EASTON, MA— The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's track and field team broke two more school records on their second and final day of competition at the Open New England Championships at Stonehill's W.B. Mason Stadium Saturday.
Sophomore Jake Texeira (Seekonk, MA/Seekonk HS) finished seventh in the 400 meter intermediate hurdles in 54.18 seconds.
Both the women's 4 x 100 meter relay team and the 4 x 400 meter relay team broke school records. The 4 x 1 relay team, which included freshman Barbara Okafor (Hyde Park, MA/Boston Latin HS), senior Jillian Van Ness (Agawam, MA/Agawam HS), and freshmen Michele-Le Meranda (Somerville, MA/Somerville HS) and Laquaysia Anderson-Jenkins (Brighton, MA/Brighton HS), broke the school record by nine-tenths of a second when they finished 13th in 48.34 seconds. The 4 x 4 relay team, with Anderson-Jenkins, Meranda, senior Morgan Cooper (Sunderland, MA/Frontier Regional HS) and Van Ness, was 20th in 4:00.94. Sophomore Katie Sheehan (Scituate, MA/Scituate HS) finished 15th in the 3000 meter steeplechase in 12:12.71.
"For Jake, it was a good preview if he is fortunate enough to get to nationals," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve Gardiner. "That's the first time he's ever had to race one day in the trials and come back the next day in the finals, and that's good experience. Our relay crew of five people keeps breaking records every time they run. It's a credit to their work ethic, to the fact they stayed on campus to train even when school was over and their classmates were already home, and it's also a credit to Assistant Coach Hal Miller, who's done a great job with them."
The Corsairs will return to action at the Eastern College Athletic Conference Championships next weekend.


text: Postfix and Dkim: Solved Hi, I'm running a Centos 6.3 and ispconfig 3 mailserver. I've installed postfix, dovecot and squirrelmail, which are all running fine. I'm trying to get opendkim working with postfix. I have got openskim to generate a dkim signature, which is added to outgoing emails, and also added the corresponding dns entry to match it. However, when I check the dkim entries with http://www.brandonchecketts.com/ is says: result = fail Details: bad RSA signature This is confirmed by sending emails through my hotmail account, and looking at the source. A quick check here shows that the public and private keys are correct, but they're not getting matched for the message. I'm assuming that the message is getting altered by some process after the dkim header has been added, but I'm at a loss to work out where that's happening, and what to do about it. Can anyone here shed any light on this problem? Many thanks.

The salad chefs I know fall into two camps: Some serve pre-washed bagged leafy greens straight from the bag. The others insist on washing them first, even though the bag label promises that the contents are "triple-washed."
Over the years, I've ignored those labels too. I typically dumped bagged greens in the salad spinner, added plenty of water and spun strenuously. After writing too many stories about food recalls, I vowed that family and friends were not going to swallow E. coli along with their spring mix and lemon vinaigrette.
Now it seems the straight-from-the-bag camp may have it right after all. By re-washing our greens, we may be making our salads dirtier, according to a bevy of food safety experts.
Even our best-kept kitchens can teem with all sorts of harmful pathogens, on cutting boards and in salad spinners, on knives that just sliced raw chicken, on damp, well-used cloth towels. "In brief, consumers don't wash up very well and may contaminate produce due to dirty hands and dirty sink," emailed Christine M. Bruhn, director of the Center for Consumer Research at UC Davis. That's especially a problem with salad greens, since they never get cooked.
Bruhn coauthored a 2007 article in the journal Food Production Trends that is widely quoted by food safety scholars. Its bottom line: Leafy greens in sealed bags with the "pre-washed" label from a properly inspected facility do not need to be re-washed unless the label directs it.
After reading the article, I decided to halt my re-washing ritual and put the salad spinner in storage.
But the food safety world is awash with advice, and on the subject of clean greens, some of it disagrees.
Food testers at Consumer Reports announced in 2010 that their tests of 208 containers of salad greens turned up bacteria that can indicate contamination, although no E. coli O157:H7 or salmonella, was found. Some experts criticized the methodology but the testers urged consumers to be wary. "Even if the bag says 'pre-washed' or 'triple-washed,' wash the greens yourself," they advised.
"We don't really see the potential for harm that other people do," said Jean Halloran, Consumer Union's director of food policy initiatives.
Then my editor, long a re-washer himself, spotted a bag of pre-washed salad at his local market with a label suggesting a rinse. I checked my own refrigerator and found a bag of organic baby spinach with this label: "Triple washed. Rinse with cool water to refresh."
Are merchants trying to pacify both camps, the re-washers and the non-washers?
I began asking other experts about their own salad-making rituals. None of the people I spoke to washed pre-washed bagged salads.
"Don't wash it," responded Douglas Powell, publisher of barfblog.com and professor of food safety at Kansas State University.
"Out of the bag," said Robert Buchanan, professor and director of the Center for Food Safety and Security Systems at the University of Maryland.
But some, like microbiology professor Michael Doyle at the University of Georgia, forego bagged greens altogether, just to be safe. "We eat a lot of vegetables," Doyle said. "We eat a lot of lettuce. We buy heads and peel off the outer layers."
Friends in Santa Monica invited me over to dinner a few weeks ago. A bowl on their kitchen counter overflowed with fresh leafy greens in all sorts of shapes and colors, including oak leaf lettuce and sorrel.
My friends raise a panoply of greens in their front yard. They do not buy bagged salads. They sent me home with a large plastic bag stuffed with greens that make commercial bagged greens taste like shredded paper towels.
Maybe it's time to invest in seed packets.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — For those of us who cannot get enough of the actual games of basketball, and not necessarily all of the periphery factors involved, this part of the offseason has only a few possibilities.
If you're in the right city at the right time and you just happen to stumble upon the right court, you could get treated to what hoops heads in Seattle have been enjoying this summer. Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Blake Griffin, Spencer Hawes and many others have shown up there this summer and dropped jaws with their play in the Jamal Crawford Pro Am.
The Los Angeles Clippers star has been a more than gracious host, but he's a showman at heart. So you know he couldn't let those other guys put on a better show than he could on his home turf.
The @JCrossover show was in full effect over the weekend … enjoy the freak show the Lob City crew put on (combining for 100 points in one game. Highlights above and below courtesy of our friends at Ball is Life):

|Migraine without aura
|Previously used terms
|Common migraine, hemicrania simplex
Recurrent headache disorder manifesting in attacks lasting 4-72 hours. Typical characteristics of the headache are unilateral location, pulsating quality, moderate or severe intensity, aggravation by routine physical activity and association with nausea and/or photophobia and phonophobia
Diagnostic criteria:
- At least 5 attacks1 fulfilling criteria B-D
- Headache attacks lasting 4-72 hours (untreated or unsuccessfully treated)2;3;4
- Headache has at least two of the following characteristics:
- unilateral location5;6
- pulsating quality7
- moderate or severe pain intensity
- aggravation by or causing avoidance of routine physical activity (eg, walking or climbing stairs)
- During headache at least one of the following:
- nausea and/or vomiting
- photophobia and phonophobia8
- Not attributed to another disorder9
- Differentiating between 1.1 Migraine without aura and 2.1 Infrequent episodic tension-type headache may be difficult. Therefore at least 5 attacks are required. Individuals who otherwise meet criteria for 1.1 Migraine without aura but have had fewer than 5 attacks should be coded 1.6.1 Probable migraine without aura.
- When the patient falls asleep during migraine and wakes up without it, duration of the attack is reckoned until the time of awakening.
- In children, attacks may last 1-72 hours (although the evidence for untreated durations of less than 2 hours in children requires corroboration by prospective diary studies).
- When attacks occur on ≥15 days/month for >3 months, code as 1.1 Migraine without aura and as 1.5.1 Chronic migraine.
- Migraine headache is commonly bilateral in young children; an adult pattern of unilateral pain usually emerges in late adolescence or early adult life.
- Migraine headache is usually frontotemporal. Occipital headache in children, whether unilateral or bilateral, is rare and calls for diagnostic caution; many cases are attributable to structural lesions.
- Pulsating means throbbing or varying with the heartbeat.
- In young children, photophobia and phonophobia may be inferred from their behaviour.
- 9. History and physical and neurological examinations do not suggest any of the disorders listed in groups 5-12, or history and/or physical and/or neurological examinations do suggest such disorder but it is ruled out by appropriate investigations, or such disorder is present but attacks do not occur for the first time in close temporal relation to the disorder.
1.1 Migraine without aura is the commonest subtype of migraine. It has a higher average attack frequency and is usually more disabling than 1.2 Migraine with aura.
Migraine without aura often has a strict menstrual relationship. In contrast to the first edition of The International Classification of Headache Disorders, this edition gives criteria for A1.1.1 Pure menstrual migraine and A1.1.2 Menstrually-related migraine, but in the appendix because of uncertainty over whether they should be regarded as separate entities.
Very frequent migraine attacks are now distinguished as 1.5.1 Chronic migraine provided that there is no medication overuse. Migraine without aura is the disease most prone to accelerate with frequent use of symptomatic medication, resulting in a new headache which is coded as 8.2 Medication-overuse headache.
Regional cerebral blood flow shows no changes suggestive of cortical spreading depression during attacks of migraine without aura although blood flow changes in the brainstem may occur, as may cortical changes secondary to pain activation. This contrasts with the pathognomonic spreading oligaemia of migraine with aura. In all likelihood spreading depression is therefore not involved in migraine without aura. On the other hand the messenger molecules nitric oxide (NO) and calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) are clearly involved. While the disease was previously regarded as primarily vascular, the importance of sensitisation of perivascular nerve terminals, and the possibility that attacks may originate in the central nervous system, have gained increasing attention over the last decades. At the same time the circuitry of migraine pain and several aspects of neurotransmission in this system have been recognised. A significant contribution has been made by the advent of the triptans, 5HT1B/D receptor agonists. These drugs have remarkable efficacy in acute attacks and, in view of their high receptor-specificity, their mechanism of action provides new insight into migraine mechanisms. It is now clear that migraine without aura is a neurobiological disorder and clinical as well as basic neuroscience currently advances our knowledge of migraine mechanisms at an increasing speed.

Plea Agreement in The Kevin Harper Case
Kevin Harper's defense attorney made a surprising announcement, moments into a Tuesday status hearing for a special prosecutor's investigation.
"We have been extended an offer," said defense attorney Pete Mazzone. "We were hammering it out last night. Mr. Harper knows nothing about it because we haven't had a chance to tell him."
Word of the offer stopped the hearing cold and sent it into recess. Harper walked back into court an hour later smiling and gesturing to his supporters.
Pete Mazzone told the court his team and prosecutors worked out a tentative plea deal but remained tight-lipped.
KIMA reached out to all sides for information but no one is talking.
"No comment on anything right now," said Mazzone.
Before the deal, Harper was being tried on three counts of first degree murder for the deaths of Bill, Pauline and Elizabeth Goggin in West Valley last year.
This plea bargain could very well lower those charges.
The defense wanted the case thrown out altogether over claims prosecutors withheld documents and that detectives eavesdropped on Harper's jail conversations with his lawyer.
Those eavesdropping claims prompted the special prosecutor's investigation.
The allegations were brought to light when the case's prosecutors revealed detectives and jail workers accessed those recorded calls.
The plea deal could also mean the end of that.
The triple murder trial was forced to start at the end of August because of Harper's right to a speedy trial. But, a jury wasn't expected to be seated until November.
Any details about the plea agreement have yet to be released.
More information is expected to come Wednesday, at a second status hearing being held in the afternoon.

Former police sergeant Drew Peterson is convicted of killing his third wife
On this day in 2012, in a case that generated national headlines, former Illinois police officer Drew Peterson is found guilty in the 2004 murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Savio's death originally was ruled an accident after her body was discovered in an empty bathtub at her suburban Chicago home; however, the 2007 disappearance of Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, led authorities to reopen the Savio case and eventually label her death a homicide.
Peterson, who was born in January 1954, joined the police department in Bolingbrook, Illinois, in 1977. In May 1992, several months after divorcing his second wife, Peterson married Kathleen Savio, with whom he went on to have two children. In the fall of 2002, while embroiled in contentious divorce proceedings, Savio wrote a letter to an Illinois prosecutor stating that Peterson had threatened her life and that she was afraid of him. The couple's divorce was granted in October 2003, and later that same month Peterson, then 49, wed 19-year-old Stacy Cales, who became known as Stacy Peterson. The pair had two children together. On March 1, 2004, Savio, age 40, was found dead in a bathtub in her Bolingbrook home. She had a gash on the back of her head, leading investigators to believe she had drowned after slipping in the tub. Three years later, on October 28, 2007, Stacy Peterson went missing. Also a Bolingbrook resident, she had failed to show up after arranging to help a friend paint a house.
In early November of 2007, police named Drew Peterson a suspect in Stacy's disappearance and also announced they were re-opening the investigation into Kathleen Savio's death. Savio's body was exhumed for further examination, and in February 2008 authorities officially declared her death a homicide. In May 2009 Peterson was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the drowning death of Savio. Prior to his arrest, Peterson, who resigned as a sergeant with the Bolingbrook Police Department in late 2007, appeared arrogant in public, seemed to court media attention and made flippant comments about Stacy's disappearance. His case made headlines and garnered public interest, even inspiring a 2012 television movie, "Drew Peterson: Untouchable," in which he was portrayed by Rob Lowe.
During Peterson's trial, which began in July 2012, prosecutors claimed the former police officer had killed Savio and staged her death to look like an accident, fearing the couple's pending divorce settlement would ruin him financially. The prosecution had no physical evidence directly linking Peterson to the crime. Instead, the case was built on "from-the-grave" testimony in the form of statements Savio made to friends and relatives before she perished, alleging Drew Peterson had threatened to kill her and make it look like an accident. Other testimony included that of Stacy Peterson's pastor, who recalled that, two months before she went missing, Stacy told him that Peterson left their house around the time of Savio's death, returning home dressed in black and carrying a bag of women's clothing that he put in their washing machine. According to the pastor, Stacy said Peterson spent hours coaching her on how to lie to police and provide a false alibi for him on the night of Savio's death. Additionally, a divorce attorney contacted by Stacy Peterson just days before she vanished testified in court that Stacy intended to divorce Peterson and wondered if her knowledge of the fact that he murdered Savio could be used against him in divorce proceedings.
Normally, such hearsay would be barred at trial. But in 2008, Illinois legislators passed a law tailored to the Peterson case (and nicknamed "Drew's Law") that allows judges to admit hearsay evidence into court for first-degree murder cases if prosecutors can prove a defendant might have killed a witness to prevent that person from testifying.
Peterson's defense team, meawhile, argued that Savio accidentally fell in her tub, hit her head and drowned. However, pathology experts for the prosecution testified that the injuries Savio sustained—a wound on the back of her head and more than a dozen bruises on the front of her body—could not have been caused by a single fall. On September 6, 2012, a jury in Joliet, Illinois, found Peterson guilty in Savio's murder, and on February 21, 2013, he was sentenced to 38 years behind bars. Stacy Peterson has never been found. Drew Peterson has asserted that she left him for another man, but authorities suspect Peterson murdered his fourth wife because she could have implicated him in his third wife's death. No charges have been filed in that case.

BAND member Lisa Ransdell has set plans for the one year anniversary of the reinstatement of the Denver breed ban and here they are...
On Tuesday, May 9th we'll have a Candlelight Vigil outside Denver's Municipal Animal Shelter to memorialize the 1100 dogs that have been killed just because of the way they look. We will all arrive at 8 p.m. for an official 8:30 p.m. start time. Address and directions to the shelter are below.
This will be a solemn event, there will be no speakers, but probably plenty of media, so we ask you to please be the best representative of our breeds you can be. The theme will be about the dogs, so highlight that in your signs, specifically that these dogs are targeted for how they look. As you know, many other breeds of dogs have been identified by Animal Control as Pit Bulls that have been American Bulldogs, Mastiffs, Boxer mixes, etc.
If you or someone you know has had their dogs killed by Denver's Animal Control as part of this breed ban, please e-mail photos of the dogs to both of these e-mail addresses: email@example.com and email@example.com. She will put them on a large banner that will show some of the dogs that have been killed.
Please bring your own candle, and know that if it is windy that night, it could be a good idea to bring a brown paper bag with you as well to keep the candle from blowing out. We will have some candles there, but not enough for everyone.
If you need help with ideas for your own sign, stop by the SorryAgain.com website to see how some of the captions of the photos from that site highlight the dogs. Many of them say things like, "I'm sorry you're scared of me," alongside the photo or "I'm sorry you want to kill me just for the way I look."
This event is to commemorate the dogs and highlight the fact that dogs are being killed just for the way they look. I've talked to dog people from all around the country who do not truly believe that the City of Denver is picking up good family dogs and killing them. People need to know this is happening here and is happening or could happen elsewhere.
If you are outside of Denver, but want to support us, feel free to have your own vigil at 8:30 p.m. Mountain Time (10:30 p.m. Eastern Time, 7:30 p.m. Pacific Time) and write to let us know what you are doing. We dog people are all in this together!
I'm going to ask you to e-mail here at firstname.lastname@example.com only if you can come--you don't need to write if you can't make it--so we can get a good count. If you need further information, please contact Lisa at the above address. I hope to see you there.

The Pit Bull BAND (Breed Awareness, Not Discrimination)
Denver Municipal Animal Shelter is at 678 South Jason Street. The nearest major cross streets are Alameda and I-25. If you take the first light south, just west of the I-25 overpass from Alameda Street, that is Jason. The shelter will be on the left a few blocks down.

There are two stories in the news today that I think are related, even though at first glance they don't appear to be.
Here's the first story from Reuters:
CHICAGO, Nov 12 – Political watchdog and secularist groups are asking the U.S. government to investigate whether Catholic bishops and a Christian evangelical group headed by preacher Billy Graham should lose tax breaks for telling followers how to vote in this year's election.
Those tax breaks are reportedly "worth $145 billion in the past decade." There was no comment from a spokeswoman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, but a spokesman for Billy Graham, who actually signed his ad, said that it did not mention any candidate or political party. Hmm.
On Sunday, November 4—two days before the election—this very expensive full-page ad appeared in the Joplin Globe:
In the corner it says, "Paid Advertisement By The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association," and it is obvious the ad, which appeared in numerous publications, was a call to vote for Romney-Ryan and the Republican Party.
But the first thing I thought about when I saw that ad was how much money my late mother donated to Billy Graham and how disappointed she, as a life-long Democrat, would be to see what Graham had done.
I also thought about something else. When I was a kid, several of Billy Graham's books were in the house, including a book that scared me to death, "World Aflame." If nothing else, it was the cover that frightened me:
I was seven years old when that book came out. The earth engulfed in flames, and the threat of eternal damnation awaiting those who didn't surrender to Jesus, tends to make a kid a little fearful, the kind of fear that never quite disappears, no matter how old one gets or how far one gets from the source.
In any case, the basis of Graham's pro-Romney, pro-Republican political ad, and his ministry in general, is the kind of fear I felt profoundly as a kid, when I understood what that book was about. The line in the political ad about it being "vitally important" that "we" vote for "candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and support the nation of Israel" is telling.
In "World Aflame," Graham wrote:
The Bible teaches that God is indeed a God of judgment, wrath, and anger.
And he speculated in the book that God will ultimately use "the elemental and creative form of fire" to destroy this earth and "bring into being" a new one, "a fire of judgment upon the wicked world." He continued:
I believe the earth will be consumed by fire, not only because God said it, but because science has created weapons that can do it.
Consumed by fire. That's the price to be paid for not following biblical principles, for not supporting the nation of Israel, which folks like Graham believe is the key to the End Times.
Consumed by fire. Presumably, that's the price to be paid for not supporting Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan and the Republicans. What else can "vitally important" mean in the context of Billy Graham's consumed-by-fire ministry, the same ministry that paid for that ad?
I mention all that to make the point that some of the people who would be moved by a Billy Graham ad, moved by a theological appeal to vote for Republicans, moved by a Bible-based fear, see themselves as living in an entirely different country than the one I live in. These folks were genuinely shocked that Barack Obama won a second term. They, like Mitt Romney himself, honestly could not believe it. Why didn't the Bible-based fear work this time?
What kind of country is this? they asked. What happened to our America? The last line in Graham's ad was this:
Vote for biblical values this November 6, and pray with me that America will remain one nation under God.
Translation: If you don't vote for Republicans then "one nation under God" is in jeopardy.
Yes, in jeopardy. And that leads me to the second story that came out today:
Just a week after President Barack Obama was re-elected, a petition by Texans for the right to secede from the rest of the country has garnered some 64,000 signatures, many more than the 25,000 signature threshold needed to get a response from the Obama administration.
The petition was made on the government's "We the People" petitioning web site, along with secession petitions from at least 18 other states.
As I write, Texas now has more than 72,000 signatures. Locally, the Missouri secession petition has over 10,000 signatures. Oklahoma has over 11,000, Arkansas has almost 15,000, and Kansas is way behind at around 3,000.
So, what happened to "one nation under God"? These folks, many of whom I can safely assume are conservative Christians, don't have a problem with the "under God" part of it, just the "one nation" part, particularly if they don't get their way in a "vitally important" election, particularly if the nation doesn't embrace the Republican Party.
Perhaps it is that Billy Graham and other Christian extremists, who claim to want us to be "one nation," mean that we can only be so under their conception of God, which is a very Republican one. Otherwise, some of them want to take their states, and presumably their God, and go their own way.
Thus it is that those groups that are asking the government to investigate Graham and the Catholic bishops for their partisan advocacy are exactly right. If religious zealots want to put the fear of a Republicanized God into voters, and argue for one nation under that God, then the rest of us shouldn't have to pay for it.
By the way, a counter-petition has been offered against the secessionists, one that suggests we should,
Deport Everyone That Signed A Petition To Withdraw Their State From The United States Of America.
So far, it has only about 2,400 votes.

Max George: The Wanted Broke Up Because Of One Direction Rivalry
The real reason why The Wanted broke up has finally been revealed, and it's not what we expected. Singer Max George blames the group's demise on its not-so-friendly rivalry with fellow boy band One Direction. Could this really be the reason?
Max George has broken his silence about why The Wanted decided to split up after four years together. In addition to growing tension between the band members, the singer admits that they just couldn't compete with the huge success of One Direction.
Max George On The Wanted Breaking Up — One Direction Rivalry Caused Split
The Wanted shocked fans around the world when they announced on Jan. 22 that they would be taking a break to focus on their individual careers. But it turns out that wasn't the only reason the British band broke up.
"One Direction are a phenomenon that no one else can compete with," Max confessed in a new interview with The Sun. "They've taken over the market. We have our own fans, who we love, but we couldn't stop things from happening."
We have a feeling The Wanted fans won't be happy to hear this, but hey, at least the band members have plans to embark on solo careers.
The Wanted Members To Pursue 'Personal Endeavors'
The Wanted released a statement on their website TheWantedMusic.com announcing their temporary split on Jan. 22:
This tour will be their last for a while as Tom, Max, Jay, Siva and Nathan have collectively decided to take time to pursue personal endeavours following the tour's conclusion. The band wants to stress to their fans that they will continue on as The Wanted and look forward to many successful projects together in the future. They thank their fans for their continued love and support and look forward to seeing them on tour.
"It shouldn't be a surprise for anyone," Max told The Sun. "As upsetting as it might be to some of the other guys, I have to live my life. Nathan and I haven't broken any promises either because we're both going to be on the tour."
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Is One Direction to blame for The Wanted's break up? Or is this just an excuse? Let us know.

Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen was a British fashion designer. Born in London in 1969, the youngest of six children, he left school at sixteen and went straight into an apprenticeship at the traditional Savile Row tailors Anderson and Sheppard. He then gained further experience at neighbouring tailors Gieves and Hawkes.
From there McQueen moved to the theatrical costumiers Angels and Bermans where he mastered six methods of pattern cutting, from the melodramatic sixteenth century to the brutally sharp tailoring that became a McQueen signature.
Aged twenty McQueen was employed by the designer Koji Tatsuno, who also had roots in British tailoring, and a year later he travelled to Milan to be Romeo Gigili's design assistant. He finally returned to London in 1994 where he completed the MA Fashion course at Central Saint Martins College of Art. His degree collection was famously bought in its entirety by the fashion director and tastemaker Isabella Blow.
McQueen was dubbed an 'enfant terrible' by the international fashion press and became one of the youngest designers to achieve the title of 'British Designer of the Year' in 1996, 1997 and again in 2001.
From October 1996 to March 2001 McQueen held the position of Chief Designer at the French Haute Couture House Givenchy. In December 2000 his own label underwent a partnership with Gucci, who acquired 51% of the company.
In 2003, McQueen was awarded a CBE and 'British Designer of the Year' for the fourth time. He launched a diffusion line, McQ, in 2005.
McQueen died at the age of 40 in 2010.

Dear readers, authors and fellow bloggers,
This is just a short note from me to explain why my blog has experienced a hiatus of sorts for the past month or so. It has been an incredibly difficult time for me and it's been increasingly hard for me to keep up with reading, reviewing, etc.
This September, my relationship of 15 or so months of incredible love and emotion reached its conclusion. Naturally, this leaves a huge stain on one's emotions and I
was am still very emotional and sad about it. It also was a very strenuous time in school, with six exams I have to pass and very little time to do it.
I am very aware that this sort of post can seem unprofessional. The truth is, I'm not a professional blogger. I don't make any money off of this. And when I (as I'm sure many other bloggers do) review a book, it's because our passion for the industry, for the authors and for the written word.
So I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the month of September - the reviews I failed to write, the giveaways I failed to wrap up (and which I'm going to do very soon, the best way I can) and the posts I failed to comment.
This blog is my baby, but I had to temporarily abandon it. Life took over. And I'm happy to continue balancing everything the best I can.
Thank you everybody. Just following your blogs in my Google Reader and reading your books is making my world a better place.

The five-year old Aggie Softball Complex, located at the corner of Benbow and Sullivan Streets is a welcome addition to the Aggie athletics department. Prior to the construction of this facility the Lady Aggies played their home games at a local park.
Construction on the facility began in August of 2004 and the initial phase was completed in February of 2005. The field is located east of the Ford Motor Complex formerly Aggie Stadium. It was always the intention to develop that entire area into game regulation facilities. Previously, the field was used as a practice field for baseball. When they moved to the Memorial Stadium, former home of the Greensboro Bats, this provided the perfect opportunity to begin development.
The complex is NCAA compliant regulation. The outfield is made up of tif sport Bermuda grass while the infield is a skinned clay turf mixture. The dimensions are 210 feet down the line and 220 feet to center field with fences that are 6-feet high. It has two bull pens and two batting cages, both located on the 1st and 3rd base sides. The dugouts are above ground and it has a digital scoreboard, however at this time it is not equipped to host night games.
There is an underground sprinkler system designed in zones to only water the infield to keep the dust down. Although there are no permanent concession stands at the moment, there is a mobile concession area for fans to enjoy. The location of the field offers fans the ability to bring the whole family out to picnic on the hill while enjoying the game.
The benefits of having a park on campus are starting to show through recruiting. In 2007, the school reached its first-ever fast-pitch MEAC softball championship game.

Faculty and Staff Computer Support Policy – Full
Revision Date:2013-07-10
Revision Number:1.1
Policy Information:
Information Technology Services (ITS) at Northern Arizona University supports the mission of NAU by providing desktop computing solutions for faculty and staff.
Demand for ITS services is high; our support policy was developed to focus our efforts on the most critical needs of NAU faculty and staff as our core mission. We cannot service equipment that is not owned by NAU, nor can we offer services to relatives or friends of NAU employees, or members of the community at large. These activities are inappropriate use of state funds and improper competition with local vendors. When you call for service, please be prepared to identify yourself with your NAU computer account user ID and your computer property control number. Remember that your NAU computer account is for your use only. Never give your account information to family or friends for their use. We will decline service to anyone calling with account information that is not their own.
Note: *There is no charge for our services; however, we do charge for non-warranty parts that must be purchased to complete a repair.
Support Process
We have a two-tier support model. First level support for faculty and staff is provided by phone through the ITS Solution Center at 523-1511. Students should call the Student Technology Center at 523-9294 for assistance. You may also submit a request for assistance through the ServiceNow work order system. If the Solution Center staff is unable to assist over the phone, a work order will be created and forwarded to the appropriate second level support team.
ITS maintains a list of supported systems and software developed with efficiency and campus needs in mind. Full support means we maintain staff trained in supporting the product and will install parts or upgrades for systems, answer all questions, or assist with getting answers or support directly from vendors if necessary. Partially supported means we will do our best to provide support if resources allow. If a system or software is not listed for full or partial support, it means we do not provide any support for that system or software. Unique requests in support of the NAU mission should be coordinated with ITS for consideration and possible assistance. Details regarding supported hardware and software can be found in this policy directory.
A Property Control Number is required for hardware service. NAU computers located off campus must be returned to campus for service appointments.
Software that is not necessary for NAU work will not be supported. Non-essential software causing problems on a machine will be removed and we will ask that it not be re-installed. If we are asked to re-visit a machine for the same problem, we will inform a supervisor and let them know that if there is another occurrence of the same problem we will no longer service the machine.
ITS staff cannot troubleshoot or configure the wide variety of cable, satellite, DSL, and other varieties of vendor-provided Internet access. Once a connection is established we will assist in setting up a connection to NAU's Virtual Private Network (VPN).
Exclusive contract with Dell
NAU has a contract with Dell for the purchase of desktop computers, notebooks, and servers. It is a contract violation to purchase a Windows desktop or laptop system from any other vendor. Macintosh desktops and laptops and Unix-based equipment such as Sun systems, fill technical needs not met by Dell offerings and therefore may be purchased. If you feel you need an exception to the Dell contract, you may request an exception from the Purchasing Department. Exceptions will be considered if they involve technical needs that cannot be met by our contracted vendor(s). In cases where purchases are approved for other vendors, you must arrange support through the vendor at the time of purchase as we cannot support non-standard equipment.
ITS maintains spare warranty parts for standard Dell models. We have Dell-certified technicians to perform hardware troubleshooting and repair. ITS also provides warranty and non-warranty repairs for Apple computers and has an Apple certified technician on staff.
Important Note: only certified Dell technicians may open Dell systems under warranty. Anyone else opening the computer case will VOID the warranty. Please call us for service and do not attempt to fix your own machine.
For non-warranty repairs on supported equipment, we have standard parts in inventory or available by express order. Due to concerns regarding parts compatibility and quality we reserve the right to only install and support parts that are purchased from us.
ITS gladly provides consultation for new system and peripheral equipment purchases.

Best Kids Parties: Hello Kitty
Name: Chrysilla, 7
Location: Karawang, West Java
My daughter turned seven this past year, and she want me to make her birthday party with Hello Kitty theme.
For the party, I designed and printed out everything myself. For the dessert table, I made milk pudding, strawberry milk, bento boxes, chocolate bars, cupcakes, french fries, and popcorn.
Each girl received a Hello Kitty bandana to wear during the party, and a doll to take as a party favor.
Thanks, Astri!

Comic 500 Speculation
9 comments:
There are two kinds of landmark comics. There are those which will be self-congratulatory--and I think that's okay, even though '500' usually includes guest comics. And then there are comics which make jokes about how they aren't joking about #500.ReplyDelete
Sometimes they have a serious aside. Sometimes not. I don't know. I'm not actually worried about this one for some reason, except possibly that it will be a huge anticlimax.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest it will probably suck. We will all be disappointed, and yet, still keep reading in the vain hope xkcd returns to its former glory.ReplyDelete
If you put it like that...ReplyDelete
We are kind of ridiculous.
I have all sorts of crazy theories about how it will actually be a giant explosion of internet memes, election results, and the ending to this current story arc (which seems paced wrong to end tomorrow). I will elaborate perhaps over the weekend.ReplyDelete
I would like to point out that it is actually the 499th comic, as there is no comic #404. That being said, I think it will have election results. There is no way to predict the future.ReplyDelete
The landmark number in the comic numbering is usually more important than the actual landmark number of comics. This is something I have observed in a number of webcomics past.ReplyDelete
I told my roommate comic 500 was coming up. His expression became a look of horror and disgust.ReplyDelete

Can't wait to see your post about this shit-tacular comic.ReplyDelete

text: Eat Burgers, not Hockey Pucks with this Handy Gadget June 19, 2014 07:48 AM Tweet A food thermometer is the easiest way to know when your burger is done. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By News Release Email Canada Beef and the Canadian Partnership for Consumer Food Safety Education have launched a campaign to save Canadians from eating hockey pucks this summer. "All too often the humble hamburger is cooked beyond tasty recognition," says Joyce Parslow, a professional home economist with Canada Beef. "A food thermometer is a quick and very effective way of knowing just when your burger is done. There is no more guessing, which means hockey pucks can stay on the ice and burgers can be enjoyed all summer long." The two groups are encouraging Canadians to share a photo of themselves at the grill (or in the kitchen) using their trusty thermometer to determine burger or steak doneness and share the picture in social media using the hashtag #ThelfieCA (a combination of Thermometer and Selfie). "A food thermometer takes the guesswork out of cooking," says Brenda Watson, Executive Director for the Canadian Partnership for Consumer Food Safety Education. "By following the temperature guidelines for everything from steaks to chops, you'll be the King or Queen of the grill!" For beef burgers, the most popular item on Canadian grills in the summer, Parslow suggest remembering this little jingle, "your burger is done at 71!" (That's 71 C or 160 F). Temperature guidelines for all foods can be found at befoodsafe.ca. Here are some other handy tips: For burgers and steaks or chops, insert your thermometer sideways into the meat To make the perfect Canadian beef burgers, visit makeitbeef.ca Using a thermometer is easy. Use when you're barbecuing burgers, poultry pieces, steaks, sausages, chops and more. Use for Oven Roast Beef, so you know your roast is not overcooked. You won't be ruining good cuts of meat by overcooking or by cutting them open to check doneness. Colour or appearance of meat and meat juices are not reliable indicators of safe doneness Research indicates that a beef burger may be brown in centre before it reaches a safe temperature or it could remain pink even after proper cooking. Digital instant read or programmable thermometers are the best value in thermometers since they can be used in all foods, even casseroles. Thermometers can cost between $10 and $30 Available at Loblaws, Real Canadian Superstore, Zehrs, and affiliated stores in the housewares section or with barbecue supplies Use in all foods - burgers, chicken pieces, roasts, casseroles or whole birds. The Canadian Partnership for Consumer Food Safety Education (the Partnership) is a national association of public and private organizations committed to educating Canadians about the ease and importance of food safety and safe food handling practices at home. More at befoodsafe.ca Canada Beef is the cattle producer-funded and run organization responsible for domestic and international beef and veal market development. It has offices in Canada, Mexico, Japan, China, and Taiwan. Canada Beef works to foster loyalty to the Canadian beef brand and build strong relationships with trade customers and partners. These efforts increase demand for Canadian beef and veal and value producers receive for their cattle. Source: Canada Beef Inc. Back to news

A lot of POC have pointed out that all the lines from the racists on the show are going to end up being repurposed by shitty real world racists, who will then immediately pretend that they're just "quoting" fictional things, and it doesn't mean anything.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑31 Jul 2017, 2:53pmAh, okay. My very superficial reading on the controversy suggested that it was the concept itself that was considered offensive, which seemed a bit odd to me. I guess kind of like the Secret Empire/Cap is a Nazi thing going on. It has the potential to be a useful critique of the corruption of American institutions and values, but the story is fucking boring.Flex wrote: ↑31 Jul 2017, 2:32pmI think it's mistrust that the Game of Thrones guys are doing it. They haven't evinced a very deep understanding of race or gender issues on their current show.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑31 Jul 2017, 2:16pmCan someone explain to me the criticism about this confederacy show that's going to be on HBO? The criticism/assumption is that it'll, I guess, glamourize or make palatable the idea of slavery. But does that have to be so? Why couldn't it be a means of highlighting how much institutional racism and exploitative labour practices actually exist, to emphasize the hypocrisy of American rhetoric of freedom and equality? I assume I'm just missing something, but I'm not seeing where a show with this concept necessarily precludes critique of social reality.
That and, in a operative and real sense, we already kind of live in a world where the south might as well have won, and they don't really want to see a world run by racists and slavers presented as a fiction when the reality isn't much different for many.
But this isn't my fight.

Texas Rangers arrest John Wesley Hardin
Texas Ranger John Armstrong arrests John Wesley Hardin in a Florida rail car, returning the outlaw to Texas to stand trial for murder.
Three years earlier, Hardin had killed Deputy Sheriff Charles Webb in a small town near Austin, Texas. Webb's murder was one in a long series of killings committed by the famous outlaw-the 39th by Hardin's own count. Killing a lawman, however, was an especially serious offense. The famous Texas Rangers were determined to bring Hardin to justice.
For three years, Hardin was able to elude the Rangers. Moving between Florida and Alabama, he adopted an alias and kept a low profile. Nonetheless, the Rangers eventually unmasked his secret identity and dispatched John Armstrong to track him down in Florida.
On this day in 1877, Armstrong, acting on a tip, spotted Hardin in the smoking car of a train stopped at the Pensacola station. Armstrong stationed local deputies at both ends of the car, and the men burst in with guns drawn. Caught by surprise, Hardin nonetheless reacted quickly and reached for the gun holstered under his jacket. The pistol caught in Hardin's fancy suspenders, giving the lawmen the crucial few seconds they needed and probably saving Hardin's life–instead of shooting him, Armstrong clubbed Hardin with his long-barreled .45 pistol.
Technically, the Texas Rangers had no authority in Florida, so they spirited Hardin back to Texas on the next train. Tried in Austin, a jury found Hardin guilty of killing Sheriff Webb and sentenced him to life in the Texas state prison at Huntsville. He served 15 years before the governor pardoned him. Released in 1894, an El Paso policeman killed him the following year.
