Orange Application
Orange application for Google Summer of Code as an organization.
Organization Name
Orange is an open source component-based data mining and machine learning software suite, featuring friendly yet powerful and flexible visual programming front-end for explorative data analysis and visualization, and Python bindings and libraries for scripting. It includes comprehensive set of components for data preprocessing, feature scoring and filtering, modeling, model evaluation, and exploration techniques. It is maintained and developed at the Bioinformatics Laboratory of the Faculty of Computer and Information Science, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
We are collaborating with many educational and research institutions around the world: Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, Universita di Pavia, Pavia, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University, to name a few, so Orange is based on cutting edge technology combined with experience based on practical problems we are researching and solving. At the same time our graphical interface and easy scripting with Python makes Orange invaluable tool for educating data mining and machine learning techniques as both basic and complex concepts can be easily shown and visualized.

Why is your organization applying to participate in GSoC 2012? What do you hope to gain by participating?
While we are already collaborating globally with other institutions and while Orange is open source from the very beginning we have never really managed to build a real open source community around the project. This year we have decided that we should work more actively towards this and we see GSoC as a great motivation and initiative to open our development and start building global community of independent contributors around Orange. It is also an opportunity for us to gain experience how to organize necessary environment for community participation and also reach to possible interested participants. And of course, to slowly show ourselves on the map of open source projects and communities.
On the other hand, we have much experience with working with students as we are also an educational institution at university level so we believe we can give much to possible students, ranging from knowledge and experience in data mining and machine learning to programming, algorithms, software development in general. We also hope that maybe we can find some students which would be interested in this fields also after the GSoC, possibly also into research.
And of course, we have some smaller but still interesting ideas we have not had the time to get to, but would make Orange even more powerful and easier to use at the same time. We also hope to integrate some social dimensions into Orange itself, inviting users to share and participate in knowledge exchange and in this way improve collaboration in general in the field of data mining and machine learning.
We really like the idea of encouraging students to work on open source and promote open source values. Also, we hope very much to be able to open our project to a wider and global community with Google's help and would like to thank you in advance for such opportunity, if you decide favorably and accept us into the program.
Did your organization participate in past Google Summer of Codes? If so, please summarize your involvement and the successes and challenges of your participation.
We did participate in GSoC in 2006 under Python Software Foundation but our project sadly did not get any student at the end. In 2011 we successfully applied and participated as a new (smaller) project and had a great experience with the program, learned a lot, and also participated in Google Summer of Code mentor summit. In 2011, we got allocated 2 slots, asked for increase to 3 because we really had very good applications and got 3 slots at the end – which proved great because all students were really good and active and successfully contributed to the project. So we had 3 of 3 really successful students.
Does your organization have an application template you would like to see students use? If so, please provide it now.
What criteria did you use to select the individuals who will act as mentors for your organization? Please be as specific as possible.
For mentors we have envisioned professors and teaching and research assistants who are already working at our laboratory on Orange itself and who have much experience with guiding students through their work and also teaching them diverse knowledge along the way. This way, we will have experienced mentors knowing both the project itself in-deep and also knowing how to tutor students to help them achieve the most.
If need be and students will propose interesting contribution combined also with research we will try to find them a mentor who would be also an expert from the field the student is interested in.
What is your plan for dealing with disappearing students?
In the case of a student disappearance, the mentor will contact him/her several times by e-mail, chat and finally by phone, if possible. If the mentor does not get any response, the admin of the project will try to contact the student. If the student does not respond after a maximum of two weeks we will contact Google and cancel the student project.
But to prevent that from even happening, we will keep contact with the student at all times, requiring regular updates and commits from him/her so his/her activities will be visible and transparent all the time and a possible lack of them noticed fast.
What is your plan for dealing with disappearing mentors?
Our mentors will be from lines of the staff at the laboratory so that should never happen. Nevertheless, somebody else from the laboratory will assume the role in this unlikely event.
What steps will you take to encourage students to interact with your project's community before, during and after the program?
As we have quite some global partner organizations with which we work closely on many projects, we will invite them to help us spread the word about us participating in GSoC and to invite their students and students around their organizations to apply. We will also work locally to attract local students. And we will also try to promote the program and our participation in it through global data mining and machine learning web pages and portals.
After we attract them, we will encourage them to find interesting projects to work on. As we have a lot of interesting practical problems we are working on all the time as well, they might get interested and start working on those – even after GSoC and possibly in form of research projects.
We hope we will become an active and wide community where many participants from all around the globe will like to contribute and exchange knowledge and ideas and learn this way.
Are you a new organization who has a Googler or other organization to vouch for you? If so, please list their name(s) here.
Python Software Foundation does probably not remember us anymore from 2006 when we have participated together in GSoC. You could probably check out with our alumni Ziga Mahkovec, who currently works at Google, that we are a valid faculty/university and that we do great stuff at our laboratory ( http://www.biolab.si/) with Orange being probably the largest open source project in Slovenia.
You can also check our statistics at Ohloh:
Are you an established or larger organization who would like to vouch for a new organization applying this year? If so, please list their name(s) here.

3 Doors Down has issued a statement about the Tuesday DUI arrest of founding member and bassist Todd Harrell .
"According to accounts in the press yesterday, a long-time member of 3 Doors Down, Todd Harrell, has been arrested in Mississippi in a drug related DUI charge," the statement reads. "Last summer, Todd was suspended from the band and not allowed to participate in any 3 Doors Down performances, pending the resolution of criminal charges filed against him last year in connection with an automobile accident. Following yesterday's incident, the band has extended Todd's suspension indefinitely."
"We take this action to protect the image and integrity of the band and to encourage Todd to address and resolve his problems," the statement concludes.
According to police, Harrell was found slumped over the steering wheel of his car Tuesday by officers responding to a call about an impaired driver, reports Mississippi's The Sun Herald .
The bass player was charged with a second-offense DUI involving a substance other than alcohol. He was booked at the D'Iberville Police Department, released after posting a cash bond of $1,789, and is set for a March 24 plea hearing.
The DUI arrest is Harrell's second in D'Iberville since July 2012, when he was arrested for driving under the influence of prescription drugs. He was later convicted on that charge.
Harrell also faces a trial on a charge of vehicular manslaughter in the Nashville, Tennessee, area, where he's accused of driving while impaired in an accident that resulted in the death of another driver in April 2013.

GReddy takes pride in the fact that they are a company "founded and managed by racers and enthusiasts" and their latest take on the Nissan GT-R is proof of that fact.
The new GTR 35RX by GReddy is powered by a 4.3 liter stroker VR engine that has been tweaked, pushed, and pulled for amazing results. It starts with a Twin Turbo upgrade kit and a Type-29R Cross-flow intercooler kit that rev the power all the way to 1,084 HP, while a Ti 94mm full Y-back titanium exhaust system ensures the engine growl sounds just right. Other features for the 35RX include a tuned GR6 transmission cooled down by a DCT transmission cooler kit, a Dodson/Exedy clutch kit, a Dodson first gear upgrade, and WPC treated full gear set and clutch steel plates. The power is sent to MT drag radial tires with Ray's Engineering Volk Racing G2 wheels. Visually, the first thing anyone will notice is the giant BOMEX rear wing, but GReddy is also working on a top secret front bumper for the kit.
All of the hard work put into the Nissan GTR 35RX by GReddy came to a head on September 18, 2011, when it recorded a 202.5mph top speed at the Fuji Speedway with World Champion Time Attack Challenge pilot, "Tarzan" Yamada behind the wheel. The vehicle currently does the quarter mile in the nine second range, but GReddy is still working on it to achieve a time in the eight second range.
UPDATE 01/18/2012: GReddy has unveiled an official video presenting their 35RX GT-R during a testing session. Fearless Option Video driver, Tarzan Yamada, takes to the Fuji Speedway for the high speed test, achieving over 200mph! Enjoy!

Casio XW-P1 Performance SynthesizerDesigned with the live setting in mind, the XW-P1 Performance Synthesizer gives you plenty of opportunity to create ear-pleasing sounds with its plethora of preset tones (like the Solo Synthesizer, Hex Layer, and Drawbar Organ), as well as numerous types of internal PCM and Synth waves. There are also multifunction keys that enable you to easily assign the most-desired DJ functions to the keys for simplified operation. The slim, lightweight XW-P1 can run on traditional batteries allow you the freedom to perform on stage, wherever it is and whenever you need to.Solo SynthThe XW-P1 utilizes Casio's exclusive (HPSS) Hybrid Processing Sound Source, a six oscillator monophonic solo synth that is just one of its amazing sound engines. The solo synth has the power to deliver classic analog sounds and sounds with an aggressive edge unlike anything else. Two virtual analog style oscillators, two PCM based oscillators, a noise oscillator and an external oscillator via mic and line inputs can be combined to make up a single solo synth tone. Each oscillator has an independent filter, envelopes, independent key tracking, portamento, two LFOs and access to master resonant filter. With impressive modulation and control capabilities at your fingertips, the solo synth is capable of a wide range of sounds and expression.HexLayerIn addition to the solo synth, the XW-P1 also features HexLayer tones. A HexLayer is a single sound comprised of up to 6 components, allowing complex layers, splits and velocity switched sounds. The sliders on the XW-P1 can be used to mix sounds on the fly to create evolving pads and rich synth textures while key velocity can be used to create dynamic velocity switched orchestral sounds and more.Drawbar OrganIn addition to the solo synth and HexLayers, the XW-P1 performance synthesizer is armed with an arsenal of gig-ready sounds like stereo pianos, vintage electric pianos, strings, brass, guitars, basses, drums and more. It also has a new drawbar organ mode. Utilizing the nine sliders on the XW-P1 you have full range control over each drawbar. The XW-P1 even has dedicated controls for key percussion and rotary speaker while also providing vibrato, distortion and more for the ultimate drawbar organ experience.Arpeggiator and Phrase SequencerIn addition to typical arpeggio patterns, the XW-P1's Arpeggiator can create polyphonic synth-gated patterns, acoustic instrument emulations and is even fully programmable, allowing you to create your own unique sounds. An additional phrase sequencer allows you to quickly capture any riff that you play on the keyboard and have it available on a front panel switch or triggered and transposed live from a range of notes on the keyboard. The combination of the Step Sequencer, Arpeggiator and Phrase Sequencer provides an endless array of sound possibilities.ControlThe XW-P1 has 4 realtime controller knobs, pitch bend and modulation wheels, along with 9 sliders to provide control over internal sounds and external devices. Through standard MIDI ports and with a class-compliant USB port, the keyboard can be used as a controller for other instruments, including computer software and iPad-based software applications. It also includes an audio input allowing you to monitor an MP3 player, computer or other device without the need for a mixer.Step SequencerProviding everything from pulsing dance grooves to animated synth textures and arpeggios, the XW-P1's Step Sequencer is the first of its kind. With nine tracks for drums, basses, synths and chordal parts, four controller tracks for adding panning, filter changes and other animation to existing parts and eight patterns make up each sequence, the user can build and mix their performance on the fly. Sequences can even transpose live from the keyboard, providing a completely interactive experience.

Rated 4.8 out of 5�by 16 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by blackbike No surprises here... This is my 5th Ugly Stix and there has never been a problem. This skinny 6'6" ultralight gets the bait out there when you throw it and the cork handle is an absolute pleasure. Bravo to Dick's for their packaging as well. July 9, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5�by rob1234 Shakespeare Ugly Stik Lite 2 Piece Spinning Rods I bought this rod for use with 14lb line and for longer cast. Nice rod for the money and durable. May 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Matthew Excellent Rod. For lightweight saltwater fishing (mostly shoreline, bays and inlets for whiting and flounder) these Ugly Stik Spinning Rods are all I use anymore. They have great action and the sensitivity you need for the smaller fish, but I've also caught some nice sized reds and black drum while using these rods and they've never disappointed. The construction is tough, and the action is perfect. My oldest Ugly Stik is probably 25 years old, and never a problem. The new rods seem to be just as well built as the older rods, so I expect the same longevity. Definitely the best value available, in my book. October 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Colorado Fishing The pole was broken when I got it home. The pole was broken where the reel connects to the pole. I feel it may have been due to some unusual circumstances. I have other ugly sticks but not the Lite or Ultra. The salesman was very helpful and offered to get me a new one and have it sent to my home free of chagre. I chose not to get one at this time since I have another need with a higher priority. I will be getting one in the near future. August 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by satchmo Nice fishing rod I like this rod. It's an Ugly Stick so I know I don't have to baby it, yet it's light and has a nice feel....and it's not so ugly, after all. Seems well made and I like fishing with it. August 6, 2013

Synthetic version of the #NARS Ita ($39) brush from Every day Minerals (Itahake $15.99). LOVE it. Such a satisfying, animal friendly find. #beauty #crueltyfree #vegan
What you'll need.
-Eyeshadows (MAC Nylon, Malt, Wedge and Carbon)
-Blush & bronzer/contour palette (NARS)
-MAC pro longwear concealer (as foundation)
-Tarte lights, camera splashes mascara
-Concealer in a lighter shade than your skin (Dermablend quick-fix)
-Lip stick
What to do.
- Apply pro longwear concealer to face using (CLEAN!) fingertips or makeup sponge and blend it FAST. This stuff has great full coverage but sets quickly. You don't need much so just draw a streak of it down your forehead and nose, under eyes and across cheek bones and on chin then blend.
- If you need more coverage heres where i use Dermablend in ivory under eyes, a tiny amount as an eyelid base, a stroke down my nose and on cheek bones to add highlight.
- Apply malt to entire lid, blending up towards the eyebrow.
- Apply nylon to inner corners of eyes, under the arch of your brow and blend it out towards either end of your brow and a tiny amount on your cupids bow and center of bottom lip (blended into your fave lipbalm/tint) for the perfect pout.
- Darken brows with wedge on a flat liner brush (perfect for blondes) and brush into place with brow comb.
- Use the same flat liner blush to apply carbon as an eyeliner, smudging out with the eyeshadow brush if needed.
- Coat those lashes with Tarte mascara, this stuff is seriously longwearing and totally waterproof. Apply to top and bottom lashes and then a second coat to top lashes only.
- Use darker shade in NARS palette with kabuki brush as contour (or bronzer if the color has shimmer) under cheek bones, a little around hairline, sides of nose and jawline then apply blush to apples of cheeks, blending back toward hairline (without quite touching it).
This is my basic every day makeup which can easily be vamped up for night time with a little more contour, thicker liner and wedge as lid contour, nylon shadow as a highlighter on cheek bones, lipstick and a pair of lashes.
#mac #nars #smashbox #beauty #makeup #me (Taken with Instagram)
Love the NARS Danmari palette.
The blushes are half the size of the individual ones sold separately.
Can't wait to get this NARS blush palette. NARS blushes are my favorites by far, not only are the colors consistently awesome but they are great to work with because they are so easy to layer up to the color you want.

I often get a bit distracted by pre-planned interview questions and they work so much better when you can just chat, rather than reel off a list of questions. These are my notes afterwards, as I listen over the audio and separate into clips, labelling them as I go and filing them in an appropriately named 'bin' on Final Cut Express. This was I can move them around like a jigsaw in the timeline when it comes to editing.
If you're as paranoid as I am about losing audio clips before, during and after editing, you'll have one of these. I also save files on my desktop and Dropbox, just to be sure. Over cautious? Possibly. But better to be safe than sorry.
Editing audio - especially when the interview's an hour long and you need to squeeze it into 10 minutes - requires a ruthlessness I struggle with. Especially when I've really enjoyed listening to the people I've interviewed.
I'm currently editing my chat with Violet Fenn of The Skull Illusion in which we chat about personal interests we have in common. And it's easy to chop those bits out as they're not so relevant to my project. I'm also having to edit out her snoring dog (very cute!) who insisted on monitoring our session until we bored him and he nodded off.
So I'm having t be strict. First I've made notes of "killer quotes" which really stand out. And then I've ditched anything that's not clear, too long, or slightly off topic. That leaves me with the rest to listen over, edit into shorter, themed clips and label so I know what each clip is about. This, in theory, should reduce my interview by at least two thirds and then I can go bout ordering the clips, chopping and swapping things, and seeing how I get on.
And I've learned patience. When I first started editing audio I was lazy, wanted it done quickly and produced pretty naff stuff. Last weekend it took me six hours to turn my 40-minute interview with Carrie Walton into a 10-minute podcast. But it was fun and the end result (which still needs polishing) is much better than anything I'd have produced before.
So what I'm trying to say is editing is hard, but fun. And I'm learning as I go - the best way!
Also, I thought my Skype intervews would be lacking because they're not as personal as face to face chats. But it's actually turned out better that way; these interviews had more focus, didn't last as long and were less about chatting and more about interviewing. So from a time saving point of view - not just because of travel - Skype interviews work really well.

Most women dream about their wedding day from the time they're little girls.
A Nashville bride-to-be swallowed her pride and stepped out in faith when her dream was bigger than her wallet.
Pat's Hair Design sits off Nolensville Road, and inside, its namesake works hard to stay afloat.
"You know, sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's slow," said owner and bride Patricia Smith. "Financials have been a struggle."
Her love life, though, has not. Several years ago, at a concert downtown, Smith met her future husband.
"Why is he the one? Because I know God has sent him, because I was not looking for anyone," she said.
She got engaged in December, and her wedding is just eight weeks away.
"I just want one of those fairy tale weddings that when you're so much in love and you just want everything to just be perfect," Smith said.
She has the colors and the theme. But she needs cash.
"Business has been up and down," Smith said.
So this bride got creative.
She penned a personal letter, asking for donors to help meet her $10,000 goal. She addressed just 10 of them randomly then waited for a reply.
"In my heart, I know someone will just listen to me," she said.
So far, our news crew has been the only ones to call. One of our colleagues received the letter at home.
"When you just sit back and you don't do nothing that your mind or your heart is telling you to do, you never know," Smith said.
Undeterred, this bride seems willing to make the most of it, unashamed of her unconventional faith-filled fundraising and determined to build a dream day even if the dollars don't arrive.
"It's a risk to take," she said. "I'm happy that people are happy for me. So if I don't get my dream wedding, I will still be happy."
Smith's fiance recently lost his job with American Airlines, and she owes money to her wedding planner and the venue.
She refuses to lose hope. And that will serve her well long after her wedding day.

Voters across Illinois go the polls on Tuesday to elect thousands of municipal, township, school and special district officials.
The mass exercise in democracy finds at least 345 candidates vying for about 292 offices in Rock Island County alone. In Henry County, at least 327 people are seeking about 311 slots, and, in Mercer County, at least 233 candidates are vying for about 200 offices.
There also are nine referendum questions to be decided in the three counties.
A complete list of all candidates and referendums is on Pages A13 and A14 in today's paper.
Many of the elections are officially nonpartisan. Where political parties are involved, Democrats and Republicans have no monopoly. Also on the ballot in various places are representatives of the Citizens Party, the Peoples Party, the Conservative Party and the Anti-License Party, along with both big "I" and little "i" independents.
Candidates tend to the older, but there is a wide range of ages.
Among those answering questionnaires sent around by The Dispatch and The Rock Island Argus, the youngest are 25-year-olds -- Kate Hotle, running for the Rock Island City Council, and Nick Camlin, running for South Rock Island Township clerk.
Oldest are Ethel Perez, a trustee candidate in Moline Township, and Dan Frits, a trustee candidate in Port Byron Township. Both are 82.
Age aside, the reasons given for running are often similar. Ms. Hotle said she wants to assure Rock Island's future is as bright as its past. Mr. Frits said he wants to help improve the lifestyle of township residents.
A common answer to the question "why are you running" is that the candidate is now retired and has time to give back to the community.
Intense interest can live next door door to seeming apathy.
Rock Island features a three-way mayoral race among incumbent Dennis Pauley and businessman David Levin, who lost to Mr. Pauley by a coin flip in 2009, with businessman Rick Cassini added to the mix this time around.
In neighboring Moline, where Mayor Don Welvaert is stepping down after two terms, Scott Raes is the only candidate even though the lack of an incumbent is often a signal for intense competition.
Even more dramatic is the situation in upper the Rock Island County townships of Coe and its neighbor to the east, Canoe Creek. In Coe, there are contests for clerk, road commissioner and each of four available trustee slots. In Canoe Creek, only two people filed for the eight offices available.
All told there are about 70 offices available in the three counties for which there are no candidates.
The office in which there is least interest is one of the most important to the operation of local government -- the township tax assessors who set property values on which property tax bills are based.
There are 31 assessor slots to be filled, but only 20 candidates.The dearth of candidates is attributed to the fact assessors must complete a series of time consuming and costly training classes in order to qualify.
The most sought-after office is that of township road commissioner, the person responsible for maintaining local roads. Seventy-one people are running for the 54 slots available.
In addition to municipal, school and township officials, voters will elect members to library, cemetery and park district boards.
Perhaps the most obscure office to be filled is in Mercer County's Eliza Township, which will elect a school land commissioner. Such commissions, once common, oversee land granted to townships when they were formed to help fund local schools. In most jurisdictions, the land has long since been sold.
Efforts to reach Henry Potter, the lone candidate for the school land commission, were unsuccessful.
Polling places will be open on Tuesday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The Next Food Network Star: Amy vs. Rory
Let us know in our survey after the jump ... check out our recap of the finale here.
21 Comments
The only thing that is working for me about this show is that my husband makes a braying sound everytime Rory (the Satan offspring of Sandra Lee and Paula Dean) opens her teeth factory trap. That makes me laugh. Try it at home for yourself!
That's awful! I like Rory. I don't think she can pass for any sort of food expert, but I don't hate on her. I reserve that emotion for Sandra Lee and RR.
I voted for Amy, even though she does come across as out of touch. Trying to cover for it by refering to fancy-shmancy cooking does NOT help.
I liked the egg dish she cooked in the last episode. My girlfriend tried Rory's steak with carmelized asparagus the other night, and it was very good. Delish! Yumm-o! Or however I'm supposed to express delight at Food Network food.
I am also really bothered by Rory's teeth. She must have had some REALLY messed up teeth to settle on those caps (dentures?). She reminds me of that Dymo Lable commercial where the old couple mixes up their dentures, and the little biddy old lady puts in her husbands huge donkey dentures. heehee.
To get back on track, the show is lackluster and boring. I don't really care who wins, but since I couldn't stand seeing those damn teeth all the time, I'll vote for Amy.
Hopefully the winner has as glorious a career as that Guy person from last season...
Come on guys, she can't do anything about her freakin' teeth! Her cooking is another story.
There are a lot more interesting things to watch if someone's appearance is so revolting to you.
Talent wise, these shows are all struggling. I would still try out for one though if the opportunity came around.
I mean, if they can do an episode where Rory eats an apple through a fence -- eh, I'll watch her new show. But, I'd rather have another Ina-light with Amy, than a Rachael/Rory retchfest.
I voted for Amy and really like Amy ... her cooking has been the strongest throughout. I also think she's the only one who has never put anybody down ... she seems pretty damn genuine to me. I have trouble seeing either woman carry a show but who knows ... I didn't think Guy was up to the task either and he's now one of my favorites.
Oh and stop being so hateful.
I still miss Paul! It was like having an energizer bunny around and besides Food Network is long overdue for an OUT gay man to host a show.
I think Amy is the most genuine of the group as well, however I only voted for her because Jag is gone. We REALLY don't need another RR character on food network, which is what Rory is shaping up to be. I can't even watch RR. I started out not liking Paul, but he won me over and then proceeded to get dismissed the following week. I'm dissapointed with Jag leaving because while I don't know how entertaining his show would have been, I really wanted to get his recipes. bummer. Oh, and I can't stand Guy. Food bad. Personality sucks. Cocky with no reason to be.
I'm watching the finale now, and all I can say is that it's a shame more people than Jag weren't forthcoming about their backgrounds. I have no love of professional reality tv contestants.
America has redeemed itself in my eyes after last year.
OMG! I can't believe "she" won!
All during this "competition" my wife kept on saying my God they are arrogant and so full of them selves...
She's right, I used to think Alton Brown was cool but when he was "testing" them I saw he was an arrogant prick. (sorry) And don't get me started on the judges…..
They had a chance to bring some "regular" people in with Jag and Rory but they blew it!
Amy is not relatable to anyone but the French and they are famous for running away!
I forgive you Jag, COME BACK!!!!!!!
CZap - have you ever worked in a restaurant and experienced what a real chef's personality is like? you have to be that way because weaklings do not make it in the biz. you should know this.
Didn't care enough to vote, but was disappointed in the outcome.
She seems like Gourmet magazine personified. There's nothing terrible about that, but it's totally boring and too prone to pretentious francophilia. Not a new perspective at all.
As a native Texan, though, I found Rory's cowgirl schtick about as annoying as the faux-French. But her food was more interesting (somewhat).
Was it just me or did Rory come off looking like a bit of a sore loser? She didn't smile when the results were announced, not even pretending to be happy for Amy and the rest of the time stood there with her back to the camera.
I think Amy has the potential to do well. As a male, I'm interested in seeing a female talent on Food Network that is less boisterous than RR and Paula Deen, but not so wooden like Sandra Lee. Plus, it will be interesting to see her take on French cuisine.
As far as I am concerned, somebody that appears on more than one reality show, is a reality show professional and that's a big reason why I didn't vote for Rory.
This was the first contestant type reality show that I've watched. I enjoyed the series but was dissappointed in the outcome, big time. Amy is a good cook but was my least favorite from the get go. She was boring and snooty. Michael, Jag and Paul were my favorites. When Jag was eliminated I didn't care a whole lot about the outcome.
Jag was immature but would have, in the long run, been the best choice. He's a good cook with a lot of personality. The food is the most important thing on a food network show. But if the "star" is a bore or unattractive or a jerk, I don't care how great a cook they are. I won't tune in. Amy's show won't last long.
I cast my vote for Rory simply because Amy was such a snob. But when I saw what a poor loser Rory was, I didn't feel bad for her.
Alton Brown did turn out to be a conceited jerk. I'll never watch his show again. Giada seemed a bit snooty as well.
I voted for Rory. I liked Amy, but after she said she wanted to quit, I felt she should have been shown the door. And then when she was voted out, she was gone. Because of JAG's revelation she is let back in? I figured she was eliminated and thus Rory should be the default winner. So I voted for Rory. And I wouldn't say Rory was a sore loser. All her dreams were on the line, when she heard Amy's name. So she cried and hugged a few people.
I think Rory was robbed. If Jag hadnt removed himself Rory might have won. Amy was eliminated for a reason. Now she gets back in by default...and she wins...it just doesnt seem right. I dont blame Rory for turning her back to the viewers. I would have been spewing fire!!!
As for people like Giada and Brown, I am guessing that for dramatic purposes, the producers asked them to be a little more heavy handed than they might otherwise be. Bobby Flay was no puppy dog either. Remember when he pressed Jag to tell him what was 'Caribbean' about the soup he made for the Iron Chef competition?
Remember, reality shows are not as 'realistic' as they make them out to be so I would caution passing judgment on any of the people involved based on this particular show.
i agree with jayc28 - you really can't say whether or not someone is a snob based on reality tv. and i would assume that it is kind of like an initiation - because you really do need to be able to take the heat - showbiz is not nice, and neither is being a chef. that's all there is to it. you have to be a little hard to be successful at that kind of thing.
Why do people equate anything French with snobbery? I really don't get it. What did Amy actually do to foster such negativity in people? Is it just her assoication with French cuisine?
I think Amy was only eliminated first because TNFNWS wanted JAG to win and they did not think the public would vote for Rory over him, but they knew the public would vote for Amy. The network is short on latino cuisine as he said and Jag's personality would have carried an excellent show. When all of the bad press came out and Jag "resigned" TNFNWS had no choice but to put Amy back in order to give the public their opportunity to vote still.Imagine the uproar if Rory had won by default after the viewing public had been waiting all those weeks to choose and did not get to?
I don't think Amy was a snob, I think she was genuine and was clearly the most consistent chef each week with the best imprompto TV clarity. I am so glad she won, can not wait to watch her new show!

Irish Basketball legend Digger Phelps was on campus Wednesday to talk coaching. He launched his book, "Coaching the Streets," with a dedication and signing at Notre Dame's bookstore.
Coach said he wrote the book after Father Hesburgh encouraged him to do more than just coach basketball. Phelps stressed the importance of surrounding kids with school and after school programs to get them off the streets. It's all about making a difference in young people's lives. "I think it's giving kids hope, giving kids a second chance so they can go and win in the game of life," said Phelps.
We also asked Coach how he was feeling after beating cancer for a second time this past year. He said he's feeling good at 2-and-0 and quote- "doesn't want another game."

WASHINGTON D.C. (WTAQ) - Tommy Thompson was an endless cheerleader for Wisconsin during his 14 years as governor.
Now, he plans to do the same for the entire Midwest.
The Republican Thompson is teaming up with Nebraska Democrat Ben Nelson to co-chair the new bipartisan Midwest Council -- which will lobby Congress in the hopes of bringing more federal benefits to a region that's often been overlooked in the past.
Thompson was the Badger State's governor from 1987 through 2000, and then spent four years as the nation's Health and Human Services secretary.
Nelson is a former Nebraska governor and U.S. senator. They'll unveil their plans Thursday to the National Press Club in Washington.
Thompson says the goal is to give the Midwest a, "larger voice in D.C."
The Midwest has lost factory jobs in recent years -- and it lost representation in Congress to faster-growing regions like the Southwest.
Richard Longworth of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs says the Midwest is "miserable" in speaking up for itself, because the states have a hard time cooperating with each other. So far, the Midwest Council is getting most of its corporate support from Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, and Nebraska. It hopes to eventually line up 12 states under its wing.

Grandmother Daycare: How to Make It Work
The ABCs of having your parents watch your baby
The ABCs
When Michelle Obama announced that her primary role in the White House would be as "First Mom," she raised a lot of eyebrows. This was an Ivy League-educated executive stepping down to be a mom. But when she added that her mother, Marian Robinson, would also be joining the family at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, barely a shoulder was shrugged. After all, Mrs. Robinson had cared for Malia and Sasha during the election campaign, and in the United States half of all American grandparents provide some sort of childcare assistance for their grandchildren.
Having a grandparent provide childcare has myriad benefits. First, the children develop a strong relationship with their grandparents. Second, it often costs less than a nanny or a daycare center. Third, it can cut down on working mother guilt since you're leaving your kids with a loving family member.
So what should you know if you're considering having a grandparent care for your new baby? It's as easy as ABC:
A—Agree on the arrangement.
B—Set boundaries.
C—Communicate, and continue to circle back to A and B.

Oilers at Wild, G39/07-08
This is Craig Harsburg. He was an excellent defenseman for the Minnesota North Stars when they had a very, very good team in the 1980s. Among the teams that didn't win the Stanley during that decade, I'd rank them right up there as one of the best (behind the Bruins, Flyers and maybe one or two others).
Hartsburg is on TV these days as coach of Team Canada at the World Juniors. He seems to have settled on his goalie (Bernier) and his shutdown D pairing (Schenn and that kid LA took 4th overall at the draft) and from what I've seen should have enough offense from the 2 1990 boys to win the day.
They're running the hell out of a Chevrolet commercial on the TSN coverage of the WJC. A mom talks about being proud of her son for giving the puck to the opposition team during a game. The kid says "that's okay mom, it was his turn. I'll get another turn."
You probably know where this is heading, so I'll just say here's hoping it's our turn in the Land of 10,000 lakes.

When I am feeling extra edgy I imagine tattoo designs I might ink on my arm like the outline of a brilliant cut diamond or perhaps legendary explorer Percy Fawcett's family motto "difficulties be damned" in Latin Nec Aspera Terrent. But the thought never lasts too long—fear of a permanent style commitment. This too cool tattoo-like jewel from House of Waris would satisfy my desires and concerns. I could wear it pushed up my arm like body art on those days when I am feeling a little rough and tumble and remove it for more lady like moments.

Golf Rules in Action DVDGolf Rules in Action explains and demonstrates the basic Rules of the game.
Golf Rules IllustratedA clear, detailed, illustrated explanation of the Rules of Golf.
A Guide to the Rules on Clubs and BallsGuidelines to interpret the Rules relating to the design and manufacture of golf clubs and balls.
Birds and Golf CoursesThis book provides guidance on how to support bird populations through effective management of the roughs and out of play areas.
The GolfersThis book examines in detail the historical background to the painting 'The Golfers'.
Pace of Play Guidelines
Clubs, public courses, resorts and competition organisers have differing views on what constitutes acceptable and unacceptable pace of play, but the fact is that slow play detracts from the enjoyment of the game for many players. Few golfers are heard to complain about play being too quick!
There is a responsibility, therefore, on all players and administrators to ensure that golf is played at a good pace, and a pace appropriate to the course being played. Factors that may influence what is considered to be an appropriate pace may be the difficulty of the course, the distances between greens and tees, the climate and also the range of ability of the players on the course.
In addition, it is necessary to make some distinction between golf played as a leisure pursuit and elite golf, where allowances have to be made for players trying to earn a living. At the elite level, there will often be officials on the course who can monitor pace of play and implement a strict policy, which involves groups keeping to a hole-by-hole schedule, and potentially being subject to timing of individual strokes with the threat of penalties if they fail to keep to the clock.
For 'normal' golf, it is still important for administrators to set targets for round times. As stated above, there is not a 'one size fits all' model for round times, but it is important that the targets are achievable without being too soft.
Two-ball rounds should take no more than 3 hours 10 minutes; three-balls should take no more than 3 hours 30 minutes, and four-balls no more than 3 hours 50 minutes.
If slow play has become an issue at your club, course or resort then strong and decisive action should be taken to resolve the problem. And as a general rule, try to keep up with the group in front!

MOLE LAKE, Wis. (WSAU) -- A weekend stabbing incident near Mole Lake has led to charges for a 17-year-old couple. Forest County deputies say they had contact with Bradley McGeshick, who appeared to have superficial wounds. After investigating, deputies learned there was an altercation between McGeshick and Pagelyn Ducat-Cornell Saturday night. Ducat-Cornell sought medical treatment Sunday.
Both McGeshick and Ducat-Cornell were taken into custody. He is charged with disorderly conduct, substantial battery, obstructing an officer, and probation violation. She is charged with second degree recklessly endangering safety by use of a dangerous weapon, plus two battery and disorderly conduct charges.
Deputies do not believe this incident was gang related. This is an on-going investigation and Forest County Sheriff's investigators expect no further information will be released.

text: More safeguards needed to prevent adverse drug events caused by medication administration errors Research Activities, October 2012, No. 386 Additional interventions are needed to prevent adverse drug events (ADEs) caused by administration errors in a hospital setting, according a new study funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. "Adverse Drug Events Caused by Serious Medication Administration Errors," was published online July 12 in the British Medical Journal of Quality & Safety.Study researchers concluded that unintercepted potential ADEs at the medication administration stage can cause serious patient harm. At hospitals where 6 million doses are administered per year, about 4,000 preventable ADEs would be attributable to medication administration errors annually. The high incidence and cost implications for ADEs due to medication administration errors justify the need to target interventions to prevent these errors in a hospital setting.To access the article abstract, please go to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22791691.

Amazon's Strong Moves to Drive its Success
Rita is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Things have been good for the world's largest online book seller Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and the situation continues to be so as the company decides to enter new market segments as well as strengthen its hold in the existing ones. Recently the company signed a multi-year licensing agreement with cable channel Epix and analysts and industry experts are expecting this move to create some ripples, if not waves, in the online video streaming space.
New Partnership with Epix
With popular movies such as Paramount Pictures' 'Iron Man 2' and 'The Hunger Games' from Lions Gate Entertainment under its belt, Epix can prove to be very helpful to Amazon's online video streaming business and can prove to be fatal for Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX). Epix is actually owned by Paramount Pictures, Lions Gate Entertainment and MGM, and these huge names of the entertainment universe can aid Amazon's video streaming service's growth hugely. Thanks to the dynamics of the market place, till now Netflix was enjoying a head start which it got through its $8 per month unlimited video streaming service. But now, the arrival of Amazon's Prime Instant Video Service can shake things up and pose as a serious contender for the top spot. The Amazon-Epix deal will help the giant to double its movie library and thus turn more attractive to the movie-buffs.
Netflix recently ended its exclusivity deal with Epix and now it could have a problem on its hands. With this move, Netflix opened the door to Epix for Amazon and the retailing giant jumped in to benefit from the opportunity. Even things haven't been very smooth for Netflix recently and surely this is not a stock which is at the top of any investor's mind. The pricing change which the company brought about coupled with few other choices made by the company made Netflix's stock price drop rapidly. Though the company recovered from all this marginally, this new development is likely to put Netflix back in a poor form. Unless Netflix starts to expand its content offerings, it might lose its market share to Amazon and end up being a company stuck in its days of former glories.
The Launch of the New Kindle
Apart from strengthening its video streaming business, Amazon is also working on capturing a better share of the tablet market too. The company has plans to launch its latest Kindle Fire tablet shortly and has many new plans for the device. The Kindle Fire has the advantage of being less expensive than Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPad and this new model might be priced again keeping in mind Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Nexus 7. Some analysts are even expecting the new Kindle to be priced at a mere $150 if a rumoured ad-support model is actually available. If this really turns out to be the situation, Amazon will be benefiting hugely from this low priced starting range as even if the iPad gets a price cut, it will still be far more expensive than $150, thus making it very easy for the Kindle to penetrate into the market.
Amazon is fine with the idea of making minimal money out of the tablet as the main intention of the company is to get the device to as many hands as possible and then benefit from selling higher-margin digital content. Introducing a tablet for $150 can act as another game changer in the space and favor Amazon since the $199 price tag is no longer unique. Amazon is competing with Apple and Google and to make the most out of the situation it's best if Amazon goes after lower priced models.
Unlike the old Kindle Fire, the new model will have mapping software integrated into the device. However, Amazon has decided not to go with Google and instead have partnered with Nokia (NYSE: NOK) for the mapping function. After Nokia acquired Navteq in 2007, it became one of the largest mapping providers in the world, and now Amazon wants to work with the Finnish phone maker to build maps for its tablet. Though the Kindle will run on Google's Android OS, the company does not want to be dependent on Google even for the maps. The combination of Nokia's mapping expertise and Amazon's recently acquired UpNext's specialization in 3D maps will help the online book retailer to position its product differently. Apart from the new Kindle Fire, Amazon is also all set to roll out its latest e-reader and the company has good expectations from this as well.
Concluding Thoughts
Amazon had made an announcement regarding the unveiling and launch of its latest Kindle Fire tablet and yet, just about a month ahead of the launch, the company saw its most popular product being sold out completely. Unlike the situation with the iPhone, where users hold back from purchasing an iPhone in anticipation of the launch of the newer model especially after the announcement has been made, users went ahead and bought the Kindle Fire though they knew that the new model is just a month away. This tells a lot about the product. Because of the huge demand of the existing model, analysts are now expecting even better things from the latest improved version of the Kindle. This, combined with the Epix agreement is making the company a very attractive one for investment. Analysts are expecting that Amazon will post solid stream of revenue going forward and the company should also improve its margins and numbers hugely. Given these developments, I strongly recommend Amazon.

1. My name is Maria Khalil and I'm 17 years old.
2. My theme highly edited but you can get the original theme. The description box is an html code and someone made the theme for me. The credits are below my description.
3. My navigation bar is an html code and I will not give out the code if you ask me.
4. The sparkling cursor or the snow fall code can be found in http://www.mf2fm.com/rv/ . And as for the ribbon I will not give you the link because I don't want other people copying my ideas. ( I don't have this anymore, but I did not delete this just in case someone might like to put a sparkling cursor in their blog.)
5. To get a music player go to http://www.youtube.com/ and get the old embed code of the particular song you like and add &autoplay=1 at the end of each link in the code. Reduce the sizes to zero. The final code should look like this :
<object width="0" height="0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/98WtmW-lfeE?fs=1&hl=en_US&autoplay=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/98WtmW-lfeE?fs=1&hl=en_US&autoplay=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="390"></embed></object>
Note: Teenage Dream by Katy Perry was on autoplay here on my blog for months. I removed it because some people are not fond of autoplay music.
6. To get a floating twitter badge like mine click this link.
Note: I have a widget now instead of a badge.
7. I don't do promotions so please don't ask to promote you cause I probably won't. I'm so sick of people asking me to do promo for promo. You don't need promotions and you just have to be patient for people to follow you. :)
8. Don't ask me to change my FAQ's cause it's rude blah blah blah cause I honestly don't give a shit whatsoever.
9. Please no racist comments and complains. Respect us Asians and we have nothing against other races. This is Tumblr, a public community to blog. We don't want a fight.
10. If you ask me how many followers I have I won't tell you cause people usually think it's like showing off. But if you mus know I have a lot.
11.That icon is not me. I am thinking of putting up an icon of myself again. I have both Chinese and Filipino race and some Spanish.
12. If you send me hate mail I might or I might not answer it. Sorry if I'm a bitch to some of my answers to hate mail. You send me rude messages then you get mad at me answering back?! WTH.
13. I won't do a follow back and I rarely follow blogs anyway. So don't beg/ask me to follow you. And if you're message is "Please check out my blog" and nothing more I will not answer that. Cause if I answer I'll immediately get a few or more messages asking me to check out their blog too as if I'm a promotion site or blog checker. And I don't want to flood the dashboard of my followers and my blog too.
14. I'll post whatever I want here in my Tumblr. If you don't like mine please unfollow.
Sorry if I sound like a bitch, but I am so sick of people asking me the same questions everyday.
The photos in this blog aren't mine unless otherwise stated. I get them most from other blogs and from the internet. If you ask me why I do not credit pictures it is because I do not know who originally took the picture like I said I found it in the internet. So any questions in my ask box asking me about this stuff will be answered in a sarcastic way.

I haven't had such enthusiasm for seeing an author live since I saw Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, speak at Unity Village.
I would say "the holidays are slowly creeping up on us", but I'd be wrong. It seems that this year has flown by, and once again, some of us are rushing to finish those to-do lists before Thanksgiving and Christmas. Whether you're running errands, finishing your lists, or enjoying the company of friends and family, you should grab a little music to help set the mood. The library has a wide selection of music: from country, pop and rock, to orchestral, holiday classics, and every genre in between.
What is an elderly, wealthy, childless, respected member of the 1st Presbyterian Church, proper southern lady suppose to do when her deceased husband's illegitimate son and his mother show up on her doorstop? Why, take them in and make them part of her family, what else! Besides the shock, the small town gossip, and the unrelenting questions of her friends, makes Miss Julia Springer all the more determined to make this situation work and have the family she never had.
Perhaps, they should try a little cheerleading. There are lots of titles to choose from such as:
I am a proud, card-carrying nerd. I have always been proud of my nerd credentials.
The seasons are changing, and as the days get shorter and cooler, there is less time to do things outdoors. What a perfect time to curl up in your comfortable armchair and literally do a bit of "armchair travel". You can plan a trip for the next traveling season, or - if you can't take a trip in the near future, it's almost as much fun to read travel stories. Travel literature, as opposed to guidebooks, has been around for a very long time. There's something about reading true travel adventures that is almost as good as being there.
Finally, it's break time.
Here is an entry from the official dictionary of National Novel Writing Month:
Last Friday, I read to the kindergarten classes at West Platte Elementary. We read Run, Turkey, Run! by Diane Mayr. The phrase "Run, Turkey, Run!" is repeated many times in the book, which is perfect for audience participation! The students did a good job of helping me read the book. Good work kindergarteners!
Lynn C.Weston Branch
Come join Mrs.Turkey for a Thanksgiving celebration turkey-style on November 23, 2010 at 10:00 am at Blue Springs North. Singing, stories, and loads of fun for everyone!
