I hope they make 10 ppl versions of them harder,than I'd understand it better
killing kael with 5 sucks to lmao
but he was like killed before and came back with crystal things :s
makes more sense to me(about killing him ez not about coming back that was kinda wtf)
can you immagen the size of malygos?you need 200 hunters for an accupunctior session
and I was like,arthas...if you don't stop killing ppl I'll kick you in da nouts
Honestly, I play alot. I love raiding and would prefer running 10 mans everyday I can, then 25 mans when we have the people and will to do so.
As it stands, 25 man content is a 2-3 day a week thing... if i'm lucky. ZA and Kara are 3-4 hours a week each and can even be done back to back the same day. Sure that sounds like alot but that's my point it's not enought to:
a) Fill up my time on slow weeks.
b) Provide a solid variation on accessable content when we don't have the people to do 25 mans.
Sure I love 25 mans but to say that making content that gives lesser gear more accessable somehow diminishes your enjoyment is narrow minded.
I'm not going to sit here and say "I respect that" then call you stupid so...
I'm pretty much just going to call you stupid.
I bet you raid Sunwell and the other 25mans, don't you?Originally Posted by Requital
Get off your cloud and accept the fact other players like other aspects of the game, and even that some people don't want to be in a big raiding guild, but want to see a bit more of the world than they can without switching to a big raiding guild and becoming a number/specc.
XyGotN, I understand why you think it's weird to see ten people kill Arthas, but so is having people kill Arthas at all. If we should all respect the lore in that way then no one should be able to kill such bosses. But see it like this; we aren't really killing them, we are in an instance where we pretend to face off the big names of Warcraft lore. That's how I maintain my idea of the lore. If Blizzard were to release Warcaft 4, they wouldn't say that "Kungen and his loyal friends killed Arthas", they would come up with another story. I do share your same feeling about it though
On the topic of 10-man dungeons being easier, I can't agree. I haven't gotten the chance to do them myself, but there's no reason for them to be easier in terms of difficulty. The difference is that they require less time to gather players. And for that extra time and effort spent, you get better loot. The difficulty can be the same or even harder, since there's less room for slackers.
Thank you for proving my point 100% I could go on with this all day but I don't need to.Originally Posted by Gnowo
Having killed Kael in 25 and 5 man versions, the 25 man version was soooo much more epic. THAT is for me the reason why I always will try to get into 25 man raids (been raiding since MC, but 40 ppl coordination was just a big headache)

If you wanna raid 25 man then why would you care who if someone kills the same boss with 10? The loot and achievement isn't the same, you will still be superior when comparing your epeen with others. stfu, elitist jerk.
And yes I'm a 25 man raider but I don't get why people moan about stuff like this. ITS A GAME everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy it not only those who have 6 hours daily to raid hardcore.

i'm fairly excited that if sometime in the future my entire guild decides to take a vaction like it did when we were working on m'uru, we wont be stuck clearing bt with 20 people.
the gear isnt as good, but, it's raiding, and thats what counts.
I like bigger raids. A 10 raid dragon kill is simply not epic. I wouldn't say abolish 10 mans, as they're fun, but just copying every dungeon and making a 10 man dungeon is goofy. They aren't designed for small groups and it just doesn't fit. I think it would be better to have the 25 man naxx the "main" chambers and the 10 man can be the "underhalls" or something. That way they can scale encounters better and give the environment a more accurate feel like they do with ZA.Originally Posted by xyGotN
And honestly, I like mechanics that force me to socialize. The less socializing that's necessary and the more narcissistic maniacs the game gives rise to. Too much of wow's community is basically just a polluted collection of brats and assholes already. Telling people they only have to find 9 other people to even get along with in order to succeed just seems to encourage the behavior more. Now you can experience the entire game without even meeting more than 9 people, very disappointing.
Well, the game didn't make them that...they were like that before they played WoW. A condescending attitude, but...well, probably fits 50% of the overall population of the world in any aspect, game and society?Originally Posted by Zarcob
Personally I would've liked to see 15-man raids, i'm not sure why
Why does no one on Earth understand the concept of an opinion? OPINION - IT CAN'T BE RIGHT, IT CAN'T BE WRONG. No one's forcing you to do 10 mans, no one's forcing you to do 25 mans. Do whatever the hell you want, if you don't like it, pay MY $15 a month. Simple as that. Until you start paying my subscription, shut your damn mouth and keep your opinions to yourself.
Disagree.Originally Posted by xyGotN
I think it is an amazing step. 25 man is just out of reach for the majority of the playerbase, and that is why they leave/get bored. It is in Blizz' best intrests to make the GAME as accecessable to the most amount of people as possible. Just because your in the minority of players that actaully care enough about it to complain, doesn't mean it's a bad idea. Forty man was a nightmare to organize, and frankly, so is 25 man. RARELY do you have 10 people that are 'skilled' enough to perform well every raid, let alone 25 peple, hwere most of them are just there for the e-peen increase, and not the actual content.
You still have your precious 25 man version, with better gear, so what are you complaining about again?
thanks zarcob that's exacly what I meen,I'll miss the epic feeling,the chaos.the rush of beeing there with a large group,I already missed that from first tbc 25 raids.Where you are like hey boss drops 3 things so 3/25 will be rewarded,if I can put it like this(ppl seem to like to change my words here)but we don't care,we are a team,we all fight to help eachother and they will help me get my stuff to,those feelings will vanish

DARIEN, N.Y. (WIVB) – A teenager wearing dark clothing was fatally struck by an SUV in the Town of Darien just after 10 p.m. Wednesday.
The Genesee County Sheriff's Office says 19-year-old Dean Cullinan was walking his bicycle in the eastbound lane of Genesee Street when he was hit. Investigators say the 31-year-old driver didn't see Cullinan because he was wearing dark clothing and because there was an oncoming car in the westbound lane.
The Corfu teen was pronounced dead at the scene.
Pembroke Superintendent Matt Calderon released the following statement regarding Cullinan's death:
"Dean was a fun person, extremely likeable, and I remember his great performance in the high school play when he was a senior. Our focus now will be to support his family and friends through the grieving process."
The investigation is continuing.

Does someone have a right to claim fifty percent of an idea without an investment?
Posted on August 08, 2011
About 10 years ago a friend and myself came up with a business idea. I made the entire investment in starting it and worked on it every day and had him as an employee for 2 years when he decided he did not want to work for me anymore. A few years later he started his own business with the same exact concept and failed...he now moved across the country and his nephew is stuck in a rut. He wrote on a piece of paper giving him 50% of my company...is there any LEGAL action they can take if I refuse this since there was no investment on their part and they have not put in any effort to help this business flourish?

It's been ages since I've scoured the Internet, looking for affordable, on-trend things, so here it goes!
The festive season is coming around and I'm usually all about the dresses and tend to just wear the same, boring pair of black heels. They look nice, but I can't walk in them for longer than an hour, so what's the point?
I think it's time to find party shoes that are not only B-E-A-utiful, but also affordable and comfortable!
So I've spotted new wave of low-heel sandals that most high street brands have copied off the SS17 runways. Theses have been given a festive tweak with embellishment, embroidery and interesting textures. I'm all for it! Here are my favourites:

The secret to an easy juicy roast chicken is to slow cook it first, then just pop it into a hot oven for 10 minutes to brown the skin and whisk up a quick gravy. It takes mere minutes to prepare to put in the slow cooker making Sunday Roast Chicken a dinner you can serve up any day of the week!
When I first started taking an interest in cooking, roast chicken was probably the dish I cooked the most. I was on a Perfect Roast Chicken Mission to find the ultimate recipe to make roast chicken without the breast meat drying out. These are some of the various methods I tried:
- protecting the breast with foil for some of the cooking time (didn't think it made a huge difference);
- covering it with bacon or prosciutto (didn't really work. Tasty crispy bacon though);
- spreading butter between the skin and the flesh (fiddly. Tore the flesh every time);
- spreading ricotta under the skin (even more fiddly);
- basting it 5 times during roasting (way too high maintenance);
- searing the chicken before roasting it (I had temporarily lost my mind. Have you ever tried to sear a whole chicken evenly? It's impossible.);
- covering the baking dish with foil (worked ok after browning the skin. Cooking time was 50% longer); and
- using oven bags (super juicy chicken. But it sweats so much inside the bag that there's pretty much no point having any seasoning on the chicken skin at all because it runs off. It also takes longer to brown and crisp up the skin because it is so wet.)
Most of these still made a tasty chicken. But none were The One. Then I came across Thomas Keller's brined roast chicken (PS he is a super star "serious" chef, owner of Per Se in New York and the French Laundry in San Fran). Brining infuses the chicken with amazing flavour as well as trapping the juices. You will be amazed how juicy the chicken breast is. I've shared a recipe using this brining method – Succulent Roast Chicken. It's dead easy, and making the brine is quick but then you need to wait for it to cool then leave the chicken in it at least overnight.
So for all those days that I want to make roast chicken but don't have the time to brine, I make this Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Roast Chicken. It's a recipe I came up when I got my first slow cooker, just one of those things you throw together that's actually a success and ends up being a keeper for life. I change up the herbs, sometimes I omit the lemon and use onion instead, sometimes I rub the chicken with other spices. But I always use this same method.
It is insanely easy to make. It will take you 5 minutes to prepare to put in the slow cooker, then set and forget. You can serve up the chicken straight out of the slow cooker if you want, but for me, the extra 10 minutes to brown the skin in a hot oven is a "must do". You can see in the above photo the difference it makes to the look of the chicken but it's not just about aesthetics, it's flavour as well. Browning the skin caramelises it and crisps it up. And because the fat renders out during the slow cooking, it takes hardly any time to brown and crisp the skin – just 10 minutes in a hot oven. Besides, you can multi task and make the gravy while the chicken is in the oven!
So, moving onto the gravy. I am quite dubious when I read recipes claiming an "amazing gravy" made from slow cooker juices because the key to a great gravy is scraping up all the burnt brown bits at the bottom of the roasting pan and you just don't get that from slow cooking. The best way around this for slow cooking is to sear the meat first, then deglaze the pan (which is just adding a splash of stock or water so the brown bits stuck to the pan dissolve into the liquid) and pour the liquid into the slow cooker.
But you can't do this for a chicken. Have you ever tried to sear a chicken? I have, during my Perfect Roast Chicken Mission. Eerm…it doesn't work. Why I thought it would work is beyond me. Maybe I was tipsy when I came up with the idea. Must have been.
So my secret weapon for a great gravy made from slow cooker juices is Worcestershire Sauce and soy sauce. You don't even need that much, just 1/4 tsp of each (for 2 cups of gravy). But they make all the difference, they add depth to the flavour as well as a bit of colour (because there's no burnt bits, the gravy is much lighter in colour).
OK, so that's it from me! Longer than usual post, but I have a lot to say when it comes to roast chicken :). Hope you enjoy this recipe. I'd love to hear if you try it, and be sure to give me a shout if you have any questions!
- 1.5 kg / 3 lb whole chicken
- 2 lemons (medium), 1 cut into 4 wedges and 1 cut in half.
- 1 head of garlic , cut horizontally
- 10 sprigs of thyme
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- Black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 3/4 cup chicken stock / broth
- 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Extra lemon wedges
- Parsley , chopped
Rinse chicken and pat dry. Season inside and outside of chicken with salt and pepper.
Rub 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil over skin of chicken.
Reserve 2 garlic cloves (being 4 halves), then stuff the remaining garlic into the cavity along with the 4 lemon wedges and half the sprigs of thyme.
Place a rack inside the slow cooker so the chicken is elevated off the base. If you don't have a rack, then get some foil and scrunch into balls (about the size of a golf ball) and place these on the bottom of the slow cooker. You will need 5 foil balls.
Place the chicken into the slow cooker on the rack (or foil balls).
Squeeze the juice of the 2 lemon halves over the chicken
Mince the 2 garlic cloves (reserved from step 3) straight onto the top of the chicken. Top with remaining thyme sprigs on top then slow cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
Preheat oven to 220C/430F.
Remove chicken from slow cooker carefully and place on a baking tray. Cover loosely with foil and rest for 20 minutes. If your slow cooker finished cooking more than 1 hour ago (which is most of the time in my case), you won't need to do this step as your chicken is already rested.
Remove foil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, drizzle over 1 tbsp olive oil and place in oven.
Roast for 10 to 15 minutes until skin is browned and slightly crisp.
If your slow cooker has a sauté setting, you can make the gravy in your slow cooker. If you don't, simply pour the juice into a small saucepan and make the gravy on the stove.
Remove some of the juice in the slow cooker so you are left with 1 1/2 cups of liquid.
Add the butter, stock, soy sauce and worcestershire sauce, bring to simmer then add flour and whisk until combined and no lumps remain.
Simmer for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the sauce thickens. If it is too thick (which depends on how much fat was in the liquid) just add a splash of water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Optional: strain before use.
Pour gravy into gravy boat. Place chicken on a serving platter. Scatter over parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
1. Browning the skin - this adds flavour as well as the look of the chicken. But if you are really in a rush then you don't have to do this step. But rather than serving up a whole chicken straight out of the slow cooker (which does not look very appealing), I recommend cutting the chicken into portion size pieces and piling it on a platter. Then pour over some gravy and scatter with parsley.
2. You can make this ahead by slow cooking the chicken first then roasting it just before serving. To do this, leave the chicken in the slow cooker pot (including the juices) but remove the pot from the slow cooker. Cover with foil and let it come to room temperature. Then cover with cling wrap and refrigerate. To serve, reheat the chicken in the microwave first (put it in a microwave proof dish and cover with cling wrap), then follow the directions to oven roast to make the skin brown and make the gravy.
3. Nutrition per serving.

Frank and my five-year anniversary is coming up. This is the first anniversary we've celebrated, so to tell the truth we're not entirely sure when it is. Or what we're supposed to do. I guess it's not rocket science, but still.
Before this, it felt a little goofy to celebrate. At first, we were both trying to be cool and nonchalant, so obviously neither of us was going to be all, "It's our six week anniversary! Squee!" because that is what high school girls do. But the problem becomes: when do you start celebrating an anniversary? And when you do, how do you know when it is?
Do you count from the first date? The first time you met? The first time you did the deed? I sort of haphazardly counted from the first time Frank stayed over (which was none of those things, thank you very much) only because it happened to fall right before a friend was coming into town, and I remembered that the friend came the first weekend in March.
So it's been more of a Thanksgiving/Easter/Labor Day movable date than an xmas/birthday numerical date. But anyway, all the niggling about when this anniversary thing even is just goes to reinforce my sense that it is a made up occasion that is kind of dorky to celebrate. Anyone who reads this little blog probably has a sense by now that I'm not exactly what you'd call a romantic, but I do love parties and going out to fancy restaurant and such-like.
I guess five years just seems like a respectable enough Big Round Number to start "officially" keeping track of it. (And yes, I realize round numbers generally have zeros at the end. I think of the multiples of five as round as well. The blog's not called Audrey's Accurate Math Korner for a reason.)
Anyway, so we both agreed that wow, five years is a long-ish time and we should perhaps get in the habit of celebrating our dating birthday. I mean at some point it just seems a little sad not to. In some ways, Frank and I have taken longer than many people to transition from two dudes who like each other and hang out constantly and even eventually live together to A Couple.
Some time over the last year or two, though, I think we've both stopped being weirded out by the idea that we are Partners who have a Future and Something at Stake. Maybe it was all the people we know getting married all of a sudden. I mean, when Frank and I first started dating, most of my friends were single guys who teased the crap out of me because ooh I liked a boy and would rather hang out at his house than go out bike riding with them or something.
They've all since found nice ladies and settled down/gotten married and now tease me because I don't know how to do things like celebrate an anniversary. Sometimes Audreys can't win, man.
But. So the point is that despite our shared constitutional biases against romantic stuff in general, we've managed to figure out when our five-year thing is to be observed (next Thursday) and what we're going to do about it (dinner at an awesome restaurant that we can't afford.)
It does still feel a little funny. I keep expecting people to laugh when I tell them why I'm going out to dinner, and they keep just saying "hey, congratulations" instead. I don't know why I have so much trouble believing that other people easily accept us as Adults in a Serious Relationship. Maybe because hanging out with Frank is so much fun all the time. Aw. Who's not romantic now?

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini would prefer to sign Arsenal ace Theo Walcott over Swansea City's Scott Sinclair.
The Daily Mail says the Italian still expects to sign Swansea winger Sinclair, who is only being bought as a squad player, though, something that prompted Mancini to choose him over Arsenal's Walcott.
Mancini is a Walcott fan but suspected it would be too difficult to lure him without the guarantee of regular first-team football.

"Excellent insight into the state of California"
Really enjoyed this comprehensive view of California and the elements that made it what it is today. I purchased this audio book prior to my first visit to the state and found the detail fascinating and it enriched my experience of the trip my only disappointment is that it only goes up to 2005.
Excellent book for fan of history or simply for one trying to understand how modern California became so fascinating, complex and the current struggles all the more fascinating. An excellent audio book for anyone doing a 2 day drive along the length of CA or with a 5 hour flight to CA.
"I'm finally fixing my patchy CA history"
This is an amazing walk through time and space. California seemed to loll on the edge of nowhere culturally (at least by European perceptions, so this excludes a large body of native peoples with very rich lives, alongside its impossibly beautiful natural resources), and then it exploded through a series of convulsive changes into the modern world. There are probably as many views of this as viewers. My own bit of California has been a bit of all this: gorgeous and heartbreaking. This esteemed expert historian has mastered a huge mass of swirling details, and brought them into a coherent story here. This brings my California experience to a whole new level.
"Informative and Fun"
I live in California and wanted to learn more after a recent trip through the State. I was never good with history and was uncertain if I would like this. I enjoyed the story and the narration! A good job and a fun story. I was astounded at learning how California developed its character and was happy I had chose this author. If you are interested in the subject then this is a good one.
"great insight"
just a really terrible history of our golden state, factual just sad that history is repeating itself just in different words and phrases used in America today like tax cuts for the rich and larger prisons for our minorities

Ex-flight attendant landed Costco job
Mark Gilliam, Costco Cashier
Published 6:09 pm, Monday, November 19, 2012
As a flight attendant with Northwest Airlines, Mark Gilliam flew to Asia for 17 years. He learned to speak a little Japanese, a little Thai, Korean, Cantonese, Mandarin and Tagalog. When he quit the airline industry and found work at the Costco store at 10th and Harrison, Gilliam's background in Asian languages proved handy. He calls San Francisco "the ultimate melting pot" and says its diversity is reflected in Costco's employees as well as its clientele. Gilliam, 49, grew up in North Carolina and moved to San Francisco in 1995. He lives in the Inner Richmond District with his partner of 17 years, Dennis Cruz.
I'm a cashier at Costco. I can say "hello," "thank you" and "goodbye" in 20 languages. Through my travels I've also learned words and phrases in a lot of those languages, which sometimes shocks people.
Usually it's taken very, very well. Occasionally I get scowled at - if I guess the wrong language. Or if they're third- or fourth-generation American. "I'm American, speak English."

At Costco we have a ton of regulars. Small-business owners and restaurateurs shop here. I have one man, 74 years old. He owns a small bakery here in the city. Comes in three times a week, buys 12 50-pound sacks of flour. He loads them himself, puts them in his cart. He's Chinese, just the nicest man.
One of my co-workers, Vikas, is Indian and I'm learning from him to distinguish the Punjabis from the Gujaratis from the Tamils. Gujaratis are primarily in the motel/hotel business. I often can tell by looking at someone's basket, "Oh, you're a motel owner" or "You're a restaurateur." Or "You have a corner store."
I get to know several of them. I'll say, "Oh, you work in a restaurant? What type of food do you serve?" As result, Vikas and I started going to lunch at their restaurants. Once a month, we pick a new country and have Nepalese or Burmese or Thai food or whatever. We call it the World Dining Club.
When I left the airline industry in 2007, it was really contentious at work. At the same time we were getting pay cuts, upper management was giving themselves bonuses. The airline industry was going through a lot of turmoil, and it just wasn't fun anymore.
I started with Costco that same year. My partner, Dennis, is also a cashier here. He's got a lot of seniority, so he does opening shift. I usually do closing shifts, from 2 to 10:30 or if I'm lucky 12:30 to 9. I don't have the luxury of weekends off, so I work Friday through Tuesday.
This particular Costco is the only big-box store in San Francisco. We get very, very busy sometimes, especially weekends and holidays, and when the lines get a little long, the frustration and tension rises. For the most part, people know that when you come to Costco, it's not your corner deli or 7-Eleven.
The three biggest-selling items at Costco are toilet paper, paper towels and rotisserie chicken. We sell lots of discounted theater tickets. And with the holidays coming, we'll also sell a lot of gift certificates - we sometimes sell $30,000 in See's Candy certificates in one week.
Generally I like to have fun and I've never been accused of being shy, quiet or demure. I even have a little signature phrase that all of my co-workers and most of the regulars know: "Lang tsai gwai lo," which means "pretty white boy" or can be loosely translated as "handsome white devil." I don't mind.

I did a project a while ago that I used what I believe is called "Inkster ABC". It was an embellishment that had different premade definitions. I have the original SBM and the SBM 2.0 version. I have looked in both and can't find this embellishment anywhere. Can someone please help me locate this embellishment? Thank you! ~garfluver
No announcement yet.
Inkster ABC missing???
new posts
garfluver, look under C:\Program Files\ScrapbookMax\Gallery\Images\Embelishments\ and see if you can find it there. Good luckI am a proud Member of the Following Creative Teams

Hi Tonya,
If you have both Scrapbook MAX! 1.0 (installed from the CD you referenced - where I believe Inkster ABC is located) and Scrapbook MAX! 2.0 installed on your computer, Scrapbook MAX! 1.0's content should by default be available in Scrapbook MAX! 2.0. If you can't see the Scrapbook MAX! 1.0 templates and kits, you can go to Edit > Preferences in the Scrapbook MAX! 2.0 menu, then choose Content and select to show Content From Previous Versions. You'll then be able to view and work with your Scrapbook MAX! 1.0 content in Scrapbook MAX! 2.0.
Alternatively, you could try reinstalling Scrapbook MAX! 1.0. However, it is quite an old version at this point and was not designed to be installed after Scrapbook MAX! 2.0 has been installed on a system (Scrapbook MAX! 2.0 was designed to recognize Scrapbook MAX! 1.0, but not vice versa). So I can't guarantee that this would install properly or that it wouldn't overwrite or interfere with any of your other Scrapbook MAX! content. So if you choose to do this, it would be wise to back up all your Scrapbook MAX! 1 and 2 projects, templates, and published files. Again - this wouldn't be the recommended approach (reinstalling Scrapbook MAX! 1.0 after having installed Scrapbook MAX! 2.0) but it is an option.
Lastly, there are lots of very beautiful fonts and font capabilities (bend, stretch, outline, fill in, ribbon) in Scrapbook MAX! 2.0 for creating your own word art - you could consider using those tools to create a quote word art of your own. Just a thought!Last edited by Karin; 06-24-2013, 07:38 AM.
You're quite welcome... and all the best with that word art, then!
Here's a tip that may be handy:
Once you've created your word art quote you can save it as an embellishment (a transparent .png) that you can use again and again. Just right-click on the word art quote, and choose Save as .Png from the menu. If you've combined several objects together (like multiple text objects, or text with an embellishments, etc.) be sure to group the objects first before saving - so, hold the CTRL key and select each object, then right-click and choose Group. Then right-click on the grouped objects and choose to Save as .PNG
Hope that helps - and feel free to post your word art when you're done so we can have a look!

How does the IRS decide who gets audited? The IRS uses a recently updated formula and scoring system to evaluate tax returns. If something seems out of whack- -like low income accompanied by extremely generous charitable contributions--the return is flagged for a more in-depth look. Simple math errors do not warrant audits. What does warrant an audit are things like taxpayers forgetting to report a source of income or getting paid as independent contractors and forgetting to pay your Social Security tax. There are two basic types of audits. The most common are by correspondence. The IRS may request further documentation by mail. You should send copies only and always keep original records in your files for at least three years, the amount of time the IRS can go back and audit a return. Keep in mind, the IRS may go back indefinitely if they suspect fraud. The second type of audit is face-to-face. These occur when the amount of documentation requested by the IRS might be too large to handle by mail. In these cases the taxpayer must visit a local IRS office on a specific date. AUDIT ADVICE--1) Act promptly. The longer you wait to respond to an audit the more you can pay in interest and fines. 2) If you have a conflict with the date or need more time to get records in order, call and reschedule the meeting. 3) Be friendly when dealing with IRS agents. They might have leeway when it comes to accepting partial records and documentation. Being cordial can't hurt. 4) Be honest. On the other hand, don't volunteer any information that isn't asked for. 5) Carefully choose your tax preparer. Be sure he or she would be able to help you with an audit. And remember, if you sign a return you are taking responsiblity for that return. Blaming your accountant or brother-in-law won't help during the audit.

Hybridized feature descriptor (hfd) for content based image retrieval on large image databases

Hybridized feature descriptor (hfd) for content based image retrieval on large image databases
In this paper, the hybridized feature descriptor has been utilized for the CBIR engines. The content based image retrieval (CBIR) systems are being popular among the internet users and they provide them the various ways to find the desired image contents from the online image databases. Content based image retrieval (CBIR) systems offer the query inputs in the form of text keywords, specifications, image properties, color patterns, texture patterns or image itself as the input query. The image based query systems are getting the popularity as they lower the complexity to enter the type of colors, color patterns, texture patterns, etc in the customized query inputs. The proposed model has been designed in the layered approach, where the image features are matched one after one to prepare the final image ranking. The proposed model outperforms the existing models because of its hybrid feature descriptor solution proposed by the amalgamation of the color and low rank features computed with feature fitness validation. The proposed model performance has been evaluated in the form of various performance parameters of accuracy, ranking/index building time, library lookup time, precision, recall, etc. The experimental results have proved the efficiency and robustness of the proposed model and proved it as the effective CBIR system.

Previous Post – Weekend Linkage #9
Last week at Little Flowers Community we did our intro to the Sermon On The Mount (SOTM) series exploring Matthew 4 to set the stage. This week we jumped into Matthew 5:1-5, the first few Beatitudes.
A quick online search on the SOTM turns up massive amounts of information. Of that, we noticed 4 names that popped up again and again- men who intentionally lived the SOTM in their lives (for various reasons and in various ways): Jesus, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. We also noted that each of these men where killed for their convictions. Bonhoeffer onced said of the Sermon:
- "Having reached the end of the beatitudes, we naturally ask if there is any place of this earth for the community which they describe. Clearly, there is one place, and only one, and that is where the poorest, meekest, and most sorely tried of all men is to be found – on the cross at Golgotha. The fellowship of the beatitudes is the fellowship of the Crucified. With him it has lost all, and with him it has found all. From the cross there comes the call 'blessed, blessed.'"
We recognized, then, that following the SOTM would inevitably call us to costly lives of sacrifice.
What does it mean to be "blessed"? Of the two words in Greek that translate mostly commonly, the one used in the SOTM is "markarios" which denotes a pre-existing state or condition. In other words, the blessing is not something that comes after or as a result of the condition, but is a blessing in the midst of said condition. We are not rewarded with blessing because we are poor in spirit, but rather are blessed even in midst of suffering.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for their is the kingdom of heaven"
For as longs as there have been Biblical scholars, the difference between this verse and it's parallel in Luke 6 ("Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God") have been debated. Some will suggest that when the Jews of Jesus day heard Him say this, it would have immediately brought to mind such Scriptures as Isaiah 66:2, referring to a "poor and contrite" spirit. Others, however, will note that in Luke 6, the blessed of verse 20 finds its parallel woe in verse 24, which says: "But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort", clearly indicating that Jesus was, at least in part, referring to material poorness as well.
This difference could have filled our entire evening, as it sparked many strong opinions from various perspectives. What we could agree on was that to be poor in spirit, like simplicity, is an internal transformation of the heart that, by necessity, must find expression in our external behaviour and choices, specifically in our relationship to wealth (and thus, sacrifice, selflessness, generosity, etc.). Still, it is a point we will need to explore more.
What, then, is the kingdom of heaven? While our time was far too limited to get into this point in depth, we all agreed that this was not about the promise of eternal life in heaven (at least not primarily), but rather about the establishment of God's shalom– peace, justice, compassion, etc.- in the midst of our broken world. Against the "wisdom" of the world, God's kingdom here and now is found, less in the bold victories of unwavering confidence, but out of our embrace of our own brokenness and humility.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted"
We all suffer pain and loss. As a community, Little Flowers has faced a great deal of both. This Beatitude at first can seem simple, even sentimental, but in the face of real suffering and loss, it is profound. When our friend & brother Andrew took his life this year (due to untreated mental illness) shortly after becoming a Christian, we were all bombarded with questions and uncertainties, both from our own hearts and from others around us. In the end, this Scripture gave us permission to truly mourn, avoiding the empty and desperate attempts to "put a good face on it". It also promised God's primary posture to us in our suffering- the Comforter.
While God can (and has) certainly brought loss as a means of correction or consequence, we too often look at such times as though we are somehow to blame. This dangerous prosperity mentality is deadly. We should not face suffering with undeserved guilt or let it fester into bitterness. Rather, we must mourn. Jesus preached these words to a people all too familiar with suffering. So we must navigate between the extremes of foolishly ignoring the consequences of our choices that leads to suffering and the lie that all suffering is judgment for sin or lack of faith.
Just as Jesus said that the poor would always be with us, so too will we be daily sharing life with others who are suffering as we follow that missional path that He has called us to. Therefore, we must responsibly, respectfully and realistically face suffering and loss- our own and that of others- without easy answers. To mourn is not to deny Christ's ultimate victory, but to acknowledge the legitimacy of our current suffering. To that end, we also committed again as a community to stand with each other and our wider community in the face of suffering and loss.
"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth"
The first thing we learned about this verse was how misleading the translation of the word "earth" is. The word would better be translated as the "land". To the Jews of Jesus day, this would immediately have been connected to the Promise Land, which was currently occupied by their Roman conquerors. So, as they waited for the Messiah to rise up and wipe out their enemies, Jesus' admonition that the Promise Land would be had through meekness would have been shocking at best. While the people were often thinking only of the immediate political reality, Jesus saw that the Promised Land represented much more, including the fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant (see Genesis 12-17).
The pattern of the Beatitudes is becoming clearer with each verse. The Kingdom will not belong to the proud (and many Jews were quite proud to be the chosen people of God), but rather to the humble. In the face of suffering and loss, God does not promise vengeance and victory, but rather comfort in the midst of our pain. And finally, the Promised Land will not be liberated through military might, but rather, even then in the midst of occupation, is inherited by the meek. Meekness is not weakness, but rather a confident humility (which is not a contradiction), a trusting obedience and a steadfast faith in God in spite of what the circumstances suggest.
As we considered these few Beatitudes, we realized that to embrace them goes against our nature. It is demanding, difficult and dangerous. It requires patience, trust and above all, grace. We prayed together that we would hold fast to these commitments, not letting the abstract ideals distract us from walking them out in every day life together.

Killer Whales Split into Three Separate Species
Sunday, April 25 2010 @ 09:11 PM EDT
Contributed by: jkr
Jeremy Hance
April 25, 2010
Using genetic evidence scientists have discovered that the world's killer whales, also known as orcas (Orcinus orca), likely represent at least three separate species.
Scientists have long thought that there may in fact be more than one species of killer whales due to behavior difference, small physical differences, and the animals' primary food source: fish or seals.
Scientists analyzed genetic samples from 139 killer whales and announced their findings in the journal Genome Research.
"The genetic makeup of mitochondria in killer whales, like other cetaceans, changes very little over time, which makes it difficult to detect any differentiation in recently evolved species without looking at the entire genome," explains Phillip Morin, lead author and geneticist at NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, California. "But by using a relatively new method called, 'highly parallel sequencing' to map the entire genome of the cell's mitochondria from a worldwide sample of killer whales, we were able to see clear differences among the species."
Morin and his team have identified at least three separate species of orca: a fish-eating species in Antarctica, another in Antarctica that primarily feeds on seals, and a third species that hunts marine mammals in the North Pacific. Further analysis may reveal that killer whales—long classified as a single species—are even more diverse than these three.

NAUSORI Club player Jiten Prasad will be out to maintain his number one ranking when he participates in the A Grade division of the second National Snooker Rankings Championship at the Lautoka Club next weekend.
Jiten is in top form having represented Fiji at the Oceania Championship in Albury, New South Wales, Australia last month.
He was Fiji's best performer in the competition reaching the elimination stage of the men's open snooker event.
Jiten went down narrowly to Queenslander Steven Donohoe 3-2 missing a chance to qualify for the top 16 playoffs.
Two other representatives, Praneel Singh and Deepak Jai Ram failed to proceed further from the group stage.
They were placed fifth in their groups.
Singh recorded highest breaks of 41 and 45.
Ram and Singh played in the six reds event finishing at the bottom of their respective groups.
Billiards and Snooker Association of Fiji secretary Raymond Reddy said the trio would be the ones to look out for next week.
Reddy said formal dress code policy would apply for the two-day tournament.
"For each grade, a minimum of 24 entries will enable pool play," he said.
"However if the number is less then matches will proceed on a knockout format. The top two players from each of the eight pools will qualify for the eliminations."
Veteran Viliame Umu, Mahen Deo, Ismail Wali, Yogendra Prasad, Nitesh Chand, David Reddy, Rimal Narayan and Suresh Chauhan are the other title contenders in the A Grade. Sahil Prasad, Ravi Narayan, Hazel Naidu and Raman Lal are the seeded players for the B Grade.

Someone Calculated How Many Calories A Mouse Click Burns
Video gaming for hours is exhausting, so surely it counts as some sort of workout too, right? One publication from Japan just estimated how many calories it takes to click a mouse button once. 'Convert Anything To Calories', published by PHP Science World Shinsho, has narrowed down a mouse click to 1.4 calories. This is based on an index finger at a volume of 10.8 cubic… Read More

1. Re: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12PolarPaul Nov 20, 2012 3:45 PM (in response to PolarPaul)
I finally was able to download a .acsm file from Adobe's sample books page. It evokes the same error message. No progress.
Also, I attempted to see if I could view the file on my phone instead of my computer, but seeing as how the first (and only) time I opened the book ADE was not registered, and therefore rights were limited to that one device, it won't let me view it because of that whole DRM thing.
2. Re: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12Frustrated in AZ Nov 20, 2012 4:01 PM (in response to PolarPaul)
I'm going to take a guess here, based on the process you said you went
through. Here's hoping it's helpful.
I suspect that the copy of ADE you downloaded is not going to let you
register it with Adobe. This happens sometimes when the various
ebooksellers try to give you a link to a download address, and the software
you download isn't 'legit' for one reason or another. Ebooksellers and
others who want to put a link out there should be going to Adobe to get the
right link. Some don't.
Next up, Digital Editions works only on Windows and Macs. It does not work
- or load - on Android devices such as a smartphone. I've seen a couple of
postings to the forum that say they have a file on their smartdevice that
looks like Digital Editions - sometimes complete with the DE logo. They're
bogus in the sense that they are not code from Adobe.
My suggestion is go use your computer's utilities to copy the ebook you
downloaded to a safe place, and then deinstall the copy of Digital Editions
you loaded. Then, go to the Adobe website, create an Adobe ID that's
separate from the one you've used already, and download a fresh copy of the
software. BTW: ADE creates a small ID file for each ebook it downloads and
appends it to the ebook. To make things easy, make up an Adobe ID instead
of using your email address. That way, if you change email addresses,
you'll still be able to get to your ebooks.
When you deinstall ADE, there may be some scraps hanging around. Use your
computer's utilities to delete the Digital Editions folder and all of its
entries. Look to see that your registry files have been purged as well: if
you're a Windows user, you can use the Add/Delete Programs utility in the
Control Panel to do this.
Good luck - and report back
3. Re: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12PolarPaul Nov 20, 2012 5:05 PM (in response to Frustrated in AZ)
I uninstalled ADE and ran CCleaner to clean up the registry before going over folders and deleting the stragglers. Then I rebooted for good measure, redownloaded the ADE installer from the Adobe website, reinstalled, created a new Adobe ID and...and the same error message came up I'm wondering if the problem could be from Adobe's side of things, something wrong with the activation server or something. I won't even try importing without activation.
BTW, I have an iPhone and I used Bluefire for the attempt.
Good try, though.
4. Re: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12Derek Leng Nov 20, 2012 6:12 PM (in response to PolarPaul)
I noticed that you are running on Windows Vista which ADE 2.0 does NOT officially support. Have you tried any other Windows platform like Windows XP or Windows 7?
5. Re: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12PolarPaul Nov 20, 2012 6:32 PM (in response to Derek Leng)
Unfortunately Vista's all I got. That could very well be the problem.
6. Re: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12Frustrated in AZ Nov 20, 2012 7:56 PM (in response to PolarPaul)
Now that we have additional information in the conversation....
Yes, the issue could be the Adobe server. I think the only thing to do now
is for you to try to open a Chat session with Adobe support, share this
information (the more complete the better) and see where you go from
there. Adobe employees don't frequent this forum often, and when they do,
they're not able to do anything about issues other than give advice. You
may have to be tenacious with the Chat, however: folks have reported that
the Adobe person may not know anything about ADE or may tell you it's not
supported via Chat - or at all since it's free. That's a pile of bovine
I'm glad also that you are using Bluefire for the Android device. I'm not
an expert by any means, but that's the choice I'd make (if I wanted to get
another pair of glasses so I could read the small screen....).
7. Re: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12PolarPaul Nov 21, 2012 6:17 AM (in response to Frustrated in AZ)
If it doesn't officially support Vista, I'd say that's most likely the problem, not the Server. I can't see Adobe letting a server problem like this go for so long. What's ironic is that, while it doesn't support Vista, if you go to the installation instructions it says "for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7" Although come to think of it, the instructions may have been for ADE 1.7.
I found information other users may find useful. Apparently it's possible to rick-click on the installer to get into the Properties. Under the general tab at the bottom there's an Unblock button that fixes the problem...at least for some people. Not me, though. That button is completely non-existent. However there's a Compatibility tab where you can choose to run as if it were Windows XP. Did nothing for me even after the whole uninstall-cleanup-reboot dance but, again, someone else might find this useful.
What I don't understand is how there were no problems at all the first time I ran ADE and leafed through an e-book. This gives me hope.
The quest continues...
8. Re: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12PolarPaul Nov 21, 2012 9:56 AM (in response to PolarPaul)
So I found a version of Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.2 online, installed it and immediately authorized it with my Adobe ID. Adobe sucks for not having any legacy versions on their website, especially since an operating system is longer supported, but at least it works now. I had to request a new .acsm file from the publisher, but everything seems fine now and I can finally enjoy my e-book.
So if ever a software company doesn't provide you with what you need to make their product work, go behind their back. Lesson learned.
9. Re: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12web_4.0 Nov 21, 2012 4:37 PM (in response to PolarPaul)
same problem here; i am using multiple libraries and i cannot revert the ADE version on this machine (office workstation)
10. Re: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12Frustrated in AZ Nov 22, 2012 8:23 AM (in response to web_4.0)
Keep in mind that ADE is a stand-alone program and was never designed to be
run on a network. So if you're trying to use the network as a gateway to
the Internet, you could be experiencing some issues because of some
incompatibilities or settings in software.
11. Re: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12teddlib Jan 25, 2013 2:41 AM (in response to PolarPaul)
I have now corrected this error!!
at last....
I was advised that if you open Adobe Digital Editions and then press "Ctrl + Shift key and the d key" at the same time a pop up box will appear " Erase computer authorisation" if you click the button on the right " Erase Authorisation".
Then the first time you use Adobe Digital Editions, you will be asked to authorise the software with your ID. Should you not receive this prompt, click 'Help' and 'Authorise this Computer'
And it worked!!!

From: students.universityreaders.com
If you have received the error message "E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY" or "E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12" - what do you do?
Solution: Deauthorize and reauthorize Adobe Digital Editions.
For Adobe Digital Editions (Windows PC and Mac)
- De-authorize Adobe Digital Editions (from library view, CTRL+SHIFT+D or CMD+SHIFT+D).
- If you have previously downloaded your book to another computer, please use the same Adobe ID when authorizing subsequent devices.
For Bluefire Reader (iOS and Android mobile devices)
- Click "Info" at bottom right of Bluefire Reader.
- Click "Deauthorize" and confirm.
- Click "Authorize" and enter your Adobe ID credentials.
- After following the above steps, please try downloading and opening your book again.
- Verify that your computer has access to the internet. If it does, check any proxy, firewall, or antivirus settings that may be preventing Adobe Digital Editions from accessing the internet.

Thank you so much for the posting. However, I attempted to erase the authorization, but it told me that it's unable to erase the authorization at the time, even though I entered the correct password. I have tried multiple times. But it's still not working. I don't why. Is there any other procedure that I have to follow in order to be able to de-authorize the Adobe Digital Editions?
15. Re: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12shreya Apr 13, 2015 9:29 PM (in response to hongjic62736015)
If due to some reason, you are unable to deauthorize ADE, follow the below steps:
Mac: Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.
ADE will be deauthorized now.
Now Authorize ADE again.
Choose Start > Run.
In the Open text box, type regedit and then press Enter. The Registry Editor opens.
In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key:
Right-click the Adept key and choose Delete.
In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.
Your authorization will be deleted.
ADE will be deauthorized now.
Now Authorize ADE again.
16. Re: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12arrisb80648718 Jun 9, 2015 9:46 AM (in response to PolarPaul)
Hello, I found this error " E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12" in my desktop computer (Win 7). This error happened after two or three months I did not open the digital editions.
I tried, uninstalling and installing the ADE, reloading the .ACSM file. The one that worked was "deauthorize computer" as showed above "Ctrl + Shift key and the d key" and then authorized it again and loading the .ACSM
I think ADE is far from being a good tool.
17. Re: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12shreya Jun 11, 2015 10:16 PM (in response to hongjic62736015)
Please download the latest ADE 18.104.22.168585

ADE will be deauthorized now."
However, that file does not exist on my computer. What can I do?!!

I have an Ipad Mini 3 - I am unable to open any books that I am borrowing from my Library. I keep receiving the message:
I can download the book to read on my laptop, but the whole point of using my iPad is that its small and thus more convenient.
I'd appreciate assistance to get this corrected.

Man's relationship with cattle or cows is a long one, and they have been extremely useful to us. This is why we have so many types, breeds and have used them for so many proposes. They were the first animal that could turn the grassland's of the African plains into something useful: meat. It was then that man had something to protect not hunt and the bond between man and cow was created. Ancient Cattle relied on man for protection in the vast plains where predators were numerous, and man could rely—for the first time—on a meat supply that could be counted on. With the protection of the cow a hierarchy was created and man became more "civilized" and our numbers grew. We were no longer hunters but cattlemen. The domestication of the cow* also happened in India and Eurasia which just further demonstrates that the cow and man were meant for each other.
*cow denotes female.
**Jersey cows my favorite dairy cow wins all taste test for beef which is ironic, they are also called the poor man's dairy cow. They do really well on grass.

UPDATE, APRIL 15, 10:43 A.M: After accusing his ex-girlfriend of cheating and violently holding her against her will at gunpoint in her apartment, 27-year-old Sean Paul Delacerda has been convicted of assault with a firearm.
But the Fullerton resident, who faces up to 18 years in prison after his June 3 sentencing, is also guilty of posing for the ugliest police mug shot of the week. Perhaps he aped the dead-behind-the-eyes look from perps he dragged before the camera as a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy.
A four-year veteran of LASD at the time of the crime, Delacerda was found guilty by a jury on Thursday of one felony count each of assault with a firearm, kidnapping, false imprisonment by violence and one misdemeanor count of domestic violence battery.
Nearly a year ago to the day, he broke into the home of his ex-girlfriend–who he had previously dated for two months–who was not home. When she arrived around 4 p.m., he asked where she had been and accused of her cheating before he whipped out a firearm and loading a bullet in the cylinder.
Scared, the woman tried to run to the front door, but Delacerda chased her, grabbed her by both arms, and kept her inside. He then dragged her to her computer and forced her to open her e-mail so that he could read them.
While Delarcerda was reading the e-mails, she again tried to flee out the front door, but he tackled her to the ground, climbed on top of her, covered her mouth to silence her screams, took out the gun, pointed it at his mouth and pulled the trigger.
The firearm clicked but did not fire.
Still lying on top of his ex-, Delacreda pointed the gun at her before dragging her into her bedroom and stuffing her into her closet. He then returned to the computer to read e-mails, which allowed the woman to finally break free and escape her apartment.
After she got in her car to drive off, Delacerda appeared, tried to open her locked car door and banged on her window. He jumped on the hood of her car and chased after her as she drove away.
The woman called 911 from her car, and the deputy was arrested shortly thereafter near her home.

FULLERTON – A deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department was charged this week with assaulting an ex-girlfriend with a firearm after accusing her of cheating and violently holding her against her will at gunpoint in her apartment. Sean Paul Delacerda, 26, Fullerton, was charged Tuesday, April 20, 2010, with one felony count each of assault with a firearm, kidnapping, false imprisonment by violence, and one misdemeanor count of domestic violence battery. He faces a sentencing enhancement for the personal use of a firearm. If convicted on all counts, Delacerda faces a maximum sentence of 18 years in state prison. The defendant is being held without bail and is scheduled for continued arraignment May 7, 2010, at 9:00 a.m. in Department N-3, North Justice Center, Fullerton.
On April 18, 2010, Delacerda is accused of entering the home of his ex-girlfriend, Jane Doe, whom he had dated for two months, without the victim's permission. The victim was not home. When Jane Doe arrived home at approximately 4:00 p.m., the defendant is accused of asking where she had been and accusing of her cheating. He is accused of pulling out a firearm and loading one bullet into the cylinder. Jane Doe became scared and tried to run to the front door, but Delacerda is accused of chasing her, grabbing her by both arms, and keeping her inside. He is accused of forcing the victim to open her e-mail so that he could read them.
When Delarcerda was reading the e-mails, Jane Doe again tried to run to the front door to escape. The defendant is accused of chasing after her, tackling her to the ground, and climbing on top of her. He is accused of covering the victim's mouth as she screamed. Delarcerda is accused of taking the firearm with one bullet, pointing it in his mouth, and pulling the trigger while still on top of the victim. The firearm clicked but did not fire. The defendant is accused of then pointing the firearm at Jane Doe.
After pointing his firearm at the victim, Delarcerda is accused of dragging Jane Doe to her bedroom and pushing her in a closet. He is accused of returning to her computer to continue reading her e-mails. While the defendant was distracted, Jane Doe was finally able to run outside and get into her car.
Delacerda is accused of running after the victim, trying to open her locked car door, and banging on her window. He is accused of jumping on the hood of her car as she reversed and chasing after her as she drove away. Jane Doe called 9-1-1 from her car and the defendant was arrested shortly thereafter leaving the area of the victim's home.
Deputy District Attorney Sandra Nassar of the Family Protection Unit is prosecuting this case.
