DENVER - The pecking order at wide receiver still is muddled after Sunday night's game, in which coach Lovie Smith was looking for progress more than anything else.
"Just another step as much as anything," Smith had said. "That's what we've asked from game to game."
But not much was decided as Devin Aromashodu's 8-yard reception was the only catch by a nonstarter in the first half. Aromashodu saw most of the playing time as the third receiver with the starters.
Brandon Rideau's first catch, a 4-yarder, didn't come until near the end of the third quarter.
One of the considerations in determining playing time behind starters Devin Hester and Earl Bennett is the ability to play the slot position when the Bears go with three wide receivers.
Rashied Davis has the most experience in the slot, and Bennett has played there some, starting last season in very limited activity as a rookie. In the Bears' offense, the slot receiver normally works underneath the defense and in the middle of the field. "It's tough to find a guy like that," said wide receivers coach Darryl Drake. "Not all of them can do it."
In the second half it was rookies Johnny Knox and Juaquin Iglesias who made the big plays. Knox caught a 43-yard pass from Caleb Hanie, and Iglesias had a 25-yard reception from Brett Basanez.
"I don't know that they had a whole lot of opportunities," offensive coordinator Ron Turner said of the nonstarters. "Johnny Knox obviously made a nice play in a third-down situation when we needed a play. Juaquin made a good play down the stretch."
Not so novel: The Broncos play a 3-4 defense which, in the past, has caused opponents problems because so few teams used that scheme.
But as many as 14 teams could be playing three-man defensive fronts this year, either as their base alignment or in tandem with some 4-3 alignments.
"I don't know what advantage one has over the other," Bears coach Lovie Smith said. "It used to be the advantage was that not a lot of teams were playing the 3-4; now a lot of teams are. We play one this week (the Broncos), we play one next week (the Browns), and of course Green Bay does it, so it's just another thing to deal with."
The Packers switched in the off-season from a 4-3 to a 3-4. In addition to the two games vs. the Packers, the Bears also will face 3-4 teams when they play Pittsburgh in Week 2, Cleveland again (Week 8), San Francisco (Week 10) and Baltimore (Week 15). Arizona (Week 9) plays a version of the 3-4.
In and out: Starting safety Danieal Manning (hamstring), starting cornerback Charles Tillman (back) and cornerback Zack Bowman (hamstring), a potential starter, have yet to play in a preseason game, after sitting out Sunday night. But the remaining defensive backs have tried to pick up the slack.
"Guys are always going to be missing," said Corey Graham, who has been playing nickel back while Manning heals. "There are going to be injuries. Things are going to happen, and the next guy has just got to step in and make plays."

Intel has started building its first dedicated facility for 450mm wafer production.
The new foundry, which will have the catchy title D1X Module 2, will come online in 2015 and cost $2 billion.
The 450mm facility will set records because of the cost of the new manufacturing equipment, something that Intel is banking on. After all – if it is one of the few chip makers that can afford the new generation of gear, it will will gain a significant competitive advantage.
Intel's enthusiasm may be masking some nerves. The industry attempted a transition from 200mm to 300mm transition which went disastrously wrong.
The cost and fears of another disaster mean that rivals like IBM, Samsung, and GlobalFoundries have begun to talk about a 450mm transition, while Intel is full steam ahead.
The logic is that while 450mm wafers are expensive in terms of equipment costs, in the long term you can make a lot of money.
GlobalFoundries has said that a 450mm wafer can yield 3,400 dies while a 300mm wafer yields just 1,450.
So, a 450mm fab with a 40 to 45,000 wafer starts a month will produce as much as a 300mm fab with 100,000 wafer starts a month. It is believed that 450mm wafers will save 20 percent to 25 percent in capital expenditures.
Cutting costs is all very well, but the whole project will bank on Intel's ability to sell the chips it makes. This could be a little tricky given the downturn in the IT industry. Chipzilla is already facing failing margins to sell its chips, and some of the savings it makes from 450mm wafers might just go to keeping its head above water.
According to ExtremeTech, Intel hopes to address this by moving to 14nm at the same time.
If a 450mm wafer packs 2.5 times the processors of a 300mm wafer, the cost-per-processor is far lower if and only if Intel can ship every single chip.
To achieve this, Intel really could do with widespread uptake of its Atom processors to justify the enormous build-outs the company has done at Fab 42 and now at Fab D1X.

Why was Pigeon asked to leave?

On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 3:04 PM, Jake <email@example.com> wrote:

I spoke with Monad for a while about calling the police on Pigeon the other night, and tried to impress on him the importance of keeping The Police calling as an absolute last resort.

 (I wasn't there thursday night)

 I told him about the 311 phone call system that used to be in place, where Noisebridgers who lived nearby would make themselves available to be woken up to come to the space and handle situations that needed immediate mediation (or at least talk someone down over the phone)

 Apparently there were not enough people at Noisebridge at the time who were actively backing up Monad's insistence that Pigeon leave. ĀI find this unexcellent, because everyone should take responsibility to solve problems like this when they come up.

 If people agreed with Monad that Pigeon should leave, they should have stood shoulder to shoulder with Monad staring down Pigeon (nothing further than that is required) Or, if they disagreed that Pigeon should leave, they should have mediated the conflict right then and there.

 According to Monad, apparently people decided they didn't care, and they sat back down and ignored the situation and then the police were called. And while Dana and Rayc showed up to help, and Daravinne was there, somehow this wasn't enough to solve the problem a different way.

 We should all learn what we can from this thing that happened, and I think we should remember that when conflict is happening in the space, we should step up to help solve it before something drastic happens.

 Also it sounds like Pigeon is an asshole and Monad was just trying to do what he thought was right for Noisebridge, in context of the problem he faced and the support he had on his side.

 Hmm, I was at a Noisebridge benefit with Monad until around 23:00 that night.

 Daravinne, did Pigeon's behavior warrant a call to the police? Did they
 threaten the safety of themselves or others at Noisebridge? It sounds to
 me that Monad overreacted. It should not become common place to request
 police assistance at Nosiebridge. -Kevin

The OT recently spoke in depth with Joshua Bloom, co-author of the 2013 award-winning book 'Black Against Empire', about the history, politics and thought of the Black Panther Party. We have split the interview into three sections – Part 1 / Part 2 and the final part:
OT The time in which the BPP were at their height also saw the beginnings of long restructuring processes that are now much more familiar to us: de-industrialisation, mass incarceration, white flight and gentrification, the growth of "surplus populations" in the urban Global North. The BPP's social programs were in part a reaction to what they described as a colonial US State (both inside and outside its borders) never caring about black Americans being able to reproduce their own lives. This remains the case now for large sections of black America and for other sections of the Western working class in light of automation & outsourcing. Shouldn't BPP-style community organising be just as relevant today? Do you see its influence in contemporary organising?
JB In my reading of history in black freedom struggle, and to some extent beyond – looking at labour in the US and a number of other movements, I really think that that piece about development plays out fairly consistently. The movements that really become movements, in a broader transformative way, usually find ways of making 'business as usual' impossible. You can't make sense of the Panthers' success with the social programs outside of seeing it as a partner to their insurgent practices and the kinds of power that they were able to wield and mobilise. It fell apart very quickly once stripped of those forms of power – which makes it no less central and essential to what they did at their height, it was crucial but not crucial in isolation.
OT At different points in its history, the BPP flirted with electoralism, fielding candidates in both local and national elections. Was an electoral route to social change held as a genuine belief by some within the party or did it speak to opportunism in earlier times of strength, and later, desperation after the organisation began to collapse on a national level?
JB I think you got it right in the way you framed the question. The earlier stuff was a way to build political relations and build reach, they weren't thinking of any real electoral route. It was more of a symbolic politics. The later stuff – after the split – in Oakland was different. This is the national Party that put down the gun and had a fair amount of political influence still because it had been so influential for years. It was running on fumes but it had a lot of fumes to run on! And so they're running Bobby Seale for mayor and they're running Elaine Brown for council and this is also the period in the 70s when black people are starting to win political representation so they're not that unique in running but they're able to use the Panther clout. And they lose but they're trying to win and their idea is to try to take over Oakland and to try to use all of the resources still at their disposal and focus all those fumes right there in Oakland and see what they can accomplish! And, you know, they don't win those two seats but they do come close and they help to break the Republican machine and to put in Lionel Wilson as the first Democrat and, most importantly, the first black person elected mayor in Oakland. So they do, at that point, take electoral politics pretty seriously. Again, the Party isn't a movement any more, it's running on fumes but at that point the electoral politics is much more serious for them.
OT The Black Panthers' ideology developed over time, as can be seen through the evolution of Huey Newton's writing as well as the amendments made to their Ten Point Program. A more traditional black nationalist politics became increasingly influenced by Marxist and Maoist ideas. How would you describe the ideological changes that took place within the BPP, and was this solely a top-down process or were rank and file members able to criticise and take part? Did the organisation maintain the desire for an independent state for black people in America? Who were the leading thinkers in the movement, and what past thinkers were most influential on the Panthers?
JB The Party was always eclectic ideologically. It was always practice-driven rather than ideology-driven and it was always diverse so from member to member, leader to leader, and most especially, from chapter to chapter, there were far-reaching fundamental differences. There were certain points on which people always essentially agreed – the central idea of the black community as a constituency and the Black Panther Party as the legitimate representatives of the black community, as part of a global anti-imperialist struggle and the way that the struggle of black people, through the Black Panther Party, linked with these other struggles around the world. That was core to the Party's intellectual positioning from day one. And some elements of anti-capitalism and Marxism as they helped to set that up. All the details both changed over the course of their history but were also really different from place to place. I mean, even just look at the way people dressed and the names they took, you know, there were strong Garveyite nationalist influences in New York and people wore dashikis and took African names. In Oakland they didn't do either of those things. They were very much against what they called "Pork-Chop Nationalism" or cultural nationalism. There were some important shifts. I would argue that the biggest shifts came in relation to changes in structure and context. So, how does the Party reinvent itself when it can't do the armed patrols any more? How does the Party reinvent itself when in fact it's actually succeeded in building these very strong relations with the New Left and anti-imperialist movements internationally? How does the Party try to reinvent itself when these concessions make sustaining Panther politics and the politics of armed self-defence impossible? There's a shift to a much more marked Marxism really with Masai Hewitt coming in as the Minister of Education, following George Murray, and he brings in a much sharper Marxist position. Marx was always an important piece of the influence, I'd say if there was one ideological influence that was most important throughout then it was Malcolm X and Malcolm X's idea of nationalism and this idea of taking care of the black community and doing it by any means necessary. If you look at Malcolm X's program, I think his is 13 points but the 10 point program [of the Panthers] is drawn very closely from Malcolm X. Revolutionary Action Movement and Max Stanford, who's much less known, is also very influential and both Bobby and Huey had worked with him; Robert Williams, obviously; Mao, I mean they're selling the Little Red Book and it's somewhat incidental early on but it certainly rubs off and it becomes key to their relationship with other constituencies. But it's never a dogmatic Marxism for the Party as a whole and there are always important differences from moment to moment, leader to leader, from chapter to chapter.
OT The impression we get from the book regarding how gender and sexuality were conceived, constructed and experienced within the BPP is somewhat mixed. The history of the Panthers is full of strong, influential women like Elaine Brown and Ericka Huggins but it seems misogyny was commonplace, and activities and responsibilities remained highly gendered. You also mention that the BPP's leadership became the first national black organisation to support gay rights. How genuine would you say these stances of the party were? How alive were these struggles within the Party? Was there an internal process whereby many Party members' views and behaviours changed over time?
JB In a nutshell, people like to paint it in these stark caricature terms. Either the Party was sort of the "vanguard" of Women's Liberation, Gay Liberation and was all about gender equality and pro-feminist and all these things. Or, the Party was, in Michele Wallace's rendering, all about black macho and the degradation of black women and all these kinds of things. Neither of those is accurate. What's actually clear is that the Party was growing out of a context and a milieu in which patriarchy was the water and the air! And continues to be today! All you have to do is open up the New York Times each day and see the white men in suits on the front page and the women in underwear on page 2 selling rings and perfume or whatever. The Black Panther Party was also imbued with a couple of particular kinds of patriarchy from the start. One, being rooted in the particular forms that gender relations took in black nationalism. So there were very strident kinds of patriarchy, for example in US organisation [cultural nationalist grouping contemporary to the BPP in California] when you think about Kwanzaa and Ron Karenga and stuff. Very strident nationalist gender politics there, much more so than the Party ever had. And particularly the way that the Party's early liberation struggle was a gendered, masculinised freedom. This idea of the reassertion of black masculinity was pretty crucial to early Party politics. And most of the early Panthers, never all, but most of the first rounds of Party members and constituents were men. What happened was pretty quickly those gender dynamics, in terms of the composition of the Party, shifted first. So women became much more influential and by the time '69 comes around the Party's growing in influence nationally and globally, women are doing most of the Party work and running not only the service programs but also running a lot of the most successful chapters and taking leadership positions and all kinds of things. And what happens is really driven by those women. The Party struggles over those issues [gender] in a very front and centre way from pretty early on. If you read the papers [the Party newspaper] from the first year, starting in '67 there are discussions about gender issues in a very diverse and eclectic but in-your-face way. Written by women, some by men, tangling with these issues about gender and so those discussions are ongoing and there are moments when they really burst out like with the July '69 United Front Against Fascism conference when a group of women organised and some of them ended up walking out and there are challenges to keynote speakers and all kinds of forceful interventions around gender. Huey Newton is always clear and becomes more and more clear that he sees gender oppression as a central form of oppression – now how well is that articulated in some coherent way? I don't know that you could really say: 'well here's how you locate gender oppression vis a vis race and class oppression, etc. But those issues are entangled both in terms of organisational dynamics and in terms of broader struggle. So you think of the Civil Rights Movement as giving birth to many parts of the Women's Movement but you look at some cities like New Haven [Connecticut] where the Ericka Huggins mobilisations were actually where the Women's Movement in New Haven was born. It wasn't born out of the Civil Rights Movement, it was born out of a solidarity organisation for Ericka Huggins [imprisoned Panther leader]. So there are very important political and direct organisational relations, there are important discussions, there are important questions about how gender plays out within the organisation with people on all sides of these issues and I don't know that you can pin it down more than that. It was a very eclectic and live process where the question is given a fair amount of attention. I mean the Party officially endorsed and supported Gay Liberation, for example, way in advance of any major national black political organisation that I'm aware of.
OT Was there a sense of trajectory to the internal debates and discussions? Was there a sense that over the period of time that the Party's at its height that these discussion are being won or lost, or that people's minds are being changed?
JB It's not black and white but there's progress, for sure. There's definitely progress. And I would say progress well in advance of the rate in society in general. Does that mean that there's victory?! NO. But is there progress? Yes.
OT The Black Panther, the Party's newspaper, played a central role in the movement. It provided information of relevance about local, national and international struggles. It was also used as a powerful propaganda tool against the state and for internal discipline within the Party (increasingly for its announcements of Party members being purged!) You mention in the book that its circulation reached 150,000. Could you tell us a bit about the paper: who made it, how it was organised, its regularity and how tightly controlled it was by the leadership? We are also interested in the role that images, graphics, posters and the iconic visuals of Emory Douglas played in the BPP's self-representation and how this helped the BPP to communicate the struggle to a wider audience?
JB The newspaper was key because it allowed the Party, and was the vehicle through which the Party, really spoke for itself. The Party didn't let anybody speak for it and saw itself as the legitimate representative of the black community and as part of this global movement against imperialism and both those kinds of identities were really reflected centrally through the newspaper. The newspaper was a key source of revenue, probably the key source of revenue, and it was also the way the Party presented itself to the world. And it wasn't just nationally Party leaders or local Party members, there were all sorts of colourful and personal and individual eccentric stories. People just wrote – some of whom were barely literate and others who were very very literate – just wrote their own stuff and all of that went into the paper and images and stories, everything. So it was this place where the Party would express but also a place where a lot of the allies spoke, both international allies and domestic ones. So it was very rich.
OT The sheer extent of COINTELPRO infiltration, agents provocateurs and state-sanctioned murder of Panthers only became known years after the Party's demise, though the campaign of vilification and repression by the US government was clear to Panthers at the time. Today in the UK, as in the US, the state is widening its conceptions of 'extremists' and 'terrorists', continuing to criminalise those who organise against state oppression – many groups can now find themselves caught up in the discourse of 'extremism' when acting against the arbitrary ideal of British or American 'values'. How did the Panthers cope with the widespread propaganda offensive against them? To what extent did heavy state repression galvanise support for the BPP and was it state infiltration that was more damaging? What lessons should contemporary movements learn from state interference with the BPP?
JB You're absolutely right, the infiltration was more damaging than the direct attacks. The more the state came head on, the more [the Party] grew support. And the more that the state could vilify the Party through agents provocateurs and infiltration, it was harder for the Party to resist those forms of repression. That said, I want to re-emphasise the basic dynamic by which the Party was able to grow its tremendous influence and that was that it created a politics that leveraged much broader political divisions between countries like Algeria, Cuba, China and Vietnam and the United States on the one hand, moderate black America and the US on the other, antiwar and draft resistance America and the US on a third. It developed a politics that leveraged all those cleavages in ways that the harder the state came, the more those other broader constituencies were threatened. So repression of every sort and any sort – you know, people saw through the provocateurs, people didn't believe the state that Bobby Seale ordered the killing of Alex Rackley because the state was so clearly trying to crush the Party and that was so threatening to so many people. Those are the main lessons for today: it all comes down to practices that make 'business as usual' impossible in ways that when the state represses you, whether it's infiltration and provocateurs or direct guns blazing repression, that repression is threatening to those broader constituencies and repression generates more mobilisation instead of de-escalation.

As you guys know, I'm a crazy thrifter and deal hunter. I love scouting out that diamond-in-the-rough piece that I can either fix-up and make it my own, or embrace the patina and give a good home. This weekend I came across a deep emerald lacquer tray that was probably pretty amazing in it's prime, but in it's current state was quite beat up needed some love. The lacquer finish was heavily scratched and chipped at the corners.
I'd been looking for a new tray to switch out the basket we were using to hold books, coasters, etc. on our coffee table. You can see that basket here. Inevitably, this time of year I get cabin fever and want to rearrange and redecorate our entire place. In fact, this weekend we bought a new area rug for our living room–I'm so excited! It's being delivered later this week, so stay tuned for pictures!
I digress. So I came across this steal of a deal tray and knew that with a little elbow grease and spray paint I could turn it into a great piece for our home! Here's how it came together:
- Fine Grit Sandpaper
- Painter's Tape
- White Lacquer Spray Paint
- Metallic Gold Spray Paint
- 2 Large Plastic Garbage Bags
- Scissors
1. Cut one of the garbage bags down the side and along the bottom to create a "dropcloth" to protect the ground below.
2. Sand the entire surface of the tray. Wash with soap and water, and wipe completely dry.
3. Spray the bottom and sides of the tray (including the handle cut outs with several coats of white spray paint. Let dry. Flip the tray over and spray the flat surface at the top of the tray's lip. Let dry.
4. Using painter's tape, tape the entire perimeter of the flat surface on the tray's lip taking care to line the edge of the tape up to the inside edge of the lip to protect it from the gold paint. Don't forget to tape off the inside of the tray handles too.
5. Cut the 2nd garbage bag so that it's roughly 1.5″ larger than the size of the tray. Wrap the garbage bag around the outside of the tray (to protect it from gold paint), and secure to the outside of the tray with painter's tape.
6. Spray the inside of the tray with several coats of gold spray paint and let dry.
7. Remove plastic and painter's tape. Place on your coffee table and style away!
Note: The paint is susceptible to chipping, so you may want to seal with a clear acrylic sealer to protect the paint.

During my academic career I would write scholarly articles from time to time and see them published in the periodical literature devoted to such work. I was rarely paid in money, but the gratification of seeing my work in print, and of contributing to the scholarly conversation was more than enough compensation.
But there was an additional, legal gratification: absent an explicit contract to the contrary, copyright remains with the writer. So now I own quite a few copyrights, and here are the benefits that I derive from them:
In this age of computerization, not a few of my old articles are available in the data bases of a number of well-known publishers. So I can find much of my old work there any time I want to refer to it. I can find it there, but as I learned to my chagrin, it is generally not free. Since I never gave permission for my work to be sold by others, I approached a number of these publishers. Look, I said, this work is mine. You sell it without my permission. Tell you what, I said to a number of them, I will give you permission to keep using my work if, by way of compensation, you will give me free access to your data base.
In not a single case have any of these publishers — a very famous university press among them — agreed to my proposal. I generally get a letter back saying that the matter is being referred to their legal department, or whatever, and then I never hear from them again.
The one exception is the well-known conservative magazine Commentary, to which I contributed a few very minor items more than fifty years ago, back when it was not at all conservative. This is what I wrote on October 2 of last year:
Some fifty years ago I contributed some book reviews to Commentary. Whatever the custom may be now, at that time I retained the copyright to this material, since, absent an explicit contract to the contrary, the copyright automatically belongs to the author. Now it appears that you sell access to these reviews on your website, even though these rights are not yours to sell. I was asked to pay for access to my own property !
I am willing to negotiate an arrangement under which I would grant you rights to sell access to my work in return for my having free usage of your archives.
In any case, please note that, as of now, you are infringing on my intellectual property rights.
Kindest regards, and best wishes for the new year.
Well, it did not take long to get an answer from the good people of Commentary. Here is what they wrote back, on October 5:
Dear Werner Cohn:
I apologize for any misunderstanding. We will remove your work from our website as soon as possible.
I hope you have a sweet new year.
Well, I can't say that I was happy with this answer, but at least, I thought, they are doing the right thing: they know they are infringing on my property rights, and they agree to cease and desist, in full compliance with their own (current) private-property principles.
But there is a funny ending to this story. They have indeed removed my name from an old book review of mine, but the review itself is still there, published as "Reviewed by [blank]." No, I am not making this up. Click here.
UPDATE, about three hours later from the above:
Whoever says that Commentary has no shame is wrong, completely wrong. After I posted the above, and sent a link to Mr. John Podhoretz of Commentary magazine, lo and behold, a couple of hours later, two of my ancient book reviews have disappeared from the on-line archive of the magazine. And all that happened on shabat. Great work, John P. !

Public Phenomena for Multitudes magazine
We have just completed a spread of new public phenomena research for an upcoming issue of Multitudes magazine (Paris). It is a special issue printed in conjunction with the Transmission exhibition we participated in this spring at the Villa Arson in Nice, France. For the publication, we look at three new categories of public phenomena: trees that have been severely cropped to preserve fences and powerlines, fences and walls made from attaching several pieces of wood and assorted materials together, and traces of buildings that have been torn down but have left marks on adjacent structures.
The PDF of the spread is here:
Public Services – Sparwasser HQ, Berlin, Germany, June 17 – July 15, 2006
We are presenting Binder Archives with binders by:
Josh MacPhee, Alexis Petroff, Céline Duval, Harold Jefferies, Lori Couve, Street Flyer and Public Notice Archive, Peter Redgrave, Jesse Bercowetz and Matt Bua, Melinda Fries and Jakob Kolding

Public Services is described as:
The exhibition Public Services brings together projects by artists and architects whose works and research deal with problems involving the service sector in contemporary urban environments. These projects represent a critical consideration of alternative models of public services, which, ideally, are founded on the principles of openness, access, equality, participation, mobility, adaptability, and transformativity. When artists today think about structures and forms in the contemporary city, they think above all about the importance of open communication within urban structures. By occupying the space that lies between the many different users of cities, corporate capital (and its interests), and the urban structure, they draw attention to processes of degradation and appropriation, borders between public and private, the de-industrialization and agrarianization of cities, and so on, while developing new public-service models based on participation, exchange, and solidarity.
Public Services presents five different starting points for engagement and five explicitly subjective approaches. These projects and creative works have been conceived as forms of immediate and physical intervention in the structure of the city, as social interaction, as a virtual utopian scheme, etc. In terms of their goals, these works may be either indirect or immediate, action-based or utopian.
This exhibition is traveling to multiple venues and the public spaces of their cities:
Pavel Haus, Radkersburg, Austria, October 8 – December 3, 2005
P74 Center and Gallery, Ljubljana, Slovenia, January 12 – 31, 2006

The Invisible Reading Room – Organized by The Invisible Inc., Melbourne, Australia, March 2006
The Invisible Reading Room is described like this:
The Invisible Inc. will be participating in the Next Wave Festival's Containers Project in Melbourne in March 2006. The Invisible Reading Room will incorporate over 100 visual artists' publications including zines, books, sound recordings, video compilations, periodicals, online journals and blogs. In response to the Next Wave 2006 theme 'Empire Games', the collection will focus on projects by young or emerging visual artists from Australia and across the Commonwealth. By making a large and comprehensive collection of Australian and international contemporary artists' publications available at the one site, The Invisible Reading Room aims to demonstrate the diversity of approaches to the published medium in the visual arts, and to expose artists' published projects to a broader audience than they usually receive. The Invisible Reading Room is an ongoing project, and it is intended that the collection will be exhibited at other Australian venues in the future.
The Prison Industrial Complex: Rehabilitating the System – Vera List Center for Art and Politics, The New School, New York, NY, Friday., April 7, 2006
Location: Theresa Lang Student and Community Center, 55 West 13th Street, 2nd floor.
"One of the primary goals in the punishment of crime has been the hope for reform. Today, however, the role of the prison as a place for rehabilitation, growth, and personal advancement appears obsolete. Since the privatization of the United States prison system in the 1980s, the system has become a vast $40 billion-a-year industry, the most elaborate in the world. At a time when the United States has achieved the highest rate of imprisonment per capita in the history of the world–in which, for instance, one in four African American men are under correctional supervision–the U.S. public is slowly awakening to an unprecedented crisis of mass incarceration. Investigating notions of punishment and imprisonment, repentance and acquittal, this discussion addresses many of the issues surrounding the prison industrial complex, focusing on privatization and industry."
Participants include Ashley Hunt, artist and activist; Ruth Wilson Gilmore, scholar, University of Southern California; and Trevor Paglen, artist, writer, and experimental geographer. Salem will be talking about Prisoners' Inventions—the other panelists are making great work as well. Come join us for what proves to be an interesting discussion!

Framing the Artists – Featured project on Super-flux
Drawing by Angelo – pictured is a table made of cardboard and masking tape.
Prisoners' Inventions – I Space, Chicago, December 9, 2005 – January 28, 2006
Prisoners' Inventions is a collaboration between Temporary Services, a group based in Chicago, and Angelo, who is incarcerated in California. Angelo illustrated and described many incredible inventions made by prisoners. The creations include cooking appliances, cigarette lighters, condoms and chess sets. These items demonstrate the resourcefulness of prisoners in response to their restrictive environment. Temporary Services co-edited a book of Angelo's writings and drawings, re-created many of the inventions from the book and built a full-size replica of Angelo's cell at his request.
This exhibition at I space will be the most extensive showing of Prisoners' Inventions to date. It will include a large
number of re-created inventions, blueprints for and a replica of Angelo's cell, videos demonstrating how several inventions are made, a reading library of related publications, a panel discussion, film screenings and more. We will also exhibit new Prisoners' Inventions drawings from Angelo that have never been shown or published. These include a method for removing pilly fabric bumps from linens, a pizza recipe involving a light fixture and details of an exorcism that was performed on a television set that may have been haunted.
Opening Reception
December 9, 6 – 10 PM
Please join us and help us celebrate the first complete exhibition of Prisoners' Inventions in Chicago.
Workshop and Discussions:
December 10, 1 PM
Exhibition tour and invention making workshop with Temporary Services. Temporary Services will give a tour of the exhibition. They will talk about the process of collaborating with Angelo on Prisoners' Inventions. The talk will be followed by a workshop on how to make some of the inventions. The workshop is for all ages and skill levels.
December 17, 12 – 2 PM
Prison Design: public discussion with Kevin Henry and Glen A. Hodgson
Moderated by Temporary Services and Jeffery Poss, Associate Professor, UIUC School of Architecture. Kevin Henry is an industrial designer and the coordinator of the Product Design program at Columbia College. Glen A. Hodgson is an architect who has helped plan and design 33 adult and juvenile correctional facilities. They will discuss Prisoners' Inventions in relation to their professional experiences.
Film Screenings:
December 15, 8 PM
A Man Escaped (1956)
Directed by Robert Bresson, France, 95 min.
Lt. Fontaine is a French man incarcerated by German soldiers occupying France in 1943. It gradually becomes clear that Fontaine will be executed for blowing up a bridge as an act of resistance to the occupation. He devises several inventions for surviving prison life and escaping. He figures out a way to communicate with prisoners in neighboring cells by tapping on the walls, and by lowering a handkerchief with a string from his window to pass letters to other inmates. Fontaine dismantles his bed to make a rope reinforced with wire. He fashions grappling hooks from the metal frame of an air vent cover. This film is packed with prisoners' inventions.
January 5, 8 PM
Carandiru (2003)
Directed by Hector Babenco, Brazil, 146 min.
This film is based on the actual experiences of Dr. Drauzio Varella. He worked at Carandiru prison in Sao Paolo, Brazil in the 90s. The film delves into the personal stories of inmates and their lives before prison, while showing the effects incarceration has on loved ones. Carandiru reveals the impact of the AIDS epidemic on the inmate population and the tension this adds to their relationships. A massive riot at Carandiru left 111 inmates dead at the hands of the guards. The film was shot at the prison right before it was demolished in 2002. Featured prisoners inventions include weight lifting equipment made from heavy water bottles attached to wooden poles, and an inmate who creates stunning 'hot air balloons' out of extremely thin paper sacks. These 'balloons' lift off the ground by a payload that is ignited to produce smoke.

Being in debt doesn't feel good – and I should know. I've been paying off debt for almost 7 years, and have at least another 3 years to go. It's easy to get frustrated, and lose steam when it feels like you are never going to get out of it.
But if you stay focused and pay as much as you can toward debt, one day you will actually be debt free.
Read more of my post on GoGirl Finance.
Loved the bit about breaking down the debt into easy to process pieces.
That's been the secret to my success!

Here's some quirky Alameda history for you: Sixty years ago today Mayor M. Leslie Downing of Englewood, N.J. dialed the first customer-dialed, long-distance telephone call using area codes. And who did he call? Alameda's Mayor Frank Osborne.
The first transcontinental call had been made 36 years earlier — but it took five operators 23 minutes to organize the call from San Francisco to New York (hope they had good hold music).
Over time, as technology improved, the number of operators needed to complete long-distance calls dropped. But the 1951 introduction of area codes and "direct dialing" meant that customers no longer needed to go through any operator at all.
I couldn't find anything about what Mayor Downing and Mayor Osborne discussed. Bet it was the weather. Or maybe they marvelled over the fact that Alameda also had become the terminus of the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869.
We may be small but we have good history.

What are interdisciplinary studies?
The University of Iceland is strategically positioned in the domestic higher education arena, offering highly diverse studies, allowing students to blend subjects from different disciplines, thereby attaining a unique education.
Demand for individuals with a diverse education is constantly growing, and the University of Iceland has responded to this evolution by making it easier for students to study more than one subject, and by offering various interdisciplinary programmes.
The interdisciplinary programmes are not the responsibility of a particular school or faculty, as several faculties contribute to the programmes. Students undertaking interdisciplinary studies can in most cases select the faculty they would like to graduate from, thereby determining the emphasis of their studies. However, this depends on programme regulations in each case, as well as an agreement made by the contributing faculties.
The university offers a number of interdisciplinary programmes at the postgraduate level:
- Applied Statistics, Master's, 120 ECTS
- Environment and Natural Resources, Master's, 120 ECTS
- Environment and Natural Resources, Doctorate, 180 ECTS
- Finance, M.Fin., 90 ECTS
- Marine Science, Master's, 120 ECTS
- Nordic Master in Gerontology, 120 ECTS
- Public Health Sciences, Master's, 120 ECTS
- Public Health Sciences, Doctorate, 180 ECTS
- Sexology, Diploma, 30 ECTS
- Speech Pathology, Master's, 120 ECTS
- Tax Law and Accounting, Master's, 90 and 120 ECTS
- Upper Secondary School Teaching, Masters and Postgraduate Diploma
- Viking and Medieval Norse Studies, Master's, 120 ECTS
Further information on the interdisciplinary programmes is available in the Course Catalogue.

|[en] Bisphosphonates are the most widely prescribed drugs in osteoporosis today. They have unequivocally shown their ability to reduce fracture rate at the spine (alendronic acid, risedronic acid, ibandronic acid) and at the hip (alendronic acid and risedronic acid). However, their dosage and administration procedures and the adverse reactions induced by their oral intake are responsible for low adherence. Therefore, intermittent regimens have been developed. Weekly alendronic acid and risedronic acid provide similar benefits, in terms of bone mineral density (BMD) and changes in biochemical markers, as those seen with their daily formulations. Ibandronic acid has been shown to reduce vertebral fractures when given intermittently. Ibandronic acid given orally monthly and intravenously every 2 or 3 months provides increases in BMD similar to the daily formulation. Yearly intravenous infusions of zoledronic acid are currently being evaluated for their ability to reduce fractures. If the efficacy and safety of bisphosphonates given at administration intervals longer than weekly are confirmed, this might significantly improve patient adherence and long-term outcomes of bisphosphonate treatment in postmenopausal osteoporosis.

On March 2nd, 2017, I decided to be wrong.
More concretely, I decided to give up being right for Lent. I was motivated by several different things, both abstract and pragmatic. There was my frustration with what I see as a potentially fatal barrier to productive discourse in American society today—widespread self-righteousness—and my desire to change it. There was my interest in how philosophical concepts like self-doubt and self-righteousness interact with religion. And there was my identity as a translator.
Wait, you may be thinking, what does being a translator have to do with any of this?
Well, I'm glad you asked! This is a translation blog, after all. And my view is that a healthy, consciously wielded self-doubt sits squarely at the heart of the translator's best practices.
Less than a year after I turned translation from my hobby into my profession, I was put in charge of reviewing other anime translators' work. I was so young—just 23!—and so unestablished that this was a pretty shocking development. I mean, I knew translation was the career for me, but I didn't think I'd already achieved unparalleled genius in the field or anything. I'm sure that if any of the people whose work I was correcting back then learned my age, they were quite shocked too, if not actively offended.
As it turned out, the fact that I didn't think I'd achieved genius is exactly what made me a good reviewer. In the beginning, when I looked at a translation of anything more complex than sentences like "Please" and "Thank you," I'd try to verify, because I didn't trust my own authority over the other translators' in any inherent way. I looked up words. I looked up all the words, including the words I already knew. I reread my grammar books to make sure I wasn't misremembering obscure usages. I asked my mentor when I wasn't sure I'd figured something out correctly. And I rapidly discovered that this is exactly what the people whose work I reviewed weren't doing, and therefore the work was riddled with errors. And so I learned that the self-doubt I felt wasn't just "beginner's jitters" that more time in the career should alleviate. Instead, it was the most powerful tool a translator can have at her disposal. When we know how easily we can be wrong, we take the steps to try to be less wrong. It might take a few days of bravery to really internalize that you're constantly teetering on the edge of wrongness, but once you get there, it's not only empowering: it's an enormous relief.
You can't be both a good translator and a self-righteous translator. It's just not a thing.
Human fallibility, on the other hand, is definitely a thing.
So in the last couple of years, as I've seen self-righteousness overcome more and more of society in our religious, political, and social conversations and realized how little we are willing to listen to each other from that place of "healthy, consciously wielded self-doubt" so that we can truly understand and solve problems, the more I've thought that this wrongness principle should apply outside of translation. It should apply to our lives across the board: humans are fallible, which means we could be wrong in our convictions at any time. My premise, then, at the beginning of my Lenten experiment was, "You can't really see the truth about anything until you acknowledge that you might not have looked at it properly yet."
Since I want to see everyone practice this, I started by trying to practice it myself. I wrote several friends-only follow-ups on Facebook throughout Lent, and promised to write up my notes on the whole experience at the end… which is what I'm doing now.
So, how did it go and what did I learn?

Austrian Felix Baumgartner has become the first skydiver to go faster than the speed of sound, reaching a maximum velocity of 833.9mph (1,342km/h). In jumping out of a balloon 128,100ft (24 miles; 39km) above New Mexico, the 43-year-old also smashed the record for the highest ever freefall.
He said he almost aborted the dive because his helmet visor fogged up. It took just under 10 minutes for him to descend. Only the last few thousand feet were negotiated by parachute. Once down, he fell to his knees and raised his fists in triumph. Helicopter recovery teams were on hand moments later.
'You become so humble'
"Let me tell you – when I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble. You don't think about breaking records anymore, you don't think about gaining scientific data – the only thing that you want is to come back alive," he said afterwards at a media conference.
There was concern early in the dive that Baumgartner was in trouble. He was supposed to get himself into a delta position – head down, arms swept back – as soon as possible after leaving his capsule. But the video showed him tumbling over and over. Eventually, however, he was able to use his great experience, from more than 2,500 career dives, to correct his fall and get into a stable configuration. Others who have tried to break the records have lost their lives in the process.
'Invaluable data'
Baumgartner's team built him a special pressurized capsule to protect him on the way up, and for his descent he wore a next generation, full pressure suit made by the same company that prepares the flight suits of astronauts. The researchers on the Red Bull Stratos project say it has already provided invaluable data for the development of high-performance, high-altitude parachute systems, and that the lessons learned will inform the development of new ideas for emergency evacuation from vehicles, such as spacecraft, passing through the stratosphere.
Were you among those who watched in awe and tension as Felix Baumgartner took his record-breaking space dive? Share your thoughts about this daredevil scientific stunt!

Wilson's 18 lead No. 1 South Carolina to 79-61 victory
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina showed again how those waiting for the Gamecocks to crack under the pressure of No. 1 might have a while to go.
Freshman A'ja Wilson scored 18 points, defending Southeastern Conference player of the year Tiffany Mitchell added 16 points and Alaina Coates had 12 points and 11 rebounds as South Carolina remained unbeaten with a 79-61 victory over 12th-ranked Texas A&M on Monday night.
The Gamecocks (19-0, 7-0 SEC), who remained on top of the rankings for a 10th straight poll earlier Monday, put away the Aggies with a 27-8 run in the second half after seeing their double-digit lead shrink to 40-38. That's when Mitchell made four consecutive free throws to start the run. She added four more points and Coates scored six points as South Carolina took control.
It was the Gamecocks fourth win over a ranked opponent this season and second against another powerhouse program in the SEC after a 68-60 win over then 10th-ranked Kentucky on Jan. 11.
"I don't think we get too caught up in all of that," Mitchell said. "We know at the end of the day we want to be the top team in the country. If we just keep going, we know that's going to happen."
The Gamecocks showed that against the Aggies (16-5, 4-3) with runs of 14-0 in the first half to take control and a 27-8 run after Texas A&M had rallied to get within 40-38 with almost 17 minutes to go.
"When everyone executes their role, that's what happens," Mitchell said.
South Carolina had been 0-3 all-time against the Aggies, including a 50-48 loss here two years ago that was the Gamecocks last loss at the Colonial Life Arena. But the Aggies struggled shooting as 14-point-a-game scorer Courtney Williams was 3 of 21 from the field.
Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said Williams faded when she didn't get some early foul calls on missed shots. "But she's got to quit whining and make those shots," Blair said of his junior forward. "You've got to play big girl basketball when you play in the SEC."
Achiri Ade led Texas A&M with 15 points. Courtney Walker, the SEC's fifth-leading scorer, had 10 points, nearly five fewer than her average.
Aleighsa Welch was South Carolina's fourth player in double figures, the senior starter scoring 12 before fouling out in the second half.
Coates, last year's SEC freshman of the year, had her eighth game this season with double figure points and rebounds. Wilson, the 6-foot-5 forward, had nine rebounds and two blocks for the Gamecocks.
South Carolina hasn't had too many problems in SEC play, winning its six previous games by an average of 21 points and just once letting the opponent reach 60 points.
The Aggies opened the used a 7-1 run at the start of the second half to cut the lead to 40-38 before South Carolina's back-breaking run.
Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said he clearly broke the rules late in the game when he walked way out on the court to talk with an official and was called for his first technical in three years. "I wanted some attention," he joked.
South Carolina's bench outscored the reserves of Texas A&M 41-8. Of course, it helps when the Gamecocks can bring 6-foot-5 Wilson and the 6-4 Coates, last year's SEC freshman of the year, in as subs. Wilson says they've embraced their roles as the Gamecocks chase a championship.
Texas A&M's Blair told the Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley how to handle the big matchup with the Huskies in two weeks. "I told Dawn if she would go inside like she did against us against Connecticut, she's got a great chance," he said.
Texas A&M: Aggies athletic director Eric Hyman held the same job at South Carolina for seven years. He hired Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley away from Temple after the 2007-08 season.
South Carolina: The Gamecocks won their 27th straight at home, tying Connecticut for the nation's longest active streak. No. 1 South Carolina plays at the second-ranked Huskies on Feb. 9.
Texas A&M: returns home to play Auburn on Sunday
South Carolina: continues its homestand Thursday night against Alabama.

Anyone who has been blogging for a decent amount of time would know that while it's relatively easy to bring in visitors by writing about the topics people search for, it is quite difficult to make them stay on your blog. However if you work hard to improve the end-user experience and make your blog visitor friendly, then you will notice that people would start getting hooked onto your site.
Here are some tips that have worked effectively for me in reducing the bounce rate by over 20 percent on my blogs, and can do the same for you if implemented properly:
1. Improve Your Design
As in many other aspects of life, the first impression is the last impression. So you should strive to create an engaging design that captures the attention of your readers and gives them a professional feel about your blog. The best advice would be to keep your design as neat & clean as possible, with a clear navigation that enables visitors to check out the other posts easily.
Don't Miss : Tips to Choose the Right Look for your Website
2. Improve Your Loading Time
The loading time of your blog is another important factor that influences the bounce rate. If your blog has too many widgets & plugins, then it will naturally take some time to load, which may put off certain readers and they might leave your blog without reading any of your posts.
Try to keep the number of plugins to the minimum and deactivate any unnecessary plugins that you may have enabled. Also make sure that a caching plugin is installed to reduce the size of your pages and improve the loading time.

3. Use Attention Grabbing Headlines
Most bloggers tend to use simple headlines that do not ring a bell in the heads of the readers. On the other hand, some bloggers use catchy phrases in their headlines which instantly grab the attention of readers and makes them instantly want to read the article.
Even if you notice this post, the headline could have been "How to Reduce the Bounce Rate of Your blog", but I purposely used a much more catchy headline "7 Effective Tips to Reduce the Bounce Rate of Your Blog". It sounds much better, doesn't it? 😉
Don't Miss : How to Write Great Content that People Will Read
4. Make Your Posts Error Free
If your readers encounter grammatical mistakes or misused phrases in your posts, they are likely to leave your blog without reading any other posts, so you should ensure that your each and every post should be error-free and grammatically correct. Also make it a point to read the posts before publishing them as you will be able to correct any typos or missing words in them.
5. Interlink Your Posts
Most of the readers are generally quite lazy, and tend not to browse any blog for too long, unless they are given an initiative to do so. What this means is that the onus is on you to make sure your readers want to read more of your content.
The best way to do this is by interlinking certain keywords in your post to other posts on your blog. You can either do this manually, or use a plugin called SeoSmartLinks which automatically creates internal links in your posts.
6. Reduce the Number of Ads
Though you need not remove ads entirely from your blog, you should try to place them in such a way that they do not lead to a bad reader experience. Also, pop-ups, pop-downs and other irritating ad types should never be used or the first time readers would most likely never come back to your blog ever again as these types of ads tend to be quite intrusive for readers.
7. Open External Links in New Window
This is a smart trick that most bloggers forget to implement. If you have a habit of linking to other websites/blogs in your posts, you should add target="_blank" to make the links open in a new window so that the readers stay on the post they are reading on your blog.
If you implement all of the above tips, then you will certainly notice a vast improvement in your blog's bounce rate.

Mess+Noise interview: The Grates: 'It Was Time To Come Clean', June 2011
I interview Patience Hodgson of The Grates for Australian music website, Mess+Noise. Excerpt below. I'd heard Patience Hodgson enjoys a chat, and I recently found out for myself the full force of her untethered tongue.

Young kids stealing...Help!
I have 2 very young boys age 6 and 8 who LOVE to steal. I have tried talking to them about stealing like why it's very bad to steal and what the consequences can be when they get older, spankings, grounding, time-out. Nothing seems to work . I have caught them with the stolen items a few times while we were still at the store, and have made them go to the manager on duty to give it back to them. Still doesn't phase them any. Even 'patting-them-down' AT the store doesn't work either. ANy suggestions? I don't want them to grow up and be like their father (who btw is not with me anymore, left him when my boys were a few years old) Their father just recently had a talk with my boys and told them that it is a very bad thing to do and that he knows because he did that when he was younger and he went to jail... and so on. Some help would be great appreciated!!
I agree. It will scare them straight! At least we hope! Sorry your dealing with this.
Quoting mom2gr8tgirls:
Call the police on them. Let them get caught. Maybe they just need to get caught by an authority figure. A store manager isn't that scary. Also, it could be that they're stealing for attention. Especially if they know they're going to get caught. My sister is a huge thief. And she's even teaching her DD to do it (that's a whole 'nother story). Nothing my mom ever did stopped her, she's even been arrested and sat jail time for it. Good luck!

Elegant, lightweight alloys complement the stylish looks.
Find your way and beat the traffic with satellite navigation[N1] and SUNA™[G7] traffic channel
Choose your perfect level of air conditioning with push button ease
Nippy round town, yet powerful enough for the highway, Yaris delivers great performance and exceptional fuel economy.
VVT-i technology automatically adjusts the engine's timing to ensure it is always operating at its most efficient, whatever the driving conditions. Yaris Ascent comes with a 1.3L engine, while ZR and SX grades offer 1.5L for added power.
Yaris comes with either a light-weight and responsive auto transmission, or the smooth-shift feeling of manual on Ascent and SX models, for outstanding performance.
Take the stress out of long journeys. Cruise control comes as standard across all Yaris grades.
With light steering and a small turning circle, city parking is no challenge for Yaris.
Change the song with a single tap. All Yaris grades come with a 6.1" colour touchscreen with split-screen functionality so you can complete more than one task at a time.

Yaris is big on safety with a wide range of advanced technologies working together to help keep you safe on the road.

Unusual for a small car, Yaris boasts seven airbags, giving you and your passengers high protection and peace of mind.
TSS works to help drivers avoid frontal collisions, keep them within their lane, and enhance road safety during nighttime driving. TSS includes a Pre-Collision Safety System (PCS)[B4], Lane Departure Alert (LDA)[B4] and Automatic High Beam (AHB)[B4], which comes standard on ZR and is optional on all other grades.
The capped price of $140 extends for each of the first six eligible logbook services, in your first 3 years of ownership or the first 60,000km, whichever occurs first.[T1]
Toyota Access[T14] is a smarter way to buy a car which gives you the peace of mind of a Guaranteed Future Value, the flexibility to choose your deposit and loan term plus the option to trade, keep or return your car at the end of the term.
For added peace of mind every new Yaris car is proudly backed by a 3 year/100,000km [T4] car warranty (whichever occurs first).
Sourced from Toyota Europe, Toyota Genuine Alloy Wheels add individual style to Yaris without compromising on the quality and durability that the Toyota testing regime provides. Available in 15 inch, Toyota Genuine Alloy Wheels are manufactured from single piece cast alloy to ensure maximum strength. Put through the same rigorous testing regime as the standard alloy wheels, these rims are stress-tested to ensure they don't bend or corrode and are durable enough to survive on the roughest Australian roads.
The Toyota Genuine Bonnet Protector protects the paintwork on the bonnet of your Yaris from stone chips and other damage.
The Australian-made Toyota Genuine Headlamp Covers protect your Yaris headlamps from insects, stone chips and other assorted flying debris.
Toyota Genuine Mudguards are moulded to fit the lines of your Yaris seamlessly, minimising the chance of damage from mud and stones that can be flicked up from your tyres while driving.
This stylish Rear Bumper Protection Plate protects the surface of your Yaris' bumper from scratches and other damage when you're loading and unloading the cargo area.
Toyota Genuine Weathershields are designed to deflect wind and rain so you can wind your windows down without being exposed to the elements. Made from UV-resistant acrylic, the Genuine Weathershields are engineered for durability and are lightly tinted. Australian-made and designed specifically for Yaris.
Each Weathershield sold separately.
The Front Corner Park Assist[B4] has a 2-head colour coded sensor system which will help you judge how close an object is to the front corner of your car. An audible beep helps alert you to obstacles which may be outside of your field of vision.
When mounted to the rear bumper of your Yaris, the Rear Park Assist[B4] can help guide you into the tightest spots. Two colour-coded ultrasonic sensors are mounted in the rear bumper and an audible beep increases in frequency as your Yaris gets closer to an obstacle.

I think it is a bit ridiculous that we are all gathering in this forum about something so core to an operating system that it is approaching shameful that it is not there. No operating system should be packaged without a workable network browser integral to its file management system. That is the problem with Xubuntu, which is, in all other respects, an excellent system for lightweight older machines.
Fuse and SMB worked back in 8.04 (if not quite elegantly or seamlessly). I have pinned the libsmbclient from 8.04 in my package manager but that is the only way I have gotten the whole thing to work for me in 8.10. The Gigolo thing in 9.04 simply is a failure.
Why can't someone from Canonical or other linux high-level pros write an update for Thunar with network browsing and file sharing that really WORKS?? This is a real sticking point which will drive us back to M$.

New Pillows for the New Year
Pillows are the easiest way to switch up your rooms, and also a big bang-for-your-buck.
We recommend buying standard sized feather-down pillow inserts for extra luxury and comfort. They will serve you for years, and are very reasonable. Crate & Barrel have a nice assortment, and offer a $4.95 flat-rate shipping fee. 18″ and 20″ are the most popular pillow cover sizes around.
Now for the fun part:
target orange grosgrain $24.99 (whole pillow).
grey ikat 18″ pillow covers, set of two $38.
trina turk orange arches 18″ pillow cover $55.
multi-zig-zag in gray 18″ pillow cover $35.
orange velvet 20″ pillow cover $40.
crate + barrel grey chevron 18″ pillow $29.95 (comes with feather-down insert)
It's apparent that I have a major orange crush! What colors and designs are you drawn to right now?

Lesions at the junction of the optic nerve and optic chiasm may produce a characteristic visual field defect. Ipsilateral optic nerve involvement results in a central scotoma. The fibers from the inferonasal retina of the contralateral eye may loop anteriorly for a short distance in the ipsilateral optic nerve (known as Wilbrand's knee). Involvement of Wilbrand's knee produces a supero-temporal scotoma in the contralateral eye.
The combination of ipsilateral central scotoma and contralateral supero-temporal scotoma is known as a junctional scotoma. The cause should be assumed to be a compressive lesion at the junction of the optic nerve and chiasm until proven otherwise. Caveat: some have questioned whether the phenomenon of Wilbrand's knee is an artifact of anatomical preparation or eye enculeation, however.

Adding rings to planets
I have made the rings of each planet available as PDF documents, free to download, correctly sized, ready to be printed.
The documents each come in two versions;
- a version of the rings for printing on regular (opaque) paper,
- and an alternative version for printing onto transparency or sheets of clear printer film, where the density of the rings determine the visibility/opacity of the ring on the transparency.
To create the Saturn rings pictured above - transparent rings - I printed onto clear transparency, used scissors to cut along the outside rim of the rings, then sandwiched the rings between the hemispheres of the planet. You can glue the hemispheres in place, but I chose to instead glue magnets into each hemisphere, so that they would lock tightly together holding the rings in place, but could be easily separated whenever I wanted to switch the transparent rings for opaque rings.
To create opaque rings, the quick and simple way is to print them out and sandwich them as above.
But you can get much better results by printing the rings out twice, onto adhesive (sticker) paper. Then cut them both out, cutting not just around the outer rim, but also cutting out along the inner rim, so that you cut a big hole out of the middle. This way you can stick them onto each side of a sheet of clear plastic (eg the transparency sheet used for transparent rings), creating a double-sided printed set of rings with a clear plastic center, which can be sandwiched between planet hemispheres as above, making the rings appear to float around the planet. (As a final touch, I use a black marker pen to ink in the edge of the paper where the scissors cut to remove the white line of the paper's edge.)

(If you have a sharp eye you might notice that the page dimensions of these documents is slightly smaller than a full page. This is so that it will print correctly regardless of whether you are using "A4" (metric) size paper or "Letter" (American) size paper. Print any of these PDFs full size and they will fit on your region's standard paper and the rings will be perfectly scaled for the scale Solar System planets.)
Opaque rings. Saturn's rings are a printout sitting on top of the acrylic rings that come with the display stand. Uranus and Neptune's rings were printed onto adhesive label and stuck onto clear film so as to appear to be floating/orbiting around their planet.

A little refresher for you guys....
#SundaySupper is an amazing group of bloggers who post every Sunday (um, of course!) with a specific theme. It's a great group and it is something I've always enjoyed being part of.
The theme this week is Easy Holiday Entertaining and our hosts are The Complete Savorist and Lifestyle Food Artistry. {see bottom of post for more info}
One of my favorite dishes to bring for a holiday is dip. Most dip recipes are pretty easy to toss together and easy to transport. We are always traveling for the holidays, so, transportable food is a must.
Another reason it's my favorite? I love dip and could eat it nearly every day. OK, maybe not everyday, but, more than your average person should consume it. Holidays are the perfect time for me to indulge in my dip love.
This dip totally fits the bill as easy. You just need a few ingredients and it only takes 30 minutes in your oven. You get you creamy cheesy dip, plus, an added flavor kick with the buffalo sauce. Goes great with nacho chips or cold veggies.
It will be a total winner at your holiday party!
{small side note: I used a 1/2 cup of buffalo sauce for our dip, but, if you want a bit more heat, go with a whole cup. Just increase your chicken to 2 cups}
{linking up to Weekend Potluck}
Ranch Buffalo Chicken Dip
Prep Time: 00:10
Cook Time: 00:30
Ingredients (Serves: 8-10)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterrey jack cheese
- tortilla chips for serving
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a bowl, mix ranch dressing,cream cheese and yogurt until well combined. Spread on the bottom of a 9 in pie plate. An 8 in baking dish will also work.
In a separate bowl, mix together chicken and buffalo sauce. Sprinkle buffalo chicken on top of cream cheese mixture.
Then, top it all with both shredded cheeses.
Bake for 25-35 minutes or until bubbly.
Serve with tortilla chips.

Hi! I'm trying to find the MLE-estimator for a logit model, According to a paper I'm reading, the following is true:
and then you go on with taking the log, calculating the first derivate and then maximizing.
But what I don't understand is how and why you can simplify the first expression into the second. Can someone please help explaining?
My suggestion was to directly take the log of the first expression and receive:
ln L =
but maybe that's not the right way to do it?
Thanks for your help.

Backup and Restore DesktopServer
Backing up your live website regularly is vital. Backing up your local sites is too. DekstopServer can be a go to backup if your site were to get hacked or become dysfunctional and you needed to restore it quickly. Because you have a copy of the site locally you can deploy it quickly.
There are two ways to backup your sites in DesktopServer:
- Single sites can be backed up separately by just using DesktopServer's export feature. You do not need to fill anything out, simply select your website and click "next" repeatedly until a .zip file is produced. The resulting file has the advantage of being truly portable and cross platform. The resulting zip file can be used to restore your site or to move it to an entirely different system.
- You can also backup the entire DesktopServer program and all created sites. However, this type of backup is intended for restoring only to the same computer, or at the very least the same operating system.
