As the eye of Hurricane Sandy loomed a few hundred miles to the southeast and the monster storm churned toward the Mid-Atlantic coast, Marylanders braced for the arrival of a weather system with the potential to be the most damaging to hit the United States in 75 years.
Heavy rains and some gale-force winds hit the region Sunday evening, and still heavier rains and hurricane-force gusts were expected to strike late Monday and Monday night. Forecasters said the storm, currently rated as a Category 1 hurricane, would likely cause flash flooding, widespread power outages and treacherous road conditions.
As Sandy approached, the East Coast prepared for the worst. Schools and government offices told students and workers to stay home Monday. Hundreds of flights were canceled, while local transit systems shut down. Election officials closed early-voting polls on Monday. And the Maryland National Guard mobilized.
"This storm will be historic, destructive and life-threatening," said Bernie Rayno, a meteorologist with AccuWeather.com, adding that the collision of a cool, low-pressure system from the Midwest and a warm, high-pressure front moving up the coast have created unusually favorable conditions for a devastating storm.
As residents in Ocean City evacuated, people in the Baltimore region got their first taste of the conditions late Sunday and expected to see Sandy intensify by Monday morning and grow steadily worse throughout the day. As of Sunday night, 23 emergency shelters were preparing to open throughout the state.
Traffic on major arteries was light early Monday as motorists apparently heeded warnings to stay off roads as Hurricane Sandy slopped into the region.
Gusty rain fell in sheets on Maryland highways Monday morning, a prelude to the hurricane-force winds and downpour expected to hit later Monday and continue into Tuesday.
Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. mobilized more than 3,000 employees, contractors, out-of-state linemen and other personnel to prepare for extensive system damage and widespread outages in its central Maryland service area, according to Jeannette M. Mills, chief customer officer for BGE.
"We urge customers to prepare, and to review their emergency preparedness plan with their family, as we face the likelihood that Hurricane Sandy will result in extended, widespread power outages lasting several days," she said in a statement.
Forecasters were expecting the huge storm to make landfall sometime Monday, probably somewhere near Atlantic City on the New Jersey Coast. But the storm's breadth means that it's expected to engulf the entire East Coast. Meteorologists said it will be "life-threatening."
President Barack Obama declared a state of emergency in Maryland Sunday, ordering the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to offer federal aid in support of state and local responders.
"My message to the governors, as well as to the mayors, is anything they need, we will be there," the President said Sunday. "And we're not going to get bogged down with a lot of rules."
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said the city's emergency services were well-prepared for the storm — police and fire stations are fully staffed, she said, and both 911 and 311 are fully operational — but she urged residents to get ready for the hurricane before the gale-force winds hit.
"Prepare your property. Clear all storm drains. Check on your elderly relatives and neighbors and make sure that they are prepared," she said from the city's Emergency Operations Center, which went into operation early Sunday morning. "This is absolutely important."
Now is the time to get prescription drugs, she added, and to make sure the elderly do the same — and, if need be, go to the pharmacy for them before the rains get too heavy.
Baltimore City officials were not expecting to order evacuations, and they anticipated no disruption to Monday morning's commuter traffic, according to Ryan O'Doherty, a spokesman for the mayor's office. But the city was prepared to revise those predictions should conditions change overnight.
Baltimore also established shelters, opening at 9 a.m. Monday at the following locations:
- War Memorial Building- Lexington and Gay Streets
- Baltimore Junior Academy- 3006
- West Cold Spring Lane
- Oliver Community Center- 1400 East Federal Street
- Edmondson High School- 4501 Edmondson Avenue
- Patterson Park High School- 100 Kane Street
- Forest Park High School- 3701 Eldorado Avenue
Rawlings-Blake said the storm's vast size means area residents should expect power outages, downed wires and trees, blocked roadways and flooding in central Maryland beginning Monday afternoon.
The storm has already forced multiple closures.
As of Sunday, Amtrak and MARC trains were no longer running. The port of Baltimore also will be closed.
And more than 200 flights scheduled to land at or leave from Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport Monday had already been canceled as of Sunday evening, according to FlightStats.com.
Jonathan Dean, a spokesman for the airport, said most carriers had indicated they would cancel all flights Monday and monitor the storm to make a decision about Tuesday and Wednesday. The airport will remain open, he said.
Public schools across the Baltimore region and most colleges in the area were to be shuttered Monday. Only essential workers were being asked to report to federal, state, city and some county offices.
The state park service closed down all parks and campgrounds through Wednesday morning.
Election officials announced they shut down early voting in Maryland as of Monday. The early-voting polls had been busy over the weekend in anticipation of the storm. Gov. Martin O'Malley will not make a decision about Tuesday's early voting until later Monday, a spokeswoman said. Early voting sites will be open at least one extra day, Friday, to make up for the cancellation.
Such precautions should come as no surprise, given the strange grandeur of a storm that some are saying could be the biggest to hit the U.S. since a massive hurricane known as the Long Island Express devastated large portions of the East Coast in 1938.
Hurricane Sandy would be less strong, meteorologists say, were it not for a rare confluence of patterns — the Midwestern trough colliding with the Atlantic front, which began as a tropical storm and is now transitioning to a chillier nor'easter status, all exacerbated by the tidal pull exerted by a full moon.
Conditions are so strange meteorologists aren't just calling for rain and high winds. They're predicting up to three feet of snow in the mountains of West Virginia, two feet in Tennessee and Kentucky and small amounts of snow in portions of western Maryland.
In Reisterstown, scores of emergency responders and state officials scrutinized weather maps, peered at live traffic cameras and drew plans to deploy crews and equipment at the state's emergency operations center Sunday.
"We're still preparing for the worst," said Edward J. McDonough, spokesman for the Maryland Emergency Management Agency. Although the eye of the storm was tracking north, state officials were preparing for extensive flooding — along coastal and tidewater areas as well as inland — and power outages, he said.
The Maryland National Guard was sending soldiers and equipment to counties throughout the region to be poised to help rescue people from swift water. About 4,500 soldiers were prepared to be called to help, said Lt. Col. Charles Kohler, a guard spokesman.
"We anticipate missions to assist in evacuations," Kohler said. Guard members in Humvees could ferry police and firefighters through water as deep as 30 inches, he said. By Sunday afternoon, Harford County officials had already requested the Guard's help with 12 different efforts, and Worcester and Queen Anne's County had also asked for significant assistance, he said.
Traffic appeared to be flowing smoothly out of Ocean City, where officials had ordered residents of some areas to evacuate.
Darrell B. Mobley, acting secretary of the Maryland Department of Transportation, watched live video of cars heading westward on Route 50. Although only one lane of Route 50 was open near Queenstown due to bridge construction, traffic was moving at a brisk speed.
Mobley urged motorists to avoid roadways during the storm's peak intensity, and to make plans to work from home Monday if possible.
In Annapolis, residents and visitors in town worked to tie down boats in marinas or secure them to docks.
Racing was canceled on Sunday in the Hillman Capital Management J/24 East Coast Championship, hosted this weekend by the Severn Sailing Association. Stan Havik, who usually keeps his 161/2-foot boat at the association's marina, was busy preparing it for a drive back to his home in Millersville.
"It seemed like the prudent course of action," he said. "With this sort of thing it's kind of hard to tell what's going to happen with the tide and the surge."
Rick Paullin, another boat owner who was taking his 18-foot boat back to his home in Davidsonville, said wind gusts like those expected can easily lift his 480-pound boat "like a toy and toss it." And in a city marina downtown, David Bond of Rhode Island was preparing for a rocky night aboard his 37-foot, all-wood 1965 Egg Harbor boat.
"I've got her all tied up, and I'm working on my rope line plan here, but there's only so much you can do," he said.
In the eastern Baltimore County communities of Bowleys Quarters and Carroll Island, residents were taking no chances as they weatherproofed homes and businesses.
The loud whir of a blower pierced the air as Bob Collins, who has lived on Beach Drive in Carroll Island for 16 years, cleared leaves from his gutters with the help of his girlfriend, Melissa Figinski of Columbia.
"I've tied everything down and pulled my boat from the water, so we're battening down the hatches," said Collins, who owns Accurate Termite-Pest Control Co. "But you're really powerless against the water."
Collins said his home was heavily damaged when Hurricane Isabel rumbled through the neighborhood in 2003.
"Everything on the first floor was ruined. I lost my workshop in the garage. My neighbor came on his Jet Ski into the living room and saved my daughter and then-wife," he said.
And in Fells Point, a neighborhood that often floods during weather events, a spirit of friendly preparedness manifested itself.
Steven Bond, a city Department of Transportation employee, said residents helped themselves to about 1,000 bags of sand an hour throughout Sunday at the foot of Broadway. A similar amount of bag-your-own sand was distributed at Thames and Caroline streets.
"It's flowing out of here. We have a good system going," he said.
Tanya Dunsey, who lives on Durham Street, said she was taking no chances after she saw a "torrential river of water" flow past her front door during other storms.
Others took the precautions in stride and seemed to be enjoying the assembly of people, which often included parents and their children.
"Look at the sense community here," said Jessica Gergen, who lives in Butchers Hill, as she surveyed the residents helping residents fill their bags with shovels and move the 45-pound plastic sacks to car trunks.
At Kooper's tavern on Thames Street, bar server Jessica Garonzik was even making a special drink, named a Dark and Stormy, a mixture of dark rum and ginger beer. At $5, the beverage has been a good seller throughout the weekend.
Elliott, the meteorologist, said there are still so many variables in play that it's hard to predict just where Hurricane Sandy will rank in the annals of American storms, though he was sure it would be in the conversation.
"People are going to be talking about this for decades," he said.
But at least one Baltimorean guessed the memories might not be all bad. Garrett Giusti, who owns a home on Fountain Street, said as scary as it is, the monster storm is already bringing positives to the fore.
"I prepare for the worst and hope for the best," Giusti said as he dumped a few sand bags in his trunk. "But look at the good spirit here. Everyone is helping out."
Baltimore Sun reporters Scott Dance, Luke Broadwater, Erin Cox, Jacques Kelly, Chris Korman, Fred Rasmussen, Kevin Rector and Julie Scharper contributed to this article.

Entrepreneurship: Undergrad Major Wins Greener Ventures Contest
Between classes and research on her honors thesis, Alison Stace-Naughton '11 took a crash course in regulatory clearance and intellectual property rights. The hard work was worth it. She placed first in the Greener Ventures Entrepreneurship Contest held in April by Tuck School of Business for a vacuum suction tissue stabilizing device designed to prevent tissue damage during endoscopic surgery. A hefty $25,000 in prize money catapulted her ahead in her plan to patent the device and ready it for clinical use.
"I thought the contest would be a good experience to practice giving my pitch. Winning came as a complete surprise," says Stace-Naughton, cofounder and manager of Spiral-E Solutions, LLC. "Thayer encouraged me to take charge of this opportunity and to file for the patent."
Just 18 months ago she co-invented the Spiral-E Solutions Tissue Stabilizer in ENGS 21: "Introduction to Engineering" with classmates Ihab Basri '13, Brenna Gibbons '12, and Ph.D. candidate Scott Snyder '00 Th'01. All cofounded Spiral-E Solutions, LLC, and serve on its board.
Stace-Naughton took the most active role in establishing the company and achieving proof of concept. "I couldn't have done any of it without the critical business development advice of Gregg Fairbrothers and Scott Schorer," she says. Schorer '90 Th'91, a medical-device industry professional, and Fairbrothers '76, founding director of the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network, connected Stace-Naughton with patent lawyers and clinicians at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center to perform an in-vitro study on a pig stomach.
"Surgical procedures lack appropriate tissue stabilizing platforms, limiting surgeons' ability to effectively hold tissue and close the incision site without complications," she says. "Our device uses vacuum pressure to stabilize tissue around an incision and minimize tissue damage from any angle during surgery."
The young entrepreneur is now on her way to raising $400,000 to build a medical-grade prototype of the device. She plans to reach out to industry players, land an in-vivo study, and keep on with her studies. "I am hopeful that Spiral-E Solutions will continue," she says. "But I plan to keep the company as a side project as I write my honors thesis on neuroscience engineering and pursue a career in research."

Laser Training
Today, you have the chance to become part of an industry that has seen tremendous growth in recent years. This growth shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. This is the laser aesthetics industry, and it just keeps getting stronger.
People everywhere want to look younger. As the telltale signs of time creep up on us, we watch in dismay as tiny wrinkles form at the corners of our lips and eyes and our once vibrant and dewy skin turns dull and flaky. Skin around our eyelids and jawlines may begin to sag. We start to spend small fortunes on creams and lotions designed to counteract these little indignities and are let down when they don't work as well as we were promised. Then, we discover the wonders of lasers.
Cosmetic laser technology is part of the 10 billion dollar medical esthetics industry. Laser hair removal, IPL photofacial rejuvenation, laser tattoo removal, and many other laser services have become highly in demand over the last decade. These types of treatments typically last longer or provide more permanent results than services like waxing, shaving, or facials.
Last year, in the United States alone, there were over a million laser hair removal treatments performed accorded to the ASAPS. Nonsurgical procedures (like laser) increased 13 percent in 2013! With millions of these nonsurgical laser treatments being performed, isn't it time to look into laser training?
Take Charge of Your Life With Laser Training

We think of ourselves in many ways. We know if our personalities are extroverted or introverted. We know if we might have been a pegasus or a unicorn in real life, and we know who we have to call our family members. But have you ever given any thought to the color you might be?
Now that we have your color wheels turning, it's time to find out. To figure out the color you are most like, we will need to get to know you. From your lifestyle to the way you interact with others, you are destined to be paired up with a color that matches all your traits.
Color theory suggests that we relate red with passion and blue with serenity. It's still a mystery why no one will eat a blue steak, but we'll save that for an entirely different type of quiz. After we get to know you the best we can, we will be able to analyze your answers against the traits every color is known to possess.
Every answer you provide brings us one step closer to revealing the color that shines through you. Try to give us as many details as a Van Gogh painting, and we'll let you know which shade suits you the best.

The Do's And Don'ts Of Dressing For Casual Friday
While we adore analysing the runways and poring over designer mood boards, we spend a considerable amount of time pondering a more prosaic question: what should we wear? Whether it's a wedding, work affair, or weekend brunch, getting dressed for specific occasions is a constant conundrum. In the hopes of outfit enlightenment--for us and for you!--we're delighted to present What To Wear, our weekly wardrobe guide for every occasion. This week, we'll be covering what to wear for causal Friday.
The Goal: Create an outfit that balances work-appropriate and casual pieces for an overall professional, yet relaxed look.
There are a few hard and fast rules for wearing jeans to the workplace: no rips, no wild washes, and no skin-tight cuts.
Current/Elliott The Slouchy Stiletto Mid-Rise Relaxed-Skinny Jeans ($292)
A sharp blazer offsets more casual pieces like jeans and flats.
Zara Tuxedo Collar Blazer ($129)
While this Thakoon shirt is certainly an investment piece, you can wear it for decades to come.
Thakoon Sleeveless Cotton Shirt With White Collar ($525)
If you're going to forgo the pumps on Friday, a pointed-toe flat is a smart alternative. Save your ballerina shoes and sandals for the weekend.
Choies Toecap Pointed Ballet Flats ($64)
The clean lines of a structured bag feel more appropriate than a slouchy purse.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Goodbye Columbus Colorblock Mini Crossbody Bag ($298)
Overall, this rose gold bracelet feels refined and reserved, but the lariat tassel adds a fun kick.
Monica Vinader Baja Rose Gold-Plated Onyx Bracelet ($375)
The dry air in offices can wreak havoc on your hands. Combat cracked skin with this moisturizer, which has a subtle but pleasing lemongrass scent.
Lollia Wander Handcreme ($25)
Many stylish ladies are guilty of carrying tech accessories worthy of the Office Depot clearance bin. Make sure your iPad sleeve is as fashionable as you are with this graphic Marni version.
Marni Printed PVC iPad Sleeve ($230)

Becky had done a great job coordinating a Christmas window display in our Redwood City store, working with Nate & Chris & Mike to construct a sleigh being pulled by bikes. Over the past couple weeks the bikes changed models & colors as they were sold and new ones built. But tonight's display is special, because these four bikes are being donated to the Redwood City Police Toy Drive in the morning. It seemed fitting they should have a night pulling the sleigh, all by themselves. This was one of those things I didn't even think about until an hour after I got home, and Becky was working out the details for getting the bikes to the Toy Drive. It just had to be. So at 9:30pm we drove back down to the shop and spent an hour setting up the window with the chosen bikes and taking photos.
It was a special moment. It still is, as I type this. Kids bikes are as special as they come. More so than a $9000 Project One road bike with all the trimmings. Kids don't over-analyze a bike any more than you or I over-analyze a doughnut. They know a good thing when they see one!
To answer the obvious question, yes, Becky's staying in the sleigh all night. Just kidding!!! But the picture will live forever. Maybe we'll print it up and include it with each bike. –Mike–

4BETTER OR WORSE- The week in review
Latest in the Earl Washington saga: Charges are being brought against Rebecca Lynn Williams' real killer. Washington was convicted of her 1982 rape and murder, and was held on Death Row until DNA cleared him and Governor Jim Gilmore pardoned him in 2000. Genetic evidence links Kenneth Maurice Tinsley, 60, who is already incarcerated.
Second-best public university– again: UVA ties with University of Michigan in this year's U.S. News & World Report rankings of the nation's colleges. In national rankings, Georgetown edges past UVA, which slips to 24th, from last year's tie for the 23 spot.
Iviest: Newsweek names UVA to its list of "New Ivies"– 25 universities competitive with the Ivy League.
Biggest traffic jam: Police greet an estimated 9,000 to 10,000 vehicles on Grounds as 3,125 first years and 533 transfers mark Move-In Day August 19.
Biggest Turner slam: Karen Ramirez blasts former dean of African-American affairs Rick Turner in a Cavalier Daily op-ed piece, calling him "neither a scholar nor a gentleman," as well as skewering the university for lauding his tenure.
Better quitting through pharmaceuticals: UVA's addiction guru, Bankole Johnson, surveys the latest ways to stop smoking in the current Archives of Internal Medicine, and notes a couple of new drugs– varenicline and topiramate– that may make nicotine patches obsolete.
Best college/beer collaboration: Anheuser-Busch ponies up $1.25 million to build UVA's new Anheuser-Busch Coastal Research Center, which will be dedicated August 26. The new $2.5 million facility is a base for the university's long-term ecological research on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
Most magnetic: The American Nurses Credentialing Center dubs on-probation UVA Medical Center a "magnet" for its nursing care.
Biggest boot from alleged state office: Governor Tim Kaine's office writes UVA to ask that Professor Patrick Michaels not use the title of "state climatologist," according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Despite Michaels' appointment by Governor John Dalton in 1980, state code does not provide for the governor to appoint a state climatologist, his missive states.
Fastest growing: The White Hall district, which had 144 single-family housing permits issued the past 12 months, compared to five in the Jack Jouett district. White Hall includes growth area Crozet, but of those permits, 60 percent were in the rural area compared to only 18 percent in the designated growth area, according to School Board member Brian Wheeler.

Worst alleged news story: John Mark Karr claims to be the killer of six-year-old JonBenet Ramsay and is shipped back to the United States from Thailand, seemingly before investigators establish whether he could have been in Boulder in 1996.
Juiciest alleged news story: Osama bin Laden had a thing for Whitney Houston and allegedly talked about taking out her husband, Bobby Brown, says novelist Kola Boof, who claims in her autobiography, Diary of a Little Lost Girl, to have been bin Laden's sex slave 10 years ago, the Daily Mail reports.

Rushing in—where wiser heads might not
Popular writer uses 'AIDS evolution' to attack creationists
12 April 2005
One of the more annoying habits of the vociferous anti-creationist lobby is to pontificate on matters concerning creationists in a way that demonstrates that they have not even read the leading creationist literature (or perhaps they have read it, but think that knocking down straw men is justified to promote their agenda).
A favourite 'boo-boo' they commit is to point to instances of changes in living things (even sometimes in 'less than living things', like viruses) and then, often puffed up with high-and-mighty sarcasm, they say, in effect, 'Look at this—we're seeing evolution happening in front of our eyes. Yet these poor religionists are so blinded by their beliefs that they are denying this obvious fact.'
One example a few years ago was the popular science writer Jonathan Weiner, who in his book Beak of the Finch waxed eloquent on the subject of 'evolution happening' (in Darwin's Galapagos finches, mostly; he also gave examples like antibiotic/insecticide resistance, also refuted on our site).
Yet 'blind Freddy can see'1 that the examples he gave are classic examples of deceptive (whether intentional or not) equivocation (see this section of the article 'Logic and Creation', including an example of this questionable practice by leading atheistic anti-creationist activist Eugenie Scott). The issue is not whether changes happen—the issue is whether the changes that happen force belief in goo-to-you evolution. I.e. are they in the right direction (see The evolution train's a-comin' (Sorry, a-goin'—in the wrong direction))? Finch beaks get a little bigger when the rains fail for a while, and then get smaller again when the weather swings back the other way. And for this, one is supposed to fall backwards in awe and accept that fish turned into philosophers, and microbes into microbiologists? Weiner's work was reviewed in depth in an article published in TJ (see our website version).
The latest example is provided by another popular science writer, Carl Zimmer, who recently wrote Evolution at work and creationism nowhere in sight.
Zimmer refers to the way the AIDS virus is mutating and changing. Is it evolving? It depends on one's definition of evolution. If it means 'change', then the answer is 'yes, by definition'. What the reader is presumably intended to glean from this further example of evolutionary equivocation is something like this: 'Wow, I've just seen that evolution [meaning change] is a fact, so that means that if evolution [meaning goo-to-you and everything else over millions of years] is a fact, then I guess frogs really can turn into princes in time.' For more on such equivocation (switching definitions), see the article 'Who's really pushing bad science?', the section Definitions as slippery as eels.
Had Zimmer checked this website first, he would have known that far from creationists ducking for cover at this 'blinding new evidence' (as his article, especially its title, implies), we wrote an article years ago Has AIDS evolved which, in principle, raised and dealt with the points his piece makes.
One can have compassion for their misunderstanding, but it's hard to comprehend when such otherwise highly intelligent people burst into print in such ill-informed ways. And yes, it even provokes twinges of embarrassment for them, because it's so blatant. (Of course, professional anti-creationists like Scott have no excuse for such misrepresentation because they clearly do read our material.)
For a great teaching and outreach tool which deals with the whole issue of changes in living things in a powerful, documentary style, I highly recommend the DVD From a Frog to a Prince. It features both creationist and evolutionist experts. This includes the famous (and ardently atheistic) evolutionist Professor Richard Dawkins, who when asked to do so, fails to provide one single example of the sort of change in a living thing which one would expect to have hundreds of examples of, if bacteria really have turned into basketball players.
Note: The Australian Skeptics complained bitterly that Dawkins had been 'misrepresented' in the interview. The implication was that the answer Dawkins gave in his video was another one to another question, which had been 'doctored in'. However, this is not the case. Dawkins asked for the camera to be switched off to give him time to think, as a tape recording of the interview demonstrated, and the answer he came back with was the one shown in the documentary. The website of the Twin Cities Creation Science Association collates much relevant documentation—see 'Richard Dawkins and the 11 Second Pause'. Perhaps even more significant is the fact that the Australian Skeptics gave Dawkins three whole pages in their magazine to 'set the record straight'—yet despite Dawkins' bitter attacks on creationists, the requested example (of an uphill evolutionary change) was conspicuous by its absence.
- A useful Australianism, the meaning of which is hopefully obvious to all. Return to text.

Article: Sulli under another no bra controversy, suspicious voice saying "Pretty pretty"

1. [+1,683, -92] It's probably Gaeko's wife who said that. Not one person around her genuinely cares about her life. They all probably act like they're close to her when they're around her only to turn around and talk crap behind her back.
2. [+1,485, -193] Suzy's the same age as her and she's currently shooting various CFs, movies, dramas, and releasing her own album while maturing as a top star. Does tons of charity work, takes care of her fans, is known for her good character... she's now a star that the entire nation is in love with. Why does Sulli in comparison act like this is her last day on earth...
3. [+1,170, -34] The voice saying "pretty pretty" is Gaeko's wife ㅋ
4. [+142, -3] Anyone around her saying "pretty pretty" is egging her on deeper into the hole she's dug for herself by supporting this type of behavior instead of stopping it
5. [+116, -26] Gaeko's wife shows just how cruel women can be to each other... She's probably on vacation with Sulli and egging her weird behavior on saying "you look great" etc etc every time she does something crazy. The fox tendencies of women exceed that of anything men can comprehend.
6. [+113, -10] Choiza, Gaeko, and Gaeko's wife are probably on vacation thinking that this must be what happiness is... but it's not. If it weren't for you three, Sulli could've grown to be a bigger star than she is, she could've been a part of a bigger world. She is not old like you to be settling down and looking for happiness where you are. She's at an age where she should be busy chasing her dreams. You three cut her dreams at its roots. Not one of you thought to give her sound advice. The only thing you three did was stand in her way and cut her dream off. Choiza's the idiot and Gaeko and Gaeko's wife are cruel. Would you have done this to your own dongsaeng? Put your hand on your heart and answer it honestly. This entire vacation just looks like a sh*t show of idiots to me...
7. [+101, -6] Sulli's so obsessed with showing off her nipples ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ it's actually so hilarious ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
8. [+93, -19] Yeah, you look great Sulli, keep it up with the no bra. How about you go with no panties next time too?
9. [+85, -3] Gaeko's wife is acting like she's praising her and supporting her but slyly dropping her further and further into a pit.
10. [+84, -3] Why would any of you expect Gaeko's wife to be a sane person? If she was a true unni to Sulli, she would be reprimanding her behavior, not pretending to egg her on.
11. [+54, -5] Sulli's job: SNS titty star
12. [+42, -2] Did you all forget what Jinnabit said??????? Sulli does this on purpose to get attention...... so just leave her alone. Giving her no attention is what will really drive her crazy.
Article: Sulli, another SNS controversy... this time a 'doll' netizens are arguing over
Source: Sports Donga via Nate
1. [+981, -39] Don't give the attention wh*re more attention
2. [+974, -48] First that no bra picture, now this... she's not just an attention wh*re anymore, she needs mental help..
3. [+834, -48] This isn't funny anymore... She's nothing but an attention wh*re without an ounce of meaning to her pictures
4. [+36, -0] Maybe this doll is a preview of how she's going to pose for her next picture ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+19, -1] At this point, it's a battle of who wins between her and the netizens

Google may well be working on its Google Project Glass augmented reality visors, but British defence company BAE Systems has delivered its Tornado Helmet Mounted Cueing System to the Royal Air Force, proving that heads-up displays are already fully operational in the military.
Now operational on Tornado GR4 aircraft utilised in Afghanistan, the HMCS projects live data in front of the pilot's eye, allowing them instantly to access points of interest. It should also help them immediately to identify allied forces, helping to cut down on "friendly fire" incidents.
"The Tornado HMCS capability has greatly enhanced the crews' situational awareness and resource management, enabling the rapid identification of points of interest in the homogeneous Afghan environment," said Wing Commander Kurt Hill, FAST Tornado capability manager.
Martin Taylor, BAE Systems' combat air support director, added: "Over the coming months, we will continue to work with the customer, to provide the capability across the wider Tornado fleet."
BAE Systems already utilises helmet-mounted display (HMD) technology in other military applications, including helmet-mounted night vision systems, helmet-mounted sighting systems, and monocular and binocular displays.

Margrit Mondavi's Sketchbook
Robert Mondavi Winery is proud to honor the extraordinary life of Margrit Mondavi, its Vice President of Cultural Affairs, with the much-anticipated release of Margrit Mondavi's Sketchbook: Reflections on Wine, Food, Art, Family, Romance and Life. Available July 12, 2012, the elegant 147-page hardcover book highlights a collection of intriguing, personal stories, including reflections on her life with the late Napa Valley iconic vintner, Robert Mondavi, and a foreword by renowned chef Thomas Keller. Written with the help of James Beard Award-winning food columnist and author Janet Fletcher, and enriched with Margrit's own art/watercolor drawings, Margrit's sketchbook celebrates a lifelong commitment to creating a food and wine culture in Napa Valley through original, innovative programs that have become benchmarks in the culinary and art worlds.
"I'm reliving my life in a way," says Margrit Mondavi. "It is just precious at my late stage, or dare I say 'vintage,' to tell so many stories about the defining, joyful and hard moments of my life." A number of Margrit's close friends contributed with their own personal stories and anecdotes to provide an authentic, narrative portrait of Margrit. "She has become, for me, a model of how to live and regardless of age touch people's lives for the better. She lives in style but her tastes remain simple, and her capacity for relishing the dawn of each day should inspire us all," says Janet Fletcher.
"Her memoir, based on diary entries she has faithfully kept her entire life, is a testament to an existence filled with generosity and one that embraces every new journey," says Thomas Keller, close friend and chef/owner of the French Laundry. "This book, filled with glimpses of her unique and remarkable

Four-color-process printing can be a real challenge, and it only gets tougher when the job involves photographic reproduction. Learn about methods you can use to incorporate photos into your garment designs, boost their color, and enhance their edge definition.
Many garment screen printers consider consistent success with photographic reproduction to be the highest level of accomplishment. One of the reasons that printers cringe when a photo is involved with the artwork is that the human brain has an amazing ability to recognize tiny shifts in color and image correction. If the photo has recognizable colors in it--or what some people call memory colors, like flesh, wood, or metal--a very small shift in hue can make the whole design look wrong. The people in a design may look like they have high blood pressure or liver disease (magenta or yellow shift) or a wood table may look like it's in the freezer (cyan shift).
The difficulty in reproducing memory colors is that we often don't have all of the variables under control from the printing end, and our inks seem to take on a life of their own. When you say the term four-color process in a room full of garment printers, you'll usually see the room clear out quickly. Most avoid the process because it comes with wide array of variables that can cause problems during a typical press run. Even the most experienced printers who have a knack for four-color work still admit that before they earned their stripes, they were struggling to control the variables and achieve consistency.
Converting a photograph into a simulated-process print is an effective way to control the variables. The methods used to convert a photo into a simulated design are somewhat image specific, but they apply to many styles of photos. Controlling the color in a photo for simulated-process output involves preparing the image, adjusting the edge quality, and then extracting the colors.
Image preparation
The example in Figure 1 shows a simple black-and-white photo to which I had to add color. In a sense, this is the exact opposite of what you might typically do to prep a full-color photo for screen printing. We're always talking about limiting the number of colors in an image, not adding more. But this method of colorizing an image does show how to create color in a section of an image without adding a lot of unnecessary colors.

Our service
Company information
Copyright © 1999–2019 FastMail Pty Ltd
"Backscatter" is basically "bounce emails you receive for messages you never sent". These are usually bounced spam messages from spammers using your email address as a forged
From address.
When email is delivered to a system, if there is a problem delivering the email (e.g. the account does not exist, the user is over quota, etc.) then most systems will generate a "bounce" email back to the sender to let them know there was a problem. The way to determine the original sender of the email, and thus where to send the bounce, is to use the
From address on the original email.
Unfortunately, there is no way for systems to verify that a
From address is correct (there are attempts like SPF and DomainKeys, although these have flaws). When spammers send email, they almost always forge the
From address the email is sent from. This is why blocking specific sender addresses is ineffective: spammers usually forge every email to come from a different address.
If there is a problem delivering the email the spammer has sent, then a bounce will be sent back to the
From address on the email, which is whatever the spammer has made up. The problem occurs when spammers use your email address as the
From address on messages. In these cases, you may get many bounce emails appearing in your inbox for emails you never sent! This is called "backscatter", and is unfortunately a consequence of how the internet email system was originally set up.
However, there are some things that can be done to try and reduce backscatter. When most systems bounce an email, they include all or part of the original email in the bounce. What we can do is check the original email as attached in the bounce, and see that it appears to have been sent through our server. If not, then we know it was an email sent by a spammer with a forged
From address. When this happens, we mark the email as "backscatter", and by default file it into your Spam folder. This action can be changed on the Settings → Spam Protection screen.
Unfortunately the backscatter filter isn't perfect. To work, the "bounce" email has to have part of the original message in it so that we can check if you were actually the original sender. Quite a few systems don't include the original message in the "bounce" (the most common being challenge/response systems that are supposed to stop spam, and just end up adding to the problem for others). In these cases, we can't determine the true original sender of the email, and thus we can't mark the emails as backscatter.
Our testing suggests the backscatter filter is still very effective, catching around 90% to 95% of all unsolicited bounce emails. Unfortunately, if for some reason a spammer is forging your address on their emails, then they may do so for millions of spam emails. Most systems will absorb, SMTP block, or discard the spam emails, but if even only 1000 of those end up bouncing (generating backscatter) and 5–10% get through, then that's still around 50 to 100 emails that arrive in your inbox. A lot better than 1000, but still annoying. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do to improve that until more systems correctly attach the original email to the bounce message.
As part of the backscatter analysis process, we attach a header to the email when we think it might be backscatter. The header is called
X-Backscatter and can be one of the values:
Yes — This email is detected as backscatter.
NotFound1 — We thought this email might be backscatter (eg the
From address is a postmaster type address), but we couldn't find the original message attached in any way.
NotFound4 — We thought we had found the attached original message, but something about it was corrupted and it's not a valid format message.

Palo Alto, CAUSA
March 26, 2015
No introduction yet
If you'd like to contact the organizers, please send us email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We meet quarterly to share lessons learned on various topics including computer science, design, HCI, complex systems development, programming languages, compiler optimization, cryptography, computer music, AI... and whatever else the group finds interesting.
The common thread is that most of the presenters & audience know at least one dialect of Lisp (e.g. Common Lisp, Scheme, Clojure, Emacs Lisp, etc). But it is definitely a polyglot (not just Lisp-related) group, and presentations on non Lisp-related subjects are encouraged.
The format is usually one long-form talk (between twenty minutes and one hour) followed by several "educational lightning talks" (background + five-minute presentation + five minutes for Q&A), with all attendees invited to present if they feel like it. Followed by snacks.
We're beginning to record video of many of our talks and put them on YouTube. You can find them here:

Academics at Prescott College
Expressive Art Therapy
Expressive Art Therapy blends a passion for art with the skills of counseling. The program follows the educational guidelines of the American Art Therapy Association and the International Expressive Art Therapy Association for becoming a registered expressive art therapist, and the requirements for licensure with the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health. Students seeking licensure in other states must make sure that their degree program covers the necessary requirements of the licensing board in their state. Depending on the state licensure requirements, the Master of Science in Counseling with a concentration in Expressive Art Therapy will take two and half to three years to complete.
In combination with the courses required for professional licensure, the student will engage in study of the history, ethics, and practice of expressive art therapy. Expressive art therapies involve the use of visual art, music, movement, poetry and performance, as well as the inter-modal application of these in therapy and healing.
The Master of Science in Counseling with a concentration in Expressive Art Therapy combines the 60 credit M.S. and the 30 credit coursework required for the Post-Masters Certificate in EAT into a 90 credit-hour program. This includes coursework, a supervised counseling practicum (in some cases a separate Expressive Art Therapy practicum), attendance at all colloquia, attendance at two Summer Institutes, and a capstone thesis paper.
Since 2002, students and mental health professionals from around the world have gathered at Prescott College for two weeks in July/August to take part in our annual Summer Institute. The goal of the Institute is to provide participants with a residency experience and the ability to study with the internationally renowned educators such as Cathy Malchiodi, Dariah K. Halprin, Pat Allen, Bruce Moon, and Cathy Moon. The Institute is very hands-on and a perfect venue in which educators, counselors, and students can learn in a supervised experiential learning environment.

text: What is Verification? Verification is an audit of your FAFSA application. The Department of Education initially selects 30% of all applications for verification. UAH has the option to select additional applications for verification based on particular criteria. In the process, certain documentation is requested in order to complete verification. Documentation can include a verification worksheet, student and parent tax transcripts, W2's, social security benefit statements, court documents, and any other documentation requested by the financial aid administrator. What is a verification worksheet? The dependent verification worksheet requires student and parent to answer questions concerning the current household as well as the members of the household attending a Title IV eligible university during the current academic year. Information on untaxed income benefits is also required. Student and parent tax transcripts and w2's must be submitted with the verification worksheet. The independent verification worksheet requires student and spouse (if married) to answer the same questions as noted previously in regard to household, members of the household attending college, and untaxed benefits. The student's (and spouse's) tax transcript and w2's are also required. How long does the process of verification take? Documents should be provided in a timely manner. Any delay in the receipt of required documents will delay the financial aid award. Documents received as incomplete cannot be processed. Once all documents are submitted, verification can take up to 14 business days to process. Verification documents should be submitted to the Financial Aid Office a minimum of 6 weeks prior to the start of the term. How am I notified of the requirements for verification? The Financial Aid Office will send an email to your current UAH email account requesting specific supporting documentation. New students should activate their UAH email account as soon as possible after being admitted. Once the term begins, the student's UAH email is used for any email notifications.

One-third Miramar facility's staff is in training, federal report says
Federal inspectors yesterday reported a growing shortage of experienced controllers at the air traffic approach facility in Miramar, the nation's busiest, prompting safety concerns.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, in a letter yesterday to the Department of Transportation, urged the Federal Aviation Administration to "address the staffing crisis before safety is compromised."
The department's Office of Inspector General issued a report recommending an expansion of training and employee incentives at the Southern California Terminal Radar Approach Control Facility, or TRACON, to deal with the shortage.
The number of fully certified controllers has dropped 32 percent since 2004 because of retirements and other factors, while the number of newcomers has ballooned.
According to the report, about one-third of the TRACON work force is in training, a figure that could increase to more than 40 percent later this year.
The national average at similar facilities is 27 percent, the report says.
The study was done at the request of Feinstein. The California Democrat has expressed alarm in recent years over the loss of seasoned TRACON controllers.
She endorsed the report's recommendations, including proposals to ensure TRACON has enough training space and air-control simulators, and to expand incentive programs to retain veteran controllers.
The Miramar facility services 21 airports, monitors 9,000 square miles of airspace and handled 2.2 million flight operations last year.
Spokesman Ian Gregor said the FAA is already moving to address many of the concerns raised in the report.
He said TRACON has beefed up classroom training and runs newer controllers through a broader range of air-traffic simulations. The FAA will also continue to offer $25,000 cash bonuses to veteran controllers who extend their employment.
"I think the report acknowledges what we've been saying all along – hiring and training a large number of new controllers is a big challenge," Gregor said.
He said Southern California TRACON has 230 controllers. There are 162 who are fully certified to manage the skies; the rest are new hires or trainees.
Under the Bush administration, the FAA established a staffing range of 194 to 237 controllers at TRACON. The report asks the FAA to ensure the range is sufficient.
The Bush White House also trimmed FAA staff and consolidated operations in Southern California and other regions, over the protests of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association.
Melvin Davis, San Diego-area chapter president of the union, said yesterday's report validated union complaints over staffing levels at TRACON.
"There are serious problems, and we've been saying that for far too long," said Davis, who hopes the Obama administration will prove more receptive to union concerns.
According to the report, the workload for each TRACON controller has grown 19 percent since 1997. Overtime has also spiked.

I love this book because it is full of excitement when the states switch places. It?s also funny and reminds me of being homesick when I?m away. My favorite character was Kansas. I am much like him because when I get bored, I get grouchy. The story was mostly about all the fifty states having a party and switching places. Now if you like funny stories, then you should read The Scrambled States of America.
I recommend this book to people who love to be at home because in the story, the states get home sick and miss their old friends. When they get home, they are happy.

Sometimes a food event will inspire me to come up with something I hadn't necessarily planned on making. Such was the case with this moderately spiced Middle Eastern chickpea and olive salad that I made specifically for *AWED*, a food event celebrating world cuisine. Siri is hosting this month's edition and she choose Middle Eastern appetizers as the theme. Originally I was going to make a halva, but suddenly the deadline was upon me and so I opted for something more familiar and simple that turned out to be decidedly filling enough to serve as a satisfying meal in itself alongside some rice.
Do resist the overwhelming temptation to add feta or goat cheese, at least the first time you make this. There will be a next time, yes there will.

It makes on think back to the vast expanses of GTA III, the game that pioneered huge open-world experiences. People spent weeks on that game, trying to complete every last side quest and find every package. In the vaults of the Speed Demos Archive, John "Silmaranza" Breedon shows off how he managed to do that feat in 6.5 hours. The whole thing took about a year to do but is impressive nonetheless. Who knows how long GTA V will be? It'll be a challenge for the speedrunners of the world, that's for sure.

We 3 gmas baked scones
Alrighty then... when you toss out the "let's make scones on Friday statement" you get scones 3 ways and three techniques... and absolutely delicious!!!
The lead in picture is mine, so I will show you the pre and post bakes now...
I mixed the dough completely in the food processor, yep even after adding the raisins... I had intended to add some orange zest, but forgot it... LOL... so these are raisin only ... the recipe came from allrecipes.com "Simple scones".. I brushed them with powdered sugar glaze and popped them back in the oven for a couple of minutes to shine them up.
The are crispy on the outside and nice and biscuity soft inside, very tasty...will make them again and try to remember the orange. We really love them... will have to find someone to share with. ;-)
Barb, made hers with cranberry and orange. Recipe from the book, Baking Artisan Pastries and Breads.
Have to admit that I wasn't really looking forward to baking scones. In all truth, my thoughts on scones would have pretty much echoed my grandson, who declined even a taste. "Yes, grandma I know what a scone is,-- a dried out biscuit that the British eat." I took the container in to the courthouse where his brother, who had said basically the same thing earlier did a taste test and kept half of them for at home before taking them inside to the office. The Carl Hitz recipe is so buttery and good that I know it will become a favorite. Would be easy to have everything ready the night before and then assemble and bake for breakfast...or lunch...or dessert... Since I found his recipe in several places online I think it will be okay to post it. If anyone makes these they will want the book!The variations for savory ones containing bacon, nuts and or cheese are an adventure to look forward to making and also easily found online. Helen made hers from an old family secret recipe from a friend of her daughter's... they never give the recipe to anyone unless they are moving away and would not be able to have them with them again...
She says it smells like cinnamon rolls are baking... that can't be a bad thing!!! As you can see....a great time with my sisters and 3 great recipes ... all in all a great day in Texas and Washington!!! Blessed neighbors, grand children and friends... and secret recipes that look pretty awesome. Next week is my turn... ahhh... You know I will think of something! Happy Baking all y'all!Diane, Helen and Barbra.

The Fourth of July is one of the busiest times of the year on the Jersey Shore. Of course this year, many communities are still recovering from Superstorm Sandy.
Determined to be prepared for the next big storm, some property owners are lifting their homes and businesses higher above sea level.
The people who do this work are called "house jackers." And they are in high demand these days.
From the Here & Now Contributors Network, Tracey Samuelson from WHYY introduces us to one house jacker from Slidell, Louisiana.
I'm Jeremy Hobson. It's HERE AND NOW. The Fourth of July is one of the busiest times of the year on the New Jersey Shore. And this year, many communities are still recovering from Superstorm Sandy. To that end, some property owners are lifting their homes or businesses up off the ground so they're better prepared for the next big storm. The people who actually do the lifting are called house jackers. And this year, they've come from all over the country to the Jersey Shore. From the HERE AND NOW Contributor's Network, Tracey Samuelson from WHYY introduces us to one of them.
TRACEY SAMUELSON, BYLINE: There just a few final bolts to cut to free this house from its foundation.
JEREMY PATTERSON: So you want to see? That's good, Greg. Let's go up a little. That's good.
SAMUELSON: Jeremy Patterson and his crew from Ducky Johnson House Movers came up from Louisiana for this job, a 2,600-square-foot home in Point Pleasant that really does not want to go anywhere.
J. PATTERSON: But it's been a struggle. We fought with this house because the way it was constructed. It was over-constructed, made for hurricanes. It was made not to come off the ground.
SAMUELSON: It didn't budge during Sandy, but it did take on water.
J. PATTERSON: Well, we've been kicking ourselves in the nuts trying to get this thing off the ground.
J. PATTERSON: And we finally got to the point where it's going up.
SAMUELSON: Inside the house, the crew has made a waist-high belts of wooden planks secured to the home studs with some 1,100 screws. Under the wooden belt, there are steel beams. Under the beams, 14 jacks that will lift the house in unison. The jacks push against the beams, which push against the wooden belt, which lifts the house.
J. PATTERSON: OK, we're going to go up a little. Here we go, Bud.
SAMUELSON: Bud is Jeremy's 16-year-old son, Greg. He's home-schooled so he can work alongside his dad. The whole family is moving up from Slidell as the company takes on more work here. Already, they have six crews working in New Jersey and others in Texas, Louisiana, Florida.
J. PATTERSON: My daddy move houses, and I'm too dumb to do anything else. When I was a kid, five years old, he takes me to jobsites to move houses.
Are you ready?
JACK: Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: Ready.
J. PATTERSON: Hey, Greg, are you ready?
GREG PATTERSON: I'm ready.
J. PATTERSON: I'm done. It's a generation's line. And we're all thankful because end of the day, we can sit back as a family and relax and enjoy each other.
SAMUELSON: Patterson mans a bright orange board with pressure gauges and a big lever that queues all 14 jacks to lift at once.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: Jack, watch inside. I can't get over the top.
JACK: I got it. I got it.
SAMUELSON: Slowly, the house starts to levitate just a few inches at first.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #3: What the freak is that?
SAMUELSON: The team cuts away anything that still rubs against the house as it rises.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #4: Hold it up. Let me check that steel pole.
J. PATTERSON: You know, I think there's always a spike in demand after a storm, you know, because people get flooded, and they don't want to go through it again.
SAMUELSON: Plus, new FEMA maps have expanded the size of flood zones and increased the recommended elevation for many people's homes. Those with substantial damage from Sandy are required to lift their houses to these new heights. FEMA maps and natural disasters, Patterson knows a thing or two about these things.
J. PATTERSON: You know, I flooded my own house. In Isaac, I took water in my house. I took 18 inches of water, in Isaac, my house. So I'm scheduled to jack my own house in Louisiana in two weeks.
SAMUELSON: The owners of this home estimate they'll spend 85 to $100,000 to lift the home and build a new foundation.
J. PATTERSON: It's truly a big stimulus package for the local economy.
SAMUELSON: Patterson's just one piece of that, the jacking.
J. PATTERSON: Well, then he's hiring a plumber. He's hiring electrician. He's hiring carpenters. He's hiring foundation guys.
SAMUELSON: Patterson is so in demand, that for the last couple of months, a Canadian reality TV crew has been following him around, filming his house-jacking escapades. But with so much work to be done, Patterson worries newcomers will want to get into the business. He says homeowners should make sure that their elevator is fully insured, that they're using a unified jacking system, that synchronizes all the jacks so that they lift at once.
J. PATTERSON: And, you know, whoever is running that machine should have 10, 20 years experience, not a plumber yesterday or a carpenter. And that's the problem with any natural disaster, everybody becomes a professional of that subject real fast.
SAMUELSON: The house goes up eight inches at a time, before the team stops to build up these towers that surround each jack to support the house. The stacked wooden blocks look like a giant version of the towers in the kids' game Jenga. With the house resting on the blocks, the jacks are reset to lift the house another eight inches.
J. PATTERSON: Are you ready? Now, you're a small little thing compared to a good-looking, fat guy, I am. OK? But if you got to grab one of these blocks, OK? They weight about 80 pounds. They're solid oak.
SAMUELSON: Oh, yeah. Patterson is...
J. PATTERSON: Self-proclaimed good looking, fat guy.
SAMUELSON: Note, wait.
J. PATTERSON: Self-proclaimed best-looking house mover in the country. Gotcha.
SAMUELSON: So they go up eight inches, stop and reset, then eight more. The plan is to lift the house eight feet.
J. PATTERSON: Got a lot of work to do today, huh?
SAMUELSON: And a lot more work to lift the shore out of the way of the next storm. For HERE AND NOW, I'm Tracey Samuelson in Point Pleasant, New Jersey.
