|Enchanting a Disenchanted World: Continuity and Change in the Cathedrals of Consumption
|George Ritzer
|The only book to connect the everyday world of the 20-something undergraduate consumer with sound sociological analysis of the world of consumption Enchanting a Disenchanted World, Third Edition examines Disney, malls, cruise lines, Las Vegas, the world wide web, Planet Hollywood, credit cards, and all the other ways we now consume. Thoroughly updated to reflect the recent economic recession and the impact of the internet, bestselling author George Ritzer continues to explore this book's central thesis: that our society has undergone fundamental change because of the way and the level at which we consume. This Third Edition demonstrates how we have created new "cathedrals" of consumption (places that enchant us so as to entice us to stay longer and consume more) while continuing to take capitalism to a new level. These places of consumption, whether in our homes, the mall, or cyberspace, are in a constant state of "enchanting the disenchanted," luring us through new spectacles because their rational qualities are both necessary and deadening at the same time. New and Hallmark FeaturesOffers a unique analysis of the world of consumption, especially the settings in which consumption takes placeDiscusses the recent global economic recession throughout Offers rich details on consuming in such places as Las Vegas, Disney World, on cruise ships, in Wal-Mart, at McDonald's, and, new to this edition, on the WebIncludes a wide range of theoretical perspectives-Marxian, Weberian, critical theory, postmodern theory-as well as a number of concepts such as hyperconsumption, implosion, simulation, and time and space to show students how sociological theory can be applied to everyday phenomena

The paintings look good.
Few things to start working on.

lookin good so far!
...the imperfections make it interesting...
[sketchbook] [deviantart]
I know that I am not able to draw good postures, I guess its because 2-3 years ago I concentrated on drawing dresses/clothes and now I concentrate more on drawing faces, so I kinda missed to learn it. You will notice that most of my newer drawings are mostly faces...
the girl with the gun is kind of the first serious work, in which i am trying to draw something different, I sew that theres still not everything right with her body, but i don't know how or rather what I should change,for it to look better...
well her left arm does not have the right proportions...an than theres this problem with her shoulder..
This picture is a sketch for a T-shirt Design i am supposed to do for a school project...
A painting i did about half a year ago. it is far from perfect, but i like this one more than the finished version i did of this one...

On the first picture i plan to change the hair and the body, ,maybe the hair colour too.
The other pictures are just some sketches, but i plan on finishing the dark one, with the model
^ agree. Nice sb. Love your color use and the way you draw skin.
Das pinkne ist hammer!
done in two hours, still dont like the lips
unfinished sketch was trying out a different style
Hi murderbunny, really nice stuff so far you are definitely talented with colours. Interms of anatomy, working from references and using them to get the shape of thr figure down really helps. As does doing gesture drawings. Most will suggest life drawing classes but if you don't have access to that just grab some pictures of the web and use them for practice.the girl with the gun is kind of the first serious work, in which i am trying to draw something different, I sew that theres still not everything right with her body, but i don't know how or rather what I should change,for it to look better...

"This is a paint and pixel-splattered furnace that forges the swords of artistic mastery. This is a place where swarthy and belligerent dwarves drink turpentine mead, berate their apprentices and slap the trade into their skulls. It's where the anvils are made of graphite, the hammers are as true as rectangular marquee selections and the fires burn with the light of a thousand lensflares." --Jason Rainville

the hand ist too small -.-
love these two

Candles and flowers now mark the spot where Kelly Thomas was brutally beaten by Fullerton Police officers two years ago.
"It means a lot to me. It means a lot to the family that you guys are sticking by our sides. It means a lot to us," said the victim's mother, Cathy Thomas.
Dozens showed up at the vigil for Kelly Thomas, who was a known schizophrenic and homeless.
"Kelly was just an innocent person, just a citizen walking through a parking lot and for that he was murdered by the police," said the victim's father Ron Thomas.
Though officers were called because of a disturbance, Kelly Thomas was cleared of any wrong doing that night.
"This is probably the biggest nightmare of every parent of a child that has schizophrenia or a serious mental illness," said Nomi Lonky, a member of the
National Alliance of Mental Illness who was at the vigil to show her support.
Witnesses reported officers hit Thomas in the face and head repeatedly and tased him several times even though Thomas was complying with their commands.
The beating was also caught on camera, Kelly Thomas' pleas for help can be heard. "That's really been eating at me a lot lately. It really hurts my heart to know how he died," said his mom Cathy.
Three officers are facing charges and community pressure has also led to other changes. "We've done a lot of positive things, got policies and procedures changed here in Fullerton. Personnel changed…" said Ron Thomas. But Ron adds, there's still a long way to go in his fight.
One of the former Fullerton police officers facing charges in this case is still in the process of appealing his case. The other two officers charged are scheduled to begin their trial in October.

The Jackson Fire Department's five fire investigators have been cracking down on fires that they suspect are intentionally set.
JFD Chief Investigator Greg Travis says 16 arson indictments have been handed down in the past few weeks.
One of the cases was a house in the 3400 block of Shady Oaks Street in Jackson that burned in January 2012. Frederick McDonald is accused of starting the fire. He's charged with arson, aggravated assault and house burglary.
Authorities say a domestic squabble resulted in the fire at a house on Prosperity Street in July. Tammy Lacey and Cindy White have been charged with arson in that case.
Nothing but a pile of ruins stands in a lot in the 100 block of Minerva Street. Larry McLauren, 58, is charged with burning down the structure, and he's still awaiting indictment.
"We're trying to make certain we get the bad guys off the streets," Travis said.
Travis tells us the overwhelming majority of the arson cases appear to be crimes of spite or revenge, including one fire set on Northside Drive recently.
"A gentleman was upset with a female companion. He went to the door, got ignitable liquid, poured it at the door, used an open flame to ignite it. There were some people occupying the apartment at that particular time," Travis said.
No one was killed in that fire or any of the others fires in these cases.
Travis says the crackdown sends a message that arson won't be tolerated in the Capital City.

money printing cannot stop. The last tapering wish did not happen. All the QE did not work, and must be continue to prop up the economy. They may even increase the dosage just to keep it from collapseing. The planned Syria war did not happen. They are trying to create attention away from the economy with African dances like in Kenya, and Lybia. Now the diversion is with the shutdown and debt ceiling. THe collaspe is coming, and the administration play hardball with the opposition, When it happen, and it certainly will, they have a scapegoat. Obamagadan can be now call Republicdadon.

The next thing I am able to announce today is another participatory online event. It is the Woodworker's Journal Asia Travel Blog. I will be leaving in September to visit several factories that make woodworking tools in Taiwan and mainland China. I'll be posting photos, stories and even video documenting each day of the trip. So, again, you'll get to join in the travel experience, but without having to get the vaccinations. (I'm always thinking of you.)

Islamic finance relies on too few of its scholars
The Islamic finance industry is not short of qualified sharia scholars to meet growing demand, but it relies too heavily on a handful of them, limiting growth potential and raising regulatory concerns, experts say.
Islamic finance experts have previously said the nearly $1 trillion industry is struggling to find scholars with the business acumen, technology and language skills necessary to help the sector evolve.
(Photo: A trader at the Saudi Investment Bank in Riyadh, March 18, 2008/Fahad Shadeed)
But consultancy Funds@Work found that more than 300 scholars sit on the sharia boards of Islamic institutions. However, it said that just 20 of these scholars appear on 54 percent of such boards.
Volker Nienhaus, consultant to the Malaysia-based regulatory body Islamic Financial Services Board, said "There are problems with conflict of interest, there may be confidentiality problems, and the top scholars are overburdened so lack of time is a problem…Islamic finance standards right now are not up to the standard of European regulators."

Message from Fellowship Director
Thank you for your interest in our interventional radiology fellowship. We currently have five ACGME approved fellowship appointments for one year of training.
Interventional Radiology (IR) represents one of the most dynamic and exciting fields in medicine today. Major surgical procedures, many of them having significant perioperative morbidity and mortality, have now been replaced by minimally invasive interventional procedures that can often be performed on an outpatient basis.
The interventional radiology service at the University of Washington and associated hospitals perform a full spectrum of vascular and nonvascular procedures in both adult and pediatric populations. Included among these are diagnostic angiography, percutaneous angioplasty and stenting, embolization therapy, percutaneous tumor ablative therapies, thrombolysis, gastrointestinal/biliary interventions, genitourinary interventions, transplant interventions, dialysis fistula/graft evaluation and treatment, drainage and/or sclerosis, venous ablation, and vascular access. We have a very large volume of oncology work at the University Hospital and are very active in both chemoembolization and radioembolization, as well as, percutaneous ablative therapies such as radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, ethanol ablation, and more recently irreversible electroporation(IRE)/nanoknife. Fellows get lots of exposure to peripheral vascular interventions with our volume at the Veteran's Hospital where we have a collaborative relationship including shared clinic with the vascular surgeons. Our county hospital, Harborview, is the only level one trauma center for several states and there is a large volume of emergent embolization from blunt trauma. Fellows also participate in a one month rotation at Seattle Children's Hospital.
The entire section is an active clinical service, with several outpatient clinics, and an inpatient service with active participation by fellows, residents, physician assistants, and nurse coordinators. The overall goal of the training program is to merge imaging expertise with not only technical skills, but also clinical skills. Fellows will be involved in all aspects of patient care including image interpretation, evaluation of new patients, procedures, inpatient and outpatient care, patient follow-up, and will also be given opportunities to be involved in research and participate in multidisciplinary boards (such as tumor boards).

Qualcomm: Best-in-breed smartphone play
This chipmaker has an impressive patent portfolio, strong cash and a cheap stock price.
Qualcomm (QCOM) continues to be the top chipmaker for high-end smartphones. Its best-in-breed technology is considered the only one to offer a complete processing solution that allows for all the features consumers are looking for (such as WiFi and GPS).
Meanwhile, the stock -- a selection on our Recommended List -- announced a new stock buyback program and an increase to its dividend.
The mobile chipmaker will up its quarterly distribution by 40% from 25 cents per share to 35 cents per share. The new dividend will be payable after March 27. The increase payout bumps its yield up to about 2.1%.
The company also implemented a new $5 billion stock buyback program effective immediately. It will replace a $4 billion repurchase program that had $2.5 billion remaining on it. The buyback has no expiration date.
Qualcomm is a very cash rich company, ending its fiscal Q1 with $28.4 billion in cash and investments and no debt, equal to about $16.22 per share. It also generated $1.98 billion in operating cash flow and $1.85 billion in free cash flow last quarter.
The move to return cash to shareholders is a good one, as it doesn't want to fall into the same trap as Apple and have a huge cash hoard for which it gets no credit. Our only complaint is that the company could have easily returned more.
All in all, we continue to think Qualcomm is a cheap stock (trading at about 10.7 times the FY14, ending September, consensus of $4.86 excluding its net cash) riding a strong trend of smartphone growth.
Its licensing business, which makes up about 75% of its revenue, is a virtual printing press that is benefiting from the shift to 3G/4G smartphones, with emerging markets becoming a meaningful growth driver, led by China and Latin America.
Through its impressive patent portfolio, the company generates a huge revenue stream that, importantly, is derived based on a percentage of revenue, not units sold, in most cases.
Thus, Qualcomm receives a royalty every time a consumer switches from a 2G phone to a 3G (or 4G) smartphone, even if it isn't the one providing the chips. We rate the stock a "Buy" with a $78 target.

Groton — A twin engine Piper Comanche had to make an emergency landing Monday morning at the Groton-New London Airport.
John Wallace, director of communication at the Connecticut Airport Authority, said an initial distress call was made at 8:51 a.m. after the aircraft had lost use of one of its engines.
The plane landed safely at 9 a.m. Wallace said emergency personnel were on standby.
Wallace said because the plane is a general aviation aircraft it is not required to file a flight plan. He said he did not know where the plane was coming from or heading to.
Airport officials said four people were on board. No injuries were reported.

Don't give up. I am 53 and never married. I would have loved to have been married with children. You have had both of these gifts in your life.
I will never give up. God has plans for me I know. This is one of my favorite quotes from Jerimiah:
Jerimiah 29: 11 For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the Lord,
plans for your welfare, not for woe!, plans to give you a future full of hope.
Carolyn, that is my favorite verse, too! It is what helped me through the divorce. I read it every day and my favorite Bibke is still in my room open to that verse. :)

Protein for which at least one variant, responsible for a disease, is described in the feature table of its Swiss-Prot entry.
Protein which, if defective, causes neurodegeneration.
Protein which, if defective, causes classic Parkinson disease. Parkinson disease is a complex multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder, usually occurring in late life, although an early onset and a juvenile form are known. Typical features are masklike facies, tremor of resting muscles, a slowing of voluntary movements (bradykinesia), festinating gait and postural instability. The signs and symptoms of the disease are the consequence of a striatal deficiency of dopamine, resulting from neuronal death in the substantia nigra. Parkinson disease is characterized by the presence of Lewy bodies, intraneuronal inclusions found in many brain regions which are not entirely specific to, but are a highly sensitive marker for, Parkinson disease.
Protein which, if defective, causes parkinsonism. Parkinsonism refers to disorders, both genetic and non-genetic, characterized by four primary parkinsonian symptoms: tremor, rigidity, postural instability and bradykinesia, resulting from the loss or dysfunction of dopamine- producing neurons in the substantia nigra. Lewy bodies, intraneuronal accumulations of aggregated proteins, may or may not be present in the brain of the patients.
A reference proteome is a set of protein sequences derived from a complete proteome which constitutes a defined standard for a particular user community. Reference proteomes are manually defined according to a number of criteria. They cover the proteomes of well- studied model organisms and other proteomes of interest for biomedical and biotechnological research. Reference proteomes have been selected to provide broad coverage of the tree of life, and constitute a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity to be found within UniProtKB.

Even before the war officially started, people began asking, "What effect will this have on e-business?" I mean, you can't have consumer attention focused so intensely on one event and not expect it to affect buying behavior!
The fabled Martian Wars are just that – fabled. We green folk don't do conflict. So, for some perspective on this question, I turned to Jim Novo former Vice President for Marketing and Sales at the Home Shopping Network. He got to closely monitor the market during the Gulf War.
And here's what Jim had to say by way of reply.
"Since I was at Home Shopping Network during the last round of this war, I'm one of very few people who were actually running an interactive business during the last conflict. Sales got soft as people were distracted by the conflict and realized sometimes there are more important issues to pay attention to. But as soon as the outcome of the conflict became clear, sales bounced back.
"At HSN, sales dropped about 25% during this period, due to both fewer units shipped and a fall in average order total. This happened despite the fact TV viewing was up – and when you are selling on TV, increased viewership is usually a good thing! Looks like the same effect is present this time – overall web traffic is up, but traffic to individual retail sites is down.
"There are still things to pay attention to though, if you want to reduce this "war effect" on your store - and I'm not talking about "taking advantage" of the war to sell patriotic items. I'm talking about subtle shifts in buying behavior you may need to acknowledge within your current inventory.
"HSN always sold American Flags back then, starting years before the war. And we failed to predict how much demand would increase, promptly selling completely out of flags during the war. In this decade, I'm seeing clients who have camouflage-styled items – not usually a huge seller – finding demand rising for those products. When the war looks to be coming to a close, I believe demand for flag-styled items will increase. So you might take a look at how you can prepare for – not exploit – changes in demand the war will bring."
As I consider this question from a marketing perspective, I've gotta say that, regardless of your own personal feelings, taking a neutral position is probably best. It's almost impossible to determine exactly what might be offensive to whom – an action or statement you believe is sincere and caring can seem contrived and manipulative to someone else. You really don't want to run the risk of being misunderstood or offending folks (perhaps permanently).
Now is not the time to try out bold new directions. Indeed, it's a very good time to maintain what you are doing with confidence. Patriotism comes in many flavors. Be sensitive and aware, especially if you have a global audience. Do what you can to prepare, plan on subtle changes in the buying behaviors of your visitors. And stay the course. Remember, we're all in this together.

I'm no consumer activist – although sometimes I get riled up enough to consider becoming one. But that isn't the point of this little musing. What I want you to consider here is the issue of trust and credibility on your Web site.
I've often said the appearance of your site has a lot to do with whether or not your visitors think they can trust you. The trouble is that just because you look credible doesn't mean you aren't out to scam your visitors. Well … not you personally! <grinning sheepishly>
Consider this story.
I use Windows XP. A while ago, I started seeing those "Messenger Service" windows with no clickable links pop up on my computer. I looked into the situation – several of the pop ups promised I could block these messages forever – knowing full well anything that wants to help you get rid of the advertising venue it just used is probably suspect. I went to www.blockmessenger.com. Here's what I read:
Have you ever had an advertisement pop-up out of nowhere on your desktop?
Congratulations, you've been hit by the newest form of unwanted advertising, or spam. This message was sent to your computer through a built in feature that Microsoft included in your copy of Windows 2000, NT, or XP. These types of spam messages are worse than unwanted e-mail since you don't even need to have an e-mail account or web browser. If you are one of the millions of people who get unwanted messages like these everyday, there is hope.
After doing a little research I found the only way to block these spam messages from ever appearing on my screen required doing extensive tweaking and configuring of my computer. It didn't seem right that I had to go through so many hoops just to stop these unwanted messages. I can see how it can be almost intimidating to some people. To help out the millions who don't want to receive these messenger spam pop-ups but are to [sic] intimidated to do anything about it, I came up with an easy solution. With Messenger Blocker, you can block these unwanted and illegal pop-up messages forever with the click of a button! No longer do you have sit and wait as your computer freezes or crashes due to one of these messages. Messenger Blocker will block each and every pop-up ad sent through Microsoft's Messenger Service.
The copy makes you feel this guy's got your best interests at heart, right? And the site looks avant garde. Theoretically nice little privacy policy. 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Ready to get the cash. $29.99. Very small, straightforward site. However: no contact number, no mention of who this dude is, no company information other than Messenger Blocker, and the info address on the privacy policy page is different to the info address on the home page. Hmmm.
So I tried the other url I had: www.fightmessenger.com. Conservative, believable. Highly values my privacy. This company appears to be called "Message Away," but it's got the same copy as the other site, the same privacy policy, the same flash visual. No stated connection. And here you only have to pay $19.99 for the product.
Then I mistyped the first address – www.blockmessanger.com – and landed on a wholly unexpected site: PopUpKiller Info's Messenger Spam page. Here I learned I can stop this kind of spam myself in four very easy steps for free. Well, well. So much for "extensive tweaking and configuring."
I figure, if this person really was concerned about the intimidated millions, he'd post those four easy steps on his various Web sites. He could offer the program for download in the event you chose not to fix it yourself. Then, and only then, would I feel I hadn't been taken for a ride.
The folks who do questionably crummy things make it difficult for the folks who do honest things. Just as email spam makes it hard for folks to feel comfortable even with legitimate opt-in emailing, so online scams from Web sites that look credible are going to make it more difficult for the Good Guys.
The poor fellow who forked over $29.99 and then discovered the fix was free and easy, may be coming to your site next. He's jaded and cynical because he's been burned. How are you going to help him know you're a Good Guy?

Key Insights On Adjunctive Procedures With Transmetatarsal Amputations
- Volume 24 - Issue 3 - March 2011
- 14583 reads
- 0 comments
Can Tendon Balancing Procedures Have An Adjunctive Impact?
In regard to flexor hallucis longus and extensor digitorum longus tendon transfers, surgeons transfer the flexor hallucis longus and the tendon slips of the extensor digitorum longus to the residual first and fourth metatarsal respectively via drill holes. One then secures these transfers while the residual foot is held in a neutral position to create a dynamic correction of varus deformity of the residual foot. This procedure has the same advantage as intramedullary screw placement with no need for additional incisions.14,28
Surgeons would perform transfer of the peroneus brevis to the peroneus longus either through an incision on the lateral foot or distal lateral leg. One transects the peroneus brevis tendon via electrocautery and weaves it through the peroneus longus tendon in a Pulvertaft weave fashion while the residual foot is held in a neutral position. This results in dynamic correction of a varus deformity of the foot due to the increased pull on the medial aspect of the residual foot. The advantages of incision placement on the distal lateral leg, as opposed to the lateral foot, are increased healing potential — paramount in patients with vascular compromise — and the lack of need for reconstruction of the peroneal tendon sheath.14,27
Roukis and colleagues reported on a total of 29 patients (29 feet) who underwent a TMA.14 Twenty-seven patients (27 feet) had an equinus deformity present with 26 undergoing a percutaneous Achilles tendon lengthening or gastrocnemius recession. Twenty-two feet had a residual forefoot varus deformity with 17 feet undergoing correction. Surgeons used an intramedullary screw in five cases, performed flexor hallucis longus and extensor digitorum longus tendon transfers in five cases, and performed a peroneus brevis to peroneus longus tendon transfer in seven cases. The researchers did not perform tendon balancing procedures if they deemed them unnecessary or unfeasible due to limited regional perfusion.
Only three patients, none of whom underwent any tendon balancing procedures, ulcerated on the plantar lateral aspect of the residual foot with one requiring a Chopart amputation, one requiring a BKA and one cardiac-related death. The study authors reported no hardware infections with the use of intramedullary screw placement. One patient had transient eversion weakness after the peroneus brevis to peroneus longus tendon transfer. However, this resolved with self-directed physical therapy of performing daily dorsiflexion-eversion exercises of the residual foot. The study authors found no other complications.
Final Notes
The goal of any limb salvage procedure is to create a stable, plantigrade foot. One can protect the foot postoperatively in a shoe or brace, which allows maintenance of function while withstanding repeated stress that occurs during ambulation.
A TMA is effective in facilitating these goals as one can maintain limb length and protect the residual foot in shoe gear with a custom insert, with or without adjunctive bracing, for continued ambulation. The most common reported complications of a TMA are an equinus or equinovarus deformity of the residual foot and recurrent ulceration. Various researchers have also described these complications as the most common technique-based complications of a TMA. While the addition of an Achilles tendon procedure has become a common adjunctive procedure to a TMA, one also needs to address correction of the dynamic varus deformity of the residual rearfoot in order to minimize recurrent ulceration following a TMA.

The Einstein community remembered a remarkable faculty member – and recognized another remarkable scientist who was once his colleague – at the Dennis Shields Memorial Lecture on Monday, November 5.
Dr. Peter Walter, distinguished professor at the University of California, San Francisco, spoke on "The Unfolded Protein Response in Health and Disease."
The memorial lecture honored Dr. Dennis Shields, an internationally recognized cellular biologist who died in 2008 after serving on the faculty for 30 years. At the time of his passing, Dr. Shields was a much-loved professor of developmental and molecular biology and of anatomy and structural biology. He also had served as the first director of the Belfer Institute for Advanced Biomedical Sciences, which oversees postdoctoral life at Einstein.
Drs. Shields and Walter worked briefly together in the Rockefeller University lab of Nobel laureate Dr. Günter Blobel.
In his lecture, Dr. Walter discussed how cells detect and respond to proteins that are assembled and folded improperly in the endoplasmic reticulum. Controlling levels of misfolded proteins is critical, because excessive levels can lead to cell death and play a role in diseases such as diabetes and cancer.
Dr. Walter was introduced by another former colleague of Dr. Shields, Dr. E. Richard Stanley, who holds the Renee E. and Robert A. Belfer Chair in Developmental Biology.
The remembrance of Dr. Shields continued on Tuesday, November 13, when three Einstein postdoctoral fellows received the 2012 Dennis Shields Prizes for Outstanding Postdoctoral Research.
The $5,000 prizes, which recognize published research done at Einstein, went to Drs. José Javier Bravo-Cordero, in anatomy and structural biology; Saidi M'Homa Soudja, in microbiology & immunology; and Brian Scharf, in pathology.
The awards were presented by Dr. Allen Spiegel, the Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz Dean at Einstein; Dr. Jonathan Backer, the current director of the Belfer Institute; and Mrs. Toni Shields, the widow of Dr. Shields.
The awardees presented brief overviews of their work at a ceremony and luncheon, which also featured poster sessions by other postdocs. Five of these researchers were honored with travel awards of $500 toward attending future scientific meetings.

The Woman in Black review
Movies have a way of projecting themselves onto their viewers. I can't tell you how many times I've walked out of a good action film with a purpose to my step, hopped into my car with cool confidence, and drove the little wreck just a bit faster and more cleanly than usual. Sometimes the effect is more subtle than that, and with the horror film, The Woman in Black, it was the simple... Read More

Trained as a sculptor, David Yurman approaches the design of a piece of jewelry from every angle. "It's about the whole piece," he says. "How it feels in your hand, how it looks on the back as well as the front." He combines shape and form to create designs with volume and dimension—wearable sculpture. "Form is form," he explains, "whether it hangs on a wall, goes on a pedestal, goes on a wrist, or goes on a neck."
David Yurman elevates the classic curb link to a sublime level in finely crafted bracelets either smooth or studded with gemstones.

Letter from the UGA Alumni Assciation president
As your Alumni Association president, the spring semester is a great time to re-connect with loyal UGA graduates attending the annual alumni awards luncheon and also to welcome students to alumni membership as their degrees are conferred at commencement. These activities for me reaffirm why it's great to be a Georgia Bulldog.
This year's spring commencement was an evening ceremony at Sanford Stadium featuring remarks by Food Network's Alton Brown ('04) and concluding with a spectacular fireworks display. For the students, it was an exciting way to begin their time as UGA alumni. Earlier in the spring, it was my pleasure to emcee our annual alumni awards ceremony, as the Association honored four with special ties to UGA. Atlanta businessman John McMullan ('58, '60) received our Alumni Merit Award; the Watson-Brown Foundation was honored as our Friend of UGA; Craig and Diana Barrow (both '65) were recognized as the UGA Family of the Year; and former UGA provost Arnett Mace was our Faculty Service Award recipient. Congratulations to all. It also was great to recognize Athens entrepreneur C. L. Morehead (BSA '50) with a special Board of Regents Hall of Fame Alumni Award.
Our alumni association has so much of which we are proud and our programs and outreach to our 260,000 UGA graduates are expanding every year. As graduates and friends, we are called to serve our university and advance its mission. Now more than ever, UGA needs your support of the university's annual Georgia Fund, which benefits today's students through academic support and also yesterday's students through the alumni association. It's through your annual gifts that we're able to support scholarships, faculty positions and alumni programming.
Renew your support of UGA in this, our University's 225th year, by making an annual fund contribution. By doing so, you will make the work of the alumni association more successful, and you will help UGA students for generations to come.
—Vic Sullivan (BBA '80), president, UGA Alumni Association

I was hesitant to buy these shades. The price is very reasonable and usually with window coverings you get what you paid for. We have so many windows in our house it would take a small fortune to pay to have all the coverings installed so I took a chance and I'm glad I did. These shades are light but seem to be well-made and function smoothly up and down. The installation was easy. I inside mounted them and the brackets they come with have multiple ways to attach. I appreciated the option that allows you to slide the bracket slightly forward or backward to adjust the depth of the shade perfectly (instead of a small screw hole there are also longer channels that can be screwed into allowing you to slightly move the brackets back and forth before tightening them in place). I also liked that the mounting brackets are able to attach on the backside of the shades rather than on the ends. This allows you to order as close to the width of the window as possible, preventing large gaps on the sides for light to come through. These shades only soften the light and are not blackout ones but I am using them with curtains and together they shut out the light when I want but then I have the option to have diffused light as well. I highly recommend these shades.
Very happy with these cellular shades. Purchased them for a spare bedroom and I am so happy with them that i will be purchasing more for my bedroom. Easy to install and operate. Delighted with this product and at 25 -50% lower than anywhere else I checked, they are a great bargain.
I got these blinds for the kitchen. I wanted to keep it bright but filter the light. They were easy to install, sturdy, and the up/down mechanism works great. I am very happy with this purchase and will probably use these to replace the remaining 2 windows in my living room.
Is as pictured and easy to install. Very good value. Really helps block the sun and heat.
This came with all the parts necessary for installation. The instructions were not easy to read. I referred to an onion video that made it really easy to install. Even though I drilled my brackets in a bit crooked, the blinds snapped in place with no issues and looked great!
I got these for my daughter's bedroom. While they are not blockout shades, they do a nice job of effectively filtering the morning sun. They look just like the picture and the quality seems very nice. So far, so good.
Very easy to install..takes about 5 minutes once you have the tools (drill and screwdriver). I have ordered several of these and will continue to order them for other rooms in my house as we continue to redecorate. I also have the room darkening ones for in the bedrooms and they are wonderful!
Needed some shades for a sunny window. These are unobtrusive and block enough light to cool things down, without making it totally dark. Just what we needed. As others have said, the instructions are minimalist, but a bit of thought lets you figure them out.
So pleased I finally purchased these. Easy to install. Look great. Cordless feature is so convenient and works so well.
I have been looking at different shade options for my apartment, really for years. Because I knew the investment was going to be pricey, I would never bite the bullet and make the decision. I wanted something with clean lines that would fit well with my 1920s windows (i didn't want drapes to cover my pretty window mouldings), that insulates for sound and heat/cold and also had blackout options for the bedrooms. When i found these at the price, I ordered them for every window in my place. They arrived exactly as advertised (and quite quickly), I found them very easy to install with the straightforward top-mounted brackets (you don't need to allow for any extra space in your measurements). They look great and have been nice to have through the summer. I can't vouch yet for how much they do insulate for winter, and we've had a fairly mild summer as well. However, all in all they are a nice product, they easily go up and down and look great in every of my rooms. Now that I've found them, I can't believe how long it took me. Also, Overstock made this really easy. They arrived quickly after my order, and when I discovered that I had gotten one in the wrong size, the return process was seamless (you can ship yourself for full refund, or return on their dime with a pre-printed shipping label for a full store credit. They made it so easy.

When Thompson Square isn't on the road or in the studio, they're spending time at their house down in Alabama. The home has the perfect shelf for Keifer and Shawna Thompson to display their two ACM top Vocal Duo trophies, too.
Shawna tells ABC News Radio, "We bought the house and they were there, and we're like, 'Yes, this is perfect. We can put our awards up there.' They have cool little lights that shine down on 'em."
Since they live away from Nashville, people who come in to work on their house are often starstruck when they see Thompson Square's trophies or gold and platinum plaques on the wall.
"It's weird because we've had a couple of 'em that's like, 'Man, I thought that was you,'" Keifer says. "To be recognized down there is really strange."
Thompson Square could win their third consecutive Top Vocal Duo of the Year trophy at Sunday night's ACM Awards. The show airs at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

Cool moment captured on live TV ... when two of the pro gay marriage plaintiffs in the anti-Prop 8 case got an unexpected congratulatory phone call from President Obama ... moments after today's historic Supreme Court ruling.
Kris Perry and Sandy Stier were giving a live interview on MSNBC ... when someone ran over with a cell phone and said Obama was on the line.
The phone was quickly switched to speaker ... and everyone listened in as the Commander-In-Chief congratulated the two on a job well done.
In fact, one of the people huddled around the phone invited Obama to the wedding.
Very cool moment.
I bet Obummer is upset the ant-abortion bill passed in Texas though, and there closing clinics down.
Makes me want to puke.
The world has officially gone to hell......
Our President is a stooge, it's sad this country elected him twice.
Can you post a video of Harvey in his Liza Minelli shirt and doing his happy dance? Thanks.
Great Story America is finally growing up I'm straight but why should Gay people not have rights.
TMZ has gay employees your site should start to stand up more for the Gay people of America.
The economy and foreign policy are just afterthoughts compared to this!!! This is what you all voted for...
The majority of people lose again. When gay married is put up for a public vote it loses every time. But because of the courts they back doors us again. I don't like being back doored mind say exit only!!
Unemployment has never gone down. People are now finding out that the free healthcare promised by Obama really isn't going to be free causing business to stop hiring, We still have troops getting killed in Afghanistan and the only thing this president gets excited about is that two men can put their twinkies together legally after their date night at the gay bar..... Out country is doomed.
well obama tapes everyone elses calls...so might as well tape his
Obama calling some lesbians - "very cool moment"
Obama/Snowden/NSA - not even a mention

Active Object Pitfalls
From Nokia Developer Wiki

Created: Den123 (26 Jun 2007)
Last edited: hamishwillee (02 Feb 2012)
A stray-event panic from the Active Scheduler ( E32USER-CBASE 46 error ) is a most common problem with an Active Objects. This is ussually caused by one ( or more ) of the following:
- You forgot to call CActiveScheduler::Add() before starting the Active Object.
- You dont call SetActive() after issuing an async request.
- Passing the same iStatus to two service providers at the same time ( multiple requests outstanding on the same Active Object ).
Do not invoke DoCancel() directly - it should be private - always call Cancel(). Note that Cancel() should be always be called in the destructor of your derived class.
Other related pitfalls (triggering other panics):
- Using your own TRequestStatus variable, instead of using the one provided by CActive.
- Passing automatic variables when doing an asynchronous request.
Careless use of active objects can degrade the response time of UI in case of:
- Priority of active object is higher than it is necessary
- Method RunL() works too long

So we come to the part of the evening when the Fox crew must grapple with Virginia not falling neatly into the Romney column. THEY HAD FEELINGS THAT IT WOULD. And now the feelings are hurt.
Tucker Carlson, who is a friend and I suspect also some kind of performance artist, points out — correctly! — that there are a lot of blacks in Virginia! Also in Pennsylvania. He makes this point, too: "There's something what went basically unnoticed by the press and that was the Obama campaign making a push of social issues, particularly abortion, and that seems to have worked. I don't recall seeing a single national TV show taking on abortion." Later: "If you were a voter in a white, working class state, you had no idea that they were running a campaign based on abortion!"
Dana Perino concurred: Yes, abortion was a thing for Obama, a topic "which NOBODY on the Republican side was bringing up as an issue." Unless they were were talking about rape, of course.
Yes, this was definitely A SECRET OBAMA PLAN. Not a part of his stump speech or anything. There definitely weren't ads. Not in, say, a white, working class state such as Missouri. Hey, remind me: Was abortion an issue in the race there?
If Tucker is correct, then we need a new category: no-information voters.

TechCrunch reports
Three and a half years ago, Google made what seemed to be a pretty big $100 million acquisition: FeedBurner. You remember that company, right? They're the ones that dominated RSS management before all of that real time tech came along and rendered it obsolete for many people. Today, Google is putting the real time paddles to FeedBurner's heart in an attempt to rivive it.
If you visit FeedBurner today, you'll see a "Try out our NEW (beta) version!" message in the top menu. Clicking on this will take you to the new version. So what's new? The entire look and feel has been revamped. The new Home screen is loaded up with overview stats and alerts for the sites you run. But the real key, of course, is in the Feeds area.
Here is a screenshot of the new experimental interface that has some genetic connections to Google Analytics. Notice the family resemblance.
The Adsense for Feeds blog tells us
Good news! Today, we will be rolling out a new, experimental interface for Google FeedBurner. The real story is what's new under the hood, however: the new interface provides real time stats for clicks, views, and podcast downloads, which means you can start seeing what content is drawing traffic from feed readers, Twitter, and other syndicated sources as it happens.
So while many of the cool kids have been talking about the death of RSS we have a voice here that feels differently. Now that Google appears to be showing interest in breathing some new life into the product maybe there will be less planning for the funeral of RSS and more planning for a revival.
What's your take on RSS feeds? Do you use them? How do you use them? Is the inclusion of real time data helping you to warm up to it again?

Two years later: A look back at Mary Han
Courtesy of Rosario Lynn Vega
As the announcement broke Tuesday that our police force is under investigation by the feds, I was making the final edits to an article about civil rights lawyer Mary Han. She died two years ago, and though the Albuquerque Police Department declared her death a suicide, people who knew her say there's no way.
The crime scene was so badly handled, according to her family, it will be nearly impossible to find out what happened to Han, an attorney who never shied away from taking on APD or the city. Twenty-six people—officers, APD brass, high-ranking city officials—went to Han's house that day, according to the civil lawsuit.
I got a chance to speak with a friend of Han's about her passion and dedication. If it could happen to her, it could happen to anyone, says the family's attorney, Rosario Vega Lynn.

NBA 2K13 Returns To The Court With Kinect, But No PlayStation Move
Posted on August 11, 2012 AT 02:49pm
Microsoft's Xbox 360 will be the console of choice for basketball fans with NBA 2K13, as the hugely successful series will be featuring some new Kinect-only features. Unfortunately for Sony, the PlayStation Move won't be getting the same treatment, as 2K Sports is dropping support for the PS3′s motion control system.
Joystiq reports the news from recent demo with the game, also talking about the new addition of voice controls via Kinect.
It's very similar to the voice control options you'll find in EA's Madden 13 and FIFA 13 titles, being able to call out plays, direct teammates, and call shots.
Like FIFA, though, cursing at the screen isn't recommended, as it'll most likely earn you a technical foul.
It seems like PS Move was just too difficult to hone into a reliable feature, as demonstrated when the LA Lakers' Kobe Bryant fumbled with the system at an E3 2011 demo presentation.
NBA 2K13 will release this year on October 2nd, and will face competition with EA's upcoming NBA Live 13.
