elcome to this website on the butterflies of Cyprus. |
The aims of the website are: |
¨ |
to maintain an accurate Cyprus butterfly species list, accompanied by brief notes on all species. |
¨ |
to aid identification by listing key distinguishing characters of certain species, especially the smaller lycaenids. |
¨ |
to provide photographs of the less familiar butterflies such as the Levantine Leopard (Apharitis acamas), Small Desert Blue (Chilades galba) and the endemic species, e.g. the Cyprus Meadow Brown (Maniola cypricola) which are rarely, if ever, referred to in the popular European butterfly books. |
¨ |
to offer assistance to Cyprus residents and visitors and provide a point of reference for our network of existing recorders and future contacts. |
¨ |
to provide guidance on obtaining a Permit to allow the study of butterflies (and all other invertebrates) in Cyprus, following the introduction of a recently introduced law. |
¨ |
to complement our very active Butterfly Recording Scheme for Cyprus, thereby building a valuable database for current and future conservation projects by the Cypriot authorities. |
¨ |
to encourage conservation of the island's butterflies. To this end, we formed the Cyprus Butterfly Study Group in 2012, a Network Partner of Butterfly Conservation Europe. |
To the north of the island lies the southern coast of Turkey (ca. 70 km) with Syria and Lebanon slightly further to the east. Egypt lies to the south. |
The Troodos Mountain range dominates much of the western area of Cyprus, while the smaller Pentadaktylos Mountain range runs parallel with the northern coast of the island, leading into Karpasia. The two ranges are separated by the Mesaoria Plain, which forms the agricultural heartland of the island. |
Location of Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean |
These views of Cyprus show the lowland areas green in winter or spring, with the Akrotiri Salt Lake indicating the seasonal presence of water. In early summer, the water evaporates and the salt lake, along with much of the island, desiccates. In the height of summer, temperatures at Mount Olympus (1951 m) the highest point on the island, may be 10 degrees Centigrade lower than on the coast. |

In my last post I tried to find a way to measure the goodness of the books in the "Good Book", but I wasn't completely satisfied with the results. So here's one more try. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
In the SAB, I identify the Bible's verses that contain good advice about how we should live our lives, whatever our religious views might be. For example, I think it's a good idea to try, at least as much as possible, to treat others kindly. So I include Leviticus 19:18 ("Love thy neighbor as thyself") in the "Good Stuff". Of course, not all the verses that I've marked good are as good as this verse, but I marked them good because they seemed (at least somewhat) good to me.
So take a look at the SAB's good stuff to see if you agree, at least most of the time, that the verses that I've marked good are, in fact, good. If so, then the following analysis should be reasonable for you as well.
I began my analysis by plotting the number of good things in each book of the Bible. (Of the 66 books in the Bible, there were 30 in which I could find nothing good.)
When size is taken into account, Ecclesiastes is the best (36.0 good passages/ 100 verses), with Proverbs second at 20.4. So Ecclesiastes has more good stuff (per 100 verses) than any other book in the Bible.
But what about all the bad stuff in the Bible? Shouldn't we try to find a way to rate the goodness of a book by weighing both the book's good and bad?
The simplest solution, I think, is to count up the good things in each book and subtract the bad. The result is the net good. (I totaled cruelty, injustice, intolerance, bad family values, insults to women and homosexuals to get the number of bad things, since the verses marked with these categories are all morally objectionable.)
When I did that, I found that there are only three good books in the Bible: Ecclesiastes (of course), Proverbs, and James. Three others have a zero net goodness. The other 60 books are all more bad than good.
Other goodness metrics that might be useful are the percentage of marked passages that are good and the net good number of passages per 100 verses. Since there are only three books with a positive net goodness, we can limit our analysis to these three.
Here is a table that summarizes the data.
Ecclesiastes | Proverbs | James | |
Good | 80 | 187 | 13 |
Bad | 1 | 75 | 9 |
Net good | 79 | 112 | 4 |
verses | 222 | 915 | 108 |
net good/100 verses | 35.6 | 12.2 | 3.7 |
Percent good of (good and bad) highlighted verses | 98.8 | 71.4 | 59.1 |
good/bad | 80 | 2.5 | 1.4 |
So no matter how you look at it, Ecclesiastes is by far the best (and pretty much the only good) book in the the Bible.

- - He Stops Loping after a view strides!
He Stops Loping after a view strides! 1 Attachment(s) So this is my lease, He seems to be in good shape as i posted in the heath fourm, i thought he could use a little weight but he is in good heath. So when i am in the out door ring, i can lope him and when i do and he starts going he only goes for a few strides ( like 10 ) and then stops, i dont understand what it is. When i feel him to sttart to slow down i get after him but it doesnt work he just ends up going into a trot then walk... I dont know if i need to build up the musclel to do it for a whole lap or what? But the funny thing is when he was in the field (25arc) he woudnt stop loping, i had to make him stopp so i have no idea....i know he can do it because he showed me he can in the field. Any ideas? |
It sounds like he needs to gain some muscle and get his body used to cantering with a rider on him. It's allot easier for a horse to canter freely in a field than it is tacked up collected and with a rider on his back. Just do allot of trotting for a couple weeks and he should eventually keep cantering. This could also be because he had and owner that only liked to canter for short periods of time (People are weird haha). Are you an experienced rider? Are you bouncing around allot when he canters? If so you might be irritating him! Let me know. |
Sorry for the miss communication, when he was in the field he was all tacked up with me on his back, and he kept going, and i have been riding for a couple months now, so my lope isnt crazy bouncy i know how to control it, but i can see what you mean that may be it... i was thinking it was muscle too, and he did only have one previous owner where he was the only horse, so he WHINEYS all the time, we are working on that also. |
i am also going to have my friend ride him who has been riding for years to see if he does the same thing, if he doesnt than we know its ME and not him LOL |
Were you on him when he was in the field loping? Or just watching him? My first thought would be he has transferred his weight and yours is now on his forehand... so he is pulling himself. To truly lope they need to lighten their front end by transferring their weight to the hind end, lightening the front and pushing off from behind. Only horse I have ever seen gallop heavy on the forehand is a racing Thoroughbred, but exercise riders and jockeys are like statues in quiet riding of their bodies and keeping their weight balanced above the horses center of gravity. My thought would be you are leaning forward enough as you start to move off that you are putting hi slightly off-balance as you continue... so making it much harder for him to remain steady and balanced in his gait. Even his picture you posted he looks slightly heavy on his forehand... not pushing but pulling.... add your weight to that and he can't continue this for long. You need to elevate his front and allow him to round his back so he can reach under and push... and you need to get off his brakes...NO, not his mouth...his spinal column and muscles are part of his braking system. jmo... |
Can't and Won't are different . This is a case of "Won't" he lopes in the fiield becuase he basically wants to , or at least doesn't mind. in the arena, he is bored and knows that by stopping he can get out of work. That is "won't" , not a "can't". Look to yourself and your clearness of leadership here. |
Then you keep going after him until he listens, then the second he goes just a step further than what you ask you tell him to stop. Soon he will realize that he can't stop when he wants and that it will be less work in the long run to just wait for your cue to slow down. However, as another poster suggested he may not have enough stamina or muscle to keep going for long periods of time. I would continue to work on trotting and getting him to use his back and behind correctly before working on a ton of cantering/loping. |
Does he always try to stop or slow in the same area of the arena? Horses are creatures of habit, ours. If his owner rode him, then stopped and got off at the same place generally or after a particular routine and time frame he is anticipating this. If he does this coming toward the "gate", he got you...never ever pull up, or get off near the gate. This becomes a horrible habit in a hurry and so hard to correct and break. You need to ride him stronger, push harder when you feel him start to get balky and ride him past this point in time and place. You need to possibly push him with your butt and legs and "drive" him but not lean and send him mixed signals at the same time. It is hard not knowing how advanced your riding is and how sensitive this horse is to you and your weight shifting you not even realize you may be doing. This can also be a "respect" issue... he could be testing to see if you are going to make him do as you want or if he can do as he pleases. Respect and you being "herd leader {lead mare}"...from the ground on up to astride work make sure you have the horses respect, attention and correct attitude at all times. |
If this is something he always does in the arena, then it is predictable, right? So, KEEP YOU LEG ON HIM! It is much easier to keep him going than to get him going again. If you need to use a crop, then do it, but he has now learned he can do this! I would also suggest, and this seems so simple, but it works for me......make sure you are looking up. Look and act like you are going somewhere. Chances are that is what you did in the field, but in the arena many of us tend to look down...... |

DEFIANCE - A 17-year-old Sherwood, Ohio, boy was injured in a three-vehicle accident that closed part of U.S. 24 for four hours early yesterday, the Ohio Highway Patrol reported.
Edward Carnahan, Jr., was listed in critical condition in Toledo Hospital. The other drivers involved in the wreck were treated at Defiance Hospital.
Troopers at the patrol's post in Defiance said young Carnahan was westbound at 12:35 a.m. on U.S. 24 and drove left of center, striking an eastbound United Parcel Service tractor-trailer rig head-on. Edward was ejected from his car and landed on the north side of the road.
The impact caused the UPS vehicle, driven by Randy Chandler, 33, of Martinsville, Ind., to hit the guardrail off the east edge of U.S. 24, where it slid out of control and struck a westbound pickup truck driven by Deborah Hays, 35, of Huntington, Ind. The pickup flipped over, while the UPS truck hit the guardrail again. Both vehicles caught on fire.
Troopers said the accident remains under investigation.

Hello! I am almost 5 weeks PO from a Full Tummy Tuck w/ Muscle Repair and I was instructed by my doctor to massage my scar as I had some hard spots of fat nacrosis near my pubic line. Last night I was massaging the scar and next thing you know I hear a LOUD pop in the area about my pubic bone. It almost sounded like I was popping buble wrap. There was no pain. I looked and saw nothing that looks different. Do you think it was an internal stich or that I messed up my TT? Thx so much!!!
1 Month Post Op - Massaging FTT/MR Scar and Heard a LOUD Pop
Doctor Answers 2
Web reference: http://www.psurgery.com
5 weeks out and you are massaging the scar and you hear a POP. One POP and no residual pain or deformity. You messed up nothing. It was, as you said, probably a stitch that popped. It's not the first time that that has happened. There are probably a hundred stitches in there. One is usually inconsequential.
All the best,

A resident carries a wooden pallet to his tent as the rain begins to fall on Tent City4 in Woodinville, Wash. The pallets are used to keep the tents off the wet ground. Kevin P. Casey photo. |
It's been nearly 2,000 years since the Apostle Paul, a tent maker by trade, drew upon his professional vocabulary to explain the realm of God: "If this earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in the heavens, not made by human hands."
But in August, it was Northshore UCC in Woodinville, Wash.,—a church with a down-to-earth conviction about that heavenly promise—that offered an eternal measure of hospitality to a community of homeless campers whose earthly tents, quite literally, were being destroyed. Like Jesus, "they had no place to lay their heads."
In late July, about 100 homeless persons in the Seattle area were living in a makeshift tent encampment in a lot next door to St. Brendan Catholic Church in the residential community of Bothell, Wash. But when the city sued the Catholic parish for alleged improper use of its church-owned property, a new host site had to be found.
For a while, it appeared, no one wanted the marginalized, tent-dwelling residents in their own back yards.
That's when Northshore UCC offered its controversial welcome—an invitation for "Tent City4," as it's called, to use the church's property in residential Woodinville, about three miles away. It was a proposal that triggered anger among many in the suburban Woodinville community.
"We invited Tent City4 to use our property. É and two contentious meetings were held with neighbors [in Woodinville]," recalls Dennis Lone, moderator of Northshore UCC. "There was a lot of hysteria that these [homeless] people were criminals, and that people wouldn't be able to go outside at night. One woman even said she wouldn't be able to let her cat out of the house."
But, ultimately, Woodinville's city government stepped forward with a solution. It would offer a more-suitable, city-owned site for Tent City4, as long as Northshore UCC would serve as a sponsor-of-sorts for the city's new tent-dwelling residents. The church agreed, and the Tent City4 community accepted the land offer.
"We signed an agreement with the city, a temporary use permit," Lone says. "So even though they are not on our property, we are the sponsoring agent in the city's eyes."
Now, Northshore UCC finds itself expressing its long-standing commitment to radical hospitality in new-found ways. Church members and other volunteers helped 80 of the 100 residents move to the new site. (Twenty persons found other places to relocate.) The congregation built standalone showers on the site and members have been providing regular meals for residents. They also are recruiting other community organizations to get involved, because the current location likely will be utilized by Tent City4 residents for at least 100 days.
"We are recruiting people to support Tent City4," Lone says. "This has been an important lesson. Homelessness is a community problem, not just a church problem. So we want to find any individuals who want to become involved with this."
The Rev. Paul Forman, Northshore UCC's pastor, says that support among his congregation for Tent City4 has been "overwhelming." Forman, himself, is providing pastoral care for Tent City4 residents. He recently presided at a wedding service for two of its residents.
"I think we understand it as a religious obligation," Forman told a local newspaper. "We're a church that is open to everyone regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation or economic circumstances. It's walking our talk."
When asked how the church's acts of justice and mercy have affected life inside the congregation, Lone says it's been a bit too hectic for much religious reflection at this point, even though, he says, their pastor has been providing theological underpinnings in his weekly sermons to bolster the congregation's spirits.
"Honestly, I think we've been so busy we haven't had time to reflect," Lone says, "but attendance is up. People have been coming who normally would have been skipping in the summer."
But Lone still has a sneaking suspicion that his church has latched onto something good, even though the full measure of this learning experience is still in process.
"I do know this is exactly the right thing for the church to be doing," he says, "even though I'm not sure in exactly what way, if that makes any sense."
"I mean, how often do you get an opportunity to do something like this?" Lone asks, reflectively. "We had the opportunity to do the right thing and we stepped up and we did it. How often does the opportunity present itself to do the right thing?"

I met some if the nicest ppl at the Pin Oak HT two weeks ago. It was cold and rainy but several members took a LOT of time to explain things to me. I was amazed at how much interest they took in me..knowing I will be new to the game. This was the exact opposite of my last experience . Went to another club years ago and was NOT welcomed to say the least. It turned me off of the HT scene.
But I'm excited to have a group to train with. Looking forward to it!

Java - The HashSet Class
HashSet extends AbstractSet and implements the Set interface. It creates a collection that uses a hash table for storage.
A hash table stores information by using a mechanism called hashing. In hashing, the informational content of a key is used to determine a unique value, called its hash code.
The hash code is then used as the index at which the data associated with the key is stored. The transformation of the key into its hash code is performed automatically.
Following is the list of constructors provided by the HashSet class.
Sr.No. | Constructor & Description |
1 | HashSet( ) This constructor constructs a default HashSet. |
2 | HashSet(Collection c) This constructor initializes the hash set by using the elements of the collection c. |
3 | HashSet(int capacity) This constructor initializes the capacity of the hash set to the given integer value capacity. The capacity grows automatically as elements are added to the HashSet. |
4 | HashSet(int capacity, float fillRatio) This constructor initializes both the capacity and the fill ratio (also called load capacity) of the hash set from its arguments. Here the fill ratio must be between 0.0 and 1.0, and it determines how full the hash set can be before it is resized upward. Specifically, when the number of elements is greater than the capacity of the hash set multiplied by its fill ratio, the hash set is expanded. |
Apart from the methods inherited from its parent classes, HashSet defines following methods −
Sr.No. | Method & Description |
1 | boolean add(Object o) Adds the specified element to this set if it is not already present. |
2 | void clear() Removes all of the elements from this set. |
3 | Object clone() Returns a shallow copy of this HashSet instance: the elements themselves are not cloned. |
4 | boolean contains(Object o) Returns true if this set contains the specified element. |
5 | boolean isEmpty() Returns true if this set contains no elements. |
6 | Iterator iterator() Returns an iterator over the elements in this set. |
7 | boolean remove(Object o) Removes the specified element from this set if it is present. |
8 | int size() Returns the number of elements in this set (its cardinality). |
The following program illustrates several of the methods supported by HashSet −
import java.util.*; public class HashSetDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { // create a hash set HashSet hs = new HashSet(); // add elements to the hash set hs.add("B"); hs.add("A"); hs.add("D"); hs.add("E"); hs.add("C"); hs.add("F"); System.out.println(hs); } }
This will produce the following result −

Week 2 Day 1:
Afternoon workout which meant I had more energy than on Sunday. Felt pretty good going in and the result was a damn solid workout. Ab work still making me more tired than the compound lifts lol!
In KG
Squat: 60x 5 80 x 5, 102.5 x 5 x 3: Not as easy as last week but I am loving the new wider stance. I can really get down lower and use hip power to drive myself up. I think I am going lower than before actually and I am very happy with my technique. Good sets.
Bench: 50 x 5, 65 x 5, 77.5 x 5 x 3: Bench as always, felt a bit heavy though I am happier with the flat foot stance. I still make an arch and my body is fairly tight as I lift. 10kg below my best 5 rep performance but felt heavier. Still, I was happy because they were good reps.
Barbell Row: 40 x 5, 50 x 5, 57.5 x 3: Underhand grip was nice. Smooth and easy.
Pull ups: B/W x 5*, 4: I am claiming a
here. Just got chin above bar level I think for number 5. Surprised me actually. Need to learn how to kip properly!
Weighted Push Ups: B/W + 10kg: 2 x 15: I put the 10kg plate on my lower back because it is steadier there. Should I try and keep it mid or upper back. Liked the way these felt.
Decline sit ups: 25*, 25(rest pause 14, 7, 4) *PR for decline sit ups but my quads get more of a battering even though my legs stay still, hooked underneath a bar.
Rope Pulldowns: Pin 16: 2 x 25
Woodchops: 12.5kg Dumbbell: 3 x 10
Dumbbell side bend: 22.5kg: 1 x 20: These are good for my grip too!
Good start to the week, roll on Thursday!

The first part of director Peter Jackson's "Hobbit" trilogy received only so-so reviews, with critics noting the sluggishness of the story early on and the sometimes distracting visuals due to Jackson's use of high-frame-rate technology.
Audiences, however, don't seem to mind, as the movie set a box-office record Friday (Dec. 14) for movies opening in December. "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" made an estimated $37.5 million — including $13 million from Thursday midnight showings — to break the previous mark of $30.1 million held by "I Am Legend."
The record Friday haul puts "The Hobbit" on pace to break "I Am Legend's" December weekend record as well. The Will Smith movie made $77.2 million in its first weekend in 2007.
"The Hobbit" is the only major release this weekend, so there's not a ton of competition for it at the box office. Friday's No. 2 movie, "Lincoln," made just $1.9 million. "Skyfall," "Rise of the Guardians" and "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2" rounded out the Top 5, each making between $1.5 million and $1.85 million.

NEW DELHI: Aung San Suu Kyi on Thursday described violence in west Myanmar between Buddhists and Muslims as a "huge international tragedy" and said illegal immigration from Bangladesh had to be stopped.
Suu Kyi, on a visit to neighbouring India, said she had declined to speak out on behalf of stateless Rohingya Muslims who live on both sides of the border because she wanted to promote reconciliation after recent bloodshed.
More than 100,000 people have been displaced in Myanmar since June in two major outbreaks of violence in the western state of Rakhine. Dozens have been killed on both sides and thousands of homes torched.
"Don't forget that violence has been committed by both sides, this is why I prefer not to take sides and also I want to work towards reconciliation," she told the NDTV news channel.
"Is there a lot of illegal crossing of the border (with Bangladesh) still going on? We have got to put a stop to it, otherwise there will never be an end to the problem," she said.
"Bangladesh will say all these people have come from Burma (Myanmar) and the Burmese say all these people have come over from Bangladesh."
The Nobel laureate, who was released from military house arrest in 2010, has faced criticism from human rights groups for her muted response to the ethnic violence in her homeland.
"This is a huge international tragedy and this is why I keep saying that the government must have a policy about their citizenship laws," she said.
Nicholas Farrelly, a Myanmar expert at Australian National University, told AFP her comments reflected domestic opinion.
"If she makes a misstep, she could alienate her political base which is reluctant to have anything to do with the Rohingya," he said.
"She appears to be pivoting away from international human rights groups and is echoing sentiments inside Myanmar.
"Leaders in Myanmar feel international support flowing towards the Rohingya is inappropriate and that it misunderstands the situation."
Myanmar's 800,000 Rohingya are seen by the government and many in the country as illegal immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh. They face severe discrimination that activists say has led to a deepening alienation.
"There are quarrels about whether people are true citizens under law or whether they have come over as migrants later from Bangladesh," Suu Kyi said.
"Most people seem to think there is only one country involved in this border issue.
"There is Bangladesh on one side and Burma (Myanmar) on the other and the security of the border surely is the responsibility of both countries."
The Rohingya, who make up the vast majority of those displaced in the recent fighting, are described by the UN as among the world's most persecuted minorities.
Suu Kyi, who is now a member of parliament after dramatic changes overseen by a quasi-civilian regime that took power last year, dismissed criticism that her response to the unrest in Rakhine had been inadequate.
"I am not ambivalent about my views on violence, violence is something that I abhor completely," she said. "All those entitled to citizenship under the laws must be given citizenship, we say this very clearly."
The Rohingya are not officially recognised in Myanmar, partly owing to a 1982 law stipulating that minorities must prove they lived in Myanmar prior to 1823 — before the first Anglo-Burmese war — to obtain nationality.
Representatives of the Rohingya say their people were in Myanmar long before then but their ethnic history is the subject of fierce dispute.

Advertisement The flash game has the player controlling the Israelis, portrayed as a powerful and resourceful group overreacting to Palestinian Qassam rockets, which ineffectually swoop in the air, barely ever hitting a target. The goal of the game is to build missile silos, barracks, headquarters, and airports, using them to attack the Gaza Strip in order to kill the most Palestinians in 3 minutes. You start off with 10,000 Sheqel to spend, but can call out for aid at regular intervals to receive more cash. Bonus points are awarded for hitting police stations and hospitals. The whole affair is made even more ridiculous by the music in the background - The Carpenters' "Close To You".I know it's supposed to be a political statement, but the whole thing leaves me feeling a bit ill.

And I am back, back for one last post to reflect on my journey over the past four years with Notre Dame football.
It all started in the basement of Alumni Hall on the first night of freshmen orientation perfecting the lyrics to the fight song, the alma mater and the other Notre Dame cheers. To this day, I always default to "Go Irish! Beat Wolfpack!" just like all of my classmates. That game against Nevada was perfect. Michael Floyd and Jimmy Clausen played remarkably well as Notre Dame won 35-0.
Another memorable game from my freshman season was against Washington in the rain. It is funny to think back to our goal line stands during the game as a foreshadowing of sorts to the number of goal line stands that would take place in my senior season.
However, that season didn't end very well and Brian Kelly replaced Charlie Weis as a new era of Notre Dame football began.
I was initially excited about the Kelly hire until I journeyed with five relatives and friends to the New Meadowlands Stadium for the Navy game, in which Notre Dame was handily defeated. That game didn't leave me with a good feeling about the direction of the football team. However, my faith in Kelly returned with the impressive winning streak to end the season. The highlight of the year was our victory over USC. I was unable to watch the game, but when I found out we won my reaction was priceless. I vowed then that I wouldn't miss another Notre Dame football game on TV again. Therefore, it is no surprise that this year I journeyed back to Notre Dame a day early from Thanksgiving break so I could watch the same match-up. This time the reaction was once again priceless, but for an even more important reason!
My junior year began against South Florida and my anticipation for that season was unquantifiable. My expectations took a hit after the first game though as the season did not start off as planned. The South Florida game will always be remembered for the two thunderstorm delays, which made the day even that more bizarre. Last season will always be known for its turnovers and could best be described as a season of growing pains. The team had gotten better but still couldn't put everything together.
That all changed when the team started this season off in Dublin. It was an early wake-up call for all of the students at Notre Dame. My morning started with pancakes made by several generous souls from Keough Hall – they ended up making thousands of pancakes for all those who watched the contest near Keough. The game was played perfectly and we cruised to victory. The first home game wasn't as easy as Tommy Rees had to close the game for the Irish. That is when the special season truly began. The following weeks were highlighted by Manti Te'o's inspired play against Michigan State and Michigan. The Irish then handled Miami in Soldier Field. That was when I knew we had a shot at doing something big this season. We were on a roll and College GameDay was coming to town. We had the epic stop against Stanford and Manti's celebration in the rain. From there we defeated BYU and set the stage for the biggest showdown since I had enrolled at Notre Dame. The Irish stormed into Norman and behind Cierre Wood's early gallop and Manti's thunderous hit against Landry Jones, the Irish left Oklahoma with something few depart with – a win.
The magic continued in Week 9 as the Irish survived the heart-wrenching three overtimes against Pitt. We took care of the Eagles of BC and the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest at a very emotional senior game. I will always remember the multitude of leis that were waved throughout the student section when Manti ran through the tunnel for one last time. That night as we huddled in our dorm rooms, we first watched as Kansas State fell and then as Oregon was defeated. Chaos ensued and the campus erupted. The Irish were #1. The party continued after the Irish defeated USC behind yet another goal line stand. Unfortunately, the season did not end as we had hoped, but it was a special season nonetheless.
As I recap my last four years, I can see images of all these games flash through my memory. And as I type and re-experience the memories of this season, I cannot help but smile. We have been on a crazy train, but I wouldn't trade anything for it. Through it all – from the opening game against Nevada to the closing game against Alabama and all the games in the middle, it has been a celebration – a celebration with my closest friends and family in laughter and tears. Four seasons ago we entered as classmates and now leave as family. That is Notre Dame. We are Notre Dame.

Great Blog! And, thanks for not dwelling on the bowl game. Reminds me of how my Freshman year started with Ara's first year – the final game of that year was also forgettable. We were in for a great ride then, as we all are now. GO IRISH!!

South Korea's Kim Min-jung, left, and Ha Jung-eun play against South Africa's Michelle Edwards and Annari Viljoen in a women's doubles badminton match. The South Korean players were disqualified for deliberately trying to lose.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
LONDON— Eight female badminton doubles players were disqualified Wednesday from the London Olympics after trying to lose matches to receive a more favorable place in the tournament.
The Badminton World Federation announced its ruling after investigating two teams from South Korea and one each from China and Indonesia. It punished them for "not using one's best efforts to win a match" and "conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport" in matches Tuesday night.
"We applaud the federation for having taken swift and decisive action," IOC spokesman Mark Adams told The Associated Press. "Such behavior is incompatible with the Olympic values."
Erick Thohir, the head of Indonesia's Olympic team, told the AP that the Indonesian team will appeal. The BWF said South Korea had also appealed.
The competition was to continue later Wednesday. It was unclear if four eliminated teams would be placed into the quarterfinals or if the competition would restart at the semifinal stage.
Thohir accused Chinese players of losing on purpose in the past.
"China has been doing this so many times and they never get sanctioned by the BWF," Thohir said. "On the first game yesterday when China did it, the BWF didn't do anything. If the BWF do something on the first game and they say you are disqualified, it is a warning for everyone."
IOC Vice President Craig Reedie, the former head of the international badminton federation, welcomed the decision.
"Sport is competitive," Reedie told the AP. "If you lose the competitive element, then the whole thing becomes a nonsense.
"You cannot allow a player to abuse the tournament like that, and not take firm action. So good on them."
The eight disqualified players are world doubles champions Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang of China and their South Korean opponents Jung Kyun-eun and Kim Ha-na, along with South Korea's Ha Jung-eun and Kim Min-jung and Indonesia's Meiliana Jauhari and Greysia Polii.
The players went before a disciplinary hearing Wednesday, a day after spectators at the arena booed their performance after it became clear they were deliberately trying to lose.
International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge had been at the venue but had left shortly before the drama unfolded. The IOC said it would allow badminton's ruling body to handle the matter.
Paul Deighton, chief executive officer of the London organizers, said there would be no refunds for the evening's badminton program. Chairman Sebastian Coe called what happened "depressing," adding "who wants to sit through something like that?"
Teams blamed the introduction of a round-robin stage rather than a straight knockout tournament as the main cause of the problem. The round-robin format can allow results to be manipulated to earn an easier matchup in the knockout round.
The Chinese players tried to rig the draw after its second-seeded pair unexpectedly lost to a Danish team in the morning. That placed the No. 2 pair on course for a semifinal meeting with Wang and Yu, instead of the final.
Wang and Yu then deliberately set out to lose so they would go into the bottom half of the draw. They hardly exerted themselves, and neither did the South Koreans, drawing jeers of derision from the crowd and warnings from the umpire and tournament referee Torsten Berg. Wang and Yu eventually got what they wanted by losing.
An hour later, the South Korean team of Ha and Kim took to the court and decided to also try to lose to the Indonesians to avoid meeting Wang and Yu in the quarterfinals. Early on, all four players were warned by the umpire for not trying hard, and Berg returned and produced black cards to disqualify both pairs, but the cards were rescinded on a promise of better play.
In the third game, Berg reappeared to urge them to finish, and the Indonesians ended up being better at losing than Ha and Kim, who fell into the playoff they didn't want with the world champions.
One of the world's top male players, 2004 Olympic singles champion Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia, called the situation a "circus match."
China's Lin Dan, the Olympic men's champion in singles, said through an interpreter the sport is going to be damaged.
"Especially for the audience," he said before the disqualifications were announced. "This is definitely not within the Olympic spirit. But like I said before, it's not one-sided. Whoever sets the rule should make it knockout so whoever doesn't try will just leave the Olympics."
Beijing badminton silver medalist Gail Emms said the matches were embarrassing to watch.
"It was absolutely shocking," she said. "The crowds were booing and chanting 'Off, off, off.'"

Here's a side dish that I make frequently for my family that they all love. My boys ask me to make "those things that are better than french fries" all the time. Like all recipes that use basic ingredients, this can be made with all organic ingredients or not. It's up to you.
Potatoes fall as #12 on The Environmental Working Group's Dirty Dozen foods that they believe should always be bought organic, so you may want to use organic potatoes. Keep the rest of the ingredients conventional if your food budget doesn't allow you to buy everything organic.
I really like this recipe because it's a great accompaniment to many dishes, it's much healthier than any bag of frozen french fries could ever be, and it's always a hit with my family. Everyone needs a handful of recipes like this in their cookbook.
* A note about non-stick spray. First of all, it will ruin your baking sheet. It bakes onto the sheet and will leave it forever looking dirty even after it has been washed. I keep one sheet that I use when I need to use non-stick on it, and I just accept the fact that that sheet is going to look nasty. It's clean. It's usable. But it's not pretty.
Secondly, there are organic versions of non-stick spray. You may want to check them out.

Tina Fey Shades Taylor Swift at 2014 Golden Globes
Remember at last year's Golden Globes when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler warned Taylor Swift to stay away from Michael J. Fox's son? And Taylor responded by telling Vanity Fair, "You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people. Because she said to me she had heard a quote that she loved, that said, 'There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women'"?
Well, it appears that time does not heal all wounds. During the 2014 Golden Globes, Tina congratulated her co-host Amy Poehler on her Golden Globe win by slyly telling the 'Parks and Recreation' actress, "There's a special place in hell for you."
Either Katie Couric is giving a lot of unsolicited advice, or Tina just re-ignited the feud! We have to admit, the former 'SNL' castmember dishes it, but she can also take it.
As for Taylor, well … She's been known to hold a grudge. (See: 'Dear John,' 'I Knew You Were Trouble,' 'We Are Never Getting Back Together.')
Guys, can't we just all get along?

Sprint just can't catch a break. Weak speeds and a higher drop rate then AT&T.
The other day i had a girl run speedtest.net's app on her driod phone and it pulled 20mb/s with verizon. I couldn't believe it! I ran mine and it was pulling like 4! with ATT I am now not happy with my phone we need a 4G iphone this is crap!
20mb per second!!!??? Can you say WIFI. I do believe the current cellular "up-to" download speed is around 7.2mb/s.
i switched over to sprint from att and my data speeds are horrible. never get over 1Mbps, usually below .5Mbps. also, can't surf and talk. sprint sucks
I doubt our free public wifi is 20mbit at work. I think the connection is DSL, but I didn't even think about wifi being enabled on phone so I will have to check it out again I know the app shows a tower when it's using cellular. My first thought was the test was bogus or ran by verizon or something along the lines of power boost like time warner does with short bursts of 30mbit speeds. I knew I would be proved wrong and I was hoping so hah. Check this out though. It's not too far off at least from the 20mbit mark on the screen. They are very close, if it's true I will screen cap it and post it.
iPhone 4S vs Droid Bionic 4G LTE Speed Test (video)
I test my speed regularly and never get anywhere near 7mbps
Well I am on AT&T....on the EDGE network. 58KBPS down and 42KBPS up! I would probably play tag with a rabid wolverine if I got 1M....lol
The thing that you can do with an Android phone is run the Speedtest on wifi and, when the results come up, bring down the notification bar and turn off the wifi. Now you have a results page that shows you as connected on 3G/4G, and you can fool just about anyone (proof in this thread :P )
yeah ummmmmmmm not surprising at all that at&t is the fastest and verizon has the least dropped calls..... I am still with at&t.... but i want to go to tmobile..... my question is would tmobile be faster than at&t??? I don't care that much about dropped calls.... just call them back....
Looks like LTE is legit I did the test again today here is the proof.

Looks like LTE is legit I did the test again today here is the proof.

Also I tested my 4S with wifi on our work network and only pulled 2mb/s and it's DSL so no way to fool anyone the phone is a girls phone so she doesnt even know how to do anything like that and I ran the test myself.

text: The Boy Scouts of America was expected to consider a very major change in their policy towards gays. After "Starting Point" went off the air, the Scouts announced they would put off the decision to lift their national ban on gay scouts and gay leaders until May. If it does happen, local troops would then be able to decide on their own whether or not they'd accept gays. Jennifer Tyrrell, former Cub Scout den leader in Ohio, says the organization dismissed her for being a lesbian. On Monday she led a group to the Boy Scout's headquarters near Dallas. They dropped off a petition to end the ban on gays which they say had 1.4 million signatures on it. This morning, Tyrrell talks with Soledad on "Starting Point" about the fight for equality in the Boy Scouts. Tyrrell explains how it was her 7-year-old son who got her involved with the organization.

Nice place, bar tenders are very friendly and nice. The Teddy Rosevelt bar is beautiful with history to go with it.
Great Place filled with history. It is very interesting to see. Delightful staff and good drink specials.
The Elks isn't trendy. It is mostly as I remember it from many years back. That means nice service, white table cloths, included apps such as liver pate with crudites and always great prime rib. Walleye and steaks are also favorites.
Not just a Elks Lodge a must see and history lesson too The Teddy Rosevelt bar is the same bar Teddy was shot at in Medora ND the Bullet hole is still in the bar read the menu for the full story burger bar and two full restaurants
This is an excellent restaurant....with everything from burgers to steak. The garlic toast and chicken liver pate is the best I have ever had. Friendly and professional staff.

As an Elks member in another state, I always love to see a lodge open every day and serving meals. But more than that, I was impressed with the menu choices and quality of food. Steaks, seafood, pasta, burgers, duck....nearly anything you can think of. I went with the seafood platter and it was good. Nice portions, fair price and... More
I go specifically for the Patae. It is so good. The meals are very good, great service, beautiful atmosphere. Need to be a member is the only drawback but there is usually one around who will get you in...I'm not a member but eat there often.
Ate in the dining room and was very uncomfortable with outdoor temperatures close to 90 and the indoor temperature was in the 80s. When I asked about the airconditioning, tney said there is none and they just recirculate the air. HOWEVER, when I stepped into the bar, guess what? It was cool in there. Even though the food was OK,... More

The global economic picture remains mixed, from growth to recession to stagnation, depending on where you happen to live. Once rapidly growing economies such as Brazil are now struggling to maintain pace, and are beset with political turmoil. China, the darling of emerging markets of recent memory, is now facing expansive structural reforms and a global market that perhaps cannot sustain its rapid expansion. In each of these places, people hope for continued or renewed efforts towards prosperity, but practical sentiments vary from region to region. Pew looked at how these people felt about their short term economic prospects.
With that in mind, here's a look at 6 of the world's major economies and how their people are feeling right now:
1.) China
China's continued economic slowdown is well documented, and the country is forecasting the slowest growth rate in over two decades. Manufacturing continues to weaken there, but the country is taking steps at moving towards a freer market and opening up the full potential of Chinese consumers and businesses. The country has scrapped restrictions on lending rates, and plans to liberalize its tightly controlled yuan in the future, already experimenting with ways to do so. Despite the mixed news, though, the Chinese public remains optimistic, with 80 percent feeling positively about their economy in the short run.

No post tomorrow. I m heading out of town absurdly early in the morning and won t be back until dinnertime.
I m off to be part of the third Ethics Workshop for working journalists, put on through the combined efforts of the venerable Poynter Institute and Kent State University s J school.
As event literature explains:
The workshop includes frank discussion, practical tips for working journalists, and real case studies to dissect and debate. New topics this year include dilemmas for online journalism.
That s where I come in, apparently.
I m scheduled (a late addition, I believe) to be on this panel: Are There Ethics in Cyberspace?
Among the questions my fellow panelists and I will kick around (or so the seminar literature promises) are these: Does user-generated content make everybody a journalist? What do we do about online hate speech vs. free speech? We re also going to learn more about Poynter s Guidebook for Online Ethics.
Before I go, I d love to hear from anyone now reading this.
Re: online journalism -- Do you have any particular concerns or interests or questions or statements or .?

McConnell: KY Exchange Unconnected To Obamacare
But the veteran senator won't say what would happen to the 421,000 Kentuckians who have health insurance through the state's health care exchange.
McConnell told reporters Friday that the fate of the state exchange is unconnected to the federal health care law. Yet the exchange would not exist, if not for the law that created it.
Democratic candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes has embraced the state exchange. But she won't say if she would have voted for the law had she been in office.
The two are vying in a nationally-watched race for McConnell's Senate seat. Republicans need to gain six seats in the November elections to control the Senate.

For this week's Designer Dailies, Australian designer Brodie Neill, who we love most for his ultra-contemporary lighting and seating, brings us through a jam packed day of travel, commerce, cuisine and culture. The day begins in London and ends in Copenhagen, while we go along with his taking in meetings, museums, and two of Denmark's best cultural contributions — food and design.
8:00 AM: The day begins with a dash to cross London east to west, catching the all important Heathrow Express from Paddington Station. On board and with 15 minutes down time, I quickly check my emails and download updates to my iPad, ready for the flight to Copenhagen.
8:30 AM: With beautiful sunlight steaming through the window and high above the clouds, I decided to put aside the iPad and get into my day through a more "traditional" method.
8:45 AM: One of those classic shots you take — the infinite horizon and the scaled heights of mankind.
9:00 AM: This is my favorite sketchbook; my girlfriend bought for me in Tasmania earlier this year. The yellow binding is a later addition in an effort to prevent losing the ideas forever.
11:30 AM (Copenhagen time): I was welcomed to Copenhagen with a cold chill, but plenty of warm hospitality and typically Scandinavian efficiency. Here I am checking into the Hotel Guldsmeden, which offers laid back luxury with excellent eco operating principals. The staff was very welcoming, informative and the breakfast was off the charts!
12:00 PM: At midday I made my way to the Inner City region of Copenhagen to meet with Thomas Lykke of OeO, a design consultancy working with some of the best Danish and international brands.
12:30 PM: Over lunch we discussed many projects, the state of design, and the unique bond between Tasmania and Denmark.
3:30 PM: I am starting to feel the effect of the early start I made back in London, so it's off to a highly recommended café for a mid-afternoon re-boost. Coffee Collective roasts onsite and is the trailblazer of Copenhagen's coffee scene.
4:00 PM: Design Museum Danmark is a must for any design fan in Copenhagen. It's where I spent the remainder of my Friday afternoon, browsing the collections, both new and old. (Editor's Note: we were just there too!)
4:20 PM: Admiring the masters. Not only here at the Design Museum Danmark but throughout Copenhagen, the classic design work of the Danish masters is implemented and admired. Sculptural, elegant, almost effortless examples of Danish lighting like these Louis Poulsen suspension lights overhead are found everywhere, but they are still as fresh and still as vibrant as ever.
4:40 PM: We cannot forget the amazing design contribution put forward by the creative visionary Verner Panton. His designs are still revered as contemporary, maybe even futuristic, but certainly elegant and sculptural. Who could forget such an eye opening interior like this red and purple combo?
4:50 PM: Taking it all in, from the classic Danish glass work to the almost ancient Scandinavian boat building techniques, it's all very inspirational, the making, the method.
8:00 PM: On referral from the staff at the Hotel Guldsmeden we headed to the nearby Meatpacking District of Copenhagen to dine at Fiskebar. Unlike the Meatpacking District of New York, Copenhagen's equivalent still operates as a commercial meat distribution point, with slick refurbished restaurants and bars scattered amongst trade depots.
8:45 PM: The food at Fiskebar was amazing. From produce though to presentation, it was all carefully considered and curated. Add to this their rich design heritage. I cannot believe I haven't come here sooner.
Thanks, Brodie!

Darkfall (Healing Wars Series #3)
by Janice HardyWar has come.
Nya's the one who brought it. And the people love her for it.
With Baseer in shambles and Geveg now an impenetrable military stronghold, Nya and the Underground have fled to a safer location—without Tali. Nya is guilt-ridden over leaving her sister behind and vows to find her, but with the rebellion in full swing and refugees flooding
Editorial Reviews
In this final installment ofThe Healing Warsseries, warrior Nya desperately searches for her missing sister while fighting to preserve her heritage even as the Duke of Baseer prepares to invade Geveg.
Fifteen-year-old Nya, her sweetheart Danello and compatriots in the underground resistance hide on a farm after Nya destroys the Duke's palace in Baseer by flashing pain. Notorious for her unique ability to shift and push pain, Nya secretly returns to Geveg hoping to find her sister, Tali. When a corps of Undying, the Duke's mindless soldiers trained to endure and inflict pain, attack Nya, Tali is among them. Devastated to discover her alien, brainwashed sister, Nya fears Tali will never be the same. With the Duke's forces approaching, Nya's reputation as a fighter rallies Geveg's embattled citizens, who embrace her as the leader they desperately need. Tempted to take Tali and flee, Nya can't deny her heritage and, with help from her friends and allies, reluctantly prepares to defend her city. A conflicted, complex heroine to the end, Nya anguishes over the potential pain and death she will trigger to preserve what she loves.
Though lacking some of the punch and rapid-fire excitement of the first two volumes, the finale offers suspense, resolution of prior wrongs, the sweetness of first love and a battle-tested heroine who fights with her head and heart.(Fantasy. 10-16)

This series may belong under 'children's book', but her words, and story, has captured me, and unlike others, Janice Hardy has really reach out to others, especially with the themes and motifs in her stories. I shall forever thank the day I found the first book, "The Shifter," and even as I grow older, the thrill and excitement that this series gives me, shall ever remain every time I read them. (:
This is one of the best series EVER!!!! The first two books were amazing and I am sooo excited to read this. I only hope that staying up till midnight was worth it. I recommend this book to any fiction lover
Wow. I am down right SHOCKED that Janice Hardy hasnt achieved James Patterson level of fame (at least) these are the freaking best books EVER (other than Lightning Theif) if you like Witch and Wizard by James Patterson or Percey Jackson and the Olympian series MUST READ
I won't lie: I was a little bit wary going into it. I don't know if it's just my bad luck as a reader, or if there's a problem endemic to YA, but at least four trilogies I've read in recent years have ended with fizzles rather than bangs, even when the first two and a half books have been great. So I am pleased to report: it does not fizzle! After spending two and a half books building up how evil the Duke is, building to a war, and building up Nya's character, the conclusion shines where other books. uh, didn't so much. It probably isn't fair to do a one-to-one comparison, but without naming any names (ahem) there was a trilogy that concluded last year where an impoverished teenage girl's main goal was to save her little sister, and as she tried to accomplish that she became the symbol of a rebellion against an oppressive government. I bring this up because some of the pitfalls of that particular book are also elements in play in Darkfall, but here they turn out solidly. The stakes of the war are equally deadly here - terrible things happen, battles are lost, and people die. Some of it is even Nya's fault. But even when bad things are happening, Nya never checks out; and even when she's being used as a figurehead, she never loses her agency. She's the one who decides to play along with questionable leaders, even when things don't feel right, and then she has to deal with the consequences. In my review of Blue Fire (the middle book in the series), I mentioned that I had a hard time tracking what happened at the climaxes in the first two books. That was actually not the case in this one - there was a heck of a lot of action happening near the end, but I never lost track of what was going on with Nya's powers and the Duke's weapons. Aside from improving on what I found to be the previous book's main weakness, the conclusion maintained all of its strengths: the worldbuilding is great, Nya's voice is strong and she's fun to read about, and the story is compelling. The only tiny quibble I had was that I don't think we got to know one of the characters who died very well beforehand, so it didn't have quite the impact it should have. That's an extremely minor complaint, though. The book is a solid five cupcakes, leaving the series as a whole at four and a half.
I love these books! I stayed up till one fifteen finnishing the first one and i finnished the second one the day i got it. You NEED to read these books!!!!!
Very good book!
I have not gotten this book yet, but I have the other two. This series is amazing and I can not wait to read this one. If you are looking for another amazing series to read, check out the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson.
Very pleased hiw they continued the story. Not dissapoimted at all.
I absolutely LOVED the first book. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
Wow!!!!! All i can say is that that wad a amazing book!!!!!!! I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!
I thought this book was amazing, her characters stuck to their personalities and the plot was carried through the entire way. I liked that Talia wasn't healed completely when she was found, that Janice Hardy let you know that not everything can be fixed perfectly right away.
Excellent conclusion to the Healing Wars series. All the pieces weave together well without feeling forced. Nya's actions ring true, especially when she's making mistakes and trying deal with people's adulation. The symmetry between her healing Danello and facing the Duke is a nice touch, and both Tali's and Aylin's reactions to their situations bring added depth. If anything, this third book is even more complex and action packed than the first two, making it a read I couldn't put down.

Once you have mentioned your haunted house in a shaving commercial, you are pro.
Haunting Copy, I'm not sure but I think you may have mistaken maliciousstudios as the one who started this thread, but it was me.
If I'm wrong, I apologize, it just seemed that way to me because of your reply.
Once you have mentioned your haunted house in a shaving commercial, you are pro.
lol..... "men who want the edge in the haunt idustry use Edge Pro Gel "
Sometimes you're cool and contained. But other times it feels good to get into a real lather. Edge Pro Gel is dispensed as a gel, but oh, baby, look what happens when you rub it onto your face. It lathers right up for a sinfully luxurious shave. Extra lubricants allow your razor to simply glide across your face, making it especially nice for guys with sensitive skin. You need only a dab of gel per shave, so this aerosol can will last and lather for a good long time.
Quote from Richard Johnson owner of THE WORLDS SCARIEST HAUNTED ATTRACTION:
Hello Folks ! Hi my name is Richard Johnson, you may heard of me Im the owner of THE WORLDS SCARIEST HAUNTED ATTRACTION. All of us here at Malicious Manor ( THE WORLD SCARIEST HAUNTED ATTRACTION ) start every day with a good shave, and when we shave we like to stay on the edge with all we do in the haunted house industry as well as in the bathroom.
Thats why we use Edge Pro Gel..... Edge Pro Gel Helps us look and feel like a pros, it goes on smooth and helps me look smooth as we stress out over animatronics and air compressors.
We wouldnt start a season without it....get yours TODAY !!!

Okay, Malicious, that shaving cream thing was too funny!
That's pretty good!
Now if you will notice off in our asylum in room #2, Bob here thinks edge is so great, he has completely shaved his entire body and now thinks he is a dolfin!?! <insert Dolfin chirp>
The undefeated 1973 Dolphins?
They were all that clean shaven??
Maybe he thinks he's Gertrude Ebberly?
Ok heres my in put on the whole professional haunt idea.
A haunt should be considered professional if they treat there haunt as a business, and present themselves and there haunt professionally.
Also you dont need to rent a building or make a profit. As hard as it to accept there are a few home haunts that are very much professional.
For example there are buisnesses that people run out of there home that are extremely professional. There are also professional organizations that dont make a profit. There are even professional events and organizations that dont make a profit and are even considered non-profit organizations.
This means that there could be non-profit, charity, home haunts. and even quick haunts that dont rent out buildings, that should be considered proffesional.
This is the dictionary definition
"Professional-exhibiting a courteous, conscientious, and generally businesslike manner in the workplace"
Hope you all understand my general concept. Thank you and let me know what you think.
Dark Mind,
Yes there are catagoires of many haunts, Ben Gave a great listing. But at least to me being a pro haunter is anybody that gives a huge chunck of their lives to it.
Buiding and operating a haunt is a huge peice of your time, money and devotion.
If you give up family time, miss important dates, or in my case stop fishing to build and operate or manage a haunt i think you should at least be considered a pro haunter.
Im not an owner but i have worked for two great haunts now, im most definetly one of the few that give major time to our event, Im managment, I run our make up department as well as do seminars and teach it, i run our hayride, im one of three builders, i do a lot of the set designing, i even try to get sponsorships occasionally. I fully understand the haunt bussiness. Yet i don't own the haunt.
Does that not make me a pro haunter? Because ever day i pick up a hammer or drill im thinking Pro Haunt, every time i have somebody in my chair im thinking Pro make up, everytime i teach a new kid ten different ways to work his spot im teaching him on a pro level.
So Dark Mind, Great Question. I guess it's how you look at it, is there something on your resume that graduates you to Pro Haunter? Only you will know.
The number your looking for is not how many through the door, it's how many hours it owns you!

I wonder if Maine will see any red balloons (http://www.10balloonies.com/2009/12/enlisting-geocachers-for-darpa.html) this Saturday?
View Full Version : FTF race of a different color... tat 12-03-2009, 05:36 PM I wonder if Maine will see any red balloons (http://www.10balloonies.com/2009/12/enlisting-geocachers-for-darpa.html) this Saturday? Haffy 12-03-2009, 05:45 PM I did notice on a FB post that Jeremy Irish of Groundspeak fame is going to donate the 40 grand plus 10 extra grand to Donorschoose.org programs if they find all 10 balloons. I'm sure he has many geocachers out there waiting for the day to come. They won't be available for finding til Saturday the 5th for one day only. Another site to check out the info. http://www.insidegnss.com/node/1781#Baseband_Technologies_Inc_ Haffy 12-03-2009, 06:49 PM It seems that Jeremy Irish has created a war room for the DARPA challenge this Saturday: http://www.10balloonies.com/ tat 12-04-2009, 01:15 PM From Jeremy Irish, owner of Groundspeak: "As part of the nationwide DARPA event to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Interwebs, we're enlisting geocachers to be part of a fun social networking/GPS technology challenge. The challenge is to be the first to submit the locations of 10 moored, 8-foot, red, weather balloons at 10 fixed locations in the continental United States. The winner will receive $40,000. If Groundspeak wins the challenge we will throw in another $10,000 of our own money and the full $50,000 prize will go to schools that need GPS equipment through donorschoose.org (http://www.donorschoose.org/)." tat 12-04-2009, 01:23 PM The balloons will be flying in frequently visited, public places. They will not be in remote areas. The balloons on the east coast will only fly for about 6 hours, starting at 10am. There are already a number of groups trying to be the first to find all 10 balloons. But, of all the posible social networks, what group could posibly be more capable than Geocachers?!! So, make sure your instant notifications are on tomorrow and check in often. If you do spot a balloon, make sure you send a note to firstname.lastname@example.com (firstname.lastname@example.com) as soon as posible! tat 12-05-2009, 02:38 PM Posible sighting on Portland Mainiac1957 12-05-2009, 03:43 PM That would be too cool!;) tat 12-05-2009, 09:44 PM Looks like the MIT team won :( Groundspeak found at least 8 out of 10. The nearest balloon to Maine was in Delaware. |

The 3-band compressor/limiter is highly effective, enabling you to wring the maximum level out of your track. It also scores highly on the ease-of-use front - the Finalize Matrix is a masterstroke, has all the settings you will need and puts them within easy reach. The Spectral Balance is like a 3-band EQ, but these knobs raise and lower the levels of the 3 compressed bands before limiting. The soft-clippers do a great job in holding the level at 0dB, the look-ahead delay is very effective in this regard also. The degree of interfacing round the back is staggerring, with digital I/O on coax, XLR and optical in S/PDIF, AES/EBU and Toslink formats.
This may not appeal to the pros who have the cash (and patience) for a fully-fledged Finalizer, but for those of us with home studios and a yearning for a big sound, this is a dream come true.
