File this under "When Wasps stop being polite, and start getting real."
In 2000, the 98-year-old Brooke Astor was irritated. Still in full command of her faculties, she couldn't know that over the next seven years, her health and mental faculties would decline, and her only son, Anthony Marshall, would convince her that she was out of funds and quietly transfer much of her money and belongings into his or his wife's name. Nor could she know the immense public scandal Marshall's actions would cause, bringing New York's most influential socialites to court on her behalf. None of that was on her mind that day, as her dear friend and ear doctor Kevin Flaherty examined her in her beloved Park Avenue home. No — what was bothering her was the fact that she had been invited to spend Christmas up in Maine at her old estate (which her son would later convince her to sign over to him) with Marshall and his wife, Charlene. Or, as she was sometimes known around the apartment — depending on the hour or number of cocktails clinking around — "that woman." As Kevin fussed over her ears (who wears diamond baguettes to an examination?), her dachshunds, Boysie and Girlsie, fluttered anxiously around her on the couch. "So are you going to go?" Kevin asked. "I'd rather have Boysie and Girlsie up in Maine with me than Anthony and that B-I-T-C-H," she responded, according to polite testimony Flaherty gave today, seven years later, in court. Of course, anyone who knew Mrs. Astor would know she'd never actually say it that way. The doctor was just being polite — Brooke called Charlene a plain old "bitch," and that was that.
See, that's the great thing about old Wasps. After nearly ten decades of keeping quiet about how she really feels, Brooke Astor earned that "bitch."

About Jeff Masters

By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:46 PM GMT on October 20, 2006
An area of low pressure just northeast of Puerto Rico (90L), continues to spread heavy rain and gusty winds over the northern Lesser Antilles islands. Wind shear over the disturbance has dropped to 10 knots, and is forecast to stay below 20 knots the next two days, which may allow some slow development. The storm has not become any better organized over the past day, however. A QuikSCAT satellite pass last night revealed no well-defined closed circulation, and top winds were just 15-25 mph. Unfortunately, the Puerto Rico radar failed Wednesday. There are two television stations on the island that maintain radars--televicentropr.com (click on "Super Doppler Max" and wait for the animation to load) and Univision (click on "El Tiempo" and scroll to the bottom.) The Univision radar had not updated for 15 hours when I checked this morning. Gracias to Hector Ivan Soto Nazario, P.E. ASCS, Vice President of the Central Industrial Cleaning Corp. of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, who provided me these handy links.
Flood watches have been posted this morning in eastern Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, where up to five inches of rain fell yesterday. Additional heavy rains are expected today, and 90L will also bring heavy rains and potential flash flooding to the much of the northernmost Lesser Antilles Islands and eastern Puerto Rico over the next day.
Visible satellite animations show that 90L is pushing slowly northeastward out to sea. This motion is expected to continue over the next few days, and 90L will likely not trouble any more land areas by Saturday night. Yesterday afternoon's run of the GFDL model did intensify 90L into a tropical storm, but none of the other models are doing so. I expect the system is too small and disorganized to become a tropical storm.
Figure 1. Preliminary model tracks for disturbance "90L".
Elsewhere in the tropics
None of the computer models are forecasting tropical development in the Atlantic over the next six days. Some of the models show the possibility of a tropical storm forming along the Pacific coast of Mexico early next week and moving towards Baja, but this has a low probability of happening.
I'll be back with an update Saturday morning. For those of you interested, there have been some good posts on the "View from the Surface" blog this month--an interview with Dr. Kerry Emanuel of MIT, plus a review of his excellent book, The Divine Wind; a report on a recent Nature magazine article accusing NOAA of suppressing the views of scientists who link intense hurricanes with climate change; and also today's game of guess the quote from the hurricane article.

Welcome to Visit New England - Connecticut
Connecticut: Great shopping, dining, casinos, Mystic maritime fun
Connecticut, the southernmost New England state, is bounded by Long Island Sound on the south, Rhode Island on the east, New York State on the west, and Massachusetts on the north. The finger-like extension of Fairfield Country is an easy drive to and from New York City. Connecticut is the nearest New England state to New York, Pennsylvania and points south for a short getaway.
Click here to view a map of Connecticut.
Connecticut regions and highlights:
Fairfield Region
Located along the shore of Long Island Sound, the Fairfield region is a short drive from New York City. It includes the towns of Stamford, Darien, Norwalk, Westport, Fairfield, and Bridgeport. Good restaurants, with a special cluster in the SoNo section of Norwalk, a waterfront area with lots of hip restaurants and shops. Family attractions include Beardsley Zoo, Discovery Museum, and the Barnum Museum in Bridgeport; Maritime Aquarium and the Stepping Stones Museum for Children in Norwalk; and the Stamford Museum & Nature Center in Stamford.
New Haven Region
North and east of the Fairfield region and also on Long Island Sound, the New Haven region is home to Yale University, which is loved for its fine architecture and excellent art museums, including the Yale Center for British Art and the Yale University Art Gallery. New Haven calls itself the birthplace of pizza in America, with the pies served in old legendary pizzerias like Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, Frank Pepe's The Spot, and Modern Apizza. Downtown New Haven bustles with dining and cultural activities, and it is becoming known and loved for its blossoming food truck offerings.
Mystic Region
The Mystic region is in the southeast corner of the state, aside Long Island Sound and also extending northward and inland, has attractions that are uniquely New England in character and great for families and kids. In the town of Mystic, Mystic Seaport is a historic shipbuilding museum and re-created 19th-century seaside village. Mystic Aquarium is associated with Robert Ballard, who discovered the Titanic, and it has a marvelous Titanic exhibit. The city of New London has the state's best salt-water beach and Ocean Beach park. Further inland, the Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Mashantucket (Ledyard) and Mohegan Sun in Uncasville are two largest casinos in America, with reputations to match.
Hartford Region
The capital city of Hartford, in the geographical center of the state, is known for some fine art and history museums, including the Mark Twain House & Museum. The Wadsworth Atheneum's renowned collections include Hudson River School landscapes, Old Master paintings, modernist masterpieces, Impressionist paintings, and American decorative arts. Bradley International Airport, in Windsor Locks, is a major airport near Hartford.
Litchfield Region
In the western part of the state along the eastern border of New York State, the Litchfield region is a rural paradise of picturesque farms, villages, vineyards and wineries, lots of antique shopping, and fishing and rafting in the Housatonic River. Major towns are Litchfield, Danbury, Waterbury, Bantam, Kent, and Torrington. Litchfield region has no saltwater shoreline, but has wonderful rivers and ponds.

FCC's 25 Mbps broadband definition isn't dampening CenturyLink's investment plans
CenturyLink may be the third largest telco, but it is clearly taking a contrary view over its larger ILEC brothers AT&T and Verizon on the FCC's recent move to redefine broadband speeds to be a minimum of 25/3 Mbps.
Frontier enhances wireline footprint with $10.5B Verizon purchase, but integration concerns remain
Frontier Communications officially emerged as the suitor for the $10.5 billion in wireline assets that Verizon wants to offload, signifying its ongoing effort to scale its reach in new markets and deepen its presence in others it already serves. But it remains to be seen how Frontier integrates these new assets.
Google Fiber's expansion efforts highlight lack of broadband competition
Google Fiber confirmed on Monday that it would bring its 1 Gbps fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) services to four new metro areas in the Southeast--Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham, N.C.,--illustrating its desire to continually shake up the status quo of the broadband market.
MLK Day publishing break
Integra's Electric Lightwave rebranding is all about establishing identity with business customers
Integra has set itself on yet another new path to enhance its identity with large businesses by revamping the Electric Lightwave brand while creating another group dedicated to mid-market customers.
Verizon's desire to sell parts of its wireline network could kick off new consolidation trend
Verizon may still be one of the largest wireline telcos in the U.S., but it's clear that the telco's ongoing focus to trim non-essential assets and increase its market share in the wireless industry is driving it to consider selling some of its fixed line assets.
Sprint's MVNO Ting makes 1 Gig move, but how big will its impact be?
Sprint MVNO Ting has spent its short life being a purveyor of low-cost wireless services, but all of that changed this week when the service provider announced it would start offering 1 Gbps fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) services to consumers with a focus on the Charlottesville, Va., market.
Wholesale providers add more dark fiber to their service diet
Whether it's a traditional carrier that needs to fill in a coverage gap, a content company that wants control over its infrastructure, or a school district that wants to be able to flexibly scale bandwidth to fulfill the growth of digital learning initiatives, we address these issues in our latest special report, Dark fiber creates new fortunes for ILECs, cable and CLECs.
Verizon's battle with N.J. town shows strong thirst for rural wireline broadband
Verizon's ongoing war of words with Hopewell Township, N.J.'s officials over telephone service quality and lack of fruitful broadband service shows that consumers' desire for high speed wireline broadband is just as prevalent in rural markets as it is in large cities.
Thanksgiving publishing break
In observance of the Thanksgiving holiday, FierceTelecom will not be publishing its regular newsletter issue on Thursday, Nov. 27 or Friday, Nov. 28.

It'll be clear after reading this post that I'm a noob at all of this, but I figured I'd point it out before I started anyway...
Downloaded Python 2.5.4 and the Google App Engine (GAE) SDK and I'm following the "Getting Started" Python tutorial to familiarize myself w/ Python and the GAE process. Everything was fine and happy until Step 4...
Step 1: Created a folder on my desktop (Windows XP) named helloworld.
(It said to create a "directory" named helloworld, but I saw the dude in the video just create a folder, so I figured "directory" was just tech talk for folder... is that right/wrong?)
Step 2: Used notepad++ to create the helloworld.py file and saved it to the folder.
Step 3: Created the app.yaml file (w/ notepad++) and saved to my helloworld folder (directory?).
Step 4: (The death of all my hopes and dreams.)
Starting the SDK webserver....
First I got stuck on where exactly I was supposed to type the "google_appengine/dev_appserver.py helloworld/" command. I remembered reading somewhere of people complaining that google likes to do everything through the command prompt window (or whatever its called). So I went to start-->run-->typed in "cmd" and it brought it up. (Is that right?) But when I typed in the command (w/o the quotes) it returned:
'google_appengine' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
So then I changed it to look more like what the dude in the video used instead (and also later tried changing the files to look like his), and typed in...
dev_appserver.py helloworld/
and it returned:
ERROR:root:Application configuration file not found in helloworld/
That seemed better than the other message, so I googled this error message and found that other people are having this same problem, but I don't know enough and have too many noob questions to figure out the fixes. (I tried them and they didn't work for me.)
I got helped here at codingforums a few weeks ago on a javascript question and they really broke it down for me, so I thought I'd post this and see if you guys can help me out again.
Is a folder and a directory the same thing... is the location of the folder on my desktop ok?
Is the command prompt window correct or is there another place that I should type in the command to start up the web server?
What's the right command? and/or the right location for the folder and files?
what else am I doing wrong?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Oops! Something went wrong.
All tips do not help
Maps are post specific!?
unless you buy the Pro version this plugin is totally useless.
you can create only one map, no edit on popup markers, nothing.
thumbs down for me
Instructions, what instructions??? in serious need of a tidy up!
I installed the plugin onto my site. Created a map for a page. Then created another map on the same page, cut the code from the page and pasted it into a footer text widget.
All is fine and good.
I did the same thing on another site. Everything is ok.
Then all of a sudden it quit working in the footer. I turned all the other plugins off, and it still did not work in the footer. I could not figure out why.
So I deleted the plugin, and deleted the folder from WP via FTP. And then tried to install it again fresh. But the system always recognizes that there were other instances of the maps. New maps start with the number where it left off before the plugin was deleted. I even deleted the post where it was to no avail. And it still does not work in the footer widget.
What the heck is that all about?
I am about to give up on it all together.

On this first day of summer, many car owners are likely to experience the following scenario: enter your car to leave work for the day and the temperature is sweltering—much hotter than outside. The ignition, steering wheel, and seat surface are almost too hot to touch. You roll down your windows or turn on the air conditioner (or both) to get some air moving to quickly mitigate the sauna-like conditions.
Cars are a classic case of the greenhouse effect: visible light is absorbed by the various surfaces within the vehicle. As those surfaces re-emit that energy as heat, glass—opaque to the long-wavelength radiation associated with infrared heat energy—traps it inside.
This is more than just a nuisance on hot days. Of the oil consumed by U.S. passenger vehicles, 5.5 percent is used for air conditioning. For today's average internal-combustion-driven vehicle, air conditioner use results in up to a 26 percent reduction in mpg. For an electric vehicle, this translates to a 36 percent reduction in range.
Vehicle air conditioning systems are sized to handle worst-case temperatures such as the hottest of hot summer days, with interior temperatures well in excess of 110 F. Stringent human comfort standards require that the temperature be brought within a comfortable range—typically around 70 F—within minutes. A rarely-encountered, temporary condition thus determines the permanent capacity, size, weight, and cost of the evaporator, coolant, fans, ducts, and compressor that make up the air conditioning system. Given their mostly unused excess capacity, these systems then operate at suboptimal efficiency in moderate conditions—the majority of the time.
By using approaches that harness an understanding of heat transfer, human physiology and psychology, and advanced technology, thermal comfort (not to mention fuel economy and EV range) can be improved in tomorrow's vehicles—while making a substantial step toward U.S. oil independence.
Finding the Leverage Points
Imagine the possibilities if our cars took lessons from nature. For example, a parked car's cabin temperature could be maintained closer to the outside temperature by passively drawing in outside air. Termites make use of this technique in Africa and Australia, inducing passive convection airflow to cool the interior of their mounds by up to 20 F.
A 2007 study conducted by the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) indicates that strategically-placed vents that induce natural convection airflow could do something similar for vehicles, reducing interior cabin temperature on hot days by 11 F, and allowing a 25 percent reduction in air conditioning compressor power and a significantly downsized air conditioning system. This zero-energy approach provides nearly equivalent benefit to forcing outside air into the cabin by running the ventilation fans at medium power while parked.
If worst-case maximum cabin air temperatures could be reduced, drivers would not only save on fuel costs associated with blasting their air conditioners, but would further benefit from the increased space and reduced weight and cost of a downsized (but equally capable) air conditioning system. Best of all, drivers would experience increased comfort due to experiencing cooler temperatures upon entering the vehicle, and have to worry less about leaving their groceries or dog in the car on a moderately warm day.
Expanding the Problem
Passively cooling the car's interior to reduce heat loads enables a smaller system to provide the same comfort, but passive techniques can't get us all the way there. Vehicles still need some type of active system to provide ventilation and deliver thermal comfort to the passenger. But is the current approach of blowing air from the dashboard the best way to do it?
No, suggests research from NREL and the Center for the Built Environment at University of California, Berkeley. There are several alternative techniques that could actually improve comfort with reduced energy consumption relative to today's approaches.
Humans maintain thermal comfort by achieving a heat balance. If the heat produced by the body's metabolic processes is not dissipated at a constant rate, heat builds up in the body and we feel hot. If heat is lost faster than it is produced metabolically, we feel cold. Our own thermoregulation system has built-in means of heating us up (shivering to increase our metabolic rate), or cooling us down (sweating to provide evaporative cooling). So long as the produced and incoming heat is balanced with the outgoing heat—barring any extreme or asymmetric local temperatures from one part of the body to the next—we feel comfortable.
In a car, there are several ways to achieve this balance. Blowing air from the dash is one of them, but it turns out to be among the least efficient. Because the passenger is in constant contact with the seat, cooling via direct contact becomes a reliable means of efficiently dissipating heat.
Ventilated seats are not a new concept in the auto industry, but electric vehicle manufacturers are taking renewed notice of the important contribution they can make to improve range if their efficiency is considered within the thermal comfort system as a whole. The seat can also provide a delivery platform for something UC Berkeley calls "task ambient cooling" whereby small fans deliver close-proximity air flow to the face and neck, among the parts of the body that influence thermal comfort the most. This air flow can furthermore be delivered via "transient" means, providing small bursts of cooling on an intermittent basis: an approach that elevates the thermal comfort response of the passenger relative to the "steady state" airflow approach typical of today's vehicles.
RMI looks for high-leverage, high-impact ways to reduce U.S. oil dependence and move our country toward a petroleum-free U.S. transportation system by 2050. Tackling the problem of thermal comfort in vehicles could dramatically reduce oil consumption in the near term, while enhancing the value proposition of EVs by lending customers greater range, savings, security, and comfort.

Two things left out:
o Excessive heat allows fuel to vaporize and if the system has a leak, smog precursors are released to the atmosphere.
o Trees cast shade and lower ambient air temperatures, ameliorating conditions and improving performance.
When there is no rain in the forecast I always leave my windows down a 1/2 in. or so. Enough to vent hot air, but not enough to allow someone to easily break into the car. It's made hot summer days much more bearable.
Vehicles that are painted white are much cooler in the hot sun and therefore use less A/C (and fuel).
Next time buy a white car or truck. I've got one of each, here in Georgia, and neither has A/C.
Cars are a classic case of the greenhouse effect: visible light is absorbed by the various surfaces within the vehicle. As those surfaces re-emit that energy as heat, glass—opaque to the long-wavelength radiation associated with infrared heat energy—traps it inside.
I believe this is perpetuating a false myth. The reason greenhouses get hot is not because the glass in opaque to infrared, but because of the lack of convection keeps the hot air trapped near the surface. R.W. Wood in 1909 built two greenhouses, one made of glass, another made of salt (transparent to infrared). The temps in both were identical.
Now of course CO2 and H2O are greenhouse gases which are opaque to infrared and cause a greenhouse effect by slowing the rate at which the IR can escape not by convection.
For me, an attraction of automobile AC is that it dehumidifies, affecting comfort.
How much energy does a car dehumidifier use, if operated separately from AC?
Could I save on gas if I kept my cabin air at lower R.H., while letting air temperature stay higher?
I don't have the pleasure of owning an EV, but obviously a similar question applies to EVs for how much charge it takes to operate a dehumidifier as compared to an AC.
Cars need their greenhouse effect in winter.
A simple white sheet deployed on the windshield, perhaps a stretch cloth with four hooks that latch onto four spots on the edges of the windshield, would reflect heat back out quickly. Deployment of the sheet could be automated.
People might want a fan system that starts exhausting excess heat as soon as the car is electronically unlocked.
Today's smart cars should slowly exhaust the absolute worst of the heat, keeping internal temperatures down to, say, 105 degrees, all day if necessary. The amount of energy needed to take the top off of the temperature with intermittent fan use is far less than the amount of energy needed to cool the passenger compartment. Leave this feature off or on depending on when the driver expects to get back.
I have a 20 year old Kia that has no air conditioning, and gets 35 MPG in stop-and-go city driving, and over 50 MPG on the highway. Unfortunately, it is hard to find 2012 model cars that don't have air conditioners factory-installed. And even if you never use the AC, it still adds a lot of unnecessary weight to the car, which as the article notes, reduces the fuel efficiency (or in the case of EVs the range) of the car.
A while back I saw a gadget with small fans powered by a miniature solar panel, that mounted in the top of a car's partly-rolled-down side window. You would stick the thing in a window facing the sun, and the fans would draw fresh air through the car while it was parked. Seems like a similar solar-powered ventilation system would be pretty easy to build in.
Yes, indeed, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab has done excellent R&D on cool cars, based on high-albedo (heat-reflecting) paint finishes, notably white. See the recent research findings in the report: Levinson, R., H. Pan, G. Ban-Weiss, P. Rosado, R. Paolini, and H. Akbari, "Potential benefits of solar reflective car shells: Cooler cabins, fuel savings and emission reductions", Applied Energy, 07/2011, available at: http://heatisland.lbl.gov/projects/projects-cool-cars
and also see ongoing research at:
http://heatisland.lbl.gov/coolscience/cool-science-cool-cars, and the 112-page (12 Mb) final research report funded by Calif Energy Commission, Cool‐Colored Cars to Reduce Air‐ Conditioning Energy Use and Reduce CO2 Emission, Jan 2011
My Nissan Leaf uses 1/4 to 1/2 kwh for my drive home in the summer. Since it takes about 9 kwh for the round trip, this means that the penalty for the trip is at most 5-6% compared to not using the AC. Other Leaf owners report similar high efficiency for AC use. Heating is a completely different story for the Leaf–it uses a lot of energy. A heat pump will hopefully be used in future models. Note that the link the author uses is from 2010, before the Leaf was even released, and is a worst case scenario most won't encounter.
In 1973 I commuted from home to university classes on a vehicle which cooled down EXTREMELY rapidly once moving on the road, easily kept up with non-freeway traffic, and got me about 100 miles per US gallon.
It was a Honda C90 scooter.
In France, I installed 5m2 of solar panels on my EV:
1) it powers me 5000km to more than 10000km yearly depending of driving mode.
2) during hot sunny hours the 5m2 PV also offer shade and cooling!
However for winter we need to insulate better EVs (including double glasses windows?)
Hopefully newer cars will be better designed.
Since most of us are going to have to deal with the type of vehicle we have now, here are my strategies. Beside the obvious ones of parking in shade, cracking windows
a) carry an old sheet in vehicle or trunk. Park facing the sun's path (heading south). stretch sheet over front windshield and secure ends in both driver and passenger doors. (Caution: can't do this when it might rain as the sheet will wick rain into the vehicle).
I got this (same) idea from a sun-shade using friend who thought that the sun hitting the glass would heat up the car, interior sun-shade or no.
I felt that an exterior-fixed sunshade would get pinched, and my ratty sheet is locked in place and not very desirable. Even as those pandering ads say "especially these days."
b) I've noticed that the metal vents heat up in the sun so that when starting a hot car the cold air runs hot. If you run the AC for just a short while it will chill those bits so that the cold air (only, not AC) is adequate breeze effect on driver (and passenger). For a longer trip this can mean using AC only part of the time. I am not able to tell if this increases my mpg.
I'm seriously considering cutting a few little trees (aak) to create more shade parking near my house too. (Not as illogical as it sounds.)
Well, a couple of "doh" amendments to my comment.
Firstly, well new cars are probably not going to be better designed without a lot of pushback. Time for those who can to link to this comment, tweet away.
Secondly, I meant to say I didn't know if my on/off AC use when it's in the high 90s, decreased my mpg, not increased.
Strickly my opinion: To use an auto A/C as a dehumidifier, let the A/C run but after the car is cool enough set the A/C to the highest temperature so the compressor doesn't run often, just the fans.
Ten years from now, the number of dark colored cars on the road will decline as manufacturers struggle to sell them while summer temperatures soar, ditto dark interiors.
That figure about loss of MPG to AC usage must be some kind of dire worst case. In my Prius, the effect of AC usage on mileage is barely detectable. Maybe a couple percent?
My 1984 Trek 710 (200,000+ miles and counting) does the same thing, although I usually feel warmer when I finish than when I started. Don't mind it at all; just like cutting wood to burn warms you twice, riding a bike saves money in oh, about a dozen ways, including no membership at the gym.

What is Dysphagia?
|The word dysphagia is derived from the Greek dys meaning bad or disordered, and phagomeaning "eat".Dysphagia is most likely to occur in the elderly, however people of all ages can have health conditions that lead to dysphagia. Adults who have had a stroke, brain injury, required surgery on their brain, neck or heart, had cancer of the neck or brain, or suffered any type of muscular disease or muscular dystrophy, may experience dysphagia. Any of these types of conditions can cause difficulties or pain in swallowing liquids, foods or even saliva. Some signs and symptoms of dysphagia include coughing during or immediately after eating or drinking, difficulty chewing or controlling food in the mouth, inability to control liquid or saliva in the mouth, difficulty initiating a swallow, or extra effort or time to trigger a swallow, dehydration, choking, frequent pneumonia, unexplained weight loss, gurgly or wet voice after swallowing, nasal regurgitation, or the person complaining of swallowing difficulty. Dehydration and poor nutrition / malnutrition often result if a person's dysphagia isn't managed properly. They are also at great risk of aspiration, where food or liquid enters the airway which can lead to pneumonia or other chronic illnesses., and can be life threatening if not treated properly. Embarrassment and social isolation is also a significant consideration as people with dysphagia are more likely to avoid social interaction, especially where food and drink is concerned. Anyone with swallowing difficulties needs to see a qualified speech-language pathologist who will conduct a thorough swallow assessment, and assist them to understand their needs, provide swallowing advice and modify diets or fluids where necessary.

Company: West Coast Productions
Cast: Steve Taylor, Pat Myne, Bunny Luv, Brandon Iron, Salena Del Ray, Lee (I), Clarissa, Bamboo
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
New talent.
Director Peter Wolf bats .750, with three out of four scenes top-notch here. Leading off is 18-year-old Lee, a club dancer who wants to feature (how come you never see librarians in these thins?) and does a sunlit scene with Brandon Iron. Next is 19-year-old Clarissa, whose scene with Pat Myne is enthusiastic and fun for both of them. Although Clarissa is a little reluctant to take a facial pop, she sails through the scene like a trouper. Blond newbie Bunny Luv is next, in a g/g with Salena Del Ray. Bunny shows a lot of potential: maybe next time she'll be with a guy. Final scene is a bit of a letdown, with French-speaking Bamboo at a loss for words in her scene with Steve Taylor. The vid ends with a preview of a new vid with Jack Napier, a new talent with a very large… personality, but the scene is a teaser and isn't counted in the timing or the scene count.
Director Wolf keeps the camera moving and the eye entranced, aided and abetted by James Knight's masterful editing, which moves to the next shot before you get bored, not after. Pre-nom for editing.

Being Murphy Brown in a June Cleaver World
There is another woman in my 6-year-old daughter's life.
She writes messages on bumblebee note paper. She has a puppet friend named Millie, who helps my daughter learn the alphabet.
Over the past nine months, she probably has been the single most influential person in Neva's life outside of her own family. And although I am embarrassed to admit it, I met her for the first time at a parent-teacher conference in early May, roughly a month before the end of the school year.
As a former overachieving nerd girl of the '80s, it didn't feel good. In a society that still seems to embrace an image of motherhood that is more June Cleaver and less Murphy Brown, it's hard to resist the feeling that you're coming up short if you don't sacrifice your career at the altar of parenthood.
When Neva started public school last fall, I knew that we had hit the kindergarten lottery. Our daughter came bounding into the house each day bubbling over like champagne about a new craft or song that she had learned from her teacher, whom everyone calls Mrs. B.
"Mom, guess what? We met a new letter friend today: Mr. M," she said excitedly on one of the first days of school.
The Juggle
Having grown up in a family of educators—my father, two uncles, one aunt and one cousin have all been, or currently are, teachers—I know what a powerful impact a child's initial educational experience can have on how that child approaches school. I wanted to do everything I could to help make sure that Neva looked forward to going to school each day.
So I told myself that I was going to be as actively involved as possible in her school life. After all, I had read to her before bed almost every night since she was a toddler. It was our thing.
I also had fond memories in grade school of my own mother volunteering in school each week to teach art after she realized that budget cuts had left our public school without an art program. She somehow managed to find the time, despite the fact that she held a full-time job waitressing in the evenings and took classes during the day as she worked toward her master's degree in finance.
I knew it wouldn't be easy given the demands of my job, which requires long hours and a commute twice a month from Boston to New York. What I didn't realize, however, is how miserably I would fail.
The day of kindergarten orientation, I was in New York working at one of the biggest annual conferences in the area that my group covers. I missed the first parent-teacher conference in the fall, due to a scheduling mix-up, along with several other school events that took place during my trips out of town.
It all hit home one weekend this spring when I took Neva to a birthday party for one of her classmates. A group of moms stood together chatting about school activities that I didn't even realize I had missed, and teachers and administrators that I had never met. Suddenly, I felt like I was back in high school. Only this time, instead of failing on the social scene, I was failing at something much bigger and more important. I was getting a D-minus in the mom department.
In my head, I knew it wasn't entirely true. Unlike my mother, my work involves a demanding travel schedule, and the deadline schedule required by my job can be brutal at times.
Besides, my husband, Clay, is a stay-at-home parent, and is more involved. He volunteers in Neva's classroom once or twice a month and is one of the few fathers who does so.
Clay says that I worry too much and that I shouldn't be so hard on myself. "You're doing something important for the family," he told me one day when I asked him if he thought it was strange that I hadn't met Neva's teacher.
When I asked my close friend, a stay-at-home mom, about it, she told me about her own husband, who had to miss the first week that their young son spent at a new school because of a business trip.
"He was definitely disappointed, but I don't think there's the same level of guilt," she said. "I think you're assigning guilt to what is really just disappointment. It's OK to feel disappointed, but Neva's not going to remember that you didn't make it to the parent-teacher conference. She's going to remember the wonderful birthday parties you throw, and those crazy plastic-spoon people you two made together. Those are the things that will stick with her."
I realize she's probably right. It isn't really that important to Neva that I am involved at all in her school life, especially when she has such inspiring teachers and an actively involved father. I am an integral part of her life in many other ways that are equally, if not more, important, and it's more of my own hangup that leaves me feeling guilty.
Still, my heart doesn't rationalize so easily. And if I'm totally honest with myself, I also realize that there were times when I just failed to prioritize.
So next year, I am going to try my best to do a better job planning. I realize I will never be the one leading an internal coup at the PTA. I will probably not be the first call on the emergency-alert phone tree.
However, I am going to try to arrange my schedule so I can try to show up at least a bit more for important school events. I'm also determined that I'm going to meet my daughter's teacher when school starts, and not when it ends.
And even if I still end up with a less-than-perfect attendance record, I'm going to try to leave the guilt behind.

Clever but a tad sexist and hetero-normative. Women don't have to shave their legs to be women. This ad is stuck in the 90s methinks.
Also, Julian doesn't really work well with the big idea because it's sometimes used as a woman's name.

And I have to say I am not aware of any games that don't run from hard drive.
All you need to do is install a different (working) theme. It will overwrite the bad one.
You don't need to restore your backup
Or you can use a program like "dopmii" to install the official 4.3...
I wish they would ban some of the call of duty cheaters
never messed with it myself, but I believe what you need is called an "SZS modifier"
Its best to have different setups for different games
For the goldeneye setup its important to still be able to move left and right with the c-buttons
So for a classic controller:
A full brick is about as unlikely from a theme installation as it is from a wad channel installation.
Especially if using mymenuify.
If you are installing a theme with a wad file, that can be...
It is normal
But then again, normally, the disc drive is the first part of a wii that stops working
The drive they use is fairly low quality (it struggles to read dual layer discs)
If you are...
If I understand correctly
This device is a usb to ethernet adapter that feeds into a wifi antenna instead of a wired connection
I don't see why it wouldn't work
The wii supports usb to ethernet...
If all else fails you could always copy everything over
re-format your drive and copy it back
There is no actual benefit to downgrading from 4.3 to 4.1
There are many themes that work on 4.3
This site doesn't allow outside links but try searching for "wii theme team" They made a good set...
That depends.
How are your games formatted? Did you make a WBFS partition or do you have it all in Fat32?
If you have a WBFS partition then yeah you are going to have to use disc cloning software...
The new version (1.29) fixed the problem I was having
No, the bottleneck is going to be the wii's 2.0 USB port. The max speeds you are going to see are around 25-30 MB/s no matter what drive you use.
But it should be loading about the same speed as...
I only had that one problem, so I can't say how glitchy it is.
I tried deleteing and re-making the second smb network but it was still crashing
My second smb network is a bit strange however. ...
The new wiimc version is freezing up on me when I try to access the second SMB share network
No code dump,, just blackscreen, wii remote power button stops working and you have to manually get up...

The overall product is very nice, had it loaded with camping gear last weekend and it held up great. The only reason it's a 4 and not a 5 is the instructions. Again, Smittybuilt struggles with instructions and actually including all the steps required and referencing which bolts go where, etc. You can obviously figure it out but it would be nice if the instructions were more complete.

foobar2000 is an advanced audio player for the Windows platform. Some of the basic features include full unicode support, ReplayGain support and native support for several popular audio formats.
Reviewing 1.3.8 (Mar 26, 2015)
Superb player - Personally I prefer AIMP mainly for the skins but foobar is one of the best.
Reviewing 1.3.7 Beta 1 (Dec 23, 2014)
I love foobar2000 but it really needs to come with at least an option of skins upon install like WinAmp does. If you have been driven away by its sparse look and gave up on it here's a skin I'd recommend which will most likely make you appreciate the player:
I also dig this for addon for adding lyrics to files:
Reviewing 1.3.6 (Dec 19, 2014)
if you care MORE about high-quality music player instead of fancy moving themes that waste CPU cycles, then choose foobar2000
foobar2000 for audio player + another program for video player is the way to go!
foobar2000 is very light-weight and doesn't load up tons of junk just to play music
Reviewing 1.3.3 (Jul 27, 2014)
My second choice, it's super versatile and the sound it's pretty good (not as good as AIMP) but it needs a decent equalizer urgently.
Reviewing 1.3.3 (Jul 17, 2014)
Still the BEST, thank you for a GREAT player.
Use it daily to stream radio and music from the Net, works as it should and always did.
Sooo, that components is PP blocking exactly? This ain't the Foobar forums, because of that fact I don't have to care which foobar denizens get their panties in a bunch (not that I would anyway) and inquiring minds want to know. :) :) ;)

Cannot find news or info unless bfcf is raising cash for the bxg purchase. its seems like a controlled sale for the past few days or profit taking for the cliff. any takes T or Panick
I would guess it is some profit taking on BFCF. However, need to keep in mind that this is an OTC stock that has some fairly thin volume (about 100,000 daily average) - it does not take a lot to move the price.
Whatever happens day-to-day on the BFCF price, this stock looks grossly undervalued. Just looking at the 54% ownership of BXG (worth over $168 million at market price) and the 53% ownership of BBX (worth over $68 million at market price), you have over $236 million of of NAV split among 77.16 million BFCF and BFCFB shares. This equates to $3.06 per share, without counting anything else on the BFCF balance sheet (not much else to count).
No reason this should not be in the mid-to-upper $2 range. ust need to get past some of the messy stuff - BXG transaction, repayment of BBT through successful resolution of BBX assets, settlement of shareholder lawsuits, settlment of SEC suit against Levan, et al. Also would add that once this stuff is out of the way, there is a likely chance they pursue a listing on Nasdaq or NYSE - recall, that was part of the consideration in the original deal for Bluegreen.
Probably just profit taking on BFCF. Looks like the BXG deal is going to close in April based on the special meeting -unless of course there is a last minute competing bid.
Can't find anything either... just nervous holders w/huge gains, IMHO. Bought a few thou more at 1.70... wish I got those 1.55 shrs!
Bought several thousand more as well at $1.72. Quite a few of my friends on SI bought shares today as well. GLTA

Gordhan Reins in South Africa Spending to Restore Confidence
South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan plans to restrain spending over the next three years to help restore confidence in Africa's largest economy in the face of wider budget deficit targets and rating downgrades.
Slower economic growth following a series of mining strikes will curb tax revenue, widening the fiscal gap to 4.8 percent of gross domestic product in the year through March, compared with a February estimate of 4.6 percent, Gordhan said in his mid-term budget released in Cape Town today. The shortfall will reach 4.5 percent next year, up from an earlier forecast of 4 percent.
South Africa didn't raise three-year spending targets for the first time since 1998, with Gordhan ordering government departments to cut back on wasteful expenditure as rising debt levels put the nation under increased scrutiny from rating companies following the first downgrades since the end of apartheid. That's limiting the room to stimulate the economy and tackle a 25 percent jobless rate as the global outlook worsens.
"These constraints make it imperative that we do things differently," Gordhan said. "Government departments will need to live within our means. Spending needs to become more efficient and achieve value for money. Wastage of taxpayers' money must come to an end."
'Trying Hard'
Spending will rise 8.5 percent to 1.15 trillion rand ($132 billion) in the year through March 2014 and increase 7.9 percent the following year, in line with the government's targets in February, the National Treasury said.
The rand extended its gain after Gordhan's speech, gaining as much as 1.2 percent to 8.682 per dollar today in Johannesburg. The yield on the rand bond due in 2015 rose 1 basis point to 5.48 percent.
"The market clearly likes what it has heard," Razia Khan, the London-based head of Africa economic research at Standard Chartered Plc, said in a note to clients. "For ratings agencies, the fact that no additional spending is planned beyond that set out as a baseline in the 2012 budget, will be viewed positively, although their doubts about the political cycle may well persist."
The deficit was forecast to reach 4.9 percent of GDP this year, according to the median estimate of six economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
Revenue, which will probably be 4 billion rand lower than projected at 901 billion rand this year, will increase 9.5 percent and 11 percent for the next two years respectively.
Tax Increases
"We will look at expenditure to see if there are areas we can squeeze without impacting growth," Lungisa Fuzile, director-general of the Treasury, said in an interview in Cape Town. "We may look at certain opportunities where certain taxes can be increased."
Moody's Investors Service cut the rating on the government's debt by one level to Baa1 on Sept. 27, citing increased pressure to boost social spending as job losses mount. Strikes that began at Lonmin Plc's Marikana mine on Aug. 10 spread to operations owned by Anglo American Platinum Ltd., Gold Fields Ltd. and AngloGold Ashanti Ltd., costing 10.1 billion rand in lost production, according to the Treasury.
Moody's and Standard & Poor's, which lowered South Africa's rating to BBB on Oct. 12, highlighted increased policy risks as the ruling African National Congress pushes for "radical" programs to address poverty and unemployment. About 16 million people, or a third of the population of 50.6 million, receive welfare grants.
'Little Understanding'
"I am not sure whether people who have very little understanding of the South African environment and politics are in a position to anticipate all sort of things," Gordhan said in an interview today in his Cape Town office. "Why didn't they wait for the ANC conference to be over, and if something disastrous happened there they can take whatever decision they want."
South Africa is running bigger deficits than other major emerging markets and its action is counter to fiscal austerity measures in European nations, including Greece and Spain, aimed at trimming fiscal deficits to avoid debt defaults. Brazil is targeting a public-sector gap of 1.6 percent of GDP for 2012, while Turkey is projecting 2.3 percent for its central government shortfall.
Interest Payments
Gross debt in South Africa is set to increase to 42.4 percent of GDP in the year through March 2014 from a February estimate of 42.2 percent and to peak at 42.7 percent in the year after that.
Interest payments on debt are projected to rise 8.9 percent a year over the next three years, reaching 114.8 billion rand in 2015/16, the Treasury said. South Africa will spend 89 billion rand to service debt this fiscal year, more than on policing and schools and second only to welfare payments, its data show.
"We are very close to the upper limits of what we can fund through debt," Fuzile said.
Investors reacted to the credit rating downgrades by selling rand-denominated assets. The currency has plunged 5.1 percent against the dollar since the Moody's downgrade, the biggest decline of 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
Gordhan lowered his forecast for economic growth this year to 2.5 percent from 2.7 percent, and cut next year's estimate to 3 percent from 3.6 percent. The economy will probably expand 3.8 percent in 2014, down from an earlier projection of 4.2 percent.
"If GDP growth does not match expectations, revenue will fall short of current forecasts, implying the need for policy shifts to achieve the targets in the fiscal framework," the Treasury said. "An appropriate balance between spending restraint and new revenue initiatives would be necessary, taking into account the need to limit the potential impact on growth, employment and equity. The risk of further sovereign downgrades needs to be considered."

Now you can watch the Hulk get up close and personal with his director.
Back during the Avengers: Age of Ultron press tour, Joss Whedon was burned out and spoke very candidly about his struggles with Marvel over balancing the story elements in the super-sequel. After a year to decompress, Whedon has decided to revisit the project.
Along with his seminal work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, wonder-geek Joss Whedon has also left a mark on the comic side of Marvel's empire. Now he's making a return trip for a brand new Captain America story.
So, what's going on with these rumors of a possible sequel for the critically acclaimed horror movie Cabin in the Woods? Drew Goddard has some answers.
Joss Whedon claims he didn't put a lot of Easter eggs in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but he couldn't resist at least one.
Joss Whedon is fine with the final version. Also, he's lazy.
