Hot on the heels of Kim Kardashian filing for divorce after a mere 72 days of marriage, the Kardashian family is desperately trying to save face after fans and media outlets expressed outrage following Kim's multi-million dollar televised wedding and quickie marriage to Kris Humphries! Good thing nobody changed their name!
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star made her first public appearance since the divorce filing (above) with sister Khloe Kardashian promoting their new handbag collection in Sydney, Australia today. Below, more photos of Kim and her well perfected, definitely not practiced at all, sad pouty face!
Meanwhile, she posted a special and heartfelt (ha!) "A Message To My Fans" all three of you: Kourtney, Khloe, and Kris J on her personal webpage describing why she chose to file for divorce without ever even residing in the same home as her husband. Apparently Kim, 31, got caught up in the excitement of a wedding and the idea of love without, you know, caring about who she married or the actual marriage.
"I want a family and babies and a real life so badly that maybe I rushed in to something too soon," she confesses. "I believed in love and the dream of what I wanted so badly. I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn't get off when now I know I probably should have." When diamonds, custom made designer dresses and dollar signs are dangled in front of you, perhaps it is hard to take a step back and re-evaluate.
"I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn't know how to and didn't want to disappoint a lot of people," Kim admits. "I never had the intention of hurting anybody and I accept full responsibility for my actions and decisions, and for taking everyone on this journey with me. It just didn't turn out to be the fairy tale I had so badly hoped for." I would kinda feel bad for her, except I don't!
Kim is also furious that people would accuse her of marrying for all the wrong reasons! "First and foremost, I married for love," she insists. "I can't believe I even have to defend this. I would not have spent so much time on something just for a TV show!" Right…
"I share so much of my life on a reality show, that contemplating whether to even film my wedding was a tough decision to make, and maybe it turned out to not be the smartest decision. But it's who I am!"
"We filmed Kourtney giving birth, Khloe getting married, break ups, make ups, our best moments and our worst moments. These were all real moments. That's what makes us who we are. We share, we give, we love and we are open!" Kim declares, claiming that part of being a Kardashian is famewhoring having a camera on you 24/7!
As for those pesky rumors that she banked upwards of $17M from the nuptials, Kim is adamantly disputing those claims! "These reports are simply not true and it makes me so sad to have to even clarify this," Kim states.
Since she can't keep the gifts when the marriage didn't even last six months, Kim is now claiming that she will be donating all "the money for all the gifts" to the Dream Foundation, a charity that helps dreams come true for those living with life threatening illness. A report by TMZ states she is planning to donate $200,000 (the estimated sum of all the gifts she received) to the charity.
Pimpmomma Kris Jenner is also speaking out defending Kim's actions and insisting nary a cent was earned on the made for TV wedding. Appearing on the radio show Johnjay and Rich, Kris claims Kimmie Kakes had to make the "very difficult decision" to end her marriage "on her own." Clearly, since Kris H found out through the tabloids!
"[Kim's] not the first person in the world to get a divorce or have something like this happen to, and she won't be the last," Kris argued. "She just happens to be a very public person with a couple of television shows on the air so it makes it bigger than life."
"She didn't make a dime off of this wedding," Kris claimed. "She actually spent millions of dollars on this wedding, so it's not something that she thought would ever not be happily ever after." Funny… I don't believe either of you!
"People just have to stop judging," Kris admonished. "Take a step back. Let Kim do what she needs to do and just be supportive. It's not easy." I think the best way to avoid judgment is to get out of the public eye!
While Kris is home trying to pick up the pieces of his broken life — Kim jetted off to Australia, following a massage, to do more promotion for whatever krap she is hawking now. More photos below of Kim, sister Khloe and her brother-in-law Lamar Odom!
According to a poll by TMZ, over 95% of the public do NOT believe Kris' claims that Kim did not make a dime off her wedding. And can you blame them? After all they got paid for the following according to a report by the NY POST –
- $15 million plus profit for four-hour, two-part wedding special on E!
- $2.5 million for exclusive photos with People magazine
- $300,000 for exclusive engagement announcement with People
- $100,000 for exclusive rights to bridal shower with Britain's OK! mag
- $50,000 to have Bachelorette party at Tao in Las Vegas
Kris went on The Today Show this morning and further expanded on the claims that Kim did not make a dime off the wedding. According to Kris, while Kimmie received over a million from the sale of the wedding pics and from E!, all the money went into her wedding and she apparently had to use some of her own money to finish paying for the lavish wedding. Not.Buying.It.
Another fun tidbit, Kathie Lee Gifford, who has been a close family friend of the Kardashians for decades, revealed on The Today Show yesterday that she suspected something was off with the couple as they barely interacted during their August wedding rehearsal dinner. "I never saw them together the entire night," said Kathie.
Even more interesting? At the wedding reception Khloe whispered to Kathie Lee: "I give it six f ***ing months."

Historical:How to install plug-ins in Photoshop
Simply navigate to the PhotoShop directory. For a Windows install, it's typically located at:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Plug-Ins
If you installed PhotoShop elsewhere, or can't find it, do a search for "plug-ins" or "photoshop" - note that I am using Photoshop 7 in this example. Your's may be different.
Most plug-ins can simply be dragged or copied into the plugins directory. If you have several from a single source, you can create a subdirectory (folder) within the plug-ins directory and put them there. The next time you start PhotoShop, the plugins will be available, typically under the Filters option.
Some plugins have an installer, so you can skip the stuff above. However most don't!

Critical Literacy in Action: Multimodal Texts on Global Warming
|6 – 8
|Lesson Plan Type
|Standard Lesson
|Estimated Time
|Four 45- to 60-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Athens, Georgia
This lesson provides a way to combine scientific topics into an English lesson. Students apply specific comprehension strategies to multimodal texts as they investigate and interrogate the effects and possible causes of global warming. Students explore global warming through a variety of photographs, diagrams, and websites. As they look at each type of media, students catalog the strengths and weaknesses of these representations before identifying comprehension strategies that can be applied across various media.
Wilson, A.A. (2008). Moving beyond the page in content area literacy: Comprehension instruction for multimodal texts in science. The Reading Teacher, 62(2), pp. 153156.
- Reading and designing multiple representations are at the heart of learning science.
- Students can adapt and apply familiar comprehension strategies to multimodal texts in science, including experiments, photographs, diagrams, videos, and websites.
- Students should become aware of the strengths and weaknesses of multiple forms of representation in conveying scientific content.

Mercurius Medicus was one of many short tracts published during the English Civil Wars. It came out in two editions in October 1647, today I want to concentrate on the first edition, dated by Geogre Thomason the London bookseller October 11th 1647. Mercurius Medicus was, so the catalogues inform us, authored by Henry Walker: the pamphlets or newspapers themselves actualy don't tell us who wrote them butmerely that they were printed for William Ley. Walker or whoever else wrote Mercurius Medicus was obviously a Parliamentarian and a supporter of the New Model Army- the first pamphlet is directed at the citizens of London and imagines itself as answering a citizen's questions about the New Model and the purpose of keeping it in existance after the war had ended. (The first English Civil War finished in 1646 and the New Model had stayed in existance until the autumn of 1647 despite Parliamentary orders to disband and unrest in London because of high taxes to pay it to stay in the field.) Mercurius Medicus was therefore a topical document: it was addressed to an audience who were vitally interested in what it was saying.
The pamphlet begins with wit, pointing out that the royalist 'firebrands' are 'quenched'- that the newspapers Melancholicus, Pragmaticus, Diabolicus and Clericus, the 'ink squitterers' are vanished. The titles mentioned are parodies in part- Mercurius Clericus and Diabolicus parody the royalist affection for the priest and the devil (this is a broad attack!) but the point is serious. For what he moves onto was a real question in the autumn of 1647- who was to blame for the English civil war. The author adopts a providential line of argument reminding his audience that ''Tis his [God's] chief glory to bring good out of evill, as it is the Devills greatest ambition to bring evill out of good, who can tread his inscrutable pathes'. (2) To assume that human beings have caused the sufferings of the civil war is 'great madnesse' 'to lay upon our own shoulders more then we are able to bear and great wickenesse to debar our Maker of that honour which he so greatly delighteth in, to wit, to use us at his pleasure' (3). This Jobian sentiment is interesting because one of the common places of independent thought was that history reflected God's providence and was discernable to mankind: this pamphlet advances a sceptical case about our abilities to read God's intentions out of the book of history.
The second interesting idea that we can pick out of Mercurius Medicus is another cynical one. The pamphlet is subtitled 'a soveraigne salve for these sick times' and that word 'soveraigne' is important. The English Civil War produced many important texts on the idea of sovereignty. In the early 1640s, Henry Parker argued that the King was not sovereign if he did not maintain the public interest. In the early 1650s, Thomas Hobbes and other thinkers like Francis Rous and Anthony Ascham maintained in the engagement controversy that a reasonable person should support their government in lieu of protection even if they believed that government to be, as many Royalists considered the Rump, illegitimate. We can see the begginings of a formation of such an idea in Mercurius Medicus: he writes in defence of the New Model
therefore my good Citizen, forbeare not to commerce for fear of shadowes, doth it greive you to pay your owne, now they guard you from a forraigne as well as when they opposed your domestic enemie; now you may easily imagine what will happen, at most but to part with money to maintaine them till things are setled; But were they disbanded, you nor the wisest living, could promise any man his life or livelihood;The passage is important: the author argues here that the citizen supports the soldiers because they guarentee his life and liberty, were they disbanded the guard from foreign (Irish?) enemies would be abandoned too. Furthermore his point is that they have saved the citizen from worse tyranny, from that of Bishops and that of Kings.
The last point about the pamphlet I want to draw out is a point about its author. A better piece of work on Walker in the blogosphere can be found here, but whoever wrote this pamphlet was well informed. From the autumn of 1647 onwards you are beggining to get rumblings in the New Model Army about the status of the King. John Morrill convincingly argued in the Ford Lectures he delivered a couple of years ago that this argument about the King was a forgotten aspect of the Putney debates. Mercurius Medicus implies that such rumours were traversing his circles and distubring some, 'the Army ground their proceedings on this axiome, that the greater the persone is that offends, the more occasion is given to impeach him.' This principle is stated in the most general way in order to draw away its conclusion- that the King could potentially be put on trial. However his following sentence conditions it: 'the Souldierie in generall, I beleeve they will not be hastie to undertake that which is above their might to mannage, nor I beleeve have they the least thought to wrest the sword out of the hand of justice'. Whatever perspective or circle this pamphlet comes out of, it reflects the fact that by the end of 1647 there was a debate going on in some circles about judicially trying the King.
Mercuruis Medicus is a short but interesting document for the three reasons I have given above- but also because it gives testament to the lack of a peace dividend at the end of the English Civil War. It has to disappoint the citizen who expected the army and its commander Sir Thomas Fairfax to bring the King back to Whitehall, 'Sir Thomas when he made that promise expected not those obstructions which have since happened, and were it a wise course, thinkest thou, for his Majesty to come to his Pallace rather to heare controversies then to end differences.'. (5) Likewise it closes by councilling its audience 'since things are as they are, let us strive to make the best of them and according to the proverb, Since we cannot doe as wee would,d oe as we may' (6). In this sense, I think the pamphlet is useful, too often we pay attention to those exhilerated by revolution: Mercurius Medicus's author was when he wrote it addressing those who were not exhilerated and neither does he reccomend over optimism.
Instead this pamphlet is uncertain, wry and sceptical: it recommends caution about overestimating providence, support for the New Model because they keep things from getting worse, defends the possibility of trial and says that a settlement is still far off: it reminds us of how uncertain and dangerous the end of the first Civil War was and how much of a backlash there was against the side that won the civil war, not to mention the difficulties of creating out of a wartorn country a new state. Mercurius Medicus holds itself out as curing the newspapers of the time: actually its salve is more to do with the sovereign issue, what to do in the aftermath of victory?

Royston May Fayre called off for 'health and safety reasons'
PUBLISHED: 16:05 03 May 2012
HEALTH and safety concerns have led to the cancellation of Royston's May Fayre, a flagship event for the town's year of celebration.
The news was revealed today (Thursday) by Royston Town Council which made the decision to call off Monday's event after discussions with North Herts District Council.
Susan Thornton-Bjork, Royston town clerk, said: "After discussions with North Herts District Council the May Fayre Committee agreed to re-organisation of some of the events, after further consideration by the May Fayre Committee to day it is was decided to cancel the event for Health and Safety reasons."
The torch relay which was meant to officially open the event will still take place from the heath at 9.45am and the beacon will be lit in the Priory Memorial Gardens at 11.50am.
The car show in the Town Hall carpark will still go ahead.
NHDC confirmed the town council had discussed the fayre with the town council.
Liz Green, head of policy and community services for the council, said: "North Herts District Council met with some members of Royston Town Council yesterday (May 2) to discuss concerns about the damage that could be caused by heavy vehicles entering into Priory Memorial Gardens due to the recent spell of bad weather.
"It was agreed that by changing the layout of the event and placing the fun fair in an alternative location we could protect the gardens from any harm. NHDC are keen to enable events to continue for the enjoyment of the public despite the continued wet weather."

For those of you who live in the MD/DC/Northern VA area, or those who like to hit the road for whatever reason, I am thinking about trying to set up a meet-up for one of the late-May Reading games in Bowie. It's a Tuesday-Thursday series after Memorial Day, and all three nights are 7:05 starts. I'd prefer to wait until it gets closer so we can at least make an effort to go see one of our preferred prospects on the mound.
So I guess for now, just drop comments here so I can see if people are interested at least in the abstract. Then as we get into early May I'll ask again, pull your email addresses from WordPress, and we can work on a plan via email.

The key topic for the panel on Jan. 10: How insurance regulators, medical providers and insurance companies can guarantee patients access to quality care.
"Several of the larger health insurers kept their rates down by limiting their provider networks," Kreidler said during a panel discussion at the AMA's 2014 State Legislative Strategy Conference in Tucson, AZ. "This has upset both consumers and providers."
Kreidler said that he noticed a trend by insurance companies last summer to develop "narrower networks" of doctors and hospitals in the new health plans they offered for the first time on Washington's Health Benefits Exchange, which manages the Washington Healthplanfinder.
That's the online site where consumers can shop for 46 health plans and, in many cases, get subsidies to help pay for premiums.
Consumers can also choose from 51 plans in the outside market, where subsidies are not available. Although narrower networks are found in these plans as well, the concern is more prominent in the Exchange.
In some cases, insurers did not contract with doctors and hospitals that had traditionally been part of their networks. The new business model emerged as a way for insurers to keep premiums as inexpensive as possible for consumers.
This development has raised a red flag for consumers and doctors alike. Kreidler recognized the issue when insurers began filing new plans last year. His office is now developing further guidelines to make sure that consumers have reasonable access to services.
More transparency about which doctors and facilities are included in the plans is another key aspect – for both consumers and the medical community.
His office has already received many comments from consumer groups, doctors, insurers, Indian tribes, legislators and more. Draft rules will be ready in February and will be open for more public scrutiny.
Kreidler noted that this is just a first step.
"We want to make sure that we have up-to-date information so that consumers know which networks their doctors are in," Kreidler said. "Doctors also want to know the networks they're in. What we want to do is establish a common frame of reference for everyone."

Just in case you are wondering how I do these, I usually write the comments as the session starts. Then I take notes during the session and post it when it is done. That explains why at the beginning of the last session I guessed we'd hear from Elder Hales and but when it was posted, Elder Hales had already spoken.
There have been two pretty good sessions of conference so far. I can't pick a favourite, but there has definitely been lots to think about.
I'll be leaving shortly to go to the Priesthood Session with my father, and then I think we're going to Boston Pizza afterward.
President Henry B Eyring conducted
The music was provided by a combined choir from the Salt Lake university Institutes
The choir sang Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me
Elder Yoon Hwan Choi offered the invocation
The choir sang Carry On
Elder David A Bednar
- in one sentence say what the most distinguishing feature of the church is
- it is the authority of the priesthood
- worthiness and willingness is what is required to receive the priesthood
- the priesthood is active, not passive
- priesthood holders need authority and power
- me who bear the priesthood should be different
Brother Richard C Edgley
- we need to take part in the rescue effort
- loved ones are on their knees daily pleading with the Lord
- we have less-actives who are trying
- less actives need to be treated as equals
- he has an ancestor who went inactive, and he figures that over 6+ generations it could be as many as 3,000 people who are lost
- when he sees one person who is lost, he sees 3,000 people
Brother Adrián Ochoa
- many young men don't understand the good they can do
- stand up boldly for what is true
The choir and congregation sang Ye Elders of Israel
President Dieter F Uchtdorf
- holding the priesthood is no small blessing
- the basic gospel principles need to be part of our life's fabric

Gunner and Kid Kash vs. Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez
Kash and Gunner attacked Chavo and Hernandez before the bell and worked them over, tossing Hernandez out and double teaming Chavo. The crowd began chanting for Chavo, who dropkicked Kash out of the ring and nailed Gunner with the Three Amigos.
Guerrero was cut off. Kash and Gunner worked him over with chops in the corner. Gunner covered him for a one count. Kash and Gunner took turns tagging in and out and beating down Guerrero. I like them as a bitter heel tag team. They even pulled out the old Midnight Express fake tag to fool the referee.
The crowd continued to chant for Guerrero but he was nailed with a double slingshot suplex for a near fall. Guerrero fired back with a series of punches and they exchanged shots, Kash sent him into the ropes but Chavo nailed a head scissors. He celebrated but was nailed with a high/low before he could make a tag.
Gunner and Kash sent Chavo into the ropes. Kash went down and Gunner drilled Chavo with a clothesline as he ran over Kash. Gunner cinched in a side chinlock but Guerrero fired back. Gunner cut him off with a high backdrop. Kash raked his fingernails over Chavo's chest and then tied him up, scissoring his arms with his own legs.
Chavo was beaten in the corner with a series of shots by Gunner. He and Kash continued to work him over getting heat on him. Guerrero nailed a series of rights but was nailed and knocked right back into Kash's corner. Guerrero nailed a right but Gunner drilled him with an axehandle from behind. The story is that every time Guerrero fires back, he gets double-teamed.
Kash locked in a Camel Clutch but Guerrero escaped and rose to his feet, dropping back with an Electric Chair. Guerrero crawled for the tag but Kash pulled him back and tagged Gunner, who stomped the hell out of Chavo.
Kash tagged in, measured and kicked Guerrero hard in the mid-section. Guerrero fired back with an uppercut but missed a dropkick. Kash went for a catapult but something didn't really work out and Chavo instead jumped up to the ropes and went for a moonsault. He made the hot tag to Hernandez.
Hernandez cleaned house on Kash, drilling him with a big shoulderblock. Gunner missed a clothesline and ate one as well. Hernandez hit a big Beal on Kash, then nailed a running splash into the corner. He lifted up Kash for an inverted power bomb and drilled him. Gunner broke up the pinfall but was nailed with a big clothesline by Hernandez.
Hernandez nailed a big dive over the top onto Gunner. That never fails to be insanely impressive. Hernandez came back in with a slingshot shoulderblock into the ring on Kash. Guerrero came off the top with a frog splash for the pin.
Your winners, Chavo Guerrero & Hernandez!
Really solid opening match. Guerrero worked the hardest and with the most intensity he's worked in years. Kash and Guerrero were great in the ring together Kash and Gunner were a great team. Saving Hernandez for the hot tag and all the crazy big dives at the end was great. Really well laid out tag to kick off the show.
Bound for Glory Series: Falls Count Anywhere - Rob Van Dam vs. Pope D'Angelo Dinero vs. Magnus vs. Mr. Anderson.
Dinero didn't come out when his music hit. They went backstage and Aces and Eights were beating him backstage. They slammed his shoulder with a fence door backstage and stomped his sunglasses. RVD, the compassionate guy he is, tried to have the referee raise his hand. That was funny.
Anderson took the mic and said it appears it's now a Three-Man match and he didn't care because it meant there was one less bitch he had to worry about.
The crowd was solidly behind RVD when the bell rang. RVD posed to the crowd on the buckles, so Magnus nailed him and RVD fell to the floor. Anderson and Magnus battled back and forth in the ring. Anderson kicked him in the head but Magnus came back with a running clothesline. RVD returned and nailed both with kicks. He nailed a monkey flip on Magnus, who almost landed on Anderson by accident. RVD then nailed a spinning legdrop on Anderson.
They went outside, where RVD dropped Magnus onto the railing. He set up for the corkscrew guillotine legdrop but Anderson nailed him from behind, sending RVD into the railing. Anderson and Magnus battled around ringside. Magnus was run into the apron and then slammed into the ring steps for a two count by Anderson.
Anderson continued beating him around ringside but a whip was reversed and Anderson ate the stairs. Magnus grabbed a steel chair and measured Anderson, who ducked. He kicked Magnus and then drilled him and went for a DDT on the chair but Magnus slammed him backwards onto the chair.
Anderson and Magnus brawled towards the entrance stage. Magnus dropped Anderson on the railing but RVD returned and flung a chair hard to the back of Magnus' head. He then nailed a corkscrew guillotine legdrop on Anderson.
Magnus returned to nail RVD, then mocked his trademark mannerisms. He locked in a Boston Crab on the entrance ramp but Anderson nailed him from behind with a charging shot. Anderson dragged Magnus into the ring. They fired back and forth with strikes. They drilled each other with a double clothesline.
RVD returned and ascended to the top for a Five Star Frog Splash but Anderson nailed him. They teased a Tower of Doom spot with all three but Anderson nailed Magnus and dumped him to the floor. RVD worked over Anderson, who fell into the ring. RVD nailed the Frog Splash but Magnus pulled him out of the ring at two.
Magnus suplexed RVD on the ramp and returned to the ring to pick the bones. Magnus tried to grab a chair from ringside but a fan wouldn't give it up. RVD was bleeding on the apron. Magnus finally got a chair and met RVD on the stage, where he had crawled. Magnus was shoved away. He stopped himself from going off the side. RVD threw the chair at him and nailed the Van Daminator for the pin.
Your winner, with 20 points won, RVD!
A decent Falls Count Anywhere match where everyone worked hard. Taking out Dinero was addition by subtraction. Magnus really looked good here. Using the stipulation as cover for RVD using the chair added a nice dimension. They set up the RVD spots nicely. Solid.

If you are reading this, you are most likely going to be drunk this weekend. Why? Because everybody gets drunk on St Patrick's Day. And by everyone, we mean most people. Yes, we know, the holiday occurs on this coming Wednesday, but the only realistic celebration days for the working world are this weekend, which means you don't have much time to prepare. And that is why you have turned to us! With a drinking holiday fast approaching, we researched our beer options and found purchasing organic is superior for various reasons. Read on and be, first, horrified, then satiated.
Now, like you, perhaps, many of our favorite beers are conventionally produced. Essentially, this means, large-scale, factory farm produced hops end up in almost all beers. Much like with conventional fruits and vegetables, conventional hops are farmed using harmful pesticides. In fact, the EPA has reported in the last 60 years farming has moved away from labor intensive techniques to pesticide heavy methods. This comes with a whole host of environmental nightmares from the obvious pollution of soil, drinking water, and aquatic eco-systems to the startling death of wildlife, more than 60 million birds die annually from pesticide poisoning. Which makes us wonder, how much of these harmful chemicals end up in our bottled beers? In a Japanese study, many residues were found in shelf ready beers. For some chemicals, this means up to 36% of pesticides lacing the hops in the field, survive processing, brewing, and end up in the finished product. The bottom line, we are drinking and ingesting crop duster poisons. Told you we would horrify you, didn't we?
We have covered why conventional beers can be harmful to both the environmental and our own personal health. Now on to be satiated! Drinking conventional beers can be dangerous, however, we are not recommending you give up the wonderful world of beer just yet. Instead, we can all turn to organics! The benefits of drinking organics is pretty simple, as you won't be ingesting any of those harmful chemicals mentioned above. But on top of drinking pesticide free beer you will be supporting local farming. Most organic hops come from farms which are 100 acres or less. So by purchasing organic beer, you are not only doing your body good, but are supporting local and small farms! Sounds like a double win to us.
Fortunately, the organic beer market is expanding and there are many more choices available these days. The best place to find organic beer is in your city or region! Some of the best beers are from small, local, micro-breweries. You should check around your neighborhood for suggestions. However, there are many great organic companies that are available around the nation and should be stocked at your local specialty shop, large liquor store, natural foods store, co-op, or even Whole Foods. There are many different companies to choose from. Here are some of our favorites: Peak Organic(from Maine), Samuel Smith (although from far away Britain, how can you deny flavors like Strawberry?), and Wolaver's (Vermont brewery, Otter Creek's organic line). If none of our favorites satisfy your palate, you can check this list of organic beers from the Daily Green. You just might find something local and delicious!
Organic beers may not be as readily available as the conventional type yet, however, drinking them and supporting their business helps you and the environment. Next time you are at the liquor store think about those poor birds or the pesticides that can survive in your beer and fork out the extra cash to purchase the organic alternative. Remember the more we purchase, the more demand breweries will see, and that means more organic beers to choose from! So knock one back for the ole' Irish style holiday and make sure your label reads USDA Organic!
-Jeremy Pearson & Gina Williams

Featured Item: OWASP Week 2008
Following the success of OWASP Day in 2007, this year we have decided to have the first ever OWASP Week! This will take place between March 30th and April 4th. To see what chapters are participating, please go to OWASP_Week_April_08.
Featured Project: OWASP Guide 3.0 Development Resumes
Andrew van der Stock, the OWASP Guide Project Lead, is calling for volunteers to re-factor the OWASP Guide to be solely about secure architecture and coding using ESAPI. This will help distinguish the Guide from our other major documents:
- The Guide will become solely about coding securely using ESAPI with J2EE, .NET and PHP
- The Code Review Guide is about reviewing web apps
- The Testing Guide is about testing web apps
Andrew is looking for volunteers to take on individual chapters. There are 16 chapters, and each should take one person about a month to re-factor, followed by a few months for peer review, QA, diagrams, and final acceptance. The goal is to release the final OWASP Guide 3.0 at the OWASP US Conference in late 2008.
If you're interested, please join the owasp-guide mail list:
Once joined, please post to the list with an introduction and a list of which chapters you'd are interested in taking on. If you've previously volunteered, please just say so and priority will be given to your chapter choices.

Lucio looked me in the eye and said, "You have some ID?"
Confused because I just gave him my seapass, I said, "Um. I have my drivers license but it's all the way up in my room."
"I can't give you rum without an ID." SINCE WHEN, LUCIO? SINCE WHEN? I had been drinking all week on the damned boat. Oh, and here's the kicker. The drinking age in international waters is 18. Eighteen! I am nearly 27. There is a time when looking young is flattering and then there is a time when it keeps me from fruity rum drinks. And that, my friends, is a problem.
"HE WON'T SERVE ME ALCOHOL!" I cried as I sulked back to my beach chair. "I should have showed him my wedding ring!"
Woulda coulda shoulda. Lucio, you are dead to me.
Don't worry, the story has a happy ending. Approximately ten seconds after returning drinkless to my seat, a waiter came by asking if anyone needed a drink. Ding! Ding!
"She's 40," offered my father-in-law.
"I swear I am not 12!" I promised the kind soul.
He brought me a drink. And I cowered, sipping it in secret, afraid Lucio would spy my fruity beverage and assume I was trying to get away with something.
Anyhow, my loves. I received a promotion at work a few weeks ago and I am quite pleased. However, the fact that the word "senior" is in my new title does not mesh well with my girlish appearance. I need help looking my age. Now, pay no attention to the fact that I don't think I've ever looked my age. People always assumed I was many years younger than reality.
I remember one especially painful instance when I was home from college for the summer running errands. I believe I was 21. I walked in to the bank and the teller squealed, "SOMEONE'S GOING TO BE DRIVING SOON!"
I gave her the dirtiest look I could muster and sheepishly admitted that I had been driving for years and that I was in fact, in my 20s.
Okay. So, your mission, if you choose to accept it:
Send me suggestions for how I can look more polished and professional. I'm 26. Maybe with some help I can at least pass for an 18-year-old on some godforsaken ship where you are deprived of rum.
I know I could use a new haircut, so send me some inspiration. Makeup tricks. Links to hot business suits. Please. Anything. I'm begging you.
(Someone already suggested that I start smoking meth. This is an example of bad advice. Please and thank you.)

Harness Racing: Pacing
Harness racing is a form of racing only open to Standardbreds (in North America). This form of racing involves horses pulling carts with drivers controlling them. Standardbreds perform either at the trot or at the pace when they race. Pacing is a gait in which the horse moves his legs laterally (right front and right rear, left front and left rear). Pacing is slightly faster than trotting and horses who pace are less likely to break gait. Pacing is more popular than trotting in the United States.

Phillip Phillips Had Jennifer Lopez Screaming 'Yes! Yes! Yes!' on 'American Idol'
It was double songs all the way on 'American Idol' and who better to sing a double than the guy with a double name? Phillip Phillips started his "final seven" battle with some delicious 'You Got It Bad' by Usher. And now we've all got it bad, and can't wait for our chance to meet up with Phillips in the midnight hour after his 'In the Midnight Hour.'
Phillips took his folk guitar and obliterated any impression we ever had about Usher's angsty 'You Got It Bad.' He wanted to keep it intimate and that's exactly what he did. There was an unexpected sensuality to the song that had the audience on its feet and Jennifer Lopez saying, "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Then he followed it up with a soul-filled, strutty and extremely fun performance of Wilson Pickett's 'In the Midnight Hour.'
Steven Tyler hit the nail on the head when he told Phillips that he surprises us every week. He said, "I feel like a chump. You fool us every time. We never know what we're gonna get." And then J. Lo had Phillips blushing with her declaration of how sexy his performance was. "That was so sexy. Very sexy," she raved. She said he was a great singer because he can sing any song. And Randy Jackson may not have found him sexy but he did say, "You are the bomb!"
Later, they ate him up like the yummy treat he was during his second performance. Jackson admired his ability to always have exactly what he needs in a performance and his knack for being exactly who he is. Lopez had a hard time staying in her chair. Her declaration of, "You make me want to get up there and do that little step with you" had us all ready to see a little Phillips and Lopez dance number. Finally, Tyler had it right when he called Phillips "brilliantly awkward."
Jimmy Lovine said this song would earn him new fans tonight and he was most certainly right. Anyone watching officially has it bad for Phillip Phillips.

Americans for Responsible Solutions, the organization founded by former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ) and her husband Mark Kelly, has released a new TV ad in the campaign to curb gun violence.
"We have a problem -- where we shop, where we pray, where our children go to school," Giffords says in the ad. "But there are solutions we can agree on, even gun owners like us. Take it from me: Congress must act. Let's get this done."
The ad -- at a six-figure buy -- will air this week in DC, as well in the cities represented by congressional leaders: San Francisco (Nancy Pelosi); Cincinnati, OH (John Boehner); Louisville, KY (Mitch McConnell); and Las Vegas, NV (Harry Reid).
And it comes after Giffords and her husband recently sat down with the New York Times for an interview. "Ms. Giffords, a former Democratic congresswoman from Arizona, a gun owner, an astronaut's wife, a shooting survivor and an incipient gun-control advocate, is settling into the third act of her public life. Her career as a lawmaker is behind her, but so is her role as the fragile, slightly mysterious victim in the months after she was shot point-blank in a parking lot here just over two years ago. Now, she is the face and emotional dynamism behind a new advocacy group and a separate political action committee, Americans for Responsible Solutions, dedicated to reducing gun violence. It is an effort, she said, that gives her 'purpose.'"
Giffords and Kelly also will attend President Obama's State of the Union on Tuesday.

Eddie Izzard doesn't just give voice to an international tycoon in "Cars 2," he IS one. Or at least he's getting there.
Izzard, who provides the voice of uber-wealthy motorized magnate Sir Miles Axelrood in the Pixar sequel, tells PopcornBiz that he's an admirer of the colorful, visionary, larger-than-life style of globetrotting billionaires like Sir Richard Branson. "I do like Richard Branson's style, which is also, I'd say, Ben and Jerry's style, the Pixar style, the Google style, the Apple style: positive and fun things, design, thinking out of the box. I love all that."
And, after a long, ongoing stint as one of the most popular standup comedy draws on the planet, Izzard's getting a whiff of that rarefied air himself. "I think I'm living the European dream which is similar, but slightly different, than the American Dream," he says. "It has more people on mopeds amid the sound of the Mediterranean coast saying 'Ciao' to each other. If I was just a pure businessman – which I could've done because I did accounting and financial management in college – I think it'd be quite similar to what [my career] is now, because I do sell my comedy around the world."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Already one of the most quoted-back-to-himself comics (nary a day goes by without him receiving a "cake or death" reference), Izzard's now getting his punchlines parroted back to him in unexpected accents. "I had a French guy doing it to me in English and he said to me, 'You did this bit.' I said, 'Oh, yes, yes. That's a fun bit, that bit,' and he was doing the whole thing and he'd learned it all in English. I thought, 'F**king hell!'"
Izzard calls his global brand expansion just prep work for achieving a singular goal: "It's a warm up for the Hollywood Bowl on the 20th of July," he says. "No comedian has done it as a solo act. Richard Pryor has played there, [Monty] Python did three nights as a group, but no soloist, we think – we're checking on it."
Izzard's certainly doing things his way: despite a plethora of offers to translate his specific style of comedy into on-screen parts, he continues to save it for the stage and focus on roles that define him as a dramatic actor instead - his next role will see him tackling a "realistic" take on the Snow White fairy tale "Snow White and the Huntsman" (Izzard plays one of the seven dwarfs).
"Part of my reason of not doing comedy on television very much and not doing any comedy series or hardly any comedy films, really, is because I wanted to do dramatic roles," he says. "I like doing dramas, and drama is what I wanted to do in the first place, when I was seven. So it's this schizophrenic thing with surreal comedy, drama and I keep pushing them up. The comedy is going nice and the drama is getting better and better."

"… If we argue 1.0% MTLP [toxemia] with the Brewer Diet … that's still one per hundred, ten per thousand, ten thousand per million. I am saying zero, 0, zip, NONE per million …."
~Dr. Tom Brewer
Toxemia. Pre-Eclampsia. HELLP Syndrome. Premature birth.
Low birth weight. Intrauterine growth retardation.
It's not genetics. It's not random. The cause is NOT unknown. Toxemia CAN be stopped. Preeclampsia CAN be stopped. Best of all, YOU can stop it!
HOW? All the scientific research being done on toxemia and preeclampsia these days is focusing on treatment, and none of it is promising. But the research has already been done, many times and many ways in the past 50+ years, and we know that you can PREVENT this from happening to you in the first place, no matter what your personal history may be. The simple answer? GOOD NUTRITION.
Common sense tells you to eat right when you're pregnant, and traditional wisdom says you're "eating for two". So why are doctors telling you to cut out salt, avoid gaining too much weight, and giving you little or no information about what IS a good diet for pregnancy? Why is the medical community so disinterested in this information? As one doctor put it, "No one is going to make any money off good nutrition."
If you're new to this site, we invite you to browse around, and glean from the wisdom of Dr. Tom Brewer, who himself had no toxemia in his own practice using his own simple, common sense nutritional plan. Other experts are represented here as well. In particular, you may want to look at the following pages:
- The Brewer Diet for Healthy Pregnancy
- FAQ: Overweight and Pregnant
- Nutrition Notes: Alternative Eating! The Past and Future of the Brewer Diet
- FAQ: Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH)>
- Bibliography: Forty Years of Medical Research Prove Nutrition is Key Factor in Toxemia Prevention

On the same day that the Columbus Board of Education decided to spare Independence High School from the chopping block, that school's principal resigned, another casualty of the district's data-scrubbing scandal. Independence will remain open, but Brookhaven will become the first Columbus high school to close in more than three decades. Last night, the school board approved a revised recommendation to close five schools at the end of this school year.
On the same day that the Columbus Board of Education decided to spare Independence High School from the chopping block, that school�s principal resigned, another casualty of the district�s data-scrubbing scandal.
Independence will remain open, but Brookhaven will become the first Columbus high school to close in more than three decades. Last night, the school board approved a revised recommendation to close five schools at the end of this school year.
>> For more on the Columbus City Schools' attendance scandal, click here
Also closing by summer: Monroe Middle School; Arlington Park and Maybury elementary schools; and Fifth Avenue Elementary, which will see its historic Victorian Village building close, though all its students will go to another nearby building. The students from the other closed schools will be redistributed among other buildings.
Independence High, along with Siebert Elementary, will remain open. The two schools were on an initial seven-building closure list that was revised by Superintendent Dan Good.
The school board approved the list unanimously near the end of a nearly four-hour meeting last night at East High School, deciding to vote down a last-ditch bid by two board members to save Maybury on the East Side.
In the end, Good told board members that no one wanted to close schools, but that the move would save $10 million toward a goal of $50 million in cuts for the next school year. Keeping the underutilized schools open, he said, would mean program cuts from somewhere.
Board President Gary Baker said, �Closing and consolidating schools is the last option, it�s the last thing we look at. Staff is turning over every single rock to look for any potential savings in any area.�
Before the closures, a half-hour private meeting was held to �consider the dismissal or discipline� of an employee. The board emerged and accepted the resignation of Independence High�s principal, Christopher Qualls, 46. Qualls has been on paid leave since the district suspended him in January, on the same day the state auditor issued a blistering report on data-scrubbing by district officials.
�It�s a way that brings his employment with the district to an end,� Good said after the meeting. �He�ll be using his available vacation leave and accrued personal leave, and at the conclusion of that time he�ll separate from the district.�
Baker declined to discuss Qualls� resignation, which the board accepted unanimously.
In relation to the school closings, the board voted to allow the 249 students at Monroe Middle School on the Near East Side to have preferred treatment in the district�s lottery for next school year. Monroe is a 100 per-
cent lottery school, meaning parents chose to send their children there rather than neighborhood schools.
The five buildings to close will be added to the 40 or so that have been shuttered in the past decade, according to district facilities chief Carole Olshavsky.
Board member W. Shawna Gibbs pointed out that some of the low enrollment that led to the five buildings closing was because of past district decisions to reassign students away from those schools.
�We�ve manufactured some of this crisis,� Gibbs said.
Olshavsky responded that declining enrollment districtwide is what drove the entire process.
The district still must cut $40 million from next year�s budget, and Good warned that major staff reductions are coming.
Baker said district officials are starting to talk about another levy. The district�s last attempt at a levy, in November, failed overwhelmingly, with almost 70 percent of voters rejecting it.
�We have begun discussions on when we will next go to the ballot,� Baker said. �Those discussions are far from concluded at this point.�

Alelo had an existing data center of more than 90 servers and needed to move to a more virtualized infrastructure that could support operations growth while ensuring the organization's high standard of service quality for its customers. The organization was looking for a solution that would help reduce the need for physical data center space, and provide the high availability and scalability necessary for new projects.
Working with IBM, Alelo chose to deploy PureSystems running a hybrid Power and x86 environment that would keep the databases on a virtualized UNIX platform and workload applications on x86 platforms. This environment would allow Alelo to consolidate and simplify its server footprint, reduce spending on software license and expand system availability and performance. The project also included a mirrored system in a second site, located 600km away from the main data center, helping ensure high availability and business continuity.
The tangible benefits of the project were almost immediate. In addition to consolidating the data center, generating significant reduction in power consumption and heat emission; the reduction in the number of processors generated considerable savings in software licenses. PureSystems also helped the company to spend less in hardware and software maintenance and provided high performance with fewer resources.
This return on investment is one of the main reasons that since the systems were launched in April 2012, more than 8,000 clients from 100 countries have selected IBM PureSystems.
The IBM PureSystems family offers clients an alternative to current enterprise computing models, where multiple and disparate systems require significant resources to set up and maintain. The PureFlex System enables organizations to more efficiently create and manage an infrastructure. PureApplication Systems help organizations reduce the cost and complexity of rapidly deploying and managing applications. PureData Systems are tuned for cloud computing and can consolidate more than 100 databases on a single system. In addition to the common web application patterns supported by PureApplication System, the combination of both PureData and PureApplication Systems can be used for end to end transaction workloads.

Video Tinting
– Tint Filter makes it easy to change the mood of your video
– Apply different color filters to make your video feel more atmospheric, romantic or even dark and dangerous
Easy Color Replacement
Select any color in a video and replace it with another using the eye-dropper tool
Modify Contrast & Tint with RGB Tonal Curves
Manually setting the tonal values of the shadows, midtones, and highlights in a video is a great way to achieve exactly the look youâre after.
Look-up Table (LUT) Conversion
– LUTs are useful for matching footage from one source to another
– ColorDirector supports .3dl, .mga, .m3d, .cube and .csp format LUT files
Popular Format Support incl. H.265 (HEVC) and XAVC-S
Import a wide range of popular formats for recorded video, including MP4, WMV, FLV, AVI, MPEG-2, AVCHD, ultra high def 4K files, next-gen H.265 video and now the popular XAVC-S format.

What will our next laptop need?
Posted by Joost Elfering in conceptual & philosophic, design on 2010/04/22
I've been thinking about getting a new laptop for a while now. The only thing holding me back is actually finding what I want… I'm a "traveling" web developer and designer and I work a lot at flex workspaces. When I get there I try to get a hold of an extra monitor and I'm ready to go. Everything I need should be in my bag… WRONG. I'm finding things I could really use on a daily basis.
I do have a lot of ideas how a new generation of laptops could look like. is it possible? maybe…

Cost savings and carbon footprint reduction can sometimes seem like opposing goals. But there's one place where the two go hand-in-hand: the data center.
According to the Uptime Institute, data centers are responsible for as much as 35 percent of total energy use in non-manufacturing, information-intensive companies. But despite the data center's heavy power load there is a great opportunity to save money through more effective energy management.
According to research by the Ponemon Institute, the average cost of an unplanned data center outage in 2015 was $740,357. A report by Verizon showed even small data breaches — those with fewer than 100 files lost – may cost between $18,120 and $35,730. The top causes of technology outages include: equipment failure, UPS failure, cybercrime, and human error. What will you do if your technology infrastructure experiences an unexpected failure?
Technology is constantly evolving, and the processes and skills needed to manage it efficiently must evolve as well. Availability, security, and skills are key to ensure continuous efficient operations and the flexibility to meet the dynamic needs of customers.
