I am experiencing the rage with BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea.
Now, I waited patiently for the second episode of Burial at Sea to come out. I was super excited to get to play some of it today.
((Now, let it not be said that I'm against change in a series. I'm going to preface this. Change can be beautiful.))
For those of you NOT in the know, in the final chapter of the BioShock Infinite DLC, you get to play Elizabeth, a pretty dang kick butt, omni-something or other psychic wonder woman would can RIP HOLES IN REALITY WITH HER BARE HANDS and in the first DLC, was established as a pretty hardcore lady going out to do something pretty hardcore (which I will not spoil for you).
The initial sequence is amazing. Classic turn on head "Everything is Misery Coated in Deceptive Happiness" wonderfulness. I was wiggling in my seat giddy about getting to play. This is what BioShock IS.
And then the cut sequences ended. Elizabeth no longer has cool powers for reasons. She is a "Normal girl" now. Okay. Fine. Whatever. This can be cool. Booker was normal. Jack was...engineered normal. Delta was- well...Delta was spliced to crap. But whatevs. Not the point.
I am finally in the driver's seat. First room. Let's go-
"Sneak up on this Splicer!"
Well, okay. I guess I don't have weapons yet. Fine. Makes sense. I can deal.
So I play this little stealth intro bitterly. I ain't got no beef with stealth, but I have sexy flings with BioShock for the badaboom combat/corvids shooting out of my hands stuff.
And then the first gun I pick up is...a tranquilizer crossbow.
And now, this is when I start to get irritated. Because this isn't just about a stealth game. Nope. They have to get a little gendery.
You don't need to be like your dad, Elizabeth. You don't need to shed blood...You're just a normal girl...splicers are dangerous.
Not because it's wrong. Oh no. Mechanically, I'M NOT ALLOWED TO.
Booker can jack a man in the face with a skyhook and take him down. But I need to sneak behind him or he'll just get dizzy and claw my face off. Booker can attack from above raining wumps of death. But if I'm Elizabeth, I can daintily land without sound and hide from splicers in a vent.
Finally tapped out as soon as the in game advice let me know that Big Daddy with attack on sight, and little girly Elizabeth cannot kill him.
This is not about Bioshock becoming a stealth game for me. This is WHAT I'm playing somehow MEANING this is now a stealth game.
I invite you to join the TEAR IT UP CHALLENGE. The Rules are simple.
1) Draw Elizabeth as a Hardcore Action Hero.
2) Spread Across the Internet
3) 'Knucks with the people.
Ethereal Out.

July 20th Meeting
The third Wednesday of the month, July 20th, will be a code jam using Context Free Art.
For those of you who attended FlashBelt, we saw a number of amazing things, but if you're like me, not the time in the world to try them.
Let's take a couple hours and see what we can make!
Context Free Art is a program (Mac & Windows) that allows you to easily create recursive, fractal, and simple geometric art with very little code.
Here's the url if you'd like to have a peak before the meeting. (And get it installed)
As usual, we begin at 6:30 for pizza and socializing, then start in around 7:00 until 9:00.
The location will be at Easel Training at 23 Emprire Drive, St. Paul, MN
For this session, bring a laptop if you have one, if you don't, no problem.

Auto Meter's packaging has also been copied—but not very well, as shown here by the shoddy packaging (left) for an equally phony Auto Meter 5-inch tach. The counterfeit fails miserably to reproduce the subtle shadow effect of the lettering on the genuine packaging, instead producing nearly unreadable text. This is typical of phony foreign packaging.

It's not easy building a small business, especially in a recovering economy. Now, Albemarle County is doing what it can to make that process smoother, but some business owners say the process is still too rocky.
Albemarle County is doing everything it can to lose a negative reputation of being bad for business. It's reaching out and sharing resources to cultivate commerce in the county. But when it comes to starting from scratch, some say the path to profitability has too many hurdles.
Route 29 is the main street of Albemarle County. Business booms even "mom and pop" shops like Yoder's Sugar and Spice.
"We sell lots of nuts, and candy, and all kinds of good stuff," said Glenn Yoder, the owner of Yoder's Sugar and Spice.
But getting the good stuff on store shelves wasn't always a good experience. "It's permits, licenses that you've got to get. Those hurdles that you've got to go over," explained Yoder.
It took Yoder more than six months working with Albemarle County before he could open for business last July.
Yoder says it is because of the "red tape that you've got to go through to get something going."
"There's a certain amount of process and regulation that businesses have to go through wherever they are," explained Albemarle County spokeswoman Lee Catlin.
Now, Albemarle County is reaching out with resources to help businesses. It hosted its first business roundtable with the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce Tuesday.
Catlin says the meeting was scheduled "to demystify the processes and procedures of local government."
It published a small business tool kit to help county business grow, and says the door is open to those that need help.
"There are county staff who are anxious to talk to them and help them resolve those problems," said Catlin.
But even with the best map, Yoder says the road to success on Albemarle's main drag can be a windy one.
"They are business friendly to a point, but again it's just a lot of hoops," he said. Albemarle County is planning to host more outreach events to help guide small businesses.

If you are still wondering just when the 641 bypass will be completed, the answer is the fall of 2016.
That's the latest word from the Indiana Department of Transportation.
It may be hard to see any progress because most of the work is being done in areas where there is no traffic.
Construction began back in 2003.
So coming soon, after 13 years and $150 million dollars the 641 bypass should be complete.

Agreement in language relates to the correspondence between words in a sentence, in terms of gender, case, person, or number. For example, in the sentence 'he runs', the suffix -s 'agrees' with the singular 'he'. Patterns of agreement vary dramatically cross-linguistically, with great diversity in the way it is expressed, and the types of variation permitted. This textbook offers an insight into how agreement works, and how linguists have tried to account for it. It will be essential reading for all those studying the structure and mechanisms of natural languages.Read more

The seminar began with an interesting slide show and lecture by Roger Bohmrich, on the climate, soil, grape varieties and winemaking in Alsace. Of course, special attention was given to the philosophies and contributions of Hugel.
Some interesting facts learned about Hugel:
--All grapes for Hugel wines are harvested by hand.
--Fermentations take place in stainless steel, cement, or old oak. No new oak is used in this step.
--Hugel has a large cask, named "Ste. Catherine" which dates to 1814, and which Roger Bohmrich claims is the oldest wooden cask in continuous use in any winery in the world.
--Jean Hugel was instrumental in the proposal and development of the current laws governing Vendange Tardive ("late harvest") and Sélection de Grains Nobles (grapes selected for the presence of Botrytis Cinerea, or "noble rot") wines.
--As adamant as Jean Hugel was in regulating the grades of wine, he was equally opposed to the law which created the many Grand Cru vineyards in Alsace. Apparently, he felt that too many vineyards were included in the designation, and that each wine should be rated on its own merits in each vintage, rather than relying on the status of the vineyard.
--As a result, Hugel does not bottle any wines which have the "Grand Cru" designation, even though their higher level wines come from Grand Cru vineyards. The levels of quality in the Hugel lineup are (from most basic to highest level): the "generic" Hugel, Tradition, Jubilee, Vendange Tardive, and Sélection de Grains Nobles.
--All grapes for the Jubilee, Vendange Tardive, and Sélection de Grains Nobles lines come from the Hugel family estates. They buy grapes from long-term contract growers for the more basic lines. They do not, however, buy any wines for any of their lines, only the grapes.
--The Grand Cru Schoenenborg vineyard is the source of their best Riesling wines. The vineyard is on a steep slope and has stony, schist soil. The Grand Cru Sporen vineyard is the source of their best Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris. The vineyard is in a relatively flat location, with heavier soil which tends to hold more water.
After everyone had enough of the lecturing, all eyes (and noses, and palates) turned toward the main event--the tasting...

The 3 Very (Very!) Best Places in Portland, According to Caesy Oney
Try not to be jelly that they're all crazy-convenient for the Draught Dry Goods designer.
If you happen to be skulking around Northeast Portland, you just might catch a glimpse of the Draught Dry Goods main man, Caesy Oney. All his favorite haunts happen to be within walking distance of both his studio and his apartment—but they're all worth a trip if you aren't quite as lucky. —jackie varriano
Nong's Khao Man Gai
"This is hands-down my favorite lunch in Portland. There's a food cart downtown proper, but I generally visit the spot in lower SE, as I can walk there from the workshop. Their Khao Man Gai, commonly known as 'paper chicken,' is a really simple dish of broiled chicken and rice, and their house-made sauce is a garlic-ginger-chili combo that is mind-blowing."
(609 SE Ankeny St., Suite B, khaomangai.com)
Club 21
"This is my neighborhood dive—standard bar fare and stiff drinks. Lots of shit on the walls. Great neon sign out back that is from a long-forgotten steak house."
(2035 NE Glisan St.)
See See Motor Coffee Co.
"This is the coffee-slash-motorcycle shop that is run by my friends. It has delicious coffee and snacks—and of course tons of motorcycles and motorcycle things. They are also really active in the community and have events and parties often. A true Portland treasure."

Hare+Hart Knows Buenos Aires
And now you do, too.
As we imagine it, Jennie Engelhardt and Emily Harrison of Hare+Hart spend all of their time eating medium-rare steaks, cracking open bottles of Argentine red, and tangoing until sunrise. But when the design duo is in Buenos Aires—they both also do time in NYC—they have to get work done, too, as they produce all of their line's elegantly simple leather goods just outside the capital city. Here, the nine places you'll find them when they're not hanging out at factories. —lydia woolever
The bar at Milion.
Emily: "It's a bar in a huge, old, three-story mansion in this chichi neighborhood—like the Upper East Side—called Recoleta. Argentines aren't huge drinkers—so it's not like the New York cocktail scene—but they make these amazing basil cocktails here. And there's this beer called Quilmes, which is definitely cheaper to drink than water." (Paraná 1048)
La Cabrera
Jennie: "This is a special-occasion parrilla, or grill. Emily gets their bife de lomo (tenderloin), and I like their ojo de bife (rib eye). We usually share an order of mollejas (sweetbreads) and provoleta (grilled provolone). We're definitely not vegetarians." (José Antonio Cabrera 5099)
Jennie: "Medialunas, or 'half-moons,' are the Argentine version of a croissant. They're smaller and sweet—they have a little bit of honey on top. They're everywhere, but the best are at Domani. It's a block from Emily's apartment, so we go there and do work a lot. It's like a weird sort of IHOP or American diner." (Salguero 3006)
Bosques de Palermo
Emily: "Bosques de Palermo is this big park with grassy areas and paths and lakes not far from my apartment. Jennie goes running there; I walk my dog."
Jennie: "People are always having maté with each other in the park. It's like tea-slash-marijuana. You drink out of the same straw and pass it around like you pass a joint. If people invite you to share maté, it means they like you. It has more significance than just sharing a drink."
Jennie: "This place is hilarious. It's trying to be really fancy, but it's also trying to be very American. It's like a nicer Chili's. They have nachos and french fries, but my personal favorite is the fingers de pollo—the chicken fingers. We go for happy hour a lot. The Argentines love it so much—from fancy, older people to these trendy, mulleted hipster kids, all hanging out at this suburban American chain restaurant in Argentina." (Del Libertador, Av. 4625)
Palermo Soho
Emily: "We both just love shoes. Palermo Soho is a neighborhood near my place that has great boutiques Jennie's been in Buenos Aires less than 24 hours, and she's already been to Mishka, our favorite spot."
Campo del Fiori
Emily: "After steak, Argentina's big food is fresh, homemade pasta. It's a staple. We go to Campo del Fiori for this amazing pre-fixe lunch. You get a drink, appetizer, fresh pasta, and then a dessert, all for like 12 bucks." (Venezuela 1401)
San Telmo Antique Market
Jennie: "Every Sunday in San Telmo, this neighborhood downtown, there's a huge fair with all these arts and crafts and antique vendors—jewelry, furniture, clothing, trinkets, these amazing lights and chandeliers from all centuries. I got some really cool old glass apothecary bottles there. It's hard to transport stuff back to the U.S., but it's a great place to just walk through and look around."
Emily: "This is a silly, fun club where we go dancing. Argentines aren't big drinkers, but they're big partiers. They're really into techno. You don't go out until 2 A.M., and everything's open 'til sunrise."
Don't miss out on Jennie and Emily's made-in-B.A. edition: This black leather bucket bag is rockin'.

A Ten-Stop Savannah Tour with Elizabeth Knight
The designer did time in the city and knows the most remarkable spots.
Elizabeth taking Savannah by bike.
Though Elizabeth Thompson is a relatively new designer, she has an enthusiasm for all that's old. That passion came in awfully handy when she lived in the historic, mysterious, Southern town of Savannah, Georgia, where she spent her early twenties studying jewelry design at SCAD—and where, she says, "time really moves more slowly." Here, Elizabeth helps us navigate the cobblestone streets, showing off her 10 fave stops. —lydia woolever
The rose gold and silver earrings that Elizabeth made us are suited for Southern ladies and Northerners alike. Check them out right this minute!
Oh-so-enticing Tybee Island.
Tybee Island
"My friends and I would drive out to this beach almost every weekend and on hot summer nights for midnight swims. What I remember the most about our trips was the 20 minute drive—windows rolled down and music turned up, the Gorillaz playing." (tybeevisit.com)
Zia Boutique
"Zia, the namesake owner and designer, actually taught me how to run my own business. I worked there when it first opened, and he made everything look effortless. I smile looking back on that now, because there's a serious amount of work that I didn't know about going on behind-the-scenes." (ziaboutique.com)
River Street
"Like you'd imagine, it's right along the Savannah River and has lots of fun bars and restaurants. In Savannah, there's no open container law, so in the evening you can grab a drink from one of these spots and walk along the water." (riverstreetsavannah.com)
The no-nonsense Clary's signage.
Clary's Café
"This spot is amazing—the best brunch in town—and is just down the block from my old apartment on Abercorn Street. It's a diner setting, open since 1903, with almost anything you could think of on the menu. Definitely get a milkshake. (claryscafe.com)
Pinkies Master's
"Pinkies is a dive bar that smells like beer, and what I love about it is that it never changes—which is something I love about Savannah in general. The students keep the town fresh, but she always stays true to her nature."
"SCAD—Savannah College of Art and Design—makes up a huge part of the town. In the middle of downtown, they have this big gift store that carries art by their students and alumni. My jewelry has been carried there for about three years now." (shopscad.com)
The Jepson Center at The Telfair Academy
"It's this new, modern building, full of paintings, sculptures, and works from local artists. It has a grand staircase and bright, white walls and these huge panes of glass that look out over a park. My friends got married there last year—it was one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever been to." (telfair.org)
Forsyth Park's fountain, built in 1858.
Forsyth Park
"This is a great, open place in the heart of downtown, with a beautiful, old fountain and dramatic Spanish moss everywhere. Bring your dogs. Play bocce. Sometimes I'd bring a sketchpad with me to work on new designs."
Satchel Boutique and Studio
"The designer—her name is Elizabeth, too—has been working on Satchel for about as long as I have on Elizabeth Knight. It's an adorable boutique with a beautiful workshop in the back that I'm jealous of." (shopsatchel.com)
Elizabeth on 37th
"They're known for having a one-of-a-kind Southern menu—pan-seared sea scallops with tuna tartare and almond-crusted coastal grouper. It's in a gorgeous, historic Georgia mansion. The triple chocolate cake…" (elizabethon37.com)

Louisa Plays Favorites in London and San Francisco
The designer is equally loyal to both locales.
Although Louisa Parris's family hopped around a bit when she was a kid (oh, hi, Dubai), London is her home: She studied fashion at Central Saint Martins, where she won the womenswear collection award upon graduation. Right about then, she also fell in love, and, in 2005, moved out to San Francisco with her now husband Chris, who had landed a sweet gig at Apple. Now the sophisticated Brit has fully embraced the SF scene…but she also gets back to London as much as she can manage. These are her must-hits in both cities.
London / The Nightingale: "This is five doors down from my family home, and I think I've been going there before I was legal! At Christmas, it's amazing—filled with friends, locals, and dogs." [pictured]
San Francisco / Lone Palm: "It's small with a great atmosphere—white tablecloths with black-and-white movies always playing in the corner. This little place gets packed, but I love it—and, again, it's a short walk from my apartment."
London / Wilton's Music Hall: "I got married here this time last year for a second time. My husband and I always promised we would do it again for friends and family—the first time, Chris and I went to San Francisco City Hall in 2006. This is the oldest music hall in London, and it's right in the heart of the city. I've yet to see a gig here, but I will one day I'm sure. You can even go on a guided tour—there is so much history to the place." [pictured]
San Francisco / Bimbo's 365 Club: "Seeing live shows in San Francisco is a huge part of going out here. Bimbo's 365 is a stunning venue—I'll never forget seeing Feist three or so years ago. The whole sound system went out, and Feist did this amazing gig with only a few lights on and very little sound support. It gave you shivers down your arms it was so atmospheric."
London / Clapham Common: "This is where I go for a lazy afternoon of reading the papers, sitting with friends, and watching the world go by. Recently, they restored the grandstand, it looks very beautiful even without a band."
San Francisco / Crissy Field: "If I could go down there every weekend, I would. Going right up under the Golden Gate Bridge on a cold, sunny day with the water right next to you is amazing and just so different from everything I grew up around in London." [pictured]
London / Victoria and Albert Museum: "I've been going there since I was little and even showed my gowns in a fashion show in the Raphael Galleries. You can easily spend hours lost in the rooms and corridors of such an old museum."
San Francisco / Legion of Honor: "I do love all our galleries in SF, and we have some really big ones. But lately I prefer the Legion of Honor. It's much smaller, and I like to go when it's quiet." [pictured]
London / Fortnum & Mason: "Whenever I'm home, I have to do a tea run to Fortnum & Mason—not only to buy tea but also to see the window displays, which are amazing visual feats." [pictured]
San Francisco / Martha & Brothers Coffee: "When my husband and I arrived in Noe Valley six years ago, this was the first place we went for tea and coffee, and we still go every day. I even send Martha's coffee back to family in London and Paris—they are all addicted!"

I've seen his videos and it is great that he can do what he does, but there is a catch here we can't ignore.
Consider the gear he is using? I drop 1800 crits now in half tier 1 and half blues as a combat daggers rogue. I drop them just about once ever 3-9 seconds based on straight energy regen, faster if I use adrenaline rush and faster still if I use consumables. He is using NAXX level gear, consumables and still is only hitting for 1800 crits. Yes he could easily replace me in my BWL raid sunday and while he would burn through consumables to do it the raid wouldn't notice much if any difference in DPS. Where the rub is put him up against a tier 3 geared rogue with Naxx weapons and I can pretty much guarantee they bury him. Toss in consumables for the rogue and this guy looks like the guy in the back tossing a starshard instead of healing.
I appreciate people trying to think outside the box and playing the game in a way that is fun for them but when you start trying to stop someone else from coming along because you can do something better than anyone else of your class but can't do it as well as the person you are replacing that is just wrong.

Yes I put a bandanna on a four month old. But it's hilarious. This little girl is my life . #tupac #baby #sister #love #perfect
Some say ill be better without you, but they don't know you like I do. Or at least the sides I thought I knew. I can't bear this time. It drags on as I lose my mind. Reminded by things I find like notes and clothes you've left behind. Wake me up. Wake me up when all is done.
There's only one me and you and how we used to shine. No matter what you go through we are one, that's a fact that you can't deny. So baby we just can't let the fire pass us try. Forever we'd both regret so don't forget about late nights playin' in the dark and wakin' up inside my arms. Boys, you'll always be in my heart, and I can see in your eyes you still want it. So don't forget about us. I'm just speaking from experience. NOTHING can compare to your first true love.
You broke the wrong heart baaaaaby, drove me redneck craaazzzy. ❤
This ones for you brad ❤ fly high baby. 11-19-94 💜 08-30-13 @yingling74

Landscape artist Newel "Buster" Post came late into woodworking. After years of creating art that spanned hundreds of acres, Buster wanted to work on projects on a more manageable scale.
"Landscape art can really wear you out. Plowing ditches, draping hillsides with fabric, directing squadrons of prairie dogs in synchronized burrowing & it's just a lot of work. And then there is the hassle of shipping the work to the buyer. It just went on and on," said Buster in a recent interview.
That's why woodworking held such interest to him. But after a couple of years of creating standard sized furniture and custom millwork, Buster started to wonder "Just how small can I build things?"
I am here to tell you that he got very small. At this point in time, I can safely say that Buster is the only woodworker milling stock on a cellular level. Combining super-sharp, laser-honed cutting tools and electrically augmented magnifying lenses in a jeweler's loupe, Buster is doing work that can only be called exceptional.
"It kinda came to me after I watched the director's cut version of Fantastic Voyage - Raquel Welch, what an actress! Well, anyway, that's when I thought of it."
Ironically, Buster is having difficulty selling this amazing and groundbreaking woodworking.
"Apparently, and this caught me by surprise, people don't like to look at woodworking using a microscope." Mused Buster, "Some folks have even accused me of cheating them & claiming there is no actual 'project' to buy. I am offended by those claims."

Recently, my brother asked me a cruel question: What's the best book ever?
Notice the phrasing. Not what is my favorite book ever or what book did you enjoy the most? Definitely not read any good books lately?

No, he was asking me for the "best," the book that sits atop civilization. I was flattered, in a way. It meant that my older brother, he who once gave me wedgies, has come to trust and respect my expertise.
Which was why I was disappointed when I couldn't provide a definitive answer — because it's an unanswerable question.
It's not that people haven't tried. In 1998, the Modern Library commissioned a panel of "experts" to compile a list of the "100 Best" English-language novels of the 20th Century. "Ulysses" by James Joyce came out on top with "The Great Gatsby" in second. There are some obvious criticisms of the list, one being that there is only one woman in the top 20 (Carson McCullers for "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter"), and seven in the top 100.
It also largely ignores anything published after 1970. Acclaimed author/bookstore owner Larry McCaffery sought to redress this issue by compiling a list of his own. Vladimir Nabokov's "Pale Fire" gets the top spot, nudging "Ulysses" down to No. 2. McCaffery also adds in authors missing from the Modern Library list like Don DeLillo, Thomas Pynchon, Toni Morrison, Tom Robbins and Kathy Acker.
The Modern Library opened up the voting to the public, and it turns out that seven of the top 10 best novels were written by either Ayn Rand or L. Ron Hubbard. This is evidence of either a gap in the opinions between professional critics and regular readers or the ability of Objectivists and Scientologists to stuff the ballot box.
In 2005, Time magazine took a swing at an unranked list of the top 100 novels published since Time's founding in 1923, a decision that conspicuously eliminates "Ulysses," since it was published in 1922. Time's list is admirably inclusive, adding in children's/young adult books such as "The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe" and Judy Blume's classic "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." A graphic novel, Alan Moore's "Watchmen," makes the cut as well.
Entertainment Weekly is the latest entrant, releasing a list rooted in an Oprah-esque populism that puts "Anna Karenina" at No. 1, but also includes "Charlotte's Web" and "Harry Potter" in the top 10.
So which of these gets it right?
If you're after the erudition of the most learned college professors, the Modern Library is the way to go. As measured against my personal bests, Time gets it the most right. Books that I would put in my top 10 — "Wise Blood" (Flannery O'Connor), "The Sportswriter" (Richard Ford), and "Slaughterhouse-Five" (Kurt Vonnegut) — are there.
But others — Lynda Barry's "Cruddy," Katherine Dunn's "Geek Love," Frederick Exley's "A Fan's Notes" — are missing.
These are conversation starters, not to-do lists. It's the ones I've found for myself that I seem to hold most closely.

How to add additional data to the list box?
The list boxes have predefined formats to display data and the datainput is given according to those formats and are displayed. Suppose if we want to add more columns and store user data in the list but they need not be displayed.
We can achieve this by creating an array list and store the all the data entries in the array list. When the array list is passed to the listbox model it reads the data corresponding to its own format and rest of the data would not be displayed (remain invisible). But still the invisible data can be retrieved by accessing the array list since it is stored there.
The CAknSingleGraphicStyleListBox list box has the following format:
- "%d\t%S\t%d\t%d"
- - %d's correspond to the index of icon used in the A, C and D columns
- - %S corresponds to a string that will be displayed in the B column
We create an array list with these four columns and pass it to the listbox model.
If the input data for row1 is ICON1, USERDATA1, ICON2, ICON3 respectively, then the data displayed in the CAknSingleGraphicStyleListBox would be
For the same array list two more columns can be added, for example USERDATA2 and USERDATA3
- "%d\t%S\t%d\t%d\t%S\t%S".
The input data for the list box would now be ICON1, USERDATA1, ICON2, ICON3, USERDATA2,USERDATA3 and the output displayed in the CAknSingleGraphicStyleListBox would still be
But the values of the invisible data USERDATA2 and USERDATA3 can be retrieved since they are being stored in the item array list.

Penn has opened a channel at ITunes as part of a project called "ITunesU," which is really just a part of the ITunes Music Store where a selection of universities' audio and video materials
The Grand Piano is an on-going, multi-authored account of the San Francisco poetics community in the 1970s.
The New York Times reported the death of Moe Fishman recently.
I'm a reader of Joe Milutis' blog called "New Jersey as an Impossible Object", which roughly works in and around William Carlos Williams's Paterson and his sense of the postindustrial city.
Bob Cobbing (1920-2002) was so cool that he embodied a post-word-as-such aesthetic, which enabled him to reach through language to sound and material (concreteness) and also an alphabeticality (the letter as letter). Ruth & Marvin Sackner's amazing archive in Miami includes a good deal of Cobbing's work, and our Matt Abess spent the summer of '06 and a good bit of time since then digitizing some of it and preparing for an exhibit that is opening now at the University of Pennsylvania library's gallery. This activity culminates in an event at the Kelly Writers House on October 11. For more: 1 2 3 4.

A 28-year-old Waco woman was arrested for using another person's tax refund for her own use.
Brittany Nicole Stovall was charged with theft over $1,500 by Waco PD for stealing another person's tax refund.
Police say Stovall was arrested after the victim reported he was concerned about his $1,674 tax refund. He told officers that Stovall was the granddaughter of his deceased girlfriend and she had helped him file his income tax return.
With help from the IRS, police determined that Stovall requested the refund be sent as a debit card. Police say Stovall had the card sent to her address and was telling the victim the card never came.
According to police, Stovall had used the card at local restaurants, gas stations and clothing stores. After her alleged spending, the card only had $7.92 remaining on it.

A short song I wrote on my Tanglewood TW45. Timing is horrible near the end, I know. I was p*ssed off from recording so many takes. ;)
Anyway, Enjoy. :)
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars July 23, 2012
First off let me say that this is way better than anything else I have ever written.
This sounds pretty good at times, but pretty strange at other times as well. I don't know if it's just me, but the timing sounds off throughout the whole song. It sounds as if the timing is delayed every now and then. But maybe it's just because you chose an unusual beat to write this song in.
Also, the acoustic guitar doesn't sound too good here. I guess it's pretty hard to record it in a good way (and I have heard other recordings with a similar sound), but exactly this "sound issue" is one of the reason why I don't like the acoustic guitar too much (the other reason is, that I'm just not very good at playing it ;) ).
Another thing I didn't like too much is the small interludes. They just sound too different from what we heard so far and don't really fit into the song.
Anyway, I'm not trying to dis this song. See above: It's way better than anything I have ever written. It's just that I think it could be better.

A Student of The Game – Passion and Purpose
Dear GutsIsKey Reader:
When I started the daunting task of BEAMing; I knew very little about blogging. I knew I didn't like the word. But I did like the concept of sharing my personal message, on a regular basis to interested readers. So I changed the name from blog to BEAM and started the task with a ferocity. Thus GUTS was born.
I started with purely inspirational motives and this inspiration will continue. I included Acrostic Inspirations, lessons from Allegory, Spiritual messages about faith and God, information about personal loves, like my deceased sister Detra; thoughts about my pursuit of karate……… AND also POSTS ABOUT SALES. Since sales has been a result of inspiration and personal growth for me; this was all very natural.
So as I have worked on this project; over 110 BEAMS have emerged and well over 100,000 words. So I have been busy. And at least 1/5 of this productivity has been expressed in the field of sales. So, It is now very plain to me that this is a direction I must continue to develop and build. Therefore, look for the sales portion of GUTSISTHEKEY to grow. I am sure from every angle this is what I am supposed to do.
Yet as I make this declaration that Sales as a topic will increase; please be assured that devotional and personal aspects of this BEAM will also continue. I know many of you have come to expect inspiration and help from GUTS. You may continue to expect this; EVEN IN MY SALES BEAMS.
Now with all that introduction out of the way; on to the meat and potatoes of why I write this post? I have had a prolific sales career in many settings, many industries, in many capacities; selling many products and services.
I say prolific because my work has always been exemplary and there has been a lot of it. Also, in the course of this experience, I have developed a keen knack, for helping others develop their own sales potential.
So, I have realized for a long time that I should build a career helping others with their own sales careers. But it seemed like I always felt that I was missing a piece of the puzzle. I was a powerful public speaker; so that wasn't it. I was a great sales trainer; so that wasn't it. I succeeded in nearly every sales environment; so that wasn't it. Then bingo, it Hit Me. The reason for a lack of satisfaction with focusing more of my efforts in the sales venue was philosophical. Yes, that was it. I had to know before I could launch my boat into the sales training marketplace again, that I have my motives straight and my message strong.
I know some of you career sales pro's have heard so many teachers of sales technique; that you have a built in "auto-dismiss button;" to sales process teachers. But at the core, what I really want is not just to help you with sales technique but more-so, sales fulfillment. After unleashing this idea in the post "A Student of The Game." My good friend @SteveGutzler helped me clarify next steps. He suggested that I turn the one article into two: this one on Passion & Purpose & another yet to come on Goals & Initiative. In 15 minutes, he gave a friend a warehouse of practical insight on how to get his professional motive straight and corresponding message strong. This BEAM is a result.
Passion & Purpose in the sales game. What's that all about for me??? I remember when my son TJ was a little boy that he played football in a local flag football league in Florida. I loved to go to practices and watch the boys play. I was always the crazy dad running up and down the sidelines; involved in every play..
Then at one practice, the coaches didn't show up. Some guy from the city filled in but he really didn't have his heart in it. The first game came and the guys got slaughtered. As the season progressed, the coaches rarely showed and when they did, it was with disinterest. Calls of complaining parents only got responses of "you will have to live with it." As the season progressed, the boys lost every game. Worse than that, they were brow beaten and demoralized. The last game of the season was to be against the league champs and things looked bleak. Especially when the coaches, nor the fill-in didn't show, at all to help the kids prepare in practice.
My passionate heart couldn't take it any more. Even though league officials told me no; I showed up with my tennis shoes and took over the coaching. And my first goal was to make the boys believe that I believed, that they could win. I developed 4 simple offensive and 4 simple defensive strategies that concentrated on the guys strengths. Strategies that I knew that we could learn together in a short time. They were all heart and came to believe not only that I believed but believed for themselves.
You guessed it! The same team that couldn't win a game, overwhelmingly beat the best team in the league for their last game. It just took somebody with a little knowledge, believing in them and coaching them, for that little group of guys to win.
You would have thought we won the league championship. Celebrating boys and parents had a jubilant display after the game, that I am sure lives on in their minds even today. I know it does, in my mind.
That exact strategy is what I want to do in the sales coaching field. With a little knowledge and a lot of belief; I want to coach sales people to win. Not only in numerical achievement but in fulfillment, because championships like that last forever and are beyond counting in dollars & cents.
That is what I care about and what I want to do. It is my passion and purpose.
In closing, I would like to challenge you to ask yourself the following questions; so that we can grow in this Pursuit of Being a better student of our sales game.
1- Do you sell with passion & purpose?
2- Do you have the training to improve your process?
3- Do you have good resources to inspire you to win?
You Must know the Answers to these questions to Passionately & Persistently win in Sales.
Stay tuned, the next beam is about Goals & Initiative. How will I pursue developing the mission to help you find more fulfillment, in your sales career?

Understanding Women's Mind Games
2- The Dating StageBroken dates
She breaks your date at the last minute or doesn't show up at all without a word of apology.
What's her mind game?: She knows that the one being pursued controls the course of the relationship and she wants to ensure that you dance to her tune early on. Many women play this game to see how desperate a man is. If you roll over and puppy-dog it at this point, you might as well just put a collar around your neck.
Waiting time
She's late or not ready when you pick her up for a date. Furthermore, this is a recurring issue.
What's her mind game?: She's trying to figure out how much she can get away with. She wants to be the one calling the shots; she wants you to run after her and wonder if she's really interested in you. Furthermore, if she makes you wait for her, she sends a clear signal that she values her time more than she does yours.
Expensive dates
She wants to go to the most expensive restaurant, the most exclusive club, the hottest play — and expects you to fund the whole thing without a whimper.
What's her mind game?: She's aware that you know that if you don't fork over the cash, you won't have a prayer of getting her into bed. To make matters worse, she might even do this if she has unequivocally no intention of having sex with you. Woe to you if you've already proven to her that you're desperate for sex — your credit card is going to be smoking.
No sex
She gets you hot and bothered and then backs off, or otherwise restricts access to sex.
What's her mind game?: This is a perfect example of manipulation and exultation of her sexual power over you, plain and simple. She might also play this game to extract more cash from your wallet (see previous point).
Serial flirt
She flirts with other men in front of you.
What's her mind game?: What she's doing is testing to see how interested you are and underscoring the fact that she's sexually desirable to other men (so you'd better toe the line).
Inconsistent wants
She says one thing, then does another. For example, she'll tell you that it doesn't matter where the two of you go or what you do, and then pout all night when you make the "wrong" choice.
What's her mind game?: She wants to be the one finding faults with you, and not the other way around. Of course, there's no way for you to know what the "right" choices are.
And for the finale, the games women play when you're settling in...

Cornerback Ike Taylor suffered a broken right forearm in the Steelers' victory over the Carolina Panthers.
Taylor made a break on a pass play and was struck on his right arm by teammate Lawrence Timmons, who was converging to make the tackle.
Taylor stayed down after the hit and was clearly in pain.
Ike Taylor grabbed his injured forearm and called for help from the sideline.
"Ike and I have been together for this thing for 11 years, and that's my brother, and I knew it was bad when I saw it happen," defensive end Brett Keisel said.
Trainers immediately rushed to Taylor's aid while he laid on the turf after the hit.
Taylor walked off the field for further treatment and did not return. He was seen wearing a hard cast after the game.
"That's your brother. I mean, you play with this guy for forever, you don't want to see that to your friend," Lawrence Timmons said about Ike Taylor's injury."I'm just praying that they have a healthy surgery and a safe recovery."

The bus was in the southbound lanes of I-279 when it went off the interstate and down the hillside.
A tow truck slowly pulled the Port Authority bus that rolled downhill off Interstate 279.

Location: 4766 Bayard St, Shadyside, PA
This home was built by the owner and is situated on a beautiful park like setting. The home includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and is featured on realtor.com.
According to Yahoo Finance, the cost of providing healthy meals for a family of four ranges from $131 a week for the thriftiest folks to $299 for liberal spenders.
Smart shoppers use coupons to save, but studies have shown that in many cases, coupon clippers end up spending more because they buy things they don't need.
A strategy to save money might be to skip buying some items altogether and finding alternatives for others.
1. Salad dressing: Bottled dressing often has more than a dozen ingredients and some have 120 calories per serving.
A better idea is to skip the dressing and make a light vinaigrette at home. Many use just three or four ingredients and taste fresher.
Another plus: You aren't left with bottles of half-used salad dressing filling up your refrigerator.
2. Gift credit cards: They are easy last-minute gifts, but some purchased at supermarkets come with hefty activation fees.
A gift card from the grocery store itself maybe a better option. It doesn't have the same fees.
3. Greeting cards: It's painful to buy greeting cards for $3 or $4. In many cases, there's a better alternative that costs pennies.
Amazon sells a 50-pack of colorful cards and envelopes for a bit more than $10. That works out to around 21 cents a card.
Cards from Amazon are blank -- but you can fill them with a hand-written note.
4. Name-brand spices: Even basics like cinnamon and garlic powder seem to get pricier all the time.
Consumer Reports ran a blind taste test using pricey name-brand spices versus cheaper generic versions in different recipes, and asked tasters to compare them. For the most part, the tasters couldn't tell them apart.
Skip the grocery store spices completely and head to the nearest health-food store where spices are sold in bulk. Buy just a small amount at a time -- it's much cheaper and keeps your spices fresher.
5. Pre-arranged flower bouquets: "I find that the pre-made grocery store bouquets are often less fresh," writes Faith Durand on the Apartment Therapy site. "They seem to wilt faster. Also, they are usually padded with a great deal of unnecessary greenery."
This doesn't mean you need to skip grocery store flowers altogether, however. Durand recommends just buying single varieties of flowers, looking for the freshest bunch with buds that aren't fully opened yet.
6. Party supplies: A trip to the dollar store is a must for party planning. You can buy just about everything you need there, from candles to cheap plastic tablecloths to helium balloons.
Grocery stores offer all of these items, along with the convenience of one-stop shopping, but you'll pay two or three times more.
7. Lunchables: Calories, fat and sugar do vary depending on the choice, but some have more sugar than your child should consume all day.
The healthier --- and less expensive -- alternative is a homemade turkey sandwich or leftover pasta.
8. Batteries: Grocery stores hit batteries with a steep markup and for good reason: When you need batteries, you often need them fast.
One of the best places to get batteries is in bulk at a warehouse club. Amazon can have some pretty good deals as well.
9. Bottled water: Bottled water can cost about 1,000 times more than water from a home faucet. And sometimes, bottled water is not any safer or cleaner than tap water.
Many people buy bottled water for the convenience and portability, but the environmental cost can be steep.
A better alternative is to buy several stainless steel water bottles and store them in the refrigerator for on-the-go use.
10. Diapers: The grocery markup on diapers is hefty because, like with batteries, when you need them, you really need them.
Warehouse clubs sell monster boxes of diapers at decent prices. You can find good deals on diapers at drugstores, too, but only when they have great sales

Agreed. Quote:
Neilson: Sargeras is still kicking around. You can't put him down.
Metzen: He's out there somewhere.
Neilson: He's not going to stay down for long.
Metzen: Yeah totally. And I think the hooks we had for his physical body, wherever it may be are so visually stunning that I think we have to… it's like low hanging fruit, we're going to have to bring him back somewhere. I'd be very disappointed in us if we didn't leverage him fully.
Medievaldragon: He would be like the ultimate encounter.
Neilson: Hmm… yes.

If the Oscars is the biggest night in Hollywood, then, the week leading up to it is the biggest week of speculation.
Right now, the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas says folks are betting that "12 Years a Slave" is most likely to win the top prize. Entertainment Weekly placed Lupita Nyoung'o and Kate Blanchett on its recent cover...indicating that the two ladies are the front runners for Best Supporting and Best Actress categories.
What do I say? I think only time will tell. Lisa Breck and I will be out at the Oscars Live...so that's when we'll tell you the real winners. Darn it, I can't resist. I think Jared Leto will win for Best Supporting Actor. That's the only guessing you'll get out of me!
We've got a big week on Good Day LA coming up. Barry Manilow will be joining us. Are you a "Fan-ilow"?? Sir Benjamin Kingsley will fill us in on his new short film for Marvel Studios.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on who should win at the Oscars. Hit me up on Twitter @JulieChang.

Fit Blogger We Love: The Fitnessista
Written on May 19, 2011 at 2:31 pm , by Marianne Magno
We've got to admit, The Fitnessista's appetizing food photos never fail to catch our attention when we scroll through our RSS feed. This week, we chatted with Gina, the personal trainer, group fitness instructor and girly-girl behind the blog, about dry shampoo (AKA post-gym lifesaver), workout mantras and yummy snacks she likes to call "Amazeballz."
I'm happiest when I'm: Dancing! Any type of dance or dance fitness: jazz, hip hop, Zumba, Dance Trance and dance cardio are my favorites, but I'm just as happy shaking it in my living room. It's one of those workout gems where you forget you're actually "working out" and burn a crazy amount of calories. Winner winner!
My fave fit snack: Amazeballz! These are high protein snacks that taste just like dessert. Amazeballz contain many of my favorite ingredients and are perfect to stash in your purse for grab-and-go. You can find the recipe here.
5 things I can't live without: 1) My husband (aka "The Pilot") and maltipoo, Bella, 2) Sun Warrior vanilla protein powder, 3) Lululemon Cool Racerback tanks, 4) almond butter (Nuttzo peanut-free rocks my world), 5) Buxom eyeliner.
My fitness mantra: "Change creates change." You can't keep doing the same thing and expect different results. Anything you can do to switch up your workout routine or eating habits will keep the body from kicking into cruise control. Change something and change will follow.
My gym bag must-have: Dry shampoo! As a fitness professional, I teach quite a few times each day and don't always have time to shower in between- sad, but reality. Dry shampoo has saved my life! I'll spray a little to my roots (Ojon is my fave brand) and comb through, and then blowdry the wet parts. It gets me through the day without feeling like a greaseball.

What's in Your Bag of Apps →
ReadWriteWeb Production Editor Abraham Hyatt puts together a list of his top 8 apps for journalists in 2010.
While the list is good and we recommend taking a look at it, this one caught our eye:
3: Simplenote
This is my second most-used tool of 2010. By itself, Simplenote, is, well, pretty simple. It's a note-taking app that syncs what you write — whether you're using a mobile device or a computer — live to the Web. It's been around for two years but got a very significant update (tags, versioning, word count, sharing) in August. Its real power lies in its ability to work with a host of other desktop and mobile apps and browser extensions. Once you link to one of those tools, you no longer have to pay attention to Simplenote. It stays in the background, instantly syncing what you write to the cloud.
For instance, I use an app called Notational Velocity for pretty much everything I write. I like it because it stores what I write within the app; I don't have any folders full of old documents. When I started using Notational Velocity I linked it to Simplenote and then forgot about Simplenote completely. But no matter where I go, no matter what computer or smartphone I use, I have access to everything I am working on or have written in the past.
We're Evernote fans ourselves but what tools do you use to keep organized and maintain sanity in the face of a firehose of information?

Wei-Yin Chen went 5 1-3 innings, allowing two runs on six hits. He walked two and struck out two.
It was the longest extra-inning game for the Mariners this season. They are 5-8 in extra innings.
Game notes
DH Jim Thome (neck) and LHP Troy Patton (ankle) are finishing rehab assignments at the Orioles' Sarasota facility and could rejoin the club this weekend in Boston. "They're both close," manager Buck Showalter said. "We'll make the call (Thursday)."
RH Miguel Gonzalez and RH Chris Tillman will start in Boston with the third starter to be decided.
Chen is just the fourth Orioles rookie pitcher since 1954 to make at least 30 starts. He joins Bob Milacki (36 in 1989), Tom Phoebus (33 in 1967) and Brian Matusz (32 in 2010).
Felix Hernandez was recognized before the game as the Mariners' nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award. "That's a great honor," manager Eric Wedge said. "Felix is the total package. To see what he does off the field, how he carries himself, how generous he is with his time, with people, it's well-deserved."
RHP Hector Noesi, shelled for six runs and eight hits in 1 1-3 innings Monday, is back in the bullpen for the rest of the season. RH Blake Beavan will fill his spot in the rotation, starting Saturday.
Michael Saunders was ejected in the 10th inning for disputing a called third strike.

|Post a Comment
Justin Smoak and Dustin Ackley each had three hits for the Mariners.
It appeared that Chen would breeze through the fourth after the first two batters bounced out to the infield. Casper Wells then drew a walk on a 3-2 pitch. Miguel Olivo followed with his 11th home run on a 1-2 curve from Chen, who had started him with four straight fastballs.
Ramirez retired the first nine batters before McLouth's leadoff single in the fourth, just tipping off the glove of second baseman Ackley. He then retired the next eight straight before McLouth's double to center in the sixth. Center-fielder Franklin Gutierrez caught the ball on a dive but it popped out of his glove on contact with the ground.
Ramirez, recalled from the minors on Sept. 1, matched his career high with eight innings. He allowed four hits and both runs were charged to him. He struck out six and walked no one.
Olivo caught the entire 18 innings.
"This is the first game I catch two games in one," he said.
Wedge said of Olivo, "Miguel is as tough as they come and his drive, his heart and his intensity are second to none. ... you feel for all your guys, but your guy is back there catching 18 innings and fighting through it all."

Alleged school bullying has prompted a fourth grader to sue another fourth grader in the suburban Mount Prospect area of Illinois. Contending he has been the victim of bullying which spanned his entire third grade year, Matthew and Deveri Del Core filed the suit Tuesday on behalf of their son Joaquin, naming a classmate identified only as "C.A.", along with the boy's parents, the school district, and the school's principal.

A suburban Illinois woman faces possible deportation and prison time after federal officials say she lied about her terrorist past. Federal investigators say Rasmieh Odeh, 66, was convicted in 1969 of participating in the terrorist bombings of a supermarket and the British consulate in Israel. Only one of the two bombs went off at the supermarket, killing two people and injuring several others. Israel authorities have said the attacks were planned by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Odeh was sentenced to life in prison in 1970, but was released 10 years later in a prisoner exchange with the Popular Front. Officials said that Odeh failed to tell U.S. officials of her past when she came to the U.S. from Jordan and became a citizen. She faces up to 10 years in federal prison if convicted, deporation back to Jordan and U.S. citizenship revocation. Get More at NBC Chicago

I've been meaning to post this for some time now but I kept forgetting to share it.
I came across this fashion plate and immediately recognized the gown.
Costume Parisien 1810
Evening dress worn by the Countess of Palfi, date missing (1810's?), Châteaux de Malmaison et Bois-Préau Malmaison.
Interesting to see the lining made of such a good fabric considering the lining was never seen and this was normally considered a waste of money and materials. Also, that is the most perfect pattern matching I have ever seen on a sack back.

Excerpt taken from Queen of Fashion: What Marie Antoinette Wore to the Revolution by Caroline Weber
" Designed for his 2000 Christian Dior "Masquerade and Bondage" collection, John Galliano's "Marie Antoinette" dress tells an unexpected story. True to the architecture of eighteenth-century court costume, the gown features tantalizing décolletage, a rigidly corseted waist, a ladder or échelle of flirty bows on the bodice, and a froth of flounced skirts inflated by petticoats and hoops. Its splendid excess evokes France's most colorful queen … even before one notices the embroidered portraits of the lady herself that adorn each of its hoop-skirted hip panels. (Plate 1.)
But the two portraits deserve a closer look, for it is they that tell the story. On the gown's left hip panel the designer has placed an image of Marie Antoinette in her notorious faux shepherdess's garb—a frilly little apron tied over a pastel frock, a decorative staff wound with streaming pink ribbons, and a mile-high hairdo obviously ill suited to the tending of livestock. In keeping with the Queen's frivolous reputation, the embroidered ensemble is more suggestive of Little Bo Peep than of lofty monarchical grandeur. On the right hip panel, Galliano offers a depiction of the same woman, also devoid of royal attributes, but this time in a mode more gruesome than whimsical. Here, she wears a markedly plain, utilitarian dress, with a simple white kerchief knotted around her throat and a drooping red "liberty bonnet"—the emblem of her revolutionary persecutors—clamped onto her brutally shorn head. This image portrays the consort trudging toward the guillotine, to lay her neck beneath its waiting blade."
(Does anyone know who the first picture belongs too? I pulled it off of Pinterest last week and the only link back was google images).
