Dragontooth Island is a members-only island which is situated off the eastern coast of Morytania. Players can travel here for free from Port Phasmatys by talking to the ghost captain, who is found on the south eastern end of the docks. Players must have a Ghostspeak amulet equipped when talking to the ghost captain or have completed the hard Morytania Tasks.
During Rocking Out the Idol of many heads is recovered from the Dragontooth Shipwreck accessed via the chain at the northern beach.
Though the island is of little interest to the casual adventurer, it is a natural respite of beauty to the rest of Morytania as this is the only place they are able to reach on the east side of the River Salve that is not plagued by rot, disease and marshland.
The island has a good number of evergreen trees for lower-level woodcutters. Additionally, with the release of Divination, there is a rift that spawns radiant wisps which require level 85 divination to harvest. Occasionally, a penguin may be found on the island disguised as a crate.
A lone statue stands depicting Saradomin, which was erected by a group of refugees fleeing from Morytania. The refugees left the island shortly afterward, continuing on their journey to the Eastern Lands.
After the One of a Kind quest, players can enter the resource dungeon on the southeastern part of the island. Inside are celestial dragons which can be killed for Dragon Rider armour.
This island also features in these three quests:
Since its release on 20 August 2013, a colony of radiant wisps inhabit Dragontooth isle. Players with a Divination of level 85 or above can harvest here. This update made the island very useful to diviners wishing to train in the skill.
In the 25th edition of the Postbag from the Hedge, Reldo the librarian shed some light on the history of the island. Before and during the God Wars, the island itself was used as a Saradominist outpost, until its destruction late in the God Wars (or possibly in the early Fourth Age; details are sketchy). After this it was dilapidated and unused for the better part of 2,000 years. Eventually, in approximately year 70 of the Fifth Age, refugees from Morytania landed on the island on a journey to the Eastern Lands, and erected the statue of Saradomin that stands there to this day.
- At one point players didn't need to visit Dragontooth Island to unlock its soundtrack, as they could gain access to it by standing on the western edge of Crandor mountain. This bug has been fixed.
- Before Divination was released, one would have to pay the Ghost captain 25 ecto-tokens or 10 ecto-tokens (if using the Ring of Charos (a)) to visit the island.

The Band: THE CROOKES
The Release: SOAPBOX
The Formats: DIGITAL / COMPACT DISC / VINYL ALBUM
The Release Date: APRIL 14TH 2014
The Label: fierce panda records (NONG 86CD)
The Tracklisting: PLAY DUMB DONT PUT YOUR FAITH IN ME ECHOLALIA BEFORE THE NIGHT FALLS HOLY INNOCENTS OUTSIDERS WHEN YOURE FRAGILE MARCY HOWL SOAPBOX
THE CROOKES consist of George Waite (vocals / bass), Daniel Hopewell (guitar), Tom Dakin (guitar) and Russell Bates (drums). They live in Sheffield and infamously found (most of) each other, bleary of eye and dancing alone, on the indie dancefloor at the citys Fuzz Club near the close of the previous decade. Five years, 40-odd songs and hundreds of live shows down the line The Crookes are now hardly lacking in fans, followers or worthwhile friends but their new Soapbox album still sees them revel in the role of loners.
The most obvious theme that runs through the entire album is the idea of The Outsider, frets guitarist and lyricist Daniel. As a band that seems to suit us never invited inside, but never wanting to be. I can empathise more with the madman standing on his soapbox, slowly gaining an audience by speaking with passion and honesty.
Taking the role of The Outsider to its logical extreme, Soapbox saw the band forego the studio-related home comforts of South Yorkshire and instead drive their gear and recording facilities to the Alpine wilds of Italy at the start of winter. We recorded at the very top of a mountain quite literally in a cloud in a very old church dedicated to San Antonio, Daniel beams. We saw nobody for weeks on end (except for a couple of hunters) and quickly forgot about the outside world. We nearly crashed and died trying to get all the gear up the narrow winding road that took you to Valle di Preone, a road marked with monuments for all the people who had slipped off before. We took a photograph of the church at night and the following day saw that an upside down crucifix had appeared in the picture although we couldnt work out how
If these pleasures were a wayward distraction then the band's sense of isolation manifested itself in Soapbox, a record which is littered with put downs and push offs, from Fools like us, we dont belong in When Youre Fragile to Dont you dare compare me to poster boys too thick to see the truth in angry, twangy lead-off single Play Dumb (released on March 3rd). One of these songs is called, simply and cruelly, Dont Put Your Faith In Me, while Outsiders sees them sigh, Everyone you love will leave you in the end.
Yet if this all suggests moping foppishness to a crippling Bridesheadian degree the meaty, chest-beating sound of Soapbox shows there is fire in the eyes lurking behind those floppy fringes. Aside from the sweetly serene Howl and a wistful Holy Innocents Soapbox is packed full of stroppy riffs and emboldened stompings, for these are rebels who barely pause for breath. You may well have been hooked by The Crookes before: on the BBC 6 Music playlist, perhaps. Or maybe supporting Richard Hawley or Little Comets, or at SXSW, or on one of their many gentlemanly excursions around Europe, or in your local local on one of their numerous tours of Blighty.
You certainly couldnt accuse The Crookes of shirking their tidy shirt-wearing duties: working to an agenda which would cause the shrinking three-gigs-and-out violets of East London palpitations on September 27th 2010 they released the Dreams Of Another Day mini-album; in the spring of 2011 came the Chasing After Ghosts album; the spring of 2012 saw the release of the Hold Fast album. Spring 2013 was relatively quiet they merely released the Bears Blood / 'Dance In Colour' standalone single and headlined Londons Scala. But as sure as the daffodils bloom and the cherry blossom blossoms so spring 2014 sees The Crookes deliver this here Soapbox longplayer, thereby become the first band to release three albums on fierce panda since the mighty Death Cab For Cutie a decade ago. You cant fault their creativity or consistency. Unless youre an uncaring bastard, of course. Which would make you very unlike The Crookes.
This is definitely the bravest collection of songs weve ever written, states a steely Daniel. Musically weve definitely grown up (after many years of slaving away). It certainly isnt a happy, carefree album. But again, the intention has never been to make people like us but simply to make music that we like. The day after the release of 'Soapbox' The Crookes head out once again to visit your local local, like this:

Reminder: Stand with Walmart Workers on April 15
On Wednesday, the working families behind OUR Walmart and Making Change at Walmart are taking action to make sure that the retail giant knows that its recent moves to increase wages for some workers isn't enough. They want you to join them and fast-food and other low-wage workers in the Fight for $15 on April 15 at actions across the country. The organizations will continue their call for Walmart to raise wages to a minimum of $15 an hour and offer workers consistent full-time hours. They say:
America can't build a strong future with poverty wages. When large, profitable companies like Walmart, McDonald's and others hold down wages, benefits and access to hours, it hurts all of us. Ordinary people who work hard are being paid so little that too many can't afford basics like groceries, rent or transportation. When families are trapped in poverty, the American economy suffers, and we, as taxpayers, end up footing the bill. It's wrong that the 1% of companies like Walmart are rigging the system for their benefit at the expense of workers, our communities, the environment and our economy.

Simple java application that shows Facebook graph
- Status Completed
- Budget €30 - €250 EUR
- Total Bids 12
Project Description
I need a simple Java application that connects to Facebook Graph API ( [url removed, login to view] ) and does 2 things:
- shows information about the current user (the one that the api key belongs to)
- shows a graphic representation of friends like this: [url removed, login to view] It doesn't have to be that nice looking, but the idea is to have that circles with friends and links between them (which friends are friends with which friends, if possible the ones that share many links showed in the same place)
If it helps, you can use RestFB library ( [url removed, login to view] ).
The application will have a single screen with the following information:
- a text box that is used for pasting the facebook api developer key
- a button that is used to connect to facebook with the provided key and retrieve the information
- a larger text box that will show the text information of the current user (name, bio, etc... whatever else can be retrieved about the current user)
- a block that will show the connections in a graphical way, like the picture posted above
Any exceptions given by the facebook api should be displayed on screen (preferably in an alert box).
I need this to be finished no later that june 25th 2013 (in less than a week).

Awards | Medal of Honor Purple Heart |
Daniel John Shea (January 29, 1947 – May 14, 1969) was a soldier in the US Army who posthumously received the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions and sacrifice of life during the Vietnam for actions occurring in the Quang Tri Province on May 14, 1969.
Shea joined the Army from New Haven, Connecticut in 1967.[3]
The Shea-Magrath Sports Complex at Norwalk High School in Connecticut is partially named in his honor. Shea Island off the coast of Norwalk is also named for him.
Medal of Honor citation[edit]
Private First Class Shea's official Medal of Honor citation reads:[2]
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Pfc. Shea, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 3d Battalion, distinguished himself while serving as a medical aidman with Company C, 3d Battalion, during a combat patrol mission. As the lead platoon of the company was crossing a rice paddy, a large enemy force in ambush positions opened fire with mortars, grenades and automatic weapons. Under heavy crossfire from 3 sides, the platoon withdrew to a small island in the paddy to establish a defensive perimeter. Pfc. Shea, seeing that a number of his comrades had fallen in the initial hail of fire, dashed from the defensive position to assist the wounded. With complete disregard for his safety and braving the intense hostile fire sweeping the open rice paddy, Pfc. Shea made 4 trips to tend wounded soldiers and to carry them to the safety of the platoon position. Seeing a fifth wounded comrade directly in front of one of the enemy strong points, Pfc. Shea ran to his assistance. As he reached the wounded man, Pfc. Shea was grievously wounded. Disregarding his welfare, Pfc. Shea tended his wounded comrade and began to move him back to the safety of the defensive perimeter. As he neared the platoon position, Pfc. Shea was mortally wounded by a burst of enemy fire. By his heroic actions Pfc. Shea saved the lives of several of his fellow soldiers. Pfc. Shea's gallantry in action at the cost of his life were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the U.S. Army.[2]

We're heading off to my son's tennis class with these belated Valentine tennis cookies. I was picturing them cuter in my head :), but I think the kids will like them. I toyed with the idea of making pink racquets with red hearts and red racquets with pink hearts...you know, really valentine them up...but got vetoed by the boys around here. Next time, I'll bake first, ask questions later!
Those hearts are big heart sprinkles from Sur La Table. I just attached them with a little blob of royal icing (piping consistency) on the dried cookies.

- - Got to clock Gina Miles through the warm-up gate today!
Got to clock Gina Miles through the warm-up gate today! Some of our Pony Club members volunteered to work the big event at Galway Downs today. We were working the Roads and Tracks part and Gina Miles was riding Wallenda and we got to get a close up view and greet her and wish her luck and ask how it went as she went through our gate 4 times. There were so many gorgeous horses coming through and amazingly some of them hadn't even really broken a sweat after the 3K warm-up and then the steeple chase portion! Saw some of the steeplechase from afar and those horses were really hauling and having fun! Great day! Got a certificate to come back and school there :) |
That is totally awesome! What a great experience to have! Make sure you get lots of pictures when you go back to school cc!! |
Awesome! The steeplechase speed was like 520 mpm or something, I don't know if it was for the P3D or the T3D though. |
That's totally awesome! I haven't really heard much from Gina Miles lately. I was cheering her on through the 2008 Olympics though! lol |
^I think she's been working on bringing along younger horses. |
I read that the other day. Can't wait to see them in action! |

It's a familiar litany now, that the openness and transparency of social media will unleash a wide range of compelling outcomes for our organizations, if we'll only embrace it. While there is little doubt that social media is one of the great phenomenons of our age, there are certainly those that think the hype surrounding it is also a bit over-egged.
Yet a growing set of compelling examples is showing us unique and vitally useful outcomes that are only possible in social media. For those just catching up with the story, part of the uniqueness and power of social media is that it generaly makes the information that's shared — using social networks, blogs, and other forms — public by default.
This is in contrast to earlier forms of analog and digital communication, where we were required to have perfect foreknowledge of who should be involved in a conversation, such as their phone number(s), e-mail address(es), or other contact info. Everyone else was automatically excluded from the process and the contents of the discourse itself was largely invisible and left little behind.
In sharp contrast to this model, as we've learned through a decade of global online experimentation, that it's often best when we don't overly call-out the precise identities of those we wish to converse with. Instead, we've discovered instead that it's better for us to let those who find value in what we're saying to find us by what we say (typically via search or recommendation by friend or technology.) This enables us both embrace and enable serendipity, emergence, and open innovation and this — as MIT's Andrew McAfee recently pointed out for the business world — lets us bring enough of the right people together dynamically to create the most interesting and useful results possible.
The result is a rich tapestry of conversations and information that everyone can join in on if they desire, or benefit from later on.
Related: Social media taps more directly into the power laws of digital networks
It's also turned out that the default public mode of social media, though it can also cause no end of headaches for companies in industries where information tends to be very private and controlled, allows us to realize certain very significant new scenarios that older communications technologies simply couldn't (or sometimes, just wouldn't.) What scenarios you ask? The most important and broadest one is letting us perceive virtually all global conversation across social media in real-time and analyze it. While observing such conversations has been possible for a while, the timeliness hasn't been easy to achieve, nor effective analysis.
Scale is the first part of the problem with such timely analysis of social media, especially when it must be thorough and accurate. As I pointed out in my last post, that there are hundreds of large social networks, millions of blogs, and countless online communities and forums to look at and engage with. Important and business relevant conversations can be found in far-flung corners that must be examined, or we potentially pay the consequences. As Douglas Merrill pointed out yesterday in the Harvard Business Review blogs, adding new signals is one of the single most valuable ways to improve data analysis.
Thus, forging an integrated picture that truly conveys the constant and endless stream activities and insights within social media conversation is a relatively new phenomenon, enabled by a growing raft of so-called "big data" technologies like Hadoop and Mahout.
Related: 'Big Data' or 'corporate spying'?
Isolating relevant meaning from the noise is the second part of the problem, because the form and content of social media is relatively unstructured and informal. It's also filled with rich media, particularly pictures, as well as video and audio. Given the vast diversity inherent in the nearly 1.5 billion worldwide participants, including their language, cultures, customs, and idioms and it's clear that even if we can actualy process all of this conversation quickly enough, making sense of it all is as big — and probably much more substantial — a challenge.
Yet perhaps it really doesn't have to be all that hard, depending on what we're trying to accomplish. In collecting compelling examples of what we can do by simply by listening to and analyzing social media, it quickly becomes pretty obvious that we don't necessarily have to boil the entire ocean of scale and semantics when it comes to making social media strategically useful. In fact, some of the best examples often take relatively simple data sets and infer the meaning by combining them together with straightforward geographic visualizations, for instance. That said, the more signal and analysis we apply, the more accurate and useful the insights will be.
Related: How social media and big data will unleash what we know
While it's clear that we're still in the early, formative stages of social media analysis, it's equally clear that there is a great deal of business and civic utility in applying its techniques to our lives and work today. I've collected 10 good instances of what's possible, with thanks to Tom Raftery of Greenmonk for identifying some of the stellar examples in this gallery.

This graph shows the most recent 1,000 tweets involving ZDNet on the afternoon of November 7th. It shows that conversations about 'Microsoft', 'Skype', and 'mobile' were the most interesting — or at least the largest — public conversations of that time period about ZDNet.

I seem unable to link to any wordpress blogs on the side bar over left there, so go here to see Luc's awesome adventure across the St Elias from Yakutat to McCarthy.
The packrafts as sleds are so cool in that big mtn landscape -- and Luc in an avy is a bit sobering. Be sure to check it out.
The only bummer about it is that it seems to have somehow tuckered that young wimpersnapper out to the point he can't go run steep creeks in the Brooks Range with us next week.....shucks!
I think it's the expedition of the year so far, although Caroline and Pat are still at it, only halfway through their trip to Kotz from Bellingham.

10 Comments on "Anil de Mello's Rocketboom problem (Or the old media skill that's not going away)"
August 22, 2007 at 9:23 amOh, and you're right. Making a videoblog is more than just making videoblog!
August 22, 2007 at 7:02 pm[…] Anil de Mello's Rocketboom problem (Or the old media skill that's not going away) [image] I like Anil de Mello. He has vision. While most of the internet was focusing on building blog networks Anil […] […]
August 23, 2007 at 11:50 pmThey all run into problems once money gets involved. Big sums of money are always a problem.
September 6, 2007 at 8:37 amUnfortunately if Mobuzz had practiced what most companies would consider to be ethical and professional business practice Susan would not have left. After presenting for National and International broadcasters one could logically assume it would take more than a few misguided comments from the mostly pubescent Mobuzz audience to provoke Susan to leave! Then lets factor in the heavy doctoring of Mobuzz' forum in order to propagate the myth that Susan was not popular – in order to put a spin on their own shortcomings. Pretty much all postings supporting Susan have been taken down by Mobuzz and if people had been following the show when Susan was presenting it, they would have witnessed around 80% of the comments being pro-Susan. In fact this won't hold up for much longer – especially in lieu of the amount of other work offers Susan has had and indeed with the commencement of a new show she will be presenting very shortly. As Anil himself admitted they now have difficulty finding a new presenter – who may well have to move country – something they were woefully unprepared for when Susan arrived. Also lets not lose fact of the reasons Karina left in the first place. When I spoke to her in Madrid she expressed complete dissatisfaction with Anil and some of the backroom staff regarding their unprofessional approach. Meanwhile Anil maintained he had to get rid of Karina due to dramatically falling viewing figures (English version) since Jan 07. I think Karina's pretty bright, I think Susan's pretty bright.. Mobuzz still have no presenter…… you do the math?!
September 19, 2007 at 2:39 amKarina was great. She made the show what it was. Susan was the worst presenter possible. I hated her and stopped watching completly when she was presenting. She couldn't read the prompter properly without gasping for air and pausing in all the wrong times of a sentence. Her accent was very thick and her smile very fake and painful to watch. I hope she never gets a job in the media world, she is better equiped for a desk job. I can't imagine that 80% of the comments about her were positive. Thats a blatant lie. More like 80% were against her. Good riddance… I hope they find someone like Karina again… Just my $ 0.02.
September 26, 2007 at 8:34 amFinally, I found out what happened to one of my favorite presenters, Katrina. Thanks Chartreuse/WordPress.com. When Susan took over, I hated the Microsoft commercials that began each show and let's face it Susan had some big shoes to fill. I watched Katrina for over a year and a half. I enjoyed the subjects she brought to the show and the wit and sarcasm were refreshing. I like Olivia. Today, she let a little of her science geek slip (Beagle II). This job takes more than just a pretty face. I takes someone who is part geek to talk to the rest of us. Thankfully MoBuzzTV has returned with the daily posts.

WHAT IS A BOARD MEETING? It is a meeting of your school district for the transaction of the business of the district. It must be conducted in a specified manner because laws and regulations require certain procedures. Board members, as elected State officials, must make sure that they take all the actions required of them at each meeting. Board of Education Meeting are regularly held on the fourth Monday of the month at 7:00 pm. WHO ARE THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBERS? School Board members are unpaid officials elected by qualified voters. They are empowered by the state to govern the public schools at the local level. Board members have no legal status except when sitting with other board members in a legally constituted meeting. Board members are elected to three-year terms in annual school elections, which occur in November. The board president and vice president are elected annually by members of the Board of Education at the re-organization meeting in January. WHO ARE THE OTHER OFFICIALS PRESENT? The Superintendent of Schools, an ex-officio member of the board, and the School Business Administrator/Board Secretary are seated with members of the Board of Education at public meetings. These school officials advise the Board of Education members concerning school and educational issues. They do not vote on matters before the Board of Education. WHAT IS THE AGENDA? The agenda is the order of business for the meeting. Based on board policy and procedures, the agenda allows for the efficient conduct of the board's business. It also provides for public information and general information on the issues, as well as progress and accomplishments within the district. WHEN MAY THE PUBLIC SPEAK AT MEETINGS? Comments from the public regarding action items may be addressed to the Board President at the beginning of the meeting as noted on the agenda. Comments on all other matters are reserved for later in the meeting at the second Hearing from the Public. When recognized by the Board President, one should come to the podium, state his/her name and address for the record, keep comments or statements to no more than three minutes. The Board of Education welcomes and encourages comments from members of the community within an appropriate time limit. WHAT ARE OPEN AND CLOSED (PRIVATE) SESSIONS? All meetings of the Board of Education will be open to the public unless the matter under consideration falls under one of the categories specifically exempted under statute, i.e., personnel, lawsuits, student matters or contract negotiations. Exempt matters may only be discussed in closed session, but final action must be taken at a public session. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WORK SESSION AND A REGULAR PUBLIC MEETING? Work sessions are planning meetings where the Board receives reports and information regarding the management of the school district from the Superintendent. Agendas and supporting documents are sent to the Board Members in advance of the meeting dates to allow the Board to study and review the information. During work sessions Board members have the opportunity to study and discuss specific topics in depth. Work sessions are open to the public. Action may be taken at a work session. The Board votes at Regular Public Meetings. During the Public Meeting it may appear as if some items are being voted upon with little or no discussion. However, this is not usually the case, since items may have been discussed at length at a committee meeting, work or executive session. HOW CAN YOU CONTACT THE HAZLET BOARD OF EDUCATION? The School Board welcomes your opinions and communications.Correspondence may be addressed to: Hazlet Township Board of Education c/o Christopher J. Mullins, Board Secretary
421 Middle Road, Hazlet, NJ 07730
MEETING AGENDA OPENING OF MEETING - Call to order by Board President, roll call, reading of the Open Public Meetings Law, comments by the Board President.
HEARING FROM THE PUBLIC - Comments from the public regarding items on the agenda are welcome at this time. When recognized by the Board President, one should rise, state his/her name and address for the record. Speak only to the action items before the board and keep statements to no more than three minutes. Comments on all other matters are reserved for later in the meeting. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES - For the previous meeting's minutes to be placed on file and be considered official, a motion must be made and passed for their approval. ACTION ITEMS – Motions are presented to the Board for decision. Many of these items were discussed and reviewed at the board's work session and placed on the agenda. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT - Items presented to the board regarding programs, issues, updates or highlights about different aspects of the curriculum, program or school district in general. INFORMATION ITEMS - These include reports of committees and other information that do not require action by the board in the form of a motion. The Board may choose to discuss particular items of correspondence, old business or new business. HEARING FROM THE PUBLIC on non-agenda items.

A taste for skiing
The tasty initiative on the slopes of Alta Badia, in the heart of the Dolomites
11th December 2016 - 2nd April 2017
In the last years, Alta Badia has established itself as an insider tip for skiers and foodies. Given the variety of slopes, the unique landscape of the Dolomites - UNESCO World Heritage Site and of course, the high profile gastronomy, Alta Badia is a beloved holiday destination.
Since almost 10 years, during the winter season, the fascinating interplay between skiing, nature and gastronomy is celebrated under the motto "A taste for skiing".
Top of the Mountains
Direct from Aspen in Colorado; from St. Moritz, Zermatt and Gstaad in Switzerland; from Ischgl, Lech-Zürs and Kitzbühel in Austria; from Sochi in Russia, and from Almaty in Kazakistan… the tops in taste on the slopes in Alta Badia!
If you have always wanted to ski in these outstanding ski resorts then this season in Alta Badia we can offer you the chance to taste the cuisine of these top resorts! This year's initiative sees 14 master chefs from some of the world's leading ski resorts pampering your palate with their culinary skills.
The formula is the same winning one as always: While skiing on the slopes of Alta Badia you we invite to stop in the mountain huts participating in the initiative to treat yourself to some of the exciting dishes prepared by the top chefs. Of course there will be many distinctive dishes and particular flavours to discover - the American taste from Aspen, fine traditional Swiss cuisine, and fine South-Tyrolean dishes. And, the more you ski the more you will discover!
"A Taste for Skiing" is a joy for your palate, a great innovation which has transformed the skiing holiday concept, introducing produce of the highest quality, a careful selection of natural ingredients, and it all goes to produce a happy, fun and super satisfying ambience.

But really, who doesn't already have this that wanted it?
In a strange move that no one understands, everyone's favorite Mario factory has recently removed original Wii U pack-in Nintendo Land from the system's eShop. Exactly when, we're not sure. NeoGAF users found the title gone from the digital store, and according to some it's been gone for awhile now.
Of course, this only applies to the North American store for whatever reason and, as reported by Nintendo Life, UK Wii U owners are still able to purchase the game digitally at full price (the price cut never made it overseas).
Some people are suspecting this is a push to sell remaining copies sitting on shelves (as new pack-ins are making its way into future shipments of the console), and their next thought being -- I assume -- Nintendo Land will one day make a mysterious return to the digital storefront silently in the night when we least expect it.

SugarSync Has a Ton of Features and Great Mobile Apps
SugarSync might not he the first name that comes to mind in the realm of cloud storage and syncing, but its a viable alternative to Dropbox and iCloud. SugarSync recently added a new feature for home/personal subscribers—remote data wipe. This is a great security feature, and the mobile apps for Android and iOS aren't half bad either!
Signing up for SugarSync can be done from the app, or the desktop. When you take the leap, you get 5GB of free storage. By comparison, Dropbox only offers 2GB for free. After you're set up on mobile, grab the desktop client and start getting organized.
One of the interesting differences with SugarSync is that you can designate any folders on your computer to be synced by the service. There is no single SugarSync folder, but you can still use it that way if you like. Everything you share to the service will be available in the cloud from a web browser, connected mobile devices, or desktops.
Both the Android and iOS versions of the app use a slide out navigation pane for getting around. It splits things up nicely by file type, sharing status, and time. There is also a search field at the top, which SugarSync used to lack. Users that keep their photos in SugarSync get an attractive gallery interface to view them in, as well.
Users can have designated folders synced to the mobile device's internal storage. Dropbox only lets you access the files online and pull them down manually. Unfortunately, the iOS file system doesn't allow new files to be added to the cloud storage. However, the Android app can add any file, from any app on the device to SugarSync.
The Android version of the app offers a few more features not available on iOS simply by virtue of the more open app framework. For instance, the first time the app is run on an Android device, SugarSync will ask if you want to automatically sync your photos as they're taken. That's a very handy feature, but it'll eat up that free space. If you need more storage, it comes as low as $75 per year for 60GB.
Now with that remote wipe feature, you don't have to worry about your important cloud documents being in the hands of anyone that might steal your computer. That might not do anything to return the device, but any added security is a good thing. SugarSync is rife with features, so check it out.

Can anyone see a way of getting from A to B?
So far the best I can do is:
Thanks guys
In the first step I used the property, that if two matrices have all lines with the exception of one of them equal, then the sum of their determinants is the determinant of the matrix that has the sum of these two lines instead of this line (and the remaining lines are the same).
Except for this property, all the remaining things I have used seems to be standard - determinant doesn't change when I subtract one line from another, switching two lines change the sign, if one of the lines is linear combination of the remaining ones, then the value of determinant is zero.
I hope there is not a typo somewhere.
Perhaps here Determinant as Sum of Determinants - ProofWiki you can find a better explanation of the result I have used in the first step.
If you mean the result about the sum of determinants, it is often used in the proofs of results about effect of elementary row operations on the value of determinant, like here Multiple of Row Added to Row of Determinant - ProofWiki

Ask an E-Readers Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello, I'm Nathan, and I'll be assisting you today. My livelihood depends on your positive feedback, so your satisfaction is my highest priority.
Sorry to hear you're having trouble.
This does not work well from the kindle itself, it is best done on your computer, via the amazon.com web site.
There are a few easy steps to fix this though.
First, go here:
there you can be sure your card/bank info is correct (right address, valid expiration date, etc)
From there, go here:
On this page, click on the SETTINGS tab at the top right,
then you can from there set a default card to be used for one click purchases on the kindle.
Under Kindle Payment Settings, click on the Edit Payment Method button, and you can set the card you want used for your kindle purchases.
After that, reboot the kindle by pressing/sliding and holding the power button for 20+ seconds, and it should operate normally from there.
Best regards,

Should also note that the item Turkey Shooter does not work on targets already transformed.
i dont know if everyone is having this problem but 2 of the main city tables wont let you pass or eat food on my server thorium brotherhood the tables in ironforge and stormwind will not let you do eather
Chef's Hat is invaluable during this event if you don't want to spend hours waiting to cook up all the food.
Darnassus tables need to be moved. Its complelety stupid that Horde has to run through a capital when the ally just pop into ours. Blizziards favortism shines once more.
I agree, if anything they should be at Ruttheran Village, we ally can grab all of the tables relatively easily compared to Darnasus. Hopefully they amend this in a later year.
Seems there's two dailies per faction city, so theoretically, you could get all the achievements done within two days. I could be wrong though, checking the others for more.
I'm going to plunk my "poor rogue" in the middle of Dalaran and make her useful.
Whoops, no daily in Silvermoon from what I saw, but it looks like you can get ALL cooking dailies in one day, interesting.
This event is soooooooo gay..... I hate it :( especiall the Turkinator achi :((
A tip for The Turkinator ; If you're ally, go to the south-eastern corner of Elwynn Forest. Loads of turkeys there.
So far Ive gotten To just to be clear you cant be in combat to get the arrowUC (which is just inside the front gate to the right)- you will flag just run in and dismount fast and squat fast tooSilvermoon- just outside the main gate just west on the map, it's easiest to hit the tables from the west, you wont flag if the guards aren't chasing somebody your waymore to followOrg was easy to do if you came up from the chasum/cleft running the length of Durotar, there's no guards by the south tables, so you don't flagTB-the tables are at the base of the elevators, your gonna flag as soon as you get within the ballpark of em, I died 2 times, once got me close, second got me the acheviment, jump and bubble(pally) or take the death and run like hell when you get back to your body or wait 6 min. GL all
I'm a troll rogue
There are no chairs at the tables near the capital cities, on wildhammer server (horde). Does anyone know if this is being addressed?
the cook 20 of each item daily are each separate so you can do all 5 at once
Yes, there is troll rogues... Go check out Emplo, on the server Mazrigoz
awsome, lots of help.

(By Richard Holway) First, let me declare an interest. I'm both a long term shareholder in Autonomy and I'd like to count Mike Lynch as a friend. Indeed, we had dinner together last night-although Mike both arrived late and seemed rather preoccupied with his Blackberry! At 7.00am I checked in for the RNS announcements and discovered the reason for his evasive answers to my questions.
Autonomy is proposing to acquire Nasdaq-listed content management software firm, Interwoven. Autonomy will pay $775m cash, a 37% premium, part funded by a share placing and a new credit facility. Interwoven had signalled earlier this month it is on track to generate $260m in revenues for 2008, 15% up on 2007. Autonomy reported just over $500m in '08 revenues. So from that viewpoint it's a pretty big acquisition and might fall foul of Holway's dreaded "Acquisition Indigestion". Conversely, Autonomy is valued at £2.3b – over four-times what it is paying for Interwoven.
I have to say that my first reactions to this are entirely positive. Content management fits well with Autonomy's current offerings. Web Content management and Search are obvious bed fellows. Secondly, Interwoven's strongest sector is Legal – again a great fit with Autonomy which has made its reputation in compliance and disclosure. Thirdly, the price paid is quite reasonable and the funding requirements (mainly using Autonomy's and Interwoven's own cash) is pretty conservative. Fourthly, the deal is earning enhancing almost immediately with an expected earnings accretion of approximately 20% in 2009, assuming a full year of ownership.
I guess my main reason is less objective. After four decades of reporting US software players buying the Brits, in Autonomy we have a rare example the other way around. Indeed, Autonomy is now the premier example of a BRITISH software company. I'm also a great fan of Mike Lynch. He clearly has the management bandwidth to handle this – although I'm also pleased to see that in recent analyst briefings he's been pushing forward other members of the Autonomy team and, indeed, talking succession planning.
The markets clearly liked the deal too with Autonomy shares up another 5%+ in early trading – adding to the near 6% rise yesterday on the results announcement.

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Indonesian, Austrian to form the Panel of Experts[TamilNet, Monday, 21 June 2010, 03:19 GMT]An Indonesian and an Austrian are to form the panel of experts to advise UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on accountability issues relating to the last stages of the separatist war in May last year, according to Sunday Times. One of the two members appointed to the Panel of Experts by the UN Secretary General Ban-Ki-Moon this week is identified as Maruzki Darusman, a former Attorney General of Indonesia. He was a member of the now defunct International Independent Group of Eminent Persons (IIGEP) appointed by President Mahinda Rajapakse to observe proceedings of the Commission of Inquiry mandated to inquire to 16 cases of human rights violation including the killing of aid workers in Trincomalee. The identity of other member from Austria is still not known, according to a news report carried by the Sunday Times. Mr. Darusman had also served in a UN panel that had investigated the death of one time Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto who was assassinated during an election campaign. The move, a prelude to a possible UN investigation into alleged war crimes, both by troops and Tiger guerrillas, is to be announced in New York in the coming week. |

Rabon bowls perfect game Monitor Staff Reports SEVEN POINTSAfter 43 years of bowling, left-hander David Rabon finally bowled a perfect game of 300. Twelve strikes, one right after another, came easily for the tall, calm, lanky bowler May 13 during league competition at Lakeplex Lanes in Seven Points. It was the first 300 game of the season for the Thursday Night Gutterdusters league, with only one remaining night of competition left (tonight). Rabon is on the Bust Em Up team with Aleshia Lansdale, Robin Putnam and Ricky Phillips. He currently has a 165 average and his team is fifth place. Prior to bowling the 300 game, Rabon had bowled a 151 and a 202. Rabon started bowling when he was 10 and comes from an Oklahoma City bowling family. His mother and sister are both avid bowlers. Although Rabon owns five bowling balls, his most recent purchase was the ball that rolled the 300 game. He bought the winning ball about nine months ago from Lakeplex Lanes Pro Shop when he was going to join league bowling in the area. Yogi Mixon, another fine area bowler, drilled the holes in the ball for him. Rabon has lived in Eustace for 20 years, and works for Story Electric in Mabank. Besides bowling, Rabon enjoys motorcycle riding.

Andrew Flintoff may not have justified his USD 1.55 million price tag but the star England all-rounder, forced out of the Indian Premier League due to injury, was a "good influence" on the Chennai Super Kings, according to coach Stephen Fleming.
"He bowled very well for us in the second game. But AB de Villiers had his day. He (Flintoff) has been a good influence as well. It's such a fine line between having a good day and a bad day," Fleming said.
Flintoff had to withdraw from the tournament due to a knee injury, which would require surgery. The all-rounder, costliest in IPL along with England teammate Kevin Pietersen, could not live up to the pre-tournament hype during his very short stint with the team.
But Fleming is not complaining.
"We are not going to get carried away. Flintoff is one of the great all-round players certainly I have seen. So, no concerns there," he told the IPL's official website.
Fleming, who has no previous experience in coaching, said he has settled into his new job and though the challenges of being a coach are different, he has not found it tough to adapt.
"The change hasn't been too much because I still have the playing aspect of my game if any of the boys get injured or lose some form. I still have the playing aspect. So the coaching side of things is great," he said.
Flintoff is a good influence: Fleming

Facebook is "holding off" the launch of its new phone in the UK following negative reaction to the phone and low sales in the US.
The phone, called the HTC First, was first released in the US in mid-April and aimed to base its success around Facebook Home – a "super app" that overlays the phone's home screen with news and pictures from the user's Facebook account.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, launched the software on 4 April, claiming it would "change the relationship" users had with their phones. Facebook has an impressive presence on mobiles with more than 680 million of its 1 billion users using the company's app.
It was downloaded 500,000 times in the first two weeks but received lukewarm feedback, with users dismayed about the "clunky" interface, lack of new features, and personal Facebook posts appearing on phones' lock screens- prompting privacy fears.
Reviews commented that while the basic handset was well-built and relatively fast, the addition of Facebook Home was little more than a 'skin' for the existing software; adding little functionality and providing customers with no reason to switch to the phone.
Facebook planned to release the phone in the UK this summer but is now asking its European carriers, Orange and EE, to stall the launch indefinitely.
"While we focus on making Home better, we are going to limit supporting new devices and think it makes a lot of sense for EE and Orange to hold off deploying the HTC First in Europe," said the company in a statement.
The news of the cancelled launch comes amid further troubles for manufacturer HTC. The Taiwanese company has been suffering from a string of high-profile executive departures, shrinking revenues, and fierce competition from Samsung – whose Galaxy S4 recently became the fastest selling Android smartphone, shifting 10 million units in a month.

Sunset on Mars

A version of this post originally appeared on Damia Bouic's blog. It has been edited and reposted here with her permission.
Long before Curiosity's landing, the description of the color camera made me dream: I imagined what wonderful pictures we could get of sunsets and sunrises on Mars. They finally came on sol 956, the 15th of April, 2015. Three years. We had to wait three years before the team who is responsible for the mission dared at last to point the powerful MastCam toward a sunset. And I have to say, theses pictures are gorgeous!
These pictures came back to Earth in black and white, with a Bayer matrix. [Read this blog post for an explainer on Mastcam's Bayer-filter images. -Ed.] I had to process them through GIMP with GMIC in order to rebuild the colors. A little processing in Pixelmator to remove these ugly white stripes due to overloaded pixels; a little bit of denoising to remove artifacts of the Bayer matrix, and voila!
Here are the pictures, all in PNG format. The last two frames were taken by the higher-zoom Mastcam-100.

Many part-owners of a business are not aware that, as shareholder of an Arizona corporation, they gain the right to seek to dissolve the corporation under certain circumstances, but at the same time subject themselves to mandatory buyout procedures which do not apply to other types of business organizations.
Under the Arizona Corporation Statute, A.R.S. § 10-1430(C), a corporation may be judicially dissolved, on petition of a shareholder, upon a determination that:
This statutory provision is, of course, a valuable weapon in the hands of a minority shareholder. However, a companion section of the statute, A.R.S. § 10-1434, significantly limits its value and usefulness by providing that, in the case of non-publicly traded corporations, the corporation may elect, by notice given within 90 days of the filing of the action for judicial dissolution, to purchase the shares of the dissenting shareholder for "fair value." The statute further provides that fair value is to be decided by a judge, without a jury, who is entitled not only to set the price but also determine the terms of sale.
By way of comparison, the Arizona limited liability company statute, A.R.S § 29-795, provides for judicial dissolution of an LLC, on application of a member, on the grounds that:
While the grounds for dissolving an LLC are essentially the same, the statutes are different in one extremely important respect. That is, unlike a corporate shareholder, an LLC member bringing an action to dissolve the company is not subject to a mandatory buyout of his or her membership interest.
Sophisticated business owners can take advantage of their knowledge of these statutes in a number of ways:
For the minority owner, these may include, under appropriate circumstances:
Conversely, as the majority or controlling owner, the approach should be to resist any of the minority-owner strategies outlined above. Depending on other considerations, including tax issues, the appropriate course of action may be:
Of course, the best course of action in a given case will depend on the specific facts and circumstances, including, among other things, the terms of any existing agreements, the relative bargaining positions of the parties and the amount of money at stake.
The experienced business attorneys at Jaburg & Wilk can assist the co-owners of a business at the formation stage, both in selecting the proper form of organization for their business and in drafting documents to protect their particular interests, whether as a minority or majority owner.

I am not just another gnome 3 hater in the most fashionable and popular way. That's, though I don't like the way it defies the traditional workflow, the biggest problem for me, is something else. It's the shoddy quality of the software, even after one year of its initial release.
Forget the usability, still the gripes are many, ranging from its integration into the system to how it talks with various other core components such as graphics, desktop effects, and the overall stability.
As for usability, I'm ok with putting a few extensions to tweak the desktop behavior, but not, if my graphic card crawls on this new desktop. Searched every forum, tried with gallium3d, failed. Installed catalyst plus vaapi with gstreamer and vlc backends. Still no-go. I am sorry, it's not for me. Moreover, my system wearing this new gnome skin coughs every now and then. Sometimes it stays irresponsive for quite long. That's simply unacceptable.
My Radeon HD 6310 flies on both gnome 2.32 and kde 4.8. I know I may achieve the same performance after some more workaround. Same with system irresponsiveness. But who cares!
Shoddy software quality, defiant community and bad usability = Gnome 3
How has been your gnome 3 ride? Please don't flame on the task management and workflow, just mention how stable the whole stack has been so far?

February was Danielles' (Petitselefants) month to be Queen bee in our Aus Mod Bee group.
She sent out a great selection of fabrics to use and even made up some templates for us to use which was great!.
I hadn't made these blocks before but they are really fun to sew.
So this brings us up to 12 months of making blocks for the AusMod bee . It has been a so enjoyable making such a variety of wonderful blocks for this great group. I am still in the process of sewing together the Chicopee feathers blocks that everyone made for me back in May.
Quiltjane has photos of her finished Refractatorium quilt and Pennys Lizzy House quilt in progress is here. There is also more in the flickr group AusModBee or on IG with the tag #ausmodbee.

The difference between Barolo and Barbaresco
Both regions are found in northwest Italy and they both produce wine with Nebbiolo grapes. So how are they different? This film is an inspiring look at two of the most historically important wine regions of Italy. It was put together by Master Sommelier, Geoff Kruth, for guildsomm.com .
The Wines of Barolo and Barbaresco from guildsomm
The Primary Differences
Different Soils
The main difference in Barolo and Barbaresco is in the soils. The soil in Barbaresco is richer in nutrients and, because of this, the vines don't produce as much tannin as found in the wines of Barolo. Both wines smell of roses, perfume and cherry sauce — and they both have a very long finish. The difference is in the taste on the mid-palate; the tannin won't hit you quite as hard in the Barbaresco.
What type of soil grows Nebbiolo best?
If we look at the composition of the soils of Barbaresco and Barolo, they are calcareous marl. Calcareous marl basically is a lime-rich clay-based soil. The lime adds a higher pH (more alkaline) which, interestingly enough, makes the vines produce wine grapes with a lower pH (more acidic). Acidity is a very important component for making high quality wines.
Different Rules
Barolo requires wines be stored for 3 years before release, whereas Barbaresco only requires 2 years. This could be because of the high tannins in Barolo that require the wine to age longer before being put on the market (and ultimately drunk by a thirsty public). Aging does more than just reduce tannins though, it also changes the way the fruit flavors taste in a wine.
- Barolo 3 years
- Barolo Riserva 5 years
Different History
Barolo is actually about 50 years older than Barbaresco and was named after a noblewoman, the Marchesa de Barolo, in the 1850's. Back when Barolo got its name, it was a very different wine. Barolo wines were made in a richly sweet and fruity style. It was much closer to how you might imagine a ruby Port or a very fruity Shiraz.
Barbaresco got its start in 1894, taking a similar stylistic approach to Barolo with their wine. Both regions suffered greatly to Phylloxera and were producing low quality wines during the World Wars. It wasn't until after World War II that a family producer called Gaia ('guy-uh') began to bring quality back to Barbaresco wines. Another great step to quality was the start of The Produttori del Barbaresco (a consortium of small producers) in 1958.
Buying Barolo and Barbaresco Wines
It's not uncommon to see prices for these 2 Piedmont wines reaching towards the $90+ mark. So we asked Sommelier, Rina Bussell, for some value-driven options to explore these great areas.
When buying wines from Piedmont, note that the vintage you buy matters. Keep these basic tips in mind:
Best Years for Barbaresco and Barolo Wines
- 1995-Current Vintage good string of vintages, except for 2002
- 2002 not a good vintage, hailstorms
- 2003 very hot year, but because of Nebbiolo's inherent high acid and tannin structure, the heat made for liquorous and generous Nebbiolos from good producers.
The Produtorri held up well against the others; the Marcarini was the perfect age (13 years) and the Contero was a bit more brooding and heady than the rest. — Madeline

Great Alternative: Langhe Nebbiolo Wines
Langhe Nebbiolo is an appellation in Piedmont and it's often made by the same producers as Barolo and Barbaresco. The primary difference is in the location of where the grapes are sourced. Some of them are from the less desirable slopes or from areas outside of the Barbaresco and Barolo zones. Either way, on good vintage years you'll find these Langhe Nebbiolo wines to have a great value and taste but without as much tannin.

We have great news for your wallet and your gas tank.
Oklahomans are enjoying the third lowest gas prices in the nation right now.
The only other states with cheaper gas are Missouri and Montana.
Experts predict these lower gas prices will continue thanks in part to strong domestic oil production.
Meanwhile, drivers in Hawaii are paying the highest prices in the U.S. as $4.02 per gallon.

Even before this came on, the entire first half of the new all-Timberlake SNL scanned like it was written explicitly for YouTube. Justin as singing cup-of-soup is damn near classic at this point: you couldn't get more viral without having the soup can sing Webstar and Young B. As for "Dick In a Box," NBC clearly is hoping for another "Lazy Sunday": by the morning after, it was taking center stage on the NBC video page under the title, "A Special Christmas Box." Will link to the Web rip as soon as it surfaces; hopefully we'll get one in time to play at Cami's going away party next weekend.
