This is a RAD body mist. It smells like a delicious, juicy orange and only costs 12 dollars. The staying power is pretty average (lasts a couple of hours), but the bottle is sturdy enough to throw in your bag to use throughout the day.

I picked this up at Ulta....and wow! I always wanted an orange perfume that smells like fresh cut oranges. No other perfumey scents mixed in. PURE ORANGE!!! The bottle is beautiful and small, I like the packaging/price as much as the product. It lasts a few hours. I spray it on my neck and hair. Everybody comments on it. Will be buying again!

The people I worked with always would ask "what is that yummy smell?" To me it smelled like those delicious little clementine oranges from Morocco that hit the stores around Christmas time. I still like this fragrance especially during hot summer days. I wish the fragrance lasted longer on me.

I love the smell, it's delicious. I know a body mist isn't going to be very long lasting, but this has no staying power. I can't justify buying it again because of that. I will try the body butter, it sounds like the fragrance from that sticks around longer

I bought this to pair with the satsuma body butter from The Body Shop, which is my holy grail product for life. The body spray smells a little bit different than the body butter, not quite as sweet and nectar-licious, but it does smell of satsuma oranges and is very pretty. The fragrance is light and I wish it had more staying power. It fades quickly.
HOWEVER, I will repurchase anything in this fragrance no matter what, forever, for the rest of my life. It is my favorite scent for life, and I've loved it for many years. So yes, I will repurchase. I took one lippie off for overall rating simply due to staying power of fragrance, and one for pricing, because most of The Body Shop items are a bit overpriced. They are all delectable and mostly worth it though so that won't stop me from re-purchasing these items.
Very much in love with Body Shop Satsuma. I want my home to smell like this, my car, my everything. It's such an uplifting, pretty, not-too-sweet, delicious fragrance. And like I said in one of my other reviews, I get a lot of compliments on this fragrance. It is not cloying and has never made me feel nauseated after wearing it for too long. I can wear this daily and never get sick of it, ever.
Props to The Body Shop for this one!!!! ♥

All products in the satsuma range smell so uplifting and delicious, and this one is no exception. Its just unapologetic and liner citrus, the exact same fragrance of an orange or tangerine. The staying power is pretty weak since its just a mist, however it could be layered with other products from the same range to boost the longevity. I especially like to use it when I have to stay up at night to study for an exam or something, the scent is really refreshing and helps me focus. Also, I love the combination of satsuma and vanilla (also the mist from TBS), together they smell like orange creamsicle, delicious!

My first experience with this scent was years ago during christmas. My godmother gifted this to me. Needless to say, the scent has stayed in my mind so I purchased this along with the Satsuma Body Butter.
The scent in itself is wonderful. I imagine myself meandering through my backyard as a child, amid the fresh scent of the blossoming flowers and dew-covered fruit. And spraying this in the mornings while getting ready after moisturizing with the body butter just brings me to a happy place.
My one qualm is that the scent is not very long-lasting on its own. As the review below said, it last about 4 hours. However, when its layered over the butter, it really prolongs the longevity.
The packaging is very nice compared to other companies that use plastic spray bottles, it adds a sort of weight that makes it feel sort of fancy and expensive. (i got it on sale, luckily!)But this might be a problem as glass breaks, but really, who goes banging their bags like a maniac? I definitely recommend this scent.

Hi there!
Just installed your WordPress Slider Plugin and it's exactly what I'm looking for, yet when I create a new slider and add the shortcode, I get the same think white line as the thread below:
What this ever resolved?
You can see it here in Chrome, Firefox & Safari: http://mrta.alicographics.com/explore-manitoba-trails/crow-wing-trail/
Thanks!February 12, 2013 at 3:09 am #1132
Hi Tracey,
Please use this PHP function muneeb_ssp_slider_fixes() in your theme functions.php file it might solve the problem.
MuneebFebruary 12, 2013 at 8:42 pm #1135
I have the same problem. I paste the following code at the end of the functions.php file and it doesn't work.
if ( function_exists( 'muneeb_ssp_slider_fixes' ) )
Is there is anything that I am doing wrong, or I miss a step?February 13, 2013 at 6:16 am #1136
The problem on your site is the JS errors please remove those errors and my plugin will start working. I'm also posting here the JS errors on your site this might help you.Vim12345Uncaught TypeError: Property '$' of object [object Window] is not a function touchTouch.jquery.js:13Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://www.adrianasantacruz.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/image-gallery-with-slideshow/shadowbox.cssUncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'tooltip' custom.js:86Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'superfish' jquery.min.js:16Uncaught TypeError: Property 'undefined' of object #<Object> is not a function jquery.easing.1.3.js:46February 16, 2013 at 5:22 am #1140
Hi Muneeb,
I checked the inspect element tool in Chrome, and I also added the fucntion:
if ( function_exists( 'muneeb_ssp_slider_fixes' ) )
to my fucntions.php file but nothing seemed to work.
I then tried another plugin called Orbit (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-orbit-slider/faq/), inserted the shortcode into my page and your slider showed up! I like the look of your slider more so I'm wondering how I can fix this. As soon as I delete the Orbit slider, yours deletes too.
You can see what this looks like here: http://mrta.alicographics.com/explore-manitoba-trails/crow-wing-trail/
I'm not much of a developer, but a designer, so I'm not experienced at editing code. Will I need to hire a developer to do this for me?

Hi Tracey,
I just sent you an email with the fix please check that email.March 11, 2013 at 3:45 pm #1213

Hiya Alphonso,
I can't find my plugin's slider on your site, Can you please re-check it and add it on the page.March 13, 2013 at 4:16 pm #1226
Hey guys,
Thanks for developing this awesome slider Muneeb. It looks really great and I can't wait to use it. However, I'm running into the same problems as posted above. It might be a theme issue, but I can't seem to locate the problem. I've added the fixes-function to functions.php but the white line remains.
What could be going wrong? Is it a jquery issue with my theme perhaps?
this is the website: en.showraum.de
MarijnMarch 14, 2013 at 7:06 am #1234
Just want to say first that the slider on your look very beautiful I found out the cause and yes it's a theme issue. The issue is your theme or some other plugin is loading the old version of jquery( version 1.4.2) through google and my plugin does not work with that old version of jquery so to make my plugin work on your site you need to modify your theme to load recent version of jquery.March 25, 2013 at 5:07 am #1330
Justin McWhirter
I apologize for the above, that was meant for a different forum.
I am having this basic issue where it isn't showing the content. In my case, I'm trying to use the HTML and it doesn't show the content. In looking at the code, to me it looks like it's still trying to load it as image slides. I tried using image slides and they work.
I wonder if the last update wasn't loaded into WP correctly, as in the change log it says you fixed the issue where the editor doesn't show up when you switch from image to html, and mine still has that 'issue.' Once the slide is closed and opened again, you see the editor.March 25, 2013 at 10:21 am #1332
No problem I deleted that post, I re-tested and I can see the editor but it's just text area where you can paste the HTML code and then when you'll save the slider you'll get WSIWYG visual editor it's programmed to function like this.
In the free version the default skin does not support HTML slide types only image slide types are supported so to use HTML in the slides please purchase the premium version of the plugin it has an HTML skin.
Thank You

Hi, I'm using localhost to set up my site. Not sure how to show you what's happening. But basically is showing the thin white line.
- I've uploaded the images,
- added: // declare slider
if ( function_exists( 'muneeb_ssp_slider_fixes' ) )
muneeb_ssp_slider_fixes(); to funcitons.php file
- On my home page I've used:
My jquery is 1.7
I am using ACF plugin
Is there something else I could do to try and make it show?
Any help appreciated.

Vienna (Vienne)Q26849
Vienna (modern Vienne): Roman city in Gallia Narbonensis.
In 61 BCE, the Allobroges, led by a man named Catugnatus, revolted and the inhabitants of Vienna expelled the Roman living in their city; the exiles founded Lugdunum (modern Lyon) and did not return when order was for the second time restored.
Three years later, Julius Caesar decided to pacify the area for good, which eventually led to the conquest of all of Gaul. Vienne remained an important town (its territory stretched towards Geneva) but Lugdunum became the more important city. Animosity between the two towns continued for more than a century. In 69 CE, the populace of Lyon asked the emperor Vitellius to destroy Vienne, which fortunately did not happen.The emperor Augustus gave Vienna, which had by now become the capital of the increasingly romanized Allobroges, the rank of colonia. This meant that the inhabitants were from now on all Roman citizens. It could also serve as new home for exiles, like the Judaean king Herod Archelaus (6 CE). In 35 CE, the first man from Vienna, Decimus Valerius Asiaticus, reached the consulship.
As a colonia, the city was now called Colonia Julia Augusta Florentia Viennensium. As was customary, the grateful new Romans dedicated a shrine to the emperor, the temple of the divus Augustus et diva Roma, "the divine Augustus and the goddess Roma". (The temple was also called Temple of Augustus and Livia.) In Claudius' speech on civil rights for the Gauls, the city is called "beautifully decorated and powerful", and the poet Martial says the same in one of his epigrams.note[Martial, Epigrams 7.87: pulchra Vienna.]
The city's wall tell something about its fate. The Roman town originally had a wall with a length of seven kilometers, but in the third century, the town contracted and a new wall was built, only two kilomters long. These withstood the raids of the Germanic tribe of the Alamans.
In the early fourth century, when the emperors Diocletian and Maximian created smaller provinces, Vienna became capital of the province of Viennensis. Only Trier was in fourth-century Gaul more important, and even in its contracted size, Vienna remained a city of great renown and cultural influence. In the fifth century, its comparative prosperity attracted the Burgundians, who settled in this area after their capital Worms had in 435 been sacked by Aetius and the Huns.There are several ancient monuments in modern Vienne, like the theater, the Temple of Augustus, and the "Garden of Cybele", where the mysteries of this goddess where performed. Another monument is known as "la pyramide" and was once an element of the hippodrome of Vienna. According to a local story, this monument was the tomb of Pontius Pilate, who was believed to have been sent into exile to Gaul. Of course this is a nothing but a pious legend, but the the confusion with HErod Archelaus is understandable.
Vienna used to have a very long wall, more than seven kilometers long. In the third century, a second wall of two kilometers long was erected.

One of James' contributions to the art of fiction is in his use of point-of-view. Point-of-view means the angle from which the story is told. For example, previous to James' novels, much of the fiction of the day was being written from the author's viewpoint — that is, the author was telling the story and he was directing the reader's response to the story. Much of the fiction of the nineteenth century had the author as the storyteller, and the author would create scenes in which certain characters would be involved, but all of the scenes would not necessarily have the same characters in them.
James' fiction differs in his treatment of point-of-view. He was interested in establishing a central person about whom the story revolved, or else a central person who could observe and report the action. Usually, the reader would have to see all the action of the story through this character's eyes. Thus, while the central character in Daisy Miller is Daisy herself, we see her through the eyes of the "central intelligence," that is, through the eyes of Winterborne. Sometimes the central character will also be the central intelligence, as happens in The Turn of the Screw. In James' fiction we respond to events as the "central intelligence" would respond to them.
Furthermore, every scene in a James work has the central character present or else is a scene in which some aspect of the central character is being discussed by the central intelligence. So if Daisy is not present, the discussion is about some aspect of Daisy's character.

Hello. My name is Marni Weaver – Welcome to Haberdashery Fun. I am a self proclaimed sewing nerd. I love anything to do with zippers, binding, buttons, thread, the list goes on… I get all gooey from the thought of a fabric store or figuring out how something was designed and sewn together.
I was a sewing late bloomer. I resisted all my Mom's attempts to teach me how to sew and wanted nothing to do with anything "homemade". It was while studying abroad in Uppsala, Sweden that I became enamored with the world of design. I came home from my travels, learned how to sew and went on to get a second degree in fashion design. After graduation, I packed up a U-Haul and moved from Toronto to New York. My first summer I interned at Zac Posen. I fondly call it the fashion trenches. From there I went on to technical design in apparel and then on to footwear and product development.
I transitioned from design to the business side and am now in footwear sales. I manage and travel a large territory for my job. I travel alot! I'm inspired by the people I meet in airports, by my messy suitcase, ugly hotel rooms and packing the wrong stuff all the time.
Why the name HaberdasheryFun? I was lucky enough to study abroad for a second time at the University of Westminster in London, England. I had a lot of spare time..I used to wander the city and loved browsing in the fabric and trim shops. While I was there I fell in love with the word "Haberdashery" and knew one day I would use this lovely word in conjunction with my work.
My husband and I moved to Florida a five years ago. I actually wondered if I could still be creative if I didn't live in New York City… So shortly after we moved, I launched my blog as a place to share inspiration and my sewing tutorials. I have ideas that just pop into my head and keep me up at night. My blog has become a wonderful sewing journal. I love sewing and working with a mixture of materials – fabric, webbing, zippers, velcro, clear vinyl, fabric paint, freezer paper and even glue! I guess you could say my moto is "Sew The Unexpected".
I am a Mom to a very active toddler. After the birth of my son, I became inspired by everything BABY, although I never thought I would ever want to sew baby items… But my brain seems to be baby and toddler focused these days. I am constantly thinking of items to make for our son and also give as gifts.
In addition to my blog, you can find me writing simple sewing tutorials for Momtastic and over at Hello, Wonderful. Jump on over to my sponsor page for additional brand information.

Lagos — The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) says the recent presidential pardon granted former governor of Balyesa State Diepriye Alamieyeseigha and others is an invitation to politicians in the country to engage in dirty politics.
The pressure group said such development would make the political terrain more violent and dangerous than it already is. A statement signed by union's President and General Secretary Comrade Peter Esele and Mohammed Musa also said the pardon was granted to divert attention from its actual target, Alamieyeseigha.
"This singular decision by the National Council of State has taken the nation several steps backward and made Nigeria a laughing stock just a few years after the comity of nations and international investors had begun to take us seriously", it said.

Mining 31,500,000 Free Links For The Take
Majestic SEO kindly reached out to us, correcting Yahoo's link data and showing off their own impressive backlink data power at the same time: the true number of backlinks to GeoCities is over 850 million.
Today, Yahoo closed GeoCities. A little bit of history, a little of culture disappeared <sniff>
And this is yet another event where SEO's separate themselves from normal people show their true, professional nature.
Where others see the web decreased by 7.5million web pages and 8 million images, we see…
31,500,000 850,000,000 Free Links
GeoCities started in 1995. That's when Microsoft released Windows '95 including this thing called Internet Explorer. Netscape was just 1 year old. In Internet
GeoCities is
56 yearsThe world was different, simpler almost. Except for publishing web sites that is.
In other words, GeoCities is ancient. In Internet years, GeoCities is 56 years.
In that time the millions of web sites and web pages hosted on GeoCities have acquired a shitload staggering amount of links. Over
31 million 850 million in fact.
Those links lead led to pages about just about everything and anything. People talked about their families and pets on GeoCities but also build resources about the Mic'maq, CGI freebies, or coffee. That and about a million other topics.
31,500,000 850 MILLION Free Links
Use Yahoo's linkdomain operator to find links pointing to Geocities. Add the keyword or topic you're targeting. This combination finds pages that and link to Geocities and have your keyword on their page.
politely contact the site ownerWhen you find a prospect, politely contact the site owner to point out that Yahoo has closed GeoCities but that you may have an alternative resource available for them to link to.
Melanie Nathan has some excellent tips on how to approach site owners in Link Request Strategies for Blogs, Edu's & .Gov's: Respect My Authoritah!
It's a Wrap
- Yahoo takes Geocities offline
- …but thousands of links are still pointing to it
- …search the ones relevant to you
- …and suggest to repair their broken link by replacing it with yours

Yes indeedy you can smell the link juice in the air! Some of it with the foul odour of fried spam and burnt copyright and trademeark laws… also some very good reference and resources but the SE's didn't stop indexing large portions off it for nothing around 97 before Yahoo! bought it if memory serves correct.
Great post… Just hearing the name 'Geocities' makes me all nostalgic! The internet had a certain magic in the mid-late nineties… I remember actively looking for sites to link to in those days! Anyone for Web Rings? lol!
And just thinking about how many of those are possibly edu & gov links, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy
I suspect that most people will be too lazy to put in the work of doing the research and contacting each site though. That's good. Their loss = our gain.
I like this , it could actually come in handy.
thank you
interesting, so we can ask politely the webmaster whose page linked to old geocities page and replace the links with ours.. sounds yummiee..
A lot more than that – 850,697,046 external backlinks from 916,529 referring domains!
A very useful approach to acquiring some new links.
Thanks for sharing,
This is very interesting indeed. I suspect it will be a numbers game. Chances are, many of these sites still pointing to Geocites aren't updated much and getting a hold of these webmasters might prove challenging. You will also have to find unsuspecting webmasters who don't see links as commodities. Still worth it if sending 50 emails yields 1 good link.
[…] Geocities ist tod – holt euch die Links! – die Domain wär auch nett… […]
There is even a better way of getting those links. Go to the Google cache or archive.org then download the actual content, place it on your webspace as a mirror and then ask for the link.
What a brilliant idea. I was going to contact local clubs etc. and see if they wanted a new website, but this seems like more fun and may even pay more in the long run.

Meaning of: Ezekiel saw da wheel
You responded to a query of mine on Choralist regarding "Ezekiel Saw de Wheel," specifically the meaning behind the text. Apparently, Ezekiel saw a vision of wheels turning in the air, which he took to somehow symbolize the glory of God. One reply suggested that Ezekiel had ingested mind-altering substances, while several others said that this was the earlist known evidence of UFO's.
Anyway, the pertinent parts of the Bible for reference are:
Ezekiel 1:15-22
Ezekiel 10:9-19
Take care,

I'm no expert on African-American spirituals, but I believe there is a thought that the text of Ezekiel saw da wheel was a coded message for slaves wanting to travel on the underground railroad. Just as "wade in the water" was advising escaping slaves to wade in the water to avoid being tracked by dogs, many spirituals have such messages imbedded in the texts.
Hello from Canada! I am doing an arrangement right now of this piece and below is what a student and I have found on its meaning, referring to our Bibles and also The Bible as Literature: The Old Testament and the Apocrypha by Buckner B. Trawick.
This story of Ezekiel and his vision from God appears in the Bible, the book of Ezekiel, Chapter One. I encourage you to read it for yourselves.
The vision was God's way of calling of Ezekiel to go and prophesy to the rebellious people of Judah. He must warn them that unless they repent of their wickedness and reform, they will die. (You have to read the rest of the book to find out what happened!)
What Ezekiel saw was 4 living things (my text called them "cherubs") that looked like human beings, coming from a cloud. "They each had 4 faces and 2 pairs of wings. Their legs were straight like human legs but their feet were split like calves' feet and shone like bronze. The living beings could turn in the air."
The four faces that each being had were that of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle. The lion, ox and eagle are frequent symbols of deities in ancient religions of the Middle East. (Compare to the creatures described in Revelations 4:7).
The four wings that each cherub had made a sound "like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty".
Above the cherubim was a "terrible crystal" firmament (sky/platform/expanse), and above that, a sapphire throne on which sat Yahweh (God) himself, encircled in fiery brightness.
God gave Ezekiel a scroll symbolizing God's judgment and told him to eat it. Ezekiel found that it tasted as sweet as honey, symbolizing that it is sweet to yield to the will of God. (John had a similar experience in Revelation 10:8-11.)
As Ezekiel looked beneath the beings he saw 4 wheels on the ground beneath them, one wheel belonging to each. "The rims of the 4 wheels were awesomely tall, and they were covered with eyes all around the edges. When the 4 living beings moved, the wheels moved with them. When they flew upward, the wheels went up too. The spirit of the 4 living beings was in the wheels. So wherever the spirit went the wheels and the living beings went, too. When the living beings moved, the wheels moved. When they stopped the wheels stopped."
Each wheel had a smaller wheel inside of it ("'tis a wheel in a wheel") and while I couldn't find anything on their symbolism, we can refer back to the song, which says that one of the wheels moved by faith, and the other by the grace of God.
Hope this is of help to others!

Thank you, Carolyn Gwyer, I'm writing a play about my hometown of New Orleans, called Excavating Katrina. The maid our family had when I was little used to sing this song in the house I grew up in. In the play she starts off the dream sequence (sort of a night vision- which is most of the play) singing this song. I looked on line to find out its meaning and have found your research very helpful and insightful.
The idea of 'code songs' for the underground railroad seems to be a myth. I can't see how slaves would be dumb enough to make their plans obvious, or plantation owners failing to notice that certain songs coincide with their slaves making a run for it.

Why Romney Won't Pick Condi
The Hill's Christian Heinze smacks down speculation that Condoleezza Rice might get tapped as Mitt Romney's running mate. Heinze offers one simple yet convincing explanation—Rice is pro-choice, an intolerable stance among the GOP base. It would be difficult for any Republican to convince the party of a pro-choice VP, but it's a particularly acute challenge for Romney, a former moderate who has devoted himself to selling conservatives that he is in actuality one of them to only middling success.
Romney has spent the last six years trying to convince social conservatives that he's really, truly, actually, and honestly pro-life. Why would he destroy all of that by picking Condi? And make no mistake about it, all of that would be destroyed within ten minutes of announcing the pick.
And think about this. If John McCain opted out of picking the pro-choice Joe Lieberman because it would inspire full-scale revolt with the base, do you really think Romney would dare?
I think there is a far simpler and equally convincing explanation for why Romney will avoid selecting Condi. As I've explained previously, Romney's VP options are roughly divided into two camps: politicians from the first decade of the 2000s with the experience to be strong governing partners, or exciting newbies from the class of 2010 who will capture the zeitgeist of media attention. The latter class might draw attention, but since they're largely unvetted they carry risks that safe-guy Romney would rather avoid. However the first group carries their own baggage with direct ties to the George W. Bush era, a time that Romney and the Republican Party writ large have tried their best to wipe from the electorate's collective memory.
Few VP options are as directly associated with the Bush administration than Rice. Rob Portman and Mitch Daniels may have both overseen the Office of Management and Budget, but neither entered the popular conscience as major figures of the Bush era, while both have gone on to win elected office that will be listed as their primary qualification. Rice, however, has no claim to fame outside of her experience serving with Bush, first as a National Security Advisor, later as Secretary of State. She was one of the few individuals to stand by Bush's side for the duration of both terms. Romney's behind the scenes team is a complete revival of the Bush years, with policy proposals that take the goals of the 43rd president to the extreme. Yet Romney has done everything he can to distance himself from Dubya, seeking H.W.'s endorsement but ignoring Bush the younger, while pinning all of the country's economic woes on Obama by conveniently ignoring the recession start date during Bush's last year in office. Adding Rice to the ticket would allow the Obama campaign to run a referendum campaign against the president's still unpopular predecessor.
Tue, 2012-05-01 22:54
Rice had nothing to do with GW's economic policies, so I don't see that as a huge handicap. In terms of military policy, I think she could explain both the shift in GW's positions from term 1 to term 2 to the end of his presidency as a long arc, ending not too far from where the current President sits. She can describe how events (and Congress) can get out of control. For example, GW's position at the end of his eight years was that the prison at Guantanamo Bay be closed. How's that working out for Obama?
Her being "mildly pr-choice"? That's the real deal breaker. Were Romney solid on that issue it might be something he could get away with, but he's not. It's a sideshow issue, demagogued into center stage by charlatans and opportunists, but that's where the Republican Party presently stands.

In Austin, fabulous shows, parties, festivals, tournaments, concerts, and games happen at the drop of a hat. Sometimes, these ever-so-life-changing events cost a pretty penny, and unfortunately if your pocketbook is empty, your weekend might look like an empty billfold, too. However, this weekend have a ball and satisfy your cheapskate heart. If you don't want to drop a dime, here are the top 10 free things to do in Austin:
1. Let nature inspire you at Mount Bonnell. This overlook is seriously the bee's knees. Located on 3800 Mt. Bonnell Drive, this covert looking place has one of the best views in Austin. Hike up those 104 steps (yes, I counted), set up a picnic basket, and you're set for a relaxing, fun Saturday with your friends.
2. Get your creepy crawly on at Zoo Keeper Exotic Pets store. Tickets to the zoo are expensive. Hit up this pet store on the corner of Highway 183 and Burnet Road and get all of the perks of the zoo in a one-stop, one-store trip. Besides, the employees are awesome and friendly, and you can hold almost anything if you ask. Who knows? You might find a future apartment companion among the reptiles and amphibians.
Interact with the critters of your dreams at Zoo Keeper Exotic Pets.

3. Sit back and relax at Mozart's Coffee on the lake. This coffee shop is the perfect place to study and enjoy Lake Austin. Right off of the corner of Enfield Road and Lake Austin Boulevard, this coffee shop offers a deck on the lake for its customers and visitors (and a perfect view of the Austin sunset). (Technically, you're supposed to buy something, we're sure. But..whatever.)
4. Frolic in Zilker Park. Want a day in the sun? Need some Vitamin D? Chillax on the huge lawns in Zilker Park. Not only will the fresh air stimulate your brain, but your cute sensors will jump into overdrive with the plethora of adorable dogs and their people.
5. Dip in the Barton Springs Swimming Pool. This dammed body of water is the perfect place to splash and play with your friends--and at certain times of the day (early in the morning and late at night), you can do it fo' free.
Cool off in the Barton Springs swimming pool.

 6. Movie prices are too damn high! Get the whole popcorn-and-a-movie experience at Republic Square Movies in the Park. Set up a lawn chair and watch a free movie in the comfort of a public park. Plus, the park shows plenty of America's all-time favorites (like Jurassic Park) and some independent documentaries.
7. Get batty with Austin's favorite group of bats. From March to early November, bats fly out from under the South Congress Bridge at dusk almost every night. Participate in this spectacle and save your cash flow.
Class got you batty? Take a breather and watch some winged mammals take flight.

8. Yeah, tuition is crazy, but UT actually offers a bunch of fun stuff for free. Wait… What? Yeah, that's actually right. If you're a student (or faculty/staff member), you can get into the Blanton Museum of Art and the Texas Memorial Museum without paying a nickel. You'd be surprised; Blanton exhibits some crazy cool art, and Texas Memorial has some fossil finds you just might dig (pun intended).
9. Take a hike on the Town Lake Hike-and-Bike Trail. Don your sneakers and hit the trail. Some oxygen and exercise will do you some good.
10. Check Austin 360. There are so many festivals and free concerts every weekend, and Austin 360 (powered by the Austin Statesman) compiles them all in one place. Check 'em out and have that ultimate weekend you've been dreaming of.

Utuseb — The Topnaar community will soon receive a bigger and better health facility after the Namibia Ports Authority (Namport) entered a partnership with the Ministry of Health and Social Services to upgrade the clinic of the community.
Close to 800 Topnaars have been served from a tiny one-room clinic that was built in 2005 at Utuseb. Patients are served by two qualified nurses who operate on a rotational basis.
During a recent visit to Utuseb, the Topnaar community said the clinic can only accommodate a nurse and one patient at a time.
"The clinic also does have a waiting area and sometimes sick patients have to endure the hot and windy conditions of the Namib desert on busy days," one of the nurses told New Era last week.
The nurse further explained that patients do not have privacy at all. A pensioner told this newspaper that they are forced to travel to Walvis Bay to see a doctor since no there is no doctor at Utuseb.
"We sometimes have to pay N$100 just to travel to Walvis Bay to see a doctor," she said, adding that sometimes patients have to wait for days on end before they can get a lift to Walvis Bay.
"If a disaster strikes here one can only imagine what will happen while we are waiting for an ambulance to arrive from Walvis Bay," said the pensioner.
When approached for reaction, the traditional leader of the Topnaar, Chief Kooitjie, told New Era that they are aware of the issues raised by the residents of Utuseb and that they are in the process of addressing them.
"The traditional authority has already availed land to the Ministry of Health and Social Services for the extension of the clinic, which will definitely iron out all issues once completed," chief Kooitjie said.
Kooitjie could however not say how much the construction would cost, but said locals will be employed during the extension of the clinic.

Chris Christie, Scott Walker to watch Giants-Packers
The New York Giants and Green Bay Packers will have two high-profile fans — and potential 2016 rivals — on hand together at Sunday's game in New Jersey.
"Looking forward to watching the @Packers game with my friend @ChrisChristie. #GoPackGo #GBvsNYG" tweeted Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Sunday morning.Continue Reading
The New Jersey governor is slated to be the next chair of the Republican Governors Association, and both he and Walker are considered top potential GOP candidates for 2016.
Christie came under fire from some Giants fans earlier this year when he expressed his allegiance to the Dallas Cowboys, but he has also said the team would be more aptly named the "New Jersey Giants." The team plays at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
Kickoff is at 4:25 p.m. EST.

Synthesis and decay properties of superheavy elements
Abstract: A fundamental outcome of modern nuclear theory is the prediction of the "island of stability" in the region of hypothetical superheavy elements. A significant enhancement in nuclear stability at approaching the closed shells with Z = 114 (possibly 120 and 122) and N = 184 is expected for the nuclei with large neutron excess. For this reason, for the synthesis of nuclei with Z = 112-116 and 118, we chose the reactions 238U, 242,244Pu, 243Am, 245,248Cm, and 249Cf + 48Ca, which are characterized by fusion products with a maximal neutron excess. The formation and decay properties of the heaviest nuclei were registered with the use of a gas-filled recoil separator installed at a 48Ca-beam of the heavy-ion cyclotron. The new nuclides mainly undergo sequential α-decay, which ends with spontaneous fission (SF). The total time of decay ranges from 0.5 ms to ~1 d, depending on the proton and neutron numbers in the synthesized nuclei. The atomic number of the new elements 115 and 113 was confirmed also by an independent radiochemical experiment based on the identification of the neutron-rich isotope 268Db (TSF ~ 30 h), the final product in the chain of α-decays of the odd-odd parent nucleus 288115. The comparison of the decay properties of 29 new nuclides with Z = 104-118 and N = 162-177 gives evidence of the decisive influence of the structure of superheavy elements on their stability with respect to different modes of radioactive decay. The investigations connected with the search for superheavy elements in Nature are also presented.Synthesis and decay properties of superheavy elements, , Pure and Applied Chemistry, 2006, Volume 78, Issue 5, p.889 - 904, (2006)

Chemical characterization of element 112
Partial Abstract. Here we report a more reliable chemical characterization of element 112, involving the production of two atoms of 283112 through the alpha decay of the short-lived 287114 (which itself forms in the nuclear fusion reaction12 of 48Ca with 242Pu) and the adsorption of the two atoms on a gold surface. By directly comparing the adsorption characteristics of 283112 to that of mercury and the noble gas radon, we find that element 112 is very volatile and, unlike radon, reveals a metallic interaction with the gold surface. These adsorption characteristics establish element 112 as a typical element of group 12, and its successful production unambiguously establishes the approach to the island of stability of superheavy elements through 48Ca-induced nuclear fusion reactions with actinides.Chemical characterization of element 112, , Nature, 5/2007, Volume 447, Issue 7140, p.72 - 75, (2007)
Independent Verification of Element 114 Production in the Ca-48 + Pu-242 Reaction
Independent verification of the production of element 114 in the reaction of 244-MeV 48Ca with 242Pu is presented. Two chains of time- and position-correlated decays have been assigned to 286114 and 287114. The observed decay modes, half-lives, and decay energies agree with published results. The measured cross sections at a center-of-target energy of 244 MeV for the 242Pu(48Ca,3–4n)287,286114 reactions were 1.4(+3.2, -1.2) pb each, which are lower than the reported values.Independent Verification of Element 114 Production in the Ca-48 + Pu-242 Reaction, , Physical Review Letters, Volume 103, Number 13, p.132502, (2009)
Carbonate minerals on Mars
A NASA press release indicates that NASA's Spirit, the first of two Mars Exploration Rovers on the surface within Mars' Gusev crater, has identified carbonate minerals "in the rover's first survey of the site with its infrared sensing instrument, called the miniature thermal emission spectrometer or Mini-TES. Carbonates form in the presence of water, but it's too early to tell whether the amounts detected come from interaction with water vapor in Mars' atmosphere or are evidence of a watery local environment in the past, scientists emphasized."
"We came looking for carbonates. We have them. We're going to chase them," said Dr. Phil Christensen of Arizona State University, Tempe, leader of the Mini-TES team. Previous infrared readings from Mars orbit have revealed a low concentration of carbonates distributed globally. Christensen has interpreted that as the result of dust interaction with atmospheric water. First indications are that the carbonate concentration near Spirit may be higher than the Mars global average.
After the rover drives off its lander platform, infrared measurements it takes as it explores the area may allow scientists to judge whether the water indicated by the nearby carbonates was in the air or in a suspected ancient lake. http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/press/spirit/20040109a/graph-carb...
Rover Senses Carbonates
This graph, consisting of data from the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit's mini-thermal emission spectrometer, shows the light, or spectral, signatures of carbonates - organic molecules common to Earth that form only in water. The detection of trace amounts of carbonates on Mars may be due to an interaction between the water vapor in the atmosphere and minerals on the surface.

N3rd Boy is a fun vertical platformer who's difficulty curve around level 7 starts sticking straight up. I enjoyed what I managed to make it through, but decided to share it here for one of the more masochistic gamers to complete.
Discussion (4)¬
wow, what a shoddy super meat boy rip off. i was expecting it to at least gain some of its own uniqueness by the 7th level, but when i reached the lava levels, it was basically the same game only crap and slower.
It would help so much if Flash wasn't such a bad platform to make game and if half of my inputs actually had a effect instead of doing fuck all.
What would happen if super meat boy took ritalin…
Wow, this is crap. What is it with games and crappy wall-jump controls?
Pro-tip: Pushing into a wall, then requiring opposite motion to continue the jump is completely flawed in design.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition coming to PS4 and Xbox One
We loved the Tomb Raider game. Sure it was all over too quickly, but sacrificing quantity for quality isn't too much of an issue. Especially now we hear it can be experienced again in glorious next-gen quality on the PS4 and Xbox One.
Square Enix, maker of Tomb Raider, has hinted that the game's reveal will take place at this year's VGX Awards on 7 December.
READ: Tomb Raider (2013) review
"It's so hard to keep a secret these days!," the publisher told IGN. "We appreciate all of the enthusiasm, however we don't have any details to share just yet. That said, we highly recommend you keep an eye on any major gaming events happening in early December."
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition was first spotted in Italy on Amazon's website where it was listed for a 24 January release. This listing is for the PS4 only but it does have a next-gen description on a second version without actually naming the Xbox One.
According to the listing the Definitive Edition will contain all of the game's DLC packs and Amazon pre-orders include an exclusive art book.

As of Tuesday, November 13, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. — Police officers called out the SWAT team and converged on 2401 Nottingham Way at 9 p.m. Monday in search of weapons, an Albany Police Department report stated.
"SWAT was called out in reference to the search warrant due to weapons," police Detective Timothy Harvey said. "We continued our investigation and found assault-style weapons and a handgun."
Officers confiscated the weapons, but no one is in custody while the investigation continues, Harvey said. He declined to give specifics such as the names of the people involved, who had the guns, the apartment residents' names and the make and caliber of the weapons confiscated, due to the ongoing investigation.
"Charges are pending," Harvey said, "and arrests are expected."
A resident called a tip on the weapons violations in to Harvey on his day off, an APD spokeswoman said. After the tip, Harvey started the investigation that led to the apartment and the guns.
No one was injured in the raid.
Jimboob 2 years, 7 months ago
Is it against the law to have "Assault-style weapons" in the city? Was it because the people possessing the weapons were felons? Had some illegal activity involving the weapons taken place? Did the police not inform the Herald or was this just lazy reporting?
Sherwood_Eagle_Alum 2 years, 7 months ago
Maybe they weren't purchased legally or had serial numbers missing. They could have been on probation and not allowed to possess weapons of any kind. I agree that the facts were not reported well. We'll see if there is an update with more details.
KaosinAlbany 2 years, 7 months ago
Those apartments are nothing but a headache for the residents who live around them and attract the criminal element into the Sherwood neighborhood. I am sick and tired of this going on and it has only worsened the crime in the area. The City needs to step and put a stop to the madness. We are sick and tired of fighting.
Cartman 2 years, 7 months ago
I own assault weapons, but I've never heard of an "assault style" weapon. I wonder if it is similar to a "gangnam style" weapon?
VSU 2 years, 7 months ago
Some of those apartments in that area advertise crime free community, but guess that is just to draw tenants.
bubbavet 2 years, 7 months ago
You can bet your sweet "a$$" the cops will manufacture some kind of charges to cover their sweet "a$$".
Jacob 2 years, 7 months ago
"You can bet your sweet "a$$" the cops will manufacture some kind of charges to cover their sweet "a$$"."
The cops won't have to. The typical albany title 8 apt. dweller is about as bright as a bag of hammers. I assure you, there was something illegal about the weapons. Wait and see. You can bet YOUR sweet a$$ on that.

This is a guest post by Doug Neal and Jim Ginsburgh, researchers for CSC's Leading Edge Forum. It is adapted from their report, The Consumerization Workbook.
The job of IT is to create economic value. So it should not be surprising that developing a business case based on sound rationale is an essential part of any major consumerization project.
Typically we see two business cases developed during the life of a consumerization project. Right at the start you need a high level business case to justify the pilot.
This has to be high level for two reasons. First, at the beginning you don't have detailed data with which to make specific claims, especially around cost. Second, you want to start with a focus on what the business really wants – such as profits, growth, or innovation.
The trouble is that there are multiple determinants of profits, growth and innovation. As the table above shows, there is no simple linkage between what IT does and business outcomes, and it can be hard to show what fraction is due to your project.
We see six sources of value that the business wants, and financial value is just one of them. However, a good statement of the financial value will help build support for a project.
The second business case is based on the data captured during the pilot. This means that your pilot needs to include a data capture protocol to ensure quality data for the second business case. A goal for an energy company that we interviewed is that the high level business case is accurate to plus or minus 30%, and the detailed business case is accurate to plus or minus 10%.
The chart below shows the general approach a consumer packaged goods firm used. Groups within the pilot were reviewed monthly on a variety of criteria including the successful use of web tools. The business activities of the participants, their experiences, their results, and their next steps were also tracked. They found it was necessary to define success differently for different segments of the population – as will often be the case, one size did not fit all.
The Consumerization Workbook.
Is there a business or IT strategy document or an external event that you can connect with to show the broader benefits of your project?
How are you dealing with stranded costs?
Are there barriers that are better suited to workarounds than permanent fixes?
These tips on developing and carrying out a business case are the first in a series that are adapted from the

Pilots regularly turn up new sources of value that could not have been imagined beforehand. For example, an aerospace firm piloted mobile communications in a number of activities that they thought would benefit. During the pilot they discovered an unforeseen opportunity with potential for immediate payback. It turned out that the cycle time for big contracts could be significantly reduced if contracts staff could make small changes to paragraphs in the contract regardless of their location or the time of day.

For example, the next chart shows detailed calculations put together by an international management consulting company after a consumerization pilot. The first bar, Adjusted Baseline, shows the status before the pilot. The next bar, the Projected Reference Case, shows the same categories, but as they would be if all the currently planned initiatives had taken place. The third bar, Consumerization Top Down, shows what the costs would look like after incremental changes to the current environment. Column four, Consumerization Bottom-Up, shows the same costs after a 'greenfield' consumerization effort that did not have to worry about any legacy issues. The last bar, Best Practice, came from the consulting company's files.
How do you avoid getting stuck supporting the legacy architecture and staff over the long term?
Are you really being asked for a business case or are people just trying to slow you down?
We recommend that the detailed business case should be developed from the five different perspectives listed in the chart below:
As you look from left to right, two things stand out: the drop in data network costs (black) by moving to consumer broadband, and the drop in support costs (red) driven by the newly capable and responsible employees. The benefits of consumerization are not just to the employees, but also, significantly, to the firm.
Finally, we suggest you consider these important questions when developing a business case for Consumerization:
Doug Neal
Will be the business case be evaluated strictly in terms of cost, or will other benefits be considered?
Jim Ginsburgh
. Jim's areas of expertise include leadership of a large IT organization and global business enterprise architecture. After a distinguished 36 year career with BP, Jim is now providing IT consulting services through his affiliation with SimplyBetterIT.com. As VP of Enterprise Architecture at BP, he was instrumental in leading an effort to move around one third of their PCs to a consumer model and also initiated a digital allowance program.
If it is based on charging economics, does it distort the evaluation process?

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 31, 2012
Seattle high school students are manning the phone banks this Thursday, Nov. 1, asking for $140,000 in 10 days, as part of a pledge drive for the public radio station that they operate out of Nathan Hale High School, C-89.5 KNHC-FM.
Named "the largest and most influential educational radio station in the country," by Rolling Stone magazine, C-89.5 serves over 250,000 loyal listeners in the Pacific Northwest, and is streamed by more than 220,000 individual IP addresses on the World Wide Web. The student-run station, known for being on the cutting-edge of dance music, is one of only 8 stations nationally that determine the Billboard Top 40 in Dance Music.
"Our biggest audiences are here in the Pacific Northwest, London, Germany and Brazil," said Gregg Neilson, General Manager at C-89.5. The station was also named "Best High School Radio Station in New York" by the Village Voice, due to the C-89.5's Internet audio stream.
The Nathan Hale High School students will be accepting donations in any amount, and also giving away CDs of the radio station's content for a donation of $89.50. Supporters can either call (206) 421-8989, or log onto https://secure.acceptiva.com/?cst=ca0d5f and make a donation online to help them to reach their goal. Seattle-based Brown Paper Tickets, the Not-Just-For-Profit ticketing company, will match 100% of the first $1,000 in donations.
"Brown Paper Tickets got its start ticketing dance music events in Seattle more than a decade ago and has been actively involved in the community ever since," said William Jordan, President of Brown Paper Tickets. "Growing up in Seattle in the early 90's, C-89.5 was one of the few place to hear the new and fantastic dance music that was coming out of places like Chicago, New York, Europe, and the UK. Although the Internet has made the world a smaller place, C-89.5 and its specialty shows continue to push the boundaries of cutting-edge dance music. It's really the only radio station in the city that offers this kind of programming and is an amazing example of what public radio can do."
Brown Paper Tickets is the world's only ticketing and event registration company to donate 5% of profits as a part of its Not-Just-For-Profit business model. To learn more about Brown Paper Tickets, call the 24/7 customer service hotline at 1-800-838-3006, or go to http://www.BrownPaperTickets.com.

IT SHOULD soon be possible to scan the entire human genome at a glance to see which genes are "switched on" in any cell. Using an array of tiny DNA fragments stuck to a microscope slide and some fluorescent dyes, geneticists in California have developed a method that reveals which genes are active in cells taken from a common weed. So far, they can survey the activity of nearly 2000 genes at one go. But in future, they hope to develop slides that can scan all 100 000 or so human genes.
All the cells in our bodies carry the same genetic blueprint. So working out which genes are active in a particular cell or tissue sample is crucial to understanding both normal development and cancer, which can occur when certain genes become more or less active than usual.
Researchers can discover which genes are active by picking out messenger ...

GETTING THERE: (Silver Star) From Sunset campground northeast of Battle Ground, follow Gifford Pinchot road No. 41 for four miles to the junction with No. 4109. Pay attention; this turn is easy to miss when driving east. Make a hard right turn at the junction, and a sign identifying the road as No. 4109 is visible.
Road No. 4109 drops to cross Copper Creek then climbs four miles to the trail head at road's end.
WARNING: Road Nos. 41 and 4109 are passable for cars, but a truck or anything with a higher clearance is recommended due to the number of ruts and potholes.
GETTING THERE: (Loowit Falls) Follow Gifford Pinchot road No. 90 to the junction with road No. 25 near Pine Creek Information Station at the head of Swift Reservoir. Take road No. 25 north for 25 miles to the well-marked junction with road No. 99. Take road No. 99 for 16 miles to its end at the Windy Ridge parking lot.
Paintbrush, penstemon, phlox, balsamroot, lupine, columbine, glacier lilies -- these colorful, showy wildflowers are the delights of the high country.
Combine them with waterfalls, glacial peaks, sprawling forests, sparkling lakes, rocky outcrops and panoramic views, and it's no wonder that bookstore shelves are lined with dozens of hiking guidebooks.
The 1.3-million-acre Gifford Pinchot National Forest has hundreds of miles of trails through the high country of Southwest Washington.
Straddling the crest of the Cascade Mountains from Mount Rainier south to the Columbia River, the Pinchot forest has six wilderness areas and a chunk of a seventh.
There's an active volcano in Mount St. Helens, a sleeping volcano in Mount Adams and the remnants of an ancient volcano in the Goat Rocks. There's majestic old-growth in Trapper Creek Wilderness and grand meadows in Indian Heaven Wilderness.
There are so many trails to tell about. As a sampler, here are two in the Gifford Pinchot to explore once the snow melts in summer:
Silver Star Mountain: Nestled in the southwest corner of the Pinchot, Silver Star Mountain is very unlike most of the backcountry on the west side of the Cascades.
Burned by the Yacolt fire of 1902, plus a later fire, the 4,382-foot peak and its surrounding terrain is mostly treeless.
Instead, Silver Star is a wonderful mix of steep ridges, cliffs, talus slopes, upland meadows and an amazing diversity of wildflowers. It is a great early July alternative while waiting for the high country of Mount Adams and the Goat Rocks to melt out.
"The variety and profusion of tiger lilies, penstemon, phlox, avalanche lilies and columbine present a tapestry of color equal to and found in the national parks of the Pacific Northwest,'' according to the late Nicholas Dodge in his 1987 "Silver Star Mountain A Short History and Plant List.''
Add to the flowers lots of lupine, paintbrush and beargrass.
The easiest route to the summit of Silver Star Mountain is from the trail head on Gifford Pinchot road No. 4109. It's about 1,200 feet of elevation gain using the Silver Star and Ed's trails.
Silver Star trail No. 180 is what's left of the former road to the summit. Skamania County had a radio repeater on top of Silver Star decades ago.
Ed's trail No. 180A parallels the Silver Star trail, but takes a much more scenic route through hanging meadows, under rocky bluffs and through a rock arch high on the side of the Star Creek drainage.
From trail head to summit is 2.5 miles. The steepness of the terrain and the windy nature of the ridges make it a relatively bug-free hike.
Loowit Falls: It seems strange to find such an impressive waterfall in the middle of the blast zone on the north side of Mount St. Helens.
And while it's a long drive (almost three hours) from the metro area to the trail head at Windy Ridge viewpoint, the hike to Loowit Falls is pretty mellow.
From Windy Ridge, elevation 3,841, the climb to the Loowit Falls viewpoint is only 741 vertical feet to elevation 4,582.
The hike begins at the popular viewpoint at the end of road No. 99. A Northwest Forest Pass is needed, or a $5 day-use fee can be paid at the parking lot.
The walk begins on Truman trail No. 207, which is the remnant of a former road.
At 1.79 miles, the road-trail junctions with Abraham trail No. 216D and with Windy trail No. 216E at 2.09 miles.
Take Windy No. 216E for 0.82 miles to the junction with Loowit trail No. 216 at 2.91 miles. Turn right on Loowit No. 216 and pass Loowit Spring at 3.25 miles, reaching the side trail to Loowit Falls at 3.88 miles.
The side trail climbs almost 300 feet in elevation in 0.64 mile to a viewpoint of the falls.
While much of the north side of Mount St. Helens retains the moonscape look, the recovery after 30-plus years is evident. The transition from gray to green is everywhere.
Springs are playing a huge role, with their willow- and alder-lined channels full of amphibians, birds and small mammals. Lupine, with its showy blue flower, is beginning to dominate in areas.
