It's Not Over: Almost 10M Face Tornado Risk Today
CLICK HERE to learn how you can help the victims
(NEWSER) – The tornado threat isn't over: "Large and devastating" storms could continue today, forecasters say. "We could have a Round 3," says a CNN meteorologist. "Hopefully, it won't be as bad." But "tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and large hail" could hit areas east and south of Oklahoma City, with cities from Dallas to Little Rock also at risk, says a Weather Channel forecaster. Some 9.5 million people could face further major tornadoes, a forecaster tells MSNBC, while CNN says 53 million could see severe weather today.

Unpacked and back, but Microsoft is still here
Next up: OSCON. Get there if you can, and give them my regards because I can't make it this year 😦
For those few of you who might have missed this blog, I do apologize. As many of you know, I have moved about three miles down the road to beautiful downtown Felton, about a half-mile south of the traffic light on Highway 9 — say it with me: "That enough directions for Felton." It has taken me fairly close to a month to unpack and sort out the new place; unpacking included taking things out of boxes, asking "Do I really need this?" And then putting away what I do need and taking what I don't to the Abbot's Thrift Store down the street.
But enough about me.
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols recently wrote a piece on ZDNet that has caused some brouhaha in Linux and FOSS circles. It's a classic tempest-in-a-teapot issue: Microsoft — horrors! — is one of the top five corporate contributors to Linux kernel development and, if you just read the headline, it implies that Microsoft is fifth on the list top contributors.
Well, to paraphrase Paul Harvey (you'll have to google him, kids), here's the rest of the story: Microsoft is fifth on the list of corporate contributors to the Linux kernel and 15th overall on the list. They're behind Red Hat, Intel, Novell and IBM on the corporate list, and 15th overall.
While SJVN aptly outlines the scenario which causes Microsoft to come to the table — virtualization — what is not said, but stands out, to me is that between the four corporate contributors ahead of Microsoft and the 15th overall position that Microsoft holds are 10 non-corporate contributors to the kernel, meaning for all intents and purposes, individuals who are working for the greater good and not for some corporate benefit that Linux provides.
I have not had a chance to see the original article on Linux Weekly News from which SJVN bases his column, thanks to not having a subscription. But I would be interested to see who and what is ranked where.
[Also, I'm not going anywhere near remotely bringing up where Canonical is on the list of corporate contributors to the Linux kernel. Uh uh. Not me. No way.]
Of course the FUDmeisters are spinning this for all it's worth — Stop the presses! Microsoft a top Linux kernel contributor! — but SJVN puts it all in perspective and while it's certainly decent of the corporate giant from Redmond to help improve Hyper-V and Linux interoperability, it's not a sign of the apocalypse by any matter of means.
However, as one comment to SJVN's post points out, you don't turn your back on a coiled snake.

Welcome Parent Volunteers
Everyone Plays! Everyone Volunteers!
Santa Monica AYSO Region 20 is a 100% volunteer organization. As a result, we are able to charge the lowest possible fee for children to play organized soccer in our area. To make this work, each family is expected to volunteer an average of one hour per week per child. For some parents that might mean weekly involvement, while for others it may mean concentrating their participation a few times a year, such as with a special event or preparing the launch of a new season. Every parent has either a special talent or simply some spare time to help. No soccer knowledge is required for any role. We provide all required training/certification.
Each team has certain on-the-field roles that are necessary for the weekly success of that team, i.e, Coach, Assistant Coach, Team Manager, & Practice Chaperone. In addition, each team is required to provide a minimum of 3 referees, so we can ensure that our games are safe, fair & fun for the players. Team Referees earn Volunteer Points, which are used to qualify the team for special awards or advancement in the playoffs. Learn more about Team Volunteer Roles.
The remaining parents are expected to assist in an off-the-field administrative capacity. Read through these descriptions to see what appeals to you. There are lots of choices! Learn more about Administrative Volunteer Roles.
If you have an area of interest, but don't see it listed, please contact us - we can likely find a way to make it work for you. AYSO National has a list of numerous potential volunteer roles for our region, with descriptions of each role. View descriptions of AYSO National's potential volunteer roles here.
If you would like to be one of those people taking more of an active role, please view the Key Volunteer Roles and contact the Regional Commissioner.
All AYSO volunteers are required to register with AYSO National annually.
This is separate from player registration. View steps/links to complete adult volunteer registration.

On Fox, Jim Lacamp says Obama admin's "class warfare" helps set "the stage for social unrest"
Cavuto responds: "Although we're not making political views on this, I know where you're coming from."
From the June 10 edition of Fox News Channel's Your World with Neil Cavuto:
CAVUTO: Jim, I'm always interested in how, you know, Wall Street follows this too --
LACAMP: Right.
CAVUTO: -- because there were a lot of things to worry about with the economy.
LACAMP: Sure.
CAVUTO: But I've got to tell you, to a man and woman I talked to in the business world, they all tell me, "Neil, what's going on in Washington, the shooting?" Even though we have a pay czar controversy over how much money we're doling out, this -- I always feel this is the sort of the unaddressed scab for Wall Street, that they're not quite over this, and maybe after 9-11, they never will be. What do you make of it?
LACAMP: I think you're absolutely right. We've lost a generation of buy-and-hold investors. Now, keep in mind the market, if you go back 13 years, isn't any higher than it was 13 years ago.
CAVUTO: That's true.
LACAMP: People lost a lot of money in 2000 and 2002 --
CAVUTO: And they don't need much to get off the buying pot, do they?
LACAMP: They sure don't. And they lost a lot of money in those three years, then they lost a lot of money in 2008. They're still hearing all this economic news, the housing market has not gotten any better, so I think there's a lot of skepticism about the health of the economy and the stock market as a result. And so people are still very leery of the stock market, and you can throw Washington and Wall Street into that mix because they're still leery about people on Washington and Wall Street.
CAVUTO: Well, and also we should say the last terror attack -- this was not a terror attack, I got to stress that, and nor do authorities think it was -- but it occurred in Washington and it occurred in New York, and do you think, then, Jim, had this been in any other city -- take nothing away from a Wichita or a Macon, Georgia -- that it would've gotten the attention or gripped Wall Street the way this did?
LACAMP: New York and Washington D.C., those are the two hubs, and anywhere else it would not have had the same impact. It does highlight something that I'm very concerned about economically, and that's social unrest. You have a lot of people losing their jobs, you have a lot of people losing their homes. They're angry, and as interest rates go up, foreclosures accelerate, and we're going to have a lot of resets over the next two years. The same time, municipalities are cutting back on their police forces, and we have an administration that's really done a lot of class warfare, a lot of class-baiting. And so it sets the stage for social unrest, and that's one of the things that I'm very concerned about moving forward.
CAVUTO: Although we're not making political views on this, I know where you're coming from.

Halloweegan Ghostly Lemon Mousse Tart!
This tart is actually supposed to be a Raspberry Lemon Mousse Tart, and it is a recipe created by the one and only Ms. Amber Shea Crawley! I needed to make something with whipped cream ghosts, so I swapped the berries for the spookies. The recipe is from Amber's cookbook Practically Raw, but lucky for you, Amber shared the recipe online! There are a few cookbook recipes that I want to make during Vegan MoFo, but I will only use recipes that are available online for all to enjoy, even if you don't have a particular cookbook. The ghosts are made with coconut whipped cream and they have strawberry jam eyes and mouths, piped on with a little ziploc bag. I made some Ghostly Pudding Pies for MoFo 2008, but those only had one lonely ghost on top. This is a gang of ghosts!
Your pants. We shall scare them off you.
How did the tart taste? Heavenly! I am still getting used to non-baked "crusts", but the filling is absolutely heavenly! See what I did there? Heavenly? Ghosts? Boo? Never mind. The lemon mousse is amazing, and it's not full of junky junk! It's made with cashews, coconut water, agave, lemon juice, coconut oil - even a little turmeric! Even Mr. Wing-It who prefers more traditional (non-raw) desserts raved about it. Check out the recipe and go make some!
Looks like they're riding a delicious lemony jet ski! Ha!
Today's TV show find on Netflix Watch Instantly is Hell on Wheels. Do you watch it? This was another one that I was reluctant to watch, but now I am SO into it! It's dirty, gritty, bloody, and even funny sometimes. It's a western show set in 1865, but it's not your typical western, so even if you're not into that kind of stuff don't write it off! It moves very slowly and not much seems to happen during most shows, but somehow it manages to keep me completely hooked.
And now I will leave you with an awkward picture of Curly. Happy weekend!
Picasso Curly laughs at your traditional head-placement preconceptions.
22 comments:
Hee, what is Curly doing? It looks like he's giving himself a hug :)ReplyDelete
And mmm ghostly lemon tart! It looks beautiful and I can just imagine how good that lemony filling must be!Replies
I think he was grooming very awkwardly. Ha! I'm going to start telling mean people to "go hug themselves" from now on! :PDelete
The lemony filling is fabulous, and I think you would love it too. Soy free and gluten free! :)
Awesome to see you back, River! And I'm so happy to hear you both enjoyed the tart. I love your coconut cream ghosts!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! We LOVED the tart - you are an amazing chef and your cookbook rocks!Delete
LOVE IT! Your ghosts are adorable. I have some serious TV to catch up on!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's hard to get all caught up with so many good shows! I'm doing OK, but the Walking Dead, Community, Vampire Diaries, and Downton haven't even started - it takes some serious organization and scheduling skills to be a couch potato! :PDelete
Omg! Those are adorable and delicious looking! Will definitely be making it. I will love the lemon and my daughter will love the ghosties!ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm sure you guys will love it too! The lemon mousse was even better after several hours in the fridge, and there is a tiny bit left that I'm sure will be even better tomorrow. Enjoy! :)Delete
I love that picture of Curly! I have a special appreciation for that thing that ducks do where they tucks their heads way back like that. It looks so cozy! :)ReplyDelete
Also, that tart looks beautiful! and spooky!Replies
Ducks are such cute little creatures and they have the funniest little habits. I love how they instantly start grooming when they are hit by a single drop of water - I have some pictures of happy rainy ducks coming soon! :)Delete
Luscious-looking pie, and I appreciate your using available recipes. I like raw pie crust, partly because it's so easy to get it right, and partly because it tastes good.ReplyDeleteReplies
I thought it would be best to use available recipes because MoFo is all about sharing the goods. Raw crusts really are easy to make and almost impossible to screw up!Delete
Looks amazing!!!ReplyDelete
Do you remember me? :D It's been a while...Replies
I'm so amazed at how stabilized all your ghosties are! My attempts at vegan whipped cream creatures normally turn all gloopy. I should try again soon so they can jet ski into my belly :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I was gonna say the same thing!!! I LOVE this, but if I tried it wouldn't come out like this...Delete
Interesting. Could it be a matter of different brands of coconut milk? Mine were actually too firm for my taste! I like a whippier cream, and these ghost were a bit too firm. Weird! I will have to do a whole post about coconut whipped cream soon. Watch this space!Delete
Am I the only person on earth who can't get traditional coconut whipped cream to work for me? It never gets fluffy or holds a shape the way your spooks do! I love the look of the tart and the filling sounds divine, too. Oh, wait, just noticed the comment by Jes above mine. Any tips for us??ReplyDeleteReplies
OK, I am definitely going to need to write a step-by-step coconut whipped cream post next week. Or I'll make a video! Yes, that's better, I'll make a video. Fear not! Help is coming soon! :DDelete
Ooooh, that filling looks beautifully creamy, I've never tried making a coconut mousse before.ReplyDelete
We just recently started watching Hell on Wheels, we figured it's an AMC show so it has to be good, they've yet to steer me wrong. My husband is determined to become an extra on the show since they just film it down the road from us, but can't say I'm super into the dirty straggly look :)Replies
It is so very creamy! Try it! You will love it!Delete
That is so cool! He should do it! And then let me know in what scene he appears so I can watch it and say I know someone famous! :P

Cool. Maybe the bike in the picture I took is your bike!Here's a similar view.
I know the location where your picture was taken well. I have spent my fair share of time hanging out at Morton's.
I have heard HCPD enter riding competitions and have done quite well. You may find something if you search around.
Enjoy your ride.
We are into the Big Hair thing and looking into custom helmets. Concerned that we might look like the Coneheads riding to Minnesota.I see you got a picture of Bluehole and his buddy who are going to trailer to the rally next year.

What a beautiful paint job on the RS. It reminds me very much of the 82 RS I had with the smoke grey paint scheme. So who did this paint job for you? My 04 1150RS would look great too in that color.

Teen Mom Shaming vs Teen Pregnancy Prevention
What is with this unnecessary need to shame, bully, and stereotype teen mothers in an attempt to decrease teen pregnancy? Teen pregnancy prevention campaigns DO NOT have to be at the expense of a teen mom's dignity. It doesn't work, it isn't fair, and it's only perpetuating a stigma that further increases the isolation of young parents who need support. Quite frankly, it's extremely sexist too! I don't see an ad shaming teen dads? If my comprehensive sexual educating cohorts are correct, it takes two to make a baby.
In this pathetic and desperate attempt to eliminate teen pregnancy, the adults who sat around this campaign and ok'd it knew that it would send a horrible message to teens: "Teen moms suck so don't become one." And of course, the …

Galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferaseGalactosemia screen; GALT; Gal-1-PUT
Galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase is a blood test that measures the level of a substance called GALT, which helps break down milk sugars in your body. Low levels of this substance cause a condition called galactosemia.
How the Test is Performed
Blood is drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. This is called a venipuncture.
How the Test Will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some infants feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the Test is Performed
This is a screening test for galactosemia.
In normal diets, most galactose comes from the breakdown (metabolism) of lactose, which is found in milk and dairy products. About 1 out of 65,000 newborns lack a substance (enzyme) called GALT. Without this substance, the body can't break down galactose, and the substance builds up in the blood. Continued use of milk products can lead to:
This can be a serious condition if not treated.
Normal Results
The normal range is 18.5 - 28.5 U/g Hb (units per gram of hemoglobin).
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different samples.
What Abnormal Results Mean
An abnormal result suggests galactosemia. Further tests must be done to confirm the diagnosis.
If your child has galactosemia, a genetics specialist should be consulted promptly. The child should immediately be placed on a no-milk diet. This means no breast milk and no animal milk. Soy milk and infant soy formulas are generally used as substitutes.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
Early diagnosis is important, because the disease can be treated by removing dairy products from the diet.
Every state requires newborn screening teststo check for this disorder. These screening tests are very sensitive so they do not miss many infants with galactosemia. But, false-positives can occur. If your child has an abnormal screening result, follow-up tests must be done to confirm the result.

Brevard, N.C. - With one game left on the schedule, the Brevard College women's soccer team traveled Wednesday afternoon to take on fellow South Atlantic Conference member Carson-Newman. The game was close through the first half, but the Tornados ultimately fell to the host Eagles, 3-0.
For the season the Tornados fall to 6-11-1, 0-7 in the conference, while the Eagles improve to 12-5, 6-1 in the SAC.
The teams were scoreless through most of the first half. Brevard notched the first shot in the game by senior Courtney Sofferin in the 4th minute but her attempt was saved by Eagles keeper Lauren MacKenzie.
With one second left on the clock in the first half, Carson-Newman's Katie Hunter passed a ball into the box to Morgan Gruenenfelder who chipped the ball over Tornados keeper Jordan Box to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead.
The Eagles came out firing in the second half but Box was able to keep them at bay until a corner kick by Carson-Newman's Lydia Wright was misplayed in the box and ended up in the goal, giving the Eagles a 2-0 lead.
After several shots by Brevard's Alyssa Caracena, Latoshia Hopewell, and Bailey Varley, the Eagles tallied their final goal on a corner kick from Wright to Megan Julian.
For the game, the Tornados were outshot 20-5. Box faced 10 shots on goal and saved seven. MacKenzie faced two shots on goal and saved both in the Eagles victory.
The Tornados head home on Saturday, November 1, for senior day as they recognize Carrilea Potter, Ashley Fincher, Courtney Sofferin and Jennifer King for their contributions on the field. Brevard will take on Catawba College on the Brevard Soccer Field with a kickoff time of 4 p.m. Carson-Newman hosts Newberry College on Saturday with a start time of 5:30 p.m.

ATLANTA - Attorney General Thurbert Baker, in conjunction with the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs, announced today that Georgia has joined a multistate settlement with United Industries Corporation of St. Louis, Missouri to settle government charges that the company made unsubstantiated advertising claims for its Spectracide Terminate termite bait system. Spectracide Terminate, touted as the first "do-it-yourself" termite defense system, is sold through home improvement stores such as Lowe's and Home Depot.
United Industries has agreed to the entry of a federal court order prohibiting the company from representing to consumers that Spectracide Terminate is effective in preventing termite infestation or damage to homes unless the representation is substantiated by reliable scientific evidence. In addition, advertisements claiming that the product kills termites will have to carry this disclosure: "Not recommended as sole protection against termites, and for active infestations, get a professional inspection."
"I will not allow unscrupulous companies to victimize Georgia's consumers with false advertising claims. When false claims are being made, we will take forceful action to stop the fraudulent advertising and obtain refunds for consumers who have been victimized," Baker said.
As part of the settlement announced today, United Industries will make a full refund to any consumer who is dissatisfied with their purchase of Spectracide Terminate and who seeks a refund within fifteen months of purchase. Consumers may send refund requests, with proof of purchase, to:
Consumer Services Department Attn: Karen Holder United Industries Corporation 8494 Delport Drive St. Louis, MO 63114
Proof of purchase includes any one of the following: (1) a warranty registration card on file at the company, (2) return of the product box, (3) return of the stake insertion tool, (4) a purchase receipt, (5) a warranty card that has not been previously returned to the company.
The company will also pay $40,000 each to Georgia, eight other states and the District of Columbia as compensation of investigatory and litigation expenses. In settling the case, United Industries has not admitted liability or wrongdoing.
On October 15, 1998, Baker, seven other state Attorneys General and the Federal Trade Commission filed suit against United Industries in U.S. District Court in Baltimore charging that United Industries' advertising claims for Spectracide Terminate violated state and federal consumer protection laws. The lawsuit claimed that United Industries did not have substantiation for its claims that the use of Spectracide Terminate alone was effective in preventing termite infestations and damage to homes and that it would eliminate active termite infestations.
A trial began in U.S. District Court in Baltimore on January 4, 1999, but was halted the next day when the parties informed the court that United Industries had agreed to settle the case. The settlement announced today is being submitted to the court for approval.
During 1998, United Industries advertised Spectracide Terminate on television, in newspapers and magazines, and in point-of-sale brochures. An advertisement appearing in Time magazine on June 9, 1998 stated:
Introducing the first do-it-yourself termite home defense system.
* * *
Now there's a whole new idea in termite protection. New Spectracide TERMINATE. ™ So effective, it kills subterranean termites in the ground where they live. So they don't reach where you live. Each package comes with everything you need - termite protection stakes plus an insertion tool. Spectracide TERMINATE makes protecting your home easy. And for the first time ever, leaves it up to you.
A television advertisement that aired in 1998 stated:
Voice Over: To you, it's your castle. Sound Effect: [Crunching, chewing sounds.] Voice Over: To millions of termites, it's an all you can eat buffet. Sound Effect: [Box slams down, crunching sounds come to an abrupt halt.] Voice Over: But now there's new Terminate from Spectracide. The first ever do-it-yourself termite home defense system. Before it's too late Terminate.

Much better than expected!
By I Love Toys!
from Foster City, CA
I was looking for a disc golf target for casual play but balked at the high prices for full size sets or cheap build of lower cost ones. I came across this set while casually persuing the HS site. The product description and photos looked good and the price almost too good to be true. I decided to take a chance and order one. I set my expectations fairly low since again, it was very reasonably priced.The set arrived in short order and was very well packaged by the manufacturer. It only took a few minutes to set up and most of that time was removing all the protective packaging! No tools were needed at all. Build quality is excellent. The base is wide enough to be stable on uneven ground and never came close to tipping over when ever we flung our discs at it. Oh yes, the included discs are perfect for beginners and allow everyone to get in on the fun right away. I'm so impressed I'm going to order at least one more to we can mix it up in our yard.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I just wanted something to practice putting without having to drive to a course. At first I wanted more chains to make it more like my local course but after using it I like the amount it has cause it forces me to be more accurate. The price for this is fantastic. It's at least $30 cheaper than anywhere else I found. And it shipped the day I ordered it.

It is portable but a more sturdy option would be attractive but for me in a suburb I have to take it in for mowers etc.
By Rocco
from Hollister CA
I am a PE Teacher and we bought 9 of these for our classes. We have had them for 2 days and I have had nothing but problems with them. First of all, the pins that hold the pole together are too small for the holes and they just slip out and get lost. I had to use electrical tape to keep them in. The welds are broken on 2 of the baskets already. 2 days in... One of the baskets has completely broken free from the pole due to poor welds. one of the rings that holds the chain on at the top broke off after 3 throws. Needless to say, im disappointed with the quality... Were going to keep the ones that havnt broken yet because I dont want to go through the hassle of returning them all. Hammacher customer service has been good so far and is sending me return labels. Ill update this if possible if and when more brake.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Simple prostate removal is a procedure to remove the inside part of the prostate gland to treat an enlarged prostate. It is done through a surgical cut in your lower belly.
Prostatectomy - simple; Suprapubic prostatectomy; Retropubic simple prostatectomy; Open prostatectomy; Millen procedure
You will be given general anesthesia (asleep, pain-free) or spinal anesthesia (sedated, awake, pain-free). The procedure takes about 2 to 4 hours.
Your surgeon will make a surgical cut in your lower belly. The cut will go from below the belly button to just above the penis. The prostate gland is removed through this cut.
The surgeon removes only the inner part of the prostate gland. The outer part is left behind. The process is similar to scooping out the inside of an orange. After removing part of your prostate, the surgeon will close the outer shell of the prostate with stitches. A drain may be left in your belly to help remove extra fluids after surgery.
An enlarged prostate can cause problems with urinating. This can lead to urinary tract infections. Taking out part of the prostate gland can often make these symptoms better. Before you have surgery, your doctor may tell you some changes you can make in how you eat or drink. You may also be asked to try taking medicine.
Prostate removal can be done in many different ways. The kind of procedure you will have depends on the size of the prostate and what caused your prostate to grow. Open simple prostatectomy is often used when the prostate is too large for less invasive surgery. This means that the prostate weighs 100 grams or more. However, this method does not treat prostate cancer. Radical prostatectomy may be needed for cancer.
Prostate removal may be recommended if you have:
Your prostate may also need to be removed if taking medicine and changing your diet do not help your symptoms.
Risks for any surgery are:
Other risks are:
You will have many visits with your doctor and tests before your surgery:
If you are a smoker, you should stop several weeks before the surgery. Your nurse or doctor can help.
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs, vitamins, and other supplements you are taking, even ones you bought without a prescription.
During the weeks before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
You will stay in the hospital for about 3 to 4 days.
You will leave surgery with a
Many men recover in about 6 weeks. You can expect to be able to urinate as usual without leaking urine.

Horse-dicked Latin sensation Tony Serrano walks right up to coverman Fernando Montana, drops to his knees and pulls out the huge - we're talking HUGE - uncut piece from his jeans.

Larson's primed now and ready for the tag team session that quickly follows. Wait 'till you get a load of that big hoss bent over with his butt hiked up and waiting to receive!

The director of the worldly Heavenly Creatures (teenage girls, murder) and the otherworldly Lord of the Rings certainly has a vision broad enough to encompass both heaven and earth, which is where Alice Sebold's hugely popular novel takes place. Earth—specifically, a suburban American town in 1973—is where 14-year-old Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan) is murdered at the start of the tale. Heaven—or an in-between station—is where she resides as the story's narrator, able to see, but not be seen by, her family, friends, and killer. (Article continued below…)Jackson has found the perfect Susie in Ronan, who dazzled as the deceitful English girl Briony in Atonement.

'The September Issue' Is Serious About FluffIt's Friday night, and you feel like avoiding the usual Hollywood fare and taking in a documentary.

The first film, called The Age of Stupid, is an impassioned, rather hectoring screed that mixes science fiction and documentary with the noble intention of saving the planet. R. J. Cutler's The September Issue, shot before the economic crisis slashed Vogue's advertising pages, offers a few insights into the worlds of publishing, celebrity, and high fashion, but its appeal is clearly more voyeuristic than analytic: audiences will come hoping for a vérité version of The Devil Wears Prada.

The Return of the New York NeuroticA Woody Allen movie starring Larry David is, in theory, a perfect storm of urban neurosis. "I'm not a likable guy," announces David's character, Boris Yellnikoff, at the start of Whatever Works. David, the star and creator of Curb Your Enthusiasm, has always been a more aggressive neurotic than the kvetcher Allen, whose characters tend to mask their misanthropy with halting self-denigration. Playing "himself" on HBO, David is a beehive of irritability, lashing out at a world that always contrives to reward his contempt with humiliation. In Allen's movie, as a suicidal former physics professor convinced that he's a genius and that the world is spinning out of control, his misanthropy is even more ferocious. But the funny thing is, his venom leaves no sting. Though Boris tells the audience "this isn't a feel-good movie," this likable but paper-thin Allen effort is precisely that, an urban fairy tale with a happy ending that's anything but hard-won. (Story continued below...)Has the...
David Ansen on "Rudo y Cursi"The renaissance in Mexican movies is a fraternal affair. The movement's biggest stars—Alfonso Cuarón ("Y Tu Mamá También"), Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth") and Alejandro Gonzáles Iñárritu ("Amores Perros")—are all pals, much like that band of brothers (Spielberg, Lucas, Scorsese, Coppola) behind American cinema's 1970s "golden age." Cuarón, del Toro and Iñárritu are all listed as producers of the latest Mexican delight, "Rudo y Cursi," which is directed by Cuarón's actual brother Carlos, and stars "Y Tu Mamá's" irresistible duo, Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna—who have been best friends since they were 9 years old. It's definitely a family affair.Not coincidentally, "Rudo y Cursi" is the story of half-brothers, two hicks from the country whose skills at soccer are spotted by a savvy talent scout, who brings them to Mexico City where fame, fortune and beautiful women fall on them like fruit from the trees. Inevitably, the fruit rots, and these slumdog millionaires learn...

"Waltz With Bashir" ReviewAri Folman was a 19-year-old Israeli soldier in the 1982 war in Lebanon. But he had suppressed almost all memories of that time until 20 years later, when a friend recounted a recurring nightmare of a pack of snarling, vicious dogs marauding the streets of Tel Aviv. This unnerving dream is the first thing we see in Folman's remarkable "Waltz With Bashir," an animated documentary that scrambles your notions of what animation, and documentary, can be. Interviewing his friends and fellow soldiers, Folman begins to piece together the savage, surreal experience of that war, which culminated in the massacre at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps, where Christian Phalangist militia slaughtered hundreds of unarmed Palestinians while the Israelis looked on.The images of war that Folman and his chief illustrator, David Polonsky, conjure up have a feverish, infernal beauty. Dreams and reality jumble together. One surviving soldier fantasizes being carried across the sea riding the breast of a...

Request for TASC Proposals Guidelines
TASC is dedicated to improving technology on campus through the use of the Student Technology Assessment. To encourage wide University input in the planning process, TASC is now seeking proposals from the entire McNeese community for items to be considered.
Expenditures will only be for projects that directly affect students and their learning. Faculty must submit proposals through the dean of their college. Staff in non-academic units must submit proposals through appropriate channels. Students may submit proposals either through the dean of their college or through the President of the Student Government.
Proposals must be delivered to the Chief Information Technology Officer.
Proposals should include:
- The proposer's name, MSU address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
- A concise statement of what is being requested.
- The location where the items will be used.
- If needed, a completed checklist of electrical/HVAC installation requirements and/or ADA compliance by Facilities. (see attached for Facilities - TASC Proposal Compliance Checklist)
- If needed, a completed checklist of network installation requirements by Network Services. (see attached for Network Services - TASC Proposal Compliance Checklist)
- A clear statement of how the proposal directly affects students and their learning.
- An estimate of the number of students that will be served.
- When possible, a preliminary or estimated budget.
- Please allow at least 1.5% of the total to account for shipping and handling charges. Example: $50,000 x 1.5% = $750.00
- Approval by the proposer's dean for faculty, or appropriate supervisor for non-academic staff must also be included.
There are some sample proposals included to help you in the preparation of your proposal.
Some principles TASC will use in ranking projects include:
- All projects funded from the Student Technology Fee must directly affect students.
- TASC will give greater priority to projects that affect greater numbers of students.
- Both capital and recurring costs can be included in proposals, but proposals with a high proportion of recurring costs are discouraged.
- Projects that serve as cost sharing or provide matching funds for bigger projects are encouraged.
- Proposals that fit within the existing university infrastructure and (for those proposals needing such approval) submitted with properly signed TASC Proposal Checklists will be given priority.
Please direct questions to:
Bobby McLean , Coordinator of TASC Operations, at 475-5995 or via e-mail at: firstname.lastname@example.com

SAN BERNARDINO - For the second time in a period of a few months, the Juarez family and their dogs are the victims of theft.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department is investigating the thefts, the latest of which took place between 1 and 2 a.m. Wednesday morning when someone stole four French bulldogs and an an English bulldog from the yard of the Juarez family home, which is in the 6000 block of Guthrie Street within an unincorporated area near northeast San Bernardino.
The crime follows the theft of an additional two French bulldog puppies, which took place about three months ago. Those dogs have yet to be recovered.
"They (my children) keep asking where the dogs are," Fernando Juarez said.
"It's kind of hard, because I tell them, 'I don't know when the dogs are coming back."
The Juarez family enter their pets in dog shows and keep an array of trophies and ribbons in their home.
The French bulldogs that were taken in the most recent theft are named Bom Bom, Olivia, Bogar and Argus. The English bulldog is named Dory.
Juarez works a graveyard shift as a maintenance foreman for Metrolink. When he came home from work Wednesday morning, he noticed that Argus did not greet him the dog's usual spot, but he went to bed as if nothing was unusual. It wasn't until a few hours later that his wife told him the dogs were gone.
The dogs stolen from the Juarez's home in the prior incident are named Rose and Snow. Two other French bulldogs, Ginger and Mavis, remain with the family.
Sheriff's detective Kenneth Owen confirmed the department is investigating the thefts. Whoever stole the animals could be charged with grand theft.
"Since they are (worth) over $950, it becomes a grand theft," Owens said.
Anyone with information on the case may call Owens at 909-856-6178.

...I figured this would cause peoiple installing my add on to automatically get the script.artistslideshow (which is in the official repo), but it appears instead they just get a message saying my add on is 'damaged'...
Is that expected behaviour? Shouldn't it cause the artist slideshow add on to be downloaded automatically? Or if already installed, the version checked and a check for updates triggered if version is less than 1.3?
That seems logical to me....but I may be misunderstanding the way 'requires' works...

Re: Is it possible to "pre-evaluate" parts of pure function?
Thanks a lot for all answers (including emails). I suppose the correct
SetOptions[f, MultiplierFunction -> (Evaluate[const #] &)]
escaped me due to my lack of understanding of the pure function (body)&
syntax. As Jon McLoone points out, "the Evaluate needs to be on the
argument of Function not around the outside of it"

Pixies add Paz Lenchatin as Touring Bassist
Listen to The Pixies on iHeartRadio
Maybe the third time will be the charm for the Pixies when it comes to bass players.
The band has announced Monday that bassist number three will be Paz Lenchatin, who previously played with A Perfect Circle, the Entrance Band, and Billy Corgan's Zwan.
Lenchatin will be joining the Pixies on their upcoming North American trek, which starts January 15th in Toronto. She's replacing the Muff's Kim Shattuck, who parted ways with the band last month.
Shattuck said the departure was disappointing after a short tenure that started when founding bassist Kim Deal left earlier this year.
But all this shuffling doesn't seem to be affecting the Pixies' spirit. Drummer David Lovering said in a statement that working with different bass players is "very new for the band," but he says they're "having a great time doing it."

Portland, OR (SportsNetwork.com) - Portland coughed up a 16-point fourth quarter lead, but LaMarcus Aldridge tallied 27 points with 15 rebounds and Damian Lillard's running bank shot with 11.9 seconds left proved to be the game-winner as the Trail Blazers survived with a 106-103 victory over the Toronto Raptors.
Portland led 98-82 with 7:42 remaining after a Wesley Matthews triple, but managed just four points over the next 7 1/2 minutes while Toronto made its charge. DeMar DeRozan, who scored 14 of his game-high 36 points in the fourth, gave the Raptors their first lead of the contest when he made two free throws after drawing a foul on Matthews with 25.4 ticks to play.
Out of a timeout, Lillard drove right and banked in a floater to restore Portland's lead. DeRozan then got tied up with Matthews, won the ensuing jump ball but turned it over late, as Nicolas Batum hit a pair of free throws with 0.1 seconds left to result in the final margin.
Lillard and Matthews netted 21 points apiece to help Portland snap a two-game losing skid, while Batum scored 18.
"We played defense. We contested shots," Aldridge said. "DeRozan made some great shots and that's why he's an All Star this year. He made great reads in the pick and roll of finding [Patrick] Patterson open for the jump shot. He was big time down the stretch."
Kyle Lowry donated 23 points and eight assists in the setback. Jonas Valanciunas had 18 points, Patterson added 13 and a team-high nine boards in a reserve role and DeRozan handed out a career-high 12 assists.
"We understand what we had to do, honestly," DeRozan said. "We understand we were down big and the only way we would get back in this game was to get stops and that's what we started doing. That was the main part. We were missing a lot of easy shots that we normally make, but we don't worry about that. The only thing we worry about is the defensive game and we picked it up in the second half."
DeRozan was responsible for 22 of 26 baskets in the second half, notching 12 field goals and 10 helpers as Toronto nearly completed the comeback. It was 57-40 at halftime, and the Blazers looked well on their way to winning in blowout fashion.
But the resilient Raptors turned it on midway through the third, cutting a 19- point deficit to just five after a DeRozan three-point play with 1:27 left in the period.
Portland restored its double digit lead early in the fourth on Matthews' trey. The lead appeared safe when Aldridge slammed home an alley-oop from Batum at 5:01 for a 102-92 edge.
The Blazers then went without a bucket from that point on until Lillard's winner, while DeRozan's 10-footer sparked an 11-0 Raptors run. Patterson knocked down consecutive mid-range jumpers and Lowry added a 3-pointer during the spurt, which DeRozan capped with his free throws.
Earlier, Aldridge registered a double-double in the first quarter with 12 points and 11 boards to help Portland to a 31-19 lead after the opening frame.
The Blazers shot 28-of-35 from the free throw line ... Portland has won two straight over the Raptors and 10 of 11 ... Patterson outscored Portland's bench by himself. The Blazers reserves had just three field goals for 11 points.

"Don't criticize what you don't understand, son. You never walked in that man's shoes."
That was Elvis Presley's spin on the Indian proverb "Don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his moccasins."
So I'll take his advice and not judge journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi too harshly. He's the Iraqi TV reporter who hurled his shoes at President George W. Bush at a press conference in Baghdad recently. Bush was making a farewell tour of the country and working on a plan to end the war by 2010.
Each year at this time, the editorial department at the News-Journal sends out more than a dozen letters, all of them pretty much alike.
Sounds kind of boring, huh?
Well, it's an important part of our job.
The letters are requests for notification of meetings and copies of information that our public officials are to consider at their meetings.
May 24, 2005, wasn't the typical wedding anniversary for my husband, Gerald Myers, and me. In fact, it was the worst because we met with an oncologist who described a treatment plan for Gerald's squamous cell nasopharyngeal carcinoma with which he had been diagnosed the week before. But after six months of rigorous treatment, Gerald beat his disease and began to recover.
I don't make New Year's resolutions. It's true I may have "made" one or two in the past for the sake of filling this column space, but, if I did, I had no intention of actually following through with them.
I admire those who make New Year's resolutions and actually follow through with them. Those people are superheroes in my book.
It's not that I haven't tried to better myself over the years. I have tried several times and each time, I ended up worse off.
Case in point - my decision to lose weight.
It's often the most difficult part of being a reporter - finagling someone into allowing me to photograph them.
And I can understand the feeling of not wanting some stranger to take a photograph of me. After all, isn't one of the best parts of being a reporter that you are the one taking the photos and not in them?
I read recently that the Bureau of Motor Vehicles in Indiana is changing its rules for driver's license photos, and people will no longer be allowed to smile when getting or renewing their licenses. They also won't be able to wear a hat, scarf or even glasses.
The annual Christmas Wish List hasn't changed a whole lot from last year's. I'm not quite sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.
For those who might be unfamiliar with the "list," each year at Christmas I publish a tongue-in-cheek wish list for various individuals and groups in the community. It's gotten to be such a regular thing that it almost wouldn't seem like Christmas without it.
So, here goes...
Dear Santa,
Merger. I have always considered that to be a dirty word when it comes to our local schools.
I am a proud graduate of Campbellsville High School myself ('82), and I also pay tuition for all three of our children to attend Campbellsville Schools.
I have always believed in karma - both good and bad.
I know it may be a bit naive, but I honestly believe that when you do some selfless deed out of the pure goodness of your heart, whether it's large or small, something good will happen to you in return.
That's not to say you should only do good deeds in anticipation of receiving something in return.
Nevertheless, my karma has been a bit out of whack lately.
I went to a movie theater a few weeks ago on a Friday night, and apparently, my karma was so off that it came back to haunt me.
I'm not sure that I'm going to make it. I'm really not.
Our son has only had his driver's permit for four weeks and already I think I've worn a hole in the carpet on the passenger side floorboard where the emergency brake pedal should be. I believe there's also a permanent handprint in the door handle where I've gripped it so often.
How do parents survive these six months before kids can drive alone? Should kids even be allowed to drive alone - ever?
Bailout. I used to equate this with the penal system - as in bail someone out of jail.
Lately, bailout has taken on a new meaning - as in bail out companies and businesses whose poor decisions put them in dire financial straits.
First, the U.S. Congress bailed out the nation's financial markets to the tune of $700 billion.
While this plan initially left me scratching my head, I began to see the wisdom after a few local experts put it into layman's terms for me.

This question has been posted already but never answered, I only need an answer if there has been a fix for this. I have looked over the entire forum and have not run across anything yet. I am running mac osx 10.6 with Parallels Desktop 6 and get an error every time i try to install guest tools. I have installed kernel source via prepare-kernel-sources and that did not fix the issue. Please let me know if there is a fix or if it's not worth my while trying to install, thank you .

Vitamin E: One compelling study involving over 17,000 participants found that those who consumed 400 IU or more of vitamin E daily for more than two years had a significantly healthier cardiovascular system than those consuming less. The length of time taking vitamin E was found to be more important than the dosage taken beyond 400 IU daily. Everyone should take vitamin E as a preventative, even if you're not at risk. An excellent choice is Lindberg E-400 IU.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Research on this vitamin / enzyme-like substance has focused mainly on those with severe heart problems. As you might suspect, the highest concentrations of CoQ10 are found in the heart. If you are taking any of the statin drugs, you should also be taking CoQ10 because statin drugs interfere with natural CoQ10 production. Typical dose levels for the average person are 30-120 mg daily. These levels are probably adequate as a preventative, with higher doses (up to 300 mg) better for those with current problems. In general, the more severe your problem, the greater the benefit. We recommend Lindberg CoQ10 (100 mg).
L-Carnitine: This amino acid-like compound is concentrated in the heart muscle where it facilitates the metabolism of fatty acids for energy. It is important to your blood vessels, heart rhythm and those with cholesterol and triglyceride issues. Most research has focused on taking 1 gram (1 Tbsp) a day and up to 4 grams for people with severe problems. One of our best sellers is Fitness Labs L-Carnitine Liquid.
Lecithin: The good cholesterol (HDL) you need is manufactured partly from the linoleic acid, choline and inositol found in this natural emulsifier. Everyone should make a habit of throwing one or two tablespoons of lecithin granules in a protein shake or smoothie every day. Try Lindberg Lecithin Granules.
Policosanol: This supplement comes from the wax portion of sugar cane may help support healthy cholesterol levels, compared to prescription drugs. Suggested dose is 10-20mg a day. Try Lindberg Policosanol.

Are there any open source forums capable of acting like a widget? ...where the forum display can be loaded as the contents of a division (<div>) in an arbitrary enclosing CMS? (in other words I wish I could find an open source forum I could plug into my CMS).
Most forums expect to be the whole show, with <html><head> and <body> tags. Getting rid of those elements ( so the forum itself could become the contents of an enclosing division ) is tricky, because of information passing in the head (if (a,b,c) { header("location: xyz") }, etc.
Forum widgets seem like the inevitable future. But I haven't been able to find any yet. Ah. And I don't want to use an I frame. Thank you.
Hmmmm. It does look like Javascript magic of some kind. I don't want the forum's contents to be invisible to the search engines. And I don't want no IFrames'a no kind.
I will have to check it out. Thank you.
vanillaforums has an embed mode with a tutorial on embedding the forum in a wordpress cms.
XML makes it easy to figure parent/child indenting in a message heading list, so you can see this post is a response to that one, etc. That is doable with relations but ugly.
Storing the names is an interesting question. Not normalized data (in the oft repeated data sense) is a big no no in relations, because in relational schemas the oft-repeated data tends to be stored in different tables. So synchronizing updates is a nightmare. Oft-repeated data in XML is less error prone, because it all tends to exist at the same oft-repeated xpath. So updates are reliable. It may not be space efficient. But disk space is cheap. Reliability matters more.
HOWEVERBut the equivalent of "foreign keys" from one xpath to another are not difficult to do, if you are good at XML and xpath. At least if you process the query result as an array merge between two separate queries. That may sound inefficient. But it's still faster than the dog slow hierarchy modeling done with relations. (I spent 5 years working with Exist and SleepyCat, which are Java Servlet XML databases....that was before mysql began to support xpath queries over XML blobs). I think what I (sort of) proposed is eminently doable. And that it would be both easy to manipulate and zippy fast.
Post counts for users are not a problem. You need the right xpath statement to do it, sometimes but not always (in cases like that) with a little post query processing.
There aren't any "well-known" open source forums that can easily act like a widget, inside any arbitrary division. With Phorum, for instance, if you erase the html head and body output from the templating engine the whole system breaks down, because they do too much hotrod stuff in the head.
But at sourceforge there are a dozen or more projects that can be made to work, simply by erasing the html, head and body tags from the templating system. Non of the forums I found (that can be made to work that way) use captcha for the registration process. But that's easily added.
I think I'll get one of those going so it works well enough. And then I'll think about writing a threaded forum that uses XPath instead of SQL, over XML stored in a blob in mysql. An XML-based forum seems like the most elegant fit to me. Threaded messages are the same thing as a hierarchy. It's possible to model hierarchies with relations, but awkward and difficult. With XML hierarchies are the native model. SQL queries over kludged hierarchies are slow as molasses. With XPath, hierarchical querying is lighting fast by comparison.
Threaded messages are the same thing as a List, unless you're trying to do something fancy with the display.
Take a look at this thread - there is no difference between your first post and mine, except that yours occured first (ORDER BY date).
XML is a viable means of storing forum data, I suppose, but how are you going to link poster name to post? Store the name over and over? And the XML tags? Date? How are you going to do post counts for users?
If you're going to display the threads as a heirarchy, then i'd entirely agree with you. My point was that a thread displayed as this forum (and most forums) does isnt actually a hierarchy, it's just an ordered list.
I use my own CMS (Robopages)
Montana Riverboats runs on it.
But I'm not sure it matters. A forum that could plug in as the contents of an arbitrary div could work anywhere. That would be a handy tool.
Are you using an open source CMS or is it custom built?

Band of Horses frontman going on 'Birdsmell' solo tour
Listen to Band of Horses on iHeartRadio
Band of Horses frontman Ben Bridwell is riding out on his own for a bit. He's set to kick off a short solo tour this weekend, playing reworked Band of Horses songs along with a few new tracks he recorded under the name Birdsmell.
Bridwell isn't offering an explanation for the new stage name, but he did explain in a post on the band's website that the solo project dates back to 2008. He says it began when he recorded a cover version of a George Harrison song with some buddies.
He invited them back a few years later to work on some original material, and has now decided to unleash the songs online. Bridwell says these recordings were just about having fun, but that doesn't mean he won't take his upcoming live gigs seriously.
The eight-stop trek is scheduled to start Saturday in Carrboro, North Carolina.
Bridwell hasn't mentioned any plans to put out a full-fledged solo album, but "Rolling Stone" says the new Birdsmell songs will be available on seven-inch vinyl exclusively at his live shows.
Ben Bridwell's "Birdsmell" Tour Dates:
11/2 -- Carrboro, NC -- Cat's Cradle
11/4 -- Charlotte, NC -- Evening Muse
11/6 -- Asheville, NC -- The LAB
11/8 -- Knoxville, TN -- The Bowery
11/9 -- Chattanooga, TN -- Rhythm & Brews
11/11 -- Birmingham, AL -- Bottle Tree
11/13 -- Atlanta, GA -- The Earl
11/15 -- Athens, GA -- 40 Watt

Thread: What is Implantation Bleeding?
Hybrid View

What is Implantation Bleeding?
We have recently had a number of questions about implantation bleeding on the forum. I thought it would be useful to pool together some information on implantation bleeding to help our forum members who are actively trying to conceive.
Implantation bleeding is thought to occur in around 25% of all pregnancies. It is caused by the fertilised egg implanting itself in the uterus. This implantation can cause some of the uterus lining to be dislodged and result in the implantation bleeding.
In a regular 28 day menstrual cycle, most women will ovulate between 12 to 14 days before their period would start. Implantation occurs around 10 to 14 days after ovulation. This means that if you are going to experience implantation bleeding it would occur just before or around the time your period is due.
Some women incorrectly interpret the implantation bleeding as a light period and assume they are not pregnant. A pregnancy test is the best way to ascertain if you are pregnant; most home pregnancy tests can be performed from the day your period is due although some doctors recommend waiting to test until a week after your period is due. Implantation bleeding is different to a menstrual period bleed because implantation bleeding tends to be: brown or pink, light and it will not become a heavy flow of fresh blood. It can last from a couple of hours to a few days (i.e. it is shorter in length than a menstrual period bleed). Some women experience mild cramps with implantation bleeding but these tend to be less severe than period cramps.
Did you experience implantation bleeding when you became pregnant? What was it like?

Implantation bleeding is when the blastocyte implants itself into the lining of your womb. And it can cause irritation and movement to the lining which you will notice as spotting in your knickers, and you may even experience slight cramping or soreness.

Nicholas C. DiDonato
On this blog, my esteemed colleague and friend Connor Wood recently wrote a defense of the Templeton Foundation that centered on a defense of the study of "religion" (a word I wished he would have defined). While I agree with 90% of what he argued, the remaining ten percent troubles me. More specifically, I strongly disagree with his statement that, "refusing to engage religion… is an apparently rational decision that betrays a woeful misunderstanding of the delicate, unconscious, and evolutionary processes that endowed us with religious cultures.… Religion was not designed by conscious agents, and rejecting its explicit beliefs scarcely touches its actual nature."

Barbara Walters retires after 50 years
(NEWSER) – As expected, Barbara Walters today announced the end of a broadcasting career that began during the Truman administration, People reports. "Let me just say I have been on television continuously for over 50 years," Walters said on The View today, adding that she is "perfectly healthy" and this is her decision and she's "very happy" with it. The veteran journalist, who has been at ABC for nearly 40 years and will be 84 this fall, plans to step down from The View next summer, but will stay on as executive producer and will be involved in selecting new co-hosts after Joy Behar leaves the show, according to theHollywood Reporter.

Theoretical explanation will accompany a practical analysis and demonstration, including performances of music of Brahms, Chopin, Mozart & Haydn. Davis' research is grounded in literary criticism, specifically in the fields known as structural narratology and rhetorical narrative theory. The approach has implications for understanding how 19th century music engages with the aesthetics of 19th century literary Romanticism, and it has implications for how we might interpret the more idiosyncratic features of some 18th century sonatas.
