How To Take Care of Your Lingerie
POSH MX lingerie is priced affordably without compromising on quality. Many of the garments are made from fine, sheer fabrics that feel smooth and sensual against the skin.
We recommend that most lingerie should be hand-washed to to make them last longer. Combine your similarly colored lingerie in a sink of warm water, and add a delicate wash that's specially formulated for lingerie (such as Forever New). Swish around a few times, rinse with cool water, gently squeeze and then lay flat to dry. The best way to dry your lingerie is to always lay your lingerie flat to avoid stretching out the material. Do NOT throw your lingerie in the washing machine.
If you must use a washing machine, there are four important rules: 1) use a gentle cycle, with warm (never hot) water. 2) Put your lingerie in a lingerie bag to ensure they don't get snagged or twisted. 3) Use the same delicate lingerie wash (such as Forever New). 4) Never, ever use the dryer.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Robinson Cano gave the New York Yankees yet another injury scare.
The sweet-swinging second baseman hobbled off the field soon after being hit on the right leg by a pitch from Mets ace Matt Harvey in the first inning of the All-Star game Tuesday night.
X-rays were negative, and Cano said it was a bruised quadriceps.
"It's a little tight, I came out of the game because I didn't want to aggravate it," he said. "Nothing bad. They told me it's a bruise, and ice the next few days."
His leg wrapped near the knee, Cano said Yankees trainer Steve Donahue was called immediately.
When asked if he'll play Friday in the opener of a series at Boston, Cano said, "Yeah, hopefully, yeah."
The five-time All-Star was hit by a 96 mph fastball from Harvey. NL catcher Yadier Molina wrapped his arm around Cano, just in case. Always cool, Cano blew a bubble as he was checked out by the trainers. He then went to first base but, following a strikeout by Miguel Cabrera, Cano limped slowly across the infield in his shiny shoes and heard from Harvey.
"He said 'My bad,'" Cano said. "I said, 'No problem.' He didn't want to hit anybody."
Harvey told FOX after he finished two innings: "I tried to go in. That sometimes happens. My apologies definitely go out to him."
Even in an exhibition, injuries are a risk. Most famously, catcher Ray Fosse's career was interrupted when he was bowled over in a play at the plate by Pete Rose.
Boston's Dustin Pedroia ran for Cano and remained in the game.
It's almost fitting that Cano was injured in the Midsummer Classic. Jay-Z's first sports client had been the steady star in a Yankees lineup ravaged by injuries to their expensive stars.
While Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson, Kevin Youkilis and Mark Teixeira all have missed significant time in the first half of the season, the AL Home Run Derby captain racked up a team-leading 21 homers and 65 RBIs, hitting .302.
"Well, that never went through my mind," Cano said. "My mind was not something like bad, that you can miss some of the season's game."
All-Stars often dress quickly and leave after they come out, but Cano had good reason to stick around — at least that was his plan.
"Just (to) watch Mariano," Cano said of Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, in his final All-Star game.
In a couple of quirky coincidences, Cano's No. 24 was in the spotlight long after he was off receiving treatment.
First, a child wearing a Cano pinstriped jersey was nearly hit by Miguel Cabrera's flying bat. Cabrera sent the bat twirling into the stands flailing at a strike.
Then a little later, a fan ran onto the field and was tackled by security. Yup, he was wearing a navy blue t-shirt with "Cano" on the back.

Gauchos Torching Opponents
The UC Santa Barbara women's tennis team has torched six of its last seven opponents, improving its overall record to 10-4 on the season. In that span, the Gauchos have knocked off three Big West foes. On Feb. 28, the UCSB women swept San Jose State, 7-0, and three days later they took apart Cal State Northridge, 5-2. In their latest match, the Gauchos rolled over Cal State Fullerton on Feb. 15, 7-0. At home, UCSB is an astonishing 8-2 at home and have not lost here since Feb. 22 to UC Irvine. Now, the Gauchos will need to keep their focus at home as they take on two Ivy League teams in Dartmouth and Harvard.
Darmouth rests at 4-3 on the season, but is currently riding a four match winning streak. Since Feb. 25, the Big Green has taken down University of Massachusetts, Quinnipiac University and most recently, Temple. The Ivy League school bolsters a top doubles team in the nation in Molly Scott and Mary Winingham. The pair is currently 6-1 on the season, only falling to No. 42 Wake Forest's top team, 8-5. The Big Green will take on Cal Poly before they travel south to meet with Santa Barbara on Sunday.
Another one of Ivy League's elite has yet to shine on the tennis courts, tallying a 4-6 record on the season. On the road, Harvard is a lowly 2-4, dropping matches to Florida International, Cornell and Dartmouth. Crimson will make their first and only trip out to the west coast, preparing for San Diego State, Santa Clara and Cal State Northridge after clashing with Santa Barbara on Monday.
Gauchos on Fire
Bryanna Ojeda is one of the few Gauchos that has been lighting it up as of late. In her last seven matches she has tallied a 5-1 singles record. However, coach Kirkwood recently moved Ojeda up one slot where she registered her first victory at No. 5. In doubles, she gets better, registering a perfect 7-0 record playing with Asagi Onaga and Ratchaya Chaichanachaicharn. In the season so far, Ojeda has racked up a 9-2 dual match record. The only Gaucho to outperform the native from Bakersfield is Sofia Novak with an outstanding 11-2 dual match record. Playing exclusively at the No. 3 slot in singles, Novak has topped the charts with a 6-1 singles record in her last seven chances. In doubles, she has moved into the No. 2 slot playing with Michelle Murphy. Since the switch, the pair has registered a 5-2 doubles record helping the Gauchos take the ever-so-important doubles point.
--- In its on-going effort to draw awareness to breast cancer and to promote its research, the UCSB Athletics Department will sponsor "Pink Week" at three of its athletics events on Mar. 28, 2009.
Three UCSB intercollegiate events, scheduled for Saturday, Mar. 28, have been designated "Pink Week Games." The women's tennis match, slated for 11:00 a.m. on the Robertson Gymnasium Courts, a softball doubleheader scheduled to start at 12:00 p.m. on Campus Diamond, and a 12:00 p.m. women's water polo match at Campus Pool will all be part of the effort.

United Nations Biodiversity Conference mobilises resources for biodiversity protection
The world's governments have agreed to increase funding in support of actions to halt the rate of loss of biodiversity at the eleventh meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, which ended on 20 October 2012. Other key outcomes include special attention for biodiversity-rich marine areas.
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) was inspired by the world community's growing commitment to sustainable development. It represents a dramatic step forward in the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources. As biodiversity declines, so too does the resilience of our ecosystems, which have been dramatically transformed as a result of human action.
Biodiversity is crucial to human life and to the reduction of poverty. Our well-being depends on biodiversity and on basic ecosystems goods and services, and they provide the livelihoods of more than 1.3 billion people.
UNESCO works closely with the CBD, as several of its programmes and activities contribute to elucidating substantive aspects of the biodiversity problems and to identifying appropriate solutions to reducing biodiversity erosion and loss.
Increased resources for biodiversity protection by 2015
Developed countries agreed at the conference to increase funding to support efforts in developing states towards meeting the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, effectively doubling biodiversity-related international financial flows by 2015.
These internationally-agreed Biodiversity Targets and Strategic Goals form the structure of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020. UNESCO's programme of work contributes directly and indirectly to meeting these goals, by:
- Addressing the underlying causes of biodiversity loss and reducing direct pressures through its work in education and culture,
- Improving the status of biodiversity through field-based actions on conservation and sustainable and equitable use of biodiversity, particularly in UNESCO Biosphere Reserves and World Heritage Sites but also through its work in Marine Spatial Planning and initiatives such as the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS),
- Enhancing participatory planning and knowledge management through its work with local and indigenous communities, in ecological sciences and on the co-production of knowledge.
UNESCO is also part of the Task Force monitoring progress in their implementation.
Protecting marine biodiversity
The series of agreements made during the Conference on oceans and coasts builds on the commitment of countries made at the United Nations Rio+20 summit in June to protect and restore marine ecosystems and to maintain their biodiversity. Marine areas are to receive special attention by governments as part of renewed efforts to meet the Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 of ensuring that 10% of marine areas are protected by 2020.
The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (UNESCO/IOC) is providing scientific and technical advice to the Parties to the CBD to support their marine spatial planning efforts and to define Ecologically or Biologically Significant marine Areas (EBSAs). UNESCO-IOC's Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS), the largest online system for absorbing, integrating, and accessing data about life in the ocean, provides one of the best available data sources on marine biodiversity for policy-makers and environmental managers, and contributed in particular to the identification of EBSAs in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Ocean (additional workshops are planned to cover other parts of the World). During the Conference, the 193 Parties to the CBD agreed to classify a diverse list of marine areas as ecologically or biologically significant. Among the areas mentioned, some are renowned for containing 'hidden treasures' of the plant and animal world, such as the Saragasso Sea, the Tonga archipelago and key corals sites off the coast of Brazil.
Parties to the Convention recognized the growing challenge of climate change impacts on coral reefs, which will require significant investment to overcome. UNESCO/IOC contributes to our understanding of the impact of climate change and ocean acidification on marine biodiversity and ecosystems through the International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project and the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS).
Promoting indigenous knowledge and practices for the sustainable use of biodiversity
The Conference recognized that the involvement of local communities has been limited and urged Parties and partners to support indigenous and local communities and ensure their participation in national and international dialogues regarding biodiversity use, conservation and management.
In a closing statement, the International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity (IIFB), which includes representatives of indigenous peoples and local communities, approved of the new programme of work on the customary use of biological resources (10c), saying that it 'will make important contributions towards addressing marginalization and widespread poverty in our communities'. IIFB also stressed that 'Parties must work harder to reverse policies and practices that harm indigenous peoples and local communities in Protected Areas, especially in coastal and marine areas. Coastal and marine management by indigenous communities and artisanal fisherfolk will be central to the success of the CBD.' As part of the 40th anniversary of UNESCO's World Heritage Convention, the Danish Agency for Culture, the Government of Greenland and the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA) recently organised an international expert workshop to enable a constructive dialogue on issues related to indigenous peoples and Protected Areas.
UNESCO and the CBD Secretariat organized a side event to provide an update on recent efforts to bring indigenous and local knowledge into scientific assessment processes. The event included presentations by indigenous peoples of case studies where community-based knowledge complements and advances current scientific understandings, while sustaining cultural integrity and fulfilling local needs. A set of good practices such as these will be compiled as a resource for stakeholders for the implementation of Article 8(j) of the CBD*. At a second side event, UNESCO and the Secretariat of the CBD provided an update on their joint programme of work on biological diversity and cultural diversity.
Science-policy interface for biodiversity
The Conference welcomed the establishment of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) earlier this year and recognized the potential contribution it could make to enhance the effectiveness of the Convention. Co-sponsored by UNESCO, IPBES is an interface between the scientific community and policy makers that aims to build capacity for and strengthen the use of science in policy making. It will contribute towards the achievement of Aichi Biodiversity Target 19: 'By 2020, knowledge, the science base and technologies relating to biodiversity, its values, functioning, status and trends, and the consequences of its loss, are improved, widely shared and transferred, and applied.'
* Convention on Biological Diversity
Article 8. In situ Conservation
Each Contracting Party shall, as far as possible and as appropriate:
(j) Subject to its national legislation, respect, preserve and maintain knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities embodying traditional lifestyles relevant for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity and promote their wider application with the approval and involvement of the holders of such knowledge, innovations and practices and encourage the equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the utilization of such knowledge, innovations and practices;

A few pounds lost could save your heart, mind
Obesity and being overweight is more than just an aesthetic issue or inconvenience. It�s a health hazard.
February is Heart Healthy Month, and heart disease includes high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, heart attack, congestive heart failure and congenital heart disease and is the leading cause of death in America and the world, according to the Cardiovascular Heart Foundation.
Obesity is a major risk factor for a number of conditions, including heart problems, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, some types of cancer, arthritis, asthma and disabilities, said Dr. Shyamal K. Mitra, a cardiologist and obesity and sleep medicine specialist with Kinston Medical Specialists.
Obesity also increases risk of dementia in women, particularly post-menopausal women in their 60s and 70s.
Mitra will be speaking on the connectivity of obesity and overweight to health, particularly the heart and brain, from noon to 1 p.m. Friday in the Lenoir Memorial Hospital auditorium.
�My primary focus is prevention,� he said.
The good news is the risks for these conditions are reduced by losing weight.
In fact, studies show that even losing 5 percent to 10 percent of body weight can reduce the risks, Mitra said.
A person can get an indication of body fat by measuring the body mass index � a formula of measuring weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, he said.
�Anything over a BMI of 30 is obese,� Mitra said.
Eastern North Carolina has a high incidence of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease, according to health officials.
�A lot of studies show that exercise and diet delay the onset of diabetes and high blood pressure,� Mitra said. �And they reduce the risk of heart attacks.�
He recommends at least 40 minutes of brisk walking every day.
�But any exercise will do you some good,� he said.
He suggests following the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute�s DASH diet, which emphasizes eating more fruits, vegetables, lean protein and whole grains, and less fat and sugar.
Many people know they need a full eight hours of sleep, but most people are only getting six hours of sleep, on average, Mitra said. The main causes are watching television and too much stress.
Mitra suggests �taking everything into the right perspective.� He said studies have shown that exercise, having a dog and doing yoga chanting and slow breathing techniques, meditation and prayer reduce stress.

This tutorial assumes you've completed the Hello World tutorial and have a working helloworld project. The example code for this tutorial, using_tags, is available for checkout from the Struts 2 GitHub repository at https://github.com/apache/struts-examples. The example projects use Maven to manage the artifact dependencies and to build the .war files.
In the Hello World lesson, we added to the index.jsp a Struts 2 url tag to create a hyperlink to the hello.action. This tutorial will explore the url and other Struts 2 tags further.
Web applications differ from conventional websites in that web applications can create a dynamic response. To make it easier to reference dynamic data from a page, the Struts 2 framework offers a set of tags. Some of the tags mimic standard HTML tag while providing added value. Other tags create non-standard, but useful controls.
To use the Struts 2 tags on the view page, you must include a tag library directive. Typically, the taglib directive is
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>. So the prefix for all the Struts 2 tags will be "s".
If you want to actually read the Struts 2 tag TLD file, you'll find it in the META-INF folder of the Struts 2 core jar.
Struts 2 url Tag
One use of the Struts 2 Tags is to create links to other web resources, especially to other resources in the local application.
While HTML provides a simple
a tag for creating hyperlinks, the HTML tag often requires us to include redundant information. Also the HTML tag cannot easily access dynamic data provided by the framework.
A very common use case in web applications is linking to other pages. In the Hello World tutorial we added to index.jsp a link to the hello.action using the Struts 2 url tag. Please refer to the url documentation for more information about the url tag.
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%> <%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <title>Basic Struts 2 Application - Welcome</title>
Welcome To Struts 2!

<a href="<s:url action='hello'/>">Hello World

When you run the Hello World tutorial in your Servlet container and then mouse over the Hello World hyperlink created by the Struts 2 url tag you'll see that the URL created is hello.action (relative to the web context's root folder).
Examine the struts.xml configuration in the Hello World tutorial and you will find this:
... <action name="hello" class="org.apache.struts.helloworld.action.HelloWorldAction" method="execute"> <result name="success">/HelloWorld.jsp</result> </action> ...
The action node above maps the hello.action to the execute method of class HelloWorldAction. If the execute method returns success, the view page HelloWorld.jsp (in web context root folder) will be returned to the user.
A common use case is that the URL also needs to include a value for a query string parameter such as userName. To add a query string parameter and its value use the Struts 2 param tag, nested inside the url tag.
For the Using Tags tutorial add the following to index.jsp just after the link for Hello World.
<s:url action="hello" var="helloLink"> <s:param name="userName">Bruce Phillips</s:param> </s:url>
Hello Bruce Phillips

Rather then put the url tag as the value for the anchor tag's href attribute, we've separated out the s:url tag into its own code block. Nested inside the url tag is the Struts 2 param tag. This tag lets you specify a parameter name (e.g. userName) and a value for that paramter (e.g. Bruce Phillips).
Notice the use of the var attribute. The value of the var attribute is a reference we can use later in our code to refer to the url created.
Examine the anchor tag above. Notice the value of the href attribute is ${helloLink}. The view page will substitute the hyperlink we created using the url tag for the ${helloLink} reference. Note that the query string parameter will be properly URL-encoded (Bruce+Phillips).
In the next tutorial we'll cover how Struts can access the query string parameter value.
Struts 2 Form Tags
Most applications will use several data entry forms. The Struts 2 tags make creating input forms easy. Consult the Form Tags Reference for all the details about the Struts 2 form tags.
Each of the Struts 2 form tags has numerous attributes to mimic the normal HTML form tag attributes.
To create the outer shell of the form, use the Struts 2 form tag. The action attribute sets the action name to submit to.
Add the following markup to index.jsp after the Hello Bruce Phillips link.

Get your own personal hello by filling out and submitting this form.
 <s:form action="hello"> <s:textfield name="userName" label="Your name" /> <s:submit value="Submit" /> </s:form>
The Struts 2 textfield tag provides a input html tag of tag text and the submit tag creates a submit button. When the index page is return by the server to the browser you should see:
The Struts form, textfield, and submit tags were converted to this HTML.
<form id="hello" name="hello" action="/Using_Tags_Struts2_Mvn/hello.action;jsessionid=3471d76027b5342cab44f297b567" method="post">

 Your name:	 <input type="text" name="userName" value="" id="hello_userName"/>

<input type="submit" id="hello_0" value="Submit"/>

 </form>
Note how Struts 2 created a table inside the form to position the form elements. In later tutorials you'll learn how to specify the layout (table, CSS). The Struts 2 textfield tag created an HTML input tag of type text with a name value that matches the name value of the textfield tag. Struts 2 also created a label HTML tag based on the label value of the textfield tag.
In the next tutorial we'll cover how to use Struts 2 to process this form submission.
Struts 2 property tag
In the Hello World tutorial's example application on JSP HelloWorld.jsp was this code:
<s:property value="messageStore.message" />
The most common use of the property tag is used to "get" the value returned by calling a public get method (of the Action class) and then to include that value in the HTML returned to the browser.
As discussed in the Hello World tutorial, the value of "messageStore.message" instructs Struts 2 to first call method getMessageStore of the Action class. That method call returns a MessageStore object. The ".message" part instructs Struts 2 to call the getMessage method of the MessageStore object. The getMessage method returns a String which will be included in the HTML returned to the browser.
One very useful feature of the Struts 2 property tag is that it will automatically convert the most common data types (int, double, boolean) to their String equivalents. To demonstrate this feature let's add a static int variable to class HelloWorldAction.
private static int helloCount = 0; public int getHelloCount() { return helloCount; } public void setHelloCount(int helloCount) { HelloWorldAction.helloCount = helloCount; }
Each time the execute method is called we'll increase helloCount by 1. So add this code to the execute method of class HelloWorldAction.
Whenever a user clicks one of the links on page index.jsp (or submits the form), method execute of class HelloWorldAction will be run and the static field helloCount will be increased by one.
To include the value of the helloCount attribute in the HelloWorld.jsp we can use the Struts 2 property tag. Add the following to HelloWorld.jsp after the h2 tag.

I've said hello <s:property value="helloCount" /> times!

So even though the getHelloCount method returns an integer type, Struts 2 converted it to type String and placed it into the body of the p tag.
Note that even though helloCount is a static field, the get and set methods for helloCount are not static. For Struts 2 to call the getHelloCount method to get the value of helloCount, the getHelloCount method cannot be static.
If the value returned by the get method is an object, then the property tag will cause Struts 2 to call the object's toString method. Of course, you should always override Class Object's toString method in your model classes. Add the following toString method to the MessageStore class:
public String toString() { return message + " (from toString)"; }
Add the following to HelloWorld.jsp

<s:property value="messageStore" />

Since getMessageStore of HelloWorldAction class returns a MessageStore object, Struts 2 will call the toString method of class MessageStore. The string returned by that toString method will be displayed in the browser.
We covered a lot in this tutorial, but we've really only scratched the surface of how to use the Struts 2 tags. Consult the Struts 2 Tag Reference for much more information about all the Struts 2 tags.

I had some problems with the var attribute to the TLD was invalid.
<s:url action="hello" var="helloLink">
<s:param name="userName">Bruce Phillips</s:param>

Hello Bruce Phillips

I made some changes and do it well:
<s:url action="hello" id="helloLink">
<s:param name="userName">Bruce Phillips</s:param>

<a href="<s:property value="%
{*}{helloLink}{*}"/>">Hello Bruce Phillips

Use maven2 for my project.
I hope someone helps.
Please see: http://struts.apache.org/188.8.131.52/docs/url.html
The id attribute is deprecated and you should use the var attribute.
The ${helloLink} works if your Servlet container is JSP 2.0 compliant.
Make sure the dependency for struts in your pom.xml is getting the current version.
See the pom.xml in this tutorial's example application which was tested using Jetty 6, Tomcat 6, and Glassfish 3
"On very useful feature" should be "One very useful feature"
Updated, thanks!

Do Politics-Themed Google Searches Predict Stock Activity?
A report suggests that stepped-up Google searching for terms relating to politics points to a lower market
Wondering if the market is in for a tumble? If you find yourself Googling a lot of political and financial terms, it may well be.
In the past, trends in Google searching have been shown to predict flu outbreaks, unemployment rates and the success of movies at the box office. There was even evidence that financially oriented searches—of Google and Wikipedia—could predict stock market movements.

Amanda Palmer And OK Go Get Together To Celebrate Being Dropped From Their Record Labels
from the party-time deptRecently, we've noted some similarities between Amanda Palmer and the band OK Go, in that both had been signed to major record label deals, both had built up an amazing (and amazingly loyal) group of fans through various means (different for each) using methods totally outside of their major label marketing effort (which was somewhat lacking in both cases)... and last month, both were officially dropped from their label deals.
In the past, getting dropped from a major record label deal was seen as a bad thing -- a sign of trouble for the band. But in both of these cases, the process of getting dropped was initiated by the musicians themselves, who realized they could do much more outside of the major label system, than within it. So it seemed like a bit of serendipity, that both acts had aspects of their ongoing tours overlap in San Francisco this week -- leading to an event put together by Creative Allies at the Ex'pression College for the Digital Arts, where both acts performed and did some chatting about music and the music business as part of a webcast. Thanks to Amanda, I was able to attend in person with a small group of folks in the studio, and it was a fun time -- as both acts basically celebrated their freedom from their record label deals.
You can see the webcast in two parts below (not sure why it's two parts, and it was not easy at all to find the second part):
It's yet another reminder of how the role of the major labels is totally changing. Historically, the only way to be successful in the music business was to get a major label deal. They were the gatekeepers, and without a deal, you were out of luck. Being dropped from a major was effectively the end of your career as a performer with a very small number of exceptions. But, these days, artists are realizing that there's so much more that can be done without major label help, and that actually being on a major can hinder or block those opportunities, that it's become a cause for celebration when you get "dropped" -- or, perhaps, more accurately, freed!
While there's plenty of music, there were two key points on the whole business model side of things that came up that are worth repeating (in case you don't feel like watching both videos -- though, you should, since they're pretty cool). The first is that during the interview session between acts, Amanda was asked about "direct to fan" stuff, and she made a point that I've been trying (perhaps unsuccessfully) to highlight for quite some time: and that's that each act needs to do something that fits with what works for them. Her fear is that there's so much talk about "direct-to-fan" offerings, that people are going to start just trying to all do exactly the same thing, rather than charting a course that's unique to them.
We've tried to point this out as well, in noting how different the various success stories are. Inevitably, of course, someone says that we're saying everyone should do what one of these artists are doing (a favorite of critics is the false idea that we've said everyone should go to Disneyland with some fans, like Josh Freese). But that's not the case at all. For Freese, it was a part of his personality (and his life, as he basically grew up at Disneyland, and performed there as a kid). The whole point of learning how to better connect with fans and giving them reasons to buy, is not that everyone has to use Twitter, or that everyone has to offer "tiered" offerings. Or that everyone has to tour, even. It's that there are many different ways that each artist can connect with fans and give them a reason to buy directly, and that each artist has to figure out the way to apply the concept in a way that fits with their own personality and sensibilities. It's great that Amanda was able to really drive home that point during her interview.
The second part is actually an amusing exchange between OK Go and Amanda after OK Go's second song. Lead singer Damian Kulash asks the audience for questions, and if you listen closely on the video, you can hear Amanda ask about how the band was able to not just get dropped by Capitol/EMI, but also to take the last record with them (something she was unable to do with Roadrunner/Warner Music). Kulash tries (not all that successfully) to dance around the legalities by setting up a hypothetical version of EMI -- but basically admits that with EMI more or less fighting every day to avoid defaulting on massive loans -- while at the same time fighting with the Beatles and other top acts, the label apparently found the fact that Kulash might occasionally pen op eds for the NY Times that made the label look totally clueless on digital things, that it was better to just usher the band out the door as quickly as possible. And, as such, the band had a bit of leverage, which was used to not just get out of the contract, but to take the last record with them.
Of course, the business model stuff was a minor part of the overall evening, which really was very much about music, and a rather celebratory mood from both acts about their freedom to stretch out creatively -- as both demonstrate beautifully in their separate performances. Among the many highlights, there's Kulash forgetting lyrics and later getting a case of the giggles in the middle of the band's hit song "Here It Goes Again" -- plus a rendition of "What To Do" performed entirely by the band using a table full of hand bells... And Amanda playing a song from her upcoming EP of Radiohead covers played on the ukulele because, as she noted, she can.

When should I use "in" or "on"?
I am always confused with the prepositions to use when indicating an event happening at a place. Should I use "at" or "in" or "on"?
For example:
We had our dinner at the McDonalds at/in the shopping centre at/on Sixth Avenue.
The McDonalds restaurant is in the shopping centre. The shopping centre is located at Sixth Avenue. So am I right to say "the McDonalds in the shopping centre at Sixth Avenue"?
Now, what if it was a street instead of an avenue? Say for example:
We had our dinner at the McDonalds at/in the shopping centre at/on Coral Street.
Here, somehow, I find it natural to say "the McDonalds at the shopping centre on Coral Street".
How do I determine the right prepositions to use? And how would the different prepositions give different meanings to the sentence?

COLUMBUS - The Georgia Southwestern men's basketball team clawed back from an early 10-point deficit and took the lead at the half only to have UNC Pembroke pull away in the second period behind 54 percent shooting and defeat the Hurricanes, 84-72, Friday evening in the quarterfinals of the Peach Belt Conference Tournament.
GSW finishes the season with a record of 13-14. With the victory, the East Division's top-seeded Braves improve to 21-8 on the season and will face Montevallo on Saturday.
Senior Milos Kleut was a perfect 8 of 8 from the floor in his final collegiate contest and booked a game-high 18 points for Hurricanes. Alan Arnett had 16 points off the bench to go with a team-high six rebounds. Jamon Hawkins pitched in 15 points and senior Matt Shaw added 12.
UNCP's Brandon Winford led a balanced offensive effort with 18 points. K.J. Cooper hit three 3-pointers and finished with 13 points, while Shahmel Brackett netted 12 and George Blakeney posted a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds.
In the first half, UNCP opened up as much as a 10-point lead on a Blakeney layup at the 6:56 mark. The Hurricanes battled back with eight straight points, and a steal and 3-point play from Arnett pulled GSW within 28-25 in just a span of 1:08. The Braves countered with five straight points, and another Blakeney layup put UNCP up 33-26 advantage with 4:07 left.
The 'Canes then closed the half on an 8-0 run for a 34-33 lead at the half. Kleut and Arnett combined for the final four buckets, all on layups. UNCP went scorless over the final 4:07, misfiring on the final five attempts from the field.
Pembroke led by as many as 13 with 6:12 left but the 'Canes remained within striking distance. A pair of Arnett free throws pulled the 'Canes within 71-62 and then Hawkins drained a trey from the left wing to close the gap to 72-65. Following a timeout, UNCP's Brackett and Arnett swapped driving layups.
UNCP sealed the victory with a Brackett 3-pointer from the left baseline and a jam and free throw from Winford in the final minute.
GSW shot 52.1 percent from the field, but connected on just 3 of 15 3-point attempts (20.0 percent). In a battle of the top two rebounding teams in the conference, the Braves owned a decided advantage on the interior, registering a 41-24 edge on the glass. It was the Hurricanes their largest rebounding deficit of the season.
UNCP made six 3-pointers, including five in the second half, and shot at a 48.4 percent clip (31-of-64).

Canceled four years ago, Aliens: Crucible was supposed to be an Aliens role-playing game, which always struck me as kind of weird. The film didn't seem like it would translate well to an RPG; hell, it didn't translate well to a shooter. Hey-oooooo ...
But material from Obsidian's development of the game, which ended in 2009, continues to spill out in dribs and drabs. Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart said his team had done a lot of work on the concept before Sega abruptly canceled it. These are some animations by Danny Garnett, a character animator at the time. He uploaded the video a month ago and only recently set it to public.
Are class-based xenomorphs more appealing if they're supposed to go into a role-playing game? Guess we'll never find out.

em-resque 1.1.1
Em-resque is a version of Resque, which offers non-blocking and non-forking workers. The idea is to have fast as possible workers for tasks with lots of IO like pinging third party servers or hitting the database. The async worker is using fibers through Synchrony library to reduce the amount of callback functions. There's one fiber for worker and if one of the workers is blocking, it will block all the workers at the same time. The idea to use this version and not the regular Resque is to reduce the amount of SQL connections for high-load services. Using one process for many workers gives a better control to the amount of SQL connections. For using Resque please refer the original project. https://github.com/defunkt/resque/ The library adds two rake tasks over Resque: * resque:work_async for working inside the EventMachine

Vaults, Jumps, and Other Leaps of Faith
Cheers to the organizers of the London Olympics for using the games to highlight some of Britain's most famous architectural landmarks. Take the
equestrian events, where you could see riders jumping over clever architectural models of Number 10 Downing Street (photo courtesy
The Guardian), and the Tower of London (the latter is shown above, photo courtesy Hussavelos) — all within sight of the Queen's House by Inigo
Jones (ca. 1635, just behind the jumps) and the Naval Hospital by Sir Christopher Wren (ca. 1695, twin domes behind the Queen's House) at Greenwich. Horse Guards Parade — the grounds in front of the
the symmetrical Horse Guards by William Kent (1753) in central London made a very theatrical backdrop for beach volleyball (photo courtesy Eurosport.com). Indeed it became a marvelously improbable stage set — like an urban, open-air
version of Palladios's Teatro Olimpico (a serendipitous name) of 1585 in Vicenza, above, no less (photo courtesy wikipedia). Kent would have known a lot about Palladio and his theater but probably not much about volleyball, not to mention
Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh-Jennings (photo courtesy London2012). Horse Guards Parade Ground was an inspired choice of venue because it was designed as a ceremonial setting in the first place. One good parade — or should I say, ace serve — deserves another.
London definitely had a starring role, which made me think about how British design in general has contributed to the shape and character of the home. It's a huge subject but here are three especially influential figures.
1. In the late 1800s print maker, textile designer, and author William Morris helped found the English Arts & Crafts
Movement and gave us wallpaper designs like this one, called "Vine." The movement's hand-crafted, nature-oriented approach lead to the development of the Craftsman style (image courtesy Historicstyle.com).
2. Early twentieth century Scottish architect Charles Rennie Macintosh designed his iconic ladder- and oval-backed chairs, which remain popular today (image
courtesy Makedesignedobjects.com).
3. London-based designer/author/impresario Terence Conran has been influential through his modern design shops (Conrans) and books promoting an eclectic functionalism. In the kitchen and living room of Conran's own house
you can see how he deftly combines spare modern lines, open planning
and abundant daylight with subtle colors and the warmth of wood (photos by Paul Massey courtesy HousetoHome.com). A good place to toast a British accent in design.

The Grand Re-Opening
I had been resistant to getting a new dog. We couldn't afford one; we couldn't afford the time to train a pup, the sleep deprivation, the continual puppy proofing the areas he would reside in, the contingent poop and pee cleanup. We couldn't financially afford the shots, the toys, the food, the new crate. It was just too much stuff all at once, and we were just getting established as a couple and as a family.
That wasn't the true reason I didn't want a dog. I had been resistant because of a dog I'd had before, the dog I left behind. I loved this dog with all my heart, he was my "first." I did not want to disrespect that dog by replacing him. I always questioned if my decision to leave him behind with my ex was right. My head always said yes, but my heart always said no. This left a war inside of me of enormous proportions that I could only allow to play out as it would, a sort of inner-Vietnam that ended only with withdrawal, but not with surrender.
So I put my foot down for a long time. "No, no dogs." I would add the caveat the sake of mollification: "Not yet." Maybe someday. Maybe someday I would be ready. Maybe someday our home situation would be perfect for a puppy. That would be when we could get a puppy: when we were independently wealthy and didn't have to work and had all the time in the world to train a pup the proper way. Yeah, then.
I added another caveat to my "no dogs" edict: "I'll know my dog when I see him." I knew I would know the right dog for us when I saw him. It would be a chemical thing, like falling in love. I would not be swayed by cute fluff balls and wide expressive eyes. I would not be swayed by the tug of puppy teeth and the scent of puppy breath through a cage as we wandered through the aisles of a rescue. I would not be swayed; I would not be swayed until the perfect time when we were independently wealthy. In this way, I could save our money, our time, and my heart. I would just use my intuition (which I heretofore had never had) to know the when and the which one.
My partner continued to try to bend me, showing me pictures on the internet of homeless pups and rescue pups. She tried every breed; I saw terriers and shih tzus, Pomeranians and Pekinese, Maltese and min-pins. I saw every mutt with a happy, drooly, grinning face, and heard every sad story about why the owners could not keep said dog. And my response was always the same: "Oh, yes, he's so cute, but no, not yet."
What it came down to was that I was not ready to forgive myself. It's not as though the dog I left behind wasn't loved; I knew my ex loved him as much as I did. I didn't leave him in some rat hole; it's a two bedroom, one bath with a fenced back yard. But circumstances dictated that I leave, and leave my boy behind. Did that kind of behavior even warrant the luxury of having another dog again? I wondered in silence but responded with "No, not yet."
Until one day, while trolling the internet for that love match for me yet again, my partner turned the screen towards me and said, "Baby, look." Two males, pug crossed with dachshund, both auburn with black muzzles. Their mother had died shortly after birth and their father had gone missing.
I looked.
"Wow, they're really cute," I said.
I'm sure my partner was shocked that she didn't receive my standard, "Oh, yes, they're so cute, but no, not yet." She could only pause and let me look at the picture.
"They're only two hours away, and they don't want a lot of money, just to cover the shots," she offered.
"Yeah, they're really cute," I responded again.
Something in me said that's your dog. I knew in theory that it would happen like that, but I was surprised that it actually did happen.
Two days later my partner and I were in the very nice home of some very nice people trying to rehome the last two of the surprise litter of their two lost but beloved house dogs. I sat cross-legged on the floor, and the daughter put the pups down about three feet from me. They were barely bigger than hamsters, just eight weeks old to the day. One of them walked right to me, as though he knew me, crawled in my lap, as though my lap were his home. The other had nothing to do with me, had nothing to do with either my partner or me. The first pup explored me, my fingers, tasting, smelling, intent. I looked up at my partner as I cuddled the warm ball of fur to my neck, and our eyes met. She smiled at me and fished through her purse for the nominal rehoming fee.
That little guy rode home most of the way with me, on my chest, staring into my eyes as I stared back into his. He studied me hard, calmly, gazing, as though memorizing. I thought perhaps that he was imprinting me (as I was him) but I think it was more than that, now that I think back on it. I think he was singing The Byrds, as sometimes he still sings, even now, softly, as he lays against my leg as I write this about him, "To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn, and a time for every purpose under heaven."

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey and vicinity
When MJ Eckert, my college roommate, told me she was starting Lice Happens, I immediately knew this was a service I wanted to offer to the families in my area (Philadelphia and Southern NJ).
I completely appreciated the value of this service, after battling head lice with my own daughter and hearing horror stories from parents throughout my years as a youth lacrosse coach, field hockey referee, and Girl Scout leader.
As an Environmental Scientist, I fully embrace Lice Happens' non-toxic, eco-friendly, and pesticide-free approach to head lice removal!

Vidor child dies from gunshot
A five-year-old boy was killed by a gunshot wound in what sheriff's deputies are calling an accidental shooting in Vidor on Monday, Oct. 21.
According to Orange County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Clint Hodgkinson, dispatch received a call regarding the incident at a little after 3 p.m. Hodgkinson said that according to witnesses, the child was at home with his babysitter. The woman was reportedly in another room and heard something that alerted her that something was wrong. She told deputies went into the room from where she heard the noise and found the boy already injured with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head. No phone was available at the home on Roberts Street in Vidor, so the babysitter carried the child to the home of his grandparents on nearby Scott Drive and called 9-1-1. Hodgkinson said first responders were unable to revive the child, and he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The name of the victim is being withheld at this time, deputies said.

It's a data issue that videogames had for years.
I agree about Cap'n and Xmen/inhumans, but otherwise, I think Marvel is great. A lot of talent went to Star Wars titles and they're very good imo.
And I really think, like used cars taking away new car sales, comics are going to suffer with the new digital subscription deals. I've read nearly as much old Marvel as new Marvel in my year of subscribing.
The funny thing is that this list:
DC looks dominant and the top Marvel issues are ... two issues of Cap'n Hydra. So who knows?
That list makes me sad. I was a Marvel guy most of my life, and on that list of 24, there are 5 marvel titles. 2 Cap'n Hydra, 1 Starwars, 2 new heroes. Ouch.

Zacharias Ursinus
German reformer and theologian
A reforming theologian, Ursinus was born Breslau in 1534 and studied at Wittenberg from 1550 to 1557. He then moved to Geneva for further study and from there took a teaching post in his native city of Breslau. His doctrine of the Lord's Supper led to his dismissal from Breslau in 1559. But in 1561, thanks to his mentor Peter Martyr Vermigli, received an invitation from Elector Frederick III to come to Heidelberg as director of the theological academy.
It was at Heidelberg that with Caspar Olevianus he made his )most notable contribution to church life by drafting the Heidelberg Catechism (1563). He also undertook the defense of the Catechism against Lutheran objections.
From 1562 he added the professorship of dogmatics to his administrative duties and also prepared a new liturgy. Zanchius relieved him the burden of teaching in 1568, but Ursinus became involved in a difficult struggle to bring in a new discipline on the Genevan model (1570). The death of the electtor in 1577 opened the way for Lutheran influences. Ursinus, with Zanchius, move to Neustadt in 1578 and spent his last year there. In addition to his work on the Catechism, he also wrote an important treatise on the Lutheran Book of Concord and did much to promote Peter Martyr's Loci.

Zacharias Ursinus was one of the primary writers of the Heidelberg Catechism, one of the most important documents of Reformed churches across the world. As well as the Catechism itself, Ursinus authored commentary on the Catechism as well as various theological essays. In What is Catechism?, he defines the word "catechism," prescribes the proper applications catechisms, and defends the importance of catechization generally. The theologian supports his claims with both Scripture and appeals to the history of the Church and its traditions. Ursinus provides modern readers with a succinct, fascinating look into the formation and reasoning behind Protestant catechisms.
In this article, Zacharias Ursinus exposits and expands question and answer 19 of the Heidelberg Catechism, of which he was the primary author. In greater detail, he defines the term "gospel" and what Christians mean when they speak of the Gospel. As a further supplement, he describes the history of the Gospel as a doctrine, and what part the Gospel plays in the life of the church. Concerning church practice, he outlines how the Gospel differs from the Law, the stated rules and standards of the faith. Along with plenty of scripture references, he includes brief discussions of several Greek words relevant to both scripture and the Catechism itself.

Had a Fri-date night yesterday at Dusit Thani's Benjarong. The authentic fine dining thai food was delish! While waiting for our orders, I decided to take my outfit shots at the staircase of the gold-adorned hotel, and it worked perfectly with my black elegant dress. I have always loved the interiors of Dusit Thani, all gold, elegant and royalty. I wish to go to Thailand someday, I have heard nice things about it, the shopping, Bangkok, temples and of course their famous Thai massage and foot spa! I can't wait to step into Thailand someday! :)

Demi Lovato has seemingly offered her support to Selena Gomez, following the latter's recent time in rehab.
Gomez's rep confirmed yesterday (February 5) that the star secretly spent two weeks at the Dawn at the Meadows facility in Arizona last month.
Shortly after the news broke, Lovato - who has been friends with the 21-year-old since childhood - posted a supportive message on Twitter.
She tweeted: "Weakness is living in denial. Only the strongest people ask for help."
The former X Factor judge has spent time in rehab herself, entering a treatment facility for physical and emotional issues three years ago.
The exact reasons for Gomez's rehab stint remain unclear, but her rep has insisted that the star was not admitted for substance abuse.
In addition to treatments for drug and alcohol addiction, Dawn at the Meadows - which specialises in helping young adults aged between 18 and 26 - offers programmes "to treat depression, anxiety, mood disorders or any other behavioral problem".
Gomez announced in December that she was cancelling a string of tour dates across Asia and Australia "in order to be the best person [she] can be".

nimbex needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 71 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
Im looking for a new, more professional looking logo to replace the current text-based logo that we are using.
FoxThree Software
Basically we are looking for a new logo that will be used on websites and all printed materials. We are wanting to replace the current logo that is just some plain text with a splash of color that i threw together in photoshop. We are a web-based software company that is in the middle of producing our first big product and are looking for a new logo to go along with the first release of the product.
- Would like Pantone Orange 012C (or its nearest equivalent) to be included somehow.
- A modern look.
- Something that will look good on dark and light backgrounds or alternating versions for light and dark backgrounds. It would be preferable if the finals come on a transparent background so i can pick the background color rather than having it set by the image.
- Hothing to overpowering/over the top
- Preferably nothing that is a single color only.
- I would probably like to steer away from the use of an image of a fox, but i can be steered. (Appologies for leaving this one out)
