Dutchess is committed to accessible, affordable higher education. Financial aid is available, and most Dutchess students receive it, in the form of grants, student loans, work-study jobs, and scholarships.
Apply for financial aid promptly, after you apply for admission to Dutchess Community College. First consideration goes to students who apply early.
Some or all of the costs of your tuition, fees and books may be covered by financial aid. Beyond these costs, you may also receive "excess financial aid" to help cover personal expenses while you are a Dutchess student, such as housing, meals, and transportation. Decisions on financial aid awards are based on need, eligibility, and available funds.
The types of financial aid awarded to Dutchess students include Federal Direct Loans, Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, and Dutchess Community College Foundation scholarships.
Financial aid comes with responsibilities for attendance and maintaining satisfactory grades. View information on Student Responsibilities and Maintaining Eligibility for financial aid.
The federal American Opportunity Tax Credit provides up to $2500 per student for qualified tuition and related expenses. For every dollar spent on tuition and related expenses, there is a corresponding dollar credit that comes directly off the taxes owed to the IRS. Surprisingly, fewer than half of the eligible middle class families in New York state claim the credit. To be eligible, students must have taken at least six credits toward an undergraduate degree. You should seek the advice of a tax professional, but should be aware that this benefit may be available.

Jayne Ludlow thinks that attack will be the best form of defence for Arsenal Ladies in the second leg of their Uefa Women's Cup Quarter Final next week.
Captain Ludlow headed Vic Akers' side in front after 90 seconds against Umea and the Ladies eventually secured a slender 3-2 advantage at Boreham Wood on Thursday night.
However, with the tie very much in the balance, the Welsh midfielder does not think that Arsenal will go to Sweden just to protect their one-goal advantage.
"I don't think we have a mentality to go out there and defend, that is not the way Arsenal play," said Ludlow after the victory. "We have to play to our strengths, and our strengths are attacking.
"As soon as we get on the ball we want to play. We want to get the ball down and we want to involve all the players, out wide, in midfield and the forwards. I knew that was our tactic out there but obviously they liked to turn us around a lot, that was their way of playing. It took us a while to get used to it but we adjusted.
"I am pleased with the amount of attacking options we had and the amount of chances we created. I'm disappointed that I missed about three sitters but hopefully I can make up for that in the next game.
"We will know that we have to keep our shape well but that is something we have worked on all season and it has got better. I am disappointed we let in two goals because I thought we are better than that, especially at set pieces."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

"It's very misleading to say the program is not contributing to the debt, because it is," said Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, a Washington group dedicated to balancing the federal budget. "The Treasury has to come up with the money to make good on the bonds, which is a draw on general revenues." . . .
"If you want to set up a boogeyman against your [political] opponent, it's very tempting to talk about how somebody's going to take away Social Security or slash Medicare," Bixby said. " 'Throw grandma in the street.' It's preying on the fears of the elderly, rather than solving a problem."

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by japanice, May 18, 2011.
That's interesting. Thanks for posting. I wonder who the journalist Jack Gallagher is, as he seems to have more than a casual journalist's knowledge of figure skating. Before it was mentioned in the article, I was not surprised to read the reason why Morozov chose Miki over Mao -- that's what I figured before I read it. Morozov enjoys a challenge, and maybe he saw something else in Miki that he liked. I wish they had kept the more edgy sp from earlier in the season. Skating pretty is not really Miki's style, although she can do it fairly well with Morozov's guidance.
Gallagher's take on Yu Na ("skating needs the excitement she brings") may be true to a point. Yu Na may have style and grace, but I don't think it makes for electricity. I think the excitement was more related to seeing her programs for the first time, since she hadn't skated all year, plus much of the excitement was probably due to the fact Worlds took place at all this year, and the Russians were pretty pumped up about it taking place in Moscow.
In any case, I think Yu Na still needs to develop in a number of areas, and one of the problems is, how willing and hungry is she now (after winning Olympic gold) to continue to improve? Will she just be continuing in order to be a good patriot and to do her duty in representing her country and not let down her fans? I was eager to see Yu Na's performances at Worlds, but aside from some lovely moments, she didn't pull everything together -- her focus wasn't there, or maybe she wasn't in peak competition form.
I guess people don't just like Yuna, they love her. I don't think Worlds was as Yuna-centric as that reporter does. In fact I had to force myself to watch Ladies at all. It was the cracktastic Men's competition that I found fascinating. I continue to wonder why it seems like a lot of people see figure skating as if it begins and ends with the Ladies competition.
Anywho, it is interesting that Morozov chose Miki over Mao. But you can never guess what would have happened if. I would tend to think a skater will still fulfill most of their potential either way.
^^ I agree it is hard to predict what would have happened if Morozov had chosen otherwise. But I disagree that skaters necessarily will still fulfill most of their potential no matter who their coach happens to be. For example, I think Evan would not have been as successful without Frank, or he might have been a different skater with some success, but not necessarily OGM. Evan also credits Frank for his success.
Morozov tapped into Adam's unique potential and helped him move up in juniors and get noticed, not to mention win World juniors twice. Morozov helped Shizuka Arakawa win OGM -- maybe one of the reasons the Japan fed later gave him a choice between working with Miki or Mao to achieve similar magic. I don't necessarily like the direction Morozov has gone in with Amodio, but can't argue with the gains Amodio achieved this season. Like the article states, Miki was at a crossroads, and Morozov helped guide her down the path to success. She'd already had a few coaches and hadn't made a great deal of progress. Morozov has definitely worked some wonders with Miki -- maybe most of all helping her believe in herself (and train harder ).
I agree with you re the reporter likely overstating the Yu Na factor at Worlds, although I'm sure Yu Na's fans were really excited about seeing her programs for the first time. The whole thing with Ladies being the be all and end all, well, maybe it started with Sonja Henie when she shortened her skirts, and the whole shift to Ladies taking prominence in figure skating took off from there (even as the skirts got shorter and shorter) The whole ladies tradition in figure skating has been particularly rife in the United States.
The men have been the most exciting thing in figure skating for some time now, somewhat pre-Johnny Weir, but especially circa Johnny's best years, with the depth in the men's field continuing to deepen. I am certainly more interested in and excited about the men and ice dance right now more than ladies and pairs (although I love S/S in pairs, and V/T are looking very good, especially with Sochi coming up in 2014). I also loved Shen/ Zhao, and Pang/ Tong have had some great programs.
The ladies have been problematic. Even with Yu Na and Mao at the top in recent years, the field is not very inspiring, as a lot of times they just seem to lack magic, or if there is magic on occasion, it is so inconsistent. Having been spoiled by the Michelle Kwan years, I wish Mirai, Alissa, Ashley, someone would just take hold and begin to dominate with a number of others making it a close battle. I think some edgier skating or at least challenging battles (a la ladies Worlds '95 and '96, even '97, '99, 2000, 2001, 2004) tends to inspire and enliven the field. Right now, some would say that Yu Na dominates, but there really hasn't been any thrilling close battles, and Yu Na has been inconsistent at times too. Overall, in recent years ladies comps have been uneven.
I remember Morozov took on Oda when Takahashi was with him, and Takahashi left him. Apparently he didn't consult Takahashi about it first. He does seem to overextend himself sometimes. Rippon's complaint about him was that he didn't always have a coach to work with.
That is Morozov's biggest flaw, he wants to work with all these skaters so he can have his name in their bio, but at the end of the day how much time is he really spending developing all of them? It can't be much; I counted I think 8 people he is working with right now, does he not sleep or do the skaters get screwed?
I also find it ironic that the Russian Federation wanted him (a Russian) to come to Russia and train only Russian skaters yet he is training them in the US this summer.
I don't know for a fact, but I suspect that coaches like Morozov, Tom Z. and Frank Carroll direct a team of coaches rather than teach skaters how to jump and spin themselves. Apparently Morozov is great at choreography and inspiring his students, but not so great at time management. He seems to have a short attention span
I have been trying to figure this out. I have been a skating fan since 1968 and since then there has been NO time that I have been less interested in skating than right now, beginning about two years ago. I can't figure out what my problem is. True, I was rapt during the Kwan years, but I liked skating before she was even born. I don't think that skaters have less ability than skaters across the years. I certainly complained about skate, skate, jump before COP, and now I complain about cookie cutter programs. Overall there are probably the same number of WOW programs to Hoo Hum programs as there have always been. I just don't get it. Men are the only thing interesting out there.
Oh, the skaters get SCREWED all right.... LOL...
It appears getting screwed is contractual with Morosov
If you are going to focus on athletics and individual components, which the COP does, the men are going to be more exciting because as a group they are physically stronger.
The female stars of bygone eras had sex appeal (Sonja, Peggy, Katarina, Nancy etc). The women nowadays are too childlike to generate much of that. In the past skaters were judged on the overall impression they created, now they are rewarded for speed, stamina, and jumping ability.

- Not that its much of a difference but our population is over 32 million. - There is no waiting for MRI's etc if it is urgent ( maybe 10-15 years ago there was ) pretty well every hospital has a MRI and CT machine - Minimum acceptable wait periods have been legislated, after which the system will send you somewhere to have it done- Seeing our system work first hand, I wish every Country could have something similar - If it can be done on a scale of 32 million why not 64 million or 250 million people like in the U.S?
remember, it was congress ordering changes in the way that banks considered loans that got this housing thing started. F&F shouldn't even exist, but since they do, they really did what they are mandated to do. they guaranteed the higher risk loans so that banks would loan to people who shouldn't have had loans in the first place.remember also that it was those same congress members who lied to us and told us F&F were fine and in no danger of collapsing.
They should have backed GWB and John McCain when they saw the ills of F & F
- There is no waiting for MRI's etc if it is urgent ( maybe 10-15 years ago there was ) pretty well every hospital has a MRI and CT machine
government can not "provide" anything without first taking from others. that is the 1st tenets of socialism. if you can show me where this has worked to make life better for all, where it has brought the standard of living, care, and the economy up, i'd be pleased to see it.while the idea of -free- is attractive, it is a myth.
i think the current bill is dead. my hope is that they will start over. there are things that need to be done.

I have a question about the holster? Are they sewn along the edge?
The screen used holsters are not sewn along the edge but do have a stitch at the top opening where the most stress can occur. I have replicated this detail. I have not had a holster failure in the 10 years that I have been producing these.
I have had heavy metal Westars hanging in my BKBT holster for over 7 years, no problems yet.
Also, I can't bear to weather my BKBT armour (I know, I know - sacrilege), but its too beautiful to mark!
And it looks like I'm not alone there BKBT.
Good to see you back.
Best gun and ammo belt ever!! Love mine still, going to adapt the web belt to it though since the Velcro keeps slipping on me now after a lot of use. You going to be putting out some FP gauntlets?? Good to see you back. I just came back to it all myself after a 2 year hiatus.
I need a holsters set shipped to UK. Can you send me a price. Cheers, Mike

David Knipe is the Higgins Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at Harvard Medical school. A virologist, Dr. Knipe focuses his research efforts on the herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) – the virus we have to thank for genital herpes.
An astonishing 20% of Americans have been infected with HSV-2, and whether they've had a recognizable outbreak of sores or not, they can still carry the virus. Once you contract the HSV-2 it lays low in your nerve cells, waiting for the right moment to create watery blisters that eventually burst and release more virus particles. Dr. Knipe is interested in how the cells lead these two, very different lives: quiet and quiescent inside the nerve cell and loud and lytic in the epithelium on the surface of the body.
Genital herpes is no picnic, but the effects of HSV-2 infection are worst in people with depressed immune systems and in newborns; babies who pick up the virus during birth may suffer from neurological damage, brain damage, or even death. There is no cure for genital herpes, and no means of getting rid of HSV-2, only ways of managing outbreaks. But there is some hope of relief; Dr. Knipe's lab has developed a vaccine that will enter the trial phase soon.
In this interview, I asked Dr. Knipe about how he got interested in viruses, about the vaccine he's developed and who could hope to benefit from it, and why it's taken science so long to develop a vaccine for this extremely common disease.

Thank you for supporting red ruffed lemurs
Lemurs are primates placed in the suborder Prosimiae. There are five distinct families of lemurs: Lemuridae (ring-tailed lemurs), Indriidae (woolly lemurs), Daubentoniidae (aye-ayes), Megaladapidae (sportive lemurs), and Cheirogaleidae (fat-tailed dwarf lemurs). The red ruffed lemur is a member of the Lemuridae family, which includes 10 species in four genera. There is one other subspecies of ruffed lemur, the black and white ruffed (V. v. variegata).
All lemur species live on the African island nation of Madagascar.
Red ruffed lemurs live in deciduous tropical forests of the Masoala Peninsula in northeastern Madagascar, at elevations up to 3,300 feet (1,006 m).
Red ruffed lemurs are the largest members of the Lemuridae; both sexes average 43-47 inches (110-120 cm) in length including a bushy, 22-25 inch (56-65 cm) tail. Adult males weigh 7-10 pounds (3.2-4.5 kg). Females are usually heavier. Slender bodied and long legged, red ruffed lemurs have a narrow, fox-like snout and small ears that are hidden by a ruff of hair. The soft, woolly body fur is a deep rusty red while their extremities, forehead, crown, belly and tail are black. They have a patch of white fur on the nape of the neck and may have additional white patches on the feet, digits or mouth. Red ruffed lemurs (and all prosimians) lack extensive digit coordination, so they groom themselves and each other with their teeth.
Six bottom teeth form what is called the toothcomb. A specialized claw on the second toes of their hind feet is used to brush their long, fluffy coat. Red ruffed lemurs have scent glands on their rump used for group identification. They also have acute senses of smell, vision and hearing.
Life expectancy in the wild is 15-20 years; they live up to 19 years in captivity.
In the wild: Fruits, leaves, nectar and seeds. Their diet varies, depending on the season.
At the zoo: Fruits, leaf-eater chow and various greens (i.e., kale, romaine, spinach, etc.)
Red ruffed lemurs reach sexual maturity at about 2 years of age, and have young at about 3 years of age. In the wild, breeding season occurs from May through July, yet the female is in estrus for only a few days and fertile only one day during this time. Gestation lasts 90-102 days; a period remarkably short for this large of a primate. Ruffed lemurs are the only primates that produce litters of young. The most common litter size is three. Young are born in September or October at the beginning of the wet season, when food is plentiful. Unlike most primates, the female red ruffed lemur may build several nests for her young, padding them with her own body hair. Newborns have fur, and are wide-eyed at birth, however, they are not mobile at birth. The mother may park them in one of her satellite nests while foraging. At 7 weeks, youngsters can follow their parents through the treetops. Weaning occurs when young are about 4 months old.
Lemurs live in social groups consisting of two to 16 animals. They stay within a common home range, aggressively defending it from other groups of red ruffed lemurs. As the dominant individuals, females form the core of the group, and are the defenders of their territory. During the wet season, red ruffed lemur groups will increase in size, only to disperse as the dry season approaches and food becomes scarce.
Red ruffed lemurs warn each other with a complex system of at least 12 different vocalizations. These alarm calls can be low grunts, gurgling sounds or a cackle-like roar. Red ruffed lemurs can even recognize the alarm calls of their co-subspecies, the black and white ruffed lemurs. Both subspecies will cooperate in warning the other's group. Predators of red ruffed lemurs include snakes, raptors, large mammals and humans.
Red ruffed lemurs are located outside, on the African rain forest trail section of the Tropical Rain Forest.
All lemurs are endangered species; the red ruffed lemur is considered critically endangered, and is protected under Appendix I of the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species, (CITES). Scientists estimate that only 1,000 to 10,000 red ruffed lemurs remain in the wild. Habitat destruction, hunting and live capture for the pet or animal trades place severe pressures on lemur populations and are the leading causes of endangerment. Because the red ruffed lemur has a small geographic range and low numbers of wild specimens, it is one of the most endangered of the Malagasy lemurs. Although some red ruffed lemurs live in a protected area of Madagascar, the Masoala Nature Reserve, most of them occur outside this reserve.
The island nation of Madagascar is an area of great biodiversity, rivaling the ecosystems found in Brazil and Indonesia. Madagascar separated from Africa over 160 million years ago, and most of the animal species living there today are endemic, evolving in isolation. It is vital to preserve the habitat of this nation for all the unique species living in Madagascar. Fortunately, red ruffed lemurs breed well in captivity. Over 300 individuals are currently held by at least 70 institutions worldwide. Woodland Park Zoo participates in the Association of Zoos & Aquariums' (AZA) Prosimian Taxon Advisory Group (TAG) and the Malagasy Faunal Interest Group (FIG). It is critical for zoos to support captive breeding efforts in order to ensure the continued survival of this species.
The effort to save endangered species requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo or other conservation organizations of your choice. Do not buy products made from wild-caught animal parts. Contact your elected representatives and express your views about conservation of endangered species and wild habitats. Support sustainable Madagascar industries that protect rainforest resources.

Current Control for Light-Weight Robots
Like in most of AC servo drive systems the cascade control structure is adapted in the LWR in which the current control is the most inner loop. To achieve high performance in torque and position loop the current loop is important, because the bandwidth of the outer loop depends directly on the bandwidth of the current loop. It must have the widest bandwidth in the system and zero or nearly zero steady-state error. The outer loop is realised on a floating point DSP and the current loop works on a fixed point motion control DSP.
A high-performance AC servo drive demands a cycle time of current control lower than 40µs. The permanent magnet synchronous motors of LWR are designed with low inertia and very low leakage inductance to make a fast current response possible. This implies that the switching frequency of the PWM inverter has to be in a range from 20kHz to 40kHz. The used switching frequency of the LWR is 20kHz. To meet the high demands on current control we use double update mode of the PWM generator that means that the maximum time for the whole current control cycle is only 25µs.
The well adapted PI current controller is designed to achieve high motor performance in such a way that the bandwidth of the current controller is larger than the bandwidth of a traditional one, although the proportional gain is within the limits of a traditional PI controller. With this optimal current controller the step response can reach its reference value within 250µs.
The last member of the current controller is the Space-Vector PWM modulator. It includes a six-step over-modulation mode to be able to generate the switching sequence by which the highest fundamental output voltage can yield to extend the speed range of the joint.
Modeling and identification
Advanced control structures have first been developed and verified on the basis of LWR II. In particular a flexible-joint model is assumed. Fast and reliable methods for the identification of the joint model parameters (joint stiffness, damping, and friction) were developed, while the rigid body parameters are directly generated from the mechanical CAD programs. This leads to an accurate simulation of the robot dynamics, so that the controller structures can be developed and tested directly in the simulation.The same (automatic) identification methods are used also for LWR III.
Available sensors in each joint:
Hierarchical architecture
(see figure above):
Forward kinematics is also computed in this cycle
Controller decription
The first stage in the controller development was a joint state feedback controller with compensation of gravity and friction. The state vector contains the motor position, the joint torques, as well as their derivatives. By the appropriate parameterization of the feedback gains, the controller structure can be used to implement position, torque or impedance control. In the last case, the gains of the controller are computed in every Cartesian cycle, based on the desired joint stiffness and damping, as well as depending on the actual value of the inertia matrix. Hence, this controller structure fulfils the following functionalities:
Based on this joint control structure, three different strategies for implementing Cartesian compliant motion have been realized: admittance control, which accesses the joint position interface through the inverse kinematics; impedance control, which is based on the joint torque interface; and Cartesian stiffness control, which accesses the joint impedance controller. To combine the advantages of the last two methods regarding geometric accuracy and high bandwidth, a new control method was implemented, which consists of an impedance controller enhanced by local stiffness control. This structure consistently takes into account the fact that the cycle of the joint control loop is typically by one order of magnitude faster than that of the Cartesian loop. It uses the high bandwidth of the joint impedance controller to improve the performance of the Cartesian impedance control. With a few parameter changes from the keyboard, the robot shows up arbitrary stiffness, damping and inertial (mass) in different Cartesian directions.
The latest developments for the LWR focused on strategies for impedance control based on a passivity approach under consideration of the joint flexibilities. A physical interpretation of the joint torque feedback loop has been given as the shaping of the motor's kinetic energy, while the implementation of the desired stiffness can be regarded as shaping of potential energy. Therefore, the Cartesian impedance controller can be designed and analyzed within a passivity based framework in the same manner as the previously mentioned state feedback controller. This led to a new, unified concept for the torque, impedance and position control on both joint and Cartesian level. Also the constructive method introduced for energy shaping of a non-collocated system constitutes a novelty and solves a problem which was open so far.
An important advantage of these passivity based controllers is the robustness with respect to uncertainties of the robot or load parameters, as well as in contact with unknown but passive environments.

Wise words for the adventure of life
04/02/2013 , 6:28 AM by Ashleigh McIntyre
The first week of school is a pivotal point in life – for both littlies and their teary parents who have to say that first goodbye. Last week was a very big week for many families making that step and Aaron's family was among them. With his daughter starting kindergarten, Aaron wanted to give her some wise words of advice, and to get the wisest of words he asked for help from the 1233 audience.
With the promise that we would collate and distribute the resulting mountain of sage advice, contributions poured in. We received everything from practical tips and reminders (Carolyn reminded us of the benefit of taking a hanky and Mary suggested sitting up the front to hear the teacher better) to true pearls of wisdom ("Go in with your eyes open and be prepared to give anything a go. The new thing you try may become your lifelong passion," was Matthew's contribution.)
The advice is not just applicable to brand new school starters, but to kids starting high school or a new school, or to anyone embarking on a new venture. We've compiled the document for you to download and print and keep and share with your young school starter.
Maybe not all of it will register with your five-year-old just yet, but one day each piece of advice will come in handy and we can guarantee you'll get something from it yourself. So whatever year of school your kids are in, or if you know a young person you'd like to share something special with, download, share and enjoy the collective wisdom of the 1233 audience.

Adventurous, hands-on travel and family vacations in Minnesota's Land of 10,000 Lakes and beyond.
Lisa Meyers McClintick, travel writer & photographer
Tuesday, June 22, 2010
Minnesota adds Lake Vermilion as a state park
What makes Lake Vermilion so attractive? For one thing, the new state park would connect to the existing Soudan Underground Mine State Park. It's literally and figuratively one of the coolest places to explore on a hot summer day.
Right: Lake Vermilion fun at Ludlow's Island Resort
Zip through underground mine tour
To experience this part of the Iron Range, you don a hard hat, cram into an elevator and plunge about a half-mile into the earth. Trust me, you'll get the kids attention with that. Pile into the cars that zip through the pitch-black tunnels, and they'll agree it's better than the fake mine ride at Disney's Magic Kingdom.
High Energy Physics tour of the University of Minnesota's underground lab within the mine. It's a mind-boggling James Bond kind of experience as they study the universe's dark or missing matter.
The new state park, once developed, means visitors can camp nearby and have access to one of Minnesota's most impressive and beautiful lakes.
Above: Ready for the mine tour.
Right: Interpretive displays help visitors picture the mining life.
Ludlow's Lake Vermilion island
If you prefer a more luxurious stay than camping, Ludlow's Island Resort is the perfect northwoods splurge (not to mention one of the state's most unique resorts). Our kids were enchanted by using an antique crank telephone along the shore to summon one of their cheerful staffers--the kind of nice young college students your 8-year-old can't stop following around. He loaded up our gear into the vintage boat and headed to the island. It was too early in the year for swimming, but we adored the setting.
Plus there's something about an island that removes you that much more from reality and all the usual responsibilities you flee when on vacation. And the lake views? Stunning, of course.
If you want more inspiration for worthy state parks, check out the June/July issue of Midwest Living. I was one of many writers who helped find the best of the best. I had no idea Fort Snelling--a beloved living history site--also had a great beach tucked away near the river.
Above: Boating back and forth between Lake Vermilion's shore and Ludlow's island.

Love it! there should be a Better<any media player>
(Since the latest opera i'm getting 0 lyric results for any song i've tried so far though... :( )
Great Extension. All features work well and the auto search and ad block are especially convenient. I agree that it would help to have the width adjustable though.
Really good. Would be better if the lyrics sidebar could be adjusted for width, I found it kinda small.
I can´t see any lyrics. Automatic or manual search, it´s the same.
Opera 11.52
I use this extension only for ad removal, which it handles brilliantly (don't try to guilt trip me, most of the offers aren't regionally relevant to me anyway).
As for changing settings all it took was deleting private data, and next time I visited the site it offered me to pick my options again.
I installed the extension, and was greeted with a configurator the next time I visited Grooveshark. I selected to use the lyrics module. After I had seen what that looked like, I changed my mind and decided /not/ to use the lyrics module (my screen is too small for that extra stuff) -- but I couldn't find any place to change the configuration. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but wasn't prompted again... So for now, I've just uninstalled it. Tips welcome, thanks.
It is a great extension, really. But please add scrobbling to lastfm. Google Chrome already has it.
Great idea for app. Although I've found issue using that extension with my opera 11.50 (Arch Linux). Combobox list is transparent, because of that I can't see all items on the list. Also more sites with lyrics could improve search results.
This clearly is awesome. A full screen Grooveshark ! And lyrics if you ask for.
Works like a charm so far. ;)
Fantastic stuff, I love it. In the future, you could try adding Last.FM scrobbling and removing those survey pop-ups.

You'll enjoy the twelve foot tall ceilings of this 1879 room even though the shower is not a full claw foot tub or extremely spacious we do our very best for you when cutting through the walls of these horse hair plaster masterpieces! This room also features the life award and certificate from the All Japan Chefs Association (AJCA) for Chef Marti's gold medal from 56,000 Japanese chefs and President Shiro Deguchi. $125/nightView Details

Oceanicus Blue Dreams
PRIVATE bathroom. Oceanicus Blue Dreams features a tip of the hat to Cornelius Vanderbilt and the great shipping fleets of the world he and the Vanderbilt family adored. This room is loaded with tons of eclectic, collections and items from the Civil War Navy's. As our mansion is only a short drive from the Vanderbilt Estate the influence is very strong. The, "Biltmore," is still the largest private home in America and is now the most visited winery in America. We think this says a lot about where we live, in Western North Carolina. The lil' desk has tons of hidden items in each drawer to find and discover! Along the bulkheads are lighthouses and ships, spyglasses and shells, log books and scrolls of antique paper as well as shiny brass lanterns, cutlasses, iron handguns, knives and swords. We have been shocked by how many ladies want to stay in this room! WARNING: However, if you don't enjoy eclectic clutter, intense 17th and 18th century weaponry from all over the world and tons of fun, little items all over the place and hidden in drawers (love letters) - you won't enjoy this particular room (you will find love-letters from the war written between sailors and their wives to read as well as dance cards and amazing things). This is the room with the Confederate War Bond inside the wall of the closet that many have read about. A king size bed with hand-carved, elegant headboard awaits you with gel-foam insert padding and tremendously extra-fluffy, fluffy, fluffy mattress! Sometimes it is called the Blue Room or Sailors Den! Above all, don't get into any arguments in this room (there is a ton of weaponry in it! $185/nightView Details

Slingshot 2017 Windsor Wakeboard
• Great pop for air tricks
• Added traction for hard-edging riders
• Stiffer belly makes kicker landings easier
• Lock into presses like never before with new Flex Tip Technology
2017 Windsor: The Windsor board has a whole new feel in 2017, thanks to the addition of our new tapered Flex Tip Technology. For years, James has been asking for a park board that is stiff in the center with a significantly softer tip and tail. The stiff center helps maintain pop off the water, as well as speed through big kicker landings. The soft tips allow the rider to lock into presses with very little resistance from the stiffness of the board. After a few seasons of perfecting this new design, we have delivered James' dream board. Once you press on a Slingshot Flex Tip board, you'll never feel the same about your old setup. Learn More
Ronix 2017 District Wakeboard
A board with the rare trait of adapting to your style of riding. Now you can ride without
stereotypes with this legendary all-purpose shape, designed for smooth/low maintenance turns

confident this unique shape is ready to jump on the gas or hit the brake when you are.

Regular Price: $439.99
Special Price: $328.99
Touch the sky or ride the rail with our best selling wake/park crossover women's boards. Want a smooth, fast glide on the water and a predictable snap off the wake? The always consistent take off of the Quarter 'til Midnight, with a longer flight in the air, and added pressure points on rails has made it popular with first time shredders all the way up to our pro team. It's time to see how far wakeboards have evolved with this new shape featuring speedwalls.Learn More
Ronix 2017 Space Blanket- New I-Beam Construction
A next generation line of camber boards with one goal – increased glide speed. The Space Blanket has over 30% less resistance with the water and added top water momentum than its predecessor – The Bandwagon – proving that there is nothing slow about camber. For the rider that wants all of the benefits of that unique neutrally balanced camber riding style and the stability of a big board that rides small, without compromising speed and resistance with the water. Comes standard with Aircore 2.0 – the lightest core we have ever created for the rider that wants holeshot response out of a turn, and the least amount of swing weight in the air. New for this year, we added I-Beam Construction to combine our lightest core with one that has even more hang time off the wake.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Delfino Delivers, Nov 3, 2008.
Wondering what number CB is going to wear, has somebody talkd to J.R.? Wait a minute. .
Maybe 4?
Om - en
CB made the team stodgy after his maker (LB) was gone...Chauncey became Flip's boss. AI might be gone after this year but he will bring more intensity and sense-of-purpose to the kids, and even the vets. Irregardless of cap space significance...good move by JoeD for this year too. Best wishes to Mr Big Shot going back home...thanks for the memories Welcome AI!
I tell you what Rosc, AI can't wear his jock. I bet he tried to take it too. - Dett, I'd like to see that intensity passed around. It's just his speed, no one can keep up with AI. That's his Achilles Heal no one can play along side of him.
Just picture AI & Rip running a double helix thru defenses
AI will reportedly be wearing number 1 Rebounding? You think Sheed, JMax, Amir, and Kwame Brown can't rebound? Jeez, it was one of the few things you could count on from Kwame IMO I'm scared of this trade but as usual, I'm behind the Pistons 100%. I'm looking at the analyses that it is possible for us to sign two max contracts for premiere free agents in 2009 AND 2010! Just think: At point guard: Rodney Stuckey At shooting guard: Rip Hamilton At small forward: Lebron James At power forward: Amir Johnson At "center": Chris Bosh The Bench looking like Afflalo, JMax, Herrmann, Kwame, Sharpe, draft picks That's like a new best starting five in the NBA!!!!!!! :winner_first_h4h:
Well, kind of... There's a line from Apocalypse Now - "you don't ##@@%% with the infinite.." The basketball gods can't be too far behind. I'm just saying...
What will happen to Tay? He's going to be our 15th player on the roster?
We aint got money for all that. Amir and Stuck get big contracts soon.
The 2004 Finals MVP should have been Shaq. His refusal to step out on Chauncey on pick & rolls is what allowed Billups to abuse Payton. There is no defender that could overcome that. We also saw what happened when bigs did step out on Chauncey on those. I remember a Portland @ Philly game when Sheed still played there and AI went in to the stands before the game to hug Sheed's mom. I think they're pretty tight.
Snag may keep Iverson out of tonight's game | Freep.com | Detroit Free Press Looks like Dyess hasn't taken his physical yet and so that means AI can't play in tonight's game. Dyess negotiating the buyout instead. We get to see one more night of Bynum off the bench.
I don't get why Billups seems to be having such a hard time flying to Denver. Don't the Nuggets have a travel agent?
I really want to see him play again. He had me the whole time he was on the floor.
He doesn't want to leave.
Well, if he needs help, I am available. Let's get this trade done. These guys are behaving like Dantley dragging their feet like primadonnas.
You guys are so mean If Billups wants to take an extra day and pack extra slow, i'm behind him.
Yeah, if he wants to take an extra day, Stuckey gets hurt playing too many minutes, or if the Pistons lose home court in the playoffs by one game, because they dropped this one against Toronto without AI it's no big deal. I'm behind Chauncey too. Kicking his rear into action.
Separate names with a comma.

My wife Linda and I have decided to start beekeeping this year and are trying to learn as much as possible before we do. We have joined the Norfolk County Beekeepers Association in Walpole MA and bee school starts next month.We haven't bought any equipment yet. I figure that the biggest issue we will need to address is the wood vs. plastic. (Although they may be interchangeable, I don't know.)At first blush, this site looks like it will be a great resource.

May 31, 2012
Tennessee basketball coach Cuonzo Martin, along with UT's head strength and conditioning coach, Ron McKeefery, announced Thursday that Nicodemus Christopher has been hired to oversee all strength and conditioning efforts related to the men's basketball program. Christopher spent the last year as a sports performance assistant at Purdue.
"We're eager to bring Nicodemus on board," Martin said. "I talked to a lot of people whose opinions I value, and the things people had to say about his level of knowledge and work ethic really stood out. I believe he's going to do a great job for us, and I think he'll relate well to our players."
Christopher was responsible for the sports performance programs for softball and track and field at Purdue during the 2011-12 academic year, while also assisting with men's basketball as a speed and conditioning coordinator.
"I'm excited about the opportunity to come to Tennessee and work with one of the best and most progressive coaching staffs in college basketball," Christopher said. "I'm also excited about the vision for the program under coach Martin's guidance."
A native of San Diego, Calif., Christopher has previous experience as an assistant sports performance coach at Accelerate Performance Enhancement Center (APEC) in Tyler, Texas, and he worked as a sports performance coach at the Michael Johnson Performance Center in Dallas. During his time in Dallas, he helped train members of the NHL's Dallas Stars and the FC Dallas MLS franchise. He also assisted with NFL training camp preparation and off-season workouts for NFL standouts such as Marion Barber, Bradie James, Akin Ayodele, Donald Driver and Weslye Saunders, just to name a few.
He received a bachelor's degree in health and human performance from Baylor (2007) and a master's degree in kinesiology with an emphasis on biomechanics and anatomical kinesiology from the University of Texas at Tyler (2010).
As a graduate instructor for biomechanics and anatomical kinesiology at Texas-Tyler from August 2008 through May 2010, Christopher taught students to apply the principles of physics to human movement, such as athletic tasks, in order to improve performance and reduce the risk of injury. His courses also examined how the laws of physics apply to biological systems such as the human body.
Christopher was a volunteer assistant strength and conditioning coach at Stanford in the fall of 2010, and he is a USA Weightlifting (USAW) certified sport performance coach.
During his time as an undergraduate at Baylor, Christopher sat on the executive boards of both the African Student Association and the Association of Black Students.

Re: Pirate Games
Well, I haven't submitted since "Cats, The T-Shirt," but I have been working furiously (not actually working angry, but rather, working hard) in the background.
J5 told me about GIMP, so I don't have to import from my free drawing program for the HP Touchpad into Open Office Impress into Microsoft Paint, back into, well, you get the picture.
The idea here is that pirates don't play nice games.
Aha! Figured that out on your own, did you?
Edit: To clarify, I submitted to "Cats, Cats, Cats;" common sense now suggests that bastardizing the Derby theme could lead to confusion about which Derby and/or which entry. I belatedly realized that there was, in fact, a "Cats, the Musical," and I do not wish to step on anyone"s toes.
My thought process had originally dredged up a series of redux names that White Wolf had after "Magic: The Gathering," such as "Pimp, the Backhanding."My household tends to oversimplify things sometimes, and I get used to shorthand speech.
My four shirt entries in my first ever Woot! Derby, and my first ever illustration submissions went to Cats! Cats! Cats!; they were Feline Ouroboros, F. Ouroboros Pop Art, Three to Tee, and Cheshire Dressing Room.
Sorry for any potential confusion.

Re: Redbeard's Institute of Piratry, Est. 1512
I like the design, but not the colors. I think the white is too hot for the other colors, and the brown doesn't work on the gray shirt. I'd say bring the white text down, and match the color to the shirt - I like gray so I'd say bring the graphic down into the gray hues, but you should probably just choose a better shirt color.

The shape of the rat satisfies the graphical element requirement. Thanks for not hating.
There's nothing about this design that's not exactly as it should be. From the font to the framing, to the background and the woodcut style of the various hooks - it just screams 'win' to me. Excellent work!
Re: gARRRRamond
I like your use of text to create the Jolly Roger saying, "R."
I have to admit it took me a beat or two to really get it. I had to step back from What do the letters say? into the question, "What does the graphic present?"
Nice graphic! Fabulous integration of the shape of the letter into the design of a familiar object.
Reminiscent (in a non-copying or duplicative fashion) of TAter and Ignorant's team Pi-Rat. You've done on a grand scale what they accomplished with their rat's ear and right claw, in my opinion. In a word, Brilliant (yours and theirs).

Bob, I was a mechanical designer for part of my business career, but certainly not an engineer.
You, and the Rifleman's staff, are correct about the arrangement of the Webley's stirrup latch, and I was wrong. I had forgotten about the recesses in the pistol's frame, and I mis-remembered the number of screws involved.
Nevertheless, I am not willing to concede that the stirrup-latch idea is mechanically strong. It is sufficient to restrain the relatively weak 0.455 round (and, through pistol modification, .45 ACP), but that's about it. I don't believe that it could be modified, or strengthened enough, to contain a higher-powered cartridge, for instance .357 Magnum, .44 Special (Keith load?), or .44 Magnum. I am not certain that it could be built to regularly withstand even .38 Special.
Years ago, I toyed with a top-break design that would place its latch in compression, rather than shear. I thought that it was a good idea for the same reasons that you do, so I took it to a real engineer who was familiar with metallurgy and manufacturing processes.
He shot me down. Although my compression-stress idea was a good one, the real difficulty was in the complexity of the forms, and in the way the mechanism had to fit together. It would've been very expensive to produce, even in large quantity.
I believe that this is the reason why we do not see further development of the top-break idea.

I am just back from the whirlwind that is Nasscom India Leadership Forum 2013 in Mumbai, India. The Nasscom event is the premier event for the Indian IT services marketplace. Besides meeting great people, eating too much wonderful Indian food, and seeing action star and local legend Amitabh Bachchan in-person, the event provides a chance to check the pulse of the most important geographic hub for the IT services marketplace.
Here are some of my key findings from the trip:
