The Patriots didn't do much of anything in the opening quarter on Sunday against the Dolphins, and it wasn't until Stevan Ridley entered the game five minutes into the second quarter that the Patriots began moving the football.
He carried the football on five of their 13 plays during their first scoring drive, which ended in a 34-yard field goal to cut the Dolphins' lead to 14-3. He picked up 23 yards on that possession along with two first downs.

The big story seemed to be the fact that Ridley didn't start the game and joined rookie defensive back Logan Ryan on the sideline during the opening quarter. Some speculated that it was due to their touchdown celebrations last week against the Jets, but it was hard not to notice the difference he made when he finally stepped into New England's offense.
Overall he finished the day with 14 carries for 79 yards, his third highest total this season and the most he's had since their week six match-up against the Saints where he carried the ball 20 times for 96 yards. On Sunday he also scored a key 3-yard fourth quarter touchdown that finished off New England's 24-0 second half scoring run that basically put the game out of reach and helped drop the Dolphins below .500 at 3-4, while the Patriots improved to 6-2 on the year.
"Our offensive line was giving some push," Ridley told reporters after the game. "The holes were a little bit tight at first and I think as the game progressed, the offensive line, we really started leaning on them and some creases were in there."
In the second half he started slicing through the holes of Miami's defense, carrying 9 times for 56 yards, averaging 6.2 yards per carry while helping provide a little balance to New England's offense. However, where the Patritos really grabbed the momentum was following a missed 46 yard field goal by Dolphins kicker Caleb Sturgis during the third quarter. On New England's first play from scrimmage on their ensuing drive, Ridley ripped off a 23 yard run up the middle, which was his longest rush of the season. That put them in Dolphins territory at Miami's 41 yard line and two plays later, Brady hit Rob Gronkowski for a 23 yard pass down the middle of the field to put them down inside Miami's 18. He then followed that up with a 14-yard touchdown pass to rookie receiver Aaron Dobson, which at the time cut Miami's lead to 17-10 and woke up the fans at Gillette Stadium that had previously booed them off the field at the half.
When asked if that run helped get things started, Ridley didn't deny it.
"I would be lying if I said I didn't," said Ridley. "It's a spark that came from it and I think that was just the boulder that our offensive line had to push and roll over. And once we got that big run going, it helped our offense to come in there and set up the pass. "
Overall it worked out well, with the Patriots piling up 111 yards on the ground in the second half on Sunday, with Ridley accounting for 56 of them. It would have been better if they had been able to play a complete game offensively, but in the end, Ridley says they'll take the win.
"You definitely got to play four quarters in this league," said Ridley. "You know there are always tough games. We're always playing against great competition, so mental toughness goes a long way, especially a division game that counts a lot in the divisional standings and stuff like that, so we had a big week of preparation here.
"I think we did a great job of coming in and understanding the concepts of how we wanted to play these guys and the first half [we] didn't play like we should have and the second half we played how we wanted to play for the whole game, so we'll take it."

- - Mini filly kicking and other behaviour issues
Mini filly kicking and other behaviour issues I have a 2 year old mini filly with a kicking problem. She also seems to have some other issues as well. A bit on her history. She was given to me about two months ago. The previous owner had bought her for her daughter as a foal when she was about 4 months old. As far as I know, she has spent the last 1.5 years tied to a stake in a backyard. No pasture. No barn either. They claimed she was put into their garage most nights but I have my doubts as it seems she has not been handled very much. She was a little underfed and had some evidence of what looked like rain rot but its been cleared up and her coat is growing back. Her feet were decent but in need of a trim and now thats shes been here for a few months she is looking pretty good. I have a mini stallion as well and they've warmed up to each other after a couple of weeks. At first she was not very nice to him. She would try to kick him through the fence for even coming near her, while at the same time throwing out all the signs of being in heat. After a few weeks of keeping them apart I've let them be together and she has finally calmed down with him, although sometimes she randomly kicks him for no reason. He's been taking it all in stride. He is still very well behaved and despite having a female in heat around there hasn't been any noticeable change in his behaviour. I'm more concerned with how she has been behaving towards me. When she sees me she comes running. She likes being around me and will follow me everywhere. However, she does not like to be touched in any way. Even while grooming, she will shake her head, whinny, pull away and try to turn around so she can kick me. Sometimes she is OK with it but a minute later she is squealing and trying to line her legs up so she can kick me. Tonight as I was feeding her I passed by while bringing hay. I brushed against her side and she booted me square in the calf leaving me with a limp and a massive bruise. She knew I was there, I always make sure they know I'm around. I need some advise on how to break her of this behaviour. At this point, working with her is starting to become dangerous as she lashes out for no reason that I can see. I won't let my wife go near her as she is just too unpredictable. |
Sorry can't advise on the kicking, but why are you keeping a two-year old filly with a stallion? Most likely she is pregnant at this time... and hardly more than a baby herself :( |
^^That was my question. :-( She is obviously spoiled, as only a mini can be. They are tough little buggers. I can only tell you what my BO (who has rehabbed several) does.....she does groundwork with them just as she does her regular horses, and kicking and bad behavior are treated just like a regular horse. THey need to think their little world is ending for about 3 seconds. They do take a LOT of patience tho', so good luck! |
She sounds spoiled and needs rules. The problem is that as others have said pregnancy is likely. A baby could make her really protective/aggressive to handle. |
:shock::shock: Please get her away from the stallion, geld him and have her pregnancy check and/or lute her. Pregnancy can account for major behavior changes. She needs a firm hand, and to not get away with anything. |
It is unfortunate that you felt you had to put a mare with behavioral issues in with a stallion, as this could compound your problem. Also, do you know if she has any genetic issues? How about the stallion? Are you set up to handle a foal? Is there a possibility that the foal could be born a dwarf? Is there a reason why you put them together? Is she breed worthy? Is the stallion and the mare going to pass great genetics? Please, get her tested and take her out of the stallions enclosure until you can properly work with her on a consistent basis, start with the basics, letting you touch her, brush and comb out her mane and tail. Basics like picking her hooves up, tie to a patience pole, being led, things like that. If she goes to kick you or bite you, I have slapped my horse good and hard with an open hand in the neck or chest. Same with biting, two things I personally will not tolerate. |
Grey-there IS a fence between them, Op stated that in the original post, so they are not in the same enclosure at least, but that does not stop a determined stud or a little hussy. Oh and kicking deserves more than a slap with an open hand. JMHO. That is pretty useless for dangerous behavior in many horses, altho there are a few that are scared of their own shadow enough for that to make some impact. |
Franknbeans, OP states they were separated and now are together... |
They were separated but now they are together after some supervised test sessions. Her heat is over and he has no interest in mating her since even bumping against her or getting too close to her rear gets him kicked. He figured that out pretty quick. |
Unless you are watching them 24/7 you have no clue if they bred or not while together or through the fence. Please, PLEASE to the responsible thing and separate them and have her pregnancy checked. Unless you are actually wanting them to breed?... Then I'm not even touching that can of worms. |

Penny Stock Picks Penny Stock Reports When to Buy PennyStocks
Trade like a Spartan Warrior...
Profit like an Egyptian King
Spartan Warrior's are known for being strong, aggressive and mentally tough. Trained from infants they focus with unwavering discipline on defeating their opponents.
And like Wall Street Traders, the strongest constantly search for the MOST PROFITABLE INVESTMENTS which could provide higher returns than their piers.
The most successful of them are growing stacks of money to save and re-invest. Just don't forget that every minute an investment is not in your portfolio is a minute it is not producing profits for you..
So let's face it. In order to make terrific profits in the penny stock market - if you're not an experienced and well trained warrior - is to be introduced to stocks are positioned to produce above average returns.
And that's precisely what we do. Introduce our members to stocks poised to deliver above average returns so that you can profit like a King.
That's right... discovering the most profitable positions and knowing which undiscovered stocks are poised to generate massive investor awareness and generate large amounts of money flow into a specific stock.
Your Profit Begins Here
Our goal is simple. Recommend the top penny stocks that are ready to explode. And by the time other traders have caught on, you'll have already pocketed 20%...40%...even over 100%!
One of the most common ways we achieve this is by constantly communicating with thousands of traders and investors that do endless hours of research... and reveal a potential winner that could break the bank.
Of course, with the returns being so high, the risks can be equally heavy. However, we follow a time-tested set of research steps to help ensure the downside risk is minimal - and upside potential is positioned to generate enormous returns.
So if you're seriously interested in alerts of stocks that could create the wealth you desire, don't delay... sign up today.
Because this site may not be free forever...
How Stocks Get Positioned for
I believe the three most common setups for explosive stock opportunities are:
- When a stock has a very small float! Quite simply, stocks with ultra small floats can become 10 and 20 baggers because they have the ability to move upwards with far less resistance and volume than stocks with higher floats. That doesn't mean they cannot move down... however, I believe that those "low floating" stocks that begin releasing ue related revennews can be so explosive they could be irresistible!]
- When a stock is trading at a base and/or ready to bounce! There are several specific commonalities that I've witnessed that are precedents to many of these explosive stocks. One of the most common are those that are either trading at a base and are ready for a bounce. In fact, many savvy traders track the resistance and support levels and play between the "channel" and make thousands on just one single stock play!
- Blockbuster news releases! When a company is releasing news, it's an indication that they're on the move. So, when I see the first two criteria combined with the potential for blockbuster news then the likelihood that I've got a big winner on my hands could increase ten-fold. These are the "story stocks" that could generate massive investor attention!
My Most Profitable One Week Pick
...A Staggering Increase of 650%!
That's right. 650% was the maximum possible gain on this stock when I brought it to my members. And it exploded within a matter of days, netting many investors a terrific profit!
The Company, a Nevada Corporation, is a holding company that was alerted to my by a very successful colleague. It was profiled as it quietly traded at a base at the perfect time for a quick yet EXPLOSIVE RUN!
Keep in mind that the price of the stock was introduced at $.002. At this low price the profit potential was vey high. This is one reason I don't shy away from low priced stocks.
This is also another reason why traders sign up for my newsletter!
Making Millions in "Sector Trading"
Stocks that trade within the top performing sectors have tremendous short and long-term opportunities. Perhaps that is why so many successful traders and fund managers are proponents of this strategy. By highlighting the profit potential within today's "hot sectors" and the companies that operate within them could leverage investment dollars into increased profits.
Targeting companies that can commercialize proprietary, one-of-a-kind, first-to-market products and services can be lucrative. This approach allows us to increase the profit potential since the market penetration could be enhanced.
Please add your email to our mailing list and be among the first to hear about big developments from uptrending stocks that we believe have short and long term investment appeal!
Get Ground Floor Stock Picks -> FIRST!
One of the skills that many traders have become experts on is scanning for ground floor opportunities. And there are several instances when
Often times, these ground floor opportunities present themselves when a stock is trading at a base. Or perhaps, it is a new issue.
However, one popular ground floor opportunity is when a stock has recently reversed... and is trading at a base. Many traders clearly understand why this could become a lucrative situation.
Let me explain. A reverse stock split reduces the number of shares that is out in the marketplace. The result is that it typically wipes out most current investors positions... and if there are very small positions the stock could be wide open for major Bull Run.
In fact, this opportunity could be so lucrative that there are websites that report exclusively on companies that do a reverse.
But ground floor opportunities could be present when a stock simply hits rock bottom for any number of reasons. The trick is identifying the reason why it dropped. However, there must be enough justification for it to increase or you could be chasing a "dead cat bounce."
Penny Stocks are Making Traders Filthy Rich!
The reality of many situations is that traders eventually develop their own "pass/fail" criteria as to whether to enter a stock. But did you know that some traders become so familiar with a stock that they make thousands trading on the bounces and dips? This is called "channeling" and has proven to be very profitable! So don't be surprised if a stock is recommended more than once!

Just got informed I'll be PCSing to Hurlburt with a RNLTD of 30 November. Trying to find fellow gun enthusiasts in the area for some intel on good gun shops, ranges, hunting info, etc.
Sorry for the invasion of the AF forum by retired Navy but thought that I could help. I live in the Pensacola area and am familiar with the area in question. Some really great hunting is on Eglin AFB. They have closed some area's of the base in the last several years but there is still a bunch(couple hundred thousand acres)that is open to hunt. You can obtain a license from Jackson Guard for $20. This will allow you to hunt everything in the base. You will have to obtain a state license also but being active mil it will only cost you another $20. Be sure to ask for the Military Gold license. I hunt Eglin every year so PM me and I will be glad to elaborate on where to go inside Eglin. I primarily hunt hogs but have ran across some mighty nice deer in my trips around the base. There are several gunshops in the area however one of them is strictly MSRP or better. I go in there every now and then just to look. The staff is knowledgeable and they have a bunch of the black guns,ammo,and some milsurp stuff. I look,feel,then buy somewhere else. I will be happy to give you the name in a PM. Good luck with your PCS move. I did it a bunch of times in my 22 years.
What will you be doing at Hurlbert? Say hellow to the ROMAD studs while you are there. Good base that was really starting to develop good support functions (BX, Commisary, etc.) when I was there last for training in 1992. Nice country but too flat for me. I need to see mountains to orient myself. And what they call trees there we call shrubs here. But have a good tour!
I'm going to be the Maintenance Ops Officer for the 1st Special Ops Helicopter Maintenance Squadron in October/November. I just heard that Eglin offer hunting on base so I was getting excited about it being so close. When I was stationed in GA, my old Chief kept wanting me to go hunt hogs with him, but it never worked out, although we hunted deer plenty! I'm looking forward to the move and getting back into SpecOps again. I haven't deployed in 2 years due to my present job and i'm ready to go. When it gets time to head that way, I'll definitely PM you and maybe we can meet up.
finz, if it's hogs on Eglin your after, I got quite a bit of expierance with that. Lemme know when you get here and I will point you in the right direction to get huntin',or maybe we can "outflank 'em. There are definately some area's of Eglin that are much better than others. ASAP after ariveing,a good pair of snake boots is mandentory. Best of luck with the PCS.
Funny.....friend's husband was denied a move to Eglin AFB...they told him no openings....he's commo.... Oh well...good luck, be safe!
Hawgs on Eglin. Boy, that brings back some harrowing memories. Nothing like hearing the freight train of a sow crashing through the palmettos to make you forget patrol tactics and scramble for what Florida laughingly passes off as trees. I remember one night the instructors took a radio call from a kid screaming into the radio that they "were eating (him)." He took some pokes in the legs too. They have some big ones out there, east of Duke. Congrats on the position. Support is the key to a HSLD unit, not the tip of the spear types.
Its been about 2.5 years ago....but on hurlburt theres a shooting club down the street from the catm range....it was right next to my old work. They have a 25 yard pistol range and a ~300 yard rifle range... theres a decent gun/pawn shop (big selection of guns) called Jimmy's off of Mary esther blvd, near 98....I bought my G30 there There's another class III gun shop in crestview with a big selection... There used to be a big gunshow at the fairgrounds like once a month, not sure if they still have them. If you dont have a ccw, and want one.....get it in Florida. I beleive a florida ccw is the best because it is the one where it has the most states where you can transfer it to. Talk to the guys at the hurlburt rifle/pistol club about it
Head to Jimmy's Pawn Shop on Eglin Boulevard....they have the Glock military/LEO discount and plenty of other guns to boot...the staff is also very friendly.
Biggest thing I used to hunt on Eglin was squirrels and rattlesnakes! Stationed at Hurlburt 1985-1989...only gun shop I remember that is still in business is Gulf Breeze firearms. They were just starting out back then, I bought my first Glock and an SKS from them. I was at the Louisville gun show a few months ago and ran into a dealer from the shop at one of the tables, seems they are "upscale" now, sellin Dakota rifles and such. Now, if you want any info on Kays Body Shop or the Green Frog, let me know....LOL
Sawman, thanks for the invite....I'll definitely take you up on it when I get there......already got the snake boots....3 yearsstationed at Moody will do that to ya!
.....I killed a Eastern Dimondback that hung off both sides of the tailgate of my truck.............on the 7th of Jan. Mornings are ok but when it warms up early afternoon they are in the sun and extremely cranky. This one struck at me when I was still 10-15 feet away. The plus for Eglin is the hogs take care of most of them. They will circle it,quickly grab it up and shake it like a boxer dog shakes and old sock. The snake is torn in half almost instantly. From what I hear,Gulf Breeze Firearms is out of buisness. Jimmy's is still on Eglin Blvd and DOES still give the LEO/Mil discount. Call Glock and they will tell you exactly what an authorized dealer should be charging you for a Glock on this program. That is what you will be charged at Jimmy's. (Glock will tell you Jimmy's is a authorized dealer) There is a place downtown Crestview that claims to be a LEO/Mil authorized dealer but is not. They will give you a small discount but you will still save $40-$70 at Jimmy's. If you want the name of the ripoff dealer,PM me and I will most gladly give it to you. They have a store in Pensacola that is also a MSRP and above store and they claim to be a LEO/Mil Glock dealer also. People have complained to Glock about these stores but I feel that they sell so many Glocks that Glock looks the other way. VERY SAD !! Best of luck on your PCS.
No kidding, I know a bunch of folks in the CV-22 side of the 1st SOHMS. I'm stationed at the Boeing factory in PA where they build the Osprey. I'll have to look you up the next time I get down to Hurlburt. Rob
I think they prefer to be called JTACs as ROMAD is, from what I understand from a friend who's a JTAC, is that a ROMAD is essentially a stepdown in the foodchain or what JTACs are called if they get decertified. What's really strange is that my friend ended up being the supervisor of one of the guys I both shipped to basic from San Diego with and was in the same flight with while there while these guys were stationed at Hickam AFB. When my friend took me to his squadron's headquarter's at Wheeler Army Airfield while on vacation in Hawaii I ran into the guy from BMT and said, "DUDE!, I know you!" He was as shocked as I was and even more so when my friend said he was the guy's supervisor. The AF sure is a small world.
THE BEST GUN SHOP IN THE AREA IS JIMMY'S GUN AND PAWN. (on eglin blvd.) they have cheap rates on guns, and a huge selection. they also have the glock discounts for military. 409 for a standard model--and up from there. they are great guys. i miss going in there and bs-ing all the time. DO NOT!!!!! DO NOT GO TO JAY'S. waaaaay to damn expensive and they are pricks. there is a shooting club on hurlbert that meets on saturdays. its pretty fun.
only NCOs are JTACs e-1 - e-4 are romads, RADIO Operater Maintainer And Driver. under most circumstances only NCOs can become JTACs. Joint Terminal Air Controller
I just moved to Eglin and am interested in hunting hogs too... Would you guy's with a little experience be willing to impart some wizdom to me??? I know you can go on post, but have no clue as to where. I have a roommate who is dying to do a little hunting too!!!
I think the place you are referring to is (removed for discretion saw the above pm message in the quote) right in the center of Crestview. I peaked in there once and that was IT. I bought my G23 from Jimmy's Pawn like everyone else has mentioned. The were friendly and I got the discount no questions asked. I recommend them hightly. They even used to have a Barrett M82 with the CQB length barrel. LOL I can't believe they even call it a CQB Barrett. God I love shooting those things though. While I was at Eglin I always meant to go hog hunting and I saw them very frequently while running around on the range. At times I wish they'd at least have let me pack a M9 on my hip while I was doing ordnance sweeping. I surprised way too many sleeping hog families while carrying an ordnance detector and a shovel. Just mind where you step while out there I had to respond out to hunting areas about 10 times over my four years for unexploded ordnance. Hell, sometimes I'd even fine two or three on the way to the one that was called in. Nothing like killing multiple birds with one boom. In order to get your pass you'll have to watch a UXO video and you'll get a map telling you where you'll be more likely to run into one. Lucky for you the houses in the area got way cheaper than when I was there. I couldn't touch a house for $150k when I was there. Now those are selling for about $30K less at least.
pisc1024, I have quite a bit of expierance hunting on Eglin. I will try to help as much as possible. There are plenty of hogs(and deer) to go around. What are your questions ??

Kim Dotcom and the other MegaUpload defendants may have to wait until Wednesday to find out if they can be released on bail.
District Court Judge David McNaughton has reserved his decision until tomorrow or possibly Wednesday. Until then, the defendants will remain in custody at Mount Eden remand center in Albany, New Zealand.
Kim Dotcom, founder of the file-sharing site MegaUpload, appeared at North Shore District Court this morning for a bail hearing along with three other men involved in the case.
Dotcom, along with MegaUpload chief marketing officer Finn Batato; Mathias Ortmann, chief technical officer; and Bram van der Kolk, programmer; were arrested on Friday by New Zealand Police who executed provisional arrest warrants requested by the United States Department of Justice.
All four defendants are expected to apply for bail pending an extradition hearing. Lawyers representing the U.S. government have opposed bail for all four defendants.
The Crown earlier opposed bail for alleged pirate Kim Dotcom, who appeared Monday in the North Shore District Court facing charges of copyright infringement, and faces possible extradition to the U.S.
Crown Prosecutor Anne Toohey said if extradited, Dotcom could face five to 20 years in prison, and the U.S. government has expressed that it will seek the maximum penalty.
The Crown claims Dotcom poses a significant flight risk because of the funds that are available to him.
Dotcom's own lawyer, Paul Davison QC, said his client's funds have all been seized and has offered to the court a previously undiscovered Rabo bank account as a show of good faith.
This story, "MegaUpload Bail Decision Delayed" was originally published by Computerworld New Zealand.

KOffice 2.2 is HereThe KOffice team is very happy to announce the arrival of KOffice 2.2.0, half a year after version 2.1 was released. This release brings an unprecedented number of new features and bugfixes as can be seen in the full list of changes. There are two reasons for this very high development rate. Firstly, people have started to notice KOffice again and the developer community is growing. Secondly, Nokia is sponsoring development of KOffice for their mobile office viewer. Here follows a list of the most important changes in this release. Highlights of KOffice 2.2Kexi returns in KOffice 2.2 Kexi is BackThe big news for this release is that Kexi, the data management application, is back. Kexi was last released in KOffice 1.6 so the new version has seen over 3 years of developement. Kexi has received a complete overhaul of the user interface and should be ready for production work. Major EnhancementsThere are many larger and smaller improvements in KOffice 2.2. The biggest enhancement that is available in all applications is a new framework for effects on shapes. Right now there are eleven effects and more will follow in future releases. New Import Filters for MS OOXML FormatsKOffice has received new import filters for the Microsoft XML based office formats that are used in MS Office 2007 and later. The filters are still pretty basic, but definitely usable for real documents. At this time there are no plans to implement export filters for these file formats. Improvements in the applicationsAll the applications of KOffice gained major new features and lots of bugfixes. In total there have been over 4500 commits during the last 6 months. The list of changes is too big to include here, but curious readers can find the full details in the changelog. Suitability for UseThis release should be much more stable and full-featured than 2.1. KOffice 2.2 has received many enhancements to the layout engine, the libraries and the filters. There are still areas in the user interface that we want to work on before stating that KOffice 2 is ready for the general public. We are, however, at a stage where we think that KOffice can be used for real work. CommentsWow!That sounds pretty good! Looks like Koffice will be soon able to replace OOo. I hope there soon will be Kubuntu-Packages :-) About: Could you specify what a user would miss in functionality? Or in sense of document format compatibility?

reviews?I'm hoping to see some reviews of people finding out what they like and dislike. I'd be biased (as the maintainer of KWord) in saying that so much has improved its very usable in itself and one by one the major features are getting attention. KOffice (and KWord specifically) is based on plugins a lot and I am hoping to get more developers helping out fixing bugs in those plugins as those are much smaller to learn and re-compile. Exciting times :)

wrong download locationsThe release announcement gives the download URL as http://download.kde.org/download.php?url=unstable/koffice-2.2.0/koffice-... instead of http://download.kde.org/download.php?url=stable/koffice-2.2.0/koffice-2.... chepati

that list of changes...that list of changes linked from the article is absurdly long.. and it does not even include krita's changes. i'm stunned by the amount of work that has gone into this release. understanding that this might be because nokia is sponsoring makes me really smile at opensource as way to collaborate. thank you nokia, thanks for thinking out of the box.

Thanks for all the hard work!Every time that a new KOffice comes around, I give it a try. It's always far faster than any other office suite, but it usually has a few niggling glitches that force me back to OpenOffice. Since I don't like OpenOffice even vaguely, I keep checking KOffice every chance I get. It's building right now. Hopefully this one's the one and I can do my happy dance. Either way, I'll probably be sending you some bug-reports in the following week.

Extensively Testing a Single Use-CaseWell, I went through and did a use-case test for KWord, doing something I have done several times that uses many word-processor features. As I went, I wrote down the details of every problem I encountered and also took a few screenshots. So, I've got some PNGs and a longish document on those niggling glitches, as well as a few rather serious errors. Is there somewhere in particular I could send that so that you could use it? (Also, I'll get to posting the bugs in another day or two. It was kinda a trade-off between writing out things as I did them and putting out bug-reports as I went. Doing both would have been... bleh.) ((Furthermore, I want to say that although there were plenty of things for me to pick on, I was impressed overall. It still fell short of where I could use it full-time because there were problems when it was handling an especially large document, but it was vastly improved over the last time I tried it out.))

I hope KWord 2.2 will replace KWord 1.6I'm using KWord 1.6 every day. I hope this realease can let me replace KWord 1.6 with KWord 2.2 and that it let me continue to work on my ODT documents as well. For the Italian readers I made a translation of the article here: http://kde-it.org/2010/05/30/rilasciato-koffice-2-2/

Windows-installerWhen this release has stabilized, I think a windows-installer file would increase the use of KOffice.

OSX PackagingIs there a decent source for binary packages or even up to date compile instructions for OSX? Fink and MacPorts both appear to be terribly out of date. I ask having just bought a brand new MacBook Pro, and reading in the changes that they are making sure it works on OSX. Which is great, but I'm an utter novice in OSX (and the new hardware isn't supported by Linux yet; don't disagree, it will be, but isn't yet). I have been using KDE since 1998, but I can't find any obvious links or support points for my new OS. mac.kde.org seems woefully out of date given the developer-side assertions of support and hard effort to make it work. It seems that the developers are putting in the time to make sure it works, but a working solution is not getting through to end users. I can't even find up to date manual build instructions. Is there some hidden world of KDE/KOffice on OSX community that I'm unaware of? If so, linking more prominently to it would make sense. If it doesn't exist, a plea for help and publicly stated honest assessment of the situation would be a good idea (and might garner support!). KDE releases source, which is fine by me. But right now there are vague rumors and dead-end links of compiled OSX packages or out-of-date solutions like Fink and MacPorts. It would be much easier on end-users if it were clearly acknowledged that a manual compile is your only option. Or, if there are up to date packages, the various official KDE-on-OSX sites pointed to those options. Note that I am not insulting anybody or demanding anything. I'm just pointing out that there's an abandoned segment of the KDE project (end-user web documentation for current KDE/KOffice on OSX) that probably should be corrected. Or at least have a "Help Wanted, Apply Here" link stuck to it for people who might be able to contribute. Most KDE sites went through a wonderful overhaul recently, but this particular little audience went ignored. The ONLY reason I'm posting it here is due to an honest ignorance of where else to draw attention to the problem (it's not exactly a bug, eh?) In short, the developers are putting in the work, but their effort isn't percolating down to users out of the active developer loop, and all documentation on official sites and linked projects (like Fink and MacPorts) are out of date.

Stuff what bugs me :-(I need to share lots of very basic text documents between multiple users. I would like to use KOffice but I am forced not to use it at all, but OpenOffice.org as others. Why so? Because the basic text functions like the document properties of the page size and margins does not stay correctly. With But if I set document size as A4 (210x297mm) with 2cm margins (20mm) and then I use same font (size, type etc) in both, OOo and KOffice 2.2. I get different results. Then if I type longer text, the OOo gives about 2-9 letters more space than KOffice. Is there any dirty hacks or tricks how to avoid such things? We would like to use liberation sans font as 10pt. But same time we use lots of normal fonts as well, same size, document properties etc. But we end up to different format. Even when saving document and opening with another application and vice versa. Shouldn't the ODF be answer even for this kind basic stuff that there would be no differences and sharing documents would be possible without structure being changed depending application and it version? What I (we) am (are) doing wrong? I have fighted so long time now to get good basic functions for sharing text documents. And as far I know, the only answer for that has be txt format!

I'm very proud of this costume. I made the patterns myself. I wanted to make it look exactly as the original, so I turned inside out the navy blue lining as Hakuren has. This outfit is based on the anime version because in the manga it looks a little bit different. I have to say that I love the wig

It's been wicked cold around here. Warmer temps arrived this week along with a healthy dump of snow . . .
. . . so when Little has wanted to do a little riding, indoors seemed like a good option.
Doesn't seem to slow him down much.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Health
- - Arthritis? Should I worry?
Arthritis? Should I worry? Hey guys. Haven't been updating ya'll as much as I should but I have a question. I plan on showing my big boy Ben in pre-entry eventing this year. Ben is 17 years old an 14.3 hh. He's a Fjord cross so he's a bit on the bulkier side. The pre-entry show jumping jumps are generally 2'6" I was worrying about arthritis and if I should still show him. How do you know if your horse has it? Ben has been kinda grumpy lately and he does't want to bend to the left like at all. Is that normal in arthritis or could he be going through a phase of smartassness. Also I hear his hind legs clicking sometimes. We'll be walking and I can hear the joints (probably fetlocks) clicking, is that bad? |
288 Attachment(s) Rule out 'smartassness', but need much more info to even begin to guess at the prob. Eg. is it only under saddle he's grumpy & not wanting to bend one way? |
no. its all the time really. when lunging as well. i know 100% that its not the saddle fit because he jsut started this a week or so ago. i've been using this saddle for 2-3 years and we've never had problems with it. what other information do you need? Is there a good chance he's getting arthritis, because he is 17. Should I be showing this year if he has arthritis? |
288 Attachment(s) Quote:
Just because he's 17yo(middle aged) doesn't mean he's just going to get arthritis. It's a 'disease' meaning it happens because of problems; joint stress, infection, nutrition, for eg. Not just something that a horse will get at x age. If he's lame, regardless of whether it's arthritis I would be very hesitant to ride him, without finding out what's wrong at least - if in doubt, get the vet. If it's something like arthritis tho, *if* he's not too bad & you're a good, light rider it may be OK, because *generally* lots of light, low impact exercise is good. If whatever showing you're considering fits that bill, then fine. If you mean jumping, dressage, etc, etc, then he's probably not the best prospect, at least until his lameness is treated, if that's possible. |
TBH from your description I would not be suspecting Arthritis or behavioral but there are so many things that could cause this behavior, Muscular pain, low grade lameness or something in the Mouth/Teeth spring to mind. As for Arthritis, this would need to be confirmed by Xray, although a lot of Vets will sadly diagnose from symptoms. My sisters Horse has it in both Hocks, he is on Glucosamine and needs twice as long warming up but is happy and jumping at a decent level still so it shouldn't necessarily slow you down too much :). |
I don't know enough to be able to help you diagnose arthritis but I will say that my horse has had arthritis since before we got him when he was 20 years old (he's 30 now). He has clicking in his back end but it hasn't slowed him down one bit. I showed him for the first 6 or so years that I had him and we had a lot of fun. I didn't do anything outrageous with him though. I do have a funny story to share with you about it though.. At our 4-H barn we had a "Horsin' Around Family Fun Day" competition every year in the fall. We always had shoes put on Scooter as he had tender feet and often times where we went to shows there were rocks in the arenas that bothered him. So, the day or two before the fun day he had his shoes pulled and he was always a bit tender after it, but the arena had no rocks so normally he would be fine. Well, I was riding my new horse and my dad was going to ride Scooter. He was about 26 at this time I'd say. Well, I put the saddle on him and all was fine except he was a bit agitated acting. My dad went to get on and Scooter started to collapse. We were all horrified wondering what happened so I checked the saddle and everything and all looked fine so I re-did it and tried to get on and he did it again to me! We were all shocked and scared that something was going wrong because he was grunting and everything so we unsaddled him and decided to put him out in the pasture. He limped and grunted all the way back to the gate. At the gate we let him go as we were going to check him after the games and as soon as we let him go he took of at a full out run and was bucking and having a good old time. He just wanted to eat grass. Stinker! He was perfectly fine :lol: |
I would get her teeth checked as they can stop a horse from bending and turning if somthing is wrong, and then I would get a good chiropractor to do a treatment. If the horse is out some where it can cause lameness and stop turns and bending too. Sorry im not very good at explaining it but ive seen my chiro do miracles. |
I would get a full exam from an equine vet (someone who can take x-rays). He might or might not have arthritis, but I agree with the others. The bending problem sounds like something else, and I wouldn't do anything strenuous until he's been evaluated. Keep us updated. |
My 11 year old has mild arthritis in the hocks. He gets a joint supplement everyday in his feed and he is on pasture 24/7. If he seems sore he gets cold hosed for 15mins. He does reqire loonger warming up and cooling down but he is still actively jumping in the 4 " class with no problems. If it is arthritis however you must remember it is a progressive disease. |
Yep. my boy is on pasture 24/7, never been in a stall in his life. he gets 3/4 of a medium sized scoop of complete feed everyday {our scoop broke so we use a can from Tim Hortons.} I have chilled out on his workouts a bit, jsut lunged him lightly in side reins and he seems calmer and less cranky. maybe he was jsut tired of the workload. I'd been stressing about the show and working him pretty hard. |

Florida Regulations:
NOAA Announces New Regulations for King and Spanish Mackerel in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Region
Gear Requirements:
State Waters Harvest Seasons
Habitat and Fishing Tips:
King mackerel are found in both nearshore and offshore waters throughout Florida, often near schools of baitfish. Like many of the pelagic species, kings prefer water temperatures above 68 degrees, so they migrate to warmer waters in the fall of the year. Kings feed primarily on schooling bait fish and squid and are commonly caught while trolling with flashy spoons or duster rigged with a whole cigar minnow. Free lining or slow trolling with live baits (cigar minnows, herring, sardines, blue runners) is a great way to hook the larger and more solitary kings. Free lining a live squid at night, especially over reefs that hold baitfish, can also be very effective. Tackle requirements depend on the size of fish and the method of fishing. Spinning or bait-casting tackle with 20 to 30 pound monofilament line is sufficient when free lining live baits as long as you have enough spool capacity for the initial run after hookup. While kingfish do not have great endurance, they are very fast and will commonly take 100 to 200 yards of line off the reel in the first 30 seconds of the fight. For trolling, 30 to 50 pound trolling tackle is commonly used. Kings have very sharp teeth requiring the use of wire or very heavy monofilament leader.

Los Angeles Times
There's one second of sound on John Legend's new album, "Love in the Future," that sums up his current artistic mission.
It's on the delicate, gloomy track "Asylum," and the sound is a snare drum. Or rather a blast of raw, percussive white noise that punctuates his future-soul tale of a love "where we both go crazy."
"We were leaning toward progressive, cool samples with space and minimalism," Legend said. "How do you refresh a genre that's so traditional and classic?"
Although he is indebted to Sam Cooke's pristine phrasing and piano ballads, his "Love in the Future," coming out Tuesday, sounds remarkably modern. Almost a decade after his 2004 debut, "Get Lifted," made him a pop star and put him at the vanguard of adult R&B, Legend (born John Roger Stephens) is figuring out how an old genre relates to new ideas about love.
Five years after his last album of original material (his 2010 collaboration with the Roots, "Wake Up!," was a collection of '60s and '70s covers), Legend is asking what constitutes soul music in a time when technology can connect us in undreamed of ways but also distract us from real emotion.
"That's part of what we were trying to answer with this album," he said of his fourth solo album. "What's the place for soul in 2013? This album is our answer."
From the back porch of his Hollywood Hills home, Legend has a wide view of Cahuenga Pass. His bulldog Puddy scampers around his feet as Legend talks about his new album. He looks relaxed, because he took his time making this one.
"Love in the Future" was supposed to come sooner. After a successful run with the U.K. combo Sade, Legend had booked a high-profile fall 2012 arena tour, tied to his long-expected follow-up to 2008's "Evolver." But he scrapped it to finish work on the record, which tacked on an additional year's wait for a new album of original material.
It was a rare crack in the armor for the consummately professional 34-year-old singer (and former management consultant).
"I had to choose the lesser of two evils," he said. "I hated the idea of letting fans down. But I'm defined by the quality of the experience, on record and in performances. I wanted to go out with new music, but I couldn't go out without my best."
But if it took an extra year to get right, it shows in the record. "Love in the Future" can be read as a kind of distant cousin of Kanye West's "Yeezus," and not only because West (a longtime Legend collaborator) co-executive produced the album with fellow Legend-vet Dave Tozer. If the wildly experimental, angry "Yeezus" is pure id and ego, "Love in the Future" is the grown-up superego tamping that raw emotion down while trying to make sense of it.
"Who Do We Think We Are" has some of '70s soul staple Donny Hathaway's incandescent glow, but it's ringed in a psychedelic digital fog, and it wraps up with a cameo from rapper Rick Ross.
Lead single "Made to Love" is built on crunchy distorted drums and scattered vocal echoes (courtesy of New Zealand's Kimbra) evoking classic house music.

Legend Fitness 3169 10-Pair Pro-Style Dumbbell Rack - The Legend 3169 is a heavy-duty commercial quality dumbbell rack that is ideal for holding a 5-50, 55-100 or 105 to 150 lb. round headed dumbbell set. Whether you're storing pro-style dumbbells, solid steel or any other kind of dumbbell with round heads, the 3169 rack will safely and securely hold any size and keep them in order with the pre-installed ABS dumbbell saddles. How is the Legend 3169 rack able to hold dumbbells as heavy as 150 lbs.? All Legend dumbbell racks are fully fabricated in the USA from materials made in the USA. These materials consist of 3" x 3" x 11 gauge structural steel tubing that make up each frame and 1/4" thick angle iron that form the trays that the dumbbell set rests on. After all fabrication is complete, each rack is pressure washed with an iron sulfate solution so as to remove all oil and dirt to insure maximum adhesion of the electrostatically applied TGIC polyester powder. The rack is then baked at 400 degrees to permanently bond the powder coating to the steel. With the quality and care that goes into the making of each Legend dumbbell rack, you'd be hard pressed to find another rack that performs this well and lasts so long in the harshest commercial gym environments.

Microsoft's Follow-up To Vista Scheduled For 2009
Windows Vista has been out for only a few weeks and Microsoft is already talking about the next step. In an attempt to avert something similar to the five year wait Windows XP users experienced waiting for Vista, Microsoft has disclosed details on the successor to Vista, codenamed Vienna. WinFS, native HD DVD capabilities, and FireWire-B may be addressed in the first service pack for Vista but there is a chance some of these features may not make it into an MS operating system until Vienna.

About "F*** Y**!" by willypiva

fuck yes!
This would get me into a lot of fights with sailors.
lol @ bio bot
f*g lovely!

Better without the key because otherwise people will stand there trying to read it for five minuets
and then what...
awkward silence
I wish it said "Hello Sailor"
Then I'd give it a 5!
Hehe. I've been playing with a semaphor idea for a while, though nothing ever came of it. It looks great on the tee, but I'm also not keen on the message -you're better than that, Guillermo!
I love it!
you should stick with the concept, but try a more interesting message. i'm liking the idea for sure.
i like it, but i think it would be a little subtler with the code on the back. that way it doesn't scream F*** YOU but it says it sneakily. that's just my idea. i still love it, though :)
love this! i like the idea of putting the key on the back too. i can just imagine wearing it and someone asks what it means. ha!
Love the concept, but think the message could be smarter/funnier -" F*@k you" has been done to death.

A Media Check from Experian can quickly search media for any instances that have brought the candidate to the public attention, giving you as complete and balanced a view as possible of the candidate. We check over 45,000 global newsfeeds, from local and national newspapers to trusted international newswires. The archive dates back to 1971 and is updated daily.
An Experian Media Check is designed to supplement an application. It can uncover new information as well as validating and reinforcing what you already know, giving you the confidence you need to make accurate, informed decisions when recruiting.
About the check
Media Checks have been known to uncover articles linking candidates to crime, terrorism or scandal. These links could damage your company's reputation if brought to the public's attention post employment, especially if you work within a regulated sector.
A Media search could also uncover an article that places your candidate in a positive light. This could support their application through validating your initial impressions, giving you a richer understanding of a candidate's personality than can be gleaned from a CV alone. It could even highlight some skills or qualities that might not otherwise have been discussed during the application process.
Experian Media Checks are not necessarily relevant for every candidate or every role. But with potential risks of reputational damage, they could be considered an integral part of the overall background checking process for businesses in protected sectors, or for those who are recruiting for senior managerial roles.
Sample Report
Turnaround time
Upon receiving a submission, we will conduct a Media Check within four hours. Our reports are concise and accessible, immediately giving you the information you need to proceed with the application.

Students jump for heart health
LIAM NUTMA, standing, pulls Carsen Holmquist free from Jayden McCullough during a game of 'shark' with a parachute at Centennial Christian School's Jump Rope for Heart Day, yesterday, May 15.
STUDENTS AT Centennial Christian picked a beautiful day for their Jump Rope for Heart event in the school parking lot and field, yesterday, May 15.
About 80 students from kindergarten to Grade 7 collected pledges and went through a variety of jumping and skipping activities for two hours that afternoon.
"The purpose of the event is to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and to encourage heart healthy lifestyles," said teacher Gord Buxton.
In addition to jumping rope by themselves, students tried double dutch skipping and played games with a parachute, such as 'shark' and 'igloo.'

Annie Locke bio
Annie Locke has become known and respected in many parts of the world for her special contribution to relaxation and classical music.
Her work, with its lingering melodies and unusual textures of sound, is distinctive, yet easily accessible and immediately appealing.
Classical Training & Television
Annie studied classical music at the Royal Academy of Music and graduated from there with a degree in piano and oboe. When she left college, music took second place to a career in television at the BBC where she worked in the Drama Department.
She was Production Manager on both classical and modern plays – which included Mike Leigh's "Abigail's Party". She was also Assistant Director on The Trojan War Will Not Take Place at the Minack Theatre in Cornwall – and interviewed the playwright, Christopher Fry, for the play – visit Wikipedia to find out more on Christopher Fry. She also directed some classical music programmes while at the BBC.
Making Her Albums
Some years later her musical interests were dramatically re-awakened after she played a synthesizer for the first time. Within a very short time she had composed her first music. This also became her first album, The Living Earth.
Eighteen months later she produced her second album Portraits. Like her first album this has also been highly regarded by people in the medical profession and elsewhere for its relaxation and sheer enjoyment value.
Annie's third album Memories, with its rich melodic sounds, has been a best seller in its field. Like her other works Memories has tracks that were improvised in single takes – for instance the music for A Time There Was was improvised entirely in one twenty minute session using a variety of sounds including piano solo. Annie then added orchestral textures.
Solo Concerts and Talks
Annie sometimes gives solo concerts on piano – she has composed many pieces for solo piano and hopes to bring out an album of these in the near future. Sometimes she combines concerts with a talk on how music and sound affect our health, a subject in which she is deeply interested – see article, Sound, Music and our Health.
Teaching Piano and Playing
Annie also teaches piano – taking many of her students through the Grades. In you happen live in the Evesham area of the UK you might want to visit her Evesham Piano Lessons website to find out more. She also does a regular twice weekly slot playing piano at The Three Ways House Hotel in Gloucestershire (UK).
Final Comment…
Annie Locke's music has become popular with people of all ages and from all walks of life. The reasons for this are simple enough; her music touches the hearts of folk because she plays from the heart and wishes to help bring some sunshine and quiet into all our lives.

Dance Central 2 Xbox 360
- Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
- Release Date: Oct 25, 2011
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Nov 1, 2011The best game for Kinect just got better. Dance Central 2 improves on practically every feature in the original, and adds a much-needed two player mode, a must for everyone who likes to have fun.
Oct 25, 2011It's a hell of a workout, and a lot of fun to play with friends. It doesn't really make any significant strides over the original game, but the first Dance Central didn't seem to need many improvements to begin with.
Oct 14, 2011I've got fist pump fever and the only prescription is more Dance Central 2.
Oct 25, 2011Overall, Dance Central 2 is a pretty amazing Kinect game. Harmonix has packed it full with features and it should keep you busy for quite a while. This is by far the best Kinect dance game and a pretty good leap from the original Dance Central.
Oct 14, 2011It isn't very often you get a sequel that improves in so many areas without changing too much, but it is clear that Dance Central is worthy of your precious holiday dollars.
Oct 11, 2011Dance Central 2 blew our minds because of its artful mix of movement and gameplay; it makes using your body to respond to what's onscreen an afterthought. You just think: "Man, what a great game."
Nov 6, 2011Dance Central 2 is a great dance game that manages to fix all the problems that I initially had with the original game, and totally blew away my expectations at the same time. The multiplayer functionality is extremely well thought out, offering both competitive and co-operative modes for the keen dancer.
Nov 22, 2011The first game set the standard for the dancing genre on Kinect; the sequel raises that bar by adding a solid multiplayer that you don't have to fuss with and a tutorial mode that should be able to teach dancers of any skill many dance moves to use in real life should the opportunity arise.
X-ONE Magazine UKDec 8, 2011The best kinect game yet. [Issue#79, p.82]
Nov 21, 2011With more modes, a great track list, and engaging (local) multiplayer, plus the nice tweaks to the voice support and the addition of the Crew Challenge, Harmonix's latest effort remains in the top spot among all Kinect titles on store shelves today.
Nov 18, 2011The king of dancing games has a successor and its name is Dance Central 2.
Nov 3, 2011Dance Central 2 is by far the best Kinect game out to date. It is also one of the only games that actually make you feel like the actions you are doing are being properly scored and accounted for in the game. Whatever Harmonix is doing behind the scenes to get so much out of the Kinect other developers should take note because it truly is incredible and deserving the price of admission.
Nov 1, 2011Dance Central 2 is a great evolution of the first episode of this cool franchise. Harmonix did a great job with this game, creating one of the most interesting Kinect experiences out there. If you love dancing, you can't miss this game.
Oct 30, 2011A welcome improvement of the original game with a more distinctive and catchy visual style, local multiplayer, a great tracklist and better movements tracking. We're still missing online play, though.
Oct 26, 2011A clear improvement on its already-excellent predecessor and is now absolutely the dance game that Kinect deserves. Those who can't stomach the more narrow selection of musical genres will be upset, but this is still the slickest, sexiest dance game around.
Oct 25, 2011Yet again the best game to make the most of Kinect, and an example of how to make a charming game for everyone.
Oct 21, 2011The best game you can get for Microsoft's Kinect device. You won't find a game with better body tracking tech, and that brings Dance Central 2 far above its peers.
Oct 19, 2011Dance Central did many things right, Harmonix really just had to improve details. They did: add good coop, dance battle, a kind of campagin mode, you get Dance Central 2. A game that takes the good predecessor to the next level. Okay, the song selection will be too modern for some tastes – but once that becomes the biggest criticism, that's a damn good sign.
Oct 17, 2011A better dance game than Just Dance 3. The workout modes and campaign give you a reason to keep coming back, whether you're playing alone or with a group, and the mechanics behind the body tracking are second to none (even if the voice control commands are still a bit spotty).
Oct 17, 2011Dance Central 2 doesn't just beat the first game; it completely replaces it.
Oct 14, 2011Even with a few hiccups, Dance Central 2 provides further proof that the Kinect can facilitate amazing gaming experiences when they're well designed around Kinect from the get-go.
Oct 14, 2011This team of rhythm game veterans have proven once again that they are, as they always have been, masters of progressive iteration.
Oct 14, 2011With the inclusion of multiplayer, Dance Central 2 has become the definitive dance game on any console far surpassing its competitors. Thoughtful and intricate choreography that is still fun but accessible, a song list that is familiar and current with a depth of gameplay has made this title both challenging for previous Dance Central converts yet still welcoming for newcomers.
Nov 15, 2011Harmonix has made some great innovations and additions in Dance Central 2, but the lack of competitive gameplay over Xbox Live is an oversight that stops the dance-tastic title from breaking that much sought after 90+ barrier. Still as much a killer-app for Kinect as before, but still missing that one key ingredient.
Pelit (Finland)Dec 9, 2011The sequel for the best Kinect game doesn't fail. The two player mode is the biggest improvement. Training leads to results, so this game is edu-tainment as it's best. Second Dance Central is – as it's predecessor – a Kinect application for both casual and hardcore gamers. [Dec 2011]
Games Master UKNov 20, 2011Could do with some more retro love but this is a move ahead of other dance games. [Christmas 2011, p.74]
Oct 27, 2011We do wish the menu was a little more accessible, though. Sometimes the game has a hard time reading certain gestures of your hand. Luckily, the added voice control makes it a little better, so you can shout out what you want to do instead of forcibly moving pointers around.
Nov 2, 2011Dance Central 2 stands as a significant upgrade over the previous Dance Central game for the Xbox 360 Kinect. The voice command technology, bigger set list, ability to import songs from the previous Dance Central, and enhanced visuals all make for a game that should be under many Christmas trees this holiday season.
Oct 27, 2011More moves, more songs, more things to do. In one word: better. That's the way we like it!
Nov 20, 2011Dance Central 2 is a solid game and perhaps an even better dance instructor.
Dec 12, 2011A great step forward for Dance Central. Importing your old songs to make a giant playlist is tough to beat, and the game is much more of a workout then you might expect!
Nov 16, 2011Improved in all accounts, Dance Central 2 offers a spectacular dancing performance. While it doesn't reinvent the wheel, fans of the genre should find almost everything they are looking for from a dance game.
Oct 25, 2011A logical evolution from Dance Central and certainly one of the best Kinect games avaliable for it by far. It's serious enough to offer an entertaining challenge and easy enough to welcome everyone, making it a superior dancing game over much goofier offerings.
Oct 24, 2011This is without a doubt the best game you can get for Kinect.
Oct 21, 2011Dance Central 2 will get you grooving with its impressive routines that strike a fine balance of accessibility, challenge, and fun.
Oct 26, 2011There are plenty of songs to dance to in the exhibition mode, and newbies will appreciate the exhaustive training mode.
Nov 15, 2011If you enjoyed the original, don't hestitate to pick up the new game and import your songs over. But don't buy a Kinect just for Dance Central 2. Don't run out and pay full price for the game if you're only going to enjoy it during a party. There's sure to be a sale sooner than later.
Nov 2, 2011Very similar to its predecessor, but it now comes with a proper two-player mode, an improved Break it Down mode, and lots of other small improvements. If you enjoyed the first game, you will certainly enjoy this one.
Oct 16, 2011Nimbly straddling the line between technical and accessible, the series continues to be one of the best dancing games out there, if not one of the best games on Kinect period.
Oct 14, 2011I haven't had an opportunity to test my new moves at a club yet, but with Dance Central 2's drop-in, drop-out multiplayer, I don't need to leave my house to have a social dance experience. I still think that 90 percent of all dance moves look better when anyone other than me performs them, and that children dance with a wild abandon that few adults are confident enough to muster, but my time with Dance Central 2 has convinced me that even those of us that aren't dance enthusiasts can have fun busting a move if we're willing to give it a shot.
Jan 5, 2012Dance Central 2 is actually a pretty good workout game with a nice little career mode. The soundtrack mostly features radio hits, but the songs from Dance Central can be unlocked for a small price.
Dec 7, 2011While Dance Central 2 hasn't done anything vastly different to move the genre forward, it is still a solid entry, and has solidified itself as a solid franchise. As long as you don't mind looking a little goofy in front of friends, you really can't go wrong popping this in at a party to liven the mood a bit.
Nov 11, 2011While Just Dance is fundamentally a social game, Dance Central 2 is a proper dancing game.
Nov 9, 2011There's always something about dance video games. However, newly Dance Central 2 is as close to your 'weekend party in a club' as close is your living room. It is true that for ordinary gamers this is an experience like from an another world – but that was your first vodka with Red Bull as well, am I right?
Nov 9, 2011Dance Central 2 has obviously been made with passion and love, and isn't just a quick cash grab. Compared to its predecessor, it has better songs, more forgiving gameplay and the option of two-player dancing, which is easily the most important addition.
Nov 1, 2011The differences between Dance Central and this sequel can be compared to the first two Guitar Hero games. That means a lot of good things has happened and good Kinect games doesn't grow on trees, so Dance Central 2 is highly recommended for everyone.
Oct 31, 2011Dance Central is everything one could expect from a good sequel. As precise in it movement recognition, it now boasts a two player offer, an enhanced solo mode, and a very decent learning curve. It may be this last point that drives a choice between DC2 and Just Dance 3: the first is more demanding and deep, the second more aimed at immediate fun.
Oct 24, 2011Dance Central 2 is better than Dance Central, though that margin will vary significantly depending on how dissatisfied you were with the original's lack of two-player support or a structured story mode to ease you into the experience. Personally, I was happy to just have more Dance Central, but what I got was better than that.
Oct 24, 2011Harmonix has clearly listened to and addressed any criticisms levelled at the original, resulting in an improved sequel that rarely misses a beat.
Oct 24, 2011In short, it's unquestionably the best dance game available on Kinect, and a successful, evolutionary step forward that will certainly please those who loved the original.
Oct 20, 2011Quotation forthcoming.
Oct 20, 2011While Dance Central 2's selection of tracks still lacks the eclectic feel (and silliness) found in Ubisoft's Just Dance, it still offers dozens of fine danceables.
Oct 19, 2011It's testimony to Harmonix that the Dance Central series has become an essential purchase for Kinect owners. Having two players in front of the screen is tremendous fun, and adds to the game's appeal massively.
Oct 17, 2011Far more interested in fixing the flaws of the original than most sequels, this is probably the best, or at least most accurate, use of Kinect so far.
Oct 16, 2011The seamless integration of voice commands into a polished, thoughtful upgrade is Harmonix's slick finishing move. Dance Central 2 is a typical music game sequel – it works better, offers more, yet feels fundamentally the same – but it's a practised improvement to an already eye-catching routine.
Oct 14, 2011The best dance game out there. In terms of visuals, features and competency of controls, there's nothing better. It slightly bothers me, though, that I had more fun with Just Dance 3.

Corporate Governance
Sustainability begins with board oversight and commitment at the top, supported by strong management systems that integrate sustainability across the rest of the company. This chain of accountability—stretching from the boardroom to the factory floor to global supply chains—is the only way to achieve meaningful sustainable business performance.
Ceres works with members of its Company Network to integrate sustainability across governance structures and management systems.
We work with member companies to:
- Establish board committees on sustainability issues or integrate sustainability oversight into board committee charters
- Link sustainability goals and performance with compensation
- Create more robust corporate policies that reflect the company's sustainability priorities
- Align public policy positions with its sustainability goals.
At Ceres, we consistently find that companies with strong governance systems are better positioned to foresee and adapt to changing economic, social, environmental and political conditions. This usually means stronger long-term value for the company, shareholders and society.
Ceres Companies in Action"Sustainability is part of our every day discussions at National Grid. Linking executive pay and climate change deliverables has increased accountability and positively impacted our culture. Employees across the company are increasingly incentivized to put sustainability at the heart of the way we do business." Getting Sustainability on the board's agendaWhile only one-third of U.S. corporate boards of directors oversee sustainability matters, companies like Prudential, EMC, Ford and Nike are leading the way with strong governance practices.

Raising our Business Voice on Climate & Energy PolicyIn 2013, BICEP, a Ceres-run coalition of businesses supporting U.S. climate policy action, launched the Climate Declaration, asserting that, "Tackling climate change is one of America's greatest economic opportunities of the 21st century."

Chicago Illinois
Real Weddings Traditional Elegance
Kate Spade twobirds Vera Wang
Light Gray Light Pink
Dahlia Dusty Miller Garden Rose
Big city weddings tend to be some of the most style-driven affairs that grace our pages. But with brides who've got art, culture and endless inspiration all around them, it's really no wonder. The perfect example? This Chicago "I do" captured by Tim Tab Studios. It's stylish to the absolute max, and there's lots more waiting for you here!
From the Bride… Greg and I met in college at the University of Wisconsin. When I was deciding where to attend law school, Greg still had one more year of college to finish. I told him I chose Chicago over the West Coast because of the city and the school – but secretly I also knew it was only a two and a half hour drive from Madison. When Greg graduated, he turned down all of his full time employment opportunities for a three-month internship that allowed him to move to Chicago too. Two and half years later, he surprised me by taking me on a very special tour of the city. We stopped at all the places that were special to us, took polaroids, drank champagne, and eventually ended up on the rooftop of our apartment building where he proposed.
Chicago was the perfect choice for our wedding. We wanted a traditional wedding that was also romantic, urban, and really, really fun. Our top priorities were finding a unique reception venue that would reflect our style and finding a band that would keep all of our guests on the dance floor. We loved the Chicago Illuminating Company as soon as we stepped inside. The lofty ceilings, oversized standing mirrors and paintings, black and white details, giant built-in bars, outdoor courtyard… there's so much to love! When we found out it was available on a Saturday only six months away, we quickly set the date and got to work. Who says you need a year to plan a wedding? We couldn't wait to be married. The next step, choosing our band, was easy. Greg's three-month internship had since become a full time job directing a music festival. He had taken me to see JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound several times, and even had them slated to play the festival that summer. We were incredibly excited when they said they would play at our wedding, and they didn't disappoint- eventually leaving our reception with all of our guests chanting for one more song.
We focused on incorporating summery colors and lots of different textures into the flowers, food, and decor. Entertaining Company immediately caught on to the feel of our wedding and created a fun and delicious menu, including bite-sized shepards pies sitting on top of mini-mugs of Guinness and fresh muddled lemonade cocktails. Some of our favorite touches included the outdoor furniture vignettes put together by the Ivan Carlson team and handmade, personalized decorations created by my mom, my sister, and a family friend. Tim and Bethany captured it all, and we were practically giddy when we saw the photos. We feel incredibly blessed and thankful to have had such a beautiful wedding day surrounded by friends and family.
