LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- South Oldham firefighters are still putting out hot spots after an early morning fire in Crestwood.
It happened in the 7800 block of Kilgus Circle. Firefighters got the call around five this morning. When they arrived on scene they found heavy smoke and flames.
"This became a two alarm fire very quickly," said South Oldham Assistant Fire Chief Kevin Parker. The heaviest damage was in the back of the home, near the attic. Investigators believe some sort of electrical problem sparked the flames, but they are still looking into the exact cause. Parker says the fire was more dangerous than usual because of the age of the home.
After about an hour of battling the flames, firefighters got the fire under control.
Despite a partial roof collapse, no one was hurt. While the damage is extensive, crews did save part of the home.
According to the fire chief, about 30 percent of the house has been destroyed.

It's been sometime since we heard from HTC. But today the company announced what looks like their newest flagship phone running Windows Mobile 8, the 8X.
The 4.3-inch display, covered in Gorilla Glass, is of the Super LCD 2 ilk, and supports a 720p resolution. The phone itself measures 132.35 x 66.2 x 10.12 mm and weighs 130g. Compared to the soon to be released iPhone 5 it is longer, wider, and fatter (both in girth and weight).
The Window 8 Mobile platform is powered by a Qualcomm S4 1.5 GHz Dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM. There is 16GB of built-in storage, which is not expandable via microSD card slot. Despite the presence of NFC support, HTC skimped on the Bluetooth chip by only installing a 2.1 compatible version.
Optically the company is pushing their front facing, wide angle 2.1-megapixel camera, which supposedly captures triple the amount of info compared to other "leading smartphones". That said, the rear camera is an 8-megapixel shooter with an F2.0 aperture, 28mm lens and LED flash. Yes, both cameras can capture 1080p video and is further supported by a dedicated HTC ImageChip. As expected the HTC 8x includes Beats by Dre audio processing, though this is the first we've seen it in a Windows phone. Lastly, there is an 1800mAh battery, which with normal use will probably require a recharge once a day, though your mileage will vary with how aggressively you use apps.

The new Jesse McCartney horror flick "Chernobyl Diaries" is a slap in the face to the 400,000 victims of the real-life nuclear disaster ... so says a Chernobyl recovery organization.
For those unfamiliar with the Chernobyl disaster ... (shame on you if you're one of them) ... scores of people were killed or disfigured when the nuclear power plant exploded in the Ukraine in 1986.
Now, the Friends of Chernobyl Centers U.S. tells TMZ ... it's furious with the plot of the new movie -- in which several people who were mutated in the blast hunt down unwitting tourists.
"It is terrible that such a tragic event as Chernobyl is being sensationalized in a Hollywood horror film," a rep for the org tells us.
"Thousands of people have died and over 400,000 people were evacuated from their homes. Today over 5 million people still live on contaminated land. The horror is not mutants running around, the real horror is the effect that Chernobyl continues to have on the lives of millions who have been devastated physically, emotionally and economically."
The rep adds, " If you feel compelled to go see this movie, take the adrenalin you get from the horror to go do something good and make a difference in the lives of those still living with Chernobyl every day."
Where's alll the super heroes? It works in the comic books and movies.
When I saw the first commercial for the movie I was Horrified. Hope nobody goes to the movie, buys the DVD or that any TV. Channel would play it.
One disaster doesn't trump another - there are several things that happen in history and movies been made of it . I would support the movie because its a movie...not a false do***entary.
Remember 9/11 - its been stuff on that
World Wars
Earth quake disasters
many people were killed - the movie just bring awareness to people that don't know-
Its a Movie people. Get over it.
It's a movie. Period.
Enough of the overly sensitive politically correct bullsh*t.
Everyone is looking for an excuse to whine and complain (and be compensated) for every damn thing.
Not to sound like a total jerk, but they do realize that EVERY tragedy that's ever taken place in the world has been made into a movie (be that a good movie or not) by Hollywood. Seriously, NOTHING is off limits to Hollywood... even if it should be.
this movie looks like a rip-off of the hills have eyes
For all that are saying "it's just a movie....get over it"......would you feel the same if you had family or friends still being affected by this disaster??
for the comment above that ukarine and russia is the same thing, what a stupid low life that wrote that, im from ukraine and i was 6 years old when chernobyl hapenned 5 miles away from my house, luckily i wasnt exposed to radiation, but many people were, i was sent away to moscow for a year, untill the radiation levels will go down, after that i was being treated anyway, just in case the doctors missed something, so for an IDIOT by the name of (MY BIG SALAMI) what a name, get a life jerk read some books, and go back to school moran, if u dont know jack dont sit here behind u screen and write bull ****, russia and ukarine are 2 different countries, with 2 different languages, what a low life
Do they stil teach history in school? I get that the youngsters these days think the world started the day they were born, but it is important to know the past before we were born. Although it seems like the world will never learn from our past mistakes, It is still good to know where we and our families came from and the amazing inventions and historic moments that made us who we are today.
Shame on someone who isn't familiar with Chernobyl? So we are supposed to study EVERY event that has occured in human histtory to avoid shame? **** YOU TMZ
I will watch it just because bully liberals tell me not to.
What a pathetic idea. Sends a terrible message about Hollywood, shame on Warner Brothers. Waste of money too, doesn't seem like it will do well.
Art imitates life. Sometimes its a poor imitation, but still.
Does this disaster have anything to do with Ukrainian women. Eastern european girls are by far the prettiest in the world. Russia and Ukraine are the most attractive by far today. It seems like their genes are pure and there's not alot of mixing races. Every time I see something filmed over there I can always spot tons of hot chicks all over the place. Mila Kunis anybody?

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Lubbock police who were searching for missing teenager Elizabeth Ennen, 15, found a body along County Road 1700 near Shallowater. The discovery was at 5:30 PM Monday.
Police say they cannot comment on whether or not the body is Elizabeth until the Medical Examiner makes a positive identification. A Medical Examiner's investigator was on scene Monday night. Windy conditions were said to make the work more difficult.
Police Captain Greg Stevens said police contacted the Ennen family after the discovery of the body.
Stevens said police were not yet concluding that it was Elizabeth, "however, we do not have any other outstanding missing person reports that significantly match the description of the body that we found."
Police were also back on the scene in the 5600 block of Elm Monday night, after having done a search at that location Sunday. Police have not said how that location fits in with the body that was discovered early Monday evening.
Police also said Monday night that more court records would be filed Tuesday in the Ennen case but did not give further details. Humberto Salinas, 45, remained locked up in the Lubbock County Jail where he has been since Saturday when he charged with kidnapping Elizabeth.
Court records first thing Monday morning revealed that surveillance video portrays Salinas taking Elizabeth against her will on January 5th at the Carriage House Hotel.

Laptops too?
When unplugging the power adapter from any of their portables, Apple officially recommends that it be unplugged from the portable first then from the AC outlet to avoid causing problems with the PMU. If the power drops or goes out completely, this is essentially like unplugging your adapter in reverse. I've seen brownouts cause problems with both a desktop and a portable at the same time. This may only happen a fraction of the time but why take chances? Fortunately, a PMU reset or leaving the portable shut down for a while can usually get things back to normal. More seriously though, most power strip surge protectors are majorly inferior to the spike protection circuitry in a UPS - and the right type of power spike could easily take out your power adapter, your DC-in board or even your logic board.

Hi all,
Apologies if this question isn't appropriate for this forum, but it seems like the right place to start.
I understand that 10 bit color means that each of the RGB channels has 1024 different possible values, leading to a over a billion possible colors.
I also understand that in order to achieve true 10 bit color (in the context of playing video files on a computer), you need:
a video file that is encoded in 10 bit color
software that supports this
a video card capable of 10 bit processing (and drivers that support/unlock this)
a video cable that supports this (i.e. displayport)
a 10 bit capable display
I've also read that even if you are missing the hardware requirements for 10-bit color, you can achieve a benefit by playing 10-bit files on an 8 bit display, due to "higher internal precision" which compensates for/reduces the noise involved in decoding. This means that any banding that would have been introduced due to this noise would be reduced. I've also heard that there are file size benefits.
I have a few questions:
I'm assuming that even if you set up everything correctly, and play a hi10p file, you will still not get true 10
bit color, unless you have the proper hardware setup. In other words, while you may reduce banding due to noise, you will never be able to eliminate the banding which is due to the limitations of 8 bit (e.g. a shallow gradient spanning the entire screen will show banding simply because there are not enough different levels of that shade to appear seamless to the eye). Is this correct?
I have a Sony GDM-FW900 - it's a high end trinitron CRT display. From what I understand, since CRTs are analogue, they are in principle capable of high color bit depths, since all they need to do is change the voltage on the guns by a slight amount. But I've also heard that higher end CRTs may actually be only capable of 8-bit color since they employ constraints in the processing pipeline to ensure accurate responses (for example, the voltage regulator may have circuitry that keeps the voltages to 256 distinct levels for each gun). Does anyone know whether trinitrons can output 10-bit color?
I have an Nvidia GTX 660, and it has displayport on it. I've heard that under linux at least, one can obtain drivers that unlock the 10-bit capabilities of nvidia cards (under windows you apparently need a quadro to do this). Given that I have a CRT, would I still need to use the displayport? Currently, I use DVI-BNC.
thanks for reading if you got here!

Thread: question about 10 bit color
You are mixing up 10bit vs. 8bit precision calculation.
And 4:2:0 vs 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 color sampling.
a. the 10bit precision of the calculation is what causes banding (or helps avoiding it)
b. the 10bit precision is what is not supported by hardware decoders
c. 10bit precision can be used with each of the yuv color samplings 4:2:0/4:2:2/4:4:4
d. 10bit precision does not need a special display to help
-> only if you want 10bit color sampling you need a special (higher color sampling is ment to avoid chroma sub-sampling artifacts)
so what's the relevant issue when it comes to producing 1024*1024*1024 possible colors: 10 bit, or chroma subsampling?
I'm not really familiar with chroma subsampling, but I always understood 10 bit color as meaning 1024 possible levels per channel.
If your goal is to avoid banding on smooth color gradients you need a higher calculation precision.
If your source is 4:4:4 or 4:2:2 and you want to keep the color representation as correct as possible use more more bits for color sampling.
If your source is 4:2:0, which is normally the case unless you do a screen capture or record a video game, up-sampling the color (to 10bit) won't help make the image look better.
-> personally I use 10bit coding precision if I do not care about hardware support (since I encode for software only playback; the decoder still needs to support 10bit coding precision)
Personally I never use higher chroma sampling (unless my source is 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 and I create intermediate files), since the decoders I use do a good job avoiding sub-sampling problems. For more Infos about chroma sub-sampling, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling
Most common consumer distribution formats will be 8bit and subsampled 4:2:0 (e.g. blu-ray , dvd, flash). You can find probably many anime (e.g. fansubs) probably encoded with Hi10p, but they are likely derived from 8bit sources
So you can look at some blender projects (e.g. tears of steel, sintel), there are full features available in 16bit pngs or tiff sequences ; Or look on the red forums for some redcode footage . Many pro cameras will have aquisition in 10bit or more usually 4:2:2 or better (e.g. Panasonic's AVC-Intra is 10bit 4:2:2 Hi10p) ; in fact 10bit is pretty much standard for pro format aquisition . So if you encode one of those sources properly from 10bit or higher sources, then you can achieve what you want
thanks a lot for the information. Any insights into the CRT/displayport side of things?
Sorry, no clue haven't had a crt monitor for quite some time,..
np, appreciate all the help
it's a high end trinitron computer monitor, so it may well do some digital processing. Maybe there's a way to hack it though, through something like WinDAS.
I doubt a CRT based computer monitor would do any digital processing of the incoming signal. It's likely all analog. A high end TV might be different.
very cool, there may be hope for 10 bit color for me then
What is your input that 10bit color sampling makes sense?
I'd like to experiment with graphics applications that support 10 bit color. I'd just like to be able to visually experience it. Also, if there are 10 bit video files (maybe anime or other), that have a 10 bit color source, then it'd be nice to experience that too.
But I love me some shallow gradients

Ad Hoc connections can be prevented by proper configuration of clients. Illegal association can be made more difficult by MAC filtering. And organizations who are serious need to monitor rf activity in their area, not just traffic.

Glass Prison JUNE 2010 Reviews
Ray sees something disturbing on the net, Concert in Nurburg, Kelly calls Gee
Christa and Jamia were both sleeping when she let herself into the apartment. Christa woke and sat up, "Hey, what time is it?" she rubbed her eyes and reached over for her glasses she had sat on the coffee table.
"Just a bit before three. Thanks again for coming over. I really don't feel comfortable leaving her alone." She gestured to Jamia who was still sleeping.
'Hey anytime. It was nice getting to know her. I still feel kinda strange not knowing Ray's friends very well." she stood, "Well I better be getting home. Ray didn't even call me once. I swear that man drives me crazy."
"Did you guys have lunch?" Monica was wondering if she needed to make Jamia a snack.
"Yeah, I made us some sandwiches. Oh, there was a call for you, but she wouldn't leave her name."
"What did she say?" Monica wondered why would be calling her here at Jamia's. Her first thought was Donna but she know she would have left a message or called her cell phone.
"She just asked for you and when I said you weren't here she said she would call back later." Christa stood and stretched. "Thanks for asking me to come and stay with Jamia."
"Thank you for doing it. I'm gonna start dinner in about an hour. Are you sure you can't stay?"
Christa shook her head, "No I really wanna get back to Ray. I know it sound silly cause it's only been a few hours but I miss him."
Monica smiled, "It doesn't sound silly at all. Tell him I said hi." Monica said pretending she hadn't just saw Ray.
"I will." She started towards the door, "Ask me anytime you want and I'll come over and stay with Jamia."
Leaning over impulsively, Monica gave Christa a hug. Christa looked shocked but quickly recovered. She looked as if she was about to ask Monica something but just smiled and walked out.
The crowd loved them. The energy and the love overwhelmed the group. "Nurburg let me hear you scream...fuck yeah." Gerard launched into 'Sharpest Lives' as the screaming became deafening. This song, written about the lifestyle he had lived during the drug and alcohol period of his life, always had a strong impact on him. As he sang 'if I crash on the couch can I sleep in my clothes' he remembered all the times he had done just that. He remembered all the times Liv had been there right beside him. He physically shook his head to clear the memories.
He managed to keep her from this thoughts until he began to sing "I Don't Love You Anymore" She was the woman in the song. Why he wondered was he thinking about her? The rest of the concert went by in a blur, he performed with all the intensity he always gave but when they left the stage his emotions crashed. The question was asked in the darkened backstage hall.
"You were thinking about her, weren't you?"
"You always know what I'm thinking?" he asked.
The laughter was instantaneous, "I was there, remember? When she wounded you I tried to bandage you up. Loving you was like loving a man in a glass prison, I could see you but I couldn't touch you. But I always knew what you were thinking."
Frank walked by, 'Gee, Monica's waiting for you to call." He reminded his friend softly.
Gerard looked at him, he knew what Frank was trying to tell him. "I'll call her as soon as I get back to the hotel."
Frank stopped and turned, "Want me to wait for you? We can go back together."
Gerard looked down, "No, I've got some stuff to do." He mumbled,
Frank frowned but said nothing. Shit he hoped Jamia wasn't right.
Ray was sitting at the computer when Christa let herself into the apartment. "Hey babe, how's Jamia?'
"She's feeling fine. We watched a movie and then both of us fell asleep." She walked over, stood behind the computer chair and hugged him. "So what did you do while I was gone?"
"Just looking on YouTube, some fans have posted some great video of the London show." He clicked on another link.
Christa stood and walked across the room to the sofa, "So Ray, are you gonna mention that Monica was here?"
Ray swiveled in the chair, "What are you talking about?"
"When I was getting ready to leave she hugged me. It was weird having another woman smell like my Ray." She stared at him without blinking. It was unnerving how she could do that. Ray thought fast.
"She did stop by but I didn't mention it because she asked me not to. She's been worried about Gee. She said when he calls he sounds tired and kind of distracted. I guess she thought that maybe he had called me and that I knew something."
Christa continued to stare, "Okay" she said slowly. "But he hasn't called you has he?"
"No" he said with a frown, "I kinda thought he would have but I guess they are really busy." Truth be told he was hurt that Gerard hadn't called him. Frank had called to see how he was and even honeymooning Mikey had phoned.
Christa stood, "I'm gonna search the kitchen and decide what looks good for dinner. Any suggestions?"
Ray had turned back to the computer, "No whatever you want is fine with me." He clicked on another link and a picture appeared that made him stare. Oh hell he thought maybe the lie he told Christa wasn't really a lie after all. Could this be why Gerard hadn't called him? Had Monica noticed anything like he had told Christa? He clicked the photo off and decided to try to call Gee himself.
Kelly sat on the back porch staring at the cell phone in her hand. She looked at her watch and was sure that the concert was over. She wanted to call Gerard but she wasn't sure why. Would he be mad if she did? He told her once she could call anytime she wanted. She pushed the button and waited.
The noise in the background was so loud Kelly could barely hear him. "Hello, Kell" he answered.
"Hey Gee, I just wanted to call to tell you something."
Gerard looked at the others at the table then turned slightly, "Okay"
Kelly paused a moment then said with conviction, "I love you Gerard. I just want you to remember that. Mom and Kara too. We all love you very much."
Gerard didn't respond immediately, he wanted to know what was going on in her head. He started to get up from the table, "Kell"
She spoke before he could say anything else, "That's all I wanted to say." She closed her phone and lowered her head.

Scratch-resistant Lexan lens material stands up to boorish branches and projectile ice particles, as well as filters out 100% UVA, UVB, UVC and blue light. The Asian Fit is designed for smaller, more petite faces, so even prima ballerinas will find a goggle that fits. You shouldn't get taken down by fog build-up, due to anti-fog treatment on the lens and chassis venting. Three layers of polar fleece foam against your face wick sweat as you bootpack to some untouched, steep chutes. Silicon on the back of the strap will keep this goggle in place as you put it through the paces of heli-boarding, backcountry touring, and resort skiing.

Elizabetta Gnudi owns Borgo Scopeto, and she and winemaker Simone Giunti are responsible for all aspects of the production of Borgo Scopeto wines.
The Chianti Classico of Borgo Scopeto comes from Castelnuovo Berardenga, which is the southern-most commune within the Chianti Classico zone. All vineyards at Borgo Scopeto are dry farmed from the day the vines are first planted.

Dear readers, I'm so sorry for having been silent for so long. Things just got so crazy before the wedding and after. I'll write about all of then in detail soon. But here is what happened in my life after my last post:
- I went to Portugal for two weeks with my then-fiancé for our pre-wedding honeymoon
- Our friends joined us in Paris first and then we traveled to Barcelona together
- Me and my girls spent a 4-day trip in Ibiza for my bachelorette party (that was amazing!!!)
- We all drove together to the south of France from Barcelona for my wedding
And all of this was part of the pre-wedding activities. Crazy, eh?
Ok. For all of you who have requested to see my wedding photos, here is one teaser photo. But I promise that there will be more to come :)
In the meantime, Merry Christmas to all of you!

Abstract (eng)
Digitized music must contain metadata in order to be licensed, searched, tracked and paid for online usage. Whether factual, cultural (tags and folksonomy), contractual-time-sensitive, content based or usage generated, new norms and standards are being defined to aknowledge the increasing role of music metadata.
The TGIT software project is an indexation platform containing music metadata for the use of creators, performers, producers of sound recordings, record labels.
Download of bilingual version (EN/FR) is available for MAC and Windows.
Thanks to some evolution of metadata information, which is progressively being recognized and used by players in the music industry worldwide, TGIT will allow music to register harmoniously and productively in the new global digital ecosystem. TGIT is not a legal online music service nor an audio file agregator. It is strictly limited to the indexing of digital audio recordings and works metadata within the existing framework. During the first phase, Iconoclaste inc. will develop the basic software (an open source "Music Tagger") for individual (desktop) use. This will allow the initial creators and producers of the copyrighted content to embed the metadata of their works in song files. The software is free for industry professionals. A second phase will involve building a metadata repository in collaboration with the rightsholders sector.
The research on which the TGIT project is based will be published in early 2013. It was carried out by Jean-Robert Bisaillon as part of his master's degree in Research Practices and Public Action at the Urbanisation Culture Société Research Centre, which is part of the National Institute for Scientific Research (INRS) in Montreal. It sets out the results of a survey conducted on metadata in the field of sound recording, conducted with the support of the Institute's laboratory / art and society / land and theory department (l / as / tt). This first research project is complemented by a second which focuses more specifically on the knowledge mobilization used in carrying out this research, and the construction and transmission of the results. Beyond this formal academic framework, the project involves a phase of mobilization and implementation which has as its aim the development of the TGIT technical and software capability. The overall aim of the project is to meet the practical needs of industry partners, and, as a logical consequence of research-action, these partners will participate to the new phases of the project.
For the purposes of our study, we have created a list of musical databases which are already in use. At the time of publication, the list contains 60 databases. It is available online under Creative Commons BY-NC-SA, and will be updated repeatedly as the work progresses. http://bit.ly/musicalmetadata
For the purposes of our study, we have also created a cross-referenced table of metadata fields in order to compare the constants and methodological differences of certain stakeholders. At present, this table brings together and compares more than 280 fields of databases and metadata ID3V2, IODA, CDDB2. SoundExchange, SOPROQ, MusicBrainz, and CISAC CWR V1. The table is available on line, and will be updated repeatedly as we go along. http://bit.ly/metadataframes

It's not like Waterloo will grow grass, but if it rains a couple days before then maybe that will tamp down the dust. That stuff can come back pretty quickly after 1-2 dry days though. The ACL problem was combo foot traffic and rain, and until FFF fest there's pretty minimal foot traffic at Waterloo

I can not stand Valentina, Alicia and new chick Jennifer.
They are all fake especially Valentina. Her ass be jumping in just to say "yeah I beat that bitches ass." Knowing Nikki whopped that ass TWICE. I do not care if Nikki left shit I would have too if all these hoes were against me but idgaf what people say Nikki beat Valentina's ass though. And Alicia probably didn't find out she could "fight" until she got on the show. I put quotes around fight because Alicia does not fight. Until I see her ass size up with someone her size with Valentina's ass barking in her corner then she will be declared as a fighter. Cause her bullying little ass Janae was not a fight. Anyways, Jennifer the newbie looks irritating AF. She seems snobby and she automatically don't like the other new roommate coming because she got a bad vibe. She just wants someone to hate so she can "prove" herself. Smh these ratchet unclassy (yes, Valentina) hoes need to chill and just have fun. And Shannon please stop kissing these bitches asses pleeeeease.

Scientists find themselves under scrutiny now more than ever before, and that scrutiny intensifies when their research is at the center of a public policy debate. Sometimes, this scrutiny helps educate the public and clarify what we know; at other times, this scrutiny is designed to confuse the public and policymakers. Today, UCS is releasing a guide that helps scientists deal with harassment and other unwarranted attacks on their integrity and their work. Read More

Breaking: Climate Change Scientist Michael Mann (and Scientific Inquiry) Win in Virginia FOIA Case

Climate Scientist Michael Mann is reporting that in a ruling from the bench, Virginia Circuit Court Judge Paul F. Sheridan has affirmed the right of the University of Virginia to protect the privacy of its researchers from overly broad open records requests. Read More
CEI Compares Climate Scientist to a Child Molester
July 23rd, 2012
Competitive Enterprise Institute's space technology and policy analyst, Rand Simberg, recently wrote a blog post in which he compared Penn State climate scientist Michael Mann to former university football coach and convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky. CEI published the post on its own blog, and the National Review decided it was appropriate to pass along. Michael Mann has rightly demanded that the National Review retract the blog post and issue a public apology.
Speaking Up for Scientists Who Receive Death Threats
June 15th, 2012
"I hope someone puts a bullet between your eyes," reads one email to British climate scientist Phil Jones after he became the target of climate change science deniers. "Please, for Christ's sake, kill yourself," reads another. "Expect us at your door to say hello," reads a third.
This is not what a scientist signs up for when he or she dedicates his or her life to the pursuit of knowledge. Read More
Who's the Crazy One Here?
May 4th, 2012
The Heartland Institute, a leading climate denialist organization, has launched a billboard campaign in its hometown of Chicago featuring Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, mass murderer Charles Manson, and Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. The message? They "believe" in global warming, and they're crazy; by implication, so are you if you "believe" in it too. Read More
GM Drives Away From Climate Denial, Dumps Heartland Institute

In Virginia, the Emperor Has No Clothes
March 2nd, 2012
Today, the Virginia Supreme Court rebuffed Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's attempts to access the personal correspondence of climate scientists at Thomas Jefferson's University of Virginia. The court's ruling found that the university does not constitute a "person" and is therefore not subject to the Civil Investigative Demands—essentially subpoenas—issued by the attorney general under the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act in 2010.

Who Is Behind the Hacked Climate Emails? And When Will the Criminals Be Brought to Justice?
December 19th, 2011
When a hacker (or hackers) released a second batch of emails stolen from scientists last month, the immediate question that sprang to my mind was, "Why haven't we found them yet?" And now, after months of apparent inactivity, it seems that British authorities are taking a renewed interest in tracking down the criminals who are responsible, and the United States Department of Justice is also getting involved.

Have You Heard the One about the Climate Scientists' Emails? (Getting tired of the same joke?)
November 22nd, 2011
Stop me if you've heard this one: computer hackers steal thousands of emails among climate change scientists from a university. They release the emails publicly just days before important climate change negotiations are set to begin. Climate change-denying bloggers and their friends in Congress take the emails out of context to accuse climate researchers of scientific misconduct and justify their conspiracy theories, and the media plays along.

Blankets and Bears, a local organization, is getting ready to distribute Christmas gift bundles to 400 kids in need.
Volunteers came out to pack up the teddy bear and blanket bundles so kids this Christmas can have something to call their own.
"It's a very worthwhile project," said Vonni Casey, a volunteer. "I'm also a special education with School District Two and I know how important it is to have something that's yours."
The Menace Motorcycle Club participated for the first time last year.
"Once you see a kid grab a bundle, and the look in their eyes, the thank you without words, that's enough to come back every year and do it," said Levi Mowrey, vice president of the Billings Menace Motorcycle Club.
Members raised nearly $7,000 for the group, and helped Blankets and Bears reach its target of providing gifts for 400 kids in Head Start, Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch, and Boys and Girls Club.
"Every kid wants a dream and we're all taught to dream when we're younger," Mowrey said. "It's just a way that we may be able to inspire some kid to dream bigger, see something brighter, and go for something. We can influence the next president. Who knows?"
"We care," Casey said. "It doesn't matter if it's Christmas. This will last long past Christmas. But we care. We love you."
Blankets and Bears organizers hope to help even more kids next year.

Really, really good. Not too sweet though, if you are looking for sweet. The texture is perfect. I rolled mine a bit thiner (about 8x8) and cut them while they were warm. They crumble, but that is OK, because they taste really good!
Chocolate Shortbread

Perhaps I did something wrong, but these tasted burnt.
Jessie123 Posted: 08/17/09
These are perfect shortbread, such a good chocolate flavor. The brown sugar shortbread is also very good. I use a mixer instead of my hands (otherwise it gets messy). Very easy and tasty.
Terrylady1 Posted: 07/06/10
I really enjoyed this cookie. Very simple to make with on hand ingredients. I would definetly make a double batch. Paired ver nicely with the brown sugar shortbread.
Eliznapoli Posted: 02/09/12
I made the lemon variation, and added a little thyme and black pepper. However, after taking them out of the oven, they were the same height as they were going in. They did not rise at all! 30 minutes was far, far, far, too long! At 20 and 25 min, they were still thin, but definitely not done on top. Still not burned, but at 26 minutes, it was all over! They tasted like burnt shortbread, but no other flavors. I might try again - maybe with other ingredients that will cause them to rose a bit - and maybe not burn!! I really want these to work!!

The Book Value of Birth Date: Max Kepler's 2010 Bowman Chrome Error
When it comes to Bowman Chrome Prospect Cards and Autographs, the age of a prospect is a big deal. After recently ripping a box of 2010 Bowman Chrome, I pulled a refractor auto featuring Twins Outfield prospect Max Kepler. As a prospect junky, I like to read the back of every Bowman Chrome Prospect card I pull. This process led me to the discovery that Kepler's listed age is off by a full decade.
Several years back, the Twins made a concerted effort to scout European baseball prospects in hopes of finding a hidden gem. This led the Twins to the doorstep of Maximilian Kepler-Rozycki, a 16-year old German outfielder with a world of potential. The Twins ended up giving Kepler an $800,000 signing bonus, which stands as the largest ever given to a European prospect. Suffice it to say, many scouts around the league believe that the Twins may have found a diamond in the rough in the 5-tooler from Stuttgart, Germany.
When sifting through Bowman Chrome, it's common place for collectors to use birth date as a means of determining the potential value of a prospect's cards. In 2010 Bowman Chrome, Max Kepler's birth date is listed as 2/10/83 rather than his actual birth date of 2/10/93.
A 27-year old prospect with 140 career minor league at-bats in the Gulf Coast League would make for one of the worst autographs in 2010 Bowman Chrome. On the other hand a 17-year old prospect with 140 career minor league at-bats with an intriguing back story and 5-tool skill set makes for an infinitely more intriguing and valuable card.
Although annoying, the error could lead to some great eBay deals on Kepler cards, collectors unfamiliar with the Twins' 5-tool European import are likely to dump his cards believing he is a 27-year old prospect who is at least 3-5 years away the majors.

To the Editor:
Some men are better supporters of women's issues than some women are. During his years in the Massachusetts legislature, Mike Barrett has proven himself to be one of those good men. Perhaps it is growing up with five sisters, or raising two daughters with his wife. Whatever the reason, Mike is a feminist who has demonstrated his understanding through leadership on Beacon Hill where he won plaudits for his support for women.
Mike has been a leader on health care issues including his promotion of comprehensive family planning and reproductive choice. He wrote and championed the first law in the nation to require that judges asked for restraining orders be networked to criminal records to see if there was a record of past abuse—an important step in the prevention of violence against women.
Mike's concern about other inequality and disparities in opportunities have led him to promote the advancement of those with disabilities, the elderly, and those who had been harmed by discrimination. He was an early courageous voice for equal treatment based on sexual orientation—and he had to stand up against the leadership at that time. Mike's demonstrated independence is based on principle.
His leadership has been critical to improving curriculum for K-12 students and was urgent in the development of state standards for schools. Mike cares about local communities and the critical services they deliver. He was the first chair of the legislature's Environmental caucus.
Mike Barrett will champion what is important to you as he always has—and he will be a hard working, effective leader. I urge you to vote for Mike Barrett for State Senate.

Earlier this week we wrote about the history of mass customization. We thought it might be interesting to talk about some of our favorite companies who are currently taking advantage of this new worldwide trend. Businesses in many different industries are letting their customers custom design their own products, here is a couple we think you will like:
What really separates this custom cereal company from others is that all their cereal is made in a gluten free dedicated facility. As we mentioned in our previous post, as people become increasingly health conscious, mass customization in the food industry is becoming more and more important. This is especially true for people with food allergies, whether it is to nuts, gluten, etc. Custom Choice Cereal gives people with celiac's disease the ability to custom create their own delicious cereal without having to worry about the effects of gluten! So check them out if you want to create your own custom gluten free cereal, we highly recommend it.
-Blue Nile is another company taking advantage of the mass customization trend. We pride ourselves that at Chocomize you can custom design the ultimate romantic gift. But at Blue Nile, an online jewelry store, you can custom design your own diamond rings, pendants, earrings and more. This might be the one company to outdo us in the romance department (we still think that a Chocomize bar would make the gift even more romantic, and ask us about our 'marry me' plaques if you are thinking about popping the question.)
-Scrapblog is a company that lets you custom design your own scrapbook. You go to their website, pick your scrapbook theme, add your own pictures, and have it shipped right to your door! This is really great because it takes all the stress of putting the pictures together yourself. So if you're looking away to get all those photos you have lying around your house together in one place, we recommend you check out their website.
-Tastebook is a custom cookbook company. You can search from a variety of different recipes on their website and choose your favorite to put together in your own book .They even let upload your own recipes and pictures. We know that there are a lot of food lovers that read our blog at Chocomize and we're guessing you guys will like this company.
Do you know any other mass customization companies? Any recommendations for us? Let us know your ideas and comments.


text: Steelcase's Gesture Chair is the first one designed to support humans' interactions with today's technologies and is inspired by the movement of your body, but crafted for the way you work today. Steelcase did a global posture study in 11 countries, observing 2000 people in a wide range of postures, and uncovered nine new postures as a result of new technologies and new behaviors. They studied how the human body interacts with technologies and how it responds as workers shift from one device to another. Research revealed ergonomic implications that, if not adequately addressed, can cause pain and discomfort for workers. Based on this research, they designed the Gesture to support posture changes specifically influenced by devices we use today.

|Corey Brewer, SF 35 MIN | 3-10 FG | 6-7 FT | 1 REB | 2 AST | 12 PTS | +1
Brewer is usually an energetic spark of mayhem, but spent most of the evening hoisting up ill-advised 3-pointers and taking bad shots in general. Even his defense was mediocre, which is never a good sign.
|Kenneth Faried, F 22 MIN | 5-8 FG | 2-2 FT | 9 REB | 0 AST | 12 PTS | 0
Look at the numbers. In 22 minutes Faried put up way better stats than Mozgov or Koufos yet he was relegated to the bench throughout the heart of the game. His defense on Blake Griffin virtually eliminated one of the Clippers' best offensive weapons while his tenacity for 50-50 balls was top notch. Had Faried received more time, which he deserved, the outcome of this game may have been different.
|Timofey Mozgov, C 23 MIN | 2-9 FG | 1-1 FT | 7 REB | 0 AST | 5 PTS | -4
Just when I was lightening up on Mozgov he goes off and has a game like this. It's funny how Karl always preaches about rookies and their mistakes, yet Mozgov is by far the worst offender in this category, and for whatever reason seems to have some of the best job security on the team. What gives?
|Andre Miller, PG 35 MIN | 3-15 FG | 2-2 FT | 2 REB | 8 AST | 8 PTS | -9
Miller was actually seen playing defense on a few occasions but was a ball stopper on far too many offensive possessions. Worst of all, he wasn't making any of his shots. It's nice to see eight assists, but really, none of them were all that spectacular. In 35 minutes, he needs to produce better.
|Arron Afflalo, SG 38 MIN | 7-10 FG | 4-5 FT | 6 REB | 3 AST | 20 PTS | -14
Afflalo has very quietly had a fantastic little stretch over the last several weeks. This is now the sixth time in the last eight games that he has scored at least 20 points. The best part about this one, however, was the fact that it was done efficiently. Afflalo's offense is, without question, improving right before our eyes.
|Al Harrington, PF 29 MIN | 3-13 FG | 5-10 FT | 6 REB | 5 AST | 11 PTS | -11
Up until the fourth quarter Al Harrington was either going to receive an "A" because the Nuggets won due to him kicking it into overdrive, or a "D" because he took way too many shots he shouldn't have and totally killed the flow of the offense. Obviously the latter ensued and as a result Harrington turned in one of the more perplexing performances he's had all season. Big Al was far too selfish and shouldn't even have been in the game the last half of the closing quarter because of it.
|Kosta Koufos, C 22 MIN | 4-5 FG | 1-2 FT | 4 REB | 0 AST | 9 PTS | +1
You'd like to see Koufos hit the boards a bit harder but his effort, as always, was there and so were a few nice baskets too. Unlike Mozgov, Koufos hardly committed a glaring error and did the job he was assigned to.
|Julyan Stone, G 13 MIN | 0-1 FG | 0-0 FT | 2 REB | 2 AST | 0 PTS | +1
Stone was either nervous, off or possibly both. He had a few nice assists and was a floor general on offense but simply could not make the type of defensive impact we've come to see from him in the last few games. He also had some bad fouls that could have been avoided. Still, Stone's effort on defense shouldn't be overlooked as it was the best of any Nugget on the floor.
|Jordan Hamilton, G 24 MIN | 6-11 FG | 2-2 FT | 7 REB | 1 AST | 18 PTS | -5
Wow. What a performance by Hamilton. As I tweeted, if not for him, I'd have been left without any hair; instead, I still have a few strands. We'll touch on Hamilton more in the "Things We Saw" section but for starters, keep in mind just how smart he played. He took no bad shots, passed when he was heavily guarded, played solid defense and even skied for a few boards. His shooting was clearly (and I mean CLEARLY) worlds better than Rudy Fernandez, but keep in mind, this is a small sample size. It should also be noted that Hamilton was the only Nugget to stay after the final whistle and congratulate the Clippers on the win, while the rest of the team hurried off to the locker room with heads hung low.
Candid Notes
— Like Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and a countless amount of others I'm probably unaware of, the Denver Nuggets allowed a star member of the opposing team go off for a season high. This time around, it was Chris Paul, who finished the game with 36 points and nine assists.
— The true residual effects of these types of losses won't be felt until May. Everyone hates the palpable feeling of a heartbreaking loss, but that's fleeting. What really hurts is getting to the playoffs and needing just one or two more wins to achieve home-court advantage or at least a better match-up. Remember this one about two months down the road.
— In his first real minutes of the season Hamilton was already trending on Twitter after just one half of basketball. That, speaks for itself.
— Riddle me this: When Kenneth Faried was doing a superb job on defending Blake Griffin, why did the Nuggets suddenly decide to double him? This left countless Clippers open for three-point shots (which, thankfully they missed or else this game would have been ugly) and caused Denver to get in foul trouble earlier than need be.
— Al Harrington can score the rock. We all know this. But tonight was really the first time his selfishness cost the team some points. If he had just swung the ball a few more times and given it up instead of uncontrollably trying to back his man down in an isolation, the Nuggets seriously might have won this game.

Of course Barbie is a nazi. She's part of a neo-nazi political regime based solely upon spreading the ideals of Arianism upon the weaker willed women of the world, hoping to forcefully encourage blond hair and blue eyes upon them all through the use of plastic dolls with unrealistic proportion (and no genitalia).
Barbie's Horse Adventure is only life ruining if people find out you play it.
Seriously, you have no idea how annoying it is to show up for a job interview and the HR person takes one look at you and starts to laugh, this goes on for about 15min when he just motions you out of the room...but no I'm not bitter at all. Nope not me. No sir. Not one bit.

Below are some tips and triks for green house gardening.
Horticulture enthusiasts in the more interesting temperate climates and anywhere where there are four seasons are faced with other great features as well as challenges. Because of the 4 seasons, gardeners are blessed with huge plant varieties favorable for planting on one or two of the months. In the period of a year, they may be given an opportunity to plant varieties that must develop cooler climates, and take advantage of the sunlit summer to plant those that would require more contact with the sun.
However , the actual seasonality of plant varieties may pose challenges to those would you rather grow plants continuously, regardless of time of year. This is especially true for flower and fruit types that require continuous sunlight for an entire year, like or fruit and vegetable perennials that do not really bear fruit and instead shrivel up in the wintertime. The response to these challenges is the development of green houses or green house facilities. A green house is really a structure made of glass or plastic that stores in the sun's rays in order to simulate the temperatures within the spring all year long inside. By storing upward heat inside a green house garden, it allows individuals to develop plants continuously even while winter rages hard outside this. Green houses also go by the name glasshouses or even hothouses. This all for your house gardening activities.
The glass or plastic utilized in the construction of green houses are specially designed to get transmission qualities that will allow for the sun's ultraviolet (uv) rays to be stored inside the green house facility, offering a warm atmosphere inside, and in effect, heating the plants and the soil. A greenhouse leaves little if any openings through which the air heated through the stored sunlight can escape; leaving a small home window or hatch open in a green house will lead to a major drop in temperatures. The general idea of the green house gardening is to protect temperature and climate sensitive plants through extreme shifts in temperature--either too hot or freezing. Maintaining a greenhouse has its own share associated with toil. Unlike the normal outdoor environment, which can be left to its own devices to some degree as nature creates some degree of stability, a green house gardening must be placed under strict rules. Inside the greenhouse is a controlled environment that has to simulate the outdoors without overcooking it.
For a start, it should regulate heat and humidity inside the facility. Elements to be considered are irrigation of the vegetation (and sufficiency of the water available to them), lighting exposure, and the presence of pests and diseases should be put into great consideration. Moreover, because the spring outdoors is sealed into one facility, natural activities like pollination should be simulated by the introduction of species that can help make this possible. Bumblebees are the most widely used option for pollinators in greenhouses. We recommend that greenhouses be built in the southeast part of the property. It is in this way the fact that minimal sunlight available during the winter will be strengthened by the greenhouse. Moreover, the house can in order to protect the greenhouse from strong winter blizzards being released in from the north. Green houses may be built attached with a house, or as stand-alone structures. These option provides more growing room for the green house gardening service.
While it may seem there is too much to do in order to basically start a green house garden, gardening enthusiasts will be more compared to willing to vouch for greenhouses, especially if gardening is really a hobby. Green house gardening affords even the busiest of oldsters to tend to their plants when they are offered. With a green house, the constraints of night and day, and even the seasons, are make the backseat. Green houses provide the option of maintaining gardens even at night because lighting and heat is actually consistently present inside the structure.
Furthermore, it gives gardeners the ability to plant exotic blooms and fruits that are usually grown in warmer tropical locations as they are able to control light exposure and temperature inside the greenhouse. Green houses may even offer profit-making possibilities for gardeners. With potted plants for in gree house growing and flowers growing in demand, green house owners get opportunities to sell what they grow in their green houses to buffer whatever maintenance costs they incur on the way.
In the higher-latitude areas, green houses carry the important task of growing fresh create in areas where the climates are harsh and cruel upon plants. This is one of the biggest reasons behind huge greenhouse facilities that house vegetables and fruits over flowers and exotic foliage. After the day, greenhouses permit the creation of a miniaturized and highly controlled surrounding to suit gardening needs. Its growing probability of provide for fresh produce in territories even with the particular instability of global climate proves to be a benefit that could be explored in the future. This is the simple green house gardening tips and tricks.
