Comments about Dean Playmate Evo J 3/4 Size Electric Guitar:
Bought this for my ten year old. Unbelievable looks, quality, and electronics for the price. Used an electronic tuner the first time that I tuned it, stretched all the strings by hand and it went way out of tune, retuned it, strummed it once, tuned it again, he played for five minutes and it was out again. not sure whether it is the nut or the tuners, I will have the local guitar shop look at it. Still quite a buy unless it cost a lot to get it fixed. (grabbed my two Ibanez to let him practice with the electronic tuner and found both spot on after setting for two months)

Comments about Dean Playmate Evo J 3/4 Size Electric Guitar:
I was looking for a small travel guitar that would fit in airline overheads and wanted something other than the ubiquitous Squier Mini Strat. I had owned one of those in the past and they felt too small and never sounded that good.
I bought this Dean based on good reviews and could not be more pleased. I just spent two weeks on the road with it and actually forgot it was a 3/4 size (until I noticed some of the stretchier chords were easier to reach). I carry a little "cigarette box" amp and the combination was great for hotel rooms.
I own a Fender Strat, an Epiphone Les Paul Studio, an Ibanez AS73 and a couple of Martin acoustics. Generally you get what you pay for but this little Dean is an exception to the rule. It's getting a lot of my playing time.
Set up out of the box was decent but I put on new strings and personalized a few adjustments. The cord that came with it was too cheap and didn't actually work. I gave it five stars anyway because it is such a fun little guitar.

Comments about Dean Playmate Evo J 3/4 Size Electric Guitar:
I have relatively small hands, and on top of that had a biking injury years ago that left me with much pain on the base of my thumbs which prohibited me from being able to play for more than a few minutes without cringing in agony. As a music lover, I found a solution, voila! Enter "The Ukulele". Fun, but not a guitar replacement. Thanks to instruments like this one (7/8 and 3/4 guitars) plus the use of light strings I am able to play again. As I said, this "Playboy" (as in guitar player) LOVES his Playmate (Evo 3/4 size ax).
Comments about Dean Playmate Evo J 3/4 Size Electric Guitar:
Stay Away
None really
Poor quality throughout, tuners junk, intonation impossible, Bridge placement mounted with no thought to intonate. You can almost intonate this guitar but adjustment screws jam into the string. lower strings adjustment needs to be all the way back on bridge and then comes the string jamming with adjustment screw. Fretboard cheap and glued a little to one side. 3 way switch makes noise when used. This guitar could almost be playable with a little more thought from the Einstein's who designed it. Do not buy this guitar for your child's first guitar. Poor craftsmanship, Bad all over. Pass on this one.
Comments about Dean Playmate Evo J 3/4 Size Electric Guitar:
I would have preferred more or better finish on the back of the neck, but thats about the only really obvious thing that seems budget about the guitar.
I might do a little bit of setup work on it myself, but out of the box its very comfy and playable. No audible string buzz thru the amp.
2 humbucking pickups, 6 saddle top load bridge, volume and tone controls- I got the black finish model - it looks great, sort of like a mandolin and a Les Paul guitar had a baby!
Everything looks solid. Neck construction is very well done, fret ends are smooth. Action is low and comfy. There is a tiny bit of fretbuzz, but all in all its extremely well made. It sounds fine thru the amp.
I also tried the Avalanche guitar (small strat shape guitar) in a store - those are really well made too.
I considered finding one of those Hofner Shorty guitars, but this one from Dean was a lot easier to find online.
I got this for myself for travelling, but would not hesitate to get one for a kid or someone with small hands to use as a first guitar.
So far so good! Down the road I may get new tuners or new nut if there are problems but other than that its doing fine out of the box.
Dean also sends the allen wrenches to set the height of the saddles, and to adjust the neck truss rod, plus a cable to plug into your amp. They also give you a simple instruction sheet for adjustments. All of that is a really nice touch.
Comments about Dean Playmate Evo J 3/4 Size Electric Guitar:
I bought this 3/4 size for my son age 10. He loves it and went right to work. I looked it over - a lot of times these "student guitars" are more for show than for playing. Not this Evo. It has great action all the way up the neck. The short scale length lets the smaller fingers bend notes with ease. Also, the humbuckers really give out a lot of edgy, sharp attack. This guitar is the one for a serious youth to learn on until they can get the Les Paul!!!

Oops, something didn't work.
oh this video is very very good, i just can't wait for testing it on my own!
I didn't notice it at first, but did Chris say PDC '93 instead of 2003 a few times near the end of the video?
I keep thinking, "1993 wasn't that long ago".
scobleizer wrote:>WinFX is not installed in Windows Vista by default?
Where did you hear that? WinFX and .NET, Chris said, were included in Windows Vista. Where did you get that?
The the Whidbey version of the .Net framework is in Windows Vista, it's out there. And WinFX comes along with Windows Vista, its on the disk, people can install it if they want to install it and use it, so it will be around with every copy. And, the nice
thing about both Whidbey and WinFX is they are available downlevel for Windows XP. So...
Nice Video. Although the fact that Chris has a hammer and some Scotchtape directly behind him for most of the video, doesn't do much for my confidence in the build. LOL!
Ok, trying to download and we have a problem. What was the bandwidth calculation for this release? Why not torrent the thing and be done with it.
Still need a key.
Still need to register your copy. Here is a link to what I am seeing. Still trying.....
scobleizer wrote:>Ask how many lines of code are in vista and XP.
I've asked that before. They don't know for sure because there's so much code all over the place being compiled into it.
We're going to get a tour of the build labs and we'll ask that question again and see if we get a better answer.
Unfortunately there isn't.amazzitelli wrote:

eddwo wrote:What I do hope is that there is at least support for inputting and editing INK on non-tablets, maybe the equivelent of having the Tablet SDK installed by default. Or will that come through WinFX as well?
Windows Vista includes many advances for Tablet PC developers. Chief among these are Ink Analysis and integration with the Windows Presentation Foundation, formerly code name "Avalon". Probably the biggest advance, however, is the ubiquity of Tablet PC features. To date, developers have had a difficult time with the Tablet PC technology redistribution problem. With Windows Vista, however, Tablet PC technologies are ubiquitous across all Windows Vista editions.

This standard user thing is not going to work. Most users today simply don't understand the importance of PC security. People are not going to know about the difference between an administrator account and standard account. If all Vista user accounts are admin by default, most people will never know to change that.
Furthermore, the average user will just blindly input their password anytime they're prompted and end up installing who knows what on their systems. I hope this isn't Vista's only defense against spyware—Microsoft needs to make a lot of under the hood changes to prevent spyware from overtaking a system in the first place.
vbl stands for virtual build lab. we have central build lab && a set of second level labs (usually org based) that do a put all the changes that have happened for a period of time in at one go. it allows us to keep the core build super solid, && have teams
work off by themselves without the rest of the world hosing them. originally we would only have 1 level of vbls below core. now we have multiple levels of vbls. reverse integrating is the term we use for putting stuff from the vbl into the main lab.
we didn't know about the vista name back in 1999 when this was created. we still had neptune & odessey as separate projects - some idiot went off to create whistler && blackcomb as project names. longhorn came out of that...
The sidebar was dropped some time ago, and won't be back apparently.

I dont think you need a very fast computer at all to run this. Vista is running better for me than XP ever did.
I can actually have adobe photoshop cs 2 open, and it will not lag down all my other applications or my desktop.
I have penitum 4 2.6ghz with 384ddr ram. So my pC isnt the fastest and Vista runs nice and smooth on it.
I think alot of people will find this OS incredible. Especially how much better its going to be in its final release.
Same here. The PC I installed Vista on doesn't even meet the minimum requirements, and it still runs way better than I expected. It seems to even access the HDD less than XP does, and most of the applications run smoothly.
For those of you who don't have access to Vista, I posted 19 screenshots at http://www.geekpedia.com/software38_Windows-Vista-Beta-1-Screenshots.html.
Though, it's a pity you can't see the animations.
Vista behaves very strangely on my machine. It's really slow/jerky/unusable, except when it's running the CPU flat out.
I had to install Seti@Home and run that in the background, to keep the CPU at 100%, so I could use the system at all. With Seti running its really smooth and snappy, it seems faster than XP and downloads go much faster.
As soon as the processor drops below 100% its back to being all jerky again. When its jerky the system clock also runs too slowly. When watching the control panel clock applet, it ticks about once every 7 seconds.
Must be a problem with the chipset driver I think. Something low level anyway.
I have Windows Vista Beta 1 now for a while,
But i can't make it work with my Raid Controller

Dialog boxes, maximized windows and certain other windows don't have the titlebar transparent. I believe that with a transparent titlebar you can focus more on the what's in the window, disregarding the titlebar (which you rarely look at).
Also, they added an interesting blur effect so that the text in the titlebar can be readable.
First I was a bit confused with Virtual Folders, then I got used to them. It shouldn't take long for the typical Windows XP user to accommodate to Vista. The basic operations like simply browsing for a file and other routine tasks are still similar to the previous Windows operating systems.
One of the graphic effects I like most on Vista is when you hover over the minimize, maximize/restore and close buttons in the titlebar. I updated the page and added screenshots with this effect.
Andrei P. wrote:No wonder. There are lots of Linux zealots and other Microsoft haters that hunt these reviews and hijack them with comments and bad ratings. You can see them everywhere, here, on Robert's blog, on MSDN, on Neowin, and so on. They have nothing better to do between kernel version updates.
"The interface and features are not as good as Mac OS"
"Bow down Microsoft give in to anyone with a little cash(IMHO). Really; I am glad that there are GOOD alternatives out there, IE Linux, BSD, and even the Mac. Take back your computer and enjoy feeling the freedom and empowerment that comes from using an alternative OS. Try Linux, it is always free, free of cost and free of viruses, spyware, tcpa, and drm. Also most every program you could want, good programs can be downloaded and used for free. Try www.PCLinuxOS.com, or www.ubuntu.org, or www.mepis.com"
"Microsoft is going to catch up to Apples current technology and features... in over 1 year. By then Mac OS X and Linux will be years & years ahead. Again. "
Yes, that was really enlightening. I am quite curious to find out how you find these and 70% other similar reviews, "eye opener".
Also, no one sane enough rates an operating system lower than 4. I don't think there's any operating system deserving less than 4 out of 10. Most of the reviewers on CNET rated Vista 1, 2 or 3. Not to mention reviews such as "I can create Windows Vista at home using skins", reviews which clearly come from someone who only judges by seeing a couple of screenshots.
And when Apple launched Tiger, why weren't there any Microsoft zealots posting reviews such as the ones I see now on CNET: "Who needs it? I wonder, who needs it. It is not going to make my customers pay their bills faster, it will not make them accept higher prices...". With this kind of perspectives you'll not be going far my friend.
I'm convinced now. No matter what Microsoft is going to do, biased reviews will always exist. And there will always be someone to hijack forums and blogs with their unconstructive, obsesively repeating comments. Microsoft enthusiasts don't join Linux or Mac forums talking about how great Windows is. If Linux or Mac was that great, it would have the OS market by now. The same way Ford lost in front of Toyota on the US market recently.
When is the Public Beta 2 version going to be available?
Also, what torrent site has the Beta 1 version available for download?

It is a standard result of elementary homological algebra that to every R-module $A$ there exists a projective resolution. It is often said that the category of R-modules has "enough projectives." In which other categories is this also true? In particular is it true for abelian categories?
Among the standard examples of abelian categories without enough projectives, there are
No abelian category where the functors of infinite product are not exact can have enough projectives. In Grothendieck categories (i.e. abelian categories with exact functors of small filtered colimits and a set of generators) there are always enough injectives, but may be not enough projectives.
Among the standard examples of abelian categories with enough projectives, there are
A simple example of an abelian category having not enough projectives is the category of finite abelian groups. In fact, it contains neither non-trivial projective objects nor non-trivial injective objects.
Way too optimistic: in many abelian categories there are not enough projectives (and in the dual category there are not enough injectives).
The most standard example is sheaves of abelian groups on a topological space X. For most X, this category does not have enough projectives. See for example this question where this was discussed: When are there enough projective sheaves on a space X?
On the positive side: if A has enough projectives and I is a small category then the category $A^I$ (i.e. the category of functors $F:I\to A$) has enough projectives (assuming arbitrary sums exist in A). In particular, the category of complexes in A has enough projectives (taking $I=\mathbb Z$ with arrows $d_n:n\to n+1$ satisfying $d_{n+1}\circ d_n=0$). See this question: How to construct pair of adjoint functors from category A to category A_D(category of diagrams)
All of these are abelian categories.

Am I the only one who feels this way?
Nobody could possibly understand what I'm going through.
I must be a freak.
I'll never be good enough.
If so, you are in the right place!
Almost everyone suffers with these thoughts every day…and yet we all feel completely alone, like no-one could ever understand.
If only we could x-ray people's thoughts, we'd discover that we're not even close to alone. In fact, we're surrounded by people who feel the same way. The problem is that we're all so busy trying to hide how awful we feel that we don't notice that everyone else is doing the same thing.
That's what I'm here for – to help you realize that you're not alone. To help you understand that no matter what you've done, experienced, and been through – You. Are. Not. Alone.

I was reading that Symantec suffered a source code leak and I was wondering how bad this is for a anti-virus product. Do these products rely heavily upon "(in)Security Through Obscurity" or does it really matter? ClamAV is open source, does this weaken the security that it can provide?
I'm not certain this is necessarily security through obscurity by design. Symantec, like many corporate entities before them, see their source code as the intellectual property and not necessarily guarded for the sole reason of protecting their product from directed attacks. (Note that it doesn't hurt to have a little security by obscurity as long as it isn't your only means of protection.)
However, with that said, having their (old) source code read can open up new avenues for exploits. Although it is 5 years old, it is entirely possible (and generally probable) that parts of the source code have been reused in many of their more recent products.
Personally, I have reviewed -- as part of my job -- source code for products which have been in iterations for the past 10 years or more. The latest editions almost always have at least some code from their initial versions because it is usually the case that the core simply gets augmented rather than re-written.
It is definitely possible that it will be easier to avoid heuristic based algorithms if you know specifically what they are checking for and makes it much less of a black box test. Other than that depending on what was leaked if they got the signatures themselves that would be invaluable because you'd then know exactly what they were looking for and you'd be able to modify accordingly.
I was thinking that it might be possible to discover and exploit vulnerabilities in the AV itself, and craft viruses that attack the AV directly. Seeing that Symantec has a lot of power over the OS, owning the AV would be quite the rootkit.
Virus and antivirus software play an elaborate hide-and-seek game; they have done so for the last 20 years at least. An antivirus tries to "look at" all the places where a virus may hide; new virus try to find new hiding places, that antivirus do not know of yet. Reverse engineering is done both ways, and having access to source code sure makes reverse engineering easier.
Still, access to source code should not be fatal in that direction. Obscurity is the only weapon in the virus arsenal; once reverse-engineered, it becomes obvious how the virus replicates itself, how to detect it, and how to remove it. Having the source code of a virus would kill it. On the other hand, having the complete source code of an antivirus does not tell you how to defeat it; it only tells you what kind of virus will not escape it. A virus developer would still have to find a new path through which the virus may go and proliferate, that the antivirus developer did not think of. The virus developer could gather the same information through testing. Having access to the antivirus source code thus makes virus development quantitatively less tiresome, but not qualitatively easier.
Depressingly, most antivirus software primarily detect virus through so-called signatures (chunks of code which appear in some known virus but probably not in "normal software") and most virus try to escape antivirus by simply having a new, distinct signature. This is depressing because it means that both virus and antivirus developers are still, basically, in the Stone Age. The antivirus developers win by adding new signatures as fast as possible. The virus developers win by being so numerous that antivirus developers are overwhelmed. There is no elegance here, just raw numbers. However, it means that an antivirus is mostly a big
To sum up, I would say that the damage resulting from antivirus source code leakage is mostly a Public Relations issue: as a "security company", they should know better than letting their corporate assets leak that way. But it does not have much impact on the actual security offered by the product itself.

Section 1 of the Washington Parks Bicycle Route begins by heading west out of Sedro-Woolley to Anacortes, with ferry options for riding through several of the San Juan Islands. The route follows the Olympic Discovery Trail from Sequim to Port Angeles, passing the entry to Olympic National Park. The route then heads west to Forks on the peninsula. South of Forks you'll encounter incredible views and ample opportunities to explore the shorelines from the beach parking lots. Elma is where you choose to continue on the main route or connect to the 111-mile Sound Alternate. It is a mostly rural connection back to Port Townsend that includes a spur to the Bremerton ferry, with an option for travel to Seattle.

The state of Washington is in the process of re-surfacing the 101 with a product called "chip-seal", which creates an absolutely horrible surface for us to ride on. WE are using recumbent trikes...and that change is difficult. PS...one needs to know that wildlife can be dangerous in the region...had a close encounter with a cougar.

Riding from Fort Flager to Port Angeles on the 8 mile stretch of SR 20 between SR 19 and HWY 101 needs to be taken seriously. It is comprised of a single lane in each direction and is a winding, hilly road. The sight lines are minimal and the posted speed limit is 55 mph. Most drivers exceed that limit and drift off into the shoulder on turns. The traffic is constant and includes tractor trailers (double long), transit vans, delivery trucks, and other large vehicles. The shoulder ranged from being several inches wide, several inches wide with a crumbling edge leading to a steep drop off, or crowded by a guard rail forcing a rider into traffic. Unlike, say HWY 101, the SR 20 shoulder was far too narrow for the conditions. Overall I found the Adventure Cycling descriptions of roads I traveled on along this route to lack sufficient detail to be helpful. YMMV. The map itself was heavily abused and held up well, the descriptions of services and other information was helpful and appreciated. The map was easy to read/follow and the elevation information was great (although note that scale changes!).

A great tour - I just did the Olympic peninsula, but the map was missing some things I was looking for about route description (including safety an road quality). Tricky to follow the Olympic Discovery trail (poorly marked and map not detailed enough to help) between Sequim and Port Angeles (which is a great trail)

Some people pronounce the S in Islam as Z, and others pronounce it as S.
Which is correct?
Some people pronounce the S in Islam as Z, and others pronounce it as S.
Which is correct?
Looking at the other answers, I would like to intervene. Whatever the correct pronunciation in Arabic is, we are talking about English here. Merriam-Webster lists quite a few variations:
It also provides two audio recordings, one for /ɪsˈlɑːm/ and one for /ɪzˈlæm/.
The Wiktionary says:
Again, with all due respect to other languages, we just don't pronounce matador the way it is pronounced in Spanish, sputnik the way it is pronounced in Russian, or kindergarten the way it is pronounced in German.
Well, "Islam" (and consequently all words derived from it) is pronounced correctly with an S not a Z.
And the importance of this distinction is that "Izlam" in Arabic means "getting dark", whereas "Islam" (with S) means "submission".
If native English speaking Muslims (of whom there are many) favour 'Isslam', then this pronunciation has some authority. You are an authority on the pronunciation of your own religion, just as you are on the pronunciation of your own name.
It would be interesting to know the Native English speaking Muslim pronunciation.
It is interesting to note that the NZ media seems to have deliberately changed from 'Islamist', where the emphasis was on the second syllable, to 'Izlumist', with emphasis on the third syllable.
Edit: the original pronunciation is something like "eeslahm", but the point is never pronounce it with a z.

BELLAIRE The Pultney Township trustees met Wednesday night to discuss several ongoing issues, including the possible decision to enter into a joint fire district with the Village of Bellaire.

Pultney Township Trustees Frank Schaeffer, right, and Jim Tekely discuss ongoing fact finding into the issues surrounding the possibility of forming a joint fire district with the Village of Bellaire during a meeting Wednesday night. Schaeffer said they were following the Ohio Revised Code regulations concerning how to form a joint fire district.
He added that the township currently contracts with two fire departments: Neffs and the Spirit of 76.
Trustees were approached by Neffs to form a joint fire/EMS district and have created an exploratory committee to look into the matter. Members of the Bellaire Village Council have joined the committee.
Among the issues to be discussed are the liens on the Neffs Fire Department building. The current fire service is provided through a 1 mill levy from the village. The township has a .5 mill ambulance and EMS services levy and a 3.5 mill fire levy. The trustees have obtained projected new millage amounts for two to six mill levies. Should the township decide to form a new district, they would have to decide which millage they want.
They must also determine the change in property values. The current levy is based on 1985 standards. A levy proposal, whether new or replacement, must be turned in by August to be on the ballot.
"We're looking at funding 76. We're looking at the boundary lines," Schaeffer said. "Whether we want to place the boundary lines, whether to keep them as a separate entity, which is what (Neffs) is asking us to do. All we're doing is fact finding. That's where we're at now."
Trustee Jim Tekely added that a public hearing will be scheduled after the information is gathered and a course is ready to be proposed. Public input would be welcome.

P2P4U Net – Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club
The Wolverhampton Wanderers can trace their origins back to 1877 and the foundation of St. Lukes Football Club. By 1888 the club had become founding member of the Football League and just a year later they managed to reach the FA Cup final, though they lost to Preston North End. Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club has four FA Cup wins to its credit, the first of which came before the turn of the century in 1893 against Everton. The second FA Cup victory came in 1908 against Newcastle United while the third and fourth wins came in 1949 and 1960 respectively. These last two FA Cup wins fell on either side of one of the most productive decades in Wolverhampton Wanderers history as the club won the top tier division three times during that period.
Since 1889 Wolverhampton has player their home matches at Molineaux stadium, which is one of the most historical venues in English football. Molineaux Stadium holds the distinction of being the first new build stadium in the Football League. The current capacity of Molineaux sits at around 28,000 though planned renovations and expansions should increase that to about 36,000 by the end of the decade. For English football fans Molineaux Stadium is generally one of the best places to visit if you want to watch football in a great environment.
The most prominent nickname for Wolverhampton Wanderers is Wolves, a nickname which is supported by both the official name of the club and the adopted badge for the club which features a black wolf's head on a orange background. The club's official colors are black and orange and both colors are used extensively in the home and away kits. The home kit includes an orange shirt and black shorts while the away kit features both a black shirt and black shorts that are lined with orange.
The Wolves main rival is West Bromwich Albion F.C., a club that they have faced 11 times over the past 14 years and 150 time total in what is known as the Back Country Derby. Like other large market football teams Wolverhampton has had a problem in the past with hooligans using the emotion and confusion of football games to start trouble with other fans, often in the name of a particular team. These days Wolverhampton supporters are some of the best fans around though if you plan on going to Molineaux Stadium to watch football P2P4U recommends that you do not wear the colors of the opposing club.
The Wolves are currently being managed by Mick McCarthy since July of 2006 when he took over a Wolverhampton club that had been gutted due to financial concerns. Starting from scratch McCarthy managed to put together a decent team in his first season and led the wolves to a promotion into the Premier league by 2009. In 2010 McCarthy led the club to its highest finish ever, placing 15th in the Premier league and ensuring that the club would be able to play in the top tier in the next season as well.
Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. has a variety of record and statistics that may prove to be unbreakable in this era of modern football. One such record is the record for most appearances for the team, held by Derek parkin with 609 total appearances between 1968 and 1982. Even the runner up on that list, Kenny Hibbit, has 574 appearances to his credit and P2P4U net notes that he played during the same period as Derek Parkin. Another record that probably isn't going to be broken any time soon is the all time goal scorer record set by Steve Bull in 1999 with 306 goals for the Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. English football these days is simply too different than it was half a century or even a decade ago. These days there are more football clubs than ever before and they are spending more than ever trying to get the best players at every level. This means more opportunity for players on the open market and more motivation to leave the team that brought you up whereas players in times gone by used to be loyal to their original club and lacked the mobility to make the types of moves that are being made in football today.Tags: p2p4u, p2p4u net, p2p4u net wolverhampton wanderers, p2p4u wolverhampton wanderers

The 10 Worst Fictional Products in Pop Culture History
A look back at some of the products from movies and TV that would be less than ideal in the real world.
Originally, Hill Valley scientist Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown was forced to cavort with Libyan terrorists to obtain the plutonium that sent his flux-capacitor-powered DeLorean through time. But Brown's first order of business upon arriving in the distant future of 2015 was nevertheless to pimp his quantum-leaping ride with a commercially available reactor that turns garbage into energy through nuclear fusion.
What's Wrong With It?
Safety? Where we're going, we don't need safety. If and when these blender-sized nucleosynthesizers find their way to Kmart, the last place you're going to want to install one is the rear end of your flying DeLorean, lest a common highway fender-bender result in a miniature thermonuclear meltdown in your back seat. Robert Zemeckis' prediction that Mr. Fusions will hit shelves less than eight years from now may have been premature; however, it remains more plausible than the film's 2015 Cubs World Series victory.
#9. Buddy Bands (Saved by the Bell)
Here's one request you'll never hear from a consumer: "Gee, I'd really like to be indefinitely tethered at the wrist to Dustin Diamond." Yet that's exactly what Zack, Screech, Kelly and the rest of Bayside High's brightest achieved when an economics assignment required them to market an original product ("The Friendship Business"). Oddly, the young entrepreneurs chose to disregard the obvious engineering genius of their "friend" Samuel "Screech" Powers, who once constructed a robot so sophisticated it was capable of pity. Hey, Zack and Slater weren't going to take their cues from a dweeb! Anyways, who needs brains when you have Ray Bans and an oversized cell phone?
What's Wrong With It?
The sheer physical awkwardness of attempting to navigate the busy hallways of Bayside while tethered at the wrist to another human being creates a disturbingly high potential for dislocated shoulders and swirly-related drownings. Furthermore, the site of young men joined at the hands would easily increase homophobia among the already ambiguous, neon-tank-top-clad young men of Bayside.
#8. Buzz Beer (The Drew Carey Show)
Buzz Beer, a coffee-flavored microbrew concocted by Carey, has the dubious honor of being a business venture as desperate as the sitcom that spawned it would, nine seasons later, ultimately become. Years before Mr. Carey ascended Bob Barker's throne as America's foremost authority on the retail value of jet skis, his loveable crew-cut-wearing desk-jockey "Drew Carey" (not to be confused with the creepy, hooker binging, crew-cut-wearing comic Drew Carey) fixed his thick-rimmed eyes on the beer market with a revolutionary brewing process that essentially involved running a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon through a used Mr. Coffee. Surprisingly, Anheuser-Busch has yet to file for bankruptcy.
What's Wrong With It?
Coffee and beer go together like peanut butter and jelly ... if peanut butter was a powerful stimulant served piping hot at 7 a.m. and jelly was the very depressant that knocked you out in the first place the night before. This contradictory brew is comparable to infusing a refreshing glass of milk with the quenching properties of a tube of warm cookie dough. While not technically the worst thing to ever come out of Cleveland (that distinction belongs to the Browns), Buzz Beer still remains a disgrace to caffeine addicts and alcoholics alike.
#7. Cobra Kai Martial Arts Lessons (The Karate Kid)
When the noble Sensei of East Asia developed the elegant art of karate, did it ever occur to them that a gang of WASP-y high shcoolers would one day use their fighting style to kick the shit out Ralph Macchio? Perhaps. But they would have assumed Macchio had at least invaded their land, not flirted with Elizabeth Shue on a beach. Trained in the ruthless Cobra Kai dojo, the aggressive student Johnny (William Zabka) and his cronies use their black robes, dirt bikes and blond feathered hair to terrorize the peaceful land of Reseda, Calif., before being defeated by an Italian kid from New Jersey, a Japanese handyman and three unnecessary sequels.
What's Wrong With It?
The Cobra Kai dojo is run by disturbed Vietnam veteran John Kreese (Martin Kove), who teaches his pupils a "no mercy" policy that encourages illegal leg-sweeping and clever heckles such as, "Put him in a body bag!" and "Must be take-a-worm-for-a-walk week!" (Zing!) Additionally, there was the minor drawback that Kreese was a murderous sociopath who encouraged his students to commit murder, and has been known to try to choke his prized pupils to death. Granted, if his ruthless philosophy yielded results, sending your kid there might be worth the presumably steep price (cost of mandatory dirt bike, in addition any legal fees incurred). However, Cobra Kai wasn't even as effective as the training style of one Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita), who led Daniel Laruso (Macchio) to victory at the All Valley Karate Championship by teaching him yoga and making him do chores around the house.
#6. Boss Sauce (Family Matters)
The mysteries of the human genome have fascinated scientists for decades. So who better to blaze the path of genetic exploration than Steven Q. Urkel, the 17-year-old suspender-clad virgin whose primary objective in developing this gene-splitting serum (which complements his DNA-modifying "Transformation Chamber") is hardly the advancement of human evolution. Rather Urkel created the serum to increase his "coolness" and seduce his neighbor's daughter as Steve's suave biological alter ego Stefan Urquelle.
What's Wrong With It?
Not only was Urkel's Boss Sauce developed with questionable motives, its effectiveness is totally subjective. If Stefan Urquelle is meant to represent the pinnacle of manliness, than the ultimate male apparently buttons his silk shirts to the collar and generally behaves like he's in a 1994 Boyz II Men video. "Did I do that?" If by "that" you mean pervert the miracle of evolution to get laid, Mr. Urkel, then yes, you did.

The Bowling Green General Motors Assembly Plant is currently planning for the newest Corvette model, and the new car will require more employees.
"I've got probably close to 150 people who report to work here everyday whose only job it is to work on the next generation car," GM plant manager Dave Tatman says.
Tatman says the new Corvette is expected to be in high demand, which means they need more workers on the assembly line.
"Primarily, in the first half of 2013 we'll be adding both full-time employees and temporary workers in that period of time," he says.
Full-time employees will be hired from within the company, but temporary workers will be hired from the South Central Kentucky area.
"We're still working through all the final numbers. They will be based on timing and when do we want them in and how many we want, but it will be in the neighborhood of about a 100-150 full-time workers and about the equivalent number of temporary workers," Tatman says.
The temporary employees will be needed anywhere from 4-18 months.
Tatman says the plant will close for about a week while they change over from the old corvette to the next-generation.
"There might be some time where we have some temporary lay-offs but it will be measured in days, not in weeks," he says.
Tatman says no one will lose their job during this process.
In fact, that's when he's expecting to train the additional employees to assemble the next-generation Corvette.
New employees will earn $15.50.
In order to apply, you must be referred by a current plant employee.
You will then be put into a pool of applicants from that referral.
You can also apply at the Downtown Bowling Green Unemployment Office.
The application deadline is Friday, Nov. 30.

Is there any length function on additive group of $\mathbb{Q}$ such that $\mathbb{Q}$ is of polynomial growth WRT this length function? What about the multiplicative group of $\mathbb{Q}$ instead?
Yes for $\mathbf{Q}$, no for $\mathbf{Q}^*$.
For $\mathbf{Q}$, write it as the union of an increasing sequence $L_n$ with $L_1=\mathbf{Z}$ and $L_n$ of finite index over $L_1$. Pick a function $F$ with fast growth and define $l'(r)=|r|+F(\sup\{n:r\notin L_n\})$.
For $\mathbf{Q}^*$, it contains a subgroup isomorphic to $\mathbf{Z}^d$ for every $d$, so for every length the growth is at least polynomial of degree $d$. So it can't be polynomial.
Added-1: for $\mathbf{Q}$ we can arrange so that $[L_n:L_1]\le n$ for all $n$. Then we can pick $F$ to be the identity and then the growth is at most quadratic.
Added-2: the argument extends, showing that an abelian group admits a length with polynomial growth iff it's countable and has finite $\mathbf{Q}$-rank.

5 True Stories Cut from Movies for Being Too Unrealistic
As we've repeatedly pointed out, in Hollywood the words "Based on a True Story" are usually just a code for "Vaguely Resembling a True Story, but Mostly Bullshit." Sometimes, the filmmakers feel like they have to lie and make up stuff to make the story more interesting -- but it turns out that other times, they actually have to cut stuff that really happened because it's all so awesome that no one would believe it.
Here are some mind-blowing moments from real life that Hollywood decided were too fantastic, even for their movies.
#5. Public Enemies -- John Dillinger Didn't Take Three People Hostage With a Wooden Gun ... He Took 17
The Scene:
About halfway through Public Enemies, a biopic of Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger (played by Johnny Depp), Dillinger manages to break himself out of jail by whittling a chunk of wood into a shape resembling a pistol, painting it black with shoe polish and then taking three guards hostage as he raided their weapons stores. By the time the guards realized the pistol was fake, Dillinger was already loaded up with real guns.
"Looks like you just got Dillingered."
Believe it or not, they didn't get the idea for this scene from some cartoon -- this was one of Dillinger's most famous escapes. Some of the details are a little off, though ...
The Reality:
According to director Michael Mann, when Dillinger escaped from that prison in real life, it wasn't three guards he tricked into imprisoning themselves like they showed in the movie -- it was 17. If our math is correct, that means that reality is almost six times as awesome as what we got. Dillinger himself wrote in a letter to his sister that it was actually eight deputies and 12 trusties (prisoners with special privileges), bringing the total number of people he duped with a piece of wood up to 20.
Even more impressive was the time he captured an armored car by disguising a hoagie as a bazooka.
Mann, however, decided to make the scene less realistic because it was already unbelievable enough with three hostages. Johnny Depp tricking a bunch of guards with some ridiculous ploy that ends up working seems like something out of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, not a biopic based on reality. There's just no way to put Depp on screen tricking more cops than the number of bullets they thought he had into locking themselves in a jail cell without it looking silly.
Then again, maybe we shouldn't be so surprised that the stunt worked, because the wooden gun apparently still exists, and it turns out that Dillinger cleverly wrote "Colt 38" on one side.
And "Actual Gun, Not a Piece of Wood" on the other.
#4. Cloverfield -- They Made the Statue of Liberty's Head Bigger Than Reality So It Looked "Right"
The Scene:
One of the first images we saw from the movie Cloverfield was that moment where the Statue of Liberty's head is hurled down the street by the as-yet-unseen giant monster attacking New York City. It was by far the most memorable scene in that Internet-breaking first teaser trailer, and possibly in the entire movie itself. As for the rest of the statue, it was plastered on every poster.
Why do you hate freedom so much, Cloverfield monster?
The scene sets the tone of the movie pretty nicely: No matter where you're from, odds are you're familiar with the Statue of Liberty. By now, we've all seen Lady Liberty's face from a hundred different angles in movies and on postcards and patriotic underwear. It's one of the best known and most iconic monuments in the world, and that's why they chose it for the movie -- if the monster had punched out the top of the U.N. building, no one would give a shit.
The Reality:
Of course, the irony is that the filmmakers chose the Statue of Liberty because we all know it so well ... when in fact we really don't. When the special effects people were working on that scene, they tried to make the statue's head as accurate as possible, but they ran into a little problem: People thought the head's actual size was too small and unrealistic. So they had to make it 50 percent larger than it really is.
Here's the head as we see it in the teaser trailer, before the special effects were finished:
"Heads up!"
And here's what we see in the actual movie:
"Inaccurately larger heads up!"
Immediately after the teaser was released, people on the Internet started complaining that the head looked too small. Sure, we're used to seeing the statue by itself on the coast of New York, but bear in mind that for most of us, our only point of reference for its size relative to people is things like this poster for Escape from New York (where the head is about 500 percent too big).
And the streets are about 500 percent too clean.
So in order to decrease the number of people on the Internet bitching about how this space monster movie is inaccurate, the filmmakers had to make it more so. Good job, Internet.
#3. Valkyrie -- Colonel von Stauffenberg Was a Bigger Action Hero Than Tom Cruise
The Scene:
In Valkyrie, Tom Cruise plays Claus von Stauffenberg, a Nazi colonel who tries to assassinate Adolf Hitler and ends up getting executed for his trouble. The movie starts with von Stauffenberg's troops being ambushed by Allied fighter planes, and then we see his wife visiting him at the hospital and learning that he has lost one eye, one hand and two fingers in the explosion.
So at least his obsession with only showing one side of his face is justified.
Von Stauffenberg doesn't let his injuries stop him from doing stuff like planting bombs, shooting guns and trying to overthrow the Nazi government. Hell, just the fact that he learned to dress himself all alone with only three fingers was impressive enough. But movies merge historical figures all the time -- all the badass stuff Tom Cruise does in the movie was probably done by von Stauffenberg and a bunch of other (presumably fully limbed) guys, right?
The Reality:
Nope, the real von Stauffenberg did all the stuff that's in the movie ... and more. Director Bryan Singer had to tone down some of his more badass moments because people wouldn't buy them. For example, we've mentioned before that when von Stauffenberg was being operated on after his injury (that is, when they were amputating 70 percent of his hands), he refused to take any kind of painkiller because he needed to be on top of his game, since orchestrating the assassination of one of the most paranoid dictators in world history is significantly more difficult when you're giggling at the elephant-men humping at the foot of your bed.
"I know you're just an actor, Mr. Chaplin, but would you like to help me kill Hitler?"
Another bit they cut -- presumably for the same reason -- was after von Stauffenberg was released from the hospital and his friends and family saw that he had lost most of his fingers. In the movie, Cruise's kids just sort of look at him with sadness. In real life, however, von Stauffenberg actually joked that he had never known what to do with so many fingers in the first place.
Imagine those words coming out of Tom Cruise's mouth, and how you'd immediately lose all ability to take the film seriously as a true story ever again.

Whether you are in New York City, a global site, or another destination, you should always be alert and watch your valuables. The University is committed to the safety and well-being of its students, faculty, and staff and maintains a security presence in New York and at each global site, but you still have to watch your valuables. Unattended property thefts are the most common crimes which occur. Keeping tabs on your phone, laptop, backpack, and bicycle goes a long way to minimize those crimes from occurring.
Below are some tips on how to be secure in and around campus.

Did you know today's shirt.woot is printing on AA blanks?
Apparently, yesterday's shirt managed to clear Woot out of the Anvil Royal Blue blanks in all the women's and kids's sizes, and men's medium through x-large. Today's first place derby winner is ... on Royal Blue.
So the orange warning box says:
"Men's & Women's Royal Blue Tee sizes are TEMPORARILY printed on American Apparel. Check the sizing chart for details!"
It's been 7 months since I bought a non-side sale item. Buying today's shirt felt ... strange.
That said, checking AA on their wholesale side, they're sold out of Royal Blue in M2XL and M3XL now too, hence why Woot is sold out of those sizes now. I'm sure it's related.
10 Answers answer
@narfcake: thanks for the heads up. I just bought one! I've stopped looking at all the shirt offerings (needless to say no buying) ever since they changed the blanks. I guess Woot is giving us a "feel good moment" as a Christmas gift. Yay!
What is happening to all of the Royal Blue dyes in the western hemisphere?
I needed to order one for my oldest son but they aren't offering it in 2xl - he needs the length because crack kills :(
I was also going to get a 3xl for my mom (she uses them as sleep shirts) another :(
But I did score one for my youngest son :)
can I buy yesterday's Adventure Time shirt in AA? I guess I should just check myself.
It says "Manufactured In: Honduras/Nicaragua" but they are available. I guess I'll buy one and cross my fingers.
@cowboydann: My guess is that you will end up with Anvil when they restock. Judging by the lack of size options for the other blue shirts, I'm a bit puzzled why they're allowing those to be ordered today.
@thumperchick: No idea. It's probably just sheer coincidence that both suppliers are low/out on stock.
@narfcake: well (profanity), that sucks.
Thanks for pointing it out. Now I actually bought one.
Crap, got my hopes up until I saw they're out of 3x :(
@jezebelseven: Yeah, they were sold out this morning already, hence my comment when I originally posted this.
@cowboydann: You could always cancel your order ...
Right now, I'm more puzzled why it's not being sold at all right now, yet the other Anvil Royal Blue shirts in the reckoning still has MS, M2XL, and M3XL available. No doubt, these two days have definitely decimated Woot's stock, and maybe even both manufacturer's.
(Pinging shirt staffers @tgentry, @profhotpants, @joelterrific, and artist @nblottie for statuses ...)
AA, I can't quit you.
Wait, that came out wrong.

Have you noticed that our forum software is long overdue for an upgrade? Looks like it is misbehaving worse than usual as of lately; it stutters, it sputters, it mixes and matches, seemingly at random, quotes and related comments. Take, for instance, the latest example:I can swear this is how it was meant to be:And yet, our poor, old forum software assigned the comment to a rather unrelated thread... go figure.
Um, Russ? There is no rationing of any kind in your example. Straw man argument.
Tell that to family B.
If the camera store has 10 cameras and you get to the store before me and buy the last one, that's not rationing. That's family A, they just happened to get there before family B did.
And it'll leave out the quoted bits in my requote, but..... the thing that some folks (or one folk) seem to have missed was the graemlin I inserted at the end of my original comment intending humour. Sort of like that. Or that. Oy.
Bravo Rocco!
Warriors both!1. Oft wondered about the unearned increment-How does it make sense that everyone rich and poor,is usually about a paycheck or two from disaster?2. Because prices on everything go up to suit the people (you and me)and their sense of entitlement.You want to hear of an entitlement program I want to see dropped?Done away with completely?3. Equity and the time value of money.The most ridiculous scam in the history of mankind.
The price of everything has risen. 1 word-gas
Hell, from where I'm sitting Nikon prices look like real bargains.
So who's to blame? Nikon in Spain, hidden Spanish taxation? You never find out - you just have to pay.

CRESTVIEW, Fla. (AP) -- Panhandle investigators are trying to find out why an Alabama woman's body was moved after her death.
The 28-year-old woman was found dead on Sunday in a lawn chair in the driveway of Crestview home.
But the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office told the Northwest Florida Daily News that Jaquiline Maria Roughton was moved to the chair after she died.
Florida investigators say they are working with Alabama investigators to learn the circumstances surrounding Roughton's death.
Autopsy results are pending. Investigators say the body showed no visible signs of trauma.

With the end of the academic year approaching, students are talking about their summer plans. Summer is a wonderful time to relax and rejuvenate, but students might not realize it also provides an opportunity to take beneficial steps towards career goals. Whether your son/daughter is a first-year or sophomore who is exploring majors and careers or a junior or senior looking at applying for internships, jobs, graduate schools or volunteer opportunities, the summer is a great time to get ahead in their career.
Your student can avoid library fines by returning all library items before leaving for the summer. All library books for undergraduate students are due on Friday, May 10. Replacement cost will be billed for any material not returned.
To extend due dates into the summer students should check with the circulation desks. They will be able to renew starting May 7.
Does your son or daughter procrastinate? We know all about it, and we don't judge. That's why the librarians offer drop-in research help for last-minute needs. Our extensive drop-in hours are posted on the library website.
Saint John's invites you to a unique event-the first ever Johnnie spring football game at 7 p.m. May 10 in Clemens Stadium under the lights. Please keep in mind this is on a Friday night, the same weekend as graduation for CSB (May 11) and SJU (May 12). This will be a free event but donations will be accepted at the gate to assist the football team's travel to an international game May 18 in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.
CSB Campus Ministry invites the CSB graduates, their parents, family and friends to attend either the 9:30 a.m. or the 11 a.m. graduation mass in the Sacred Heart Chapel. It is a wonderful way to begin this special day. We hope to fill the chapel at these masses and bless our graduates as they prepare to step out and take their place in the world.
Shop the CSB/SJU Boosktores for all your graduation needs. We have gifts for the graduating class, as well as gifts for high school graduates who will be coming to CSB/SJU this fall.

I have installed (compiled) emerald. The command
make uninstall didn't work (there is no makefile as it is just a script). So I decided to remove the file manually. But there were a lot of files.
I've tried some things but it didn't work. So I came here to ask for some advice.
- Is there a command with
ls -R | grep blabla*that I can add to display file directory (it only displays filename)
- Is there a true
ls -R | grep bla* | rm?

I was playing around with Pushover, and had the thought that it would be cool if I could use it as an argument on any random command, so that it would run a pushover script at the end of the task, regardless of what that task was.
I have no idea if it's possible, or how I would go about it, but I'd like to learn.
This question on the RasPi Stack Exchange site is what got me thinking about it. But I think there are many things it would be useful for, like letting you know when that compile job is finally finished, and maybe if it was successful.
I had the thought that it could look something like:
$ apt-get -b source packagename -pushover "Compile job complete."
The thought being that the argument '-pushover [enter message text here]' after any command would execute the pushover script, and use their API to notify you via their app.
So I guess the question is, is it possible to do in this fashion? If so, where do I start? If not, are there better ways to accomplish the same thing, without being limited by what command you are running?
I'm not locked on the idea of using it as a command argument, but I do want a way to run it with any command, without writing a separate script for each one.
I am new to Linux, so if it is a non-starter idea, I'll take that answer, too, provided there are logical explanations of why it won't work to go with it.

During the first trimester of pregnancy, which lasts approximately fourteen weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period, your body is hard at work forming one of the most intricate and complex works of nature. By the end of your first official month of pregnancy (six weeks after your last menstrual period, but four weeks since conception), your developing child will have grown an astonishing 10,000 times in size.
Making its longest journey until the big move nine months from now, your developing baby (called a zygote, or fertilized ovum) travels from the fallopian tube and into the uterus (or womb). By day four, the zygote has formed a small solid cluster of cells known as a morula.
By day five or six, the morula grows to a blastocyst. Within days, the blastocyst nestles into the nutrient-rich lining of your uterus (the endometrium) as implantation begins. About fifteen days after conception, the blastocyst becomes an embryo. Next to the embryo floats the yolk sac, a cluster of blood vessels that provide blood for the embryo at this early stage until the placenta takes over.
As month one draws to a close, your baby's heart is beating, lung buds have appeared, and construction of the gastrointestinal system and liver are underway. The neural tube, the basis of the baby's central nervous system, has developed and the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain are defined. He (or she) is starting to look more like a person, too. Arm and leg buds-complete with the beginnings of both feet and hands-are visible. It's an amazing list of accomplishments considering your baby is about the size of a raisin (less than ¾ inch long).
At this point in your pregnancy, you might not notice any significant changes in shape and size. You may feel some of the following changes, though. Note which you are experiencing so you can look back on the progress of your pregnancy and discuss any concerns you have with your healthcare provider.
Pregnancy is a time of great anticipation as you head out into uncharted waters. Worries about the baby's health and the possibility of miscarriage are common fears early in pregnancy. Although it may be easier said than done, letting go of your anxieties, at least for a little while, is the best thing for you and your baby right now.
Here are some ways to deal with anxiety about miscarriage and stress about the pregnancy:
Set up your first prenatal care visit as soon as you know you are pregnant. For now through the seventh month, you'll be seeing your provider on a monthly basis (unless you are considered high risk, in which case you may have more frequent appointments). If you still haven't chosen a provider, now is the time to do so.
When you go to the doctor or midwife for your first checkup, you will likely experience the following:
Most providers determine gestational age (how far along you are) from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). If you have a regular twenty-eight-day cycle, you can figure out your own estimated due date.
For example, if your last period began on September 1, you would go back through August 1 and July 1 to June 1. Then add seven days to come up with an estimated due date of June 8. An alternate method is to count 280 days (40 weeks) from the first day of your last period.
For some nutritional insurance, your doctor or midwife is likely to prescribe a prenatal vitamin containing most, if not all, of these nutrients.
|__ Calcium
|__ Riboflavin
|__ Vitamin C
|__ Copper
|__ Thiamin
|__ Vitamin D
|__ Folic acid
|__ Vitamin A
|__ Vitamin E
|__ Iron
|__ Vitamin B6
|__ Zinc
|__ Magnesium
|__ Vitamin B12
If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor or midwife immediately:
While a good dose of common sense should be used in contacting your doctor or midwife after hours, in most cases better safe than sorry applies. Trust your instincts. If something just doesn't feel right to you, make the call.

What is the meaning of the idiom to grow a funny bone? What does funny bone refer to? Googling shows only places where it was mentioned.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
I've never heard the whole expression as such, but it can be broken down in to two common idioms:
funny bone: a sense of humor.
"Grow [something]" : You lack [a personality trait represented by that thing]. In particular, it's used as a sarcastic criticism of the person, suggesting the person would benefit by having more of it.
A fairly common usage is the phrase "Grow some balls", with balls meaning testicles, and thus courage or fortitude.
So "Grow a funny bone" means "You don't have a sense of humor". You might say it if you make a joke and someone gets unreasonably offended by it.
It means "to obtain a sense of humour" - implying of course that the subject of the remark doesn't have one.
The "funny bone" is a nickname for the humerus, a bone in the arm. The actual bone doesn't have anything to do with having a sense of humour, of course.
The "funny bone" is the nickname for "a long bone in the arm or forelimb that runs from the shoulder to the elbow", whose technical name is the humerus. I think it is fair to say that the nickname is based on a play on words (i.e. Humerus/Humerous), although my mother always maintained it was "funny" because it sends tingles up your arm in a funny way if you knock it.
According to Google N-Grams, this nickname has been in popular use since the early 19th century.
The phrase "Grow a funny bone" is not one I've come across before, but I think it is safe to say that it must mean:
A quick look again at Google N-Grams suggests that it is certainly not a common expression(!)
I wonder where you heard it, and whether the person who told you it had made it up themselves.

Misty Arnold will soon be officially named as the new head volleyball coach at Pratt Community College. Although not officially under contract yet, she is already on the job.
Following the sudden and abrupt departure of Brian Dickens earlier in the season, Kelley Maydew served as interim coach until a permanent replacement for Dickens could be found.
That replacement is Misty Arnold. She comes to PCC off the staff of Hutchinson Community College (and former PCC) coach Patrick Hall. Maydew will stay on as an assistant.
On Saturday, the Pratt Community College volleyball team picked up a win by besting Frank Phillips (TX) in a 5 set thriller.
Pratt won the first two games 25-17 and 26-24 but Frank Phillips controlled the next two games 25-18 and 25-14.
In the deciding set it was PCC in a 15-13 nailbiter to send the Lady Beavers to the winner's circle for the first time since mid-September.
On Wednesday, PCC traveled to Concordia and swept Cloud County 3-0. Scores in the dominating performance by the Lady Beavers were 25-19; 25-19; 25-15. PCC had earlier beaten the Clouds at home in Maydew's debut.
The Beavers are now 7-17 (3-7 conference). Their next scheduled match against Seminole was this Saturday, but has been cancelled. Therefore, PCC next hits the hardwood vs. Barton County Tuesday, October 16 for a 6:30 p.m. match in the Dennis Lesh Sports Arena.

Webinar: Sexual and Interpersonal Violence in the LGBTQ Community: Providing LGBTQ Affirmative Services
A 90-minute webinar presented by Philip McCabe, Health Educator at UMDNJ and leader of NJ Gay Health Initiative Project.
Sexual violence is any act (verbal and/or physical) which breaks a person's trust and/or safety and is sexual in nature.Heterosexism and homo/trans phobia in our culture puts LGBTQ people at greater risk for sexual assault. It is common for perpetrators to use sexual violence as a way to punish and humiliate someone for being LGBTQ, and/or for sexual assault to be one type of violence that occurs during an anti-LGBTQ battering. Interpersonal violence can also occur between same sex domestic partners, former partners, other family members, friends, co workers and others known to the victim. Providers can benefit from understanding the difficulty for LGBTQ victims to receive services as well as what considerations can be beneficial for providing LGBTQ affirmative, trauma informed services.
As a result of this webinar participants will:
*Analyze the prevalence and consequences of sexual violence as it pertains to LGBTQ individuals.
*Describe special considerations in working with victims of same-gender violence and also individuals who identify as LGBTQ and are victims of opposite gender sexual violence.
Participants will use GoToMeeting to join the webinar. After you register, you will receive an email with instructions for participating.
Date: June 17, 2013
Time: 2:00p-3:30p
Location: GoToMeeting.com
Fee: $10/person
Register for the webinar here. Once completed, you will then be redirected to NJCASA's website to pay your registration fee. Please allow your browser to redirect, or your registration will not be complete. If you need to complete your payment later, you may do so here.

The NCOE Board of Education met Wednesday, April 17 and heard from Dr. Cliff Karnes about a recent conference call that he and other area superintendents had with State Superintendent Chris Koch. The call was implemented by Representative David Reis and Senator Dale Righter.
The superintendents had the opportunity to discuss unequal funding through the state and how unfunded mandates are creating additional workloads for everyone in the schools.
Karnes told the Board that the Governor has asked for state aid funding at 81% and the ISBE has requested 100% so districts will have to wait until a compromise is reached for final entitlement.
Matching state maintenance grants of $50,000 are also available for Life Safety projects until May 31. The use of the grant will be limited so Karnes will check to see if it is feasible to apply and report at the May meeting.
The 2012-2013 calendar was amended to drop the four emergency days at the end of the year. Students will pick up their report cards on Friday May 24. High School Graduation will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, May 17 in the gym. NCO 8th grade will graduate at 6 p.m. Monday, May 20 followed by Booth graduation at 7:30 p.m.
The 2013-2014 calendar was approved also. There will be teacher workshop days Aug. 15 and 16 with the first day of pupil attendance on Monday, Aug.19. The last day of school, if all five emergency days are used, will be June 3, 2014.
The board approved the Senior Trip from May 6-10. Again this year, four students will have the honor to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery. Students will tour Mt. Vernon; several buildings of the Smithsonian Museum; the monuments; have an evening tour of the Capitol with Rep. John Shimkus; and visit Gettysburg and Hershey, Pa. on the way home.
After a 55 minutes closed session, the Board accepted the retirement letters from Leatha Martin and Glenna Thompson, effective at the end of the year. They also accepted the resignations of Brittany Ramsey as NCO cheer coach and Jimmy Foster as NCO basketball coach. Brooklyn Naas was employed as the high school cheer coach for the 2013-14 school year.
In other business the Board-
--Agreed to move funds from Working Cash to Capital Projects to balance that account.
--Held the first reading of several Board policies.
--Will hold a special meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 30 to seat elected board members following the April 9 election.
--Will hold the May meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 14 due to Baccalaureate at 7 p.m. on May 15.
