If history is any guide, don't get worked up about these.
Below are the media picks for the past five years (the inception of the championship game), and what actually happened:
Year: media….actual
2009: Virginia Tech def. FSU…….GT def. Clemson
2008: Clemson def. Virginia Tech….VT def. Boston College
2007: Virginia Tech def. FSU….VT def. Boston College
2006: Miami def. FSU…..Wake Forest def. GT
2005: FSU def. VT……FSU def. VT
I didn't participate in the voting, so I think I can remark on some of these predictions objectively.
I don't have too many issues with the division predictions. I predicted that it would be a Virginia Tech-FSU matchup and it that turned out to be true. Of course, one didn't need a lot of insight to make that pick.
I am surprised by the disparity in voting for ACC player of the year, specifically that Ponder was so far ahead of the pack.
He has unbelievable stats in his career, but he hasn't won anything. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Nor was his team picked to win the ACC.
As good as Russell Wilson is, his team will likely not be competitive.
I am very much surprised that Nesbitt and Harris finished so low.
What say you?

Truth is, four teams have a chance to win the division. Picking the jackets third hardly qualifies as being 'haters.'

Pretty much what ormewood said. There are 4 teams that have a pretty good chance of winning the coastal. Its a little difficult to actually pick the winner at this point. I expect VT to be the team that gets picked the most but I would imagine you will see GT ranked 1,2,3, or 4. It just depends on who you ask.

VT's a consistently good team, and it's no surprise that Miami is considered a sexy pick this year. If Harris can cut down on the mistakes, they've got a chance to be very good. Besides, a lot of the media that doesn't primarily cover GT only sees what we lost in the offseason, not what we still have here.
Besides, preseason rankings are really just a beauty contest. In my opinion, the one think the BCS does right is not releasing rankings until several weeks into the season. With the polls, you almost always see one team that started off ranked highly and has to lose 2 or 3 games in the first half of the season to drop out of the polls just because people expected them to be good. College football would be a lot better if it had some way of ranking the teams based solely on performance on the field rather than pre-conceived notions.

Wow that media sure goes out on a limb. They've picked the same teams to win it 5 out of 6 years. And once again it's VT FSU. Which means neither team will make it. UNC Clemson more likely
July 26th, 2010
12:10 pm
The coastal division will be close between ga tech, vt, miami, and north carolina. Any of these 4 teams could possibly win the division. I think Va Tech is the team to beat since Ga Tech has to go up to Blacksburg and play a night game there.
July 26th, 2010

GT has to play at VT, at NC, at Clemson…If they win the division they will have earned it

I agree with most on here, you could have GT 1-4 depending on who you ask. I personally see a 2 team race between VT and GT. Miami is over-hyped and I watched some of the UNC spring game and they have the worst QB I have ever seen, makes Joe Cox look like John Elway. UNC's defense will keep them in games.

Jones Miami in 2001 was arguably the best team in college football history. They were ranked in the top 5 as recently as 2004…when GT upset them in Miami. Not a Miami fan…but they have been a dang good program since the 1980s. It all went downhill after Coker started playing with his own players and not Butch Davis recruited player…I think Shannon has them on the right track academically and athletically. Tech can beat them though…we gotta protect our house like we did in 2008. That was a fun game.
July 26th, 2010
12:39 pm
Hate to admit it – but Virginia Tech plays consistently good football every year and they have dominated the conference since they entered. They have been "the team to beat for years" We beat them last year to win the title, and if we really deserve it – we will beat them again this year. Preseason predictions don't determine the ACC Champion – conference play does.

What a waste of effort. If all this meant anything, we could just let Bama and Ohio State go ahead and play for the NC, and cancel the rest of the season. Anybody for that? (Didn't think so….)

Every few years there are bound to be a handful of discoveries that fall out of the norm, and these breakthroughs often prove how far certain industries have come. Check out these unusual and jaw-dropping scientific findings, from eco-friendly cremations to belugas that imitate human voices.
Batteries Powered by Bodily Fluids
Here's a strange way to generate energy: harnessing urine and blood. A battery dubbed "NoPoPo," short for No Pollution Power, is an eco-friendly power solution that can run on just a few drops of liquids, including beer. While water may be the conventional choice to charge this recyclable and rechargeable battery, those in dire situations or stranded without H20 may turn to bodily fluids.
According to Japan Trend Shop, NoPoPo owners can use a dropper to "suck a liquid of choice" and inject it into the battery cavity for a charge. The device, developed by Aqua Power System, involves a combination of magnesium and carbon that relies on a fluid to produce power.
Unfortunately, these batteries don't last as long as standard alkaline batteries. While the life span of AA alkalines can range from 1,700 to 3,000 milliamp hours, NoPoPos lose charge after 500, according to Technabob.
The good news for eco-friendly consumers is that the battery is constructed with 100 percent non-toxic materials.
A Whale that Imitates Human Voices
Researchers at the National Marine Mammal Foundation (NMMF) found that a beluga whale could mimic human speech. The study dates back to 1984, when a white whale named NOC was recorded vocalizing sounds that were strangely similar to those made by humans.
While in NOC's enclosure tank, a diver confused the whale noises with a human command. Marine scientists rewarded NOC with snacks to prompt him to "speak," and discovered that the whale was able to imitate a human voice by adjusting the air pressure in his nasal tract, LiveScience explains. Research also showed that NOC's mimicry sounds were several octaves lower than typical whale sounds, and much closer to the human range.
"The whale's vocalizations often sounded as if two people were conversing in the distance," Dr. Sam Ridgway, NMMF president and co-author of the study's findings, said.
The researchers indicated that the beluga mimicry is an example of "vocal learning" that developed through captivity and a close association with humans. While there have been other reports of beluga speech, this was the first case where the marine mammal (who has since passed away) was studied so closely— in air and underwater.
Here's a clip of NOC mimicking human speech:
Eco-Friendly Corpse Dissolving Machine
Our environmental impact continues even after death, but a new alternative to cremation allows the deceased to leave a smaller carbon footprint. Resomation Ltd, the Scottish company that pioneered the process, claims that the method is a response to growing eco-awareness. It's marketed as Bio-Cremation in the U.S., where it's been approved for commercial use.
During the "Resomation process," a corpse is placed into a Resomator, a chamber that uses water and alkaline hydrolysis to break down the body chemically instead of burning it. Such a method reduces any chemical emissions that are tied to traditional cremations. The entire process takes up to 3 hours, converting tissue and muscle into an organic liquid that is ultimately put into municipal water treatment facilities. According to the company, there are no traces of DNA found in the fluid. The remaining bones are cremated and returned to families.
According to Discovery News, the corpse-dissolving process has been used at the Mayo Clinic and the University of Florida for the disposal of medical cadavers. Meanwhile, a Florida funeral home has become one of the first to operate the machines.
Implants that Control Your Mind
Dr. Jose Manuel Rodriguez Delgado was a neurophysiologist who created the stimoceiver, an implant that could control minds by picking up radio waves emitted by a wireless transmitter. The Yale professor tested his invention on everything from apes to humans, but his most notable experiment was with a bull.
In a daring scientific stunt, the doctor entered a bullring, putting himself in the path of a bull that had a stimoceiver implanted in its brain. When he pressed a remote control, he was able to maneuver the bull's mind and stop the beast from charging.
"A whole series of motor functions can be triggered based on which button the experimenter pushes," Delgado told Cabinet Magazine. "This applies to all body parts: front and back paws, the tail, the hind parts, the head and the ears."
Dr. Delgado also used electrical and radio stimulation to influence the behavior of patients, and trigger "joy and friendliness."
Haunted House Fear Experiment
One cardiologist has proven that people don't have to partake in a scary event in order for blood pressure to spike. Just the anticipation of fear can trigger hypertension. In his experiment, Dr. Nathan Foster measured the blood pressure of people standing in line for a haunted house exhibit.
"Just waiting for their nightmare to begin, he found, had already set their bodies' fear response systems into overdrive, with blood pressure way above the normal 120/80," according to Psychology Today.
After the subjects went through the haunted house, Dr. Foster found that their heart rates rose to 150-160 beats per minute, much higher than the normal range of 60-70. Yet perhaps the most astounding finding was that a person's health can change just waiting for a known scary event—something to keep in mind while waiting in line for a horror flick or roller coaster ride.

I loved the claw candlesticks until I saw that it was $62 for the smallest one alone, not $62 for the set of 4. It'd cost nearly $350 for the set. /sadpuppyface
To me, all this stuff seems ridiculously over priced!
I wouldn't do the chair, and I'd put something else under the bell jar, but I could definitely enjoy this room (maybe with a higher backed sofa). I like the lucite beetle, but I think it's too small in real life to have the intended impact - maybe a print like this http://flyingtrilobite.redbubble.com/sets/160540/works/8917610-xenorhipus-jewel-beetle instead.
Of course I wouldn't want to actually *buy* most of these things at those prices, but I like the inspiration.
Quiet a dramatic look but loving the sofa!!
I actually liked the mood board more. This is just kind of silly.
Love the style name you came up with, fits perfectly. But oh, that pink couch! My sister swears she was Marie Antoinette in another life, & part of the reason I believe her is I know I was at court myself. Not quite a queen mind you, but certainly the queens sister. All this stuff is just too familiar to me. All the women in my family have always been nuts about French Provencial(sp) (too tired to even attempt to correct my typos right now, I do apologize, but moving is waaayyyy more stressful than I remember) style, pieces, what have you. Perhaps this is why I am so poor today. I am not & have never been a very materialistic person, but
true quality gets me every time.
I will dream of that couch.......

Weed & pest management featured at University of Missouri field day near Columbia.
In many areas, this growing season featured ample -- if too much -- moisture coupled with summertime heat. Moisture and heat units are a perfect prescription for crop growth. Unfortunately, these conditions are also perfect for weeds, too. Earlier this summer, University of Missouri (MU) weed scientists talked about weed management at an MU Bradford Research Facility field day near Columbia, Missouri.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Ricky Nolasco could very likely be making the final start of his career for the Marlins at AT&T Park when he takes the mound there on Friday against the Giants.
It might not be Nolasco's final start there this season, though.
The Giants are among the handful of teams interested in Nolasco as a possible acquisition target before the July 31 trade deadline, and for reasons that go beyond their need for rotation help.
Nolasco has owned AT&T.
Nolasco has gone 4-0 with a 0.83 ERA in four lifetime starts at the Giants' ballpark by the bay.
"I wish I could tell you what it was," said Nolasco, who will be taking on two-time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum. "If I knew what it was, I'd try to do it in every ballpark."
Nolasco has 80 career wins for the Marlins — most of any pitcher in franchise history — and is closing in on 1,000 strikeouts. He needs only 13 more to reach that milestone.
But Nolasco, who began his career with the Marlins in 2006 and is set for free agency after the season, has never pitched for a contender. He could very well receive that opportunity this season given that contending teams are the ones calling the Marlins to ask about Nolasco.
Nolasco is uncomfortable talking about where he might end up, repeatedly saying it's out of his control and how he's concentrating on the here and now.
But the idea of pitching for a contender — and for San Francisco, in particular — brings a smile to his face. Nolasco hails from Southern California, so a trade to the Giants would put him closer to home.
"I don't think anybody would be disappointed to come to San Francisco," Nolasco said. "I like everything about this place. It's a good place to pitch. The crowd's great. Great team. So what's not to like?"
Nolasco has often said in the past that he performs better when he can feel energy in a ballpark, something that's been lacking for him in South Florida. That could help to explain his 48-36 road mark compared with a 32-35 record at home.
And crowds at AT&T are large and vocal.
"I think it would help anybody being able to pitch in a place like this," he said. "When the crowd is behind you, it's huge. Anybody would like that."
Time to rest
Jose Fernandez said he won't argue when the Marlins tell him it's time to shut it down for the season. But Fernandez, who is halfway to the innings limit the organization has placed on the rookie, said his arm feels "great" at the moment.
"I love to compete, and I love to pitch," said Fernandez, who turned in a career-high 7 1/3 innings in Wednesday's outing in Arizona. "At the same time, I know they're protecting me and doing the best they can for the team and the future."
Fernandez has now totaled 79 1/3 innings, and is being allowed to pitch deeper into games. He eclipsed 100 pitches for the first time in each of his past two starts.
The Marlins have said they don't want the 20-year-old throwing more than 150 to 170 innings this season, his first in the majors.
Fernandez noted that when he totaled 134 innings last season in the minors, he felt better at the end of the season than he did at the beginning.
"I was feeling incredible," he said. "I was feeling a lot stronger — a lot better — than when the year started."
• Henderson Alvarez will make a rehab start Saturday for Double A Jacksonville and throw up to 85 pitches. Alvarez could be given one more rehab outing after that before the Marlins activate him from the disabled list, place him on their roster and stick him in the starting rotation.
Coming up
• Friday: Marlins RHP Nolasco (4-7, 3.61 ERA) at San Francisco Giants RHP Lincecum (4-7, 4.57), 10:15 p.m., AT&T Park.
• Saturday: Marlins RHP Jacob Turner (1-0, 2.16) at Giants LHP Barry Zito (4-5, 4.67), 4:05 p.m., AT&T Park.
• Scouting report: Lincecum, who last had a winning record in 2010, has lost six of his past seven decisions this season for the Giants. Against the Marlins, Lincecum is 2-1 with a 3.67 ERA in four career starts.

now if people would only learn that they don't have to undercut by obscene amounts to make their items sell first. if people want a shard they're going to take the first one on the list whether it's posted at 1 copper less than the next of 5 gold. huge undercuts only drive the market into the dirt so no one makes any money.

This movie is very twisted. It involves the viewer. As a viewer, you are drawn into and made to feel as if you were a part of the movie. I would highly recommend this movie to everybody. It is a really good movie. Watch it now why don't ya.

The dilemma of not knowing can be the best dilemma of all. In "not knowing" - the unexpected becomes a surprise for us to pine over. Joy becomes more obtainable when we live without expectation. In expectation, one is always trying to figure out outcomes. Then, when a chosen outcome does not take place, frustration and depression take the place of peace and happiness.
Learning to live and let others live is not always easy, especially when one has held on to dependency. Dependency can become the walls to one's prison, not allowing freedom to come and go. Dependency to people, places, and things can become an addiction that only gets stronger with time. To resist dependency is to learn independence - everyone's freedom. Independence is not isolation. Independence allows the freedom of self with a healthy interconnection to others.
We all need independence, but cannot live wholly without interconnection to others. Interconnection forms community. Community forms populations. Populations form movements in history, both good and bad. In being aware of our independence, each one influences their histories.

Fun, I just got hit by this flaw in ElasticSearch.
Fun, I just got hit by this flaw in ElasticSearch.
I made this pull request but the author of the library thinks that not bothering to check HTTP status codes is acceptable.
So my code goes from:
1 2 3
request_token, request_token_secret = self.oauth.get_request_token(method="POST") auth_token = self.oauth.get_access_token(request_token, request_token_secret,method="POST") self.session = self.oauth.get_session(auth_token)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
from rauth.service import process_token_request from rauth.utils import parse_utf8_qsl rsp = self.oauth.get_raw_request_token(method="POST") rsp.raise_for_status() request_token, request_token_secret = process_token_request(rsp, parse_utf8_qsl, "oauth_token","oauth_token_secret") rsp = self.oauth.get_raw_access_token(request_token, request_token_secret, method="POST") rsp.raise_for_status() auth_token = process_token_request(rsp, parse_utf8_qsl, "oauth_token", "oauth_token_secret") self.session = self.oauth.get_session(auth_token)
It's not horrible, but really, why would you ever think it's OK to not handle errors?
I've been writing an API for a little project I've been working on for a while, and in searching for a not-horrible way to do OAuth1 authentication, I actually found a Python library that doesn't suck.
Of course, it's not perfect. I noticed today that it doesn't actually handle HTTP error responses - it doesn't even check the return code at all, just assumes that any response it's given will be parseable. Which of course is not at all true in many cases - including in mine.
So of course I've forked it and am working on a fix.
Found another bug and made a pull request - this time in the 'rauth' library, which does OAuth in a reasonable sane way.
Except for this issue - I still have no idea why they're trying to parse the OAuth response with a utility used for parsing HTTP requests, but hey, I guess if it works for them, fine.
For me though, I need to replace their use of parse_utf8_qsl(s) with json.loads(s.decode()) because my response is proper JSON - shouldn't OAuth responses be JSON anyway?
Whatever, it's late.
EDIT: Okay so it turns out I was doing silly things like not reading the OAuth spec and the response should be a query-string type thing like oauth_token=foo&oauth_token_secret=bar instead, which is what the library parses just fine by default. Reading specs is a good plan, one I encourage everyone to do.
My pull request is still valid though, if you really must break the spec, they have the parser argument already, and it should work in a more sensible way.
Another bugfix for s3cmd.
Bugfix for s3cmd - some issues with command-line arguments not working when I needed them to.
Today I created a program to pull data from the RSS feeds our service vendors use for alerts, and either log, email, or instant message (we use Hipchat) to various support groups.
AND, I open sourced it on github. Enjoy!
More python 3.3 porting, this time an interesting Redis ORM.
EDIT: Changed my mind, someone else has started a 3.3 port which looks like a way better method: mayfield/rom.
Nearly 2 years to the day after I submitted this issue with the 'draw9patch' tool in the Android SDK to Google, the issue is still open.
I only mention this because it seems the owner of the ticket has changed today.
Way to go, Google.
I'm trying to pitch changing to PostgreSQL at work, so I had to figure this out today.
To export:
1 2 3
for i in table1 table2 ; do mysql --batch -e "SELECT * FROM $i" > $i.csv done
To import:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
for f in *.csv; do TABLE=${f%.*} tail -n +2 $f | \ sed -e 's/\r/\\r/g' \ -e 's/\\0//g' \ -e 's/0000-00-00 00:00:00/NULL/g'| \ iconv -t "utf-8" -f "utf-8" -c | \ psql -c "COPY \"$TABLE\" FROM stdin WITH NULL 'NULL'" done
Note the sed command to remove backslash-zero - as this is an escaped dump, that will be converted into a null character, which is not allowed in a string. Also one row I saw had the "zero date" shown there - pretty sure this date never happened, so I'm calling it 'NULL'.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) – A 19-year old Worth County girl died from her injuries in a car crash. Marli Davis turned into the path of an SUV in southern Worth County Wednesday night.
Troopers say Davis was headed south on TV Tower Road in a Honda Accord, and as she attempted to turn onto Evergreen Road, she pulled into the path of a Ford Expedition.
The Expedition hit her car on the driver's side. Davis was rushed to a hospital where she spent the night on life support and was pronounced dead this afternoon.
Davis Carter, who lives nearby, was the first on the scene of the crash.
Marli Davis' boyfriend, 22-year-old Zackery Blake Walden was in the car with her and was hurt, but troopers say his injuries are not life threatening.
Friends say they were on the way to church when the wreck happened.
Troopers say the driver of the Expedition, 46-year old Jeffrey Alan Campbell was not seriously injured.

The other night, I was out at a filmmaking event focused on Horror Filmmakers. This is an arena I am interested in because I totally enjoy making zombie movies. And in my conversations, I can't tell you how many other filmmakers talked about DIY and Self Distribution as if it was a new concept or a last resort.
Personally, I can't stand it when I hear the terms self distribution, and DIY.
To explan why, let me use my frozen yogurt analogy. I happen to love frozen yogurt – I'm addicted. But anyway, let's say I someday decide to realize my dream of owning my own frozen yogurt shop. Part of making my shop a success would involve marketing and sales.
Let me ask you this – In the yogurt shop context, would I hire some other company to handle my sales and marketing? In exchange, would I pay their expenses and give them more than 40% of my margins? And if I decided not to go that idiotic route, would I then describe my activity as Do It Yourself?
"Well, I opened this yogurt shop and decided to do all the sales and marketing myself…"
Why should your movie business be any different than a yogurt shop? You created your movie. Thanks to the internet, you can now access the same VOD marketplaces as the BIG distributors (iTunes and Amazon) – so why on earth would you lock up your VOD rights for 7 years or more?
I don' t get it. If you do, please comment.

This post was cowritten by our summer intern, Samantha Tuly.
Starbucks recently announced the addition of the Starbucks College Achievement Plan to its already impressive portfolio of employee benefits. The partnership with Arizona State University will enable Starbucks employees to earn a bachelor's degree for free through online courses.
It's a brilliant PR move. Customers who have long loved Starbucks coffees, cappuccinos and iced mochas have the added bonus of knowing that their purchases are helping educate baristas throughout the country – some of whom are the first in their families to obtain a college degree. (Cue images of the American dream.)
But Starbucks knows that the new education plan is a strategic move for its employer brand and ultimately the…

Denver Police Ticketing Supply Drop-Offs And Bail Info
November 14, 2011 in Uncategorized
Word is coming in that in the continued effort to squash Occupy Denver by any means necessary, the Denver Police Department is ticketing donors who drop off supplies for the demonstrators. Apparently a donation must be hand-delivered, and the car from whence the donation comes must be parked, not temporarily stopped with hazards flashing. Please park your car and walk in donations. If this is not possible, please contact us for assistance.
3:00 pm update and correction:
Regarding arrests, the way the state has interacted with our legal team is suspicious, to say the least. A few details include the supposed temporary failure of the NCIS computer network which processes bail, therefore unnecessarily prolonging jail stays and creating a window of time sufficient for a judge to drastically increase bail amounts. Additionally, members of the legal team were not permitted to do their job to post bail and were removed from the facility late last night.
Like I said, squash by any means necessary.
Please contact Governor Hickenlooper via the Citizen's Advocate office by filling out this form or call:

I'm couldn't think of anything else to call them, so Booples seemed fitting. I'm thinking of painting these guys on three pretty decent sized panels. Most likely will use acrylics, since I'm ok with them. Any thoughts and ideas?

I guess going by country could work, but it's not that difficult to proxy yourself into another country. I have friends that have used a proxy to make themselves appear as if they are in russia among other things.
Really, the best way to ensure your account is safe is to BE safe. All the authenticators in the world aren't going to protect you if you click on every suspicious link you find.
Get a good solid, regularly updated anti virus, anti-spyware, and DON'T click on random links.
If in doubt, don't click. Simply. Then the only attacks that will happen to you are the result of targeted attacks, which are much rarer and less likely than attacks you bring upon yourself.

Shepard Fairey & Caesar, Xiaoqing Ding, Adam Wallacavage, WK InteractJuxtapoz // Wednesday, 03 Dec 2008
Jonathan LeVine Gallery will be participating in Art Miami, from December 4-7th, with some very exciting exhibits at both Scope Art Fair and Aqua Art Fair in the Wynwood Art District.
At Scope, a solo exhibition by Shepard Fairey promises to bring the crowds to booth 370, and at Aqua Ray Caesar, Xiaoqing Ding and Adam Wallacavage will grace Booth 7, while WK Interact will have Booth 8 all to himself.
Learn more on these participating artists...
Shepard Fairey was born in Charleston, SC in 1970. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles. In 1989, as a student at the Rhode Island School of Design, Fairey launched an ambitious campaign of stickers featuring the wrestler Andre the Giant and became internationally known using the slogan The Medium is the Message in his Obey Giant street campaign. In the two decades since then, his artwork has been exhibited in numerous galleries, museums and collections around the world. His propaganda has grown into a design empire, encompassing stickers, posters, clothing, skateboards, stencil-based street art, and film. Founder of Studio Number One, a design firm in Los Angeles, and co-founder of Swindle magazine, Fairey has worked with numerous high-profile corporate accounts. In 2005 he was a resident artist at The Contemporary Museum in Honolulu. More recently, he designed the iconic Hope graphic for Presidential elect Barack Obama used during the candidate's campaign in 2007-2008. In 2009, a mid-career survey of Shepard Fairey's work over the past 20 years will be the subject of a museum exhibition at The Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston.
Ray Caesar
Ray's passion for drawing emerged at an early age. Coupled with inspiration from the dreamlike works of Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dali and Paul Cadmus, Ray's experiences present themselves through his haunting, evocative scenes which are all digitally created. Creating models in a 3D modeling software called Maya, he wraps them in painted and manipulated texture maps. Each model is set up with an invisible skeleton that allows him to pose each figure in a 3D environment. Digital lights and cameras are added to simulate shadows and reflections, completing the effect of a mysterious and strange alternate world.
Xiaoqing Ding
Originally from China, Xiaoqing Ding's artwork is inspired by a fusion of her eight years of traditional Asian Arts training in Beijing, and her recent exposure to American culture. The result is a captivating mixture of old world technique and modern subject matter. Working with Egg Tempera, Silverpoint, and pastel, her sometimes overtly sexual imagery explores the nature of identity and personal politics. She references ideas from Chinese and Greek mythology, European fairytales and Medieval studies, resulting in a body of dark and mysterious works which focus on timeless sentiments and the personal struggle between good and evil.
Adam Wallacavage
Inspired by an obsession with the ocean and a fascination with extravagant interiors of old churches, Adam Wallacavage transformed the dining room of his South Philadelphia Victorian Brownstone into something from the pages of a Jules Verne novel. Teaching himself the ancient art of ornamental plastering, Adam evolved his new found skills into making plaster cast octopus shaped chandeliers. Not content with leaving the chandeliers to his own home, Adam continued his experimentation by making more and more. He changed the shapes and colors and even collaborated with famed jewelry designer, Tarina Tarantino, who supplied the beautiful pearls for his pink glitter chandelier featured in his first showing at Jonathan LeVine Gallery in June of 2006.
WK Interact was born in 1969 in Caen, France. He currently lives and works in New York. At a young age, WK was interested with the human body in motion, his paintings of figures frozen in a flight of movement reflects this infatuation. The artist's technique of twisting an original drawing or photograph while it's being photocopied results in the monochromatic palette and streamlined moment-in-time appearance of his finished work.

One person is dead and two others are injured following a weekend 2-vehicle crash in Butler County.
Alabama State Troopers say the crash happened around 6:20 a.m. Saturday at the 136 mile marker of Interstate 65. That's approximately seven miles north of Greenville.
Investigators say Kim Marie Riebe, 46, of Gulf Shores was killed when the 1997 Chevrolet pickup she was riding in collided with a 1999 Peterbilt driven by Ronald Davis, 42, of Loxley.
Authorities say Riebe was not wearing a seat belt and died on the scene. Davis was not injured.
The driver of the pickup, Ronald Riebe, 39, along with another passenger, Matthew Davies, 25, both of Gulf Shores, were transported to an area hospital for treatment of their injuries.
The cause of the crash is under investigation by the Alabama State Troopers.

- Never assume you already have baking powder in the house when wandering over to Waitrose for ingredients the night before for a last minute cake.
- Never wait until gone 10:30pm before starting to make a cake when you've had everything (well, nearly) you need in hand since 5pm. That way if you can't find the sodding baking powder that you thought you had but now you come to think of it, probably took to Bristol, you can still nip out to the shops and get some and your cake can have overnight to settle before icing.
- Do your decorations when you say you will and as early as possible to give them time to dry out. It also gives you plenty of time to try and find your cutters in the darkest depths of the room-of-doom so you're not panicking like crazy the next morning when you can't find them, remembering again that most of them are in Bristol because you thought you'd start on the sugarcraft again (but still haven't got around to it yet).
- If you believe that you really have got baking powder somewhere then double-check all your ridiculous hiding places so that you don't feel a fool when you come across it the next morning while looking for your icing smoothers.
I got there in the end but if I was more organised it would have been done by lunchtime and I've have had all afternoon to do bugger all whilst the menfolk were out getting trousered at the pub.
The big blue flower was made from petal paste and cut using a Wilton flower cookie cutter. The edges were ruffled on a foam pad and three large flowers using graduating colours (Sugarflair Ice Blue) were made. I originally intended something simple with a single ruffled flower with three pearls in the middle which I had seen elsewhere. I was going to attach it to the side of the cake rather than the top with maybe some smaller ones cascading down from it.
The cookie cutter was rather large in comparison to those though so the pearls would have been swamped. The smaller flowers were cut with a blossom cutter as a back up in case everything went 'orribly wrong.
Once the edges of the larger flowers had dried a little I experimented with stacking them together instead and decided it looked a lot better instead of singly. It didn't look right against the side of the cake so I attached it to the top instead with a ball of fondant to help it sit at an angle. I added to the inscription and attached the remaining flowers around the edge.

Help! My first visit to Pike Place Market.
I'll be there next week and it will be my very first stop on my vacation. What's not to miss? Looking for some good prepared foods/lunch, but also any other items that I should pack in the cooler for the rest of my trip. Anything else in the immediate area for a relatively inexpensive, but uniquely Seattle experience?
What is unique to the area that might be good to bring home to friends and family?
Maybe some huckleberry or marionberry jam and smoked northwest salmon would be good food gifts for your friends and family back home? I like stopping by the Beecher's cheese store (I don't honestly know if that is unique to Seattle), get some Dungeness Crab, watch the fish guys do their thing, browse the Native American crafts and artwork, there are lots of fabulous northwest-centered restaurants in the market... just search through these boards and you will get numerous suggestions! Have fun!
Go to the first starbucks ever there in the Pike market. dunno if the coffee is any better but the experience is pretty cool + all those people are ordering their drinks very specifically is entertaining.
I enjoyed the donut vendor near the entrance of the pike market...also the fruit rolls.
They also do some decent baked ham bao (sio pao) at one of the chinese restaurants there.
1. Daily Dozen Doughnut Company, 93 Pike Street, Suite 7, Seattle, WA 98101-2052. --There is a serpentine queue for the mini doughnuts on weekends, so get in the line as fast as U can.
2. Matt's in the market - nice lunch place.
3. There is a Mediterranean shop for schwarma's and other goodies and the food there is great too. You can get it to go and walk around pike's. (Sorry, I don't remember the name- It is on the same strip as Le Panier).
4. Le Panier - is my favorite French bakery, anything that looks good, tastes good.
5. Piroshky, Piroshky – for Russian goodies. (Anthony Bourdain was here for his NW segment of No Reservations). The Piroshky is not so great IMHO, but it is a good eat nevertheless.
6. Uli's Sausages - the best in town
7. The original starbucks store.
You can check out this link too....
Hope this helps. Let us know about the places you enjoyed. Have a great trip.
re: foodieduo
I can always spend a bunch of money at DeLaurenti--on cheese, or sliced meats, or wine, or any of a hundred other exotic goodies. They're a great place to pick up ingredients for a picnic lunch, or to take back to your hotel for later. My other favorite lunches at the Market are curry beef buns at Mee Sum Pastry, mac and cheese at Beecher's, or a grilled sausage from Uli's.
Good stuff to take back to the folks at home could include smoked salmon (any of several Market vendors), Chukar Cherries (their stall is near the middle of the Main Arcade), dried apple chips (from the stall near the pig, across from the fish-throwing guys), hazelnuts (there is usually a vendor in the day stalls in the north end of the Main Arcade), or Washington wine (DeLaurenti, Pike and Western Wine Shop, or the Tasting Room on Post Alley). The day stalls are usually good for other local goodies--honey, preserves, beef jerky, and other items, depending on who's there that day.
Try to get down into the Underground part of the Market, below the level of Pike Place under the Main Arcade. They don't have much food down there, but it's full of odd, funky, unique little shops that help give the place its personality. Most tourists miss this part of the Market on their first visit.
If you really want to experience the Market, take a tour. The Market Foundation offers Market Heritage Tours Wednesday - Saturday mornings--see http://www.pikeplacemarket.org/. For a slightly different view of the Market, its history, and its apparently-permanent residents, there's also a Pike Place Market Ghost Tour http://www.seattleghost.com/about/.
is a post I did once, but google "mrnelso pike place" for others
And, since one of my specialties is inexpensive and I'm not shy, just click on mrnelso wherever you find it on chowhound to browse many comments about Pike Place places and other reasonable eats.
There have been a number of pretty detailed threads on the Pike Place Market in the last six months or so; do a search for some more ideas. Enjoy the market!
A MUST is Place Pigalle, a very quaint french bistro tucked behind the main fish tossing monger place in the market. It has a wonderful view of Elliot Bay and absolutely fantastic food/atmosphere. It has been a Seattle favorite for over 25 years and has recently sold. There was a great review of it in the Seattle Times the other day. We visited last month and it is still wonderful!
re: epicuriously
Pike Place Market places NOT to miss!:
1. Breakfast with Bloody Mary's @ Lowell's, 2nd floor, overlooking either the produce stalls of the market (Arcade side) or overlooking the Seattle Waterfront...best view, awesome breakfast quesadillas & blueberry pancakes and wild smoked salmon scrambles!
2. ZIG ZAG Bar on the hillclimb steps in the market, tucked away in a hidden corner, a true alchemists bar with one of a kind elixers!
3. Dinner with cabaret show at The Pink Door, hidden away up on Post Alley in the market.Women swinging from trapezes over your table! Great food.
4. The CanCan Room...another hidden gem (these places are all authentic original off the hook places, only in Seattle, but close to each other.
5. Sunset from the 3rd floor of Lowell's with a handmade cocktail or Washington wine or microbrew and steamer clams.
As a local that is just starting to discover the Market I have liked the following for stops-
Uli's sausage- order and sit on the wall and people watch :)
the famous doughnuts- get the sampler
Bavarian Meats- It is hidden in a collection of shops/restaurants that you must go into the building to find- It is right by Emmit Watson's Oysters and at the end of the market street heading towards belltown- order some langjager(best meat stick) from the two german ladies and browse the euopean food- it is awesome- promise!
Market Spice- get some good tea or browse the fun shop for something to take home with you
DeLaurenti- It is a must- plan on exploring the export food shop for a long time!
Angela Shen provides culinary tours at the Pike Place Market every morning as part of Savor Seattle Tours. It's a 2+ hour tour with lots of history, snacks and wine tasting along the way. It's a great way to be shown around the market while getting enough food that you could probably skip breakfast and lunch. I believe that the cost is under $40. Savorseattletours.com is the website.
re: TruDiner
northgate community center offers saturday 'chef's tours' of the market from 11am to 2pm which conclude with a sit-down lunch for $50 - the guide is a retired chef and sits on the market historic commission - firstname.lastname@example.com or (206)684-7080

All the flavors of a Greek pizza make these savory muffins bite-size treats for adults and kids alike.
@Keostberg, I think it's quite possible to make it with mozarella. It's the same as choosing a different kind of topping on your pizza.
can i also eat this for supper will that be ok
This sounds like a great morning snack to take to work with me. Sometimes easting fruit or protein snacks can get a little boring. This sounds like a great way to shake things up a notch. I'm going to freeze some of them and see how they do. Cookies are great at freezing so I don't know why muffins shouldn't be either.
oh and use skim milk..u wont even taste the difference
what a rip..for a mini muffin?! try using fat free feta and use egg whites instead of eggs. you cut tons of fat and calories and u can have a bigger muffin
These are ONE POINT on the new Weight Watcher Plan! awesome! :)
these sound really good. has anybody made them yet?
Do you think these would freeze well? They sound delicious!
The serving size isn't too "obvious". I'm guessing the N.I. is for 1 mini muffin. Sounds yummy but I'm guessing I'd have to freeze these so I'd behave & not eat the batch! LOL
BTW.. KEOSTBERG - Feta and mozzarella are no where NEAR the same style or type of cheese so I'd venture to say NO you cannot substitute.
this sounds awesome. I get so tired of raw vegetables and fruit that doesn't satisfy - this would probably be exactly what i need to make it between meals!
I don't like feta cheese. Can I replace it with mozzarella cheese?
the whole recipe makes 24 (2 dozen), 2-tablespoon size, mini-muffins. So the nutrition information listed is for 1 mini-muffin....at least that's how I understand it.
Sounds good, but what is the serving size for the nutritional info listed?

Paul William Walden had just driven cross-country from North Carolina, looking to buy some heroin and possibly talking on a cellphone at the time he crashed his car into Harison Long-Randall and killed him last year, according to court testimony Friday.
California Highway Patrol Officer David Longo provided the new details during a Sacramento Superior Court preliminary hearing into last year's fatal wreck in Carmichael in which Long-Randall, 21, was killed and his girlfriend was seriously injured. Her four dogs also were killed in the crash.
At the end of the hearing, Judge Steve White ordered Walden to stand trial on charges of murder, vehicular manslaughter, hit-and-run, driving with a revoked or suspended license and two counts of driving under the influence. The judge tentatively set Walden's trial for July 17.
In his testimony Friday, Longo related the recollections about the crash from Gemily West, Long-Randall's girlfriend, who was 23 at the time of the 10 p.m. collision on July 16 at the intersection of Garfield Avenue and Engle Road.
According to Longo, West said she and her boyfriend had just walked her four dogs at a nearby park and were headed back to her residence when they came to the south crosswalk of the intersection and looked to cross Garfield west to east.
"They had stopped and made sure no cars were coming," Longo testified, under questioning from Deputy District Attorney Kari Reeve. "She saw some car lights to her left (and) heard a large revving engine noise."
A car in the right-hand turn lane suddenly veered left, Longo said. It smashed a stop sign and headed toward them, according to West's account as told by Longo.
"It was like a rocket taking off," Longo said West told investigators. "She said she heard Mr. Randall say something to the effect of 'Oh, no,' and embracing a bear hug and pushing her to the ground."
West suffered a broken leg and cuts and bruises and a puncture wound to her hip. Lying in the street and crying in pain, West said she saw Long-Randall "in a prone position," Longo testified, "pulling up on his elbows." She said she thought he had his leg tucked up underneath his body, but then saw it "laying in the gutter."
Paramedics rushed Long-Randall to a hospital. He died 10 days later.
Officers found the remains of two of West's dogs 50 feet south of the crosswalk and of the two others about 100 feet from the point of impact. Witnesses estimated that Walden's 1987 Nissan Maxima was traveling at 75 to 90 miles per hour when he hit the couple and the dogs. Two witnesses also told the CHP his headlights may have been off, although a photo from a nearby traffic camera taken three minutes before the crash showed his lights were on.
Longo quoted extensively throughout the hearing from the statements to investigators made by a recent heroin addict acquaintance of Walden's. It was the acquaintance, identified as Cody Miller, who said Walden had just arrived in the Sacramento area from back East and was looking to buy some "stuff" a street term commonly used by heroin users to identify their favorite drug.
"Mr. Walden was coming in from North Carolina and had just arrived in town," Longo said, quoting Miller's statements to investigators. When Miller told Walden he couldn't find any heroin, Walden replied "he'd get his own stuff," according to Longo.
The CHP's Longo testified that Walden called Miller at 8:45 p.m., 9 p.m. and 9:19 p.m. in his search for heroin.
The officer did not say whether Walden was able to obtain any heroin before the crash. It could be an important element in the murder charge against Walden that is based in part on whether he was under the influence.
Walden's attorney, Michael Long, said it is a strong possibility his client was falling asleep at the time of the wreck after a cross-country drive.
"If you've driven back from North Carolina after four days, you're going to be drowsy," Long said. "It's 10 o'clock at night. You're going to be drowsy."
Walden was arrested three days after the crash.
Long argued in court his client did not get his hands on any heroin prior to the crash. Long said in an interview outside the courtroom that Walden procured the drug after he fled the collision.
"Within the next hour, after the accident," Long told reporters.
Longo said Walden's phone records showed he received a call on his cellphone at 9:59:50 p.m. just 10 seconds before the CHP's estimated time of the crash. The call came from a phone registered to Walden's mother, Longo said. It lasted a minute and 40 seconds. Longo testified the first 911 call on the collision received by the CHP was recorded at 10:01:42 p.m.
Deputy District Attorney Reeve declined to be interviewed after the hearing.
Asked if his client was on the cellphone at the time of the collision, Long said, "That's what we'll find out."
After the collision at Garfield and Engle, Miller, according to Longo, received another series of calls from Walden saying his car broke down and he needed some help. Under questioning from Long, the officer said the two had cellphone conversations at 10:11 p.m., 10:27 p.m., 10:29 p.m., 10:41 p.m. and 10:49 p.m.
"There may have been more," Longo said.
Walden, in one of his later calls, said he no longer needed assistance. Miller met Walden sometime after the 10:49 p.m. call at the defendant's mother's house in North Highlands. Miller told authorities that when he pulled up, Walden was still unloading his car from the cross-country trip, according to Longo.
It was Miller's opinion that by the time he got to North Highlands, Longo said, Walden was already under the influence of heroin. Miller said he advised Walden to turn himself in to authorities.
In a wooden shack behind the house, the two shot up some more heroin together, Longo testified, when Walden made an admission to Miller.
"He said he hit some guy and a dog," Longo said Miller told investigators.
The two then fell asleep.

For Consumers
Tentative approval of abacavir sulfate and lamivudine tablets, 600 mg/300 mg
On September 3, 2008, FDA granted tentative approval for the first generic combination formulation of abacavir sulfate and lamivudine tablets, 600 mg/300 mg, manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma Limited, Hyberdad, India. Abacavir sulfate and lamivudine are antivral agents in the Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NRTI) class. Combining two therapeutic agents in a single pill facilitates dosing, storage and distribution, and may contribute to improved patient adherence to drug regimens.
"Tentative approval" means that FDA has concluded that a drug product meets all required quality, safety and efficacy standards, but is not eligible for marketing in the U.S. because of existing patents and/or exclusivity rights. Tentative approval, however, does make the product eligible for consideration for purchase outside the United States under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) .
The application was reviewed under expedited review provisions developed for the PEPFAR program
This tentative approval is a generic version of Epzicom Tablets, 600 mg/300 mg, a product of SmithKline Beecham Corporation. Epzicom is subject to existing patent protection. Effective patent dates can be found in the agency's publication titled Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, also known as the "Orange Book"
As with all generic applications, FDA conducts an on-site inspection of each manufacturing facility, and of the facilities performing the bioequivalence studies, to evaluate the ability of the manufacturer to produce a quality product and to assess the quality of the bioequivalence data supporting the application prior to granting approval or tentative approval to these applications.
A list of all Approved and Tentatively Approved Antiretrovirals in Association with the President's Emergency Plan is available on the FDA website.

"Excellent product, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to add a little "oomph" to their ride. I had some minor issues with the installation i.e. the frame mounting bolts were the wrong size. Highly recommend some extra bolts just in case. Other than that looks great, works great, and the instructions were excellent and easy to decipher. Took me about 6 hrs to install (due to bolt-hunting trip)."
