It seems my big-bucks fancy-shmancy graphics card decided to fizzle out on me. On a Saturday morning, too. The very nerve. That's prime leisure time, folks! So I was left with a perfectly good computer system and a working monitor, and no way to see anything.
The temporary solution was to run down to the local office store, and buy their cheapest card. I won't be playing Crysis maxed out, but I can see. The next step, of course, is to RMA the card, which means playing who's-on-first with the vendor and the manufacturer. Oh, joy.
I freely confess to being a PC geek. I'm not a coder, and frankly get baffled by fairly simple networking problems, but I'm a gearhead. I like to build my own rigs, and tend to research components to a ridiculous degree, draw up parts lists, track prices and tech trends, and then save up and build my uber-PC.
For those fellow geeks out there, the (currently dead) card is a Sapphire Radeon 5870. For me it hit the sweet spot of price, performance, heat and noise. I got it as part of a complete build earlier this year (along with an i7-920 processor, an Asus X58 motherboard, Windows 7 64-bit, etc...), when I decided that my six year old rig "Frankenstein", was getting old and inadequate.
I loved Franky. Franky was indeed a monster: huge server-size full tower case, cutting edge (at the time) components, and most importantly, my homebrewed watercooling system.
To the uninitiated and sane, the concept of buying the finest, most expensive electronic components you can afford, and then putting them in direct proximity to running water is simply not rational. The concept, however, is valid and fascinating. Quite simply, water has greater thermal capacity than air. It will absorb and transfer more heat. The cooler the system, the better it can perform. If you are overclocking your rig for performance (or just hot-rodding it for fun), heat is your enemy.
Suddenly things like turbulence, boundary layers, thermal interface materials, lapping, etc... take over your thoughts.
You research and buy pumps, hoses, custom waterblocks, radiators, etc... The end result can be exhilarating, and...
Franky sat by my desk for six years, much as you see him here - no side panel, funky bluish-green tubes, and about the height and weight of a small child. An ugly small child.
My wife hated it.
My study is not the study she had in mind for me. She wanted shelves of elegant, leather-bound volumes of literature and philosophy, a fine desk and chair; oak and dark green leather, perhaps. What she got was my old college bookshelves crammed double-deep and sideways with Heinlein, Robert E. Howard, Burroughs, horror anthologies, etc... Family photos competed for space with Zeppelin and Pink Floyd CD's. One side of the room dominated by an old card table covered in a canvas dropcloth and littered with screwdrivers, files, stones, lubricants and assorted gun parts. My framed degrees and her picture on the wall, right next to the rifle rack.
All this she accepted, but she hated Franky.
So, when he became long in the tooth, and started running out of hard drive space, the petition for a new system was accepted. And this one is aircooled. The case is the HAF 932, High Air Flow, black, badass and elegant. High-volume, large diameter fans - actually quieter than the old rig. Should allow me to overclock the i7 from 2.66 GHz up to 4-ish easy.
I'm happy, she's happy. Now I just need to get my gaming card back, and resume killing zombies.
Happy trails,

Army chaplain to give 9/11 sermon near ground zero
Former Marine weaves personal experiences in reconciliation message
Published 10:24 pm, Friday, August 28, 2015
New York
An Army chaplain has won a national prize for an original sermon that he will deliver on Sept. 11 at a chapel near ground zero that became a sanctuary of consolation after the terrorist attacks.
The Rev. David Peters, of Austin, Texas, will give his winning sermon during a special morning service at St. Paul's Chapel.
The inaugural Reconciliation Preaching Prize competition was launched by the Parish of Trinity Church, which includes St. Paul's Chapel. It required all entries to address texts from Isaiah and Matthew — one calling for a future without war and the other instructing people to lay down their spears for plowshares.
Peters, a former Marine who became an Army chaplain during the Afghanistan war, said he entered the national contest because he realized how 9/11 has shaped his life.
After that day, "the world changed for us," the 39-year-old said in his sermon titled "Learning War and Reconciliation" in which he weaves his personal experiences.
"It's astounding how difficult reconciliation can be ... Just like the Marine Corps didn't just teach me to do war, they taught me to be war, we have to learn to be reconciliation," wrote Peters, who is working toward a master's degree in religion at the Seminary of the Southwest and is an assistant parish priest at Grace Episcopal Church in Georgetown, Texas.
Reconciliation starts with the "recognition of our own reconciliation," added Peters, who was a youth minister at a Pennsylvania church at the time of the attacks.
"In his powerful first-hand testimony, David preaches the message that reconciliation is learned and has to be practiced," said Trinity's rector, the Rev. Dr. William Lupfer. "It is our hope that his words will comfort those struggling with contemporary events and that they will foster understanding beyond the walls of our sanctuary and remembrance of 9/11."

Went shopping at the mall...what I saw
Went 'flitting' through the mall Friday night... a.. I was amazed at the number and colors of what I call 'shells' available - and many in quite nice quality knits and fabrications. Most of them were sleeveless. I just don't ever remember seeing so many of this wardrobe basic in RTW before... b.. Though what I've read says softer colors (better for us aging baby-boomers) - that is NOT what I saw. The main color that jumped out at me was a fairly bright coral. The 'pink' of this year? Could be death to very cool-undertoned complexions imho... c.. Picked up some chenille sweaters for myself at $7! I work in my basement much of the year where it is quite cool, and these are just right for me. loved those bargains! February and August are the months to both buy the new at introductory sales, and spend time shopping the sales racks... d.. Had to giggle to myself at all the simple tie belts thrown onto jeans and elevated pricing....think I'll attack my stash and make some up to sell at the fine arts fairs I do with my creative wearables... e.. Anyone else? Been shopping? Impressions... ??Londa

I licked it, licked it gently, licked it hard. Then I see your black coal shoes. Walking towards me, instinctively, the plan back fired. Because you asked: Bakit? Bakit ka nagkaganyan?

|Wigan are 13/8 to be relegated this season with BetVictor
McCarthy admitted that the late goal could prove pivotal come the end of the season but said he was not surprised to see his team-mate hit the back of the net.
"The goal is a piece of magic and he does that day in, day out in training and thankfully he pulled us out of a big hole yesterday," he told the club's official website.
"Conceding so late on was a blow for us but we were desperate not to be beaten so we're really happy that Shaun scored when he did.
"The emotion at the time of our goal was brilliant and it could be a moment that really, really counts come the end of the season."
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez was critical of his side's performance after the game but McCarthy is backing his team to improve next time out when they face Millwall at Wembley in the FA Cup on Saturday.
"We're gutted that we didn't play well and we didn't make the man advantage count," he continued.
"It would have been a massive three points for them but it turned into a huge point for us, especially with the FA Cup semi-final coming up.
"The point gives us something to kick on from in the league once we return to league action against Manchester City."

The Conservative Party in Canada has officially removed opposition to same-sex marriage from the party policies. The term used is "obsolete." Keep in mind that same-sex marriage was made legal in Canada 11 years ago. And that the Conservative Party lost power to the Liberals last year.

PJSC Polyus (MOEX — PLZL) («Polyus», the «Company»), the largest gold producer in Russia, provides the following update on the Company's Vostochny pit, situated within the Olimpiada mine, which had the production temporarily suspended following an incident on the 23 May 2016 when, as a result of rock slide, a pit wall failure occurred, causing a landslide of up to 70,000 cubic meters of rock.
Once all recovery procedures were completed, the Company embarked on a series of tests in order to ascertain the cause of the incident. These tests confirmed that the rock deformation was isolated to the location of the landslide and that there was no further displacement. The landslide occurred as a result of the effects of a drastic seasonal thermal differential on the structural rocks of different composition, density and hardness in the deformation area at a specific junction.
On 1 June 2016, ore mining was resumed at lower levels of the pit and since then, over 700,000 tonnes of ore have been mined. Meanwhile, the Company continues monitoring rock and highwall slope conditions.
To fully restore the transport infrastructure of the pit, Polyus will cutback the affected area of the pit wall. This involves extracting approximately 2 million cubic meters of rock mass. It is anticipated that active excavations will take 2 months to complete and will commence immediately after the necessary regulatory permits are obtained.
In the meantime, the localized cutback of the highwall is effectively an integral part of the Vostochny pit expansion project and therefore will not require any additional increase to the total volume of stripping works within the pit.
Decreased ore mining rate during the recovery work will be offset by the processing of stockpiled ore. Furthermore, in order to increase the gold grade in the ore fed to the mills at the Krasnoyarsk Business Unit (KBU), Polyus intends to undertake a number of steps, in particular re-commissioning the mothballed Zapadny pit within the Olimpiada mine and using additional amounts of accumulated refractory carbonaceous ore via an improved flow sheet. In parallel, the Company will expedite the Blagodatnoye Mill expansion.
These initiatives coupled with the KBU's solid production results for the first 5 months of 2016 relative to the business plan should enable the KBU to meet its annual production target.
Polyus (www.polyus.com) is the largest gold producer in Russia and one of the top 10 gold miners globally by ounces produced. The Company also holds the fourth largest mineral resources base in the world.
Polyus group's principal operations are located in Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk and Magadan regions and the Sakha Republic (Yakutia).
In 2015, the Company confirmed its status of one of the lowest-cost gold producers globally.

ELMER GERTZ, PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE,v.ROBERT WELCH, INC., DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. No. 69 C 1288 -- Joel M. Flaum, Judge.
Before Sprecher and Posner, Circuit Judges, and Bonsal, Senior District Judge.*fn*
Author: Sprecher
This defamation action comes before us after retrial in the district court pursuant to the mandate of the Supreme Court in Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., 418 U.S. 323, 94 S. Ct. 2997, 41 L. Ed. 2d 789 (1974). A jury found in favor of the plaintiff, Elmer Gertz, and awarded compensatory and punitive damages. We affirm.
In June, 1968, seventeen-year-old Ronald Nelson was shot and killed by Chicago police officer Richard Nuccio. Nuccio was subsequently indicted and convicted of murder. In addition to the criminal prosecution, the Nelson family retained Chicago attorney Ralla Klepak to file civil actions against Nuccio on behalf of the family. Klepak asked Elmer Gertz, a well-known, reputable Chicago attorney, to serve as co-counsel in the civil actions. Neither Gertz nor Klepak played any role in the criminal prosecution against Nuccio beyond attending the coroner's inquest to ask a few questions on behalf of the family. Gertz made no public statements or comments concerning the civil or criminal cases against Nuccio.
In April, 1969, shortly after Nuccio's initial conviction,*fn1 an article appeared in American Opinion entitled "Frame-Up-Richard Nuccio and the War on Police." American Opinion is a monthly magazine published by defendant Robert Welch, Inc. ("Welch"), a Massachusetts corporation which is an affiliate of the John Birch Society. The article alleged that Nuccio was being "railroaded" as part of a Communist conspiracy to undermine local police so as to pave the way for a national police force which would support and enforce a Communist dictatorship.
The article named Gertz as one of the members of this conspiracy. He was identified as the lawyer for the Nelson family and one of the leaders of the "attack on Nuccio." Gertz was described as a "Communist-fronter," a "Leninist," and a "Marxist."
The file on Elmer Gertz in Chicago Police Intelligence takes a big, Irish cop to lift. According to the Communist Worker of December 8, 1964, he has signed a petition to abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities. On May 12, 1966, he sponsored another such petition, published by the Illinois Division of the American Civil Liberties Union-founded by Harry F. Ward, one of the top Communists in the United States. Gertz also was a pallbearer for Jack Ruby, the "lone fanatic" who killed the "lone fanatic" who killed the President of the United States. He has been an official of the Marxist League for Industrial Democracy, originally known as the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, which has advocated the violent seizure of our government.
In fact, the only thing Chicagoans need to know about Gertz is that he is one of the original officers, and has been Vice President, of the Communist National Lawyers Guild-which has been described by the House Committee on Un-American Activities as "one of the foremost legal bulwarks of the Communist Party"-and which probably did more than any other outfit to plan the Communist attack on the Chicago police during the 1968 Democrat Convention.
Gertz was also identified as counsel to the commission which authored Dissent and Disorder, a report on the April, 1968, demonstrations in Chicago which was critical of police conduct. The article described that report as "financed by the Roger Baldwin Foundation of Communist Harry Ward's A.C.L.U."
Gertz's role in the Nuccio case, according to the article, was as a leader of "an organized attempt to discredit our local police-organized primarily by the Communist National Lawyers Guild, preeminent in which is the same Elmer Gertz who now appears as the Nelsons' lawyer." Under a photo of Gertz was the caption "Elmer Gertz of Red Guild harasses Nuccio." The article also noted that "(t)wo Chicago Assistant Corporation Counsels warned Nuccio not to testify at the coroner's inquest, for fear what he said might jeopardize their defense against Communist-fronter Gertz."
The assertion that Gertz was a Communist or part of a Communist conspiracy was false. Many of the other statements concerning his membership in particular organizations also were false. When Gertz learned of the article, he filed this diversity suit for defamation in the Northern District of Illinois. In a pre-trial ruling, the trial court held that the libelous words published by the defendant constituted libel per se. Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., 306 F. Supp. 310 (N.D.Ill.1969). Because of this ruling, injury was presumed, and, upon proof of the falsity of the statements in the article, the court submitted only the issue of damages to the jury. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Gertz and awarded damages of $50,000. The trial court, however, granted judgment notwithstanding the verdict on the basis that the subject matter of the article was of "public interest" and therefore required a showing of actual malice under the standard announced in New York Times v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 84 S. Ct. 710, 11 L. Ed. 2d 686 (1964); Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., 322 F. Supp. 997 (N.D.Ill.1970). Because the court found that actual malice had not been established, the jury's verdict could not stand. On appeal, this court affirmed. Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., 471 F.2d 801 (7th Cir. 1972).
The Supreme Court granted certiorari and reversed. Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., 418 U.S. 323, 94 S. Ct. 2997, 41 L. Ed. 2d 789 (1974). The Court disavowed the "public interest" doctrine*fn2 as a basis for requiring that actual malice be shown in suits involving defamation of private individuals. The Court further held that states could set their own standards of liability for defamation of private individuals as long as they did not impose liability without fault. Damages could not be awarded without proof of injury, however, and punitive damages required a showing of actual malice. The case was remanded for a new trial consistent with these guidelines.
On remand, Gertz amended his complaint to allege both negligence and actual malice by Welch, and requested compensatory and punitive damages. On cross-motions for summary judgment, the trial court held that, based on the law of the case, Gertz was not a public figure, but otherwise denied the motions of both parties. Shortly before trial, Welch was permitted to file an affirmative defense of conditional privilege based on the assertion that the article merely repeated statements in government publications.
After a six-day trial, the jury found in favor of Gertz and awarded compensatory damages of $100,000 and punitive damages of $300,000. It is from this judgment that Welch appeals.
Welch's initial argument is that the issue of actual malice was erroneously submitted to the jury in the second trial because the law of the case doctrine precluded the relitigation of that issue.*fn3 Welch bases this argument on the first trial court's finding, subsequently upheld by this court and the Supreme Court, that actual malice in publication of the article had not been proved. The issue of actual malice thus was foreclosed from being a basis for either liability or punitive damages. Welch would then read the Supreme Court's mandate remanding the case for a new trial as limited to the issues of whether liability existed and whether compensatory damages could be awarded predicated on a negligence theory. Because the trial court on remand determined that Welch was entitled to ...

Ever seen ads with display messages reading something like 'At-home mum makes 2000$ (or some such figure) online! Click here to know more'? Needless to say, such ads are a manifestation of work-at-home scams that have been flooding websites since time immemorial. SupportMart is here to help you recognize and avoid such fraud 'services' so you can keep your computer and money where it belongs: under your control.
When unemployment rates are high and world economy is on a downward spiral, job seekers are desperate to make money by any means. Online scam companies capitalize on this and set up booby traps for potential victims. Some companies even ask for advance payments for securing the job and acquire your bank account details on the pretext of transferring your 'salary' online. You might receive spam e-mails/ads in your account or other websites publicizing such job offers. Read on for SupportMart's round up of top online scam techniques.
1. Envelope Stuffing
You will be required to pay a small fee upfront, followed by the scam company mailing you flyers. You put up copies of these flyers in public places, advertising an easy money-making opportunity by – stuffing envelopes. To avail of the same, interested parties are required to mail you a fee, similar to what you paid the company, in a pre-addressed, pre-paid envelope. You then stuff the envelopes you received with flyers and send them to these parties so they can propagate the scam. Quite often, you end up printing more flyers to make more money, which goes down the drain, if they fail to generate any interest.
2. Home typist jobs
This one sounds quite similar to the envelope stuffing scam, only a different job: publicizing home typist jobs! When you click on a home typist job ad, you will be taken to a website asking you to pay a certain fee. Upon doing this, you will be mailed instructions and a disk containing home typist ads similar to the ones that got you here. You make money by placing these ads online and luring other unsuspecting internet users to pay you money to become home typists themselves. When they mail you money, you send copies of the instructions and disk you received from the scam company; in essence, duping others out of their money by placing home typist job ads. The only typing you would ever do is placing the ads online.
3. Call a number starting with 1-900 for more information
Numbers starting with 1-900 are NOT toll-free. Every call that gets through to such numbers generates money for the scammers.
4. Medical Billing
These scams promise to help you kick start your own medical billing business by providing you 'latest' medical billing software and a list of potential clients (medical clinics) in your area. You end up paying anything from 300$ to 900$ to get your hands on the software and the list of clients, only to realize later, most clinics do not outsource their billing to individuals, and the software you paid for, is not what's used by them anyway.
5. Chain E-mails
Similar to the previous scams that thrive on daisy chain propagation from one to another, chain e-mail scams work by asking you to send money to people on a list and append your name to the end of the list, before sending the same to another set of people. As the e-mail is shared over and over, you are supposed to be making a lot of money, only the scheme is manipulated to benefit the top few names in the list.
Steer clear of the above work-from-home scams and others like them that promise to make you rich in a short time, remember, there's no free lunch, especially not in an economy that's struggling to generate enough employment for everyone. SupportMart encourages you to read similar reviews of top grossing scams so you don't fall for them.

The old adage, "you are what you eat" is so true, not only for you but also your dog. Sure, you could survive on potato chips, but would you thrive? I doubt it. The same holds true for your dog. Sure, he could survive on the lowest quality food that there is, but he would not thrive. He will not have a nice, shiny coat. He might have dandruff or stinky ears. He won't have that sparkle to his eyes. He might have stinky gas and stools. The list can go on and on. Choosing the best dog food will help your dog to live a long, healthy, and happy life!
If you decide to feed a commercial dog food, choosing the best dog food will take some detective work. You may think that a higher priced food is a good way to go about choosing the best dog food, but that isn't always the case. Price is not a good indicator of quality. So, what do you look for when choosing the best dog food for your dog?
Choosing the best dog food will require you to read the labels on the food. Labels, pictures, and descriptions on the bag can sometimes be misleading. Some foods with nice pictures of fresh fruits and vegetables and nice looking chunks of meat are deceptive. Some foods labeled as "holistic," "natural," and "wholesome" are anything but. There is no standard definition or requirements for dog food manufacturers to place these claims on their food.
Although I am a firm believer of home-cooking (mostly because I control what goes into the food and can guarantee the quality and freshness of the ingredients), there are some high quality commercial dog foods available. Keep in mind that even if you feed a high quality dog food, it is wise to still supplement the food with a good multivitamin, digestive enzymes and Omega 3 fish oil.
You may think that all you need to do to get a high quality food for your pet is to go to a dog boutique. I wouldn't count on it. Most vets generally know very little about nutrition and what goes into making a good or bad dog food. But the truth is most vets have only a few minutes of training in vet school about nutrition. And often, they are misled by sales reps into thinking that a particular dog food is high quality when it's not. They can get duped just like you and me by fancy, colorful labels.
So in choosing the best dog food for your dog, you will alone on your venture.
Let's first take a look at some of the bad stuff in commercial dog food.
- Additives and preservatives. Anything processed must have preservatives in it to keep it from spoiling. The most common artificial preservatives used are ethoxyquin, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylated hydrosyanisole (BHA). There are natural preservatives to can be used, vitamin e and vitamin c. Some common additives are: artificial colors and flavors, propyl gallate and propylene glycol. These additives and preservatives are linked to a variety of serious illnesses. They can cause seizures, liver and kidney problems, cancer and more. When choosing the best food for your dog, don't assume that just because a particular additive or preservative is not listed on the label that it is not added to the food. This is because it is only required for a manufacturer to list the ingredients that they add to the food, many manufacturers get ingredients that have these additives and preservatives added by their suppliers and they are not required to add this to the ingredient list.
- Grains. Depending on what school of thought you belong to, some people believe that dogs are not meant to eat grains and some say they are. I personally believe that grains are ok, as long as they are good quality grains. Corn is definitely a bad grain, whereas brown rice is a higher quality grain.
- By-products and un-named meat meals. Not all by-products and meals are bad, but if possible avoid them if they are listed as meat or poultry by-products or meals. Generally speaking by-products and meals are what is leftover after all of the desirable things are removed. By-products and meals usually what is considered unfit for human consumption. If the by-product or meal is from a named source, for example; beef by-product or lamb meal, etc., it is considered to be of higher quality.
- An un-named fat source. Just like by-products or meals, you always want to see exactly what the ingredient is. "Animal fat" can be anything, it can be restaurant grease or fat from roadkill or a 4-d farm animal.
- Added sweeteners. You wouldn't think that sugar would be an ingredient in your dog's food. But, unfortunately, some dog foods are unappealing to dogs and they wouldn't eat it without something enticing it. On a side note, have you ever noticed the greasy look and feel to some dog food bags? That's because after being made, some manufacturers spray fat on the food to make it more appealing so your dog will eat it. I would probably eat anything soaked in fat to. The sad tricks that some manufacturers do to make us think that our dogs love their food.
Now that you know what bad things to look for in your venture of choosing the best dog food, here are a few things that you want to check for in your dog's food.
- A named meat source in the top ingredients. Ingredients must be listed by weight, so you want to see meat sources like beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, etc. at the top. You don't want to see your meat sources listed as meat or poultry, these can be from varying sources and you want to know what actual meat source is being used.
- Whole fruits and vegetables. All of the good stuff in fruits and vegetables are found in the whole fruit or whole vegetable, not just certain parts. Although it is ok if the parts are listed farther down, but generally look for things like blueberries, peas, tomatoes, green beans, etc.
- Check the "best by date." You don't want to be feeding food that has been sitting on the shelf for months. For dry foods the ideal "best by date" is 10-11 months away. Some "best by dates" can be years away, that's no good, it could mean that artificial preservatives like BHA, BHT, or ethoxyquin are being used.
Here is a dog food comparison tool from Natura Pet Food. You can compare different foods to their food.
Well now that you have an idea of some of the good and bad things to be looking for on your quest to choosing the best dog food, good luck and Godspeed.

Asp.net tutorials from various resources from the internet
Asp.net is a giant in the world of Web Development. It is the advanced version of the classical ASP but it has more to offer such as CLR, CLR, No Spaghetti Code, Web Forms and MVC forms respectively.
Benefits of Asp.Net
Additionally to supporting regular HTML input controls, ASP.NET enables developers to utilize richer custom controls on their pages.
1. ASP.NET Web Forms offer an easy and powerful way to make dynamic Web UI.
2. ASP.NET Web Forms pages can aim any browser client (there are no script library or cookie requirements).
3. ASP.NET Web Forms pages gives syntax compatibility with on hand ASP pages.
4. ASP.NET server controls provide a simple way to encapsulate regular functionality.
5. ASP.NET featured with 45 built-in server controls. Developers can also use controls built by third parties.
6. ASP.NET server controls can automatically project both up level and down level HTML.
7. ASP.NET templates offer an easy way to modify the look and feel of list server controls.
8. ASP.NET validation controls provide an simple way to do declarative client or server data validation.
I have shared some great stuff from the internet based upon Asp.Net.Read about these tutorials thoroughly at your own pace. It will hardly take 2-3 hours.
The reason behind these shares is to utilize the time so that I could write some more stuff about Information Technology and latest technologies.

David De Gea has been the best goalkeeper in the Premier League this season, except in one key area.
There is no denying that the Spaniard has been the standout goalkeeper this campaign, with his shot stopping ability being much of the reason the Red Devils are sat inside the top four.
Single handedly keeping his side in games, the 24-year-old has been remarkably responsible for United's stabilisation under Louis van Gaal, and his form has seen him linked with a return to Spain, with Real Madrid keen on poaching him away from Old Trafford with his contract expiring at the end of next season.
However, when the season started, all the focus was on Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois, who was set to make his first appearance at Stamford Bridge since originally transferring to the club in 2011. A three-year loan with Atletico Madrid has seen the 22-year-old win La Liga, the Europa League and reach the Champions League Final, whilst also claiming two Zamora trophies as his own.
Many were expecting him to enter the Premier League and retain his place as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. and whilst enjoying a good season, it has been the form of De Gea that has seen the Belgian international fall by the wayside.
Despite De Gea's form, there is one are where Courtois has proven his excellence - his ability to claim crosses.
Renowned for his nonchalance in the penalty area, Courtois hardly ever looks flustered when rushing out to claim the ball, and he has an incredible 100% record for claiming crosses this season, despite the more physical play of centre-forwards in the Premier League. He has successfully caught all 51 of the crosses faced this season, as per HLN, and has also won a further four punches in side the box.
De Gea similarly has a 100% record for cross claiming, but he has attempted just 12 - a much lower tally than Courtois.

Click on the below article link to obtain background information to this blog post:
Todays article was inspired by Oprah's Super Soul Sunday's interview with spiritual speaker, Russell Simmons. They discussed his success and how much he attributes this to his spiritual endeavors. Russell devotes much of his time to meditation and yoga. In his work he creates music as an offering to world. He feels once you find your own bliss within, you do not see the world as a void but as a vast place for your offering to manifest.
He spoke of happiness coming from inside out instead of the outside in; once you realize this, you'll define and find your own success apart from the world's view.
I have let meditation slip off of my priority list; I'll be putting it on the top again in order to calm my world. As Russell has realized, this place that can be reached once we still ourselves is pure and serene. It is a little piece of heaven that exists within each of us. Why wouldn't we want to visit this realm as often as possible?
Do you meditate? Have you ever tried it? It will help cleanse your thoughts; it soothes and aligns you with your natural rhythm.
Have you had any self-discoveries while in this mode? If so, share them with me.

United States District Court, W.D. Pennsylvania
November 3, 2014
DRONE TECHNOLOGIES, INC., Plaintiff,v.PARROT S.A., PARROT, INC., Defendants.
ARTHUR J. SCHWAB, District Judge.
Defendants, through their counsel, [1] have engaged in a systematic campaign to willfully defy this Court's Orders, prevent Plaintiff from receiving evidence necessary to develop its case-in-chief on infringement, delay the prosecution of this case, and substantially increase the costs, efforts, and time expended by Plaintiff to complete discovery and prepare for trial on liability issues. Defendants' legal and factual positions as to whether they have complied with the Court's Orders, or why they have not complied, are ever-changing, inconsistent, and appear to be designed to thwart justice in this case.[2] Defendants' continual motions practice, lack of candor with the Court, and other conduct, has effectively impeded "the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination [of this] action...." Fed.R.Civ.P. 1.
I. Introduction
The proceedings in this case have been fraught with disagreements over the most basic disclosure and discovery matters. In just over nine (9) months, the Court has had to intervene because of disputes related to initial disclosures, Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR"), and depositions, among other routine matters. The most persistent dispute between the Parties relates to the scope and the method of production of Court-ordered initial disclosures. Defendants have been required to produce specific information as part of their initial disclosures, as ordered by this Court and in compliance with the Local Patent Rules of this District Court, since July 9, 2014. Doc. No. 48. After numerous unsuccessful attempts to evade this obligation through motions practice, and over four months later, Defendants still have not complied with this Court's Orders.
The Parties have filed almost a dozen Motions related to standard pre-trial proceedings, and the Court has ruled accordingly:
Defendants' Motion to Stay Pending Inter Partes Review (May 7, 2014, Doc. No. 17);
Which was denied by this Court on May 19, 2014 (Doc. No. 29);
Defendants' Motion for Clarification of the Protective Order to Include a Limited Patent Prosecution Bar (May 27, 2014, Doc. No. 35);
Which was denied by this Court on May 30, 2014 (05/30/14 Text Order);
Defendants' Motion to Bifurcate Discovery and Trial (June 27, 2014, Doc. No. 44);
Which was denied by this Court on July 9, 2014 (07/09/14 Text Order);
Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Initial Disclosure Documents (June 19, 2014, Doc. No. 41);
Which was granted by this Court on July 1, 2014: Defendants were ordered to comply on or before July 9, 2014 (Doc. No. 48);
Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Attendance at the ADR [Session] of a Decision Maker Who Has Full Settlement Authority (July 1, 2014, Doc. No. 49);
Which was denied by this Court on July 8, 2014 (Doc. No. 54);
Defendants' Emergency Motion for Reconsideration of this Court's July 1, 2014 Order (July 3, 2014, Doc. No. 51);
Which was denied by this Court on July 8, 2014 (07/08/2014 Text Order);
Defendants' Motion to Compel the Deposition of Mr. Bruce Ding (July 8, 2014, Doc. No. 57);
Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Defendants to Obey this Court's July 1, 2014 Order (July 22, 2014, Doc. No. 61);
Which was granted by this Court on July 25, 2014: Defendants were given until August 13, 2014, to comply with the July 1, 2014 Order (Doc. No. 63);
Defendants' Emergency Motion to Modify the Protective Order (August 1, 2014, Doc. No. 64);
Which was denied by this Court (August 7, 2014, Doc. No. 70);
Defendants' Motion to Compel the 30(B)(6) Deposition of Drone Technologies, Inc. and the Depositions of Mr. Bruce Ding and Ms. Diane Lee (August 11, 2014, Doc. No. 72);
Which was granted in part and denied in part by this Court on August 19, 2014 (Doc. No. 81);
Defendants' Motion for Relief from the Court's Order Dated July 25, 2014, or in the Alternative, for a Stay Pending a Petition for Writ of Mandamus (August 13, 2014, Doc. No. 74); and
Which was denied by this Court (August 14, 2014, Doc. No. 77).
Presently before this Court is Plaintiff's Motion for Order to Show Cause Why Defendants Should Not be Held in Contempt. Doc. No. 78. A hearing was held on October 23, 2014. Doc. No. 99. Karin Wittkotter, Parrot SA's Head of Legal, and Francois Callou, a Drone Project Manager at Parrot SA, testified during this hearing. Doc. No. 99.
II. Background of the Western District of Pennsylvania's Participation in the Patent Pilot Program and Local Patent Rule 3.1
A. Patent Pilot Program
The United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania enacted Local Patent Rules, which took effect on April 1, 2005, and have been applied to any "civil action in which the infringement, validity or enforceability of a utility patent is an issue...." LPR 1.4. This District is one of the 14 United States District Courts that have been chosen to participate in a 10-year patent cases pilot program designed "to encourage enhancement of expertise in patent cases among district judges." Pub.L.No. 111-349-Jan. 4, 2011, 124 Stat. 3674, 28 U.S.C. § 137. In January, 2011, the Honorable Gary L. Lancaster, former Chief Judge of the Western District of Pennsylvania, appointed himself, the Honorable Joy Flowers Conti (now Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania), the Honorable Nora Barry Fischer, and this Court, as "Designated Patent Judges" to hear cases arising under any Act of Congress relating to patents. In re: Implementation of Patent Pilot Program, Misc. No. 11-00283, Oct. 12, 2011. Since that time, the Honorable Cathy Bissoon and the Honorable Mark R. Hornak have also been designated as Patent Judges for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
B. Local Patent Rule 3.1
The United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania's Local Patent Rules apply to all patent cases pending before this Court, and are promulgated as authorized by, and subject to, the limitations of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 83. LPR 1.1.
Rule 3.1 of the Local Patent Rules governs initial disclosures and provides, in relevant part, that:
No later than fourteen (14) days before the Initial Scheduling Conference, the parties shall exchange the initial disclosures required by ...

I am using the Q-10 with the knob release, but you can also purchase the head with a lever release, or without a quick release at all, allowing you to pick your own Acra-Swiss type release mechanism (such as those from Wimberly or Acra-Swiss). The Markins release mechanisms are compatible with all Acra-Swiss release plates (such as from Acra-Swiss, Kirk and Wimberly), which makes it (like all Acra-Swiss style systems) flexible if you already have some Arca-Swiss compatible products.
Many users opt for the lever release, since it is quicker to use, but I opted for the knob release because it provides greater security when moving with equipment mounted on the head. For added security the release plate has spring loaded a pin to prevent the plates from sliding off the release in the event that you accidentally loosen it. The release also has a spirit level, so you can be sure that the ball is level for landscape shooting, although this must be set before you mount your camera.

I need some direction
What am I going to do about my studies? I have less than 20 days to register for Unisa, and I'm still super confused. What if I do this degree and I'm unhappy? Do I bite the bullet and carry on? Or do I change my circumstances, blindly? I don't know the first thing to do to go in the direction I want to. Where do I start? What do I do? I want to enjoy what I do. Everyone does. Will I learn to love my chosen course of study? I really, really hope so.

Why don't you go and speak to someone on campus like an adviser or speak to someone already doing both courses and just get as much information as you can before you make this all important decision. That's what I did and it worked out pretty well for me :) Good luck!

text: Hey everyone, my name is Collin and I am addicted to photography. I am from Connecticut and am currently going to school for photography. This is not my first time on a forum, so I get the general idea haha. I will post up some of my pictures eventually, I also have a bunch of questions to ask. Not sure what you guys like for info... but here is what I have Canon Powershot SX110 IS for digital and Pentax SF10 35mm SLR :thumbup: I LOVE film photography, while it does seem to be getting phased out by the world of digital... I know there are still a few people like me out there that still love 35mm. I only shoot black and white 35mm, its just a personal preference I guess. Along with the camera I have a couple lenses, one is a Macro (28-50 I believe) and one is a 70-200mm lens I have a few questions to ask as well... I will put them in here rather than making a new thread. If I don't get too many answers then I will make a new one. -I am very into my 35mm camera... I am looking for some filters for the end of the camera that will work well with B&W... any thoughts? -Is there a way to either replace the mirror in the camera with one that has third lines on it? or is there a way to add third lines? I usually don't use them except for making sure my picture is level. so that's me... anything else you want to know PLEASE don't hesitate to ask! -Collin

It's Here, But Will There be a Difference?
Well, here we are one day before the "Earth Shaking" event, President Elect Obama become President Obama. Are you excited? Neither am I. However, I am being told be the MSM that I am wrong for not feeling that the second coming is happening right before my eyes. What is even scarier, the world for the most part feels this way.
Obama is being sold as, "The Great Rock of Hope', and it is all ready showing he is not the product that we were sold in the primaries. THIS PRODUCT IS SOUNDING LIKE EVERY OTHER PRODUCT. Sure some of the surface issues are different, but the core are the same. The vote for the NSA bill was the a sure sign. The support for the Bailout Bill was another, and there are so many other, but that isn't what this is about.
There has never been a President Elect that the Media has jumped be hind like this, and yes that means Kennedy, and Clinton. I feel the Bony Fingers of The CFR in this. He has done nothing, and they have him saving the world.
One of the stupidest things I have seen said about the savior was when it was said that, CNN Wants Obama's Inaugural Speech Carved in Marble. Well maybe it ties with Chris Mathews said, he gets a tingling in his legs when he hears Obama speak.
CNN and Gatway Pundit
President-elect Barack Obama's inaugural address is one of the most anticipated speeches in decades, with many expecting his words to be chiseled into marble some day.
Obama aides said that the speech will last 18 to 20 minutes and that Obama will emphasize that America is entering a new area of responsibility.
He will say that America has been hurt by a "me first" mentality that has contributed to the current economic crisis, aides say, and call on individuals — as well as corporations and businesses — to take responsibility for their actions.
Yesterday, I found out that many schools are making the students bring a lunch because they will be in a classroom for 2 hours watching the Inauguration, then write an essay on it. Others are making the children eat lunch early so that nothing will interrupt the momentous occasion. Some parents have said that they will keep the children home if It is not shown, and others will keep theirs home if it is shown. Yep, it's brought us together.
So, if you don't feel all warm and fuzzy after the speech tomorrow, you are not alone. I have researched to deep into this, to fall under the Obama trance. However, it is great hope for a better future for the country and its people, but it isn't going to happen by what you were told Barrack Obama will do for you. It seems it is the wrong way to go.

Join us at our Maundy Thursday service at 7:00 p.m. in the church as we continue our Holy Week services this week.
Then, after the service, the church will be open for an all-night "Keep Watch" vigil. The entrance underneath the bridge will be the only entrance open. Plan to spend as much time as you wish in prayer and meditation with Jesus in the garden. We would like to have people present all night. For further information, please email Gordon Frey at firstname.lastname@example.com.

You're drawing a false distinction between a poorly understood electrochemical process (human memory) and a well understood method of simulating the same with silicon.
It's the end result that matters. In this case, since human language and logic are inherently fuzzy, the computer will be at a disadvantage in many cases.
Then this will be pretty thoroughly uneventful. I easily beat it without looking at the internet at all. It managed to get answers very severely wrong. It did manage to hit a couple of the before and after which it seemed to have a particularly hard time with.
At this year's CASCON, I spoke to Murray Campbell from IBM. He's one of the lead people who work on this project and who also worked on Deep Blue. I discussed this with him. My girlfriend had told me that she also had no difficulty beating the online demo. He answered that the online demo is only a part of the system, and that their full system routinely beats top Jeopardy players. They're going to showcase their system on TV because they truly believe it has a chance at winning.
Unrelated to this, I also learned that Deep Blue had custom processors engineered and fabricated (VLSI) just to be chess accelerators. Prior to this, I always thought the machine was a relatively powerful supercomputer (with general purpose hardware) running their custom chess software. It turns out that it had many blades of processors dedicated to searching positions really fast, which each even contained libraries of chess opening moves engraved in ROM.

I have friends and family ask me all the time, "why Seattle?" So I go through the story for them and all our reasons for moving, and inevitably, I'm asked the same question by the same person a short while later. And the thing is, I don't blame them b/c such a big move in my current state of living (no money, new baby with hopefully more to follow soon, great church, surrounded by great family, etc.) doesn't make complete sense and I too keep asking myself that "why" question. So, I'm just gonna provide a little explanation for those who wanna know as well as to once again convince myself this is the right decision.
It all started with a late night conversation between me and wife where I was explaining to her my desires to try something new and different, something that is out of the status quo for my life, and it mainly revolved around wanting to live somewhere new and exciting. I felt this way (and still do) because as much as I love being here in Memphis and love all the family and friends that I have here, it's the only thing I've known. I did move to Mississippi to go to a small private college for 4 years, but my environment there was more or less similar to what I had always known in regards to types of friends, type of weather, type of churches, type of Christian education, etc. and so that didn't really count for me as living in a different place that brings new experiences, challenges, mindsets, landscapes, and opportunities; and that is what I want. Also, I just want to be somewhere where I can look out my frontdoor and see a mountain or picturesque lake or the ocean or something other than the nothing I have to look at here in Memphis (and the Seattle area offers ALL of that, plus snow skiing!!)
So of course you're reading this, and are probably thinking to yourself, "man, that's kinda selfish to move your wife and child away from all they know and love just for a new experience." And on the surface, I agree with that conclusion, and as me and Emily chatted that night, I thought that was all we were really doing. My point in voicing my thoughts was not to really seek a change, but just to tell Emily what I was pondering over. But my wife, being the wonderful woman that she is, listened and understood where I was coming from and suggested that we just keep our future open towards moving and that we "look into it" in a kind of nonchalant way. I was thrilled that she said that b/c she didn't just write off my desire as some wild, never-gonna-happen idea and leave me hanging. So major props to her.
So from there (and this is the short version), we started off with "findyourspot.com" (I have a link on this blog) where it asks several questions about your likes and dislikes in regards to your ideal place to live (preferences towards weather, culture, job market, family-friendly, etc) and then it matches up your answers with your top 25 places to live. It was a lot of fun and I recommend doing it to see what the survey says. So, my number one place was Tacoma, WA (just south of Seattle) and Emily's was Spokane, WA (few hours east of Seattle) with Tacoma coming in 3rd. So, that's how we first landed on the Seattle area. I then started researching the physical therapy scene in Seattle just to look for fun, but as I did, I found that it is a hotspot for the exact kind of PT that I want to practice in (orthopedics with a focus in manual therapy). Plus, I found in the clinics I was hoping to work for opportunities for me to receive the best kind of post-graduate education and mentorship in my profession (mainly through an Orthopedic Manual Therapy Fellowship). Then, through a myriad of steps, God opened so many doors and lead us to so many people that just clarified that this is where God was leading us. I mean, it was just random things that happened (that truly were providential) that convinced me and Emily that God was opening this door for us. I analyzed every aspect of this and kept praying for God to open or close doors according to what He wanted, and every step lead us to Seattle. I then flew up there in January to interview with several clinics and get a feel for the area. I received a job offer from my #1 choice (and dream clinic), and we made the final decision a few weeks ago that we're gonna do this thing.
So I know that God has prepared a place for us there and that this will be an incredibly transforming experience for us, and not just because I will get the chance to grow so much professionally, but also because we'll be in a whole new environment that is different from the Bible-belt South that I have always known and away from our safety net where God is going to challenge us so much and in that, show us that He is faithful to take care of us, and that is what my family needs. When we look back on it years from now, I know we're going to see this was just what our family needed and just where God wanted us to take us into a deeper relationship with Him.

Well one of the interesting issues that future young retirees have to consider is how to fill up those extra 2000 hours a year that used to be work. The trick is to find the balance between relaxing and doing something meaningful to ensure a happy life. If you go too far either way you tend to find yourself becoming bored or unhappy.
One common method of filling up that time is helping others. You see your time is likely the most valuable thing you can give another person. So any help you give others is typically deeply appreciated by those who understand that fact.
Now you don't have to help others through a formal organization, which is often a common misconception. You can give back to those around you in completely informal setting. Help out the neighbour with a building project or give your family a hand looking after their kids once in a while. Giving out help often results in help coming back to you when you need it. For example, friend of mine were down for the weekend and I mentioned that we were going to be putting in some hard wood this week in the living room. So without even asking for it, I got a hand moving out the furniture and then pulling out the carpet. There was no exchange of money or IOU's but rather an understanding that as friends we just help each other out.
Now the trick to helping others and helping yourself is making sure you do work for/with people that respect the value of your time. So how do you know your being respected? Well that varies a bit, but here are some general rules:
- You don't want to get involved with people that constantly take without ever giving back. It's a dead end game where you can't help but be disappointed.
- Make sure that people understand the limits of what time you can give to them in advance to avoid confusion and hurt feelings. I once helped out with a deck project, but warned the group in advance I could only give them two days of my time due to prior commitments. It saved some potential misunderstandings about me not wanting to help rather than just not having the time to help much.
- You should hear at least one "Thanks" or "Thank You" for what you did.
- If people offer to help you without being asked, it is good side they will respect your time as well. Make sure you do it to others as well.
- If you felt good after helping someone else, likely they respected your time. If you think "Why did I bother?" then likely that is a red flag about helping that person again in the future.
But you know the greatest thing about helping others. You don't have to wait till your retired to get that satisfaction and happiness. You can help others right now with some of your time and enjoy the benefits from now all the way to your retirement party.

Morphology: Morpheme and Word
| * A morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit in the grammar of a language. * a morpheme is the smallest semantic unit in a language. The field of study dedicated to morphemes is called morphology. A morpheme is not identical to a word, and the principal difference between the two is that a morpheme may or may not stand alone, whereas a word, by definition, is a freestanding unit of meaning. Every word comprises one or more morphemes. * any of the minimal grammatical units of a language, each constituting a word or meaningful part of a word, that cannot be divided into smaller independent grammatical parts, as the, write, or the -ed of waited. Compare allomorph ( def 2 ) , morph ( def 1 ) . | * |
* |
Unbreakable" comprises three morphemes: un- (a bound morpheme signifying "not"), -break- (the root, a free morpheme), and -able (a morpheme signifying "can be done"). Allomorphs of the plural morpheme for regular nouns: /s/ (e.g. in cats /kæts/), /ɨz/ (e.g. in dishes /dɪʃɨz/), and /z/ (e.g. in dogs /dɒɡz/). Examples

| Current approaches to morphology conceive of morphemes as rules involving the linguistic context, rather than as isolated pieces of linguistic matter. They acknowledge that| | * meaning may be directly linked to suprasegmental phonological units, such as tone or stress. * the meaning of a morpheme with a given form may vary, depending on its immediate environment.| | | |
Examples (English)|
| * Unladylike * The word unladylike consists of three morphemes and four syllables. * Morpheme breaks: * un- 'not' * lady '(well behaved) female adult human' * -like 'having the characteristics of' * None of these morphemes can be broken up any more without losing all sense of meaning. Lady cannot be broken up into "la" and "dy," even though "la" and "dy" are separate syllables. Note that each syllable has no meaning on its own. * Dogs * The word dogs consists of two morphemes and one syllable: * dog, and * -s, a plural marker on nouns * Note that a morpheme like "-s" can just be a single phoneme and does not have to be a whole syllable. * Technique * The word technique consists of only one morpheme having two syllables. * Even though the word has two syllables, it is a single morpheme because it cannot be broken down into smaller meaningful parts.|
| Morphemes may be classified, on the basis of word formation, characteristics into the following types: | Morpheme type| Structure| Bound| Free|
* root| simple, made up of a single morpheme; a basis for compounding and affixation| yes/no | yes/no | * stem| may be complex, made up of one or more morphemes; a basis for affixation| yes/no | yes/no | * affix * prefix * infix * suffix * suprafix * simulfix * circumfix| simple| yes | no | * clitic * proclitic * enclitic| simple| yes (phonologically) | yes (syntactically) | Note: A clitic is a kind of morpheme that does not fit well in the above classification system because it is phonologically bound but syntactically free.

Morphemes are what make up words. Often, morphemes are thought of as words but that is not always true. Some single morphemes are words while other words have two or more morphemes within them. Morphemes are also thought of as syllables but this is incorrect. Many words have two...
