Does this Warm Wall Color Work?
Q: I need help with my living room wall color! When I moved in, it was this warm golden color and I just don't think it is working. (Or maybe I am being overly critical and it does work?) I have a lot of pops of color, so I am thinking maybe white? I need suggestions, help!!!

SEFFNER | The syringes started going missing a few days before all this happened, Jim Foster says. He was going to talk to his son about it, but then the detectives came and turned the whole place upside down and took Tony Foster away and the next night they charged him with killing Stick and Stick's roommate and now Jim doesn't know when he'll get the chance.
SEFFNER | The syringes started going missing a few days before all this happened, Jim Foster says. He was going to talk to his son about it, but then the detectives came and turned the whole place upside down and took Tony Foster away and the next night they charged him with killing Stick and Stick's roommate and now Jim doesn't know when he'll get the chance.
But even if his son was using again, Jim Foster says that still doesn't explain why he would have killed his friend Joshua Deas, 24 (better known as "Stick" for his lanky frame) and Deas' roommate, Kenneth Simmons Jr., 34, last weekend like the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office says he did.
Tony Foster was not violent, not even on cocaine, Jim says. And Stick was his best friend, the guy who biked almost 20 miles from Seffner to Gibsonton years ago to play basketball and sleep over.
Karen Deas, Joshua's mother, is equally perplexed. She never knew Tony to be violent. But Karen Deas and Jim Foster know the case the Sheriff's Office says it has against Charles Anthony Foster, details revealed Friday with the release of search warrants obtained for the Foster residence and the car of Simmons, Deas' roommate.
Jim Foster knows it doesn't look good for his son.
Last Saturday, according to the warrants, the day before the bodies were found, Joshua Deas filed a fraud report with the Sheriff's Office. Someone had taken $480 from his bank account. The money, according to the bank, had been withdrawn from a Circle K in Seffner. Surveillance video showed a man at the ATM the store's manager and Karen Deas later identified as Tony Foster.
When the detectives arrived at the scene of the double murder Sunday evening, they were greeted by Karen Deas and Tony Foster, 23. A detective noticed dark stains on Foster's gray sweatshirt. Ravioli, he said. Then he changed his story. It was blood, from his arm, from when he shot up cocaine earlier.
The detectives asked him what else he had done Sunday.
Foster said he'd tried to find a job that morning, was unsuccessful, then went to the mobile home he shares with his girlfriend and father and got high. He admitted the drug use violated his probation for a conviction of providing a false name to a metal recycler.
After shooting up, Foster said, he stayed home until Deas came looking for her son.
Foster said he visited Joshua Deas and Simmons most afternoons to play video games and cards. He'd been there the night before, but left about 6:30 p.m. so Deas could rest for work the next day. Deas never showed up for his shift at Walmart in Valrico.
Detectives suspect Foster is lying. Here's how they think he spent his weekend, according to the warrants:
Sometime overnight Saturday, he killed Deas and Simmons, bludgeoning their upper bodies with a sharp object, like an ax or a hatchet.
At 8:15 a.m. Sunday, a man tried to use Deas' bank card to withdraw $100 from a Bank of America in Seffner. The man in surveillance video looks like Foster, detectives say, and he's driving a vehicle similar to Simmons' green Isuzu Rodeo missing from the crime scene.
About 10 a.m. Sunday, Foster tried unsuccessfully to cash a personal check, written to him, from Simmons at an Amscot in Seffner. Amscot kept copies of the check, Foster's state ID and thumbprint. Detectives later found the checkbook in Simmons' car, parked in a gas station a half-mile away from the crime scene, the warrant states.
At 12:07 p.m. Sunday, Foster pawned a 32-inch Vizio television for $60 at Value Pawn & Jewelry in Brandon. The television belonged to Deas, he was paying for it on Walmart layaway. Detectives matched the serial number.
When presented with this evidence, according to the warrant, Foster "admitted he was a thief but did not kill anyone."
He denied driving Simmons' car, but admitted taking the checkbook. When detectives told him they found the checkbook in Simmons' car, he did not respond.
Jim Foster has heard all of this.
"He's going to need a good lawyer," he said Friday of his son.
Jim Foster, 55, is diabetic and has had a stroke. He speaks between deep breaths. Tony was his caretaker, filling out the medical forms, scheduling appointments, administering medicine. He and Tony have grown close since Elizabeth Pittman — Tony's mother, Jim's longtime girlfriend — died suddenly in 2009. Her death took them by surprise. Jim was always the one with the health problems.
"Why does God take a healthy person like her and leave me here to suffer, and then do this to Tony?" He drew a deep breath and thought on it.
"It's like everyone in my life is dying but me."
Jim Foster does not know how many years he has left, and he does not know where he will spend them, but he does know this: Every chance he gets to see his son Tony, he will. Jim Foster did one really bad thing in his life, he says — when he was 19 he helped a guy rob a convenience store. He served five years in prison. His parents never missed a visitation. Neither will he.

Spike wrote:Haha... actually the Holiday Special cartoon was pretty good. They should at least release that on DVD someday. Not by itself, that would be a waste. But as a special feature or an Easter egg.
I haven't gotten anything new since finding Kit Fisto (Clone Wars) and the black Endor Trooper at a KB Toys. Where the hell are all these figures from the "repaint" waves?! Someone at Habro is going to get murdered if I can't find that black R5 Astromech.
I swear, no stores in this area are stocking SW figures! At least one Walmart wised up and threw the "Greatest Hits" crap on clearance. Hasbro really shot themselves in the foot with those re-releases of last year's stuff. I see those figures cluttering the pegs more than the newer figures from this year -- including holographic Ki Adi Mundi. How sad.

Seismologists Tried For Manslaughter Due To Earthquake
from the legal-insanity dept
At the time of the 31 March 2009 meeting, seismic activity had been going on in the area for more than three months, causing alarm in the population. De Bernardinis summoned the meeting and asked the scientists to assess the risk of a major earthquake and its possible consequences. The meeting was followed by a press conference by De Bernardinis and Barberi, where the two reassured the population that the seismic sequence did not necessarily hint at a major earthquake. De Bernardinis, in particular, appeared on television saying that "the scientific community tells me there is no danger, because there is an ongoing discharge of energy. The situation looks favorable". A major earthquake did hit on April 6 though, killing 309 people. In the aftermath, many citizens quoted those statements as the reason they did not take precautionary measures, such as fleeing their homes. According to the accusation, many people who would otherwise leave the area decided to stay, and were eventually killed in the collapse of their houses.That seems crazy, but the judge refused to dismiss the case, and it will apparently start this fall. What's next? Will someone sue the weatherman for being wrong?

This classic Blazer pocket micro torch lighter looks like a fire extinguisher, but we assure you it's quite the opposite. It features a powerful, single blue torch flame for a perfect toast and light every time, plus a chained safety cap. The clear fuel chamber lets you know when to refill, too.
I've had FOUR of these in over 20 years and they flatout WORK - for a long time - consistently - no problems. I've bought Xicar because of the lifetime guarantee and have about 4 of them but you need 4 because I use one for 2 months, it quits working and it takes 2 months to get it back from Xicar so I have their other lighters for backups to their backups but my Blazer's rock. I recommend the total clear one so you can see at a glance your fuel level and also purge before EVERY refill. Forget Colibri - beautiful but not functional. Downside: the round barrel feels chunky in my pocket but I know it's close by.
The lighter wouldn't take any fluid, just squirted all over the place. Called support and they sent me some adapter tips....non of which actually fit the lighter. But after cutting the tip on the bottle itself, I was able to force some liquid in by holding it horizontally. But excess dripped everywhere.Never lights on the 1st click. And now I have to hold it horizontally just to get it to light. As if too much gas is being pushed thru it. If it was $12 it'd be worth it...but not at $30.
This thing worked for about a week. Then it quit. Kept trying, but finally just threw it in the junk drawer.
I've had 2 of these lighters, and both of them worked fine for the first 4 to 6 weeks. Then no more flame on. Loved them both while they worked, but no so much since the 2nd one crapped out on me. Now they cost quite a bit, and I won't buy without instructions on how to disassemble and repair one myself.

How did this turn out? I ordered some Mosaic, but haven't used before. Curious about good combos.
I've only used it as a dry hop in IPAs and IIPAs. I give it at least a week at room temp then I chill to serving temp. I get an intense dank grapefruit with some hints of citrus and pine. As a test, I dry hopped one keg with Mosaic and a second with Cascade and Amarillo. The Amarillo is obvious and does a wonderful job of muting the dankness of Mosaic. I now use 50/50 Amarillo to Mosaic based on blending tastes.I would be interested in how others have used this hop including where in the boil, at what temp were you using it whirlpool, etc.. What flavors/aromas are coming out based on usage.

Kobe Bryant tells Jimmy Kimmel he may be out for opener
Kobe Bryant isn't sure he'll be ready to play when the Los Angeles Lakers open the season on Oct. 29, although he remains ahead of schedule in rehabbing his surgically repaired Achilles' tendon.
Bryant turns 35 next week and he vowed that his 17-year career is "definitely not over."
"I just want that jewelry," he said, referring to the possibility of claiming his sixth NBA championship.
"People just don't understand how obsessed I am with winning."
Bryant made his comments to late night host Jimmy Kimmel during "Kobe Up Close," a one-on-one conversation with the NBA superstar on Thursday night at Nokia Theatre across from Staples Center.
He had a one-word answer when Kimmel asked whether he would finish his career with the only team he's ever played for: "Yeah," Bryant replied.
The 7,100-seat venue was full of Bryant's fans that cheered, jeered and interrupted freely during the one-hour program. Ticket proceeds benefited the Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation, which works to help end homelessness.
In keeping with the reason for the event, Kimmel asked, "If there was only one homeless person in the world, would you be happy if it was Dwight Howard?"
The audience roared, mere weeks removed from Howard's decision to leave the Lakers for Houston after one season.
"Dwight is a great kid," Bryant said, nearly drowned out by boos. "We have different perspectives on what it takes to win."
Kimmel kept the questions light while touching on a variety of topics well known to Bryant's most ardent fans.
Bryant recalled that before he was drafted in 1996 by Charlotte and then traded to the Lakers, he worked out for Boston and the Clippers.
"I had a really fun and good workout with the Clippers," he said. "They told me, 'This is the best workout we've ever seen.'"
But he said the team told him it wouldn't be drafting him out of high school.
"We want to turn things around with our organization and we felt like if we drafted a 17-year-old kid, the city of L.A. wouldn't take us seriously," Bryant said the Clippers told him.
Kimmel retorted, "They always make the best decisions."
Bryant said Chris Paul should have ended up with the Lakers instead of the Clippers. The NBA office, which owned New Orleans at the time, decided against a deal team officials had agreed to with the Lakers.
"Chris called me and told me it was a done deal," Bryant said. "Then he calls me back 30 minutes later and says, 'You won't believe it. David Stern killed the deal.'"
Before Bryant jumped directly from high school to the pros, he said he was recruited by Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and West Point. The military academy sent him his first college letter.
If he had gone to college, Bryant said he likely would've chosen North Carolina because Vince Carter had gone to Chapel Hill the previous year, and Bryant would have wanted to compete with him at practice every day.
As a teenager with a lucrative NBA contract, Bryant said he wasn't interested in big expenditures.
"The game consumed me," he said.
Bryant recalled his first meeting with Shaquille O'Neal over dinner at a Beverly Hills restaurant.
"I thought it was the coolest thing in the world that he had a cellphone that was the biggest in the world," he said.
Together, they won three consecutive NBA titles from 2000-02. But they eventually fell out and O'Neal was traded after the Lakers lost in the 2004 finals.
"It was a tough period. He and I just weren't going to play together anymore," Bryant said. "I had to prove I could win without him."
It would take a while, though. Bryant and the Lakers didn't capture another NBA title until they won two straight in 2009 and 2010.
Bryant credited Michael Jordan for giving him "phenomenal advice" on how to elevate his teammates.
"My demeanor and my temper probably calmed down a little bit," he said. "I go into games today looking at what are my guys going through, who is struggling, what can I do to help."
Among the famous faces in the audience were Lakers owners Jeanie and Jim Buss, general manager Mitch Kupchak, Hall of Fame baseball player Dave Winfield and former NFL receiver Terrell Owens.
Jeanie Buss was visibly touched when Bryant spoke about why so many Lakers players loved her late father, Jerry.
"He knew exactly what his vision was," Bryant said. "He was very patient, he was very understanding. He allowed me room to grow as a person."
Bryant said his daughters, ages 10 and 7, are playing sports, although he didn't specify which ones.
He described them as "insanely, insanely competitive."

Sol 12 Update on Curiosity from USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: Mars Time18 August 2012
Those of us supporting MSL tactical mission operations are living on "Mars time." A day on Mars, or "sol" is about 40 minutes longer than a day on Earth, but our workday doesn't shift exactly 40 minutes later each day because the tactical schedule is tied to the receipt of data from the orbiters that are relaying information from MSL to Earth. Each orbiter (MRO and Mars Odyssey) flies over MSL twice a day, early in the morning and late in the afternoon. But they don't fly over MSL at the same time every day, because their orbits were designed to view different parts of Mars every sol so that the orbiter instruments can observe a wide variety of locations on the planet. So the start time of the tactical shifts can vary by up to a couple hours from day to day, but overall slips later and later, cycling through 24 hours on Earth in about 5 weeks. I had been getting to JPL at about 5:30 each morning, but didn't have to be there until 6:30 this morning. I was treated to a beautiful sunrise when I arrived, and felt more like an Earthling than a Martian for a change! Today's planning of MSL activities went very well--the operations team is learning how to work more efficiently while ensuring that every command is safe to send to the rover. Meanwhile, the rest of the science team discussed where to drive after the mobility system is checked out. The favored plan is to drive toward the east to examine an outcrop of bright material. But first, we have to make sure everything is working well. The good news today was that the DAN neutron experiment is working well, and SAM's electrical baseline test was successful. More instrument checkouts are planned for the next few sols--more on those later. Ken

Khing241 [solved]How to Hack Protect Facebook Account on Tue Apr 23, 2013 2:53 pm
Hello Friends, In this Tutorial i will follow the little different
procedure to explain the things, First I will explain the methods used
by Hackers to hack the Facebook account or passwords and then I will explain the Solution that How To Protect your Facebook account from hackers... So Read On..Its a Pity Interesting topic to discuss and learn...
|Hack Protect Facebook Account Password
How Hackers Hack Facebook Account Password???
In this Tutorial I will Try to Explain All the Methods that any Hacker Can Use To Hack your Facebook account
along with their prevention measures.. So Read It Carefully .. Its
really a worth article and also very informative .So Enjoy Reading....
Facebook uses a 4 Level Facebook login procedure which makes it
difficult to hack Facebook using all other techniques except Social
Engineering and Cross Site Scripting.
First Level :Security SSL or 256 bit secured connection
Second Level : Facebook login script checks for cookie in the
system of user. If available then it validates the cookie and update the
cookie path and timestamps and its expiry interval.
Third Level : Facebook provides a redirection to the entered User information to their profile area.
Fourth Level : Facebook doesn't use conventional php/aspx/asp coding rather it uses Client side Ajax Scripting with oAuth 2.0 protocol. So it is almost impossible to hack Facebook using input validation attack!!!
It is not an easy task to hack Facebook by breaking its security! But
still some hackers manage to get access to other's Facebook accounts.
The question concerned is How they do it? Many of them just use simple
tricks that fool users to hack their passwords which is generally called
Social Engineering. Here are some points you need to take care of, to
protect your Facebook account being hacked.
Common Ways to Hack Facebook
1. Using keyloggers is one of the Easiest Way to Hack an Facebook
(or any other email) password. Keylogger programs can spy on what the
user types from the keyboard. If you think that you can just uninstall
such programs, you are wrong as they are completely hidden.
A keylogger, sometimes called a keystroke logger, key logger, or system
monitor, is a hardware device or small program that monitors each
keystroke a user types on a specific computer's keyboard. Keylogger is
the easiest way to hack an Facebook account.
A keylogger program is widely available on the internet. Some of the best ones are listed below
Vicspy Keylogger
KGB Keylogger
Sniper Spy
Armadax Keylogger
PROTECTION : Use the Web Browser Monzilla Firefox and Download the ADD ON called Keyboard Scrambler.
GOTO TOOLS --->ADD ONS ----> Type "Key Scrambler" (without Quotes) in the search box and then click OK. Install It and restart Firefox.
Now all keyloggers are a piece of waste and Keyboard Scrambler Encrypts your Keystrokes....
2. Phishing Attack is the most popular way of hacking/stealing
other's password. By using fake login pages it is possible to hack
Facebook. Here the users land on a page where they are asked for their
login information and they enter their Facebook username and password
thinking it to be a real page but actually it is other way round. It
submits all the entered details to the creator of the fake login page.
Protection : Use Any of the Surf Sheilds either by AVG websheild or any other Security toolbar Or any other Antiphising tool.
3. Facebook New Features: I have come across a page(fake page)
that looks like they are giving the user a choice of selecting new
features for Facebook with your ID and password, of course!! When the
user submit's his/her Facebook login information through this page,
there goes his ID and password mailed to the coder.
Protection : If you install a New Application or Joined any Facebook
Page on Facebook Or Installed an New Theme and Its Asking For username
and Password then its a Fake and Phishing attack. Don't Login if any
third party product is asking for login.
4. Facebook Apps: Many times you are provided with a link to a
Facebook app in a message. Always read the links carefully, It may be
something like http://www.faceb0ok.com/app?p=123abcd Faceb0ok not
Facebook or can be some hidden link that i explained in my previous
article of clickjacking.
Protection : This is definitely a trap created by the hacker to
hack your Facebook password. Clicking on this link will take you to a
fake login page and there you loose up your password.
5. Java script: You must have seen the circulating messages that
asks you to paste this code in your address bar and see what happens!
Well sometimes they also leak out your information. Check the code and
if you are unsure of what to do, then I recommend not to use it. So be
careful, javascripts can even be used to hack Facebook!
These type of tricks and hacks are blocked by Facebook as soon as they
are detected. So you need not to worry about It. But Try to avoid Use of
javascripts as far as possible because no one knows you maybe among the
few ones who become prey to that script.
6. Primary mail address: If by some means a hacker came to know
the password of your Yahoo mail or Gmail, which users normally keeps as
their primary mail address in their Facebook account, then hacker can
hack Facebook account by simply using USER ID and clicking on 'forget
password'. This way Facebook will send link to the already hacked
primary email ID to change the password of the Facebook account. Hence
the email hacker will change your Facebook account's password. Hence
your, Facebook account is hacked too.
So a better thing would be to keep a very unknown or useless email ID of
yours as primary email id so that if the hacker clicks on 'Forgot

At a recent Hawaii Karate Kenkyukai training session, we were asked to demonstrate and explain the most advanced kata in our respective Karate systems/styles. This was an interesting assignment because each of us had to determine what the most advanced kata in our own system/style is.
One way to approach this question is to ask what kata a student will learn last. In our dojo, the last kata a student will learn is probably Kusanku or Chinto -- it depends. In our dojo, we practice a total of 18 kata. At the shodan level, a student might practice 10 or 12 of these kata. A student might not practice all 18 of the kata until the sandan level. So, a student in our dojo might have studied for many years before he even learns Kusanku or Chinto.
But does the fact that a kata is learned last make it the most advanced? In our system, Kusanku, Chinto and Gojushiho are usually learned last and are also the longest kata (in terms of the number of movements). Are they advanced because they are learned late, or because they are long?
Or is it because the kata contain complicated or "advanced" techniques? Is the Kusanku kata technically more difficult than the Pinan or Naihanchi series of kata?
Late, longest, or more complicated? What makes a kata the advanced in a system?
Or does it depend upon the degree of difficulty or points that would be awarded for a particular kata in a tournament?
So what kata do you think that I performed for our training session?
Initially, I said that I would perform Kusanku because it is one of the two last kata taught in our system (generally). I thought about it, and decided I would perform Chinto, because it is also taught late and contains difficult/complicated techniques. Then I decided that the essence of body dynamics in our system is taught via the Naihanchi series of kata.
Finally, I decided that I would perform Fukyugata Ichi. Do you know why?
It is because Fukyugata Ichi is such a simple kata, one that is learned very early. It only contains about 20 movements (depending on who you count them) and not even one kick!
I picked Fukyugata Ichi because it is the most difficult kata to do well -- there is no room to hide weak techniques or mistakes. In Chinto, if one or two techniques are done poorly they might be hidden or overshadowed by the rest of the kata. In Fukyugata Ichi, if one technique is done poorly, it will show!
I also find that it is difficult to perform Fukyugata Ichi with a compressed koshi. If you perform the kata with a big koshi, the kata will look strange (wobbly). To maintain the simple and clean lines of the kata, the koshi has to be compressed and thrown very late -- it can almost look as if no koshi is being used at all. This can be very challenging.
Why didn't I pick Naihanchi? We learn koshi through Naihanchi. The "shape" of the kata is ideal for learning and applying koshi. The Naihanchi stance is ideal for us.
Fukyugata Ichi has no Naihanchi stances. Instead, it uses zenkutsu dachi and shizen dachi. Additonally, we use a hanmi "slant" in just about all our movements (in these stances). It is one thing to move from side to side in Naihanchi dachi. Moving from one side to another in zenkutsu dachi and shizen dachi is quite different -- and can be challenging.
So I performed Fukyugata Ichi as the most advanced kata in our system. I realize that I could have performed any kata, but I wanted to explain why I chose that particular one.
If you can do one kata well, you can do all kata well (if you practice hard). Being able to do a kata well is what counts -- not whether a kata is considered to be advanced, intermediate or for beginners. (Plus, don't forget that we are all beginners.)

NORWALK -- From Missouri to the Mississippi and the Wild West to the East Coast, Mark Twain was so much a part of the American landscape during the Gilded Age, a phrase he coined, it's no wonder he's considered by some to be the nation's most beloved author.
With the centennial of his death on Wednesday, Connecticut's connection to this author and humorist couldn't be stronger.
His home, the Mark Twain House in Hartford, is now a museum with a host of activities scheduled for this week.
Though no longer standing, Twain's Redding residence, a hilltop villa which he dubbed "The Innocents," is very much alive in the mind of Redding historian Brent M. Colley, who spearheaded the Mark Twain Stormfield Project under way statewide. It aims to chronicle the state's ties to the author.
Colley said the Branchville train station is where Twain, whose real name was Samuel L. Clemens, first disembarked in Connecticut. Upon his death, Twain was waked at the Bouton Funeral Home in Georgetown, Colley said.
Another state claim to Twain can be found in his romantic fantasy novel, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court."
But what about Twain's Norwalk connection?
At first it seems slim, if at all. But two local historians, Madeleine and Ed Eckert, claim differently. After tireless research, Ed Eckert, vice president of the Norwalk Historical Society, and Madeleine, a board member, say that Norwalk was more than just a passing glimpse from the train as Twain headed home.
Sunday afternoon at the Mill Hill Museum, the Eckerts built their case to an audience of 50 during an hourlong slide show, "Norwalk and Mark Twain: Some Interesting Associations Between Norwalk and America's Beloved Author."
There was the 70-room Clifford Hotel on South Main Street in South Norwalk, where Twain was a frequent guest, Madeleine Eckert said.
In 1867, Twain, working as a journalist, traveled aboard the steamship Quaker City to Egypt and the Holy Land. On the ship, he met and became friends with two prominent Norwalk residents, Frederick Dimon, a shipping merchant, and Edward Keeler Lockwood, a leader in the mercantile industry. It was from that trip that Twain was inspired to write "The Innocents Abroad, or the New Pilgrim's Progress."
In 1908, Twain, 72, settled in Redding and named his villa "The Innocents" after his book. Twain was an international celebrity, and his opulent villa had made headlines. It also caught the eye of two thieves intent on robbing the place. One was Charles Hoffman, of South Norwalk; the other, Henry Williams, of New York City.
According to Madeleine Eckert, the two took the train from South Norwalk to West Redding and walked along a dirt road to the Twain house, where they hid in the bushes until midnight. Hoffman even had specially designed rubber soled shoes for a quiet entrance.
"They had flashlights, called electric pocket lamps, and they went in through a side window," Madeleine Eckert said.
She said the thieves were unable to open the sideboard to load up the silverware, so they carried it outside. Hoffman went back inside and accidentally kicked over a brass bowl, which alerted the housekeeping staff. The two were chased off the grounds as they were fired upon. Twain, thinking the shots were merely bottles being opened at a party downstairs, went back to sleep, Eckert said.
The two ran to Bethel where they boarded the Danbury train heading south and they were eventually caught in West Redding the next morning by local police and a crowd wielding pitchforks, she said. Madeleine Eckert added that when the two were in custody, Twain confronted them and said, "They'll send you down to the Bridgeport jail, and before you know it you'll be in the United States Senate."
The crowd roared, and before long, the Eckerts regaled them with the fact that five Norwalk artists and illustrators used Twain's literary works as inspiration. One was George Avison, whose painting "Duke vs. the King" was inspired by "Huckleberry Finn" and is now on display at Norwalk Community College's library. Another one is Justin Gruelle, whose Works Progress Administration paintings, "Innocents Abroad," "Roughing It" and "Steamboat Days on the Mississippi," are on display at Norwalk City Hall.
Warner Chappell, a Silvermine resident, illustrated many of Twain's books during the 1930s, as did local resident Worth Brehm years earlier. And Norwalk resident Katherin Lawson did a WPA bust of Twain while he was alive, but the whereabouts of the plaster bust which was never put into bronze are unknown, Madeline Eckert said.
"Mark Twain would probably be tickled pink to know that Norwalk boasted such fine artist residents who visually interpreted his stories each in his or her own distinctive fashion, but all reflecting their affection and reverence for America's favorite author and humorist," Madeline Eckert said.

ST. JAMES — The Mosaic Co. is beginning engineering and design work on a potential $700 million ammonia production plant at the company's existing Faustina site in St. James Parish, company and state officials said Friday.
The project would create 53 new direct jobs paying an average of more than $83,000 a year, plus benefits.
The fertilizer producer expects to make its final investment decision in mid-2013, after the engineering design and cost evaluation of the project are completed. Construction would start in 2014, with plant operations likely to begin in early 2016.
"Mosaic said that they will bring back more ammonia production from overseas," Gov. Bobby Jindal said of the proposed project, citing favorable natural gas prices for the foreseeable future as an attraction.
Natural gas is used as a feedstock.
Mosaic operates two Louisiana chemical facilities on opposite banks of the Mississippi River: Faustina on the west side and Uncle Sam on the east side. Combined, the current facilities employ 379 Mosaic employees, who are supported by 235 contract employees.
The expansion project would nearly triple existing Faustina production of ammonia, with all the new production destined for sister Mosaic sites in Florida that also manufacture the company's fertilizer products in Florida.
"As the world's leading producer of phosphate and potash crop nutrients, Mosaic's mission is to help the world grow the food it needs," said Richard Krakowski, vice president-supply chain. "Our Louisiana operations are vital to that mission and ammonia is an essential part of our manufacturing processes. We're eager to conduct the engineering and design evaluation that will lead to a final investment decision next year."
To secure the project, the state is offering Mosaic a Modernization Tax Credit of $3 million, claimed over a five-year period, and job training services. Mosaic is expected to tap the state's Quality Jobs and Industrial Tax Exemption incentive programs.
The Louisiana economic development department estimates the expansion would create 366 indirect jobs.
An estimated 1,400 workers would be required for plant construction.
Mosaic makes phosphoric acid at its Uncle Sam plant, combining sulfuric acid and phosphate rock shipped to the state from company mines in Florida and Peru, as well as some imported rock from other sources.
The phosphoric acid is shipped by barge across the river to the Faustina plant, where chemical processes combine phosphoric acid and ammonia to produce granular, finished fertilizer products for agricultural use. A similar process occurs in Florida, where Mosaic manufacturing sites are currently importing ammonia from Trinidad, Russia and the Middle East.
Mosaic employs about 8,000 people in eight countries.
"Mosaic's decision to stay and expand in St. James Parish represents the breadth of opportunities in the River Parishes along the Mississippi River," said Michael Hecht, president and chief executive officer of Greater New Orleans Inc.

G3106, Reviewed October 1993
Total mixed dairy rations (TMR) offer an opportunity to improve business profits through improved animal performance and health, decreased feed wastage, improved labor efficiency and improved butterfat. The installation of a TMR system normally requires added investments in feed mixing and distribution equipment. Additional storage facilities may be required as well.
With a TMR system, each bite is a balanced diet. For small herds, a limiting factor influencing milk production is balancing the ration for the broad range of production levels within the herd. Diets too low in energy and protein may limit production of early lactating cows or result in thin cows with lower production and reduced reproductive efficiency. In contrast, diets too high in energy and protein can result in overconditioned cows at freshening with fat cow problems. In larger herds, cows can be grouped more homogeneously to better balance for nutrient requirements.
The purpose of this publication is to provide a format for evaluating the economic consequences of changing to a TMR system. Planning will enable you to determine what investments, labor costs, power costs, etc., are needed to implement the system before making new investments or changes in your operation.
Adopting the TMR feeding system will change your dairy enterprise costs and returns. To evaluate this change, the following partial budgeting procedure (economic analysis) will allow you to balance expected total gains against losses that will result if you switch from parlor grain feeding to a TMR.
The following budgeting procedure allows you to estimate:
This "ballpark" analysis will help determine if the potential added returns will outweigh the added costs, indicating whether the proposed change will be profitable for your operation.
Brief instructions follow:
Item 3 provides guidelines and a method for calculating tractor power costs that are necessary to operate the mixer wagon and front-end loader. Tractor costs are allocated to TMR on a cost per hour of operation basis because the tractor is usually used for other business activities. Thus this is an easy method of allocating this specific cost to TMR. Because labor and machinery operate together, the hours per cow are the same as the labor hours used in Item 2. Also, you can use variable or total costs per hour of tractor operation. For example, if the tractor you plan to use is an older tractor that is fully depreciated, it would be appropriate to use variable costs only. But if you have a newer tractor or have to purchase a tractor specifically for the TMR system, you should use total costs per hour of operation to calculate power costs.
Items 4 and 5 are self-explanatory. Just fill in the blanks and calculate the answer. Note that the marketing costs in Item 4 are based on hundredweight of milk, not pounds.
Item 6 may not be a cost to you. If it isn't, leave it blank.
The Partial Budget Analysis Worksheet allows you to estimate the rate of return from the investment needed to implement a total mixed ration system in your dairy operation. The answer calculated on line D3 indicates whether the change has a potential of producing a positive or negative annual profit. Line D4 converts the dollar profit into a percent return to the additional capital needed to make the change, i.e., from parlor feeding to TMR system. For this reason the major capital investments needed for the TMR system should be identified and analyzed as accurately as possible.
The actual increase in milk production and the milk price received will vary. Therefore, two or more analyses based on different levels of increased milk production per cow such as 500, 750, 900, 1,200 pounds and at different price levels such as $11, $12, $13 per hundredweight should be calculated. At least a best-case and worst-case scenario should be thought through and analyzed to develop a bracket in which you will be operating.
Producers who feed balanced, palatable rations can expect less productive gains from TMR (lower benefit levels) than others whose rations fall short of nutritional requirements. Under such conditions, producers should experience the higher gains per cow.
Another important consideration is the investment requirement from a total business perspective. If higher outlays for equipment and power are required and must be obtained by borrowing money, debt service becomes an important risk consideration. This could be judged in terms of cash flow obligations to service debt and whether the added debt influences the financial statement of the total business in an adverse fashion (debt/equity ratio).
Change considered: Switch to total mixed dairy ration from present feeding system described as ___________________________

In the Chokling's Zabtik Drolma it is said that the outer level is kriya yoga, the inner is yoga tantra and the secret is annutaratantra. The last is quite strange for a terma cycle but the description of the practices involved in the secret cycle seem to cover more or less cover mahayoga, anuyoga and atiyoga but it is still said to be annutaratantra.conebeckham wrote: But here's an example: Check out Chogyur Lingpa's Zabtik Drolma. That cycle should be familiar to lots of us, right? So, the outer practice, which is what most of us know, is the 4 mandala offering to the 21 Taras, popular in most Kagyu centers, and I believe some Nyingma centers too.
The inner practice relates to the 8 Taras who protect from the 8 fears, and these relate to Inner Afflictions, as well..and they are visualized internally, rather than externally.
The secret practice, If I recall, relates to Tara and Hayagriva, Yabyum.

Probably because she is on every japanese cover too. I admit it is a bit curious that it is just her and noone else. Not that I would mind looking at just her herself... Not at all.
Still better than the German ones in my opinion...
Spoiler for covers of the German edition:
Those are cut-outs from the japanese covers with the mood turned backwards by switching the background.

I don't recall the fansubs having ~desu in the first place. Everyone just heard it and figured out the personality quirk. There's really no real way to translate it. It's one of the aspects of Japanese that gets lost in translation (like politeness levels and such). Speaking styles just don't come across well in written english. When they bring the anime over, I'm sure Sui will get a "snobby-yet-cute" voice to match her character. And reading over Suiseiseki's lines in the TP manga, the "Yes"s are cut back and relatively make sense in context (ie: "I hate humans.... Yes." and "We'll make the impish [TP's tranlation/adaptation of Chibi Ningen is Imp] tree bloom.... Yes?") There has to be some degree of adaptation to make the story flow better.
When things like ~desu or ~ttebayo are translated into english, they tend to not sound well. Obviously, Naruto comes into play. When he started saying "Believe it" there was a HUGE fan outcry, most of them not realizing it was just a translation of ~ttebayo which occured much more frequently in the Japanese.
As for the manga itself, so far I'm liking it, except for the poorly drawn chibi designs. It was a problem I had in DearS too.

Yeah, it seems like that's a Peach-Pit habit. As for desu, there are some cases where such mannerisms are left in. For example, in DearS Nia's "-ni" is left in. Why ni and not desu? Who knows.

I think it's because desu is a part of Japanese speach as is. nyo, ni and such can be left untranslated because they don't really have a meaning. I've also seen some where they substituted the english equivalent (like Ribbit instead of kero and meow instead of nya. Desu just doesn't translate well to anything.

I still keep thinking Rozen Maiden as being pretty shoju, like, it's about dolls, gothic lolita and pretty feminine things...........and while there are pleanty of bishouju, they arn#t really the sexy fanservicy types (certainly nothing like the ones in DearS, if you read Rozen Maiden for more Ren and Mius, you're going to be disapointed.) But kudos for Peach Pit for making it okay for boys like me to like dolls. (I always have anyway, lol.)
Anyways.......does anyone have the dates for the Tokyopop mangas? I wait hopefully by the new manga section at Gosh or Forbidden Planet, lurking for Rozen Maiden 3.........but to no avail.

D'Angelo Harrison scored a game-high 27 points, while JaKarr Sampson finished with 21 points and seven boards to lead St. John's. The Red Storm shot 48.3 percent (28-of-58) from the floor, finished even on the boards and dominated play down low with a 44-24 scoring advantage in the paint.
But the team also committed 12 turnovers, 10 in the first half, and made a paltry 2-of-13 (15.4 percent) from beyond the arc. Rysheed Jordan played 24 minutes in his collegiate-debut and finished with six points, three rebounds and three assists.
"We got off to a poor start at both ends of the court," said head coach Steve Lavin. "Clearly we need to improve as a team in order to execute more effectively at both ends of the court."
Josh Gasser had 19 points and eight rebounds to lead five players in double-figures for Wisconsin. The Badgers drained 11-of-23 (47.8 percent) 3-pointers on the night to pace the offensive attack, and also shot at an 83.3 percent clip (25-of-30) from the charity stripe.
A pair of Sampson dunks bookended a 12-5 rally that pulled St. John's to within four points, 58-54, at the 8:29 mark. The Badgers had an answer, though, as consecutive 3-pointers pushed the Wisconsin lead back to 10 with 7:46 to go. A Harrison 3-pointer cut the lead to seven with 6:04 remaining, but the Red Storm would get no closer.
"This challenge presented an opportunity for our team to grow," said Lavin. "We are disappointed with the loss, but now have a checklist of deficiencies that we will take home with us as we head into a week of practice in preparation for our next game."
St. John's returns to action on Nov. 15, hosting Wagner at Carnesecca Arena for a 6 p.m. game that will air on FOX Sports 2.

A kLoKwErK kAoS: Brain Rot (the demo daze anthology)
Hey all, I have just released my giant sized 96 song anthology. As some of you know, I'm sometimes a recording artist, and this release is a really big deal for me as it represents the top choice pics of a six year period of my recording career, so it's kind of special to me.
I hope you guys dig it.
to be absolutely clear, yes it available for sale, no you do not have to buy it to hear and enjoy it, and I'm just here to share this giant accomplishment in my recording career in the hopes a few of you will dig it.
There are several options you have to hear it for free:
You can go to napster and they give you 25 free full length plays, but since it's 96 you can't hear all of them there, but I wouldn't recommend trying to listen to all of it at once because that's like 5.2 hours of music
you can go to itunes: They will let you play like a min and a half of each song, so you can get the gist of the opening of every track and see if you might like it.
All of the tracks are also available for free unlimited listing in the music section of my website in their original release format and cataloging.
I hope you guys like and feedback is always appreciated. Please note, I already am very clear that my music isn't for everyone, but if you end up listening to all of those tracks you'll see there is a whole lot of diversity and varied influences in the music from around the globe even though the general vibe of electronic is present.
Every track has a story too, so if you find one you like and are interested, just ask and I'll give you the inside scoop. I generally enjoy talking about my creations.
I'm expected to have my third international release later this year which will be an all new full length album called "The Thirteenth Hour.
Although I'm not trying to sell anyone (lord knows you can always steal music on the internet and have seen a few torrents circulating of my stuff on occasion) if you do like it, consider helping the artist keep the lights on Lord knows I'm a pirate too, but in all fairness each track works out to be less than the price of a gumball at the grocery store in the interest of keeping the music affordable and I do buy records of bands I actually really like so they can continue to make great music.
I hope you guys like. Please post comments, questions, impressions thoughts and photo shops of my head on absurd objects

Inspiration: Dude Design
Dude design, otherwise known as the man cave. What makes a home decidedly manly? Nothing per se. It certainly doesn't make you more of a man to choose one design aesthetic over another, but there is such a thing as an unequivocally masculine look.
Here are a smattering of hunky rooms that say "a guy lives here."

Modern Family's Ariel Winter Stars in Live-Action Dora the Explorer for Grown Ups
Think Dora the Explorer is just some stupid baby show for babies? You're absolutely right. But this live-action reimagination from CollegeHumor is strictly for grown ups (and adult babies).
Starring Ariel Winter, best known for her role as middle child Alex Dunphy on ABC's Modern Family, this mock-trailer for an action movie based on the beloved Nick show has all the trappings of a kickass flick: Big guns, bigger explosions, and bilingual guessing games.
Okay, scratch that last one. But the rest is solid.

The Flying Fleet led off the eighth with back to back singles by JJ Newman and Shelton Cisson, bringing up Robbie Knapp, who hit a double down the left field line that scored both Newman and Cisson. Next came Matt Schneider hitting an RBI triple, giving Erskine a three run lead.
Coker would try and get a rally of their own going, scoring a run in the bottom of the eighth, but that would be all the offense the Cobras would generate.
Jayson Clarke (3-3) took the loss allowing four runs on nine hits, with four strike outs, while Erskine's Mike Moore earned the win, allowing only one run on four hits, with six strike outs.
The Cobras were led by Ryan Schaeffer who was 1-for-2 with an RBI and Brooks Urquhart was 2-for-4.
Erskine was led by Robbie Knapp going 2-for-4 with two RBIs and a run scored, and Matt Wurzer who was 2-for-3.
The second game turned out to be a back and forth battle, as Coker took an early 3-0 lead in the second inning, but Erskine would answer with three runs of their own in the top of the third. Coker would come right back in the bottom half of the inning scoring two more runs, but again Erskine would answer with four runs in the top of the fourth. Coker would get shut out in fourth, but would score a run in the fifth and a run in the sixth to tie the game at seven.
With the score tied in the top of the seventh Erskine's Shelton Cisson hit a double, and would then score off a Matt Schneider triple to take the lead. The Fleet added seven more runs error to give Erskine a 15-7 victory.
Jesse Hatchell (0-2) took the loss for Coker coming on in relief in the sixth, while Erskine's Jake Williams (1-1) earned the win coming on in relief in the sixth as well.
Coker's offense was led by Kyle Strickland going 2-for-2 with an RBI and two runs scored, while Brian Johanson was 2-for-3 with two doubles, two RBIs and a run scored. Brantley Bell was 2-for-4 with two RBIs for the Cobras.
For Erskine, Cission was 3-for-4 with two doubles, four RBIs and two runs scored. Robbie Knapp and Matt Schneider were each 2-for-5 with two RBIs and a run scored. As a team Erskine had 14 RBIs on 15 hits.
Coker drops to 7-11-1 overall and 0-8 in the CVAC, while Erskine improves to 17-2 overall, and 4-0 in the CVAC after this weekend's series.
The Cobras next match-up is against

FOXBOROUGH — Delete it.
Go ahead. Hit "list" on your DVR, highlight "Bills at Patriots," and then hit the red button. Unless you like the sensation of getting right up to a heart attack, and then backing off.
And if for some reason you were saving the Ravens, Seahawks, or Jets games as well — hoping to have time to cut a 12-second "Ras-I Dowling 2012 highlights video" for YouTube? — erase those, as well.
For that matter, cleanse your memory of all of it.
The 2012 season starts today for the Patriots.
That's when cornerback Aqib Talib, acquired from the Buccaneers, walks into Gillette Stadium. He'll have his feet washed to signify the absolution of any previous sins, and have the ceremonial blue Patriots cleansing robe slipped on by Robert and Jonathan Kraft to signify Talib's fresh start with the team.
Forget Shakespeare and all that "past is prologue" nonsense. The Patriots stock playbooks, not playwrights.
Talib is now a Patriot, from this moment forward.
And make no mistake, the Patriots will be a better team with Talib starting at cornerback.
How much better? Who knows? But it has to be better than what we saw on Sunday in the Patriots' 37-31 victory over the Bills at Gillette Stadium.
What you saw there was rock bottom.
The Patriots, coming off a bye week that included extra study and practice time, took the field and couldn't stop the run (162 yards), hit quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick four times officially (three sacks), allowed him to complete 68 percent of his passes (second only to Fitzpatrick's game against the Titans), the Bills to set a franchise record with 35 first downs, and to put up a season-high 481 total yards.
That last mark broke their previous high set against, you guessed it, the Patriots.
"Overall, we made some plays and we did some things well, but there were other things that just weren't as sharp as what they need to be, or what they should be," coach Bill Belichick said. "Yeah, we've got to definitely do a better job on those. It was far from perfect."
Apparently, the Arctic Circle is far from warm.
All you really need to know about the state of the Patriots' defense is a guy who has two suspensions since the start of the 2010 season (personal conduct, performance-enhancing drugs) — in addition to four other violent incidents since being drafted in 2008 — and was in the midst of a suspension when acquired, is riding in on a white horse.
As for what happened on Sunday, I'm not in the business of making excuses for the Patriots, and I'm not going to do that here.
But what I will say is the Patriots are not built defensively to stop Chan Gailey's Bills. What they do with the spread offense, and the amount of small and quick passing weapons combined with the speedy and tough running duo of C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson, is a mismatch for Belichick's scheme, at least in the regular season.
The next time one of your buddies wants to talk about how awesome the Patriots' front seven is and how they might have one of the league's best linebacking trios in Jerod Mayo, Brandon Spikes, and Dont'a Hightower, like this is 2003, go tell them to watch either matchup against the Bills. It was a clinic in how not to defend intermediate seam passes.
What you will see is a defensive scheme that looked like a relic playing against the future. And how amazing is that considering the Patriots' offense is on the cutting edge?
You can point to what the Patriots did in the Super Bowl against the 2001 "Greatest Show on Turf" Rams, but there are a lot of differences, not the least of which is the prohibition of downfield pass contact. Even still, it would be unwise to underestimate a Belichick game plan with an extra week of preparation.
But we digress.
We'll put off a discussion about whether Belichick's scheme could be obsolete a few years down the road, because it isn't right now. Chip Kelly is still at Oregon for the time being, and the rest of his speed-spread fraternity won't be changing the NFL any time soon. And Belichick will have time to adjust.
Just like for the rest of this season.
The Patriots will not have to face another offense like this the rest of the way. The Bills are unique to the NFL. Thank goodness they don't have a consistent quarterback or competitive defense, because their season is over.
The Patriots will see mostly conventional offenses the rest of the way. And no matter what you think you've seen so far — we told you, burn those memories — the Patriots do have more than a puncher's chance this season.
If last year's team, which needed meaningful contributions on defense from Tracy White, James Ihedigbo, Shaun Ellis, Sterling Moore, Antwaun Molden, and Julian Edelman, reached the Super Bowl and held a 17-9 lead with 11:20 left in the third quarter, then certainly this group can.
The ideal scenario is for Patrick Chung to return from (another) injury healthy and with his hair on fire headed toward unrestricted free agency. That would give them a secondary, in order of talent and effectiveness, of Talib, Devin McCourty, Chung, Steve Gregory, Alfonzo Dennard, Kyle Arrington, Tavon Wilson, and Marquice Cole.
That group is young and inexperienced, but it is talented. It's a world's better than last year's group. Are they playing like it now? Certainly not. It's up to Belichick to find the right combination of players between cornerback and safety to get the job done. His track record is sterling in this regard. I believe Belichick will do that until it doesn't happen. And then I'll pass out.
And we also advocate for Belichick to take over the secondary, if not the entire defense, down the stretch. Matt Patricia, the defensive coordinator, and assistants Josh Boyer (cornerbacks) and Brian Flores (safeties) appear overmatched, though Flores seems to have a fine future.
It's time for Belichick to stop telling those guys how he wants it done, and just do it himself, which he did at one point last season with the secondary.
Tom Brady and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels can handle the offense just fine, as long as Belichick rips the 252 pages out of McDaniels's playbook dedicated to deceptive plays that never seem to work. (Toss sweep out of the shotgun, and a play-action, fake-reverse pass on the final drive, really?)
It starts this week against the upstart but overmatched Colts. Talib will likely draw receiver Reggie Wayne. The Patriots will also put a safety over the top, and I expect something along the lines of the one catch for 4 yards that Larry Fitzgerald of the Cardinals had against the Talib-less Patriots in Week 2. Wayne's 69 receptions are almost double that of the nearest Colt. When was the last time the Patriots failed to minimize the primary weapon of a limited offensive team?
The one thing going against this team is that the final seven games are not going to be the cakewalk they were last season, when the best quarterback they faced was a pick 'em between Rex Grossman and Fitzpatrick.
Looming back-to-back home games against the Texans and 49ers will be valuable chances for the Patriots to not only measure where they are, but gain confidence heading into the postseason.
If the Patriots beat both the Texans and 49ers, would anyone remember what transpired earlier in the season? Of course not.
And since both teams feature conventional run-based offenses that are in the wheelhouse of these Patriots, does anyone think they couldn't hold their own against Matt Schaub and Alex Smith?
The one redeeming thing about the Patriots' defense, which was on display again on Sunday, was its uncanny ability to make big plays when needed.
If it can find a way to add discipline and consistency to the playmaking, the Patriots will have something. The talent, especially with Talib, is there. Now Belichick needs to fit the pieces of the puzzle together like he always does.
Forget about the hollow victory over the Bills. It's over.
The rest of the season starts today.Greg A. Bedard can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @gregabedard.
