very cool! and very nice of your jeans and skirt!
oooo pretty
I love the originality of this piece. It's cute, creative, and clever. I also like the 2D versus 3D aspect of it, which makes it that much more fun to look at.
I love this! I especially like how you incorporate the paper doll and paper crane into a mutual 2D/3D environment. Just awesome!
Looks great! I've never thought to colour the cranes like that! Love it!
I like the background, too!

ok this isnt really about that but i figured if you knew enough about chess to know of that opening you would know which openings are best for amateur attacking players. let me here which openings you recommend me studying! thanks.
I read it was invented by polish and russia chess players, more for fun as a novelty,not quite for real game against advanced players. One of these players was Xavery Tartakower. But I dont remember where I read it.
Certainly the Sicilan Defence:
1.e4 c5
The Queen's Gambit:
1.d4 d5
And maybe the English Opening:
Every amateur chess player believes he is an "attacking player", whatever that is, and the goal of every opening is to eventually get an attack, so everybody is just going to throw out some random openings in this thread.
I have found that if you play good chess (develop pieces, try to fight for the center, look for enemy plots and counter them...) the attacks will be there when you need them. If not, at least you won't lose. The opening is fairly irrelevant.
I recommend studying no openings at all for now- just the generic opening principles and strategy. There are way more important things to do at the early phase of learning chess.
well 4 out 5 good responses is better than what i expected. thanks all!and to the guy who forgot he also was once an "amateur attacking player,whatever that is":
If I'm not wrong, Tartakower called it when he had a match or tourney in my beloved Indonesia, as he saw it when he was at a zoo the day before.1. b4!
The version of this I've heard goes like this: Tartokower went to the zoo and asked the orangutang what opening he should play in the game tomorrow. The orangutang then climbed halfway up the left hand side of his cage - and Tartokwer took this to mean 1.b4!
Could be true, who knows. But the move was known before then, he just gave it that name. Some people call it the Polish opening.
Maybe our opinions are better combined, as orangutans are only found in tropical countries.
I believe Orang-utan means, literally, "man of the forest" in Indonesian.
I don't think they play chess very well though, but they can rip your arms out if you take a pawn.
But actually what you said is true.
Afterward Tartakower asked the Tiger what move he should play. The Tiger lunged at him and so Tartakower promoted his pawn on move 1.

Every man has a right to risk his own life for the preservation of it.
Jacques Rousseau (1712 - 1778)
Source: The Social Contract, 1762
Contributed by: Zaady
He who is the most slow in making a promise is the most faithful in the performance of it.
People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little.
Living is not breathing but doing.
Everything is good when it leaves the hands of the Creator; everything degenerates in the hands of man.
Good laws lead to the making of better ones; bad ones bring about worse.
Gratitude is a duty which ought to be paid, but which none have a right to expect.
Supreme happiness consists in self-content.
Hatred, as well as love, renders its votaries credulous.
An honest man nearly always thinks justly.

Anchorage the first night at Santa Cruz Island, CA on our way to Santa Rosa Island, CA.
KS7DX - The RigBlaster had a power supply issue which is why the cover is off. Note the duct tape which was part of the repair!
KS7DX - two versions of WSJT running - V7 on the left and V9 on the right. The Icom 706MKiiG is running hf and 2 meters. The 6 meter antenna is in use on the upper deck which is why there is an open port on the Bird wattmeter.
KS7DX - power supplies and a few wires!
KS7DX - modified TE amp under the cooling fan running 600 watts for WSJT modes.
K7BV operating position.
K7BV - Acom amp running 700 watts SSB/CW.
M2 6M7JHV assembled and ready to be raised. Once it was raised we determined imediately that it wasn't going to work well because of the constant rolling of the boat so we replaced it with our spare 3 element.
The waves don't look like much but they are running roughly 1 foot so the boat is constantly in motion.

There are two men on each side of the bow communicationg with the bridge because the captain cannot see the actual bow.
The tugboat on the stern has cables attached to the container ship and acts as the brakes.

From Wikiquote
Prosperity refers to states of flourishing, thriving, good fortune, or successful social status, which often involve measurable wealth but also includes others factors which can be independent of this to varying degrees, such as happiness and health.
A – B – C – D – E – F – G – H – I – J – K – L – M – N – O – P – Q – R – S – T – U – V – W – X – Y – Z – See also – External links
- Prosperity seems to be scarcely safe, unless it be mixed with a little adversity.
- Hosea Ballou, Treasury of Thought.
- ...abused prosperity is oftentimes made the very means of our greatest adversity...
- Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe (1719).
- It is best for all to leave each man free to acquire property as fast as he can. Some will get wealthy. I don't believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich; it would do more harm than good. So while we do not propose any war upon capital, we do wish to allow the humblest man an equal chance to get rich with everybody else. When one starts poor, as most do in the race of life, free society is such that he knows he can better his condition; he knows that there is no fixed condition of labor, for his whole life. I am not ashamed to confess that twenty-five years ago I was a hired laborer, mauling rails, at work on a flat-boat, just what might happen to any poor man's son! I want every man to have the chance, and I believe a black man is entitled to it, in which he can better his condition. When he may look forward and hope to be a hired laborer this year and the next, work for himself afterward, and finally to hire men to work for him! That is the true system.
- Abraham Lincoln, "Allow the humblest man an equal chance" speech (6 March 1860) at New Haven, Connecticut.
- Surer to prosper than prosperity could have assur'd us.
- John Milton, Paradise Lost (1667; 1674), Book II, line 39.
- I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money.
- Barack Hussein Obama II, speech on Wall Street reform at Quincy (28 April 2010), Illinois
- There shall be in England seven halfpenny loaves sold for a penny: the three-hooped pot shall have ten hoops; and I will make it felony to drink small beer.
- William Shakespeare, Henry VI, Part II (1590-91), Act IV, scene 2, line 70.
- Prosperity's the very bond of love.
- William Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale (c. 1610-11), Act IV, scene 4, line 584.
- Of course sanctions have a negative effect on the economy, but the main cause of Cuban poverty is communist economics. Every communist country in the history of the world has been impoverished. It's a bankrupt system that has never worked and never can work. Here's just one reason why. The United States has a minimum wage while Cuba has a maximum wage. And that maximum wage is a paltry 20 dollars a month. No one can get ahead. It's impossible. It's illegal. When prosperity is a crime, there can be no prosperity, and that's entirely the fault of Cuba's communist party.
- Michael J. Totten, "In Cuba, Prosperity is a Crime" (22 March 2016), World Affairs Journal
- Oh, how portentous is prosperity!
How comet-like, it threatens while it shines.
- Edward Young, Night Thoughts (1742-1745), Night V, line 915
Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations[edit]
- Quotes reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 637-38.
- In rebus prosperis, superbiam, fastidium arrogantiamque magno opere fugiamus.
- In prosperity let us most carefully avoid pride, disdain, and arrogance.
- Cicero, De Officiis (44 B.C.), I. 26.
- Ut adversas res, secundas immoderate ferre, levitatis est.

I'm in the process of developing a photon-like upload mechanism for Picasa. Okay, now that I have your attention...
metaweblog.newMediaObject function appears to be broken in WP 2.0, which is what I'm primarily developing on. It doesn't have the function
wp_upload_dir(), which I assume is because of the new paradigm for uploads associated with posts. At any rate, it's broken.
On WP 1.5.1, the
newMediaObject call goes through okay, and it saves a file on the other end, but it doesn't seem to be base64-decoding it.
Are these issues with know workarounds?

I am using ColdFusion for for a project and I have a written a query which I think can be faster using a Stored Proc, but I not a T-SQL person, so I am not sure how to do it to compare.
I am running an initial query which selects a number of fields from a table based on a dynamically built cfquery. I think I know how to convert this query into the MS SQL store proc. However, directly after that, I then take all of the primary key IDs from that query and run another query against a separate table that "locks" records with those IDs. The lock is a bit field (a flag) in the second table that tells the system that this record is "checked out". I have wrapped both queries in a cftransaction so that they execute as a unit.
Code Overview:
<cfquery name="selectQuery">
SELECT id, field2, field3
FROM table1
WHERE (bunch of conditions here)
<cfquery name="updateQuery">
UPDATE table2
SET lockField = 1
WHERE table2.id IN (#ValueList(selectQuery.id#)
I then return the selectQuery resultset to my app which uses it for outputing some data. How would I accomplish the same thing in a single MS SQL 2008 StoredProc that I could call using cfstoredproc? Again, I am thinking that the native CF way (with cfquery) is not a efficient as a stored proc since I have to retrieve the resultset back to CF, then call another query back to the DB. A single stored proc does everything in the DB and then returns the original query resultset for use.
Any ideas?

Original Music by

First let me say i am a fan of Yasuaki Kurata. I am not a fan of this
TV series by him. I disappointed of the fight scenes, sound effects in
the fights and the silly undercranking they sometimes use in the fight
scenes. You also get the same song each time a fight scenes occurs. You
get tired of it after a couple episodes.
This stories are also very repetitive in my opinion. I mean in story wise. This series won't wind any awards for stories, acting and fight choreography. I think the fights which have like 3-5 fights in each episode, looks not good. I think the choreography looks too simple most of the time.
You can see in nearly every fight that Kurata doesn't connect the punches and kicks to the villains. Didn't they have monitors back in the 70's? Maybe not, but they clearly had dailies to watch so they should have re-shot figths that you could clearly see that Kurata didn't really hit that person, just the air. I won't watch this again. This series is not recommended by me unless you like simple choreography and disappointing fight scenes.

MOSCOW (AP) -- Police have detained opposition activists to prevent them from protesting in central Moscow against the Kremlin's stifling of democratic freedoms.
An Associated Press reporter saw 10 to 15 demonstrators hustled
onto police buses.
Organizers had not received permission to hold the protest, the
latest in a series held at the end of every month with 31 days.
The number corresponds with Article 31 of the Russian Constitution,
which guarantees freedom of assembly.
Small protests also were held Saturday in other Russian cities.
These protests are separate from the demonstrations that have
drawn tens of thousands to demand free elections and an end to
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's rule.

This little shoeless cutie went on a stroll with her mom through New York City this morning. You probably don't recognize her, so allow me to give you a few clues. Then, if you still haven't guessed, you need a Celebrity Parents 101 refresher. 1) Her dad is an award-winning stage actor. 2) He also played a lovable, rule-breaking teenager in a classic, iconic film many moons ago. 3) This little lady has a twin sister. 4) Her mother is known for her shoes, her hair and a character she brought to life on both the small and big screens. You can see a glimpse of her chin right here in the photo! Okay, we know you know. Take a look at another picture of baby and mom next.
It's either Tabitha or Marion Broderick. Sorry I can't be more specific…

Next tie 13-16 July 2016
UAE will compete in Asia/Oceania Zone Group IV in 2016 for the second straight year.
Last tie 27 April-2 May 2015
UAE failed to secure an immediate Group III return after they were edged out by Pacific Oceania in a tight promotion play-off. In the group stage, they were perfect through the opening three ties, recording 3-0 wins over Kyrgyzstan, Bangladesh and Oman. However, in a clash for top spot in Pool B, they were beaten 2-1 by Singapore, meaning they had to take on top-seeded Pacific Oceania in the promotion play-offs. After losing the deciding doubles rubber of tie, they will play in Group IV once again in 2016.
UAE first played Davis Cup in 1993 and its best performance came in 2002, when it finished third in Asia/Oceania Zone Group III.

My school never offered any programming classes but I took all the computer classes I could. For the past year I have been teaching myself programming in hopes of getting good enough at it that I could get a job doing it some day. I started with C++ but then gravitated towards Java and that's what I've been mainly learning this past year. I have learned a bit about other languages like PHP, HTML, C#, XML, Javascript, and a few others. I don't really want to LEARN a new language though until I feel I'm comfortable with Java I can use it to do anything I want. If you have tips, suggestions, or useful information that could help me as a beginning programmer it would be awesome if you could send me it. ^_^

text: Dubai linked with $500m bid for England's most Jewish football clubEnglish football fans are used to foreign owners - eight clubs in the Premier League are owned by foreigners - but few would have linked Tottenham, a club identified with strong Jewish links, with a possible takeover from Dubai. Tottenham's board is in talks with a Dubai syndicate, and values the club at $500m. It says Joe Lewis, head of the ENIC investment group which owns 82 per cent of the north London club, wants to sell. Lewis lost $800m from his personal fortune following the collapse of American investment bank Bear Stearns earlier this year. With no confirmation from the seller, and the identity of the Dubai syndicate unknown, it is unclear whether the story is much more than 'Dubai investors have money + Dubai likes football + Tottenham owner needs money = sale'. Tottenham, on the periphery of England's top four clubs, have a strong Jewish connection. The clubs fans refer to themselves as the 'Yid Army'. The board includes several Jewish members.Two years ago, Emirates, which sponsors Arsenal, Tottenham's North London rivals, was dismayed when Arsenal signed a deal to promote Israel as a tourist destination."This is unfortunate and we are obviously not happy," Mike Simon, Emirates' senior vice-president for Corporate Communications, told Gulf News. "We were informed about it. We are only sponsors for the stadium and their shirts. But we have an agreement that bars Arsenal from signing other airlines. Beyond that we do not have any say on their deals."

I do website work, but I'm kind of a WordPress noob. I have a question and want to know if there is a plugin to do what I'd like to do, or if there's a method to do it.
I currently using this plugin that lets me insert templates (a bunch of html) into pages.
I want to make a template that can update itself after it's already been inserted into a page. Reason is that I will be using this template on 30+ pages. If I want to change the style of the template, I want to do it on all 30+ pages that contain this template.
I think it could be done with with some PHP INCLUDE... and maybe PHP GET_DATA, but I wanted to ask you all if you had any better ideas. Thank you.

i am using Excel 2007 for displaying results of various queries i get from TOAD/Oracle. suddendly it dawned on me that the Auto Calculations on the bottom status bar are not working, although everything that should be ticked is ticked and configured.
when writing arbitrary numbers in ANOTHER new sheet (of the same document) and selecting the corresponding cells, the sum is displayed and is correct
I spent a frustrating hour searching everywhere why is that happening, enabling/disabling add-ons and options and decided to ask a question here.
I came to the conclusion that something is definitely wrong with the FORMAT of the data in the cells, or the way TOAD exports them.

The apartment is well equipped and quickly makes one feel home. Debbie was a very welcoming host and was available for all questions. We did have problems with the heating, as there is only one control for the whole house, but we managed to get over it. The neighbourhood with its lovely victorian-style houses was nice and it was a pleasure to discover new places for coffee or lunch on our way to the different subway stations, that are all reachable in 10-15 min walk. From our door to real downtown it took us app. 40 min. We stayed here (2 adults, 1 teen) for 2 weeks, so the it was a good starting point for our trips. This place is definitely worth booking, esp. if it is for more than a week.
Everything was great. The apartment is beautiful and clean and the neighbourhood too. Debbie is a really nice, helpful host. We loved our stay!
Unser Aufenthalt in Brooklyn bei Debbie war wunderschön. Debbie ist sehr freundlich und stets hilfsbereit, die Wohnung ist schön mit freundlicher Nachbarschaft. Die U-Bahn nach Downtown Manhattan war kein Problem.
Wir können Debbie und das Appartement gerne weiterempfehlen!
Vielen Dank Debbie!!
Wie loved to be with Debbie in Brooklyn. Debbie is very kind and always helpfull. The apartement is nice and the neighbourhood friendly. We had a good connection to downtown by subway. We would love to come back soon to meet Debbie again!!
Dirty house with peeling walls and doors. There is no table to eat but only the kitchen counter with 3 chairs and we were 4 people. On our arrival the sheets for the sofa were crowed in a wardrobe and do not smelled clean!
Lovely and typical apart in Brooklyn : the best place to live during 10 days like new york men with a zen attitude interior decoration...
So near to Manhattan with the feeling to live in a "garden" with squirrels!
Feeling to be at home...
A very good memory in our NYC travel!!!
I stayed in Debbie's apt with my family!...great apt in brooklyn and there are several subway stations 10 mins walking!
Debbie was really helpful and kind! if i have the chance to go back to new york i'll stay at her apt for sure!
Debbie was a wonderful host. Friendly and very accommodating. The apartment was clean and very well set up. Pantry was stocked from prior guests that you could use. About a 15min walk to the subway and approx 30min's into Manhatten. The apartment has everything that you need. We felt comfortable and safe. Small supermarkets that have the basics are only a 10min walk away. Great cafe called Manny's on a couple of min's walk away. Good way to start the day.
We have just arrived back home from Debbie Belles apartment where we stayed in Brooklyn New York. It is a lovely modern apartment, so comfortable warm and cosy and well equipped. Some time in the future we shall definitely return for another visit.Like home from home.
I stayed at Debbie's place for a week with 2 of my friends during our Spring Break. The apartment was clean, beautifully furnished and great for the three of us. We were able to travel to Manhattan via the subway, since there were 2 stops both located about 10 minutes from the apartment and we made it to Times Square in about 40 minutes total. The area around the apartment seemed sketchy the first day but everyone in the neighbouhood was so nice and even stopped to chat on the street. We would definitly stay here again, great apartment, great host and a good time.

NYPD Shoots Dog While Her Owner Has a Seizure
Over a year ago
I just read this. Aren't the police supposed to protect people?
Please log in to reply.
Over a year ago
Yes but you were saying he should have finished the dog to put it of misery. They didn't do anything for the downed person for a time even after they shot the dog! They could have taken their time, ambulances don't arrive instantly. Besides, the man had a seizure, he showed no signs of hitting the pavement hard. There isn't anything you can do for a person having a seizure, just make sure they are on the ground. If the ambulance was there and waiting then I would agree that time was of the essence, but either way they are stuck there waiting. Judging by the fact that I hear the cop was actually lightly kicking the person proves that the cop did not shoot the dog to save the person, he shot the dog because he was scared that he might get bit.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Hey all,
The boards are a place for activists to support each other, so please be nice. 🙂
Officers that shoot dogs who pose no real threat should be charged with cruelty to animals, just like anyone else would be. Additionally, they should be subject to internal reviews and, if appropriate, dismissal from their positions.
Surprise encounters with animals are inevitable for any law enforcement official. It is vital that officers be trained in basic animal control procedures, including the proper and humane handling of animals in the field and accurate risk assessment. This is imperative for the safety of field officers, the community, and animals alike. Humane methods must be exhausted before guns are drawn.

This episode should have been called "Tell Me There is a Reason to Keep Watching This Show."
It truly is amazing, but Damages has managed to go from one of my favorite shows, to a really mediocre procedural in just a few short weeks. How that happened I don't know, but I really do not care about Ellen anymore, and Patty is not even close to as deliciously evil as she was even last year.
This Bernie Madoff-esque storyline has also had its momentum killed. It looked like a really good take on the whole situation, but now they've ruined it by having a teenage girl and Lenny's father as crucial figures in the whole ordeal.moreless

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
In Which I Ruminate on Stolen Bicycles, the Goddess of War, and Taking a Trip Uptown.
Part One: Boring Lifestyle Information (okay to skip)
In this past week, I have realized something fundamental, something no doubt obvious to the rest of the world; the anaerobic lifestyle begets time to read comics. Or, in other words, sitting on your ass prevents a stack of unread books from overwhelming you like The Blob. As several of you may know, I am not only a comics retailer, world class cat burglar, and general Bon Vivant, I am also a cycling enthusiast. If I have the time, and the world has provided a sunny day, you will find me pedaling madly across the Brooklyn Bridge, up the West Side Parkway, or anywhere that either a) strikes my fancy, or b) is located in proximity to whatever errand my girlfriend has assigned me.
What this ultimately means is that when I have two hours to myself, rather than enjoying a stack of lovely comics, I am sweating and getting a sunburn while trying not to hyperventilate. It's one of the few small joys in my life, which is otherwise a slow crawl toward black oblivion.
However, while in midtown Manhattan last week, my beloved bike was stolen. It was entirely my own fault (dirty, dirty hubris and all that), which made the whole bleak scenario all the worse. On the train ride back to Brooklyn, I pulled the first volume of the Viz-big edition of DRAGONBALL from my bag, and read the whole dang thing straight through. Like that guy on the road to Damascus, I realized that maybe, just maybe, rather than this being the summer wherein I finally burn off twenty pounds and prevent the onset of diabetes, this will be the summer that sees me reading every book that is sitting in a pile by my "reading chair".
With a newfound, less active purpose in life, I set off to do some damage.
Part Two: Is THE GODDESS OF WAR the most important book of the year thus far? VERY MUCH MAYBE.
And so it was that I finally sat down and read THE GODDESS OF WAR, the new comic from GIRL STORIES creator Lauren Weinstein. Honestly, this book was initially quite daunting, simply by virtue of having so much visual information packed onto every page. On first flip through, it looks awesome as hell, but darned if it isn't a barrage of comics; panels small and winding into each other like a boardgame designed by mean people.
Despite my initial hesitation, GOW reads like a dream. Literally. It's mesmerizing and hypnotic, and moves with a loopy pace, as if you're in the middle of a terrifically weird and vivid dream. Which works to a marvelous effect, as the Goddess herself exists outside of space and time, and by the time you've read two or three pages, you are completely immeresed in her point of view. This kind of craft doesn't happen by accident, my friends. This is the result of some serious cartooning chops. Chops that are deceptive. Chops that you dont even realize are there until you've fininshed the book and realize what a transcendental ride you've just been taken on. This is pure Cartooning; each page and each panel carefully designed to pull you in and drag you along, immersing you in the visual art of it all, while never abandoning the point of the narrative. The drawing style is loose and scratchy, scribbled away in densely packed panels, all toned with shades of soft, inviting, neutral greens. It's obviously lovingly rendered, and the manic linework brings a contagious energy to every page.
GOW mixes humor, mythology, surrealism, history, and romance (kinda), all under the dual umbrellas of a character study on one hand, and a thoughtful meditation on the nature of human conflict on the other. At no point is it the rambunctious mess that is implied by that sort of content stew. It's a perfect balance of all these elements, seamlessly connecting scenes detailing tensions between early U.S. settlers and Apaches with a trippy, inter-dimensional sex scene with Cochise. Lauren Weinstein has created her own cosmology here, building a strange and strict natural order that the Goddess operates in. Bizarre beings float in the aether (some Lovecraftian and some straight from familiar myths), and we see human history from their perspective, with all the violence and cruelty stacked up as just more moves on a checkerboard, surrounded by merciless and bloodthirsty Gods and Monsters.
This is a comic unlike anything I have ever read, and certainly one of the most original books so far this year. But best of all, this is a comic that could only exist in this medium; this is not a pitch for a movie, or a property to be merchandised, or a novel with pictures. This is an excellent ride that can only be taken panel by panel, and it revels in the form. It's exactly the type of project that gets me excited about Comics, and what comics are capable of.
Part Three: Columbia has fancy buildings.
Monday night I was on a panel that took place at Columbia University, as part of the Columbia Publishing Course. It was moderated by the great Calvin Reid, of Publishers Weekly Comics Week, and included cartoonist Dash Shaw, editor Pete Friedrich, cartoonist Danica Novgorodoff, Del Rey Manga's Ali Kokmen, and The Beat herself, Heidi MacDonald. This was a great group of folks, and it was interesting to hear them talk about their involvement in the world of comics. I didn't have too much to say, so I quietly snapped a few photos with my phone.
Moderator Calvin Reid, one of the great champions of Comics today.
Dash and Danica, chillaxin'.
Ali, Heidi, and Pete, unaware that the Phantom Photographer has snapped them.
When Calvin asked who, in the audience, had read comics or graphic novels, a sea of hands went up without shame or hesitation. The questions asked at the end were all mostly well-informed and surprisingly insightful. All in all, it reminded me that we really are living in a New Golden Age of comics, where publishers of the future learn about graphic novels right alongside magazines and books. The medium has gained that sort of subtle acceptance that isn't apparent right away, but in a few years down the line, when suddenly you realize that everything has changed around you while you were right in the center of it all, arguing about continuity in FINAL CRISIS.
I wake up every day and think "damn, comics are AWESOME!", but it's good to be reminded of it in an academic setting.
I'm gonna pick up Goddess of War today. My love to Gustave.
Yeah, Goddess of War looks pretty awesome, based on the few pages she has on the site. If I lived in someplace cool like New York City, I could probably get it today in one of those fine comics establishments you have there. But we backwater types will have to use this newfangled Internet to order it. Thanks for pointing it out, though.
Sorry to hear about your bike, Alex!
Heh…used to be quite the anaerobe, myself. I'd buy my comics the day they came out (Friday's in the days long past, Wednesdays now) and finish them (and various snacks) that evening.
Now that I've gotten off my butt, literally, I find that I barely have time to finish one week's books by the following Wednesday. I only get a chance to read a couple 'must reads' on Wednesday, then it's down to a couple after my pre-dawn running each morning.
Actually, spacing them out makes them a bit more enjoyable…I used to get in a mode of page-turning and not read things as deeply. Now that I read them in small doses, I think I'm enjoying books more.
Sorry to hear about the bike, though. I had a friend lose his off his rack on the interstate last week. He later recoverd both pieces…
This is how people dress to appear on a panel at a prestigious university?
~sigh~ I'm so old.
The Mutt–
Just FYI, there's lots of variation between schools and departments. Don't know the time-line on the change, but I'd imagine most departments in the humanities and social sciences have been pretty low-key for 25 years, or so. It's one of the advantages of academia after all.
If any place would know best that the way you dress doesn't indicate your intellect at all, it would be a college.
If any place would know best that the way you dress doesn't indicate your intellect at all, it would be a college.
Or a fashion show.
Which, somewhat ironically, are kind of the same thing.
I don't think it's an issue of dressing to indicate your intellect, I think it's about dressing like you actually put some effort into it and not looking like you just rolled out of bed and pulled some stuff out of your hamper. It looks like they're dressed for a hipster dive bar. Although it does allow us a great shot at that Danica chick's legs, so I won't complain THAT much…
Wow, Lauren Weinstein is great! I just picked up "girl stories" from the library, and her website launched today! http://www.laurenweinstein.com
Someday I will wend my way down from the Green Point to the Gardens of Carroll and I shall buy Goddess of War with the sundering force of my bank account imploding! It shall be glorious.
Is everyone totally ignorant of the fact that it is summer in New York?
In other words, HOT & HUMID. Sometimes, that trumps social fashion rules.
Great job on bringing the creep, T.
"Although it does allow us a great shot at that Danica chick's legs, so I won't complain THAT much…"
Dude, grow up.

Davies hurts Worcestershire again
Steven Davies returned to haunt Worcestershire as Surrey, batting second, chalked up their second Clydesdale Bank 40 victory of the season by 30 runs under the Duckworth/Lewis method at New Road.
The 23-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman led a successful run-chase, adding a fluent 81 from 55 balls to the 206 he scored in two innings in the LV= County Championship meeting with his former county at Whitgift School last month.
Replying to the home side's 235 for seven, Surrey lost two early wickets before Davies picked up the tempo in a partnership of 85 in 12 overs with Usman Afzaal.
It was only over-indulgence that caused his downfall when he hit Chris Whelan for six-four-six from successive balls and then lifted the next delivery into Ben Smith's hands on the deep square-leg boundary.
Happily for Surrey, no damage was done as Afzaal, unbeaten with 51, and Mathew Spriegel, with 31 not out, put on 59 before rain ended the contest with the Lions on 191 for three after 31 overs.
Worcestershire suffered their second defeat in the competition after raising a competitive total thanks to an unbeaten 48 by James Cameron, an all-rounder who left Zimbabwe to study at university and play cricket in Western Australia.
Signed on a two-year contract in the winter, he arrived at New Road after being spotted by Worcestershire's Australian-born bowling coach Matt Mason when turning out in grade competitions in Perth.
A hard-hitting left-hander who represented Zimbabwe at under-19 level, he turned Worcestershire's innings round in a sixth-wicket partnership of 65 in 13 overs with Daryl Mitchell, who contributed 35.
Strong on the leg-side, Cameron had the confidence to drive Chris Schofield over long-on for six and also hit four fours while scoring at almost a run-a-ball.
With his simple but effective method, the 24-year-old British passport holder held up Surrey when they had Worcestershire in trouble at 140 for five in the 23rd over.
Off-spinner Gareth Batty, like Davies returning to New Road for the first time since leaving Worcestershire at the end of last summer, claimed the two most important wickets.
Phil Jaques found his best form of the season with 78 from 65 balls before top edging a sweep and Alexei Kervezee was lbw for 39 soon after hoisting Batty for six.
Iftikhar Anjum was easily the pick of Surrey's seamers. The Pakistan one-day international bowled Vikram Solanki and had Moeen Ali caught in his first spell and finished with three for 39 after skittling Ben Scott.

I'm seeing the following 4 symptoms which concern me but I'm not sure if I should be worried:
1. There is a hidden div appearing on all of my pages with a number of words making nonsense sentences that seem to be some sort of SEO
2. There are Javascript evals of base 64 encoded strings in my templates (including ones I have designed myself!). I didn't put them there.
3. When I try and remove the eval statements from my template a page comes up that asks me for my userid and password foir the site. The page is not styled at all and has no other text. When I type my userid and password (password since changed BTW) the template is not modified.
4. When I try an XML export of my posts I get a 0 character file.
What I did recently:
a) Upgraded from 2.2 (I think) to WordPress 2.8 by following the extended instructions
b) Installed the Arclite theme
c) Added the Google analytics plugin
Am I screwed? What can I do?
