VIDEO: Incredible iPad Orchestra
We've seen the iPad do some funky stuff so far in its short little lifetime, but we're going on record as saying we haven't seen anything as beautiful as this (although David Jon Kassan's Brushes portrait was stunning).
The Sweet Dream rendition is being played back using the Seline HD app (£5.49 in the App Store), which "features a completely new, ergonomically designed playing surface called ioGrid, suitable for players with all hand sizes.
"The melodies are played with two hands, while keeping the iPad on the knees or on the table. Fully adjustable 16-note scale is divided into 2 parts (odd and even), which are then mapped on the left and right grids. Such a way of note mapping is beneficial to the existing linear scale mapping solutions as it allows many more improvisation possibilities."
Basically, it's a clever iPad musical instrument and it's hard to argue that, when played by experts at least, it isn't pretty amazing.

Rated 3.9 out of 5Â by 29 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Sdr206 Gorgeous, but... Extremely odd fit. I'm 34-27-36 and it is loose in the arm and shoulder, as well as the crotchet panel around the waist being too bulky. Buttons also pop out. Fabric is too stiff, no stretch or give. However it is a beautiful dress and you're lucky if you can get it to fit you right! I may keep mine though because it is just a special piece nonetheless. 11.19.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by silentdreamer406 Very Lovely I bought this dress at the store when it was on sale in the dusty rose color and i love it! It's gorgeous, the fit is a little loose but i make it work. It was missing a couple buttons, but because of my sewing skills i replaced all the buttons with antique buttons and made it all my own. I even got a free train ride because the conductor loved my dress! 9.14.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by megsy_f Too big This dress is so cute, but I'm 5'4", 115-120 lbs, 34A and the XS was enormous. Beautiful detailing, though the second button split in two the minute I touched it. With a little more 'endowments' in the right areas, this dress would've been great! 6.28.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mariann Amizing! I was waiting for this dress since it appeared in on-line store. Finally, I have received it today. Oh heaven, this dress is amazing! The crochet, the color, fitting - everything are perfect. Yes, dress runs long. I am 5"6 and it is 2" longer on me, but this is not a problem at all, you can easily shorten it. Dress is true to size. Depends on designer, I can wear through small to large size, but my normal size is a medium, and I have ordered a medium. For references my measures are 38-28-39. You can wear this dress button down in front or back. I prefer it in the front. The dusty rose color the same as pictured and looks fantastic on person. This is the best of all my dresses I have. Just one thing could be a problem for you if you are athletic and have the bigger arms and shoulders. Your arms won't be fit into this dress, because it is kind of tight in that area. Other wise the dress fantastic and I can not resist to order a white one. 5.30.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by maggiebethsteele So. Much,. Fabric. The title says it all. If that's what you're looking for then you're in luck - it's on sale! I returned it. Blech. 11.15.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by amberashz In love Love the dress so much, the crochet details are just too beautiful! I ordered in oxblood color because black was oos, but oxblood is beautiful too! My only complain is that I have huge hips (pear shaped), so the hips fit very tight when the top fits just fine. Ordered a M, I am a UK12. If other colors are back in stock I am soooo tempted to have them too! 1.4.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lourenda ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT I am 4 11 hour glass figure 107 pounds. The dress is too long but that is typical at my height and can be easily shortened. I ordered an extra small and it fits perfect. It is a gorgeous simple white embroidered dress that is delicate, feminine and elegant. It can be dressed up or down depending on accessories or lack there of. This dress will work for a summer wedding, graduation or a special outing. I am lucky to live in Southern California so it will work year around. The cut is so classic another in oxblood. Plan on wearing it for Thanksgiving. the price at 99 dollars is a steal. 11.15.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by samarshahab Pretty, but.. I got really excited when i first saw this dress on sale and picked it up in black and in white. When i brought it home and tried it on again i realized that the fit on the top was weird. The sleeves were tight and the shoulders were SUPER loose which means it kept sliding off my shoulders! I returned the black one but kept the white only because i got an extra damaged discount (since one of the buttons were missing). you need to try this dress in person before you purchase. Every piece is different. 11.13.2013

Well, if you're getting replies before the original message, then
all's well for everyone else! In other words, it likely has something to do
with your email service, though getting a mail a few days late is pretty
strange. Some sendmails I've seen retry every dang 10 minutes, the main
reason I think it'd be so weird. But mother runs a lot of Debian from what
I recall, and I don't remember Exim's behaviour for retrying, but likely the
server from which the mails are being sent (franz.mother.com, a hostname I'm
sure we ALL recognize (unfortunately!)) is having problems, or your mail
server is having problems. As mentioned above, I'm of course thinking it's
the latter.
And in case I didn't make it clear above, it's not going to be a mailling
list problem before it's a connectivity/MTA problem.
Actually! I just looked at the headers of the message in question, and I
did receive them in order, but that made me realize that you should try that
-- compare the headers of the messages we're talking about, to see which
server(s) were having trouble.. (compare timestamps, for my incomings, all the

Tax Administration:
Workforce Planning Needs Further Development for IRS's Taxpayer Education and Communication Unit
GAO-03-711: Published: May 30, 2003. Publicly Released: Jun 18, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9039
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Strategic workforce planning helps ensure that agencies have the right people with the right skills in the right positions to carry out the agency mission both in the present and future. The Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) Taxpayer Education and Communication (TEC) unit within its Small Business and Self- Employed Division assists some 45 million small business and self-employed taxpayers. Given the number of taxpayers it is to assist and changes in its priorities and strategies, GAO was asked to determine whether TEC has a workforce plan that conforms to critical elements for what should be in a plan and how it should be developed and implemented.
Although it has existed for more than 2-and-a-half years, TEC does not have a strategic workforce plan that includes certain critical elements. For example, it has not identified gaps between the number, skills, and locations of its current workforce and the workforce it will need in the future, and the strategies to fill gaps. Such a workforce plan for TEC could be developed by IRS, the Small Business and Self-Employed Division, and/or TEC. Small Business and Self-Employed Division officials said that TEC does not have a strategic workforce plan because they focused on creating the division and units such as TEC to begin addressing taxpayer needs, and because they first wanted to gain some experience with TEC as a new unit. IRS and the Small Business and Self-Employed Division are creating a process for developing a workforce plan for TEC that in broad terms would incorporate the critical elements common to workforce planning. However, it is not yet clear whether the workforce plan for TEC will be developed and implemented consistent with these critical elements. For example, IRS and the Small Business and Self-Employed Division have not analyzed the skills that the TEC workforce will need to meet its program goals or outlined the process and data to be used to do these analyses.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: IRS agreed to implement our recommendation and a TEC contact had told us that the recommendation had been implemented. However, the actual workforce plan had not been provided since we began asking for it in late 2004. IRS provided the copy of the plan on 9/1/06. This plan generally followed the critical elements for what a plan should include as we recommended. Between our asking for a copy and receiving it, however, TEC was reorganized into the stakeholder liaison function. Consequently, although TEC's workforce plan was produced as we recommended, its relevance has been superseded by the new organizational structure.
Recommendation: Given the uncertainty on how the workforce plan for TEC will be developed and implemented, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should ensure that the workforce plan for TEC be developed in conformance with the critical elements for what a plan should include and how a plan should be developed and implemented.

I will admit that I misread his original post, I thought his CPU choices were 3770k and someone suggested 3570K; so that was my mistake on thinking he cared about overclocking.
And dont pick on the fact that I suggest a higher wattage PSU, I always suggest that range for everyone/anyone. Why? Because it allows them the ability to upgrade with less worries in the future. It isnt random, 550W is common, same with 600W. A brand was not listed because.. simply I forgot and where are your recommendations?
A relevant recommendation, I would say an Antec PSU.
And how can you be taken seriously with your sarcasm? And no recommendations from you either..
If im digging a hole, so are you..
You are saying power phases mean nothing; but yet its the one of the main outlines in power systems.
Yes it is a design process, but it is vital in how the voltage gets distributed through your board with different loads. You can sprinkle all the marketing you want, but its still Science and Math...
If you want..I can get from someone who is accredited/qualified to explain why power phases mean something.
And I never made claims, just an observation that got worded wrong and taken incorrectly

Their concerns are voiced in the Give Us A Break report, compiled by the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, which follows a Freedom of Information request to all health boards. It says young disabled people in Scotland have very poor access to hospices or respite facilities once they reach 18.
Hospice users and their families met MSPs, hospice providers and Government representatives at Holyrood this week to call for the urgent development of new facilities.
Many children born with life-limiting conditions such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy now live well into adulthood. Yet adult and respite care services in Scotland have not adapted to recognise this, according to MDC, which called on the Scottish Government, local authorities and health boards to launch an urgent review of facilities for this "forgotten" age group.

Code 21435
Level of study First Year
Credit value 20
Semester 1
This module is concerned with an introduction to spectroscopy and chemical bonding. The spectroscopy component of the course includes the interpretation of spectra from the mainstream techniques of mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy, and 13C and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Of particular relevance is the development of integrated problem-solving skills, i.e. using one or more spectroscopic technique to determine structure, which is achieved using an enquiry-based learning [EBL] approach. The second component of the module provides an introduction to chemical bonding, including atomic structure and periodicity. Thus, general principles and concepts are delivered (e.g. overall trends, physical, chemical and electronic properties and periodicity), followed by the principal bonding arrangements commonly found for molecules and solids, i.e. ionic, covalent and coordinate bonding. The laboratory component of the module develops core practical skills (techniques and manipulations); the course is supported using tutorials and workshops.

How can we find books we want to read?
May 20, 2012 | 5:42 pm
By Chris Meadows
Publishing Perspectives has an article discussing various new tools for electronic research. Though this isn't directly connected to e-books, in a separate discussion seed post editor in chief Edward Nawotka draws a parallel between the problems of researchers sifting through reams of data to find what they need and readers confronted by a million zillion $2.99-or-less self-published e-books to find something worth reading. Unfortunately, those research tools in that main article won't help.
The internet and digital age promised us tools that would help us find the perfect books to read. But with the proliferation of titles, from traditional and indie publishers, digital and hardcover, priced from $19.99 to $0.99 — the market is becoming saturated. Few discovery tools have proven to be "one-stop" for book lovers seeking advice.
After thinking about it, I've come to the conclusion that there isn't really any one comprehensive set of tools for finding every book you might want to read. I mean, consider Sturgeon's Law: "99% of everything is crud." Assume that you might only enjoy 1 out of every 100 books that are published. Heck, take it further and say that only 1 out of 1,000 books would truly appeal to you. Well, hundreds of thousands of books are traditionally published, and millions are self-published every year. Even if only one in 10,000 self-published books met your standards, there would still be hundreds more books that you would enjoy than you could ever possibly find the time to read.
So forget about a tool that will tell you every book you might possibly like to read. I think we should be satisfied if we can learn about any books we might enjoy reading. And there are tools for that out there. AlexLit, which found me many books I came to love, is alas somewhat slow and dated by now—when it's even running, which it currently isn't. Goodreads, which seems to employ the same sort of collaborative filtering recommendation system Alexlit did, looks like a good (if somewhat graphically crowded) modern alternative.
And then there are the recommendations we run across on the Internet—curated lists such as this one from Digital Book Today that gather together the top reviewed books currently available (including, in this case, a number of free ones). They won't necessarily tell you if the book will be to your taste, but they will tell you how many people reviewed it and what the star rating is.
People are always coming up with new things, of course. Maybe tools like Goodreads will get even better. But even if finding good books can be tricky, we should still celebrate the fact that there are more than ever before of them now available.
What Indie Authors Can Learn from Big Retail
Independent publishing's 'Kickstarter moment'
Author's Guild Proposing Contract Challenges
The Martian: An accidental self-publishing success story
Morning Links: What Is a Book? Pebble Time Review
Another way is to look at sites that publish a genre- like Poisoned Pen Press for detective stories, the "Short Introduction to …." series for some mainstream non-fiction and so on. A bit more difficult for some books but publishers could surely assess who is likely to want to read a particular type of book, or at least do it a lot better than they do it now! I remember all too welll finding a book on Rene Descartes under "self-help" in our local (now defunct) Borders store.
How can we find books we want to read? Check out IndieReader (www.indiereader.com), the essential consumer guide to self-pubbed books and the people who write them.
IR features a weekly updated best seller list, drawn from date culled from The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and Amazon and there are new reviews posted daily in every genre.

Troubleshoot, instead of just throwing money and effort at it without thinking things through first.
WHY is the bike stalling? Is it stalling before you release the clutch lever? Is it stalling because you let the clutch lever out too quick? Is it stalling because the clutch engagement is grabby instead of smooth? Is it stalling because you don't give it enough gas? Is it stalling because the fuelling is messed up? Is it stalling because there is a miss in the ignition? Is it stalling because the flywheel is much lighter than you're used to? Is it stalling because the bike has almost NO low-end torque compared to your old bike? Figure this out before throwing money or random training time and effort at it.
Even if it stalls in mid-turn, you should be able to pull the clutch lever in to keep it rolling...unless you haven't actually gotten the bike rolling just yet. Keep 2 fingers on the clutch lever while turning, so you can feather if needed. Is the new seat high for you? Is the weight up high for you?
When the bike low-sided, were you braking, applying power, or coasting? Were the tires scrubbed in all the way to the edge of the tread yet? What was your reaction right as it broke loose? Were there any contaminants/bumps/dips on the road? Are you used to sliding a bike around in the dirt?

NaNoWriMo Day 12 Rants and Raves
I don't have any rants to share, but I am elated that I have made it this far! And I am right on target to finish on November 28th! How cool is that? Tonight I sat down and cranked out a whole 400 words before getting hopelessly stuck. Time for a break. An hour later and a plot of my scene and I sat back down to write. It went so well that before I knew it I had over two thousand words written! Before I started tonight I was wondering if I could even finish this thing. But now I'm on top of the world!
And I'm looking forward to this weekend when I feel like I could actually get ahead of the game! This night is sure ending on a high note! I'm gonna win! I'm gonna win! haha.
20,981 words so far! I am over fourty percent there! woo hoo!
Posted by carl1236 at November 12, 2007 10:49 PM | Writing
Nice work! I find that breaks are very helpful to get me going in the right direction. My commute has turned into an excellent time for contemplation and ironing out plot wrinkles, so that when I finally get home at night I'm bursting with ideas.

Member of the Commission of Inquiry on Syria Carla del Ponte (R) listens to Chair Paulo Pinheiro during a news conference at the United Nations in Geneva October 25, 2012. REUTERS/Denis Balibouse
GENEVA: Carla del Ponte, the former United Nations war crimes prosecutor, vowed on Thursday to bring to justice high level Syrian political or military figures who may have ordered or committed war crimes.
Del Ponte, who has joined a team of U.N. human rights investigators on Syria, said she would help compile evidence and testimonies which could be used in an international tribunal or Syrian national court.
Led by Brazilian expert Paulo Pinheiro, the team has been documenting atrocities committed by Syrian government forces and armed rebels in the 19-month-old conflict.
"My main task will be to continue the inquiry in the direction of determining the high-ranking political and military authorities responsible for these crimes," she told reporters.
Del Ponte later said in a Swiss television interview it was up to key U.N. institutions and major powers to decide what to do with the findings of the team whose next report is due in January.
" We don't know yet whether it will be an international court or a national court or what. Our task is to carry out this investigation to gather evidence and it will be up to the U.N. Human Rights Council or Security Council to decide," she said.
In their last report in August, the investigators said Syrian government forces and allied militia had committed war crimes including murder and torture of civilians in what appeared to be a state-directed policy.
The investigators have also drawn up a secret list of Syrian individuals and units suspected of committing crimes which they say could pave the way for future criminal prosecution.
The list is locked in a safe in the office of U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, who has repeatedly called for the Security Council to refer the conflict in Syria to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
"We are not a tribunal, we are not a criminal prosecution body. What we do is to build evidence for future judicial initiatives in terms of making accountable those responsible for these violations," Pinheiro said.
Del Ponte's eight years at the Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia were dominated by the pursuit and trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, who died in 2006 before sentencing.
Asked about parallels between Syria and past investigations, she said: "The similarity is of course we are handling the same crimes, crimes against humanity and war crimes for sure."
Previously the Swiss attorney-general and also known for her crusades against the mafia and organised crime, Del Ponte said she was moved by the accounts of atrocities emerging from Syria.
"There are many, many victims. I have learned that there are many children among them. It may be the first time that I am confronted by this," she told Swiss television.
The investigators have sent a letter requesting to meet Syria's President Bashar al-Assad in a bid to secure access for the team which has been shut out of the country since being set up a year ago.
They have interviewed more than 1,100 victims, refugees and defectors, but have not been able to meet wounded soldiers or families of state forces killed by rebels.
"We intend to go there without conditions to meet President Assad to discuss access of our commission to Syria," said Pinheiro, who went to Damascus in June in a personal capacity.
Del Ponte praised the panel's work in documenting violations across Syria as providing a "big picture of the crime base" needed to pursue responsibility up the chain of command.

Viola Davis Talks 'Reluctant Sex Symbol' Denzel Washington on 'The Tonight Show' (VIDEO)
Viola Davis, his co-star in the play 'Fences,' visited 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno' (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on NBC) and just couldn't resist discussing the experience of working with Denzel every night.
Denzel Washington Proves He's 'Unstoppable,' Does His Own Stunts (VIDEO)
Denzel Washington Talks Being a Garbage Man and Parenting Adult Kids (VIDEO)
On a different subject, Lopez asked Washington how he responds to guys that want to date his two college-age daughters. "Well, like a friend of mine said, you come to the door in your underwear first ... mess up your hair. And you tell the boy, 'Look, I got a shovel and a shotgun. I don't mind using either one, or both.' You know, just act crazy." But Washington tends to parent his two sons differently than the daughters.

The actor gave the play-by-play: "He scores a touchdown, but his mother ran down the field with him!" As her son reached the end zone, Pauletta got slammed by another player. "She doesn't see [number] 53 coming -- a mother's love!" said Washington.
The studio audience gasped during the slow-motion replay. But not to worry: "She jumped up faster than the guy did."
Denzel Washington Faces Off Against Reggie Jackson in Yankees Trivia on 'The Tonight Show' (VIDEO)
What he got instead was a loot at how incredibly intense and competitive Washington gets when in a competition. We'd hate to sit across from the table from him in Scrabble, and not just because he knew how many "Ts" were in Andy Pettitte's name.
Washington was pacing around the stage, and mashing his button even before Leno could finish his questions. At one point, he even assumed the wrong question, hitting his buzzer before Leno had even finished asking it.n for it!

At first, it was thought the throaty voice belonged to a man, which caused Washington to get visibly flustered. But, the compliment actually came from an elderly woman, who said she was even willing to share Washington with his wife of 26 years.

Even though TV Squad's very own John Scott Lewinski is fighting his way through hordes of overweight Rorschachs and pre-pubescent Chun Lis to get exclusive interviews and scoops on the newest TV news at the San Diego Comic Con, don't forget that our partners-in-crime from Cinematical are also there covering the latest flim-flam in film.
The movie side of the annual pop-culture cavalcade opened with one of the biggest names in the history of film and what could very well be one of the biggest names in the future of film. Director James Cameron screened a solid 25 minutes of his forthcoming sci-fi epic Avatar. Blogger Todd Gilchrist got a hint of the plot and special effects movie-goers can expect when the film hits theaters later this year and said it "promises to be both hugely entertaining and technically groundbreaking." Man, that's got me worried. That's what they also said about Titanic.
Forest Whitaker to produce new gangster series
Have you seen American Gangster? Did you love it? Then Forest Whitaker has a show for you.
Whitaker has made a deal with Showtime to executive produce a new series called Mr. Untouchable, detailing the life of Harlem gangster Leroy "Nicky" Barnes.
Currently, Cuba Gooding Jr. is portraying Barnes on the big screen alongside Denzel Washington.
The series, however, is not connected to the big screen offering. Instead, it's based on a documentary (also titled Mr. Untouchable) released by Marc Levin, who is also executive producing.
St. Elsewhere coming to DVD in December
That's the word from a retailer anyway (no word from Fox yet). The first season of the critically-acclaimed drama will be released on December 12.
Sometimes it's easy to forget how groundbreaking this show was. The topics they covered, the writing. And the cast! Denzel Washington, Howie Mandel, Mark Harmon, Ed Begley, Jr., David Morse, Eric Stoltz, and Tim Robbins were all regulars on the show at one point or another, along with many others.

Our doctors are specialists in the health care of infants, children and adolescents. Our team includes board certified pediatricians that, together with you, will get your kids on the path to leading happy and healthy lives.
I've been a pediatrician since 1996, first in Sherman, and now with Cook Children's Physician Network in Burleson. I grew up in Odessa, Texas and obtained both my graduate as well as my medical degree from Texas A&M University (Whoop!). I performed my pediatrics residency training at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock, AR. I have a husband, and 2 children (ages 12 and 14). The best part of practicing pediatrics is seeing a child grow from an infant to adult, and impacting that life positively. Outside of the office, I enjoy being with family at home, attending church activities as well as sporting events with my children.
Dr. Smith is a native Texan but left Texas to complete her pediatric residency and begin private practice in Michigan. After 16 years in Michigan, she and her family returned to Texas and have been active in the Burleson community for the past 18 years. Dr. Smith currently resides as a board member for the Children's Advocacy Center of Johnson County. She has been a physician for Cook Children's for many years but is so happy to be in the clinic that is located in Burleson since it opened in 2010. Dr. Smith has been a pediatrician for 32 years but states that she continues to feel honored to care for each child and be involved with each family.
When not at the clinic, Dr. Smith enjoys spending time with her family, on their farm, and traveling back to visit friends in Michigan.
Dr. Deborah Vert joined the Cook Children's Burleson practice in 2011 after having practiced for 12 years at the Woodway location in Ft. Worth. Dr. Vert was born in Virginia and raised outside of the Austin area. She did her undergraduate work at Texas A&M University (Gig 'em!) and did her medical school education at University of North Texas Health Sciences Center (TCOM). During her final year of pediatric residency at Scott & White Memorial Hospital Dr. Vert served as Chief Resident.
After completing her pediatric training Dr. Vert knew she wanted to raise a family in the Ft. Worth area and joined UNTSHC as an associate professor where she taught pediatrics and saw patients. Missing the close interactions with patients and their families she joined Cook Children's in 1999 where she has loved watching her patients grow up (and many returning with their own children!).
Dr. Vert loves spending time with her children, traveling, reading and watching sporting events – including NASCAR. She has served on committees at Cook Children's and now serves on the Board of Directors.

WM28 Booking: Where Past Meets Future
by, 06-03-2011 at 04:30 PM (3402 Views)
Wrestlemania 28: Where Past Meets Future
This is my proposed WM28 card. It will never happen, but this is how I would do it. There would probably be some sort of throwaway tag match or crappy battle royale, but I wrote this assuming WWE stays on the same path as promoting one-on-one matches.
Matches listed top to bottom.
Alberto Del Rio vs. the Undertaker
Undertaker is gone for most of the year, but Del Rio keeps mentioning how he wants the chance to end the streak, but how Undertaker is gone because he is scared. At the Royal Rumble, instead of winner getting a title shot, winner faces the Undertaker in his last match ever. There are like 5 or 6 wrestlers all being hinted as the challenger, but Del Rio ends up coming up top.
Del Rio pulls out all of the stops, but inevitably, it is not enough. The Undertaker will not fall. As everyone in WWE comes out clapping, Undertaker rebounds and steals the victory from Del Rio. Undertaker shakes his hand and Del Rio joins the applause out of respect. Del Rio got closer than anyone else, even HHH. 20-0 and retired.
Cena vs. the Rock
Go back and forth with guest referee spots and such, but Rock does not wrestle until Wrestlemania. Cena wins in a close bout, handshake. Hulk Hogan makes a surprise return for a big moment. All three of them come out together after the main event to applaud the Undertaker.
HHH vs. Morrison w/HBK as Guest Ref for WWE World title
HHH returns in a few months and quickly turns heel for the last time in his career. He plays the role of a guy desperately trying to hold onto the spotlight. Morrison is trying to unseat him. HHH says he is just a HBK poser, that he'll never be HBK. HBK teases a heel turn to screw Morrison, but doesn't and Morrison wins. HHH takes the mic.: "The King of Kings… has been dethroned" and hands the belt to Morrison.
HHH leaves… to retire?!? This becomes a storyline… he's not quite done yet. But he has a face run before he retires.
Jericho vs. The Miz
After the Miz/Cena feud is done, Jericho returns and The Miz immediately starts a feud with him, saying he has taken his spot. It culminates with The Miz defeating Jericho at the big one.
Orton vs. Christian for World Heavyweight title
This feud lasts a year. Leading into Survivor Series, Christian still doesn't have the belt but gets One Final Rematch against Orton who still has it, or recently got it back. It's a Pure Honor match, no cheating of any kind allowed. Christian wins it clean. This leads to Christian becoming the face and Orton the heel, culminating in Orton cheating to win the title back. He defends it against Christian, who comes out on top.
Daniel Bryan vs. CM Punk
Bryan feuds with Barrett over his IC title but the The Corre keeps interfering. When Bryan eventually beats Barrett, Barrett goes off on his own. CM Punk gets the rest of The Corre to rejoin, forming a larger Nexus spanning both shows. He feuds with Bryan from Raw, the storyline spans the shows, and he eventually wins the IC title. In this match, Bryan gets his rematch. Punk wins, mostly to keep a face/heel balance, in an epic battle, but Bryan is put over huge. This leads to an epic Series of Seven where Bryan comes out on top to win back his belt.
Rey Mysterio vs. Sin Cara
This match is announced well in advance, just like Cena-Rock. They finally do battle and it is awesome as SC has finally hit his groove. Sin Cars wins, handshake.
R-Truth vs. Bourne
R-Truth continues heeling it up on Raw, going through the competition. Finally he begins a feud with Bourne. This feud is over the U.S. title which R-Truth has had for several months. Bourne becomes more "badass" to counter his goofy, smiley gimmick but R-Truth wins. Post-match, Bourne is furious and R-Truth teases: "Do you want to join the Truth?" Bourne walks off without saying anything.
Sheamus vs. Wade Barrett
Sheamus and Barrett have the obvious England-Ireland feud, with Sheamus as the face and Barrett as a lone heel for the first time. Sheamus battles through and beats Barrett and is put over as a monster face. This is the match of the two breakthrough guys of 2010.
Rhodes vs. Jackson
Jackson breaks apart from the larger New Nexus at some point, becoming Rhodes' hired muscle to protect his face from further damage. "I need someone ugly to protect someone beautiful." This leads to a feud, yadda yadda, wherein Rhodes wins by debuting his new manager… Michael Cole!
Kingston vs. Swagger
These two feud off-and-on throughout the year over the U.S. title but wrestle Morrison for a shot at unseating HHH. When Morrison wins, these two begin a feud over the #1 contender to the WWE title. Swagger wins here and goes onto feud with new champion Morrison.
Batista vs. Mason Ryan
Mason Ryan as the biggest muscle in the larger New Nexus begins collecting wins, but the announcers talk about how he reminds them of someone else who they cannot mention because he is no longer affiliated with WWE. Dave Batista begins showing up in the crowd, leading to a confrontation and a match where Mason Ryan defeats Batista. They shake hands at the end, but the New Nexus destroys Batista afterwards. Batista powers back and sends all of the New Nexus reeling to a huge welcome back pop. Though Ryan wins, Batista is put over at the end.
Thanks. Let me know your thoughts.

2014-2015 Italian Courses
Beginning Italian
This course, for students with no previous knowledge of Italian, aims at giving the student a complete foundation in the Italian language with particular attention to the oral and written communication of everyday use and all aspects of Italian culture. The course will be conducted in Italian after the first month and will involve the study of all basic structures of the language—phonological, grammatical, and syntactical—with practice in conversation, reading, composition, and translation. In addition to the basic Italian grammar and an array of supplementary computer and Internet material, the course will also include texts from prose fiction, poetry, journalistic prose, songs, films, recipe books, and the language of publicity. Conference work is largely based on reading and writing, and the use of the language is encouraged through games and creative composition. The course also has a conversation component in regular workshops with the language assistants. Supplementary activities such as opera and relevant exhibits in New York City are made available, as possible. Credit for the course is contingent upon completing the full year, by the end of which students attain a basic competence in all aspects of the language. There will be two yearlong sections of Beginning Italian. The first section will be taught by Ms. Rorandelli; the second section will be taught by Ms. Serafini-Sauli
Advanced Italian: Read the Book! See the movie!
This course is intended for students with proficiency in Italian who want to study works of Italian literature in the original, as well as continue their work in the language. The course will study modern Italian novels and the films based on them. We will read the novels as linguistic, literary, and cultural texts and examine the films they inspired as both language and "translation." The texts and films will be chosen to reflect a range of issues in modern Italian culture: regionalism, Sicily and the mafia, fascism and antifascism, politics and social history. Class work will be supplemented by a grammar review based on analisi logica, using Italian scholastic texts. Conference work may explore Italian literature or Italian film and may also focus on further perfecting language skills. There will be emphasis on writing Italian through the frequent submission of short papers, and weekly conferences with the language assistant will offer additional opportunities to speak Italian. Open to students with advanced proficiency in Italian.
Intermediate Italian: Modern Italian Prose
This intermediate-level course aims at improving and perfecting the students' speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills, as well as their knowledge of Italy's contemporary culture and literature. In order to acquire the necessary knowledge of Italian grammar, idiomatic expressions, and vocabulary, students will be exposed to present-day Italy through the selection of specific newspaper articles, music, and cinema, as well as modern Italian literature (short stories, poems, and excerpts from literary works) in the original language. Literary works will include selections from Alessandro Baricco, Gianni Rodari, Carlo Castellaneta, Clara Sereni, Dino Buzzati, Stefano Benni, Antonio Tabucchi, Niccolò Ammaniti, and Italo Calvino. In order to address the students' own writing skills, written compositions will also be assigned and will constitute an integral part of the course. The materials selected for the course—whether a literary text, song, video, or grammar exercise—will be accessible at all times to the students through the course's Web Board; research on the Web will be central to the course and will offer the basis for the weekly Web piece, a short paper on a particular topic. Conference topics might include the study of a particular author, literary text, film, or any other aspect of Italian society and culture that might be of interest to the student. Conversation classes will be held twice a week with the language assistants.

(sorry if there is already a topic about this... I looked around and I couldn't find anything)
So I might get guinea pigs (trying to convince my parents ) and when I was telling my parents about fleece they wanted to know how I plan to keep the washer from getting clogged with hair and all that stuff. They told me they are not going to buy another washer and go through all of that work if all the hair and stuff clogs it up and I really didn't think about that. So what do you guys think I should do ? and I heard from a lot of other websites that even if you do brush the fur , poop, hay etc, off , you still won't get every piece of hair out and your washer could still get clogged.
my parents are also thinking about hand washing and I really don't know the proper way to hand wash (if there is a proper way) so how should I hand wash fleece?

David Coleman, head of the College Board, is also the chief architect of the Common Core K-12 State Standards, which are now mired in controversy across the country. Coleman's initiative in revising the SAT should be seen first of all as a rescue mission. As the Common Core flounders, he is throwing it an SAT life preserver.
The essay is now optional, ending a decade-long experiment in awarding points for sloppy writing graded by mindless formulae.

The parts of the test that explored the range and richness of a student's vocabulary have been etiolated. The test now will look for evidence that students are familiar with academic buzzwords and jargon. The College Board calls this "Relevant Words in Context." Test-takers won't have to "memorize obscure words" but instead "will be asked to interpret the meaning of words based on the context of the passage in which they appear."
The deductions for guessing wrong are gone. Literally, there will be no harm in guessing. Math will narrow to linear equations, functions, and proportions. The scale on which scores are recorded will revert to the old 800 each on two sections, from the current 2,400 on three sections. (Goodbye essay points.) The old verbal section will be replaced by "evidence-based reading and writing." All the tests will include snippets from America's Founding Documents.
What They Mean
The College Board's announcement of these changes came under the headline "Delivering Opportunity: Redesigning the SAT Is Just One Step." The "delivering opportunity" theme is divided into three parts:
1. Ensure that students are propelled forward.
2. Provide free test preparation for the world.
3. Promote excellent classroom work and support students who are behind.
There is a thicket of explanation behind each of these headings, some of it beyond silly. We learn, for example, that the College Board "cannot stand by while students' futures remain unclaimed." Unclaimed? Like lottery prizes? Like coats left in a checkroom? If you work your way through this folderol, it appears that the College Board is launching a whole battery of new diversity programs. "Access to Opportunity ("A2O") pushes ("propels") low-income, first-generation, underrepresented students to college. The "All In Campaign" aims "to ensure to ensure that every African American, Latino, and Native American student who is ready for rigorous work takes an AP course or another advanced course." Another program offers college application fee waivers.
Those initiatives bear on the redesigned SAT mainly as evidence of the College Board's preoccupation with its ideas about social justice. The announcement of the changes in the SAT itself is succinct - and friendly, with helpful icons to get across ideas like "documents."
The redesigned SAT will focus on the knowledge and skills that current research shows are most essential for college and career readiness and success. The exam will reflect the best of classroom work:
- Relevant words in context
- Command of evidence
- Essay analyzing a source
- Math focused on three key areas
- Problems grounded in real-world contexts
- Analysis in science and social studies
- Founding documents and great global conversation
- No penalty for wrong answers
The student who comes across the College Board's explanation - and maybe even the journalist who reads it - might miss the full weight of that key phrase "college and career readiness." That's the smoking gun that what is really happening in the College Board's revision of the SAT is that the test is being wrenched into alignment with the Common Core. That phrase, "college and career readiness," is the Common Core mantra. The Common Core was vigorously promoted to the states and to the public as something that would "raise standards" in the schools by creating a nationwide framework that would lead students to "college readiness."

But alas, as the Common Core Standards emerged, it became apparent that they set a ceiling on the academic preparation of most students. Students who go through schools that follow the Common Core Standards will be ill-prepared for the rigors of college. That is, unless something can be done on the other end to ensure that colleges lower their standards. Then everything will be well.
The Bind
None of this might matter if the Common Core were just a baseline and students and schools could easily move above it if they wished to. The trouble is that the Common Core has been designed to be a sticky baseline. It is hard for schools to rise above it. There are two reasons for that.
First, it uses up most of the time in a K-12 curriculum, leaving little room for anything else.
Second, the states that were leveraged into it via Obama's "Race to the Top" agreed that students who graduate from high school with a Common Core education and are admitted to public colleges and universities will automatically be entered into "credit-bearing courses." This is tricky. Essentially what it means is that public colleges will have to adjust their curricula down to the level of knowledge and skill that the Common Core mandates. And that in turn means that most schools will have little reason to offer anything beyond the Common Core, even if they can.
In this way, the Common Core floor becomes very much a ceiling too. The changes in the SAT are meant to expedite this transition.
The Common Core Connection
The life-preserver that the College Board is throwing to the Common Core is a redefinition of what it means to be "college ready." The SAT after all is a test aimed at determining who is ready for college. An SAT refurbished to match what the Common Core actually teaches instead of what colleges expect freshmen to know will go far to quiet worries that the Common Core is selling students short. If the SAT says a student is "college ready," who is to say that he is not?
The new changes in the SAT are meant first to skate around the looming problem that students educated within the framework of the Common Core would almost certainly see their performance on the old SAT plummet compared to students educated in pre-Common Core curricula. The subject can get complicated, so it is best to consider an example.
Perhaps the most vivid example of how the Common Core lowers standards and creates a situation which invites mischief with the SATs is the decision of the Common Core architects to defer teaching algebra to 9th grade. That move, along with several other pieces of the Common Core's Mathematics Standards, generally means that students in high school will not reach the level of "pre-calculus." And that in turn means that as college freshmen, they will be at least a year behind where college freshmen used to be. Instead of starting in with a freshman calculus course, they will have to start with complex numbers, trigonometric functions, conic sections, parametric equations, and the like.
Of course, lots of students who go to college today never take a calculus course and are in no way hindered if their high school math preparation stopped with binomial equations. The trouble comes with students who wish to pursue science, technology, or engineering - the "STEM" fields. College curricula generally assume that students who set out to study these fields have already reached the level of calculus.

SOUTH Africa-based Zambian squash star Kelvin 'The Kelvinator' Njobvu again showed his class by cruising to an easy win during the Zambia Top-Eight Squash championship held at the weekend.
Going into the tournament as hot favourite, Njobvu upheld his top billing by winning the title and the K2 million cash prize coming with it after destroying Manda Chilambwe 3-0 in a lopsided final whose tempo only rose in the last set.
The 3-0 final win over Chilambwe meant that Njobvu took the 2012 year-ending championship without dropping a set in all three matches played.
Njobvu was so dominant that the 11-4, 11-2, 13-11 set scores in the final against Chilambwe was the biggest resistance he faced in the two-day event as he had earlier dispatched Enos Mwale with 11-4, 11-4, 11-3 score in the semi-final after beating Ngosa Musonda 11-5, 11-3, 11-0 in the quarters.
Njobvu's route to the title was made rather easier when second seed and fellow South Africa based Mwansa Chileshe was beaten in the semi-final stage by Chilambwe in an exciting four-set game with 11-7, 11-4, 9-11, 11-8 score.
Second-seed Chileshe was later beaten in the third place play off by Mwale to finish fourth.
To get to the semis, Chilambwe had similarly beaten Alfred Muma 3-1 in the quarter-final while Chileshe got a 3-0 win over Kafwimbi Nkole with Mwale defeating Frank Wabo 3-1 before been bundled out by Njobvu.
For his effort to finish second, Chilambwe received K1.4 million with third place finisher Mwale pocketing K1 million 000 and a K700, 000 going to Chileshe.
In the Plate event, for the losing quarter-finalist, Ngosa Musonda proved he could have gone far save for the semi-final defeat to Njobvu by winning the Plate title after defeating Kafwimbi Nkole 3-2 in an exciting final.
He received K450 000 and a K350 000 went to Nkole while Muma got K300 000 with Wabo, who retired through injury, getting K250, 000.
Zambia Squash Association (ZSA) president Norena Chitebe praised the players for turning up in numbers and making the tournament a success especially that Zambia was preparing for the All-Africa seniors' Challenge to be staged in Namibia next month.
"It's thanks to all the players, this tournament has been a huge success and we can only encourage you to train even harder. The sponsors as well have done a great job and we look forward to more cooperation with the private sector," she said.
This is the first tournament that the Chitebe led-executive committee is hosting after been voted into office three months ago in elections that swept away almost the entire previous executive.
ZSA fixtures secretary for South Jeff Musonda expressed excitement with the organisation of the tournament saying the fact that locally based players Chilambwe and Mwale defeated South Africa based Chileshe meant local squash was headed in the right direction.

Through a consideration of the requirements for a DEMO-relevant blanket concept, Korea (KO) has proposed a He Cooled Molten Lithium (HCML) blanket with Ferritic Steel (FS) as a structural material in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) program. The design and WKH performance of the KO HCML Test Blanket Module (TBM) are introduced in this paper. It uses He as a coolant at an inlet temperature of 300°C and an outlet temperature up to 406°C and Li is used as a tritium breeder by considering its potential advantages. Two layers of graphite are inserted as a reflector in the breeder zone to increase the Tritium Breeding Ratio (TBR) and the shielding performances. A 3-D Monte Carlo analysis is performed with the MCCARD code for the neutronics and the total TBM power is designed to be 0.675 MW at a normal heat flux from the plasma side. From the analysis results with CFX-10 for the thermal-hydraulics, the He cooling path is determined and it shows that the maximum temperature of the first wall does not exceed 550 °C at the structural materials and the coolant velocities are 50 m/sec and 25~32 m/sec at the first wall and breeding zone, respectively. The obtained temperature data is used in the thermal-mechanical analysis with ANSYS-10. The maximum von Mises equivalent stress of the first wall is 2540 MPa and the maximum deformation of it is 1.3 mm.

I noticed a CW key plugged into your BitX. Do you inject an audio oscillator signal into the BFO mixer or send an offset VFO signal directly to the TX buffer?
Congrats on your great Homebrew!!! I just looked at a BITx20 at the Visalia DX Convention, but they wanted nearly $200 for it, so I went home without it. Sure would have been fun to build and modify though! Enjoy your beautiful radio!

Airing: 5:00 p.m. ET and 11:30 a.m. ET (NFL RedZone)
What's New
• NFL GameDay First was renamed from First on the Field and also switched some talent staffing. O'Hara, the former Giants offensive lineman, replaced Tomlinson on the show. Former insider Michael Lombardi left the show for a management job with the Browns.
• The network continues to be aggressive by hiring experienced NFL writers. The latest are Silver, a former SI colleague, and Battista, a longtime New York Times reporter. Both are excellent hires.
• Sports Business Daily media writer John Ourand reported that NFL Network lost around 12 percent of its production staff in recent months, with around 15 full-time staffers bolting for FOX Sports 1. Another 10 to 15 permanent freelancers also left for FOX Sports 1, according to Ourand.
• NFL Total Access moves to 8 p.m. ET on four different days and brings in Hellie, a popular sportscaster from Washington D.C., as the show's host.
• Asked what separates his network from the rest of the networks, NFL Network executive producer Eric Weinberger said, "I'd have to start with our talent. We try to be very strategic with our hiring. We have been around for a little while now. We do six hours on Sunday morning. We think that is an immediate difference and an immediate choice for the fans. At 7 a.m., we have a group of talent. We have a group of talent at 9 a.m. This is a very position-specific sport. As far as content, this is all we do, all we focus on. I think it is a differentiator for the viewer when they are watching the network."
• Dean Blandino, NFL's vice president of officiating, will appear on Total Access every Tuesday.
What's Old
• NFLN will still get the jump on all the other networks every Sunday with GameDay First, a show that airs (and this is not a misprint) at 7 a.m. ET. It's the first live pregame show to originate from NFL Films, in Mt. Laurel, N.J., and will feature live reports from game sites.
• Inexplicably, Irvin continues to get primetime assignments.
• The pursuit of Brett Favre. The former Packers quarterback appeared on NFL Network during Super Bowl week and has an open invitation to appear on the network. "I am trying all the time," Weinberger said. "He likes his life, but we will always find ways to bring him on … When it feels right for him, he will do it." Weinberger said he would like Favre to have a permanent role but added "it's not going to happen right now."
Burning Question
The MMQB: How aggressive are you covering the concussion issue in the NFL?
Weinberger: We are not running from it. We are trying to educate the fan with what the mission is: To make the sport safer. We are handling it dead on.
"I don't see people complaining that there's too much NFL product on," says longtime NBC Sports producer Fred Gaudelli, who oversees Sunday Night Football.
DEAR Fred,
There is way, WAY too much NFL product on the air. Should have added a 3rd "WAY" in there.
More Trent Dilfer is good for nobody.
Nice writeup but the concussion coverage question to all of them was annoying and pointless imo. Not like they will be covering it each week. Also, not sure what your problem is with Irvin on NFLN but he is entertaining to many people watching. More than can be said for Keyshawn, CCarter, Berman, Jackson, etc.
The WORST show in this line up is CBS - absolutely cannot stand Shannon Sharpe. I guess one needs to understands what he's talking about first and what comes out of his mouth. Rest of the crew except for JB is bad as well.
Next in line in the WORST list is NFL.
The best has been Fox NFL - sometimes as good as some of the games. Next in line is NBC.
ESPN has been middle of the pack
Hey Richard this was great but I was really hoping you would get into the more important part of broadcasting football and that is the games and which broadcasting teams have been switched or what to see as regards to any new tech in the actual game broadcasts.
I keep the CBS game broadcasts on mute most of the time and don't even watch their pregame show because of that incessant theme music and other background noises they throw at us.
You forgot the part about all the shows being unwatchable.
Gotta love Terry and the gang on Fox.
"when peoples gits inside mah haid" They will probably find a bloody white suit and 2 knives.
Weird you mention Ronde Barber as a 5 time pro bowler and Brian Urlacher and Randy Moss as future Hall of Famers. While I think Moss is a slam dunk, I don't think Urlacher is. I think Barber has as good of a shot. Only member of 40/20 club. Although I think all 3 are deserving.
Urlacher deserving??
nice breakdown
We'll see how it works, but I think I'm most excited for FS1's lineup of analysts. I think Urlacher is going to be great on TV.

Final Fantasy XI Screenshots
I am not sure how many Final Fantasy fans there are here.. maybe more than just me? Final Fantasy XI is a MMORPG that I am excited for (played Everquest for too long.. gave it up a couple years ago hoping for something good to come out. Between FFXI and WoW I think the wait might be over). I just applied to be a beta tester for the PC version the other day and since then I have been looking at screenshots of the game. Thought I would share them. I think they look very nice.. for a MMORPG they are fantastic!
Hope you enjoy (shrunk these all down because I only planned on collecting a few and was going to post the image directly into the thread.. but then ended up with more than I thought I would and decided to link them. I hope I didn't loose to much detail ):
link link link link
I think these screenshots portray one of the boss encounters in the game:
link link link link link link
Most of these I found at www.ffxionline.com in the "screenshot" section. I think you may need to register with the site to view them but there are a lot more cool screens to see there.
I also liked this movie advertising the game:
Notice the cool damn summons at towards the end? Ifrit/Titan/Shiva.. NICE!

Wow! That's hot! I love Final Fantasy...Squaresoft rules...I only wish I had an extra life time to spend playing their games...
...pants fulla justice...
April 25th, 2003 #4
Yeah, SkeletonDog, that is the problem. These massive multiplayers can be huge time sinks..
Still, I don't think of time spent gaming as wasted (well, maybe sometimes I do..). There are some great stories out there to discover through gaming (and Square has always had some of the best) and some great artwork to study.
Still, moderation in all things..
Kind of funny.. I ended up with a Star Wars Galaxy beta account today. A friend at work somehow ended up with two accounts and let me have one. I didn't plan on even playing this because I am really not much of a Star Wars fan.. but now that I have it, I'd like to see what it's all about. I am kind of doubting that I will really be able to get into SWG.. but it does look nice at least.

I am showing Day 4 in my e-mail today. Have I missed something
I got that also. I figure someone just made an "oops!". But since when I went to the doctor this week he told me that I HAVE TO go on the DASH diet for the next month, I wasn't concerned about it. I have to go back to see him the end of the month. No, the DASH diet is neither vegan or vegetarian.
That was an ERROR on our end. So sorry folks! We're getting there but not quite yet!
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
The DASH diet was actually how we transitioned from standard omnivore diet to vegetarian to vegan. DASH actually has very small portions of meat and dairy and it is possible to adjust for vegan with DASH. It is heavy on the plant side of things - whole grains, beans, vegetables, fruit. We started using DASH and cutting back on meat first (DASH eliminates beef and pork, small amounts of fish and poultry), then dairy. It was on DASH that hubby started eating oatmeal every morning for breakfast and 6 months later, when his dr. checked the lab report, he did a double take because his cholesterol numbers had dropped significantly and his blood pressure was much better.
