In computing, multi-touch is technology that enables a surface (a trackpad or touchscreen) to recognize the presence of more than one[1][2] or more than two[3] points of contact with the surface. The term "Multi-Touch" was coined in 2007 by Apple Inc at the Macworld - iWorld iPhone stevenote. This plural-point awareness may be used to implement additional functionality, such as pinch to zoom or to activate certain subroutines attached to predefined gestures.
The two different uses of the term are the result of the quick developments in this field, which resulted in many companies using the term "multi-touch" for marketing purposes for older technology that is called gesture-enhanced single-touch or several other terms by other companies and researchers.[4][5] There are several other similar or related terms that attempt to differentiate between whether a device can exactly determine or only approximate the location of different points of contact and that attempt to further differentiate between the various technological capabilities,[5] but they are often used as synonyms in marketing.
History of multi-touch[edit]
The use of touchscreen technology to control electronic devices pre-dates multi-touch technology and the personal computer. Early synthesizer and electronic instrument builders like Hugh Le Caine and Robert Moog experimented with using touch-sensitive capacitance sensors to control the sounds made by their instruments.[6] IBM began building the first touch screens in the late 1960s, and, in 1972, Control Data released the PLATO IV computer, a terminal used for educational purposes that employed single-touch points in a 16x16 array as its user interface.
Prior to Multi-touch technology it was very difficult to manufacture a touch screen device without a pen interface. The idea of being able to use a keyboard interface built into the actual touch screen itself, which we see today, was impossible to attain because the screens were only able to utilize these single-touch points.[7]
One of the early implementations of mutual capacitance touchscreen technology was developed at CERN in 1977[9][10] based on their capacitance touch screens developed in 1972 by Danish electronics engineer Bent Stumpe. This technology was used to develop a new type of human machine interface (HMI) for the control room of the Super Proton Synchrotron particle accelerator.
In a handwritten note dated 11 March 1972, Stumpe presented his proposed solution – a capacitive touch screen with a fixed number of programmable buttons presented on a display. The screen was to consist of a set of capacitors etched into a film of copper on a sheet of glass, each capacitor being constructed so that a nearby flat conductor, such as the surface of a finger, would increase the capacitance by a significant amount. The capacitors were to consist of fine lines etched in copper on a sheet of glass – fine enough (80 μm) and sufficiently far apart (80 μm) to be invisible (CERN Courier April 1974 p117). In the final device, a simple lacquer coating prevented the fingers from actually touching the capacitors.
Multi-touch technology substantially began in 1982, when the University of Toronto's Input Research Group developed the first human-input multi-touch system,[11] although an earlier system switch-matrix touch screen from M.I.T. was also capable of multi-touch detection.[12] The system at the University of Toronto used a frosted-glass panel with a camera placed behind the glass. When a finger or several fingers pressed on the glass, the camera would detect the action as one or more black spots on an otherwise white background, allowing it to be registered as an input. Since the size of a dot was dependent on pressure (how hard the person was pressing on the glass), the system was somewhat pressure-sensitive as well.[6]
In 1983, Bell Labs at Murray Hill published a comprehensive discussion of touch-screen based interfaces.[13]
In 1983 the video-based Video Place/Video Desk system of Myron Krueger was influential in development of multi-touch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom.[14][15]
In 1984, Bell Labs engineered a touch screen that could change images with more than one hand. In 1985, the University of Toronto group including Bill Buxton developed a multi-touch tablet that used capacitance rather than bulky camera-based optical sensing systems.[6]
Sears et al. (1990)[16] gave a review of academic research on single and multi-touch touchscreen human–computer interaction of the time, describing single touch gestures such as rotating knobs, swiping the screen to activate a switch (or a U-shaped gesture for a toggle switch), and touchscreen keyboards (including a study that showed that users could type at 25 words per minute for a touchscreen keyboard compared with 58 words per minute for a standard keyboard, with multi-touch hypothesized to improve data entry rate); multi-touch gestures such as selecting a range of a line, connecting objects, and a "tap-click" gesture to select while maintaining location with another finger are also described.
An advance occurred in 1991, when Pierre Wellner published a paper on his multi-touch "Digital Desk", which supported multi-finger and pinching motions.[17][18]
Various companies expanded upon these inventions in the beginning of the twenty-first century. The company Fingerworks developed various multi-touch technologies between 1999 and 2005, including Touchstream keyboards and the iGesture Pad. Several studies of this technology were published in the early 2000s by Alan Hedge, professor of human factors and ergonomics at Cornell University.[19][20][21] Apple acquired Fingerworks and its multi-touch technology in 2005. Mainstream exposure to multi-touch technology occurred in 2007 when the iPhone gained popularity, with Apple stating they "invented multi touch" as part of the iPhone announcement,[22] however both the function and the term predate the announcement or patent requests, except for such area of application as capacitive mobile screens, which did not exist before Fingerworks/Apple's technology (Fingerworks filed patents in 2001–2005,[23] subsequent multi-touch refinements were patented by Apple[24]).
Microsoft's table-top touch platform, Microsoft PixelSense, which started development in 2001, interacts with both the user's touch and their electronic devices. Similarly, in 2001, Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL) began development of a multi-touch, multi-user system called DiamondTouch, also based on capacitance, but able to differentiate between multiple simultaneous users (or rather, the chairs in which each user is seated or the floorpad on which the user is standing); the Diamondtouch became a commercial product in 2008.
In May 2015, Apple was granted a patent for a "fusion keyboard", which turns individual physical keys into multi-touch buttons.[25]
Small-scale touch devices are rapidly becoming commonplace, with the number of touch screen telephones expected to increase from 200,000 shipped in 2006 to 21 million in 2012.[26]
Some of the first devices to support multi-touch were:
- Mitsubishi DiamondTouch (2001)
- Apple iPhone (announced January 9, 2007)
- Microsoft PixelSense (formerly Surface) (May 29, 2007)
- NORTD labs Open Source system CUBIT (multi-touch) (2007)
- ELAN eFinger
Brands and manufacturers[edit]
Apple has retailed and distributed numerous products using multi-touch technology, most prominently including its iPhone smartphone and iPad tablet. Additionally, Apple also holds several patents related to the implementation of multi-touch in user interfaces,[27] however the legitimacy of some patents has been disputed.[28] Apple additionally attempted to register "Multi-touch" as a trademark in the United States—however its request was denied by the United States Patent and Trademark Office because it considered the term generic.[29]
Multi-touch sensing and processing occurs via an ASIC sensor that is attached to the touch surface. Usually, separate companies make the ASIC and screen that combine into a touch screen; conversely, a trackpad's surface and ASIC are usually manufactured by the same company. There have been large companies in recent years that have expanded into the growing multi-touch industry, with systems designed for everything from the casual user to multinational organizations.
It is now common for laptop manufacturers to include multi-touch trackpads on their laptops, and tablet computers respond to touch input rather than traditional stylus input and it is supported by many recent operating systems.
A few companies are focusing on large-scale surface computing rather than personal electronics, either large multi-touch tables or wall surfaces. These systems are generally used by government organizations, museums, and companies as a means of information or exhibit display. Large scale multi-touch surfaces are manufactured by Finnish company MultiTaction on their 55" MT Cells (55" screens) who also have office locations in London, California and Singapore. MultiTaction also build unique collaboration software especially designed for multi-touch screens such as MT Canvus and MT Showcase.
Multi-touch has been implemented in several different ways, depending on the size and type of interface. The most popular form are mobile devices, tablets, touchtables and walls. Both touchtables and touch walls project an image through acrylic or glass, and then back-light the image with LEDs.
Touch surfaces can also be made pressure-sensitive by the addition of a pressure-sensitive coating that flexes differently depending on how firmly it is pressed, altering the reflection.[30]
Handheld technologies use a panel that carries an electrical charge. When a finger touches the screen, the touch disrupts the panel's electrical field. The disruption is registered as an computer event (gesture) and may be sent to the software, which may then initiates a response to the gesture event.[31]
In the past few years, several companies have released products that use multi-touch. In an attempt to make the expensive technology more accessible, hobbyists have also published methods of constructing DIY touchscreens.[32]
Capacitive technologies include:[33]
- Surface Capacitive Technology or Near Field Imaging (NFI)
- Projected Capacitive Touch (PCT)
- In-cell Capacitive
Resistive technologies include:[33]
- Analog Resistive
- Digital Resistive or In-Cell Resistive
Optical touch technology functions when a finger or an object touches the surface, causing the light to scatter, the reflection is caught with sensors or cameras that send the data to software which dictates response to the touch, depending on the type of reflection measured.
Optical technologies include:[33]
- Optical Imaging or Infrared technology
- Rear Diffused Illumination (DI)[34]
- Infrared Grid Technology (opto-matrix) or Digital Waveguide Touch (DWT) or Infrared Optical Waveguide
- Frustrated Total Internal Reflection (FTIR)
- Diffused Surface Illumination (DSI)
- Laser Light Plane (LLP)
- In-Cell Optical
Acoustic and radio-frequency wave-based technologies include:[33]
- Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW)
- Bending Wave Touch (BWT)
- Dispersive Signal Touch (DST)
- Acoustic Pulse Recognition (APR)
- Force-Sensing Touch Technology
Multi-touch gestures[edit]
Multi-touch touchscreen gestures enable predefined motions to interact with the device and software. An increasing number of devices like smartphones, tablets, laptops or desktop computers have functions that are triggered by multi-touch gestures.
Multi-touch software[edit]
Many vendors have developed multi-touch software products that allow people to drag, resize, and rotate photos, videos and electronic documents (e.g. unedged arena, nuiSense business, snowflake, omnitapps).
Multi-touch software often has common features that enable non-technical people to quickly configure multi-touch presentations. This software may be useful in museums, kiosks, education, storefront windows, fairs and showrooms. It can be also used for collaboration purposes.[citation needed]
Popular culture[edit]
Years before it was a viable consumer product, popular culture portrayed potential uses of multi-touch technology in the future, including in several installments of the Star Trek franchise.
The television series CSI: Miami introduced both surface and wall multi-touch displays in its sixth season. Another television series, NCIS: Los Angeles, makes use of multi-touch surfaces and wall panels as an initiative to go digital. Another form of a multi-touch computer was seen in the film The Island, where the professor, played by Sean Bean, has a multi-touch desktop to organize files, based on an early version of Microsoft Surface[3] (not be confused with the tablet computers which now bear that name). Multi-touch technology can also be seen in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace, where MI6 uses a touch interface to browse information about the criminal Dominic Greene.[35] In an episode of the television series The Simpsons, Lisa Simpson travels to the underwater headquarters of Mapple to visit Steve Mobbs, who is shown to be performing multiple multi-touch hand gestures on a large touch wall.
A device similar to the Microsoft Surface was seen in the 1982 Disney sci-fi film Tron. It took up an executive's entire desk and was used to communicate with the Master Control computer.
The interface used to control the alien ship in the 2009 film District 9 features such similar technology.[36]
Microsoft's Surface was also used in the 2008 film The Day the Earth Stood Still.[37]
In the 2002 film Minority Report, Tom Cruise uses a set of gloves that resemble a multi-touch interface to browse through information.[38]

University Hospice is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to meet the needs of terminally ill patients, their families and loved ones by providing comprehensive palliative (comfort) care focusing on physical, social, emotional and spiritual support.
University Hospice volunteers are essential members of the Hospice team. After completing the Volunteer training program, the Hospice Volunteer is prepared to fill a variety of roles either as a Patient Care Volunteer, providing direct care to Hospice patients, or an Administrative Volunteer helping with day to day activities in the Hospice offices.
Patient Care Volunteers visit patients in their homes, or in the nursing home or hospital setting. In addition to providing companionship and emotional support, the Volunteer may assist with activities that include direct patient care, child care, cooking, cleaning and running errands for the patient and family. The Volunteer's assistance with such activities of daily living relieves many worries and therefore enables the patient and family to have quality time together.
Administrative Volunteers provide a vital service assisting clinical and support staff with a wide variety of office activities. They frequently interact with Hospice patients and families by phone, providing support and encouragement.
The role of the Volunteer often extends beyond the death of the Hospice patient. Volunteers frequently become an important part of the bereavement process, helping families cope as they work through their grief.

Not what I expected
"I bought these sandals to have "dressy" sandals. When I opened the box I was so disappointed. The sandal did not look finish and what I mean is that there was some dry glue around the shoe. The stones around the shoe looked dull not shiny at all very dull. I was bummed as I was really looking forward to wearing them."

"I love this shoe, the sole is thick and supportive and it's beautiful. You have to wear the shoes a few times before the decorative straps to stop irrating the top of your foot. The only drawback to the slippers is that woven sole deteriates after sometime and the slippers looks cheap when you take off the shoe you see beneath the woven sole. Overall, I love it and is purchasing it in Bronze."

pony express
pony express, in U.S. history, relay mail service. At its inception in Apr., 1860, the pony express operated between St. Joseph, Mo., the western end of a telegraph line, and Sacramento, Calif. Riders carried the mail a distance of nearly 2,000 mi (3,200 km) in about eight days, often traveling through hostile Native American territory. Stations where the riders changed horses were roughly 10 to 15 mi (16–24.1 km) apart. After a rider had covered a certain distance, the mail was turned over to another rider; this continued until the destination was reached.
The pony express was operated by the freighting firm of Russell, Majors, and Waddell. As a business venture, it was unsuccessful. Before the pony express, letters to and from California had been carried by ships, wagon trains, and stagecoaches and had required much more time for the journey. The first telegram to San Francisco was transmitted Oct. 24, 1861, and the pony express was then gradually discontinued. Its existence was brief but picturesque, and the pony express lives in legend as well as in history. In 1992 the Pony Express National Historic Trail, which covers the entire route followed by pony express riders, was designated part of the National Trails System (see National Parks and Monuments (table)).

When the Republican Party is trounced in November 2012 all Americans should send thank you notes to the Vatican. The American bishops are lending their tattered "moral authority" to the Republican Party. With friends like these the Republicans need no enemies.
According to the New York Times:
Pope Benedict XVI waded into the American culture wars on Friday, urging visiting American bishops to beef up their teaching about the evils of premarital sex and cohabitation, and denouncing what he called the "powerful" gay marriage lobby in America. Benedict said there was an urgent need for American Catholics to discover the value of chastity, an essential element of Christian teaching that he said had been subject to unjust "ridicule." The pope also told the bishops not to back down in the face of "powerful political and cultural currents seeking to alter the legal definition of marriage."
With the "stand" that the Pope and the American bishops are taking in their thinly veiled anti-President Obama, pro-Republican Party campaign in full swing -- and being parroted by Santorum and Gingrich -- the Republicans are lurching even farther rightward.
And now a far right "religious liberty" group the Becket Fund led by a conservative William P. Mumma, a Wall Street banker who runs the New York trading desk for Mitsubishi UFJ Securities USA, is working closely with the Roman Catholic bishops to suethe government in order to force women to forgo contraception if they happen to work for Catholic run corporations.
Bluntly put, between this Becket Fund suit, the Pope weighing in and the American bishops anti-Obama activity ramping up to try and defeat him in 2012 the Roman Catholic hierarchic leaders seem anxious to declare holy war on the Democratic Party.
This will backfire, not least because the pope and bishops and a far right Wall Street champion of the 1% activist like Mumma (who hates the President because he wants to regulate Wall Street) don't even speak for most Roman Catholics let alone most Americans. So the Koch brothers can spend 100 million or a 100 billion for that matter to buy the election for big oil and Wall Street, but they might as well burn their Supreme Court-lubricated Super Pac cash.
Back in the 1970s and 80s when I was a Republican/Religious Right/"Pro-Life" activist working with people like Jack Kemp and the Bush family to make the Republican Party adopt our Protestant/evangelical/anti-abortion agenda the people I worked with - from Roman Catholics like Archbishop Fulton Sheen to Evangelical Protestants like Jerry Falwell - agreed that whatever else we did we had to keep the issue of abortion and contraception separate. Otherwise we feared the issue of abortion would be dismissed as merely a "Catholic issue."
In fact when I met with Fulton Sheen in his NYC apartment to talk strategy in the late 70s he even said that he was pleased that with "you evangelicals" in the fight and because we supported the use of contraception he felt that it would strengthen the case we were making against abortion.
We knew then what the Republican Party and the bishops seem to have forgotten today-- that while many American women and men shared our ambivalence about legal abortion they were near unanimous in their rejection of Roman Catholic teaching banning contraception. JFK wisely understood this long before abortion was an issue and had been emphasizing his rock solid American commitment to the separation of church and state.
For instance how many Americans voting for JFK would have agreed with this Roman Catholic leading "thinker's" statement about the "wickedness" of contraception if it had been published during JFK's presidency?
"If you are defending contraception, you will have rejected Christian tradition. It's this that makes the division between straightforward fornication or adultery and the wickedness of the sins against nature and of contraceptive intercourse. Hence contraceptive intercourse within marriage is a graver offence against chastity than is straightforward fornication or adultery." (G. E. M. Anscombe, "Contraception and Chastity," London: Catholic Truth Society, 1975).
Most Roman Catholics would not sign on to such weird extremism even in JFK's day let alone today. But "most Roman Catholics" are not in charge of their church today.
A number of far right bishops are in charge in America and they in turn are being manipulated by several slick insider far right Republican operatives. What motivates these insiders is hatred for President Obama of the kind that drives activists like William P. Mumma. They write for journals like ultra right cranky "First Things" and today's diminished "National Review."
One of the key far right Catholic intellectuals - Robert George of Princeton -- who was one of John McCain's advisers in 2008 never forgave President Obama for winning. George is also one of the key figures associated with the Becket Fund group suing the government for the Catholics. He was awarded this group's highest honer in 2010 The Canterbury Medal other recipients included far right anti-gay agitator Charles Colson and in 2008 Governor & Mrs. Mitt Romney as well as Carl A. Anderson, of the Knights of Columbus.
George was Glenn Beck's mentor and is a close confidant and ideological confidant of Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia's. And Scalia will be point man for the Roman Catholic suit if it gets to the Supreme Court. George liked the anti-contraception statement quoted here so much that he wrote a glowing endorsement of it in the obituary he wrote to mark the passing of its author (Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe who died in 2001).
Here is how Robert George lauded her "argument" in his gushing Anscombe obituary:
"In 1968, when much of the rest of the Catholic intellectual world reacted with shock and anger to Pope Paul VI's reaffirmation of Catholic teaching regarding the immorality of contraception, the Anscombe family toasted the announcement with champagne. [Elizabeth Anscombe's] defense of the teaching in the essay 'Contraception and Chastity' is an all-too-rare example of rigorous philosophical argumentation on matters of sexual ethics. Catholics who demand the liberalization of their Church's teachings have yet to come to terms with Anscombe's arguments." (Robert George, "Elizabeth Anscombe, R.I.P.: One of the 20th Century's Most Remarkable Women," National Review, February 3-4, 2001.)
In case you've never heard of George, he's been a one-man "brain trust" for the Religious Right and the Far Right of the Republican Party as well as for the ultraconservative wing of the Roman Catholic Church. Here's how the New York Times introduced him to its readers:
"Robert George] has parlayed a 13th-century Catholic philosophy [the natural law theory] into real political influence. Glenn Beck, the Fox News talker and a big George fan, likes to introduce him as "one of the biggest brains in America," or, on one broadcast, "Superman of the Earth." Karl Rove told me he considers George a rising star on the right and a leading voice in persuading President George W. Bush to restrict embryonic stem-cell research.
Newt Gingrich called him "an important and growing influence" on the conservative movement, especially on matters like abortion and marriage. "If there really is a vast right-wing conspiracy," the conservative Catholic journal Crisis concluded a few years ago, "its leaders probably meet in George's kitchen."
George's splenetic agenda is not just bent on stopping abortion but focused on defending the unfiltered Vatican "position" on the wickedness of family planning and insinuating it into American politics. George and his friends would like to also do whatever it takes to end the presidency of America's first black president.
George hates Obama to the extent that (like Gingrich) he has accused him of supporting infanticide. And George is one of William P. Mumma's "intellectual" resource people for the Catholic suit against our government and against women.
Before the election in 2008 George wrote: "Senator Obama [is] supporting what amounts to legalized infanticide... In light of the documentary evidence that is now before the public, it is clear that th[is] accusation against Senator Obama, however shocking, has the very considerable merit of being true." (Obama and Infanticide by Robert P. George and Yuval Levin October 16, 2008)
The bishops working with George have succeeded in linking outrage and outright lies about abortion politics to their longstanding fight against all contraception. God has blessed them in this fight beyond their wildest hopes with the candidacy of the not one but two Robert George clones: Santorum and Gingrich. In fact both men parrot his most extreme statements almost verbatim on the campaign trail.
And how could the bishops know that in Mitt Romney they would have a Mormon so pliable and afraid of alienating the bishops and their evangelical collaborators that Romney would not even dare to stand up to Rush Limbaugh when Limbaugh articulated the Vatican position (in slightly cruder language than most popes use in public) on women who use contraception?
Limbaugh expressed the essence of the Vatican view of contraception: Women who use contraception are sluts and whores according to Vatican favorite Anscombe who called women using birth control people indulging in "fornication or adultery and the wickedness of the sins against nature."

The Massachusetts Senate is expected to debate a controversial amendment to the state budget that would require the Registry of Motor Vehicles to check for proof of lawful immigration status before issuing drivers licenses.
The amendment is sponsored by Senate Republican Leader Bruce Tarr. He says its a response to the case of President Barack Obama's uncle, Onyango Obama, who was arrested in Framingham last year on a drunk driving charge. Obama was able to get his license back after a periodof probation – even though he's been in the United States illegally since the 1990s. His illegal-immigrant status came to light after his arrest. Federal officials then launched new efforts to deport the president's uncle, who plans to fight the deportation.The Registry is not required under state law to check immigration status and officials have said that the president's uncle presented the necessary documentation to obtain a license.
Immigration advocate Eva Milona of The Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition, opposes the measure, saying the RMV doesn't have the resources or expertise to enforce federal immigration law.
"This amendment in our view, it's not an improvement on current policy, but would instead create more confusion and creates wrongful denials of licenses to documented applicants. Our concern is that it might refuse a drivers license or learner's permit to anyone that it would have reasonable cause to suspect has presented invalid proof of immigration status."
Milona also blasted Republicans for loading up the state budget with what she called anti-immigrant amendments.

Texas Tech's Tommy Tuberville on swatting headset, hat off grad assistant: 'It wasn't anything to it'
TV cameras caught Texas Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville in a heated exchange with a graduate assistant early in the third quarter of the Red Raiders' game with Kansas on Saturday.
With Texas Tech up 21-17 but risking the lead by punting back to Kansas with about nine and a half minutes to go in the third quarter, the Red Raiders were called for an illegal formation while trying to punt the ball away.
Tuberville was unhappy and went up to graduate assistant Kevin Oliver, who helps coordinate special teams. In a swift hand motion by Tuberville, Oliver's radio headset and hat were removed from his head to the ground.
From the replays, it is obvious Tuberville was upset. However, Tuberville said he meant to grab Oliver's shoulder and accidentally connected with the headset.
"I reached and grabbed him," Tuberville said. "He was on the field and I reached to grab him and pull him off. When I pulled back, I missed his shirt and grabbed his face mask and his microphone ripped off his head. I was trying to get him off the field."
Tuberville denied he was specifically mad at Oliver.
"He was trying to help me get (players) off the field," Tuberville said. "But he's standing out on the field and we're trying to get him off, and the referee is standing right there. I just pulled him off and missed his shoulder and grabbed his — I mean, it wasn't anything to it. It was just one of those deals where I missed his shoulder and ended up grabbing the microphone on his head set and pulled it off."
Regardless of whether there was motive or if it was just a mistake, the incident will remain in infamy. It went viral on places like YouTube within 10 minutes.

This has been around awhile but still very cool. I actually tried to get a good quality copy of the track from the kid a long time ago but he wasn't interested in sharing anything other than a mp3 in 128.
He's pretty creative. He did this one too.

I watched Alice in Wonderland on mushrooms once and it was amazing.
We used to watch Fantasia.
That's why Fantasia was so great. You could wander away, come back later, and be part of a whole new world.
Nancy, not quite. I did however have a brief Alice In Wonderland experience at Coachella last year when I took shrooms. I was sitting way far behind the Sahara because they hit hard and the blades of grass began marching around and reminded me of these guys:
I remember once a bunch of us took some really good shrooms in Japan (they use to sell some strong shit legally when I lived there) and we put on Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Almost all of us got on a BAD trip until my friend put on Shrek. MUCH BETTER then we went ouside and played in the snow. Fun Times!!!
Fear and Loathing is a terrible idea for hallucinogens.
I used to watch movies all the time. Being John Malkovich was always a favorite as was The Nightmare Before Christmas. One thing I would never recommend is trying to watch The Blair Witch Project hallucinating. It was not pleasant at all.
Hey, maybe I'll try the shrooms when this comes out - hopefully in IMAX
This is one of my all time favorite Disney/animated movies.
Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure.
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
Speak of the devil, what the fuck....Tim Burton is directing a remake set for theatres for 2010??? He'll fucking ruin it I'm sure....Tim should stay away from remakes. What shitty news.
The Alice in Wonderland remake, Erik?
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
Pee Wee's Play House, on TV, freaked me out on shrooms, I was tripping, "the Chair is talking WTF"...

Cry Wolf (Doucet #3)
- Brief Synopsis:
- The scream heard by no one is the deadliest. In the rural parishes of Louisiana's French Triangle, young women are disappearing one by one, only to turn up on the banks of the bayou, strangled and cast aside where they are sure to be found. But there is one trophy the killer prizes above all others, one woman who must be silenced forever. . . . Attorney Laurel Chandler did not come back to Bayou Breaux to seek justice. That once-burning obsession had destroyed her credibility, her career, her marri...

Comments: at first i really liked the ac4's, didn't have to break them in, they were comfortable, the wheels had nice grip to them. but now, after i had these skates for a year the foam on the inside of one of the skates is gone and it hurts my ankle so bad that i cant play. these skates didn't last as long as i thought they would. if you have the money you should probably buy one of the top of the line models but if your looking for a skate that is cheaper and still has great performance you should buy the ac4's, the only problem is that they wont last a very long time.
From: Yuval, Israel
Comments: I got these to replace my Mission Axiom T6's. I had those for about 2 years and I play minor in PIHA. Just got these and used them during an intense pickup. DIdn't have to adjust anything, didn't have to break anything in. They felt great once I laced em up. Quickened my step a bit as well. Will continue to stick to the mission line as they continue to make great skates!
From: Michael, NM
Comments: I've worn many generations of Mission skates and this line has been VERY good to me. Very supportive around the foot and I love the look of the skate. Primarily the white and black contrast on the eyelets give it a very unique look. Have always been D width however found the EE and a half size smaller is one of the best fits I've ever had.
From: Erica - Team IW
Comments: I've played roller hockey for 10 years and these are the best skates i've ever owned. I highly recommend these skates to anyone who plays competitive roller hockey.
From: Rocco, IN
Comments: are very faster, softly,nice,
From: Nicolas, Colombia
Comments: Excellent Skates, got 9.5EE, air flow is awesome! Skated twice on them and already feels like I have been on them for 6 months. Would recommend to anyone looking for wide skates in the mid-price range
From: Tom, FL
Comments: Awesome skates you can feel the air coming through,it only took a few days to break in
From: Cam, Missouri
Comments: Nice skates. Really wanted these. However the supposedly extra-wide EE are not really wide at all. I wear EE Bauer ice skates and these are way too narrow in comparison. IW was gracious enough to send a size larger to try but they did not fit either. :( I did not get to try them skating so I can't comment on that. But they sure looked awesome and well constructed. If you dont have really wide feet then you'll love them.

Great ResultsI tried this product after trying an aerosal -- which lasted for only two applications. So far I really like the product -- it absorbs grease and gives my hair a little bit of grip, so it is perfect for updos or styles with more volume in the crown. I have medium-dark brown hair and there was no problem with the white powder.Sep 7, 2012AmyHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair

Not All ThatI really dont like this. I appreciate that it is nn aerosol, however, it is hard to get out f the package. It kind of goes all over and doesn't always come out. IT does not do anything for my hair, it actually make it kind of yucky. Would not repurchase, will stick with Batiste.Sep 7, 2012Pamela P. / AustinHAIR TYPEBlonde / Oily Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Lasts Longer Than The AerosolLove this product. I started first with the aerosol can, but I found that this one lasts twice as long for me -- well worth the price difference. I am growing my hair and only wash my hair once or twice a week and Klorane is so good I forget when I last washed it.

If Pocahontas and Clint Eastwood had a love child it would be in the form of American model Jacquelyn Jablonski. In this "Beauty Saloon" spread, shot by photographer Jason Kibbler for the March 2011 issue of Vogue Russia, stylist Olga Dunina mixed pieces from Ralph Lauren, Roberto Cavalli, Elie Tahari and Diesel Black Gold to create this bohemian/western inspired ensemble. We personally love the fusion of denim and fringe together, and how the soft colored chambray shirt paired with an embellished cow skull necklace screams, "I'm more than what you bargained for." Acid washed denim, knee-length braids, Navajo inspired earrings, and A cowboy hat, offset a thrilling spring trend that is sure to wrangle up a few (no rope and horse required).

A few weeks ago, I found myself sitting in a classroom at MIT surrounded by about thirty Indonesians. My mind was wandering since everyone was speaking in rapid Bahasa Indonesia and, sadly, my Indonesian language skills are limited to "hello" and "thank you." On the upside, I noticed the half-erased math equations on the chalkboard—something about "r" and squares and Greek letters—realizing that Bahasa might not be the most confusing language in the room.
I was at a gathering of Indonesian students and scholars who had all come out on this Monday night to hear from their Vice Minister of Education, Dr. Musliar Kasim, who was visiting Boston and DC to learn about the various types of colleges and universities that make up the complex and unique U.S. higher education system. On behalf of IIE, I had the mission of guiding the Vice Minister and several other delegates to a variety of schools: from Northeastern University to Bunker Hill Community College; from Harvard to UMass Boston. The participants in this particular meeting ranged from young to old, hailed from a number of regions in Indonesia, and were studying or teaching at all of the finest schools in the Boston area. In fact, one of the only bits of conversation I caught was when the single audience member from Harvard mentioned something about "MIT" to many groans and boos from the rest of the group. Some things are just universal.
The Vice Minister's "town hall" type gathering at MIT was just one part of the Ministry's fact-finding mission in the U.S., but was indicative of his serious desire to know as much as possible about the Indonesian student experience in the U.S.—whether at an Ivy League school or a community college—and what feedback about the U.S. higher education system he might be able to take back with him. The Indonesian higher education system is currently undergoing significant changes, and the government of Indonesia is taking great measures to both increase external relations and address domestic challenges.
Take for example their Community College initiative, which anticipates the development of at least twenty community colleges over the next five years, and eventually all over the country! With the ground already broken on the first community college in Pacitan (the hometown of President Yudhoyono), the Vice Minister and other officials examined the community colleges we visited from head to toe. What is the mean and median age of students? How does one best engage with the local community? How does one support students who want to continue at a four-year institution? Bunker Hill and Northern Virginia, two of the community colleges we visited, were more than happy to discuss their models in detail. Indeed, the community college is one of the proudest achievements the U.S. higher education system has to offer the world, and these are two of the most comprehensive and well-established community colleges in the country. With this initiative, the Indonesian government hopes to prepare a growing population of high school graduates ready to gain employable skills, and serve local communities in need of industry-ready individuals.
While introducing community colleges is a relatively new government initiative—and one that will mostly serve Indonesia's domestic needs - the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Higher Education (DIKTI) have been striving to increase their international exchange activities as well. Since Presidents Obama and Yudhoyono named education as one of the pillars of the comprehensive bilateral partnership between the U.S. and Indonesia in 2010, both countries have been working to increase the number of students sent and received by the other. Everyone is doing their part: 2012 is the "Year of Fulbright" in Indonesia and the U.S. Department of State's contribution to the program in Indonesia has expanded, making it one of the largest programs in the world; the U.S. government has committed more than $165 million over the next five years to support the higher education partnership. The Indonesian government has also invested, supporting the joint Fulbright-DIKTI program to fund advanced study and research in the U.S. for Indonesian university faculty. USAID has funded a similar program, PRESTASI, for Indonesian lecturers to receive Master's Degrees in the U.S., and supported a number of innovative linkages under their University Partnerships Initiative.
One lesser-known Indonesian government-funded scholarship is the DIKTI scholarship for Indonesian lecturers, which, similar to the Fulbright-DIKTI scholarship, supports current lecturers to pursue a Master's or Ph.D. degree overseas (two and three years of funding, respectively). For a variety of reasons, the vast majority of scholarship recipients choose to go to universities in Australia or Europe, and the U.S. continues to lose out on receiving these excellent scholars. During the delegation, the Vice Minister made a point of spreading the word about this scholarship, asking for support in several ways: (1) providing a Letter of Acceptance (LoA) to potential DIKTI scholars, if accepted; (2) ensuring that the Letter of Acceptance is "unconditional" in nature (i.e. no conditional acceptance pending English language training; and (3) to consider pitching in for the final one or two years of funding for Ph.D. candidates, since the scholarship only supports the first three years. On the surface, this seems fairly straightforward, but the need for extra English language training and the perceived difficulty of applying to U.S. schools, have caused this scholarship to go wholly under-utilized at U.S. universities. A number of organizations, including IIE and the U.S.-Indonesia Joint Council, are working hard to ensure that more DIKTI scholars come to the U.S. for their degrees.
Finally, one way that U.S. institutions can work to increase the movement of students and scholars between our two countries is to promote U.S. study abroad to Indonesia. The world's largest Muslim-majority democracy and a land of over 17,000 islands, Indonesia is a gold mine for learning first-hand about anything from religious pluralism to primatology. The past decade has seen pitiful numbers of U.S. students studying abroad in Indonesia: the Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange cites a low of 24 students in the 2003/04 academic year and a decade high of only 221 students in AY 2009/10. To address this, IIE just published a new white paper intended to inform the U.S. higher education community about how best to initiate a study abroad program to Indonesia, titled "Models for U.S. Study Abroad to Indonesia". This white paper is the second in a series of publications based on outcomes from the U.S.–Indonesia Partnership Program for Study Abroad Capacity, a two-year initiative funded by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and administered by IIE's Center for International Partnerships.
There are inexhaustible opportunities for U.S.–Indonesia academic collaboration, the majority of which remain untapped by U.S. and Indonesian educators. Through continued efforts from both countries to increase awareness, we will surely see a day when there is a strong and steady flow of Americans and Indonesians traveling to each other's country for educational opportunities.

: After a lot of thought, I've decided to abandon the convection hot water return approach in my new house, and opt for a pump which I can put on a timer, and kick off for 15 minutes in the morning, and for maybe an hour or so at night. (Will be insulating pipes as well, but the runs are long.)
: Which companies make pumps for this purpose (low flow, low power?) Do any of them have built in solenoid valves, so when the thing is off, it won't allow a convection loop to occur?

Semi-Truck Crashes on I-84 Near Rufus, Oregon
From the Oregon State Police-
A commercial truck driver was injured Friday afternoon when he lost control along Interstate 84 near Rufus, crossed through the center median and crashed on the opposite of the freeway. The crash scene partially blocked the eastbound lanes for about 3 hours until the overturned truck and trailer could be removed.
According to Oregon State Police (OSP) Trooper Mark Jubitz, on November 2, 2012 at approximately 1:51 p.m., a 2005 Kenworth truck pulling a 53-foot semi-trailer driven by WILLIAM STEWART, age 29, from Caldwell, Idaho, was westbound on Interstate 84 near milepost 110. STEWART was momentarily distracted and lost control as the truck and trailer crossed both westbound lanes, continued through the center median and across the eastbound lanes where they rolled onto their side.
STEWART was transported by ambulance to Mid-Columbia Medical Center in The Dalles with non-life threatening injuries. OSP cited STEWART for Failure to Maintain a Single Lane of Travel.
The semi-trailer contained approximately 15,000 lbs of hamburger.
OSP was assisted on scene by Sherman County Sheriff's Office, ODOT, and Sherman County Fire and EMS.
