Of course he wasn't want to engage in physical sports activities but in the academic...if you tried to challenge him there then just prepared to be shamed. Everyone knew this to be true when a girl last year but the name is Cindy, new of course, challenged gym in a debate only to leave in tears. not only did Jim get every student on his side, but for an extra measure he proved everything she had presented to be very wrong thinking and named all the reasons why.

DOVER, Del. - Two brothers have been charged with drug offenses, in Kent County. Dover Police say they wrapped up a month long drug investigation with a search of a home on Gleneagles Court. During the search they say, they found 97 bags of heroin, a mix of pills, and several items of drug paraphernalia.
At the home, two brothers, Brock and Corey Cerklefski, were arrested.
37-year-old Brock was charged with 3 counts of delivery of heroin, possession with intent to distribute heroin, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of alprozolam, possession of methadone, possession of clonazepam, possession of lorazepam, and possession of carisprodo. He is being held at James T. Vaughn Correctional on $16,000 bond.
23-year-old Corey was charged with possession of heroin, and possession of drug paraphernalia, and is being held at JTVCC on $7,000 bond.

Well, we've come to the end of our first week back and what a week it has been. As we normally do here at Mr. CFB we'll celebrate Friday by throwing open the discussion for any topic. It can be college football, politics, music or anything your little heart desires. But, as always, please keep it clean.
Let me get the party started. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves.
1. Kudos to Georgia for kicking two-a-days to the curb. College football coaches are, with very few exceptions, traditionalists. They have always believed that two-a-days in August is where you toughen your team up and get them ready for the season. The fact is that in the modern day weight training programs, it is the offseason where you actually start building your team and instilling mental toughness. Since the NCAA limits teams to 29 practices in preseason, it makes more sense to limit practices to one a day and spend the time in between studying film and learning.

The one that's calibrated.
Calibration is only one part of the whole color managed workflow. And it is the only objectively acceptable way to manage color. If that is what you want.
What calibration settings did you use, what is the quality of the monitor itself, what is the ambient lighting, how you are managing the color inside the image itself by using various profile and various color managed vs. non color managed applications etc. All of that can influence how the image looks. And online all bets are off.
Speaking as a sound engineer... true, but there's more to it than that. Granted I primarily do live FOH, but I've done some recording as well. Yes, a lot of times we'll check mixes on other gear, BUT only to 1. check for phasing issues that may not exist in an ideal environment and 2. compare to reference mixes that we know exactly what they sound like.
If you edit an image the way you want it to look on an accurate monitor, don't look at it on a less accurate monitor, decide it's too blue, and then correct for that. What happens when the monitor that your neighbor looks at it isn't blue enough? Then it's off by twice as much!
I retouch on a properly calibrated monitor and then "check" with a crappy monitor and sometimes a laptop to make sure that the pic looks OK on a range of displays. The main problem with uncalibrated displays is usually black crushing and highlight crushing (blow out), especially on LCDs. Often on laptops the gamma is borked too and stuff looks a lot lighter in the lower midtones than it should.
One concession I have made to poor displays is that when proofing for the web I now limit the brightest skintones to around 240 (94%) on the histogram because so many cheap LCD and laptop displays can't display any different tones above this and show everything brighter as pure, blown out white even if it's not.
Some steps can be done on any old monitor and others are best done on a trusted one.
Results using a low gamut/6 bit monitor like the iMac may be fine for web and Walmart prints but you should really step up to at least a 8 bit display for best results.
sRGB for proofs or do you do prints in low gamut?
A careful reading of the OP points to the only logical answer if the OP's setup matched his typical audience members' setup.
If you want to move beyond that logic, why not post several images and take a poll? Your best audience for that poll would be the usual viewers of your images, whoever they might be. If your typical audience is MM members, for instance, post samples here, I'm sure many would play. In fact, right now I'm on a shitty monitor at work that is not calibrated and I have a calibrated one at home.
You can't know how your images look for the most amount of viewers.
Your second monitor is displaying randomly. You have no idea that anyone else's monitor is similar.
Sure, I do all my retouch on my Nec display, I am very satisfied with it as when I print, I get exactly what I have on the screen.
But for web usage only, I start to do like some of you seems to be used to do, proofing on a standard display, make a few adjustments if necessary like stefano says (thanks)
I keep the original retouched file for prints.
Thank you all for sharing your experiences.

What's better than breakfast meat and smoother than the jazz stylings of Duke Silver? That'd be Nick Offerman, the Parks and Recreation star who so brilliantly embodies Ron Swanson — director of the Pawnee Parks and Recreation Department and proud libertarian. As the sitcom winds down Season 3, we plied the deadpan actor with cocktails for a peek behind the moustache.TV Guide Magazine: You were 38 when you got your big break. What took the suits so long?Offerman: For years, I was testing for shows and the networks would be like, "Eh... He talks too slow, he's too intense, and he's kind of weird." Finally, I found these writers at Parks and Rec that can capitalize on exactly those attributes. Now the network says, "This guy talks too slow, he's really intense, and he's really weird. We love him!"TV Guide Magazine: You and Amy Poehler (Leslie Knope) were both actors in Chicago in the early 1990s. Did you ever cross paths?Offerman: We were buddies, but we never saw each other work. Later it was like, "Oh! I had no idea when we were getting burritos that you were a legend."TV Guide Magazine: Hipsters have appropriated ironic moustaches as a kind of badge. Thoughts?Offerman: I find it fascinating, but a bit weird. Because while I can get behind the ironic moustache and hipster aesthetics, Ron's moustache is 100-percent sincere American moustache — it's built Ford tough. The quality has gone in before the name goes on it.TV Guide Magazine: How much affection do you have for your alter ego?Offerman: Ron is beautiful because he lives his life by a simple set of rules, and that's a cartoony fictionalized version of my own philosophy. He has something people don't have anymore, which is a simple life. Ron is never checking his Facebook profile or playing Call of Duty or reading Maxim.TV Guide Magazine: What kind of set is Parks and Rec? Is it as fun as it looks?Offerman: It is. Obviously, Amy is our team captain — it's like having Michael Jordan, if he was a sunshine-filled blonde lady — and the rest of the cast kills me. Chris Pratt [Andy Dwyer] and I play guitar. If I need to know something about hip-hop or what movies are hot, I go to Aziz Ansari [Tom Haverford] or Aubrey Plaza [April Ludgate].TV Guide Magazine: Sample question?Offerman: "Aziz, is 50 Cent a person?"TV Guide Magazine: Your real-life wife, Megan Mullally, guest stars occasionally as your evil ex, Tammy. Did you rehearse those frantic makeout scenes?Offerman: It was Megan's idea: We went out in our yard and practiced violent tomfoolery. Offensive canoodling. Our existing healthy relationship helped us take things to a level that any other actor and myself could never go to, simply out of politeness.TV Guide Magazine: On a scale of 1-10, how "Hollywood" are you as a couple?Offerman: A .37. We do a ton of coke and then read Dostoyevsky. No, we're superboring. I love woodworking, she loves decorating our house.TV Guide Magazine: Your show seems to keep gaining momentum with fans.Offerman: This is one of those shows that people need to be given permission to find on their own. Like, "Dudes, I've been sticking with Parks and Recreation, and guess what? It got awesome!" We're showing no signs of slowing down. Just wait, you guys!Parks and Recreation airs Thursdays at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine now!

Applying CoVaR to measure systemic market risk: the Colombian case
In: Proceedings of the IFC Conference on "Initiatives to address data gaps revealed by the financial crisis", Basel, 25-26 August 2010
AbstractIn Colombia, the exposition to market risk has increased significantly since 2009. Nonetheless, the risk codependence among agents has not been analyzed yet from the perspective of this risk. Therefore, this paper presents an approach to estimate such relevance based on CoVaR and quantile regressions. This methodology is flexible enough to allow the estimation of the systemic market risk contribution of banks, pension funds, and between different types of financial institutions. Results suggest that risk codependence among entities increases during distress periods.

well, I enjoyed hearing about people's different projects. The most useful abstractions I got from the conversation came from Fritzie Reisner, who clarified the difference between formal, academic research and informal home research, but also suggested they might not be so different; and Carolyn mcauley, who made me think about what is an experiment, and what experiments do I, and others, do in our personal lives.

Jan 23 2014: then are you also a hating person, Lilly? What were the comments when you said all humans should be fed first? What were the comments when you said there should be no borders or flags? I probably feel hate from time to time but it is exhausting to maintain hate for lengthy periods of time.

Jan 24 2014: well, I suppose there is some love in saying "I love my border and flag"?
feed the hungry, well, maybe they really disagreed with you, maybe this is what they really think.
Well, how often do you feel love, lilly, or do you even believe in love?
Is there anyone who is free from emotional pressure?

Lake Chesdin's murky future: Area's thirst for water on pace to outgrow reservoir
MATOACA — In the fall of 1960, amid stories about the impending Kennedy-Nixon presidential election, a visit by actor Nick Adams to Petersburg and the grand opening of the J.M. Fields discount store at the new Walnut Hill Plaza, The Progress-Index reported on an action taken by five local governments:
"An unlimited water supply for the future in Petersburg-Colonial Heights and surrounding counties is assured with the adoption of an ordinance setting up an Appomattox River Water Authority."
Fifty years later, that outlook seems naively over-optimistic, coming as it did from an era before such a thing as an environmental movement existed and long before terms like "endangered species," "climate change" or "smart growth" entered the national vocabulary.
In particular, this year's late-summer water crisis underscores just how rapidly the region is approaching the all-too-real upper limit on what the lake can provide.
The water authority was created to finance and build a dam on the Appomattox River to create a water reservoir that would support regional growth and economic development:
"The (purpose of the) formation of an authority, four years in the making, (is) to put the area in a secure position in the event an industry needing large quantities of water should locate in any of the participating localities and to assure sufficient water supply for population growth," this newspaper noted on Nov. 2, 1960.
When the George F. Brasfield Dam just west of Matoaca was completed and the river's flow filled the pool behind it to create Lake Chesdin in 1967, the amount of water stored there certainly seemed sufficient to meet the authority's goals, which by that time also included maintaining the lake as a recreational destination and a lure for real estate development. The 3,100-acre lake held about 10 billion gallons of water at full pool, well over a year's supply at the time.
But over the years since then, some shortcomings in the reservoir, and in the Appomattox River as its source, have become apparent:
• Siltation has occurred more rapidly than expected and by now has reduced the lake's storage capacity by at least 1 billion gallons, according to detailed "bathymetric" studies done in 2000.
• The river's unreliability as a water source — because of its steep seasonal fluctuations and shallow drainage area — has become an increasing problem; a recent ranking by one expert at the state Department of Environmental Quality places it among the bottom third of Virginia's larger rivers in terms of productivity.
• Tighter environmental restrictions have required the water authority to release a larger amount of water downstream, leaving less in the reservoir to meet consumption demand.
• Demand has grown faster than originally expected. According to figures provided by ARWA in its draft Regional Water Supply Plan, the region's population has more than doubled since 1970 and is expected to rise by another 38 percent over the next 20 years.
As a result, ARWA's water supply plan forecasts that just 15 years from now, the authority's member localities will face a water supply deficit of about 2 million gallons a day — and rising by about 10 million gallons a day every 10 years after that.
Steps already being taken in response to this year's water crisis — in particular, a reduction in the required downstream release — will likely provide a temporary boost in the reservoir's safe yield, a figure based on how much water it can supply during a major drought. But the authority has been working for several years on finding a way to increase the supply of water over the long term.
Early in ARWA's history, the authority took it for granted that Lake Chesdin would be just the first of two reservoirs that it would build and operate. The second, dubbed Lake Genito, was to be built further upstream on the Appomattox River and would add billions of gallons of capacity.
But by 2003, that project had been taken off the drawing board, largely because modern environmental regulations have made it unlikely that agencies like DEQ and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would permit anything so disruptive to the stream's ecosystem.
Some other alternatives have also been considered but were dropped by the time ARWA drafted its pending water supply plan, mostly because the likely costs outweigh the potential benefits. They include building pipelines to draw water from Lake Gaston or the John H. Kerr Reservoir along the North Carolina border; buying water (treated or untreated) from the city of Richmond; drilling wells; building a desalination plant to draw brackish water from the James River; and recycling wastewater.
Options still under consideration include dredging Lake Chesdin, at least in its upper reaches where siltation has had the biggest effect.
ARWA Executive Director James C. "Chris" Dawson said last week that although dredging has some drawbacks — especially its cost and a need to find someplace to dump the mud dredged up — it should be considered on at least a limited basis.
Dawson noted that in addition to restoring some of the capacity that has been lost to siltation, dredging would also add some depth that would make the lake more useful for boating and other recreational purposes. Bottom line: "We can't just allow the lake to silt up," he said.
Also still on the drawing board is a proposal to build a dam on Dawson's Creek, a tributary of the Appomattox in Amelia County, to create a "side-stream" reservoir.
ARWA took some steps to pursue this plan in 2005, meeting with Amelia officials and landowners, but the project eventually stalled . Obstacles include opposition from some of the landowners, lack of agreement with Amelia officials on specific terms of the plan, and the unlikelihood of obtaining the estimated $62 million dollars needed to build the dam and buy up land during a period of economic uncertainty and tight government budgets.
That leaves one final alternative that is being looked at increasingly favorably not only by regulators but also by lakeside landowners and businesses, and by recreational users: raise the height of the existing Brasfield Dam by three feet.
According to a 2003 report by consulting firm Gannett Fleming Inc., that simple step would increase the lake's storage capacity by about 4 billion gallons and raise its safe yield by almost 19 million gallons per day, at a cost of roughly $4.2 million (2003 estimate).
The environmental impact of raising the level of the existing reservoir would be less than that of some other alternatives. In addition, the need for the authority to buy land would be minimal, as ARWA already owns the shoreline around most of the lake up to a level three feet higher than the raised water level would reach.
ARWA's water supply plan, which is awaiting consideration by the State Water Control Board, regards the Dawson's Creek proposal as the strongest alternative, mainly because the authority's experts and consultants believe it would have the least ecological impact. However, its $62 million estimated price tag appears likely to keep it on a back burner for some time to come.
In the view of one group of local residents, the one thing that definitely is not an option is delay.
The Lake Chesdin Environmental Protection Group, a group of area residents and business owners who formed a coalition this year in response to the record drop in the lake's level, recently put together an informal "management audit" of ARWA.
Among the group's conclusions: "In the not-too-distant future, the reservoir faces a significant risk that it may not be able to supply the needs of the community. This could occur as early as 2022. Since it generally takes between 10 and 15 years to bring a new reservoir online, immediate action is needed to meet the near-future water needs of the community that the reservoir serves. As a community, we are three years behind where we need to be on this effort."

From WIRED
The Justice Department's interference in the local civil case was surprising yet significant in that it put not only Baltimore but also every other city police department around the country on notice that interference in such recordings was unconstitutional. It was sent to Baltimore days after several media and civil rights organizations sent U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder a letter insisting that the Justice Department take action against agencies that arrest people who record officers. "Since the Occupy Wall Street movement began, police have arrested dozens of journalists and activists simply for attempting to document political protests in public spaces," the letter to Holder stated. "A new type of activism is taking hold around the world and here in the U.S.: People with smartphones, cameras and Internet connections have been empowered with the means to report on public events." While individual cases didn't necessarily fall under the Justice Department's jurisdiction, the letter acknowledged, the suppression of speech was a national problem that had to be addressed at the federal level. "Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of access to information are vital whether you're a credentialed journalist, a protester or just a bystander with a camera," the organizations asserted.

Editor and writer joke. Too true.
Okay. Editor and writer, dispatched to the Gulf, are lost in the desert sands. Winds howling, sun beating down. Mirages appear, shimmer on the horizon, vanish into the merciless midday heat. Editor and writer sink to knees, by now quite close to death, when suddenly — an oasis! Actual water! Editor and writer make desperate surge toward water, writer crawls hand over hand, immerses face in cool desert pond, and then looks up, appalled, to see that the editor is standing over him and peeing straight into the water.
"What are you DOING?" the writer cries.
"It's okay," the editor says. "I'm making it better."
Since submarines began roaming the depths in World War I, sailors and oceanographers, who use sonar technology to map seafloor topography and identify ocean life, have regularly run into "acoustic ghosts"—inexplicable bodies of movable mass that sometimes rivaled the size of a city. Every time a theory emerged to explain the phenomenon, however, it was quickly shot down.
In 2003 scientists aboard a research vessel just south of Long Island, New York, discovered that the UFOs were composed of hundreds of millions of fish—massive gatherings on a scale never before documented.

I would love to see someone get copies of the US and Europe editions and do a more full fledged content analysis of the different editorial choices made. But, in terms of judging a magazine by its cover, Time does it again….
This thing again: Criticism over Time's differing cover play resurfaces
Remember a few months back, when we did the analysis of Time's covers to see if the balance between hard and soft news was consistent around the world? The issue's cropping up again, with Slate pointing out how Time passed on giving Americans a Mario Monti cover. Just a couple points to this: First: The prior week, Time gave Americans (and the rest of the world) a cover on a prosecutor trying to clean up Wall Street, a story which treads some of the same ground as the Monti cover. Two weeks ago, Time passed on giving Americans a cover on soccer icon Lionel Messi, which would've been a weird time for one considering the Super Bowl was on the way. As I said last time, I personally don't think it's a matter of Time trying to soften the news — but more a matter of Time playing to different markets. Though it'd be nice if Time thought Americans cared about the Italian leader enough that they'd pick up a magazine with his face on the cover. — Ernie @ SFB

You better believe it, because I love Michael. He's a killer? Didn't Sawyer take a transcontinental flight just to kill a man and it turned out not to be him? Didn't Kate set a fuse and blow up her father? Didn't Ben strangle Locke to death? Most of the characters that people moon over have killed someone at some point. I know what's coming, they all had a reason, well so did Michael. And lets not forget, Libby was an accident.
Michael killed because he was told to, because he had no choice but to do so to get his son back. You know, the son that he never got to raise, the son that he had to go get from Sydney and had no clue how to connect with?
Michael Dawson has committed lesser offenses than say Benjamin Linus, who was too much of a coward to save his own daughter, watching her be shot down like a dog right in front of him, but yet, everyone loooves Ben and all their other faves, but Michael just gets the stank eye because he had to do some pretty horrible shit for his CHILD.
A liar? Oh lets not go there. PULEASE. GTFO.

An internationally respected Islamic scholar of tafsir, or Qur'anic exegesis, Sheikh Mohammed Ali Al-Sabouni is widely acclaimed for his short commentaries of the Qur'an.
Popular Commentaries:
Al Sabouni is influential because of his easy-to-read, simplified commentaries of the Holy Qur'an. They are now thought of as some of the most popular short commentaries in history after those of Jalalayn, Baydawi, Ibn Kathir and Ibn Juzayy. One of Al-Sabouni's most influential commentaries is the Tafsir Ayat Al Ahkam, an exploration of the Qur'anic verses that pertain to legal rulings.
Traditional Authority:
The Institute of Scientific Research and Revival of Islamic Heritage at the Umm Al Qura University in Makkah, Saudi Arabia commissioned Al-Sabouni to investigate the ancient tafsir manuscript of Abu Jaafar Al-Nahas (d. 949 CE/338AH). Al-Sabouni's landmark achievement of verifying the only surviving manuscript of the text has come to fruition as a six volume work published by the university.
Birth: 1 January 1930 (Age: 84)
Source of Influence: Scholarly
Influence: Significant scholarly influence as the leading contemporary authority on Qur'anic exegesis (tafsir)

text: I can't take this! I used to be a bad kid. It all started when I was 15. I started selling cocaine. Just for money at first, but of course I got addicted. I battled through it. But I learned to love it the high was amazing, the girls and money were on hand. I felt as if I was on top of the world. I went from cocaine to anything you wanted. You could have called me cocktail. On top of selling them I was doing them. At the age of 16 I told my mom I have a problem. I moved into my sisters. That didn't change one thing though. I couldn't let go of feeling like I'm invincible the money, that life had me clenched tighter then ever before. Age 17 living at my sisters had a girlfriend now she didn't like any of it, so I had to hide it. Only sold marihuana and still did drugs. Age 18 this year I found out my girlfriend at the time was pregnant. Automatic first instinct was I need to make money. I went and picked up a bag of a thousand ecstasy tablets. She put up with it but saw the money and drugs not adding up SHE KNEW I WAS DOING THEM. She left me at this point in my life I felt down I weighed in at 137 pounds. I was disgusting. I decided I was going to clean up. I moved to my dads from my sisters. Worked hard slowed down on my drugs. I was still addicted. Started school , got my first truck. Taiira my ex girlfriend had a miscarriage. I feel to blame still to this day because of the stress I put her through, the lies and all the empty promises. Times were hard now I was driving I started selling again. Within my first month I got jumped. I lost my teeth and broken nose. They beat me with a crow bar well the other held my friend with a knife in the back seat. I continued though. Then I started making better money at work. I moved from the apartment I was in. Into a house now. I went up north first weekend I was at the house. I visited my brother in law. We had a life chat as par usual. I explained my problems. We went to the bar and no one would show interest in me. Dustin asked them why.they stated i was a nice guy but just to fucked up. I went home, the next night it was 3:27 am on Friday ill never forget this day my dad barged in the garage. My brother in law called him and explained I was doing 5 or more 80mg oxy cottons my dad cried and yelled. I swore from that day I would stop. I went up north locked myself in a room. All I had was a blanket water crackers and some boost. For a week I scratched wholes in my skin. I shit myself and pissed myself. I layed there freezing. I died and came back. Age 19 I worked away and partied a bit. Had fun and stayed clean. At the fergus truck show I slipped up. I did one line. I felt disgusting. Since that day I have been clean . I bought my dream truck in september :) Age 20 the day of my birthday my future wife asked me out :3 I love her dearly. She honestly is the best thing for me. She accepts me as I am and loves me for who I am. I work hard I love with my wifey :3. I have an amazing life. I just bought a tractor. I am on the right track for my career. Today my dad accused me of being a drug addict because I got a nose bleed. I have gotten nose bleeds since I was 4. I have never been more hurt. My dad accused me once before I quit working with him. I left for two weeks and then I went back. It hurts me more that people think I'm still a drug addict. I work hard to be where I am. I'm so hurt that I don't know what to do. My dad keeps looking at me with disbelieve. I want to run away. Today is just not my day.

When I grew up it was all about Rudolph. I lived for Yukon Cornelius and Hermey's "I want to be a dentist!"
While Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer will get his television due over the next few weeks, the special my boys ask for every night before bed is "Pepper Landing!" (aka Disney's Prep and Landing)
This should have been a feature film, seriously. Thankfully we have it PVR'd from last year.
If you're new to Disney's Prep And Landing, it's a 30 minute special about the elf crew that preps the landing site for santa. Elves parachute ahead of the big guy making sure he can land on the roof and no creatures are stirring inside.
It's filled with fun action for the kids and lots of subtle jokes for the parents. We keep pressing pause to try and read the clever coffee/Christmas sayings on Magee's mugs. Magee is voiced brilliantly by Sarah Chalke and "Byeeeeee" has become a Christmas catch phrase around our house.
There have only been 2 episodes of Disney's Prep and Landing released and, frankly, that's just not enough for our boys. Here's how you can get more Lanny, Magee, Wayne, Tiny, and Thrasher in your life.
Prep & Landing: Totally Tinsel Collection 1 of 12
First things first. If you haven't seen Prep and Landing and Prep and Landing: Naughty vs Nice, you need to get this totally tinsel DVD set. It has both the specials as well as lots of little extras starring Betty White as Mrs Claus in the Emmy Award-winning short, Operation Secret Santa.
Prep and Landing Landing Lights Toy Set (Hallmark) 2 of 12
A couple of years back, Hallmark had the license to release accessories from the specials. These little Christmas tree lights are what the elves use to help guide in Santa's sleigh to the rooftops. You can still find them kicking around.
Christmas Carol's Elf Challenge 3 of 12
The Prep and Landing website has lots of extras, including games you can play with your kids.
Image via Disney
Hallmark Christmas Prep and Landing Light Up Gingerbread Man Toy 4 of 12
My wife found these on sale after Christmas 2 years ago. She bought them, didn't tell the boys, and hid them until the following year. Now they are Junior Elves constantly scanning everyone and everything to make sure we're nice, not naughty and no creatures are stirring.
Get it from Amazon for $19.95
Gingerbread Man Scanner Cookies 5 of 12
Hallmark Christmas Prep and Landing Elf Hat with Ears 6 of 12
Elf hats are awesome this time of year. This one makes it even more awesome by putting your kids right on the Prep and Landing crew.
Shorts and Extras 7 of 12
There's a collection of 16 clips from the show, extra featurettes, and silly North Pole commercials the kids will love to watch on your lap.
Images via Disney
Kringle Academy Elf Training 8 of 12
Prep and Landing Crew To-Do's 9 of 12
If you get right into the theme, you can even have Prep and Landing Christmas cards to send.
Activities, Crafts, and Printables 10 of 12
There's at least 24 different activities, and crafts you can do with the kids. From Elf hat garlands, to printable tags and coasters.
Image via Disney
HALLMARK CHRISTMAS DISNEY'S PREP & LANDING LIGHT-UP GOGGLES 11 of 12
Since it's been a couple of years since the accessories were at Hallmark, you can drum some up on eBay. I love these elf goggles.
Ornaments and Other Collectables 12 of 12
And that's just the beginning. You can find stuffed characters, ornaments, and decor if you just poke around.
Hallmark 2011 Prep & Landing It's Jingle Time Magee & No Elf Mini Snowglobe Get it from eBay for $14.99

Madurai: The CPM on Thursday described the demonstrations and attacks on Sri Lankan Pilgrims in Tamil Nadu as unfortunate.
"There may be difference of opinion regarding Sri Lankan Government's action against Tamils living in that country, but that should not come in the way of people-to-people relationship between the two countries," CPM general secretary Prakash Karat said.
"It is unfortunate the incident has taken place in Tamil Nadu," he told reporters in Madurai.
"Whether they are tourists or pilgrims or sportsmen, good relationship should be maintained between the peoples of the two countries," he said.
People-to-People relationship between the two countries should be "friendly and harmonious", he added.
Some 178 Lankan pilgrims on a visit to the state were targeted thrice by pro-Tamil outfits on Monday and Tuesday.
The pilgrims faced two protests and an attack on three buses carrying them to the Tiruchirapalli airport.

ListenUp: The Mixtape Project
For London Design Festival 2014, designers like Tom Dixon and Industrial Facility made playlists for #SuperStimuli
by CH Editors in Listen Up on 21 September 2014
LDF 2014, London Design Festival 2014, Faye Toogood, Industrial Facility, Mixtapes, Playlists, Spotify, Tom Dixon, Gary Card
For this year's London Design Festival, the Ace Hotel in Shoreditch played host to four different designer installations for "Super Stimuli," a show curated by biannual magazine Modern Design Review (check out our Instagram of Michael Marriot's lamp). Right next to the Ace, new vinyl-only store Sister Ray offered a musical accompaniment to "Super Stimuli" with The Mixtape Project, which showed off playlists created by 15 London designers and studios. Throughout the week, we Tweeted some highlights from the extensive list, which can be perused on Spotify (save for some songs that aren't available on the platform).
Egyptian Lover: Freak-A-Holic
Set designer Gary Card opted for what is a certifiable deep cut with Egyptian Lover's 1986 electro-dance jam "Freak-A-Holic." (The song was originally intended for the soundtrack to Prince's "Purple Rain.") The LA-based Egyptian Lover (born Greg Broussard) packs his video for the song with all good things '80s: big hair, lots of gold rings, back-up dancers and an endless number of kitschy ancient Egyptian props (aside from the colorful blown-up balloons) that are—to bring things full circle—worthy of one of Card's more cartoonish sets.
Destroy All Monsters: Child of the Night
Design studio Industrial Facility, who works closely with brands like Muji and Herman Miller, prefer old school simplicity and anonymity to designer stardom. For their mixtape, founders Sam Hecht and Kim Colin selected a disc's worth of songs from Detroit "anti-rock" band Destroy All Monsters (which included contemporary artist Mike Kelley as a member, who Colin later worked with for his piece "Educational Complex"). DAM only officially put out a one-hour cassette of their recordings, but Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore later released a box-set of their early music in 1994. "Child of the Night," a lo-fi, stripped down spoken word lullaby is a good track to ease into the journey.
Max Normal: Good Old Fashion Loving
Many people don't know that before Die Antwoord, there was Max Normal. "Good Old Fashion Loving" is one of the more toned-down tracks from the experimental hip-hop South African four-piece, giving off some Nujabes vibes. This tune was selected by furniture designer Faye Toogood, who's been a regular collaborator with Opening Ceremony and other fashion brands like Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen. She's got a quite diverse playlist, meshing together tracks from Nirvana and Portishead to Montreal electronic musician Valentin Stip and even a gospel song from LaShun Pace.
Dusty Springfield & Burt Bacharach: A House Is Not A Home
"A chair is still a chair, even when there's no one sitting there..." This 1964 ballad, written for Dionne Warwick and sung live in a duet by singer-songwriter Burt Bacharach and Dusty Springfield, is the perfect classic song befitting the classy items by London brand Minimalux (founded by Mark Holmes from Established and Sons). Their beautiful, polished items are just as timeless as the rest of their song selection, which ranges from film composer Ennio Morricone's "Giocoso Gioioso" to Chopin's "Raindrop Prelude."
The Kinks: Waterloo Sunset
British designer (and now influential powerhouse) Tom Dixon used to be a touring musician, playing bass guitar for a band called Funkapolitan—which even led to an appearance on Top of the Pops. Dixon's mixtape was by far the most representative of old-school east London vibes, featuring the likes of Buzzcocks to Roxy Music to James Blake. We settled with jamming out to The Kinks' 1967 beautifully touching single "Waterloo Sunset."
ListenUp is a Cool Hunting series published every Sunday that takes a deeper look at the music we tweeted throughout the week. Often we'll include a musician or notable fan's personal favorite in a song or album dubbed #PrivateJam.
Link About It: This Week's Picks
Tomas Maier's desk, posterior portraits and a museum for worthless but sentimental objects in this week's look at the web
by CH Editors in Link About It on 20 September 2014
Art, Museums, NY Times, NYC, News, Photography, SF, Exhibitions, Films, Websites
1. Tuchus Acceptance
Last week Vogue caught onto the (not exactly new) butt phenomenon and declared we are currently living in the "official era of the big booty." Yet between all the Photoshopping, implants and photos of Kim Kardashian's enviable tuchus, it's easy to forget that they come in all shapes, colors and sizes. Refinery29 celebrated all butts from the "round booty to the pancake-ier shape" to the "cellulite, stretch marks and age spots" by photographing (with no Photoshop) 30 women's derrieres and asking them how they feel about their behinds—a playful and still admirable move in the battle against body-shaming.
2. The Desk of Tomas Maier
Bottega Veneta's celebrated Creative Director Tomas Maier keeps his primary office in NYC rather than Milan. The latest video in a NY Times fashion series documenting the creative spaces of designers narrows in on Maier's two desks and everything you can find on them. The location is noticeably void of personal objects and clutter, but what happens to be there does define what the brand will be putting out next.
3. Edward Snowden as Citizen Four
Filmmaker Laura Poitras was already many years into making a film on life and national security in post-9/11 America when she was contacted by an anonymous whistleblower going by the name Citizen Four. This individual turned out to be none other than Edward Snowden. After repeat meetings with him in Hong Kong, and an international blow-up that would soon occur and sweep the media, Poitras created CITIZENFOUR, a film making its debut at this year's New York Film Festival. While the highly anticipated documentary is guaranteed to be controversial, it will also certainly shed new light on Snowden and the system surrounding us all.
4. Alison Bechdel's Genius Grant
In 1985, cartoonist Alison Bechdel created a film formula (now known as the Bechdel Test) in her comic "Dykes to Watch Out For." Her three questions to each movie—Does it have two female characters? Who talk to each other? About something other than a man?—have altered the way films are viewed and made. Films that pass the test are said to be more successful than those that fail—just another way in which a concept originally known in feminist circles has made its way to the mass psyche. And now, 29 years later, she has been awarded a grant (known as the "genius" grant) by the MacArthur Foundation—an organization that "supports creative people and effective institutions committed to building a more just, verdant and peaceful world."
5. Postcards for Ants
Cape Town-based artist Lorraine Loots started a year-long project, titled "365 Postcards for Ants," for which she painted a miniature picture every day. Any subject is possible—from a vintage Yashica-D camera to a saxophone—and the beauty is in their immaculate details, while the wonder is in their teeny, tiny size.
6. MIT Media Lab Gets Fit
Cutting-edge research laboratory (and experimental playground) MIT Media Lab will be adding health and well-being to their areas of interest. With help from a $1 million grant by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, MIT Media Lab has launched a wellness initiative that will explore the relationship between technology, the workplace and health. Hopefully they'll start by tackling bad posture and repetitive strain injury caused by time spent in front of computers and smartphones.
7. Museum of Important Shit
Packrat or not, each of us owns useless objects of immense sentimental value that would be devastating to lose. Whether it's the ticket stub from your first concert or a postcard from a past relationship, these things matter. Artist Nick Cave agrees. His upcoming exhibition will include user-submitted photos of such items, alongside those selected by celebrity curators, all inside the Museum of Important Shit.
8. Rickshaw Bagworks Reflective Backpack
We've long been impressed by San Francisco's Rickshaw Bagworks. And now, thanks to their reflective material-woven backpack, the fandom is growing stronger. The tweed textile is woven with rugged reflective yarn, making riders more visible on their bike. Safe-cycling couldn't be easier.

Designing Polska at Tent London
Our interview with the show's curator on the current boom of Polish design and where it's headed next
by Cajsa Carlson in Design on 19 September 2014
Design, Designers, LDF 2014, London, London Design Festival 2014, Poland, Tent London
At Tent London, part of London Design Festival, some of the most interesting spaces to visit for design-hungry visitors are the country pavilions, delivering an overview of what the creative talents in each place are working on right now. Among them are 100% Norway (which we covered last month), and our new favorite Designing Polska, which offers an extensive look at the best graphic designers and illustrators in Poland. The space showcases new graphic design in prints and books, as well as clothes and crockery, and gives an exciting insight into Poland's relatively unknown, yet thriving design scene.
In a time when digital design and publications are increasingly permeating everyday life, it's intriguing to see how the printed word (and graphics) are still king in Poland. Some of the most eye-catching pieces at Designing Polska can be found in the selection of books on display,while illustrators Aleksandra Mizielińska and Daniel Mizieliński's wonderful Maps books for kids are more than capable of drawing any child (and adult) away from the internet.
Though the scene may not receive immense coverage, many of Designing Polska's contributors also have successful international careers, including the show's curator Olka Osadzinska, who has worked with Reebok and Absolut, among others. CH spoke with Osadzinska to get the lowdown on the flourishing Polish design industry and to find out what we can expect from the country in the future.
Why do you think there are so many talented graphic designers coming out of Poland at the moment?
The scene is really booming and there is so much creative talent there—and so much to be designed. Everything you see in the streets of Warsaw right now has been designed in the last three years—new cafes, new stores, new brands. You have all the articles about Poland's blooming economy and exactly the same thing is happening in design and illustration.
How did you choose which designers to show at London Design Festival?
We brought 10 graphic designers, five illustrators and five children's illustrators, but we could have brought 50. It was difficult for me to choose who to show, but we really wanted to consider the fact that we're showing at Tent London, which is very design-orientated but also very commercial in a way. We wanted to show these illustrators and designers because they focus on design and work closely with artists; they set up exhibitions and design brand identities. We thought that displaying their work might not only create more fans of Polish design, but that it could also help the designers find potential partners for future collaborations.
Do you feel that Polish designers have started to reach a more international audience lately?
I think so. Many of the ones we're showing are working internationally, and we're not even including many who are more well-known abroad, because they are not designing that much stuff in Poland. Most of the designers working in Poland have foreign clients, but they are extremely shy when it comes to showcasing their work abroad. That's why I'm so proud of this exhibition, because we can show how amazing their work is.
Do you think that the graphic design scene will continue to grow and expand in Poland?
We have a very solid group right now, and I don't see why new designers wouldn't emerge, but we're also facing the same problem as every other market. You have lots of talented kids who are eager to work, but they're on Tumblr and Pinterest and they basically all do the same stuff. So I would say that what we have now is a very unique scene, with people who worked their way through different influences, pre-internet. The designers we're showing here are between [ages] 26 and 40, and probably started Googling things and researching things when they had already shaped visually. The ones that have a really unique style have mastered it over time.
Is there a thread to the work, something that is representative of Polish design?
I think Polish graphic designers are similar to Swiss—you can see the Swiss influence in many portfolios. The design is heavily rooted in typography and very solid, "modern" graphic design. At the same time, Polish art schools are traditional when it comes to crafts and actually creating things with your hands, so they mix illustrations, paint, collages—it's all handmade. So I would say it's a combination of Swiss design and more traditional, paint-like, fine art work. We had amazing graphic designers in the '50s, '60s and '70s, and Polish designers today are very aware of the history of Polish design. I think one of the biggest influences on the designers is the period between the two World Wars—that was when Warsaw was booming and the Polish economy was growing, like it is now.

10.1 AppKit changes
Yesterday I read through the 10.1 AppKit (Cocoa ApplicationKit Framework) release notes.
Here are the highlights, from my POV:
- NSStatusBar is the thing in the system menu that holds the custom menu items. NSStatusBarItem (I assume) is the class that represents A custom menu.
- Cocoa apps can have custom and dynamically generated custom menus from the dock!
- Keyboard navigation (see Keyboard Control panel)
- Ctrl-D for Don't Save in Save Panels
- Support for discovering when screens are added and removed when waking up from sleep
- Credits.html is looked for before Credits.rtf(d), so you can put links in your credits list in the About panel and they're clickable to the web browser.
- First Responder Action methods for speaking user-visible text
- Many NSDrawer bugs fixed.
- NSMovie now supports URLs for movie references (http:, rtsp:, etc.)

Daniel V. Klein, via David Chess' weblog:
Well, seeing as how there is a 17% literacy rate among women (I read that somewhere recently, my apologies for not linking to it or providing any kind of source for that statistic) in Afghanistan, first you'd have to teach most of them how to read. Then, yeah, send them to college, a truly great idea!

Oh pooh. Weblogs.com is turning a corner and didn't use its signal light.
I hope the SubHonker Filter will still work tomorrow., and I hope the Fan Favorites page and Weblog Favorites browser will too.

Webcams in Afghan
Paul Boutin: "But until we can link to some Afghan webcams or bloggers in Baghdad, there's a big hole in the conversation. Our use of the word we doesn't really mean all of us."
It's going to be a little difficult to see webcams in Afghan, considering the Tablian outlawed the Internet earlier this year. Get used to the hole... it'll be a while before it closes.

FINALLY! This is Apple's response to VisualBasic.
Holy moly... Cocoa apps with AppleScript bindings. Looks like it'll be using Interface-Builder concepts. (The icon even has the IB icon embedded in it)
I think I have to learn AppleScript now.
OS X 10.1 totally rocks. Check out the rest of the AppleScript on OS X section too. Amazing stuff.

Score from 2366 reviews Good
The location was perfect, 10 minutes walk to Union Square. The French style decor and the restaurant, food and the service was excellent. A very charming traditional style hotel.
There wasn't anything we didn't like about this hotel
Location and proximity to many things.
Water pressure in shower (room 601) was horrific. Barely a trickle. Wife was unable to wash her hair in shower and had to use the sink to rinse shampoo out.
Every thing, Espiecially Diane
Rooms large enough, good location. Nothing special about it
Breakfast = pancakes or eggs the one day, french toast or eggs the other day so nothing special.
Central location
Breakfast: a baguette/croissant with preserve would have been more apropos given the French theme.
Great location in San Francisco, excellent public transport including the ubiquitous trolley car a 1 minute walk away. Good size rooms Very friendly staff
The decor was a bit jaded and faded in places and the furniture looked a bit old fashioned (not antique/ classic) No view from the room we had The note about tipping at breakfast irked
The hotel in general was good Liked the breakfast.
The reason i didn't rate the hotel very high was the size of the bed. 4ft is not acceptable for a two people. The room was described as a standard queen. 4ft and covered in plastic is not good.
location friendly staff on site restaurant chef created breakfasts included value for San Francisco
outdated furnishings and decor general cleanliness
The staff were very helpful. My room had sunlight and a view even though I was at the back of the hotel - I had requested a quiet room. It was within easy walking distance of public transport and convenience shops. There were food shops just across the road.
Great Location, boutique style great breakfast
Not modern enough for my tastes but others will like the 'olde worlde' style.
Staffs are good and helpful. The bed is firm, good for sleeping, bathroom towels are clean. Restaurant' s Jeanne d' Arc decoration is delightful. Overall , the hotel' s cleanliness is very good. Bonus point is in the middle of the American big city there is historical French tastefully injected. Truely enjoyment. ;)
It is a bit of uncomfortable when walking back to the front door of the hotel at night due to someone looked suspicous around the area.
Charming and very French. Restaurant is worth the stay and taking photos. Good value and location close to Union Square park
Location, quiet room, breakfast
Very dated, gas like smell in reception area,
Good location and excellent breakfast. Staff very friendly
Rooms a little too small, but expected in major city.
Centrally located French decor and character Wifi access Included cooked breakfast
Location is about 500m up a steep hill from the subway station
great location, wonderful breakfast in a lovely diningroom. friendly staff. would definately stay again.
Excellent location, very friendly staff
Loved the restaurant. Good food and service. Great decor
Would have liked better pillows.
Boutique hotel, Breakfast serve by chinese.
steep uphill walk,difficult for elderly traveller.
handy for reasonable parking and close to union square. reasonable rates.
limited breakfast choices. stale smell indoors.
Very quaint and European feeling. The included breakfast was lovely.
The hotel was filled with character. This is the place for you if you like not living in just another motel room. The paintings and artwork were beautiful. The restaurant in the basement was a work of art. The breakfast was delicious each morning. Staff very friendly.
No fridge in room.
Location was great, the decor was lovely, great breakfast
There was nothing that we didn't like
breakfast is good, location is great
Location, location, location. Good value for money, friendly staff.
Minor details, nothing that really bothered.

Argh... Yeah, I had problems with the link too at first. But for me it just gave me code. For my problem, I disabled "redirect remover" on Firefox and then it worked. I don't know what to say about the problem you're having.
I'll have to find a better link...

easiest may be to go to: themes>more options, then search for "eternal smile".

In the warped reality that is the Emmys, there's not a single broadcast network series worthy of a nomination as outstanding drama.
That is, of course, utter nonsense. And it says more about the Emmys than it does about network dramas.
To be clear, this is not a slam against the nominees. "Breaking Bad," "Downton Abbey," "Game of Thrones," "Homeland," "House of Cards" and "Mad Men" are all great shows.
But they all have a huge advantage. They don't have to turn out 22 episodes (or more) in a season. The above nominees produced eight, eight, 10, 12, 13 and 13 episodes, respectively.
That's no small task. Particularly for period pieces like "Downton Abbey" and "Mad Men" or something as epic as "Game of Thrones."
But there is something to be said for series like "The Good Wife," which turns out 22 highly entertaining episodes per season — something that would prove pretty much impossible for "Game of Thrones."
(And I'm rooting for "GOT" to win the Emmy.)
This may sound like TV critic heresy, but if I could watch only one, I would choose to watch a season of "The Good Wife" over a season of "Mad Men."
Again, that's not a slam at "Mad Men" — I'm a fan — it's praise for "The Good Wife."
There are a lot of things wrong with the Emmys. I can't tell you how many times I've heard actors, writers, directors and producers say that they're so busy with their own shows that don't have time to watch TV.
These are the people who vote for the Emmy winners. The people who don't watch TV.
A lot of what gets nominated and what doesn't is the result of who has the best campaign. HBO has marketing down to a science, which is a big reason it got 108 nominations.
You've got to wonder if BBC America's "Orphan Black" would have gotten nominated if it was on HBO. Or even Netflix, which marketed like crazy and became the first streaming service to get a best-drama nomination ("House of Cards").
And, at this point, there's a certain snob element to the nominations — the idea that if it's on cable, it must be better than a broadcast show. That's false at least as often as it's true.
The Emmys are supposed to be about quality, not popularity. If they were all about which show has the largest audience, "NCIS" would win the best-drama Emmy this year.
There are more people who would choose to watch "NCIS" (which averaged 21.4 million viewers this past season) than "Mad Men" (2.5 million). A lot of people who will tell you "NCIS" is the better show.
Quality is subjective.
The primary thing to remember about the Emmys is — don't take them too seriously. It's rich, famous people patting each other on the back.

Men's basketball holds off North Dakota in blast from NCC past
BOX SCORE: vs. North
STANDINGS: Big Sky Conference
GREELEY, Colo. -- Northern Colorado shot a sizzling 60 percent as a team Thursday night in its 80-72 nonconference victory over former NCC foe North Dakota at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.
The Bears also had four players score in double figures in the win, highlighted by Will Figures' 20, as they put the finishing touches on this season-long four-game homestand and completed just the third three-game winning streak in Northern Colorado's last six seasons.
Sophomore Devon Beitzel chipped in 15 against the Fighting Sioux, and junior John Pena added 13 for the Bears (12-15, 6-6 Big Sky), who will now take a week off before traveling to Oregon to take on Portland State on Thursday, Feb. 19.
The 60 percent shooting in the game is the second highest percentage Northern Colorado has finished a game with this season (.608 vs. Texas State on Nov. 29).
And the Bears needed it.
North Dakota (11-11) ended the game at 59.5 percent from the field and 61 percent from beyond the three-point arc.
"North Dakota shot the ball extremely well tonight," Northern Colorado coach Tad Boyle said. "They're a good team. (If) they shoot the ball like that, they are going to beat a lot of teams. But I didn't think our defense was that bad. Sometimes you've just got to tip your hat. North Dakota made shots tonight, made some tough shots."
Northern Colorado held a 43-41 halftime advantage Thursday night before pushing its lead to nine, 65-56, with just under 10 minutes to go in the game.
The Sioux scored the next nine points, though, to tie the game at 65 with 6:12 to go.
Figures then put Northern Colorado on his back, scoring seven straight points and putting the Bears up for good. Figures notched five of those points at the free-throw line, where he finished 10-11.
"We were in the bonus there near the end," Figures said. "So in that case, you want to attack and get to the free-throw line. When they come out and pressure you, I know that we can drive past, and they'll grab you and you can get to the line. We just all made some free throws tonight down the stretch to pull away."
The Bears connected on 10 of 14 free throws in the final five minutes against North Dakota, and Northern Colorado didn't miss from the field (1-1) or from three-point land (1-1) in that stretch.
That's usually a recipe for success, regardless of the opponent.
"We knew (North Dakota) would come out ready to play," Figures said. "They are trying to prove themselves. They are a program like we were -- we were trying to prove ourselves a couple years ago, we still are proving ourselves -- so I knew they would come out tonight and play their hardest."
They might have played their hardest, but in the end Northern Colorado's toughness won out. The Bears outrebounded North Dakota 15-3 in the first half and finished with a 26-16 rebounding edge.
North Dakota, in its first year of transitioning to a Division I program after playing against Northern Colorado for so many years in the North Central Conference, came into the game Thursday night with a 39-17 advantage in the series.
The Bears used to be a pushover for the Sioux, but not anymore.
"I'm proud of the way we finished off the game tonight," Boyle said. "We're a good free-throw shooting team, so if we miss them, I'm surprised. We didn't miss too many of them tonight and were able to knock off a good North Dakota team. Now we've just got to get back to work and see if we can't continue our season on past our next four games."
