The horrified response to the Japanese specification Ducati 1199 when it was unveiled in 2012 has prompted this revised exhaust system, spotted by a spy photographer at the Ducati test track last week. The noise regulations in Japan are so strict that the 1199 was unable to pass without a massive carbon-fibre end can and modified crankcase with a noise-supressing ...

I visited one of your ride out cafes that is recommended in MCN on my new Panigale. Well worth the ride. The Revved Up tea bar, Walton-on-Naze. I only had a £20 note and they had no change so just gave me the coffee for nothing. Excellent place.

WWE has started teasing the upcoming release of the Paul Heyman DVD, which will be called The Paul Heyman story. The company plans on making the documentary of the former ECW owner available to the public some time in August of this year.
WWE has contacted Jim Ross for some work. The longtime commentator is being brought back into the fold to help out with the upcoming Paul Heyman DVD being produced. The belief is that he will be telling some stories on the former ECW owner.
All signs are pointing to WWE working on a brand new Ultimate Warrior DVD, one that will not mock him like the previous one. There are talks that it will be released around Wrestlemania time to coincide with a possible induction ceremony.
With the former UFC star looking forward to his next match in Bellator, there seems to be very little to no talk about Rampage Jackson being brought back to TNA any time soon. He might still make a promotional appearance, but he will not be wrestling.
Dixie Carter congratulated Rampage Jackson on Twitter. The former UFC champion was successful in his Bellator MMA debut.
Former UFC star and occasional TNA star Rampage Jackson defeated Joey Beltran in his Bellator debut. He won via knockout in the final minute of the first round.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I died today. You got tired of me and took me to the shelter. They were overcrowded and I drew an unlucky number. I am in a black plastic bag in a landfill now. Some other puppy will get the barely used leash you left. My collar was dirty and too small, but the lady took it off before she sent me to the Rainbow Bridge .
Would I still be at home if I hadn't chewed your shoe? I didn't know what it was, but it was leather, and it was on the floor. I was just playing. You forgot to get puppy toys.
Would I still be at home if I had been housebroken? Rubbing my nose in what I did only made me ashamed that I had to go at all. There are books and obedience teachers that would have taught you how to teach me to go to the door.
Would I still be at home if I hadn't brought fleas into the house? Without anti-flea medicine, I couldn't get them off of me after you left me in the yard for days.
Would I still be at home if I hadn't barked? I was only saying, "I'm scared, I'm lonely, I'm here, I'm here! I want to be your best friend."
Would I still be at home if I had made you happy? Hitting me didn't make me learn how.
Would I still be at home if you had taken the time to care for me and to teach manners to me? You didn't pay attention to me after the first week or so, but I spent all my time waiting for you to love me.
I died today.
Love, Your Puppy
I just died a little inside :( this is awful :'( </3

Can I Cook with My Decorative Pumpkins?
Good Questions
Q: I bought two small pumpkins (about 4 pounds each) back in October. I don't want to just throw them away, but I'm unclear on whether I can cook with them. Some places I've read say you can but they aren't as flavorful, and other places say just don't do it. What should I do?
Sent by Randi
Editor: Readers, do any of you have experience with cooking your pumpkins after they've outlived their decorative purposes?

I do it every year... my carved pumpkins stay on display only 1-2 days at most. After that I roast them in chunks in the oven, peel off skin and grind them in my food processor, store in ziplocs in the freezer and cook soups/pies with it. They taste like every other squash.
In my experience it's not worth the trouble. Those decorative pumpkins weren't grown with consumption in mind, so they're very bland and starchy. It's nice that you want to re-purpose them; have you considered painting them for your holiday table scape or gutting & carving them to use as candle holders or flower vases? I bet Martha Stewart is full of ideas.
If they're small, there is a chance that they are sugar pumpkins. It wouldn't hurt to cut them open and take a look inside. If they're not too stringy, go ahead and cook them as recommended by Bilbo Douchebaggins.
Do a Google Image Search for "sugar pumpkin" to get an idea of what they might look like compared to a carving pumpkin.
I came up against the same dilemma the other week and I went ahead and cooked them. The larger pumpkins had a more floral fragrance than sugar pumpkins as they cooked, but the puree was moist and had a great color and texture. I squeezed out the excess water and turned them into some olive oil pumpkin bread using the crisper whisperer recipe, but I switched the cloves for cardamon, and it was stellar: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2009/10/the-crisper-whisperer-olive-oil-pumpkin-bread.html?source=thekitchn
And I even had a little over a cup left to make some pumpkin and greens mac and cheese for a holiday party! Which was also a hit!
Do it!!! Cook them!!!
I tried to cook 2 of mine after about 10 days and I ended up throwing it all away. Like HeyYo said, the texture was strange & they had no flavor. Guess you have to cook it to see what happens.
At what temperature did they sit? If they've been baking in the warmth that means bacteria could have seeped in. If it's cold and within the expiration date of a pumpkin (and it's not a refrigerated only item), it's could be okay. If you're looking to be less wasteful a compost pile or bin is great. Stuff like this can always be made into soil for next year's pumpkins. :D
A tip: DO NOT steam them -- roast them, instead. They'll pick up even more of the abundant moisture they already have and you'll have a soupy mess.
Another year, buy culinary pumpkins for your decor. Then you'll be sure they serve two purposes well!
Depends on what kind of pumpkin it is. Mine were a bit darker and rougher skinned than usual. The owner of the pumpkin stand told me to knock off the stems and roast them. No cutting necessary at this stage. I ***think*** I roasted them at 350* for 50 minutes. The skin peeled off nicely after that. The pies had a slightly stronger and better flavor than - pardon me - canned pumpkin. Also made good soup with them that tasted about the same as when I used a butternut squash.
Any pumpkin can be cooked, the bigger ones are just not as flavorful. However, they make terrific edible vessels for all kinds of stuff and when you eat whatever is inside them, you can get chunks of pumpkin in it.
For instance, I always do my Thanksgiving stuffing in a pumpkin (it gives me the option to make a vegan stuffing if I have guests with that inclination.) There is also a famous Argentine stew, Carbonada Criolla, that is served in a baked large pumpkin (don't try to cook it in the pumpkin no matter what the legends say - it will fall apart...and serve it inside a container that can hold the stew if it does fall apart.)
In both situations, the filling is flavorful enough that the pumpkin takes it on, and the slight flavor of pumpkin enhances the filling.
You CAN cook with them, but they just don't provide as much flesh or flavor as a normal pie pumpkin would.
I have used mine to cook baked mac 'n cheese in. It adds a little pumpkin flavor to things, and makes for a playful, fun presentation. I pre-roasted the whole pumpkin a little bit first, since it needed longer than the mac 'n cheese to cook.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway officials say they're working on ways to make sure fans for this weekend's Brickyard 400 don't face the same long security lines that frustrated many people at the Indianapolis 500 in May.
Heavier security was imposed after the Boston Marathon bombings.
At the Indy 500 many fans stood in security lines for two hours and some were turned away due to the size of their coolers.
Officials say that crowds for the Brickyard 400 should be smaller and fans will have more time to get inside with a later race starting time.

"I think you were on a date with him yesterday."
+++Ryan's POV+++
I'm sitting on my couch trying to decipher the new adjustments in my life. Especially the one about…
So, I have a sister. Greeeeaaat.
"Look, Ry, she's not bad. In fact, you're pretty lucky she's your sister instead of some bratty baby bitch," Spencer said while he raided my fridge.
How does he always know what I'm thinking?! I guess he knows me that well.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," I respond lazily.
"Aren't I always?"
I roll my eyes while offering him a sarcastic smile. "We're really late. Let's go meet Brendon before he thinks we've died. I don't need any more issues."
"Hah! Sad part is: I think Brendon would actually think that."
Spencer and I share a moment of laughter before heading out the front door and into my car. After settling into the car, we're off to meet Brendon at the Fashion Show Mall.
~~~Reader's POV~~~
It's late afternoon and the Gale residence is calm in every corner—except Amanda's room.
"I think you were on a date with him yesterday," Sharon Gale argued against Amanda.
Sharon is Amanda's step-sister, who is about the same age as she is. The previous day, Sharon noticed Amanda's long absence and—of course—went off and started drama with Amanda as soon as she got home this afternoon. It's practically a routine by now.
"SHARON, tell me, why would I go on a date with Jason? I hardly know the guy. Also, it's not like I ever had a chance alone with him since I'm home almost twenty-four/seven."
"But you weren't home yesterday, were you?"
Amanda sighed while she spun around in her chair, rested her elbows on her desk, and massaged her temples.
"Were you?!" Sharon repeated.
"No, I wasn't, but why would I spend any time I have outside this hell hole with Jason?" Amanda retorted.
"Look, skank, just stay away from him. He's mine."
Amanda eyed Sharon from head to toe: medium-length honey-blond wavy hair (which was lightly teased), torn up black midriff with hot pink lipstick mark prints, dark blue jean skirt that's so short there's almost no point to wearing it, and silver strappy (way too) high heels. Not to mention the x-number of jewelry—including the navel piercing neither mom nor Matthew knew about.
"Between the both of us, I'm the skank?" Amanda shot back with a fiery attitude.
Sharon rolled her eyes and strutted out of Amanda's room. She does it everyday: meets her friends at God knows where doing God knows what, wearing what God forbids, and gets home just in time for the "parentals" to be fooled once again into thinking she's merely an angel.
But Amanda didn't give a shit. Not today.
What Sharon doesn't know is that Amanda came home for one reason alone: to pack. She'll be staying with Ryan until the boys' break is over—which is long enough for Amanda to once again grasp sanity. Amanda grabbed her packed duffle bag from under her bed as soon as Sharon left and headed toward Ryan's on her purple cruiser.
Biking to Ryan's was a little bit of a tiring journey but for Amanda, it was all worth it. When she got there, the driveway was empty. She checked her cell phone for the time, but she arrived with just the perfect timing. She decided to wait a while.
After about ten minutes, she called Ryan, who told her they'll be there soon. When she ended her call with Ryan, a teen boy skateboarded past Ryan's house and into a driveway a couple of houses down.
He had light brown hair, long enough to cover his ears, along with a beanie over his head. His height was the height of the average teenager. As he was walking up the driveway, he caught Amanda watching him and waved with an adorable smile on his lips. Amanda blushed, thanked God he wasn't close enough to notice, and waved back.
Suddenly, her attention was turned to Ryan's car pulling up the driveway.
A/N: i found free time! yay! i know its been furreverrr and im sorry. also, i apologize if the chapter's short. forgive me. im jus happy i even made the update lol. review if you please!

Only have Tiger here, have seen Leopard on a few torrent sites though, should be ok if using own serial?
We have Leopard server and our disc has been damaged. I have contact the company we purchased the software from and they cant sell us another set of media without a licence. I have tried apple but cant seem to find anything.
I was wondering if someone would be willing send me a copy of just the media. We will be using our own licence key all we require is the media.
Thank you
PS: Will pay for postage or if you could upload an ISO to a webserver that would be great
Last edited by FN-GM; 12th August 2008 at 09:49 AM.

We always take copies of original media and only use the copy just incase.
That being said, we don't have a MacOSX Server, sorry.
Claim it as DOA if you only had it a day or so.
Well personally i would but the senior tech is honest. Plus the account manager from people who we bought it from know we broke it.
If someone could help please
Fn if you can wait till monday when im back at work i should be able to help here .

Keeping our community safe may sometimes mean using a special team of Officers to defuse or resolve a situation. The Washington County SWAT Team does just that with specialized equipment, weapons and tactics.
The Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) is a specialized team comprised of Sheriff's Deputies and a Hartford Police Department Officer, all of whom operate under the command of the Sheriff. The team was started in 1990 with the main goal of maintaining a high level of preparedness and tactical proficiency to successfully resolve any high risk situation with the utmost regard for the preservation of the lives of all persons involved. The Sheriffs Office will utilize SWAT to respond to situations in which serious injury or death could be imminent, and where the use of a specially trained tactical team could neutralize the effects of any person(s) actually or potentially threatening the safety of the public. Some of these incidents include:
SWAT may also be utilized as a support response to other police agencies requesting assistance in circumstances similar to the above or as deemed appropriate by the Sheriff. We have assisted other agencies including: Germantown Police, West Bend Police, Hartford Police, Slinger Police, Jackson Police, and the Dodge and Ozaukee County Sheriff's Departments.

Thought PCs were in the toilet? They're STILL eating Apple's lunch
Apple is losing ground to rival PC manufacturers as shipments plummet in the key US market, according to a report from IDC. The fruity firm's share of the US PC market slipped from 10.9 per cent last year to 10 per cent in the second quarter of 2014, while its year-on-year growth shrank by 1.7 per cent. These dismal figures …
Apple did poorly against Lenovo because Lenovo did spectacularly. Nevertheless, Apple saw growth while the market as a whole declined?
Of course, I wouldn't exactly have described the PC market as "Apple's lunch" in the first place. Compared to shipments of other types of device and of other suppliers I'd have called it maybe "that small snack somewhere around 4PM that Apple eats a very small piece of".
Re: So...
If you consider going from 10.9% to 10% growth, then yes, Apple grew.
Re: So...
To be fair, most people who can count to 20 without taking off their socks would consider it growth.
Re: So... (@David Webb)
The article claims that Apple's "year-on-year growth shrank by 1.7 per cent.". You can't turn a positive into a negative by shrinking by a percentage. You can negate it but you can't negative it. Therefore Apple continued to grow.
It subsequently claims that "Worldwide PC [saw] a year-on-year decline of 1.7 per cent." which appears to state that the market as a whole declined.
Given that Apple's relative share within the US declined, as you observe, and assuming El Reg has subedited properly, I guess what we have to conclude is:
• Apple grew;
• the US market grew more quickly;
• the worldwide market declined.
The real absurdity is that an article that should be about Lenovo's incredible growth seems to want to focus on a point here or there for the fourth-place supplier.
Re: So... (@David Webb)
No, they shrunk.
Mac sales in ~2013 were 1.7m units, Mac sales in ~2014 were 1.6m units, a "growth" of -1.3%
The research firm corroborated IDC's report by noting Apple as the only top-five PC maker to post negative growth year-over-year, dipping 1.3 percent from 2013.
So my original statement is correct, Apple shrunk, the number of units shifted is down, whilst everyone else is up.
No mystery here, £500 is the new sweet spot, and both HP and Lenovo offer nice kit at that point.
£500 quid AND running "Fallout, New Vegas"!
And most people at work still need a PC and need to run SAP, Dynaics, JD Edwards etc. plus MS Office.
That means that Windows is the obvious choice, the Mac is more expensive, and you still need to buy a Windows licence on top of that...
New startups and media type businesses might be more flexible, but traditional business is stuck with what runs their business critical process software.
Sweet indeed!
Do they make any money from those sales?
And most people at work still need a PC and need to run SAP, Dynaics, JD Edwards etc. plus MS Office.
"most people at work" need to run SAP, etc? Across all industries? Not in my experience. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that the majority of business-owned PCs are not running SAP, or most of the other packages you listed. MS Office, yes, probably, because the damn thing is nearly unavoidable.
How do Apple rank in terms of PC-based profits? I'm guessing that is a more useful measure if you are a shareholder.
Re: Profits?
> if you are a shareholder.
Who cares about the 1%?
Re: Profits?
Indeed, if the comparison was by revenue, let alone profit, Apple would fare much better. Even seeing double digits is good for them considering they were down below 5% in the US at their bottom a decade ago.
PCs are a small part of their overall profit anyway, the iPhone alone accounts for roughly half of Apple's profit.
Re: Profits?
Apple's profits are likely still the best or second best in the industry but this survey is about what consumers are buying, not about whether any particular company is about to have to shutter up. So it's useful to people like software companies. Even if Apple were more profitable than every other manufacturer added together, if they had only 0.1% market share then where would you focus your development resources?
Re: Profits?
fair point. market share is not everything.
i still think the herds are growing bored of apple's shiny offerings though.
Re: Profits?
Haven't apple been cutting prices whilst others have been moving to expensive ultra books for the high end? It's direction rather than absolute numbers that shareholders care about and I'd guess the direction favours PC makers.
"herds are growing tired of Apple"
Ah, the siren call of the Apple hater. They incorrectly believe that people buy Apple's stuff because of "marketing" or because of "shiny" of because of "sheeple" and think that they're soon going to wise up and realize Apple sucks and go with Microsoft/Linux/Android.
These people have been wrong for years, and will continue to be wrong, because they haven't any clue whatsoever why Apple is successful. Anyone who believes that people who make a choice different than theirs are wrong is wrong themselves. There is not a "right" choice for what PC/laptop to buy or what smartphone/tablet to buy. Once the haters realize that they might quit their wishful thinking that Apple is going to crater in the near future because the sheeple are about to wake up and think like they do...

That's because
Macs never really escaped from the desks of graphic designers or others chained to Adobe products, only the media wonks and Nathan Barleys of this world want to pay that much over the odds for what is now basically completely generic X86 PC hardware in a fancy box with a massive premium on the price.
Re: That's because
Yay, speak for everyone, lurker, why not.
My wife has one (regular bod). My next-door-neighbour has one (football coach). I have one (loathe Adobe). My friend who owns a sandwich and kebab stall has one. My friend who is a vet has one.
I also have a PC at work. Hate it.
Re: That's because
Yeah its not just graphic designers that are stupid enough to pay over the odds for a disposable computer, football coaches do too!
Re: That's because
Macs are nice enough kit (I have one at work) - but - the games I like to play are never available on Mac, the electronics design software and CAD in general (Altium Designer, Solidworks e.t.c.) we use does not exist on Mac. So we have complementary windows boxes too.
I also think that Mac feels a lot like Linux - everything works with everything Mac'ish - but with slight inconsistencies that are OK to have for free software, not in a product priced at 4 digits. I think people love the design.

I have used Logic for my hobby (recording music) for around 15 years. It only runs under OSX.
A few years ago my old Macbook was starting to feel the strain so I Hackintoshed a Dell PC and managed to get Logic running on it. I was quite pleased with myself as it took me weeks to get it working properly.
The set up worked reasonably well until about a month later when I stupidly accepted an automatic software update. This completely bolloxed the Mac side of the machine and after a few fruitless nights trying to get it back I spat the dummy, gave up and bought another Apple laptop.
Not only did Logic run much more smoothly on Apple kit but I realised that what little I have left of life is too short to be wasting by either (a) spending months poncing about with a lot of frustrating Hackintosh kiech, or (b) the several years I'd have to invest learning another bit of audio software as well as I know Logic.
So, I'll probably continue on my current path of renewing my Apple computer once every 3-4 years, financed in part by the healthy resale value of my existing kit - something I've never been able to say about any "generic X86 PC hardware" I've tried to sell.
Re: That's because
If specialist software locks you into expensive hardware that's unfortunate, but those of us free to choose can get like-for-like performance for less than the cost of the depreciation in an apple machine. Your "high resale value" blinds you to the false economy.
Re: That's because
I wanted an Asus or a Sony but the Macbook Air was cheaper, so I got the Mac :)
Re: That's because
I have 5, but there again I don't play games, games are for children
Re: That's because
I don't know anyone who has an apple computer - does that balance?
Re: That's because
They're very popular in US academia, particularly in the humanities. I've avoided them myself, because I hate Apple's OSes (dealing with OS X via bash or ksh is bearable, but it's still inconvenient at best, since all the applications are GUI), but most of the academics I know have Macs.
Re: That's because
Sorry irongut, Mac's tend to live a longer life than PC's that get replaced every couple of years (maybe they go longer now since XP isn't an option for new models).
If you think that only stupid people buy a Mac, the next time you see a program on NASA, check out what the prevalent brand of laptop is around the conference tables. Yep, they're predominately Mac's.
Re: That's because
Altium and Solidworks both work ok under VMware Fusion on a Mac Pro, but if you are using them all of the time, a PC (win7) custom built for SW is the way to go. At my last job I had both a Mac and a PC for SW and Eagle. The PC was not allowed on the internet and stayed and clean the whole 3 years I was there. For all of my other work, I much preferred my Mac.
I had SW on VMware on the Mac so I could grab stuff from Content Central. I was laughed at for being paranoid at first, but that faded as everybody else spent far more time than I did on bug hunts.
Re: That's because
You are aware that you can run other OSes on your Mac aren't you? In fact, Linux has saved my ass in recovering the Mac on more than one occasion - got to love that flexibility :)
Lenovo, no thanks.
I guess some of the IBM magic rubbed off on Lenovo, so I was unpleasantly surprised opening a four or five year old Lenovo desktop to see bulging capacitors like I've seen on "lesser" brand computers which were older.
Astonished this problem has gone on for so long.
Replaced the Lenovo with an Asus.
Not at all surprising really. The initial rush of mobile devices is fading and people are coming to realize that they have to actually get some work done and a desktop computer is much better for that 90% of the time.
Yes, the desktop computer market will shrink a bit. No, the desktop computer market won't vanish any time soon.
XP replacements
<<<Not at all surprising really. The initial rush of mobile devices is fading and people are coming to realize that they have to actually get some work done and a desktop computer is much better for that 90% of the time.>>>
Now that XP is EOLed, a good portion of new PC sales are for replacement of old XP kit.
Legacy Windows Desktop PC under threat
At work we dock our Windows laptops into a docking station to get a decent mouse, keyboard and screen, and a power supply for the short-lived battery, on health and safety grounds.
However, I could do the same with my smartphone instead, and throw away my laptop.
In the short term I would use a Citrix session delivered to the attached screen to get the legacy Windows applications. In the longer term, I could run a full size browser to access the Cloud applications that will gradually replace them.
Then I can carry my 4oz PC in my pocket and use it as a smartphone when away from my desk, but use it as my mouse, keyboard and screen "PC" when docked at my desk to run my desktop applications on a large screen.
Most line of business apps will run happily through a browser today anyway, even though they are not yet Cloud-based. As as applications migrate to the Cloud, this will make the phone plus docking station plus browser the standard way to access all desktop applications that need mouse keyboard and screen. So the Windows desktop market does have a big threat hanging over it, and contrary to your rather old fashioned view, it may start a rapid decline within the next 36 months.
Peak Windows PC sales were 2011 when they averaged 90 million a quarter.
The quarterly PC sales mentioned in the article were 74 million, but 4 million of those were Apple Macs, and some were Chromebooks, so the Windows PC sales would be around 69 million.
Quite a drop from 90 million I would say. And that is before the effect that I am talking about starts to kick in.
Re: XP replacements
Now that XP is EOLed, a good portion of new PC sales are for replacement of old XP kit.
Very much my thought too. The trend for all computer vendors will be down, as the replacement cycle stretches from three years up to five, even eight years. Hardware doesn't wear out fast. Today's hardware is fast enough for most uses that people find for PCs, with huge amounts left in reserve for future software bloat.
Everyone who wants a Mac has got a Mac. Same for PC. Probably same for tablets soon if not already. There's a bulge in the PC replacement market caused by the EOL of XP and consequential replacement of many PCs 5+ years old that can't run more modern Windows well. It's distorting the figures.
In short, computer hardware is now a mature market.
BTW If you run Linux desktops in your business / school / home, you can acquire adequate hardware for free right now (i.e. ex-XP systems). You might even get paid a few quid to take it away.

Where do self builds come in?
This has always made me wonder
Re: Where do self builds come in?
Not counted.
Admittedly, that's a very small part of the market; probably well below 1% of the total. So, in a way, WE are the 1%. Yay us!
Re: Where do self builds come in?
It would be interesting to know how many "boxed" motherboards Asus & C. ships... most of them will be self-built PCs.
Re: Where do self builds come in?
> It would be interesting to know how many "boxed" motherboards Asus & C. ships... most of them will be self-built PCs.
Not that simple, because of stock and volume effects. As an extreme example I recently rebuilt a Tru64 AlphaServer, for the heck of it (I am a an admirer of "seriously sturdy computers"). Also I do regularly engage in MoBo-replacement to Magic-up family PCs. I'm really THAT easy ;-)
Boxed MoBos sales won't tell you nuthin', because of the enthusiasts, the gamers, the geeks, and well, all deessa not meena much.
Re: Where do self builds come in?
"So, in a way, WE are the 1%."
Excellent news! When can I expect my first multi million dollar taxpayer funded bailout?
Re: Where do self builds come in?
There is something about nice quality aftermarket kit. I am building 2 PCs for my twins and using middle market stuff.
Using ASUS motherboards, they do feel like a nice component.
Maybe because they're overpriced x86 tablet machines?
Can't swap the disk, can't add any RAM. All for £999+
Nothing wrong with Macs
at less than half the current retail price.
As the previous poster mentioned, can't be upgraded, so they are obsolete in a few years. Even though they are well engineered and well built kit, nothing would entice me to buy one. (I do graphic design amongst other things)
I am typing this on a machine that was once a 386SX (nothing of the original remains)
Apple roflmfao.
Re: Nothing wrong with Macs
I suppose, with windows or even the bulging Linux, it is necessary to be able to "upgrade" the machine just to keep it responsive. That was certainly true for my last Windows system and it seems to be true for my work laptop. As for the Redhat I have to support at work, that seems to require constant "upgrade" at every new release.
My ancient OS X white laptop, on the other hand, seems not to lose any performance with upgrades. The only thing I have done is get a bigger disc because I was filling it with photos and documents. I then took advantage and got an SSD. Now, well, I have abandoned the idea of replacing it for the latest. The speed is b- brilliant and even thngs like Eclipse run well.
So, if you get the right spec. in the first place, I think the average Apple system will be fine for its decent length life. That, I think, is good as I buy the thing to use, not to have to "iupgrade" just to keep up with inefficient software and bloated OS patches and upgrades.
Plus, I am a real BSD bigot when it comes to my opinion of Linux.
Re: Nothing wrong with Macs
" Plus, I am a real BSD bigot when it comes to my opinion of Linux."
Me too, but I'm not as wise as you - very sensible to post that sort of comment anonymously around these here parts!
Re: Nothing wrong with Macs
That's only because Mac hw is always on the high-end side and thereby it has a longer life-span, it happens also with Windows (or Linux) machines if buy (or build) high-end ones. The one I built in 2005 happily run up to Windows 7 until last year - when it was turned into a NAS server - replaced by a new built one that easily outperforms any actual Mac and will do for a while.
Of course if you buy hw in the lower-end side because it's cheap cheap and can barely run actual OSes and software, it won't be able to run anything new within three years - the Law of Software Inflation says "software expands to fill the available hardware" - developers often target systems on the higher end side, and while Apple hardware evolve slower (especially because if you want Apple there's no competition), Windows and Linux machines hw evolve much faster - especially because there's a lot of competition and some software, even consumer ones like games, push the envelope.
x86 to be abandoned?
Apple keep dumbing down their mac software.
Abandoning current Mac software users hints that higher profit ARM Macs are likely on the way.

Cowboys wideout Bryant to delay surgery on injured finger
Arlington, TX, United States (4E Sports) – Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant informed the team that he will delay the surgery on his fractured left index finger and try to play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a source said.
The source also added that the Cowboys medical staff will try to devise a means to protect Bryant's finger and at the same time, allow him to function as wide receiver.
"We don't have a definitive plan for Dez right now, he did see the doctor yesterday and nothing's really changed," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said Thursday. "We're going to see how he feels today and see if there's a chance he can play."
"He went through the walk-through yesterday and he didn't do anything in practice yesterday. It seems like he's feeling fine but we have to make a decision there as to what we want to do. Dez is certainly part of that decision, the medical analysis is part of that decision as well," he added.
Garrett said Bryant will be limited in practice and will not catch passes Thursday as he tries to determine his comfort zone with a taped-up splint on his injured finger.
"Don't anticipate him catching passes today, still kinda working through what we want to do with him logistically both in the walk-through and at practice," Garrett said.
If Bryant reinjures the finger, it could cause permanent stiffness, which would minimize his ability to catch passes.
One of the Cowboys' best performers this season, Bryant has caught 30 passes for 438 yards with six touchdowns over the past four weeks, and he has scored in the past five games.
Bryant ranks 10th in the NFL in receiving yards (1,028) this season and is tied for third with nine touchdowns.

Chapter 8 - COMING SOON
Views: 745
Thanks for reading wolfgirl! I hope to have cahpter 1 up soon. i will keep you updated.
Chapter 1
My name is Isabella Swan or Bella for short. So here I am sitting on an airplane on my way to my father's house. I had no clue what I would find in Forks, Washington. I did not want to leave my mother but I had no choice. It might help it I told you what happened about a year ago.
One Year Earlier Flashback
I was coming home from a short vacation at our beach house. I had to stop on the side of the road because my car had gotten a flat tire and I had to replace it. I had not heard anyone come up but I do remember what they said to me. "Don't be scared. I am here to help you." the male had said. "I noticed that you had a flat tire and I was wondering if you wanted help." He said. I thought about and then decided that it might be a good idea. "Okay thank you." I got up to let him get to the tire and the next thing I know there is someone else there right behind me bending my head back to get a better view of my neck. At that moment I knew the two people that came to help me were vampire and I happened to have been there meal. Something made them stop before they had killed me. I managed to get into my car and stay there until I would be able to move again. I was in so much pain for days. For some unknown reason I had covered myself with a blanket. I noticed that the pain was starting to go away from my limbs but it was heading to my heart. My heart started to beat faster and faster until it finally gave out. Once I was able to sit up I looked around to see where I was. I was still in the back seat of my car. I checked my phone and noticed that I was in pain for three days. I got to thinking that if the people that attacked me were vampires would that mean that they had turned me into a vampire. I got out of the car and went into the forest. I could see every detail, all eight colors of the rainbow and I could also smell everything. That was the first time that I had noticed that it was dark out. I smelled around me and noticed that all I could smell were animals. My new instinct told me to go after it and attack it and so that is what I did. I only got two deer. I went back to my car and looked at what time it was. I should be getting back to my mom and Phil. I wonder if I still had I flat tire. I checked my tire and it had been changed. I wonder who did that. I had gotten back in my car and head to my house.
End of Flashback
I could not believe that I was there for almost a year. From the time I was turned I had only feed from animals. I was crazy for staying in Florida for almost a year. I should have moved sooner but I did not know how I would be able to stand a plane full of humans. I was moving to Forks not because I wanted to live with my father but because of the weather. The constant clouds and rain they have. I have not run into any more vampires since I was turned. I hope that at some point I do. I also hope to run into the vampires that turned me so I can kill them. They had no right to leave me on my own. I was so lost in my thoughts that I had not noticed that the plane was landing. I was so happy to be on the ground. I think the most difficult part of my travel would be the hour ling car ride with my dad who is the Chief of the Forks Police. Nothing in society slows traffic down like a cop. I could not wait until I would buy my own car. I lived a few miles away from the school so I could run but I really didn't want to so it would be better if I had a car. I had told my dad not to get me a car but if he wanted to get me something he could get me something for my room. My flight had finally landed and the only thing left was the long drive to the house. I only had one bag with me and it was my carryon bag. I was glad that I would not have to deal with baggage claim. I went to baggage claim anyway because that was where he was going to pick me up. I looked around and could not find me. However I did see a honey blonde guy waiting for someone. I noticed that he also had the same golden color of his eyes. He has to be a vampire. From the corner of my eye I noticed from the corner of my eye a small pixie like girl with black hair and golden eyes ran to the honey blonde and then kissed him. I noticed that a bronze hair boy also with golden eyes following her. They must be family. They all looked right at me. Dang what am I going to do to get out of this? My mind was racing with thoughts. "Who are you?" the bronze god asked me. "I am Isabella Swan but I prefer Bella." "You are the chief daughter right?" he asked. "Yes that is right. Why?" I was getting annoyed with him but for some reason I could not look away from him. "Well I notice that we are alike and I was wondering if you were going to be staying with him." "Yes I was planning on staying with him. I don't care I was living like this with my mother and step father every since this happened about a year ago. I have not harmed a single human. I don't like the way they smell. I only feed on animal blood." I could tell that he was a mind reader. The pixie was a future seer and her mate could sense people emotions. I am so going to tap into their power and store it as my own. I could tell that the mind reader was trying to read my mind but that was not going to happen because I also have a shield. "I would not do that if I were you mind reader." I told him. He looked really shocked. "You did not see this coming future seer? Or did you and did not tell him." I wish I knew their names. It was as if the pixie could read my mind. "I am Alice and this is Jasper. That is Edward." Wait I knew that name. I have come across that name before. "Edward Cullen?" He looked surprised that I knew his last name. "Yeah that is our coven. How did you know?" I then remembered the note the male had left me after turning me. It mentioned that if I needed any help to look for Edward Cullen. "Well the couple that had turned me left while I was turning but the male left a letter for me. It said that if I needed any help that I should find Edward Cullen. If you want to know who they were it will take some time for me to draw them to show or I would put my shield down for you to see it Edward." I thought about it and waited for him to answer. "I think I know who it is but I wish my father could see this person." I thought about it for a second and then remembered that I had my sketchbook with me. I pulled it out and began to draw the couple. It took me about one minute to completely draw them. I gave them the paper. "Oh thank you so much. I now can show this to Carlisle and see what he thinks." "Well by the looks of it I think Charlie forgot to pick me up so I think I would have to run home." I told them. I could tell that they were all thinking about whether or not to let me run or to drive me. I couldn't believe that Charlie, my own father, forgot to pick me up. "We can take you to your house if you want? Or you could meet our parents and the rest of the family?" Alice asked. I wonder why she would ask because I know that she can see the future so wouldn't she have seen me going to their house. "Alice let me guess you saw me going to your house didn't you?" She squealed really loudly. I looked at the guys. "So I take that as a yes." The both nodded their head. "Well let's go already." With that we were on the way to their car and on the way to their house. The whole time Edward was sitting in the back seat with me I could feel a pull toward him and I had no clue what that was that I was feeling. Was he to also feeling it? 'I can't wait for them to get together.' Alice said. "I heard that Alice." I said. "You heard what Bella? I didn't say anything." "But I heard you. Oh wait never mind I know why I heard you. I have the ability to tap into others' powers and if I think they are good enough to keep I would keep them. I had done that to all of your powers." "That means you heard my thoughts." "Yea Alice I did." "Oops." "Why am I unable to read your thoughts Bella?" Edward asked. "Well I am also a physical and mental shield." It seemed like a light switch had flipped and he understood.

If we can improve the condition of the govt hospitals and abolish corruption we can provide healthcare for most of the people.Private hospitals can also be forced to provide a minimum amount of health service to the poor.Charity organisations must also be encouraged by the govt.

Laura Blanchard of Plum Tree Quilts designed this adorable nap quilt using Amy Barickman's newest fabric collection. The mock-embroidery squares are framed with a red coordinate print. Alternate nine-patch blocks are the same size as the embroidery squares and a unique sashing treatment unifies the two block styles. Classic 30's reproduction prints are used throughout the quilt design while a pastel Mother Goose tossed print looks terrific used as the sashing. Finally, the perky triangle treatment for the top and bottom borders really help to make this quilt incredibly charming!

Pharrell recently sat down with UK radio station Kiss FM to chat about new album G I R L but the topic eventually changed to Beyonce. After all, the hitmaker produced "Blow" and "Superpower" on her all-conquering visual album. He was quick to praise the "Drunk In Love" diva but put her success down to an unlikely factor — her star sign.

Synopsis: Clark Gable's next-to-last MGM film was the Cold War melodrama Never Let Me Go. Filmed in England, the story finds American journalist Philip Sutherland (Gable) desperately trying to retrieve his Russian-ballerina bride Marva Lamarkins (Gene Tierney) from behind the Iron Curtain. Stymied by bureaucracy on both sides, Sutherland attempts to plead his case directly to Soviet bigwig Molotov, in London for a peace conference. When this too fails, Sutherland aligns himself with an Englishman (Richard ... Full Synopsis

Zachary Spaeth '14: "This trip allowed me to deepen
my understanding of these films."
Spaeth conducted research in Austria's
National Film Archive and National Library.
A trip to Austria gave Randolph-Macon College student Zachary Spaeth '14
a whole new perspective on the importance of research.
As a participant in the Schapiro Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF)
program, Spaeth is conducting a comparative analysis of American and German comedy
films from the 1930s and '40s. Under the guidance of
German Professor Joseph Moser, he is trying to find out why both film industries
created comedic films while such horrific events were taking place in the world.
"The industries were similar in that they used the films for propaganda purposes,"
says Spaeth, a German and political science
major who spent two weeks in Austria screening films at the National Film Archive
and conducting research at the National Library.
Spaeth, who speaks German fluently, approached Moser earlier this year with an interest
in conducting research on some aspect of German and American culture in and around
World War II.
"I decided on comedy films because, although there is a lot of research done on
propaganda films and documentaries, there has been very little done on the films
that played in the 1930s and '40s in everyone's homes: comedies," says Spaeth. "The
trip—my first outside of the U.S.—allowed me to deepen my understanding of these
films and see firsthand where they were filmed."
"I was deeply impressed by the sophisticated connections Zachary made between some
of these complex films, both given the difficult historical contexts and the fact
that this was Zachary's first exposure to working in Austrian archives and libraries,"
says Moser. "I learned a lot from working with him this summer."
Spaeth, a Sellersville, Pennsylvania native, says the opportunity to travel and
conduct research has enriched his R-MC experience.
"With SURF, I have taken on a whole new level of learning," he says. "Conducting
research, especially during the summer when I don't have to focus on other classes,
is a phenomenal experience." Mentorship is also an important part of the SURF program.
"Professor Moser's mentorship is amazing," he says. "He is extremely knowledgeable
about the films, actors, and history I am researching. Whenever I have a question,
he is there to push me in the right direction, and he always hints at something
new I should be looking for. I aspire to one day be a great researcher like him."
After graduation, Spaeth hopes to join the Fulbright U.S. Student Program and conduct
research in Austria.
"I then want to earn a master's degree in German— and eventually a Ph.D.," he says.
In addition to his participation in the SURF program, Spaeth serves as Chair of
the Academic Integrity Council, Sergeant at Arms of Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity,
and Public Relations Chair of
Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity.
SURF was introduced in 1995 as an endowment to
support scholarly undergraduate research by students in all disciplines. Students
conduct 10 weeks of full-time, original research during the summer months, under
the guidance of a faculty mentor. The initial gift for the program was made by Benjamin
Schapiro '64 and his wife Peggy.

Two performances of Spamalot will be presented Jan. 11, at 2 and 7 PM.
When it closes, the musical will have played a total of 35 previews and 1,574 regular performances. (The musical had been scheduled to end its run Jan. 18, but the closing date was changed one week due to the downturn in the economy.)
The New York company currently features Michael Siberry and Merle Dandridge, who play, respectively, King Arthur and Lady of the Lake, with Tom Deckman, Rick Holmes, Bradley Dean, Wally Dunn, Martin Moran and David Hibbard.
When Spamalot closes, it will have grossed over $175,000,000 and will have been seen by more than two million people. The musical recouped its entire investment in under six months.
The musical tells the tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table on their quest from God for the Holy Grail — with a short stop in the dazzling Spam-filled land of Camelot.
Spamalot earned the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical and took home honors for direction (Mike Nichols) and one of its stars (Sara Ramirez).
Spamalot celebrated its third anniversary on Broadway March 18, 2008.

Fits perfectly.
Brand new jacket. Does not appear to be used. Medium fit great. Good look also.
Nice Items! Great Price!
Jacket was not as described in the catalog. There were no insignia on the epaulets. Also, the zipper on the jacket would not unzip.
This is an excellent jacket. I ordered a size medium and it is marked large, but it fits me perfectly. I am very happy with this purchase. I just wish that it had the epaulet insignias, but I knew when I ordered it that it may or may not have them. Thanks.

Defense shifts blame from Elkins
By MICHAEL HALL The Brunswick News MARIETTA - After weeks of a pre-trial defense strategy to shift suspicion from the teenager accused of fatally shooting 13-month-old Antonio Santiago onto the infant's parents, the best Public Defender Kevin Gough could do Thursday was to get the child's father to admit he was a half block away when his son was murdered. Gough previously failed during the trial to introduce his suggestion that Sherry West killed her son on a Brunswick street March 21. Brunswick Judicial Circuit Judge Stephen Kelly had admonished him to limit his questions to West to ones that pertained only to the guilt or innocence of De'Marquise Elkins, who is accused of the attack. On the final day of witness testimony Thursday, before lawyers' closing arguments to the jury, which are expected to begin today, Gough questioned Louis Santiago, Antonio's father. At times, Gough and Assistant District Attorney Andrew Ekonomou argued sharply over the suitability of some of Gough's questions. Santiago testified during redirect examination by Gough - after prosecutors had cross-examined Santiago, whom Gough had called as a witness - that he left his apartment in the 900 block of Union Street in Brunswick at 9:10 a.m. March 21. Prosecutors say Elkins attempted to rob West and wounded her and fatally shot Antonio at about 9:15 a.m. Santiago said during cross-examination by Ekonomou that he left his apartment with neighbors to go to Walmart at about 9:10 a.m. to buy juice and other items for Antonio. "Then, all of the sudden, a phone call came from one of our neighbors," Santiago said of a call the neighbor he was with received. The caller said a woman had been shot nearby and that it may have been West. Later, while at Walmart, Santiago said he got a phone call from police telling him what had happened. Gough keyed in on that during his redirect questioning and got Santiago, who lives separately from West, to admit he was nearby when West and his son were shot. Gough had suggested in pre-trial motions that West or Santiago, or both, had killed their son, based on the presence of gunshot residue on each of them. Santiago had testified at a pretrial hearing in Glynn County that he had touched West's wound while she was being treated at the Brunswick hospital of Southeast Georgia Health System. Gough had also suggested that West had a motive to kill her son, based upon a question she purportedly asked her estranged daughter in a telephone call about how long it would take to receive a settlement on a $5,000 infant's life insurance policy she had for Antonio. After riveting Glynn County since March 21 - Kelley moved the trial 325 miles away because awareness of the crime would make it difficult to seat an impartial jury at Brunswick - the defense rested at about 6:30 p.m. Thursday. After closing arguments today, Kelley will give jurors instructions on the legal rules they must follow to reach a verdict, and deliberations will begin. The trial began Aug. 19 with jury selection, and the prosecution began presenting its case Aug. 20, with testimony from medical examiners, police officers, ballistics experts and two eyewitnesses - Elkins' co-defendant, Dominique Lang, who will be tried in Glynn County, and West. The defense took over Tuesday, calling only a handful of peripheral witnesses. None was an eyewitness. Elkins did not testify in his own defense. He is facing charges of murder, cruelty to children, aggravated assault and attempted armed robbery for his alleged involvement in the attack near the intersection of Ellis and London streets in the Old Town neighborhood of Brunswick. He is also charged with aggravated assault and attempted armed robbery for his alleged involvement in the robbery and shooting March 11 in the 1700 block of Norwich Street, Brunswick, that left pastor Wilfredo Calix-Flores with a gunshot wound to his left arm. Elkins, 18, could be sentenced to life in prison if he is convicted of murdering Antonio. Prosecutors could not seek a death penalty because he was 17 years old at the time of the murder. The defense of Elkins' mother, Karimah Elkins, 36, also rested Thursday. She is charged with making false statements and tampering with evidence for allegedly giving a false alibi for her son's whereabouts at the time of the murder and for allegedly disposing of the .22 caliber revolver police say was used in the crime. Thursday morning, a Brunswick man who stands to receive $10,000 in reward money for providing information that led to the arrests of Elkins and Lang testified that he talked to police out of the goodness of his heart. Argie Brooks, who is incarcerated in the Glynn County jail facing armed robbery charges, testified he has no deal with prosecutors to testify against Elkins. Gough's questioning took on a hostile tone early and prompted Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney Jackie Johnson to object that Gough was improperly asking his own witness leading questions that would suggest the answers he wanted. Gough fired back, saying that Brooks should have been a witness for the prosecution, but prosecutors were afraid of what he might say in court. He did not clarify what Brooks might say that would hurt the prosecution's case. Although Gough contended that Brooks took $1,000 from the Brunswick Police Department and $1,000 from the Glynn County Police Department to share with his roommate, Debra Obley, Lang's aunt, Brooks maintained that he came forward as a concerned citizen after overhearing a conversation with Obley that he thought indicated Lang may have been involved. "I was doing this from the heart," Brooks said. Prior to Brooks' testimony, the defense called Heather Kleider, a cognitive psychologist at Georgia State University, who testified that the photo lineups police showed West and Calix-Flores, from which they identified Elkins were improperly suggestive. "I would say it's suggestive, yes, in that not everybody is meeting that description," Kleider said of what she thought were significant dissimilarities among photos in the lineups. * Reporter Michael Hall writes about public safety, environment and other local topics.

Anastasia & Cara Keep Winning
Published September 05, 2010 12:00
NEW YORK, NY, USA - The second round wrapped up and the third round began in doubles at the Open over the weekend, with former No.1 Cara Black and Anastasia Rodionova among the winners.
Black and Rodionova, the No.9 seeds, took just 56 minutes to ease past Alla Kudryavtseva and Darya Kustova in their second round, 64 61. Kudryavtseva and Kustova broke Black's serve in the seventh game for a 4-3 advantage, but Black and Rodionova won eight games in a row and eventually closed it out.
"We played a really great match,," Black said. "It was really windy so the conditions were tricky. It was blowing all over the place. But the hot weather has been great - we love playing in it and we're pretty used to it, I think."
Next for Black and Rodionova are Germans Julia Goerges and Anna-Lena Groenefeld. "They are both great players. It will be a tough one," Black added.
Among the other teams winning second rounders were No.1 seeds Gisela Dulko and Flavia Pennetta, No.4 seeds Kveta Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik and No.5 seed Lisa Raymond and Rennae Stubbs.
The third round began too. No.2 seeds Liezel Huber and Nadia Petrova, Raymond and Stubbs, No.6 seeds Vania King and Yaroslava Shvedova and No.14 seeds Elena Vesnina and Vera Zvonareva all making the quarters.

Heroes' Square in downtown Budapest. Statues depict various personalities significant in Hungarian history, from the founding tribes of Hungary in the 9th century to more modern political figures.
Best meal:
At Vörös Postakocsi és Hungaricum Grill Restaurant, near Kalvin Square. Trying authentic goulash while in Hungary is a must. While this restaurant was a little bit pricey in comparison to other restaurants (around $15-20 for drinks and dinner), the food was well worth it.
Best deal:
Bargaining at the Grand Market Hall. Most sellers speak at least some English and are willing to haggle on prices for everything from pashminas to Russian stacking dolls to Baltic amber.
Best time to go:
I was there at the start of November and it was cold. Highs were barely above freezing and it snowed. On the plus side though, there were not large groups of tourists. I've since been told that spring is the best time to visit Budapest in order to avoid both the winter weather and summer tourists.
Best travel tip:
Don't limit yourself to the city limits as the outskirts provide plenty of opportunities. I was disappointed that I didn't have the time to go and find the business where you can drive an old Soviet tank around an obstacle course.

What is Permanent Makeup?
It is a non-surgical procedure known as permanent makeup. It is a cosmetic tattooing of the facial features to enhance color and improve shape. This process is also called micropigmentation, intradermal cosmetics or dermaimplant.
How Permanent Makeup can help you
When applied correctly by well-trained technician permanent cosmetic can enhance your appearance and life style.
Is Permanent Makeup really permanent?
Permanent Makeup is permanent since you cannot wash it off. With time the procedure may fade but the shape will always be there and you can come for fresh color touch up in few years.
How much can expect to spend?
You can expect to spend from $300-$3000 depending on technician experience, location, etc.
Is it safe?
Permanent cosmetics have come a long way pigments and equipment are very safe but if you are highly sensitive, a patch test is necessary.
Is it painful?
Expect nominal discomfort. We have good topicals to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
Can I resume normal activities?
When you schedule your appt you should keep social plans in mind. Although there is no down time the tattoo area will be darker first week and you wont be able to wear makeup.
What if I don't like it?
Though Permanent Makeup is permanent if you don't' like the outcome slight changes in color and shape can be made. It is important that you put your makeup on the way you like it the day of the procedure and explain to the technician what you like and what you really want.

Ummmm, I don't seem to recall Champ Bailey, Von Miller or anyone else on the defense driving 95 yards down the field to score the GO AHEAD Touchdown, do you ?
It's just the way it works in the NFL Whomever scores the game winning TD gets the credit. If the Broncos had been down by 3 and had Miller strip sacked Sanchez and taken the ball in for the GAME WINNING TD, then guess what ? Yep, the DEFENSE would get credit for winning the game.
If Eddie Royal had fielded the punt and taken it back for the GO AHEAD, GAME WINNING TD, then Eddie Royal would have been celebrated and gotten credit for winning the game.
The only thing this doesn't really apply to is kickers as no one gives a **** about them . It's kind of how John Elway is famous for "The Drive", but almost no one remembers that Rich Karlis actually won that game in OT with a FG.

SO excited, that when I asked our resident Beauty Guru, Debi, to do a nail tutorial with our brand new Exclusive Lacquer from Floss Gloss, Gangsta Boo, I almost shrieked (out of happiness, not fright!) that she wanted to do a blood-splattered look a la Dexter. Spooky nails? Sign a girl up.
Here's what you'll need:
Clockwise: Nailpolish remover (for fixing mistakes!), One or Two Dental Flossers, White Nail Polish, Red Nail Polish (we recommend Miss KL's exclusive, Gangsta Boo, from Floss Gloss!), Top coat, and Q-tips.
Step 1: Paint your nails white.
Step 2: Coat the Floss part of the Flosser with Gangsta Boo by Floss Gloss. Hold over each nail and pluck the floss (like you were strumming a guitar!) – This will give you your desired splatter effect.
Step 3: Dip a Q Tip in Nail Polish removed and swipe around each nail to clean up any excess polish.
Step 4: Apply top coat, let dry, and VOILA! Dexter nails.
Don't forget to pick up your own bottle of GANGSTA BOO from Floss Gloss. Available only on Miss KL!
