20 Eco-Friendly + Fair Trade Items to Add to Your Summer Wardrobe Now
The search ends here for the perfect eco-friendly flip flops, fair trade frocks, and everything in between!
With the summer season in full swing, it's totally normal to crave a few new closet additions. But if you're going to drop the cash to look chic, why not do some good as you splurge? We've rounded up 20 fabulous accessory and clothing picks to help you stay socially conscious-–even as you hit the boardwalk!
From eco-friendly, made in the USA flip flops to soft organic cotton undies, we've found 'em all!
Tennis pro toggle bracelet ($69, sportychicdesigns.com). Go sporty-chic with this Seaside Collection piece. Inspired by oceanic hues like seagrass green, driftwood yellow, and clamshell purple, the line will help you carry a bit of the beach to the tennis court or golf course. Manufactured in the United States, you can expect baubles as resilient as your power arm.
Okabashi Maui flip flop ($14.99, okabashi.com). You don't have to take a trip to Maui to afford these ultra-comfy, United States-made recyclable flip flops. Featuring a massaging insole and arch support (we're grateful already), you can throw 'em in the dishwasher after a day of walking to retain that just-purchased look. We simply can't wait to take a stroll!
Oka b Callista flat ($45, oka-b.com). Not only are these flats fearlessly feminine, but they're recyclable, waterproof, and bacteria resistant to boot! Tons of ladies out there have been forced to dump perfectly pretty flats after being caught in a downpour (we shudder at the thought). But no amount of rain will ruin your day in these. Plus, they're crafted right here in the United States-–how much prouder can a gal get?
ClaireaBella medium bikini jute bag ($69.99, toxicfox.com). Keep that brand new bikini crisp with a handmade water and sand proof bag. Be sure to stun in that sexy two piece by showing it a little TLC with this natural Jute fiber carrier. PS: They're totally customizable, so feel free to choose your own skin, eye, hair color, and snazzy swimsuit.
Eco-chic hangtag pink and orange colorblocking ($21.95, leakeycollection.com). There is no shortage of reasons why I'm hooked on these hangtags. First, they're eco-friendly and hand-crafted by men and women in Kenya. Second, they're airy-light and won't leave you scrambling to scoop up fallen beads after a few wears. Third, they're unbelievably versatile and can be twisted and turned any which way to create the look you're after. Wear it as lengthy necklace or do the twist and transform it into a bracelet or hairpiece. The options are endless!
2 strand silver triangle necklace ($27.50, acaciacreationsstore.com). Painstakingly constructed from recycled glass, this on trend necklace is available in six gorgeous hues. Eco-friendly and created following fair trade practices, you'll look good while exercising your fashion conscience. Now that's a fabulous style story!

I followed lifehacker's guide to get a proper tripple boot working usin rEFIt.
I used the 32bit KDE bt5 live dvd and then used the installer.
At the last screen of the installer, I went to 'Advanced' and configured the bootloader to be on the same partition as BT5 itself (as instructed in LH's guide).
Situation is now:
sda1: EFI i guess
sda2: OSX
sda3: Windows 7 (inc MBR)
sda4: Backtrack 5 (inc GRUB)
When I boot BT5 it gets stuck somewhere in the initialisation process.
Same happens in recovery mode.
I think it's strange it works with the live dvd, but not with the install.
It's not a bootloader problem since the problem occurs when loading backtrack 5 itself.
Is there somehow a way to figure this out?
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Go placidly amidst the noise and haste,

As far as possible without surrender

and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story. [Read more…]

There are two new faces that will begin their careers with the Sabres tonight. Tim Connolly, who could center Miro Satan and J.P. Dumont, has had a tremendous preseason. Connolly has the talent to make Buffalo fans quickly forget that Michael Peca was ever a Sabre. Slava Kozlov, acquired in the Hasek trade, has also been very good in the preseason.
New faces, old faces in new places for opener

Razer has announced its latest audio product, the Razer Kraken 7.1 Surround Sound USB gaming headset.
The Razer Kraken 7.1 comes equipped with an advanced virtual surround sound engine capable of ultra-low latency audio processing that simulates a 360-degree surround sound experience that is usually achievable only by incorporating more than one positional speaker driver in each ear cup.
Driven through Razer's Synapse 2.0 unified configuration software, the engine is capable of a high degree of customization, allowing gamers to tweak and specifically position each surround sound channel, boost bass levels and even balance incoming voice audio for astounding aural precision, the vendor said.
The omnidirectional digital microphone on the Razer Kraken 7.1 comes equipped with an optimized algorithm, offering better frequency response, sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio than a standard analog microphone, the vendor said. It also has a mic mute button and an LED indicator on the tip to indicate when the mic is active.
The headset is priced at US$99.99.

The series is still being shown in Japan on TV-Tokyo, since it has not finished. Viz distributes a subtitled version of the series on its website on Thursdays.

When you think of the word "religion," what comes to mind? Candles flickering in darkened chapels, cheerful baptisms, or ancient texts in dead languages? Sure, those images are pretty good. But how about disgusting bodily fluids and revolting lovemaking practices? Some types of Tantra, a variety of Hinduism often associated with the goddess Kali, enjoin practitioners to participate in some of the the most disgusting acts imaginable. And new research suggests that there might be important biological reasons for these behaviors. Specifically, disgusting acts transgress people's innate biological desire to avoid pathogens, thus forcing a religious confrontation with death. (Warning: this article isn't for the easily nauseated!)

That's serious money.
The poster formally known as Steve_Langford.
sounds like a waste of money for viacom
congrats to ant mcgann he is a really nice guy
Just linkbucks shite when I click on that and a message saying I need to update my Media player when in reality im using a brand new fully loaded new laptop bought 3 days ago...
I have no idea what that link is telling me.
Can you not just tell us who's signed so that everyone can pass their two cents to justify if the deal is worth £50 million.
The Wolfslair team are celebrating this week after signing a deal with Viacom with a potential value of up to $50 million.
It includes a contract with movie studio Paramount for at least one film, according to a report in the Liverpool Echo this week.
Former PRIDE FC and UFC light-heavyweight champion Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson is one of the key components of the deal with Viacom.
Aside from his contract with Bellator MMA, he also has a deal for a reality show and a contract with TNA Wrestling.
Other Bellator-signed fighters from the Wolfslair, such as Gavin Sterrit, have been given pay-per-view point-deals as Bellator moves towards that platform.
"The film deal with Paramout is really exciting and Quinton has said he wants plenty of Scousers [Liverpool natives] in his movie because of their sense of humor. They crack him up," Wolfslair owner Lee Gwynn told the Liverpool Echo.
Jackson will headline Bellator's first pay-per-view offering when he squares off with former training partner Tito Ortiz on Saturday November 2. The fight will air in the UK on the freeview channel VIVA, which is part of the Viacom stable.
So its nothing to do with the UK fighters and more with Rampage

USC Career Center to host two job fairs
By Megan Sexton, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-1421
More than 150 employers will visit the University of South Carolina Jan. 29, looking to recruit students for internships and full-time positions at two job fairs.
At Career Fest, 81 employers will be seeking candidates to fill non-technical positions. The list of employers includes Aflac, Bosch, Colonial Life, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Coca-Cola Bottling Co. and BMW.
For the Science, Engineering & Technology (S.E.T.) Fair, 70 employers are registered, with firms including Blackbaud, Continental, Computer Science Corporation, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Fluor and Milliken.
The two events will be held concurrently from noon to 4 p.m. at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center. USC alumni will be required to submit a copy of their resume to enter.
Students and alumni do not need to register in advance, but are encouraged to prepare by reviewing the tips on each job fairs website and attending the January Jumpstart events. These events include employer-led resume reviews and mock interviews. Students can visit the Career Center between 1-4 p.m. weekdays for assistance with job fair preparation.
The USC Career Center will expand its student preparation efforts this year by offering both Handshake and Introduction stations in addition to the LinkedIn photo booth during the events. The goals of the student preparation stations are to emphasize the importance of first impressions and to provide students with immediate feedback. Career Center staff will provide students with quick tips on how to effectively introduce themselves to employers.
"The LinkedIn photo booth encourages students to utilize the online networking site LinkedIn and provides students with a photo to use in their professional profile. LinkedIn can be a critical networking tool in conducting an internship or job search," said Erica Lake, the Career Center's assistant director for employer relations.
Additionally, the Career Center encourages students to join groups to effectively utilize LinkedIn. The My Carolina - Official University of South Carolina Alumni Association Group provides beneficial networking opportunities for students with alumni.
Each job fair has a web link under the Upcoming Events section of the Career Center website at www.sc.edu/career. These websites provide tips for the fair and a listing of employers who will attend the events.
Complimentary shuttle service will be provided starting at 11:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. with pick-up points at Capstone (BA), Russell House (corner of Sumter and Greene streets) and Swearingen.
The University of South Carolina Career Center educates and empowers students in the development of their lifelong career management skills.
"Companies are looking forward to meeting students from various majors face-to-face to discuss their vacancies," Lake said. "Most employers are more concerned with the students' skills rather than their specific academic discipline. Employers value students who can demonstrate initiative, effective communication skills, the ability to manage a project and who will be lifelong learners. The job fairs provide a convenient opportunity for students and alumni to target employers of interest and meet them all at one time."

Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team
Prepares to Unload Off Road Vehicle
Sheriff's Search and Rescue Makes Two Rescues
Montecito - June 24th, 2013
On the evening of Sunday, June 23, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Search and Rescue (SBCSAR) team came to the assistance of six persons in distress, including four children.
As a motorcyclist from Santa Barbara was riding near Divide Peak, an off-road area in the mountains above Santa Barbara, he lost his motorcycle over the side of a cliff on a hairpin turn. Unable to recover his bike from his location, approximately 12 miles from a paved road, he called 9-1-1 for help. Six SBCSAR members responded to the staging area at East Camino Cielo's Romero Saddle. Four members used specialty off-road vehicles to access his location. Upon arrival, members verified he was not injured, brought his motorcycle back to the road, and assisted his return to his vehicle on East Camino Cielo.
During this rescue, the SBCSAR team received a call for five lost hikers, including four children (ages 14, 10, 6, and 5), on the Romero Canyon Trail. Six team members, including two who were already staged at the Romero Saddle for the stranded motorcyclist, responded to the location of the five lost Santa Barbara residents. Losing daylight, team members hiked to their location near the cold and foggy peak, evaluated their medical conditions, and hiked them out to the Saddle. They were then transported back to their vehicle at the Romero Canyon Trailhead.
SBCSAR credits the hikers for not waiting in an emergency and calling 9-1-1 when they encountered trouble. The team urges lost persons to "Hug-A-Tree" and stay put so that rescuers can locate persons in distress. Finally, SBCSAR reminds outdoors enthusiasts to take a cell phone (but not to rely on it in a questionable coverage area) and to let someone know where they are going.
SBCSAR is an all-volunteer unit of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office. The team consists of 33 members, including 25 Emergency Medical Technicians, all of whom are on call 24/7.

If you're preparing for college, you're probably already taking the classes you'll need for admission to an engineering program. Recommended courses include:
Other Courses and Requirements
No matter what colleges and majors you're considering, you'll want to show that you're well rounded, with a wide range of experiences and knowledge. So it's also important to take courses in History/Social Studies, Geography, Computers, Social Sciences (Psychology and Sociology), and the Arts, and to get involved in extracurricular activities that you love. All of these offer skills that will be valuable in your future studies and your chosen career.
You'll also need to do well on your standardized tests (score requirements vary by college), and it's a good idea to take some AP and Honors courses when they're offered.
For More Information
Three Web sites that offer helpful information on preparing for admission to engineering school are the American Society for Engineering Education's K-12 Center's student section, and Try Engineering.
Your Application
When you're filling out college applications, make it clear you intend to major in engineering. Even if you're not sure about engineering, go ahead and apply as an engineering student, as most schools require you to enter the program your freshman year. If you decide later on that engineering isn't a good fit, you can easily move out of the program and into another major at your chosen school.

Couple Sues Over Bad Review Fine
A couple in Utah has sued an online retailer who fined them for a negative review.
In 2008 John and Jen Palmer ordered items from KlearGear.com. They never got them, so they posted a bad review of the company online.
KlearGear then charged them 35 hundred dollars, claiming the couple violated a non disparagement clause in their contract which "prohibits [customers] from taking any action that negatively impacts KlearGear.com."
The Palmers claim KlearGear was blackmailing them and has hurt their credit rating. Advocacy group Public Citizen filed the suit on behalf of the couple, asking for 75 thousand dollars and to keep similar clauses out of KlearGear's contracts in the future.
Public Citizen also noted that the non-disparagement clause was not in effect when the Palmers bought the items from KlearGear.

Right now, however, the camp and the country have reached a new level of crisis.
A majority of people in this country are already dissatisfied with the size and power of the federal government.
Introduced in December 1979, Asteroids quickly became standard equipment in bars, arcades, and airports all over the country.
Katina is still in Russia, where she is a straight girl who is a gay icon in a country where being gay in public is illegal.
Britain, it is clear, is a country pockmarked by deprivation and want.
With a little industry and perseverance wonders might be done in this country.
This was Geronimo's country, the land of the greatest of the Apache fighters.
They were now descending a little hill at the foot of which stood a country tavern.
I've been wanting to get a look at that country and a talk with you, Bill, for a month.
"You can get about the country pretty quickly in that car," I said.
mid-13c., "district, native land," from Old French contree, from Vulgar Latin *(terra) contrata "(land) lying opposite," or "(land) spread before one," from Latin contra "opposite, against" (see contra-). Sense narrowed 1520s to rural areas, as opposed to cities. Replaced Old English land. As an adjective from late 14c. First record of country-and-western music style is from 1942. Country club first recorded 1886. Country mile "a long way" is from 1915, American English.
Quite competent; reliable: He's a prettygood country ball player; gets his pitches over the plate •The phrase is meant as moderate yet distinct praise of a person who might not be as spectacular as a big-city performer

Drake and J. Cole under fire from anti-bullying activists
Listen to Drake on iHeartRadio | Listen to J. Cole on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - J. Cole and Drake have stirred up some controversy with their new single "Jodeci Freestyle." Despite the fact that they say the N-word at least two dozen times and repeatedly call women "b*****s and hoes," it's another derogatory statement that has caused anti-bullying and autism communities to stand up and take notice.
The tune, released last month, features Cole rapping, "I'm artistic, you n****s is autistic, retarded." As a result, Anti-Bullying Alliance representative Anna Kennedy started a petitionasking the rappers to issue an apology to individuals with autism and to officially change the lyrics of the song.
"It's time we recognized people with autism for the exceptional human beings that they are and make a stand. Give Us a Break!" Kennedy wrote on the Change.org petition. The "Give Us a Break" campaign was launched earlier this year to raise awareness about the bullying of children with autism in schools and colleges. The J. Cole-Drake petition has already received more than 2,600 signatures, putting the organization a little more than halfway toward reaching its goal of 5,000 supporters.

Brevard, N.C. – The Brevard College men's basketball team tipped-off their 2008-09 regular season the right way on Tuesday night, as Coach Jones' squad used a big second half to blow out the Warren Wilson Owls 70-42 in the newly renovated Boshamer Gymnasium.
With the win the Tornados improve to 1-0 on the season, while Warren Wilson falls to 3-4 on the year.
The Tornados struggled in the opening half of their 2008-09 home opener, as Brevard shot only 37.9 percent from the floor (11-of-29) and were 0-of-8 from behind the three-point line.
Despite falling behind early 3-0, the Tornados stormed back to take a 4-3 lead on a lay-up by junior forward Jonathan Whitson, a lead that BC would not relinquish for the remainder of the game.
The defense of Brevard carried the Tornados in the first half, as the Tornados held Warren Wilson to only 16 points in the first 20 minutes of play. The Owls shot 24.0 percent from the field (6-of-25) and had eight turnovers. Despite 10 turnovers of their own, the Tornados took a 23-16 lead into the halftime break.
The second half proved to be much different than the first, as the Tornados outscored the Owls 47-26 over the final 20 minutes of play to pull away with the 70-42 win.
The Tornados as a team connected on 54.8 percent of their shots (17-of-31) and hit four three-pointers en route to the home opening win.
The inside game served the Tornados well and the second half, as Whitson had 19 points in the second half, while center Sam Carlisle had all of his 10 points in the final 20 minutes of play. The Tornados also pulled down 26 rebounds in the second half compared to Warren Wilson's seven.
Brevard was led by Whitson, who started off the 2008-09 season well on Tuesday night, scoring a game-high 29 points and hauling in a game-high 13 rebounds for a double-double. Carlisle added 10 points and seven rebounds, while senior forward Joseph Chilton had seven points and eight boards. Guard Darin Dellinger poured in seven points to go with his five assists, while Andrew Freeman had seven points for the game in 24 minutes of play.
Warren Wilson was led by their two sharp-shooting guards in Aleks Spasovski and Jermon Marsh. Spasovski had a team-high 14 points, while Marsh poured in 10 points and hauled in a team-high five rebounds.
For the game, the Tornados held Warren Wilson to 28.3 percent shooting and forced them to commit 17 turnovers. Brevard shot 46.7 percent and out-rebounded the Owls 47-22 for the contest.
The Tornados will not have long to rest, as BC will hit the road for the first of seven consecutive road contests on Thursday night, when they will play at Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, N.C. at 7 p.m.
Warren Wilson will next be in action on Monday, November 24, when they will host Berea College at 7 p.m. Brevard and Warren Wilson will meet again for the final time this season on Monday, December 1, when the Tornados will travel to Warren Wilson for a 7 p.m. tip-off.

Mrs. Minto looked over her magnifying glass at Sally in a bewildered way.
Over the leaves in Miss Minto's cup she frowned through her clouded glasses.
The story of Defoe's adventurous life may be followed with keen interest in Mr. Minto's attractive book.
Sally's mother, Mrs. Minto, was yawning by the small fire in the grate.
In a former essay I have demonstrated the truth of Professor Minto's suggestion.
Mrs. Minto wriggled her skinny shoulders and fingered her chin.
It is curious to note that in 1374 the church of Minto belonged to the diocese of Lincoln.
Mrs. Minto sighed, and looked at the clock, frowning and wriggling her shoulders.
Mrs. Minto seized the hand, squeezed it hard, and pored over the brilliants.
They were not altogether unlike; but Mrs. Minto had taken the wrong turning.
