hate, i know you didnt write this tut, but i'm hoping you'll be able to help me out. everything works fine as far as being able to boot windows and bt4. heres my setup:
two hard drives.
hard drive one is sda with two partiotions, sda1 and sda2 respectively.
sda1 has the windows operating system
sda2 has files and applications
hard drive 2 is sdb and has 4 partitions
sdb1 an ntfs partition
sdb2 the bt4 boot partition
sdb3 the linux swap
sdb4 bt4 partition
the problem im having is that when i boot into windows, sda2 is showing as a hidden partition. i tried using a disk utility and unhide (unhid?) it, but whenerver i reboot it comes back as hidden. after that i backed up the data from the drive, formatted the partition, deleted, then recreated the partition. even after this though it shows up as a hidden partiton. using fdisk to glean a little more info, it also shows up as a hidden ntfs partition....any ideas whats going on here? could lilo be setting the partition as hidden when booting?

Adams Bank VP Retires After 37 Years
ADAMS, Mass. — Allyn Basel, senior vice president of Adams Community Bank, retired after 37 years with the institution.
Basel began her banking career in 1974 at what was then Adams Co-Operative Bank after graduating from the former North Adams State College with a bachelor of science degree.
She started as a teller for the bank's Park Street branch in Adams and was promoted to customer service representative shortly afterward. From there, she moved into a variety of roles and was one of the bank's senior officers responsible for retail operations, information technology, compliance and bank security administration.
In 1996, she was promoted to vice president of the institution — a position she held until being promoted to senior vice president in 2011, the same year Adams Co-Operative and South Adams Savings merged into Adams Community Bank.
"Allyn has been the epitome of a dedicated employee," said Joseph F. Truskowski Jr., president of Adams Community Bank. "Her priority has always been our bank and our customers — no matter what needed to be done, it was always accomplished impeccably with the highest attention to detail."
Basel has been actively involved with the Northern Berkshire United Way as well as volunteering for many other Northern Berkshire community organizations. Upon her retirement, she intends to spend more time with her family.

Click a word on the left and the definition will appear here:
Aerobic: Relating to oxygen and its use in the body.
Aerobic exercise: Also called cardiovascular exercise, this type of exercise builds endurance by keeping the heart pumping for an extended period of time. It strengthens your heart and blood vessels, improves cholesterol, strengthens bones, and helps you lose weight.
Aerobics: A type of cardiovascular exercise that involves repeated body movements, such as stepping and bending, often to music.
Calorie: A unit of energy provided by food that is used by the body. Two different foods of equal weight provide a different number of calories. (For example, a gram of broccoli has fewer calories than a gram of brownie.) High-calorie foods are more likely to cause your body to store unnecessary calories as fat in the body, because the extra calories are not burned off by muscle activity and metabolism.
Cardiac: Relating to the heart.
Cardiovascular exercise: Also called aerobic exercise, this type of exercise builds endurance by keeping the heart pumping for an extended period of time. It strengthens your heart and blood vessels, improves cholesterol, strengthens bones, and helps you lose weight.
Carotid pulse: The heartbeat you can feel by placing two fingers lightly under the angle of your jaw.
Concentric contractions: These movements shorten muscles (for example, the "up" motion when a bicep lifts a weight).
Cool down: The final period of your workout where you slow the pace of your activity and gradually bring your heart and breathing rate back to normal. If you don't cool down, your blood pressure may drop too quickly, which can cause dizziness or lightheadedness. It may also trigger abnormal rhythms of the heart, which are extremely dangerous.
Eccentric contractions: These movements lengthen muscles (the "down" phase as weights are lowered).
Endorphins: Hormones released by your brain during exercise that make you feel good. This can help you enjoy the exercise and may improve your mood for several hours after your workout.
Endurance: The length of time your body is physically able to perform an exercise. For example, when you begin running, you may be able to run for only a few minutes, but gradually your endurance may increase until you can run much longer times.
Exercise: Physical activity that is usually performed with a fairly regular workout routine, often to meet specific fitness goals.
Fatigue: A lack of energy or a feeling of being tired following exercise, physical exertion, and insufficient calorie intake. (There are also medical causes.)
Flexibility training: These exercises help your muscles stretch farther in a given direction. Flexibility training helps prevent cramps, stiffness, and injuries, and can give you a wider range of motion. These exercises also emphasize proper breathing, balance, and alignment. Some forms of flexibility training, such as yoga, pilates, and tai chi, include meditation and breathing techniques that can reduce stress.
Heart rate: The number of times your heart beats within a minute. Each individual beat can be felt in certain locations on the body. (See carotid pulse and radial pulse.) You can count these beats to calculate your heart rate (beats per minute).
Isometric exercise: An exercise that does not change the length of the muscle. For example, pushing against a wall.
Ligament: Tissue that connects one bone to another bone.
Maximum heart rate: The fastest your heart can beat, no matter how hard you exercise. The most accurate way to measure this is with an exercise stress test. While you walk or run on a treadmill, measurements of your blood pressure and heart rate are recorded. A less exact way to determine your maximum heart rate is with a simple calculation based on your age. (Subtract your age from 220.)
Metabolism: All of the biochemical processes in the body that use energy throughout the day, including digestion, production of hormones, breathing, and regulation of body temperature.
Physical activity: Any body movement that burns more calories than a state of physical rest. In addition to exercises like running or lifting weights, physical activity includes countless non-structured activities like gardening and getting up to turn off the TV.
Radial pulse: The heartbeat you can feel by placing two fingers lightly on the wrist, just under the thumb.
Reps: Short for "repetitions," which is the number of times you perform an exercise without stopping. For example, each time you lift a weight and then lower it again is one repetition. If you lift the weight and then lower it ten times and then stop, you have done a "set" consisting of 10 reps.
Resistance training: See weight training.
Resting heart rate: Your heart rate while you are not exerting yourself.
Set: A group of repetitions. A set is usually followed by a brief period of rest or alternate exercise, after which you do another set, and repeat until done.
Spot reducing: An ineffective exercise strategy that focuses on one body part with the goal of losing fat in that one area. However, fat is not lost in targeted locations just because muscles in that area are exercised. When you burn excess calories, fat is lost all over the body. Therefore, an hour of brisk walking on a regular basis would be more effective at losing extra weight in your stomach area than doing 20 situps every day.
Strength training: See weight training.
Stress Test: A stress test helps determine the risk for a heart attack from exercise. Anyone with a heart problem or history of heart disease should have a stress test before embarking on an exercise program. Many experts currently also recommend this test before a vigorous exercise program for older persons who are sedentary, even in the absence of known or suspected cardiovascular disease. It is expensive, however, and some experts believe that it may not be necessary for many older people with no evident health problems or risk factors. They recommend instead a carefully monitored program, starting out with low-intensity exercises and gradually building up.
Stretching: Applying gentle pressure to a muscle, generally after a workout when the muscles are warm, to help the muscle heal and increase flexibility.
Target heart rate: When your heart is beating between 60 - 80% of its maximum rate.
Tendon: Tissue that connects muscle to bone.
Warm up: Any simple, comfortable movement that lets your body gradually adjust from a resting state to the demands of intense exercise. The warm-up is performed at the start of exercise. Most people find it convenient to warm up by doing their chosen activity at a slower pace. Warming up helps you avoid injuring your muscles and straining your heart.
Weight training: Also called strength or resistance training, these exercises build up your muscles and help maintain bone density. Strength training involves performing repetitions ("reps") that move specific muscles in the same pattern repeatedly against a resisting force.

Hmmm, i know video's aren't, and could be looked into that. I believe it was not added into the skin options since it's a non-library mode, and everyone would be using xbmc for video's as well. Though it still sound's like a good idea to add in a future update. As well as pictures.

Few documents that Cassiodorus could have handed down to posterity would have been more valuable.
We can go at once to the fountain-head for information as to the character of Cassiodorus.
This is an important passage, as illustrating the nature of the office which Cassiodorus held as Consiliarius to his father.
The statement of Cassiodorus that he translated Nicomachus is rhetorical.
The other most important work of Cassiodorus is the collection of letters called the Vari, in twelve books.
But if you wish to know the times, you must read Cassiodorus thoroughly.
The chief chemical ingredients are, as stated by Cassiodorus, salt and sulphur.
Lictor, apostrophised by Cassiodorus in his 'Indulgentia,' xi.
The chief record of his reign is in the collection of twelve books of public epistles composed in his name by Cassiodorus.
Does Cassiodorus mean 'like the water-fowl,' or 'like the Cyclades?'

Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
On Tuesday, April 8, Multnomah Bible College students
will put their learning in action through a bi-annual
community outreach. Each year, Multnomah undergraduates
serve area ministries, homeowners and businesses by
cleaning, painting, removing yard debris, cutting down
dead trees. Simply stated, the students are putting
their faith into action.
The Multnomah Community Outreach (MCO) and the student
ministries department sponsor this program, known to
students at the "day of outreach". Each year
approximately 600 undergraduate students contribute
about 120,000 volunteer hours in the Portland area.
In addition to the day of outreach, students complete
three to five hours a week of ministry work within a
local church or para-church ministry. A few ministries
Multnomah undergraduates have volunteered at are the
Portland Rescue Mission, Salvation Army, Portland Fellowship
and Good Shepherd Community Church.
One of the many opportunities students will perform

Break in missing person's case?
(Cleveland) - Is there a break in an 18-year-old missing person's case?
FBI and police are searching a home on Vega Avenue in the area of West 25th Street and I-90.
This isn't far from the home where Ariel Castro kept three young women hostage for about a decade, but the FBI says the cases are not related.
The FBI's Vicki Anderson says a tip has led to a search for Christina Adkins who has been missing since January 11, 1995. Christina was 18 and five months pregnant when she went missing.
FBI spokeswoman Vicki Anderson
The house is occupied, but the current owner is not under suspicion. A former friend of Adkins used to live there.

Any of you guys catch the MMA thing on Richard and Judy?
They had some pretty boy doctor who kept going on about how dangerous it was etc, on about headshots, damage on the brain etc etc etc
Yet no one says anything about boxing where every single shot is to the brain. They seemed quite disapointed when they hadnt seen any serious injurys.
The doctor replied "Out of 20 matches there has been 20 knockouts, which means at least 1 knockout each fight".
I dare say he meant events etc.
How many KO`s in the commonwealth boxing has their been on a per match basis?
All in all though, i reckon they were disapointed they couldnt get it completly like a human cock fighting sport.

Now that Kevin Love is officially a Cleveland Cavalier, it's open season for his former employer and/or teammates to take shots at him on his way out the door. That's exactly what Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor has done. Would you expect anything different?
Taylor recently opened up to ESPN 1500 about all things Kevin Love. And wouldn't you know, he took this opportunity to point out Love's faults. Funny, though. None of this was said in the years Love was the face of the franchise.
"I question Kevin if this is going to be the best deal for him because I think he's going to be the third player on a team. I don't think he's going to get a lot of credit if they do really well. I think he'll get the blame if they don't do well. He's going to have to learn to handle that.
"I think he's around a couple guys are awful good. Now I'm not saying that Kevin's not good, but I think where maybe he got away with some stuff, not playing defense on our team, I'm not sure how that's going to work in Cleveland. So I would guess they're going to ask him to play more defense. And he's foul-prone," Taylor said.
Makes you wonder why Minnesota kept him around so long then.

That's the facts mam'n
The old catch of do you want to give a politically correct and boring answer or actually speak the truth and have people whine about it?
These don't qualify as "shots". I don't think he said anything that insulting, or that isn't true. Kevin Love definitely benefitted from having Pekovic on the floor with him on both sides of the ball. In some areas, Varejao can be more useful, but he's nowhere near the bruiser under the basket that Pekovic is, and I expect a handful of bigs to have high point and rebound games against Cleveland this year.
Was the Timberwolves owner watching Kevin Love play or was he in the "sky-box" swilling martinis?
Actually the owner sits courtside right next to the team. In the 6 years Love was here, he was a great scorer and rebounder; but he never played D and we never came close to making the playoffs. It was time for a change for both parties.

Assessing Thinking
Assessment to Improve Student Thinking
In many classrooms, students' thinking is assessed solely on the basis of the products of that thinking. In the case of multiple-choice and true-false questions, we assumed that if students came up with the right answer, they were using good thinking strategies. We know now that this is not always the case. The challenge is, of course, how to get a window on a process that goes on primarily inside the brain. Fortunately, many thinking processes leave traces behind, traces that not only help a teacher understand how a student is thinking, but also help students grow as thinkers. By examining the artifacts of students' thinking, such as discussions, graphic organizers, and notes, teachers can learn a great deal about the thinking processes of their students, and they can use that information to make good decisions about individual and group instruction.
Andrade (1999) offers the following guidelines to help educators teach and assess the higher-order thinking skills of their students:
- Explain to students what kinds of thinking you expect from them.
- Frequently discuss and give examples of what good thinking looks like in different projects and subject areas.
- Ask students to contribute to the criteria and standards you will use to assess their thinking.
- Give students input into the kind of assessment that would be most appropriate for different projects and units of study.
- Give students instruction and practice with assessing themselves with the assessments you will use.
- Assess thinking processes as well as products of thinking.
- Give students a lot of feedback on their thinking and provide them with opportunities to give feedback to each other.
Assessing any higher-order thinking skill requires careful planning and instruction. First, students must be taught how to perform the skill through explicit instruction and extensive practice. Proficiency at a thinking skill can be assessed in a number of ways, through activities which target certain thinking skills and strategies, even through paper-and-pencil exercises, as well as through observation.
The true test, however, of whether students have learned the thinking skills they have been taught is if they use them spontaneously and independently in situations that require them. To assess thinking in this context, teachers must plan learning activities which require specific higher-order thinking skills in order to be successful. With those necessary skills in mind, then, teachers can analyze written assignments and learning logs and observe large- and small-group interaction for evidence of the targeted skills. As students make their thinking visible through writing and speaking, key words or questions indicate different thinking skills and provide teachers with evidence that students are using the skills independently and effectively.
If teachers notice that students are not able to think critically or creatively, solve problems, or reflect on their own learning, then further instruction is in order. If, on the other hand, students are capable of higher-order thinking but are not choosing to exercise it unless they are asked specifically to do so, they may need either to understand more about how and when to use the skills or to recognize their value and importance. Teachers can provide more scaffolding during complex tasks that require complex thinking skills and engineer activities that help students see the value in that kind of thinking.
Teachers cannot expect their students to use higher-order thinking skills after just one, or even five lessons. These skills must be constantly reinforced and assessed throughout the year in a variety of contexts. In classrooms where higher-order thinking is valued, talk about thinking is part of every subject and every lesson. There is no, "Okay, now we'll do our thinking lesson." Instead there is, "Now we're going to think scientifically," and "Now we're going to think like authors."

We all know what anger is and we have all felt it at some time or other - whether it was a fleeting annoyance or full fledged rage. Anger is a completely normal, healthy human emotion. Anger is not good or bad - even though what we do with our anger can be. Anger is, however, a painful emotion and one of the most difficult emotions to control and use wisely. Expressing anger in an emotionally healthy assertive manner is the best way to deal with it. The problem is most of us have not been taught healthy ways to do just that. Our goal is to help you understand your anger, what triggers in within you, and to help you change the patterns from which anger springs.

ARCADIA - Horse owner and entrepreneur Mark Verge hates to see Clocker's Corner at Santa Anita Park nearly empty in the morning.
The racetrack's new CEO says his goal is to expand its fan base partly by reaching out to the local Asian community and to locals that grew up attending the track during the sport's heyday.
"Have you been out here in the mornings? Is this phenomenal? It's freaking empty." Verge, 44, said recently. "How this place isn't packed every morning is beyond me ... People on the west side that see this are flipping out. We have it. If you can bring them to other places, we can get them here."
Today markes the 75th Annual Santa Anita Derby, a $750,000 race featuring California's top 3-year-old thoroughbreds. Verge hopes to capitalize on the energy on a day like this and have it carry over throughout the season.
While Santa Anita Park President George Haines is still running the day-to-day operations, Verge said he will focus on bringing more people in, including celebrities such as actor Vince Vaughn, to the historic track.
Verge, who lives in Pacific Palisades, said he has already brought in Los Angeles nightlife impresario Cedd Moses to help them make their bar drinks "fantastic."
Verge "has great energy and his knowledge of the Los Angeles business and entertainment scene is a great asset in attracting new people to one (of) sports' most iconic venues," Haines said in an email.
Verge said he has two Chinese assistants that are helping him connect with the area's large Asian community. A group of about 350 Chinese speakers were at the track one recent Sunday receiving a tour and gambling, he said.
"A lot of times with the Asian market, they don't feel included because there are not Chinese trainers or programs in Chinese," he said. "We're carving off a little area for Chinese (speaking) people to come in so they feel comfortable here."
Councilman Bob Harbicht said he is pleased to hear of Verge's ideas since the racetrack's older fan base has been dying out. To not attract the growing Asian community in the San Gabriel Valley would be "suicide," he said.
But Verge has stepped in at a challenging time for Santa Anita Park and the horse racing industry in general.
The racetrack's former owner filed for bankruptcy in 2009. Santa Anita Park was passed over as the 2011 Breeders' Cup host site following a lack of an agreement between the track and the Oak Tree Racing Association on a lease to host the charitable association's traditional fall meet.
The track merged several departments last year and reduced its workforce as part of a major reorganization that affected more than 100 full-time and seasonal positions.
Last month, HBO cancelled its Luck series - which was used heavily to promote the winter/spring meet - starring Oscar-winner Dustin Hoffman after a third thoroughbred died during production of the drama.
"They've had an unfortunate series of circumstances over the last several years and Luck was a big part of them coming out of that," said Scott Hettrick, executive director of the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce. "It was a real bright spot - not only for profile and prestige of the track - it just had everyone feeling good about themselves again."
After battling declining attendance for years, on-track attendance for the winter/spring meet is up 3 percent this year and total betting handle is up $33 million dollars or 7 percent, Haines said.
While on-track betting handle has been even, out-of-state handle is up 3 percent, Haines said.
Haines attributes the increases to "relatively good weather" and an abundance of Pick 6 carryover bets that have sparked nationwide interest.
Jockey agent Ronnie Ebanks, aka Loveman, said he thinks Verge could be just the guy to attract younger fans to the sport.
"He's got so many people around him that are motivated by him," he said. He's "like a chief that rally the tribe."
Veteran trainer Melvin Stute, 84, was hopeful that Verge would have the know-how to resurrect a dying industry.
"The Dodgers, they got Magic Johnson," he said. "I hope this boy can do something for us because our business is ... slowly but surely going down."

Rick Owens Spring 2012
While the recent Musée Bourdelle exhibit dedicated to the work of Madame Grès has been the exhibition designers flocked to (or wished they had) the spring collection that Rick Owens presented today suggests that a latter-day Grès is alive and well and working magic in Paris. Don't get me wrong—that's not some comparison of an overriding stylistic similarities, or that Owens is in the remote bit interested in being seen playing some clichéd role of old-school couturier. Owens is his own man, and a man of his times; it's not likely Grès ever had a life-size statue of herself stark naked, or, not that we know of, a bare-chested doll in her likeness, but then who can really say? What is entirely evident and clear, however, is that Owens, like Grès, possesses a breathtaking ability to drape and fold and tease magical volumes out of a flat plane of fabric.
This talent was presented to quite dramatic display at his show in a sports stadium in a far-flung corner of Paris called Bercy, where the basis of his new silhouette rests on a very long and very tapered skirt Owens calls "the pillar." It's a piece that creates a stark contrast to whatever shape he lays over it. That could mean zipper-front jackets that were boxy and square or longer and ovoid, cut from papery black or parchment leather. Some were collarless, while others had a neckline that climbed towards the face, creating a sculptural sense of form. There were, in fact, many brilliant jackets, in black, or ivory, or terracotta, many with Empire-line leather drawstrings that only etiolated the body more. The line was further exaggerated by the shaping of the sleeves, which might stay, in that usual Owens way, as tight as a tourniquet in leather or ribbed silk, or blow out from the elbows in rigorously controlled plays of shape that had the sleeves billow out from the elbow, or lie in almost Asiatic, flattened two-dimensional panels. Some of these were familiar Owens-isms, but that didn't diminish the pleasure to be had from looking at them as they were cast in a new and unexpected light.
It's the level of control, and restraint, and the serious intent with which Owens did everything here that made this collection quite so powerful—and powerfully beautiful. The desire to articulate a new form of elegance with, for instance, the less severe of his new skirt shapes, which he allowed to sigh and fold and sigh to the floor, creating a look that was utterly sensual yet totally covered up, a look amplified by the fragile/strong appearance of his girls, whose hair caught the season's dramatically swept back look without being remotely historicist, the deep orangey-pink lip a sole concession to glamour on a face denuded of any other color.
On a visit to Owens's Left Bank atelier to preview this collection, he mentioned that he wanted it to be about nothing more than grace—not aggressive, or arch, or trying to be about anything more than an image of tranquil repose. It worked, and it makes the tired old prefix of "goth" to Owens's name that gets dragged out every now and again feel like it should be consigned to history tout suite.

Ted Nugent: Tell Your Elected Officials To Arrest Eric Holder And Hillary Clinton
Blog ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
Washington Times columnist and National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent is urging people to demand that Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton be arrested over, respectively, Fast and Furious and Benghazi. Nugent also said that Holder, Clinton, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden "are the enemy of the state."
Listen to Nugent's comments from the January 14 edition of KFYI's The Mike Broomhead Show:
NUGENT: We need to turn up the heat and tell our elected officials we want Eric Holder arrested. We want him brought to trial for Fast and Furious. We want Hillary Clinton arrested for defying, denying American citizens the proper and adequate security as the anniversary of 9/11 approaches. We want these people held accountable. We want to know where Barack Obama got the authority to spend like a drunken maniac and blowtorch all these tax dollars following the Cloward-Piven and Saul Alinsky playbook to destroy the last, best quality of life in the world and it's called the United States of America. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Eric Holder are the enemy of the state.
During the interview, Nugent urged listeners to participate in Gun Appreciation Day and to join the NRA because "that is the most powerful and effective statement that we the people can make to this power abusing, corrupt Barack Obama gang out there."
As Media Matters has documented, Nugent has a long history of incendiary remarks about a variety of subjects. Nugent has frequently smeared Hillary Clinton, calling her a "worthless bitch," a "toxic cunt" and a "two-bit whore for Fidel Castro."

With Harvin Traded, What's Next for the Vikings?
By: Aj Mansour | KFAN.com
Minneapolis, MN - With a month's worth of speculation behind us, today we got the confirmation. The Minnesota Vikings have indeed traded wide receiver Percy Harvin to the Seattle Seahawks. Rumors have been flying around hoping that something would have hit the wall and stuck, but instead, Rick Spielman and the Vikings created a market for their troubled superstar, held the cards close to their vest and pulled the trigger when the time was right.
There was a lot that led up to this deal, a lot that went into developing it and a lot that is before the Vikings now that it's been done. Take a few minutes with me to assess what exactly went down today.
The Nuts and Bolts:
Wide receiver Percy Harvin, 24, has been traded to the Seattle Seahawks. While an official announcement has yet to be released, here is what has been speculated.
In return for Harvin, the Vikings will receive Seattle's 1st (25th overall) and 7th round selections in the 2013 NFL Draft as well as a "mid round" selection (likely a 4th or 5th round choice) in the 2014 NFL Draft. Pretty good value for a player who, at times, was a very public malcontent for the Vikings.
Putting this all in context, the last three big-name receivers to be traded for draft picks in the NFL have been Brandon Marshall (2012), Santonio Holmes (2010) and Anquan Boldin (2010). In all three situations, the trading team received less than the rumored 1st, 7th and mid-round selections that the Vikings got from Seattle. For Marshall, Chicago sent two third-round selections to Miami. For Holmes, the Jets shipped off a fifth round pick. And for Boldin, the Cardinals got a third and a fourth from Baltimore.
Still, Rick Spielman and the Vikings were able to drum up enough interest for Harvin to force the Seahawks to act fast and ship off a pretty good haul to Minnesota in return.
Harvin will rejoin former teammates Sidney Rice and Heath Farwell in Seattle as well as former Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. Bevell was a member of the Minnesota Vikings staff who opted to take a chance on Harvin at the 22nd overall selection in the 2009 Draft.
As of Monday afternoon, Harvin was on his way to Seattle for a physical. From there, it is believed that the deal remains contingent on the possibility of the Seahawks and Harvin's ability to negotiate a new contract. It should be noted that Harvin will be seeking Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald money.
The Tipping Point:
It's become more and more clear that there was some back story as to why the Vikings felt the need to trade their superstar wide receiver in the middle of his prime.
During the 2012 offseason programs in Minnesota, Harvin exploded out of the blue and asked to be traded. Cooler minds prevailed and Harvin, who is still playing on his rookie contract, assured fans that money was not the root of his problem. Later on during the regular season, Harvin was seen screaming at the Vikings head coach on the sideline of the Vikings' week 9 game in, of all places, Seattle.
Low and behold, that unfortunate incident will be the last time that Percy Harvin will ever be seen wearing the Minnesota Vikings purple #12 jersey.
Harvin hobbled through the locker room for the next few weeks as rumors of confrontations behind the scenes continued to surface until Harvin was ultimately placed on the injured reserve list and took off for his home in Florida. Given the way that the season ended for the Vikings, many claimed that the Vikings decision to end Harvin's season was premature and thoughts began to form about what was really going on at Winter Park.
With hindsight being 20/20, it was pretty fishy that Percy disappeared while his teammates went on a run into the playoffs. Today's news may have intimated that there was much more going on behind the scenes than we may ever know but we will always look back to that November 4th game when the ice broke in a very public way between Harvin and the Vikings.
The Developing Market:
As recently as two weeks ago, we were hearing that Percy Harvin (the malcontent) may not even draw as much as a 2nd round draft choice. At the same time, Rick Spielman was busy telling Paul Allen and KFAN that the Vikings had "no intent" to trade Percy Harvin. Well, Rick's meetings at the combine must have gone pretty well as the market for Harvin jumped up from one 2nd round pick to three total picks including a 1st round selection this season.
While Spielman is not devoid of a few bad decisions during his time with the Vikings, lately he has been hitting it out of the park. Looking back to the 2012 Draft where he duped the Browns into a draft day trade that eventually landed the Vikings S Harrison Smith and the rest of an amazing draft class that had a big impact on the team's 2012 success, Spielman has been doing alright since becoming the team's full-time GM.
With free agency around the corner and the draft soon to follow, the time for Spielman to act was now.
The Timing:
The timing of this deal was very important to the Minnesota Vikings who, like the rest of the league, are preparing for the Free Agency period to kick off Tuesday afternoon at 3pm. The Vikings have long been rumored to be good suitors for free agent wide receiver Greg Jennings who appears to be on his way out of Green Bay, and recently the Vikings have also reportedly jumped into the conversations for Mike Wallace. Trading Harvin to Seattle opens up a few million in cap space and also frees up the future commitments owed to players. Both of which allow them to potentially make a splash in this year's free agent market.
The Vikings will head into free agency with approximately $17 million in cap space.
The trade also gives the Vikings 11 picks in the upcoming NFL Draft including the 23rd and 25th overall selections. Those two selection put them right in the neighborhood of Tavon Austin (WR, West Virginia) and/or Keenan Allen (WR, California). The Vikings could also package the 23rd and 25th together or with the 52nd and move up to snag the #1 WR in this year's draft, Cordarrelle Patterson (WR, Tennessee).
All in all, the Vikings have multiple holes to fill so it may be best that they retain the 23rd and 25th and go WR/LB with those two picks.
At the end of the day, the Minnesota Vikings just sent one of the league's most dynamic players off to the Pacific West Coast. Their return was not bad, but the thought of shipping out a proven commodity doesn't usually sit well. That being said, none of us know exactly what was happening behind the scenes. The writing was on the wall and it appears as if there was no feasible way that the Vikings would have been able to keep Percy Harvin in Purple.
Spielman did what he had to do and now it's time for him to improve his free agency track record and continue to impress in the draft. This deal gives him the pieces that he needs to accomplish both.

It's not hard to picture what Steve Meltzer must have been like as a little boy. The puppeteer, who mans the box office before jumping onstage to work the puppets for Puppetolio! every weekend, has a big, goofy grin and exudes the energy of an 8-year-old inviting you to play in his room. Puppetolio! is delightfully old-fashioned, a low-tech puppet show with Meltzer's zany cast of stringed characters and really corny jokes that add up to the equivalent of being tickled for an hour.
"I wanted to do what I am now doing when I was 4," Meltzer says. "Paul Winchell was a huge TV star back then, and my idol. I knew his partner, Jerry Mahoney, was not a living person, but Paul acted as though he was, and he made me believe it. The reason I do this is for the sheer joy that I have with the audience as we laugh ... and sing ... and believe together."
In an age where family entertainment has gone through the technology stratosphere, Meltzer's show might be a throwback, but the kids in the audience laugh like little loons. "I love all the modern technologies, but my experience has taught me that humans haven't really changed all that much. We still love to gather together and find the common joy of any kind of fantasy or illusion. In this tech-saturated time, I wish the purveyors of pop culture would realize that 'low-tech' can actually be a selling point."
This month, Meltzer will present the first-ever Santa Monica Puppetry Festival, which will conclude with an appearance by Leslie Caron, who earned a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her portrayal of a poor French orphan in the heart-wrenching 1953 movie Lili, in which a lovelorn puppeteer and his puppets play a major role. Meltzer is currently searching for Carrot Top, the cute little boy hand puppet who sang "Hi Lili, Hi Lo" in the movie. Carrot Top was last seen at an MGM props auction in 1971. Meltzer would love to hear from anyone who might know Carrot Top's whereabouts.—Libby Molyneaux
Comic book geek or hip alt-comedy scenesters? The line is pretty blurred on the fourth Friday of the month at Meltdown Comics. That's when the back room stays open after hours for a nonglamorous, harshly lit evening of standup comedy. The show is free, as is the plentiful Asahi beer, which is notable not only because the talent lineup is cover-charge/drink-minimum-worthy, but also because the show takes places only blocks from the Laugh Factory and Comedy Store, where parking costs almost as much as half a tank of gas. There's no valet for Comedy Meltdown, and you should arrive early to fight for a space, but you can peruse Alison Bechdel's latest graphic novel while you wait. You'll be rewarded with intimate performances by such established comics as Craig Anton, Blaine Capatch, Jackie Kashian, Morgan Murphy, Howard Kremer, Duncan Trussell, Melinda Hill and Maria Bamford. The show's put on by Linda Pine, who longs to book Eddie Izzard, Louis C. K., Emo Philips and Tom Kenny. Says comic Melinda Hill, a Meltdown regular, "I love performing at Meltdown because Linda packs the room with comedy fans equipped with all the free beer they can handle, sells your merch online for you, and hands you a scarf she knitted herself. It's like doing a comedy show run by your grandma, if your grandma was a comedy-loving hipster with a cute haircut."—Libby Molyneaux
It buggers the imagination that any sane person would consider running a record label in this chaotic environment. Why not play it safe and open a sub-prime brokerage, instead? In this landscape, a hearty huzzah to those who channel their musical passion into pumping the sounds of others. Labelwise, Los Angeles 2008 is a hearty place: Everloving Records outta Los Feliz has been globetrotting this year, putting out thrilling music by Germans, French, Japanese and Angelenos (the labyrinthine An Invitation collaboration between Inara George and Van Dyke Parks); PPF has tossed out sloppy dirgy smellpunk; Vanguard set the standard for songcraft (the Watson Twins, Greg Laswell); Plug Research, Dangerbird, Hellicopter, Ipecac, Aquarium Drunkard, anticon, Dim Mak and IHEARTCOMIX — all release music that's consistently inspiring.
But for sheer good taste and hometown pride, the best L.A. label these days is Stones Throw Records, founded by L.A.'s best DJ, Peanut Butter Wolf. The label has fueled our stereos with smart, deep, rich beat-based music from a variety of artists this year. They dug into the crates to celebrate the 1980s sounds of electro-rap pioneer (and former N.W.A DJ) Arabian Prince; threw us a curveball with the odd, ethereal Koushik record — which created a new subgenre: nitrous rap. And where the hell did that James Pants record come from? Who knew Stones Throw dug fucked-up postdisco? Need more proof? The Madvillain Box, which came out a few weeks ago, is a beautiful limited-edition set from L.A. beat genius Madlib (a.k.a. Beat Konducta, a.k.a. Madvillain, a.k.a. Quasitmoto). The label's propping legendary filmmaker and badass Melvin van Peebles by hooking him up with Heliocentrics, and has been instrumental in sealing the late hip-hop producer J Dilla's legacy. To say nothing about Stones Throw's regular podcasts, which could probably be sold as mixtapes; or PBW's eight-night VJing spin in August. Combined, a record label of the perfect sort: one that follows its heart and gut, trusting that good taste and bottom line aren't mutually exclusive ideals.—Randall Roberts
"You are the entertainment capital of the world," says Ray Courts with a slow and polite Southern drawl from his home in Spring Hill, Florida. "We thought there were other people besides us who come to Hollywood and would like to meet some of your favorite celebrity guests. OK, I grant you that we don't have your Tom Cruises or Kevin Costners or your Will Smiths, but dog gone it, ma'am, there are so many of them I'm looking forward to meeting that I just watched on TV and the silver screen."
Thanks to Courts and his wife, Sharan, meeting celebrities other than Tom Cruise or Kevin Costner or Will Smith is as easy as showing up at the Burbank Airport Marriott for the Hollywood Collectors & Celebrities Show. Sure, they're mostly stars from TV and film's bygone era. But for pre-eBay baby boomers who fondly remember their idols as a fraternity of actors and not the paparazzi bait and tabloid headlines of today, these shows are the equivalent of Grauman's Chinese come to life.
Originally from West Virginia, the couple began as collectors and dealers who were inspired to start their own show after frequenting early movie memorabilia gatherings that didn't allow celebrities to attend. For 13 years, the Courtses initially operated out of North Hollywood's Beverly Garland Holiday Inn, fittingly owned by Garland, who starred in My Three Sons. Once the show took off, it was the celebs who approached the husband-and-wife team. And to date, they've wrangled thousands of major and minor stars, retired actors, bit players, Western heroes and the voices behind some of Disney's early animations (Adriana Caselotti, the original Snow White, used to appear in character), all of whom are more than eager to pose for pictures, talk to fans and autograph photos for $15 or $20.
Charlton Heston, Mickey Rooney, Tony Curtis, Ernest Borgnine, Angie Dickinson, Barbara Eden and Adam West have all had fans lining up for their John Hancocks. And who wouldn't want to meet Jeannie or the original Batman? Or if it's current celebrities you're hounding, Val Kilmer not only attended in 2003, but signed guitars, while Hilary Duff appeared on behalf of a children's charity back when she was still a teen Disney star.
They also stage mini cast reunions from various films and TV shows, from Westside Story and Star Wars to Little House on the Prairie, The Partridge Family, Welcome Back, Kotter and even The Three Stooges. And dealers from as far as Argentina come to sell more photographs, posters, scripts, lobby cards, movie props and costumes, some dating back to silent films, ranging from a few bucks to upwards of $20,000.
"Even now I collect autographs," says Courts. "Holy smokes, you oughta see our family room. It is wall to wall of our heroes and heroines." Courts' first piece of memorabilia was a knife used by Gordon Scott, who played Tarzan in the '50s, while some of his other prized possessions include studio chairs from The Andy Griffith Show, starring Courts' favorite comedian, the late Don Knotts.
"For us, it is still a thrill," says Courts. "We got the legendary Jane Russell coming to our show. Wow! Howard Hughes discovered this young lady!" Did he say "young"?—Siran Babayan
Like a little razzle-dazzle when you're getting smashed in the face? At UpHigh/DownLow, the Silver Lake chapter of LADS (Los Angeles Dodgeball Society), you're sure to get a glimpse of sparkly purple tights, perhaps under a gorilla suit, right before a big red ball knocks you into next Tuesday. Although, says UH/DL founder Matty Pipes, those moon boots are just for showboaters. "The flashier people are just there for distraction and usually can't throw for crap," Pipes says. "It's the people with the plain tees waiting in the wings that you need to watch out for." Pipes, who also captains team Bandana Rama, says the Silver Lake division has gotten so much response that he actually has to audition people before they're assigned to a team. "It's $50 to join, but, unlike the other LADS leagues, you must be approved by a captain and me. We have to turn away a lot of people." The chapter's roster of teams features such motley crews as WW4, FAGS (Fun Active Gentlemen's Society), Prom Night Dumpster Babies, etc. But don't be fooled by the silly monikers; the competition gets pretty fierce, especially toward the end of the season. Sometimes the action spills into the stands and spectators are forced to dodge left and right, occasionally futilely, to avoid the ferocious flying bombardment. At the end of the game, though, UpHigh/DownLow is all about the "high-five mentality," Pipes insists. "It's also great to have a place to meet people where you don't feel like you have to be wasted. A lot of people thank us for that the most."—Rena Kosnett
Gyms in L.A. are always coming up with one new class or another — cardio boot camp, supercharged spinning, power yoga — so it was only a matter of time before the dodge-ball craze found its way to Crunch on Sunset Boulevard, which has been hosting exciting dodge-ball games (or classes) for the past year. Started last summer as a seasonal offering, dodge ball, which is "taught" by instructor and actor-dancer Dollar Tan, has become a year-round class that attracts men and women who like to compete and get a great workout in the process. A regular crowd often shows up to throw, dodge and catch the red rubber balls, but new players are always welcome.—Patrick Range McDonald

Even in the best architectural partnerships, fissures can develop when disagreements arise. "That can be stressful," says Julie Dowling, AIA. "In our case it's not."
There are plenty of identical twins in the world who are, perhaps, less identical in their outlook. But Julie and her partner, Leslie Dowling, AIA, are identical twins who share an uncanny synchronicity. They often find themselves on the same page, and, more often than not, on the same paragraph. "We're always moving in the same direction and very open to the other's point of view," says Julie.
After working separately for 12 years, the twins united in 2010 to create Dowling Studios, a bicoastal practice that, at the moment, is doing a lot of West Coast work. The partnership is based in a San Francisco Victorian where Julie works out of ground-floor offices she shares with her husband, an art dealer. Leslie, on the other hand, works out of a home office in Princeton, N.J.
Digital design and files help shorten the 2,911 miles that separate them. "Sometimes it feels as if we are sitting next to each other," says Julie. Typically, they divvy up their work in an "I'll-do-the-floor-plan-and-you-do-the-ceiling-plan" fashion. Because of their synchronicity, "Leslie often ends up designing something very close to what I would have done," Julie explains. Plus, "we act as each other's second eye."
That has something to do with their shared professional background, too. Natives of Atlantic Beach, Fla., they graduated from the University of Florida with undergraduate degrees in architecture and went on to earn graduate degrees in architecture from Princeton. Both interned for Michael Graves, FAIA, their professor at Princeton, and immediately after graduation for Juan Navarro Baldeweg's Madrid office. Then Julie returned to Graves' office before she headed out west, to San Francisco, in 1998. Leslie stayed with Baldeweg for another two years and served on the design team for Princeton's School of Music—a coup for someone right out of grad school. She also went back to Graves, in Princeton, helping to design the products in his first rollout for Target, and then in his New York architectural office.
In San Francisco, Julie was a store designer for Banana Republic, and later partnered with architect Lorissa Kimm to create Dowling Kimm Studios. The firm garnered lots of attention for its residential work, but after collaborating for a decade, the partners amicably separated.
Once solo, Julie found herself increasingly relying on her sister. By this time both had families, and Leslie had segued into part-time work, mostly designing eateries for her restaurateur husband. Working with her sister had tremendous appeal. "The whole backbone of my training up until that point had been custom residential," explains Leslie.
Designing for exurban settings like Tahoe and upscale suburban locales in California's Marin County allowed the sisters to "develop the language and identity of our work because we can design these houses from scratch," says Julie. That "language and identity" is a minimalist Modernism they describe as "warm" and site-specific, often incorporating elements of the outdoors into the interiors.
As a result of past projects, the sisters are licensed in multiple states, which they hope will make them more marketable. Julie's licensed in New Jersey, Wyoming, and California; Leslie in New Jersey and New York.
So far, the Dowlings have completed three residences in California, including the first LEED Platinum house in Sonoma County. Among the six projects on the boards are a modern urban residence, ski house, and minimalist addition to a barn at Bella Vineyards in Healdsburg, Calif. "We have been so busy with those projects—one leading to the next—that we haven't had time to pursue work elsewhere," says Leslie. "But it is our goal to get more work on the East Coast."
As successful as they are at working together, the twins nevertheless have hit a few snags. First was managing the time difference. "If I wanted her to see something the next morning, I had to be sure to send it out the night before," Julie explains.
The other difficulty concerned one that's typical of twins: having too much in common. Discussions about permits and floor plans often were laced with updates on children, husbands, and parents. So they implemented a rule: On weekdays they are architectural partners, but on weeknights and weekends the sisters can just be sisters.

Chicks Before Dicks
In high school (and in life) people learn that they have to have priorities. Do grades come before sports? Do friends come before family? Does my boyfriend come before everyone/everything else? After a year and a half of high school (only two and a half left – yippie!) I feel that I have a pretty good sense of how high school relationships function. Many of my friends, teammate and classmates have had boyfriends or girlfriends and so have I and what has become very obvious is that people more often than not choose their boyfriend/girlfriend over their friends, which I think is really damaging.
It's not secret that teenagers' hormones are raging all the time. Walking into a high school …

French bread spiked with LSD in CIA experiment
A 50-year mystery over the 'cursed bread' of Pont-Saint-Esprit, which left residents suffering hallucinations, has been solved after a writer discovered the US had spiked the bread with LSD as part of an experiment.
Henry Samuel in Paris
In 1951, a quiet, picturesque village in southern France was suddenly and mysteriously struck down with mass insanity and hallucinations. At least five people died, dozens were interned in asylums and hundreds afflicted.
For decades it was assumed that the local bread had been unwittingly poisoned with a psychedelic mould. Now, however, an American investigative journalist has uncovered evidence suggesting the CIA peppered local food with the hallucinogenic drug LSD as part of a mind control experiment at the height of the Cold War.
The mystery of Le Pain Maudit (Cursed Bread) still haunts the inhabitants of Pont-Saint-Esprit, in the Gard, southeast France.
On August 16, 1951, the inhabitants were suddenly racked with frightful hallucinations of terrifying beasts and fire.
One man tried to drown himself, screaming that his belly was being eaten by snakes. An 11-year-old tried to strangle his grandmother. Another man shouted: "I am a plane", before jumping out of a second-floor window, breaking his legs. He then got up and carried on for 50 yards. Another saw his heart escaping through his feet and begged a doctor to put it back. Many were taken to the local asylum in strait jackets.
Time magazine wrote at the time: "Among the stricken, delirium rose: patients thrashed wildly on their beds, screaming that red flowers were blossoming from their bodies, that their heads had turned to molten lead."
Eventually, it was determined that the best-known local baker had unwittingly contaminated his flour with ergot, a hallucinogenic mould that infects rye grain. Another theory was the bread had been poisoned with organic mercury.
However, H P Albarelli Jr., an investigative journalist, claims the outbreak resulted from a covert experiment directed by the CIA and the US Army's top-secret Special Operations Division (SOD) at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
The scientists who produced both alternative explanations, he writes, worked for the Swiss-based Sandoz Pharmaceutical Company, which was then secretly supplying both the Army and CIA with LSD.
Mr Albarelli came across CIA documents while investigating the suspicious suicide of Frank Olson, a biochemist working for the SOD who fell from a 13th floor window two years after the Cursed Bread incident. One note transcribes a conversation between a CIA agent and a Sandoz official who mentions the "secret of Pont-Saint-Esprit" and explains that it was not "at all" caused by mould but by diethylamide, the D in LSD.
While compiling his book, A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA's Secret Cold War Experiments, Mr Albarelli spoke to former colleagues of Mr Olson, two of whom told him that the Pont-Saint-Esprit incident was part of a mind control experiment run by the CIA and US army.
After the Korean War the Americans launched a vast research programme into the mental manipulation of prisoners and enemy troops.
Scientists at Fort Detrick told him that agents had sprayed LSD into the air and also contaminated "local foot products".
Mr Albarelli said the real "smoking gun" was a White House document sent to members of the Rockefeller Commission formed in 1975 to investigate CIA abuses. It contained the names of a number of French nationals who had been secretly employed by the CIA and made direct reference to the "Pont St. Esprit incident." In its quest to research LSD as an offensive weapon, Mr Albarelli claims, the US army also drugged over 5,700 unwitting American servicemen between 1953 and 1965.
None of his sources would indicate whether the French secret services were aware of the alleged operation. According to US news reports, French intelligence chiefs have demanded the CIA explain itself following the book's revelations. French intelligence officially denies this.
Locals in Pont-Saint-Esprit still want to know why they were hit by such apocalyptic scenes. "At the time people brought up the theory of an experiment aimed at controlling a popular revolt," said Charles Granjoh, 71.
"I almost kicked the bucket," he told the weekly French magazine Les Inrockuptibles. "I'd like to know why."

It's Official: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' Divorce Has Been Finalized
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are now officially divorced. Bring on the divorce party?
-Lucia Peters
Well, Bettys, the era of TomKat is well and truly over: According to E! Online, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are officially divorced. The case was closed on Monday after a New York judge signed off on the final judgment—just about a month and a half after they first announced that they were splitting up. How's that for a speedy finish?
In fact, I would go so far as to say that it's even more impressive than Katy Perry's and Russell Brand's quick-and-clean divorce, mostly because of Suri. Things can get pretty messy when a child is involved, but notably, Katie and Tom went into talks immediately after announcing the split; they worked out a settlement in record time, and though the details of the settlement remain confidential, we do know that a) Katie will be Suri's primary caregiver, and b) Tom has generous visitation rights.
Read Remembering Phyllis Diller: 12 of the Comedienne's Best Quotes
So that's that, then! A source revealed to E! Online that Tom is "very happy and relieved that he is moving forward." Furthermore, "his priority is being a good father and this settlement will make sure that continues." Katie, meanwhile, has been prepping for a return to Broadway, working on an indie film about a single mother, and teaching Suri how to ride a bike. What we really want to know, though, is whether she'll be throwing herself a divorce party anytime in the near future.
In any event, though, best of luck to all members of the family as they go about their lives.

Jessica - from Ottawa, Ontario
Follow the recipe instructions as to which flour you should use – the other ingredients in the recipe, as well as the amounts of these ingredients, work well with that flour. All-purpose flour is a mixture of hard and soft-wheat flours blended to be work in almost any type of recipe with many differing ingredients. It works well in breads, cookies, cakes and pie crusts. Cake flour is the most highly refined flour, and made with soft wheat. Baking powder tends to dry and coarsen a cake, which doesn't matter in spicy or richer cakes, but it does in delicate textured cakes and cake flour compensates for this effect nicely.

The Three Faces of Fedora 11: Epilogue
During the course of the week, I had been asked the following question in various forms (the "forms" being a mangling of the desktop's initials): "What about LXDE? Are you going to discuss the 'fourth face' of the Three Faces of Fedora 11?"
Well, the answer is: Not right away. Though very appealing and a desktop that has piqued my curiosity, LXDE was not part of the Fedora 11 constellation this time around (key words here: "this time around") — neither was it an offering on the regular distro nor was it a "spin" (the spin list is here). However, I have the instructions on how to get going with LXDE, and I promise to take it for a test spin in the next couple of weeks.
Watch this space.
As for the "three faces" blog series, it's always a joy to do blogs like this because a.) I get to play with software I normally wouldn't fiddle with, and b.) I get to find out a lot of stuff that I didn't know in the first place (look up "lifelong learning" in the dictionary and you'll see my picture).
For those of you who are curious, and even if you aren't, I think I'm going to break ranks with my GNOME roots and primarily use KDE on Fedora 11.

Your Ad Here, $19.95 a week. Selling out to KDE? Feh. Ah well, it's a far step upwards from windows at least…

Just a Thought -- Monster Mash
It all started with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Suddenly zombies, werewolves, vampires, and beasts of all descriptions were invading our classic literature! These mash-ups, as they're termed, take many forms. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies simply wove zombies into Jane Austen's original text, with hilarious and oddly seamless results. Other mash-ups include a higher percentage of newly-created text. Still others, for a twist on the genre, take a real historical figure and add creatures to his or her real history. Whichever type, the books are fascinating in their way, often funny, and always engaging.

Here at the News-Journal, we're gearing up for the fifth year of our Teen Editorial Board.
And we're excited.
The staff at our office is a little too far removed from their teenage years to be trying to tell our readers what's going on in the world of teens. Because of that, we decided a few years ago to let the younger generation tell about their world in their own words.
It's been just about a year since I left my parents' house and dove head first into homeownership.
If the past year has taught me anything, it's that you can never have enough money and there will always be something that needs fixing.
I've learned how to use a drill (and the strange looking accessories that go with that drill), that watering plants every day may not be good for them and that sump pumps aren't fun when they aren't working correctly.
The Olympics are coming! The Olympics are coming!
Actually, they've already arrived and the world has taken notice. For the 29th games, the Olympics are taking place in Beijing, China. The city is 12 hours ahead of Bardstown so most of what we see will have already taken place. But the excitement is still there, regardless of the time difference.
I feel like I'm losing a daughter, and she hasn't even left yet. And the worst part is that she's not even my daughter.
Marybeth moved in with our family in June. And she's leaving tomorrow. We're going to miss her so much.
While she has sometimes called me "Mom" and we've all treated her like one of the family, she actually belongs to some friends in Illinois. A student at Southern Illinois University, Marybeth was only "on loan" for the summer.
And summer is over.
I'll admit, I was a little worried. The cell phone call came at 4:30 Friday afternoon. A robotic voice told me of a problem with my Taylor County Bank card and that I should call back to sort out the problem.
I didn't think much about that first call. After all, I don't have a Taylor County Bank card. Still, stories of identity theft began circling around my brain. The thought of someone taking advantage of my limited financial resources for their own gain has been a long held fear of mine.
Do you have a computer and Internet access?
It seems that most people these days do, but, believe it or not, there are still a good many people out in this world who do not, and I think some of our government agencies are forgetting that.
Have you ever wished you could turn back time and do something over again? And do it differently?
When we received a press release recently about World Breastfeeding Month in August, I immediately thought about my children. I breastfed all three of my children, though I stopped nursing my eldest son after about three months, about the time I went back to work. I didn't know how to work and breastfeed at the same time.
Those of you who know me know that I'm a very proud Georgian and that I like to say that I'm southern by birth and bulldog by God's grace.
However, I must confess that I have come to love the Bluegrass state. Though I will never root for a blue nation sports team, I nonetheless find the state and people to be quite pleasant and enjoyable.
My wife and I have lived in Campbellsville for about six years in two different stints and we love the community. Taylor Countians, for the most part, are good, God-fearing, generous and friendly people.
Big, bold letters stated, "Lord help me this day to keep my big mouth shut." A family member had given a T-shirt printed with those words to my favorite aunt in the late 1970s.
Aunt Debbie was known for speaking her opinion in those days. Today, she's still opinionated, but certainly softer spoken.
I'm guessing it would be fair to say that most of us have been guilty at some point in our lives of speaking a little too freely. I've confessed the sin of the tongue - unfortunately more than once - in the confessional booth.
Since voters approved limited sales in May, alcohol has been a steady topic of conversation. It has remained in the headlines steadily and has taken its place along the top shelf of gossip fodder.
Some say it's the economic boon we've been waiting for. Others say it's a colossal waste of time. I fall somewhere in the middle.

Hey Y'all
So I recently was able to get mobile terminal to work on my iPod touch by downloading it from the correct Cydia source (bear with me this is Backtrack related!)
and I was able to access the shell and it gives me Davids-dethpod:~ mobile$ and from there I can su to root, etc. perform many actions that would normally only be accessible by the shell. Now, I'm not sure, but I think that Apple's NIC's and the corresponding chipsets are not capable of monitor mode or packet injection, the reason I believe this is because when I type airmon-ng (I have installed the aircrack suite as well as libPcap and libgcc and APT it's available from a source through Cydia) at root it says wireless tools not found now, granted, backtrack is cool, but in part of my justification on whether or not to install backtrack to this device, I wanted to know if I could use the monitor mode dependent parts of Backtrack on that device, and if not, if there might be some way to reverse engineer an iPod interface cable to have a FEMALE usb connection on the other end instead of the male connector, and then use a wireless usb network adaptor to take care of the RFMON and injection stuff, a bit of a longshot, but it would be very cool nonetheless, I am asking for ideas here, there seems to be a lack of explicit technical data on the idevices internal workings other than just 802.11 b/g/n capable @ 2.4 Ghz. Thank you for your input!
