DELAND - Future farmers from Volusia County's 4-H program, Volusia County Schools' FFA classes and independent youth exhibitors collected their checks at a special dinner recently at the fairgrounds. The checks were payment for market animals they exhibited at the Volusia County Fair in November.
Youth livestock exhibitors have been a tradition of county fairs since the inception of county fairs. Youngsters purchase young pigs, goats, lambs or steer at the beginning of the year. They give up play time to feed and take care of the animals in addition to their normal chores and homework.
In 4-H, youth exhibitors have to document their project in a record book, too. Before the fair begins, these same youngsters help in the set up process, cleaning and preparing the fairgrounds' livestock barn. They make arrangements and pay to transport their animal.
Then they show up daily to give it food, water, clean up after it and to answer questions from fair visitors. Youth exhibitors take their animal before the judges and take a written exam to prove their knowledge of the animal's breed standards and its commercial value. When the fair is over, these kids have gained a wealth of experience and some cash when the animal sells.
"I learned a lot about business, what to do and what not to do," said Derek Wilkerson, 15.
Business rule No. 1? Pay back your loans. Wilkerson earned $3 per pound on his market swine and got a check for $295.
"I have to pay back my grandma for tires on my truck," said Wilkerson.
Rachel Morris, 10, is a member of the Barn Bratz 4-H club. She raised and sold her second market swine this year. Her pig, Gordy, brought in $1,500. Morris said the first year she raised an animal, it was hard to say goodbye when it sold. She asked her mom if they could sneak into the fair barn at night and get it back.
"Then she got the check," said her mother, Debbie Morris, laughing.
If you wonder how children can raise an animal and sell it for food 11-year-old Morgane Blackwelder has an answer, "If you buy meat in the store, it's what we do here. It's business," said Blackwelder.
Youth exhibitors raised 588 animals for showing at the fair. At auction 153 were sold. During the celebratory dinner, sponsored by PNC Bank, the youngsters walked away with checks totaling $166,429.25.
Youth livestock exhibitors gain experience, cash

Fish + Food = Science of Aquaponics *
Difficulty | |
Time Required | Very Long (1+ months) |
Prerequisites | Read the following Science Buddies resource on Measuring Plant Growth |
Material Availability | Readily available |
Cost | Very High (over $150) |
Safety | Use caution when using drills and power tools. Be sure to wear safety goggles. Adult supervision is required. |
Watching fish swim around a tank is not only a soothing activity, but (along with learning how to care for the aquarium inhabitants) it is also a good introduction to ichthyology, the study of fish. But having pet fish doesn't have to be a passive hobby; you can put those fish to work by helping to grow food for you and your family. How? By designing and building an aquaponics system.
Aquaponics combines hydroponics with aquaculture. Hydroponics is the science of growing plants without soil in nutrient-rich water. The nutrients are exactly tailored to nourish and meet the growth requirements of the plants. Plants need nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and a variety of micronutrients to thrive. Normally, in a hydroponics system, synthetic fertilizers added to the water provide all of these essential nutrients. Aquaculture is the breeding and farming of aquatic organisms, such as fish, crustaceans, and aquatic plants, usually for human consumption.
In an aquaponics system, the fish provide nutrients in the form of their "waste," or excrement. This waste contains nitrogen in the form of ammonia (too much of which can be toxic to fish), along with a variety of nutrients like phosphorus and potassium. Nitrifying bacteria that live in the gravel in the fish tank and on the tank walls convert the ammonia first into nitrites and then to nitrates. The water in the tank, which contains ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, phosphorus, potassium, and other micronutrients, is continuously pumped into a grow bed where the plants are located. The plants remove the nutrients from this water, and nitrifying bacteria in the grow bed (working together with the tank filter) clean the water by converting excess ammonia into nitrates, which plants use to grow. The clean water is then sent back into the fish tank. The grow bed and plants act as a biofilter, cleansing the water so that the fish remain healthy. In smaller, backyard aquaponics systems, the grow bed sits on top of the fish tank and the cleansed water from the grow bed drips back into the tank. In aquaponics, the fish, plants, and beneficial bacteria all depend on each other to live. Watch this video to learn more about commercial aquaponics.
What are some advantages of growing food in an aquaponics system? First, it is efficient, producing from one system both food with high protein content (fish) and food with vitamins and minerals (vegetables). Second, aquaponics is mostly a closed system regarding water consumption, because it uses recirculating water. This means it uses minimal water and can be set up in arid areas that don't have plentiful water. All that is required is food for the fish. Finally, aquaponics is a model for sustainable food production because it integrates hydroponics and aquaculture, meaning that it recycles all of the materials it uses. This is good for our environment because instead of feces-filled water being dumped into our water system and causing problems downstream, it is used to grow plants, is subsequently cleaned, and then recirculated through the fish tanks.
There are three primary methods for growing food aquaponically: the raft method, the nutrient film technique (or NFT), and the media-filled bed method. The raft method grows plants on boards (rafts) in tanks separate from the fish tank, where the raft supports the plants and the roots of the plants sit directly in the water. Water flows constantly from the fish tank, through filters, through the rafts, and then back to the fish tank. This method is used commercially, as shown in the video, and the extra volume of water in the raft tank is a benefit as it provides a buffer for the fish so they are not stressed by possible water quality problems. With the nutrient film technique, instead of growing the plants in tanks with their roots submerged in the water, the NFT trickles a thin film of water over the roots of the plants, which are grown in narrow channels. This method is not used as heavily as the other two methods because it requires a biofilter to provide additional nitrifying bacteria. In the media-filled bed method, the plants grow in a box filled with a growth medium, such as perlite or gravel, on top of the fish tank. Water from the fish tank is pumped into the box and then percolates through the growth medium and back down into the fish tank. The kinds of plants that can be grown depend on the density of fish in the tank. Lettuce and herbs require low to medium nutrient levels, so they don't need a high density of fish, while fruiting plants like tomatoes have higher nutrient requirements and therefore need a higher density of fish to supply their nutrient needs.
In this environmental engineering science project you will design and build an aquaponics system using fish from your local pet store, like goldfish. Since this project deals with nonhuman vertebrate animals your science fair may require SRC approval. Review Science Buddies' Scientific Review Committee (SRC) page for additional tips. Read the first reference in the bibliography to learn one way (the media-filled bed method) to build an experimental system. Use the aquaponics system to grow lettuce and basil and compare their growth to plants grown conventionally in soil. Compare the area of the leaves and the root systems between the two methods. Is there a color difference between the roots? Do the roots have more root hairs grown either way? What differences do you observe? The guide to Measuring Plant Growth can help you design ways to evaluate whether aquaponics is a viable method for growing plants.

Killing yourself home alone
Stuff reports:
A coroner is calling for Parliament to make up its mind about euthanasia after an elderly woman chose to suffocate herself with a handmade contraption in her Lower Hutt home.
Widow Edna Gluyas, 85, waited for her family to leave from a visit and lay down in her bed for a final time, alone, before setting in motion the process that would kill her on August 3, 2011
What an awful way to be forced to go, because there was no legal option for ending her life.
Less than two hours later, her daughter returned to find her dead by what Wellington Regional Coroner Ian Smith has determined "euthanasia by suffocation".
In his report, Smith calls for Parliament to confront the issue of euthanasia – a topic that has long been dodged.
"Once again this death raises the vexed issue of euthanasia and, as I have recorded in past cases, this process simply will not go away, and it will be necessary for Parliament to address this matter yet again."
I agree.
Three weeks ago, Labour MP Maryan Street withdrew her End of Life Choice Bill to legalise voluntary euthanasia, amid fears that it would become a political football during election year.
Street withdrew it because her caucus bullied her into doing so. They just didn't want to be associated with a controversial election in election year. So instead people like Edna Gluyas will have to continue to kill themselves with no opportunity to say goodbye to loved ones, in order to escape from their chronic pain.

The Wide World of Washington Gossip
There's a war raging here in DC. Battles are being fought daily nightly hourly. Tongues are wagging, whispers are being shared, text messages are being keyed in, Twitterers are tweeting, and BlackBerry cameras are flashing. Just who is fighting this fight? Why … it's the Washington gossip columnists of course.
Once upon a time, in a much simpler time, in a land very much unlike the one we live in today, there was really only one gossip column in the nation's capital. The Post's "Reliable Source". If your name was in the RS, you were most likely the President, the child of the President, someone keeping company with the President, a politician, a diplomat, an ambassador, a Hollywood celebrity, a NY celebrity, a business leader, a philanthropist, or just REALLY RICH. And gossip this column did. No holds barred. No blushing. No bashfulness. Hey, regular people couldn't get to any of those folks whose names and faces appeared in boldface type in the inky paper. But, we could certainly tip the RS off if we knew of some misbehavin' (read: dancing on tables at Smith Point as secret service sat in the Georgetown alleys).
Times have changed. Oh, have they changed. First, there were the blogs. Then there were the socially focused magazines and publications. Then came the gossip columns in the political rags. Then there was Twitter. Now there's the WEBSITES of the socially focused magazines and publications, the WEBSITES of the gossip columns in the political rags, the WEBSITES that aggregate all of the above and everyone is Tweeting and blogging. By the way, all of these events overlapped each other.
Is there more to gossip about now in DC than back during the days when we rushed to our front door, not caring about the black ink on our fingertips as we eagerly paged through to find out what Politician/CEO/Philanthropist/Actor in town/President's Daughter/President's intern had done what, when and with whom and where. I think so. We'll always have the old guard to chit chat about, but now, we've seen an influx of A-list (and C-list) Hollywood actors, directors, producers hit the Hill. We've seen films being shot in town, movies being screened with the stars at the show. We've seen them walking in and out of card stores in Georgetown, hanging out in clubs, sitting at sporting events. We've seen them hang out with us, you know, the regular people because there are so many more parties and events being held.
So, for one, there are more celebrities in and out of DC. Two, they are more and more accessible. This provides never ending fodder. Three, all of the bloggers (I'm not denying I am one of these people), gossip columnists, and social magazines and publications are most likely to be physically near these celebrities to catch a quote, photo, video and certainly take note of who was in the room and any curious behavior. In fact, there's strength in numbers. Because it's virtually impossible to cover every event each evening, many share tips, photos, information and often link back to sites. Hey, we are all friends, right (in actuality, we really are all friends and do like to help each other)?
Friends yes, but let's be frank. The battle of the best continues to wage because when it comes right down to it, it's a job and performance is key. Being scooped or being unaware is not acceptable. If your boss (or readers) sees your competition is getting better photos and information, that's not a good thing. If you have a reputation for producing the best and are the fastest in putting up what happened and have a unique angle, then you win.
So who are those who are battling it out? One such competitor is The Hill's The Washington Scene (Christina Wilkie) whose site just went live today. Then we have POLITICO CLICK (Kiki Ryan, Patrick Gavin, Anne Schroeder Mullins) which started a few months ago. Kiki and Patrick both worked previously at The Examiner's Yeas and Nays with Jeff Dufour, who left to go to Urban Daddy DC. Yeas and Nays are now Nikki Schwab and Tara Palmeri. We also have Stephanie Green and Elizabeth Glover of The Washington Times' Green & Glover Undercover. Lest I forget to mention the original, Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts the current duo behind The Reliable Source. MediaBistro FishbowlDC has Christine Delargy and Matt Dornic. Washington Whispers of U.S. News and World Report is Paul Bedard. There's also Janet Donovan's Hollywood on the Potomac and Carol Joynt's Washington Social Diary. Of course, there's the Wonkette, Scene Bisnow, Washington Life, DC, Capitol File, all the blogs, and so many more ways to give tips, get good gossip, and see photos of celebrities in DC and from out of town. I'm certain I've forgotten few.
I think one major factor in the onslaught of more people to cover gossip and the Washington social scene in general is technology. Technology has created a world where instantaneously the media can get the dish and give the dish. There's a barrage of information being put up on websites with videos, photos, links. The gossip is being Tweeted. There is no time to waste. So yes, while we certainly have a lot more to talk about in DC than in the one-gossip-column-town days, the way in which we give and receive it has changed the landscape even more so.
It will be interesting to see how this gossip and social scene in Washington continues to morph. What will be next? Large scale digital screens all over town for livestreaming videos? Hmmmm. Now there's an idea…

Philadelphia's Wachovia Spectrum, the arena that has hosted almost every major touring act since its completion in 1967, will close its doors at the end of this year, but not before a few more bands and artists trod its boards.
The venue just began its final concert series last night with a Green Day performance, and will end with Pearl Jam playing the arena Oct. 28 and 30.
Coming up a little sooner than Vedder & co. are two Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band concerts scheduled for Oct. 13-14.
September 16, 2003

As any Springsteen fan can tell you, the Spectrum and New Jersey's favorite son have had a special relationship going back to June 6, 1973, when The Boss opened for Chicago.
"This is the house of rock," Springsteen said when his current tour played the Spectrum on April 28. "This is the first arena we ever played. They don't make arenas like this anymore. There is a democratic-ness to these old buildings. It's a treat to really be here again and playing this lovely lady of a building."
It was also the Spectrum that hosted Springsteen and the band on the night after John Lennon was shot. At first Springsteen considered postponing the date. Instead, he attacked the issue head on, telling the audience at the beginning of the concert, "It's a hard world that asks you to live with a lot of things that are unlivable. And it's hard to come out here and play tonight, but there's nothing else to do."
Springsteen and the Spectrum almost made it into the Guinness Book of World Records when the E Street reunion tour played five nights at the Wachovia Center, and moved the production 758 feet, nine and a half inches across the parking lot to the Spectrum for one night. Guinness eventually rejected the proposed world record – "The Shortest Distance Ever Traveled By A Rock Show."
The two Springsteen gigs go on sale July 27 at 10 a.m. Comcast-Spectacor and Live Nation will continue to add shows to the Spectrum's final concert schedule. For more information, please click here for the Comcast-Spectacor Web site.

sionghchan wrote:Hi all,
Just to add to my previous posting about this particular Email Header Date field issue, one additional bit of info. I'm actually already on IMAP for ALL my email accounts, so, this isn't a POP issue.
I was wondering if anyone here knows how to raise this issue to Blackberry Support? I'm a loyal Blackberry support and I'm patient with BB10 as it is a new OS and I'm an early adopter. However, I need to know that BB Support at least KNOWS about this issue and is currently working on it.
I tried calling Rogers (Canada) support line and they said that they do not support BB OS issues. They only support hardware issues (e.g. if phone died and I need to replace etc.) However, when it comes to direct BB Operating System issues/bugs, they are hands off. They (Rogers) will not even jot down my issue and raise it with BB on behalf of their customer!
BB Support themselves do not provide any direct support and it is a pay by incident support (even if this is a BB OS10 bug). So, how do you raise this issue with BB so that they are aware of it?
Hi sionghchan,
The IMAP answer was for someone else (the post just before it)
I believe that there was another thread here that mentioned that BB was aware of the date formatting issue, I'll try to dig it up and post a link in this thread.
As to the proper procedure for contacting Blackberry, it is most definately through your carrier. Your carrier has a support team that is specifically trained by Blackberry to deal with the front-line Blackberry issues, if they cannot help you they are supposed to escalate you to Blackberry support. Hardware, software... anything. This is the process.
When you call Rogers make sure you chose the prompts that are Blackberry specific and you will end up talking to Roger's Blackberry support centre. They should all know this process. Sometimes you will get someone that is, for whatever reason, unwilling to transfer the call up to Blackberry's own support team. I usually immediately hang up and try to get an other person on the line that actually knows how to do their job, or ask for their manager.
It also always helps to ask for their first and last names and an incident number. This makes the call a little more official and will motivate them to do their jobs properly.
Good luck!
problem confirmed really frustrating sending to my colleagues in the office.
I have raised this issue with Bell Canada who put me in contact with a 2nd level Blackberry analyst. A ticket number has been created with a link to this forum thread. So, hopefully it will get some attention soon.

Thanks drewread for the Rogers Support Process. Much appreciated from this end!
If at all possible, since there are many options available in the Rogers menu system, do you think you can put up a "press 1 then 2 then 3" type quick instructions for everyone to reach the Rogers BB Specific Team?
I think many here would appreciate this info so that we know we can all reach the same team.
Many thanks again for your help!

Thank you Harleyrider! This is why I'm part of this BB Community. It is so vibrant and supportive.
Any updates?
Invalid timestamps have forced me to change my signature message......not good advertising for the NEW and improved Blackberry.
I spoke todat with both BELL and BlackBerry and neither one can/will give an ETA on the fix.
I can't send email on my BELL sympatico email accounts unless I turn the wi-fi off.
Six weeks and waiting!
The Z-10 is emitting a zone-less date header which is technically a violation of RFC2822; the server *should* interpret this as GMT (identical to "+0000", but it appears some do not.
Mine does and I didn't notice a problem with it for that reason. It's definitely wrong however.

GMAT Tip: The Groundwork for a 700+ Score
This tip on improving your GMAT score was provided by Vivian Kerr at Veritas Prep.
Whether you have two months to study or a year, if you're a smart, ahead-of-the-pack student aiming for a 700+ score, you probably already have some of the GMAT bases covered: You're well-read, fairly strong on grammar, and have a good grasp of basic algebra and geometry. So, how can you best guide your studies? By focusing on the "GMAT triumvirate," the three aspects of the test that must be surmounted in order to get that shiny 700+: content, strategy, and pacing.
"Content" can be subdivided into two groups: format and concepts. Start with familiarizing yourself with the basic format of the GMAT. Take a free practice test online, pick up a copy of the GMAT Official Guide, and get comfortable with the test's question types and presentation. The second group is the one that will separate the test-taker stranded in the 500 zone from the savvy 700+ student: a strong grasp of concept. As you begin to study, it's important to recognize patterns in your incorrect questions. Do you find yourself getting number properties questions incorrect 60 percent of the time? Might want to pick up a number properties supplement. The sooner you hone in on your weak concepts, the sooner you can address them.
"Strategy" is a word that can seem a bit intimidating, but it boils down to this: Do you have a systematic approach to each question type? And, more important, does it work for you? By strategy, I mean a written-out "Step 1 … Step 2 …" plan of attack. Write it down and keep it next to you when you practice questions. Strategy is there to prevent you from missing the traps of harder questions. Sub-700 students will sometimes skim reading comprehension passages, sometimes take notes, sometimes read the question-stem first, sometimes not, to mixed results. If you want consistency and improvement, develop a strategy and stick to it. If it doesn't work, ask yourself what about it needs to be tweaked? Pay close attention to why you're getting questions incorrect. Minor strategy adjustments will really boost your ability to go for the 700+ score.
"Pacing" is arguably the toughest component of the GMAT exam. If we had all the time in the world, surely we'd be able to get those word problems correct. Unfortunately, we're going to have to be accurate and fast. You'll need to gauge the right time to start introducing pacing drills into your studies. Students who start increasing their pace immediately usually have weak strategy. Students who ignore pacing until three weeks before the exam may be sweating bullets as they watch the timer click down come GMAT day. Make sure you've got your strategies and most of the content down first, then alternate working on questions untimed, to perfect your approach, with regular pacing drills. Pacing is not something that you only practice on full-length practice tests (although that's important, too). Try doing five harder-level data sufficiency questions in 10 minutes, eight sentence correction questions in six to seven minutes, and so on.
Remember that students who get a 700+ score do more than cover the basics. They get inside the heads of the test-makers. To the extent that you can do this, you'll be gliding toward the 90th percentile in no time.
Vivian Kerr has been teaching and tutoring in the Los Angeles area since 2005. She graduated from the University of Southern California, studied abroad in London, and has worked for several test-prep giants tutoring, writing content, and blogging about all things SAT, ACT, GRE, and GMAT.

Battlefield 3 vs. Bad Company 2 Comparison Video
Comments are Closed

Posted: November 19, 2011 5:47 PM -
This video is comparing battlefield bad company 2 rendered video and battlefield 3 real gameplay footage. Those two are not comparable at all.
Posted: November 12, 2011 2:28 PM -
Well, speaking on behalf of old school gamers, most of you guys sound like trained chimps, all distracted by the pretty colors. You youngsters still think that graphics are what make a game, and yet, you can't figure out why you're bored with a game after only 6 months.
I played the alpha version of BF3, and I can tell you with confidence that this game is NOT the successor of Battlefield 2, but more the successor of Bad Company 2. There is not a single similarity in this game to Battlefield 2, but plenty of similarities to Bad Company 2. And since console gamers never got to actually play Battlefield 2, you can keep your two cents out of this post. Those who fell in love with BF 1942 and then with BF2 are going to be sorely disappointed, unless you actually liked Bad Company 2.
Most guys that I played BF2 with that moved on to Bad Company 2 said they merely tolerated the lack of fun factor in BC2. Plus, after 4 years of BF2, they just needed something new. The graphics are obviously better in BC2, but again, graphics alone aren't enough to make a great game.
Again, I'm not expecting everyone on this forumn to understand what I'm talking about, especially the console gamers who never played Battlefield 2, but don't just take my word for it. Please feel free to spend your hard earned money and find out for yourselves. If you liked Bad Company 2, then you might like this game. If you like BF2 and were disappointed with BC2, then you are definitely gonna be disappointed with this new game.
Personally, if the beta version doesn't show me more resemblence of BF2 than the alpha version, I'm cancelling my pre-order. Save myself $60 and just play it at a LAN center.Posted: August 1, 2011 5:21 PM -
You know, I was thinking of re-purchasing Bad Company 2, but after seeing Battlefield 3 footage compared to it, I just can't even look back at Bad Company 2 anymore. DICE looks like they've really stepped up their game with Battlefield 3. To say I can't wait for this game is a true understatement.
Posted: March 16, 2011 8:34 AM -
What's the point in a comparison if it's an hd video action packed campaign vs a low def video of some guy wandering around alone in multiplayer. Bc2 is a lot better than they show. Both games are awesome! Already pre ordered bf3 ftw
Posted: March 14, 2011 12:19 AM -
Wow, it's like the difference from top notch xbox games to launch 360 games. Way to juice that hardware for all its got!
Posted: March 9, 2011 7:20 PM -
Great my post just disappear ..lol G4 can u take a critic???? it seems u cannot...
Posted: March 8, 2011 7:30 AM -
Wao!!!!! g4 thanks for the footage is obvious u wanna make a point here and overrate BF3 ....a new foll may bite the hook but not us old gamers ...its incredible how advertising works and how websites and groups can make the difference when it comes to sell.....first off i repeat the footage looks amazing thats a fact but what r we looking at this is a cinematic i believe not actual game play and it is with no doubt from PC version, the 360 video for bc2 still looks awsome even after some degradation done ....just to make ur point , everybody should know that the console version of the game will be far from this image quality so please stop playing with the innocent folks that visit your site seeking information ...and then u see comments up there " omg my mind is blown" and stuff like that lol unbelievable ...
Posted: March 8, 2011 7:18 AM -
hawt dam, when i watched this (i know the bc2 footage is degraded in quality) i began to notice more and more that bf3 looks like a freaking documentary, and not a game.. whoever tries to convince me that COD looks and plays better is going to be sucking my Jeremiah Johnson for the next 12 years, at the end of which BF4 will be released and it will literally be the real matrix but for combat simulation. all powered by Frostbite. Thank you scandanavia for giving us an alternative to Bobby Ko-dick and his greedy money-orgy that is activision.

Posted: March 7, 2011 6:26 PM -
You were comparing graphics of Battlefield 3 running at top specs on a PC with BC2 footage played on a 360.
Posted: March 7, 2011 6:17 PM -
and i thought bad company 2 had graphics that couldnt be surpassed.....i was wrong
Posted: March 7, 2011 6:09 PM -
I keep reading elsewhere that the console version is going to have only 24 players. This is unacceptable. I doubt we will even get to pilot jets in multiplayer. Why bother to even include them if the player count is going to be so small. You will have 3 or 4 guys camping at the jet spawn for the chance to pilot one and then only a few players to actually go after objectives. The maps would fell so empty. The console version seems more and more like Bad Company 3 than Battlefield 3.
DICE flat out refuses to make a BOLD statement to clear the matter up once and for all, just like they refuse to patch BC2 on a regular basis. I really don't know how to feel about Battlefield 3 anymore. I don't have the extra cash to buy a gaming PC especially just for this one game. I will just wait patiently and hope for the best.Posted: March 7, 2011 5:47 PM -
Both games look sharp. While BC2 can be picked up on the cheap (at least on the PC side), the same won't be said for BF3 for quite some time. Further, as others have mentioned, I'm sure that the images in game on a solid rig are much better than what has been shown here.
I wonder what the specific differences are in the engines and how they will affect both the look and feel of the game?Posted: March 7, 2011 4:47 PM -
Im sorry, but the person playin BFBC2 sucks. Im a hardcore BFBC2 fan and that makes me want to cry. ;(
Posted: March 7, 2011 4:30 PM -
I completely agree with Tygraph. BC2 footage looks WAY better than what was seen in the videos.
Also, I'm really hoping that the Frostbite 2 engine will bring something more than just prettier graphics. I want better looking fully destructible buildings when they collapse. I hope they also keep the bullet physics. That's one of the main reasons why I still play BC2.Posted: March 7, 2011 3:37 PM -
I hope the console version of Battlefield 3 is good. I know it's originally a PC franchise and now while I hope they get the game they deserve, I am hoping the consoles at least get a good version as well. I only say this because so far all we have seen in PC footage and it looks incredible. Will the consoles look even remotely as good?

Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk
Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk
A Modest Bestiary
By David Sedaris; Ian Falconer (Illustrator)
Little Brown and Company, Hardcover, 9780316038393, 159pp.
Publication Date: September 28, 2010
Featuring David Sedaris's unique blend of hilarity and heart, this new collection of keen-eyed animal-themed tales is an utter delight. Though the characters may not be human, the situations in these stories bear an uncanny resemblance to the insanity of everyday life.
In "The Toad, the Turtle, and the Duck," three strangers commiserate about animal bureaucracy while waiting in a complaint line. In "Hello Kitty," a cynical feline struggles to sit through his prison-mandated AA meetings. In "The Squirrel and the Chipmunk," a pair of star-crossed lovers is separated by prejudiced family members.
With original illustrations by Ian Falconer, author of the bestselling Olivia series of children's books, these stories are David Sedaris at his most observant, poignant, and surprising.
"He's the best there is."
"A joy to read....Sedaris [is] a connoisseur of human nature at its worst."
-Boston Globe
"Sedaris is certainly worthy of hero worship....He is a master pathfinder."
-Charlotte Observer
"The preeminent humorist of his generation."
-Entertainment Weekly

So one thing that we know is that there is a strong correlation between recruiting and sales. But we also know that there is a high correlation between sales and entrepreneurship. Savvy coaches will find recruiting advantages whether it's through techniques, technology or a variety of processes. This is why I want to discuss a book that I recently read entitled The Lean Startup.
The book outlines its fundamentals within the context of entrepreneurship. But, we love many of the principles for technology and certainly see their application in recruiting. To demonstrate this point the author defines a startup as "an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty." Sound familiar? Not that far off from your athletic office…
There are many approaches in this book, but one that we really love is the idea of 'validated learning'. Validated learning is testing small things to see if they work and then constantly iterating and improving. The idea is to improve incrementally instead of changing the game plan altogether. Here is an example:
Let's say that you want to implement text messaging into your recruiting process (assuming this is legal for you). One model would be to just start sending out text-messages to all of your recruits, one after another…gun slinging. But this could be flawed. It's making the fundamental assumption that all recruits want your text messages and are more responsive to them. If you're just sending out text messages and eliminating email, what holes have you created that didn't exist before in order to follow an unproven strategy.
Instead, the validated learning approach would argue that you should try sending a few text messages and test the results. Ask the same type of questions that you did in 8th grade biology class and test your hypothesis accordingly. Will more recruits respond to my text messages? Will recruits interaction improve via this medium? Are recruits going to reply quicker? Am I going to annoy them if I text too much? How was the response of text messages compare to that of email?
Once these questions are answered, then adjust your approach and try sending more or less messages. Try sending more frequently or less frequently. Change the content of the message. Try sending to more recruits, then try sending to less. Try different hours of the day. Then look at the results and test again. Keep repeating.
The above is just an example, but the book argues that validated learning could be applied many other places. We use it in software development when adding new features, or new buttons or changing locations of certain elements. You can use it in your recruiting, play design, roster management and many other places during your day to day recruiting efforts.
The book is entitled "The Lean Startup: How Today's Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Businesses" by Eric Ries. It can be found at Amazon.com (see link below) and many other retailers.

ECE spending
NZPA report:
Labour is pledging to restore $400 million the Government has cut from early childhood education (ECE)
You really do have to wonder what sort of fiscal fairyland Labour are living in.
It gets even worse when you realise that the so called cuts, are in fact due to their miscalculation of costs. To quote the Minister:
Education Minister Anne Tolley says the Government's investment in early childhood education (ECE) in the coming year will be $100 million above the original Budget 2010 allocation, bringing the total spend to $1.4 billion.
"This is the most ever spent by any Government on early childhood education, reflecting the importance we place on the future of our young children," says Mrs Tolley.
$1.4b on ECE is not an insignificant amount of money.
"We are now at the stage where the taxpayer is subsidising ECE centres at an average of $7600 per child per year.
"This compares to an average of $5528 for a primary school student, and $6733 for a student at secondary school.
I understand it is possible for some children to cost the taxpayer almost $60,000 in ECE costs befiore they reach primary school.
"It makes no sense that ECE funding has trebled over the last five years, while the number of children starting school with some form of ECE has increased by only around one per cent.
Remember that figure – funding has trebled in five years. We are borrowing $300 million a week and Labour still says it is not enough and we must spend an extra $400 million. Goffynomics will lead to a credit downgrade very quickly.

Wonder if that's the last time I'll get the pleasure of seeing Pearl and his ugly orange blazer coach against my Cats?
Really nice road win with a simply amazing performance by Brandon Knight. What a player.
Wonder if that's the last time I'll get the pleasure of seeing Pearl and his ugly orange blazer coach against my Cats?
Really nice road win with a simply amazing performance by Brandon Knight. What a player.
Congrats on the win...and I like your SEC draw much better than ours.
I heard your record..it's alright.
If Pearl wasn't such a liar/cheater/scumbag I'd be happy to have him in the SEC.
I like to see good coaches in the SEC. Donovan, Stallings (who I dislike but still respect), Grant at Bama... The more good coaches in the SEC, the better it is for our league.
Pearl, on the other hand, needs to be kept far, far away from college kids. He deserves the same show-cause penalty assessed to Kelvin Sampson.
I hope that they fire the UT AD the same day they fire Pearl. I'm still amazed you can be the presiding AD while your men's basketball AND football programs commit major rules violations (with probation in both all but guaranteed) and keep your job... If this deal happened at UK the press would have seen Barnhardt and Calipari run out on a rail (and deservedly so).
You think the UT AD is responsible for Pearl lying about a barbecue? You think he's responsible for keeping Lane Kiffin within the rules? I think the investigation will show that the AD tried to police these guys but they went off the rail all by themselves
As for UK Calipari is no choir boy either. Don't think it couldn't happen to you
Not directly UK related, but UK/SEC fans may find the latest Tubby Smith rumor interesting:
Tubby moves on to Georgia Tech following a buy-out of Paul Hewitt's contract.
Also, John Pelphrey is on the hot seat at Arkansas. If he gets the boot, expect the Razerbacks to make a full-court-press to hire Mizzou's Mike Anderson.
That fake Facebook page is darn near the funniest thing I've ever seen.
"No you're not. Lol."
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Situational Hitting is Stupid
Sea Ray, I swear to God, if Cal did what Pearl did, and blatantly lied and worst of all instructed RECRUITS to lie, I would WANT him fired.
Believe it or not, I have some friends who are UT fans and I honestly feel bad for what they have had to go through. That AD needs to go, way too much bad stuff has happened under his watch.
Well, Hamilton hired Kiffin and I am pretty sure he hired Pearl as well, so wouldn't you agree that even if he tried to police them that he deserves the blame for hiring two men to run two big time programs and both of them are, to be kind, less than ethical?
I do agree with you though that they went off rails on their own (from what I've read) but hiring both of them in first place seemes to me to indicate a desire for winning over ethics.
"I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum... and I'm all out of bubble gum."
- - Rowdy Roddy Piper
"It takes a big man to admit when he is wrong. I am not a big man"
- - Fletch
In addition, Hamilton ran off a football legend in Phil Fulmer. Add that to what is going on with the basketball program and the one year of Kiffin and Hamilton needs shown the door.
Tennessee after Fulmer left reminded me a lot of Kentucky with Tubby. A guy who the game has passed by that a fraction of the fanbase still loved, but the other half wanted to see win at all costs. Once both were gone, both Kentucky and Tennessee made the worst hires possible (Gillispie from a PR standpoint, Kiffin from just about everything). Both programs made the right choices though the second time around.
My prediction on what I think will happen: Hamilton is fired and replaced by Pat Summitt. Mickie DeMoss takes over the womens team and Josh Pastner is hired from Memphis to replace Bruce Pearl. I think it is all entirely possible.
Pass. WVU rematch with Pitt looming in the sweet sixteen. I think we could beat Pitt but this isn't the year for payback against WVU.
Your guess is as good as mine, but when you consider that Tennessee is arguably the second best SEC job, one would think that they'll be able to land a coach who at least has proven he can at least advance in NCAA play.My prediction on what I think will happen: Hamilton is fired and replaced by Pat Summitt. Mickie DeMoss takes over the womens team and Josh Pastner is hired from Memphis to replace Bruce Pearl. I think it is all entirely possible.
Pastner may well be a diamond-in-the-rough, but it seems too risky. Tennessee can ill afford another Buzz Peterson/Wade Houston-like hire. I remember all too well when Don DeVoe was foolishly canned. It wasn't pretty.
Pastner would be a great hire, IMO. He can recruit as well as anyone in the country and would keep UT in the national picture. Donnie Tyndall might be a name you'll hear if Pearl is canned (or the NCAA cans him for the folks in Knoxville). They, too, might go after Missouri's Anderson (though that seems a bit sideways).
"You can learn little from victory. You can learn everything from defeat."
-- Christy Matthewson
"Show me a good loser and I'll show you an idiot."
-- Leo Durocher
Pastner has great recruiting ties and is doing the opposite of Calipari in Memphis in that he is keeping the local kids in-state. He landed Will Barton when Barton was all but a lock for UK and has assembled a pipeline of talent that will compete in C-USA. Tennessee needs someone who can bring in-state talent to Knoxville and Pastner fits the bill.
Tyndall is a reach, although I think he is gone. Rumor has it Bradley is looking at him. If Tyndall does leave Morehead St I would love to see Kelly Wells get the job. He's done pretty good at Pikeville.
The only job I see Mike Anderson leaving Missouri for is Arkansas if it comes open.
Tennessee the 2nd best SEC job? Sorry, gotta disagree there.
If we're speaking in terms of fan support, that would be Arkansas. Monetarily, it would be Florida.
I heard your record..it's alright.

Everything just sounds too much "in-your-face" and closed-in from the headphone port especially (I'm missing more around/out of head kind of experience), the line-out is better in this regard but it feels a bit waste of cash to not utilize the headphone amp even if the dac alone is of very high quality too. The same could be said about games, I didn't get that sense of deep soundstage where I could tell enemies are far into the background that I can with onboard (when using 5.1 speakers).

"Roger Nasty Butler!"
Does anybody know when the next wave of figures is supposed to show up? All I can find now is Gandalf the White and Eomer.
Powdered Toast Man!
It's official! The new Gollum figure from Toy Biz that will be released in the 4th wave is going to be a bendy figure, not a hidden-joint figure like the Horse riders. I just hope its a well done bendy figure somewhat like the fingers on the Marvel Legends Thing.
Powdered Toast Man!
Cool! I didn't want him standing up like he is in the pictures. I want some FotR hunching going on! And so long as it is decent, a bendy figure should be able to do just that.
Starcruiser... crash!
i just got sauron, after passing on him about a month ago. i didn't pass because he isn't kewl though. actualy he's awesome!!! possibly one of the best figures made, equal with toy-biz's marvel legends.
and the voice, man is it ever loud. usually, electronic figures are pretty lame, but not sauron.
i'm disapointed borimer is being re-released. i'm no fan of resculpts, but this character needs to be re-done. i don't like the horn blowing gimmick and the articulation on him stinks.
i really wish merry and pippin weren't in the twin packs, because i really don't want to have to buy them again.
toy biz rules the 6 inch market. these are so cool.
Rock the Casbah!!!!
Gollum gonna be a bendy fig!!! Woohooo!!! These figures rock...and my friends wonder why i check the LOTR figures first before i hit the SW figures.
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
Xizor, I found this in an early post about the release dates of figures, hope this helps, cause it's what i'm going on!!
Aragorn in Helm's Deep Armor
Frodo with Light-up sting
Prologue Elf
Twi-Light Ringwraith
Legolas Helms Deep
Series 4 is set to come out next July, and has:
Sam in Mordor
Twi-light Frodo
Theoden in Armor
Gimli from 2-pack
Boromir from 2-pack
And series 5, set to come out in February
Beserker Uruk-Hai
Ringwraith from Horse and Rider Set

"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
I saw Sauron at TRU today (But didn't purchase it)...I know I am collecting SW stuff but the LOTRs figures are terribly, terribly tempting...Especially the Twilight Ringwraith...
"Ohnomyfriendthisisamistakeaterriblemistaketheyhav egonetoofarthisismadness!" -Count Dooku, AOTC
i just got the Ringwraith/Horse set today. very, very nice! though i was wondering how the single packaged aragorn compares with the one from the horse rider set?
Red 6 or Bust - 2005 SSG Fantasy Football Champion
bith tannen - 2006 SSG Fantasy Football Champion
red 6 - 2008 SSG Fantasy Football Champion
The single Aragorn looks like hes homeless. My brother gave him to me and he looks real scurvy and hes got an ugly facial expression on his face. With a face like that he would fit right in with the Cash Money Millionaires cause they made them same ugly faces (for those not familiar with the CMM just picture some rappers looking as if they just smelled something funky) on their wack cd covers. So in short i do think that the Aragorn w/horse would be better. Hey does anybody else notice that some LOTR figures are pigeon -toed sometimes? My rohirrim soldier looks like he has to take a leak.

I need some US terminology help on gun dog terms... I know the terms in Swedish and partly in (Brittish) English, but would appreciate if someone could help me with the US ones. What I write below is how I define it and what I would call it, please give input on what it is really called (or if you know anyone else I could contact). You don't need to answer all the questions, I appreciate every help I can get (yes, I've read the FAQ and the GOT and googled, but I still have some questions)
marked retrieve - dog sees the bird land and fetches it on command. What cue do you use? Dogs name? Fetch?
directional retrieve - dog doesn't know where the bird/dummy is and is directed there by the handler. Is it called directional retrieve, or directional retrieval? What cue do you use? "get out"?
casting - same as directional retrieve? for casting left/right, what cue do you use? (hand signal and verbal cue "left"/"right"?)
stop whistle - (or stop cue, stop signal?) dog stops, sitting or standing, and looks at the handler. What type of whistle signal do you use? (I use one short one)
recall whistle - calling the dog to you by whistle instead of using a verbal command. What type of whistle signal do you use? (I use several short ones)
enclosed search / holding a piece of ground - not sure at all of this term, but it means that dog dog searches a very small area/stays in that small area to hunt. What would you call the cue to get that behaviour started? close search cue? hunt whistle? (for me, I direct the dog to the area, blow my stop whistle and then my hunt whistle to tell the dog to start hunting. My hunt whistle is a rolling whistle, something like "duduu duduuu"). I've also heard the term "high lost"
search / finding and retrieveing / hunting an area - I send the dog out to find a bird or dummy that neither I nor the dog is exactly sure of where it is, just that it is somewhere in the area. What cue would you use? "go find"/"search"?
water work / water training - doing all of the above in water

The Copenhagen Accord/Cancún Agreements Emission Pledges For 2020: Exploring Economic And Environmental Impacts
Many countries have pledged targets or actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; these have been listed in the Appendices to the Copenhagen Accord and, at the time of writing, are being transferred to the UNFCCC Cancún Agreements. This analysis examines the costs and effectiveness of these pledges, as well as the potential for fiscal revenue, using a computable general equilibrium model. The results show that while the pledges are an important and welcome start to a global solution, they are not ambitious enough for a pathway to limit average global temperature increase to below 2°C. This paper estimates the costs of action at around 0.3% of GDP for both Annex I and non-Annex I countries and 0.5–0.6% of global real income. Furthermore, the fiscal revenue potential can exceed 1% of GDP for the Annex I countries if market-based instruments are used. Sensitivity analysis shows that allowing more offsets can reduce the costs of actions substantially, as can direct linking of carbon markets across Annex I countries.

The Onsted Alumni Association is looking for donations of old Onsted yearbooks to sell and to benefit the district's current yearbook program.
Organizers are asking people who no longer want their Onsted annuals to donate them to the school. The books will in turn be sold for $20 to those who have lost theirs due to fire, divorce, or other events that caused loss. The money raised from the sale of each book will benefit the Onsted yearbook program, which is unable to make money due to the high cost of printing yearbooks while making them affordable to students.
To donate a yearbook or for more information, call Karen Pelham at 467-7504 or email Ronda Papenhagen at email@example.com.
