What is Python keyring lib?
The Python keyring lib provides a easy way to access the system keyring service from python. It can be used in any application that needs safe password storage.
The keyring services supported by the Python keyring lib:
- OSXKeychain: supports the Keychain service in Mac OS X.
- KDEKWallet: supports the KDE's Kwallet service.
- GnomeKeyring: for Gnome 2 environment.
- SecretServiceKeyring: for newer GNOME and KDE environments.
Besides these native password storing services provided by operating systems. Python keyring lib also provides following build-in keyrings.
- Win32CryptoKeyring: for Windows 2k+.
- CryptedFileKeyring: a command line interface keyring base on PyCrypto.
- UncryptedFileKeyring: a keyring which leaves passwords directly in file.
Installation Instructions
easy_install or pip
Run easy_install or pip:
$ easy_install keyring $ pip install keyring
Source installation
Download the source tarball, and uncompress it, then run the install command:
$ wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/k/keyring/keyring-0.3.tar.gz $ tar -xzvf keyring-0.3.tar.gz $ cd keyring-0.3 $ python setup.py install
Configure your keyring lib
The python keyring lib contains implementations for several backends, including OSX Keychain, Gnome Keyring, KDE Kwallet and etc. The lib will automatically choose the keyring that is most suitable for your current environment. You can also specify the keyring you like to be used in the config file or by calling the set_keyring() function.
Customize your keyring by config file
This section is about how to change your option in the config file.
Config file path
The configuration of the lib is stored in a file named "keyringrc.cfg". The file can be stored in either of following two paths.
- The working directory of the python
- The home directory for current user
The lib will first look for the config file in the working directory. If no config file exists or the config file cannot be written properly, keyring will reference the config in the home directory.
Beginning with keyring 0.8, the config root is platform specific. To determine where in the home directory the config file (and other data files) are stored, run the following:
python -c "import keyring.util.platform; print(keyring.util.platform.data_root())"
Config file content
To specify a keyring backend, you need tell the lib the module name of the backend, such as keyring.backends.OS_X.Keyring. If the backend is not shipped with the lib, in another word, is made by you own, you need also tell the lib the path of your own backend module. The module name should be written after the default-keyring option, while the module path belongs the keyring-path option.
Here's a sample config file(The full demo can be accessed in the demo/keyring.py):
[backend] default-keyring=simplekeyring.SimpleKeyring keyring-path=/home/kang/pyworkspace/python-keyring-lib/demo/
Write your own keyring backend
The interface for the backend is defined by keyring.backend.KeyringBackend. By extending this base class and implementing the three functions supported(), get_password() and set_password(), you can easily create your own backend for keyring lib.
The usage of the three functions:
- supported(self) : Return if this backend is supported in current environment. The returned value can be 0, 1 , or -1. 0 means suitable; 1 means recommended and -1 means this backend is not available for current environment.
- get_password(self, service, username) : Return the stored password for the username of the service.
- set_password(self, service, username, password) : Store the password for username of the service in the backend.
- delete_password(self, service, username) : Delete the stored password for the username of the service.
For an instance, there's the source code of the demo mentioned above. It's a simple keyring which stores the password directly in memory.
""" simplekeyring.py A simple keyring class for the keyring_demo.py Created by Kang Zhang on 2009-07-12 """ from keyring.backend import KeyringBackend class SimpleKeyring(KeyringBackend): """Simple Keyring is a keyring which can store only one password in memory. """ def __init__(self): self.password = '' def supported(self): return 0 def get_password(self, service, username): return self.password def set_password(self, service, username, password): self.password = password return 0 def delete_password(self, service, username): self.password = None
Set the keyring in runtime
Besides setting the backend through the config file, you can also set the backend to use by calling the api set_keyring(). The backend you passed in will be used to store the password in your application.
Here's a code snippet from the keyringdemo.py. It shows the usage of set_keyring()
# define a new keyring class which extends the KeyringBackend import keyring.backend class TestKeyring(keyring.backend.KeyringBackend): """A test keyring which always outputs same password """ def supported(self): return 0 def set_password(self, servicename, username, password): return 0 def get_password(self, servicename, username): return "password from TestKeyring" def delete_password(self, servicename, username, password): return 0 # set the keyring for keyring lib import keyring keyring.set_keyring(TestKeyring()) # invoke the keyring lib try: keyring.set_password("demo-service", "tarek", "passexample") print "password stored sucessfully" except keyring.backend.PasswordSetError: print "failed to store password" print "password", keyring.get_password("demo-service", "tarek")
Integrate the keyring lib with your application
API interface
The keyring lib has a few functions:
- get_keyring() : Return the currently-loaded keyring implementation.
- get_password(service, username) : Returns the password stored in keyring. If the password does not exist, it will return None.
- set_password(service, username, password) : Store the password in the keyring.
- delete_password(service, username) : Delete the password stored in keyring. If the password does not exist, it will raise an exception.
Here's an example of using keyring for application authorization. It can be found in the demo folder of the repository. Note that the faked auth function only returns true when the password equals to the username.
""" auth_demo.py Created by Kang Zhang 2009-08-14 """ import keyring import getpass import ConfigParser def auth(username, password): """A faked authorization function. """ return username == password def main(): """This scrip demos how to use keyring facilite the authorization. The username is stored in a config named 'auth_demo.cfg' """ # config file init config_file = 'auth_demo.cfg' config = ConfigParser.SafeConfigParser({ 'username':'', }) config.read(config_file) if not config.has_section('auth_demo_login'): config.add_section('auth_demo_login') username = config.get('auth_demo_login','username') password = None if username != '': password = keyring.get_password('auth_demo_login', username) if password == None or not auth(username, password): while 1: username = raw_input("Username:\n") password = getpass.getpass("Password:\n") if auth(username, password): break else: print "Authorization failed." # store the username config.set('auth_demo_login', 'username', username) config.write(open(config_file, 'w')) # store the password keyring.set_password('auth_demo_login', username, password) # the stuff that needs authorization here print "Authorization successful." if __name__ == "__main__": main()

Python keyring lib is an open community project and highly welcomes new contributors.

Running Tests
Tests are continuously run using Travis-CI.
To run the tests yourself, you'll want keyring installed to some environment in which it can be tested. Three recommended techniques are described below.
Using pytest runner
Keyring is instrumented with pytest runner. Thus, you may invoke the tests from any supported Python (with distribute installed) using this command:
python setup.py ptr
pytest runner will download any unmet dependencies and run the tests using pytest.
This technique is the one used by the Travis-CI script.
If you want to run the tests under Python 3, you must be sure that you are testing the library after 2to3 got executed. The easiest way to do it would be to use:
python3 setup.py build ptr --addopts "build/lib"
Using virtualenv and pytest/nose/unittest2
Pytest and Nose are two popular test runners that will discover tests and run them. Unittest2 (also known as simply unittest in Python 3) also has a mode to discover tests.
First, however, these test runners typically need a test environment in which to run. It is recommended that you install keyring to a virtual environment to avoid interfering with your system environment. For more information, see the virtualenv homepage.
After you've created (or designated) your environment, install keyring into the environment by running:
python setup.py develop
Then, invoke your favorite test runner, e.g.:
Using buildout
Keyring supplies a buildout.cfg for use with buildout. If you have buildout installed, tests can be invoked as so:
1. bin/buildout # prepare the buildout. 2. bin/test # execute the test runner.
For more information about the options that the script provides do execute:
python bin/test --help
The project was based on Tarek Ziade's idea in this post. Kang Zhang initially carried it out as a Google Summer of Code project, and Tarek mentored Kang on this project.

Roasted Beet Soup
September 10th, 2006 | Category: Soup, Vegetarian
Last night I went to sleep hoping that I would wake up to a rainy day. I missed staying at home on a rainy day curled up with a hard disk filled with many episodes of my favorite TV series. Contrary to my heavy Sunday morning sleeping ritual, my eyes opened at 8:30 a.m. The heavy sleeper I am, I think I imagined the sound of wind ...

Lawmakers have lots of ideas to solve the current border crisis, but none of them are very popular.
Partisan rancor has reached a crescendo this week as Democrats and Republicans weigh the merits of providing Customs and Border Protection and other agencies with an emergency surge in funding to deal with the thousands of Central American children who have made their way to the U.S. border.
President Obama asked for $3.7 billion to deal with the crisis through the end of the fiscal year. Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked a Democratic effort to give affected agencies $2.7 billion. The House on Friday night passed a last-minute bill that would provide $694 million in funding, but the Senate had already left for recess.
While Congress attempts to come up with a workable solution, one group has said the answer is in cutting spending, not adding it.
The National Border Patrol Council said a measure to overhaul the pay system for Border Patrol agents would be the most effective means to secure the border. NBPC President Brandon Judd said instead of spending money to mobilize National Guard troops to the border, Congress should authorize BP to spend less money on personnel. Doing so, Judd said, would enable BP to be "fully staffed at the border."
Under the 2013 Border Patrol Agent Pay Reform Act, agents would be able to choose to work 100, 90 or 80 hours per two-week period. Any amount worked between 80 hours and the schedule they choose would be compensated as overtime, or time and a half. And any amount exceeding the total agreed upon hours in a pay period -- which BP management and advocates said occurs regularly and allows agents to remain in pursuit of criminals when their shift ends -- would be rewarded through compensatory time off.
The legislation, which attempts to standardize pay for Border Patrol agents and prevent them from double dipping into overtime compensation through the use of Administratively Uncontrollable Overtime, would save $100 million annually, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Those savings could be applied directly to addressing the current situation at the border.
"This is not rocket science," Judd said. "When crime increases in our communities, we respond by putting more law enforcement officers on the streets. Right now we have trained, highly skilled agents who cannot be deployed in the field due to across-the-board federal agency cuts. The pay reform bill enables us to fully deploy our agents, step up efforts to stop the smuggling of dangerous drugs and exploitation of people and to save taxpayers' money. Congress needs to act urgently and pass this legislation so we can do our jobs."
Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., who introduced the bill in the Senate with bipartisan support, agreed that his legislation should be part of any solution. A spokesman added, however, it cannot be the only action Congress takes.
"While [Tester] believes any border solution must be comprehensive," said Dan Malessa, a spokesman for the senator, "he believes his pay reform bill would be a big step forward for smarter border security."
In addition to bolstering the border, Obama has proposed providing emergency funds to the Health and Human Services and Justice departments to care for the children and represent them in immigration court.

Chef James Mitchell is a man on a mission — to develop connoisseurs of healthy eating. James is the owner-operator of Café Mills at 6440 Greene St. in Mt. Airy, which is open seven days a week. The cafe occupies both floors of the beautifully renovated Upsal Train Station on the Chestnut Hill West line, and serves vegetarian, vegan and heart-healthy foods.
Mitchell moved the café to its present location from its previous home at Sherman Mills in East Falls last July because he needed more room and because he liked the "ambience, culture, diversity and serenity" of the Mt. Airy setting.
The 55-year-old Mitchell, who has two children and two grandchildren, two of whom work at the café, was born in North Philly and attended Ben Franklin High School and Antioch College. He has been a vegan for two years and a vegetarian most of his life, and has a family history of chefs and restaurateurs.
At the age of 18 he began working with his grandfather, who operated one of the first minority-owned barbecue eateries in Philadelphia. During the 10 years he worked with his grandfather, James learned about food prep and operating a business. Later, he worked at Horn & Hardart, initially as a short order cook and eventually as a line cook. He also worked in the catering business.
During the '80s James was introduced to the vegetarian and vegan eating lifestyle. "I met some folks in 1983," he said, "at the Natural Foods Eatery (1345 Locust St., no longer there), who made me appreciate and enjoy that type of food." Eventually, he began to work in the catering field with his specialties being gourmet and heart-healthy foods. As a result of the favorable responses, he decided to use his knowledge and expertise in a number of nonprofit ventures.
From 2003 to 2006, he ran a health and nutrition program, "Safe Passage Through Synergy," which went to different Philly schools and taught kids about healthy eating alternatives. Presently, James provides breakfast to the residents of the nearby Cliveden Nursing Home, and every Thursday he prepares heart-healthy meals which are given free of charge to less fortunate individuals as part of the Presbyterian Church's "Heavenly Harvest Meals" program at 60th and Master Streets in West Philly. He is also on the Program Advisory Committee for Starr Career Academy's culinary program and provides internship supervision to future graduates.
James is a member of the Enon Baptist Church on Cheltenham Avenue in West Oak Lane, where he prepares food for their "Temple Builders" ministry, whose mission is to "provide a spiritually based fitness program focused on the ideal of honoring the human body as a fit and healthy temple." A number of the congregation have also been coming to the Café Mills for meals during their 40 day, no-meat, no-sugar fast.
Every third Friday Café Mills is host to a Professional Women's breakfast, and on 3rd Friday evenings, a movie-and-dinner combo called "Soul Food Cinema" is served up. In 2011, for the second year in a row, Chef James won the annual East Falls Chili Cook-Off. His vegan chili is now a signature item and a frequent request on the menu. His signature smoothie drink is the famous "Green Machine" featuring spinach, avocado, banana, hemp protein, and more. Café Mills' extensive menu also includes breakfast, sandwiches, soups, salads, entrees, pizza, desserts and several types of meatless burgers. Their winter hours are Tuesday-Friday, 8 a.m.-7 p.m., Saturday, 10-6, and Sunday, 10-4.
James continues to do catering and also rents out the top floor of the Cafe for private events (BYOB). The upstairs space seats 60 people and has a stage with lighting and sound systems. This summer he plans to open up the take-out shop across the tracks from the café to sell fruits, beverages and smoothies. He's also teaching two courses through the Mt. Airy Learning Tree, "Cooking For Life" and "Juice Your Way to a Healthier You." Both courses began March 9 (215-843-6333).
When I asked Chef Mitchell how he finds time to do so many things, he said, "This is my passion; feeding people good, healthy food."

Top Dentist
121 Listings in 7 Categories Across Acadiana's 22 Parishes
(page 1 of 11)
This list is excerpted from the 2013 topDentists™ list, a database that includes listings for more than 100 dentists and specialists in the Acadiana area. The Acadiana list is based on thousands of detailed evaluations of dentists and professionals by their peers. The complete database is available at usatopdentists.com. For more information, call 706/364-0853; write P.O. Box 970, Augusta, GA 30903; email firstname.lastname@example.com; or visit usatopdentists.com.
Selection Process
This is the question we've asked thousands of dentists to help us determine who the topDentists should be. Dentists and specialists are asked to take into consideration years of experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies and of course physical results.
The nomination pool of dentists consists of dentists listed online with the American Dental Association, as well as all dentists listed online with their local dental societies, thus allowing virtually every dentist the opportunity to participate. Dentists are also given the opportunity to nominate other dentists who we have missed who they feel should be included in our list. Respondents are asked to put aside any personal bias or political motivations and to use only their knowledge of their peers' work when evaluating the other nominees.
Voters are asked to individually evaluate the practitioners on their ballots whose work they are familiar with. Once the balloting is completed, the scores are compiled and then averaged. The numerical average required for inclusion varies depending on the average for all the nominees within the specialty and the geographic area. Borderline cases are given careful consideration by the editors. Voting characteristics and comments are taken into consideration while making decisions. Past awards a dentist has received and status in various dental academies (Academy of General Dentistry, American Academy of Periodontology, etc.) can play a factor in our decision.
Once the decisions have been finalized, the included dentists are checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have an active license and are in good standing with the board. Then letters of congratulations are sent to all the listed dentists.
Of course there are many fine dentists who are not included in this representative list. It is intended as a sampling of the great body of talent in the field of dentistry in the United States. A dentist's inclusion on our list is based on the subjective judgments of his or her fellow dentists. While it is true that the lists may at times disproportionately reward visibility or popularity, we remain confident that our polling methodology largely corrects for any biases and that these lists continue to represent the most reliable, accurate and useful list of dentists available anywhere.

Listen to Snippet of the Saturdays' New Single 'What About Us'
The boy bands may have had their fun, but it's time for another British group sensation, a female group by the name of the Saturdays, to have their chance in the limelight.
The women in the Saturdays have already seen monster success in England -- 11 Top 10 single and three top albums -- and are now determined to conquer America. Ryan Seacrest, basically the industry's Wizard of Oz, shared a sneak peek of their song 'What About Us' on his radio show, and even announced that they'd be getting their own E! series, 'Chasing the Saturdays,' to give those of us stateside a proper introduction.
Mollie, Una, Rochelle, Vanessa, and Frankie relocated to Los Angeles in order to shoot their reality series, and each 30-minute episode (set to air Jan. 20, 2013), will follow the group from the moment they sign with Mercury/Island Def Jam Records to the hardcore promoting of their aforementioned single.
The women talked with us about what it was like sharing their single, which also features Sean Paul, with the U.S. for the first time. "We were so scared," admits Frankie. They also described what the accompanying music video would be like for the single, calling it "laid back — it's the five of us just having fun in L.A., and then we go over to a baseball field."
"Next year is going to be a good year for us," Rochelle admits. "We obviously can't say too much about it but it's going to be so exciting. We've got so much in the pipeline."

While everyone anxiously awaits the start of winter, many from Burton, and many friends of Burton, took a "swing at another sport on Monday, 9/12. Over 220 golfers, slicers, and hackers convened at the Fourth Annual Chill Golf Tournament at the Vermont National Country Club in South Burlington. Under sunny skies and unseasonably warm temps, the Chill crew hosted 82 golfers at a 7:30am tee-off, and 144 golfers at a 1:15 tee-off. This first-ever double shotgun event was not only a ton of fun, but it also raised over $50,000 for Chill!
"It was an awesome day for a deserving cause, said golfer (and snowboarder), Jake Burton. "As much fun as we all had, it's good to know that as a result some kids this winter are going to have a lot more fun learning to ride.
TransWorld Media is Chill's international print media sponsor for the 2006 season, supporting Chill's efforts across all of their North American program sites. In addition to participating in the Vermont golf tournament, TW provided caps to all of the golfers.
"We're thrilled to be able to help such a great organization bring a great sport and lifestyle to kids who don't have access, said Jeff Griffing of TransWorld. "Chill reminds us all what's important.
Chill is an international intervention program that was founded by Burton Snowboards in 1995 as a way to give back and share the sport of snowboarding with kids who would never otherwise have the opportunity. Since that inaugural season, Chill has grown to a program that will serve over 2200 disadvantaged inner-city kids in 14 North American cities. In each of these cities, Chill will take over 170 troubled kids snowboarding once a week for six weeks and will provide them with everything they need for this experience, including jackets, pants and gloves.
For more information on Chill, please log onto www.burton.com.


text: "Wicked Single," the latest entry in the Boston-based reality TV sweepstakes, will debut, not coincidentally, on St. Patrick's Day. And judging from VH1's press release, the show will look and sound a lot like "Jersey Shore," but with a Boston accent. The hard-partying cast includes a 28-year-old woman with an "outrageous" personality, a 30-year-old guy named "Chubs" known for his "immature antics," and a 24-year-old girl nicknamed "the maniac." Uh oh. The show premieres March 17 at 11 p.m. "Wicked Single" joins several other reality shows set in and around Boston, including A&E's "Southie Rules," three docu-series being produced by Mark Wahlberg, and also "Boston's Finest," a show about Boston cops being produced for TNT by Wahlberg's brother Donnie.

I don't know why it took criticism and a year to do these things, but better late than never. Even so, the Mets made three announcements Saturday reflecting the ties to their past that should have been announced when Citi Field opened.
First, various VIP entrances were named after: Gil Hodges, Tom Seaver and Casey Stengel. The outfield bridge will be named Shea bridge.
Secondly, there will be a Hall of Fame, which should have been in the original blue prints. It will be next the Jackie Robinson Rotundra.
Lastly, there will be banners of Mets players on Mets Plaza in front of the Jackie Robinson Rotunda and the light poles in the parking lots will be adorned with the team's logo.
Yes, this is something that should should have been done in the beginning, but better late than never. I love it when a team acknowledges its past. The Mets history isn't as successful as several teams, say the Yankees, Dodgers and Cardinals, but it is colorful and rich and closing in on 50 years.
There's no question the fans honor Mets history. The team should do the same.

A study by the University of Arkansas indicates that shifting from 38-inch rows to twin-row, 15-inch or to twin-row, 7.5-inch configurations in cotton won't negatively impact lint yield and quality.
According to Tom Barber, Extension cotton specialist at the University of Arkansas, the study's findings could be useful for cotton producers who've shifted to twin-row corn and soybeans and want to do the same for cotton. Doing so could simplify field operations, allowing the same planting equipment to be used across crops.
"Our crop mix has changed," Barber said. "We have a lot of farmers growing cotton, corn and soybeans, and there are lot more corn and soybeans than cotton. With the high costs of seed and technology fees, many farmers are wondering if there are ways to cut back on equipment and use one planter for everything. So we're trying to find ways to use similar equipment for all three crops."
The study on the effect of row configuration and seeding rate on cotton yield and fiber quality was conducted in 2007 and 2008 on clay soils at the Northeast Research and Extension Center in Keiser, Ark., and on silt loams soils at the Lon Mann Cotton Research Station in Marianna, Ark. NREC director Fred Bourland and NREC agronomist Daniel Stephenson also participated in the study.
The cotton variety ST 4554B2RF was planted at both locations for both years of the study. Scientists constructed 38-inch beds on which all of the configurations were planted. They planted single 38-inch rows, twin 7.5-inch rows, and twin 15-inch rows. Plant populations ranged from 35,000 plants per acre to 75,000 plants per acre.
Researchers planted standard 38-inch and twin-row 15-inch configurations with a John Deere vacuum planter and the 7.5-inch twin rows with a Monosem twin-row planter.
With 7.5-inch twin rows, there was a 30.5-inch middle and a 23-inch middle on the twin-row 15-inch rows. Barber said the 15-inch twin-row cotton rows were located too close to the edge of the bed and would have worked better with at least a 40-inch bed. "The top of the bed needs to be about 20 inches across. You could knock it down and plant, but we used a hipper/roller to roll it and flatten the bed out."
Data was gathered on stand counts, plant mapping data, lint yield and fiber quality. Plants at both research stations were furrow irrigated.
A John Deere picker with heads designed specifically for 15-inch picking was used to pick the 15-inch plots. The 38-inch rows and the 7.5-inch twin rows were picked with a standard picker configured for 38-inch rows."
Over the two years of the study, researchers did not notice significant differences between the planting patterns for plant height, nodes above white flower, turnout, lint percent or fiber quality.
The only plot showing significant differences from other plots in terms of the number of fruiting branches were 7.5-inch twin rows on silt loam at the Marianna location. "When we looked at seeding rate across locations, we saw more fruiting branches at the lower seeding rate. We didn't see any differences in the number of vegetative branches between the patterns."
While there were no significant yield differences between planting patterns, researchers did pick up on a few trends. On the Keiser clay soil, "as you move the rows in from 38 inches, you're going to see a higher yield. On the Marianna silt loam soil, which is our better cotton ground, there is usually not much difference in any of the patterns. Most of the time, the narrow rows are usually lower in yield. There's a reason why we've been growing cotton on 38-inch rows in the Delta."
Barber said boll mapping showed more fruit on the 7.5-inch cotton. "However, because of where the fruit was — lower on the stalk — and the configuration of the plants, and the way both plants came into a single 38-inch picking unit, we just couldn't get them effectively picked."
None of the seeding rates provided a decided advantage for the three planting patterns. Researchers did see significant differences in plant survival by seeding rates. "We were getting close to 100 percent survival until we planted 65,000 to 75,000 plants per acre, where we were only getting 70 percent to 80 percent survival."
As seeding rate increased on clay soils, "we saw a trend for increasing yields. On silt loam soils, if you get a good stand, the low seeding rate is going to be just about as good as anything else. Getting a good stand is the key."
For 38-inch rows, there was no ideal seeding rate, according to the study. "But on 7.5-inch twin rows, there is a slight increase in yield as we increase seeding rate."
Barber says twin-row 15-inch cotton "is going to be better on our mixed soil and clay soil ground."
Barber says the two years of the study indicate that twin-row 7.5-inch cotton will deliver good yields. "Using a twin-row system means they only have to change the planter and nothing else. If I'm a corn, soybean and cotton farmer, I can use the same machinery and plant them all."
On the other hand, harvest efficiency of twin-row 7.-5 inch cotton "is going to become a problem depending on how your picker is set up."
UA researchers plan to continue the study in 2009.

Former child star Tami Erin has blasted a former boyfriend for going public with their sex tape.
TMZ.com editors obtained the racy footage on Monday and approached Erin, who played Pippi Longstocking on the big screen in 1988, for a comment.
Now 39, the upset actress blamed her bitter ex-boyfriend for attempting to sell a private hardcore sex tape to the media.
She said, "I think he's the biggest piece of s— on the planet for doing this to me."
It's unlikely anyone will get a chance to see the sex tape because Erin insists she won't be giving her permission for a porn company to sell the tape.

UH Hilo professor to address international conference in Italy
UH Hilo Home > News and Events > UH Hilo Press Releases
Date: Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Contact: Alyson Kakugawa-Leong, (808) 974-7642
For Immediate Release
A University of Hawaii at Hilo professor of agribusiness has been selected to participate in the second USDA and AIFA2 International Conference.
Dr. Sabry Shehata will present his research paper entitled, "From Business Conceptions to The Bank: Alternative Model to Estimate the Economic Feasibility of Taro," during the June 19-21, 2008 gathering in Bologna, Italy.
Shehata's paper is the product of a 12-month research study which was jointly funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service (CSREES) and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA).
His research utilized the interactive economic model he developed to estimate a project's financial feasibility. Shehata's program is user-friendly and provides an accurate, timely analysis by changing any or all variables, to produce different outcomes. Data on the cost of establishing a business is input into the model, which then estimates the Pro forma Income Statement, Pro forma Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, and conducts the financial analyses needed to approve a loan. The program can also adjust to rapidly changing market conditions,such as wages. With the click of a mouse, the changes are instantly calculated, examined and reported to the user.
Shehata's model was used to assist native Hawaiian taro growers across the State in determining the economic feasibility of farming wet land taro. One used the existing program to secure OHA financing for the acquisition of farm land, along with adjacent historical and culturally significant sites.
The model is published on the Hawaiian Agricultural Products Website. For a demonstration, visit http://hawaiianagriculturalproducts.com.

Nicholas Jarecki was in trouble: He couldn't come up with the perfect line for Susan Sarandon to say to Richard Gere for a particular scene in "Arbitrage." He needed a catchphrase a business tycoon would have invented. But as a film writer and director (and producer), rather than a tycoon, he just didn't have it.
But he did have his actors. "What takes me a week alone in a dark room can be built in an hour by an actor," he says. "I had all this garbage, trying to come up with that line — 'confidence equals contracts' — and I said, 'Susan, can you come up with something?' And boom: She had it, and it's in."
Going out on a limb as a writer-director — otherwise known as the auteur approach to filmmaking — is a risk. Many combo writer-directors couldn't imagine doing it differently — Benh Zeitlin, who adapted Lucy Alibar's play to make "Beasts of the Southern Wild" for the screen went the auteur route for his first film, noting, "Words and visuals to me are so connected it would be hard to do a movie any other way. I couldn't imagine making a film I didn't write."

Camp Observations: Saturday (Team Blue)
I spent the practice session watching Team Blue. I'll watch Team White Sunday. The following individual opinions are based on what I saw in practice today, as well as the scrimmage. Not a lot to go on, but some players stood out one way or another. Blue won the scrimmage 3-1.
Cory Conacher [3] – It's possible he stood out more than any other player today in the scrimmage. Granted, few veteran forwards played in the scrimmage, but he definitely stood out and Guy Boucher singled him out after practice was over. He was smart offensively finding open spaces and darting in and out of areas. He had two breakaways, but struggled with a bouncing puck both times. On one break, he tried to beat Nagle low 5-hole and stuff it under him, but Nagle smothered it. He was very good on the backcheck. Very quick with good straightaway speed, too. He knocked a forward over while backchecking in front of his own bench in the first half of the scrimmage. He made a nice move around Marc-Andre Bergeron [4], unafraid of the middle of the ice in the offensive zone, for a scoring chance, but the puck was pokechecked away. He's small, there's no question about it. He was standing beside Martin St. Louis [5] in one drill and he and Marty looked each other in the eye. How strong he gets will determine how far he goes. I asked Boucher if there was a possibility an NHL deal could be in Conacher's future (he's on an AHL deal with Norfolk right now). Boucher gave the politically correct answer for a coach, while smiling, saying they "always want to add good players.â€
Brett Connolly [6] – Connolly was also singled out by Boucher for his good play, but more so for his rookie camp and overall impression on the staff rather than his scrimmage performance. He certainly thinks the game well and knows how to score. He had a tap-in goal in rush drills and his shots were fairly accurate and strong. In the scrimmage he didn't stand out, per say. He ended up behind goaltender Jaroslav Janus [7] on one sequence while trying for a tip-in goal. Bergeron may have forced him back there as the two were tied up. Boucher told me the is a "big, big difference†with Connolly this camp compared to last. I'll have more from Boucher on Connolly in the coming days.
Philip-Michael Devos [8] – Has a good shot, but was a little heavy in his skating. Didn't stand out one way or another in the scrimmage.
Steve Downie [9] – Downie actually struggled early in practice with receiving the puck while on the rush. The first time I ignored it, the second time it raised an eyebrow, then he was alone in front and couldn't handle a pass in time to bury it. In a game, you'd look back at the play as a definite missed opportunity. It's early. He had a 2 on 0 goal later in the drill. He did not participate in the scrimmage.
Adam Hall [10] – He took his glove off to introduce himself to Ondrej Palat [11] and shake his hand, showing good veteran leadership. He was very vocal on the ice in both drills and the scrimmage. He played with Tyrell and his new friend Palat in the scrimmage.
Alex Hutchings [12] – Sat out the scrimmage, watching from the glass in front of me. I didn't notice him much in the drills.
Tyler Johnson [13] – Very smart player who knows how to find open spaces and distribute the puck. He knocked Bergeron off the puck once to create a scoring chance in the scrimmage. He earned praise from Boucher for his rookie camp. Small and skinny, but a fluid, agile skater.
Eric Neilson [14] – He didn't do much in the scrimmage. Struggled to stay in the play at times.
Michel Ouellet [15] – He was with Tyrell and Shannon at certain times in the scrimmage. He had some creative plays, but didn't stand out.
Ondrej Palat – I like his shot, which is very quick and heavy. He doesn't have a lot of speed, but thinks the game well. He beat Roloson with a nice shot in drills, sneaking a puck inside the post when Roloson thought he was going 5-hole.
Richard Panik [16] - Had a nice goal over Roloson early in drills and let out a "wooo!" He later got his elbow up on Landry and knocked him out of the day's activities. Panik scored a nice goal on a penalty shot, but left me wanting more from him. He passed up a glorious shot opportunity for a drop-pass, something that likely wouldn't go over well in film study were this the regular season and he was with the big club.
Tom Pyatt [17] – Good speed and grit. Plays a nice north-south game like Tyrell. Good on puck retrieval and throwing it into the crease.
Ryan Shannon [18] – He stood out in the scrimmage and during drills. He scored after trying a wraparound, then hammering in a rebound on Nagle. Made a very nice backcheck to separate the man from the puck in rush drills. He's a nice addition.
Martin St. Louis – Was robbed by Nagle in one rush drill, then made him look silly a few minutes later. Did not participate in the scrimmage.
Steven Stamkos [19] – The Lightning's Fabio was typical Stamkos. What I liked seeing was him staying with Charles Landry [20] after Landry was down for several minutes with a head injury. Stamkos escorted him and the trainers off the ice when he didn't have to. Was the only player to do so.
Dana Tyrell [21] – Had a few scoring chances in the scrimmage, but didn't convert. They weren't Grade-A chances, though. He's in a battle for a fourth line spot and needs to have a big camp. He's still on his entry level contract, so he can be sent to Norfolk without going through waivers. That could be a factor in decision-making.
James Wright [22] – Didn't stand out too much in the scrimmage. He seems to be playing a mostly defensive role, though he got involved occasionally in the offense. For some reason I thought he was playing for White in the scrimmage.
Mark Barberio [23] – I thought Barberio had a great day. He was consistently rushing the puck and getting involved in the offense. I thought he showed good speed, too, which was good to see for him. He created several scoring chances for Blue because of his rushes. He wasn't shy about pinching in, either. He had a nice poke-check defensively, too.
Brett Clark [24] – Did not play in the scrimmage.
Bruno Gervais [25] – Was solid in the scrimmage.
Radko Gudas [26] – He didn't hit anyone in the scrimmage that I saw, which was probably a good thing for the forwards. Standing next to him, he's built like a fire hydrant. Solid.
Victor Hedman [27] – In drills he insisted on playing the left side every time, making whoever was with him switch. Poised with the puck. Good, as always. He did not play in the scrimmage.
Scott Jackson [28] – I didn't notice him out there. I'm not sure he played.
Adam Janosik [29] – He and Hutchings were watching the last part of the scrimmage together. I didn't notice him much in drills.
Pavel Kubina [30] – He played in the scrimmage, but didn't do anything impactful either way. He looked like a vet playing in a training camp scrimmage – let's just all take it easy here.
Charles Landry – He took an elbow from Richard Panik in a non-hitting drill and got his bell rung. Word is a concussion is possible, but he was undergoing further evaluation. Boucher said Landry showed well at rookie camp.
Mathieu Garon [31] – Didn't face a lot of action in the scrimmage. He came out to cut down an angle on Ashton, I believe, and easily sticked the puck to the corner.
Dwayne Roloson [32] – He filled in for Tokarski on Blue. He was beaten on a tip-in goal by Mike Angelidis [33] after Richard Petiot [34] let it fly from the point. Nothing to worry about with that goal. It happens.
(Team White observations will be posted later tonight)

Hartnell, Predators look for consistency vs. Stars
NHL Headlines
Scott Hartnell has played for 17 seasons in the NHL. Tuesday night was his 1,190th game, and it was one of the wildest he's ever been involved in as the Nashville Predators blew a 3-0 lead, then scored twice in the last 77 seconds to dump the Philadelphia Flyers 6-5.
"It was exciting to see the fans get what they paid for," Hartnell said. "It was a great start to the game. Up 3-0, the game should be shut down at that point. Some sloppy play led to them taking over the game. You're not going to come back like that against a lot of teams in this league."
Which means that consistency is what the 35-year old Hartnell and the Predators are looking for Thursday night when they host the Dallas Stars in Bridgestone Arena.
Like Nashville, Dallas is 1-2-0. Also like the Predators, the Stars picked up their first win at home on Tuesday night, knocking off Detroit 4-2. Unlike Nashville, Dallas has played at a level pleasing to new coach Ken Hitchcock.
The veteran bench boss, who tied the late Al Arbour for third place in NHL history Tuesday night with his 782nd career win, liked that his team married result to process.
"I thought this was the best balance we've had," Hitchcock said. "This looked like something you could really build on. We look like we could deal people some body blows, and that's the way we're built. I think the players are starting to understand that."
A trendy pick to win the Central after a terrific offseason in which it landed goalie Ben Bishop and center Alex Radulov, Dallas started with 2-1 and 4-2 losses to Vegas and St. Louis in which it did things well enough to win, but just couldn't find the back of the net often enough.
The hiring of Hitchcock, fired in early February by St. Louis in what was supposed to be his final season with the Blues, appears to have brought a more defensive approach to the Stars. They have for several years been explosive offensively but deficient on the back end.
That description could also fit the Predators' performance in their home opener. They scored the first three goals and the last three goals, storming the Philadelphia zone during late power plays for the tying and winning markers, but also permitted five goals in a span of less than 17 minutes bridging the second and third periods.
"I think from after the 12-minute mark until after the 40-minute mark, we weren't very good," Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. "There's certainly positives to take from the game tonight, and then there's things we will continue to work on."
The Predators have allowed 13 goals in their first three games, something they will have to cut down on in order to position themselves for a division title and a long playoff run. But Hartnell, in his second stint with the team, and Filip Forsberg each scored two goals against the Flyers.
Nashville is hoping captain Roman Josi and center Colton Sissons (lower-body injuries) can return to the lineup. Both sat out Tuesday night.

Modern motorcycle engines are high compression, high performance engines that operate at high engine revolutions and generate a lot of heat. This increases the potential for damage and performance loss due to friction. Microlon has a formulation for these engines that boosts performance and helps them last longer. Every motorcycle engine can benefit greatly from a one-time Microlon treatment.
Microlon Engine Treatment Instructions
The aerosol treatment is simple and easy to apply. Just simply spray on mechanical device for smoother operation. Typical applications include fishing reels, bicycle gears, hinges, garage door roller hubs, metal window tracks, filing cabinet and desk tracks, in short, anywhere friction is a nuisance.
Because Microlon Aerosol contains the cleansing agents, it may be harmful to paint finishes and rubber or plastic parts. Do not use on painted surfaces or on rubber or plastic parts. If the spray comes in contact with those surfaces, wipe away with a clean cloth.
The Microlon resin is small enough to be forced into the pore structure of metal and other surfaces. When the Microlon film forms on the metal surface, that surface is then protected from elements that create corrosion, such as dirt, grit, grime and oxygen. The film also helps make clean up easier.

About Mathematics and Proof
Mathematics has two great traditions: computation and proof. Most of your mathematics studies have been devoted to learning computation skills. Calculus is, for example, one of the finest computation tools we have. If you decide to pursue any of a number of science or engineering degrees at UAF, Calculus II is a required class and you will want to take it early in your studies.
- At any given time, there are two exactly opposite points on the Earth where it is exactly the same temperature.
- It is impossible to comb the hairs on a sphere so that all the hairs lie flat.
- Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: every polynomial equation has at least one complex solution. Maybe someone mentioned this to you in an algebra class. Is it true? How would you know?

If they really are leather and not synthetic wannadies then get yourself some QV moisturizer or any other moisturizer said to repair dry or cracked skin. Leather is simply cow skin so if you rub some of that stuff into the hide before putting them on then it will soften the leather up just enough to make it stretch. Dow it over a few week - when they fit comfortably: Stop!
Don't overdoo it or you might weaken the cobblery!

HOLIDAY HOW-TO: Create a Christmas Wreath Updo
A staple of the holidays, the wreath can also be created as a hair style. MODERN interviewed Nada Yono of Nadwa Hair Spa on how she created this beautiful Christmas wreath updo. "Be prepared to take a couple hours out of your day to create this style. It takes a long time, but in the end it's worth it!" says Yono.
STEP #1: Start with level 11 synthetic hair extensions and mix together equal parts Pravana green and yellow hair color. Apply the color to the hair extensions and let them process for five minutes. "When you are working with wig or extension hair, it doesn't take long to process, says Yono.)
STEP #2: Rinse out the hair color and dry the hair.
STEP #3: Create a side ponytail on your model's head. (You can choose to color her hair green, or you keep the model's hair the same hair color.)
STEP #4: Take a round piece of Styrofoam (which will be the base of your wreath) and wrap the synthetic green hair around the wreath, 1" at a time.
STEP #5: Accessorize the wreath with Christmas lights.
STEP #6: Put the wreath on the hair and then with the remaining ponytail hair, incorporate it into the wreath. Create a bun on top of the head and blend it into the style.

1. The polarity of the XLR terminal has been modified to improve compatibility with external audio devices. The pin configuration has been modified to be consistent with the description in the Instruction Manual.
Firmware Version 22.214.171.124 is for XA10 camcorder with Firmware Version 220.127.116.11. If your camcorder's firmware is already Version 126.96.36.199, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
Once the camcorder is updated to the latest version, it cannot be restored to a previous version.
Preparations for the Firmware Update:
After the Firmware update has been performed, the camcorder's menu settings will be reset. It is recommended that users save their menu settings as settings data to an SD card, separate from the one that will be used to carry out the update, before starting update operations. This saved data can be loaded into the camcorder and the settings can be changed after the update has been completed. For further information on this, please refer to the section in the unit's Instruction Manual titled "Saving and Loading Menu Settings".
The downloaded folder contains the firmware (file name: VHE1.FIM / file size: 21,946,970 bytes), and instructions on the firmware update procedures (a PDF file in five languages: Japanese, English, French, Spanish and Simplified Chinese). Before starting the firmware update operations, please be sure to carefully confirm your understanding of these instructions.
The following items are required to perform this firmware update:
1. An XA10 camcorder body
2. A computer (OS: Windows)
OS Requirements: Windows® 8, Windows® 7 SP1, Windows Vista™ SP2, Windows® XP SP3
3. A 32 MB or higher-capacity SD memory card or an SDHC memory card (both commercially available)
4. An SD card reader/writer (commercially available) or an SD card slot built into the computer
5. A fully charged battery pack for the camera
6. Compact power adapter bundled with the camera
7. The firmware (the downloaded file)
Q: What are the changes of Firmware Version 220.127.116.11?
A: The polarity of the XLR terminal has been modified to improve compatibility with external audio devices. The pin configuration has been modified to be consistent with the description in the Instruction Manual. Before the Firmware update, the pin configuration for the XLR jack was (pin1: shield, pin2: cold, pin3: hot). After the Firmware update, the pin configuration for the XLR jack will be (pin1: shield, pin2: hot, pin3: cold). The XLR pin configuration meets the international AES standard recommendation. The firmware update will avoid the scenario where use of the unit in combination with a device of different polarity than the XLR terminals would result in reduced sound levels due to a reversal of the phase relationship.

Vic Dunlop, a zany and irreverent standup comic with a natural flair for making people laugh, has died. He was 62.
Dunlop died of complications of diabetes Saturday at Glendale Adventist Medical Center, said his wife, Linda.
After launching his career in Los Angeles in the early 1970s with Natural Gas, a small comedy-improv group that appeared regularly on "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert," Dunlop gained national attention on his own later in the decade as one of the comedians on "Make Me Laugh."
In one attempt to crack up a contestant, Dunlop, then weighing 280 pounds, dressed up like a baked potato: He was covered head-to-toe in tinfoil and topped off with a scoop of sour cream on his head.
Dunlop was said to have set a record for making a contestant laugh the fastest -- two seconds -- by climbing on top of the ledge that separated the contestant from the comedians and acting like a pigeon.
He began his solo standup career as a prop comic. But after his bag of props was stolen backstage one night at a comedy club, he was forced to do his entire act without props.
One visual aid, however, remained a staple in his act: a pair of plastic, bloodshot eyes that he'd insert over his own eyes.
He'd say, for example, "Show up at LensCrafters and say, ' What the hell happened to my eyes?' "
At the end of the routine, Dunlop would say, "I know you're saying, 'Where can I get these eyeballs?' You can. I'll be in the back selling them for $5 a pair."
He did, packaging them as "Vic Dunlop's Crazy Comic Eyes," sales of which sometimes exceeded what he made performing in small clubs.
Summing up his comedy philosophy in a 1991 interview with The Times, Dunlop said: "I like to have a party, and I include my audience."
Comedian Bill Kirchenbauer said Dunlop was "outrageous, he was loud, he'd scream, he'd make fun of people and make fun of himself. It was a real kind of base humor, basically.
"But the thing is, Vic was really funnier than his material. He got to [audiences] through his charisma and his natural funniness. He could go on stage and do just about anything, and people would laugh."
Comedian Murray Langston, who appeared on "Make Me Laugh" with Dunlop, said, "The one funny thing about him was everything was funny about him -- the way he delivered lines, the way he looked and the way he gestured.
"He was a little bit over the top but all just funny."
Dunlop, who was a regular on Richard Pryor's short-lived 1977 comedy-variety show and a regular on the 1981-82 sitcom "Harper Valley P.T.A.," had small parts in movies such as "Skatetown U.S.A.," "The Devil and Max Devlin," "Meatballs Part II," "Night Patrol" and "Martians Go Home."
He also co-wrote and starred in the 1993 comedy "Breakfast of Aliens."
Dunlop, who lost a leg to diabetes in 2000, continued to headline in clubs across the country and performed at the Riviera in Las Vegas last month.
"Vic never wanted pity," his wife said. "When people would say, 'I'm sorry that you lost your leg,' he'd smile and say, 'It's OK; I got 10 minutes of new material from it.' "
Dunlop was born Nov. 6, 1948, in New York City and moved to Los Angeles as a child. The son of a character actor, whose stage name was Victor Marko, Dunlop attended Catholic school, which gave rise to an early bit in his act in which he would pull the back of his shirt over his head and become Sister Mary Butch, principal of Our Lady of the Most Vicious Blood High School.
After briefly attending Los Angeles City College, Dunlop was drafted into the Army. He went to Vietnam as an infantryman but wound up with a new assignment after seven months. "The Army decided the best way I could help was to cook," he told The Times in 1991.
In addition to his wife of 27 years, Dunlop is survived by his son, Matt; his daughter, April Richards; his mother, Aurora; his brothers, Richard, Alan, Walter and John; his sister, Aurora; and four grandchildren.

Usain Bolt is Hungry for More Gold at the London Games – Hunk of the Day
If you think all runners are just skin and bones, then you haven't seen the Olympic sprinters, and you definitely haven't seen Jamaica's Usain Bolt.
Bolt is currently the best sprinter in the world, holding the World and Olympic records 100 meters, 200 meters, and 4×100 meter relay. He is a five time World and 3 time Olympic gold medalist. His races in the London Games this year are highly anticipated after he lost to Yohan Blake in the 100-meter Jamaican Olympic trials.
Even if you won't be rooting for Jamaica in this summer's Olympic games, you must check out Bolt. This world class athlete is one hunk you wont want to miss. And for more of Usain Bolt, just watch the track in London. Don't blink though, or you might miss him.

About Identity
What if every choice we ever make was already made for us? What if there really were no coincidences in life and our destinies were already predetermined? Ten strangers with secrets are brought together in a savage rainstorm: A limo driver (John Cusack), an '80s TV star (Rebecca DeMornay), a cop (Ray Liotta) who is transporting a killer (Jake Busey), a call girl (Amanda Peet), a pair of newlyweds(Clea DuVall and William Lee Scott) and a family in crisis (John C. McGinley, Leila Kenzle, Bret Loehr), all take shelter at a desolate motel run by a nervous night manager (John Hawkes). Relief in finding shelter is quickly replaced with fear as the ten travelers begin to die, one by one. They soon realize that, if they are to survive, they'll have to uncover the secret that has brought them alltogether..

We watched a historic comeback last night. Down seven, the Red Sox blitzed the Rays to stay alive and send the ALCS back to Tampa down 3-to-2. The Red Sox have Beckett and Lester going the next two games, Saturday and Sunday, so it's not crazy to be thinking they might pull it off again.
Do you believe that will happen or will the Rays' magic ride continue?

Luc Warnant studied at the École Supérieure des Arts Saint-Luc in Liège, but quit after only one year. He subsequently went to work in the studio of Édouard Aidans, where he drew the characters 'Pouf et Poil au nez'. He also published two pages in Spirou's Carte Blanche section in 1974. He worked as the assistant of André Beckers and Mittéï, and was at one point offered to continue Maurice Tillieux's detective series 'Gil Jourdan'.
The publisher asked him to come up with a character of his own however, and Warnant returned on the pages of Spirou with 'Timothée Octave Wang' (also known as 'T.O. Wang') in 1981. He wrote and drew two long stories with the character until 1984 and then teamed up with Tome to create the successful action series 'Soda' in 1986. Although the series about a New York police officer who dresses as a priest to mislead his mother was an instant hit, Warnant handed it over to Bruno Gazzotti in the middle of the third story to focus on advertising assignments.
Warnant has since made sculptures, designed 3D characters for animation ('Tristan et Iseult') and worked as an art director for a Luxembourg-based firm. He is also a teacher in 3D modeling and sculpting with the Haut École Albert Jacquard in Namur, Belgium.

Industry News
Who Picks the Oscar Nominations for Hair & Make-up and How
She is not likely to toot her own horn so MODERN will. Linda Flowers, inventor of the Top Styler, has enough Hair Department Head credits to her name in substantial, Oscar-worthy films including The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, The Social Network, There Will Be Blood and so many more, that she is a voting member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences and one of the expert eyes fixed on the Oscar race. Flowers and other voting members of The Academy determined the nominees for the 2014 Achievement in Makeup and Hairstyling Oscar. They are:
Dallas Buyers Club (make-up and hairstyling for the film in its entirety): Robin Mathews and Adruitha Lee
Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (make-up and hairstyling for the Irving Zisman character): Steve Prouty
The Lone Ranger (make-up and hairstyling for the film in its entirety): Joel Harlow and Gloria Pasqua-Casny, Make-up department head
The process of determining these nominees involves time, review and intimate understanding of the process of designing hair and makeup looks for film. Flowers took time to speak to MODERN about how it's done.
"There is a committee made up of a handful of Academy members who review all the films and then narrow it down to seven films they feel are Oscar-worthy," explains Flowers. "They arrive at that number after hearing the hair and makeup teams present their movies. They come, bring a book, and talk about what went into creating the looks. Then we go through a process of elimination and at the end of the day, we pick our favorite seven. Then they announce a week later and those seven are invited to go to, what we call, the Bake Off. This happens in a theatre, where they play clips of the seven films, and they present again to The Academy and talk about their film. Then, we vote and narrow it down to the three. Dallas Buyers Club really shined at the Bake Off because their story is so emotional and I think The Academy voted for the underdog. The film was made in four weeks and the hair department had a budget of $250.00. It was Kamikaze-style student filming. Mathew (McConnaughey) lost 45 pounds and it was a big discussion with the people that vote on whether the transformation was makeup or just a weight loss. The girls that did it had a chance plead their case in front of us at the Bake Off. They changed his hair, did a lot of contouring, and used old-school techniques like using oatmeal to make his face look dry and cracked."
There was some online chatter and disbelief over American Hustle being overlooked when the Hair and Makeup Nominations were announced and Flowers explains it this way.
"A lot of the people who have gotten into The Academy have been recognized for their special effects skills. Movies heavy on prosthetics get a lot of attention because it takes skill, artistry, knowledge of chemicals, and products. So The Academy loves special effects; very rarely will a movie get voted in for just pretty makeup. The hair was fantastic in American Hustle but the Academy favored aging makeup this year. If the award was just for hair, they would have gotten in but it is hair and makeup taken together."
The Lone Ranger was nominated, specifically for Johnny Depp's makeup as Tonto. "Johnny's aging makeup was brilliant," says Flowers. "They aged his whole body. The Academy loved it."
Flower's film Catching Fire made it to the Bake Off because, she says, she and her team made the wigs like Effie's gold wig. But, in the end, "I'm not sure they knew what to make of it because it couldn't be slotted into a specific genre. It's not a period film, it wasn't heavy on special effects, but it was intense hair and makeup."

The Scriptures are the blueprints for living a life pleasing to God, not man-made rules, regulations or traditions, which usurp the authority and intent of the Scriptures. If your group of believers chooses to build, buy or rent a physical structure in which to meet and worship, then please do so, but do not condemn others who may choose differently.
Remember, we have explicit instructions: "And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all." (1 Corinthians 12:5-6)

This is a payroll/accounts company that receives payment for contract workers. On receipt of payment of invoice, an onward payment to the contract worker is made, using every conceivable priority method available through banking to ensure that payment is received by the contract worker, in whatever currency, in whatever part of the world they wish. Hence the idea behind the two globes (either side of the globe), and the ellipse running around it.
More defined globes, perhaps showing better colour definition for land and sea and maybe some mountain contours? The ellipse looking like it is moving around the globes at a fast-pace (nothing animated). Perhaps also, a white star-burst on the ellipse, just before the right hand globe on the lower part of the ellipse (but I'll leave that decision up to your expert opinions). Company name and slogan can be of any font definition, as long as the font is available for us to use without licence.

SOURCE: Helix BioPharma Corp
January 24, 2013 18:12 ET
AURORA, ON--(Marketwire - Jan 24, 2013) - Helix BioPharma Corp. (TSX: HBP) (FRANKFURT: HBP) ("Helix"), a biopharmaceutical company developing drug candidates for the prevention and treatment of cancer, announces that its Annual General and Special Meeting (the "Shareholder Meeting") was held today as scheduled.
At the Shareholder Meeting, Helix received approval of 100% of the votes cast by shareholders present, in person or by proxy, for the special resolution approving the sale of its Rivex Pharma division to Pharmascience Inc. ("Pharmascience") for gross cash proceeds of up to $8.5 million, subject to adjustment (the "Rivex Transaction").
Robert Verhagen, Chief Executive Officer, said of the result, "We are pleased that Helix's shareholders have provided such a strong endorsement of the Rivex Transaction. The transaction will enable Helix to focus its management and financial resources on its cancer therapeutics products, including its ongoing clinical trial with L-DOS47, a drug candidate for treatment of non-small cell lung cancer." The Rivex Transaction was initially announced by Helix via news release on December 10, 2012 and remains subject to certain customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close on January 25, 2013.
Shareholders approved the election of William B. White, Robert A. Verhagen, Mario Gobbo, Marek Orlowski, Slawomir Majewski, John A. Rogers and Slawomir Ludwikowski as directors at the Shareholder Meeting. Shareholders also approved a special resolution approving an amendment to Helix's Articles moving Helix's registered office to Ontario.
KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants, were appointed as auditors. However, a significant percentage of proxies received prior to the Shareholder Meeting withheld from voting on the appointment of auditors. The board of directors expects to meet with shareholders in the near future to better understand the reasons for this action, and the board will take appropriate action based on these discussions with shareholders.
At a board meeting held after the Shareholder Meeting, the newly-elected directors considered the structure of the board and the composition of the board committees. Mr. Gobbo was appointed as Chair of the new board.
"It has been a privilege to serve as Chair over the last ten months," said Mr. White. "Now that the business has stabilized, it is time to work on the next phase of Helix's development. I look forward to continuing my work as a director on the board."
"I thank Bill for his leadership," said Mr. Gobbo, "and I look forward to working with the board and management on the development and funding of Helix's proprietary technologies."
About Helix BioPharma Corp.
Helix BioPharma Corp. is a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the field of cancer therapy. Helix is actively developing innovative products for the prevention and treatment of cancer based on its proprietary technologies. Helix's product development initiatives include its novel L-DOS47 new drug candidate and its Topical Interferon Alpha-2b. Helix is currently listed on the TSX and FSE under the symbol "HBP."
