There are 98 questions tagged with imagesource, but its use seems to be a complete mess.
After reading some initial responses and looking into actual posts further, it seems that two major groups consist of dealing with .NET's
System.Windows.Media.ImageSource class and, basically, any use of
src attriubute on
img tag in HTML/DOM. IMO, first use should be retagged to something like .net-imagesource, and second group should have this tag removed, because
src is not specific to
img and this tag basically serves no purposes in those questions.
What little posts remains should lose this tag too and, possibly, have more appropriate tags assigned to them.

How to host a Christmas market on the southern tip of Africa
The traditional Christmas market is said to have started in German-speaking Europe in the late 14th century. From there, markets have spread to the entire Christian world.
These festive events bring communities together at Christmas time to eat, drink and be merry. Oh, and to shop too, of course.
Markets are usually held in the town square and immediate surrounds, where residents and visitors sample local delicacies from open-air stalls while being entertained by traditional song and dance. There's also typically a ceremonial welcoming of the Christ child, played by one of the local children, on the first night of the market.
"The thing about European Christmas markets is they're so darned cold," says Caroline Smith, a South African who recently returned from a four-year work assignment in Belgium. "The atmosphere is always very festive and jolly, with sights, sounds, smells and tastes that will always transport me back to those times. But most of the wares at the market are designed to keep you warm more than anything else."
As a result, Smith says, she would visit the market for a couple of hours at most before the lure of a crackling log fire had her heading for the nearest homebound tram.
Not so the Cape Town Summer Market. Thanks to our location at the southern tip of Africa, Christmas time means summertime in the Mother City. In addition, our diversity has opened up the seasonal celebration to include people of all cultures and traditions, and it is in this spirit that this year's Cape Town Summer Market will be taking place.
The11-day family market will take place in the Company's Garden in the city centre, in celebration of South Africa's heritage and diverse people. The Company's Garden is an important historic landmark, originally established to provide fresh produce for the spice-trading ships of the Dutch East India Company. The garden is 360 years old and still contains a pear tree of the same age!
These days, it provides Capetonians with a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the central city. The Garden Tea Room is a popular lunch spot, and during the day park benches are often occupied by everyone from businessmen to schoolkids. You may even spot some of the local grub being enjoyed there – the famous Cape Town Gatsby, for instance – typically, an enormous bread roll stuffed with French fries, salad, and polony (a type of cold meat).
South Africans of all age groups and backgrounds, as well as tourists and other visitors, are welcome to join us at this exciting new market.
There will be plenty to see and do – the market will showcase some of Cape Town's finest craft-makers and entertainers, offer gourmet food and drink (including a beer garden), a picnic zone, and a lifestyle and eco tent.
More than 200 stalls will be set up along the length of Government Avenue, offering a mixture of street style and artisanal goods. And don't forget that the Iziko South African Museum, the Planetarium and the South African National Art Gallery are right there too!
The Cape Town Summer Market will run from December 14 to 24, 2012 between noon and 21h00 every day. Come along and do your Christmas shopping, grab a bite to eat, or relax on the lawn with your picnic basket. Bring the kids and make an outing of it.
You never know ... you might even bump into a prodigal Belgian! And you certainly won't need to rush home to get warm.
Visit this Cape Town Summer Market Pinterest board to get an idea of what lies in store.

STEUBENVILLE - The Wheeling Central Catholic boys basketball team took an 11-point lead at halftime, thanks to a 20-10 second-quarter advantage, did all the right things in the second half and the result was a 59-42 victory at Steubenville Catholic Central Tuesday evening.
"In the second half we shot free throws very well," said Maroon Knights veteran coach Mel Stephens after his club went 11-for-12 from the line in the fourth quarter, including 8-of-8 by David Park. "When you get in close games and you have a lead, you have to make free throws and I thought we did that well.
"I thought we rebounded the ball well and forced them to play catch-up."

DETERMINED — Steubenville Catholic Central's Ryan Fletcher drives to the basket to score two of his team-high 15 points during Tuesday's 59-42 home loss to Wheeling Central.
-- Mike Mathison
Wheeling Central also did a good job of protecting the basketball.
"We didn't have a lot of turnovers. Early in the year that was one of our problems - turning it over too many times," said Stephens. "If you can take care of the ball, you should be able to take decent shots. Then, if you can make foul shots and rebound, you should be able to win."
Mission accomplished for the Maroon Knights (5-8).
Steubenville Central, playing without starting seniors Zach Herrington and Michael Carapellotti due to the flu, lost for the third time in 14 starts.
"We were without the two because of the flu bug, but our kids stepped up tonight," said Crusaders mentor Sean Tucker. "We played hard. We played our hearts out.
"In order for us to win games with the team we had on the floor tonight, or any other night, we have to be detailed. We stressed in practice about being detailed and we were not detailed in anything we did tonight.
"That's to take nothing away from Wheeling Central. Coach Stephens does a great job with those kids. They played really well tonight."
"I didn't believe it until we got on the court and they weren't here, but that's something we can't control and that's something Sean can't control," Stephens said of the two missing Crusaders. "Sean does a good with those guys. They played hard. They always do. They are going to be fine down the road.
"We played one of our better games."
Freshman Chase Harler led the winners with a game-high 21 points. Park added 15, including a perfect 10-for-10 from the charity stripe.
Ryan Fletcher paced the Crusaders with 15 points. Matt Martello chipped in with 11.
Wheeling Central answered every Catholic Central run in the second half, when it garnered a 30-24 advantage.
"We talked to the kids about playing team basketball, which means setting good screens, rotating well on defense, talking, helping out, hedging screens and I think those are things we have been taking for granted in practice," said Tucker. "We just talked about that. We practiced badly yesterday because we only went 75 percent in practice and it showed tonight.
"We have to go harder in practice. We can't take it easy. We're not a group who can have a day off. Not these kids. They have to go hard because that's how they play.
"That's totally my fault. I'm completely to blame there.
"Offensively tonight we didn't attack, we weren't aggressive, we weren't patient. We didn't come off screens well. We didn't set screens well. There were clear open lanes to the bucket and we would drive and pass the ball.
"When you're on the varsity level, you can't miss layups. It's as simple as that. You can't miss free throws. I don't know how many free throws Wheeling Central missed tonight, but it was less than us."
The Maroon Knights were 17-for-20 and the Crusaders 7-for-12.
"Like all teams, we work and work on free throws in practice," said Tucker. "We have to get better at that in games."
Catholic Central, which welcomes Steubenville Big Red Friday night, is 63-for-94 in its last five games from the line.

I'm wondering which one will be more valuable and have more career opportunities. Web usability or web accessibility. Please show statistics or any valid information if possible.
Web Usability
Web Accessibility
It looks like accessibility has much more impact in the web. If we look for "job" and "last year" too, we see accessibility still gets more hits 220,000 versus 20,200 for usability.
So the winner is accessibility!
Might be of interest :
Edit: I feel the topic is a little heated and there are two main positions:
Anyway, I think one can see it in different technical, practical ways, too. If one reads the job positions carefully its quite obvious.
And, I still believe in the stats I sourced. Even if here isn't the audience of the winner side, but they look quite significant for me. Nowadays, you are downvoted only. Not killed ;) I believe developers are much more searched and needed and higher paid than designers. Even If I'm a believing designer, too.
Accessibility is part of usability. It's more commonly discussed because the US has official accessibility requirements that must be met to comply with ADA regulations.
Anecdote: I make UX hiring decisions. Having worked at Google, LinkedIn, Groupon, and two startups, we have never hired someone whose title was "accessibility" anything. We have hired lots of Usability Researchers and UX Designers, both of whom are expected to be aware of accessibility issues, design for them, and test for them. (Designers typically have the most ownership at the level where accessibility is planned for and implemented — they'll work with the engineers to make sure those concerns are addressed at several levels of the design.) Engineers also have to be aware of these issues — you can't really roll it into one person's job, because to truly make a site accessibile, everyone throughout the product development stack has to be thinking about it.
Try searching LinkedIn and other job sites for roles with "accessibility" (1,200) in the title versus "usability" (2,300). My search (http://goo.gl/ykFnm) resulted in very few job titles with "accessibility"; if you search "usability" you can see that it is considered big enough for its own job. Accessibility is mostly not a skill that is big enough for its own role, except in the largest of companies or government organizations.
Either way, you're going to make yourself a much more valuable employee / consultant if you generally know about usability analysis and research and not just accessibility.
To create truly great user experiences, one must understand how these, and many other disciplines work together. While some disciplines are co-dependent like usability and accessibility, others are traded off like usability and visual design.
The pioneers (Nielsen/Norman) of the field define user experience as, thus
Having said that, usability and accessibility isn't one singular discipline, and any job that advertises as such, have a fundamental misunderstanding of what usability and accessibility is.
Interaction designers, user experience designers, information architects, usability consultants... all those job titles... while you may be more specialized in one aspect than the other, they're very closed related, thus allows for a lot of horizontal mobility in the field.

A Jazzy Affair
It was a splash heard round O.C.'s shores when the Ocean Institute announced that it netted $260,000 during its annual Jazz Festival, a weekend of cool sounds, chic eats and other fun at the nonprofit's waterfront venue. The high note, of course, was the Saturday evening gala. Some 200 music-lovers enjoyed hors d'oeuvres, silent and live auctions, and a four-course dinner concocted by renowned local chefs. The St. Regis Monarch Beach's Frederic Castan cooked up a pan-roasted loups de mer, while the Montage Laguna Beach's Rob Wilson dished out a sea salt-roasted chateaubriand. And then came the music: Jazz greats Spencer Day, Eric Marienthal and Peter White joined Dave Benoit onstage to play smooth tunes and hot rhythms—and the crowd grooved all night long. –Photos by Rick Chatillon

The anti-bacterial footbeds provide optimal comfort and support when the shoes are worn for at least a few hours per day over the course of two weeks. Medium width. (1 1/4 lbs.) Men's.

Great sneaker
By Steve
from Nutley, New Jersey
The size runs small so get a half size bigger, at least; in my case I had to return and get a full size bigger. They are very comfortable. The only thing that I can say I don't like is the fact that "orthaheel" is emblazoned on the tongue of the shoe. It states to everyone that you have a problem with your feet. Overall though, I am quite happy with these sneakers.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Walking Without Pain
By Jonniecrow
from Gulf Coast of Alabama
I had really bad Plantar Fasciitis in both feet. The doctor had me buy some arch support for my shoes that I tried to wear but couldn't because they just didn't fit the shoes properly. These shoes from Hammacher's really are what I needed. They fit great very are comfortable and are the second pair I have purchased. They wear well and are well constructed.

Plantar Fasciitis Orthotic Walking Shoes
By Ken the Senior Indoor Walker
from Overland Park, Kansas 66204
I'm giving this product a second chance. The inside lining in my original pair did not hold up to normal wear over a period of 6 months. These were only worn indoors. Hammacher Schlemmer stood by their warranty & has exchanged a new pair. Ideally, I would not have experienced shipping charges for this exchange but I do appreciate the replacement. They are a very reputible company.
AAHHH What a relief
By Cal Park Chris
from Tinley Park, IL
My husband has been living in pain with plantar faciatis for months. Nothing we have tried has given him anything but very temporary relief, until I purchased these shoes for him. His podiatrist said these were the best insoles he has seen outside of custom orthodics I promptly bought two more pair. His foot is much better already after only a couple of weeks of wearing these shoes. Thanks!

Great shoes, great business great service
By Dave J
from Bronson, MI
I just received my replacement pair of shoes, I wore my shoes almost everyday for everything all day long and don't get tired like I used to, and my back and feet don't ache as much as they used to. I will probably keep wearing these until they are discontinued or I die, the improve my life 200% at least. Thank you..
These are Great Shoes if you have plantar fascitis
By Spider Mike
from San Juan Island, WA
I have plantar fasciitis and it used to hurt to walk. I had constant heel pain. Then I got these shoes. My life changed. I can now walk everywhere with comfort. I buy one pair of these every six months and just walk them into the ground.
Adroit balance of structure and comfort
By Stretch
from Viroqua, WI
Unassuming design is markedly offset with both lateral support and full contact with bottom, sides, heel, and top of foot. That supple contact maximizes support if laced properly. I like them for travel, traipsing around, caught in a surprise shower, confident treading on uneven surfaces, the shoes perform well beyond more expensive models.
SO pleased with the guarentee!
By Bearnboots
from Horseheads, NY
Always order one size too big. They make 'em small. Bought 6 pairs so far over the past three years. One had a defect in manufacture and H.S. replaced them quickly and effortlessly. I'm a teacher and I wear them daily for my plantar fasciitis. They work wonders!
Serious walking shoes
By Mighty Mite
from Santee, SC
Great support for sore heel. Delivery was ahead of schedule.
Quality is excellent, well made.
By Mister Bill
from Grand Prairie, Tx
I like 'em and my feet don't hurt. That's enough for me. And I have NOT been compensated to say this and I paid full price for this product.

Pending online sale tax could mean big business for smaller businesses
BROWNWOOD, Texas - Attention online shoppers, soon it might be more convenient for you to add things to your shopping cart physically, rather than virtually.
The senate passed the Marketplace Fairness Act today, which is a bill that requires all online retailers to collect taxes.
The current law allows states to collect sales taxes only if the stores have a physical presence or location.
Opponents of the bill say there is not enough protection for small businesses while supporters say this change evens out the economic playing field between online and physical retailers.
Early's Heartland Mall property manager Brittany Edwards said she hopes this tax will be an advantage for her small business and for the local stores in the community.
"When I first opened, my main thing is I wanted to be here for Brownwood and the surrounding communities, and so I'm hoping that'll get those customers that did go online shopping back into the store," Edwards said, "I believe competition will keep the people locally."
According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, an estimated $23 billion of sales tax revenue went uncollected last year.
How much you pay depends on where you live, but you won't have to worry about it until at least October 1, 2013, which is the earliest the potential law would take effect.

I've typically have gnome-terminal open with ~8 tabs, using 2 consecutive tabs for the same task (one has emacs, the other is used to do git checkins and unittest runs and so).
When changing tasks, I need to move to a new directory - in both tabs. How can I change the work directory of the second tab to the one of the first tab, with as few steps as possible? Preferably keyboard only.

Video: DigitalPod Promotional Video!
Hello, my name is Matthew Stapleford and I provide responsive websites and company branding solutions for small to medium sized businesses based in London and throughout the UK.
As a Web Designer that also has a background in company branding, I mainly specialise in helping Start-Up Businesses that are looking to obtain a professional new website and logo.
I also often work with established companies that require re-branding and responsive website design services due to their current company logo and website requiring a much needed dose of modernisation!
DigitalPod is not just for businesses based in London, as I provide all branding and website design projects as an online service so that I am able to work with clients throughout the UK.
I usually only work with clients inside of the UK rather than overseas as I understand the UK market and so have developed a style and approach to design that is more suitable for businesses that operate within the United Kingdom.
If your business operates within the UK's capital city then having a responsive website with a .London domain name can be an effective way to market your London based business online.
If you choose one of the Start-Up Packages a .london domain name can be registered for you to use for your new site.
Your website can also be connected to a 'Google My Business' account so that your business is listed in Googles searches and visible on Google maps for people searching within your local area / borough of London.
Having a website that looks great on mobile devices is no longer optional in 2016. The UK mobile market has exploded over the last few years with this expansion expected to increase due to the mobile G4 network and increased WiFi access areas.
For this reason every website that I now create features a responsive design so that it looks great on desktop computers and mobile devices too. I also test all sites on a range of web browsers and devices including iPhones and iPads.
If you like the look of this website and the examples of my work shown, then there is a very good chance you will like what I can do for your business too.
I work with clients from the initial branding ideas through to the development of website concepts and the actual coding of a site, to ensure I can maintain the same high standard of design for each client that I work with. I also never outsource projects for cheap labour. Never ever.

Birth of the Chess Queen (Paperback)
Everyone knows that the queen is the most dominant piece in chess, but few people know that the game existed for five hundred years without her. It wasn't until chess became a popular pastime for European royals during the Middle Ages that the queen was born and was gradually empowered to become the king's fierce warrior and protector.
Birth of the Chess Queen examines the five centuries between the chess queen's timid emergence in the early days of the Holy Roman Empire to her elevation during the reign of Isabel of Castile. Marilyn Yalom, inspired by a handful of surviving medieval chess queens, traces their origin and spread from Spain, Italy, and Germany to France, England, Scandinavia, and Russia. In a lively and engaging historical investigation, Yalom draws parallels between the rise of the chess queen and the ascent of female sovereigns in Europe, presenting a layered, fascinating history of medieval courts and internal struggles for power.
About the Author
Marilyn Yalom is a former professor of French and a senior scholar at the Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University. She is the author of widely acclaimed books such as A History of the Breast, A History of the Wife, Birth of the Chess Queen, and, most recently, How the French Invented Love. She lives in Palo Alto, California, with her husband, psychiatrist and author Irvin D. Yalom.
Praise For…
"Both chess fans and those unfamiliar with the game will enjoy this absorbing look at the evolution of chess."
"An enticing portal into the past…. Yalom writes passionately and accessibly about this esoteric topic."
-Los Angeles Times Book Review
"A well-researched and enjoyable book."
-The Economist
"Marilyn Yalom has written the rare book that illuminates something that always has been dimly perceived but never articulated."
-Cleveland Plain Dealer

Working on a save quote feature for our new website, one of the security requirements is to ask a secret question and obtain a value from the user.
Does anyone have suggestions on the type of Security questions to ask?
Working on a save quote feature for our new website, one of the security requirements is to ask a secret question and obtain a value from the user.
Does anyone have suggestions on the type of Security questions to ask?
Why not allow the user to enter their own security question?
The question itself doesn't matter, it's only there to jog the memory of the user. If you let the user type their own question, they would be more likely to remember the answer and you don't have to try and think of a lot of different questions to cover all situations a user might be in (ie. they never had a pet, don't know mother's maiden name etc).
I'm taking this answer directly from goodsecurityquestions.com website, as referenced on the Security StackExchange site.
But to actually answer your question, that site provides a list that they say are better than others that meet the criteria of:
Don't just use the standard questions like "mother's maiden name", "first pet's name", etc. They're widely used, and using them means you're forcing users to have the same security answers across different websites. That's a security hole, just like reusing passwords is.
I concur with Steve's recommendation of allowing users to make up their own questions. But if you really want to offer predefined questions:
Foreword: I really, really, really think you should go with Steve's answer.
Supposing that you choose to ignore that option, and are going to be asking a predefined list of questions, PLEASE make sure that you choose questions that cannot be easily resolved with a Google search of the person's name and the question.
Prior to Google existing, finding a mother's maiden name could be difficult. Now, it's pretty simple: person's name + white pages + mother's name + google search = mother's maiden name. In order to determine better questions, pick something complicated but easily remembered, that can't be simply searched. Some questions off the top of my head are:
The purpose behind these questions is to make the question and answer secret. Most of the questions that come predefined will be answerable with a simple Google search. Your job is therefore to make sure that the secret questions used by the user aren't easy for an unauthorized party (with reasonable search prowess) to answer.
I think a pre-defined list is the way forward, I've solved this problem about security on my current project by asking the user to fill in three security questions. So a combo box (with all pre-difined questions - you can find good ones with a quick web search) and an input field underneath to fill in the answer.
Chances of guessing one are possible, chances of guessing all three highly unlikely.
Everything that everyone here has said I agree with. Making sure that the questions are not something that someone can easily Google, easy to guess, or unambiguous.
I believe having a create your own question is a good idea because someone can create a question that is not a common security question, however the downfall of this is you are not driving how secure the question is as well as stopping the user from creating something like this...
Question: "frog" Answer: "joe"
People may tend to get lazy and create extremely unambiguous questions that no one would ever remember. So I believe it would be important to have both a list of questions and the option to create your own question.
what is my name ? who is me ? who is my girlfriend ? where i live ? what is my favourite colour ?
Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?

I can view all files in the root directory (/var/www) but as soon as i enter a sub directory (eg /var/www/test) i get a 403 Forbidden error. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.01.
Have tried searching for similar problems but found no solution.
Any suggestions? I need to fix this urgently so any suggestions are very appreciated!
Update: Checked error log in /var/log/apache2/error.log and it contains:
client denied by server configuration: /var/www/test/
Update: If i su into www-data and try to cd into any of the sub-directories it gives me the error:
cd test
sh: 4: cd: can't cd to test
Update: By doing ls -l in /var/www i get:

Summer is here and that is always a busy time for our office. I wanted to give all my readers an update on what Kiowa County 4-H members are doing.
We had 25 campers from Kiowa County attend Wildhorse Camp on June 11-13. This is a five fold increase from just 2 years ago. We had 15 new campers attending camp this year. They camp at Scott City at Camp Lakeside.
I want to thank those parents that helped transport kids to and from camp as well as our 2 adult sponsors. We could not have made this happen without you.
Getting ready for the 2012 fair is also on the agenda for 4-H families and leaders. We have had several county wide leaders helping the 4- H members with their projects. Again we could not have the success of the program without caring and knowledgeable leaders.
This year's fair books were in the Kiowa County Signal this week. Be sure to get the paper and see all the events and programs the Fair Board has planned for this years fair.
We do have books available in the Extension Office if you don't have one. Just stop by and pick one up.
Fair dates for this year are July 24-27. The public fashion revue will be July 23rd at the Kiowa County Hospital Conference Room. I hope you will mark these dates and come see what these talented 4-H's have been doing this summer.

GoogledGnome #36
Gnomer exile rep
(stoopid iPhone ate my post… Again!)
Yeah I decided recently that any good Gnome would be Exalted with Gnomergan, so I have also embarked on the task of increasing my rep with my home faction.
Well researching it at least.
There 4 ways to increase your Gnome rep, two of which will both provide the majority of your Gnome rep and in fact the majority of your rep for the other Alliance factions.
- do Gnome faction quests – look them up on WoWhead or your favorite database.
- do the cloth handins in Ironforge to the Gnome cloth quartermaster
- PvP for spillover faction rep
- do piles and piles of quests in the "starting" zones of the other Alliance factions
1.-2. are reasonably self explanatory.
3. When you earn rep with the home faction in battlegrounds (eg: Ironforge for AV), 25% spills over into the other Alliance factions.
4. Many quests in the starting zones award a large bundle of rep for the relevant faction, plus award a smaller amount to the other factions.
The earliest of them only give rep for the "home" faction, but once out of the starting area, you will be building them all up.
It can be quite mindless and boring at times, worse than level grinding because the only challenges are stating awake, being as travel efficient as possible and not forgetting the task at hand.
So try to enjoy the journey, there is a good chance you haven't traveled these paths, so remember to stop and smell the roses and enjoy the view while 20 level ten mobs die on your fire armor.
Gnomer and Out!

Thank you, Artis Hughes. And a big thanks to you, Shi'Dea Lane. Thank you both for proving that African-American adage, "Some Negroes just don't know how to act."
Actually, the saying uses that much better known and far more offensive "n" word, but we've all heard it. And we've all heard that adage.
Now, thanks to a video that's gone viral, anyone in the world can not only hear about how "some Negroes just don't know how to act," but they can also actually SEE a classic example of the adage.
Hughes is a 59-year-old Cleveland bus driver, but he might not be for long.
Lane, 25, is, well, how can we define Lane, exactly?
We only have her actions in the video to go by. And those actions say that whatever else Lane might be, she is definitely this: a loudmouth, uncouth, straight-out-of-the-ghetto harpy. The shrew from hell might be an accurate description, and that might be too kind a choice of words.
The video of what went down between Hughes and Lane just recently went viral, but the initial incident happened over a month ago, on Sept. 18.
According to a police report of the incident, Lane boarded the bus Hughes was driving around 4 p.m. Lane didn't pay her fare, claiming her money was in a book bag she'd left behind.
Somehow Lane's not having bus fare escalated into a beef between the driver and passenger. Hughes lost his cool. Lane went straight ghetto.
Both – supposedly adults, mind you – engaged in a macho idiocy contest of who might whip whose ass. If you watch the video, you'll hear this exchange:
Hughes: I'll bring my daughter up here to whip your ass. I'll bring my granddaughter up here to whip your ass.
Lane: Well bring 'em, n***a. Bring your mammy up here and I'll whip her ass too.
Hughes: You look like somebody done sliced your face up.
Somewhere during this hissing match Lane called Hughes and his mother the dreaded "b" word. Then she grabbed him by the throat and spat in his face.
Not exactly a wise career move.
It was at that point, I suspect, that Hughes decided to forego bringing either his daughter or granddaughter to the scene to "whip Lane's ass." Hughes decided that Lane had just bought herself a one-way ticket to "Get My Ass Whipped City," and that Hughes himself would be the bus driver.
Hughes got up from his seat and told Lane, "You going to jail now." Then he went straight George Foreman on Lane.
He nailed her with a right uppercut, square on the chin. Then he bodily tossed her off the bus.
Lane, that feisty little dickens, rushed back ON to the bus to continue the fight with Hughes, who gets my vote for the bravest black man in America. No way in hell would I get into a fight with Lane, or any woman like her.
It was only then that some of the more responsible parties on the bus – and believe me, judging by how things turned out, there weren't many – stepped in to separate Hughes and Lane and try to calm things down.
One woman chided Hughes for hitting Lane.
"She's a female," the woman said.
"If she acts like a man, Ima treat you like a man," Hughes answered.
It was then that Lane went completely ghetto, calling Hughes the "b" word, the "n" word and promising to bring her "n***a" to the scene to give Hughes a beat down.
Exactly how ghetto is Lane? After the incident she spoke publicly about it, and that now famous – or should it be "infamous" – uppercut.
"It just hurted," Lane said of the blow.
"Hurted"? Oh my, sounds to me like someone is hooked on Ebonics. Sounds to me like English might be a second language in Cleveland public schools – and I'm talking for the people who were born here.
Hughes has been suspended from his job, but that should be the least of his worries (that he brought partly on himself, by the way). If I were Hughes, I'd watch my back.
Lane's boyfriend – the second bravest black man in America – is probably even more ghetto than she his. How do I know?
Lordy, who else would have the woman? If I'd brought a woman like Lane home to meet my mom, she'd have had one reaction.
Mama would have dragged me out into the back yard, tied me to a tree and shot me between the eyes.
And rightly so.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Late on the night of last September 11th, U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens spoke to his deputy for the final time from the diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.
"Greg, we're under attack," Stevens told Gregory Hicks.
Within hours, Stevens and three other Americans were dead, victims of an armed terrorist assault that has since become a political and foreign policy flashpoint in Washington's partisan wars.
The dramatic narrative recounted by Hicks at a six-hour Republican-led House hearing on Wednesday reflected the knowledge of a high-level insider who was in Libya that long night and was deeply involved in trying to react to events.
His efforts to determine the circumstances of the attack and muster help for those under siege in eastern Libya were later praised by his superiors and by President Barack Obama.
The step-by-step account riveted the Republican-led Oversight Committee proceeding that was also marked by sharp partisan exchanges over the merits of continued congressional inquiries over the attack.
Republicans once again accused the Obama administration of trying to cover up the fact that it was a well-orchestrated assault by militants, failing to adequately explain events to the public, and then refusing to cooperate with congressional investigators.
Democrats once again accused Republicans of using tragedy for political gain.
Hicks -- praised by Republicans as a "whistleblower" -- was joined at the witness table by Eric Nordstrom, a former regional security officer in Libya, and Mark Thompson, the State Department's acting deputy assistant secretary for counterterrorism.
Our goal "is to get answers, declared committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, R-California. "The administration, however, has not been cooperative."
Hicks described in personal detail how he missed Stevens' initial call and then reached him by cell phone as the attack unfolded in phases.
"I got the ambassador on the other end and he said, 'Greg, we're under attack.'"
He recounted the efforts of a security response team on site that drove back the attackers, and "repeated attempts" by those on the ground to enter the burning compound to try and rescue Stevens and others.
He then said that Stevens was at a hospital that was controlled by a group that he said Twitter feeds identified as leading the attack. Was it a trap to lure more Americans? Then the worst news about his boss.
"I received a call from the prime minister of Libya. I think it's the saddest phone call I've ever had in my life. He told me that Ambassador Stevens had passed away," Hicks said.
Oversight committee Republicans continued to go after televised remarks by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice five days after the attack. In them, she insisted it was the result of a spontaneous demonstration over an anti-Islam film that turned violent.
GOP critics believe Rice was shielding Obama at the height of his re-election campaign during which there were times that he trumpeted U.S. successes in combating terrorism, including the death of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in 2011.
Administration officials say Rice was using official talking points that relied on the best available information at the time. Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-North Carolina, asked Hicks if there was any evidence early on that the attack was a protest.
"No, there was none," Hicks said. "I'm confident Ambassador Stevens would have reported a protest immediately if one appeared on his door."

A third of the displaced have sought refuge at U.N. facilities, mainly in the capital Juba and Malakal, the main city in oil-rich Upper Nile state.
General who defected from the South Sudan army and pledged loyalty to former Vice President Riek Machar says JEM rebels have crossed into Unity state.
UN mission in South Sudan expresses extreme concern about reports of large numbers of armed youth advancing toward Bor
Reports say thousands of armed youth loyal to former Vice President Riek Machar are preparing an attack on central town of Bor
25,000-strong force of 'White Army' - made up largely of ethnic Nuer youths who dust their bodies with ash - marching on town of Bor, recaptured by loyalist forces last Tuesday, army spokesman says
Military spokesman Philip Aguer says Machar is mobilizing the so called 'White Army' youth to launch an attack on central town
Information Minister Michael Makuei says government troops on Saturday morning pushed rebels out of the town of Mayom in Unity State and are ready to advance the 90 km to Bentiu
Doctors Without Borders says it has treated scores of people for gunshot wounds and the United Nations says 12,000 people are sheltering at its base in Malakal, capital of oil-rich Upper Nile state.
Even in towns unaffected by fighting, supplies are running short and prices are spiking.
Foreign ministry spokesman says government's ceasefire will begin immediately and VP Machar, the leader of the rebellion, has three days to respond to ceasefire call
But the backers of ex-Vice President Riek Machar insist that 11 political leaders who were detained when the unrest began be released before talks begin.
Production is shut down in Unity state as foreign workers, who are key to the industry in South Sudan, flee violence that is raking the country.
Alleged coup attempt, ensuing violence expose animosity between Dinka and Nuer - country's two main ethnic groups
The U.N. Secretary General assures the South Sudanese that the United Nations is working to stop the fighting that the U.N. says has likely killed thousands.
An army spokesman says the SPLA is fighting to retake the capitals of two oil-producing states, a day after recapturing Bor in Jonglei state.
Army official says clashes between rebels, government loyalists continues in Malakal, capital of oil-rich Upper Nile State
In message, released in Dinka and Nuer, president calls on South Sudan's leaders to show courage and commitment to end violence that has claimed hundreds of lives
Many children have been separated from their families since fighting broke out on Dec. 16 in Juba, and women are vulnerable in overcrowded camps set up for displaced.
Government says its forces have reclaimed Bor, capital of Jonglei state; UN Security Council approves resolution to send more peacekeepers
As members of Nuer, Dinka ethnic groups brutally target each other, US takes precaution of repositioning troops in region in event they are needed
The United States says it may take further steps in South Sudan to ensure the safety of Americans as the U.N. evacuates non-essential staff.
Army spokesman says military was being deployed to Bor, capital of Jonglei state, which was seized by forces under control of rebel commander last week
In a statement Saturday, AU describes the killing of United Nations peacekeepers and civilians at a UN camp as a war crime
Mission to rescue Americans from city of Bor was aborted and all three planes diverted to neighboring Uganda
The tense incident comes a day after two U.N. peacekeepers and 11 South Sudanese civilians were killed when armed youths attacked a U.N. base in Akobo, in Jonglei state.
Uganda has said it is worried by this week's fighting, which could plunge the new nation into ethnic conflict
UN Security Council's president says about 14,000 civilians have taken shelter at a UN base that is now surrounded by up to 3,000 armed men
The U.N. Deputy Secretary General says there are reports of fatalities in the attack on its operating base in Akobo, in eastern Jonglei state.
Juba is relatively calm, but clashes in Jonglei state trigger panic. The U.N. reports that it is providing food and shelter to tens of thousands of civilians who have sought shelter at its facilities.
UN mission says more than 1,000 civilians have sought shelter at its compound in Bor, about 150 kilometers north of Juba
The government says it expects the fighting will end soon but residents continue to flee the violence, seeking shelter at U.N. compounds and in villages outside the city.
The United States is keeping an eye on the situation in Juba, but refuses to call the unrest that rocked the city an attempted coup.
Officials blame the overnight unrest on an attempted coup by forces loyal to former vice president Riek Machar.
Another newspaper editor says his entire print-run was seized over an article critical of President Salva Kiir, but the government refuses to comment.
The response of the scores of foreign companies that attended the conference was positive, with some 50 companies taking concrete steps to do business in South Sudan.
President Salva Kiir calls for three days of mourning for the South African giant, who died Thursday at the age of 95.
President Salva Kiir declares the country open for business, while US and UN officials call for more investor protection and business-friendly laws
Many honeymooners head for a sandy beach in the Caribbean, but not Australian newlyweds Matthew and Emily Albert
The stigma attached to the disease keeps many South Sudanese from getting tested or seeking treatment.

Summit Promotes the Power of Technology to Change the World
Professor Matthew Waxman first pondered the potential for technology to combat violent extremism in 2007, while he was acting director for the State Department's Policy Planning Staff. As YouTube emerged as a forum for political debates and Facebook became a conduit for political mobilization, Waxman's brainstorming evolved into legitimate discussions and concrete actions, culminating last December with the inaugural Alliance of Youth Movements Summit, hosted by Columbia Law School.
The summit was organized by Howcast Media and sponsored by Facebook, Google, YouTube, MTV, the U.S. State Department, and Access 360 Media. Its goal was to produce a field manual that will teach individuals, organizations, and governmental bodies how to harness digital media tools and inspire young people to act.
"We at Columbia are excited about helping, designing, and studying innovative public-private partnerships that leverage new technologies to tackle some of the world's greatest challenges," said Waxman. "Those of us who teach and study law need to understand how communication technologies are transforming politics both at home and abroad."
The summit attracted international organizations that had successfully used technology to advance their goals. Oscar Morales, of One Million Voices Against the FARC, used Facebook to unite people around the world against an extremist group that has been terrorizing Colombia for more than 40 years. Jamie Tworkowski, of To Write Love on Her Arms, used Myspace to help almost 100,000 people from 40 different countries find resources to cope with mental illness and drug abuse. One man, whose identity had to be kept secret for fear of retribution in his native Egypt, was part of a group that used Facebook to organize two protests against the Egyptian government. Thousands of Egyptians joined the protests, but the government reacted violently. Three people were killed, and hundreds were detained. Simultaneously inspiring and devastating, the protests marked the beginning of a movement within Egypt that is gaining speed, thanks to websites like Facebook. The Egyptian man assured his fellow activists at the summit that the movement would not stop.
"We are a country under occupation," he said, "and we wish to have our freedom someday."
These stories and experiences are now available at youthmovements.howcast.com, an online hub that will allow the next wave of social, political, or ideological organizers to learn from their predecessors.

No, I do not want to talk of Linux MINT, but as is practically possible to apply some tricks to make our desktop a bit more nature oriented.
However let me say that thanks to your choice of Linux operating system you are already on the philosophical choice closer to nature:
- Requires less resources: Linux distributions require an average of fewer resources, and the hardware can be used for longer.
- KM 0: The Open Source philosophy relies heavily on volunteers who work from home and contribute to various projects.
- Less packaging: Linux is mainly distributed via downloads and manuals are in digital format.
- More cheap: In Linux you have many freely available software so you don't have to work to buy them.
But now back on practice in particular we'll see
- The tickless kernel, which enables the processor to sleep between tasks
- PowerTop to check what's consuming more energy


text: I'm going to be uploading some lessons on some classic characters that have been around for ages. To start, let's learn "how to draw Pluto easy", step by step. Pluto is a very entertaining non-speaking figure from Mickey Mouse's gang. Yes he is Mickey's dog, and he is an unknown breed. Pluto was one of the first cartoon style dogs that I started becoming a fan of when I was a kid. I enjoyed drawing Pluto in an easy manner because I know that others will learn how to recreate a Disney character like him. Adios folks, be sure to leave some feedback when you are done viewing, or following the lesson at hand.

300 Microsoft Point from Xbox LIVE Rewards for $0
You have to complete 3 tasks in three categories during the month of April, I do these any way so it is a welcome added bonus.
When it comes to fun, you're a multi-tasker. So we created the Triple Play offer just for you. Earn 300 Microsoft Points just by experiencing what Xbox LIVE has to offer - gaming, entertainment and social. Start having fun now and earn yours, because the Triple Play only lasts through April.
29 Comments add a comment
@pinchecat: In fairness, if someone owns Microsoft's product the likely reason is because they enjoy spending time using it. Getting paid to do what one enjoys is not really selling one's self short.
to summarize: spend a minimum of 13 hours using their product(s), and get what equates to roughly $3.50.
talk about selling yourself short.
For those that don't what to click through:
Play any Kinect game for 2 hours or more during the month of April.
Experience multi-player gaming on Xbox LIVE for 10 hours or more during the month of April.
Spend 800 Microsoft Points or more on game-related items in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace during the month of April (qualifying items include the following: Games on Demand, Game Add-Ons, or Arcade game titles).
Thats just one of the 3 parts. You need one of those 3 then one of these two
Spend 400 Microsoft Points or more on any movie or television content in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace during the month of April.
Use any of these entertainment apps for 10 hours or more during the month of April:
CrackleEPIXESPN on Xbox LIVEHBO GOHulu PlusiHeartRadioLast.FMMSN with MSNBC.comNetflixSyfyTMZUFC® on Xbox LIVEVEVOVUDU Movies
and then one of these three
Use Facebook through your Xbox LIVE account for 1 hour or more during the month of April.
Watch YouTube through your Xbox LIVE account for 1 hour or more during the month of April.
Connect over Video Kinect for 1 hour or more during the month of April.
@bmason3604: nice and jinx you owe me 300 points
Also you have to:
1. Spend 400 Microsoft Points or more on any movie or television content in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace during the month of April.
2. Use any of these entertainment apps for 10 hours or more during the month of April: (a bunch of apps like Hulu and Netflix I'm not going to post)
1. Use Facebook through your Xbox LIVE account for 1 hour or more during the month of April.
2. Watch YouTube through your Xbox LIVE account for 1 hour or more during the month of April.
3. Connect over Video Kinect for 1 hour or more during the month of April.
Do I need to keep track of all these things myself or am I missing some page that keeps track of my progress in each of the areas?
Play multiplayer, easily done in a day. Watch Netflix, OK. YouTube, can do.
I wouldn't do the Kinect and Facebook options if they gave me 300,000 points.
@zerrick: More importantly, how active do I need to be. AKA can I log into a kinect game for 2 hours and leave it going in the other room or do I actually have to be there? Same question with both facebook and netflix (because I otherwise wouldn't even care to use facebook on the xbox...)
Criteria 1 and 2 are easy. I play games all the time, for 1, and #2 is easily accomplished by watching some episodes of Rescue Me (I just started) on Xbox Live instead of one of my computers--this has the added bonus of meaning a bigger screen than normal.
#3 will be harder though.
So, play mw3. watch netflix/hulu. watch youtube. Earn 300 points. Pretty simple, why not?
after the fact, that you do any of those 3 things in april the question is, how do you track and redeem your 300 ms points?
Haha wow, sorry for the repost. I even refreshed after posting my comment and didn't see yours, or else I would have deleted mine...
@disturbed0ne: Prepare for one of the greatest shows ever.
Going to be a stretch on a couple of those things since I don't have Netflix. I wonder if I can just pull up Facebook and leave it open for an hour while I watch TV.
So if you don't own a Kinect and aren't a huge online gamer, this isn't for you.
Easiest MS points EVER!
This really seems like Microsoft just asking for trouble. It can be hassle enough just tracking down the 20 points you earned for your monthly survey through this program, and now they've got this crazy web of time-based criteria.
If you really want a way to earn free MS points, do Bing VIP. In the same amount of time I've earned 550 points from Xbox rewards I've gotten $40 of free MS points through Bing VIP.
I can easily do 2hrs of Kinect Sports, easily watch 10hrs+ of Netflix between me my wife and kids, I can Youtube it up for 1 measly hr...
That's my plan for 300pts Seems simple enough. I just hope they properly track this. I never got my Netflix activation pts. which kind of pissed me off.
I wouldn't mind getting paid $3.50 to play video games. Not sure how that is considered being "sold short". Talk about a strong sense of entitlement LOL :P
@starmandeluxe: will you please elaborate Bing VIP thing?
@starmandeluxe: How are the free points a hassle to "track down"? Once you have earned 80 points or more through the rewards program, they are automatically credited to your Xbox Live account. I don't know how it could be any easier, as you don't have to even enter a redemption code.
Good tip on Bing, though. I do this AND Bing Rewards (http://www.bing.com/explore/rewards) and have earned over 6,000 total free Microsoft points.
And yes, they are free points, as I get them for doing things I would be doing without any incentives.
@tcanning: ESPN also counts toward the 10 hours. If you're a sports fan, that app should make 1/3 of this incentive pretty easy to get (especially with the three MLB games per week).
@oohwha: sense of entitlement? i'm not asking for anything. i'm merely pointing out the fact that you're effectively being paid 27 cents an hour to play video games, and i figured the typical working class wooter would place more value on his or her time; i know i do.
yes, i own an xbox, but i can make more money leaving my desk for a few minutes to take a piss than i can by keeping track of the number of hours i spend using the console in pursuit of a mere 300 microsoft points.
I think I'll use my time a bit more wisely and mow a neighbors yard for $20 and use it to buy a 1600 point card. Elapsed time = 1-2 hours. Then I can spend my April NOT jumping through hoops for "The Man".
They are just giving you points for using their service, I have been a member of the rewards program since December 2010, and I've gotten 1600 points, and a few free avatar items out of it, and I've done nothing except use Xbox the way I normally do, I very seldom even look at the rewards page, and yet I still get surprised randomly by a few hundred extra points in my account every so often. This has nothing to do with getting paid to use their service, it's just a nice little perk for doing what you already do.
Well it's free, but after all 300 points is only worth about $3.75.
Sadly, unless you're actually using it, it'll probably cost more than the 300 points on your power bill, but the easiest way is to play kinect or just start a game and go do something, put it on crackle whenever you go out and put on youtube for an hour. Obviously if you're already buying things on XBL then this will just be a sort of discount or rebate to you.
@kkotd: Or a reward, even.
Did anyone ever get their points from this? I did everything required and don't think I saw a boost in my points, but I'm not 100% sure how many points I had to start with, so maybe I'm wrong...

Beyond Wrinkles: 7 Beauty Mistakes That Make You Look Old
Sure, an aging complexion contributes to your overall appearance but looking older is about a lot more than just wrinkles
For centuries, countless cultures have honored and revered their elders (wrinkles and all) but, these days, we worship and kowtow to youth. Think that's all just media hype? Think again.
In 2010 we doled out a mind-boggling $10.7 billion for cosmetic procedures. And, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2,437,165 of us got Botox injected into our wrinkles while another 1.3 million had fillers injected into theirs.
See beauty mistakes that make you look older.
Then there's the $115.5 billion we spend annually on anti-aging skin care products -- those topical creams and potions and lotions that we hope will undo the toll time has taken on our faces and bodies. Not to mention the vast array of anti-aging supplements (resveratrol, collagen boosters, oral hyaluronic acid) that now pepper the shelves of both vitamin shops and beauty aisles alike.
Yes, we women (though last year men had 750,000 cosmetic procedures done -- some for anti-aging purposes) want to recapture our youth and will, it seems, stop at nothing to do it. But here's the irony; there are seven egregious everyday errors that women make with their hair, makeup and other aspects of their physical appearance that make them look older than they are. That's right, seven relatively simple-to-fix things that you can start doing today to take years off your looks.
See them now.

unless i am wearing eyeliner on my bottom waterline, i never wear mascara on the bottom lashes because it looks all wrong in general.
by treehugger1997 Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 02:53PM Report as inappropriate
I never wore face makeup when I was younger, other than blush and mascara. I've been using powders for several years now, to give my face some color, but use a primer which smooths it out and keeps it from settling into wrinkles. I always thought it was best to play up my eyes with mascara, so now have to try not using it on my lower lashes to see if I think it works better for me at this age. Thank you!

I especially appreciate the blush tip, we get used to certain makeup techniques and forget they need to change as we age!! thanks for the reminder

I never wear mascara on my bottom lashes, not because it makes me look old but because its a struggle to get off at the end of the day.
by kimihavens Friday, November 9, 2012 at 01:43PM Report as inappropriate
I would like to add that when I do a face mask, I always include my neck too. Maybe that is obvious to do that? IDK. Because I've had to deal with acne for decades, I've done tons of face masks. Now I am approaching 50 & when I compare my neck skin to other ladies my age, I can see a clear difference in the skin of the neck. Mine looks better & the main diff is probably the decades of face masks. As an aside, any time you want to know someone's true age, you can always tell by looking at their hands. Maybe the next article could be about the skin on the hand.

I think it'll look a little odd not wearing any mascara on the lower lashes but I'm going to give it a try maybe one day this week to see what I think.

The McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research, of the Silver School of Social Work at New York University, has been awarded a $699,735 grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to collaboratively create and pilot web- and app-based homework support within child-serving agencies across New York City.
Under the two-year research project, electronic content will be developed in an effort to promote skill acquisition, with the ultimate goal of improving health and behavioral health outcomes for children, adults and families receiving mental health services.
The project will be directed by Dr. Mary McKay, a professor at the Silver School of Social Work and the director of the McSilver Institute. Serving as co-investigator will be Dr. Andrew Cleek, also of the McSilver Institute and an assistant professor at the NYU School of Medicine. Collaborators include Dr. Kimberly Hoagwood of the NYU School of Medicine, Dr. Anil Chacko from CUNY Queens College, Kimberly Johnson from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and Nikolaos Kazantzis of the La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia.
"As smart phones and access to the internet become increasing accessible, this grant provides a real opportunity to better understand the benefits of utilizing apps in the delivery of health and mental health services, particularly as a supplement to the care provided by under-resourced public health and behavioral health providers," said Dr. McKay.
Public health and behavioral health providers struggle to adapt, implement and embed evidence-based practices in a range of community-based settings serving poverty-impacted populations with ever shrinking resources. As a result, interest in the use of mobile technology to complement and enhance mental health services is increasing.
Previous studies have demonstrated that incorporating homework between visits can result in improved outcomes. However, little research exists on the impact of homework exercises that utilize mobile health applications which are web-based as well as supported on smartphones for individuals and families receiving mental health services.
Findings from this study will have broad implications for evidence-based treatments for youth and adult mental health challenges that emphasize homework as the link between treatment and improvements in targeted outcomes. The app focuses on delivering homework
exercises via a highly engaging, multiplayer, interactive, cooperative and skill-building game platform accessed through the internet or smartphones.
About the McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research:
The McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research (McSilver), located within New York University Silver School of Social Work, provides research and technical support to health and behavioral health organizations enabling them to further improve the lives of low-income people who face mental health, medical, social and/or functional challenges related to poverty. McSilver brings together researchers, educators, policy makers, practitioners and consumers to figure out a pathway for adapting successful evidence based practices (EBPs) to varied and highly stressed community based settings.

When you look at Apple Menu > About This Mac > More info, these are the specs you need to meet as a minimum:
Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of RAM
Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later with the Mac App Store installed
At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously recommended.
Note that you will need at least 10.6.6 simply because that is the release that the Mac App Store was included with. Lion requires the App Store to install from, and thus the 10.6.6 requirement to install. 10.6.x is available from Amazon.
Second note. The processor cannot be a Core Duo. It must be at least a Core 2 Duo.
Hope this helps
