*This is a recap of events from noon Sunday to noon Monday*
After the debauchery of Saturday night, a few of the hamsters are still snoozing as my shift starts. Not Will, though – he's hard at work, schmoozing both the floaters and the Sovs. And confusing the hell of out me. I just can't keep up with what he's said to what alliance. It changes every ten minutes. The story even changes with his own alliance-mate, Boogie. Eh, I give up. By the time I'm finished with this recap, the story will have changed again, anyway. Many times.
Boogie smells one of Howie's farts.
Will is in the kitchen, telling Danielle that Janelle has to go – the only way he's surviving in the game is by flirting with her and being a BB ho. James comes in and exclaims that "Will's single!" after the shower escapades Saturday night (and he may very well be single, if Erin sees what happened). Now, supposedly, Will and Boogie's plan is to take Danielle and Janelle to the final four as cover. If they can keep the catfight going, it'll keep the heat off of Chilltown as they alternately support either Dani or Janie. Will it work? Who knows. They seem to be getting away with it so far.
Next stop for Will is the HoH room, where he tells Howie to get his ass up so they can work out. He takes the opportunity to nudge Janelle towards putting James up, and tells her to quit being so emotional. Everyone knows James threw the comp, Will says, and "right now James is sitting down there whispering and plotting with them." Howie agrees that James has to go: "He f**cked us majorly." Will wants Janelle to call a truce with Erika, and make a deal with her to get rid of James this week in return for her safety. Janelle doesn't think Erika would honor that deal, though, and is hesitant to put James up. Howie pipes us and tells her that if Erika breaks the deal, she'll be his new Busto. I almost wish that would happen, just for the joy of watching Erika fall to pieces.
You bore me too, James.
Oh, but wait a minute - they've changed their minds already. Now they want to keep James, but just threaten him with the loss of their four votes if he makes it to the end. Janelle and Howie want to tell James that if he works with Danielle again, that's it! No votes for you! Never mind that sound, it's just me banging my head on the keyboard. For the life of me, I can't understand how they're playing this game. Instead of getting rid of the snake, they just want to pop him on the hand and tell him to play nice. Yeah, that'll work just fine, guys. Not.
Boogie slithers up and thinks the newest plan is just peachy - and offers up the idea of booting his girlfriend/showmance partner/whatever the hell she is. Huh? So he gropes the girl, kisses her, half-ass proposes to her...and wants her gone because he thinks she's playing him? I'm hoping this is all some pre-planned act between them, or he's going to be short a few teeth when Erika finds out how he's been trashing her behind her back. If Janelle and Howie weren't convinced, Boogie then tells them that he was about to take care of business under his sheets last night, complete with lotion and tissues, when Erika climbed in. He says he told her he was naked, and she replied "It's okay." Now there's a mental image I did not need.
Erika needs counseling if this is the best she can do.
It's not long before Will and Boogie are downstairs, trashing Janelle and filling in James and Dani on what's going on. They tell James that he's safe this week, and they discuss what they think the Coup is about. Soon after, they all have a pow-wow in the HoH room: Will, Boogie, Howie, James, and Janelle. Howie yells, James denies, and Will lies. Janelle gets James to promise that he's not on Dani's side, and he gets her to say she's not with Marcellas. Boogie sits off to the side, loving the show. And now? The whole group thinks Marci should be put up, so he'll have a meltdown and be useless. Janie hesitates again (why, Janie?!) and the group promises that he won't be voted out, they just want to mess with him. The Perfect Storm alliance then takes a vote: to put Marci up, but boot Erika. They all raise their hands but Janelle.
Thankfully, the hamsters take a break from lying and scheming for more mundane activities. A few work out, and Danielle talks about finding a gigantic cockroach by her bed (which brings us flames. Hee.). Janie and Will share some girly time making shell jewelry, Marcellas complains that the soda is flat (blamed on Howie), and George pounds the tar out of some slop in hopes of making bread flour out of it. Uh, okay. Janelle and Will are both worrying about how the shower scene from last night will affect their relationships outside of the house, and they agree to downplay it in the DR as just a bunch of friends taking a shower. What are you laughing at? Don't you take showers with all of your friends? In your bathing suits?
Off with her head!
Another clue to the Coup appears: the Grim Reaper! No, no, it's not Erika. It was the third clue, and Boogie runs to the DR with his answer (that Will had already come up with the day before): "You reap what you sow." *ding* Give that man a slop cookie! That is indeed the correct answer, but Boogie has no idea what he has won yet. Erika and Dani are kicking themselves for answering too soon, and they all debate what the great power will be.
Janelle has seen the light (after hours of prodding) and has decided to reluctantly put Marcellas up as a pawn. She goes to tell him of her plan, and he's sure that he'll be voted out. She assures him that he'll be safe, and he asks what we all want to know: "Why won't you put Will or Boogie up?" She tells him that she's going to stick with her plan, and Marci runs to tell Dani. She can't believe that Janelle told him, or that she picked Marci over Chicken George.
And here I thought nothing fun happened on Sundays - we get drunk hamsters hot-tubbing! Janelle puts her make-up on (for a hot tub?) and brings the body butter down to the tub, where Howie, Will, Boogie, Erika, and Dani are. They try to get Chicken George to do a belly flop (he doesn't) and they proceed to get plastered, with the exception of WIll and Boogie. Howie strips down to his undies, and they end up playing spin the bottle. Oh, no. Erika kisses Boogie, then spins to get Janelle. Howie begs profusely, and they peck on the lips. Janelle barely kisses Boogie (I hope that water is heavily chlorinated), and somehow Howie spins Will. "No way!!" hollers Will, but he still gets one on the cheek from Howie. Will pecks Danielle, Janie gets Will twice, and Erika picks Will. Will says "The game is over" and Danielle replies "Your relationship is over."
Oh yeah, she's really into this.
So is Will.
The booze is still flowing as Howie taunts Danielle, claiming that she wants to see his stuff. Whip out the tic tac, she says. Howie pulls off his undies and Dani throws them in the yard. She walks around in them, imitating Howie, while he covers his goodies with a slop bucket. Janelle has agreed to let Erika and Boogie have the HoH room alone tonight, and off they go. They smooch, we get a glimpse of Boogie's butt as he changes, and Erika worries that people will see them online. Boogie tells her no, the HoH cameras aren't on (duh!), and she climbs on top of him for more kissing. I'll leave it right there, as I feel my lunch wanting to make a reappearance.
The party turns to strategy talk and breaks up around 1 am, with the hamsters wandering off to play cards, eat, take showers, and fart (Howie!). At some point, Will suggests that Janie put James up and make Erika their fifth alliance member. Howie didn't like that idea. Later on, Janie and Marci have a meeting, and it seems like she now wants to put Chicken George up. Where this came from, I don't know. When she talks with James and Howie after that, James tries to get Boogie nominated, but she doesn't go for it, not wanting to make Chilltown mad at her. Confused? So am I. Thankfully, they all go to sleep and stop talking nonsense.
If you're going to be an exhibitionist, at least have something to show.
Morning comes, and the veto ceremony is announced. The hamsters prepare, and everyone is still wondering: who will go up in Danielle's place? Will it be George, James, or Marci? I'm not even going to guess anymore. We'll find out shortly....
These people are giving me a headache....firstname.lastname@example.com

photos dont work, i was going to upload them for you but you have dont edit pictures and i dont want to get in trouble, anyways, go to your picture, click full size, scroll down to option 2, and copy that, then paste that in an image link on the forums, that should fix it for you
edit: those are look way too bright, especially the gorilla one, might want to tone that down for starters
Im getting this: [X]
Sorry, just figured it out, Thxn for the help
Is the third picture from the zoo?
haha, the third one is actually my dog, I added it anyways
I think the pictures themselves are decent, id prefer it if you pp the first two a bit, the colors aren't too great and im guessing you were shooting at around noon, which would explain the overexposure. The dog/wolf picture is good, nice crispness, my main problem is the background, its very distracting whatever that is to the left of his right eye. I'd have prefer to seen it both at a different angle then that, since that is pretty much bending over angle.
Yeah it was right about noon, i will play around with the pictures in Aperture and see what i can do, the husky picture i took when i got my SB900 so i was just playing around i wish the stupid laptop wasn't in the background

Nome's junior basketball team, visiting last week for the Hooptime junior basketball tournament, left with more then it came with.
According to Carl Ferlauto, member of the Juneau-Gastineau Rotary Club, the team arrived in Juneau on March 19 and went right to the gym.
"They changed, got on the court, played and went back to the locker room to find their clothing and belongings had been rifled, and a little more than $700 in cash had been stolen," Ferlauto said.
"We were really shocked," said Nome's coach LieuDell Goldsberry. "We just couldn't explain it. The kids got their money taken, and we were wondering what we were going to do for food for them."
According to Ferlauto, Keith Peeples, the Community Schools building supervisor that night, informed KINY of the incident.
After hearing the news the next morning, KINY and the Juneau-Gastineau Rotary Club decided to head a collection place for donations to the team.
"We thought it was appropriate, because we were infuriated as well. It was not a very nice welcome for our visitors," Ferlauto said. "People in the community started to call in and bring in donations, running up the stairs and such. So, we did a quick passing of the hat, and by then they had quite a bit of money."
By the end of day on Thursday, KINY and the Juneau-Gastineau Rotary Club were able to hand over an envelope of $2,538.75 cash, Ferlauto said.
"And this came from everything from small children who wanted to kick in to major businesses," Ferlauto said.
A presentation was made at 8 p.m. on Thursday in front of the entire Hooptime tournament, during which Ferlauto said the following message was conveyed to the Nome team:
"Unfortunately, your team found out there are a few bad people in Juneau, but hopefully this gesture shows that there are a lot more really good people. We know this is more than you lost. Put it toward your next trip back here, because we really want you to come back."
Ferlauto said the team seemed to be pretty moved by the gesture.
"The kids were excited. It was very nice of the community, and the parents appreciated it too," Goldsberry said. "They were happy they got their money back, and on top of that, I was able to alleviate the cost of going down to Juneau."
Goldsberry is thankful to the community for pulling through.
"It's a great community to live in," he said. "They care about their sports and it shows by what they did for us."
Among several notable donations, the team received $700 from Mendenhall Auto and eight $25 gift certificates, one for each player, from Western Marine Auto, to buy supplies and socks, said Goldsberry. Bullwinkles Pizza Parlor also threw a pizza party for the team and offered another one at cost out of the collected money.
"I was very thankful and relieved in the sense that the kids got their money back," Goldsberry said. "And they got back more than what was taken."
With the extra funds, Goldsberry said he was able to make contributions back to the parents who paid money to come. And despite the unfortunate incident, Goldsberry said the team is looking forward to returning next year.
"Just goes to show that the community of Juneau is a great place to live in," Goldsberry said. "Shows you that just because there's one bad apple, doesn't mean the rest is."

(Comprehensive Guide to Short Stories, Critical Edition)
Ruby, a southern woman, has come in from the rain and is drying herself off and talking to herself. The scene is a primitive and remote cabin, perhaps in the author's native Mississippi. That she talks to herself so easily indicates that she is used to being alone. She cries out in astonishment that the sample of coffee on the table is wrapped in newspaper, and the narrator relates that "She must have been lonesome and slow all her life, the way things would take her by surprise."
Ruby suffers from cabin fever, a depression resulting from a nearly total isolation from the world, a condition often afflicting the rural poor in a time when modern transportation and communication did not extend to them. Ruby seldom sees anyone other than her husband, and she has no radio or telephone to fill the void. With little stimulation from the outside, the newspaper becomes a delightful diversion. She spreads it out before the fire and is astonished by so many words, and at best she can only trace out a few of them. Suddenly her own name leaps out from the page: Ruby Fisher! With difficulty she reads the short and utterly ambiguous announcement: "Mrs. Ruby Fisher had the misfortune to be shot in the leg by her husband this week."
Ruby does not realize that this is merely a coincidence of names. In her ignorance and superstition, she is trapped in a primitive confusion between a symbol and what that symbol represents, just as primitive people sometimes believe that the spirit of a person is contained in the name. Her name on the page has a powerful magic far greater than her own feeble authority. Her first reaction is fear and anger. How could her husband Clyde do such...

New technology in old Taipei
A quick scoot around the halls
Computex 2000 Each day of Computex, we'll try to bring you a roundup of companies and products that caught our eye at the trade show.
MP3 players. Some people swear by them but an awful lot of folk swear at them. We saw a couple of models which to us, at least, were new. Addonics was exhibiting its Lobo MP3 player, available to OEMs everywhere, the firm hopes. This number offers optional built in memory, expandable memory, weighs 65 grams excluding the batteries, and is 83H x 58W x 17D (millimeters). It claims 12 hours of continuous playback time. Addonics was also showing a number of other devices on its stand including the eZ GO S2000, which has two line LCD display, is upgradeable to 96MB, and also includes FM tuner autoscan. It will record radio content while listening, the firm claims. Pine was also showing an MP3 player V a curious circular jobbie called the Palmp-3. It has a seven band equaliser, 32MB of memory, and comes in some "groovy colours", with a USB interface.
Remember Rise from last year's Computex. Then, the firm was showing its latest microprocessors but something went terribly strange along the way and now it is concentrating on supplying its CPUs for the Information Appliance market. So we saw the Millennium iDragon Wave, which Rise claims is one of the lowest power X86 system on a chip solution for IA.
The skirling of the bagpipes. What's that got to do with Computex? Well, walking down one alley we came across a piper dressed in full Scottish regalia playing a lively little number on his bagpipes. Sure enough, our old friends from Locate in Scotland have a stand at the show yet again. Hoots and jings. On Thursday, we're due to hear a pitch from the Welsh Development Agency so it looks as though the Celtic fringes will be hammer and tongs over attracting investment to their shores once again. ®

Reviews Comments: Popeye the Sailor Vol. 1: 1933-1938 (DVD) Review Popeye season review by prinzenick
What i can say about Popeye-he is what he is. And what is he more than one of the most unique, iconic and likable cartoon characters ever to set foot on american soil, be it in a comic book, cartoon serial, TV show, or even a feature length movie or three. And with this DVD set, we can finally see how he became the cartoon icon he is. Let me put it this way-the day this set was released should have been a national holiday-not only is this the first official home video release of the Popeye cartoons, but it's also the first to give them the treatment they deserve-for years, fans were stuck with aged, fading prints, badly traced and recolored Korean prints, or various quality prints taped off of TV reairings over the years. But once you see the restorations on this set, it'll make you want to set all of those other copies on fire! These shorts have recieved the best restoration jobs i have ever seen for a classic cartoon-all of the dirt, grime, and as much of the original scratches and shakiness of the original negatives as possible are all gone-and in their place is crisp, beautiful black & white cartoons, looking just like they did in the 30's, if not better! And to ease the rest of restoration nitpickers, Digital Destruction has been brutally averted-the lines haven't been thinned out, theres no sign of DVNR anywhere, and the two color specials have had their original colors lovingly restored to their original rich, lushness! The sound is also crisp as a bell-it's all clear, with all the hisses and pops shaved out. Now besides the jaw dropping restorations, these are some of the funniest, bestest cartoons ever made. The Fleischers used any surreal gag or line that would work, and pulled out all stops to give their audience entertainment in its rawest form-the animation is also great, and the music is amazing-their musical cartoons in particular are good enough to even give Disney musicals a run for their money! The dialogue and add-libbing is hilarious, as are the characters and their perfect chemistry together. On top of all that, all the cartoons are 100% uncut, so you get all the old politically incorrect stuff fully intact here. 60 cartoons total, with 16 bonus silent cartoons and a few fantastic documentaries to seal the deal. An absolute must have for any cartoon fan, old or young. 10/10
^ Very nice. I've always loved Popeye myself for being a very different kind of hero. He's downright ugly but pretty patriotic and he can do just about anything with his smoking pipe. It's probably why we won't ever see much of the great dude thanks to his age old habbit. I remember demanding my mom to give me spinnach because of Popeye reagrdless of the taste or if it even worked. Getting a little kid to eat their vegetables is a feat of epic proportions.
Wait, Popeye is on DVD? WHY WAS I NOT TOLD?!! *rushes off to buy*
Excellent review. You comvinced me. Not that I didn't love Popeye already.

World-record performances by Marita Koch and the 4x100-meter relay team carried the East Germany women`s team to victory Sunday in the World Cup in Canberra, Australia.
Koch shattered the 400-meter record by more than a half-second with a clocking of 47.60 seconds. The previous mark of 47.99 was set in 1983 by Jarmila Kratochvilova, who, in the final outdoor appearance of her career, finished fifth Sunday.

Lady Lily Jameson is thrilled to attend a house party given by Daniel Farnsworth, the Duke of Lybrook, but not because he's the most eligible bachelor in the peerage. Her only interest is his famous art collection, which reputedly includes a painting by her favorite artist, Jan Vermeer. Daniel, duke only by virtue of the untimely deaths of his father and older brother, wants nothing to do with his new duties. He'd rather continue his rakish ways.
"Poor performance, worse story"
Lady Alexandra MacIntyre has made up her mind. Having grown up in near poverty, she's marrying for money - a lot of money - and she'll do anything to achieve her goal...even get herself caught in a compromising situation by her overprotective and smugly conventional - although achingly handsome - new stepbrother, Lord Evan Xavier.
"Smexy Time!!"
Lady Sophie MacIntyre has the voice of an angel, but due to her timid nature, no one ever hears it. After losing a bet to her conniving sister, Sophie auditions for the new musicale at the Regal Theatre run by handsome actor Zachary Newland. Though distracted by Zach's elegant masculinity and her own nerves, she sings well and earns a role in the production.
"Naughty and Nice"
Lady Rose Jameson knows her place - respect authority and convention and marry a suitable member of the peerage. Lord Evan Xavier, the second son of the Earl of Brighton, possesses the necessary pedigree, but though Rose enjoys his company, the spark she craves is missing...the spark she feels with handsome commoner Cameron Price.

Chapter 29
by MacKenzie Kennedy
Northroad smiled through gritted teeth. If she fidgeted one more time...
Court life was full of stand and wait. Both his brother and sister-in-law were used to this.
Her fingers started tapping out the rhythm for a spell that would require a symbol on the floor to work. No, it was just memory work.
Northroad stifled a sigh. He loved her and really, there wasn't any reason for them both to be here.
He walked the few steps to Aayla's side and leaned down. "Would you like to check the rest of the palace?"
The grateful look she gave him was worth it. "Really?"
"Mm. Go inspect something."
She flashed him a grin and was off.
Skythunder had already claimed a new workroom and both Ean and Orn as assistants-in-training.
So they were unavailable.
Aayla looked down at her diagram. All the blank rooms were undisputed. The ones with an X had been.
"Sounds simple enough," Aayla murmured to herself. "Find an unmarked room and someone in it, then inspect."
"Ah. Is mine next?"
Aayla whipped her head around. A thin man in his early twenties pushed his glasses up nervously. "It depends on which lab is yours." She offered the diagram.
He took it, saying, "I didn't mean to imply that one of the rooms is mine. But I am a lab assistant."
Aayla shrugged. "That's fine. I just spent the last four months being a temporary one."
"Ah. The room hasn't been inspected." He glanced up. "I can let you in."
"Thank you."
They walked down the hall to the right door and the assistant used his key. They stepped inside and Aayla was given the tour.
"And this-" the assistant began, gesturing to a leafy green plant.
With reflexes trained by war (but mostly student and peacetime mage 'activities'), Aayla dropped to the floor, taking the unnamed lab assistant with her before the boom had barely begun.
A good minute after the noise had stopped, the assistant raised his hands from the back of his head and looked up. "Well," he said. "Nothing looks damaged from here." He levered himself into a sitting position. "And I'm not bleeding. How are you?"
Aayla did her own check. "I'm okay."
"Brilliant." He hopped to his feet and hurried off toward where the explosion had come from. "Now what made that noise?"
Aayla put shields in place before she did anything else, including getting up. She keyed them to the assistant the second she locked eyes on him. "Just in case, we should check for concussions."
"Mm? Oh, yes." He walked a few steps right, opened a drawer, pulled out a mirror, and checked his pupils. "I'm okay." He offered it to her.
Aayla sighed. Another one of those 'head in the clouds of science' types. "Someone else needs to look." She looked at his eyes at the same time he checked hers. "Fine."
"Good." He went back to looking for the cause of the explosion, picking up things and looking for scorch marks.
He finally opened a drawer and smoke came out. "Hm..." he said, waving it away and peering inside. "That wasn't supposed to be explosive..."
Footsteps echoed in the hall and Aayla cringed. "Is there someone else working here today or do all the labs have alarms?"
"Alarms," the assistant said, distracted. "Why?"
"I could be in a lot of trouble."
Skythunder cautiously poked his head around the doorway. "Oh," he said, relaxing when he saw Aayla. "Are you all right?"
"Just fine. Why are you here?"
Skythunder smiled. "I put a spell on you in case you encountered any explosions you didn't trigger yourself."
Aayla frowned at that. "That's a pretty specific spell."
"Yes. What went wrong?"
Aayla shrugged. " I was inspecting and there was a boom."
"But I've got it contained and cleaned up," the assistant said. "Mella and I can start with that tomorrow."
"What is your name?" Aayla asked, frowning slightly at the assistant. "I refuse to go through an explosion with someone and not know their name."
"Oh, it's Tain."
"Tain, I'm Mage Teablossom. This is Mage Skythunder."
He blinked at them, opened his mouth, then shut it. He tilted his head. "There's someone else coming."
"I don't hear-" No, there were footsteps. Darn.
Aayla moved outside with Skythunder while Tain followed her. "Oh, no," she groaned.
"Are you all right?" Northroad said, coming to a stop in front of them, eyes moving over them.
"Yes, we're fine." Maybe if she tried being reassuring?
Northroad took a deep breath. "Mage Aayla Teablossom, was there an explosion?"
"In a lab you were inspecting?"
"And no one was hurt."
"No one at all."
"Good." Northroad paused. "What are you two doing coming to another country and blowing up someone else's lab?!"
Skythunder frowned. "I wasn't here. And I have my own workroom." He pointed in the direction of said workroom to be helpful.
"This 'is' my country and I wasn't near whatever blew up," Aayla said, crossing her arms.
"It was contained to a drawer." Three sets of eyes went to the assistant. "It wasn't supposed to be explosive. It's not the mage's fault. She acted most admirably, throwing me down like that."
"You threw someone down?" Northroad said.
"There was an explosion!"
"Oh yes. I could have been killed," Tain said. "But for now, I think I'll find the book I was after and go back to my room. Mella insists that I have more reading to do." He ducked back inside the lab before anyone could reply.
Northroad scrubbed his hand over his eyes. "Teablossom..."
"I'll leave the inspecting to someone else and go help Skythunder."
"Yes," Skythunder said happily. "If you blow up my workroom, I won't care."
"No one is blowing up anything. This is my sister-in-law's country. I'm sure she'd like it intact."
As always, my website (linked on my profile) is updated first. Fictionpress may not get the newest chapter for days. Or weeks if I'm really slow.

TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/NSF) — It will be virtually impossible for lawmakers to redraw two congressional districts deemed unconstitutional by a Tallahassee judge before the Nov. 4 general election, lawyers for the Department of State, the Legislature and county elections supervisors argued in court Thursday.
Leon County Circuit Judge Terry Lewis did not decide how to move forward with his July 10 ruling that struck districts in Northeast and Central Florida but agreed to hold another hearing next week to listen to arguments from both sides.
There isn't enough time to craft new districts because of state and federal deadlines related to mailing ballots for the Aug. 26 primary election and qualifying periods for the general election, the lawyers said.
"This is not an impending election. This election has begun. To undo that, or to cancel that, is both impossible and in no way governed or set forth by Florida statutes or the constitution," George Meros, a lawyer representing the Legislature, told the judge during a 20-minute hearing Thursday morning.
But David King, a lawyer representing voting-rights groups that sued the state over the congressional map drawn up in 2012 by the GOP-controlled Legislature, argued that lawmakers should come up with a new plan.
"We've already had one election on an unconstitutional map in 2012," King said.
Lewis ruled last week that lawmakers failed during the 2012 redistricting process to follow the anti-gerrymandering Fair Districts constitutional amendments, approved by voters in 2010. The amendments bar the Legislature from crafting districts that favor incumbents or political parties.
Lewis' ruling targeted districts represented by Congresswoman Corrine Brown, a Jacksonville Democrat, and Congressman Daniel Webster, a Winter Garden Republican. Brown's District 5, which winds its way from Jacksonville to Orlando, has been criticized for years as one of the worst examples of gerrymandering in the nation.
Redrawing the two districts targeted in Lewis's ruling could affect some neighboring seats, especially those surrounding Webster's District 10 seat.
House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, and Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, surprised many Capitol insiders— including Lewis — when they announced earlier this week they would not appeal the judge's ruling, if this year's elections could take place as planned.
"Quite frankly when I issued my order I thought surely one side or the other would appeal. So it didn't really occur to me to start thinking about what to do with the 2014 election," Lewis said.
Siding with the state, elections supervisors' lawyer Ron Labasky told the judge that officials have already mailed overseas ballots and received some voted ballots in return. And the first batch of absentee ballots is slated to be sent to voters next week, Labasky said.
"I'm not sure how we back up and allow somebody to vote again in a new district," Labasky, general counsel for the Florida State Association of Supervisors of Elections, said. "Absent some very novel, creative plan on your part, we just don't see how there's any possible way … to have an election in newly created districts."
But King took issue with the legislative leaders' approach.
"It's surprising that the Legislature would say on the one hand that you're right … we accept the decision that this map is unconstitutional," he said. "Now what we get is a salvo about how it's so impossible to deal with it and there's no effort to even consider trying to get this situation resolved before the 2014 election."
King asked Lewis to schedule a hearing next week to "see if there's a way we can't deal with this so we can have an election in 2014 on a constitutional map."
Gaetz and Weatherford proposed having lawmakers deal with a new map after the November elections. Holding a special session to deal with the map prior to that would create another "obstacle," Lewis noted.
"There's a lot of time constraints. If you called everybody real quick, it would still take a lot of time," he said.
"The News Service of Florida's Dara Kam contributed to this report."

"This is the story of how the UK banking system could have collapsed in the early 1990s, but for the forbearance of a junior barrister who also happened to be an expert in computer law -- and who discovered that at that time the computing department of one of the banks issuing ATM cards had 'gone rogue', cracking PINs and taking money from customers' accounts with abandon," reports Charles Arthur at The Register.
"The reason you're hearing it now is that, with Chip and PIN cards finally in widespread use in the UK, the risk of the ATM network being abused as it was has fallen away. And now that junior barrister, Alistair Kelman, wanted to get paid for thousands of pounds of work that he did under legal aid, when he was running a class action on behalf of more than 2,000 people who had suffered 'phantom withdrawals' from their bank accounts. What you're about to read comes from the documents he submitted last week to the High Court, pursuing his claim to payment."
Small correction: Alistair tells me: " I did not charge £1,750 per hour -- just £450 per hour or £45 for six minutes based on very detailed timesheets."

A prosecutor's badge is a badge used as identification for prosecutors. It depicts a blazing sun looming over winter frost. It is allegedly designed to portray the severity of the punishment system. Every prosecutor carries a badge, though many don't wear it openly in the way defense attorneys do. Manfred von Karma for example, believed in keeping his badge in his pocket at all times and taught Miles Edgeworth, and most other district prosecutors, to do the same. There may be less of a need for prosecutors to display their badges openly because they are state-appointed. However, Chief Prosecutor Bansai Ichiyanagi and his son Yumihiko Ichiyanagi wear their badges, presumably because von Karma had no influence on his superior.
This badge design was also used by Japanese prosecutors during the Meiji period, albeit on an armband rather than as a lapel pin. Additionally, the design used for the prosecutor's badge can be seen on the floor design of the office of the chief of police.

Pogue on VoSKY
by Bruce Stewart
The always astute and entertaining David Pogue takes a look at the VoSKY Call Center from ActionTec in today's New York Times, and gives it a big thumbs up, though he does point out a few "gotchas". The $60 VoSKY unit allows you to use a standard home phone to make and recieve your Skype calls, as well as from your cell phone -- which Pogue thinks is a pretty neat trick. It also offers a call return feature, so that numbers you call via Skype that aren't available will generate a call back to your specified phone when your buddy is back online, prompting you to place the call again.
Pogue isn't thrilled with the voice talent ActionTec used in the prodcut though:
Pogue isn't thrilled with the voice talent ActionTec used in the prodcut though:
And speaking of the recordings: Good heavens, was this the best voice-over talent ActionTec could find? The young lady speaks slowly and self-consciously, like the world's worst actor in a junior high musical. You can just imagine her saying, "Do not look now, Dorothy, but are those flying monkeys I see? Oh dear me."
If those gotchas don't getcha, though, you'd be hard-pressed to find another $60 gadget that works so crisply, reliably and efficiently. If you're among the 25 million existing Skypaholics, the Call Center could magnify the pleasure of making those free calls. And if you're not, the VoSky Call Center is one more reason to see what Skype is all about.

Ok remember how I was gonna do a review on chicago deep dish pizza? I ordered 1 pizza from the top 3 places recommended to me on twitter and had a mini pizza party.
I certainly remember. BECAUSE EVERYONE KEEPS REMINDING ME TO WRITE ABOUT IT.
Well. Here is it. I'll tell it to you straight because we are best friends.
It was a tie.
Okay so fine. I know that if you live in Chicago, or are from Chicago, or have been there once, you freaking love this stuff. I know it. I know it because you verbally mutilated me on twitter for saying it wasn't my cup of tea, because I don't like huge pieces of shit in my tea (aziz ansari). But this is MY BLOG and I. Don't. Like. Deep Dish.
Which is why I will just post some pictures from the day. And you can see at the end which pizza became the lesser of 3 evils. Deal? Deal.
First? Gino's East.
Ok, Gino. We need to talk. Firstly, what is up with your crust? If ANYONE wanted whack pieces of thick, flavorless bread that I'd rather discard than consume, why would you put SO much of it around a pizza? I feel like this issue could all be solved with a little garlic powder and…I dunno…A LITTLE THOUGHT AND CARE INTO THE RECIPE? I guess that's just me. Secondly, what is up with your crust? Thirdly, what the fuck is up with your crust?
Next, Pizano's.
Well mister Pizano. I've always wondered if it was humanly possible to have too much cheese on something. Since birth, my mind has been consumed with this single, pestering question. You sir. You made me realize that it IS possible. Anything is possible. And for that, I thank you. But I think it's really cool that with what you lacked in overall flavor, you made up for in cheese. Way to balance.
And lastly, thank god, Giordano's.
Alright, Giordano's. I'll admit it. You are physically pretty. But on the inside, you seem to be a little bit….meh. Like Megan Fox, or something. You are the Megan Fox of pizza.
Ok see why I put this off for so long? Because by the end, I cared SO little. It's not my style. I didn't grow up on cheese casserole with tomato topping. I just didn't. So blame it on my upbringing.
For the record, Gino's East won. It was like picking the best actor between Nic Cage, Keanu Reeves, and Nic Cage.
Congrats to all who participated.

To keep from off-topic in the Overwatch thread: metabolism slowing down is a trap that a lot of people of small stature fall into, so I've also been trying to step away from junk foods for the exact same reason, avoid the trap now rather than later

Kari Lehtonen ready to get startedby Mark Stepneski / Dallas Stars
Training camp is a little more than three weeks away, but there are signs of activity at the Dallas Stars training facility in Frisco. A few players have started to skate on some mornings. Among them is goaltender Kari Lehtonen.
It's been a quiet summer for Lehtonen, who spent his time just being a dad and, of course, preparing for the 2013-14 season.
"It was good, resting and working out," said Lehtonen. "I was here and in Atlanta a little bit, no trips. My son is eleven-months-old, so it was playing with him and doing that sort of thing. We didn't go to Finland because I don't think we could have handled him in a plane for 20 hours."
While Lehtonen's summer was relatively quiet, the Stars were busy. There was a lot of change, and it was significant. Lehtonen was still around when Jim Nill took over as general manager, but since then Lindy Ruff has come in as head coach and the Stars went out and added forwards Tyler Seguin, Rich Peverley and Shawn Horcoff and defensemen Sergei Gonchar through trades, and drafted forward Valeri Nichushkin.
"It's going to be exciting. Every year there are some changes and this time there were many, many changes," Lehtonen said. "It's always the same, it's tough to see your friends go somewhere else, but we've got some new guys coming here and we are getting some great players. It's going to be exciting to see how we are going to become a team, start playing and winning together. I'm excited. I haven't seen the coach, but I've talked to him a couple of times. He seems like a nice guy and from what I've heard he's a good coach. That's always a plus. The GM seems really knowledgeable and he has a plan for us. It's good."
There is also a new goaltending partner in Dan Ellis, signed as a free agent over the summer. Ellis, who was originally drafted by the Stars in 2000, will bring some veteran presence to the backup position.
"I don't know too much (about him), but I've seen him play," said Lehtonen. "I talked to the equipment guys – they were here when he was in the system and he was up a little bit too – and they said he's a great guy. I am excited that he is coming here and he's going to make the goaltending even stronger. Hopefully, we can be really good together."
There have been more than management and player personnel changes for the Stars. There's a new look as well, with new uniforms and a new logo for the 2013-14 season. Lehtonen admitted he wasn't completely on board with the change at first, but he's been swayed by time.
"I am starting to like them. I felt like maybe we didn't need to change the logo, maybe bring back the old star and all that stuff. Now, I've lived with it for a little while and I really like it," he said. "There are experts who are deciding these things and they got it right. The only hard thing is I need to change my pants now. I usually wear the same pants for five or six years, so it's hard for me to put on the new ones. Now I have to, I have no choice. That's the only thing I wasn't happy with."
This year will bring in a new contract for Lehtonen, a five-year, $29.5 million extension that he signed just prior to the start of last season's lockout. This will be Lehtonen's fourth full season with the Stars. He's still looking for his first trip to the postseason with Dallas. The Stars haven't made the playoffs since 2008. There's a lot of motivation to end the drought, and to end the questions about it.
"Yep. It's something we always talk about before the season starts and during the season," Lehtonen said. "We'll just have to go out there and execute and play well."
Motivation will come on a personal level for Lehtonen as well. 2014 is an Olympic year and Lehtonen has his sights on one of the three goaltending spots on Finland's roster. Finland announced its candidates for the Olympics earlier this summer, and Lehtonen is one of eight goaltenders under consideration. There is some stiff competition with Boston's Tuukka Rask, San Jose's Antti Niemi, Nashville's Pekka Rinne and Minnesota's Niklas Backstrom among those in contention.
"That's something I really want to do. It's a goal for me, but that means I have to play really well right off the bat. I believe I can do that," Lehtonen said. "There's tough competition. We have five, six, seven goalies fighting for those three spots. It's a tight race and I think it is something that gives an extra little spark for me personally.
"I am getting older and I haven't played in those. A couple times I was hurt, but I've always thought I won't have many more of those to come. Here's another chance. I hope I can be healthy. The competition is a little tougher than a few years ago. It's exciting."
With a shot at playing in Olympics and all the changes surrounding the Stars, there's plenty to be excited about.
"I can't wait to get to camp," Lehtonen said, "and get this started."

Complement factor H polymorphism, inflammation, smoking, and aging macular disease in the general population
Search Medline for
|September 18, 2006
To examine the recently reported association between aging macular disease (AMD) and the complement factor H (CFH) gene, a regulator of complement, in a large Caucasian population in conjunction with potentially modifying risk factors.
The frequency of the Y402H polymorphism of CFH was 36.2% in 5681 participants of the population-based Rotterdam Study. A diagnosis of early or late prevalent AMD at baseline and incident AMD after 7.6 years of follow-up was based on grading of fundus transparencies by the same graders according to the International Classification System. Risks of AMD were calculated according to the absence or presence of the CFH polymorphism. We next related these risks to serum markers of inflammation, smoking, and genetic variation of C-reactive protein (CRP).
The odds ratio (OR) of AMD increased in an allele-dose manner with clinical severity from OR 2.71 (95% CI 2.10, 3.50) of early AMD , to OR 11.02 (6.82, 11.81) of late AMD for homozygous persons. Absolute risks of late AMD by age 95 were 21.9% for non-carriers of the CFH polymorphism, 42.6% for heterozygotes, and 48.3% for homozygotes. The population attributable risk of Y402H was 54.0%. Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rates further increased risks to OR 20.2 (95% CI 9.5, 43.0), elevated serum CRP to OR 25.6 (9.8, 67.0), and smoking to OR 34.0 (13.0, 88.6) for homozygotes compared to non-carriers without these determinants. CRP haplotypes conferring high CRP levels further increased the effect of Y402H (P<0.008).
The CFH polymorphism Y402H accounts for the majority of AMD in the general population, and is particularly hazardous in the presence of environmental and genetic stimulators of the complement cascade.

U.S. prosecutors have introduced what they say is an application form American terror suspect Jose Padilla filled out to join al-Qaida.
The document was revealed at a bond hearing Thursday in Miami, at which Padilla pleaded not guilty to charges he conspired to commit terror attacks overseas.
Prosecutors say the document was found by the U.S. military after it invaded Afghanistan in 2001. Lawyers said it was found in a locker with similar documents, which they described as "mujahedin data forms."
They said the form contained Padilla's birth date and his adopted Muslim name, adding that a government witness has verified its authenticity.
Padilla's lawyers said prosecutors failed to show the form had any direct link to their client.
Padilla is currently being tried in a civilian court, after spending more than three years without charge as what the Bush administration terms an "enemy combatant."

Today was a day we have all been anxious for, the day we finally got the gantry on the C&C machine and scooted it into place. We had been looking around for machine skates during the past few weeks with no luck here in St. George. It wasn't until some old guy passing by stopped in to see who had moved in, took a look at it and said "Just roll it on pipes", Genius! So yesterday we went down to the steel yard and picked up 18 12″ steel pipes for $19 and scooted the machine to the front of the building. The gantry weighs about 7000 lbs and is front heavy. So we have to use a ridiculously large forklift to get it off the ground, the problem was that forklift did not fit in the door!
The game plan was to use the big lift to get the gantry off the ground (while the lift was still outside), chain it to the lift, push the table underneath it, drop the gantry and bolt it down. Then we would push the entire machine in pipes back into place. Well it took in total 3 forklifts, 5 dudes and half the day but the machine is in place and ready for wiring.
As mentioned in every progress post, we still have tons to do, but we are making daily progress! Here are some pics of the progress.
Note that in our California factory, this machine took up an entire 600 SF unit!

Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has appointed a bipartisan panel to study ways Virginia might streamline the restoration of civil rights for nonviolent felons without amending the state constitution.
Proposals endorsed by Gov. Bob McDonnell to amend the constitution to provide for automatic rights restoration foundered at the General Assembly. Cuccinelli has named eight people to a committee to look for alternative methods of restoring rights for ex-cons.
Cuccinelli said he remains concerned about "ratcheting up several low-level offenses from misdemeanors to felonies – what I have called 'felony creep,'" he said in a news release.
"There should be a way for willing individuals who want to regain their place in society to be forgiven, be given a second chance, and to pursue a path to regain their civil rights, Cuccinelli said.
Committee members are Virginia Beach Commonwealth's Attorney Harvey Bryant; Dinwiddie County Commonwealth's Attorney Lisa Caruso; George Mason associate university counsel Anne Gambrill Gentry; Paul Goldman, former senior advisor to Governor Douglas Wilder; Norfolk lawyer Henry Howell III; Center for Community Corrections president Donald Santarelli and former deputy attorney general Ashley Taylor Jr.
