LISTEN: Steve Angello teams up with Matisse & Sadko on 'SLVR'
Listen to Steve Angello on iHeartRadio
Steve Angello has another milestone to add to his career, his 100th release on his own Size Records. The relase comes in the form of a collaboration with Russian duo Mattisse & Sadko, called "SLVR." The 100th release comes just as the label reaches its 10 year anniversary.
"SLVR" is an absolutley massive and addicting anthem - and don't let name fool you. Although it looks like a bunch of letters, the song is pronounced 'silver.' Recently premiered by Pete Tong, the synth-heavy track with an ear-catching melody is sure to be one of the tracks of the summer - especially throughout the rest of festival season.
Steve Angello and Matisse & Sadko's collaboration will be available on Beatport on August 12.

"antidepressant drugs, for me, they're like antibiotics ," he says.
[It] does not resemble standard antipsychotic, antidepressant, antianxiety or hypnotic drugs in simple drug interaction tests.
But this week, a study on antidepressant use appeared, and shocked many.
Psychiatrists had prescribed various drugs, including an antidepressant, Celexa, for his routine use.
However, it can interfere seriously with blood thinners and should never be taken with other antidepressant drugs.
"A doctor would never prescribe more than one antidepressant," says Dr. Frank Vaccaro, a prominent New York psychiatrist.
She began to attend therapy and to see a psychiatrist, who prescribed an antidepressant.

FONTANA - The roof of a motorcycle warehouse office collapsed amid heavy rains on Thursday, causing an estimated $200,000 damage.
It was one of several emergencies triggered by a storm that dropped more than a half-inch of rain in some parts of the Inland Empire.
San Bernardino County fire officials said the collapse at Parts Unlimited in the 11000 block of Mulberry Avenue occurred because about a foot of water had collected on the flat roof due to clogged drains.
The roof fell about 20 feet, sending so much debris and water into the 1,000-square-foot office that it pushed file cabinets into the parking lot.
"It was basically like a waterfall coming down into the office," said San Bernardino County Fire Department spokeswoman Tracey Martinez.
An employee had walked out of the office to the warehouse shortly before the collapse, escaping injury.
"She's pretty lucky. She was pretty shaken up," Martinez said.
No other employees were in the office at the time.
The impact triggered the building's fire alarm at 4:56 p.m. Firefighters shored up the structure to prevent further damage.
"We just tried to make it safer," Martinez said.
The storm brought rain, lightning, hail to the area and some snow to the local mountains.
Some areas, such as San Bernardino, Lake Arrowhead, Chino Hills and Wrightwood measured more than a quarter-inch of rain. Angelus Oaks reported receiving more than a half-inch.
Lightning struck a Rancho Cucamonga home on Thursday afternoon, igniting a small fire. No one was home.
The storm also caused flooding to a couple of homes in Fontana, as well as roads and freeways.
Despite the drastic change in weather, Martinez said residents should remain cautious about the upcoming Santa Ana wind season and the potential for fires.
"We don't want people to become complacent," she said. "We expect the weather to warm up again."

Move Policy
Office Move
The Office of Information Technology and Facilities Operations work closely to provide office relocation services to campus community. Moves covered by the procedures outlined below include:
First Step
Request Procedures
Request for the move must be submitted four weeks prior to the move. Fill out and submit the Office Move Request Form to Facilities Operation. Your request will not be processed without required signatures. If there is cost involved, your request will not be processed without the approval of the funding.
Move requests due to the following reasons will be processed and scheduled immediately:
All other requests will be processed in the order of receipt and scheduled into the next available "campus moving day". Due to the large volume of requests and limited resources, there may be a 6-8 weeks wait until the actual moving date. OIT and Facilities Operations have designated Fridays as the "Office moving day". Moves will be scheduled to achieve maximum efficiency and cost benefit, particularly with respect to the utilization of the moving contractor.
Employee will be notified two weeks prior to the actual moving date. Employee do not need to be present for the move. However, the move may be rescheduled if the preparation is not completed (see Preparation for the Move).
Additional fees will be assessed for new furniture, renovation, mechanical or cosmetic work as result of the move. In this case, the cost will be directly billed to the department/school. The average fees are listed as follows. The actual cost may vary depending on the room layout, underlying building structure, and availability of the services:
If new furniture is required, Facilities Services will work with you to select the furniture and provide a cost estimate. Note that any additions/changes may cause delays of the move and furniture orders take on average 12 weeks for delivery.
Preparation for the Move
If your move has been fully approved then follow the steps outlined below to prepare for your move. A successful move is best achieved by good planning. If more than one employee is moving within a department, having one person from the department to help coordinate the move process is highly recommended. Questions about upcoming move should be directed to:
Packing Your Office
Packing up your office is your responsibility. Cardboard boxes and tape can be provided. Call extension 26070 to request packing materials. Contents of all file cabinets, desks and bookcases will need to be packed prior to your move date. Label everything clearly with your name, department and new building and room number. It is strongly recommended that you or a designee be present on moving day. It is also recommended that you provide contact information to Facilities Operations for the move. Note that only state-owned properties will be moved.
Moving Telephone
In general, you will be using your current telephone in your new location. Label your phone with your name, department, new building and room number. OIT will transfer your phone number to the new location right before the scheduled move. When you arrive at your new office, please verify that there is a dial-tone on your phone. Your calls will now begin ringing on your desk. If there are any changes in office location and/or moving date, please contact IT Help Desk as soon as you have that information. A minimum of two days is required to adjust for any changes. Otherwise, service will not be available at the time you move into your new office.
Moving Computers and Printers
Facilities Services personnel will physically move computers and printers but they will not unplug or un-cable equipment. Guidelines for moving equipment are as follows:
After the Move
As you settling into your new office, a few things to follow up:
- Office Move Request Form - Updated 8/10/2011

text: All-aroundThese bloggers give you a little (or a lot) of everything: news, research advice, their own family stories, photos, opinions and more. There's no one quite like the Genealogue, so we thought about that blog for awhile. It landed in this category because the Genealogue posts a satirical take on genealogy news, holds occasional research challenges and blogs about his own family history every so often.Personal/FamilyThese blogs primarily cover the blogger's (or, in a case or two or more, bloggers') own research and ancestors. Family historians write what they know and what's important to them, so this is our biggest category.Local/RegionalMost posts in these blogs cover resources, genealogy events and history for a city, town, state or region.CemeteryThese blogs focus on cemetery research, gravestone photos and the like.Photos/HeirloomsContent on these blogs is primarily about sharing, researching and preserving family photos and/or heirlooms.HeritageHere, blog content focuses on a particular heritage group, such as African-American, Jewish or Irish. We had some tough decisions in this category, as some family-related genealogy blogs by nature also examine that family's ethnic heritage.News/ResourcesBlogs in this category deliver a range of genealogy news and information about new resources.How-toThese blogs have instructional content on genealogical resources and methodology. In some cases, bloggers wrote about their own research and ancestors, but framed posts in an instructional manner. Genealogy CompaniesBlogs in this category are written on behalf of a genealogy company, and contain helpful (but not overly advertising-oriented) information on the company's products, as well as other resources.Genetic GenealogyBlogs that are primarily about genetic genealogy and family health history.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
This one is specifically for the Asian guys. If you want to find the best barber for non-Asian hair, check out Dane Hesse of Eagle and Pig or A-Unique Barbershop in Anaheim (you can find both of them in last year's Best Of). Now, on to the Asians: Finding a barber who can do Asian hair is a pain in the ass. The face shapes are different, and Asian hair is super-smooth, so it can be hard to cut. Enter Sola Salon Studios. The owner is Korean, the most stylish of Asians, and he's got the requisite sense of style, but the thing that puts him over all of the other Asian stylists is this: He's not afraid of calling you out on your shit. Have a bad idea? Eye roll. Bad prior cut? He'll talk shit on your old barber, and he'll recommend something you didn't even know you wanted. He's the kind of guy who'll tell you something you don't want to hear so you end up getting a better cut, and for most of us second-generation-ers, that's just what we need.
Gabrielle Dion is not only one of the best bartenders in Orange County, but she also runs the best bar store in the land. Need some non-Angostura bitters? Head to the Mixing Glass in the South Coast Collection's OC Mix. Need some quality barware? Head to the Mixing Glass. Need a goddamn absinthe spoon? Yeah, you can probably find it there. And then while you're shopping, go ahead and take advantage of Dion's knowledge and sign up for one of her classes. There's really nowhere else you'll need to visit to outfit the hardware side of your bar. Now, if only there were a cocktail bar at the Mix. . . .
Forget Sur La Table and Williams-Sonoma, as purty as they are for your kitchenware needs: Go to H-Mart. You might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but it's a breeze. Pots and pans? Cheap, normal-looking and functional. Chopsticks? So many chopsticks. And the knives? Who needs Shun or Henckels when you have a Kiwi cleaver that can lop off your hand? Best yet, it costs $8 and comes wrapped in plastic in a cardboard box full of other Kiwi cleavers. Nice kitchen stuff is a nice luxury, sure, but seriously, next time you're buying sashimi, take a walk down the kitchen aisle. Dare you to leave without a cleaver.
This fall, Japanese fashion giant Uniqlo opened in South Coast Plaza and finally gave young twentysomething men in Orange County a place to buy basics that isn't H&M, American Apparel or, well, Target. The premise is exciting: Affordable, high-quality basics. Timeless, but well-fit cuts. Flexible styles. It's something that should've happened years ago. But then, years ago, Uniqlo didn't even have any U.S. locations. It didn't operate in the country until 2005, when the company quietly opened three small stores on the East Coast. The first West Coast location didn't open until 2012, and that one is in San Francisco. The buzz quickly outgrew the brick-and-mortars, and soon people were buying through proxy services, visiting stores while on vacation, and biting the bullet and buying blind online. The South Coast store is the first in Southern California, after 16 other Uniqlos have opened in distinctly less Asian areas of the United States. But hey, that'll be forgiven—just give us some cheap oxfords.
Usually when one hears of a high-school gym teacher's heroism, it involves a winning strategy to remove the itch from jock straps. (God bless you, Mr. Reusch.) But that's not why the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, honored 57-year-old Richard Irvin "Rick" Moore of Laguna Niguel. On Aug. 14, 2013, the teacher from Creekside High School in Irvine was vacationing in Maui; he heard a scream and saw a young woman in bloodied water about 150 feet off a beach. Without regard for his own safety, Moore darted across the sand, jumped into the surf and rescued the 20-year-old, who'd been bitten by a tiger shark. Sadly, the German national died about a week later in a hospital. Moore was among 22 people honored in July with medals and cash awards from the organization named for Pittsburgh industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.
The Fullerton-based nonprofit Orange County Veterans Employment Committee (OCVEC) helps connect returning (or long-returned) U.S. veterans with the resources available for them. The goal is to match vets who need jobs and services with those who can provide those things, especially if the providers are veterans themselves. The state Employment Development Department has co-sponsored job fairs with OCVEC, and the nonprofit has sent vets to job centers in Irvine, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Buena Park and Westminster. To help get vets where they need to be, OCVEC has provided gas cards, bus passes, career-development training, OSHA certification fees, security-guard card fees, state licensing fees, work clothing, tools, computers and networking assistance. Considering the wars this country is getting out of—as well as, alas, getting into—OCVEC's work is only going to grow more critical in the years ahead.

Open Journal of Medical Microbiology,
Vol.4 No.1,
We developed and evaluated a multiplex PCR (m-PCR) for application in routine diagnostic laboratories to detect Campylobacter spp. in stool samples including C. concisus, C. jejuni, and C. coli. When this m-PCR was applied on spiked faecal samples, C. concisus, C. jejuni, and C. coli were specifically identified at 105 cells/gm of faeces. To compare the sensitivity of the m-PCR with conventional culture techniques, the same spiked stool samples were cultured on an antibiotic free Columbia blood agar using the filtration technique. The detection limit of conventional culture method was 105 cells/gm of stool for C. concisus and 106 cells/gm of stool for C. jejuni and C. coli. The m-PCR was applied to test 127 faecal samples from children with gastroenteritis and the results were compared with the conventional bacterial cultures data. By this m-PCR technique, C. jejuni was detected in 7 samples, C. coli in 2 samples, and C. concisus in 7 samples. However, the conventional culture results for these samples were 6 for C. jejuni, 2 for C. coli and only one sample was positive for C. concisus. In total, 19 samples were positive for Campylobacter spp. by m-PCR while only 9 samples were positive for Campylobacter spp. by culture. In conclusion, m-PCR is more sensitive than the culture technique to detect C. concisus and other fastidious campylobacters in faeces.

The library is launching the beta phase of its new website today. We are joining the many departments and colleges on campus running a Drupal website. We're excited about the possibilities this software will give us to develop useful and fun new features to the library website.
We're implementing this beta phase in order to let our users test out the site before we replace the existing website. We'll be doing usability studies to make sure it's working the way it should. We'll also be listening to everyone's comments and fine-tuning it over the next couple weeks.
We would love to have your feedback and suggestions for the site. Please fill out our feedback form and help us make the site better.
Thank you,

Down 10 early, the Wright State men's basketball team outscored VMI by 20 to close out the first half and then added 54 more points in the second half in rolling to a 92-59 decision over the Keydets Saturday night at WSU's Nutter Center.
VMI scored the first five points of the game and led 16-6 on a Tim Marshall three with 12:31 remaining in the first half. The margin was still eight at 23-15 before the Raiders went on a 15-0 run over a 4:13 span, six by Miles Dixon and five from Regge Arceneaux, to take the lead for good.
The Keydets closed to within two before WSU tallied the final eight points of the half, including three more from Arceneaux, to go up 38-28 at the break.
Wright State shot 44 percent in the first half while VMI hit for 35 percent.
WSU gradually extended its lead in the second half, going up as much as 35 twice in the final minutes.
The 92 points are the most by the Raiders since a 94-80 win over Green Bay on February 27, 2005.
Wright State shot 52 percent overall, was 19 of 22 from the foul line and led in points in the paint (48-16), points off of turnovers (17-6), second-chance points (13-7) and fast-break points (14-4). VMI, meanwhile, shot 35 percent from the field and was 19 of 34 at the line.
Arceneaux paced WSU with a career-high 22 points, eclipsing his previous high of 19 set last December 20 against Idaho. The sophomore guard also added seven assists.
Dixon added 15 for Wright State while Matt Vest had 11 points and six assists as 12 Raiders scored in the contest.
Marshall paced VMI (4-6) with 11 off the bench.
Wright State (6-3) heads to Hofstra on Saturday, December 15, for a 2:00 contest.

Friedman recounted a call from Stevens about bar mitzvah etiquette and what sort of gift to bring.
He'd come to your child's bar mitzvah, but his interest in synagogues seemed anthropological.
But my bar mitzvah rabbi survived the camps, camps he could have probably avoided because of his Aryan looks.
The story undermined my entire Hebrew-school education and sucked all the pleasure out of my bar mitzvah.
In August, Horowitz became an Internet sensation when his bar mitzvah performance went viral.
Last week I wrote about Sam Horowitz, the bar mitzvah boy who went viral via his Las Vegas style dance routine.
On her bar mitzvah year: "I had the busiest social calendar in New York"
Drake's bar mitzvah Dance No 13-year-old has ever had as much swagger as Drake, then simply Aubrey Graham, at his bar mitzvah.
Being clever, before he was 13 years old, when he became "bar mitzvah," he had gained a thorough Talmudical education.
Now I'm called to go to a bar mitzvah, but will write you again very soon.
1861, in Judaism, "male person who has completed his 13th year and thus reached the age of religious responsibility," from Hebrew, literally "son of command." As a name for the ceremony itself, by 1941.

my first step by step.
i hadn't seen one like this before, and it works for me so i thought i'd share it
my first step by step.
i hadn't seen one like this before, and it works for me so i thought i'd share it
obvious mental insanity zone
one must insure zen
did this it works fantasticly aslong as you get the one were the nib isn't larger then were it ataches to the bottle
also true about kiwi mop unless you replace it with more nib such as sponge or felt
Throw a piece of spondge or somthing below the felt too it acts as the ink cartridge thing you replaced you can even use ghetto krink/junobo in the shit too
i could knock together a step by step on fixing/recycling bingo/squeezer nibs if anyones interested?
Do it!!
Here it is then people, pretty straight forward
you will need. . . .
stanly knife and scissors, cloth or old sock, sponge, gloves and an old tip/nib
with the stanly pick out the old fabric of the nip being careful not to jab your fingers!
when you have it all out it will look thusly
now with your scissors cut a bit of fabric/sock thats a couple mill bigger in diameter than the nib itself, sponge about the size of the nib cubed,
put the sponge on the nib with the cloth over it and with the stanly blade start pushing the fabric into the ridge of the nib
go round a few times till its all tucked in, again careful you dont stab yourselfs retards
done! juice it up and murder shit
hope you find useful, done it a shit ton of times now, works a treat!
fucken dope man
Sick xD
Any1 can tell me from where to find nibs? I used sponge and it sux.
thanks, you right have nice day
that homemade ink which all do sucks balls. I mean, why dafuq i must buy pens and alcohol and other shit. I made a paint myself very easy and I'll tell u how:
- Buy some glue with a nib upside (very cheap, few cents at my country)
- The water based glue put in some bottle or bucket or smth like that, but be sure to keep it
- Buy acrylic, temper color
- Find some small bucket for mixture
- In the small bucket put very small quantity of the water based glue, then put the acryl color and at the end throw water(but not so much)
- Then just mix to make perfect paint color
- Put the paint in the MOP
- Wreck the city
for anything that u dont know or if u r confused just ask me here or PM
Nice and simple
anyone know how to make good ink from carbon paper?
Everybody that doesn't want to do all that d.i.y, buy a kiwi shoe Polish thing or maybe your dad has one, clean, insert ink, take the valve out if you like em drippy as hell, be happy with what you created.
They don't make carbon paper the same as they did early 90s etc... go with rusto or trremclad with some thinner n bam *****
thanks so much
where i can get the thread or chalkboard eraser

Faxien is easy-to-use and convinient tool for managing Erlang/OTP applications and releases in our system. It supports obtaining and publishing packages from and to repositories.
Sinan is a build system for Erlang/OTP projects, which has support for dependency checking, building, creating releases, tars and running dialyzer. Both of that products were created by Erlware - an Erlang developer central.
More information about Faxien and Sinan you can find on Erlware home site
Installing Faxien and Sinan
In order to install Faxien, you should get one of the bootstrap installers (platform-indepentent python version or the one suitable for your system) from Google Code project page. Then run it typing:
python ./faxien-launcher-universal.py or sh ./faxien-launcher-*.sh [path_to_install_directory]
If you have installed Faxien as a root (in default directory, i.e. /usr/local/erlware) you have to install all applications/releases also as a root.
Now, after having Faxien installed, we want to get Sinan too:
faxien install-release sinan
Creating project with Sinan
To list all Sinan commands with short descriptions you should run:
sinan help
So, according to it, you have to run:
sinan gen
and provide Sinan all the information it needs. If you want to use any local repository for satisfying dependencies (during the development cycle we can use some applications, which are not in global one) you should add it to the list during "sinan gen" wizard - or after it by editing _build.cfg file in the main project directory.
Sinan should generate default directory tree for your project. It should looks like (running `tree` in my_project directory):
. |-- _build.cfg |-- doc `-- lib `-- my_app |-- doc | `-- overview.edoc |-- ebin | `-- my_app.app |-- include `-- src |-- my_app_app.erl `-- my_app_sup.erl
Let's make a short description about generated files:
- _build.cfg - major configuration file for Sinan. It contains information about project name, version, URI's to repositories, ignored apps and so on.
- doc - after generating project scaffold is empty, but that's the place where you should place your documentation files
- lib - directory where your application files will be stored. It's structure is the same as Erlang application convence. To add new application to your project you should create it's directory tree here (with proper ebin/.app file)
So - now your project is ready to be developed.
After writing some part of code you will probably want to test/compile it:
# it's the same as `sinan build` sinan # or for launching tests sinan test
Sinan will automatically deal with all the dependencies you used in your applications (try to download them from the repositories you which you have passed during the generator wizard). Unfortunately, if Sinan can't find some package which will satisfy one of the dependecy - it will crash without the information about missing package. In some cases it is possible to figure out what's wrong by checking the log: ~/.sinan/logs/kernel.log.
Built project will be placed in _build/development directory (it is default path - you can change it in your _build.cfg file).
Creating new repository
Sometimes you will have to create your own, local repository. So if you are not interested in doing that, skip to the next section.
I have decided to set up local repository using Lighttpd server with its mod_webdav. Firstly - install both (on Debian):
sudo apt-get install lighttpd lighttpd-mod-webdav
Then, create a directory for your repository (e.g. /var/www/repo) and modify /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf as follows:
- uncomment "mod_wbdav" in server.modules section
- add this code to the end of the file:
webdav.activate = "enable" webdav.is-readonly = "disable" webdav.sqlite-db-name = "/var/run/lighttpd/lighttpd.webdav_lock.db"
After doing that you will be able to access your repository via http://127.0.0.1/repo or via http://your_externel_ip_address/repo.
In some cases, when Sinan's dependecy check fails you can look at your lighttpd logs (they are placed in /var/log/lighttpd/ directory): from time to time they can tell you something more about the source of the error.
Generating release and distribution tar's
After the long hours of developing your project, finally comes the time to generate your release. Sinan has got a function to do it. All you need is to run:
sinan release # or for creating tarballs: sinan dist
There is a relation between Sinan's commands:
check_depends -> build -> release -> dist
so you don't need to invoke `sinan release` before creating tarballs.
To provide an easy way of launching our release you have to prepare a proper start script. To do it, create cmds directory in your project main folder and write such a script inside it:
#!/bin/sh #### Fill in values for these variables #### REL_NAME=your_application_name REL_VSN=your_release_version ERTS_VSN=your_erts_version INVOCATION_SUFFIX="additional_information_for_erlexec_,_leave_blank_if_you_don't_want_to_pass_anything" ########################################### PROG=$0 test -h $0 && PROG=$(readlink $0) PREFIX=$(cd $(dirname $(dirname $PROG)); pwd) export ROOTDIR=$PREFIX/application_packages/$ERTS_VSN export BINDIR=$PREFIX/erts_packages/erts-$ERTS_VSN/bin export EMU=beam export PROGNAME=erl export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/erts/$ERTS_VSN/lib REL_DIR=$PREFIX/release_packages/$REL_NAME-$REL_VSN/release $BINDIR/erlexec -config $REL_DIR/sys.config -boot $REL_DIR/$REL_NAME $INVOCATION_SUFFIX
(this script is the modified version of script published on Erlware's tutorial: http://www.erlware.org/erlware/tutorial.html).
Because of that script, everyone who will install your release, will be able to run your release by typing name of that script in his shell (of course, his PATH environment must point at bin/ directory inside the root Faxien's folder).
Publishing your application/release
After some time, when you have tested your application and you are ready to share it with other people, you will probably want to publish it on some repository servers.
In order to publish your application, you will need to go your build directory (by default it is _build/development), change to apps folder and simply run:
faxien publish name_of_your_application
Faxien should publish your application on all repositories it has. To change them, take a look at:
faxien help faxien help commands faxien help examples
If you want to publish your release, switch to the tar directory (by default _build/development/tar) and use the same command as above:
faxien publish name_of_your_application-version.tar.gz
Installing applications/releases from Faxien's repositories
The last thing you need to know is how to get and install any package from the repository. Faxien has built in his own search engine, so when you don't exactly remember the name of the package, use it:
faxien search # or if you want to use some help faxien help search
Ok, let's assume you know the name of the package you want to install. To do it, run as a root (if you have installed Faxien in the default directory - or don't have write permissions to its root folder):
# for application: faxien install-app # for release: faxien install-release
The desired package will be placed in application_packages/$ERTS_VSN/ or release_packages/ directory inside the Faxien's root folder.
Well, that's everything you need to know about Sinan and Faxien. Now, you are able to
- generate new project
- build it
- make release
- publish it
- install it
Good luck!

Last week, an 8-year-old boy walking along a beach in England picked up a $60,000 piece of whale barf.
Note: "Whale barf" is not the technical or Latin name for the substance regurgitated by whales. That would be "Mobyus yakus." Ask a marine biologist.
As reported in the Bournemouth Echo, what Charlie Naysmith actually found was a large chunk of ambergris, a large waxy substance that is "spewed out by whales" and then hardens as it floats.
Ambergris enable sperm whales to digest pointy things such as squid beaks, sailing ships, rowboats, oars and the occasional sailor with a peg leg.
Another note: There is some debate over exactly which end of a whale the ambergris comes out of, but either way it's highly prized as a fixative in perfume.
Yeah. Bet you didn't know that dab of Chanel Chance Eau Tendre you dabbed behind your ears Friday night started out in a whale's colon.
Back to the real story specifically that of finding really cool stuff while just wandering around minding one's own business.
I'm not talking about finding something you were actually looking for in the first place. Any fool can do that. Nope. I'm talking the art of recognizing valuable things amongst all the trash and junk.
As a small-time finder myself, I've come across some interesting things that jumped out at me from the background.
For example, a small gray pebble on the Stone's River Battlefield in Tennessee turned out to be at 58-caliber Minie ball.
A bit of green paper on a littered beach in Washington state ended up being a water-logged but still spendable $100 bill.
An old piece of pipe I was thinking about kicking turned out to be, on closure inspection, an old but live 81mm mortar round. This one was my most valuable find.
Meanwhile, back when I was a cop, a pile of old rags in the desert turned out to be a dead guy. Twice in two days.
Your brain has to be in subconscious finder mode before you'll stop and give something a second (and potentially rewarding) look.
Strolling along absently humming a brainless commercial jingle, your finder mode alert suddenly kicks off. Let's try it in real time:
You: "Dum-dee-dum-du-."
Your brain: "AH-OOOGA! Bottle cap. Looked a bit like a gold doubloon!"
As impressive as it may seem, I'm not all that wowed by Naysmith's strange find. I've spent way too much time with Sonny. He finds everything. The guy is in finder mode nonstop.
And we're not just walking around when he does it. He finds this stuff while driving.
I can't count the number of times I've been sound asleep in the middle of nowhere only to be jerked awake by the squeal of brakes.
Me: "Is it Bigfoot!"
Him: "No, that penny we just ran over. Looked like a 1913 S Wheat."
The thing that makes me crazy is how often he's right.
I have seen him find a purse, a pistol, assorted snakes, a switchblade, illegal drugs, arrowheads, an engagement ring, a cannonball, countless tools, a Brazilian passport, an unopened bottle of tequila and two lost dogs all at speeds well in excess of the posted limit.
If a bit of expensive whale vomit was actually there, I'm betting Sonny could spot it in a freeway median while passing by at 75 mph. At night. In the rain. That's some serious talent.
Ambergris washed in from the sea is nothing. In 1958, the U.S. military lost a hydrogen bomb off the coast of Georgia. They still can't find it.
Give Sonny and me a Ford F-150 (red) submarine. I figure an hour tops, but only because it'll take me that long to fall asleep first.

Listen to The TMZ Report on iHeartRadio
Apple says the nude celebrity photos that have flooded the Internet did not result from a breach of its iCloud or Find my iPhone systems. The computer giant acknowledged that "certain celebrity accounts" were compromised by a "very targeted attack" on user names, passwords and security questions.
Apple's statement said none of the cases investigated were related to an iCloud breach. The company says it continues to work with law enforcement to track down the hackers.
Apple says it was outraged by news of the theft and immediately mobilized its engineers to discover the source.

Stott, Rebecca. Darwin's Ghosts
After the publication of his seminal The Origin of Species, Darwin was chastised by his fellows for not discussing the many thinkers and scientists who had entertained similar evolutionary ideas and hypotheses before him. Thus, in the third edition of his work, Darwin wrote up a preface entitled "An Historical Sketch" to fill that gap. But his preface was just what he called it…a sketch, little more than a list of names with very little background or information. Stott here remedies that lack, delving deeply into the historical record to provide brief but information-rich biographies of some of the great thinkers who preceded Darwin's theory of natural selection. She begins with Aristotle, who, while exiled to the island of Lesbos, undertook one of the first large-scale biological surveys of the rich sea life to be found there. From there, Stott covers other such luminaries as Leonardo da Vinci; 9th century Islamic polymath al-Jahiz; French scientists Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, Georges-Louis Leclerc de Buffon; Georges Cuvier; Darwin's contemporary Alfred Russel Wallace; and Darwin's own grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, among others. In the process, Stott conclusively demonstrates that, while evolution itself was still a controversial idea and one which ruined or nearly ruined the lives and careers of many of its early proponents, it was an idea whose time had come by the time Darwin's book was published. His work was not done in a vacuum, building as it did on a long and rich intellectual history; The Origin of Species merely provided the most fully conceptualized theory and the only one which provided an observable, viable method by which evolution occurred—natural selection.
Fascinating, well-researched, and never dry, Darwin's Ghosts is a treasure-trove for both those already interested in the topic and those coming to this history for the first time. Recommended.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Pokes12, Jan 23, 2013.
I think being elusive and being a good runner are not the same thing. Tony is elusive.
As I argued 3 or 4 years ago...the pistol is NOT a gimmick. And it is NOT going away.
Pretty much my sentiment. I just don't think Romo would have enough straight line speed.
But the read-option IS a gimmick and WILL go away.
I don't think the read option goes away entirely, but selective use a few times a game can be effective. The game is so fast on both offense and defense, any thing that the offense can do to make the defense react a split second slower sometimes is enough to give a blocker an edge, or a runner the time to find the crease. As long as you can do it, and not subject the qb to brutal hits, it should find a niche in the NFL
A month or two ago I probably declared this exact thing: It's much quarterback injury risk to have them running. But then while watching the Atlanta-Seattle game I started comparing who was taking the most punishment.
Ryan is one of the less mobile quarterbacks in the NFL and he was getting slammed...in some very vulnerable positions. A lot of big hits just as he released the ball. (A week later we of course witnessed Ryan being injured right at the most crucial point of the 49er game.)
Meanwhile Wilson, while in the pocket, was using his legs to create tremendous air between him and the defenders. When he did run he was usually smart to avoid big hits.
Wilson has tremendous balance and a compact frame.
RG3, contrastively, has some long gangly legs. That guy is going to be perpetually vulnerable to knee injury no matter what style of offense he plays in.
I suspect RGIII and Johnny Manziel are going to have short careers and miss games. But when they are healthy...they are going to be devastatingly dangerous in a pistol type offense.
The Skins are set up pretty good. They have RG3...AND a good backup.
Things that aren't debatable at all:
1. Redskins likely done with read-option.
2. Pistol is just a formation twist on a shotgun; but it is not a standard lineup of players. It is a one back hybrid that uses a short shotgun.
3. QBs who run the ball take more hits than those who throw it away.
4. Each QB hit takes a toll on the QB.
5. Miami (which had no real QB) won games with the Wildcat and that popularized the formation.
Other stuff which is more theory or opinion:
1. SF played one team and looked terrible the second half of the season and that team faces the pistol every day in practice.
2. The two pistol teams who faced each other in the playoffs combined for less than 300 gross passing yards.
3. Seattle was a mere 1 of 6 in that game versus Washington once they hit the red zone.
4. DE/OLB can actually start to take away RBs and leave the QB. That forces the QB to run and thus risk LBs hitting them very hard.
5. Because the QB and HB are at the same spot for the read, the DE can actually hit both players.
Defending the Pistol:
Basically you want to play a cover 3 type defense and mix in liberal use of blitzes. The single deep back and short shotgun make getting shots on the QB fairly easy. Because of this you see very few deep patterns NORMALLY.
As we saw in game 1, Wash knew the Cowboys were preparing for a pistol and they flat out suckered them up then went deep.
BUT, the second half adjustments in that game lend itself to exactly what I mean about NFL teams getting better and better versus the formation. Even with a massive lead Washington allowed 3 sacks and only scored 10 second half points.
The Skins won't run the pistol anymore and the Seahawks won't win anything with that offense going forward. Pistol QBs absolutely take more hits than standard formation QBs do. ATL has a huge hole at pass rusher.
Atlanta won the game by shutting out the Seahawks in the first half.
The Seahawks abandoned any real Pistol or read option stuff because they were down huge and ran a basic 2 minute offense. Seattle carved up a bend but dont break defense in the second half but didn't score enough to complete the comeback. There was very little different above what Dallas did to Wash in the 2nd half of game 1 and what Sea did to ATL. Romo threw for more yards because thats what he does and Wilson rushed for more because that's what he does, but the scheme was basically the same. 1 back, 2 minute package type stuff.
"non-debatable" points
1) you are wrong (well at least it's not a debate type answer )
2) agree
3) semi agree, on the run option later in the year, you saw all the running qb's taking sideline angles. Even hobbling, Griffin was able to get a 9 yd run on Seattle's d, and as another poster said, I saw pocket qb's take several hard shots in the course of the playoffs. The key is more that you have to play smart, and throw away, slide or get out of bounds instead of being the "superman" of the NFL
4) agree
5) The % Miami won with the wildcat is in no way comparable to the win % and pts per game that the Pistol offense put up against the rest of the league. so while the point is non-debatable, it's fairly irrelevant.
1) I am not saying the pistol or the zone read option are unstoppable, only that they both can be used effectively in today's NFL. If you watched the SF Seattle game, you know that the 49ers lost that due to the 12th man effect, and couldn't even execute simple plays.
2) I don't think Griffin in the playoff game is worth discussing. Look at the 1st quarter when he was near full speed. Wilson only put up more than 300 passing yards once, against Atlanta, a team that has played Cam Newton 4 times, the Skins 1 time, and is most likely a good blue print for other teams to follow.
3) The skins were a high % red zone offense, but I guess if you are trying to say it doesn't work as well in the red zone I don't really know one way or the other. There were times we could score easily and times when opponents shut it down.
4) That is what a lot of teams did do, but the third option of the pistol is the quick screen or mid field pass, both of which leave the qb protected but open to a shot if a olb is fast enough, of course the TE will get his 7-10 yards. It's still a physical game.
5) ok, again, in real games, Griffin, Wilson, and CK were not taking big hits from the pistol, why, because they know what is coming and could protect themselves with good decisions.
The one truly non-debatable point is that this off-season, a lot of defensive and offensive brain power is going to be invested around the use of both the pistol formation, and the zone read option play and next year will tell a lot about its long term viability.
From Advanced NFL Stats:
QB hits:
Washington and Atlanta are tied at #6 giving up 80. SF had one less than Dallas (72,71) Seattle had 70, Carolina had 58. Other notables: Indianpolis had 114, GB had 92, New England has 77. We aren't talking about game changing increased numbers of hits. Every NFL qb takes hits.
Brady went out for a year due to a hit, Manning as well, Theismann ended his career due to a hit.
Like I said before, with the protections afforded a qb, he can manage the hits, he just has to be smart, and live to play another day.
Really good post. This is why I think Romo can execute the Pistol as well as these other QBs. He has the added ability to make the correct read, hand off or fade back and toss it to an open wide out.
You need an offensive line to be able to hold up their blocks during this time, and since they've proven to be poorer at run blocking than pass blocking, unless it's much improved this year I can't see them pulling it off consistently enough to make it worthwhile.
the skins offensive line was essentially the same one that most of our fans wanted replaced. If the defense is forced to play the whole 0-10 yards due to quick screen and mid range pass possibilities they can't pressure as well. a bit of proof for this is to look at our lines performance in pure passing downs. Our RT couldn't block any one in pass pro, which is why Griffin scrambled in the baltimore game which led to his injury. No formation, or play, is a miracle drug in the NFL, but if a formation or play can cause the defense or even one key defender to hesitate, then that may be the difference your blocker or runner needs to get win the play.
Posted from Cowboyszone.com App for Android
I think the thing to watch is how defenses will play the pistol/option next season after DCs have an entire offseason to study it.
If defenses still are having problems, you might see more and more teams start to use this style of offense. However, if defenses start shutting down this offense, you will see more and more teams going back to a more traditional offense.
I do agree with the general premise that the main weakness to the pistol/option offense is that your QB takes alot more hits. That eventually is what killed the run and shoot, teams just started teeing off on the QB instead of trying to cover all of these small, fast, smurf WRs like the Houston Oilers had. Once QBs started getting their teeth knocked out, OCs started leaving more people in to block and that pretty much was the end of the run and shoot.
We can't protect our QB in a regular offense.
The last thing we want to do is expose Romo another season with a broken brone.
5 years, 4 broken bones and a punctured lung.
Romo friendly I'd say.
This thread deserves my very belated
This frim some half boy quoting Trent Dilfer!
Me too.
The quicker we get the ball out the better. Let these guys get the RAC

I have been a bit jealous of Jill Ball and the Flip-Pal scanner she bought back from Rootstech last year.
There has been lots of dicussions about the scanner and what it can do on Facebook and the various discussion forums and Jill has a demo video on her site..
There have been a number of Australians who have visited the States and bought back a Flip-Pal with them and I know it was on a number of people's 2011 Christmas list.
I am really pleased today, as I have ordered a Flip-pal scanner for myself from an Australian distributor. Gould Genealogy are now selling the Flip-Pal with various accessories.
I ordered the one with the Creative Craft CDs (shown above) as I still like to play with craft things when I have some free time, not that I have had a lot of that lately.
It is a portable scanner that has a good depth of field and there have been reports of people visiting relatives and scanning photos still in their frames (does depend how far behind the image is but most people have no problems). The scanenr comes with stitch software which also allows you to scan large items such as deeds and even quilts and then the program 'stitches' the images together.
I also ordered the clear frame you can write on which is a great addition as you can scan a photo then write on this plastic cover as to who the people are or distinctive items in the photo then rescan the photo with this sheet over it so you have an identified photo as well as your original scan!
On a recent Geneabloggers Blogtalk radio episode it was suggested you should get two of these sheets then you could get a real assembly line going with your scanning and identification. Good idea but as I don't have a partner in crime one sheet will do me for now!
My last treat to myself, mainly to keep everything together was a cover. I had a choice of colours. I was tossing up between the red and the purple but the purple won out!
Added 23 MarchCaroline Pointer has just published an excellent post on reasons why you would buy a Flip-Pal. Well worth a read!

Steve Angello launches new label 'X'
Listen to Steve Angello on iHeartRadio
It looks like life after Swedish House Mafia is looking pretty sweet for Steve Angello. To mark the 10 year anniversary of his SIZE label, he has just announced that he launched a brand new label, called "X." If that went over your head, X in roman numerals represents 10.
The new label focuses on the more deeper and techier sounds, catering to those who enjoy the underground ambiance of SIZE, and beyond.
Steve said, "X, it's a new era and it's the ten years of SIZE. X has been something I've had in my head for a very long time. Creativity it gives freedom, fuel, and new life."
"X" kicks off with the release of a new two-track EP from Trent Cantrelle called "Nice & Close." The EP includes its title track "Nice & Close," and a track called "Understand." Step into the underground, and get ready for some deep, dark, and groovy music.
Judging by these tracks, it seems this is exactly what long-time Steve Angello fans have been craving. And now, Steve as "X" to give to them. Listen below:

LEE Barnard's fitness should be among the silver linings after Saints suffered the disappointment of a second successive away League One game being postponed due to the big freeze.
A pitch inspection yesterday morning revealed the pitch at Walsall's Banks's Stadium was frozen and, with no realistic chance of it thawing, the game was given the axe early. It is now scheduled for March 1.
Saints' game at Hartlepool earlier this month was postponed in the same way. But at least it gives key striker Barnard extra chance to get fit in time for Saints' Boxing Day trip to Charlton. Full story in today's Daily Echo

The Australian share market has closed lower as mining stocks were weakened by a fall in iron ore prices, and the market generally worried about falling prices on the Chinese property market.
OptionsXpress market analyst Ben Le Brun said it had been a day to forget on the Australian share market.
"The materials space is out of sorts today, and that is probably testament to the fact that we're looking at the possibility of an iron ore price under a $US100 a tonne for the first time since 2012," Mr Le Brun said.
Mr Le Brun said the energy, industrial, banking and consumer discretionary sectors also had a bad day.
Fears of deflating property prices in China may have pulled down general market sentiment.
"It's a bit of an all-fall-down-story day, today," Mr Le Brun said.

If you've been by one of our buildings recently, you may have noticed we have our "SUMMER @ KPL" banners out of winter storage and ready for another great summer. And indeed we are ready!
Summer reading games for all ages – youngest to oldest patrons – begin on Wednesday, June 15, the last day of school for KPS, and run through Friday, August 26. The rules are simple: read 20 minutes per day, mark it on the game board calendar, win prizes.
For school age children, the goal is to maintain reading skills over the school break. Teens and adults can be encouraging to children by also signing up for the game and reading with children – read out loud or silently together.
We also have many events planned for the summer – concerts, an acrobatic team, Zoomobile, cartooning, storytimes and more. Full information is on our website.
We will celebrate the end-of-summer reading with a family concert in Bronson Park on Sunday afternoon, August 28.
Thanks to our very good friends, the Friends of KPL, for sponsoring all of our summer reading games. Their generous funding is made possible by the proceeds from their bookstore.
Have a safe and fun summer and leave plenty of time for reading!

borden partnership and atelier andrews, los angeles and san marino, calif.
Architects Gail Peter Borden, RA, AIA, and Brian Delford Andrews, RA, covered all the bases—affordability, sustainability, and energy efficiency—in this prototype Houston house. Designed to withstand the trials of Houston humidity, the fiber-cement-clad structure mixes the regional typologies of the shotgun and Charleston floor plans. The long layout captures cross-breezes, which chase the heat upward to 11-foot ceilings and out clerestory windows. Screened porches extend the living space outdoors while offering protection from mosquitoes.
The building was designed for stock materials—no cutting, no waste—and the inverted roof collects rain into a cistern, the source for landscape irrigation. Inside, each room has its own air-conditioning unit, plus space-efficient beds and desks that slide into the wall. "It's about being able to tailor space to the function you're currently doing as opposed to compartmentalizing," Borden explains.
Innovative and environmentally savvy, "the strictly layered concept mediates inside and outside and sends the right messages," said one judge.

Ulcer Foot / Toe
A wound that won't heal - an ulcer - on your lower extremities can severely impact your mobility.
There are three common types of leg and foot ulcers. Each one has a unique treatment program to effectively heal the wound and keep it from returning.
Venous stasis ulcers
Venous ulcers are located below the knee and are primarily found on the inner part of the leg, just above the ankle. These ulcers are common in patients who have a history of leg swelling, varicose veins, or a history of blood clots in either the superficial or the deep veins of the legs.
Venous ulcers affect 500,000 to 600,000 people in the United States every year and account for 80 to 90% of all leg ulcers.
Arterial (ischemic)
Arterial ulcers are usually located on the feet and often occur on the heels, tips of toes, between the toes where the toes rub against one another or anywhere the bones may protrude and rub against bed sheets, socks or shoes.
Arterial ulcers are typically very painful, especially at night. The patient may instinctively dangle his/her foot over the side of the bed to get pain relief. The patient usually has prior knowledge of poor circulation in the legs and may have an accompanying disorder,
Neurotrophic (diabetic)
Neurotrophic ulcers are usually located at increased pressure points on the bottom of the feet. However, neurotrophic ulcers related to trauma can occur anywhere on the foot. They occur primarily in people with diabetes, although they can affect anyone who has an impaired sensation of the feet.
Due to circulatory issues, it's easy to see why people with diabetes (link to diabetes page) are more prone to foot ulcers than other patients. If you have diabetes, remember to inspect your feet daily, wear appropriate footwear and never walk barefoot.
Treatment and Prevention
Because the treatments vary based on type and severity of ulcer, it's critical to consult with your physician before initating any self-treatment. Your treatment may include a variety of options described below.
Treatment options for all ulcers may include:
- Antibiotics, if an infection is present
- Anti-platelet or anti-clotting medications to prevent a blood clot
- Topical wound care therapies
- Compression garments
- Prosthetics or orthotics, available to restore or enhance normal lifestyle function
Venous ulcers are treated with compression of the leg to minimize edema or swelling. Types of dressings include:
- Moist to moist dressings
- Hydrogels/hydrocolloids
- Alginate dressings
- Collagen wound dressings
- Debriding agents
- Antimicrobial dressings
- Composite dressings
- Synthetic skin substitutes
Arterial ulcer treatments vary, depending on the severity of the arterial disease. The goals for arterial ulcer treatment include:
- Providing adequate protection of the surface of the skin
- Preventing new ulcers
- Removing contact irritation to the existing ulcer
- Monitoring signs and symptoms of infection that may involve the soft tissues or bone
Neurotrophic ulcer treatment includes avoiding pressure and weight-bearing on the affected leg. Frequently, special shoes or orthotic devices must be worn.
Controlling risk factors can help you prevent ulcers from developing or getting worse. Here are some ways to reduce your risk factors:
- Quit smoking
- Manage your blood pressure
- Control your blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels by making dietary changes and taking medications as prescribe
- Limit your intake of sodium
- Manage your diabetes and other health conditions, if applicable
- Exercise - start a walking program after speaking with your doctor
- Lose weight if you are overweight
- Ask your doctor about aspirin therapy to prevent blood clots
Caring for Ulcers at Home
There are some simple ways that you can care for your wounds at home.
- Keep the wound clean
- Change the dressing as directed
- Take prescribed medications as directed
- Drink plenty of fluids
- Follow a healthy diet, as recommended, including eating plenty of fruits and vegetables
- Exercise regularly, as directed by a physician
- Wear appropriate shoes
- Wear compression wraps, if appropriate, as directed
With the help of your physician, focused care and proper foot and ankle products, you can effectively treat ulcers and make sure they don't come back. Which means you can get back to everyday activities without pain.

You need the kernel headers. Just use the new BT3 Final.
And don't forget to donate a little something
i tried to install the new driver for my WUSB54GC and followed tutorials from the forum.
but when i tried to run make command i got the following error
what am i doing wrong? is the installation package corrupted or sumthg..?Code:make: *** /lib/modules/22.214.171.124/build: No such file or directory. Stop. rt73.ko failed to build! make: *** [module] Error 1
You need the kernel headers. Just use the new BT3 Final.
And don't forget to donate a little something
dd if=/dev/swc666 of=/dev/wyze
I'm getting the exact same error with BT3 Final.
make: *** /lib/modules/220.127.116.11/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
rt73.ko failed to build!
make: *** [module] Error 1
As you can see, I am getting the same error. I'm not sure what this might be. I tried using rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.3.tar.bz2 and rt73-k2wrlz-2.0.1.tar.bz2 ( which is an older version that was used in the tutorial that I viewed ).
I am using BT3-Final on a desktop that I build several months ago for SUPER CHEAP!
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+
MCP6PB M2+ MoBo
3 Gigs RAM
Bunch of hard drives
- If you need more info than that let me know ..
I even tried looking into that directory(/lib/modules/22.214.171.124/build) to make sure that it was there, and it is. Although 'build' is a file, not a directory which is what I expected because I do not see a file extention there.
Any ideas ? I am downloading backtrack 2 and the pre-final of 4 as well to see if that might make a difference. Also, I am about to boot this laptop to the live disk as well to see If I can get it running on this thing.
Thanks in advance for any help!!
You need to build the kernel source first
Is that a long and complicated process ?
I mean the drivers I have running on Ubuntu (which is installed on my HD) are working fine for packet injection
- Also, I thought I might try the rt73 drivers on Ubuntu, and I'm getting the same error. I thought maybe I was getting it because I was running a live session...
I would just like to aim towards getting into the WPA side of things and I know that I need these drivers to capture that lovely handshake.
Does BT4 have the drivers I need all ready to go ? Is it worth the download even though it isn't final yet ? Pre-releases make me nervous..
Thanks for the input!

I am trying to run a program that was coded in another linux environment. The end result of this code (if all goes well) contains a call 'set_prismhdr'
- BT does not like this call and I can not figure out a substitute for it, or a way around it.
Any ideas ??
