This picture features a brain which is a symbol for intelligence and it also describes what my mind goes through day in and day out. My brain sweats and bleeds "creative juices" that are shown on a day to day basis :at school, in the community etc. The glasses show a side of my brain that hides behind the wall that I've built up over the years for multiple reason that i do not wish to further discuss.

Knicks Hope Smith Rights Himself
Will the Suspended Smith Really Grow Up?
GREENBURGH, N.Y.—Much like the coaches before him often did, Mike Woodson stood and addressed the media Wednesday to talk about J.R. Smith's maturity.
"He's got to grow up and do the right things," Woodson said of Smith, who last month was suspended five games for violating the league's anti-drug policy. "I'm not going to throw him out to pasture. My job is to coach him and to make sure that what happened doesn't happen again."
So will this be the year J.R. Smith grows up?
The question is one that could undoubtedly impact the team's ability to reach the Eastern Conference Finals. But it's also a frustrating one for the Knicks to have to wonder about yet again; namely because several members of the team—and the media—suggested last season that Smith had shown considerable growth in terms of his off-court demeanor.
The narrative—that the once-hotheaded Smith was more under control, dressing more professionally and taking part in less New York City nightlife—quickly gained steam as the New Jersey native hit game-winning shots and posted career-best scoring numbers that helped land him the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award. It was by far the most fanfare that Smith, who entered the league straight out of high school in 2004, had ever gotten.
Slowly and quietly, though, the storyline began falling flat over time. The 13 technical fouls he picked up in 2012-13 were more than double what he'd had in any season prior. His Twitter exploits, which at one point drew him a fine in the 2011-12 season, again became fodder for Deadspin. Following a game in April, he walked into the Knicks locker room for media interviews wearing a hat with a four-letter expletive emblazoned across it.
And while it's nearly impossible to know whether a player has gone out the night before a game—something the 28-year-old has owned up to doing at times in the past—the 6-foot-6 guard has consistently played his worst after weekend nights.
His 35.9% field-goal percentage in Sunday and Monday games—down from 44.5% on the other five days of the week—was the steepest dropoff of any wing player in the league, per Stats LLC. (His 13.4% dropoff on those days was the largest of any NBA wing player in 2011-12, too.)
But those things escaped criticism. It wasn't until the playoffs, when he drew a costly one-game suspension for elbowing Boston's Jason Terry and reportedly went out to clubs on nights before games, that he began drawing considerable fire from even the team's fans. (He denied via Twitter that he'd gone out to clubs on nights before the postseason games.)
Between the ridicule for the lowly playoff performances and the recent suspension, the Knicks' second-leading scorer, who recently re-signed with the team for three years, has gotten an earful from the fans and even some of his teammates.
Carmelo Anthony, whom Smith considers his closest friend on the team, said he spoke to the guard at length after word of the suspension got out.
"I had a heart-to-heart with him to just let him know there are a lot of people in our position that don't get as many chances as you're getting," Anthony said in an interview last week. "And I told him that he has to take that into consideration and build off that. You can really turn everything around and just focus on basketball, but you have to want it. If you don't want it for yourself, then no one else is going to help you."
Smith briefly addressed his suspension Monday, saying he was "disappointed because I let my teammates and my coaches down more than anything. I let [team owner James] Dolan down."
There's obviously no way to know if Smith will be strictly business once he returns from his July knee surgery, which figures to keep him sidelined for much of training camp. And as Smith said at practice Wednesday, this year's team—unlike last year's, which was the oldest in league history—lacks the elder statesmen who have the sort of life experience he can draw from.
But short-term, Smith says he wants to "be more focused on the game as opposed to myself or getting the crowd hyped up." He mentioned wanting to be more attentive to Woodson so he can help teach the team's rookie shooting guards.
Maybe doing those things would yield karma, which Smith clearly believes in. "I think [the elbow against Boston] probably [ticked] the NBA gods off," he said Wednesday. "When you mess with the game of basketball, the game gets you back. And it definitely got me back."
At this point, the Knicks just hope Smith is done messing around for good.

Bret Michaels suffers nose fracture, busted lip at Tonys
Published: Monday, June 8, 2009 at 5:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 8, 2009 at 5:35 p.m.
NEW YORK (AP) Bret Michaels performed at the Tony Awards, and all he got was a nose fracture and a busted lip.
According to Michaels' spokeswoman, the rock singer had X-rays taken after getting clocked in the head by a descending set piece at Sunday's Radio City Music Hall ceremony.
Publicist Joann Mignano says Michaels, who performed with his 1980s hair-metal band Poison, fractured his nose and had to get three stitches in his lip. She says he was getting a CAT scan on Monday as a precaution, as he's had a past neck injury.
Although he's "pretty bruised up," Mignano says, Michaels was in good spirits. He wiped off blood with a towel and laughed backstage when host Neil Patrick Harris joked that the singer "gave head banging a whole new meaning."
Michaels took to the stage with Poison during the telecast's opening production number, featuring performances from the season's Broadway musicals.
They performed "Nothin' But a Good Time" with the cast of "Rock of Ages," and as Michaels exited the stage, he smacked into a piece of scenery and was knocked to the ground upon impact. Footage of the accident soon landed online, where Michaels' pratfall seemed to score as much attention as the prestigious ceremony itself.
Michaels had a "great time performing for the Broadway audience," says Mignano, who notes that the star of VH1's "Rock of Love" reality series took photos backstage with theater legends Liza Minnelli and Angela Lansbury.
Michaels, who has gone solo, is touring with his namesake band. Later this month, he'll take Poison on the road for a joint tour with Def Leppard and Cheap Trick.

I logged into make some changes to some posts today and when I tried to update I kept receiving access denied. I then went to check settings in AAM and the Administrator role was missing. What do I need to do to fix this?
I was able to add AAM Super Admin but I am still receiving Access Denied when trying to update posts from the Administrator account.
Hi brad_sdb,
Make sure that your Administrator Role as well as your admin user has all capabilities checked. You might unchecked some or removed.
yep me too Administrator role is gone
@crazychameleon try this:
Go under the AAM menu and select the ConfigPress and add:
super_admin = "1"
thanks...and what about the normal admin?
By adding the super_admin role to "1" in ConfigPress you should be setting your default Admin user to have super admin access to the AAM interface which means that your Administrator role should be visible again when on the Admin account.
If you want to set a different user to be the super admin/be able to access the Administrator role then you will need to change 1 to the that user id.
@WP AMM what is the purpose for not including the administrator role by default?
Hi brad_sdb,
Thank you for help with support!
jhoffmcd the reason AAM does not show the administrator role is because more and more users are using it and in fact it is very powerful tool, more users messing around with Administrator role. We can not blame them because they do not know what they are doing.
So this is kind of additional protection.
Vasyl: I see, it makes sense from a developer's perspective. Good to know :)
This doesn't work?
Based on documentation, AAM should not impact Super Admin user. However, when I inadvertently unchecked "Restric AAM" when in Administrator Role (thought I was in the role "Site Manager" I created (yeah, sucks)... Now I cannot access AAM.
Any ideas how to get back the access?
Thanks @brad_sdb. Very helpful, after upgrading from an old version of AAM and losing custom role settings clients.

IRVING, Texas – Eight days ago Martez Wilson was a member of the Oakland Raiders. In one of his first official acts as a member of the Dallas Cowboys, he will play against the Raiders.
"Oh yeah, that matters," the linebacker said. "It adds a lot of aggression toward my play when I do play against them. Also it's going to put a fire behind me because I know they released me. I know they'd seen my talent, but I don't know why they released me, so I get to show it against them."
Wilson will have two practices to get ready for the Raiders, which he said would be enough.
"See the ball, get the ball," he said. "See the ball and react. Run to the ball."
Wilson played in three games for the Raiders but did not make a tackle. In four games for the New Orleans Saints, he had four tackles and a sack for the defense run by former Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.
"He was just always like up and after it," Wilson said. "He was a rah-rah guy. He always had the energy. He was just ready to go."
Monte Kiffin is Wilson's third defensive coordinator of the season.
"I wouldn't say unlearn but expanding your learning because I've been learning a new defense since my junior year in college every year and you just put all the knowledge together," Wilson said. "Sometimes it's the same thing but just different terminology to where they maybe have some small rule change. Honestly, it makes me a smarter football player."

How do you remove the 'entry-title' (not the ALT) on individual gallery pages? I have a gallery that shows x thumbnails. All is well.
I click on a photo and the image name displays as the title on the page. Below that is the date and image size.
Not to be a pisser but, why would WP force the image name, date and size upon a gallery post page. It's a photo gallery. I understand the caption showing below but, it's a gallery. People want to see photos, not image file names :)
If you could help me make this vanish I would be grateful. I've tried:
1. Several plugins (none address this issue including the page title removal or the alt title removal plugins)
2. .page-id-149 .entry-title { display: none; } or the #post version
And about a million variants. I don't want to remove page titles, just this information.

I swam today for about an hour, mostly just for recovery and relaxation. I didn't work very hard.
I went to my chiropractor and he wroked me over pretty good. He adjusts me and then uses his sports massage techniques to workout all the tightness. My IT bands were pretty tight as well as all around my hip joints. My legs hurt like mad last night from it and I'm really exhausted today but I should feel better tomorrow. It's like I can feel my body working to try to repair all the scar tissue and the treatment. I'm totally trashed and I can barely function...thank goodness for dora the explorer and diego!
Hope you all are well and safe.
I had planned to do an hour of maintenence work on the elliptical trainer but cut it back to 45 minutes midway through because I had no energy. My orthopedist has now called me twice to reschedule my follow-up appointment for my knee, both times on the day of the appointment. How come I have to call more than 24 hours in advance to reschedule or cancel a doctor's visit if I don't want to get billed, but the doctor can call me less than 4 hours before hand and I've just got to suck it up and reschedule for some less convenient time (and arrange for class coverage, leave sub plans, etc.)?
You guys are sounding worn out and exhausted. Jay, you need to make sure you are getting your rest during this recovery week. I'm eager to get out there especially with the warmer spring weather. But last night I tweaked the soleus again, this time on the elliptical machine. I had planned to do 45 minutes, I just started getting a good sweat going at 16 minutes and I pulled it again. This machine has adjustable resistance and incline. I think the incline is what caused the soleus to tweak again. I'll have to be more careful with it next time. Tonight I'll do some core work and rest the leg.
That is annoying! A friend of mine went to a doctor recently. She heard him chatting outside her door for an hour before he came to see her. He stood in the doorway and asked her questions because he said he was allergic to the flu vaccine and couldn't afford to catch it. He sent her home with some cough medicine and didn't even listen to her lungs. I urged her to go see another DR when I could tell that she sounded like I did and it turns out she didn't even have the flu, She had pnuemonia!
Ugh. Doctors! I'm sorry Jay. That's a pain AND no good for your training. When did they re-scedule you?
Oh, it's not just Doctor's though, once I had a couple of obviously homeless, sick puppies follow me home from running and I called the animal control officer. He said he was at lunch and could I bring the dogs to him....I said "Sure, I can load up the sick puppies and my four kids and drive them downtown to where you are munching on your french fries, that will be way less effort than for you to drive up here." Thankfully, I got my way that time but we usually don't!
Again, sorry Jay. I'm glad you are listening to your body and cuttng it short. I hope it gets better for you.
Glad I'm not the only one. Yesturday I was suppose to run 5 miles. I made it two and then biked another 5 because I felt like I had no energy to run. Got a lot more sleep last night though, hopefully that did the trick.
The thing I hate about doctors is that they really don't seem like they want to spend the time to figure out whats wrong with you. Sure you have the flu or you have this or that, but what is causing it so I can prevent it from catching something like that again? Last year doctors kept giving me drugs to treat my symptoms but could not figure out what was causing the symptoms. At one point I ended up going to the hospital because my room mates found me passed out on the floor. Turns out my body fat was so low because I was so sick I couldn't eat or drink and my kidneys were failing. The doctors there made me stay the night and did all kinds of tests on me, like my original doctor should have done to begin with. It's hard to find a good doctor that actually cares it seems, which is sad. Funny part is that all I could think about was how this was going to put my training back.
Hope everyone is getting some rest.
Everyone is hurtin' !!! Jen, hope you feel better tomorrow. Jay, your Drs office is pretty messed up. I agree that they shouldnt call you FOUR hours before your appt. (My office is dental, but same thing...thats just rude....) Terry, I LOVE the eliptical! I hope you feel better soon too!!!! Nothing for me today, yesterday I only had a quick eliptical session (30 min.) Back to training on Friday....
Take care everyone!!! -A

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jul 01st, 1999
Running Time: 81
Director: Ralph Parfait
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
Cast: Brad Armstrong, Brie Ann, Kobe Tai, Shell Rene, Randi Rage, Johnni Black, Alyssa Allure, Mark Davis, Tiger Lilly
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Film
A good choice for couples, fans of the performers and those who enjoy a touch of the macabre in their blue vid specials.
Brad Armstrong plays a photographer who can't keep his clients happy, even when he only charges them a fuck for their pix. Then Kobe Tai magically appears in his groovy-dude loft with the miracle filter that will fulfill his dreams of success.
Of course there's a price. There always is a when you rent your soul to the devil. But before Brad figures out who he's doing business with, he gets to bone and ogle some pretty porn babes. Randi Rage is particularly hot in a Dom/sub girl/girl scene. An intelligent, interesting, well-acted film with good sex but a very unsatisfactory ending.

HMV suffers huge profit loss
Purveyors of UK entertainment merchandise, HMV, announced today that they've experienced huge losses over the last year, with video games specifically "underperforming."
The losses add up to £121.7 million which is a stark drop from last year's number which was a rather significant profit of £67.6m.
HMV pointed to video games specifically as one of the factors that has put them in this position, citing competition from department stores and supermarkets.
Responding to the ongoing poor performance, HMV has liquidated some of its assets by selling off Waterstones and HMV Canada.
The chain has also been able to secure bank refinancing worth £220m until 2013.

CHICAGO – Retreads from classics are often as weary as having to write that they are almost never as good as the original. And here we go again with the Ed Helms-led "Vacation," which fails to capitalize on the beloved Chevy Chase film "National Lampoon's Vacation" from 1983.

CHICAGO – Finding the adult button and hitting "on" is becoming more of a challenge as the tech generation morphs into their thirtysomething era. Comedian Nick Kroll ("Kroll Show," "The League") ponders this situation in the new film "Adult Beginners," a primer on growing up and moving on.

Expressing their comedy in different formats, these shows from rising comedians Abbi Jacobson & Ilana Glazer ("Broad City") and Nick Kroll ("Kroll Show") introduce a cable channel's audience to new talent, while nonetheless presenting a distinct contrast in creativity.

With a season premiere in which Seth Rogen plays a porno director named Dirty Randy, "The League" seems to be pushing even more envelopes as other comedies on the network ("Louie," "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") take their own boundaries further and further.

After five Wallabies were forced to leave the field through
injury during their 31 to 8 loss to the Springboks in Pretoria last
Saturday, there were concerns they would not have enough fit bodies to
choose from for their last Rugby Championship Test.
On arrival in Rosario after a day's travel from South Africa,
the Wallabies discovered that their injury situation had improved
While Berrick Barnes (punctured lung) and Adam Ashley-Cooper
(concussion) remained in South Africa, Digby Ioane (kneecap), Tatafu
Polota-Nau (shoulder) and Radike Samo (shoulder) are now expected to be
Also, forwards Sitaleki Timani and Scott Higginbotham, who missed the Springboks Test, are back in contention.
While Luke Morahan and Cadeyrn Neville have been summoned
from Australia, the most pressing Test spots that need to be filled are
fullback and in the midfield.
The Test selectors are unlikely to bring Morahan straight
back in, and are instead looking at either Harris, McCabe and Shipperley
to take over from Barnes, who will remain in South Africa until at
least the end of the week. Anthony Faingaa and Ben Tapuai are in
contention for a centre berth.
The Test team will be announced on Thursday.

I've started using a Technika LCD TV with my PC and, while it displays full OS graphics, the text that is usually displayed during boot up (with the exception of the initial BIOS screen) does not show - the screen goes blank. I can sometimes see text for a brief fraction of a second before it disappears from the screen.
The TV's on-screen display menu will also not show during times when the text does not show but it occasionally shows a "No signal" message. The OSD menu will display again as soon as the OS graphics appears.
The main problem this causes me is when I test a new graphics driver in Ubuntu and it fails I cannot see any text on the screen to type command line instructions.
From some initial research I know that video cards can output in two modes - text mode and graphics mode.
Another situation that involved a blank screen output was while playing a 3D game in full screen. I changed the game resolution mid-game and the screen went blank.
Please clarify why this problem is happening and tell me how I can use the console when the Linux graphics driver fails to load. Thanks.
UPDATE I am pretty sure it is to do with my HDTV not supporting the resolutions being used in each blanks screen scenario. Can this be fixed in Grub? See Reducing video mode switching during Linux boot. I am unsure about Grub and its settings.)
Technical info: Nvidia GeForce 9600 graphics adapter connected to a Technika LCD 32" TV via a VGA cable connected to a DVI adapter/port on the computer. My working resolution in Ubuntu is 1360x768 but according to the TV's OSD menu the TV is operating at 1280x768 resolution.

Malkin injured in Penguins' win over Red Wings
DETROIT -- Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin hurt his left leg during a 4-1 victory over Detroit Red Wings on Saturday, and the team hopes he doesn't have a long-term injury.
Malkin got tangled up with Detroit's Luke Glendening, lost balance and his left skate took the brunt of a collision with the boards behind Pittsburgh's net.
The Russian forward slowly got up and kept his left skate in the air as he was helped off the ice Saturday night. Malkin was seen walking with a noticeable limp in the team's dressing room.
"He'll get further evaluated," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said after the game.
Malkin was called for holding on the play in the third period, but couldn't serve the penalty because he was being evaluated.
Malkin had a goal and two assists in the game, giving him 601 points in his career. He ranks among NHL leaders this season with 41 points.
He will be a key player for Russia's quest to win gold in men's hockey when it hosts the Winter Olympics in two months. That might explain why Red Wings center and fellow Russian Pavel Datsyuk appeared to be waiting to talk to Malkin outside the Penguins dressing room well after Saturday night's game.
Pittsburgh defenseman Kris Letang was a late scratch before the game because of an upper-body injury and was to be evaluated along with Malkin Sunday.
"I really don't have a great idea on either," Bylsma said when asked if the players might have long-term injuries.
- Capitals 5, Flyers 4: At Washington, Alex Ovechkin scored with 48 seconds left and goalie Phillip Grubauer off for an extra attacker to cap a late three-goal rally and the Capitals went on to beat Philadelphia in a shootout.
- Lightning 3, Wings 0: At Detroit, Ben Bishop made 28 saves for his sixth career shutout and Tampa Bay beat the Red Wings.
Tyler Johnson, J.T. Brown and Teddy Purcell scored. Detroit lost its fifth in a row.
- Panthers 2, Canadiens 1: At Montreal, Jesse Winchester and Nick Bjugstad scored in a 2:27 span in the second period, and Scott Clemmensen made 17 saves in Florida's victory over the Canadiens.
- Blackhawks 3, Kings 1: At Chicago, Jonathan Toews set up two of the Blackhawks' three first-period goals, and Chicago cooled off Los Angeles in a rematch of last season's Western Conference finals.
- Jets forward Anthony Peluso, a former Erie Otters player, was suspended for three games for boarding Stars defenseman Alex Goligoski in Winnipeg's 6-4 loss to Dallas on Saturday night.
-- from wire reports
Standings, summaries, 6C
Peluso was assessed a major penalty for boarding and a game misconduct on the play in the second period.
Peluso will forfeit $8,653.86 during the ban, which was announced Sunday.

Quality is ok, not very impressive. Considering the cost, it does what it need for. Check the width of your car before buying it. It is little small for my Elantra. But since i was not much interested in spending, this is perfect for price.
I have a tan/saddle interior in my car and these looked perfect online but when i got them they were more gray than tan so i ended up putting them in another car.good price but i cant recommend them cause they're way off on the color.Double checked number and they matched so wrong ones weren't sent.
The color is darker than what the picture is I was expecting the tan color that the picture shows instead when I picked them up they where a dark tan
i will return this item.pure garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The color is more like light grey, instead of tan. Others are good.
great product for the $$$$$

ATLANTA (AP) - Prisons now have more power to charge inmates for
their medical costs while behind bars.
Gov. Sonny Perdue signed a measure into law Tuesday that allows
state and county corrections officials to draw up regulations to deduct the money for some medical costs from inmates accounts.
It excludes costs related to pregnancies and chronic illnesses,
which include diabetes, cancer and renal disease.
Prisons are constitutionally required to provide medical care to inmates.
But the measure's sponsors say it is designed to help offset soaring prison medical costs for those inmates able to pay.

Overseas Births, Marriages and Deaths: Records in The National Archives
There is no single place to find all the birth, marriage and death records of the British overseas. However, The National Archives holds a substantial number of them, in a variety of record collections. This talk looks at civilian and military registers kept by the British authorities, and by churches, consulates and other bodies abroad. Please note that this talk does not include events at sea, which are the subject of a separate talk. Speaker Keith Mitchell joined The National Archives ten years ago and specialises in overseas birth, marriage and death records.
Over 162,000 British and Irish convicts were transported to Australia between 1787 and 1868. This talk explores the reasons behind the policy of transportation and looks at the experiences of the people who were shipped beyond the seas, using case studies from the archives.

If Captain Kirk were a (slutty) chick... Green wrap-around tunic w/ Tutorial
Clothing: Completed Projects: General
on: August 07, 2007 11:11:12 AM
Finally got this project checked off the list! The fabric wasnt quite a match, but it will have to do I drafted the pattern myself (using a blouse pattern I had as a basis).
I would recommend taking cup/bust size into account when drafting your pattern. I, apparently, failed to do so and its a little more revealing than I had intended. Also, I probably could have tried harder to make it lie flat.
These were the photos I had to work from:
-1-2 yds green fabric (velour or knit) to match (sort of)
-black fabric for facing (depends upon length of wrap around piece)
-gold bias tape (I used single-fold)
-gold rick rack
-gold fabric (scrap)
-button, snap or hook neye if desired/needed
-green thread
-gold thread
-fusible interfacing
-scrap of quilt batting
My original (and flawed) idea sketch (not that it hadn't been done before...). I did color it green, for some reason the scanner only picked up the yellow.
(note: many steps can be done in different order. I chose this order so I did not have to change thread so often. Also: sorry, my camera is wonky so some of the photos didn't save/download properly-so some steps are missing photo accompaniment).
1. Draft pattern:
-right side (goes under left)
-left side with belt feature
-sleeves (I used pre-existing pattern, one that looked like they weren't so puffy/gathered)
-back (from the pattern I used as a basis for what I drafted-it's easier than measuring and thinking about the shoulder and arm proportions)
-facing (back, right, left)
-trek logo/command emblem
2. Cut pieces out
-green fabric (velour): right front, left front, back, sleeves
-black facing: right, left, back facing pieces
-interfacing: right, left, back facing pieces
-gold: emblem/command dealie (becomes belt fastener)
3. Iron on interfacing to facing
4. Mark/sew darts if desired (original design probably doesnt have darts, but will be slightly more flattering for womans adaptation.).
Press towards center.
5. Sew shoulder and side seams. Press open.
6. Sew facing pieces together. (should be opposite of shirt pieces because they line the top).
7. Attach gold bias tape to facing on edge that will be sewn into seam with tunic. Stitch near edge, then again further in.
8. With right sides together, pin facing to tunic. Stitch between two lines of stitching done in step 7.
9. Press facing down so that the gold and part of the black is visible along collar and upper portion of tunic. Try on to figure out where the two front pieces should/will meet/overlap. Mark. From this point and below facing should not be visible (at least its not in any of the photos I found).
You can either:
a. try to press facing under with iron.
b. Stitch again, this time to the inside (away from the edge) of all previous stitching. Then press facing.
10. The facing needs to be secured. I chose to do a top stitch (although it doesnt looked like one was used in a few of the photos I found). Tacking it is another option and still may be necessary in some places.
11. Stitch side seams of sleeves. Attach sleeves (with right sides of sleeves and shirt together). Hem cuffs
12. Hem bottom of shirt and belt.
Hem flap edge of the right front piece.
13. Attach Velcro to edge of right front piece (that you just hemmed).
14. Determine placement of Velcro on inside left of shirt (probably near seam) to match up with Velcro on right front piece. Stitch into place.
15. If desired/necessary, determine positioning of another piece of Velcro/button/snap/hook n eye where front pieces meet/overlap. Attach said fastener.
16. Cut out two pieces of gold fabric for belt emblem (1/4 larger than width of belt) as well as interfacing and one of batting/fleece. Fuse interfacing to wrong sides of gold pieces. Baste batting to wrong side of one piece. On the other, attach a strip of Velcro. With right sides together, stitch around outside of gold pieces, leaving bottom open.
Turn and press. Trim bottom to gold fabric.
17. Insert belt into emblem. Zigzag stitch (or appliqué).
18. Determine placement of complementary Velcro piece (to belt on left front piece).
19. Apply rick rack to sleeves (I sewed this by hand. It was easier for me to do so.)
20. Feel like a geek (but a fashionable one?).

Front: I laminated the outside pieces so that they're much more durable! Afterward, I embroidered around the "Barge" with red rayon embroidery floss, and used white 3-d craft paint to outline other portions as well as adding a series of red dots in 3-d paint, just for added decor.
Back: I cut the picture out and used Heat'n'bond to attach it to the nebula background (I used for two of the sides and the entire lining-a national geographic map of Orion's nebula). I think I am out of star fields now...uh oh. The words "Dead" were actually on the back of the picture i cut out (opposite of the page I used for the front) so I had to trace them, transfer them onto sparkly red scrapbook paper, put heat'n'bond on it, cut them out and adhere them to the piece.
Side: another sequence of pictures from the spread.
Side: Strip from the Nebula map with embroidered makers mark inside Federation emblem.
The handles are wire with beads. I curled the ends so they wouldn't poke through and duct-taped them to the inside of the lining so they wouldn't tear out.
Uh...other technical stuff...hm...
I again, attached fusible interfacing to all of the pieces for strength and to make them flexible and durable enough to sew. The lining pieces were all machine basted to the outside pieces before I sewed the bag together by hand with red embroidery floss.
What do you think?

HELP! Fabric Match? (Trekkies' advice needed especially)
Clothing: Discussion and Questions
on: July 23, 2007 09:37:57 PM
First off, yes, I am aware that this a totally geeky thing to do, but when trying to create a replica of Kirk's green wrap-around tunic (as women's sweater) I have become determined that the material needs to match, or at least look right.
That being said, HELP ME!
In my research (yes, research has been done), I have discovered that the uniforms were made from a velour for the first two seasons. I assume (correctly?) this includes the green wrap-around tunic.
Previously, I had simply been looking at knits, and ordered one type, which was "olive" and too dark. Hence, I believe the proper colour would be a "lime" green?
But I believe that a shiny velour is not correct. I have found a lime green matte velour, but am still not sure it is correct...
^Points to Kirk with said coveted wrap-around tunic
Archer wearing similar uniform
Also, I was wondering if anyone known whether the tunic wraps all the way around the back and fastens on the front left side with the gold assignment patch? I cannot find a good picture of the left side or back.

Furry Hat w/Earflaps to go with 3rd Rock Harry Coat
Clothing: Completed Projects: General
on: July 10, 2007 08:22:21 PM
My mom helped me make a replica of Harry's coat from 3rd Rock from the Sun (remember that hilarious show?) and yesterday I made a hat with earflaps from the leftovers (that have been sitting around for a couple, possibly three years) with the aide of this tutorial:
I fashioned these pieces instead, favoring a wrap around earflap:
A quick snuggle before I cut up the fabric bit (I do have even more stored away...I'm thinking vest)
And it's reversible!
And here is the
Harry Coat
(which just happens to be my single most favourite possession):
Here the protoype, the inspiration, that ever favourite alien of mine, Harry "the Transmitter" Solomon as played by French Stewart, Master of Squintiness.
Posing Like Harry:
The Materials: Faux Fur of grayish persuasion and Red Quilted Lining:
Various Poses:
Hood Down
Hood Up
From the Back
And for those Inside-Out feeling kind of days:
What's That On The Horizon?
I am so sad that it is packed away for winter...
(oh and a word on my mom's absolute genius. This coat was made based on a pattern for a single layer hooded fleece zip up with no pockets. She had to figure out how to attach the lining so that it could still be turned and all the seams are hidden, as well as adding pockets in the side, which you can't see because of the furriness. This was before I really got into sewing clothing and the like, so she did most of the work on the coat.)

Hand-painted Trekkie Dress (and two more)
Clothing: Completed Projects: General
on: July 07, 2007 07:04:56 PM
I thought up this one quite a while ago, but it took me some time to get around to executing. I was just thinking that why couldn't Trekkies be fashionable (even if our tastes are generally somewhat off from everyone else's)? We're not all 300 pound male computer nerds, after all...
I bought three yards of plain white cotton, made a stencil, got some pretty nifty fabric paint (softer than the normal, stiff acrylic craft paint), and went to town. I added details to random bits with gold puffy paint, just for some shiny!
Picture of part of fabric before snippy-snippy.
Then it was time to cut my pattern out of it. EEP! It was the hardest part, cutting up all my hours of work. I just tried not to think about it. It was for the greater good anyway.
Close-up of fabric with ruler, for scale.
I completely lined the dress, although the pattern (New Look #6557, if I remember correctly) only called for the bodice to be lined (to which I added double layers) because the fabric was rather thin. I also added the tulle (attached to the lining) to match the ribbon that serve as the halter straps. The extra decorative ribbon was my addition as well, just because.
I think it turned out well.
I've made two other dresses from this pattern, also rather nice.
This was the first one I made, to attend a friend's wedding. Everything, including the pattern, zipper and hook and eyes only cost $12! YAY Walmert $1/yd fabric. (My shoes were more expensive, but now I don't need to buy any fancy ones for a long time).
It looks like a halter, but the straps attach to the back.
Wow, I look severely pissed...sorry.
This is the second one I made with this pattern, a halter, but I don't especially like going braless, so you can see my green straps (but the green matches!). This was also made from cheap fabric, this time from Jo-Ann Fabrics. It's a heavier weave and an awesome print.
I didn't mean to look like a saloon girl here, I just wanted to show the tulle I sewed into the skirt to make it poofy and fifties style.
I think I shall use this pattern many more times. A very good investment, it was, and easy to alter in any way I desired so far.

Queen of the Deck (of cards)
on: July 01, 2007 07:46:54 PM
My tiara turned into more of a crown, I hope it still counts...But it was fun to make nonetheless!
The base for the crown/tiara was some leftover boning (from a dress I made) wrapped with red embroidery floss. I also used a deck of cards (not all 52, though), craft paint, red tulle, and a glue gun for assembly (because I couldn't figure out how to sew it together).
I kind of went picture crazy, because I couldn't quite capture it correctly.
Front, with slightly askew tiara/crown.
Mirror shot with more centered crown.
Back, close-up
Veil, laid out sort of flat.
Detail of veil decoration (I cut pieces out of the cards, decorated some with craft paint and attached them to the veil).
Tiara/Crown part not on my head.

1930s-Style Shrug-Thing
Clothing: Completed Projects: General
on: June 30, 2007 07:19:04 PM
I made this to go with my bridesmaid dress (out of the leftovers...mmm, leftovers...)
It's from Simplicity #4270, but the dress pattern itself is obviously not from the same vintage 30s pack.
It gathers around the collar and at the buttons (getting the gathers to lie correctly between the collar and where the decorative buttons go was/is somewhat problematic).

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Playful Planetoid Purse
Purses, Bags, Wallets: Completed Projects: General
on: June 16, 2007 01:14:59 PM
This could possibly be the single most raddest thing I've ever made.
I was inspired by the cover art of Douglas Adam's
The More Than Complete Hitchhiker's Guide
which I took out of the local library.
It's a wee bit sloppy, but not bad for entirely winging it!
Detail of appliqued face.
Lining material
Me modeling it!
I put some stencil plastic in between the lining and outside to strengthen it and it has a seven inch zipper at the top to close it. The arms/straps are attached with matching green buttons, again to give strength to them.

Because completing the triangle gives you the best feeling in the world!
Front or back...With pocket made out of logo from the cover of the comic book.
Back or front...doesn't matter I guess.
Detail of back with hand embroidery in blue and gold.
The handles are made from wire wrapped with blue yarn and accented with blue and yellow beads.
I used fusible interfacing to strengthen the paper before sewing (both with machine and by hand). It is also lined with pages from the comic book.
The comic book was quite worn, but of the awesome original Sonic look (as opposed to the new anime stuff, which I don't really care for...they sadly did the same to the beloved TMNT).

The list of "common words" includes entertainment and hobbies - both coming in around 995 times each. The most common word is product at 1012 times.
Product I can see - it's a shopping site so Product is in the URL for all the products in the store.
But I'm fairly confident the words entertainment and hobbies do not appear anywhere on the site.
It's a site that sells art papers, targeted towards artists and crafters. Is Relevanssi pulling in synonyms for that?
I don't have any synonyms set up (because I'm using "AND" as the criteria).

The answer to the world's biggest problems doesn't lie in any one discipline, be it biology or public health, sociology or medicine. Rather, big problems require big thinkers, people who bring the best insights from a wide spectrum of human knowledge.
Bridging disciplines and training a new generation of cross-specialty collaborators are the goals of Johns Hopkins' new Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships, funded a year ago by alumnus Michael R. Bloomberg, class of 1964. Over the next five years, 50 world-class scholars will be appointed to the professorships; each will be a part of two or more schools and divisions, conduct interdisciplinary research aligned with the university's signature initiatives, and teach undergraduates as well as other students across the university.
As President Ronald J. Daniels and Provost Robert C. Lieberman wrote in a recent campuswide email announcing the first three BDP appointments, "This university is committed, as much or more than any other, to assembling experts from divergent disciplines to attack humanity's most important problems from every angle."
Appointing the first three scholars to these prestigious endowed chairs, says Barbara Landau, vice provost for faculty affairs, is the first step "to putting in place very, very distinguished faculty whose passion, their work, their teaching all revolve around problems that can be solved by bringing together a variety of disciplines."
The first crop of BDPs includes two Nobel laureates at Johns Hopkins, Peter Agre and Carol Greider; and world-renowned sociologist Kathryn Edin, a former Harvard professor who joined the Johns Hopkins faculty in January and has an ongoing Baltimore-based program of research.
As one of the nation's leading poverty researchers, sociologist Kathryn Edin provides a glimpse into low-income America: How do single mothers survive on welfare, and why don't more of them work? Where are the fathers, and why do they disengage from their children's lives? Can their lives change as a result of welfare reform? Edin comes to Johns Hopkins from Harvard University—where she was a professor of public policy and chair of the Multidisciplinary Program in Inequality and Social Policy—for a Bloomberg Distinguished Professorship that spans the disciplines of sociology and public health.
The two disciplines may seem disparate, but according to Katherine Newman, dean of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, "the field of public health always involved sociology because it's looking at antecedent conditions that lead to health issues: households, family structure, race inequalities … all of that contributes to inequality in health outcomes."
Edin, who moved to Baltimore in August and in February was named a fellow of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, has already made a splash in Washington, D.C., anti-poverty policy circles: Since assuming her position at Hopkins on Jan. 1, she's briefed the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, met with the President's Council of Economic Advisers, spoken to Rep. Nancy Pelosi's staff, and had dinner with Sen. Elizabeth Warren to talk about family policy. But despite the time she's spent in D.C., she's ready to make her new home in Baltimore and at Johns Hopkins.
She's already been conducting research here since the 1990s, collaborating with Stefanie DeLuca, an associate professor of sociology, on a major project to study intergenerational poverty among Baltimore's African-American young adults. They started two decades ago, following the families of 150 children under the age of 7 as they grew up in the inner city. Now these children are young adults. "Some now fit the stereotype of The Wire. The surprise is that most do not. Many are trying to make it in the way that we want them to make it: get jobs, support families, avoid welfare," she says. "A striking number strive to be conventional, just like kids in the suburbs. They have very much the same aspirations."
It's a neat tie-in to her work at Hopkins, which includes taking a lead role in the university's Institute for the American City, a new cross-disciplinary initiative designed to tackle the world's most pressing urban problems. "There's so much happening at Hopkins," she says. "The Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships can bring vital new talent to an already world-class university. And Baltimore is a wonderful city for researchers like me, who are committed to finding solutions to some of the most morally urgent social problems of our time. For all these years, I've been doing research and getting ideas about what might work to make the lives of the poor better. Baltimore is a great place to put wheels on those ideas and see how they work.

Calif. police policy of killing animals at range under fire
Officers often take severely injured animals to the shooting range to put them out of their misery quickly
CBS Sacramento
MERCED, Calif. — Animal lovers are questioning a policy where Merced Police officers take injured animals out to the police shooting range to kill them.
The penal code has been on the books for decades. Some officers say it's the most humane thing you can do, while others call it barbaric.
According to a California penal code, it's an officer's discretion, saying in part: "…any officer… may, with the approval of his or her immediate superior, humanely destroy any abandoned animal in the field in any case where the animal is too severely injured to move or where a veterinarian is not available and it would be more humane to dispose of the animal."

Terry and Vidic out
JT has just been sent off for a "cynical" foul on Jo. He wasn't the last defender. The commentators say they think it should have been a yellow.
Vidic was yellow carded for a similar challenge in the Liverpool match. Consistency? However Vidic was subsequently booked again so off he went.
Neither play next week.

So now I'll take your opinion with a pinch of salt from here on.
It all adds up now.

I question Terry's red card because I see challenges like that in many matches and it is a standard yellow card. The Vidic challenge was worse and it got a yellow. The MotD commentators agree with me. The 5-live radio commentators agree with me. You may sneer about me being a Chelsea supporter if you like, but they aren't and if you think that Chelsea supporters can't stand up for their club on these boards then I wonder what you think the boards are for.

Well as a Utd fan hate to say but Vid should have gone for the first,and Hanson&Lawre,if they said a yellow ,i disagree as the player was through to the goal,they should have got the same ban's,anyway at the mo ,your lot manage with a player out,where as we seem to fall apart........
Terry should be sent off first half.

Terry had to go so did Vidic..
MotD agree. Terry's was a yellow. Vidic's was maybe a yellow, maybe a red. Vidic's tackle was worse than Terry's through being more of a goal-scoring opportunity and more dangerous (kicking his ankles).
The irony is that Vidic even with his second yellow just misses one game. Terry misses three as Halsey deems it "serious foul play". Bad decision, and bad decisions can cost points. And what do points mean?
seven of eleven seven of eleven Sep 14, 2008 02:48 Flag
The commentators are clearly Chelski supporters, J.T might not have been the last man but clearly pulled Jo back when he was through on goal even though he had a way to go.....definate red card

Isn't that similar to what Vidic got his first yellow for?

This is very good. It didn't say when you should add the chile so I added with the tomatoes and anchovies as that where it was on the ingredients. It was flavourful and light, thought I think I will use more anchovies next time because I like a stronger anchovy flavour in my Puttanesca sauce. Thanks for sharing.
This couldn't be any easier. Very tasty and it was a hit with my family. Made for ZWT4 for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers.
This one is so easy to put together! Perfect for a busy night when you want to get dinner on the table fast. I added a bit of oregano and topped it with grated Parmesan. Made for ZWT 4 by a jefe de la cocina.
This was great. Friday's are heavier teaching days for me than most, and it was nice to put this delicious pasta together so fast. My kids loved it, too. Thanks.

Band history still to come.
More Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
Purveyors of Black Metal filth BEHERIT return circa 1993 to release what would be the Finn's last Metal album. Many would later laud this as the band's best work boasting of the harsh atmosphere bleeding forth agony and pain. I do not buy the notion of focused genius many have claimed resides in this disk. I believe this album served as a bridge which would carry Nuclear Holocausto across the dangerous waters acting as a barrier between Metal and ambience. Dangerous waters indeed, as many have crossed to never be heard from again. So what ultimate purpose does this disk serve and does it offer us something special and unique? The answer is both yes and no.
"The Oath Of Black Blood" was a magnificent album. BEHERIT laid down the framework of textbook raw Black Metal. It featured intense speed, skull-splitting vocals which slapped a straight-jacket around the listener and held such a unique atmosphere one would be hard-pressed to find an album quite like it. "Drawing Down The Moon" attempts the aforementioned lofty goal but trips and fumbles upon itself long before ever completing its journey.
The first odd sign that this album is going in an altogether different direction is the quirky synth intro which tricked me into believing I was listening to "Daudi Baldrs". Not long after, the ominous distorted vocals kick in lifting the atmosphere into a pleasurable realm of evil and hate. By the time "Salomon's Gate" vomits from the speakers my interest is truly piqued. The first track provides a solid chunk of Black Metal with a mid-paced tempo (which already is a bad sign if you enjoyed "The Oath…"). When Nuclear Holocausto greets us once again I am pleased to find those trademark vocals which conjure up feelings of death and dismay. The disappointment does not come until later when we discover he must have left the diversity and perversity of his performance on the previous album in his other suit (sic). He still sounds grim, just not so unique anymore. Where are those high pitched shrieking screams combined with the thick accented growls? That is what made Holocausto so identifiable and mind-blowing. It was not a good sign early as I could tell by the second track he had taken a slightly different approach to his vocal work.
The guitar-tone is still bone-crushingly solid and provides the staple diet of plenty of fuzz and distortion which is essential to a Black Metal recording. It is also necessary to recognize that BEHERIT's songwriting ability has increased. I suspect it is due to musical maturity and practice but these guys have come a long way. They seem to have mastered the ability to implement subtle mood-altering techniques through riff and tempo changes. The riffs utilized throughout the album are top-notch and a step above their previous work, but are unable to be given life due to the lack of intensity and aggression. If these guys would have utilized the speed and anger of "The Oath…" then this very well could have been the masterpiece looming on the horizon. Sadly the compositions are only allowed to truly shine in a couple of the early tracks which feature mid-paced slabs of raw evilness.
I must ask; where are the hellish solos which reeked of filth and intensity? Were they not evil enough or perhaps they did not fit in with the ambient direction Holocausto was taking this band? Either way a dimension of BEHERIT had been lost forever which I for one enjoyed. It may not be cult and true, but the solos were an interesting facet of this band and I think by removing them, they may just have removed one of the building blocks of the foundation of this band's originality.
The uniqueness of this album lies in its awkwardness. One does not need to take a close examination of the record to notice all the bizarre ambience and electronic sampling which drags this album into oblivion. Some of it works (the sounding of horns in "Salomon's Gate") but much of it doesn't. The eerie choir-like vocals of "Nocturnal Evil" and at the beginning of "Black Arts" do add a flair of mood but that mood refuses to be sustained when you arrive at the tracks "Nuclear Girl" and "Summerlands". "Nuclear Girl" first sails by barely sustained by an ocean of electronic ambience fluttering through its sails which ultimately chokes and dies. "Summerlands", in a similar vein, implements the sounds of…you guessed it, summer. Birds chirping and weird nature wounds may have worked for NOKTURNAL MORTUM but they do not work here. All the dread and cold depravity which had built inside me from the hate-filled tracks on this record quickly vanished and had me going, "…the Hell is that?"
Flaws aside, this album does have merit. It is obvious Nuclear Holocausto and co. were spinning their Black Sabbath records as this piece mixes a fair blend of doomy riffs with the varying quality of ambience throughout. Listen to this in the dark and it will inspire terror. With that being said, the feelings projected on the listener through the ambience and droning guitar melodies have been done much better by BEHERIT's peers. I would take BURZUM, post "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss", or Velvet Cacoon over this release any day. I simply do not understand all the hype this album has received and it in no way lived up to my expectations. That spark of energy and evil seeping from the filthy pores of "The Oath Of Black Blood" seems to have gone and run away on the chaps (Perhaps Holocausto's vocals scared it away). Simply put, this is inferior to the Finns previous outing and they just did not bring their A game to the studio. (Online May 18, 2005)
