Hi Everyone, It is amazing the types of things you can find associated with Mr. Lee. I found this website/blog of a Lee Clarion who has some software in which his picture morphs into our Mr. Lee......It is quite striking actually........
If you have the time and are interested; here is the link:
The Editor's Weblog: Face morphing application offers endless fun.
Re: Morph of Mr. Lee
Fun but fatally flawed in my opinion. My wife and I tried and I got Vincent D'Onofrio whilst she became Lara Flynn Boyle !!!
On closer inspection the eyes have it and the general shape of the face. Other than that there's no resemblance. Still fun though.

Visit Rob Janoff's personal website – www.RobJanoff.com
Here at Fans of Apple, we are thrilled and privileged to present our inaugural guest interview on our newly-launched website. And who better to introduce to our audience than Rob Janoff? Rob who you might ask? His name may be better known to those in the field of advertising and design, but to the general public, it may not be quite so familiar. Here's where it gets interesting.
Best known for conceptualizing and designing the mega-iconic Apple logo that we all know and love, he was the "chosen designer" when Steve Jobs and Apple Computer, Inc. hired the agency where he was employed, Regis McKenna, to develop Apple's first corporate identity.
About Rob Janoff
Born in Culver City, a suburb of Los Angeles, and educated at San Jose State University, Rob initially majored in the field of industrial design. After discovering that he wasn't particularly enamored with that discipline, he then switched his focus to graphic design.
His first job out of college was at a small San Jose-based ad agency in 1970. About seven years later, after honing his design skills at his first company, he then landed a position at the established advertising agency Regis McKenna, in early 1977. Shortly after he began his tenure there, Janoff was assigned the task to design the corporate identity package for Apple Computer, Inc. Being one of a few art directors at this Palo Alto-based agency, his creative director had chosen him for this specific client based upon Rob's extensive background in advertising design for high-technology clients, in addition to his strength in abstract conceptual visualization.
Now residing in the "windy city" of Chicago, IL, Rob still remains active in the field of advertising design as a consultant and also as an educator at the College of Lake County, IL, teaching a course on "Concepts in Advertising and Digital Media".
The Apple Assignment
At the time of his initial meeting with Steve Jobs in early 1977, Apple Computer was still very much in its infancy, having been incorporated for less than one year, and perhaps best-known for their highly-detailed Sir Isaac Newton logo more than their hardware products under development. Their offices were in a local strip mall, and consisted of just the three founding partners – Steve Jobs; Steve Wozniak; and Mark Markkula. The initial identity development was to coincide with the introduction of the brand's first personal computer, the Apple II series.
The entire design process with their upstart client only took about two weeks. After their initial meeting, Janoff went to work developing the Apple icon based upon examination of physical cross-sections of real "apples". Upon further detailed development, a solitary design illustration was then created of a "rainbow-striped" apple. The only concept ever presented to Apple was an immediate success! The design and color scheme was promptly approved for production by Steve Jobs. Production artwork was then developed for print ads, hardware emblems and accessory elements such as the cassette tape cartridges; all in preparation for the launch of the Apple II in April of 1977, at the West Coast Computer Faire.
The Evolution of the Apple Logo
Since its official unveiling in 1977, a dramatic evolution of the Apple logo has taken place over the past three-and-a-half decades. The original 1976 "logo" featuring Sir Isaac Newton perched under an apple tree was the most short-lived, lasting from the company's birthdate of April 1, 1976 to April of the following year – when the Apple II was introduced.
For the next 20 years, the infamous "rainbow version" adorned all Apple products from its computers products to Newton PDAs. Finally, in 1998, with the return of CEO Steve Jobs to the Apple helm in 1997, a revised translucent (plastic-like) version of the logo was unveiled, reflecting the new product lines that were being announced under his direction, in particular the Bondi-blue "all-in-one" iMac G3 in August of 1998.
The translucent logo remained "en vogue" until the last several years, whereafter variations of the theme resulted in metallic renditions of the design. The present "chrome" version featured on the Apple.com website is shown below alongside its predecessors.
Key points of the design process and other interesting facts
Here are some interesting tidbits and highlights of information that I was able to glean from our conversation regarding his experience in working with Apple and Steve Jobs during the company's formative first year. It was indeed a great pleasure in having had the opportunity to speak with Rob the other day, and we hope to follow up this story with a personal video interview in the near future.
- Rob was hired to replace another designer at Regis McKenna – yet never took a formal advertising class in college
- Rob had previously worked on an ad campaign for client Intel which provided familiarity with technology companies
- His ability to visually define abstract concepts was the key factor in Rob being assigned the Apple project by his creative director
- Rob prepared only one (1) concept for Steve Jobs to review – and it was immediately adopted as the production version
- The entire design process only took approximately two weeks from initial meeting to final design presentation
- The reason for the rainbow stripes was two-fold: to humanize and make the products more "user-friendly" and because Steve Jobs had the intention of selling these computers to schools
- The "bite" was introduced to the apple to give the icon greater distinction from other fruit or vegetable profiles
- For font enthusiasts, the font that accompanied the early logo (below) is known as "Motter Tektura"
- Rob worked for Regis McKenna from 1977 to 1981 when it was purchased by Chiat/Day, the advertising agency which created the 1984 MacIntosh Super Bowl ad.

ENVR - Environmental Technology
Alfred State courses are grouped into the following sections:
This course will explore the issues of food production and consumption, the persistence of hunger and malnutrition in a world of plenty, and the role of science and technology in pursuing the elusive goal of 'food security for all' using a multi/interdisciplinary perspective. Comparative analysis is used throughout the course to explore topics which link ecology, culture, economics, and the ability of societies to sustain healthy environments and viable food and farming communities.
This course is intended for students in the last semester of the Environmental Technology program. Current environmental issues are considered by utilizing guest speakers, an alumni panel, and audiovisual resources. Field trips are made to regional sites of environmental interest. A job search is organized and resumes are prepared with cover letters.
This course is a non-technical overview of environmental law and public policy. Included in the course are laws, regulations and policies governing water pollution, air pollution, solid waste, hazardous waste, global commons, land use, pesticides, energy, and public lands. The social concerns of environmental regulation such as environmental economics, risk assessment and environmental impact statements are also explored. The conflict/perceived conflict of economic development with environmental protection is particularly stressed.
This is the "capstone" course for students in the Environmental Technology curriculum. The course includes a survey of the techniques used for sampling and laboratory analysis of soil, water, and microbiological samples. Chemistry topics include a review of inorganic and organic chemicals of environmental concern. Microbiology topics include the biology of microogranisms in soil, water, and waste treatment.
A student may contract for an independent study through an arrangement with an instructor who agrees to direct such a study. The student will submit a plan acceptable to the instructor and to the department chairperson. The instructor and student will confer regularly regarding the process of the study.

Now, another scourge to haunt those who are heavy smokers.
Scientists at the University of Eastern Finland at Kuopio University Hospital, analyzed data from 21,123 members of a health care system who took part in a survey between 1978 and 1985, when they were between ages 50 and 60. Diagnoses of dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and vascular dementia were tracked from Jan. 1, 1994, when the participants were 71.6 years old, on average, through July 31, 2008.
About one-quarter of the group, or 5,367, had dementia, including 1,136 with Alzheimer's disease and 416 with vascular dementia. Researchers say that people who smoked more than two packs of cigarettes a day in middle age had an elevated risk of dementia overall and also of each subtype, Alzheimer's and vascular dementia, compared with nonsmokers.
Researchers concluded that pack-a-day smokers were 37 percent more likely than nonsmokers to develop dementia, and the risks went up sharply with increased smoking; 44 percent for one to two packs a day; and twice the risk for more than two packs.
The researchers say
- "It is possible that smoking affects the development of dementia via vascular and neurodegenerative pathways. Smoking also contributes to oxidative stress and inflammation, which are believed to be important in the development of Alzheimer's disease."
- "This study shows its impact is likely to become even greater as the population ages and dementia prevalence increases."
The good news
- Former smokers or people who smoked less than half a pack per day did not appear to be at increased risk of developing dementia.
- And associations between dementia and smoking did not vary by race or sex.
An author, Dr. Rachel A. Whitmer, an epidemiologist with the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in Oakland, Calif., said, "the study offered a silver lining: unlike age and family history, this is one risk factor for dementia that can be changed."
People can quit smoking. It is difficult, especially if you're a long-time smoker. But it can be done and there are more tools to assist in your effort to quit smoking than ever before. Besides prescription medication from your family physician, there are Nicotine Patches and Lozenges which can be purchased without a prescription at any local pharmacy. Be sure to check with your family physician or local pharmacist if you intend to combine any of these medications.
Most major hospitals offer meetings for Stop-Smoking Support Groups. Your doctor may have a list also. And there may be such groups online. Before you start to Quit– Have a plan, the American Lung Association also offers free Instruction Kits to help you quit smoking.
I understand that it's extremely difficult to cope with the dementia or Alzheimer's patient who smokes. Some patients have smoked for so many years that the habit remains stamped in their memory despite all else that they've forgotten.
Besides the health issues involved, the fear of a casually discarded cigarette and ensuing house-fire can be terrifying.
My mom was never a smoker but I had a friend whose father never forgot his addiction to cigarettes as he progressed through all the stages of Alzheimer's. The sad part for him was that he would forget he had just smoked before he wanted another, over time he became a chain smoker demanding a cigarettes at all hours.
It was a sad and traumatic experience for his daughter who became his only caregiver and feared the battle of trying to wean him from smoking.
Now, we have an alternative for smoking in the electronic cigarette. Not only does it provide an authentic smoking experience but it also eliminates the fear of a fire or flame.
One of the latest Alternatives to smoking is the Electronic Cigarette.
How can the Electronic Cigarette help?
The battery operated cigarette provides an authentic smoking experience without fear of fire or flame. Smoking the Electronic Cigarette ends the harried caregiver's worry about the casually discarded cigarette starting a fire.
The Electronic Cigarette is the alternative way to smoke without smoker's breath or offensive smoke. Non-intrusive to others since there is no smoke but only a vapor.
Cheaper than cigarettes, the Electronic Cigarette provides a safe alternative for the person with Alzheimer's or Dementia who has been previously unable to stop smoking. The amount of nicotine can be lowered gradually so the "need" for a cigarette will eventually cease altogether.
Easy Shopping for the things you need for yourself and your loved one with dementia

The "Red Thumb Reminder" is described as an old-school solution to a new world problem. While it may sound simple and a little silly, it can work! RTM spoke to Steve Babcock who was inspired by his daughter's technique of tying a piece of yarn on her finger to remember something at school. He began painting his thumbnail red to remind him to put his phone down while driving. Guess what? It's worked. One nail salon owner even offered people a free gel red nail polish on your thumb as a way for her to contribute to this cause. We think nail salon owners everywhere should offer this service for a limited time and see if can continue to push this movement forward.
Check out Evolution Bureau's video. Would you try it? It's worth a shot. #RedThumbReminder

They plow through a medley of some of the best hip hop and R&B hits from the past 20 years without missing a beat.

By society's standards, Lizzie Velasquez did not meet the strict "supermodel" guidelines of what should be considered "beautiful." The "World's Ugliest Woman" was her title. But as the old saying goes, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." So, Velasquez decided to turn the hate into something positive by creating her own definition of beauty and asking people the important question: "How do you define yourself?"
We're willing to bet that most people don't of think cheerleading as being a real sport. We can see that. How much athletic ability does it take to shake some pom poms?

Having a job that causes you to make siginificant sacrifices without reward can be very daunting. While working for a video news organization in Taiwan, Marina Shifrin had enough. Her boss focused on quantity and not quality. So, she quit and did it brilliantly.

Update: One of the bikers, rapper Jay Meezee, is currently in critical condition. Hear about his condition and listen to one of the witnesses recount the incident here.
During an annual motorcycle ride through NYC, a man driving an SUV hit a biker when he was brake checked. After feeling that he, his wife, and child (in the car) were in danger, the driver of the SUV fled from the scene running over riders and their bikes, leading to a chase. When he came to a standstill in the city the bikers then pulled the man from his car and beat him. What hasn't been told until now is the bikers' side of the story in which the SUV allegedly was cutting bikers off, and where injuries reported spanned to the bikers as well as the SUV driver. Rider Xavier Forbes has said it best, that "two wrongs don't make a right," about the incident that has caused a lot of controversy.
Miley Cyrus hasn't been able to stay out of the headlines since her music video for "We Can't Stop" dropped, then there was the infamous MTV Video Music Awards performance and, of course, her "Wrecking Ball" video. MTV made a documentary about the singer called "The Movement" which premieres October 2. Watch the trailer to this documentary that shows Miley right before she hit the stage at the VMAs among other snippets of her everyday life.

Leonard Grunstein has recently shared a slideshow including photos of a YIVO event that took place last May. The event was held in celebration of the launch of YIVO's Digital Archive on Jewish Life in Poland, a website dedicated to memorabilia from the institute's collections on Polish Jewry pre-WWII that was made possible in part by the Grunstein family.
The video features photos of the tours, presentation and reception held at the event. Tours were given of YIVO's archives and rare book collection, followed by a reception and a presentation by YIVO CEO Jonathan Brent that discussed the importance of documenting the heritage of Eastern European Jews. The full video can be found below or on Leonard Grunstein's YouTube channel.

My non-compete states I cannot contact any customers or prospects of my employer (regardless if they were my customers or prospects) for 15-months post-employment. Additionally, it says if my employment is terminated for any reason voluntarily or involuntarily, I cannot compete with them for 18 months.
Does this mean if I move to an unrelated field I cannot work with people who may have been customers or prospects? What if I were to move to an organization in the same industry which is not a competitor (like a supplier or a partner who does not offer the same products or services)? How am I supposed to be able to identify the prospects of other people in my organization and know not to contact them?
This is nearly impossible to answer without a thorough review of the non-compete clause itself and some insight into the industry at issue. In general, covenants to not compete are enforceable but are not highly regarded by the Courts. In order for a covenant in restraint of trade to be enforceable the covenant must 1) relate to a contract for the sale of the good will of a business or to a contract of employment, 2) be supported by adequate consideration, and 3) be reasonably limited in both time and territory. George W. Kistler, Inc. v. O'Brien, 347 A.2d 311, 314 (Pa. 1975). I'd be more than happy to discuss this in person with you

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The precise language of non-compete agreements is critical to interpretation. While Pennsylvania courts have found non-competes to be enforceable when they are incident to employment and the restrictions imposed are reasonably necessary for the protection of the employer's business interest and reasonably limited in time and geographic area, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has made it clear that non-compete agreements are not favored and are viewed as a trade restraint that prevents a former employee from earning a living. As a consequence, courts scrutinize restrictive covenants in employment agreements to determine whether the burden placed on the employee in the agreement is unreasonable. In order to answers the questions that you pose it is essential you retain an attorney to review the Agreement and meet with you in person to review the non-compete agreement, discuss all facts related to your employment and advise you. We would be glad to set up a consultation and suggest that you contact our office as soon as possible. Andrew Abramson, Esq., Abramson Employment Law, telephone: 267-470-4742. Also, please see our website job-discrimination.com for more information about our firm and employment law.
This is a really complicated area of law and there are a variety of issues that could be explored, such as, whether the non-compete is enforceable in full or part, what state law governs the agreement, the breadth of the non-compete and whether it expressly includes suppliers or partners in its language. If you are contemplating an employment move or if you are concerned about the future given this non-compete, you should consult in-person with an attorney and go over the provisions of the agreement and the applicable law.

Minor updates to Pear-Pear site
Submitted by Pear-pear on January 27, 2013 - 16:26
This week I've added a couple long-needed tweaks to the site.
Our old RSS service went defunct, so the most recent comics, feedback page, and archive page now link to a new RSS service (RSSpect).
The archive page now features chapter titles in text (suggested a long time ago by Xaviar). I'm hoping this small addition will help new readers feel oriented, and that there is a narrative structure to the comic even though it may not be apparent at a first perusal.
On the feedback page, I realized how dated my blurbs were. A couple of the comics referenced are now dead links, so I removed them. I got rid of the Intense Debate box, too. In a couple months, I'm hoping to integrate some better means of reader interaction on the index page.

Yall need to go check out the NEW upgrades to www.ncat.edu
It's been a long time coming.
Yall need to go check out the NEW upgrades to www.ncat.edu
It's been a long time coming.
Oh thank you very much. Welcome to my blog hunny :) I follow back as well. Don't be a stranger.
I do. I enjoy looking at an erection through clothing. It's sexy and kind of subtle. Tease me a little bit.
so, im watching fight club & this is by far the most well directed & scripted movie i've seen in awhile. im interested to see how it plays out.
fight club is one of the few movies that arouses me.
and at the same time the writing expresses so much real nigga shit.
One of my favorite movies ever.
When I'm told to clean:
the reality of the situation is that most young ladies base their want for a man off of his credentials. what he has to offer, what he's done, or what he is doing. there are few woman that are willing to actually build with a man, see him for his potential, and watch the potential turn into credentials. whats the greater love…helping and watching something grow or getting that thing at its final stage of growth?
Shagged out fro with the clean face.
I know what to do. I'm going through a phase..
You know I love me some him. But I love him even more when he grows his facial hair out. :) He's extra cute. Just food for thought. Men with facial hair are always winners.

Stupid question
Apps in Mac OS 9 and earlier tended to use CR's to end lines, aka Mac-style line endings. Most OS X apps, particularly those written to the Cocoa frameworks, tend to use UNIX-style line endings. I believe BBEdit Lite will let you specify either kind as well as DOS-style endings.
Stupid question
You are right about BBedit lite, Project builder allows it as well. But it would be nice if I could somehow check a file created with a certain app, to see what line break it is using.

Maybelline • Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles • Concealers

This little product is a gift from God. I'm a huge drugstore makeup junkie but I tend to avoid hyped up products because I'm usually instantly disappointed in them. If it weren't for the $3 coupon in this weeks paper I never would have bought this but I'm glad I did. This little guy is holy grail worthy ten fold.
I have fair skin, warm undertone, lots of redness in my cheeks and deep set eyes with very dark purple undereye circles. I've been trying to find a concealer to do what Kim Kardashians concealer does for her- make her eyes pop. I also need something that will blend well with my foundations so I can layer this product over the redness in my cheeks. Then of course there is the issue of staying power, yada yada yada.... This concealer was a home run on everything.
This concealer is creamy, blendable, long lasting, full coverage, buildable... it's just amazing. It instantly brighthened up my eyes. It didn't crease or look greasy or chalky. It covered all, yes ladies, ALL of the redness in my cheeks with one application and my undereye circles disappeared with one swipe too. Above all else it looks more natural than any other concealer I have ever used... high end or drugstore.
I love the applicator. Whoever invented it is a frappin genius. I don't feel like I'm wasting product and it really does help blend the concealer. It also makes for a much quicker application when compared to my other two favorite drugstore concealers which both have that pen/brush type tip.
My only teeensy weensy complaint is that since it's so creamy you will need to set this with a powder if you have deep set eyes to avoid "raccoon eyes". This does seem to break down my mascara if the two come in contact with each other but a good matte powder fixes this problem. I don't have much in the way of creases or wrinkles around my eyes but I'd imagine if you did it would be a good idea to set this with powder to avoid creasing due to the creaminess of it. Powder isn't something I like to wear but it's totally worth it in this case.
I will be buying this forever and ever and ever. Unless this is discontinued (Please dear God, don't ever discontinue this Maybelline!) I don't think I'll ever buy another concealer again. Do yourselves a favor and give this a try if you haven't already.
Note: You might need to twist the applicator 20-30x the first time to get the product to start coming out...at first I thought mine was broken but I keep twisting and it eventually came out.

I was really impressed with this concealer. I have very purple under-eye circles, so finding something that conceals them well can be difficult. This has almost full coverage and gives my face a "smooth and flawless" look. The only thing I really dislike about it is its staying power... I've noticed that it wears off after about 5-8 hours. Otherwise, I really like this concealer. It's really lightweight, yet provides a super great coverage. It also doesn't have any noticeable scents.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Dry Hair: Brunette Eyes: Brown
I tried this after I saw a woman using it over a yellow corrector on You Tube. My skin tone and circles are dead on to hers, and it worked so well I wanted to experiment.
I use this on top of a corrector and underneath a mineral powder to cover up my Beetlejuice-like hereditary dark circles.
I bought the Neutralizer, it's cooler toned than I would like for my skin tone, but it goes on smooth, blends well (with a beauty blender), is layerable, and has decent coverage.
For gals with lighter circles than mine, this would be great by itself. Used as a trio with other products, blended well (that's the trick) and set with Ben Nye Final Seal, it's great.
I would recommend this product by itself, especially for light-medium tones, light-medium dark circles, and use it with other products if you're seriously fighting dark circles.

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral Hair: Brunette, Relaxed, Fine Eyes: Brown
This is my first experience with this product, I kept eyeing it in stores before I finally caved in and purchased it, I have it in 150 Neutraliser which I guess is the standard for that one. I was super excited to try it so I immediately wiped off my under eye concealer and began twisting the product. It felt like an eternity before the product actually came out of the tube, and that was a bit frustrating. Once it came out, I applied it under my eyes with the sponge thing and blended it into my eyes- it covers amazingly, and brightens my eyes. I love this. My only complaint besides the infinity twist is the fact that it feels drying under my eyes, but I guess I could add some eye cream before this. Over all, amazing product. Will repurchase. :)

I got this concealer in the shade medium.
The packaging is okay. When I first got it I was literally twisting the top for almost 5 minutes before any product came out. I personally don't use the applicator it comes with but rather my fingers to blend it out.
The price is pretty good. I got it from Target for 7.99 and I think that's a great deal.
-Very lightweight
-Can be worn alone without foundation
-Great for highlighting
-Can crease up
-Very bright with flash photos
-Comes off easily
Texture: Not too creamy and heavy. Just right.
Smell: None as far as I can tell.
I wanted to use this concealer as a highlighter so I got the shade light. My skin is NC35, so it was waaaay too light for my liking. My next purchase, I got the medium shade. I was more comfortable with this shade and it did a nice job highlighting under my eyes. Some things that bothered me were that it creased and its prominence when you take a flash photo. I would say that this concealer isn't really for people with severe dark circles but I guess you can always build it up to your liking. I also like to make an upside down triangle under my eye to highlight not only my under eyes but also above my cheekbones.

I really like this concealer!
I have very good skin, clear and even. But horrid dark circles. I like to but some eye cream or face lotion on my under eyes, then apply a layer of this wait for it to dry then add another layer.
It lasts a good eight hours on me! It doesn't crease, or settle into lines or pores. And it does have a good level of pigmentation. My only complaint is I find it a bit drying. It can make my under eye area look a bit flaky and dry after a few hours of wear.
other than that it's a great concealer that i'v been reaching for over my MAC concealers!

I have come across people who love this concealer, but I can't get into it. Admittedly, it probably has something to do with the fact that it doesn't cover my dark circles, but I don't know that that's the product's fault. I have very dark circles and very fair skin, so it's probably more difficult for me to correct the undereye area than the average user. If your dark circles don't have the deep blue/purple cast that mine do, this may be worth a shot. For me, I feel like it diffuses the darkness a bit, but it does result in a slight gray tint to my undereye area.
I'm also not into the packaging of this product. Count me among the users who are sort of weirded out by the sponge applicator (I can't wash it? I don't know about that). I've also known the applicator to break -- as in, you keep twisting and nothing happens. Hasn't happened to me, but friends of mine who have tried this have come across that problem.
If you do have mild/moderate dark circles, this product might be a good pick -- it's inexpensive, and I know a lot of drugstores will accept returns on even used makeup, so you can't really lose. If you have really dark circles, though, keep looking!

I bought this today after reading reviews and I'm SOOO impressed!! Mine is called something different though. Not sure if its a newer or older version. It's called- Instant Anti Age The Eraser Eye.
When choosing the shade, I had a choice of 2. Light or nude. Seeing as I love the Kim Kardashian effect, I chose the light to brighten.
The texture isn't thick or cloggy and covers beautifully. After an hour I had NO creasing. I usually do with every other eye concealer I've tried.
I don't mind the sponge applicator. I used it to dab it on in a triangle under eye and use ring finger to press in.
I'm recommending it to all my friends and well worth the £7.99!

I hated this product. Even before I realized I had an allergic reaction, which I've never gotten from makeup I thought it was too thick & the packaging it comes in is awful. I felt like I was twisting it forever. I also felt it was high priced for a drugstore concealer.

Do Not Go Quietly: Real Solutions and Empowering Strategies For People Who Weren't Born Yesterday
Sage wisdom from George & Sedena Cappannelli, inspiring truth-tellers and passionate, articulate spokespeople for a vast generation whose issues are being ignored and whose talents, experience & wisdom are not being honored –
Collected Works Bookstore – 6:30 p.m. Thursday – April 25
For GenXers (40 to 45), Boomers (46 to 64) and Elders (65+) who want to live more consciously and age wisely and for those under 40 who want to better prepare for the road ahead
Straight talk, valuable life strategies, practical tools and inspiring messages for the 150 million Americans who will soon be 50 years and older -- and for younger people who want to know more about the road ahead and be better prepared for the world they will be soon inherit.
These are just some of the things George and Sedena Cappannelli deliver in their eminently accessible new book Do Not Go Quietly, A Guide To Living Consciously and Aging Wisely For People Who Weren't Born Yesterday.
George and Sedena--co-founders of AgeNation, experts on societal, organizational and individual change; internationally known consultants, coaches and authors--will offer wisdom from their book at a book signing and presentation at Collective Works Bookstore and Coffeehouse in Santa Fe at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 25
Do Not Go Quietly reflects the Cappannelli's inspiring theme: "We are never too old or too young to live the lives we were born to live." The inspiring duo hold that the gift of the new third act of life should not be taken lightly or lying down. In the presentation, the Cappanelli's will touch on practical and relevant recommendations on choices we can make to lead more satisfying and successful lives. And how we can reclaim our rightful place as adults and elders in a world that values youth more than experience.
Advocates for the generation that wasn't born yesterday, the Cappannelli's will inspire and empower you to reinvigorate the years after 50 and discuss ways to leave behind a legacy of greater hope and consciousness for those who come after.

Even though this game was released prior to the 197.41 driver, its results are less impressive than they were in F1 2010 and Aliens vs. Predators. Overall, we still see improvements , but the situation is less clear when we examine them from one driver to the next.
All graphs show the largest improvement after upgrading to 257.41. At 1680x1050 and 1920x1080 with maxed-out AA/AF values, the drop in performance starts at 260.89 and is followed by another at 266.58. This is largely absent at 2560x1600, where performance doesn't really change after updating to 257.21.

Oh wait... I'm using a GT425M on my notebook... Damn!
1theyohan , April 7, 2011 4:32 AMI hear good things about that new Nvidia 270.51 beta driver.
1dragonsqrrl , April 7, 2011 4:50 AMImpressive results to say the least... well, except for WOW. That has to be a bit of a disappointment for the people who care about that title. But otherwise quite remarkable performance optimizations from the driver team.
I have to agree with the conclusion, due to the recent nature of the Fermi architecture it probably took both Nvidia and developers time to get used to the new hardware. It just wasn't well optimized upon launch. Although I think it's worth noting that it still managed to perform well even on those early drivers.
-1ezodagrom , April 7, 2011 4:55 AMIn the World of Warcraft page instead of saying "Percent Gain from 197.41 to 266.58" it says "Percent Gain from 9.10 to 11.1". ;P

0gofasterstripes , April 7, 2011 9:05 AMTBH it looks like good work from the green team. Cool, my 470 is getting bumped for free [and it's already overclocked to 788/1950 ]
On second thoughts, maybe 'cool' is the wrong word.....
2Mario75 , April 7, 2011 11:17 AMandy5174GTX480/470/465.... Fail
Nope - trolls actually FAIL.Also your "comment" FAIL
0nforce4max , April 7, 2011 12:47 PMmayankleoboy1only 465 was fail. just like the 5830.
Cough 6790
0LATTEH , April 7, 2011 1:50 PMaww i wish you guys did a left 4 dead bench.. since the source engine is one of the must played engines!
0vvhocare5 , April 7, 2011 1:52 PMhmmm an article about graphics and we dont have someone asking which graphics card is best or which one to buy for their next build??
0srgess , April 7, 2011 1:52 PMi have the gtx 480 with gelid cooler and i idle at 36 and load 55 degree and decibel lower then my other pc case fan wich are very silent. it only fail cuz of the original nvidia cooling design, if you had a vapor chamber like the 570 on the gtx480 i bet you its gonna be cooler then 570/580
0grody , April 7, 2011 2:07 PMQuite a lengthy article for a card that TH basically told everyone to skip in favor of the 570/580.
0randyzie , April 7, 2011 2:34 PMAwh...was hoping the 270 beta would be in here
0dgingeri , April 7, 2011 2:46 PMI'm sticking with my 260.99 drivers for my dual GTX 470s. the 266.58 drivers have given me no end of problems, with SLi only being enabled sometimes, while the control panel won't even give me the option to enable it other times. Constant quality issues as well. the 266.58 drivers are horrible. Now I find out the newer drivers drive down my performance on my favorite game. Nvidia is really slacking off on driver quality lately.
1Ogdin , April 7, 2011 4:05 PMLATTEHaww i wish you guys did a left 4 dead bench.. since the source engine is one of the must played engines!
Ya but a 4 slice toaster can run the source engine at over 100 fps no point in using it here.
1travish82 , April 7, 2011 5:31 PMGreat article, but I have one slight bone to pick. Can you explain why you chose to use the 2500K processor? A year ago, that processor wasn't available, so these charts don't really present a real-world situation. I think it would have made a lot more sense if you had used a processor that was in computers a year ago.
017seconds , April 7, 2011 5:37 PMIt seems like it's always a good idea to at least try out new WHQL and beta drivers, since the trend seems to be progressively improved performance overall. This is another area where Nvidia has an advantage in the fact that there are more driver versions available to download, both official and unofficial ones released by board partners.
0dalta centauri , April 7, 2011 6:23 PMnforce4maxCough 6790
6790? If it launched in the replacement of the 5830 it wouldn't have been a fail, or even if they launched around the same time. Overall, it appears the 6790 doesn't have the same issues as the 5830 oriignally had (Or still do).
So, it's a fail although it's a fail mainly due to it's release date.

A slew of female stars are to assemble for Glee creator Ryan Murphy's new film, One Hit Wonders.
Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyoncé are all set to feature in the musical film.
The script will focus on a batch of '90s solo-artist has-beens banding together to form a super group.
Murphy will co-write and direct after reportedly selling the idea for a seven-figure sum to Sony Pictures.
The Lonely Island artist Andy Samberg is potentially playing a role in crafting the music for the film which will more than likely be a world away from 'We Just Had Sex'.
No tentative release date yet, but don't expect to see if One Hit Wonders makes the charts until at least late 2013.

What do you make of the ensemble of female leads? Have you forgiven Murphy for Eat, Pray, Love? Probably not, but let us know below.

The Boys #72 Appears To Be Garth Ennis' Final Word On Superheroes | Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors
Expect a lot of love for this series as it closes out. People here are always asking for recommends...here is a great place to start. Except for the final storyline all of the other issues are collected in tpb's. Go get em.If that cover by Darick Robertson is anything to go by that it. Darick is returning to draw the final issue of The Boys, published by Dynamite in November.
The Boys began as a Justice League story requested by DC Comics from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, that Dan DiDio recommended be rewritten with new characters and given to their Wildstorm imprint to publish, though DC would later deny that the New York offices had anything to do with it. The comic, then published by Wildstorm, was a vicious parody of all things superheroic, to the extent that it sickened publisher Paul Levitz so much that he demanded it be cancelled, despite it being Wildstorm's best selling title. A number of publishers tried to negotiate for the rights to continue publication, and DC wishing to be rid of it, hurried that along. The only proviso was that it couldn't go to Marvel or IDW. Dynamite picked up the book and it soon became their best selling title too, regularly beating other DC comics sales in both floppy and collected form.
And six years later, it's time to come to an end. The flush comes in November…

Positive Steps where invited to the City Chambers by the Lord Provost to mark our 25 years in Dundee. . It was an excellent occasion which showcased and recognised the great work Positive Steps undertakes in Dundee
Positive Steps where invited to the City Chambers by the Lord Provost to mark our 25 years in Dundee. . It was an excellent occasion which showcased and recognised the great work Positive Steps undertakes in Dundee
Positive Steps would like to congratulate Marisol Lopez and Jurij Aleksandrov on their outstanding First Class Honours Degree's. Marisol and Jurij came to Positive Steps on their Voluntary Social Research Placements for the Community Links Module at the University of Abertay, Dundee. This module allows students the opportunity to apply Social Theoretical knowledge to a working environment.
Positive Steps over the last year have listened to the views and concerns of current Service Users and the wider community, as regards the Care and Support provided to them at present.
One of the key concerns are, the time that people were being assisted to bed and how they could not attend evening activities to socialise because they had NO support to do so.
This is when Positive Steps FLEXI CARE was developed, a not for profit service based on the needs of the individual. The main service we offer is our Twilight Assistance Service, between the hours of 8pm – 2am, to enable an individual to be assisted to social events or have a later call from a trained Carer to assist them to bed at a time they wish.
If you are already receiving Care and are unhappy with the times it is provided, speak with your Local Social Work Department (Dundee City Council) or Positive Steps directly. We can support you to have this reviewed. Through Self Directed Support "You Decide When and How", your Care should be received, specific to your individual needs.
Positive Steps FLEXI CARE teams, can help with all aspects of planning your Care. Through Self Directed Support you can choose who, how and when you receive the support you need to reach your full potential.
To find out more about how we could help you, please call us on the number listed above, we are only too happy to help.
Come join us and celebrate our 25 years at our Silver Jubilee 'Soiree' Charity Event. We are celebrating our past and present work enabling vulnerable Individuals and communities to overcome their mulitiple barriers to independent living so they can reach their full potenetial. Positive Steps "25 YEARS of REAL PEOPLE REAL SOLUTIONS" where your funding really does..
The Dinner/Dance Event will be held at the Apex Hotel on Saturday 1st of November at 7pm and will finish at 1am.

For those who enjoy exploring a new destination by bike, there are numerous cities around the United States that have vibrant bike cultures. Whether you're looking for pleasant riverfront pathways or challenging racecourses these cities have what you're looking for. To help you plan a bike-friendly trip, here are the best cities for cycling in the U.S.
Featuring over 55 miles of bike lane, 50 miles of bike paths, 100 miles of designated on-street bike routes and more than 2,000 bike racks, Milwaukee is a top biking city in the United States. All around downtown you'll see locals riding their bikes through the different neighborhoods to get where they need to go, or enjoying the scenic Milwaukee Riverwalk or the 96-mile Oak Leaf Trail that encircles Milwaukee County by cycle. You can rent a bike from Whirlwind Bike Trips and Rentals (2410 N. Murray Avenue), Milwaukee Bike & Skate Rental (McKinely Marina) or Ben's Cycle & Fitness (1018 W. Lincoln Avenue), to name a few. If you're staying at the Hotel Metro they offer their guests free use of their bicycles. For a fun way to explore Milwaukee's beer culture by bike, Brew City Bike Tours offers a range of beer tours by bicycle with different focuses, for example, Pub Spin, History 101 and Bite and Bike. Additionally, Pedal Tavern is an unusual 16-person bicycle pub and brewery crawl where you and your fellow beer enthusiasts will work together to pedal an enormous bike-meets-trolly around downtown Milwaukee in search of local brews. Milwaukee also hosts an annual Bicycle Film Festival, which celebrates cycling through visual media.
One the country's most fit and bike-friendly cities, Austin is home to scenic routes, open-road courses, five different greenbelts, 166 miles of bike lanes and more than 4,500 bike racks. If you don't have your own bike there are many places to rent in Austin. Probably the most popular rental store is Lance Armstrong's Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop (400 Nueces Street). Here you can rent bikes; have them serviced; purchase parts, gear and apparel; make use of their lockers and showers; and take part in one of their regularly scheduled group rides. For those wanting a scenic biking experience, head to Zilker Metropolitan Park, the city's largest park at 351 acres and the place from which you can access the 7.9-mile scenic Barton Creek Greenbelt and the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail.
Boston wasn't always a bike-friendly destination; however, the current Mayor Menino is passionate about bringing bike culture to the city. In fact, his Boston Bikes initiative has brought cycling programs, bike sharing, cycling events, improvements to infrastructure for bikers and recognition of business owners who support local biking in Boston. You'll find numerous bike rental shops throughout the city, some of which include Mel's Hyde Park Bike (74 Fairmount Avenue), MyBike (516 E 2nd Street) and Superb Bicycle (842 Beacon Street). Additionally, the New Balance Hubway bike share program allows you to borrow bikes and leave them around the city for a small fee. Spend time biking through the 265 acres of Arnold Arboretum, as well as enjoying the 14-mile Paul Dudley White Charles River Bike Path Loop that follows the Charles River and the 4.7-mile Southwest Corridor Park Trail that follows the commuter rail lines. Moreover, Boston hosts an array of cycling-focused events, like Bike Week, Bike Friday and Hub on Wheels.
With 373-miles of unofficial bike routes and about 95% of the streets open to cyclists, Boulder is a great city to enjoy some cycling. The cycling culture is strong , as locals use bikes to commute and for recreation while hardcore athletes head to Boulder to test their endurance against the city's high altitude. You can rent a bike from University Bicycles (839 Pearl Street), Sports Garage (2705 Spruce Street) or Full Cycle (1795 Pearl Street). The city is also home to a bike share program called Boulder B-cycle where you can borrow bikes from the city, picking them up nearby and dropping them off near your destination, for a small fee. Make sure to check out the 45-acre Valmont Bicycle Park featuring cycling trails, racecourses and obstacles. Some top mountain biking trails include the 2.5-mile Betasso Preserve Trail with its open meadows and aerial Boulder views; the 7-mile Heil Valley Ranch Trail with lots of woodland and an overlook; and the 5-mile Meyers Homestead Trail, which is fairly easy and enjoyable. For a great bike trail in town, try the 7-mile Boulder Creek Path which runs along Boulder Creek.
Portland has paved the way for cycling in the country, setting an example for other cities looking to improve their biking programming and infrastructure. The city hosts an array of classes, workshops, groups rides, women's bike clinics, senior citizen cycling programs, bike routes and bike parking spots. You can rent a bike from Clever Cycles (900 SE Hawthorne Boulevard), Veloce Bicycles (3202 SE Hawthorne Boulevard) and Fat Tire Farm (2714 NW Thurman Street), to name a few. There will also be a bike share program launching in 2014. Some great cycling spots in Portland include Forest Park, which is full of single-track mountain bike trails and is the country's largest urban preserve; the pleasant 51-mile Big Eastside Loop which allows you to explore the trail system on the Portland metro area's easy side; and the 11-mile scenic Waterfront Loop.

The QueQue
The QueQue: Occupied
Published: October 12, 2011
Almost everyone likes a party in our fiesta town (though not necessarily every party). Give this one a try? The next Occupy San Antonio rally is a 6 p.m. Wednesday drum circle at HemisFair Park. Then on Saturday, a larger rally is planned from noon to 3 p.m. at South Alamo and Caesar Chavez. More info online at various FB pages, including Occupy San Antonio.
InfoWars intervenes
Sure, some parts of the country joined the Occupy Wall Street movement before Texas got in the act, but hey, here in SA folks have a tendency to show up at parties late. As actions raged in Austin and Houston last week, Occupy San Anto rallies began Thursday at Travis Park. Then in a convivial "let's all get-along" gesture they moved to HemisFair Park at the request of City Hall. Damn, we're polite. The weekend's rain cut the crowd down to a dozen or so drummers at HemisFair when we stopped in on Saturday, but a rally at the SA branch of the Dallas Federal Reserve greeted Sunday morn with — Alex Jones, Austin-based conspiracy theorist extraordinaire. Jones' website, infowars.com, lists fellow 9/11 "Truthers" Charlie Sheen, Chuck Norris, and Jesse Ventura as prominent guests on his nationally syndicated talk radio show. Jones was in town to spread the word that the Fed is, well: Evil. Are the SA Occupiers tilting towards Ron Paul's campaigning anti-Fed message? Some have cast Occupy as a hipster Tea Party contingent, but rather than bashing Congress, Occupiers have honed in on Wall Street, "bankters," and multi-national corporations as the main usurpers of the public good. What they most dislike (to be kind) are not just the bank bail-outs, but that banks aren't passing along a chance at the gold ring to the everyday guys and gals, the so-called 99%. That moniker points to another number, not so well-known, the 1% who own a quarter of our economy. But perhaps the most exciting thing is the exchange of ideas taking place. It's not an anomoly, after all: sit-ins rode hand-in-glove with teach-ins. And even earlier: During the republican era of classical Athens, it was thought that all citizens (slaves didn't count) in the city should be able to hear the voice of a speaker at the same time, the better to disagree on the spot, if they so desired. If there were too many to fit in (and hear) in the amphitheater, it was time for another colony. Does the same hold in the era of Twitter? Amplification is one thing, communication another. Could it be (to paraphrase Marshall McLuhan) "no media is the message"?
'These are our demands... Can you read that back to me?'
Occupy protesters in SA say they're trying earnestly to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, the hundreds of stalwart activists that have swarmed New York City for weeks. The Zuccotti Park contingent have marched, shouted, "occupied," and passed along their "demands for Congress" — demands like reinstating key provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act, identifying and prosecuting "Wall Street Criminals," implementing sweeping lobbying reform, revamping the Securities and Exchange Commission, rolling back the Supreme's Citizens United decision, and ending corporate personhood.

The volume on early modern sexualities that I have co-edited with Prof. Linda L. Carroll and Prof. Katherine A. McIver has just been sent to Ashgate's production department to be printed! I'm very excited! The essays are marvelous, of course, and it now bears a comprehensive index, courtesy of Samantha Bassler. Thank you to our contributors: Catherine Baxter, Paul Schleuse, Catherine Lawless, Anthony Cummings, Flavio Rurale, Christophe Brouard. And a special thanks to my co-editors Katherine McIver and Linda Carroll.
Born This Way?
At the BBC Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival back in November, Julie Bindel argued that sexuality is not fixed but a choice. Her talk (Not Born This Way) is well worth a listen. It's about 45 minutes, including a short audience discussion. I want to follow up with a longer discussion of this in a few weeks, work and personal commitments permitting.
Female Femininity, Female Masculinity, or Beyoncé Gets It Right, Gaga Gets It Wrong
I don't have a TV so I missed the 2011 MTV VMA awards in Los Angeles the other night, but I was on Twitter and news travels fast there. I heard about Beyoncé's pregnancy and Lady Gaga's drag act pretty quickly. What interested me as I read my timeline and followed up with some news items later is the different attitudes to Beyoncé and Gaga's performances. Everyone is thrilled by Beyoncé's bump, while there's been a fair bit of criticism of Jo Calderone. Perhaps that would have happened anyway. One of my fave comic book writers, Brian Michael Bendis, tweeted that he has nothing against cross-dressing, he just doesn't like bad performance art, but that is not what has exercised the right-wing press. It seems that the side-by-side performances of female femininity and female masculinity prompted pointed remarks about the disavowal of conventional femininity by one of the protagonists. One the one hand, there was Beyoncé, happily performing her reproductive heterosexuality with Jay-Z (and congratulations to them), and on the other, Jo's kiss being refused by Britney with the phrase, "I've done that already".
What is abundantly clear is that Gaga/Jo's performance troubled gender categories more than either Britney or Beyoncé's. There have been grumbles (from the usual quarters) that she went over the top, took it too far. Much has been made of Jo reportedly using the men's loos, thus crossing a physical gender boundary. I will leave it to other feminist or pop culture bloggers to pull these complaints apart and interrogate them in detail. Here, I just want to look briefly at a couple of quotes .
FoxNews's report not only gets exercised about the performance extending beyond the stage to off-stage zones (the male restrooms get a mention in the title) but cannot resist mentioning the masturbation reference, and the kiss. It uses the classic strategy of including titillating details in a moral admonition. The piece ends with comments by two men in the music industry.
"Gaga's shtick wore out its welcome in the first two minutes. In her effort to be original and run away from the cube hat wearing copycats, like Katy Perry, I think she might have pushed the audience too far," said Los Angeles-based television and music producer, Edward Paige. "People originally embraced Gaga because in all her quirkiness was authentic in that she didn't fit in. But stepping outside the more comfortable vixen role could hurt her. Does MTV or its throngs of little girls' fans want a diva that looks like Ralph Macchio doing a Lenny Bruce routine? I doubt it."
The complaint is apparently that Gaga-as-Joe is inauthentic whereas Gaga-as-Gaga is not. However, Paige immediately contradicts his statement of the authenticity of Gaga's quirkiness with his observation that Gaga was performing a "vixen role" and thus it was neither authentic or particularly quirky (because it's a recognisable type). So, Gaga's performances are all inauthentic, but some are more inauthentic than others. Female performance of highly sexual femininity++ is less inauthentic than female performance of highly sexual masculinity++, presumably because of a perceived alignment between the body and the role (sex & gender). [Plenty of theorists have debunked that distinction; if you're looking for reading material, I recommend Judith Butler, Bodies That Matter and Elizabeth Grosz, Volatile Bodies.] Clearly Paige feels that aligning body and role/costume makes more business sense. (Did he miss the speculation that Gaga was a drag queen, I wonder?) It's kinda hard to subject the paragraph to much in the way of analysis because bits of it are really quite unclear. Did Paige mean the fans were little girls, or that the performers, the divas, were little girls? The apostrophe could be an error. One thing's for sure: it really reeks of condescension toward women—performers and fans.
Fox's second music business response comes from Jed Smith, who opens up a slightly different dimension.
"Gaga's persistence as 'Joe Calderone' degraded an otherwise enjoyable VMAs, and stood in stark contrast to tasteful and classy presentations by the likes of Adele. Gaga's performance art philosophy may excuse this, but it remains a poor execution of what, at this point, falls squarely into predictably 'random' pattern of behavior," added Jed Smith, head of music composition company, Beta Fish. "If Gaga's going to be a guy, she should be the biggest bear on the stage, not some sleazy beta karate kid knock off!"
The main complaints here revolve around class. Adele gets the thumbs up for being "tasteful" and "classy". Gaga's performance was not well done and in poor taste, apparently in part because it was for the duration of the event; one wonders whether Adele ceased being Adele at some point during the show. 'Predictably "random"' evokes the classic figure of the unruly woman who just ruins everything. The complaint here appears to be that Gaga was not classy as a woman. I found the last sentence a little more surprising: Jo Calderone was not classy as a guy, and Gaga's mistake was to perform the wrong kind of masculinity. I am kinda curious whether Gaga as, say, George Clooney would have made much difference (assuming that his is the right kind of masculinity).
The International Business Times is ahead of Fox News: they did a bit of research. Turns out Jo made his debut in Vogue Hommes Japan in 2010. Jo is a mechanic from New Jersey (his family is Sicilian, from Palermo) with a penchant for muscle cars and an ambition to own his own car shop. One things seems certain: Jo Calderone will be making future appearances.
