CNN - Was there something more behind that quick kiss and hug Rihanna gave Chris Brown at the MTV Video Music Awards?
Chris Brown announced Thursday he broke up with his model girlfriend, saying he didn't want to see her hurt over his "friendship" with Rihanna.
Brown and Rihanna have had a tumultuous relationship. He was convicted of felony assault for beating Rihanna on the eve of the 2009 Grammys and still has two more years of probation to serve.
Brown was even under court order to stay away from her, but a judge lifted that last year.
Brown's break-up comes on the heels of recent paparazzi photos showing Brown and Rihanna together in public.
Even though Brown says he's "staying single," there have been rumors the two are more than friends.
Daniele Watts said she was detained by police on Thursday because they thought she was a prostitute.

Intel Core i7 CPUs and DDR3 Memories
Instead of having the memory controllers on the motherboard via the northbridge, Intel has now put the memory controller directly in the CPU. This now means that what memory you can use and at what speeds is now controlled by the CPU you select.
The following lists what memory is compatible for each CPU. Please be aware that we can reach higher speeds by overclocking.
Intel also recommends using only a single DIMM per channel when using 1600+ MHz or Intel XMP memories. Using more than 1 DIMM (6+ GB) can cause the system to be unstable. This is accordance with the Intel XMP spec documentation found here.

The official Intel processor spec seems to limit the Core i7 965 processor to supporting DDR3 memories up to 1066 MHz, not 1600 MHz. It also states that the Core i7 860 and 870 processors are compatible with DDR3 memories up to 1333 MHz. (As stated, DIMMs with higher memory speeds may be used by overclocking, but these configurations are not necessarily supported by Intel.)
The Intel XMP document (http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/whitepaper/319124.pdf) addresses overclocking for specific chipsets. As of January 2009, when this paper was written, only the X48 Express chipset was listed as validated for Intel XMP memory modules. Is there any more recent guidance for the P55 and X58 chipsets used by Intel Core i7 processors?

The principle at work here is called "unconscious privilege". Most men (and I'll admit I'm making an assumption when I believe that the quest text was created by a man, but that is the way to bet) don't consider the many angles of language because they rarely if ever are spoken to in a similar fashion. And by "similar fashion", I mean in a way that they would consider demeaning. Their awareness suffers from this, so when they speak to a woman using language similar to Firepaw's, they don't understand (and often disagree) that it's a problem.

The House Is Black- Iran
As short as it is, the depiction of people to whom faith has been cruel going to school, celebrating and thanking god for their existence is very powerful. The film does not shy away from depictions of disfigurement without giving the feeling that it wants to shock or force sympathy out of the viewer. The directors poems, as well as the verses from the koran, wich accompany the images as voice-over, only added to the profound impact this film had on me.

Afternoon Snack Recipe: Maple-Cinnamon Popcorn Wafers
These have to be the most unusual cookies we've ever made. Improbable, even. Gluten-free, egg-free, and dairy free, they just don't seem like they should work. And yet, they do. And what's even more strange, they are some of the most delicious little treats we've ever tasted.
The first time I made these cookies, trying out a recipe for Popcorn-Oat Cookies from the Columbus Dispatch, I had no idea what to expect. I had a vague mental image of something akin to rice cakes.
But even that was blown by the time I'd finished whizzing the ingredients in the food processor and had a strange, sand-like mess on my hands. I dutifully continued to follow the directions. What else was there to do? The whole time, I was thinking, "No way. No WAY these are going to work." Into the oven they went, and I set the timer for ten minutes.
Nothing much changed in the oven. They still looked like messy little piles of sand. They smelled good though! It wasn't until after I'd let them cool and went to slide them off the baking sheet that I got my surprise.
They were cookies. Somehow, magically, they were cookies. Wafer-thin, crispy as all get out, but they held together in my hand and they tasted incredible. They're almost like a bag of kettle corn, but in cookie form. I think my husband and I ate the entire batch that night.
Look at them now, I'm thinking these "cookies" would actually be more at home on a cheese plate or as part of a mid-afternoon snack with apples and raw nuts. Even my version here is more savory than sweet. Look at these as a nibble to get you through to dinner, and a relatively healthy one at that!
I've tweaked the recipe a bit here. I wanted a more festive version for the holidays, so I added cinnamon and subbed in some maple syrup. I also doubled the recipe because, really, who only makes six cookies? My wafers are a bit more crumbly than the original version. I've been sprinkling the bits that break away over my yogurt in the morning like grapenuts!
If you'd like to take a look at the original recipe, here it is:
• Popcorn Oat Cookies from the Columbus Dispatch
2 cups (about 1 ounce) air-popped popcorn
1/2 cup (1 1/2 ounce) gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons canola oil, or other neutral-tasting oil
3 tablespoons maple syrup
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Combine the popcorn, oats, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor. Drizzle the oil and maple syrup over the top and attach the mixer's lid.
Process the ingredients for 45 seconds or so, scrape down the sides, and then process for another 45 seconds. Everything should be broken down into tiny granules and clump together like wet sand.
Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Divide it into 12 little piles. Dampen your fingers with water and flatten each pile into 1/8-inch thick rounds, re-wetting your fingers as needed. Neaten the edges of the rounds with your fingertips.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until fragrant and just barely starting to darken on the edges. It's better to under-bake these cookies a bit than over-bake, as they turn more brittle the longer they cook.
Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet. Lift the parchment to loosen each one and store in an air-tight container. These will retain their crispiness for several days.

These are full of fiber. I can't wait to try them.
I'm so making these, probably tonight - but I think there might be an error in the posted recipe. Compared to the linked one (which you said you doubled), shouldn't the amount of baking powder be 1 teaspoon, not 1/4?
Also, you have eliminated the small amount (1/2 TBS) of soymilk moisture that was in the original recipe. Would that account for the crumbliness of the maple version? Did you eliminate it because the maple syrup is more of a liquid than the granulated sugar from the first recipe?
I'm always curious about the choices made when adapting recipes - since I do it all the time, I try to pay attention to outcomes so I can modify (even more, and better?) in the future...
This recipe would be great to bake in a muffin top pan, check out this link for another recipe you can make in the pan as well!
I make all cookies in this pan, they come out thick and the circles are perfect!!
do you think the 'air popped' is crucial? i usually make popcorn in a pot, and imagine i could pop it that way and then just put in a bit less oil in the mixture.
@baisabichan - Great questions! I reduced the amount of baking soda because it was giving this version a distinct chemically taste. I'm not sure exactly why, honestly - I don't taste it in the original version. But reducing the baking soda helped eliminate the taste and didn't seem to affect the cookie at all!
I also took out that tablespoon of liquid because, yes, the maple syrup added more liquid in.
@chanie - I think it's totally fine if you use a little oil when you pop your popcorn. Mostly, calling for "air-popped" is a way of distinguishing it from microwave popcorn, which I think would add too much salt to the recipe.
My friends and I are having a smore party. Lots of types of chocolate and cookies. I think this would be a great salty sweet combo!
Okay so I made these last night with the original recipe. They are criminally crumbly. Maybe I should have cooked them longer, but the inside less-cooked bits were more solid than the rest... They were tasty little bits, though. I can definitely see how it'd be good on a custard or yogurt.
@Amber - Yeah, even the original recipe is pretty delicate. I actually find that under-baking them is better than over-baking. Glad you thought they were tasty, though!

The Henley Royal Regatta (its official name) is hosted once-yearly, on the Thames River at Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire, Northwest of London. According to its website, the Henley Royal Regatta is 'undoubtedly the best known regatta in the world and is both one of the highlights of the summer sporting calendar and the social season'. How lovely.

Chapter 90 Reviews
Patrick's finally moving on off of Pete, well, at least he thinks he is. Written by Ruth. Thanks for all the reviews!
"There you are," a familiar voice drifted to my ears. I cringed once I recognized it. My head lolled to the left as I saw my mother at the back door. "I thought you were upstairs wasting your time on that stupid computer of yours," I bit my lip so my smart remark couldn't slip. "Well, anyway that Jew boy is out front looking for you. What happened to that Wentz kid?"
"He's in New York. Has been for a week," I told her, looking back up to the sky, "And his name is Joe." I heard her scoff, her natural reply to anything related to me. "Whatever," The sky had gotten darker and more beautiful if that was even possible. It was quiet, the only noise made were by the crickets. I wonder if Pete and Brendon were enjoying themselves with the loud sirens, bright lights, and loud rude people and—who am I kidding, they're having the time of their lives.
I felt warm, soft lips press against my cheek. "Hey Stumpy," Joe greeted me. "Hey Joe," his fingers touched my cheeks lightly, wiping off tears that fell silently. "Wentz." It didn't even sound like a question; more like a fact that we both already knew. He lay down with me, placing his head on my stomach. "Tricks," he sighed, his fingers playing with the hem of my shirt. "You're going to have to forget about him. He's thousands of miles away and hasn't written to you that I know of. What good is he to you now?" He paused waiting for my answer. I cleared my throat. "You're right. I should just forget about him," Joe suddenly appeared before me, a wide smile taking up his face. "That's my Patrick," he said. He pressed his lips against my forehead, kissing it. My fingers had reached his neck and I pulled him toward my lips for a long kiss.
He pulled away from me laughing, "What was that for? Not that I don't mind."
"For being there for me," I gave him a shorter version of the kiss, "For putting up with me," another kiss. "And for just being you," I didn't pull Joe in for a kiss this time, he did it on his own. "I need to be myself more often," Joe smiled before rising to his feet. "Come on," he offered his hands to me as I sat up. "Where are we going?"
"Carnival. Come on, let's go!" Joe pulled me up to my feet and led me into my house. "Where do you think you're going?" I heard my father call from the sitting room. Grabbing my hoodie off its hook, I replied "out," I let the door slam behind me.
"See you later babe," Joe muttered into my ear as we walked up to my front door. "Bye Joseph," he waved goodbye as I opened the door, slipped inside my house, and made my way to my room silently. I turned my computer on, out of habit for the past 7 days. As the low hum of the computer filled my room, I took the thin strip of four black and white photos Joe and I took in the photobooth from my pocket.
I smiled at the first one where Joe and I were smiling at the camera. The one under that photo had us in fighting stances, my mouth wide from laughing. The third photo had us with scrunched up faces, Joe growling at the camera. The last picture had us sharing a kiss, a quick one. I propped it up on my dresser and the loud ping from the computer made me jump. A new email in my inbox from Pete. I took a deep breath before reading it.

Hey. Sorry it took so long, I just had to think some stuff through. I know things aren't the same anymore, some nights it gets so bad I almost pick up the phone. I really do miss you Patrick. I miss us. They are reasons why I was acting… weird. I'll tell you when I see you. New York is great, but it can't compare to you.
Love you too.

There is no way around this point. Know your onions. You would have to work like a horse and become super-competent in your duties. You are responsible for your professional growth.
Someone, (whose name I unfortunately cannot recall), once quipped:
If your boss is truly difficult, it is useful to note that anything he says could, and would be denied if the case escalates and is referred to his superiors. He would not want to lose 'face' and you would be made the scapegoat.
Trust me on this.

Part 2 - I/O TIMING: Talking Outside The BoxIt wouldn't be a chip or block if it didn't have to talk to something other than itself right? We could always assume that every input arrives at exactly the same time, and every output has exactly the same amount of external delay. The downside is you may never realize some of the more complex aspects of the I/O timing without digging a little further. Last time we talked about the right questions to ask with respect to the clocks, now let's go over some items to check in the constraints dealing with I/O and port communication.
"That's great you closed timing on the interface. Too bad it was with the wrong clock."
"Wait, you mean data flows in both directions? Why didn't someone tell me that!"
"The customer told me that the data could arrive at the beginning of the clock all the way to the end of the clock. That should be easy to meet..."
"The only thing with my block is, it must be in a loving environment. Only sharp input slews and low output capacitance will do with this cream puff."Going back to the check_timing report, it should list any I/O ports that have no constraint input/output delay associated with it. While you may have a set_false_path -from/-to on the port, it will still remind you to double check that.Some of the checks it will do:
Another thing to think about, if the constraints have been partitioned from the top-level in Encounter, the I/O constraints should have good realistic values for the items above. Of course you better hope the constraints at the top-level were defined correctly...
Next time in part 3, we'll tackle the questions to ask for Exception Path Timing!

The Texas Emerging Technology Fund (TETF) is a cash grant program designed to help Texas create jobs and grow the economy over the long-term by expediting the development and commercialization of new technologies and attracting and creating jobs in technology fields that form the backbone of our economy. The program works through partnerships between the state, higher education institutions, and the private industry to focus greater attention on the research, development, and commercialization of emerging technology.
Grants are awarded in the following three areas:
- Commercialization Awards:
Incentives for Commercialization Activities occur when the State utilizes taxpayer funds to make an investment in a privately-owned entrepreneurial business that is seeking to bring a new or enhanced technology to the marketplace. To be eligible for the award, the business must be partnered with one of the State's institutions of higher education.
Priority for funding is given to proposals that involve emerging scientific or technology fields that have a reasonable probability of enhancing the State's national and global economic competitiveness. By strategically investing in industries with high growth potential, these investments help ensure Texas will remain a global leader in key industries.
- Matching Awards:
The goal of the TETF Research Award Matching program is to create public-private partnerships to leverage the unique strength of universities, federal government grant programs and industry. This enables Texas to secure additional research funds from outside the State in key technical and scientific areas that contribute to the growth of our emerging-technology economy.
Priority is given to emerging-technology research and development that will have a significant impact on Texas' future economy or may result in a major medical or scientific breakthrough. Preference is also given to research activities that involve collaboration among multiple Texas institutions of higher education and private entities.
- Acquisition of Research Superiority:
The TETF Acquisition of Research Superiority goal is to bring the best and brightest researchers in the world to Texas. This enables our Texas academic institutions to continue to build expertise in key research areas, attract and inspire students to pursue advanced degrees in math, sciences, and engineering, and provide an invaluable resource to the community by fostering innovation and commercialization in our State. Priority is given to proposals that involve scientific or technical fields that have a reasonable probability of enhancing the State's national and global economic competitiveness, as well as proposals that may result in a medical or scientific breakthrough. Added consideration is also given to proposals that are interdisciplinary, are eligible for federal and other outside funding for research superiority, and are likely to create a nationally or internationally recognized locus of research superiority.
To be eligible for this award, an applicant must be a Texas public institution of higher education, commit to acquiring new research superiority talent from outside the State, and be sponsored by the institution's leadership.
Eligibility requirements are specific to each type of grant. For more information, consult TETF's website.
Regional Centers of Innovation and Commercialization must be contacted to discuss application and specific requirements. For more information, consult TETF's website.
Seven regions of the state have been established to administer the program through a Regional Center of Innovation and Commercialization. In addition, a statewide Life Science Regional Center of Innovation and Commercialization was also formed.
The RCICs act as the regional agent for the ETF Advisory Committee to identify, evaluate, and submit promising proposals from their respective regions to the ETF Advisory Committee. The ETF Advisory Committee makes final decisions on awards. RCICs work closely with applicants in assisting with ETF proposal development, post-proposal debriefings, and commercialization activities. In addition, RCICs are a strong focal point for increasing cooperation and spurring collaboration between industrial, financial, and academic entities.

Important notice
CPIT's Circo Arts programme will not be offered in 2014 due to continuing challenges in being able to provide appropriate facilities.
A performing arts facility is proposed to be developed at CPIT in the future and could incorporate a Circo Arts training space; however this is not likely to be ready until 2020 - 2022.
"We still hope one day to be in a position to offer tertiary courses in Circus Arts and physical theatre within the context of the other performing arts programmes at CPIT, once the core facilities on the campus have been established," Tom Rainey, Head of CPIT's Creative Industries Department says.
CPIT is remaining alert and open to any possible opportunity that will enable courses in circus arts and physical theatre to be offered again, alongside existing performing arts programmes at NASDA and the Jazz School.
Rainey is confident that experienced individuals and community groups, such as the Christchurch Circus Centre can continue to provide opportunities for people seeking skills and performance opportunities in circus arts.
Circo Arts has been offered at CPIT since 1996, until the 22 February 2011 earthquake affected the Circo Arts building on the Madras Street Campus.

Digital Asset Management Conference, March 2-3, 2011
Digital Asset Management Conference, March 2-3, 2011
By Creataspher, Universal City, California
Here is a brief report on my initial thoughts on the Createaspher digital asset management conference which I attended March 2-3. The conference was attended by vendors, end users and consultants operating in the DAM market. Being hosted at the doorstep of Hollywood many of the companies are obviously working in the movie industry.
Compared to the familiar and mature CMS market, the DAM market feels less mature and more fragmented. Most players and the market as a whole are smaller than we are used to in the CMS market. This can be observed by many end users that are uncertain on how to utilize their systems and assets as well as the broad spectra of different vendors that are promoting general DAM systems as well as more specialized solutions for archiving and storage.
Here is my attempt to try catching some trends on the DAM market:
- Today many CMS vendors claim to have DAM capabilities, though in reality they are just offering a simple file manager. In the coming years we will probable see that DAM will in many cases be merged into the CMS systems. This will probably also be the case in other areas where the DAM will be merged into products used in the creative process, and in the end will probably not exist as standalone systems. DAM will be a natural part of how we work. Actually most people are using systems that have DAM look-alike capabilities today without knowing. Facebook is a great example.
- Facebook is also a good example of another trend, in that it is a web based service. New and innovative web based services that offers new ways of working with digital assets will put pressure on the more established vendors.
- DAM is actually going from something that could add value or create new opportunities to being a fundamental condition for many companies today. In many cases it is required just to be able to be competitive in the market.
To wrap up I will just emphasize on the one thing that has been the guiding star in almost all the session here. Meta data! This is what turns your photos, videos and whatever into an asset that can actually be used and managed.

Concert review: Rock 'n' roll still alive and kicking with the Safes, Thee Fine Lines and Roundheels at the Firebird, Friday, July 29
The Safes sound like they are ready to revive rock 'n' roll with their relentless punk sound — and they did just that last night at the Firebird.
Visiting from Chicago the band played this one-off show for an apparently big fan's birthday party at the St. Louis club. And a good birthday it must have been. Everyone was moving, dancing and having a fine time. The Safes have just a couple of releases under their belt but a massive number of songs — the kind of songs that would make the Minutemen proud.
The opening acts aided the evening with high-quality, nervy indie rock. St. louis band Roundheels took the stage first, and although I'm not sure whether to compare them to Iggy and the Stooges or the Libertines, they ravaged through a energetic set complete with a howler on vocals (who's only instrumentation was a megaphone with which he had quite a bit of fun) and loud, gnarly solos that would make Ron Asheton wail on air guitar.
But it was the second band, Thee Fine Lines from Springfield, Mo., who tore the joint up. With their chanting vocals and jerky rhythms they sounded as if hipsters hijacked the Descendents, or vice versa. You know it's a raw rock show when the bassist has to keep a frequently sliding kick drum in place on stage.
After the show I had the pleasure to chat with these guys and they had mentioned that their only citable influence would be the notorious song "Louie, Louie," and that most of their songs are some sort of variation of that garage rocker. This is especially true with "She's Long Gone"; the rhythm is clearly lifted from that standard.
In between sets DJ Ryan Snowden spun the wax and got the crowd all worked up with CBGB classics, setting the mood for all the garage rock bands. And of course only a song by the Damned could be a decent segue for the Safes. A relentlessly rambunctious garage band, their set was an aural assault with little idle chatter between songs (except for maybe a few sales pitches and pointing out "the guy from Bunnygrunt").
But about half way through the set brothers Frankie and Patrick O'Malley (Patrick Mangan holds down the low-end duties) swapped spots on drums and guitar and vocals. I'm convinced they are twins. Identical twins. Impossible to tell apart. The switch up threw my OCD tendencies askew. But nonetheless the band continued to rock (and sounded the same if not better after the switch).
The Safes have a Fonzy-vibe to them: The music, although modern, conjures up images of hotrods, chicks with big hair and cigarettes rolled up in sleeves. But I think that's all intentional. After all they have a sound that will never go out of vogue.
It's always a moot argument when claiming rock 'n' roll is dead, or that music today is awful. It's bands like the Safes and Thee Fine Lines that will never allow rock 'n' roll to grow old and weary.

Two words to describe that, fuckin funny. Love the song that was the best bit. It just made the whole movie which is one of the funniest i have seen since i started using newgrounds. One question though, Did the song happen before the animation was thought of because it sounds that way.

When it was reported that, after many years of hope deferred, I was at last to visit Greece, the local newspapers had it that the prime object of my trip was to witness the Olympic games at Athens. Now that the Olympic games at Athens have proved a brilliant success, nothing could seem more natural than that a professor of Greek and an editor of Pindar should speed across the water to behold the wonderful revival. But at the time those who believed most in the old Olympic games were not the most enthusiastic about the new. Private letters seemed to indicate that the celebration would be a failure, perhaps deserved to be a failure. The stadium was there, and that was a great point. It had been called into being again for the purpose, but no one who had not seen it could have imagined how it would stand out in its unique beauty among the great theatres of the modern world. There was to be running,—nothing more antique than running. There was to be leaping, throwing the discus, the long-distance race, and wrestling. But the latter part of the programme was very modern. Boxing was to be banished as too brutal, and the bicycle was to take the place of the four-horse chariot. The swimming-match was not Olympic. The fencing-match was too Roman. Your genuine Greek abhorred the sports of the amphitheatre. Lawn-tennis was really too airy a pastime for the Olympic games, and there was mention in one newspaper of croquet. Croquet is an estimable game, but hardly a sport to lure one across the Atlantic, though one would vault over the "salt, unplumbd, estranging sea" to witness a match game of kottabos, say, between Theramenes and Kritias; nay, your true pedant would almost have himself ferried over the Styx for that. However, "croquet" was a misprint for "cricket."
Then the press began to teem with extemporized erudition about the old Olympic games. Krause's learned work was dusted and disemboweled, and the very emphasis repelled the classical scholar. Besides, the writers nearly all overlooked what seemed to be the religious significance of the games, and as a devout Hellenist, who belonged to the church of which Pindar was pastor, I was shocked at the flippancy with which the whole matter was handled; and being called on for a deliverance on the subject, I freed my mind by a discourse addressed to a small congregation of the faithful. I will not give my sermon in full. An outline will be a sufficient trial to the reader's patience.
We call this age an age of intelligent sympathy. We try to understand the past and to reproduce it in order to put our understanding of it to the test. No modern age has comprehended classical antiquity so well as has ours, and the close of the century has witnessed many reproductions of the antique. Every few months a Greek tragedy, every year or two a Greek comedy, is brought on the stage. The music of the Greeks has become vocal once more, and we can hear pæans sung as of old. Why should we not have a revival of the Olympic games? The site will not be the same, but there were elaborate Olympic games at Antioch as well as in Elis. Why not at Athens? No environment could be more noble, and Olympic games of some sort were performed there in antiquity. Nor must we insist pedantically on the season of the year. Think of Christmas in Australia. It is still Christmas. And as for the difference in the games, were there not changes enough in the old days? The mule-race came in and the mule-race went out. Why might not boxing share the same fate, in accordance with the spirit of the age? But there's the rub. Is there anything left of the old spirit, or can anything of the old spirit be evoked? Will the new Olympic games be anything more than athletic sports? What is there to make them differ from baseball contests and football contests, from polo and lacrosse? The antique spirit? But what was the antique spirit, and where shall we look for its truest expression? The answer comes unhesitatingly: In antique poetry.
A nation is to be judged by its poetry as well as by its prose, by its aspirations as well as by its performances, by the bread of angels which it craves as well as by the husks which swine do eat, and if we are to catch the spirit of the Olympic games we must go to the great interpreter of that spirit when it was at its height: we must go to Pindar. Not for the description of the games themselves. That was needless for his time. It is not needless for ours. And our time, equipped for sympathy as no other age has been in the long procession since the close of antique life, rejoices in a truer vision and has earned a truer vision, in the Greek fashion, by "toil and cost." Earlier efforts to picture the scene of the Olympic games leave us cold, no matter how skillfully the writers weave in the details from antiquarian and from scholiast, whereas now everything has become more vivid for all that has been revealed to us by the excavations at Olympia. Gardner's chapter on Olympia and Shorey's article on the Olympic games breathe the breath of life.
"Everything that has been brought to light at Olympia has brought with it new light for the scene, for the games. The Hermes of Praxiteles is henceforth for us the impersonation of the youthful athlete, whose physical prowess has not made him forget tenderness and reverence. The Nike of Paionios revives for us the resistless rush of victory. We mingle in the eager crowds, we feel the tremulous excitement; we too become passionate partisans and swell the volume of cheers." But in the presence of the brilliant scene and in the midst of the flush of the contest we must not forget what it all means. We must not forget the great altar that dominates Olympia. We must not forget that there were priests and prophets among the victors. The festival was sacred to the supreme god. The year was a sacred year; the poems that celebrated the victories were sacred poems. Pindar, the last prophet of the Doric creed, with its great exemplar Herakles, was a consecrated man. The athlete served God with his body; the victor in the chariot-race served God with his substance.
The life of the Olympian victor was a term of comparison, not for happiness merely, but for blessedness, which is more; and this blessedness had not lost its significance even in the time of Plato. There still abode that supernal element, which cannot be restored, which has departed with the mystic meaning of the olive leaf; for the two surfaces of the olive leaf symbolized to the reverent Greek the two worlds, the upper and the lower.
Athleticism has been made so prominent in the games that we need to be reminded that the victories celebrated by Pindar do not all involve physical prowess. A certain risk was run by those who drove the chariots; but these were not always the owners, and a good third of Pindar's odes tell of those who gained the victory by purse rather than by prowess. No wonder; for these high and mighty people who indulged in chariot-races were the very people who could afford to pay for so expensive an adornment of the triumph as one of Pindar's golden odes. "Expense and toil" are emphasized as well as "toil and expense." To be sure, it might not be well to compare a victory in the chariot-race with building a church or founding a divinity school; yet the consecration is there. When Demaratus, one of the most romantic of Greek characters, leaves Sparta forever to join the Persians, Herodotus watches his receding figure in sympathetic mood. Demaratus had done the state good service, and more especially, of all the Spartan kings he alone had won for the Lacedæmonians an Olympic victory with the four-horse chariot. In this whole class of Pindaric odes there is a marked recognition of the favor of God, and in one of them we have a vision of the world to come. How foreign is all this to us! What a contrast between the Dantesque vision of the ode in honor of Theron's victory and the record of the latest trotting-match! But after all, when we think of the Greek games, we think first of athleticism, and it is well. The first recorded victory was a victory in a foot-race, the most simple of all, the most Greek of all. And athletic victories were something to date by. So Thucydides dates by them,—Thucydides, who does not deal much in side-lights, who keeps to the inexorable march of events, the merciless chain of causation, the remorseless machinery of politics and war: " 'T was the Olympiad in which Dorieus was victor for the second time." He dates by Dorieus as he dates by the priestess of Hera at Argos, who had been fifty years in office when the war broke out, and who in the ninth year of the war was so unlucky as to set the temple on fire. Somehow these dates do not produce exactly the same effect as the fire at Chicago,—also due to an old woman,—and the fight between Corbett and Sullivan.

I'd have to agree. In my opinion, what you're showing is a collection of snapshots. It may be to your advantage to contact (good) local photographers - on and off line; explain that you're interested in getting into the business and ask if they'd consider a trade situation. Then, after you've done a few sessions, pick the best shots (I'd recommend using only one image per outfit per location - less is generally more) and start building a good portfolio. If you're trying to attract money, you may come out ahead by asssembling some good quality samples before you "open for business".
Good luck!

Police in an armored vehicle secure a road leading to the U.S. embassy in Sanaa, Yemen, Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2013. The State Department on Tuesday ordered non-essential personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Yemen to leave the country. The department said in a travel warning that it had ordered the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel from Yemen "due to the continued potential for terrorist attacks" and said U.S. citizens in Yemen should leave immediately because of an "extremely high" security threat level.

Difference Between a Waffle Iron and Waffle Maker?
Good Questions
Q: Is there a difference between a waffle iron and a waffle maker?
I've been wondering about this for some time and I just came across the waffle recipe in one of the best of 2009 articles. Is one stronger than the other (their names make it sound like it)? Will you get the same result?
I have a waffle maker I think, but if the iron will make something even better, I may consider investing in one later on.
Sent by Debbie
Editor: Debbie, we think that the two terms are often used interchangeably. But, strictly speaking, a waffle iron is a gadget that makes waffles over the stove or campfire, like the model from REI pictured above:
• GSI Waffle Iron, $17.93 at REI
A waffle maker, on the other hand, refers to an all-in-one waffle-making system, with its own internal source of heat. It's like an electric griddle for waffles.
• UNO Round Belgian Waffler, $59.99 at Sur La Table
We have only used the second sort of waffle device, so we can't speak to the differences. But we have been wanting to try yeasted waffles in an old-fashioned cast iron waffle iron for a long time now!
Readers, any thoughts on waffle irons vs. waffle makers?

You guys have heard of the site http://www.waffleizer.com right? It's awesome!!! Cracks me up.
Fruitmaven: Bookmarked! That looks awesome, thanks for sharing.
that site is GREAT!!!!! my fav lines on it so far
"Gee, I should really get a waffle iron."
Which ... sounds like you don't already have a waffle iron.
Which can't be true.
Because waffles are delicious.*
When I was young I only knew about real waffle irons and used one regularly at our off-the-grid cottage. Yummmyyy!
But really there is no reason at all for someone to have both kinds of waffle-making devices in a home. For camping trips, however, waffle irons are a nice breakfast activity.
We have the waffle iron on top and it works great for camping. We even took it to Mexico.

What are the Social Sciences subject areas?
What are the Social Sciences subject areas?
New entrants to universities usually want to study for a degree in a single subject area such as Politics, Geography or Management and are often confused by the term 'Social Sciences' and where it fits in with 'Subjects' and this is explained below.
The social sciences form a group of related subject areas within which teaching, learning and research combine to help understand and improve the activities that make up 'society'.
A group of related subject areas is usually called a College and in the case of the group of social sciences subject areas at Glasgow, the College of Social Sciences.
Social Sciences subject areas at the University of Glasgow
Social Sciences subject areas at the University of Glasgow
These subject areas are the core Social Sciences subject areas. You are not limited to taking courses in just these subject areas. You will find out more about additional courses in the section on 'Structure of the Honours MA (Social Sciences) degree'
Here is the list of our Social Sciences subject areas:
- Business and Management
- Central & East European Studies
- Economic & Social History
- Economics
- Geography
- Politics
- Psychology
- Public Policy
- Sociology
Other Useful Information
Other Useful Information
Teaching and research in Social Sciences Subjects are usually the responsibility of a School and/or Subject within the College of Social Sciences.
However Geography and Psychology are not subjects within the College of Social Sciences. The School of Geographical & Earth Sciences and the School of Psychology are located in the College of Science and Engineering. However, they teach their subject areas to students on the MA (Social Sciences) degree programme. If you are to become an MA (Social Sciences) undergraduate student, you can think of them as Social Sciences subjects.
Some MA (Social Sciences) students also choose to include in their degree programme courses from other College of Social Sciences degree courses such as Accounting & Finance or from other Colleges such as the College of Arts or the College of Science and Engineering.
Recommended Subject sites
Central & East European Studies, Economic & Social History, and Public Policy that teach some of the MA (Social Sciences) core subjects are interesting and enjoyable areas of learning. Please visit these Web sites where you will find out about the content of the different courses they teach, the people who teach them and the other important activities that take place. When you visit their sites, look for the sections on undergraduate study and information for students, in particular.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Chances are, the type of people taking this poll lean more to the hardcore gamer side. (I mean if you read up on everything WoW related it's safe to say that you are not just a casual gamer).
I believe most hardcore gamers know all about the 3rd party chat programs, but one must think of the tons of casual gamers that might not be aware of them.
For the casual gamer, this now makes getting voice chat going extremely easy. Just plug in a mic and go.
It also makes it easy if you are the gamer that meets new people in WoW all the time and doesn't have a set group of guildies that all hang out on your TS/Vent server.
- It's really hard to get a brand new group and get them all to join some 3rd party chat program. With in game, this problem is solved.
- Makes it easy for casual gamers or those "technology impaired" to get voice chat going
- You can now switch channels in game to talk to different groups of people without having to switch TS/Vent servers.
- Lag? I never got any or saw any so I can't really comment on this.
- Find out a guildy you thought was a woman is actually a man?

Letting Loose the Houndsby Brady Udall
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Set in the small towns of Utah and Arizona, most of these stories deal with letting loose'"or wanting to'"in all its forms. For the family hero in "Buckeye the Elder," this means reverting to a more raucous past. In the title story, under a galaxy-filled sky, there is the eerie thrill of possible revenge. Ansie, in "The Opposite of Loneliness," risks joining a distinctly eccentric family unit despite five failed marriages (her "Purple Hearts"). The young men of "Vernon," home to 800 souls, dream of leaving but settle for the macho euphoria that comes from making loud noises and destroying things. And in "Junk Court," a handyman, not so handy with love, finds himself considering some breakout decisions.
These are sad/sweet stories, moving from the familiar to surprising destinations. But even when disaster looms, Brady Udall's fine comic sense keeps bubbling up, sustaining his men and women in their sometimes extravagant efforts to connect and cope. Plunged in the moment, these stories have velocity; they spray gravel as they take off.
Ten quirky, bighearted tales from the contemporary West by an inspired storyteller at the beginning of his career. Think Rick Bass. Think Pam Houston. Think Walter Kirn.
"Funny, unpredictable, and abounding with strange beauty . . . a fierce new voice of the American West."--
Shimmering with life and the irresistible pull of the heart, Brady Udall"s stories traverse a geography of lost love and fragmented lives, leaving us sated with a raw yet romantic vision of the men and women in today"s still-wild West.
Exploding with an unsettling exuberance, Brady Udall's stories traverse a geography of lost love, fragmented lives, and satisfying revenge. From the night a six-foot-three Apache Indian holding a goat steps into a moonlit Arizona backyard in "Midnight Raid" to the pivotal moment when a man, delirious from a dental extraction, gets rescued by a stranger in the title story, Udall injects his stories and characters with equal parts darkness and humor. These are sad and sweet stories, moving from the familiar to surprising destinations. But even when disaster looms, Udall's fine comic sense sustains his men and women in their sometimes extravagant efforts to connect and cope. Plunged in the moment, these stories have velocity; they spray gravel as they take off.

Brady Udall is the author of Letting Loose the Hounds, The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint, and The Lonely Polygamist. His work has appeared in The Paris Review, Esquire, Playboy, and elsewhere. He lives in Boise, Idaho.

'30 Rock' takes on Tracy Morgan's antigay comedy routine -- VIDEO
In case you missed it (and judging by those ratings, you did), Thursday's episode of 30 Rock addressed the scandal involving Tracy Morgan and his antigay slurs last June. In the episode, Morgan's character Tracy Jordan ignites a protest after he angers audiences with his homophobic stand-up routine.
Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) reacts by telling Tracy he's a public figure and "believe it or not, the dumb things you say may influence or hurt people. You need to apologize."
So in true 30 Rock fashion, Jordan apologizes to the makers of Glad bags rather than GLAAD, a.k.a. the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. Liz ends up apologizing for Tracy by saying "he's not capable of hate…he's just an idiot who doesn't know what he's saying."
"I thought it was hilarious," GLAAD's senior director of programs Herndon Graddick told The New York Times. "We've been called worse than trash-bag manufacturers and forward to seeing the second part next week."
Morgan came under fire last summer for an antigay rant during a weekend gig at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. He issued apologies ("I'm not a hateful person and don't condone any kind of violence against others") and met repeatedly with GLAAD. See the clip: READ FULL STORY
Emma Stone, Andy Samberg, and Nick Cannon to guest on '30 Rock' -- EXCLUSIVE
How fitting to have a Stone on a Rock: Emma Stone will make a cameo in an upcoming episode of 30 Rock, along with Andy Samberg and Nick Cannon, series creator-star Tina Fey tells EW.
In the Jan. 26 episode of the NBC comedy, Jenna (Jane Krakowski) stars in "a movie from the producers of Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve called Martin Luther King Day," says Fey. "I want to lay claim to that bit before anyone gets it. It's a movie that has everyone in the world in it." That includes the aforementioned actors from The Help, Saturday Night Live, and Up All Night, who will be seen in a trailer for the faux film.
30 Rock, which kicks off its sixth season Thursday at 8 p.m., will also feature such guest stars as James Marsden, Mary Steenburgen, Will Arnett, Denise Richards, Kelsey Grammer, and Kristen Schaal.
UPDATE: NBC has moved the airdate of the episode to Feb. 2.

According to a new teaser from NBC, Jack Donaghy has continued subjugating Kenneth to creepy role play since Avery's abduction by a North Korean dictator seven months back, while Liz Lemon has learned Spanish on a chain gang, brought back the dickey, and, yes, picked up a new boyfriend (we called it!).
Though it's still to be determined whether Lemon's new beau — ultra laid-back hot-dog vendor Chriss (James Marsden) — will ever measure up to "doorman to the sky" Carol Burnett (Matt Damon), one thing is certain: Jack does not approve. Also? Lemon's new love celebrates really strange anniversaries with equally strange gifts.

Welcome back '30 Rock': It's a Ludachristmas miracle! -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO
One of the saddest casualties of 30 Rock's belated season 6 is that audiences have been robbed of the sitcom's annual Christmas episode. There was no Ludachristmas this year. No Lemon party. No Verdukian Holiday of Mouth Pleasures. Fortunately, when 30 Rock kicks off in three weeks, Liz Lemon makes up for it by eagerly sharing her family holiday stories with an unimpressed Jack. After six years, Donaghy knows his protegé well — too well, judging by the accuracy with which he can guess the highlights of Lemon's trip home to Pennsylvania. But Lemon now understands there are some things you should keep close to the vest with your boss — or anyone with eyes. To Donaghy's horror, it turns out the Lemons didn't exchange tacky Christmas sweaters this year.
Watch an exclusive clip from the long-awaited season premiere, and tune in when 30 Rock returns Jan. 12 at 8 p.m. on NBC. Liz Lemon is back! And most likely, a little chilly. READ FULL STORY

(Maybe he'll also be running against Jack Donaghy for mayor of New York. Twist!) So what's being kept so hush-hush? That she's playing (and/or possibly cheering) for the WNBA team the New York Liberty?

Utah poverty study shows school key to breaking cycle
By Christopher Smart
The Salt Lake TribuneFirst published Oct 03 2013 06:29PM
Education is one prime ingredient in any formula to break the cycle of poverty that can follow a family from generation to generation, new Utah data indicates.
A report on poverty and public assistance published Thursday reveals, for example, that less than 1 percent of those trapped in intergenerational poverty earned a college degree. The state average, by contrast, is 19.5 percent.
Education is key to interrupting the cycle, said Jon Pierpont, executive director of the Utah Department of Workforce Services. So the question for leaders to answer is: "What do we do policy-wise for the children being born into this situation" to ensure a good education?
The facts and figures being collected in the second year of the ongoing study "Intergenerational Poverty, Welfare Dependency and the Use of Public Assistance in Utah" are aimed ultimately at helping come up with those policy solutions.
"We are the only state in the country doing this," Pierpont said. "We are learning what it will take to break the cycle of poverty."
According to Carrie Mayne, chief economist for Workforce Services, the study defined those stuck in "intergenerational" poverty as people who received 12 months or more of any kind of public assistance as children and at least 12 months of public assistance as adults. Typically, a 40-year-old adult in the category would have received public assistance for 11.9 years.
Some 13.6 percent — or 382,750 — of Utah's 2.8 million residents live in poverty, according to federal guidelines. The study identified that nearly one of 10 of those — 36,500 — are people in intergenerational poverty.
Utahns fitting that category were compared to others who received some public assistance, but for less than 12 months, and to Utah's population as a whole. Some of the results are revealing.
Those on public assistance work when they can find jobs, according to the study. And folks in the intergenerational poverty group worked more often than others who applied for public assistance. But when the economy dropped in 2009, the intergenerational poverty group lost more jobs, Mayne said.
That may be the impact of their relative lack of training, she said.
