Linux Mint 14 "Nadia" released
5 comments:
Can't wait to hear your thoughts about it seeing as Mint is my favorite distro.ReplyDeleteReplies
Will likely take another 2 weeks before I can seriously run it through its paces, then I will put something together.Delete
KDE and Cinnamon are very different. Yes, they share the same general layout, but Cinnamon is simpler and much less cluttered. Also, personally I find KDE too gaudy and flashy when it comes to appearance, although you can configure it differently. Basically, if you want ultimate configurability, go with KDE, if you want a gentle blend of simplicity, configurabilty, and good looks, go with Cinnamon. Cinnamon is not there yet in terms of stability though.ReplyDeleteReplies
Well, I agree with that view if we look at present times, but looking at how Cinnamon is evolving, I am not so sure. In any case, you said it yourself, you can configure KDE to be less cluttered, which leads me back to my initial point: What's the point of creating Cinnamon from scratch?Delete

On Friday evening, Robin van Persie issued the following statement via Arsenal.com:
"I'm on international duty at the moment but following several reports in the media I think it's important to clarify some recent comments attributed to me.
"These reports falsely suggest that I recently made negative comments about Spanish and Chelsea players, I would like to make it perfectly clear that I haven't done an interview with Sport 1 or any other outlet in recent weeks and I've certainly not been rude as the comments suggest.
"I respect my colleagues of Spain and Chelsea and look forward to playing against them for many years to come. I sincerely hope that all football fans worldwide don't take these misleading reports seriously.

Green Bay-Harvard Set to Battle in Shootout Semis
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – On Thanksgiving Night, Green Bay (3-1) put five players in double figures in one of the best offensive efforts in recent program history en route to a 97-89 victory over Pepperdine in the first round of the Great Alaska Shootout. Green Bay's Black Friday present for Thursday's win is a semifinal matchup with Harvard (5-1), the three-time defending champions in the Ivy League.
Green Bay and Harvard will meet at 11:05 p.m. CT on Friday night in a contest televised nationally by CBS Sports Network with Brent Stover (play-by-play) and Pete Gillen (color analyst) on the call. The Crimson is receiving voted in both nationwide top-25 polls and ranks No. 4 in the College Insider Mid-Major Top-25. The Phoenix ranks No. 15 in the Mid-Major Poll.
Junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) made all 12 of his free throws on Thursday and led the Phoenix with 23 points. Senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) finished with 20 points and a team-high eight rebounds, and junior Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) tied his career high with 18 points. Carrington Love (15) and Vince Garrett (11) each came off the bench to reach double figures for Green Bay, which shot 10-of-19 from long range.
On the defensive end, the Phoenix overcame a hot shooting Pepperdine squad by tallying 13 steals and 11 blocked shots. The 24 combined blocks and steals are the most in program history, with the 13 steals being tied for the 10th most all-time and the 11 blocks ranking third.
G – #24 Keifer Sykes, G, Jr., 5-11, 175
G – #5 Lamin Fulton, G, Jr., 5-10, 175
F – #4 Jordan Fouse, F, So., 6-7, 225
F – #15 Greg Mays, F, Jr., 6-9, 222
C – #21 Alec Brown, C, Sr., 7-1, 235
LIVE COVERAGE: For fans who are unable to watch Friday's game on CBS College Sports, a radio broadcast of the contest will be available on WNFL 1440 AM and GreenBayPhoenix.com (live audio) with Matt Menzl (play-by-play) and Andrew Gavin (analyst) on the call.
PHO SLAMMA JAMMA: The Anchorage Daily News tabbed the Phoenix as Pho Slamma Jamma in Friday morning's paper, recognizing the team's high-flying style and highlight reel dunks. Green Bay had five dunks on Thursday, with three coming from Mays and the other two thrown down by the 5-foot-11 Sykes. Sporting his 44.5 inch vertical, Sykes has at least one dunk in every game this season and a team-high eight of the team's 17 dunks this season.
FILL IT UP: Green Bay's 97 points mark the most scored by the program since tallying 106 against Northern Michigan on Dec. 29, 2005. The Phoenix has now scored 90 or more points in back-to-back games for the first time since the 1971-72 season when Green Bay defeated Northland (Feb. 26, 1972; 106-71) and Milton (March 1, 1972; 98-80).
SCORELESS STATLINE: With 97 points scored and five players in double figures, it is surprising that one of the most impressive stat lines came from a player who finished with zero in the scoring column. Sophomore Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) played 30 minutes and totaled seven rebounds, six steals, four assists and three blocked shots without committing a turnover.
BLOCK PARTY: Green Bay came to Anchorage as the nation's top shot-blocking team at 10.33 blocks per game, and delivered an 11-block effort on Thursday. Senior Alec Brown, junior Greg Mays and sophomore Jordan Fouse each blocked three shots in the win. On the season, Brown has 17 blocks this season, Fouse has 12 and Mays has tallied seven blocks. Of the top-9 single-game team block shots efforts in program, four have happened this year (13, 11, 9, 9).
MID-MAJOR POLL: Green Bay has vaulted up to No. 15 in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Poll after holding steady at No. 21 for the first three polls. Three other teams from the field of the Great Alaska Shootout are in the poll, including Harvard (No. 4), Indiana State (No. 6) and Denver (No. 16) all represented in the poll.
WINNING WEEKLY: Senior Alec Brown was named the Horizon League Player of the Week on Monday. The 7-foot-1 Brown became the second-straight Phoenix player to win the weekly award after junior Keifer Sykes won on Nov. 18. Brown and Sykes are the first Phoenix teammates to win in back-to-back weeks since Ryan Tillema and Troy Cotton in 2008-09.
HANDFUL OF HARDWARE: The fifth career Horizon League Player of the Week honor for Sykes ties him for the most in Green Bay history with Jeff Nordgaard. He also ranks tied for 12th in conference history, with former Detroit star Rashad Phillips holding the record with 10. The point guard won the award once as a freshman and three times in 2012-13.
SPACED START: Green Bay played only two times through the first 14 days of the season, tied for the fewest for any team in the country. Only three teams (North Dakota, Weber State, Denver) waited longer before playing their third game. The Phoenix was slated to play twice on opening weekend before the HBCU Tip-Off Championship was cancelled.
COMPETE, DEFEND, REBOUND: This signature Brian Wardle philosophy was on full display in 2012-13 for the Phoenix. In Horizon League play, Green Bay led the conference in rebounding margin, field goal percentage defense and blocked shots. So far this season, Green Bay is carrying over the mantra. Green Bay holds a plus-7.3 rebounding margin, is blocking 10.33 shots per game, and its three opponents have combined to shoot just 33.9 percent from the field.
IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN: Senior Alec Brown opened this season in select company as the nation's only active player with 1,200-plus points, 600-plus rebounds and 200-plus blocks. Brown is only the second player in HL history to accumulate those numbers and is on pace to be the first league player to finish his career with 1,500 points, 750 rebounds and 250 blocks.
CLOSE TO A GRAND: With 960 career points, Sykes is closing in on becoming the program's 26th member of the 1,000-point club. He is on pace to reach 1,000 points faster than all but two players in the program's Division I history - Tony Bennett (56 games) and Richard Sims (68). Only five players in program history at any level have scored more points through 68 games than Sykes. Transfer Ray Willis (1969-71) was the fastest player to reach 1,000 points, doing so as a junior and senior in a remarkable 39 games.

Wootalyzer's Pricing Post! - The price of today's woot item is saved here for future reference------------------------------------------------------------Energy Take Classic 5pc Speaker System$169.99 + $5 Standard OR $22 Two-Day OR $25 One-Day ShippingCondition: New*DISCLAIMER* Wootalyzer! is in no way affiliated with Woot!, and this post may not always be here!
Can't wait for someone to ask if this'll work with an iDevice...
These are highly recommended by cnet and I've had them for nearly a year myself and have been VERY happy with them. There isn't a sub included with this deal and that's a must-have for the system to be all it should be.
CNET Editor's choice and great Amazon reviews as well!
You'll need a nice sub-woofer and a great receiver, throw in some wires from monoprice and that is a pretty cheap pretty awesome system.
I have 3 Energy speakers from wOOt's past for a long time and love them. It is true that you will need a sub-woofer with the system, but sub is the item that does not have to match up with the rest of the system. I have a Sony on mine and all is good.
Adding to the deal are these energy speakers from Newegg which are on sale thru 9/23- Energy CF-30 2.5-Way Floorstanding Speaker: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882269013
I've had these speakers for about 3 years and have been very happy. Run them off an HK AVR 230 amp paired with a SVS PC12 powered sub. Awesome setup for the money.
These are fantastic speakers at any price but especially at this price. I got my set from Newegg for $150 but this is a great price as well. I have them mounted on my walls around my living room and they sound really crisp, defined and not small. They do not have that tiny, tinny speaker sound that a lot of small speakers have. Music and movies are both great through them. I have mine paired with a Dayton Audio 10" sub. It's better to buy them like this and get a sub than the set with the sub because the sub in the 5.1 set seems to be the weak point.
You will not find anything that sounds nearly this good in a small speaker set in this price range.
This is probably the best small speakers ever made. The new model Energy RC Micro 5.0 is also good, but it's drivers are smaller and doesn't go as low.
I'll take two. Another 7.1 system with spares coming up!
Too bad the subwoofer doesn't come with this!
Take Classic is a new name for the old Take 5 speakers. I've had the Take 5 speakers for several years and they're very very good, even for the money I paid for them years ago (closer to the $400 mark.) At this price they're a steal. Pair them up with a good subwoofer (doesn't have to be Energy) and you'll have a very nice home theater speaker set that will also perform quite well when playing music.
I've had the Take 5 speakers with the sub for about 10 years and have been completely happy with them. This is a great buy.
Really need that one. Only if I wasn't short of money.
In case you didn't know; Klipsch makes some serious kick-ass speakers.
Hey, feel free to get soaked at Best Buy - or take a ridiculous chance getting stuff off the back of some dubious van with a couple of greasy guys with thick accents. Or get a proven product promptly delivered from a reputable source committed to providing outstanding values.(is it me, or does that sound like a no-brainer?)
in for one
I've had these for over a year. Eventually added an Energy sub. Sound quality is amazing. This is a great buy!
Energy is a Canadian branch of Klipsch. Klipsch was acquired by Audiovox last year.
Agreed with the above comments. I already have a Klipsch system that kicks ass, so my wife wont let me buy another. But this is a great deal.
How about one of these, plus an Energy S10.3 subwoofer for $200, and a refurbed Denon AVR-1612 for another $200? That's a potent and versatile system under $600.
Owners rave about the S10.3 subwoofer and I can personally vouch for the 1612 receiver, as I've bought it three times--once for a girlfriend, and twice for different systems in my home. I bought one of mine refurbed, from this same retailer, and the condition was identical to brand new, just with non-retail packaging.
Incidentally the Denon 1612 *IS* compatible with your iDevices.
i also have had these speakers for about a year. i'm still astounded by the sounds that I've never heard before. please note: at first you will think someone is breaking into your house or running up your stairs even though you're home alone. it's ok - the house isn't haunted.... you just finally got a kick-ass sound set-up. enjoy hearing for the first time
In for 1, been wanting to setup a nice home theater for a while now and our Vizio soundbar, while decent, just doesn't do the job.
Already have a Dayton Audio powered 12" sub, so hoping they can match well. I'm no audiophile, so as long as it all sounds decent I'll be happy.
Now I just need to find a good receiver for around $200.
ShadowTech wrote:Now I just need to find a good receiver for around $200.
I've had these for about 6 months and they are excellent sounding for the $$. Perhaps not stellar sounding, mind you - but if you want to put together a nice budget surround system, don't hesitate to pull the trigger on these. I paired them up with a HSU designed Outlaw Audio M8 Sub. Great setup - short $$. Do it!
Bought these speakers about 10 months ago...easily the best thing I bought for my home. These things pack alot of quality in for a good price. You definitely need a sub for these as this particular set isnt designed to carry low frequencies(thats what the sub is for).
beleita wrote:...throw in some wires from monoprice...
Or just get some cheap zip cord from your local hardware store.
would these work well for background music in a 2000 sqft business?
I have had this system with the sub made for these speakers for over a year. They are incredible speakers for the price. I would highly recommend the sub to go with these
Tech! Woot! has the Sherwood amps on sale. Has anyone paired these Energy speakers with a Sherwood A/V receiver? I have only a 2-channel Yamaha receiver.
Got these for $150.00 from NewE** around January this year. They freaking rock...insanely solid sound for the price. I'd snag these up if you're in the market. I've read other reviews where these are being compared to Bose and surpassing them....I can't speak to that myself but my God do these things sing. Remember that you'll need a decent receiver and a sub-woofer to round out the setup.
PS I hooked mine up to a Pioneer VSX-520-K :: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/AV-Receivers/Pioneer+Receivers/VSX-520-K

^love mine. =)
Over in the Deals section there's a Martin Logan system with sub for $299. This Energy stuff gets people all hot and bothered because it may be their first small step up from basic consumer level crap. There's a whole lot of nicer stuff out there.

Sure, there's nicer stuff out there ... for at least twice the price.
For $169 these speakers are outstanding.
Can anyone tell me how these speakers compare to Yamaha NS-AP6500's? I'm not sure what I'm looking for, but just wanted to know how much these would improve my sound. I have a Denon AVR-591 receiver and a decent sub.
Here are the specs I found on mine.
Yamaha NS-AP6500F 5-Piece Cinema Surround Speaker System
Type: 2-Way Bass Reflex
Front: 6.5" Woofer + 3/4" Tweeter
Center: 3" Woofer x 2 + 3/4" Tweeter
Surround: 3" woofer + 1/2" Tweeter
Impedance: 6 ohms
Nominal Input: 30W
Maximum Input: 100W
Sensitivity: Front: 85dB, Center/Surround 82dB
Frequency Range Front 55Hz - 35KHz
Center 100Hz - 35KHz
Surround 100Hz - 35KHz
I ♥ Klipsch Reference and Palladium (Palladiums are well out of my price range for now ) series speakers. I have the RF-52 II towers and two RW-10D subs and they are fantastic, and I will be complementing them with four RS-52 II and one RC-52 II speakers, and when I move possibly two additional RF-52 II or two RS-52 II speakers (I have a 9.2 Elite receiver). The speakers are fantastic - even the RF-52 II speakers hold their own for bass (Pink Floyd and classical music are my preferred program matter). The highs are clear and crisp even off-axis, without the harshness normally associated with horn drivers.
HOWEVER: I do not like the Synergy and Energy lines. /For the price and size/ they are excellent, but for a modest amount more, you can get into Reference speakers. The highs and mids don't boast the awesome clarity and definition Klipsch has long been known for, and they don't handle the same level of power either.
If I had to guess, I'd guess that it's Audiovox's influence bringing cheaper products to Klipsch's lineup, and I worry that the Audiovox philosophy will taint Klipsch's traditional high-end products, or at least tarnish the name and cause audiophiles to avoid Klipsch altogether, prompting the disappearance of the Reference and Palladium products.
StanleyS wrote:Or just get some cheap zip cord from your local hardware store.
Agreed. AV trade journals have conducted informal A/B/X tests between high-end speaker cable and coat hangers, and no one could tell the difference. I do usually go with fine-stranded speaker cable, but I choose the "off brands" like Monoprice or Pyramid because it doesn't impact sound quality. I just choose the fine-stranded cable because it usually has a smaller bend radius, being far more flexible. As long as the wire gauge is heavy enough for the power levels you expect to run, is flexible enough for your install and you don't care about matching decor (or bragging rights - let's face it, that's why a lot of people buy monster cable, so they can get technologically ignorant friends go geek out and awww and ahhhh over it) zip wire is fine - and monoprice wire is an excellent choice if you need more flexible or heavier gauge speaker cable.
Same with interconnects: if you're doing S/PDIF or HDMI, bits is bits is bits. As long as you are within the length constraints of the interconnects, as long as they meet spec they will all sound absolutely identical.
Line-level analog audio? Cheap monoprice or Amazon Basics interconnects are all you need, unless you are wiring in parallel to high current/high voltage lines, or unless you take your gear on the road doing sound for gigs. In either case, you would benefit from professional (not, botique brands like Monster) interconnects, with special attention paid to terminators and stress reliefs. Other than that, home users should pick cheap shielded interconnects, with gold-plated terminators providing a minor benefit in tarnish-resistance (which is debatable since interconnects usually form a weak "contact weld" when plugged in, which will be nearly oxygen-free, shielding it from corrosion) and electrolysis (which does slowly corrode dissimilar metal contact points).
Thinking about setting up a home theater in my room with these but cannot find a cheap receiver. Anyone know of anything good for 100-150$?
cricky101 wrote:Sure, there's nicer stuff out there ... for at least twice the price.
For $169 these speakers are outstanding.
$299 isn't twice as much as $169, last time I checked. The $299 setup includes a sub, which this cheap set not only doesn't have- but everyone who has commented about their experience owning them has stated is a requirement to sound decent.
The $299 setup is complete, this one is not.
I got a set of Energy speakers because they were cheap, and they are. They sound like it too, but they're ok for the garage. Klipsch jumped the shark years ago and no longer is a premier brand... it's now just a name on a Chinese mass produced speaker.
You won't get a decent sub for $130, so head over to the Deals! section and get the ML's.
I bought the version of these on Amazon that includes the subwoofer. I connected them to my Yamaha RX-V671 A/V receiver for my surround system. I initially re-used some Yamaha speakers from my old 5.1 system, but I recently bought a pair of Infinity P363 3-way floor speakers from Fry's for the front L/R and these 5 speakers are the front and surround.
As surround speakers, they are perfect. I can play the TV at low volume when the wife sleeps, and get plenty of quality. The sound fills my room and I can hear perfectly while she can still sleep.
I'll admit to cranking the volume up too. The Yamaha can't put out enough watts to hurt the 3-ways, so I have mixed the volume up to those, and can max out my receiver without damaging the speakers. Everything sounds great, and I love making the cat-toy rattle on the coffee table with the bass channels.
These Energy Classic are a great addition to my surround system. If I had seen this deal last year, I would have bought these 5, added a sub-woofer for $200, and been money ahead.
Okay, I'm sold - In for one (damn it!).
I would like to cancel my order (just placed minutes ago) as I did not realize the subs are not included.

Classified as a healthy snack, yogurt is also a cook's helper giving texture to baked goods and body to soups, sauces, and dips.
- Oxmoor House
Superfood: YogurtYogurt deserves superstar status for its bone-strengthening calcium and high quality protein. If it comes packaged with "active cultures," add disease-fighter to that list since "good" bacteria (probiotics) help keep the stomach and immune system healthy. One little hitch: to reap the health benefits of yogurt, stick with plain varieties including the newly popular plain Greek yogurts. Yogurts packaged with added sugars (fruit and flavored ones) are little more than dessert in disguise.
Thick and Creamy YogurtTo create a satiny yogurt, Fletcher uses whole milk, adds dry milk to boost the protein, and heats it before culturing.
Roasted Plum Breakfast ParfaitsNectarines or peaches would be just as delicious as plums. You may need to adjust the roasting time by a few minutes, but otherwise the method is the same. Whichever fruit you choose, it can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Raspberry Yogurt Cheese with GingersnapsWith just three ingredients -- honey, plain yogurt, and fresh raspberries -- you can make a scrumptious spread for bagels, crackers, or tea sandwiches. Dieting? Switch out the full fat plain yogurt for fat-free plain, or zero fat Greek yogurt, for a skinnier spread.
Spiced Chicken Thighs with Yogurt SauceOne of our most popular weeknight suppers, Moroccan spice-rubbed skinless chicken thighs are topped here with an easy yogurt sauce made with minced garlic and chopped cilantro. The sauce is also great with roasted lamb or drizzled over steak tacos.
Chilled Cucumber, Avocado, and Yogurt SoupRich creamy soups are typically high in fat and calories, but this one proves the tasty exception. Low-fat plain yogurt adds the creaminess while a mix of garlic, cumin, cucumber, avocado, and fresh herbs makes it flavorful.
Greek-Style YogurtFor a more voluptuous texture, cookbook author Janet Fletcher drains her homemade yogurt to release some of the liquid (whey). Serve this yogurt with fruit and use it in recipes such as Harissa-Roasted Chicken with Chickpeas.
Honey-Roasted Pears with Sweet Yogurt CreamWhile pears roasted with honey are delicious, you have to love the three ingredient cream sauce served on the side. Made with honey, vanilla, and drained plain low fat yogurt, it's a perfect light sauce for all kinds of desserts.
Carrot-Celery Slaw with Yogurt DressingThe colorful combination of carrots and celery is fun, but what makes this salad so special is its light creamy dressing. Made with low-fat plain yogurt, Dijon mustard, and olive oil, it's a refreshing alternative to fat-laden mayonnaise.
Yogurt, Honey and Walnut ParfaitsThese honey and walnut parfaits are a great energizing snack or even an invigorating dessert.
Yogurt-Zucchini Bread with WalnutsLow-cal Greek yogurt helps keep this luscious tea bread moist without all the fat of traditional baked goods. Walnuts, zucchini, and sweet spices create a hauntingly good flavor combination that makes it hard to believe this quick bread is light.
Spinach Simmered in YogurtCreamy spinach takes a trip to the Mediterranean with the addition of bold-flavored seasonings including red chili, garlic, coriander, and turmeric. Yogurt tames the spices to make it a great last-minute side dish for roasted meats.
Grilled Yogurt Chicken with Cucumber SaladPlain yogurt enhanced with cumin and turmeric makes a great marinade for grilled chicken breast. And then it does double duty as a dressing for a light and easy cucumber salad to serve on the side.
Raspberries with Chocolate Yogurt MousseAlmost too simple to be a recipe, this lightning fast dessert flavors zero fat Greek yogurt with cocoa and honey to make a creamy mousse that's crowned with fresh raspberries. Added bonus: Greek yogurt has double the appetite-quenching protein of regular yogurt.

Green Bay Women's Soccer Hires Olympian Sesselmann
By: Justin Grones
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay women's soccer team has added Lauren Sesselmann to its staff as an assistant coach, head coach Trevor Warren announced on Monday. Sesselmann, a Green Bay native, won a bronze medal while playing defense for the Canadian national team in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.
"She's going to be a great role model for our players, and it will definitely help our profile as a program," Warren said of Sesselmann's hiring.
After starring locally at Notre Dame Academy, Sesselmann went to play collegiately at Purdue University, where she graduated in 2005. She was named First-Team All-Big Ten in both 2003 and 2005 and set six records during her time as a Boilermaker.
Sesselmann, a former forward who now plays defense, will join second-year assistant coach Niki Brooks, a goalkeeping and strength and conditioning specialist, under Warren.
"Trevor called me and asked if I'd like to come be an assistant coach, and I jumped at the opportunity," Sesselmann said. I love being around the game and I love being in Green Bay.
Sesselmann grew up playing forward, but switched to defender in 2010 while playing for the Atlanta Beat. She acquired Canadian citizenship that same year through her father, and began playing for the Canadian national team in 2011.
"I grew up watching the U.S. and Canadian national teams because I liked their styles of play," Sesselmann said. "I fit better in Canada's system, so when I got the call to go to camp I was excited."
Sesselmann started in all six of Canada's Olympic matches, and recorded an assist in Canda's 3-0 win over the Republic of South Africa. She also recorded a crucial goal-line save in the second half of a 2-1 loss to Japan.
Now back in the United States, Sesselmann comes to a Green Bay team that features four Canadian players - senior Chanel Aries (Calgary, Alberta), junior Renee Therrien (Winnipeg, Manitoba), and freshmen Justy Linton (Winnipeg, Manitoba) and Karina Fredette (Gatineau, Quebec) on its roster. According to Warren, they're very big fans of hers.
"It's really awesome to be coached by someone who won an Olympic medal for Canada, and having her here reminds me of being at home," said Aries.
Green Bay has posted two of its best defensive seasons in program history under Warren, who hopes the addition of a coach who plays at an elite level will only make the Phoenix defense stronger.
"I stress pushing each other day in and day out, because it helps you be on top of your game and play great," Sesselmann said. "But I also stress having fun-when you have fun, you play well."
Although it's still too early to tell if she'll be back for the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Sesselmann plans to use her experience at Green Bay to coach as well as recover from injuries suffered during the Olympics to prepare for future contests.
"We have a few tournaments this spring, but the first major goal before the Olympics is the World Cup in 2015," Sesselmann said. "It's being played in Canada, and it would be an honor to play for that country while it hosts the World Cup."

Tuesday 19th April 2011
Remembering a season that has been as frustrating as this one so far is very difficult and if ever there was a short period that pretty much provided a perfect summary, Sunday evening was it.
Earlier in the week we saw our visitors completely destroy Man City so we already knew before a ball was kicked it would be a difficult afternoon. If Laurent's header had gone under the bar in the first half instead of smacking it square-on, the whole game could have been different in its shape and outcome.
With Liverpool defending ever deeper however, we kept plugging away, probing, looking and hoping that we would get that one chance to see us take the lead. That opportunity came with time running out when RVP found himself through with a one-on-one.
Unfortunately the chance went begging and it looked more and more likely it would be another frustrating home result.
Deep into injury time, Cesc's twisting run saw him tripped and the chance to take the three points was there. RVP made no mistake and an intense jostle laced with just as much relief as joy ensued.
So, how did we not manage to win the game?
There are many factors I feel that make up the whole package including bad luck, extended time and downright naivety and I say that based on my thoughts on each as they happened.
As soon as Liverpool kicked off after we had taken the lead, a long shot saw us handed the ball. Everyone knows how we try and play from the back 99 per cent of the time and consequently keep possession. If we had done this we would have seen the game out. On this occasion the ball was belted clear giving our visitors the ball back. It sounds obvious but only through experiences like the next few moments can young players learn by their mistakes.
At least eight minutes of injury time were added, six of which were down to the injury Carragher experienced earlier in the half. This means the referee added only another two minutes for all the other injuries, substitutions and time wasting throughout the rest of the half.
Without looking like a case of sour grapes I really would like to know how the match was allowed to include so much further incident until it finished after 112 minutes. Surely as soon as the free-kick came to nothing the whistle should have gone.
For me, once the referee had chosen to not blow for time he had no choice on the actual penalty incident. It was a natural reaction for Manu to chase after the cleared ball and in my opinion he was very unlucky to pay for his desire to reach the ball and technically win us the game. Anyone who has played the game knows that the attacking player was simply 'clever'. We see full backs receiving free-kicks when shepherding the ball out of play for similar incidents every single week.
We can analyse all we like, overall however, it won't take away just how gutted we all felt heading back to our transport.
Having dropped points in seven home games this season it is plain to see where our most disappointing area has been.
Our away form on the other hand, has been pretty good and if we are to hang in there we will need to produce one of our best displays tomorrow night.
Seven years since we last won the title, none of us know what it feels like to experience a big round 50. You might get the chance to ask someone a little bit about that over your pre-match pint ;-)

Skill Level Intermediate
- [Voiceover] Hi, This is Chris Converse and this is a course on creating an interactive video gallery. So, I wanna start by showing the final project that we're gonna be creating. In the Final Project folder we have two HTML files. We have an index_option_1 and index_option_2. Inside of the includes, we have two different JavaScript file options as well. Both of these options have to do with how the video player is gonna work on mobile devices. So we'll take a look at those in a moment. But first, let's come over to Safari and take a look at how this interactive experience is working in Safari.
So, when I roll over each of these thumbnails I get at a rollover state. When I click on a thumbnail, it loads a video up in a light box. And then each browser is going to use its own built-in HTML5 support to show the video controls as well. So, clicking outside will make the video go away. Click on the next video. (upbeat music) Close that as well. So, this is how the user experience looks in Safari. In Firefox, instead of using MPEG4, which is the video format that all of the browsers and devices are gonna use except Firefox, we're gonna be using the Ogg Theora or OGV video file format.
So again, I can come in here and click and get the same user experience. The controls are gonna look a little different based on how Firefox's controls are going to be rendered as opposed to other browsers. (upbeat music) These videos work great. Let's come into Chrome. Now, Chrome doesn't allow auto play by default, so we click on the video, it loads up, but I do have to come down here and click Play in the Chrome browser to see these rendering. Now, if your browser doesn't support HTML5 video we also have a Flash fallback that we're gonna be programming in.
So we have some Flash video players and a video skin that you can put into your project. So for browsers like IE 7 and 8 that don't have HTML5 video support, what's actually going to happen is it's gonna use Flash instead of HTML5. So if I were to right-click on this, I would see that we're actually using Flash here instead of HTML5 video. Now, the options I was referring to before have to do with how the different mobile devices are gonna handle video. If we look at this running on an iPad, you'll notice that the iPad user's experience is very similar to that of the computer screens.
I tap on a video, an overlay comes up. I can tap on the overlay, the video will start to play right in line inside of the FancyBox overlay. And then I can also click the full-screen view to come out of the container, go into full- screen view using the device's video player, and then condense that down and go back to the light box. The two options that we really were talking about for mobile devices have to do with the phones. The Android platform doesn't support HTML5 video unless we use an onClick JavaScript event and we don't specify the codec.
And in both cases for the iPhone and Android, we can see that the video overlay comes up. I can tap on the video and then they will each jump into their respective video players and play the video. The second option has to do with bypassing the overlay altogether since neither platform supports playing the video inside of the overlay. So the second option is to just change the link. Instead of having the link invoke the overlay, we're gonna have the link change the URL to go directly to the actual video file itself. Now, on the iPhone platform, this means that it opens another window in mobile Safari, requiring us to hit the Back button.
And during this course, we're actually gonna show you how to do JavaScript detection so you can change the user experience depending on the individual devices. So I hope this sounds interesting to you and if so, let's get started with the first movie.

Videos from the 2013 Annual Report
2013 Annual Report
Many of us love nature for its own sake, but there are practical reasons for protecting nature, too. Nature sustains us, educates us, restores our health, creates clean air and provides food to feed billions and the inspiration that feeds our souls. It's not selfish to conserve nature for people; it's simply a recognition that nature is part of us and we are part of it.
The videos above explore the many ways that nature matters to people across the globe. From a small Alaskan community who relies on salmon for their sustenance and way of life to a mother who watched as a protected area changed the future for her son and her family, each story is a powerful reminder of the importance of nature to people.

I don't mind confident skaters, but this goes overboard. She doesn't even acknowledge or want to acknowledge the other skaters, how rude and lacking of sportmanship. another problem all former skaters can't get out of the picture, fast enough like all OGM we are entitled. in other sports they blend in the background after so long; not the U.s Skaters. We have to stay in front line. why-they remind of aging high school sports heros who have to relive their glory days until other people are bored, digusted, and don't want to hear it anymore, see them. Jamie and David isn't as bad as Ashley, it seems the more she wins, the more she thinks and feels entitlement. her ego grows show it shows and she doesn't hide it attempt it. She isn't the only one.

Hi all, this is my first post on these boards.
I need opinions about what will be allowed by the 501st. I want to join my local garrison and I am anxious to go trooping with them. This being said I don't want to waste a lot of time with products that will not be good enough.
I have already been duped into buying a Rubies bucket from ebay. Not only is it terrible in every way but it is way too small for me. I am 6' tall and 200 lbs and I am thinking about getting a 95 Don Post and doing the repaint. I'm not sure if this one will still be too small for me and will I need to go with a BobaMaker bucket anyway.
Does anyone know if the 95 DP will look good enough for 501st standards? I figure that if it will, I will go with that one so that I can stay within a budget and to be sure that I have the paint scheme down before I some day upgrade to a BM bucket.

Hi there!
I had been to the the Dhamma Wheel forums several times before, mostly to read the interesting discussions here, but this time I finally decided to register.
I've been practicing the Dhamma for approximately five years now, so one could say that I'm not completely new to Buddhism. (Then again, time is hardly a good measure, is it? ) Before that time, I had dabbled in Zen but it was not until I had read "What the Buddha Taught" by Ven. W. Rahula that I began to take my practice more seriously and to look for Theravada groups in my region. This way, I found Ayya Khema's "Buddha-Haus" project, which I still feel the strongest connection to. (In fact, I'm looking forward to a 10-day retreat with Ven. Dhammadipa in the Buddha-Haus in June.) In those five years, I have been a member of a private meditation group. In addition, I've been practicing with a local Zen group since the beginning of this year. So, I guess one might say that I found back to Zen, at least partly, although I guess that my Zazen does not really differ from my Vipassana...
Anyway, I'm looking forward to becoming a member (even if only by lurking) in this community.

Manchester United will not be adversely affected by Sir Alex Ferguson's touchline ban, according to Arsène Wenger.
The Premier League leaders' long-serving manager was handed a five-match suspension this week following comments he made about referee Martin Atkinson after United's defeat at Chelsea earlier this month.
Wenger was forced to watch his own team from the stands when Arsenal beat Tottenham in the Carling Cup in September and he doesn't think it makes a significant difference to managers.
"No [it won't affect Man United] because in England the ban doesn't affect too much your capacity to work with the team," said Wenger.
"You can go into the dressing room and you can make the decisions from the stand. Some managers work from the stand so I don't feel it will affect Man United."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|oh , thanks for letting me know this. Must have him confused with someone else. The conversation goes way back to when my female Kohl was bred to Brawnson . That is over 10 years ago now.
Incorrect, Dave & his wife (Susan?) were very involved in schutzhund. In fact Dave was(is?) a schutzhund judge.
I don't believe they did much breeding, if memory is correct they sold the Maya bitch after that litter. No idea what became of Bobby, obviously he didn't turn out to be a good caliber of working dog or Jan would have kept him.
coldwetnose , excellent post .
Wasn't Dave Grant a CKC show type breeder . I believe Linda Shaw knew him and I seem to think this is what she had said.
Seemed to me that the "working breeding" he did with Arko was a big deviation . No other dogs registered under Stormfront's ?
I am curious about Jan's dog Stormfront's Bobby . Any knowledge there.
Jan had some pretty good dogs . Also asked him about his Lork .
Western Canada had much more vigorous working dog activity than out east .
|Me too.
|Sabis mom
|Thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for. Hearing that description, Bud has taken a lot more from his sires side then we thought. I would love to hear any other stories you may have. Anytime. Feel free to PM me.
Jan purchased Arko (Alco was his call name) from a young man after seeing the dog trial. The young man had to give up his dog sport because of family business commmitments. "Alco" was substanial in body, big head, but medium size. We were spectators at the trial he recieved his first 100 in protection. If memory is correct it was at the GSDC of Edmonton and I think Frank Mensing was the judge? Although I could be wrong and it may have been at the GSDC of Calgary, (sorry folks, that was a long time ago). We also saw Brawnson's mother get her SchH1. Back to Alco. The dog was a tough one, super tracker, really nice obedience on him, everything quick and snappy. Protection he was about 60-65% prey and the rest defense/fight. He would bark all the way around each blind during the search. Super intense barking in the blind, but again, a little more prey oriented. Blind search was always lightening fast and precise. Test of courage was always fast and hard. Overall a nice strong dog, perhaps these days he would have been trained a little different, but those were the times back then. He handled a tremendous amount of pressure both from the handler as well as in the rigorous training schedule he maintained.
When the breeder (Dave Grant) bred his bitch Maya to Alco, the agreement was that she was to be titled to SchH1 before the end of the year, which she was (not pretty, but more due to training than dog), Rudi Meitzner was the judge for that trial at the GSDC of Edmonton. Jan was to get a pick puppy from the litter, which he did, "Stormfront's Bobby". There was some animosity over the fact Jan was not allowed to use his own kennel name on his puppy. Brawnson was sold to a very nice man named Gary, Gary was green to schutzhund but put his time in prior to getting a pup, and was already a dedicated member of the GSDC of Calgary when Brawnson became his. He was instructed to let him be a pup, no manners, no control etc. Brawnson capitalized on that and as he grew and matured he began to fight the handler about any manners/discipline. It wasn't long and Gary could no longer handle Brawnson, he was afraid of him, having been bit more than once. Brawnson went back to the breeder. Dave had many rounds with him but could never break through. Brawnson ended up at Ken Lichlider's kennel in IN, where Mike Diehl eventually ended up with him. Incidentally, Mike also ended up with Gary's male "Kutter v Landesberg" (from Peter Tse's breeding to Brawnson) when Gary passed away. Peter bred his bitch from Jan's breeding "Iska Ergebirge" to Alco as well, but ended up selling the bitch he had kept for himself, "Diva" (?). The most common complaint about Alco as a producer was inconsistency in size and temperment. You could line up almost all the littermates from Iska's breeding in fact and not see any similarities. That seemed to be the rule for most of his progeny. Many had crazy high prey drive though. If memory is correct the hip production from Alco wasn't that hot either. But again, that was many years ago, so I may be fuzzy on that.
One day we'll get around to sorting through old video tapes and find footage of some of these now "legendary" dogs and upload them, but time isn't plentiful for that just now. Actually, a very good friend of ours was on the field with Peter Tse as the helper, and Jan sent Alco for a long bite, the video showed a fantastic side to the dog coming at the helper. She also went in the blind behind Peter and got some great footage of his machine gun style barking in the blind. I hope this provides you with some of the info you were seeking.
|Sabis mom
I truly appreciate all of the information.
Carmen thank you for that link.
Buds sire, Hunter, was a wonderful dog. He was a good natured, easy going bear of a dog with a hard hit and a solid bite. People were deceived by his size and nature, but he was quick to gauge a threat and act on it. He did show great judgement, and was always sweet when it was needed. I had a real soft spot for him, which is why I got curious.
Bud on the other hand, has a head like a rock, took forever to mature and is generally a tough dog to work with. But, he took to obedience like a star and is one of the happiest dogs I have ever seen, with family. And once you actually manage to drill something into his little brain, he looks really good doing it. He was long ago ruled out for work, he's a bit unstable, but I have no doubt that he could have with a different start. Both Bud and Hunter had good hips, although I don't recall the exact results, I believe Hunters were 'normal' and Buds were 'normal' as well. I can tell you that at nearly 12 Bud can still go over a six foot fence in a blink, so I don't think his hips bother him much.
|All this information is great, thanks Carmen for that thread on Brawnson.
He wasn't horrible at all !
His temperament was right up there , easy going "normal" dog --- then 100 points in protection -- he always made an impression there.
Arko Honest, CKSP 70844, SchH 3, IPO 3, FH, T: 5CV5/55, velmi dobrý, HD-B (Imp. Czech Republic)
His temperament was good natured & easily manageable, brave, and hard against threat with very good sharpness and hardness.
There are always things to consider .
Always risks versus benefits.
Arko was himself a fast normal coming out of a female line similar or with unknown.
I think he produced on average an "average" set of hips . Some good , some not passable . He did produce great temperament and work ability .
Perhaps a bit earlier or in the same "era" there was Uran Wildsteiger Land who produced some pretty severe bad hips - as reported in Das Schaferhund Magazin . The temperament was not equal to Arko's though.
There is no comparison to the number of litters that Uran to Arko's smaller number. Uran has much greater gene pool presence than Arko will ever have .
Now, if you are interested in his lines, the thing to do would be to look at his best combinations. Who is producing what you want in the greatest amount with the least or minimized risk for hips or other .
I see that Brawnson's ZW is creeping up and is over the 100 range .
Leerburg Webboard | Stormfront's Brawnson
Take the good ones and breed them carefully.
Although Arko had sport titles
His lines are the old style non prey crazy gSD I yearn for today

Announcer: What is a clinical trial?
Clinical trials evaluate promising new cancer treatments or methods, from radiation and chemotherapy to new surgical techniques. This process helps determine if the new treatment is an improvement over existing treatments. For patients' safety, new treatments are developed in phases.
Initially, researchers look to find the best way to give the new therapy and see whether the treatment has any harmful effects. A second phase determines the effects of research treatment on various types of cancer. Once researchers are satisfied that the treatment has potential benefit and acceptable risk, they open clinical trials to large numbers of patients for the final test phase.
The new therapy is compared directly to existing standard therapy, to discover if the new therapy does, indeed, offer advantages. Patients may have a longer, more active life, or experience fewer and milder side effects from their treatment. If trial results warrant, the new treatment becomes standard therapy for all patients.
Dr. Stanley Watkins provides some examples.
Dr. Stanley Watkins: When I first started in practice, there were diseases such as breast cancer, testicular cancer, and Hodgkin's Disease where our cure rates were very low. As a result of clinical trials that have been going on for the past 20 years, we are now seeing very definite cure rates in these diseases, and the duration of the patient's life, the quality of their life, has changed dramatically. As a result, drugs, therapies, combinations of drugs, surgery, and radio therapy -- they have been put together through the use of clinical trials.
Announcer: Doctors carefully screen patients to find out if the clinical trial might be right for them. The medical treatment in clinical trials is given in a very specific manner, according to written instructions and guidelines called a protocol.
The protocol is like a recipe, to ensure a patient in California receives the same treatment as a patient in New York.
But since the protocol is written for physicians, your doctor will need to explain the treatment plan so you can decide whether to participate. When trials compare different treatments, each patient can receive only one of those treatments. Neither they nor their doctor chooses which treatment group they'll be in. This process, called "randomization," ensures different therapies are evaluated fairly. The outcome of a clinical trial cannot be guaranteed, and since the therapies and treatments are new, there's always some risk.
When discussing potential benefits, ask you doctor about potential risks of the trial you're considering. Of course, no patient with active cancer ever receives treatment known to be inferior. In fact, all clinical trial patients receive the highest quality medical care, with thorough, careful monitoring during the trial. Even with a very clear explanation, patients have many questions about their specific clinical trial. Potential side effects often tops the list.
From start to finish, each patient's best interest remains paramount. Whenever a patient's cancer fails to respond to therapy, the protocol treatment is stopped, so other treatment options can be pursued for that patient. In addition, every patient has the right to withdraw voluntarily from a trial at any time.
Another consideration -- how much will the experimental treatment cost and is it covered by insurance? Since every trial is different and insurance policies vary, be certain to discuss cost and reimbursement with both your doctor and insurance company. To enter a clinical trial, you must sign an informed consent statement.
This statement means you understand what treatments you may receive, possible side effects, your responsibility and possible outcomes. So before signing this statement, be sure to learn all you can about the study. To help you make a decision, the National Cancer Institute offers publications explaining your disease as well as clinical trials.
To receive such information, simply dial 1-800-4-CANCER.

Wednesday, August 22, 2012
The opening game of any season is always met with too much hype in my opinion, both before a ball is kicked and immediately after events have concluded. This doesn't mean that I don't understand the levels of anticipation when the new season is upon us.
Every football fan worldwide looks forward to the first game. Despite the season being very long, May seems such a long time ago to all us believers! With reportedly the hottest day of the year to accompany all the eager excitement there was an incredible buzz around the streets of N5.
Our home game matchday routines are followed with precision by most of us, however on this occasion my own pre-match took a slightly different route.
The V Festival in Essex meant three nights in a tent for me so after the first had been successfully 'negotiated' it was a train journey into Liverpool Street that started my day.
Arrival to my usual pre-match haunt by late morning soon had the usual routine back on track and it was fantastic to catch up with all those friends I hadn't seen over the summer over a few beers.
As for the game, I think we created enough to have won. With Abou and all three of our new signings going close on more than one occasion that winning goal is all we lacked from a satisfactory opening day.
Taking the positives we kept a comfortable clean sheet and we saw enough to suggest we can do well this season. It's best to leave me alone if a result hasn't gone well but my enjoyment in a few fields in Essex didn't seem to wane over the next 36 hours so we must have done something right!
Of course we all wanted an opening-day victory but we take a point and move on to the tough trip to Stoke this Sunday.
With passion running through my veins... I'll see you there.
Come on you Gooners!

Gartner v. Newton
Our Sponsors
Lambda Legal represents 7-month-old MacKenzie Gartner and her married parents, Heather Martin Gartner and Melissa Gartner, in a lawsuit challenging the state of Iowa's refusal to issue an accurate birth certificate to MacKenzie that lists both of her mothers as parents.
As a result of Lambda Legal's marriage equality lawsuit Varnum v. Brien, same-sex couples have married in Iowa since April 2009. Under Iowa law, a child born to a married couple is presumed the legitimate child of both spouses. This presumption applies equally to children of same-sex and different-sex married parents. In accordance with this presumption, Iowa law requires the Iowa Department of Public Health to list both spouses as a child's parents on the child's birth certificate regardless of whether the child bears a genetic relationship to both spouses, and even in cases where it is impossible for the child to be genetically related to both spouses. However, the Iowa Department of Public Health has refused to apply this law equally to the children of same-sex couples, denying them—and only them—accurate birth certificates until their married parents perform a costly and intrusive adoption proceeding.
Because the children of same-sex parents deserve to have their requests for birth certificates treated in the same manner as other children, Lambda Legal brought suit in May 2010.
- May 7, 2010 Case is filed in the Iowa District Court for Polk County.
- January 4, 2012 Victory! Court orders state to provide accurate birth certificate.
- May 21, 2012 Lambda Legal files brief with Iowa Supreme Court.
- December 11, 2012 Court hears oral arguments.
- May 3, 2013 Iowa Supreme Court is unanimous in ordering the state to treat children of lesbian couples as having two parents at birth.

I must admit that I have a MySpace profile. I use it to stay in touch with my friends and family and I heard something the other day about a MySpace tracking system. Do you know anything about that? If you have any information, please share it with us!
First, I want to say that I hope you're enjoying your MySpace experience. I know there has been a lot of controversy in the past over this social networking Web site, but all in all, it is a really good way to stay in contact with old friends and relatives who may live far away, etc.
Alright, with that said and out of the way, I, too, have heard of this MySpace "tracking system." It's said that you can put a special program into your MySpace profile that will track everyone who views your personal profile. From the tracking program, you'll be able to see who looked at your profile, at what time they visited and so on. It even gives you the link to the other person's profile so if someone you don't know views your page, you can go and see who they are as well. Now, this may seem like a good idea at first, but keep reading for some more interesting information!
There are many tracking services that can be used with MySpace, including MStracker, HitsLink, ProfileSnitch, Hitslog, TrackMySpace, TheSpaceTracker and another called Trakzor. For this tip, I am going to focus the most on Trakzor, because it seems to be one of the more popular trackers used on MySpace. They just recently designed a new version (2.0) and it seems to be the most sophisticated of the group. It also looks like it's the best designed, which is always a plus.
To put a tracker on your MySpace profile, you just have to download the tracker HMTL code and then insert it onto your page. After you do that, you'll be able to see who all visits your profile, etc. You will be the only one who can see that information as well. Now, that may all seem a little too good to be true and well, you're right. It is. With most tracking systems, you can only see who views your profile if that person has an account with the same tracking service as you. So, if someone looks at your page and they don't have a tracker in their profile, you won't be able to find anything out about them. Instead, it will be just like any other visitor.
So, as you can see, putting a tracker on your profile doesn't really help out too much. Plus, it's not very safe. All of the tracking programs that I mentioned above have one thing in common and that is their limited Internet security. They also tend to have trouble keeping up with profile views, which pretty much defeats the purpose of the program in the first place. And one more thing: if someone has the same tracking system as you do, they can see when you view their profile as well. It doesn't really keep you any safer and it doesn't keep your information private.
The best thing to do with MySpace (if you're worried about unwanted people viewing your profile) is to set it to a private status. That way, anyone who is not on your "friends list" will not be able to see your page. They will be able to see your picture and when you last logged in, but they cannot see any of your personal details, etc. It's the safest thing to do on MySpace. To do that, log in to your account and click on the Account Settings link. From there, click on Privacy Settings. Under the "Who Can View My Full Profile" section, click the option for "My Friends Only." You can change some other settings while you're in there if you want as well. When you're done, hit the Change Settings button and you'll be all set.
Now, like I said before, there has been some controversy over how safe MySpace is and while there have been some legitimate arguments, there are a number of ways you can keep yourself safe while using it. Of course, after reading about the trackers, there are some things that may hurt you more than help you, but if you're smart about your MySpace time, you'll be just fine. I hope you find all of this information to be more than helpful!
~ Erin
