You Might Rethink That Marriage Proposal
Check out this ad for diamonds aimed at guys who just wish their girl would SHUT UP. Nice stereotyping, Diamond Cellar!
They have internet hookups to the kitchen now?
Technology never ceases to amaze me.
Try "seller". The "cellar" is the part of a structure, such as a house, which is situated at least in part… underground.Ie… wine cellar, fruit cellar, coal cellar, root cellar ect. ect. ad nauseam. Whereas a "seller" is one who sells things :]
the stupid company is actually called diamond "cellar"?
my mistake
Maybe they meant it more in terms of sexual gratification? That way it'd be more insulting to the male viewers?

Pleased and excited to bring you an interview with one of my favorite producers today, Shook. A huge talent who, along with the likes of Breakbot, has forged his unique sound to become a guaranteed original producer with every track. His remixes have gained major respect and range from Ellie Goulding to Louis La Roche and his originals are smoother than a hairless chihuahua. If you have never heard from Shook before, I invite you inside for our interview and to take a listen to his big news of the day, which is the release of his latest original track, "Love For You." Cheers
Tell us a little bit about your creative past. Where do you come from and what attracted you so much to producing electronic music in your first years of production?
I made totally different music first. I experimented with loads of styles, but eventually I stuck with Shook because it was more personal and real to me.
What was the first musical instrument you owned? Was that the first time you realized you wanted to be a producer/remixer/DJ?
Probably a roland e-16 home keyboard. It wasn't my childhood dream or anything like that to become a producer. i wanted to be a animator, or comic book illustrator. But I seemed to have more of a talent for music, and started playing at a young age. Eventually this is where I ended up. i think it was just a natural progression.
What has been your favorite original or remix to work on? Did you anticipate your Ellie Goulding remix having such incredible reception?
I didn't expect the Ellie Goulding would be so popular no! I think I don't have a favourite one. I am really happy with my Phoenix remix, or Ellie Goulding though. Remixing is always a challange, and it really depends on the original track what my approach will be. I think I try to keep most of the original vocal and build new music around it. For me it's much more challinging this way, because I don't want to totally wreck the original track. But sometimes I do, and it's fun too.
Pick any artists you most enjoy following, seeing live and would want to collaborate with.
I am a great admirer of Breakbot. I think he opened a lot of doors, and is one of the first to really bring back the spirit of the music from the late 70′s and early 80′s funk, pop and disco. But besides the familiar names in the industry, there is a lot of undiscovered talent. To me, its not about how famous you are, but what your music sounds like.
What are a few of your favorite tracks at the moment? Are there any artists on your radar we should look out for in the next few months?
I am looking forward to the new album from French duo, Jupiter. I think they are really great, and I had the pleasure to perform on the same night as them in Casino Nouveau in Paris.
What's the craziest, strangest or most interesting thing you have seen while playing a live set?
People collapsing in front of me, drinks falling off the bar because everybody was jumping really hardcore, synchronized dancemoves; there are so many things to think of. The most awesome moments however, are when you look into the crowd, and you see that everybody knows your music by heart. I really appreciate that.
Studies show that many Shook fans have increased sexual experiences while listening to your music. One of our readers asks if you produce your music with that purpose or if you genuinely enjoy a more intimate sound.
Haha. Well, It comes naturally, I don't really think when I make music. But hey, as long as people are having fun because of my music, be it listening in the car, partying in the club or doing 'something else', it's alright with me.
Unless you are completely consumed by music and work, what are a few things you enjoy on your free time?
I am always consumed by music. If I'm not working, I listen to music, have a jamsession with my friends, or visit a gig. It's really difficult sometimes, because I'm always on the look out for alien enemies trying to kill me. When I make music there is a force field surrounding me, so I kinda have to if I want to grow old.
When you started production under the name Shook, did you expect this many people to absolutely love your music and distinct sound?
No, but it's a blessing. I just do what I do, and create something I really like myself. I think you always have to be true to what you really feel. It's awesome that the people seem to pick up on that.
What's next for Shook? Do you have any big announcements or plans of coming to America – perhaps Orlando, FL anytime soon?
I'm currently working on the next releases, and eventually I want to bring out an album. In between I play at some great gigs in Europe. Atm I don't have any confirmed dates yet for the States, but we are currently in the works of making something happen over the pond!
If we send you a PB&J tank top, would you wear it?
How about a t-shirt? Tank top is not my style

MADISON (WKOW) -- The federal government may try to get back nearly $23 million from the State of Wisconsin.
According to the Wisconsin State Journal, a federal audit to be released today alleges the Wisconsin Department of Health Services failed to adequately document $22.8 million charged to the federal Medicaid program. Auditors recommend the government seek reimbursement for the potential overcharges for services at 27 residential care centers. RCCs are private, non-governmental entities that provide custodial care and treatment to clients 21 and under.
The State Journal reports the audit shows the federal Medicaid program paid $23.9 million for HealthCheck services between October 1, 2004 and September 30, 2006. But the audit claims just $1.1 million in charges were allowable.
Wisconsin Health Secretary Kitty Rhoades says auditors misinterpreted and misapplied their own laws and rules in the situation.

Spicy Veggie Quesadilla
Sometimes when I get home from work I just need to eat; an elaborate recipe, or a dish that takes too much time to make just won't do. This savory quesadilla totally hit the spot and took no time at all to make! The combination of fresh tomatoes and bell peppers paired with spicy, pickled jalapeños, carrots and onions created a flavor party inside the basic tortilla shell. To top it all off, or fill it in rather, I used great tasting Daiya Cheddar shreds!
Here's an inside shot of the filling:
I don't use a microwave often, but this was an exception (I was starving!). My recommendation would be to either grill it or heat it on a flat pan to get the tortilla nice and crispy.

Syria warns Jordan over training and arming of rebelsBy JAMAL HALABY
THE Associated Press | April 05,2013AP FILE PHOTO
Syrian Free Army fighters are shown less than 10 miles from the Jordanian border in Syria last month.AMMAN, Jordan Syrias regime sternly warned neighboring Jordan on Thursday that it was playing with fire by allowing the U.S. and other countries to train and arm rebels on its territory.
Jordan, Americas closest ally in the Arab world, has long been nervous that President Bashar Assads hard-line regime could retaliate for supporting the rebels. The warning carried on state media may add to those jitters, though Jordanian government officials publicly downplayed it as mere speculation by the Syrian media.
Syrian state television said leaks in U.S. media show Jordan has a hand in training terrorists and then facilitating their entry into Syria. State radio accused Jordan of playing with fire.
A front-page editorial in the government daily al-Thawra accused Amman of adopting a policy of ambiguity by training the rebels while at the same time publicly insisting on a political solution to the Syrian crisis.
Jordans attempt to put out the flame from the leaked information will not help as it continues with its mysterious policy, which brings it closer to the volcanic crater, the paper said.
Two Jordanian officials downplayed the diplomatic tiff with Syria. One said Jordan will not discuss the state of relations through the media.
Such discussions are usually carried out through the appropriate diplomatic channels, he said. Both officials insisted on anonymity out of concern that their comments may further irritate relations, which have been historically bumpy.
Jordan has long been concerned that the Assad regime could use chemical weapons against it, or that agents linked to the regime or its allied Lebanese militant group Hezbollah could attack the kingdom.
The Syrian warnings appeared to reflect the regimes concerns about statements by U.S. and other Western and Arab officials saying Jordan has been facilitating arms shipments and hosting training camps for Syrian rebels since last October.
The training and the influx of foreign-funded weapons have coincided with rebel gains in southern Syria near the strategic border area with Jordan.
Those gains could be leading up to control of the region along the Jordanian border. That would be a major victory that could offer rebels a staging ground to try to attack the capital Damascus, the seat of Assads power.
Rebels already control large swathes of territory in northern Syria along the Turkish border.
Activists reported more advances in the south on Thursday.
The rebels receiving training in Jordan are mainly secular Sunni Muslim tribesmen from central and southern Syria who once served in the army and police.
The force is expected to fill a security vacuum mainly to protect the border with Jordan, assist displaced Syrians and possibly set up a safe haven for refugees if Assad is toppled.
The Syrians training in Jordan are also envisioned as a counterbalance to the Islamic militant groups that have proven to be among the most effective of the myriad rebel factions fighting Assads forces on the ground.
Chief among those rebel extremist groups is Jabhat al-Nusra or the Nusra Front, which the U.S. designates as a terrorist group and says is associated with al-Qaida.
The prominence of such extremist groups has fueled fears in Jordan that the chaos in Syria could lead to a failed state where Islamic militants have a free hand.
Israel and the United States also are concerned about militants potentially operating in the area near the Israeli frontier with Syria in the Golan Heights also in the south should Assads regime collapse.
Though Jordan is supporting one segment of the disparate patchwork of rebel groups, it is nevertheless concerned about the recent rebel advances in the south along its border.
One fear is that the fall of the area into rebel hands could unleash lawlessness on the border and provide a haven for Islamic extremist groups such as Nusra Front on its doorstep.
The Islamist rebel groups, particularly Nusra, are complicating the battlefield by thwarting much-needed international aid from countries such as the U.S. that do not want to bolster extremist, jihadi groups.
In the latest fighting in the south, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said fighters seized most parts of Karak neighborhood in the province of Daraa after several days of fighting.
Daraa province borders Jordan and its provincial capital of the same name was the birthplace of the uprising against Assad two years ago.
There were also heavy clashes reported in the town of Sheik Maskeen, which is on the route from the Jordanian capital Amman to Damascus. Daraa is 115 kilometers (71 miles) south of Damascus.
The Observatory, an anti-regime activist group, also reported clashes at a checkpoint outside a camp for displaced Syrians on the outskirts of the city of Daraa. It said rockets fell inside the camp, but did not say who fired them, or how many people died.
On Wednesday, opposition fighters captured a military base outside the city of Daraa. That victory followed the rebel takeover of Dael, one of the provinces bigger towns, and another air defense base in the area late last month.
Their aim is to secure a corridor from the Jordanian border to Damascus in preparation for an eventual assault on the capital. And they have made major progress along the way. Activists say several towns and villages along the Daraa-Damascus route are now in rebel hands.
It is widely believed that the rebels are close to seizing control of the two border posts with Jordan a significant gain that would bolster arms shipments to the rebels.
In comments distributed Thursday, Assad criticized the recent Arab League decision to give Syrias seat to the opposition, calling it meaningless theatre.
This League needs legitimacy itself. It cannot grant legitimacy to others nor withdraw it, he said in an interview with Turkeys TV channel Ulusal Kanal. Excerpts of which were published Wednesday and Thursday and the full interview will be aired Friday.MORE IN Wire NewsMARATHON, N.Y. Full StoryCHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.

Catholic Trivia: Who is Scipione Rebiba?
Here's a free Catholic trivia question for you, phrased several different ways you can ask your friends:
- Who is Scipione Rebiba?
- Which bishop can you find in the apostolic lineage of more than 5000 of the bishops alive today, including the pope?
- Who is the earliest bishop more than 90% of today's bishops can definitively identify in their lineage?
If you've never used Catholic-Hierarchy, you've been missing out. I use it frequently when I want to find out where a bishop is from. On its many pages, you'll find the Syllabus of Heirs – as I call it – the long list of bishops and their apostolic lineages, that is, the line of bishops, each one ordained by the last, all the way back to the apostles. Get familiar enough with the site and you'll begin to notice one name that haunts the pages like a ghost: Scipione Cardinal Rebiba.
Scipione Cardinal Rebiba is the last traceable bishop in the lines of many of the world's bishops, and there he appears on the bottom of almost all the apostolic lineages Catholic-Hierarchy catalogs, a reminder of days when record-keeping was not as important as it is considered today.
You might ask, "what are the implications of this sudden stop in the apostolic lineage?" Because it is unknown who ordained our mystery man to the the episcopate, it is conceivable, at least to conspiracy theorists, that his ordination could have been invalid, thus invalidating the ordinations of all his episcopal descendants – those 90% or over 5000 I mentioned earlier, including the pope. That's a mighty hefty concern!
In order to evaluate it properly, we need to consult some resources. Normally, I try not to put much stock in Wikipedia, but due to the Wikipedia Paradox (below), I will dispense with my normative rules.
Who is Scipione Rebiba and does his lack of apparent roots pose a problem?
According to Wikipedia, Scipione Cardinal Rebiba (1504-1577) was a Sicilian Cardinal who ordained into the episcopate a line of bishops ultimately leading to the Dominican Father Pietro Francesco Orsini. Orsini later became Pope Benedict XIII, who personally ordained 139 bishops for Europe and the Americas. Consequently, quite a few current bishops stem from that group, back to Orsini, and through him, to Scipione Cardinal Rebiba.
As Wikipedia reports, there is a common belief (I guess common now refers to something held by "some theology nerds living in the parish basement") that Cardinal Rebiba was ordained by the man who would become Paul IV. Paul IV, likewise, has an uncertain lineage. This is unfortunate, as it will probably not satisfy the conspiracy-prone. [Note: Mr. Crouchback, in the comments below, makes a good point: although history does not record the co-consecrators in these ordinations, they were almost certainly present as a reinforcement of the validity of Orders. The Church has long had the practice of requiring multiple bishops to ordain each new bishop, to safeguard against conspiracy theories like this one. Pope Marcellus II, just before Paul IV, had two co-consecrators.] Nevertheless, even if the lineage is not certain, there is no foundation for the idea that apostolic lineage is false. Apostolic lineage was discussed very early in the Church (in the New Testament and among the Early Church Fathers), and must be true. The specific lineage, however, simply wasn't always well-documented. Still, we have every reason to believe that Cardinal Rebiba knew his consecrator, and knew him to be an heir of the apostles, and so on down the line of bishops. People – Catholic people, at least – just don't go around getting "ordained" by non-bishops. Additionally, there's always the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who, I'm convinced, would not allow the Church to suffer from 500 years of invalid bishops. No, Cardinal Rebiba's ordination was valid, simply because common sense – and faith – tells us so.
That's enough heady stuff for today. While the potential implications of the bottle-necking of the apostolic lineage around Cardinal Rebiba is certainly interesting, there is another question to answer:
Who are the bishops that don't have Cardinal Rebiba in their lineage?
That was a little tricky to find. In fact, it became a late night scavenger hunt. At first, I searched Catholic-Hierarchy for "Bishop, -Rebiba," but the results included lots of deceased bishops. Then I searched for "Bishop, -Rebiba, -died" and found a few, including:
- Wilhelmus Joannes (Guillaume Jean) Demarteau, Bishop Emeritus of Banjarmasin, Indonesia
- Spiridon Mattar, Melkite Bishop Emeritus of São Paulo
Scrolling through the pages, though, it looked like the trail was going cold. Are there any living, non-retired bishops who don't have Cardinal Rebiba in their lineage?
I refined my search: "Bishop, -Rebiba, -died, -resigned"
Here's a summary of my results: "Melkite…Maronite…Chaldean…"
Okay, are there any living, non-retired Roman Rite Bishops who don't have Cardinal Rebiba in their lineage?
Finally, I found one! As Fr. Z would say, Huzzah!
Antony Selvanayagam, Bishop of Penang, Malaysia! We have a winner! Would the people of the Diocese of Penang please step forward to claim their prize?
Wow, what an exciting bunch of Catholic nerd research! More than 90%, or over 5000 bishops, today can trace their apostolic lineage back to Cardinal Rebiba through Pope Benedict XIII. I can't begin to imagine why Pope Benedict XIII chose to ordain so many bishops personally. Perhaps it was part of attempted reforms. Perhaps it was a way of giving a special mandate to the many bishops whose countries would shortly be evanglizing the New World. The exact reason evades us, but one thing is certain: this action has ensured for the foreseeable future that the vast majority of bishops can trace their lines back to Scipione Cardinal Rebiba. Cool, huh?
Another resource: please check out Charles Bransom's great work, upon which Catholic-Hierarchy is based.

Aren't two, additional co-consecrators needed for a licit (rather than just valid) consecration? It is my understanding that this is an ancient (and generally adhered to) requirement. May be this is accounted for in the conspiracy theories, but it seems like this would muddle things up a bit for them (e.g., did all the bishops that had Rebiba as their principal consecrator also only have Rebiba-line bishops as their co-consecrators? Seems unlikely).
Actually perhaps not…..until Pius XII, co-consecrators in the Roman rite as found in the Pontificale were merely ceremonial (at least, when viewed through the theology of the descendants of the scholastics)as they did not recite the Prayer of Ordination/Consecration, or many of the other prayers of the rite that certain theologians at one time or the other held to be necessary.
The tradition of having three bishops goes back to one of the early councils (I think Constantinople 381 but I can't remember precisely). It was implemented then precisely to avoid the idea of "the conspiracy theorists" of the XXI century. (People back then wondered the same things.) The idea was to ensure apostolic succession, so it would have to have sacramental effects if the primary consecrator was not a legitimate bishop.
In other words, nice fact but apostolic succession is safe.
Question: why does the episcopal lineage stop at Cardinal Rebiba when using the Catholic-Hierarchy website? Should we be able to trace each bishop back further, say… back to one of the Apostles?
Benedict XIII was only Pope for a bit less than six years, but was a bishop for nearly 50 years before he was elected Pope. Many of the consecrations took place before he was elected Pope.
I performed this little exercise a while back.
It was quite a search figure out who wasn't descended from him.
Even more fun is finding Catholic bishops who are descended from valid non-Catholic bishops.
The most important website regarding Apostolic Succession is Charles Bransom's Apostolic Succession in the Roman Catholic Church.
He is the source for most of the lineage data on my website.
My thanks to David for his kind words for my website. David has done a phenomenal job in creating and maintaining his site. It's a magnificent site.
There are very few non-Rebiban bishops alive – just over 200, three-quarters or so belonging to the lines of various Eastern Catholic Churches. Fifty-three bishops belong to non-Rebiban Roman rite lines and those bishops are noted on my website.
There are also a few Roman rite bishops found in the Chaldean amd Maronite lines. These bishops, too, are listed on my site.
I hope visitors will find the site interesting.
Also as an historical note the original sense of Apostolic Succession was not the Sacramental Succession (hands on head) but Jurisdictional Succession "in the Chair" (Peter, Linus, Cletus…Benedict XVI). What is usually not recognized is that for the full exercise of Episcopal Orders BOTH are needed. For example… Catholic and Orthodox Bishops are in full Apostolic Succession because there is both Sacramental and Jurisdictional Succession. Anglican Bishops possess the Succession "in the Chair" (i.e the Archbishop of Canterbury is the successor of Augustine of Canterbury and Thomas Becket, etc) but lack Sacramental Succession. SSPX Bishops have the opposite problem they possess Sacramental Succession but they lack jurisdictional succession and so lack the teaching authority of Bishops
I have been working on a little pet project, which is to create a so-called 'family tree' of all the world's living bishops, which at least keeps me entertained, and the Rebiba tree is huge. And although the trees I am building are not complete yet, there are some other interesting trends. Many living French bishops, for example, trace their lineage back to a Guillaume Cardinal d'Estouteville, who consecrated Pope Sixtus IV.
Another fun fact is that a number of Roman rite bishops, in the Caribbean and Africa, trace their succession back to Maronite bishops.

'photos every day'
this is a spot by tbwa/chiat/day for apple, called 'photos every day'. the craft is fantastic, and there's some subtle, unusual attention to detail in it.
let's take a look at the sound mix. here's a waveform of the spot:
and now here's the waveform of a conventionally mixed spot — this is that 'old spice' commercial everyone flipped out for a couple years ago. it might as well be any ad you see on tv today.
huge difference. there's incredible restraint in the amount of compression applied to the music in 'photos every day'. (from wikipedia, compression "reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet sounds by narrowing or "compressing" an audio signal's dynamic range".) my point here is that if you caught this on tv, it would be substantially 'quieter' sounding than other ads around it.
the other interesting thing about the mix is that the iPhone shutter click sound is substantially undermixed. it comes across as incidental, and unobtrusive. the ambiences are the real star here, and the sound editor wasn't even afraid to drop them out entirely for effect (see snowy skyscraper, 0:23).
other observations:
• there's a real nice match-cut at 0:06 of the guy jumping off his skateboard into the shot of the jogger running.
• 0:25, the iPhone bobs up and down at a concert, and halfway through, the shot itself starts bobbing with the phone, keeping the screen stationary in the frame.
• overall, there's a very careful variety of perspective, scale, and involvement. are we peering over someone's shoulder? watching from across the street? ostensibly taking the picture, ourselves?
• i could have done without the voiceover at the end.

Vintage photograph of the church and grange hall in Cornish, New Hampshire, possibly taken by E. R. Harrington, as you can see from the period scrap of paper taped to the top. Another photograph shows a closeup of the grange hall, below. Neither photograph has any markings on reverse.
Researching online, I found someone who may be our E. R. Harrington: an Elbert Russell Harrington, born November 2, 1884, the son of Levi W. and, possibly, Harriet Harrington of Cornish, New Hampshire.
In the 1880 Census, Levi is shown living with wife Harriet, daughter Anna and sister Phoebe.
As shown in the 1900 Census, Levi had moved across the Connecticut River to Winslow, Vermont where he called himself "widowed" and a "guard", possibly at a prison? Elbert is still living in Cornish, with his aunt Phoebe.
Whether Harriet was still living in 1884 when Elbert was born or if Levi had married another woman, who herself died before the 1900 Census was enumerated, I do not know.
By 1910, Levi was living back in Cornish with his wife Cozella. Elbert was living with them.
It appears that Elbert Russell Harrington married Mabel Albina Cheever in Ludlow, Vermont, in 1917. I find the couple in the 1920 Census but cannot find them in the 1930 Census. Mabel Albina (Cheever) Harrington died in 1985 in Massachusetts. I don't know if she and Elbert had any children.
Note the tower that appears at left in the photograph showing both the church and grange hall.
If you have any insights into the Harrington family or the church or grange hall, I would most appreciate hearing from you. Thanks for stopping by!

Hot, sunny, conditions very good.
To reach the climb we cut across the higher ground below the cliffs. This was probably a mistake as the ground is fairly broken there. Next time I will drop down to the bottom and come back up the scree slope below the route.andrew.eastland - Lead O/S - 30/Mar/13 with Peter Eastland

The Milltek Sport turboback exhaust is a no-fuss, bolt-on solution that frees up exhaust f Description The latest iteration of Subaru's STI is back on track with its aggressive widebody stance and the fabled rear wing that was lost for a generation. There's no doubting that the looks of the STI are on par with the best out there, but the new STI has lost a bit of its older sibling's edge when it comes to performance. Its sluggish, lackluster power output needs a serious overhaul to deliver the type of performance we expect from a car of this nature. The problem is with emissions and Subaru's aging EJ25 engine having to meet strict requirements to pass them. The solution is simple, though — with a few mods and a proper tune, the beast within the STI is awakened. First and foremost, the restrictive exhaust needs to be replaced with a quality-built, high-flow unit such as Milltek's Sport turboback exhaust system from its exclusive North American Subaru dealer, Mann Engineering. Built and designed at home in England, the system is made from 100 percent 304 stainless steel and features a high-flow design utilizing a 3-inch bellmouth downpipe and a HJC Motorsports 100-cell count high-flow catalytic converter that's built to withstand high heat and the abuse of a turbocharger. The rest of the system flows out to dual 2.325-inch mufflers that can be equipped with either 100mm titanium or polished stainless steel exhaust tips for a sleek OEM-like look. The Milltek Sport turboback exhaust is a no-fuss, bolt-on solution that frees up exhaust flow without increasing decibels significantly. The Milltek Sport turboback exhaust is a no-fuss, bolt-on solution that frees up exhaust f Stock downpipe versus Milltek: it's easy to see why the OEM piece is such a bottleneck. On the intake side, the STI can also use a helping hand, and Takeda's air intake is built to replace the front portion of the OEM intake setup. The anodized polished pipe places the dry filter element that's surrounded by a heat shield into the STI's front fenderwell, providing constant access to fresh air. Flow is said to increase 63 percent over its stock counterpart — a serious power boost. Results: Milltek Exhaust Plain and simple, the STI is a dog right off the showroom floor. It tries hard to deliver some type of excitement, but you can feel the ECU fighting the engine to ensure that any power it makes is done so in a clean, environmentally friendly way. Time to change all that (and still be environmentally conscious). The Milltek exhaust that was installed on our test mule proved to be the ideal upgrade for this '11 STI sedan. With such an intricate turboback exhaust, fitment issues can arise, but the Milltek is broken down into many small sections to ensure OEM-like tolerances and clearances. The factory O2 sensor is about the only thing that has to be moved from its original spot and placed further down the exhaust path, which requires some unclipping of plastic ties, but otherwise the system installs in just over an hour. The quad exhaust tips that are clamped onto the mufflers are adjustable, so you can set them to your desired length. If you have some extra cash, then we recommend splurging on the titanium tips because they add a unique look that you won't find on other systems. Sound-wise, the Milltek exhaust is an ideal blend of low rumble and aggressive, wide-open-throttle notes. Never does it annoy or drone during cruising — at times, you forget it's even there (and we're sure the police will, too). Milltek's exhaust tips come in either a polished stainless steel or titanium. If you have the extra dough, splurge for the titanium because they're sure to impress.

Contemporary hotels get intelligently modified in order to fast sociable adjustments along with innovative answers. In this article we are going to deal with one of the most impressive interior design trends which design up today'' hospitality field. Coming from rethinking guestroom designs to making sure extremely customized encounters, hotel business owners are usually changing lodging models towards the attributes of almost any escape. Regardless of whether you own a hotel or perhaps preparing your following business trip overseas, below are a few from the completely new great ideas in the market:
At Esspey seeing as home decorating idea blogs, we−ve seen a lot of hotel projects dedicated to providing an eye-catching initial perception. The significance of entry lobbies continues to grow, seeing as sociable activities become a little more plus more determined by this kind of hotel area. With all the new business traveling pattern, hotel lobbies ought to provide a multi−use room meant for casual along with formal talks, working away at laptops, connecting in a variety of devices.
This signifies a straightforward sofa−coffee table set up won't work. Innovative room segmentation is essential, offering the two passionate as well as sociable zones, along with furniture offering ease and comfort along with features. A lot more luxurious entrance functions throughout today's emerging hotel marketplace consist of indoor waterfalls as well as big green wall along with large chandeliers plus multimedia stations.
Will no longer could be the basic bed−table−locker combo sufficient to create a hotel room really feel welcoming. Within today's world guests assume excitement where otherwise, however off from house. Most likely the reason why every interior in the current hotel market is not the same as the following. Innovative workplaces meant for enterprise vacationers, fascinating searching Television sections as well as an additional sofa near the king−sized bed a few of the important thing "ingredients" to get a
Bath rooms prevented becoming regarded as additional rooms, areas to become minimized, to be able to broaden living places. The present day tourist wants a lot more than he will get in property as part of his trips. Some sort of resort bathroom together with spa−like capabilities is definitely an open request to be able to leisure plus a sure−proof approach to appealing visitors from the commitment of ephemeral luxury. Consider en−suite bedrooms along with over−sized bathtubs as well as waterfall showers also giant towels also with his&hers sinks plus beauty items and plenty of space.
Couple of hotel restaurants even now starting their particular attractiveness purely at "practicability". Creating meals is usually a talent thus the treatment of anxiety "exhibition space". We've experienced ever more accommodation cafes was terrific places thru design. Themes are strongly suggested, pressing creativeness to cutting edge heights along with switching each and every place towards a vacation spot by itself.
Physical encounters significantly help. This particular "principle" was nicely built-in within the variety of providers provided by contemporary hotel entrepreneurs, which battle to prevent the interior exterior changeover seeing as "ethereal" as you can. Not just are usually rooms in hotels broadened thru big patio ' s along with terraces, however nature will be delivered within in every single way you can. Wood paneling as well as lush greenery also stone decorations as well as indoor waterfalls−they are simply a few of the factors used to launch the strain from hotel guests.

Pros: Well made. Sturdy.
Cons: None. If you know what you're doing.
Other Thoughts: I looked around the internet at cables of similar design to mine and found out why it doesn't work. It turns out that the signal coming from the VGA port must be a "Y, B-Y, R-Y" component video signal for it to work as intended (or have some kind of VGA to "Y, B-Y, R-Y" component video converter placed in between). I hope this info is helpful.

"Mom and dad served peanuts during the intermission. There was beer in a keg. Also, various friends were given instruments to make noises—cymbals or a cardboard tube that was used when they wanted to roar like a lion."
Calder made Calder's Circus to perform for his friends. It was not meant to be a museum exhibit. Luckily, there are films of the artist performing Calder's Circus so we can see how he wanted us to experience it and share his excitement.
Alexander Calder built this tiny circus during his years in Paris. He created a complete troupe of performers — from acrobats and animals to clowns and tightrope walkers —using ordinary household materials. Look closely and you'll see everything from bits of cloth, yarn, and paper to rubber tubes, buttons, and bottle caps.
Calder didn't design his circus as a three-ring spectacle. It's more like the intimate, one-ring circuses he saw in France. Now I'd like to introduce two guys who started a traditional, one-ring circus here in New York City. Here's Michael Christensen, Cofounder and Creative Director of the Big Apple Circus, remembering his circus days in Paris with Founder and Artistic Director Paul Binder.
MICHAEL CHRISTENSEN: We were a juggling act, a comedy-juggling act. We threw juggling clubs, our hats, our shoes, a rubber chicken, and from time to time a squirting fish named Ronald. Do you remember Ronald?
PAUL BINDER: I do. And what was funniest about our act is we started where everybody else left off. We started by dropping things.
MICHAEL CHRISTENSEN: Then once we dropped them — then we had to pick them up.
PAUL BINDER: Yeah.
MICHAEL CHRISTENSEN: And that wasn't always easy, and there was a lot of comedy to be had in just picking up one club.
PAUL BINDER: Or one squirting fish.
MICHAEL CHRISTENSEN: Named Ronald. … Anyway, we found our home in the Nouveau Cirque de Paris. We walked into that ring and felt like home.
And there's an image that always stays with me: … Paul and I, behind the curtain, Nouveau Cirque de Paris, looking into this wonderful world of the circus, and we look at each other as if we're nine years old, and we say, "Do you believe it?
BOTH: "… We're in the circus!"
PAUL BINDER—I think a ringmaster is sort of—he's a character that interprets for the audience, and he comments on the action, and he's an authority figure.
NARRATOR—Andrey Mantchev learned to do tricks on a teeterboard in Bulgaria, where he grew up. A teeterboard looks something like a seesaw. Calder's Circus features a teeterboard act, too. Can you find it? I'll give you a sec.
Here's how it worked: One acrobat stood on one end of the teeterboard. Calder made another acrobat climb up onto the platform (drumroll please!) and then made the acrobat launch himself from a catapult. He landed on the other end of the teeterboard, launching the first acrobat up into the air.
Andrey Mantchev trained for a year to do a trick like this one.
ANDREY MANTCHEV—It all happens so quick. You don't really have that much time to think about things. But as I'm stepping on top of the teeterboard, my initial thoughts are how to do my trick; I just remember, step by step, what I'm supposed to do so I can be able to do the trick. … First is as I put my arms down, which is a signal for the people on the platform to jump, so they can catapult me. My first thoughts are doing the tempo to be able to jump off the teeterboard; then bringing my legs to my chest in order to make a somersault; and opening and seeing the person underneath me, and trying to land softly.
NARRATOR—Horses perform several routines in Calder's Circus. Find the act with a woman standing on a horse's back. In this act, Calder stretched a rope across the circus ring, just high enough for the horse to gallop under. The horse circled the ring mechanically, with the woman standing on his back. By manipulating the rope and the wires attached to the woman's figure, Calder made her jump the rope as the horse passed under it.
CHRISTINE ZERBINI—It's known as bareback riding. … It is very fun; it's very difficult because you have to have very good balance, and you have to feel what the horse is feeling also. If the horse decides to stop or move sideways, it can knock you off balance.
CHRISTINE ZERBINI—Yes, I've performed with a variety over the years. … Everything from zebras and elephants to cows and pigs.
NARRATOR—Christine talks to the animals while they're performing together. She uses the French word brave, which means "well done."
CHRISTINE ZERBINI—Our horses, if you say "brave," that means that everything is good. That's a very soothing way of saying "good," and it's easy for them to understand. Each trainer has their own words or cues for the animals, but we just like to reward them a lot and give them a lot of soothing, comforting vocals.… As soon as you see — even if it's not a hundred percent, even if it's just a small effort — we let them know, "Brave, good boy!" So that way they understand, oh, okay, that's what I have to do. And normally by the second time, they've caught on right away.
If they don't get to perform, they really feel left out. And I think that feeling of just being out there with them is the best reward of all.
SARAH SCHWARZ—My name is Sarah Schwarz. I am a company member; this is my third season with the Big Apple Circus. And as a company member, we do different acts every year. I am doing the wire, this is my main act, so this year I can present my tightrope act in the Big Apple Circus.
NARRATOR—Sarah Schwarz learned to walk a tightrope in Germany, where she was born. Calder used his fingers to manipulate the string, coaxing the acrobats across the tightrope. What goes through a real performer's mind as she's walking the tightrope?
SARAH SCHWARZ—You want details? [Laughs] All the details: you look at the end of the wire, you keep your arms up, you put your feet straight, not like a duck, and not like the ballerinas in the beginning: you just put them straight. … A wire is about twelve millimeters thick; it's more or less like the little finger. … It's about seven meters long — I'm sorry I don't speak in feet and inches. What else is to tell about the wire? It is for me the most beautiful instrument in the circus. … You become light, you get this feeling of flying, dancing in the air. Mm-hm!
Real circus performers must build these routines into their muscle memory, until they can do them without fear. Sarah Schwarz tells us how.
SARAH SCHWARZ—Well, my first advice is, "Practice, practice, practice!" [Laughs] You just gotta do it and do it and do it and do it. … It's an exercise of concentration, really. And I tell my students that it's going to help them in school, too, because it's really great exercise on your concentration.
And you always have the risk to fall. The public always wait for that. Always. … Most of us, the circus artists, we like to show very difficult things to look very easy. So people will never get an idea how difficult it is, what I'm doing.

Washington Dc, U...
This coat was made with McCalls's M6657 view B with the following alterations:
-Removed 6" from the length of the pattern
-Added a seam to the arm
The lining used is a heavier charmeuse which was a bit too heavy for this fabric which needless to say, another grey coat is in my future.
note: The fabric was purchased at moodfabrics.com but it appears to be sold out. The item code is
FW12287 and the description is Grayhound solid coating

Hi friends,
I have a problem that needs your help :)
If you see this site: http://www.nosotroscinco.com
you will see the button +info
By clicking there, I show or hide a <div> using the below js function:
<script language="javascript">
function toggle() {
var ele = document.getElementById("toggleText");
if(ele.style.display == "block") {
ele.style.display = "none";
else {
ele.style.display = "block";
The problem I have here, is that each time the "next" or "prev" buttons are pressed (< or >) reload the page, and I want to reload the URL but with last status for the ele.style.display.
I don´t know if I am clear enough, but for instance, I open the website home, then click in +info, it shows the hidden div, then click in next button ">", I want that +info is opened if previously it was opened.
I really appreciate your help on this, I am driving crazy and cant solve this.
Thanks & Best regards

LG Electronics will exhibit its next generation of smart appliances at the Consumer Electronics Show next week in Las Vegas, including upgraded Smart ThinQ appliance energy management technology, the Home Energy Management System (HeMS) home networking system (pictured), and device-to-device connectivity across home appliances, Smart TVs, smartphones, and PCs.
LG's exhibit at CES in Las Vegas - Jan. 10-13, 2012 – will also feature:
• A new Blast Chiller-equipped French-door refrigerator, which earned the CES 2012 Best of Innovations award. The Blast Chiller is a quick-chilling compartment for drinks, capable of cooling a 12-ounce can of beer or soda in less than five minutes.
• A fast clothes washer that was also honored with a 2012 CES Innovations Award.
• A smart oven.
• The HOM-BOT robotic vacuum cleaner, with a Dual Eye Mapping feature and smart navigation to allow for more precise cleaning. The appliance is just 3.5 inches and has a noise level of only 50dB.
"We first previewed our smart appliances at CES a year ago, and the line-up has evolved considerably since then," said Moon-bum Shin, Executive Vice President and CEO of LG Electronics Home Appliance Company. "LG has not only upgraded individual technologies for each product, but has also greatly enhanced connectivity throughout the home. By creating new possibilities for chore management, such as allowing consumers to monitor washing machines through their TVs or smartphones, LG is enabling homeowners to rethink the concept of household chores."
Smart Fridge Functions
Smart ThinQ offers customized and flexible ways to control energy use. It is based around a Smart Manager, with its complete food management system, allowing homeowners to use the refrigerator LCD panel or their smartphones to check what food is inside, where it's located, and when it will expire.
Smart Diagnosis enables the quick and convenient diagnosis or troubleshooting of the appliance via smart devices.
Smart Access lets consumers access and monitor the operational status of appliances through smart devices.
Smart Adapt lets users download new programs, so they can get the latest software developments without buying a new appliance.
The appliances are also designed to be Smart Grid-ready, meaning that once local utility companies begin offering Smart Grid-compatible, differentiated energy-rate time slots, consumers can re-adjust their function settings to take advantage of optimum energy rates every day.
Home Energy Management
The Home Energy Management System (HeMS) home networking system gives users access to the energy usage data of the smart appliances in the home via smartphone or PC. Customers can monitor their energy usage and energy costs by the hour, day, month, or year.

Overview: At age twenty-one, Andrea Palpant Dilley stripped the Christian fish decal off her car bumper in a symbolic act of departure from her religious childhood.
At twenty-three, she left the church and went searching for refugein the company of men who left her lonely and friends who pushed the boundaries of what she once held sacred.
In this deeply personal memoir, Andrea navigates the doubts that plague believers and skeptics alike: Why does a good God allow suffering? Why is God so silent, distant, and uninvolved? And why does the church seem so dysfunctional?
Yet amid her skepticism, she begins to ask new questions: Could doubting be a form of faith? Might our doubts be a longing for God that leads to a faith we can ultimately live with?

Operations is imbedded in every line of business to support our functions and ensure that our businesses run effectively and efficiently. Operations has a direct impact on our capabilities and productivity, enabling us to manage processes and risks, while continuously evolving to meet the needs of our clients. Our Operations teams handle the end-to-end process management of all core production and client servicing activities across each line of business. It's a vitally important division that maintains excellence across our global businesses.
Magnitude of a Summer Analyst's job
Operations Summer Analysts can work within any line of business including Asset Management, Community & Consumer Banking, Commercial Banking, Corporate & Investment Bank or the Corporate sector, allowing them to deliver excellence in our global businesses. We offer interns the opportunity to experience Operations firsthand through two distinct summer programs:
Through hands-on learning, formal training and mentoring, the ten-week Operations Analyst Development Program (OADP) will touch one major line of business and core functional group.
This is an environment where your responsibilities will change as quickly as the markets themselves. However, you will gain knowledge to become a leading Operations professional working on core processing, settlements, trade support, cash reconciliation, client service and business reporting immediately on the job.
Responsibility from the start
Our Operations summer interns add value from day one by taking on responsibilities similiar to a full-time Analyst. Everything you do will occur in real-time, so be prepared to learn quickly, adapt to situations instantly and act smartly and strategically. It's a demanding experience but you'll find that colleagues and managers will be on-hand to offer support throughout your program.
What we look for
You don't have to come from a financial or business background to succeed here - although a healthy interest in both is vital to take on a role with enthusiasm. Your personal attributes are equally important and can be demonstrated through diverse coursework, extra-curricular activities and/or previous work experience, rather than a specific degree or academic major.
The challenges won't stop, so the talent to assimilate new experiences and use them to your benefit is essential. You should have the confidence to conceptualize and execute ideas with speed and accuracy, along with the ability to communicate them effectively with members of your team. The most valued people in Operations are those who maintain composure and stay focused at all times, especially under pressure.
Training and development
Over the duration of our summer internship programs, in addition to learning alongside your colleagues, you'll benefit from a combination of structured ongoing training and development opportunities, professional skills and leadership training, business competency skills training and additional program support and coaching.

More Money Given To The Best Teachers To Train Their Peers
by Aundrea Cline-Thomas
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A teacher is the single most important factor in a child's progress. Getting a good one is crucial, especially when so many Metro students are struggling to get ahead. That's why some schools are offering an incentive to keep the best teachers in the classroom to help their peers.
In her nearly three decades as an educator, Renee Morgan didn't want to leave the classroom for a higher paying job in administration.
"I wanted to be on the ground level," Morgan said. "I wanted to be where the children were."
She's one of three multi classroom leaders at Buena Vista Elementary.
"I'm shoulder to shoulder with teachers," she said. "I go in the classroom. I help teacher develop their program."
It's a new position where teachers with a track record of success mentor their peers by working in groups and individually to develop new strategies. They even teach smaller groups of struggling students, giving them the one-on-one attention they need.
"It gives them opportunities to ask questions that they may be afraid to ask in a whole group setting," classroom leader Joi Mitchell said. "This is just more personalized for them."
In exchange the classroom leaders earn $1,500 dollars for every teacher they oversee; that amounts to on average a 20 percent increase in pay. They are also no longer just responsible for one classroom, the test scores of the entire grade factors into their evaluations.
"It is a big responsibility," Morgan said. "I mean it's massive, but it's not something that can't be done."
With more money comes increased responsibility, but it's not the financial rewards that brought them here in the first place.
Robert Churchwell Elementary and Bailey Middle Schools are also implementing similar positions. It's helping teachers improve so they can reach the students who need their help the most.

It's a great honor for a cruise line to identify a Godmother and have her name a ship. So why not have seven? Royal Caribbean International is ready to release the names of our seven wonderful Oasis of the Seas Godmothers, one for each of Oasis' seven neighborhoods. All day tomorrow (Wednesday, November 18th), we will communicate via oasisoftheseas.com, Facebook and Twitter the names of the seven Godmothers. The naming ceremony will take place at sea off Ft. Lauderdale on Monday, November 30th.
4 responses to:
"Announcing Oasis of the Seas' Seven Godmothers"
Daisy Fuentes ??? She's promoting another cruise line that's horrible. Why ???
I see your new policy iritated a lot of other customers. Ever look at cruisecritic.com?
Hello All -
As I was booking a cruise on the Oasis, I was just informed by my travel agent that the NextCruise $100 on-board credit is worthless for Platinum Members!!!
Apparently there was a corporate decision put into effect at the beginning of the year stipulating that this so-called benefit can not be combined with other discounts. This should have been made perfectly clear on the form that is filled out when registering for this program and the Loyalty Ambassador should have pointed it out as well. The booking (Booking Id 5265947) document that was left in our cabin has NO mention that it could not be combined with any other promotion. The wording states "With this NextCruise account you have secured the ability to receive an onboard credit in the value of $50-$300 per stateroom". Surely, when the booking was made, someone should have recognized the amount of cruise that we have been on. They were able to determine who the travel agent was.
This is a tremendous DISSERVICE to your loyal customers! I've been on 7 cruises with Royal Caribbean and 2 on Celibrity. Each year the "benefits" are dwindling more and more. Maybe it is time to take our business elsewhere! There were two other couples who cruise with us that will also be upset with this when the travel agent or I inform them. Because of this misrepresentation, Royal Caribbean should honor our $100 on board credits along with the Platinum discounts and take the steps to eliminate the misrepresentation to other customers.
My wife and I just returned from a splendid inaugural crossing on the Carnival Dream. We were treated wonderfully although we have only sailed 3 previous cruises with Carnival. We have sailed 18 cruises with RCCL and 9 with Celebrity, but because you have decimated the Crown and Anchor Diamond benefits, we have chosen to vote with our feet and take our cruising dollars elsewhere. We have three cruises currently booked with NCL. As we read the news releases for the Oasis it strikes us that you have an exciting ship to fill and many dissatisfied fomer cruisers that did not even recieve the courtesy of responses to their letters and e-mails. Someone should do a little simple math. This arrogance is not going un-noticed except,sadly, perhaps by you.
It's an exciting time to cruise Royal Caribbean. We are hoping we can book an Oasis cruise for nest year. I've heard that a new dock has been built on Labadee for the Oasis. We will be arriving at Labadee on the Jewel on December 13, but we have heard that we will still have to tender in. If that's correct, we were curious why only Oasis can dock, and not Royal Caribbeans other ships? Why would all that money be spent so just one ship can dock there?

I just wrote a piece for the soon-to-launch "Little PINK Book" newsletter (part of PINK magazine). Unless you're already supremely organized, you may find it useful.
As spring approaches, thoughts turn to shorter hemlines and outdoor lunches. (So long, mercilessly dry skin! Hello, sunscreen!)
Almost as quickly, though, another feeling surfaces and this one isn't all sunshine-and-happiness. Because isn't spring also tax season? And weren't you planning to come up with a better way to organize receipts by now, only you never did?
Paper receipts still litter the bottom of your bag, like the lining in some mama bird's nest.
Solution: Turn to one of these nifty services for cataloging, organizing and accessing receipts.
- Shove them in an envelope and mail to Shoeboxed.com. The service scans your receipts, then allows you to securely search for them online by store name, date, total and so on. Cost: Beginning at $9.95 monthly. Another service, Pixily.com, is similar. Cost: Beginning at $14.95 monthly.
- Scan your own receipts with a NeatReceipts scanner and software. Bonus? It lets you divvy up purchases according to IRS tax codes. Cost: $199
- Want the fast and dirty (and free) solution? The Evernote application lets you snap photos of receipts then automatically synchronizes them to your desktop. Text within photos becomes searchable, so you can find and view what you need later.
With a better plan for organizing receipts, you may find that spring in your step after all.
