willing partners.
How about Michael Del Zotto and Dan Girardi? Both defensemen have good press clippings, and defensemen remain a valued commodity on the trade market. Teams can't get enough of them; just ask the Pittsburgh Penguins, a team with its top four blue-line players out with injuries.
Del Zotto, anyone? The Sun suggests the Ottawa Senators might be interested because they need a puck-moving defenseman. But with loonies tight, GM Bryan Murray will want to move a contract or two to get his man and stay under budget. Defensemen Patrick Wiercioch and Eric Gryba are mentioned.
Girardi is headed for unrestricted free agency, so cashing him in is the sensible thing to do.
Sather reportedly will move anyone — except Lundqvist, Rick Nash or Chris Kreider.
So while Sather plays Scrooge, his players are getting the message: Shape up or ship out.

Alcoa Inc., the largest U.S. aluminum producer, reported first-quarter earnings that exceeded analysts' estimates as demand from airplane and car manufacturers increased.
Net income rose to $149 million, or 13 cents a share, from $94 million, or 9 cents, a year earlier, the New York-based company said yesterday in a statement. Earnings excluding an income-tax benefit and other one-time items were 11 cents a share, beating the 8-cent average of 18 estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Alcoa, traditionally the first company in the Dow Jones Industrial Average to report earnings, has been shifting its focus from the production of the lightweight metal to making valued-added aluminum parts for industry. Profit in the engineered products and solutions unit, which supplies the aerospace and automotive industries, rose 10%, Alcoa said in the statement.
"There was clear improvement in engineered products," Lloyd O'Carroll, an analyst at Davenport & Co. in Richmond, Virginia, said yesterday by phone. "The aerospace market is strong."
Alcoa rose 0.5% to $8.43 at 9:43 a.m. in New York. The shares have declined 3.4% this year.
Vehicle Sales
Airbus SAS and Boeing Co. are working to meet aircraft orders as U.S. airlines replace the world's oldest fleets. Airbus yesterday broke ground on a new plant in Mobile, Alabama, which will build the A320neo single-aisle jet.
U.S. light-vehicle sales in March climbed 3.4% to 1.45 million, the best month for the industry since August 2007, according to researcher Autodata Corp. Automakers sold 3.69 million cars and light trucks in the U.S. this year through March, the most in any quarter since the last three months of 2007.
The auto industry is on track to consume 4% more aluminum this year as the average North American car adds 14 pounds of the metal in 2013 compared with last year, according to research by O'Carroll.
Alcoa's revenue fell 2.9% to $5.83 billion, missing the $5.88 billion average of 11 estimates. The company cited lower metal prices and the impact of smelter curtailments in Spain and Italy for the decline in sales.

Space can be a potentially hazardous environment to live and work in, especially when it comes to radiation. Originating from violent storms on the sun and galactic cosmic rays produced in distant supernovae explosions, this natural radiation can pose a serious health risk for astronauts on long-duration space missions like those on the International Space Station.
Like a protective bubble, Earth's atmosphere and magnetosphere shields life on our planet from this never-ending bombardment of high-energy particles. However, in low-Earth orbit where the space station flies, astronauts are regularly exposed to high doses of radiation, including charged particles trapped in Earth's magnetic field, as well as cosmic rays and solar radiation.
To prepare for future missions that may last for months or years, the Canadian Space Agency, or CSA, along with other space agencies around the world, have been stepping up research into radiation biology in recent years, recognizing that it deserves the highest priority.
During CSA astronaut Chris Hadfield's mission to the space station, he will carry a new set of instruments into orbit to measure one of the most serious types of radiation — caused by high-energy neutron particles — and monitor the dose an astronaut absorbs during space flight.
What is Neutron Radiation?
Neutron radiation is considered to be one of the most severe of all types of radiation experienced in space as it can cause biological damage. It represents approximately 30 percent of the total exposure for those aboard the station. In space, neutrons are produced when charged particles collide with physical matter, such as the walls and equipment on the space station. Just like medical X-rays, these high-energy particles can shoot through delicate body tissues, and through long-term exposure, they can damage DNA and potentially cause cataracts, bone marrow damage or even cancer.
It's all in the bubbles — Bubbles and Radiation Trouble
Radi-N2 is Canada's second generation of neutron radiation monitoring aboard the station and continues on where fellow Canadian astronaut Robert Thirsk and the original Radi-N experiment left off in 2009.
A collaborative effort between the CSA and Russia's RSC-Energia and State Research Center of Russia Institute of Biomedical Problems, or IBMP, Russian Academy of Sciences, the Radi-N2 study will have Hadfield and fellow crew member Roman Romanenko measure the neutron radiation levels on the station while onboard the station for Expedition 34/35.
Radi-N2 uses bubble detectors produced by a Canadian company, Bubble Technology Industries of Chalk River, Ontario, designed to focus on detecting neutrons while ignoring other types of radiation. Bubble detectors have been used in space for more than two decades on space shuttle missions and the MIR space station, and have become popular because of their accuracy and convenience.
Eight of these finger-sized instruments are going to be placed by Hadfield and Romanenko around various space station modules. Each detector is filled with a clear polymer gel, inside which are liquid droplets. When a neutron strikes the test tube, a droplet may be vaporized. This creates a visible gas bubble in the polymer. Each bubble, which represents neutron radiation, is then placed within an automatic reader and counted.
Radi-N2 will provide critical information for potential future human missions to the moon, asteroids and eventually Mars.
CSA's support of radiation research will not only lead to major advancements for future human exploration of space but also in our knowledge of the health risks of radiation, such as cancer, neurological damage and degenerative tissue disease.

Tim unleashed a pretty killer crossover himself last night. Just was too tired to finish at the rim
The Massacre At Welsh Ryan
Dustin Johnson/UMHoops
There were four of them, concerned—and perhaps a bit captivated—by Trey Burke's presence. Before the ball even reached his hands they converged, four Northwestern players ignoring the basic tenets of basketball defense in a desperate ploy to stop this whirling dervish.
Like a wide receiver coming out of his break, Burke planted, hard, exploding off his left foot. There was a man there harboring vague hopes of impediment, hopes that were dashed as Burke deftly whipped the ball behind his back. Screeching to a halt with one last dribble, he rose above the three remaining Wildcats and hit Nik Stauskas with a pass so pinpoint it seemed to initiate the Canadian's shooting motion.
Stauskas, naturally, drilled the corner three—a disturbing reminder to the Northwestern Four that, my god, Trey Burke has accomplices.
At this point, Burke had already scored 13 points on 5-6 shooting—his only miss a Kobe Assist—and recorded two steals. He'd just committed two turnovers so uncharacteristic that ESPN's cameras later caught Burke in the huddle looking less angry than befuddled. Retribution was swift, and Michigan now led 25-9.
The rest of the proceedings were purely academic.
Burke's final stat line—23 points, four rebounds, five assists, four steals—somehow belies his dominance. If he so desired, he could've scored 40; just ask Dave Sobolewski, victimized by so many Burke crossovers I'd no less blame him for quitting the game than Vincent Smith after the Clowney hit.
Instead, all five Michigan starters finished in double figures while shooting a combined 64.5%, a number that would've been even higher had Stauskas not surprisingly missed a few wide-open looks. Burke had done what he needed to secure victory with his opening foray; for the rest of the game he played the role of setup man, interspersing attacks to remind Northwestern whom they had to focus their attention upon.
2012-13 was supposed to be the Year of Prodigious Talent, the convergence of a pair of future NBA players with Michigan's best freshman class since the Fab Five. It still is, of course. But more than that, it's the Year of Trey Burke, Virtuoso. Come for the potential Final Four team, stay for the once-in-a-generation point guard.
Burke, quite literally, brought Northwestern to their knees. Ever the merciful killer, it took him a matter of minutes to put the Wildcats out of their misery. Surrounded by a fearsome gang—The Mississauga Sniper, Spawn of Killer Crossover, Spawn of Big Dog, The Big Puppy—he prepares to rampage through the Big Ten.
Consider the Massacre at Welsh-Ryan a warning.
I've been more and more impressed with Levert, did you notice his burke impression at the end of the game with his step back three that left him about 10 feet of room on his defender?
The close to this write up was awesome Ace.
That seemed forced.
I'm going to be so confused if/when they finally lose a game. The only thing in Michigan basketball history I can remember being comparable is the sophomore year of the Fab 5. Those 5 young men were simply amazing to watch. You knew that if they had put in the effort they could have won every time they stepped on the court.
With this team, the effort is there every night it seems. I honestly don't understand how Duke is the nearly consensus #1 team.
Tenets, not tennants. Though the mental imagery, to be honest, amuses...
Whoops. Thanks for that.
OK. I pondered whether or not to get into that, just because the slight mishap detracted not a whit to the overall and complete destruction of our overmatched opponent.
Keep up the excellent content, young man!
1. I really like your passion and creativity.
2. It's "tenets" unless you are actually living at Welsh-Ryan.
3. I honestly found the use of the term "Massacre" in the title and the related violent metaphors used throughout your post off-putting. Particularly in light of recent events.
Go Blue...
Sven DM
And yet you seem to be ok with the term "shooting" for throwing a ball into a basket.
Such words forever, or just until you and others like you, tell us it is okay to start using them again? Of course, that time will never come because there will be still another senseless killing somewhere.
Check your privilege, cis scum.
/s, obvs
keep those thoughts to yourself....this is already a place of political correctness (sometimes too PC for my taste)
To be mean, but Vincent Smith is in fact quitting the game after the Clowney hit.
Only 5 assists for Burke? Seems like he had at least 8 or so
I have not enjoyed watching a college player like that for a while. He is so in control and aware of how the pieces work in that complex offense, I am just in awe when I see him play.
Is Sobocop lining up on the D-Line against Burke in that pic? That won't end well.
tried and failed at covering Burke a number of times in the game, that photo is just one of many instances where Burke faked him right out of his shorts.
Just commenting on another interpretation of what Sobocop is doing in that photo. Thought it was entertaining.
I hope the next player who considers going pro after a good but not great year takes a look at what Burke is doing for his draft status. The arguement for leaving last year was "he's not going to get any taller so he might as well go now" seems pretty hollow given the comparisons now to Chris Paul and his possible lottery selection. He has moved his probable income significantly simply by staying put and getting much, much better.
It will be interesting to see the difference in guarenteed money and career length between Morris and Burke given that one left after his one good year and one stayed and became great.
Just positing a theory...would Darius have shown the same learning/growth curve by staying? My sense is it's hard to say/confirm with any semblance of certainty. We know M definitely could have used his talent, fo sho. Sometimes, the player needs to buy into his coaches direction, rather than his own teenage knuckleheadedness (see BWC for a prime example)...and Jake Long for the other end of the spectrum. Different strokes for different (or diff'rent) folks!
an outsider, to control for here. Sorry, but this meme should be put out of its misery.
In case we need to repeat--Darius has been starting for the LA Lakers recently. He had a million issues to deal with, including family and advice from the pros. Stop being silly.
But you correctly point out that everyone who said "he can't get any better, he can't get bigger, he can't increase his stock" aren't really any more in the know than people who say "he should come back." But in this case it's readily apparent that coming back was a good idea.
...who's to say Burke would be this good without the experience he gained being "forced" to play after Morris left? He would've gotten a year of learning the offense behind Morris, but doing beats watching 9 times out of 10.
Just my 2¢.
English Plz?
Many like to make fun of Mitch McGary's so called clumsiness. I ain't buyin' it. Think of the number of times he has taken the ball away out on the perimeter; McGary has more steals at the top of the key in 14 games than Jordan Morgan has in his career. He is either quicker than he looks, blessed with great anticipation, or both. Every game this guy gets his hands on a couple of balls, proceeding to ignite a fast break opportunity. The kicker is he is getting his steals using bad fundamentals. McGary's steal at the top of the key last night was a good example. He should be using his left arm to bat the ball away, instead, he consistently reaches for the ball across his body with his right hand. Watch out if he gets his fundamentals down.
was how we came out for a B1G road game and played seriously throughout the game.
That's what championship level teams do, they put the gauntlet down and never look back.
I really, really like our chances against anyone we face. This might go down as my favorite M B-Ball squad ever and that's saying something.
Ace - awesome game write up. Just wanted to say I love your writing. Keep up the great work!
Just wanted to log in for the first time in over a year to complement Ace on the post game writeup. Great read, thanks for giving me goosebumps.
I have attended every game aside from this one this year. It seems that we lose a step in the 2nd half but regain our lead in the last 5 minutes. Did NW go on a run at all in the 2nd half?
ESPN full play by play lives here:
The closest thing to a run was the first 1:05 of the 2nd half, when NW outscored Michigan 6-2. At the 18:55 mark of the 2nd half, NW got to within 17 points (53-36). Michigan scored the next 10 points and the lead never got below 20 points the rest of the game.
taste, but if you're going to be this flowery you usually want to leaven it with a little irony, not just worship at the shrine of all things UM. The scary thing about this team for me is that they can still get so much better.
With a team like this, how ironic can you be? The ESPN announcers gushed even more during the game. It may be time to leave the snark aside and just enjoy the moment.
If flowery pose and hero worship were a normal occurrence on this blog, I'd agree.. but one of the reasons I enjoy reading this blog is the healthy perspective Brian, Ace, and company share. Michigan just won a road Big Ten game by its largest margin in over 40 years. If you're a Michigan basketball fan and you can't get excited by that, I'm not sure what to tell you.
Sure, the defense is imperfect, but the offense just rose to #1 in KenPom's efficiency ratings, and Ace is hardly the only person who noticed that this was the most complete game the team has played all season. And, yes, the team can get better -- but, with the possible exception of the CMU game, they have gotten better, pretty much every game. If Stauskas's open looks went down at his normal rate, and a couple of other shots rimmed in instead of rimming out, this game could easily have been a 40+ point win, on the road, in under 70 possessions, in a gym where Michigan has struggled over the past several years.
I say, let the hyperbole fly -- but it's tough being hyperbolic about Burke. He's just been that good.
[Edited for pronoun referential integrity]
Ace is not being flowery. Burke and this team are THAT good.
This team says all the right things, but their eyes growl "bring it" and their game backs it up. Cannot wait for Sunday noon.
I got Goosebumps a couple times while reading...

After all of my problems with electrical things (okay just the radio really) on my 93 loyale, the headlights just up and quit . I haven't sorted out how to approach this one other than to replace the fuses, which I have done. I can't figure out if there would be some way to check the electrical system without buying some testing equipment (and with my extremely limited knowledge) or if I should just bite the bullet and take it into a shop. I'm sure an electrical problem would be quite costly. Any suggestions?

You should purchase a test light probe at least to help with trouble. They are less than 10 dollars and will show you if you have power getting to the test point for sure. You just clip one end to ground and touch the test spot with the probe. If the light turns on you are good to go.
Check the fusible links in the box mounted on the coolant reservoir and make sure they are ok and making good contact on both sides. My manual shows the red one supplies power to the head lights for a '88 model and yours is probably the same. If they are ok then I would suspect the switch next. It supplies a ground to the lights to turn them on.

Fusible links, as suggested above, fuse, or relay. I believe the relays are under the dash near the fuse panel, but don't quote me on that.
Posted 08 September 2006 - 02:44 PM
Well, the fuseable links are under the hood and I merely looked at them and they appeared okay just old. I will have to check out that test light thing and see if that makes a difference. I've already replaced the fuses but I was wondering if the bulbs themselves would be the culprit. The way it happened was that one side went out then the other shortly after, so I'm thinking that logically it's the bulbs themselves. Should I be able to replace just the bulb (god I'm a NEWB) and not have to replace the entire headlight? If so, perhaps I could try that next as a pair of small bulbs shouldn't be that expensive right?

Sounds like the bulbs. They are easy to replace, but you may have to remove the barrery to get to the left one. Unscrew the retainer and pull the bulb out, disconnect the wire connector and replace the lamp. Just don't touch the glass portion of the bulb with your fingers or anything really. The oil from your skin or dirt from the other parts in the area will create a hot spot and burn up the lamp.

Since the lights didn't go out at the same time then the trouble most likely is just the bulbs. You may also want to check the charging voltage to make sure it is not too high and causing this problem to occur.

Other major milestones include:
• Securing 34 federal, state and local permits to begin construction
• All work completed in the 4-month, in-water construction window
• Drilling for the first shaft is complete; crews are placing the rebar cage (in two sections).
The 7.3-mile project is the region's sixth MAX line to be built and extends from the terminus of the MAX Green and Yellow lines at Portland State University to South Waterfront, Southeast Portland, Milwaukie and Park Avenue in Clackamas County. It will create about 14,000 jobs and generate $573 million in personal earnings. When it opens in September 2015, it will extend the MAX system to 60 miles.

PRAGUE, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Production at TPCA, the Czech car assembly plant jointly owned by Toyota Motor Corp and PSA Peugeot Citroen, is likely to drop to around 200,000 vehicles this year from 215,000 in 2012, a company spokesman said on Wednesday. While the Czech Republic's other two car plants have been increasing output or running at full capacity in recent months, TPCA, with its portfolio of small cars, is suffering more from poor European sales. "Currently we are ...

So what's the verdict?Quote:
According to ESPN New York, free agent SS LaRon Landry is "believed" to be seeking $6 million a year.
For the elite safety Landry envisions himself being, it's actually not ridiculous money. Landry, somewhat surprisingly, made it through a full 16-game season in 2012 and forced six turnovers while recording 100 tackles. Last July, the Raiders signed SS Tyvon Branch to a four-year deal averaging $6.65 million annually. So Landry isn't trying to become the richest safety in the game.
Is Landry worth 6 mil a year? Seems a bit expensive for a safety. I'm sure Landry will test the market, but I doubt he'll get that much. I'll take him back for 4 mil a hyear. Anything more, forget about it.
