Rich Editor For Wiki Markup
Project Lead : Harshana Eranga Martin (IRC:hemartin)
Mentor: David Green
This project is part of Google Summer of Code 2010 program.
Mylyn WikiText project provides extensible framework and tools for parsing, editing and presenting lightweight markup. As an important component of the WikiText project, Wiki Text Editor provides the ability to create and edit wiki files written in several wiki markup languages such as MediaWiki, Textile, Confluence, TracWiki and TWiki. But the problem with the existing wiki text editor is, users need to have knowledge about these wiki mark-ups or they have to use the cheat sheets when they are using the editor. This makes the existing wiki text editor less user friendly and less usable. This project aims to provide a Rich Wiki Text editor such as WYSIWYG editor which can parse multiple wiki markup languages and HTML so that the wiki text editor users do not need to have a prior knowledge about the wiki language mark-ups.
- A WYSIWYG style editor with a DOM based backing model which is capable of parsing, editing and presenting wiki markup languages and HTML.
- This editor will be able to use in other SWT projects as well since it does not have dependencies with Eclipse Mylyn project.
- A proper documentations guide for users on how to use the tool set and documentation guide for developers on set of APIs, extension points.

Description: This paring knife is a perfect choice for detail tasks - from taking the eyes out of potatoes to removing stems from tomatoes. The short, thin blade combines control and precision.
Yoshikane's Suminagashi Traditional Hocho are each individually handmade. He begins hand forging each piece with a V2S carbon steel core (hagane). Jigane (outer layers) are made by repeatedly folding together layers of different types of steels, creating a unique "wood pattern" on the side of the knife called suminagashi or damascus. V2S comes from Takefu, is easy to sharpen, and holds an exceptional edge. The blade is tempered to Rockwell c63-64. The time consuming forging process imparts a visual tension to the blade and a brilliant sharpness to the long lasting cutting edge.
The blade is distal tapered for optimal balance and has an extremely thin, keen edge for the highest performance. Because the blade is forged from carbon steels, these knives must be dried after use to prevent rust or tarnish. We recommend using camellia oil for easier care.
The ambidextrous, half-octagonal handle is formed from ho wood, a close relative of magnolia. The handle has front and rear buffalo horn ferrules. Each blade comes razor sharp.

Liberty suspends 2012 rushing leader
Lynchburg, VA – Liberty University running back Aldreakis Allen, the team's leading rusher last season, has been suspended from the program for a violation of team policy, coach Turner Gill announced Tuesday.
Student privacy laws prevent Gill or other university officials to comment or provide additional details regarding the matter.
Allen, from Colbert, Ga., led Liberty and ranked No. 2 in the Big South Conference with 1,019 rushing yards on 160 carries and scored 11 total touchdowns last season.
Liberty, which is currently in its spring practice workouts, finished with a 6-5 record and earned a share of the conference title.

Comparing Parser Construction Techniques
Anyway I hope this paper might be interesting to some people reading my blog. The paper comes with quite some code examples and it's probably not a very hard read. So you might consider it a small tutorial on parser construction techniques (or even learn some Parsec while you're at it :) ).
My paper can be found here at the website of the University of Twente.
The accompanying code examples can be found here. If someone would really appreciate it, I might consider writing some more documentation.
As you might have noticed blog posts were a bit scarce the last weeks, because of my silly ambition of taking 3 instead of 2 courses :P. Anyway, I'm liking the pace but my side activities suffer a bit, so I'll probably switch back after next period.
(People waiting for the extended state monad implementation: I haven't given up yet!)

Could you give a link to a description of "tinadic parsing"?ReplyDelete
Hey Artyom,ReplyDelete
You could of course look at my paper for a concise description of Tinadic Parsing. One other source is the thesis of Ruben Rorije:
Seeing that Tinadic Parsing sadly is still not published there are no other sources.
One possibility though, if you're really interested, would be to send an email to Jan Kuper (of University Twente).
Thanks a lot, the thesis is interesting in itself. :)ReplyDelete

US Military Admits No One Died Because Of Manning's Leaks
from the right,-so... dept
The retired general added that some of these contacts could not be found, others had died before the WikiLeaks disclosures, and others had been insurgents rather than cooperators with coalition forces.The report also notes that while, in the past, some have claimed that an Afghani man killed by the Taliban was a result of those leaks "the supposed informant the Taliban claimed to have executed was not in fact named in the leaked materials." In other words, all the talk of people dying because of his leaks? Not true. Yet why do we trust the government every time there's a leak when they insist that everyone's lives are at risk?
Carr acknowledged that none of the names of Iraqi and Afghan contacts appeared in the original Arabic.
To this point, Manning's military defenders, Maj. Thomas Hurley, asked: "We don't share an alphabet with either of those countries, do we, Sir?"
"No," Carr replied.
Hurley also prompted Carr to concede that Iraqi and Afghan nationals tend not to be "not as plugged in" as Westerners.

2.4 Use of Priesthood Authority
Receiving Authority
For information about ordaining brethren to priesthood offices, see 20.7. For information about the process of calling, sustaining, and setting apart members to serve in Church callings, see chapter 19.
Delegating Authority
Priesthood leaders can delegate authority by assigning others to assist them in fulfilling a calling. For information on delegating, see 3.3.4.
Exercising Priesthood Authority Righteously
The priesthood should be used to bless the lives of others. Effective priesthood leaders preside in love and kindness. They do not try to force their will upon others. Rather, they counsel with others and try to come to a consensus through revelation. The Lord has said that the power of the priesthood cannot be used except in righteousness (see D&C 121:36). The proper use of the priesthood is by persuasion, long-suffering, gentleness, meekness, sincere love, and kindness (see D&C 121:36, 41–42). If a man tries to abuse priesthood power, "the heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn, Amen to the priesthood or the authority of that man" (D&C 121:37).
Presiding Councils
Councils provide a means for leaders to come together in unity and faith to collectively seek the Lord's will. Councils also provide an opportunity to coordinate the work of quorums and auxiliaries. Examples of presiding councils at the local level are stake presidencies, stake councils, bishoprics, and ward councils. For information on how councils function, see 4.1.
Magnifying Priesthood Callings
Priesthood holders magnify their callings as they minister in their own homes and to other Saints and as they conscientiously fulfill assigned responsibilities. The Lord counseled, "Let every man learn his duty, and to act in the office in which he is appointed, in all diligence" (D&C 107:99). Priesthood holders magnify their callings as they serve with diligence, teach with faith and testimony, and lift, strengthen, and nurture convictions of righteousness in the lives of those for whom they have responsibility.

Here's one ranking Gov. Rick Perry probably won't tout as he tries to poach businesses from California: Texas cities continue to lag in an annual study of literacy rates.
Only Austin at No. 23 cracked the top 25 in the 2012 study of literacy resources by John Miller, president of Central Connecticut State University.
Fort Worth inched up two spots to No. 52 while Plano and Dallas climbed to Nos. 45 and 47.
But then again, other than No. 11 San Francisco and No. 15.5 Oakland, California didn't fare all that well in the rankings of 76 cities.
In the battle for the bottom, Texas and California cities owned the last seven spots, including Fresno (70), San Antonio (71), Anaheim, (72), El Paso (73), Stockton (74), Corpus Christi (75) and Bakersfield (76).
The two rival states' biggest cities, Houston and Los Angeles, were tied at a lackluster No. 60.5.
The annual survey of cities of at least 250,000 people focuses on six indicators of literacy: library resources, newspaper circulation, bookstores, publishing resources, educational attainment and Internet resources.
Topping the chart was Washington, D.C., followed by Seattle, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Denver and St. Paul, Minn.
The back-of-the-pack rankings for Texas cities come as no surprise to Peggy Rudd, who recently retired as director of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, which provides support for 560 public libraries statewide.
You get what you pay for, she said.
"The problem is, public libraries are so underfunded and reclamation costs a hell of a lot more than doing it right the first time," she said.
"I guarantee you we're at the bottom or close to it when it comes to spending. It's one of those situations: Thank God for Mississippi because without them we could be in last place. It's sad but true," said Rudd, who saw the Legislature cut funding for the library and archives by 64 percent two years ago.
The cuts included $14 million in state support for local libraries, she said.
Actually, Texas is sitting in the last row next to Tennessee and Mississippi when it comes to per capita funding for libraries, according to the Institute of Museum and Library Services in Washington, D.C.
In 2010, Texas spent $19.54 per capita on public libraries, just ahead of Tennessee ($16.65) and Mississippi ($16.29).
By comparison, Washington, D.C., spent $68.15 per capita, followed by Illinois ($65.23) and Ohio ($59.75). Nationally, the average was $37.97.
California finished at No. 33, spending $33.37, $13.83 more than Texas.
But it's not all about the money.
Texans also score low when it comes to actually using public libraries, according to the institute.
The state ranked 48th with 3.44 library visits per capita, just a smidgen ahead of No. 51 Mississippi at 3.34 visits. New Hampshire was No. 1 with 8.18 visits per capita, while California was 35th at 4.63.
In the 2012 literacy study, Fort Worth's and Dallas' highest rankings were No. 16.5 in Internet resources. Austin was No. 6.
The category includes the number of Internet book orders, the number of households owning an e-book reader, and the number of unique visitors and Web page views at the city's Internet newspaper. Fort Worth ranked No. 37.5 in newspaper circulation.
Oddly, Plano ranked No. 1 in educational attainment but only No. 72.5 in newspaper circulation and tied for the bottom with 18 cities, including Arlington, for Internet resources.
Rudd is not optimistic about a Texas turnaround on libraries or literacy.
"The Legislature is talking about more cuts," she said. "To me, it is so shortsighted. If you really want to improve education in Texas, why would you ignore the resource that has 560 outlets scattered across the state that are perfectly prepared to address the problem of literacy?
"Yet the Legislature does ignore them and look where we are."

HAPPY TRAILSAs we move into a new year, some big changes are taking place. After careful thought and consideration, Blankspace will be closing its doors as of March 15th, 2010.
Back in 2006 we (Jason Byers and Kerri Johnson) were given a great opportunity to take over the artist run building located at 6608 San Pablo Ave. & following in the foot steps of our predecessor Lucky Tackle Gallery, we were excited to open Blankspace on March 18th. It has been a great 4 years and we are proud to have produced many thought provoking, cutting edge exhibitions, but now the time has come to make changes. Though we will miss the actual gallery space, we will not miss the ever increasing rent, badly leaking roof, drafty walls and general disintegration of the building that has been the home of Blankspace and its founders.
We are extremely thankful to all of you for your support and to all of the amazing artists that we were able to work with over the last 4 years. We look forward to an equally exciting and venturesome future and hope that you will continue to follow and support us as we embark on these new projects.
Thank you,
Kerri & Jason
Kerri Johnson will be shifting her energies to working with BayVAN (Bay Area Visual Arts Network) and the BayVAN off site gallery's along with new partners Nicole Neditch and Brook Baird.
As partner in BayVAN and co-curator of their of site Nomadic Curatorial projects, Kerri will continue to exhibit strong, cutting edge art work from up and coming Bay Area artists and to cultivate relationships with rising talent. She will also continue to work with many of the great artists that she has exhibited while curating Blankspace.
Jason Byers will happily be focusing on his own art career and upcoming exhibits, and working on movie sets and commercials...making a ten second appearance in the movie MILK..don't blink you will miss him! www.jasonbyers.net
For those of you that love the Blankspace shop, fear not, Kerri has opened called Marion and Rose's Workshop in Old Oakland, CA. check it out..
The blankspacegallery.com website will remain active as a great archive to all the great exhibitions and events we have produced over the years.
**You will continue to receive emails for BayVAN and Marion and Rose's Workshop, if you would like to be taken off the list please email firstname.lastname@example.com with "remove from email list" in the subject line.

Captain's Report
Tested by Capt. Vince DanielloIn the past, when I went snow skiing my goal was as many fast, hard runs as I could squeeze into a day. Over time I mellowed. I still ski hard, but have learned to appreciate a relaxing break between runs. Serious participation in watersports is no different. For those who enjoy their time inside the boat as much as their time behind the boat, Malibu offers the Sunscape Sport V series. It's like the summertime version of your favorite ski lodge.The smallest of Malibu's luxurious Sport Vs, the Sunscape 21 LSV does not compromise skiability. Built with the same SV23 Diamond hull as her professional grade sisters, some would say she is the perfect size ski boat. At only 2900 pounds, slalom wakes are extremely smooth, yet the company's Wedge and MLS options quickly convert her into an aggressive wakeboard boat. (See the article for our test of the Wakesetter 21 XTi for more information about these innovative systems.) The biggest difference between the Sport V and the rest of Malibu's line, the V-drive propulsion system places the engine at the stern of the boat, rather than in the middle. This creates a spacious center seating area for warm interaction between family or friends. Malibu has (up-scaled) the interior too. Kick back and close your eyes in the hand sewn, heated driver's seat and let the forced air heater warm your toes on a cool morning. Remind you of that cozy chair by the fireplace? Other luxuries include a hand sewn upholstered dash and an optional hot water shower. Special attention is given to reducing engine noise, (for a totally relaxing experience). The huge lounge wraps around three quarters of the cockpit, and includes a removable snack table. The rear facing section of the lounge lifts for access to a cavernous storage compartment beneath the windshield, intended to keep all wakeboards, skis, and equipment out from under foot when not in use. A cooler is concealed under starboard aft section. While the cooler is generously large, those of us in Florida might appreciate a bit more insulation at the expense of a few cubic inches. The remaining seats conceal additional storage.The bow seating area includes a removable insert to form a cozy (lounge). The windshield hinges for access to the bow, and a Plexiglas panel closes off the section beneath the windshield on chilly mornings. There is storage beneath the forward seats, and additional ski storage under the deck in the walk-through.To make full use of the luxurious helm seat, it swivels around to face the seating area, including the driver in conversation, or lunch. The bucket style seat can be locked forward, keeping the driver in place during high speed turns. The seat slides forward to precisely position the driver at tilt steering wheel, and includes adjustable lumbar support. As with all of Malibu's boats, switches and controls are close at hand, and the large instruments are easy to read. An large sunpad covers the engine at the stern, and creates two storage areas on either side of the engine. At the front of the sunpad, the ski pylon swivels on exceptionally smooth needle bearings and retracts when not in use.Malibu is known for employing technology in design, construction, and manufacturing, but the company gives comfort a technological boost as well. Hydroponic dampening system – All Sunscapes are equipped with Malibu's silent rider mufflers for further noise reduction, and can include the Perfect Pass cruise control system, allowing the driver to dial in an exact speed or RPM and return to it at will.The V-drive powered Sunscape I tested was not as perfectly balanced as Malibu's midship engine models, the trade off for having the engine in the stern. Otherwise she performed impeccably, with better performance and enhanced safety over what is expected from sterndrive boats. Because the rack and pinion steering controls just a rudder, not an entire out drive, steering was extremely smooth and nearly effortless, even at full throttle. The boat planned off quickly at 2.7 seconds but with the weight of the engine in the stern, her bow rose a bit more than the company's straight inboard boats I tested. Once on plane, the boat ran remarkably level. Our test boat was equipped with a 375 horsepower Corvette engine, taken right off GM's assembly line and custom built for Malibu, which propelled us to a top speed of 49.1 miles-per-hour at 5500 RPM. The boat cruised economically too. At 3500 RPM we made 34.5 miles-per-hour, burning 8.7 gallon-per-hour, making four miles per gallon of gasoline. At 25 miles-per-hour, the boat's most economical speed, it was making better than five miles per gallon.Malibu's Sunscape 21 LSV fills an important niche quite well. Her compact size and inboard engine are well suited for aggressive skiing, while the stern engine V-drive configuration makes her a great family boat. Add in the versatility of huge wakes from the Wedge and MLS systems, and the extra poshness of the Sunscape line, and she offers something for everyone in the family.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Malibu Sunscape 21 LSV is 49.1 mph (79 kph), burning 26.1 gallons per hour (gph) or 98.79 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Malibu Sunscape 21 LSV is 34.5 mph (55.5 kph), and the boat gets 3.99 miles per gallon (mpg) or 1.7 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 126 miles (202.78 kilometers).
- Tested power is 1 x 375-hp Corvette LSI EFI.

In the most complete, public discussion to date on the scope and character of the 450 mm wafer transition, representatives of SEMATECH, policy-makers from the European Commission, industry consortia, and technology suppliers met to discuss the implications of 450 mm transition at SEMICON Europa on October 13-14, in Dresden, Germany. Among the highlights of the 2-day session was the 450 transition price tag estimated by speakers at $25-$40 billion, much of it centered at the Global 450 Consortium (G450C), perhaps with little room for other industry consortia or non-G450C participants.
According to Tom Jefferson, 450 program manager at SEMATECH, by mid-2013 to early 2014, a complete 450 mm production line will be established in New York containing 50 different tool types. The objective of the pilot line will be to develop data to support the purchase of production-line tools and it is unlikely that non-participants in G450C will be favorably considered for 450 production lines. According to many speakers--like the case with 200 mm tools during the 300 mm transition--when 450 mm reaches production, significant 300 mm development will cease.
What 450 Means for Europe and 300mm
The 450mm Progress Review at SEMICON Europa was organized by Lothar Pfitzner, Fraunhofer IISB, and included sessions on R&D and Planning, Facilities, Silicon and Metrology, FEOL Equipment and Automation, and Technology and Device Issues. Georg Kelm, head of the European Commission's Nanoelectronics sector, discussed the preliminary results of a draft study, due by year's end, which seeks to clarify policy options and support considerations for the European semiconductor industry. Preliminary conclusions of the study claim that once 450mm enters full production, further 300mm node development will cease for tool suppliers due to limited resources and poor return on investment. Some equipment suppliers may choose to stay off 450mm and focus on specialty development on 300mm platforms, but the 8nm node is likely to be the 450mm equivalent of 65nm's '300mm only' moment. Furthermore, the "Post CMOS" era will likely be exclusively on 450mm wafers.
Once 450mm is fully developed, spare capacity in 300mm will emerge, encouraging a migration from 200 mm production, impacting the viability and competitiveness of both 200 mm and 300 mm fabs in Europe and the world. In 15-20 years, even low volume, mature technologies in MEMS, power and analog could migrate to 450 mm fabs.
How the EU chooses to support the semiconductor industry through the coming years is being evaluated by the study, industry players and policymakers throughout the region. There are clear divergences of interests across the industry: European IC manufacturers are currently not planning 450 mm investments; many equipment and materials suppliers see an opportunity, but many suppliers see the 450 R&D draw threatening long-term profitability and current customers. Similarly, European consortia and R&D organizations see both an opportunity and a threat as--unlike current 300 mm process development which occurs at multiple locations around the globe--near-term 450 development seems likely to be exclusively conducted at the G450C site in New York.
Kelm acknowledged the prominence of different views on government support for More-Than Moore, and More Moore programs and the challenges 450 will make on current semiconductor and high-tech policy. With $2-3 billion necessary for a stake in a 450 development fab capability, it is unclear whether both wafer size transition, next node scaling, new transistor technology, and 3D IC could be simultaneously be funded. With 450 demanding such a large resource commitment, it is also unclear how semiconductor industry support will fare among all European Key Enabling Technologies (biotechnology, advanced materials, photonics, etc.).
Michel Brillouet, Senior Advisor, CEA-LETI, who estimated the total cost for 450 wafer size conversion to reach as high as $40 billion, summarized the EU options: help develop 450 and forget all More-than-Moore projects; forget 450 and concentrate on other process technologies such as 3D, EUV, etc,; and support R&D by equipment and material suppliers without a European production or pilot development lab.
Effective Migration: Affordable and On-Time?
Hans Lebon, VP Fab & Process Step Development at IMEC, began his presentation with the statement that "wafer size transition accelerates industry consolidation." Estimating the cost of the transition at $25 billion, Lebon said the 300 mm wafer size transition "wasn't cost effective." One of the ways to manage costs will be through "fewer equipment platforms." Imec is still trying to formulate a role in 450, and claimed there "still was a long journey to go."
Tom Jefferson from SEMATECH, however, sees a clear timeline, schedule and participation process in place for 450. He stated that over 40 companies are participating in the program, defects per wafer have been reduced from more than 3000 to less than 200, and that effective SEMI standards have been developed to enable development. Jefferson reiterated the key details of the September announcement that IBM, Intel, TSMC, GlobalFoundries, and Samsung, along with the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, University of Albany, State University of New York, have committed $4.4 billion to next-generation chip research, including 450 mm wafer processing. How much of the announced $4.4 billion was already-committed IBM money for other (non-450) advanced chip design and technology development was not verified. The new fab site has been prepared and walls are going up on the fast-track project. Nanoimprint technology from EV Group will be used as the "stopgap measure" in lieu of a workable EUV solution.
On Day 2 of the Session, Jefferson returned to clarify that the pilot line will include 50 types of tools, many with more than one supplier contributing. The goal of the pilot line will be to develop a database that will be used to support production tool purchasing. Participants in the program will benefit from access to patterned and non-patterned wafers, shared metrology and Multi Application Carriers (MACs), shared consortium staff resources, data sharing, and "financially leveraged business partnerships" with consortium partners. Suppliers who do not participate in the program will be lower on the priority for access to test wafers. The impression left was that not participating in the program will lower the probability of participation in production line rollouts by consortium partners.
Jefferson also clarified the intercept point of the pilot line. The consortium is expected to have different intercept points for logic and DRAM, but the "expectation should be for 10 nm and beyond," and the timing for the second half of 2013-early 2014.
New Requirements, Solutions and Technologies for 450 Fabs
Other presentations during the 2-day program addressed many unique fab, tool and technology requirements for larger wafers. These diverse presentations demonstrated that while 450 mm pilot plans are sharpening around firm schedules and requirements, considerable engineering and science work has yet to be completed.
Peter Csatary, Head of Group Technologies, M+W Group, highlighted the utility, construction, material handling requirements for a 450 fab. Ines Stolberg, Manager Strategic Marketing Litho, Vistec, discussed their concept for a direct write, variable beam (rather than single beam) approach to maskless lithography. Guilhem Delpu from Recif discussed work being funded by the EU on improving vibration, cleanliness and substrate affects on wafer handling.
Geert van der Zalm of Bosch Rexroth also discussed alternative material handling approaches and control strategies for 450 mm wafers to manage vibration with heavier loads and longer arms. "We may need to rethink tool architecture, such as using inverted linear motor to enable inline vacuum transport that has been proven useful in the solar industry." Michael Schilp, Zimmermann & Schilp Handhabungstechnik, also discussed a radically alternative approach to non-contact 450 mm wafer handling using ultrasound.
Results from another European funded project on etch process development illustrated the challenges in 450 mm process development. Mike Cooke from Oxford Instruments indicated the first tests on 450 PECVD SiO2 processing have so far yielded only a 4.2% uniformity across all points. In induction coupled etch plasma, a +/- 10% uniformity across a 450 wafer has been achieved (half of the non-uniformity at the wafer edge), that according to Cooke was "not good enough, but a useful start."

Today is April 15th, 2008 and that means that it is the day taxes are due in the United States. While this is a time of stress for many Americans it shouldn't be as you might be one of the many that is expecting a substantial income tax refund this year. It turns out that over 70 percent of Americans get money back at the end of the tax year, with the average refund being close to $2,000! Rather than having those precious dollars being absorbed into your normal spending routine or being used wisely to pay off bills you could do something crazy with your refund, get three GeForce 9800 GTX graphics cards for triple SLI! Actually, with a street price of $289 plus shipping buying the graphics cards will only set you back $867. This sounds like a large amount, but keep in mind a single GeForce 8800 Ultra cost $829 when it launched back in early 2007. If you consider this, three GeForce 9800 GTX graphics cards at $867 seems to be a bargain!
Since we have already covered the GeForce 9800 GTX in our launch article we will not be going into any of the features today and focus just on SLI and Triple SLI performance. One important thing to point out before we move on is that an nForce 680i SLI, 780i SLI or 790i SLI motherboard must be used to enable Triple-SLI. Only the 780i and 790i SLI motherboards come with the 3-way SLI bridge though, so if you have a 680i SLI motherboard you'll need to make your own with flexible SLI bridges or purchase a new one. On top of mothebroard chipset requirements each GeForce 9800 GTX requires two 6-pin PCIe power connectors for proper usage. If power is not properly hooked up to the GeForce 9800 GTX the video card will sound an alarm and you will definitely hear it. When it comes to power supplies a single GeForce 9800 GTX, needs at least a 450-watt power supply unit for proper operation. For each additional GeForce 9800 GTX added to the system, 156 watts more power is recommended as that is the maximum board power that each card can consume. This means those that want to run triple SLI with three of these cards will need at least a 762W power supply according to NVIDIA.
What kind of performance increase can we expect? NVIDIA claims that with SLI, the GeForce 9800 GTX GPU offers increased performance up to 2x in a dual SLI configuration and up to 2.8x in 3-way SLI mode. With all that said let's take a look at the test system and then run some performance tests and see if we can confirm this!

Volleyball to Open Spring Schedule at Memphis
Nashville, Tenn. – After going 18-14 in 2012's campaign, the Tennessee State volleyball team will look to build upon its success this year starting with Saturday's exhibition tournament in Memphis.
Although tomorrow's contests will not impact the fall season's bottom line, it will be the first time that the Tigers get to sharpen their teeth against an opposing team.
TSU will start by playing OVC-rival UT Martin at 10 a.m. before squaring off against host-school Memphis at 11.
The team will then break for lunch before taking on an SEC-opponent in Ole Miss. at 1 p.m. and rounding out the tournament versus fellow-HBCU Alabama State at 3.
TSU was 3-0 last year against UT Martin, Memphis and Alabama State, but Saturday will be the second time in school history that the Tigers have met the Rebels of Ole Miss. TSU holds a 1-0 series advantage, having edged Mississippi in 1997's Arkansas State Invite in five sets.

Expediting the Blood Flow
By instilling supply chain efficiencies into how hospitals get blood, General Blood co-founders and Carlson MBA graduates Ben Bowman (pictured) and Dave Mitchell aim to cut health care costs by $1 billion.
In an age where you can order almost anything today and have it by tomorrow, one would think that when your hospital needs life-saving blood there's a nationwide, Amazon.com-like efficient, price-competitive means of attaining it. You would think, but before blood vendor General Blood came along two years ago, that wasn't the case.
Even today, the flow of blood, so to speak, is primarily regionalized in distribution, meaning hospitals in a region with poor donor participation are often faced with blood shortages, or conversely, spoilage due to over-ordering. On top of that, disparities in the price of blood put a financial strain on hospitals that are already under enough pressure as it is.
General Blood is working to ease that pressure. The Minneapolis-based, FDA-registered blood vendor founded by Carlson School Full-Time MBA graduates Ben Bowman (CEO), a former Ventures Enterprise student, and Dave Mitchell (EVP), a former Brand Enterprise student, is making great strides in trying to ensure that when blood is needed anywhere in the nation, it quickly gets to its destination all at a competitive price.
"There was no real player making a national solution for balancing excess and shortages, and also balancing price," Bowman says. "Blood is a gift when it's given, but after it gets that FDA label on it, it becomes an FDA product, a commodity, and so that commodity should flow freely nationwide."
And the proof is the process. They only work with community blood banks that have an excess of donors and lean manufacturing processes. Hospitals that contract with General Blood submit their order and the package of blood drop ships via a well-supplied blood bank where it is tracked until it's signed off at the hospital.
"We're just saying, there's things we've learned in supply chain, let's put that knowledge toward a product [blood] that really does need supply chain help-it's a perishable, high value, critical input. Those are three big check marks," adds Bowman.
A departure from 'the way it's always been'
Back when he was researching the viability of a business like General Blood, Bowman, who was still an MBA student at the time, says he discovered inefficiencies in the industry and was surprised by how readily they were accepted.
"I thought, how could this be possible? Is there a law, some regulation, or barrier?" he says. "So I called around to a lot of people and found out that it was the way it's always been."
He describes blood distribution as a cottage industry where oftentimes there is only one blood vendor for hospitals in a region, and that certainly hasn't meant the hospitals are all paying the same price, either.
"We've run into cases where there are the same two kinds of hospitals, same size, within a mile from each other paying 20 percent difference in blood - and they use the same vendor. It's just a matter of how well that individual hospital negotiates," says Bowman.
"We have come in and induced that level of competition and gave them a choice," he continues. "So this is a new way of doing things, but the feedback we've been getting from hospitals is: 'Now we have a choice. Now we know we're paying a fair price for the product. Now we're getting 100 percent of what we order instead of 90.'"
$1 billion impact
The bottom line, Bowman believes, is that General Blood can take $1 billion out of health care cost through reducing waste, instilling competition, and collecting blood where it's most efficient. It's a win-win for all involved.
"We think were on the right end of the equation. We're saving hospitals money on a critical input. We're making sure they're getting what they need at the right time so they're not out of stock or cancelling surgeries or worse," Bowman says. "We really feel like we're really getting a chance to be part of the solution, or small solution to this healthcare debate, instead of just reading about it."
General Blood is currently a semi-finalist in the Minnesota Cup competition.

Return true if the string in the first element of the array contains all of the letters of the string in the second element of the array.
For example,
["hello", "Hello"], should return true because all of the letters in the second string are present in the first, ignoring case.
The arguments
["hello", "hey"] should return false because the string "hello" does not contain a "y".
["Alien", "line"], should return true because all of the letters in "line" are present in "Alien".

why in the last week or so are links uploaded later and later?
links please :)
please, guys, this is episode is boring, we all knew he would leave the show, I hate those "WAKE UP" scene, this is the kind of drama Hollywood I hate about
I understand they need to change things, but changing which ring was stolen seems like an odd thing to change from the books.
yes, for the moment.
has subs and watermarked
This episode was epic

English isn't my first language my first is french and mistake can happen even more when you don't look if you wrote correctly a word or a sentence...
Anyone got links for this entire season? This is the 4th episode in a row with ZERO working links.
Does anyone have links for this episode? This is three in a row with zero working links. :( Pity bc this show is off the charts funny and awkward. lol
Does anyone have links for this episode, too? There's no working links for this episode.
Does anyone have links for this? The only link avail has had the video removed. I reported it, but still need a working link.
Here's an idea, if you believe that specific links are "virus spam bots" then don't use them and just shut the fuck up. That's the stupidest shit I've ever came across. Then, proceeding to question each others intelligence when you both have the the grammar and spelling of a 12 year old illiterate child. Concluding with my original statement, just shut the fuck up, All of you.
@Tonia1 is a virus spamming mining bot, there's no point trying to argue it
I explained that i use haiShi5ei's links more then a 100 times and NEVER caught a virus because of it and you still DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT... SO PLEASE SAY THAT A WALL COULD UNDERSTAND BETTER YOU ARE IN NO POSITION TO SAY THAT LOL
YOU DIDN'T ANSWER IT the question is how do you know it i never saw you answer for that since you can use your own links to watch new episode... PLEASE TELL ME WHERE AND WHEN YOU ANSWERED THIS QUESTION. I never saw your answer for that. AND like i said NEVER had a virus because of hai5hi5hei's links so YOU are the one being retarded But nice try to look smart tho... YOU are saying that a wall could understand better, sorry but YOU SHOUDLN'T talk you don't EVEN UNDERSTAND that haiShi5ei's links DOESN'T have virus at all..... Next time try to think befire writing anything XD
@ Kruciphix a already answer it, i already told one thousand times, a wall could understand better. I believe that as many times you can explain one thing to a retarded being, at the end it's pointless..
Like i said i never had a computer problem because of hai5hi5ei's links and btw i'm very good with computer and i know exactly when my computer has a problem even a little and you still didn't answer my question, you call me a joke PLEASE you can't EVEN answer a SIMPLE question so STOP you If you REALLY knew that they are bots and their links have virus would my question SIMPLE.. STOP LYING ALREADY
@Kruciphix hahahaha my God, you are a joke. I use adblock for my own profit and i dont shame to tell that, but those two, which ARE NOT PEOPLE, are mining bots that really made problem to your computer.
Btw Tonia1 you never anwsered my question witch was how do you know that their links have virus or that they are virus spam bot? You have your own links that you can use to watch episode... Unless you don't use your links because you know tht they aren't good... You spam too you know you upload over and over again the same links even if they aren't good.. Your links doesn't allow adblock witch mean that your links allow add and most of adds contain virus so you are in no position to talk XD. ha5hi5hei has always at least a 720p link and like i always says i used his links all the time and more then a 100 times and NEVER my computer caught a virus because of his links.... How do you explain that if he is a virus spam bot? Bye and have a nice day
Send yout thanks to hashisei and martilnear and ask them to add series that dont exist, or to replace dead links
Don't watch them them.. Adblock is one thing, virus spam is one other
Tonia1 stfu your links are the ones riddles with ads and adblock blocked on all sites
Where are the links? :( Apparently this aired almost 2 hours ago, and there aren't links anywhere!
anyone else notice the dead space marker in this episode
well, if they can put a note, I would like something useful like 422mb, or 168 mb, or 368 mb... you know... useful
Using this site for close to 2 years now and can say that hai5hi5ei have always been the most reliable especially on openload, no ad block restriction, no viruses, and can download the usually 100-400 Mbyte episode in 10 min
And btw tonia1 never warned anyone about her links not allowing adblock so........
First most of tonia1's links doesn't allow adblock so she shouldn't talk about thei videos having virus and second Why matrilinear is writing ''Don't watch matrilinear links, it's a virus spam bot'' himself in the uploader note It can be tonia1 who is doing this or matrilinear himself for some reason. About hai5hi5ei's links what you have to say about them Tonia says the same thing about matrilinear and hai5hi5ei... I use hai5hi5ei's links all the time and i used them more then a 100 time and never caught a virus.
matrilinear edits uploads with henti furries having sex ads before and in the middle of the videos. tonia1 is always warning everyone about it and her videos get deleted by the spammers for warning us.
In the comic shop, I wonder if that is the Red Hood costume that Jensen Ackles wore for Halloween.
It's about tonia1 I don't know if she is the one who is doing this or matrilinear wants to make fun of her but either way it's about her
Please load latest episodes. Thanks
All the matrilinear links have this tag: "Don't watch matrilinear links, it's a virus spam bot"... Something I missed? That sounds like a bad marketting strategy. Also, best talk show on air, every episode is a gem and a trove
All the matrilinear links have this tag: "Don't watch matrilinear links, it's a virus spam bot"
Why are all of the speedvid.net for this episode of Geordie Shore really an episode of the show Salvation?!?!?!?
Does anyone have season 2 of this in the English version? NOT the Revenants, which is the French version of the same script, but using different actors and totally in French.
Every link of this show is for Scream Queens, not SCREAM. Two totally different shows! Does anyone have links for this show?
thank you
links please
Can we have good links here now?
Finally thanks
Can we have links here plz already
Oldboy3 its the same link as the others you know that right? Can we have at least a 480p link pls
crappy links need better audio!!

NEWPORT Gwent Dragons have signed tighthead prop Lloyd Fairbrother on a three-year deal from Exeter Chiefs, writes Chris Kirwan.
The 22-year-old front row forward, who qualifies for Wales thanks to his mother from Blaenavon, has spent the last two seasons on loan with Plymouth in the Championship.
The Cornishman made one appearance for the Chiefs last season – against the Ospreys in the LV= Cup – and heads over the Severn Bridge with a reputation as a strong scrummager.
Dragons director of rugby Lyn Jones said: "I am delighted that Lloyd has signed a contract with us. He has shown great promise through learning his trade with Exeter.
"The key part with him is his development; I want to spend time continuing the good work that Exeter have done with him, making Lloyd the best that he can be.
"He has outstanding ability and I look forward watching him develop as a player in the Dragons squad."
While Fairbrother arrives at Rodney Parade, Nathan Buck is set to follow Argentinean Francisco Chaparro in heading for the exit after being a fringe player this season.
The Dragons have signed Jersey tighthead Dave Young for 2014/15 and currently have Dan Way and 19-year-old Alex Jeffries on their books.
The future of Wales and Lions prop Adam Jones – who has been linked with a move to Rodney Parade if he pens a central contract – remains unclear.

Approaching Authenticity: locating living cultural memories, identities, and traditions in the 21st century
Approaching Authenticity brings together scholars from the fields of American Studies, Archaeology, Ethnomusicology, Folklore, Museum and Heritage Studies to discuss what 'authenticity' means – and how it can be defined – with respect to our living cultural memories, identities and traditions of today. Although scholars have long considered the notion of 'authenticity', or 'the authentic', as a highly arbitrary – as well as elitist – tool for cultural valorization, it is still being used by governmental agencies, preservationists and other cultural organizations working in the broader heritage sector through a whole host of related terms. Whether a cultural expression is recognized as a 'masterpiece', 'treasure' and/or 'representative' of others, authenticity is being assessed. Significantly, it can also be argued that it is a concept that knows no socio-economic boundaries: it holds great currency within communities for a whole variety of cultural expressions – from music to food.
Key considerations that will guide this discussion are as follows:
•What makes one cultural expression, memory or tradition – or versions thereof – more authentic than another?
•Who decides what is authentic and what is not?
•What is authentic from the perspectives of community members who hold the memories and embody the cultural expressions in question?
•Why is authenticity sought after?
•In this increasingly globalized world, where ideas are shared, taken and/or sold instantaneously and where the boundaries between communities, groups and individuals are more fluid than ever before, does the 'authentic' matter? Similarly, does the 'authentic' matter even more now?
•Is the authentic even possible in this global age?

Sure, we live in networked times, but the phone still plays a big role. In about a dozen digits, you can reach anyone in the world with a phone. Now there's also a way to get at much of the metadata that goes along with it, such as where a phone number is likely based. That and more is being made available for free via the Cloudvox Digits API (our Cloudvox API profile).
Given a ten digit U.S. telephone number, the API responds back with the state and, if available, city where the number is likely to belong. Also included is the carrier, which can help determine the classification of a phone--is it a land line, VOIP or mobile phone?
For mobile phones the carrier can be especially interesting. Methods of accessing wireless features, such as sending a text message through an email address, can differ by provider. There are many sites that will send the text for you, but you need to know your friend's provider. With the digits API, those same services could possibly automate the process, so that you only need to know your friend's number.
As for the location, it's important to note that this API uses the phone number, not a geolocation method through the carrier. There are alternate methods for determining the location behind a phone number. But it involves a little extra work, as well. For example, you can search for a phone number and usually determine where it's from within a few tries. But that doesn't get the same data into your applications.
Along with the API, Cloudvox has a bookmarklet that uses the API to bring the answer to users while searching. This also shows off some of the functionality available via the API, but you'll want the full Cloudvox API docs when it comes to incorporating it into your application. It's free and does not require a signup or API key.
And how's the accuracy of the data? Certainly it's not 100%, but it gets close. For my office phone, a VOIP number, the location is listed as a suburb outside of the city where I live. Other services may have better data, but Troy Davis, director of Cloudvox Services, tells us they cost money and aren't API-oriented. Cloudvox goes after what Davis believes is the mainstream use case: "as good as you can get without a per-use fee."
Of course, there's an elephant in the room with respect to data accuracy. Area codes no longer have as much to do with where the phone's owner lives. People tend not to change their mobile numbers despite a move across the country. And VOIP providers will sell you a number with any area code you want, no matter where you live.
Even with that fact, there is still a lot of information behind a phone number and this can be a valuable new service for developers.

Conspiracy Theory Video Provides 'Proof' That The Kristen Stewart Cheating Photos Are Fake
Nothing about the "Kristen Stewart cheating on Robert Pattinson" scandal ever made sense to me. From the very beginning I suspected that the entire scandal reeked of a publicity stunt developed in a Hollywood marketing brainstorming meeting to boost the careers of everyone involved. From Kristen Stewart to Robert Pattinson to Rupert Sanders, and yes, even to Liberty Ross.
And in the weeks since the scandal ripped open the hearts of every American, we've seen all four of their careers receive a huge publicity bump. Not only do average people now know the names Rupert Sanders and Liberty Ross, but they've gotten offered scripts, jobs and everything a Hollywood family could want.
Heck, Liberty Ross walked in Fashion Week for the first time in years — and just by walking she eclipsed the names of several bigger models and landed front page headlines.
Robert Pattinson went on a whirlwind press tour for Cosmopolis in the wake of the cheating fallout and the movie saw unprecedented success despite lukewarm reviews. And Kristen Stewart? She just wrapped up the On the Road premiere at TIFF and also used her increased publicity to draw attention to her new film.
So while I feel comfortable saying that there's defintiely more to the cheating story then we're being told by the major tabloids and PR reps, I don't know how I feel about this conspiracy video that's making the rounds now. And I think anyone who's followed my obsession with this PR stunt knows, I'm all for a good conspiracy. But something just doesn't sit right with what it's alleging.
According to this video, Rupert Sanders helped stage these photos with the help of an anonymous women. Clever editing shows that the notorious photos featured in Us Weekly don't match up to photos of the real location. There are all kinds of scale issues with Rupert Sanders and Kristen Stewart's height — and it's easy to get caught up in what this video's trying to imply.
But what doesn't make sense to me is why would they fake the photos? That seems like an incredibly immense undertaking that would bring this conspiracy to a whole new level. Not only does it mean Rupert Sanders (and his anonymous henchmen) framed Kristen Stewart, but also that they had a reason to do so.
Not to mention that Kristen Stewart apologized for these photos within 24 hours of the news breaking — and hours before the issue of Us Weekly even hit newstands. So why would she apologize for something so devastating that she hadn't done so quickly. Wouldn't this be the kind of issue that would cause marketing teams to come up with an elaborate PR strategy to deflect negative attention from Kristen? A strategy that would probably take an entire day (at the very least) to create.
Commenters allude to the fact that blackmail could be involved and that could be the reason she apologized so quickly.
But what kind of blackmail would justify how this affected her reputation among fans. If she's involved in the stunt, then tarnishing her repulation among Robsten fans makes sense. She knows the ends justify the means. The inevitable career boost she would get from "cheating" would make up for angry fans. But if we act like she got framed, then what's her motivation for risking her entire career and her relationship with Robert Pattinson?
When coming up with a crazy conspiracy theory, we have to remember that the people involved need some kind of motivation. They need a reason to do something unethical, immoral and sometimes illegal. Is there any motivation that would explain why Rupert Sanders framed Kristen Stewart into confessing she cheated on Robert Pattinson?
I know Kristen Stewart fans want to believe that she did nothing wrong and this video definitely gives them a reason to think she's innocent. But at the end of the day I still believe she's a major player in this stunt. Not to say the video doesn't make me think that something's fishy about the photos, but not fishy enough to start believing that the unknown director Rupert Sanders blackmailed Hollywood's highest paid actress into ruining her career.

Motorhomes Lift Winnebago 4Q, Sales Up 32%
October 17, 2013 by RVBusiness Comments Off on Motorhomes Lift Winnebago 4Q, Sales Up 32%
Winnebago Industries Inc. today (Oct. 17) reported a 31.8% gain in revenue for the company's fiscal fourth quarter, buoyed by strong motorhome performance, while net income was impacted by a tax benefit recorded in fiscal 2012.
Revenue for the fourth quarter, ended Aug. 31, was $214.2 million versus $162.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. The company reported an operating income of $15.3 million for the quarter versus $6.5 million the previous year. Net income was $10.6 million, or 38 cents per diluted share, compared with $40.9 million, or $1.41 per diluted share.
A tax benefit was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 due to a $36.9 million reduction in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that was established in fiscal 2009. Excluding the non-cash tax benefit of the reduction in valuation allowance, net income for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2012 was $4 million, or 14 cents per diluted share.
Winnebago said the fourth quarter was positively impacted by increased motorhome deliveries, improved gross margin due to better variable and fixed cost absorption and incremental leverage in operating expenses which resulted in a 3.2 percentage point improvement in operating margin.
Revenues for the 53-week fiscal 2013 were $803.2 million, an increase of 38.1%, versus revenues of $581.7 million for the 52-week Fiscal 2012. The company reported operating income of $44.4 million, a 366.1% increase from $9.5 million the year prior. Net income was $32 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, compared with $45 million, or $1.54 per diluted share. Excluding the impact of the non-cash tax benefit of the reduction in valuation allowance, net income was $7.3 million, or 25 cents per diluted share. When adjusting for the non-cash tax benefit recorded in fiscal 2012, earnings per share grew by 352% in fiscal 2013.
"Increased consumer and dealer demand for our products drove our exceptional growth in fiscal 2013," said Winnebago Industries Chairman, CEO and President Randy Potts. "We have introduced a number of new and exciting products in product segments and price points new to Winnebago Industries, which will provide us with additional growth opportunities in the future.
"Many of these products are starting production this fall, such as the new Class B Travato and the new Class C Trend and Viva!, all of which are built on the new Ram ProMaster chassis. We pride ourselves on being an innovator and first to market, and these are prime examples of that process. We have had six consecutive quarters of increased sales order backlog. We believe this reflects the positive dealer response to our new 2014 model year products."

Lot # 980 (of 1727) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1919 Presentation Edition of Commy Signed by Charles Comiskey
Starting Bid - $500, Sold For - $3,231
Extremely rare limited-edition signed and numbered presentation first edition of Commy by G. W. Axelson. Signed on the interior by Charles Comiskey. This book is one of only 200 special presentation copies signed by Comiskey on the limitation page. Only the rare signed presentation copies feature the beautiful embossed cover (standard editions of Commy are bound in cheaply produced plain cloth-covered boards). As noted by the publisher on the second page, "This copy of 'Commy' is No. 41 [number is handwritten] of a special subscription edition limited to two hundred copies, numbered and autographed." Comiskey's signature, which appears directly below the limitation notice, has been boldly scripted in black fountain pen and grades "9/10." The decorative cover features both an embossed title and an embossed image of Comiskey in a batting pose. Published in 1919 by The Reilly & Lee Co., Chicago. These special presentation copies have long been considered one of the premier Comiskey signed pieces in the hobby and, because of their extremely low limitation number, only a handful of surviving copies are known. Further distinguishing this piece, much like a bank check, is the inherent authenticity of the signature. Authentic Comiskey signatures are actually much rarer than most collectors realize, as it has come to light in recent years that many correspondences and documents previously thought to have been signed by Comiskey were in fact ghost-signed by longtime team secretary Harry Grabiner. Comiskey passed away in 1931 at the age of seventy-two. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1939. It is ironic that this book, which was written in celebration of Charles Comiskey's many years in baseball, both as a player and owner, was published in 1919. It was in that year that eight members of Comiskey's Chicago White Sox, mostly out of frustration over Comiskey's penurious ways, conspired to "throw" the World Series, thus forever tarnishing Comiskey's image in the minds of fans and historians. The 320-page book displays moderate-to-heavy wear to both covers, and there is some separation along the spine (the covers and pages all remain firmly intact). The signature page and all interior pages are bright and clean. This extremely rare signed presentation first edition is a prize for any signed book, baseball Hall of Fame autograph collection, or world-class baseball library. Exceptionally attractive and, with its special embossed cover unique to the signed edition, ideal for display. In Very Good condition. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+. SOLD FOR $3,231

Clamour for Jorhat rail bypass
Read more below
- Published 26.11.12
Jorhat, Nov. 25: The Jorhat Bikash Committee has submitted a memorandum to railway minister Pawan Kumar Bansal for a rail link so that long distance trains can pass through the town.
The committee, which has been demanding the routing of long distance trains through Jorhat, submitted the memorandum through Union minister of state for tribal affairs Ranee Narah last week.
The president of the committee and a member of District Railway Users Consultative Committee, Niranjan Jain, said although the Tinsukia division of railway under which Jorhat falls had sent the proposal for construction of the bypass track, the railway headquarters in Maligaon refused to sanction it.
"In the memorandum we have made it clear that neither a bridge nor land requisition would be needed for construction of the chord line. All that is required is the laying of about 640 metres of track in Mariani," he said. "Once the link line is constructed, trains like Rajdhani Express and Kamrup Express can pass through Jorhat station and we can be directly connected to Delhi and Calcutta."
The committee has demanded that the Jodhpur-Bikaner train be extended from Guwahati to Dibrugarh via Jorhat.
The memorandum said it was surprising that 67 years after Independence, the railway headquarters was not sanctioning the construction of a small bypass at Mariani so that long-distance trains could pass through the Jorhat-Golaghat route.
"Jorhat is the second most important city of Assam with all major educational and research institutes situated here besides an air force and army base but the rail and air connectivity is not adequate," Jain said.
The town has research institutes like Tocklai Experimental Station, the Central Muga, Eri Research and Training Institute, the only muga research institute in India under the Central Silk Board, the North East Institute of Science and Technology formerly regional Research Laboratory under Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi and the Rain Forest Research Institute. It also has a medical college, an engineering college, the Assam Agricultural University, an Industrial Training Institute and the Eastern Theological College and the gateway to Majuli and Sivasagar.
The town is also the headquarters of Assam and Assam Arakan basin of ONGC and also has an Oil India Limited pumping station.
"Despite Jorhat giving the highest revenue under the Tinsukia railway division and the railways earning crores of rupees from the station from goods and passengers this more than 100-year-old station, which was declared a model one two years ago by the then railway minister, Mamata Banerjee, is still in a state of neglect," Jain said.

Grooveshark Integration Arrives
UPDATE: Site is back up. Also forgot to mention that the -video search flag is also working again.
Hey Everybody,
First off, we'd like to thank everyone for their patience. We know this transition hasn't been handled well and that getting Grooveshark tracks integrated took longer than we and you would have liked. That said, there are now nearly 1MM pristine MP3 tracks available via our search in partnership with Grooveshark's api. Again, we know this is in no way a replacement for the tracks that are now unavailable, but we hope that it will at least serve as an initial attempt to improve the content quality while adhering to our licensing arrangement. Here is a small sample of some of the artists that are now available for blipping and streaming:
Bright Eyes
Daft Punk
Beastie Boys
The Dandy Warhols
Depeche Mode
Milton Nascimento
Talking Heads
David Guetta
Arcade Fire
Grizzly Bear
She & Him
Lily Allen
Katy Perry
David Bowie
Kate Bush
Dr. John
Ice Cube
LCD Soundsystem
Kylie Minogue
Bob Mould
Diana Ross
The Sex Pistols
KT Tunstall
Robbie Williams
We'll be monitoring usage this week and working with grooveshark to ensure that their api can handle normal usage from our site. It's possible that there may be some rate limit issues, e.g. unavailable tracks at times, while we work through this. Also of note is that due to some technical limitations, all of the tracks we're licensed to play don't actually have a corresponding mp3 to play. If this sounds a little weird, don't worry, it is Essentially there's always discrepancies between the list of licensed tracks that are provided to us and grooveshark and the playable tracks themselves. In light of this, we've made our search smart so if a track is unavailable and there actually isn't a corresponding file on grooveshark for the result, then it will no longer be shown. This means as time goes on you'll see less and less unavailable tracks.
Finally, this is just the first step. We're continuing to investigate options to bring back added content where possible. We also remain focused on ultimately providing a new offering that improves and expands upon the Blip.fm experience. Please let us know if you come across any issues with the new grooveshark tracks and email us via firstname.lastname@example.com. As always, we appreciate your support and understanding.
– The Blip.fm Crew

text: NancyA 1 Report post Posted January 25, 2013 Hello, I'm a newbie to both the ceramics world and to the forums and would truly appreciate the help of the wonderful folks here... I'm interested in making tile. I've just purchased an electric Olympic doll/test kiln and will be attempting my first bisque firing within the next couple of days. My only question about the bisque firing is how long should I prop the lid (I don't have a vent): until it reaches 800 degrees, when it is no longer steaming up a mirror, or some other way of knowing? My questions in regards to the glaze firing: 1) Do I need to stilt the tile when using low fire commercial (06) glazes? The tiles will be small and unglazed on sides/bottom. I've read to use silica sand on the shelf beneath the tile. Is this necessary with a small 4" tile? I remember seeing a post here that using silica sand could be damaging to the elements/other wares. 2) As it is a very small kiln, should I enter a 'User Program' in the V6-F controller in order to allow for slower cooling of the glaze, or will the preset 'Slow' or 'Fast' settings be adequate? I realize that experimenting will probably be my only answer here, but I'd like the opinion of more experienced users on these controllers and what type of schedules they use in a test kiln to avoid glaze defects. I apologize if these topics have been addressed, I have searched but was unable to come to a definitive answer on these. Many thanks to the fine experts here, I am so grateful for your responses on these forums. Don't know what I'd do without you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alecso awards his excellency sheikh mohamed bin issa al jaber its gold medal
the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization, part of UNESCO, and represented by its General Manager His Excellency Dr. Al Mounji Bousnina, granted the organisation's highest honour, the Gold Medal, to His Excellency Sheikh Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber, Chairman and CEO of MBI International and UNESCO's Special Envoy for Education, Human Rights, Tolerance and Cultures to build peace and democracy. The award ceremony took place as part of the 100th edition celebration of "Kitab fi Jarida", the Arab cultural project
The Golden Medal is a sign of appreciation and gratitude for the numerous efforts and tremendously effective support that His Excellency Sheikh Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber has provided towards the various UNESCO projects aiming at promoting and coordinating education, culture and scientific activities in the Arab World, including educational reform, the arabisation of internet domain names and Kitab fi Jarida.
In his speech, Dr. Al Mounji Bousnina spoke of the value of Sheikh Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber's many activities in support of Arab culture. 'The Sheikh's bold investment and effective sponsorship is a continuation of his belief in human investment and educational reform as prerequisites for a sustainable economic reform,' Dr Bousnina stated. He also enumerated Sheikh Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber's numerous contributions through the MBI AL JABER FOUNDATION in offering scholarships, supporting educational associations and encouraging forums for the study and understanding of the Middle East and the Arab Nations. Dr Bousnina concluded by thanking Sheikh Al Jaber for his contribution towards ALECSO's efforts in applying the broader aspects of education and supporting scientific research in the Arab world.
In his turn, Sheikh Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber expressed his appreciation of ALECSO which had undertaken tremendous efforts to promote educational, cultural and scientific activities at both regional and national level in the Arab world. Sheikh Al Jaber also thanked all the Tunisians who had shown him outstanding hospitality. He concluded by affirming his support and optimism for a positive future in general but particularly with regard to education and economy.
Present at the ceremony was a large audience of personalities from the worlds of education, culture and the media. There was a special exhibition in honour of Kitab fi Jarida's 100th edition and several people given honours including: Dr. Ahmad Assayad, UNESCO's deputy general manager for external relations and cooperation, and poet Shawki Abdel Amir who is in charge of the "Kitab fi Jarida" project.
This cultural celebration in the Tunisian capital which paid tribute to education in the Arab world was followed by a cocktail party hosted by Dr. Al Mounji Bousnina in one of the Tunis's prestigious hotels, leaving wonderful memories in cultural and other circles.

Need some input on selection please.
I'm looking at buying an AR of some sort, I haven't decided if I want an AR-10 or AR-15. This is where I need some help. I don't really know much about guns brand wise, such as who is better then who. I'm in the Army and I've used a colt M4 my entire career. I'm kind of leaning towards the AR-15 just because I know how to shoot it, I know how to zero it, tear it down, fix it, etc. I've also messed around with a Scar and its pretty awesome. One of the special forces guys had one. My budget is $3000. The only must haves I want are either a red dot or acog, fore grip with bi-pod pop out and adjustable stock.
I just need a little bit of help, simply because I don't really know what is good and what isn't all that great. I've never really been in depth into the civilian gun world but I get to play with some bad guns at work. Give me a .50 cal, mark 19, 320 or an m4 and I can tear them down, fix them, shoot them, zero, time em etc. I'm just not familiar with the civilian side of things.

AR10 is nice.. AR15 is alot more economical to build out and shoot as well. It depends how far you wanna reach out and the purpose of the rifle. For self defense and target shooting up to a few hundred yards, I go with an AR15, the best part is youll have alot of that cash available still for christmas!!
Now an AR10 would be more suited to you if you wanna reach well past that range and send followup shots quickly. Again, if you built it yourself, the quality control will be higher and you can still have some money left over for christmas!!
I personally have a Remington 700 R5 bolt action sniper rifle with a 10 round magazine. Although its a little slower than a semi auto, my purpose is for shooting paper at 1000 yards away and also maybe one day hunt, although i never have!
I hooe I was helpful and good luck with your decision, im curious to see what you go with.

I suggest that you go with the AR15 since you are already familiar with the Colt M4 and the AR15 is highly popular, with low recoil and is affordable to shoot.
There are several top shelf, reliable, mil-spec manufacturers including Colt, BCM, Noveske, Daniel Defense and Larue, any of these manufacturers AR15's will hold their value, are very reliable, accurate and well built.
Shooting the AR15 has a lower operating cost compared to the AR10 and you can always buy a .22 upper for even lower ammunition costs for plinking and practice.
With your budget of $3K, you should easily be able to buy a top-tier AR15, bipod, a 1-4 variable or red dot scope and ammunition.

Why not just stick with the basic Colt M4 type AR15 since you are already experienced with it. They can be had for anywhere from $1000 on up depending on exact configuration. I provided a link to a pretty nice model that comes equipped with some aftermarket options just as an example. This would leave you plenty of money for the ACOG, additional magazines, ammo and any other desired bits and pieces.
Good luck and let us know what you decide.
A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it ... gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

That LE6920 above, a nice Trijicon Acog, and 2000 rounds of .223 ammo would probably still leave you money left over

Thanks for the replies guys, I was also leaning more towards the AR-15 for the simple fact of how familiar I am with it. It also wouldn't be an issue to take it to work with me when we go to the range and throw some rounds through it. I'm not really worried about magazines, I have about 50 or so, along with a traditional bi-pod, a surefire flash light that has a fore grip that turns it on by squeezing the grip and a handful of other things.
How far can you typically shoot an AR-15? I can get 500 yards consistently with iron sights, but how much further can I shoot before I run into issues? I've never been to a range that has targets set up further then 500 yards.

Unless you are looking to hunt big game with it, stick with the AR15 in 5.56.
If I had a 3K budget, I'd get a Colt LE6920, an ACOG, a Dillon progressive press and spend the remainder on conponents.....

If you don't plan on hunting, then it is hard to beat 556, and I have seen lot of deer taken with 223, so that might not even matter. Honestly, I would say daniel defense, mid length, your choice of Aimpoint, Eotech, or Trijicon. With your set limit it should be really easy to make you happy. The Colt is what I decided on, but if I had the extra money, I would have went DD, or BCM, hands down. As far as AR brands that are safe, nowadays, most of them are. Go DD, BCM, Colt, BM, Armalite, and you will be ok. Have fun with the build.
Also, there are brands like LMT, and Larue that will fit in your price range, and really give you something special. The PredatAR is incredible. But they are pricey, and all you are getting is a cooler looking slightly more accurate(debated) rifle.

They didn't see a comedian. They saw the "king of the world."
Long before there was a Dr. Cliff Huxtable, before rumpled sweaters and a collective anointing as America's dad, Bill Cosby was magnified a hundredfold in the eyes of the young models and actresses he pulled into his orbit. For them, he embodied the hippest of the 1960s and '70s Hollywood scene, a mega-star with the power to make somebodies out of nobodies.
He partied with Hugh Hefner and was a regular at the magazine mogul's Playboy Mansion bacchanals. He co-owned a restaurant and hit the hottest clubs. He sizzled.
