Spectrasonics Omnisphere Power Synth Now Available!
Omnisphere by Spectrasonics breaks new sonic ground by combining a wide variety of hybrid realtime synthesis techniques, an epic library of 'Psychoacoustic' sounds, and many innovative features that have never been seen before in any hardware or software synthesizer.
Spectrasonics Omnisphere is the first virtual instrument to be based on the Spectrasonics STEAM Engine, the company's newly developed core technology. Omnisphere is set to be released September 15th, 2008 with an MSRP of under £300.
The Omnisphere development team will be revealing the new instrument to the public through a series of video episodes from the Spectrasonics website showing features and behind the scenes details on how the instrument and its unique sounds have been created.
"This is truly an Epic project," said Eric Persing, Founder and Creative Director of Spectrasonics. "We have been working for many, many years; sampling unique sounds, experimenting, specifying the synthesis features and building the STEAM Engine to run it all. It's been a very exciting process involving our team of software engineers, sound designers, musicians, and graphic artists from all over the world. We've been very deliberate in making it easy to use, and yet extremely powerful. Omnisphere is our new flagship synthesizer, and points the way to all our future virtual instruments. We are thrilled to offer a new product that will new have a host of expansion capabilities in the future."
Although the new synth is extremely powerful, Omnisphere is designed with a unique user interface containing progressive layers of 'zooming' to accommodate the complete range of users - from musicians who just want to be inspired by the sounds and customize them in an easy way, to expert synthesists and the most advanced sound designers. Users can go deeper and deeper into the software and progress in their synthesis knowledge by simply exploring additional levels of sound manipulation options. To make sure that all users get the most out of the new capabilities, Omnisphere will ship with an extensive set of video tutorials and synthesis lessons taught by the renown Spectrasonics sound design team.
Spectrasonics Omnisphere offers a host of hybrid synthesis and new control capabilities including Variable Waveshaping DSP synthesis, Granular synthesis, Timbre Shifting, FM, polyphonic Ring Modulation, high-resolution streaming Sample Playback, Harmonia, Dual Multimode Filter structure, Chaos Envelopes, an advanced Unison mode, and the innovative Flex-Mod modulation routing system - to name a few.
The huge core library of Spectrasonic Omnisphere is filled with years of creative sampling experiments and thousands of inspiring patches. Spectrasonics has pioneered several brand-new types of sampling for the core library of this instrument, including unique "Psychoacoustic" sounds and sound sources created with a new Composite Morphing Technique (CMT) - which morphs the harmonic characteristics of one instrument to another. As a bonus, a section of the core library is also devoted to representing the best of Spectrasonics sample libraries. When all of these organic core library sound sources are combined with the synthesis power of the STEAM engine, the sounds become "alive" in a truly dynamic and expressive way.
Among the many unique features this new multi-timbral synth offers are its flexible arpeggiators with the innovative Groove Lock integration with Stylus RMX - allowing the arpeggiator's pattern to instantly groove with the feel of the RMX drum loop; Live Mode for transitionless patch switching and layering, Stack Mode for powerful performance mapping; and integrated modulatable FX Racks.
Spectrasonics Omnisphere is also the successor to Spectrasonics' popular Atmosphere instrument, and contains enhanced versions of all the classic Atmosphere sounds. However, the brand new core library in Omnisphere is 10-times the size of Atmosphere and features thousands of completely new and different sounds. There will be an upgrade path for all Atmosphere customers, details to be announced in September.
Omnisphere is cross-platform compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 and higher as a native Universal Binary and also with Microsoft Windows XP/Vista. Audio Units, VST, and RTAS plug-in formats are supported for compatibility with all major host software.

In the FCS Huddle: Risk, reward a staple at Eastern Washington
Philadelphia, PA – Fatherhood has slowed the days when Beau Baldwin was a roller coaster enthusiast or would jump off a bridge or a cliff into water or would find some other kind of rush.
Still, there remains plenty of risk taking in the Eastern Washington University football coach.
His team's schedules seem to be getting tougher by the year.
"I don't mind taking risks," says the sixth-year coach, whose first two games at EWU in 2008 were against Texas Tech and Colorado.
"I don't think I would have as much success if I didn't have a little bit of that mentality through the last so many years of my career."
This year's 12-game regular-season schedule - the first in EWU history - has Hannibal Lector's fingerprints all over it. Included in the first four games are visits to two FBS opponents, Oregon State and Toledo, as well as a Sam Houston State program that has reached the FCS championship game each of the last two seasons, including a win at EWU in the national semifinals last season.
Highlighting the Eagles' Big Sky Conference schedule are more difficult road games against Montana and Cal Poly, and a home matchup against Montana State.
It's possible EWU could dig an early season hole and not get out of it, as the Eagles did in an 0-4 start two years ago following their 2010 FCS national championship season, which was 2-2 at one point because of yet another tough opening stretch of games.
"To me, I think the tougher you make your schedule, a lot of times that does prepare you for the (playoff) situations," Baldwin said. "I think if you just set your schedule up so you can have a great regular season, I don't think it necessarily prepares you like you truly need to be or want to be to truly make a run in the playoffs. Plus, those are defining-type football games you can go after. Whether it be for us the last couple years with the University of Washington and playing WSU (Washington State) and Idaho. And then this year, obviously, Oregon State, Toledo and also Sam Houston, those are the type of football games that you say, man, you're making the schedule that much tougher, but those are also defining-type games, those are moment-type games."
The Eagles, who were part of a three-team share of the conference title and finished 11-3 with the No. 4 national ranking last season, open spring practice on Thursday with the goal of readying a team that lost a lot at wide receiver, linebacker and defensive end. Besides losing seniors, record-breaking wide receiver Brandon Kaufman and quarterback Kyle Padron, a co-starter last year, departed as juniors to the NFL Draft.
There are 48 letter-winners returning, and 33 of the players have combined to make 301 career starts, which certainly gives the Eagles the expectation they can overcome the losses and their difficult schedule.
"We look at (the spring) as the first 15 practices of 44 before we play our first game," Baldwin said. "The main thing we want to do is just hit those fundamentals early, making sure we are finding out how good certain football guys are, keeping it as simple as we can, evaluating them playing football and fundamentals, not whether or not they can pick up a whole bunch of stuff. It's a pretty generic style, our springs have always been that way. But it's allowed us I think to play fast and to really evaluate how guys play football."
The returning lineup features dual-threat quarterback Vernon Adams, who was one of the better freshman in the FCS last season; a solid running back corp to work behind Steven Forgette and a veteran offensive line; defensive tackle Andru Pulu, linebacker Ronnie Hamlin, cornerback T.J. Lee III and safety Allen Brown on defense; and standout punter Jake Miller.
The losses at wide receiver are the most glaring. Kaufman set the FCS single- season record last season with 1,850 receiving yards and joined fellow starters Nicholas Edwards and Greg Herd in a trio that combined on a staggering 601 receptions for 8,713 yards and 83 touchdowns over their careers.
This year's group won't have the size of its predecessors, but might sneak up on opponents with its raw talent. Senior Ashton Clark (83 career receptions) is the most seasoned receiver from a unit that includes senior Daniel Johnson, junior Cory Mitchell, sophomore Shaquille Hill, and redshirt freshmen Cooper Kupp and Keylin Huddleston.
"So other guys at other positions need to pick up what they're doing," Baldwin said. "And we do, we have veterans coming back on the offensive line, we have veterans at tight end, we have veterans at running back and we have a young quarterback, but a young quarterback who has not just game but big-game experience. So there's good pieces around them. Same thing on defense. Linebacker is where we lost the most bodies, but we have enough veterans coming back at D-line and secondary to help that transition period for the younger players that are playing new positions."
The difficulty of Eastern Washington schedules hasn't stopped the Eagles from being big winners under Baldwin. Each of his first five teams has finished with winning records both overall and in the Big Sky.
They expect to do that again during this year's regular season, and then parlay it into postseason success.
What a rush that would be.

With global cities swelling and car use soaring, how will our existing transport systems cope? Ryan Chin at the MIT Media Lab looks at sustainable alternatives that we could see on the streets by 2050.
What is the future of urban mobility? By 2050 there could be 2.5bn cars roaming the planet and most of them will be concentrated in cities, the OECD has reported. Saudi Arabia, one of the world's top oil exporters, expects domestic consumption to exceed exports by that year purely to feed its internal needs for automotive fuel. Meanwhile, if Chinese levels of automobile ownership reach US levels (840 cars per 1,000 people), demand for oil in China alone will surpass present-day global oil production, management consultants McKinsey have reported. And climate scientists predict irreversible environmental damage with continued carbon emissions if we follow this "business as usual" attitude. But, we no longer need to rely on predictions to understand the magnitude of this future, we can simply need to visit Beijing to realise that, as science fiction author William Gibson said, "the future is already here – it's just not very evenly distributed".
Beijing, a city with more than 20 million people, typifies the type of rapid urban densification the world is experiencing, particularly in the developing world. Plans by the Chinese government, reported by the New York Times, call for the movement of 250 million rural farmers into cities over the next 12-15 years. This shift from an agrarian society to an urbanised one has caused the cities to swell to the point where daily commutes are up to two hours for every resident. In January of this year, the particulate matter (PM) levels in Beijing, a measure of air pollution, exceeded 2.5 million, similar to one of the US's worst wildfires. Nearly a quarter of these toxic fumes can be directly attributed to carbon emissions from transportation. Yet, despite these unbearable conditions the allure of the private automobile is still captivating, aspirational, and a symbol of status.
There are four remedies to combat this polluting chaos. One approach is the electrification of the automobile. Another is vehicle sharing. Third is the creation of self-drive vehicles. And the fourth is increased usage of low-energy transportation options like walking, bicycling, and use of mass transit. Each approach adopts different strategies for solving the problem.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are primarily an auto-centric, engineering approach to the problem, whereby automakers have substituted the internal combustion engine with battery powered electric motors. This dramatically increases the fuel economy of the vehicle and eliminates tailpipe emissions. The rise of Tesla Motors and their commitment to create luxury electric sports cars has created positive momentum for EVs. Now nearly every major automaker in the world has an EV in the production pipeline. The development of new Lithium-ion battery technologies with much higher energy and power density has also made EVs more competitive. Eventually, EVs will be designed specifically around new electric drivetrains such as in-wheel electric hub motors, which eliminate the need for transmissions and gearboxes, further improving both driving and environmental performance.
The world's largest car sharing program, Zipcar, based in Cambridge, near Boston, has taken a business-model approach, allowing users to rent vehicles by the hour. Users have the benefit of access to mobility whenever they need it, without the burdens of car ownership such as car depreciation, parking, insurance, tolls, and maintenance. This is only the start. In 2012, the Transportation Sustainability Research Center at UC Berkeley reported an estimated 1.7 million car-sharing members existed in 27 countries. Car sharing has obvious benefits to the city. Zipcar estimates every shared vehicle replaces up to 20 private automobiles, thus reducing total vehicle miles and land devoted to parking. Even carmakers – such as BMW, Daimler and Ford - are getting into the action with their own programmes.
Driver free
Autonomous automobiles are no longer science fiction, thanks to the initial funding efforts by the US government's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa). Tests have shown that the concept will work on real-life roads. The Urban Challenge in 2007 shifted the focus of this research to the complexities of city driving. Six teams out of 11 semifinalists finished that race, therefore validating the technology. Since then, automakers such as GM, Audi, Toyota, and others have invested the concept. The Google Driverless Car has already logged 300,000 miles on California roads without a human driver. After lobbying by Google, the states of California, Nevada, and Florida now allow driverless cars.
The development of autonomous vehicles has other benefits too. Every year some 1.25 million people around the world die every year from automobile accidents. Autonomous vehicles can use car-to-car communication to avoid accidents and will always follow the road rules. Cars could be made out of lighter materials for collision-free environment to make them much more energy efficient. Autonomous vehicles can also closely follow each other, in platoon fashion, improving synchronisation with traffic signals to avoid stop and start delays. Estimates by some leading experts state that traffic flow could improve by as much as 40-50% just by using driverless technology. That means less idling at the traffic lights, and less pollution.
The increased use of low-energy transportation options such as bicycle sharing, bus rapid transit and traditional subways are providing city dwellers with more flexible, cheaper, and less polluting options. For instance, China will be building over 87 new mass transit rail lines of nearly 2,500km (1,550 miles) of length in the next five years alone. If construction continues on this pace, then China's cities will have half of the world's metro tracks by 2050. Some novel mass transit concepts have also emerged, such as on-demand buses developed by the University of Tokyo, which replace fixed-route bus lines, by dynamically routing pick-ups and drop-offs based on user demand. These systems improve operational efficiency and reduce carbon emissions by eliminating unnecessary stops. Another new concept that has yet-to-be-proven is the 3D Express Coach, an elevated bus, which straddles over two lanes and hovers over automobile traffic.
But simply replacing a fossil fuel-burning car with an electric one – even one that can safely and efficiently drive itself and collaborate with other vehicles – will not be enough unless we adopt new use and ownership models and fundamentally change urban settlement. Rapid transit offers a partial solution, but they also have limitations. Public transit systems like subways and buses are extremely effective in moving masses of people from fixed point to fixed point. But they do not solve the first and last mile problem. Users may live too far away from transit points to walk. This problem is compounded if users have much to carry, have a physical disability, or it is simply too hot, cold, or wet. The creation of an Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand (A-MoD) network may solve this problem. Modelled after bicycle-share programmes, users will have access to a network of Lightweight Electronic Vehicles (LEVs) distributed at charging stations throughout the city. The swipe of a smart phone allows them to pick-up an electric vehicle at a charging station and drop it off at any other station.
Users can combine modes by taking a shared-autonomous LEV for short distances then transferring to any mass transit mode, finishing their trip by cycling or walking a short distance. The A-MoD network would consist of a fleet of electric bicycles, scooters, and a range of electric vehicles. This essentially forms a new mobility network for short-distance, low-speed trips that enable users to customise every single trip by selecting the appropriate vehicle for each trip segment – whether that's to work or the local grocery store. More importantly, these intermodal systems are complementary to mass transit, therefore dramatically increasing involvement in low-pollution transport schemes.
Radical re-think
Unlike bicycle share programmes that suffer from redistribution problems (such as too many bikes in some locations and none in others), the A-MoD system could simply deliver a vehicle to a user. Once the user is dropped off, the shared LEV will drive on its own to pick-up another user, or to park itself for recharging. A-MoD systems essentially act as driverless electric taxis. Experiments conducted by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at the campus of National University of Singapore, prove that autonomous pick-up and drop-off works, and the technology is economically scaleable.
A-MoD systems builds upon research conducted by the City Science Initiative at the MIT Media Lab on the CityCar, a foldable, electric, and shareable two-passenger vehicles designed for on-demand use. Again, this is not fantasy; the CityCar is on the verge of being commercially available in Europe by MIT industrial sponsors this year. The technologies to create smart sustainable cities have existed for a long time. Ferdinand Porsche developed the first hybrid vehicle to use electric motors in 1898. But in the end, technology and progressive public policy cannot do it alone, nor can new business models. It requires that we fundamentally re-think the urban structure of our cities, so that we don't separate our living and working to the point that we need motorised transportation in the first place. It requires walkable, high-density, mixed-use neighbourhoods where the needs of every resident are met with less than a 20-minute walk.
If we don't act quickly, all we need to do is visit China's megacities to glimpse our future.

Investors are trying to call a bottom in Dell.
For the second time in a week, OptionMonster's tracking programs detected unusual call volume in the beaten-down computer maker. Yesterday activity focused on the January 2015 12 calls, with a block of 6,500 contracts purchased for $1.02.
The investor has now locked in an entry price on Dell for the next 14 months. The long calls stand to generate big profits if the stock rallies, but the options will also become worthless if it doesn't move.

The problem is that the "reality" of tulpae is directly dependent on how one defines "reality". And since it is your poll, you need to let us know what that is, otherwise there is no answer. It might be "yes" in one case, "no" in another, and even "maybe" depends on one's definition of "maybe"...it might mean, "my mind is not made up", or it might mean "yes in the case of one definition, no in the case of another". That is why you are not getting takers for your poll. What do you hope to gain by our answers?

I work on a ranch so im pretty tolerable to pain.
you guys sound like me and my friends besides bone we did dumb stuff to test are pain threshold or on a dare to test if we were not afraid or bold or dumb to some people. we used a stapler to staple arms, paintball or airsoft to the face close range taking punches and kicks braking stuff with fist and head and others. Did you, brothers or friends do stuff like that too?
I work on a ranch. breaking horse, building, digging, heavy machinery.......When i break something its because i was being a BOZZ. I have scars and wounds all over meh body dude. Fun cosist of doing fun stuff not stuf that is considered not fun but fun to watch others do. Still though, All the pain receptors are gone in my hands so i can do anything with them. Me and my brother compete in who can withstand pain only when we get pain not by forcing it. When i said i broke my fingers and knuckle it was on horses halters when i punh them, punching bag, hammers and other things. the last time i punched a hard surface it was not because i was happy and yes, i broke by knuckle as well as crushing my tendon.
Plus this kinda pain im talking about is next level. Brother broke his arm and it looked like a rainbow, also swelled up. never went to the hospital and instead he put a ace bandage around it. I crushed my thumb with a large waffled hammer and blush was gushing everywhere. I let out a grunt and continued to work like it wasnt there. finger nail fell off and the thumb was split open. Best way to counter pain is by working through it, learned that from my pop. Got blood allover that roof though.
Yeah ranch work is hard work, we did landscaping and worked a lumber yard as a teen hard work but besides cuts and a jammed finger you didnt get hurt that much and toes were safe for steal toed boots all though you could cut a limb off with a saw or wood grinder. we were city kids who moved to a small town with out any thing to Do in the U.P MI to besides 4 wealers/dirt bikes, fishing and mudding was the only fun legal things to do. as yupers are crazy we did ethier dumb things wail drinking or getting into fights. but am sure if we worked on a ranch we would be to bizzy to get in much trouble as i am sure you are. LOL I also don't think any one would go as far to brake a bone for fun, just flesh. ahh you need to be careful Not to injure you hand you do ranch work your hands are your livly hood. but you did say you feel no pain in them any more but thats why i said be careful Not to injure them.

None. Broken bones sound painful
I try to drink a cup of milk EVERYDAY but I doubt it actually helps "strengthen bones"
I'm just saying~
My right thump.. I was driving Motocross in a race and was on the 1st place then my machine breaks down and a idiot crashes into my Motocrosser and my right thump gets squashed! by his Motocrosser
BUT! as you can see below.. (i'm the guy in the middle with the tire) after the race
Bubbi Bear Everywhere! ! :D
i was pretty crazy b4 i broke my first bone, and i ate it really hard numerous times, but i broke my neck in a car accident , surprisingly athe accident itself wasn't that painful, and then years after i snapped my shinbone in 2 in what apparently was a 180deg twist according to my doc but i didn't even realize when it happened so i cant quite speak to the direct pain of breaking a bone
I've had a total of 4 fractures and I'm hoping and praying that I won't have any more broken bones or dislocations.
1) Broken collar bone - from a car accident I was in, w/ my family, when I was still a baby.
Ankle dislocation & fractures - accident
2) Trimalleolar fracture (specific type of ankle fracture)
3) Torus fracture of the distal tibia
4) Compound fracture of the distal fibula
The one that hurt the most was obviously ankle dislocation & fractures. As I waited for help to arrive, as long as I didn't move & stayed as still as possible, the pain was somewhat tolerable; however, once the fire fighters arrived and tried moving me around......yeah you get the idea. I don't wanna freak people out. But I now have a whole lot of titanium (11 screws & a metal plate) in my lower leg/ankle as a constant reminder of that crap.
From what I was told at my orthopedic surgeon's office, most people usually get fractures to the upper extremities (i.e. hands, wrists, arms.
Broke my wrist when I was a wee little lad.
Never broken any bones, merely sprained my wrists though.
It's foolish to fear what we've yet to see and know. ~Itachi Uchiha
Flipped a go-cart a few years back and snapped my upper arm in two. However I was pretty lucky it was such a clean break that it was it very painful between the shock and numbness I barely felt it. Actually had to sit in the emergency waiting room at the hospital for 4 hours before they would take me in. I watched a girl who came in like an hour after me get taken in immediately because she was screaming like she was dying... she got hit relatively hard with a softball in the chest she was back out in 5 minutes. Just because I was quiet and patient the nurses didn't believe my arm was broken.. when they finally got me in they were like "Wow your arm is broken you must be pretty tough to sit there so calm." -almost an exact quote. I was so pissed haha
Anyways sorry for the rant... lol
Hello there fellow humanoids! I have returned from an alternate potato!
Broke my arm twice. Once falling off my bicycle after doing a jump and a second time playing flag football.
Both arms, and one leg.rolled bank out wagon 2 years ago. i took the wrong angle on a hill and flop i fell. then cows arnt the nicest creaters. broke a few ribs during spring round up, a city slicker came up with a tug boat horn and honkd it, we were riding green broke horses.
Ankle... same spot twice...
Wrong footing during hockey.... 2nd time jumped for volleyball lol.
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
Wow, feel like i should go into the streets and start handing out some milk. Most peoples bones are like trigs. Trigs that need some milk. MILK, wow, i want some MILK now.
Im back. How was studyville you ask? Judging by that question, you should visit.
I don't think I've ever broken a bone but ages ago when I was being chased by my bro I ran into a table and bashed my foot... Half of my foot had some massive purple bruise over it and my middle toe on my right foot has been kinda bent ever since then >.> I don't know if it broke or dislocated or what but it hurt a lot at the time...
I've never had anything break myself really which is lucky since I have fallen a lot in the past :] But once when I was like 8 at school in PE I saw someone break their arm really badly O__O I'm glad I haven't had to go through that...
I guess I am generally careful, but when I was skateboarding a few months ago I fell twice within 10 mins and I never wear pads or anything so that was bad -.- I guess now I'd be more likely to wear protective gear but I'm not overly careful overall XD

Depends on the bone. Fingers and toes you barely even notice, ribs are annoying but really not any worse than just being bruised. Iv heard collar bones hurt and legs/arms can hurt if its near the joint.
Edit: Noses dont really hurt much either.
Maths is hard
I have actually broken no bones! And thank goodness too.
I suppose it's that adventurous attitude of mine all cooped up inside of me so I don't have to suffer pain.

MPD Run to Benefit Abdominal Cancer Fund a Success
October 2nd, 2012 by milwaukeepolice
Hundreds showed up Saturday, September 29, 2012 for a run that took big steps to conducting research into the causes of abdominal cancer. At the end of the day, $10,000 was raised to help in the fight.
The run was a benefit to raise money for the the Sebastian Raclaw Abdominal Cancer Research Fund. The goal is to discover a cure within Sebastian's lifetime. Sebastian, a Milwaukee Police Sergeant, was diagnosed with Pseudomyxoma-Peritonea or Stage 4 cancer of the abdominal cavity. Sebastian is 35 years old and has 16 years with the Milwaukee Police Department. He is married to Angela Castillo-Raclaw, an elmentary school teacher, and has two beautiful children, Noah who is 21 months old and Isabella who is 4 years old.
Sebastian has chosen not to accept direct financial support, but has created a research foundation through the Medical College of Wisconsin. The two doctors treating Sebastian at the Medical College of Wisconsin have agreed to limit all funds received to the following:- researching therapies for this type of rare cancer- study novel chemo therapies with micro particles- perform clinical trials with new therapies- create a regional symposium to facilitate collaboration with the leading experts in this rare and incurable cancer that affects one person in a million.
MPD turned out in full support for this cause. Special thanks go out to the Shielded Hearts organization for the water stops, coffee and cookies. Michelle Hagen did a great job at the T-shirt table and Sgt. Shannon Seymer-Tabaska stayed up late sorting race bibs and organizing the paperwork.
The honor guard and displays from the Neighborhood Task Force were a hit and Assistant Chief Patrick Mitchell did a great job as the event emcee. The recruits as well as the recruit staff ran well and made us proud.
We also recognize Police Officer Kieran Sawyer who organized the event. He spent many hours making this a success.
Take a look at some of the great photos here:

Matthias Sammer says Bayern Munich need to display more presence on the pitch if they are to win silverware this season.
The Bavarians defeated Basel 3-0 in a friendly match on Saturday, but the club's sporting director believes they must do more than simply churn out results.
"Currently, there are a few things that I don't like. Things regarding the team's presence," the 45-year-old told ZDF.
"It's only about our own aspirations. If they are average, then that's okay. But our aspirations are not average.
"When we solely rely on our results, then that would be the wrong conclusion. We shouldn't, especially at a phase where we're equipped with a lot of confidence, disregard paying attention to detail," he added in an interview with Bild.
"Against Basel, there were a few things noticeable that we can't afford during league matches."
Bayern are clear leaders at the top of the Bundesliga, with a nine-point advantage over second-placed Bayer Leverkusen.

Hi Jay,Thanks for the post.Yes, there are new pieces being made, and sold on Ebay as Polie that are new. So new I see them at the glass gallery at the Mall here in Orlando all the time. They sell the cut top vases, the pitcher shapes, geode bowls, everything. That is 1 of the reasons I no longer buy the sommerso pieces on Ebay. There are of course those that are real, but I'd rather not mess with them at all. Just my preference. can you tell us which pieces you have had the longest?Javier
Hi again Jay,Dont be discouraged by what I said. Just pointing out that there are new pieces out there in the same forms. Hopefully some of our other members can put their 2 cents in about your pieces. Javier
The only one that might have been produced at Seguso Vetri d'Arte, of which Flavio Poli was principle designer, is photo number 31. The rest are too "sloppy" to be produced by that company, whose trademark was near perfection. Please don't be offended by this comment - you're pieces are very pretty. However, the Poli pieces have extremely clean, pure lines and very architectural forms. They just don't look like your items.Laura

JAMIE DONALDSON REELED in red-hot Justin Rose to win the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship on Sunday.
The 37-year-old Welshman poked his nose in front going into the back nine and he held firm, going up against the hotly-favoured world No.5 to record just the second win of his professional career.
He came in with a final round of 68 for a 14-under total of 274.
Rose and Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark were joint second on 13 under after rounds of 71 and 69 respectively with Ricardo Santos of Portugal fourth a further two strokes back after a 68.
The victory was Donaldson's second after he won the Irish Open last year in what was his 255th European Tour event. His second took just 13 more tournaments.
It also means he will break into the world top 30 for the first time ahead of his Masters debut in April.
"It was an awesome field – one of the best fields I've ever played in. At the start of the week I played the Pro-Am and thought this golf course is just too difficult," said Donaldson, who was told by one doctor several years ago to give up golf due to chronic back pain.
"I said to the guys in the Pro-Am if I could somehow get a top-10 out of this week, it would be a miracle. And to win it, it's hilarious!
"It was a tough field and a brutal golf course."
Rose started the day two strokes clear of the field, but quickly came under pressure with Olesen the first to show, drawing level with the 32-year-old Englishman at the fifth as he birdied and Rose had a bogey.
But the fast-rising Dane came to grief at the next, a drive into deep rough, resulting in a wild second into a bush, a penalty drop and a double bogey six. He was unable to get his nose back in front again after that.
Veteran Englishman David Howell, a former world top tenner fallen on hard times due to a combination of back problems and loss of form, then edged ahead with a scintillating front nine of 32.
But his challenge collapsed in tragic fashion at the 13th where he somehow contrived to four-putt from five feet to plummet down the leaderboard.
That left Rose and Donaldson out in front, two strokes clear of the field.
Donaldson then eased ahead by sinking 12-foot birdie putts at the 14th and 15th with Rose cutting the gap to one stroke with a birdie of his own at the 14th.
Two holes later though the Ryder Cup star's second to the par-four 16th went way right and was lucky not to end up in the water. But he was unable to get down in two from there and Donaldson had a two-stroke cushion.
The Welshman opened the door slightly by missing a five-footer for par at the last, but neither Rose nor Olesen were able to grab the birdie they needed to force a play off.
For Rose, the runners-up finish will feel like a lost opportunity in a tournament that saw the world's top two golfers – Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods – fail to make the cut.
"Obviously I ran with the lead the whole way and it would have been lovely to finish it off wire-to-wire.
"It's hard to close out tournaments. You just can't sit still and expect it to happen.
"Three seconds now in the United Arab Emirates but keep chipping away at it."
Olesen has again underlined the potential he has shown to become one of Europe's top players in the next few years.

Rang one of the local LBS's today (not my BESTEST buddies Lifecycles), one in town and asked if he happened to have any spare "Shimano 10spd cassette spacer rings".. the 1mm spacer...he said, all our cassettes dont come with them...HUH ? How can that be, every ultegra cassette I've ever bought has the spacer.
He said "bring the part in and we'll see if we have them"... I dont have the part, thats the problem After that he showed little interest and was glad when I said "thankyou, don't worry"...
C'mon, how can an LBS not know spacers come with Road Shimano Cassettes !!!!

Not an expert but will a copper washer do as a temporary fix till the right spacer can be obtained most likely from your local plumber supply shop soft enough to conform to shape but hard enough to keep spacer distance they look like flattened "o"rings but made of copper

Earth maps are very popular online because of the evolution in technology that allows internet users to search every corner of the world. Access to the world has never been like today. With the help of satellite technology, earth maps are available for browsing from huge internet databases and can be seen with special software or special sites.
Since this new advance in space photography, a geography book has become rather irrelevant. Millions of maps are available on the internet and can be downloaded in matter of seconds and earthslot.org is here to help you find them. The best thing is many of them are 3D maps. These types of earth maps imply a series of tools that can help the user to rotate the image, tilt its angles, in addition to the option of zooming and panning. 3D maps can almost create a sensation of realism for the viewer and are excellent tools for learning. Today, almost 70 cities from all over the world can be viewed in 3D maps. These cities include the most important ones from the United States, some in Canada, France and the United Kingdom. Other cities have chosen to map in 3D their most important touristic attractions, like the Colosseum in Rome.
World geography, despite the fact that it's not subject to major change, is not the same today as it was in the past. We have access to resources that offer us exceptional perspectives. For example, we can virtually go to Paris, without actually setting foot in the real city. We can browse the streets with the help of 3D maps and feel like we are actually there. 3D maps can help us see the corner of our street or see the life on a remote island.
Geography software available today can display images of the earth at incredible resolutions. They can also create earth maps with extreme accuracy and precision. Users can see cities and buildings from a bird's eye view, meaning that they will look perpendicularly down on the objects. Earth maps in 3D can show structures, like bridges, that are being modeled by a 3D modeling program.
Earth geography has expanded since the release of 3D because now users can see oceans on their computer screens. They can actually zoom below the surface of the water and view what happens under the waves. This is an extremely important development for scientists who have a different and improved access to earth geography.

One dilemma facing many aspiring vegetable gardeners is sub-prime soil. Compacted, clay soil is not uncommon in Kentuckiana, but it is especially common in newer developments. One way to off-set the problem is to employ a system of raised beds. Raised beds are practical for many reasons and they are not just for the clay-challenged.

want to go to every World Cup after that, but I'll pass on the
next two that's for sure.

There is soooooo much money in the World Cup. It's not out of the realm of possibility that 2018 will be cancelled, but I highly doubt it. The only thing comparable was the 1980/1984 Olympic games. The Olympics are big bucks as well, but at that time it wasn't the cash cow that it is today. I was in Moscow in 1984, and the city was all dolled up for the games that few attended.
But there is a lot of money in politics as well, and political forces may drive many countries away.

There's no way World Cup gets cancelled. As with corruption,
no country (or very few) is corruption-less...

Yeah okay its exceedingly unlikely that 2018 will be
cancelled, but its time the world grows a pair. It
wasn't so long ago that Malaysian Flight 370 was
blown out of the sky. Where's the outrage? Putin
doesn't even bother to deny complicity. A younger
me would have demanded that sports not be mixed up
in such affairs, based on some notion of purity or
fellowship or inspiration or I don't know what. I
now see that as complete BS. If world events
continue to trend as they are, I hope I have the
will to substantially ignore WC18 as much as
So I say, but I didn't let the widespread corruption
associated with Brazil 2014 impair my enjoyment of
watching nearly every match.

BRICK, N.J. (AP) - December 29, 2012 --Authorities say a man working for a private company that was cleaning up debris spawned by Superstorm Sandy has been killed in a job-related accident.
Brick police say that 69-year-old Paul Friedauer of Long Branch had just walked on to a roadway to help with traffic control when he was struck by a car around 8:20 a.m. Friday.
Friedauer, who was working for Jackson-based Glenside Equipment Co., was taken to a hospital, where he died a short time later.
The car that hit Friedauer was driven by Karl Scheufler, a 42-year-old Brick resident. He was not injured in the accident and has not been charged.
The accident remains under investigation.

SPOKANE, Wash. – A four-match winning streak came to an end for the Puget Sound women's soccer team as it fell 1-0 to Whitworth on Sunday. The Loggers (5-3-1, 4-1-1 NWC) fell for the first time in conference play despite holding a shot advantage in the match.
The Loggers outshot the Pirates (6-4-1, 6-0-1 NWC) 9-3 in the first half and 12-7 in the match. However, it was the Pirates that were able to sneak in a goal. Tiara Pajimola tallied her sixth goal of the season as she dribbled in past two defenders and scored in the 56th minute. Kristin Grant earned an assist on the play.
Kara Merfeld made three saves for the Loggers but allowed just her first goal of the season. The Loggers put five of their 12 shots on goal but Andrea Stump was there to keep each of them out of the net and preserve the shutout for Whitworth.
The Loggers return home next Saturday for a noon matchup with Lewis & Clark.

Andrew Luck might have the NFL on a string, but that doesn't mean he has the Internet at his fingertips.
Smart quarterback? Without question.
Smartphone? Slow down there, Wozniak.
"I still have a flip phone," Luck told The Times this week, calling from that digital dinosaur. "It served me well and continues to serve me well. If it worked the past four years since high school, why change it now?"
It's a fittingly retro device for a guy who's making it feel like the late 1990s all over again in Indianapolis.
Same energy and promise from a young quarterback picked No. 1 overall. Same type of gym rat — like Peyton Manning, the son of a former NFL quarterback — who can't get his hands on enough video cut-ups.

Malaysia: Women told to avoid lipstick and high-heeled shoes to "preserve dignity"
The party's brand of Islam - mocked by Malaysian liberals as "Taliban lite" - has already decreed that supermarkets must have separate checkout lines for men and women. Couples caught sitting too close together on park benches are hunted down by the city's moral enforcers and fined up to £285 in the city's sharia courts.
A directive on dress a decade ago decreed that Muslim women must wear non-transparent headscarves that cover the chest, along with loose-fitting, long-sleeved blouses. There are fines of up to £75 and as many as 20 women are punished for breaking the rule every month.
Azman Mohamad Daham, a spokesman for the municipality, said: "Our minimum guideline is they must wear headscarves." The goal of the modesty drive was to prevent rape and safeguard the women's dignity, he said.

Strategies, Business Models, and Management ModelAndersen, Kim Normann; Medaglia, Rony (Frederiksberg, 2009)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: European Commission funded research is driven by the objective of integrating excellent research in Europe by using public funding to gain momentum and sustainability. This paper presents the results of an analysis of the management patterns of 20 Networks of Excellence. Our analysis indicates an absence of business management competences in the project consortia and unclear criteria for sustainability. Sustainability strategies appear to be ad hoc driven and orchestrated by the project monitoring events, rather than built in the consortia management structure. The paper advocates for bringing onboard conventional management models along with strategic positioning, business models, and business plans. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7866

Refashioning luxury goods through co-creationWolny, Julia; Hansen, Rina (Geneva, 2011)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Sustainable fashion in all its guises, has been the preoccupation of many a recent campaign, article, research and initiative. Not only is the industry increasingly aware of the need to cut its environmental impact, but also consumers and consumer organisations are putting pressures on various parts of the supply chain to comply with environmental and ethical practices. Yet, from a management perspective, the economic impact of these demands can lead to conflicting priorities. In particular, the basic marketing concept of product lifecycle indicates the product's gradual diminishing monetary returns through time. In this paper we will be analysing a case of a refashioning of products that are either obsolete or unsalable and making a commercially viable collection. In 2008 MCM collaborated with the London College of Fashion to reuse, recycle and redesign a number of end-of-line, dated handbags into new objects of desire with a new lifecycle. This case will form a basis of analysing the validity of such a product re-development tactic for other luxury brands. The paper will provides a blueprint for future re-fashioning initiatives by reflecting on the value inherent in the process for both users and firms alike. The paper contributes to the understanding of recycling and sustainable fashion from a theoretical perspective that links together the product lifecycle, co-creation and value creation theories. The main theoretical implication of the work concerns the framing of recycling and refashioning with the context of those linked concepts.According to this contribution, refashioning can enable value creation from obsolete products, especially if a co-design with consumers or users forms part of the proposition. On the managerial side, this study recognisees the economic drivers of business and highlights the commercial, not only environmental and societal benefits of recycling within the luxury sector. The recycled products stand in direct opposition to counterfeiting, which is evident in the uniqueness for refashioned products leading to the development of new objects of desire.

A unique approach to learning...
Our mission is to help children develop a positive self-image through the improvement of the critical learning skills necessary to be successful learners.
Our vision is to be an essential part of a community that values and encourages all children and their unique abilities to learn.
Imagine you're six years old. Your classmates can read just fine, but you can barely sound out a word. Or maybe you're 12, and you find your teacher's instructions confusing. You try to concentrate, but you just get lost in a tangle of meaningless, jumbled-up words or symbols.
You're not alone. About 20% of the population share this kind of experience. Sadly, many struggle through life without ever finding help.
Fortunately, the Fort Wayne Center for Learning is here. We're a not-for-profit organization founded by parents and dedicated to helping children with learning differences. We do more than teach kids how to read, write, or do math. We help them learn how to learn.
How do we begin? We start by meeting with the child's family — asking a few questions and doing a lot of listening. If we feel we can help, we administer a series of tests to identify the child's learning differences. Then we work together — one-on-one — patiently showing each child how to recognize his/her own challenges, and how to work through them using proven processing skills and techniques.
It can be an intensive program, but it's one that works. Studies of our students show measurable improvement in reading level scores and overall academic performance.
Our programs are flexible, too. Sessions can be arranged for full days, partial days, or after-school instruction — whatever the child needs.
And what about cost? For many families, that's the real stumbling block. Intensive therapy at privately owned centers can be very, very costly. But the Fort Wayne Center for Learning is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Our fees are based on a sliding scale, making our services affordable to everyone. No child has ever been turned away for inability to pay.
FWCL is a program that really works, right here at home.

The entire film is a seduction, one that draws us into a vanished world where Count Leo Tolstoy and his wife of 48 years, Countess Sofya, come to joyous, tempestuous life in a matched pair of magnificent performances by Christopher Plummer and Helen Mirren.

A grandly entertaining historical drama.
Every second Helen Mirren is on-screen in The Last Station is a study in peerless talent.

Iffy for 16+
Mature Tolstoy biopic recounts his conflicted last days.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this period drama recounting Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy's last months, while powerful and well acted, isn't too likely to appeal to kids. It has moments of both intense squabbling and gentle loving between the writer and his wife. Many of their fights are loud and painfully honest (though not venomous), and younger teens may find them disturbing. There's also a sex scene with partial nudity (a woman's breasts) and a little swearing (though "bitch" is about as strong as it gets).
Messages: This romantic period film delves into serious questions about loyalty to family, country, and self; there's also much discussion about the importance of loving and being loved and how that may be the path to salvation.
Role models: Tolstoy is almost saintly here, though only just. Though his love for his wife -- and vice versa -- is unwavering, he wrestles with larger questions that may supersede his family, much to his wife's chagrin. Though she seems quarrelsome, it's apparent that she acts out of concern and love for him. Valentin is the prism through which Tolstoy's life and works are viewed, and his struggle to comprehend them is understandable and commendable.
Violence: Lots of loud quarrels between a husband and his wife -- they adore each other, but they can't seem to agree on what to do about one major decision. A despondent woman attempts to drown herself in a lake.
Sex: A woman propositions a man she barely knows; later, they have sex (only her breasts are visible). Some candid conversations about sex and marriage and celibacy. The Tolstoys seduce each other with sexual banter.
Language: Nothing stronger than "tighta--," "bitch," and "moron."
Consumerism: Not an issue
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not an issue

AUSTIN, Texas — As you read this, Austin's South by Southwest festival is over for 2012. The "Welcome SXSW!" signs have been peeled from club facades, movie marquees, hotels and gas stations. The handbills advertising movies, bands and the newest interactive apps are gone for another year.
The streets around the Austin Convention Center are reopened to traffic. There are parking spaces. There are be parks. The exclusive parties are memories — if the attendees can remember them.
Austin, Texas, is just plain Austin, Texas, once again.
In other words, it's safe to book your vacation.
I've looked at Austin from both sides now — the "just" Austin,...

A Western New York woman won a progressive jackpot of $544,908 this past weekend at Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel. The lucky pull came at 11:25 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22, on a "MegaJackpots" "Wheel of Fortune" "3x 4x 5x" dollar slot machine, located near the center of the main gaming floor.
The player, identified as Jean D. of Cheektowaga, placed a maximum bet of $3 and hit the 3x, 4x and 5x "Wheel of Fortune" symbols on the payout line.
The progressive amount is linked to games at multiple Native American-owned casinos in the Northeast region. According to Chuck Kilroy, general manager at Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel, the progressive jackpots add to the excitement - and even larger jackpots are available to be won.
"Slot machines provide entertainment with a chance to win, and with our ability to link to progressive jackpots because of our size, they also offer life-changing moments at Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel," Kilroy said. "We have a number of progressive jackpots right now on our slots, including $1.26 million on 'Star Wars,' and $1.08 million and $1.27 million on 'Wheel of Fortune' - one of them being a penny denomination. We congratulate Jean on her big win, and it's a reminder to guests that jackpots can happen to anyone at any time."
Jean D. was visiting Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel with her husband and said she was stunned when she realized she had won. She plans to use her winnings to help her children pay off college loans.
"MegaJackpots" games, including "Wheel of Fortune" slots, are created by International Game Technology.

Crying as she testified, a former scheduler for Anne Arundel County Executive John R. Leopold told a judge Friday that she emptied her boss' urinary catheter bag several times during the workday and went along with planting signs for his 2010 re-election campaign because she feared for her job.
"It was my experience that you don't tell him no because then he considered you unloyal," said Patricia Medlin, a 15-year county employee. "People lost their jobs. I've seen it."
Medlin was among the first witnesses in the trial of the Republican county executive, who is accused of using county police officers and staff members to perform personal and political tasks for him.
Anne Arundel police Cpl. Joseph Pazulski, a member of Leopold's taxpayer-funded security detail, testified that he, too, planted campaign signs while on duty. He said Leopold, who was recovering from back surgery, told him it was OK as long the two were together.
Leopold, 69, is fighting four counts of misconduct in office and one count of fraudulent misappropriation by a fiduciary. He has waived his right to a jury trial; his case will be decided by Circuit Judge Dennis M. Sweeney.
Leopold is accused of using police officers assigned to his security detail to take him to a bowling alley parking lot for sexual liaisons with a county employee, and to keep the woman from meeting his live-in girlfriend. He is also alleged to have directed officers to drive him around as he pulled an opponent's campaign signs from the ground and to compile dossiers on political adversaries.
In opening statements Friday, the prosecution and the defense painted starkly contrasting portraits of the two-term county executive.
State Prosecutor Emmet C. Davitt told Sweeney that Leopold used his office to intimidate employees into doing his bidding. He called Leopold's actions an "egregious waste of taxpayer dollars" and said the county executive knew he was breaking the law.
"It was knowing, it was willful, and it was intentional," he said.
But Leopold attorney Bruce Marcus described his client as a lifelong public servant, a frugal man who returned pay raises to the county. He said Leopold soldiered on despite crippling back pain and surgeries that left him dependent on the urinary catheter and using morphine for pain management.
Marcus said there are no rules, laws or regulations that prohibit the actions of which Leopold is accused. He said the "tabloid-like" allegations might reflect Leopold's "poor judgment" and "lack of social grace," but they did not rise to the level of a crime.
Marcus said Leopold didn't know that his police detail was earning overtime pay.
The cost of his security topped $250,000 in 2010, a $45,000 increase over 2009, according to information obtained by The Baltimore Sun under a Maryland Public Information Act request.
Overtime accounted for most of the increase. Leopold's "big mistake," Marcus said, was ordering an inquiry into the overtime amounts. It was then, Marcus said, that the officers joined together to get their recollections straight just in time to offer testimony against him.
Leopold might also have antagonized police with a bill to gut binding arbitration for law enforcement unions, Marcus said.
Also testifying Friday were former County Executive Janet S. Owens, who requested a police detail when she took office in 1998, former police Chief P. Thomas Shanahan, who created it, and police Lt. Katherine Goodwin, its first member.
Owens, who ran for re-election in 2002 and unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for state comptroller in 2006, said she never asked members of her police detail to do campaign work.
She said she directed her police drivers to keep track of mileage as they took her to political events so her campaign could reimburse the county.
Goodwin said she drove Owens to campaign fundraisers in her role on the detail. But she said she never touched a campaign sign, picked up a political donation or compiled a dossier on a political adversary.
The police detail stopped accompanying Leopold regularly in early 2011. It was formally disbanded in August.
Pazulski is expected to return to the witness stand when the trial resumes Tuesday. More officers from the detail were expected to follow.
Leopold waived his right to a jury trial on Thursday. His attorneys declined to explain their reasoning, but the move often signals that complex legal questions will play an important role in the defense.
If convicted of the fraud charge, Leopold could be sentenced to up to five years in prison. Judges have broad leeway on sentences for misconduct in office because the charge carries no specific penalty.
Leopold has remained in office while under indictment.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Andrew Luck threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Vick Ballard at 4:49 of overtime and the surprising Indianapolis Colts beat the Tennessee Titans 19-13 on Sunday.
The Colts (4-3) have beaten Tennessee in seven of eight overall and seven of the past 10 in Nashville.
The Colts did it with Luck leading a pair of 80-yard touchdown drives. The top pick overall in April's draft set up Delone Carter's 1-yard TD run that tied it up at 13 with 3:24 left in the fourth quarter.
In overtime, Ballard capped the drive, taking a screen pass and going up the left side where he jumped toward the goal line for the TD.
The Titans (3-5) ended a two-game winning streak.
