another example of creative simplicity and excellent production without frills
The art direction throughout the Acura campaign is perfect, holding all the various bits of work together as a coherent whole that manages to look simple without ever being underwhelming.
im not sure if this car ONLY has this ability to absorb the shocks, most modern cars have this technology now, for me as a viewer it opens my eyes to look for the same technology in other cars, at least for cheaper ones " this can be the thought of a normal viewer whose not in the advertising industry"
| Everartz |
RPA creatives are letting us know they can run like Gayle Sayers with this idea all day. this art & copy team can talk about the importance of every single bolt holding one of these Acura vehicles together.
I like the Gallery feel of these ads....makes even the crash test look original

Tea Prices May Climb 20% as Lower India Output Widens Shortage
Tea prices in India, the top grower after China, may climb 20 percent in the next five months as lower output and rising demand worsens a shortage, according to McLeod Russel India Ltd., the largest tea-plantation owner.
Average prices in Assam, which accounts for more than half of production, may reach 180 rupees ($4) per kilogram by April from 150 rupees, Azam Monem, marketing director at McLeod, said in a telephone interview. Pest attacks may reduce the crop by as much as 25 million kilograms to 955 million kilograms, he said.
Rising prices may boost profits at growers including McLeod and Jayshree Tea & Industries Ltd., and raise costs for Unilever Plc, Tata Global Beverages Ltd., the owner of Tetley Brands, and other companies that buy leaves from India. Output in Kenya, the biggest exporter, and Sri Lanka, the fourth-biggest grower, may stagnate in 2011 after rebounding this year, said Monem.
"We're at the thin edge where any inconsistency in weather or cropping pattern has an immediate spiking effect on prices," Monem said in a phone interview. "The ripples will be felt from January as you'll be living off inventory."
McLeod may get an average 147 rupees to 150 rupees on every kilogram sold, compared with 137 rupees to 138 rupees last year, he said. Production may decline to about 4.5 million kilograms, he said. Output totaled 77.2 million kilograms in the year ended March 31, according to the company's annual report.
Countrywide production slipped 9.6 percent to 120.7 million kilograms in October from a year earlier, the Tea Board of India said Dec. 6. The supply deficit may more than double to 100 million kilograms in the year starting April 1, Monem said.
Exports in the January-to-October period gained to 163.1 million kilograms from 157.6 million a year earlier, the board said. An increase in exports amid a drop in supplies may drain inventory and support prices, said Monem.
"As we approach the close of the season and once factories stop production and supply lines dry up in the north, a lot of people live on stocks," he said. "Stocks will be drastically reduced as we get into the new crop year" starting on April 1.

Take the FICO Fitness Challenge for 2010![ Edited ]
01-05-2010 01:14 PM - edited 01-04-2011 10:56 AM
The Consumer Federation of America found that consumers could save $28 billion a year in lower credit card finance charges if they improved their credit scores by 30 points. As the New Year begins we'd like to officially announce the FICO Fitness Challenge!
The concept is simple:
Set a goal for where you'd like to see your FICO score at the end of 2010. Then with the help of our Credit Education Center and FICO Forums Community, take the steps that will help you achieve this goal during the coming year. Why not challenge yourself to get your credit in shape and start saving money?
To take the challenge tell us the following:
1. Your FICO score goal for 2010
2. Your current FICO score(s)
3. The steps you plan to take to achieve your goal
Then periodically share your progress with the FICO Forums Community and help others by providing the kind of expertise and support that earned us a prestigious Forrester Groundswell Award for social media in 2009.
Here's to a financially healthy New Year for us all!
NEW feature: Click here for the Official FICO Fitness Challenge siggy!
Formerly consumer affairs manager, media spokesman and myFICO Forums community manager at FICO, I'm now freelance writing for CreditCards.com and my own site, SpeakingOfCredit.com.

Flu in Vermont said to be on riseJanuary 12,2013
MONTPELIER — Incidents of the flu appear to be rising in Vermont.
As of last week, about 20 percent of hospital visits were for respiratory illnesses and about 5 percent of visits to doctors' offices were for flulike symptoms.
Three adults have died, all of them in December.
Vermont Health Department officials say the rates of the flu are higher than other years in Vermont but that the number of deaths does not appear out of the ordinary.
A total of 10 people died from the flu last year, seven in 2011 and none in 2010.
The Health Department says it has not heard of any shortage of vaccine or whether certain cities or regions have been hard hit.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Bennington woman was hospitalized following an early morning fire.

Cape Saunders residents are relieved to have power back after

Resident David McKay had taken to toasting bread for
breakfast on the fire using some ''good old No8 wire''.
He was ''halfway through'' sanding his floor when the power
went out and he had to ''suspend operations''.
He was in good spirits, as his woodburner kept his house warm

''I went to the pub'', he said.
Residents Albie and Jeanine Benson were looking forward to
showering after power came on about 2pm yesterday.
The lack of power had complicated the couple's water supply,
as it was fed by an electric pump.
''We have had no water or sewerage,'' Mrs Benson said.

The couple had cooked on a portable gas stove and wore

Politics Two Campaign Ads and a Campaign Ad Dare
Mike McGavick keeps saying he wants to run a different kind of campaign…an issues oriented campaign that sets an example for political discourse. It's a nice sentiment, but, rather than actually running an issues oriented campaign, McGavick seems to be running a campaign about running an issues oriented campaignwithout ever talking about the issues.
Here's his latest TV ad:
Mike: I look to the example of Senator John McCain because you see a person who doesn't look to his party first for how to vote, but to the needs of his country and to his conscience. Sen. McCain: The American people are sick of the bitter, poisoned atmosphere that we have in our nation's Capitol. And that's why we need Mike, who understands that what the people of Washington want is people who work together for the common good. Mike: I'm Mike McGavick, and I approve this ad.
The one McGavick ad I heard that does talk about the issues (it was about the GOP trifecta bill), was pour and stir GOP. That'd be fine…if, of course, McGavick's other big theme wasn't….bipartisanship.
As I wrote last July, the bipartisanship theme is McGavick's clever way of campaigning in a year when it's not such a good time to be a Republican. It also helps him sidestep Cantwell, whose positions are pretty popular.
Here's what I wrote last July after checking out McGavick's stump speech:
Who's the "we" that has to get more serious about veterans' health care? President Bush and the Republicans who control Congress, that's who. But McGavick doesn't name themhe can't name them. What he can dowhat he is doing, while Cantwell is AWOLis seize on public disgust with Bush and the congressional Republicans by attacking government in general. McGavick is running with the public's foul mood rather than being forced to run against itor even against Cantwell.
Anyway, here's McGavick's latest radio ad about transcending partisanship. You'll note, he doesn't say anything about Cantwellnor does he say where he'd break with his own party.
Here's his latest Radio Ad:
Mike: The partisan nonsense that is ruining our nation must stop, and we can help stop it this November.
Announcer: Mike McGavick, willing to stand up and say, "enough.â
Mike: To look to your party first to know how to vote, what a wrong-minded concept.
Announcer: Mike McGavick, the candidate for Senate who will fight to change the destructive culture in Washington, D.C.
Mike: You work with others to solve problems, with open hearts and open minds.
Announcer: Washington, D.C., needs a change and Washington state needs a new senator. A true Northwestern voice of common sense, Mike McGavick.
Mike: That's the Northwest way of doing things, and that's the kind of senator I will be.
Announcer: Republican Mike McGavick. Reformer. Problem solver. For U.S. Senate.
Join the fight for change at MikeMcGavick.com
Paid for by Friends for Mike McGavick.
Here's my dare for McGavick's next ad about bipartisanship. I want him to come on and cite three policies where he differs from the GOP and three policies where his position is similar to the Democratic position.

I was with my sister and a friend of Peter and we have felt very comfortable! The room was despite extra bed spacious than the last hotel room in London, which I had with my sister.
The reception was very nice and we felt always welcome. The breakfast was great!
The sink is a little small, but that would be to complain about really picky :-)!
We enjoyed the stay very much and will be back!
Ich war mit meiner Schwester und einer Freundin bei Peter und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Das Zimmer war trotz Extra-Bett geräumiger als das letzte Hotelzimmer in London, welches ich mit meiner Schwester hatte.
Der Empfang war sehr nett und wir haben uns immer willkommen gefühlt. Das Frühstück war klasse!
Das Waschbecken ist etwas klein, aber das zu bemängeln wäre echt pingelig :-)!
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und werden wiederkommen!!!
Good things: - Friendly person
- Nice accommodation
- Good connection to all parts of London
- Flexible times for departure and arrival.
Bad things: - Peter offers a breakfast on wimdu, but we haven´t got a breakfast.
So we had to buy something!
- In some parts of the bathroom we found hairs of different people.
- When we arrived our room wasn´t ready.
So we give him 2 of 5 points...
Even before our flight to London, I had contacted Peter about some questions concerning arrival and check-in / check-out times, which he answered with a warm and quick response. The accomodation itself proved to be what we were expecting due to the pictures at WIMDU, a nice, cosy house. Rooms were clean, even an adapter for non-british power supplies was available (something I always forgot). Only the bathroom at the lower floor could need some refresh and is quiet small, but there is a well equipped, modern and bigger second bath available upstairs (though, you might have to arrange that with the other flatmates). Both Peter and his housekeeper were quite friendly and accommodating (thanks for that to both of you :-)
Public transport is close by, aprox. 5 minutes to train/tube and bus services, as well as some shops, supermarkets (Tesco and Sainsbury's) , pubs and restaurants.
At all, a recommendable accommodation for your a London trip.
We visited London for 5 days. And we stayed in Peter's house.
It is a beautiful, well furnished house. We prefer being in a cosy house rather than staying in a hotel.
Peter and the boy who made breakfast and also did answered our questions are fine people !!
The location was very good to discover London.
Logement à 2 pas d'une station de métro et de bus. Chambre très propre et calme, matelas confortable et hôte très sympa. Seul bémol: la porte de notre chambre restait tout le temps entrouverte et la salle de bain ne se ferme pas à clé.
Alhough Peters appartment was nice, we didn't feel very welcomed.
The house is very comfortable and clean. Peter is a nice and discrete person and is always around. The house is located in a neighborhood near the main tourist attractions and is very well connected to all major subway lines and bus.The house and the neighborhood is very quiet, I was able to rest well at night and even during the day. The bathrooms and room are very clean! I recommend this place, good price, good affaire!
Peter thanks for your amusing letter could not read it without a smile, is not going to make excuses in front of you, but B90-ta% of the cases it is my mistakes from ignorance of the language, because all the questions that have been, and I could not ask hotelaby because they do not know English. language and on tovodu beds offer my deepest apologies that povridila antiquarian, but it happened because of your broken window which I opened and it had fallen on me, and on the bed, so I'm not here to blame, and even the first time confronted with obschezhiteem and such aportamentami -on the site it was written that it is flat, ie. e., I was amazed that I will live with you and with many more people, usually I'm not used to declare to anyone in skrlko I go back home and come and bring their guests, and that the braid food in the fridge, then you have certainly sorry but when you open the fridge and showed all of this listing, then I realized that it can have, as well, and tea and coffee if breakfast is included in the price paid me money, I'm all good Parenting to afford to borrow someone else's !!! yes about the film on your dishes from the money I paid for your broken bed, or rather for a piece broken off the bed, I think, subtract from the money and 5 meters of film, which I so blatantly stole from you))! so that Mr. Petor, Depart in peace, with God! yes you can to read my response to you to use the Google translator!
We were last week around 6 days and it wasn´t what we expected (it didn´t correspond with the photos). Our room was the living room in which he had put two beds. We didn´t have a wardrobe to hang out the clothes. The bathroom wasn´t the photo but another different smaller than the photo. In the web you can see a garden that he didn´t invite you to use.
We choose this house because comments were good with him, but he wasn´t nice with us, not even he dismissed to us the last day.

We hate to see you go, Gavin! Gavin DeGraw managed to narrowly escape elimination on 'Dancing With the Stars' twice before, but on last night's episode (April 17), the crooner was unable to get a save from the bottom two.
Gavin DeGraw made his 'Dancing With the Stars' debut last night. As a musician, you'd assume he already has some rhythm — and he does! But he lacks the confidence in his moves that would earn him rave reviews from the judges.
The #1 song in December, 2011 on K945 is "It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars.
Singer Gavin DeGraw checked into a New York hospital after a brutal assault Monday morning.

In the following essay, McMahan identifies unfulfilled sexual desire as the source of Elisa Allen's frustration in "The Chrysanthemums."
Virtually every critic who has considered John Steinbeck's short story "The Chrysanthemums" has agreed that its basic theme is a woman's frustration, but none has yet adequately explained the emotional reasons underlying that frustration. In fact, Kenneth Kempton would consider such an explanation impossible. He professes his inability to find any consistent motivation for Eliza's behavior, and declares the work "annoyingly arty, muddy, and unreal."1 But most critics who have examined "The Chrysanthemums" admire the story and find it meaningful. Warren French, after identifying the theme of the...

Why should people not be able to save money and earn some interest on it? banks pay zero interest now.
Fed wants to force/push money into stocks, thus this market bubble that will be the mother of all crashes.

Belle of Louisville/Spirit of Jefferson
Louisville , KY 40202
Phone: (502) 574-2992
Fax: (502) 574-3030
Price: $
The Belle of Louisville is a National Historic Landmark and a treasured icon to the city of Louisville. She is the only remaining steamboat of an era significant to our country's growth and the expansion that spurred the Industrial Revolution. The 1914 Belle is the oldest operating paddlewheel steamboat in the nation and holds the distinction of being the most traveled on the inland waters. She is steam powered by used engines (dating back to 1890's)that were put on her in 1914. With no modern navigation systems she is propelled only by her paddlewheel. She is a legend; a step back in time and will turn 100 years old in the year 2014. Her only modern feature was added in 2010 by air-conditioning the ballroom deck for summer cruising comfort, and heat for dockside events in the winter. The Spirit of Jefferson is a charming sister vessel to the Belle. She has HVAC and cruises year round.
Both vessels cruise the Ohio on a public schedule and private charter occassions. Call to discuss your event or check our cruise dates and times available on our website at www.belleoflouisville.org.
Riverside is the place to be when visiting Louisville. Cruise on our vessels, observe the beautiful Ohio, or walk to our award-winning Waterfront Park, just west of the Belle's docking area. Waterfront park includes playgrounds for people of all ages, grand views of the river, picnic spaces, and quiet places to read a book.
A special feature was dedicated in 2009; Lincoln Memorial Park with a spectacular bronze status of Abraham Lincoln as a welcoming figure, sitting on a rock with book in hand and gesturing as if to welcome visitors and engage them in conversation. The four bas reliefs, a form of sculpture in which objects project slightly from a background, represent Lincoln's childhood home in Kentucky; his rise in society and politics; the terrible toll that the Civil War took on the nation and Lincoln's own family; and a scene that represents what helped form Lincoln's abhorrence of the institution of slavery.
A visit to Louisville is not complete without exploring all the river area has to offer.

Euro Needs Germany to Get Control of Purse Strings: David Marsh
Can the euro maintain its position as a world currency after the sovereign-debt crisis?
Only if the euro area ceases to be a free-wheeling collection of states and is more closely controlled by the creditor nations of northern Europe, led by Germany. This development is likely to impose more stringent and unpopular conditions on the debtor states of southern Europe straggling to come to terms with Europe's new balance of power.
A summer lull has broken out after the announcement in May of a 750 billion-euro ($950 billion) rescue package for weaker euro members, such as Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland. The euro has risen 6 percent against the dollar since early June, and Europe has gained valuable time to put its house in order.
As the bailout costs grow, it is harder for member states to bury their political and economic differences and rediscover a spirit of solidarity to safeguard the euro's future.
Such solidarity will come at a price. The purse strings are held firmly by the North. And if the North prospers while the South remains mired in debt and recession, it will spell political chaos. It may even herald the splitting-up of monetary union into a stronger northern and a weaker southern component in the next five to 10 years.
The new euro-area borrowing facility, based in Luxembourg and set up under the emergency-aid package, is intended to provide a mechanism for errant states to bypass the financial markets -- but at a penal cost in terms of interest rates -- should the capital market dry up.
Market 'Holiday'
This is the intention, too, of a separate 110 billion-euro facility from which Greece is already borrowing to give itself a two- or three-year "holiday" from the capital markets. The problem is that risk premiums for Greece on the secondary market still haven't declined. Capital-market rates for Greece stand more than 8 percentage points higher than interest rates on German government bonds.
More destabilizing disagreements on the European Central Bank Governing Council are almost inevitable as it grapples with the enormous monetary challenges of austerity, rising debt in the southern euro members and export-led growth among the strengthening northern creditor states, such as Germany.
The results of recent financial turbulence have now, for the first time, been striking home in Europe's biggest economy. Germany's reaction to what Chancellor Angela Merkel calls an "existential challenge" for the euro is becoming clearer. The irrefutable message is that the nation of 82 million -- together with other "hard-money" allies in northern Europe -- is seeking to exert control of the European economy in response to other countries' widespread failure to reduce their deficits.
Causes of Crisis
Let's look back to understand how this all happened.
The euro's birth in 1999 took place at a time that was both propitious and disturbing.
It was propitious because a new currency was established, appearing to embody on a European scale the benevolent, low- inflation characteristics of Germany's deutsche mark: a monetary unit that had become one of the world's strongest currencies.
It was disturbing because at the same time a large buildup in international foreign-exchange reserves began to take place. The euro's emergence ushered in a decade when official currency holdings quadrupled from a mere $1.9 trillion in 2000 to $8.1 trillion at the end of 2009, with 63 percent of the total held by the 11 top Asian holders (led by China).
This reserve buildup spelled an increase in liquidity driven by balance-of-payments disequilibria that contributed to driving down interest rates and lending standards across the world. These effects helped fuel the financial excesses that eventually led to the trans-Atlantic credit crisis of 2007-08.
One Size Only
In Europe, these phenomena encouraged excessive borrowing among nations already benefiting from low interest rates under the "one-size-fits-all" policies of the ECB. And this, in turn, helped to cause the sovereign-debt upheavals that broke out among euro members in the first half of 2010.
All these elements were interconnected. In 1999, central banks were anxious to lower their dependence on the dollar and saw the arrival of the euro as an opportunity to diversify their currency holdings into a new unit that covered a much wider economic area than the deutsche mark.
The result was that by the end of last year official reserve holdings of euros amounted to an estimated 27 percent of total currency reserves, according to International Monetary Fund estimates, a sizeable increase on the 1999 share of 18 percent. At the same time, the share of the dollar in world reserves was 62 percent at the end of last year compared with 71 percent in 1999, according to the IMF.
The heady increase in international importance of the euro may have come to a halt after the euro-area currency storms earlier this year. Its success now lies in a renewed solidarity between the region's northern and southern member states.

Sonus Faber Olympica Turns Heads
Olympica is a new speaker line from Sonus Faber, whose speakers have always been luxurious in both build and looks. A 1.1-inch silk dome tweeter and six-inch paper-composite woofer are built into a curved enclosure that is asymmetrical and built in mirror-imaged pairs. This allows the slot ports, located toward the rear of the side panels, to interact with the room in different ways, so if you audition these, you'll want to experiment with positioning, facing the port inward or outward. Available in light walnut and dark graphite veneer finishes, these were easily the most beautiful products we've seen on the first day of CEDIA 2013, and we suspect we won't see anything finer. Pricing is $6500/pair, shipping now. A matching center model is also available.

I like the magic atmosphere of this photo. Greetings
He is a very good moment!
Would love to receive permission to use your picture on our website. Please go to VisitOregonSouthCoast.com and reply to the email address (don't want to list it here to avoid spam). Will give you credit. Please include your Panoramio ID with your email and/or photo ID. Fantastic photos. Thanks.
Thank you!
The Hammer, I dearly love the Southern Oregon Coast and I appreciate your offer but I have a family to support and I cannot consider offers that do not involve at least some partial reimbursement of my expenses, to help offset my current negative cash flow.
In fact, for me (or anyone else) to provide photos without compensation would be to engage in the highly unethical practice of "lowballing", supplying goods below cost and putting professionals out of work. We cannot afford to put people out of work in these hard economic times, that only accelerates the downward economic spiral. I know your budget is tight, but I also expect that you do not ask your employees or contractors (marketing staff, Web designer, etc) to work for free. Please consider offering some moderate but reasonable fee as a compromise.
Hi Jeff.
Sorry to hear your finances are so tight. Most people who post photos here are not professionals, but amateurs like myself.
I do not have a money making website, but am doing it in order to help save my community from this economic downturn. The Oregon South Coast has survived in the past through timber and fishing. Both commercial operations are nearly shut down (sport fishing is alive and doing very well) leaving a large number of people unemployed. This is a beautiful area and I am trying to increase tourism to help the community. I expect to lose thousands of dollars on the project this year, but it is my way of giving back.
As far as employees go, there are two of us and we make no money from this project. So contrary to your assumption, not only are we working for free, we are spending our own savings on the project. I have another paying job and do this in my spare time. All I can offer you is free publicity.
I respect your wishes and hope things improve for you and your family in the future.
... simply wondeful!! Like + YS and added to the favorite photographers!! Ciao, piero.
Beautiful composition,
Greetings from Italy, Ciao

This paper describes an agent-based approach for scheduling multiple multicast on wormhole switch-based networks with irregular topologies. Multicast/broadcast is an important communication pattern, with applications in collective communication operations such as barrier synchronization and global combining. Our approach assigns an agent to each subtree of switches such that the agents can exchange information efficiently and independently. The entire multicast problem is then recursively solved with each agent sending message to those switches that it is responsible for. In this way, communication is localized by the assignment of agents to subtrees. This idea can be easily generalized to multiple multicast since the order of message passing among agents can be interleaved for different multicasts. The key to the performance of this agent-based approach is the message-passing scheduling between agents and the destination processors. We propose an optimal scheduling algorithm, called ForwardInSwitch to solve this problem. We conduct extensive experiments to demonstrate the efficiency of our approach by comparing our results with SPCCO, a highly efficient multicast algorithm reported in literature. We found that SPCCO suffers link contention when the number of simultaneous multiple multicast becomes large. On the other hand, our agent-based approach achieves better performance in large cases.

It would be almost impossible to know that none were classified, has Donald Trump been charged with treason? He has now publicly stated that he hopes a foreign power has access to sensitive classified material that could weaken America's security, prosperity or safety. And the lunatics of America still think he's cool. If a businessman were to suggest this to Isis, they would be in prison.

Making Extra Money: Turn a Hobby Into a Business
Late one recent evening, I stopped by a nearly deserted supermarket. A tired-looking cashier leaned against her counter, and a customer service agent yawned mightily as he kept an eye on the self-checkout area.
No one was anywhere near the coin-counting machine. As is my wont, I glanced into its returned-coin bin as I passed by.
Did I hit the jackpot!
I pulled two handfuls out of the machine: 10 quarters, nine dimes, two nickels, and 58 pennies.
And that was just the American money. I also retrieved a bunch of Canadian change (three quarters, two dimes, two nickels, and seven pennies), plus coins from the Philippines, Korea, South Africa, and a country called "Family Entertainment."
Some of the coins were dirty, a few slightly dented, and a bunch were stuck together with a cola-smelling stickiness. But some of the rejects were perfectly fine. My guess is that the person doing the coin-dumping poured in too many at once and the machine couldn't handle them all.
Who knows what you'll find?
I don't use coin-counting machines because I resent being charged a fee. I also like counting coins.
I always check the returned-coin bins on these machines, because I frequently find money there. I keep what I find until November, when I write a check to my local food bank.
Plenty of the coins I find are from other countries. I've been putting them in a small plastic bag, figuring they'd come in handy eventually.
And now I know how: When one of my great-nephews saw the bounty I'd pulled from the machine, he asked for the Korean coin. He just liked the way it looked. I guess I'll be putting the "coins of many nations" bag in his Christmas stocking.
What have we learned? Always check the returned-coin bin of the coin-counting machine, and don't drink a soda anywhere near your coin jar.

After a loss to Calgary Monday night, Detroit came into Edmonton looking for a win to boost themselves back towards the top of the Western Conference. With a third period comeback to beat Edmonton 3-2, they regained the lead in the Western Conference from the San Jose Sharks.
Both teams came out looking strong, but it was Edmonton scoring first from a rocket slapshot by Denis Grebeshkov on the powerplay that gave his team a 1-0 lead in the first period.
Detroit continued to have great chances, but couldn't seem to get it past Roloson, who played very strong all night.
It wasn't until the third period that the action really began. Detroit's defensemen Jonathon Ericsson scored his first goal of the season to tie up the game and give his team the confidence boost they needed.
As time winded down, both teams had chance after chance, finally off a great play from Marian Hossa, Johan Franzen gained his team the lead making it 2-1 Detroit.
Right off the draw Valterri Filppula scored a quick draw shot extending the gap to 3-1.
As the last minutes came, a blast by Ales Kotalik put Edmonton back in the game netting him his 15th goal of the season and making it a 3-2 game.
After Edmonton pulled Roloson for the extra man, Detroit was able to fend them off for their much needed victory.
Next up the Wings battle the Islanders Friday night in Detroit.

Entering Lanai Airport from the tarmac
The front entrance features a grand reminder of Lanai's pineapple heritage.
The Great Hall at the Four Seasons Lodge at Koele, just outside of Lanai City.
My room at the Four Seasons Lodge at Koele.
The beautiful grounds of the Four Seasons Lodge at Koele demand exploration.
Dozens and dozens of statues—like this one of the Laughing Buddha or Budai Luohan—are scattered throughout the hotel grounds.
This whimsical herd lounges in the grassy lawn behind the hotel.
The grounds boast a large fishpond, stocked with koi, and an orchid hothouse (seen to the left).
Lunch spot … first day … Lanai City. Try the lox and cream cheese "everything" bagel.
On the "highway" to Shipwreck Beach on Lanai's north shore.
The jeep trail to Shipwreck Beach.
The closest thing to a traffic jam on Lanai.
Every Jeep should come with a hood ornament like this.
But where's the shipwreck?
Ahh …
The derelict ship now clinging to the reef is a ferrous-concrete World War II-era oiler that washed up on shore in the 1940s, foiling many government attempts to sink it into the channel between Lanai and Molokai.
Shipwreck Beach is also known by its Hawaiian name, Kaiolohia.
Shipwreck Beach isn't the kind of picture-postcard expanse of white sand most visitors come to Hawaii to see …
… But its shoreline does possess its own kind of odd beauty.
Lava rocks and boulders pockmark Shipwreck's eight miles of tiny white sand beaches and stretches of tidepool-rich shoreline.
Everything growing alongside the oceanside Jeep trails on Lanai's north shore must be rugged enough to handle the sand-filled dirt and salt-spray-heavy air.
The Jeep trails are dotted with dozens of abandoned camps waiting for fishermen to return. This was one of the more colorful ones.
We saw "Da Farm" fishing camp first …
… Then "Da Other Farm" fishing camp a mile down the Jeep trail.
Lanai's only rental car company only rents Jeeps.
Sentinels near the entrance of Kanepuu Highway. The middle horse belongs to multi-billionaire David Murdock, who owns the bulk of Lanai's lands.
The view from Kanepuu Highway, on the way to Polihua Beach.
Kanepuu Highway goes right through Garden of the Gods.
Garden of the Gods is a dry otherworldly plateau, populated with thousands of odd-shaped boulders eroded over several millennia.
Uh-huh. Right.
The end of the extremely rough ride down four-wheel-drive-only Polihua Trail.
The sand dunes of Polihua Beach.
Imagine a thick swath of unspoiled, uninterrupted white sand stretching more than two windswept miles …
… with views of Molokai and, on clear days, the distant silhouette of Oahu's Diamond Head crater across the channel.
That's Polihua Beach on Lanai's north shore. And there wasn't a single living soul on it save for my driving companion and me.
A tree canopy along the dunes of Polihua Beach.
Dusk, as seen from the Four Seasons Lodge at Koele's wonderfully lengthy veranda.
I took a trail ride on my second day. This was my horse.
My horse seemed quite sated after getting a post-ride carrot from my co-photographer.
Spent a few quality hours on the beach at the Four Seasons at Manele Bay.
Lanai City—more like a village square than a "city," but we respect the name—has a handful of good local-style restaurants. Blue Ginger serves up a great double teri-burger deluxe.
Canoes Lanai's spicy Korean fried chicken and loco moco—for the uninitiated, two separate dishes—were excellent.
Sunday in the Dole Park, Lanai City.
"Easy Rider" goes Lanai. These guys were cool.

I'm going to try my best to explain what I need to figure out. Also, for you to understand exactly how mind bending this is for me, I haven't used an Excel formula since 2005/2006ish. We're doing a financial report for work, using Excel 2007, that needs shading for four different conditions. As an example (IF G5 is 0-80% of H5, shade G5 color 1), obviously that's not a real formula, but as previously stated I'm no longer familiar with formula's and it sounded good to me lol. From there it'd be something like IF G5 is 80-90% of H5 = color 2, IF 90-120% color 3, then IF 120+% color 4. I apologize if I made it sound more complicated than it really is, but I have a quite a few paired cells to do this formula for, so I'm kind of freaking out.
Once you select the cells that you want to format, you can find the Conditional Formatting drop-down on the ribbon, which gives you loads of pre-set rules to choose from, like color scales.
This will automatically color the items based on the range they are in…
You can also create your own rule to color only cells that fit within a certain range, or greater than a certain number.
This rule will only color cells greater than a certain amount, with the color you specify.
This can be very useful, and you should note that you can apply a second rule to the same range. For instance, here is a second rule that colored items larger than 2000 with green instead of red.
You can even create a completely customized rule by choosing the New Formatting Rule option.
If you've applied too many rules and want to start over, just select the cells and use the Clear Rules option to remove all the formatting.

Transformative Technologies are science-based hardware and software that can produce reliable and positive changes in the human psychological experience.
Transformative Technology seeks to improve the quality of our lives by moving beyond productivity, entertainment, and communication. Its using technology to sustain us, to help us access and develop our mental and emotional wellbeing so that we can experience our best-selves day-to-day.
The Transformative Technology Conference is the only conference focused on learning, sharing, and connecting in order to drive serious research and development, commercialization, and awareness of Transformative Technology.
Our inaugural event on October 2nd and 3rd 2015 was sold out.
The conference began with a pre-conference summit to define the core ideas and areas that are shaping the Transformative Technology space. All conference participants were invited to participate in small group visioning breakouts that were broadly organized around the following themes: definitions, methods, outcomes, and ethics. A powerful vision emerged from the community that shaped the debate and was encapsulated in the full conference sessions that followed. See the detailed outcomes here.
Mikey Siegel and Dr. Jeffery Martin
Transformative technologies have existed since humans first danced around a fire. Combining neuroscience, biosensors, gamification and more, we are now poised to create transformative experiences like never before.
Moving well beyond communications and entertainment, how can tech improve the quality of life? We know it is possible and that it will mean taming the "distracted mind" using attention, working memory, and goal management.
The digital exhaust trails of all of your behavior form a better portrait of you than what a biographer could write. Technology can isolate us and make us more fearful or it can connect and enliven us.
Welcome to the trans tech barn raising! As a conscious ecosystem, how will we collaborate and catalyze to alleviate mental and physical suffering? Technology is the only tool that can scale to reach everyone.
We are the whacked-out and worried. Standards of living have risen, but our psychology has crashed. Optimizing brains, physical wellbeing, and peak performance are what lies ahead on the human evolutionary curve.
Drawing on his VC experience, Luke encourages entrepreneurs to figure out *why* you do what you do. Motivation and philosophy are intertwined in attaining funding and how you drive the vector of the company you build.
Does wellbeing have a soundtrack? Wellbeing is a state of consciousness and, as Stuart shows us, consciousness is more like music than a computer. Listen to the mesmerizing tones of neural communication.
You are what you build and you build what you are. What brought each person to this first TTC was choosing an uncommon path and sharing a vision of how we can build new technologies to evolve the human experience.
We're only at the beginning of understanding the power of the brain understanding itself. Ariel recounts her history of mind-controlled gadgets that crescendoed with the development of the Muse headset.
Current healthcare is actually sickcare. Its reactive nature means that disruption must start by shifting incentives to value-based care. From wearables to insideables to trainables, there will be major markets for tech.
This mind-body quantification pioneer recounts the *aha*! moment of first seeing heart wave data that mirrors emotional state. Coherence in the heart enables emotional self-regulation and sustained behavior change.
From molecular biology to contemplative neuroscience, data will form the base for building truly transformative technologies that drive attention, produce strong user engagement, and offer uplifting results.
Following the thread, Isy leaves his planned presentation behind and walks us through the inspiring journey, full of peaks and valleys, to creating technologies that give people full access to their own capabilities.
True wellbeing occurs within community—connection that gives a deeper sense of life's meaning. Trans tech developers work their own personal evolution as they move along the continuum of serving others.
A fundamental shift in the nervous system can enable a state of deep psychological and physiological safety, setting the stage for marked and persistent engineering of your own extraordinary wellbeing.
We've seen the 4 minute mile equivalent in psychological wellbeing and now understand even more of what's possible for mankind.

Banknote Printing at Modern central Banking: Trends, Costs and Efficiency
This paper examines trends in banknote printing during the period 2000-2005 for a crosssectionof 56 central banks. Because of the high increase in the demand for currency inrecent years, central banks have implemented new strategies to increase efficiency in theproduction of banknotes. Some of them, involve the private sector by means of differentmodalities (e.g. joint ventures, subsidiaries or purchase of banknotes from specializedcompanies), and the integration of banknote printing and cash processing in a singlecomplex (e.g. Portugal and Colombia). A cost function using a panel data model withrandom effects was estimated. It was identified that the denomination structure, the size ofbanknotes, and the production method used by central banks have a significant impact onproduction costs. Government printing was found to be the most costly method, whileprivate-sector involvement in the process substantially reduces production costs. Using anon-parametric efficient frontier model, it was found that most central banks have increasedits technical efficiency during the period, especially in central banks where the privatesectorhas involved. Computing a Malmquist index through distance functions it wasidentified that central banks have showed a moderate increase in its productivity, primarilydue to increases in efficiency and, in a lower proportion to technical change. In most of thecases, a positive change in efficiency is mainly the result of higher scale efficiency. Thiscould obey to high increase in demand for currency.

text:
I have a complex workflow, written in VS2010 (not sharepoint designer) for Sharepoint 2010.
Is there a document somewhere (MS?), with the recommended steps, to deploy an updated workflow, without cancelling the existing running instances of the workflow?
I can easily deploy the new workflow, however, the problem is that, I do not want to kill the existing instances of the running workflow (which is what happens by default when you deploy the workflow).
Through trial and error, I have a long list of what I think I need to do, but I really would like some confirmation.
I also need to use the new Package capability to deploy the workflow, since VS.NET will NOT be installed upon the sharepoint production server.


text: I have 3.3.1 and the 2011 theme. I have not been changing that at all. I had widgets in place and working, but suddenly the text widgets have disappeared and dragging them back and re-entering them doesn't work. I save them, but they are just gone again, both when I visit my blog AND behind the scenes. What could be going on? I did deactivate my plugins, but the problem continued. I would so appreciate some help.
