Last month, there were several reports claiming that the couple got engaged, and now Us Weekly is confirming the news. According to the mag, JT got down on one knee while vacationing with Jessica in Wyoming in late December.
"Justin knows how much she loves snowboarding and the mountains, so it was the perfect place," an insider says.
Sure, the couple had a three-month split in 2011, but it looks like they're in it for the long haul now. A source close to Justin says the Grammy winner has "never been happier" with his leading lady, adding, "He knew it was the right time to propose."
Are you psyched for Justin and Jessica? Do you think their marriage will last? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

The Center for Employment & Economic Well-Being is building a community of practice with APHSA members, national policy makers, employers, researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders to advance policy and program innovations in workforce engagement. Presently, human services agencies have too few tools at their disposal to design and execute practical and affordable engagement programs on a broad scale. However, with more focused connections and a better toolkit, states and localities can move more people into gainful employment.
The CEEWB has identified several areas of workforce engagement that present opportunities for new and budding innovations that will advance impactful workforce engagement efforts and help more workers move toward gainful employment, self-sufficiency, and health and wellbeing:
Leveraging Job Sector and Industry Growth
Place-Conscious Approach to Workforce Engagement
Microenterprise as a Path to Self-Sufficiency
Whole Family Approach to Workforce Engagement
Utilizing Our Understanding of Brain Science to Strengthen Workforce Engagement

sd card question
(I could just do this and find out, but I don't want to mess up anything.)
If I use the same memory card from my a57 to my a77 without formatting the card will the card record the next photo as the next number photo or will the memory card recognize a different camera and change the number on the photo file to whatever number is next on my camera?
I haven't labeled my sd cards and I need to know if I get them mixed up do I have to format them in the camera? So that I can keep track of the number of photos taken with each separate camera.
Or is my question totally being misunderstood?
The file structure is the same in both sony cameras.... it may ask you to rebuild the database, but unlikely unless swapping between brands or between APS-C and Full Frame. The naming scheme will continue from where it left off in my experience, regardless of the Sony camera body.
While shooting, work out a system to know which card is full or not, or dedicate a specific card to each camera. Worst case scenario, if they get mixed up just organize the files later on your computer by camera model. Alternately, if you are looking at your images on your A57, you will not be able to magnify any of the images from the A77 as they will be too high resolution for the A57 to display... identifying your A77 images, albeit not the easiest way
Just keep the cards straight and shoot, worry about it later in the computer!
Also, if you get them mixed up, the camera used will show up in the exif data.
Good luck and happy shooting!

Admittedly, my mind works in weird ways. When I saw the templates chosen for this mash-up, all I could see was turkey feathers! I had just come across a photo taken on the first Thanksgiving that I cooked, so that's where this challenge lead me.
Journaling ( I seem to be stuck in older photos and memories lately!) :
In 1976, we put an addition on our Westfield house. It was 21 feet by 24 feet and included a family room and a dining room. They were open with just a step and railing in between. Since we now had this big area for entertaining, we decided to host Thanksgiving for both of our families. It was my very first time cooking thanksgiving dinner and it was for eleven people, including my mother and my mother-in-law! I think I did a pretty good job with the dinner. I made my mother's traditional cornbread dressing and baked four pumpkin pies. Mother brought her Waldorf salad and stuffed celery. Grandma Weber brought my favorite perfection salad with fruit and marshmallows. Debbie made "corn pone" and we teased her about it mercilessly! While I took the food out of the oven, my mother grabbed the camera to record my first Thanksgiving dinner. I'm so glad she did! What a proud and memorable event this was for me.

The Entombment of Christ
Buy a print of 'The Entombment of Christ '
The Entombment of Christ
by Caravaggio
Oil on canvas dimensions 300 × 203 cm The Entombment of Christ (16021603) is a painting by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. It was painted for Santa Maria in Vallicella, a church built for the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri, and adjacent to the buildings of the order. A copy of the painting is now in the chapel. The painting was originally commissioned by Alessandro Vittrice in 1601, and completed by two years later. Now it is among the treasures of the Vatican Pinacoteca. While there is much in this representation that was revolutionary for Caravaggio's time, it is not clear that the highly naturalistic reconstruction of a gospel event in this painting would have been antithetical to the vividly faithful Oratorians, who sought to relive experiences through prayer. Even near contemporary critics of Caravaggio and his style, such as Baglione and Bellori, admired this painting. This counter-reformation painting with a diagonal cascade of mourners and cadaver-bearers descending to the limp, dead Christ and the bare stone is not a moment of transfiguration, but of mourning. As the viewer's eye descends from the gloom there is, too, a descent from the hysteria of Mary of Cleophas through subdued emotion to death as the final emotional silencing. Unlike the gored post-crucifixion Jesus in morbid Spanish displays, Italian Christs die generally bloodlessly, and slump in a geometrically challenging display. As if emphasizing the dead Christ's inability to feel pain, a hand enters the wound at his side. While faces are important in painting generally, in Caravaggio it is important always to note where the arms are pointing. Skyward in the The Conversion of Saint Paul on the Road to Damascus, towards Levi in The Calling of Saint Matthew. Here, the dead God's fallen arm and immaculate shroud touch stone; the grieving Mary gesticulates to Heaven. In some ways, that was the message of Christ: God come to earth, and mankind reconciled with the heavens. As usual, even with his works of highest devotion, Caravaggio never fails to ground himself.

Firefox 3 RC1 Portable Now Available
Last week, I installed Firefox 3 RC1 to give it a try. After trying it, when I uninstalled it, unfortunately, it wiped out all of my Firefox profile. Mozilla said FF3 RC1 won't disrupt my current installation, but it did! All my history, bookmarks, settings, saved-passwords etc. were gone. Luckily, I had an up-to-date backup, so I recovered everything back. If anyone of you also had similar problems, but still want to use Firefox 3 RC1, along with Firefox 2, I found the perfect solution for that.
Firefox 3 Release Candidate 1 Released
I was just discussing this yesterday, about the Firefox 3 RC1 given on the Mozilla FTP. And look, here we have the RC1 announced by Mozilla team today. Wondering what's new? Check out the release notes for this.
Many fixes and improvements have been made to improve security, and performance. Including fixes for stability and web-compatibility. One major change that you will all notice is the change in the user-interface. Looks like Mozilla heard my shout! "I want a better default theme!" :P
Is Firefox 3 RC1 Ready?
I've been keeping an eye on the main Firefox releases FTP site. When I checked it yesterday, I noticed a new folder 3.0rc1 there. And guess what, when I checked it for any new releases, I found Firefox 3 Release Candidate 1, which is expected to release by the end of May.
(Screenshot taken from Firefox 3 RC1)ÂÂ
As Mozilla has said before, if they don't find any ground-breaking bugs in RC1, then this can be considered as the final release. So what do you think, is this actually Firefox 3 RC1, or a beta version of Firefox RC1? :P

Ottawa bridal shop McCaffrey Haute Couture files for bankruptcy
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Tuesday, July 21, 2015 2:29PM EDT
Last Updated Tuesday, July 21, 2015 8:06PM EDT
The countdown to Trinity Noble's wedding is nearing three weeks.
But as of Monday morning, the bride-to-be is out of a dress after one of Ottawa's finest bridal shops, McCaffrey Haute Couture, shuttered its doors and declared bankruptcy.
"It's a big deal. Your wedding day is a big day, so something like this is shocking and you're scared. You're wondering, 'Am I going to have a dress?'" Noble told CTV Ottawa.
The store, on Sussex Drive in downtown Ottawa, filed for bankruptcy on July 20, according to a notice on their window from Ginsberg Gingras bankruptcy service.
For 18 years, the shop has attracted clientele across Canada and around the world.
But the store's owner, David McCaffrey, says a decrease in business due to construction and scaffolding in the area is responsible for the closure.
Chantal Gingras, president and trustee at Ginsberg and Gingras, the company handling the file, said McCaffrey Haute Couture owes creditors about $400,000.
There were 70 brides who had ordered their dresses from McCaffrey's for their weddings this summer, Gingras told CTV Ottawa.
Of those brides, 50 will still be receiving their gowns.
But that leaves another 20 brides without dresses for their weddings later in the summer and early in the fall.
Gingras said the women may have to look elsewhere for new dresses and could also have trouble getting their money refunded.
"If they can't get their money back from the credit card company, they will have lost their money," Gingras told CTV Ottawa.
"They will not have the dress they had originally ordered, but they will still have time to buy a dress off the rack somewhere or get a dress made somewhere else," she added.
Other women who found their dream wedding dress at the store have also had their hopes dashed.
Indira Thackorie's wedding is a few months away, but she had been eyeing a beautiful wedding gown in the window at McCaffrey Haute Couture. But on Tuesday, the dress had been removed, along with all of the other merchandise at the store.
"I came to check it out in between meetings and it's gone. The window's empty so it's very disappointing," said Thackorie.
The manager of a neighbouring store says her business has also been affected by the construction in the area.
"It made a huge negative impact, 46 per cent of traffic decreased," said Cathy Matovu, manager of Ca Va de Soi.
Former owner 'disappointed'
Former owner and designer of the store Justina McCaffrey told CTVNews.ca that she was "disappointed and sad" to hear the news of the store's closure.
Justina McCaffrey parted ways from the store in 2008 after splitting from her then-husband and business partner David McCaffrey.
A year earlier, the store then known as Justina McCaffrey closed its Gatineau, Que., factory and declared bankruptcy.
Another McCaffrey Haute Couture store located on Yorkville Avenue in Toronto closed soon after her departure from the business, she said, adding that she has had no connection to the store since then.
Justina McCaffrey is now designing dresses for her own firm called Justina Bridal.
A local fashion designer says that increased competition from high-end stores may have also contributed to the bridal store's downfall.
"Simons is coming in, Nordstrom is here … it's easier for people to park in the Rideau Centre. One stop and they do all their shopping," said Frank Sukhoo, owner of Sukhoo Sukhoo Couture.

Considering he may be the most enduring of Hollywood movie stars, Humphrey Bogart sure didn't look the part.
Even Lauren Bacall, his doting fourth wife, picked up on it, in their best movie together, "The Big Sleep":
Bacall: "You're a mess, aren't you?"
Bogart: "I'm not very tall either. Next time I'll come on stilts, wear a white tie and carry a tennis racket."
Bacall: "I doubt if even that will help."
The inside joke of that scene is that, before he was Hollywood's top tough guy - "Tough Without a Gun," as Stefan Kanfer's new biography describes him - he did carry a tennis racket. Bogart famously got his start playing juveniles in a string of less than successful Broadway plays, entering the scene more often as a narrative transition than a fully realized character to be reckoned with.
How he transformed himself into a star to be reckoned with - how became even a bigger star after his death from cancer in 1957 at the age of 57 - is Kanfer's focus. Unfortunately, the author never really manages to get Bogart himself into focus.
It doesn't help that Bogart's story has been told and retold. Born into a world of privilege but with distracted parents, he was from the first a rebel, as much out of boredom as principle. A middling stage career led to a middling movie career, then back to the stage, where he eventually landed the role of a desperate outlaw in "The Petrified Forest," which thanks to the support of co-star Leslie Howard got him back to Hollywood.
After that, it took years of supporting parts and ridiculous roles - you have to hear Bogie's Mexican accent in the Errol Flynn Western "Virginia City" to believe it - before he became a top-of-the-line star in 1941, with "High Sierra" and "The Maltese Falcon."
In quick order, Bogart played some of the most iconic figures in American moviedom: Sam Spade in "The Maltese Falcon," Rick in "Casablanca," Philip Marlowe in "The Big Sleep," Fred C. Dobbs in "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre," Charlie Allnut in "The African Queen," Captain Queeg in "The Caine Mutiny."
Along the way, he constantly fought with his bosses and made a very public showing of being his own man.
That's the Bogart persona that lives on: the hardened man of principle who, echoing (as Kanfer does, several times) Raymond Chandler's knight errant, goes down those mean streets "neither tarnished nor afraid."
But en route to those mean streets, Bogart does something that doesn't fit the script: He gives in. He goes on suspension rather than take substandard parts, but caves in when he's afraid he'll lose his job. He goes to Washington to stand by the Hollywood Ten, but when the hate mail comes in, he writes a high-profile article claiming he was duped.
In Kanfer's "and then he made" approach to Bogart's career, he never really gets the iconography and reality to match up. So, what you've got is a filmography seasoned with irony.
In an all too brief final chapter, Kanfer rounds up the varying ways in which Bogart lives on after his death, from inspiring French New Wave directors and Woody Allen to the cult that has grown up around "Casablanca."
Years later, Ingrid Bergman said of her "Casablanca" co-star, "I kissed him, but I never really knew him."
After "Tough Without a Gun," we don't know him a whole lot better.

Buskers Pub
Newport, R.I.
- |
Not long ago, Buskers was a Burger King. In the heart of the citys tourist district on Thames Street, it was bought in 2003 by Tommy Sheehan, who along with his wife had it renovated by Irish carpenters and soon racked up an award from the Irish Voice newspaper as one of the best Irish pubs in the country. From day one, people said it looked old, Sheehan said. The pub is dark and moody, with artifacts, bric-a-brac, and pictures all genuine Irish imports, most antique, some well over a century old. The long bar serves 18 draft beers, Irish and Scotch whiskies, and the dining area has tall booths with stained-glass tops. About the only thing lacking at the moment is live music, which is odd, Sheehan admitted with a laugh, for a place called Buskers a word that describes those who perform in public places. - PAUL E. KANDARIAN

A brief glance at world history proves that every empire has an expiration date. No matter how large or powerful it may be, no matter how long it rules, every superpower must eventually cede to time. And just like other celebrated conquerors of the past, Jazz—that wildly popular yet sophisticated amalgam of Western harmony, African rhythm, and American attitude—lived fully and fought bravely before succumbing to a young new villain, Rock & Roll, in the late 1970s.
Not all hope is lost, however. In small clubs and practice rooms all over the globe, masters young and old still fight the good fight, ensuring that arcane subjects like improvisation, instrumental mastery, and advanced harmony will never die. But to understand the true nature of jazz, you have to know how to search for the good stuff. And our subject this day, instrumental jazz trio The Bad Plus, is one of the leading purveyors of that good stuff.
Their major-label debut, These Are the Vistas (Columbia Records, 2003), took the world by storm with music that—as Wikipedia put it—"combines the improvisatory aspect and complexity of jazz with the power, attitude, and volume of rock." (Those jazz re-arrangements of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Heart of Glass"
were pretty ill as well!)
As The Bad Plus prepares to unveil their fifth album—their first with a guest vocalist—they continue to preserve the true nature of jazz while infusing hip-hop, rock, punk, and avant-garde flavors into a distinctive sound. We were lucky enough to catch up with them during a three-night stint at the Catalina Club in Los Angeles, where we took the opportunity to acquire a better understanding of this endangered species.

Journey to the Center of the Earth
What if…what if in the center of the earth it wasn't just a big core of molten rock (magma) but really just a magical world filled with dinosaurs and bioluminescent creatures of all shapes and sizes? And what if Encino Man (Brendan Frasier) went on a fantastic voyage through all of it? And what if they made a movie about it and put it all in 3-D? I bet it would be a lame story made for kids and "simple" adults with really, really good visual effects that would make it worth watching on your laptop as long as no one saw you do it. Dude. Jules Verne is rolling in his grave.

Tudur-Jones: Good Cup Draw Waiting For Us
Midfielder Owain Tudur-Jones says there is a good 4th round FA Cup draw waiting for them if they beat Histon.
Swansea City's 3rd round tie is still yet to be played (Tuesday 13th January) as the game was postponed on Saturday due to the freezing weather conditions.
If we beat Blue Square Premier side Histon, we'll face either Portsmouth or Bristol City away.
Tudur-Jones told BBC Sport:
|'Either way it is a good draw for us,'
'The possibility of playing the cup holders or a fairly local derby in the next round is one to look forward to.'
'I think we can be pretty pleased if we manage to get past Histon, as there's a good draw waiting for us,'
'It would have been preferable to have a home draw but who better to have than the current holders of the FA Cup.
'Either way it promises to be a pretty fierce game in an old fashioned-style stadium that is made for FA Cup occasions that would be rocking.
'That will be something to look forward to if we get past Histon and that is our main focus now as if we don't beat them, we won't be playing any of them.'
Tudur-Jones will be hoping to have a first team chance in the FA Cup after struggling to get in the line-up in the League.
Roberto Martinez is likely to make changes in the cup competition and the likes of Orlandi, MacDonald and Tudur-Jones could have their chances to impress.

When most people hear "lake monster" they think of the more popular creatures like Nessie , Champ, and Ogopogo among others but many of these require extensive travel for majority of people. But if you need a more budget conscious style of vacation that doesn't mean you still cant visit a lake monster near you. That's right why not just visit your own local lake monster chances are there is one a lot closer then you think.

California leads the way with a record four lake monster claims , followed by Minnesota with two.

Band Hero for Nintendo DS to feature drum peripheral, won't work with DSi
Band Hero is coming to the Nintendo DS this fall and, yes, you'll be able to play drums and, double yes, there will be an actual drum peripheral for your DS. Nothing too fancy, just something called the "drum grip" that fits over the DS' buttons and D-pad. Oh, and as luck would (not) have it, the drum grip won't work with the DSi. So there's that.

Special Notice for Adult Victims - The Three Year Window
Pursuant to the Child Victims Act, adult victims of childhood sexual abuse now have a three year window within which to bring claims against those responsible. This window applies to victims whose claims were previously barred by the prior statute of limitations. The window will close in May 2016. If you are an adult victim and you wish to pursue your claim, you should do so well in advance of the May 2016 deadline.
For more information on the statute of limitations in cases of sexual abuse please scroll down this page.
We help survivors of sexual abuse and sexual assault by giving them the opportunity to hold their abusers accountable. Using the law to hold a perpetrator of such abuse responsible for what he or she has done takes courage. While the experience of facing down one's abuser can be empowering for our clients, it is not an easy task. Those survivors who are willing to stand up and expose their perpetrators should be commended for their strength and resolve. They are the brave few who make it easier for other sex abuse victims to come forward. Those people who have the strength come forward make it harder for perpetrators to continue harming the children of our communities and operating "under the radar." Sexual abuse is a persistent and damaging problem in our society. Only by exposing abusers and forcing them to face justice can we bring about the change necessary to stop more abuse from occurring.
Our lawyers have secured some of the most substantial sexual abuse and sex assault victories in Minnesota state history. Recent results include a $10,500,000.00 verdict obtained by Michael Hall III, in which a Stearns County jury held an adult male responsible for having sexually abused his own niece. Another lawsuit handled by Mr. Hall involved a $4,000,000.00 judgment against a Northern Minnesota man who was found guilty of sexually abusing his two minor children. In July 2013, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Mr. Hall secured a $7,000,000.00 judgment against an adult male perpetrator who had been sexually abusing a teenage boy.
Sexual abuse cases present unique legal challenges that require the skill of an attorney experienced in this area of the law. The attorneys at Hall Law are experts in sexual abuse cases. Firm lawyers have litigated sex abuse claims in both Minnesota and California and have been holding perpetrators accountable for for years.
From our two main offices in Edina and St. Cloud we serve sex abuse clients statewide, from the Minneapolis metro, to Central and Northern Minnesota. If you're a survivor of sexual abuse, and you're wondering about your legal options, you are welcome to call our office for advice.
What is sexual abuse?
According to Minnesota law the term "sexual abuse" describes those physical acts which, if committed, would constitute criminal sexual conduct. Criminal sexual conduct includes an array of wrongful acts set forth in Minnesota statute sections 609.342 through 609.345. In this context it is probably not useful to recount all the different circumstances of sexual abuse contemplated by the statute. Instead, it is sufficient to note that sexual abuse typically involves either: (1) acts of intentional sexual contact or sexual penetration upon a minor, or (2) intentional, non-consensual, sexual contact or sexual penetration upon an adult. Non-consensual abuse can occur in a variety of contexts including situations involving force, coercion, or situations where the victim is mentally incapacitated and thus unable to give consent.
Unfortunately sexual abuse and sexual assault remain a significant problem in our society. Abuse can occur in multiple different venues including our schools, the work place, and even in our religious centers. Such abuse can take on many forms and can include acts such as rape, sexual assault, improper touching and/or fondling. Moreover, the perpetrators of such abuse can come from all different sectors of our society. By their very nature, acts of sexual abuse and sexual assault often remain secret and hidden from public scrutiny. As a result, those who perpetrate such acts often go on with their lives without ever being held responsible for their crimes. In recent years that phenomenon has been changing. More and more victims are coming forward and holding their attackers responsible for their actions in civil court.
what is the statute of limitations in sex abuse cases?
In May 2013 the Minnesota State Legislature passed a bill known as the Child Victims Act. The bill received overwhelming bipartisan support in both the Minnesota House and Senate, and was signed into law by Governor Dayton on May 24, 2013.
The historic bill changed Minnesota's statute of limitations applicable to civil claims for sexual abuse. Specifically, the new law expands the time-frame within which victims of childhood sexual abuse will be allowed to hold their perpetrators legally accountable, and makes it much more difficult for perpetrators of childhood sexual abuse to avoid justice by relying on the passage of time as a defense.
The language of the law passed in May 2013 is set forth as follows:
Subdivision 1. Definition. As used in this section,
(1) "sexual abuse" means conduct described in sections 609.342 to 609.3451; and
(2) "person" includes a natural person, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, organization, association, or other entity.
Subd. 2. Limitations period. (a) An action for damages based on sexual abuse must be commenced within six years of the alleged sexual abuse in the case of alleged sexual abuse of an individual 18 years or older; (2) may be commenced at any time in the case of alleged sexual abuse of an individual under the age of 18, except as provided for in subdivision 4; and (3) must be commenced before the plaintiff is 24 years of age in a claim against a natural person alleged to have sexually abused a minor when that natural person was under 14 years of age.
(b) The plaintiff need not establish which act in a continuous series of sexual abuse acts by the defendant caused the injury.
(c) This section does not affect the suspension of the statute of limitations during a period of disability under section 541.15.
Subd. 3. Applicability. This section applies to an action for damages commenced against a person who was a cause of the plaintiff's damages either by (1) committing sexual abuse against the plaintiff, or (2) negligence.
Subd. 4. Vicarious liability or respondeat superior claims. A claim for vicarious liability or liability under the doctrine of respondeat superior must be commenced within six years of the alleged sexual abuse, provided that if the plaintiff was under the age of 18 at the time of the alleged abuse, the claim must be commenced before the plaintiff is 24 years of age. This subdivision does not limit the availability of these claims under other law.
Subd. 5. Title. This section may be cited as the "Child Victims Act."
EFFECTIVE DATE; APPLICABILITY. (a) This section is effective the day following final enactment. Except as provided in paragraph (b), this section applies to actions that were not time-barred before the effective date.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in the case of alleged sexual abuse of an individual under the age of 18, if the action would otherwise be time-barred under a previous version of Minnesota Statutes, section 541.073, or other time limit, an action for damages against a person, as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 541.073, subdivision 1, clause (2), may be commenced no later than three years following the effective date of this section. This paragraph does not apply to a claim for vicarious liability or respondeat superior, but does apply to other claims, including negligence. This paragraph applies to actions pending on or commenced on or after the effective date.
If you have been sexually abused or assaulted and you have questions about how this law might apply to your situation, you are welcome to call our office for a free consultation.
The above discussion regarding the statute of limitations in sex abuse cases is accurate as of June 5, 2013. Laws change over time. If you are viewing this at a later date and you have questions about the statute of limitations for sex abuse claims you should consult a lawyer.
What legal options are available to a victim of sexual abuse?
In Minnesota, in the civil law context, a victim of sexual abuse may bring an action against (1) the person who committed sexual abuse against the victim, or (2) the entity which negligently permitted sexual abuse against the victim to occur. Thus, Minnesota law permits sexual abuse actions against both the actual abuser and against those who were in such a position that they could have and should have stopped the abuse from occurring.
Ramifications of Sexual Abuse
The residual effects of sexual abuse can develop and intensify over time. Symptoms which are common in survivors include: feelings of guilt, shame, helplessness and hopelessness. Victims of sexual abuse often turn to alcohol or drug dependence as a way to escape these feelings. Many sexual abuse survivors have problems in their personal relationships and in their careers.
Abuse survivors often suffer severe emotional harm requiring long term counseling and other forms of mental health treatment. If you are the victim of sexual abuse or sexual assault, we recommend you see a mental health professional so they can provide you with professional assistance as you work through the difficulties that abuse victims often face. We believe victims of sexual abuse are well served by establishing a relationship with a therapist so that in times of emotional crisis they have someone they can turn to.

Robert Randolph sure knows how to play the pedal-steel guitar. But what makes him unique is that he's not playing it in a country band, the instrument's traditional home. He's playing it in the context of the blues.
This time out, Robert Randolph and His Family Band was less 'family' and more studio or road type musicians than in his past appearances in the Capital District. Anyone remember his blistering performance with more family members in the ranks a few years back on the Empire State Plaza? Or even further back at the now long gone Saratoga Winners?
Not that the music at The Egg wasn't great, but some thought that it was less than inspired on this particular night. Maybe Randolph and family were a little tired from touring in support of their new album, "We Walk This Road," produced by famed studio music-magician T Bone Burnett.
What blew a lot of people's minds was the band that came on right before Randolph. The Hill Country Revue rocked The Egg on its foundation that night, detonating an explosive, two-guitar attack. Their Mississippi boogie and southern blues-rock mix left many in the audience howling for more.

The Amazing Spider-Man was cool and https://www.gamezone.com also good
Do you absolutely hate the new maps in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3? Judging from fan reaction, they just don't provide the same feel as the maps in CoD 4 or MW2. It may be nostalgia, it may be the fact that many of the maps are too small, cramped, or it may be that fans just aren't used to them yet.
Whatever the reason, CoD fans longing for the return of some older style maps may be in luck. Discovered by Reddit users, SMKTZ, it looks like Infinity Ward has plans to bring back some "classic" maps from previous Modern Warfare titles. Three CoD 4 maps – Crash, Crossfire, Strike, and Overgrown – along with Highrise from Modern Warfare 2 were found in the Modern Warfare 3 map files.
Reviving classic maps is nothing new for the Call of Duty series. Strike, Vacant, Crash, and Overgrown were remastered with the MW2 engine from CoD 4. While it's important to remember that this "leak" does com from Reddit and should be taken with a grain of salt, it's not completely unreasonable for IW to offer these as part of Elite's monthly DLC drops.

Jose Mourinho has claimed that signing left-back Luke Shaw would have "killed" Chelsea.
Shaw became the most expensive teenager in football after joining Manchester United for £27million from Southampton and signing a four-year contract worth over £100,000 a week.
Chelsea had been willing to rival United for the signing of Shaw, with the 19-year-old thought to favour a move to the Stamford Bridge club that he grew up supporting.
But Chelsea manager Mourinho backed away from a deal once he felt the figures started to spiral out of control and instead signed 28-year-old Filipe Luis for £15.8 million from La Liga champions Atlético Madrid.
"If we pay to a 19-year-old boy what we were being asked for, for Luke Shaw, we are dead," said Mourinho. "We kill our stability with financial fair play. We kill the stability in our dressing room.
"Because when you pay that much to a 19-year-old kid — a good player, a fantastic player — but when you pay that amount of money, the next day the players knock on the club's door and say, 'How is it possible I play for this club 200 games and won this and that; how come a 19-year-old comes here and gets more money than I get?' It would kill immediately our balance and we don't allow that."
Brazilian Luis is understood to be earning just under £80,000 a week at Chelsea. During four years at Atlético, he won La Liga, the Europa League, the Copa del Rey and reached last season's Champions League final. Shaw made 67 first-team appearances for Southampton and has won three England caps.
Mourinho added: "You can say Luis is much less expensive. He played for Brazil, won titles in Spain, won a European competition, played in the Champions League final, this guy is much cheaper than an English young lad.
"And is he good for our average wages, yes he is.
"Sometimes you have to make decisions. I don't criticise the other clubs for paying it. They can pay what they want. I don't have any comment about it. But for my club, we can say it would be very negative for us."

Stevenson controlled the fight from start to finish, not allowing Cloud to get anything going or land any significant punches. Stevenson had Cloud hurt several times in the fight, with hard hooks to the head and body.

A LABOURER who was found by police officers under the bed of a stranger's house, after he drank a bottle of rum, was yesterday ordered to pay thousands in a fine.
Deputy Chief Magistrate Mark Wellington was told that at around 1 p.m last Wednesday, officers at the Marabella Police Station received a report of a house break-in in progress in Pointe-a-Pierre.
They went to the home and saw several louvre panes had been removed from a window. Inside, they found a ransacked room and Satnarine Mungroo hiding under a bed. Asked if he had permission to be in the house, Mungroo said he did not.
"Boss, I drink some rum and I come to take a sleep," he told the officers.
Nothing was missing and Mungroo was charged with housebreaking with intent.
Defence attorney Annalee Girwar said Mungroo, 48, of Claxton Bay, was an alcoholic. She said he drank a bottle of vodka before the incident and it was out of his character to enter a stranger's house.
The attorney said Mungroo told her he had problems sleeping and had gone into the house which was near an area he had recently worked. She said he got frightened and sobered up after he heard the police siren.
But Wellington, presiding in the San Fernando First Magistrates' Court, said Mungroo had to be lucid to be able to remove the window panes and crawl into the house. He fined the Community-Based Environmental Protection and Enhancement Programme (CEPEP) worker $3,500. In default, he will serve six months in prison.
A total of $2,000 had to be paid forthwith, and Mungroo has ten days to pay the balance of the fine.

We just launched our new corporate web site. Right after the site went live it was time for me to analyze its performance with our Dynatrace AJAX Edition. Everything looked good – no problems on the page -straight A's on the Performance Report (read more on this on my blog How we improved our Performance Rank from D to A):
I retried it with the Dynatrace AJAX Edition and – guess what? It worked again. Why is that?
JavaScript parsing error in IE7 for JSON Objects
The following piece of JavaScript caused an error in my IE8 on Win7:
style: {
name: 'dark',
tip: true,
} ,
position: {
target: 'mouse' ,
adjust: {screen:true,x:10,y:10}
Even though we found a solution to this problem two questions were still in the air:
a) why does the same problem not occur on the machines of my colleagues?
b) why does the problem not occur when using Dynatrace AJAX Edition?
IE Compatibility Mode
Lesson learned: test with multiple browser versions!!
dynaTrace AJAX uses Rhino when instrumenting JavaScript
Lesson learned: perform functional tests on multiple browsers with and without additional diagnostic tools!!
Test with multiple browsers
This story is another proof for the point I often make when talking to Web 2.0 Developers. It is important to test all different types of browsers that your end users will use to check out your site. It's best to have a good mix of browsers and operating systems in your Dev and Test team to make sure you cover the major browsers out there.

NEW YORK (Jun. 27)
Jewish librarian Roiza Palatnik was sentenced Thursday to two years in a regular detention camp, Jewish sources here reported. They said the female prosecutor, surnamed Tipunova, summed up for an hour and a half, calling Miss Palatnik a "traitor," influenced by "Zionist propaganda," who had engaged in "very dangerous" activities, having distributed "anti-Soviet materials" as a member of an "ideological front" that had made use of the nature of her job to further its designs. In her 40-minute defense, Miss Palatnik, who was 36 last Wednesday, denied the charges and said the trials of Soviet Jews were meant to intimidate Jews into relinquishing their attempts to migrate to Israel. She had not been influenced by "Zionist propaganda," she said, but by her own conscience, and would remain "strong and dignified" so as not to let down her fellow Jews. "I allowed myself the pleasure to think, which is still forbidden in the Soviet Union nowadays," she stated. The three judges deliberated five hours before rendering their decision. Relatives of Miss Palatnik called out: "We are with you, Roiza. All the Jewish people are with you. We will meet in Israel." Officers of the KGB (secret police) evicted the relatives from the courtroom for their outburst, the sources said.

USA vs Japan Women's Olympic Soccer: Gold Medal Live Stream and TV PreviewAugust 7, 2012
The United States women's soccer team reached the gold medal round of the 2012 London Olympics with an exciting, yet controversial 4-3 victory over Team Canada in stoppage time yesterday. The semifinal victory earned the U.S. team a date with Japan in a rematch of the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup Final.
Japan upset the U.S. in the World Cup final last July after penalty kicks were needed to settle a 2-2 tie, becoming the first Asian team to win a FIFA World Cup. Soccer fans have been anticipating this gold medal matchup for more than a year.
Where: Wembley Stadium, London, England
When: Thursday, August 9, 2:45 p.m. EST
Live Stream: NBC Olympics
T.V. Coverage: NBC Olympics TV Listings
United States Team Breakdown
The U.S. women's soccer team will be looking to win its third straight Olympic gold medal and fourth overall since women's soccer became part of the Games in 1996. Although the U.S. women are No. 1 in the FIFA Women's World Rankings, their path to the gold medal round has not been easy.
U.S. goalie Hope Solo has led the women's national team to three shutouts in their five Olympic contests. But the U.S. has had unexpectedly tough matches against Korea and Canada, a team they haven't lost to since 2001.
After trailing three times in Monday's game, the U.S. got some controversial help from the referees with a rarely called six-second holding call going against Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod. That led to an indirect free kick, during which another questionable hand ball call was made.
U.S. co-captain Abby Wambach tied the game at three on the ensuing penalty kick. American heartthrob Alex Morgan won the game with a header in the 123rd minute to send the women's team back to the gold medal game.
Six of the 18 women on the U.S. women's soccer roster were not on the 2008 Olympic team. But only one player, 22-year-old forward Sydney Leroux, was absent from the 2011 World Cup team. So a majority of the players still carry wounds from that stunning defeat against Japan.
Morgan is one of the six first-time Olympians, but the 23-year-old is the latest U.S. women's soccer star, following in the tradition of notable players like Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain and Julie Foudy. Her game-winning header against Canada was a fitting result for the future of women's soccer in the United States.
Japan Team Breakdown
The Japanese women's soccer team traveled a less dramatic road to the Olympic gold medal game, but that doesn't mean it was easy. After notching only one win and two draws in pool play, the Japanese team defeated Brazil 2-0 and France 2-1 to advance to Thursday's final.
Just as the U.S. women will be looking to avenge last year's loss in the FIFA Women's World Cup Final, the Japanese women are out to prove that the victory was no fluke. They are assured of medaling for the first time in Olympic history, and will be aiming to become the first team in history to win the World Cup and Olympic gold medal in a two-year window.
The Japanese team will be led by 27-year-old captain Aya Miyama and 33-year-old veteran Homare Sawa, who leads the team in international caps (177) and goals scored (80). Soccer fans should also look out for dangerous forwards Shinobu Ohno and Yuki Ogimi. Ogimi scored the winning goal against France.
Prediction: After getting a scare from Team Canada and with the World Cup loss fresh on their minds, look for the U.S. women to come away with the gold medal in a 3-2 victory that will be every bit as close as the 2011 World Cup Final.

"Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees…" – Unattributed
American Knees examines the notion of Yellowface, a pre-Hollywood-centric practice of casting Caucasian actors to play Asians and physically altering their appearances to give them stereotypical Asian facial characteristics. This practice gives Caucasian actors the "right" to represent Asian roles and mannerisms, thus allowing them control over Asian portrayal in Western media.
The English translated Chinese play, The Orphan in China (1767), gave birth to the act of Yelllowface in the United States, pre-dating Blackface origins in the United States by two years. This convention still dominates in Western cinema to this day becoming more prevalent than Blackface. The most recent examples are The Last Airbender and Dragonball Evolution. Both have lead actors of non-Asian descent playing Asian characters. The director M. Night Shyamalan defended his approach in The Last Airbender as "multicultural casting". My intention with American Knees is to attempt to take back control of Yellowface by altering my already inherited Asian face and accentuating its traits with make-up, props, costumes and expressions. This act undermines the Caucasian-owned tradition of Yellowface by giving this "mask" to an Asian person. However, this act intends to solicit questions of my own identity as a Chinese American. Wearing Yellowface does not necessarily allow me the right to bear it, nor does it give me authority to edit the history of Asians in passive, mystic, benevolent, supporting, effeminate or weak traditional roles in Western popular culture.
Chinese-American photographer Tommy Kha is based in Memphis, Tennessee. His work has been exhibited in solo shows at venues including Five in One and Jack Robinson Gallery (both in Memphis, TN) and at group exhibitions in New York, Shanghai, Austin, and Memphis. In 2009, Memphis Crossroads Magazine named Kha one of the "Top Twenty Untapped Artists." An alumnus of the New York Studio Residency Program and a Digital Photography Residency in Shanghai in summer of 2010, Kha received his BFA from the Memphis College of Art in 2011 and is set to receive his MFA in Photography from Yale University in 2013.

This may surprise you. This even may shock you.
There are some people in this world who don't like the Montreal Canadiens.
Yes, I know. We ask ourselves, how could that be? But I've heard through a reliable source that there are some who feel this way and so I've accepted it.
They hate the Habs even in this day in age, when the Habs aren't exactly scaring the wits out of anybody. It seems to be ingrained in some.
You can bet that there were those in some corners of the world who smiled and chuckled with glee when Andre Markov went down for four months. They toasted their buddies when Ryan O'Byrne was added to the injury list. They whooped with glee when Vancouver trounced them 7-1. They giggled uncontrollably as they saw the Kostityn's stink on a nightly basis. They loved seeing Nashville pepper Carey Price with 55 shots.
And when the team is in a slump, some think it's the best thing since Viagra.
And believe it or not, there are people now anxiously waiting to hear if Brian Gionta will be sidelined for a lengthy time, and hoping like crazy that this will be the case.
It's all very shocking.

I had a problem when I was upgrading my Dell Inspiron 8100 to the Arch Duke. After setting up the hdd, during the packages installation my cd rom drive stop working, it just became dead. So I couldn't continue the cd install. I downloaded the floppy images and boot from the boot image, I burned them with rawrite2 from an XP machine.
The floppy boots nice but at the boot screen when I hit enter, with the boot floppy still on the drive, it just say ERROR: 0x01.
I cheked the md5sum of the downloaded floppy images files and they are good. Don't know how to setup arch for my pc because its an old laptop and it doesn't have usb boot support. I manage to install Debian, which is what Im using now to make this post, but for me archlinux is better and I want to use it instead of Debian.
Thanx in advance,
EDIT: Thanx for your reply elwario, but I can't afford to buy a new drive because it is integrated in my laptop and an external one will not work since I'm unable to boot from usb. Although the other idea sounds quite good. Second solution doesn't work because my cd rom is dead so I can't mount it. My only way to fix it is to find a working floppy image or to do a network install. I will try to find how to do a network install because I had another pc near mine, it is running WinXP. Maybe the error is due to an outdated floppy image or a bad one, the weird thing is the md5sum was right and the floppy is fine.
Does anyone know if the floppy images available to download are working?
Is there some good tutorial on how to make a floppy image that can be used to install archlinux?
Last edited by Nautivus (2007-07-17 20:50:34)
ERROR: 0x01, would be nice to know what this error is!
For the installation process, buy a new cd drive or I think it is possible to mount it and boot it from another partition; not sure
Can't really help you, but search something in the second solution...

Do you feel like you are the only one staying home for new year's eve? Believe it or not New Year's Eve is my least favorite holiday. The reason is that I am not able to stay up until midnight. Well, I could, but I will pay for it for the next three days. I have to plan accordingly. Whatever your reason for staying in, I hope you find an idea or two in my list of Five Ways to Celebrate New Year's Eve at Home. Maybe you can even bring the new year in a little bit early. It has to be midnight somewhere in the world!
Five ways to Celebrate New Year's Eve at Home
Cook Dinner Together… or Order Takeout
Pick a simple menu. You can find many ideas on Pinterest. I have many ideas on my recipe board. If you're not up to making dinner order a pizza. One of our local pizza places also has a full Italian menu including homemade cheesecake! Their food is really good. If you want something on the healthy side try ordering Chinese food, but order the sauce on the side. If you order pizza load it up with lots of veggies, thin crust, and don't get extra cheese. if you have grub hub in your area.
Rent A Movie or Two
Rent something light hearted or a good comedy. Pop a big bowl of air popped popcorn with light butter and Parmesan cheese or any topping you would enjoy. i like trying new flavors! I love using Redbox for movies. A DVD is only $1.50 and Blu-ray is $2.00. I have e-mails and text messages sent to me once in a while. You can sign up on Redbox. You can also rent movies on Amazon. Right now you can rent movies for only 99 cents! This offer expires on January 23rd.
Make A Dance Floor in Your Living Room
Who says you can't dance in your own home? I'm talking slow dancing with your spouse. Make a playlist ahead of time with some tunes that remind you of your earlier days and some current ones too. Just clear out some space. If it happens to be in the same room as a fire place even better! Why not have some party hats ready to wear as well!
Have Your Own Balloon Drop
Have you ever been out somewhere where there's been a balloon drop? It can be quite fun to stand underneath one. Why not make your own balloon drop? You just need a few items you can get at the Dollar Tree. You can get the instructions here. Your makeshift dance floor would be great
Play A Board Game or Answer Questions Together
Do you and your friends or spouse like to play board games? Some classics include Monopoly and scrabble. If playing games is not your thing you can take a look back at 2016 and answer some reflective questions together. Here are some good questions from Eileen Chadnick on Huffington Post. I also found a really cute questions kit that you can print out from The Dating Divas. They have a lot of other great ideas as well.
I hope you enjoyed this post, Five Ways to Celebrate New Year's Eve at Home.

Ukraine's 2-0 first-leg win over France was arguably the biggest shock of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ European Zone play-offs so far. The Yellow-Blues' dream of qualifying for their second World Cup finals since 2006 is now within their grasp.
Friday's clean sheet was in no small measure due to the fact that they managed to stifle the attacking threat of 2012/13 UEFA Best Player in Europe Franck Ribery. The 30-year-old was often surrounded by three Ukrainian defenders during the match, giving him little space to execute the flashes of brilliance we have come to expect from the Bayern Munich winger.
France's other star players, such as Samir Nasri, Olivier Giroud and Karim Benzema who, like Ribery, ply their trade at some of Europe's top clubs, were likewise unable to make their mark on the game. By contrast, over 95 per cent of the Ukrainian squad play for clubs in their own domestic league.
'Good friends'
For Anatoliy Tymoschuk, Friday's battle with Ribery took on added significance: The pair were team-mates at Bayern for four years and were part of the side that won the treble of the Bundesliga, DFB-Cup and UEFA Champions League last season.
"I was happy to come up against him. We're good friends," said Tymoschuk, who was an unused substitute for the game in Kiev. The 34-year-old also backed his pal to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or 2013 award. "I would vote for him," he told FIFA.com. "He deserves it. He's very strong mentally and physically, and he had a magnificent season with FC Bayern.
"He may have scored fewer goals than Messi or Ronaldo, but he's very important for the club. In the last two years, Bayern have beaten Spain's two top clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona, in the semi-final of the Champions League and Franck was one of the key players on both occasions."
Only one of the two friends can qualify for Brazil, however. After the victory in Kiev, Ukraine are brimming with confidence ahead of Tuesday's return leg at the Stade de France. "We have to stick to our game plan," said Tymoschuk. "That helped us through difficult parts of the group stage and won us second place. We are well organised, confident and play with discipline and with a lot of fight. We will do everything to make our World Cup dream come true."
Up against it
If Ukraine survive the second leg, the tournament in Brazil is likely to be Tymoschuk's last. At 34, he is now in the twilight of his career. After four successful years in Munich, during which he made 131 appearances and scored four goals, Tymoschuk joined Zenit St. Petersburg in the summer, returning to the club he had previously represented between 2007 and 2009.
The midfield enforcer is not thinking about hanging up his boots any time soon, however: "I can't predict the future. But I've been playing for the national side since 2000 and I'm still prepared to do my utmost for the team."
This resolution may well be put to the test on Tuesday, as Ukraine's record in Saint-Denis makes for sober reading. They have lost two and drawn one of their three visits to the Stade de France, conceding three goals and scoring none.
Ukraine's overall record against Les Bleus is hardly any better. In eight matches, Michail Fomenko's charges have drawn four and lost three against France, their sole victory coming when the two sides met last Friday.
Ninety minutes stand between Ukraine and football's showcase event next year. If his team keep their focus, Tymoschuk may well be the one consoling his friend on Tuesday evening. Hardly anyone would have expected that a few days ago.
