text: Thailand's TCC Assets Offers To Buy Fraser And Neave - Update 9/13/2012 2:10 AM ET TCC Assets Limited, a special purpose vehicle connected to Thai billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, has launched a mandatory conditional S$8.88 per share offer for Fraser and Neave Limited, or F&N, after TCC acquired 19.5 million shares in F&N, showed a regulatory filing. The offer is estimated to be valued at $7.2 billion.The offer is likely to see a takeover battle for F&N's interests in Tiger beer maker Asia Pacific Breweries Limited, or APB, for which Dutch brewer Heineken NV (HINKY.PK) has made a S$5.4 billion offer. F&N is scheduled to hold its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on September 28 to vote on the offer from Heineken. TCC's recently acquired shares represent 1.37 percent of the total issued F&N shares and they were bought for S$8.80 to S$8.88 per share.Following this, TCC, along with some other entities including ThaiBev, own, control or have agreed to acquire 433.20 million F&N shares, representing 30.36 percent of the firm's total issued shares. As per law, acquiring 30 percent or more of the voting rights in F&N would lead to an obligation of ThaiBev to make an offer for F&N.TCC is a special purpose vehicle owned by Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi and Khunying Wanna Sirivadhanabhakdi, who are also the controlling shareholders of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited or ThaiBev. TCC is a concert party of ThaiBev.ThaiBev has an indirect interest in F&N through its direct wholly-owned subsidiary InternationalBeverage Holdings Limited, or IBHL, which owns 412.42 million F&N shares, representing 28.9 percent of F&N.Thapana Sirivadhanabhakdi, President and Chief Executive Officer of ThaiBev, said, "We believe the offer represents an opportunity for F&N shareholders to realise the value of their investment in cash and to make a complete exit from F&N. We hold F&N in high regard and we believe its long-established track record and success in its core businesses will be beneficial to our Group".United Overseas Bank Limited and DBS Bank, as financial advisers and lenders to TCC in connection with the offer, has confirmed that sufficient financial resources are available to satisfy the proposal.ThaiBev said it would not incur additional debt or expend any funds to acquire more F&N shares or to make an offer for F&N. by RTT Staff WriterFor comments and feedback: email@example.com News Clunkers and Blockbusters: The 10 Most Expensive Movies in history Biotech Stocks Facing FDA Decision In April Top Ten Female CEOs Crack The Glass Ceiling

Duchessic by birra del borgo. Saison blended with a lambic. Really really good.
Abbaye st Bon chien grand reserve. BFMs abbaye de st Bon chien aged in oak barrels. Like an odd combination of a sour bier de garde with a bourbon barrel aged quad or something. More alcoholic, lots of toasty vanilla coconut chocolate notes, on top of the sour bier de garde. Same brewery as the sour saison i posted earlier.
L'amoreuse by trois dames. Apparently is actually the l'amoreuse no 2 rouge. Lambic aged with Pinot noir grapes. Quite good. Has a nice body to it. Richer, fuller, more chocolate notes than a typical lambic.
Grand dames by trois dames. An oud bruin. More sour an complex then the rodenbachs I've had. I really enjoyed this. Would drink again.

Welcome to The Virtualization Practice's week-long coverage of VMworld US 2015. Tune in all week for our daily recap of the major announcements and highlights from the world's premier virtualization and cloud conference.
VMworld US 2015 continued in force yesterday, beginning with a long but powerful general session/keynote talk. Carl Eschenbach, VMware's president and COO, set the stage for a slew of announcements around VMware's "One Cloud, Any Application, Any Device" approach to computing and a seamless federation of all types of clouds, supporting both traditional and new cloud-native applications. A variety of VMware leaders joined him on stage to talk about the various aspects of these announcements and how they mesh with their overall strategy. While each of these areas could give rise a whole series of posts by themselves, I'll summarize the major points.

Subject: | SSA's Most Popular Baby Names of 2011 will be released on Monday |
Author: | Phoebe (Authenticated as Kate) |
Date: | May 11, 2012 at 7:10:55 PM |
http://www.ssa.gov/pressoffice/pr/babynames-postponed-pr.htmlSuspense at Social Security to Continue
Today Show Release of Most Popular Baby Names Postponed Until Monday
The Social Security Administration has delayed its increasingly popular annual announcement of most popular baby names, which traditionally has occurred the Friday before Mother's Day. The agency will postpone the release of this year's rankings until Commissioner Astrue's Monday morning appearance on NBC's Today Show.
Agency officials suggest that people use the time on Friday and over the weekend to visit www.socialsecurity.gov and check out the Extra Help with Medicare prescription drug costs that's available to people with limited income and resources, as well as the new online version of the Social Security Statement, a retirement planning tool which shows workers a history of their past earnings and estimates of their future benefits.
Agency officials also apologize to any expectant mothers (and nervous fathers!) who were anxiously waiting for the new list to choose a name for their child before the baby arrives.

text: Banana-Based Pad Maker Elizabeth Scharpf Wants Rwandan Women Educated. Period.Fast Company9/30/10 5:04pmFiled to: Period pieceRwandaElizabeth scharpfperiodsmenstruationPadsSanitary padsFast CompanyJenara nerenbergRepublished38EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkElizabeth Scharpf, founder of Sustainable Health Enterprises (SHE), is partnering with networks of women in Rwanda to make and sell sanitary pads made from banana leaves.AdvertisementEighteen percent of girls in Rwanda miss, on average, 35 days of school every year (and up to 50 days of school or work each year) due to their periods and ineffective pads and the embarrassment and ridicule that ensues. SHE, in effect, builds confidence, education, and income—and even creates jobs for women in the cheap pad-making franchises."Menstruation is one of those things that people don't really want to have anything to do with," Scharpf tells Fast Company. Most of the population is "left hanging after donation supplies run out."AdvertisementIn all, Scharpf expects to reach a million women with the she28 program.The idea has earned her a spot as one of 10 designers nominaterd for the Curry Stone Design Prize. Scharpf herself is not a designer, per se, but she does represent that new breed of "systems-design" thinkers, the kind that crop out of RISD, MIT and IDEO and work across disciplinary lines. Last year, she was invited to participate in the Aspen Design Summit, where she discovered that what she and the other participants had in common was that they were all "problem-solvers," Scharpf says.It was a frustration she felt in graduate school at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and the Harvard Business School—that not enough indicators were being improved in the development field—that ultimately drove Sharpf to investigate, on-the-ground, a practical market-driven approach to improving the lives of those at the bottom of the pyramid. "I did a global scan," says Scharpf.When she and her classmates went to the country, they started digging around for the causes and what could be done about the problem. They experimented with a host of materials to test for their absorbency and, in true human-centered design form, they asked questions. Questions they thought couldn't be asked but were welcomed by local women, such as why a girl's period was getting in the way of her education. What Scharpf and her team found was that a lack of sanitary pads was not the only issue—there was a serious lack of information and education on health and hygiene in general.AdvertisementSponsoredAfter identifying the banana leaf as a viable option, from there SHE was born and has evolved into a hybrid business model that involves health education services and micro-business linkages to distribute the banana leaf pads. "We're not a product company," Scharpf is quick to say. "We're more of a services company."Rwanda had four specific attributes that made Scharpf want to roll out the SHE product there—evidence of need, organized networks such as community health workers and women's groups, business-friendly policies, and the fact that the country is relatively small."We came up with a quilt of people with different skills and experiences," Scharpf says of putting together her team.Scharpf often shows a slide to her teammates of a line jetting up and down and she asks them to guess what it represents. The answer? Her moods over the past couple of years, which she says is the nature of being an entrepreneur. But what drives Scharpf is the personal side. "Inclusiveness is what drives me."And her goal has always been to "equalize the playing field in terms of access to opportunity."AdvertisementScharpf represents the new cross-disciplinary social innovator—with experience across sectors and in diverse countries—the kind that makes us question what the word "design" means. And to be nominated for a design prize is further testament to just how evolved and expansionary the field—if you can call it a field—has become.Republished with permission from FastCompany.com.

Lung Transplantation |
How to Support a Lung Transplant Candidate04/10/2009 |
My sister is going through the process of being evaluated for a lung transplant. How can our family support her during this time?
A vital part in the evaluation of any potential candidate for an organ transplant is the assessment of the psychosocial and family support. Recipients of organ transplants require considerable assistance, especially in the first few months following the procedure. As a family member it is important to understand your potential role in your relative's recovery process, and you may wish to focus your questions to obtain this information.

The television highlights will show Luke Ridnour missing a short, off-balance baseline jumper as time expired Sunday, Feb. 24, in the Timberwolves' 100-99 loss to Golden State at Target Center.
But that is not the reason the Wolves fell one game below .500 at home (13-14) and lost for the 13th time in 17 games.
There are far more reasons for Sunday's loss than Ridnour's failed attempt. At the top of the list were Golden State's six offensive rebounds and 10 second-chance points in the fourth quarter, two critical categories that helped the Warriors overcome a nine-point deficit and disappoint the crowd of 18,033.
Even more troubling for Wolves coach Rick Adelman were the turnovers his team committed on three straight possessions late in the fourth quarter that kept Golden State in position to win.
Two of the turnovers were offensive fouls committed by Nikola Pekovic and Derrick Williams. The other was an ill-advised pass from Ricky Rubio to Pekovic that sailed out of bounds.
"We have to take care of the ball to make sure we get a shot," Adelman said. "We didn't do that. Sometimes we were forcing the issue. We have to learn from those things."

When a Pathfinder team in the godless nation of Rahadoum disappears, the Pathfinder Society sends the PCs to investigate. Deep beneath the sands of the small village of Wadi al-Hesr, a long imprisoned evil—responsible in part for the destruction of an ancient empire—now stirs and threatens the entire region with a deadly plague. Can the Pathfinders survive a sinister game of cat-and-mouse and escape with their lives?


text: This was my third attempt to bag Gilbert this year. My first was back in the winter with skis. I got ill approaching Dollar Lake after skiing from the temporary trailhead (road closed because of snow). The next day I couldn't eat and decided to head out. The next attempt was in August, which was halted because of my wonderful FIRESTONE tire that decided to shred all over I-80. So I thought third time is a charm and off I went on Friday the 29th around 5:00 pm. After another flat tire (near Evanston - which no one in town can fix) I finally arrived at the trailhead around 9:00 pm. I lay down the back seats of my truck, ate, read, listen to rain and some damn close lightning. So the alarm didn't go off but luckily a few fellow hikers walking by the truck woke me up around 6:30 am. I ate and hit the sunny and cool trail at 7:00 am. Passed a handful of hikers along the way but basically had the trail to myself. Other than almost skating off the log bridge at Elkhorn crossing, it was going as planned. I decided because of the rain we had to avoid the streams crossing the trail before Dollar Lake and start heading East to the tree line. I ate and filled two bottles with water and started the climb up the ridge and to the peak. If looking from Kings Peak the terrain looks more like a meadow from 12,100 to the peak. It is anything but that. The climb was through rocks and small boulders. This usually isn't much of a problem except for the few inches of snow that decided to fall the evening before. After eating again (I'm a pig) I noticed some black clouds rolling from the West and decided to double-time it off the peak. I seem to have an issue with high voltage when an insulated wire is not controlling it. I stopped a few times to chit-chat with others on the way down the main trail and made it back to the car at 3:00 pm. I was going to try a different decent off of Gilbert to the North but forgot the map and compass. I had studied it enough but the black clouds and getting a late start I thought the same way in is the best way out.

Mirchi Shiva and Priya Anand's upcoming venture looks like a predictable tale as the couple throws eggs and cakes at each other in this teaser
Comedy is definitely the flavour of the season in Kollywood. Having tasted success with Oru Kal Oru Kannadi, his first film as a hero, Udhayanidhi Stalin is producing Vanakkam Chennai, which seems to be on the same lines, going by the first teaser.
With Vanakkam Chennai, Udhayanidhi's wife Kiruthiga turns director as well.
The movie stars Mirchi Shiva, with his established reputation for comedy, and paired opposite him is Priya Anand, who seems to have firmly planted herself in Kollywood these days. The teaser is set to a pacy number by Anirudh of Kolaveri di fame and shows Shiva and Priya in a major food fight, throwing everything from cakes to eggs at each other.
Even with a newcomer at the helm, you can't help thinking this is going to be the tried and tested kinda romcom that Kollywood has been churning out lately.

New 'Hobbit' Photos Give First Look at Martin Freeman as Bilbo
It's a good time to be a fan of Middle Earth. Next week, Warner Bros. new Extended Edition Blu-ray box set comes out, but today something even a little more special is ready for your early morning eyes: your first look at the characters of Peter Jackson's new two-part film epic, The Hobbit.
Yes, back when production started to really gear into place, we got a look at a few of the sets, but today Entertainment Weekly has shared our first look at Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins. A whole cast of other hobbits dwarves can be seen behind him as he stands in the hallway of his familiar home, Bag End, but it'll take a keen Hobbit-fan to identify them all.
But we also have our first production photo of Gandalf (pipe in hand, of course), as well as a new behind-the-scenes photo of Jackson giving Freeman some on-set direction.
Which one of these people is in the movie Jack Reacher: Never Go Back?

Police Who Illegally Broke Into Gizmodo Journalist's House Deride Seized E-mails as "Juvenile"
The saga of the lost iPhone prototype -- the 2010 incident at least, not the most recent one -- has finally concluded. On Tuesday, Brian Hogan (who allegedly found the iPhone 4 prototype in a Redwood City bar) and Sage Wallower (who allegedly helped Hogan contact various web sites about the find) pleaded no contest to misdemeanor theft and were sentenced to probation, 40 hours of community service, and $250 each in restitution payments to Apple.
As part of the criminal investigation surrounding the incident last year, agents with the Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team (REACT), a "partnership of 17 local, state, and federal agencies" focused on computer-related crime in the Bay Area, executed a warrant and raided the home of Gizmodo editor Jason Chen, searching for evidence related to Gizmodo's scoop about the lost phone. As we repeatedly pointed out at the time, regardless of whether Chen or Gizmodo could have been charged with any crime related to obtaining and discussing the phone, state and federal law plainly barred the issuance and execution of the search warrant directed at journalist-held information "obtained or prepared in gathering, receiving or processing of information for communication to the public." While never discussing the matter directly, the San Mateo D.A.'s office tacitly conceded as much three months later when they petitioned the court to withdraw the warrant.
It turns out that prosecutors concluded that neither Chen nor Gizmodo did anything wrong after all. Legally, that is. Speaking to CNET.com earlier this week, San Mateo County District Attorney Steven Wagstaffe said that there was not sufficient evidence to charge anyone associated with the tech site with "possession of stolen property" or "extortion." Nevertheless, Wagstaffe took it upon himself to deride the quality of the improperly-seized, unpublished correspondence between the Gizmodo editors, describing it as "juvenile."
"It was obvious that they were angry with the company about not being invited to some press conference or some big Apple event. We expected to see a certain amount of professionalism--this is like 15-year-old children talking," Wagstaffe said. "There was so much animosity, and they were very critical of Apple. They talked about having Apple right where they wanted them and they were really going to show them."
San Mateo law enforcement officers are in no position to comment on professionalism in this matter. Illegally breaking into the home of a journalist and seizing his property is profoundly troubling, especially as law enforcement shows no apparent sign of remorse or of learning from their mistake. Indeed, one cannot avoid feeling a sense of deja vu upon hearing the recent news of the questionable police-escorted search of a San Francisco home by Apple employees apparently looking for another lost iPhone prototype. As it was their agents who did not comply with the law, Wagstaffe and the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office owe Chen and Gizmodo an apology, not snide commentary, now that the matter has concluded.

Diff program/library for Java
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a good diff program or library written in Java? I need a program/library that can handle creating and applying diffs, preferably for both text and binary files. If it's open-source, that's even better!
Thanks in advance,
Singing Boyo
Edit: I have found the DiffUtils library on Google Code, but I'm not sure it's really what I want...Last edited by Singing Boyo; 06-05-2010 at 02:06 AM.
If the above doesn't make sense to you, ignore it, but remember it - might be useful!
And if you just randomly taught yourself to program, well... you're just like me!

I think the flow chart in the booklet accompanying the TRT 2d ed. is incorrect. I cross referenced to the flow chart in Volume 1 of Lardy's Retriever Journal articles and the flow chart reflects what is shown in the dvds.
In the big scheme of things I don't know that it matters that much. There is probably only one or two days separating the two drills. With my last two dogs Hank and Rowdy (by Pirate), their casting was so good that I didn't get a chance to do indirect pressure at that point in their progress.

They beat Croatia thanks to a Jesús Navas goal in the 88th minute (0-1)
Croatia | 0 |
Spain | 1 |
Scorer: Jesús Navas 88
Venue: PGE Arena (Gdansk). 39,000.
Referee: Wolfgang Stark (Germany).
Lineups |
Croatia: 1. Stipe Pletikosa; 21. Domagoj Vida (9. Nikica Jelavic 66), 5. Vedran Corluka, 13. Gordon Schildenfeld, 2. Ivan Strinic; 7. Ivan Rakitic, 8. Ognjen Vukojevic (22. Eduardo da Silva 81); 11. Darijo Srna, 10. Luka Modric, 6. Danijel Pranjic (20. Ivan Perisic 66); 17. Mario Mandzukic. |
Spain: 1. Iker Casillas; 17. Alvaro Arbeloa, 15. Sergio Ramos, 3. Gerard Pique, 18. Jordi Alba; 8. Xavi (11. Alvaro Negredo 89), 16. Sergio Busquets, 14. Xabi Alonso; 21. David Silva (10. Cesc Fabregas 73), 9. Fernando Torres (22. Jesús Navas 61), 6. Andres Iniesta. |
Spain qualified for the knock out stages as leaders of Group C, having beaten Croatia 0-1 in a distinctly ordinary game, in which they were unable to break the deadlock until the 88th minute. Vicente del Bosque's side struggled for much of a game, in which a Croat goal would have knocked out the defending champions.
Spain was unable to play its usual touch football or break down the opponents' defence. They had to wait until two minutes before the final whistle for Cesc Fábregas and Iniesta to conjure up the only goal of the game, scored by Jesús Navas.
Spaniards and Croats both knew from the 35th minute, when Cassano put Italy ahead against Ireland, that there could be no deal for a draw. From that moment Bilic's men were out of Euro 2012, and they risked it all in the second half when they realised that the only way to qualify for the quarter finals was by beating Spain.
Saves from Iker Casillas, specifically from Rakitic's header, kept Spain alive in the game. Croatia was unhappy with the performance of German referee, Stark who they believe missed two penalties, one on Mandzukic by Sergio Ramos and another on Corluka by Busquets.

How To Dry Mushroom
Drying mushrooms is a process worth learning indeed! You can certainly preserve a huge lot of them by drying to keep a supply of mushrooms always ready. There is nothing difficult about the procedure. In fact, once you read through these steps on how to dry mushrooms you will be pleasantly surprised to find yourself becoming a master of drying mushrooms within a very short period. Read on for details.
How to Dry Mushrooms
- Examine your mushrooms closely for dirt and grime and clean them thoroughly with the aid of a small brush. You can also wipe them clean with a damp towel cloth and allow them to dry completely before you begin the procedure.
- It is easier to dry a single type of mushroom at a time. Do not mix all te varieties together as they might dry at different times leaving you unsatisfied.
- Cut the mushrooms into thick slices measuring 1/8 inches in thickness.
- Spread the slices uniformly on a baking sheet and set your oven between the temperatures of 100-150 degrees F.
- Place the tray within the oven and watch the mushrooms closely for signs of becoming dry. They are likely to be done within an hour. They are dry once the mushrooms turn brown and brittle.
- Allow them to cool properly by placing on wire racks and store in airtight containers which you need to place in a cool and dark corner of your room.
- You can actually preserve them for as long as two years if you get to store them properly.
Handy tips
You can also dry the mushrooms naturally by placing them on your windowsill and letting the sun dry them. The process might take about 2 to 3 days to complete.
Follow these steps on drying mushrooms and you will be able to whip up exotic dishes at a short notice, surprising your friends and family.

Daily Journal
TUPELO – As debris-removal trucks drove away last week, a former math teacher from south Mississippi arrived – a secret weapon to long-term tornado recovery.
Clay Brown, a teacher turned counselor, has committed a year to coordinating recovery. A survivor of Hurricane Camille in 1969 and recovery leader 36 years later, she felt drawn to Northeast Mississippi.
Brown believes the recovery committee will help people without sources of assistance as they regroup, but the tornado's shadow will remain much longer.
"A year will make a big difference," she said. "The scars will last a lot longer."
Residents of areas hit hardest are discussing the "new normal," when they try to resume routines with much of their surroundings changed. Those not impacted, however, easily forget about recovery.
Tupelo, Lee and Itawamba counties' long-term recovery committee intends to provide resources for those still in need and keep reminding the larger community to continue helping.
"It just kind of slips away from you," said Jack Reed Jr., chairman of the long-term committee. "People tend to forget there are others who continue to struggle to get back."
The committee is a loose network of individuals and more than a dozen nonprofit, faith-based, government and community organizations. It has eight subcommittees: construction, finance, case management, unmet needs, community assessment, crisis counseling and spiritual care, volunteer coordination and communications.
Paid caseworkers funded through federal resources will help individuals navigate finding the right place to meet specific needs. Brown's mission involves coordination of caseworkers and reminding people of opportunities waiting.
Brown's message to the community includes looking beyond the destructive forces to uncover opportunities.
"There's going to be a lot of improvements that people didn't see before the tornado," she said.

Yeah, good thing you had that magnet - or the punishment would have been worse than being banished to the cellar. Although it could have been a powerful incentive to buy all barbless hooks - kids easier to release that way
I was actually working on a stream doing creel surveys and checking compliance of anglers w/regard to licenses and use of only barbless hooks. One of the perks was that we had some time to fish between creel runs which was great. Anyway, there I was all geeked up and rushing to rig-up and fish as I could see a number of nice trout in this roadside pool. I got all set-up snuck down to the water and tied on a dryfly. I was still holding the fly as I cast - not too smart, but like I said I was rushing. Well the fly had some problem straightening on the backcast, because it was buried in my right ring finger. To compound the situation - I was in violation, because it still had the barb on it. I slunk into the local hospital as it was down the street after trying to use my leatherman. Should have just avoided the leatherman, as the hook was rusty and broke off in my finger - leaving me unable to get a grip to push it through. Anyway, it is funny now, heck it was funny then - but it was emabarassing, and they charged $140 to fix my stupidity. Never did catch a fish out of that hole either.

I found it annoying when, during a September visit to the Kalahari indoor park in Wisconsin Dells, renting a locker proved to be a pain (we couldn't bill the locker to our room the way we would a hotel-restaurant meal). The workers instead told us to just leave our stuff, including our room keys, on a chair inside--"Everyone does it," they said. Anyway, I was excited to learn that KeyLime Cove (a new waterpark resort in Gurnee, Ill., that opens on February 29) will have radio-frequency identification wristband technology. That means you don't have to carry a room key or cash (to rent a locker with, say). You just use your wristband. The resort will also take photos of you going down the slides, and ID you by the wristband, so you can look at the pix later. The resort, by the way, is the "brainchild" of Dave Anderson, founder of Rainforest Cafe restaurant chain.

Nethack sometimes saves the level on which you die (including your stuff, what killed you, and your ghost) in a "bones file". These files get loaded into later games. If you're the only player on your system, you'll only get bones files you created yourself. With Hearse, you can automatically exchange bones files with other Nethack players. When run, it uploads any new bones files it finds on your system, then downloads any bones files the server feels like giving it.

Some people in Paris were apparently unsatisfied with the post-Christmas sales at the Apple store in Paris, France, so they decided to give themselves a five-finger discount to the tune of $1.3 million. Now that's some extreme couponing.
A few hours before midnight Monday night, the Wall Street Journal reports the Apple Store located close to the building that hosts the Paris Opera was broken into by a group of masked men. TheTelegraph reports they forced their way past a janitor as he was about to leave. They didn't go for any of the products on display, or the cash in the registers or safes, though. They went straight for the boxed inventory and loaded it all onto a truck waiting nearby.

Fall Out Boy With Cobra Starship, All Time Low, Metro Station, and Hey Monday.
On Chicago outfit Fall Out Boy's latest album, last year's Folie a Deux, singer Patrick Stump's gloriously thick, wondrously bombastic, and defiantly mouthy vocals remain ill-served by bassist Pete Wentz's melodramatic lyrics. Let's be honest: His voice deserves better than the eye-roll-inducing "The best of us can find happiness in misery" (from "I Don't Care") or "I'm in love with my own sins" (from recent single "America's Suitehearts").
Still, consider those bum lines vestigial remnants of Fall Out Boy's since-discarded Emo of Christmases Past — you know, back when they screamed and self-deprecated and threatened suicide over girlfriends and almost-girlfriends. Last year's Infinity on High continued the band's transformation into a chart-topping beast more concerned with hooks than making young men weep.Their aesthetic reinvention is certainly partly economic (Folie's release date got pushed back a couple of months by the recession, or so they claimed), but in this case, selling out has actually improved the quality of the band. Hot Topic fanatics will throw tantrums, but the rest of us can enjoy FOB's flirtation with R&B on "Tiffany Blews."
Maybe politically, Folie a Deux isn't so exciting; Stump's "hurry, hurry, hurry" on "w.a.m.s." is meant to foment radio play, not revolution. But in trying to distinguish contemporary pop emo from its sources in bands like Sunny Day Real Estate or Rites of Spring, maybe FOB is actually the inevitable conclusion of 1980s emo splitting off from hardcore punk. When emo minimized the political message of the punk aesthetic, it unwittingly paved the way for FOB to write this deliciously poppy, hooky, dance-worthy album. So what if it results in a few more radio-friendly hits? God bless 'em.

Tonight at 10 p.m. ET on Discovery Channel, "After the Catch," the companion roundtable show to "Deadliest Catch," returns for its sixth season, again featuring the salty sea captains and deckhands of the Bering Sea crab fleet talking about what did and didn't wind up on camera during filming for the documentary series.
(In photo, l to r: Jake, Phil and Josh Harris)
But this season, the captain's table will be short one member, since Cornelia Marie Capt. Phil Harris passed away in February after suffering a stroke. Click here and here for details. Click here for a story posted yesterday with "Deadliest" producer Thom Beers about tonight's episode.
After a few seasons away for scheduling reasons, "Dirty Jobs" host Mike Rowe, who also narrates "Deadliest Catch," returns to the moderator chair for "After the Catch," which has filmed in many different famous fishing ports. This season, it's New Orleans, which, along with the rest of southern Louisiana, has suffered from multiple hurricanes and, now, from the massive Gulf oil spill.
(The President speaks tonight briefly at 8 p.m. Eastern — live in all time zones — about the spill and the cleanup.)
"That was planned," says Rowe, "probably six or seven months ago, before the hurricane, before Phil, before everything. It was just very, very surreal, sitting there with four of the famous fishermen in the world, in maybe one of the most famous port cities in the world, in the midst of maybe the biggest eco-calamity in the world, with an empty chair, a duck fart and a picture where Phil would have been, looking back, in five hours, over the whole season.
"There was endless stuff to talk about,and it was really instructive. The guys are way more forthcoming than they used to be, and more comfortable than they used to be — or as comfortable as you can be when it's 105 degrees, your buddy's gone, and you're trying to make sense of it."
(In photo, l to r), Capt. Andy Hillstrand, Capt. Phil Harris, Josh Harris, Capt. Sig Hansen)
For a show whose very name emphasizes the dangers of crab fishing in the icy Bering Sea, it is an irony that Harris was struck on dry land, that he didn't perish at sea.
"Which is exactly what we've trained everybody to expect," Rowe says. "When's the wave coming? When's the fire coming? When is the sinking? When is the calamity? These guys are prepared for it, and the viewers are prepared for it.
"Then all of a sudden, he has a stroke — off-loading on the dock? It's so mundane; it's so relatable."
Along with the other captains, Harris' deckhand sons Jake and Josh also appear on "After the Catch," and it's understandably emotional.
"There are times when we have to stop shooting," Rowe says.
Since Rowe (at left) has been involved with the show since the beginning, he feels it helped for him to be there at this time.
"I've worked on every one of their boats," Rowe says. "I've been to six funerals in Dutch Harbor (Alaska), in the course of shooting the show. I've gotten drunk with these guys. I've bailed one out of jail. They know me.
"It just means you can have a conversation instead of a performance.
That's basically what we wanted."

DLCC Officials Optimistic on State Legislative Races
Governing sat down with two of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee's leaders at the DNC last week.
During the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., Governing sat down with Mike Gronstal, an Iowa legislator since 1982 who serves as majority leader of the Iowa Senate and as chairman of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, and Michael Sargeant, the DLCC's executive director since 2007. Here are excerpts from the conversation.
Q: Why does control of the state legislatures matter?
Sargeant: The party should care because Democrats in the state legislature are making critical policy decisions. These decisions and the leadership from legislators affects real people's lives, whether its health care, education, job creation or environmental protection.
Gronstal: Legislatures have a more direct impact on peoples' lives than what goes on in Washington. Many federal programs are state-federal partnerships, like Medicaid. The other thing state governments do more than the federal government is fashion economic development policy according to the unique circumstances of their state. Michigan may be more focused on manufacturing and Iowa more on agricultural policy.
And the legislature is the place where the next generation of national leaders may come from. It's a farm system.
Q: Did the big losses in legislative contests in 2010 hobble the Democrats?
Gronstal: Obviously we've been frustrated in those states where we lost power, but I don't know that we're hobbled. Voters have seen the other side pick extreme issues. The Republicans said, "Elect us and we'll get you back to work and focus on building and strengthening the economy." Instead, they proceeded on things like outlawing contraception or attacking workers' rights to organize. To some degree, the fact that the Republicans took over has shown what their real agenda is. In a lot of ways, it's a war on the middle class. We've tried to make our focus in states where we still hold power.
Q: What achievements have you been able to make, despite the reduced number of legislatures?
Gronstal: In Iowa, we have continued to work on issues affecting the economy, trying to build renewable fuel – ethanol, soy diesel – and encourage solar energy. Iowa is a state that imports mo more than 99 percent of its energy from out-of-state. None of the coal burned in Iowa comes from Iowa, and we have no oil or natural gas. So in a state like Iowa, focusing on that issue has a double benefit.
We also focus on education. Studies show there will be 525,000 jobs created in Iowa over the next six years. Sixty percent will need more than a high school diploma but not a four-year degree. So a skilled-worker shortage is a significant challenge in our state. We have focused on that, investing in community colleges, and we got the Republican governor to go along.I think you see that in states where we've kept or share power.
Q: How well were you able to get along with the Republicans?
Gronstal: We were able to fashion a budget both sides could agree on. I think to some degree on the state legislative level we've played a little less chicken than at the federal level. We're more willing to work together. In divided states, I think the state legislatures are still a little freer to work in bipartisan ways. It's not as bitterly partisan as it is at the federal level.
We went pretty late until we passed budget in 2011. In 2012, we figured out how to work through our differences better. I can get all worked up by real or perceived slights, but I think our example shows that's wasted effort, not especially productive.
Q: How optimistic are you about getting back some of the chambers you lost in 2012.
Sargeant: It will be a process. We're excited about our prospects in 2012 – we'll grab back a handful.
Gronstal: We'll be narrowing the margins. I think we have a decent chance of holding onto the Iowa Senate, even though it's been targeted. In Minnesota, I think we've got a decent shot at both chambers.
Sargeant: We have a strong opportunity to win both chambers back in Maine. I think we have a strong opportunity for full control in Colorado. We should see gains in places like the Ohio House, the Pennsylvania House, the Pennsylvania Senate, the Michigan House. And there are places where we can pick up a good amount of seats and start to knock on the door, like Arizona.
Gronstal: It's a matter of making steady progress, holding as many Democratic chambers as we hold now and picking a couple up, then building the infrastructure to give us the opportunity to take back even more in 2014. This is process.
Sargeant: There's some advantage for us in terms of turnout in a presidential year, though there's also probably a certain level of falloff for down-ballot races. So there are advantages and disadvantages for us. For people voting in non-presidential years, there's less fallout than during presidential years.
Gronstal: The patterns are not always so simple. When Bill Clinton was cruising to an easy reelection in 1996, we went into the minority in the Iowa Senate. But in 2004, when Bush won reelection in 2004, we got back five seats and tied the chamber.
Turnout has some impact, but presidential elections don't necessarily dramatically increase turnout. It's base against base and the middle may stay home. See the calluses on my knuckles? That's from knocking on doors. At the legislative level, it gets beyond what happens at the national level. Democrats in a lot of states won new majorities in 2004 even as John Kerry was losing because they ran a good program and won targeted races.

The Roots and TV on the Radio are collaborating on a track for Soundtrack For A Revolution. Black Thought was singing lead vocals?
Yesterday Okayplayer was up in the studio with The Roots and TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe and Kyp Malone to record a song for Soundtrack For A Revolution, a new project spearheaded by Blacksmith Corp founder Corey Smyth, and produced and directed by Bill Guttentag and Dan Sturman. Filmed documentary style, this project will wind up as a DVD/CD package showcasing contemporary musicians performing Civil Rights era freedom songs. Derived from old spirituals and slave chants, from the labor movement and from prison songs, these are the songs of the picket lines and paddy wagons of the Civil Rights Movement. The Roots/TV on the Radio collabo sounded stunning, and featured Black Thought singing the lead vocal (many may not know but BT has a rich and beautiful singing voice).

Are carpet remnants good for anything besides padding sawhorses?
No announcement yet.
Carpet Scraps
Re: Carpet Scraps
How large are the scraps? You may want to put one in the bottom of a toolbox to keep tools from banging so loud or to help protest them. You may find a scrap nice for if you need to crawl under your car/truck. Get inventive and you'll find uses for them. Now if you want to get rid of them and you can't stand your neighbors, put them on top of the grill (old junker) and burn them up. STINKO time LOL
Re: Carpet Scraps
I use them for floor pads (hardwood) should I need to move/slide anything. Close knap works best and you have to make sure you haven't picked up any debris that might scratch.
I also use a few piecs or a large piece if you have it, on the assembly table. Keeps from getting dings in a surface that is already sanded.
Re: Carpet Scraps
What I like it a good big piece to sit on when working on something low to the floor. Just get inventive. I think you'll find all kinds of things you can use them for. Do be sure they are clean before bringing any inside. There's nothing much worse than to have to deal with carpet with flea eggs in it when they hatch out.
Re: Carpet Scraps
It seems like they might come in handy for lining the bed of a truck (not at all times,but just with certain loads) if you dont want your paint scratched, or whatever item that you load scratched.
Our laundry room is in the garage and of course, our floors in the garage are cement. Remnants are great for that!Last edited by cbj10206; 07-21-2009, 11:38 AM.
Re: Carpet Scraps
We just moved to a smaller house, so space is at a premium. I put a scrap piece (shag/nap side down) on top of my dryer. I put whatever tools and odds and ends that need to go back outside to my workshop there untill I get around to it. Please don't respond about the fire hazards- I'm fully aware...Another use for scrap carpets: if you can find the ones with the rubber bottom, they make excellent non-skid mats for sanding.
Re: Carpet Scraps
I carry a square of carpet that is kinda premade in that size, so you can kinda lay it in a room like tile, its about 2x2.
I use it to protect the floor from me, and to catch any nasty drippings off my sewer cable. Set tools on it, kneel on it to keep knees clean, just about everything I do I can put it to work.
Re: Carpet Scraps
I used a few pieces to wrap a scratch post for one of my cats that is not de-clawed. Unfortunately, the de-clawed cat is the one who scratches it. The one with the claws still prefers the garage's door frame.In order to understand recursion, one must first understand recursion.

WASHINGTON -- As federal agencies slowly warm to the emergence of an increasingly mobile workforce, the traditional methods of securing a desktop environment will have to evolve to account for a vast new crop of wireless devices, a senior official with Symantec warned on Wednesday.
Federal CIOs, which have been developing mobility strategies for their agencies and departments at the direction of the White House, need to take an information-centric approach to securing the files and applications on mobile devices, rather than trying to lock down the device itself, Gigi Schumm, Symantec's vice president and general manager for the public sector, said in a presentation here at the FedScoop government IT conference.
[ FREE DOWNLOAD: Crafting a successful BYOD and mobile IT strategy | Can IT give users a consumer-like experience? Should they? ]
The security issues associated with an increasingly mobile workforce are amplified when CIOs consider adopting a "bring-your-own-device," or BYOD, policy, allowing employees to access potentially sensitive work files and applications on their personal device. At the same time, just as in the private sector, federal workers are coming to expect that they should be able to work on their favorite devices, and adopting BYOD policies, as some agencies are considering, could help lower IT acquisition and management costs.
BYOD: What Can We Learn from China? The Consumerization of IT and BYOD Guide
"If agencies allow their users to bring their own devices then they don't have to buy those devices and maintain them for their life," Schumm said, though she noted that "the more important gains are going to be the gains in productivity."
"But there's an elephant in the room, right? That is how are we going to manage and secure all the information across these mobile devices. Because the truth of the matter is despite all of the virtues, widespread mobility does create a larger threat environment for government employees, and for anybody really," she said.
BYOD remains an unsettled area of federal IT policy. In January, Steven VanRoekel, the CIO of the federal government, offered a first glimpse at a comprehensive mobile strategy, and has since been working with the agencies to formulate specific policies on a number of areas, including rules of the road for working with developers, mobile security and BYOD policies.
Those last two, of course, are closely coupled. For starters, the greatest virtue of mobile device, they're small and they travel with their users, also invites loss or theft. For that reason, Schumm urged a security strategy that focuses on access control and identity management, so that even if the device falls into the wrong hands, the risks would be minimized.
"Secondly, they're typically personal devices, which means you've got this potentially hazardous intermingling of personal and public data and applications and policies," she said.
Mobile devices, as a class, are generally more vulnerable to specific types of attacks by virtue of the way they operate, she added.
"Because they are portable, and they don't have a great deal of processing power, they're particularly reliant on network access and cloud services. And so because you don't have a fixed perimeter," Shumm said, "they are more susceptible to a host of threats, including network- based attacks and data-loss events."
For Symantec, the risk profile of a BYOD workforce demands that agencies reorient their approach (often a cultural challenge in the federal government) and acknowledge that they cannot exercise complete control over the device, and focus on identity assurance and locking down access to sensitive files and applications.
Agency CIOs have been understandably reluctant to welcome in a mÒ©lange of new mobile devices into their IT portfolio, just as many of their counterparts in the private have raised similar objections. But Schumm argued that many of the concerns can be satisfactorily addressed if security personnel can implement adequate safeguards that protect the vital information, regardless of what device it lives on.
"Where you really need to go to get to -- fulfill the promise of true bring-your-own-device is ... where the agency doesn't have control over the machine, they haven't bought the machine, but they do have control over the relevant data and applications. So in other words you can manage and secure the applications that are critical to your agency, your mission, and those apps that are personal apps when they're there -- you know, Angry Birds or Words With Friends, you don't need to worry about. But you can control the data flow to make sure that government data stays where it should be in government apps, and it's not shared," Schumm said.
"So this is where the train is heading -- true, complete BYOD. And the new paradigm demands a new security posture which we call information-centric," she added. "So it's not that we're going to move away from device-centric security, but we need to layer an information- centric approach on top of it, and that is security that focuses on protecting the data wherever it moves, and wherever it rests."

E! has cut the cord on its Ryan Lochte reality series.
"What Would Ryan Lochte Do?" will not be returning to the network this spring.
The show, which was pretty darn terrible, only premiered to 800,000 viewers when it premiered, and that dropped to only 300,000 for the finale. It's not too much of a surprise that E! opted to ditch the programming.
TVLine broke the news, though a rep at E! declined to comment to the site. One of the website's insiders at the network says they "hope to work with Lochte again in the future."
Are you sad "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?" won't be returning?

I was thinking about wearing headphones to bed, listening to soft songs/rain sound effects. I was thinking AD700s for their open-back design. Maybe something below $100.
I was thinking about wearing headphones to bed, listening to soft songs/rain sound effects. I was thinking AD700s for their open-back design. Maybe something below $100.
Definitely wear a "portable" can to bed. I've been wearing Grados to bed every night for 4 years and I couldn't imagine wearing something big since I'm actually a side sleeper haha... I just plop one of the swivel drivers on my head then doze off...
I think these headphones match perfectly your description:
Only 40$.
Now I didn't try them , but I imagine they are quite comfy for sleeping
Now when I hit the sack I use with great comfort and sound IMO are the "Audio Technica AD-700". They aren't in the same leauge as my HD-650's or my even better HD-800's but I not wearing those to bed..... The "wings" and headband are nice and the cable going in on only one side is also a nice "no tangled feature", best part I picked mine up new for $83.50.....
zinos out of ipod perfect
I sleep with the meelec M6 (iem). It's pretty low profile, flat on your ear for side-sleeping, and they're pretty intensely durable. Sound quality is only ok, but I really just use them for tv type stuff.
I fall asleep regularly wearing headphones - I mean going to sleep for the night - and
have a few observations that others might find useful.
1. Headphones worn in bed risk ending up on the floor, being rolled over upon,
and sundry other unpleasantries. They need to be reasonably sturdy.
2. I prefer closed headphones in this situation - might as well keep out any outside noise
when falling asleep.
3.. Avoiding phones that have large earcups.
If they do, they'll rub against the pillow and be microphonic.
(For this reason, I wouldn't consider wearing the AT 700's.)
4. Clearly, headphones worn while lying down must stay in place - and I've found few that reliably do so.
Having tried many, many headphones, I know that few can be worn while one is horizontal.
Grado's are very good in this regard.
But they're sort of delicate. And open, of course.
AT ATH-M50's slide right off.
so do Shure 840's.
Beyer DT880
Ultrasone 780
Denon 2000
and several others.
Wthout listing all of the headphones I've tried this with, I'll mention the two that work best for me:
Senn HD25 I II - they stay in place, sound great, and the earpieces are small enough to avoid touching
the pillow (or whatever you've got you're head resting on...)
The other pair - Sony MDR 7606 / MDR V6.
They stay in place, earpieces are small enough front to back, and sound is
pretty decent especially when the intention is to be asleep in a little while.
And with the Sony's, if there is any untoward event, well - they're pretty inexpensive.
Wearing headphones in bed is impossible for me. Even Denon D1001, which is about the smallest circumaural model can get, was pushing and making contact against my pillow.
IEM all the way for this purpose. I personally use Triplefi 10.
I sometimes use my Koss KSC75s when trying to sleep, but I prefer speakers.
If you are not demanding quality audio and just listening to soft songs/rain sound effects, these may be all you need.
Don't think these will work
why headphones over iems or speakers?

I'm really hoping the PJM and PJM Encore patch is released this Thursday in Europe. It will probably be the only game that can distract me from Rapture until LBP is finally released. PS3Trophies.org has apparantley got the full list of all the Trophies that can be earned in PJM.
If you want to see what it will take to get the Trophies, including the secret Trophies, click the above link. I know some people may want to avoid seeing the full list.
Most of them will definitely make you play the game far differently to how you would normally play it. Some are going to be quite challenging too! 😀
I'm glad Q games have put some thought into their Trophy challenges, which is what I want more devs to start doing.
