Will my students stop coming to class if I record my lectures?
ATS recently conducted a survey with over 50 respondents. 74% of students said they would not stop coming to class' that they view podcasted lectures as supplements to coming to class, reporting that they sometimes miss things that are said especially when taking notes. You may be unsurprised to hear that 97% of students surveyed would like their professors to podcast. It is also worth mentioning here that lecture podcasts are only the tip of the iceberg. Interviews with external experts or industry, supplementary lectures and information are all additional uses of podcasting.
Why do I want to podcast?
As mentioned above, 97% of students surveyed already have expressed a strong desire for their professors to podcast, reporting that 'this would help me learn'. Lectures are certainly not the only use of podcasting. There are dozens of other uses such as interviews with external experts or industry, supplementary discussions and information on troublesome concepts, language listening and speaking practice and much more. Additionally, professors need say something once and direct students to it rather than repeating the same explanation many times over. With iTunes U, professors can direct students to their own podcasts, but also to the millions of free podcasts on their subjects available in now.
How do I get started?
- Choose what you want to record
- Choose a recording option
- Record it (edit it if needed)
- Choose a publishing option
- Publish it
- Tell students where to find it
What types of files are acceptable for podcasting?
Mp3 format for audio files
Mp4 for video files
PDF for text files
How can I get help with video podcasts?
Contact Instructional Media Services (IMS) for assistance with video production and editing.
Should I keep a copy of my own files after I upload them?
Absolutely. The chances of something happening to the podcasting server or to iTunes U are slim, but it is always good practice to keep a back-up of your podcast files.
Can I podcast Copyrighted materials?
It depends. You must first get permission for the original creator first and keep a record of this permission. Permissions vary rom publisher to publisher. Visit the Quick Links section of this site for more details.
What is iTunes? What is iTunes U?
iTunes is a free application from Apple that can be used with Mac or PC. It plays all your digital music and video on your computer. It can sync content to your iPod, or iPhone. It is not a web site, but can access the web. It is a software application (among others known as podcatchers) that can automatically identify and download new files associated with the podcasts and/or play and manage directly downloaded video, audio or pdf files.
Within iTunes is the iTunes Store, accessed via the web, where users can listen to/watch samples of music, videos, movies and purchase them. There are also many free podcasts users can subscribe to. Within the iTunes Store, is iTunes University where many of the worlds major educational institutions have there content. While many of the files in the iTunes Store are for purchase, the files in iTunes U are free.
For more information: visit About Apple iTunes | Watch a Video Overview | Download iTunes
What's the difference between using the USD Podcasting Server and USD iTunes U?
Both are places to house your recordings, but iTunes U allows you to house, organize and play podcasts and files. The USD Podcasting Server simply houses them. However, with the server option, you can link your casts to CE and other web sites easily. As well, professors have instant access (once the open an account) to uploading and linking with the server. For more details see the Publish section of this site.
What's the difference between Public and Private in iTunes U?
Public access means that anyone in the world with an Internet connection and Apple iTunes can see the materials. Private means you must be USD faculty, staff or students to see it. Materials can be designated as 'Private' during upload, requiring a USD log-in to view them.
How do USD faculty, staff and students log-in to see USD only materials?
To see the private-to-USD-only content, you must log in to iTunes U through a web interface using your USD user name and password. After you log-in, iTunes should open automatically, provided you have it installed on your computer. [Download iTunes Here]
How do faculty get space on iTunes U?
You can request this through your department Content Approver. See the iTunes U publishing option for details.
Will my students need to pay for podcasts on iTunes U?
No. Everything appearing in USD iTunes U is free to access.
What's the difference between Get Tracks and Subscribe?
In iTunes U, users are given an option to Get Tracks or to Subscribe. When users click Get Tracks, they download only the tracks currently listed in the album. If anything new is added to the album later, they must manually download it. If the user had clicked Subscribe, the current list of tracks is downloaded and anything new that is added later will automatically be downloaded. This is what distinguishes a 'podcast' from a simple downloadable file.
Can devices other than an iPod/iPhone be used with iTunes U?
Not at this time, although it is rumored that other devices will be useable soon. The UK's Daily Telegraph has reported that it was announced at Mac World 2009 that this will be changing soon. (read the article) To work around this, files in iTunes can be burned to a cd and then placed on other devices or converted to mp3 (as opposed to Apple's own AAC). A Google search will render the instructions you'll need.

Dogs In Strollers? Tori Spelling Practices On Her Pooch
We've seen Tori switch up her maternity style from hippy to vampy, but now she's testing out baby-like accessories — this time, taking her dog out for a spin in a stroller! While out walking with husband Dean McDermott and two other pooches (who walked on the ground), Tori pushed her pug Mimi La Rue in a mesh-sided stroller. Is the pug too pooped to trot or is Tori feeling out what being a mommy is like? Guess she'll find out soon enough when her baby boy arrives in the new year.

As Seen on TV: The 10 Most Laughably Misleading Ads
So you're an inventor, and you've just created a product that actually sucks quite a bit more than the ones people are already using. How do you sell it?
Why, by creating a cornball TV ad that portrays everyday tasks as being next to impossible without your product. As we'll see, the results range from ridiculous to downright sad.
#10. MagneScribe Pen
What they're selling:
The MagneScribe is a magnetic pen which attaches to a pendant that's a combination digital clock and mirror that rocks a fly, Flava Flav look when not writing. It simultaneously maintains a perpetual state of writing-readiness and the ability to confirm whether someone is a vampire.
The hyperbole:
First, there is the sequence where someone is shown trying to unsuccessfully impale the cap of a normal pen, which suggests not only a lack of familiarity with pens, but also the visual-spatial reasoning ability of a pot-smoking chimp.
Then, when the lost pen lady finally responds to the "Call Now" command, she's placing her order and taking notes with ... a MagneScribe pen?
What the hell? We couldn't sleep for three days after we saw that. We kept picturing ourselves saying, "Man, I sure could use a MagneScribe about now," and then suddenly feeling a strange weight on our chest, the dangling pen was already laying gently against our belly. Oh, don't bother ordering the MagneScribe. It will find you.
Throughout the ad, we have the girl flailing around under a piece of furniture for her fallen pen, displaying both the poor vision and limited arm span of a T-Rex. Of course, the MagneScribe pen can't fall out of your hand; if you drop it the pen will come flying back through the air and re-attach itself to the magical pendant.
The reality:
They were selling this thing for $30. You know how many regular pens you can buy for thirty bucks? Three hundred.
You could keep a barrel of the things next to the sofa and every time you drop one, fuck it,grab a new one. But hell, even if the thing was free, having constant access to a pen in the off chance that we might need one isn't worth looking like a tool 100 percent of the time. It is a specific application of the more general 'fanny-pack' principle.
#9. My Lil' Reminder
What they're selling:
A digital recorder, which is like an MP3 player except it records instead of playing back and can only hold one 30-second track so you can leave yourself reminders in audio form. "Shit, where did I put my digital recorder? Fuck!"
The hyperbole:
The scene opens with a senile grandma wandering around a parking lot. Weighing her options, which are searching for her car using a systematic procedure or talking to herself out loud before grabbing her head in frustration, she chooses the latter.
Sadly, if you're constantly forgetting things, lack the problem-solving skills to compensate, and cannot manage enough insight into your own uselessness to carry around a pen and paper with you at all times, then you may have advanced Alzheimer's Disease. You have no business wandering around a parking lot unescorted, let alone getting behind the wheel of a car or operating a digital recording device.
The reality:
We must admit, though, that the bit with the guy using it for storing driving directions was pretty convincing. If we ever sense that our ambient levels of smiling doucheness are running low, we'll be sure to place an order.
Of course, that's assuming the thing works properly. According to people who actually used the product:
"... you have to practically stick the thing inside your ear to hear it."
"On Friday I told my wife that she urgently had to get her medication from the pharmacy ... She recorded the message on her recorder (I saw her do it) ... she couldn't play back what was on the recorder. It was too late to go to any pharmacy ... My wife didn't get her medication. The funeral was Monday."
#8. Handy Peel
What they're selling:
A pair of rubberish gloves with tiny sharp claws on the palms for peeling stuff and/or pretending to be a mutant around the kids.
The hyperbole:
Knife chick, here, is not an enthusiastic food preparer. We know this because her scenes are in black and white, and because she would seemingly rather look anywhere but at the knife she is wielding and the 1-inch-thick slices of potato she is lopping off. When the inevitable happens (she cuts herself), she is exasperated with the whole concept of this 2-million-year-old technology.
It's hard to say which is the saddest exaggeration here. Is it where they weigh up all of the money you'll save by not throwing away that extra bit of potato clinging to the skin, which would probably add up to around $4 worth over the course of a lifetime?
Or, is it 30 seconds later when they boast "No Messy Clean Up" over a shot of a potato-encrusted glove held under a stream of water that makes absolutely no progress toward removing the clumps of skin from the orange bristles?
The reality:
It's always shown peeling a vegetable that's clearly been pre-peeled, and that arouses our suspicion. The carrot scene left us aroused in a different way.
#7. Listen Up
What they're selling:
Listen Up, a hearing aid for people who can't admit they need a hearing aid, has the added bonus of endowing users with super-hearing so that they can eavesdrop and generally hear things they aren't supposed to.
Hey, that's the My Lil' Reminder chick. The poor dear must have tried playing back her audio recordings only to discover that she was going deaf, too.
The hyperbole:
It starts with the old guy listening to the TV and then his radio too loud, then getting totally owned by his harpy of a wife. He takes it surprisingly well (his grin is slightly maniacal), perhaps because he couldn't hear what she was saying.
Then the whole thing strays into the reprehensible, when it boasts that you can eavesdrop on people's private conversations from "Up to 100 feet away."
Then there's a shot of an elderly couple using it in church. We found it weird that they would market their product to both eavesdroppers and church-goers in the same ad. But then isn't God the biggest spy there is?
The reality:
The false advertising is blatant. For example, the guy at the football game can apparently hear the quarterback call plays in the huddle from the stands. Unless the Listen Up is capable of some fancy Fourier analysis for isolating specific sounds, and you can be sure that it is not, then he would bleed from the ears due to amplified crowd noise before ever hearing a single call. The only reason his ears aren't bleeding is because, as the customer reviews can tell you, the piece of crap doesn't work:
"I feel like murdering all the guys who acted in the advertisement."
#6. Easy Toothbrush
What they're selling:
Easy Toothbrush, an ordinary toothbrush with bristles organized so as to form a rounded surface, making it similar to several dozen toothbrushes you can buy at the grocery store.
The hyperbole:
Imagine if you will that you are a woman with dyed blonde hair and you have advanced gum disease due mostly to the fact that you have never seen, let alone used, a toothbrush. You now have some insight into "brush-chick," the star of this commercial.
The highlight comes about 7 seconds in, when brush-chick recoils in pain from incidental bristle contact, as if she were brushing with a steak knife. The point is hammered in several times as the voice-over repeats the word "hurt."
It gets better at about 9 seconds in, when brush-chick uses subtle non-verbal cues to communicate to her audience which toothbrush she prefers. The "conventional" toothbrush receives a look that is pregnant with contempt and scrotum-ablating scorn. In contrast, the "easy toothbrush" receives an appreciative head nod.
Interestingly, their entire concept is that because your mouth is round, your toothbrush should be round (as explained helpfully by the yellow geometric shapes above). By this logic, the Handy Peel up there should be shaped like a potato.
The reality:

My Ubuntu cloud server has left only 900MB of disk space.
I'll just empty the directory /tmp and wondering if there is any other location to clean up.
My Ubuntu cloud server has left only 900MB of disk space.
I'll just empty the directory /tmp and wondering if there is any other location to clean up.
That can clean out a lot of guff (old kernels, etc) that have been replaced. You can do a similar thing in Synaptic (load it up and select the status button and then the Auto-removeable option).
To delete downloaded packages (.deb) already installed (and no longer needed)
To remove all stored archives in your cache for packages that can not be downloaded anymore (thus packages that are no longer in the repository or that have a newer version in the repository).
To remove unnecessary packages (After uninstalling an app there could be packages you don't need anymore)
To delete old kernel versions
If you don't know which kernel version to remove

I just freed up almost 2 gigs by removing old kernels and header files:
to check your current version, then
to see all the old kernels and header files, then
Make sure you don't kill remove current kernel of course! And maybe keep one or two old version, just in case... but not 10 or 20!
If you use UFW, check the log folder. On one of my machines, UFW was generating 8Gb of logs in a couple of days.
You could also empty the apt cache with:
Try using BleachBit (located at sourceforge). It is a great program. the basic idea is that it quickly frees up disk space and removes a lot of the junk that is hidden in the system. There are about 70 applications that it can recognize and wipe clean. There is also the ability to use it to "wipe" the free disk space. I think of it as CCleaner from windows only for linux.
Do not forget to Empty Trash.
Or from command line:
I really recommend you the program BleachBit, which cleans everything on Ubuntu.
Install it using the following command:
Remove all old kernel versions automatically
Remember to check which kernel you are using type:
Then as root:
read that thread to be safe not to remove needed kernels with this command!
Check for large numbers of log files too:
Or as rubo77 points out in commends, you could use the NCurses disk usage tool:
The '/tmp' directory should never be cleaned up manually unless absolutely necessary (ie: a closed application didn't clean-up after itself).
You can search where space might be filling up using the 'du' command; usually places of interest are inside '/var'. To name two usual suspects '/var/log' and '/var/cache'. Though I've had some users who install a backup utility and never realise that it creates GBs of incremental backups in '/var/backup' that build up over a week or month to fill the entire disk space.
Uninstall large packages that you don't use
Some packages can be quite large. A convenient way of finding these is to use
There are a few options:
First, there is a tool for listing all big folders and files. Just type 'Baobab' into the launcher. By removing folders and files you don't need you get more space.
Then, there is a program for removing double files. The program is called
in a Terminal.
or graphically
You can also clear the package cache with
The fourth step is to remove old Kernel entries. You can do this by installing and opening Synaptic. In Synaptic, search for the old Kernel entries (every Kernel entry that is displayed in GRUB except the newest) and remove it.
One good step is to remove the application cache. Do this by installing and running
or graphically
Important: Deleted cache cannot be restored!
The last step is to defragment the file system. Do the following for this:
With these commands, you download and compile e2fsprogs. (If you or the community has got a better way to install the program, please edit!)
Also make sure that
Now you can run the program with:
Replace /dev/sda1 with the file system or folder/file you want. Note that for defragmenting a device (such as HDD) you need root privilegs, but not for your own files.

The street leading to the Taylor County Animal Shelter was filled with signs and those hopeful their voice would be heard.
Judge Executive Eddie Rogers recently announced the shelter will change to a holding center. That means it would no longer be open to the public for adoptions.
It's a change not sitting well with residents.
"Unbelievable. Just absolutely unbelievable. Our tax dollars built that shelter," says Pat Abell.
"I paid taxes for 40 plus years and I think my money is funding this shelter. I think we should have had a say before they closed it," says Sharon Spurling.
While many were street side with their support others took action by adopting man's best friend. Animal groups made their way in to save as many pets as they could.
"Well out of love and compassion for animals in this state this place is really in bad shape. We are pulling this dog because it's future is not good right now," says Rick Murphy from the Bowling Green - Warren County Humane Society.
Allegations have been made against the Taylor County Shelter for not properly caring for animals. Those at Tuesday's rally say they aren't there to get employees in trouble. Instead, they want the county to step up to bring in others who can give the shelter what it needs.
"Do they need help? And then give them help. If they need volunteers to come in, if they need materials. What do they need?," says Rally Spokesperson Harry Reif
"We want our animals treated with respect and dignity and we try to find homes for as many as possible," says Pat Abell.
What concerns most residents is the what may happen when they lose a pet. They say they will have to go to greater lengths to find a pet since there would be no local shelter. Many pets could be moved to shelters in Lexington and Louisville.

Obstacles Arise for Euro-Zone Bank Plan
BRUSSELS—A centerpiece plan in Europe's bid to ease its financial crisis, widely credited with calming markets when it was unveiled last year, is under pressure as euro-zone officials spar over how to implement it.
As senior euro-zone finance-ministry officials met this week in Brussels, technical complications and second thoughts from some governments threatened to undermine commitments from euro-zone leaders to take pressure off indebted governments by allowing their bailout fund to directly capitalize banks in these countries.
However, direct injections into weak banks would deplete the euro-zone bailout fund's lending capacity much faster than would extending loans to governments, the fund's usual role, the head of the bloc's bailout fund said in meetings this week, according to two euro-zone officials.
At the same time, some governments are seeking ways to limit the fund's risks. Rich countries, including Germany, are insisting that governments should remain responsible for at least some of the direct aid to their banks so that they cover any initial losses made by the investments.
That marks a departure from a commitment by euro-zone leaders, who in June vowed to cut the "vicious circle" linking a government's finances to the health of its banks. Expensive bank rescues had already pushed Ireland into a full-blown bailout and risked doing the same to much-larger Spain.
Leaders said they would set up new euro-zone wide surveillance of banks, in which the European Central Bank, equipped with new powers, would spot lenders' weaknesses earlier. Once that was in place, the bloc's bailout fund, the European Stability Mechanism, would be able to directly recapitalize failing banks.
That would mean financially troubled governments wouldn't have to bankrupt themselves by borrowing billions of euros on behalf of their banks; instead, the ESM would become a direct shareholder in rescued institutions, spreading the risks to all euro members.
But since June, some of the euro zone's richest members, including Germany, as well as the Netherlands and Finland, have gotten cold feet about taking on responsibility for their weaker neighbors' banks—especially for so-called legacy assets, or potentially problematic loans stemming from before the ECB takes over bank supervision next year.
"We don't like the idea that we changed the rules of the game in the middle of the game," Finnish Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen said Wednesday, adding that he was "not that enthusiastic" about allowing direct recapitalizations for banks still struggling with legacy assets.
How to deal with those assets, which include mortgages or other loans, was at the center of discussions in Brussels. The finance-ministry officials sought to set out some of the key parameters for bank rescues as the currency union transitions to the new supervisory system.
There was near-consensus that national governments would remain responsible for ensuring that banks have enough capital to fulfill new international requirements—a Core Tier 1 ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%—according to two officials. If necessary, that capital level would be achieved by forcing losses on private investors.
"Investors and the owners of the banks must be in the first row of responsibility for banking trouble," said Finland's Mr. Katainen. "This should be a normal rule, and only in rare exceptional cases should public money be used."
But it would fall to government to raise the remaining money, these officials said. One official said keeping national governments responsible for the 4.5% capital ratio was necessary to persuade parliaments in rich countries to support direct recapitalizations.
Disagreement remains over how to deal with capital needs that go beyond those minimum requirements. A group of countries mostly from Europe's south want the ESM to take over at that point, the officials said. That is opposed by the richer northern states, which want the banks' home government to keep at least some responsibility.
Finance-ministry officials are now discussing whether the home government should retain a stake in additional recapitalizations. Such national stakes could absorb the first round of losses on capital investments and protect the ESM and other euro countries. Discussions on this are still in the early stages, with proposals for national governments to put up from 5% to 30% of the additional needs, the officials said.
Weaker states oppose a high level of national involvement, warning that "if there is such engagement, we would never cut the link between banks and the sovereigns," one of the officials said.
A further wrinkle in the rescue plan was revealed in new research from ESM staff that the fund's managing director, Klaus Regling, presented to finance-ministry officials. Mr. Regling said that because direct investments in banks are riskier than the traditional loans to governments, they could deplete the ESM's €500 billion ($665 billion) lending capacity faster.
With little or no national loss absorption, a €60 billion direct bank recapitalization by the fund would use up the same as €180 billion in loans to a government, said one official, citing an example given in the meeting. However, if the government retains some responsibility, that could take that amount down to €90 billion, the official said.
Another option presented by Mr. Regling was to create a subsidiary for the ESM that would take responsibility for direct bank recapitalizations. But that would require additional financial commitments from euro-zone states and was therefore opposed by many governments, the official said.
An ESM spokesman declined to comment on the discussions.
Finance ministers are expected to further discuss direct bank recapitalizations at their meeting on Jan. 21, the two officials said. Leaders have promised to have the mechanics of such bank rescues worked out by the end of June, although they are unlikely to become operational before March 2014, when the ECB will take over banking supervision.
Jürgen Michels, euro-zone economist at Citi Investment Research, warned that the system sketched out by euro-zone officials, which already falls short of the June deal, may still be difficult to get through the German parliament ahead of general elections in September.
"It looks, given the discussions that we have [in the Bundestag], still too generous," he said.

American culture places a premium on being physically attractive and having the "perfect" body. This has led to almost a societal obsession with losing weight, being thin, and dieting. Concerns about being overweight begin as early as preschool age, and the drive for thinness intensifies with age. The results can have both physical and psychological repercussions, including potentially serious disordered eating.
Disordered eating is an unhealthy preoccupation with food and one's body. It is "emotional" eating and includes compulsive-obsessive eating, anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and most commonly, dieting and restrictive eating. There has been an increased incidence of eating problems during the past two decades. During the middle years, children ages ten to twelve are at greatest risk. More girls and women seem to be affected by eating disorders than males.
In some families, adults use a variety of activities to help them cope with their feelings. They may smoke, use alcohol, work feverishly, exercise intensively, or choose other ways to help them feel better. Many use food and thus become emotional eaters. Most children have ready access to food and so learn to "stuff" their feelings. Whether it is done when they are feeling very high or very low emotionally, it is easy to use food to cope with emotions.
Anorexia nervosa is characterized by self-induced starvation, a troubling degree of weight loss, and a seriously distorted body image fueled by an intense fear of being fat. Anorexia is more common in girls than in boys, but can occur in either sex. The child's body image is so unrealistic and distorted that she complains of looking fat, even when it is obvious to others that she is severely underweight and conspicuously gaunt. Generally, children with anorexia nervosa consume only a few hundred calories each day, while they may engage in rituals of sneaking and hiding food or getting rid of it. They may abuse laxatives and diuretics (drugs that increase urination). They are also preoccupied with exercise to burn off as many calories as possible, by jogging for miles, doing aerobic dancing several times a day, or running up and down stairs constantly in the pursuit of thinness. Girls with anorexia nervosa who have begun menstruating may miss their periods, or stop having periods completely, and pre-adolescent girls who have anorexia nervosa may experience a delay in the onset of menstruation. Anorexia nervosa is relatively rare during the middle years, ages five to twelve.
Bulimia is a different condition but is characterized by some of the same activities. It is often referred to as the binge/ purge syndrome. A binge is a period of voracious eating, with an urgency and a need to stuff food, while at the same time having a fear of not being able to stop. Typically the foods that are chosen are high-calorie junk foods, but bingeing can occur with any type of food. Binge eating is out-of-control emotional eating. At times the amount of food eaten is not necessarily excessive; for example, if a girl has been dieting and restricting food intake and then begins to eat, she may binge and feel very out of control, regardless of the actual amount of food she consumes.
Following a binge, purging is common. Girls try to rid their bodies of food, either by self-induced vomiting (sticking a finger or an object like a toothbrush down the throat) or abusing laxatives or diuretics. They may engage in abusive exercise, diet pills, fasting, or dieting, all in an attempt to lose weight. Most girls with bulimia feel quite ashamed of their bingeing and purging, and they become highly skilled at keeping it a secret from friends and family. The strong emotional compulsion to maintain the binge/purge cycle, as well as their success at disguising their problem, makes bulimia difficult to detect and treat. Full-fledged bulimia is also relatively uncommon during the middle years. However, particularly as they enter puberty, children are more commonly engaging in purging without bingeing.
Dieting and restrictive eating are characterized by a disturbing preoccupation with the need to lose weight. These children weigh themselves frequently, engage in fad diets, and are unreasonably restrictive about food intake. This behavior pattern is unrelated to whether the child is over, under, or at a healthy body weight. Being on a diet is the common theme for everyone suffering from disordered eating and can lead to serious problems.
The restrictive-eating child may initially appear only to be a picky eater, cutting out certain foods—maybe refusing to eat any bread—or perhaps becoming a vegetarian. Since these children still have normal appetites, their eating behavior is a way of exerting control in one area of their lives. Because eating is often an important issue in their families, these children find it easy to use their diets to manipulate their parents. Frequently, their disordered eating leads to emotional struggles with their parents. Unfortunately, because of the societal pressure to be thin, parents and other adults sometimes succumb to the controlling eating behavior of their children.

9 Mind-Blowing Pieces of Art Made With Ridiculous Materials
Let's face it -- we've all tried to build a house of cards or make a sand castle at some point in our lives, but most of us get bored within a few minutes and give up. For others it may take an hour, or maybe even a few days... and there are those who devote their lives to making hugely pointless yet amazing things out of small, ridiculous materials.
Such as ...
#9. A Fully Livable LEGO House
It's no surprise that people can build some amazing things out of Legos. We're pretty sure all those replicas of important buildings they have in their theme parks will come in pretty handy when evolution inevitably turns us all into smurfs.
Via Whitespace
A re-enactment of Roosevelt's inauguration, in which he claimed he was "knee-deep in bitches."
However, some individuals have taken their obsession with tiny plastic bricks even further ... and some even manage to make a living off of it. For instance, Nathan Sawaya is a world-renowned Lego sculptor who not only sells his statues for thousands of dollars, but also exhibits them in museums around the globe. For the right price, he can make a life size Lego sculpture of anything -- including you.
Via Brickartist.com
If you looked like an 80s computer game character.
But perhaps the greatest feat of Lego architecture of all time was the one thought up by British television presenter James May. May enlisted the help of architects, interior designers and hundreds of people with way too much free time to build a two story house made out of 6 MILLION Lego bricks ...
Via Nowpublic.com
"Wine is on the table," he called out to them. Their crotches burned with Lego anticipation.
Via Metro News
"Let me slip into something more comfortable," he said, returning in a Lego thong.
... and then proceeded to live in it for 24 hours. But wait -- how did he take care of, uhh, certain basic necessities in a house made entirely out of Lego? Easy: thanks to the running water connected to his Lego sink and Lego toilet.
Via Gnews
Also, the fact that he doesn't mind pooping on toys.
Despite the fact that an art expert valued the house at $750,000, no one was willing to buy such an exquisite piece of live-in artwork, for some reason. It has since been dismantled and presumably, those 6 million Lego pieces have been returned to the children they were originally intended for.
Via Wikimedia Commons
So be on the lookout for Lego pieces that smell like ass.
#8. Toothpick Cities
Let's face it, toothpicks are a technology that became useless the moment dental floss was invented. Nobody knows why we continue manufacturing them; their only purpose right now is to aid people who don't want to touch canapes with their hands and don't know how to use a napkin. Stan Munro, however, figured out a much more productive use for them:
Via Toothpick City
Pictured: The main reason the toothpick industry remains afloat.
Stan's obsession with toothpicks goes way back to grade school, when his science teacher asked the class to build a toothpick structure that could hold an egg. While most of the class tried to figure out what was wrong with the teacher, Stan built one that held a desk. It was at that moment, presumably, that the boy decided he wanted to grow up into a man who builds big things out of small wooden picks.
Via Toothpick City
And then lurks behind them, apparently.
But Stan doesn't just create buildings: He makes entire cities. Plural. His first project, the aptly named Toothpick City, took him two years to complete. The sequel, Toothpick City II, consists of 40 buildings constructed with 4 million toothpicks and 45 gallons of glue. The structures take him anywhere from a day to six months.
Via Supiri.com
"So, uh, where've you been for the past half year, Stan?"
"Expanding my toothpick kingdom."
All buildings are on a 1/64 scale and contain impressive amounts of detail, thanks to the technical drawings and satellite photos that Stan consults before starting. The most impressive part, however, is that he has managed to convince his wife that there's nothing crazy about making toothpick building his full-time job. It totally paid off, though: Toothpick City I is now on permanent display in a museum in Mallorca, Spain.
#7. Toast "Paintings"
You've probably burned a lot of toast in your life, since dependable toaster technology has not advanced one iota since the device was invented. Depending on how much bread you had left, how hungry you were or how little time you had, your response was probably somewhere between "Oh, that sucks" and Samuel L. Jackson's monologue from Snakes on a Plane (only with toasts and toasters instead of snakes and planes). We're gonna go ahead and guess that you never pulled out the burnt piece of toast and framed it on a wall, though -- and that's where you've been going wrong in life, it seems. Yes, people pay real money to look at toast art:
Via Maurice Bennett
This must have been a remarkably inept toaster.
Yep, that's toasted bread right there. Of course, Maurice Bennett, the internationally renowned toast artist, doesn't actually use a toaster to make his masterpieces; that would be silly.
He uses a blowtorch.
Maurice lives in New Zealand and gets a lot of his inspiration from Maori tribal designs, among other important parts of traditional New Zealand culture:
Via Maurice Bennett
The follow-up to "Smiling Peter Jackson" will be "Raging Russell Crowe."
But wait, those are like, small mini-toasts or something, right? Otherwise, his portraits would be freaking hu ...
Via Maurice Bennett
... Oh.
OK, that's a lot of toast. "The Toastman" credits his first career as a supermarket owner with honing his understanding of things like display, color and food. And what more logical career progression could there be than going from stacking cans to recreating famous works of art with thousands of pieces of burnt bread?
Via Maurice Bennett
He added an ice cream to the Mona Lisa because the fact that it was made of toast wasn't weird enough.
Of course, toast isn't the only breakfast food on display in museums.
#6. Creepy Cereal Art
Ryan Alexiev (born to Bulgarian immigrants, raised in Alaska and educated at UC Berkley, which is pretty much the definition of "confused hippie") finds his inspiration in children's cereal. Using the most colorful and sugary pieces he can find, he creates light hearted, whimsical portraits like -- no, wait, he makes shit like this:
Via Artbusiness.com
Is it just us, or do you just want to fill that glass case up with milk?
That's a cereal replica of Damien Hirst's famous diamond coated skull "For the Love of God." If it looks disturbingly accurate, that's because Alexiev made it using a real skull he "purchased on eBay."
Finally, someone uncovers the untapped artistic potential in cereal and uses it to tackle things like religious iconography:
Via Artbusiness.com
Via Artbusiness.com
... and of course, Osama bin Laden, in this piece called O's-ama:
Via Ryan Alexiev
Nothing like Froot Loops to capture the fun side of a genocidal maniac's personality.
Of course, this isn't just for fun -- there's a deeper meaning behind every work. Like for instance, Alexiev explains that by making saints made of cereal he's really "[exploring] how contemporary product marketing functions through appeals to our sense of -- and desire for -- the transcendental. In the Land of Milk and Cereal, we are what we eat."
Via Ryan Alexiev
The fact that he looks like Cap'n Crunch's estranged son explains so much.
#5. Full-Size Matchstick Heads
When we say "matchstick heads," we don't mean the upper part of the matchstick -- we mean something a little more literal:
Via Denoirmont.com
And a lot more insane.
David Mach is a Scottish artist who makes sculptures out of stuff like coat hangers, car tires and old newspapers. Also matchsticks. Thousands and thousands of little matchsticks. Mach uses around 30,000 matches in each of his limited-edition sculptures, and then sells them for about the same amount of money.
Via Denoirmont.com
For that much money we could get you a real head on a stick. There are ways.
Each sculpture takes him months to complete, since he has to painstakingly glue each one of the matches to a fiberglass or plastic structure he creates beforehand. Mach doesn't paint the sticks himself, though -- that would be crazy. Instead he has them shipped from Japan, the only place insane enough to produce matches of every color, apparently. His sculptures include representations of famous people ...
Via Denoirmont.com
... deities ...
Via Denoirmont.com
... and mostly angry animals.
Via Telegraph
Via Denoirmont.com
These are pretty impressive and all, but we can't shake the feeling that they would look infinitely cooler if someone were to "accidentally" spark a lighter near them. Fortunately, Mach agrees. He often closes his presentations by setting a head on fire.
Via Denoirmont.com
And then laughing maniacally while staring into the sweet, cleansing flames.

Is it useful to learn CVS before learning SVN? Does much of that knowledge carry over to SVN or are they too different?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Both CVS and SVN are centralized version control systems. Having existing knowledge of workflows and using one will help you use the other, but learning CVS first simply to use SVN wouldn't add any value. If you are interested in a centralized version control system or your team is using SVN, just jump right into SVN. Documentation and tutorials abound on the Internet.
No. Learning CVS is not useful and it will rot your brain and teach you bad habits. Recall that CVS is basically a wrapper for RCS which is about as poor as SCCS. SVN replaces all the functionality of CVS and removes the limitations.
It's kind of like asking if you should learn Visual Basic before learning Javascript. Yuck, why would anyone bother.
The better bet is to learn SVN and also learn one other system which is decentralized such as mercurial or git.

This is probably the cutest Indian face that I have drawn thus far. This is such an awesome depiction of an Indian girl from Native American culture. Everything about her stands out from the braided pigtails, to the headband and eyes. I love the background because it goes so well with all the colors in her style. I know you will all have fun drawing an Indian for kids. I will be back with some more lessons that I think you will enjoy. Peace out people and enjoy!

Blackberry Back Button in Phonegap no longer working when Sencha added
I've created a Sencha Touch App and I am using this with Phonegap to generate a Blackberry App.
I want to make use of the hardware back button, which is possible via BB Webworks and works, but only as long as I don't add Sencha Touch. It works fine when not using Sencha Touch, but the event seems not to be caught when Sencha Touch js-files are added.
<script type="text/javascript"> blackberry.system.event.onHardwareKey(blackberry.system.event.KEY_BACK, function() { alert("back"); //history.back(); return true; }); </script>

6 Feb 2012 8:44 AM #3
I can't see any reason too, but it's just like that.
I've tested:
A clean app, no code of myself included (except the event listener js).
I just added only sencha-touch.js and then the eventlistener shows the defined "back"-alert.
Then I added the ST "HelloWorld" example js and as soon as "Hello World" is shown on the canvas the evenlistener is no longer catching the event, the app closes. Before Hello World is shown, the event listener still shows the alert.
I think that as soon as Ext.Application or Ext.regApplication is called, the BB back button is no longer working as expected.
6 Feb 2012 11:28 PM #4
Would it help if I send a zip of my test code somewhere?
9 Feb 2012 7:10 AM #5
So, to bump this one up.
I think it is very obvious that Sencha Touch is doing something that prevents the BB BackButton event.
This is working, I always catch the event and can display the alert.
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Back Test</title> <script src="lib/sencha-touch-debug-w-comments.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> /* new Ext.Application({ launch: function() { new Ext.Panel({ fullscreen: true, html: 'Hello World!' }); } });*/ </script> <script> function trapBackKey(){ alert("trapped"); blackberry.system.event.onHardwareKey(blackberry.system.event.KEY_BACK, function() { //window.history.back(); alert("menu"); return false; }); } trapBackKey(); </script> </head> <body> </body> </html>
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Back Test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=1.0;" /> <script src="lib/sencha-touch-debug-w-comments.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> new Ext.Application({ launch: function() { new Ext.Panel({ fullscreen: true, html: 'Hello World!' }); } }); </script> <script> function trapBackKey(){ alert("trapped"); blackberry.system.event.onHardwareKey(blackberry.system.event.KEY_BACK, function() { //window.history.back(); alert("menu"); return false; }); } trapBackKey(); </script> </head> <body> </body> </html>
Maybe someone could just give me a hint or something else?
9 Feb 2012 11:39 PM #6
So for anyone being lucky do develop for Blackberrys :
While I did get it to work without futher ado with a jQuery mobile app, I couldn't get it to work for Sencha Touch the way described in den Blackberry documents and above.
But I found a workaround for this one.
I found out that the BB BackButton is mapped in Javascript to a KeyCode of 27 (escape). So I defined a keydown listener and handled that event appropriately. But you have to prevent further propagation of the event. Otherwise the app still exits instead of going back.
Hope this helps someone else, too.
29 Jan 2013 1:22 PM #7
Turn off animations
I'm not sure why, but whenever Sencha animates a Sheet or View, the back button breaks. The solution is to turn off animations for Blackberry.
You can see how to do that (and other Blackberry tips) here:

What are the best approaches and what concerns are there about performance testing a web application that is hosted in the cloud?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Oh deja vu ...
I think that Larry Elison summed it up nicely when he stated that Cloud computing is just, servers and the internet. Video is here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOEFXaWHppE
Performance testing "Cloud" applications should be tested as though you would test any existing web application. Specifically for performance you would want to testing a single instance and then how it scales out when you apply dynamic scaling to see if you get a linear performance improvement or not.
Apart from that the same performance testing tools and approaches and skills would apply, i.e. Loadrunner et.al.
Another challenge though would be that you won't have access to the performance logs, counters or configuration options that you would normally use when performance tesitng and tuning.
I think the key to your question is "web application". So we should not be directly concerned with which cloud you use or even latency.
Performance testing can mean different things to different people. I see it as:
You need to know how the application performs in the view of users. Slow pages lower your revenue and customer satisfaction. To see the direct correlation, see these great performance testing statistics. Metrics like rendering time or response time are what your users care about. These measurements are what performance testing tools provide for you.
I would recommend you analyze the performance of individual pages first. Use a tool like YSlow, webpagetest.org, Yottaa.com, or Load.in. These will show you the many aspects of speed for one page - connection time, when the page starts to render, when the document is fully loaded, and all of the ancillary files such as images, CSS, Javascript, and XML. Run performance tests on all of your important, high-traffic pages. Make improvements such as caching, compression, shrinking images, or using a CDN. Most of these tools will provide detailed suggestions for speeding up the page.
Secondly, and just as importantly, you should load test your entire site. Create realistic test scenarios/scripts that take actions on your site like actual users. Be especially sure to interact with your application in ways that stress your database because it is the most common bottleneck. Turn on the slow query log and review it to find any expensive joins or just bad SQL. Ramp up the load test volume from a small number to a large number. This allows you to see at what load the application starts to slow down or generate errors. Look for steep curves in response times that indicate "hitting a wall" for system performance. This can point you to a configuration limitation such as running out of database connections. Good cloud load testing tools include: LoadStorm, Browsermob, and Soasta.
Performance testing for web applications should focus on the user perspective. Be sensitive to errors and outliers of average response times.
Hope that helps. Lots of good resources on the same performance-testing.org site. Blogs, downloads, tool lists, articles, and industry news.
From my perspective, dynamic scaling has to be tested in advance to ensure that everything is good. The infrastructure's support cloud provider has to be used to get apple-to-apple comparison. If you test environment is not same as production, the integrity of data poses serious questions.
I have no idea about best approaches, but I can think of a few concerns to get discussion started:
There is a company called CloudHarmony.com that benchmarks and publishes all their information online for all the different cloud providers.
They basically run performance tests all the time, so it will save you the work of testing each provider.
Your question is about testing a specific web app, in which case, the normal rules apply. The easiest, try out a tool like PageSpeed to give you feedback on the website.

I will be traveling to Cairns, Brisbane, and Sydney and was wondering what are the must try foods/dishes I should get while there.
I'll answer this question with respect to buying your food rather than cooking it yourself as that's what you'll probably be doing.
Breakfast Anywhere in Sydney you will have no trouble finding a cafe serving a "big breakfast" (bacon, eggs, fried mushrooms & tomato). If you're perparing something yourself try Australian owned/made Weet-Bix with milk or Vegemite on toast. You'll want a tiny scrape of Vegemite only; it's not jam or peanut butter.
Lunch The best lunch for travellers comes from local Fish and Chip shops, also known as Take Away Shops. We take our food away rather than "out" as in the USA. While all independantly run, they are eerily similar. Go for the Works Burger (beef pattie, beetroot, pineapple, onion, lettuce, tomato, cheese, BBQ sauce, egg, bacon) and chips.
Treats Lamingtons and ANZAC biscuits are recommended. I would scour a supermarket for snacks you do not find at home to eat on the road. In Cairns look for mangos and pineapples.
Dinner Two Australian options here are The Pub and the The Club. Either way a typical dinner would be a big t-bone steak, surf and turf (aka reef and beef), Roast of the Day or a chicken parmigiana (aka parama, schnitty). Often these are available as a deal in conjunction with a local beer. Clubs may be Returned Services League (RSL), Bowling Clubs, Surf Clubs, etc. You might have to join the club for entry which often comes with a free beer while actually costing less than a beer.
In Cairns if you are looking for something more upmarket try for the local seafood. In Sydney; how about Sydney Rock Oysters as an entree.
Late Night On the way home (actually very early in the morning, but feels like late at night) you should be picking up a kebab (aka. "Late Night Lamb Sandwich"). This consists of middle-eastern flat-bread wrapped around dubious cut of processed lamb with lettuce, tomato, cheese, hommus, tabbouleh and garlic sauce.
Drink In Sydney look for white wines from the Hunter Valley. The best reds come from South and Western Australia. Order beers that are on tap in a schooner glass (425 ml, 15 fl oz). VB and Tooheys New are common. There are various premium and boutique options. No-one drinks a beer branded "Fosters" although the same company makes lots of beers locals do drink.
In Queensland, the more common local beer is XXXX. Queenslanders seem to drink Pots (285 ml, 10 fl oz) rather than Schooners or Pints.
If you're visiting the Gold Coast, I have two suggestions for you.
My philosophy on food while traveling is to whenever possible eat like a local. Try a Moreton Bay Bug or the quintessential Barramundi if you're into seafood.
And obviously, whatever you do, be sure to experience a genuine Aussie BBQ, ideally near the beach.

In some (generally Japanese) games, the best rank is S. For example, this question talks about getting an S rank on story battles. Metal Gear Solid 4 ranks their weapons on an SABCDE scale.
Does S mean something special? Why is it used?
In some (generally Japanese) games, the best rank is S. For example, this question talks about getting an S rank on story battles. Metal Gear Solid 4 ranks their weapons on an SABCDE scale.
Does S mean something special? Why is it used?
S as a ranking above A originates from Japanese games. Aside from Metal Gear Solid 4, it has also been used in other games, such as Gran Turismo series (driving licenses), Devil May Cry (level performance), Final Fantasy VII (chocobo classes), Guilty Gear (character rankings), and countless others.
While the origin is universally acknowledged as Japanese, apparently, no one really knows what it actually stands for. It's been speculated that it stands for anything from Super to Special, but there's no confirmation that I can find of any sort of "official" meaning.
Giant Bomb's S-rank article states that because C was the lowest passing grade in the Japanese school system, "S" was used to allow for a wider range of grades. See the following excerpt:
The Rank Inflation article on TVTropes mentions the S-ranking as well, however, without any speculation on the origin:
Urban Dictionary's S-Rank article (linked article is SFW, but the site itself can have some very NSFW content) also lacks a concrete origin:
In addition, all 3 of these sites are editable by anyone on in the Internet, so I'm not sure that any of these can be considered concretely reliable, and the assertion on the Giant Bomb article that it's related to the Japanese grading system has no source and isn't one I can confirm because I am not familiar with the system.
Basically, as the TVTropes article stated, it's just a way for there to be a ranking that is better than the "best", similar to how some games have Platinum medals on top of Gold.
S stands for "shuu" (秀), which is Japanese for "excellent".
I comes from the usual Japanese grading. Just like how we have A+, A, B, etc. They have their own system which is the same as ours except that instead of A+ they write "S".
I am attending university in Japan and had to have this explained to me because I didn't know what the "S" grade on my grade report was.
There's not a lot of sourced information about the origins of this term, although there's a fair number of plausible explanations:
The TV Tropes term for this is "Rank Inflation:"
Having a rank above "A" also means that it can be somewhat more secret, some extra or additional goal to shoot for. Prior to the widespread adoption of achievements, offering a "S rank" was a way to reward your most devoted players.
I was going to come to the rescue with Gran Turismo, whose S License is higher than B or A (or their variants), and which actually says what S stands for right in the game! And then I looked around for an actual screenshot (well, videos), and discovered that it's not consistent even within this series:
Oh well.
According to the Japanese Wikipedia article
My translation:
Special, Secret, or Super are the most common meanings. There's no real reason for it, other than to say something akin to "This is better than good!"

sorry guys, I made a serious mistake in the calculations in focal length and detent interval. I deleted a few posts that contain incorrect data to avoid confusion.
here are corrected spreadsheets showing relationship between focal length, detent interval and % overlap.
for full frame sensor
for 1.5x cropped sensor
for 1.6x cropped sensor
look for your focal length in the spreadsheet. read horizontally to find the right detent interval with desired overlap. If no suitable detent available, look for other focal length.
Alternatively, find the detent of your choice, choose a range of % overlap, then get the range of suitable focal length.
from the spreadsheet, you can see the max focal length supported by R-D16 is about 300mm (35mm eq) with 18% overlap. the max focal length supported by R-D12 is about 150mm (35mm eq) with 18% overlap.
Please correct me if you spot out any errors.
Note: The coloured bars bracket focal lengths that can be used with a particular detent setting. 60¬?40% means the 60 degree detent interval (6 around), giving 40% overlap for that focal length.
Thanks John for making it clear.

Crock Pot Picadillo Stuffed Peppers
Leftover picadillo and brown rice makes a super easy second meal, all in the crock pot. Top it with melted cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese and you'll have a delicious dinner without much fuss. Each pepper is a complete meal-in-one.
As I mentioned in my last post, we use leftover picadillo many ways in my home. Stuffed peppers are a great way to use leftovers and nothing goes to waste here – the tops of the peppers get diced and are
added to the filling.
The slow cooker is the perfect appliance for making stuffed peppers, I've also included oven directions below.
When buying bell peppers for the slow cooker, I look for peppers that have flat bottoms that can stand upright on their own.
You can double the recipe to make 6, which would fit perfectly in a 6 qt slow cooker. And since so many are asking, I have the 6 Quart Hamilton Beach Set 'n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker. I love it because you can adjust the time you want it to cook, and it automatically turns to warm when it's done. It also has a probe for meat that automatically shuts off when done. I hated my old crock pot, it burnt everything and my food had a weird taste. This crock pot is so great, I actually own two!
BTW, we love stuffed peppers in my home and I've posted other variations:
Turkey Stuffed Peppers
Santa Fe Turkey Stuffed Peppers
Chicken and White Bean Stuffed Peppers
and there's even a stuffed pepper soup. Enjoy!

Glaser Wins Firecracker 100; Langan, Maricle, And Hand Also Victory Lane Visitors
By Ben Deatherage
(Photos Courtesy of Madman Photography)
The weather was perfect and the racing was just as good at the Cottage Grove Speedway on Independence Day for the Thursday July 4th affair. A full house was on hand in the grandstands as the DIRTcar Super Late Models, IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, and Hornets were on the evening's card.
The DIRTcar Super Late Models were put to the ultimate test as they would participate in the first ever Firecracker 100. Jimmy Whisler of Otis was the early race leader of the one-hundred lap challenge putting his esterleemotel.com/Galluci's Pizzeria/All Purpose Storage #28 Rocket to the front on the high side. As the race neared the quarter of the way complete Whisler had a quick Trevor Glaser trailing behind him.
On lap twenty-six Glaser, of Tangent, would put his Bayer Crop Science/Farmland Tractor Supply/Ground and Water #2 Trak-Star to the front after making a pass on Whisler for the lead. From there the only thing that would slow "T-Glaze" down was a fuel stop on lap fifty-five and a caution on lap seventy-five.
The decisive move to seal the victory for the six-time Willamette Speedway Late Model champion was carving his way through lapped traffic when the tail end of the field was clustered in front of him late in the race. Glaser would lead the rest of the way to win in his first visit to CGS in 2013 lapping all the way up to eighth place.
Jimmy Whisler would earn the runner-up spot followed by Tony Brakeall of Sodaville in his Sure Flow Concrete/Swing Construction/Art Plus Signs and Designs #13 Swartz in third. The top five was completed with Paul Culp of Springfield in the X-Factor Race Cars/All Pro Steel/Northwest Gallery #42 X-Factor in fourth while the Cold Springs Resorts/R.G. Remanufacturing/Driving Force Graphics #36 Rocket of Bend's Shaun Mayea was fifth.
The IMCA Modified feature would see Braedon Hand of Cottage Grove have his way with the field. Hand, driving the D&D Automotive/Vintage Inn Family Restaurant #7S Pro, took the lead early and didn't look back. Despite a handful of cautions, including two green-white-checkered restarts, the #7S would stay out in front for the rest of the way and Hand would earn his first feature win for car owner Jerry Severson from Medford.
Gus Cooper of Creswell was second in the Eastside Rollforming Specialties/Raceprint.com/BBQ Oil Barbeque Sauce #10 Pro while crossing the line behind him in third was the Serendipity Spa and Salon/West End Performance #23 Shaw of Cottage Grove's Don Muth Jr. Mark Wauge from Jacksonville was fourth in the Skinner Autoplex/Meineke Car Care Center/Hoppes Construction #1M Loose Gruff followed by the Virgil Hanson Automotive Machine/BSB Manufacturing/James Gang Pizza #33C Shaw of Albany's Craig Hanson in fifth.
T.J. Langan of Fall Creek made it back out to the Cottage Grove Speedway for the first time in two years. Piloting his familiar Taco Bell-Cottage Grove/Engine Research Development/DNL Truck Parts #85 Nova was briefly challenged, especially in the final laps, but would hold on to visit victory lane.
Daniel Ray of Springfield was second in his Pure Romance-Leslie Grimes/Brad's Car Tunes/S.D.M.F. Race Cars #01 Camaro followed by Medford's Jordan Braaten in the Don Braaten Painting/Hands On Detail/Mike Van Brunt's Home and Building Maintenance #84 Regal in third. The balance of the top five would consist of the Stacy Graves Massage Therapy/Nathan Anderson Dentistry #00 Nova of Steve Begley from Eugene in fourth while fifth went to Darin Crooks of Cottage Grove in his Nathan Anderson Dentistry/Platinum Hair of Creswell #73 Nova.
Joe Maricle of Veneta was back in the winner's circle despite being in a different car. The Ram Jack Foundation Repair #11 of Maricle earned his fourth win of the year after leading every single lap.
Finishing in the runner-up position was Dexter's Taunton Swaim in the Randy Kuhl owned Big Dog Recycling/A-1 Auto Supply #17 entry while third went to the #7C of Josh Corley out of Veneta. The Material Fabrication/Meineke Car Care #28 of Cottage Grove driver Chris Pierce was fourth followed by the Small Town Treasures/Nichol's Napa Auto Parts #89 of Jim Simmons also from Cottage Grove.
On Friday July 5th and Saturday the 6th the American Sprint Car Series-Northwest Region will be back in town to finish up the 2013 edition of Bully Dog Performance Speedweek Northwest. Vintage cars will be the support class for Friday and Saturday while the Northwest Extreme Sprints will be a support class for just Saturday. Both days will utilize regular start times and prices are Adults $17.00, Seniors/Juniors/Military $13.00, Youths $7.00, Children Five and Under FREE, and Family Passes (Two Adults and up to Four Youths) will be $40.00.

Irina Shayk: Spotted in Yves Saint Laurent
Yeah we thought it was a dress too. Images via Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images North America & Style.com
We're just going to assume that you're as perplexed by this White House Correspondents' Association Dinner as we are. So perhaps it's no surprise that Irina Shayk was there since even Lindsay Lohan was invited.
For just such an occasion, Shayk chose a white silk Yves Saint Laurent jumpsuit with a gold chain belt from the Fall 2011 collection. We think this is a pretty fab look and we love that she didn't wear a traditional gown and kept the accessories minimal.
What's up with Ms. Shayk and Mr. Ronaldo, though? Lunch time conversation at Kickette HQ is often speculative of the status of their relationship. Do you think these two are still an item? We know Shayk's been busy with her Intimissimi Perfect Bra tour and may not have a lot of time to spend in Madrid, but long distance love can only go so far. We'll dig a little deeper this week.
In the meantime, how do you feel about Shayk's White House look?
