"Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician." - Jeff Cooper, as posted by @Guns_com
Owning a gun does not make you a marksman, that is true. Yet you hear about people who through misbehavior and hijinks, get shot by a dog on a hunting trip. You don't hear about a dog accidentally performing covers of Jimi Hendrix when he paws at a guitar.
And I don't think in armed robberies, anyone stops to ask the criminal "Are you a gun owner in the lame high schooler playing guitar in his garage until he's bored with it way? Or are you armed in the Eric Clapton way?"

Doug Arthur joins TiER1 Performance Solutions in Covington as managing director of the community engagement services team. Arthur previously served as executive director of the INTERalliance of Greater Cincinnati.
TiER1 has been an active member of the INTERalliance, a nonprofit organization Arthur co-founded in 2005 to stop the "brain drain" and retain the region's top IT talent, since 2008. INTERalliance connects local high school students with businesses to provide paid internships, career camps, and mentoring. The organization has grown to include partnerships with more than 90 employers, four universities, and 75 high schools.
TiER1 plans to leverage Arthur's expertise and the successful, one-of-a-kind INTERalliance community engagement model to make a difference in cities across the U.S. and internationally. Arthur and his team (in partnership with global IT services leader Atos) have already begun offering community engagement services in Fort Wayne, IN; San Diego, CA; and to the RITE Board in Northeast Ohio (serving Cleveland, Akron, and Canton). Expansion is planned for Iowa City and several cities in Europe over the next few years.

The ancient craft of willow furniture

through Europe and
I have always been driven to use a variety of materials to express my
concepts and design ideas in both sculptural and painterly forms.
Willow has proved to be a convenient foil for me forging the divide
between sculpture, design,and function. Whist working with Willow I
have come to realize how a resource can be scorned in a foreign
environment but still transport its cultural heritage. I am also
interested in figurative and landscape painting and have included a
couple of recent works in this exhibition."

'Cats crush Rebels down low for W
It's no secret that Ole Miss' frontcourt play has been lacking for most of the season. Going up against a future first-round NBA Draft pick in Kentucky freshman Julius Randle did nothing to make it better. (February 19, 2014, Page 6)
Ole Miss falls to No. 18 Kentucky
BLOG — Jarvis Summers scored 22 points, Anthony Perez had 21 points and Marshall Henderson added 18, but Ole Miss had no answer for Kentucky's inside presence in an 84-70 loss at C.M.

With everybody in the house the first round at the Kingsmill Championship Presented by JTBC is history and the scene's set for Friday morning, if the weather cooperates. Azahara Munoz finally dialed in her game today and carded a bogey-free 65. Second year player Austin Ernst, who's missed more cuts than she's made this year, matched her. Together they share the overnight lead, one stroke ahead of Hee Young Park, who's still hunting her first 2014 top-10 finish. But in a field of 144, 49 players — about a third of the field — shot sub-par rounds and are starting Friday within five strokes of the top of the board. The tournament that's gone to a playoff in 2012 and 2013 is as wide-open as a competitive athletic event can be.
Chasing the Lead
There's a crowd of seven starting the second round trailing co-leaders Azahara Munoz and Austin Ernst by two strokes, among them defending champion Cristie Kerr, 2014 Kraft Nabisco champion Lexi Thompson, Rolex Ranked number 16 Lizette Salas, who has two top-10 finishes this year and is on the hunt for her first pro win, and Kathleen Ekey, who's a bit of a surprise.
Ekey, who's ranked 351 by Rolex, is playing her third year on the Tour with no top-10 finishes. She's entered seven events this year and made the cut only once, at the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic, which she finished in a tie for 44th place. But today Ekey pulled out her A game and went to work, hitting eleven of the fourteen fairways, making fourteen greens in regulation, and making her way around the course with an economical 26 putts, the same number required by the LPGA's putting wizard, Stacy Lewis. Where has this game been for the last three months? And perhaps more critical, will Ekey bring it back to the second round?
Lewis v Ko
With a victory at Kingsmill, either Stacy Lewis or Lydia Ko could bump Inbee Park off the top of the rankings. How did they play today? They both carded 70. Lewis was getting a bit more distance off the tee than Ko, and was much more economical on the putting surface, but Ko, playing her usual game of targeted precision, hit more fairways and greens in regulation. As the weather deteriorates and playing conditions become more challenging, Ko's game could well prove the advantage, although Lewis may settle into a more accurate rhythm tomorrow.
The Kingsmill Resort River Course, running along the historic James River, is providing a picturesque backdrop for this popular LPGA event. With first round scores running low and a threatening overnight weather change, I'm anticipating some dramatic ups and downs on the leaderboard during the second round.
Weather permitting, second round play will begin at 7:30am Friday and Golf Channel will provide a delayed broadcast of the round's highlights beginning at 8:30pm Eastern Time.

Nationally Ranked Locally Trusted | (303) 436-6000
Upcoming Workshop Dates
Stay tuned for 2015 workshop dates!
Applying Lean tools, such as 5S and Kaizen events, is an excellent way to improve the quality of care and generate significant improvements, but sustaining those gains and instilling an ongoing improvement mindset among all leaders and staff are the keys to achieving lasting improvement. This course will help you integrate ongoing lean improvements into your organization's daily work and make continuous improvement a part of everyone's job.
This session will introduce participants to lean concepts for leadership roles and illustrate the differences between lean leadership and typical management-by-objective models. Participants will also learn about how the five critical elements of a lean management system work together: standard work, leadership standard work, visual management, strategy deployment, and deployment and spread of improvement.
This workshop is designed to be highly interactive and participative, with minimal lecture. Attendees will leave with a personal action plan for key integration steps within their organization, including the following:
Who should attend: Leaders and staff at all levels that are currently engaged in a lean journey, and want to learn how to evolve their program to the next level with daily management. Background knowledge of lean tools and principles are beneficial.

Limited capacity at Catholic schools for vouchers
Louisiana's Catholic schools could take in only a sliver of the students who would be eligible under Gov. Bobby Jindal's proposal to use state tax dollars to send children to private schools. As many as 380,000 students would meet the eligibility requirements under Jindal's reform plans. But under an informal tally by The Associated Press, the state's Catholic schools—which make up two-thirds of the state's private and parochial schools—estimate they could enroll at most about 1,000 of those voucher students. That would greatly limit the capacity of whatever program might get approval from lawmakers in the upcoming session beginning March 12, raising questions about why the Republican governor is pushing so hard for the legislation and whether opponents are overreacting when predicting a voucher program could decimate public school funding.

If they don't give Shyvana a stun or some passive way to slow, then they need to drastically change the way her fury is generated.
This has nothing to do with the players- she's just outdated by champions like Vi who has 100% control of what she does (on top of replacing Shyvana's every role in melee).
Hopefully something will get done about Shyvana being replaced by other champs that do her job in melee better.

Grading Bernanke: A Symposium
Thursday, March 27, 2008
Filed under: Economic Policy
At a time of severe anxiety in the financial world, has the Fed acted wisely? Five experts share their thoughts.
Amid widespread financial turmoil and talk of recession, we asked five experts at the American Enterprise Institute to grade and assess the Federal Reserve's recent policy decisions. Here are their responses.
I would give the Federal Reserve an A for intentions but a C- for execution.
With the recent "forced sale" of Bear Stearns, on top of an over-leveraged economy and credit crunch largely of the Fed's own making, systemic monetary reform should again be put on the agenda. Here's why.
Milton Friedman's empirical investigations into monetary history led him to declare that inflation was always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon. A corollary of this axiom is that all durable recessions are the result of errant monetary policy; that is to say, every boom contains the seed of its own bust. This is not because of any inherent instability in a capitalist economy, but because an excessively loose monetary policy generates falsified low interest rates, which generate malinvestment in capital goods sectors such as housing. Because this capital investment is not backed by real savings, consumer time preferences are distorted and there is no effective demand (that is, consumer preferences backed by requisite buying power) for much of the resulting output. Cancelled projects, misallocated resources, bankruptcies, and lay-offs must, therefore, ensue.
Between December 2000 and June 2004, the fed funds rate was reduced from 6.5 percent to 1 percent, and for at least three years real interest rates were negative. From June 2004 to September 2007, the fed funds rate rose back to 5.25 percent, ending the boom and revealing significant capital malinvestment. The economic slowdown we have entered is a necessary consequence of this stop-go monetary policy, which has also hurt the U.S. dollar and guarantees higher inflation and interest rates in the future.
With respect to the Fed's steering of Bear Stearns into JPMorgan Chase's arms, the Bank of England's nationalization of Northern Rock PLC is a distinction with little difference. This was an unprecedented act of government intervention, and it opened a new era in U.S. financial history. A Bear Stearns bankruptcy would have been painful to the firm's clients, owners, employees, and trading counterparties. Other bank balance sheets would have collapsed in cascading fashion, causing a recession. But at least capital assets could have been repriced and credit unlocked. Instead, moral hazard, already inherent in financial markets due to the very existence of the Fed as a lender of last resort, has now been fully actualized and taken to a new level, with the Fed as a "buyer of first resort." Very painful failures lie ahead, and we can expect a much longer recession.
Indeed, we have entered an era of unpleasant choices, with a fiat currency run by a monopoly issuer undergirding an extremely leveraged fractional reserve banking system. Worse, since the dollar is the de facto international reserve currency, we have long "exported" inflation abroad as the Fed accommodated the fiscal demands of the U.S. political system. Dollar stability, low inflation, and investment-led growth will now be sacrificed in the coming unavoidable reversal.
Rather than provide a framework for monetary stability, the Fed has been an engine of instability in recent years, in terms of policy and regulatory execution. The sure result is slower economic growth.
John L. Chapman is an NRI fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
The Federal Reserve should be highly commended for its bold and innovative measures aimed at stabilizing financial markets. I would give it a grade of A-.
After vacillating for far too long in the second half of 2007, the Fed is now demonstrating that it fully grasps the risks posed by the housing bust and the associated credit crunch. The Fed is now signaling that it will do whatever it takes to avert a financial market meltdown, which is welcome news.
Since the start of this year, the Fed has slashed interest rates by a full 2 percentage points, and it has indicated that it stands ready to cut interest rates further as needed. These measures must be applauded, since the U.S. economy shows every sign of having entered a recession (and possibly a severe one). Faced with the prospect of a Japanese-style crisis developing, the Fed is correct to be paying more attention to the risk of recession than to the risk of stoking inflation.
The Fed has been highly innovative in responding to the financial market strains. By introducing Term Auction Facilities and by opening the Fed's discount window to all primary dealers, the Fed has provided the market with much needed liquidity at a time of unusual stress. By engineering the takeover of Bear Sterns, the Fed has also averted what might have been a financial market collapse.
Looking forward, it is far from clear that the Fed can avert a nasty recession by itself. The current situation calls for greater policy coordination between the Fed and the U.S. Treasury to arrest the housing market's downward spiral, which has been the main source of the credit crisis.
Desmond Lachman is a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
I would give the Federal Reserve either a C or C-, reflecting an average of one good grade and one poor grade.
The Fed has two responsibilities. Monetary policy should be conducted to maintain economic and price stability. That calls for well-timed changes in short-term interest rates. Credit or lender-of-last-resort actions should maintain the payment and settlement system. This requires the Fed to lend reserves to the market when it lacks liquid assets that can be used to settle claims.
Monetary policy is too lax at present. The Fed has done too much to prevent a possible recession and too little to prevent another round of inflation. Its mistake comes from responding to pressure from Congress and the financial markets. The Fed has sacrificed its independence by yielding to that pressure. As a result, real short-term interest rates are negative. Borrowers are being paid to borrow. Negative real rates were a cause of the current problem; they are not a cure. The Fed must raise interest rates in order to prevent inflation.
On the other hand, the Fed's credit policy has been good. It has been alert to problems in the payment and settlement system. Banks and financial institutions are uncertain about the solvency of other institutions, so they prefer to hold cash rather than to lend it. The traditional way to solve problems of this kind is to provide as much cash as the market wants. And indeed, the Fed has invented new ways of pumping reserves and liquid assets (Treasury bills) into the market. This has helped to prevent a genuine market crisis—at least so far. The Fed did not "bail out" Bear Stearns. It arranged a sale that wiped out the equity and replaced the management without closing the firm.
The Fed's only mistake was to guarantee $30 billion of Bear's portfolio. This action transferred potential losses from the market to the taxpayers. I do not believe the present system can remain if the bankers make the profits and the taxpayers share the losses.
Allan H. Meltzer is a professor of political economy at Carnegie Mellon University and a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.
I give the Fed an A-.
When government financial officers, like Treasury secretaries and Federal Reserve chairmen, stare into the abyss of potential financial chaos, they always decide upon government intervention. And so they should. In the first place, nobody wants to go down in ignominy for doing nothing in the face of financial collapse. Secondly, nobody will or should take the risk of triggering the unnecessary financial and economic destruction of a debt deflation. So they always intervene.
The intervention must take the form of expanding the risk to the government and hence to the taxpayers, which generates arguments against it. The counterargument is that a financial collapse will also extract great cost from the government and the taxpayers.
In a panic, the desire for return on capital is replaced by the desire for return of capital (as Will Rogers said); uncertainty premiums grow extremely high; and everybody wants a government guarantee. To supply the market with the government guarantees it craves, government debt and government balance sheets must expand, either through loans to finance risky positions or by purchasing risky assets. In this way, the government balance sheets intermediate between the panicky market's excessive demand for safety and risk assets. Their expansion allows private balance sheets to reduce risk. It should always be temporary and limited to the crisis.
The Fed was created to perform this function after the Panic of 1907, and since the Panic of 2007 it has been responding to the same fundamental problem. But other government balance sheets are expanding, as well, notably those of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs). In fact, the Fed's discount window lending is vastly outweighed by that of the FHLBs, which have lent $99 billion to Citibank, $51 billion to Countrywide, and $44 billion to Washington Mutual, to name three pressed borrowers. Meanwhile, the Federal Housing Administration's contingent liabilities for credit risk are expanding rapidly.
All of this recalls Walter Bagehot's celebrated dictum that to quell a panic you must "lend freely." The most pointed example is the Fed's deal to avoid the failure of Bear Stearns. By demonstrating that it had the will to do whatever was necessary, and convincing the market that it will do whatever is necessary—"lending freely," generously interpreted—the Fed succeeded in stopping what would likely have been other panicked runs on financial firms.
Of course, one could quibble with the details. The Fed is taking the risk on the ultimate value of $29 billion in illiquid securities, which is effectively a new capital contribution. This should in principle be senior to Bear Stearns's common stock, $350 million of preferred stock and $1.3 billion of subordinated debt, which should bear losses ahead of any losses to the Fed. But time was short, the situation was complex, events were pressing, the abyss was in view, and action was required.
It will not be the last action taken as a result of the great housing bubble of the 21st century.
Alex J. Pollock is a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
I think the Federal Reserve gets an A for "Effort," a B for "Works Well with Others," a C for "Oral and Written Expression," and an F for "Tidiness."
The Fed deserves praise for stepping into a dangerous situation with an imaginative solution (thus, an A for "Effort"). There is no question in my mind that a collapse of Bear Stearns at that moment in time would have been a disaster. There were no other policy tools available, but the Fed recognized the gravity of the situation and acted quickly with an unprecedented but seemingly effective move.
However, the Fed's role in forcing the management and board of Bear Stearns to accept a low-ball offer from JPMorgan Chase is less praiseworthy (thus, a B for "Works well with others"). At the moment, who exactly brought this pressure is still unclear; but it was unnecessary and did not achieve its purpose.
Apparently there were some at the Fed who thought and said that paying virtually nothing for Bear Stearns somehow eliminated the shadow of a bailout and moral hazard, but this is an illusion (thus, a C for "Oral and Written Expression"). The creditors of Bear were clearly bailed out, and now all creditors will apply reduced market discipline because they will anticipate similar Fed protection.
This leaves the regulatory system in a mess (thus, an F for "Tidiness"). The Fed's actions have summoned the would-be regulators in Congress from the "vasty deep," and if they succeed in turning securities firms into wards of the government, as the banks have become, we will have a much less innovative, profitable, aggressive, competitive, and successful financial system.

Thanks Strawman. Yes for sports is it good. I tested mine at a race today and got great sharp well saturated images at ISO200. Not put any up yet as am peeved with race, drove an 1 1/2 round trip for in the end only 22 riders, so likely no sales and one of them swore at me as he went past. I have complained to the organisers about him
I can imagine for sport it is very good. The Af felt fast, and the lower high ISO noise will no doubt help too, so I hope it works out for you. Sorry about being sworn at ;-(
Features wise, I like the thought of live view but would need to spend a bit of time with the manual as neither me nor the shop people could find the menu to turn it on And as I said it was fast and that could be worth a lot. Plus it did fit the hand well.
My personal priority would be more resolution, a better viewfinder (i.e bigger) and a bigger buffer than my current camera. And lets not forget dynamic range.
Then the second level are things like bigger LCD, spot meter, and improved metering, plus 3 colour levels.
Live view, let me play with it and I will tell you. It has not been high on my list of wants but as I read of people using it I get intrigued. On a compact camera I always felt I wanted an optical viewfinder to feel involved, so did not rate the live view features. It could be I have missed something.
Of course the converse is I should be pleased with how well the camera I have performs.
Went to give it a good try out today but hell of a breeze blowing
First thing that is noticeable is the lack of shutter noise compared to the 20D
Didn't get the normal glares from the twitchers in the hide at Stanwick as is the norm when the 20D kicks in
Has a great feel to it so much so that have decided to leave the grip on the 20D
The large screen is a bonus as well

My prediction is that as dslr cameras move inexorably into the centre ground of camera sales, live view will become the norm in future. It's a feature that many associate with the point and shoot brigade as they mutely hold their piece of silver hardware at arms length to get the definitive shot of some inane situation in front of them - chuckle....sounds like my portfolio
So why, if this is the case, has the 1D range got live view? Because it's a facility worth having as follows -
Live view can be an enhancement during astro and underwater photography and for spectacle wearers. It also enables remote, wireless operation whilst viewing the image on a laptop. Individual focus points can be magnified up to 10x. Shutter release time lag and mechanical noise are reduced in live view mode when using mirror lock up. Live view also offers more precise focusing during close up shots as well as providing a 100% field of view to the observer.
There're no doubt more good reasons to have live view but I expect those mentioned above are sufficient to merit inclusion on a dslr.
Nicely pointed out Jon.
Its something some of us have been using and seeing the benefits of for quite a while, others regarded it as nothing more than a gimick
After playing with my new toy over the weekend I am impressed with it.
The liveview is a good feature, with the AF button allowing autofocus too, which you couldn't do on my 1D MKiii. The live exposure histogram is excellent. It also has a live RGB histogram but for my uses I cannot see how it can help at the "taking the picture" stage.
ISO noise doesn't seem any different to my 20D, but that was acceptable anyway.
Quieter shutter is a bonus, as is the faster fps. I will also be getting the alternative focussing screen, which will be good.
Dissappointed that you can not have an average of spot meter readings, as you can with the 1Ds.
Larger LCD screen is excellent for viewing images but I am concerned that it might be vunerable.
I spent a lot of time taking test shots of colour and text, with the 20D, 40D and 1D at ISO100, 800 and 1600 and to be honest I thought the 40D were the best.
I saved them as 16bit TIFFS with no post production and spent ages zooming up 500%. To be honest there is not THAT much difference. Files sizes are about 50Mb each so not the sort of thing I can post up.
Peter I think we are finding about the same. Compared to a 20D, it sounds like the 40D offers a slight increase in resolution and about the same level of noise performance. Compared to the 10D/300D there is a big improvement in noise at high ISO and a small increase in resolution at low ISO.
But there are features of the camera that are a big upgrade, so is the biggest change the 40D brings is improved ability to take photo's under a variety of conditions rather than absolute improvement in image quality.
Having looked afresh at A3 size prints, I am now wondering just how much resolution I actualy need.
I do a lot of close up and have been having some difficulty focusing accurately with my 350D. What are people's thoughts on the live view with regards to more precise focusing? Does it work well? The screen is only 230,000 pixels...considering Nikon's D300 has 93,000....
It depends what your focusing problem is. Is it that you try to autofocus and it is not correct, or is it that you have trouble seeing the image in the viewfinder well enough to focus the image.
If it is the first, then adopting a manual focusing technique would help. If the latter then yes it may help, but it will depend on ambient light levels. as for LCD accuracy, you need to see one to try.
and the Nikon will cost half as much again over the cost of the 40D, so it should be better. Plus there is the cost of selling your canon macro lense and others. you do have a proper macro lens do you?
So it depends on what your problem is. Sorry.
Quote: what a disappointment
That was my initial reaction, but when I thought about it, it is retailing for about the same price as my 300D was new, and its handling and features are a mile on, so this camera will take photo's with greater sucess than mine in difficult situations. Plus it should be more durable.
and at some time the law of diminishing returns must hit, there are only so many photon's out there
I focus manually (although I did try autofocus just to compare). Either I'm not sure if I've got my focus precise or else I think I have but it turns out soft. I've set dioptre and still have this problem. It could just be that macro is tricky because you need to be spot on with the focus.
The 40D, in addition to Live View, has interchangeable viewfinder screens and I'm wondering if one of these might be an improvement on the 350D.
As you say, I'll just need to go and try one out for myself. As good as Nikon is, I have Canon lenses and don't want to go to the expense of having to sell them and invest in new ones.
And macro is so difficult because it is so sensitive to movement as well. I found using a cable release or mirror lock helps too, as the bounce as you press the shutter on tripod can be so big in macro work. That 10x crop in with live view is said to be good for this. Plus I read you can place the zoom in point anywhere on the LCD and you can make the metering move with it also.Last Modified By strawman at 17 Sep 2007 - 3:36 PM

Aurora theater shooting suspect James Holmes was being treated by psychiatrist
Court papers say the former graduate student accused in the Colorado movie theater shooting was being treated by a psychiatrist at the university where he studied.
The revelation was disclosed Friday in a defense motion. The motion sought to discover the source of leaks to some media outlets that a package that James Holmes sent the psychiatrist contained a notebook with descriptions of an attack.
The motion says the package contained communications between Holmes and Dr. Lynne Fenton that should be shielded from public view.

Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Engaged After Romantic San Francisco Proposal [PHOTOS]
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are officially engaged after West proposed Monday night at AT&T Park in San Francisco.
West rented out the ballpark, home of the San Francisco Giants, and proposed to Kim on the field with a 50-piece orchestra, that played a version of West's song "Knock You Down," and a message on the jumbotron that read "PLEEEASE MARRY MEEE!!!"
The big proposal, which took place on Kim's 33rd birthday, also featured fireworks and Roman candles, according to E! News.
West got down on one knee and proposed with a 15-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond ring. Kim's good friend Brittny Gastineau posted a photo of the ring on her Instagram account Tuesday, giving fans their first glimpse at the jewelry.
West also brought in close family and friends of the couple to witness the big moment, and they reportedly rushed the couple after Kim said yes. Kourtney Kardashian, Kim's older sister, posted a photo of the proposal on Instagram.
And Kim's close friend, Jonathan Cheban, who makes frequent appearances on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, also posted a photo on Instagram from the big event, writing that it was a "Grand Slam type of night!"
Sister Khloé Kardashian-Odom took to Twitter to express her joy for the happy couple, writing that she was shedding "Tears of JOY!"
Wow!!!!! Am I dreaming??!?!— Khloé (@KhloeKardashian) October 22, 2013
Tears of JOY!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!— Khloé (@KhloeKardashian) October 22, 2013
"A match made in heaven! I am so happy for both of my kids, Kim and Kanye," mother Kris Jenner told E! News of the engagement.
Kim and West have been dating publicly for over a year and welcomed their first child, daughter North West, over the summer.
"We've been friends for, like, six or seven years. So, it's very comforting to have someone that knows everything about you, respects you, understands, has gone through similar things… I feel like I'm at a really happy, good space," Kim told Oprah in 2012 on a special Kardashian episode of Oprah's Next Chapter.
"I don't know why it took us so long for us to get together, but I think I needed to go through all my experiences… I think we've always had an attraction for each other, but we've always just been in other relationships or it just wasn't the right timing… And one day, I don't know, it kind of just happened," Kim revealed to Oprah.
Kim's romantic relationship with West began shortly after her 72-day marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries, which all played out on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. West has appeared a few times on the reality show, but the couple has been very vocal about their desire not to play out their relationship in front of the cameras, so it seems doubtful that the world will get another look at a big Kim Kardashian wedding.
This will be Kim's third wedding and West's first marriage.

CSN Bedroom Furniture - Horrible Service/Horrible Company
Posted on Friday, October 9th, 2009 at 7:58am CDT by Anonymous
Company: CSN Bedroom Furniture
Location: Boston, MA, 02199, US
URL: http://www.bedroomFurniture.com/
Category: Other
After ordering a bedroom set online, waiting the two week period for the shipment to ship, time passes and no shipment was made. Several e mails/calls later my order finally shipped three days after the week period of shipment.
Upon receiving the bedroom set I open to find the wrong set. The bedroom set is the from the same manufacture but with a different finish than I ordered. I immediately call and I am told they will have someone call me the next day.I proceed to call the next day after not having received a call by noon and then still three days later I am fighting the company in the fact that I did not recieve what I ordered. In finally had to take pictures and send to them to prove it was a different set, even though the name on the package clearly stated it was a different set.
After another week and numerous calles/e mails they finally sent UPS to pick up the product.They sent me several e mails stating I would receive my FULL refund and no shipping charges would be taken out since this was clearly thier fault. They told me my card could not be credited until the product was back in the warehouse.
Two weeks after the product was back at the warehouse and still there was no post of a credit on my card. I proceeded to call/e mail again CSN customer service. Finally it was posted to my card only the credit was short almost $150.
I am now disputing them through my credit card company and with my e mails and documentation I will be credited the full amount through my VISA card, however this is only because I am so diligent.
The fact is this company has messed up from the begining to the end. The customer service is horrible. They clearly sent the wrong product to me. A month and a half later I still can not get a full refund for a problem I had no control over. I did not even receive what I ordered.
This company has thousands of products online that appear to be at great pricing and so forth. However to anyone who ordereds from there, the money you may or may not save is not worth the hassel for if you have any problems. I will clearly NEVER order anything from this company again!

Following the court decision of January 26, 2012 against Sophie Robert, the attorney Nicolas Benoit, representing Sophie Robert and her company Ocean Invisible Productions, formally summoned "Support the Wall – Autism" on February 22, 2012 to remove the video of the documentary "The Wall" and all excerpts from supportthewall.org, soutenonslemur.org and from the Youtube account of Soutenons Le Mur. Despite a conditional acceptance of the site editor, Mr. Benoit sent a request on March 28, 2012 to Youtube to withdraw the material and Youtube deleted the content immediately.
For some time, Autism Rights Watch, a new non-profit organization incorporated in the State of Delaware, had been editing the websites of "Support The Wall" and "Soutenons Le Mur".
If Autism Rights Watch understands the dire situation of censorship faced by Sophie Robert, the organization is saddened by the fact that French Intellectual Property Code can be exploited to enforce a censorship court decision on foreign soil. Yet Autism Rights Watch will not challenge this decision and will instead reorganize "Soutenons Le Mur" and "Support The Wall". Autism Rights Watch has decided to freeze soutenonslemur.org and to clarify its legal situation. The documentary and excerpts will no longer be available for the time being on http://www.soutenonslemur.org nor on http://www.supportthewall.org.
Autism Rights Watch continues to refuse censorship and will continue to make sure that people outside of France have access to information about Autism in France.
David Heurtevent, spokesperson of "Collectif Soutenons Le Mur", leave the Collectif immediately to focus exclusively on Autism Rights Watch, Inc.
Details of the complete background of the decision and changes of governance and organization are available on http://www.soutenonslemur.org
Please note the following important changes for "Support The Wall – Autism":
- "Support The Wall – Autism" becomes "Autism Rights Watch – Project France",
- The Facebook page "Support The Wall – The Wall" will be closed on April 1, 2012.
- The Youtube account of Soutenons Le Mur will be closed before March 31, 2012.
- The Twitter account @Soutenonslemur will be administered only in English and taken over by Autism Rights Watch,
- The domain names soutenonslemur.org and supportthewall.org will be donated by David Heurtevent to Autism Rights Watch, Inc and the domain name will become the exclusive property of Autism Rights Watch.
More important, the international petition, launched from the United States in January 2012, against Human Rights infringements in Autism in France will be taken over directly by the parent organization. These changes are expected to occur over the coming days and the official website of Autism Rights Watch should also be launched in the coming weeks.
Date: March 29, 2012

ESPN - Source: Mavs and Johnson part ways after team's playoff ouster - NBA
ESPN - Kerr refutes report saying D'Antoni, Suns might part ways - NBA
Printable View
I missed most of the Dallas/NO series this year. Was Avery Johnson as badly out coached these playoffs as he was last year by Don Nelson and the Warriors?
Ever since the Jason Kidd trade, the Mavs couldn't beat a team over .500 for a long while. I think they ended the season after the Kidd trade against .500 teams or better at like... 2-12 or whatever the statistics are.
So bascially, that crappy Mavs team had no chance in hell against New Orleans anyway.
I just like to think that the Lakers had something to do with the Suns and Mavs both getting the boot early in the 1st round because of their desperate trades. =)
A first round exit after the '06 collapse after leading 2-0 in the finals = fired
At least, that's what I figure Mark Cuban is thinking. That guy's got the patience of a house fly in the middle of summer hovering over a pile of dung.

DROID Ultra Limited Edition official, complete with red racing stripe
As we saw in a very early rendering of the newest DROID family devices, there's a Limited Edition of the DROID Ultra out there in the wild. This device has appeared for the first time in "real life", as it were, this week on eBay, some collectors - or employees, more than likely - have taken their units to the auction site to earn a quick buck while they keep to whatever devices they'd rather carry in their pocket. We must assume this means they've all decided to work with a custom-built Moto X, of course.

Keeping Your Color Fresh with Color Sense
Keeping your curls vibrant and shiny isn't easy, especially in the summertime. Color fading is one of the top concerns voiced by clients at our New York Flagship Salon during beach season and our new Color Sense line speaks directly to that!
The shampoo, conditioner and Shine Boosting Color Extender all feature Ouidad's exclusive Color Lock Complex which uses the power of antioxidants and plant based filter to lock in your color and preserve it through frequent shampoos and styling. Think of it as your hair's personal body guard fighting off the damaging effects of free radical invaders and UV infiltrators. City Curls should be using this all year round!
Here are some tips I share with my clients on how to keep their color looking fresh and vibrant beyond their salon visit:
1. Integrating the new Color Sense line into your weekly routine – we all tend to shampoo frequently in the summer, thus causing faster color fade. The shampoo and conditioner are PH balanced, nourishing and contains UV filters which will help prevent sun fading all day long. My favorite is the Shine Boosting Color Extender. All you have to do is use it once a week for 10 minutes to lock the hair cuticle down and prevent color molecules from escaping during shampoos. Results are similar to a clear in salon gloss.
2. Even armed with a great shampoo, try to avoid washing the hair every day and stick to at least every 2-3 days. For the very active curly girls, try our Curl Co-Wash for in between conditioning cleanses.
3. If you are going to the beach and will be in the sun for an extended period of time, cover those curls! Nothing is more chic at the beach or pool then a giant straw sun hat and your favorite sunglasses! For our wavy to curly; mist hair with our Wave Create Sea Spray and apply leave-in Styling Primer such as Whipped Curls. Place hair in messy bun and at the end of the day you will have sexy beach hair.
4. In the summer heat, keep your body and curls hydrated – dry chemically processed curls will fade quickly. The Meltdown Extreme-Repair Mask from the Curl Recovery line great for healing any stressed curls and will create a healthier canvas for a beautiful color. This can be used up to 15 minutes, three times a week- All depending on the needs of your curls.
5. Be careful of chlorine! Clients that spend a lot of time at the pool should definitely be taking extra steps before jumping in. I recommend using the Shine Boosting Color Extender treatment the night before. After your day at the pool don't forget to cleanse and condition with the Color Sense line. Mineral deposits will be banished down the drain leaving your hair will with chlorine free hair and a sealed cuticle. For Blondes this routine is key in preventing the mean chlorine greens!
Enjoy the rest of the summer!
-Ian Dorey Scott, Ouidad Creative Color Director

Recently, I came across a neat script from Dr.Drang for making quick
graphs from the command-line. I thought this would be a nice thing to have
around, since it would save me having to look up all the options to make
gnuplot look decent or remembering how exactly
matplotlib works. I
downloaded the script, tried to run it, and the comedy of errors began:
ImportError: dlopen(.../matplotlib/_png.so, 2): Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libpng15.15.dylib
Referenced from: .../matplotlib/_png.so
Reason: image not found
How vexing, apparently matplotlib wants a different version of libpng than I
have installed. Luckily, I use [
homebrew][brew] to install this sort of
thing, so with only a little bit of searching, I was able to find this
Stack Overflow answer that showed exactly how to get the desired version
of the library I wanted.
Being the hubristic fool that I am though, I assumed that since I wasn't seeing the error that the questioner there was with regards to freetype, I would be fine to only do the first part of the fix and only get the old version of libpng and not bother with getting the specific version of freetype.
Of course, after performing the lengthy rebuild of matplotlib, now I was getting the freetype error, so I had to do the second step anyway. I avoided having to go through the lengthy re-build again though…because now pip was caching the compilation. While this did make it go very quickly, it also meant that it wasn't bothering to try to link things again, so it was still trying to use the wrong version of the library and dying.
After cursing, repeatedly re-building, and trying in vain to discover if pip had
some way to tell it to clean out its cache, I eventually was able to discover
that the temporary build files were being stored in the intuitive location of
/var/folders/4q/v5431hj953g940y4zy9jvg5c0000gn/T/pip-build-james. Muttering
only the mildest of invectives, I deleted the directory, rebuilt matplotlib, and
no longer saw the freetype error! Hooray! Instead, I got an error that my
version of python wasn't built as a framework.
This, of course, was because I've been using pythonbrew (which is now
deprecated) to provide python, so that I don't need to worry about my particular
version of python being overwritten by OS upgrades. There is a flag one can
give pythonbrew to make it build as a framework to avoid exactly this issue, but
I had neglected to provide it when I first set it up, many moons ago. Since, as
best I can determine, there's no way to make pythonbrew just build the
framework, I had to uninstall my current version of python and re-install it,
this time with the
--framework flag. This took a while, but it succeeded, and
I was finally able to run the script! Except now vim, my text editor, was broken.
At this point I was becoming a little more annoyed. Making graphs once in a
while would be nice, but I use vim not only for all of my work, but for
composing emails1 and basically anything that entails composing more than a single
line of text. Now though, any time I tried to start vim, I was rewarded with
nothing but the terse error
ImportError: No module named site.
My first thought was that since I had re-installed python, all the packages had
been nuked, so I just needed to re-install said packages. However, there exists
no package named
site. As best I can determine
site is some sort of magical
meta-package that should just always exist.
After some fruitless
Googling DuckDuckGo-ing, I guessed that it was because
vim was linked against some particular version of python and that having
the pythonbrewed version installed as a framework was causing it some distress.
Suppressing the terrifying flashbacks to the last time I tried to do anything
related to vim linking with python2, I decided to try just
re-installing vim from homebrew, hoping it would pick up the new environment.
Girding my loins, I unlinked my current version of vim, ran
brew install vim
to get the new version…and the build exploded. Suppressing panic, trying not
to imagine a future where I wrote code using a quill and my own blood, I tried
again. And, for reasons I completely fail to understand, it worked. Which
frankly, makes me even more uncomfortable. When something unexpectedly fails,
you can debug and figure out what's going on. When something unexpectedly
succeeds, all you can do is hope that you never lose the favour of the good
faeries in the computer.
So, in summary: Computers are ridiculous, making the smallest change to anything will break everything, and success is more troubling than failure. But at least I can make these sweet graphs!
In fact, while in the throes of dealing with this, I got a time-sensitive email from my step-mother that I couldn't respond to, since vim would crash every time mutt tried to compose a response, forcing me to resort to sending a text message, like an animal. ↩
A long and sordid tale, entailing building vim from source; many, many segfaults; weeping; and no real resolution ↩
I've been fairly quiet online for the last year or so, as I've been fairly heads-down working on quite a few different things. Penyo Pal went through a few iterations and my new startup has been doing a number of different things.
Most of what I've been doing is closed-source for now, but we've been wanting to start open-sourcing our stuff. To help start that process, I decided to try to compile a list of the stuff I've built over the last little while that we've released.
Without further ado,
From Penyo Pal, we forked and modified two different game frameworks: Moai for the original version of the game & currently for Private Eye and Dance Party, then Ejecta for the current version of the main app.
- Ejecta (fork): Now lagging behind the main repo by quite a bit, but we've added a number of helpers that we needed for our purposes.
- moai has two different branches we used on the previous versions of Penyo Pal, both of which are very far behind
- Blackberry PlayBook support (which is just barely functional)
- Sphinx Voice recording (works on iOS, stopped development just beforing getting Android working)
From Lean Pixel, where most of our work has been Clojure-based.
- inliner: A clojure library for inlining CSS in HTML emails.
- lein-lesscss (fork): A fork of the leiningen lesscss plugin to update the version of the LESS compiler & to let it run continuously in "auto" mode
- www_fdw (fork): A fork of the Postgres www foreign data wrapper to fix some bugs we found using it
- metaslurp: A clojure library to get information about a given URL, primarily using Open Graph, but falling back to heuristics if unavailable
Hopefully we'll be able to open-source some of the big, cool things we've been working on soon…
Since before school ended, I've been working at this awesome startup. This is pretty much my dream job, getting to write code to do cool stuff all day.
Maybe less money than I'd be getting at Google or IBM, but there is something extraordinarily rewarding about the weight of responsibility being one of a tiny team gives you & knowing that one's actions will have a big impact.
(and as one little shameless plug, if you're interesting in learning Mandarin, you should definitely take a look at PenyoPal!

vidir allows editing of the contents of a directory in a text editor.
A slightly eccentric way to remove or rename files, admittedly, but I quite like it.
This is super-useful. Back when I used Emacs, I'd use `dired-mode`'s ability to edit directories when I need to do some fancy renaming stuff, but now that I'm using Vim, this is a life-saver.
