Go forward in time to March 2010.
Seth Nickell posted a fantastic piece (part 1, part 2) on why designers have a hard time doing good work for GNOME. Read both parts. I'll wait.
One thing that Seth says is that sometimes designers come up with a design, and then programmers dissect every pixel of it asking for an explanation. Why did you put this here? Why is that a 3-pixel border instead of 4? This is extremely unnerving to designers, as when you are skilled at something, you don't consciously think about all the decisions you make while doing something. Their skill told them that that place is where the thing would look more balanced, or give you the most economy of mouse movement. Their skill told them that 3 pixels looked just right, while 4 pixels would look too fat. I mean, just look — can't you see the difference? (Programmer: no, I can't; that's why I asked you, and 4 is an easier number for me to deal with).
Programmers also tend to burden designers with many questions because it is them, the programmers, who will actually have to go through implementing everything that the designer said. Also, it is very hard to restrain yourself from posting your pet peeves when someone is doing a design — I know, I've done it myself.
For designers, having to justify every decision keeps them from doing good work (or from doing anything at all). Just see what happens with the OpenOffice.org usability train-werck — nobody wants to change the user interface because they would have to go through a bureaucratic process of justifying every single thing they did, write a spec, get it approved, etc.
However, Seth's tongue-in-cheek recommendation of "just trust designers" is not 100% wise. See what happens out there in the physical world when we trust starchitects like Daniel Libeskind and I. M. Pei. They will just jerk off on your city and they will spooge a monstrosity which no one dares to demolish because it was so expensive to build.
|Comments from a programmer
|An apartment building.
|Pretty, unpretentious, respects its surroundings.
|An apartment building according to Daniel Libeskind.
|Yeah, you can live in the pointy end of frozen shark fin's soup.
|Islamic art.
|It's fractal, colorful, and has 1400 years of tradition.
|Museum where I. M. Pei wants to show Islamic art.
|Luciana is getting pretty good at stacking blocks like that.
Fortunately, human interface designers are not starchitects. They are very reasonable people, trying to build tools that are rewarding to use.
Programmers get annoyed at designers who don't show a hint of knowing how software is implemented. This is like builders who get annoyed at starchitects — yes, mister Gehry, your fucking roof leaks because you designed a surface with a local minimum and no drain. Water will pool in local minima. 2000-year-old fix which you didn't do just to be interesting: cascade of roofs.
A designer who is not involved in the implementation cannot be a good designer, and I will explain why. Designers should not deliver gold-framed drawings drawn with the finest inks on parchment, expecting that the lowlife builders will follow the designs to the letter. Designers need to be involved with the construction. That will teach them what is necessary and what is superfluous, and it will make them better designers. Seth mentions that he and Marco worked very well together when Marco questioned him, because there was an interaction between designer and builder.
You may not be the best programmer or the best designer, but if you work to acquire programming and design skills that are above average, then you have already won.
Design of something as complex as software is best done iteratively. You use the scientific method: design a bit, code a bit, test the outcome. How do you avoid testing mostly screw-ups until you hit the right design? You follow a few rules.
Which rules? Allow me to introduce you to the monumental work of Christopher Alexander.
Introduction: A Pattern Language, or architecture for humans
In the 1970s, Christopher Alexander and other architects at Berkeley went to various places around the world, trying to see if there were reasons for why some places and buildings are comfortable, livable, and nice, and some are not. They distilled their findings into a list of good architectural patterns, and published three books — the first two being The Timeless Way of Building and A Pattern Language.
A Pattern Language is remarkable for several reasons. First, it is immensely practical. If you are building something, you can grab the book and instantly get hundreds of ideas for your project. Second, it is not about a particular style or about superfluous decoration. The book doesn't tell you, "make this shape of flourishes in the handrails"; instead it tells you, "a house should have its rooms placed such that sunlight enters them according to the right time of the day - East for the bedrooms in the morning, West for the living room in the afternoon". Third, you can see a whole philosophy of good living emerge from the book. It advocates a process that allows you to construct an environment that respects your needs as an individual, as a social human being, and as a living being that should not damage its environment.
For us programmers, this book is also interesting because it was the inspiration for Gamma et al's Design Patterns, and a whole slew of pattern-minded thinking that we are used to.
Let's look at five little examples of patterns from the book.
Positive outdoor space. You can feel it in the small, cozy public squares in medieval towns. You can most definitely not feel it in the huge parking lagoons in shopping malls along the highway. Positive space is more or less convex, it is partially enclosed, and it has a definite shape. It is not just leftover space. Here, negative and positive space between buildings (note how old versions of the GIMP were a pain in the ass to use because the program's windows looked like the version on the left):
Light on two sides of every room. This diffuses the light, thus making a more comfortable environment. There is no glare from the window. There is no time of the day when you don't get good sunlight. Here, light on two sides, and light on only one side:
Intimacy gradient. The entrance to your home is semi-public space. The living room is communal space. Your bedroom is private. If you must cross the bedroom to reach the bathroom from the living room, then having visitors will be uncomfortable. So, you design your home so that the connections between rooms form a sequence from public to private.
Structure follows social spaces. Communal areas need to be ample and have high ceilings, and they need to be "in the center of things". Intimate areas like reading alcoves and your study desk need low ceilings and separation from the rest (through doors or half-height walls) to make them private.
Open shelves. Deep cupboards make you put things behind other things, so you can't see them nor reach them. They also have a big footprint. Cupboards that are one-item-deep automatically stay tidy, and you always know where everything is. Things that you use frequently should not be behind doors.
So you can see the essence of design patterns: good, tested recipes that don't constrain your implementation in unnecessary ways.
But where did the patterns come from?
Although the list of patterns is tremendously useful, and universally applicable to urbanism and construction, Alexander was not satisfied. Where did the patterns come from? Can we make new patterns from scratch, or must be we content with what traditional architecture has produced so far? Are patterns necessary at all?
Alexander spent the next twenty years researching these questions. He arrived at the following conclusions:
Nature creates things that all have about 15 properties in common (I'll show you later). This happens solely through natural processes, although it is not quite clear why very different processes produce similar results.
Traditional architectures, or towns which just evolved over time, also have those properties. You can derive all the patterns in A Pattern Language from those properties.
Each property can also describe a transformation to the existing space.
The only way to achieve good design is by using those transformations, one at a time.
This was published in 2003-2004 in four volumes titled The Nature of Order.
The fifteen properties
The first book in The Nature of Order deals with fifteen properties that appear in all natural systems.
You should really look at photos and drawings of the fifteen properties to understand them. I'll just summarize them super-briefly here.
|Levels of scale. There is a balanced range of sizes. You don't have abrupt changes in the sizes of adjacent things.
|Strong centers. You can clearly identify parts of the space or structure.
|Thick boundaries. Lines delimit things. In living systems, edges are the most productive environments (e.g. all the critters that live at the edge of the water).
|Alternating repetition. High/low, thick/thin, shape A and shape B. Things oscillate.
|Positive space. Space is beautifully shaped, convex, enclosed. It is not leftover space.
|Good shape. The sails of a ship, the shell of a snail, the beak of a bird. They attain the optimal shape, which is beautiful.
|Local symmetries. The world is not symmetrical at large. But small things tend to be symmetrical, because it is easier that way. Your house is not symmetrical, but each window is.
|Deep interlock and ambiguity. The crooked streets of old towns. Axons in neurons. Two strong centers are made stronger if a third center is placed between them, so that it belongs to both.
|Contrast. You can distinguish where one thing ends and the next one begins, because they don't fade into each other.
|Gradients. Things fade into each other where they need to. Concentrations in solutions, snow or earth banks, the wires that support a bridge.
|Roughness. The world is not frictionless and smooth. Irregularities are good.
|Echoes. Things repeat and echo each other. Things are unique in their exact shape, but those shapes repeat over and over.
|The void. Sometimes you get a big blank area for quietness of form. A lake, a courtyard, a picture window.
|Simplicity and inner calm. Things are as simple as possible, but no simpler.
|Non-separateness. Everything depends on everything else. You can't separate a fish from the pond and the aquatic plants. You can't separate a column from the base of the building.
Structure-preserving transformations
The second book in The Nature of Order describes how each of those properties also defines a transformation. For example:
Thick boundaries. You can sometimes transform something beneficially by adding a boundary to it. You plant a hedge around a garden, which then serves as beauty, as a wind-break, and as a productive system on its own. Scrollable boxes without a GTK_SHADOW_IN frame are hard to distinguish from the window's background. You put a cornice at the top of a building, so you don't get an abrupt transition between the building and the sky.
Local symmetries. Small parts of built things are easier to build symmetrically — because they are turned on a lathe, because they need access from both sides, because they fold like a book. Making things asymmetrical "just to be interesting" takes extra work and it is harder to make them work well.
Positive space. Feeling too exposed when in your desk? Add a waist-high bookshelf beside you to delimit your space, but not to completely close you off.
Each of these is a structure-preserving transformation. You make a change in the existing structure not by tearing it down and remaking it, but by tweaking one thing at a time according to those properties and transformations.
The fundamental process
Over a long argument, Alexander explains why following this process of applying structure-preserving transformations is the only way to achieve a good, functional design. This is not just for buildings, but for everything we construct. We mimic nature, but we do it faster.
So, how do you do one step in your design/implementation process?
1. Start with what you have — an empty lot, or an already-built building, or a program that looks ugly and is hard to use.
2. Identify the centers that exist in that space. Find the weakest center or the least coherent.
3. See how to apply one or more of the fifteen structure-preserving transformations to strengthen that weak center. Does it need to be delimited? Does it need to be blended with its surroundings? Does it need more detail? Does it need to be de-cluttered?
4. Find the new centers that are born when you apply the transformation to the old center. Does the new combination make things stronger? Prettier? More functional?
5. Ensure that you did the simplest possible thing.
6. Go back to the beginning for the next step.
A super-short summary could be, "find the bad parts; make them better in the simplest way possible; repeat until it is all good".
What the hell does this have to do with software design?
Let me give you some examples.
Refactoring is just applying structure-preserving transformations. You don't change what the program does; you just change how it is built internally, piece by piece.
You do not rewrite software; you fix the software that exists. Otherwise you lose all that knowledge, even if it looks ugly in its curent state.
You don't design the whole user interface for a big program in a single step. You go from big to small or small to big (levels of scale); you test each part individually until it is good (strong centers); you make sure the parts are not too disconnected from each other (non-separateness). You move a few widgets where they are easier to reach, or where they are closer to the data to which they refer. You remove some frames and separators to reduce clutter.
Free software and cities
We software developers are building cities. I include code hackers, designers, translators, documenters, etc. in the term "developers" — building cities of software programs interconnected with each other through IPC. Each program is a building, large or small, simple or complex, each with a different purpose and layout.
Designing a whole system (kernel, libraries, tools, shell, programs) would be like trying to design a whole city. A good city cannot be designed; it has to emerge from the interactions between its inhabitants, over many years. Good cities are emergent, not designed. Ecosystems emerge from the interactions of living and non-living beings; they are not designed and they always evolve.
Remember that no one can work on all of free software. You cannot design a whole system by yourself, and you cannot make everyone agree on everything for a perfectly consistent design. But if you follow the structure-preserving transformations and the fundamental process, you can build your part of a big system and it will automatically be harmonious with everything else — and you will have fixed the bad parts first, making the overall goodness much better.
So, go forth and design and build and iterate.

GTK+ tip o'the day.
Do you have a GtkTable and some row/column is expanding when you don't want it to, and yet all of those row/column's children have EXPAND|FILL turned off? Put a GtkAlignment in the empty slots in that row/column, also with EXPAND|FILL turned off. It seems that GtkTable will let a row/column expand if some of the row/column's slots are empty, regardless of what the other children want.
This is the old gnome-display-properties:
And this is an improved version:
This is in the display-capplet-ui-cleanup branch.
With these changes, it should be more obvious which options belong to the currently-selected monitor. The dialog now fits in 640x480 pixels, which is nice for netbooks. The mouse cursor changes to a hand when you move it over the draggable monitors, so the ugly label with instructions is not needed anymore.
Update 2010/Feb/18 - The capplet is now in git master; the screenshot above is updated.
Luciana was munching on sausage slices. She grabbed the curved end of one sausage, looked carefully at it, and exclaimed, "look, a little vault!".
I guess that's what she learns in this house.

Island Adventures Whale Watching
- Date: 03/24/2018
- Location: Port of Everett's South Guest Dock 1
1638 West Marine View Dr
Everett, Washington 98201
The early Spring (March, April, May) provides one of the best whale watching opportunities in Washington. Over 20,000 Gray whales migrate North up the West Coast and some find the rich feeding grounds near the South end of Whidbey Island. On our tours we often see the same whales year after year. Island Adventures works closely with Cascadia Research Group to catalogue all of the new and returning whales each season.
Guests aboard the Island Explorer will learn to identify individual whales and have the opportunity to experience a huge variety of wildlife along the way. We commonly see Harbor Seals, Sea Lions, Dall's and Harbor porpoise, Bald Eagles, Osprey and many varieties of sea and shore birds.
Our blog is archived back to 2003. Check out our Spring tours from past seasons in March and April to know what to expect this time of year.
Island Adventures has been offering spring Gray whale tours for over a decade. Departing from Everett our guests enjoy the calm protected waters of Possession Sound, Saratoga Passage and Port Gardner Bay. Because of the calm water and high concentration of whales this time of year, our Everett Gray Whale tours have a 99.5% sighting success rate. To reserve your spot,visit the Island Adventure Whale Watching website.

The sun is a source of infinite energy. Atmospheric convection and wind currents are driven perpetually as sunlight warms the earth - the challenge is harnessing as much wind power as possible and integrating that power seamlessly into existing distribution systems. As a renewable source of energy, wind has yet to be fully utilized. Unlike solar energy captured using panels during the day, the wind generally blows at night when electricity demand is already low. What can be done in the mean-time to expand the use of the technology we have now?
The EMS Energy Institute is hosting a new seminar series, Energy Exchange, as part of the Institute's outreach mission. The seminars focuses on highly relevant energy topics, especially in the area of fossil fuels. Energy topics discussed include new innovations in carbon dioxide utilization, clean coal, petroleum and natural gas, fuel cells, and more.

So it is crucial that every time you mention financials in your business plan, to really give them the correct context. When I have worked with clients in developing business plans, there has been a budget or amount set aside for example to be spent on marketing, which has been decided a bit arbitrarily. I mean with no real research, no understanding of what that amount needs to be spent on, and what that budget will truly achieve. It seems to have been put there to fill the need to attribute a certain sum to marketing.

8. The Scarifyers: The Thirteen Hallows
Released December 2012
When a haunted chess set causes consternation at the British Chess Championships, and a horse magically materialises in Kettering Agricultural Museum, MI:13 are called to investigate.
Harry Crow (David Warner) and Professor Dunning (Terry Molloy) follow the trail of inexplicable happenings to an unremarkable terraced house in South Wales, home to the mysterious Mr Merriman (David Benson). He's very old, and very mad; but is there more to Merriman than first appears?
Meanwhile, in the South West of England, famed archaeologist Ralegh Radford (Ewan Bailey) is on the verge of the greatest discovery of the age. Britain's Tutankhamen, the press are calling it. But what he certainly isn't expecting to unearth is boisterous 1400-year-old knight Glewlwyd Gafaelfawr (Gareth David-Lloyd).
As Crow and Dunning unravel an unlikely plot to resurrect Britain's greatest-ever hero, the race is on to stop sinister forces at home and abroad from finding… THE THIRTEEN HALLOWS.

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. thinks it would be wise for the Raiders to trade down and get additional picks for the second consecutive year.
Last season, the Raiders held the No. 3 overall pick and then traded back to No. 12 in order to get a second-round pick at No. 42.
So instead of getting only cornerback DJ Hayden, whom general manager Reggie McKenzie said the Raiders would have taken at No. 3, they also got Florida State offensive tackle Menelik Watson at No. 42.
A similar maneuver could pay off for McKenzie again, given that the Raiders currently don't have selections in the fifth and sixth rounds. After the Raiders fourth-round pick at No. 109, they aren't scheduled for another pick until No. 219 in the seventh.
The Raiders have two additional picks in the seventh round at No. 235 and No. 247 for deals involving quarterbacks Carson Palmer (Cardinals) and Terrelle Pryor (Seahawks).
"I like the trade down possibility a lot," Kiper said. "They've got holes at wide receiver, defensive tackle, outside linebacker, corner. The list goes on and on. They let some really good players go. Lamarr Houston is a real good player. Jared Veldheer is a real good player."
Kiper sees Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins as a "no-brainer" if Oakland stays at at No. 5, but ranked Texas A&M wide receiver Mike Evans, Michigan tackle Taylor Lewan and Buffalo outside linebacker Khalil Mack as the most likely available picks.
In Kiper's most recent mock draft, he had the Raiders getting Mack, a 6-foot-2, 251-pound outside linebacker that some analysts see as the best player in the draft.
McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen have said they will look at add a quarterback. Kiper's most likely candidates from the second-round or later to wind up in Oakland include Jimmy Garappolo of Eastern Illinois, A.J. McCarron of Alabama, Aaron Murray of Georgia and Tom Savage of Pittsburgh.
Kiper rates local product David Fales, considered a third-round possibility by ESPN analyst and former quarterback Trent Dilfer, as a fifth-round possibility.

GULLANE, Scotland (Reuters) - Ernie Els, who begins the defense of his British Open title on Thursday, has agreed to become the Asian Tour's first international ambassador.
The 43-year-old South African also joins South Korean pair Yang Yong-eun and KJ Choi, Fijian Vijay Singh and Jeev Milkha Singh of India as an honorary member of the 10-year tour.
"It is a great honor for me ... this is absolutely wonderful," Els said in a news release on Tuesday. "I've played in Asia for many, many years and ... this is something which I will take seriously.
"Who knows where the Asian Tour will be in 10 years' time? I can only see it growing ... golf is so spectacular over there for the people and they are so excited about it.
"Golf courses are going up all over the place there. It just keeps growing."
Former world number one Els has been a big supporter of the Asian Tour, featuring in 26 tournaments across the region since 2004 and picking up two victories and 16 other top-10 finishes.
The golfer known as the 'Big Easy', for his smooth-swinging style, will play alongside U.S. Open winner Justin Rose and American Brandt Snedeker in the first two rounds of this week's Open.

Building yourself an inexpensive two-speed manual
It may not be as popular in Saturday-night stock car racing circles as the Borg Warner T10, but the classic Muncie four-speed manual transmission can be made into a capable racer. Like the T10, the Muncie is compact, uncomplicated, capable of withstanding a moderate amount of abuse and easily modified.
It is the modification part of that list that pricked our ears when gear specialist Jim Cook of Jim Cook Racing Transmissions told us he was modifying a Muncie for a short-track racer. Cook's race-ready Muncies go through a lightening program that cuts over five pounds of rotating weight by eliminating First and Second gears. Third gear becomes the pit and restart gear while Fourth gear at 1:1 is for racing. Other modifications are also made to help the transmission live under racing abuse and even break the Muncie's annoying habit of popping out of gear at precisely the wrong times.
The Muncie–which is also sometimes referred to as the Rock Crusher–was produced and installed in GM vehicles between 1963 and 1974. That wide time frame means a lot of Muncie transmissions were built, and a lot are still available out there. But, it also means that the design is over 30 years old, and while new replacement parts are still being produced, they aren't in big demand. In effect, the case and core components of the Muncie are cheap, but some select replacement parts–namely bearings–can be quite expensive. But Cook says that by intelligently swapping out components a race-ready Muncie can be built for around $500, which is just under half what a T10 would cost. Very few components from the T10 will work on the Muncie, but Cook has designed adaptors to use T10 bearings when the stock Muncie components are either hard to find or too expensive.
When built properly, Cook says a Muncie two-speed can reliably handle 450-500 horsepower, making them a realistic alternative for many different racing classes. If you decide to hunt for one in a junkyard, just remember that they appeared between 1963 and 1974 in several GM vehicles, but your best bets are Chevy performance cars like Novas and Camaros as well as the bigger cars.
The cases of the Muncie, Saginaw and T10 transmissions are almost indistinguishable to the untrained eye, and they are not interchangeable. Thankfully, however, there are easily identifiable features you can use to determine what you are looking at without hunting around for identification numbers. The Saginaw is the only one of the three that has the reverse shifter mechanism on the case. It is on the tail housing on the other two. On the Saginaw, it is easy to see because all three control rods on the shifter mechanism connect to the main case, while on a Muncie and T10, just one of the three control rods connects ends at the tail housing. The T10 and Muncie are identifiable because the bottom of the side cover on the T10 is curved while the bottom on a Muncie is straight.
If you're a racer who is on a budget (and who isn't?) a modified Muncie may be just the ticket to save you some money. An extra $500 will go a long way.

Get ready to cry about your wasted youth.
Meet Supercute!, the all-girl band from Brooklyn that's bringing the unself-conscious, upbeat sounds to your ears and heart. Founded by Rachel Trachtenburg, a nineteen-year-old singer and Elite model, whose last name might sound familiar because
she's Michelle Trachtenberg's evil twin she used to play the drums in her family's band, Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players. She was six. Yes, that's legal.
She's teamed up with fellow overachiever Julia Cumming to form Supercute!, and "Love Love Leave Love" is their first single. The full album is due out later this year.
What does everyone think? Is Supercute! your super jam? Or can you not get past your jealousy over a bunch of awesome teens having fun and being successful? Personally, I'm torn — but dammit, my toe is tapping. Get it, girls.

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts my self almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
Sonnet 29: Translation to modern English
When my luck has failed and no-one gives me any sympathy, I sit all alone and cry about being an outcast, and bother the deaf ears of heaven with my useless cries; and examine myself and curse my fate, wishing that I was like someone with good prospects; or that I looked like another, or had friends like yet another, coveting this man's skill, and that man's range – totally dissatisfied with the things I usually enjoy. Yet, as I'm thinking these thoughts, almost believing myself despicable, I think of you by chance and then my soul, like the lark rising from the glum earth at daybreak, sings hymns at heaven's gate. Because when I remember your sweet love, the thought brings such wealth that I'd then refuse to change places with kings.

The 100+ patch charts of our legendary Minimoog Classics Patch Charts Book plus 110 completely new designed Minimax ASB polyphonic Presets (velocity and non-velocity) are now available for this virtual analog synthesizer. The sounds are the perfect source basis for a real Minimoog classics recreation with the Creamware Minimax ASB.
The patch charts are nicely handwritten on graphical charts by the soundcreator himself for very quick and easy knob setting even on a Minimax ASB. The additional 110 polyphonic Presets are programmed by using also the new Minimax ASB parameters and saved as Minimax User Bank, loadable with the Creamware Minimax ASB PC-Software. The spiral binding book is for a handsome studio use and the idea behind this is to recreate the original Minimoog sounds, as it is an instrument without a Preset memory. So you have to set each knob for a Preset. An included Audio-CD with the original Minimoog sounds as perfect comparsion tool and easy´n quick search basis for specific sounds and as audio control for the true recreation of the original Minimoog sounds with the Minimax ASB.

A friend of mine, who is writing a book about male sexuality for women, asked me if I could be her go-to-guy for a bunch of questions she had about pleasuring a man which she wants to include in her book. I think it is only fair that you, my loyal audience, should get this information before anyone else does.
What would, in your esteemed opinion, be your five hot tips for giving a great hand job?
First, there are 10, not 5. Hand jobs are too important for just 5.
Most men love a good old-fashioned hand job. Here's the deal with a lot of us folks who own a dick. We first become acquainted with the pleasure our cock can offer through handling ourselves. And when it comes right down to it, there is rarely a mouth, pussy or ass that can compete with the variety of stroke and firmness of grip that a hand can provide. Simply stated, the humble hand job is the ideal way to pleasure your man. Just remember, even though jerkin off your guy isn't particularly exotic, as far as sex acts go, it never has to be boring for you or him.
1) I am of the mind that a brilliant wank begins with a first class lube. Many guys swear by silicone-based lubes for this purpose, but a hand job connoisseur will probably have his very own favorite. Start off with just enough lube to make things slick, you don't want to over do it. Get a feel for his johnson and what you have to work with. Skillfully draw back the skin of his rod toward the root of his dick till it is taut. This is much easier to do on uncut men, but even most cut men will have some skin left for move.
2) Tell your dude how much you like his meat. A hand job is a perfect time to marvel at the work of art before you. Feel free to uooh and ahhh a lot. Your man will get off on you admiring his unit. For, as we all know, a hard man is good to find. Can you wrap your fingers around the base of his unit and get a good grip there? If not, you'll want to consider a cockring for this purpose. if you use a cockring, you'll free up both your hands for what's to come.
3) Now that you got yourself a really nice boner goin', get between his legs. Take his cock between the palms of your hands, interlock your fingers and guide your hands up and down his shaft. Your thumbs should be on the underside of his dick, so that on each stroke up and down, you hit his frenulum with the pads of your thumb. Now with his cock still between your palms, rub your hands together, like if you were warming them. This will provide a great new sensation for your guy.
4) Hold his cock in one hand and with the well-lubed palm of your other hand, slowly move it in nice lazy circles all over his dickhead. This is a particularly delicate procedure, especially if your man is uncut. His dickhead will be super sensitive, now that he is fully aroused. And don't forget, if you are using a cockring, his pecker will be even more engorged than usual, making it hypersensitive. Be sure to ask for feedback on this move. If he finds this too uncomfortable, move on to something more pleasurable. Here's a tip: us men being who we are will, no doubt, already be giving you directions on what to do and how to do it down there. So all you have to do is follow his lead. Remember, he knows his way around his joint better than anyone.
5) Don't forget to service his nuts. Since a guy's jewels are less sensitive to touch than his dickhead, you can manhandle them a lot more. Squeeze and tug and even gently slap those babies to your heart's delight. While you are doing that, and with his dick flat against his belly, shimmy the heel of your hand up and down the underside of his cock. You see how you are incorporating different sensations and movements all at the same time? Keep this up and your man will be putty in your hands, no pun intended.
6) Interlace your fingers and make a tight passageway through the palms of your hands. Pump up and down his shaft this way. As you get to the top of his cock close the passageway even tighter. Then make him squeeze his way in as you slide back down to the bottom. Then with one hand rapidly following the other in only a downward stroke, make like a perpetual penetration tunnel. This will make his eyes roll back in his head in ecstasy.
(This might be a good time to incorporate other parts of your body besides your hands. Most men get off on a titty –fuck. Cozy his cock between your boobs and have him hump away. You can also use your feet in the same fashion. Lots of guys can really get off fuckin' a chick's (or dude's) feet.)
7) Now, back to the hand job. Rhythmically stroke only his rod. Watch as his dickhead swells and turns red or even purple. Once it's bright red, use your fingertips on the tip of his dick like you are turning a doorknob, first to the right, then to the left. Lightly at first, but slowly increase the pressure till he begs you to stop. Now you got him right where you want him.
8) Here's where things can get really interesting. When he's least expecting it, move one of your hands down past his nuts and taint. You know what a taint is, don't cha? That's the patch of skin between his balls and his asshole. It got its name from taint ass and taint balls, ya get it? Anyhow, once past his taint you'll find his rosebud. With a well-lubed finger massage his pucker. If this is virgin territory for your man, he's in for the thrill of his life. Continue to stroke both his cock and asshole. Don't be afraid to try and push your fingertip past his sphincter. If he lets you inside, you will have access to his prostate. But even if he doesn't, massaging the outside of his hole will bring him very close to an explosive conclusion.
9) If you're ready to finish him off, so to speak, pick up the pace of your stroke. He will be breathing heavily now and he'll look down over his chest at the miracle happening between his legs. Tell him to throw his legs in the air and spread them as far apart as possible. This will add considerably to the muscle tension that you've already built up. And a thunderous orgasm is all about muscle tension.
Now bring this puppy home. Lick his balls, finger his hole and beat his meat. Insist that he keeps his feet in he air and his legs splayed. Momentarily, he will begin to quake with building mini-orgasms. He will no doubt try to buck himself to conclusion, but don't let him. For the moment you're in charge down here, not him. Tease him one last time as he nears ejaculation. When he's almost there, suddenly stop what you're doing. This will, of course, drive him crazy. And don't resume your stroking till he begs for it.
It will probably only take a few more strokes before he gives up the spunk. Keep your face, or at least your eyes, out of the way, because when he finally blows it will be explosive. If you've toyed with him for any length of time, you will have built up quite a load and it will shoot in spurts till he is empty.
10) His cock will be hypersensitive after he cums, so be gentle.
1. "Male G-Spot" clarification — we've heard the prostate referred to as the "male G-spot," but we've also heard the frenulum given the same name. Which is it? Or is this term not appropriate for either one?
Male G-Spot more appropriately denotes the prostate, definitely not the frenulum. However, let's be grown up about this and skip the unnecessary comparison between the G-Spot and anything in the male anatomy. Because that's like saying a clit is a female penis. If we must use shorthand for the prostate, try P-Spot.
2. How should a woman go about finding and petting the prostate?
- First, trim your fingernails and file them smooth. And before you start playing with a man's hole have him relax.
- Take a relaxing shower, a warm bath, and/or try some deep breathing exercises will help him do that.
Have a ready supply of a water-based lube handy. Silicone-based lubes are swell for these exercises too. However, this type of lube isn't recommended for use with a condom.
- Start with a nice hand job. Stroke his dick with your lubed hand to get him into his happy place.
- Gradually slather some of that lube on to his balls and taint. While his legs are open find his hole and play with his rosebud. Gently massage the area around his asshole, but don't side your fingers in just yet. Simply let him get used to the feelings of playing at the opening of your ass.
- Let your play include the tip of your finger entering your ass.
If you do this while you're stroking his cock, you will find that his hole will actually open and invite your finger. That's the great thing about pleasuring one part of your body while learning to pleasure another.
- Once he's comfortable with your fingertip inside, try pushing it in further and move it around a little. Try pushing it and pulling it out of his ass. Ya know, like finger-fucking your man.
- About an inch or so inside your man's ass, move your finger in an upward motion along the wall of his rectum. You'll discover a round bulb of tissue the size of a walnut — this is his prostate.
- It shouldn't be hard to find, particularly if your man is all horned up. It will feel smooth and hard, like a flat stone.
- Give that puppy a nice gentle massage with your fingertip. If you're still stroking his wood, don't be surprised if this prostate massage gets him off. In fact, you will find that his prostate actually enlarges a bit and becomes more firm just as he is about to shoot.
- As he cums you will also notice that his sphincter muscle will tighten around your finger and pulsate with each squirt.
3. What's the best position to put the guy in to do this?
Your man should be on his back, while you face him between his open legs. This gives you access to cock, balls and asshole.
4. Should a girl be worried about hurting her lover while playing with his prostate?
If you go slow and are gentle, there's nothing to be concerned with. Don't forget to ask for feedback. And if you want to know what he is feeling, finger your hole first.
5. In your experience as a sex therapist, do you find that straight men are wary of letting their female partners explore anal play?
Oh yeah, big time! Straight guy have it in their head that ass play is gay. I always respond that would be true if only the gays had prostates.
6. If so, how would you advise a woman to address or overcome any homophobic paranoia her partner might have in regards to anal play?
This is a very delicate issue. The best a woman can do is invite him to experience the new sensations. Anything more than that can backfire. If she is too insistent, or tries to shame him into it, the guy's fears will quickly become a phobia.
7. In your experience, is male vulnerability a factor in anal play, and if so, is there anything a woman should do or say to psychologically care for her lover?
Oh yeah! Like I said above, ass play is often associated with gay sex. The best thing a woman can do is watch some hot butt sex porn with her man, where the dude is on the receiving end of things. These are called pegging vids. Then there are How To Videos like TRISTAN TAORMINO'S EXPERT GUIDE TO ANAL PLEASURE FOR MEN. Check out Dr Dick's How To Video Library for loads more titles.

The Bisons put a five game winning streak on the line in front of 4,215 people Saturday afternoon in the Memorial Center on the Campus of ETSU. Lipscomb trailed by fifteen at one point in the first half but battled back to take the lead in the second half. However, the home team would not back down. ETSU went on to win the game 81-78 and snap the Bisons five game winning streak.
"We didn't shoot the ball particularly well," said head coach Scott Sanderson. "You can't shoot thirty-two percent, especially on the road, and even have a chance to win."
Lipscomb fell to 13-14 on the year, 7-6 in the Atlantic Sun conference. ETSU improved to 15-11 overall, 9-4 in the A-Sun.
The majority of the first half belonged to the Buccaneers who jumped out on the Bisons and extended their lead out to 15 points at around the 5:23 mark of the first half. The Bisons came back with vengeance. Lipscomb closed the half on an 11-2 run to cut the half time deficit to 6.
Going into intermission, ETSU led Lipscomb 37-31. The Bucs shot 37.8 percent from the field in the first half and were 5-12 from behind the arc (41.7%). The Bisons were 10-28 from the field in the first half (35.7%). Lipscomb was 4-13 from behind the three point line (30.8%).
Lipscomb continued on their scoring streak coming out of the locker room to extend their first half run to a 23-4 overall run at the 16:03 mark of the second half and take a 45-41 lead over the Buccaneers. This would prove to be the Bisons largest lead of the second half.
ETSU battled back to take control, and the two teams traded baskets to keep it close going into the closing minutes of play. With one minute left in the game, ETSU led the Bisons 74-70. However, the Bisons would not give up as they continued to make shots and force the Buccaneers to execute at the free-throw line.
ETSU was effective at the free-throw line throughout the game. The Bucs connected on 21 of 33 attempts at the line including two free-throws with 2 seconds remaining in the game to make the score 81-78. The Bisons called a time out to set up a play but could not execute as time expired.
Four Bisons scored in double figures against ETSU. Freshmen Adnan Hodzic, Jimmy Oden, and Josh Slater combined for 43 points. Hodzic had 10 points, Oden finished with 15 points including 10-10 from the free-throw line, and Slater led the Bisons with a team high 18 points and 9 rebounds. Senior LaKory Daniels went 5-9 from the three point line in his 17 point scoring effort.
The Buccaneers had three players to reach double figures in scoring. Kenyona Swader finished with 18 points, Micah Williams contributed with 14 points, and Andrew Reed had a game high 23 point performance.
The Bisons fell to 13-14 on the year, 7-6 in the Atlantic Sun with Saturday's loss to ETSU. The Buccaneers improved to 15-11 overall, 9-4 in the A-Sun.
Lipscomb's next action comes next Friday night in the second round of the Battle of the Boulevard. The Bisons will take on Belmont in the Curb Center at 6:30 p.m. CST. Coverage of this game can be heard on 900 AM or seen on CSS. It will also be televised for Atlantic Sun Television subscribers.

Medium : Acrylic On Linen
For Sale : Contact Short St Gallery
Note : All artworks are subject to availability. Prices are inclusive of GST but do not include shipping and handling charges.
About Tjala tjukurpa - Honey Ant StoryMick is telling the story of the Tjala or Honey Ants which are found about a metre underground beneath Mulga trees. The Honey Ant tunnels that lead down to the ant's nests are called nyinantu. The Honey Ant larvae are called ipilyka-ipilyka. Honey Ants are a highly favoured food source. When the Pitjantjatjara go looking for Honey Ants they look for the drill holes under the trees. When they see them, they shovel and dig down, following the tunnels to find the Honey Ants inside. They suck the honey-like liquid from the abdomen of the Honey Ant. The story of the Honey Ant is told across the Northern Territory into South Australia. The Honey Ant is an important link between Anangu mythology and inter-dependence on the environment. The Honey Ant Ancestors are related to the country around Amata.

Walking Dead Digital Copy Free For Xbox 360 Gamers With Hitching Problems
Xbox 360 owners who have experienced freezing and stuttering problems with The Walking Dead will receive a free copy of the game's Xbox Live Arcade version, as developer Telltale games has determined that installing an Xbox 360 hard drive on a 4 GB system will fix the hitching.
If console owners decide against a hard drive, Telltale Games is providing a free copy of the five episode series available for XBLA. A claim redemption form has been posted by the developer, and owners of the game must mail or email the form, a proof of purchase of The Walking Dead and ownership of a 4 GB console. Once the required materials are received, gamers will be emailed codes to download the episodes.
Lack of a hard drive is not the only issue for The Walking Dead gamers. Problems regarding overwriting saved games and the subsequent loss of episodes occur with people who are playing offline. The solution, according to Telltale, is to play the game online or try using a separate offline account. With these bug issues, Telltale is encouraging gamers to use the company's support forum board and hopefully these problems will be solved in future patches.

The Seattle Seahawks announced the signing of former Atlanta Falcons tight end Michael Palmer just a day prior to the team reporting for the start of training camp.
Palmer spent his first three seasons in the league with the Falcons after going undrafted out of Clemson in 2010. Palmer appeared in 43 games with the Falcons and caught 21 passes for 123 yards and three touchdowns.
Palmer boosts the depth of the Seahawks' tight end position than has become somewhat thin following the loss of Anthony McCoy to an Achilles tear during OTAs. Behind starter Zach Miller, Sean McGrath is the only other player on the roster that had played in a regular season NFL game. Luke Willson was drafted in the fifth round in April to provide a down-field threat for Seattle but is still unproven.
Cooper Helfet spent time on the practice squad last season but Victor Marshall and Darren Fells are undrafted free agent signings. Fells has been a professional basketball player and has not played football since high school.
To make room for Palmer, the Seahawks released safety Ray Polk.

QNXZone Shuts Down
2007-08-12 QNX 43 Comments
A few years ago, I was an avid QNX user. I used the non-commercial desktop version of this wonderfully clean and elegant pure-microkernel operating system for a long period of time, as a desktop operating system. I liked the whole style of this operating system, its Photon user interface, and its excellent package management system. I even wrote a three-page article about it. Sadly, QSS, the company behind QNX, lost all interest in the non-commercial desktop version, and ditched it, leaving only a hard-to-find 30-day evaluation version alive. Community interest dwindled, and so did mine. Despite my lost interest, it saddened me today to learn that QNXZone.com, a community portal for QNX, has been shut down. Read on for a few short thoughts.

(You know what Mark Renshaw looks like, so how 'bout some bikini babe racer-chasers?)
To have punished Cavendish would have been just as unfair as the disgraceful riding of his teammate. Thus, the jury took the only decision it could, given the intent to send a strong message against further incidents of road rage - booting Renshaw from the race.
As Farrar wryly noted after the finish, before news of Renshaw's ejection began to circulate, what would have been the impact of declassifying Renshaw from 30th place to last place? There wouldn't have been an effect, of course, other than to reinforce official tolerance for such dishonorable behavior.
And so, in a rare show of strength and character, the race jury told Renshaw to sprint for the hills and get the hell out of the Tour de France!
Note: some commentators prematurely credited Cavendish with displaying a new-found maturity in accepting the punishment given to his pilot fish. But not so fast - Cav' clearly has not grown-up and is convinced that he is the peloton's most persecuted sprinter: "It's always us, isn't it? There were two guys fighting the other day. I can't really make a comment."

MediaTomb - Free UPnP MediaServer
- 1 Overview
- 2 Installation
- 3 Usage Options
- 4 Starting MediaTomb on Boot
- 5 Common Problems
MediaTomb is an open source (GPL) UPnP MediaServer with a nice web user interface, it allows you to stream your digital media through your home network and listen to/watch it on a variety of UPnP compatible devices.
MediaTomb implements the UPnP MediaServer V 1.0 specification that can be found on http://www.upnp.org/.
Currently Supported Features
- browse and playback your media via UPnP
- metadata extraction from mp3, ogg, flac, jpeg, etc. files.
- Exif thumbnail support
- user defined server layout based on extracted metadata (scriptable virtual containers)
- automatic directory rescans
- sophisticated web UI with a tree view of the database and the file system, allowing to add/remove/edit/browse your media
- support for external URLs (create links to internet content and serve them via UPnP to your renderer)
- support for ContentDirectoryService container updates
- Active Items (experimental feature), allows execution of server side scripts upon HTTP GET requests to certain items
- highly flexible configuration, allowing you to control the behavior of various features of the server
OpenLink (PowerPC)
- Install Ipkg on the Linkstation (for end-users) and enable the NSLU2 Feed: Ipkg Package List: PowerPC
- Install mediatomb with ipkg, which will also install the following dependancies: file, zlib, ossp-js, libexif, sqlite, readline, ncurses, id3lib, libstdc++
ipkg install mediatomb
- Run MediaTomb (as a daemon)
mediatomb -d
- Configure shares on web interface
go to http://linkstation:49152 to set up shares
OpenLink (MIPSEL)
once the linkstation is opened up and you have telnet access, go to:
and find the appropriate file for your linkstation under the static binaries area. For the linkstation 2 it is mediatomb-static-0.11.0-r2-linux-uclibc-mips2el.tar.gz.
at the command prompt on your linkstation go somewhere to store the file:
cd /mnt/hda/
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mediato...2el.tar.gz (or appropriate location)
tar -xvzf mediatomb-static-0.11.0-r2-linux-uclibc-mips2el.tar.gz
then simply type:
cd mediatomb
to start it up.
Although it's not a great idea to use Ipkg and apt on the same box Ipkg seems to keep most of it's files separate in /opt/bin. The above feed/method could only be used for a PowerPC linkstation.
There are instructions for installing mediatomb on Ubuntu linux but they are somewhat specific to ubuntu.
- this is my fast way to install:
apt-get install libnspr4-0d libmozjs0d wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mediatomb/mediatomb_0.10.0-1etch1_arm.deb dpkg -i mediatomb_0.10.0-1etch1_arm.deb
- alternative install method - adding the debian repository from MediaTomb Downloads:
- add
deb http://apt.mediatomb.cc/ etch main
to your /etc/apt/sources.list
- install the gpg key for this repository and then install mediatomb:
wget http://apt.mediatomb.cc/key.asc -O- -q | apt-key add - apt-get update apt-get install mediatomb
- after that run mediatomb
it starts server, in bottom of output you can see the internet address for remote control after first loading stop mediatomb by ctrl+c
it auto-creates config files on /root/.mediatomb/
- Add Playstation 3 DIVX streaming support:
nano /root/.mediatomb/config.xml
- under <server> add
<protocolInfo extend="yes"/>
- after <extension-mimetype ignore-unknown="no"> add
<map from="avi" to="video/divx"/>
restart mediatomb
on web admin add your shared folder (remove and repopulate database)
Compiling from source
- to be done, a number of dependancies would have to be resolved... Spidermonkey seems like to most difficult one
see http://mediatomb.cc/pages/documentation#id2458225
Usage Options
Usage: mediatomb [options]
Supported options: --ip or -i ip address --port or -p server port (the SDK only permits values => 49152) --config or -c configuration file to use --daemon or -d run server in background --pidfile or -P file to hold the process id --user or -u run server under specified username --group or -g run server under specified group --add or -a add the given file/directory --logfile or -l log to specified file --help or -h this help message
Starting MediaTomb on Boot
Getting MediaTomb to run in daemon mode can be a bit fiddly as it's not always clear where the configuration is being read from (this will often result in your media library and all settings being blown away!).
Auto Start for ipkg Installs
The current ipkg package provides an init script with some additional configuration. To enable automatic startup of the MediaTomb daemon edit /opt/etc/default/mediatomb and change the value of MT_ENABLE to true. After that start the daemon by issuing the following command:
/opt/etc/init.d/S90mediatomb start
In this configuration MediaTomb will listen on port 50500, this behavior can be changed by editing /opt/etc/mediatomb.conf and restarting the server which can by done by:
/opt/etc/init.d/S90mediatomb restart
The config.xml and the database of the daemon configuration will be created in /opt/etc/mediatomb after the first launch. If you encounter strange behavior or are not sure what is going on, have a look at the log output which will be located in /opt/var/log/mediatomb
Auto Start when compiled from source
The easiest way to get MediaTomb to start on boot is to create an init.d script; here's one I rolled earlier - all the configuration goes at the top.
#! /bin/sh # Mediatomb init.d script. # NAME=mediatomb DESC="MediaTomb DLNA Server" ###### START CONFIGURATION ###### # The Location of your MediaTomb binary. DAEMON=/usr/local/bin/mediatomb # The MediaTomb Home Directory that you want to use HOME=/home/jonny # The User that MediaTomb will run as. USER=jonny # The Group that MediaTomb will run under GROUP=users # The Process ID file which will be created. PID=/var/run/${NAME}.pid # Where the MediaTomb log file will be written LOG=/var/log/${NAME}.log ###### END CONFIGURATION ###### ARGS="--user ${USER} --group ${GROUP} --pidfile ${PID} --logfile=${LOG} \ --home ${HOME} --daemon" if ! [ -x ${DAEMON} ]; then exit 0 fi start() { start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile ${PID} --exec ${DAEMON} \ -- ${ARGS} } stop() { start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile ${PID} } case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting ${DESC}: " start echo "${NAME}." ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping ${DESC}: " stop echo "${NAME}." ;; restart) stop sleep 1 start ;; *) echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/${NAME} {start|stop|restart}" exit 1 ;; esac exit 0
Create this file in /etc/init.d/mediatomb and then make it executable via:
chmod +X /etc/init.d/mediatomb
Next you need to create a symlink in the appropriate rc.d folder which will cause this script to be executed as the system starts up:
ln -s /etc/init.d/mediatomb /etc/rc.d/rcS.d/S99mediatomb
The next time you start your system, MediaTomb should automagically wind up, if it doesn't the first place to look is the log file which should have been created over at:
Common Problems
MediaTomb fails to start with a -203 uPNP Error
If you are seeing the following in your log output:
2009-04-14 21:54:37 ERROR: main: upnp error -203 2009-04-14 21:54:37 ERROR: Could not bind to socket. 2009-04-14 21:54:37 INFO: Please check if another instance of MediaTomb or 2009-04-14 21:54:37 INFO: another application is running on the same port.
Then it's very likley that you have another uPNP server running on your machine; the most likely candidate is the PCCast daemon which is found on the OpenLink; you can stop it from starting up by modifying:

"Don't get bug bites all over his face," my wife Kara said as I took our son Evan out the door for an adventure.
"We'll be moving too fast for the bugs to catch us; right, buddy?" I said.
"Seriously, though. School pictures are on Monday at daycare. Don't bring him back with bug bites," Kara said.
I waited until the door shut behind us to roll my eyes.
"Ready for an adventure?" I asked Evan.
"Benture," he agreed. Kids are game for pretty much anything, because they have no idea what's going on.
As we started our hike, I forgot all about the bug spray in my backpack. Even if I'd remembered, I probably wouldn't have put any on Evan. Getting a few bug bites builds character, just like every other bad thing that happens to you. If you get introduced to someone with a lot of character, you've probably just met someone who's had a rotten life. Also, when I was 12, I got some bug spray on my rain jacket, and it melted the sleeve, so I worry that putting too much of that stuff on Evan, especially around his face, might turn him into The Joker.
About 15 minutes into the hike, I noticed a buzzing in the woods, the hum of a million tiny helicopters. I wanted to stop and dig out the bug spray, but with Evan comfortable on my back, I decided to just keep plowing ahead, like a cow swimming through piranha-infested waters.
Something about the wet weather this year has created insane swarms of radioactive mosquitoes. Regular mosquitoes are one thing, but these were X-Men mosquitoes, flying syringes, mutated to extract more blood than the Red Cross, without even giving us free pretzels afterwards.
By the time I got to a stopping point to put some bug spray on Evan, it was too late. You couldn't really tell that anything was awry when we got home, but the next morning, when Evan woke up, he looked like he had chicken pox. Somehow, the mosquitoes knew to zero in on his face, which had blazing red bumps taking up more surface area than Mike Tyson's tattoos.
"His school pictures are tomorrow!" Kara said as I slathered Cortaid on Evan's face.
"He's resilient. It'll look much better tomorrow," I said.
A few minutes later, as Kara showered, I lay on the floor playing blocks with Evan, contemplating what a terrible father I was.
"Push the wagon," Evan said as he pushed his plastic wagon around the corner, out of my line of sight.
I could hear him emptying his wagon by the front door.
"Don't leave your toys by the door, buddy," I said. Then I heard a WHAM! followed by much screaming.
By the time I rounded the corner, Evan had a goose egg on his forehead that made him look Cro-Magnon, with three small scrapes on his chin. It was the worst his face had looked in his entire life, possibly excluding his zeroeth birthday.
"What happened?" Kara asked, running down the stairs.
The truth was, I wasn't exactly sure. Evan's face had made contact with his wagon at high velocity, but the details weren't clear. He could have been riding the wagon like a skateboard for all I knew.
"I might skip applying for Father of the Year this year," I said after his crying had subsided.
In the end, Kara didn't have a thing to worry about. Evan might have been a little banged up after our weekend adventures, but those photography companies airbrush school pictures like they're going on the cover of Vogue. Besides, I'm pretty sure that if you looked in between all the bumps, scrapes and mosquito bites on Evan's face, you could see lots of brand-new character.

Watching this made me think "man you could swap Newsom for Fiona 12 years ago" so it wasn't completely out of PTAs wheelhouse.
Newsom also announced that her Divers video will premiere in theaters worldwide during the week leading up to the albums 10/23 release, as well as some UK locations on 10/27. Like the Sapokanikan video, it was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Explains a press release, The music video for Divers, the albums title track, was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, and shot in New York City at the studio of Kim Keever, whose artwork is used throughout the packaging of Divers, allowing Joanna to actually step inside one of Keevers surrealistic and stormy landscapes.

Among the busiest tourist spots in Texas, Port Aransas is a small city, but incredibly popular due to its excellent fishing and beaches. It's based on small Mustang Island, just off the Gulf Coast. Port Aransas can make the perfect location for a family holiday, but as it is also a popular destination for college students on spring break, you may want to check your dates before you book! A humid sub-tropical climate similar to South Florida is just one of the regions attractions, but the town's small size and the popularity of its beach means that hotel prices can be very high indeed. To get the most out of your stay in Port Aransas, consider instead renting a family friendly condo.
The beach at Port Aransas is one of its main draws, and you will probably spend at least a few days here, especially as you're allowed to drive cars and even park (if you have a permit) on the 18 miles of beach! Along with sunbathing and reading a good book, the beach provides opportunities for a wide range of water sports, such as water skiing, parasailing, surfing and windsurfing. You can also perfect your swing while the kids are swimming by trying out the course at the Newport Dunes Golf Club. It's a challenging course, and the views are truly spectacular out over the sea. But in addition to these predictable holiday pursuits, the authorities have also been aiming to build the city's tourism revenues by promoting eco-tourism, so there are also a great many bird hides, kayak paddling trails and there is also a large nature reserve under construction which will soon provide opportunities for hiking and wildlife spotting.
The cost of condo rental in Port Aransas varies drastically, so be prepared to shop around. It's certainly possible to get a lovely condo with a view of the sea which will sleep a family of four or more for less than £600 for a full week, but you may need to investigate times other than the peak seasons (between October and March are probably the best value times to visit). The facilities are worth every penny, however, with tennis courts, swimming pools, and even fishing piers among just some of the available features. Whether you are going to the Gulf Coast just to visit Port Aransas, or whether you are making your stay part of a longer trip to Texas, holiday rentals will make you feel at home and help you relax and enjoy your holiday.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Following more than a two-week break from competition, the UC Santa Barbara men's tennis team showed a bit of rust Sunday and fell 5-2 to Georgia State at the Recreation Center Courts.
The Gauchos - who entered the non-conference dual match tied for 75th in the national rankings - fell to 5-6 overall, losing for the first time in six home contests this season. With their win, the Panthers improved to 5-4 on the year.
GSU set the tone in doubles play, winning at the No. 2 and 3 spots. Santa Barbara prevailed on court one with the team of Scott Hohenstein and Carsten Thorstensen notching an 8-5 victory.
Thorstensen was the lone Gaucho to notch victories in both singles and doubles, prevailing 7-6, 6-2 on court two. Meanwhile UCSB sophomore Anders Dalskov also emerged victorious, capturing a 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 decision at No. 3.
However with usual No. 1 singles player Nick Brotman out of action, Santa Barbara was forced to shuffle its lineup and the visitors took advantage. Georgia State junior Martin Stiegwardt triumphed 6-2, 6-4 at the top spot, while his teammate Nejc Podkrajsek did the same at No. 2 by a 7-6, 6-4 score. The Panthers also notched wins at the No. 5 and 6 singles positions.
The Gauchos return to action on Wednesday, March 8, traveling to San Luis Obispo, Calif., to face Big West Conference rival Cal Poly at 1:30 p.m.

Redbridge Fairness Commission - Building Stronger Communities
Tuesday 21 July 2015
Start: 18:00
Finish: 21:30
The Redbridge Fairness Commission has been set up to investigate poverty and inequality in Redbridge and look at how the Council and its partners are taking action to address it. The Commission will seek to understand how austerity has affected the lives of local people and engage with a wide range of local community groups to identify priorities for making Redbridge fairer.
In its final report due to be published in November 2015, the Commission will make recommendations to be taken forward by the Council and its partners to make Redbridge a fairer and more equitable place to live.
Inequalities and lack of opportunities can affect people in negative ways across the whole of their lives. Research shows that at school, children from more affluent families will overtake children from poorer families by the age of seven. Precarious and low paid employment has deep impacts on a working adult's physical and mental health while isolation and loneliness can increase the risk of stroke and heart attack among the elderly. At a time of severe financial challenges it is important that the Council takes a leading role in making sure that resources are being used as effectively as possible to support local communities.
The Redbridge Fairness Commission will examine different aspects of life in the Borough and ask how local public, private and third sectors can contribute to ensuring that everyone has access to the opportunities they need to meet their aspirations.
How will the Fairness Commission work?
The Commission will run a series of public meetings across a number of themes. It will invite a range of local expert and community witnesses to contribute evidence and carry out a variety of engagement activities with community groups across the Borough. This evidence base will help to build a picture of local inequalities in Redbridge so that Commissioners can decide how the Council and its partners should take action.
Residents and local organisations will be able to make their views heard about what fairness really means to them by contributing to the Call for Evidence and participating in a series of open meetings that will take place across the Borough, as described below.
How can you get involved?
- If you want to share your views with the Fairness Commission on how to make Redbridge fairer, you can do so by completing our Call for Evidence form here.
- You can also email the Commission at email@example.com.
A summary of all submissions about the themes being discussed by the Commission will be presented in the relevant meeting.
If you want your submission to be considered in this way, please submit your views a week before the advertised date of the meeting you have an interest in. However, you can submit your views on any theme at any time during the process and all contributions received will form part of the Commission's evidence base and will help shape its recommendations and final report.
Public meetings
The Commission will be organising a series of public meetings across Redbridge where you will be able to meet with Commissioners and discuss the key issues being considered. More details will be announced shortly, so please check back to this page.
