MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College men's basketball program and head coach Terry Sellers announced the signing of Josh Brown Monday.
At 6-foot-10, Brown played his high school basketball at Clearwater High School (Fla.) for head coach Allen Carden. The post man averaged 7 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 blocks per game this past season.
"We thought Josh played well when he came in and worked out with our team," said Sellers. "I believe his best basketball is ahead of him. With his strong work ethic and coachable attitude, we believe he has a chance to be a good player in the Peach Belt Conference (PBC). We are glad to add another post player to our 2010-2011 recruiting class."
The Bobcats are fresh off a 16-10 season in 2010-11, finishing third in the PBC. The Bobcats lose two seniors, including starting center Reece Wiedeman (2006-11), who was named Second Team All-PBC and starting forward Josh Hurst (2007-11), who earned a spot on the PBC All-Academic Team three years in a row.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Care should be taken for the environment and local wildlife to maintain the ecological balance. Insects, bats, wildlife can
all be effected by light pollution. The warmer colour spectrum of ( 2,700 Kelvins ) does not interfere with
insects and general wildlife as much as the blue colour spectrum of light around 6,000 kelvins which can disrupt their
normal night time activity. This also applies to bats where a anti glare light fittings works better as well as reducing
the overall light pollution in the area. You must also be mindful of your neighbours and the effect your lighting can
have on them and shining a 500w tungsten halogen flood light in to their windows at night will cause them distress. Try
to keep the light in a downward position and local to the items you want to illuminate and even if you want to illuminate
tall trees it can be done in a sympathetic way by placing a ground buried or surface spike flood light directly under
the trees to illuminate the canopy. Some light fittings also have a anti glare shield fitted to reduce light pollution.

Marco Rubio is dancing with some Wall Street stars, according to a Politico report Wednesday, maneuvering for cash ahead of the 2016 presidential race.
The Florida Republican senator, a GOP favorite and possible contender in the next race for the White House, has in recent weeks "quietly met" with executives including Blackstone Group /quotes/zigman/459729 /quotes/nls/bx BX CEO Stephen Schwarzman, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. /quotes/zigman/600022 /quotes/nls/kkr KKR CEO Henry Kravis and senior executives at Goldman Sachs /quotes/zigman/188479 /quotes/nls/gs GS and Barclays /quotes/zigman/152323 /quotes/nls/bcs BCS Capital, among others, according to Politico.
Politico quotes a person familiar with Rubio's meeting with private-equity titan Schwarzman as "a first date. And [Rubio's] doing a lot of them." "Rubio has a very strong sense of himself and positioned himself very early on immigration reform, which Republicans desperately need," the person told Politico.
Other prospective Republican hopefuls are making the rounds in New York, according to Politico.
Rubio is one of several senators working on an overhaul of immigration policy, which analysts say offers investors opportunities in high-tech stocks. The Florida senator also made headlines when giving the GOP response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address by sipping from a water bottle mid-speech.

When it comes to shopping nobody wants to miss a deal--especially during the holidays when the list of who needs a present seems endless.
Continue Reading Below
But you have a secret shopping weapon in your pocket (or purse). There are a variety of apps available for smartphones that will help you save money, compare prices and find the best deal.
Here's a look at five apps that will help you get the best price for everything on your holiday shopping list this year.
With more than two million downloads, RedLaser is one of the more popular apps that will make you a smarter shopper. This free app works on the iPhone, Android-based phones and Windows Phones and allows you to compare prices on an item to find the best deal. You can search for the price of a product by scanning its barcode or searching by voice or image. The app searches both online and traditional stores to save you the most money.
Say you see a must-have toy in the local toy store. Scan the bar code and RedLaser will tell you how much it's going for in other retailers. The app also lets you can buy directly from your phone and pick up the items at nearby stores. RedLaser can also help you in the food aisle: you can scan food products' labels and it will tell you the ingredients to show any possible allergens or keep your diet on track.
Whether you are making a big-ticket purchase or purchasing a gift early, the idea of whether the price will drop in a few weeks is always at the back of your mind.
Decide aims take that decision off your hands. The free app uses proprietary price and modeling predictions to tell you either to head to the check-out counter or wait for a heavier discount. The company says its predictions are right 77% of the time, saving consumers on average $101 per product. You can also track products and set up an alert when a price changes or if there is any news about a product.
For many people, part of the holiday tradition is shopping at local stores instead of on the couch, but shopping in person can be challenging if you are looking for a specific item.
To keep your stress level in check while shopping locally check out Milo, the shopping app for the iPhone and Android-based phones. Search for a product and Milo will check the shelves of its retailer partners to let you know what stores have it in stock. It will also tell you how the local retailer's price compares with others in the area. The free app also includes product descriptions and user reviews so you can make a better purchasing decision.
Everyone knows coupons save money, but in the busy holiday season it can be hard to find the time to clip and sort coupons. Enter the Coupon Sherpa app. This free app takes all the work out of using coupons—it provides access to more than 100 mobile coupon codes. Choose the coupons you want, show it to the cashier and he or she will scan them directly from your mobile device. The GPS feature will help you find the closest store while the favorites feature lets you view coupons from only the stores you shop at.
Even the most loyal Amazon.com shoppers will step into a retail store every now and then. And when they do, they want to make sure the brick and mortar retailer's price is better than Amazon's offerings.
Amazon.com's free app called Price Check lets you compare prices against the online retailer by either scanning the bar code, taking a picture, dictating the product or typing it into your smartphone. If the price is better on Amazon.com you can buy on the spot. If it isn't, you can share that price with Amazon. And you never know, your input could result in Amazon lowering its price.

Philadelphia woman turns up alive 13 days after funeral, burial of body that wasn't her
PHILADELPHIA – A Philadelphia woman has turned up alive nearly two weeks after her family held a funeral and burial.
KYW-TV (http://cbsloc.al/18NBW6I) reports that 50-year-old Sharolyn Jackson showed up at a mental health facility last Friday.
A body found July 20 on a Philadelphia street had been identified as Jackson. A spokesman for the Philadelphia Health Department says Jackson's son and a social worker who knows her viewed pictures of the body and identified it as being hers.
Services for Jackson were held Aug. 3.
The now-buried body will be exhumed in hopes of correctly identifying the remains.

One of the highlights of her Cole Porter Songbook is the supreme rendition by Ella Fitzgerald of "Miss Otis Regrets," extending a classic apology for an unanticipated scheduling conflict:
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, Madam,
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
But last evening down in Lover's Lane she strayed.
Madam, Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
When she woke up and found, that her dream of love was gone, Madam,
She ran to the man who had lead her so far astray.
And from under a velvet gown,
She drew a gun and shot her lover down.
Madam, Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail, Madam,
They strung her from the old willow cross the way.
And the moment before she died,
She lifted up her lovely head and cried,
Madam, Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
Lee Hamilton and Bob Kerrey played Miss Otis at yesterday's 9/11 Commission hearing, walking out on the interview of President Bush and Vice President Cheney: "Dem duo disses Dubya in Oval Office walkout." The New York Post reports:
In a stunning snub, two Democrats on the 9/11 commission yesterday abruptly walked out in the middle of the Oval Office interview with President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
Both early-departing panelists, former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey and ex-Indiana Rep. Lee Hamilton, insisted they had prior commitments – but their sudden slip out the side door of the White House left Washington and some fellow commission members in shock.
Kerrey dashed to handle a private business matter – lobbying Sen. Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) for more money for his employer, the New School University in Manhattan.
Hamilton bolted so that he could introduce the Canadian prime minister at a ceremonial event at the Woodrow Wilson Center, which employs Hamilton as its director.
These are not excuses that rise to the level of Miss Otis's, but we wonder if these gentlemen don't don't deserve to share her fate in effigy.

Saturday I woke up early-ish, and for the first time in quite a while Alex didn't have a meeting on Saturday morning, so we had a lovely brunch at The Village Idiot. Then we went to the Beverly Center to pick up his new suit from J. Lindberg (which he looks extremely handsome in). He went off to a screening of his film at the Arclight (!!!), while I did a couple errands. We met up with some of his friends at The Cat and the Fiddle for drinks. It was the bar's 30th anniversary, so there was free champagne! We had a tasty dinner at Loteria Grill. I like that place, but $9 for chips and guacamole seems a little steep to me.
Sunday morning I packed mimosa supplies and chocolate chip cookies, and met up with my Picture and the Frame bandmates at our friends Justin and Clarissa's place to take some photos in their pool for our album cover. The water was freezing, but I was having a great time until the waterproof camera proved not to actually be waterproof. We'll be trying again in a couple of weeks, much to Rickett and Mark's chagrin, I'm afraid. We were so close, but we didn't quite get there before the camera ceased to function. But the shots we got convinced me that it was, in fact, a great idea, and worth pursuing.
After we dried off and warmed up, we had a nice productive band practice. Alex had an award event Sunday night for the Hollywood Film Festival, but it wasn't until 9, so we got takeout pho and watched "Sherlock" (ob-SESSED), until it was time to go. The event ended up being pretty boring, and I was way overdressed, but I got a free drink out of it at least. Seriously though, nothing less exciting than watching other people network.
Monday, The Picture and the Frame were back in the studio. We laid down drum tracks for 3 songs, and got a little bit of guitar tracking done as well. I took off a little early to go to a fah-bulous gah-la. At the last minute I managed to get a ticket to tag along with Alex and his producing partner, Jonathan, to The Hollywood Film Awards, where we saw a large number of incredibly famous people receive awards for films that in many cases have not actually been released yet...all from the comfort of our table in the far back corner. It was fun though. I had my incredibly dusty Scion valet parked at the Beverly Hilton, then sashayed around the cocktail reception drinking free champagne and martinis in my prom dress from my sophomore year of high school. If I may boast for a moment, I looked like a couple hundred bucks. The program was long, and we consumed a measure more wine than was strictly respectable, but I think we comported ourselves admirably.
And that's just the ladies' room
Tuesday we were back in the studio for more guitar, vocals, and a little bit of organ. I found out on Facebook that morning that Local Natives were playing a "secret" show at The Satellite, and fortunately for me, the man producing our record also produced theirs...and produced me a spot on the list for what turned out to be an utterly SICK show. I mean sick in a positive way, for those of you that are related to me and over 60 (85% of my readership). I saw those guys play there three years ago when they were doing the Monday night residency, then again at Disney Hall with the LA Phil backing them up, so it was really cool to kind of see it come full circle.
The view from the back
Wednesday brought more studio time. I did some more vocals, we tracked Rickett's back-ups. Raymond's friend came by to do some shaker magic. I'm very pleased to say that Mr Raymond Richards himself broke out the pedal steel. After the session, I went to hang out with my other band, Sunken Ships. It was Pablo's birthday, so I stopped by his party for a drink or two, but then these guys showed up with instruments I'd never seen or heard of before, and I simply couldn't leave until I'd seen them in action. Everybody there was taking video. Eventually I'm going to track it down on Facebook.
This is a marimbol. It's a bass thumb piano. I want one. Bad.
A jarana and a requinto jarocho. Not sure which is which.
So that drink or two turned into I'm-not-sure-how-many, but I still rallied Thursday morning to go - you guessed it - back to the studio! Maybe by now you can tell how incredibly excited I am about recording. We were so efficient Monday through Wednesday, that we just had my vocals to do on about 1 1/2 songs. It was nice to have time to really fine tune everything. I'm very very excited! Did I mention I was excited?
All that excitement really crescendoed when I woke up at 5 a.m. for work and realized Alex had given me his cold. You can't win 'em all, I guess. But on the bright side, Raymond sent me the mix of "Crime" today, and I like it!

A recent report from the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) highlights one of the biggest problems that companies have today: the ability to find employees who are ready to tackle the challenges they're likely to meet on the job. In pointing this out, however, the report also makes an unconscious point: that the problem is almost completely companies' own fault.
Before we get into why that is, let's start with a couple of introductory takeaways from the report—the most recent version of the SHRM workplace forecast which "is based on a survey of human resource professionals on their views of key issues they feel will affect the workplace in the coming years."
When asked about the biggest challenges facing them as HR executives over the next 10 years, a couple of interesting, and likely related, themes emerge. First, as you can see from the table below, the perception of challenges has shifted markedly in the past two years. Concerns among HR execs polled in 2010 largely revolved around culture and finding the right employees with the necessary skills to meet business objectives. Fast forward to 2012, however, and the questions of retention and succession planning seem to be top of mind. Not coincidentally, the same survey also reports serious concerns over the effect of the boomer generation leaving the workforce in the course of the next 10 years.
And that's where the problems come in. In a section of the forecast titled "Overall decline in the workforce readiness of new entrants to the labor market", the report notes that "expectations for education and certifications were on the rise across industries and for all types of jobs. This finding means that not only will the next generations of workers need to meet the education levels of the exiting Boomers, but in many jobs they will actually have to surpass them." (Emphasis added).
To further back up this point, the report also cites the results of a 2012 Pew Research Center survey, which found that "the majority of young people (those between the ages of 18 and 34) do not feel they have the education and training to get ahead. Less than half (46%) of those who are employed say they have the education and training necessary to get ahead in their job or career, and only 27% of those not working say they are adequately prepared for the kind of job they want."
Taken together, those points could be used to predict an impending crisis for American business. Companies are losing all of their experienced talent, and finding nothing to replace it with—the fault presumably lying on the part of the millennials and the educational institutions that are failing to prepare them for the workforce they're seeking to enter.
And yet, it's impossible to look at educational data and come to that same conclusion. As we know, rates of educational attainment have rocketed in recent years: BLS data (which I could only find for as far back as 1992) shows that the number of people in the 25+ age range with less than a high school diploma has dropped from 13,756,000 in January 1992 to 10,932,000 just last month—even as the population has grown. Over the same period, the number of 25+-year-olds with any kind of degree—from Bachelor's on up—has almost doubled, up from 27,632,000 to 49,921,000 last month. Clearly, the problem does not lie on the education side.
Going back to the point about replacing the boomers, it seems fair to make a couple of assumptions: first, that the boomer generation—the employees that HR executives are now fretting about being able to replace—was not as well-credentialed as the millennial generation that will be picking up its mantle. And, second, that what the upcoming generation is lacking is not education per se, but experience.
Perhaps instead of lamenting the skills gap, then, companies would be better positioned to meet future demand if they actually asked some of those outgoing employees how it was that they got so good at their jobs in the first place. It's a pretty fair bet that many of them, having first entered the workforce in the 1960s and 1970s will throw around some archaic terms like "workplace training," "apprenticeships" and "time on the job." A survey of the concerns of HR professionals at companies that instituted some of those concepts would likely yield very different results.

When it comes to endurance challenges for new smartphones, we've all seen the typical drop tests and teardown videos that get into the nitty gritty of what's inside most high-end handsets. Rather than smashing and dropping its hardware, Samsung decided to get a little more creative with its stress test in a recently released video.
The footage from Samsung delves into the durability of various aspects of its Galaxy S3 handset. These stress tests show how much pressure its buttons can take, how much weight can be placed on the device for users that like to place phones in their back pocket, and water resistance challenges. Samsung goes as far as to jam the Galaxy S3's buttons 200,000 times to challenge its endurance.
The video isn't in English unfortunately, but viewers don't need to understand what the narrator is saying to get an idea of how much the Galaxy S3 can take. In addition to bashing its buttons and sitting on the device, Samsung put its flagship device through a scratch test before spraying it with a stream of water. Yes, that's right – full streams of fluid, we're not just talking about tiny raindrops here.
After each test, the phone appeared to hold up just fine. The buttons and the body were in tact, the touch screen was functional, and there was no visible physical damage. This certainly beats the boring run of the mill drop tests we've seen thus far, but who knows what other manufacturers are doing behind closed doors.
Although new videos of Samsung's Galaxy S3 are still hitting the Web months after its release, the Korea-based company may have already started crafting its successor. Rumors have circulated the Internet about a Galaxy S4 possibly in production, and it will certainly be interesting to see how durable the next-generation of Samsung's flagship device will be. With talks of flexible displays and eight-core processors in the works for the electronics firm, we're likely to see another powerhouse in the future.
Check out the video below to see Samsung's impressively thorough stress test.

The 2001 counter-terrorism bill known as the Patriot Act contains a series of provisions that are scheduled to "sunset" by the end of 2005. The sunsets were put in place to have some mechanism that would force Congress to give the Patriot Act a second review. In 2001, many members of Congress uneasily voted in favor of the bill with good reason. Now they have an opportunity to review and revise the Act to achieve the proper balance between security and liberty.

Q&A: The Solo Female Traveler in India
In the wake of the brutal rape of a young woman by a gang of men in New Delhi last month, many women from the United States and other countries posted comments online swearing that they would never visit India.
The protests that broke out as the 23-year-old woman fought for her life in hospital -- she died of her injuries Dec. 29 -- prompted Britain and the United States to issue advisories warning their citizens, both men and women, to avoid parts of central Delhi as a safety measure.
Things are quieter now, but it's probably not going to be reassuring to female travelers that a quarter of men surveyed in a small informal poll in New Delhi this month blamed the influence of "western" culture for incidents of rape in India. Women who wear western clothes, drink and smoke should be prepared for unwanted male attention, the poll suggested.
It isn't clear yet whether this crime has had an impact on tourism to India, and in particular on women travelers. Indian government data showed that two million tourists visited India from the UK and the United States in 2011, making them the top two sources of foreign tourists to the country. Numbers for 2012 aren't available yet and the department doesn't provide a break-up of male and female travelers to India.
"The ministry is hopeful that these incidents won't have any negative impact," said S.K. Sinha, deputy director of India's tourism ministry.
Toronto-based travel writer Mariellen Ward, who dispenses advice at breathedreamgo, which she describes as her "India-inspired meaningful adventure travel blog," was in India at the time of the rape on a bus in Delhi.
A self-confessed Indophile who has described India as here "soul's home and my muse," she arrived here in October and spent time in an ashram, as well as the Konark festival in Orissa.
In the wake of the attack, she cut short her trip by three months, departing in early January. (She said on her blog that she was not cutting back her travel to India because of the attack but for other reasons as she bid the country, "Salaam Bombay, namaste Delhi, goodbye India.")
Ms. Ward, who is 52, answered questions via e-mail about what it was like to be in India at the time and what those women who do opt to travel to India should keep in mind.
Edited excerpts.
WSJ: You were in India during and after the incident of the gang rape?
Ms. Ward: I was in Goa when the Delhi gang rape happened and in Mumbai when she died. I was following the unfolding story very closely, especially on social media, and felt a somber sense of gloom until I left India.
The events, the media coverage, the outpouring on social media -- it all affected me very much. I first traveled to India seven years back. I didn't feel more unsafe [on this visit], but I was more aware of feeling vulnerable, and more aware of the negative energy and dark forces.
I think the Delhi gang rape has blown the lid off pervasive sexism in India. The global media attention is probably giving foreign female travelers pause for thought. I don't know of anyone who has canceled their trip, but some are probably rethinking plans to visit India. The ones that are going, are probably taking a few more precautions. I know I found myself being a little more cautious, but I still moved around Delhi by metro, and went out at night in taxis.
WSJ: Why did you cut your trip short?
Ms. Ward: I cut short my trip for financial reasons. I was trying to find partners, sponsors and supporters to help monetize my blog, but couldn't make anything happen. I am still searching for a business model for the blog, and I am going to start offering tours, with a travel & tour company in Delhi.
People are always contacting me for advice and information for travelling in India-- they are daunted. I would love to be able to say, I can arrange a car to pick you up; I can offer you a tour of Delhi. That way, I am making money and offering a valuable service: a reliable, safe way to travel in India.
But also, I think the sombre mood hanging over India didn't help matters. On December 14, my first night in Goa, I had a terrible night: couldn't sleep, felt afraid (as I was staying alone in a house standing alone in a construction site). I can't explain it, but I had a terrible night and suddenly starting feeling outrageously homesick. I had never felt homesick in India, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks, seemingly out of the blue.
WSJ: Do you think the security of women has worsened since your first visit to India?
Ms. Ward: I've been traveling to India since 2005, and I've spent about 17 months in total traveling in India, mostly by myself. I don't think things have changed that much. I've had a few unpleasant incidents -- I was groped in Old Delhi, and followed in Mumbai -- but nothing too extreme or threatening.
Usually, I feel quite safe in India and I find people to be, overall, helpful and friendly. Perhaps people have become a little less impressed by my white skin and blonde hair; I think they are becoming used to foreigners and not as likely to treat me with special deference.
WSJ: Have you had conversations with female travelers who have expressed apprehensions about visiting the country?
Ms. Ward: I network with many female travelers to India online all the time, usually on social media; and also many email me. I think most of them are aware that you have to take special precautions in India because it is a more conservative society; and I think most of them realize that incidents can happen anywhere.India is no more unsafe than anywhere else -- maybe even more safe than a lot of countries. I think a lot of people have the wisdom to recognize there is a lot of media hype and sensationalizing going on these days, and they see through it.
WSJ: What key things are essential for smooth travel for a solo female traveler?
Ms. Ward: Dress modestly; pre-arrange transportation, especially at night; be careful how you relate to men; carry a phone; walk with confidence. Basically, use common sense. Be cautious, but not fearful. If you close yourself down, you will miss what I call the magic ofIndia -- the warmth of the people, the beauty of the culture, the sublime spiritual moments you can experience.

LINCOLN — Vermont State Police "followed the Subway" to a Bristol resident they have charged with burglary in connection with an Aug. 1 break-in at the Lincoln General Store.
Police on Monday cited Josh Mayo, 21, for burglary for allegedly breaking into the Lincoln store through a side window. Once inside, authorities allege he stole around $305 in cash and $330 in cigarettes.
MONTPELIER — The Search and Rescue Strategic Plan Committee pressed forward with its legislative mandate to restructure search and rescue management in Vermont at the second of its five scheduled meetings in Montpelier last Wednesday.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury-area middle- and high-school students will return to classes on Wednesday to find some new teachers and new campus improvements.
Middlebury Union Middle School Interim Principal Patrick Reen anticipates an incoming 2012-2013 class of 311 students for grades 7 and 8. That's the most enrollees at the school since 2007-2008, he noted, and the largest seventh-grade class since 2002-2003.
WEST ADDISON — By definition a survivor is one who endures adverse or unusual circumstances. That is a description that Helen Kahrs, 78, of West Addison, fits perfectly.
First diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2005, and then hit by a second cancer diagnosis five years later, today Kahrs can happily say that she is a true survivor after years of battling cancer.
MIDDLEBURY — A local advisory board has been collecting facts and figures about the sluggish regional economy in an effort to convince the Middlebury business community about the importance of contributing toward a new business development director charged with bringing new jobs to town.

ADDISON COUNTY — The local high school sports season kicks off — literally — with two football games on Friday night. One of the first two teams in action this fall was the last team in action in the fall of 2011.
That would be the Middlebury Union football team, a perennial title contender that reached the Division I championship game a year ago in its return to D-I after two successful seasons in D-II.
Desperate times breed innovative ideas. That's what happened on the job front in the Los Angeles area when two things happened a few years back: after 40-50 years of traffic gridlock, Los Angeles County residents finally voted to pay for the rail lines through the county. The initiative, called Measure R, required support from two-thirds of the voters. It passed with flying colors.

Adventures of the Hokkaido Bush PigBy The Hokkaido Bush Pig
Breaking the Ice
If you plan to hit the trails, but your Japanese won't even get you a beer in a local bar, don't worry; here are a couple of tips from The Pig that might get you a drink in the middle of nowhere.
Pig Tip #1: If you've been here a while, you may have noticed Japanese people love their beer and sake—especially when in comes to hiking. Try packing along some sake or whiskey (or even a couple cans of beer) on your next hiking trip. It's one of the best ways to break the ice and make friends, especially if you can't speak the local language.
I don't know how many times I've been sitting next to another hiker's tent while he or she was doing their best not to make eye contact, even when I say, "Konnichiwa!" I've found, though, when you offer them a drink, a big, surprised smile comes over their faces.
Sometimes this is followed by, in rough English, "You like sake?" and soon they're running for a cup. But be careful what you start; you could be in for a big night. It never stops surprising me how much booze Japanese people can carry on hiking trips.
Pig Tip #2: If you are going to take sake, you can buy 500-ml. and one-liter cartons in any supermarket or convenient store. They're much easier to dispose of than glass.
A few years ago while I was staying in a mountain hut about a three-day trek from anywhere, a guy turned up late with a very large backpack. He pulled out his sleeping bag, a small cooker and a small bag of food. I was blown away when he then produced 12 cans of beer, two large bottles of whiskey, two bottles of sake and a bottle of some mystery beverage. It ended up being a good night.
Don't get be wrong, I'm not saying Japanese are not friendly. To the contrary, some are just shy, especially Hokkaido people. When you get to the top of a peak, you'll often find hikers with a beer in their hand enjoying the view and, more often than not, they will offer you one.
Once, at the start of a two-week trek with a heavy backpack, I was working my way up a very high peak and got to the top to find a couple of guys on a day hike enjoying a beer. Once I had taken off my pack, they came over and offered me one. It was only 11 a.m., and I still had about three-to-four hours left of hiking to my camp site.
After that first beer, they came over and said they were heading back down and offered me four more cans (which I did not refuse). Instead of saving them, I drank all four (to save space in my pack of course; after all, I am the Bush Pig). Big mistake, though, as I ended up falling asleep but, when I awoke, I found a place to pitch my tent. It ended up being a great spot which I still use today. Everything happens for a reason.

Ladies Night at "Downton Abbey"; bonus Bates explainer
Here's the take-home lesson from last night's "Downton" for me: Carson and Lord Grantham need to form an Old Man Grumpus support group, stocked with loads of Scotch. I'm not sure who conducted the bigger snobfest. Though a tad heavy-handed, it was very cool for our writers to point out that elitism knows no bounds: Lords dump on commoners, commoners dump on their kids, the help dump on the new guys, and everyone dumps on prostitutes. Perhaps it's the post-World War I circle of life.
Furthermore, isn't it sweet that Lord G thinks he actually has control over his houseful of gals? Silly rabbit...same goes for Carson vs. Mrs. Hughes. When she swept out the door after NOT being forbidden to acknowledge Ethel, the look on her face as she did so was hilarious.
My Dear Marisa,
I think the lesson is life goes on.
There's dancing downstairs. Daisy may inherit a farm. Ethel is learning to cook. And Lady Mary and Matthew vow never to take each other for granted.
I agree times are a'chang'n and the menfolk, at least those with all the power—Lord Grantham upstairs and Mr. Carson downstairs, don't like it.
And Mr. Bates is getting out of jail, yada yada yada ...Although what did that lawyer say to Mrs. Bates' neighbor to get her to change her story? Again!
Sadly, I'm not finished grieving for Sybil. Branson is so sad. He knows Lord Grantham only tolerated him because of Sybil, and now that he's named the baby Sybil and he wants to raise her, gasp, Catholic, well I think there is little room at Downton for such a sort.
As Grand-mama said "Grieving makes me so terribly tired."
I'm glad you brought up the Catholic issue. Now, perhaps it's because I grew up in a super Catholic town that I found Lord G.'s dismissal of the Papists to be out of line, even for him. Condemning someone's religion is one of those universally rude things that transcend cultural constructs, in my humble opinion. (It's up there with sneering at the food others eat.) I realize that Catholicism wasn't super popular in England, but need we remind Lord. G why the Anglican church became official in the first place? Could one who ascribes to the rules of an institution that was founded so Henry VIII could get a divorce be any more noble than those who believe in the admittedly scary mysticism of the Catholic church?
I loved it when the entire dinner table reminded Lord G. just how many European countries are predominantly Catholic, and then good old Matthew mentions India et al. Fabulous.
As for Branson, his hangdog look finally moved me to sympathy last night BUT as much as I hate to agree with him, I'm with Lord G. on the choice of the baby's name. While it may serve as a reminder of Sybil I to Branson, to me, it casts a shadow of expectation over the baby—it's almost a type-casting, and you KNOW the family is going to immediately start comparing Baby Sybil's manner to her mother's, if only to soothe their grief. To which I say, it's not all about them; young Sybil is her own wee person and it's best to let her thrive as an individual, which is her mother's true legacy.
Dear Marisa,
Catholic schmatholic. I don't wish being raised Catholic in the early part of the 20th century in Ireland on any girl.
But I like that he named the baby Sybil. By the way, how much time has elapsed? That baby looked a good three or four months old.
And what will happen to Thomas? Don't like where that story line is going. Will he be reported to the police? And did anyone really acknowledge being gay or did anyone actually admit they knew someone who was gay back then? Never liked O'Brien, and never liked Thomas for that matter, the pair of conniving twits. But I don't wish being outed by the likes of O'Brien on anyone, even Thomas.
Dear K,
Good call on the baby! What the heck? Clarkson said the baby was small: Baby Sybil was cherubically fabulous!
And don't get me wrong on the religion thing: I'm still recovering from my Catholic upbringing and certainly wouldn't wish the lifetime of guilt it encourages on anyone, either. I just think Lord Grantham could use a little sensitivity training. Nobility does not mean you get a free pass to be a douche, am I right?
Which is why I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the new Cora last night. She was right on with her comments that Lord G. takes more stock in social position than is wise and necessary. I actually cheered when she defied his order to leave Mrs. Crawley's luncheon, which, PS is spectacularly rude once again! We don't just barge into people's homes and hand out the disses! I know Cora seems to be in a more forgiving mood after the Dowager's little show-and-tell with Dr. Clarkson, but Cora would do well to remember that she has rights, too, and that her hubby's word is hardly scripture.
Note: I was kind of annoyed at the Dowager's collaring of Clarkson. Let the man have a little limelight, dammit.
And yeah, O'Brien is essentially encouraging sexual harassment at the least. Not good. I love her zingers, but she seems to have boarded a train to Crazy Town on this one.
Ha! Crazy Town. I wonder how far that is from Downton?
What about all the Downton references this week? Like Sesame Street's "Upside Downton Abbey"—hilarious in only the way the Muppets can be: "Why is my tea pouring up?"
Andy Cohen gave Lord G the "Jackhole of the Week" honor for practically killing Sybil — but this week we know that's sorta not true.
Saturday Night Live did a spoof, too, and The Soup did a parody with RuPaul and drag queens Raven and Shangela.
And then there was FOXnews commentators who dissed the fans because they are watching a show about rich people—I think...
Dear K,
Fox News is just mad it's losing ratings to the "liberal" PBS.
And let's not forget the fun Downton-related shopping items we looked at last week: I WANT that "Keep Calm and Ring Carson for Tea" shirt—because I'm a dork. If you get one, we can be matchies for next season's blog photo!
Googling the RuPaul spoof now. He's fricking gorgeous.
One more question: are you as annoyed as I am that Bates is getting out based on the most bizarre "testimony" ever? I confess I stopped paying close attention to that storyline, but last night's episode sort of vindicated me. Of course, I remain entirely confused as to what the guard's beef is with Bates. I tweeted out a request for someone to explain it to me, and it only got retweeted and favorited, but no explainer. Carol's curious about it too. Any insight? Or, dear readers, do you recall what the heck happened there?
Dear Miss M,
Here's what I remember about Bates, although I think he killed his wife, so my view may be a little skewered:
Bates' cellmate didn't like him because Bates maintained he was innocent and, as prisoners will tell you, everyone on the inside is innocent—and the roommate didn't like his high and mighty attitude.
Then, I think the cellmate is friends with the guard, so they are always trying to help each other out, although what's in it for the guard I'm not quite sure.
The cellmate planted the shiv or drugs or whatever in Bates' bunk, but Bates outsmarted them, so that just made them even more mad.
With not much to do, and that exercise yard being so small and all, I guess all that walking in circles affects the prisoners' brains. Plus there's a lot of time to mess with other people -- a sort of inside entertainment, if you will. I could be way off ....
I want a T-shirt too, but I think it might clash with the fabulous Dowager hat I'm going to get.
'Til next week ...
Lady Wannabe K

If there are requirements in the license (such as attribution) these must be adhered to, for example by attributing the author and source on the file description page.
There are eight standard licensing tags that are provided by default on all newly created communities. These cover both fair and free use images, as well as a few other types of images. The tags are as follows:
- {{PD}}. Public domain. For example, when the author has put the work into the public domain or the author died over 70 years ago.
- {{Fairuse}} - for a copyrighted image which is contended to be fair use.

It's pretty obvious that this week's Green Weenie has to go to Michael Mann for his threatened libel suit against National Review, but since I already manhandled (heh) Mann here a couple days ago, there's no need to high-stick him again (double-heh). I'm sure Mann will win a shelf full of Green Weenies if this suit proceeds, and in any case he's a lock for the eventual Power Line Green Weenie Hall of Fame (Paul Ehrlich will be the first inductee, needless to say).
So how about we do a reverse-green weenie, and salute someone who's most definitely not a Green Weenie? My first selection for the non-green weenie is Roger Scruton. I've mentioned Roger Scruton's fine new book on environmental philosophy for conservatives, How To Think Seriously About the Planet, before, but my recent review of the book in National Review is now half-out from behind the subscriber firewall (it's 50 cents for the whole article, but free if you're an NR digital subscriber), and in the review I have this to say about it:
[H]is new book deserves to be regarded as the most important environmental book of the last 20 years. If the environmental movement takes it seriously, it might find a way out of the dead end into which it has force-marched itself. And conservatives who embrace his rich arguments will find a way of contesting the Left for ownership of environmental issues that doesn't depend on arid and utilitarian cost-benefit arguments or the ritual denunciations of the leftist view. Perhaps the most refreshing aspect of Scruton's book is that it traverses most of the key issues without recourse to the standard clichés of either side. Even when he is taking on the worst of fever-swamp environmental leftism, his critique is all the more devastating for his calm and understated prose.
While I'm on the subject of National Review, I have an article why Paul Ryan is Progressivism's worst nightmare in the new GOP convention issue just out in the last 48 hours from NR. Here's the lede:
Does it seem like the Left's reaction to recent GOP running mates has gone far beyond the norms of election-season partisanship? There's a reason for this: Both Paul Ryan and Sarah Palin represent mortal threats to the core of modern liberalism in a way that Dick Cheney and Dan Quayle (and their respective chiefs) never did, and therefore they have to be crushed by any means necessary. The reason for the vitriolic reaction to Sarah Palin four years ago was simple: She threatened to shatter a pillar of the Left's identity politics by contesting its monopoly on "women's issues." Ryan represents a triple threat. Most obviously, his fiscal plans threaten the Left's entitlement mentality, and his personality and charisma may hive off the youth vote. But the deepest fear is that Ryan will challenge directly the core philosophy of today's so-called progressivism.
But if you're not an NR subscriber, and you weren't up at 6 am eastern time Thursday to hear me on the Bill Bennett show explaining the article, you can download an MP3 file of the first hour of the show right here. (Watch out Hinderaker-Ward Experience! I'm breathing down your neck.)

Hi Ashleigh, thanks for the friend request ;)
It's true that in comparison to most other sites, the crazy is pretty thinly spread here, but I still think there's some irrational ideas floating around and I try to pay attention to those. Just because we're all atheists should not mean we blindly accept everything anti-religious as automatically true.
Kind regards,
Hi Ashleigh, and welcome to Atheist Nexus----a friendly rational haven from the irrational superstitions and fictional god of the masses.
We invite you to make good friends by joining the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with its 400 discussion topics and 2400 members.

Software Engineer Reviews
Q: What is it like working as a Software Engineer?
Software Engineer in Boise:
"Unstable and unappreciated."
Pros: I like working with my peers. They are good hardworking professionals.
Cons: The company is poorly managed and it does not appreciate it's people. Employees are considered a disposible commodity, purchased and discarded based on the needs of the moment.
Software Engineer in Colorado Springs:
Pros: I enjoy working on big projects.
Cons: I still don't know my place in the job.
Software Engineer in Seattle:
"Very rewarding, engrossing work."
Pros: Software engineers get the frequent satisfaction of fixing something and getting to see the effect of that fix. It's nearly instant gratification sometimes, which can be very satisfying. Also you learn a lot of skills you can use in your everyday life to make things work better.
Cons: A lot of sitting at a computer, so you might feel very drained and foggy at the end of the day. You also need to deal with very large, complex systems, where sometimes the difficulty isn't as much conceptual, as simply understanding what other people were trying to convey with their code.
Software Engineer in Soledad:
Pros: I really enjoy learning and meeting new people.
Cons: I don't like that it is so far away and had a small pay.
Software Engineer in Hyderabad:
Pros: I like the work culture of our company.
Cons: The language they speak won't match.
Software Engineer in Atlanta:
"Flexible work, Very high stress, Great office and coworkers."
Pros: Production Support Engineers job. Offers a lot of potential for the future. Good flexibility, Great coworkers.
Cons: Very high stress. Low pay. Very critical job that doesn't permit misses without compensation when doing great. Absolutely no motivation from the employer.
Software Engineer in East Hanover:
Pros: Learning is there.
Cons: Work and Life balance is not that good.

Doesn't this palette just call out your name? That is what it is doing for me… just imagine the possibilities. To celebrate Bobbi Brown's 20th anniversary, this 20th Anniversary Lip Palette was created. The palette features Bobbi's original ten lipstick shades as well as ten new bright, modern wearable shades that show how Bobbi Brown has evolved over the years.
It all started back in 1991. Bobbi was discouraged but the lack of flattering lip colors that were available, so she created her own. Her initial ten shades had a brown base, which was in her opinion the most natural complement to a woman's skin tone. After a small editorial mention in a magazine, Bobbi was soon taking countless phone orders from her home and it wasn't long before she caught the attention of Bergdorf Goodman, which ultimately launched her collection. Bobbi hoped that she would sell 100 lipsticks in her first month at the store—and she ended up selling them in just one day.
Here are the shades in this collection:
1991 Colors
- Salmon
- Beige
- Raisin
- Brown
- Rose
- Pink
- Orange
- Blackberry
- Burnt Red
- Red
2011 Exclusive Colors
- Coral Gables
- Lady Ruba
- Berry Punch
- Hot Berry
- Watermelon
- Atomic Pink
- Party Pink
- Cosmic Lily
- Pink Martini
- Candied Red
This palette retails for $60. It is available now on Bobbi's website and will be hitting Bobbi counters everywhere in October. Are you onboard the 20th Anniversary Lip Palette train?

A glorious summer day is an invitation to be outside for hours on end—but constant swatting, slapping, and scratching from a mosquito attack can ruin even the best days. Not to mention mosquitoes can also carry dangerous diseases like West Nile Virus. Studies have shown certain factors make some people more prone to bites than others, including being pregnant, having an elevated body temperature, or having Type O blood, but just about everyone suffers a bite now and then.
If you're convinced that you just have sweeter blood than everyone else, follow these simple rules to keep mosquitoes from bugging you:
Choose chemical-free repellents
The easiest way to banish bugs is with repellent, but you don't want to douse yourself with DEET every day, do you? Safer alternatives include oil of lemon eucalyptus, a major mosquito enemy. Try Intelligent Nutrients Organic Bug Repellent Solution, which uses oils to ward off bites ($26.50, rodales.com).
MORE: 8 Plants That Repel Mosquitoes Naturally
Time your outings
Stay indoors during dusk and dawn—that's when many breeds of mosquito are at their peak biting time. You can see the sunrise just fine from your window.
Toss the kiddie pool
Mosquitoes love to breed in standing water, so make sure to clean out the pool often. And watch your back (and front, and sides) near any ponds or lakes.
Wear white
Dark colors attract the bugs like no other—supposedly because they look like the dark fur of animals they normally prey on. Wear light, bright colors to make yourself less attractive to feeders.
MORE: Why Mosquitoes Love To Feast On Your Particular Blood
Rethink the perfume
Sure, it's nice to smell like a rosebush, but at the price of dozens of bites? Mosquitoes love nectar from flowers almost as much as they do humans, so stick with a less floral fragrance for the summer or skip it altogether.
Steer clear of beer
Mosquitoes have been shown to prefer beer drinkers over those who drink water. It's not confirmed if the extra biting also happens with other alcohols—but just to be safe, keep the bottles indoors.

My biggest problem with > using RHN has been the strong lack of deployments it's had.. A lot of We looked at it pretty seriously at Duke -- RH is a short walk away, we've had a long and productive relationship with them, and they were offering us a "deal" on their RHN supported product. The problem (and the likely reason for the strong lack of deployment) is the cost scaling and minimum buy-in. Frankly, if they gave it away free the server requirements are kind of crazy, given the number of machines we run on campus (and the fact that we manage it now, quite successfully, on a shoestring and a mix/choice of Centos and FC2). I think that RHN's major advantage to consumers is topdown network management in corporate environments where the costs of this sort of management tool are swallowed in the greater TCO issues of running a major data center (and where local sysadmin competence is likely to be "red hat certified systems engineers" who've gone through their training and are roughly as deep-roots hapless as their MCSE counterparts tend to be). That is, they know how to use RH's GUI tools, but they really don't UNDERSTAND that much about the systems they manage. For a corporation who just wants it to work and considers spending $100K on this and that so it works with the human resources they have available to be petty cash, that's fine. In the University/Research world, resources tend to be tight, expertise levels are relatively high, and there is even opportunity cost labor in the expert labor pools that can be diverted to learning how to do something really cheaply AND really well. That's why you have Debian clusters, ROCKS clusters, RH/FC/Centos clusters, SuSE clusters, Mandrake clusters, Warewulf clusters, Clustermatic clusters -- all largely "homebrew" at the administrative level (although the cluster-specific projects can get pretty fancy wrapping up the brew;-) -- that avoid using a) anything that you have to pay for if possible; b) anything that you have to pay a LOT for period; c) anything that doesn't scale. Yum requires more investment of effort at the beginning to learn it, as it is a real, command line sysadmin tool and yes, you'll need to read the documentation (some of which I wrote:-), work with it, play with it, figure out how to make it jump through hoops, and ultimately realize that it is REALLY powerful. Designed by sysadmins, for sysadmins. Designed and maintained by people who use it every day in large scale deployments in resource starved institutions. That sort of thing. Like all GUI tools vs command line tools, there is the usual "learn to use it in a day, pay for using it forever" that plagues the user of any windowing interface that actually has to manipulate large numbers of files and complex relationships (GUIs are all about simplicity, but not everything is "simple"). So Duke has at least for the moment tabled the RHN issue until there is a clear and burning need for it that justifies the cost, including the cost of diverting our human resources AWAY from using a tool that manifestly scales better once it is mastered. > people just naturally assume redhat is bad (hell, I even do. I use debian > for all of my personal and corporate servers).. But very few who > automatically take that stance have actually worked with the products > enough to give emperical evidence as to why. I love RH. I used to pay them money for their OS distro every major release voluntarily, until they went hypercommercial. Now I use FC2 and may migrate even further away. RH's pricing model is purely corporate. I just don't think they've grokked either the university or the personal or the HPC cluster market, or maybe they have and just don't care. rgb > > It took a while to gather enthusiasm enough to evaluate it, and a couple > of months of solid testing before I could recommend it.

Sure, I agree. Although it needn't take THAT long to do with yum and the cluster shell of your choice. Versioning is currently done fairly casually, or outside yum itself. There is no point and click package selector (although any editor works just fine). However, you can buy an awful lot of FTE minutes for hundreds of dollars a seat plus thousands for servers, and clusters typically DON'T change often, or much, once their prototypes are completed and debugged. > In the end, it's probably just an apples/oranges comparison.. in a science > lab/school cluster environment, it's probably more a more valuable place > to use a more manual process because grad students are cheap, and interns > are free.. :) In a corporate world, the $28k i'd spend for a 100 server > environment to save a sysadmin's worth of time, pays for itself 10 fold in > terms of environment consistency.. For servers, especially heterogenous servers, it might be worth it. If by "servers" you mean identical nodes (server or otherwise) I'd say this is a waste of money. In HPC it is the latter. In a lot of corporate environments, it is a mix of mostly the latter and some of the former. But I totally agree, the tool is designed for that kind of environment -- structurally complex and deep pocketed. > Either way, I'm not trying to evangelize, just relate my own experiences, > and try to find the best solution for a given problem.

You have to work to convince me that spending order of 20% of the nodes you might be able to buy in a compute cluster on RHN will get more work done per total dollar invested, in most HPC cluster environments, compared to any of a number of GPL free alternatives (many of which have further benefits to their use anyway). rgb > > > > > > > > > On Wed, 13 Oct 2004, Michael T.

George Clooney had Vancouver social media users buzzing after a fan tweeted a picture of him out on the town on Friday.
YOU GUYS LOOK pic.twitter.com/Ik0p9Gihqe— Susan (@Hamhuishipcheck) September 14, 2013
Twitter user @hamhuishipcheck snapped a photo of the "Syriana" star sitting at the bar at Joey's on Burrard. She conveyed her excitement in a series of subsequent tweets.
Funniest thing from last night. I was like Lord give me a hot guy to look at in this bar next thing George fucking CLOONEY walks in! NO LIES— Susan (@Hamhuishipcheck) September 14, 2013
@hosea24hours lol I was so excited hahaha! He was super nice— Susan (@Hamhuishipcheck) September 14, 2013
Clooney is in Vancouver filming "Tomorrowland," a big-budget Disney picture about a teenage girl, a middle-aged man and a robot trying to unravel what happened to a fantastical world that exists in another dimension, Virgin Radio 95.3 reported.
Vancouver isn't the only place that's gotten excited about Clooney's arrival. "Tomorrowland" also filmed in the Okanagan and had the area's residents issue a "Wanted" poster for the Hollywood superstar, according to Castanet.
Check out what Twitter users had to say about the George Clooney sighting in Vancouver:

Me: my health insurance broker called me skinny today.
Serena: nice!
Me: but it was over the phone. and I lied about my weight. soooo……
Serena: omg. that is really funny. I mean….they asked me my weight and height before they gave me my IV. and I lied about my weight.
Me: oh good.
Serena: but, then I was like NO I LIED because I didn't want them to not give me enough and it wouldn't work!
Me: how much did you lie about?
Serena: 5 lbs. it was embarrassing
Me: I lied by 7.
Me: ok I just lied again. it was 9
Serena: that's a lot

SHELTON — An 80-foot Norway spruce is joining thousands of other Connecticut commuters as it heads to work in midtown Manhattan.
For the second time in six years, the city of Shelton is sending a Christmas tree to New York City's Rockefeller Center for the annual holiday display. Workers are expected to cut the tree down Thursday and send it on its way by tractor-trailer to New York City, 70 miles away.
Police are guarding the spruce until tree-cutters arrive.
Mayor Mark Lauretti says furnishing Rockefeller Center with a tree is a big deal for Shelton, which calls itself "the best affordable suburb in Connecticut."
The tree-lighting ceremony is scheduled for Dec. 4. The tree will remain on display until Jan. 7.
Rockefeller Center has displayed Christmas trees since 1931.

Spring Rolls- Vegan Lunchbox Style
Today I'd like to blog about a meal we had last night that came from a fellow blogger's recently published cookbook- Jennifershmoo's Vegan Lunch Box. I've read Jennifer's blog for ages now, and I was always impressed by the creative vegan lunches she made for her son. Her lunches were not only visually appealing and fun, but looked delicious as well. After she came out with a cookbook, I was curious, but didn't know how applicable it would be to my gluten free life. When I broke down and purchased a copy, I was really glad I did. The book is much thicker than it looks in the photos, and has tons of great recipes that you can put together into a delicious vegan lunch. Perhaps the best part is the Allergen-Free index where she lists all the gluten free recipes, as well as nut free, soy free recipes. I was inspired by her recipe for broccoli Calzones to create the Calzones in my last post, but the first full recipe I tried from the book was the "Tofu Apple Spring Roll" on page 226. The recipe intrigued me because it called for marinated, baked tofu, crisp sliced green apples, and shredded napa cabbage. I always put seasoned tofu in my spring rolls- but I had never thought of adding any fruit besides avocado. I also made the accompanying peanut sauce, which is easy to make and absolutely delicious! She has selected recipes from the cookbook available online, but the recipe I used can only be found in the cookbook. I used mint leaves instead of cilantro and added rice noodles to make the dish more filling, as I didn't plan to add any side dishes to the meal. DH gave a huge thumbs up- and his only request was- MORE APPLES! Oh, that and he'd really rather I leave the mint out. (Not that he'd rather have cilantro, heaven forbid.) He also really enjoyed the peanut sauce. I think it was the sesame oil that won him over… shhh… Now it must be admitted, there are some recipes in this book that do not work for the gluten free diet, such as Cornish Pastries, which call for seitan "meat" and vegemite, and some of the baked goods.
