Franklin repeats as state champion
The Franklin baseball team went back-to-back in WIAA summer baseball state championships, defeating West Bend West on Friday afternoon in Stevens Point to cap the achievement, 5-4.
The Sabers, who have qualified for state four times in the last five years, won the crown for the second time in school history. The final was a rematch of the 2010 title game, when Franklin defeated the Spartans, 11-4.
The Sabers opened the scoring with two runs in the first, scoring on Ryan Geil's RBI groundout and a two-out single by Jake Penegor, who capped the three-game tournament batting 8 for 10 with three walks. Penegor also doubled and scored in the fifth, helping the Sabers take a 5-2 lead.
Franklin starter Matt Busalacchi hit the corners all day, working six innings and allowing two runs on five hits, retiring his last eight batters. The Spartans scored on a pair of solo homers in the third and fourth, and the Sabers played errorless baseball behind him.
Busalacchi, who only had six innings to work with on the hill because of tourney pitching restrictions, gave way in the seventh to Marcus Schlemm. Franklin also had to go to a relief pitcher in the semifinal, when Marquette came alive for three runs to tie the game. This time, Schlemm allowed a two-run homer but got the final out on a grounder to Jake Penegor.
Cardiac cats: Franklin to title game
The defending summer baseball state champion Franklin Sabers will get a chance to defend their crown after defeating Marquette on Friday morning in the state semifinals, 6-5.
The extra-inning win was a repeat of the near gut-wrenching circumstances from the state quarterfinal Thursday. Marquette's Nate Siudak hit a three-run homer to tie the game at 5-5 in the seventh after Franklin had recorded two outs with nobody on base to start the inning.
The blast off Ian Malmstadt was eerily similar to what happened one day earlier, when Waukesha West rallied from three runs down in the seventh and tied the game with two outs on a two-run homer by Alex Lawrence.
Franklin won that game against West with seven runs in the eighth, and they didn't need that many this time. Jay Dirienzo led off the bottom of the eighth with a long triple, and after Marquette loaded the bases, Joel Kornhoff singled through the box to give the Sabers another crazy victory.
Jake Penegor reached base five times and went 3 for 3, and Kornhoff reached base three times. The biggest blow in regulation was Collin Bertram's grand slam in the fourth, a pinch-hit blast that put the Sabers ahead, 4-2, after the Hilltoppers struck for single tallies in the second and third.» Read Full Article
Franklin wins wild state quarterfinal
Franklin's late lead disappeared in a heartbeat, so the Sabers went to work on a new one with an explosive eighth inning, as the Sabers baseball team defeated Waukesha West in the WIAA state quarterfinals Thursday, 14-7.
Franklin (24-7) will meet fellow Greater Metro Conference entrant Marquette (22-9) this evening in the semifinals at Bukolt Park in Stevens Point. The winner of that game advances to tomorrow's championship game.
The Sabers held a 7-4 lead in the seventh, and after a successful appeal when a West runner tagged and advanced a base, Franklin still had a 7-5 lead with two outs and nobody on. But Jeff Neuman singled for West, and Alex Lawrence delivered a dramatic two-run homer to tie the game and force extra innings.
But Franklin was undeterred, with nine consecutive batters reaching base in the eighth and seven runs scoring overall. Joel Kornhoff, who had just nine hits all season, finished the day with three hits -- including a grand slam in the big frame.
That game had everything -- intereference, clutch home runs, errors, lack of pitching," said Franklin coach Jim Hughes, celebrating a birthday Thursday. "Boy we can play a lot better than that. It was not as good a defensive game as we could have had. We even had coaches forgetting how many outs there were -- that one's on me."» Read Full Article

Whitnall considers selling naming rights
The Whitnall School District will look into selling naming rights for athletic facilities to offset some of the $6.5 million cost to renovate the athletic facilities at Whitnall High School.
The Whitnall School Board on Monday approved forming a committee to explore naming rights. Board member Bernard Shaw said the committee would look to large donors who are buying naming rights for the long term. The committee also will need a dynamic leader to pull off the plan, he said.
Family seeks answers in mysterious Oak Creek biker fatality
Sam Ferrito's survivors have visited the scene of his death numerous times in the past week, always leaving with more questions than answers about the crash that killed him on July 17.
To them, it's inexplicable that a car heading in the same southbound direction on Nicholson Ave. would cross the center line and hit Ferrito, who was biking along the northbound lane intent on avoiding exactly the kind of collision that killed him.
The point of impact - based on preliminary reports - puts the southbound car well over the center line, nearly to the opposite shoulder, and the information released to the public so far provides no explanation as to why.

Go green at Chill on the Hill
The Bay View Neighborhood Association today announced Go Green Night at Chill on the Hill. Go Green Night is at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Humboldt Park band shell, 3000 South Howell Ave. The evening focuses on renewable energies, urban ecology, recycling initiatives and cleaner transportation.
"Chill on the Hill's Go Green Night will provide opportunities for attendees to learn how to live more sustainably, more than simply separating recyclables out of the trash," said Rob Miller, BVNA's Environmental Chair. "The average citizen probably doesn't know that even old athletic shoes can be recycled as well as aluminum cans or plastic bottles."
Besides collecting art supplies for Project Crayon Box and toiletries for homeless veterans, the BVNA, along with Milwaukee Recycles, will be recycling athletic shoes in spirit of the night's green initiatives.
At least 10 local organizations will set up booths and exhibits, including: Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District; Milwaukee Recycles; Holistic Mom's Network; Sweet Water Organics; Midwest Renewable Energy Association; Milwaukee Energy Efficiency; Milwaukee Shines; Victory Garden Initiative; Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin; and Prasser-Kleczka Funeral Homes

Supervisor seeks to block Franklin sewer expansion
Rather than spending millions of dollars beginning in 2015 to pay for a proposed sewer serving rural southwest Franklin, the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District should invest the funds in flood control efforts throughout the metropolitan area, Milwaukee County Supervisor John Weishan Jr. said Friday.
Weishan, of West Allis, has introduced a County Board resolution opposing both the sewer plan and Franklin's use of eminent domain to acquire land for the sewer project from any owners unwilling to sell their property. The resolution will be discussed Monday at a meeting of the County Board's Intergovernmental Relations Committee.
Franklin is seeking $31 million in low-interest Clean Water Fund loans from the state Department of Natural Resources so it can build a large regional sewer across the southwest side of the city. Mayor Tom Taylor's goal is to begin operating the sewer by 2014 so the city can attract new development, particularly commercial businesses and manufacturers, to the area.
MMSD would begin buying the sewer from Franklin in 2015, under terms of an intergovernmental cooperation agreement. The district would take ownership in 2031, after paying an estimated $41.1 million in principal and interest.
Taylor said Friday that new development is needed to reduce the property tax burden on the city's homeowners.» Read Full Article
Motorcyclist killed in Bay View crash identified
The operator of a motorcycle who was killed when the bike slammed into a car in Bay View was identified by the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office Wednesday as Reynold Allen Pamaska.
Pamaska was killed Saturday when the 2004 Suzuki GSXR he was riding slammed into a car at S. Kinnickinnic and E. Clement avenues, according to a medical examiner's report.
Police witnessed Pamaska, 29, heading south on Kinnickinnic Ave. at more than 100 mph shortly after 10 p.m., the report said.
Two other officers in a northbound squad who also saw the cycle heading south turned around and began following it. The squad then pulled behind the cycle after Pamaska stopped in the 2600 block of S. Kinnickinnic.
Pamaska then looked over his shoulder and saw the squad before taking off at a high rate of speed, the report said. The officers followed and activated the squad's emergency lights but shut them off when they saw the cycle veering into northbound traffic.» Read Full Article

Franklin teacher named finalist for Presidential Teaching Award
Forest Park Middle School teacher Mary Fassbender is one of five Wisconsin educators being considered for Presidential Teaching Awards, the nation's highest honor for mathematics and science teachers.
Fassbender teaches seventh and eighth grade.
"These teachers have been singled out by their peers, parents and former students, or school administrators as exceptional educators," State Superintendent Tony Evers said in a press release. "They represent the dedication of the many individuals who work with our students in Wisconsin classrooms throughout the school year. I congratulate them."
Following their nomination, each director completed application materials addressing how they met criteria, including mastery of content knowledge, use of instructional methods and strategies, effective use of assessment, reflective practice and lifelong learning and leadership in education outside the classroom.
A committee organized by the National Science Foundation may select one teacher of mathematics and one of science to receive presidential awards from each state and four U.S. jurisdictions. Winners receive $10,000 and a certificate signed by the president.
Dunham's to open Franklin store in former Jewel-Osco
Dunham's Sports will open a new Franklin store, in a long-vacant former supermarket building, by November, according to the building's leasing agent.
Dunham's is leasing 39,000 square feet at the former Jewel-Osco, 6543 S. 27th St., which has been vacant for over four years, said John Kuhn, of Siegel-Gallagher Inc.
Also, a fitness center has agreed to lease the remaining space of just under 24,000 square feet, Kuhn said. He declined to name the center, but the Franklin Plan Commission on Thursday is reviewing plans for a proposed Planet Fitness at that location.
The fitness center also plans to open by November, Kuhn said.
The building is owned by Bry-Franklin LLC, a Chicago investors group, which bought it last August.
Dog runs away moments after coming to new home
What should have been a happy day - welcoming a new dog to the family - quickly turned into a sad, franctic one for a Greendale couple this week.
The Borrellis hardly had time to celebrate the arrival of their new dog on Tuesday before it scampered off from their home at 5600 Churchway, heading to parts unknown.
Teddie, a 4-year-old Yorkie, ran away from their yard less than a half-hour after his arrival. Teresa Borrelli, in an e-mail, said the skittish puppy mill refugee, adopted from an Illinois rescue shelter, was apparently spooked by birdbath when he ran off.
Teresa and her husband, Andrews, spent the rest of the day and the following morning looking for him, to no avail. While the dog has a microchip implanted to help shelters identify him and his home, the Borrellis are also helping others can help.
Teddie has reddish hair on his head and legs; black, gray and white hair on his back; and weighs about 10 pounds. He has a black collar with rhinestones and may still be dragging a blue leash. Anyone who spots a dog matching his description can contact Andrew or Teresa at (414) 218-8196 or email them at email@example.com.
Despite hitting woes, Oak Creek outlasts Muskego, 5-4, in Greater Metro playoff
Still struggling to regain the mojo that won it 18 straight games and the Greater Metro Conference regular season title, the Oak Creek baseball team was looking for a win anyway it could get it in the third-place tilt of the league tourney with Muskego Wednesday night.
So when pinch-hitter Tanner Johnson surprisingly walked on four pitches to drive in teammate Casey Magyar with the winning run in the bottom of the eighth inning, coach Scott Holler was not about to be ungrateful over that unexpected boon.
"We lost to (Menomonee) Falls last week and we lost to Marquette (4-3 in the semifinal) last night," said Holler, "and we act like the world is caving in on us. I had to remind them that we're 25-4. Sometimes the kids just need to be reminded that the game doesn't give you anything."
"You have to go out and earn it."» Read Full Article
Man with dog may have tried to lure kids
Franklin police want to find out more about a man who suspiciously approached two children on Monday in the city, possibly using a dog as a lure.
In a press release issued today, police say they are investigating a report that a man - described as white, 50 to 60 years old, with gray balding hair - driving a white midsized vehicle stopped at an intersection of West Imperial Drive and 83rd Street, where the children were standing at about 7:30 p.m.
On the front seat of his vehicle sat a dog, possibly a yellow Labrador. The man asked the children "Do you want to pet my dog?", according to the police report. When the children declined, the man drove off.
Police are asking anyone with information, or reports of similar incidents, to call the Franklin Police Department at (414) 425-2522.
Police are also reminding parents about the value of monitoring the outdoor activities as a precautionary measure at all times.
Several runners hospitalized following Summerfest race
More than 20 runners were taken to the hospital and about 50 received emergency medical attention for heat-related problems during Summerfest's inaugural Rock 'n Sole event Sunday.
The half-marathon and 10K race turned into a full-fledged emergency when early hydration stations ran out of water and cups. Runners started collapsing in the humid 85-degree heat, and some were unable to get immediate help because of a lack of medical aid stations. No medical aid was available on the 2.5-mile-long Hoan Bridge.
Organizers ended the race around 10:30 a.m. because of dangerous conditions, although many runners had crossed the finish line by then.
The Milwaukee Fire Department provided about 15 runners with intravenous fluids and took them to Columbia St. Mary's Hospital and Aurora Sinai Medical Center. Bell Ambulance transported 6 to 10 more, Milwaukee Fire Department Deputy Chief Jack Christianson said.
"We saw a lot of IVs started, just to get fluids back," Christianson said. "I don't know the number of IV bags we went through, but every patient we transported had an IV.» Read Full Article
Falls breaks Oak Creek's 18-game winning streak, 8-5, in 10 innings
The gloom of darkness was starting to fall after the three-hour and 11-minute struggle, but Menomonee Falls baseball coach Pat Hansen could still clearly see the meaning of his team's hard-earned, 8-5, 10-inning win over Greater Metro Conference regular season champ Oak Creek Thursday night.
"We keep talking about it, that we're good enough to beat anyone out there," said Hansen, "but we fell short twice to Franklin and lost a tough one to New Berlin Eisenhower which is having a good season, so it's nice to say we can beat anyone we play, but it's much better that we actually do it."
The win improved Falls to 13-6 in the GMC and 17-8 overall while Oak Creek, which clinched the GMC regular season title earlier in the week when Franklin lost to Marquette, finished up the league campaign at 17-3 and 23-3 overall. The loss broke an 18-game winning streak for the Knights.
The Knights will be the top seed in the GMC Tournament that will be played Monday through Wednesday. Oak Creek coach Scott Holler was pleased with how his team battled back from an early 4-1 deficit but notes that the team will have to be sharper come tournament time.
"I was happy with the way we hit the ball," he said. "We hit some shots that were right at some people, but sometimes that's the way it goes. It was just a good ball game. We've been having some trouble lately stringing together hits and we're still trying to figure out the right mix in certain situations."» Read Full Article
Man in Cudahy in critical condition, apparently beaten
A man was apparently beaten and in critical, but stable condition Wednesday after he was found at a home in Cudahy, police said.
Cudahy officers were called to a home in the 5700 block of S.

The man was flown to Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa with possible life-threatening injuries, police said.
Downed utility pole closes I-94 near College Ave. for hours
I-94 near W. College Ave. was closed for about five hours Tuesday after a downed utility pole sent wires across the freeway, according to the Milwaukee County sheriff's office.
Deputies closed the freeway in both directions from about 1:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Barry McNulty, a We Energies spokesman, said a dump truck clipped a cable television line in the area, bringing down a utility pole. It also brought down electrical wires attached to the pole.
About 1,000 We Energies customers lost electrical power because of the accident, but service was restored for most of the customers by the time the freeway was reopened, McNulty said.
Repairs were delayed because the work crews had trouble getting through the traffic congestion created by the accident, McNulty said.» Read Full Article

[FIXED][2.x] Ext.grid.RowSelectionModel.selectRow called twice when click on row
I have GridPanel with enableDragDrop and Ext.grid.RowSelectionModel.
I want to store selection server-side. I need to override Ext.grid.RowSelectionModel.selectRow to do some AJAX about selection change.
My grid calls selectRow twice on single click into row on FF, Opera and Safari. On IE it is called only once.
Ext.grid.RowSelectionModel.initEvents defines rowclick event handler. This causes redundant second call to selectRow. The first call to selectRow was previously done in Ext.grid.RowSelectionModel.handleMouseDown (and I hope this is right place where to handle selections).
Maybe this rowclick event is there for some good reason, but in my case it causes troubles and I don't want to clutter my code with detections of redundant selectRow calls. I've just commented it out.
21 Nov 2007 7:39 AM #2
Please read this before posting a bug http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13985.
This is likely a bug in your code, the selectRow fn is not called twice. You can verify this by adding the following line to the array grid example before the selectFirstRow() call.
grid.selModel.on('rowselect', function() {alert('x')});Tim Ryan

Tim, thanks for pointing me to simplest test case.
You can reproduce the bug by:
grid.selModel.on('rowselect', function() { var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]; body.appendChild(document.createTextNode("rowselect ")); });
And by adding this into grid config:
enableDrag: true
22 Nov 2007 5:11 AM #4
Same problem
If a grid is drag and drop enabled, the following 3 functions get called twice:
The reason for this is that the internal DragSource component that gets added to the Grid, calls the selectRow function on the RowSelectionModel component via its handleMouseDown event. The selectRow function gets called again from within the RowSelectionModel
22 Nov 2007 12:57 PM #5
This works for me, I use modified RowSelectionModel:
1. commented out rowclick event handler
2. sanitized "up" to do nothing when lastActive is 0 (active carret is on the first row and there is no room to move up)
3. sanitize "down" to do nothing when lastActive is on last grid row
Changes 2 and 3 are probably not important for you, because selectRow handles this situation and does nothing. I just needed to have clean calls to selectRange for my server notifications.
FixedRowSelectionModel = function(config) { FixedRowSelectionModel.superclass.constructor.call(this, config); }; Ext.extend(FixedRowSelectionModel, Ext.grid.RowSelectionModel, { //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- initEvents : function(){ if(!this.grid.enableDragDrop && !this.grid.enableDrag){ this.grid.on("rowmousedown", this.handleMouseDown, this); }else{ /* this.grid.on("rowclick", function(grid, rowIndex, e) { if(e.button === 0 && !e.shiftKey && !e.ctrlKey) { this.selectRow(rowIndex, false); grid.view.focusRow(rowIndex); } }, this); */ } this.rowNav = new Ext.KeyNav(this.grid.getGridEl(), { "up" : function(e){ if(!e.shiftKey){ this.selectPrevious(e.shiftKey); }else if(this.last !== false && this.lastActive !== false){ if (this.lastActive>0) { var last = this.last; this.selectRange(this.last, this.lastActive-1); this.grid.getView().focusRow(this.lastActive); if(last !== false){ this.last = last; } } }else{ this.selectFirstRow(); } }, "down" : function(e){ if(!e.shiftKey){ this.selectNext(e.shiftKey); }else if(this.last !== false && this.lastActive !== false){ if (this.lastActive<this.grid.store.getCount()-1) { var last = this.last; this.selectRange(this.last, this.lastActive+1); this.grid.getView().focusRow(this.lastActive); if(last !== false){ this.last = last; } } }else{ this.selectFirstRow(); } }, scope: this }); var view = this.grid.view; view.on("refresh", this.onRefresh, this); view.on("rowupdated", this.onRowUpdated, this); view.on("rowremoved", this.onRemove, this); } });

PARIS (AP) -- Thousands of Iranian exiles have led a Paris rally to demand democratic change in Iran and help for Iranian resistance members in Iraq's refugee camps.
The National Council of Resistance of Iran -- which organized Saturday's event at a convention center in the northern suburb of Villepinte -- estimated the turnout at nearly 100,000 people.
The council -- which is on a U.S. list of terror organizations -- has won support from some former U.S. officials such as former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell.
Rendell, who attended the rally, urged the U.N., the U.S. and the European Union to start the "emigration process" for Iranian refugees, saying they live in "terrible" condition in Iraq's Ashraf camp.
BEIJING (AP) -- A Chinese spacecraft carrying three astronauts has carried out a manual docking with an orbiting module, a first for the country as it strives to match American and Russian exploits in space.
The Shenzhou 9 capsule completed the maneuver with the Tiangong 1 module shortly before 1 p.m. (0500 GMT) Sunday. The docking was shown live on national television. It follows a docking last week that was carried out by remote control from a ground base in China.
Astronauts have been living and working in the module for several days as part of preparations for manning a permanent space station.
China is hoping to join the United States and Russia as the only countries to send independently maintained space stations into orbit.
SANAA, Yemen (AP) -- The governor of a southern Yemeni province says troops backed with tanks have regained control of an al-Qaida stronghold in the south, the latest success in a weeks-long government offensive.
Ali al-Ahmadi, who is the governor of Shabwa province, says three days of shelling of al-Qaida positions on the outskirts of Azzan town and warnings to local tribal leaders of further escalation caused the militants to flee Saturday into the mountains and to camps in the desert of two nearby provinces. He had no word on casualties.
Azzan had been used by the militant group as a media headquarters.
The army's offensive against what is seen as the world's most dangerous offshoot of al-Qaida has seen the recapture of several towns that the militants seized during last year's political turmoil.
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- A Kenyan official says police seized material they believe can be used to assemble a bomb, a day after the U.S. warned of an imminent terrorist attack in Kenya.
A police official, who asked for anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the press, said Saturday that three suspects dropped a bag and ran after police confronted them near a highly populated slum.
The official says police found 6 kilograms (13 pounds) of ammonium nitrate and other items they believe can be used to make a bomb.
Police said an improvised bomb killed 1 person and injured 32 others in downtown Nairobi last month. Officials believe ammonium nitrate was used to assemble that bomb.
Al-Qaida linked al-Shabab militants from Somalia have threatened to retaliate after Kenya sent troops to Somalia to pursue the militants.
NEW YORK (AP) -- The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude-6.1 earthquake has struck off the coast of eastern Russia.
The strong temblor was centered 166 miles (268 km) south-southwest of Il'pyrskiy, just off Russia's Far East Coast at 11:15 p.m. EST on Saturday, according to the USGS website.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damages and there was no immediate tsunami alert issued.

I was programming in python and I had two text editors open to the same file, and right before I shut down my computer I saved in the wrong one and overwrote the version I wanted to keep. How can I restore the old version? I'm using Mac OS X Snow Leopard
There is little hope unless one or both of the editors squirrel away copies of the file for you or embed the undo buffer in the document.
It really depends on the editors and the settings.
One last ditch effort is to use the
In this case, even software that recovers deleted files won't be of use when another editor truncates the file. It was shredded and not simply deleted
On a personal note, We all learn this lesson about data loss in a personal way, usually many times over.
It's not overkill to have both version control and an automated backup system.
Time Machine is marvelous in that it makes hourly snapshots so you lose at most an hours work. Files that have been around for [a day|a week] are saved for [a month|until the drive fills]. It really works well in practice, and if you have local backups, you might even have snapshots more often than one an hour to recover a file. Sorry to hear you lost work, it's never a good feeling.
You could try this: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk which is free undelete software, although it operates at the command line level. If you are happy with Python I will assume you are familiar enough with the terminal.app.
Other than that, Hope your backup caught the previous file, if you don't have a backup start making one, and/or consider switching to a text editor that provides for revisions/versions/backups etc. Prevention is better than cure, and being proactive with backups is better than being reactive with undeletes. Mistakes happen, I hop you can get your file back one way or another, and think about altering your workflow to try to prevent it happening again.
You don't mention which editors you were using. My primary editor is BBEdit which has a preference to make backups of every file you save. On my system the files are saved to:

This visa stamp and your 'Certificate of Eligibility' (I-20) will allow you to apply for entry to the United States in F1 student status.
Remember - your visa alone does not guarantee entry into the U.S. You must show all documents, including:
- A endorsed I-20 from Clarkson University
- A valid visa
- A valid passport, and
- Proof of SEVIS fee payment
It is strongly recommended that you apply for your visa well in advance of th date you would like to depart - your actual visa appointment can be made 120 days prior to your planned arrival date in the U.S.
Please be aware of your 'arrive by' date as noted on your I-20 to participate in orientation activities. Arrivals after this date must have program and ISSO approval. Failure to comply may result in denied entry by port of entry officials.
Following are the general documents you will need to apply for your F1 student visa, however - you should review your embassy or consulate website for specific instructions. More information can be found by viewing the Study in the States website.
General Documents -
- Form I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility) signed by you and the Clarkson University Official
- Form DS-160 - (nonimmigrant visa application)
- A valid passport for travel with validity at least six months into the future
- One (1) 2x2 photgraph (see specific photo requirements on your embassy or consulate website)
- Visa application fee
- Visa issuance fee (if applicable)
- SEVIS fee receipt
You should also be prepared to provide -
- Transcripts/dipolmas from previous institutions attended
- Test scores required for admission to Clarkson University
- Financial documentation presented during I-20 processing indicating sufficient funds to cover your tuition and living expenses
- Documents showing your 'non-immigrant intent' or ties to your home country
Special note for Canadian Citizens - You will not need to apply for a visa - instead - you will apply for entrance to the U.S. as a student at the border. A U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) officer will inspect your documents and process your entry for F1 student status.
Please be sure to carry ALL of the following documents when crossing the border -
- Your I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility)
- Your Passport - this must be valid at least 6 months into the future
- Your letter of admission to Clarkson University
- Proof of SEVIS fee payment - this must be paid prior to arriving at the border!
- Proof of fianncial support that corresponds to the information provided on your I-20.

Could this ever happen? How could we solve it? (Inspired by Twitter Verified Account)
Applying for a job someone includes http://stackoverflow.com/users/22656/jon-skeet in their Resume/CV as proof they are 'mazing.
Granted it would be difficult to convince the employer you choose the username jon-skeet (plus the picture), but there are plenty of +20k users with odd usernames and no picture.
I know it seems a trivial matter but, Twitter probably thought the same 18 month ago. And as we know people are getting jobs off the back of SO.

6 Horrifying Dark Sides of Creatures You Think Are Adorable
Nature is filled with horrible beasts that look like they want to kill you (and in fact very much do). But at least those nightmares are honest, and look the part. The real assholes are those animals that look completely harmless -- adorable even -- but possess secret powers that expose them as the goddamned monsters and borderline space aliens that they truly are. For example ...
#6. Starfish Are Flesh-Eating Predators With Detachable Stomachs of Acidic Doom
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
For many of us, starfish are little more than blind, deaf, headless, brainless creatures that feel just as at home dried up on the beach as they do rambling along in the water. If they could talk, they would absolutely be Patrick from SpongeBob. It's almost impossible for them to look less intimidating than they already do. That, unfortunately, is part of their cruel master plan. Behold a starfish's eating habits:
Mad as a Marine Biologist
Still more dignified than Golden Corral.
Yep, starfish are voracious meat lovers, consuming anything they can catch: oysters, fish, snails. Shit, if we were small enough, they'd probably get us, too. But perhaps you're wondering how they actually, you know, digest stuff, since they lack teeth, jaws, or anything even remotely resembling a mouth. Simple: They spit their sticky, acidic stomach clean out of their body, catching their prey and digesting it for hours, sometimes days.
Rodger Jackman/Oxford Scientific via Getty Images
And the Sarlacc waited for Boba Fett to fall into its mouth like a goddamn amateur.
Other starfish, like the appropriately named ambush starfish, trick their prey by raising themselves up like an adorable little tent. Just when whatever's on the menu thinks it's found a sweet little bunker to hide from predators in, it's murdered via sheer irony, and then slowly digested in horribly painful ways -- the usual routine.
New Zealand Dept. of Conservation
We weren't kidding when we said camping sucks.
Oh, but starfish aren't done poisoning your once-pleasant dreams. The snake-armed Labidiaster, despite having all the speed and agility of, well, a damned starfish, manages to snatch fast-moving, swimming prey as it passes by. Naturally, it doesn't look like much:
Martin Rauschert via SCAR-MarBIN
Kinda weird, kinda leggy, but kinda fuzzy too, right? Let's get a closer look at those legs:
University of Illinois
The Langoliers!
Of course they're made of teeth. Of course they are. These organic traps are known as pedicellariae, and the Labidiaster is completely covered in them. That explains how it catches so much prey; if one claw doesn't get you, there's about a million more just itching to have a go.
In conclusion: SpongeBob is bullshit. If that show were truly accurate, Patrick would be covered in gibbering demonic maws, regularly disguise himself as a traveling circus, and shit out his own intestines en route to turning SpongeBob into a melty, quivering taste sensation that even the krabbiest of Krabby Patties couldn't hope to match.
#5. Octopoteuthis Sports Undead Battle Tentacles
MBARI via Fox News
Unlike the giant squids of the world, Octopoteuthis deletron doesn't look like it could do any damage whatsoever. It's just an ordinary little squid, right? Even the whole one-eye thing is cute for once.
Discovery Channel via CBS News
In a sea full of two-eyed marine life, the one-eyed cephalopod has trouble judging distance.
Well, it turns out the eye is the only harmless part of this little guy. That's because this thing engages in something known as attack autotomy. In a nutshell, it deliberately snaps off its own limbs, leaving them behind so they can kill at will while master is away. As far as we know, this is the only animal that does it, so there's some good news at least.
Discover Magazine
It would certainly redefine "bear traps" if others could.
See the above pics? All arrows point to the same fucking tentacle, which is still very much alive in the bottom-right pic. The squid can, at any time, snap off part or all of as many limbs as it wants, at which point the murder spree begins. See those painful-looking, razor-sharp barbs the tentacles sport the entire way down? Yeah, they hurt. Once severed from its owner, the disembodied limb goes completely berserk, wiggling and convulsing in every possible direction, over and over again. Like mindless, fang-covered worms, the severed tentacles will just keep digging their thorns into whatever they were wrapped around when they broke loose.
And we mean anything; here's one using two of its limbs to attack a cleaning brush, a rare delicacy only served at the fanciest and most exclusive squidstaurants around:
Oh, and this isn't just some show meant to distract prey until the main body gets back from the salon or the mall or whatever it does after dropping the arms off at day care. No, the goals here are to survive, and kill. Remember, this squid is not very big, so it's often prudent to get the shit out of Dodge when an enemy arrives. Of course, if you flee, you can't eat, right? Well, that's where the spastic limb brigade comes in. After the squid swims away from the scene, the arms keep attacking and injuring the enemy until it dies, or at least is maimed beyond repair. Then, much like an asshole manager who swoops in to take credit after his employees do 99 percent of the work, the squid itself returns to finish the job and feast away.
#4. Snails Are Nature's Chainsaw Massacre
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Unless you make your living growing cucumbers, you probably don't fear snails. They're slightly slimy, very googly-eyed, and quite delicious when cooked the right way. At worst, they resemble giant loads of phlegm that gained sentience and slowly slithered away. That's certainly gross, but it isn't nightmare fuel, right? Well, tell that to this earthworm, which is about to be ground up by the snail's mouth-razors:
That, children, is an amber snail, native to New Zealand (in case you needed another reason to not go there). It will slowly stalk its prey (sometimes in full view if said prey is blind or stupid enough) and suddenly attack, scooping it up and swallowing it in one bite. But it's not so much what it eats but how it eats it. Turns out its mouth is a full-blown medieval torture chamber.
Sadly, the band name "Snail Mouth" just doesn't have the same ring as "Iron Maiden."
See that? That's its mouth. Called a radula, it's completely covered in thin, overlapping, razor-sharp blades, operating like slow-motion chainsaws that peel the skin off their victims one agonizing layer at a time. So in the above video, for the 30 seconds or so that the end of the worm was dangling outside the snail's terrible, terrible mouth, the front end was getting skinned alive so as to make digestion easier.
Barnegat Shellfish
Except for Yosemite Sam, who would come out the other end as a bale of hay.
But don't think it's just the one Down Under snail that secretly hates everything. There's also the rosy wolf snail, a cannibalistic species that was sent to Hawaii in order to eradicate an invasive group of African land snails. They did that and far more, chewing their way through just about anything resembling a snail, ultimately rendering hundreds of species completely extinct. Here's some footage of them doing just that; even without the horror movie music, this scene is just plain terrifying:
And it still doesn't end! Even heavily armored creatures are no match for these slimy demons. Beach-dwelling moon snails have recently been observed sneaking up and pouncing on crabs, drenching them in slime until they can't escape, and using those goddamned chainsaw tongues to drill a hole clear through the victim's shell, scraping and shaving until they can slurp out all the tasty, tasty crab guts available.
And judging by this video, said crabs are alive the whole time, because nature actively enjoys being the worst.


text: UPDATED 03:25 15th August 2013 Midfielder Kevin McDonald arrived at Wolves in August, 2013, signing a three year contract after checking in from Sheffield United on an undisclosed fee.Born in Carnoustie, McDonald, a creative midfielder, began his career with Dundee and attracted interest from Celtic before moving south to Burnley for £500,000 in November, 2008.The Scotland Under 21 international penned a three year deal at Turf Moor and he played Barclays Premier League football for The Clarets making over 100 appearances for them. He also hit both goals in a 2-1 League Cup victory against Arsenal during his spell with Burnley. Following relegation, he spent a short loan spell with Scunthorpe before a longer temporary stay with Notts County. His contract with Burnley expired in the summer of 2011 after which he signed a one-year deal with Sheffield United.Kevin became a regular in the side but missed out on the play-off final defeat by Huddersfield because of injury. He signed a new two-year contract with The Blades at the end of the 2011/12 campaign. With plenty of previous experience at Under-21 level with Scotland, McDonald was the second signing made by Head Coach Kenny Jackett, the midfielder deciding to move despite efforts from Sheffield United to keep him at Bramall Lane. He quickly got into his stride at Molineux, and his excellent first season saw him not only help Wolves to the League One title but also secure the Fans' and Players' Player of the Year award. McDonald then followed up with a further 47 appearances in all competitions as the team narrowly missed out on the Championship play-offs in the 2014/15 season.

Road to Worlds Most Famous Brevet Race Paris-Brest (1230km)-Part 5
The Final Preparation has begun,2 and a half months for the Dream Race.
Good training, good rest and try to keep out of troubles generally.
Is this much that I asked? Yeah if you are living in Rodos island where in the summer
Its becoming crazy. Everyone having fun, tourists everywhere, amazing nightlife,
Amazing beaches etc. etc.
I told my self I would resist. No drinking, no night life, no crazy stuff …
Work, training and rest…I sacrificed too many things for this goal and I am almost there!
You don't know how difficult is when you are working in the airport with no stable shifts and then day by day 2 hours standard in the gym for Spinning® sessions to find
Time for endurance training. Also when you are with another person you have to think and about her, and to spend some quality time together and also balance it with your friends time. For personal time I don't speak cause simply this thing can not exist when you have all these.
So this summer of preparation was spent like this.
The Day offs from work I had 6-8 hours training, usually Tour of Rodos 180km.
Then a bit rest, probably Spinning® session and some time with friends or relationship.
The other days work, training, food and sleep. Very important here to add is that the days that I was finishing work at night I did my night cycling training so I was preparing my vision and body for night riding. My friends were going for a beer or a cocktail and I was going for cycling. How cool it sounds??
But when you have a goal you have to sacrifice things and every choice we make we know that has consequences and positives.
And if you want to watch from another angle simple thing that many people as much and as they want it they cannot even try. So the people that have the abilities and skills and now also the chance how can they abandon something like this!
So this summer was a really special part of my life.
It's the time that you step out of your comfort zone and you say I will do it whatever!!!!
And you as the time passes you are getting closer and closer…
And things are becoming harder and harder…
But it's the point that you say.<<I reached so far I won't abandon>>
I cannot abandon.. Mind is over body …Mind is taking control then…
The time that you are seeking and your last piece of courage and Mental strength to fight one more day…
Until you are there…In front of your Dream….
One step to make it happen…
One touch to feel it…
So I was in August of 2011…After a long summer…The time for the Unachievable was there…Unachievable was there waiting for me to make it happen….
And the journey begun…Me along with other 30 Greeks going to conquer France…
The Story Continues ...

1975 Chevy Laguna - Comfort ZoneWritten by Johnny Hunkins on February 1, 2010 If Looks Could Kill, The Interior Of Our Laguna Would've Had Us Six Feet Under A longtime Ago. We Finally Take Matters Into Hand.
No matter how nice your engine, your paint, your rolling stock, or your drivetrain, your project car just isn't going to get props with a trashed interior and dry-rotted weatherstripping. Even if you don't care what others think, a trashy interior is neither comfortable, nor does it give you the sense of pride you want in your hot rod. Case in point: Our Laguna's interior had all the allure of the inside of a garbage dumpster when we got it. The list of health department violations encompassed (but was not limited to) completely worn-out carpet, hammered sill plates, incorrect and unsafe seats, split upholstery, and an undetermined sticky, smelly goo that covered all the touchpoints such as the steering wheel and gearshift knob.
Much of the work on the interior was accomplished at the same time we did the wheels, tires, paint, graphics, and other exterior tweaks like the custom spoilers. That work was accomplished at Heath Elmer Restorations in Gilbert, Arizona, with the help of Heath Elmer and Keith Kanak. Our thanks go out to Elmer and Kanak for helping us tackle this hazmat job.
The decision to take on an old project, especially one that isn't super popular, isn't an easy one. You may like a '75 Laguna as much as a '69 Chevelle, but finding key parts for an interior restoration can be a daunting task. Fortunately, we found out that Original Parts Group (OPG) and SoffSeal makes goodies for our oddball Laguna-stuff like weatherstripping, carpet, and upholstery kits. We also discovered a place called Dixie Monte Carlo Depot that makes a lot of stuff for Lagunas, including a very nice vinyl dash cap for $75. (This cool piece, PN DB00187, attaches to any torn or split dash pad with RTV, and can make your dash look brand new. Unfortunately, we made the mistake of parking our Laguna in the Mojave Desert with the windows rolled up on a 119-degree day, and the cap got too wavy from the heat. Unless you see temperatures like we do, you'll probably be OK with this solution.) Another cool product we liked even more after it was installed was a pair of Procar Rally 1000 seats. These have a classic muscle car look with the support of modern seats-they're the best of both worlds, and at about $330 apiece, aren't that expensive either.
The Laguna no longer feels, looks, or smells like the inside of a 13-year-old's room, which is saying a lot. The vast improvement inside the cockpit makes our junky dashboard and instrument panel stand out all the more, so we'll need to come back to that in a few months with an improvement there. Right now, we're scoping out the services of Just Dashes. We've seen some of their work in some of the cars we've featured, and it's impressive. Before that, however, we're going to swap our loose torque converter for something tighter, and head back to the chassis dyno for next month's story. If all goes well there, we could be ready for a drag test soon after that!

Part of the interior restoration started while the Laguna was in paint jail. Elmer pulled the stock hinges, soda blasted them, and rebuilt them with new hinge pins. This will make the door swing straight and level where it used to sag and drag against the sill. These were painted black and reinstalled along with new door strikers.The most transformative change to the interior came from these Scat Procar Rally 1000 seats. These chairs manage to do what few others can: They preserve the period muscle car vibe with their styling, stitching, vinyl fabric, and low-back design, while providing the support that only modern seats can give. Procar even makes seat brackets for the '73-77 Chevelle. Seats and brackets will set you back about $750.The rear upholstery in the Laguna was totally spent, so when we discovered that OPG actually makes these for our car, we jumped on a set for about $110. Removing the old covers here involves the tedious task of unbending several dozen hog rings that hold the upholstery to the seat frame.After stretching out the new OPG seat cover on the seat frame, you'll need to attach it to the frame with hog rings, using a set of hog ring pliers. The OPG rear seat upholstery even comes with buttons. These insert into the upholstery, and fasten to the seatback frame for a contoured look. Check out the opening photo to see the results.Our OPG-supplied carpet set was of high quality, and fit the floor pan like a glove. It helps to unfold the carpet and let it flatten out for a few days before installing it. The biggest job here was taking measurements for the shifter position directly from the car's interior, and transferring them to the carpet along its centerline. You'll want a tape measurer, masking tape, and a carpet knife to cut your shifter opening.Our Laguna uses both studs and boltholes to secure its seats. Cutting holes in the carpet for the studs was a simple matter of finding the stud and cutting a slot. For boltholes, you'll need to poke around with your finger and then make a cut. It's not as simple as it sounds.Unfortunately, nobody makes reproduction sill plates for the '73-77 Chevelle/Malibu/Laguna, which is surprising since they're the same as a Monte Carlo of the same year. We decided to refurbish ours with some soapy water, some Scotch-Brite, and a wire brush. Big dents were worked out with a planishing hammer on the edge of a vice. The results turned out quite nice, and cost nothing but our labor.Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric Paint is an indispensable tool for restoring any interior, because let's face it, you're never going to find NOS or reproduction pieces for everything. A can of this can make any interior part look new again, and we used a lot of it. Summit sells it for $7.95 a can, but you can find it in most auto parts stores like Auto Zone or Rock Auto.If this was a cooking show, I'd probably be saying "Bam!" right now. The Laguna's center console went from tired to brand-new with about a half a can of Dupli-Color HVP-106 (flat black Vinyl & Fabric Paint). The texture is actually closer to satin black than flat black-don't let the description on the can fool you. This looks way better than gloss black.
The Procar seat brackets needed a little persuasion (gratis Elmer) to perfectly match the holes in the floor of the Laguna. The important thing to remember is that these brackets fit a lot of different cars, but once the floor tabs are aligned, the seats will end up at the proper height and seat angle. After messaging the brackets, we touched them up with some satin black spray paint.After tweaking the brackets and mounting them to the adjusters and the seats, it was time to bolt those babies in! Things started taking a turn for the better about that time. Take a look at the torn headliner-we're going to circle back around later and tackle that with some other remaining items on the to-do list.The SoffSeal weatherstripping comes in two parts that need to be purchased separately-the door weatherstripping (PN 5017, $89), and the roof rail weatherstripping (PN 5035, $82). You'll want to start in the corner, and work your way out from there, compressing the lip into the channel with your fingers. The door weatherstripping has stubs that snap into small holes in the door frame-the blunt handle of a screwdriver is a good tool to use for that.Now the bad news. Our dash pad was totally spent, especially after taking out our non-functional factory A/C. We'll be sending it out to Just Dashes to get it rebuilt back to new, and bring that to you in a later story. We did replace our ancient Sun tach with a new Stewart Warner unit (see October 2009-"Gimme Back My Bullet"), and found a non-descript billet steering wheel at a swap meet for $50. We also added some Summit electronic gauges for $89.95 that we also showed you in the October 2009 issue.We've been collecting this group of parts from Laguna enthusiasts Larry Belcher and Steve Yoder (whose car was featured on the cover of the December issue). Shown are a stock gauge panel, glovebox, ashtray, glovebox door, shifter bezel, and a bag with a visor hinge, and a retaining circlip for the shifter knob. A lot of Laguna stuff is just not available anymore, so it pays to do some networking. We'll tackle this stuff when we get our dash pad back from Just Dashes. In the meantime, we'd like to give a shout-out to Belcher and Yoder for all their help!The Laguna's console was grungy, and needed lots of TLC with some soapy water and some Scotch-Brite. The console lid hinge is a plastic membrane that had long since split. We bought some metal kitchen cabinet hinges from the hardware store and screwed the hinges to the lid and the box. It's not perfectly lined up or even, but at least it works now.

Oh, the funky things we find at garage sales. Vegan Mom picked up this rosette and timbale iron (circa the 1950s, I think) this weekend. To be honest, I have never seen such a thing and wasn't even sure what a rosette or timbale was, let alone how the iron aided in their creation. Luckily, the box included a handy book of "unusual old world and American recipes" that answered all my questions. Rosettes are a type of cookie, and timbales are pastry shells into which on could place a variety of things (the book's suggestion: creamed tuna. Um . . . no?). The method of making these things smacks of the 1950s, too. Heat iron in fat, dunk iron into batter, dunk iron back into fat and deep-fry until done. The batters rely heavily on eggs and condensed milk but I really want to use these things just for the fun of it. So, stay tuned. And, has anyone heard of these type of irons before?

Rosettes are traditional 1st of May treat in Finland. A bit old fashioned and you rarely see them these days.

I've seen recipes for rosettes in old cookbooks, but always wondered how you get them off the iron once they've been fried--wouldn't the batter coat the entire thing?? I've always thought timbales were like little inverted custards or shaped veggie-and-custard thingies. . . never heard of them having a pastry crust before.

I would love to get a vegan recipe for these deep-fried cookies.

I have seen many recipes for timables in vintage cook books. I have a very old edition of The Joy of Cooking and it is just loaded with these things. Any fancy menu plan from the 50's suggests serving timbales filled with all manner of icky creamed items such as the tuna you mentioned. Have fun!

in Indian and Malay cooking there are similar types of cookies, though of course they are called something different and have different shapes. Same concept, though!

I have been thinking about these since you posted and had a hard time with them - I wonder if you can "season" them like you do with a cast iron pan which might create a non-stick surface? Just an idea...

This is the first time I've visited your site and love it.
I remember those rosette irons! My dad used to make powdered sugar covered treats. (He did all the cooking and much of the baking in our house.) I'm going to call my mom to see if she still has them!

I am having a problem with the final question of this exercise.
Show that $e$ is irrational (I did that). Then find the first $5$ digits in a decimal expansion of $e$ ($2.71828$).
Can you approximate $e$ by a rational number with error $< 10^{-1000}$ ?
Thank you in advance

I would like to make a cutting board from some hardwood I have. I'm pretty sure it has been imported, so I think it might have been fumigated or treated for insects/pests at some point. I've tried researching about this but I found very little, but the little I did find suggested sanding it as the fumigation process would only leave chemicals on the surface. Does anyone have any input? It looks like a good beginners project but I want it to be as food safe as possible.
migrated from diy.stackexchange.com Jan 14 '13 at 14:55
This question came from our site for contractors and serious DIYers.
If you think the wood was treated or fumigated, I wouldn't trust sanding to make the wood food-safe. As another answer notes, wood is porous and could very well have absorbed the chemicals deeper than you'll sand out.
I would definitely err on the side of caution here and only use wood that you know is safe to begin with. There is no finish that you can use on a cutting board that will keep the base wood completely out of contact with the food, due to knives being used on it.
I would recommend starting with hard maple. It makes durable, great-looking cutting boards, and is completely food-safe.
Wood is inherently porous, so the big concern with wooden cutting boards is keeping them relatively sanitary after chopping things like meat and fish on them. Some people use mineral oil or bees wax, although I have personally used coconut oil. Straight cooking oil isn't a good idea because it will go rancid.
One thing that you want to make absolutely sure of is that the wood has not been pressure treated or soaked in any kind of preservatives. If the hardwood was ever exposed or intended to be exposed to outside elements then there is a good possibility that it could be treated with highly toxic preservative chemicals.
My brother is a carpenter, and he would suggest using Salad Bowl Finish (http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=5344) I can personally attest to the fact that it does a nice job - we used it on all the cutting boards in our kitchen.

A walk down Long Street - A Cape Town Tourism Photo Essay
I took a walk down Long Street one afternoon about 2 weeks ago and got these pics. Long Street is one of my favourite places to take pics. There is always so much going on and such a vibe - it is positively contagious. And you never know what you're going to see - it has to rate as one of the most diverse and cosmopolitan streets in the world. I could spend every day there, just watching the people go by…
Relaxing and having a beer on Long street

"And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."
The quote above is by Kahlil Gibran, a Lebanese poet who was my grandpa's favorite author and whose simple words somehow never fail to reach deep into my heart in ways that even the most ornately polished proverbs cannot. When I came across these words this evening, I realized all at once what I've known but not understood for weeks: I've created so many commitments for myself that, between these constructs of my own and my academic responsibilities, I'm not leaving myself enough time to live a truly satisfying life. I want to do well in my classes - but more than that, I need to remind myself of what it feels like to run on a dirt trail, lie in wet grass, cook a good meal, take a bubble bath, and read a favorite book in bed.
This means a couple of things for you, dear readers: you're probably overwhemed by the sheer volume of swatches I've just posted all at once, as well as wondering what you can expect from here on out. Well, I want to clear out my clutter, because I know that mental and emotional peace is easier to find when I don't have to look for it under every pile of clothes, box of tissue paper, textbook, and traincase in my room, and that means, in part, getting rid of a lot of the cosmetics I've accumulated since I started blogging. Hence, I've posted everything I have left to post at the moment so I can consider myself done with these items and they can go in the "out" pile. (Oh, who am I kidding? It's an "out" mountain.) As for the other piece: no, I'm not abandoning the blog; you just might not see as much of me for a little while as I start to remove all this figurative duct tape covering the holes in my life and search for the pieces that will actually fit and ultimately fill those voids.
Thank you, and I'll see you again one day soon. :)

I know the feeling--as a college student I feel like my life tends to "snowball" out of control at times. Thanks so much for all you've done with the blog, your swatches are always beautiful and so, so helpful. I await your return and wish you ALL the luck in the world finding peace. :)ReplyDelete
Good for you for realizing it! And good luck! Bubble baths aren't worth giving up for practically anything, in my opinion. =)ReplyDelete
K, first of all, this is a beautiful post. Though I don't have a blog or comparable online commitments, I find myself in much the same position. The realization that life has become flatter and less joyous as it was or should be must be the most important step, right? Surely old habits die hard, and I know it'll be difficult (for me, at least) to re-channel my time and increase both my efficiency and my satisfaction. But it can, and must, be done!ReplyDelete
I know you deny your generosity, but what you are most generous with is your knowledge. You've taught a makeup newbie like me so very much; thanks to you, I feel that I've made smarter purchases and have begun to enjoy makeup more in general. Just know how much all of your work has been and will continue to be appreciated--whenever you have time to update, know that you have loyal readers who love and are grateful for your blog. And in the meantime, take care of yourself and seek the life-luster you're missing. You have my sincerest wishes of luck and happiness.
(PS: Do PM me when the sale goes live! :))
Horray!! I'm so glad to hear that you are going to stop and smell the roses for once. Or in the words of Ferris Beuller, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and take a look around once in a while you could miss it". Glad yo to hear you are going to take better care of yourself!!ReplyDelete
That was a beautiful, hearfelt post Kristina.. and I am happy that you are seizing this time to slow down and *breathe*ReplyDelete
I appreciate all that you have taught me (makeup and otherwise).. and I know you have done the same for many people out there.
If you ever feel overwhelmed, you can call me to vent.. I am always within reach.
I am happy for you and I wish you the best.
I know we will be in touch outside of MUA.
The most important thing is to take care of yourself - we will be waiting when you come back. Enjoy smelling the roses :-)ReplyDelete
Hey! Just wanted to say thank you for commenting on my blog. I hadn't even realized I had forgotten to put the name of the swatches up. Thank you for letting me know. I apologize. I was in a bit of a rush that night and got sidetracked. The names are there now. Always let me know cause I am very forgetful. Thanks again! Hope this helps :DReplyDelete
All comments are welcome, but if you are here to spam your link, your comment will be deleted. Please be respectful. Thanks!

WEIRTON - One thing the holiday season brings with it is the spirit of giving and the Weirton Salvation Army saw that on Thursday as volunteers packed themselves inside the organization's hall to prepare boxes of food set for distribution today in preparation for Thanksgiving.
Families were asked to be present outside the Weirton Salvation Army from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. today to accept boxes of food along with a turkey donated by Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort.
Salvation Army officials announced during the October meeting that more than 200 applications were submitted requesting assistance through the holidays for food, toys and coats through the Coats for Kids program. In addition, officials noted the number of families requesting help with food, utilites and other items, not related to the holiday season, continues to climb as a result of economic conditions.

PACKING DINNERS — Dozens of volunteers packaged more than 300 Thanksgiving dinners for local low-income individuals and families at the Weirton Salvation Army Thursday evening. -- Summer Wallace-Minger
In order to help curb some strain on local families throughout the holidays, 62 volunteers came in on Thursday to pack 288 boxes of food for families to help provide a Thanksgiving meal.
Brenda Greathouse, social services director for the Weirton Salvation Army, welcomed volunteers. She thanked them for giving their time.
"This is an important time of the year for us," said Greathouse. "There are a lot of families in need and without those willing to volunteer not only to help us pack food up and distribute it, but those who will be ringing the bells at various locations for our kettle drive, our Christmas distribution and helping with the recent food drive."
Greathouse said Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort donated 400 turkeys, something the business does annually. She said other local organizations also contribute funding for turkeys during the holidays.
"I am always so moved by how many volunteers come down to help get this food ready for the Thanksgiving distribution," added Greathouse. "This is truly amazing."
Board member Kitty Kochman said she has been involved with the Salvation Army for many years, but this was the first time she had helped with packing the food boxes for the holiday distributions. She said she knows the people who are in need and receiving them appreciate all the hard work and efforts of the Salvation Army and the volunteers.
Besides donating at the kettles, The Salvation Army offers several different opportunities for the community to share the holiday spirit with those less fortunate. Angel Trees, artificial Christmas trees bearing the cards with children's wish lists, will also begin to appear in local businesses.
For more information on how to volunteer or assist the Salvation Army call 304-748-4310.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
He pronounced it the way any Jew of Lithuanian or Russian origin would have pronounced it back then: "Feinshtain". Being that this is not our natural pronunciation of such names, it would appear to me to be disrespectful to mimic his European pronunciation. His own children and grandchildren do not use the old pronunciation unless they are among people who still speak that way.
I'm pretty sure that almost every time I've heard rabbis mentioning R' Moshe's last name, it was with a long "e" sound. The pronunciation (of anything) in this video is by no means authoritative.
I think that we should, indeed, pronounce people's names as they'd pronounce them, to the best of our knowledge and ability. For one thing, universal pronunciation is good for clarity, and there's no better canonical pronunciation of a person's name than that person's own pronunciation. For another thing, it seems to me that pronouncing people's names as they'd pronounce them is an act of respect.
As a shin-challenged Litvak, it is likely that R. Moshe personally pronounced it with the /s/ as we Americans do, and not the Yiddish /sh/.
Re Isaac's point about pronouncing it as they did as a mark of respect, if so then we'd be obliged to pronounce his first name "Mayse."
He pronounced it "fajnʃtajn", as in both "ei"s sounding like "eye" and the "s" like an "sh". I am reporting a firsthand account of Rav Moshe using this pronunciation regularly.

Shipping from the UK will likely be expensive.
@delfairen: the 33.62 price includes shipping.
@delfairen: Actually, the priced listed above is the price including shipping. This is the cheapest that this set has ever been on BR.
The site says "free shipping TO THE UK", just to let you know. Don't think it would be free to the US.
@honestmonkey: here's the breakdown:
£17.08 (lower price shows up on last screen) + £3.08 shipping (to US) = £20.16 or $33.62 USD
So just to make sure, since it's region-free I won't have any problems playing this on my US blu-ray player, right?
@jmcautomatic: correct.
I don't see anywhere what the format is: PAL or NTSC?
@jmcautomatic: For what it's worth...I got the Avengers 6-disc "region free" box set from Amazon UK a couple montha ago and all the discs played fine in my US LG Blu-Ray player
@songbirdjhs: Well unless he/she has changed the title since posting, its Region Free.
I pre-ordered this almost a year back from Amazon UK. Arrived about a week after its release. It's region free and will play in any Blu-Ray player. Additionally, Amazon has a fixed cost for shipping DVDs to the USA which is around $5.00 USD. Note that the quoted price for the DVD includes English VAT (value added tax) which is not charged when the item is shipped out of the country…like to the USA, so it's a bit lower than you'll see on screen. Excellent buy.
@songbirdjhs: this is bluray, so PAL vs NTSC does not apply. See here
I am in the U.S. and this is what it gives me right before completing the order. Looks like payment for shipping is not free to the U.S. but only to the U.K.
Items: GBP 17.08
Postage & Packing: GBP 3.08
Total before VAT: GBP 20.16
Order Total: GBP 20.16
(Payment Total: USD 33.62**)
@mrwizzy2002: The total you came to is the same total as what OP posted. You get charged shipping, the OP included this in the original price, it's a great deal, buy it!
Im in the US(Florida) and checkout went through without any problem for me. I almost bought this for my wife the other day for christmas at $66 or whatever, pretty stoked about this deal.
Hmm.. I got the DVDs for $10 from target a week ago, so I can't decide if I really need these. But it's such a great price.. Are the BluRays worth it?
It's a good deal, but the subtitles will be in British.
In for 2.
@thiney49: They are if you have a hi def television.
For anyone that likes languages, this set has about 10 audio tracks from French to Japanese, and around 28 subtitle tracks for various languages. I recently discovered this on my set I bought a few months back.
Deal looks dead. Now says 42.49 and when you take it through to the last screen the price remains the same.
I just tried to buy this and I get a total of $75.65:
Items: GBP 42.29
Postage & Packing: GBP 3.08
Total before VAT: GBP 45.37
Order Total: GBP 45.37
Payment Total: USD 75.65
Go into other buying options and choose amazon.co.uk
Hmm, that is cheap! Clearly it is in the crown's best interest to subsidize this series and ensure every household in the UK has a copy.
@ror2001: you sure you don't have 2 in your cart or something? i'm still getting the 33.62 price.
It's back and then gone again! They must have had a limited number, because when I tried to buy it earlier it say "only 2 left in stock". I went back a few minutes later and got it for the $33.62 price, but it says it won't arrive until after Christmas, which is fine by us.
Estimated dispatch: 15 Dec 2012 - 19 Dec 2012
This item will arrive after 25 Dec 2012.
However, I went back and checked it again after I checked out and it's back up to the $75 price. So, you might just have to keep going back and forth checking.
@carl669: I def only had 1 in there. Who knows why it keeps changing. If you click on the "28 new from" link, you can get it to pop up the $33 version. When I first went it took me to a seller who had it for $75. I went back later and it was on a different seller for the $33 price.
Doesn't matter any more, at least to me, as I got it for the sale price.
@skunkmonkey: it's even cheaper (by only $1.01 after local taxes) than the price I paid for the 8 individual movies on black friday at $3.96 each--i almost did it, but decided i didn't need the extra features and could save time & money by not having to drive back to wal-mart
Still worked for me just now, $33.64 shipped to the US. Will arrive after Christmas most likely, but I don't care. Only "problem" I can tell is that movie #1 will be called "Philosopher's Stone" not "Sorcerer's Stone" like in the US. I can't imagine this being a problem really for any fan of the books or movies.
Also, I'm sure that my bank will probably charge me a 3% fee for this overseas transaction, and more than likely, yours will too. Keep that in mind when you see a charge on your account for slightly more than the $33.64 promised. Hope I'm wrong, but they always have in the past...
Finally, I saw someone mention that PAL or NTSC doesn't matter for Blu-Ray, and that is correct. But, as far as I know, there are still Regions for Blu-Ray. The US is Region A while Europe is Region B. Doesn't matter for this deal since these are Region Free, but I saw some comments and thought they were't entirely clear...
I almost blew it off because of the people who said the deal was over, but ...since I haven't seen most of the movies I checked it out and it went through for 33.62 :) Now I need to get a BIG bag of popcorn!
I bought this set the last time it was listed and it won't play on any of the 4 Blu-Ray players I have.
The deal is still working. I just ordered.
Item(s) Subtotal: GBP 17.08
Postage & Packing: GBP 3.08
Total Before VAT: GBP 20.16
Total: GBP 20.16
Grand Total: GBP 20.16
Payment Grand Total: USD 33.62 **
Bought this exact set two months ago. Works perfectly on a PS3. I actually like the UK versions better.
Seems I missed the 17.08 price as it's now 20.50
Even though it said $20.50 price I decided to try to go thru the full order process to see if the final paage would be the better price....and it worked!! Got it for the $33.62. Thanks for those saying to try.
total paid $33.62 USD
8 Dec 2012
DISPATCH ESTIMATE Saturday 15 Dec 2012 - Wednesday 19 Dec 2012 DELIVERY ESTIMATE Saturday 22 Dec 2012 - Thursday 3 Jan 2013
This is a great deal! It is also still live in case anyone is curious. Just ordered with total $33.62 USD! Thanks OP!
I pulled the trigger. Decided it was just too good a price to pass up, so I really really hope that they do play on our blu-ray or it's going to suck.
They should I buy dvd's and blu rays off the UK site all the time. They generally list the region free stuff correctly. Time and again they will have stuff out of stock in the states or music and movies that are not stateside yet.
Very good deal I am in for one.
I too saw a higher price than some on here, but it depends on what seller Amazon "selects" for you. Don't forget to click on the "27 new from £20.50" link to see other offers. The 20.50 one is the official Amazon.co.uk seller, and the one that is giving the $33 USD after shipping deal.
And in short, yes the deal still works. I got mine on its way. As the brits say, Jolly Good!
Yep, still working! Total with standard shipping to US = 20.16 GBP = $33.62 USD! SCORE! Thank you, OP!
@craigf: In British! That's Great!
This is a great deal! Bought it around this time last year or early this year (hard to remember). Less than $40 for the series is a steal!
@txstjg1014: same! Pretty awesome deal
Just bought it and the total was the price OP posted.
Or you could just go local Amazon for $33.49 (Prime)
@markdaspark: that link is for the set on DVD.... The UK dealis Blu-ray
I bought these from the UK about a month ago. Great price and you get the movies as the book intended. ex. Philosopher instead of Sorcerer. Very happy with this purchase.
Amazon allowed me to place the order in USD so there should be no fee...
Even with expedited shipping I am paying $93 USD to get 2 copies before Christmas. If you are shopping for a Harry Potter fan, that's $40 cheaper than the US version and the British version is SOOO much more hipster than the American. They totally say "philosopher" instead of "sorcerer" in the first movie.
The deal is still on, so the wife will be happy for Christmas. Now, what else to get her???

text: Former Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi recently visited Columbia Law School to discuss Israeli national security. The retired general presented his analysis of the country's border security and said that the most pressing current threat to the country is the possibility that Iran might acquire a nuclear weapon. Visiting at the invitation of Professor Zohar Goshen, who serves as director of the Law School's Center for Israeli Legal Studies, Ashkenazi concluded the discussion by taking questions from the audience on the future of the Middle East following the Arab Spring uprisings, as well as on the stalled peace talks between Israel and Palestine, and the challenges of prisoner swap arrangements.

Suppose you have an equation of the form $Ax=f(x)$, where $A$ is a $n \times n$ matrix, $x$ is a vector of length $n$ and $f(\cdot)$ is some function. Is there a name for this sort of problem?
If $f$ is assumed to be small in some sense, a common choice is semilinear equation.
and to be sure: the notion of "nonlinear eigenvalue problem" is usually used for equations of the form $A(u)=\lambda u$, where $A$ is a nonlinear operator (or a nonlinear mapping from $R^n$ to $R^n$, if you wish).
Do you have any examples in mind? As it stands it is essentially a system of $n$ simultaneous equations in $n$ variables. That term would (as commented above) usually suggest a system $$g_i(x)=0 \text{ for } 1 \le i \le n.$$ But that is easily obtained by setting $A$ to be the zero matrix.
If that is too degenerate then we can use your formulation with $A$ your favorite matrix and $f(x)$ returning the vector whose $i$th component is $g_i(x)+(Ax)_i.$
So some restriction is needed to get an interesting question.
This does not answer the question as stated, but your specific question (assuming the inverse is coordinate-wise) can be stated as
$\min_i \min x_i,$ subject to the system of constraints
$x_i <A_i, x> = 1.$
If you remove one level of $\min,$ you are trying to minimize the function (wlog) $x_1$ over the set defined by the constraints, which reduces to a lagrange multiplier problem:
$1 = \lambda_1 \langle A_1, x\rangle + \sum_{j=2}^n \lambda_j A_{j1} x_j.$
and for $k=2, \dotsc, n$
$0 = \lambda_1 x_1 A_{1k} + \lambda_k \langle A_k, x\rangle + \sum_{j=2, j \neq k}^n A_{jk} x_1.$
Unless there is some trick to reduce this system (quite possible, I don't really want to think too hard about it), this is a general system of quadratic equations, which is ETR hard (that is, about as hard as any computational problem), so in that sense, @Quiochu's comment is very a propos.

Which word is a better fit in the following sentence?

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
irreparable (OED: "Too far decayed to be repaired; past repair.") describes the level of damage something has sustained. It is damaged so extensively that it cannot be repaired in any way. A car could be irreparable.
irrecoverable (OED: "That cannot be recovered or got back: chiefly in reference to things lost.")describes loss, specifically the ability to revert to a previous state. Data on a hard-drive may be irrecoverable if it has been written over, but there is no sense of damage.
Irreparable and irrecoverable are not synonyms.
If the previously mentioned hard-drive has endured a fire and suffered irreparable damage, the data it contained is very likely irrecoverable, but note that irreparable describes the state of the hard-drive, while irrecoverable describes the state of the information.
M-W.com says this:
So they appear to be synonymous. Perhaps you can think of the difference in these two words this way:
I would use irreparable in your example sentence: Some of the environmental changes may produce irreparable damage to the earth's capacity to sustain life because the adjective modifies damage: once the damage is done, it cannot be undone. The earth's capacity to sustain life will be diminished, and that lost capacity cannot be recovered.

Recycled Pallet Chevron Coffee table and end table
I am a 31 year old single woman who loves DIY. I recently decided to replace my deck. I had so much old wood left over after I was done that I wanted to try using it in creative way. So I picked up a Ryobi Compound Miter Saw and started to work. I realized I need smaller pieces of wood but did not want to spend anymore money. So I started picking up pallets that were being given away and.... here is my creation. Was so easy and absolutely love it!
