Small Acts, Big Love
People Who Put Their Mates' Needs First Make Themselves Happier Too
Chris Kline doesn't like to tell his wife of 17 years, Tara, that he loves her. He prefers to show her—by loading her favorite songs on her phone and warming up her car on cold mornings. While she was away on business recently, he surprised her by painting her home office in her favorite colors, Mardi Gras purple and gold.
"Saying 'I love you' is just words," says Mr. Kline, a 42-year-old engineer from Shoemakersville, Pa. "I like to do things that require effort, planning and a little bit of sacrifice. It shows you are putting the other person first."
Researchers call this "compassionate love"—recognizing a partner's needs and concerns and putting them ahead of your own. "It's not just making people feel good," says Harry T. Reis, a University of Rochester professor of psychology. "It's a way of communicating to the other person that you understand what they are all about and that you appreciate and care for them."
Since 2009, Dr. Reis has been studying 175 newlywed couples from around the U.S., asking how they show their spouses compassion. His findings, not yet published, indicate that people who discover ways to regularly show their spouses this kind of love are happier in their marriages.
Small selfless acts between spouses aren't just nice—they also are necessary, experts say. When acts of kindness and caregiving disappear, it is an indication the relationship needs help. And when you are compassionate to your partner, it increases your own happiness at least as much as the other person's.
Dr. Reis says men in the study were more likely than women to report putting their partner's goals ahead of their own, by a margin of about 15 percentage points. Men were more likely to report modifying their plans for their partner's sake. Dr. Reis says the men, as newlyweds, may have been consciously trying to be supportive of their wives. And certainly men often seem more comfortable showing love through actions than words.
Showing a little compassion shouldn't be so hard. Yet in many relationships, people forget that one small loving gesture—or many—can go a long way. We get busy and stressed. We take each other for granted. It isn't easy to stifle our own agenda and put our partner's first.
"This stuff sounds really touchy-feely," says Dr. Reis. "But the good news is you don't have to talk about stuff with your partner. You could give a massage or pick up dinner."
It's important not to expect payback, other than a thank you. You're not supposed to trumpet what you are doing, Dr. Reis says. "The 'I'll take your needs into account if you take my needs into account' path to relationship improvement is guaranteed to fail," he says.
10 Marriage Sweeteners
Harry T. Reis, a professor of psychology at the University of Rochester, has identified 10 ways couples can show 'compassionate' love to improve a relationship
- Put your partner's goals first. Giving your husband the last cupcake is easy. Spending your vacation—again—with his family is hard.
- Try to understand your partner's thoughts and feelings. Not sure what's going on? Ask.
- Accept, don't judge. Don't like your spouse's relatives, or his taste in clothes or TV shows? Zip it.
- Be open to your partner's requests. Everyone is busy. If your spouse asks for something, assume it's important.
- Modify your plans for your spouse's sake. Does she need a night off from parenting, or a few hours to finish a work project? Accommodate and earn relationship goodwill.
- Do something special for your partner. Flowers are nice, but so is making the bed or giving a massage.
- Express tenderness and caring. Not everyone likes public displays of affection. But you can make a nice cup of tea.
- Go out of your way to 'be there.' Pay attention when your partner seems particularly stressed and try to help.
- Show respect and admiration. Celebrate successes, even little ones. Did your spouse handle a touchy situation well, or make you laugh? Point it out.
- Show you value your partner. Two words: Thank you.
When I asked people what they do to show love to a partner, the examples poured in. I heard of men who peeled oranges and cleaned windshields for their wives, and women who brought home their husband's favorite dark chocolate-covered cashews. Bill Kalmar, 69, a retired director of a state quality council from Orion, Mich., carries his wife's bag from the gym and warms up her side of the bed on cold winter nights. Mary Westheimer, 57 and a business manager for her sculptor husband in Phoenix, says they compete to see who can "spoil" the other more. "He will empty the dishwasher and not say anything to me, and I will get him back and take out the garbage," she says.
Ms. Kennedy-Kline, 42, is a self-described "snuggler" who says "I love you" a lot. In the couple's first years of marriage, they entered a bad cycle. Mr. Kline felt unloved when, after work, he came home and found the trash cans sitting at the end of the driveway and dishes in the sink. "If you love me, why can't you do this?" he would ask.
The more he criticized, the less she stepped up, she says. Mr. Kline, feeling ignored, stopped telling her he loved her. "We each felt we weren't getting what we wanted from the other," says Ms. Kennedy-Kline, a parenting coach and author.
The couple ended the cycle by accident. Once, to calm down after an argument, Ms. Kennedy-Kline started tackling chores, and soon noticed it had a soothing effect on her husband. He started to cuddle up in bed and rub her back when he walked by.
She tried an experiment. She sat her husband and their two sons down at the table and asked each one how he preferred to have love shown to him—and wrote down their answers. The Klein's son, Max, now 14, said he wanted to be complimented, told when he'd done a good job and hugged. Their younger son, Alex, now 12, said he would like to spend time with his parents and be tucked into bed at night. Ms. Kline explained that she likes to be hugged and to be told that she is loved. Her husband's answer? "Just do stuff," he said. "It was important to see that the way we can show love isn't the way we want it back," Ms. Kennedy-Kline says.
Now, Mr. Kline tries to be more verbally and physically affectionate. "When I say those words to her, it does mean something to her," he says. And when she cleans out the dog kennel and takes out the trash. She and her husband "both understand the language now, so we get it," she says. "Thank goodness the dog knows his car," she adds. When her husband comes down the driveway, "I will stop whatever I am doing and go start sorting laundry."

I loved Tom Jones, every bit of it, but I was reading it at the same time as my husband, to whom I was newly married. He had to read it while at St. John's College. I think that was the motivation I needed to continue with the book. Because we were talking about it daily, I think it was easier to enjoy.
Greetings, vagansmom, it's good to hear from you. It's true, sometimes circumstances, especially romantic ones , help. My attempts with Tom Jones took place outside an academic context, and maybe it would have helped if I had been forced to read it through to the end.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Tarran Senay hit a three-run homer in the eighth and a two-run single in the ninth that helped North Carolina State rally to beat Vanderbilt 9-7 for the Raleigh Regional championship Monday night.
Senay's second hit brought in the go-ahead run as the top-seeded Wolfpack (43-18) rallied from a 7-3 deficit to reach the super regionals for the first time since 2008.
N.C. State reliever Ryan Wilkins (5-2) earned the win by holding Vanderbilt to three hits in 4 2-3 scoreless innings.
It was a reversal from the first two meetings between the teams in the regional. Vanderbilt rallied from a five-run deficit for a 9-8 win on a walk-off single Saturday, then rallied from a 5-1 deficit in Sunday's game before falling 6-5.
N.C. State will face No. 1 national seed Florida in the super regionals.
Connor Castellano drove in three runs for the second-seeded Commodores (35-28).

My game is stuck becasue of this message.
I had to name a team with 20 players for a friendly. Before playing it, I now have to delect a squad of 23 for the European Fotball Championship.
When I go into the team, there is only space for 9 reserves, so I cannot add the extra players I need. So when I click "Conform Squad" it tells me I need to select a squad of 23.
I am not sure if it is Mac Specific, but it is on an iPad

The power of being well-informed
Im starting with a long list of names but I need to in order to make my point. So, suppose you had encountered a new book on the Catholic Church by Michael Lacey or Francis Oakley or Joe Komonchak or Frank Sullivan or John Beal? What if it had been written by Gerard Mannion or Lisa Cahill or Cathy Kaveny or Charles Taylor? And how about Leslie Woodcock Tentler or Katarina Schuth? Or another sociological study by the indefatigable team of Bill DAntonio, Jim Davidson, the late lamented Dean Hoge and Mary Gauthier? Wouldnt you be excited to read what the book had to say? Well, the bad news is that none of these folks has just published a new book, though I am sure some are impending, but the good news is that they are all featured in the 2011 Oxford University Press collection, The Crisis of Authority in Catholic Modernity, edited by Lacey and Oakley.When I look at this collection and the truly formidable array of scholars who are its contributors I am inevitably reminded of the Yale conference back in 2003 that led to the outstanding book, Governance, Accountability and the Future of the Catholic Church (Continuum, 2003). The conference opened with an address by the then Archbishop Wuerl of Pittsburgh on the roots of Catholicism, more notable for its piety than for its willingness to grapple with the findings of scholarship. After a polite but distinctly challenging response from Peter Steinfels there came an array of distinguished scholars, many of them also included in this present 2011 volume, simply laying out the facts about the nature of governance and authority. Their conclusions contradicted those of the archbishop, who sadly had been unable to stay to hear what they had to say.
What makes the connection for me, besides the considerable overlap between the two lists of contributors, is the polite but firm challenge to ecclesial assumptions about the exercise of authority in the Church, in the context of our currently serious disconnect between magisterial authority and Catholic rank and file over a whole host of issues. Michael Lacey lays down the gauntlet in the introduction to The Crisis of Authority when he identifies the chief characteristic of Catholic modernity as a quiet insistence upon thinking for oneself. In this kind of modern Catholic world, Lacey adds, effective leadership is more difficult than it used to be: Rome speaks, but the arguments continue. Indeed, if there is one persistent note throughout this collection it is that the primacy of thinking for oneself is simply beyond dispute, not worth wasting any ink defending, a sine qua non for responsible Christian discipleship as of course it surely is for any kind of scholarship, theological or otherwise.If there is little doubt that the scholarly Catholic world is methodologically indistinguishable from that of secular scholarship, and all the better for it, the same cannot be said for the transfer of this message of freedom to the Catholic rank and file. Many of them dissent from this or that teaching, or are simply confused or even angry about one thing or another, but their access to the breath of fresh air that comes from knowing the facts is by no means so easy. Most will not read books like either of the two I mention here, and the chances of hearing preaching that is informed by this kind of scholarship are not good. However, the arguments of the authors in these admittedly specialized texts are just the kinds of things that thoughtful Catholics need in order for their legitimate wish to think for themselves to be seen to be compatible with continuity in the faith-community, if not indeed essential to its survival with any kind of credibility. Ah, the inestimable power of being well-informed!

Ah, the inestimable power of being well-informed!
I imagine most of the saints were nowhere near as well informed. Hmm.
Unlike centuries past, today we have the communications and perhaps the education to make being informed possible. When it is possible, it becomes mandatory for anyone who wants to put their whole selves, heart and head, into the act of faith. Or so it seems to me. Saints, I agree, may not always have been well-informed but my guess is that they were always thinking people.
To me, that's the important thing - being aware and alive, physically and mentally. Working towards wisdom. Knowledge itself is only mental baggage. One scientist is not worth two street sweepers.
As good as Oakleys scholarship is (and its excellent), I speak from experience (and for generations of Williams alumni), that his teaching is even better. His courses on the Reformation and on Western Political Thought deepened the way I see the world. He is the rare blend of excellent scholar, excellent administrator, and excellent teacher.If Oakleys scholarship and teaching and commitment to the academy is the standard, then we have set ourselves a very high and very worthy goal.
Knowledge itself is only mental baggage. One scientist is not worth two street sweepers.David Smith,So you are advocating anti-intellectualism? How little knowledge do you consider optimal? Is perhaps none at all best?
I should be among the last to raise this issue, since my entire career has been in publishing in the areas of professional books and college textbooks, but $99 (discounted to $84.69) is a lot to pay for a hardcover of less than 400 pages, and $35.00 (discounted to $30.62) is a lot to pay for a paperback. I probably could explain the reasons why books like this are so expensive better than most people, but that doesn't stop me from complaining when it's something I personally would like to buy.
Lacey and Oakley is 30 bucks in paperback at Amazon. Free shipping!
Amazon only has 8 copies of Lacey and Oakley left now. I bet Prof. Lakeland's commendation will empty the shelves, despite the price. Who could resist advice from the author of "The Liberation of the Laity"?
There are now only 6 left at Amazon. I just bought one, and so did someone else since Susan Gannon's posting. I have great respect for Oakley and the others listed here. I haven't seen it, of course, but I wouldn't be surprised were it a tad too academic for the general reader. If Prof. Lakeland is right, and most Catholic will not read books like those listed here, nor will their ideas inform preaching, perhaps someone should think about how such ideas should be made more available to general public. They're not likely to be aired in the diocesan press, for instance.And I suspect (without knowing it) that many people who would take an interest in such ideas, and be helpful in bringing on broader discussions of them, have already walked out of the church. Not just because of the sex scandal, but because there is little encouragement within the church to talk about ideas of this (or perhaps any) sort Anti-intellectualism is not just an American failing, after all, and the church's leadership has reflected it for centuries. As I've suggested before, I think the narrowness of clerical education (at least among those who make it to the top) appears to be one of culprits.
David N and others: always check addall.com before falling for Amazon. In this particular case:http://www.addall.com/New/submitNew.cgi?query=the+crisis+of+authority+in...
I know the book is not cheap, but it's only two pizzas, or three if you are unwise enough to buy at Domino's. Anyway, there's a lot to talk about in this book, so maybe I'll post again on it in a few weeks and we can see where everyone is. So to those who skipped the pizza and bought the book, happy reading!
David (7/13 7:33 pm):
Knowledge itself is only mental baggage. One scientist is not worth two street sweepers.David Smith,So you are advocating anti-intellectualism? How little knowledge do you consider optimal? Is perhaps none at all best?
1) Not at all, David. 2) Everyone's different. 3) In a sense, I suppose, but that's not practical for most people, especially in complex modern societies. We're all intellectual hoarders to some degree - probably more of us now than in the past and to a greater degree. The human mind thrives on thinking.Someone pointed me the other day to a small, superficial article in Mother Jones about cats. There were nearly seven hundred responses in the comment trail. People love to talk. It's only natural that some are given to thinking a lot more before talking than others, but we're all absolutely certain that we have a great deal of important stuff to say.I think it's good, from time to time, to reflect on the ephemeralness of knowledge.
Paul Lakeland,I live alone, and I am on a diet, so I would never buy two pizzas. I did order the book, though. I do wonder, though, if it might not be to the advantage of publishers to offer books like these in electronic format at a significantly reduced price. I assume the only buyers $99 hardcovers are institutions. Are there really individuals who would pay $99 to have a hardcover when they can get a paperback for $35? Such high prices assume a smallish market, and I wonder if at least part of the reason for the smallish market isn't the price? In any case, unlike David Smith, I believe in knowledge, so I ordered the book. Is there going to be a book-club-like discussion?
David, let's leave it a couple of weeks because such an expensive book needs to be savored (unlike most pizzas) before offering opinions on it. And then I'll blog on it again and we can see where it goes from there.

A friend of mine recently soaked his Tallis Katan in water and Tide (regular, non-bleach) detergent for a while, and after he took it out, the tzitzis strings (which were of the expensive hand-made "Menupatz Lishma" variety) simply crumbled in his hands. Has anybody out there experienced anything similar, or can someone offer an explanation as to what went wrong?

I am not a chemist but with the information I do have this could be why your friend's tzitzis crumbled:
If you look at the ingredients of Tide and other similar laundry detegents you will find both surfactants and enzymes. Surfactants decrease the surface tension of the material as well as the surface tension between oil and water. The enzymes, such as protease, speed up chemical reactions.
If you soak wool in a high enough concentration of detergent for a long enough period of time, it could very well allow the surfactants to remove the lanolin (natural occurring oil in wool) and reduce the surface tension of the wool itself enough to allow the enzymes, such as protease to break down the wool itself (which is a protein). The result is that when he removed them from the soaking mixture, the tzitzis simply crumbled.
If it was a cotton beged then it is easy to understand why the beged did not disintegrate. The detergent is not formulated with chemicals that are as harmful to cotton. If the beged was made from wool as well, it could be that the weave and the tighter winding of the woven threads protected the wool from absorbing the detergent. The tzitzis are made from four thicker, not so tightly wound strings that are then wound together, doubled, and wound together again (kaful shemonah). They will absorb and disintegrate much faster than the wool of the beged.
If one must wash wool it is always better to use a wool detergent such as Woolite in order to avoid such mishaps.
There you have it, and if your friend does not like it you can just tell him "Sorry! That is just the way the tzitza crumbles!"
The best I can offer as an explanation to what went wrong, is some kind of chemical reaction. At some point the tzitzit must have come in contact with some sort of chemical agent that either was activated by the water and/or soap, or reacted to it violently. Disintegration of a natural fiber takes a pretty strong chemical agent to accomplish. Did your friend ever have any kind of skin reaction to them from handling them and such?

Carmi police officers arrested three male juveniles late last week after they were allegedly involved in a series of crimes Tuesday night.
A police department incident report said the boys were aged 14, 15 and 16 and face preliminary charges of five counts of criminal damage to property, one count of burglary and one misdemeanor and one felony count of theft.
The report said one of the items stolen was a dirt bike and an officer received a tip Thursday night the bike was parked on a local parking lot at an apartment building. A subsequent investigation led to the bike's recovery and the arrests of the teens.
The victims were listed as: City of Carmi, BB shot through pickup window; Stein's Flowers, BB shot through back door window; Natalla Bradshaw of Carmi, BB shot through vehicle window; John Smith of Eldorado, window broken out of pickup, items stolen from inside pickup; Jordan Prater of Carmi, stolen dirt bike; Billy Newman of Carmi, stolen dirt bike.

What's the difference between sixteenth century counterpoint and eighteenth century counterpoint? Is sixteenth century counterpoint melody or modal based (as this answer suggests) and eighteenth century counterpoint harmony based? If so, what would be the difference? I want to start studying counterpoint and want to know these basic facts to see where to look at.
Simply put the difference between how counterpoint was employed in the 16th vs. 18th century may be best illustrated by comparing the music of the most outstanding practitioners of each period, namely Giovanni Palestrina and J. S. Bach.
You are on the right track in thinking that "sixteenth century counterpoint melody or modal based (as this answer suggests) and eighteenth century counterpoint harmony based."
Music composition students will generally take a semester of Species Counterpoint which covers the 16th century practice and then take Counterpoint which covers the 18th century the next semester.
One of the key differences is how Bach was able to employ harmonic counterpoint to evolve the canon into the fugue.
Another way to look at this might be to use cinema as an analogy. If I were making a modal film I would might be only showing you things in monochrome, while in a tonal film I would have everything in color, or a modal film may have all objects of the same proportions while a tonal film would have objects of varying proportions which create a harmonic or balance of proportions.
UPDATE: I was requested in the comments to add more technical details:
1) Modulation: when the music moves from one tonal center to another. This is found in harmony not modal.
2) Contrary motion: when melodic lines move in opposing directions, this may be found in both.
3) Form: compositional forms of the 16th century included masses, offertories, madrigal, motet, hymns, magnificats, litanies. While 18th century harmony had these forms: preludes, fugues, toccatas, inventions, variations, concertos, dance suites, and sinfonias to name a few.
This is not a complete list so it is advised that you do some homework and read up on each of the terms listed above.
Much of the difference lay in the "rules" of how counterpoint could be used in each period; for example, the approach to using dissonance. In earlier counterpoint, dissonance had to be approached step-wise, couldn't occur on a "strong" beat e.g., a downbeat, etc. As things progressed, many of these sorts of strictures loosened and the various techniques of counterpoint started being used in much "freer" ways.
Now, when I say "rules" or "had to be used" and things like that, obviously this is a pedagogical thing; teachers would pass rules on to students. It's not like if you used a third leap to a tritone your song would break, or something, but all the learned heads of academic and church music would SAY your song was broken and ban you from writing music ever again or something. ;-)

The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz announced during a speech at an inter-Arab forum in Kuwait today that Saudi Arabia will donate $1 billion for reconstruction in the Gaza Strip.
King Abdullah is leading the Saudi delegation to the Arab Economic, Developmental and Social Summit, which began in Kuwait today.
The theme of the two-day summit is "Solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza."
Aside from the crisis in Gaza, the delegates have been discussing strategies for boosting Arab economic and social integration.
Leaders from 22 Arab countries are attending the summit, which was called for by Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Sabah of Kuwait and President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt during the 2007 Arab Summit in Riyadh.
During today's opening session, King Abdullah stressed the importance of aiding Palestinians in Gaza and preventing further violence.
Condemning the "bloody, painful and brutal" attacks on Gaza carried out over the past couple of weeks, the King warned, "Israel must realize that the choice between peace and war will not be available all the time, and that the Arab Initiative on the table today will not be on the table for ever."
Castigating Israel for its policy of collective punishment, the King noted, "The Torah said 'an eye for an eye'; the Torah did not say 'an eye for the eyes of a whole town.'"
However, said King Abdullah, "Honesty entails that we say to our brothers in Palestine that their division is more dangerous to their cause than the Israeli aggression."
King Abdullah called for Arab unity. "I plead with you to overcome our wounds and divisions," he said, "and to take up a dignified position which history will not forget and of which our nation will be proud."
In closing, the King announced that Saudi Arabia will donate $1 billion for reconstruction in Gaza.
During the session, speeches were also delivered by Sheikh al-Sabah, Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Secretary General of the Arab League Amr Mousa, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Senegalese President Abdullah Wad.

A guide set my Canon 5D Mark ll to require 2 clicks before the shutter releases so it wouldn't shake while shutter open. How do I get it back to 1 click?
To me this sounds like the Mirror Lockup custom function setting. When using a tripod this is useful as it first locks up the mirror to avoid the shake from that as the picture is taken, allowing the camera to be as still as physically possible when the second click opens the shutter (assuming you use a cable release).
This can be turned off in the menu under Custom Functions (the 10th tab along in the menu, or 3nd from the right) with this particular option in the third menu down called Autofocus/Drive, and on the 5d mkII it is labelled C.Fn III -6 as you scroll along in this custom functions menu. It will mention Mirror Lockup by the numbering, and you will want to change this to Disable.
If you would like some brief explanations of what all the custom functions do on your camera have a look at the Canon site here

Leela James may be a fresh-faced, young soul singer, but as she belts out on a track from her third album, "[Leela] Ain't New To This." On July 31, the Los Angeles-born powerhouse is releasing her fourth studio album, "Loving You More...In the Spirit of Etta James," a soulful tribute to the legendary singer who passed away in January. With remakes of Etta's classics like "I'd Rather Go Blind," and "At Last," Leela is aiming to introduce Etta's music to a new generation of listeners.
EBONY.com caught up with the doe-eyed songstress to talk her new album, the male-dominated music business, and how she stays true to her soul.
EBONY: When did you realize you had a gift for singing?
LEELA JAMES: Well, I was always singing in church as a child, but I don't think it was until I was a little older and in high school that I realized that I was a little more than average. That's also about the time I started performing and doing showcases and talent shows and being recognized.
EBONY: Did you also decide at that time that you would pursue music as a career?
LJ: Even before I had a record deal, I had a [college] degree. I never put all my eggs in one basket. But music was always one career I knew I could count on, [though] I was interested in going to law school and being an entertainment attorney. I worked in estate planning for a while and I tried out working in [entertainment law] and that was a little more exciting than estate planning, but ultimately, singing is definitely my dream job.
EBONY: And now, after you've sung with John Legend in South Africa, opened for the Black Eyed Peas, toured Japan and recorded a posthumous duet with Ray Charles, you're on to your fourth studio album. What has this journey in the music industry been like for you?
LJ: South Africa was absolutely amazing. I really fell in love with the country and the people and to be able to perform there for them was just icing on the cake. It's been a great journey and it's not over yet. You know, in a business that's male-dominated and driven by image, it's easy to get caught up and go with what's trendy, but that's why I respect Etta James so much [and dedicated my latest album to her legacy] because she remained true to herself to the end and was focused on just being a true singer.
You just feel so much of her soul when you hear her sing and that's the same kind of energy I put into my singing -- something that kind of cuts through you and you just feel it.

EBONY: You've also been able to maintain your own style throughout your career. How did you avoid getting "caught up" in the male-dominated, image-driven industry?
LJ: When I first came out, I had a lot of pressure, and my first label [Warner Music] didn't really know what to do with me as a soul singer, but it's not like that so much anymore. People are settling into who I am and how I sing and look, it's my personal discretion. I'm not pressured, I don't feel any pressure to do anything I don't want to do. And I would just say that comes from my love of music and that I was raised in a supportive family that instilled in me at a young age to be myself. I've never been the one to fit into someone else's idea of who I should be.
I was raised hearing blues, funk, soul, gospel – music you can feel -- and I'm comfortable in my own skin and I'm definitely comfortable making music I can feel. I know if I can feel it, somebody else can, too. So I just focus on making that kind of music. And when you have that confidence in your voice, people have no choice but to accept it.
EBONY: Not only did you adopt the surname "James" because of the iconic singer, you've also recently changed the title of your album to "Loving You More – In the Spirit of Etta James." What is it about Etta James that inspired you to channel her spirit on your latest album?
LJ: I just feel like she was such an incredible artist and her legacy should be kept alive. She was just a raw, raw, singer. I just admire so much her rawness and her sincerity and the fact that she -- from what I understand of her -- she didn't take a whole lot of stuff off of anybody. You just feel so much of her soul when you hear her sing and that's the same kind of energy I put into my singing -- something that kind of cuts through you and you just feel it. I just really connected with that spirit. It's rare that you have an artist like that.
[With this album,] I just want to introduce her music to a new generation of

I am relatively new to SP development; I am trying to do the following in SP 2010: I have a list field containing e-mail addresses separated by semicolons. I would like to insert a newline character after every third address or so to improve the appearance of the field content in the list.
I did a little bit of research and I came across SP events but it looks like I should really only be using them for validation and if I want to modify data. The most likely solution I found is XSLT formatting; but I would dread to have to find a way to implement that logic in XSLT, is there a better way to go about this?
Many thanks

My goal is to use these images in conjunction with the 3D software I use in my profession to creating HDR images for lighting.
Thank you so much for your response and help!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mack from I like wearing Rock Port shoes. I like wearing rock port shoes because they are comfortable and have the right arch support for my feet. I have worn rock port shoes for about 5 years and they do my feet very good. I would like to have another pair of rock port penny lofers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by grey from Excellent Shoes Rockport Oak Knoll Shakespeare Circle Casual Shoes. Years ago while in the U.S.A . I purchased a pair size 11 wide fitting in Burgundy and they were the best shoes that I have ever owned. Unfortunately here in England you cannot buy them unless you buy them direct from America. That involves the exchange rate and import duties so it becomes very expensive.They are good quality and should be recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike from Buy the shoe Have worn Rockport's for >15 years. Have wide high instep and found Rockports Wide to fit the best. Hate trying on shoes but I can order Rock's on line and know they are going to fit great the first time I try them on. Previous job did a lot of travel to Japan where you are in/out of your shoes all day long - quality, style, durability and great fit of Rockport loafers fit my needs exactly.

That was all of the stock. I also like the shoe that is the Shakespeare with the tassel but can never seem to find them in stock in my size.

He is a wholesale lumber salesman and walks lumber yards everyday and the soles of these shoes are so durable and comfortable. He said they are the best we have ever bought. Highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Burt from very good I have worn this style for over 15 years, there was a period a couple of years ago when I'm guessing that you changed how the shoes were made and they were terrible. Now your back to the original configuration and its great, could use additional arch support.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Shep77 from Not for me Though they looked great they did not feel great. Leather felt stiff and shoe felt heavy. The side edges of the shoe hit bony prominences of my foot with each step so I could not wait to get them off. I still love Rockport--just not this pair!

The weather should be perfect for the 33rd Annual Medical Center 10k Classic tomorrow morning and the town is gearing up for the big event!
"It's an opportunity to stress the importance of wellness and exercise," says Joe Tinius, Co-Director for The Medical Center 10k Classic.
While several hundred locals are gearing up for the Classic, some traveled hundreds of miles to participate.
"I came back when I first turned 40, and won the Master's Division for the last three years in a row," Chad Newton of North Carolina says.
Newton traveled more than 300 miles, and is looking to take home another first place title in the 40 and over division for the fourth year in a row.
"Every year it gets a little harder because there is always a new 40-year-old, and I get a year older so we'll see what happens but every year I'm surprised that I still won it again," Newton says.
And Chad isn't the only person occupying the hotels this weekend, Tinius says several runners are from out of town.
"It also brings in some individuals from outside of the area, so it's good for the community in regard to our hotels and other businesses in town for those who come in for the event."
2500 people locally and from out of town will be racing tomorrow.
Tinius says it's important to arrive early because there may be heavy traffic.
"Allow a little extra time to make sure that you can get here and get parked in one of the structures, and get to that starting line one time," he says.
And road closures may play another factor in your drive time tomorrow morning, whether you're participating in the 10k or not.
"Beginning at 6:00 in the morning there will be several street closures in the downtown area of Bowling Green. You can expect most of the streets to be back open around 10:00. However, some will remain closed until 11:00," says Officer Ronnie Ward with Bowling Green Police.
WKU Police and BGPD will both be blockading the roads from University Blvd and 3rd Ave, and everything in between.

New inFamous: Second Son developer diary explores the beauty in the detailsWritten by: / / 5 Comments
The new generation of consoles not only raises the resolution of games but also allows developers to add the kind of details which were impossible ten years ago. Leading the way in this regard is the upcoming PS4 exclusive inFamous: Second Son which features arguably the most realistic rendition of a real-life city (Seattle) in videogame history.
Sony recently released a new developer diary which explores how Sucker Punch's art and technical teams leveraged the power of the PS4 to bring Seattle to life. The studio even went as far as licensing real Seattle-based businesses to lend further credibility to the game's open-world playground. Take a look below:
inFamous: Second Son is due out on March 21st worldwide. Head over here for El33tonline's previous coverage of this spectacular open-world action title, which includes Oliver's preview from E3 2013 and my preview from gamescom 2013.

6 Terrifying Experiments Parents Did on Their Own Kids
Given all the complaining people do about animal experimentation these days, it's easy to forget that up until fairly recently, scientific experimentation on humans was considered perfectly acceptable. While most of our scientific forefathers stuck to experimenting on random poor people like any respectable person would, others took it a step further and said, "Well, this baby in my house is already crying a lot anyway ..."
#6. The Psychologist Who Tests the Tickling Response on His Son While Dressed Up as a Nightmare
In 1933, psychologist Clarence Leuba wanted to figure out whether laughing when being tickled is an instinct we're born with or if we just learn it from watching other people do it. It seems like a fine plan, but that's when he took it to crazytown. See, he figured that the best opportunity to crack the tickle matrix was to experiment on his infant son. While wearing a terrifying mask.
In the interests of science, Leuba first banned all tickling in his household, allowing it only during special, experimental tickling periods. What's more, he explicitly banned his wife from ever laughing while she touched the kid so that he would never hear the sound of laughter and accidentally associate it with tickling. Because, you know, this question is totally important enough to sacrifice someone's childhood to answer it.
"Shut up, I'm tickling her right now! Look, she's not laughing. Shut the fuck up!"
Where It Gets Weirder:
But the most terrifying aspect of this experiment was the tickling itself. To make really sure his child would not be influenced by his facial expressions, Leuba wore a large, blank cardboard mask with only narrow eye slits, and in an effort to win the award for "creepiest child-parent interaction that doesn't involve any form of taxidermy," Leuba carefully conducted "controlled tickling" on various predetermined areas of his child's body, starting with the armpit.
Shockingly, the kid did start laughing (we sure as hell wouldn't have), but according to Leuba, the validity of the test had been ruined by his wife, who confessed one day that she had laughed while bouncing her son on her knee and saying "Bouncy, bouncy!" Exactly how Leuba reacted to this confession is not known, but we assume it had something to do with stabbing her while wearing a clown costume.
"Controlled experiment! Controlled fucking experiment!"
Nevertheless, Leuba realized how insane this whole thing was, and they all had a good laugh about it afterward. No, wait. Actually, Leuba just started the experiment over again with his second child.
#5. The Man Who Invented Vaccines by Giving His Son Smallpox
In the late 18th century, English physician Edward Jenner was trying to prove his new insane theory: that deliberately infecting people with a non-serious bovine disease called cowpox would give them immunity to smallpox, a disfiguring and potentially fatal disease that over the centuries has been known as "the red death," "the speckled monster" and "proof that nature hates us all."
We now know that Jenner was right -- he called it vaccination -- but at the time, his theory was based on the observation that people who worked with cows a lot didn't tend to get smallpox as often.
"So while we did violate the company dating policy, some good did come out of it."
Understandably, the scientific establishment wasn't convinced by this not-quite-ironclad research, so Jenner decided to do the obvious thing and deliberately infect his infant son, Edward Jr., with both diseases. The touching moment in science history when Jenner did this has for some reason been repeatedly captured in sculpture:
We think this might also be a Guns N' Roses album cover.
Where It Gets Weirder:
Inoculating people in those days wasn't as simple as a prick in the arm. What Jenner actually had to do was cut his son's arm open, take a pile of infected pus and shove it right in there, like stuffing the world's most horrifying Thanksgiving turkey.
Jenner didn't just cram diseased pus into his son, but did the same to several young boys in the neighborhood, just to be sure. Of course, if he'd been wrong and all those boys had contracted smallpox, Jenner probably wouldn't be known as a hero to the medical establishment, but would instead have some notorious serial killer name like "The London Pus Monster."
A nickname currently used only for Prince Charles.
The Royal Society apparently weighed out "This guy is cutting people open and putting in cow sickness" and "Hey, he tried it on his own son" and came down on Jenner's side. Although vaccination took a while to catch on fully, it eventually got big, to the extent that smallpox is now a hipster disease that no one's really heard of.
#4. The Guy Who Stung His Son With a Deadly Jellyfish (to See if It Was Deadly)
In 1964, an Australian marine toxicologist named Jack Barnes was investigating the jellyfish he thought might be responsible for producing "Irukandji syndrome," a collection of mysterious, hospitalizing symptoms that was popping up in some Australian swimmers.
Barnes eventually found a sample of the tiny jellyfish that he suspected might be to blame on a Queensland beach, but he needed to test that it was actually poisonous and not some pansy nonpoisonous jellyfish that wasn't worthy of its Australian status. So he tested the jellyfish's sting on three people: himself, a local lifeguard ... and his 9-year-old son, Nick.
"You're the one who said I should find more activities to do with him."
Where It Gets Weirder:
Irukandji syndrome has been described by its victims as a pain worse than childbirth, excruciating to the point where sufferers often beg to die. Nevertheless, Barnes apparently agreed to sting his son because the 9-year-old asked if he could try it. Presumably, he would also have hit his son in the face with a brick if the boy had decided to give that a try, too.
"Come on, Dad -- all the other kids are doing it!"
As should have been completely expected, everyone wound up in the hospital 20 minutes later, writhing in agonizing convulsions, because that is what Irukandji syndrome does. And as the brick house of a lifeguard was put down by the experience, the unsuspecting child didn't have much of a chance.
Luckily, all of the "test subjects" recovered just fine, but young Nick admitted later that he too had felt the desire to die during the ordeal. The experience was probably useful for bringing up later when his dad wouldn't loan him the car.

Buy Online & Pick Up In-Store
Michael Jordan ended his NBA career for the 2nd time after the 97-98 season and of course he had to leave in dramatic fashion. Breaking Kareem Abdul Jabar's NBA record for consecutive games in double figures, leading his team to another NBA title, and finals MVP, all while wearing his 13th signature sneaker.
Known for his panther-like reflexes on the court, his fellow NBA cohorts nicknamed him black cat. In an effort to influence the Air Jordan 13 Tinker Hatfield employed a unique hologram on the ankle of the shoe inspired by the panther. The Air Jordan Retro 13 features a full grain quilted leather upper along with a suede trip and hidden lacing system. A low-profile Pylon midsole with heel and forefoot Zoom Air units adds cushion, a midfoot carbon fiber composite plate offer padding and comfort. The outsole is solid rubber with herringbone pods and Optimal Motion pattern. The outsole pads resemble a paw and circles represent whiskers.

For the next two weeks WTVY will be profiling candidates in major local primary races.
In the republican Geneva County Sheriff race, incumbent Greg Ward is facing Wayland Danley.
They both say their experience is what makes them more qualified.
Ward got his start in law enforcement at 21 with the Montgomery Police Department, served as a deputy in Geneva County for nine years, the Hartford police chief for five years and as the Geneva County Sheriff since 1995.
Candidate Wayland Danley retired from the military, worked as a correctional officer in two states, spent two years as a patrol officer and was the Samson Police Chief for 8 years.
One of the major issues the Geneva County Sheriff will face is the ever changing Illegal drug market.
"We're going to change as they change, we're going to educate ourselves and we're going to keep the pressure on them. Every day, every day our goal is to purchase, or catch someone selling an illegal drug here in Geneva County," says Ward.
"You've got to notice what's going on in your community. Once you know, then you can do something about it and you've got to know what you're looking for then you can do a little bit about that community, then you got to go to the other one," says Danley.
Sheriff offices across the Wiregrass are dealing with smaller budgets while continuing to fight crime.
But these candidates say there are some things that must continue to be funded.
"They have got to have so many deputies to cover this county and you're going to have to pay those deputies pretty well to keep them there," says Danley.
"The law is simple. The jail has to be funded first," says Ward, "When it comes budget time the line will be drawn when I start to see the citizens aren't getting the protection they deserve."
Geneva County averages between 75 to 80 inmates in their 92 person capacity jail, but that number is expected to grow.
The two candidates have different ideas on how to ease overcrowding.
"It's not just my job to put you in jail, that's part of it, but you've got to think about this. While you're there I think it's my job to try to help them as well so that they don't come back," says Ward.
"We're either going to have to build more jails that'll hold more inmates or just put down some pallets on the floor, that's all I can say, or build a tent and put them in that if you have to," says Danley.
One thing they can agree on is the main priority of the Sheriff's Office.
"Protecting and serving the people. That is your main objective," says Danley.
"Your fundamental, fundamental duty is to serve mankind. That's the priority," says Ward.
The winner of the republican nomination will face democrat Ron Sanders in the November general election.
The candidates had a lot more to say than we could fit in a newscast.

New York Tabletop Market Celebrates 40 Years At Forty One Madison
Tuesday March 11th, 2014 - 3:19PM

Forty One Madison celebrates the 40th anniversary of The New York Tabletop Market, held April 22 through 26. The New York Merchandise Mart management founded the show, which has evolved to become the premier event for the tabletop category in North America, Forty One Madison asserted.
Since its inception, Forty One has become home to more than 95 flagship showrooms representing more than 125 global brands, several of which now market other home products that go beyond the table to include gifts, housewares, accent furnishings and lighting, it noted.
"As we enter the next decade and our first half-century, the stage is being set in the industry for bold moves and decisive actions," said Laurie Burns, senior vp, director Forty One Madison. "This spring's Tabletop Show is all about the product. Visitors will see new product introductions and U.S. market debuts like never before. Brands have spent their unequaled resources to innovate, and offerings are going to wow. From luxury to introductory prices, from formal to casual, and including lighting, gifts and traditional tabletop, you will see it all here in New York."
For this market, Christofle is making Forty One Madison its North American headquarters, with a new 6,000-square-foot showroom debuting in April on the sixth floor. Christofle is renowned for its world-class silvercraft — flatware, giftware, hollowware, serveware and accessories. The company is creating collections that expand into home décor and lifestyle, and a major introduction at April market is a furniture series designed by Marcel Wanders.
According to Nicolas Krafft, Christofle's president and CEO, "Forty One is a hub for luxury design brands and thus a natural fit to host Christofle's newest showroom– our only permanent wholesale showroom in the U.S. This location will make it easy for our customers to shop Christofle during market periods."
As previously reported in HomeWorld Business, Joseph Joseph also has opened a showroom, which can be found on the 15th floor in a 2,000-square-foot space which houses a showroom and company headquarters. Founded by brothers Richard and Antony Joseph in 2003, the Joseph Joseph team designs everyday household utensils for food preparation, service and cleanup.
New on the third floor is the Zak Designs showroom. The company's tableware, kitchen, serving and entertaining products occupy its 3,000-square-foot space. Zak is distinguished as a leading Disney Consumer Products partner, licensed to feature numerous characters and films.
Hankook Chinaware is opening its doors at Forty One Madison. This South Korean factory, known globally for its superior bone China production, will occupy a renovated 1,200-square-foot showroom on the 19th floor.
As for showroom moves: On the third floor, a newly remodeled space has been carved out for the portfolio of luxury brands represented by BIA Cordon Bleu, namely Philippe Deshoulieres, Royal Limoges, Mateus and CAPDECO. On the sixth floor, Fitz and Floyd also has moved into new quarters, with a comprehensive presentation of the tableware and giftware lines. The company has been part of the Forty One Madison community for 15 years, according to the show-throwing organization.

Don't be surprised if the town's supply of horse liniment is sold out this week. And why you might ask? Its that time of the year again when the St. John Tiger gals are reintroduced to the game of volleyball.
All this week, St. John-Hudson volleyball coach Trish Wade along with her assistant Sheila Witt are having summer volleyball camp at the school gym, and this year Wade has a rather large group of ladies out for the sport.
After being invited the day before, this reporter witnessed all sorts of stretching exercises by the Tigers this morning, and a few by the seniors that almost looked humanly impossible. But stretches are mandatory in this game, and well they should be. The gals are getting ready to play the Trish Wade style of volleyball - a fast-paced game of continuous movement, using all sorts of drills that reintroduce the girls to muscles they thought they didn't have. Standing still is a mortal sin in Trish ball, the girls either running, jumping, diving – you name it.
At least most of the girls have played some volleyball earlier in the summer and that helps. This isn't a parlor game like badminton, that's for sure.
For a more in depth view of the lady Tigers, be sure to read the upcoming article in August that introduces the players, what the season may hold for them and other things of interest.

text: You guys asked for it, so here it is. A cartoon style tutorial on "how to draw Hawkeye, or Jeremy Renner", step by step. Jeremy Renner is on his way to becoming a very noticeable actor. Despite the fact that he has played in a numerous amount of movies, he made his debut appearance in the film Senior Trip back in 1995. After that Jeremy Renner went onto doing other films like S.W.A.T, Hurt locker, The Town, Dahmer, 28 Weeks later, as well as others that I will not list at this time because it would take too long. Besides from staring as Hawkeye in The Avengers, you can also see him in the new Mission Impossible movie. Anyways I think I nailed it as far as turning Jeremy into a cartoon figure. He is becoming one of my favorite actors and I think it's because of his personality on screen. I hope you enjoy this version of drawing Hawkeye played by Jeremy Renner. I will return with some more fun loving lessons soon enough. Adios people and enjoy!

Suppose we have a person A and a person B.
Person B travels very close to speed of light and never returns. He's constant in speed. Then, we can say two things:
- B is younger than A.
- A is younger than B (since we can consider B's reference as inertial).
Who is correct between the two?

Noob question: when using the 64bit version of ubuntu (xubuntu in this case) and I install something through the software center, will it get the 64bit app for me?
Yes. Software Center, as well as Synaptic, poke around in your system and determine what you need, and get it for you, 64-bit or 32-bit.
It will get the 64 bit app(if its available) if you are using the 64 bit version of ubuntu
The software center is just a frontend for aptdaemon, which is a transaction based package management service. It behaves the same way as
By default, yes. But most apps is in 32-bit. The only 64-bit apps is drivers, kernels, and maybe some utilities software.
32-bit apps usually include a code to check for 64-bit OS, if detected, it'll automatically enable all 64-bit features, otherwise it'll stay as 32-bit (x86). This is because there are some computers which couldn't run (or don't have) 64-bit OS. As a software developer, it will be too cumbersome to provide 32-bit and 64-bit software separately, and 32-bit is universal, can be run on both 32-bit and 64-bit OS. So, for the moment, most software still use 32-bit, until 32-bit becomes obsolete.

Derogatory term for african person fresh off the boat. As in Kunta Kinte, used as a character in such movies as Roots and Coming to America.
Why would he do that? He must be a Kunta.
by RJL November 06, 2004
Trending Now
The stereotypical term pasted on to extremely intelligent college kids. A kunta: a.) Is lazy b.) Does better in life regardless of laziness c.) Rarely attends classes but d.) Still beats the curve. Being a Kunta elevates your social status to a near aristocracy. Everybody around envies how easily you handle life, thus turning the term "Kunta" to a derogatory term to everybody except the kunta him/herself. The following are artistic/intellectual attributes applicable to a kunta: 1.) Mean guitar skills 2.) Excessive knowledge of computers and their workings 3.) Unfathomable communication skills and 4.) Natural talent for any competitive activity in existence.
Dude, quit being such a Kunta... you're making me jealous.
by A fellow Kunta December 13, 2007
A name for a poor college student who usually bums off of his older roomnmates. A Kunta can often be found lazing around on a computer, or chatting in computer chat rooms. His rent is usually late and he often steps in dog shit.
Man your brother was being such a Kunta today. Let's kick him out of our house.

I've been drinking loose leaf teas for about 4 years and really enjoy the sense of contentment it brings to my busy life. I suppose tea is an experience you inherently have to slow down and enjoy, as it quiets the mind and allows you to hear more readily. I am also interested in Buddhism, yoga, meditation, and psychotherapy.
Here are some of my favorite teas:
Organic Silver Needle White Tea (Teavivre)
Bailin Gongfu Black Tea (Teavivre)
Buttered Rum (DavidsTea)

After more than 29 years of judicial service, Justice Wil Schroder has decided to resign from the Supreme Court of Kentucky.
Justice Schroder was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor, and says retiring will allow him to focus on his health and to spend more time with his family.
Chief Justice of Kentucky John D. Minton Jr. said, "I am very sorry to learn of the retirement of my colleague and dear friend Wil Schroder. Wil is highly ethical and is known for standing by his convictions. He brought a sharp intellect and meticulous approach to his work on the Supreme Court. He felt obligated every day to work hard on behalf of the people in his district and the state. The Supreme Court will not be the same without him."
Justice Schroder was elected to the Supreme Court of Kentucky in November 2006 to serve the 6th Supreme Court District.
The Judicial Nominating Commission will recommend a replacement who will be appointed by Governor Steve Beshear.

Signing Day Loses Its Voice
Paul Finebaum Won't Be on Air, but His Opinions on College Football Are as Loud as Ever
Usually, college-football signing day on Paul Finebaum's radio show is a red-letter day.
The first Wednesday in February—this year, Feb. 6—is the first moment that high-school recruits can sign binding letters of intent to play for their school of choice. It is when the sport's most obsessive followers find validation in their dissection of players' 40-yard dash times and hidden school loyalties—a day tailor-made for a show about college football. It is a day, in short, for Finebaum's people.
But this year is different. On Wednesday, fans (and haters) will find no Finebaum show on Birmingham, Ala.-based WJOX or on the Internet.
Finebaum has been off the air since Jan. 21, when his contract expired, and said he can't talk about his professional future for legal reasons. For the first time in more than 25 years, he will have no show on the biggest off-season day of the year, which he described as "different."
But Finebaum still has plenty of opinions about recruiting, college football and the secret to the success of two-time defending national champion Alabama, which is expected to land another standout class.
"Signing day's interesting because in many respects, recruiting helped lift sports-talk radio to the next level," Finebaum said. "It used to be that there was a show in New Orleans on a 50,000-watt station and a couple others around the country—Nashville had one with Bill King—and in the mid- to late-80s and early 90s, that's where recruiting junkies went for their fix. And then it went a little more mainstream in talk radio and then, obviously, the Internet."
For a long time, Finebaum resisted talking about recruiting on his show, he said. "Then I realized: This is what people want. It's like P.T. Barnum: Give the public what they're thirsting for."
The biggest recruiting story early this week was the Monday night commitment to Alabama of linebacker Reuben Foster—the No. 2 player in the nation, according to Scout.com, a recruiting website. That capped a nearly yearlong odyssey: Foster, who attends high school in Auburn, Ala., committed to Alabama, then changed to rival Auburn, got a massive forearm tattoo of the Auburn logo, then, finally, switched back to Alabama.
"I distinctly remember when he switched, when he got the tattoo, when he moved to Auburn (to attend high school)," Finebaum said. "I do think I can remember Alabama fans saying, 'Good riddance, goodbye. I hope you enjoy the rest of your life in Auburn, Ala.' My, oh my, on Monday night they seemed pretty happy to get him back."
Perhaps the Crimson Tide's boomerang success with Foster should come as no surprise to most of the college-football world, which has watched Alabama win three of the past four national championships.
"I talked to an Alabama assistant coach Sunday morning fairly early," Finebaum said. "I said, 'Where are you?' He said, 'Where do you think I am? I'm at work.' We were talking about coach (Nick) Saban, and he said, 'He is the hardest-working recruiter I've ever been around and it's no different today than it's been over the years.'"
Finebaum said Alabama even has a "situation room" dedicated to recruiting.
"No one is allowed in there other than key personnel," Finebaum said. "There's a board of every player for four years, their grade-point average, where they're leaning—any nuggets of information. There's not a day in the year, other than two weeks in the summer when coaches are off, when they don't go into that room and look at that board and talk recruiting." An Alabama spokesman confirmed there is such a room.
The surprise of the Southeastern Conference this year in terms of recruiting is Mississippi, a longtime also-ran that is flourishing under second-year coach Hugh Freeze. As of Tuesday night, Ole Miss ranked No. 12 on Scout.com's national recruiting rankings and was favored to land overall No. 1 recruit Robert Nkemdiche, a defensive end from Loganville, Ga., whose older brother, Denzel, is a Rebels linebacker.
Finebaum joked about Ole Miss's history of giant recruiting classes under ex-coach Houston Nutt, including 37 players in 2009. The SEC has since limited schools to 25 signees each year, with certain exceptions.
"But I'm impressed," Finebaum said, "because there's just no explanation how Ole Miss should be able to beat your normal SEC superpower." Finebaum offered one possibility: "I just think more and more players want to be able to say that they walked down the same street as William Faulkner."
Recruiting has long been an obsession in the South. Finebaum recalled the time more than two decades ago when college-basketball commentator Dick Vitale came on his show in March, just before the NCAA tournament.
A man from small-town Alabama called and asked Vitale, "Do you think Alabama's going to have a big recruiting year?'" Finebaum said. "[Vitale] said, 'What do you mean?' He said, 'You know, football.' Dick said, 'Are you kidding me?'"
Finebaum has been called to testify in the April 8 trial of Harvey Updyke, the Alabama fan accused of poisoning beloved oak trees on Auburn's campus. He had called Finebaum's show. But Finebaum said he can't talk about that either due to a judge's gag order. Updyke has pleaded not guilty by reason of disease or mental defect.
Given his current professional limbo, Finebaum said that trial might be "the next time the public hears me speak." Meanwhile, the college football-obsessed hordes will be without the man that one might consider the Oprah Winfrey of college football.
"I take that as an extreme compliment," Finebaum said. "Oprah is the most successful media person in media history, and I'm currently unemployed." Speaking of Louisiana State's quirky coach, he quipped, "Does that mean instead of Tom Cruise jumping up and down on my couch…is it Les Miles?"

I'm using Ubuntu with several users and I want to make folders viewable just for a specific user. Any idea how to do it?
Edit: On second thought, I realized that I may have misunderstood the question. If you want the directory to only be visible to a specific user (i.e. for every other user, that list doesn't even show up in the directory listing), you can't do that without prohibiting other users from listing the contents of the parent directory. So if the directory is
Old answer:
Make that specific user the owner of the directory and then remove all permissions on that directory for everyone but the owner. In the shell, you'd use
If you're using a filemanager, just remove all the checkmarks in the permissions-tab except the ones in the "User"-column (the exact details depend on the filemanager of course).
If you prefer to do this from the GUI, this is explained in the help for the GNOME file browser (known as Nautilus):
Basically, you just select the folder, and then from the menu choose File->Properties->Permissions.
Otherwise, sepp2k's answer is absolutely correct, and txwikinger's link is great if you're interested in an in-depth explanation of unix file permissions.
This tutorial explains in all details how to set file permissions in Linux (and therefore also in Ubuntu) such that you can control the access.

1) Traps should always be O/L/C (ORANGE/LIME/CRYAN). So you have shocked monsters for 3 seconds and you are stealing mana all the time. Lime helps to stop up to 100 monsters with grade gem 22. So imagine the mana gain with 100 monsters having there life, mana drained for 3 seconds and more. Traps should be placed where u can have 6 Ampliphiers placed around the trap. Only have ORANGE gems in them. For speed, mana boost and damage which is not nessessary.
2) One tower with L/Y (LIME/YELLOW) gem is fine with 8 amphliphiers. Do not have your gem to close to the beginning of the map so you lose out on mana. Have a single gem with no amphliphiers first if nessessary. Depends on the map. Single entrance maps are the best.
One trap. One tower is fine with the right setting to beat 1337 waves at around X6 to X30+ diffuclity settings with the premiunm version.
Upgrade the trap gem first as it will from 1st wave to 1337th wave kill 90% of all monsters in traps.
Press SHIFT + click the MANA EXTEND POOL so it AUTOMATCALLY extends everytime it fills. After 225 waves and if not monsters are getting past the traps go to sleep or go do something else. It will take around 1 hour to finish.
You can anger i don't see the point. Any level gem is fine you get the same results. So do around 30 if it helps the score which i don't think it does.
With what i said above sometimes my tower gem is grade 12 and my trap gem 19 and from here its auto piolet. However i do go from grade 12 to 25 on my tower gem as i have 2 much mana and i always remember the first few maps how badly i wanted more powerful gems.
With grade 19 gem in the trap. Upgraded with quite a few MANA ORANGE gems the mana pool extends every 2 seconds. This way at 1337 waves mana pool should be 144 million.
Good luck.
