While scouting earlier in the week, Texas Tech defensive coordinator Art Kaufman watched film of about 230 Kansas plays. He only remembers four or five of them being speed-options — the plays that burned TTU for the biggest yardage Saturday. By Jesse Newell
With life on the road being awfully unkind to the Kansas University football program during the past few seasons, KU coach Charlie Weis altered KU's travel plans this week in hopes of fielding a more focused football team during Saturday's game against Texas Tech.
KU coach Charlie Weis talks after his team's 41-34 double-overtime loss to Texas Tech on Nov. 10, 2012.
How did an undermanned Kansas football team push Texas Tech beyond regulation? Journal-World sports editor Tom Keegan says the Jayhawks were prepared to play, and a lot of the credit for that has to go to the man at the top.
The Kansas football team rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to tie it, but No. 22 Texas Tech's offense came through when it mattered most in a 41-34, double-overtime victory over KU on Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas.
After TTU's Ryan Bustin missed a 41-yard field goal that would have won the game at the end of regulation, the two teams traded TDs in the first OT before Darrin Moore caught a three-yard TD pass in the second OT.
KU couldn't answer, rushing for one yard on three running plays before a desperation pass was knocked down in the end zone on fourth down.
The Jayhawks (1-9, 0-7 Big 12) lost despite rushing for 390 yards. That included 16 carries for 202 yards from Tony Pierson and 30 carries for 127 yards from James Sims, who had three combined touchdowns.
The junior Sims also set a new KU record, posting his sixth straight 100-yard rushing game.
Michael Cummings finished 6-for-15 passing for 29 yards and two TDs.
KU will play host to Iowa State at 6 p.m. on Nov. 17.
Candidates for Game Balls & Gassers
Game Balls
• Tony Pierson rushed for a career-high 202 yards on 16 carries, more than half of the yardage coming on two carries, one for 69 yards, another for 49 yards.
• James Sims set a school record with a sixth-consecutive 100-yard rushing game, turning 30 carries into 129 yards and two touchdowns. He scored a third touchdown on a five-yard reception.
• Tyler Patmon had his man covered in the back of the end zone and continued to look directly at the man instead of seeing the ball on a play in which he could have gotten a hand on it or even intercepted. It went for a touchdown. It was one of several key plays on which Patmon was burned.
• The wide receivers as a unit combined for one catch and two yards. Ten games into the season, no wide receiver has caught a touchdown pass.
First Quarter
11:40 - Jakeem Grant 9 pass from Seth Doege. Ryan Bustin kick. After receiving the opening kickoff, Doege ripped off six straight completions and later converted a fourth-and-seven situation to get the Red Raiders on the board in a hurry. The game's first scoring drive covered 75 yards in 11 plays and 3:20. (TTU 7, KU 0).
7:48 - James Sims 6 run. Nick Prolago kick. KU answered Tech's opening drive of nearly all passes with a drive of all runs. Sims carried six times for 48 yards and Tony Pierson added a key 13-yard pick-up on third down. The drive covered 63 yards in eight plays and 3:52. (TTU 7, KU 7).
Second Quarter
14:55 - Tyson Williams 16 pass from Doege. Bustin kick. After back-to-back punts on drives two and three, Tech broke through for another touchdown when Doege found Williams standing in the back of the end zone. As he waited for the ball to come to him, KU's Tyler Patmon stood with his back to the play and did nothing as the ball landed in Williams' arms. The drive covered 54 yards in five plays and 1:53. (TTU 14, KU 7).
12:20 - Darrin Moore 6 pass from Doege. Bustin kick. Three more plays, three more passes for Texas Tech, which added to its lead with a three-play, 57-yard drive that took just 1:03 and ended with another Doege touchdown pass. (TTU 21, KU 7).
5:30 - Brandon Bourbon 10 pass from Michael Cummings. Prolago kick. An interception by Bradley McDougald set the Jayhawks up at the Tech 39 yard line. Five plays later, Cummings hit Bourbon in the flat on a rollout. The drive featured three runs by Tony Pierson, a key personal foul penalty on the Red Raiders and went 39 yards in five plays and 1:37. (TTU 21, KU 14).
0:03 - Nick Prolago 22 field goal. KU's defense held strong again and the offense responded with an 11-play, 74-yard drive that took 3:41 and featured a 49-yard run from Tony Pierson to set up the score. KU took three shots to the end zone in the final five plays of the first half, but two to Tre' Parmalee fell incomplete and a pass to Sims at the 2 was a little behind him and dropped. (TTU 21, KU 17).
Third Quarter
0:28 - Ryan Bustin 29 field goal. Despite giving up points on Texas Tech's final drive of the third quarter, the KU defense did just enough to stay in it, holding the Red Raiders to a field goal after facing first and goal at the eight yard line. The key play on the drive was a 29-yard wide receiver pass from Austin Zouzalik to Doege. Doege appeared to fumble on the play, but the review showed his knee was down before the ball came out. The drive covered 71 yards in nine plays and 3:03. (TTU 24, KU 17).
Fourth Quarter
10:12 - Bustin 27 field goal. The Red Raiders opened up a two-score lead with a 12-play, 59-yard drive that took 3:45 but again fell short of the end zone. The drive, which featured five quick throws from Doege resembled Tech's opening scroing drive of the day until the Red Raiders got into the red zone and the KU defense stiffened. (TTU 27, KU 17).
8:59 - James Sims 3 run. Prolago kick. KU responded to its first double-digit deficit since the first quarter with a three-play, 72-yard scoring drive that featured a 69-yard sprint from Pierson on the first play of the drive. Earlier in the day, Pierson ripped off a 49-yard run. (TTU 27, KU 24).
0:41 - Prolago 32 field goal. After stopping the Red Raiders on a fourth-and-three inside the red zone, KU's offense tied the game with a nine-play, 75-yard march that took 4:11 and featured a fourth-down run from quarterback Michael Cummings that picked up 44 yards and set up the game-tying kick. Sims also ran for 30 yards on the drive. (TTU 27, KU 27).
15:00 - Sims 5 pass from Cummings. Prolago kick. After Texas Tech's attempt at a game-winning field goal in regulation sailed wide, the Jayhawks struck first in overtime. Pierson, who finished with more than 200 yards rushing, set up the score with an 18-yard option run. The drive covered 25 yards yards in four plays. (KU 34, TTU 27).
15:00 - Eric Stephens 1 run. Bustin kick. KU forced the Red Raiders into a third-and-long situation on their first drive, but Doege hit Eric Stephens with a 24-yard pass to the one yard line to set up Stephens' TD run on the direct snap. The drive covered 25 yars in four plays. (KU 34, TTU 34).
Double Overtime
15:00 - Darrin Moore 3 pass from Stephens. Bustin kick. Tech got the first crack at points in the second overtime and marched to a touchdown in four plays. Stephens again took the direct snap and, after faking the run, flipped a pass over the top of the defense to Moore. (TTU 41, KU 34).

A St. Louis company's plan to renovate the former Oxford building in downtown Commerce into apartment units suffered a major setback Monday night when the Commerce Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the city council deny the company's rezoning request.
JES Holdings, doing business as Residents of Oxford Mills LP, sought to have the 2.69-acre tract rezoned from central business district to R-5 (multi-family housing) as a first step in the project. The Commerce City Council will vote on the request at its April 21 meeting at 6 p.m. in the Commerce Room of the Commerce Civic center. Its plan is to renovate the former sewing plant building —which is owned by the city — into 36 one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments and build 24 townhouse apartments on the back side — all designated as "affordable housing."
And that appeared to be the rub.
The units would rent at rates from $455 to $595 per month and would be available only to people making 50-60 percent of the county's median income of $61,000. According to Jim Markel of JES, a one-person household making $25,860 or less could qualify for residency. The income limits, he said, are set by the Internal Revenue Service and are tied to the tax credits.
In addition to the rezoning, JES Holdings must get a variance in the zoning ordinance to greatly increase the density of units, a move the planning panel appears to see as a bad precedent.
Chairman Joe Leffew worried about what might follow the JES project.
"We would basically be changing our ordinance and regulations, going from four units an acre to almost 30," he said. "If this happened, any of the properties downtown could follow suit and we would wind up with a downtown that is basically residential."
"Personally, I don't think it's a right fit for downtown Commerce now," said member Adam Fouche.
Fouche made the motion to recommend that the city council deny the application. It passed without dissent.

The dramatic advances in modern fluorophore technology are exemplified by the Alexa Fluor dyes introduced by Molecular Probes (Alexa Fluor is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes). These sulfonated rhodamine derivatives exhibit higher quantum yields for more intense fluorescence emission than spectrally similar probes, and have several additional improved features, including enhanced photostability, absorption spectra matched to common laser lines, pH insensitivity, and a high degree of water solubility. In fact, the resistance to photobleaching of Alexa Fluor dyes is so dramatic that even when subjected to irradiation by high-intensity laser sources, fluorescence intensity remains stable for relatively long periods of time in the absence of antifade reagents. This feature enables the water soluble Alexa Fluor probes to be readily utilized for both live-cell and tissue section investigations, as well as in traditional fixed preparations.
Rat thoracic aorta cells in culture (illustrated above) were immunofluorescently labeled with mouse anti-alpha-tubulin primary antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse secondary antibodies conjugated to Alexa Fluor 568. In addition, the specimen was stained with Alexa Fluor 350 conjugated to phalloidin and SYTOX Green, targeting the filamentous actin network and nuclei, respectively. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

You have to be extremely careful when uninstalling crossover, because generally, it will always remove all your bottles of all your applications. This means if you have an Office or Picasa or some other installations, they will silently completely disappear.
There are only limited options:
a) Install/Uninstall via your package manager, e.g. the Debian .deb package.
b) Save the installed applications via Archive or moving the .cxoffice directory from your home directory to another location and name.
c.) Remove crossover manually with: rm -rf /opt/cxoffice.
Do NOT simply use /opt/cxoffice/uninstall, as it will remove all your custom installations wihout warning.
There really are no other options. I've contacted support and all they did was point me to this link.

This very green manicure also has a bit of yellow in it and it was very sparkly and awesome, if my memory serves me correctly. I didn't layer it over any other polish, it's about 3-4 coats over Nicole by OPI: Brilliant Idea.
I love how there's a random smattering of darker and lighter glitters, giving the polish a depth like most Lynnderellas have, along with the glitter shapes! Square, hexagonal, bar, etc. It was also a very hungry glitter and needed more topcoat, haha.

I didn't think there was anything I didn't know about Andrew, he's pretty much an open book, I thought I could predict his behavior in any given situation after having lived with him over 14 years now.
Saturday night I learned something new.
Grace came home at eleven from a babysitting job and came up to our room to check in. Andrew and I were reading on the bed and I asked her how her job had gone.
"Fine. Except I had a hard time with dinner."
"What do you mean?"
"Well I ate dinner with the kids before their parents left and they had spaghetti and meatballs."
"What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing, except they had beans."
"But you're okay with beans aren't you?"
"Yeeeesss . . . but these weren't regular beans. They were from a can with that leafy green guy on the front."
Now I must stop here and explain that I've always had a problem with canned vegetables. Fresh, frozen, fricaseed, whatever but not canned--no vegetable should ever be canned. I repeat no vegetable. As my feelings are rather strong in this area my kids have never experienced the joys of wrinkly, grey peas or lifeless strings of what had once been beans.
I still have nightmares about coming home from school as a child and finding String Bean Casserole bubbling away in the oven--you know, that one with the Cream of Mushroom soup and canned string beans with crunchy somethings on top? And a note here in my mother's defense. She's a brilliant cook who is amazing in the kitchen, but she cooks very differently now than she did 30 years ago when she had less experience and money for groceries. Back then she wasn't the gourmet she is today and occasionally we had the dreaded S.B. Casserole.
If I was ever a contestant on Fear Factor this would be the thing they'd pull out to stump me. Cockroaches? Cow intestines? No problem, but I'd never make it past the S.B. Casserole.
But I digress. My kids know so little about canned vegetables that the Jolly Green Giant has been reduced to the "Leafy Green Guy." To continue with the conversation:
"So did you eat the green beans?"
"Yes, but they were horrible."
I nodded my head in agreement, completely understanding her pain. But this is the point where the conversation hopped tracks into a parallel universe. Andrew put down his book, looked up and said, "I like canned beans. They're good."
This simple statement from the man who won't look at a mushroom, who once told a woman he was allergic to tomatoes just to avoid tomato soup, who had never tried cream cheese until he'd met me, who picks through his dinner like he's the world's greatest archeologist on a dig LIKED CANNED GREEN BEANS? I mean they're not even legitimately green, more grey really.
My jaw went slightly slack as I stared. But wait, folks, there's more.
"Yea," he continued, "They're really good. When I was a kid I used to eat them cold out of the can." He picked his book back up and disappeared behind it as he said, "Then I'd drink the juice."
"WHAT?" I couldn't help myself. "You DRANK the Green Bean Juice?"
"Yea!" He'd gone back to his book as if it was the most natural beverage in the world, "It was good."
Grace and I were open-mouthed-staring-couldn't-believe-it. What does one say after that kind of a disclosure? If he'd told me he'd been raised by wolves it wouldn't have been more astounding. You think you know someone . . .
P.S. I guess it could be worse. When Andrew was out of law school he clerked for Judge Souter (no, not that Judge Souter) and the judge used to bring bananas to the office for a snack. Big deal you say? Well he would wait until the bananas were so black they had liquified inside their peels, then he would stick a straw in the top and slurp out the guts. Yes, we still talk about it.

That banana business is gross.
My husband likes Green Bean Casserole. I hate it and always have. Every now and again I'll make the casserole and Stovetop Stuffing and it'll just make his day. I couldn't do it for years while I was pregnant or nursing b/c the smell of it made me gag. I don't use canned veggies though. But still, it's gross.
- Damselfly said...
Oh. yuck. "Ho, ho, ho," jingle and all.
It's interesting to note how people's cooking styles change over the years, like your mother's. And mine. When I was growing up, a meatloaf was ground beef with ketchup sploshed on top of it, baked in the oven. Uck.
- Feroz said...
nice blog! really liked it N i really like to read your blog n i would like to do link exchange with ya blog . mine blog link below plz check out if you thinks its suits for ur blog let me know by email …
My Blog is Something Very Beautifull
Thx in Advance

I know what you mean about the color being grey instead of green. Something's just not right. I come from a proud family of corn snobs myself. We usually ate frozen, or better yet, fresh on the cob from grandpa's farm -- complete with the occasional worm or two. I still think corn is supposed to be yellow, not pale brown. And that school lunch corn? Ick.
- Lauren said...
Okay, the banana, nasssty.
The green bean juice? Oh man!!! It's like you don't even know the man! ~laughs~
~whispers~ I used to drink the pickle juice out of the jar once all the pickles were gone.
- Ni Yachen said...
I love canned green beans. Maybe it is a guy thing. All of my boys like green beans.
The only thing I have ever eaten that makes me really sick is beef stroganoff. Not the good stuff made from beef strips and rice, but ground beef, canned mushroom soup, and egg noodles. I would dread my parents going out of town because it seemed the only thing my sisters could make.
- scribbit said...
Okay I'm highly suspicious of that last comment, is that you lurking out there Dan? I can't believe there's another Chinese-speaking, beef stroganoff-hating green-bean eating man alive who'd post a comment.
- Anonymous said...
Recipe: Chill brand name green beans in the can (make sure the beans are still actually green). Tear fresh, crisp greens fresh tomatos, slice green onions, add chilled green beans, top with a good quality vinagrette. Yum!!! That's where Andrew learned to like green beans. No green bean casserole ever tainted the M's oven. MOMM XOXOXO
- Margo said...
I so understand how you feel about canned veggies. I can't even bear the smell of them. And my 11-year-old sister in law slurps artichokes and asparagus from a can and - drinks the juice. She's a good kid, but also, apparently, a bit of a freak.
Thanks for coming by :)
- Jenny said...
My VERY picky husband informed me one day that he liked peanut butter and cheese sandwhiches, and if that wasn't bad enough, that he even liked peanut butter and cream cheese! EWWWW! This from a man who doesn't eat any fruits or vegetables save orange juice and lettuce drowned in ranch dressing.
- The Freelance Cynic said...
Did the husbands of the green beans involved know your husband was drinking their juices
- Michemily said...
I know this post is super old, but I just had to ask: do you like canned fruit? I like fruit no matter how it comes, except for bananas, especially when they're black and slurpable.

Boucher, Joan (ca. 1490-1550)
Joan (Jane) Boucher (Bocher, also called Johanna of Kent), was sentenced to die at the stake in London as a follower of Melchior Hoffman. The 12-year-old King Edward at first refused to sign the death warrant, but Archbishop Thomas Cranmer pressed him so long with the suggestion that she should be punished with death for her heresy according to the law of Moses that he finally yielded. He is said to have told Cranmer with tears, "Cranmer, I will sign the verdict at your risk and responsibility before God's judgment throne." Cranmer was deeply impressed, and he tried once more to induce her to recant; but she persisted and suffered death by fire on 2 May 1550 (Mennonitisches Lexikon erroneously 1549). Seven years later Cranmer suffered the same death.

OEMplus A4
Josh Segelson from OEMplus always wanted his Audi A4 2.0T to be quattro. So while it was neatly modded in et 11/11, FWD prevented him from adding the huge power he desired.
Using the OEMplus installation bay at work, the staff have replaced the rear subframe and gas tank to accommodate the AWD transmission, axles and ABS sensors. He also gave it an OEM touch by updating the interior trim to quattro spec and rewiring the gas gauge for the new high-flow pump.
The engine was built to handle up to 35psi from the GT3070R turbo by employing lightened rods and pistons from Integrated Engineering, with ARP head studs securing the ported head. The new set-up uses a Spec stage 3+ clutch and 034Motorsport flywheel.
To stop the A4's estimated 400hp, it will have Audi R8 brakes up front, covered by a set of candy-painted 19" Rotiform NEU wheels at all four corners.
Josh is planning to wrap the bodywork for the upcoming show season, so check out the OEMplus YouTube channel for time-lapse videos of the progress.
242.4mph Audi S4
Jeff Gerner at Four Ring Performance Engineering has been developing his '93 Audi S4 to blast down the Bonneville Salt Flats with the aim of breaking the 224mph F Production Supercharged Class record.
At his recent attempt, the Garmin GPS revealed a terminal speed of 250mph on the qualifying run before the engine blew. However, further review of the data showed that the GPS wasn't anticipating the impact of the parachute being deployed and it calculated the 7mph spike in the wrong direction!
Motivated to grasp the record, the S4's five-cylinder 20v turbo engine was dismantled in Four Ring's shop. Jeff worked with ATI Performance Products to design a custom crankshaft balancer hub that has an integral drive for the timing belt. An ATI Super Damper will also be employed to control the crankshaft's torsional vibrations associated with 1000hp at 10,000rpm.
The next task is to fabricate a dry-sump system that will be built into the 0.5" block girdle. This was something Jeff knew he should have done years ago to add more power and ensure better durability. The sump will also have a windage tray built from directional mesh to further deter oil splashback.
Jeff plans to engineer more parts before the final assembly. So check on his progress next month for more details of his record-breaker build.

I think you'll be waiting for a long, long time. The game is always being updated too, so there isn't really a final product to wait for.Just get in there and make stuff, you can do so much even at this stage. Plus the price will go up soon too.

The FCC is going to look into the ban on unlocking phones. The ban, which came into effect on January 26 of this year, made it illegal to unlock an on-contract device for use on another carrier. Citing concerns over innovations, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said that the commission would be looking into the matter. According to TechCrunch:
Genachowski isn't sure what authority he has, but if he finds any, given the tone of the conversation, it's likely he will exert his influence to reverse the decision. "It's something that we will look at at the FCC to see if we can and should enable consumers to use unlocked phones."
The illegality of unlocking phones benefits carriers by keeping you locked into your contract. Of course, you can still pay an early termination fee, but now you have to get a new device when you move to a new carrier. This increases the hassle of the switching process, which carriers already make as hard as possible. Expect the carriers to fight back, because anything that makes it even a little easier for a customer to take their money elsewhere is a threat to their bottom line.
Are you glad that the FCC is investigating? Have you ever unlocked or considered unlocking your phone?

One list has four sports cars and six trucks. The other list has nine small vehicles and one sedan. You don't need to be a "Jeopardy!" contestant to figure out which list is for men and which list is for women.
Edmunds.com found this out when it compiled top-10 lists of the vehicles in the Los Angeles area with the highest percentages of male and female ownership. Using new-vehicle registrations for 2012, the website was able to determine which cars and trucks were most likely to be owned by men and women.
The data aren't perfect, Edmunds points out. Because the lists were gleaned from registrations, a husband registering his wife's car in his name would be counted as a "male car." But the information isn't a sample, and includes all vehicles registered in L.A. in 2012.
Photos: L.A.'s vehicles most likely to be owned by men and women
The data reveal some interesting tidbits.
The car most likely to be registered to a man? The Chevrolet Corvette, then in its final year of production before the new C7 broke cover in Detroit. Seventy-six percent of Corvettes registered in L.A. in 2012 were registered by a man.
Meanwhile, the car skewing most to female buyers in 2012 was the Volkswagen Beetle, with 50%. This can't come as welcome news to VW, as the latest version of this Beetle was explicitly designed to lure more men.
Every vehicle with a high percentage of male ownership is either a truck or a sports car. The vehicles more likely to skew male are also predominantly American brands; just three of those top 10 vehicles come from foreign automakers.
This contrasts with the vehicles with high female ownership percentages; not one American brand is among the top 10.
The vehicles preferred by women also have a lower base price than do the vehicles with high male ownership rates.
Here's how the lists pan out, with the percentage of male and female ownership next to each vehicle. Is your car on the list?
Most male drivers in L.A.:
1. Chevrolet Corvette: 76%
2. Dodge Ram: 74%
3. Honda Ridgeline: 71%
4. Chevrolet Avalanche: 68%
5. Porsche 911: 68%
6. GMC Sierra: 67%
Ford Mustang: 67%
8. Toyota Tacoma: 67%
9. Dodge Challenger: 67%
10: Chevrolet Silverado: 67%
Most female drivers in L.A.:
1. Volksw0agen Beetle: 50%
2. Nissan Rogue: 49%
3. Scion XD: 48%
4. Volkswagen Tiguan: 46%
5. Lexus IS: 46%
6. Kia Sportage: 46%
7. Hyundai Tucson: 46%
8. Mini Cooper: 46%
9: Nissan Sentra: 46%
10: Nissan Juke: 46%

The 2012 All-Ireland champions Donegal lead the way with eight awards on this year's GAA GPA All-Stars awards, sponsored by Opel.
The county's outstanding campaign sees them represented in every line of the field.
Beaten All-Ireland finalists Mayo have been awarded four and there are also positions for Cork (2), and Dublin (1).
There are 10 first time winners in this year's selection as Paul Durcan, Ger Cafferkey, Keith Higgins, Lee Keegan, Frank McGlynn, Neil Gallagher, Mark McHugh, Michael Murphy, Colm McFadden and Colm O'Neill are all included.
Donegal's haul sees them beat their previous best of seven back in 1992 when the father and uncle of Mark McHugh, Martin and James, were both selected.
The McHugh father and son combination sees the family join an illustrious band of father/son recipients which includes Liam/Kevin O'Neill, Pat/Paddy Reynolds, Dermot/Dermot Earley, Frank/Brian McGuigan, Bernard/Alan and Bernard Brogan, Tim/Tadhg Kennelly.
Uachtarán Chumann Lúthchleas Gael Liam Ó Néill lauded the efforts of those who made the final cut and congratulated them on the achievement.
He said: "After the honor of winning an All-Ireland medal I know how much store our players place on winning these awards. They acknowledge individual excellence and are accolades that are cherished long after playing days end.
"I heartily congratulate those who have made the selection and I hope it inspires them to challenge for future honors both as individuals but also as team players.
"A special word of thanks is also due to Dessie Farrell and the GPA as this joint scheme in its second year continues to go from strength to strength.
"Thanks also to Opel and their Ireland MD Dave Sheeran and our selection panels which is comprised of journalists."
GPA Chief Executive Officer Dessie Farrell added: "Congratulations to the 15 footballers chosen on this year's GAA GPA All-Star team sponsored by Opel.
"While players understand the importance of the collective effort of a team it is nonetheless a very prestigious honor for the individual footballer to be recognised for his consistent contribution to that effort during the season. Unsurprisingly the selection is dominated by Donegal after their extraordinary year which yielded the county's second All-Ireland in most impressive fashion.
"I'd like to thank our sponsors Opel and in particular MD of Opel Ireland, Dave Sheeran, for his generous support of the awards scheme. Thanks also to Liam Ó Néill, Páraic Duffy and the GAA for their efforts in ensuring the continued success of the GAA GPA All-Stars.
"Also thanks to the committee of journalists for carrying out the difficult work of selecting the 2012 Football Team and for putting forward the nominees for the Player of the Year awards which will be chosen by the players and announced on tomorrow night's (Friday) live broadcast on RTÉ television."
Dave Sheeran MD Opel Ireland said: "We in Opel are very proud of our association with Gaelic games and we are absolutely delighted to honour the 2012 GAA GPA All-Star Football All-Stars, sponsored by Opel.
"Congratulations to all 15 footballers on their outstanding performances during the season and for winning this highly valued accolade. We look forward to meeting the team and announcing the All-Star Footballer of the Year at the Awards Gala Night in the Convention Centre Dublin, tomorrow night (Friday)."

These farmers have chiseled out new ways to get products, services and information for their farms. And they are enjoying better pricing, selection and service because of it.
They're informed. They're demanding. They know what they want. And they expect to get it from their ag suppliers. If they don't, they'll buy elsewhere. Nothing personal. Just business.
These are the farmers who, either by the sheer size of their acreage or their technical ingenuity, have shaken up the traditional channels of distribution and witnessed better ways of buying products as suppliers struggle to secure their business.
Lower pricing, wider selection, better service and more access to information are all common story lines in what has been labeled the "golden age of the buyer." And the buyers who have lived it say all farmers will eventually benefit, provided they are willing to make some changes.
Here are six Golden Buyers who have experienced changes in business structure firsthand.
Art Andersen Andersen Farms Badger, SD Operation: Corn and soy-beans in eight counties Buyer type: Price-driven Buying strategy: Demands to work with higher-ups
Art Andersen remembers a time when his family bought seed corn from a neighbor down the road, sold their grain at an elevator a mile away and bought their chemicals and herbicides there, too.
All that has changed. Andersen Farms has grown at a tremendous pace in recent years, now stretching across eight counties in South Dakota. With that growth has come more sophisticated management.
"Buying from the person closest to you was not an efficient system," Andersen reflects. "There were too many people in between us and the company, and too much profit expected and being pulled out. We've just gradually eliminated steps and people and businesses in the processes in the way we buy."
Andersen now only deals directly with higher-level people when making purchases. And he is able to negotiate private individual deals that result in better service and lower prices than what he was getting before.
"We are not going to go to a salesman that goes to a regional district salesman that goes to a company supervisor that goes to a manager," he says. "I'm not going to do that. I'll buy someplace else."
How did he make that transition?
First off, Andersen knows what products he wants. He views his farm as one giant test plot to find out what products work on his farm. He also exchanges information with other growers with large operations like his to see what works for them.
As a result, he no longer has to rely on local salespeople for advice. "That may be the most important aspect in all of this," Andersen says. "We know the product we want. We don't want variety selection advice and some of the common sales pitch information. We don't need that."
Second, Andersen has a minimal need for service because they do most of the work themselves.
"We scout our own fields, know our own weeds, know our own treatment, know the rates, know the application techniques. It is our business to know that," he says.
Third, he is set up to handle and store direct shipments of product any time during the season.
For example, he has facilities to store seed from the time he buys it in February to the time he plants it in May so he doesn't have to buy it at the local elevator and have the elevator hold it.
Andersen says suppliers have targeted him and others like him for sales because they have found they can sell more product with less hassle by dealing directly with only a few large farms.
"They are studying our patterns or methods to figure out how to market to everybody," he says.
"And the smaller guys will benefit very soon from what they are learning from dealing with us."
For example, he says prices may be lower because sales margins will be slimmer. And service may be better, too, as farmers who subscribe to the Internet will have direct access to higher-level people. "The Internet and e-mail are a powerful thing," he says.
Andersen says the new business structure emerging won't be for everyone. "But possibly the guys that it doesn't fit will be forced to operate in a way that does fit."
Don Villwock Edwardsport, IN Operation: 2,500 acres, mostly popcorn Buyer type: Service-driven Buying strategy: Shops locally for 80% of the products he buys
Don Villwock found out early that the cheapest price isn't always the best deal. So he defines himself as a service shopper for 80% of the products he buys.
His suppliers have keyed into that fact and, for the past two to three years, have presented Villwock with more personalized options.
For example, he owns his own sprayer and applies chemicals himself. "We look at safety and drift," Villwock says. "Those are the issues we are concerned about when we apply our own versus if we let the dealer have those liabilities. So they address those with us along with application and mixing techniques."
Villwock also has witnessed better service from his local Pioneer seed dealer as the company strives to provide extensive training for its local sales representatives. "Larger companies' farmer-dealers are evolving into full-time professional seed salesmen that spend quite a bit of time just knowing the product, studying the product and helping me as a producer to buy the right product for my farm," Villwock explains.
These new dealers are able to give better advice because they are exposed to more plot data and agronomic research and many are trained Certified Crop Advisors. For those products that do not require a lot of service, Villwock is willing to take a look at pricing opportunities by buying direct. For example, he recently placed a bid on the Web site XSAg.com for Roundup herbicide for $0.28 versus the $0.33 or $0.36 that dealers in his area were asking.
"I don't expect too much product support from the company, because they are not compensating their fieldmen or retailers for it," he says. "Whereas when I buy from a retailer, for that margin they mark it up, I expect some service."
Mark Schneider Cosby, MO Operation: 100-head dairy and 200-head feeder calves; also grows 300 acres of corn and soybeans Buyer type: Price-driven Buying strategy: Buys direct over the Internet
Like most farmers, Mark Schneider has felt the effects of $4.50 beans and $1.50 corn and has had to struggle to make a profit. What's more, Schneider also raises dairy cows. And he knows he is headed toward one of the worst price slumps for Grade A milk in 25 years.
These conditions have forced Schneider to buy products based on price. For that reason, he has been purchasing directly from the manufacturer whenever he can, and he has been using the Internet to do it.
He says the Internet has expanded his base of suppliers. "No longer are you restricted to your local area because you can go on the Internet," Schneider says. "If you don't see the thing you want to purchase, search for it. Somebody somewhere has got it for sale."
Last year, for instance, he saw an advertisement in a magazine for XSAg.com, an auction Web site for manufacturers, distributors and dealers to sell chemicals, seed and other ag products to farmers nationwide. Schneider used a "reverse auction" feature that allowed him to post the product he wanted to buy and the price he wanted to pay delivered to his farm gate.
Schneider got a response in less than a day from a supplier willing to meet his price, which was 20% less than what was quoted by all three of his local suppliers. "I was excited to see how it was going to work the first time," Schneider says. "And when the chemical showed up on the truck, it was exactly as if I had gone to the local dealer and picked it up."
Schneider also has used the Internet to purchase a corn silage inoculant at a discounted price.
Using the Yahoo search engine, he typed in "silage inoculant." The brand that came up was by CR Hanson. He went to the Web site listed and left his e-mail address and phone number. A few days later a representative contacted him by phone and put him in contact with a dealer in Texas.
The product wound up costing him $0.67/ton versus more than a $1/ton to treat. "They put the order in on a Friday, and UPS pulled in our driveway on 10:00 Tuesday morning, right after Labor Day," Schneider says. "So, with the holiday and weekend, that was pretty good service."
Ken Less Merrill, IA Operation: Grows corn and soybeans in three counties and two different states; also raises hogs Buyer type: Service-driven Buying strategy: Works with high-level service representatives
Service is of utmost importance to buyer Ken Less. Especially now. In the last four years, he has doubled the number of acres he farms. "So I have to depend more on service," Less says. "I can't do it all myself." Suppliers are responding to his need by giving him access to people higher up the management chain. This year, Novartis assigned a district representative to work with him, who Less says is better trained and has more knowledge than local reps. The district representative has met with him twice al-ready this year: the first time to assess his needs, and the second time to come back with hybrid recommendations that would work on high pH soils and cool, wet ground. "He came up with some real good ones that I was kind of impressed with," Less says. "Now I'm supposed to think it over and see if it matches with what my needs were." Implement dealers also are making strides to better serve Less. In the past two years, both Caterpillar and Deere have given him the opportunity to test drive new equipment for more than a day instead of the usual 15-min. test drive.
One product was a John Deere sprayer. Less drove the sprayer for a day, and afterward the dealer asked him what he liked and didn't like. The following year Less bought the sprayer and noticed that many of his suggestions were adopted. He says, "I was kind of impressed that they actually listened to people in the country."
Ken Rulon Rulon Enterprises Cicero, IN Operation: 5,500 acres of corn and soybeans and 600 sows Buyer type: Price-driven, but willing to pay 1 to 2% more to get it locally Buying strategy: Pays 1 to 2% over distributor price
Ken Rulon flashes back to a meeting held last summer in Wisconsin. The president of a well-known chemical company was speaking to a group of growers with large operations. He was explaining that the reason the company could not sell directly to farmers was because trucking issues would be a nightmare.
So Rulon took a quick poll. He counted 172 semis that were owned by the farmers in the room.
"Trucking is not an issue," says Rulon. "We can pick up the product ourselves in St. Louis. We'd have to solve some liability problems. But it is this thinking that we are locked into this way of doing things that is going to have to come tumbling down or the Internet is going to tumble it down."
Rulon is unwilling to settle for the current distribution channel in agriculture. And he is doing his part to change it by arming himself with market intelligence.
He belongs to a peer review group of about 11 Indiana farmers who together represent 70,000 acres. Using e-mail, they exchange prices they are paying for inputs and then leverage that knowledge when dealing with suppliers.
"I know the three or four farmers who are paying the least amount for chemicals in the state," he says. "Every year, I find out what they paid for product. If I pay a few percent more, then I know I'm okay."
As a general rule, Rulon will pay 1 to 2% over the distributor price just to be able to buy the product locally. If he can't get that, he takes his business elsewhere. "What we have told the local people we buy from is that you are going to have to be competitive with direct or we will have to go around you," Rulon says.
Each time he buys product, he sends a request for bids to three or four suppliers and states a deadline for response. He accepts bids only from his list of preferred suppliers. The company that comes back with the lowest bid gets the business.
"We don't nickel and dime them after that," he says. "We try to negotiate with integrity. I don't then take that price and use it to deal with the next dealer."
He has successfully used this strategy to negotiate a deal to buy Pursuit at a deeply discounted price than what local dealers offered. He arranged the deal with a large distribution company that allows him to buy the product on a different price schedule through one of its retail outlets. He says this distribution house is a good example of how a company can adapt to the reality of the marketplace.
"I think the real example will be when a distribution company like Wal-Mart decides to distribute the products of this industry the right way. Where I can dial up Wal-Mart and all the prices are right there. If you want to take 40,000 lbs. of Lorsban, it is $1.45 delivered cash."
Rulon says some company will do just that in the next five years. However, that company will first have to figure out how to manage freight.
"It's just like delivering corn," Rulon says. "Freight is a bigger issue than the price. If you can't drive there in a semi, the price becomes irrelevant because you just can't get there."
Kevin Kimberley H&K Feedlot Ltd. Maxwell, IA Operation: 1,800 acres of corn and soybeans and 200 cattle Buyer type: Information- driven Buying strategy: Attends company informational meetings
Kevin Kimberley is a first-generation farmer who entered farming the hard way. Instead of inheriting the land and machinery he needed to get started, he had to buy it. And he is the first to admit that he doesn't have all the answers.
That is why information is of utmost importance to him. "I think you ask more questions when you come up the tough way, because there's no room for mistakes," he says.
To get those answers, Kimberley surrounds himself with intelligent people who have access to the best information. For example, when shopping for inputs, he bypasses the local salesperson and goes directly to the district representative. How does he do it?
"I'm kind of a demanding person," he explains. "And I usually demand to talk to them. Most people think they are not supposed to. But that is why they are hired. If you have a problem in your cornfield, they may show you what has happened and why it happened. And that is how you learn."
He also attends a lot of specialty meetings hosted by companies. For example, Novartis Crop Protection, Novartis Seeds, ConAgra and Case IH recently selected Kimberley to be a part of an Ag Innovation Group, a group of 90 top farmers from across the country. The farmers meet every quarter to discuss a range of topics, including genetically modified crops, the future of farming, overseas markets and site-specific farming.
"There are several of us who talk on the phone once a month," he says. "We know what is going on all over the U.S. now. We know about deals that are being done." He says the companies hosting the groups also learn a lot. Representatives from each company attend and take notes. They use the information to determine what products and services farmers will need. He says their involvement will help make the whole business of farming work better.
"You have the chemical people in there, the equipment people and the food people, and they are all looking to how we can make this thing more profitable," he says.
"For instance, there can be insulin corn in the future that could go in the middle of Healthy Choice. Vitamin E is a big healer. This could be in your cauliflower, broccoli or in your corn tacos in the future. These are things that aren't that far away."
We asked these Golden Buyers how other farmers can get the same level of pricing, service and information that they have found. Here's what they said:
*Expect to change your process of thinking and buying. For example, you may not be working with local salespeople as much. Art Andersen says, "Your deals are not going to be cut on the kitchen table over a cup of coffee anymore." *Become an attractive buyer to suppliers on your own level, whether it is based on the size and quality of your operation or your professionalism. *Get up to speed on what products you want. Find out what works by doing test plots or networking with other farmers. This reduces your reliance on product selection advice and service from dealers. *Ask to deal with a high-level person at a company who can make the decision about a purchase. *Get set up to handle direct shipments. For example, you may need to put up certified storage facilities to store bulk shipments of product, buy a forklift to receive pallets or buy a sprayer to apply your own chemicals. *Ask to meet one-on-one with a company agronomist to get him or her to talk candidly about what seed or seed and chemical combinations will work best on your farm.nBuy a computer. *Learn to use it. *Get on the Internet. Research the topics that interest you to stay abreast of what is happening in agriculture. *Get on the e-mail lists of other farmers and experts in the field. *Communicate and share information with other farmers. "Large farms freely exchange information with other large farms," Andersen says. "They do not have the paranoia about being able to compete. They're there. They're doing it." *Form your own peer review group with growers who are of similar age and who have similar farms to exchange input pricing information. Then leverage that knowledge base when negotiating product purchases. *Go to specialty meetings attended by other top farmers. *Go to farm shows. Visit the booth that has the product you are interested in. "Tell them you'd like to have someone come and visit," Villwock says. Or ask questions of other farmers who have already bought the product. nCall, write or e-mail your retailers or wholesalers and make it known that you are interested in their products. *Develop a list of preferred suppliers that have a reputation that warrants your trust. *Request competitive quotes from three or four suppliers and give them a deadline for response. *Ask companies to price their products based on the level of service you want. *Take a class on how to negotiate. *Determine what percentage over the distributor price you are willing to pay in order to be able to buy locally. *Don't be afraid to ask stupid questions. *Ask hard questions. *Get up and walk out when negotiating to buy something. "I guarantee you, farmers never do that," Rulon says. "It never happens. But you will probably save 5% right there. But do it with integrity. Do your research to find out if he is price competitive, and if he is, don't do it to him."

On behalf of David Korevaar and myself (Tim Smith), welcome to this study of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. This project was begun over my sabbatical year of 2002-'03 and is ongoing. Dr. Korevaar's sensitive and dazzling interpretations have been its inspiration. Upon hearing his fugues, you'll want to enjoy his many more excellent recordings spanning a wide range of genres and composers. In addition to browsing the links to the left, you will enjoy reading Dr. Korevaar's comments on the performance of the WTC in Character and Counterpoint and my thoughts on teaching with Metaphor, Mystery, and the Music of Bach. Educators planning to use this material may wish to consult the Index of Contrapuntal Operations and Learning Objects. Many of the fugues are paired with quizzes where students may email feedback to instructors.
Selected resources for study of the Well-Tempered Clavier and J. S. Bach

Hinting at slowdown in the economy, the Central Statistical Office (CSO) on Thursday drastically lowered the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth estimate to 5 per cent as against 6.2 per cent for 2011-12.
India's economic growth rate this fiscal is estimated to be sharply lower at 5 per cent, lowest in a decade, on account of poor performance of manufacturing, agriculture and services sector.
"The growth in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) during 2012-13 is estimated at 5 per cent as compared to a growth rate of 6.2 per cent in 2011-12," according to the Advanced Estimates released on Thursday by the CSO.
In 2002-03, the GDP had grown at 4 per cent. Since then the Indian economy has been expanding at over 6 per cent, the highest rate being 9.6 per cent in 2006-07.
CSO's advance estimate lowered the growth in agriculture and allied activities to 1.8 per cent in 2012-13, compared to 3.6 per cent 2011-12.
Manufacturing growth is also expected to drop to 1.9 per cent in this fiscal, from 2.7 per cent last year.
The CSO's GDP growth projection is a lower than the 5.5 per cent forecast made by the Reserve Bank in its quarterly monetary policy review last week.
In its mid-year Economic Review, the government had also estimated growth ranging from 5.7-5.9 per cent. The current estimate is a sharply lower than the 7.6 per cent growth projection for 2012-13 made by government in Budget.
The latest estimate of 5 per cent for the entire fiscal means that the pace of economic expansion has slowed sharply in the second half of 2012-13, given that GDP growth in the April-September period stood at 5.4 per cent.
According to the advance estimates, the services sector including finance, insurance, real estate and business services sectors are likely to grow by 8.6 per cent this fiscal, against 11.7 per cent last fiscal.
However, the growth in the mining and quarrying is likely be slightly better at 0.4 per cent, compared to contraction of growth of 0.6 per cent a year ago.
Growth in construction is also likely to be 5.9 per cent in 2012-13, against 5.6 per cent last year.
According to the CSO's advance estimates, growth in electricity, gas and water production is likely to decline to 4.9 per cent in 2012-13, from 6.5 per cent in 2011-12.
During the current fiscal, the trade, hotel, transport and communication sectors are projected to grow by 5.2 per cent, as against 7 per cent last fiscal.
Community social and personal services growth however would be slightly better at 6.8 per cent, compared to 6 per cent in previous fiscal.
Overall, the 5 per cent growth in the advanced estimates is lower than what experts have been forecasting.
On Wednesady, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had said that the Indian economy would grow by 5.4 per cent in 2012-13, but should pick up to six per cent in next fiscal.
The Indian economy had expanded by 8.4 per cent in both 2010-11 and 2009-10, while growth in 2008-09 was 6.7 per cent.
The advance GDP estimates are released by the CSO before the end of a financial year to enable the government to formulate various estimates for inclusion in the Budget.

One of my favorite things in Henry's nursery is this cross on the Big Board.
It was made by my dear friend Bullen Timo, you may remember him from here or here. With just two semesters left he continues to work so, so, so hard to raise the funds to complete his education. He personally hand made that cross and many more. They are available for purchase and I think they would make excellent gifts- for yourself or others.
These are just some I love, but there are many more and you can also request custom designs.
Hung on a wall, layered in a bookshelf, on top of a coffee table- you name it, they would work.
If you are interested in purchasing one you can go to Bullen's Etsy Shop- imParting Hope. Definitely an amazing purchase for an amazing cause!

Banging on hoods and kicking in fenders

Ex-Porn Star's Viral Call for Sino-Japanese Peace [SFW]

One enduring advantage Japan has enjoyed when facing calls inside China for boycotts of Japanese goods, such as those that could be heard between bouts of egg throwing at protests outside the Japanese embassy in Beijing on Saturday, is the general fondness Chinese consumers have for Japanese brands.
Now one Japanese "brand" with a particularly fervent following in China – former porn star Sola Aoi – has taken it upon herself to try to calm tensions between the two East Asian powers.
With anti-Japanese vitriol turning increasingly violent in China following Japan's announcement that it planned to purchase the disputed Senkaku islands, Ms. Aoi lit up China's social media switchboards on Friday by suggesting in a pair of posts that everyone should just try to get along.
"I hope all of us regular people can have good relations…I am a regular person like all of you. Wounded…" she wrote on her verified account on Sina Corp.'s Weibo microblogging service, attaching an image of hand-painted Chinese characters that read "Japanese-Chinese friendship."
A few minutes later, perhaps thinking twice after an initial flurry of protests from her fans, she posted another image, this time with the characters amended to read "Friendship between Chinese and Japanese people."
At a time when Chinese owners of Toyotas and Hondas are plastering their cars with anti-Japanese messages to avoid having them smashed by unhinged protesters, and when Japanese people have to worry about being assaulted with bowls of ramen noodles while walking Chinese streets, such a plain gesture from a retired adult film actress might not seem particularly noteworthy.
But Ms. Aoi is not your average retired adult film actress. A megastar throughout Asia, she boasts more than 13 million followers on Sina Weibo and is popular enough in China that the country's film and TV regulator singled her out in announcing new restrictions on "vulgar" content in April (to which she responded with a defiant picture of herself in dress).
Ms. Aoi's call for calm has certainly been heard: By Saturday afternoon, the two posts combined had been forwarded more than 110,000 times and attracted more than 150,000 comments – a viral performance even by China's high standards.
How much of her audience got the message is another question.
To be sure, some of the actress's Chinese fans on the site supported her, in many cases by simply forwarding or repeating the call for friendship. Others, however, were more conflicted. "Although I like you and support your work, in the end I am Chinese," one fan wrote in response. "On territorial disputes, I will never back down!"
"I deeply suspect you're a spy," wrote another, perhaps thinking of the Yoshiko Kawashima, a beguiling Manchurian princess who served as a spy for the Japanese during World War II and later became a celebrity in Japanese-occupied parts of China.
Many responded with outrage -- often using language not fit to publish on a family-friendly news website – but an equal number seemed keen to enjoy Ms. Aoi and have their islands, too. "The Diaoyu islands belong to China, Sola Aoi belongs to the entire world," went one commonly repeated refrain.
A group of small, uninhabited islands in the East China Sea, the Senakaku are administered by Japan but claimed by China and Taiwan. In China, they are known as the Diaoyu islands. Tensions over the islands have been rising steadily since April, when Tokyo mayor Shintaro Ishihara first tabled the idea of purchasing some of them from their private owners.
Ms. Aoi was not the only popular microblogger to challenge the convictions of China's Japan-bashers in recent days. In a separate post that has also gone viral on Sina Weibo, commentator Zuoyeben posited a pair of theoretical dilemmas: "If Japanese people attack and there's a Japanese gun on the ground, would you or would you not pick it up and return fire?" he asked, adding another: "Say you have a child, and there are only two types of milk powder – one made in China, the other made in Japan. Which would you chose?"
Responses to that post – like responses to Ms. Aoi's – were passionately mixed, with many forced to admit that the poisoned reputation of Chinese dairy products would make for a difficult choice.
While it's not clear what, if any, impact either of the posts will have in defusing anti-Japanese rhetoric, responses to Ms. Aoi suggest plenty of Internet users have bigger priorities than discussing the latest flare-up over disputed territory.
Take, for example, Sina Weibo user Rubber Demon Fruit, who reacted to Ms. Aoi's diplomatic toe-dip, not with an angry demand that she take a position on the Senkaku, but with a far more fundamental question: "May I ask, when is your new movie coming out?"

Thrift shop find!! :) I'm a watch guy, but couldn't pass this one up! It's slate & marble and weighs about 23 lbs.! LOVE the visible escapement! Works perfectly, except I need to adjust the fork piece that moves against the pedulum to run the escapement- any tips?? >Hard to find info on this one- anyone have any ideas? Best guess is it's ca. 1887-1895 to compete with the French clocks of that period (Google-education only!:)? Also, it's had some resto work on it- possibly including new glass. There are small cracks at the 3, 6, 9 & 12 o'clock positions in the front stone panel directly around the movement seating- possibly tipped over onto the front?? You can see the newer plaster on the inside. Anyway, still looks impressive, works well and the movement looks all original. Comments/questions? Thanks for yuor time!

GraphCalc Version 4.0.1 Released November 24, 2003.
This release fixes two bugs: one critical, one not. The number of decimal points of the output format was not being saved and now it is. Also, there was an error in the calculation of variance and standard deviations. You figure out which was more important.
GraphCalc 0.0.1 for Linux, Released November 12, 2003
Well, no guarantees that I know what I'm doing yet... but here is a semi-stable release of the development I'm doing on GraphCalc for Linux. Please don't even attempt using this unless you are decent at installing software on Linux, as the process is a little tricky. Also, please don't use it for any mission critical applications.

Recently, we have been flooded with emails from people telling us how much they love GraphCalc. We've assembled a handful of their testimonials here.
In January of 1999 GraphCalc started as a project to keep us occupied when we were not busy with other commitments. We have been working hard on it, some say too hard, to make a simple and easy to use graphing calculator for windows that is rich in features.
If the Windows calculator just isn't getting the job done, or you don't want to pay $100 for a little monochrome display handheld calculator, download GraphCalc for free and see for yourself how easy it is to graph an equation or find out what 345.4327 is in binary!
