The frequency required for completely changing the litterbox varies, depending on the size of the litterbox, the type of litter being used, and the number of animals sharing the litterbox. Most litterboxes need to be changed around twice a week, but your mileage may vary. Between changings, it is important to keep an eye on the litterbox and to scoop out feces on a daily basis to ensure that it is pleasant to use; if you don't maintain the litterbox, the user may choose to eliminate urine and feces elsewhere.
Basically, you need to change the litterbox when it is no longer usable. Many litters clearly indicate this by clumping or smelling especially strong when they are totally saturated with urine. While it's a good idea to set regular days to change the litterbox, it's also advisable to be flexible, as the litterbox may be dirtier at some times than others. Also, if you notice that your pet is reluctant to use the litterbox, you may want to change it, whether or not it smells or looks clumpy.
Many veterinarians recommend the use of a single litterbox per pet, as a general rule of thumb. This means that if you have three cats, you should have three litterboxes; having designated litterboxes can help to prevent territorial squabbles, and to reduce the number of times a week you need to change the litterbox. Be aware that some pets do not like to use a litterbox which has been used by another pet, and that placement can be important; you may need to move household litterboxes around a few times before everyone is happy.
When you change the litterbox, it is important to clean the litterbox in addition to dumping out all of the litter. Mild antibacterial soaps are ideal, as they will help cut down on odor and discourage any bacteria colonies from forming, keeping the litterbox healthier for the animal to use. Be aware that some soaps and cleaning chemicals are dangerous for cats, rabbits, and other litterbox users; you may want to read up on a list of potentially dangerous chemicals for your pet so that you can avoid using them.
After you clean the litterbox, allow it to dry completely before pouring in more litter. The use of a litterbox liner is not absolutely necessary, but it can make cleanup easier, and whether you use a liner or not, you may find that sprinkling some baking soda into the box helps to cut down on odor. If you use a covered litterbox, you may want to note the date when you change the litterbox on the calendar, as it's easy to forget about the litterbox when it is covered to reduce odor.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Writing Excuses at WorldCon with Phil and Kaja Foglio
Submitted by Howard Tayler on August 18, 2008 - 09:43
One of the best parts of WorldCon for me this year was getting to drag Phil and Kaja Foglio in front of the microphones for Episode 28 of Writing Excuses. It has been my privilege to spend lots of time with them at Comic-Con a month ago and then again at WorldCon in early August. That experience serves to tell me that the fifteen minutes of this episode don't approach the tiniest portion of "enough time" when learning at the feet of the Foglios. What's here is gold, though. Go listen!
Oh, and if you're not yet reading Girl Genius, head over there. You're in for a deep-archive, victorian-corsetted, steampunky, gaslampy, fantastic treat. With long red hair, welding goggles, and giant robots.

Dogwood Festival Benefit Breakfast
Friday April 25, 2014
7:30am - 10:00am
Silent Auction begins at 7:00am
Breakfast begins at 7:30am
Double Tree Hotel, Charlottesville
As part of the 2014 Charlottesville Dogwood Festival, the 3rd Annual Dogwood Benefit Breakfast will be held on Friday April 25, 2014 at the Doubletree Hotel. The "BE SUPERHERO STRONG" Benefit Breakfast will honor 6 year old, Leland Crickenberger. The proceeds from the silent auction will go to Leland and his family.
Here is a brief description on Lelands journey. On Oct. 16, 2012, at a routine visit to his doctor, he ended up being given the diagnosis of Neurogenic Bladder Syndrome and Kidney Reflux. Leland underwent 3 different surgery procedures to track the progress of the syndrome to the bladder and kidneys. He was then diagnosed with Neurogenic Bowel Syndrome as well as an overactive bladder. His doctor began several medications to slow the progress but the Syndromes were working faster than the medications could work. This left the doctor no choice but to place a GI port to deliver the medicine faster to his intestines. After countless doctor appointments, scheduled trips to the operating room, the doctor could not slow the progress down. Leland's parents were given the options of taking no more medical intervention or take a chance for traveling several states away to try a procedure that is not guaranteed to work. Leland and his parents leaned heavily on their faith as they knew God would see them through. In December of 2013, Leland and his mother traveled to Cincinnati, Ohio for a new journey. Leland endured the trip with smiles and not a single fear. He was excited that he could possibly get better. Leland has endured countless needle sticks, surgeries, medical appointments, and hospital stays. With his future needing countless more surgeries, and the possibility of lifelong dialysis, Leland lives each day to the fullest.
Jenne Garrett
Leland inspires everyone who knows him with his courageous smile, willingness, and his "Superhero" strength. His motto is, "Be Strong, Be Superhero Strong"!
The success of the Silent Auction depends on the donations received. If you helped out last year, I extend my heartfelt thanks and hope that you will once again be a part of this very worthwhile cause. If you were not a part of the 2013 Benefit Breakfast and auction, please consider helping out. Can we count on your support?
If you are interested in donating an item (or items), please let me know. Remember "it takes a village… one person at a time".

Published Mar-25-2014
Oregon's unemployment rate has been steadily trending down for more than four years as the economy has recovered from the Great Recession. Recent declines were coupled with moderate employment growth as indicated by the more than 2,000 jobs added in both January and February.
In February, seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment rose by 2,900 following a revised gain of 2,100 in January. February marked the 8th consecutive monthly gain. The private sector has expanded even longer; the last private-sector job loss was 20 months ago.
Manufacturing added 1,000 jobs in February when a loss of 100 is the normal seasonal pattern. The components with the largest gains were food manufacturing (+400 jobs), computer and electronic product manufacturing (+200), and transportation equipment manufacturing (+200).
Food manufacturing continued its steady expansion of the past eight years, hitting a new February record of 25,300 jobs. Gains in recent years have accelerated in most component industries with particularly rapid expansions in these three: tortilla, confectionery, and seasoning and dressing.
Construction also performed better than expected, with a gain of 1,100 jobs on a seasonally adjusted basis. A strong winter season has put construction up 7,000 jobs, or up nearly 10 percent since February 2013.
The bulk of construction's job gains over the year have come in two of the specialty trade contractors industries. Building finishing contractors employed 11,000 in February, which was an increase of 2,500 from February 2013. And building equipment contractors employed 21,700, an increase of 1,400 over the year.
Two industries that have added jobs lately continued to do so in February. Professional and business services added 2,100 jobs in February, continuing its trend of being one of the fastest growing industries over the last few years. Meanwhile, local government added 4,000 jobs in February, which was 1,100 more than its normal seasonal pattern. This industry - which is comprised largely of local K-through-12 schools, community colleges, city and county governments - saw substantial job losses throughout 2009 to mid-2013. But it has turned the corner and started to expand in recent months.

In his report card, I said that Colton Sceviour needed to hold on because a full time roster slot is headed in his direction and getting there quick. My thoughts have not changed in the slightest.
Colton Sceviour was a small-time "when you need him" kind of guy. He came up to the Dallas Stars this season while slotting for an injury, and immediately got himself in gear and ready to work. He snagged a goal in his first appearance, which if you don't know, is a pretty crazy achievement. And that was not all he had in him.
He finished off the regular season with a stunning stat line of 8 goals and 4 assists. With a primary spot on the third line for his tenure in Big D during the regular season, those numbers are undeniably outstanding. With his skills and sitting at the age of 25, Colton Sceviour is looking at a primetime spot with the big boys come next year. His playoff performance must have found a way to Jim Nill's heart, considering he did not let Sceviour return to the AHL after the Stars' playoff hopes were diminished. He found a goal against Andersen and knotted 2 assists in his NHL postseason debut.
With his right handed capabilities in which the Stars truly lack (2 right handed players currently under contract, Seguin and Peverley), the Stars are lucky to have such a young talent that will ultimately enrich their lineup in the years to come. With his contract being extended just 4 months ago, he is guaranteed to the Stars for 2 more seasons. With such a small salary attached to the contract, the Stars have a real steal and a "diamond in the ruff (hehe)" caliber player. Sceviour will ultimately be a key in carrying the Stars to the Cup.
That's how I feel. Now, what're you thinking? Use the poll below and tell me how you feel the Stars should act this offseason in regards to Colton Sceviour:

decreased independence, and higher risk-management costs (Scott 1990). Some blood centers import blood because they can obtain this blood for less than their own costs of production (Anderson 1990). For years, blood banks have participated in systems to exchange blood among themselves to alleviate shortages. Blood banks in metropolitan areas that serve large trauma, tertiary, and transplantation centers most frequently experience shortages of whole blood, components, and type-specific blood units. Although experience has demonstrated that the American public is ever-willing to donate blood in times of local disaster or national emergency, this same public has often not donated blood in sufficient supply to meet the daily needs of the local community. Less than 5 percent of the U.S. population donates blood and in certain communities the percentage is even lower. Without resource-sharing networks, many individuals would not receive the blood transfusions necessary to maintain or restore their health.
The United States blood collection system is heterogeneous owing to the "random development of blood centers without regard … to patient referral patterns" (Scott 1990). The American Red Cross (ARC) collects approximately half the blood in the United States. In the non-ARC covered areas, blood is collected by one or more community or hospital blood banks. In most areas of the United States, there is only one local organization that collects blood. However, in some communities, including these where the ARC operates a blood program, blood may be collected by more than one organization. When this occurs, usually several hospitals and a community blood center (ARC or non-ARC) are involved.
The adequacy of the nation's blood supply varies at different times of the year and in different parts of the United States, but, in general, the United States is almost 100 percent self-sufficient in its blood supply. Approximately 2 percent of the U.S. blood supply is imported from western Europe (Wallace, et al. 1993). Sufficiency, however, varies among geographic areas of the United States on a continual basis. The extent to which the adequacy of the blood supply is related to the public image of blood banks and the association of blood with AIDS is not clear. Public opinion surveys indicate strong support for blood banks (Gallup 1991), and despite major public education efforts by blood banks, a high (35 percent) percentage of people believe they can contract AIDS or HIV by donating blood (CDC 1991).

this is the piece that made me fall in love with art history because at first youre all oh thats a cool painting of saint agatha
wait a minute… is that
And God said unto Abraham, "Abraham."
And Abraham replied, "What."
God said to John, "Come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.
And Judas approached the rabbis and Pharisees saying, "The one whom I kiss is the one you seek."
To which they responded, "Gay."
And thus, god made Eve. And she was bammin' slammin' bootylicious.
see you all in hell
remember when you were younger and getting socks or pajamas for christmas was like the worst most boring present ever, but now it's like
aww yiss motherfucking socks that's right bitches i got fucking SOCKS get on my feet right now
And in that moment I swear we were Dobby.
We accept the socks we think we deserve.

I went for a walk on New Year's day and came up with some resolutions
1 To go through all my photos cataloged in lightroom and star rate them as well as keyword the ones that I never did well.
From the five star rated photos I will go through and select 50 of the very best to work on for a portfolio
2 I will then create a specific site just for my portfolio using foliopic as the web system.
3 I want to organise an exhibition this year. One thing I've never done so time to put that into action.
4 Also I will be starting a new personal photography project called Project3101 - all will be revealed later.
5 To become fitter. I have a running machine which I intend going on each evening for 30mins. While running I will play a learn Spanish DVD and see if I can learn a language.
6 To eat better. A few years ago, due to health, I stopped eating cheese, milk chocolate, curries and other fattening foods...I've let that lapse and am almost back to being a cholesterol inducing machine. Time for change!
7 To see more of this country. It became evident from my photo365 blog that I spend most of my current life close to home. Skye, various areas of Scotland, Dorset, Roaches, Lake District, New Forest are on the must visit / revisit locations.
8 Spend less time at the computer - I tend to work and play around the computer, so it would be healthy to step away from time to time... points 1 and 2 make this harder to implement.
9 Spend time relaxing / resting - it's not in my nature but i know I have to do it.
All the above is written with good intentions. I hope I can manage at least 30% of this list.
Pete, reference your #9 above; I would highly recommend you learn how to relax and rest properly. One of the most beneficial things that I have ever brought into my life is meditation, specifically relax breathing. The benefits didn't happen overnight, but became apparent on a gradual basis. The best thing about what I do is that it can be done anywhere, anytime, even sitting at the computer. I know several ex colleagues who took it up after serious illness such as heart attack, cancer, etc., and they all swear by it. I commuted over 2000 miles to and from work for over ten years, and I believe it was only possible because I could clear my body of the stresses that built up with that type of life. I am approaching my 20th year of using meditation, and I don't know what I'd do without it.
I can't think of a simpler activity to do that will produce anywhere near the benefits.
Pete, I must agree with some of your resolutions especially numbers 5 & 6.
I've resolved to look after myself much more this year as I'm fed up of feeling run down so often and always being tired and lethargic.
Hopefully, if I can achieve this it'll make it easier to succeed with my resolution for my photography, which is to do much more!
If your diet is made up of a large amount of sugar, eg. carbs, you will feel lethargic, it's simple. The first step is to learn about food; what's good, and what's not so good, what will bring you down, and what will energise you. I'm not going to recommend a specific book, because I think most of them are good. Your government should have a food guide, our's does, and it's the easiest I've ever tried to follow, and seems to be very practical. There's a journalist with one of our newspapers who was well over 300 lbs a few years ago, and all of a sudden he posted a new photo of himself in his column, he was about 200 lbs, and he went on to get his weight and vital signs to the recommended for his height, and he now runs marathons. When asked how he lost the weight, he responds; the Canada Food Guide and a bit of excercis, such as walking and swimming.
What you do now will not only benefit you right away, but will pay huge dividends as you get older, and find you can still be just as active.
My new year's resolution is not to make any new year's resolutions...
Quote: You failed that one then
Story of my life
I'm gonna get fit for my local fell race, Black Combe on 3rd March and try and do it under 1hr 39mins which was the time I did it last in 2007. As a beneficial side effect I may lose a pound or two in weight as well but its more to do with seeing if I can still compete at a reasonable standard (for me).
Quote: I'm gonna get fit for my local fell race

Working online is becoming an increasingly popular option that individuals consider when considering a career modify.
Internet jobs undoubtedly exist and gone will be the days when a great online career merely meant getting paid to answer email messages, stuffing envelopes and things of this nature that many of us wisely ignored.
These days, you can mindset function online and produce a good income. Rather than discussing the ways that you can legitimately earn funds online - and there are numerous good Internet assets that already do this - I think it would be more valuable to go over the realities of working online based on what I've noticed and learned inside my 2 years regarding experience working on the web.
There are so many get rich quick schemes on the web and like the actual old adage claims, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Here are my methods for working online:
1. If it seems too good to become true, it probably is. Yes, I just described it above but it's worth bringing up again. If you see Internet ads or emails claiming you may make thousands of dollars per day working at home, don't get the hopes up. If it was that easy to make cash working online, everyone would be carrying it out. 2. Working online is definitely an increasingly competitive option. Whether it's selling someone else's product online or selling your own product online, it is becoming harder to obtain customers' attention online. You can certainly come with an online career selling physical or Internet-based products however your best bet is to discover a niche and fill it. With thousands regarding new websites showing up daily, the competition is increasing every day. 3. Working online could be expensive. In order to market products, you obviously require customers. To find customers on the web, you often need to pay to locate them by bidding on search engine keywords to entice qualified and specific buyers. Keywords are becoming more costly to bid on which is becoming more difficult to become profitable in specific markets. Too many so-called Internet gurus allow it to be sound so simple and cheap to build an income online. That's because they know lots of the tricks of the trade for example getting many people to promote their products on their behalf and having these people cover all the expense of finding paying customers. Often it seems that the those people who are making the most money on the web are the those who charge you money to exhibit you how to make money on the net. 4. Building a job online takes time and won't necessarily happen overnight. If you expect that you can quit a excellent paying job on Friday and begin earning a similar amount of cash working online the following Monday, you will be sadly disappointed. Remember the childhood story of the tortoise and the particular hare? The hare is faster compared to the tortoise but the particular tortoise is sluggish but steady as well as wins the race as a result. Earning money on the web is usually the same way these times: you win the race by being slow but steady. Occasionally you may well hit the jackpot quickly but generally, online success takes time (and effort).
If you will pursue an on the internet career, go into this with both face open. Don't buy to the get rich strategies because most if not they all are scams.
Working online can typically be a lucrative option but attempt to do as much research as you possibly can before diving to the pool headfirst and finding out too late that there are no water.
Look for items that people will be willing to pay for in the long run. Today's fad may be forgotten tomorrow.

As the price of Bitcoin peeked its head over $90 this morning, we reached a historic milestone: Bitcoin is worth a billion dollars.
I'm talking about Bitcoin as a whole here. The market cap (price times number of coins in existence) as I'm writing this is at $1,035,238,115, just over a billion (or as my Euro friends often say, thousand million) U.S. dollars.
Of course from a market perspective this doesn't mean all that much – if we were a stock instead of a currency we'd still be considered "small cap" until about 2 billion, and a billion dollars is about the annual GDP of Micronesia but a nice big round number does feel good, doesn't it?
Of course it may all be a bubble, or the result of manipulation. Bitcoin is notoriously volatile and it could crash just as easily as it's rallied, but regardless of the mood with which we look back at this moment there is no denying that it is HISTORIC.
Update: This post got so much attention this morning I decided to whip together a YouTube video on my way to work, even though I don't touch Bitcoin on my YouTube channel very often.

Book of Peoples of the World: A Guide to Culturesby National Geographic
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
As cultures and languages disappear from the Earth at a shocking rate, it becomes all the more urgent for us to know and value the worlds many ethnic identities. National Geographics Book of Peoples of the World propels that important quest with concern, authority, and respect. Created by a team of experts, this hands-on resource offers thorough coverage of more than 200 ethnic groups—some as obscure as the Kallawaya of the Peruvian Andes, numbering fewer than 1,000; others as widespread as the Bengalis of India, 172 million strong. Were swept along on a global tour of beliefs, traditions, and challenges, observing the remarkable diversity of human ways as well as the shared experiences. Spectacular photographs reveal how people define themselves and their worlds. Specially commissioned maps show how human beings have developed culture in response to environment. Thought-provoking text examines not only the societies and the regions that produced them, but also the notion of ethnicity itself—its immense impact on history, the effects of immigration on cultural identity, and the threats facing many groups today. Threading through the story are the extraordinary findings of the National Geographic Societys Genographic Project—a research initiative to catalog DNA from people around the world, decoding the great map of human migration embedded in our own genetic makeup.
At once a comprehensive reference, an appreciation of diversity, and a thoughtful look at our instinct to belong, this uplifting book explores what it means to be human and alive.
From the foremost authority on history and civilization comes the definitive guide to world cultures--showcasing human diversity in all its vast and startling richness. 235 color photographs and 37 maps.

Scriptwriting Master Class Review
The Screenwriting Master Class I attended on 21st October 2013 at FACT as part of the BFI Film Academy was an extremely valuable evening in which a professional screenwriter and director talked about the process of creating stories specifically for film. She started by discussing the meaning of the terms genre and theme and emphasised the importance of every film having a theme that the audience could connect with such as love, loss or frustration so that the deeper meaning behind the writing would have greater impact emotionally. She then showed the group of us a short in which a man on a bus found himself getting increasingly irritated by everyone's noisy use of technology around him to the extent whereby he went on a violent spree beating them up to vent his frustration. This then turned out to be a dream as he awoke to realise it was his phone going off in his pocket and everyone on the bus was in fact annoyed with him for leaving it ringing for so long. I found it useful to use an actual example and put what we had discussed into context and after watching the film we were able to categorise it in the thriller genre and identify the theme as natural human frustration.
We then looked into forming ideas and getting them down on paper and we experimented with the technique of stream of consciousness writing whereby we were given a word or phrase taken from a newspaper and then had to write whatever subsequently came in our heads. This technique was entirely new to me and I found it to be an interesting and useful way of getting ideas flowing. Following this exercise we each wrote a character biography based on a photo of a person we were given and were given a checklist of attributes to consider in order to flesh out their overall persona. I found the checklist incredibly helpful and will definitely make use of it in future. However, I feel I would have got more out of this task if we'd been given slightly longer than five minutes to complete it because then I could have put more thought into the character and started to also think about the characters' inner elements such as who they care about, what they want in the future and what they fear (as suggested on the checklist).
The next task undertaken as part of the master class involved getting into partners and working out a relationship between our two characters in order to write a scene. I found this enjoyably challenging and when we were initially unsure of where to go with the plot I was grateful of some personal help from the professional writer who said not to over think or over-complicate it as it was only one scene. Overall I found it to be a really beneficial evening full of good advice such as "make the audience intrigued" and "everything means something so don't just put Greek books on the shelf" (in relation to a past error i.e. if it doesn't serve a purpose to the plot do not include it). I liked the idea presented that the writer has a creative palette including: genre, theme, location, characters, dialogue, action, movement, emotions, sound, mood, colour, lighting, pace (in the edit), framing and special effects. My eyes were really opened to the limitless possibilities for imaginative direction in the writing – as long as they are not completely out of budget of course. However, in conclusion I left with not only ideas but also further knowledge of how to convey them for screen and therefore I think the Screen Writing Master Class was a great event which I would recommend to anyone with a similar interest in writing for film.

WEDNESDAY, Jan. 26 (HealthDay News) -- Five to 40 percent or
more of births in the United States are induced early without any
good medical reason, according to a new hospital-by-hospital
And there is tremendous variation in the rates documented by
hospitals voluntarily reporting these "early elective induction"
deliveries, even within the same community. In Los Angeles, for
instance, the rates of babies delivered early without a good
medical reason ranged from 4 percent to 29 percent. In Boston, the
rates reported by different hospitals ranged from near zero to 27
"This is the first real evidence that the practice of scheduling newborn deliveries without medical reasons is common and varies among hospitals," said Leah Binder, CEO of the Leapfrog Group, an employer-driven hospital quality watchdog group. Leapfrog announced the findings of its annual hospital report at a Wednesday news conference.
"The information is extremely disturbing," she continued. "We are calling on hospitals to put policies in place to prevent early elective deliveries."
According to Binder, "elective inductions have now outpaced
medical inductions."
The consequences of such deliveries can be grave. "The last few
weeks of a pregnancy are critical to the development of the baby's
brain, lung and liver," said Dr. Alan Fleishman, senior vice
president and medical director of the March of Dimes Foundation.
"Babies born just a few weeks early have feeding problems,
jaundice, inability to hold temperature and tremendous increased
costs. Every week counts."
Babies delivered early also face a higher risk of death,
spending time in a neonatal intensive care unit and life-long
health problems, according to a statement from the Leapfrog
Plus, using gestational dating to figure out a delivery time can
be "grossly inadequate" unless a woman has an ultrasound exam in
the first trimester, Fleishman pointed out. If the dating is off by
even two weeks, the baby could end up being premature (born before
37 weeks), he said.
Leapfrog's target goal for 2010 was 12 percent, but it is now
lowering that threshold to 5 percent, said Barbara Rudolph, senior
science director of the Leapfrog Group.
The good news is that about 50 percent of hospitals reported
early elective delivery rates of 12 percent or below. The bad news
is that an equal half reported rates higher than that figure.
But more good news is that 29 percent of hospitals reported
rates of 5 percent or less, indicating that such low rates are
achievable, said Rudolph.
Why are so many early elective deliveries occurring?
According to Maureen Corry, Childbirth Connection's executive
director, a recent survey found that the leading reason (accounting
for about 25 percent of early births) was caregiver concern that
the mother was overdue. About 19 percent were medical inductions,
another 19 percent were due to the mother's desire "to get the
pregnancy over with," and the final one (17 percent) came from
concern about the size of the baby. According to Fleischman, large
babies aren't a valid reason for early delivery.
And 75 percent of mothers actually think that 34 to 36 weeks is
full-term (although it is really 39 to 40 weeks), Fleischman added.
Providers' desire for convenience and predictable schedules could
also play a role.
"We encourage women to wait until they've completed the 39th week of pregnancy [to deliver] unless it's medically called for," Binder said. "Every woman in America needs to know [information on a hospital's early elective delivery rate] before she enters the door of a hospital."
More Information

The disconnect between Kai Campos's hoodie-adorned head nodding away to his beats and Dominic Maker standing almost motionless while singing was enjoyable to watch, and the use of a live cymbal was a nice touch, adding some tension to the performance. Behind them, a slideshow of thousands of arty, amateur snapshots (like a rougher Martin Parr) played, rarely sitting on one photo for more than a second. Live post-punk-sounding guitar parts and some serious sub-bass livened up the performance further, as the set contained several new songs and worked upwards in a confident arc from its downtempo beginnings and to its more danceable end.As a drone marked his arrival, Squarepusher (aka Tom Jenkinson) walked onstage wearing his new signature Robocop-meets-Daft Punk visor. A girl in the crowd shouted "We love you!" to which Jenkinson replied, "I love you too." With three banks of LEDs fronting his "DJ table," one on his helmet's visor and one large screen behind him showing the same pulsating geometric images, it was quite the visual assault and made for a unique live experience. And Squarepusher seemed to be enjoying himself, cheering the crowd on every time they applauded.As "Unreal Square" started to play, an oscillating circle appeared on screen, presenting a wry in-joke for anyone that cared to notice. A few tracks in, when what had been an upbeat set slowed down with "Red in Blue," another appropriate visual pun was used as the lights that had been white on a black background all night changed to red and blue for the sinister dirge. The respite was brief, however, and the beats picked up immediately after with the track's album successor, the acid-y "The Metallurgist." Following a brief pause, Jenkinson then played "Dark Steering," one of the stronger tracks from this year's Ufabulum album, which he played the majority of.Working in plenty of his trademark IDM with jungle beats, visual presentation aside, it wasn't that different from what Squarepusher and his peers (namely Richard D. James, Mike Paradinas and Autechre) were doing in the mid-'90s, and in some ways, Jenkinson's new material and accompanying show are a return to the more purely electronic sound of Squarepusher in his prime. The substantial 20-something portion of the crowd showed that it wasn't just a heritage tour, but IDM is alive and well two decades later.Visually stunning and superbly executed, the set did begin to plateau midway, through, which Jenkinson remedied by bringing out his trusty bass for several tracks, including an improvised bass piece that had a lot of the crowd clapping and pogoing.Already a 90-minute set pre-encore, Jenkinson came back onstage, sans visor, with his bass guitar for several more tracks, including another unfamiliar bass piece and a stellar rendition of "A Journey to Reedham," which ended the set brilliantly with its frenetic lasers-on-spring-break meltdown. This was followed by the delicate and brief, jazzy lullaby of "SEB-1.01," making the perfect way to say goodnight. GET IT!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Fried chicken giant KFC is suing one of its suppliers, saying cups used to hold popcorn chicken have caught fire while being reheated in microwave ovens.
Louisville-based KFC said in a federal lawsuit that Paris Packaging of Paris, Texas, changed the content of the black ink used on the containers. The lawsuit says the ink now includes carbon, which may catch fire if heated.
The restaurant chain says at least two people reported fires. The suit does not say whether anyone was injured because of the fires.
KFC is seeking at least $757,000 to cover the cost of recalled containers.
KFC spokesman Rick Maynard said no one was injured because of
the fires.
Messages left at Paris Packaging were not immediately returned

Portland Trail Blazers vs. Houston Rockets
Tip-off: 5:30 p.m. Sunday, July 13, 2014
Where: Thomas & Mack Center, Las Vegas, Nevada
Channels: CSNNW
After suffering a close loss at the hands of Tim Hardaway Jr. and the New York Knicks, the Trail Blazers' summer league squad must gather themselves to face the Houston Rockets. The Trail Blazers are at a distinct disadvantage since the Rockets' team played together in Orlando Summer league just last week. There is no single player that carries the Houston team, but their early successes suggest that guards Isaiah Canaan (34th pick, 2013) and Nick Johnson (42nd pick, 2014) are ones to watch out for.
Although the Trail Blazers have only played one game so far, it is clear that C.J. McCollum and Will Barton will be relied on to score in heavy minutes, while Thomas Robinson gets what's his on both ends of the floor. Since the Trail Blazers have filled all 15 roster spots for the 2014-15 season there is no real need to play non-returning players anything more than relief minutes since they will not get contracts in Portland. We'll see how this affects cohesion, as they all try to get noticed by scouts for other teams.
Unfortunately, we have been unable to see all of Portland's returning players compete. Meyer Leonard did not play in yesterday's game due to a strained back. His status for today's matchup remains uncertain. Regardless, watch closely to see who gets minutes when, because it may indicate who is favored to receive rotation minutes in the upcoming regular season. While summer league is not high-level basketball, it has important implications for the Trail Blazers' bench.
Hopefully the Trail Blazers will pull this one off. Since most other teams play a combination of undrafted players, their own draft picks, and returning players, one would hope that Portland would prove formidable with their NBA-experienced core. The Rockets will be a tough opponent, but if the Trail Blazers actually keep losing, I have serious concerns about how much development is still needed for their young bench players to contribute in a meaningful way during the regular season. Tune in at 5:30 p.m. to see how well they stack up.

Wetter, cooler weather has helped firefighting efforts in
California so much that C-130 Hercules equipped with mobile
airborne firefighting systems have been released, Pentagon
officials said. The aircraft flew back to their bases in
California, Colorado, Wyoming and North Carolina on Sunday.
Officials said that 10
of the 12 largest fires have been 80-percent contained. Local
officials estimate that the Old fire in San Bernardino County and
the Paradise fire in San Diego County are 65-percent contained. The
progress is so good that the military Joint Task Force –
Firefighting will stand down in the next day or two.
The firefighting effort continues, and officials now are
requesting surveillance aircraft to ensure the fire does not
reignite. State officials requested military Predator unmanned
aerial vehicles to aid this surveillance effort.
Residents are starting to return to the stricken areas. Many are
returning to find their homes and other structures burned to the
ground. The wildfires were the most destructive in California
history, said state officials.
The wildfires have caused as many as 20 deaths in California,
officials said. President George W. Bush declared the counties of
San Diego, San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Ventura federal disaster
areas October 27.
Current news reports show fires have burned more than 3,600
structures. State officials said thousands were evacuated as the
fires approached and that the fires have burned more than 800,000

Passing by West Commons I spotted yet another person with that dapper look down pat. The first thing I noticed was the straw hat and that was enough to flag him down for a photo.
Then all the pretty details…! The red stitching on the blue fabric band, the bowtie's pattern, the particular color and crispness and shine of the wing tip brogues*, fantastic!

Selena Gomez' alleged stalker is not just a crazy fan ... his repeated threats to kill her pose a "serious threat" to Selena ... this according to an LAPD detective working the case.
Detective Jose Viramontes wrote a sworn declaration that was filed in court this morning, in which he says he interviewed Thomas Brodnicki on October 13th -- after he told a shrink he was going to kill Selena -- and Brodnicki "reiterated that he had many conversations with God about killing Ms. Gomez."
Det. Viramontes says Brodnicki made it clear ... he wasn't going home to Illinois until he met Selena.
The detective concludes Brodnicki has made "credible threats" and that he poses a "serious threat to Ms. Gomez."
Viramontes wrote the declaration in support of Gomez' petition to make her temporary restraining order permanent. A civil judge is hearing the matter right now.
Brodnicki pled not guilty to felony criminal stalking yesterday, and the judge in that case issued a criminal protective order.
wow that man is a creep.......
So then, why does this guy have the chance to get out on bail?.....Oh yeah, I forgot, it's California.
What````````` Is he jealous that she's blowing `The Beibs??
Latest NEWS!! 'Eonline' is flooding with hate and angry comments on Kim Ho. Now they are blocking all articles's readers comments by pretending it was a web error. The lengths Ryan Seacrest goes to protect his bangging pal Kim K. Now all her fake things are exposed and that she make millions out of lies her own fans are disgusted at her. So Eonline is even sacrificing their other articles also to ned to Ryan Seacrests's orders.
my classmate's mother makes $84 every hour on the internet. She has been fired for 10 months but last month her check was $8514 just working on the internet for a few hours. Read about it on this site http://ufil.ms/jfiHL
She can always use the JB as a shield. Don't worry he's Canadian. They're used to getting beat up but they always walk it off.
Right because everybody knows some papers stapled together form a protective barrier around people, impervious to crazy people.
WOW it would be so hard to function with ALL of that GOING ON...
Seems ta me that someone who makes real threats about killin someone else should be locked up in jail or in a mental institute.
Looks like everyone wants to kill Selena Gomez these days, talk about starving for attention
some of you commentors are so pathetic.....this nut is a real threat to this young girl. now that's just it....he's a nut and needs to be put away in an institution. his threats are real so what is the law waiting for...her death! the nut needs to be put away!!!!!!
um isn't that a pic of Vanessa Hudgins?
Restraining orders don't stop crazy people...
Selena, Be Carefull !!!
I Love You !!!
How come the pics you guys use of celebs always have that HURR DURR teeth jutting through their lips look? Ugh...

"I feel like we have a responsibility to make it known to the public what everybody could do, how everybody can make a difference. And I think that revealing these different charitable causes, like Virgin Unite or PETA or any of these other causes, are how people can contribute, they can help out. Even if it's small, everybody can do something."
He makes me feel like I can do anything. For the first time in my life I feel really, really settled and happy. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
