"Lovely cards. Super nice to have addresses and return addresses printed right on the envelopes. Matching thank yous were perfect. Arrived sooner than expected."
"I ordered these for my college announcements and they were perfect. They were so much more fun than the ones my college provided. I loved the thickness of the card stock and the colors. They totally fit my personality and style. I also received them much sooner than I thought I would. I would definitely order from Tiny Prints again."
"This is our third round of announcements - high school, college undergraduate, and now masters graduation. Have loved all three products, but this time around we wanted something a little different of course. This simple and elegant design was the perfect choice for us. The quality did not disappoint and the text space allowed customization of the venue for a split ceremony at her college. The back pictures collage option worked well for displaying just a few pictures for family. Awesome looking card!"
"First of all, I ran into a snag while ordering these announcements and the CEO himself emailed me back and was very helpful and warm. I really appreciated that. I just received my order yesterday. It arrived very quickly and my order was AWESOME! It was better than I expected it to be. The quality was amazing! It looks so good! Excellent paper, great print quality and even the envelopes that come free with this order are a wonderful quality. The entire presentation of the order was above and beyond. I was so pleased. I will continue to use Tiny Prints for all of my printing needs. Thank you Tiny Prints!"
"My son was very happy with these graduation announcements. He had fun picking out the letter style. Very professional looking. The card-stock and envelope quality was excellent. Nice touch with the design on the back."

Over the last few months I have been trying to get more familiar with BackTrack4. I have noticed when using the 802.11 wireless vulnerability assessment tools, such as airmon-ng/aircrack-ng within a virtual environment using VMWare Workstation, BackTrack continues to produce errors when trying to start the WLAN0/MON0 interfaces one particular USB ports.
The error it produces is - "ioctl(SI0CSIFFLAGS) failed: unknown error 132"
As soon as I disconnect the external wireless antenna I am using (Alfa AWUS036H 1000mW) from VMWare and the PC/laptop itself and re-connect to a different USB port, it works fine within VMWare for a period of time and then the error re-occurs. Often moving from USb port to USB port or affecting two at the same time.
This occurs when using both the virtual machine direct from the BackTrack website as well as the live CD ISO within VMWare.
However, when I use BackTrack 4 (VM & ISO) with the same applications and hardware on the very same PC within a virtual environment using Oracle VirtualBox and the same USB ports as before, everything works fine, even immediately after the error appeared in VMWare prior to a system re-boot or the adaptor being disconnected and without any system changes being made.
This has occurred on numerous machines I have tried.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so, found a solution, other than just using VirtualBox? I would like to get this resolved to work within VMWare in order to use such functionality as recording items for discussing and review at a later date and the option to view at a desired full widescreen resolution etc.
I have checked the FAQ's and the Wiki, however, nothing jumps out at me about this subject.

Who is the Hero of Ages?
To end the Final Empire and restore freedom, Vin killed the Lord Ruler. But as a result, the Deepness - the lethal form of the ubiquitous mists - is back, along with increasingly heavy ashfalls and ever more powerful earthquakes. Humanity appears to be doomed.
Having escaped death at the climax of The Well of Ascension only by becoming a Mistborn himself, Emperor Elend Venture hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will allow him to save the world. Vin is consumed with guilt at having been tricked into releasing the mystic force known as Ruin from the Well. Ruin wants to end the world, and its near omniscience and ability to warp reality make stopping it seem impossible. She can't even discuss it with Elend, lest Ruin learn their plans!
The conclusion of the Mistborn trilogy fulfills all the promise of the first two books. Revelations abound, connections rooted in early chapters of the series click into place, and surprises, as satisfying as they are stunning, blossom like fireworks to dazzle and delight. It all leads up to a finale unmatched for originality and audacity that will leave listeners shaking their heads in wonder, as if awaking from an amazing dream.

"Well concluded!"
Sanderson's final book is masterful. I was absolutely addicted to listening to it and couldn't set my ipod down. It's very well written, never feeling contrived. I felt sometimes there were a little bit too many explanations intended for somebody who started at the third book and didn't read the others which would drag on a bit, but this didn't take away from the book. Most, if not all loose ends feel tied up. The magic system he created is almost entirely disclosed and his revealing it bit by bit is well done and keeps you interested. Character development is supreme and watching them grow through their struggles is very entertaining. I highly recommend this book and the ones leading up to it.
Hey Audible, don't raise prices and I promise to buy lots more books.
"So sorry it's over"
I am writing this after having finished the entire trilogy. While this was an incredible book and stands alone just fine on its own, I wanted to reserve judgement on each book till I finished the trilogy in order to put each one into perspective. This was my first Bandon Sanderson book and I loved it. At first, it was challenging to get into the whole concept of Allomancy but I eventually did and appreciated every aspect of this masterpiece. The books moved quickly, the story is rich in its treatments of many aspects personal character, politics, government, philosophy and religion. And each character is fully developed to the point where we probably care about all of them including some of the bad ones. The world created by Brandon Sanderson and stunningly narrated by Michael Kramer is not like any one I or probably any of us could have possibly imagined. As long as this trilogy was, I am so sorry to have it finally end.
I like scifi and urban fantasy. I don't like romance novels. If you are the same my reviews should help.
"A satisfying conclusion to the series."
This is the last book in this series. It is great just like the others. If you already read the other two books I probably couldn't make you stay away from this one if I tried and I definitely wouldn't. This novel kicks the action up several notches and the scale of the powers involved goes up several orders of magnitude. The novel answers all the questions and finishes the series off nicely. The only downside is that this series is so good I wound up with post book depression. You know it is the last of the series and it is like losing old friends. The only downside is that there aren't several more books in the series. Although, in the age of super long seriesh it is nice to see someone actually finish a series.
"hope for the ages"
It is encouraging to know that Brandon Sanderson will be finishing the Wheel of Time series. May Robert Jordan rest in peace no criticism intended here of RJ but this guy can write a tightly drawn
story. With some twists in plot and characters that are very well drawn this story is a bit off
the beaten path from a lot of sword and magic swinging fantasy. There is a really creative edge to his plot. In the audio vernacular this
book is a page turner. I consider seriously each
book I buy from Audible. I spend a lot of time in the car and I want to be entertained with thoughtful sci fi or fantasy. Every time I finish a good one I think I may have run out and then a GREAT story like this comes up and bites me.
Highly recommended.
"My least favorite of the three books, but good."
I work a graveyard shift, in which I listen to my audio books, so the narration is extremely important to me due to the need to stay awake and aware of what I am doing. Michael Kramer is the best fantasy narrator I've come across. He has a plethora of distinct character voices, which are all easily recognizable. Also, he doesn't sound horribly monotonous, as with many other narrators.
Brandon Sanderson writes a lot like Robert Jordan. Though, in my opinion he is better, and tends to leave out unnecessary explanations (such as describing everything everyone is wearing). If you like the Wheel of Time series, you will be happy with this trilogy.
"Excellent Book!"
This is an excellent book. I did not become aware of Brandon Sanderson until I read the Wheel of Time (WoT) series. After reading the last book in that series, I found out Robert Jordan passed away just when I finished reading the second to the last book (There was one more that was to be written - A memory of light). I researched and found that Brandon Sanderson was due to write the last book in the series. I wanted to find out what kind of a writer Sanderson was. The first book of his I read, Elantris, was excellent. I decided to try this series and found them just wonderful. The line I love from this series ( It sometimes repeats itself automatically in my mind, is "ash fell from the sky." If you have read this book, you understand what I mean. If you haven't, then hurry up and read it - you'll understand what I mean then.
I'm the most boring person on the planet.
"Bravo! Master Sanderson!"
Thank you, Master Sanderson, for what was a wonderful, unique, and thoroughly fulfilling story, with an excellent and well thought-out ending. Some stories are great, but don't often end well, this story was great to the very very last. I cannot recommend this trilogy highly enough -- an absolute must experience story. Listen to it, read it, or have someone read it to you, but you will not regret coming to know The Crew.
And thank you, too, for picking up the Light of Tar Valon and completing Master Jordan's epic tail; he would be most proud, I believe. You have become, in both your own right, and in helping complete the final tale of another master, a true hero of ages...
Did you know you can put in a set of Ear-Buds, slap your Hearing Protectors over them, and Mow the lawn, Weed-Eat, etc, without your book being drowned out by engine noise? OR, you can just let the horses in the yard, and THEY'LL mow and weedeat (literally) FOR YOU!
FINALLY, an author that gives you ALL of the clues, without suddenly pulling out some "Hidden Clue" they'd held back to keep you from figuring out everything too early... He laid out EVERYTHING as the story moved along, and when everything comes together, you slap your forehead and say, "It was ALL RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF ME, and I STILL didn't figure it out!!!"
If ANYONE has a CLUE about "Who/What 'God' or ANY religions are about", I'd lay MY Money on it being "Sanderson"... He weaves everything all together to EXPLAIN "Faith", WITHOUT leaving any "Wiggle Room For Error, In case he's proved to be wrong later" (Which I doubt COULD happen anyway), so that even those of us who have yet to find any "Faith", or have had ours shattered, can at least UNDERSTAND what we're looking for...
Just BRILLIANT! VERY Well Done!!!! Pure Excellence on EVERY LAYER, and EVERY DETAIL, of the tale he's crafted... and on ALL of the MANY different subjects he covered!!!
"MORE, Please!"
"Well Concluded series"
This series was strong start to finish. If you're like me you are hooked and all I can say is you won't be disappointed.
The audio books I get tend to be either 1) scifi or 2) things for my husband and me to listen to on long road trips--humor or history
"Easily among the best fantasy series ever"
Definitely!! I would recommend this to anyone who likes epic fantasy, but most especially anyone who stopped reading the genre years ago, despairing that if they had to read another Tolkien knockoff their head might explode. Anyone who read Harry Potter and thought "There's GOT to be a better way to write about magic than this!" Anyone who misses that sense of wonder that you got the first time you discovered the incredible world and people of Middle Earth or Pern or Narnia. This is the series you have been waiting for.
Lord of the Rings - Mistborn might be the best epic fantasy I have read since LotR; Harry Potter - Sanderson does magic for adults; Pern - Sanderson's worldbuilding and characters are every bit as imaginative and compelling as McCaffrey's; Narnia - Sanderson adds touches of philosophy and religion without getting overbearing
Yes, I've listened to several books read by Mr. Kramer and in fact chose to listen to the Mistborn series based entirely on how much I enjoyed his reading of "Jennifer Government"
YES! But at 27 hours that was impractical. Still, I definitely devoured it as quickly as my schedule would allow-- about one week.

|Quick fresh fig refrigerator jam - simply chopped figs, sugar, a little bit of water, and some lemon. Simple. Perfect.
Fresh Fig Refrigerator JamSeems like I just planted my Celeste fig tree but it's been more than 4 years already. I planted it in honor of my mama not long after Hurricane Katrina made me a full time homemaker and well, blogger of southern food too I guess now! You can read more about Mama's fig tree on my recipe for a delicious lemon poppy seed fig glazed cake. The cake there is "glazed," or really just topped to be honest, with nothing more than a thicker form of refrigerator jam.
I didn't post this jam before now because frankly I pretty much thought that figs had played out and it wouldn't really be much use to anybody but me. Then a few people mentioned on the Facebook page that they are only now beginning to pick figs and looking for recipes for fig jams, so I guess it might be helpful after all!
Truthfully, other than eating them plain, and maybe stuffing a few, this simple refrigerator jam is really the only way that I ever prepare figs to be honest. It's simple and tasty. At this point I still don't get enough of a harvest to bother with preserving them using a canning method, though you certainly can. It requires a longer and more involved process to make shelf-stable preserves though, so if you plan on preserving, be sure to follow a recipe specific to that, and not this recipe. This is not a canning recipe.
Hey, while you're here, check out these stuffed figs I came up with. Pretty good little bite-sized morsels of goodness I have to say!
|Figs, stuffed with honey goat cheese mixed with dried cranberry, pecan and Cajun seasoning, wrapped with prosciutto, roasted and finished with chopped pecans & Steen's pure cane syrup.
Easy as can be from here. Simply dump in the sugar, add a bit of water and give it a good stir. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until mixture is reduced and thickened - usually between 45 minutes to an hour, sometimes a little longer. If you like a little lemon for flavor, as I do, add it here, stir in and cook another minute.
Let cool, place into a container and store sealed in the refrigerator.
If you think this sounds yummy, I'd sure ♥ it if you'd click to pin it, tweet it, stumble it, or share it on Facebook to help spread the word - thanks!

Each and every night lasting friendships are made and friends are reunited, sometimes for the first time since the previous summer. Arsenal Americans meet Vienna Gooners. Arsenal Slovenians see their old friends from Arsenal Croatia. The Trondergooners from Trondheim, Norway, reunite with the Bergamo Gooners from Italy. And, of course, the Dover Gooners are everywhere - trademarks of Arsenal pre-season trips in Austria.
Some supporters clubs plan short-sided games with one another, and Arsenal America & Norway defeated Arsenal Austria 8-4 - for what was Arsenal America's first ever victory, I believe.
There is also the opportunity, if one times it correctly, to meet certain members of Arsenal Football Club.
Players sign autographs outside when coming off and going onto the team bus, but they are even obliging within the small stadium itself, provided that training for that session is over.
The Arsenal America banner, which has made the trip over the last two seasons after a five year hiatus, is now covered in signatures courtesy of players taking the time to sign it after practice, and is a crowd favorite.
A certain highlight of every training session is Wenger's ride into and out of practice on his bike, always stopping for an autograph or a picture. Some make themselves available for small talk as they go about their business - from the club photographer to Eboue, naturally, to Wenger himself.
As the camp progresses and players begin to distinguish themselves in training, expectations begin to rise and goals are set by the supporters. Some see the Premier League title as realistic with one signing more, others are concerned another disappointing third or fourth place finish in on the horizon.
Regardless of the overall strength of the team, certain players made their mark. Samir Nasri amazed in training and translated that to the friendlies. Emmanuel Frimpong made an argument to become Alex Song's back-up in the midfield. Jack Wilshere seems to have more bite in his play following his time with Bolton. Each player had the opportunity to seize their chance and some did so without hesitating, others did not impress as much as I'm sure they would have liked.
Another pre-season in Austria concluded and, while the American influence in the Club grows and there is no World Cup or European Championships next summer, I hope that come next spring I can book my airfare back to Austria and see my extended Arsenal family once again.

Although much of the country of Jordan is considered to be a desert, it has a wealth of culture and attractions. These include seaside resorts, ancient ruins and nature preserves, along with an impressive array of museums. Discount hotels in Jordan near the Gulf of Aquaba offer tourists beach access and the ability to participate in water sports such as surfing and snorkeling in the Red Sea. The Jordan Archaeological Museum is located in the capital city of Amman and has an extensive collection of pieces that spans many different ancient eras from Paleolithic times all the way through present times. About 30 miles of Amman is the ancient town of Jerash. Here you can see such attractions as the South Theater, which is a huge amphitheater that was built about 2,000 years ago and is still used today.Cheap hotels in Jordan near Petra are conveniently situated for travelers that want to tour this ancient city. The ancient town of Petra was carved into Mount Hor thousands of years ago and is now a World Heritage Site. Visitors can tour the Petra Monastery and gaze at the ancient ruins of the amphitheatre. There are also many nature preserves in Jordan that are managed by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature. The Dana Preserve in southern Jordan is around 320 square kilometers. It has numerous hiking trails and camping areas. For the more adventurous tourists, camel trekking in Jordan's southwestern area of Wadi Rum can also be enjoyed.

Compression Calculator Help
Hey guys need some help figuring a few things out.
(1) First what is deck clearence. Is that how much clearence you have between the center of the piston and the actual height of the deck surface????
(2) How do I figure out what my compressed gasket thickness is??
(3) What is effective dome volume, and how would I figure that out
1. Deck clearance or "quench height" is the distance from top of piston to surface of block. Stock is usually .020" - .030". Not to be confused with deck height. SBC is 9.025" deck height. Rod length (5.700") + compression height (1.563") + quench height (.022") + 1/2 stroke length (1.740") = Deck height (9.025") is typical of a Chevrolet 350 CI and a 4.3L V6 engine .
2. The composition head gaskets packages will have the compressed thickness listed. My Fel Pro gaskets are .041" compress thickness.
3. Effective dome volume is listed on the piston specifications when you buy them. It is a negative amount such as -13 CC and is subtracted from the chamber volume. Example: 64 CC combustion chamber volume - 13 CC piston head volume = 51 CC chamber volume. Since the elimination of leaded high octane pump gasoline, the domed piston in most street driven engines are a thing of the past. A SBC combustion chamber volume less than 64 CC is all that 93 octane pump gas can take.
So when I bought my gaskets it says on the box/package what the compressed thickness is??? Also I have flat top pistons and around the outter edge of it its slightly higher than in the middle of it. So should I measure from the center of the piston or from the edge of the piston
Deck clearance is the distance between the upper most portion of the flat part of the piston (usually at least the outer "edge") at TDC and the deck surface. Most manufacturers allow a deck clearance of greater than .010" to avoid incidental contact of the piston and head. Some are as high as .060". Measuring deck cleance requires a good magnetic-based dial indicator or a "bridge" (made specfically for the purpose). In our (machinists) lingo, TDC means EXACT top dead center, not "about". A degree wheel and indicator are required to determine that as well. Once TDC IS determined, one can use a straight-edge and "stack" feeler blades to get a rough idea of what the clearance is. Using the dial indicator is the proper way to determine exactly what the clearance is. Set the indicator to "zero" while on the deck. Move it to the edge of the pison closest to the pin. The difference in the readings is your clearance. In the vernacular, "in the hole" refers to negative deck clearance. The relationship of the center of the piston and the deck is of no concern. It's the shape of the dome and the chamber that must be compatible. Both a "dome" and "dish" will have different centers than deck clearance.
Most gasket makers supply that information, either in the catelog or with the product. A typical "stock" gasket for a 350 Chevy has a compressed thickness of .0394" (1 mm). We generally "round" that to .040". There are thinner and thicker gaskets, both "stock" and aftermarket for a variety of applications. For resistance to detonation, most builders agree .040" of "quench" is ideal, so using the stock gasket will usually get you as close as possible, depending on deck clearance.
Computing the dome volume from external dimensions is a tricky business unless it's a concentric shape. The engineers that made the piston have calculations that work, but "in the field", it's much easier just to measure it. At least one piston/ring assembly must be installed and attached to the crankshaft. Cam timing is not necesary at this point.
Find true TDC. Record deck clearance.
Using the dial indicator, lower the piston in the bore exactly 1". "CC" the cylinder in exactly the same manner as measuring the chamber volume in the head. Record the results.
Using the formula "Pi x R(squared) x H", find the "normal" volume of the 1" "cylinder". Where Pi = 3.14159, R = 1/2 bore size and H = stroke (in this case, 1"). Use the same formula to determine the amount "added" by the deck clearance where H = the clearance. Subtract the deck clearance volume from the actual volume. Subtract that from the "normal" volume of the 1" cylinder. To convert from "inch" to metric, multiply the results by 16.378 (how many CCs in one cubic inch). There is your "dome volume".
Doing this job isn't all that difficult. The tools aren't cheap. For a "once in a while" thing, I doubt it's worth the expense. A local machine shop can do the measuring for you at a reasonable charge if you do all the "prep" (subassembly, etc.). Call your local guys and ask. Of course, if you're up for it, buy or borrow the tools and do it yourself! You need a "CCing" kit, a dial indicator and base with at least a 1" stroke, a degree wheel and pointer and alcohol. Water will "do" in a pinch, but be sure to dry it up IMMEDIATELY when you're done. Nothing "thicker" than water.
It appears that you have dished pistons. What are you trying to measure?
Well I am looking to buy all new engine parts for a 350 project from the bottom end to the top end and was just trying to figure out what my compression ratio would be with certain pistons and heads. But for now I was just trying to find out what my comp ratio is on my 305 for my truck. By the way what is the highest compression that can be ran on any type of pump gas???
I know for a fact that 10:1 can be used with 93 octane pump gas if the pump gas is Chevron/Texaco. The octane at the El Cheapo independent stations that buy gasoline on the spot market is questionable.
I was told buy an owner of a 1968 Corvette that if you have a older engine without computer controls, the engine can have as high as 11:1 CR and run well on E85 Ethanol 110 octane pump gas. My 1963 Pontiac 421 HO had 12:1 CR and it would not run on anything but 100% VP C12 108 octane racing fuel.
When you are rebuilding you have an opportunity to correct these deficiencies if you realize they are there. This is where you see a true flat top piston is where the crown surface is the same surface level, except for valve reliefs, all the way across. Here again one encounters a cost savings measure taken on lower cost replacement pistons where there are 2 rows making 4 valve reliefs, again this is a means of using one set of tools to make left and right side pistons. For slightly more there are 2 relief pistons which are made in unique left and right side configurations.
Squish and quench are often referred to as "mechanical octane". This is to say that their function is such that for a given compression ratio they can add to the fuel's octane by the way they stir the mixture, concentrate the mixture before the spark plug this is the squish function as the piston closed toward Top Dead Center. The quench function is that the close closure of the piston and head on the far side of the chamber works as a heat sink to keep the mixture furthest from the spark plug from self-igniting from the temperature and pressure effects of combustion before the flame front gets to that side of the cylinder. As the bore becomes larger and where the spark plug is placed are huge players in this function's quality. To a large extent the bore is what the bore is so the place you can play is with where the cylinder head places the spark plug. Heads from the early emission days placed the spark plug way off on the exhaust side of the chamber, they were after long slow burns at low compression to keep nitrogen oxide formation low as this is hard to clean up where this also creates high levels of unburnt hydrocarbons these are easy to clean up from the exhaust. It once was very popular to put 305 heads on 350s to punch the compression up but these heads also suffer from the spark plug being a long way from the center of the cylinder so it's difficult to take full advantage of the compression improvement without hitting detonation and preignition well before all the potential power has been taken from the increased compression. Starting with the L98 and Swirl Port heads you see the spark plug being moved toward the valves to reduce the distance the flame from needs to travel which reduces the tendency to detonate or pre-ignite. This is continued even further and has the added advantage of improved porting with the LT1 and 4 heads, the Fastburn and L31 Vortecs. This idea has also become predominate with the aftermarket head industry which in many cases can also be seen in their large chamber 70 something cc heads where the spark plug is in a boss the protrudes up into the line of the valve diameter. These chamber designs that induce a lot of squish and quench while moving the spark plug as far into the cylinder as the valve location will allow are like adding 5 or more octanes to the fuel you're using. This lets you push the compression which is where there is more power and efficiency to be had.
We've done a back to back dyno test of a 355 Chevy engine that had a common configuration except for piston crown shapes. At redline WOT and redline there isn't a lot of difference on power output between the round dish piston and the D-dish. Although the D-dish holds its top end power band a little stronger and higher. Where the big impact is seen between these dish configurations is off idle up almost to WOT, RPMs where especially the torque line is fatter sometimes as much as 30 foot pounds this of course translates into more horsepower in this region as well. The story here is where a street engine especially spends most of its time it will pull harder with less throttle which leads to less fuel consumption at cruise. It's a story that squish/quench is better with the D dish piston, the round dish starts to improve as the RPMs peak to where the torque and horsepower differences get down to only about 5 numbers torque or horsepower in favor of the D-dish. If I figure out how to get Windows 8 to make decent graphs I'll include that analysis.
All this means is you need to pay attention to what the calculators or specs are calling for. Best to use one calculator and stick w/it. The one I use is here. There are others, obviously.
Below are two dynamic compression ratio (DCR) calculators. To use them you need the intake valve closing point from the cam card and the length of the connecting rod (stock SBC is 5.7 except for the 400 which is 5.565"):
Dynamic CR
United Engine & Machine Co. Incorporated
When you go to calculate the "quench" distance, be aware there are pistons for the SBC 350 that have a compression height (or CH, the distance from the wrist pin c/l to the top of the piston) of 1.56" (stock) or 1.54" (known a "rebuilder" pistons). Because of the difference in CH, these two types of pistons will have different quench figures, all else being equal.
I use these formulas.
AutomotiveCalculators and Converters
The calculator I was using is on the summit racing site. It asks Bore, Stroke, Cylinder Head Volume, Effective Dome Volume, Deck Clearence, Compressed Gasket Thickness, and number of cylinders.
BOGIE are you saying that on swirl port heads they made the spark plug where it ignites on the exhaust side.
The Vortec is another step forward it borrows pretty heavily from the combustion chambers and port designs of the mid 1990s LT1 and LT4 heads as does the aluminum GMPP Fast Burn head but both the Vortec and Fast Burn use conventional coolant routing and will fit any GEN I block that has enough bore diameter to clear the valves.
Several SBC chambers

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Tracy Chapman
Raised in a working class neighborhood in Cleveland, Ohio, Chapman learned how to play guitar as a child, and began to write her own songs shortly afterward. Following high school, she won a minority placement scholarship and decided to attend Tufts University, where she studied anthropology and African studies. While at Tufts, she became fascinated with folk-rock and singer/songwriters, and began performing her own songs at coffeehouses. Eventually, she recorded a set of demos at the college radio station. One of her fellow students, Brian Koppelman, heard Chapman play and recommended her to his father, Charles Koppelman, who ran SBK Publishing. In 1986, she signed with SBK and Koppelman secured a management contract with Elliot Roberts, who had worked with Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. Roberts and Koppelman helped Chapman sign to Elektra in 1987.
Chapman recorded her debut album with David Kershenbaum, and the resulting eponymous record was released in the spring of 1988. Tracy Chapman was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and she set out on the road supporting 10,000 Maniacs. Within a few months, she played at the internationally televised concert for Nelson Mandela's 70th birthday party, where her performance was greeted with thunderous applause. Soon, the single "Fast Car" began climbing the charts, eventually peaking at number six. The album's sales soared along with the single, and by the end of the year, the record had gone multi-platinum. Early the following year, the record won four Grammys, including Best New Artist.
It was an auspicious beginning to Chapman's career, and it was perhaps inevitable that her second album, 1989's darker, more political Crossroads, didn't fare quite as well. Although it was well-reviewed, the album wasn't as commercially successful, peaking at number nine and quickly falling down the charts. Following Crossroads, Chapman spent a few years in seclusion, returning in 1992 with Matters of the Heart. The album was greeted with mixed reviews and weak sales, and for a time, it seemed Chapman had begun to fall into obscurity. Three years later, she rebounded with New Beginning, which featured the bluesy single "Give Me One Reason." Released in 1995, the song slowly climbed the charts, eventually peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning Chapman another Grammy for Best Rock Song in 1997. It was a quiet, successful comeback from an artist most observers had already consigned to languish in cult status. After a four-year break, she delivered her fifth album, Telling Stories, in 2000. The album and its single, "Telling Stories," fared well both in the U.S and in Europe, where Chapman's presence was increasingly in demand. Throughout the next decade, she would continue to fare well overseas, releasing 2002's Let It Rain and 2005's Where You Live and touring frequently both Stateside and in Europe. Still a socially conscious artist, Chapman was commissioned by the American Conservatory Theater in 2008 to compose the music for their production of Athol Fugard's apartheid-themed play Blood Knot. That same year, she released her eighth album, Our Bright Future, and received another Grammy nomination, this time for Best Contemporary Folk Album. For a number of years following its release, little was heard from Chapman until a 2015 live appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. Performed during the final week of Letterman's tenure on the show, Chapman's haunting rendition of Ben E. King's "Stand by Me" became a viral hit and was eventually included on her first Greatest Hits compilation, released in November of that year. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine & Timothy Monger

Lake State After Hours at Cozy Corners
4:30 PM until 11:00 PM
Organization: Alumni
Description: Thursday, July 11, is Lake State After Hours, an informal gathering of Laker alumni, employees and friends, and this month we're heading to the Cozy Corners Tavern and Grill in Barbeau. Look for the Laker flag on the deck and join us starting at 4:30 pm for Laker camaraderie and an awesome view of the St. Mary's River! Your LSSU Alumni Association will spring for free appetizers and some door prizes, too. Come on down to the Cozy Corners between 4:30 and 6:00pm Thursday to take advantage of the free apps and door prizes. The Corners are always hopping busy on Thursdays, so we can not guarantee seating past 6:00 pm. Why are Thursdays so busy? Thursday is wing night at Cozy Corners, featuring all-you-can eat chicken wings for $7.99. Other specials include a boneless chicken wing zings basket for $7.99, or boneless skinless chicken bites for $8.99 (grilled, blackened or deep fried). Happy Hour specials include Bud light drafts for $1.25, 50 cents off bottled domestic beer and 50 cents off glasses of wine. Happy Hour runs until 6pm. Not sure how to get there? It's simple: From the Soo, drive south on M-129 or Riverside Drive until you reach 15 Mile Road. Turn left and drive east until the road ends at the river. You're there! If you live in Pickford, this is just an easy stop on your way home. Another option: you can travel by boat – they have a dock right outside the Cozy Corners. Lake State After Hours is a gathering of Laker alumni, employees, friends and fans, which meets on the first Thursday of every month at various local establishments. After Hours is sponsored by the LSSU Alumni Association, with free snacks and door prizes each month. Contact Susan Fitzpatrick in the Alumni office for more information at 635-2831 or email email@example.com. It is not necessary to RSVP – but you get a gold star if you do! See you there!

HBF helps government agencies at every level better serve a uniquely connected public.
The rapid spread of digital technology and cloud computing has given government organisations an unprecedented opportunity for creating citizen-based online services, while both raising the standard of service delivery and reducing its costs.
Citizens are using digital and social technologies to play a more active role in the democratic process. They are able to access information and services in real-time, and are using online social media tools to interact with each other and their government bodies in ways never before seen.
While adjusting to these changing dynamics, government agencies must at the same time continue to support essential areas such as defence, human services and national security at a federal level; public safety, health, education and transport at a state level; and rural and industrial management at the local level, while planning for future communities.
HBF calls it "Connected Government", where government agencies at every level – federal, state and local – are learning to be more flexible and responsive in meeting changing social and demographic dynamics. Our Connected Government vision considers factors such as how responsive, inclusive, collaborative, innovative and productive an agency is, and how our solutions can help improve those outcomes.
We have close relationships with organisations across all three tiers of government and work with them to meet their challenges by creating tailored solutions for the delivery of digital communication services for citizens, business and between government agencies.
Furthermore, we can provide the level of network security that citizens expect of their government, allowing them to interact safely with the knowledge that confidential data is being protected with the highest level of vigilance.
Why choose HBF?
Apart from the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are partnering with a trusted government service provider with the country's widest network coverage, there are many benefits to choosing HBF.
Cost effective solutions
HBF's national coverage provides significant economies of scale. Services stretch across the entire continent for all to access any time with our fully integrated national service.
Secure communications
HBF understands that governments have a responsibility to ensure personal, policy and strategic information is in a secure environment and cannot be accessed by unauthorised persons. HBF solutions ensure that government and citizen data, and VOIP and wireless communications are protected by the highest level of security, which HBF continually monitors to detect and counteract emerging threats.
Government agencies require the ability to increase bandwidth to meet public and internal demand which cannot be determined from any previous traffic models. The HBF IP network infrastructure offers the ability to grow or shrink depending on this demand.
Access to industry experts
You will be dealing with experts in the delivery of government services, not sales people. Our specialists work closely in partnership with all levels of government to develop and implement solutions to meet specific challenges and policies.
Tailored solutions
Our solutions are flexible and tailored to meet governments' diversity of needs, based on a long heritage of servicing government requirements, and can be scaled up or down as requirements dictate. If we don't have a solution, we will help you develop one.
Integrated national approach
HBF provides an integrated communications approach based on compatible platforms that help facilitate the increasing need to share services, data or communications both within and between governments.
Experience the HBF difference
HBF has a reputation for high quality service, leading-edge world-class solutions, and for delivering on time and on budget.
Cloud Computing
The internet-based nature of cloud computing means cloud-based services can be accessed by citizens anywhere the internet reaches, even on mobile devices, and at any time that suits them.
Cloud computing has opened new worlds of opportunity for government and its constituents, but not without its unique challenges. That is why HBF has tailored its cloud computing services specifically for government agencies, factoring in unique storage, hosting, security, cost and scalability needs, for example.
Our cloud computing services provide a robust and secure platform for hosting government data and services. We advise agencies the best options for moving storage and government-related computing functions into the cloud.
Software, platform and hardware capabilities can all be accessed on-demand with immediate scalability, enabling organisations to reduce capital expenditure and improve cost-efficiency with pay-as-you-use information, communication and technology services. New services can also be created quickly without the need for upfront investment in hardware and software licences. Services can also be scaled to quickly cater for peak periods such as regular or annual events or emergency situations.
Contact centre services
While the web is playing an increasingly important role in federal government service delivery, it is only one piece of the equation: people still like to speak with people. HBF's Contact Centre Services team consults across many industries, including government, to provide strategic advice on how to get the most out of strategic contact centres.

Anyone else not able to make picks yet?
I can make picks. Can anyone else not make picks? I can take this up with Vinny if necessary. What is happening when you try to make picks, Det?
I can make picks....not very good ones....but I can make picks.
I'm picking the Lions. I believe... [SIGN][/SIGN]
I'm picking the Bears...in Survivor.
Opening game tonight. Remember to submit your picks. If you don't pick tonight's game, then later pick the weekend's games, tonight's game ends up counting as an incorrect pick.
Seems like money in the bank since the Lions have lost 20 in a row on the road..
Seems like a no-lose. If I get eliminated from Survivor, I will still be ecstatic that the Lions actually won a road game. Actually, it appears that no game has less than a 7-point Vegas spread this week. Perhaps there will be many Survivor casualties in week one.
I think the way that it is set up you guys will all get a 2nd bite of the apple. That means it will take me two weeks to put you losers out of your misery. Roscoe Sir, I would really appreciate it if you can take time from your busy day to award me my trophy from last year. Humbly, Darth Get off your butt, put down the bon bons and give me my freakin trophy NOW , Rascoe, you cheap lazy SOB!!!!! [SIGN] to repeat in 2010[/SIGN]
8 people at this site are Picking the Titans, against my Raiders...in survivor. I will either be victorious :winner_first_h4h: as the only person picking them. OR...I will go down hard and fast.
Raiders on the road, new QB etc. You got heart problems.
We're tied for 1st. All 6 pf.com members picked the Saints!!!
Celebrating early...Always a good move. :winner_first_h4h:
It could be short-lived....Actually, once Darth and Jammer stopped picking for our group, we shot right to the top of the standings. Coincidence?
I don't think so...
If you guys think I am not paying attention to this thread then you are WRONG! I'm watching you...
You need to be going over to Trivia...
8 games settled right now with Bill leading the charge going 7-1 and PF.com on top with .729 Looks like our ole buddy sportsgymp2.3x defected to the coalition team this year...too bad cuz he's 8-0 right now but his group is in 6th place at .611
I thought Thee was sportsgymp. He's with the enemies?

How to clear all definitions?
I play around with the definitions of functions a lot and I've learned
that every time I change something, I better save the file, close mma
and restart it. Otherwise, mma gives rediculous answers sometimes and
I never know what mode I'm in.
Question: is there some simple command which clears all definitions
and saves me from the close/restart routine?
Thanks for any clues, Rob

Firefighters spent Father's Day battling three wildfires in rural Utah.
Sunny skies and high temperatures dominated the state Sunday, and hot and dry conditions will rule through the middle of the week, increasing the chance of new wildfires.
Three fires continued to burn out of control Sunday. One fire threatened uninhabited structures on the Tavaputs Plateau in eastern Carbon County.
The Rock Creek Fire, sparked by lightning, burned about 15 miles east of East Carbon and had scarred about 180 acres of steep, rugged terrain. By Sunday afternoon, the blaze was 5 percent contained.
Meanwhile, two fires burning in the Manti-La Sal National Forest continued to rage. The Dark Canyon Fire had burned 215 acres in the Dark Canyon Wilderness. It continued to grow rapidly, and a helicopter crew was monitoring its spread, fire officials said.
To the northeast, the Lackey Fan Fire continued to burn about 3 miles northwest of La Sal. A lightning strike Thursday ignited that blaze, which had burned about 915 acres as of Sunday afternoon. Nine 20-person crews were expected to attack the fire, including help from out of the state.
The Dark Canyon Fire was 5 percent contained and the Lackey Fan Fire was 30 percent contained as of Sunday night.
Also in the Manti-La Sal National Forest, smoke jumpers made progress against smaller fires in the Abajo Mountains at Butts Point, North Long Point and Horse Mountain.

BOSTON, MA - Saturday, May 15, 2010 – The Boston Cannons opened their 2010 campaign by beating the Denver Outlaws 16-13 in front of 9,841 fans Saturday evening at Harvard Stadium. Midfielder Matt Poskay won Bud Light MVP player of the game honors as he ignited the Cannons offense with four goals, four groundballs and one assist.
Boston scored just fifteen seconds into the 2010 season on Kyle Sweeney's unassisted goal to take an early 1-0 lead. Pat Heim, in his first game with Boston, added the second Cannons goal to extend the lead to 2-0. The Outlaws retaliated with consecutive goals by Brendan Loftus and Max Seibald to knot the score at 2. The two teams traded goals before Poskay scored a lunging goal with an assist from behind the net by Ryan Boyle to give the Cannons a 4-3 lead. Seibald answered again by rifling a two point goal to give the Outlaws a 5-4 lead after the first quarter.
Poskay stayed hot in the second, as he tied the score 5-5 when he put back a rebound off of Denver goaltender Jesse Schwartzman. Seibald put Denver back on top 6-5 as he slashed through two Boston defenders to score his third goal of the contest. The Cannons responded with four unanswered goals by Justin Smith, Poskay, Brad Ross (2 pointer) and Greg Downing to open up a 10-6 lead. Seibald, who accounted for four out of six Denver goals in the first half, closed the second quarter with a laser of a goal to bring the score to 10-7 Cannons at the half.
The Cannons opened the second half with consecutive goals by Michael McDonald and Smith. Denver's Nate Watkins and Drew Westervelt returned the favor with two quick goals, only to have the Cannons fire back and reclaim the lead on goals by Kevin Buchanan and Smith to make the score 14-9. The quarter ended with a goal by the Outlaws' Brendan Mundorf wrapping around the net and past the Cannons defense to bring Denver within four.
The final quarter of the contest opened up with Westervelt's second goal of the game as the Cannons looked to hold on to the lead. Wellesley's Mike Stone then scored his first professional goal in his rookie debut as he notched an unassisted score to give Boston the four point advantage. Two consecutive Denver goals brought the game to within two before Poskay capped the scoring with his 99th career goal to give the Cannons a 16-13 victory.
Cannons goalie Kip Turner made 14 saves on 26 shots. Former #1 pick Pat Heim added two goals in his Boston debut. Poskay, playing in his fifth season with the Cannons, was impressed with the team's effort. "We have a really young team and the energy showed tonight, we found some good lanes and got off the ball well. The fresh legs really helped us close out the victory and create some nice opportunities." Boston coach Bill Daye was happy with the victory, but stressed the team has a long way to go. "We played really well and had multiple guys share the ball and get into the action tonight, we have a lot of work to do but you're always going to walk away from a victory with a smile."
The Cannons will return to action when they take on the Chicago Machine at Harvard Stadium on Saturday, May 22 at 7:00 PM.
