Hendrickje Stoffels entered Rembrandt's household as a housekeeper and dry nurse to his son Titus in 1649, seven years after the death of his wife Saskia. Hendrickje became Rembrandt's mistress, and in 1654 she gave birth to their daughter Cornelia. Hendrickje died in 1663.
There is no documented portrait of Hendrickje Stoffels, and the identification of the sitter in this painting is largely based on the knowledge of the sitter's relationship with the artist, and the informality and affection with which she is represented. Her hair is decorated with jewels and she is shown wearing a fur wrap, with pearl earrings and a chain around her neck.
The free brushwork, particularly in Hendrickje's wrap, has led to suggestions that the painting is unfinished. Yet given that the painting is signed, it is likely that Rembrandt himself considered it finished. The meticulous execution of the subject's face, giving it greater emphasis, is a technique found in many of Rembrandt's portraits.

I just began playing tennis late last year. I have probably been playing a total of 6-7months. This weekend I am playing in a Doubles tournament with a friend of mine that started playing around the same time I did. He took lessons and I just asked him for a lot of help and we've progressed together. He has played USTA league tennis(2.5 and moving up to 3.0 next season). We signed up to play in the 2.5 Men's doubles division. We are the only team in there so we're most likely going to bumped up to another division, just to make me even more nervous! I've only played practice matches and have always been really relaxed because they didn't count. Is there anything that I can do to shake the jitters beforehand and shake them come match time? We played a 6.5 team on Sunday and we lost 7-8(corporate league scoring). I was nervous in this practice match because they were so much better. I held all of my serves though and actually had a really good 1st serve percentage! I'm hoping that the nerves will help me play better but just in case they don't anyone else have any ideas what I can do? Anyone have any first match/tournament experiences that may help or may just be entertaining to read?
I've been playing tournament tennis for over 20 years now, and I've won over a thousand matches in this time. However, I do remember my first tournament, and what it was like... so I've got some advice. (Most of this information isn't just for your first tournament, but probably for your entire competitive tennis career.) Here goes: First of all, nervousness is normal. No matter what level you play, if you aren't feeling a few jitters before a "big" match, you probably aren't getting excited or care enough about the match to win. Therefore, it's OK to feel this way... as long as you don't let it debilitate you from performing. Second, I am a big believer in practice. If you want to perform well in a "real" match, you must practice performing well in "fake" matches. The more sets you play, and the more times you reinforce good behaviour (ie, hitting the shots you do well and minimizing errors), the more likely you will be to reproduce that same performance under pressure. If possible, you can try to simulate pressure on yourself in your practice matches by modifying the rules (like only allowing 1 serve, or starting the set down 0-2), or by making a bet with your practice partner (the loser must buy the post-match Gatorade), or by making bets with yourself (if you lose, you must run 2 miles). Third, examine your goals and motivations in tennis. Since this is a competitive sport, often you can not completely control the outcome of your matches. Your opponents might be having a great day, or your partner might not be playing well. Therefore, don't focus completely on winning or losing, but how well you can perform... especially with the things that are under your control (like serve placement and percentage). Make continuous improvement your main goal, and look at your tournament matches as a way to get better. And finally, learn to love good competition! Matches that are close and where the obstacles are the hardest to overcome offer the greatest rewards in the game. Having the chance to beat someone as good or better than you is something to relish. Truly close matches (like tight 3 setters in a tournament) usually only happen a few times per year for most players, so learn to enjoy those moments when they occur. Have fun and good luck!
That's really great insight from Jack. Hard to beat that. I would add that "the more tournaments you play, the more tournament-hardened you are, so your nerves decrease." I used to play a lot of tournaments. Invariably, the first one of the season was toughest with nerves; the more you do, the easier it gets.
Go play in the Tournament and enjoy every single moment of it. You will never forget the memories. It's so different than anything else you'll ever do. :smile:
Awesome replies, thanks so much everybody! We just got the draws today and the tournament will be played in a round robin style. We have been bumped up to the 3.0 division. It is split into two groups of four teams (a red and blue group). We are in the red group and we play matches at 9am,10:30am,and12pm. Does anyone have any experience with this type of tournament set-up? I don't know if we can get through a match in an hour and a half.

On the occasion of Gunday star's birthday, Bollywoodlife brings you 5 best dance performances of Ranveer Singh
There is a confidence in his swagger. There is a coolness in his style. Spontaneous is his middle name. We have known it for a while. Oh man, that rhymes! But the man who we are talking about deserves more than a stupid rhyme scheme. Dashing, ever flamboyant Ranveer Singh turns 29 today, and given to the fun loving nature of the star, we have decided something fun today.We are celebrating the birthday of the ladies man Ranveer Singh with five of his best dances which have set either screen or stage on fire.
Ainvayi ainvayi from Band Baaja Baarat
Debutant Ranveer Singh broke into Bollywood's scenery with his charming Haryanvi antics in Band Baaja Baarat, surprising everyone with his spellbinding screen presence. How can anyone forget the chart buster Ainvayi ainvayi from the film where Ranveer Singh's raw energy infuses life into the party. His chemistry with his ex girlfriend Anushka Sharma was song's plus point making this dance number stand out from the rest. Ranveer's enthusiasm transcends through the screen making you want to shake your leg and do latka-jhatka of your own.
Ranveer Singh's performance at 58th Idea Filmfare Awards 2013
When Ranveer Singh came to the Filmfare stage in 2013, he did not just dance. He set the stage on fire. Grooving to latest beats in styles varying from 1940's to 2010's, the Dil Dhadakne Do star was a live wire, a hoot , who hoodwinked everyone by mimicking dancing styles of yesteryear superstars from Kishore Kumar to Amitabh Bachchan to even Hritik Roshan. He left lovely ladies, like his co-stars Parineeti Chopra, Anushka Sharma and his gf Deepika Padukone, in splits.
Tattad tattad from Ram Leela
What do we know till now? Ranveer Singh is a terrific dancer and an incredible stage performer. But when promos Tattad tattad song from Ram Leela came out, we knew he can make any step look cool. His dance moves in the song were a rage amongst the youth. Especially his antics with the hair reached a cult status, with every kid in the country rustling his or her hair. The song gave Ranveer a chance to expose his rock hard abs and muscular body, making girls swoon with his manly moves.
Do The Rex commercial
In 2014, Bollywood's Ricky Bahl did something which no hero has dared to do it till now. Ranveer Singh's extremely catchy Do the Rex song for a condom commercial went to become viral thanks to the star presence of Ranveer Singh, who owned the ad with his everlasting energy and some crazy dance moves. It takes a very bold actor to endorse a contraceptive and non other than rocking Ranveer, who has no qualms in flaunting his sexuality, could have done it. The step with his hands pointing towards the sky will be deeply etched in our memories for years to come.
Samsung Gangnam Style
How many have you seen a star shed all inhibitions in a public event and do something like Ranveer's Samsung style? When Ranveer Singh came to an event to promote Samsung's new product, he did a very interesting and extremely entertaining gig, singing the features of the product grooving to his own version of Gangnam Style. Trust us when we say this…'You wouldn't have seen anything like this before!'
We believe that our birthday boy has the star power and raw charisma to be Bollywood's next superstar. We wish this Lootera keeps on rocking in his very own Oppa Ranveer style!

I thought I was acting alone. I thought what I did last Friday at the BLM oil and gas auction was just an individual act of civil disobedience against a fraudulent auction and against a cruel leadership indifferent to the future of my generation.
I was wrong. What I have learned since then is that America is still a place where when you stand for what is right, you never stand alone. I can now see that I acted together with all Americans who respect the right as much as the law. I stood with Thoreau, Adams, Parks and Bob Moses. I now stand with the thousands who have expressed their solidarity with my act and will join me in Washington DC on March 2nd for the Capitol Climate Action.
The tremendous outpouring of support which I have received in response to disrupting the BLM's oil sale has been overwhelming for me. I can only assume that the thanks many of you have offered is not thanks for doing what you won't, but thanks for awakening your own sense of efficacy. My actions were just the striking of the match head. The purpose of a match is not to light the world by its own flame, but to ignite the tinder and kindling which keeps the fire going. If my act is to be relevant, it must ignite the tinder of grassroots uprising which will burn the fires of change around the world.
The tinder of support already burning has given me hope that this country is ready to meet the urgent challenge before us. That challenge is clear and cannot be understated. James Hansen, the IPCC, Al Gore and others have warned in no uncertain terms that the next couple years are our last chance to take drastic action in response to climate change if we are to protect our civilization as we know it. I believe America is ready to make the sacrifices necessary to rise to that challenge.
For decades the environmental movement has been dominated by cadre-based organizations who told the rest of us to just let the professionals handle things. We have been told that the best we can do is to sign an internet petition and send our donations so that Big Green could hire lobbyists to fight our battles. The upwelling of grassroots energy is finally responding that we are willing and able to do much more. We have discovered that hope for genuine change resides not on K Street or with Obama, but in ourselves. This uprising holds true to the faith that our heritage of civil disobedience is not dead and that we can again make this a government of the people.
In 2009 our new Congress and new President will decide our fate. They will either show heroic courage in standing up to powerful interests and defending our future, or they will demonstrate tragic failure. Failure to respond to this unprecedented crisis. Yet they can only follow the trail we break. So as they decide, we will be there. We will be in Washington on March 2nd, and we will be in every community in America all year long refusing to surrender the future of all for the short term profits of the few. Every one of us faces our own opportunities to make a difference. By responding to those individual challenges to our conscious, together we will defend our future.

SUNDAY, Aug. 21 (HealthDay News) -- The apparent discovery of a common cause of all forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) could give a boost to efforts to find a treatment for the fatal neurodegenerative disease, a new study contends.
Scientists have long struggled to identify the underlying disease process of ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) and weren't even sure that a common disease process was associated with all forms of ALS.
In this new study, Northwestern University researchers said they found that the basis of ALS is a malfunctioning protein recycling system in the neurons of the brain and spinal cord. Efficient recycling of the protein building blocks in the neurons are critical for optimal functioning of the neurons. They become severely damaged when they can't repair or maintain themselves.
This problem occurs in all three types of ALS: hereditary, sporadic and ALS that targets the brain, the researchers said.
The discovery, published Aug. 21 in the journal Nature, shows that all forms of ALS share an underlying cause and offers a common target for drug therapy, according to the researchers.
"This opens up a whole new field for finding an effective treatment for ALS," study senior author Dr. Teepu Siddique, of the Davee Department of Neurology and Clinical Neurosciences at Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine, said in a university news release. "We can now test for drugs that would regulate this protein pathway or optimize it, so it functions as it should in a normal state."
This finding about the breakdown of protein recycling in ALS may also prove useful in the study of other neurodegenerative diseases, specifically Alzheimer's and other dementias, the Northwestern researchers said.
ALS afflicts an estimated 350,000 people around the world. About 50 percent of patients die within three years of the first symptoms. They progressively lose muscle strength until they're paralyzed and can't move, speak, swallow and breathe, the researchers said.

The U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke has more about ALS.

The Red Bull team have been very discrete about their disappointment following Mercedes lightweight reprimand for illegal testing at Barcelona. Last week in Paris the Silver Arrows team received only a reprimand for unauthorised testing with Pirelli at Barcelona and were forced to sit out the young driver test that is to follow the Silverstone GP.
After the event Christian Horner chose not to criticise the judgement of the International Tribunal, but had expected Mercedes to be given a heavy fine or a points deduction.
In an off-the-record briefing a spokesman for the Red Bull team said that the least they expected was Ross Brawn being made to sit next to Helmut Marko on long-haul flights to future races.

An engineer will likely hold a demo of new ground-breaking technology where car runs on water as fuel to Irena officials in Abu Dhabi.
The demo will be given to Director-General of Abu Dhabi-headquarter International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) Adnan Z. Amin in Abu Dhabi, Pakistan Press International (PPI) news agency said on Thursday.
Pakistani engineer Waqar Ahmed has been invited by Pakistani Ambassador to UAE Jamil Ahmed Khan in Abu Dhabi to give a demo to Irena's director general. Sources said the ambassador is currently visiting Pakistan and will return to the UAE next week to reveal further details.
Earlier this week, Engineer Ahmed drove the vehicle on water in Pakistan as a demo in front of media, students, scientists and politicians.
Media reports have explained that the water fuelling system is a technology in which "hydrogen bonding" with distilled water produces hydrogen gas to run the car. The engineer claims that the car can run 40 kilometres in litre water.
PPI said Ambassador Khan has exchanged notes with Irena's Amin and agreed joining hands in holding a demo to have a close look at the working of the "water fuel kit project."

I'm all over Ethiopian! Everywhere I've had Ethiopian Fair Trade (TJ's and the coffeeshop where I work included), I've loved it. A clear winner in my book.
+1 I agree with Michelle. The Ethiopian Fair Trade is very good IMO.
If you see it, I like the New Mexico Piñon Coffee for a nice treat. It tastes a bit nutty and chocolatey. Other than that, I've tried their Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and liked that. A bit citrusy.
I love the Sumatra. Fair trade, organic and affordable. Can't beat that!
We've tried them all, and usually stick with the Bay Blend. It's dark and reasonably smooth and it's affordable.
I like Peaberry, but I think it's only available for a limited time.
I just picked up some Bolivian. Pretty tastey. Can't say it is my favorite from TJ's cause it's my first TJ's I have tried.
When I buy coffee, I look for the single source bean type instead of the coffees that blend beans. Information on how to select your coffee is available on the "Bulletproof Coffee" website. http://www.bulletproofexec.com/how-to-make-your-coffee-bulletproof-and-your-morning-too/ I haven't bought his brand but I still do look for single source coffee beans for less bacterial matter on the coffee bean.
I love the French Roast! It's great if you like strong, dark coffee.

http://rubymines.blogspot.com/2010/08/diy-tutorial-louis-vuitton-bow-pumps.htmlI wish i knew that you carried this – I would have used your trim instead of faux leather.
Because its real leather you dont have to do any of the folding just make a bow and affix to the shoe.
I'm considering ordering some of this and doing a 2nd tutorial now since the first is so popular.Do I just need to call to order? Thanks!

Clemson vs South Carolina prediction |
by David Hood - Senior Writer - 2012-11-23 12:31:37.0 |
It's here. Rivalry week emerged earlier this week amid the clouds of conference realignment and expansion and has also had to share time with the trappings of a family holiday. On Saturday, however, the eyes of the Palmetto State will be focused on Clemson, where perhaps the most important game in the history of the rivalry will be played. This will be the biggest game in the history of the rivalry when it comes to combined victories for the two programs entering the game. The two schools have combined for 19 wins entering the regular season finale, more than any other meeting in the history of the event. Clemson is 10-1 and South Carolina 9-2 entering the contest. It is actually the second straight year that record has been broken. Last year both schools were 9-2 entering the game for a total of 18 wins. South Carolina has owned the series over the last three games of the series – convincingly – and Clemson's seniors will not only be playing in their last game in Death Valley, but they will try and avoid the stain of never having won a game in the rivalry. There's no need to hype it. No need to use colorful words to get the fans worked up. Clemson hates South Carolina. South Carolina hates Clemson. South Carolina fans brag like they're Alabama with Vanderbilt's trophy case. Clemson fans know they can't say anything – despite winning the ACC title and appearing in the championship game twice in the last three seasons – because it's been over a thousand days since they've celebrated a win over their rival. Old fashioned hate. Cold weather. Night game in the Valley. BCS dreams and national respect at stake. Bring it on. WHAT: No. 11 Clemson vs. No. 12 South Carolina
WHEN SOUTH CAROLINA HAS THE BALL Clemson fans have so many mental scars from the last three seasons – and especially last year in Columbia – that they fear South Carolina's offense, a squad that is ranked 94th nationally. Obviously, running back Marcus Lattimore was the heart of the offense, but triggerman Connor Shaw is the one that ran all over Clemson last season. How much will he want to run this year with his assorted injuries? Over the last five weeks, he has been less than effective on the ground, gaining a grand total of 58 yards, so the Gamecocks will rely at first on running backs Kenny Miles and Mike Davis, who have rushed for 339 and 313 yards, respectively. Clemson's defense ranks 72nd nationally against the run, but has been better recently – once linebacker Spencer ShueySpencer Shuey Clemson's secondary has struggled – even that word is an understatement – against the pass this season, with injuries and busted plays all taking a toll. This week, Clemson's toasted group has to cover Bruce Ellington, Ace Sanders and Damiere Byrd, who all are small and slippery and have no trouble getting behind defenses. The Tigers have also struggled with covering the tight ends as well, and Justice Cunningham has 20 catches for 261 yards, while Rory Anderson has 13 catches for 264 yards with five scores. This matchup should scare the daylights out of Clemson fans – imagine stops on first and second down, only to see Shaw roll out of the pocket on third and hit a tight end to keep the drive alive. It worked for N.C. State last week, and as long as Shaw stays healthy… ADVANTAGE - SOUTH CAROLINA WHEN CLEMSON HAS THE BALL This is the glamorous matchup Saturday – Clemson's 6th-ranked offense that is clicking on all cylinders against South Carolina's 13th-ranked defense. However, this one is pretty simple – if Tajh BoydTajh Boyd And that brings us to Boyd, who was overwhelmed by South Carolina a year ago. The Gamecocks played physical on Clemson's receivers, and Boyd felt the heat early. Offensive coordinator Chad MorrisChad Morris In the passing game – South Carolina defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward likes to employ the "rabbit" in certain situations, leaving his corners in man on the outside while bringing pressure with the four defensive ends he puts in on the line to rush the quarterback and disrupt plays. However, it will be interesting to see if Ward leaves his corners in man coverage on the outside, leaving them 1-on-1 with the likes of Nuk, Hopkins, Sammy WatkinsSammy Watkins Once again, if Boyd has time, the big plays will be there. Can Clemson's offensive line give him that time? Both Maryland and N.C. State entered their games against Clemson ranked at the top of the ACC in sacks, and neither laid a hand on Boyd. Clowney and company, however, are a different matter and the Tigers haven't seen this type of defensive line talent since Florida St., which sacked Boyd twice in Tallahassee. South Carolina is ranked 22nd nationally against the pass, but let's be honest – they haven't faced any passing attacks like this one this season. Florida? Vanderbilt? Missouri? Wofford? The closest thing they've seen to Clemson is Tennessee, which put of 471 yards of offense – 381 thought the air – in a game at South Carolina last month. ADVANTAGE – SLIGHT TO CLEMSON SPECIAL TEAMS We start every week by saying that Clemson has a potent weapon in kicker Chandler CatanzaroChandler Catanzaro The difference between the two schools might be in the return game – South Carolina's Bruce Ellington has 285 yards on kickoff returns, while Ace Sanders ranks first in the country with 333 punt return yards. The Tigers were torched in the return game in Tallahassee, and they were torched last week. The Tigers have looked close to breaking one each week, and South Carolina ranks 99th nationally in kickoff return defense (Clemson is 96th), but South Carolina's returners are the ones that have made plays. In the return game, South Carolina has a decided edge. In the kicking game, I like Catman. ADVANTAGE – SLIGHT TO SOUTH CAROLINA WHAT WILL HAPPEN Can Clemson stop the streak? Of course it can. South Carolina will score points, no doubt about it. And in a close game, special teams can make all the difference, so keep it away from Carolina's returners. Will South Carolina sack Boyd and get pressure? Yes. Will it be enough? No, not the way Clemson's offense has been playing. To me, it comes down to this – both teams are playing well, but one team is playing lights out. Last year, it was the opposite. Boyd and company score enough points to win, earn some national respect and break the streak. Spot the dang ball. FINAL SCORE – CLEMSON 41, SOUTH CAROLINA 33
* Points: 3 pts for best prediction of the week (tiebreaker is Clemson score), 1pt for picking the correct winner

View Full Profile was inserted into the middle, everything settled down and it allowed the young defensive tackles to step up and make plays. If Shaw was completely healthy, he still might find the running lanes tough to get to. With him dinged up, my guess is that they roll him out of the pocket and let him have the run-pass option, making Clemson's defensive line make plays in the open field. Last season, the Tigers played a man-to-man defense and Shaw took off once he saw the defenders' backs turned. This season, the Tigers are in the zone, so Shaw might have to pass first. Speaking of the passing game – Spurrier's offense has evolved into a run-first group, but the bigger plays have actually come through the passing game this season.

View Full Profile gets time and the Tigers can mount some semblance of a running game against South Carolina's front seven, the advantage is to the Tigers. Running the ball, however, won't be easy. The Gamecocks have superlative talent at the end spots in Jadeveon Clowney and Devin Taylor, while Byron Jerideau and Kelcy Quarles stop everything up the middle. As a result, South Carolina is 16th in the country in rushing defense, giving up an average of 116.64 yards per game. LSU and Wofford are the only two schools that have had any kind of success this season against South Carolina, but Clemson has found innovative ways to get Andre EllingtonAndre Ellington

Wrong. We have at least 2000 years of first hand written testimony about Druids. Caesar wrote about them extensively after meeting then in gaul in around 50 BC. Tacitus wrote about them after the Romans wiped them out in Anglesey, Britain, in 60 AD.
I did not say Tacitus wrote a first hand account about Druids, I only said that about Caesar. I mentioned Tacitus merely in the context of a writer on the subject well before the middle ages. He wrote about Druids after Anglesey.
Is there an echo in here?First hand means the writer was there at the time.....You say yourself....Tacitus wrote about them after they were wiped out. Basing his account heavily on Caesar's....and Caesar was the bugger wot did the wiping.What part of the phrase "heavily biased second hand account" do you fail to understand?
Gaius Suetonius Paulinus was the one what did the wiping. While he was chucking the last of the Druids off the Anglesey cliffs, Boudicca led the Iceni and the Trinovante in a rebellion that burned London and Colchester to the ground.

Talk:Hobo Army
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Hobos, attack!
Despite the piss-taking this article is dedicated to the memory of Alan Smith, AKA Bear, the homeless poet of Bristol and a friend of mine, who died in November 2009 after many years on the streets. He was known all across the city for his astonishing ability to create poems on the spot out of any combination of words you gave him. One of the smartest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, the guy was also blessed with a great sense of humour, and I like to think he'd chuckle at the concept of a hobo army swarming over everything in its path. Rest in peace, Bear, we still miss your poems. --Holy Shit It's powell 17:50, February 21, 2011 (UTC)
- One day St Helens will lose "Johnny Welly", a regional treasure. I hope the town builds a monument to his memory. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
- Haha, I just checked his "official website" and he seems an interesting guy. --Holy Shit It's powell 23:00, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

When we last left the "Survivor: Cagayan" castaways, Sarah Lacina had a good shot at playing both sides and promptly blew it by playing it absolutely the wrong way. How will it work out for Kass, the one who flipped? Time will tell.
Spencer is livid at his alliance collapsing because Kass and her "gut" went bonkers, though he blames it on her estrogen. Oh, cram it, Spencer. Like men don't make crazy, emotional decisions. This has to do with Kass being crazy, not Kass being a woman.
Kass is patting herself mightily on the back for her triple whammy of getting out the person she was targeting and also getting two Idols out there. Honestly, it seems like Kass was pretty stupid in that move. Who's to say she's not low man on the totem pole with her new alliance?
Though, as Sarah pointed out, everybody would be dumb not to take Kass to the end now because she's going to have a hard time getting jury votes to win the money.
The next day, it becomes about Kass vs. Morgan because Morgan doesn't seem to do much around camp and that bothers Kass.
Morgan gets real ugly, real quick by saying that Kass just doesn't like her because Morgan is prettier than Kass. Honestly, Kass is a lot of things, but I do not get the impression that Kass dislikes Morgan because she's jealous. That's an excuse a lot of immature, pretty women use for when other women don't like them because it's easier to say, "They're just jealous" than it is to face up to how maybe you aren't the greatest person in the world.
Reward Challenge
The reward is a "Survivor" steakhouse in the jungle, which is probably about the most awesome thing these people could have at this point. They are divided into teams, though weirdly Jeff doesn't tell us at the top who is on which team. But anyway, the challenge is a teeter-totter made of netting, a balance beam, hauling a chest, scaling a wall and then a puzzle.
The teams are fairly evenly matched, trading the lead back and forth depending on the obstacle. The puzzle, as it often is, is what it comes down to. Spencer and LJ make much quicker work of it than Woo and Kass, so Spence, LJ, Jeremiah, Jefra and Morgan are headed to the steakhouse, while Woo, Kass, Tony, Tasha and Trish are headed home empty-handed.
While the young 'uns are at the reward, Tony and Trish want to know who Kass wants gone since she knows the other castaways better than they do, as Tony assures her that she did the right thing. He's not sure about her because she seems sincere and yet she could be a really good liars. Plus, look what she just did to her previous alliance, right?
Meanwhile, the Outback Steakhouse reward is actually a product placement I can get behind. At least it's not a challenge where they haul around a giant Gulliver, amirite? Remember those shenanigans? Anyway, Spencer finds what he thinks might be a clue to the Idol that's back at camp.
Back at camp, it starts pouring rain and everyone is huddled in the shelter, but Spencer not-at-all-casually sneaks off to read his clue. Woo is no dummy, so he follows Spence into the jungle. Both Woo and the show joke about his #ninjastealthmode, but honestly, Woo is actually pretty stealthy when he spies on Spencer.
Woo eventually reveals himself and then awesomely picks up Spencer's pants and the Idol clue falls out, so Woo snatches it up and runs off with it. The camera crew is really earning its keep this episode because all of a sudden it looks like "Blair Witch" in the jungle as Woo sprints away and both the cameras and Spencer give chase.
The camp ninja promptly tells everyone what Spencer was up to and then it is ON like Donkey Kong and then we understand the episode title, "Mad Treasure Hunt." Everyone goes bonkers trying to find this special new Idol.
"You know it's bad when Morgan, the girl you can't tell if she's a pillow or a person, you know it's serious when she's up off her a** and looking for this Idol," says Tony. Hee!
Then hilariously, Spencer finds it but Kass is standing right there, so he has to wait until Kass isn't watching and then he stuffs it in his pants and walks away. It's kind of amazing after all of that scrambling that Spencer found it and nobody knows he has it. However, it's not the special Idol. That one remains hidden, presumably. This Idol is just a normal Idol.
Immunity Challenge
It's an endurance challenge where the castaways have to stand on their tiptoes to hold a block between their heads and the top of the frame they're standing inside. Kass lasts like 5 seconds, then Jeremiah, Trish and Tony are out fairly quickly. Wow, this is a killer. The "Survivor" challenge-makers are so creative.
Twenty-five minutes in, Morgan and Woo are out, leaving LJ, Jefra, Spencer and Tasha, who are all still in it at an hour. Holy moly. I didn't expect this to last 30 minutes, let alone 60. But at an hour, Jefra is out and she almost can't stand on her legs.
LJ falls and it's Tasha vs. Spencer. Tasha looks cool as a cucumber, honestly. She's like a statue. But at 90 minutes in (!!!), Spencer is still hanging in there and then rather amazingly, he wins. Not that I didn't think he could do it, Tasha just looked so comfortable, like she could stand there all day long.
Now, Spencer's big decision becomes does he give his Idol to one of his alliance-mates, or does he save it for himself. If you can get the numbers back, that's huge. However, the Tony/Trish/Kass/Jefra/Woo/LJ alliance is targeting Morgan, it sounds like. The chances that Spencer gives Morgan his Idol seems slim to me. He would protect Tasha before he'd protect Morgan.
But Spencer knows going after crazy Kass is the only chance they have. If Kass will flip, she can help them use the Idol and get the numbers back. It's not insane — Kass obviously likes to stir the pot just to stir stuff up, plus Spencer appeals to her sense of "get the jury votes back" because she certainly doesn't have them at this point.
Spencer tells Kass that Tony is who they want to target and Kass' thinking (privately in an interview) is that going after Tony is a bigger move than going after Morgan, which is 100 percent correct. Morgan is not much of a gamer, while Tony is a big fish to go after.
We don't have much sense of what anyone is going to do, which makes me think that Kass is going to flip and they'll use the Idol to protect Morgan, sending Tony home.
Tribal Council
They rehash the previous Tribal Council, but everybody's pretty much over it, which is also why I think Kass and Spencer have made up and are aligned again. Then it turns to how everyone feels about Morgan. She makes no bones about how the world is easy for her because she's pretty (and has big boobs, but that part is left unsaid) and how at the Beauty tribe, the guys did all the work for the pretty women. Shocking, right?
Then Jefra tries to insist that Kass is not the low person on the totem pole in their alliance, but even if that's true, you know that Kass is still worried about it. That's another reason for her to flip back, which Probst points out. Clearly, it has all come down to whatever Kass decides to do.
Before the votes are read, however, nobody plays the hidden Idol. Interesting. The votes go Tony, Tony, Tony, (Tony! Toni! Toné!), Tony, Morgan, Morgan, Morgan, Morgan, Morgan and Morgan.
Hmm. Well, I mis-read what Kass was going to do. I really thought she decided to get on board with Spencer's plan, but I don't think she's done flip-flopping in this game, not by a long shot.
Next week: Paranoia sets in for Tony and he maybe loses his marbles. In her exit interview, Morgan tells Kass to grow up, which is another thing immature people like to throw around a lot.

Carlos Kalmar is in his fourteenth season as Music Director of the Oregon Symphony.
He is also the artistic director and principal conductor of the Grant Park Music Festival in Chicago.
In May, 2011 he made his New York debut at Carnegie Hall with the Oregon Symphony as part of the inaugural Spring for Music festival. Both his imaginative program, Music for a Time of War, and the performance itself were hailed by critics in The New York Times, New Yorker magazine and Musical America, and the concert was recorded and released on the PentaTone label, subsequently earning two Grammy nominations (Best Orchestral Performance and Best Engineered). Under Kalmar's guidance the orchestra has recorded subsequent CDs on the PentaTone label—"This England," featuring works by Britten, Vaughan Williams, and Elgar, and "The Spirit of the American Range," with works by Copland, Piston, and Antheil which received another Best Orchestral Performance Grammy nomination.
New Yorker magazine critic Alex Ross called the Oregon Symphony's Carnegie Hall performance under Kalmar "the highlight of the festival and one of the most gripping events of the current season." That verdict was echoed by Sedgwick Clark, writing for Musical America, who described the performance of Vaughan Williams' Fourth Symphony as "positively searing…with fearless edge-of-seat tempos….breathtakingly negotiated by all…"
A regular guest conductor with major orchestras in America, Europe and Asia, Kalmar recently made his subscription series debuts with three of America's most prestigious orchestras: those of Boston, Chicago and San Francisco. Past engagements have seen him on the podium with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Minnesota Orchestra and the New World Symphony, as well as the orchestras of Baltimore, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, Milwaukee, Nashville, Seattle and St. Louis.
Carlos Kalmar, born in Uruguay to Austrian parents, showed an early interest in music and began violin studies at the age of six. By the time he was fifteen his musical promise was such that his family moved back to Austria in order for him to study conducting with Karl Osterreicher at the Vienna Academy of Music. He has previously served as the chief conductor and artistic director of the Spanish Radio/Television Orchestra and Choir in Madrid as well as the music director for the Hamburg Symphony, the Stuttgart Philharmonic, Vienna's Tonnkunsterorchester, and the Anhaltisches Theater in Dessau, Germany. He lives in Portland with his wife, Raffaela, and son, Luca.August 2016 – Please discard any previously dated materials.

Gorgeous fabric!!! How do I go about getting my grubby little mits on some of that? I would love to incorporate it into some of my quilting.

Love your tile! I ADORE red...not the raspberry reds but the tomatoey reds! One of our bathrooms is a bright red and it energizes me!
I used to think that blue was my favorite color, and it made me feel calm and somewhat secure. I wore it often, but I don't think it really did much for me. Red and chartreuse make me happy and really give my spirit a boost!

I find I go thru periods where I have a favorite. When I was younger it was black. For a long time now it has been RED (love the passion and energy of it) but of late have also been gravitating towards chartreuse....and BTW...I do wear it, decorate with it AND work with it. Guess I'm and all-in kinda girl.
LOVE the blue piece you produced. - August 5, 2008 at 12:41 AM

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Republicans Reject Taxes On The Rich To Pay For Jobs Bill -- But That's Not Obama's Plan
"If a joint committee bill achieving an amount greater than "$1,650,000,000,000" in deficit reduction as provided in section 401(b)(3)(B)(i)(II) of this Act is enacted by January 15, 2012, then the amendments to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 made by subtitles A through E of title IV of the American Jobs Act of 2011, shall not be in effect for any taxable year."
In other words, the White House's first choice would be for the Super Committee to "go big" and find much more deficit reduction than they're obligated to by the debt limit law. And they would count those additional savings toward the cost of the jobs bill. But if the panel can't do more than the bare minimum, the tax increases would go into effect.
The key question for Republicans to answer is whether the tax increases work as a second-choice penalty, with the first choice being left up to the bipartisan deficit committee.

As graduation day quickly approaches and we all reflect on our time at F&ES, we are also presented with the opportunity to give back through the 2016 Class Gift.
What is the Class Gift? Every year, the graduating class makes a collective gift to the Annual Fund at F&ES, which supports scholarships for future students in financial need. These scholarships provide meaningful aid to incoming students, while also symbolizing our school pride and peer support.
Our Class Gift continues this legacy of students giving back to our School and our students. For every $1,000 raised, a new "Class of 2016 Scholarship" is created for an incoming Class of 2018 student. We have set the goal of raising $5,000--that's five scholarships--with 100% participation from our class. This year, the campaign is focused on impact: the impact FES has had on you, and the impact your gift will have on the incoming class.
You will see the Class Gift Agents tabling in the Kroon Knob in front of a landscape that we designed. When you make a gift, we encourage you to increase the diversity of the landscape by adding to it, whether it be a fish, a leaf, a bird, or whatever you would like. We want to see a landscape that is as vibrant and full as our class, reflecting all of our generosity as we support future F&ES-ers.
Donations are accepted in-person through the Class Agents or by donating online here. You can track our progress as the landscape grows by checking this page throughout the campaign. We hope you take a moment to give what you can to the Class Gift and that you encourage your friends to give—gifts of all amounts count and make a real difference.
Thank you from your Class Gift Agents and future F&ESers!

Breakfast Challenge Tip 3: Eat Breakfast After You Work Out
By Hilary Meyer, February 28, 2012 - 4:53pm
One of the easiest ways to eat healthier is to have breakfast every day. Each day this week, we will post a new, easy tip to help you adopt this healthy habit for just one week.
Here's today's tip:
Tip 3: Eat Breakfast After You Work Out
Do you exercise in the morning? If you do, consider pushing your morning meal to after your workout—as it may help your weight-loss efforts, according to new research in The Journal of Physiology. During the six-week study, participants who ate a high-cal, high-fat breakfast before hitting the gym packed on an average of three pounds. The after-workout eaters? They gained almost no weight—although they ate the same breakfast. Find out why here.
Can't push through with a growling belly? "Try splitting your breakfast," suggests Leslie Bonci, R.D., director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh. "Have a 4-ounce yogurt before your workout and have whole-grain toast with peanut butter and a banana afterward."
Try one of these healthy breakfasts after you work out.
For more Breakfast Challenge tips, meal plans and recipes, visit the Breakfast Challenge landing page.

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
Antti Niemi made 22 saves and Logan Couture scored twice in the San Jose Sharks' 2-0 victory over the Canadiens on Saturday night in Montreal.
San Jose won for the first time in four attempts at the Bell Centre since Dec. 2002.
Carey Price made 35 saves for Montreal.
After a scoreless first period in which San Jose outshot Montreal 11-8, Couture scored a power-play goal at 6:20 of the second period.
Captain Joe Thornton sent a precise pass onto Couture's stick and the 24-year-old made no mistake from close range for his fifth goal of the year.

Unemployment rate falls to 8.3 pct. after hiring surge
By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
AP Economics Reporter
WASHINGTON (AP) — The unemployment rate fell for the fifth straight month after a surge of January hiring, a promising shift in the nation's outlook for job growth.
The Labor Department says employers added 243,000 jobs in January, the most in nine months. The unemployment rate dropped to 8.3 percent from 8.5 percent in December. That's the lowest in nearly three years.
Employers have added an average of 201,000 jobs per month in the past three months. That's 50,000 more jobs per month than the economy averaged in each month last year.
The January jobs report was filled with other encouraging data and revisions. Hiring was widespread across many high-paying industries. Pay increased. And the economy added 200,000 more jobs in 2011 than first thought.

Forum topic: Better explanations, forum search and tags
About the tags:
Somehow I didn't see the editor tag at first, thanks :P
You are right. I first thought it may be worth thinking about because there is quiet a number of games with a really buggy controller support, which is partly a result of a "wrong" default mapping of the xbox360 controller axis on linux (combined with bugs in in-game keybinding). But lgdb is no giant bug tracker and issues like this can still be stated in comments.
About the search:
How about a search tag, like "forum:$searchstring"? Are there even other search tags like "Game:"? If yes it would be something for the FAQ.
Forum topic: Better explanations, forum search and tags
>Oh and... I probably should open a new topic for those, but how about a "level editor" category tag?
check out this tag: http://www.lgdb.org/category/game_features/editor
>Also there could be tags for controller support and so on. The increasing rate of indie games being released on linux may need additional tags
I personally think we have already too many tags, (we already have more than the most gaming sites) - just have a look at our nice "confusing" adv. gamelist ;)
Forum topic: Only 1 video shows up
I think the screenshots are supposed to give a first impression. They are not supposed to show you all maps. Highlight the amount of levels or the level editor in the text or in a video. Look at how many screenshots exist for other games and reduce yours accordingly. This really is too much imho. To compensate the loss of information, I would make a video if I were you.
Also, there is a category tag for games with level editors.
But to come back to the topic, I have the same "problem" with only one video appearing here: http://www.lgdb.org/game/distance
I provided three youtube links, but it shows only the first one. This is especially disappointing because one of the videos not shown is actual gameplay on linux, while the trailers were made with the windows version.
Forum topic: Only 1 video shows up
Did you take it for a spin? It has 100+ maps. It comes with a map editor too so you can add your own maps.
Forum topic: Only 1 video shows up
I don't know about the video, but IMO there are _way_ too many screenshots. It took like 5 seconds to load in a psychedelic fashion, I was tempted to close the page without further looking at the description or some screenshots.
IMO the page should give a preview of your game, usually 4-5 screenshots is good (you can probably go up to 10 if you want, but not 80 or something).
Forum topic: First impressions... Are....
The game can be completed in less than 2 hours, according to my estimations.
They also were broadcasting a message a few time ago...
Forum topic: Something New
This games uses RenPy and is written in python, thus, it's cross-plataform.
It should work on any linux machine, even debian, apparently.
Also, when you right-click you open the save/load screen, that's a shortcut like 'Esc'. Left clicking should not do that. (Except by the fact that it did with me a few times...)
Forum topic: Fun, but...
If I'm not mistaken, there is a button to you skip the battles, that can be enabled by accessing the file "game/options.rpy" and changing the 'config.developer=False' to 'config.developer=True'.
(please note capitalization: "TRUE" or "true" will not work, case sensitive.)

Magic reminded of what was lost last June
January 18th, 2010, 7:57 am by JANIS CARR, OCREGISTER.COMThe Orlando Magic practiced at the Lakers' training facility Sunday and it turned out to be (pick one) 1. frustrating, 2. humiliating, 3. motivating, 4. envious, 5. wishing they were anywhere else.
How about all the above? That's because the Magic players had to walk under Jerry Buss' window, which displays the Lakers' 10 championship trophies, including the one they received for beating Orlando in the NBA Finals, as they headed out of the gym.
"You look at all of these banners around here and see that this is where we want to take our organization,'' Magic's Jameer Nelson said. "We stayed out there on the bench during the Lakers celebration because wanted that feeling stuck in our heads. We don't want anybody ever celebrating on our homecourt again.
"I don't know if you ever get over losing in The Finals until you win a championship. You get so close and you don't accomplish your goal, that's tough. We know we're still a good team and we plenty to still strive for.''
Dwight Howard said he tried not to look around too much at the banners and trophies that adorn the gym. Tough to do when there are 10 bright yellow banners hanging on the walls.
