In a Quiet Market for PCs, Chromebooks are Marching Steadily Forward
It's no secret that Chrome OS has not been the same striking success for Google that the Android OS has been. And yet, Chromebooks--portable computers running the platform--have not only found their niche, but they are also introducing a new generation to cloud computing. Chromebooks are firmly entrenched in the education market, where many young users have become used to the convention of storing apps and data in the cloud. Now, according to new research from Gartner, Chromebooks are ready to hit new milestones. Analysts there report that Chromebook shipment growth will be in the double digits this year. At the same time, though, Chromebooks have not become fixtures in the enterprise, replacing Windows PCs.

Today I came across a video for a multi-touch, large screen user interface prototype, designed by a company called "Second Story" in Portland, Oregon. I am excited about the direction this will go. I see a lot of potential in this category of UI design. However, I don't have enough experience to be able to predict where this will take the industry.
So, I put it to you...How will multi-touch UI design impact the future of User Experience? Is there anything you can imagine that the user will be able to do that they can't do now?

MARLIN (February 27, 2013)--Several students from Marlin High School became Certified Nursing Assistants this month after the school began offering a nursing assistant program for the first time this year.
Nakea Hernandez earned her nursing assistant certificate this week and is already working as a CNA at the Falls County Community Hospital.
"I heard about it last year before summer and I signed up for it," Hernandez said.
Marlin High School has a vocational school that offers many certificates including cosmetology, welding and automotive repair.
"We know everybody not going to go to a four-year college and even if they do, this is providing some job earning capability that'll help them finance their education," said Rockney Terry, career and technology director at Marlin High School.
Terry said that about 90 percent of students at Marlin High School take at least one vocational class.
He said the decision to add the nursing assistant program was easy because there is a growing need for trained professionals in the medical field.
"This is something we knew if we could get it kicked off we'd be very successful," Terry said.
It costs the school district about $400 to put a student through the program.

I was under the impression that the UPS could be two way. That is, I could make the 'name' field editable and if a user updates it, that change gets written back to AD, and if the name is changed in AD, that gets synced back to their profile.
However form the user profile properties page it seems that you can only export or import, not both. Is this the case?

My name is Jeanne Russo and I am running for a seat on the Berkley Board of Assessors. My husband Rennie and I live at 53 Bay View Ave. We have lived in Berkley since 1986. Together we raised three children, Rennie III, Dara and Lauren, and we now have five wonderful grandchildren.
I started my career working mothers' hours as a clerk in the Berkley assessors office and eventually became a member of the board after being elected in 1990. When my children started their college years, I needed to work full-time. I left Berkley and I went to work for the town of West Bridgewater as its assistant assessor.
While in West Bridgewater, I won a state wide "public information" award from the Massachusetts Association of Assessing Officers. I was also recognized in the monthly column, "Mass Innovations" from The Beacon, a Massachusetts Municipal Association publication.
I created a manual for residents, containing zoning, contacts at town hall, information about schools, recent sales, tax rates, recap sheet.
The reason I am running for a seat on the Board of Assessors is because I believe Berkley residents need a strong individual to represent them on the board. My goal is to act in a fiscally responsible and fair manner. There are no "cheap seats" in town government.
I believe board members should share the responsibilities and workload. I also believe in a level playing field for all residents. I hope to work with the financial team and, as an assessor, I will work to protect and to forecast revenue to our Finance Committee. I have the qualifications to be your assessor. I have completed, as mandated by the state, Course 101: Assessment Tax Law and Course 200 Assessing Principle, Procedures and Administration.
I love Berkley and I am now retired and ready to pay back for the start of my career in town hall. I am community minded and I am currently an alternate on the Zoning Board of Appeals, former chair of the Berkley Cultural Council, secretary of the Berkley Historical Society, and a volunteer secretary of the Council on Aging.
I would appreciate your vote on May 10.
Jeanne Russo
Candidate for Berkley Board of Assessors

text: It's the weekend which means lots of us will be doing something whether it's in our own house, the house of others, or somewhere in friends. That something includes going to a weekend game, hanging around your house, or just staying home for pizza. Here is "how to draw a pizza for kids", step by step. This simple piece of food is something that we have all had in some way, and has either fell in love with them, or not care for pizza at all. I had fun with this tutorial because the night before I actually made a pizza loaded with goodies. I hope you find a use to drawing a pizza for kids, and if you don't at least you would have done something easy and fun.

I am a 57 year old black female trying to complete a Ph.D in Public Policy and Administration. I am in my last year and having trouble finding funds because of these tough economic times. Do you know anyone who can help me? It is such a waste of time and money to get this far and not be able to finish. Thank you.
Hello I am part of a concerned Grandmothers group in rural Southern Oregon. Our small schools are faced with difficult times, we have a traveling Science class room made from a 32' bus. This mobile science and nature center provides hands-on activities that opens the joy of learning science and nature study. This bus bridges a huge gap that might not otherwise be available to these small rural schools. It is facilitated by a dedicated staff of early child-hood education specialists experienced in regional natural science. We call our bus The Caterpillar. At this time The much needed Caterpillar sits idle, do to lack of funds. We are in clear need of a grant to operate this school year. Can anyone please direct me. Thank you

I am all in favor of continuing technology education. However, am I missing something here? In a time where I believe society needs the arts desparately to stimulate thinking, conversation and growth, why are there no opportunities for grants etc... in the arts.

- abstract
Preference for control affects investment behavior. Participants of laboratory experiments invest different amount of money in a risky asset when face with two different methods of control which have identical payoff structure and probability distribution, but provide different sense of control. Preference for controlling and not controlling are both observed. Participants increase their investment when their preferred method of control is used. Participants who prefer to control more reduce their investment more strongly when face with less control. Preference for control has larger effect on investment behavior when participants are induced to have a comparative mindset rather than non-comparative mindset.

When/why does SPUtility.ResolvePrincipal return a non-null SPPrincipalInfo with a PrincipalId of -1 ? I can manually assign rights to the user through the web interface. The user resides in an active directory. If I request a non existing user null is being returned as expected. The same logic works for a lot of other users.
SPPrincipalInfo principalInfo = SPUtility.ResolvePrincipal(currentWeb, objectPrincipal, SPPrincipalType.All, SPPrincipalSource.All, null, false);
if (principalInfo == null)
result[i][j] = "Can not determine principalInfo for name: " + objectPrincipal;
if (principalInfo.PrincipalId <= 0)
result[i][j] = "Got invalid PrincipalId: " + principalInfo.PrincipalId + " in principalInfo for name: " + objectPrincipal;
My log output:
Setting rights failed for user: DOMAIN\usr1 error: Got invalid PrincipalId: -1 in principalInfo for name: DOMAIN\usr1
Any ideas?

Suppose $G({\mathbb Z})$ is a higher rank non-cocompact arithmetic group (e.g. $SL_n({\mathbb Z})$ with $n\geq 3$, or $Sp_{2g}({\mathbb Z})$ with $g\geq 2$). I have seen a result (http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0409345) which says that every finite index subgroup $\Gamma $ of $G({\mathbb Z})$ contains a smaller finite index subgroup generated by three elements.
Does anyone know ANY example of $G({\mathbb Z})$, where three can be replaced by two? I believe Alan Reid has some result in this direction.
[Edit] That 2 should suffice is a conjecture, attributed to Alex Lubotzky. That $3$ DO suffice for non-uniform higher rank lattices in the result mentioned in the link. What I am asking is just ONE example where 2 generators suffice.

An 11-year-old La Plata County boy was shot in the ear with an arrow Thursday while playing with bows and arrows with a friend.
The accident occurred about 9:40 a.m. in the 10000 block of U.S. Highway 550, south of Farmington Hill in the Juniper Heights subdivision, said Dan Bender, spokesman for the La Plata County Sheriff�s Office.
The boys started out playing medieval knights with wooden swords, he said. The game escalated to playing with a toy bow and a real arrow that has a metal tip and is used for target practice, he said.
The boys took turns using a garage can lid as a shield to deflect the arrow as the other shot it, Bender said.
The arrow missed the shield and pierced the boy�s upper ear, he said.
Medics with Durango Fire & Rescue Authority responded and clipped the arrow on both ends.
�It lodged in his ear, and they had to cut the top off to remove it,� Bender said. �It went into the exterior part of the ear and lodged into that.�
The boy�s mother drove him to Animas Surgical Center, where the remainder of the arrow was removed, Bender said.
The Sheriff�s Office investigated and determined the incident to be accidental, Bender said.

text: Here is another founding father that will be submitted and once this one is uploaded to the site, there is only two more other people that gave us United States citizens our independence. Here is "how to draw Alexander Hamilton", step by step. I'm pretty sure that all of the founding fathers new each other and where friends. Alexander Hamilton also worked along side George Washington as his chief of staff as well as one of the more important parties that promoted the Constitution. Hamilton also founded the financial system of the United States. This man also served in the Revolutionary War, became George Washington's confidant, and served under Washington in the Whiskey Rebellion which was a western farmers tax revolt back in 1794. Alexander Hamilton was also noted as being the very first United States Secretary of the Treasury. Drawing Alexander Hamilton should also be pretty simple to replicate if you follow the steps. Peace out people.

Small Ship Cruise, Zodiac Excursions, Hiking and Wildlife Viewing Adventure above the Arctic Circle
Join us on this small ship expedition over 600 miles above the Arctic Circle. Under the "Midnight Sun" we cruise, hike and explore this wonderland of rugged mountains and massive glaciers home to whales, seals, walrus, reindeer and polar bears!
Before embarking, there is time to stroll this former mining town Board ship this afternoon and set out for Kross Fjord. With more than 2,500 polar bears, Spitsbergen is the world's premier destination for seeing these fascinating animals in the wild.
With rugged peaks, sweeping tundra, sparkling icebergs and glaciers, Spitsbergen is a classic high arctic archipelago with the largest concentration of seabirds in the North Atlantic plus whales, walruses, seals, arctic fox, reindeer and polar bears. Zodiacs provide an exhilarating cruise along the sculpted ice-front of 14th of July Glacier. Sail to Ny Ålesund, the world's most northern settlement.
Cruising to the mouth of Liefde Fjord, go ashore on the island of Andøya. Near the 3-mile face of stunning Monaco Glacier, the waters are a favorite feeding ground for kittiwakes and polar bears often prowl here.
Today we reach our northernmost point on our cruise--Phippsoya, in the Seven Islands north of Nordaustlandet. Here we reach 81 degrees north, just 540 miles from the North Pole! Polar bears and ivory gulls are often seen in the pack ice of this area.
We hope to see a herd of walrus today near the big lagoon on Laagoya island. Walruses are aslo seen frequently at Sorg Fjord near the graves of 17th century whalers.
Today offers a good chance to spot seals, polar bears and the rare ivory gull. A Zodiac cruise through ice floes to the cliffs of Alkefjellet shows off thousands of guillemots nesting in a breathtaking setting. We explore the polar desert of Nordaustlandet next to the world's third largest ice cap.
We visit a trapper's hut and take a brisk walk across the tundra in search of Spitsbergen reindeer and Barnacle Geese. A zodiac cruise takes us to a beach littered with whale bones and tree trunks that have drifted here from Siberia.
We cruise the side fjords in southern Spitsbergen with peaks rising to more than 4,500 feet. We discover piles of Beluga skeletons, the remains of a 19th century slaughter. We have a good opportunity of encountering a pod of Belugas and to explore the tundra once again in search of reindeer. We return to Longyearbyen, disembark and transfer to the airport for our flight to Oslo.
The M/V Ortelius (capacity of 100 passengers) has the highest ice-class notation (UL1 equivalent to 1A). The M/V Antarctic Dream (capacity of 84 passengers) and M/V Plancius (capacity of 112) are SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) compliant vessels which perfectly meet the needs of our natural history adventures.
Keep up to date with all of The World Outdoors trips, events and news. All you need to do is provide us with a little information. We promise not to provide your information to anybody else.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Dedication to natural resources, both on and off the job, led to the recent selection of Kevin Lowrey as the Georgia Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) "Wildlife Manager of the Year" award.
"Kevin Lowrey goes above and beyond the aspects of his job and always gives 200 percent when it comes to teaching others about the outdoors," says Wes Dorsey of the NWTF. "He always shows exceptional enthusiasm, works diligently to improve wildlife habitat and is dedicated to raising public awareness about conservation and wildlife management issues."
Kevin Lowrey, a wildlife biologist and state turkey biologist for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) Wildlife Resources Division, is assigned to northeast Georgia but his work with turkeys often takes him statewide. Additionally, Lowrey oversees biological aspects of six wildlife management areas totaling 80,000 acres, serves on the Georgia NWTF Technical Committee and heads up the Georgia DNR Wild Turkey Committee.
Lowrey focuses on turkeys for much of his job, but that passion started while doing graduate research in college and now also is part of his personal life. He and his wife have been grassroots volunteers with the NWTF for years.

Powder Coating BasicsWritten by on August 29, 2007 Powdercoating Is More Durable Than Paint And Can Be Applied To Anything Made Of Metal. Here Are Some Tips And Tricks On What Powdercoating Is And How To Get Stuff Coated.
There are three basic ways to make a car and/or its parts look good: painting, plating, and powdercoating. Since we just finished our huge, 10-part series on how to paint your car last month, this month, we'll touch on what powdercoating is all about.
Powder Coating Explained
Why is it called powdercoating? To put it simply, the coating is originally applied as a thermosetting powder made up of polyester, epoxy, and acrylic resin combined with various crosslinking compounds. The powder is so fine that each grain looks like a piece of dust, and you can order powder in thousands of different colors and textures for very specific applications. The powder is usually either sprayed on the part or the part is passed through a booth filled with powder (used most often in mass-production powdercoating).
The powder is usually applied to the component by applying a low-voltage electrical charge to both the part and the plastic particles-but the charges are opposite, so the powder is attracted to the surface of the part. This way, the powder need only be sprayed in the general area of the part for it to evenly coat it. On intricate components, this can create some issues, but the better powdercoaters (such as Cooter's Powder Coating in Grand Blanc, Michigan, which we used for much of the information in this story) have methods to provide an even coating on complex surfaces.
After a part is sprayed, it is transferred to a large oven heated to between 350 and 400 degrees F. It is left there until it attains a temperature at which the powder "melts" and flows into a smooth, extremely durable coating. The heat also causes the powder to chemically react in a process called crosslinking, which is what makes it so durable.
The solvent emissions with powdercoating are also very low compared with spray painting, so powdercoating is more ecologically friendly. Also, powdercoating is much more resistant to solvents, blunt-object impacts, and other issues that would damage paint. Sounds good, right?
Prepping For Powder
As with painting a car, the application of the powder is the easy part; the real work is in the prep. Before coating, thoroughly disassemble the part to its basic level and then clean it of any paint, grease, rust, or other materials that would prevent good adhesion of the powdercoating to the parent material. This teardown should include materials that can't handle the heat of the oven, like rubber, tape, and plastic. This level of disassembly isn't much different from prepping for paint; it's just the extreme end of the prep spectrum. Usually, the best way to ensure a clean surface is to blast the part with sand or another medium.
Since the blasting material will get into everything, you must remove all threaded or lubricated interfaces, like bearings, sealed surfaces, bolts/nuts, clamps, and the like, as these will be crunchy junk after blasting. If you're blasting suspension parts, you'll have to replace stuff like A-arm bushings, as they are usually destroyed when you remove them, but that's the price you pay to look good for a long time. Another process sometimes used to clean parts is chemical stripping. Where blasting is good for parts that have intricate shapes, dipping is better for sheetmetal panels because blasting generates heat that can warp sheetmetal. A phosphate bath is recommended to prevent the sheetmetal from being continually attacked by the chemicals after the process is completed (leading to rusting of the very sheetmetal you are trying to protect). Immediately before powdercoating, the parts are wiped down with solvent and a lint-free rag and placed on a hanger to allow coating on every possible surface.
When looking for a powdercoating shop, it's best to rely on experience and specialization that fit your needs. For instance, Cooter's has developed its business to specialize in coating one-off-style hot-rod parts instead of high-volume pieces. With that in mind, the company has developed a series of special systems and processes, including an oversized oven that's equipped with almost 24 thermocouples to carefully control the heat being applied to everything from bolts to complete chassis. The oven is operated via an advanced, Cooter's-designed oven controller that is able to read part temperatures (the critical component in powdercoating) practically anywhere in the oven.
What's so cool about powdercoating? It is one of the best looking, most durable, ecologically responsible, and cost-effective methods of coating metal parts. As with most final steps, the details define the final look, so the parts being powdercoated will need to be completely disassembled, stripped, and then the color selected. But it'll all be worth it once you get the car assembled.
Do-It-Yourself Powder Coating
It is possible to do your own powdercoating at home using Eastwood's HotCoat Powder Coating systems. The HotCoat line includes everything from a kit with just an entry-level powder gun up to a fully equipped kit with a professional-level applicator gun, powder, surface-prep chemicals, protective plugs, and more. You'll need to supply an electric oven or toaster oven (but don't put food in it afterward) and a ventilator mask, but otherwise, you'll be ready to start coating. For more details, check out the Eastwood Web site (eastwood.com) and click on the HotCoat Powder Coating tab. Eastwood also has a good beginner-level video showing what it looks like to powdercoat a part like a valve cover. You can order via the Web site or call 800/343-9353.
Chassis Powder Coating Secrets
One of the more challenging yet rewarding powdercoating applications is a complete vehicle chassis. The powdercoater needs to be able to handle the oversized, heavy chassis during the surface prep, fixturing, powder application, and oven-curing steps, which not all shops can do. Cooter's Powder Coating has designed and built all of its systems to handle full chassis with the thought that if the company can handle these oversized components, it can handle anything.
Top 3 Powder Coating Prep Tips
1. Remove anything not intended to be powdercoated. Besides removing stuff you don't want coated, since powdercoating involves time in an oven near 400 degrees F, you'll want to remove anything plastic or rubber, bearings, plated components, or other temperature-sensitive pieces.
2. Account for the thickness of the powdercoating. When powdercoating a component that interfaces with another part, like a mounting bracket or suspension component, you need to take into account the additional thickness of the powdercoating. The thickness of powdercoating usually varies between 1 and 3 mils (about the thickness of a garbage bag), so make sure to add that into the clearances required.
3. Cover areas that shouldn't be coated. Make sure the powdercoater puts plugs in threaded holes, holes where fasteners pass through, and any other holes into which you don't want powdercoating to go. High-temperature tape is placed over larger areas that need to remain bare metal, like an engine-block cylinder-head mounting surface.
Types Of Powder Materials
Although there are several different powder formulations used by the powdercoating industry, three types of powder are predominantly used to coat automotive components.
Standard polyester: Standard polyester is an all-around powder for indoor and outdoor use and was one of the first formulated powders that coaters used for automotive applications-it is also the most economical powder to spray.
Enhanced polyester: This has better durability and film-appearance characteristics, applies a little smoother than standard polyester, and has a greater chemical-resistance level than standard polyester.
Super polyester: Super polyester is the cutting edge of powders available today. In automotive applications, it is very durable against impact and UV exposure and has a much higher chemical resistance (to things like paint-attacking brake fluid). Super is usually a requirement on components like wheels on production cars.
We'd suggest using enhanced or super, considering you're coating parts on your pride and joy-and the price and prep difference is mild compared with the properties of these two powders. All three powders can be ordered as low-cure (which means they flow out at around 400 degrees F) for use on temperature-sensitive automotive parts. As an added bonus, all powders are now ordered with an industry-standard numbering system called a "ral" number for the color. For example, ral 5008 = blue gray. This will make it much easier to shop for a powdercoater, as you'll be able to pick your color and get the ral number for it, along with the powder type (standard, enhanced, or super polyester) so you can easily compare the quality, timeliness, and price of coating among powdercoaters.
Sample Costs For Powder Coating
Note: Prices go up dramatically depending on the amount of prep work (blasting, sanding, and so on), coats of powder, type of powder used, and if a part has powdercoating on it that needs to be either burned off or chemically removed.

Powdercoating is one of the best ways to create a good-looking, durable coating on just about any part on your car.This is the beauty of powdercoating: a chassis part with multiple surfaces, some hidden, but everything evenly coated with deep, lustrous silver powdercoating. It would be very difficult to get paint into the many hidden, tight areas on this part, and it wouldn't have nearly the same durability as the powdercoating.The reason it's called powdercoating is because the coating is literally powdered plastic that is statically charged to stick to the part being coated. The part is then carefully loaded into an oven and the powder brought up to and held briefly at its melting point to flow out into a beautiful coating.The surface needs to be stripped to bare metal for the powdercoating to adhere firmly and evenly. On smaller parts, this means time in the bead-blaster. The key here is to remove all paint, rust, rubber, adhesive, and anything else that will prevent the powder from touching metal.The number of powdercoating colors and textures available is staggering. The best way to determine what you want is to look through color-chip books and view samples, if possible. Cooter's, like many powdercoating companies, offers custom color services at additional cost.One of the great advantages of powdercoating is that the powder can be evenly applied where you would have trouble painting-like the inside of the main crossmember on this Heidt's front subframe. The powder is simply sprayed into this area, and the static charge does the rest to evenly apply it. The wall of filters behind the operator has a massive fan behind it pulling air out of the room to keep the amount of powder floating in the air to a minimum, which is safer for the operators, since you don't want to breathe this stuff.Getting everything surgically clean is critical to minimizing the chance of fisheyes or other defects appearing in the final coating. Cooter's soaks nonlinting rags with wax, grease, and silicone remover and wipes down the bare metal parts just before preheating them for coating.Cooter's uses this machine to apply the powder to the parts. The company starts by loading a box filled with the appropriately colored and textured powder. A probe that feeds into the application gun is pushed down into the box. Then, a vibration mechanism located under the box is turned on to keep the powder moving toward the probe and a power cord is plugged in. The main controls are adjusted to set the static charge applied to the powder and the application rate through the powder gun.
This chassis has smooth, glossy powdercoating throughout its complex tubing, sheetmetal, and plating.Sheetmetal components are ideal for powdercoating but are susceptible to warping if you sandblast them, so chemical stripping is recommended.Cooter's preheats the chassis before applying the powdercoating material to ensure the powder will aggressively bond to the chassis metal. Everything is blurry because the oven is emitting 400-plus-degree air-you'd hurry too.When deciding on a powdercoater, take a look at its powder-application area-it should be surgically clean. Cooter's is constantly vacuuming and washing down its powder-application room to minimize the chances of powder debris being statically drawn to a part being coated. The company believes it0 makes a big difference in the quality of coating you end up with.Cooter's has pioneered an innovative method of applying powdercoating to rollcages by varying the static charge during the powder application as the spray gun approaches adjoined bars. This keeps the coating flowing into these tight areas and minimizes the chance of a chalky spot appearing due to not enough powder getting on these areas. The process requires two operators talking to each other as the gunner approaches a sensitive area so the controller can adjust the static charge for that area.Removing the existing coatings on a complete chassis or unibody requires a big sandblaster. In this case, we took this complete chassis to Del Duca Abrasive Blasting, in Grand Blanc, Michigan, to blast every square inch clean before taking it to Cooter's for the coating process.Cooter's has pioneered an innovative method of applying powdercoating to rollcages by varying the static charge during the powder application as the spray gun approaches adjoined bars. This keeps the coating flowing into these tight areas and minimizes the chance of a chalky spot appearing due to not enough powder getting on these areas. The process requires two operators talking to each other as the gunner approaches a sensitive area so the controller can adjust the static charge for that area.
The parts being coated need to be completely accessible to the powder sprayer, so they are hung on tubes. These tubes and parts are then hung in the oven to be preheated before the powder application. Once the parts achieve a predetermined temperature, they are whisked into the powder-application area and the powder is applied. Then, the parts are put back in the oven until the powder melts and sets on the component.

Today feels more real than some days in the past. It feels so real, it feels unreal. I wrote some weird poetry type thing about my spirit guide on my IAM page. I made it sound more cryptic than I meant to, but it serves my purpose. I was tired of the randomness that was on my page. Now, there is something personal, something about my life as a practicing Shaman. I wonder if anyone gets it...

I was cruising IAM, and I came across the site of "they call me action!!" who's membership was about to expire. I had seen something previously about being "sponsored" and went-a-looking for that forum. I liked her site, so now "they call me action!!" is SPONSORED by me!! Yippie skippie, an IAM sister saved!! Check out her site while you're here. She's listed as one of my buddies.

My new jewelry should be here any day now. As soon as it comes, I'm going to take a bunch of pictures and put them up. I put up a picture today of my industrial with the glass plugs in. With my long hair, it makes them near impossible to see. Why would I want to hide my most-favoritest piercing? Who knows. It was just interesting to note in case the need came up. My body actually just prefers the glass to sleep in. So glass is my every-day option. The nice dressy pieces are coming.

I really like this current idea I have. But if nobody is going to sign up there is no point
Like I've suggested, stick to one thread and get tips from people on how to improve it, people here will be supportive. Once people have seen what you can offer and that there is some kind of long term commitment they will be more likely to sign up next time.
I don't want to do the opposite of what you are saying but this idea I have. Would you sign up
the one your running is a very good idea though. Stick with that and see it through, cause you cant see the potential of a sign up untill its been run for a few months
Could I set the sign up up and someone play it so I can do both? You probably won't be able to but would love to do this idea
Have a look at this:
AI Experiment - what would happen if?
Fairly simple idea, but superbly presented with great attention to detail, that is why it is so popular.
Having a good idea is pretty useless if you don't know how to pull it off. Think about the presentation of your updates, experiment with your current sign up, then think about starting a new one.
I will present in the same format, kind of, as my story. I have PM'd you about it btw.
Right as I know a lot of you when creating challenges & or Sign-ups and experiments like to edit the database, I thought I should post a quick link to my latest addition to the knowledge base. Check out: League Swaps for Dummies
Just thought getting all the stuff together on how to complete on in FM09 would be a great idea.
Nice one LLR. I'll have a read and maybe my 'swap shop' database can be ressurected.
I had a wee idea pop into my head:
Basically, I'd be the England manager but people would sign up, and every match they would get to pick the team, design their own tactics, pick the squad etc.
What do you think of that? Improvments/Criticisms?
OOTP? Good luck, it's always been a good idea but it's hard to implement successfully
stumped me roberto, OOTP? :confused:
Off of the Park, basically someone (Wissles I think) did a sign up where users decided all the tactics etc, I think it was on the baseball game, and then the OP played the game, then the name stuck.
ah right, so I'm not (I don't think) stealing anyones idea?
Nah, it's too broad an idea really for one person to claim it as their own
It was done originally by someone called Bramble I think, and it means Out of the Park, not Off of the park
Close enough :o
For history's sake, It was 'chrisbamb' or more commonly known as Bambi who came up with the idea. Unfortunetly, It was lost on the forum change over.
EDIT: I found it

Any updates on the prediction league you were working on, PluckaDuck?
It was supposed to be out on the 9th, wasn't it? Still eagerly anticipating its release.
Bamble's OOTP
Just cause Plucks link failed :P
I suppose it's kind of the same but he uses multiple club teams.
Have had shocking luck with FM lately. FM computer stuffed up on Thursday and wouldn't turn on. Away visiting family all this weekend, but I spoke to my mum today and she was saying that they reckon they've fixed the computer and I shouldn't have anymore problems. Fingers Crossed!!!
I'm thinking of starting a series of sign-ups called Silly Season Sign-Ups. Basically, I will pick a silly or unusual different theme for each season, and keep an all-time league table of how well everyone as done. My current ideas for the first seasons include:
Celticses versus Rangerses: Put 12 different teams in the SPL that have Rangers or Celtic in their name and having a player/manager sign up, with the added twist of bonus points for the overall winners of Celtic teams or Rangers teams, creating an element of team work.
League of Naughty Words: A league full of teams with rude words in their names (Scunthorpe, Arsenal etc)
The Worst League in the World: A sign up for the Indonesian Third Division
Seperately, I'm also thinking of doing a weekly prediction league sign up with a twist: you predict the outcome of games from a randomly selected leagues in FM and its real-life counterparts. This would be able to run all year round, using league like Russia, Sweden, Ireland etc.
Any feedback and suggestions on these ideas would be much appreciated!
Indonesian Third Division sounds cool, actually.
Very good and original idea mate
I haven't played it in so long
Last year there was a challenge of a team placed into the Premier League with a certain budget and restrictions on who they would be allowed to buy and such. I was wondering if anyone would be opposed to me posting that challenge again this year, as if I remember correctly it was pretty successful.
Is there a CSE awards?

Yes there are, last years results can be found here
I'm planning on doing something to do with making teams out of players who's names all start with the same letter. It'll be ages till it comes up, but just out of interest, which letters do you think I should keep out. There will be 16 teams so 10 will have to miss out.
A - In
B - In
J out
Q out
R In
X out
Y out
Z out
Those are my definites so far, anyone else got any suggestions?
I think the best way of working it out, is if they have a good quality goalkeeper.
i would take U and V out and perharps G
EDIT: I love the idea btw
can i save a spot?
i jsut realised that actaully haha
v's off the top of my head fwiw
GK - VDS/Valdes
DR - Vanden Borre
DL - Van Bronckhorst
DC - Van Buyten
DC - Vidic
MR - Valencia (Antonio)
ML - Vicente/RVP
MC - Van der Vaart
MC - Vieira
ST - Van Nistelrooy
ST - Villa
Vuckenic aswell from Roma and Montenegro good striker
I successfuly finished the San Marino challenge and now I'm looking for a new one. My suggestion is, that a challenge is based around being only a B Team manager of any of the teams in the Second Division B of Spain.
I'm through one season with Athletic Club in Spain and have all the spanish leagues loaded. I noticed that their 'B Team' is called Bilbao Athletic and:
- has a completely seperate manager;
- are able to sign their own players;
- are currently in Secunda B1; and
- can be controlled by human managers.
The aim is to take your B Team to either a cup win or to the highest they can be placed (that will be no higher than champion of the league below your parent club)
This could be a relatively short challenge, or a really long and frustrating one, I'd guess it would depend on how the manager of the 'A Team' treats you, and whether he provides you with any promising youngsters or whether he releases staff above your head.
If this has been suggested before, then i apologise- i did do a quick search but drew a blank. If this gets a positive response then I may post a proper challenge in the forum.
One suggestion though, keep all the letters, but lump all the rare letters like J, X, Y, Z, and any other that you identify as rare, together. Then hold a draw after the sign up is full and randomly assign participants their letters, with the rare letters group being treated as one.
This way, you do not need to discard any letters before-hand and can just rely on the luck of the draw to select the 16 letters (or 15 distinct letters and 1 rare letters group) that will feature in the game proper.
fwiw I still have the data of the last season of last years Northern Monkeys, if anyone was going to create an ultimate Monkeys vs Softies database/sign up/challenge etc
Has there been a scenario challenge this year?
Wherby, I would upload save games of teams in certain scenarios. Eg. save from relegation or crippling debt etc.
I was thinking of maybe starting one some time. Maybe summer.

i think the What if.. challenges are kinda based on that
Yeah, I though that but I only read through that thread at the start and I only skim read it.
i was actaully just about say that
Yeah they were based more on if football in the past hadn't panned out the way it did
From my posts a little further up about teams with all the players beginning with one letter
, I managed to make decent teams with every letter except O,Q,U,W,X,Y, Z
which I was pretty surpirsed with.
So I'll think I'll take out the weakest three teams, and when it comes to draw time, the person who has the missfits, will get drawn 5 out of the 10 letters.
In terms of a challenge, once they're in there, you could try and overtake them with the 'new' monkeys/softies.
I have created an "Eccentric South American Goalie" sign-up, where you aim to be the best goalscoring goalkeeper in the world. If you are interested please go to the link below for more details:
The advertisement of your sign-up should be done on this thread.
If you wanted to see whether the idea was popular before posting it you could have been done here, but it clearly didn't need it
Experiment idea- hope for an obscure nations
I give all the domestic clubs of one obscure nation top training/youth facilities in a hope that great regens are produced. Then hopefully they will win a major competition. Opinions please.
Pnefc, isn't that short challenges? If so, WolvesBestEvaManaga made one recently.
I know mate just an idea. What nation would be good to use?
Kashmirshazad I mean the national team not club team
Yes, they are quite short challenges.
I haven't read his thread yet but will have a look now and then, come back and comment.
EDIT: Yes, his does look quite like what I was thinking of. I will see how his goes and participate probably. I will put this idea off then, if it is already being done

his ones are the ones previously discussed about being 'fairly unrealistic' and not the sort that you meant.
WolvesBestEvaManager's are half-season challenges or less or more set on a certain thing.
The first short challenge is to get Chelsea the highest balance possible by the 30th of August.
Wheras the What If... challenge series is to do with what would have happened if Man U went bust or something.
Have never run a sign up and would love to try one. Am struggling for an idea though. Anyone got a good idea that they aren't going to use that I could run with?
Gready Chip Butty - I was thinking of one where all of the English players play in the area in which they were born.
i.e. Gareth Barry was born in Hastings. So therefore would join Kent.
Wayne Rooney was borin in Liverpool. So therefore would join Merseyside FC or something. A bit like an idea thats running at the moments (The IPL) except it's less dream team and more factual.
Or join Everton
roberto922. true but Everton is a town not an area/county
Fair enough.
it isn't even a town. The idea would be to use counties so the Rooney joining Everton point is redundant. It would require a LOT of editing so maybe you wouldn't want to do that idea. Dafuge's idea sounds good, but like he said it could go wrong.
My apologies for not seeing the bit where it says it's counties only (which I still can't see) but yeah I think Dafuges challenge would be alot easier for you
Well area then. Which considering Everton is a very small area of Liverpool (and does not have a hospital so he won't be from there anyway) then the team would not have many players at all.
Well there is Everton Road Health Centre which is basically a hospital
Pfft. There's a health centre in my town of 40,000 people.
anyone that doesn't have a sign up idea and doesn't care about starting a 'second hand' sign up they could use any of the following ideas -
All American Managerial Contest
X Factor
The Mole
Who Wants to be a Billionaire
I'm such a failure
I've been thinking of running a sign up for some time, but things keep getting in the way. I've got an idea or 2 of my own, but I wouldn't mind stealing A1GP, I enjoyed being in that
People who want a sign-up could use my champions league one from last year that i hardly started would be quite simple for a beginner super_lampard's champions league sign-up
I definitely want to try The Mole at some point when I have more time, as I've said before I think
Guess one of them will be nominated for Best Failed Signup during CSE Award time.
Just don't forget about FM09 A New World roberto.
And I already have some ideas for FM2010 A New World...
I won't forget about it rancer.
I'm playing a career game with Canada atm, and I'm 40th in the latest world rankings! (IRL we are 90 something)
And some other ideas as well. Maybe a fictional league...db with fake players...just blurting out ideas.
I remember that 'Murder Mystery' idea Dafuge. It's a ripper!!!
Another idea for people struggling for an idea is to go back through the pages of the idea's thread. There are a stack of great idea's in here that have either never been utilised or not done properly. I know if I am ever stuck for an idea for a sign-up, I'll always go back through the opening pages of this thread where there reallly are a few crackers.Just remember to ask the person who originally came up with the idea.
I've always wanted to do a sign-up, and I figured now that I have my fixed laptop back, now would be the best time to do it.
Figured being that it would be my first, it would have to be pretty straightforward. If that goes well, then I would branch out into many other ideas.
One idea that I have liked is having forumers create a Brazilian player to go into the Brazilian lower leagues. I would do my best to get one from each position so we could effectively have a team. From there, I would follow the progress to a few World Cups time, where they would hopefully all be in the team to compete in it.
Any thoughts/advice?
Cheers for the suggestions. WIll look properly tomorrow but have an x-factor idea forming!
Can I just ask:
How do you insert an image into a post on here?
I don't mean a link to another URL. Like if I wanted to put the X-Factor logo on the top of my posting?

5 Villains Who Went Out of Their Way to Screw Their Own Plan
If you're the type of person who enjoys picking apart movies, by far the easiest (and most amusing) starting point is to simply rewatch the movie from the villain's perspective. What does the villain actually want? Does the way he's going about it make sense at all? The answers are usually ridiculous.
That's because most movies aren't written that way; the bad guy is just there to create conflict and cool scenes for the hero, regardless of whether there is any logic to it from his own point of view. We've already gone over some villains who accidentally saved the day with their own actions. But at least those bad guys screwed up without realizing it. Here are the ones who seem to go out of their way to sabotage their own plans ...
#5. Spider-Man 2 -- Doctor Octopus Needs Peter Parker Alive, Throws a Car at Him (For No Reason)
The Scheme:
When an accident turns Professor Otto Octavius into a supervillain (as if he wasn't always destined for that career with a name like that), he starts dressing like a subway pervert and adopts the identity of Doctor Octopus, but still intends to continue his experiments in nuclear fusion ... only in an EVIL way. Doc Ock needs some tritium to finish his reactor, so he makes a deal with Harry "Green Goblin Jr." Osborn, who will give him as much tritium as he wants if Ock brings Spider-Man to him.
"I'm in a position to negotiate, apparently."
Problem is, Spidey has been sort of MIA lately. Since it's common knowledge that the only one who can get a hold of him is Peter Parker, Doc Ock needs Peter to lure Spider-Man into a trap, which he forces him to do by kidnapping Peter's love interest, Mary Jane Watson. Very simple.
How He Tried to Screw It Up:
Doc Ock needs both Peter and Mary Jane to be alive for his plan to work ... and yet, when he finds them sitting in a cafe, literally the first thing he does is launch a friggin' car directly at them.
"Hey, Peter! PETER! Over here!"
There's no way two normal people would have survived that -- the only reason Peter was able to duck out of the way is because of his spider-sense and Neo-like reflexes, which Doc Ock obviously doesn't know he has. Otherwise, both he and Mary Jane would have been squashed by a flying vehicle, rendering Doc Ock's entire plan pointless. No Peter, no one to find Spider-Man, no tritium.
Was the whole point of the car-throwing stunt to get Peter and Mary Jane's attention (by decapitating them)? Or was that just his way to say "hi"? Maybe Doc Ock was trying to open the window and there were no trash cans around. Of course, the more likely explanation is that they just needed an excuse to shoot a scene with Peter ducking out of the way of a flying vehicle so they could put that in the teaser trailer.
If you look closely, you can see the dollar signs reflecting off Sam Raimi's eyes.
Also, killing Harry's two friends would have only pissed him off (he specifically says, "Don't hurt Peter"), and then he'd never give the tritium to Ock. Why the guy with the huge metal arms didn't just take the tritium in the first place, we'll never know.
#4. Casino Royale -- Le Chiffre Wants to Interrogate Bond (After Killing Him)
The Scheme:
After losing $100 million to James Bond in a high-stakes poker tournament, terrorist banker Le Chiffre plans to kidnap Bond and torture him until he gives up the password to the Swiss bank account where all the money has been deposited. To accomplish this, he takes advantage of Bond's only weakness: his penis. Le Chiffre kidnaps Bond's love interest, Vesper Lynd, in order to lure 007 into a trap.
How He Tried to Screw It Up:
Like Doc Ock, Le Chiffre seems pretty intent on murdering the guy he desperately needs before he can kidnap him. His brilliant plan consists of:
A) Forcing Bond into a high-speed chase by taking Vesper.
"Get back here, I haven't slept with her yet!"
B) Tying up Vesper and leaving her in the middle of the road so that Bond has to perform a violent swerve at 70 miles per hour.
"I really hope he's not texting."
C) Trusting that Bond will be merely knocked unconscious as the car rolls over a record-breaking total of seven times and crashes down on the side of the road, then kidnapping him. If Bond does what people tend to do in those situations, which is die, the whole plan is ruined.
He doesn't wear condoms. Would you expect James Bond to use a seat belt?
Unless Le Chiffre has a henchman with voodoo powers who can bring people back from the dead, like in Live and Let Die, this makes no sense. And it's not like he wants the money so he can go on a nice vacation or something: He owes that $100 million to some very important terrorists. If Bond doesn't tell him the password for the Swiss bank account, Le Chiffre is screwed big time, so staging a scene that could splatter Bond's brains across his vehicle's upholstery probably isn't the brightest idea.
And let's say Bond doesn't see Vesper in time, runs over her, and then they take him: Even if they fried his balls until he gave up the password, Bond couldn't give Le Chiffre the actual account number ... because the only person who knew that is now roadkill.
"Oh. Well, since you're already here, do you mind if I keep frying your balls for a bit?"
So, instead of the stereotypical Bond villain who makes the mistake of keeping Bond alive too long, here's a bad guy who nearly makes the mistake of killing Bond too soon. They weren't kidding about that total reboot thing.
#3. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom -- Mola Ram Tries to Get Back the Magic Stones (by Flooding Everything)
The Scheme:
Mola Ram is the high priest of the Thuggee cult, a bunch of Indian dudes who hope to rule the world by gathering five lost magical stones. Mola already had three of these stones in his possession, but then that pesky Indiana Jones and his sidekicks stole them and jumped into a mining cart, escaping into a Donkey Kong Country level. Mola sends some henchmen into the tunnels to kill Indy and retrieve the stones so that he can finally reshape the world in his ugly image.
"... and Sinead O'Connor shall be my queen!"
How He Tried to Screw It Up:
At the end of the movie, Indy knows that the evil cult is thwarted because two of the Sankara stones wind up falling into the river and are lost forever -- that's how we know that the movie is over and the good guys won. So, sinking the stones under thousands of gallons of water is obviously against Mola Ram's best interest ... and yet that's exactly what he tries to do during the cart chase. It's like he was trying to end the plot half an hour earlier.
"I'll eat the heart of anyone who doesn't admit Raiders was better!"
See, henchmen isn't the only thing Mola sends into the tunnels: He also breaks down a huge water tank and floods the tunnels in order to drown the heroes, ignoring the fact that Indy still has the stones in his possession. If his corpse ends up buried in a vast, labyrinthine, watery tomb, how exactly does Mola intend to ever get the stones back?
Keep in mind that this is India in 1935, so we doubt that the Thuggee had lots of high-tech equipment on hand to drain the water out of the mines or could send scuba divers to search for small items. It would be quite a daunting task, and since Indy just freed all of Mola's child slaves in a previous scene, Mola Ram's now a little short on free labor.
"We're jumping ship to Nike."
Indy and his pals flee from the rushing water by escaping through a tunnel, which leads them onto a ledge overlooking a long drop into the river. Had they not escaped, the rushing water could have easily propelled their bodies and the stones into the river, and Mola's most prized possessions would end up in a crocodile's rectum.
The worst part is that the "flood everything" approach completely invalidates Mola's previous, far more sensible plan, which was "send henchmen after Indy." If these guards had managed to catch up with Indy, kill him and recover the Sankara stones, they would have had around 20 seconds to feel victorious before running into the huge wall of water coming after them.
And speaking of classic Harrison Ford movies with inept villains ...

I am adding Facebook login to my existing asp.net application. I have added a Facebook login button to my login screen. Now, I click Facebook's login button and in IE 9 it throws client-side exception in all.js on Line 22:
Even after that exception I see the Facebook login screen and can log in, and in the main browser window I get the auth.login event, so I can live with that.
But, if I am already logged in to Facebook, I come to the page and click Facebook login button, I briefly see the empty popup window, then I get teh same client-side exception, and then I get no event in the main browser window, so I don't know if the user logged in so I can't redirect them to another page.
I tried the channelUrl trick but it didn't help.
Any suggestions what's going on?

Hello everybody,
I recently purchased the Nodal Ninja 3 MKII with RD3L 6-8-10 Rotator/EZ-Leveler-II (link: https://store.nodalninja.com/Product...II-RD3L-6-8-10).
I just got it today and I am supper excited. From what I have seen so far it looks and feels like a top quality product whose craftsmanship is superb. It looks and feels awesome.
Unfortunately, I have noticed a slight issue. It appears that there is not enough clearance between the horizontal arm and the Rotator/EZ-Leveler to allow the nob that holds the vertical arm to get close to the center. I do not believe it will be an issue as the vertical arm, the camera mount (and in my case an additional T-Adapter) will take away a lot more distance. I have not yet tried my camera on the NN but I don't think I will have a problem.
Has anybody else had an issue with is? I can't wait to try it out and I will post my first results soon.
Thank you to Nodal Ninja for a wonderland product.

I need to transfer video data to and from an FPGA device over PCI in a linux environment. I'm using a third party PCI master core on the FPGA. So far, I've implemented a simple DMA controller on the FPGA to transfer data from the FPGA to the CPU, using consecutive PCI write bursts.
Next, I need to transfer video data from the CPU to the FPGA. What is the best way to go about this?
Should I implement a module on the FPGA which performs a whole bunch of burst reads over PCI. Or is there a way to get the CPU to efficiently write data into the FPGA's memory using PCI write bursts?
My bandwidth requirements are around 30 MB/s in both directions.

I know のみましょう but I was wondering if the above was legal japanese as well.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
When in doubt, as someone Japanese, or else search for the exact word or phrase to see if it appears in Japanese blogs, forum discussions, online publications or other material.
There are a million hits for 飲んでましょう, in quotes, and 0.8 million more for 飲んでいましょう. So the evidence points to the answer that it is "valid" in the sense that it is in reasonably wide use by the people.
Reading some of these, it is difficult to see if there is any difference in meaning or distinguishing usage.
You would think that the progressive + volitional form would emphasize the ongoing activity. Let's do this, and keep going: let's be doing this.
This is making me curious.
A good pair to research may be 遊んで(い)ましょう vs. 遊びましょう. This would reveal if one is a preferred way to say "let's play regularly" versus "let's play now". I'm thinking that people would express this more often than "let's drink all the time". :)
Update from asking Japanese speaker, shedding some additional light.
This progressive volitional is appropriate if the activity is already going on. If people are already drinking (飲んでいる) then it makes for one of them to say もっと飲んでいましょう (let's drink more; let's keep drinking).
This applies to -たい (want to do).
今「遊んでいる」、だから 「もっと遊んでたい。/もっと遊んでいましょう。」
今「遊んでない」、だから 「遊びたい。/遊びましょう。」
飲んでましょう is a colloquial form for 飲んでいましょう. In general, abbreviating ~ている to ~てる is common in colloquial speech. Whether you count colloquial expressions as "legal" or not is up to you.
Now what is the difference between 飲んで(い)ましょう and 飲みましょう? As I understand it, the former implies that the suggested action of drinking is temporary.
I think that 飲んで(い)ましょう is typically used in the following context. A group of people decided to go out for a dinner (more precisely 飲み会, but I cannot explain it well in English…). Most of them have arrived at a restaurant, but not all of them. Then the organizer (幹事) says something like:
Here the organizer says 先に飲んで(い)ましょう instead of 先に飲みましょう because the situation of 先に飲む (drink before something, here drink before Mr. Yamada comes) is supposed to be temporary, because people expect that Mr. Yamada will arrive soon.

Matt Ryan came up with two words to describe his performance Sunday night.
"Good enough," he said.
It's a familiar summary for the 2012 Atlanta Falcons, who just keep winning — even when they make a couple mistakes.
Michael Turner had a tiebreaking 3-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, Matt Bryant kicked four field goals and the Falcons beat the Dallas Cowboys 19-13 to extend their run as the NFL's only unbeaten team.
"I think at the end of the day it's a league that's based on wins and losses and tonight was a solid effort by this team and we did what we needed to do to come out with a win," Ryan said.
Turner had 20 carries for 102 yards and Ryan had a season-high 342 yards passing for the Falcons (8-0), who took their first lead with 14:16 left in the game.
"We have a very good football team," coach Mike Smith said. "It says a lot about the resolve because there is going to be ebbs and flows in a football game, and there were a lot tonight. We did a nice job staying focused."
Tony Romo completed 25 of 35 passes for 321 yards for the Cowboys (3-5), who have dropped four of their last five games. They were held to 65 yards rushing, including 39 yards on nine carries by Felix Jones.
"There's a reason they're undefeated halfway through the season," Dallas coach Jason Garrett said. "This is a challenging place to play at. I thought we did some good things in the ballgame. They did more good things. We didn't do enough to win this game in all three phases of our football team."
The Cowboys trailed 16-6 before Romo tried to put together a comeback. He completed all six of his attempts on a big drive that ended with a 21-yard TD strike to Kevin Ogletree.
The Falcons then worked the clock, holding the ball for 5 minutes, 4 seconds, leaving only 17 seconds after Bryant's 32-yard field goal.
The Cowboys burned all their timeouts as Ryan kept the Falcons' offense on the field in the crucial time-consuming drive. Ryan passed to Jacquizz Rodgers for 31 yards and 11 yards on third-down plays. A defensive holding call against cornerback Orlando Scandrick on another third down prolonged the possession.
Finally, the Cowboys stopped Turner on a third-down run at the Dallas 14.
Romo never attempted a deep pass, though he had only 17 seconds to cover 80 yards. He found Jason Witten for passes of 7 and 11 yards, leaving 9 seconds. He passed to Felix Jones for 8 yards, leaving time for one play from the Cowboys 40.
Romo scrambled before passing to Jones, who was dropped near the Atlanta 22 to end the game.
"I think any time you're in that situation you obviously want to get the ball back with a chance, and it's tough," Romo said. "That's why they're a good football team. They're tough to beat at home. They proved it when they were able to run the clock out at the end."
Ryan was 24 for 34. Roddy White had seven catches for 118 yards and passed Terance Mathis for the most receptions in Falcons history. Julio Jones had five catches for 129 yards.
There also is a new Dallas leader for career receptions. With seven catches for 51 yards, Witten has 754 for his career, passing Michael Irvin's record of 750.
Miles Austin led the Cowboys with seven catches for 76 yards.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he was "extremely, extremely" disappointed.
"We certainly didn't plan to end up here at 3-5 halfway through the season," Jones said. "We've got some tough ballgames. We've got half our season left."
For three quarters, it was a kicking contest — and a pretty shaky one, too.
Bryant kicked field goals of 45 and 46 yards in the second quarter for Atlanta's only points before Turner's score. Bryant also missed from 43 and 37 yards, wide right each time.
"Tonight was not a very good day as far as overall body of work," said Bryant, who made 27 of 29 attempts in 2011 and was 16 for 17 this season before Sunday night's game. "It was just one of those days where you have to have a short memory and get ready for the next game."
Dan Bailey's field goals from 23 and 32 yards were the Cowboys' only points in the first half. He missed from 54 yards.

@hopper75: Make sure you add the 2-pack. That did the trick for me.
2-pack was $2.99 shipped. Coupon saves a buck on shipping.
@necrom23: $1.99 is added for expedited shipping, if you choose the standard, slow shipping its free, meaning $1.00 shipped.
@natecj: did u choose free shipping
I just bought a 2 pack for a buck shipped
@commodog: Yes, I was just replying to the previous post stating that the 2-pack cost $2.99 shipped due to the "faster" shipping option. The normal shipping option gives you the 2-pack for $1.00.
Their shipping time is hit-or-miss. Sometimes it's a week, sometimes it's 3+. Regardless, I am in for a pair. And my phone is plugged into one of their adapters right now, so I know they work.
I purchased these adapters from Meritline a year or so back, and shortly after receiving them got an e-mail telling me not to use them because problems had been reported with the cables. Meritline added a credit of $5 to my account which was more than I'd paid. Of course, Meritline is one of the few vendors where $5 is actually a "spendable" amount. I thought they handled the situation quite well, and am giving it another go since I'm sure they have resolved the previous problem.
BTW…remember to add the 2 pack to your cart, and watch the shipping as the cart defaults to an expedited service for a couple more $'s. Regular shipping is free.
Im in for a set. This is handy as I have some nice USB car cables (well nicer then a .99 cable lol) and having the ability to use them with my Mico USB devices is great. Thanks for the others whose input made this an easy and simple transaction. Never can say enough good about the regulars in this part of Woot.
out of stock! I missed them :(

Let $x$ and $y$ be two points on the unit sphere $S^{n-1}$ in Euclidean space ${\mathbb{R}}^n$. Suppose that the angle $\theta$ between the points $x$ and $y$ is acute, so that the dot product $x\cdot y=\cos\theta>0$, where we treat $x$ and $y$ as unit vectors. The angle $\theta$ can be interpreted as the geodesic distance between $x$ and $y$ in the round metric on the sphere $S^{n-1}$.
The Cauchy inequality applied here states that $x\cdot y\le 1$. Equality holds if and only if $x=y$. (The case where $x$ and $y$ are antipodal is ruled out by the condition that the angle $\theta$ is acute.)
I'm curious as how we can sharpen this inequality to account for the situation when the geodesic distance $\theta$ is large. Noting that $\cos \theta < 1-\theta^2/2$ as $\theta$ is acute, this basic estimate geometrically becomes $x\cdot y <1-\theta^2/2$.
I'm wondering if my lower bound is the best possible. In other words, is it true that $1-x\cdot y=O(\theta^2)$ if the angle $\theta$ is acute?
Is there an analogue of this sharpened inequality when we consider points on the unit sphere $S^{2n-1}$ in complex Euclidean space ${\mathbb{C}}^n$ and apply the complex Cauchy inequality instead?

They run a smidge on the larger side, but not on the width (which actually seems a bit narrow for my liking, but have already relaxed after week). My only qualm is that they don't offer other colorways. If they came in black or even a camel color, I would have bought both!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ted from Wife Lure I bought these boots because I liked them. They were a bit more than I was planning on spending, but they are worth their weight in gold. For some reason, my wife cannot get enough of me when I'm wearing them. I have no idea what it is, but I've giving them 5 stars. Beyond that, they are well made, durable and the leather wears well.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Andy4214 from Good shoe but doesn't keep color After just a few wears the leather in the front of the shoe was severely wrinkled, normally wouldn't be a problem except with the wrinkles came an ugly yellow color in the leather that was impossible to get rid. Not worth the effort to maintain if it degrades after just one wear.
