Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Pull Me Down (Onto You)
Will Graham is an aspiring, young photographer who is too used to taking pictures of his favorite animal; the stag deer. One day, he gets the chance to photograph a long-time suit model Hannibal Lecter. Will falls fast and hard for the man and his clever charm. He tries his best to stay away, but his conscious isn't so willing… but Hannibal is so much more underneath his strong, handsome shell; and Will may or may not fall to pieces when he finds out who Hannibal really is.

(AP) — Detroit Tigers starter Rick Porcello has struggled in the past against the Texas Rangers, with Josh Hamilton doing some of that damage this year.
Porcello's worst career regular-season ERA against an AL opponent is the work of the high-scoring Rangers heading into the opener of a three-game set Monday night in Arlington.
The right-hander is 1-2 with a 12.27 ERA in three outings against Texas (45-28), including his shortest effort over his last three seasons April 21. Porcello (4-5, 4.95 ERA) was tagged for nine runs over one-plus inning in a 10-4 defeat in the opener of a doubleheader.

This complaints aren't vague avp77.I have the same problem as another several user of distributel/acanac usersIf all of us didn't satisfy you go ahead and check acanac community under cable internet problems.Almost everyone with iptv or live streaming are affected. I'm not talking about youtube and netflex as these are working fine. I'm talking about any live TV service. For example me and another user are having trouble streaming from ATN network.Another User having problems streaming from Comedy Network Canada and another from Neulion.The common thing between all of them is distributel cable internet
I suppose I meant they are hard for another person to verify, since it seems that almost all the services mentioned require paid accounts with some content provider?I tried the Comedy Network and clips from that seem fine. I also haven't had any problem with Youtube, Vimeo, BBC and all other news sites, 3rd party sports streams like atdhe, etc...Not saying you're not having problems, but I wouldn't characterize it as a problem all Distributel users are having with streamed video.
Its anything single threaded. Turn off our download managers and just download regularly and watch your speed go to as if you had 5Mbps dsl. Its pathetic, they know this, and I hesitate to say: This is why they dont have a lot of cable capacity problems. The capacitys there for only people know how to utilize it. For most, thell uncontiously be downloading at slow speeds not knowing how fast it is suppose to be.

Try justin.tv, pick a live gaming stream and run in at 1080 and come back and let us know how that goes.
Awesome, try again after 7pm. Their network admin has acknowledged there is a problem, if you can't replicate it more power to you. It's there.*edit* can you confirm that you are on cable as well?
I haven't, however I will share some information that wasn't posted in the OP, because I was waiting for some information. I contacted Distributel's CSR Admin, Daniel Brisson, after writing the OP, and they put me through directly to one of their network engineers. He replicated the issue by streaming from the sites I was using with various ISPs, and Distributel was unable to stream, whereas the other ISPs had no issues. The network engineer had informed his director and told me this issue required core changes and I'd see them implemented late June. The wait was because the changes would impact everyone and had to be thoroughly tested -- understandable. Well, we're heading into July now and I haven't heard from him since June 11th.Unfortunately, I decided to cancel my service with Distributel. Being able to stream is important to me and not hearing any sort of an update for such a long period of time was a deal breaker to me. Perhaps some of you guys that are affected by it can contact Daniel again, and ask an update. I'm sure if you link them to this thread, it would ring a bell.
From what I have been finding, the problem cannot be seen via a speed test. You can have a 18+ Mbps speed test result and still get poor performance on the stream. I was having the same issue with streaming for the last few weeks when I tested it. I viewed the MIB3 preview from youtube in 1080p and it was full of buffer requests at 1080p. Also had poor performance from Justin.tv (Twitch.tv).Yesterday however after testing I did not find any issues. I was able to stream the MIB3 trailer and other trailers without buffer stops. It downloaded the whole trailer in a few seconds. Justin.tv (Twitch.tv) worked fine as well during prime time and off prime time with 1080p and 720p live streams.There was some network upgrades completed last week to move us off of a congested network with Rogers.I am served off the St Laurent POI in Ottawa.If people are still having issues, PM me your postal code. Samgee, can you PM me yours.I can also confirm that this issue does not occur with DSL.
still pretty bad for me. Will pm you my postal code
Thanks for your help sehache.
Being on Acanac 30/2 internet for a bit more than a month this problem caught my attention and I wanted to check if I had the same problem. I'm in Quebec, so on Videotron's network and everything was fine when I tried it. MIB3 1080 trailer finished downloading after about 1/4 of the video had played. I also tried Justin.tv, I selected a live game feed that was 1080 and no problem as well... Maybe they fixed it recently, but I watched a few HD videos from youtube before and never had a problem...
same issue as everyone else.like priyen says its a routing issues, fixed by using a vpn or ssh tunnel. i wonder if rogers dpi has anything to do with it.without vpn my ping to google.ca is 130ms avgwith vpn its 20ms
Wow, about 2 months and still not resolved? Time to switch providers, guys. Try Teksavvy or Start Communications.
2 months ... i've had this for nearly 1.5 years to no avail. But i am finally giving up and changing after my term
Yes, this has been an issue since Day 1 on Acanac cable Internet, though I only signed up about 14 months ago and initially only noticed it with downloads (using the DownThemAll extension for Firefox makes it really obvious).There were threads there about this last year, but they never resolved to anything.It's a joke at this point.
I have been using Distributel for a few months.I was talking to their Tech Support last night and he told me, "Well, if there's nothing wrong with your speedtest, then there is nothing we can do".I ran their stupid speedtest.bat file and it showed the following tracert:Tracing route to www.l.google.com [188.8.131.52]over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 16 ms 7 ms 8 ms 188.8.131.52.in-addr.arpa [10.101.142.129] 2 20 ms 11 ms 11 ms 188.8.131.52.in-addr.arpa [184.108.40.206] 3 13 ms 7 ms 9 ms gw-rchmdhll1-to-ipr02.distributel.net [22.214.171.124] 4 19 ms 12 ms 10 ms xe-2-2-0-1405.ipr01.totftds.ext.distributel.net [22.214.171.124] 5 10 ms 11 ms 20 ms gw-google.torontointernetxchange.net [188.8.131.52] 6 10 ms 10 ms 10 ms 126.96.36.199.in-addr.arpa [18.104.22.168] 7 29 ms 29 ms 29 ms 126.96.36.199.in-addr.arpa [220.127.116.11] 8 102 ms 102 ms 101 ms 184.108.40.206.in-addr.arpa [184.108.40.206] 9 100 ms 102 ms 100 ms 18.104.22.168.in-addr.arpa [184.108.40.206] 10 111 ms 126 ms 111 ms 184.108.40.206.in-addr.arpa [188.8.131.52] 11 126 ms 114 ms 126 ms 126.96.36.199.in-addr.arpa [188.8.131.52] 12 125 ms 125 ms 125 ms 184.108.40.206.in-addr.arpa [126.96.36.199] 13 125 ms 124 ms 125 ms 188.8.131.52.in-addr.arpa [22.214.171.124] 14 * * * Request timed out. 15 125 ms 124 ms 125 ms bk-in-f99.1e100.net [220.127.116.11]I have tried calling back today but no luck so far.Can anyone give me advice as to what I should do, and if I switch providers, who should I switch to? Would going for DSL solve the problems? And what kind of ping would I get with DSL?Thanks
unfortunately my friend teksavvy has same issues sometimes. worse i fear its rogers back to its tricks. i switched from teksavvy cable to acanac. problem was during prime time, teksavvy would have huge latency issues and even time out. the connection would literally disconnect for few sections. acanac doesn't time out though but the latency is always big and single link downloads are super slow
I've raised this issue on their Facebook page (wall posts by others not visible, however), as well as via email to the tech support.Not expecting to hear much at this point, but will post upon their response.
After talking with a few people on this thread, and looking around, I found the following.* I do not have issues with Justin.tv or youtube high def video streaming now. Tried on a few occasions at different times during the day. Another person on this thread who lives a few blocks away is having the issue. We get IP addresses in different ranges so we are not served by the same equipment. But we are served by the same POI* I have seen a few posts in Techsavvy forums for the same issues. Some where due to transit links being used, but that would affect all customers for the most part. This issue only affects some customers in certain areas.* Streams are being affected by loss of data. Loss could be occuring in a few different places and blame could be laid accordingly. - If loss is seen before it enters the network, then maybe problem with transit or site itself(not likely since others would complain). - If loss is seen within network, after transit but before Rogers, then - loss could occur between our network and customer dwelling - Possible congested node.Anyone willing to help test this. Would need to run wireshark on your box and send me captures of a stream.
Currently discussing the issue and possible options with sehache myself.To add to this, I was able to successfully stream a 1080p channel on justin.tv, post-midnight last night. However, around 6:30PM or so, they would play for a few seconds, stutter for a bit, resume playing, and eventually freeze altogether.
Guys remember the issue is not SPECIFIALLY streaming, its single threaded connections.Anything that will utilize single threads will be slow. and that is a BIG issue with distributel's network.(thus causing slow streaming)
Speakeasy (CHI) has now hit 21Mb.Streaming 1080p just fine.Keep it coming.
I had the same issue but for the first time today I am able to watch IPTV at normal speedDid something change?
Things have definitely improved.*edit* Downloads in IE hold steady at 3.4 MB/sec, 1080p streaming solid and uninterrupted. Good across the board. Torrents were never an issue and running full speed.*edit2* Just noticed that my upstream has 4 bonded channels now as well.
I can also confirm improvement but slight.On links where i used to get 300Kbps, i am now getting ~500Kbps..But i was really expecting at least half (1.5MB/sec ) at the least :/Still hoping for significant improvement.
yup speeds for have improved a lot. from 24kb/sec to 1-3mb/sec
Hmm... not sure if it's my node, but speeds are on the slow side today.Speedtest.net is hovering around 10Mb, while Speakeasy is barely breaking 5Mb.Twitch.tv @ 1080p is a no go.Anyone else?EDIT (6:54PM): Speeds are going back up.

Perfect way to take your chain apart. Also the perfect replacement for the Shimano HG equivalent link. Installed new Dura Ace HG chain only to find my drivetrain was making a regular creaking noise. Ultimately it was missing link, so replaced with the KMC version asap

Seven things you can do now for an independent Scotland
There are some things you can do right now to help Scotland become independent in 2014.
The most important thing you can do now is to persuade one other person to say "Yes". Our key message is simple:
"It is fundamentally better for all of us if decisions about Scotland's future are taken by the people who care most about Scotland - that is by the people of Scotland."
(We have lots of information about an independent Scotland in our Answers section.)2. Sign up
If you agree with our key message, then please sign the Yes Declaration. This is important as it helps demonstrate how many people want our country to make its own decisions.3. Volunteer
If you have signed the declaration and want to take an active part in the campaign, why not sign up to be a volunteer? This will help us gather together the grassroots campaigners who will help us win. The referendum may be two years away but we have to get organised now.4. Events
Volunteers are already setting up events across the country. You can find one near you in our Events section.
You can also create your own event and publicise it on the site. This is the best way we can ensure that all those who support an independent Scotland get a chance to get involved.
5. Groups
There are are also groups you can join based on shared interests. The ones we have launched already include:
6. Get local
Local campaigning is vital to our success in the referendum. In some areas, volunteers have already organised meetings to discuss how they can set up local campaigns that work for their community. These meetings are your chance to have your say in how we can build momentum for a Yes vote where you live. (That won't be decided by Yes Scotland, it'll be decided locally by you.)
7. OnlineThe internet is a fantastic way for Yes Scotland to get our message across - and for us to reach out to those who do not yet agree with us.
If you're on Facebook, please "like" our Facebook page. But don't just "like" the homepage, like individual pages you find interesting. As well as "liking" a page, it's even more useful to us if you "share" the link and write a little bit about why you like it. And if you know someone who might be interested in what we have to say please try to persuade them to "like" our Facebook page too.Twitter
If you're a Twitter user, please follow us. We're @YesScotland. Also, please retweet anything of ours you think is interesting.Google+
If you use Google Plus, please +1 our homepage, the declaration page and anything else you think is interesting.Blog
If you have a blog, do link to any Yes Scotland pages, pictures, pieces or videos you think might be interest to your readers.Guidelines
We are the positive campaign and, in that spirit, have published some online discussion guidelines we'd like our supporters to follow. (They can be summed up as "be nice"...)
… and a big thank you
We really appreciate your help in making the Yes campaign a success. Without your support, we can achieve nothing. With your help, we will all create an independent Scotland.
3 steps to being IndyReady
The many strands of the broad-based movement for a Yes vote in the independence referendum have engaged and energised people of all ages and from all walks of life in Scotland. Our success so far is built firmly on a national grassroots movement that is characterised by its enthusiasm, diversity, good humour, tolerance and...
Let's make 2014 the Year of Yes. Here are a few suggested new year's resolutions to help the Yes campaign hit the ground running in 2014.
The story of a cancer sufferer opting for life-prolonging treatment so that she can live long enough to vote Yes in next year's referendum is told today in the Scottish Sun newspaper.
Since the launch of the Yes Scotland campaign last year, I have travelled the length and breadth of the country, from Stornoway to Stranraer, from Dunoon to Dundee. During the course of my travels, I have spoken to thousands of people at a variety of venues, including town halls, schools, community centres and miners' welfare...

Apple bails out Google
Google's CEO has been lauding iAd, saying that Apple's foray into mobile advertising demonstrates a competitive market in which Google should be allowed to acquire AdMob. Google has been trying to buy AdMob since November, having snatched the company from Apple, but is facing resistance from the Federal Trade Commission who sees …
how exactly?!
is iAd a competitor to Admobile given any sane buisness move for Admobile would be to target all handsets except the Jesus line.
Obvious Man!
"""is iAd a competitor to Admobile given any sane buisness move for Admobile would be to target all handsets except the Jesus line."""
Given that Admob is currently the largest advertiser on the iPhone platform, it's hard to see how anyone could think that they don't compete. In fact seems reasonable that iAd as a direct attack on Google, assuming they manage to buy Admob, since iAd's features should make it the obvious / preferred choice for Apple mobile advertising, which will significantly cut down on Admob's profits and market share.
And it probably borders on corporate negligence to intentionally ignore the most popular platform for your product.
So is this...
...what Jobs and Schmidt were talking about? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/03/27/steve_jobs_and_eric_schmidt/
Oh how cute...
Would be amusing if Google's only real competition came from a company that has locked its customers into a platform that it controls with an iron fist. Basically it sounds to me like Google are saying "look - if Apple can mount some competition by piggy-backing off a monopolistic computing platform then other companies can do it too!"...
I was looking for a post icon that shows Google and Apple's marriage, in fact a Google-Love and Google-Hate set of icons is long overdue!
I don't get it.
The monopolies thing is all bollocks anyway. Just because Google are huge doesn't mean they're the only people who can serve ads.
Please investigate the concept of "barrier to entry."
regulatory attention? Not likly
"Apple would never prevent AdMob-embedded applications - that would invite regulatory attention...."
You have to be kidding. Apple could not get "regulatory attention" in a million years. The fact that it's software policies for the iPhone & iPad are, and have been since inception, in clear violation of US Anti-Trust Law and it's not gotten any "regulatory attention" make that clear.

Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova (Russian: Валенти́на Влади́мировна Терешко́ва; born 6 March 1937) is a retired Soviet cosmonaut and the first woman to have flown in space, having been selected from more than four hundred applicants and five finalists to pilot Vostok 6 on 16 June 1963.
Before being recruited as a cosmonaut, Tereshkova was a textile factory assembly worker and an amateur parachutist. After the dissolution of the first group of female cosmonauts in 1969, she became a prominent member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, holding various political offices. She remained politically active following the collapse of the Soviet Union and is still revered as a heroine in post-Soviet Russia.
After her flight, she studied at the Zhukovsky Air Force Academy and graduated with distinction as a cosmonaut engineer. In 1977 she earned a doctorate in engineering. Due to her prominence she was chosen for several political positions: from 1966 to 1974 she was a member of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, from 1974 to 1989 a member of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, and from 1969 to 1991 she was in the Central Committee of the Communist Party.
Valentina Tereshkova later became a prominent member of the Soviet government and a well known representative abroad. She was made a member of the World Peace Council in 1966, a member of the Yaroslavl Soviet in 1967, a member of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union in 1966–1970 and 1970–1974, and was elected to the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet in 1974. She was also the Soviet representative to the UN Conference for the International Women's Year in Mexico City in 1975. She also led the Soviet delegation to the World Conference on Women in Copenhagen and played a critical role in shaping the socialist women's global agenda for peace.
She attained the rank of deputy to the Supreme Soviet, membership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Central Committee, Vice President of the International Woman's Democratic Federation and President of the Soviet-Algerian Friendship Society.
She was decorated with the Hero of the Soviet Union medal, the USSR's highest award. She was also awarded the Order of Lenin, Order of the October Revolution, numerous other medals, and foreign orders including the Karl Marx Order, United Nations Gold Medal of Peace and the Simba International Women's Movement Award. She was also bestowed a title of the Hero of Socialist Labor of Czechoslovakia, Hero of Labor of Vietnam, and Hero of Mongolia. In 1990 she received an honorary doctorate from the University of Edinburgh. Tereshkova crater on the far side of the Moon was named after her.
Valentina Tereshkova became the first and still remains to be the only female general officer in both Soviet and Russian armed forces.

Actor Bobby Steggert grew up around great food.
"My mom always used natural ingredients (when she cooked)," said Steggert. "She taught us the basics."
Steggert is currently starring in "Big Fish," now in a world premiere pre-Broadway engagement at Chicago's Oriental Theatre. The show runs through May 5. FYI: (800) 775-2000 or visit BroadwayInChicago.com
Steggert also favors fresh, natural ingredients, and regularly shops for produce and quality foods when he's home in New York.
"I love going to Farmers Markets. My favorite thing is to roast vegetables. I love simple, straight-forward dishes," he said.
Grass-fed beef, butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and other veggies are among favorites.
When Steggert goes out to eat, he looks for restaurants with good meat or seafood preparations. And he's currently a fan of the new book "Sugar, Salt, Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us" by Michael Moss. The actor said it's a fascinating look at how the big food companies are in a sense sabotaging the public's health with their products.
As a performer, Steggert said he watches his diet and realizes how what he eats also affects his energy level. Entertaining with food, Steggert said, is something he always enjoys doing.
"I like to invite people over and have a pot luck," he said, adding even gathering over a bottle of wine, cheese from the local deli, and bread from the bakery, makes a great meal.
The following recipe is from Steggert.
2 large red peppers
1 jalapeño pepper
3 cloves of garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup diced French or sourdough bread
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
DIRECTIONS: Roast peppers and jalapeño directly on gas top stove or in broiler until charred on all sides. Roast garlic cloves with a few drops of olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast in broiler. When fully blackened, place vegetables in a large bowl and cover with cling wrap. Let cool for a few minutes. Remove all skins from peppers and jalapeño. Cut and remove all seeds. Place in food processor along with roasted garlic. Cut bread into small crouton-sized cubes and soak in the chicken or vegetable stock. Place in food processor once bread has totally absorbed the stock. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Puree in food processor and serve immediately or chill for later. Great with bread, crackers, crudités or on sandwiches, and much less fattening than mayo or hummus.

MONDAY, Dec. 16 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Monday that it wants makers of antibacterial hand soaps and body washes to prove their products are safe for long-term daily use and more effective than regular soaps in preventing illness and the spread of certain infections.
Unless companies can do that, they would have to reformulate or re-label these products if they want to keep them on the market, the agency said.
"Millions of Americans use antibacterial soaps and body washes," Dr. Sandra Kweder, deputy director of the FDA's Office of New Drugs, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said during a morning press briefing.
"They are used every day at home, at work, at schools and in other public settings where the risk of bacterial infection is relatively low," she said. "We at the FDA believe there should be clearly demonstrated benefits from using antibacterial soaps to balance any potential risk."
Kweder said the FDA has not been provided with data that shows these products are "any more effective at preventing people from getting sick than washing with plain soap and water."
The agency's proposed rule would require makers of these products to justify their health claims with firm evidence of their benefit, she said.
"Manufacturers would be required to conduct clinical trials that demonstrate that their products are more effective than plain soap and water in preventing illness or the spread of certain infections," Kweder said.
"Manufacturers would also be required to provide additional safety data for these products before they can be considered generally recognized as safe for use," she added.
There's some data that long-term exposure to certain ingredients used in these products, such as triclosan (liquid soaps) and triclocarban (bar soaps), could promote bacterial resistance or have effects on hormones. These hormones include estrogen, testosterone and thyroid hormones, Kweder explained.
She said that "reformulating would mean that companies would have to remove the antibacterial active ingredient, and relabeling would mean removal of the antibacterial claim from the product's label," she said.
The proposed rule does not require that these soaps be taken off the market now. The agency has been considering the issue since 2005 and this is not something that is going to happen immediately, Kweder said. She added that the agency hopes to issue its final rule by September 2016.
In the meantime, people should continue to be diligent about washing their hands, particularly at this time of year to help protect against the spread of colds and flu. If soap and water aren't available, an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol should be used, the FDA said.
Several doctors said they were heartened by the FDA's proposal.
"There is no link between antibacterial products and a decline in infection rates," said Dr. Luz Fonacier, head of the allergy section at Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola, N.Y. "Simply washing thoroughly with plain soap is sufficient to reduce bacteria and is effective against viruses.
"However, there are risks and disadvantages on the use of antibacterial products, including soaps and body wash, such as the possibility of development of antibiotic resistance," she added.
Dr. Leonardo Trasande, an associate professor with the Departments of Population Health, Environmental Medicine and Pediatrics at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, said: "Given our emerging understanding of chemicals as hormone disruptors, this is a remarkable and positive step toward protecting children. Given suggestive evidence associating triclosan exposure with allergies and concerns about promoting antibiotic resistance, there is little justification for widespread use of triclosan when soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizers are available."

Poster presented at the LCDP Luminary Class, June 2012. In 2009, Stanford began an effort to scan its maps. Scanning large format items such as maps create a multitude of challenges. One of these challenges is to capture the map with specifications that meet all known repurposing needs. A prominent repurposing need is to ensure that the map can be consumed in a Geographic Information System (GIS). A team of Stanford University Library staff consisting of Patricia Carbajales, G. Salim Mohammed, Matt Pearson and Renzo Sanchez-Silva (noted here in alpha order) along with student assistants, conducted a detailed study of a Russian Topographic scanned map where details were visually inspected and checked for scanning errors.
Poster presented at the LCDP Luminary Class, June 2012. How have research libraries chronicled the lives of African American students on campus? What are the subject headings and finding aids for student organizations, dissertations, sororities and fraternities, or oral histories? What factors (procedure, personnel, Alumni groups) have impacted the inclusion of materials in library collections?
Poster presented at the LCDP Luminary Class, June 2012. Like many other academic libraries, East Asian libraries face tough financial decisions on how they allocate their resources in this time of financial restraints, while fulfilling the library's ultimate mission of supporting teaching and researching. This study was conducted in light of escalating cost of electronic resources in East Asian languages. By analyzing 5-year (2007–2011) statistical data obtained from 32 East Asian libraries in North America, this study explores what portion of a library's total materials expenditures are dedicated to eresources and how fast its e-resources expenditures have been growing over the past five years.
Poster presented at the LCDP Luminary Class, June 2012. The decisions that academic libraries and special collections make today, in a context of rapid technologicaland other change, will shape the research of historians of the future. Certain types of primary sources of special interest to historians of science and technology—including scientific texts, journal literature, archival documents of research institutions, and manuscript papers of scientists and engineers—are often stewarded by academic libraries, with particular responsibility assumed by science- and technology-focused institutions. Recent trends in collection development and management will have major implications for tomorrow's scholars. What does it mean for both current and future historians of science and technology that more and more sources are full-text searchable online, and that more and more print sources are stored off-site? Will scholars be affected by libraries licensing rather than owning digital content? Will today's born-digital counterparts to yesterday's paper publications, documents, and images be accessible? Are research libraries and special collections currently capturing and preserving the same kinds of primary sources that historians of science and technology have relied on, and are there other kinds of sources we should be preserving?
Poster presented at the LCDP Luminary Class, June 2012.
Poster presented at the LCDP Luminary Class, June 2012. How do university faculty members in the music department use the library's online catalog (OPAC) to find music materials for themselves or for their students? Interviews, done in February 2012, of four performance faculty members from the University of Maryland School of Music reveal the wide range of materials they search for, and the limitations of the system in being able to find like items in different formats. Faculty members' assumptions of the capabilities of a search provide insight into possibilities for how OPACs can be re-designed or re-configured for more accurate hits and better discovery of similar items.
Poster presented at the LCDP Luminary Class, June 2012. With rapidly changing technology, more and more libraries are building digital collections and shifting focus to online discovery environment. More and more resources are published in electronic format, which leaves libraries with less and less physical material to catalog and process. Cataloging practice is experiencing big changes as we respond to the new trends of digitization, multiple metadata standards, outsourcing, batch processing, next-generation catalogs, and new standards and concepts for information organization. This research intends to explore new trends and future outlooks and plans in the cataloging practice of libraries of all kinds.

I cannot believe that the day has come and gone. So many great memories, so many things I wish I did and didn't get the chance to! It was a wonderful day and we got to see so much love and support from all of our family and friends. Nothing else beats that!
Thank you everyone!
A Letter to my Father
Dear BaBa,
The day in which a daughter leaves her home has finally come. In olden times, this would mean becoming a part of another family, and leaving my own behind. In modern times, this means the joining of another family, immediately making our very small family, a big and welcoming one.
Unfortunately, you aren't going to be here to experience how big our family has gotten. Growing up as a hardworking and independent man, I know you have never been able to feel the love and energy a big family can provide. You would have loved it and you can rest assure that you have left us with the ultimate gift - the love we have for one another that bonds us all together and helps us continue to grow.
You never made it to my 10th birthday and you've missed many significant events in my life. You've never attended a single one of my graduations, milestones, birthday outings, and now, my wedding… But I know you would have done so if you could. I remember how proud you were of my brother at his Grade 8 graduation… You came out to it even though you were so sick and frail. I remember the big smile on your face and how brightly you were shining and I imagine that you would be just as proud at my own graduation. When I was young, I was angry that you never made it to my grade 8 graduation. I never thought it was fair that you could go to my brothers and not mine, but somehow, through all my teen angst and emotions, I understood that you were never truly gone.
My memories of our house was what kept me attached to you through all these years. I remember every detail of how things were when you were still around. Your favourite spot to sit, the places you put all your belongings… I never wanted to leave because I knew that in your will, you had left it to us and I never wanted anything you left us to disappear.
There were times along the way I would always ask why our family had to go through your loss. I just never understood why you were taken from us when we were all so young, so immature, so naive. Looking back, I have to admit there were also times that I knew you weren't really gone. As much as I fear the unknown about the afterlife, I knew that deep down, you were always present to guide us, support us, and help us make the right decisions. That hunch, sixth sense, push, or intuition I felt… I knew it was you. You never left us while we were still so young. Despite all that we've been through, you left us with a life insurance that took care of our basic needs - all we needed to survive while we couldn't work and while mom adjusted. You left us with shelter over our heads, a mother to take care of us, and each other to provide a strong loving family that I thought we would never have.
You also left us with the restaurant when you passed away. The restaurant, in it's prime location, has given us more than I thought possible. With this restuarant, we were able to create a future for ourselves by getting a loan to build up our education, by funding the means to take care of ourselves, and by paying off our expenses. This enormous loan was something I thought we would never be able to pay off. After selling our home, we were able to pay off this magnificent amount and still purchase a small humble home. I never realized that this would ever be possible, that the house (you) would be paying off our debts. Thank you for taking care of us even after you were gone. Your dream of providing us with a better future came true and I can truly say that I have more than I ever hoped for in this life - a great eduation, a secure job, a loving family, and a future-partner-in-crime by my side.
I knew deep down that you were always there with me, but as I grew older, I felt your presence - that intuition, that sixth sense - less and less. You did all a father could do and more and maybe it was time you left the rest to us. When I met Albert, I knew you were no longer there… And I felt it. I'd like to think that this release was because you knew I had found someone who would replace your guidance and support for me, who would love me unconditionally and take care of me for the remainder of my life. I trust you, Baba, and I know you're right. He's a great guy and I know I have someone who will be the very best for me. Thank you for being there up until this point in my life. I hope in another lifetime, we will cross paths again.
Because of you I am stronger, because of you I work harder, because of you I don't give up as easily, Baba, because of you… I am who I am today. Thank you for everything. I really wish you could be there for me on my wedding day, but I know that you have done more than you ever could. Your presence will not be missed and we are who we are today because you loved us. You made us who we are today so thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope we've made you proud.
I will love you always,
Your loving daughter,
34 days
Wedding Planning Basics: 10 Biggest Wedding Planning Blunders to Avoid
The top ten wedding planning mistakes and how to avoid them.
The Extras
Now that the big things are dealt with, I'm thinking about the small things. How important is it to:
A: Whiten your teeth
B: Laser eye surgery (yeah, I'm considering this as a small thing!?)
C: Facial treatment: Chemical peels, Microdermabrasion, etc.
D: Hair extensions
E: Tanning services to bronze uppp
F: Nail appointments and other beauty appointments (like my already booked mink eye-lashes!)
G: Get fit!?
I'm still going through this list and deciding what to book and what not to do… So much thought goes into this darn day! Does it matter in the end!?
Time for bed, beauty sleep awaits!
Debby & Albert - Honeymoon!
We've chosen our honeymoon destination! Check it out!
Just some reflecting…
I've been having a couple of conversations with a few people lately about having your own identity while in a relationship.
Some people who've lived their entire life doing their own thing feel smothered when they start dating/getting serious in a relationship… So they want to back off, let go, return back to the life they've always loved and known or create some space with their partner… and this got me thinking…
Albert and I do everything together! I admit there were times in the beginning I would feel my own identity was drifting away… and for awhile I wasn't quite fond of that, but I've come to realize that in it's place, a new identity was formed. One that builds a life that intertwines Albert's identity with mine… and to be honest? I LOVE IT!! It's so much fun to have someone to poke fun of, bounce ideas off of, argue with, agree with, support, etc etc. Our new identity has become so strong that when we do our own thing… I feel almost… like… incomplete (Gosh that was cheesy).
I do also agree that it's important to have your own interests as well, so that there are always new things to share with each other, but I do have to say… Being with Albert all the time, doesn't bother me one bit! (he better be thinking the same!!!)
He takes my weird and crazy, and I take his cynic and skepticism. We've come a long way, but we have accepted each other and that thought alone makes me so happy! Can't wait for those 94 days to go by!

First of all, the packaging and display was absolutely adorable. Who can resist these little guys with all the bright colors, right?
Well, I bought the shade "Candy Coral," one of the brighter shades of the bunch since I'm a sucker for coral. The texture is definitely interesting (like a play-doh type feeling), so props to you, Maybelline! However, there is literally no pigmentation. I can literally claw at the dang thing and it would barely show up on my skin. I might as well just hang it on my wall since all it does it look pretty.
This product, overall, is disappointing. I say, if you're new to makeup or if you're scared of putting too much product on your face, this product is right for you. However, by the time enough product is on your face for it to show up, you'll probably have to buy a new one. HOW SAD
More reviews by CaptainxCasper
I bought this after my covergirl blush made me broke out. I actually bought this simply because Bed and Bath was closing soon, and I thought the packaging was super cute. It was kind of pricey for a drug store product, and for being so small. When you first open it, the product is definitely bouncy. It's kind of cold, too, it sort of feels like lightly touching clay. I got it in peach stain, and although I have very fair skin it doesn't look very dark. It looks natural, and it feels like it's barely there. Overall, I love this blush. It feels good on my skin and it doesn't look like I overdid the blush, no matter how much I put on.
I really like this blush. It's so light it feels like I'm not wearing anything at all.
I bought this because I wanted to test out a cream blush and I noticed that this was a mixture. It's safe to say that I fell in love! It's compact, easy to apply, adorable shades, fun to play with :P, and doesn't look to overdone. I wish it came in a larger package though. Only because I want more and I don't want to have to buy more so soon lol. Overall I. Love. It.
This product has a really odd texture. It's spongy and does sort of bounce back if you press it, but you can leave an impression. The colors are all quite sheer, and I like that you can put this exactly where you want it. However, the consistency is a bit thick so it's hard to get much on at once, and it is a bit hard to blend.
I actually bought this product when it first came out. Since I've always been satisfied with Maybelline products and never bought any kind of cream blush before, I thought this was a great opportunity to try it out and see if I would like it.
First off, for something that is tiny it was not cheap, I can tell you that haha. I believe this product was around six to eight dollars when I purchased it.What I do like about it though is the packaging. It was simple, yet cute and tiny. I ESPECIALLY love touching it, mainly because it was squishy and fun to play with. But after trying to dab it with a makeup brush, it just looked weird and gross. Because of the creamy texture, I did like how soft my cheeks felt after using it and it did go on smoothly on my skin. I didn't feel like it lasted very long on my cheeks though.
Overall, I don't think I would waste my money and buy this product again. It was more like a "one time thing".
This is very nice. Its a little bit pricey for just a little tiny thing. It has very cute colours, and it goes on nice and smooth.
My favourite part about this blush is how actually bouncy and cool it feels when you touch it.
I don't know for sure if I would re-purchase this, as I think I just personally like powdered blush better than cream ones.
Pros: cute colours
goes on easy
doesn't smell bad
Cons: small packaging
a little pricey
This is my faveorite drugstore cream blush! My favorite is in Orchid Hush. The product is just as it claims- it is bouncy! When you first get it, press your finger on it lightly and it will go right back to it's original state! Press on it lightly, I emphasize!
But to the actual quality... it is easy to blend, creamy, and you can build up to your desired shade. It comes in lovely colors, the texture is great, they look natural....I freaking love these<3
Alright, ladies. What more could you possibly want from a blush? This product it easy to blend, fantastic coverage and long lasting. I'm in love. I was looking for a blush that would last all day, and I found it. But here's what you need to know: to apply this correctly you need a cosmetic sponge! Dip the sponge into the makeup, smile, and dab it onto the apples of your cheeks. Wa-la! You'll get a natural glow. But here's the catch, if you want it to last all day, put a powder over it! Easy breezy beautiful! Oops, not covergirl... (I purchased "satin peach" shade 20)
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I felt like I should write a review because there are so many negative ones, and I had the opposite experience. I used to buy the dream mousse blush, but saw they it was discontinued it on here. Other people have said that the pigment was bad etc. I had the exact opposite experience. I out it on around 8 am, and it is now almost 8 pm and it is on perfect. For me, it had more pigmentation than the other kind. Give it a try. You can always return it.

She was shopping, I was selling. But I can spot a New Yorker from a mile away.
After calling Manhattan home for 10 years, I have a knack for it and I tend to gravitate toward them. We starting chatting, and before long she felt like an old friend. We exchanged cards and I instantly knew she'd be my next "I asked For It" home kitchen visit.

The Miami Heat concluded Summer League competition last night with an 89-91 loss to the Phoenix Suns.
It was a surprise the Heat, the only team to compete in both Orlando and Las Vegas, even got that far. And some players on its summer league roster were impressive during the run.
Of the Heat's offseason moves, Chris Andersen was resigned and Mike Miller was amnestied. It also seems that if the team gets its way, it will sign either Marcus Camby or Greg Oden.
But Pat Riley would also like to add a wing player to replace Miller. The Heat participated in both summer leagues for a reason and would likely like to keep on or two players from its summer team and bury them in its new D-League partner the Sioux Falls Skyforce.
Of those players, James Ennis, for whom the team traded into the NBA Draft to select, D.J. Kennedy, Ian Clark and James Nunnally are the lead candidates to land a roster spot in Miami.
We wrote a piece of Ennis already. You can read it here.
From a position stand-point, Ennis is the best of the bunch to replace Miller. At 6-7, 200 pounds, he is a capable three-point shooter and more athletic than Miller. Like Mike, he can play the two and three.
If the team is looking to simply gain back Miller's three-point ability, Ian Clark is the obvious candidate. He lit it up during Orlando Summer League play.
Alex Monseth wrote a piece on Clark that you can read here.
But Clark (6-3, 175 pounds) is signed with Golden State trough Las Vegas play and it might be difficult for the Heat to get him back.
If Clark doesn't work out, the Heat can go with either D.J. Kennedy (6-6, 215 pounds) or James Nunnally (6-7, 205 pounds).
Both guards are good scorers on the summer league level and can score in bunches. They found some rhythm in summer league coach Dan Craig's offense. While both play guard, they each have the frame to develop into a small forward.
The Heat has 13 of 15 roster spots filled. Ennis technically is on the roster, but that is far from secure. So the team has two spots it can use to add young talent.
We can assume the team want's to use one of the two openings on a center — Camby or Oden.
Then it comes down to if the Heat value one of its summer leaguers more than a proven commodity on the market.
My guess? The Heat keeps Ennis' draft rights and sends him to play in Europe so he wouldn't take up a roster spot; and the Heat sign a center and an experienced wing player.

New Cal Bears head coach Sonny Dykes surprised many when he decided to hand true freshman Jared Goff the reins of the offense over redshirt freshman Zach Kline, who has already been with the team for a year.
However, with a new era now underway, it does make sense to go with Goff. The freshman has great size at 6'4", 220 pounds, outstanding accuracy, and good pocket presence. He is one of the more underrated quarterback prospects in the 2013 class, and he possesses one of the most valuable traits for a young signal-career: a quick release.
This will especially come in handy in Dykes' high-powered offense. Last season, while Dykes was at Louisiana Tech, the Bulldogs averaged nearly 45 pass attempts and 350 yards per game through the air. This indicates a heavy workload for Goff in his first season under center, and his accuracy and quick release will be extremely valuable.
So, what can we expect from Goff in 2013?
Well, certain factors are out of his control. Two of the team's first three games are against ranked teams, the first coming against Northwestern and the third against an outstanding Ohio State team. We will learn a lot about Goff's intangibles, such as poise and leadership, during these first three matchups.
The schedule does not really let up either, as Cal travels to Oregon for their next game. However, a bigger concern than the schedule may be the Bears' offensive line. The front wall was helpless in pass protection last year, allowing 40 sacks in 2012.
Pass protection is key for any quarterback to succeed, but it is particularly essential for a true freshman who is trying to get his bearings at the college level. The Cal offensive line needs to improve if Goff wants to get settled in quickly.
With all that being said, it is pretty clear that Goff possesses the talent to make the Bears' offense into something special. The loss of Keenan Allen at receiver hurts, but he has a young stable of promising receivers returning including Bryce Treggs and Chris Harper.
Let us not forget that Cal's passing offense averaged barely over 200 yards per game last year, good enough for ninth in the Pac-12 and 89th nationally. Therefore, I think it is safe to say that any change at quarterback is welcome in Berkeley, especially when it is a freshman as promising as Goff.
Overall, Goff has the arm, accuracy, and quick release to make the many quick throws that Dykes' offense will require of him. It doesn't seem like too much of a stretch to think that Goff could eclipse 3,000 yards passing and turn the Bears' aerial attack into one of the Pac-12's better ones in 2013.

Are there any programs in place that reward or pay for quality?
Does financing support approaches to care that further the six aims set fourth in the Quality Chasm report—for example, group visits and non–visit-based care—and thus may better meet patient needs?
Has a business model been articulated that would make it possible for existing revenue streams to support the program in other settings and/or could serve as a model for reforming payment streams?
Has the community incorporated performance and outcome measures for improvement and accountability?
Has measurement of some elements been demonstrated consistent with the six aims of the Quality Chasm.
Consumer engagement
Have all the necessary stakeholders been identified?
Have multistakeholder coalitions been formed, and are they functioning?
Will stakeholders in the community think the changes made will significantly help them (perceived benefit of the change)?
Is there strong senior leadership that supports this initiative and considers it a priority?
The following additional screening criteria were applied:
Willingness/ability to provide evidence for the efficacy of efforts to address key barriers
Ability to demonstrate an evaluation component—commitment to measurement and accountability
Stated willingness/commitment to take lessons back from the summit
Identification of at least two primary stakeholders who would be represented at the summit and are actively engaged in the program
Inclusion of an assessment/communication strategy in the work plan
Are the changes relatively simple?
Can they be successfully piloted?
How can others watch and learn?
Geographic diversity among represented communities
Approximately 90 communities from across the country were identified as possible summit participants by committee members and a diverse set of organizations. From this initial pool, 45 communities were further screened, from which 15 were selected for the summit.
The IOM committee's criteria specified that efforts must be focused on at least one of the five targeted priority areas and that stakeholders involved must include either a payer (e.g., health plan) or purchaser (public or private)—given their influence in shaping health care markets—and at least two of the following: hospital or health system, outpatient provider, consumer-based organization, and government.

usb headset mic problem
Hi all.. I have no idea what's wrong here.
I recently bought a soundblaster tactic 3d alpha headset, and it came with a USB adapter.
the headset itself works well when i use it to listen to something, but the mic volume is very low. it is set to the default as well.
in the sound settings, when i have the mic put into the USB, it shows no slide for a mic boost at all. there is only a mic volume setting. same with the settings in the control panel that came with drivers. I have installed all drivers and updated them.
I found that when i unplug the mic from the USB adapter and plug it directly into my soundcard, im able to get a good volume but only through the mic boost in the options.
can anyone help me to resolve this issue? i'll plug the mic directly into the soundcard if i have to, but i'd rather leave it in the USB adapter.

You have two different functions (devices). When you plug it in using USB it is digital only and controlled by the Creative software and what it will let you do. When you plug it into the sound card, it's analog and then controlled by the PC's sound card and it's functions.
Have you checked the Creative site for any drivers or updated drivers?

University of Virginia Chapel
Building Description
The University Chapel, adjacent to the Rotunda, offers a beautiful location for weddings and other events, or just a quiet place to sit for students.
Thomas Jefferson�s plans to not have a University run by a sect of a Church were taken too far, some felt, by not initially building a chapel on campus. This was remedied in 1899, when the chapel was officially opened after his death.
While religious ceremonies do not take place in the chapel in deference to Thomas Jefferson�s plans for the University, it is available for weddings and other important life events for both University students & alumni and others, although students and alumni realize a considerable savings when booking the chapel. Sometimes as many as six weddings take place here on a busy Spring Saturday.
The architecture used in the building is Gothic Revival, a bit of a contrast to the Jeffersonian architecture used throughout the rest of the University buildings. An almond-shaped stained glass window by Tiffany Studios is just one of the architectural marvels of this building. A Skinner pipe organ, similar to the one in Old Cabell Hall, is one of the other priceless features of this chapel.
There are no plans for renovations or restorations of the chapel, currently.
