Several University of California, San Diego graduate students will receive full financial support over the next few years thanks to a $500,000 gift from the Washington, D.C.-based Robertson Foundation for Government, according to a release.
Established in 2010, the Robertson Foundation invests several million dollars annually to provide funding for scholarships, graduate fellowships, mid-career training programs and other initiatives to address the talent needs of the federal government in the areas of foreign policy, national security and international affairs. It is one of the only private foundations in the country to support students interested in pursuing federal government careers.
Each gift is pledged over four years and covers expenses for students to complete their masterís degree at UCSD's School of International Relations and Pacific Studies. As a requirement of the Robertson fellows program, students commit to working for the federal government for at least three of the first five years after graduation.

I was wondering if it is possible for a microwave in principle to dry clothes (assuming of course it is big enough).
It's not merely possible, but in fact microwave dryers are in commercial production in Japan.
However, there are certain technical issues with cost and safety, as commenter @dmckee alluded to above, and I don't see any evidence that they are available generally in the rest of the world.

I-89 lane shut by truck mishaps
MIDDLESEX Vermont State Police say two incidents involving tractor-trailers brought Interstate 89 southbound to one lane Friday.
State police say a truck carrying milk driven by Ronald C. LaRock, 66, of Enosburg Falls, had a mechanical failure around 9 a.m. in Waterbury and drove into a U-turn north of Exit 10. State police say the vehicle came to rest partly in the passing lane.
Shortly before noon, state police say, Gary K. Wells, 56, of Barton, who was driving a truck carrying gasoline, was unable to stop when vehicles in front of him in Middlesex slowed down. State police say Wells drove into the median to avoid a collision and became stuck when he tried to get the truck back onto the interstate.
Both incidents closed one southbound lane for around 30 minutes, and both are under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact state police in Middlesex at 229-9191.MORE IN This Just In

NEW YORK (AP) - The FBI has uncovered a possible link between the main suspect in the Cole bombing and the No. 1 U.S. terror suspect, Osama bin Laden, according to a report appearing in this week's Newsweek.
FBI documents show a link between Jamal al-Badawi, the key Yemeni suspect in custody, and a top security adviser to bin Laden, Tawfiq al-Atash, Newsweek said in editions appearing on newsstands Monday.
The suicide bombing killed 17 American sailors during a refueling stop in the port of Aden on Oct. 12.
Al-Badawi allegedly helped buy the boat used by the two suicide bombers. He has reportedly told investigators that he was led to believe - but never directly told - that bin Laden was giving the orders.
Newsweek said the FBI papers show that two emissaries claiming to work for al-Atash - code-named "Khaled" -approached al-Badawi asking for his help in buying the boat.

(By "group completion" I mean at the level of homology, I am aware of the space level version.) The versions of the group completion theorem that I have found such as Segal/McDuff have conditions on the monoid $M$, involving some kind of commutativity condition, and it is not clear to me that $JX$ satisfies any of these conditions. Could someone provide a reference or statement of a group completion theorem that clearly applies to $JX$, or is there actually a counterexample?

Statement attributable to the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General on Somalia
New York, 5 February 2013
The Secretary-General is deeply disappointed over the one-year sentences handed down in Mogadishu today against a woman and a Somali journalist. The woman alleged she was raped by armed men in government uniforms while living in a camp for internally displaced persons.
The United Nations has repeatedly expressed alarm over reports of pervasive sexual violence in IDP camps in and around Mogadishu. These crimes are underreported because of risks to victims, witnesses and family members, as well as of intense stigmatization. It takes extraordinary courage for survivors to come forward.
Somalia is emerging from a long and difficult period of instability, with representative institutions and a new Government that has made a commendable commitment to uphold human rights and the rule of law for all. This journey must begin with a solid foundation based on respect for human rights, freedom of expression and fair judicial process.
The Secretary-General urges the Government of Somalia to ensure that all allegations of sexual violence are investigated fully and perpetrators are brought to justice. Above all, it is essential that the rights of the alleged victim and the journalist to a fair and transparent judicial process, including the right of appeal, are fully respected.

Kobe inspires an OC school
Kobe Bryant shouldn't take this the wrong way, but he's been a partial inspiration for a 12-18 basketball team.
Of course, that team was once 1-9.
"He comes over here and works out during the summer and during the season, too," UC Irvine coach Pat Douglass said. "He's reached out to some of our guys. I think they see what he does and they realize what it takes to be great. I mean, he gets after it."
The Anteaters had not won two games in succession until they beat Cal State Northridge and Hawaii on Feb. 18 and 21. Now they've won four of five and are 8-8 in the Big West, heading into the league tournament that begins at the Anaheim Convention Center on Wednesday.
Ryan Badrtalei, the UCI basketball operations director, meets Bryant at Crawford Hall some mornings at 5:30 a.m. Douglass has seen Bryant lifting weights at the university's recreation center, even on game days.
"He's great with little kids, too," Douglass said. "I was playing golf one day with a guy I didn't know, and Kobe's name came up and I was talking about what a good guy he is, and for the next two holes this guy was going on and on about how he didn't like him. Sometimes golf can be like work. It was that day."
The Anteaters lost to Idaho, 101-47, on Nov. 28, a feat previously believed impossible.
"We just kept plugging away, trying to find our next win," Douglass said.
Freshman Eric Wise emerged, Brett Lauer went on to lead the league in 3 point shooting percentage, and Kevin Bland produced 10 points and 7.2 boards in the middle.
"I think they've done their best," Douglass said. "Sometimes you have real talented teams and you have expectations, and you get disappointed. I don't think I've ever had a team that was more enjoyable to coach and got the most out of what it had."

Romney's Florida Lead Cuts Across Categories
TAMPA, Fla.—Ever since Mitt Romney launched his second White House bid, the former Massachusetts governor has pinned his hopes on Florida. If the polls are right and the Sunshine State delivers him a decisive win Tuesday, his breadth of support could prove more telling than the margin of victory.
A win here would bolster Mr. Romney's claim that he is the best-suited candidate to oust President Barack Obama in the fall because Florida, as the nation's fourth-largest state, presents the GOP field its first true test in a diverse state that mirrors the country as a whole.
An NBC News/Marist College poll of likely primary voters released over the weekend found that Mr. Romney is the top pick of Hispanic Republicans, likely primary voters who describe themselves as liberal or moderator and voters that earn more than $75,000. He even has a slight edge over his rivals among evangelical Christians.
"Electability is a very big deal to people here," said state Senate President Mike Haridopolos, a Republican Romney backer. "Florida Republicans want someone who can be president."
Mr. Romney's main weakness in the state—as has been in early nominating contests—is among likely Republican primary voters who describe themselves as "very conservative," according to the NBC/Marist poll.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich topped that poll among these self-identified conservatives, many of whom don't think Mr. Romney has the vigor to spar with the president and make a credible case for smaller government.
"I think Newt could debate [Mr. Obama] with half his brain tied behind his back, and that's just to make it fair," said Mike Demas, a 77-year-old retired salesman who attended a Gingrich rally on Monday. "I like his passion. It seems to me that Romney just doesn't have it."
How Mr. Romney does with Florida's voter segments matters more than in other states because the state itself is seen as a microcosm for the general election. Republican candidates need a message that can appeal to veterans in Jacksonville, Cubans in Miami and evangelicals in the panhandle.
In the Tampa Bay region, mega-churches dot suburban and exurban communities that stretch north of the city along Interstate 75 and the Veterans Expressway. Across the area, home prices have slid.
A poll released over the weekend by the Miami Herald, the Tampa Bay Times and Bay News 9 showed Mr. Romney with a lead in most regions of the state, including South Florida where he finished a distant third place four years ago. The same poll gave him a 16 percentage-point lead in the Tampa Bay area.
Gerald Arnold, an 82-year-old retired chemist from West Virginia who now lives in the Tampa suburb of Lutz, worries the country has lost its moral bearing. He wants a candidate who will rattle the Washington establishment to get the economy back on track.
"The old guard needs a good kick in the pants," Mr. Arnold said. "I think it's mandatory that the Republican Party gets a little shook up."
Whatever the outcome of the primary, Florida Republicans are already doing a victory lap for positioning the state as the pivotal primary, after separate candidates won each of the first three nominating contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina—states with distinct sets of voters.
"I had hoped it would play out the way it has," said state House Speaker Dean Cannon, a Republican who helped orchestrate the move. "We allow the candidates to run a national-style campaign. We have a little bit of everything in Florida. We have urban, we have suburban, we have rural. We have rich, we have poor. We reflect all the demographics of this country."

The Dothan-Houston County Substance Abuse Partnership will observe National Red Ribbon Week starting Monday through October 14.
Houston County commissioners issued the proclamation Monday morning. Officials encouraged people across the county to wear red ribbons to show support of the program. They also asked school officials to remind students about the dangers of drug-use.
"It's about taking the information about how harmful these drug products are into the schools so our young people understand the consequences, and it's about understanding that statistics are people and not numbers. That every number represents someone's mother, brother, sister, or father who died from not understanding the harmful side effects of their choices"
Red-Ribbon Week started when undercover drug enforcement administration agent Kiki Camarena was killed during a drug-trafficking bust.

Daredevil is a hero who hasnât been afraid to explore darker moral territory over the years, so the premise of Shadowland -- what would happen if he simply became the kind of villain he normally fights -- seems like such a logical progression that itâs almost surprising it took so long to get here.
However, after a long build-up, they kind of cheated a little. At the moment, the events of Shadowland feel strangely unreal, because weâre still not clear on what happened to turn Matt into this dark version of himself. There are suggestions of possession, but it seems too sudden. He was on the path to darkness immediately before Shadowland began, but something has tipped him way, way over the ledge. As a Daredevil fan, Iâm not convinced itâs a satisfying twist.
On the plus side, itâs entirely credible that the Hand building a castle in the center of Hellâs Kitchen would not go unnoticed by the local super-heroes on the ground, and their introduction into the story -- Moon Knightâs in particular -- is perfectly pitched. Itâs less easy to see why Ghost Rider and Spider-Man are involved, though, beyond shifting units. The latter can just about get away with it by being part of the extended Daredevil cast (though his role as âMattâs concerned super-hero friendâ is filled several times over in this issue) but the formerâs presence is downright jarring and makes me wonder whether this story isnât going to suffer from its âkitchen-sinkâ casting decisions.
Tanâs artwork is vastly more suited to this issue than the one immediately prior, and his dialogue scenes -- never the artistâs strong point in the past -- are improving. Ghost Rider, Fisk, and Lady Bullseye are particularly well-drawn, and overall the poses seem less still than Tanâs usual fare. It's a welcome improvement.
The trouble with Shadowland, at the moment, is that it doesnât feel believable as an event book. The scenes that a Daredevil story would hinge on, such as Mattâs âintervention,â fall flat when they should be the centerpiece, and the cast feels positively padded out with heroes standing around doing little to justify their presence.
Diggleâs "Daredevil" run has been generally very strong, and the build-up to "Shadowland" has been fit to stand alongside the best of Bendis and Brubakerâs runs. But now that the event is here, something seems missing, and right now it appears to be the personal air that has made "Daredevil" a consistently brilliant series for the last 10 years. Itâs fair to say that after that long, thereâs nothing wrong with trying something new, but two issues into the story, itâs hard not to conclude that ultimately, it doesnât appear to be working.

Build this easy universal remote and command all your entertainment gadgets from your smartphone!
Is your remote control collection getting out of control? With a television, cable box, Blu-ray player, and stereo, not only does each remote take up space, but making them work to turn on the right devices and set the right inputs can be very frustrating! You might consider buying a fancy programmable remote control, but they can be expensive and sometimes don't offer the control or interface you want. This smart remote control project will show you how to build a device that can send and receive remote control codes from a web page. You can program exactly the functionality that you need from any smart phone or computer!
This project uses the Arduino Yún, which is a special Arduino that's perfect for network-connected devices. The Yún has two processors, one of which runs the Linux operating system and can connect to wired or wireless networks. The second processor is the same as the one used in the Arduino Leonardo. It therefore has great compatibility with Arduino libraries and hardware.
To send and receive remote control signals, this project uses an infrared LED and receiver. Infrared light is invisible to the human eye but easy for electronic sensors to detect. To make the transmission of signals more reliable, devices typically modulate (flash or flicker) infrared light very quickly, so there's less chance for stray infrared light (like from sunlight) to interfere. An infrared receiver is a small device that can pick up infrared signals modulated at a particular frequency, commonly 38kHz (38,000 times per second). Using an infrared receiver, an Arduino can detect the bits being sent by a remote control. And to play back a remote control signal, the Arduino can flash an infrared LED at 38kHz!
Taking command of your entertainment center is accomplished through a simple web interface which is run locally on the Yún and accessible to most web browsers. The website facilitates basic infrared device control and even allows for multiple commands to be strung together. For example, a 'Watch Movie' button might send the control codes to turn on your TV, Blu-ray player, and set the TV to the Blu-ray player input.
This is a moderately difficult project which will require some experience running Arduino sketches and using command line tools. The electronic components for this project are simple and can be easily assembled on a solderless breadboard.

Hi Mikey,
Great plug in and I've had the worst happen.
I posted this in another thread, but that one said it was "resolved" so I wasn't sure if you'd see it.
My website was hacked and I'm now trying to restore it from the backup.
I followed your instructions here: http://www.mikeyd.com.au/2011/10/26/restoring-wordpress-from-a-backup-to-dropbox-using-cpanel-and-phpmyadmin/
But I have an issue.
I'm trying to restore this website on a different hosting service. So the database names for the SQL file don't match.
Trying to restore it as you described returns an error message telling me I can't create new database and access is denied. Is this because the new host has a different prefix on the database than the old host?
Are there different instructions some place for restoring a website on another hosting server?
I already created a new database and got the WP files uploaded, changed the wp-config.php files to point at the new database and this got my website up, but I'm missing all the database files, pictures and theme formating.
Any help you can provide would be amazing.
Love the plug in, it's super simple. I know I have anything I need, just need some guidance on how to use it.
P.S. Also I noticed there are 2 SQL back ups, one for the "core" files and one for "plug-ins"
How do I use these? Your link didn't specify that there would be 2.

Re: How to BT w/Citi[ Edited ]
09-07-2012 02:16 AM - edited 09-07-2012 02:19 AM
It should have asked you at time of application, but if you declined then look online if you have access to a Citi account for a BT offer or simply call them. They will ask for the creditor (NAVY) ,account number you have with them as well, and balance amount you want credited. It can take up 2 weeks, so make sure you make at least a minumum payment at all costs for your Navy account this month.

In a study looking at changes in male genitalia over the past 50 years, Italian researchers found that penises were around 10 percent smaller today. The proposed explanations were reasonable: weight gain, pollution, stress and smoking; the researchers said, could be to blame.
Rush Limbaugh's explanation? Feminism. The conservative radio host blamed it on women, saying — "It has to be the feminazis, the chickification and everything else."
Ah yes, "the chickification." And the "everything else."
"Feminazi" has become a favorite term of Limbaugh's — he used it in his now infamous tirade against Georgetown Law student and feminist activist Sandra Fluke. "So, Ms. Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here's the deal," he said earlier this year. "If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it, and I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch."

Said Tayeb Jawad (Persian: سید طیب جواد, born 1958) is the Senior Political and Foreign Policy Advisor to His Excellency Chief Executive of Afghanistan Abdullah Abdullah. Jesse is also the CEO of Capitalize LLC, a strategic consulting firm. He was appointed Afghan Ambassador to the United States on December 4, 2003, by President Hamid Karzai and served as Ambassador until September 22, 2010. He also served as Afghanistan's non-resident Ambassador to Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Argentina. He was Chief of Staff to the Afghan President in 2002 and 2003.
In October 2010, he joined Harvard University's Future of Diplomacy Project at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs in the John F. Kennedy School of Government as the inaugural Fisher Family Fellow.[1] In February 2011, he became Diplomat-in-Residence at Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies.[2] He also currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Capitalize LLC,[3] a Washington-based strategic consulting company and the Chairman of the Foundation for Afghanistan.[4] He is also a Global Political Strategist at APCO Worldwide.[5]
Said Tayeb Jawad was born in Kandahar, and was educated at Lycée Esteqlal and at the School of Law and Political Sciences in Kabul University. In 1980, shortly after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, he left the country and went into exile in Germany, where he studied law at Westfaelische Wilhelms University in Münster.[6][7]
In 1986 he settled in the United States, where he earned his MBA from the Golden Gate University in San Francisco and worked for a number of prominent law firms, including as a legal consultant at Steefel, Levitt & Weiss, a San Francisco Embarcadero law firm.[6]
Jawad serves as the Senior Political and Foreign Policy Advisor to the Chief Executive of Afghanistan (an honorary position) alongside his position as CEO at Capitalize LLC, a strategic consulting firm specializing in the investment, security, development and political environments of Afghanistan and the greater Gulf region.
He is fluent in several languages, including Dari (Persian), Pashto, English, German and French. He is married to Shamim Jawad, Founder and President of the a charitable organization that works on projects for women and children in Afghanistan.
Public service[edit]
Return to Afghanistan[edit]
Jawad went back to Afghanistan in March 2002. He worked for Afghan President Hamid Karzai's office and became his press secretary. By June, in addition to trying to coordinate the loya jirga, or grand council, for thousands of delegates and journalists, Jawad had become Karzai's Chief of Staff.[8]
Until late 2003 he served as the President's Press Secretary, Chief of Staff, and the Director of the Office of International Relations at the Presidential Palace. Jawad has worked closely with President Karzai in formulating strategies, implementing policies, building national institutions and prioritizing reforms in Afghanistan. He also worked with the U.S. and Afghanistan's military experts to help reform the Ministry of Defense, disarm local warlords and rebuild the Afghan National Army. Jawad was instrumental in drafting Afghanistan's foreign investment laws; he served as President Karzai's principal liaison with the constitutional commission throughout the drafting of the Constitution of Afghanistan. As Chief of Staff he accompanied the President and managed all foreign trips and state visits. He observed cabinet meetings and participated in the National Security Council meetings.[9]
In October 2003 he was appointed Afghanistan's Ambassador to the United States.[10]
Ambassador to the U.S.[edit]
On December 4, 2003, Jawad assumed his official duties as Ambassador of Afghanistan to the United States and non-resident ambassador to Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Argentina, making him Afghanistan's 19th top representative to the U.S. since diplomatic relations were established between the two countries in 1934."Embassy of Afghanistan – History – About the Embassy". Retrieved May 21, 2009.
As part of his role as Afghanistan's envoy to the U.S., Jawad has worked closely with two presidential administrations on U.S. strategy towards Afghanistan; developed close links to members of the U.S. Congress; hosted numerous visits of high-level ministers and President Karzai; appeared in newspaper, magazine, radio and television interviews; spoken before audiences at universities, think tanks, charitable organizations and community groups; and received awards and commendations for his work for Afghanistan.
Jawad has appeared numerous times in major American and international papers and television shows. He also regularly lectures and speaks at prominent universities and think tanks. According to the Washington Times Jawad has maintained a high profile for Afghanistan, even as most public attention since 2003 has been focused on the Iraq War.Washington Times: Afghan Progress
In late 2009 there were rumours that Jawad would be appointed foreign minister of AfghanistanMondiaal Nieuws Nieuwe regering, maar oude gewoonten in AfghanistanTolo TV: Afghan people want removal of present cabinet members but Karzai appointed Zalmai Rasul instead.
Jawad has participated in hundreds of conferences and forums related to Afghanistan and the region. Jawad is an avid polo player and a member of the Capitol Polo Club in Maryland. He played in the Green Cup and is a member of the United States Polo Association. Jawad has participated in many significant conferences and forums related to Afghanistan and the region in the past decade.[1]
Political views[edit]
Having lived in Europe and the USA for more than 25 years, Jawad is familiar with western views on society and politics. He has been supportive of the American War on Terror[11][12] and of involvement of women in Afghan politics. Jawad has said that the biggest concern that Afghans have about the international presence is that it might be short-lived.[13]
Jawad has been loyal to President Hamid Karzai. He publicly defended Karzai against allegations of corruption and said that he is the most hard-working president Afghanistan has ever had.[14] Nevertheless, in October 2009 he was the first Karzai aide to suggest that a run-off between Karzai and his challenger Abdullah Abdullah was very likely after allegations of election fraud.[15] He said that a power sharing agreement between Karzai and Abdullah would be a good political solution but said he doubted that it would bring more skillful people to the government and that a coalition government meant sacrificing merits.[16][17]
Jawad and his wife have worked several times with former U.S. first lady Laura Bush in promoting awareness of rights for Afghan woman and children.[18][19] However Jawad criticized the Bush administration sometimes on using so much aerial bombing, resulting in civilian casualties, Jawad has expressed his gratitude to the US and foreign military powers in Afghanistan on a large number of occasions. Towards President Barack Obama, who was less supportive of Afghan President Karzai, Jawad was more critical: "When the new administration came in there were a lot of changes and sometimes there was an oversimplification of the issues. Now the Obama administration is realizing you cannot just get rid of a democratically elected president of a country because you don't really like him." he said to United Press International.[16] Further Jawad has voiced opposition to President Obama's plan to begin withdrawing troops from Afghanistan starting summer 2011.[20] Jawad stressed the importance of continued international presence to avoid a situation as in the early 90s.
Jawad has stressed that too much of the international aid and military effort had bypassed the Afghan government which makes it impossible to build competent government and security.[21] Jawad also has said that eradication of poppies is not the best solution to the Afghan narcotics problem.[22] In May 2005 Jawad signed a memorandum of understanding for the city of light, a large reconstruction plan for the center of Kabul.
Jawad has criticized Pakistan for not doing enough to stop the Taliban insurgency.[23] Although he recognizes that new Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari seems much more committed to battling terrorism than his predecessor, General Pervez Musharraf. But, according to Jawad, Pakistan's army still appears to be more preoccupied with the country's traditional nemesis, India.[24]
In November 2013, Jawad participated with the Loya Jirga in Kabul to discuss and offer his insights on the status and terms of the Bilateral Security Agreement, the Presidential elections and political transition, as well as the international community's level of economic assistance, military engagement and jurisdiction for operating foreign troops in the country up to and post-2014.
Awards, honorary degrees and international conferences[edit]
Awards and honorary degrees granted to Jawad include the Constitutional Loya Jirga Service, Medal, Government of Afghanistan, Kabul, Afghanistan, 2003; Global Citizen Award, Roots of Peace, Washington, D.C., 2008; Honorary Doctorate Degree in Organization Leadership, Argosy University, Washington, D.C. 2007; and the Award of Merit for Rebuilding a Nation, American Society for Engineering Education, Washington, D.C, 2007.
In his role as Senior Political and Foreign Policy Advisor to the CEO of Afghanistan, Ambassador Jawad was a key participant in the US Afghanistan Dialogue at Camp David, which was hosted by Secretary of State John Kerry on March 23, 2015. Jawad attended the Dialogue as part of the Afghan Delegation, which consisted of Afghanistan's President, Chief Executive Officer, and other high ranking government officials.http://aboutcampdavid.blogspot.com/2015/07/secretary-of-state-john-kerry-hosts.html
Jawad was selected by the U.S Department of Commerce to participate in the World Economic Forum on the Middle East and North Africa. He attended and contributed to the Forum in Amman, Jordan from 21-23 May, 2015. http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_MENA15_Meeting_Overview.pdf
Jawad attended the fifth anniversary of the Concordia Summit held in New York City on October 1 and 2, 1015. The Concordia Summit convened the world's preeminent leaders and decision makers to address the world's most pressing global challenges and emphasizing the need for effective cross-sector collaboration to lead to a more prosperous and sustainable future. Jawad attended and contributed to the Summit as an active Concordia member.<http://www.concordia.net/the-summit-2015/>
Jawad has attended and been a key contributor to various Halifax International Security Forums, most recently the one which convened on the 20-23 November 2015. The forum served as a platform for various international leaders, diplomats, and security professionals to comment on and assess the change in the increased threat level in the global landscape.
The International Development Law Organization (IDLO) hosted Ambassador Jawad at their headquarters in Rome, as an honored guest and key contributor to their Assembly of Parties. He contributed to the Organization's internal review regarding the best platform to approach rule of law and development in various countries, including work specifically in Afghanistan.

These were simply amazing! Due to what we had, we used white wine and tomato sauce... didn't matter. I think I'll be hounding Tom to make these again and again. YUMMY!
Excellent flavors! I will definitely be making these again. I actually used canned tomatoes, white wine and I used cinnamon sugar, since I usually add a pinch of sugar to tomatoes. I cooked the liquid out and served over couscous. I love it! Thanks for posting. Made for Herb/Spice of the Month.
Mmm mmm. After it'd finished cooking i just put some couscous in the pan, put the lid on & let the juices soak in. It was unattractive, but easy & tasty. Served as a side. I've made it before & I'll make it again. :)

I have a Wacom digitizer with pen and Windows 7. Whenever I push down with the pen on the digitizer plate to click, Windows shows a "ripple" effect (an expanding, semi-transparent circle) where I click. It's terribly annoying and I can't find anywhere to turn it off.
Places I have looked:
- Mouse control panel
- Pen & Touch control panel
- Tablet PC control panel
- Ease of Access Center
- Wacom's Tablet Settings application
- System control panel > Advanced > Performance > Visual Effects
Is there really no way to get rid of that effect?
For the record, I have a desktop PC with a regular (non-touch, non-tablet-input) display. The only tablet/pen input I have is an old-fashioned digitizer tablet.

Q: What's the perfect answer to: "You know what your problem is?"
A: "A simple 'I do, thank you' leaves the person with no opening to expound further."
— Lisa Caputo, chairman and CEO of Citi's Women & Co.
"There's no correct answer to a trick question. Just say, 'No, and I'm doing fine without knowing.'"
— Rudy Rasmus, pastor of St. John's United Methodist Church in Houston
"'Don't tell me, or I'll have no more mystery in my life.' Glibness aside, if you have the self-possessed fortitude to listen to the answer without defensiveness, you will most likely learn something about yourself—and about the person who's got you all figured out."

So I've been spending most of the day making a custom theme. I finish it and everything is working fine, so I went to dinner, came back and the Jetpack form is suddenly not working on any of my pages.
I switched themes and the forms come back, so it's obviously the custom theme that I created. It's just weird that it was working fine when I left.
Anyone have any suggestions on where to look to resolve this issue?

very cool... nice concept
Well done! A well deserved DD
hmm, how bout a full body version
I do have a question regarding the white circles on her mask. If she is supposed to be the queen, why does she have A-01 on one of the other panels? I'm only guessing that this is her model number or something, but if she is a Queen, shouldn't she be perfect? Perfect as in, it takes more than one make of a robot to make a perfect design... So, wouldn't the number be higher?
It could be a rank thing, an abbreviation of Alpha one, showing her status at the top of the hierarchy. Or it could be naming her as the original, the creator of all the rest, if your in an ant sort of mind set. It really depends on your interpretation.
nice (n_n)
Awesome work.
Congrats on the well deserved DD!

Just a heads up incase anyone else is having this issue.
I added a quiz and put in the shortcode but when I viewed the quiz page nothing showed up.
The problem turned out to be a conflict with SEO Ultimate's Meta Descriptions.

1. Re: How can I extract vocals from a track to use as an acapella?_durin_ May 2, 2012 10:43 AM (in response to danbs10)
Your success with isolating vocals from a song depends almost entirely on how the song was mixed, and will vary greatly. There is no perfect solution, though many times the artifacts that remain can be minimized within a mix. Generally, you'll have the best success with music where the vocals are panned to a specific location in the mix - usually dead center, but the tool can be used to isolate any position in the stereo field - without too much instrumentation spreading into this area. Bass sounds are usually mixed center as well, so you may need to to some additional EQ or Spectral removal of low frequencies after you complete the extraction step.
The tool you'll want to use in Audition is the Center Channel Extractor effect, located under the Effects > Stereo Imagery menu. Start with the Acapella preset, then change the Extract parameter to Custom for some additional control. Select the region you wish to isolate (it's often better to isolate passages separately as, for example, verses can be mixed very differently from a chorus) and begin playback with the effect open. Use the Power button to temporarily bypass the effect so you can note the differences.
Adjust the Phase Angle and Pan parameters to maximize the vocals while minimizing the instrumentation. Use the Frequency Range parameters to help reduce some of the low-end and high-end mix that is not associated with the vocals. The two vertical controls on the right allow you to adjust the levels of what's being isolated vs. everything else. (Flip-Flop these to make a Karaoke mix.) Under the Discrimination tab, the most important parameters will be the Crossover Bleed and Phase Discrimination controls. You can adjust the FFT parameters under the Advanced tab, though I wouldn't recommend it until you're comfortable with the tool. You don't necessarily need to know exactly what ever parameter does, but listen closely while you make adjustments and you'll begin to understand how each parameter affects the result.

The instructions in the post above yours from Durin tells you exactly how to do it.
4. Re: How can I extract vocals from a track to use as an acapella?Dangerpays Aug 13, 2015 4:12 PM (in response to _durin_)
Awesome! Thanks for this. It worked great for me. I followed your instructions to the T and was able to remove most of the unwanted background music from my file. Getting into the Discrimination tab was the real key for me. When I adjusted and experimented with the parameters within that tab I found I was able to greatly reduce the unwanted bg music and enhance the vocals nicely. I used your technique as well as a little bit of the noise reduction tool where there was music, but no vocals as the speaker was taking a pause. Thanks!

The pressure on water and wastewater infrastructure in Canadian municipalities continues to rise with the need for increased capacity and upgrades. Demands to extend and maintain municipal infrastructure means that capital costs threaten to swallow municipal budgets. A water efficiency strategy has helped some municipalities to maintain or reduce their residential and commercial water consumption. This demand adjustment then allows the municipality to defer some capital investment. But relying solely on municipal governments to see that water demand policies are implemented, and enforced, is unwise. Government priorities and responsibilities change, citizen interests evolve and funding programs can be cut. Yet the private sector's contribution to promoting and sustaining residential and commercial water efficiency initiatives remains an untapped opportunity for collaboration. Conventional explanations for this neglect are that the private sector has been slow to embrace efficiency innovations because they are not economically viable and because buyers are not interested. The challenge is how to assess innovative builders and then translate the findings for policy-makers in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario, Canada. This study used qualitative methods to assess the 'tacit knowledge' as a critical variable for innovative realtors and builders. We also assessed the legislative environment and the builders' organizational cultures to generate new and proactive insights for residential water efficiency. By understanding the professionals' learning processes, their rationale for action, and the organizational cultures in which they operate, more nuanced policy recommendations at multiple levels are possible.
