Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
Or, am I totally misunderstanding you?
(I did just off working 3 12 hours nights in a row).
Hi,A 9.2 receiver will only give you a total of 3 zones.A 5.1 zone(#1) and 2 stereo zones.You could make the 5.1 a stereo zone but you'd be wasting the 2 sub-woofers.Normally you would use the 5.1 for home theatre, 1 stereo zone for the kitchen (hardwired speakers for instance) and another stereo zone.
Being cheap myself ($$$), I would have my home theatre zone and 1 two channel stereo zone. (7.1)I would take the stereo output to a audio distributor (mechnical) which would then be hard wired out to audio volume controls to the stereo speakers in the room or location.The distributor could have X number of outputs on it (you could even use one of those wireless Rocketfish transmitter receivers off the distributor).You could even get one of those newer app controlled audio distributors ($$$), but really, send the output from radio, cd player, MP3 device, etc to the cheaper mechanical device where you can manually turn on the audio areas. Or leave them always on and control them via the audio volume controls.LMCE still controls the receiver but you have to manually intervene on the distributor/volume control side.
I hope that my 2 cents helps (see I am cheap - should be at least 5 cents with inflation).
Nope. thats what I was thinking off. In theory is very easy if you only need one ethernet cable and then can use that to control the device and distribute the audio. I thought that with 9.2 surround devices you can create 4 stereo and one mono channel (for toilet or whatever ;-) ). I tried analog as you suggested using usb but that is to limited in regards to distance. On locations where the amp is close to a core/md hdmi can be used but I want it a bit further away without the need to have a md turned on.tough guy ;-)
The IP connection on a receiver is just that. Any IP based audio services the Receiver can access itself will output audio to any of the onboard audio outputs that can drive speakers - those audio outputs do not go via the RJ45 network connection.
So some kind of streaming server with multichannels is required on the core? Or does something like that already exist? That software can then present itself as multiple output devices on the core (to which squeezeslave/lite can output) and then combine these outputs into one (multichannel) stream that is played by the receiver. Then on the receiver it gets played on the relevant channels since each channel is linked to a speaker.Does that make sense?
I assume, espergu wants to mux the output of multiple squeezeslaves on the core into a single digital stream that gets send out to the AV receiver over HDMI or TOSLINK, and wants the receiver to output the received data into the various output zones.

Having purchased my cute miniature I had to come up with a way to use it. For those that haven't tried it, Disaronno is a brand of amaretto, an almond liqueur. Instantly I started thinking about an almond based cupcake so adapted my orange and almond cupcake recipe by losing the orange and replacing it with liqueur soaked raisins. I do have a fondness for booze soaked raisins and see no reason why they should only feature in Christmas baking.
Mr CC always announces loudly, lest I forget his views on the matter, that the best frosting/buttercream is cream cheese based. Seriously. He says this whenever the subject comes up on cookery shows or in conversation. I get it: he likes cream cheese frosting. All the (not so) subliminal messages must have worked because what's on this cupake? Cream cheese frosting! It works well here as it holds it own against the bold flavour of the cupcake whilst adding another flavour and texture. A lighter buttercream could get lost.
The cupcakes took on a little more colour than I'd normally like due to being overbaked by 3 minutes (which didn't thankfully affect their taste or texture). How can I be so precise? Because I was hoovering and didn't hear the timer; when I did it had been beeping for 3 minutes! That'll teach me for trying to multitask. Kids – don't be like me. Don't hoover and bake; it isn't worth it. This is actually one of the things Mr CC mocks me for over any other: refusing to accept that some items are designed to be mobile. Hence, our cordless phone sits in the base unit and is never anywhere near me when it rings and, why our kitchen timer – with a clip on the back so it can attach to anything – was in the kitchen beeping away while I was hoovering the bedroom. I'd like to say I'd learned my lesson, but.......
While the Disaronno is a dominant ingredient of the cupcake it's worth noting that the entire 18 cucpakes use only one a miniature bottle, so if you're not keen on alcohol please don't be discouraged from this recipe. Also, there is only 1 tablespoon of alcohol that isn't cooked.
The Disaronno plumped up the raisins and made them much juicier, almost like berries. One of my eaters, who didn't know the method for making the cupcake, commented on this; I always think if someone notices without prompting then it must be true!
4 tablespoons amaretto liqueur – I used Disaronno, but you could use rum or brandy if you prefer
225g unsalted butter, at room temperature
225g golden caster sugar
3 eggs
190g plain flour
75g ground almonds
2 teaspoons baking powder
450g icing sugar
200g cream cheese – I used Philadelphia
1 tablespoon amaretto (Disaronno) liqueur

Published 1 year ago on February 7, 2018 By alexrpt 47 Views Share Tweet Formula One has succumb to SJW madness by banning the sexy Grid Girls over SJW objections and whining. What will Formula One do to replace the Grid Girls? How about "Grid Kids." Zerohedge reports… Amid a brave new world of sexual consent forms and rage over the "patriarchy," Formula 1 and its FAI ruling body has decided to ban the use of promotional models, known as "grid girls," from its events because they don't "resonate with [the] brand values [of F1] and clearly is at odds with modern day societal norms." Whose societal norms? Has anyone checked out a college campus lately? Instead of Grid Girls, meet "Grid Kids!" Replacing the Grid Girls will be F1's new "Grid Kids" initiative – which is designed to entice younger fans to "get involved" in the racing sport – despite the fact that the program is only available to children who are already involved in a local motorsport club. The move by F1 follows a similar move by the Professional Darts Corporation which banned walk-on girls from its competitions. Because dart competitions are just as fun without the girls. F1 said in a statement… "The joint initiative will involve the local Grand Prix promoter working alongside ASNs – the FIA-recognised national sporting authorities – who will provide a unique opportunity to youngsters and their families to be part of one of the most exclusive and exciting moments of the whole race weekend." Participants will be chosen by merit or lottery, and will be able to accompany the world's 20 best drivers at every Grand Prix. Fan will no longer see beautiful adult women at the events, but SJW approved Grid Kids. Now unemployed Grid Girls As Brutalist reports that the Grid Girls aren't taking this sitting down… Rebecca Cooper, a five time F1 grid girl, said on Twitter that it is "ridiculous that women who say they are 'fighting for women's rights' are saying what others should and shouldn't do, stopping us from doing a job we love and are proud to do. [It is] political correctness gone mad." Cooper also implied that grid girls have been misrepresented and put together a photograph collage to highlight that women who work in her trade are not "scantily clad furniture" and that the outfits are more modest. So the inevitable has happened, F1 gridgirls have been banned. Ridiculous that women who say they are "fighting for women's rights" are saying what others should and shouldn't do, stopping us from doing a job we love and are proud to do. PC gone mad 😡 #Gridgirls — Rebecca Cooper (@rebeccageldard) January 31, 2018 "Scantily clad furniture", "sexualising women", "provocative", "Id never let my daughter wear a grid girl outfit"… just some of today's comments, yet people clearly haven't dont their research as these are my outfits from my 5 years in F1 #gridgirl #gridgirls pic.twitter.com/etbcCPnCC1 — Rebecca Cooper (@rebeccageldard) January 31, 2018 So what do the people of twitter think? Should there be grid girls in F1? After a lot of debate on my profile over the past 24h I'd like to see what the actual general public think #gridgirl #gridgirls — Rebecca Cooper (@rebeccageldard) February 1, 2018 For Michelle Westby, working as a promotional model in motorsports led to a successful career as a stunt driver and a drift racing driver. Alot of people asking my view on the grid girl ban situation , well check out my page for my view https://t.co/F9CC1g23EI pic.twitter.com/6RRznAXBGE — michelle westby (@michellewestby) February 1, 2018 Westby elaborated over Facebook: If it wasn't for grid work / promotional modelling, I wouldn't be where I am now in a 'male dominated' sport and job as a stunt driver and drift competition driver, inspiring and influencing females into this 'intimidating male environment.' I get girls messaging me all the time saying how I inspire them and made them want to get into racing and drifting when they didn't think they would be accepted… What people don't realise, is that the girls have knowledge of the products and teams they are promotion — that's part of the job. We get a brief on the uniform but it's up to us if we feel comfortable in it. We are more clothed than what teenagers wear down the supermarkets. I'm now retired but to think girls have lost a lot of important income because feminists think they know best, when they really haven't got a clue, is frustrating. Fans and Grid Girls alike took to Twitter to denounce the decision, using the hashtag #Gridgirl Lots of smiles over the years,tell me again how this isn't my choice! #gridgirl #demontweeks #icd #rolex #leyland pic.twitter.com/USrAa1KB8S — Samantha Young (@Sammie_jay25) January 31, 2018 Progressive feminists: ALLOW WOMEN TO ECPRESS THEMSELVES SEXUALLY.

Vote Up0Vote Down ReplyFebruary 7, 2018 21:55 Latest The mainstream media does not want you to think [Video] It is difficult to tell if recent reports like this really represent a realization for the media, but this interview rings true nonetheless. Published 19 hours ago on February 19, 2019 By Seraphim Hanisch Several recent stories on Fox, Breitbart, and here on The Duran all address the increasingly obvious bias of the mainstream media with regard to news reporting. We discussed on The Duran how Chris Wallace of Fox News refused to hear details from White House Senior Policy Adviser Stephen Miller about why the recently declared National Emergency is in fact legitimate. This piece revealed that the media is very actively trying to control and direct what information they want the public to hear, rather than truly reporting the news, or interviewing people to get their takes on things, and to perhaps fully interview all sides in a controversy and then let the American public decide for themselves what to think. This used to exist in more gentlemanly debate programs in some fashion, such as with the TV debate program Point Counterpoint, but now, the bias of the reporter or of the network is the primary operator in determining the outcome of the interview, rather than the information that is available about the story. This has helped create a news and information culture in the United States that is truly insane. As examples, consider these paraphrased headlines, all occurring within the last few years: "Empire" star Jussie Smollett attacked by Trump supporters (even in MAGA hats!) Donald Trump colluded with Russia to interfere with and steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton Russia's Kaspersky Lab is a Kremlin front (because its owner was educated at the KGB academy) President Trump is a racist and all that he does is excite other white racist men "Hands up, don't shoot!" was what Michael Brown of Ferguson begged of the police officer that killed him Covington Catholic High School students abuse Nathan Philips, a Viet Nam veteran and Native American America's withdrawal from the INF means war is coming between the US and Russia. The world is going to end in 12 years if America does not stop using fossil fuels (but everyone else can still do so) All of these are probably familiar to most readers. Many of them are still repeated and acted on as if they were real. But the articles we linked to behind most of these ledes are examples of the disproof, usually 100% disproof, of these. They are hoaxes, or reports built on circumstantial evidence without any proof, or in the worst cases, pure slander and propaganda. One reporter for CBS news, 60 Minutes anchor Lara Logan, discussed this in an interview with retired Navy SEAL Mike Ritland, for his own podcast program, which was picked up by the MediaIte website. The video of her interview is quite lengthy but starting at about 02:14:00 there is a particular segment that the MediaIte writers called to attention. We include this segment in the video. PARENTAL ADVISORY: The video is unrestricted in regards to language and there is some profanity. Parents, please listen first before letting your children watch this video. A major point Mrs Logan makes here is that 85% of the employ of the mainstream media in the USA consist of registered Democrats. She also speaks forcefully against the use of stereotypes, and suggests the best place to start is actual facts. This means that most journalists are coming into this work with a bias, which is not set aside for the sake of the facts of the story. Probably the most key point comes at 2:18:20 in the video is how Lara Logan is taught the way to discern whether or not someone in journalism is lying to you: "Someone very smart told me a long time ago, that, 'how do you know you are being lied to?', 'how do you know you are being manipulated?', 'how do you know there is something not right with the coverage?', when they simplify it all, and there is no gray. There is no gray. It's all one way. "Well, life isn't like that. If it doesn't match real life, it is probably not. Something is wrong." Lara Logan then pointed out the comparison of the mainstream media's constant negative coverage of President Trump against the reality of his work, that, regardless of one's own personal bias, it does not match that everything the President does is bad. She also highlighted the point that one's personal views should not come into how to report a news story. Yet in our days, it not only comes into the story, it drives the narrative for which the story just becomes an example of "proof" that the narrative is "true." Tucker Carlson talked vividly about the same characteristic on his program Monday night on Fox News. He points out that the 3,000 yearly shooting in Chicago get very little news coverage, but that is because these are not as "useful" as the Jussie Smollett story is. This is an example of using an event or a person's actions to satisfy a politically biased propaganda narrative, rather than report the news. This is not occasional, as the list of news headlines given above show. This is a constant practice across most of the mainstream media. Probably no one who gives interviews on the major networks is exempt, for even Mr. Carlson often resorts to cornering tactics when interviewing liberals in an apparent attempt to make the liberal look ridiculous and the point of view he espouses to look vindicated through that ridiculousness. While this is emotionally invigorating for the Carlson fan who wants to see him "eviscerate" the liberal, it is very bad journalism. In fact, it is not journalism at all; it is sensationalism in a nasty sense. It also insults the viewer, perhaps without them knowing it, because such reporting is the same as telling the viewer "WE ARE IN CONTROL!" and that the viewer must simply go along with the narrative given. It is very bad when what should be information reporting, policy discussion, or debate becomes infected with this. Ideas, the product of (hopefully) rational and discursive reasoning, are pushed aside by pure emotion and mass sensationalism. Put metaphorically, it is the new look of bread and circuses, keeping the masses entertained while anything else might be happening. Sometimes the motive for this is not so sinister. After all, we have a 24 hour news cycle now. In the 1970's we didn't. And in those times, the calibre of news reported was much higher. Reporting was far more careful. The Pulitzer Prize winners Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein did their incredible exposé on the doings of President Richard Nixon under the directorship of the Washington Post editor, which demanded triple-checking of everything, making sure that all information was factual, accurate and genuine. While the story was indeed sensational, more importantly, it was true. Now we have a lot of sensation, but very little to zero truth. As an example, every one of the ledes linked above is not proven to be true, in fact the truth in many of these stories is the opposite of what the headline says. This would not be much of a problem if the media lies were not absorbed and reacted on by their readers, listeners and viewers. But the fact is that there are a significant number of consumers of mainstream media news that do react to it. The Covington High School incident showed this in perhaps the most frightening way, with open calls for violence against teenagers and high school students, requested by professionals, people that are supposed to be adults, such as Kathy Griffin, Reza Aslan, and GQ writer Nathaniel Friedman, who called for these kids to be "doxxed", which as we reported, is an action that can be deadly. We are in the times where the love of many has gone cold, and all is about expediency and selfishness. While there are a few outlets and a few journalists that still retain interest in recording and disseminating the truth, the reality is that most of what is out there is tainted by the drive for attention and sensationalism. The media that engages in such behavior is actually hurting people, rather than informing and helping them. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon! Continue Reading Latest Honest liberal says he is NOT INTERESTED in policy explanation [Video] When news anchors try to act like prosecuting attorneys instead of actually interviewing people, we all lose. Published 2 days ago on February 18, 2019 By Seraphim Hanisch One characteristic of modern-day television "news reporting" is that the political news is not truly reported. Rather, if the interviewer disagrees with the one being interviewed, the session turns into interviewer grandstanding. Regrettably, this tactic is used by liberal and conservative journalists alike. However, it is usually not admitted, as the interviewer usually chooses to say things like "I want the truth" when he or she really wants to force the other person to admit the correctness of the interviewer. Over the weekend, Fox News' Chris Wallace grandstanded against White House Senior Policy Adviser Stephen Miller. However, Chris Wallace at least was honest about his wish: STEPHEN MILLER: … At a fundamental level, we could go down into the details, and you know, Chris, I can go down into details as much as you want to, but the bottom line is this… CHRIS WALLACE: Please don't! (laughs) This is a big problem. The responsibility of any good journalist is to get full and accurate information about a given topic. Isn't it? Not in the press of our day. Chris Wallace is a valued personality for the Fox News Channel. As a former CBS anchor for 60 Minutes, Wallace brings a well-known face and voice of the mainstream media to Fox, even though he is quite liberal politically, as are many in the entertainment and information professions. The problem is that the topic here, the facts justifying President Trump's National Emergency declaration on Friday over the still permeable US-Mexico border, are present in abundance. But Mr. Wallace did not want to know these facts, or perhaps worse, he did not want to let his viewing audience know this information, so he tried to prevent Mr. Miller from talking about those details. Stephen Miller, thankfully, was not having it. He insisted on giving a full and informed response to Mr. Wallace's questions, even though Wallace did not want to hear any information. The rest of the interview is comprised of Mr. Miller trying to dissemimate information and Mr. Wallace trying to block it and refuse it in order to sustain his own preferred narrative. Chris Wallace' point of view is that the President called a National Emergency for no good reason, and that President Trump is breaking the law by appropriating money for the Border Wall, something which only the House of Representatives can do, legislatively. However, the point of view expressed by Mr. Wallace and President Trump is that as Chief Executive of the United States of America, the President is responsible to preserve the country from invasion. For the President, the never-ending waves of illegals coming into the country and not being deported, but rather, released into the US pending trials that they often never attend years later, amounts to a slow invasion. Strictly speaking, President Trump is correct. The illegals are not (usually) armed representatives of a foreign power, but neither do they become American citizens. Many of them take advantage of generous provisions and loopholes in the law (Mexico teaches them how to do this!) and they therefore earn money but usurp the country of resources. It has been exceedingly difficult to move the level of interest in stopping illegal immigration in the US. Rush Limbaugh rightly stated in his program on Friday, February 15, what the problem is, and we include some of the details (as we should) for why Mr. Limbaugh says what he says here: There is a limit on a number of detainees. There is limit on how much of border and fence can be built. There's a limit on what kind can be built. There's a limit on modernization. This bill is filled with congressional edicts telling the president of the United States what he cannot do. Now, it authorizes $23 billion for Homeland Security, but it specifies $1.375 billion for fencing and bordering. But there are so many limits on this as to make this practically irrelevant — by design and on purpose, because I firmly believe that what members of Congress (both parties) actually want with this bill is to send a message that nothing is ever gonna happen as long as Donald Trump is President. The attempt in this budget deal is to send a message to you Trump voters that it's worthless voting for him, that it is a waste of time supporting him, because they are demonstrating that he can't get anything done. This is Pelosi in the House and Schumer in the Senate getting together, because they know when it comes to illegal immigration, these parties are unified, folks. For the most part, the Republicans and Democrats are for open borders. There are exceptions on the Republican side. But there are a lot of Republicans that don't want Trump to succeed even now. There are a lot of Republicans just after he was inaugurated who don't want him to succeed. So they come up with a piece of legislation here that is outrageous. It is outrageous in its denial of the existence of a genuine emergency at the border. They don't care. They will deal with whatever mess they create. They don't care how bad it gets because in their world, the only mess is Donald Trump — and since the Russian effort and the Mueller effort and everything else related to that has failed to get his approval numbers down (and that has been the objective from the get-go), this is the latest effort, and it won't be long… You mark my words on this. There is an emergency at the US-Mexico border. Last year almost half a million people were apprehended by the Border Patrol and ICE. Many, if not most, though, are still in the United States. They were not all sent back. Some were, and some of them probably have come back in yet again. The fact that our nation's borders are unrestricted in this manner is absolute folly. The more American people know the details about what is actually happening at the border, the more they support the wall's construction and President Trump's policies. We have seen evidence for this in polling even by liberal network outlets. President Trump managed to call attention to this topic and bring it into the center of the discussion of US domestic policy. Rasmussen reported that the level of approval of Trump's work to close the border is high – at 59 percent, with only 33 percent disapproving. The President made this an issue. Chris Wallace tried in his own program to deflect and dissuade information from being brought to the attention of the American viewers who watch his program. This is not journalism. It is reinforcement of propaganda on Mr. Wallace's part, defense against facts, and an unwillingness to let the American people have information and therefore to think for themselves. Unfortunately, such practices are not limited to Mr. Wallace. Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and others all utilize this form of questioning, and it is a shame, because the news reporter no longer reports the news. When a talking head on TV or radio places himself or herself as the Gatekeeper to allow or prevent information from reaching the American people, this is highly presumptuous, ego driven and almost always, dishonest. Worse, such an approach reinforces this message to American people: "You cannot think for yourself. It is too hard, so we will do your thinking for you. Trust us!" This style of journalism became more and more popular over, under the "appearance" of "tough questioning." However the usual course of "tough questioning" is ideologically aligned with whatever the journalist thinks, and not at all about what is actually important. Chris Wallace is notorious for doing this with conservatives, and he does aggravate them, but he reduces interviews to an argument between the journalist and the person interviewed. And usually, this is not the story. This was made absolutely clear in the interview with Stephen Miller, even to the point that Mr. Wallace actually voiced the request, "please don't (give us all the specifics of this issue.)" Good journalism respects the fact that different people have different points of view. Agreement or disagreement with these points is what Op-Ed writing is for. But when Op-Ed is treated as hard fact journalism, we all lose. We included the whole interview video from the beginning here so that the viewer can take in the whole course of this discussion. It is well worth watching. And as it is well-worth watching, it is also well-worth each person's own personal consideration. People are smarter than the media would like us to be. Liked it?

Continue Reading Latest "This is America" reveals a shocking vision of the United States The Grammy Award winning Song and Record of the Year feature the very darkest vision of what America has become. Published 3 days ago on February 17, 2019 By Seraphim Hanisch The Grammy Awards are the second of the three most significant musical achievement awards in the United States. Two of the anticipated awards that many fans of this event look forward to learning are the Song of the Year and the Record of the Year. The Song of the Year is awarded to the songwriters of a given song, where the Record of the Year goes to the artists, producers and engineers involved in crafting the recording (the "record") of a song. Both categories are huge and both usually go to an artist or organization responsible for a pop song. It also happens to be that usually the song that is picked is beautiful and in most cases, reflects the character of beauty (whether in music or lyrics or both) for that year. This year was quite different. Both awards went to Donald Glover, a.k.a. "Childish Gambino" for his song This is America. This song features a radically different tone than previous winners going back for many years. Though rap remixes are usually less musical, the Grammy winners among these mixes have nevertheless retained some relatively positive, or at least attractive, aspect. This is America is very different, especially when watched with its video. Musically, it is genius, though the genius appears to have gone mad. Glover paints a picture of some very positive segments in American life, but then destroys it with his audible form and message that says absolutely nothing positive, but even more so – it doesn't make sense unless one knows the context. That context is revealed in the video with frightening images: someone getting their brains blown out (we see the blood fly), a gospel choir shot up with an automatic rifle while they were singing, and cannabis, front and center, being smoked by the artist himself. This is America? For Glover, this song and others on his album do seem to reflect that point of view. Feels like Summer, one of Glover's other recent songs, also reflects this sense of hopelessness, though it is far more musically consistent. The video gives the most clear contextual information that one could ask for, and while the video is not violent, it features degradation in society, even though the people depicted appear to be trying to make the best of their life situations. The image Mr. Glover paints of America is a far cry from that which was known to most Americans only twenty years ago, and in fact, in many parts of the country where cannabis is still illegal there is a corresponding sense of positivity in life that is absent in Childish Gambino's California-esque view of life. There is a massive change that is taking place in American society. Our music and art reflects this change, and it sometimes even helps drive that change. The United States of today is at a crossroads. How many times have we read or heard THAT statement before? But does it not seem so now? The attempt of identity politics to separate our nation into groups that must somehow fight for their own relevance against other groups is not the vision of the United States only twenty years ago. Further, the normalization of themes such as drug-use and racism, the perpetuation of one in reality and the other as a mythological representation of how life "really is" in the US is radically bizarre. In discussions with people who do not live in the United States, we found that sometimes they believed that white-on-black racism really was happening in America, because the media in the US pumps this information out in a constant stream, often with people like Donald Trump as the scapegoat. But it is not true. Anyone in America's new "accused class" of white, Christian, European-descent males (and some women who are not feminists), will note that they are not racist, and in fact, they feel persecuted for their existence under the new mantra of "white privilege." But it does not matter what they say. The media pumps the message it wants to, and with such coverage it is easy to get to halfway believing it: I know I am not this way, but I guess things are getting pretty bad elsewhere because all of those people seem to be getting this way… This is the narrative the press promulgates, but upon conversations with people in "those places" we find that it is not true for them, either, and that they may in fact be thinking this is true about us. Made in America is a visionary song and video. However, the vision is not a dream; it is nothing that anyone in the country would sincerely hope for. Even in Donald Glover's case – as one of Hollywood's hottest actors, and as a big success in music, he is far from being one of the "boys in the 'hood." In fact, Time Magazine in 2017 named him one of the world's 100 most influential people. Certainly his musical work creates a powerful influence, but it also must raise questions, with the main ones being: Are we really like this? Is this what we really want to be as a country? Is this the kind of image we want our children in the US to adopt? In fact, if Mr. Glover's work was viewed with care (rather than just as something that is "cool" because the media says it is), it might help us steer away from the cliff that many Americans are in fact heading towards. We have elected not to link to the video because it is too disturbing for children. It is even too disturbing for many adults. For that reason we are not making it one-click-easy to get to. Parents reading this opinion piece would do well to screen the video by themselves without the kids around first, before deciding what they want to do. Even though the video is probably something that they have already seen, the parents still stand as the guides and guardians for their children through all the perils of growing up. These times call for great guardians indeed. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon! Continue Reading JOIN OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL Your donations make all the difference.

Normal police rescue 8 ducklings from sewer
NORMAL, Ill. (AP) — Normal police officers have saved eight ducklings from a storm sewer.
The rescue happened early Thursday evening when pedestrians saw two distraught ducks near a storm drain. The Pantagraph in Bloomington reports (http://bit.ly/14ggB7s) that the pedestrians called police when they heard peeping from a manhole cover. Police asked McLean County Animal Control for a net to get the ducklings.
Officer Mitchell Wilson climbed into the storm sewer and coaxed the ducklings into the net. Officer Melissa Zabukovec took the ducklings to a farm field and released them. Their parents, the two anxious ducks, flew in. The duck family headed to a nearby pond.
Wilson calls it "a happy ending."

It should be clear now that OEMs and partners have begun to roll out the second Windows Phone 8 OS update for the year, dubbed 'GDR2', to various devices. With the Samsung ATIV S and HTC 8X getting the update in the last 48 hours, it's obvious that things are now moving.
Earlier, we told you that T-Mobile US was testing the GDR2 OS update for the Nokia Lumia 810. On that device we were unsure if it actually will be updated versus the carrier just testing it. However, we can now definitively say that another device, the HTC 8X will get the update and it is scheduled to happen within the next four days, on July 22nd.
We say "scheduled" only because T-Mobile has cancelled previous updates in the past with very short notice, due to some bugs found. While that could happen here, the company seems confident that the update is "gold" and ready for distribution.
According to an internal memo obtained by Windows Phone Central, and seen above, the OS update (10327) will begin to roll out next Monday and it will include Data Sense (much like their Lumia 925). The memo also notes and improved camera and an "improved user experience".
Hopefully more specifics will come forward in the coming days, including whether or not Wi-Fi calling will be on board as well as FM Radio and the temporary file cleaner.

Bentley Compatible Reverse Parking Sensors
|Our range of parking sensors are universally suitable to be retro fitted to the Bentley fleet of cars giving a professional finish leaving very little difference between your aftermarket sensors and the look of the car as if it had been supplied with parking sensors from new.
Bentley parking sensor installations
Bentley paint colour charts with closest match parking sensor colours
Parking Sensors
Parking Sensors will detect obstacles behind you to aid your parking and enable you to get into those tight spots without damaging your car. Using Ultrasonic technology they emit a cone of sound behind your car which bounces of obstacles behind and returns to the sensor,
We offer a range of mounting options for these sensors from the traditional flush fitting sensors with just an audible alert or a combined display and with audio feedback to individual adhesive sensors, bumper mounted strips and systems with reversing cameras.
If you're not sure which to go for see our Comparison page or give us a call.
Apart from the obvious safety advantages, financially reverse parking systems will pay for themselves if it prevents you from having just one accident. Regardless of your insurance there is always that "excess" on your policy which is a minimum of £100 these days. Any claims you make could damage your no-claims bonus and would impact on your next year's renewal fees. It will also help you park in confidence in front of people without damaging your pride.
All systems are guaranteed against manufacturing defects for a period of 12 months from purchase. We also offer spare sensors should you have accidents - such as people driving into the back of you - or should you need any new sensors outside of warranty.
Most of these systems are an easy DIY installation only requiring a 2-wire connection. However if upon receipt you feel you do not fancy tackling the job yourself you will find a list of nationwide installers enclosed with your order who will charge approx £80-£100 for fitting a rear sensor kit and approx £150 for two kits if you have one fitted to the front at the same time.
Order securely online or by phone. All items are stocked and we dispatch within 24 hours. We offer a 14 day money back guarantee in the unlikely event that the product is not suitable for your vehicle, please feel free to call without any obligation for advice about any of the above systems.
Why Order From Us?

- Large stocks held
- Next day delivery

The Soyuz 2 crew successfully undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) late Saturday night U.S. time, and landed safely on the Central steppes of Kazakhstan Sunday morning to complete its mission to deliver a fresh Soyuz return capsule to the Expedition Two crew.
The Soyuz capsule, which first brought the Expedition One crew to the ISS last November, undocked from the aft docking port of the Zvezda Service Module at 9:21 p.m. Central time as the ISS flew over Eastern Russia. About two and a half hours later at 11:47 p.m. Central time, the Soyuz' engines were fired for a little over four minutes in the deorbit maneuver to enable the capsule to drop out of orbit for its descent back to Earth.
Russian flight controllers confirmed that the landing of the Soyuz 2 crew occurred at 12:42 a.m. Central time Sunday morning.
With its new Soyuz vehicle safely docked to the nadir port of the Zarya module, the Expedition Two crew will take a day and a half off on Sunday and Monday before resuming its activities Monday afternoon.
The International Space Station continues to orbit the Earth in good shape at an altitude of 245 statute miles (395 km). The next ISS Status Report will be issued Wednesday, or earlier, if developments warrant.

The Acura ZDX is a crossover, midsize vehicle introduced by the Honda Acura brand in 2009. The Acura ZDX is a modified design of the Honda Pilot and the Acura MDX sport utility vehicle (SUV).
Acura unveiled the concept version of the ZDX in a series of video spots between March 16th and 20th, 2009. Shrinking down the SUV, while keeping much of the power and handling capabilities, makes the Acura MDX a suitable choice for someone who wants a vehicle with lots of driving power but better gas mileage and a smaller package. Be aware, however, the ZDX does lack some of the performance of its MDX and Pilot counterparts.
The Acura ZDX is known for its visual aesthetics, including the sloped front, modeled after the Honda Pilot and the MDX, and the hatchback, which creates a look unlike many of the other vehicles out there. The interior offers plenty of space and storage. The ZDX serves great as a family vehicle, or a great hauling vehicle for those not interested in purchasing a pickup truck.
The ZDX's engine represents the largest of all Acura vehicles. The engine provides 300 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque, making the vehicle extremely powerful on a standstill takeoff. The forked crankshaft of the engine reduces weight and increases performance. Given all this power, fuel efficiency remains pretty impressive, providing 23 mpg highway and more in the city according to 2012 EPA mileage estimates.
The struts are designed for the all-wheel-drive system, which equalizes power distribution between all wheels. Fast acceleration causes the all-wheel-drive system to shift power to the rear wheels for better traction. Power shifts to the outer wheels during cornering to prevent cornering issues.
Torque sensors assist the ZDX's power steering system, which adjusts the strength necessary to steer the vehicle at both high and low speeds. Steering stays firm at high speeds and loose at low speeds to prevent loss of control and extra exertion.
Nearly half of the ZDX body uses steel, making the body rigid and streamlined. Insulation materials can be found in the bulkhead, floor, and doors to prevent knocking noises during operation. The glass of the vehicle is formed to negate wind frequencies, making the ride quiet and isolated.
The 2012 Acura ZDX model measures 192.4 inches in length, 78.5 inches in width, and 62.8 inches in unladen height. The wheelbase stretches 108.3 inches and uses 19-inch wheels.
The Acura ZDX contains a 3.7-liter, V-6 engine made of an aluminum alloy. The drivetrain provides the trademarked Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system. The car uses an automatic transmission, but also has paddle shifters that allow you to switch between personal control and automatic shifting.
The Acura ZDX has a variety of lighting and visibility features, including a rear-view camera and HID headlights standard, as well as an optional blind spot information system. The car has an automatic temperature control with a GPS-linked temperature control as an added option.
The hood, instrument panel support, and other areas of the 2012 Acura ZDX that require less weight to operate efficiently employ lightweight aluminum. This brings the entire car's weight down to a sprightly 4410 pounds.
This model offers luxurious seating. The driver's seat adjusts 10 ways and includes lower back support for a comfortable ride. Internal memory can record up to two drivers' seating and performance preferences. The passenger seat has an eight-way adjustable seat. The Advance Package of the Acura ZDX, which includes luxury options, allows you to control heat for the front occupants of the vehicle. The back seating includes a central armrest and a flat floor, allowing for more storage space. The back seats fold, providing storage on a nearly flat floor. The layout affords each passenger 95.8 cubic feet of space.
The 2012 ZDX comes with a four-year/50,000-mile limited warranty. It offers a variety of different packages, including advanced navigation and voice command options.
The Acura 2010 and 2011 models vary little from the 2012 model.
The 2010 models come in a variety of colors, including White Pearl, Metallic, Taupe, Ebony, Ionized Bronze Metallic, Grigio Bronze Metallic, and Umber, depending on the package purchased. The 2011 also comes in many exterior colors.
2013 Acura ZDX
Hatchback, SUV, Utility/Offroad
The 2013 Acura ZDX offers new standard features and updated styling.
2012 Acura ZDX
The ZDX is Acura's first segment-breaking experiment: a crossover SUV coupe.
2011 Acura ZDX
The 2011 Acura ZDX will appeal to young families wanting a smaller, sportier crossover sport utility vehicle (SUV).
2010 Acura ZDX

Pinterest really does have a use! Although admittedly the time I spend on Pinterest is disproportionate to the actual creative output that results.
I pinned the top at left (from Etsy) a while back. I just love the ruffle. It's visually interesting without being too girly.
The asymmetric ruffle is a fairly common feature in RTW, as on this Travelsmith tee ($54), with its half neckline flounce that trails down slightly off from center front.
Another example is this RED Valentino top ($59.99 on deep discount at Bluefly), with applied ruffles in mixed materials.
A little wilder is this Shoshanna one shoulder top ($159, Bluefly). It's hard to tell for sure, but it looks like the ruffle is a couple inches in from the side seam. I like the way it meanders from the neckline to the hem.
This is a fairly simple pattern to draft from a basic t-shirt block (which I now have, yay!).
Start by making a full front. Mark a line from about an inch into the shoulder (exclusive of seam allowance) down to the hem, parallel to the center front marking. Measure this line and make a note of it, as it's the length to which you will be gathering your ruffle. Make hash marks along the line; mine are spaced 2 1/2 inches apart.
Cut the pattern apart along the line, then cut at the hash marks to the side seam allowance. Spread at the slashes and lay the pattern out on more tissue, as shown above at the right (in the absence of pattern weights I used scissors and my pincushion to keep the pieces in place).
A note on grain: patterns I have sewn in this style generally have the grain marked such that the hem is trued up to run along crossgrain. Since this is just a casual knit, I laid it out in the most fabric-efficient way. It seems to sit fine, but note that "proper" grain should probably result in the hem being straight on the crossgrain.
Trace the pattern, making a smooth line on the spread edge. Add ruffle allowance to your tracing. My ruffle is 2 1/2 inches wide. The ruffle ends at the shoulder seam allowance and hem allowance; you can see the notches at the top and bottom of the ruffle.
Measure your curved center front edge. Repeat the process on the other half of your front pattern, spreading the same amount. Because your pieces are different sizes, the angle on the smaller piece is more extreme. Also, despite my best efforts, I couldn't spread it to be quite as long as the larger half, so I had to take a few tucks when sewing the center front seam to get them to match..
Before assembling, finish the ruffle if you'd like. My knit was a rather loose weave, so I serger rolled hemmed it. Serger rolled hemming is such an easy finish it should be illegal. The way it looks is so disproportionately high to how much effort it is! I am LOVING my Juki MO 644-D for rolled hems.
I found it easier, to assemble the front before putting the rest of the top together. Start by sewing the ruffle seam, between the shoulder seam allowance and the hem allowance, WRONG sides together. You want the "seam allowance"--the ruffle--to be on the outside. You will sew along the line where you traced the cut edges. So in my case, I had a 2 1/2 inch "seam allowance."
Be sure to leave the seam unsewn in the shoulder seam allowance/hem allowance.
A picture is worth a thousand words so I'll let the pic describe the next part.
Essentially, clip into the seam allowance to the top and bottom of the ruffle stitching. Turn the seam allowances (shoulder seam allowance and hem allowance) to the inside. Stitch.
After the ruffle, shoulder seam allowance, and hem allowance are sewn and you have an intact front, gather the ruffle to your measured length.
As my red ruffle front dress was fresh in my mind, I used the same ribbon stay technique with the three rows of stitching--from the front in the ditch, and then on either side of the ruffle (also on the front--click on the link for details). Because this wasn't quite so formal a project, I did the stitch-in-the-ditch by machine, rather than by hand as I did for the dress.
Next time I make this pattern I will consider using a firm elastic rather than a ribbon. In my lightweight knit, the ribbon interferes somewhat with the flow of the top, though it does provide plenty of stability.
Now just assemble the t-shirt as you would any other.
I am having so much fun with t-shirt variations! I'm counting my McCall 6363 knockoff as Variation #1. I've already made another variation and have ideas for more.
I even have a special binder just for my t-shirt variation patterns. As I posted a while back, I keep my traced off patterns in page protector sheets in 3 ring binders. I was lamenting how costly the large 3 ring binders are, and people had a couple suggestions for obtaining them cheaper.
I was listing a bunch of stuff on Freecycle a couple weeks ago when it hit me that I should request some binders. I have never actually asked for anything on Freecycle, though I've given away a TON of stuff (probably a literal ton, oy).
Well, within 3 hours of posting I had 3 large 3 ring binders in my possession. It was amazing! Freecycle is a great way to pass along your unwanted items. I particularly like it for things that the Goodwill and other thrift-store type organizations would not be able to sell but are still useable, such as mostly full bottles of lotion or shampoo that I just didn't like or use. Plus, people come to your place to pick it up! For someone without a car, like me, this is a huge boon.
All photos are here and the pattern review is here.

Hayward® Pool Products New Acid Feed System Automates pH Balancing
Gary Young Scales Advertising 612-247-8123
ELIZABETH, NJ — Hayward® Pool Products, the market leader in swimming pool products, unveils its latest addition to Sense and Dispense® chemistry automation line – the Stenner Pump Acid Feed System. According to Hayward, the new product has the potential to transform the way owners care for their pools.
Hayward chose Stenner's pump system because their tested approach to chemical delivery is robust, safe and reliable. With Sense and Dispense and the new Stenner Pump Acid Feed System, pool owners will be able to spend less time transporting and handling chemicals and more time enjoying their pool. The new system automatically balances the rise in pH that often occurs with the use of salt chlorination systems in pools and spas. Managed by Hayward's Sense and Dispense chemistry automation, the combination of the Stenner pump with a salt chlorination system makes chlorine and pH control simple and automatic. Sense and Dispense is an option that works in conjunction with Aqua Rite Pro, Pro Logic and Aqua Plus.
"Proper pH control is critically important to optimizing the effectiveness of chlorine, as well as protecting swimming pool equipment," says Hayward Industries Sanitization Product Manager Ray Denkewicz. "The Stenner Pump Acid Feed System helps provide the highest quality pool and spa water while also protecting pool owners' valuable investments."

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
So I am a bit hesitant to post this because the past few times I have posted about something I have submitted they have failed to occur. But hey, I might as well. If I don't I might get all 5 sessions I submitted and have to do them.. and that would be super tiring.
So I put in 5, including a 1/2 day session and a pre-con and if I could choose only one, it would be the pre-con. Before you start thinking I am stating the obvious, I have done one pre-con by myself at the Orlando SQL Saturday last year and it was great to have enough time to actually do the topic of relational database design, including time to actually get the people in the session to create designs on their own. The 1/2 day session is intriguing. I am thinking that a 1/2 day would still give us time to do some database designs, though not likely on the whiteboard in teams. In either case, if I get to do either of these, I figure I would bring my Wacom Cintiq 12x monitor to interact onscreen…
So, the sessions I submitted are, starting with the regular sessions:
Database Design Fundamentals – A session I have done quite a few times over the years, including quite a few SQL Saturdays recently with major changes to the normalization bits based on newer, friendlier example code.
Characteristics of a Great Relational Database – A new session that I have only done once for the AppDev virtual chapter. It is a basically a list of seven characteristics that make a database great, rather than just functional.
Database Structures for Programmers – A session that I am writing for Devlink this year (and probably the Nashville SQL Server User Group in July) that is probably encroaching on a few of my idol's sessions who talk about structures. My goal in suggesting it was to branch out a bit and start talking a bit more about non-relational stuff. A great lacking I think is sessions about the physical structures, particularly at the level I tend to give talks at (which is to talk about complex subjects in less than complex manners.) A lot of developers don't want to get so deep it gets confusing, but they do need to know about how the physical implementation of SQL Server can be manipulated for your benefit.
Database Design Patterns In Practice (1/2 day) – In this session, my goal will be to cover constraints, triggers, etc and how you can put them together to make interesting objects in your design. It will be highly interactive, more or less consisting of an overview of data protection/implementation objects, then a set of scenarios that we will implement together.
Database Design Workshop (pre-con) – This session will cover database design from the basics to actually putting it into practice. It is a bit like drinking from a firehose, but it very practical in nature as we will be looking at stuff that any person who has to do database design will do regularly.
So there you have it. If I get even one of them I will be happy to do it. Speaking at PASS may be the most stressful of all of the speaking I do since the competition is strong, there are lots of tracks,and I have regularly been in the final slot of the conference where I probably would have been too tired to attend a session myself. If you want to get a solid idea of why this gets to me, watch for my SQL People entry comes up sometime this month.

Issue 12-2018
In its 12-2018 issue, "Tourenfahrer" magazine tested various brake pads on the Suzuki GSX-S750. Lucas sintered brake pads (and one rival brand) were awarded a TOURENFAHRER RECOMMENDATION. The following features were given special mention:

Issue 3-2016
In its 23-2016 issue, MO magazine tested Lucas TRW Sinter Brake Pads on the Suzuki GSX-S 1000 and awarded them an MO BEST BUY recommendation.
Special mention was given to the noticeably stronger braking performance and lower price compared to the original brake pads.
Issue 6-2014
In its 6/2014 issue, "Motorradfahrer" magazine tested a variety of accessories on the Suzuki GSR 750. TRW Sinter Brake Pads were awarded a MOTORRADFAHRER RECOMMENDATION.
"The sintered metal brake pads from TRW transform the toothless GSR braking system into a real stopper". A must-have for this motorbike because, after fitting new pads, you can easily operate the GSR lever with two fingers into the ABS control range. When slowing down, the bite increases with rising temperature, so it is not too aggressive at first, which makes these pads suitable for everyday use. TRW thus offers the perfect brake pad composition for the vexed issue of the GSR brake."

The 2009 Catalyst Awards Dinner sponsored by DuPont and Shell Oil Company, was held Tuesday, March 31, 2009, at The Waldorf Astoria in New York.
2009 Catalyst Awards Dinner
Catalyst Event
31 March 2009
Price: Free
Irene B. Rosenfeld, Chairman and CEO of Kraft Foods Inc., served as Dinner Chair. Initiatives from Baxter International Inc., CH2M HILL, Gibbons P.C., and KPMG LLP were honored as winners of the 2009 Catalyst Award.
Baxter International Inc.
In 2005, Baxter's Asia Pacific operations developed Building Talent Edge, a talent management initiative to cultivate a more effective, diverse, and sustainable organization built for growth and maximized opportunities. The initiative strives to develop a 50/50 gender balance across management-level and critical positions throughout the 14 countries in the region. Although Baxter aimed to reach its target by 2010, its goal was achieved two years ahead of plan through robust recruitment and development strategies together with strong communication and accountability. Building Talent Edge reflects the culture of Baxter's Asia Pacific operations, which is inclusive and reinforced by shared leadership expectations and values among all staff. Baxter's regional president and the Asia Pacific Leadership Team (APLT) execute elements of the initiative and oversee regional talent planning to ensure gender balance.
Components of the recruitment and development strategies require that external recruiters present diverse candidate slates of 50 percent women. Similar targets apply to training programs such as Leadership Acceleration Program (LEAP), Baxter's program for high-potential talent, and Fitness training, which aims to improve the clinical, product, and marketing knowledge of Asia Pacific teams. These efforts are linked to positive business outcomes. In addition, the initiative promotes cultural sensitivity in managing talent throughout the region by providing all women—including those in countries where women are disadvantaged by cultural norms—access to leadership development and relocation opportunities. Strong accountability is enforced through close performance monitoring that is measured and communicated regularly. Metrics measure progress toward the goals of retaining 90 to100 percent of top talent and achieving gender balance. These goals are performance management objectives that ensure accountability to the talent management initiative.
Building Talent Edge has delivered solid increases for women in critical positions across Baxter's Asia Pacific operations: women in management and executive positions increased from 31 percent in 2004 to 50 percent in 2008, and four out of 16 general managers are women. Representation of women in individual countries is also strong: approximately 30 to 70 percent of management and executive positions in each of the 14 respective countries are held by women. From 2006 to 2008, women's representation on the APLT increased from 25 to 37 percent.
CH2M HILL's Constructing Pathways for Women Through Inclusion initiative utilizes the company's long-standing inclusive workplace to accelerate women's advancement. In the traditionally male-dominated industry of engineering and construction, CH2MHILL provides a model for leveraging women employees to achieve business success. Founded on principles that include a collaborative, team-oriented, non-hierarchical culture where all views are heard and respected, this engineering and construction firm works to ensure that processes are transparent. All employees receive The Little Yellow Book, a guide to the organization's values designed to support an environment in which diversity, openness, and innovation thrive. Expectations for employee behavior, including diversity orientation, are explicit and defined as "Work Approaches" in the company's performance management system.
Other important components of Constructing Pathways for Women Through Inclusion include regional women's networks that provide local learning and mentoring opportunities; Women's Leadership Summits that deliver strategic learning opportunities to a cross-section of women leaders; informal mentoring and networking opportunities; targeted recruiting for both new graduates and experienced hires; a formal succession-planning process that ensures slates are diverse and include at least one woman or person of color; vigorous recruiting of women and people of color into the firm; and substantial involvement by the Board of Directors' Workforce and Diversity Committee in developing strategy and policy. Accountability mechanisms include the Performance Enhancement Process, which evaluates employees' goals; balanced scorecards that measure progress for each business group and ensure that efforts are tracked in the line business; and an employee survey through which leaders are held responsible for making continued improvement in diversity and inclusion measures.
CH2MHILL leverages women employees by ensuring they are placed in important positions, are visible role models, and are responsible for high-profile projects, linking their expertise to business success. Since the initiative's launch in 2003, women's representation in senior leadership positions—as business unit heads, geographic region leaders, and top managers—has increased from 2.9 percent to 18.0 percent, and women of color lead two of the company's 13 geographic regions. The percentage of women project managers has also increased from 20.5 percent in 2005 to 30.3 percent in 2008.
Gibbons P.C.
The Women's Initiative: Driving Success Through Diversity Investment at Gibbons P.C. has contributed to, and continues to support, a workplace culture that is flexible, innovative, engaging, and inclusive. It is embedded in the firm's business development strategy and has become critical to its branding in the marketplace. Through the initiative's informative and well-attended events, 60 percent of clients are involved in various activities. Women, men, and the firm benefit from the business generated by these events. In 2007, The Women's Initiative generated more than 6 percent of the firm's annual revenue.
Other important components include women-only "mentoring circles" that give attorneys a chance to connect with role models and share career insights. Women involved with the initiative also provide strategic advice on the firm's flexibility programs and policies. In addition, community involvement through outreach and partnerships contribute to strong recruitment and retention by building and sustaining the firm's brand. Participation in The Women's Initiative is strongly supported, expected, and entrenched in the firm's processes. Performance evaluations and compensation reviews at each level, including among women and men directors/partners account for corporate citizenship activities; this explicitly includes participation in the initiative. Also, associates may count 35 hours toward their annual billable-hours requirements.
Together, the initiative's components create an environment in which women professionals can succeed. The culture of flexibility ensures women's advancement is not impeded by work-life concerns: more than two-thirds of the firm's women directors are mothers. Twenty-two percent of the firm's women non-equity directors, 20 percent of women counsel, and 16 percent of women associates utilize a reduced-hours schedule. Women currently hold 21.1 percent of equity director positions, and the number of women directors overall increased from 13 percent in 1997 to 19 percent in 2008. Women of color directors increased from zero to 4.1 percent in the same timeframe. Women also chair three of the firm's nine practice groups.
KMPG LLP's Great Place to Build a Career initiative is a comprehensive set of programs, resources, and benefits that has transformed the firm into an inclusive employer of choice which partners and employees, including women and people of color, consider a great place to work. Using diversity and inclusion as a strategic imperative to drive change, KPMG has built a culture of career growth, mentoring, and accountability that focuses on recruiting, retaining, and developing talented people from a diverse pool of backgrounds and experiences. In addition, feedback and ideas from partners and employees at all levels continually shape programs and tools to create change from within.
Since its launch in 2002, KPMG's Great Place to Build a Career initiative has been formalized among, communicated to, and embraced by all partners and employees at the firm with the goal of making KPMG an "employer of choice." The initiative consists of a robust recruiting strategy, including unconscious bias training for recruiters and a targeted mentoring program for new hires who are people of color. Other cornerstone components include transparency around career paths through an interactive set of online resources and tools, enhanced person-to-person career guidance provided by People Management Leaders—professionals who have an aptitude for career coaching—and a robust mentoring culture supported by a formal program with 6,000 mentors and nearly 10,000 mentees. Close tracking of mentoring pairs shows solid results. In 2008, turnover among mentored staff and managers was about 18 percent lower than turnover of those without mentors; for mentored partners, it was 50 percent lower. Other tracking mechanisms and formal accountability processes include monitoring human capital metrics such as retention and promotion rates and administering upward feedback, client engagement reviews, and employee surveys. Diversity goals and performance are also linked to compensation and bonuses for all partners and employees.
Great Place to Build a Career has demonstrated strong results for women. In 2008, women comprised 18.2 percent of partners, up from 12.9 percent in 2003. Also, women of color represented 10.2 percent of managing directors, directors, senior managers, and managers, up from 5.7 percent in 2003. Turnover among both women and men has decreased over the course of the initiative, dropping 36.3 percent for women and 24.5 percent for men between 2003 and 2008.

AMC announced Friday that British actor David Morrissey will play The Governor in the network's hit series, "The Walking Dead."
The BAFTA Award nominee may be best known for his starring role in the original British series "State of Play" and for appearing in the 2009 "Doctor Who" special "The Next Doctor." He has also appeared in films such as "The Reaping," "The Other Boleyn Girl," "Centurion," "The Water Horse," "Nowhere Boy," "Blitz" and the sequel "Basic Instinct 2." (He probably wishes I'd forgotten that one.:
The Governor is the most famous villain from Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" graphic novels. He's the leader of Woodbury, a small settlement of survivors, and becomes the chief antagonist for Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his group. AMC says The Governor will appear in the series' 16-episode third season, which is set to begin production this spring in Atlanta.
"Eastbound & Down" star John Hawkes had been rumored as a possible candidate to play the role.
Season 2 episodes of "The Walking Dead" air at 8 p.m. Sundays on AMC.

Pretty exciting stuff. I've written a lot here about the then-Metrigear Vector. This certainly looks a lot like the Metrigear version did. Of course the devil's in the details, and I know a lot of development has occurred since Garmin bought Metrigear.
It will be very interesting to see how this plays out. I know that when I'm riding sometimes I feel asymmetric, that my left leg maybe isn't working as hard as my right. But that's based on perceived exertion... now you'll be able to see real numbers.
And for tandems. I don't think there's another option (other than the Look/Polar) for independently measuring stoker and captain power. How many times have I seen a guy pulling his 8-year-old kid on a Trail-A-Bike and the kid (or kids in the case of the linked version) are slacking off? Slap some Vectors on that puppy and keep an eye on those little parasites.
For portability it's a bit of a wash. Swapping wheels (PowerTap), cranks (SRM and Quarq), or pedals (Polar/Look or Garmin) can all be done within a few minutes. But for travel, I think it's fair to say the pedal system is the most portable. You probably travel with your pedals anyway when you are going to rent a bike.
On Polar/Look versus Garmin: I think there's not much contest here in terms of ANT+ Sport or Polar's proprietary communications protocol. Big advantage Garmin. It will be interesting to see when each of the units get exposed to third-party scrutiny how they compare.
I am disappointed the pedals are Exustar Look-compatibles, as I'm a Speedplay fan, or particularly a fan of low-stack light double-sided pedals. Tyler Farrar was testing these pedals last December, so no surprise here.
Anyway, I'm sure there will a lot more to say on this...

Alessi E-Li-Li Set of Two Mocha Cups by Massiliano & Doriana Fuksas
Price: $95.00
Massimiliano & Doriana Fuksas were both born in Rome and graduated in architecture from La Sapienza University. In 1967 Massimilano opened a practice in Rome, followed in 1989 and 1993 by firms in Paris and Vienna, with Doriana becoming his close partner in 1985. They now live and work shuttling between Rome and Paris, teaching in numerous universities, including the Staadtliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste, the École Spéciale d'Architecture, Columbia University in New York, and La Sapienza University in Rome. Through exhibits and projects they have won numerous titles and awards such as the Vitruvio International a la Trayectoria Award in Buenos Aires, the Grand Prix d'Architecture Française, and were named Accademico Nazionale di San Luca and Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de la République Française. Their professional practice centers principally on the creation of public works, including university buildings and major urban complexes, however, they have designed several consumer products that mirror their ingenious architectural inspirations through form. The E-Li-Li Mocha Cups and Saucers surely embody all of Massiliano and Doriana's contemporary design qualities. Their anything but mundane appearance will cause double-takes as guests gaze upon their futuristic forms. Now sophisticated, modern coffee lovers can enjoy their favorite lattes in quality porcelain pieces that are as unique as the individuals drinking from them. Each set contains two cups and two saucers. Designed by: Massiliano and Doriana Fuksas Features: -Sophisticated and futuristic design -White porcelain composition -Set contains two cups and two saucers

(Reuters) - The Detroit Pistons will be without Will Bynum for their game on Monday against the playoff-bound Atlanta Hawks after the guard was suspended for one game for punching a rival player on Saturday.
Bynum was punished by the National Basketball Association for striking Tyler Hansbrough of the Indiana Pacers in the stomach as he struggled to get around a pick set by Hansbrough during Detroit's 90-72 loss to the Pacers.
Six-year NBA veteran Bynum is averaging 9.4 points and 3.8 assists a game coming off the bench for the Pistons (22-36), who will be short-handed against the visiting Hawks (31-23), who have the fifth-best record in the Eastern Conference.
