Hey! This is my first post here and I thought this would be the best place to get some opinions about my dilemma. I'm getting into the headphones realm and the more I read, the more I want. I have to say that I´ve tried several Sony headphones and earphones and some Bose as well, but after reading a lot of material about audiophillia I think that's my call. I'm really picky about the sound quality and through the years I've tried to achieve the best possible listening experience... At first I was a basshead, but after some time I guess I grew up and figured out that I wanted to get the best out of the music even if the bass wasn't the main thing to focuse in, although I'd still appreciate a nice bass response. That being said, after reading a lot I decided to take a leap and go with any of the following options: the Audio Technica ATH M50 or the Beyerdynamic DT990 Premium 32Ohms.
First, I'm not planning to buy any headphone amp by now so I need a pair that can be powered through my mp3 device, that's why I chose the 32ohms version of the DT990.
Money it's not a big issue, since I've found the Beyers to be around $100 more expensive than the Audio Technica and I don't really care of giving a little more cash if the DT990 deserves it.
So, I'm looking for a headphones that really delivers the BEST audio quality from these 2. As I mencioned before, I do like bass but I don't want it to make the mids and treble to sound dim or "dark" in any way. I'm really curious about soundstage since I've never owned a pair of open cans and I'm looking forward to that experience. I like my music to have a "warm" feeling to it, but also really clear and all in all, enjoyable. I'd also love to have a big detail in the music, hear everything in a track and being able to distinguish the little (and big) details and instruments. I listen to a lot of genres from jazz to electronica and rock (lots of it) :)
I'll be using my headphones in a private space so sound leakage is not a big deal.
After some time I've really narrowed my options to these two and I would really appreciate a lot some feedback and advice :)
Thank you guys again and sorry for my English :)

Webhelp selected by Unilever to deliver European customer contact services
FALKIRK, July 13, 2016 - Global customer experience and business process outsourcer, Webhelp, has been selected by international consumer goods...
The UK's leading independent energy supplier, First Utility prides itself on supplying gas and electricity at low prices to all of its valued customers.
Finding and resolving the barriers that prevent advisors on the First Utility campaign achieving a great quality score.
Webhelp's Discovery process
The First Utility campaign was experiencing low quality scores. Webhelp utilised the Discovery process in order to determine what the barriers to success were, and then identify solutions to the problem.
Webhelp's Discovery process is an integral methodology in our commitment to continuous improvement. Discovery allows Webhelp advisors to use their direct customer interaction experiences to provide feedback on existing processes and collaborate with operations managers to identify better ways to work.
As a result of the Discovery process, numerous barriers to success were identified. These were:
In the Discovery sessions, advisors and Discovery experts identified a number of potential solutions:
Discovery uses a scientific, "test and learn" approach to finding problems and solutions. At Webhelp, we believe that the advisors are the ones best able to tell us about the changes needed on the "front line" of customer service. In the Discovery Lab, we come up with ways of solving problems and then test them out in a live, but controlled, contact centre environment. These changes, if successful, are then rolled out across the business as a whole and feedback and suggestions are passed on to our clients.
The Discovery team recommended several actions to the rest of Webhelp that would allow immediate improvement on the contact centre level. These recommendations were:
Webhelp made recommendations to First Utility that would enable quality improvement across the business. We advised that they improve the Knowledge system search bar to make it more user-friendly when advisors are searching for specifics. In addition, Webhelp has advised First Utility to host a physical Discovery debriefing session with its stakeholders, in order to ascertain the best solutions to take forward to implementation.
FALKIRK, July 13, 2016 - Global customer experience and business process outsourcer, Webhelp, has been selected by international consumer goods...
Webhelp, the global business process management and outsourcing solutions group, announced today...

It began before it began.
This was in 1905 when the great black scholar W.E.B. DuBois called a meeting of prominent black men. They met on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls because hotels in their own country would not accommodate them and formed what became known as the Niagara Movement.
The Movement, which held a subsequent meeting at Harper's Ferry, W. Va., issued a statement that said in part, "We claim for ourselves every single right that belongs to a freeborn American, political, civil and social; and until we get these rights we will never cease to protest and assail the ears of America." But the movement, hampered by various difficulties, soon sputtered and became inactive.
Then the riot came.
For six days in August 1908, a mob of white people surged through the streets of Springfield, Ill., lynching and maiming black people at will and at whim. The irony of this happening in the hometown of Abraham Lincoln, earnestly if somewhat simplistically revered as the Great Emancipator, was lost on no one, the rioters least of all. "Lincoln freed you, we'll show you your place," they cried as they flogged black people through the streets.
The appalling spectacle energized white liberals like Mary White Ovington and Oswald Garrison Villard. On Lincoln's 100th birthday, Feb. 12, 1909, they joined with DuBois and other remnants of the Niagara Movement to issue a call for a conference on race.
That call – a century ago Thursday – was the birth certificate of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
The milestone simultaneously demands and defies commemoration.
It is, after all, hard to hug an institution. And if it's true that history is biography, it's not hard to understand why the NAACP has often seemed overshadowed by larger-than-life personalities like Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King Jr., Jesse Jackson. Even its most celebrated members – DuBois, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Thurgood Marshall, Medgar Evers, Rosa Parks – are better known for what they did than for the organization to which they belonged.
Who regards the NAACP with the reverence those men and women inspire? DuBois notwithstanding, there is in the NAACP story no central charismatic figure. Instead, there is The Work. There is fighting voter suppression and protesting lynch law and writing legal briefs. There is issuing press releases and filing complaints and lobbying lawmakers. There is awarding scholarships and publishing reports and sponsoring workshops and holding accountable. There is advancement made in increments.
Until one day you look up and see that because of those increments, the world has changed as if in a bolt of lightning. The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision is the most obvious illustration, but really, the proof is the whole country since 1909. It is Sidney Poitier and Condoleezza Rice and Guion Bluford and Barack Obama. And me. Maybe even you.
For all that, one often senses in African America a certain ambivalence toward the NAACP. Too middle class, says one school of criticism. Not relevant, says another. Still others are offput by scandals of leadership over the last 15 years or so. And for some, perhaps the organization's greatest sin is simply this: It is not exciting.
Organizations seldom are.
But they do The Work, don't they? The Work that is bigger than one person and longer than one life. Because the NAACP has done The Work, we can pause upon a milestone in a world transformed, a world in which Obama is president and Oprah is queen. If the difference looks like a lightning bolt, we know better.
And we celebrate the increments by which we advance.

I am not using my Ooma much lately, but in the small number of times I've tried to make calls, I often have problems.
The first problem is I'll be talking to my friend (that I dialed) and the call drops. Sometimes with a slight static right before it drops, and sometimes it just drops when he is in the middle of a sentence. I usually wait at least 10 seconds to see if it will come back, but then I hang up, so it's not really a total drop, but I can't hear them. I believe usually they can't hear me.
About 1-4 months ago I was with a different ISP and would have something similar happen, it wouldn't drop but the call would go staticy or quiet but after some seconds, the call would continue like normal, but with me missing a few words or few sentences the other person said. Today when it dropped on my end, my friend didn't know for quite a while, I think his cellphone connection was still going and using up his minutes.
Another problem is when it drops, I try to redial them back. Well, usually I get a dialtone just fine and it dials and then just silence, no ringing. One time I tried like 6 times in the next 4 minutes, then gave up and used my other phone. Plus, it's not only after a call drops. Yesterday I believe I hadn't used my phone all day. Then I wanted to make a quick 2 minute call. Well it would not go through in 3 tries. Gave up and used another phone.
I was reading other threads and I think I should do *98 before placing a call, and see if things improve. But I think that just changes the codec, I probably have other issues here. I also already setup Ooma to use the built-in mac address and I have my router configured for QoS.

Three Web sites belonging to the U.S. Department of the Treasury have been hacked to attack visitors with malicious software, security vendor AVG says.
AVG researcher Roger Thompson discovered the issue Monday on three Web domains associated with the home page of the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing. As of late Monday, all three Web sites were still actively serving malicious software and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Web site should be avoided until it's clear that they've been cleaned up, Thompson said in an interview via instant message.
Although the Treasury Department could not be reached for comment, IT staff there appear to be aware of the problem. On Tuesday morning, all three sites had apparently been taken offline and were returning a "page not found" error.
According to Thompson, hackers had added a small snippet of virtually undetectable iframe HTML code that redirected visitors to a Web site in Ukraine that then launched a variety of Web-based attacks based on a commercially available attack-kit called the Eleonore Exploit pack.
The Ukrainian Web site was associated with similar attacks in the past. Those attacks targeted a handful of known software bugs, including flaws in Adobe's Reader software.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing provides information on U.S. currency -- how to identify counterfeit bills for example -- and just two weeks ago had used its Web site to promote the newly redesigned US$100 bill.
It's not clear how hackers managed to install their malicious code on the Treasury Department's Web sites.

The only way this could be worse is if people made fun of me on the Internet.
I think it's worth mentioning nodebots here, since (in my experience) the coincidence of web (thus JavaScript) developers and Mac users approaches 100%. Being able to control hardware using a familiar language is quite compelling. Moreover, since node.js provides it's own web server and an easy way to deploy web apps, hardware/webapp mashups naturally follow (e.g. streaming web video from your mobile robot).

text: Robin van Persie was accused of elbowing Yohan Cabaye as Manchester United climbed to second place in the Premier League after a bad-tempered 3-0 victory at Newcastle. The Football Association will await referee Howard Webb's report before deciding whether to take any action following the alleged incident, which occurred late on in a comfortable win for Sir Alex Ferguson's side on Sunday. Newcastle manager Alan Pardew urged the FA to scrutinise the actions of Manchester United forward van Persie, who has history with the Tyneside club following an angry confrontation with goalkeeper Tim Krul last season when he was playing for Arsenal. The sanction for violent conduct, should it be proved in this case, is normally a three-game ban. Should Webb reveal he saw the coming together with France international Cabaye and decided to take no action, that is likely to be the end of the matter.

In a stab at paying tribute to all the winners of the coveted Lion awards at the 2006 Cannes International Advertising Festival -- considered the most prestigious of many annual advertising competitions -- Draft FCB placed a display ad in the November issue of Creativity magazine that is an astoundingly large and graphic image of two real lions in the act of having sex surrounded by a huge amount of white space....Isn't that what you always say about your viral ads?
At best the Draft FCB tribute ad -- with its overt visual and verbal sexual bent -- represents an inexplicable lapse in good taste. At worst, it's a downright vulgar and hugely inappropriate means of applauding winners of awards intended to honor the world's most creative advertising....
A Draft FCB spokesman admitted the ad was "a terrible mistake," and further claimed the work was "submitted without proper approval."

Oh The HUmanity!
What a hoot! The irony of criticizing an ad agency poking fun at the poster child of coarse behavior, the entertainment industry, is rich!
Parody stings when it hits too close to the truth! I thought the ad was funny! Reminds me of Mel Brooks' famous line "It's good to be King!"

"...represents an inexplicable lapse in good taste."
I cannot say, as an eager Christianist, finding advertising lapsing in good taste as "inexplicable."
Although some will be offended, undoubtedly, by the hetero-normative implications of the ad, albeit with lion proxies rather than real, live humans. - 11/29/06, 8:27 AM

It just reminded me of a trip to the Bronx Zoo when my daughters were very young. Two chimps started going at it and my kids were laughing - they said look, the monkeys are playing horsey!

Based on the reaction of the ad-type commenters to this "it's good to be on top (etc.)" ad, I don't know that this really "sums up the aesthetic of the ad business" generally.
The attitude, maybe, but I'm not so sure about the aesthetic. - 11/29/06, 9:05 AM

Leos tend to be bombastic and arrogant.
That's the trouble with 'em.
They aren't sensitive and all-knowing like we Pisces.

We'll show you how to get your accounts configured, how to set up payees and enter payment details, how to integrate payments with scheduled transactions, and how to review or cancel payments in progress. In Banktivity, it's all fast and simple.
Direct Access is an optional subscription service that offers a more advanced method of keeping your financial records current, automatically updating transactions from over 10,000 banks worldwide. A 30-day trial lets you see how it makes tracking your finances more convenient, especially if any of your banks don't support direct download via OFX. We'll show you to how to sign up for a Banktivity ID and how to set up your accounts with Direct Access, which you can use with Banktivity 5 and Banktivity for iPad.
Using the power of categories, Banktivity 5's all-new budget section makes it easy to visualize your daily finances, to monitor your spending and to plan savings. Easily integrate scheduled income and bills, track progress as you move through each month, and make changes to future budget periods while being able to review past budgets accurately. Here's how.
Envelope budgeting provides an intuitive, easy-to-visualize method to monitor your regular spending and build savings. Set expense categories, use income to fill your envelopes, apply scheduled transactions automatically, move cash as needed, adjust budgets on the fly and track your progress with ease.
Banktivity simplifies tax time! This tutorial guides you through the advantages of categorizing tax-related transactions, the use of tax codes, generating a U.S. Tax Report, the benefits of additional reports such as Category Detail, Payee Summary and Net Worth, transmitting files to a tax professional, and exporting data to tax preparation software such as TurboTax.
Creating and managing investment accounts in Banktivity take a few more steps than other account types. We'll show you how to set up your investment accounts, how to manage your investment transactions, how to fill in the gaps in an incomplete transaction history, how to account for cash balances and more.
Banktivity 5 uses a convenient set of built-in templates to generate powerful, flexible financial reports. Create reports on your accounts, income, spending, investments, net worth and more; drill down for transaction details; export data to spreadsheets; customize your categories, date ranges or other criteria; save or print your reports; and dynamically update them as you like. We'll show you how.
Scheduled transactions allow you to have clear picture of upcoming income and expenses. Here we'll show you multiple ways to create, modify and apply your scheduled transactions, as well as how they can be a powerful part of your budgets. You'll also learn how to process upcoming transactions or how to delete them from your schedules.
Note that the reconciling and check printing tutorials for iBank 4 are still relevant for Banktivity 5.

The times — they sure are a-changing! If you live in the United States, you may have heard last week that the embattled Borders bookstore chain had been forced to liquidate, closing down literally miles of bookshelf space, and leaving many without jobs. It's always a sad thing whenever many people lose their jobs, but it's becoming increasingly obvious in a digital information age, that if bookstore chains intend on surviving they need to adapt to the growing and evolving ways people are obtaining their books.
We've seen this pattern already in the burgeoning online way people are obtaining their music — I'm talking the legal ways, such as iTunes and online services like the new Spotify, for just a few examples. Think of the once dominant Blockbuster Video's recent bankruptcy, and now streamlining down to only 500 stores in the US. Many a brick and mortar store specializing in electronic entertainment such as music and movies have gone the way of the dodo bird due to their inability to also corner the market online, or in some cases, bother to adapt to it and the concept of supply and demand. People are increasingly opting to go the way of doing much of their lives online.
This is where bookstores need to step up their game and adapt to the rapidly growing trend of digital readers and online obtaining of information and entertainment. I personally cannot remember the last time I purchased a music CD from a store, and then went and manually added it to my iTunes. But I can tell you I buy directly on iTunes all the time. I cannot remember the last time I went and rented a DVD, but I rent movies online all the time. And now, I'm increasingly buying hard copy books less and less because it's harder for me to obtain them in my language, but also only out of necessity if it isn't available in Kindle format yet.
As an avid reader, I thought I'd never warm up to an electronic e-reader until I actually tried one. Don't knock it till you try it! It's true, nothing compares to the feeling of reading an actual paper book. But there are a lot of things I like about my Kindle, one of them being the fact it's much easier to read without turning pages but just touching a button, and the fact you can bring many books on it, unlike in actual books, if you wanted to bring with you on a trip the eight books you may have on the go, it becomes more bulky, thus giving e-readers an advantage. I personally think I'm reading a lot more and finishing books faster since I bought a Kindle thanks to the convenience of such a small device containing so much to read.
As an overseas missionary living in Peru, I find an e-reader of the utmost necessity since it's much more difficult to obtain books in my native tongue here, therefore the internet and online bookstores, such as Amazon, help me keep up on world news and and obtaining the latest books I seek to read. Barnes and Noble for example, had already adapted to this trend and release a device to rival the Kindle, called the Nook, which has for the first time just barely beat Amazon at their game.
Barnes and Noble seemed to rightly understand that the way to grow, was to offer what customers want in the way they are now wanting it. We have seen this pattern with digital media, it's only a matter of time before it is an even more pronounced change and tipping point with books, and maybe even books only being offered in digital format due to the costs of printing not being found as profitable anymore. The liquidation of Borders is just a sign of the times, a reference point of a bygone era that may be jumping into the past faster than some of us may think.
Who knows, but you better hold on to your books. They might be a collector's item sooner than later.

There are a variety of public interest fellowships available to law students who are interested in pursuing public interest law at graduation. Typically, fellowships are one- to two-year opportunities designed to give recent law graduates experience in public interest practice.
Public interest fellowships are attractive for a number of reasons, including that they allow graduates to creatively pursue their passions and interests, while providing the training necessary to pursue permanent public interest or teaching positions and that they provide networking opportunities for developing strong professional contacts in the field. In addition, some fellowships serve as a point of entry for permanent employment. Some fellowships also provide loan repayment assistance.
Many post-graduate public interest fellowships require advance preparation, so students must begin thinking about fellowships early in their law school career. The Career Services Office has extensive information about the hundreds of fellowship opportunities available to students. Below are descriptions of the most popular and well-known fellowship programs. Please be advised, however, that this list is not exhaustive. You should check psjd.org for a more complete list of public interest post-graduate fellowships.
For more information on how to prepare and apply for these opportunities, check out PSJD.org's Postgraduate Fellowship Resource Center.
Project Based Fellowships|Organizational Fellowships|
Education & Teaching Fellowships|Government Fellowships|
Firm-Sponsored Fellowships
Project-Based and Entrepreneurial Fellowships
Project-based fellowships allow fellows to develop projects to serve unmet legal needs in a particular area of interest. Typically, applicants propose their own projects, often in conjunction with an existing organization. In some cases, applicants may apply for support to start a new organization. These fellowships are funded by a third-party organization, allowing the fellow to work -- usually on a specific project -- with a host organization. In the public interest legal world, Equal Justice Works and the Skadden Fellowship Foundation are the largest funders of project-based fellowships, and are among the most sought after fellowships as well.
PSJD.org makes the following recommendations regarding project-based fellowship applications:
The most important step you can take to prepare an application for a project-based fellowship is to consult with Emily Kite in the Career Services Office and, if possible, alumni of the fellowship programs you are interested in. Fellowship applications are as much science as they are art. As compelling as your project idea may be, it will compete with dozens or hundreds of other compelling ideas. Well-organized applications -- focused on providing the information requested -- go a long way. You should consult with individuals who have prepared and reviewed applications in the past. This outreach will pay enormous dividends in producing the strongest applications possible.
Second, ideally you will have built a strong, trusting relationship with your would-be host organization by the time you apply for fellowship funding. This does not have to be the case, but your fellowship application is stronger when you can show that you have worked closely with your host organization. If you are looking to connect with a host organization, search PSJD.org for opportunities by entering "Fellowship - Legal: Project-Based" in the Job Type field. This will connect you to organizations interested in hosting fellows.

The Presidential Management Fellows Program (PMF) is a competitive program that recruits law graduates and those from other disciplines to work in executive branch agencies. Attorney positions for PMFs are extremely rare, and students should not apply to the PMF Program if their goal is to be placed in an attorney position. Most often, law students selected as finalists for the PMF obtain appointments in positions such as policy analyst, budget analyst, tax law specialist, or other non-attorney positions.

LOTRO: A tourist guide to the Wold
10 comments :
Nice screenshots. :) Just out of curiousity, have you been able to keep your graphics at the levels you've played the rest of the game?
ReplyDeleteRepliesThank you! I nick Tiger's computer to get these sort of images, and yes, he's able to play the game with these settings. On my own poor Mac, however, I need to resort to medium or lower with mounted combat, otherwise it gets too laggy. Still I often see the brushes appear beneath my very hooves if I go very fast!
I especially love the shot with the grey dappled horse - looks almost real! I've been having huge problems with mounted lag too and have been playing on medium too :( I've recently turned back up as it doesn't actually seem to have any effect on the MC lag itself for me... I think anyway... Hopefully they will have a fix for it soon :)
ReplyDeleteNice Rav! You are such a great photographer.
Love love the one with the horse wading into the stream toward you. He has a look in his eye like "friend, or foe?" I can just imagine you holding out an apple to get him to come over like that. :D
Sorry you have had issue with your settings, but yay for Tiger for supporting the cause!But the really important question is: Are there any boar?! You know how essential those thick, rich, juicy, delicious boar-steaks are for any well-to-do enjoyer of fine foods!
ReplyDeleteThere certainly are boar in The Wold :)
My one problem with Harwick is that it is in no way a port. The name would suggest a port of some sort - and I have to say I am a little disappointed. Turbine's research into Turbine is usually fairly good, and I would have thought they would have realised the -wick ending would suggest a settlement on the Anduin or other reasonably sized river/lake. Ah well, at the end of the day it is only a minor bugbear.

If this doesn't perfectly define excess, what does? Kelly Osbourne, one of the stars of "Fashion Police" on E!, came under fire in 2012 for getting a $250,000 black diamond manicure, but that's old news. Kelly has one-upped herself with a $1 million manicure, this time with her fingernails coated in white diamonds.
Kelly posted a picture of herself getting bejeweled on Instagram with a lengthy explanation, writing, "Who remembers my $250,000 @AZATURE manicure from the Emmys last year? Well … last night I had the honor of being the only girl in the world to test out the Million dollar white diamond #AZATURE manicure! I still can't get my head around the price but if I help this magnificent little bottle get sold a BIG amount of money will be donated to The Sharon Osbourne colon cancer foundation and Race to Erase MS!"
It's unclear how, exactly, she's going to sell a million dollar manicure, but maybe Kelly thinks tying the over the top nail polish to charity will save her from anyone calling foul. Good luck with that, Kelly. Ether way, enjoy your shiny fingertips.

Tell me what you think :)
Rated 2 / 5 stars
if you restart the loop 1 bar in you get a snazzy remix, nice art, but a lot more effort could have made this a lot better, the looping is annoying
Rated 5 / 5 stars
my friend though it was a porin cuz he thought it sead sex and he sead man your going to get in truble and i sead why and he sead you about to wach a porin LOL
lollll :))
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Impressive though you have to work on it
Well this loop isn't your regular type of loop, it showed some originality, though sadly the animation wasn't to say the least the worse nor is it the best. It looks as if you made it very stale. The fingers do not look as if they were playing naturally, you have to put in some in-betweens to smooth it out a bit. Though something that impressed me was the art, it was very unique and I like the shade you gave it.
As for the loop, you messed it up. After a while the loop will return to the preloader with the music still playing that is an issue that you will have to fix.
The music was very beautiful and fitting, it faded in and out very good job.
Overall I'd have to say that your main flaws were in the animation, though it is an experiment. Another flaw is the looping process anyways this was very good overall and you are very talented. Keep up the good work!
yes, sorry , I wanted to make' it better and longer but my computer is crap, I finished this animation in coupe of hours but it took me ages to just copy after that some frames and save it :(, flash uses a LOT of memoy I don't know how, after severar drawing my computer is slow and when I draw a line I need 4 seconds to wait to load and like 3 sec if I hit Ctrl+z to undo :( ...tnx for taking your rime to review :)

Big Sean Thought Key Wane's Beats Were Wack In High School
Tell me about your "Beware" single. You decided to sample The Four Tops' "Ain't No Woman (Like The One I've Got)." Why did you lift that for the record?
It was actually a part during Wayne's verse, but that song, a lot of the producers like Mike Dean—who is a legendary producer that did a lot on Watch The Throne and did a lot of Geto Boys and UGK and Jay Z and all these different things—he co-produced it with my producer Key Wane, who is also a new producer getting in the game and the first producer I signed. He's working with Drake and Beyoncé and all these different people.
Key Wane Goes From Remixing Songs In Class To Working On Big Sean's Hall Of Fame
It's funny because I used to tell him his beats were wack in high school. Now, he's on his way to being a legendary producer and my first producer. So, him and Mike Dean's vision on the track. It brought like an eerie, simple vibe. I thought it was cool. I thought it fit the album really good.
You are known to be Kanye's protege, but now that you are growing into your own artist, what advice do you take from him and what is something you do on your own as a gut reaction?
I definitely love to take what people have to offer. But most importantly, I listen to what I feel in my heart. Sometimes when I didn't listen to my heart and things weren't working out like how I wanted to. I made a promise to myself, especially after this album, I always listen to my heart. Always go with what I believe in. That's one of the things [Kanye West] taught me indirectly without even saying. Just from his actions. He's the best. Kanye West is the best. Period. Nobody can argue with that.
You gotta take risks at some point. You live and you learn. He had a lot to do with this, like DONDA and his company. The music. He was the reason that my album packaging looked so good. It's such a conceptual album packaging. Everything from the music and the videos all went together so well. It really felt like a real project. He's the reason I have a "Fire" beat. He gave me the beat for "Fire." He had it and he loved it, but [he said], 'I think this will be great for you.' He gave me input on songs like "Nothing Is Stopping You." I used his voice on "Nothing Is Stopping You." He gave me a lot of input, the songs he liked. What were his favorite, what were his least favorite. All that. It's just great. He's a great dude and he let's you be artistic.
Finally Famous debuted at No. 3. With your newfound buzz, do you think you'll do a lot better?
Yeah, I hope so. You can only hope for the best, you feel me? I got a long time in this game, so whatever happens, happens. I'm definitely gonna keep putting albums out. Keep making music for my fans, for my believers. People who are inspired and for the dreamers. Yeah, I definitely hope for the best for sure. I hope people can go out and support.
Miley Cyrus is rumored to be on Kanye West's remix to "Black Skinhead." What are your thoughts on her becoming hip-hop?
I love that genres mix, man. I don't get why people have to be so judgmental and so damn stupid. I think its cool. Whatever they want to do, whatever Miley and Kanye do, I'm sure it would be an event.
It was also supposed to be part of a remix EP. Would you do something similar for your fans?
Yeah, that actually sounds like a great idea. [Laughs]

white smoke after going through water
It rained for the first time in a while so I went out to this muddy water hole and went through it a couple times. When the water splashed over the hood, white smoke would come from the hood. What is this from? I checked the engine but saw nothing wrong.
The water flashing to steam from the engine heat perhaps?
That's exactly what I thought, it just looks so horrible though haha looks like I'm screwing my jeep up
I guess check the oil and make sure its not milky or anything just in case. I'm pretty sure its just the water thing though. Its happened to me a couple of times :wavey:
Alright sounds good. Thanks bud.

Vantage pileup closes eastbound I-90
A chain-reaction accident involving at least 24 vehicles closed eastbound Interstate 90 for much of the day Thursday as emergency crews struggled in blowing dust, ash and smoke to remove cars and semis from a quarter-mile stretch above Vantage near the Columbia River.
Washington State Patrol Trooper Darren Wright said 13 people were injured, five of them seriously, but there were no fatalities.
Officially, WSP was saying late Thursday the cause of the accident was still under investigation. The state…

Strangely, I've had the same conversation, answering the same questions several times this week. The main points are:
1. Yes, I'm home with my son full-time.
2. No, that wasn't my plan.
3. I did quality assurance for a small technical publications company, and for a short time, I was a technical copy editor. Which means I judge you for your bad grammar, but not as much as I judge you for your formatting. (That's right, I am mentally red penning your centered, white text on a medium-grey background, and I have stopped reading more than one blog because the layout was so bad as to be offensive.)
The fourth, unspoken question that hangs in the air seems to be something about whether I enjoy what I do now. It's often masked by a strained, "Oh, that's nice...that you get to stay home with him."
The truth is: it's not my ideal situation. But I don't know what would be. (Would anything be?) However, I have begun to see and appreciate the undeniable value in the work I do. And not just the work of being responsible to a growing human being.
I am a homemaker. It feels strange to acknowledge, because despite myself I still have a mental image of what "homemaker" looks like, and she ain't me! I'm too disorganized, too self-centered, too introspective. I despise any task that doesn't get completed and stay completed. I'm visually oriented, but I don't understand interior design. I'm a creative cook, but I can't sew on a button, I am an inefficient housekeeper, and I would rather do my own dental work than garden.
I have been at home full-time since Westley was four months old. But it wasn't until earlier this month when a huge shift took place in my mind and I realized that this home is my work. I've been thinking of the things I do as housework when I need to think of them as home/work.
It seems like a silly thing to come upon more than three years after the fact, but the change in me since I was struck by the home/work concept has been remarkable. For one thing, the house is a lot cleaner. While Rob is away doing his work, I'm home doing mine. Strangely, I no longer resent loading and unloading the dishwasher three times a day. I don't look forward to it, but I approach it with the same attitude I would bring to a page of copy. This needs to be done. It's my job to do it. It doesn't define the kind of person I am, and regardless of how simple or complicated the task is, I can appreciate my ability to do it well. (Plus, unloading and reloading the dishwasher takes five minutes. And then I get to do something else!)
I can't imagine myself as a life-long homemaker, but I'm finally proud of the work I'm doing. I'm not wishing for something else or mourning the loss of a "real job." In fact, I can't imagine a job more real than making a home and raising a child.

November a Month To Be Thankful 11-4-11
November 4, 2011, I am thankful for my two fantastic children. They put up with mom dragging them off to an old church and cemetery. I think they do kinda enjoy seeing where their ancestors lived. At different times, we have pictures made of my great aunt, mom, me, my children on the steps of this church.

This means a wizard will have a deck of cards with them. Since cards were used to train wizards in legerdemain, Since they have cards with them, they frequently know how to use them. Guild magic users often have a knack for fancy shuffles, palming cards, and a variety of card tricks and games.

Cairn Terrier named Buzz
"A puppy?" I shrieked, reaching into the box. I lifted the dark, wiry-haired baby to my face, and it covered my mouth in warm, wet kisses. Travis beamed, triumphant. "You like him?" "Him? I love him! You got me a puppy!" "It's a Cairn Terrier. I had to drive three hours to pick him up Thursday after class."
Emma by Knippslicht | Men in Wax, via Flickr
The Cairn Terrier comes in a variety of colors. All are attractive, and you will love your Cairn Terrier whatever color he turns out to be. It can be difficult if not impossible to predict adult color based on the puppy coat. Color changes in many Cairn Terriers continue for years, most brindles eventually becoming very dark, bordering on black. Some wheatens and reds also darken while others may remain light.

Conditions Are Favorable for Prescribed Burn near Powderhorn, CO (06-04-13) |
Gunnison, Colo. – The Bureau of Land Management's Gunnison Field Office is planning to begin a prescribed burn for the Indian Creek fuels treatment project later this week. Expected weather and fuel conditions should allow fire managers to complete 100 acres of prescribed fire treatment in the project area, which is located four miles west of Powderhorn, Colo. between Dutch Gulch and Sapinero Mesa. While wildfire activity is increasing in much of the western U.S., local conditions in the project area are within the parameters to conduct the prescribed burn safely. Completing prescribed fire treatments can be challenging; in that fire managers balance the need to proactively treat vegetation to reduce the likelihood of large wildfires that could threaten communities with the specific environmental conditions needed to ensure a safe prescribed burn. An environmental analysis and detailed burn plan outline the parameters for the prescribed burn at Indian Creek. The burn plan contains specific criteria regarding weather conditions and air quality that must be met to help ensure control of the burn as well as to minimize the potential smoke impacts to local communities. The BLM obtained a Smoke Permit which identifies conditions for implementing the prescribed burn by the Colorado State Air Pollution Control Division. The objective of this prescribed burn is to reduce hazardous fuels adjacent to private development and to improve wildlife habitat for elk and deer in the project area. The Indian Creek prescribed burn will also reintroduce fire to a fire adapted ecosystem and help restore healthy forests and species diversity. Fire crews will be onsite during the burn – as well as monitor the burn area following completion of the burn - to ensure public safety. While smoke may be visible in the area at times during the burn, most of the smoke will lift and dissipate during the warmest part of the day. Some smoke may linger over the area and in drainages as temperatures drop during the evening. For information on wildfires and restrictions in the area, call the Southwest District Fire Management Information line (970.240.1070), visit the MIFMU website (http://gacc.nifc.gov/rmcc/ The Southwest District Fire Management program covers the BLM Colorado's Southwest District and the Gunnison Field Office (BLM), the Uncompahgre Field Office (BLM), and Tres Rios Field Office (BLM) in the Colorado counties of Archuleta, Conejos, Delta, Dolores, Gunnison, Hinsdale, La Plata, Mesa, Mineral, Montezuma, Montrose, Ouray, Rio Grande, Saguache, San Juan and San Miguel. |
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands. |

Anger against the country's military rulers also spilled into the streets where a protester was killed late Saturday in a demonstration outside the Ministry of Defense. Protesters clashed for three hours with unidentified assailants supporting the military, throwing rocks, firebombs and glass bottles.
The parliament seated three months ago has been demanding it be allowed to form a Cabinet to replace the one appointed by the country's military rulers late last year. That Cabinet is headed by Prime Minister Kamal el-Ganzouri, a holdover from the era of authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak who was ousted in a popular uprising 14 months ago.

Shia LaBeouf Achieves Self-Awareness, Becomes A Being Of Pure Dickishness
If you were wondering, Shia LaBeouf, a multi-millionaire who has been famous since he was about 12, doesn't think copyright really means anything.
If the actor's recent statements in a nigh-insufferable interview at Bleeding Cool are to be believed, he's been playing everyone all along. Or maybe that's just what he wants everyone to believe now that he's been caught plagiarizing Daniel Clowes' comic "Justin M. Damiano" for his short film HowardCantour.com.
In email quotes written much like the awkward poetry of his self-published comics (apparently they are his own words), LaBeouf offered his philosophy on the concept of intellectual property:
Authorship is censorship
Should God sue me if I paint a river?
Should we give people the death sentence for parking violations-
You'll not only have less parking violations but less DRIVERS.
So this is why LaBeouf doesn't really write much himself, I guess. That driving analogy got away from him. (It's also apparently very reminiscent of an old Steve Martin joke.)
He went on to say that the very concept of law is "against [his] principles" and that copyright should only apply to distribution, not authorship. He said that, in the digital age, the creation of art is nothing but repurposing. He says he subscribes to the philosophies of Jeff Koons and Marcel Duchamp, who made art via reproductions of items or repurposed items.
"What does an artist do – they just point and say look at this," he said.
I think Clowes and lots of other working artists, including screenwriters and directors of the movies that LaBeouf has starred in, would maybe disagree a little bit. Even Duchamp and other postmodern artists took things and made them into other things, or at least recontextualized them. LaBeouf just took a Daniel Clowes comic and made it a movie without asking.
Speaking of Clowes, LaBeouf apologized to the comics artist via skywriting over Hollywood Wednesday.
CLOUD: - vapor floating in the atmosphere - remote servers used to SHARE DATA - to make LESS CLEAR or TRANSPARENT pic.twitter.com/jw9JlEi791
— Shia LaBeouf (@thecampaignbook) January 1, 2014
Clowes lives in Oakland, but LaBeouf wouldn't let a little thing like that get in the way of his crazy stunt.
LaBeouf also all but admitted he was trolling people on Twitter with this tweet the day before:
You have my apologies for offending you for thinking I was being serious instead of accurately realizing I was mocking you.
— Shia LaBeouf (@thecampaignbook) December 31, 2013
That quote apparently is also appropriated from somewhere else, a column by RedState columnist and Fox News contributor Erick Erickson.
A promo image for Boom! Town, Boom! Studios "literary comics" imprint, has also been conspicuously removed from LaBeouf's Twitter page and his official website for The Campaign Book is now largely content-free.
In perhaps the biggest act of gall LaBeouf has yet committed, he told Bleeding Cool that he "never asked to be paid and never profited off anyone's back." It isn't clear if he means that in reference to his entire film career or only in regards to his HowardCantour.com short film, but come the f**k on, dude.
