Jobs in Biology
There are many jobs available to individuals with degrees in biology. A Ph.D. is usually required for independent research, but a bachelor's or master's degree is sufficient for many careers in applied research, product development, and health care, as well as many nonresearch jobs. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, job competition can be quite high for doctoral degree holders seeking independent research positions, however those with bachelor's or master's degrees generally have ample employment opportunities.
Many jobs for biologists are in fields such as Health Care, Research and Development, Agriculture, Environmental Sciences, Education, Public Health, Government Agencies, and Forensic Science.
Where Biologists Work
The U.S. Department of Labor statistics indicate that about 40% of biological scientists work for the government in some capacity, while most of the rest work in pharmaceutical and biotechnology establishments, hospitals, or research and testing laboratories. Many biologists also go on to hold teaching positions in universities, colleges, and secondary schools. Here is a list of some employers of biologists:
- Pharmaceutical Companies
- Biotechnology Firms
- Veterinary Medicine
- Colleges and Universities
- Hospitals
- Public health facilities
- Zoos and Aquariums
- Arboretums
- Fish and Wildlife Service
- National Institutes of Health
- Government Laboratories
- Research Laboratories
- Environmental Agencies
- Conservation Agencies
- Inspection Agencies
- Control Boards
- Agricultural Industry
- Manufactures of lab equipment
- Manufactures medical supplies
- Research foundations
- Cosmetic companies
- Chemical manufacturers
- Dental Heath facilities
- Museums
The Future of Biology
Although no one can predict the future, job growth in biology continues to be higher than the national average. The biological sciences experienced rapid growth in the 80's and 90's, mostly because of the growth of major biotechnology companies. Unfortunately, competition for jobs will almost certainly remain high for those seeking independent research positions. However, the future is brighter for those looking for science-related jobs in sales, marketing, and research management, or as engineering technicians, health technologists and technicians.

Don Chadderton's dream came true in 1973 when the first New
Zealand secondary schools championships were held in
He was a member of the organising committee that ran the
event at the QE2 athletics stadium later used for the 1974
Commonwealth Games.
Chadderton was a member of the executive committee that ran
the event for 19 years and has included four chapters on the
championships in his book Sixty Plus Wonderful Years in
He will be in Dunedin this weekend for the 40th annual
championships at the Caledonian Ground.
''It will be good to chew the fat with many from around the
country who were involved at the first meeting in 1973,''
Chadderton said.
''While the organising committee was preparing for that
inaugural championships, we were watching QE2 rise from some
sandhills on the edge of an abandoned racecourse on the edge
of a swamp.
''Unfortunately, QE2 is reverting back into old sandhills on
the edge of a swamp.''
The organising committee began planning for the event in 1972
and called for entries during the second term of 1973.
The championships enabled pupils from small country schools
to compete on equal terms against athletes from the big city
schools. It could not be done in team sports like rugby,
cricket or netball.
''The sprinting finals were exciting and included athletes
from places of which I was scarcely aware,'' Chadderton
writes in his book.
''Little Maira Matkovich from Kaitaia won both junior
''The final of the senior girls 800m was a show-stopper, as
two picturesque blondes, Diane Zorn amd Alison Deed, fought
out a close race.
''Many officials virtually downed tools to watch the close
battle between the two girls, who were later better known as
Diane Rodger and Alison Roe.''
The event was revolutionary because it was the first time
boys and girls from secondary schools had competed together
in an interschool athletics event.
''Our first championships proved that it was possible to
organise a meeting that catered for both boys and girls,''
Chadderton said.
''Around the country, boys and girls had competed in separate
interschool championships.
''Little did we know that we had established a championship
that was to have such a lasting impact upon athletics in New
Zealand. Perhaps even now few appreciate how our little group
changed the sport for young New Zealanders.''
The secondary schools championships introduced a wider range
of events for girls before Athletics New Zealand: track walk
1979 (Athletics New Zealand 1985), triple jump 1986 (1991),
hammer throw 1988 (1992), pole vault 1988 (1997),
steeplechase 1991 (2001).

When it comes to parties and celebrations, I always tend towards Mexican cuisine. As my dad likes to say, "Mexican food is fun." He says that because he knows some Mexican food can be greasy, something you would eat with a drink at a bar or a party.
I decided to make some healthy Mexican appetizers and snacks for the Super Bowl. I know a lot of people love eating spicy food and would be happy with some good hot salsa, guacamole, and chips. So, I had to make it spicy. These recipes have a kick with the jalapeño I added, but you can control the heat by adding less or substituting green bell pepper instead. I have made Naked Sliders, Fajita Skewers, and Guacamole for you. I have also added a link to my previous post on Pico de Gallo salsa if you would like to add that at your party too. My thought was to make something quick and easy so you could prepare it a day in advance if you needed too, but ultimately spend most of the time watching the game and hanging with friends instead of cooking. I also wanted to give you the option to grill outside. Enjoy the Super Bowl!
Naked Sliders: 18 mini sliders
Fajita Skewers: 8 skewers
Guacamole: about 2 cups
*Chef's secret: to check doneness, stick the tip of a paring knife into the center of the slider and leave for 10-15 seconds. Then touch the knife to your bottom lip carefully for a brief second, flat side of course. If it's really hot, the slider is done. But be careful not to burn yourself.

Read an Excerpt
"Is there a key you have to the Ladies' Room?"
The attendant's eyes moved past her, to the four men outside, and back again. "No, it's broken, you can't use it. Go down the road someplace."
"Maybe it's all right now," the girl said. "Have you looked at it? Sometimes they get all right by themselves."
The attendant was shaking his head now. "I'm telling you it's broken. Take my word for it and go someplace else, all right?"
"What about the other one?" the girl said. "The Men's Room."
"It's broken too. Both of 'em are broken."
"See, we go in separately," the girl went on. "The men, they come out, then I go in. So you don't have to call the cops, say we're doing it in there."
"I can call the cops right now." The attendant's voice was louder, irritated. "I'm telling you both toilets are broken. You got to go someplace else."
"Where do you go?" the girl said. She waited a moment, not looking around but knowing the four men were close to the doorway now, and could hear her.
The attendant said, "I'm warning you--"
And the girl said, "Maybe you never go, uh? That's why you're full of shit."
The migrants grinned, some of them laughed out loud and there were words in Spanish, though the girl continued to stare at the attendant calmly, almost without expression.
The attendant turned to a counter and came around with a wrench in his hand, his jaw set tightly. Majestyk reached over to put a hand on the man's arm.
He said, "When did the toilet break? Since I used it?"
"Listen, I got to do what I'm told." He pulled his arm away from Majestyk and lowered his voice then, though the tension was stillthere. "Like anybody else. The boss says don't let no migrants in the toilets. He says I don't care they dancing around like they can taste it, don't let them in the toilets. They go in there, mess up the place, piss all over, take a bath in the sink, use all the towels, steal the toilet paper, man, it's like a bunch of pigs was in there. Place is filthy, I got to clean up after."
"Let them use it," Majestyk said.
"I tell you what my boss said. Man, I can't do nothing about it."
"What're they supposed to do?"
"Go out in the bushes, I don't know. Mister, you have any idea how many migrants stop here?"
"I know what they can do," Majestyk said. He turned from the attendant to the nice-looking Chicano girl, noticing now that she was wearing small pearl earrings.
"He says for all of you to come inside."
"I want them out of here!"
"He says he's sorry the toilets are broken."
"They're always broken," the girl said. "Every place they keep the broken toilets locked up so nobody steal them."
Majestyk was looking at her again. "You come here to work?"
"For the melons or whatever time it is. Last month we were over at Yuma."
"You know melons, uh?"
"Melons, onions, lettuce, anything you got."
"You want to work today?"
The girl seemed to think about it and then shrugged and said, "Yeah, well, since we forgot our golf clubs we might as well, uh?"
"After you go to the bathroom." Majestyk's gaze, with the soft hint of a smile, held on her for another moment.
"First things first," the girl said.
"Listen, I don't say they can't use them," the attendant said now. "You think I own this place? I work here."
"He says he works here," Majestyk said.
The girl nodded. "We believe it."
"And he says since the toilets are broken you can use something else." Majestyk's gaze moved away, past the attendant and the shelves of lube oil and the cash register and the coffee and candy machines, taking in the office.
"What're you doing?" The attendant was frowning, staring at him. "Listen, they can't use something else. They got to get out of here."
Majestyk's gaze stopped, held for a moment before coming back to the attendant. "He says use the wastebasket if you want," and motioned to the migrants with his hands. "Come on. All of you, come on in."
As two of the migrants came in hesitantly behind the girl, grinning, enjoying it, and the other two moved in closer behind her, the attendant said, "Jesus Christ, you're crazy! I'm going to call the police, that's what I'm going to do."
"Try and hold on to yourself," Majestyk said to him quietly. "You don't own this place. You don't have to pay for broken windows or anything. What do you care?"
The phone was on the desk in front of him, but the Enco gas station man with Gil over his shirt pocket, who had never been farther away from this place than Phoenix, hesitated now, afraid to reach for the phone or even look at it. What would happen if he did? Christ, what was going on here? He didn't know this guy Vincent Majestyk. Christ, a cold, quiet guy, he didn't know anything about him except he grew melons. He'd hardly ever seen him before.
"How do you want it?" Majestyk said to the attendant.
Watching him, the migrants were grinning, beginning to glance at each other, confident of this man for no reason they knew of but feeling it, enjoying it, stained and golden smiles softening dark faces and bringing life to their eyes, expressions that separated them as individuals able to think and feel, each one a person now, each one beginning to laugh to himself at this gas station man and his boss and his wastebasket and his toilets he could keep locked or shove up his ass for all they cared. God, it was good; it was going to be something to tell about.
"Let them use the toilets," Majestyk said to the attendant. "All right?"
The attendant held on another moment, as if thinking it over, letting them know he was not being forced into anything but was making up his own mind. He shrugged indifferently then and nodded to two keys that were attached to flat pieces of wood and hung from the wall next to the door.
"Keys're right there," the attendant said. "Just don't take all day."
This morning they were here for the melons: about sixty of them waiting patiently by the two stake trucks and the old blue-painted school bus. Most of them, including the few women here, were Chicano migrants, who had arrived in their old junk cars that were parked in a line behind the trucks. Others, the Valley Agricultural Workers Association had brought out from Phoenix, dropping them off at 5:30 A.M. on the outskirts of Edna, where the state road came out of the desert to cross the U.S. highway. The growers and the farm workers called it Junction. There was an Enco gas station on the corner, then a storefront with a big V.A.W.A. sign in the window that was the farm labor hiring hall--closed until next season--and then a café-bar with a red neon sign that said BEER-WINE. The rest of the storefronts in the block were empty--dark, gutted structures that were gradually being destroyed by the desert wind.
The farm workers stood around on the sidewalk waiting to be hired, waiting for the labor contractors to finish their coffee, finish talking to the foremen and the waitresses, and come out and point to them and motion them toward the stake trucks and the blue-painted school bus.
The dozen or so whites were easy to spot. Most of them were worn-out looking men in dirty, worn-out clothes that had once been their own or someone else's good clothes. A tight little group of them was drinking Thunderbird, passing the wine bottle around in a paper bag. A couple of them were sipping from beer cans. Two teenaged white boys with long hair stood off by themselves, hip-cocked, their arms folded over tight white T-shirts, not seeming to mind the early morning chill. They would look around casually and squint up at the pale sky.
The Chicanos, in their straw hats and baseball caps, plaid shirts, and Levis or khakis, with their lunch in paper bags, felt the chill. They would look at the sky knowing it was near the end of the season and soon most of them would be heading for California, to the Imperial and San Joaquin valleys. Some of them--once in a while for something to do--would shield their faces from the light and look in the window of the hiring hall, at the rows of folding chairs, at the display of old V.A.W.A. strike posters and yellowed newspaper pages with columns marked in red. They would stare at the photograph of Emiliano Zapata on the wall behind the counter, at the statue of the Virgin Mary on a stand, and try to read the hand-lettered announcements: Todo el mundo está invitado que venga a la resada--
Larry Mendoza came out of the café-bar with a carry-out cup of coffee in each hand--one black, one cream and sugar--and walked over to the curb, beyond the front of the old blue-painted school bus. Some of the farm workers stared at him--a thin, bony-shouldered, weathered-looking Chicano in clean Levis and high-heeled work boots, a Texas straw funneled low over his eyes and one of them, also a Chicano, said, "Hey, Larry, tell Julio you want me. Tell him write my name down at the top." Larry Mendoza glanced over at the man and nodded, but didn't say anything.
Another one said, "How much you paying, Larry? Buck forty?"
He nodded again and said, "Same as everybody." He felt them watching him because he was foreman out at Majestyk and could give some of them jobs. He knew how they felt, hoping each day to get their names on a work list. He had stood on this corner himself, waiting for a contractor to point to him. He had started in the fields for forty cents an hour. He'd worked for sixty cents, seventy-five cents. Now he was making eighty dollars a week, all year: he got to drive the pickup any time he wanted and his family lived in a house with an inside toilet. He wished he could hire all of them, assure each man right now that he'd be working today, but he couldn't do that. So he ignored them, looking down the sidewalk now toward the Enco station where the attendant was pumping gas into an old-model four-wheel-drive pickup that was painted yellow, its high front end pointing this way. Larry Mendoza stood like that, his back to the school bus and the farm workers, waiting, then began to sip the coffee with cream and sugar.
The Enco gas station attendant, with the name Gil stitched over the pocket of his shirt, watched the numbers changing in the window of the pump and began to squeeze the handle of the nozzle that curved into the gas tank filler, slowing the rotation of the numbers, easing them in line to read three dollars even, and pulled the nozzle out of the opening.
When he looked over at the station he saw the guy who owned the pickup stepping out of the Men's Room, coming this way across the pavement--a dark, solemn-faced man who might have passed for a Chicano except for his name. Vince Majestyk. Hard-looking guy, but always quiet, the few times he had been there. Vincent Majestyk of MAJESTYK BRAND MELONS that was lettered on the doors of the pickup and made him sound like a big grower. Shit, he looked more like a picker than a grower. Maybe a foreman, with his khaki pants and blue shirt. From what the station attendant had heard about him, the guy was scratching to get by and probably wouldn't be around very long. Comes in, buys three bucks worth of gas. Big deal.
He said, "That's all you want?"
The guy, Majestyk, looked over at him as he walked past the front of the pickup. "If you're not too busy you can wipe the bugs off the windshield," he said, and kept going, over toward the school bus and the farm workers crowding around.
The gas station attendant said to himself, Shit. Get up at five in the morning to sell three bucks' worth. Wait around all day and watch the tourists drive by. Four-thirty sell the migrants each a buck's worth. Shit.
Larry Mendoza handed Majestyk the cup of black coffee and the two of them stood watching as Julio Tamaz, a labor contractor, looked over the waiting groups of farm workers, called off names and motioned them to the school bus. There were already men aboard, seated, their heads showing in the line of windows.
"We're almost ready to go," Mendoza said.
"Good ones?" Majestyk took a sip of coffee.
"The best he's got."
"Bob Santos," the labor contractor called out. "And . . . Anbrocio Verrara."
"They're good," Mendoza said.
"Luis Ortega!"
A frail old man grinned and hurried toward the bus.
"Wait a minute," Mendoza said. "I don't know him. He ever picked before?"
Julio Tamaz, the labor contractor, turned to them with a surprised look. "Luis? All his life. Man, he was conceived in a melon field." Julio's expression brightened, relaxed in a smile as he looked at Majestyk. "Hey, Vincent, nice to see you."
Mendoza said, "That's thirty. We want any more 'n that?"
Majestyk was finishing his coffee. He lowered the cup. "If Julio's got any like to work for nothing."
"Man," Julio said, "you tight with the dollar. Like to squeeze it to death."
"How's my credit?"
"Vincent"--Julio's expression was sad now--"I told you. What do I pay them with?"
"All right, I just wondered if you'd changed your mind." He took a fold of bills out of his pants pocket and handed them to the labor contractor. "Straight buck forty an hour, ten hours' work for a crew of thirty comes to four hundred and twenty. Don't short anybody."
Julio seemed offended now. "I take my percent. I don't need to cheat them."
"Larry'll ride with you," Majestyk said. "He finds anybody hasn't slipped honeydew melons before, they come back with you and we get a refund. Right?"
"Man, I never give you no bums. These people all experts."
Majestyk had already turned away and was walking back to the Enco station.
The attendant with the name Gil on his shirt was standing by the pickup.
"That's three bucks."
Majestyk reached into a back pocket for his wallet this time. He took out a five-dollar bill and handed it to the attendant, who looked at the bill and then at Majestyk. Without a word he turned and leisurely walked off toward the station. Majestyk watched him for a moment, knowing the guy was going to make him wait. He walked off after the guy and followed him into the station, but still had to wait while the guy fooled around at the cash register, shifting bills around in the cash drawer and breaking open a roll of coins.
"Take your time," Majestyk said.
When the bell rang he turned to see a car pulling into the station: an old-model Ford sedan that was faded blue-purple and rusting out, and needed a muffler. He watched the people getting out, moving slowly, stretching and looking around. There seemed to be more of them than the car could hold.
The station attendant was saying, "I'm short of singles. I'll have to give you some change."
There were five of them, four men in work clothes and a young woman, migrants, looking around, trying to seem at ease. The young woman took a bandana from her head and, raising her face in the sunlight, closing her eyes, shook her hair from side to side, freeing it in the light breeze that came across the highwav stirring sand dust. She was a good-looking girl, nice figure in pants and a T-shirt, in her early twenties, or maybe even younger. Very good-looking. Not self-conscious now, as though she was alone with whatever was behind her closed eyes. Two of the men went to the pop machine digging coins out of their pockets.
Beyond the girl the blue-painted school bus passed the station and the state road intersection, moving east down the highway.
"Here you are," the attendant said.
Majestyk held out his hand and the attendant dropped eight quarters into his palm, four at a time.
"Three, that's four and five. Hurry back and see us now."
Majestyk didn't say anything. He gave the guy a little smile. He had enough to think about and wasn't going to let the guy bother him. When he turned to the doorway he had to stop short. The girl, holding the bandana, was coming in and their eyes met for a moment--nice eyes, brown--before she looked past him toward the attendant.

I'm looking for an rss parser which displays posts by oldest first.
Can your plugin do that ?
I'm looking for an rss parser which displays posts by oldest first.
Can your plugin do that ?
Right now it only pulls the latest X posts from a given feed. Let me look into this and see what I can do.
yeah, all parsers do that but I'm trying to list a feed with event items which have eventdate as pubdate, so oldest needs to show first.
I had the same problem when I used Super RSS Reader on a project a few weeks ago, I found this thread extremely helpful.
I used http://www.allenweiss.com/wp_plugin which has that option to reverse the order.
sweet thanks, that sound like a much better option than messing about in the core files of wordpress.
For the record, this is on my feature list for a future release.
to overcome this i updated the plugin like so...
following jp2112's pattern of deriving short codes form constants (none of which really needs to exist) i just added at line 213:
$temp_sortorder = constant('JPGRF_DEFAULT_SORTORDER_NAME');
$sortorder = $$temp_sortorder;
then right after this line:
$rss_items = $rss->get_items(0, $maxitems);
i added:
if($sortorder == 'oldestfirst' ) { $rss_items = array_reverse($rss_items); }
by default get_items() is arranging the items by 'newestfirst'. so i just had the code reverse if the shortcodes asks for it to be.
This will be available in the next version.

Supported Layouts and Capacities
This B&B in Twillingate is a very affordable Bed and Breakfast - with a fabulous view. We stayed in the room upstairs with ensuite bath. We had a view of the water from the side window. The accomodations were clean and comfortable. We will stay there again when we travel back to Newfoundland. The B&B is very biker friendly but there were families staying there as well. If you stay here you must go and have the fresh fish and chips in the restaurant across the street (owned by the same owner). My husband a Nova Scotian by birth - said it was the best fish and chips he has ever had! It was affordable/clean/and convenient. One of the most affordable B&B's in Twillingate. Well worth the money. C Cooper Nepean, Ontario

"The Alaskan lottery" Nenana by sswagner
Nenana Travel Guide: 29 reviews and 61 photos
Nenana is situated on the river by the same name between Denali National Park and Fairbanks. It is famous for the unique lottery held here every year. When the river ices over, a tripod with a clock is set up on it. From the moment the tripod is set out, someone observes it from a watchstation so that the tripod is left undisturbed. When you buy the lottery ticket, you are to guess the exact time and date that you think this tripod will fall through the ice during the spring. This is the date and time that you write on the ticket. Then, you drop the ticket in a can. If you are closest to that time, then you win the lottery. I played and missed it by about a day. Not too bad, I guess.
- Pros:Scenic setting on the Nenana River
- Cons:Gets cold in the river.
- In a nutshell:The lottery and story behind it is interesting

Hey, my website is messed up after the last wordpress update, and probably also related to some plugin updates. It's for the website: www.onekeystory.com - the website got totally messed up about 1,5 months ago. I'm not really sure of the reason why. But we need to get it fixed, my developer friend told me that what we need to do is: Make a new installation of wordpress on a separate server, then install and set up our theme, then export --> import and move around the necessary child theme files for it to work as before - or something like that. if you check here: http://web.archive.org/web/20160111205518/http://onekeystory.com/ - you can better see what it looked like before it messed up. - And for the top, we had a video background with dark overlay and headline/subheadline + play video button - with revolution slider. So, if you think you can help us fix our website, and make sure that this doesn't happen in the future, I look forward to receiving your application.

I remember being able to set the category slug at some point. I don't know why it cannot be modified. This is especially important since I am considering placing the slug in the URLs going forward.

Archaeobotanical evidence for Near Eastern einkorn wheat, barley, and Chinese rice suggests that the fixation of key domestication traits such as non-shattering was slower than has often been assumed. This suggests a protracted period of pre-domestication cultivation, and therefore implies that both in time and in space the initial start of cultivation was separated from eventual domestication, when domesticated and wild populations would have become distinct gene pools. Archaeobotanical evidence increasingly suggests more pathways to cultivation than are represented by modern domesticated crop lines, including apparent early experiments with cultivation that did not lead to domestication, and early domesticates, such as two-grained einkorn and striate-emmeroid wheats, which went extinct in prehistory. This diverse range of early crops is hard to accommodate within a single centre of origin for all early Near Eastern cultivars, despite suggestions from genetic datasets that single origins from a single centre ought to be expected. This apparent discrepancy between archaeobotany and genetics highlights the need for modelling the expected genetic signature of different domestication scenarios, including multiple origins. A computer simulation of simple plant populations with 20 chromosomes was designed to explore potential differences between single and double origins of domesticated populations as they might appear in genomic datasets millennia later. Here we report a new simulation of a self-pollinating (2% outbreeding) plant compared to panmictic populations, and find that the general outcome is similar with multiple starts of cultivation drifting towards apparent monophyly in genome-wide phylogenetic analysis over hundreds of generations. This suggests that multiple origins of cultivation of a given species may be missed in some forms of modern genetic analysis, and it highlights the need for more complex modelling of population genetic processes associated with the origins of agriculture.

Trying to display a full post on my homepage.
Here is the code I came across on the forum:
[display_posts include_content="true"]
If the id of the post I want to display is 44, how do I alter the code?
Also, instead of id'ing a post each time, is there a way to default always to the most recent blog post in the shortcode?
Thank you.

30 reviews | 4.8 out of 5
I purchased this product because I wanted to have all of the components ie. cable box receiver etc. in a closet out of sight, and there wasn't a way to achive this in a DVD/ Surround system without running an IR transmitter eye ( They have been a headache in the past ). Also you don't have to go into the closet to change DVD's. The price was right, $500 @ Walmart, at least $100-$200 less than anywhere else. Sound quality is excellent. Friends can't tell it's "simulated surround". Unless they try and find the speakers behind them. Video quality is great also. I hope the pic shows up. The install was easy and looks great mounted under a 50" plasma and the sub is to the right of the Pellet Stove. The only Cons are 1) Needs a "Blueray" option. 2) The cord from the Sub to the Sound Bar doesn't disconnect at the Sub. Our family has been movie freaks since install.
We found this product to meet our expectations for a home theatre system suitable for our bedroom. My hubby and I didn't like the idea of have speaker wire all over the place and placing small speakers throughout the room so we opted for this soundbar. It is super sleek and modern looking. We love how the DVD player is integrated with it. The sound quality is outstanding!
The soundbar is a great addition to our new flat-screen TV. Dvds sound great. When we play music cds on it however, the sound quality isn't as good. We don't get the nice bass we did on our old stereo (even when you increase the bass volume on the remote). That is the only drawback.
I haven't used all the features yet. I wanted something to use with the tv that had good tone quality, not something that would blast me and this does that although I had to turn the subwoofer down. I also didn't want lots of wires all over the room; again, this is easy to hook up with just a couple of cables. The manual isn't really clear about how to get the tv sound to transfer to the sound bar; my brother-in-law had to show me that the audio on the tv menu had to be turned off. Delivery was quick.
This is an ideal setup in my bedroom. The sound is nice and clear, the bass is great (no booming), the Ambisound has many presets to choose from and they all process the sound as described. The up-converting DVD player works very well. The AM/FM tuners are a nice touch. This thing is like an all-in-one home theater system. I hung it on the wall beneath my 32" LCD HDTV, hooked my DirecTV DVR up, and have enjoyed the setup immensely.
Product is full of features and worth of the price you pay. Upconversion is good enough and Philips used best technology available in the market.
Do not expect 5.1 home theater quality as its only 2.1 channel only; overall its really good.
If you donot feel hassel of installing 5 speakers then I will recomend to buy 5.1 as it's sound quality will be good.
I recomend this product for that much price.
We love this system! The audio is equivalent to an indoor/outdoor movie theater.
It's easy to set up and easy to use.
Only drawback is that all cables are not provided.
When I purchase this product, I was thinking in value and space saving. when I receive it, I was looking for a reason to return it, still looking, this product is AWESOME, the sound quality is perfect, I replace a 5.1 system and still this one is far more efficient in sound delivery and quality. Even that is a 1080 up converting, the picture look nice in my 42 in LG. the only bad part or negative review for me is that I have a ipod NANO 5th gen and the only thing I can do is play my music with the cradle.(is made for older ipods) I wish this system was Blueray too but then the price wasn't going to be that affordable. If you get this, I promise you won't regret it. Nice one, PHILIPS!
I received my Philips soundbar today, and it is great.
Setup was pretty easy, had to figure out how to get the sound to play while watching TV, but I figured it out. I am very pleased with the sound quality makes me feel like I'm in the movie theater. The radio feature is pretty cool, sound is decent though it is much better while watching TV or a movie.
My girlfriend works for Philips and she wanted this item. I bought it for a great price.....Installation was easy, setup was a little nerve wrecking but it's definitely a great product.....The sound is great wether your using the dvd or fm tuner. We turned the volume all the way up and with no distortion it still sounded great....
this system fits my type of application. the tv system that i have has the speakers on the back of the set. the philip hts 8100 does two jobs which i like, one the sound comes out from the front so i am able to hear the sound better. two, it simulates the surround sound. the sound for me is like having a 5.1 system.
This is an exceptional deal for small spaces or apartments. The surround sound is fantastic, and the radio reception for both AM and FM is really good. It had taken a little work to hook up the system, but once it was together the sound was fantistic. You can't go wrong with this product, and the price is great!
This is everything I was hoping to find in a surround sound system. Easy to install, no wires, no mess, looks great, sounds wonderful. The price was great as far as the competition. Has all the required ports and hook ups I needed from my existing components with a few extra.........
Easy installation, has the cables with it and easy to follow instructions took more time to unpack that to hook it up. My wife and I are now having to go back and watch old movies due to the clarity of both the sound and the picture.
Setup is simple and the sound quality is amazing. I am so impressed that I logged back into this site to rate this product. This is a steal at this price! You will not be disapointed. Absolutely impressive!
Overall a very smart purchase and an excellent product.
Very easy to set up. Sounds great in a smaller family room. For a really big room, I would have purchased a true surround sound speaker system. But this is very good bass sound.
This product is very user friendly and easy to install. It works very well and gives a nice movie theater experience while being at home watching television or movies.

Is there an API call or any scripts that I failed to overturn that would pull all my Gists from Github to an outside git repo or just return me a list of their names? I know each one is a separate git repo, so I have assumed the best I can do is get the latter, then script to get all of them onto my local box.
EDIT 1: I know about pulling and pushing git repos from one service to another, I am specifically looking for people who have the 411 on collecting an authoritative list of all Gists I have, private and public. I also thought this might be useful to others. It is not so much about migration, but a backup strategy . . . of sorts.
EDIT 2: So, it appears this might not be possible. I apparently did not Google hard enough to search the updated Github/Gist API. The other API calls work with simple curl commands, but not the v1 API for Gist. Still, the API says TBD for all private and public Gists, so I think that puts the cabash on the whole thing unless an enlightened soul hooks a brotha up.
$ curl http://github.com/api/v2/json/repos/show/alharaka
... # tons of more output
echo $?
This one does not work so hot.
$ curl https://gist.github.com/api/v1/:format/gists/:alharaka
$ echo $?
EDIT 3: Before I get asked, I noticed there is a difference in the API versioning; this "brilliant hack" did not help either. Still very cool though.
$ curl https://gist.github.com/api/v2/:format/gists/:alharaka # Notice v2 instead of v1
$ echo $?

I enjoy exploring new areas, laughing and being silly with fun and kind people. I am incredibly sarcastic and appreciate a good sense of humor. I played volleyball in college and am a tad competitive, but I love learning new things even if I'm not great at them (i.e.: golf, ugh!). I grew up all over the west coast and have recently moved out to NOVA for graduate school. Family is the most important thing to me! On the weekends I try to find a good balance between being productive as a grad student and having fun and being social. I love dive bars and quirky hole-in-the-wall type places, and would prefer kicking back with a couple beers and a game (or game night!!) over going to a club any day! I'm pretty low key, very honest, and try to call it like I see it in the nicest way possible. I'm looking for someone who is smart, kind, and doesn't take themselves too seriously. Someone who challenges me and makes me better is someone I want to spend time with!

As he takes a drag off his cigarette, he comes across as the kind of guy who, were you to stop for directions on a city's busy street corner, would reveal with great authority not just the easiest route, but also the secret shortcut. Then he'd add some history of the neighborhood, how to get rid of that "ping" in your engine and what to see Saturday night -- probably a provocative new play.
Minadakis describes his tenure as producing artistic director of the Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival with both pride and self-effacement. "I've only been doing theater a decade -- I came into it by accident," he explains, saying that he was required to take two courses in theater to graduate from James Madison University. But the classes in directing and theater business administration permanently hooked him, and after an internship at Cincinnati's Ensemble Theatre, he co-founded Fahrenheit Theatre Company in 1993. "We built it to a theater with an $850,000 budget in eight-and-a-half years. Sixty-four percent of our audience was under the age of 45," he says of the theater, renamed the Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival in 1997.
The past two years have been difficult for playhouses nationwide, but Minadakis' theater, located in downtown Cincinnati, suffered some unique setbacks. In the spring of 2001 Cincinnati was rocked by riots spurred by police shootings of black suspects, followed by a boycott of downtown by African-American groups.
Meanwhile the struggling theater saw a tepid response when Minadakis programmed plays like Jesus Hopped the A Train, edgy fare that Actor's Express traditionally specializes in. In November 2002, the theater slashed its operating budget by more than $100,000, changed its programming to emphasize classic comedies and restructured its staff, which included Minadakis' voluntary resignation.
He says that he'd been considering moving on for a couple of years -- and in fact, had applied to replace Actor's Express' departing founder Chris Coleman in 2000, although he lost the position to Wier Harman. Last November Harman announced his decision to leave Actor's Express, and Minadakis recalls, "Wier called me with the news three days after I'd made my own decision to step down. I'd been thinking about going back to grad school and ride out the hard times there, but this is exactly the job I want to have."
If you split the difference between Harman's and Coleman's approaches to programming plays, you'll get an idea of how Minadakis may turn out. He's every bit as bullish about new work as Harman and hopes to stage two world premieres a season, with an eye to finding new musicals. Yet, like Coleman, he's more likely to include classics from the theatrical canon, giving a contemporary vibe to the likes of Shakespeare or Ibsen. And now that he's in Atlanta, Minadakis has confidence that his Southern accent will return in force.
The Dogs of War
Following last week's mass theater event of The Lysistrata Project, Atlanta theaters remain on a war footing. On March 17, 7 Stages presents a staged reading of Heaven is Late, an Iraqi play about the plight of the nation's people, which previously has only been produced in Cairo and Baghdad. In April, PushPush Theater plans to stage The Iraq Plays, an evening of short works about international politics by local writers as well as established writers like Harold Pinter, but details have yet to be announced.
Two other upcoming plays tap the current geopolitical zeitgeist. Beginning March 28, Horizon Theatre presents Homebody/Kabul, the Southeastern premiere of a sprawling work by Angels in America's Tony Kushner. Written before Sept. 11, the play depicts the search for a British woman who disappears in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. The Ansley Park Playhouse, meanwhile, will grapple with the World Trade Center disaster with The Guys, opening April 4. Anne Nelson's fact-based play depicts a journalist who helps a New York City fire captain write the eulogies of eight of his men killed Sept. 11.
The Shakespeare Tavern's Julius Caesar, opening March 12, also has a pertinent hook, but not the one Barbra Streisand suggested last September when she erroneously attributed to the play a faux-Shakespeare quote about the dangers of patriotism. In fact, Julius Caesar offers a timely, how-to depiction of regime change. Watching the Shakespeare Tavern's Cassius (Justin Welborn) plot against its Caesar (Patrick Wood), you can just imagine the support the Bush administration would put behind Iraqi conspirators willing to knock off Saddam on the Ides of March.

Number one sport in the world, yes. It's hard for some people to believe that since it's just not that popular in the US, compared to most of the rest of the world. Geez, the guy needs to do some research before he opens his mouth. Yeah I guess he's pissed like someone else said since the Mayweather fight did better than the UFC event again. I thought last time that happened he said he wasn't going to do that again. I guess he figured since it was on free TV instead of PPV that more people might watch the UFC. Oops. No way these guys should've ever beat out Pride, I hope someone comes along for some good competition and deflates this guy's ego already.

The only ignorant statement was that he said UFC is bigger. I agree that Soccer is almost the worst sport to watch. Only mainstream sports I can think of that are worse to watch are baseball and Golf....

Football or Soccer may be boring at times but it is the biggest sport in the whole world. Hence why a World Cup is hosted every four years.

How is football boring to watch?
Boring to whom? People that were never raised with the sport in the first place? I suppose so...
There is no sport out there that get me more emotional, excited and out of my seat than when either a club I support or my national teams plays.
All things are relative.

It is a matter of opinion but I am sure most MMA guys would play soccer if they were good at it, simply because they get 50 to 150k dollars a week.
I myself have stopped watching but some games are fun to watch. I play it and it's a damn good game. The main thing is that fans are a club are usually fans for life be it good or bad times. Loyalty is a key.
As for soccer players, they are very fit, agile and the skill you need to kick a ball like them is immense. I tried kicking a ball at a goal at 30 yards and it's damn hard to be accurate with power. I also played a full 90 mins with only one half as they do and **** it's hard, you need a lot of stamina and running. I later read a midfielder in a pro game runs 6 miles. LOL.
