Baton Rouge, LA 70817
Don't let the location in the Barringer Foreman Crossing fool you. While the outside shell sits within an upscale retail park, this newer, larger location has managed to perfectly capture the feeling and warmth of our original location. Dim lights, New Orleans-style black and white tile, exposed brick and a beautiful red-rouge color scheme set off the gorgeous 100-year-old beams that frame the dining room. A little quieter than downtown, it's great for a romantic meal for two or even the entire family.

Big men are amazing. In particular, I like to be held in the arms of a big man...I feels very safe, and protected. When I was younger ( and thinner ) the big men never approached me...now I am bigger, but older...so all the men leave me alone lol...this is a no win !!! LOL
I like big men and prefer bigger men to the physcially fit guys. I mean eye candy is great but at the end of the day I just feel more safe and secure with a bigger guy. I like my men with a little meat on there body. Thats sexy to me!

Peek into the kitchen of many a Fine Cooking contributor and you'll see a glossy black cast-iron skillet parked on the stove. Author Bruce Aidells prefers a cast-iron skillet for searing steaks, and we use ours for a zillion other things. Here are some of our favorites:
- Pan-frying chicken or potatoes.
- Stir-frying on the grill or campfire.
- Slow-sautéing vegetables, especially onions and peppers.
- Cooking bacon (it seasons the pan as it cooks).
- Sear-roasting just about anything (the pan goes from stovetop to oven with ease).
- Baking cornbread.
- Toasting nuts, seeds and spices.
Season it right
Cast iron is porous, so new pans need to be "seasoned" with oil to keep foods from sticking. For the initial seasoning, most manufacturers recommend coating the pan with a bit of shortening and baking for an hour or more. Here's how:
Heat the oven to 350°F. Meanwhile, heat your pan on the stovetop until hot. With a thick wad of paper towels, spread 1 to 2 teaspoons of lard, bacon grease, or solid vegetable shortening all over the inside and outside of the pan. Apply a very thin coating of fat—too much grease and you'll end up with a gummy residue in your pan.
Put the pan upside down on the center rack of the oven for 1-1/2 hours. (Slide a baking sheet or piece of aluminum foil onto the rack beneath the pan to catch any drips.) Turn off the heat and let the pan sit in the oven until cool. The pan won't be deep black right away but will develop a dark patina with regular use.
Preserve the patina
Once the pan is seasoned, it's quite simple to maintain. Some say that washing cast iron destroys the seasoning; these folks prefer to just wipe the pan clean, using coarse salt as an abrasive for cooked-on residue. From our experience, though, that's often not enough. So in the Fine Cooking test kitchen, we wash our cast iron with soap and water and immediately towel it dry. Next, we set it on a burner on medium heat until the pan is hot and completely dry. While the pan is still hot, we use a paper towel to spread a thin coating of vegetable oil on the interior. With this extra attention, our cast iron stays perfectly seasoned.
Cast-iron 10-1/4-inch skillets (like the one shown) are available for about $14 from LodgeMfg.com. Lodge also sells pre-seasoned pans for a little more.

Daniel Tammet
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Daniel Tammet (born 31 January 1979) is a British high-functioning autistic savant gifted with a facility for mathematical and natural language learning. In his memoir, Born on a Blue Day, he wrote of how having epilepsy, synaesthesia and Asperger Syndrome all affected his childhood.
Born on a Blue Day (2006)[edit]
- My algebra was relatively poor. I found it very difficult to use equations that substituted numbers — to which I had a synesthetic and emotional response — for letters, to which I had none. It was because of this that I decided not to continue math at Advanced level, but chose to study history, French and German instead.
- Chapter 6: Adolescence.
- I had eventually come to understand that friendship was a delicate, gradual process that mustn't be rushed or seized upon but allowed and encouraged to take its course over time. I pictured it as a butterfly, simultaneously beautiful and fragile, that once afloat belonged to the air and any attempt to grab at it would only destroy it.
- Chapter 8: Falling in Love.
Bookreview by Jim Withers, Canwest News Service, June 8 2009[edit]
- My relationship with scientists has changed. Now, they consider me more of a peer than a guinea pig, and I'm part of the scientific discussion.
- When someone asks me, "Do you speak Breton or Inuktitut?" I say, "Not yet."

Michael Gelbman: A commitment to community
From time to time as publisher of your community newspaper, I feel it's important to provide an update on what we're up to at the Sierra Sun and North Lake Tahoe Bonanza.
The future looks bright. Like many businesses, over the past few years we have had to make some difficult decisions; however, we have adapted, and we work very hard to consistently provide both breaking news coverage and quality community reporting.
Our editorial staff produces three print editions a week and provides coverage most days and evenings online, and, as you've recently read, both the Sun and Bonanza win awards annually from the California and the Nevada press associations.
With the economy slowly turning around — not withstanding our lack of a winter — we have seen this hard work translate into new advertisers, and it's grown our excitement about the greater North Shore/Truckee community and its future.
One of the things we aspire to do each day is to be involved in the community. We regularly recognize the outstanding businesses and organizations that help make this such a wonderful place to call home. Without bragging too much, I'd like to let you know our activities in building communities are not confined to just reporting about them.
Each of our account executives works with or is a board member of a local association — Susan Kokenge, Truckee Downtown Merchants Association; Carolyn O'Connor, West Shore Business Association; Stacy Collins, Incline Village Board of Realtors; and Michelle Geary, Contractors Association of Truckee Tahoe and the Incline Community Business Association.
Further, I am an executive board member of both the Tahoe City Downtown Association and North Tahoe Business Association, and serve on several committees.
This level of involvement allows us to be a part of larger conversations, and to help these organizations extend their message through our monthly community pages and partnerships.
We also have forged partnerships with the Truckee Tahoe Community Foundation and the Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation, allowing both the opportunity to share success stories through their weekly "Making a Difference" and "Tahoe Matters" features.
These stories are not a call to action for donations — rather, they give a voice to those organizations or individuals for whom donations made a difference.
In addition, we support many individual nonprofit organizations, providing a forum to help them tell their stories and keep their message top of mind.
We also have a real passion for literacy, a hallmark by which all true community newspapers should live. We have formed a partnership with Charlie Riley, owner of the Truckee Hometown Sears, for our local Teacher of the Year program.
Editor Kevin MacMillan has a grown a partnership with North Tahoe and Truckee high schools to help produce the Laker Lately and Wolverine student papers, and we have a similar partnership with Sierra Nevada College to insert the Eagle's Eye.
In addition, we have set up a Scholarship for Schools fund with local partners, and this year we provided local students a chance to spend a free day at the Discovery Museum in Reno. We're working with the KidZone Museum in Truckee to provide the same opportunity.
In the end, we care about all this because this is what a community newspaper does — we help to inform and create conversation within the community.
I am very proud of the products we produce, and of my staff who work long hours producing them. While we always strive to be better, I feel we provide our communities with professional content that is worth the read.
And none of it would be possible without the communities we serve. It is your support that allows us to keep putting out the local news, and I thank you dearly for that.
Michael Gelbman is publisher of the Sierra Sun and North Lake Tahoe Bonanza. He may be reached for comment at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Random obligatory post title
It seems that time has gotten away from me again. It's not that I've forgotten about you guys, it's just that…well, okay, I'll confess: I haven't been playing many games lately. I know! I feel so dirty. But it's true. Although my game backlog is longer than the list of plotholes in Final Fantasy X-2, I've been occupying my time with other hobbies. And class. And work.
There is one game that I've been chipping away at every so often for the last…I don't know…two or three years, and that's Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. I am determined to beat this game sometime in my life span, even though it is obnoxiously long and repetitive. Don't get me wrong — it's completely addictive. But each in-game day takes me an average of 15 minutes of real time to complete. There are 30 days per season, four seasons per year, and three years necessary to "beat" the game. That's something like 90 hours of real time if my math is correct. Compared to the number of hours I've spent in Oblivion it isn't much, but that doesn't mean it's not daunting and kind of pathetic.
I'm sure I could think up a host of sordid backstories for the Harvest Moon cast to entertain you guys, but I hope you'll forgive me if I don't put in the effort. The silent farmer "hero" has less personality than the entire cast of Chrono Cross put together. Of course, he did manage to marry and knock up the town alcoholic — who looks like she's twelve — without sleeping in the same bed as her, so maybe I've misjudged him.
The other "news" item which I must mention is, naturally, Gyakuten Kenji. Or Gaykuten Kenji, if you want to keep the VGR naming scheme consistent. This title roughly translates to "Gay-Ass Prosecutor" and you apparently get to play as Miles Edgeworth. So it seems that there are guilty defendants in the Phoenix Wright universe. Who knew? More importantly, since Gumshoe appears to be the sidekick, we will likely be treated to many awkward moments of unrequited gay lust and hero worship. And what better recapping fodder is there?
Also, just to create some discussion — what other fuchsia items will we discover that Edgeworth owns? So far, there are his outfits, his entire office, his knife, his pink DS, his pink apron, and I think I saw something somewhere with a fuchsia bejeweled address book, although that may have been fanart (not that it would be any less accurate). Any guesses what we'll find out that will make Edgeworth even gayer?

New and improved teen center spurs community pride in Landfall
Family Means' Teen Center in Landfall recently reopened after an extensive interior facelift.
The teen center -- housed in a second-story loft space near the eastern shore of Tanners Lake -- has been a focal point of community activities for young people since it opened its doors in 1999.
While small in size, the center provides a supervised space for Landfall teens to gather and socialize. FamilyMeans, a Stillwater-based nonprofit organization, offers free after-school and summer programs for Landfall teens in the loft space, including homework help and several arts, sports and learning activities, as well as field trips and volunteer projects. The lower level has a full-service bike shop, where kids learn to repair bicycles and can earn a bike of their own.
FamilyMeans Teen Center coordinator Paul Shanafelt says the interior space was gutted, and over the course of about six months workers and volunteers transformed the small space. The new and improved teen center now has a full kitchen, new flooring and windows, a fresh coat of paint and a deck with views of the lake.
It also features some new technology, including a computer station with iPads, a gaming system, a security system and even a 3D printer.
The renovation project cost about $70,000, not including the new technology. FamilyMeans did receive a large financial gift to cover part of the cost, as well as a passenger van and new windows donated by Andersen Windows, but local teens rolled up their sleeves and pitched in to complete much of the work.
"Kids put in a lot of their own sweat equity into the project," Shanafelt says. "They were a big part of the design phase and helped with some of the woodworking and interior painting."
One of those kids is a shy sixth-grader named Kris, who says the teen center now has more space and separate areas for different activities.
"You can walk around easier and there's more to do," he explains.
Kris took an immediate liking to the new recording studio and has already been working on recording a few hip-hop songs with his friend Santos.
Shanafelt helps foster this type of creativity. A University of Minnesota graduate with a degree in youth studies, he has a background in teaching and engineering live sound. He enjoys sharing his knowledge and passion for music with kids in the small recording studio he designed.
Tom Yuska, FamilyMeans director of youth programs, says the kids are proud of the teen center.
It's a place that inspires teens to be active in their community - many volunteer, helping with service projects.
He says in days past many kids were reluctant to tell their classmates that they lived in Landfall, a manufactured home community. Now a lot of kids bring their friends from neighboring suburbs to show off their youth center, and many proudly wear their neighborhood soccer league jerseys to school.
"This place has brought a lot of community pride here. It gets kids invested in their community," Yuska says.
He said an exterior paint job will cap the teen center's renovations later this summer.

Jeff McCord is a well-known name within the retro gaming crowd. Over 25 years ago, he created one of the most challenging "Roguelike" dungeon-crawlers for the Commodore 64, called Sword of Fargoal. Since then, he's managed to remake the original title for iOS-based devices, as well as obtain "Best Retro Game (iPad division)" within the 2010 Best App Ever Awards. Climbing upon that success, McCord and his team have been working hard on the sequel to the hit title.
In a curious move, McCord decided to forego his close ties with big-firm publishers, and keep his Fargoal team small. Keeping with the indie development ideal is something important to them, as it means they have a better chance at including more of the features that the fans have been clamoring for. The team itself consists of developer Paul Pridham (Saucelifter, Punch Quest), animator Charlie Canfield, and composer Daniel Pemberton (LittleBIGPlanet).
While McCord may be shying away from the big publishers for this particular endeavor, that hasn't stopped the team from aiming quite high with the sequel to Sword of Fargoal. As their Kickstarter campaign mentions multiple times, everything for this iteration is geared towards those who want to dive into the world and achieve the most from it. That's why this time around, there's 100 randomly generated dungeons, providing a new and unique experience every time you play the game.
The game itself is pretty straightforward. As the player, you'll be able to select from different character classes, which include Fighter, Ranger, Thief and Magic User. Additionally, you'll be able to choose either a male or female role to descend into the dungeons. McCord does say that more character classes will be coming eventually, but there are very few details at this stage. After picking your class, you'll descend into the dungeons, fight monsters, and find treasure.
With the upgraded graphics, you'll be able to see the character customizations you choose, from armor, to weapon, to amulet, right on the character model.
The Kickstarter for Sword of Fargoal 2 isn't an overly ambitious one. This is due in part to the title already being 80 percent complete. The goal is pinned at $50,000. At the time of publication, there have been 288 backers to the project, which has amassed $8,389 in pledges.
"We spent over a year on Sword of Fargoal 2, and are about 80 percent done, but it is so big, and so ambitious, that we know that we need support from our fans — and new people that discover us — (to) accomplish all we've set out to do," McCord tells GeekWire.
As with all Kickstarters, there are plenty of rewards to obtain with the pledge you provide. It's the "EPIC HERO LEVEL" pledge, which is $50,000, that really grabbed our attention:
""EPIC HERO" LEVEL. There can be only one Epic Hero backer — just like there can be only one Sword of Fargoal. And if you pledge at this level, the real-life Sword will be yours. That's right, an actual broadsword with semi-precious stones in the hilt, designed just for this campaign, will be bestowed upon you by Jeff McCord himself in person. Jeff will also make a personal appearance at dinner, a convention, or other event of your choosing in the USA (travel extra). In addition to the one-and-only true Sword of Fargoal, you'll receive Producer credit in all versions of the game, the orginal artwork of the Fargoal poster, an extremely rare autographed boxed version of the original C64 Sword of Fargoal game. Plus an actual vintage Commodore 64 (C64) computer and monitor! If you're our Epic Hero backer, you will also get a 30 minute Skype call with Jeff and Paul, a custom portrait of YOU as a hero drawn by Charlie Canfield, and one of the songs in the official Sword of Fargoal 2 soundtrack will be named after you. You'll also work directly with Jeff & Paul to come up with a name and description of a new monster, treasure, or weapon in the game. You'll get the rare mini Sword of Fargoal letter opener. And of course you'll get all the Associate Producer perks: a printed retro-style Sword of Fargoal poster, a limited-edition print of the game artwork, a lavishly-bound print version of the Sword of Fargoal game book. Plus you'll get beta access, the Sword of Fargoal 2 game (both the iOS Universal version for iPad and iPhone AND the desktop version for Mac/PC/Linux), the Sword of Fargoal 2 soundtrack, the exclusive Fargoal 2 wallpaper, a SoF2 T-shirt, and access to the backer-only forum. You basically get it all. Plus our undying gratitude."
Not only do you get to help create a revamped version of a popular dungeon-crawler title, but you also get a real sword. Plus, all of the other rewards provided in the lesser pledges, such as multiple copies of the title (for PC/Mac/iOS/Linux), as well as a Commodore 64 system and monitor.
McCord and the team are looking to launch Sword of Fargoal 2 in May of 2013. You can check out their Kickstarter video below.

Londonderry Old Home Day circa 1920s
According to the Londonderry Hometown Online News at http://www.londonderrynh.net/, over 15,000 people attend Londonderry's Old Home Day each year. This is a testament to good old fashioned fun. Not to be competitive, but our Old Home Day is usually held the same weekend as Hudson's celebration (this year Hudson is celebrating one week early). Hudson is located just next door. In fact, their fairgrounds at Alvirne are closer to our own house than Londonderry's fiesta on the town common. But, we like the old fashioned flavor of Londonderry's Old Home Days over Hudson's. No traveling carnival rides, no commercial food vendors (except for the ice cream truck), no questionable games of chance. At our Old Home Days all the games have to be free to all kids- and the few for adults are fundraisers for local organizations. The food, snacks and beverages are all homemade and sponsored by the Boy Scouts, churches, sports teams and civil groups. Don't miss the Lion's BBQ!
2009 Old Home Day Parade in Londonderry, NH
Historically, Old Home Day is an important part of New Hampshire culture. In 1899 New Hampshire Governor Frank Rollins proclaimed the first Old Home Day on the third Saturday in August to bring people back home who had moved to the big cities and out of state for employment or for easier farming out West. There are only about ten communities in New Hampshire that have faithfully carried on the Old Home Day tradition of the third Saturday in August.

Selling Your Home
Using an estate agent – selling a property
If you are selling a property and want to use an estate agent, you will usually sign a contract and have to pay a fee. Find out about finding an estate agent and signing the contract.
Finding an estate agent
If you choose to use an estate agent to help you sell your property, make figure you shop around and find the right company for you. Ask family and friends for recommendations.
Trade organizations for Estate Agents
Choosing an estate agent that is registered with an organization will give you an indication of the standards they will follow in their work. Property organizations set a standard of professional behaviour, which its members have to follow.
All estate agents are bound by the Estate Agents Act
The contract and fees
When you use an estate agent to help you sell a property, you have to sign a legally binding contract. Once signed, you have to stick to the terms of the contract or you could face being taken to court.
Before you sign the contract
Before signing, read the contract carefully and make sure you understand it. Find out whether you have the right to cancel the contract and check how long it will run. It should allow a reasonable length of time to market your property and find potential buyers. Beware of contracts that tie you to an estate agent for a very long time. If you are unsure, get advice from a solicitor or your local advice centre.
Check the meaning of unfamiliar terms
You may come across some unfamiliar terms in a contract. Make sure you understand what you are agreeing to. The terms 'sole agency', 'sole selling rights' and 'ready, willing and able purchaser' must be explained in writing if they are used in a contract. Make sure that you understand how much you will have to pay, when and under what circumstances.
Moving to your new home
There is so much to organize when you move house, so use this checklist to make sure that you've got everything covered. But don't notify anyone of your change of address until the contracts have been exchanged, as the sale can still fall through leaving you to contact everyone again.
Making sure you've covered everything
- Change your Council Tax details
- If you receive benefits have you told your benefit provider?
- Do you need a new doctor or dentist?
- Have you redirected your post to your new address?
- Have you told the utility providers (rates, water, and electricity)?
- Have you updated your driving license and vehicle registration documentation?
- Have you updated your details on the Electoral Register?
- Have you told TV (television) licensing?
- If you have an identity card, have you updated your details?
Property value and valuations
How much you can sell your current home for will be crucial when deciding your next move. It pays to do some research to make sure you achieve the best price in the shortest time.
Conveyancing for sellers
Conveyancing is the process of legally transferring ownership of a property from the seller to the buyer. Conveyancing also includes the various searches and enquiries and any final tasks following the sale. Find out what you need to do and where to find a solicitor or licensed conveyancer to help you.

The sixth edition of the World Sufi Spirit Festival (WSSF), featuring a string of local, national and international artists, kickstarted with a lot of pomp at the Mehrangarh Fort here.
Hosted by the royal family of Jodhpur, the fest started Friday at the Mehrangarh Fort. It will culminate Feb 27 at Ahichhatragarh Fort in Nagaur.
The festival has a mix of music traditions from various parts of the world. Performers from Egypt, Turkey, France, Pakistan, Mongolia and Afghanistan are here to showcase their talent. From India, musicians from Kerala, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan are participating in the fest.
Situated 400 metres above Jodhpur, the venue is a fitting host to music lovers from in and around the country. From locals to foreigners to members of the royal family, everyone was seen enjoying the music at the opening day.
Festival director Alexandra de Cadaval says it is just for the second time that the festival is being held at Jodhpur, but it has already gained popularity.
"We have been very nicely surprised since it is our second edition here in Mehrangarh. We are happy to see that it has already picked up in the second season. It is a very positive beginning for the festival," Cadaval told IANS.
Talking about the variety of music on offer, she said: "It is not just Sufi music here at the festival. There are other forms of music too. We are a Sufi festival, but basically we are focussing on everything that is very much to do with heritage and traditions, that have disappeared, and to promote artists that are not so mainstream."
The opening of the festival Friday saw performances from Harjiram and Okaram Meghwal & Group, Bardic Divas with Ulzan Baibussynova, Raushan Orazbaeva and Nadira Pirmatova, some enthusiastic qwwalli performances by Raza Khan, Chishtiya Group and Irfan Toufail Brothers, The Nile Sufi and others.
But the day saw an exceptional turnout at singer Rabbi Shergill's performance. He sang Bollywood chartbusters like "Challa", "Bulla ki jaana mai kaun", "Tere bin", "Jugni" as well as numbers from his private albums.
He loved the experience. "I am mesmerised by the beauty of the Mehrangarh Fort. It is a perfect backdrop to a musical festival. According to me, Sufi is not restricted to a religion.
"It is a reflection and this inner reflection is nothing but connecting with one's soul. When someone puts this to the forefront, I think it should only be applauded whole-heartedly," said Rabbi.

A law enforcement agency (LEA) is a government agency responsible for the enforcement of the laws. In the Grand Theft Auto series, these agencies, most notably police forces, serve as the protagonist's main border from causing different crimes.
Role and behavior
Law enforcement agencies are used to enforce the laws on the streets. Members of such agencies will become hostile at other pedestrians, should they witness them doing any type of crime. As of result, they will either chase or kill criminals, depending on the situation (i.e. arrest the suspect if they are not hostile, or kill the suspect if threatened).
Under this category comes also the player's character, who can commit a large number of crimes ranging from hijacking to murdering. The attention the player receives from the agencies, and the agencies themselves, depend on the player's wanted level, as local police departments will respond to "small" crimes, while commando units will respond to much more serious scenarios.
In the HD Universe, the player would be mostly chased by members of the local police department; in Grand Theft Auto IV, it is the LCPD, whilst Grand Theft Auto V features the LSPD. Officers at one star will mostly attempt to arrest the player, while officers at two stars may also shoot at the player with any forms of aggression. At three stars, police officers will call Police Mavericks to hunt the player down, and the primary NOOSE units start to dispatch. At four to six stars, most of the police officers will be replaced by the FIB and by military-style reinforcements (NOOSE).

Hi, this is Si. This is a place to host some random useless information.
I do have a blog, and a personal website, in obvious places, but to avoid search engines and their various web crawlers and spiders saving and archiving every single bit of embarrassing information about the part of my personal life I put online under spouts of poor judgment, you won't find them here.
A bit about me:
My theoretical interests: I'm interested in a range of topics including technology, software, economics, politics and political theory, Chinese history, and philosophy (particularly traditional Chinese thought). I am also dabbling in various schools and practices generally labeled "occult".
For actual interests, I enjoy slacking.
For actual skills and knowledge that I can show a proven track record, I am a capable software engineer, system administrator (managing servers etc), and I know a bit about HK and UK law - probably in that order.
In case anyone wants to find me for whatever crazy reasons, any email sent to any * at element14.org address should reach me eventually.

Spanish gold mine discovered?
The "Lost Josephine" mine is a legend in Utah, with treasure hunters everywhere alleging it to contain Spanish gold and silver and skeptics claiming it to be just another treasure hunting fantasy.
Gary Holt, a Summit County resident, believes he may have found the Lost Josephine mine and a bounty that no other prior claimant to the mine has discovered.
The mine, located by Hoyt's Peak in the Uinta Mountains, Holt says is a low-sulfidation epithermal vent directly over the Hoyt Canyon fault line. He claims he has extracted $30 million of what he markets as Goldcite, a form of fibrous calcite.
Holt said the U.S. Forest Service approved his plan of operation to mine at the site in February of this year, which Heber/Kamas District Ranger Jeff Schramm confirmed with The Park Record.
Holt added that previous owners of the mine, who he says could date all the way back to Jesuit priests in 1650, were not able to locate the gold in the mine because of steam and water from a nearby caldera that makes descending into the vent difficult.
Much of the history of the mine is purportedly documented, according to Holt, including a story of a Coalville marshal in the early 1900s who found a Spaniard operating the mine with two slaves.
Tom Flanagan, a Forest Service archaeologist who is familiar with the area, said Holt's claim of mining calcite is just the newest excuse to continue "treasure hunting," not mining, at the site. He said previous holders of the mine claimed there to be gold and emeralds. Those individuals had their permits taken away since nothing was produced.
"When these guys look for their lost Spanish gold, many archaeological sites get looted," Flanagan said. "That mine is a natural feature they have now un-naturalized."
Brandon Holt, Gary's son, was the one who initially discovered the lower portion of the mine that contained the calcite deposits protruding on the cave surface. In the lower portion, he said, there is almost complete darkness, in which he once got lost with friends.
"You don't know dark until you're down there," Brandon Holt said. "It was a harrowing, terrifying experience. But I'm sort of an adrenaline junkie."
Holt said he has sold Goldcite rings that he has made at gem shows, and added that it is a new material that hasn't been shown before. He showed both slabs and jewelry made of Goldcite and is preparing to wholesale it to jewelers.
Holt said, according to a gemologist, Goldcite could sell for $8-12 per karat, and that with the diamond market being weak, he thinks an opportunity could exist for Goldcite to do well.
As far as the claims about gold deposits in the mine, Flanagan didn't buy it.
"If we had those kinds of gold mines in the Uintas, I'd be a rich man," Flanagan said. "A lot of treasure hunters will map on a natural solution cavity and try to purport that it's a historic or ancient mine and then try to mine it."
Brandon Holt, however, said there is a good chance the mine may be the Lost Josephine.
"What clinches the story for me is that by the opening is a wagon trail that leads to a prayer tree," Brandon Holt said, adding the prayer tree was used by the Spanish for religious rituals.
Flanagan said there are many so-called "Lost Josephine" mines and that individuals like Holt are "part of a legacy of guys" that are regulars on treasure hunting websites. He said he knows he is often characterized as a "federal government villain," but maintains that no actual mining has occurred at the site yet.
"We're not trying to ruin people's fantasies," Flanagan said. "The reality is what we see on the ground people with an idea like this, they wind up actually destroying things."
Holt said the gold in the calcite and that gold yet to be discovered in the lower portion near the boiling zone of the site "is still in active development."

State can handle shutdown — for now
The head of Nevada's Department of Administration says the state can handle the federal government shutdown for up to three weeks, but if it goes longer, there will be serious problems.
Gov. Brian Sandoval issued a statement saying he hopes Congress can find a way to move forward, adding, "however, if that does not occur, the state of Nevada is prepared."
Jeff Mohlenkamp said that agencies could survive three weeks; that's how long the shutdown lasted in 1995, when Speaker Newt Gingrich and the GOP House closed the government down.
"The biggest programs we're worried about are SNAP (food stamps), TANF (Welfare) and WIC (nutrition for women, infants and children)," said Jeff Mohlenkamp. In addition, there could be problems for child nutrition, school lunch and commodity foods programs.
"These are critical services because if those don't get funded, people don't eat," Mohlenkamp said.
He said Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and unemployment benefits are mandatory instead of discretionary programs and will be funded through the shutdown.
"In the short run, we're well-positioned to be able to manage, but anything beyond that (three weeks) poses more significant challenges for us," Mohlenkamp said.
"One question we haven't really gotten an answer to yet is whether this will be a delay or a reduction," he said.
The difference is whether, when the government reopens for business, Congress make the states whole, replenishing the money they used to keep programs going during the shutdown.
Mohlenkamp said if the government decides those losses are a reduction that Congress won't make up to the states, "all bets are off."
"That would be a big problem," he said, because the state will have used up what little reserves it has keeping essential programs going.
Mandatory program such as Medicare and Social Security are funded by preset factors and won't be cut off. But discretionary programs can be hurt unless they are "forward funded." Those include such programs as the Children with Disabilities programs and special education, which Mohlenkamp said won't be affected — at least through the end of December.
"Disability services from DETR will have a short-term cash-flow problem, but we've been assured by the federal government they will make us whole so we're continuing those services," he said.
He said TANF funding (Welfare) will be cut off but that welfare division officials have assured him they have sufficient non-federal funding to handle a three-week shutdown.
"Some states are really worried about that," he said.
He said the same is true for the food stamps program, which can survive a short shutdown with cash on hand. But the school lunch, school breakfast and other child nutrition programs are without funding during the shutdown.
Child Care Development is also cut off, as is the Low Income Home Energy Assistance program, but Immunization Grants will continue as will most Head Start programs.
While Medicare, Medicaid and unemployment services will continue, he said he has been advised there may be "some real challenges" for those not already on benefits.
"New access to services or modifying services could be very difficult," he said.
Mohlenkamp said the departments of Transportation and Public Safety are largely unaffected, and there will be no disruption of critical services there.
He said the more global concern is what even a brief shutdown will do to consumer confidence. He said that could put the state's economy back into a slump just when it was looking like it was in recovery.
"If there's a real drop in consumer confidence, it could be serious," he said.

Q: What is supercooling?
Aloma, Warroad, MN
A: Supercooling is uncommon, but it can occur in lakes and ponds, particularly in the northern states. Here's what you need to know about it and how to prevent it from happening.
In the winter time water stratifies in pond and lakes without proper aeration when surface temperatures are extremely cold, creating what's called a thermocline. A thermocline happens as warmer water about 39°F or so – sinks to the bottom, while colder water about 32°F or so – rises to the top. Very little mixing of the layers occurs, particularly in calm weather.
Supercooling could become an issue if you're running a surface aeration system in shallow ponds with fish. The fish prefer to stay on the bottom of the pond in the warmer pockets of water during the winter. They're in winter-hibernation mode, and all they want to do is be in a stress-free spot until spring.
As the aerator circulates the warmer water with the cooler water at the surface, the overall temperature could drop. In extreme cases when the temperatures are well below 0°F, the water temperature can actually drop below its freezing point without becoming a solid – a rare process known as supercooling.
If the water gets too cold, your fish have nowhere warm to go. Living without their warm hangout spot could compromise their oxygen supply and immune systems, making them vulnerable to parasites and diseases.
The best way to deliver oxygen to your fish is with a bottom diffused aerator, like an Airmax® Aeration System. You can keep it running without creating an inhospitable environment for your finned friends by simply moving your diffuser plates closer to the surface or turning half of them off.
If you relocate the diffuser plates to a spot that's about half the depth of your pond or run only 50 percent of them, a pocket of warm water will remain for your fish at the bottom. You'll continue pumping oxygen into the water and keeping a hole in the ice for gas exchange without having to worry about freezing your fish.

Not the best night for Kobe. After briefly leaving the game in the first with an ulnar nerve contusion (that's a bruised funny bone, and you don't need to be an athlete to know how obscenely painful it can be), and then seeing the Thunder shrug off an attempted comeback, Bryant had a towel pilfered right off his shoulders by a fan while exiting through the tunnel.
It looks like a Lakers fan, so no need for Kobe to have anyone killed. And it's not like Kobe doesn't have his own stash of monogrammed towels made from downy-soft baby scalps.

What is the HEART?
The aptly named HEART is the core of the Octane. It integrates a SDRAM memory controller, a XIO device, an interrupt controller and a processor bus interface for up to four R10000-class processors.
Access methods
The HEART can be accessed in two ways from the processor. The first one is through the PIU (Programmed I/O Unit) at 0xFF0000 in processor physical address space. The other one is at widget 8 in XIO address space. The only one way available to other XIO devices is through the widget interface, so the Interrupt Status Set register is mapped there at address 0x80.
Memory controller
The HEART contains a SDRAM memory controller with ECC. ECC errors are signaled to the CPUs by interrupts.
XIO bridge
The XIO bridge is one of the main functions of the HEART. There are three access windows defined for each XIO widget number. There is a window at 0x10000000+ W*0x1000000 for widget number W, a window at 0x800000000+W*0x80000000 and a window at 0x1000000000+W*0x1000000000.
Note that XIO accesses are deeply pipelined by default. Due to that fact, writing to any XIO widget may not have any effect for several hundred cycles. To guarantee finalization of all posted writes it is required to read the widget flush register.
The XIO bridge in HEART provides also some Flow Control features for two channels. They allow to schedule a hiwater IRQ for any given XIO register address. If the register is an input to a FIFO, as is the case with the IMPACT graphics board, exceeding a prescribed number of writes to this register would cause a FIFO hiwater condition. As you already know, the XIO writes are posted and not immediately executed. Catching the hiwater condition in the HEART and not in the card allows to trap it in a more reliable way.
Interrupt controller
The HEART interrupt controller is visible from the PIU as a set of registers: interrupt mask registers for all processors (IMR[0:3]), an interrupt status register (ISR) and ISR clear and set registers that allow atomic manipulation of the ISR.
The XIO side consists of a single register 0x80 that can accept either an atomic ISR bit set command or an atomic ISR bit clear command. These commands cause asserting and deasserting IP[7:2] bits in the CPUs whose IMRs contain the bit in question.
A small part of the HEART is a programmable interval timer, consisting of 24-bit COUNT and COMPARE registers. The IRQ can be delivered only to the IP6 bit, which is the highest-priority CPU interrupt except internal CPU timer and HEART error IRQs. The timer counts at 12.5 MHz, every 8th internal HEART cycle (1/4th of the XIO frequency).
The HEART controls also the NICs associated with processor modules. It features a standard SGI issue MicroLAN controller.

Google Labs provides gateway for developers to enable more gesture-based application navigation
In an understated blog in its developer zone, we learned that Gesture Search functionality from Google Labs now has its own API. Developers can use this API to integrate the branded 'Gesture Search' function into Android apps so that users can use gesture input to write text and search for application-specific data.
Google Labs defines Gesture Search as an option to, "Search your Android-powered device by drawing gestures on the touch screen." Google's gesture tool first appeared on Android as an application in its own right constructed directly on top of standard Android search functionality.
The search giant now describes Gesture Search as a route for users to draw a single character to narrow down a contacts list or menu (or other set of information choices) alphabetically by drawing the first letter of their desired destination.
By using the new API, Google says that developers will open up a route to facilitating two individual gesture-based activities. Programmers will first have the option to implement gesture-based searches on top of existing search queries that are in progress – this should mean that users get gesture-based power similar to that seen in the original Gesture Search app, but specifically pertaining to that particular application's data.
Second, developers will have the option to build with gesture-based navigation functions. Although there are no demos available for this option as yet, it does portend to a new route for developers to improve Android user experiences – especially for those programmers seeking to build quick and simple apps that can be used on the go.

The brain-cracking genre mashups that will define the future of science fiction aren't necessarily coming out of Hollywood. Instead, they're hatching in Richmond, Virginia, judging from this just-posted casting call:
Logline: The Blair Witch meets Event Horizon. Tag Line: Finite Space, Infinite Power
A director's equipment-clad crew of nonconformist semi-pros discover a film camera deserted on location, further investigation turns up footage that would make a horror director proud. The photon sphere surrounding the camera is accompanied by an unearthly presence. The entity channels power through the creative process to lure crew members into situations, situations they may not escape...
This film is shooting in Richmond in October and November, with Rob Byrne directing. There's contact info online, for any Virginians who fancy playing a "hyper sorority rich girl" or an "eclectic artsy director." Good times!

What painkillers can you use?
NSAID's like Ibuprofen and Diclofenac are the most effective painkillers. If you cannot obtain those, Paracetamol, if available with codeine, or Tylenol (acetaminophen) also help.
Please read the patient instructions of the package of painkillers you obtained for the maximum doses you can use.
Do NOT use anti-spasmodics. As the misoprostol makes your uterus contract in order to push out the pregnancy, anti-spasmodics might interfere with the abortion process. 87 99

Allee Willis' Kitsch O' The Day – If You're Heading To SXSW….
…come see me and my latest piece of technology, this 1960′s wrist transisitor radio, on the "Indie Success: Caching in on Collaboration" panel, Tuesday March 15, 11:00AM at the Hilton, Salon C, 500 East 4th Street. Here's what me and my wrist accessory will be talking about:
"Since the web began we've been talking about artists having a career without a label and going directly to fans. We finally have examples of this working, so what does it look like?
SXSW Veteran Heather Gold sits down with successful collaborating indie artists including: Allee Willis (September, Boogie Wonderland, The Color Purple, Theme from Friends, over 50 million albums sold), Mary Jo Pehl (Mystery Science Theatre 3000, RIfftrax, NPR) and Kenyatta Cheese (Know Your Meme, Rocketboom). The Net links almost every form of artistic making, so it makes sense that we're in an era of increasing collaboration and creation in many forms. We'll find out how limitations and openness serve them in an era of "personal brands" We'll find out how they deal with rights, friendship and creating the best space in which to collaborate. We'll also dig into their collaborative process in making social experiences, music, video and comedy and find out how they've succeeded creatively and in every other way."
Arriving in Austin tomorrow night. See you there on Tuesday. My biggest message: As much as it's about technology, it's about a charming personality…

A secret contract signed between Jon Gosselin and former girlfriend Kate Major has been uncovered by RadarOnline.
If you recall, Kate Major was the Star Magazine tabloid reporter who quit her job back in July so she could be with the Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad. Jon later denied ever dating Kate though the two had been photographed together on more than one occasion.
According to Radar, the contract has Jon hiring Kate as his personal assistant, promising to pay her a percentage of his "accounts" and spelling out that she would not talk about their relationship. This document could be a new source of trouble for Jon in the current lawsuit TLC has against Jon for breach of contract and fraud.
The contract reads, "I, Jon Gosselin, will employ Kate Major as a personal assistant," Jon wrote on the document dated July 28, 2009. Jon pledged that she could handle "some but not all future accounts" in a paragraph. Jon continues: "She will receive a percentage of accounts for payment based upon involvement."
The contract was written just days after Kate quit her job for Star Magazine. A Photo of the handwritten contract written by the genius is below –

Born in Petersburg, Virginia in 1867, Myers became an important painter of urban realism, starting with a series of images of ghetto life in 1887, the year he began studying at the Cooper Union. One of his earliest works is Backyard from that year, in a private collection, which already shows a raw, unidealized view of New York City. Thus he actually anticipated the productions of the Ash Can School. Myers continued his studies at the Art Students League where his teacher was George de Forest Brush, the academic painter of idealized Native Americans. Brush's classicism did not rub off on Myers, who had no patience for careful drawing - he was even disturbed by the presence of a studio model, so he completed a ser

UPDATE – Winners Revealed here.
Apologies to people who've come here over the last few weeks to find next to no updates.
Here's the short story of what's been going on.
Two weeks ago I came down with a pretty nasty flu. I was totally out of it for a few days. I started feeling better, I went back to work. I tried to get back into my normal schedule of things despite not feeling a 100%. After a week of this I continued to feel run down and had now gotten a pretty nice cold.
I started waking up in the middle of the night feeling as though my lungs had stopped working (not to exaggerate too much but it was pretty terrifying) and I had to cough and cough to kick start them back up again. After two nights of this I finally went to the doctor to find out, surprise! I have pneumonia.
I've been on antibiotics for the last five days and pretty much been doing nothing but resting. I'm starting to feel slightly better. But I'm going to be taking it easy for the next little bit. Updates will most likely be spotty.
Februray 1st is annual Hourly Comic Day. Which I always seem to forget. Well not this year!
The goal is simple. Draw a comic for every hour you're awake of something you did that hour.
Other hourly comics can be found here
A bunch of people have been asking me where the 2010 calendar is. Well it's right here.
Featuring 12 of the best comics from the past year.
Zazzle has an awesome deal going right now where you can get 44.4% off if you use the code CALENDARS998. That means you can get this calendar for $11.65 until December 10th. Which is pretty sweet deal.

Guest Commentary: We launched Zapd yesterday to great fanfare — hundreds of users were signing up each hour and posting their Zap's to Facebook and Twitter (driving thousands of more users). The traffic was insane. It was a better first day response than our previous two companies (ImageKind and Inkd) … combined.
Why is this happening? Honestly I don't know. There are lots of comparisons to Tumblr and Posterous. Maybe all the news about the launch of Colors last week. Maybe just bubble-level hysteria around mobile apps in general. I just don't know.
Unfortunately, at 5 a.m. this morning the omni-present Facebook spam algorithm had enough of our success and shut us down: no more sign-up's and no more wall posts for existing users.
We built it, they came, but Facebook pulled up the drawbridge. They don't really tell you WHY they do these kinds of things. App developers are left guessing.
What's interesting is how they are set up. You can only apply for a 48-hour appeal — unless you know someone. Facebook really seems to prioritize those developers who are "friends of friends" within Facebook.
We sent out a plea for help to our network and everyone out there seems to know how Facebook works and now we've got 10 different emails going in to various places throughout the Facebook organization. Stay tuned on that.
Fortunately, because others fell victim to this problem, we knew this could happen and so we built our app in a way that allowed us to quickly implement a workaround.
You only get one chance to launch, and so no matter what happened we had to be live. We were up and running a few hours later. In the mean time, our many friends and colleagues were helping us contact Facebook to expedite the appeal.
The most frustrating aspect of the experience is that the Facebook shutdown came without warning, without explanation, and with a ridiculously long waiting time to address the issues. Also, it was total.
We get that Facebook may need to shut down spam but why shut down sign-in's and lock out an app completely!?! Was it because there were too many new users? Too many posts per user? Or something else? Facebook doesn't tell you all that you need to know up front.
We're still working on addressing this issue but here is what we've learned so far that we can share with anyone new to developing on Facebook.
- Don't launch without knowing somebody at Facebook first. Ask around. Get a name first. Build a relationship. Because otherwise Facebook is notoriously hard to contact.
- Don't rely solely on Facebook Connect to set up user accounts. We wanted to keep things simple and so we offered Facebook and our own system and although it made things easy it also increased the impact of the Facebook ban. We're working hard on adding Twitter and Google logins to avoid this problem in the future.
- Don't blindly rely on the Facebook SDK. You're literally handing the keys to your app to Facebook and your at their mercy. The code is open so read it, understand it, make it your own.
Have more experience developing for Facebook? Share it with the entire Seattle tech community, so we all benefit!

Yesterday I was watching this movie with one of my sisters and it happened to be a flick that was made in the late eighties. It was called "Killer Klowns", and it was awesome. That very same feature is what gave me the idea to do this tutorial on ""strong>how to draw killer clowns", step by step. Not only is the clowns in the movie incredibly scary, but I found that clown tattoos drawn to look just as evil as the ones in the horror flick are somewhat popular. There is a ton of guys that get this image tattooed on their bodies and where they are placed is totally random. I love the way this drawing came out because it has that evil look, and the void stare makes you think that this guy is going to come after you at any moment. If you have a phobia geared towards clowns, then this tutorial is not for you. The great thing about this lesson is that you can alter the image of the clown's face to look anyway you like. You can have him completely bald, or you can choose to have a full head of hair. The face and expression can also be drawn to your preference. All you have to do is draw the mouth differently, or change the ways the eyes look, it's all up to you. But, you can even follow the exact lesson the way it is here verbatim and also end up with a rockin sketch of a killer clown. I have to bounce on out of here because there is a lot more work in my direction which means there is some more art coming your way. Peace out guys, and happy drawing!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

Quote:No reasonable person would suggest acting before all the facts are in. However, the great fear is that the officer might get a pass regardless of the facts. That happens often enough. It amazes me how many people I have already heard making excuses for why this copper may have acted as he did--they aren't waiting for the facts, either. I mean, how @#$% obvious does the abuse have to be befor people see there might be a problem? Civilians never get this kind of consideration.
Quote:I don't agree with that. Rodney King? Video can most certainly be used as evidence of improper action - as it seems to be in this case. Again, the situation is totally different in this case than what you are referring to.

Fear not, denizens of Redbird Nation. Your pilot may have hung up the satin jacket for the greener pastures of the TV studio, but there will forever be a La Russa roaming the fields of St. Louis, pooping in the grass.
Budweiser has named a Clydesdale foal at their horse farm "La Russa," in honor of the Cardinals' championship, and we think fans won't be able to tell the difference. The horse also likes animals! The horse is also hard to understand on the phone! The horse also could have won a World Series with those late 80s-early 90s A's! (Probably more.)
