728JET first flight scheduled for spring
With components arriving from Spain and Belgium, Fairchild Dornier has begun component integration of its first 728JET 70- to 85-passenger regional jet at its Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany facility.
With the center-fuselage/wing-box section delivered from EADS-CASA in Spain and the cockpit and rear fuselage sections from Belguim-based Sabca mated to the upper fuselage manufactured by Fairchild Dornier, the 728JET is scheduled for "power on" tests in early December. The 728JET is expected to achieve its first flight in early spring.
"We are very pleased with the performance of EADS-CASA and Sabca on these major 728JET structures," said Fairchild Dornier CEO John Wolf. "With the high quality of these parts, and the parts from our other suppliers, the integration process is proceeding smoothly. This not only proves the success of our advanced design philosophy, it demonstrates the craftsmanship of our partners."
EADS-CASA in Madrid has overall responsibility for the wing/wing-box assembly and empennage, including control surfaces and engine pylons. Sabca, based in Brussels, manages production of the cockpit and rear fuselage sections for the 728JET.
According to Fairchild Dornier, a distinctive aspect of the 728JET forward section is the windscreen frame produced by Sabca from a three-piece aluminum forging through milling techniques that result in a stronger, yet less complex structure not usually found in airliners.
The 728JET has a cabin width of 3.25 meters (128 in.) with a five-abreast seat arrangement, and can accommodate standard, four-abreast first-class seating in a mixed layout. With doors front and aft and no requirement for over-wing exits, the 728JET interior allows flexibility for 70- to 85-seat cabin layouts. Fairchild Dornier is also marketing a business jet version of the 728JET, called the Envoy 7.

Everything works in circles: Asian amateur online presence seems to be no different from this rule. When cyber sex established itself online during the mid nineties, Asian niche was dominated by Oriental women from North America, pre-dominantly adult stars and strippers from the valleys in California. After it became boring to look at same/same pornstar pussy every day, amateur niche with real Asians from Japan and South East Asia was established. However, over the past year Japanese, Thai and Filipino content has become somewhat boring and market seems to be over-saturated with cheap hookers made up as dolls. Is it time for Asian-American girlfriends? Looking at photos on Asian Porngasm, it's somewhat of an opportunistic opinion holding smutty merritt.

It's very hard for a foreigner to travel to Japan and get in touch with Japanese porn stars. An excellent reputation for a Western person is needed to be accepted by Japanese agents. Normal porn producers don't qualify for any respect by Tokyo studios and agents. They are considered third class scum bags. That's why you hardly ever see famous JAV models being featured in Western produced porn videos or men's magazines. However, it's different if a true artist packs his bags of equipment with full format cameras and knocks on doors in Tokyo talent agencies. He is spotted as a genuine artist and everybody tries to help him. I am talking about Norwegian nude art icon Petter Hegre of Hegre Art COM. One has to pull his hat from this unique photographer. He managed to hire JAV sensation Maria Ozawa, the most respected Japanese adult star for nude art shoots. Dozens of photo sets and erotic videos are scheduled to be online within the next couple of months including other great Tokyo models. While the majority of models are Caucasian, Petter has previously included unique nudes of Indonesian girls and Bali models. The quality of his content can easily be called the best available online! You shall become a fan of his nude art when you visit.

Usually, porn stars are pretty young. They are fresh from 18 to 25 and considered junk when turning into their thirties. Very few stars remain popular beyond and even fewer become famous as old porn stars. But there are exceptions of this rule of demise and one of them comes from Japan: Shigeo Tokuda is a 74year old Japanese porn star who has allegedly played in over 300 Japanese porn scenes and intends to shoot more films until he is at least 80 years of age as recently reported in Western main stream media such as the online version of Time magazine. He was also featured on the global news network CNN. His movies are probably available for download over various Japanese porn sites such as XVN. You need to dig pretty deep to find them. Unfortunately, the mature porn sensation is not that easy to find as most sites concentrate on the names of the female JAV stars rather than the male actors, but Shigeo Tokuda is definitely stealing the show in the main stream media.

Everybody thinks all Japanese girls are slim. Hey, have you ever seen the Sumo wrestlers from Japan? Those fat guys that weight a couple of hundred kilos? They also have fat girls in Japan. While fat Japanese women are not likely to start a career in Sumo, they do pretty well in porn biz. Japanese men are starting to like fat and thick girls more and more attractive as Japan BBW suggest. This fairly unknown site features chubby Japanese women in more than just revealing poses. It's the first site of the chubby Asian porn genre. You may like or dislike fat chix, but most of them have real nice big natural boobs and round asses. It's a nice change to watch them nude and in action I guess. It's definitely a new perspective for Asian amateur sex from Japan.
Nice natural boobs on a Japanese BBW
I am not a big fan of Japanese porn, because many sites are either censored or the hardcore action is simply to bad with short dicked Japanese guys that can't get their tool into position without using electrical toys for stimulation - but Japanese girls rock! However, there are a few less known Japanese porn sites around that are pretty decent or at least unique. One of them is JAV Hardcore. It's gives another meaning to the word JAV as the A stands for amateur as well as adult. The actresses on this site are less known and the setup is far less commercial than on similar themed internet offers from Tokyo and Okinawa. JAV Hardcore is not censored and has a bit of an voyeuristic approach where sex takes place in everyday situations, during an office break or while riding in the back of a Japanese car, etc. Everything is less staged than from the glossy studios who spend to much effort on decoration and makeup to satisfy phantasies rather than showing the pure raw Japanese sex from it's most natural side.

For many years Japanese porn sites were exclusive to a Japanese audience. It's just starting now that web sites from Japan open their doors for a western audience and offer English translations on their pages. Maccy Bar is one of the flagships of Japanese porn with JAV models and Tokyo amateurs. The site offers hardcore photo sets and movies. The open structure let's you view what you can expect from the site and all Japanese models. They have been around for 13 years and show a lot of content that includes 5547 Video Clips - 677800 Photos and 1642 full movies with daily updates.
I am a big fan of sexy Japanese girls. They look so tight. Awesome moaning and a lot of sexual confidence in their eyes. Much different from the obedient LBFMs of South East Asia. However, I find Japanese porn movies to be a fucking joke. All the censorship around the pubic hair (aka mosoaic) is ridiculous. Good to see a Dutch company who is publishing Tokyo Teens, one of the few Japanese porn sites that is not censored. Tokyo teens is around for a couple of years, now and still going strong. It's one of the prime uncensored Japanese adult video pay sites on the internet.

Japanese girls don't have to much pubic hair, but they usually don't cut their intimate hair at all. So even if they have a lower quantity of hairs the lenght of each hair is amazing. Sometimes a single hair grows as long as 4 to 6 inches - no joke! It's perfect for dental cleaning if you are a happy guy with a Japanese girlfriend, but to most western boys it is rather disturbing as they like their girls shaven.
Fans of bold Japanese vagina have to look far to find a website they like. One of the few out there is G-Queen. Unlike many other Japanese porn sites, G-Queen is not censored and you can enjoy the full beauty of a hairless Asian vagina in action. The site is very expensive if you want to join and see everything. If you want cheaper, you need to select a site with hairy girls. Life can be tricky at times.
Hairless Japanese vagina is available at G-Queen for a premium price.
Christmas is getting closer and you need to put a lot of money aside for all those gifts that you want to buy. Your budget for Asian girls might be very tight in December. No need to panic! There are plenty of sites out there that offer free Asian porn with fresh images and videos every day. The sites I am talking about are Asian TGPs that publish free Asian galleries on a daily basis. Here is a list of some of the biggest Asian TGP sites on the net:
Asian Thumbs - the biggest Asian TGP by far with searchable archives
Tokyo Porn - mostly Japanese Girls on rotation
Osaka 69 - filthy hardcore galleries of bargirls and asian streatmeat
Asianzilla - pretty nice selection of Asians and ladyboys
Have fun with the free pics and movies that are given out by Asian TGP sites.
This is not your typical Asian porn site. Actually, Asian Panty Peeks does not even show full nudity, but it gives you a nice and refreshing angle at how seductive Asian girls can be. Panty peeks transfers it's viewers into the intimate surrounding of Asians who wanna flirt with you. They are willing to tease and reveal with a combination of exotic seduction, flirty personality and the open use of exposing some of their most attractive body parts for ... just a peek. Don't be fooled, even if the site is not as explicit as porn sites it can be very erotic. Nice to see that the growing pool of Asian adult sites leaves room for flirty seduction besides all the hardcore filth. To be honest, I would rather have one of the Pantypeek girls stay with me over night than any of the bargirls that are featured on most Asian hardcore sites.

The abbreviation JAV stands for Japanese Adult Video and is the term representing Japanese porn on the internet. Female porn stars are often related to as JAV Idols. Many of the JAV idols are famous in Japan beyond their appearances in porn movies, but also appear as fashion models and on regular TV shows. While porn movies are censored inside Japan, many internet sites offer access to uncensored Japanese porn as these are based outside of Japan, like in the Netherlands, USA or Canada. Some of the best JAV sites out there are JAV Models, G Queen and Teens from Tokyo as they accept Gaijin customers. Most Japan based porn sites will not allow foreigners to access their materials and will not even reply to email requests. What a pitty!

Miko Matsuda is a new Japanese amateur with an erotic solo girl site. She was born and raised in Japan, lived in Thailand and finally moved on to settle in the US. The Japanese amateur's website opened in the last week of March and is accepting new members via Verotel's tickets club credit card billing. Miko looks like she is very tall and big, but still with very feminine shape and fine Japanese style. Her preview does not reveal to much, but according to the webmaster and their advertisement the member's section will be completely uncensored.
Have you ever heard of Reon Kadena? Sometimes she goes by the name of Leon? Obviously she is a sexy Japanese nude model from Osaka. I mean, she is probably the most gorgeous Asian or Japanaese model I have seen that has been modeling nude. She has a charming smile, a perfect body and great marketing. Since I have seen the 21-year old model's first nudes I am really stunned. I am posting one nude here on the blog so you have the chance to agree with me. I do believe she looks hotter than Pamela Anderson, much hotter! I am keeping my language at an appropriate level as I still hope that one day I will meet her and she will admit that she wants to become my girlfriend. If I never happen to meet her, I think I will die! Well, sooner or later that will be ...
This is a great nude from Reon Kadena. See more of her nudes on her profile on jheat.
Did you ever hear about a site called JP18? I am pretty sure you did. I did, too. But to be honest I never paid to much attention to the Japanese porn market as Japanese porn is to funny for me. I mean, you see those ugly Japanese stunt cocks with the most gorgeous Japanese girls in the same bed and instead of getting it on with sensual and erotic fun they make all the time go away by playing with fancy high-tech vibrators and giggling. That's ridiculous! Ever since I got bored with it I lost any interest in JAV.
Now, JP18 is a bit different from the typical giggling and short time sex site. JP18 is the cream of the top of Japanese porn. It's big and it's good as it shows the most beautiful Japanese porn actresses in action in Okinawa. Yes, it's true most of Japanese porn is shot on Okinawa and not in Tokyo as other sites might suggest.

4 Tips To Eyecatching Bookshelves
You just hauled home a couple of the Billy shelves from Ikea and spent a challenging afternoon putting them together. Now what? Load it up with those cartons of books that have been stacked around your apartment for who knows how long, crack open a Stella and call it a day? Maybe. But if you want your bookshelves to be for display and not just for storage (and yes, they can be both), something that forms a pleasing backdrop to your mid-century sofa and glass and chrome coffee table, read on...
- Stop! Before you do anything else, perk up the back of the shelves: Wallpaper, a pop of colour (if you're really bold, you could paint a different colour in each section), fabric, whatever you choose, adding colour here adds depth and visual interest and makes the shelving more than just a holding place.
- Shine a light on it: If your bookshelves will be filled with more than just books, consider adding lights to the tops of some of the shelves. Or you might want to clamp on a lamp; the spot will add a bit of drama.
- Putting the books on the shelves: Duh, just start at the top and work your way across and then down, right? Nope. Try a more seemingly haphazard method that works much better. We like to divide up our books into types (try fiction, non-fiction, reference, biographies, coffee table books, cookbooks for starters) and then give them shelf space according to their use; reference books, often unattractive but useful, find a spot lower down, coffee table books near the center, cookbooks at eye level on the side nearest the kitchen, fiction, usually stuff that's already been read but you can't bear to part with, near the top. Place some books upright, some on their sides and don't stack them so tightly you can't pull them out with one finger and vary the height of your books.
- Now, fill in the blanks: A small painting to fill in a blank spot, your collection of Pez dispensers on another shelf, the lumpy clay bowl your niece made for you on top of a stack of books.

Thank you for not suggesting that the books should be organized by color.
Yes, thank you!
I L-O-V-E, love, the plant stand/shelf in the last picture. Adorable! And I am a fan of organizing books by color, if only in splotches.
Yeah, i completely forgot about books and became riveted with the plant stand.
I know that the design world has re-branded cluttered as "cozy", and that "cozy" is hot right now, but open shelving and bookshelves should really be for display purposes only. The truth is, no one wants to look at your old paperbacks, magazines, dvds and cds. Pay slightly more and put those items behind nice cabinet doors. It keeps the room looking tidy and organized and allows you to keep the visual focus on those objects truly worthy of display.
I'm with hmr on this one. My books are arranged by genre and then author. I like to put my hands on one quickly when I'm want to re-read, refer to it, or loan it out. That way my friends don't have to say, "That's ok, don't go to any more trouble finding it." And my favorite color for a book is GREEN...by borrowing it from the library or buying and selling through a used bookstore.
I'm with you RichardinLA. Put that mess out of sight. Having all of those old books around doesn't make you look intelligent, they make you look messy. The picture above with the chaise is a good example. The bookcase makes the whole vignette look cheap, cluttered, and messy. That's a shame too, there are some nice pieces there.
Edit. When in doubt, toss it out!
As a bibliophile and librarian, I have one suggestion. Put all heavy books on low, preferably bottom, shelves. Over time their weight will make most shelving sag.
Apart from that, do what makes you happy.
people who think books are clutter need to get their heads checked.
Right on, trygve! Books are not items people keep around for how they look. Some of us are actually interested in the words inside.
Out of sight, out of mind, right? Why would I want my books behind closed doors? I'd never be inspired to read/refer to them if I didn't see them. Open shelving is great!
I'm also with trygve, books are not mere ornamentation, they're part of your personality so of course they should be a visible part of your decor
Seems as though there are two sides to this post: first off are the Book Lovers like me, I read my books from cover to cover until they are almost ready to fall apart sometimes and the ones I own are special to me, so I like having them where I can put my hands on them quickly.
Then there's The Other Side who also own books but prefer to have them along with other things hidden from sight to keep things tidy and neat.
There isn't anything wrong with either view, it's just the way people are built.
Plus I'm with the librarian on putting the heavier volumes on the bottom because I learned the hard way that it makes the shelves sag, which is never attractive on a bookshelf or certain other places as well.
@ RichardinLA, I to look at my old paperbacks, dvds and cds, thank you very much - not so much magazines I'll grant you, but I still have some treasured vhs and audio cassettes to fill that gap!
Surely there's no final right or wrong here - if I like to have my books (which are mostly sci-fi, thrillers, horror and chick-lit, so no chance of an accuation of pretentiousness there, methinks) then it's my home, and I will blooming well do so! ;)
If you want to board up all your media, go for it - but (and this is a general comment) I've spent a good few minutes now reading archived posts here on bookshelves, specifically, because I'm rearranging my own, and I really don't get the almost missionary zeal of the minimalists, when it comes to storing books.
And before anyone tries to typecast the kind of people who like to have stuff on display, versous the "purists" note this - exactly half my flat, including my bedroom, is totally minimalist, and I wouldn't have them any other way.
To each their own - our homes are about what makes us feel happy and if that's packratting every last issue of National Enquirer, or living in little more than a stark white cube - go to it, and good luck!

Laura Amiss combines fabrics and illustrations and sells her fun, colorful work on Etsy.com.
Tell us a little about yourself?
"I'm from the North of England, but I've been living in The Netherlands for over eight years. By now I also have a husband and two kids. I graduated in "Textiles" at Goldsmith College at the University of London back in 2003. Nowadays I work from my studio at home, which makes day to day life much easier, but it also makes it harder to know when to quit. I simply adore colors, so there are lots of them in my work. I can try to avoid them, but my favorite colors always keep popping up in my work."
What is it like running an Etsy shop?
"It's been a steep learning curve, trying to get the hang of all the different aspects and categories on Etsy and figuring out how to get your work noticed. I must confess I had no idea at first. Luckily Etsy featured my shop in a few newsletters and some popular blogs featured me as well. By now Etsy has become a big part of my day and I'm just thrilled that people have the guts to buy my work without even knowing what it looks like in reality. I do try to give a good impression of what it looks like by taking good pictures."
We noticed a lot of typically Dutch street scenes in your work. Is that a big part of your success?
"I love that architecture, because it's so completely different from where I grew up. My city views are very popular indeed, skylines lend themselves very easily to making beautiful perspectives and compositions. Other than that I am also a very positive person and the fact that my work is 'happy' is also an important aspect. My work may not be trendy, but but I often hear it makes people happy and that makes me ever so proud."

I always have leftovers (just me) so I have to be clever with disguising them! Saw the potato component and had a piece of fish I needed to cook (Paiche)... I took leftover fish chowder, incorporated the saffron and browned chorizo, and topped with the Paiche. Turned out better than I expected-yum!

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - The Charlotte Museum of History will suspend all operations on Friday because of a lack of funding.
The suspension will affect visits, tours and planned events for the upcoming Democratic National Convention.
Kathy Ridge is the interim director at the Charlotte Museum of History.
"This is a money issue, we need money to help our cash flow right now," said Ridge.
It cost about a million dollars a year to keep the museum running, but for the past three years the museum has been losing money.
Ridge says the museum will use the next few months to reevaluate its services.
She says many people are unaware that the museum exists.
"[We are going to] focus on what can we do to reinvent the museum so that we become an exciting destination that could be supported, " said Ridge.
She says the museum isn't the only one struggling financially, other museums around the country are cutting costs. Ridge believes the interest in museums seems to be fading, but she believes new ideas could draw tourists back to the attraction.
"Maybe this becomes a park ,an art center and a library and a museum , I don't know what it is, but we're wide open to ideas," said Ridge. @

To blog or not to blog; that seems to be the debate going on in many executive offices around the globe. Some of the benefits for CEO blogging range from increased exposure, to branding to the significant ability to speak directly to their audience and stay connected. Recently Exec Digital had the opportunity to speak with Dave Hitz, co-founder of NetApp, the multibillion dollar software company and avid blogger. His company was also named -The Best Company to Work For" according to this month's Fortune magazine. Hitz writes his own blog and is part of the new wave of CEO's who are speaking for themselves on their own sites. I asked Dave Hitz what he felt was vital for a CEO to do when blogging. -I think honesty and sincerity are absolutely critical in blogging." Hitz continued, -If you are going to fake it, don't bother." But many executives rarely have a free moment to blog so Dave suggests being a -guest blogger." In a recent survey, thirty-one percent of CEOs maintain a blog or social network. However marketing Guru Seth Godin has some very specific advice to a would-be CEO Blogger, -Blogs work when they are based on: Candor, Urgency, Timeliness, Pithiness and Controversy…Short and sweet, folks: If you can't be at least four of the five things listed above, please don't bother. People have a choice (4.5 million choices, in fact) and nobody is going to read your blog, link to your blog or quote your blog unless there's something in it for them. Save the fluff for the annual report." The CEO blog debate will continue and during the interim, here's a few of our favorite CEO Bloggers: Dave Hitz of NetApp Jonathan Schwartz, "Jonathan's Blog" — CEO of Sun Microsystems Bill Marriott, "On the Move" — CEO of Marriott International Mike Critelli, "Open Mike" — executive chairman of Pitney Bowes Robert Lutz, "Fast Lane" — GM vice chairman Paul Levy, "Running a Hospital — CEO of Deaconess Beth Israel Hospital (Read the exclusive interview with Dave Hitz in March's Exec Digital)

There is a small but growing band of Arsenal FC supporters living in a San Salvador children's home that have Andrew Astachowicz to thank for their devotion to the North London football club.
"El Salvador is one place where I can pretend to be a football expert," the new recruit at Marriott Harrison admits. "And spread the Arsenal gospel." It is a good job that Astachowicz does not support my home team, Bristol City, as I am sure encouraging children in developing countries to follow the Robins would probably fall foul of the Geneva Convention.
Officially, I am talking to Astachowicz about his move from the Altheimer & Gray London office that he helped found; but while enthusiastic about his new home at Marriott Harrison and his work as a property lawyer, the subject of El Salvador really gets him going.
The connection came through his work with Amnesty International during the country's bloody civil war that raged throughout the 1980s. Eventually he came to a decision with his wife that they could do more, and so they decided to adopt three El Salvadorian children.
"We decided that there was a great need there for that sort of help for children who'd been orphaned, or who had parents in a situation where they were having children but weren't able to form stable relationships because of the man going off to fight," explains Astachowicz.
Without wanting to make him sound like the Mother Teresa of the legal world, Astachowicz continues to support children in San Salvador through raising money for a safe house for street kids in the city, called Amor. Which gives him direct access to young minds ready to receive the Arsenal gospel.
The Astachowicz household is nothing if not international. As his surname suggests, Astachowicz is the son of Polish parents who moved to Yorkshire after World War II. There he became part of a tightly-knit Polish community, which was "like The Deer Hunter but with woollen mills", and only learnt to speak English at school.
"My secretary would complain that I still haven't grasped the finer details of the language," he laughs. He adds that, as part of his Polish community upbringing, he belonged to a Polish scout troop that would go off to Pwllheli on camp every year to sit around a fire singing traditional Polish songs, one of which involved jumping over an imitation axe.
So what did the Welsh make of the troop? "They viewed us as only another sort of culture that is deeply rooted in the rural and drinking culture," is Astachowicz's tongue in cheek reply.
It was Astachowicz's Polish roots that partly contributed to his career move from Eversheds to Altheimer. He was headhunted by Altheimer, which has a large presence in Eastern Europe, after getting to know the Warsaw office of the firm, and his Polish language skills were viewed as highly valuable in what has rapidly become a booming market for Anglo-Saxon lawyers. The work was a long way from the first professional use of his mother tongue, which was used trying to talk drunken Polish sailors out of applying for asylum when they arrived at the London docks. That particular task fell to Astachowicz when he was an articled clerk at what is now Duthie Hart & Duthie, earning overtime by typing out scores of summonses connected to digging for bait without a licence on the banks of the Thames.
Fearing that a move to Warsaw could prove one culture shock too far for his children, Astachowicz opted to stay in London and not follow the trail of lawyers moving over.
His ancestry also helped Astachowicz in his latest career move. He took over the role of secretary of the British-Polish Association from Duncan Innes, a corporate partner at Marriott Harrison, who has been a friend for a long time.
After more than two years at Altheimer, Astachowicz was looking to move on. "The office originally started off with myself and Rob Bata, and has now grown to 45 lawyers and a total staff of around 80-90," he explains. "That aspect of what I'd been asked to do had been completed and I was facing a watershed in what I was going to do next." After setting up the office from scratch, Astachowicz found that his role was increasingly being defined in terms of recruitment, avoiding money laundering and the sorts of things that naturally fall to a partner setting up a new
"Sometimes it's easier to break out and move on to where you're looking at a different role," he says of his decision to leave. By the time he left, he was doing around two-thirds management to one-third fee-earning, and I get the impression that he is eager to start concentrating more on the latter.
The new role at Marriott Harrison should be fairly wide open for Astachowicz. The firm is known traditionally as a media firm but has recently started on a drive to widen the practice into a more general corporate-based one.
Astachowicz will be working with head of property Vivienne Elson to build the department out into the areas that he has experience in, namely the property needs of technology and industrial clients.
And, of course, clients looking into Poland, although Astachowicz says the chances of Marriott Harrison opening a Warsaw office are negligible, partly because the market is now saturated and more importantly because it would be too expensive for the 10-partner firm. But he is confident that he can profit from the second wave of companies entering Poland, which would not feel comfortable instructing one of the legal big boys.
Astachowicz obviously thrives on new challenges and was partly attracted to Marriott Harrison by the prospect of being able to build a fledgling department. "What I've enjoyed over the last three years is the ability to get involved in meeting a completely new set of challenges, which was completely different to what I was doing at Eversheds. The opportunity to set up a completely new office is actually quite rare and my own personal skills set has been very much advanced."
But, at the end of the day, property law is not where Astachowicz's heart is. When switching the conversation into property law, Astachowicz loses some of his spark and almost seems disappointed to have to change the subject.
That is not to say that he is bored by it, just that he seems to work to live, not live to work. His heart is lost to San Salvador, which he says gives him a reason to come into work on a Monday morning.
"One feels privileged to be a lawyer and earn a very good living when you go to these places and see the reality of people's lives," he says.
He finishes by asking whether he can plug the charity, which those of you reading closely will notice I have already done.

Johnny Depp Gets Rum-Soaked
Into everyone's life a little rain must fall. Even a guy who makes $55 million a movie.
Johnny Depp took a time-out from filming The Rum Diary is San Juan, Puerto Rico on Thursday as a downpour soaked everything in sight.
Oh, well; the guy can probably afford to dry himself off with $1,000 bills, so he can't be too broken up about it.
In The Rum Diary, a film adaptation of journalist Hunter S. Thompson's first novel, Depp stars as Thompson's literary alter-ego Paul Kemp. The cast also includes Dark Knight baddie Aaron Eckhart, Giovanni Ribisi and Amber Heard. The film is expected to hit theaters in 2010.

Konami President Asked Kojima To Make The Next Silent Hill
Posted on Thursday, September 27 @ 09:39:55 Eastern by Nicholas Tan
During a developer session at the Eurogamer Expo, Hideo Kojima revealed that Konami has wanted him to stretch his talented hands to other Konami franchises (even though they always pull him back into Metal Gear); in particular, Silent Hill, which Hideo Kojima said on Twitter in mid-August the following statement translated into English:
Apparently, the president of Konami thought this was a good idea too, as Kojima said during the session:
The Fox Engine already looks incredible in Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes so having it adapted to fit the eerie atmosphere of Silent Hill would already be a dream. But Silent Hill fans have wanted to get excited about the series for a long time, and perhaps a reboot by Kojima-san would be Konami's best bet.

Despite the significant role of recreational fishing activity in shaping biological, economic and social outcomes in many wild catch fisheries, relatively little is known about the key economic, social, cultural and psychological drivers of recreational fisher behaviour or of the link between recreational fishing activity and welfare. Increasing pressure on fish resources caused by ongoing climate-induced changes will heighten the tension between commercial, conservation and recreational sectors, further highlighting the importance of transparent and parsimonious resource allocation processes, and of the need for a sound understanding of the economic behaviour of recreational fishers. This project will contribute to the research agenda in this area through the exploration of recreational fisher choice and welfare. The research will involve a strong case study component, requiring the development and implementation of surveys, and econometric modeling.
This research project is part of the FRDC Building Capability in Fisheries Economics Graduate Research Training program. Candidates enrolled under this initiative will have access to a broad range of internationally recognized fisheries economics expertise and to specialized fisheries economics courses. Prospective candidates may submit alternative research proposals. Approved research projects must fall within one of the FRDC Graduate Research Training Themes and be approved by the Steering Committee.

Yesterday and today have been so productive. I turned in my application for the apartment in the morning, got a call around noon saying I was approved, and went in and signed my contract by 3. I moved my stuff out of my dorm yesterday night, got drunk in the hotel with my future stepmom, put my stuff in storage this morning, shopped with dad and Donna, showed them my sorority house, and now we are leaving Eugene and headed back to cali.
I really like this guy. I'd give up all the dudes for him. He doesn't want a girlfriend though, (even though he says we can hang out, go to dinner, and do everything bfs/gfs do -___-). This is totally what I get because I did this to guys a lot once upon a time. I need to just stick with the good guys I have at home who actually want to be with me long term. Chilling with this guy is so fun though and he has the prettiest blue eyes ughh
My roomie is supposedly moving out tomorrow night to live with her sorority sister. Party in my dorm room :)
When you go by the frat house you did the walk of shame from last weekend
The day after hooking up with your ex after you swore you wouldn't
But then again he only wants to play boyfriend when it is convenient for him. I want to get back to California so we can figure things out and I can get focused on being in a relationship. College has made me forget about some important things and people.
The guys in my dorm keep making fun of me about how much of a tease I am. I don't mean to do it. I was telling them about how I actually sleep when I tell guys I want to have a sleepover. Then tonight, I was dancing with (well the guys in my dorm said I was grinding on) this guy all night and he told me I could go back to his dorm after if I wanted. At the end of the night I told him I was leaving because some of my friends were super drunk (I didn't drink at all) and I said he could come back and chill at my dorm for a little bit. I'm pretty sure he was expecting more, but I made sure to stay busy and have everyone cockblock. I have the dorm room to myself for the night because my roommate is staying in her parents' hotel room. The guys all called me a prude for not doing anything with him, but I don't care. I have a boyfriend at home and I'm not doing anything with some guy just because we danced on each other for awhile. I feel bad that he walked me back to my dorm and didn't get anything he wanted, but at the same time a real gentlemen shouldn't expect something in return. I had a fun night and I also found out the guy is in my huge business class.
I'm so sick right now and taking five different pills a day (two twice a day) sucks so much. I can't wait to feel better. I wish I could just stay in bed for a few days, but I have midterms in my international studies and business classes. I probably shouldn't have went to all those parties last week and I should probably skip the parties this weekend. I'm probably still going to the ones this weekend though x)
I drank a little and transformed into a slut basically tonight. This is the third time I've tried drinking and I really don't think I'm going to do it anymore because I only drink a few sips and feel like throwing up and get dizzy af. Tonight I was dizzy, felt sick, and wanted to touch this dude. My friend Jack said, "once you two started hugging and touching, I didn't see you two separate the whole night." I feel like throwing up right now. He was a nice frat guy though and stopped whenever I told him to.
Last night was crazy af. We walked super far to hang out with these sophomores and had a pretty good time. My frustration is at an all time high, but I'm trying not to think about it.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Monday, November 26, 2012
Sources tell KAKE news Alex East was voted off the board amid allegations that money was missing from the nonprofit group. East was only 17 when he started the organization to raise funds to bring Joyland back to life.
The high school junior said it was his dream to restore the old park. He recruited help, collecting thousands of dollars at local fundraising events over the last few years.
But KAKE News has learned, East is no longer involved in Restore Hope - The Joyland Restoration Project.
"Stunned. He seemed to be the person who spearheaded the campaign," said Wichita City Council Member James Clendenin. "I've met with him several times. He's been very passionate about this. It's a little stunning to find that out."
Documents from the Kansas Secretary of State's Office show East was removed as president of the board of directors on October 15th. Sources tell KAKE News there are now questions regarding the whereabouts of the money raised for Joyland.
"People have given to Restore Hope with a passion, with hope that this part of history would be restored back," said Clendenin.
Clendenin has been a big supporter of bringing back Joyland. He met with a Joyland Restoration board member Monday afternoon.
Clendenin says the member wasn't specific, but he did tell him all the money has been returned. Current board president Kira Johnson tells KAKE News by phone that Alex East is no longer involved in Joyland. She says he decided it was a big project and he rolled it over to the board.
She also said, "There is no money missing, and that everything is accounted for."
Johnson also told KAKE News there are more restrictions on the non profit's bank account now. Two people have to sign off on checks. She would not say why the change was made. East did not return our repeated calls.

6. Friday Night Lights:
When Lost ended, I assumed the hole it left in my heart wouldn't be filled. But as 2011 progressed, I found myself surprisingly OK with its conclusion and its departure from my life. Friday Night Lights has been over (the first time) for something like 10 months. I'm still not over it. I watched the final season four times this year (DirecTV by myself, NBC with my parents, DVD with the girlfriend and another for good measure) and just thinking about those final episodes swells my heart on cue. For as great as something like Lost is, there's just no way to totally quantify how deeply connected we can feel to certain characters, worlds and stories and that's where Friday Night Lights is for me. More to the point, the final season of FNL nicely and unsurprisingly balanced new character stories and familiar character stories and managed to bring everyone who mattered to a fine concluding point. The Lions' journey to state was the most fulfilling in the series' run and by the end of it, Vince, Luke and Tinker felt just as fully-formed and important to me as Matt, Riggins and Street. And finally, Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton. I don't need to say anything else. You know.
Best episodes: "Always," "Don't Go," "Texas Whatever"

Augustine Cantu Jimenez was found guilty of murdering Charles Darrell McKenzie in November of 2012 on Wednesday afternoon.
The murder trial began Tuesday and the guilty verdict came down just a day after the trial began. The jury sentenced Jimenez to life in prison less than a day after they began deliberating.
Jimenez stabbed McKenzie multiple times during a fight outside of Doc's Steakhouse and saloon in McGregor.

Convenience as often the root of any good product. For example, almost 3 years ago we got word of a measuring cup that took out the guess work and could automatically display the displacement on digital display embedded in the handle. While the Digital Mixing Bowl & Kitchen Scale from Firebox isn't nearly as "wow" worthy, it most certainly plays compliment to the aforementioned product.
The design is dead simple. A plastic mixing box slides into an accompanying scale, while an easy to read LCD screen – which is powered by two AAA batteries – shows off the content's weight in as little as 1g graduations. Once the 2.5 liter mixing bowl is emptied of your sticky concoction, you just detach it from the scale and toss it into the dishwasher.

OGAMA and Haytham
If you need a software for analysing eye and mouse movements check out the OGAMA. The new version works with the Haytham gaze tracker.
If you need a software for analysing eye and mouse movements check out the OGAMA. The new version works with the Haytham gaze tracker.
A small update for the Haytham_Oculus code. Now you can get the data from the sensors of the oculus rift as well.
source code: http://goo.gl/EMqdS0
Recently we have been playing around with the oculus rift and the Haytham gaze tracker. The idea was to some how simulate a see through HMD and combining it with the haytham gaze tracker. The only thing we did was to display the scene image on the rift screen and attaching a eye camera to the head gear. The user will see his front view through the rift and we do the gaze estimation inside that image. We decided to share the code here so that other people that are interested in combining gaze tracking in the rift can use the code. In fact we didn't spend too much time on it and we just wanted to make something that works on C#. We used the openCV for doing the barrel distortion and showing the stereo images but it was very slow. So we ended up using the OculusArDroneKinect project developed by Alessandro Colla which is using a simple pixel shader in XNA for rendering the views. Check out this interesting project that uses Oculus Rift and a Kinect to drive a Parrot Ar.Drone! Anyway, we modified parts of his code so that we could use in our prototype. Instead of making a client for the rift that connects to the haytham_server, all the changes are directly done in the server side. There is no stereo camera and we only attached a webcam to the rift for both left and right views.
An infrared wireless camera (from http://www.3rdee.com) is used for capturing the eye. You might need to cut and remove a small piece of plastic of the headset to make some room for the camera. I use an tick aluminium wire for mounting the eye camera as below:
In the video below you see the pupil tracking in the eye image captured by this camera. In fact the camera is fixed very close to the eye but still the image is not bad. Glint detection was not active in the video therefore gaze tracking was very sensitive to the movements of the headset (the reason was that we didn't have time to attach a light source next to the camera and remove the built-in LEDs!)
After attaching the eye camera next to the eye and the front view camera in from of the headset you are ready to use the system. Download the source code from Here (if you are interested in improving the code make a branch of the Haytham project in svn!). You also need to install the XNA framework from <https://msxna.codeplex.com/releases>. After running the program start the eye and the scene cameras. If you want to try the system on your eyes you need someone else to help you adjusting the eye tracking sliders and calibrating the gaze tracker. Remember to connect the oculus to your computer (since we are not gonna use the sensors of the rift only connecting the VGA is sufficient) and make sure that the oculus is being detected as the second monitor of the system. You need to extend the main screen of you computer to the secondary monitor (oculus) inside Windows. You can see a button called Oculus at the top/right of the main window of the Haytham which is for showing the eye or scene image (you can choose which one) on the oculus. There is also a slider next to this button that allows you to change the disparity. Below you can see the front view image with gaze tracking inside the image shown on oculus rift:

Integrate Déjà Dup with Dolphin
Productivity Sauce
If you happen to use the excellent Déjà Dup backup tool on KDE, you'll appreciate a simple hack by Pascal d'Hermilly that integrates the utility into the Dolphin file manager. Using a simple technique, you can add two commands to the Actions context menu which can be used to revert a specific file to an earlier version and restore missing files in a directory. To add the latter command, create the dejadup_restore_missing.desktop file in the ~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus directory (if the ServiceMenus folder doesn't exist, add it manually). Open the file in a text editor and add the following service menu definition to it:
[Desktop Entry] Type=Service ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin MimeType=inode/directory Actions=DejaDupRestoreMissingFiles [Desktop Action DejaDupRestoreMissingFiles] Name=Restore missing files Icon=edit-find Exec=deja-dup --restore-missing "%U"
To add the command that reverts the currently selected file to a previous version, create the ~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/dejadup_revert.desktop file with the following service menu definition:
[Desktop Entry] Type=Service ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin MimeType=application/octet-stream Actions=DejaDupRestoreFile [Desktop Action DejaDupRestoreFile] Name=Revert to previous version Exec=deja-dup --restore "%U"
Restart Dolphin, right-click on a file, select the Actions menu from the context menu, and you should see the newly-added Restore missing files and Revert to previous version commands.comments powered by Disqus

Three girls and their token male friend are young, directionless, and bored. They're the voice of a generation!
RILEY - Riley Rose Critchlow
Riley is not the type of glamorous lesbian you'd find on The L Word. A supportive friend to her only friends, she flies by the seat of her ripped pants. Content with her life and always up for an adventure, she spends her time dumpster diving and frequenting yard sales.
TOM - Thom Shelton
When Tom met Kate, they dated briefly before deciding they had zero chemistry. Now Tom makes up the male contingent in his all-female friend group and he's just fine with that, thank you. He maintains that dudes are boring to hang out with, even though the girls mainly ignore him.
KATE - Kate Heckman
Living in the same neighborhood she grew up in, Kate is an only child and hates most people, including her friends. Even though she's secretly attention starved, she's too lazy to meet new people and has grown complacent with her small uninspired life. She also hates swimming.
SARAH - Sarah Erin Roach
Hailing from the vague region known as New England, Sarah is a positive happy flirt who tries to project her outlooks onto the people around her in a desperate attempt to fill the negative and painful void left by her deceased abusive alcoholic father. She considers herself an expert at most things and has a weakness for older men in uniforms.

A police chase late Wednesday afternoon has ended in an arrest.
Now, a wanted man is behind bars. Police say that chase began as a vehicle pursuit and ended with a K-9 unit finding the suspect hiding in a basement. It all started around 3:15 p.m.
The chase culminated near the 1600 block of Meridian Street in the Belmont neighborhood, and about an hour later ended in an arrest.
Police say Marcell Turner is now in custody. He was wanted on a number of outstanding warrants mainly for drugs. Now, he's likely to face even more charges for Wednesday's events."I was sitting there and I seen a black car came flying down the alley and it almost ran me over," said Greg Gentry, a witness.
Charlottesville police say it all started as a car chase. Investigators say Turner was behind the wheel and rammed two unmarked police cars during the chase.
One officer was injured and taken to the University of Virginia Medical Center with minor injuries.
Meridian Street is where police say the pursuit continued on foot.
"A short pursuit ended where the subject jumped out of the vehicle in the 1600 block of Meridian and the vehicle continued and came to a rest off the roadway. He was later taken into custody at 4:10 p.m. for a number of charges that related to some drug outstanding warrants," said Lt. Ronnie Roberts, Charlottesville police spokesperson.
Police say a K-9 unit found Turner hiding in an unlocked basement apartment.
Turner is now being held at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.
Police say he could face several felonies, including malicious wounding.
