Children's Action Network Holiday Wreath Party
Shawn and Larry King Host Children's Action Network Holiday Wreath Party
Shawn and Larry King opened their home in Beverly Hills for the Children's Action Network Holiday Wreath Party Dec. 6.
Considering the chill of the evening, more than a few guests chose warmth over holiday color and glitz in putting together their party attire. And for many women, jackets remained atop ensembles for the entire cocktail affair.
While some guests lingered beside the elegant Christmas tree in the entry, others mingled by the piano or the portrait of Larry King in jelly beans, made for him, he said, by the Jelly Belly company.
Most of the action, however, took place in the back yard, where spectacular designer wreaths were on display and available for sale in a silent auction. Also on the patio, children made their own wreaths to hang at home.
An estimated 250 guests turned up to place their bids on the exotic and artistic wreaths, decorated by noted artists and top designers, with crayons, feathers, seashells and all manner of found objects. Dawn Moore, one of the event co-hosts, stood beside designer Ron Allen's wreath, created with her mind. She pointed to a silver bullet in the fringe, which commemorated her father, the late Clayton Moore, who starred in the 1950s TV series, "The Lone Ranger."
More designers were Mary McDonald, star of Bravo TV's Million Dollar Decorators; Madeline Stuart, and Windsor Smith with artists including Alison Van Pelt, Ellwood Risk, Cole Sternberg, and Norton Wisdom. Allee Willis, Lulu Powers, Tissy Eggleston and Cole Sternberg.
Also among co-hosts were Donna and Steve Antebi, Jana Basset, Christine and Gabriel Chiu, Neil Cohen, Angela Featherstone, William Fenton-Hathaway, Michele Vega and Sean Kanan, Pat Kandel, Bridget Gless Keller and Paul Keller, Linda Maglia and Nicholas Koutouras, Virginia Madsen, Leslie Mayer, Hillary Metz, Pati Miller, Kirk Nix, Barbara and Robert Patrick, Shelley Reid, Cristan and Kevin Reilly, Shannon Rotenberg, Susie and Jon Sheinberg, Anne and Robert Simonds, Maria Tanquary, Elizabeth Wiatt, Susan Woods, Cynthia Sikes Yorkin and Bud Yorkin, and Dan Zelen.
Organizers said nearly $75,000 in proceeds from tickets and wreath sales will go towards helping children in foster care to find permanent homes and loving families.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Center Joe Jensen, one of the most severely injured Albany River Rats in last February's team bus crash, likely will not play hockey this season, according to one of his former teammates.
Jerome Samson said today he has spoken with Jensen, who is still having complications from a concussion suffered when the Yankee Trails vehicle flipped on its side on the Massachusetts Turnpike. Jensen, an unrestricted free agent, told Samson that he likely would sit out the season.
The only other player enduring physical aftereffects of the crash is defenseman Casey Borer, who will undergo surgery early next week on his neck, which was broken in the accident. Borer isn't likely to return to game action for three or four months, Rats coach Jeff Daniels said today.

Oh What A Night: Photos From Last Night's NYC Mini-Meetup
Klout In The Airport: A High Score Gets You Into Cathay Pacific's SFO Lounge
When we planned our mini meet-up series, we expected a few geeks in a bar somewhere drinking and swapping stories about C#. Nothing prepared us for the onslaught. At one point, 1,256 of us filled all three floors of Bar 13, a techno club near Union Square, and for most of the night I was jostled, bumped, and generally mauled by the crowd. It was, in a word, amazing.
If you missed it, shame on you. If you were there and we talked, email me. I do, however, hope you enjoyed what amounted to TechCrunch's triumphant return to the New York start-up scene.
We'd like to thank our excellent and kind volunteers and our sponsors: Yext, Traducto, WhatRunsWhere, Parlor, MyGenie, Return on Change (RoC), PeoplePerHour, and TouchTunes Interactive Networks. We had some great karaoke courtesy of our last sponsor and we had, quite literally, hundreds of pizzas thanks to MyPizza.com.
We're planning some upcoming events in Philadelphia, Boston, and then another run down through Charlotte, Raleigh, and Atlanta with a pop-over to Savannah as well. If you're in those cities, contact me at email@example.com.
It was great to see you guys last night. Thanks for coming out and thanks for making the meet-up a success. Hopefully we'll see you at Disrupt in a few weeks.

I joined the computer industry at a time when a multi-million dollar installation had a massive two and a half megabytes of memory and you needed forearms like Popeye to change a disk pack. Two hundred megs of online storage provided by a drive unit the size of a chest freezer, sitting with so many other similarly enormous, noisy and tastefully coloured boxes all housed in a refrigerator as big as a basketball court. There was no such concept as 'information technology' then – what we did was called 'electronic' or 'automated data processing' (EDP, ADP or just DP).

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at DotNetNuke.Framework.DefaultPage.OnLoad(EventArgs e) in e:\websites\tvtechnology.com\public_html\Default.aspx.cs:line 834
A good example
was relayed to me by
Tim Carroll, president
of Linear Acoustics in a
recent interview. Carroll likes to check out
mobile DTV broadcasts wherever he travels,
and did just that in an undisclosed location
in Washington, D.C. The place had a lot
of background noise and Carroll was hard
pressed to discern what was being spoken
as he attempted to listen and watch at the
same time.
"I had to put the mobile device up to
my ear [for the sound to be intelligible], but
then I couldn't see the picture. Or I could
watch the video and not understand what
was being said," Carroll said.
When I heard that, I thought this is yet
another example of poor speech intelligibility
of audio for video. This time the cause is
not necessarily poor production practices
at the front end— examples of which were
discussed in a previous column—but rather
problems at the transmission and reception
end. Although if there were problems with
production, that could only compound the
speech intelligibility problem for the listener.
These issues aren't limited to mobile DTV,
but can affect internet and over-the-top content
While home listening/viewing generally
occurs in a fairly well-controlled environment,
the same could not be said for
mobile devices. Crowd noise, traffic noise,
subway or train noise, any kind of noise that
surrounds the mobile listener can impair
speech intelligibility.
"Frequency response and distortion vary
wildly and they impact speech intelligibility
greatly," Carroll said. "For example, if the
background noise is loud, the tendency is to
crank the gain of the portable device, often
leading to distortion, which can interfere
with the speech, and it spirals from there."
Spiraling often to unsafe listening levels
in headphones or ear buds. And the listening
level, no matter how high it may go, may not
even be able to top the
Even if the noise level
is below listening level,
it can still mask speech,
especially if the spectral
content of the noise falls
within the speech-critical
500 Hz and 2000 Hz octave
bands, or even higher
for sibilant sounds (i.e.
Then there's the audio
quality and fidelity
of the device itself, as
well as any headphones
or plug-in loudspeakers.
With uneven or poor frequency
response in those critical bands, intelligibility could suffer.
The quality and operation of the audio decoder
can also be a contributing factor in
poor intelligibility.
"In mobile devices you have no idea
about how the decoder is implemented,"
Carroll said. "In many cases the people who
are doing the implementation are more concerned
about how the device looks as compared
with putting in quality components
and acoustics. The audio portion is not taken
into account."
But wait, there's more. Unlike AC-3 audio
encoding used in ATSC broadcasting, mobile
DTV doesn't employ metadata to control
such listening parameters as loudness or dynamic
range. Carroll found there is often too
much dynamic range for mobile devices.
And yet broadcasters hope to reach this
growing mobile audience and perhaps grab
their attention away from the music player
or games.
While various ATSC committees are addressing
these issues, there are some practices
that broadcasters can employ now, at
little or no cost, as outlined in Carroll's 2013
NAB Show presentation, "Practical Audio Issues
for Mobile Digital Television." In addition,
there are some things that broadcasters
should avoid.
Right away, this increases the mobile device
signal to background noise ratio and
gives the listener a better chance of hearing
what's being broadcast. Not only that, a 10
dB increase in audio level is generally perceived
as being twice as loud.
Increasing the loudness has another benefit,
not directly related to speech intelligibility,
but rather to listener enjoyment.
In research conducted by Dolby, it was
discovered that the loudness of television
content was, on average, 11 dB lower than
music accessed or stored on a mobile device
(Fig. 1). So raising the transmitted level of TV
content by 10 dB comes closer to achieving
parity with music levels.
Increasing the level, however, results in
10 dB less headroom, so a peak limiter following
the level shifter in the signal chain is
also required, Carroll said. This helps to avoid
overloading the subsequent high efficiency
(HE) AAC audio encoder.
According to Carroll, "the limiter should
prevent peaks from exceeding –3 dBFS to allow
for possible overshoots caused by the
bit-rate reduction process." (See Fig. 2.)
When creating a downmix from a 5.1
source for the mobile DTV audio feed, Carroll
suggests boosting the center (dialog)
channel to help increase intelligibility.
"The downmix is not intended to sound
like the original as no one listens on mobile
like they do at home," Carroll said. "So give
the dialog a little extra help. It's easy to do
and pretty much free."
If the source material is already stereo or
mono, try experimenting with frequency
contouring, the careful equalization followed
by peak limiting, Carroll said. He mentioned
new tools are coming down the pike
that will address this further.
Notice that on Carroll's to-do items, compression
isn't on the list. This may sound
counterintuitive, but compression can actually
decrease speech intelligibility. Here
we're talking about controlling and reducing
the peak to low ratio in an audio signal,
not bit-rate reduction.
Since speech intelligibility—for most
Western languages among others—relies on
consonant sounds, compression reduces the
"formant to trough" ratio, or in other words,
the level of fricatives (consonants) compared
with vowels.
"Processing for radio is not appropriate
for DTV, and processing for DTV is not appropriate
for mobile TV," Carroll said.
Wideband AGC systems "can create
unintended audible spectral shifts, especially
impacting high-frequency content,"
he added. "Multiband techniques avoid
the psychoacoustic spectral shift, but can
damage peaks and valleys. Controls to prevent
this are not found on typical audio
processors, so stations cannot just drop
an off-the-shelf unit in line and get desired
results. It will be a fight between control
and intelligibility."
Listen to your station's broadcast on one
or more mobile devices. If speech isn't as
intelligible as it should be, give these ideas
a try.
Some current mobile DTV audio processors
such as the Linear Acoustic AERO.
mobile already support these new developments,
according to Carroll. But stay tuned.
There could be some future processing
technology coming our way.

Fall semester ended this past week with finals and events associated with the pomp and circumstance of graduation. The College of Nursing (CON) had 125 graduates who were awarded the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Master of Science in Nursing, Doctor of Nursing Practice, or Doctor of Philosophy. Faculty, family, and friends gathered in the Bennett Auditorium for the CON Recognition Ceremony to acknowledge the accomplishments of our graduates. It was a gratifying event for all.
The significance of the events this past week extends beyond the personal achievements of our graduates. The number of graduates and the diversity of the degrees emphasize The University of Southern Mississippi College of Nursing's commitment to meet the health indicators of our population and nursing workforce projections. The Institute of Medicine Report Future of Nursing Leading Change, Advancing Health has issued the challenge to transform nursing and health care. Our faculty and our graduates accept that challenge to become leaders in this change. In the words of Nelson Mandela "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."

Dancing to 'nothing', get ready for the silent discos
Saturday February 13 2016
What is the one thing that is synonymous with clubs, apart from alcohol and skimpily dressed waitresses? Loud music, right?
Well, not exactly. Not if you are Mutuma Mwiraria Kalinga, 20, who is seeking to dispel this notion with the introduction of "silent discos" into the local entertainment scene through his company, Wireless Events.
The trend sees revellers dance in clubs, or at other social events, to music played through personal headphones rather than the conventional loud speakers. Silent discos, or silent raves, is a novel idea that is fast catching up.
Popularly known as Jason, the idea's local pioneer got wind of it while searching for headphones online. "I stumbled upon the idea in August last year through a website called Silent Safaris. It's an Australian-based company that does silent discos. I got
interested and decided to start the trend here in Kenya," he says.
After contacting the company, Mutuma armed himself with about Sh1 million and ordered around 250 headphones.
"The money accounted for the items, importation and other costs," he says.
Although a first in Kenya, silent discos were first witnessed in a 1969 Finnish science-fiction film Ruusujen Aika (A Time of Roses) where the motion picture's characters wore headsets during a party.
Silent gigs continued to gather pace in Europe, and, later, to minimise the racket brought about by parties, curb noise pollution and reduce disturbance to wildlife. Eco-activists are said to have adopted the trend in the 1990s in several of their outdoor events.
The popularity associated with silent raves soared so much that later, lexicographers at the Oxford Online Dictionary updated their roster and added "Silent Discos" into their library of words in February 2011. According to the site, the noun means "an event
at which people dance to music that is transmitted through wireless headphones rather than over a speaker system."
Since then, companies offering the services have been setting up shop in the developed world and all are reportedly experiencing a boom in business. In the UK, six companies have been registered since 2013, according to the Telegraph, signaling a rise in
demand for silent discos. To spruce up matters, the firms do more than hold events in clubs; they also offer the service at weddings, house parties and live concerts.
Talking about live concerts, the biggest one to date was held on July 2, 2011, in France at Parc Paul Mistral. The concert, organised by Silent Arena company, was as orthodox as they come — it had lights, DJs, screens, a raised stage, security and other
staff, but the over 8,000 attendees put on luminous headphones and danced to "nothing" in what was described as one of the most epic nights in France's entertainment industry.
Closer home, South Africa and Uganda have had successful stabs at silent discos. But how do they work?
It all starts when you walk into a club, or any other entertainment joint. The usual routine of being frisked by a bouncer is still there, but instead of being led to a table amid ear-splitting music, one is handed a pair of headphones.
"Three different songs or genres of music are transmitted at the same time to receivers in the headphones. One has the freedom to switch over to another channel and listen to a different song," says Mutuma.
"Every channel is designated to a specific DJ who plays a specific genre of music. Once you put the headphones on, you can switch to whichever DJ you want," he added.
According to Mutuma, having three different channels to toggle with means that you can switch off — through a control located on the headphones — a DJ whose music you do not like. One can even knob the volume up or down through a dial on the headphones to avoid the occasional headaches associated with clubbing and loud music.
"The headphones can glow red, green or blue, depending on which channel you are listening to, or have switched to. So if, say, hip hop is red, then your headphones will glow red. The headphones are also good for conversation since one does not have to shout as happens in conventional clubs; all you have to do is take them off and talk," he says.
Whereas we are used to clubs or events having one DJ at the decks, his parties have three of them playing music at the same time to feed the three available channels afforded by the headphones. This has been the case in Mutuma's last two successful outings at Purdy Arms in Karen, a venue he used for free, and Steve's Stakehouse on Ngong Road where he paid Sh60,000 for the whole night. Here, he had DJs like Kace, Muroe, Fab, Soul Syndicate and Factory DJs.
"I'm currently organising another gig at the Galleria Food Court in Karen, owing to the positive reception accorded to the other events."
Although he's relentlessly marketing Wireless Events through avenues like social media and radio, many Kenyans are still not aware of Silent Discos. But that is not the only thing he has to deal with, he has to draw up a plan to prevent revellers leaving with his merchandise during or after a party.
"Currently, we get your ID card and put it in an envelope that has the number of the specific headphone issued to you. In case you decide to leave with the headphones, we remain with your ID and follow it up later. The other option is where people leave
cash deposits or, better still, where we hire extra security to ensure that no one leaves with headphones. So far, we've had no thefts," explains Mutuma.
The former Hillcrest School student charges either Sh1,000 or Sh2,000 to anyone who wants to wear the headphones at his events. To boost his business, he also rents out the kit.
Although the international silent disco scene has evolved to include headphones with four channels and has branched out to fields in fitness like yoga, boot camps and spin classes, where headphones mean the instructor doesn't have to shout and no one needs earplugs, and even to "silent comedies," the market in Kenya is still young and needs time.
Will all this phase out conventional club experiences? "We do not mean to replace other clubs with silent raves. Yes, we've had successful gigs but what we are doing is providing an alternative; a healthier option I'd say, to what we are used to," says 20-year-old James Mburu, alias DJ Muroe, a third-year law student at Riara University who also doubles as a producer and audio engineer.
"I'll admit it that when organising the events, we were shaky about the new concept, but the reception was amazing. Even the skeptics are now fully into the idea," he adds.

E3 2002: RPG Maker 2 announced
Agetec announced today that they will be releasing the second addition of RPG Maker to the Playstation 2. Known for publishing the Armored Core series, Agetec hopes to improve upon its Designer Series with RPG Maker 2. The game allows players to build their own turn-based combat RPG, with detailed controls for the scripting of events, monster encounters, and dialogue. Keyboard support will be available through the PS2's USB port for easy accessibility. RPG Maker 2 features a 3D fantasy world with a more complex toolset than the original. The new toolset includes character generators, background editors, special effects editors, text editors, and monster generators.
  "RPG Maker 2 gives players their first opportunity to prove themselves as 3D game designers," said Sullivan. "Using the power of the PS2 to back this truly unique title, RPG Maker offers everything players could need to bring their own fantasy gameworlds to life."

'Don't teach Marathi to migrants'
While the civic body plans to educate the 2-lakh immigrant population in Marathi, Raj Thackeray-led MNS believes introducing the language to non-Maharashtrians would prove to be a bane for locals, as they would snatch jobs away from the Marathi manoos.
In a bid to endorse and propagate Marathi language, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has planned to form a special committee that would ensure the two-lakh immigrant population in the city learns Marathi.
Samartha Marathi Sanstha, which works for the conservation of Marathi language, had proposed the formation of 'Marathi Bhasha Sanvardhan' in November last year. The PMC's Standing Committee had approved the proposal on December 17.
However the plan may now receive major setback, as Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) is against any such idea. The party says introducing the language to migrants would prove as a bane to the locals because the former would snatch away jobs —, which require ability to read and write Marathi — from the Marathi manoos.
'Waste of money'
"There is no need to waste tax payer's money on teaching Marathi to immigrants, who will later dominate and snatch jobs meant for the sons of the soil. How they learn Marathi is their problem.
Why is the civic body so bothered about them?" said Bala Shedge, city president of the MNS. He added that his party has, in writing, expressed its disagreement to PMC Commissioner Mahesh Pathak.
"Rather than spending money on this, the civic body should look after the Marathi medium schools it runs. The quality of education is falling drastically in these schools," said Ajay Shinde, city vice-president of the MNS.
Speaking to MiD DAY, Anil Gore, chairperson of Samarth Marathi Sanstha, said, "The committee hasn't been formed as yet, since we are awaiting final approval of PMC's General Body." Gore added that there are around 2 lakh people in the city who do not understand Marathi.
"If we really want to conserve the language, we'll have to introduce the language to them. As an organisation, we are firm on our stand."

One year ago, before Fate took a wrecking ball to his life, Nichol was happily working on his doctorate in linguistics. Now he's hip deep in sheep, mud and collies. His late brother and mother had been well suited to life on Seacliff Farm. Nichol? Not so much.
As lambing season progresses in the teeth of an icy north wind, the last straw is the intruder Nichol catches in the barn. He says his name is Cam, and he's on the run from a Glasgow gang. Something about the young man's tired resignation touches Nichol deeply, and instead of giving him the business end of a shotgun, he offers Cam a blanket and a place to stay.
Somehow, Cam quickly charms his way through Nichol's defenses and into his heart. Even his grandfather takes to the cheeky city boy, whose hard work and good head for figures help set the farm back on its feet.
As the cold Scottish springtime melts into summer, Nichol finds himself falling in love. When tragedy strikes, Cam's resolutely held secret is finally revealed and Nichol must face the truth. He's given his heart away, and it's time to pay the price.

Keeping her distance is pretty tough, now that Sean is the head of the family publishing company. Forced into close contact, denying her long-suppressed attraction is getting harder by the day.
As Sydney grew from a shy, sweet teen to a mind-numbing beauty, Sean could only stand by and watch, his father's warning ringing in his ears. Hands off.
But now they're both adults. And it won't be long before he ends one of their daily, nose-to-nose office arguments by just hauling off and kissing her.

Happy Birthday to my old friend from Tiffin, Chris Neukom. For many years Chris has been involved in hot shot programs (fighting forest fires) out of Colorado and Im sure he would have been interested in the fires along the Dalton Highway yesterday.
Leaving camp was a sad experience. Everyone goes out in the field during the day so the camp feels like a hot, dusty ghost town. A couple of people were there to see me off but everyone else was off doing something else. Being at Toolik was such a full experience that it was hard to believe I had only been there a little more than two weeks.
The ride along the Dalton was much different this time. On the way North the feeling of anticipation and the fact that each mile held never before seen things made the trip very exciting. Also on the way North the scenery improves the farther North you go. On teh return the views go from dramatic, to pretty nice, to OK and then you see a Taco Bell.
Adding to the overall gloomy feeling of the day were the fires that continued to burn South of Coldfoot. Hot shot teams and helicopters had been working to protect Coldfoot so only the smoke traveled north of there. On foot people worked on fire lines and I was interested to learn that they use my favorite chemical potassium permanganate to start controlled burns from the air. In places that are hard to get to by foot or with vehicles, helicopters can drop ping-pong ball sized spheres filled with potassium permanganate. Just before they are dropped an ingnitor is added and the chemical reaction starts the decomposition of the potassium permanganate. This chemical burns hot and it produces oxygen as it burns so a very hot flame is achieved very quickly.
When I went north I saw flames. This time I felt the heat. As we drove south after stopping at Coldfoot for dinner ($23 dollar all you can eat buffet and it was worth it) we began to see increasing amounts of smoke. Over the CB you could hear people talking about zero visibility for 10-20 or 50 yards. Our driver, Chris, noted that it was the worst he had seen it and he makes the trip 4 times a week.
If you look closely you can see that there are flames at the bottom of this smoke. It didn't photograph as I hoped but it was a raging fire as we passed.
The fires began with a lightning strike on May 30. Initially the fire was allowed to take its natural course but as it neared Coldfoot and peoples homes efforts were marshaled to suppress it. So far they have been successful and Coldfoot has been smoky but fine. As of my visit 91,000 acres had been burnedsmall by Alaska standards.
Chris mentioned that this was the first time he had seen yellowish thick smoke rather than white. Nearing one particularly bad section we could see the smoke, thick yellow and billowing forth much faster than at any other spot. The fire was burning strong and the smell was noxious. The man riding shotgun rolled down the window to take a picture and Chris said, Sebastian, you are going to want to roll up that window, in a calm voice that belied concern. Seconds later we were moving at 3 mph and looking out for the edge of the road to make it through. I would not have known where we were on the road except that this section happened to have a centerline. I could see this line if I looked directly down out the window but it was still hard to see. Then we felt the heat. Suddenly we could see large orange flames about 10 feet high out the window. Jim the passenger to my right said that he could feel the heat, and a little later we could feel it on both sides of the van. It felt like the kind of heat that is felt when you are too close to a bonfire.
That spot near the Jim River 3 was the worst. The smoke remained with us for the next 150 miles all the way to Fairbanks. Visibility of the road was fine but all scenery in the distance was obscured by the haze. The sun was an orange ball that seemed too close with its glare and halo removed. Just an orange sphere seen through the smoke just above the hills behind us.
In Coldfoot we had picked up Jim, a bicyclist who chose not to ride 3 days through the smoke. He began to ask about free spots to camp and where might be a good place to just set up a tent. Chris said, Dont get shot, this is Alaska, and Jim didnt take that so well. He didnt react right away but it set the seed for anger. Jim was a nice man but it was clear that he had biked all over the west coast and did not feel like being told to avoid getting shot.
I was happy to spend 10 dollars at the Tanana (pronounced Tana Na NOT like banana) Campground for a spot to unroll my sleeping bag. As we got closer to the campground Chris mentioned that if Jim wanted to get out with me he would have to split the 15 dollar drop off fee with me. I said that I didnt mind paying it but was too late. Chris and Jim were already hotly debating why Jim would have to pay anything just to get off at a place they were already stopping. I considered offering to share my campsite but with exhaustion setting in I must admit that I wasnt thinking too clearly and I just chose to stay out of the fight. It was sad to put a sour note right at the end of long trip.
At 12:30 I found my very small site and was glad it was just me. The Tanana valley campground is fine but it is clearly a spot for car camping and campers. I only saw a few other tents and they seemed to be near campers anyway. I found a spot and was happy to have a inflatable mattress that someone had left behind. I always have a bit of trouble getting to sleep when it is light out but the fitful tossing and turning only lasted a few minutes and I slept well.
Well that is until red squirrels or the Alaska equivalent began chirping, screeching and creaking not more than 10 feet from my head. This was a well used campground and maybe they were waiting for me to feed them or for me to get out of the way. The final straw was when one walked right across my sleeping bag (I didnt have a tent) and I had to kick it off. I decided to wake up and start my last two days in Alaska.

ROBERTO Martinez reckons the man in the opposite dugout today has absolutely nothing to prove at Spurs.
André Villas-Boas was sensationally axed as Chelsea boss last season before taking up the job at White Hart Lane in the summer.
Questions were asked about his Stamford Bridge appointment but Martinez says he has already proven to be a top manager,
"The success he had at Porto was incredible," said the Latics boss.
"He beat every previous record and that speaks a lot about a young manager.
"I do feel that under Villas-Boas, Spurs will be very successful in the Premier League.
"You need time to get the players and know what you want and to develop a certain way."
That said, Martinez does think his side has what it takes to turn Spurs over.
He added: "We know what level we need to be at to get a positive result and that's what we'll look for."

A printed resume is something every job seeker should have on hand, and it is one way to demonstrate your professionalism. Don't assume that the interviewer will have a copy of your resume (although they should), bring several printed resumes with you (even if you only plan to see one person). Your resume is probably the first thing a potential employer will see before interviewing you, it's essential to print it in a way that is crisp and professional.
Suggested Reading: How To Write A Resume: Resume Writing Skills That Land You the Job (Resume Writing Skills Book 2): Increase the Firepower of your Resume with these Advanced Resume Writing Strategies
Printing a Professional Resume
Paper – Use high-quality paper. You can purchase resume paper, which is a bit thicker and more textured than normal printer paper, from office supply stores. Although it is more expensive than regular paper, it will make an immediate impression on potential employers.
No Rainbows – Unless you are interviewing for a creative position, you resume should be printed with black ink only. Avoid the temptation to add any colored fonts to your resume, which not only looks unprofessional, but could also make the resume harder to read, especially if the individual reading it has poor vision. Avoid the temptation to use gray hues. Although they're not technically colors, mixing gray in with black lettering will make the resume look unprofessional and clunky.
Use a Quality Printer – High quality paper and great content won't help if you print your resume on a low quality printer. Print your resume with a laser printer if possible. While an inkjet printers are generally fine for printing resumes, the ink can smudge and may run if it gets wet. Resumes printed with laser printers will have ink that is less vulnerable to smudging, and that won't run as easily if the potential employer gets it wet at some point.
Keep it Flat – Keep your resume crisp, avoiding any creases or dents in the paper. The easiest way to keep your resume in good shape and ensure that it ends up in hiring manager's hands unscathed is to transport it in a hard, thick folder. While you can use a resume folder (which is a sophisticated folder created specifically for this purpose) a regular file folder should serve the purpose.
No Crazy Fonts – Use a standard business fonts. Helvetica, Ariel, Times New Roman or courier fonts are all fine. Although more modern fonts can be used as long as they are readable and don't get in the way of the text. Avoid using a mix and match of multiple fonts, which can cause eye strain, and will make the resume look unprofessional. Avoid using "fancy" fonts and NEVER use Comic Sans!
Formatting – There are a variety of formats you can use for your resume (see Resume Formats). While you can create a hybrid of formats you should avoid creating a format that is entirely unique or different by using a relatively obscure formatting. This practice will not make you look creative, but it will make you stand out – for the wrong reasons. Maintain a visage of professionalism by using a standard resume format.
Visually Appealing – Your resume should remain consistent throughout the document. Avoid using more than one type of formatting, which will look messy and confusing and will cause the hiring manager to think that you did a haphazard job of putting together a resume. If the resume spans multiple pages, be sure that the formatting is the same on each page.
Printing – Only print on one side of the paper. It may be tempting to print a multiple-page resume on both the front and back of the paper to save money (or trees), especially if you're using expensive resume paper. While the intention is good, this practice will make it difficult for someone to scan through your resume, and appears unprofessional.

Thousands bid adieu to Ganesha
September 25, 2007
Thousands of devotees flocked Mumbai's Chowpati beach on Tuesday to offer their prayers to lord Ganesh on the occasion of Anant Chaturdashi, the final day for immersion of Ganesh idols.
Chants of "Ganpati Bappa Morya, pudchya varshi lavkar ya" rented the air as processions carrying the biggest idols of the elephant god converged in Chowpati.
Seen in the picture is one of the bigger idols that was among the first to be immersed.

has anyone tryed this combo? if so can u link the specs that u went and glyphs u use and some strat. how do u think this combo would work?
has anyone tryed this combo? if so can u link the specs that u went and glyphs u use and some strat. how do u think this combo would work?
I've never seen this comp, but any comp is possible given skill.
If i were trying to make a Gib team id go with Rogue Ret Mage DK combos.
Fab 4 ftw?
Fix'dOriginally Posted by DuesEx
I've played against this combo at 1700+ so must be decent, although we did face roll them :P
Warlock is a total victim in most cases unless played real well. Either way, he will be targeted without a doubt, and if theres a rogue the warlock wouldn't get the chance to apply more then a couple of dots before dying.
DK can only do so much, and is easily kited by a lot of classes
Weaker than most double dps classes especially against rogue/mage. The warlock will die before he gets even 1 dot off.
You'll beat bad teams but it wont go far. Locks require a little more help than a DK can provide. They either need a partner that can heal them or CC and DKs can't do either well enough.
70 Warlock - The Scryers
80 Hunter - Gorefiend
80 Druid - Gorefiend
80 Death knight - Gorefiend
80 Shaman - Gorefiend
80 Mage - Gorefiend
Have played against a 2000+ team. Actually, we won most, but lost one. Don't underestimate them, but I got no armory link to help you.
well i play lock DK now since we started dropping pve for full pvp playing, at the beginning it was a lot of trying with what spec we should go, in the end unholy/haunt sl worked out best just sucked by that time we were already at terrible rating and now slowly climbing up, the basic thing is youre dk needs to know exactly how to peel the dps of the lock. most of the time if i get the chance to fully dot both targets its a win for us since the control on most healers is pretty nice since you got chains deathgrip strangulate fear skillcoil IHOT spell lock and some other interuptions on the healer.
there is just one thing if we meet a hunter the only chance is me hiding till the dk has almost killed the hunter and then show myself purely to skillcoil/fear the healer cause hunters rape my ass more then anything
Tried this, and it basically went like this:
See (or not if druid/rogue stealth) check opponents, have the DK charge in, while Lock tries to keep one feared, (depending,) the DK will be about half health if the opponent was dps (DK is unholy) Lock was dead about.. 10-20 seconds once the fighting began. even demo spec'ed.
now.. DK and a Mage... that would be an amazing combo. (for Dps/Dps anyway.)
my two cents.
War doesn't decide who's right, It decides who's left.
Hehe fun to read some of this :b Im at 2k rating together with a DK m8 atm. Yes it is a hard setup to play and you really need to learn how to play to survive longer than 10 sec :P. Im meta/destro specc ofc gem stamina and resi to survive and demon armorn on in most cases. It is kinda fun setup actually since you have really nice burst and most double dps setups are easy to win over. But as we all know warlocks survivability sucks and some setups are close to impossible, such as hunter paladin. Hunter can easily kill you before we can do enough dmg on pally or hunter. (damn buble)
.. anyway , dont mind the bullshit that some ppl wrote before here that DK/lock dont have a chanse agains other double dps team .. We actually want to go agains double dps team .. mage/rogue is fun games if you know how to do it.
mupps could you paste an armory link with that info plz? not to check evidence just i play same setup and like to see others doing it since youre rating is way higher then mine were just slowly climbing up now so it would help me alot ty
lol im playing in the 1900/2000 bracket , warrior/rogue.. and EVERY TIME we meet holydin DK , i see the DK at 26k+ health , paladin at 22k+ health its like... lets afk out ...Originally Posted by Janz
To the OP : Kiting might be the way , but it needs coordination beyond everything really... basically you and the DK need to assign who does what , fear , freeze , fear , freeze .. switch it around basically whilst you dot them up , the DK chops the (healer?) while trowing in the freeze on whatever is trying to gib you ... and you are free to DoT
whenever he gets to close , have him death grip... whenever theres a rogue , you use trinket+demon circle to get away , and the DK has free game on the rogue while you fear/skillcoil the healer...
feral druids / surv hunters will be hardest for your comp , since they counter your weak points (mobility) with their mobility. But i wish you good luck. and make sure to post your results!
and holydin+anything you should be able to beat , with appropriate timing
first play 100-200 matches together before you judge tough , it takes a while to get to know each others playstyle

as you can see haunt/sl specc atm, tried that for a while but didnt go that very well .. gonna try some haunt/sl in 3vs3 now
Do you always start with a voidwalker?? I guess so, if you want to survive the initial focus. Maybe this could be viable if the warlock is well geared and the dk always focus on the heavy dps guy.Though, i don't see how you can survive against double melee teams, ie retri / warrior or rogue/retri.
I have a couple of DK's I like to run with from time to time and I'm curious what you all think of this setup.
basically the DK does his aoe deth grip. followed by a warlock shadowfury then pop my burst macro
cast Dark Soul: Knowledge
/use Dreadful Gladiator's Badge of Dominance
/cast Grimoire: Felguard
/cast Axe Toss
/cast Felstorm
and finish up with meta and 2x Chaos Wave.
You just bumped 09' thread, back when warlocks had like minos 2 defensive cooldowns, and had like 6 spells in their arsenal.
so all of this isnt relavent anymore, warlocks are a hell cannon tankers, though dk are now at the shorter end of the stick.
we'v come a long way since wotlk
Any double DPS team can work relatively well considering how many self-heals and escapes most classes have these days.
So long as both players know their class well and how to peel for their partner or escape and reset, it's worth giving it a shot. Would recommend Frost for the DK, considering how insane the burst is and Demo for the lock.

Films and videos suitable for review in LAP are those that contribute to ongoing discussions and debates about transformations of Latin American socio-economic, political and cultural realities. Films may be any genre – documentary, drama or comedy feature, experimental, etc. – and a review may discuss a single or several related films, for example on a common theme such as immigration or the environment or sharing an approach such as biography or use of archival material.
The objective of the journal is to encourage class analysis of socio-cultural realities and political strategies to transform Latin American sociopolitical structures (See LAP Mission Statement here.) We believe film and video contribute to ongoing discussions and debates about such transformations. Top priority will be given to films that address significant issues that have received inadequate discussion or visual representation in the media or that are in sharp dispute. We encourage reviews of the work of established as well as upcoming Latin American filmmakers and/or independent filmmakers whose work is focused on Latin America. We prioritize films with social and artistic merit that have not received U.S. commercial theatrical distribution and are less likely to be known to U.S. audiences. Whenever possible we will attempt to match film reviews to LAP thematic issue topics.
All film reviews should be original work, which has not been published in English and is not under consideration for publication in the same or similar form in another publication. As a rule, we limit reviews to work released in the last three years. However, we might also publish dossiers on particular filmmakers, film movements, and film collectives, from time to time, in which case earlier films may be reviewed.
Review Content and Format
Reviews should address both film form and content but should be written to be comprehensible to a wide audience. Reviews should run approximately 1,000 words for a single film or 2000 words for reviews of two or three films using paginated double-spaced 12-point text with 1 inch margins, including notes and references. Please follow the LAP style guidelines available here.
Manuscripts may be submitted in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. If you do not write in English with near native fluency, please submit in your first language. LAP will translate manuscripts accepted in another language.
We encourage illustrating reviews with a maximum of four stills submitted as separate attachments. See the Artwork Submission Guidelines (click here) for technical standards. Reviewers are responsible for securing the rights to film stills from directors or production companies. LAP film review editors will work with authors to select appropriate images for the reviews.
Submitting Film Review Proposals and Manuscripts
Before submitting a full review, please send a short proposal to the LAP film review editors: Kristi M. Wilson (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Tomás Crowder-Taraborrelli (email@example.com) with a copy to the LAP office: email@example.com. Please feel free to contact them with questions pertaining to a proposed review.
Submit completed manuscripts directly to the LAP office as a Word document by e-mail to: email@example.com with the subject line – "Author's name – film review [film title]".
Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in the journal, if accepted by LAP.
Film-Related Book Reviews
We will also consider review essays of books on film or video. Follow the guidelines for book reviews (click here.)

Non-OEM gloss optimizer for Epson R1900/R2000
I recently purchased the Inkjetfly pigmented inks for the Epson R2000 and I am very satisfied with them except for the gloss optimizer. The inkset consists of color inks made by Inkjetfly, Inkjetfly V3 Photo Black and Matte Black made by Image Specialists. The ink droplets spread on paper a bit more than the OEM-inks, but the minimal diference is only seen by a close inspection. The gamut is a little worse at an end and a little better at another, overall similar. The Dmax also. The bronzing and gloss differential is lower than the OEM inks. The problem is its gloss optimizer. It seems to cause bleeding to the darker tones so the contrast becomes narrower and the image somewhat blurred. There's also an overall yellow cast, compared to the print without the GO. I never mixed these inks with OEM gloss optimizer, but I strongly suspect there's something wrong with IJF GO. If something is printed without GO and then a blank sheet with GO over the already printed image, the final results is a very fine image (without blurring, bleeding or cast), but with some paper roller marks.
So, does anyone know a better non-OEM gloss optimizer for R1900/R2000 that wouldn't produce blurred images nor would be susceptible to paper roller marks? OCP, Image Specialists, Conecolor, or any off-brand GO?
