AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Maine's first virtual school is getting more time to meet its enrollment requirement.
The Maine Charter School Commission on Tuesday approved extending the enrollment deadline for Maine Connection Academy from June 1 to July 15. The school needs to enroll 243 students before it can open next fall.
John Larouche, an attorney for the virtual academy, tells the Portland Press Herald that it has received 127 commitments to date. He says the school is making swift progress toward opening next school year.
The extension may provide school districts losing funds because their students are moving to the virtual academy less time to adjust their budgets before the new school year.

Giving coffee to children stunts their growth.
Drink tea if you have a cold.
Eat chicken soup if you have any illness.
Food falls on floor, eat it, germs are good for you.
Eat, Eat, Eat, you are thin.
Eat today, who knows about tomorrow.
Always expect the worst in life, then you will not be surprised.
Work, work, work.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Strange how the beautiful people flock together. Even stranger is the number of places in which they choose to converge that close. Bar Room, for instance. The club converted an upstairs space into the Moon Bar, a watering hole especially for the modeling industry. The fabulati came in droves. Unfortunately for owner Chris Paciello, so did the feds. (We all know the story.) Recently sold, Bar Room is shuttered until the fall. On a lighter note was Monday's at Brandt's Break. The quarter beers and live music made it a must-stop for every set of high cheekbones on the Beach. Even though the place closed its doors, the party stayed alive and moved to Señor Frog's, but it's not quite the same. Enter the Living Room, a virtual magnet for every comely person who ever posed in front of a camera. Who knows if it's the Euro trash oozing cash, the distinctive bordello-chic décor, or the intimate back area dubbed the Joy Room that attracts the genetically (and cosmetically) blessed? Whatever the reason the beautiful people keep coming. Whether it's to attend the legendary Wednesday-evening party; the recently imported, hip Sunday-night soirée, Hercules; or one of many bashes hosted by magazines or modeling agencies, the bevy of beauties gliding through the door never seems to end.
This darkly hued downtown oasis is ideal for checking your investments while you quaff some refreshments. Sure it's a national chain with a gimmick: a news ticker. But at least it's an informative gimmick. Sit in air-conditioned elegance while the headlines and stock market updates whiz by on the wall. Somehow it's more exciting than watching television over the massive wooden bar. Steeped in sophistication the Capital Grille bar is cigar-friendly and aurally agreeable: A piano player jams nearby from Tuesday through Saturday. There is no happy hour to attract the boisterous riffraff, though you may get to observe how your neighbor at the bar reacts when he loses his shorts on those technology stocks.
Macabi's began as a retail store with one of the best tobacco selections around, as well as some of the best prices. But last June, after the nationwide cigar boom began to wane, owners Henry Vilar and Arturo Sosa transformed their showroom into a smoke room, complete with high-end liquors and cordials. Now, after picking out a hefty Arturo Fuente Hemingway (at seven dollars, not a bad price) in the walk-in humidor, you can settle into a plush chair, sip a Fonseca port, and depending on the night, enjoy music (Friday is latin jazz, Saturday is often blues) or games (Tuesday night the old-school fumadores gather to play dominoes).
Tucked into the extreme south end of downtown Coral Gables, this unassuming ranch-style edifice next to the Knights of Columbus hall has been called the Crown and Garter as well as the English Crown before its current owners gave it a more prosaic moniker a couple of years back. In its latest incarnation as the Gables Pub, it attracts a youngish crowd (more platform shoes, midriffs, and chain wallets than you'd find at your usual Gables gathering place) with its low-key atmosphere, tasty food, and Bass and Guinness on tap. (It skews a little younger on Wednesday's ladies' night and a little smellier on Thursday, when the rugby players show up.) Two narrow inside rooms and the outdoor concrete courtyard filled with tables make it more of a place to hang out than to pick up or throw down -- unless someone's throwing down her last ficha in one of the pitched domino battles that have been known to break out. One oddity: Despite the fact that the gringo quotient is no higher here than anywhere else in the Gables, the jukebox features a veritable rogues' gallery of the worst and the whitest. (Styx, anyone?) Yet the pub is so otherwise inviting, the patrons don't run screaming for the exits.
There's a saying that given enough time, even the town whore becomes respectable. That adage certainly applies to Tobacco Road, rapidly closing in on a century as one of Miami's most cherished watering holes. Once a notorious den of iniquity, the Road now has a family friendly vibe, or at least the atmosphere of an all-American frat party. Sure you'll still find plenty of cops swarming the premises, but unlike the Prohibition Era, these days they're there as (hopefully off-duty) customers. In fact wander out back to the open-air patio to catch a breeze off the river, and you're likely to come across several city prosecutors settling into a beer and a burger. Of course what draws the consistently packed crowds isn't just the locale, the brew, or the pub chow (solid as it may be); it's the music, which remains both very live and thankfully little more than spit-polished. Gaze upon the walls here and you'll spy framed posters immortalizing past Road gigs by protorocker legends such as John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley, and Junior Wells, even outer-space soul-jazz visionary Sun Ra, all asserting that the "disco sucks" debate is far from over, at least in this joint. Veteran barflies may grouse that the booking policy is a bit less impressive on the talent front these days, but as last November's George Clinton date here proved, heavy hitters still occasionally grace the stage. Moreover Tobacco Road ensures a steady diet of roots-oriented outfits -- local and national, up-and-coming and unknown -- and continues to be a welcome home within which to wail away, providing a solid bet for an unpretentious, relaxed night out. In a city whose nightlife milieu increasingly is given over to tense stargazing, that says something.
Even if the Haitian music scene is dominated by men, Miami's best venue for live shows is powered by women. "The girls are in charge!" declares McArthur's social director Kathy Giddarie. Since March 1999 general manager Vivian Lazarre's female bartending crew has kept crowds of up to 800 compas fans happy. Out-of-town thrillers such as System, Sweet Mickey, and King Posse alternate with local favorites Zenglen and D-Zine on Friday and Sunday nights. Oldies night on Saturdays brings back the bands of yesteryear, from Haitian memory-makers to influential black acts such as the Temptations. Weekly dance contests put the fans in the spotlight. Since all that compas can work up an appetite, the kitchen is stocked with party foods, including conch fritters and the fried pork known as griot. Vive la femme!

The formal operational stage is the fourth and final stage of Piaget's theory of cognitive development. The emerging abstract thought and hypothetical reasoning mark this phase of development.

At this point in development, thinking becomes much more sophisticated and advanced. Kids can think about abstract and theoretical concepts and use logic to come up with creative solutions to problems.

Learn more about some of the essential characteristics and events that take place during this stage of cognitive development.

Characteristics of the Formal Operational Stage

The formal operational stage begins at approximately age twelve and lasts into adulthood.

During this time, people develop the ability to think about abstract concepts.

Skills such as logical thought, deductive reasoning, and systematic planning also emerge during this stage.

How Did Piaget Test Formal Operations?

Piaget tested formal operational thought in a few different ways:

One task involved having children of different ages balance a scale by hooking weights on the each end. To balance the scale, the children needed to understand that both the heaviness of the weights and distancing from the center played a role.

Younger children around the ages of 3 and 5 were unable to complete the task because they did not understand the concept of balance. Seven-year-olds knew that they could adjust the scale by placing weights on each end, but failed to understand that where they put the weights was also important. By age 10, the kids considered location as well as weight but had to arrive at the correct answer using trial-and-error. It wasn't until around age 13 that children could use logic to form a hypothesis about where to place the weights to balance the scale and then complete the task.

In another experiment on formal operational thought, Piaget asked children to imagine where they would want to place a third eye if they had one. Younger children said that they would put the imagined third eye in the middle of their forehead. Older children, however, were able to come up with a variety of creative ideas about where to place this hypothetical eye and various ways the eye could be used. An eye in the middle of one's hand would by useful for looking around corners. An eye at the back of one's head could be helpful for seeing what is happening in the background. Such creative ideas represent the use of abstract and hypothetical thinking, both important indicators of formal operational thought.

Logic

Piaget believed that deductive reasoning became necessary during the formal operational stage. Deductive logic requires the ability to use a general principle to determine a particular outcome. Science and mathematics often require this type of thinking about hypothetical situations and concepts.

Abstract Thought

While children tend to think very concretely and specifically in earlier stages, the ability to think about abstract concepts emerges during the formal operational stage. Instead of relying solely on previous experiences, children begin to consider possible outcomes and consequences of actions. This type of thinking is important in long-term planning.

Problem-Solving

In earlier stages, children used trial-and-error to solve problems. During the formal operational stage, the ability to systematically solve a problem in a logical and methodical way emerges. Children at the formal operational stage of cognitive development are often able to plan quickly an organized approach to solving a problem.

Other Characteristics of the Formal Operational Stage

Piaget believed that what he referred to as "hypothetico-deductive reasoning" was essential at this stage of intellectual development. At this point, teens become capable of thinking about abstract and hypothetical ideas. They often ponder "what-if" type situations and questions and can think about multiple solutions or possible outcomes.

While kids in the previous stage (concrete operations) are very particular in their thoughts, kids in the formal operational stage become increasingly abstract in their thinking. They also develop what is known as metacognition, or the ability to think about their thoughts as well as the ideas of others.

Observations About the Formal Operational Stage

"The formal operational thinker has the ability to consider many different solutions to a problem before acting. This greatly increases efficiency, because the individual can avoid potentially unsuccessful attempts at solving a problem. The formal operational person considers past experiences, present demands, and future consequences in attempting to maximize the success of his or her adaptation to the world."
(Salkind, 2004)

"In the formal operational stage, actual (concrete) objects are no longer required and mental operations can be undertaken 'in the head' using abstract terms. For example, children at this stage can answer questions such as: 'if you can imagine something made up of two quantities, and the whole thing remains the same when one quantity is increased, what happens to the second quantity?' This type of reasoning can be done without thinking about actual objects."
(Brain & Mukherji, 2005)

Southside Virginia in general and the area around Hampden-Sydney College in particular lend themselves to outdoor recreation. Many of our students have grown up camping, hiking, hunting, and shooting. Now they have the opportunity to continue to enjoy that last activity with the Clay Target Club, a recreational club and intercollegiate competitive team.
Though the club has been active since Braxton Elliot '13 resurrected it as a freshman, the team just completed its first year of competition.
He says, "This year we went to two competitions in Dublin, Virginia. One was hosted by Virginia Tech. The other was a new shoot that was started this year, the Virginia Collegiate State Shoot. They invited all of the Virginia colleges and universities. Our goal for next year is to go to the AUCI Nationals in San Antonio, Texas. That will be against just about every college and university in the country with a shooting team. We held off on going this year because we had only a couple of competitions under our belt. We're building a strong team. I think by next year we'll be ready."
Braxton, from Appomattox, grew up hunting and started shooting clay targets when he was 13 years old. Within two years, he was shooting in the Scholastic Clay Target program and competed for the national title in San Antonio. "Our little team from Appomattox, Virginia, won the national competition that year."
When he decided to come to Hampden-Sydney, he knew he wanted to revive the dormant clay target club and to compete on the collegiate level. Part of that meant attracting other shooters with a passion for clay target competition.
"We've got a good mix. Cody Bailey is one of the top shooters. He made the Junior All-American Team in high school, which is an awesome accomplishment. Tucker Bulleit from Kentucky shot with the University of Kentucky's team before he came here, so he has quite a bit of experience. Then we have two or three guys who have fooled around with it, but never had a lot of experience. We also have two avid duck hunters and they are always hunting. I invited them to come down and shoot with us and they've shown a lot of improvement. It's a good mix of guys."
Cody, a rising sophomore, is an avid hunter who grew up in Keysville. He started shooting clay targets in 4-H and quickly moved to the Scholastic Clay Target Program U.S. Team. During high school, Cody began competing in the National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA), as do many of his teammates at Hampden-Sydney. He says, "I was on the road every week traveling to different states. I've been to almost every state in the U.S. and a bunch of different countries."
The NSCA tournament schedule was so demanding that Cody missed 80 days of classes during his junior year of high school. That's serious commitment.
Clay target competition consists of four main categories: skeet, trap, sporting clays, and the relatively new category called five stand. In collegiate competition, teams can have many shooters, but the top five scores are used to tabulate the team's overall score. Because Hampden-Sydney's team is still young, Braxton says they have been able to field only the minimum five-man team in competition, which puts them at a distinct disadvantage against schools like Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia with more than a dozen shooters each. They hope to improve their chances of a good showing at the 2013 national tournament by taking at least seven shooters.
Tucker, also a rising sophomore, says, "The competitive environment is very different from typical sports, such as basketball and football. It's really cool to travel around and see other schools. You meet a lot of people and can spend time talking with everyone. You really get to know the people you're competing against."
Though the Clay Target Club is officially a club, the members are quick to emphasize its two distinct sides: recreational and competitive. Through the help of John Woodard at the College's Buildings and Grounds Department, the club can practice just 10 minutes from campus.
"Having a place so close to campus is great," says Tucker. "Just like golf or tennis or any sport, if you don't practice you don't improve. Now, I can knock out an hour or two a week."
Braxton says, "Having the recreation side is great, too, because we got a lot of guys who come down to grill out some burgers and hot dogs, then shoot and have a good time. A lot of times I'll just go down to watch, and if I see a guy who's just blowing them away I'll invite him to come and try to shoot with the team."
That recreational side also lends itself to the club's plans for a second wing-shooting clinic for students and alumni. "We did one last fall for a fundraiser," says Braxton. "All morning you get skeet instruction. Then we do a quail hunt in the evening. Last year that got a lot of guys interested."
In the meantime, they are staying busy this summer, practicing and going to competitions around the country.
Competing on the collegiate level, they win plaques. On their own, they can win considerable money-potentially thousands of dollars from just one tournament.
This definitely is a lifetime sport and possibly a career. Cody, for one, wants to make enough money at tournaments to support himself. "That's what I did in high school. Instead of having a job, I shot at tournaments. The money I won at one competition would pay for the entry fees to the next competition, and my shells and targets for practice."
For others, the Clay Target Club is a great way to learn something new, make some friends, and have some fun, which sounds a lot like what going to college is all about.

Advertisers Making Few Facebook Friends
Internet users are spending less time on social networking sites. Why? Because they are fed up with excessive advertising; although sites like Facebook and MySpace are still increasing their audience, the average time each user spends on the site is falling overall.
The average MySpace visitor now spends 203.9 minutes on the site each month, while Facebook visitors are logged in for an average 172.1 minutes. Though Facebook has had more 'online buzz', its users appear to be getting bored with the various applications. Meanwhile, MySpace has copied some of the more popular Facebook features, such as a news-type feed covering all events concerning a user's friends. (Source: mashable.com)
As for advertising, it seems the big marketing ambitions of some of the web's most powerful companies are proving less lucrative than anticipated. Although total ad spending on the sites is expected to rise from $1.2 billion to $2.1 billion next year, Business Week quotes several users who've abandoned the sites because there is too much advertising.
Statistics show that social networking users are a particularly poor target for ads. As little as 4 people actually click on the average ad for every 10,000 who see it, a response rate just a fifth of that for websites in general. (Source: businessweek.com)
Google signed a guaranteed $900 million deal to be the exclusive provider of adverts on MySpace, but admits the results are disappointing (There are rumors they have actually lost money on the deal thus far).
It seems sites will either have to switch to results-based ad sales (which means their income will be unpredictable) or do a better job of making sure adverts are targeted to individual users (which could boost the response rate). However, the risk is that making advertising more obtrusive or invasive could make users feel even more jaded about the sites.

So BT has survived the prospect of a devastating strike, for now. Executives will have breathed a huge sigh of relief after the surprise news that legal technicalities – principally concerning the definition of "a workplace" for its mobile workforce – would invalidate a move by its 50,000 engineers and call-centre workers to down tools.
Yet they will know this is just a stay of execution. The market was shut by the time the news emerged and avoiding a strike that could have started next Monday should be well received. Yet the ongoing uncertainty – once again – will dampen much of the enthusiasm.
This is not the only uncertainty facing BT. In February, the pensions regulator voiced "substantial concerns" about its strategy for dealing with a £9bn black hole in its pension fund, pointing out that its timetable for doing so was a lot longer than might be expected.
The pensions issue has long held sway over the company's shares and they dropped 8 per cent after the regulatory uncertainty emerged. There are also doubts about BT's "crown guarantee," introduced when it was privatised, and the company is heading to court to secure the state protection of its pension fund should it go bust. The case is expected to drag on until October.
All this has overshadowed news that BT Vision should finally lift itself off the mat after striking a deal to screen Sky Sports, and BT's global services (GS) business is stronger than it was a year ago. Managers acted to turn around a business that had plunged into the red following a disastrous performance from GS. Cost-cutting was instrumental in returning it to a £1bn profit last year.
Now BT has to avoid stumbling back into a strike that would cause untold damage to its service and reputation. The company is seeking urgent talks with the union and is likely to offer a 5.1 per cent pay rise over two years.
The argument really boils down to one issue: whether BT will go above a 2 per cent pay increase for workers in the first year. So far, it has steadfastly refused to budge, and if it maintains that position, it can prepare for further ballots on industrial action.
BT has already claimed that a national strike would encourage customers to leave BT, leading to job losses at the company.
The CWU is left with the problem of ironing out all the legal issues that BT could bring to stymie the potential strike a second time. Yet talk of setting legal precedents suggests the union is willing to see the process through to the end.

I have not done it yet but who knows when it might happen!
On my way out of work this afternoon I opened the boot with the middle button on the key fob, placed everything in the boot (including my coat) and closed the boot lid.
What would have happened if I had put the key fob in my coat pocket. The boot is locked and the car remains locked also.
Anyone done this yet and come across a solution?

text: Hi all... been ages since on here. Thats a good sign as mine has had no issues at all. However, I do read all the threads... keep it up! I did not get a user manual for the Bose system and I have two very different audio levels: the CD is much louder than the radio so I need to be aware before I switch. Can anyone tell me how to adjust the levels so I do no get a loud shock from radio to CD?

Sling Media has finally come good on promises of an iPhone and iPod touch version of its SlingPlayer client. It's not quite as complete as we might have hoped for, but it's better than nothing.
SlingPlayer Mobile will stream from either a SlingBox Solo or a SlingBox Pro over Wi-Fi only. It's a bit annoying that streaming over the 'net isn't possible as there's no obvious reason why that should be the case. Likewise, owners of an older SlingBox will probably be a little peeved at having to upgrade should they want to use the app - although there are other advantages to the newer devices that might make the trade-up worthwhile.
Nonetheless, if you do have a SlingBox Solo or Pro and an iPod touch or an iPhone and do want to watch TV away from your TV and want to do that in areas with Wi-Fi access available to you then you're all set. SlingPlayer Mobile for the iPhone and iPod touch will set you back £17.99 on the App Store should you be tempted.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Jim!
Blockhead is just totally nuts!
Killing Spree
A stick figure decides to go on a killing spree!
LOLZ ya'll never take me alave geaorge!! BAM!! Fuckin dozey shit lol, good show though
A Zombie Holocaust?
You DO know that the word Holocaust means 'great detruction by fire', right?
which would mean that that Zombies either experienced great destruction by fire (Which is possible) or CAUSED great destruction by fire (Also possible).
yes, I know this was made several years ago. funny video, albeit a bit nasty.
and good point.
love zompbies
lol the zombie survival guid is my favorite book iv read it like 20 times im ready when the zombies come knocking at myh door :D
Some zombie tips: 1) they cant run fast, you can get away in a brisk walk 2) there uber-dumb and have no situational awareness. 3) only destroying the brain kills them decapitating serves the same purpose, but their heads can still bite. 4) zombies are caused by the solanum virus. When you kill one, burn it The virus will be destroyed. 5) Anymore contact me or read "the Zombie Survival Guide" By: Max Brooks. ( I'm just recommending it
Very nice
I loved the style of it, black and white, you had a nice art style going there aswell. And yes, exactly. If I ever kill myself, that gun is NOT going on my mouth. Im putting it directly to my head lmao.
But yeah, great lil' movie. I woulda suggested you add some film grain and stuff like that since it seemed like you were going for a classical look, maybe like some blotches or grainy pixel stuff with a medium transparency..

Facing the Challenge
April 25, 2005,
As the retail landscape continues to evolve, one thing becomes certain — there are increasing challenges in terms of distribution, product development and sourcing.
What is happening is that the extremes between companies like Wal-Mart and Neiman Marcus — and all the others that fall in between — are looking at the same places for inspiration.
And as the global sourcing scenario levels the playing field, it will become ever more difficult to quantify the quality of products at the upper end.
Increasingly, the look of the upper end is being emulated — not necessarily replicated in technique and quality — by more mainstream suppliers and retailers.
Both in New York at the home textiles market and in High Point, N.C., at the International Home Furnishings Market in the past weeks, home textiles products followed similar, but not the exact same, looks and quality constructions.
But it was enough to cause a pause as retailers walked the showrooms and aisles of the open show spaces in terms of what to buy, what quality levels and price points.
And as the confinement/distribution issue becomes as critical as it is today, the elements of product development, innovation, design and forward thinking could well take a back seat in this business.
Even with the Zara's and H&M's in the apparel world snapping at the heels of the fashion and quality leaders, there still is a separation of time and product.
Hopefully the home textiles world will not morph into the lowest common denominator syndrome of marketing.

US Week in Review - Week ending 17 January 2013
The US Week in Review highlights this week's developments and emerging issues in the financial reporting world and gives you direct access to relevant technical accounting guidance and thought leadership produced by Ernst & Young.
Ernst & Young publications
To the Point: FASB proposes more changes to accounting for repurchase agreement
The FASB has proposed accounting for all cash-settled repurchase-to-maturity transactions (i.e., repurchase agreements that terminate on a financial instrument's maturity date) as secured borrowings. The proposal also would eliminate existing guidance for evaluating the accounting for repurchase financings (i.e., a repurchase agreement that relates to a previously transferred financial asset between the same counterparties). Our To the Point publication tells you what you need to know about the proposal.
New Financial Reporting Developments (FRD) on joint ventures
Our new FRD, Joint ventures, is designed to help readers properly identify joint ventures and understand the related accounting issues. This publication addresses the latest guidance and views on the accounting applied by both a joint venture and its venturers for noncash assets contributed at formation.
2012 SEC Comments and Trends life sciences industry supplement
Our life sciences supplement to our SEC Comments and Trends publication is intended to give you insights into the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff's concerns and areas of focus involving life sciences companies.
This publication is based on our review of public comment letters issued to registrants during 2012. It should be read in conjunction with our October 2012 SEC Comments and Trends, which discusses matters that relate to all registrants.
Comment letter on CFTC proposal on enhancing customer protection
In our comment letter on the CFTC's proposal, Enhanced Protections Afforded Customers and Customer Funds Held by Futures Commission Merchants and Derivatives Clearing Organizations, we questioned the need for a requirement that auditors of FCMs be registered with and have undergone an examination by the PCAOB. We also said the proposal that deficiencies noted in such an examination must have been remediated to the satisfaction of the PCAOB within three years of a report would be unworkable. Instead, we recommended that the CFTC consider seeking statutory change to make auditors of FCMs subject to the registration and inspection requirements of the PCAOB or require that auditors of FCMs be registered with and subject to inspection by the PCAOB, similar to the requirement for auditors performing surprise examinations of investment advisers under the SEC's Custody Rule.
Comment letter on COSO's revised internal control framework and compendium of approaches and examples
We support COSO's efforts to update its 1992 Internal Control – Integrated Framework to reflect changes in the business and operating environment and believe the compendium will provide users with helpful guidance. In our comment letter, we expressed our support for COSO's efforts to update and enhance the framework to enable users to better develop, implement and monitor systems of internal control. We also expressed certain concerns and suggested modifications to the Revised Framework and compendium, including, among others, enhancing the guidance related to an organization's assessment of the effectiveness of its internal controls; modifying its definitions of deficiencies and major deficiencies; providing guidance about the precision of management review controls; and providing additional guidance on the application of the Revised Framework to smaller organizations.

Has anyone tried using silicone to attach their ears?
Has anyone tried using silicone to attach their ears?
I havent heard of anyone useing silicon. It would probably work, but there are many better alternatives IMO. Just my 2 cents, but I'm sold on the bolt up method. You can easily remove them if you ever decide to do repaint, and they hold very well.
Hey Phil, What I like to do is use black silicone to fill any of the small gaps left after attaching the earcaps . It works as a great filler, easy to apply and clean up and just adds the the whole weathered look. Just make sure that the silicone is paintable OR wait till you've finished painting before applying it.
Thanks for the input
I am curious when you bolt on the ears do you just drill a hole and tap the resin parts or is there another method?
Heres what I did. tape your ears on where you want them. then trace around the outline. remove your ears. next mark & drill your holes through the bucket, (you should be able to decide where to put the holes by using the outline you drew on earlier. Tape yoour ears back on. Now mark the holes by using a marker-mark from the inside of your bucket onto the ear. remove ears & drill out the holes. Be carefull not to drill too deepp. You will want to cut the heads off of some small bolts to stick into the holes in the ears. Making shure that the cut end of the bolt is inserted into the ear, glue in place with 2 part epoxy or super glue. Your bolts should line up perfectly with the holes in the bucket if you were carefull & marked correctly. stick em on & attach nuts. Don't overtighten. Hope that helps
Great idea, thanks

Feb. 26, 2011
Site: Orlando, Fla. (UCF Softball Complex)
Event: UCF Invitational
Scores: #9 Michigan 4, Missouri-Kansas City 1; #9 Michigan 7, Villanova 2
Records: U-M (14-0), Missouri-Kansas City (9-4), Villanova (4-5)
Next U-M Event: Sunday, Feb. 27 -- vs. Maine - UCF Invitational (Orlando, Fla.), 11 a.m.
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The No. 9-ranked University of Michigan softball team extended its season-opening winning streak to 14 straight games with decisions over Missouri-Kansas City, 4-1, and Villanova, 7-2, on the second day of competition at the UCF Invitational on Saturday (Feb. 26) at the UCF Softball Complex.
The Wolverines earned its most productive hitting from the top of the order as junior centerfielder Bree Evans (Bloomington, Calif./Rialto HS) and freshman leftfielder Nicole Sappingfield (Norco, Calif./Norco HS) tallied four hits apiece, combining for four runs scored and two runs batted in. Sophomore second baseman Ashley Lane (Escondido, Calif./Escondido HS) and senior rightfielder Alycia Ryan (Morristown, N.J./Morristown HS) provided the power with a pair of three-run home runs.
Senior RHP Jordan Taylor (Valencia, Calif./Valencia HS) improved to 7-0 on the season with a solid complete-game effort against UMKC, striking out six while allowing two hits and a walk. Sophomore RHP Stephanie Speierman (Columbia, Md./Hammond HS) earned the victory against Villanova, improving to 7-0, allowing two hits and three walks and striking out four through five innings of work. Entering in relief against the Wildcats in the nightcap, Taylor struck out four of seven batters face en route to her third save of the season.
Michigan scored two runs apiece in the first and second innings to build a significant early advantage against Villanova. Evans and Sappingfield opened the contest with back-to-back base hits, using a leadoff double and subsequent run-scoring single up the middle. U-M used three walks to add its second tally; freshman catcher Caitlin Blanchard (Petersburg, Mich./Summerfield HS) earned the RBI with her bases-loaded base on balls.
The Wolverines opened the second frame in similar fashion, stringing together three consecutive singles from sophomore shortstop Amy Knapp (St. Joseph, Mich./Lakeshore HS), Evans and Sappingfield, who notched her second RBI of the contest with a gapper to the right side. Two batters later, after a Villanova double play, junior catcher Amanda Chidester (Allen Park, Mich./Cabrini HS) smacked a double to right centerfield to score Evans from third.
The Wildcats spoiled Speierman's shutout bid in the sixth inning when centerfielder Jamie O'Hara accepted a leadoff walk, advanced on a steal and a wild pitch before coming home on pitcher Molly Manning's RBI single to right center. The run produced the U-M pitching change and after Villanova swiped home on a successful double steal, Taylor removed her team from the jam with a pair of strikeouts and a groundout.
Ryan responded with her three-run homer in the home half of the inning, following leadoff singles from Knapp and Evans with a towering shot over the leftfield fence -- her second home run of the season.
The Wolverines similarly scored the bulk of their runs in the early innings against UMKC, scoring three in the first frame before adding an insurance run in the third. Lane posted her second three-run blast of the weekend to provide U-M the entirety of its first-inning tallies, following a Sappingfield leftfield single and a walk by senior Dorian Shaw (Burke, Va./J.W. Robinson), with a line-drive home run over the fence in straightaway centerfield. With the hit, Lane upped her season home run total to six, earning a share of the team lead in the category.
Shaw, who also boasts six homers on the season, pushed across Michigan's run in the third inning. Evans led off the frame with a leftfield single and moved into scoring position on a groundout, before Shaw sent her home, smacking an RBI double to the rightfield fence.
Like Speierman in the nightcap, Taylor lost her shutout bid in the sixth. With a runner in scoring position after a leadoff walk and subsequent sacrifice, Kangaroo shortstop Kaelene Curry skipped a hard grounder up the middle to drive in her team's lone run. The Wolverine ace retired the next five batters she faced to close out the game.
The Wolverines will wrap up competition at the UCF Invitational tomorrow (Sunday, Feb. 27), squaring off against Maine at 11 a.m. at the UCF Softball Complex.
With its first win of the day, Michigan improved to 2-0 in the all-time series against UMKC. The nightcap marked the first-ever meeting between U-M and Villanova.
Freshman leftfielder Nicole Sappingfield boasts a nine-game hitting streak, dating back to U-M FAU Kick-Off Classic opener against Long Island. Sappingfield has tallied two hits in four of the last five games. She boasts seven multi-hit games on the season.
Senior RHP Jordan Taylor's save against Villanova was the 12th of her collegiate career, adding to her U-M school record in the category.

Starting up New Interface Thursdays
April 9th, 2009 | Published in Google Adwords
You may have heard that we're testing a new interface for AdWords. Many of you are starting to use the new interface, and we want to take time to tell you more about it. So we're starting a series, New Interface Thursdays.
Each week we'll cover some aspect of the new interface, whether it's an in-depth look at some of the new features, tips and tricks, product updates, or announcements.
For this week, we'd like to point you to the new AdWords interface website and highlight what you'll find there. The site has two sections. First, there's a section for videos abut the new interface, including a handful of videos about new features and how these features can help you more effectively manage your account. There's also a video from the AdWords product managers and engineers telling the story behind the new interface:
The other section is the beta resources page. If you're currently using the new interface, you'll find lots of helpful materials like the How to Guide. The interface is still a work in progress so we also have a Known Issues page. The Known Issues pages can suggest possible workarounds and also lets you tell us if you're having a problem.
If you want to try the new interface, but don't have access yet, you can sign up from the new interface website. During the beta, you can switch between old and new interfaces, so you'll still have access to the full range of AdWords tools and reports, if needed.
Finally, if you use Twitter, you can follow @newadwordsui to keep up with the latest news and updates as well as tips and tricks on using the new interface.

In a recent article appearing in the Jakarta Post, a senior prosecutor discussed some recent conversations he had with his son, an aspiring lawyer, about the issue of equal rights in bribery. His son argued since his father took bribes it was only logical and fair for his father to pay a bribe so the son could get a job as a lawyer. His son argued that Indonesia must abide by the rule that if bribes are common, all should pay bribes, but, those taking bribes are honor bound to pay them when they desire something. His son argues that to become wealthy it is less a matter of his skills as a lawyer, and more concerned with his skills in bribery. "You can charge your client," he says, "then distribute the money to the police, prosecutors, judges, the rest goes into your own pocket."
This approach to equal rights is certainly novel and should be investigated. One can only wonder if this principle is really extended throughout Indonesian society will there be laws passed which give money to the poor so they can pay bribes to get good jobs? Think about it, an equal rights movement for equality in paying bribes.

On Monday Microsoft officially launched Windows Phone 7, its latest attempt at a mobile phone operating system. It's a radical departure from previous versions, which were known as Windows Mobile, and also looks and feels different to anything else on the market. Now that we've finally got our hands on some handsets running the OS, here are our thoughts.
Live Tiles
The first thing you'll notice about Windows Phone 7 is its unique home screen. It consists of large square or rectangular blocks arranged in a column, with just two squares or one rectangle on each row. These blocks are called Live Tiles and they're a cross between an icon and a widget, in so much as they primarily act as a link to an application or service, like an icon, but are large and also display live information, like a widget.
So, for instance, the calendar Live Tile when pressed will open the calendar but will also show upcoming appointments on its face. Likewise the picture viewer will, when tapped, open the picture viewer but can also show a particular picture or selection of pictures on its face. As well as links to apps and hubs (which we'll get to in a moment), you can also add Live Tiles that are direct links to individual items in your other apps, so you can have favourite contacts, or albums accessible right from the desktop.
By keeping all the blocks the same size and shape, the interface has a unique uniformity and simplicity compared to the multicoloured and shaped icons and widgets of iOS, WebOS, Android, and the like. The down side is that only a few Live Tiles can fit on-screen at anyone time so, if and when you fill your phone with loads of apps and games, you will either have to scroll up and down a lot to find them on your home screen or work your way through a number of menus to get to them.
Different, also, is the general way you move through the Live Tiles. Instead of multiple separate panes of icons that you slide from left to right (Android does support vertical scrolling but most often it's horizontal) the Windows Phone 7 home screen is a single continuous vertical strip that you keep scrolling down to get to further items. So, by conventional wisdom, you put your favourite items at the top then add other items in order of diminishing importance below. In the brief time we've had with devices so far this hasn't seemed like too much of a hindrance, but again it could frustrate once you've filled your phone with apps and of shortcuts. You can't add folders to alleviate this problem, either.
You can access a more conventional list of apps by swiping left, and thanks to smaller icons you can see more programs onscreen at any one time. As it is a list, though, so you still can't get as many apps onscreen as you can with an icon based interface. Also, pressing the Start button will always return you to the Live Tiles interface.
Customising the home screen is easy as you can just drag and drop items to it and rearrange them as you please. Like the iPhone, the other icons will then sort themselves out afterwards.
The overall feel of the interface is excellent. Tap an icon to open an app and the various squares of the interface fold up and away to reveal the app, leaving you in no doubt that the app is loading, even if it is taking a moment to actually appear. This is a tactic employed by the iPhone to make apps appear loaded before they actually are, which you could construe as being misleading but when it makes for good usability we don't see the problem. Microsoft has also done an excellent job with scrolling round and flicking through menus – they have that same little bounce at the top and bottom that is so beloved of the iPhone, and there's seldom any hint of lag.

Risen (2) Review at PC Gamer
Well, it looks like my news submission to the mods was ignored. PC Gamer reviewed Risen 2 in this month's issue, and it was a particularly bad review. This Rich McCormick has a running history of bad reviews. Keep that in mind when he writes anything in the future.
Funniest thing, the table of contents listed the article as "Risen" without the "2". Most perturbing is that they've dropped all the columnists, which to me was the best part of the magazine, it's heart and soul. If they are doing this to cut costs, when they switched to thicker paper stock, they going about it the wrong way. I wouldn't be surprised if PC Gamer bites the dust soon due to its poor management.
They seem to be merging the UK and US editions, since Rich McCormick is a writer for the UK edition, he gave the first game 65.
Yeah, they are merging. Another sign of decline, I suppose…
The actual review doesn't seem as bad as the score he gave it.
It certainly doesn't give him any credibility in my eyes though. There's no flippin way Risen 2 is a 61/100, and this same guy evidently scored Dragon Age 2 94/100.
This isn't a new review either.. it's dated May 4th.
It just appeared in print this week in the US edition. Probably was borrowed from the UK edition.
Used to be such a great mag too way back when :(
Atleast Jim Rossignol is still doing reviews for RPS.
