A New York Times Bestseller -- To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, she has come to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark world of immortals or pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fate of two tribes hangs.

Great love stories thrive on sacrifice. Throughout The Twilight Saga (Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse), Stephenie Meyer has emulated great love stories--Romeo and Juliet, Wuthering Heights--with the fated, yet perpetually doomed love of Bella (the human girl) and Edward (the vampire who feeds on animals instead of humans). In Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final installment in the series, Bella's story plays out in some unexpected ways. The ongoing conflicts that made this series so compelling--a human girl in love with a vampire, a werewolf in love with a human girl, the generations-long feud between werewolves and vampires--resolve pretty quickly, apparently so that Meyer could focus on Bella's latest opportunity for self-sacrifice: giving her life for someone she loves even more than Edward. How close she comes to actually making that sacrifice is questionable, which is a big shift from the earlier books. Even though you knew Bella would make it through somehow, the threats to her life, and to her relationship with Edward, had previously always felt real. It's as if Meyer was afraid of hurting her characters too much, which is unfortunate, because the pain Bella suffered at losing Edward in New Moon, and the pain Jacob suffered at losing Bella again and again, are the fire and the heart that drive the whole series. Diehard fans will stick with Bella, Edward, and Jacob for as many twists and turns as possible, but after most of the characters get what they want with little sacrifice, some readers may have a harder time caring what happens next.

Dandelion is a 3D graph rendering application which can be controlled across a network. Its main purpose is to allow clear network graphs to be rendered in a window, which can be controlled by a separate application or the user. The Dandelion visualization is actually controlled by issuing simple commands to it across the network (although this could all be happening on a single machine). The Dandelion source includes a set of very simple libraries which can be incorporated into other applications and which can be used to send these commands. Libraries are included for C, C#, Java, and Python. The project was developed at Liverpool John Moores University within the PROTECT Centre.

ive just bought an Asus 1215N Netbook for ~500. It comes with an ION2 GPU and a lot of Power, so i decided to run BT4 on it.
But ive read about some problems with 1366x768 resolution with the ion2... It would be a shame if I could only use the 1024x768 resolution. So I wanted to ask if there is already a known fix and whether there are already opportunities to use the full resolution?
Please help me
I think, what you will see in the live cd, will be the result after installing it. So first please run the live cd first and check if it goes well then you can decide whether to install it in hard drive or in virtual machine only.

Pizza Dough Retarder Tables
Dough Retarder. A dough retarder or pizza prep table is the perfect tool for any restaurant business working with dough. Dough Retarders come with or without marble tops. Marble tops are great for dough. Stainless steel top dough retarders and pizza prep tables will certainly get the job done. Dough retarders generally have a deeper prep area. Pizza prep tables generally have a refrigerated rail. When choosing a model consider: drawers, doors, combination of the two, size, certification this will help you know which pizza prep table is best for you. Dough retarders fit food pans to store ingredients. Casters are good for easy cleaning, and mobility. Custom designs and sizes are available upon request.

Dough Retarders: Buying Guides
Any pizzeria needs a pizza dough retarder to refrigerate the dough and store the condiments. Commercial pizza dough retarders are the perfect tool to separate your restaurant/pizzeria from the competition. Dough retarder refrigerators come with a 32" deep work top space which typically comes in stainless steel, plastic, or marble. The marble top is a favorite, and is said to be the best for working with dough. Dough retarders come in a variety of different sizes and generally come refrigerated. Pizza dough retarders hold hotel sized pans which can be great for cheese or sauce. The construction of pizza dough retarders are stainless steel and typically include an integrated door light.
Top 3 Questions:
What Size Do I Need? Before purchasing a dough retarder be sure to take proper measurements. Important measurements to consider are length, width, and height. Be sure to know how much work top space you need.
Marble, Stainless Steel, or Plastic? Consider the type of work top you want for your pizza restaurant. Stainless steel and plastic are a sturdy and more economical choice. Marble is a "dough making" all-time favorite.
Caster or Legs? Caster also known as, wheels are a great option. Casters allow the dough retarder to be moved easily for duties such as cleaning. Locks on the wheels ensure the dough retarder will not move out of place.

After more than a year in development, and part of Founder and CEO Bob McKnight's lifetime vision for Quiksilver, the brand is rolling out a new outdoor-inspired outerwear line to debut its newly formed "Mountain Division." The initial launch, which officially take place at this week's Outdoor Retailer (OR) in Salt Lake City, where the brand's efforts will be 90% focused on the new line, gives buyers their first look at Fall 2012's 17 men's jackets, including goose down puffies; 10k , 5k, and 3k rain coats, shells, and city jackets; and DWR soft shells.
With a mountain-city savvy look, the new line is Quiksilver's take on outdoor gear's functions married with a look that translates from the Appalachian Trail to the Portland fixie crowd.
"Bob [McKnight] has always had this vision to make everything you need for everything you want to do – you shouldn't have to go to other brands just because you're doing other activities," says Senior Vice President Quiksilver Design Matt Anderson, who handles apparel and accessories in addition to the Mountain Division.
"It's outdoor with a different point of view," continues Anderson from a showroom in Quiksilver's newest building at its Huntington Beach, California headquarters (follow the jump for a quick tour of the new facility and employee store). "It's more fashion forward, action sports inspired styling—you don't want to always look like you're camping when you're in the mountains and the elements."
The Mountain Division is completely separate from Quiksilver Snow, designed to help round out the brand's offerings, and make it a true four-season company, as well as broaden its appeal across demographics from the slopes, to the streets, and back to the beaches—basically everywhere its devotees from one sport can be found following other passions. From camping, to the river, and out on boat trips, Mountain Division is designed to add the Quiksilver touch to what has traditionally been the playground of outdoor-focused brands like Patagonia, The North Face, Cloudveil and others.
"Obviously we have our snowboarding gear, but we hadn't fully addressed the cold weather component of our business before," says John Mills, Quiksilver's senior vice president for sales. "We saw a real opportunity to bring functional gear with technical properties and our unique spin. Our target customer currently wears other brands for those needs because Quiksilver hasn't been there."
Mountain Division will be sold through Quiksilver's traditional core retailers and sporting goods shops where it will be displayed in the outdoor section, and it also offers the brand an opportunity to target the specialty outdoor channel—a group of retailers that is increasingly looking to broaden its base due to an aging demographic and a multitude of competitive pressures.
The product features subtle color hits, subdued branding, and a color palette from classic outdoor gear, as well as the technical features, waterproofing, and action-sports inspired stylings of Quiksilver's heritage. The first line is a soft launch focused solely on competitively priced jackets. Ladies, sorry, but you'll have to wait as the first launch is all for the gents, but Quik will be looking at expanding the line for its 2013 Spring, Fall, and Holiday lines, hinting at plans of expanding not just to women's, but also bottoms and other apparel based on the initial response and so far it's looking good. Reps have received samples and have been showing them to key accounts and according to Designer Eric Williamson, "all the riders, reps, and accounts have been really amped."
Here's a sneak peek of the line:

There are plenty of things that can go into making a player fit the mold of playing bad at the major league level. Being a high draft pick, signing a big free agent contract, or being part of a big trade can get hopes higher for a player than they ever should be.
So far in the Worst Twins of All-Time Series, there have been a variety of ways that the players featured have joined the organization. Butch Huskey was a free agent signing by the club to try and fill a hole at DH. Terry Felton was a second-round pick out of high school so there are expectations with that high of a pick. Scott Klingenbeck was traded to the Twins as part of the Scott Erickson deal. Matt Walbeck was given the starting catcher's job after being traded to the Twins.
As you can see, there are plenty of ways for a player to find futility as a member of the Twins.
One of the easiest ways to not reach high expectations is to be a highly drafted player. There are a lot of bumps along the way to the big leagues and not every high draft pick is going to make it big. The Twins teams of the 1990s had plenty of high draft picks that went bust on the road to "The Show."
This is only part of the story for the latest installment of the "Worst Twins of All-Time".... Dave McCarty
Things were flying high in the Twin Cities in 1991, as the team would be heading for their second championship in less than five years. It was a worst-to-first turnaround for the Twins. This meant that the 1990 club had done poor enough to give the Twins a high draft pick the following summer. The organization would look to the college ranks with the third pick in the draft and find a first baseman named Dave McCarty.
McCarty's college experience would help him to move quickly through the Twins minor league system. He would skip a couple of levels to start his minor league career and he made it all the way to Double-A. Over 43 games, he hit .304/.422/.486 with 13 extra-base hits. The team would start him back at Double-A in 1992 and he would make his Triple-A debut that year.
The 1993 season was one the best for McCarty in the minor leagues. His second stint in the Pacific Coast League was some of his best baseball. He batted .385/.477/.629 with eight home runs and 11 doubles in 40 games. The power wasn't exactly where the Twins would have liked it to be but it didn't seem to make much sense to keep him in the minor leagues.
Minnesota would call-up McCarty in the middle of May and he would stick with the club for the rest of the season. His hot hitting streak from the minor leagues followed him to the big league level. During his first 18 games, he hit .365/.390/.514 and that included a 13-game hitting streak. He also had eight multi-hit games so things were off to a fast start.
Things went in the tubes from there for McCarty. In his last 75 games of the season, McCarty would hit .178/.229/.233 with 61 SO and only 11 extra-base hits. It also didn't help that he was pretty awful on the defensive side of the ball. He had six errors in the corner outfield positions and three errors at first base. This all added up to a -2.9 WAR for the 1993 season.
Over the next couple of seasons, McCarty would spend more time at the Triple-A level than at the big leagues. The Twins were disappointed with his performance and he didn't really redeem himself during the 1994 and 1995 season. It was time for a change of scenery and McCarty was sent to the Giants for
left-handed pitcher John Courtright, an eighth round pick from the same draft as McCarty. He would never play higher than Double-A with the Twins.
For his career with the Twins, McCarty hit .226/.275/.310 with 34 extra-base hits over 575 plate appearances. His poor first season was tough to overcome and he finished with a -3.4 WAR during his Twins tenure. He was bad on the offensive side of ball and the defensive side of the ball wasn't much better.
McCarty would actually put together a professional career that stretched all the way to 2005. He would make stops in San Francisco, Seattle, Kansas City, Tampa Bay, Oakland, and Boston. The Royals had him play over 200 games with their club in 2000-01 and these were his most productive years. He would be a World Series Champion in 2004 with the Red Sox and he even got to pitch in three games during that title run. As part of those appearances, he struck out Jayson Werth and Rafael Palmeiro.
The Red Sox wanted to send him to the minor leagues at the beginning of the 2005 season but he refused so the club was forced to release him. He would be hired as a Red Sox analyst for the NESN later that season. McCarty would stay in that position until the end of the 2008 season.
Minnesota had high hopes for McCarty when they drafted him with one of the highest picks in franchise history. He didn't live up to those expectations but he did put together a serviceable MLB career. He made close to $4 million and he got to play parts of 11 seasons at the big league level.

NFL Draft > 2009 Prospects > OL > Andre Smith
Andre Smith Scouting Report
|Alabama Crimson Tide
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'4 - 340 lbs.
2009 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Andre Smith, OL, Alabama
Smith and fellow SEC offensive tackle Michael Oher (Ole Miss) once led the way in what has always been thought of as an extremely strong offensive linemen draft class in 2009. The former Alabama standout was named his team's Offensive Player of the Year as a sophomore and was a 2007 Coaches First-Team All-SEC selection. An ankle injury kept him out of the Crimson Tide's season opener against Clemson, but Smith bounced back to lead Nick Saban and company to the SEC Championship Game and the Sugar Bowl. Smith is a massive presence at 6'4'' and 340 pounds, but what sets him apart is his footwork and quickness. Rarely does a lineman of Smith's size move with the agility he does. Durability should not become too much of an issue, as Smith started every single game at left tackle in Tuscaloosa as a sophomore. The off-season, however, has not gone smoothly. Smith's work ethic has been called into question and leaving the combine early did not help. That's the main reason why he has been surpassed by OTs such as Jason Smith and Eugene Monroe. Still, Smith's talent is undeniable and he will be a first-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Prediction: 1st Round
Who cares where he's drafted. He is the second coming of Keith Mccants. For those of you who don't know who this is google his name. Smith would be be better served by playing guard in the pros.

Ready to banish the plastic water bottle? You can choose to drink water straight from the tap, which the federal government says is largely safe, or you can filter that tap water for contaminants and chemicals, and to freshen the taste.
If you choose to filter you be joining an apparent migration away from disposable bottled water to more efficient home filtering. The estimated revenue for the water-filter pitcher/carafe market last year was $183 million (excluding Walmart), a 24 percent growth rate since 2005, according to one research group.
There are at least a dozen systems to choose from, starting with market-leader Brita (owned by Clorox), which has dominated the water-filter pitcher market in the U.S. for years, and including number two seller, PUR, and an array of other big and boutique brands. All offer a variety of styles, safeguards, bells and whistles.
Here are the highlights of 12 brands on the market:
There are 17 styles of Brita water-filter pitchers, ranging from the Slim Pitcher (holds 5 cups, $11) to the larger Deluxe (10 cups, $25) to the Grand (10 cups, $32) which comes in four color options. The Grand (and nine other styles) has an electronic filter-change indicator, and many of Brita's pitchers have flip-top lids and soft-grip handles.
Brita says its filters last about two months and filter about 40 gallons. It says each filter can save as many as 300 plastic water bottles. One filter is $8, and a six-pack is $38.
Its larger countertop model is the Ultramax Dispenser, which holds 18 cups and can fit in the refrigerator with a bit of extra space, $42.
Brita says its pitcher is BPA free and its filters remove bad tastes/odors, chlorine and the heavy metals copper, cadmium and mercury.
Recycling of filters has been an issue for the green consumer, so in 2008 Brita launched a recycling program where consumers can drop off their filter at an area Whole Foods Market or mail them back to the company.

34 35th St., Unit 26, Brooklyn, NY, 11232
Eyebeam is more committed than ever to working with its illustrious extended alumni family in producing new programming in our West Chelsea space and providing support for your ideas around public programs and workshops. As this is our 15th anniversary year, we are looking for exciting ideas, large and small, that either look back to our past accomplishments or forward to new challenges.
In 2012, we are reinvigorating our plans to work with alumni in creative and inspiring ways, beginning on a rolling proposal basis. We hold program meetings on the 3rd Tuesday of every month and will review proposals at that time. Unfortunately, we can't say yes to everything, but we want to support your ongoing work as much as possible. Budgets are tight, but outside of that we can offer space and limited production support and a thriving and active collaborative environment of amazing artists and technologists. And with enough lead time we can work with you to identify possible funding sources for larger projects.
We are currently considering proposals for:
1) Workshops - opportunity to share ideas in a hands-on environment that engages a wide range of ages and skill levels, with a focus on project-based or theme-based activities.
2) Installations in Main Space - We are planning to keep the eastern 2/3 of our Main Space open for public presentation of work through installation or potentially one-off events (currently the Lumarca and SpacePod) when not in use for Exhibitions or rentals. At the moment, we have availability from February 20 'til April 1 and would be very interested in hearing your ideas about larger scale works/installations that could fill the space.
3) Window Gallery - We've activated our Window Gallery on 21st Street and are interested in hearing curatorial or individual proposals for works that could potentially be exhibited there. Exact dimensions can be provided upon request.
4) Project Space - The Eyebeam Project Space is a new initiative to show work that can benefit from user-testing and presentation. It can act as a temporary installation and or performance space, it is setup near the front of the R&D Lab area. Exact dimensions are available upon request.
5) Sound Proposals - The Eyebeam Sound Research Group is very active and we are initiating a new series of sound performance events and presentations, including installations, hackathons, performances, symposia, and other types of events. If you work in sound, please join our research group and help us put together exciting events!
6) Screening Series - From the beginning of April, Eyebeam will initiate a screening series, the first thematic is around "Made @ Eyebeam", short moving image works that were developed at Eyebeam or grew out of work started at Eyebeam. If you have work you'd like included, let us know!
7) CoLab - Need a desk and an internet connection in Chelsea during Eyebeam's Open Hours (Tuesday - Saturday, 12-6)? Submit a brief outline that includes how many hours and which days you would like to use a desk here and we'll try our best to accommodate you, depending on how many current Residents and Fellows are working with us at any given time. This is a test stage of alumni access that will eventually feed into a larger CoLab co-working initiative, providing space and tools for alumni and partner organizations at a highly subsidized rate. Now, for a limited time and depending on availability, a desk and internet connection can be provided free of charge at a maximum 1.5 month basis (this will increase once we move into more permanent CoLab space), with potential to renew. Requires scheduling at minimum two weeks in advance.
8) ReBlog - We're going to resuscitate the highly influential and still very cool ReBlog, work is being done as we speak to bring the archives back online and create a new presentation of this visionary project. If you would like to be a ReBlogger, just let us know. Alumni get first dibs.
9) Your KickStarter project on our curated page - If you would like to have your KickStarter project featured on the Eyebeam curated page, just drop us a line, and we'll add it!
10) Updates to the Eyebeam Facade - Historically, the Eyebeam facade on 21st has been a hot spot for graffiti artists and muralists. We'd like to hear your ideas about work that could be presented on one of our most valuable assets: the giant Eyebeam wall. Eventually we'll create an open call with specific criteria, but in the meantime we're open to suggestions from you, the creators that know us the best.

Scene Info
Kyle King spots Matt Cole across the pool so he dives in and swims up right between his legs. They jump out of the water and start making out, but Kyle gets on all fours and dives for Matt's huge cock. Matt's loving the blow job but it's Kyle's big round ass in the air that drives him wild. He mounts the suntanned stud and fucks him hard. The athletic ass-pounding, combined with the 90 degree heat, causes both men to dive into the pool for relief. When they come back out it's Kyle's turn to fuck the hell out of Matt. The muscular sun-Gods fuck until the sun goes down!

Everyone loves the smell of fresh-baked brownies coming from the oven. But some of the best can pop out of your mailbox too, if you know where to look. The tasters at America's Test Kitchen just tested brownies from 8 leading mail-order gourmet bakers. They ordered brownie assortments and rated the basic brownie from each company.
Fairytale Brownies
Price: $59.95 for 12 individually wrapped brownies, plus 2 dessert sauces. This Phoenix-based company describes itself as the "nation's largest mail-order gourmet brownie company." Faux suede box with leather trim and stylish purple satin bow make this an especially attractive gift option. "Original" brownie fared just so-so in tasting, but our panel was more excited by the decadent Raspberry Swirl brownies.

Virtual Debug Interface (VSTREAM)
Systems are getting more complex. More cores, more peripherals, GPU integration and a complex memory hierarchy. Tackling this complexity with system level validation from the early stages of product development helps your engineering team to avoid potential problems that might otherwise surface after tape-out. VSTREAM brings all the features of the powerful ARM DS-5 Debugger to your emulator or RTL simulator to make this process rapid.
Connect to the Leading Emulators and RTL Simulators
VSTREAM is a fast and flexible virtual debug interface that connects software debuggers to hardware assisted verification systems such as Cadence Palladium, Synopsys (formerly Eve) ZeBu and Mentor Veloce and RTL simulators like Cadence Incisive, Mentor ModelSim & Questa and Synopsys VCS.
All the Features of a Debug Adapter, Virtually
VSTREAM enables the stop-mode debug features usually available in professional debug adapters including stopping the processor, view and change the value of processor registers and system memory and single-step through code. However, this is not via a physical JTAG connection, but via SCE-MI2 or ZEMI-3 transactors directly into the SoC RTL. Not only is this virtual connection much faster, but it is also easier to start remotely, not requiring any modification to the emulator hardware set-up.
- Features & Specification
- Supports all ARM Cortex processors
- Supports Mentor® Veloce®, Synopsys® ZeBu® and Cadence® Palladium® series emulators
- Virtual solution: no hardware required
- Supports Cadence Incisive, Mentor ModelSim & Questa and Synopsys VCS RTL simulators
- Remote access over TCP/IP, remote target reset
- Code download speeds of over 200 KBps
- Code stepping at 1.5 steps/s
- On-chip trace buffer support
- Emulator workstation requires Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
DS-5 and VSTREAM Integration
The ARM DS-5 suite is the ideal companion to VSTREAM. Used together they can help verify the correct implementation of the debug and trace fabric of the SoC, including any CoreSight components, by running high-level test patterns and connecting an actual debugger to the RTL simulator. The connection of the processor to the memory system and memory-mapped peripherals can be validated easily by opening memory views in the debugger. Instead of finding problems with a design's debug architecture after tape-out they can now be found in the RTL.
VSTREAM supports post-process PTM™ and ETM™ instruction trace after a simulation run in order to get a history of instructions executed by the processor in a non-intrusive way.

If you haven't yet negotiated your lube oil contract for 2007, you'll soon discover that you'll be making decisions you never faced before. For example, Should you buy CI-4 Plus or CJ-4 as your engine oil, or should you stock both?
For the first time in memory, two grades of diesel engine oils will be available from most suppliers. Previously, new diesel oil formulations were "backward compatible" and improved. This meant they could be used instead of any previous formulation with increased performance in almost every respect, and the preceding grade of oil quickly disappeared.
The oil developed for engines with 2007 emissions controls is different. So much has changed that CJ-4 uses different chemical technologies. And because CJ-4 is different, most suppliers will continue to provide the older CI-4 Plus for the foreseeable future.
To decide which oil is right for your fleet, you need to understand the differences. To help visualize how oils compare, engineers use spider graphs. They're called spider graphs because they resemble spider webs. These comparative tools have multiple linear axes, along which results are plotted. The further from the center zero point, the better the performance. Each new specification adds new tests, as shown in the illustration.
Engines produced after Jan. 1, 2007, must meet the world's most stringent emissions controls to date. They will get even tighter in 2010 when another new oil will be available. The most obvious differences between current diesels and 2007 engines are:
1. 2007 on-road engines must use ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) with a maximum of 15 parts-per-million (ppm) sulfur. Today's engines run on low sulfur diesel (LSD) at 500 ppm. Sulfur is an excellent lubricant, but as an impurity, it is a significant contributor to acid formulation in the combustion process. It also contaminates emissions-reduction equipment.
To neutralize acids in engines, oil contains alkaline compounds that convert to sulfated ash during combustion.
2. 2007 on-road engines will need diesel particulate filters (DPFs) with diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs) to control solids in the exhaust stream. The solids consist of soot and sulfated ash mentioned above. When sulfur contaminates its precious metal, a DOC can't convert the soot to carbon dioxide. Soot and sulfated ash clog the pores and fill the passageways in the ceramic DPF. DOC contamination is the primary reason ULSD, or S15 diesel, has been mandated.
Because sulfur levels are lower, CJ-4 oil needs less alkalinity, expressed as total base number (TBN), than oils used with 500 ppm diesel, S500. CJ-4 oils use "Low SAPS" technology, meaning low sulfated ash, low phosphorous and, low sulfur. That's the oil, not the fuel.
Producers' fleets
But there's another factor that clouds the stocking decision. Mixers, dump trucks, and diesel pickups are all on-highway vehicles, but many concrete producers also operate a variety of off-highway and stationary diesels. Non-highway engines are now allowed a diesel fuel that contains up to 5000 ppm sulfur. Sulfur levels for non-road equipment will drop to 500 ppm in June 2007, but will not be required to meet S15 standards until June 2010.

Ann Demeulemeester Fall 2013
DNA is an acronym tossed around a lot in this business. Usually it's a fashion-speak crutch for designers who don't have anything more clever to say. "Oh, I don't know why I did such and such this season; it's just the DNA of the brand." Well, this go-round, it's a bit more of a meaningful response. Because in a way, that's what fall 2013 is all about: designers tapping into their own nature. What makes them them—and then creating clothes that communicate that.
But this is what Ann Demeulemeester has been doing all along. For the last 28 years, the Belgian designer has independently forged her own dark, draped, wild, and androgynous path. So when she says, "I wanted to make great pieces and some of them are really fluid with a lot of movement and some of them are really nicely constructed. I just wanted to go to the essence of the Ann Demeulemeester DNA," that's as precise a description as there is. Her fall collection was fluid, and it was constructed, and it was wholly her. As always, Demeulemeester expertly blended the dualities, often in the same look. For instance, this season there was a structured, Victorian vest over a gauzy but tailored coat over a flowing silk shirtdress that was then maybe over pants. (It was hard to tell. Demeulemeester's looks can have more layers than a mille-feuille.) And naturally it was topped off with an offbeat styling trick—this season, a wide-brimmed bowler with long, feather-tipped silver hatpins swaying back and forth.
If there wasn't a snug, well-cut coat over a look, then a frothy, sheer, and voluminous dressing gown was often thrown on top. And then perhaps a long, furry neckpiece was added as well. There were elements of the nineties in the dropped-waist dresses that wafted as the models walked, and a soft but strong elegance in the black-and-white ombré high-necked blouses.
Of course, you have to be Patti Smith–level cool (which is to say, very, very cool) to wear much of this collection exactly as it came down the runway—not that that's Demeulemeester's point anyway. But broken down piece by piece, the fantastic menswear-style pants and jackets will work for nearly everyone. It's as if by being true to herself, Demeulemeester has created something truly universal.

well actually many of us keeps on saying that content is the king. but a content can't be that much interesting if there's no spices included in the whole article. however, we can capture the attention of the readers if we create interesting title that will help to trigger the reader to read your whole content. just like what i did in this post. i do some contrast in the title to make you to checkout the whole entry of this post.
so in order to make people be interested in your published article, you need to think of very catchy title.
do you agree with what i am suggesting?
Certainly! But this idea is not new.
yeah i know, i just want to share my thoughts about content. maybe some of the freshman might appreciate this.
Completely agree :agree:
You can write the best article ever that it will be useless if nobody reads it... and good, descriptive (and, yes, catchy) title will help to get those readers coming your way.
I do insist on the "descriptive" side. You have to be careful. A title sets up certain expectations about the what's in the article and if people don't get what they expect you may find that readers may come... and leave as fast as lightning bolt
I don't know if I'd say title is the Queen. Maybe the title is the Joker. I'd probably say...
Content is KingPromotion/SEO is QueenJack is ...?Joker is the Title
What would you put as the Jack in this case?
Sorry but anyone who puts SEO before the real content (title or not) that attracts visitors, is doing it wrong.
In what context is this being said?
I often find myself split on this as "catchiness" is not always good for SEO. A straight forward title may sometimes be dull, but it can reinforce the context of the content. On the other hand some clever pun might be cool, but could confuse SEs. Now, dont 'read'' me wrong here. Am a human , and if the content isnt both interesting and engrossing am bolting. However, most interesting things are on the web are found using search engines. It's a trade off.
so to juxtapose everything, an optimized, catchy title is the queen, and a keyword-rich, valuable and well-written content is the king.
How about if Content is King the Design is Queen? and Link is Ace?
Read more here:http://chrislema.com/if-content-is-king-then-design-is-queen/
A catchy title would be really nice. What I notice though is that writers would try to push it. They have this awesome catchy title yet it doesn't live up to what the article is all about. I just hope writers won't exaggerate just so people would click on their blog posts.
As with everything, there's a happy medium that needs to be found ... yes, the title needs to be something interesting and attention-grabbing, but it also needs to adequately describe the page contents. This thread is a good example – "Content is the king, title is the queen" sounds far more interesting than "Why title tags are important (but not quite as important as content)", but is also a good and accurate description of the discussion here. Sure there will always be people who over-promise and under-deliver, who go for outlandish titles that bear little relation to the dull and dreary content that follows, but these sites will quickly be seen for what they are ... and if they give people no reason to link to them then they won't be anywhere near the top of the SERPs, so it really doesn't matter what their <title> is.
I thought that when we spoke about titles we were not talking about elements. I don't considere the <title> element to be the queen at all.
@9dotstrategies; I don't consider design to be the queen although at least I can understand why some would. I would say that it takes a third place. For me content is always first and I consider the title to be part of the content
Well, If you take a look again, I did put Content as King and as someone did say, title is really part of the content. But I would still consider promotion/SEO more important in driving traffic than the titles you choose. This may just be because the title doesn't have the power to determine ongoing traffic but it can convince small percentages of people to read your page who otherwise may not. It's a factor for sure, but not a huge factor in my mind. It's easy to balance using keywords and still keeping it interesting as others have said.
Domain = Ace, title = king, h1 = queen, content = jack, links = 10, site usability/appeal = 9
SEO = Joker ...
Yes,content is always king.On site content influences user experience – bounce rate, time on site, conversion and also increases trust in your website and your company as a whole.
Well,I totally agree that Title plays a key role to open the door
The very strange thing about Google's indexing is that pages with irrelevant (and little) content, but with the keyword in title, description and h1 tag is index high up. I've never understood this...
As smart as the Google bot is, it is still doing some things wrong. That is one reason your quality is so very important, including the page description of your content, which is what Google will show to searchers if you have it. If you don't have a decent (or any) description, you are leaving your fate in the bot's hands (and it probably doesn't have hands!).

Trent Reznor: Grammys were an 'utter waste of time'
Listen to Nine Inch Nails on iHeartRadio
Trent Reznor's opinion of the Grammys hasn't changed much in the weeks since this year's ceremony.
The Nine Inch Nails frontman directed a "heartfelt" four-letter word to Grammy producers after his show-closing performance was cut short, and now he tells New Zealand's 3 News that the event was "an utter waste of time."
The award show performance was a collaboration between Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, Dave Grohl, and Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham.
Reznor says he and Queens frontman Josh Homme spent a lot of time weighing the pros and cons of taking the Grammy stage, and ultimately decided they wanted to try to reach a large audience and do something on their terms. But instead, Reznor says he felt disrespected by the producers and embarrassed that he invited Buckingham into that kind of situation.
Reznor adds that he doesn't regret agreeing to the Grammy performance because now he knows he will "absolutely not" consider patronizing the event "in any form" ever again.
However, Nine Inch Nails will be playing a few shows in Japan next week before they head to Australia for a joint tour with Queens of the Stone Age in March.

2012-2013 Girl Scout Cookie Program
By Barbara Murphy-Warrington, CEO, Girl Scouts of Greater New York
Dear Girl Scout Family,
During this holiday season, we'd like to express our gratitude to you and your troop for all your efforts that made the 2011-2012 Cookie Program a great success. Last year we sold 1,226,006 boxes - a 13% increase over the previous year. Because of your hard work, these funds have empowered us to expand programs, make improvements at Camp Kaufmann, and eliminate old operational challenges.
This year, we are learning that, even in the face of adversity, staying focused on our mission allows us to respond to rapidly-emerging needs in our community. Many Girl Scout troops have shared details about the initiatives and volunteer projects they participate in, helping those communities hardest-hit by Sandy. I cannot thank you enough for embodying who we are as Girl Scouts and what we do when our communities need our help.
During our Fall 2012 Corporate Cookie Connection (CCC), Girl Scouts sold 14,008 boxes of cookies - despite the fact that we had almost half as many sales locations as a result of Sandy. As always, these cookie sales proceeds are used to fund local Girl Scouting here in our City - a worthy goal in and of itself. But this year, we also were able to support Sandy relief efforts through our Operation Cookie drive by designating 1,873 boxes of cookies for people heavily impacted by the storm. The idea to change the Operation Cookie program for the Fall CCC event, which usually provides cookies to service personnel and others, originated with Staten Island Troop 5327 and its Leader, Toni Morrissette. We are grateful to Toni and her troop for this wonderful idea. Also, our customers gave $2,348.93 in unsolicited contributions (by saying "keep the change" or "keep the cookies but take this change"), and our Girl Scouts communicated to our customers we would give those contributions to The Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City to help Sandy relief efforts. Thanks to the girls' efforts, we have already received press coverage on ABC News, NBC News, and the Wall Street Journal.
We now have the opportunity to come together once again and rally to sell cookies to support the great work we do. The Initial Cookie Sale, beginning on December 14th, is a fantastic opportunity to fund our wonderful programs. We believe the holiday season, and the strong support New Yorkers are exhibiting for our organization, will provide very positive energy for our Girl Scouts and the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Our customers are eager to support our efforts through the purchase of Girl Scout Cookies.
Above all else, the Girl Scout Cookie Program is our opportunity to teach girls the lessons they will use to become tomorrow's leaders: lessons about flexibility, adaptability, recovering as quickly as you can, ethically responding to the needs of customers, and giving back when people are hurting. We have the chance to show our Girl Scouts and our community what we can do through our collective endeavors.
Our goal of 1,300,000 boxes is obtainable, not aspirational. This year you have been gifted with a unique opportunity to build a sense of community with our cookies; not just within our Girl Scout family, but throughout the New York City area. Your role in this success cannot be overstated. With every box, your troop can look further into the future with us and do more for our mission than we ever thought possible.
Yours in Girl Scouting,
Barbara Murphy-Warrington
CEO, Girl Scouts of Greater New York

Hi, I'm trying to create a horizontal menu where I can have a transparent gradient go over the top of the background color. I had this great idea to make a css menu, set the background color for <li> items to whatever I want (I would use a color picker & php/mysql to echo out the background color) then have a 30% transparent gradient sit on top of it. So if the background colours were set to white, black, dark red, light blue or khaki, they would look as below.Hmm I can't post images?
Anyway I made an image in photoshop with a transparent background, then added a layer & filled it with a gradient & set opacity to 30%, but alas when I tried to save it, photoshop fliled the background with white, even if I saved as gif or png. Thus the background color can't be seen.
Is there any way to achieve what I am trying to do with photoshop or perhaps css?
You can read up on CSS3 gradients here.
Be warned that this isn't supported in a good chunk of the market (IE8 down and older versions of main browsers)
Your best bet would be to use an image, which would require you asking in the graphic section of this forum (does this forum even have a photoshop section? I really should go explore different parts of this forum)
Graphics forum I guess..
Thanks for the reply
Hi, I'm trying to create a horizontal website menu where I can have a partially transparent gradient image go over the top of the background color. I had this great idea to make a css menu, set the background color for <li> items to whatever I want (I would use a color picker & php/mysql to echo out the background color) then have a partially transparent gradient sit on top of it so that there would be a subtle gradient over whatever color I used for my background.
I made an image in photoshop with a transparent background, then added a layer & filled it with a gradient & set opacity to 30%, but alas when I tried to save it, photoshop fliled the background with white, even if I saved as gif or png. Thus the background color can't be seen.
Is there any way to achieve what I am trying to do with photoshop?
You should be able to save a partially transparent image. Make sure to check the transparency option when saving for the web, and choose png-24 if necessary.
Aha, png24!! Thanks This has just opened up so many possibilities for dynamic styling for me!
Yep, it's pretty handy. PNG-24 doesn't work so well on IE6, but I've completely forgotten about that browser now! What a relief.
Haha well, if anyone is viewing a site on IE6 they deserve to see whatever mess they are presented with
Too bad clients don't think that way.
Too bad the hundreds of thousands of users who don't have a better choice available to them don't think that way. I hate IE6 with a festering hatred, but I realize that a bunch of people are stuck with using it for the near future.
I don't understand why anyone would be stuck with it when an ever increasing array of modern browsers are freely available to download & install in a matter of minutes. I'm guessing there must some reason why some people are not able to download a new browser?
Corporate IT Policy (network user restrictions) is typically the number one reason many people aren't allowed to install/upgrade to the latest browsers, etc. We'll ignore OS limitations and hardware for sake of simplicity.
Some people are afraid of complicated computer things...even though some browsers are incredibly simple to download and install (like Chrome, my favorite), they don't do it. Also, a lot of people don't know about browsers or they don't know the benefits. While you or I may know that (in my opinion), Chrome is the best (best HTML5 support, best CSS3 support, to my knowledge, constantly updating, fastest, simplest, etc), an average user just wants to browse the web...which IE lets them do.
Ah ok. Surely Microsoft could easily solve this problem before they break for lunch with a windows update that simply forced people with IE6 to upgrade to IE7 or higher depending on their OS version?Firefox routinely updates itself. It doesn't even require you to even download or install anything, the simple act of opening the browser runs the update. Surely it would be kids play for Mr Gates & his merry men to do this with users of IE6?
They certainly try to get people to upgrade their browser...
I know that during the isolated times that I use Internet Explorer 8, I get a pop-up begging me to upgrade to IE9...
They can't force anyone to upgrade or install anything.
Chrome does the same thing as Firefox.
Also, Windows updates are usually unnoticeable. Maybe they are security fixes, bug fixes, etc. Something as noticeable as a new browser would certainly attract more attention than that and people would freak.
Sorry to jump in on this tread with such a doofus approach, but I'm not as knowledgeable as y'all, so I'm unsure of the correct terminology to use, so bear with me. I hope my question is comparable to the discussion on this thread.
Can you tell me what software is needed to create that see-through strip below the lady's face that reads "TRANSCRIPTION SPECIALISTS"? I want to be able to place that see-through strip, with text, over photos, either straight across or diagonally. But as for what type of software I can use, I'm clueless. I'm sure that one of the Adobe products will do the trick, but I don't know which one. I've Googled till I'm blue in the face. I've also viewed a variety of YouTube Adobe instructional videos, and still can't narrow down which piece of software it does that.
If the below picture is too small for you to see, you can view the page at StanleyLegalReporting.com.
What you are asking can easily be done in photoshop by simply placing a white rectangle shape over the photograph and decreacing its opacity.
If you don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on Photoshop, you can download Gimp for free http://www.gimp.org It will easily do the task you are asking.
Ah-hah! Very good, then.
Now, can I bother you to ask what the difference is in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign? If you know, that is.
I guess they are like the difference between Windows, Linux & Mac OSX. They're all graphics softwares, they have many common tools and layouts and they also have some varying tools & layouts.
If you are just starting out, I would recommend giving Gimp a try first. It will do more than a good enough job until you become experienced in working with graphics.
So all of them pretty much offer the same features?

Tax Facts Index
Department of Finance
Vol. 8, No.1
January 1997
Motor Vehicles purchased for lease and automobiles purchased for rental
In 1996 the Louisiana Legislature passed two Bills that will have a
major impact on local sales and use tax. Act 12 (Senate Bill 48) excludes from sales and
use tax motor vehicles purchased for lease purposes and Act 7 (House Bill 97) excludes
from sales and use tax automobiles purchased for rental purposes. Act 7 also provides for
a tax of one-half (1/2%) percent on the rental of automobiles for the benefit of local
taxing authorities which will offset a large part of the revenue loss from this
legislation. These Acts exclude from sales and use tax the initial purchase of motor
vehicles used for lease and automobiles used for rental.
Although these two Acts seem to be very similar, they are very
different. Act 12 excludes only motor vehicles purchased for lease purposes. The term
"Motor Vehicle" means every vehicle which is self-propelled and subject to the
vehicle registration license tax of the State of Louisiana. This includes automobiles,
motorcycles, trucks, truck-tractors and motor buses. It does not apply to any motor
vehicle that is not subject to the vehicle registration license tax such as cranes,
dozers, backhoes and other construction equipment. This Act only applies to leased motor
vehicles. The term "Lease" means the leasing of motor vehicles and the
possession or use by the lessee, for a consideration, without the transfer of title for a
period of one hundred eighty (180) days or more. The effective date of Act 12 is July 1,
Act 7 excludes only automobiles purchased for rental purposes. The term
"Automobile" means a vehicle designated to carry less than nine passengers. This
Act only applies to rented automobiles and "Rental" means the renting of
automobiles and the possession or use thereof by the renter, for a consideration, without
the transfer of title for a period less than one hundred eighty (180) days. The effective
date of this Act is July 1, 1996.
These new Acts exclude the sales and use tax on the acquisition of
motor vehicles for lease and automobiles for rental, however, the local sales tax on the
gross receipts from the lease or rental continues to be imposed.
1997 Occupational License renewals
Businesses are reminded that their 1997 Occupational License renewals
were placed in the mail in December. Any unpaid licenses after February 28, 1997, will be
deemed delinquent and subject to penalty and interest. Penalty at the rate of 5% per
month, or fractional part thereof, not to exceed 25% and interest at the rate of 1.25% per
month, or fractional part thereof, will be computed from the first day of March and will
increase on the first day of each succeeding month. Please file renewals timely.
Sales tax due dates
Following are the sales tax due dates for the first quarter of 1997:
For the
Tax Due
Month of
February 1
February 21
March 1
March 21
April 1
April 22
Returns bearing a U.S. postmark on or after the above delinquent dates
will be assessed penalty, interest and loss of vendor's compensation. Remember to mail
your return early.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) _ Three former aides have accused New York state Assemblyman Dennis Gabryszak of sexual harassment.
The women make their case against the Buffalo-area lawmaker in a notice of claim, the first step toward a lawsuit. The notice, first reported by the Times-Union of Albany Friday names Gabryszak, the state Assembly and state of New York.
Gabryszak's former communications director, Kimberly Snickles, and two other aides say they reported inappropriate behavior to their supervisor, but he failed to take any action. All eventually quit.
A phone message left at Gabryszak's Albany office wasn't initially returned Friday.
The notice says at least two other former employees plan to come forward with similar allegations in the near future.

Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity Get Warp Speed Extension
Jason Mick
October 12, 2012 2:07 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
New theory describes faster than light travel, could explain CERN's results
Some of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century, including Albert Einstein, consider the speed of light a sort of universal "speed limit". But over the past couple decades physicists theorized that it should be possible to break this law and get away with it -- to
travel faster than the speed of light
I. CERN Results Potentially Described
One of several possible routes to faster-than-light travel was
potentially demonstrated
when researchers at
, the European physics organization known for
maintaining the Large Hadron Collider
, sent high-energy particles through the Earth's crust from Geneva, Switzerland to
INFN Gran Sasso Laboratory
in Italy. In a result that is today highly controversial, the team claimed that the particles were observed travelling in excess of the speed of light.
Now physics theory may finally be catching up. Math researchers at the
University of Adelaide
-- located in the middle South of Australia -- have developed new formulas to describe the relationship between energy, mass, and velocity (which incorporates length and time) for objects traveling faster than the speed of light. The formulas modify
Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity
, a fundamental pillar of our understanding of the universe.

Math professor
Jim Hill
, a co-author of the paper writes, "Questions have since been raised over the experimental results [from CERN] but we were already well on our way to successfully formulating a theory of special relativity, applicable to relative velocities in excess of the speed of light."
He elaborates, "Our approach is a natural and logical extension of the Einstein Theory of Special Relativity, and produces anticipated formulae without the need for imaginary numbers or complicated physics."
The study's other co-author,
Dr. Barry Cox
, adds, "We are mathematicians, not physicists, so we've approached this problem from a theoretical mathematical perspective... Our paper doesn't try and explain how this could be achieved, just how equations of motion might operate in such regimes."
II. Placating the Critics
The authors obviously recognize the controversy surrounding both experimental and theoretical work regarding challenging the light speed limitation attached to the special theory of relativity. Write the authors in the abstract, "In this highly controversial topic, our particular purpose is not to enter into the merits of existing theories, but rather to present a succinct and carefully reasoned account of a new aspect of Einstein's theory of special relativity, which properly allows for faster than light motion."
Many believe faster-than-light travel may be possible. [Image Source: LucasFilm, Ltd.]
The paper proposes two sets of equations -- one based on an invariant set of "frame transitions", the other based on a "frame transition" with the invariance limitation removed. The authors suspect that if faster than light travel is possible, that the physical behavior of the faster-than-light travelling object is described by one of these equations.
Note, such work is relatively independent from forms of faster-than-light travel that do not violate Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity, such as
warping space via a massive energy source
The paper was
[abstract] in the prestigious peer-reviews journal
The Proceedings of the Royal Society A
"Death Is Very Likely The Single Best Invention Of Life" -- Steve Jobs

No not Dan, Benson wants to fight GSP after he's fought Melendez.
No not Dan, Benson wants to fight GSP after he's fought Melendez.
Benson could be his toughest test to date providing he gets past Diaz.
What is with these guys moving up a division and getting title shots????? If henderson wants to move to 170 thats great but have him take couple of fights first before a title fight. Have him fight condit or hendricks or diaz etc to prove he deserves a title shot. It would also let him get a feel of how he would get on at that weight. Everytime I hear about champions from other divisions stepping up and going straight into title shots makes me feel guys like hendricks etc must be raging at getting passed over for a guy who has never proved himself at the weight.
Fair point tomtie. If they want a superfight, maybe need to hand out stepping aside money. Still 100 nutsack points to Henderson
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
To be fair though the UFC is a business & Benson stepping up in weight as a champion (if he gets past Gilbert) to challenge GSP in a Champion vs. Champion fight would be a far bigger fight than GSP vs. any other Welter right now.
Just like how Aldo has been promised a LW title shot if he gets by Pettis, although bendo looking to move up might screw those plans up.
Yeah it sucks for Welters who are fighting for their title shot but no different to Chuck being pushed aside so Zuffa could make Tito vs. Ken Shamrock & countless fights since then.
GSP smashes Henderson by wrestle fuck all day long, regardless of what you argue.
Dana has already poured cold water on this.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
And rightly so. Henderson has only defended the belt once and that was a debateable decision. Personally would much prefer him to fight Pettis next rather than Pettis moving down

Debbie Aglietti - This no-wait ER is no joke
When Debbie Aglietti found herself suffering with an intense headache that kept getting worse, she knew she needed help. And she knew just where to go: The no-wait ER at NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital. Debbie arrived at the ER on a Saturday afternoon, which can be a tough day to get fast help in most emergency rooms. Not at Hudson Valley.
"This no-wait ER is no joke. It's true to its name in every sense. I didn't even sit down in the waiting room. I went to the window and was immediately taken in the back." Debbie Aglietti – ER patient – viral meningitis. Read more about Debbie's experience at the hospital.
Neal Castaldo - Radiation Oncology Patient at the Cheryl R. Lindenbaum Cancer Center
When Neal Castaldo was turning 63, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He was scared and confused. But from the day he entered the new Cheryl R. Lindenbaum Cancer Center his fears were soothed. He was comforted, assured, smiled at. Neal, a teacher for more than 30 years, says those are things you take with you. "I believe patientology is something everyone who treated me at NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital has a PhD in. They treat you as if you're a relative, or a friend. They care about their patients to an extraordinary level." Read more about Neal's amazing story.
April and Brandon Thompson - A special birth of twins
April Thompson had her twins at NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital and was able to achieve the natural childbirth she wanted despite the fact that one of the babies had turned breech. Her 8-year-old daughter, Taylor was also able to participate in the delivery thanks to a special sibling class at the hospital.
"At NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital I was able to deliver my twins naturally, which can be tricky with twins,'' said April. "They also allow siblings in the delivery room which is something my 8 year old daughter wanted very much. They listened to how I wanted to do things and respected my wishes- that's patientology." Read more about April's story.
Ronna Lichtenberg - Hip and Knee Replacement
When Ronna Lichtenberg, a successful communications executive who lives and works in Manhattan, found her hip and knee pain unbearable, she began investigating joint replacement options. What she discovered was surprising.
"I live and work in Manhattan and interviewed some of the best hospitals for my knee and hip surgeries. But I found the doctor and the team that got me back on my feet at NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital. This is where I loved getting better. Read more about Ronna's surprising story.
Kimberly Gerosa - Compassionate Breast Cancer Care
When Kimberly Gerosa was first diagnosed with breast cancer back in December of 2011, she went to another oncologist, but didn't feel comfortable. A friend suggested that she get a second opinion and visit the Ashikari Breast Center at NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital's Cortlandt Manor campus. She immediately connected with Dr. Pond Kelemen, who has seen her through a cancer journey that began with a lumpectomy and ended with a bi-latteral mastectomy. Read more about Kimberly's story.

"We're kind of thinking of it as a tech 'surge,'" an insider tells Politico. The team is rolling out "new code that includes bug fixes," "aggressively" monitoring the site's issues, and "deploying fixes to the site during off-peak hours on a regular basis."
