Bassists have always been in demand. Sure, it seems like everyone plays guitar, but the bass is really what holds your songs together. So it's important to be ready when the band comes calling, be it for a recording session or a gig. With an extra set of quality bass strings you'll be tuned up and ready to go in no time. The first thing to look for when you're picking up a set of bass strings is the number of strings included in the pack. If you have a 5 string bass, a pack of four isn't going to get the job done. Different strings are designed for different basses and it's important that you have the ones that best complement your sound. It's also important to have a look at the different gauges of the strings. Obviously, different gauges can cause a change in your sound. Lighter gauge strings, such as the D'Addario EXL170-5 XL Nickel Round Wound 5-String Long Bass Strings, have less tension, making them easier to play (especially for beginners). Basically as the gauge gets bigger, so does the tone, but larger gauges can also be difficult to play and bend. It's important that you strike the right balance between tone and ease of play when you're choosing your strings. The material used in constructing the strings can also play a major role in your overall sound. For example, a nylon string like the D'Addario ETB92-5 Medium Black Nylon Tapewound has a captivating and deep sound, which will sound drastically different from Electric 5-String Nickel Plated Steel Bass Strings from Musician's Gear. On the other hand, nylon strings are probably not as well suited slap bass as steel strings, due to their loose tension. Finding the right material can really bring your playing to the next level. Like all things musical, there is no universal solution, only the solution that best suits your needs. Your bass strings will help you keep the rhythm with ease, whether you're on stage, in the studio, or just jamming at home with some friends. Always make sure you're set to play with extra bass strings in your gig bag.

Man admits to trespassing on school groundsJuly 09,2013BENNINGTON A Benmont Avenue man will spend a year on probation after admitting Monday to being at the Southwest Vermont Career Development Center on May 8 in violation of a no trespass order.
Brandon T. Billings, 21, pleaded guilty on Monday in Bennington criminal court to a misdemeanor charge of unlawful trespass. Billings was sentenced by Judge Cortland Corsones to serve 45 to 60 days in jail, but all of that time was suspended.
In an affidavit, Deputy Roscoe Harrington of the Bennington County Sheriffs Department said he was notified that Billings was at the career development center, which shares a campus with Mount Anthony Union High School, by the high schools head of security.
Harrington said several students had reported that Billings was sitting on the steps outside the career development center.
Billings had been served with a court order on June 14, 2011, that said he was not to be at the career development center or the high school.
Harrington said when he checked the steps, Billings was not there but video surveillance footage showed Billings had been on school grounds.
According to an affidavit, Billings admitted on May 16 that he had been at the school but said he thought the court order had expired.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON In August 2013, police seized 13 pit bulls from an East Road man whose dogs were...

How are your wedding plans coming??
They aren't lol.
I wanna get married next summer but he isn't sure yet because of money. We're putting in an offer for a house next week. That we will be renting out for now.
All I have planned so far is that my cousin is gonna be the minister. And we're gonna get married at my fiances parent's house and then the reception at their town hall. I got my wedding dress for free about 6 months ago so I have that. Lol.
I know who my maid of honor is and who his best man is gonna be and that's the whole wedding party other than my godson as ring bearer and my cousin as flower girl.
A free wedding dress? That sounds awesome!
What does your dress look like? And how did you get it for free??
It's a halter top. It has a flower on the left side where it gathers and has gold in the folds under the gold flower. I'll get a good picture of it when I go see it again (it's at my friend's house so my fiance doesn't see it).
One of the couples I nanny for got married back in September and she had gotten a dress online for $10 but found her dream dress at a good price and her and I are the same size so she just gave it to me.
I'm wondering if it wouldn't be too expensive to change the gold to my wedding color just for a touch because I'm not a fan of gold in general. Now I just have to lose weight to get to the size I was when I got the dress. To me I don't look any bigger but I've gained like 30 lbs. and gone up a size. I stopped taking the pill and I've lost about 10 lbs from that so I hope I can lose the rest.
That is awesome about the dress! I would love to see a picture
What a great person to give that to you!
We picked out the bridesmaid dress today.
in Malibu Blue.
I need to take my bridesmaid to try it on next monday and see if they can do the alterations to my wedding dress.

Yum! This reminded me of a slow cooked cassoulet without the meat. Used Great Northern beans, added a chopped onion on the advice of another reader, and did not use any oil. Excited to try other slow cooker bean dishes now...this was so easy.
Flageolet Beans with Rosemary and Thyme

Make a big pot of this easy vegetarian dish for a hassle-free dinner or side. There's no need to soak the beans beforehand; they cook to a tender finish straight from the package. You can follow this method for other beans, but you may have to adjust the cooking time depending on bean size and freshness.

On behalf of the Classified Staff Council I am excited to
announce that we have done it! We reached our goal and will once again be
purchasing Thanksgiving turkeys for all Classified Employees who have not
previously declined. If you still wish to decline a bird, you may contact
me to do so. Any birds not picked up by 4:00pm on Tuesday will be donated
to Pueblo Corporative Care.
The distribution will take place on Monday, Nov. 25 and
Tuesday, Nov. 26 from 11:00am – 4:00pm in the Underground (Basement of the
OUC). Because we are limited on space it is important that turkeys be
picked up during this time frame. They will be frozen so stop by on your
way home for lunch or before the end of the day. Each person will be required
to sign for their turkey so we will unable to allow employees to pick up for
other people without notification in advance.
Thank you to those who have donated time, finances, birds,
and freezer space for this cause. Your generosity is much appreciated.

Air Force's cyber commander calls for 'full-spectrum' defense of networks
Thursday - 4/19/2012, 9:48pm EDT
Maj. Gen. Suzanne Vautrinot, 24th Air Force
Maj. Gen. Suzanne Vautrinot, the Air Force's commander of the 24th Air Force and Air Force's Cyber Air Component to USCYBERCOM, stressed the importance of a "full-spectrum" approach to cybersecurity.
Speaking at the National Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colo., earlier this week, Vautrinot explained that offense, defense and exploitation must be taken into account when protecting the military's networks.
"The defense can make a huge difference," she said. "And it makes the difference by understanding what is happening on the field of play and getting in front of it before a play can form."
Vautrinot compared her division's forensic operations to replaying game tapes before football games. Watching the "signature" of cyberterrorists allows them to predict the next move and to get one step ahead.

Katie Sullivan Morford's Best 10-Minute Healthy School Lunch
Quick Lunches From the Experts
On a busy weekday morning, packing a school lunch that is both appealing to kids and healthy can feel like an impossible task. But today Katie Sullivan Morford, author of Best Lunch Box Ever, shares how a little pre-planning can go a long way in putting together tasty, nourishing lunches with a minimum of time. Even if you don't have kids, you just might want to make this veggie-packed, 10-minute lunch for yourself!
If you only had 10 minutes in the morning to pack a lunch for a child, what would you make?
Here's what I would pack:
- Turkey and Hummus Cuties from Best Lunch Box Ever (mini whole-wheat pitas filled with hummus, sliced turkey, sliced cucumber, and romaine)
- Sliced red peppers, carrots, radishes, jicama, or other favorite crunchy vegetables with a side of Healthier Homemade Ranch Dip (made the night before)
- A piece of fresh, seasonal fruit. Right now, I'd probably choose a Honeycrisp apple, little bunch of Concord grapes, or a ripe pear.
- A piece of Coconut Granola Bark made over the weekend
What makes this a good kid's lunch on the go?
This lunch strikes a nice balance between having plenty of "kid appeal" while at the same time being very wholesome. Plus, all the foods included will hold up well for a couple of hours in a lunch box. For the pear, I'd tuck a napkin around it so it doesn't bruise.
By doing a little bit of the "work" ahead of time, this lunch can be pulled together in the morning in about five minutes. Planning is the key to easy lunch packing.
By including a fruit and a vegetable as well as whole grains, fiber-rich foods, and protein, it's nutritionally well balanced in addition to being colorful and delicious. I'd recommend picking up a carton of milk at school to go along with this lunch or at snack time for added calcium.
What is your best tip for packing a satisfying school lunch?
Plan for leftovers. Make more than you need at dinner so you have something ready to go for lunch with little or no effort.
Thanks, Katie!

Quick Lunches From the Experts
16 Comments
I appreciate the great ideas for kid's lunches but all that in 10 minutes? It would take me that long to slice the veggies for this. I realize she's including a lot of make ahead items but that kind of defeats the purpose of the whole 10 minute thing.
I used to cook a larger amount of the evening meal as cooking for 7 requires the same amount of effort as cooking for 5. I would just put an extra portion straight into the lunchbox for the 1 child that took a packed lunch when I dished up. Usually roast or grilled meat or fish with couscous, noodles, or sushi rice (reheat and vinegar in the morning), stir fried or steamed, dressed veg. You can make noodle salads, rice balls, 'open' sushi, pasta salads - it's balanced, satisfying and tasty!
In my kitchen in the morning I set out my 7 yr old's Planet Box and in the course of 30 - 40 minutes manage to fill it. During that time I'm also feeding 4 yr old twins, trying to keep the older child on her am schedule so she doesn't miss her bus, and switching out laundry. I don't have the ability to stand at the counter for 10 min uninterrupted. And that's where this type of menu planning fails me. I make a decent amount of homemade stuff, but my kid's lunch is very simple - 1 or 2 item sandwich (usually sunflower seed butter and honey) a veg and a fruit and a dairy. And a small treat - usually chocolate. Water every day in her thermos. I might make something like this on the weekend when I have more time and my husband is around to distract the little people.
My kids would love that lunch, but that is not a fast lunch to pack. I've found that cutting up fruits and veg ahead of time really saves time in the morning, but not all fruits/veg can handle sitting around in the fridge. This morning I was dicing watermelon - should have done that last night, but gosh, I was making supper, washing up supper, and thinking about what's for breakfast.
Kristin -- I hear you about the time crunch. If you don't have time the night before or over the weekend to do the "make ahead" items, these can easily be substituted for store-bought ranch dressing and granola bars. Just be sure to read the labels so you can find the healthiest options.
-- Katie
Sounds like you've got a great system going, Mrs. Buttons. I really like the Planet Box myself and use it in the rotation for my youngest daughter a couple of times a week.
Well, I definitely don't have 10 additional minutes in the morning. Lunches must be packed the night before and in the morning I throw the container into the lunchbag with an ice pack. But, all of these things could be made the night before. I even cut up fruit like apples and pears and find they don't go brown. I use the a plastic container with compartments (Easylunchboxes) and I think not a lot of air gets in there to turn the fruit brown
To heck with kids, this sounds like a great lunch for all ages!
I agree with Kristin, it takes much more than 10 minutes to make this lunch. Also, including store-bought processed items defeats th purpose of trying to make a healthy lunch. I sometimes spend 20-30minutes preparing my kid's lunch box simply because there is some peeling, slicing steaming involved. I wish there were better, truly quick ideas out there!
That is EXACTLY my motto! I ALWAYS make more than one what we'll eat for dinner...enough for leftovers for lunch the next day (or even the day after) or for dinner if I don't have time (or I'm too lazy to cook!). I also prepare a portion of a meal (for the next day) at the same time that I cook dinner (i.e., steamed veggies, burgers, pre-cooked chicken,etc). It makes all the difference in the world!!!
I'm surprised by the comments about the length of time. When I first read her lunch menu I thought that 10 minutes was being awfully generous! My husband makes a similar lunch for our daughter in about five minutes each morning. We have the planetbox as well and I think it really helps with lunch-making speed because you don't have to track down a bunch of containers, lids, etc.
This looks doable in well under 10 minutes to me. I would probably not give my kid a selection of veggies for dipping, but just pick one from the list.
You know what's really hard? Lunch for a middle-schooler with braces. Normal pickiness + many forbidden foods + many foods that are OK to eat with braces but too embarrassing because they might stick in there + very little time available for eating + prefers socializing to eating anyway. Whether I make the lunch or make materials available for her to pack her own it is kind of a no-win situation.
i'd love to order this book. unfortunately it is back-ordered and won't be able to ship for a few months. any idea when this will be available? i love to cook but for some reason making kid lunch is unbearable!
I usually pack meat and vegetables from last night's leftovers mixed with rice or some other grain, heated up and put in a thermos. Sometimes you'll come across a truly amazing flavor combination, but strangely enough, it usually ends up tasting good. Quick and easy, and the only assembling required is spooning stuff into a bowl. (:
Hi editorkimo, Best Lunch Box Ever has been popular and unfortunately sold out before the second printing landed. However, I just checked Barnes and Noble and it looks like they still have some books left. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/best-lunch-box-ever-katie-sullivan-morford/1115655810?ean=9781452108292
You might also contact your local independent bookstore since they may have copies as well.
Fortunately, both my kids tend to like the same things for days on end in their lunch boxes. We have the bento-style Laptop Lunchboxes (which I strongly my recommend; my eight-year-old has been using the same one since preschool), and these days I've been packing:
- Salami and cheese sandwiches on whole-grain bread (crusts off)
- String cheese
- Dried papaya chunks
- Homemade or store-bought granola bars, depending on whether I've had time to bake
- Apple slices for my 8-year-old and carrot sticks for my 5-year-old
I can usually prep this in about 10 to 15 bleary-eyed pre-coffee minutes. I've experimented with dips, but I find that they either make a mess everywhere or else if I put them in a container with a better lid, my kids can't manage the lid. And they don't seem to care either way, so why make life harder for myself?

Facts about Obesity #3 - Not sleeping enough: If you do not sleep enough your risk of becoming obese doubles. According to a research, "the 'epidemic' of obesity is paralleled by a 'silent epidemic' of reduced sleep duration with short sleep duration linked to increased risk of obesity both in adults and in children. These trends are detectable in adults as well as in children as young as 5 years."
Sleep deprivation may lead to obesity through increased appetite as a result of hormonal changes. If you do not sleep enough you produce Ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite. Lack of sleep also results in your body producing less Leptin, a hormone that suppresses appetite.

Storm Watching in Newquay
Storm watching in Newquay - Atlantic Storms and Winter Breaks
Winter visitors to Newquay have always enjoyed the winter storm watching on Cornwall's North Atlantic Coast. The image below was taken on the North Coast on a typically bright and sunny day in December.
Winter Storm Cornwall
Three thousand miles of open ocean stretches from Cornwall to Newfoundland and the winter storms create spectacular sights all along the north Coats. Watching and enjoying these storms and their aftermath in those typically sunny and bright clear winter days in Cornwall is an experience enjoyed by visitors and locals alike.
The Storm watching season runs from November to February March. Although a relatively new tourism phenomenon locals have been watching, bracing themselves and surfing in the tail end of winter storms here for many years.
Storm watching is one of these simple and relaxing pleasures that require nothing of the participant but to watch and marvel at the natural power of the ocean.
Storm watching is best from ocean-front accommodation when enjoying an afternoon tea, or for the more adventurous from walking the coastal path high on the cliffs. Experience the power of the wind, watch as row upon row of giant waves crash and pound the cliffs and soar above harbour walls. Listen to the power and sounds of wind, wave and ocean.
Newquay on the north coast of Cornwall is the ideal base for a visit during the winter season. Great value deals on short breaks are available and the mild climate and spectacular quality of the light make it the ideal choice for a winter break.

Layton dedicated her time as the spokesperson for the Re-digging of the Wells Ministries to introduce people to religion in a non-denominational format.
Family and friends attended her service at Living Church Ministries on Omega Street in Birmingham.

Theme: The Future We Make
New York , NY, United States
September 20th, 2010
Watch video from the event
About this event
Ten years ago, global leaders set forth eight bold goals for the new millennium. From the outset, it was clear that meeting the Millennium Development Goals by 2015 would be no small challenge. The work is difficult, and progress can be challenging to measure.
In September, 2010, global leaders met in New York to mark the tenth anniversary of the MDGs. They evaluated what has worked well and what hasn't, and developed action plans to help speed our progress against the goals.
At TEDxChange, we invited the global community to join us in celebrating all that has been accomplished in this remarkable decade for health and development, and imagine an even more remarkable future we can make together.

PLAYERS: Jason Peters, Jason Kelce, Todd Herremans
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
Will Jason Peters return to his former glory? Image via Rittenhoused. The demise of the 2012 Philadelphia Eagles offensive line began before the season even started. It all started when Pro Bowl tackle Jason Peters suffered an injury to his Achilles—two times. That seemed to set the tone for the line for the year, with injuries to Jason Kelce and Todd Herremans befalling the o-line as the season progressed. As the Eagles go through the earliest part of their offseason program under new coach Chip Kelly and Peters returns to work, the question of the tackle's status following a year of rehab for his injury looms large. Returning to a player's previous ability level following an Achilles injury is a challenge, but it's one that Peters plans to meet. While participating in voluntary workouts with Philadelphia teammates at the NovaCare Peters proclaimed, "I'm 100 percent" And, according to Peters, he has been for quite some time. "I was going to come back last year, but it was a bad sea...

We've seen portage kegs, miniature kegs, but never a mobile beer bar, which is why we're impressed with Alpina Grills & Catering System's Mobile Bongos Beer Bar. Not only does it provide ice-cold beer on tap, but it also features a very modern and sleek design and is completely transportable, making it easy to push from your man cave, to your backyard for a BBQ or just about any room you'd like!
Ideally made for caterers, the Mobile Bongos Beer Bar fits into any social setting really. As long as you enjoy beer, this beer bar is for you.
Thanks to its sturdy wheels, this mobile beer machine can handle any surface you throw at it (okay, maybe not every thing, but you get our point), gliding over smooth surfaces and tacking grass or dirt like no one's business for outdoor parties and use. Its specially designed refrigeration system allows the beer to stay at its ideal temperature for hours at a time without the need of an electrical current, so you don't have to carry around an extension cord or have to be on the look out for power outlets toting this baby around! It's great for partying where electricity can't go like tailgate parties, celebrations at the park and what not. No matter where you go, the party will always follow thanks to this mobile beer bar.
And for those who like to cook, you can opt for fitting the beer machine with a cooking top! Yup, you read that right. You can use it as a beer tap AND grille. Man, these guys are geniuses, right?!
So, now the Bongos Beer Bar becomes a mobile tap and grille. You now have the opportunity to drink and cook delicious food at once and from the same place, making this option great for those who love to throw outdoor parties since it goes anywhere you do. Oh, and did we mention it even comes with a glass washer! And thanks to its professional looking presentation, all your friends will totally be impressed.
But since all great things seem to have a very high price tag, don't expect this baby to come cheap. Instead, get ready to dish out about $11,300 for the luxury of having the mobile beer bar.

Protocol Book
The protocol book starts its life as a set of pages a notary (a notary must be a lawyer) buys from the government. This is where the lawyer records official documents. Once the lawyer has used up the pages, they must be turned in to get the next set. That's the easy part of the explanation, How and why they are used is more difficult.
These protocol books become the authoritative copy of transactions. For example, if you sell your car, you go to a lawyer with the buyer and the lawyer writes up the transaction. It will contain identification information for the property being transfered and of the buyer and seller. In the case of real property, it is also recorded in the Alcadia but, what is recorded there is ownership--not the transaction.
These books are bound and stored in a vault in the court system in Managua. Generally, they will never see the light of day. The exception is when there is a dispute. The dispute is resolved by locating the legal record (each protocol book page has a unique number).
This is exactly the same system that is used in Costa Rica. At first it seems rather strange. But, the point is that a notary is not a glorified clerk like in the U.S. Becoming a notary essentially makes you an officer of the courts. These documents are then official legal documents rather than random scribbling of the the typical U.S. lawyer which is usually in the form of a threat to some other person.
The catch for us foreigners is that any "notario" transaction must be entered in the book. And, as Spanish is the official language in Nicaragua, the entry must be in Spanish. Thus, the casual "let's get this notarized" we say in the U.S. has a very different meaning here. I did, however, find the way around this when I was in Costa Rica. It just takes, well, the words of a lawyer to come up with the right solution.
If you are asked to "get a document certified" the person is asking you to have a notary certify that this document is authentic. That's all. So, you go to a notary (satisfies who you are going to) and ask them, as a lawyer, to certify the authenticity of the document. So, they write/type on the document that they certify that it is an authentic copy, sign and stamp with their "lawyer stamp". Their signature, of course, included that they were a lawyer and notary. I had one lawyer in Costa Rica add a timbre (fiscal stamp sorta like a postage stamp) because she thought it looked more official.
In any case, you now know what a protocol book, what has to go into it and how to get something very common done "the easy way".

WILMINGTON, Del. - The mayor of Wilmington wants to loosen regulations on pit bull owners in the city.
Mayor James M. Baker says breed-specific restrictions will make it difficult to find a new animal-control contractor this summer once the contact with the Delaware SPCA ends. He tells the News Journal of Wilmington ( http://delonline.us/JVGcaZ) that the city can't afford to start its own animal-control operation.
He says he supports "eliminating the extra layer of regulations" placed on pit bulls.
Under the city's law, pit bull owners are supposed to register their dogs, keep them on a leash and muzzled while outside and abide by other requirements.

TADA! Do you like my new look?
Hey, you know the joke - What's Black and White and Read all over? A newspaper! Except in this case the correct answer to that joke is a bald sunburnt penguin named Ralph, who lives at Marwell Wildlife in Hampshire, England.
Like all penguins, Ralph loses his feathers every year, but while the rest of his clan sheds them over a period of four to six weeks, the 10-year-old Humboldt penguin seems to lose his, in just a few days - which means he remains bald for a few weeks, until the new feathers have time to grow in.
With his pale skin exposed to the sun, poor Ralph could easily get sunburnt and often had to be moved indoors - Until the folks at the Marwell Wildlife came up with an great solution - A wetsuit!
The custom suit is made out of a soft gel-like material called neoprene and, has Ralph's name printed on it. The material expands so that Ralph can move around normally. They also added Velcro to the suit so that when his new feathers start growing, it can be expanded.
Ralph has been wearing his suit for a year now and he and his partner Cora seem quite happy with his new attire - Other penguins also seem to swarm around him when he is wearing it - probably jealous of his cool look!
Humboldt penguins, native to Peru and Chile get their name from the cold Humboldt water current that runs from the Antarctica to the Equator. Also known as Peruvian Penguins, they live on the rocky mainland shores and do not migrate. They can live up to 20 years in the wild and as many as 30, in captivity. Like a lot of animals they are also on the endangered list, thanks to lack of food caused by over-fishing on the coast of Peru and Chile. It is estimated that there only between 3,300 to 12,000 of these amazingly cute birds left in the world! Boo Hoo!

So my break in between college semesters, when compared to most of my friends', has been a long one—a little over five weeks. Nonetheless though, life has gone on and my second semester of college is starting in two days, which has caused my brain to fall back into a kind of countdown mode. The looming semester has given me a sense of urgency to waste no more of my vacation time, and as a result I've been actively trying to engage in interesting and constructive activities for my last days, which tonight led me to watch this particular documentary, Indie Game: The Movie.
On the whole I really enjoyed this film, and I'm happy about all of the publicity and awards that it has received because I think it was a good topic to explore and uncover. If I'm noting smaller details of the film, I found the cinematography to be surprisingly good. Often times, for myself at least, I wouldn't pay much attention to the scenery or backgrounds in a documentary film, and this film admittingly didn't have a lot of that, but the small bits that it did have of San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Boston were very pleasing to the eye, and it even managed to make a lot of the game designers' work space seem very flattering and charming. But then again, maybe I'm just biased because I appreciate all of those posters and hardware.
Another small aspect that I liked was the decision to focus on the three games and their relation to time stages of development—the past, present, and future. Apparently the raw footage was over 300 hours so the film team had to cut down a lot of the footage to make what ended up to be about an hour and a half. The three teams who they did focus on all represented a different stage of development; one man is reflecting on the success of his game, another team of two is documented in the middle of production and during the release, and by the end the film there is still one man who is aspiring to his own release date goal; a kind of bittersweet ending for his story. The presentation and weaving together of these three stories was very simple, and I thought it was a good choice on varying perspectives by the filmmakers.
The last small detail that I admired was the fact that this project was possible because of the power of the internet. Even during the credits it was very apparent that the actual people who worked on the film was relatively small, but the special thanks went on and on and probably took up most of the credits, and I can only suspect that all of those people in the special thanks were people who donated to the project's KickStarter page. The fact that such a great piece of insight and art can be funded by the generosity and power of people on the internet is very inspiring, especially so for a fledgeling and amateur film group like ourselves. I was also pleased to know that one out of the two people who directed the film is a female, which it seems to me is an underrepresented group in both the film making and gaming worlds. But again, maybe I only notice this because we are a group of girls in the film making and gaming worlds. Either way, kudos to you and your partner for a job well done.
Now, aside from the small and kind of "exterior" details that I admired about the film, definitely what I thought to be the most interesting and my favorite part was mentioned both at the beginning and the end of the film—the passions and motives that all the designers had for their art form. I thought it was really great and refreshing to hear people talk about their creations and how much of themselves that they put into those products, and how the more personal things seem to be, the more thoroughly they are enjoyed and identified with by audiences. I thought that the emotions they talked about in separating an independent game with a big company game was an inspirational notion, but I also appreciated how they talked about the negative aspects of putting so much of yourself into a project—how if people insult a game they also insult the effort that the creator took to make it, how even positive reviews are not always what one needs to feel that sense of accomplishment, and especially how imbuing art with so much emotion for the sake of communication can also lead to miscommunication and loneliness if audiences never seem to understand or "get" it, as much as the creator hoped for. Those bits, for me at least, were the most interesting and best parts of the film, but just simply watching the struggles and stresses, yet eventual successes of indie game designers was also a fun thing to learn more about.
I'm not going to rate this documentary because I don't have a scale, and I don't rate movies or anything really. I rank things, but I've never found ratings to ever be very useful. I will, however, recommend this film. And I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in art or video games. I watched it on Netflix Instant, but it is also available on their website here, http://buy.indiegamethemovie.com/

The International Comparison Program aims to produce robust purchasing power parities (PPP) which are vital for doing cross country analysis of levels of development and are crucial elements in evidenced-based decision making by researchers, economists, national governments and international organizations.
To achieve this goal it is imperative to strengthen and build sustainable capabilities of national statistics offices (NSOs) and integrate the ICP methods and concepts both in the national accounts and price collection systems of each participating economy. Better understanding of these concepts and engagement of NSOs will ensure awareness on the importance and uses of the PPPs even at the national level which is critical in the programs' sustainability.
To this end, the Asian Development Bank continues to support this global endeavor and has the following programs in place:
2011 International Comparison Program
The project is currently being implemented under RDTA 7507 - 2011 ICP for Asia and the Pacific, which aims to produce the 2011 PPP for the region.
2005 International Comparison Program
The 2005 ICP under RETA 6088 – Strengthening and Collection of Purchasing Power Parity Data in Selected Developing Member Countries produced the 2005 PPP for Asia and the Pacific. The practices and modalities implemented in the project are pioneering and remain as the cornerstone for the ensuing ICP developmental work in Asia and the Pacific region.
2009 Purchasing Power Parity Updates
A research initiative under RETA 6482 - Improving Price Collection of Non-Household Expenditure Components and Updating PPP Estimates for Selected DMCs that started in 2008 which aims to provide alternative methods for updating the 2005 benchmark PPP to 2009.
Supply and Use Tables (SUT) for Selected DMCs
RETA 6483 - Adopting the Supply and Use Framework Towards 1993 System of National Accounts (SNA) Compliance in Selected Developing Member Countries aims to assist the 18 participating economies, in developing and enhancing their SUT following the 1993 SNA recommendations.
Input-Output Tables (IO Tables) for Selected DMCs
Building on the results of the ADB project on SUTs, the ADB developed the input-output tables for the economies participating under RETA 6483 to enhance the analytical usefulness of the data generated from the supply and use tables.

Home solar, communications, software and efficiency companies selected for funding
- Five innovators get $100,000 each to advance projects
- Largest open innovation challenge of its kind yields nearly 5,000 submissions from 74,000 innovators
- Challenge investments now total $134 million
- Challenge yields 22 commercial partnerships, including one acquisition for GE
- GE and Best Buy partner to fast-track Challenge technologies to marketplace
- GE and Partners plan to launch region-specific Challenge in China
This phase of the Challenge, "Powering Your Home," was launched in January as part of GE's commitment to improve household energy efficiency through new technologies. Since the July 2010 launch of the Challenge, GE and its partners have committed $134 million in home energy and power grid technologies. The Challenge has also produced 22 new commercial partnerships and resulted in the acquisition of FMC-Tech, a smart grid technology from the first phase.
"After one year and $134 million committed to new partners, we delivered on our goal to scale and commercialize the best new ideas through open innovation," said Beth Comstock, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, GE. "The power of networked ideas, collaboration and partnerships to accelerate innovation represents a gathering force whose impact will be a significant driver in the future of business."
Mark Vachon, vice president, ecomagination said, "The Challenge is now an established platform at GE. Looking ahead, we'll continue to accelerate growth through new partnerships and an additional commitment of $20 million to fund commercial pilots with innovators we have found through the Challenge. The Challenge has also changed how we do business at GE – we learned that accelerating open innovation across public, private and national borders can drive shared value for the company and its partners."
Going forward, GE will commit this additional $20 million for scaling and commercializing ideas from the Challenge through a new ecomagination Innovation Council. GE and its VC partners plan to launch a region-specific ecomagination Challenge in China later this year, as well as establishing a $5 million seed fund in Europe with Carbon Trust to provide support for early stage ideas that need assistance getting off the ground.
The $63 million in investments and commercial partnerships in phase two include 10 new concepts from consumer clean tech sectors including solar, communications & software and building efficiency. A full backgrounder on these companies is available at www.ecomagination.com/announcements, and the list includes:
- Ember, Boston, MA (Communications and software)

Best Buy Partnership
In tandem with the investments, GE and Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE:BBY) are partnering to fast-track the commercial availability of two Challenge technologies — the Vphase home energy control device and the Suntulit air conditioning control system — so they can be ready for retail testing through select Best Buy retail channels in the future. Also, GE's groundbreaking Nucleus™ Energy Manager, as well as smart appliances with Brillion™ technology, will be available through Best Buy in early 2012. GE Energy Smart® LED light bulbs will be available through select Best Buy store locations in late 2011. The Nucleus, which will retail for approximately $149, is an affordable communication and data storage device that provides consumers with information about their household electricity use and costs so they can make more informed choices about how and when to use power.
Neil McPhail, senior vice president, new business customer solutions group, Best Buy said, "At Best Buy, we are committed to bringing new technologies to market and we praise GE's Challenge as a groundbreaking way to accelerate new energy technologies to the marketplace. We look forward to working with GE and the Challenge winners to bring the latest technologies to consumers and encourage consumers to use technology in ways that help them save money and live more efficiently."

Get colour-confident with Comfort
Colour Me Beautiful
Every woman knows the value of a pair of flattering trousers; jeans in exactly the right shade of blue and the perfect LBD that can go happily from Tesco to dinner party with the simple application of a chunky necklace. How about the feeling of a freshly ironed white cotton shirt against the skin and the thrill of bagging a bikini you feel like a goddess in... at the beginning of the summer?
Comfort knows how much you love the way you feel in clothes that suit you. And how looking good can boost your confidence and make you appear more youthful. So to celebrate the release of Comfort Bright Colours and Comfort Bright Whites, Comfort has teamed up with Europe's leading colour image consultants, Colour Me Beautiful.
Comfort Brights
Comfort Bright Whites and Comfort Bright Colours offer two new ways to help keep your family's clothes brighter and more vibrant for longer. Comfort Bright Colours has a unique pro-bright formula that helps prevent running or fading in every wash while Comfort Bright Whites' pro-white formula can help make even dull whites bright and fresh again by counteracting yellow and grey tones.
