Sinkford Letter to Federated Department Stores Regarding Rugmark
November 16, 2001
Mr. James Zimmerman
Chairman, CEO
Federated Department Stores, Inc.
7 West Seventh Street
Cincinnati, OH 45202-2471
By fax: (513) 579-7185Dear Mr. Zimmerman,
As the leader of more than 1,050 Unitarian Universalist congregations in North America, I write to you to express our concern over the use of child labor in the hand-made carpet industry. In cooperation with the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR) and Walden Asset Management, the Unitarian Universalist Association strongly encourages Federated Department Stores to support the Rugmark Foundation and to carry Rugmark -labeled carpets in all of your carpet concessions. We believe that this is an excellent opportunity for Federated and its vendors to live up to all aspects of your Code of Conduct by publicly reaffirming your opposition to profiting from products made by the sweat and toil of children.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, abusive child labor in the carpet industry is widely documented in India, Nepal, and Pakistan. More than a million children work long hours in confined, dimly lit workshops. Many develop respiratory illnesses, spinal deformities, and cuts and wounds from sharp tools. These are wounds that destroy their childhoods and leave scars that last a lifetime. The United States is the world's largest consumer for hand knotted carpets, and we Unitarian Universalists believe that we have a moral and ethical responsibility to see that these products are not manufactured by the abused labor of children.
The Rugmark Foundation is a unique and independent organization working to end exploitative child labor in the hand knotted carpet industry in South Asia. Carrying the Rugmark label offers consumers the best possible assurance that their carpet or rug was not made with child labor. Rugmark, supported by child welfare organizations worldwide such as UNICEF, attempts to reverse abusive child labor practices by moving children away from carpet looms and into schools. As an independent nonprofit organization, Rugmark has objective independent monitoring processes embedded in its licensing operations. We are unaware of any other consumer-interest, carpet certification program that matches Rugmark's success or integrity. Complete information about Rugmark and their extraordinary work can be found on their website at www.rugmark.org.
We understand from Walden Asset Management that Federated has had some discussions with Rugmark and with its carpet vendors. Our impression, however, is that Federated has decided to leave to its carpet vendors whether or not to carry and supply Rugmark carpets. Encouraging your carpet vendors and suppliers to participate in Rugmark seems a clear win-win situation for Federated and its customers.
We strongly encourage Federated to become the American retail leader on the issue of child labor in the hand-knotted carpet industry by endorsing Rugmark and asking its suppliers and vendors to supply Rugmark-licensed carpets. To this end, we hope that you will agree to send a management representative to meet with representatives of Walden Asset Management at the earliest possible date so that we can hear your views on this issue. Unitarian Universalists throughout North America eagerly await word that Federated Department Stores do not sell carpets produced by child labor.
Thank you for your kind attention.
In faith,
Rev. William Sinkford

Inside the Kitchen
Saturday night I had planned t have several ladies over. We do a twice a year clothing swap, and while the clothes are being set up, we eat and talk. My contribution was supposed to be brownies. I have an absolutely delicious recipe that I make, and after I discovered this recipe - I'll never use a mix again. The recipe isn't my own, as I saw it online - but they are well known to be "Carmen's brownies". It's completely decadent, very fattening and completely not healthy.
They are so yummy.
You begin the recipe by melting 3 sticks of butter and mixing in 2 cups of cocoa powder. Let it cool. In a separate bowl, whisk 6 eggs and add two cups each of brown and white sugar. Mix well, pour in chocolate mixture and 2 T vanilla. (I typically use vanilla bean paste as I like the more intense flavor.) Stir in 2 cups flour and 1 t salt.
Or, forget that step.
Yes, when I was creating my yummy brownies, I became distracted and forgot to add the flour. I poured the batter into the greased 9x13 pan (you can use a larger pan if you like thinner brownies), stirred a vat of nuts into the mixture - at least it seems like a vat of nuts, my husband loves some brownie served along with the nuts. I popped the pan into the preheated 350 degree oven. I checked the brownies at 30 minutes, when my kitchen smelled absolutely amazing, and the brownies weren't done. I checked them again at 40 and 50 minutes, and saw that they were beginning to burn around the edges, but they looked grainy and were still doughy in the middle.
And that's when I realized I'd forgotten the flour. I removed the pan from the oven, grumbling all the while, only to realize that I'd forgotten to line the pan with parchment paper or foil. I always do this with brownies, as once they are cool you can just lift the entire block of goodness out. It makes slicing and serving a snap and clean up is virtually non existent.
If you forget the flour AND the parchment paper - well, just know that I had to leave that pan to soak for an awfully long time and it took a lot of elbow grease to clean it. I was super disappointed with myself, and made a vow to never forget either the flour OR the parchment paper.
Have you had a kitchen disaster? Were you able to save it, or was it a complete flop?
Oh goodness!
Most of my flops are at dinner time and end of a pay check. I remember doing a lentil stew in the crockpot recently. It burnt in less time than the cook time and it was end of pay check so we had limited funds and pair that with a child with severe allergies. Oh yes, kitchen blunders are a HUGE issue for us.
I hope you still had fun at the clothing swap! -
OMG. I did something very much like that a long time ago. Our family has a tradition of serving a "yule log" cake on Christmas eve. The cake is kind of like sponge cake, and is baked in a jelly roll pan, then you turn it out, roll it up, and when cool, unroll and frost it, then roll back up. It's really yummy. So, it was Christmas eve. I made the cake. Took it out of the oven, and it promptly collapsed. Tried again. And again, and again. On the 4th try, I realized I'd forgotten the damn flour. By then I was screaming swear words, frustrated beyond belief, and had wasted over 2 dozen eggs!! And, that was the last time I made that damn cake.

Hi welcome to the forum, what do you like to get up to in your slippers? and what do you want to be done to you with slippers? Let me know
Hi Doccrupert.... I sent you a private email ....
Hope to hear from you Mike
Hi.... I sent you a private message
Looking forward in hearing from you.
Hi... Let me tell you how I became a slipper fetish fan... . i was over at a friend's cottage over a weekend and we are 3 guys that work together in the same office and go out together for drinks at the pub on weekends. One guy is married and bi and we are both gay. After having a busy week at work we had a long weekend so we decided to spend some quality time together.... On a arriving the Friday evening we had a BBQ and a few beers to get into the relaxing mode.... and after we had a good swim in my friend's pool. We built a camp fire just to sit down and chat the way we do all the time.... After everyone got smashed and couldn't walk straight anymore we fell asleep sitting down... about 2 hours later i woke up as it was chilly outside and decided to go in and sleep in a real bed.. with warm covers.... and maybe more. I took a shower put on a robe and my house slippers which i bring along all the time and i keep a spare pair of soft sole moccasins at my friend's place... On this trip I brought a second pair for my friend Matt the married guy as he only wears classy expensive stuff... that he only wears indoors so they don't get dirty.. You see he is also a clean freak.... My other friend.. is also a cool guy but a snooty type but very dominant and loves to be the Top every time we make out... we are both single and we don't go to bed with just anybody... After having taken my shower.......... went back outside to wake up Matt to help him come in as he was more smashed than that Rob... I helped him get in and brought him to the guest bed... I just layed him down took off his pants.....and shirt and put a cover over him... I went back out to get Rob... but Rob woke up when I was helping Matt in bringing him in. Rob took a shower and came to see me in my room..... where we share the same bed.
I was a bit tired but when I seen him come in with a robe and just slippers.... it got me all worked up.....He just jumped on the bed.... and began caressing me..... while i was still with a robe on and a pair of closed back soft leather slippers........ I turned around and began tongue kissing..... and one thing leading to another.... my hands were on his dick.... that by now was beginning to grow. He took off my robe and said.... Mike I want to fuck you............ bad...... he laid back and I began to suck him so slowly until i had pre cum over my lips..... which he turned around and just licked my lips clean.... this got me HOT HOT & HOT...... He pulled me over to the side of the bed.... and put a pillow behind my head.... and began to suck me.... the same way i sucked him.... after a few min.. he was hard like a rock...and took some lubricant.... and smeared my hole. Being both fuck buddies.... we don't wear rubbers as we love the sensation of hot cum up the rectum.... and i love the taste of cum.... While he is pounding down in me my both feet in slippers are pressing on his chest and he loves the feel of leather pressing on him.... at one point he is going quicker and he just began licking the top of the slipper.... and almost bit on softly...which got my dick twice as horny...... i loved the feeling of having my feet held and being kissed while pushing deeper in me.
At one point he pulled his hot dick and in the excitement my feet came down and he shot his load on my belly but a good part of it went over the top of the slipper..... He then took the sperm off my belly and brought it to my lips where i slurped it clean and he took my slippered foot and licked the cum off it and then brought it to my lips...........and we madly kissed till we fell one on top of each other..... When i turned him around i made him wear my closed back slippers as we wear the same size..... it just turned me on even more... I began pumping into him and it was just heavenly as i took his feet and also press them on my chest but this time i was cleaning off the rest of his sperm... After plowing in for 10 min I think... I took out my throbbing cock and sent cum all over from belly to his mouth..... I then took off one of the slippers of his foot that i was licking and pressed it over his belly to smear it on the slipper.... i then took the slipper and began licking and swallowing the front of the slipper.... I think i never got so hot in my life and the sensation it gave me..... was out of this world...
While all this is going on Matt must have got awakened by our heavy breathing and was watching me lick the slipper but must have been watching for awhile as he went back to his room to bring back his slippers..... He just said.... May i join in....... Matt has a bit of a kinkyier side.. he loves to spank.... and be spanked.... but this time we did not have any wooden paddle and only soft leather sole slippers..... Rob & I were already horny as hell so it didn't take much to get Matt all worked up either.... I asked Matt to keep his slippers on and to lay on his back on the bed.... Rob bagan to kiss him and i was blowing him hard...... until i could taste his pre cum...... and finger his hole at the same time......... While he was on his back I took his slipper and hit him on the side of his hip.... a few times till it got red,.... and he just loved it...... i then did something strange....and took my slipper and slapped his cock very gently.... and he became even harder..... I took the slipper and by now he had pre cum flowing from his penis that i just smeared on top of the slipper...... i asked him if he wanted to taste his own cum off my slipper and said yes...... Rob and i looked at each other and couldn't believe he was licking his own cum off his slipper... Rob joined in.. to finish the rest..... I blew Matt till he exploded in my mouth....and had cum flowing down my sides..... I climbed over to Matt and he just wanted to have all of the cum for him self..... Just re-writing this made me sticky all over.... After we finished we laid all three in bed....and fell asleep..... till 10:00 Saturday morning..... I think we all agreed it was one of the best kinky things we have ever done. Ever since that time i keep on my slippers when i make out and so does Rob.... as for Matt... his wife is not keen on having slippers on top of the bed..... I now appreciate much more being spanked and the slipper thing is a real turn on..... Rob and I keep four pairs of slippers all the time at the cottage and at our homes.... These slippers are kept in the bedroom so they are new and never used to walk out side the house.... I hope you enjoyed my story....as it did happen a few years ago..and we still get together... for this kind of fun when ever we meet up at his cottage....
Ps: I can say one thing..... Don't knock it till you have tried it..... and it won't knock your socks off but your slippers will..... and you will never look at slippers the same way again.... I am member of a few slipper clubs and you would be surprise to know how many guys have a Kink of leather slippers.....
Anyone ever trade leather slippers? does anyone ever play with them? Does anyone ever enjoy watching another guy wear them in public at the grocery store... or taking a walk with his dog? It would be nice to hear from others.... I love to see a guy in burgundy leather slippers... is a major turn on for me.....
Has anyone ever kept their soft leather soled slippers or moccasins on while being made passionate SEX?
What about those comfort sandals? Wear those with socks sometime anyone have that fetish?

"He doesn't have a sexist bone in his body."
Groups opposing Roberts have made way too much out of his opposition to the "comparable worth" theory, and it's important to counter that. At the same time, the question isn't whether Roberts is "sexist," but how he will resolve various legal issues once he's on the Supreme Court. Interpreting constitutional rights narrowly and limiting the ability of women to seek judicial remedies are things that a judge without "a sexist bone in his body" could easily do. By the same token, I'll bet many of the votes cast in favor of women's rights on the Court over the years came from Justices who were big sexists.

Great post Ann.
I couldn't agree more about the juxtapositions of justices and how they will vote.
One begins to wonder if the same justices who "praised" Roberts during his prior judicial hearings are going to give him a high-tech lynching, the likes of which Clarence Thomas received during his hearings.
For the record, Ruth Bader Ginsberg said OVER AND OVER again during her hearings that she wouldn't comment on any specific cases, yet was approved with only 3 dissenting GOP votes, in spite of her leftist politics. Ed.

What about Chavez's comment and the extent and vehemence with which she declared Judge Roberts' inability to be sexist inadvertently fitting in with the 'he's probably gay' whisper campaign.
After all, isn't it more or less expected that straight men have a sexist bone or two in their body from time to time?

Winter Decorating Ideas: Wonderful Ways to Brighten Up Your Home with Candles and Lights
Winter brings unique beauty to any landscape, but at times, the nights can get too dark, too long, and too cold. The gray skies can often cast a melancholic mood on the entire household. So this season, give your home that much-needed warmth and embrace the radiance brought on by these marvelous lighting ideas as curated by Balsam Hill:
Fill Your Home with Gentle Radiance Using Candles
Candles have been filling homes with light for centuries. They are timeless – reminiscent of the past – and cast depth and elegance, making them the perfect way to add ambiance to any space. Candles with neutral shades are particularly ideal as they go well with most home décor. They also cast radiance in the areas of your home void of light.
For a more refined appearance, group your candles together and place them inside a glass cage. This keeps the wick safely lit and prevents the breeze from extinguishing the flame. The glass also adds texture and a stately appearance to any quiet corner. For a safer alternative that matches any décor, choose flameless LED candles that mimic the flickering effect of real candles. Since they are battery-operated and come with a timer, flameless LED candles create the same romantic glow without the fire hazard.
Standing candelabra can also be used to add further beauty to a candle's timeless grace. In this photo, candles and electrical lighting are combined to create a marvelous backdrop. This wonderful idea effortlessly fills rooms with an atmosphere of winter beauty. Place the string lights behind thin white drapes to give the space the illusion of gentle snowfall outside.
Today, candles can come in different shapes, textures, and sizes. Some even have their own unique containers or plates that add style to the already classic piece.
Add countryside charm while illuminating your room with bark candles. Not only do they deliver a warm atmosphere, they also convey a forest lodge feel that would make you want to sit by a cozy fire. These choices look great inside cabins or cottage homes. Together with other wintry accents, like a knitted throw for chairs and sofas, these pieces bring a rustic appeal that the family can enjoy.
Another way to add delight to your room is to hang bubble tea lights. When loved ones and guests walk around the area, they would feel as though they were wandering in a space strewn with enchanting stars or floating bubbles. Although installing these can be tedious and time-consuming, the result guarantees an unforgettable and magical experience.
Cozy Up Your Space Using Accent Lighting
Pleated string lights are a marvelous way to add captivating luminescence and subtle character to your room. The ceramic covers are simple, clean, and easily blend with any decorative theme. These kinds of lights are a treat if you're hosting a dinner party. They may not be the predictable Christmas lights, but they add sparkle to the atmosphere all the same.
You can also install some track lighting. Although they're more permanent, they can bring a spotlight to your area and accent furniture. They can even be moved and positioned differently when the season changes or when you adjust the focal point of your room.
Another option is to use Christmas lights. String them on your recessed walls, banisters, mantels, and tables. To add a touch of color, surround them with colorful bottles or tinted mason jars. The light, coupled with the hue, will provide a whimsical spirit and cozy appeal to your room, which everyone will enjoy.
Take inspiration from classical lighting schemes. Add an elegant wall sconce with a candle bulb and crystal accents. Perfect for the corners of your living room, and an ideal addition to hallways, this light fixture creates a pleasant glow that fills spaces with a mystical and sophisticated appeal. You can also use the candle bulb all year long for sconces that don't have shades.
Fill Your Room with Life Using Your Fireplace
You can also pour salt inside a clear glass and stick a twig or a piece of a branch inside. This snow-like décor will contrast nicely with the roaring flame emanating from your fireplace: a vision of a winter evening that truly encapsulates the season.
If you prefer to have something a little bit more old-world, candlesticks and candles are again lovely choices. The soft radiance coming from these pieces provides a nice balance with the soothing flame coming from the fireplace. Make sure to pick out candlesticks that have a metallic finish. This will echo the color of the outdoors and even show how snow and ice shimmer against the light of the sun. Neutral subtle tones like these are also a refreshing break from the rich red, gold, and green often associated with the previous season.
You can also use tall candle holders for your mantel. In this image, the symmetrical placement of the candles highlights the star, which is the focal point of the room. The candles also benefit from the addition of an iron candle votive holder. It picks up the light from the mantel and also provides a unique way to convey warmth without using a traditional roaring flame. This focused luminescence keeps things neat and clean and provides opportunities for interchanging what is in the firebox.
Brighten up your home during those blue winter days with these exquisite lighting options from Balsam Hill.

Psicomagia by Estudio Martin Gomez Arquitectos
This house was proyected with two volumes. the first one overlooking the ruta 10, which contains the service area. and the second one overlooking the garden, pool and sea. on the ground floor 3 bedrooms and in the first floor the social area with an amazing view to the punta piedras beach.
The proyect has the two volumes facing each other connecting the ground floor by a terrace as a transition area, which creates a straight dialogue between each other. At the same time these two volumes diferenciate each other. the service area is a closed and heavy block and the social area is more open and transparent opening itself to the most important views to the terrace and the sea.
In the first floor several pergolas play with the social volume creating various outdoor situations that invite its habitats to enjoy al fresco.

But the country is having trouble attracting new paleontology students. This "group photo of one" represents the entire paleontology graduating class at China's #1 research university, which has only graduated one new paleontology student each year for four years straight. The photo's appearance this week on Chinese social networking site Renren has sparked a mini-debate in China about the value of "searching for Godzilla" as a career, and whether paleontology is as worthwhile a pursuit as more popular degrees like business or economics.

Oracle® Database SQL Language Reference 11g Release 2 (11.2) Part Number E17118-03 |
View PDF |
Oracle stores XMLType
data either in LOB or object-relational columns, based on XMLSchema information and how you specify the storage clause. The XMLDATA
pseudocolumn lets you access the underlying LOB or object relational column to specify additional storage clause parameters, constraints, indexes, and so forth.
Example The following statements illustrate the use of this pseudocolumn. Suppose you create a simple table of XMLType
CREATE TABLE xml_lob_tab of XMLTYPE;
The default storage is in a CLOB
column. To change the storage characteristics of the underlying LOB column, you can use the following statement:
ALTER TABLE xml_lob_tab MODIFY LOB (XMLDATA) (STORAGE (MAXSIZE 2G) CACHE);
Now suppose you have created an XMLSchema-based table like the xwarehouses
table created in "Using XML in SQL Statements". You could then use the XMLDATA
column to set the properties of the underlying columns, as shown in the following statement:
ALTER TABLE xwarehouses ADD (UNIQUE(XMLDATA."WarehouseId"));

A service called iPodJuice claims to offer a full iPhone battery replacement and installation process for just $25. Sound to good to be true? Yeah, I think so too. I'm charging my iPhone 400 times today just so I can try out this service.
I could be mistaken but it looks like they charge 20 for the battery and then 25 to put the ipodjuice battery into an iphone...so that would be 45 bucks.
still not a bad deal to get your iphone batteries from if that's what you want to do.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
By Sue Poremba
Many corporations discourage the use of consumer-oriented cloud applications, such as Dropbox and Drive. While these apps provide a convenient way to store and share files, they present security and compliance issues. However, that is not stopping users–including chief executives.
According to a survey from SafeNet Labs, more than one out of five employees say they use a free cloud service or file-sharing application for work purposes, even if their company policies prohibit such use. The higher up the ladder the employee is, the more likely that policy is ignored. The SafeNet Labs survey found that 33% of C-level executives are using these applications, despite corporate rules, as opposed to 18% of lower-level employees.
Tsion Gonen, chief strategy officer at SafeNet, an encryption and authentication vendor, takes the survey results as a sign that organizations should reexamine what he calls "antiquated attitudes" toward cloud-based apps.
"It's clear that top-level executives understand the advantages of cloud app usage, and should enable their companies to leverage these advantages by adopting contemporary security tools and practices," said Gonen in a release.
David Robinson, VP of global marketing at storage backup provider Mozy, agrees that the time has come to loosen the rules regarding employee use of cloud applications. The reasons are two-fold, he says: First, file-sharing and cloud applications are convenient. Second, these applications allow employees to be more productive and keep data more secure while they are working. He added that the ability to sync work among multiple devices reduces the chances that data will be stored on removable media and thus be more easily lost or stolen.
"Employees at all levels use these cloud applications in their personal life," said Robinson. It makes sense that they turn to them for work, especially as the line between personal and business blurs in areas like bring your own device and telecommuting.
Robinson understands that the primary concern for chief executives is that public cloud applications can put corporate data at risk. That's why they should turn to a cloud application that is approved by the IT department. "IT doesn't want to be in the business of telling people no," said Robinson, "but they do need to have oversight of the applications being used to share corporate data."
When there is a standard cloud application adopted by the enterprise, IT can better monitor use of the application, and fewer employees and executives will feel the need to break the rules regarding file sharing with free, unauthorized cloud accounts.

Matt Mulligan brings exceptional blocking — and unique background — to Packers
Green Bay — There are unique, uncommon and stunning paths certain players take on their way to the NFL. But good luck finding one more unusual than Matt Mulligan's.
Mulligan was a 20-year-old playing basketball at NCAA Division III Husson College in Maine. Amazingly, he had never played a snap of organized football.
Now, eight years later, Mulligan is the newest tight end on the Green Bay Packers' roster. And if the Packers are successful in improving their running game — as Mike McCarthy stressed this off-season — Mulligan figures to be a major reason why.
"I'm here because of my blocking. That's for sure," said Mulligan, who's with his fifth organization since entering the league in 2008. "That's what I've been doing.
"I just found my niche that way and tried to make my hay doing what I could do best. They told me when I first got to the NFL to make sure you have something that's intangible, something you do better than any other guy. I've tried to do that and really tried to excel at that."
Less than a decade ago, no one could have predicted Mulligan would be trying to excel in the NFL.
The 6-foot-4, 275-pound Mulligan attended Penobscot Valley High School in Maine, where football wasn't offered. But Mulligan may not have played anyhow.
That's because he played four years of basketball, two of soccer, and one year each of baseball, tennis, and track and field. Mulligan's best sports were basketball and soccer, where he was honorable mention all-state in both.
Mulligan played basketball as a freshman at Husson College. And it was there that Gabby Price, the school's football coach, saw Mulligan and persuaded him to try football.
"I had no idea what I was doing," Mulligan said of trying to play football. "I didn't even know how to put pads on. I went in before the season started and said, 'Coach, I don't want to look like an idiot. You're going to have to show me how to put this stuff on,' because I had no idea what was going on."
He figured it out quickly.
Mulligan caught 13 passes for 300 yards and three touchdowns in his first season at Husson. Then Mulligan transferred to Maine, where he started 18 of 21 games over two years. Mulligan caught 23 passes in that time, but turned heads with his blocking.
"Scouts started coming and talking to me," Mulligan said. "I remember multiple teams coming to the junior pro day and asking this and that, getting all my stuff and telling me I had a shot. I had basically every NFL team come to my practices my senior year."
Still, nothing was easy. Mulligan wasn't invited to the NFL scouting combine and went undrafted.
Mulligan spent most of the 2008 season on Miami's practice squad, but was released there. Mulligan was cut by Tennessee the following summer, then spent 2½ seasons with the New York Jets, where he started 11 games.
Mulligan started nine games in St. Louis last year, then was stunned when the Rams released him on March 22.
"I don't ever look back on my life and have regrets because you don't know if you'd be where you are now if it wasn't for the other things that happened," Mulligan said. "Everything so far has been a great experience.
"I just feel that as a human being, if you're not learning from every experience, you're doing yourself a disservice. So I tried to take every possible instance and say, 'How can I get better from this' and learn from every situation I was put into."
Mulligan had offers from Green Bay and San Francisco this off-season. Eventually, he signed a one-year, $820,000 deal with the Packers.
"I felt like it was the best fit," said Mulligan, who along with wife Stephanie, has a 4-month-old daughter named Clara. "They talked to me and presented how they wanted to use me as a player."
Here's how: as a sledgehammer.
Green Bay has been running in quicksand for years now. The Packers haven't had a 100-yard rusher in 43 straight regular games, the eighth-longest streak in NFL history. And in six of McCarthy's seven seasons, Green Bay has finished in the bottom half of the league in rushing.
The Packers seem hell-bent on changing that. They've reshuffled their offensive line and drafted running backs Eddie Lacy and Johnathan Franklin in the first four rounds. And it appears a player like Mulligan will be used with great regularity to beef up the anemic ground game.
"He's definitely got a chance to step in and be a huge help to us," Packers right guard T.J. Lang said. "You watch him work out in the weight room and doing all that stuff on the field, and he's a strong guy. He's one of the strongest guys on the team. So he looks like a guy physically that will be able to step in and help us right away."
Fellow tight end Ryan Taylor agreed.
"He's a good player," Taylor said of Mulligan. "He's a good blocker. He's a big boy. I think Mulligan has a role and I think he's going to do it well."
As for Mulligan, he's grateful to be in Green Bay — and still amazed his path has taken him from Division III basketball to the NFL.
"It's a wild story, I know," Mulligan said. "But I just want to help however I can.
"The tight-end room here is very talented, and my mindset is to do whatever I can to contribute to the overall team success, no matter what that is. Special teams, the run game, the pass game — whatever they ask me to do, that's what I'm going to do to help us progress as a team."
And keep his remarkable story going.

US Sentinel Drone Fooled Into Landing With GPS Spoofing 647
McGruber writes "Following up on the earlier Slashdot story, the Christian Science Monitor now reports that GPS spoofing was used to get the RQ-170 Sentinel Drone to land in Iran. According to an Iranian engineer quoted in the article, 'By putting noise [jamming] on the communications, you force the bird into autopilot. This is where the bird loses its brain.' Apparently, once it loses its brain, the bird relies on GPS signals to get home. By spoofing GPS, Iranian engineers were able to get the drone to 'land on its own where we wanted it to, without having to crack the remote-control signals and communications.'"

Just a note - may I ask that if you're talking about "episodes" to mention whether you're talking about game or anime episodes? Pretty soon the term "episode" will become somewhat ambiguous in this forum.
Sure, there isn't anything to ask about anime episodes just yet, but if anyone wants to read this thread from the beginning in the future, it'll help to know which of the two (game or anime) you are referring to. |

Where does the name Beatrice originates from? Italian or English? And how is it originally pronounced?
Really needed for my translation as the suffix' in Turkish language depends on how a name is pronounced. Edit: I've found out that it probably originates from Divine Commedy; thus Italian. Still unclear on pronounciation. Last edited by Skullchukka; 2009-06-30 at 05:31. |

Daisuke Ono in the CD drama pronounces it almost perfectly then by the time you see the anime you'll have a clear idea. Anyway the vowels pronounciation is the same as in japanese, and the "ce" in italian is equal to "che". the final "e" must be spelled. The accent is on the "i".

What is prediabetes? For that matter, what is diabetes?
Both these conditions are usually diagnosed on the basis of your fasting blood glucose (BG) levels. Current standards are that a fasting BG level of 126 mg/dL or more constitutes diabetes, and anything between 100 and 125 mg/dL constitutes prediabetes.
But not long ago, you had to have a fasting BG level over 140 to be diagnosed with diabetes and a fasting BG level over 110 to be diagnosed with prediabetes. It's possible they'll continue to reduce the cutoff points even more sometime in the future.
That's the confusing thing about prediabetes, the idea of a cutoff point. Fasting BG levels can vary a lot. One day you might have a fasting level of 95, and the next it might be 105, and the next down to 99. Does that mean you are nondiabetic on Tuesday, prediabetic on Wednesday, and nondiabetic on Thursday?
Of course not. The fasting BG level is just a crude estimation of how well you're able to control your BG levels, and someone, usually a committee of experts in the disease, comes up with a cutoff point to allow physicians to decide when to diagnose someone with prediabetes or diabetes.
It's not like having a broken leg, when either your leg is broken or it isn't. Diabetes involves a continuum. When you're young, your fasting BG levels might be in the 70s. Fasting BG levels in the 80s are considered pretty normal. And as you age, your control of your BG levels usually gets worse, so even if you're not prediabetic and you had lower BG levels when you were young, you might regularly have fasting levels in the 90s as you age.
Normal BG levels are discussed here, and there's a link to a graph showing BG levels in nondiabetics. You can see how much they vary.
So is the idea of prediabetes useless? Should you just ignore a diagnosis?
Absolutely not! What prediabetes really means is that you're losing control of your BG levels, and if you don't do anything to control the situation now, there's a very good chance you'll progress to full-blown diabetes.
It's analogous to putting on weight. You may start off with normal weight, and then in middle age you put on a few pounds. You're still not overweight, but if the trend continues, you'll be overweight and eventually obese. It makes sense to try to control the situation as soon as possible, before you're really fat, or before you're diabetic.
So how can you control your BG levels? The two primary ways are controlling your weight and controlling what you eat. If you're already overweight, you already know how difficult it is to lose weight. But if you can manage to do that, your prediabetic BG levels may revert to normal. Once you've reached real diabetic BG levels, the probability of reverting to normal is much lower.
Controlling what you eat is equally important. Try to avoid "high-glycemic" foods, those that raise your BG levels really fast, meaning sugar, white flour, rice, and even starchy vegetables like potatoes and bananas. Some people would urge anyone with a diabetic tendency to go on a low-carb diet, but this is sometimes difficult to do unless you're supermotivated.
If you are supermotivated, you should know that low-carb diets seem to work especially well for weight loss in people who have a genetic tendency to overweight and type 2 diabetes. It helps keep BG levels down in everyone.
This is simply a short outline of what prediabetes is. If you want to know more, I've written a book about the condition called, not surprisingly, Prediabetes. It will tell you what causes the condition (genetics vs environment) and give some suggestions for controlling it.
In some ways, getting a diagnosis of prediabetes is a gift. It allows you to take control of your situation before it becomes irreversible. I wish I'd had such a diagnosis.

I am having a hard time deciding how to spend my time this weekend -- and particularly this Friday night.
There is a lot happening.
First, tonight is the long-anticipated "soft" opening of RedLine, an "urban laboratory" for artists. Artists participating in the residency program will show their work at the event, from 6 to 9 pm, which also includes a fashion show, tours of the new building, music, pizza and champagne. (It is actually a weekend-long event. Details can be found at their web site).
Second, there's the meet and greet with all of the artists who have been painting plein air on Milwaukee's downtown streets during the last several days. You can bid on original artworks, and 30% of the auction sale will benefit Artists Working in Education's creative programs for area children. Tonight's event is located at 610 N. Water St. from 5 to 9 pm. It is free and features refreshments and live music by artist Annie B. You can also swing by tomorrow from 10 to 4pm for an art sale.
Third, Wauwatosa's petite version of Gallery Night, the West Side Art Walk, is happening tonight from 5 to 9 pm (and tomorrow from 10 to 4pm).
And finally, John Gussenhoven will be talking about his photographic project and book, Crisscrossing America, tonight at the Harley-Davidson Museum at 7pm. He created a visual journal of his two-year, two-leg journey across the United States. The book combines arial photography with the from-the-ground imagery in a novel and revealing way.

LG Electronics may have found the ultimate tech-combo product. The N4B1, shown at CES, is a network attached storage (NAS) device with a built-in Blu-ray writer for backups.
The LG N4B1 isn't going to get any attention because of its name. But it sure stands out for what it does. LG has put together a box that includes four hot-swappable drive bays for 4TB of capacity (or more if you use 1.5TB hard drives inside). And it adds in a Blu-ray Disc writer so you can transfer content from the NAS to Blu-ray, an integrated and useful approach to data archiving and redundancy.
The beige box with silver accents features a slick, rounded industrial design. Open the front silver grille, and you have easy access to the drive bays. At front you'll find a memory card slot (for Memory Stick, Secure Digital, and xD Picture Card), and a USB port, for backing up items from USB to the NAS. Two additional ports are located on the back of the unit.
The N4B1 has built-in software that tracks what data you've transferred to device, so it only transfers what's new. It also has a version management system. And when you've transferred content to disc, it maintains a library so you can see what's on what disc.
The N4B1 supports remote access; comes set for RAID 5 by default, but has options for RAID 0, 1, 1+0, JBOD; has an e-SATA port at back, and packs gigabit ethernet. It works across Windows, Mac, and Linux systems.

Conditional Dependence in Precious Metal Prices
This study investigates the time-series properties of gold and silver spot prices. Both precious metal price series are found to exhibit time dependence and pronounced generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (GARCH) effects. Splitting the data into similar economic subperiods provides superior explanation of these effects because of the observed long-run nonconstancy of the unconditional variance. Further, the power exponential distribution, as opposed to the Student-t, is found to portray accurately the thick-tailed conditional variance that remains after the GARCH effects are removed. These findings imply that constant variance pricing models are inappropriate for securities that are based on precious metal prices. Coauthors are G. Geoffrey Booth, John J.

The Burlington City Council tonight(Mon) will be asked to censure one of its members, Tim Scott, for comments he made at a meeting two weeks ago, and later, to a Des Moines TV reporter.
Scott says the racial comments he made to the television station were taken out of context and those he made at the recent council meeting didn't contain any racial references. He told us this(Mon) morning that he plans to set the record straight tonight(Mon). Mayor Shane McCampbell, who pushed the censure resolution, said at last week's meeting that crime occurs in every community.
The Council will also give second reading to one ordinance that would mandate carrying cases for all BB and other hobby-type firearms in public, and another that would direct landlords to post city-issued rental permits in all individual apartments and rental houses. Today's(Mon) meeting gets underway at 5:30.

Also known as Malabar tamarind or Brindle berry, Garcinia Cambogia is native to Southeast Asia, and research suggests that its active ingredient, HCA, reduces the conversion of carbohydrates into stored fats by inhibiting the enzyme that facilitates this conversion.
Active individuals use HCA to both support fat loss and increase energy levels and because, unlike many other weight-loss or stimulant products, HCA doesn't cause negative side effects, such as the jitters. Studies suggest that an extract from the rind of Garcinia Cambogia, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), helps to inhibit fat production and support appetite control. Garcinia Cambogia can help melt inches off your waist, helping you to finally achieve the flat belly you've always wanted. Garcinia Cambogia has been used across Africa and Asia for centuries as a powerful natural remedy for digestive and inflammatory conditions. |

Purdue had made runs to the NCAA Tournament in five consecutive seasons and was about to make it six. Painter had the Boilermakers sustaining success in the ever-changing Big Ten.
It was on this day where Painter was locked in for eight more years at his alma mater, that following a brief flirtation with Missouri. Then, everything was looking up for the promising head coach. Now, that success seems like three decades ago, not three years ago.
It's the same coach, philosophies and beliefs. But the program's culture isn't the same for these Boilermakers. This team hasn't embraced the work ethic associated with Purdue's basketball program.
Success in West Lafayette stems from a blue-collar demeanor—perfecting the little details of the game, cleaning the floor for loose balls, but above all, dedicating to defense. It takes extra hours in the gym, then execution of the scouting report in games.
Painter has tried to put his players in position to win. Yet, he's become Charlie Brown's teacher over the past two years. The Boilermakers' efforts are often lethargic. On several occasions, the players have admitted not being ready to play or failing to follow the coach's instructions.
Building a winning program is no easy task, but it's something Painter accomplished in his first seven seasons as head coach. He took the values instilled as a player and assistant for Gene Keady, learned from coaching mentors like Tom Reiter and Bruce Weber, and developed his own unique approach.
Players like Robbie Hummel, E'Twaun Moore and JaJuan Johnson bought in with what the coach was preaching, backing it with each practice and game. The Boilermakers won a pair of Big Ten titles and saw NCAA Tournament success.
Where did these victories go, and who's to blame? The answer is Painter.
This two-year lull Purdue has fallen into can be tagged to recruiting misses—not a lack of talent, but rather a flawed culture. Painter has been the first one to admit this. His notable line from a frustrating 2013 offseason was that the program needed players to register on the "give-a-damn meter." It just hasn't happened yet.
There was shuffling of the roster, with three departures and two fifth-year arrivals joining a talented freshman class. But the negative principles remained in the program.
Painter isn't going to be fired after this season, and he certainly doesn't deserve to be. His success as a head coach speaks for itself. But the burden of the blame falls on his shoulders. The players' falters become the head coach's problem.
That eight-year extension was a bold commitment to Painter's future at Purdue. He earned the chance to bring the Boilermakers out of this hole.
But with each loss and crushing blow to the beleaguered Boilermakers, Painter's seat will get hotter.

Meeting Greg Davis - Maker's Mark Master Distiller
Maker's Mark is one of the best known distilleries in America. It is the most southernly in the state of Kentucky and is located in Loretto, Marion County. Maker's Mark is large with a capacity of 8 million litres per year (this dwarfs most distilleries elsewhere in the world) and is one of the oldest in America, having been founded in 1805. The original name of Star Hill Farm Distillery was changed to Maker's Mark in the 1950s when new owner Bill Samuels decided to revamp the whole organisation. He changed the recipe and the combination of grains used as he wanted to create a premium bourbon rather than the economic ones that were flooding the market following the end of the Prohibition period. It is now one of the best selling American whiskies in the world.
Following a welcoming Maker's Mint Julep cocktail, the main part of the evening (apart from the huge dinner!) was one of the most interesting tastings that we have attended. We were presented with four glasses which contained Maker's Mark whisky at different stages of its development (pictured, below) - new make spirit or 'white dog' as they call it in America, under matured, fully matured and over matured. As Maker's Mark only release their regular bottling and the limited edition Maker's 46, this was an innovative way for us to taste a number of samples and see the difference that age gives the spirit. We have included our brief tasting notes for each sample below - all were presented at 45% ABV.
White Dog (far left)
This is marketed and sold as Star Hill Whisky and is only available at the distillery shop. It is new make spirit that has come from the stills at 65% ABV, before being cut down to 45% ABV. It has had no maturation. The spirit is clear and has a fresh, fruity nose with a buttery, dough-like background note. On the palate, there is plenty of tangy, hot spice and it is incredibly fruity (think of crisp, green apple) and juicy. This clashes with a mouth-coating, rich and creamy feel that is again buttery and a little yeasty. The finish is hot, burning and spicy with plenty of oat-like cereal notes.
Under Matured (second left)
This is spirit that has been aged in casks for roughly two and a half years. The colour is golden yellow and the nose is robust, very woody and packed with vanilla and wood spice. The palate is uncomplicated and very oaky up front, with plenty of sweet vanilla, dry wood spice and fresh coconut. A pleasant tangy citrus note comes through, as does a heavy yeast note. The finish begins sweetly with a touch of honey and vanilla, before becoming very dry and woody. The heavy yeasty note also lingers.
Fully Matured (second right)
This is the Maker's Mark which is released on to the market. The whisky is matured for an average of five and three quarter years, and is selected when the flavour profile is correct. The colour is golden amber and the nose is rich and sweet with a lovely combination of vanilla, honey, coconut and spiced orange. The palate is equally rich and sweet, feeling creamy with the aromas from the nose replicated and joined by dry wood spices, oak and further tangy orange zest. The finish is sweet before leaving you with an oaky, drier freshness. Read our previous review of Maker's Mark with more expansive tasting notes by clicking here.
Over Matured (far right)
This whisky has been maturing for almost double the amount of time that the regular Maker's Mark does (about 11 years). This makes it quite old for a bourbon, which normally come in under 10 years of age. The colour is dark amber and the nose is full of vanilla and heavy oak spice (think of pencil shavings). The palate is initially feisty with plenty of drying wood spices and chilli-like heat, before it softens to reveal lovely sweet, creamy vanilla, honey and zesty orange notes. A late hit of burnt caramel leads in to a bittersweet finish that has notes of robust cereal and spiced zest.
As we sat after dinner and enjoyed a couple of very good Maker's Mark cocktails (Manhattans served either on ice as pictured or straight up), we reflected on the line up with a couple of others in the group. It was very interesting to try the same whisky, starting with its purest form and then seeing what Greg and Maker's Mark consider "too young", "just right" and "too old". This was a new concept to us, but having thought about it this was essentially the same as trying a new make spirit followed by different ages of a single malt or blended whisky. The White Dog and Under Matured were a little rough but it was good to see the signature characteristics of the initial spirit. The regular Maker's Mark is lovely, if you prefer your bourbons on the richer and sweeter side. The general consensus of ourselves (and the guests surrounding us) was that the Over Matured version was actually pretty good stuff, despite what Greg said about it!

Great read Matt. I like your last comment. While I haven't tasted anything Maker's would call "overly matured" I can imagine it would be quite good indeed. In fact I imagine it would be better even.
Maker's is beautifully made stuff, but it's it's a bit flat an one dimensional. Maker's 46 helps to elevate the spice character, and is a big improvement in my opinion, but wheated bourbon has this amazing transformation as it gets older. It goes from soft and round to far more complex at around 10-12 years.
I would urge Maker's to release some older product. I am not an age snob by any means, but I would love to try it and bet it would be excellent. - October 13, 2011 at 9:57 PM
My first taste of Star Hill came via my brother who trained cutin'horses for a Gentleman named Charlie Cord in Sun Valley,Idaho. The story was, the Cord family (yes, the Cord and Auburn motor vehicles) had invested in Star Hil in the late thirties/early forties and had a few cases stashed away of the product in Beverly Hills,California. The formats were pint bottles and the bottling date on what I sampled/drank was 1947. To this day, I've not sipped a finer bourbon-and I love Maker's 46. So, when I googled Star Hill and the White Dog product came up, I was a tad disappointed. The Maker's 46 closly resembles the '47 Star Hill I tasted and I wonder if the original Star Hill recipe contributed to the product we know today as Maker's Mark.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) |
Shrinking penis01/31/2008 |
Since having my prostate removed (not cancer but nearly), my penis in its flacid state is getting very small and I wondered why. I still get erections and I think the orginal size of the erection is the same. I am 69 years old.
What kind of prostate surgery or procedure did you have? It appears that the penis does shrink after radical prostatectomy. It is unclear as to why.
You may wish to consider using a vacuum pump daily or sildenafil daily to maintain length.

01 May 2009
WOBURN, MA - May 18 - Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of Internet threat management solutions that protect against all forms of malicious software, has been awarded a U.S. patent (# 7 526 516) for a technology that detects unauthorized modifications of data.
Unsanctioned modification of data - intentional or accidental - can result in data distortion and outright data loss, while unauthorized software code modifications can lead to program execution errors or a user unknowingly running malicious code by opening executable files modified by malware.
Existing data protection methodologies use hashing, utilizing digital signatures or tracking the most recent modifications made to a file. However, these methods are too resource-intensive and unreliable to be standardized across all the files on a computer system. Additionally, many malicious programs alter time-stamps to thwart modification tracking efforts, causing infected files to remain undetected and allowed to propagate.
The advanced data protection technology developed by Kaspersky Lab allows users and administrators to check file integrity reliably and quickly, without significant resource consumption. The technology is based on the interception of requests to change timestamps for one or more files. These requests are tracked for each file and stored in a database.
Upon entry into the database, the information is then provided to a special module, usually a component of the antivirus program, which compares the timestamp update counter with the relevant file timestamp. Changes to the timestamp update counter which are not accompanied by the relevant changes to the actual timestamp indicate file modification and possible infection. The antivirus program can then scan the file for malicious code or display an alert.
This method and its software has been patented by Kaspersky Lab to provide quick and reliable tracking of file modifications, triggering antivirus scans to prevent execution of malicious code.
Nadia Kashchenko, Chief Intellectual Property Counsel
Kaspersky Lab
"The greatest advantage of this method is that it is fast and allows files to be scanned with minimal consumption of system resources. The technology makes the antivirus program's operation more transparent to the user without sacrificing its high level of protection. This is a very significant invention that is unique to Kaspersky Lab and it has already been implemented in the company's products."
About Kaspersky Lab
Kaspersky Lab delivers the world's most immediate protection against IT security threats, including viruses, spyware, crimeware, hackers, phishing, and spam. Kaspersky Lab products provide superior detection rates and the industry's fastest outbreak response time for home users, SMBs, large enterprises and the mobile computing environment.

LOS ANGELES -- The comeback Kings did it again in the Stanley Cup Finals, and this one was doubly impressive.
Captain Dustin Brown redirected Willie Mitchell's shot 10:26 into the second overtime, and the Los Angeles Kings outlasted the New York Rangers 5-4 Saturday night to take a 2-0 series lead.
Marian Gaborik tied it with 12:24 left in regulation for the Kings, who rallied from another two-goal deficit in their latest exhibition of clutch comeback hockey.
Rallying from a two-goal deficit for the fourth time in their past five games, they still moved halfway to a series victory and their second Stanley Cup championship in three years.
"It's not the place we want to be, to have to climb out all the time," said Mitchell, who also scored his first playoff goal in more than two years.
"Sooner or later, it is going to bite you. I guess that's the great part about it is we find a way to battle back. We've got some work to do again."
Game 3 is Monday night at Madison Square Garden.
In their third straight overtime game, the Kings traded scoring chances with New York in two nail-biting overtime periods before Mitchell teed up a long shot.
Brown deflected it under Henrik Lundqvist's glove arm, ending the longest finals game in Rangers history and nearly the longest playoff game in Kings history.
"You want to create what we call noise there," Mitchell said. "Hank plays so deep in his net, and if you can get some traffic and throw some pucks at the net when a guy plays deep like that, sometimes you're lucky enough to get one past a world-class goalie."
The Kings are making their own remarkable brand of noise, all right. They haven't led during any of their past three games, going to overtime each night, but they still finished off Chicago in the Western Conference finals and took a big series lead on the Rangers, who twice fell agonizingly short.
"When you play five periods, the difference is not very big between winning and losing," Lundqvist said. "We came up short, and now we have to go back to New York and turn this thing around."
Lundqvist made 39 saves for New York, and Jonathan Quick had 34 for Los Angeles. Both goalies made a handful of stellar overtime stops.
Lundqvist and the Rangers were furious about Los Angeles' third goal. Dwight King got the comeback rolling when Matt Greene's slap shot hit him and went in while King fell on top of Lundqvist, who thought an interference penalty should have been called.
"I'm extremely disappointed on that call -- or non-call," Lundqvist said. "I mean, they've got to be consistent with that rule. ... They score a goal, and I can't even move. It's extremely frustrating for them to get life like that. After that, it's a different game."
Jarret Stoll also scored for the Kings, who made up for a mistake-filled performance with their usual big finish.
Mats Zuccarello and Derick Brassard had a goal and an assist apiece for the Rangers, who had three two-goal leads in Game 2. Ryan McDonagh and Martin St. Louis also scored, but New York couldn't finish another strong effort.
The Rangers are heading home in a big hole in their quest for their first Stanley Cup title in 20 years. But despite their propensity for blowing leads, they've also proven this series won't be a walkover for the deep, experienced Kings.
After testing the Kings throughout the opener, New York played its smart, counterattacking style to great effect in Game 2, only to fall victim to another momentum-draining comeback.
The Kings fell behind 2-0 in the first period for the second straight game, and they trailed 4-2 entering the third period before King's disputed goal. McDonagh then gave the puck to Gaborik in front, and the Kings' late-season acquisition beat Lundqvist for his 13th goal of a phenomenal postseason.
Neither team played cautiously in overtime, trading good scoring chances and three fruitless power plays in the first extra period. King nearly ended it with a short-handed one-timer, and Chris Kreider failed to score on a breakaway.
After blowing a 2-0 lead in the opener, New York had three different two-goal leads in Game 2. The Kings still came roaring back.
McDonagh scored on a long slap shot and assisted on Zuccarello's tap-in goal in the first period, quieting the Los Angeles crowd. Stoll scored on a broken play early in the second after King jumped on Brad Richards' turnover, but St. Louis answered with his first goal of the finals on a power play.
Mitchell exemplified the Kings' inconsistency during an 11-second stretch of the second period. Right after the veteran defenseman trimmed the lead to 3-2 with his first playoff goal since April 11, 2012, he whiffed on the puck behind Los Angeles' net, allowing Zuccarello to pass to Brassard for a score.
Los Angeles rallied with a fortunate bounce off King, although the Rangers wanted an interference penalty on the bruising forward, who was tussling with McDonagh when he fell on Lundqvist.
NOTES: D John Moore returned to New York's lineup after his two-game suspension for a hit to the head of Montreal's Dale Weise during the Eastern Conference finals. Raphael Diaz was scratched. ... Los Angeles scratched D Robyn Regehr for the 15th consecutive game. Regehr appears to be fully recovered from his knee injury in Game 1 of the second round against Anaheim on May 3, but the Kings stuck with Greene. ... Britney Spears, Jimmy Kimmel, Gene Simmons and Steve Nash attended the game.
