"I was not raised to lie, cheat, or steal… " The actress also addressed those who wrote headlines about the Kimberly Ovitz-designed dress she wore during her court appearance Wednesday, when she pleaded not guilty to the charge. "What I wear in court shouldnt be front page news," she wrote. "It's just absurd."

Thank you for your support of Whinny City Pony Con by becoming a volunteer.
Our volunteers play a vital role in organizing our show and making sure it runs smoothly. We strive to create an environment that is supportive, safe, and fun for all to participate in Whinny City Pony Con. Our goal with this Volunteer Agreement is to make our volunteer experience as rewarding as possible. This agreement will cover many of the details you will need to know to have a fun and effective experience with Whinny City Pony Con.
As a volunteer, you are expected to adhere to the following "common sense" policies:
1) Maintain a professional and helpful attitude in all dealings with attendees, exhibitors, guests, and fellow volunteers. As a volunteer you are acting as a representative of Whinny City Pony Con and may be one of the few Whinny City Pony Con volunteers our attendees or exhibitors engage with during the weekend. Make their attendance a positive experience by being professional and helpful.
2) Be knowledgeable of the convention. Acquaint yourself with as much of the convention as possible, such as hours of operation, locations of key areas and the schedule of our programming. We make as much information available as possible on our website and in our program guide. Take advantage of the available information so you can be an informed volunteer when asked questions by attendees.
3) Perform your duties to the best of your abilities, and show up a little early for your shift/ duties. If you find you are unable or unclear on how to perform a certain duty, please talk with your Manager/Director. We are all in this convention together and we do not want anyone to be overwhelmed or not succeed in their position.
4) Dress appropriately. Your Department Head / Supervisor will specify the dress code for your department. This will typically consist of the staff shirt that we will provide and clean pants. We ask that you not wear offensive t-shirts or clothing that might offend guests or convention members.
5) Be sober and clear headed. No drinking or use of controlled substances is permitted while you are performing your volunteer duties. If you become intoxicated while on duty or report for work while intoxicated or under the influence of a controlled substance, you will be removed from staff and ejected from the convention.
6) Be humble and modest in your position. While you're volunteering at the convention, you do not have special privileges and you do not get priority access in autograph lines, for instance. If you are not on duty, you have exactly the same privileges as any other convention attendee.
7) Get plenty of sleep, plenty to eat, and stay clean. We strive to limit volunteers to eight hours or less of a work a day. Please get plenty of sleep during the convention weekend. Eat well balanced meals, drink plenty of water, and maintain high personal hygiene. Do not try to out-do your fellow volunteers in who can sleep less. Sleep deprivation and lack of nourishment will negatively impact your ability to successfully complete the above six policies and may result in you being replaced in your shift or position during the convention till a time you have rested, eaten, and bathed.
Medical or Physical Restrictions
Volunteering at Whinny City Pony Con can be a very physically and mentally demanding endeavor. Please let us know if you have any physical, medical or movement restrictions that need to be accommodated. We will make every effort to take care of and accommodate everyone, but please be aware that volunteers are expected to manage their own well-being while they are serving on the volunteer team.
Harassment Free Environment
All volunteers have a right to work in an environment free from the demoralizing effects of harassment or unwelcome offensive or improper conduct. Sexual harassment or harassment based on gender, color, religion, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, expression, disability, or veteran status, or any other status protected by law will simply not be tolerated at Whinny City Pony Con. Types of improper behavior or prohibited conduct includes: unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, obscene gestures, sending sexually explicit, racially offensive or derogatory emails or voicemails, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual or offensive nature, such as uninvited touching of a sexual nature or sexually-related comments. Volunteers should promptly report incidents of harassment to their immediate Department Head, Manager, Director, or Convention Chair. There is a procedure for investigating and resolving issues of harassment during and within Whinny City Pony Con and it will involve the assistance of the City of Schaumburg police department. All reported incidents will be investigated with an effort to keep the source of the report confidential except where we find disclosure necessary for resolution. Where inappropriate conduct has occurred, specific disciplinary actions up to and including termination of volunteer status or revocation of attendee badge will be implemented. Any volunteer or attendee who, in good faith, reports a possible violation of this policy will be protected from any form of retaliation.
Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure
As a volunteer you are expected to maintain confidentiality with information received from Whinny City Pony Con. We strive to share as much information on the inner workings of our convention with our volunteers as possible, with the knowledge that much of this information is proprietary to Whinny City Pony Con. Certain information may be embargoed until a set time frame, such as guest announcements, and we ask that you respect our requests for confidentiality, as the release of said information will impact other aspects of the convention, such as marketing plans. Should we find that information is being shared in a way that is detrimental to Whinny City Pony Con, we will cease to share said information with volunteers. You may also be privy to information and conversations between and with guests during the convention and you are expected to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of our guests as well. Whinny City Pony Con requires that volunteers will protect the confidential information which may be disclosed between guests of Whinny City Pony Con and the volunteer. Confidential Information means any information or material which is proprietary to the guest, which is not generally known other than by the guest, and which the volunteer may obtain through any direct or indirect contact with the guest. Confidential Information includes without limitation: Financial amounts of sales, earnings, or business, upcoming projects that may or may not have been completed, personal information including family, friends, and relationships, and opinions made by the guest. This list is neither all-inclusive nor complete. The volunteer understands and acknowledges that the Confidential Information can cause irreparable harm to the guest and to the convention should the information be shared, discussed, or publicly posted. The volunteer will hold the Confidential Information in confidence and will not disclose to any person or entity without the prior written consent of the guest. Non-disclosure includes but is not limited to any verbal, written, or electronically communicated conversations, including texts, instant messages, or chats; any posting on known and unknown forms of social media; or interviews with any form of media, reporter, or blogger. Disclosure by the volunteer in violation of this agreement shall constitute and be treated as a material breach of this agreement which will cause irreparable harm to the guest, the convention, and the staff and agents working with or associated with the guest or convention. Those above affected by the breach of this agreement may seek, among other things, (a) injunctive relief, without posting any bond, to prevent and/or cure any breach or threatened breach of this agreement by the volunteer, (b) recovery or disgorgement of the monies or other consideration received in connection with such disclosure, if any, and (c) recovery of reasonable outside attorney fees incurred to enforce this agreement.
Staff Photographer / Videographer
If you are on staff as a designated photographer or videographer, all images or video that you capture on shift are the property of Whinny City Pony Con and must be surrendered to the convention immediately on request. You may retain copies for your own portfolios, but may not use the images or videos in any other commercial capacity.
At Will Volunteer
Your volunteer status is at will. Whinny City Pony Con is free to release volunteers from their positions for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all. You are able to serve as a volunteer at your pleasure and equally free to quit with no liability.
Volunteer Medical Waiver and Indemnity Agreement
I understand and agree that I am responsible for providing my own food, transportation and lodging. Any food or lodging provided by Whinny City Pony Con as a benefit covers only the applicable terms of the specific benefit awarded. In the event of an accident or injury while volunteering for Whinny City Pony Con, I authorize Whinny City Pony Con to seek and obtain medical treatment. Furthermore, I agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Whinny City Pony Con from any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, charges, suits, penalties, costs and/or expenses, including but not limited to court costs, attorneys' fees and expenses, resulting from any act (whether intentional or not), omission or negligence of any injury to myself.
By submitting for your Whinny City Pony Con 2018 staff badge you agree that you have read all of the above information in this Volunteer Agreement and agree to the policies, waivers, and indemnity herein.

Brechiner Bob Christie has been named as a finalist in the Angus Council Partnership Excellence Awards for his work with bowls and Angus Active Schools.
Throughout 2008, Bob worked with each of the three bowling clubs in the Brechin area setting up indoor and outdoor taster sessions in the sport for all the Brechin Cluster primary schools through the recruitment of volunteers and coaches from the clubs.
As a result every primary six pupil in Brechin, from 2008 onwards, has had an experience of bowls.
Building on this model, and through Bob's role as Scottish Bowling Association District Secretary, the partnership has developed significantly over the last few years – currently 33 schools across Angus are linked to a bowling club. Bob still leads most of these sessions in Brechin.
As well as providing young people in Angus the opportunity to try something new, participating in the sport has enabled them to learn and develop a number of life skills such as timing, accuracy, endurance and team work all whilst being physically active.
In 2012, in partnership with the Angus Active Schools Team, Bob coordinated the first Angus wide Junior Bowls Competition, which is now an annual event.
Through the support of their members, Bob has worked tirelessly with each of the linked clubs to develop their constitution, providing a unified approach across the county and encouraging them to provide for junior members at their clubs. This has not only made the game of bowls more accessible to Angus youngsters, but has also facilitated a pathway to identify potential future talent and enable them to progress their skills at their local club and develop further in the sport.
From a club perspective this is ultimately helping to bring more youngsters into the game – a proactive response to the natural decline in membership that is currently prevalent within the sport – with many of the clubs seeing a rise in the number of junior members joining and playing.
Kelly Moonlight, Active Schools Coordinator/nominator, commented: "The key strength within this partnership has without a doubt been Bob's willingness, enthusiasm and dedication to see the sport of bowls flourish in Angus.
"Thanks to his efforts the partnership has many sustainable attributes including curricular and extra-curricular sessions, the promotion of club sessions inclusive for all, and their annual Angus competition.
"That coupled with a strong and supportive network of volunteers will support the continued development of the sport in the future."
Lawn bowls is included as one of the 17 sports of the forthcoming Glasgow Commonwealth Games and it is hoped this will provide a fantastic opportunity for the clubs to continue to promote, develop and transform the perceptions of the sport, and encourage youth and community participation.

I am trying to make a little hay with a Hesston 5530 round baler.
It does not have the electric bale tie option.
I am trying to find out the twine threading procedure and
the bale tying and ejection procedure
I am getting a manual but it will not be here before i start baling...Sunday?
I understand that the twine goes threw the tensioner and the tube, but where do it go after that?
Also I understand that the PTO needs to be shut down for ejection, but I do not understand the actual tieing/ knotting process.
I see the rope you pull to swing the twine tub accross the throat of the baller.
I asume I do this w/ tractor stopped and PTO engaged, but idling?!>
Do I get off the tractor to tie a knott?
To tie, stop the tractor put in neutral leave the tractor and pto running at operating speed, Pull the rope to bring the tube all the way over to the left of the baler, the roll will grab the twine and then you move the tube back to the right by moving the rope. Once the tube is back to the right of the baler, then u pull the tube back to the center of bale and then just let it go, this lets the tube fall back to the outside and the twine it cut. cut the pto off, back up the tractor dump the bale and and then move on to makeing the next one.

Regional Reviews: Washington, D.C.
Mahalia: A Gospel Musical
also see Susan's reviews of Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? and I Am My Own Wife
The last time MetroStage in Alexandria, Virginia, presented Mahalia: A Gospel Musical, in 2004, Bernardine Mitchell received the Helen Hayes Award as outstanding lead actress in a resident musical for her performance. She's just as dynamic now playing the great gospel singer Mahalia Jackson, but at two and a half hours, the show is too much of a good thing, despite the sleek direction of Thomas W. Jones II.
Playwright Tom Stolz, working with traditional gospel songs, follows the outlines of the performer's biography in his script. Mitchell, supported by William F. Hubbard (also from the 2004 production) and S. Renee Clark, portrays Jackson from her early years in New Orleans, where her strict Aunt Duke steered her away from the "sinful" blues of Bessie Smith and toward the joy of church music, through her growing fame as a singer in Chicago; her partnership with composer Thomas A. Dorsey, "the father of gospel music"; her groundbreaking 1950 Carnegie Hall concert; her support of the civil rights movement, including a performance at the 1963 March on Washington when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech; and her ultimate triumph in Europe and visit to the Holy Land. (Stolz tactfully omits some things, such as Jackson's two marriages and divorces.)
Mitchell is a powerful singer and performer who ably embodies the iconic Mahalia, beginning as a giddy teenager and progressing to wisdom and comfort in her destiny, which she describes as "spreading good news in bad times."
Hubbard plays a wide spectrum of roles, from the young Mahalia's fun-loving cousin to the flamboyant Dorsey, whom Mahalia calls "the Lord's first traveling salesman," and he gives an impassioned reading of some of King's most famous words. Clark shifts ably from tough Aunt Duke to Mildred Falls, Mahalia's effusive longtime accompanist. Clark is also the music director, and she and Hubbard are comfortable at the piano and the Hammond organ.

Your physician may decide to help bring your bundle of joy into the world through a number of methods. During routine prenatal checkups, he may "strip your membranes" to encourage contractions. Or, breaking your water, called an amniotomy, is also a common way to speed up labor and get you to the finish line.
Medication may also be used to speed up contractions and ripen your cervix. Pitocin is often administered through an IV to stimulate contractions, while suppositories such as prostaglandin inserts that contain relaxin to help your cervix make way for your baby's delivery.
>> Am I in labor? 6 signs labor is starting
Natural ways to speed up labor often include shifting positions. "I generally encourage my clients to have a mindfulness about how being in one position for long periods of time can be a disservice to the baby who may need a change in order to move him/herself into a more optimal position for birthing," shares Lisa Pedersen, LCSW, Mindful Beginnings.
Whether Mother Nature or your physician helped start labor, once you're headed towards the finish line, let gravity do most of the work. As long as you haven't been administered an epidural, try standing next to your bed and swaying back and forth through contractions or taking a stroll down the hall. The change of scenery will do you some good, too!
The release of oxytocin through breast stimulation is a common, natural way to speed up labor. Use a breast pump, massage your nipples or get into the shower and let the water do the work to release oxytocin into your body, which can cause contractions. You should feel a contraction within 20 minutes if this method is working for you.
>> Find out what to expect when labor is induced
As long as your water hasn't broken and you're in the first stage of labor, the practice of sex during labor is gaining momentum. A hormone called relaxin is found seminal fluid, softening the cervix and lengthening the pelvic ligaments to get your labor moving. It is also known to help start labor as well.
Be sure to check with your physician, OB-GYN or doula before you initiate any of these ways to speed up labor. He or she will be your best source on how to speed up labor for your particular situation. Although you are anxious to hold your newborn in your arms at the start of labor, your baby may just need a little more time before making her grand entrance into the world!

There is something quite romantic about the Polli collar necklaces. Their aesthetic is reminiscent of a long-ago era in which delicate and ladylike jewelry was worn on almost all occasions. Fit for royalty, these accessories will add that touch of elegance and sophistication to any outfit without compromising any of their whimsical qualities.
Detachable collar jewelry is already catching on fire thanks to celebrities like Emma Watson. Now you can own your own with the Polli collar necklaces at a relatively reasonable price considering the detailed workmanship put into each of them.
Available in three styles (doily, Peter Pan and patchwork), the Polli collar necklaces are etched from stainless steel and threaded with felt. They also come in different colors such as red, blue and black.

All of the recipes displayed are handpicked to be simple enough for small children to make with a parent and/or older children to make on their own. A variety of different cooking tools and techniques are highlighted to help your children gain cooking confidence.
Because cooking goes beyond just following instructions, "Food for thought" ideas are highlighted under each recipe giving you teachable moments to share with your children. Some examples include: "What is Shoe peg Corn? How do I separate an egg white from the yolk? And, why do we use oil rather than butter when we cook on high heat?" Who knows, maybe you might even learn a thing or two!
Gluten-free options are also available under each recipe to accommodate my allergy-suffering friends (hand raised!). So, here we go…. let those kiddos crack eggs, pour milk, measure, and make a mess. Did I say make a mess?! Ohhh, yes I did, but don't worry, Mama- as I mentioned above, the kiddos will learn how to clean up the kitchen in the last chapter, they'll even learn how to make their own cleaning supplies. Last, but not least, when the baking and cooking is done, make sure to sit down and take in those precious moments and indulge in the delicious creations you and your children have made together!

Kanye West and Jay-Z recently kicked off their Watch the Throne tour in London at the famed O2 Arena, but it seems fellow female artists Rihanna and Rita Ora stole the show away from the stage.
Both beauties arrived separately for Saturday night's show and bumped into each other backstage, where RiRi gave Rita a big kiss on the cheek.
Ora herself actually posted this photo on Twitter accompanied "Hatin A$$ Biatch!!!! Mwah!!!!!"
The tour is scheduled to continue in London, so it's safe to say that you can expect to see more of this action.

Given a choice of vacation spots, Ottawa Senators coach Paul MacLean acknowledges Las Vegas wouldn't be at the top of his list.
MacLean looks to add "floors" to foundation he set last season
LAS VEGAS — Given a choice of vacation spots, Ottawa Senators coach Paul MacLean acknowledges Las Vegas wouldn't be at the top of his list.
"I've been here since Saturday and I haven't bet a nickel," MacLean told the Citizen Tuesday. "I work too hard for my money just to give it to a casino."
Lobster fishing off the coast near his cottage in Antigonish, N.S., is more his speed at this time of year.
That said, being here has MacLean full of pride. A year ago Thursday, he was named Senators head coach. Not even the most optimistic Senators fan could have foreseen that MacLean would be celebrating a late first anniversary present by being in line for the Jack Adams Trophy as the NHL coach of the year — up against John Tortorella of the New York Rangers and Ken Hitchcock of the St. Louis Blues — at Wednesday's awards show at the lavish theatre of the Wynn hotel.
"Well, we certainly wouldn't have anticipated being here," MacLean said. "(A year ago), we were just getting over the fact of getting hired and down to work. It has been a fast year. I think it was gone by real quickly, but it has also been a tremendous amount of work and also a tremendous amount of fun."
Whether MacLean wins or not, he has raised the bar considerably in 12 months, following the Senators' unlikely appearance in the playoffs and near upset of the New York Rangers in the opening round.
"Well, it's not extra pressure," he said. "But now we have expectations. We created expectations for ourselves. That's something to be proud of, but that's also something that we make sure we identify (to players)."
While MacLean began last training camp talking about building "a foundation," he says the organization has now reached the stage where "we've already got some floors built on it and we have a place to come back to."
Senators general manager Bryan Murray agrees that "we'll all expect a little more" and he says MacLean deserves all the credit he's receiving for his part in the quicker-than-expected turnaround. Murray says he made veterans such as Chris Phillips and Filip Kuba feel important in their roles again while also providing a chance for youngsters Colin Greening, Erik Condra, Jim O'Brien and Jared Cowen to establish themselves in the NHL.
"His communication skills were outstanding," said Murray. "He worked the guys very hard at the start of the year, but they understood why, and the whole package was that our team played hard every night and we had a knack of coming back late in games and became an entertaining team for our fans."
That shouldn't change, if MacLean has his way. Despite the defensive bent of the playoffs, MacLean says he won't alter his basic philosophy of trying to open up the game whenever possible.
"I truly believe that you have to score goals to win the Stanley Cup," he said. "I don't think you can constantly just defend, defend, defend, but you also need the personnel and system to make it happen."
MacLean recognizes the Senators need to improve defensively next season, but all other things being equal, he says "it's the team that's able to create scoring opportunities and have a creative way of scoring that ends up winning."
The advantage MacLean has from last year is that the players will know where he's coming from immediately, rather than having to learn on the fly. If players are sometimes surprised by the heat they receive from MacLean — for instance, Jason Spezza was benched for uninspired play during Game 6 against the Rangers — it's genuine.
"The best advice I ever received was from my dad (Everett)," said MacLean. "He said just be yourself. The most important thing you can do as a coach in this league is just be yourself. Don't try to be something you're not."

"Both of you?"
"Yes, please. And our friend."
"Three of you," said the uniformed guard, not with distaste exactly, but in such a way as to convey that she didn't approve.
The three young women had declared their intention to forgo microwaving. They were opting instead for the "full pat-down" promised on Transportation Security Administration signs. These also assured us, every three feet, that our safety was their priority.
There certainly were a lot of us to keep safe. It was inauguration weekend, and the security lines at Reagan National had filled up and poured onto the concourse.
There was a freshness in the faces of those newly arrived in the queue; they'd approach along the gleaming floor at a fast clip, as if by their own briskness they could cause the line to move more quickly. Within a few minutes, you could see the urgency die away. Their shoulders dropped a little, and they evidenced the same resigned attitude as those who had been in line a lot longer.
The air was thick with the concussion of plastic meeting metal, as travelers banged trays on long tables in preparation for putting their belongings through the X-ray machines.
"Put all laptops in trays!" a male guard called over the heads of the crowd. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Around him, American citizens bent and knelt to remove their shoes in what is surely the most ignominious ritual in modern air travel. It was once so glamorous that people dressed up: Now they must undress, and for the vast multitudes who do not travel by private jet or in first class, there is not even a flake of gilding left on the experience.
"Come on, come on, come on ... " a woman a couple of places behind me in line murmured. She kept glancing at her boarding pass and bouncing on the balls of her feet. I guess she was late.
The guard called out in an amiable way: "Don't put anything else inside! Nothing underneath! Nothing on top!"
"Even a piece of paper?" I said teasingly, and then thought: Bad idea! Do not joke with the TSA!
Luckily, I'd been right about his mood.
The mood of his colleague just ahead, however, seemed increasingly dark. The three young renegades stood before her in their stocking feet. It seemed that the guard had had to send for backup, and she was waiting for a pat-down specialist to arrive.
I had a brief thought of joining the girls. Being largely innumerate, I too prefer the human touch to scrutiny by an ominous, anonymous machine. But it was just a thought: Frankly, I wanted to get out of there and catch my flight. If that meant I had to stand on the yellow footprints and raise my arms like a soldier surrendering while the machine checked me over, I'd do it -- this time.
"I'm just curious," the guard asked the girls loudly, as she waved me past. "Do you opt out of other machines?"
I saw the young women glance at each other. "Well, no -- just"
"Irregardless of the benefit of the machines?" the guard pursued.
I didn't hear their answer; I was through and on my way.

The picture of the fox was originally conceived from a tutorial written by a superb illustrator - Walter Briggs. The original article (Mammals Art Course - Fox Part 1) was published in Acorn Publisher (vol 9, issue 2). Creating an impression of animal fur is challenging in a vector package and may take some hours to perfect.
Some of the examples are tessellations. Once you understand the principals these unique and interesting patterns are very easy to create using ArtWorks 2. Last year I gave a talk at the Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club describing how to draw a simple shape by converting the sides of a square to curves and then creating a tessellation matrix.

Have a look at the examples here. The frequently seen left-pointing hand shows how effective these profiles are - drawing the same thing with ordinary lines makes the graphic quite dull. The drawing of the princess is of particular interest as it contains a varied selection of profiles - ball gown top section.... Ripple, gold band.... Wave (long), dress pleats.... Ellipse. Instead of using traditional black to do the outline all colours are slightly darker than the colours assigned to each main picture element - for example... the lower part of the ball gown has cyan applied to the main part of it with corresponding outlines drawn in darker cyan. Common in this type of work the technique is very effective. The ellipse frame consists of Wave ribbon and the Ripple profiles.

Antigua Observer:-The decision by international correspondent banks to terminate relationships with banks in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) is encouraging money laundering and terrorist financing, the Governor of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), Timothy Antoine, has said.
"If you force people to hold cash and move around cash, you are encouraging that sort of behaviour, because there is less traceability, less transparency, [and] that's precisely what you don't want," the governor stated.
Over the past year or two, a number of international correspondent banks have sought to sever ties, in an attempt to manage the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing through countries in the region. But its efforts to address these risks are affecting the Caribbean as well as the international correspondent banks.
As small island states, Antoine said the money we're making through correspondent banking is not worth the fines we would be required to pay if the ECCU banks are caught harbouring funds which turn out to be illegal or ill-gotten. "We may be making a million dollars but we may have to pay a fine of 50 million dollars," he declared.
Nonetheless, the region is highly dependent upon correspondent banking and the ability to access international financing systems, in order to perform the simplest of tasks such as receiving remittances or performing wire transfers.

Where in blue, sunny Gehenom has Penguin Pete been???
Answer: Working my stubby little butt off, and in between for recreation time taking a nostalgic trip back to the era of 15 years ago, when sysops were sysops and warez doodz were warez doodz and small, furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were... well, you know.
This time I've been snarfing the archives of The BBS Archive, and if you thought Textfiles.com had ANSI art, you've seen nothing 'til you've seen this archive. Along with the usual browsing of ANSI art I've been doing, I have also been playing a few demos in DOSBox. I tried one on a hunch and it *worked*! In fact, almost every one from several groups I've tried has worked!
Demos from ACID and BAD
Demos from BAD and ACID
Demos from ACID and Apocalyptic Visions
If you don't know what the demoscene was, the PC Demoscene FAQ is the place to go.
Here's how I do it: I have the latest DOSBox, and I create a directory called /DOS/ under my home. Best to keep all DOS files in one place on a Linux system. So, download the zip file, and unzip it into wherever under your /DOS/ folder you want it. Then start DOSBox and type:
mount c ~/DOS/
cd .\FOLDER\
To get to whatever folder you put the unzipped files in...
Remember, DOS makes the slashes backwards, and 'ls' doesn't work, you have to say 'dir'! You can simply play any executable by typing '.\' then hitting 'tab' a few times so it cycles through all the possible '.EXE', '.COM' and whatnot.
Keep the following in mind:
You're playing demos coded by warez doodz living in the 80s (actually, the 90s, but they still worshiped heavy metal, so...), who never dreamed that their work would be running on DOSBox on Linux. Wherever possible, keep files together and preserve the naming scheme (yes, even the STUPID.ANS UPPERC~1.DOS FILE-N~1.EXE!) so that programs don't get lost looking for support files. Macho 14-year-old Amiga fans whacking out a demo in a four-hour deadline using only Assembly laugh at the idea of exception handling.
Even for all of that, the demos run astoundingly well! Methinks that DOSBox is becoming a better DOS than the original DOS!

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's presidential spokesman says an end to Syrian crisis is a condition to restore relations with Iran and that his country supports the Syrian opposition's proposal for talks with the regime in Damascus.
Yasser Ali's comments Wednesday were made ahead of an Egyptian-Turkish-Iranian mini-summit on the Syria crisis, being held on the sidelines of a summit of Muslim nations in Cairo.
Sunni states Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey have backed Syria's rebels and have been sharp critics of President Bashar Assad, while Shiite heavyweight Iran is Damascus' closest regional ally.
Egypt's leader has spearheaded an "Islamic quartet" of nations to try to resolve the Syrian crisis. The grouping includes Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

Jim Ford designed his humanist sans serif Quire Sans as a universal genius. It is exceptionally well legible in the small and large sizes and has ten different weights, each with true italic styles. Moreover, it has a large selection of number and character sets: the range runs from medieval and upper-case figures to countless ligatures and small capitals.
In this way, Quire Sans can be used for the most diverse range of applications. In addition, the letters have dynamic forms that appear at once classic, yet modern and robust. The universal character is reflected in the origins of Quire Sans. Jim Ford pulls together international influences from the most diverse font eras in his sans serif, combining them with his own style.
In this way, the designer appears to have achieved his goal to design "the sans of all sans".

Bar Napkin Sonnets by Moira Egan. Bellport, NY: The Ledge Press, 2009 [Winner of The Ledge 2008 Poetry Chapbook Award]. $9.00.
Reviewed by Richard Swanson
Sonnets seem to be back in vogue. Equally trendy is writing by women about women in the world of sexual cruising. Moira Egan's chapbook combines the two.
Reading the sexual narratives in these kinds of poems frequently raises some questions: Are these actual sexual encounters or fantasies, the poem-teller an alter-ego or real person? At some level, I guess, the questions don't need answering if the tales play well, and Egan's narratives certainly have varied, erotic allure. The narrator's one-night stand lovers include guys younger and older than her, guys from different countries, a heartless cardiologist (what a great oxymoron), her student, a one-night-stand adulterer, a David Bowie look-alike, and a woman as randy as she is. Most of the encounters start in bars and end elsewhere, one in the back seat of a car. There's a threesome scene, oral sex, and an aside on the fallibility of condoms, if you keep lists of such things. All in all, the pages give off a lot of moody steam.
Egan has a good eye for bar seduction routines and an equally good understanding of morning-after rituals. Her narrator (early forties) also takes us out of the heaty moment occasionally, wondering how her face in the powder room mirror once looked and will look in the future. Many of the poems derive their effective tension from the paradoxes of the sexual scene, and her role in it. She's hopelessly infatuated at times, totally turned off at others, on the prowl and prey, Painted Lady/Cosmo girl and self-admitted slut.
At times the sonnets lack some finish. Most rely heavily on half-rhyming, which Egan handles well, but in some places awkward syntax disrupts narrative flow, and rhythms degenerate into prose. Egan is capable of really terrific lines like the following gem:
I've heard this wobble called "the walk of shame,"
the morning-after strut/limp back
to my own bed, the evenings in the sack
involving nothing close to love or blame . . . .
But I wish a handful of the poems had undergone one more revision. (Okay, this may be carping, but I've been spoiled by the polish of sonneteers like Philip Dacey, Marilyn L.Taylor, Ron Wallace, Denise Duhamel, and Richard Merelman.) The book is also a crown of sonnets but only in the loosest sense, each poem's last line linked to the first line of the next only by the repetition of a single word.
As the jacket text notes, the last woman poet to do something comparable to this sexual revelation adventure—in formal poetry, that is—was Edna St. Vincent Millay. Give credit to Egan for an ambitious effort, something like going up against Meryl Streep in an acting audition. Readers who prefer free verse efforts in this same genre should seek out works by Cathryn Cofell, Karla Huston, and Ellaraine Lockie.
My favorite poem in this short collection is one about the worm in the Mescal bottle, which Egan adroitly turns into a symbol with multiple meanings. Her narrator also utters one of the great lines of feminine seduction literature, when she eyes a male target and says "I'll Molly Bloom him into my lair." What a gem.
Richard Swanson lives in Madison, Wisconsin where he reads, gardens, and writes. His previous volume was Men in the Nude in Socks (Fireweed, 2006). His latest book is Not Quite Eden (Fireweed Press).

This week Diane Keaton published a memoir Then Again which is a wonderful journey through the lives of two women: Diane and her mother, Dorothy Hall. As opposed to some of the Mommie Dearest-type celebrity books, Diane weaves together her life and career with the memories and mementos of her mother, whom she calls "the love of my life."
Before Dorothy passed in 2008 at the age of 86, she had lived 15 years with Alzheimer's disease – a progressive brain disease where symptoms gradually worsen over a period of years.
Today, more than five million Americans are diagnosed with this disease and the Alzheimer's Association tells us that one out of every two people over the age of 85 will develop Alzheimer's.
What was so poignant to me as I read this book was Diane's description of caring for her mother while also caring for her two small adopted children, which we know makes her one of the 24 million Sandwich Generation caregivers. According to the Pew Research Center just over one of every eight Americans aged 40 to 60 is both raising a child and caring for a parent. In addition, between seven to 10 million adults care for their aging parents long distance.
In the book, Diane describes her Sandwich Generation role this way:
"As Mother struggled to complete sentences, I watched Dexter, my daughter, and a few years later little Duke, my son, begin to form words as a means to capture the wonder of their developing minds. The state of being a woman in between two loves – one as a daughter, the other as a mother – has changed me. It's been a challenge to witness the betrayal of such a cruel disease while learning to give love with the promise of stability."
Diane's Rehearsal for the Role of a Lifetime: Caregiver
I have always loved Diane Keaton. I love her quirky sensibility, her fashionable love for gloves and hats, her brilliance as both a dramatic (The Godfather, Reds) and romantic comedy (Annie Hall, Something's Gotta Give) actress, her fearless independence as a single woman, her love of turtleneck sweaters, her becoming a mother at age 50 and of course, her Southern California-girl roots.
But, until I started reading her book and doing more research on her career, I had not realized that Diane had been in a dress rehearsal for her role as caregiver to her mother through some of her movie roles.
Perhaps one of her best roles was in Marvin's Room (1996) also starring Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio and Hume Cronyn. In the movie, Diane plays "Bessie" who is a family caregiver for her father (Cronyn) as well as her aunt played by Gwen Verdon.
We eventually find out that Bessie has been diagnosed with leukemia and her survival may depend on a bone marrow transplant from her estranged sister, played by Streep. The film then delivers its message that even in dysfunctional families, there is a healing power to love.
Diane also played a reluctant caregiver to an ever-devilish Jack Nicholson in one of my favorite movies, Something's Gotta Give (on a side note: I read an article that described director Nancy Meyers' movies, of which Something's Gotta Give is one of her best, as "real estate porn for women" – I agree and loved Diane's Hamptons home in the movie!).
Jack, who had been dating Diane's daughter played by the 30-something Amanda Peet, suffers a heart attack and must be watched over by a disapproving but ultimately romantically intrigued Diane.
In The Other Sister, Diane played the mother to a mentally challenged daughter played by Juliette Lewis, and she directed and starred in Hangin' Up about three sisters, where she played alongside Meg Ryan and Lisa Kudrow, caring for their terminally ill father played by Walter Matthau.
Leaving a Legacy
What is perhaps the best lesson of Diane's book is the legacy that she has left for her children. Then Again is not just about Diane and her mother, but a gift to her children. She describes how her mother kept scrapbooks and pieces of paper with the word "Think" written on them. The lesson for her children through this book is Diane will be the torchbearer for her mother's mantra to "Think."
I have spoken to so many family caregivers who truly believe that creating a scrapbook, writing in a journal, helping a loved one to create their legacy or life's story or simply posting stories to a personal online community like those you can create at Lotsa Helping Hands, are therapeutic in the process of watching a loved one age and decline or struggle with an illness or disease.
It is Diane's character in Marvin's Room, Bessie, who has sacrificed everything to care for her aunt and father, but who has found fulfillment and contentment in her role as caregiver. In Bessie's words, "I've had such love in my life. I look back, and I've had such love."
Note: Sherri Snelling is writing a book on celebrities who are caregivers to be published in 2012.

Things haven't gone exactly the way someone putting on a huge, outdoor, four-day concert would have hoped.
Torrential rain, wind, and hail have descended on northwest Arkansas for the past few days, putting to the test the mettle of music fans, many of whom trekked from far to visit picturesque Mulberry Mountain.
On Thursday night Galactic had to cancel their set – and the same thing happened to them Friday, according to the band's Twitter account.
And here's the latest string from the official Wakarusa Twitter page.
@wakarusafest is it safe to pull in via riverside?
@wakarusafest Be safe you party people.
@wakarusafest today's lineup? WSP still confirmed? 1hr away and want to make sure we can park w/out getting stuck!
And this just in from Wakarusa organizers:
"Mother Nature has put on a significant and impressive display over the first 3 days of Wakarusa at Mullberry Mountain, Arkansas. Wakarusa Festival, celebrating it 10th anniversary, has taken many significant blows from the numerous storms that have moved thru the region. Only because of the undeniable dedication, skill, and spirit of the staff, artists and crowd – the festival
continues on for the final two days all be it dampened but not diminished. All sets and stages for Saturday and Sunday are expected to occur as planned at this point. Tickets sales for the event have been suspended since Thursday and remain suspended because of the extreme conditions created by the storms.
"Wakarusa wished to thank the spectacular assistance and leadership provided by the various local and state agencies and friends of the event in making a very challenging situation manageable."

Critical Accountability
Course Description
Imagine you have a colleague who's missed a deadline or failed to stay on budget. You decide to say something by bringing your best critical conversations skills into play. You stick to the facts while avoiding hasty and unflattering conclusions. Not a bad start. But the other person doesn't quickly comply. Instead he makes excuses. Would you or the people you work with know what to do next in a manner that not only solves the problem but also improves the relationship?
Real-World Application
This course builds on the skills learned in Critical Conversations and introduces a powerful set of new skills to resolve your most challenging accountability issues. It enables those who already have knowledge of critical conversations skills to diagnose why someone keeps falling short of set expectations and then derive a plan that both motivates and enables the other person to successfully change his or her behaviors. These additional skills are perfect for critical accountability conversations that seem resistant to dialogue skills alone.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, participants will know how to:
- Hold anyone accountable, regardless of position or personality
- Begin any performance discussion on the right foot—avoiding defensiveness and costly arguments
- Diagnose the underlying causes of misaligned or bad behavior
- Motivate without using power and enable without taking over

By the looks of it we'll be seeing the Samsung INNOV8 in North America, as FCC has approved the most powerful S60-powered smartphone packing the U.S.-friendly 3G support. Presumably it will be 7.2Mbps HSDPA on 850/1900MHz bands.
The most probable carriers to get this one are either Rogers or AT&T, but the fact that the INNOV8 is coming to North America is itself outstanding.

The longest zipline in Asia!
Delta Discovery Park located at Bonbon, Butuan City touted as the longest zipline in Asia, the ride is 1.3km long and takes 1 minute 45 seconds. Because of its distance, you won't have that feeling of accelerating through the air. Halfway through the zip line, it'll slow down to the speed of a cable car, letting you take in the views from the mountains to the city's skyline.
But the fun does not end there as it offers other activities such ATV ride, buggy ride, and horseback riding.
Location: Butuan City, capital of Caraga Region
How to get there: From Butuan City proper by van or bicycle en route to barangay Bonbon, and from there, take a walk as part of the adventure to the different mountains before reaching the highest peak, the Mt. Mayapay.
Distance: It will take for estimated 15 minutes by tricycle or bicycle to drop you in barangay Bonbon, then estimated 4 to 6 hours of walking from the drop point in going to Mt. Mayapay.

OK, most of my gear is five years or so old, and I am looking to do my patriotic duty and stimulate the economy.
I read a bunch of stuff by Steve House, Andy Kirkpatrick and Kelly Cordes about Pata's system and it seems to make sense. Intended use is Hood, Rainier, etc. I got an R1 Hoody and Houdini and tried them out on a hike last weekend. Temp was around 25F at the start. This combo worked great. So, my first three layers are:
1. capeline Tshirt
2. R1 Hoody
3. Houdini
My question is what for the next layer? I went ahead and got a Nanopuff (highly touted), but I haven't tried it yet. I also have an Arcteryx Gamma MX softshell. Would you recommend the Nanopuff or the Gamma MX for the outer layer? I have an older Marmot primaloft belay parka (lighter than Pata DAS) that I could put on at stops/summit/camp. I'm wondering if it makes sense to wear the Gamma MX over or in place of the Nanopuff; should I carry both?

I have secretly been waiting for Vertigo Burgers and Fries for months. Vertigo comes from the minds of the owners of Cypress, a restaurant I have always wanted to try but haven't been able to. The rumors of how high a bill can get had scared me away (for now). One day, I was browsing urbantallahassee.com and I found out about Vertigo. Ever since then I have been stalking Vertigo's website and Facebook group waiting for a hint of their opening date. That day has finally come, but the question remains, did it live up to the hype I built for it in my head?
Find out after the break
Ladies and Gentlemen, there's a new burger king in town.
Going into the place I had no idea what to expect. Would they serve fast food/classic style burgers or fancy burgers? The answer is both. They have the classics such as a burger with chili and American cheese while they also have fancy ones, such as a burger made of shrimp with remoulade. They also offer a variety of beers and wine. Burgers ranged between $8 and $9.50 while the fries were $2 to $3. The full menu can be seen below:
I had a hard time deciding between the tremor burger and triple throw down burger. The Tremor burger which was described as a beef burger with truffle tremor, bacon, sautéed mushrooms, and roasted garlic dijonaisse. Problem was, I had no idea what a truffle tremor was so I asked the staff. I was told it was an Italian cheese with truffles in it. SOLD. I ordered it with a side of half onion rings half French fries to go along with it.
The burger was really fresh. So fresh, I assume the ground the meat themselves. It had nice seasoning and was juicy, even with it being cooked well (that's their default). The cheese tasted like Brie with truffle. Very creamy and delicious. The truffle really came through which I enjoyed. Everything just came together on it. The roasted garlic dijonaisse added a nice sweetness to the salty and creamy flavors on the burger. The bacon was nice and crispy. If I had one complaint, it needed a little more of that sauce to balance it a bit better. But that is me reaching for something to complain about. The brioche bun held the burger to gather perfectly and gave it the final eggy touch. The burger was so well put together it's hard to believe it was their first day being fully open.
(Pictures are from my office, I had to order to go)
This is the best burger I have had in Tallahassee.
The French fries and onions rings were also great. They were made in house, nicely seasoned (with salt and pepper), and provided a great crunch to the meal. I had no complaints about them. The portion might even be big enough to share.
It's a small place with nice atmosphere. The entire staff was friendly. It's the kind of place where you order up front, and then they bring the food to you. It happened to be packed when I was there, taking about 45 minutes for me to get my food. However, its opening day and the manager let everyone know it would be that long for food. Honestly, with the amount of people in line to eat, I felt that 45 minutes was actually fast.
Overall, Vertigo was a fantastic experience. It's exactly what I hoped it would be and I can't wait to go back.

Help the Grove Start a Bike Share Program
The Grove, Dallas is Dallas' newest coworking community, and the first to be located within the Downtown area, in the Historic West End District. Our community represents a diverse ecosystem that includes startups, change-agents, freelancers, and mentors. We hold the values of Collaborative Consumption, Resource Sharing, and Knowledge Sharing at the core of our activities while challenging the traditional models of work and collaboration.
With this in mind, one of our current goals is to create a Bike Share Program for our members. Being centrally located in Downtown Dallas, we want our members to be able to take a bike to Klyde Warren for lunch, to Uptown for a client meeting, or even to their home at night as an alternative to using their car as a primary mode of transportation for their commute.
In order to make this dream a reality, we are currently partnering with one of our members, Daniel Garippa who is in charge of The Bicycle Garden. They take in donated bicycles of all kinds, retool them from the ground up, and then sell them to the public. Within that program, they also operate an 8 week mentorship course for local students teaching them how to rebuild bikes from the ground up. At the end of the program, the students receive a bike of their own. You can read more about The Bicycle Garden at here.
The Grove, Dallas is currently seeking partners in the biking community to sponsor our Bike Share Program. We need shops and organizations that will fund the purchasing of 10 bicycles (5 men's, 5 women's) that will be branded with The Grove logo, as well as with the sponsoring shop/organizations branding, and used on an almost daily basis for transportation by our members. Once the bikes have been purchased and branded, we will be doing a media push to all major news outlets as well as through our social media channels that will highlight the sponsors and participants in the program.
We believe this partnership will be valuable to all involved, from true monetary & community support for an amazing program such as The Bicycle Garden, a great branding and collaboration opportunity for the cycling community in Dallas, and a viable option of resource sharing for our members. We would love the opportunity to show you our space, talk a bit more about our community, and dream about the Dallas that we want to create together. Justin Nygren is the current contact person for this program and can answer any questions that you have. He can be reached at 469.236.9648

Property Description
Bedrooms: 3. Bathrooms: 2
Arborview Beach House is brand new to the rental market and is set to make a big impression on its lucky first guests. With a silver rating and a giant private pool, you should probably start packing ... the Gulf Coast is calling! The private heated pool ensures summer is always on your terms. No nervous toe-dipping to check the temperature but, instead, always a comfortable experience. A swim in your own backyard pool is a great way to start your day. Will you still be there at dinnertime? That's for you to decide. Arborview Beach House is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home for up to six guests (and your pets). Although it's very family-friendly, it's just as suitable as a meeting point for three couples. The bed selection (a king bed, two queens and a full-size futon) means nobody has to squeeze in. If you found Arborview Beach House, by rights you have full claim to the master bedroom and – lucky you – it has its own master en suite bath and private access to the pool. The new kitchen will be the heart of your vacation. Pristine stainless steel appliances make light work of even ambitious feasts, all of which you can eat outside around the pool. Get everyone involved in the cooking as there's more than enough counter space for all six of you to pitch in without bumping elbows. Set up your margarita station and your barbeque prep across the large counter space, kitchen island, breakfast bar and even into the breakfast nook. In addition to free WiFi, you'll love the easy entertainment of the immense new HDTV. Both the living room and family room face the swimming pool so, if your group is spread in two places, you'll never miss a joke or funny moment.
