Hello Kitty Birthday Gift Diamonds
There is nothing worse than when a Hello Kitty fanatic is about to have a birthday. That's because the fanatic is expecting a gift, and the expectation is that you will get her a gift covered with images of the evil feline all over it. It's really a no-win situation in every respect. If you buy what she wants, then you drive yourself further into the depths of Hello Kitty Hell. If you don't buy what she wants, then you will suffer the consequences of hearing daily for the entirety of 2015 about how much happier she would have been if you would have just bought her that Hello Kitty diamond ring she wanted…
Hello Kitty Men Project
So, my worst nightmares are coming true in far too many ways (more on that in the coming days). The fact that the people at Sanrio have come to the conclusion it's time to release a dedicated Hello Kitty brand for men certainly isn't making these nightmares any less frightening. Apparently, they believe there's a body of men who still don't have a "preconceived idea" of the evil feline that associates it with little girls. They also think an image with a male model with a huge cartoon bow across his face to advertise the new brand is somehow going to appeal to someone with even a bit of sanity (granted, they are working with a customer base who will buy absolutely anything, so they really aren't used to have to actually think about what they are creating…)
I have no doubt they are simply trying to push all those poor souls who have managed to survive the hell of a friend or family member being a Hello Kitty fanatic over the edge when that fanatic decides the men in her life need to wear Hello Kitty with her. It's a win-win for Sanrio. The fanatic buys more crap while those fighting the resistance are eliminated as they realize even the most horrific death is a lot less painful than having to wear a clothes line from the cat with no mouth.
The only good news here is that the actual new brand for men won't be available until next year so we don't have to immediately suffer the consequences. The bad news is that we now have confirmation things will continue to get worse…
Hello Kitty Eminem Rap God Cat God Video
How do you know that the world is about to end? When the cat-with-no-mouth suddenly finds that she has one upon deciding that it's a good idea to take Eminem's song Rap God and do her Cat God interpretation. No, I'm not making any of that up — and you would be wise to trust me on that and just walk away from your computer screen because if you choose to watch the video, it can never be unseen. There has never been any doubt that the evil feline she's herself as a God (or Jesus), and this video only proves it.
If this is the way that 2013 is ending, I don't know if I'm going to be able to survive what 2014 is sure to have in store for me…
The Hello Kitty McDonald's McArch
Well, let's certainly hope that this isn't a trend that catches on and spreads to other countries. Apparently the evil feline decided to sleep with Ronald McDonald and the result was the ugliest thing you can imagine. Yes, it appears that their night of romance (apparently Kitty chan forgot to tell Ronald to use her branded condoms — or more likely, she did and they simply failed to work) produced the Hello Kitty McArch:
I see that this link as further proof that the end is near, and when it comes, it's not going to be pretty…

Hello Kitty Butt Plugs Should Make You Cringe
When you live in the type of hell that I do, it's a major risk opening up email each morning. While I never escape completely unscathed from the torment that the evil feline throws my way, there are definitely some days that are much worse than others. Today was one of those days. That's because you absolutely know that things have gone terribly wrong in the world when you open up an email to see Hello Kitty butt plugs (clear and pink) staring back at you…
Now, I think that we can all agree that there's more than a bit of irony in the fact that the cat-with-no-mouth would feel it necessary to produce butt plugs. It also should be noted that while she doesn't seem to have one of her own (although there are those that dispute that), shoved up someone's ass is exactly where the vast majority of people in the world believe that she belongs. The fact that fanatics will gladly do this honor to themselves (while paying $80 to have the privilege) once again proves the people at Sanrio know exactly how to treat their customers…

Hello Kitty Sea Cruise
As if having airplanes covered with the cat-with-no-mouth wasn't bad enough, the shipping industry feels that they should also get into the act of torturing most of society. A company called Star Cruises has launched a Hello Kitty themed cruise on two of its ships (the SuperStar Virgo and SuperStar Libra) that will run through December 29, 2013. The excruciating painful trip will include having to spend time on the ship with Dear Daniel, My Melody and Bad Batz Maru along with the evil feline, as well as a musical show, breakfast meetings, teatime parties and story telling time. No doubt people will be vomiting long before anyone gets sea sick, and probably before the ship even leaves port…
While it's bad enough having to live with Kitty chan existing in this world, imagine the horrifying terror that would be experienced being stuck on a ship with her and her fanatic friends for an entire week? My guess is that there would be a lot of significant others jumping overboard knowing that being eaten alive by sharks would be far less painful than having to survive the entire cruise. One more thing to fear if you ever find yourself in Hello Kitty Hell…
Hello Kitty Car Engine
There are many ways to ruin a car. For fanatics of the one-with-no-mouth, this is an everyday occurrence that they seem able to accomplish without even giving it a second thought. For the true fanatic, however, simply ruining a car is far too mundane. They want to take it to a level that not only makes everyone ask "wtf? Why would anyone do that?" but also makes them cringe that something like it exists in the world.
If we are truly being honest with ourselves, I guess we should have seen this coming. With all the different cars sporting the evil feline's face these days, and the fact that she also has her own line of engine oil, is it really a surprise that there now exists a Hello Kitty engine?
We can only hope that this either blows up (as distinct possibility if they are putting the HK engine oil into it) or that someone takes pity on the world and places this vehicle into a car compactor. Until then, we have one more example of the Hello Kitty Hellish world we live in…

Hello Kitty Breast Pump
One of the most disturbing aspects of the evil feline is her insistence of being a part of every bodily function a person has. She wants to be there when you defecate in the form of what you use, what you wipe yourself with (in a a variety of patterns including KISS) and where your waste eventually ends up. Then she insists on being around when it's that time of the month and when things need to be refreshed down there (and that doesn't even address those that feel it necessary to decorate –NSFW). Of course, she also wants to be around when any type of sexual activity is taking place (flavored versions as well if that's what you're into).
So I guess it really shouldn't be a surprise that she wants to be there helping you pump your breast milk when that time arrives as well. Yes, that's right. The people at Sanrio have decided that what the world really needs is both an electric breast pump and a hand breast pump featuring the cat-with-no-mouth.
As I say time and again, it can always get worse in Hello Kitty Hell…

Hello Kitty Caterpillar
One of the disturbing tendencies of fanatics of the evil feline is that they they go around trying to see her in other things. When Jesus was found on toast, the fanatical throngs immediately felt that the one-with-no-mouth deserved to be treated with just as much adoration. Sanrio, believing their own hype (plus seeing an opportunity to make a buck), decided the only way to rectify the situation was to make a toaster so that fanatics could create Hello Kitty toast on a daily basis.
Just like Jesus on toast, fanatics are now claiming that there is a caterpillar that has been created in the image of the most despised Sanrio character of all time, and they are now referring to it as the Hello Kitty caterpillar:
I feel sorry for these caterpillars. If they thought that trying to survive in the wild from being ripped apart and swallowed alive to die in the stomach acid of such predators as birds was horrifying, they have no idea the pain they are likely to endure if they are ever captured by a fanatic. In fact, they will likely wish they had first been discovered by a bird once they find themselves in such a situation. Things will only get worse when the fanatics begin trying to staple bows on them in an attempt to make them look even more like the mouthless cat. It really is a cruel fate of nature when, just because some delusional fanatics think that you resemble a cartoon feline, you are thrust into the fiery pit of Hello Kitty Hell…

Hello Kitty Breaking Bad Cell Phone for Sale
You know that all is not right in the world when the evil feline shows up on the TV series Breaking Bad. Obviously the placement had something to do with her insecurity of anything being more popular that herself, and weaseling her way in to be a part of it. The people at Sanrio probably also felt that one of the few untapped markets that they have failed to exploit up to this point for their goods is among drug dealers and their lawyers. The result is the appearance of a Hello Kitty cell phone in the TV series:
Even worse, the phone is now being auctioned off.
This is just one more sign that things can always get worse in Hello Kitty Hell…
Hello Kitty Gravestone
One would hope that it would be possible to escape the evil feline upon death, but fanatics are doing everything within their power to guarantee that this is not the case. It's a good bet that if you live with a fanatic, you're going to end up in the ground in one of her coffins. It's an even better bet that upon that coffin you will end up with an arrangement of horrifying flowers. And of course, how could a fanatic ever resist placing a Hello kitty gravestone on top of your grave?
Just further proof that the one-with-no-mouth has the diabolical plan to not only torture you during this life, but for all of eternity…

Hello Kitty Cleavage
I apologize in advance bringing a day of my life into your world. It's never a fun process of opening my emails in the morning because I know that I will inevitably be terrified by some photo from a fanatic who somehow thinks it was a good idea to send it to me. Even worse, they can't be unseen. It's always been a bit beyond me why fanatics of the evil feline think that she's sexy and will attract men when in all reality she's an automatic repellent to anyone who has half a brain, but then we have already established that fanatics have little more than air floating around in their heads. Combine lack of brains with a twisted notion that she has sex appeal and ideas like Hello Kitty cleavage get dreamed up to terrify all of us with an ounce of common sense:
I guess there are a couple of legitimate reason that this would be beneficial. It would be a wonderful way to tackle world overpopulation since nobody in their right mind would ever want to reproduce with someone wearing this. It would also be a much more effective campaign than "abstinence only" and easily eliminate teen sex for generations. But in the end, it's simply one more thing which adds to the horrifying depths of Hello Kitty Hell…
Hello Kitty Airplane Coming to US
Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, EVA Air has announced a new jet route which will bring a newly designed Boeing 777-300ER Hello Kitty plane to the US by way of Los Angeles. the new route begins September 18, 2013. For those of you who thought that Europe has escaped this catastrophe, they may have done so only for a brief moment. The airline has expressed its desire to torture European countries with an evil feline plane in the future as well.
As if the plane itself isn't bad enough, EVA air has announced that they will be inviting a group of fanatics to fly on this maiden flight who will be able to get on-board autographs from Yuko Yamaguchi, guaranteeing that the plane will be the absolute worst place that anyone could ever imagine being. In fact, if the government was smart, they would require that any known terrorists be placed on that flight because there seriously couldn't be any worse torture dealt upon a human being (of course, this can't be done because even terrorists have some human rights).
I guess all we can do now is hope the pilot takes pity on the rest of us and wanders into no-fly-zone airspace and gets the plane shot down, but that would indicate that there is actually hope in the world dominated by the cat-with-no-mouth. Everyone, take out the barf bags because you're going to need them.
Hello Kitty Terminator Cake
Well, we all instinctively know that there is nothing close to being soft, sweet or lovable under the skin of the evil feline. So what are you to do if you are given the unfortunate task of making a cake that shows what you'll find under her matted fur? You make exactly what you imagined you'd find, and that would result in something along the lines of a Hello Kitty Terminator cake:
Of course, the scary part is that we know exactly that her goal is exactly the same as the Terminator's goal of world domination, although the mouthless wonder goes about it in a much more cruel and devastating way by inflicting far more pain and cruelty than any Terminator could ever inflict. And the worst part is that this knowledge simply confirms the horror of another average day when it comes to living in Hello Kitty Hell…

Hello Kitty Fireworks
One would assume that going to a fireworks display would be one of the few places that one would be safe from the claws of the evil feline. Of course, the assumption would be terribly and painfully incorrect. Somewhere, someone decided that creating a Hello Kitty firework would be a good idea (My personal guess is that the person thinking it was a good idea was a Sanrio employee with a one of the many guns in her arsenal pointed at the temple of some poor soul who had to decide between his life and the sanity of the world — and he chose wrong)
Yes, that still shot is a pretty demoralizing statement of where the world has come, but it's nothing compared to the terror you are going to feel upon seeing these in video:
While an explosion of hot gas that terrifies all those around does do a good job in describing the feelings the cat-with-no-mouth elicits from the vast majority of the human race, seeing it in reality is further proof that there is no escaping her no matter what the event…
Airline Boarding Pass Machines
It seems that the TSA has figured out a less expensive and 100% effective way to make the skies safe. Instead of spending hundreds of millions of dollars to screen each individual before going into the boarding area, they have figured out how to get those without any common sense to reveal themselves (probably without them even realizing it). There would really be no other logical reason for the Hello Kitty boarding pass machines (unless there is a secret campaign taking place by other forms of transportation to get people not to fly, because anyone who stumbled across these probably would feel so nauseated that they would be unable to board a plane).
It's pretty simple and ingenious if you think about it. Anyone who would willingly go up and get a boarding pass out of one of these machines would have to be insane. Even better, all these people could quickly be loaded onto an appropriate plane where if it does get blown up in the sky, nobody would really care all that much. And if you think about it, anyone that had to go to these machines to get their boarding passes probably is looking for some type of quick death because it surely would be a lot less painful than having to deal with a fanatic that thought getting these tickets would be a good idea…

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo softball team (22-32, 7-17 SSC) capped-off their 2012 regular season with a 6-1 Sunshine State Conference victory over Lynn University (2-47, 1-23 SSC), Monday afternoon from University Softball Stadium.
The victory concludes the Lions' regular season having won five of their final six games. The Lions also graduate six seniors from the current squad.
Saint Leo compiled nine hits on the afternoon, including a team-best 3-for-4 performance from senior Brittany Yates. Senior Dianne Gonzalez also went 2-for-3 with an RBI in the win.
After two scoreless frames to start the game, Yates stepped to the plate and poked an RBI triple to right field scoring Rachelle Gremo from first base.
In the fourth inning, the Lions put together a three-run frame to highlight the win. Danielle Moreda ignited the inning with an RBI double down the left field line. McKenzie Burns then capitalized on a Lynn fielding miscue which resulted in a pair of runs to make to the score 4-0.
Senior Ali Lamb punctuated the win with an RBI triple into the right field corner in the fifth inning to bring the score to its eventual final.
In the circle, junior Megan Still posted her 10th win of the season as she tossed 5.2 innings. She also registered seven strikeouts before giving way to freshman Ashley Ehlers, who closed out the victory.

From Western Montana's lofty Rocky Mountains to the great grasslands of the east, the state known as Big Sky Country lives up equally well to its other nickname, the Treasure State. Among its geographic wonders are Glacier National Park, part of Yellowstone National Park and the White Cliffs of the Missouri River — the "seens of visionary inchantment" that inspired Corps of Discovery explorer Meriwether Lewis to wax prosaic in his journal." So perfect indeed are those walls," he wrote, "I should have thought that nature had attempted here to rival the human art of masonry."
Upon the Corps' return to civilization in 1806, glowing news reports lured itchy-footed settlers to the frontier; later, gold discoveries and government land giveaways enticed more. Montana Territory — carved from Idaho Territory in 1864 — contained 20,595 residents as of 1870 (that year's census didn't count most of the state's American Indians, though). By the time Montana became the 41st US state in 1889, roughly 140,000 people lived there.

Everyone remembers where they were on Step Day—the day the plans for Stepper devices leaked onto the internet and every child who built one discovered that the Steppers allowed them to travel "sideways" to the next parallel Earth next door. The world changed forever on Step Day, as endless new frontiers opened with the flip of a switch. Joshua Valiente was only 13 on Step Day, but he took to Stepping like a fish to water, experiencing none of the disorientation and nausea that struck almost everyone else. Since then, he has traveled further than anyone else he knows of, and has even discovered that he doesn't need the Stepper device but can Step on his own. A loner by nature, Joshua is skeptical at first when he is approached by the artificial intelligence named Lobsang who wishes Joshua to travel with him to the farthest reaches of what's now known as the Long Earth, but in the end the lure of the unknown is too great to resist. As they two travel further and further into the parallel worlds, things become stranger and stranger, and they begin to realize that something out there is threatening the stability of the entire system and only they have the wherewithal to stop it. Meanwhile, back on the "original" Earth, the political and economic system, already destabilized by Stepping, quickly approaches a cataclysmic collapse.
Readers expecting another Discworld will not find that here. While The Long Earth shows flashes of Pratchett's wit and inventiveness, it is a very different beast altogether, with a much more serious, sci-fi tone. One hopes that future sequels will delve further into the unusual ecosystems of the Long Earth and continue to flesh out the characters of Lobsang and Joshua.

Along with my two trusty ThinkPads, I'm at the Large Installation System Administration 2012 conference in San Diego — known as LISA '12, for those of you keeping score at home. At the Southern California Linux Expo SCALE 11X booth at LISA '12, the ThinkPads were put to work, both running CrunchBang.
One — the T42 with Waldorf testing 20121015 — ran the slide show on a large monitor after a harrowing half-hour of operator error which yours truly miraculously fixed to get it to display right. Once the display and the laptop played nicely together, the slide show went flawlessly all day without a hitch.
The second — a T60 with Waldorf testing 20121015 — ran the registration on for those who wanted to sign up to attend SCALE 11X in Los Angeles in February.
Both machines with CrunchBang ran flawlessly all day, and we get to do it all again tomorrow. Watch this space.

Thread: Ray Rice has been quiet
Ray Rice has been quiet
I figured after a SB win, he would be one of the main media guys.
I know he had an appearance on Ripa (?) and Strahan, but other than that haven't heard much from him.
Maybe he is a little bummed about his playoff performance?
rush - 15/68
pass - 1/47
2 fumbles
rush - 30/131, 1TD
rush - 19/48, 1TD
pass - 3/22
rush - 20/59
pass - 4/19
1 fumble
Playoff totals:
rush - 84/306 for a poor 3.64ypc, 2TDs, 3 fumbles
pass - 8/88
In fact I think his stats this year were a bit of a down year for him. I really hope we didn't burn him out 2-3 years ago with over usage (similar to Turner in Atlanta).
I am glad we have Pierce, because that should push Rice more to maintain top dog status. Even still, I'd be happy giving Rice fewer carries and making him more integral in the passing game such as Sproles in NO.

Re: Ray Rice has been quiet
Not many RBs (even the HOF ones) have ever been very good in the play offs, or in SBs. I think the high intensity makes the run games ineffective in the big PO games.

Re: Ray Rice has been quiet
I felt bad for Ray. I think the fumbles really shook his confidence.I want a Flacco jersey! Johnny Bench wore #5
Re: Ray Rice has been quiet
Rice had a chance to boost his marketability majorly during this post-season run but his struggles this post-season all but canceled that.
Re: Ray Rice has been quiet
But Ray Rice also has a bubbly personality, and would have easily been a media darling. But like you said, no one latches onto the guy's that struggled.
I just fear that it seems to be a pattern.
Of course it could be that in the playoffs teams key on Rice because he has historically been our playmaker, and they don't want to let him beat them. So they shut him down and force us to use other players to beat them, to Rice's detriment.
Re: Ray Rice has been quiet
i was thinking the same thing. i think rice has an ego larger than most and his putting the ball on the ground is a way for your teammates to lose confidence in you. the emergence of benard pierce has left rice somewhat muted.
i hope he responds with a chip on his shoulder and plays lights out next year. either way it looks like we are set at RB for the foreseeable future. when pierce is up for his second contract rice may be about done.

Re: Ray Rice has been quiet
Teams key in on Rice during post season, he will always have an average game. But if average means making crucial first downs, I'll take it. Pierce was a god send with his running ability and his vision that allowed him to break to the outside for nice gains. Pierce on the team last year would have been the pust the offense needed. N o disrespect to Ray(4th & 29), he has been there for the Ravens I'm sure he realizes that it was a team effort and is playing his role as a key member of the team. The fumbling baffles me in postseason play. More likely an attempt to get more yardage while forgettin about ball security.
Re: Ray Rice has been quiet
And I don't think he was overused at all. Think about how many games this year he barely touched the ball. If anything, he should have been fresh for the playoffs.
His fumble in the SB could have cost us the game.

Really, only 3 guys have hit the circuit...
John Harbaugh - Head Coach
Joe Flacco - Super Bowl MVP
Jacoby Jones - "Runner up" for MVP, had two biggest plays in Super Bowl
No Reed, No Torrey, No Pitta, No Ngata, Not much Suggs (just bashing Skip on First Take)....
When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. Thats the Baltimore Raven way. - Steve Smith Sr.

the dowels are set in 2 inches deep, with glue, and a screw from the back lol
it would not have held the windsurfer or the wood board on the bottom with just a flush mount
Kool I have a 4 board rack outside but they are to keep the boards standing up . I leave my boards in a shady spot on the back of the house in the summer cause its alot cooler than my shed
Lowes makes a lightweight adjustable steel overhead rack thats what i use in my garage. No wall space taken up. i use a small step stool to get boards down or whatever, trust me that shed/ garage / stoarge space will fill up real quick once the baby comes. THe overhead storage keeps the boards super safe!
I did something similar to Epidemic but made mine a little more heavy duty for the longboards on have on the rack. All materials were bought at Lowes, total price under $40 I think. Second pic shows the metal rods that hold the boards without the foam around them. I have had this setup for over a year with no problems. Right now this one rack holds a 10' heavy log, wifes 8'6 longboard, 8' egg, 7' fish, and a blank I shaped.
since you will be mounting it horizontally so the boards stand up, I don't think you need to worry AS much about getting into studs as if the rack would be holding all of the boards weight. I would still shoot for studs though (at least 1) since the board will essentially be "leaning" on the rack and not being held by it.
A more accurate way to find the studs (although the knuckle knock is the fastest and easiest yet less accurate) is this:
At night, turn off the lights in the room. put a flashlight on the floor where the floor meets the wall shining right up the wall. Look for the nail pops. You will see small areas where the screws got spackled over and some will have popped. You will be able to follow them straight up and down the stud. Then as mentioned above. Grab the measuring tape and measure 16" in either direction to the next stud. This assumes your house was built to code. If you live in a condo or apartment (newer construction), there's a good chance your stud is steel which will take a little more effort to get a screw into than wood.
^ old carpenters trick.
i figured I'd recycle a thread for cluttering sake. I am downsizing in room, so I have to keep my boards (all 6 of them) in my room. So, my plan is to erect a 6 board (6 dowels) vertical surf rack, connected to a firm piece of 2 x 4 and nailed into the studes of my wall with wood screws. Then, ill probably lay down a yoga mat on the floor and pipe foam ( iguess thats what you call it, you know what i'm talking about) to cover the dowels. But my question is, which material should i use? I was thinking just wood, but pvc pipe is looking more and more intriguing. Also, just curious if anyone else built a vertical rack before, and I'm just curious on any tips they could give. Thanks in advance.
All great advice. For the pictures of racks posted they look sharp. The metal rods seem really efficient for longboards. Thanks.
The attached photos are a vertical approach. This is my first rack and I'm satisfied. Really quick and easy. Not the best for visual purposes, but functional. (You can always stain the wood to give it a different 'look') Mainly for shortboards, strong enough for longboards. I wanted to make a vertical rack and mount it to the wall, but this approach allows me to move the rack if need be. I recycled 2 x 6 by cutting them in half. I find a lot of people use some foam to rap around the dowes, but I haven't had any issues yet. I used carpet to rest the boards. I used 2 inch dowes with wood glue. One suggestion when drilling the dowe holes- angle them so the dowes have a slight incline. Cost under $30.
Hope this helps. PM for actual dimensions..

Florsheim Online Shopping at Best Discount and Price - Yebhi.com
In 1892, Milton Florsheim began producing shoes in a small factory located in Chicago, Illinois. The first pairs of Florsheim shoes made by Milton and his father, Sigmund, were a remarkable combination of style, comfort and high quality workmanship.
 Milton realized from the very beginning that a high quality product was only one of the factors necessary for success. He understood that a strong distribution network was the other key component and would be essential in making certain his exceptional footwear found its customers. Accordingly, he provided support that enabled a number of entrepreneurs to establish retail businesses, which made Florsheim shoes readily available to the consumers in hundreds of small towns and villages across the nation.
 Thus, the Florsheim Company was formed on the breakthrough ideas of mass-producing shoes of exceptional quality, and the establishment of a strong, entrepreneurial dealer network. Not surprisingly, this combination was an immediate success.
 Around the turn of the century, the company began exploring other innovative methods of distributing and selling its shoes that would enhance the already established network. These included expanding wholesale distribution to metropolitan areas around the country, and the opening of a series of company-owned retail outlets. These outlets became the Company's Flagship stores that displayed and sold the entire Florsheim product line. Now, the partnership that would help Florsheim grow from a small factory into a brand and organization valued and respected all over the world was firmly in place."

Borodin keeps to the accepted divisions of Italian opera, and gives to Igor a long aria quite in the traditional style.
Borodin the composer is after all only the composer of a few fragments.
Borodin, who divided his life between science and music, wrote his opera piece by piece.
Nor did he feel within himself Borodin's rich and vivid sense of the past.
In 1856, while serving as an officer in the Preobrajensky Guards, he made the acquaintance of Borodin.
Borodin seems to be a special favourite in Germany (although they only care for this symphony).
As in the case of Borodin we are filled with amazement at the power of work and the versatility in Korsakoff's nature.
"The daughter of Nikoly Krnski, the one of Borodin fame, you know," somebody interrupted him.
Within a short time of their first meeting, the story of Cui and Moussorgsky was repeated in Borodin.
Rimsky-Korsakov and Borodin soon became intimate, notwithstanding the ten years difference in their ages.

Seniors, disabled get help feeding furry friends
LOS ANGELES: If Meals on Wheels didn't deliver donated dog food, Sherry Scott of San Diego says her golden retriever Tootie would be eating the pasta, riblets and veggie wraps meant for her. But thanks to partnerships between the program for low-income seniors and pet groups across the country, fewer people and pets are going hungry.
After Meals on Wheels volunteers noticed a growing number of clients giving their food away to their furry friends, they started working with shelters and other pet groups to add free pet food to their meal deliveries. Those programs, relying on donations and volunteers, have continued to grow in popularity as seniors began eating better, staying healthier and worrying less about feeding their pets, one group said.To read more or comment...

The 15th Annual Breast Cancer Conference will be held on Friday, October 15 at the Sheraton Burlington Hotel and Conference Center.
About the Conference (from the conference web site)
"The Annual Breast Cancer Conference, presented by the Vermont Cancer Center at UVM/Fletcher Allen, is committed to serving the needs of men and women in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Northern New York who are interested in learning about breast health. The conference is also strongly attended by many of the region's healthcare professionals. In 2011, more than 500 people attended the event, with representation from several New England states, including every county in Vermont, and nearly all counties of New Hampshire and Northern New York
The Vermont Cancer Center aims to educate, empower, and inspire Breast Cancer Conference participants to make healthy lifestyle choices to prevent cancer or its recurrence, to seek breast health maintenance, and to advocate for cancer prevention and high-quality breast care in our region. The primary goal for the conference is to be a trusted resource of information and educational opportunities for as many individuals as possible who have been touched by cancer, and their families, friends, and healthcare providers. Tantamount to that goal are the objectives of providing attendees with the most accurate and timely information available regarding the complex issues related to breast cancer and to inspire participants to maintain a healthy lifestyle, proactively seek healthcare maintenance, and advocate for high-quality breast care and health.
Our hope is that attendees will leave the event feeling more informed about their health and the myriad complexities of breast cancer, more empowered to make healthy lifestyle choices, and stronger and more hopeful for their experience of attending the conference."
For more information or to view the agenda, visit Breast Cancer Conference.
Once again the Dana Medical Library will exhibit at the Conference with materials from its Consumer Health Collection and information about Library services. Stop by our exhibit!

Item # S-ARK
On Sale Today! Save $4 on all sizes.
The Soft Arkansas stone is made of a stone called novaculite. This stone is quarried from the Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas and Oklahoma. Made of almost pure silica, the stone makes a great surface for sharpening knives and tools. The Soft Arkansas stone is the coarsest of the natural oilstones that we carry, but still finer than the fine man-made oil stones such as the India and Crystolon stones. Because this is a natural stone, the color of the stone varies. The handsome wooden box keeps the stone safe when not in use. The Soft Arkansas stone is available in 3 sizes to fit your needs. The 4" x 2" x 1" is a small economical stone that is best used only on smaller knives and tools. The 6" x 2" x 1" is a medium sized stone that is popular due to the good size and value. If you do a lot of sharpening, you'll appreciate the large 8" x 2" x 1" stone; its generous size allows for longer strokes to speed up the sharpening process.
Now available in the the wider 8" x 3" x 1/2" size.
Proudly quarried and made in the USA.
Q. How do the grits of Arkansas Stones Compare to each other?
A. Arkansas Stones are graded not by grit numbers like other types of stone, but by their density and hardness. The less dense, or softer the stone, the coarser it is. The more dense, or harder the stone, the finer it is. The coarsest Arkansas Stone we carry is the Soft Arkansas. The Hard Arkansas is in the middle of the Arkansas stones, and the Hard Black and Hard Translucent Arkansas stones are the finest.
Q. How do the grits of the Arkansas Stones compare to other types of oil stones?
A. The Soft Arkansas is a bit finer than the Fine India and the Fine Crystolon stones, and it makes an excellent next step from those types.
Q. How fine of an Arkansas Stone do I need?
A. The decision of what stone to finish with is a personal one depending on what kind of edge you desire. In general, a Soft Arkansas stone will leave a good edge with a bit of tooth. A Hard Arkansas will leave a more refined edge that is more highly polished. And a Hard Black or Hard Translucent Arkansas will leave a very refined edge that is approaching mirror fine.

Beeler takes no-no into sixth inning
Smokies right-hander teams up with two relievers on shutout
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | May 2, 2013 8:41 PM ET
Cubs farmhand Dallas Beeler isn't too concerned that 2013 represents the third consecutive year he's spent in the Southern League.
Instead, he's used each season to hone his craft and become the best pitcher he can be. This year, he's working on improving his secondary pitches, in particular, a new split-finger fastball.
On Thursday, Beeler carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning in the Double-A Tennessee Smokies' 7-0 win over the Mississippi Braves.
Beeler (3-2) finished having allowed one hit and three walks while striking out five batters over 6 2/3 innings.
"I wouldn't say it's about seeing the same teams, just the experience overall," he said. "You try to learn from the year before and now I'm learning from last year. I knew I needed a better off-speed pitch, so I developed a split-finger.
"I like where it's at right now. I started throwing it toward the end of last year. It's like a split-change and I can now throw it for strikes, not just throw it in the dirt and hope they swing over it," said Beeler, who grips his split-finger like a sinker with his fingers spread over two seams and his thumb running up the side.
Selected by the Cubs in the 41st round of the 2010 Draft, Beeler faced the minimum through the first five frames having erased the only baserunner -- a first-inning walk to Alden Carrithers -- with a 5-4-3 double play.
Braeden Schlehuber doubled to left field to lead off the sixth to break up the no-hit bid, but Beeler set down the next three batters to escape unscathed.
The 23-year-old, who made nine starts in the Southern League in his sophomore year and was 6-7 with a 4.24 ERA in 27 games with Tennessee in 2012, was replaced with two outs in the seventh after issuing consecutive walks to Jose Martinez and Christian Marrero.
"I felt a little sluggish at first in the bullpen, but that kept my mind off the game and I wasn't worrying about it too much," Beeler said. "My sinker was working and my split-finger was good from the very beginning and that stopped me from thwoing my slider.
"I didn't have to show them my slider until the third time through the order, and then I could break out another pitch, something new to throw out there. It's just another thing to make them look for and fight off."
The Oklahoma native has never been a part of a no-hitter at any level. He's never even seen one in person. The closest he came was when Cubs teammate and friend Austin Kirk threw a complete-game no-hitter for Class A Peoria on July 4, 2011, four weeks after he was promoted to Tennessee.
"It's always nice to finish the seventh inning, but I could see where the manager was coming from," Beeler said. "It wasn't a big deal. I walked those two guys, I was getting behind in the count and I was trying to spot the ball too much inside rather than letting the ball do the work.
"I'm a ground-ball pitcher and they were swinging from the first inning. If they swing early, that keeps my pitch count down. I know my game, I'm not going to dazzle people with a ton of strikeouts. I'm trying to get them to hit ground balls, so I know I'll give up some hits."
Southpaw Zach Rosscup took the one-hitter through the eighth and right-hander Brian Schlitter worked around a pair of ninth-inning hits and one walk to strand the bases loaded and complete the shutout.
Mississippi starter JR Graham (1-2) allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out six batters over 5 1/3 innings.

Best Of :: People & Places
Talk about fashion-conscious. Home to a 972-piece Ethnic Dress Collection, the West Valley Art Museum is the best-dressed museum in the Southwest. Comprising costumes, textiles and ethnographic artworks from more than 75 countries, "The Golden Thread" collection got its start in 1985, when Sun City resident Dorothy Knop donated 356 pieces. (All are illustrated in her book Collections and Recollections: A Search for World Legacies of Ethnic Dress, available in the museum store.) Displayed items rotate periodically; currently, the focus falls on Asia, Africa and Latin America.
If fashion isn't your passion, the museum -- which originated as a satellite of the Phoenix Art Museum -- is an arts destination in its own right, with nearly 3,000 works in all manner of media.
With fresh white walls, great lighting and a dramatically high ceiling, this cavernous warehouse turned gallery space not only does justice to the intriguing art on display, but also to the downtown pretty things who turn up in droves on First Fridays to check out the work as well as each other. Any given month, monOrchid might also be hosting a hip local band or DJ, a fashion show, or even film screenings, giving the whole place a kind of dynamic vibe that you would imagine came out of Andy Warhol's Factory -- if only it had cropped up in the middle of the desert, not downtown Manhattan.
Aside from the experimental, no-budget "microcinema" events that have popped up in downtown art spaces, the best chance Valley cinema lovers have of seeing the edgiest indie films is at this jewel box of a theater, tucked in the shadow of Scottsdale Fashion Square. While some competition has cropped up recently, it's mostly from within the Harkins chain. (In particular, the Harkins Valley Art comes in a close second, with some decidedly non-mainstream features.) And as far as international titles are concerned, Camelview is frequently the only destination in the Valley to showcase the latest flicks from foreign shores.

Craig's List is a free Internet bulletin board system where you can buy, sell and trade just about everything, as well as cruise personal ads, find a job, or enter into one of many community discussion forums. Created in San Francisco in 1995, Craig's List came to Phoenix in May 2003 and has steadily built up its listings. Although still relatively sparse when compared to those cities in which Craig's List is better established, it is an easy, anonymous, free way to post bulletin board listings. Users reply through the Craig's List's anonymous e-mail system to postings, and the poster can choose to make contact or not. There are no ads, and no charge for most ads (the exception being employers who pay a small fee to post job listings).
And sometimes it's funny, such as this ad from July: "Now hiring 6-10 smaller carny types to drive/ride in modified tiny' Volkswagen beetle for grand finale of traveling road show. Experience necessary: Ability to manipulate small handles under duress. Resistance to fire is a plus. Similar roadshows are now igniting finale performers. Ability to dodge potentially dangerous projectiles. Must get along with others and pack animals. Excellent communication skills. Benefits: Travel and experience the West Valley!"
There's also an active singles area, including a kinky "casual encounters" board and "missed connections" in which you can post a note to that handsome stranger you wish you had spoken to at the bar last weekend.
Noted baseball architects Ellerbe Beckett designed this beautiful facility that serves as home to the Milwaukee Brewers. Built in 1998, and originally planned to house two spring training teams, the Maryvale park is not Bank One Ballpark, and that's why we love it. Sure, you can't see regular-season major league play, but when a game is on in this no-frills park, you'll see why we love it. There's no fancy-schmancy country club seating, or waiters to bring you drinks. This is the kind of park where people come to watch baseball, not talk on their cell phones and network. The stadium has more than enough seats to handle the volume of patrons it gets, without feeling like its cavernous sisters in Peoria and Mesa. Its partial roof offers shade to a large part of the stands, which provides comfort without ruining the "outdoor" feel of watching the game. The grounds are impeccable, there is ample parking, and its bright blue seats are actually pretty comfortable for molded plastic. The concession areas are well-placed, offering a variety of standard fare at different locations so that not a lot of walking is necessary to get your hot dog and beer, and smaller vendors set up booths of more unique items at the end of the walkways, out of the way of traffic patterns. The lawn seats in the outfield are set up on a steep incline, allowing even those in the cheap seats a great view.
The British-born Binder threw the state Legislature into a tizzy last spring when she elected to take her long-planned vacation during the final days of a contentious debate on the budget. Binder already had balked at draconian cuts urged by Republican leadership, and her departure forced the Rs to compromise with Governor Janet Napolitano's proposal.
We love her for that. And we love her because she is one of the few legislators who isn't afraid to depart from party line and do what she believes is in the best interest of her constituents. Her independence has triggered absurd reactions from other Republican leaders like pinhead House majority leader Eddie Farnsworth, who refused to move any of Binder's bills to the House floor for a vote.
A fiscal conservative with a social conscience, Binder has been one of the few voices in the state pressing for reforms to stop the coerced underage polygamous marriages practiced by a fundamentalist Mormon cult in Colorado City. Her courage and high principles are matched by her polite demeanor that seems to have more weight with that classy British accent.

Listen to Nicki Minaj Radio on iHeartRadio
We already knew Nicki Minaj has great assets (emphasis on that first syllable), but the rapper is making sure that NO ONE forgets it with the cover art to her new upcoming single.
Nicki shared the "Anaconda" cover art on Instagram where she puts the "G" in "OMG" with a pink G-String! She's pictured squatting in her flossy underwear, a matching pink sports bra, and blue and pink Jordans.
Nicki's been going for a more, natural, stripped down style lately, but this cover art gives the term "stripped down" a whole new meaning. But we have to say .. she looks amazing! Somebody's been doing their squats at the gym!
Click on the photo below to see the uncensored version on her Instagram page.
Nicki will be performing her new music at the upcoming iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on September 19th and 20th. The full lineup was unveiled this week! Check out who else is performing this year:

This is me, thinking aloud about ways to help in the Philippines (and to build a base for future reactions to disasters). Note that SCInet already has reacted in partnership with other groups, so I'm probably reinventing the wheel here (see my thoughts about Haiti, which I need to get back to work on). But I'm thinking anyway.
What I'm thinking about primarily is two responses:
- Instruction: sending booklets and transmitting PDFs for local printout/distrubtion that teaches people how to build their own integrated cooking/water purification out of scrounged materials
- Materials: CooKits, WAPIs, and instruction bundled into kits, ready to use.
Primary Issues
- What to send - what's the best thing to send?
- Production - do we have enough stuff? Is it bundled in a logical manner?
- Transportation - how do we get it there? Are there NGOs responding to this who would be interested, and what do we need to do to sell the idea of delivering supplies (i.e., the water purification angle)
- Education - how do we teach people how to use it?
- What's already there - are there already solar cooking promoters in the Philippines who are working on exactly this, and if so, how can we help them? What do they think is the best response to this situation?
- Funding - how do we pay for it, not only in terms of money, but in terms of man-hours needed to execute the project?
All of these questions feed into one another. Finding out the truth on the ground is pretty important. There's no use in generating, say, a ton of self-starter kits if there is no way on the ground to get them to the people who need them, or if there are other educational or cultural barriers to people actually using them once they're there.
First Thoughts about Actual Physical Stuff
Instruction Cards
With regard to the ready-to-use kits: these would consist of a CooKit, a WAPI, and a set of cards that would provide quick set-it-up-yourself instruction in various regional languages.
If we can fit instructions on one side of an oversized postcard (half of a US Legal sheet), we can support four languages using two cards. Alternately, a full-sized sheet of paper bi-folded into a folio could support four languages for one set of instructions. I would be happiest with a kit that would contain:
- A CooKit
- Instructions for building a 16-brick Rocket Stove
- Instructions for building a heat-retention basket
It might also be good to produce instructions for building a WAPI, and perhaps some other built-it-yourself cooker plans for making cookers out of scrounged materials.
Vistaprint, oversized postcards (half a U.S. legal sheet):
Full Bleed Size
8.64" x 5.59" 219 x 142 mm 2592 x 1677 pixels
Document Trim Size
8.52" x 5.47" 216 x 139 mm 2556 x 1642 pixels
Here: http://www.vistaprint.com/postcards.aspx
Cost: $100 for 500 ($0.20 each). Greyscale printing on the back is offered for free, so we could do one language on the front, and another on the back. They are unlaminated. Given that the basic CooKit is also unlaminated, I'm not terribly worried about the cards getting wet. They could be stored in a spare large oven bag (along with the CooKit, maybe).
Wikipedia says: Filipino (which may or may not be something more or less the same as, or a prestigious version of, Tagalog) and English are the Philippines' two official languages. (Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines).
Hardest hit areas: "Haiyan raced across the eastern and central Philippines, inflicting serious damage to at least six of the archipelago's more than 7,000 islands, with Leyte, neighboring Samar Island, and the northern part of Cebu appearing to take the hardest hit." (here: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20131110/DA9VLS880.html).
Back to Wikipedia: Leyte and Samar are part of the Eastern Visayas Province; Cebu is part of Southern Mindanao. Tacloban, one of the hardest-hit cities, is the largest city on Leyte Island. According to Wikipedia's entry on Leyte (here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leyte), the region is served by four languages: Waray-Waray, Cebuano, Filipino, English. Waray-Waray is spoken in the northern part of Leyte, in parts surrounding Tacloban City (here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waray-Waray_language). Cebuano is the primary language of the Central Visayas (and Cebu, hence its name), but is also spoken in Western Leyte (here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cebuano_language).
Because I am an Esperanto geek, I am of course going to push forward to having all of these materials in Esperanto as foundational documents. There are Esperantists all over the world. So if we find ourselves involved in a situation that requires our documents be translated into a local language, chances are just as good (or perhaps better, depending on the area) that there will be someone who speaks excellent Esperanto who will be willing to translate for us. I can't prove it, though.
Something Can Be Done
This is my placeholder for links to NGOs and other bits of information that I think will be useful (or who are already responding to the Haiyan disaster).
Solarwiki's page on Philippines: http://solarcooking.wikia.com/wiki/Philippines
I've contacted OneEarth and Sun Blaze BBQ via FB to find out if they've already got plans -- most specifically if they have the means to get supplies to the region. I know that international groups like Red Cross have the means (and, in fact, it wouldn't surprise me to know that the U.S. Navy isn't right now delivering relief supplies via helicopter to the affected areas); the question is: if SCInet spearheaded a project to fund the creation of self-starter kits, would they be willing to deliver them?
WAPI kits: http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130129195927/solarcooking/images/d/d5/Cool_Wapi_-_Bob_Nepper_January_2013.pdf
WAPI meta kit: emailed firstname.lastname@example.com
Now I have to ask myself: where does the U.S. Navy get its relief supplies? In a completely unofficial response from another person on Facebook: "...the Navy is the delivering agent. Just as with all relief supplies fro our Government, they are paid for by the taxpayers. The Navy, just as other services will provide transportation for relief supplies from agencies such as Red Cross." And: "...DLA is usually tasked with tracking those supplies in conjunction with various organizations such as the Red Cross, Salvation Army, etc. (At least that is how it was in the 90's when Hurricane Marilyn went through the Virgin Islands.)"

One Icon, One Detail: JFK's Polo Shirt
Don't be distracted by the fact that this may very well be the world's first example of a "Presidential selfie" (or by your excitement about Sunday's auction, in which this photo will be up for sale, along with other pieces of history like JFK's Air Force One bomber jacket). Because if you pay close enough attention, you'll notice that John F. Kennedy, the man we've all taken countless style cues from, is teaching us yet another lesson. Here, he's displaying how to wear a polo shirt like an adult. Unfortunately for most young guys out there, the polo shirt was nearly ruined during the aughts, thanks to popped collars and mall brands. But take if from a Kennedy, the polo shirt can be as stylish as a button-up — it's just a matter of how you wear it. Notice how JFK paired his shirt with neatly pressed trousers, not jeans, and finished the look off with his trademark sunglasses. This is how the polo shirt should be approached, as a neutralizer that helps to balance out a clean look on a particularly hot or humid day. Consider it when spring and summer roll in. Just, whatever you do, leave that collar down. You oughta be looking like a Kennedy, not a frat boy.

I'm pretty badly overweight.
Been jogging 5k on the treadmill every night for two weeks now.
I've put a couple of lbs on.
I feel stronger. Every night or two I try to do my 5k a little bit faster or put a slightly higher incline on, but is it normal to put weight on?
I feel stronger than I did, so I'm going to try to up it to 8k in a few days.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The payday lender Cash America says about 14,000 customers in Ohio who've been taken to court for not paying their debts are going to get some money back.
The reason, according to The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/WJYe1D ), is that most of the company's employees failed to prepare documents properly in legal proceedings to recover the money.
The company said it believes documents show the money is owed, but that the preparation and filing didn't always comply with court rules.
The total cost of the reimbursement program is expected to be $13.4 million. The company hasn't said yet when or how customers will be reimbursed for money they paid back to the company as part of the legal actions.
The company operates 120 Cashland and Cash America stores in Ohio.
