it lacks that dynamic element that would pull you in. Ie that slash of light (not happinging under these conditions) or the foreground element that provides movement.

Here's what counts as success in Washington these days: a budget deal that almost everyone hates and that doesn't solve any of the country's major problems.
The spending bill that Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Rep. Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) unveiled Tuesday evening has something for everyone to dislike. It won't cut federal spending or shrink the national debt, so conservative Republicans don't like it. It won't restore much money for domestic programs or extend unemployment insurance, so Democrats don't like it either.
Its main virtue is that it will spare members of Congress from worrying about a government shutdown during their long Christmas break.
YEAR IN REVIEW: Washington's 5 biggest 'fails' of 2013
But in these dark days, the prospect of a deal — any deal — is hailed as the dawn of a new age of pragmatism and bipartisan cooperation.
After a series of fiscal train wrecks culminating in the 16-day government shutdown this fall (a shutdown that accomplished exactly nothing), the idea of a staunch conservative and an equally staunch liberal forging a bipartisan, bicameral compromise seems almost charming.
Let's be clear, though. The deal isn't a grand bargain — at best it's a mini-bargain. All the Murray-Ryan deal would do, in essence, is split the difference between House and Senate spending proposals, give federal agencies a little more flexibility to adjust to the budget cuts imposed by the sequester, and — the main thing — avoid the prospect of another government shutdown on Jan. 15.
YEAR IN REVIEW: Highs and lows from Obama's roller-coaster year
It won't reduce the national debt, something both parties say they want. It won't reform the tax code. It won't even end the sequester's meat-cleaver method of indiscriminate, across-the-board cuts.
Surely the Congress of the United States, legislature of the world's greatest democracy, can do better than this?
Actually, maybe not. By Tuesday afternoon, even before Murray and Ryan had a chance to unveil their handiwork, the well-funded pressure groups of the tea party right were swinging into action, warning Republicans in the House of Representatives that if they voted for Paul Ryan's deal — Paul Ryan's! — they'd be branded as big spenders.
"Congressional Republicans are joining liberal Democrats in breaking their word to the American people to finally begin reining in government overspending," thundered Americans for Prosperity, a conservative group funded partly by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch. "Politicians choosing to go back on their promise will be held accountable for their actions."
As those unsubtle threats rattled across the right side of the Internet, at least 30 conservative members of the House signed a letter rejecting the deal. And yes, the signers included many of the same tea party members who strong-armed House Speaker John A. Boehner into forcing the government shutdown last fall, a gambit that drove the Republican Party's standing to a record low and briefly made President Obama popular again.
Shall we try another shutdown?
It's easy to see why tea party members of Congress don't like the deal. It increases federal spending by almost 5% above the level set by the sequester law next year. It starts to dismantle the sequester, a budget tool conservatives have decided they want to keep even though they originally opposed it. And it increases federal revenue by raising "security fees" on airline passengers — not technically a tax, but awfully close.
Democrats don't like the deal much either. It won't add any serious money for their favorite projects such as infrastructure spending. It doesn't close any of the tax loopholes they've been trying to close. And it doesn't include an extension of federal emergency benefits for the long-term unemployed, meaning 1.3 million jobless people will take a hit just after Christmas.
So why are Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Boehner, who can't agree on much else, bent on muscling it through? Because they want to fight about other things instead.
Boehner and his Republicans want to spend 2014 talking about the failings of Obamacare, campaigning for a GOP takeover in the Senate and, above all, avoiding a repeat of last year's shutdown debacle.
Reid and his Democrats want to focus on Obama's populist economic agenda, including a proposal to increase the minimum wage and other measures to attack inequality. And they want to focus on defending their vulnerable seats against the GOP. A government shutdown would hurt Republicans, but it wouldn't do Democratic incumbents much good either.
"The key thing is to keep the train on the track," GOP pollster David Winston told me. "The Murray-Ryan deal doesn't solve any big problems, but it allows everything else to move forward."
Does that qualify as success? These days, it might. But even then, it still has to get past the tea party.

Hi there! We had a long struggle with tongue tie, getting it cut twice. First time i kept waiting, measuring intake, crying, waiting more. Second time it took a day and he had it figured out. The latch still took a LOT of work to get right, and he still fussed about prefering bottles for a while, but within a week we were really nursing. This is all to say: 1) make sure the cut was enough and dont be afraid to go back to the doc & 2) realize that even once it's possible, your baby still has to learn how to nurse. Let the baby suck as much as possible on mama. Sometimes it helps to get them sucking on your finger first, to remember how to do it, and then to latch them on. I would get help with the latch, too, from a lac. consultant if you can. Good work getting the frenulum cut! Some docs really resist doing it.
Also, & i cant stres this enough, no pacifiers until lo knows how to latch!

2 Italians kidnapped by gunmen in eastern Libya
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Gunmen kidnapped two Italians working for a telecommunications company in eastern Libya, the official state news agency said Saturday.
The agency quoted their driver describing the kidnapping, saying that masked gunmen forced the Italians out of the vehicle at gunpoint on the road between the eastern cities of Derna and Tobruk on Friday.
A colleague told the agency that the abducted worked for a private cable company that does works for the Communication Ministry. The motive for the kidnapping was not clear.
Since the end of its 2011 uprising, Libya's central government virtually has collapsed and it lacks an efficient police force and military. Rebel forces and militias quickly filled the security vacuum left after the downfall of Moammar Gadhafi. The armed bands regularly use violence to intimidate officials to sway policies, gunning down security officials and kidnapping their relatives. Libya's prime minister himself was briefly kidnapped in October.
Late Friday, residents of the nearby town of Martouba blocked the road with sandbags, protesting the abduction of the Italians.
Meanwhile, three soldiers were killed in clashes in the restive southern city of Sabha, a stronghold for former loyalists of late dictator Moammar Gadhafi, a military official said. The official said four soldiers were wounded in the clashes that continued for the second day Saturday after an earlier truce failed. The clashes were sparked by revenge attacks between the African-origin Tabu tribe and the Arab-origin Awlad Soliman.
The official said assailants attacked at least two military bases in the city. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to brief journalists.
Earlier this week, fighting in Sabha killed 31 people. The city was one of the last to fall under rebel control during Libya's civil war.

What could be more perfect for SexyTofu than an interview with a vegan adult film star? Read on as I dish with Kimora Klein, a half Black, half Asian saucepot who kicked off her porn career on Bang Bros—you know, the one where they drive around in a van looking for girls to bang. Not only is she a dish, but she has brains to boot, and loves to cook! (Stay tuned for a topless vegan cooking show, perhaps?) In the following interview, we talk about her recent near-fatal car accident, and I ask her for her professional opinion on the whole "vegans shouldn't swallow" plague. Yes plague. Oh, and oral sex tips!
Z: Alright well we can start with food and work our way into juicier stuff from there. How long have you been vegan?
KK: I've been vegan since mid-2008.
What made you make that switch?
It's funny, I didn't intentionally decide to go vegan. After I moved out of my parents' house in Miamito school in Chicagomy grocery shopping habits developed. I didn't know how to cook meat and was kind of grossed out just at the idea of handling raw meat. I never really liked milk, so it didn't ever cross my mind to buy it. I just naturally developed a vegan diet and after OTHER people started calling me a vegan, I started to fine-tune my diet and cut out less obvious things like gelatin. I educated myself on why someone would intentionally go vegan and it just made sense.
What's your favorite thing about veganism?
I can honestly say that I get sick less often and that I can eat a lot without feeling weighed down.
Do you think it boosts your sex appeal?
To the veggie demographic, definitely. Otherwise, I haven't heard from others.
Do you see any correlation between good food and good sex?
I do! It's true, vegans "taste better." Pineapple makes a difference, sure, but not eating red meat or lots of dairy makes a HUGE difference.
What's your favorite thing to cook?
My favorite thing to cook is dumplings. Well, not necessarily "cooking" them but making them. I'm one of those very hands-on people, if you didn't figure that already.
I bet you are! Okay, changing lanes. You were in an accident not too long ago. Tell me what happened.
I don't remember anything really. I was told that a work van T-boned me on my driver's side on the highway. I broke my hips, jaw, collarbone and punctured a lung. Also I lacerated my liver. I had to be incubated for a few days and then I was inpatient in between the ICU and a rehabilitation hospital because I had to learn how to walk, breathe, and talk normally again.
Have things changed since then? Are you fully recovered?
The whole ordeal claimed a good 6 to 7 months of my life and I'll be dealing with the aftermath (I now have osteoarthritis) for the rest of my life. I still have really random terrible hip pain have metal implants in my jaw which sometimes bother me. I permanently lost feeling in my lower jaw line, chin and bottom lip. If you were to see me on the street, you'd never know anything happened to me unless you saw the incision scar on my neck from surgery though. I'm able to do pretty much everything I used to, just not for too long of a time or too strenuously.
Has it affected your career at all, positively or negatively?
I'd say both. I got the craziest outpouring of love and support when everyone found out what had happened. Because it was a life-changing experience, I'd say positive. There were a couple moments in the first few hours after where they thought I wasn't going to make it and I had a lot of time to evaluate my life and what I wanted to do with myself. The only negative thing I'd say is just all the stress and physical pain I went though, and probably the fact that it's going to be a lot harder to find companies that'll want to shoot a girl with scars like I have.
I know you got into adult entertainment with Bang Bros. But now that you're established, tell me what attracts you to a job.
Well porn gigs are exactly that when you're not contracted to work with a specific company. At the time before my accident I was just kind of going for whatever was reputable. My main concern is seeing existing content or website/DVDs, otherwise I usually don't bother. I especially appreciate more artsy fartsy erotica and hardcore rather than your usual "gonzo" and "reality" stuff.
I'm interested in what your contracts are like; any bizarre or interesting things you have to sign off on?
Nope, not really. The most important thing is age verification paperwork.
Is there anything you absolutely will not do on set?
Anal is a no-go, and nothing that is made to look forced. There's a fine line between me liking it rough, and someone forcing roughness on me.
Fake boobs are a turn-off for me, and I love that you're all natural! Tonsil surgery aside, would you ever go under the knife?
Thanks I love my tiny titties! They're great because they don't get in the way of anything and they'll still look awesome when I'm an old crazy hag. I'd never get implants, I have a lot of my fans that primarily like me for my small, manageable chest.
High-five for small boobs! What piece of work are you most proud of?
Stuff that's not yet online! I have lots of really great content that I still need to get up on my site once its finished. The accident threw off my timing for that.
Now, you have a specialty don't you…in fact, you actually had oral surgery to improve your performance, right? That's commitment, right there. Talk to me about that…
When I was too young, I was dating a perv who suggested that I lie to my doctors about having breathing issues and getting sick too often to have my tonsils removed so that I could give him better blowjobs. As creepy as that sounds, I thought it was a fantastic idea because I've always prided myself on how awesome I am with those. The surgeon also took out my adenoids just to clear everything at all that may have been bothering me out the way. I didn't even know those existed until after I had them taken out. One month of applesauce and seven years later…
Ha! So being vegan and in the adult film industry, I would love if you could weigh in on the swallowing issue for me please! You know, some vegans won't swallow because those little guys are still swimmin' on their way down…
Seriously? I'm not one to make fun of people's views but that's kind of ridiculous. Yeah I swallow, I joke about it being one of my few sources of "protein."
I think that protein thing is a myth. I remember someone started a rumor in highschool that a dollop of dudejuice was like the same amount of calories as 5 Big Macs. There was a spitting epidemic and the football team was pissed. Now, Just out of curiosity, because whenever I watch porn I always want to know this, what do your parents think? Are they cool with your career? Supportive? In the dark?
My parents were in the dark for a few years and then they found out. They were pissed as hell at first, mostly because they were concerned about my safety. I assured them that what I was doing was more safe than just being a slut going around banging just anyone. I went off on about how porn is my sex-positive feminist outlet and blah blah blah. It's been a few years but they've calmed down. Not necessarily supportive, but not trying to stop it anymore either. It's just not a subject for conversation.
So what's next for you? Any big things coming up?
Well, I put on a decent amount of weight after I left the hospital because I was eating and not moving. So I'm in the process of a major diet to drop about 30lbs to get back to where I was. After that, I need to have updated photos taken with the scars I have from surgery and see what'll happen in regards of other people wanting to shoot me. Otherwise, I'm more concerned with finishing my own site.
I read your blog—you're funny and your recipes are super yum. Ever think of writing a book? Food and porn on every page…
Aw, thank you! My poor blog! I'll have to update it. I've thought about a topless vegan cooking show. We'll see where that goes.
Okay, not to get all Cosmo on you but I have to ask since I am talking to a professional. Off the top of your head, what are your top three oral sex tips?
Cosmo is go! This is a first, I've actually never been asked about technique aside from deep throating. Let's see.
I sort of fell in love with Kimora for working in an ANTM reference…in college when I was too hung-over to move I would spend 9 straight hours watching Top Model marathons…and Law and Order SVU.

Armed with buckets of paint and a sandblaster in extreme cases, a group of local church volunteers are taking to the streets of Vacaville in an effort to curb graffiti that has been plaguing the city.
Following the loss of redevelopment funds previously used to combat the problem, The Father"s House is teaming up with the city of Vacaville to stop graffiti through its "adopt a block" program.
The plan was first unveiled at a City Council meeting last month and received a number of accolades from city officials.
Designed to pick up where redevelopment left off, when graffiti is spotted on private property, the owner is approached and asked to sign a "hold harmless" agreement that gives the church"s volunteers free reign to deal with it. In situations where the tagging occurs on private property, code compliance officers will contact a public agency to clear the graffiti away.
During the meeting, Vice Mayor Dilenna Harris praised The Father"s House for its work within the community, including the Storehouse food locker and other community service programs, noting that it makes the city proud.
Circulating between 10 Vacaville neighborhoods that include Trower Park, Bennett Hill and the Leisure Town area, a team of up to 60 volunteers make weekly visits throughout the city, where they have added graffiti abatement to their already established efforts of picking up trash, bringing food and conducting welfare checks, said Raymond Beaty, intern director and city impact pastor for The Father"s House.
"Since we live here, we just want to step up and fill gaps that have been left because of the loss of funding," Beaty said.
After receiving work orders from code compliance officers, who document the vandalism, the volunteers assemble at the church at 10 a.m. every Saturday before setting about their task.
Since completing their first job in the first week in January, Beaty said the team has worked at more than 15 local sites.
Beaty credited the city"s work to combat the issue but stated that without the funding, it was impossible for the city to stay on top of the problem.
Because of the volume of graffiti they are encountering, Beaty said one- or two-person teams have been going out throughout the week to paint over or sandblast areas that have been tagged.
"There"s just too much to do on a Saturday," he explained.
Victor August was one of the volunteers out making the rounds Thursday.
Sporting a neon yellow construction vest with the words "we (heart) our city" on the back, August briefly inspected a concrete garbage enclosure on Aegean Way that vandals had plastered with swirls of red and black spray paint.
After reaching the property owners, it was decided to go the sandblasting route — which meant temporarily putting the project on the back burner until the sandblaster was available and heading off to the next stop on Alamo Drive.
"We just decided to step up and help out the city of Vacaville and volunteer some of our time," he explained of his reasons for joining the team. "We want to keep (Vacaville) looking nice."
For more information on The Father"s House Community Outreach or to volunteer, visit WeLoveOurCity.org. To report graffiti, call code enforcement at 449-5693.

GRAVITY defying bike skills promise to leave crowds speechless when a Guinness World Record holding BMXer comes to town on May 11.
Matti Hemmings is bringing his flatland BMX show to the Pedal Power Festival in Northwich town centre and will also run a workshop for those who want to emulate his talents.
Flatland BMX has been described as like 'breakdancing on a bike' with a unique display of ground tricks, twists, spins, jumps and balances.
Matti entered the record books when he achieved the most BMX cliffhanger spins with one foot on the handle bars in one minute.
The 26-year-old did this on live TV in February 2013 and racked up 56.
"My proudest achievement would have to be breaking a Guinness World Record and being involved with the London 2012 Olympic torch relay that toured across the UK," he said.
Matti has been riding for about 10 years and got started after he saw a host of tricks performed in a contest.
"I saw guys doing flatland BMX and I decided to give it a go," he said.
"At first it was very difficult to understand how it was possible to spin around on one wheel.
"I came off a lot at first managed to learn most of the basic tricks that helped me progress to other tricks."
He added: "It's much more difficult than the other disciplines within BMX as the tricks are much harder. " Matti will perform displays throughout the Pedal Power Festival, which takes place in Witton Street and Tabley Street from 10am to 3pm on May 11.
He said: "People can expect a unique display of ground tricks with all kinds of twists and spins involving one-wheel balance moves and combination jump manoeuvres that will leave you speechless.
"The workshops are adaptable to the skill levels of the riders taking part.
"So whether you've never touched a BMX before or are an experienced rider there's plenty to enjoy and learn."
Timings for performances and the drop in workshop are yet to be finalised.
Matti's top tips:
- Know the basic about the bicycle, make sure you understand how the bike works if you want to perform stunts.
- You can attend coaching sessions that carter for all types of cycling.
- If you come off get back up and do it again – practice makes perfect.
The Festival
AS well as Matti Hemmings, the Pedal Power Festival will include a host of stalls, activities, food and live music as Northwich celebrates cycling.
There will also be a five-mile family friendly bike ride from the town centre from 10am.
Places are limited for this traffic-free ride, which will also include live music and art projects en route.
Admission is £5 for adults, £2.50 for children and £10 for a family of two adults and up to three children.
Children on bike seats or tag-along bikes can enter for free.
Proceeds will go to Northwich children's charity The Joshua Tree.

Hi everyone,
I've been shooting with a Panasonic Lumix for about 3 years now (mostly for my own documentaries) but I just finished shooting a pilot for a web series, and I have to say that there are definitely pros and cons to shooting video with these things. If anyone needs any help, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm definitely a graduate of the school of hard knocks...lol.
Besides making videos, I also create original music and share it with my fellow artists. The cost of licensing music today is pretty much unreachable for most folks, so I'm trying to do what I can to help. All I ask is to be credited as indicated on my site.
I hope it's helpful. Any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Pulmonary Hypertension
Can pulmonary hypertension be measured by an echocardiogram? What is the difference between PAP and systolic PAP? It measured me as 35-40mmHg using the echocardiogram, what is this?
PAP is pulmonary artery pressure. It refers to the pressure in the pulmonary artery (the vessels that take blood through the lungs).
Like with the blood pressure measurement on your arm (systemic blood pressure) there is the top number (systolic) and the bottom number (diastolic).
The normal pressures in the lungs are about 25/8. 25 is the systolic PAP. These pressures can only be measured by floating a catheter in the vessels (right heart cathetertization). sPAP (systolic PAP) can be estimated by echocardiogram.

Astros stick with successful Minors coaching staff
HOUSTON -- Considering the Astros had six Minor League affiliates reach the playoffs last year, it's not surprise many of the same managers and coaches will return to lead those clubs this year.
In fact, The Astros' top six Minor League affiliates will all see returning managers in 2014, led by Tony DeFrancesco at Triple-A Oklahoma City, Keith Bodie at Double-A Corpus Christi and Rodney Linares at Class A Advanced Lancaster. The Astros will bring back 44 coaches from last year.
HOUSTON -- Considering the Astros had six Minor League affiliates reach the playoffs last year, it's not surprise many of the same managers and coaches will return to lead those clubs this year.
In fact, The Astros' top six Minor League affiliates will all see returning managers in 2014, led by Tony DeFrancesco at Triple-A Oklahoma City, Keith Bodie at Double-A Corpus Christi and Rodney Linares at Class A Advanced Lancaster. The Astros will bring back 44 coaches from last year.
Also returning to manage are Omar Lopez at Class A Quad Cities, Ed Romero at Short-Season Tri-City, Josh Bonifay at Rookie League Greeneville and Johan Maya in the Dominican Summer League. The only new manager is Marty Malloy, who takes over the Gulf Coast League Astros after spending last year as the team's hitting coach.
DeFrancesco returns for his fourth season as manager at Oklahoma City, his 20th season as a Minor League manager and his 30th as a player, coach or manager in professional baseball. In 2013, DeFrancesco led the RedHawks to their second consecutive winning season and their first division title since 2010.
Oklahoma City's 82 wins ranked second in club history for a single season and led the Pacific Coast League. DeFrancesco managed the Astros on an interim basis for the final 41 games of the 2012 season after being named interim manager to replace Brad Mills, going 16-25.
Steve Webber returns for his second season as the RedHawks' pitching coach, and Leon Roberts returns to Oklahoma City for his third season as hitting coach. Jeff Murphy, who was a bullpen catcher and catching instructor with the Astros in 2013, heads to Oklahoma City for his first season as catching coach.
Bodie is entering his third season as manager in Corpus Christi. In 2013, Corpus Christi won a franchise-record 83 games and captured both the first- and second-half titles in the Texas League. His staff includes pitching coach Gary Ruby, hitting coach Tim Garland and infield coach Tom Lawless.
Linares returns for his third season at the helm of the JetHawks and his eighth consecutive season as a manager in the Astros' system. He led Lancaster to a league-best 82-58 record in 2013, a year after steering the club to the 2012 California League championship.
The JetHawks will also have Don Alexander (pitching coach) and Darryl Robinson (hitting coach) returning in the same roles they held last season. Former Astros catcher (1984-88) and bullpen coach (2002-09) Mark Bailey enters his 16th year in the organization and will concentrate on coaching the club's catching prospects as catching coach.
Lopez returns to the River Bandits for his second season as manager, a year after leading the club to the Midwest League championship. This season will be Lopez's seventh consecutive year as a manager in the Astros system. Filling out Lopez's staff will be Dave Borkowski (pitching coach), Joel Chimelis (hitting coach) and Vince Coleman (outfielder/baserunning developmental specialist).
Former Astros bench coach Ed Romero returns to Tri-City after leading the club to the New York-Penn League Championship title last year. The 2014 season will be his 22nd year as a professional manager or coach. Romero's staff will consist of Chris Holt (pitching coach) and Russ Steinhorn (hitting coach).
Holt joins the Astros' organization after spending the last two season as an associate scout with the Orioles. He pitched in the Minors for Pittsburgh in 2002 after getting drafted by the club out of Flagler College that year.
In his first season as a manager at Greeneville last year, Bonifay won the Appalachian League Manager of the Year Award after leading the Astros to their second-best regular-season record in club history (38-30) and a berth in the Appalachian League championship series. His staff will be Josh Miller (pitching coach) and Cesar Cedeno (hitting coach).
Malloy takes over as manager of the GCL Astros after spending last year as hitting coach. He's joined by Hector Mercado (pitching coach), Ramon Vasquez (hitting coach) and coach Gordy MacKenzie, who's in his 14th year in the organization.
Maya's staff in the Dominican includes Rick Aponte (pitching coach), who has worked 37 years in the Astros' Minor League system. Luis Mateo returns for his sixth season as the club's hitting coach, and the instructor positions will be filled by former Astros Minor Leaguer Juan Zapata (outfield) and Sixto Ortega (catching).

Strong winds cut power to thousands across New HampshireBy Jason Schreiber
Union Leader Correspondent
November 01. 2013 12:29PM
Strong winds knocked out power to thousands of residents this morning and are expected to remain gusty throughout the afternoon, forecasters said.
The winds began picking up early this morning, bringing down trees and power lines in several locations around the state.
As of noontime, Public Service of New Hampshire reported 5,976 customers without power. Other outages included 1,209 New Hampshire Electric Co-op customers, 115 Unitil customers, and 92 customers from Liberty Utilities.
Wind advisories were posted for the entire state until early evening for southwest winds of 25 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph.
The strongest winds are expected during the afternoon as a front moves through and should begin to ease up after 4 p.m., according to Mike Ekster, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine.
Some of the strongest winds are expected to occur in hilly areas and the mountains.
"I continue to expect scattered tree damage and scattered power outages," Ekster said.

BRISBANE, Australia, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- The preserved tracks of an assumed dinosaur "stampede" in Australia are largely those of swimming rather than running animals, paleontologists say.
University of Queensland researchers studied thousands of small dinosaur tracks in central-western Queensland where 95-million-year-old prints are preserved in thin beds of sandstone deposited in a shallow river when the area was part of a vast, forested floodplain.
"Many of the tracks are nothing more than elongated grooves, and probably formed when the claws of swimming dinosaurs scratched the river bottom," Queensland doctoral candidate Anthony Romilio said.
"Some of the more unusual tracks include 'tippy-toe' traces -- this is where fully buoyed dinosaurs made deep, near vertical scratch marks with their toes as they propelled themselves through the water.
"It's difficult to see how tracks such as these could have been made by running or walking animals," he said in a university release Wednesday.
The swimming dinosaur tracks at Lark Quarry Conservation Park belonged to small, two-legged herbivorous dinosaurs known as ornithopods, he said.
However, Romilio said, the study may contradict the long-held belief the huge numbers of tracks are the result of a dinosaur "stampede."
"Taken together, these findings strongly suggest Lark Quarry does not represent a 'dinosaur stampede.'"
"A better analogy for the site is probably a river crossing," he said.

ESP USA Factory Line Expectations
A USA Viper , with Duncans . and a 25 1/2 " scale , that handles C tuning better .
Bone nut , Rosewood board .
I will order as soon as it's out ! that 1st day !
I'd love to see ESP start an American line of guitars similar to the Ibanez "Iron Label" series; stripped back, solid, workhorse tone machines. An LTD line without the fancy (and expensive) flame maple finishes that ESP seems to be known for, but still all of the expected quality.
A great, more simplistic budget guitar from ESP would be something that the less economicaly fortunate metalheads like me would be all over. Take note, ESP!
You really have a great idea for the ESP Guitars line. It would be nice to own a ESP with the essentials. Somehow I believe your idea is more suited to the LTD Elite line than the ESP line.
ESP is known as a premium brand. Stripping it down to just the essentials will not be favored by many ESP players and fans. They expect the high quality instruments they have always seen, purchased, and play.
But still you provided a very good idea that maybe ESP or one of his guitars line will apply in the future.
That would be great.
I love the Horizon series of guitars, but I absolutly HATE albalone on guitars. To have an affortable LTD/LTD Elite with no albalone, just a solid color or whatever, plus quality essentials would be great.
don't but made in usa on the front, i hate brands that put the country on the guitar. don't.
take the binding off the horizons body.
I'm with you about the ''Made in USA'' in the front. The ''Made in USA'' identification is always good in the back of the headstock, but never on the front. It would be nice some kind of different script or ESP logo design for their USA models.
What do you think?
Personally I am hoping to see a NTB M-II in the lineup. I'd also like to see a wider variety of color options available. I feel that only offering "black" is limiting to the consumer base (granted it worked for the Ford Model T HAHA ) seriously though, why not add white, grey, blue and red to the the roster of availble finishes?
I wonder if they will make anything lefty from the US Factory...and what the prices would like.
I expect the quality to be the same as the Japan made instruments.
Teardrop headstock Horizons, hardtail bridge Ms (like the Donais), 1-11/16"/43mm nut widths.
You guys should make guitars that have the just plain woodgrain look! I think that would be so awesome. Like a woodgrain eclispe standard. That would make my life!
I'm really glad we have all shared our ESP USA expectations. Christmas Season is on and the NAMM Show is just a month away!
We'll see if ESP takes any of our suggestions and apply it on their soon to be released line.
I'm really looking forward to the new models and see if there are new body shapes, color, and pickup configurations coming out!
I definitely have Silver Satin, Purple Satin and See-Thru Green finishes on my wishlist for the USA Eclipse model .
Let's see what happens!
Keep all your suggestions coming!
Would also be cool to see a "V" in the line-up, maybe something like the V-350 but with a white finish w/ black hardware or black w/ chrome hardware
Hello guys! I was researching for ESP USA News online and found quite a few things.
and this ESP Eclipse color...
Looks like like an old ESP Standard Series model, but that definitely ain't your ''everyday'' finish.
I will also quote a forum member from other website: ''There's going to be a LOT of new ESP USA and ESP Japan high-end models released for 2014. People who thought ESP were phasing out their high-end "ESP" models in favor of LTDs or other lines were dead wrong. There will be more high end and never-before-released-in-the-US models than ever before. ''
So what do you think people? That's certainly some hints about what the ESP USA Brand is going to be.
Well... these are all the SPOILERS for now!
PS. I kind of feel there are active threads from the old ESP Guitars Forum right now. I hope this thread just don't dissapear.
As a long time ESP fan, I am eagerly anticipating the new ESP USA line-up. There selection in the late 90's and early 2000's were second to none, it felt as if the streamlined too much but that's economics for you :)
All kidding aside, I think that the ESP USA lineup is going to be one of the highlights at NAMM 2014 and can't wait to check out the booth and see what new additions grace the catalog!!!
I would like to see more v-ii in flame tops and quilt tops with lots of color options and sv's the same also have them in 7 strings no one makes 7 string v's anymore also do them in different scale option from short scale on 6 strings and longer scales on the 7 strings

Historically, Google Adwords has been known for offering a myriad of campaign settings: levers that PPC managers can pull to tailor their campaigns to meet their needs. For the most part, this is a good thing, recent changes notwithstanding.
Years ago, there were relatively few campaign settings. Nowadays, though, there are a seemingly endless number of options, and not all of them are readily apparent in the AdWords interface. Here are two hidden settings that might trip you up.
Advanced Location Options
You're probably aware that you can target your AdWords campaigns by location: at the country, state, city, metro, or ZIP code level. Recently, though, Google made a slight tweak to location targeting that can affect results both positively and negatively. It's called Advanced Location Options and it's important.
Instead of geo-targeting strictly by the searcher's location, the default setting in AdWords is now "People in, searching for, or viewing pages about your targeted location."
On the surface, this makes a lot of sense. Let's say you're advertising entry-level homes for sale in Albany. You might run a campaign geo-targeted to Albany, with the hopes of reaching first-time home buyers who already live in the area. But wouldn't it be great to also reach those who don't live in Albany, but might want to relocate there? The default setting permits this, by serving ads outside of your geo-targeted location of Albany, to people searching for things like "homes for sale in Albany, NY."
But this setting can also work against you, especially if you're trying to get granular with your campaigns. In AdWords, not only can you target geographically, you can also exclude locations.
The default for excluded locations is "People in, searching for, or viewing pages about your excluded location." It's basically the same as location targeting, and on the surface, it sounds good. If you want to reach buyers in the continental U.S., but not Alaska and Hawaii (perhaps because you don't ship there), then you'll want to target the entire U.S. and exclude those states.
Sounds good, right? It does, but it fails in execution.
I recently set up two campaigns for a local advertiser: one targeted to Cincinnati, Ohio; and one targeted to the entire U.S. but excluding Cincinnati. I wanted to have a different message for local searches than I did for searches outside the local area that were still relevant. I left the default location settings turned on.
What ended up happening was that both campaigns were getting 99 percent of their traffic from Cincinnati – defeating the purpose of having two campaigns! I was able to stop this by targeting my U.S.-minus-Cincinnati campaign to "people in my targeted location" only, and by setting exclusions to "people in my excluded location" only.
If you're running location-targeted campaigns, it's a good idea to run a geographic report, either from your web analytics or from AdWords, to make sure ads are serving in the locations you intended. You'll find the geographic report in the Dimensions tab in AdWords.
Schedule: Start Date, End Date, Ad Scheduling
In the traditional marketing world, ad scheduling is a given. Ads are "flighted" in broadcast media, meaning they run for a stated and limited date range. Ads also usually run during specified times of day: for example, an advertiser may request prime time on TV, or drive time in radio.
There's a reason for this: Advertisers want to reach their target market when they are using the media. In PPC, though, most advertisers use the "always-on" philosophy. This makes sense, because search ads don't show until someone types in a keyword. It's demand-based advertising, which nearly eliminates the need for flighting.
But that doesn't mean ads should never be scheduled. AdWords makes it easy, by offering advertisers the option of setting start and end dates for campaigns, as well as scheduling ads to appear during specific times of day or days of the week.
While these settings don't apply to every single campaign, they come in very handy at times. An obvious situation is a limited time special. Sure, you could just change the ad copy in your ongoing campaigns to reflect the special, and then change it again when it's over. But who wants to spend that kind of time?
Using start and end dates, you can set up the specials at your convenience, and they'll shut off automatically. What could be easier?
Ad scheduling is another often-overlooked feature. In ecommerce, it's not unusual to see conversion rates decrease during overnight hours. If you find you're getting low-quality leads or conversions overnight, with ad scheduling you can set your campaign to turn off ads from midnight to 4 a.m.
Problem is, midnight in New York isn't the same as midnight in Los Angeles. Do you really want your ads shutting off at 9 p.m. PST? Or if you're targeting multiple countries, say the U.S. and the UK, do you want your ads to still be turned off at 9 a.m. GMT? In both of these instances, you'd probably be better off creating distinct campaigns for each time zone, so that ads off from midnight to 4 a.m. local time.
Keep these settings in mind as you're creating your next new AdWords campaign. It could mean the difference between mediocre results and amazing results!

Past Events:
Matt Neely & Tom Eston - Monday, April 29th from 11:00am - 2:00pm
Presentation: "Threat Modeling - The First Step in Secure Application Development"
Abstract: Application security issues continue to be a growing concern for businesses large and small. In fact, many people would be surprised to find that some of the most popular mobile apps downloaded are vulnerable to issues found in the OWASP Mobile Top 10 list of common vulnerabilities.
To address these issues security needs to be integrated into the software development life cycle (SDLC) used by the developers. When developing an application in a secure manner threat modeling is an important but often forgotten first step.
This talk will start out an overview of where to integrate security into the SDLC process. The remainder of the talk will focus on the threat modeling portion of the SecSDLC. During this stage the OWASP Mobile Threat Model will be introduced. To provide real world examples vulnerabilities found in many of the top 25 downloaded apps found in the Apple App Store and Google Play will be covered.
Speaker Bios: Matt Neely is the Director of Research, Innovation and Strategic Initiatives at SecureState, a security management consulting firm.

Joe Kuemerle - Tuesday, December 18th from Noon – 2 p.m.
Presentation: Reverse Engineering .NET and Java
Abstract: Learn the various techniques bad guys can use to extract information from your .NET or Java applications or at least how you can recover the source code that your predecessor deleted before he quit. Enjoy a demo filled session on how easy it is to extract information from virtually any .NET or Java application.
Speaker Bio: Kuemerle is a developer and speaker in the Cleveland, OH area specializing in .NET development, security, data base and application lifecycle topics. He is currently a Lead Developer at BookingBuilder Technologies and is active in the technical community as well as a speaker at local, regional and national events.
Kevin Johnson - Tuesday, March 22nd Noon – 2pm
Presentation:"Ninja Developers: Application Security Testing and Your SDLC."
Abstract: The security of enterprise software is one of the key risks organizations can start to control today. As new applications are developed and legacy software is updated, incorporating a measure of security testing can be one of the most critical ways to positively impact an organizations security posture. To properly validate the security of enterprise applications a 3rd party penetration test or assessment may be enlisted - but the cost of testing each application quickly makes this impractical. This situation presents a challenging problem.
Kevin Johnson will explain how your development staff can incorporate techniques distilled from years of experience into your organization's development and release methodology. Whether you're using Agile, RUP or Google programming, these tips and tricks will enable your developers to produce higher quality, more secure code right from the start. Kevin will reveal some of the secrets of the masters learned from experience and industry leadership over the past decade - and show you how you can insert security into your software development lifecycle with minimal disruption and maximum effectiveness.
Speaker Bio: Kevin Johnson is a security consultant and founder of Secure Ideas. Kevin came to security from a development and system administration background. He has many years of experience performing security services for fortune 100 companies, and in his spare time he contributes to a large number of open source security projects. Kevin's involvement in open-source projects is spread across a number of projects and efforts.

RubyStack now with Rails 3.2.7 and Varnish
BitNami RubyStack simplifies the development and deployment of Ruby on Rails applications for development, testing and production. It can be deployed using a native installer for Windows, OS X or Linux, as a virtual machine or in the Amazon cloud. Thanks to the Amazon Free Tier, you can try BitNami RubyStack in the cloud for free during one year.
In addition to Rails we have upgraded the following components:
- Ruby 1.9.3-p194
- Git 22.214.171.124
- Subversion 1.7.5
- NGinx 1.3.4
- Passenger 3.0.14
It also ships the following components that you can use in your applications:
- DevKit tdm-32-4.5.2 for Windows
- MySQL 5.5.21
- Apache 2.2.22
- ImageMagick 6.7.5
In this release we include an optional new component: Varnish Cache server 3.0.1 for Linux and OS X. It is a web application accelerator that can be deployed in front of any HTTP server and can significantly improve performance. You can learn more in the BitNami Varnish quick start guide.
It takes just minutes to deploy BitNami RubyStack and we are always looking for ways we can improve it. So go ahead, give it a try and let us know what you think!

Please would you add again the 32 bit version for rubystack virtual machine images ??? Why would you leave all 32 cpu users without ruby-stack? Not everyone is using a 64 bit cpu yet..ReplyDelete
We have just released a new 32 bit virtual machine for RubyStack 3.2.7. You can download it at http://bitnami.org/stack/rubystack#virtualMachine I hope it helps.ReplyDelete

Thanks... :) Since I could not wait, in the meantime, I went for a Turnkey appliance (linux core): a barebone linux based on debian on which i installed ruby & rails using rvm. What i was pleased to find is that Bitnami appliances also come with pre-installed webmin (web control panel for your whole operative system (processes, startup daemons, file-upload & download, and much more) and with shell access directly from the browser (using shell-in-a-box linux package). It's certailty quicker to use RubyStack since you don't have to setup ruby and rails (which by the way rvm makes really easy) but, i have to say that I became accustomed with webmin & shellinabox a lot, and now I'd like to ask you if you mind implementing some of those in your images as well. I think they'd be much appreciated. Thank youReplyDelete

Correction (for the previous comment): What i was pleased to find is that _Turnkey_ appliances also come with pre-installed webminReplyDelete
Hi jj, Thanks for the suggestion and for taking the time to write it. It is indeed on our plans. For now (though not ideal) here are the manual steps to install Webmin on our appliancesReplyDelete

King Barack: Rule by decree, not law
July 14. 2013 5:09PM
Seeing that his signature accomplishment, Obamacare, would be a disaster if implemented in full and on schedule, President Obama has had his administration issue rules to delay the implementaion of parts of the law. This follows his administration's granting more than 1,000 waivers from requirements imposed by the law a few years ago. So Obama would be OK with the next President doing the same thing, right?
We like the results of these delays because we agree with the President's implicit assumption that the law's on-time implementation would be a bureaucratic and economic disaster. The trouble for the President is that the U.S. Constitution (Section 2, Article 3) states that "he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed..."
This President has a history of ignoring laws he dislikes or of selectively enforcing them. From No Child Left Behind to immigration laws to election laws to Obamacare, he simply decrees what will be enforced and when. (Obamacare takes this even further by giving executive branch officials huge amounts of discretionary power to fill in the blanks of the law.)
Remember this precedent. The next time there is a Republican President, he could decide to ignore or issue waivers for Obamacare or other laws he dislikes. The left will go nuts. But when this monarchical discretion is exercised, remember that it was OK when Obama did it.

Over the years, one thing has been very hard to grasp for some people: the fact that people want smartphones with 4.0"+ screens. These 'some people' seem to believe that because Apple chose a 3.5" display, any display size that isn't 3.5" is wrong. Keep that in mind when you read Samsung's latest little communiqué: the Korean giant has sold (not shipped, sold) more than 5 million Galaxy Notes. Which has a 5.3" screen.

Bell Canada Will Give You A La Carte Cable Channels... But Only If There's Real Competition
from the otherwise,-you're-stuck dept
So it's interesting to see, up in Canada, that Bell Canada has apparently started offering a la carte pricing... but only in territories where it has real competition. Otherwise, you're stuck with bundles.
Once again, as with net neutrality and metered broadband, we're seeing a situation where the real issue is often a lack of competition in the marketplace, and the answer isn't necessarily to force a particular policy on providers, but to figure out ways to encourage more real competition, such that these other issues take care of themselves.

The act of slapping a woman/man in the face with the penis after it has been inserted into their anus. The connotation 'Doowop' comes from the double meaning of the words 'scat' and 'skat' one meaning a style of jazz singing and one meaning sexual practises involving feacal matter.
'She was being a right cocky cunt, so I had to give her a couple of Doowop Gunslingers to sort the whore out.'

Bike, Bikes, Bikes!
On May 11th, Devereux Kids proudly hosted its first event in Sulphur Springs, collaborating with City of Tampa Parks and Rec, More Health, USF Urban Transportation, RICH House Weed and Seed, McDonalds and the Tampa Police Department. More Health provided the helmets and the safety classes for both adults and children. TPD sent a bike cop to reinforce safety and helmets. USF provided the lights and license plates, Casper's Company (McDonalds) provided the lunch and Parks and Rec donated the space. The recipients of the bikes were the kindergarten students attending Parents and Children Advance Together (PCAT), an afterschool literacy program providing one on one tutoring for kindergarten students attending the elementary school. The parent was required to also attend the safety class for their child to receive a bike. Sixty bikes were given to PCAT children and their siblings. All of the bikes were graciously donated to us by God's Pedal Power Ministries, a non-profit charity that donates bicycles to children and adults in need. The Tampa Tribune attended the event and wrote an article featuring the PCAT program. Martha Guzman, contract manager, also attended the event and the Children's Board of Hillsborough County was recognized as the funding sponsor of the event for both Devereux Kids and the PCAT program. It was a great time and children were seen riding their bikes (wearing helmets) later that day!

User's Guide | Table of Contents | Print Sourcebook
Living in New Hampshire offers unique opportunities to enjoy a quality of life that has been lost in many other places while still having access to the vast majority of benefits that the marketplace offers to twenty-first century Americans.
Unfortunately, New Hampshire consumers need effective protection from some of the dangers and risks that the marketplace presents. In the pages that follow you will find that we have provided some general information about the laws that apply to a variety of consumer transactions, some examples of how the law might apply to a situation, some points to keep in mind if you find yourself in similar circumstances and some ideas for where to turn for more help. The Sourcebook is not intended to give you legal advice, but whenever possible we have described the laws and legal concepts that apply to the purchase of many goods and services in simple, direct terms.
This is the third edition of the Sourcebook. The first edition was released in 1996 and the second edition in 2001. A number of people need to be credited for their work. They include the staff of the Attorney General's Office in 1996, especially Associate Attorney General Charles T. Putnam, Senior Assistant Attorney General Walter L. Maroney, and legal intern Someshwer Rao Takkallapelli, who contributed many hours to the project. The 1996 edition also made use of the expertise of other interns and staff at the Attorney General's Office, including Nolan Koon, Diana Jankowski Parker, Lisa Firkey, James Rosenberg, Lisa Lamphere and Kimberly Therrien, who researched one or more topics and helped us to get the descriptions of the law right. Suzann Enzian Knight of the UNH Cooperative Extension Service contributed extensive first drafts of several chapters relating to credit problems. For the 2001 edition, Associate Attorney General M. Kristin Spath, Senior Assistant Attorney General Mary Castelli, Attorney David Rienzo, and Legal Interns Christine La Valle, Amy Mayhew and Charles Gathungu contributed to the expansion and revision of the Sourcebook. For the 2006 edition, we need to thank the NH Attorney General's Office staff and Matty Leighton, Administrative Assistant in the Family Studies Department at UNH, without whom this edition would not have been finished.
Although we are indebted to all these people, we alone shoulder the responsibility for errors and omissions in the pages that follow. If you are in doubt about any of the information that is presented here or want help in applying it to a specific situation that you face, you may wish to consult an attorney.
We hope that the New Hampshire Consumer's Sourcebook will help to make the marketplace more accessible and understandable for our fellow citizens by providing the information needed to avoid the pitfalls that await the ill-informed or unwary.

We have made the New Hampshire Consumer's Sourcebook as easy as possible to use as a reference book. Nevertheless, you might want to consider the following tips before diving into the Sourcebook searching for answers to your questions:
We have tried to make the information in the Sourcebook as accurate and current as possible. Laws change, however. If you have access to the Internet, you may want to visit the Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau's site on the State of New Hampshire's Official Web site for updated information.
We hope that you enjoy using the Sourcebook.

well, thanks to your (Trygve's, if anyone else posts here) help i have managed to get my mc syncing. now the main reason i like this machine is its battery life compared to my modern laptop, however it does seem to eat through AAs. finding an original rechargable pack seems to be quite impossible. so, basically my question is, is the charging circuitry in the MC or in the battery pack? if it is in the MC i can see no reason why i cannot just put AA size NiCads in the normal pack.
thanks in advance!

Descending Into the 'Sacred Space' of the National September 11 Memorial Museum
Touring the 9/11 Museum Scheduled to Open in 2014
The National September 11 Memorial & Museum, when it opens next year, will bring visitors on a gradual, curving descent from the bright light and sparkling pools of the 9/11 memorial plaza to a cavernous underground space at the foundations of the World Trade Center.
Visitors will move down a gently sloping ramp that evokes those used during the post-9/11 recovery effort and anniversary ceremonies, carrying them toward a place seven stories below ground where the steel columns of the twin towers were anchored in bedrock.
"As people descend, you feel like you're being brought into a very sacred space," said Joe Daniels, president and CEO of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum foundation.
The museum's exhibits are not yet installed, and the space is still raw. But a tour of the site Friday revealed how the shell of the museum—including the slurry wall that withstood the collapse and held back the Hudson River—is as evocative as the objects it will house.
The 9/11 museum is now scheduled to open in the spring of 2014, after a series of delays and disputes with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey over construction costs. The 9/11 memorial foundation estimates the cost of construction for both the memorial and the museum at $700 million.
While the memorial plaza is open free to the public, the museum will charge adults an admission price of $20 or $21 to help offset the projected $60 million annual cost of operating both the memorial and museum, Mr. Daniels said.
The museum will offer free admission one morning every weekend, and family members of victims will always be admitted free, Mr. Daniels said. Advance ticket sales are scheduled to start in January.
Before embarking on their downward journey, visitors encounter a stunning view upward through the ceiling of the glass atrium: Two original, 70-foot steel beams from the World Trade Center fork into tridents as they approach the top, seeming to reach toward the new One World Trade Center tower that soars above the plaza.
A staircase descends beside these beams to a concourse level. Here, visitors get a first glimpse of the vast space below. The museum's designers decided not to "prettify" the space, the museum's director, Alice Greenwald, said. The floors, and many of the walls, are concrete.
"The space itself is an artifact," she said.
A ramp made of dark wenge wood will carry visitors down between two huge rectangular volumes that hold the memorial pools in the footprints of the twin towers. On the surface of these volumes is a shimmering, textured aluminum intended to serve as an echo of the aluminum-clad towers.
On this path, visitors pass through the first exhibits: voices of people around the world recalling where they were on Sept. 11, 2001; and images of missing posters projected on a wall. Here, they also encounter vistas overlooking immense spaces that evoke the scale of the towers.
On a wall that separates the museum from an area where unidentified remains will be interred, a quote from Virgil's "Aenied" will stand in 15-inch-high letters reforged from salvaged World Trade Center steel: "No day shall erase you from the memory of time."
The museum, designed by the New York-based architecture firm Davis Brody Bond, was constructed around the largest, monumental artifacts. Among them: the so-called Survivors' Stairs, down which hundreds of people raced to escape the terrorist attacks, emerging on Vesey Street. Visitors to the museum will descend stairs beside it, arriving at bedrock.
Here, the footprints of the two towers will house exhibition spaces—one memorializing the nearly 3,000 victims of the 1993 and 2001 attacks, the other exploring the events of Sept. 11, the time leading up to it and how the world changed in its wake.
Among the most striking artifacts are two pieces of steel from where American Airlines Flight 11 plowed into the façade of the north tower. These bear the marks of the plane's impact.
"It's just so poignantly evocative of the tragedy," said Tom Hennes, founding principal of Thinc Design, the lead design firm for the museum's exhibits. "It's bending over, it's almost weeping. It's this tortured, beautiful thing."
