If there's one thing we know about the Kardashian's, it's that they're go-getters. But with the recent announcement in WWD that the three sisters are launching a sunless tanning line—Kardashian Sun Kissed—we guess you could call them glow-getters. Har har.
"I think tanning has really been a way of life for all of us, living in California," Cosmo cover girl Kim told WWD. "Especially, more recently, the need for sunless tan. When I travel, the one thing that makes me feel alive whether or not I have makeup on is a tan, especially in my face. [But] when you travel, you can't just go lay out." Also, we should add that you should make sure you're properly protected from the sun whenever you're outside!
"[So, we] came up with something that is still good for your skin and healthy for you; everything is paraben- and sulfate-free," Kourtney said. "We love beauty and fashion, but making sure we're taking care of our bodies is crucial to us."
The girls' golden skin-inducing line, available exclusively at Ulta in April, includes three steps and ranges in price from $13 to $20: Step one includes either the Body Exfoliator or Color Maximizer; step two, you can choose between the Instant Sunless Lotion or Instant Sunless Spray; and step three is all about applying the Tan Extender with Bronzers.
Sounds easy enough, right?
We're psyched to test out this insta-bombshell self-tanning system next month, especially since leg-showing season is right around the corner. Are you?

Did you set voodoo=opengl in dosbox.conf? Carmageddon 3Dfx runs quite well even on my laptop.
No, I noticed lots of references to different configuration options for the different patches and couldn't find the right ones, I'll try that.

Drumm served as one of the skippers for Harvard during the Sharpe Trophy team race this weeekend, helping Harvard to a fourth-place finish. (Gil Talbot)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard sailing team opened its spring season with a fourth-place showing at the Sharpe Trophy, hosted by MIT this weekend. The Crimson went 8-6 in two round robins, and 1-2 in the final four contests, to finish the weekend 9-8 overall.
Harvard opened up with wins over Boston College, Connecticut College, Dartmouth and Tufts, to finish Day 1 with a 4-3 mark. The Camels of Connecticut College held the top spot at the end of the first round robin, recording a 6-1 mark, while Tufts (5-2) sat in second headed into Day 2.
On Saturday the Crimson again went 4-3, earning victories over Boston College, Brown, MIT and Roger Williams. At 8-6, Harvard was tied with Brown (8-6) for fourth-place and the right to compete in the final four events. The Crimson went on to defeat Brown in a sail-off for the final spot setting up matchups against Connecticut College (11-3), Dartmouth (10-4), Tufts (9-5) to decide who would secure the Sharpe Trophy.
In the final-four round robin Harvard defeated Tufts for its lone win. Connecticut College swept the competition going 3-0, while Dartmouth and Tufts both went 1-2 to round out the final-four standings.
Connecticut College won the regatta with the best record of 14-3, while Dartmouth finished second at 11-6 followed by Tufts (10-7) and Harvard (9-8).
Eight Harvard sailors competed this weekend, as seniors Brendan Kopp, Emily Lambert along with freshmen, Gram Slattery, Michael Drumm and Brian Drumm, shared the skippering duties for the Crimson. Freshman Sarah Pierson and sophomores Isabel Ruane and Alice Kenney split time as crew.
Harvard will next take to the water on March 17-18, when it competes at Truxtun Umsted hosted by Navy.

Worst wedding picture ever? Man kicks bridesmaid, rips pants
"The most disastrous wedding pic" is making the rounds online.
The photo, which was taken in Jamaica, was submitted to Reddit on July 10 and picked up by Someecards.com. The website called it the "most disastrous wedding pic ever taken" and it has been shared more than 13,200 times as of July 13.
Tyler Foster, of Spokane, Wash., is the man jumping in the air doing a toe touch. He posted his picture on Reddit as Tfoster7102 and it has more than 6 million readers to date. According to Reddit, Foster was at his cousin's affair.
He originally titled it, "So I jumped, kicked this bridesmaid in the head, and ripped my pants."
The picture is certainly a far cry from wedding photos that have gone viral lately with dramatic backgrounds of a tornado and wildfire.
However, this must have created its own kind of storm at the occasion.

The Thieves and Sexual Assailants are playing musical chairs with their porno-scanners. They're shuffling carcinogenic backscatter X-ray machines out of larger airports, such as New York's LaGuardia and JFK International, into smaller ones � but that doesn't mean they've renounced their voyeurism. Oh my, no. Rather, they're replacing backscatter with millimeter-wave technology. (Contrary to the lamestream media's claims, millimeter waves are not safe for use on humans: there's evidence they "unzip� DNA and create "bubbles� in the strands. Only psychopaths and sadists would unleash either technology on millions of victims every day, as does the TSA.)
The agency has always relied on both techniques to ogle you. I've never read an explanation as to how its criminals decide which lethal machines will hit which airports; I assume it has something to do with the checkpoint's configuration. But now Our Rulers deign to tell us why they're rearranging their toys: "In an effort to ensure the most efficient and effective use of security technology, TSA is strategically reallocating backscatter advance imaging technology units in order to allow for expanded use of advance imaging technology units at other airports.� Translation from the Jargon: X-rays need a few seconds longer than millimeter waves to denude prey, so the TSA is unloading them on terminals with fewer passengers.
From their introduction in 2002, and especially with their nationwide roll-out in 2010, these mechanical Peeping Toms have infuriated passengers because of their devastating threats to our health and privacy. Remember that the TSA lies about everything, all the time; that the corporate media unerringly regurgitates those lies; and that most passengers understand little about millimeter-wave scanners, let alone their dangers. So wouldn't you think that the boneheaded, universally hated TSA would lie now in an effort to manufacture some goodwill? Wouldn't you think it would confess only to removing X-ray gizmos from some airports, deny that it's installing them in others, and pretend to concern for passengers' well-being? But no. Instead, the agency has repeatedly stressed that "efficient and effective use of security technology� is the only reason for this "reallocation.�
Serfs, listen up: Your Masters do not fear you, nor tremble at your loathing. They do as they please without any regard whatever for you or for common decency and basic humanity. We exist only to enrich them and their cronies and to make them feel important as they lord it over us.

oh my goodness.
i haven't been on the blog since july. JULY.
this summer came and it went... soon we'll be getting ready for thanksgiving.
where has this year gone?
and i know very well that i'm far too old to be writing anything entitled
how i spent my summer, yet here i am.
honestly, i don't really want to talk about my summer.
but if i did, i could tell you about how we stayed home. a lot.
and that we only went swimming twice. all. summer. long.
i could tell you how our garden really stunk and the canning was almost nill.
i could also say that i spent nearly every waking moment researching for this school year, and making sure i was ready to officially home school a high school student. my brain literally hurt at the end of each day, but it was exciting.
i might also tell you that we saw all the big super hero/action movies (thor, green lantern, captain america, pirates of the caribbean, cowboys & aliens), but that might be a little too much insight into the real priorities in my life.
all i know is that i was busy and i did not blog.
and i really didn't miss it. {insert cringe here}
so, i've been thinking about blogging and about not blogging.
i think i'd really like to get back to it. i think i've got some things to say and maybe some resources that others might find useful.
i've got lots of ideas for posts ranging anywhere from ...photos that i'm loving, to teaching my guys greek & latin roots, to an art curriculum i'm designing, to why i tried the no-shampoo method of washing my hair this year.
(yes... yes i did & i know you can't wait to hear about it)
now, i know that all sounds just awesome, yet i find myself struggling just to keep the toilets clean these days!
just keepin it real, peeps.
so how am i going to fit blogging in there? i don't know.
and now i'm having a conversation with myself. ☺
so, give me a shout out. tell me how you do it all, if you do it all,
and what the heck... even if you don't.
throw some encouragement my way!
i could use it right about now.

37 Home Library Design Ideas With a Jay-Dropping Visual and Cultural Effect
Probably the most "sacred" room of the entire crib, the home library combines relaxation with personal growth and completes the genuine atmosphere of a modern residence or apartment. As a tribute to these contemporary indoor oases, we put together a post with 37 beautiful home libraries, bearing within knowledge and acting as a refuge from the hectic lifestyle characterizing big cities. There are many ideas from the photos below we find inspiring, starting with the circular bookshelves in the shape of an indoor dome, the attic room library or the suspended above-the-stairs shelving system. The fireplace bookshelf is also an intriguing and daring idea, provided it is never left unsupervised.
We also love reading nooks and window seats surrounded by books, which make for great relaxations spots. Depending on the features of each home, a library can be extended horizontally or vertically. Some of the photos below present seamlessly infinite walls, with a jaw-dropping effect-just imagine the feeling of being surrounded by thousands of books in the comfort of your own home! We invite you to have a look at the home library designs below and choose your favorite. What are the ideas you find most appealing and how would you integrate them in your own crib?

The myths about renting property in Spain
"Spanish property market shrinks 28% in January"; "Bank of Spain warns of further house price fall" – If you are one of the people who has a home in Spain that you use, enjoy and want to keep for good, these headlines won't really matter to you. The value of your property is in the pleasure you get from it. But behind these headlines are individual stories of people who need to sell for all kinds of different reasons and can't. For them it's not just a matter of pulling down the 'se vende' sign and riding it out.

On The Job With Yadi
After St. Louis won Game 5 of the NLDS, the Cardinal Nation Twittersphere was obviously jubilant and busy. I happened upon a tweet by fellow Cardinal blogger Dennis Lawson that talked about the hug Adam Wainwright got from Yadier Molina at the conclusion of Wednesday night's clincher and compared it to the hug Jason Motte got from Molina at the securing of the last out of the 2011 World Series. After a quick exchange, Dennis remarked "Seriously, I want to celebrate the end of a work day with a Yadi hug."
It's a funny mental picture, depending on your job. And it got me thinking: that would actually make a great "This is SportsCenter" commercial.
You've seen these spots advertising ESPN's flagship news and highlights show; athletes or mascots or pop culture luminaries interact with SportsCenter anchors in the offices or on the set of the network's headquarters and awkward hilarity ensues. Albert Pujols as "The Machine," somewhat vanilla football commentator John Clayton as a metal head, and this misunderstanding in the lunch line are a few of my favorites. Proposing ideas for these commercials is certainly nothing new, but I'm going to give it a whirl. I'm emulating the "This is SportsCenter" model so of course the settings and cast will follow suit.
Scene 1
SportsCenter anchor John Anderson gets out of his car to head into work at the start of the day. He is met by Yadier Molina in full uniform and gear (but carrying his mask), who walks Anderson into the building like he would walk from the bullpen to the dugout with that day's starting pitcher. While they're walking Molina says "OK John, you have a tough day today: full NFL schedule, MLB playoffs, hockey highlights. Here (hands Anderson a sheet of paper) is your list of catch phrases; stick to the game plan and we should get through OK." Anderson agrees with everything Molina says.
Scene 2
Cut to the lunchroom, and anchor Scott Van Pelt is looking in the fridge. He says "Hmm, I wonder what John brought me for lunch today…" Suddenly the door is slammed shut, almost smashing his hand. Van Pelt straightens and turns; Molina is standing there (full uniform and gear, but again no mask) slowly shaking his head and says, firmly, "NO STEALING." Van Pelt mumbles an apology and sulks out of the room while Molina looks at him disapprovingly.
Scene 3
Cut to the SportsCenter studio, showing Anderson in the middle of anchoring but from over his shoulder so the ESPN cameras and teleprompters are visible too. Among the cameras is Molina in his crouch (full gear with mask). As Anderson is setting up a highlight, Molina puts down a two fingers sign; Anderson pauses for an instant to glance at the catch phrase sheet Molina gave him earlier and smoothly delivers catch phrase #2.
Scene 4
Anderson, obviously tired and a little disheveled after a long day, punches out at a time clock and, turning, raises his hands in relief and joy. The camera then pans back to show Molina doing the same thing and running toward Anderson; they hug and jump and yell as if they just won the World Series while "This is SportsCenter" appears on the screen.
I'm not sure if all of that could be squeezed into 30 seconds; maybe the lunchroom scene would have to be a short follow-up commercial. But I think it works. Because let's face it…we'd all be a little happier at our jobs if we knew even the toughest day might end with a hug from Yadi.

The Tennessee Titans head into the upcoming season with a decision to make regarding Jake Locker and if he will be the franchise's quarterback in the forseeable future. Ken Whisenhunt has not been shy in hedging his bets, and it's possible the new head coach could look toward the 2014 NFL Draft to find a capable backup for the oft-injured Locker or even somebody to take over for him down the road.
2014 NFL Draft Winds
College Football 24/7 takes a look at the rumors connecting draft prospects with NFL teams leading up to the 2014 NFL Draft.
» AFC East | North | South | West
» NFC East | North | South | West
» Tracking teams' interest in top prospects
Now a starting NFL quarterback such as Locker is usually a pretty popular player. When he's not starring in commercials off the field or taking home the biggest paycheck on the team, chances are you can find the starter taking care of his best friends on the team: the offensive line. That's what makes Titans guard Chance Warmack's comments on NFL Network's "Path to the Draft" on Friday all the more interesting.
While discussing potential draft picks for the team, the conversation turned to Warmack's former teammate at Alabama, quarterback AJ McCarron.
"I hope we get him. I don't know what round we can get him in, but I definitely want him in Tennessee," Warmack said. "He's a winner. He's a great guy to be around and he'll help the locker room. He's not selfish as a quarterback and he's going to make the right plays on the field. If he doesn't start, when he gets drafted by the Tennessee Titans he'll definitely help."
After saying all that, things could be just a tad awkward for Warmack when he returns to Tennessee and bumps into Locker.
Of course, Warmack probably isn't giving an indictment of Locker's ability to lead the club to wins, but it nevertheless remains an interesting thing to say heading into a big year for the quarterback. It's also no surprise to see him lobby so hard for a signal-caller he won a pair of national titles with at Alabama in McCarron.
"I had a chance to see him at the A-Day (spring) game and told him I hope we draft him," Warmack added. "I mess with him from time to time, but you'll definitely see a big smile on my face if we pick him up. I'll definitely be happy."
Warmack might want to send a text to Locker to clear anything up if he is going to end up blocking for him early in the season this year.
McCarron wasn't the only former Crimson Tide player that Warmack chatted about on the show. Turning into an extra-large version of NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock, the Titans' starting guard also evaluated a few of the potential first-round picks Alabama has in the draft this year.
"Honestly I think he should go no later than the first round, like the 20th pick," Warmack said about offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio. "He plays dirty and with an edge on him. That's what you need with a tackle. You can plug him in at left or right and he's really athletic. I haven't seen a guy like that since Andre Smith at Alabama."
On linebacker C.J. Mosley: "One thing that stands out the most is his intelligence. You can plug him into a 3-4 or a 4-3 and he'll be tremendously good on your defense. He's a team player who is really communicative in practice and on the field during a game. I had a chance to go against him in practice and he had me spinning a couple of times when we hit each other."
On safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix: "He's a head-hunter, he'll knock you out point-blank. He's really, really fast and has tons of athleticism. He picks up the coverages really quickly and knows what the quarterback is thinking and who's he's going to pass to. He's always making big plays."
Nick Saban probably agrees with Warmack's scouting reports, but probably wants to tell the guard to avoid calling a safety a "head-hunter" in today's NFL. The second-year offensive lineman might also want to avoid making eye contact with Locker when he shows up for mini-camp too.

Five years in the making, it is the most aerodynamic road bike in the world. No other road bike comes close. Evolved from the original, already best in class Felt AR, the all-new 2014 Felt AR Series adds new meaning to the term "aero."
Every available technical resource, including the latest computational fluid dynamics, rapid prototyping, wind tunnel testing and real world testing was used to develop a road bike with drag numbers previously seen only on TT/Tri bikes. Without exaggeration, it is a bike that will change every aspect of road cycling.
How much more aerodynamic is the new Felt AR? Neutral wind tunnel testing proves that the 2014 AR is 14.7% faster than the previous Felt AR and 28.7-31.1% faster (contingent on front brake selection) than a round tube, baseline road bike. That is a quantifiable energy savings and time advantage that no other road bike can match.
The new Felt AR has all the superb ride characteristics desired in a road bike; optimized geometry, stiff, lively responsiveness out of the saddle with rail-like cornering and descending. With the new Felt AR you do not have to sacrifice weight, stiffness or ride quality to gain an aerodynamic advantage. Superior, world-class ride quality is combined with a previously unavailable aerodynamic advantage.
As you would expect with any Felt, each AR is outfitted with a full complement of race-ready components, all designed to deliver your best performance ever.

A new "objectionable materials" ordinance will give the Southington police more tools to deal with dangerous objects in town, including the growing problem of "synthetic marijuana."
"It's usually an herb sprayed with a chemical designed to give it the same effect as marijuana," said Sergeant Jeff Dobratz, spokesman for the Police Department.
Since they are not technically marijuana, none of these synthetic substitutes are illegal under federal or state law. It's even possible to get them at gas stations or 24-hour markets, where they are kept behind the counter until requested by customers.
"There's been growing awareness of this for a while, but we hadn't heard much here," said Youth Services Director Sue Saucier. "Now we're hearing that a number of older teens are involved with this, buying it for themselves and for others. It's sometimes marketed as incense, but people know what they're buying."
The Youth Services department, along with other local organizations that work against drug use in the community, are deeply concerned about this new trend. For whatever other negative effects it may have, marijuana is an organic product and its effects have been studied in detail. These substitutes are still mysterious to the public at large.
"With these chemicals, you never really know how your body will react," Saucier said. "You don't know if there's something in there that can do real damage."
When the Town Council discussed the ordinance as a whole, Town Attorney Mark Sciota emphasized the synthetic marijuana when referencing the overall list of materials.
"It's become a very, very dangerous thing in Southington and in Connecticut," he said.
The officials emphasized that simply adding one type of synthetic marijuana to the objectionable materials list would do little to solve the problem. Those who produce it could simply change one of the ingredients and it would no longer fall under the restrictions. With this is mind, the list is designed to be fluid, allowing the police to add new items without having to go through the entire process of council approval.
"We want to go this route with this objectionable products because they change so often that we can't possibly change the ordinance to keep up," said Town Councilor Chris Palmieri. "We identified what we are trying to prevent so it's more vague and more encompassing on all the types of products. I think it will be beneficial for us to move forward and work with the police department."
Police hope that the new authority granted by the ordinance will help them make some progress towards keeping the synthetic marijuana off the streets.
"Nobody is going to be taken into custody or anything like that, but the ordinance would allow us to give out infractions and confiscate the material as evidence," Dobratz said.

Hello guys!
Can someone help me with Autoboxing/Unautoboxing? Any simple example should work cause I just started reading about OOP and don't know much about it yet.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello guys!
Can someone help me with Autoboxing/Unautoboxing? Any simple example should work cause I just started reading about OOP and don't know much about it yet.
Thanks in advance!!
Google has a wealth of examples on autoboxing, so I encourage you to do a quick search to understand it more thoroughly. Here is one example
Integer i = 20;
And Unboxing?
int j = i;
I meant converting it to a normal int from an object Integer.
First, see my post above. Second, go to Bbr's post (note the same variable names). Last but not least: autoboxing unboxing java - Google Search
Why do you want to use boxing?
Sometimes hidden conversions can fool you. Better to write the code needed to do the job.
boxing could be suitable for one off programs like students create and then discard.
I wouldn't use it in a production program that is to be maintained for years by multiple programmers.
Sometimes boxing is necessary (and quite helpful). For example, you can't use primitives as generic parameters.
ArrayList<Integer> myList = new ArrayList<Integer>(); // must use the Integer wrapper class in generics myList.add(1); // 1 is of type int, not Integer. However, it gets auto-boxed so this is perfectly legal
The equivalent code without using auto-boxing (well, technically this is still "boxing", or wrapping, but it's not automatic)
Helpful is good for one off student programs or lazy programmers.
What excuse is there for using hidden compiler tricks that could potentially confuse/mislead some one working on a program?
I just gave a perfectly clear example of why Auto-boxing is useful
From a code maintainability standpoint, the first piece of code I have is much easier to read. In industry, code maintainability is almost always a top priority (depending on the situation, performance sometimes dominates over maintainability, or laziness/time constraints can dominate too).
Also, whenever you use math operations with Integer/wrapper classes, the values are un-boxed to perform the operations (of course, this issue could be circumvented by having overloaded operators, but this is how Java decided to implement it).
So, this prevents you from having to do something like this:
Integer a = new Integer(5); Integer b = new Integer(3); // perform (a + b) * (a - b) // these methods actually don't exist in the Integer class, but hopefully you can tell what it is they are doing // this is actually very similar to how you would have to do this if you were to use BigInteger, but that's a whole other can of worms Integer c = a.add(b).multiply(a.subtract(b));
If you were someone looking at this, wouldn't you prefer (a + b) * (a - b)? It would definitely be much easier to read, and it would also be much easier to write in the first place (you get the benefits of order of operations between operators).
Basically, the thing about auto-boxing is just know it's there (actually, you can even get by and "inadvertently" use this feature without even knowing it exists or what it's called). There's no extra work on your part (actually, quite the opposite, there's loads less work).
This is why people don't generally use assembly all the time, or even worse hand-code out the machine code. It's because some computer scientist came along and decided "this is a lot of work. I wonder what's the easiest (or laziest) way I can get this done?"
Just for fun, here's how this operation would have to be carried out using z80 assembly (a very old assembly language, I know, but it demonstrates the point)
ld a, 5 ld b, 3 add a,b ld d,a ld a,5 ld b,3 sub b ld b,a ld a,d multiplyLoop: add a,d dec b jp nz, mulitplyLoop

Hello guys,
First THANK YOU ALL! for taking the time to reply! And second I think i'm moving a bit to fast from basic Java to OOP, it's all being to much at once. So I thought about it and I decided to work on mastering what I know before I go in to vectors, JFrame, multi classes and all of the other advanced Java programing things.
If you guys could link me to sites that have none OOP source code for me to play around with, that would be the great(Failed on finding one :/ gl). The only OOP elements I wouldn't mind are inheritance, a bit of vectors would be fine too, I think.
Thanks again and sorry for my late reply!
Java's an all OOP language, so it's fairly difficult to write Java procedurally (not to say it isn't possible, but it's generally not something you would want to do)
In all reality, you only need to know 3 basic concepts about OOP:
1. Abstraction - "It doesn't matter what's actually happening, I just want to know how to use it"
2. Inheritance - "I get everything my ancestors have plus what I have"
3. Polymorphism - "I can look like me, or I can look like my parent/grand parent/etc, but I am still me!"
interfaces fall along the same lines as abstraction.

What I meant by non OOP source code was code with just the basic variables, loops and arrays. I use Java in 24 hours by SAMS publishing, and if you've read the book you must have felt it's to much in a few pages/resources at times. I am not too comfy at all with the basics yet esp loops. About 2 month since I started and I want to play around with what I know before moving on.
I found this not sure it will help being a full course, could be useful after the book. But something I can use along the book would be great!!
Oh and here is are links I found to a site that has free courses on tech related stuff, hope someone can use them!

The thing to watch out for with autoboxing is the (rare) situations where it is important to the code to distinguish between primitive numerics and their wrapper classes.

Hello and welcome to my profile.
My name is EarReaders3077 (not really but you can call me that here ). I'm 26 years old guy residing in the north of the subcontinent of India. I am an introvert person in real life, which is why I try to be very friendly here on kat.
I have been browsing kat for years now downloading all the holy-unholy stuff which it so kindly offers. But I didn't register myself here because kat never asked me to and I have always been a big seeder although, my maximum uploading speed is just 100 kbps and I cant help a whole lot of you guys but I try my best with whatever resources I have.
I have always been a huge fan of audiobooks and I have been collecting them from how long, I don't even remember. I polished my collection in my precious lil hard disk and felt like I am a proud owner of very precious jewels which no one knows about.
Then all of a sudden a thought just struck me that why don't I start sharing the audiobooks I have collected and help everyone who is searching for them. So, I decided to make an account and started uploading. I was awestruck by the response I received from this community, so many likes and thank you's on my torrents, it motivated me so much to upload and I have been uploading since.
As to my hobbies, I love to play chess and read novels. I am a huge fan of Sherlock's and Harry Potter's be it books/audiobooks/movies/tv show.
I strive to grow with everyone here.This is hands down the best website for torrents and it's such a big community full of resources. I feel so glad to be a small smudge of this huge community of people so knowledgeable and reliable and assisting everyone day in and day out. I wish to be a part of this community till the end of times. I wish you all the very best in your life ahead. May we seed and grow forever. May we all forge connections that last life time.
I hope I'll be to keep helping this community by uploading some rare torrents and helping them out in any way I possibly can. It's my heart's desire to know you all really well and prove myself to be a reliable friend. Thank you all for taking the time to know me.
