I really liked Riviera, my fav was that girl with the Green clothes and hair (sorry been quite awhile and I can't remember any of the girls names, hell, not even the guys, I think it starts with an "L")
I personally DO NOT recommend Generation of Chaos... Unless of course you don't mind the HUGE and ANNOYING load times... takes 2 secs to load every damn piece of text bubble in the game!!!
I'm currently waiting for and soon to get (in no specific order):
Wild Arms XF
God of War
FF7 Crisis Core
I think there was a bit more but can't remember atm...

First time I've heard of that.... Is it a pure fighting game or does it have a story? From what I can tell from the video, the first match-up is Cecil vs Goblez, 2nd Zidane vs Kugel (can't quite remember his name, is it right?), 3rd is alot of peoples favorite, Sephiroth, but I can't make out on who he is going up against....

Anyone saw that on sale copy of Wild Arms XF on playasia a few months ago? Sheesh, if I knew enough Japanese, I would have gotten it. Was only 15 dollars!
@Snuffle, nice list. Only think I might be getting instead of God of War:COO is importing Tales of Rebirth instead.
Who's psyched about Tales of Rebirth? Claire! (or however it was spelled) Never really started Rebirth on my PS2 so I'm quite eager.

Well me being a Wild Arms fan, I'm sure I will like it (I have all the games to date). I'm yet to get it but I should be able to buy it this weekend. I think it really boils down to two things...
Are you a Wild Arms fan?
Do you like strategy games?
When I bought Jeanne D'arc, I didn't really know anything about how unique it was strategy wise... I mean, there is no customization with the characters besides the usual equipment and kinda adjust their stats but it uses skill slots and their attack skills which is stirctly based on what weapon they use. But even tho it's like that, I still really enjoyed it cause the battle system had some originality to it.
Basicly what I'm saying is... I like stratagy games, as long as it's not annoying (points to Generation of Chaos), I will like it
Oh... I will get back to you on how WAXF is

Ok. I think I've played enough of Wild Arms XF to give a decent opinion on it .
Now, if someone here is one of those people that listens WITHOUT QUESTION to places like IGN, Gamespot, 1up, whatever other places where "professional" reviewers are, then you might reject my opinion, or save yourself the time and don't read it.
So far I've played exactly 9hrs 17mins 29secs of it (from my psp save data), and I'm still enjoying it . The biggist complaint from IGN and 1up (never read gamespot's review, only heard it was bad) was that you had to use specific classes to pass certian stages... All I have to say to that is... BIG FRICKEN DEAL!! It's a strategy game!! Not a simple hack and slash or even an EASY rpg for that matter, where you can just use whatever you want and still own the game... please... >_>;; They even compare it to Disgaea and Final Fantasy Tactics which are ports with added stuff... XF is a psp exclusive people....
I actually find those "use specific class" stages quite interesting . Someone on GameFAQS actually said this this looks like a gameboy advance game... ya ok... I'm glad everybody pretty much brushed him off. IMO for rpg's, the things that are important are: Character Intereactions, Story, and the Battle System.
BTW, I think it's important to mention that IGN also complained about the VIT system... ya.. they don't like characters loosing HP for fighting/walking to long (basicly getting tired)... They don't even mention you can heal the VIT for a very genorous amount >_>;; And it only takes 1 turn.
Anyway, sorry for the ranting . In general, I like the game. But let me point out on the things that I don't like:
- Story characters have poor stats compared to people you can hire (hire like FFT), but only by a little.
- Useable items can ONLY be used on YOURSELF, unless you are that Chemist like class...
- (this one is minor) Too many skills that are not allowed to be used after you make a movement... But there is a skill from another class that allows that for 1 turn, it's balanced enough for it not to be irritating, so I was able to deal with it.
I think that's it for now, crap that was long... But in general, I recommend it for stratagy fans as long as you can handle those negitive things I said about it. As I've already said, I enjoy it and still am .

Veteran's Day is a time for us to express our gratitude to those who have served their country with honor and pride. Albany County Executive Daniel P. McCoy is hosting two events that will serve to honor our veterans and provide assistance to those who need it. The County Executive will host a special program to honor five local veterans for their service and commitment to their fellow Americans. This event is being held in conjunction with the county's 330th Anniversary, as the county celebrates the people that make Albany County such a great place to live and work.
The veteran's celebration will take place on November 8th at 10 a.m. in the Cahill Room at 112 State Street in Albany. Those to be honored are World War II veterans including Medal of Honor winner Frank Currey, Frank Murphy, Richard Marowitz, Ray Joyce and John Edwards. Each of these veterans served our country with distinction. This will serve as a fitting tribute to these veterans and an appropriate kick off to Veteran's Day weekend.
Later on Friday, the County Executive will join Liz Hitt of the Homeless and Travelers Aid Society (HATAS) and the Transportation Security Administration to distribute clothing recovered at the Albany International Airport security checkpoint. Earlier this year the Clothe-A-Homeless Hero Act took effect, which enables the TSA to give unclaimed items to local organizations for distribution to veterans in need. The presentation will take place at 3 p.m. at the Albany International Airport baggage claim area.

Outdoor Helium Inflation with Jessica
Jessica is outside on a beautiful day with some Big Balloons and a tank full of helium.
She inflates her first Balloon and then let's the helium blow out back over herself.
...now she can so inflate her pretty red Balloon all over again until it's really big and tight!
Join her as she tightly inflates one pretty Balloon after the next ....she certainly seems to be enjoying herself.
Kobe Lee and Danielle Trixie are back
Did I mention that they are almost, too thrilled to be entering their Balloon Cage...
That's probably because they just might be equipped with some '' things that you don't know about....
I can't believe what they put all of these poor and innocent little guys through.
These girls are unmerciful, but you don't have to take my word for it ...you'll soon see for yourself
Just sit back and prepare yourself for the action to get more and more Explosive!
Explosive Bangs in the Bedroom with Jessica
Jessica has been blowing up Balloons and playing with them in the bedroom for hours.
She is getting to know her all of the different types of Balloons pretty well now, but that doesn't stop her from ending up with more than a few of them exploding in her hands.
....Just a second too long and ....BANG!
Jessica is adorable in this one and those Explosive Bangs are great too!
To Pop or Not to Pop (Kobe and Danielle Trixie)
Kobe has a huge cluster of tightly inflated Balloons that she is anxiously attempting to force through her seemingly narrow bedroom doorway.
All the while, Miss Danielle has been on Kobe's bed and 'patiently' awaiting this Big Balloony Surprise.
Kobe can't wait to jump up on her bed n play with all of her pretty Balloons, but Danielle seems to have something very different and much more Explosive in mind....
Camping out with a Balloon Stuffed Tent ....BANG!!! (Jessica)
Jessica is all alone in the wilderness with just a tent and a need to keep herself entertained.
She knew this was her chance to pull out her secret Balloon stash from her backpack.
Jess begins inflating her Q640's by mouth until she just can't hold on to any more of them.
They would almost certainly pop if she were to let them fall to the ground amonst the dried leaves and sharp sticks, but then she has an idea that just may be even more fun.
Watch her bend over in those sexy little daisy duke shorts and stuffs as many Balloons as she can into her little tent.
Those Balloons are safe for a moment, but Jessica has plans do all sorts of things to these poor little guys.
Between the bouncing, squeezing, riding and sexy cowgirl boot stomping ....those Balloons never had a chance
An Explosive Lesson ( Danielle Trixie and Kobe )
This is Danielle's first time visiting us at www.TarasBalloons.com and Kobe is about to show her what helium inflation is all about.
Kobe begins inflating the first Balloon and Danielle seems to be a bit nervous as she watches the Balloon grow bigger and bigger, but Kobe shows no mercy.
It's hard to say which is more startling for Danielle ....the suspense or the loud Explosions!?
I just know that she's remains adorably rattled and she just cannot seem to help letting out the cutest little screams.
Kobe decides that perhaps an air inflator will be a bit of a better fit for Danielle ...it takes a little convincing, but Danielle finally decides that she's ready to give it a try some inflation to explosion on her own.
Be careful Danielle ....sometimes those pretty Balloons bite back!
Jessica Buried Beneath Balloons B2P
Jessica is sitting on the bed in her room surrounded by big brightly colored Balloons.
She begins to wonder what it would be like to be completely buried beneath all of her pretty Balloons...
It doesn't take her long to dive in and begin to explain just how she feels about being buried beneath them.
Jessica soon pops up with a little surprise .....she found a pretty pink Balloon that hasn't been inflated yet.
She begins blowing it up by mouth until her Balloon explodes with a loud BANG!
Deliriously Demised by Pressure
Would you like to watch me as I hug my pretty Balloons against me unrtil they explode?
Join me as I give these tightly inflated Balloons some even Tighter Squeezes!
...with nothing between us besides my little school girl outfit
Here I am at the beach in my little polka dot bikini....
Join me as my pretty jewel tone balloon grows bigger and bigger with each breath that I blow into it.
I really love the beautiful setting ....you can even hear the waves crashing in the background as my Big Blue Balloon Explodes!
Balloon Sleep Over ...The Explosions Keep Coming
My little morning after clean up continues and the party is just getting started....
Watch me as I squeeze some of my tightly inflated Balloons between my thighs until they go Bang!
You'll see some nice close ups and there are some pretty clear balloons that you can see right through as I torture them with pressure until they Explode!!
Squeeze pops, Sit pops, and a little 'cluster' of Balloons that meet their demise at the end of my sharp nails are among my own favorite moments in this one.

Incoming 1Ls / Chances« on: January 05, 2012, 04:15:01 PM »
I am new to this board and am not 100% sure where to post this so if this is not the right place I am sorry. I am a first semester sophomore at Appalachian State University in NC. I transferred in 21 hours from high school so I am trying to graduate in three years instead of four. This first semester college life got in the way and I let two of my grades slip. BAD. I made 2 A- 1 A 1 B and 1 D. I am taking the D course over again and to the best of my understanding law school will the the average grade that I make in that course once I retake it. I am determined to do better. I already have an internship lined up with the District attorney this summer and plan to take an LSAT prep course next year. If I get on the ball and do well on my other classes and do a WONDERFUL job on my LSAT what are the chances that I can get into U of Michigan at Ann-Arbor. That is where I really want to go and I would hate to know that I blew it in a single semester. Will the one bad grade kill me. Hopefully I can get an A in it this semester therefore Law schools will see either a B or a C. If I do not make another C will it kill my chances at U of M with 1 C. Also do any of you know if it is true that the law schools average the grade if you retake a course? Thanks for any help you can give me. Did any of you get into U of M with a few bad grades?

With activities for children in preschool through age 5
Why is the sky blue?
Why do things fall to the ground?
How do seeds grow?
What makes the sound and music?
Where do mountains come from?
Young children ask their parents hundreds of questions like these. In search of answers, we use science to both enlighten and delight. Being "scientific" involves being curious, observing, asking how things happen and learning how to find the answers. Curiosity is natural to children, but they need help understanding how to make sense of what they see and to relate their observations to their existing ideas and understandings. This is why parental involvement is so important in children's science education. When we encourage children to ask questions, make predictions, offer explanations and explore in a safe environment, we lend them the kind of support that they need to become successful science students and scientific thinkers.
As a parent, you don't have to be a scientist or have a college degree to help your child learn science. What's far more important than being able to give a technical explanation of how a telescope works is your willingness to nurture your child's natural curiosity by taking the time to observe and learn together.
Science "happens" all around us every day, and you have endless opportunities to invite your child into the wonders of science. Without expensive chemistry sets, equipment or kits, a child can be introduced easily to the natural world and encouraged to observe what goes on in that world. When you least expect it, a moment for learning will occur: A bit of ice cream drops on the sidewalk and ants appear; some cups float and some sink when you're washing dishes; static electricity makes your hair stand on end when you put on a sweater.
Through the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, President George W. Bush has made clear his commitment to the goals of raising standards of achievement for all children and of providing all children with highly qualified teachers and with instruction that is based on scientific research. Helping Your Child Learn Science is part of the president's efforts to provide parents with the latest research and practical information designed to support children's learning at home, at school and in the community. It reflects the importance of inquiry processes and content in science achievement as described in the National Science Education Standards, released in 1996 by the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences.
This booklet includes a range of activities for families with children from preschool age through grade 5. The activities use materials found in your home and make learning experiences out of everyday routines. The activities are designed for you to have fun with your child while developing and reinforcing science skills. We hope you and your child will enjoy the activities suggested in this booklet and develop many more of your own.

The rest of the story from Friday night's game at Fort Gibson
FORT GIBSON — I have never seen that many points scored in a football game as the amount of points the scoreboard saw here Friday night between the Poteau Pirates and the homestanding Fort Gibson Tigers, which was won by the Tigers 59-56.Not even the triple-overtime thriller against Oologah several years ago could match Friday night's contest. I have never been to an 8-man football game, but from what I hear, that scoring pace approached that style of scoring. The pace was so fast that there were 17 different scoring plays in the game. The referee, told me that the teams were averaging a TD every 2:30 of the first half. I had trouble keeping up with the pace of the game. I had so many scoring sheets, that I was not able to give you the complete story last Friday night.Both teams established that they could play strong offense.Both teams had the same number of possessions. The difference of the game simply boiled down to the fact that the Fort Gipson Tigers were able to kick a 35-yard field goal in the waning seconds of the game, while the Poteau Pirates attempted to kick a 45-yard field goal which Blake Williams had plenty of leg but the kick was obviously wide right right from the start.

NEW DELHI: Expressing disappointment over RBI's decision to hike the key policy rate, real estate developers said this would lead to increase in finance cost and also affect housing demand during the festive season.
"There was no need to increase the repo rate at this juncture. It will hurt the growth sentiment further," DLF Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Ashok Tyagi told PTI.
Asked about impact on real estate, Tyagi said the overall sentiment would remain cautious, but he believed that good products from credible developers on good locations would always have a demand.
RBI today raised the short-term policy rate by 0.25 per cent to keep "worrisome" inflation under check, a move that may increase EMIs for home and auto loans in the medium term.
Commenting on the policy, Parsvnath Developers Pradeep Jain said: "It is highly disappointing to see such a signal from RBI. Though increasing Repo by 25 bps (0.25 per cent) may curb inflation marginally or may hold Rupee for a while, it is going to impact market sentiments significantly".
The RBI had a golden chance to bring positivity in an otherwise sluggish economy, but this increase in rates would affect growth prospects, he added.
"It is not a good signal for the industry which is about to enter the festive season. Banks have already started raising their rates," Jain said.
Housing demand generally goes up during the festival season and developers major part of sales take place during this period.
Global property consultant Jones Lang LaSalle India Chairman and Country Head Anuj Puri said the hike in repo rate would lead to increase in developers' finance cost and affect their profit margin.
"In the current monetary policy, RBI has increased the repo rate by 25 bps, which will increase the borrowing cost. However, with reduction of MSF by 75 bps (0.75 per cent) and reduction of minimum daily maintenance of CRR from 99 per cent to 95 per cent, it has relaxed tightening norms," Puri said.
Increase in finance cost along with rising cost of construction and the already challenging economic scenario is expected to affect profit margins of developers, he added.
"While the real estate industry has reason to be somewhat disappointed on the increase in borrowing cost, RBI has made provisions for increased liquidity in the system," he said.
Terming RBI's decision as "unexpected", Griha Pravesh Buildteck CMD Abhay Kumar said the move would disappoint the banking industry and consumers who are struggling under the burden of high Equated Monthly Installments (EMIs).
"It would also dampen sentiments ahead of the peak festival season, when developers expect the demand for houses to go up. This is going to hurt both buyers as well as the developers," Kumar said.

Fabric Covered Shoes: Make Your Own
Added Jan 24, 2011
by alisondahl
Brooklyn, New Yo...
Ever since I saw the fabric covered shoes on Erdem's S/S2010 runway I have been dying to make a pair for myself. It seemed like a difficult ordeal at first but the process was surprisingly easy, and so rewarding!
I chose one of my favorite Liberty of London peacock prints in cotton lawn that I had left over from a dress I made (I was going for a matchy-matchy look). I used a pair of plain black faux-leather wedges that I didn't mind experimenting with. The wedge heel for me was a must— I think the covered heel is the most exciting part of the shoe's silhouette. Next time I would love to try a floral-printed silk charmeuse like the Erdem wedges pictured above!

Does ANYONE know what the Krylon Matte finsih is for? and when it is applied!!!!???

It's for finishing the shoes (see step 9). The matte finish spray extends the life of the shoes by offering a protective outer coating.

Would a hot glue gun do the job, you think?

I can't say exactly. The thing about craft glue is that it dries clear— and doesn't leave a trail. If you left some drops or it touched the outside of the fabric, it dries invisible. My experiences with hot glue have been messy to say the least!

Awesome!! I have the perfect shoes that I have been saving in my closet for 2 years!!! I knew something amazing could come out of them :) Thank you for the idea! You're amazingly creative!
Jan 29, 2011, 11.10 PMby junaluska
This is such an awesome idea! If I ever find a good pair of wedges, I'm definitely trying this! And I agree, it would look great in a silky, shiny print like those Erdem ones.

Thank you! I think this project opens up new doors to personalizing your wardrobe— having that extra hand-made accessory, like a fabric covered shoe just makes dressing so fun.
Jan 26, 2011, 02.34 PMby nyphertiti
Wow, wow, wow! Love this idea. It looks so couture but it's so easy. Definitely going to give it a go when I find the right shoes to experiment with. Thanks~

My mind is blown away with idea – this is so great – thank you for posting. I have painted my shoes with fabric paint with my own designs in the past, esp. canvas shoes, this has also worked well on suede as it took on a look of leather. I have decorated shoes and have glued or stitched fabric on to the shoes in the past – this just takes it to a new level, thank you again for sharing.

Wow, you've done so much! I think it would be really fun to create your own fabric to apply to a shoe too. Like tie-dye or screen-printed fabric.
Jan 26, 2011, 07.29 AMby loulourosa
Hmmmm very nice, and such a good idea. But I think it takes some craftmanship to do it, something to do when I have lots of time on my own ;-) and when I have found the right shoes!

I was home alone one evening and finished the shoes from start to finish in about 2 hours. I think using a vibrant, colorful print, like the cotton I chose, helps make the show look cleaner perhaps? Cotton is flexible and surprisingly malleable.
Maybe break it up— do the pattern pieces one day and the gluing the next day.

If you have an embroidery machine, you can also add an embroidery motif to the toe (or heel – but recommend only the toe) of your shoe. Instructions are available on Sue Haufman's Sew America Web Site. (www.sewamerica.com)

Sorry about that. I see this has already been answered. It's a great idea though. I used velvet once to cover a pair of boots and they were lovely while they lasted.
Jan 25, 2011, 08.15 PMby heatherbrown
Would it be possible to use Mod Podge or some other finish to give the shoes a shiny finish and a bit more durability and cleanability? Any suggestions as to what to use?
Jan 25, 2011, 08.01 PMby domestic-divaonline
Great instructions, beautiful job! I've done my share of this but never an entire shoe. Your details and photos are wonderful. Everything is so complete but may I just add a small suggestion? Why not actually sew that back center seam for a bit cleaner look? it would allow perfect shaping of the seam without overlapping multi layers. Very creative project!

Yes— I think sewing the raw edges under would definitely offer a cleaner, finished look. I am guilty of favoring the quickest method to do things, so I folded it under with a dab if Stitch Witchery ;)
Jan 26, 2011, 06.32 AMby vegan
I had a similar question! The instructions mention a seam allowance, but I didn't see a step that involved sewing. Are the none of the pieces sewn together?
The shoes are beautiful and I can't wait to try this!

I always thought you needed the shoe making expertise to do this, so thank you very much as I will most definitely give it a go. I sell a similar wedge in my gallery by a lady whom makes them all on her own and doing very well, visit… www.damesanddivas.com.au, she also makes flats and kitten heels

Mary Wales Loomis (an adorable older woman) makes shoes too! My mother gave me her book as a gift last year and it's charming. The next step is to make an entire pair yourself, which seemed daunting, but not so much anymore.

Love the fabric! I guess you could maybe spray the shoe with some sort of water repellent spray, so it can protect against rain etc.?
2 Replies
Jan 25, 2011, 03.02 PMby alisondahl
Right— I noted in the instructions that I sprayed a "Mod Podge" matte finish on the shoes to protect them from water & wear. The spray does take away from the soft texture of cotton though— it becomes stiff and slightly shiny (looking like there is a thin layer of glue on top) so I haven't found the perfect protectant for cotton yet.
Jan 25, 2011, 10.17 PMby popbabe7
That's great, I was wondering if they would de waterproof (here in Wales we know a thing or two about rain).

Cuomo urges area lawmakers to support his stance on bridge
ALBANY – Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, whose tactical maneuvering in the Peace Bridge dispute has not been winning him any friends in Canada, held a closed-door meeting with Western New York lawmakers Monday to rally support for his stance in the controversy.
Officials involved in the 90-minute meeting said Cuomo was insistent that improvements and expansion to the Buffalo side of the span take precedence over Canadian priorities, such as redecking the aging bridge or adding a pre-inspection facility in Fort Erie designed to ease truck congestion coming into the United States.
The session came just hours after Canadian bridge officials took their case beyond area lawmakers, urging the downstate heads of two legislative panels not to advance legislation today designed to dissolve the Peace Bridge Authority, the binational agency that oversees the bridge.
Lawmakers in both the Senate and Assembly say that the measure proposed by two Buffalo legislators is expected to move out of two committees today and that the bill will pass both houses in the next three weeks before the 2013 session ends unless the Peace Bridge dispute is resolved. That, they say, will take a show of support by Canadian officials to move ahead quickly with improvements to the plaza on the Buffalo side.
Canadian officials, though, say the legislation by Sen. Mark Grisanti, R-Buffalo, and Assemblyman Sean Ryan, D-Buffalo, is not having the intended effect of pressuring an end to the stalemate but instead is driving the sides farther apart.
Cuomo's newest appointee to the bridge authority said Western New York lawmakers expressed their unity for the governor's push to expand the congested U.S. plaza. "I haven't seen such strong support for any one issue by the delegation as I've seen today,'' said former Buffalo Mayor Anthony Masiello, who is also a registered lobbyist in Albany.
Masiello, who was at the meeting with Cuomo, said lawmakers are expressing the perception or reality of Western New Yorkers who have seen various delays to Peace Bridge improvements over the years. Canadians have noted most of those delays have been generated on the U.S. side, whether by lawsuits, including by Masiello when he was mayor, or by environmental reviews.
Canadian officials wonder how they can work out a deal when Grisanti and Ryan have legislation they say points a legal bullet at the authority's existence. The bill, lawmakers hope, will dissolve the bridge authority and its 10-member board – five Americans and five Canadians – which needs six votes to get anything done.
The legislation was being taken seriously enough by Canadian officials that Ron Rienas, the authority's general manager, sent an eight-page letter to the heads of the two committees in Albany that have the Grisanti and Ryan bills on their agenda today. The separate letters were sent to Assemblyman James Brennan, D-Brooklyn, head of the Assembly Corporations, Authorities and Commissions Committee; and Sen. Jack Martins, R-Long Island, head of the Senate Local Government Committee.
Rienas warned the legislation poses "significant adverse consequences.'' He said even if the legislation is successful, ending the authority's existence would take an act of Congress in Washington and Parliament in Ottawa.
Passage of the state legislation would force the authority to pay off $50 million in outstanding bonds that are due to be remarketed next year. That, as a result, would force the cancellation of $50 million in U.S. plaza improvements, a $100 million bridge re-decking effort and the abandonment of a historic compact between the United States and Canada to allow armed U.S. Customs agents to pre-inspect truck traffic on the Fort Erie side of the bridge to help reduce congestion at the smaller Buffalo plaza.
While some officials involved in the dispute believe Cuomo is behind the Grisanti and Ryan legislation, the Cuomo administration has insisted its focus is on negotiating a settlement with Canadian officials to get stalled projects under way. The administration has repeatedly declined to say if it supports or opposes the bill.
Grisanti said he does not know whether Cuomo backs or opposes his bill, and he said while the legislation was a considerable part of the meeting Monday, Cuomo did not bring up the matter. "The governor said he knows it's not all the Canadian side's fault,'' Grisanti said of the delays over the years. "But he said that's in the past.''
Grisanti said the point of the Monday meeting "was making sure everybody understands what the goal is here and that's to make sure projects get done, whether on the American side or the Canadian side.''
Lebel on Monday again declined an interview request and instead issued a written statement that depicted Canada's position in the fight.
"The Peace Bridge supports the economies of both of our counties, and makes life better for Ontario and Western New York. The Peace Bridge Authority, with its binational board of directors, has worked well for decades,'' he said.

NEW YORK ? Baseball players and owners have reached a tentative verbal agreement on a five-year labor contract and hope to have a signed deal by next week.
Negotiators reached an understanding when they met late Thursday at the InterContinental O'Hare in Rosemont, Ill., a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Friday because the agreement still was being drafted.
The sides hope to sign a memorandum of understanding in time to announce the agreement Monday or Tuesday. The last item to fall in place was the luxury tax on high payroll teams.
The agreement, the first for the union since Michael Weiner succeeded Donald Fehr as head last year, would replace the deal expiring Dec. 11 and would give baseball 21 years of labor peace since the 1994-95 strike.
Under the agreement, there will be a new restraint on the amount of money a team spends each year to sign selections from the amateur draft, with teams going over a threshold being penalized with a type of luxury tax.
In addition, there will be a separate restraint on the amount of money spent to sign international amateur free agents from nations such as the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Cuba. There also will be a committee established to review the system for international signings, leaving open the possibility of a new system during the term of the deal.
Negotiators also worked to lower the percentage of major league free agents who require the highest form of draft pick compensation for the teams losing them.
As part of the deal, players and owners are agreeing to add an extra wild-card round to the playoffs. The extra round will be one game, winner take all.

Wikipedia: "Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) is a rapid transit system serving the San Francisco Bay Area. The heavy-rail public transit system connects San Francisco with cities in the East Bay and suburbs in northern San Mateo County. BART operates five lines on 104 miles (167 km) of track with 43 stations in four counties. With average weekday ridership of 327,629 passengers, BART is the fifth-busiest heavy rail rapid transit system in the United States."
The Bay Area is renowned for its natural beauty, affluence, diversity, and progressive thinking new age reputation. Lots of ammenities, tours and hotels can be found all around the area.San Francisco is the cultural and financial center of the Bay Area, and has the second highest population density of any major city in North America after New York City. It is also a major tourist destination, and transport and accommodation is plentiful, ranging from luxury hotels to cheap accommodation. San Jose is the largest city in terms of population, land area, and industrial development, and is the center of Silicon Valley, a well-known high technology region. Oakland is a major manufacturing and distribution center, rail terminus/hub, and has the fourth largest container shipping port in the United States.Largely because of San Francisco and Silicon Valley, the Bay Area presently ranks second only to the much larger New York City region in number of Fortune 500 company headquarters (April 2010 Fortune Magazine). source: wikipedia

Fine Doodles
We admit feeling a little skeptical when we first read about this business. Have our childrens' drawings turned into paintings? But our childrens' artwork is perfection as it is. How could anyone re-interpret it and come anywhere close to the original beauty? Then we took a look at the gallery. And we couldn't stop smiling!
Summer Myers is a stay-at home mother of two and the artist behind the scenes at Fine Doodles. Parents can commission her through her website to create an acrylic painting based on a child's drawing. The end product neither crushes nor upstages the original, but rather brings it to a vibrant, fleshed out fruition that clearly maintains a deep respect for the original. Check out her gallery and be prepared to grin from ear to ear.
Prices range from $44 to $175 based on size.

|Condition or disease
|Diabetes Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most frequent microvascular complications of diabetes (DM). Current guidelines recommend that patients with DM should receive ophthalmic fundus examination annually. DR poses a serious threat to the health of millions patients who have DM. Nowadays, DR has become the leading cause of new cases of visual impairment and blindness among adults.
Genetic factors are likely to account for the susceptibility to DR for the differences in DR incidence between individuals with diabetes. Familial aggregation studies showed that increased risk of severe DR was noted among family members with diabetes with moderate heritability of DR risk. Racial and ethnic differences in the prevalence of DR may also explain some parts of influence of genetic or environmental/cultural risk factors. There were over 30 candidate genes involved in metabolic mechanisms and functional pathways associated with DR. However, consistent associations between candidate genes and DR have yet been identified. The current study is designed to build up a working platform for future large-scale genetic studies of diabetic retinopathy. The investigators also hope to set up priority of candidate loci for future researches.
In the present study, the investigators plan to recruit 200 Chinese patients with DM who have received ophthalmic fundus examination (either by an ophthalmoscope or fundus camera) within 6 months before the study. Each subject will receive anthropometric and blood pressure measurements. Then, fasting blood samples will be taken for the measurements of glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile, and biochemistry. An additional 10 ml blood sample will be taken for DNA extraction from buffy coat. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes and in targeted chromosome regions will be genotyped by using the ABI TaqMan assays. The differences in the distribution of genotypes and alleles between the study groups will be analyzed using appropriate statistical methods.

Yes, Commotion bikes are very highly regarded. And are made on the US, which why they cost more.

Probably tougher than any other band to pick a winner. Regret, Ceremony, Temptation ... and Blue Monday, of course.
So, are you able to step up and put your full weight behind one and only one?
NB: anyone who picks an album track will, of course, be laughed at.
Blue Monday

Blue Monday 88 v. Blue Monday original
Bizarre Love Triangle 94 v. Bizarre Love Triangle original
Temptation 7" v. Temptation original
I'm gonna trump your Blue Monday 88 and Blue Monday original
with Blue Monday Hardfloor remix. Killer remix that one.
bm88 was weird
the band said they just stuck as much extra stuff on it as they could & thought the remixers would take a load off & just leave the best bits, but they didn't remove any of it
temptation 7" v original?
the 12 & the 7 came out at the same time din't they?
they are both original versions, albeit very different
would love to hear the intro from the 7" merged with the 12" version
My understanding is that the 12" was the original recording
and it was edited and remixed for the 7" — which is kinda the opposite of what you'd normally expect (at the time, where the 12" was an extended mix of the original recording released on the 7").
Wiki says this:
"The two tracks [i.e. Temptation and Hurt] were recorded as 12" long versions and later edited to 7" by engineer Peter Woolliscroft using one of the first Sony PCM 1610 Digital editing systems available in UK. The 7" version is a more structured version with a commercial synthpop feel; the 12" is more chaotic with the emphasis on electronic rhythms rather than melody. The 7" version plays at 33.3rpm to accommodate its length of around five and a half minutes. Both versions bear the same catalogue number "FAC 63" despite these differences."
all their singles were recorded full length & then edited down
but they were released at the same time, hence both original in that sense
when there are as many versions as there are of some of these songs through reworkings to label the original releases as non original would be confusing
other than the original 7" & 12" releases there's the secret machines remix, substance version, last night a song saved my life version, wild mix, total mix & temptation 98 versions for example
I think I was confusing the '87 version for the original 12"
possibly because that wiki bit makes it sound like the 7" sounds very different to the 12" (and that is true of the 7" vis-a-vis the '87 version).
the 7" has a completely different start
& is obviously a lot shorter than the 12", but is otherwise pretty similar
check out the commonewelath games version though - think it's available on retro
- friday55 this'd this
love that they wanted to stick thats all folks
from the cartoons at the end of the song but would have been charged too much, so went with frog noises instead

it looks like I'm correcting you or something.
- iquitelikeradiohead this'd this
Yeah, Age of Consent
Your Silent Face
Bizarre Love Triangle
despite the out of time arpeggiator, which, intentional or not, is horrible.
New Order would have been one of the proper great bands if they'd actually had decent lyrics. Sigh.
I love the rubbish lyrics
accidental poetry. not poetic by intention, but so crap that it's, like, outsider poetry.
or when a kid's rubbish picture makes you feel real emotions because it's so unpretentious.hibster and heartworms this'd this
would have been?
they are!
john robie ruined sub-culture
Loads of other crackers though. Also have a lot of love for the always forgotten 'Mesh'.
Perfect Kiss
Bizarre Love Triangle
Your Silent Face
Leave Me Alone
Vanishing Point
- robluvsnic this'd this
Vanishing Point
Closely followed by Ceremony and Bizarre Love Triangle
Ceremony, Temptation and Thieves Like Us all candidates though.
- Gorkys_Forever, sizeofanocean, HumanDog, and spiritofjazz this'd this
this thread started because I've always said Regret
but lately I've been coming back to Ceremony.
And as soon as you waver just the tiniest bit, it suddenly feels criminal to neglect Temptation and Blue Monday... and then True Faith, Bizarre Love Triangle, Crystal, Fine Time...
And then before you know it, you're thinking that Dreams Never End doesn't warrant such terrible neglect, and that's when you realize you've become a laughing stock because you're now considering album tracks as candidates for best New Order song.
- orangejuice this'd this
well it's Temptation isn't it?
The yearning and one of those songs that gently pulls your throat down and out your chest.outspaced and CrispinAlexander this'd this
which version, though?
I can never remember which one is the one I like best. it's not the 7" or the 12".
...I think it's the '87 version.
the original 12" version is the best.
it's more chaotic but that's part of the magic of itCrispinAlexander and hungover this'd this
in no universe is that version not their best song
you people saying other shit are crazy
- mofftarkin this'd this
it's not my absolute favourite
but Everything's Gone Green never, ever gets the credit it deserves
- friday55 this'd this
leave me alone
age of consent
evil dust
kw1 (aka ysf)
& always had a soft spot for 1963 despite its lack of hooky round up a pretty good top ten for me
though could easily have wftsc, regret, crystal, love vigilantes, sunrise, egg, mesh, vanishing point, here to stay & either the john peel session version of paradise from december 98 or the bounty mix of the same song as an alternate ten
actually that session has an awesome version of isolation as well & the version of heart & soul at reading that year was really good if you want jd tracks
A better question is: their best non-single song?
All The Way and Love Less are the answers.
Age of Consent
and Your Silent Face, surely?yuggy this'd this
All The Way definitely
up there. also Love Vigilantes and Mr Disco.
- Mynci2000 this'd this
Mainly because it came out when I was 18 and carefree. And it was the first song the played the first time I ever saw them live at Reading 98 and it sent shivers down my spine. Still does.
Honourable mentions to Bizarre Love Triangle, Elegia, Temptation and True Faith (which seems rather underrepresented here)
what's wrong with you people?
its clearly this :-
i'm sorry
i assumed this thread was started by a new order fan
not a new order fan as such, no.
more just a fan of good music.
i tuhink the laughing at album tracks thing
gave away he wasn't a fan of new orderrobluvsnic this'd this
but you should listen to more
besides some of the b-sides/obscurities
Low Life and Brotherhood are the only albums I haven't listened to.
low life is my favourite one
& brotherhood is a 4 out of 5
but listen to low life first
its well worth it
might actually be the best song by anyone, ever.
I often think this
I also think it's one of the most perfect records ever - the production is amazing, the packaging is beautiful, it's just perfect in every way.
Elegia (18 min version)
Your Silent Face
Very classy choices
Probably my four favourites ( although my order would be different)
was conspicuous by its absence so I stuck it at the top. I think my order would be...
Your Silent Face
How would you call it?
Your Silent Face
(Although on reflection, Age of Consent should be in there in second place)
Where is the 18 minute version of Elegia to be found?
I think it
First appeared on the 'Retro' boxset in 2002 but also made it onto the more recent deluxe edition of 'Lowlife'. Anyway, listen here (the beginning really reminds me of Goblin which is kind of awesome):
Ah yeah
It was on that 'Rare' disc you're right. I don't actually own it but it seems near impossible to come by the 5 discer nowadays.
It's apparently on the second disc of the Lowlife reissue as well
But that's hard to get as well.
Found it on You Tube though.
was a surprise to see it back in the set
when they started touring again in belgium year before last
But way too many amazing songs to be totally sure on my choice...
Thieves Like Us
A moving epic made of neon and rain.
Quite a few for Vanishing Point
I agree.
Perfect Kiss
The version that's on Substance.
Bizzare Love Triangle
Everything's Gone Green
Fine Time
Blue Monday
Blue Monday
easy to criticise because of its sheer commercial power. At the risk of sounding old, when it came out in '83 it turned a lot of ears and remains, (for me) unsurpassed.
ooooo ooo ooo oo oo
ooooo ooo ooo oo oo
oooo ooo oo oo
oooo ooo oo oo
ooooo ooo ooo oo oo
ooooo ooo ooo oo oo


text: This is a melody that can be used in an happy animation, funny kids video or a playful series film. It has playful sounds throughout the song creating a nice childish ambient. It offers a nice combination of piano, drums, tuba, flute, bells, guitar and violins that makes the melody unique and contemporary.

Meeting learning goals with a below average course
Jeff Johnson (presented as a session at the workshop)
During the fall 2006 semester I taught a first year writing seminar entitled "The World's Oceans in the Global Environment," a course designed to introduce students to important topics in marine science in the context of Earth systems science, as well as key issues in ocean policy (e.g., fisheries, implementation of marine protected areas, etc.). As a writing seminar, most student work during the semester was in the form of writing assignments.
Information from a variety of sources (performance on assignments and the final exam, comments written on the last day of class, and feedback provided by the college-administered course evaluation and the Student Assessment of Learning Gains (SALG) survey at the end of the semester) indicates that students made significant gains in their understanding of Earth system science, particularly the workings of the marine environment. They are also much more aware of the current threats to the world's oceans and understand some of the implications of these threats to human society. Information from the above sources also indicates that the writing and information literacy goals of the course were largely met.
Despite these successes of the course, overall the students rated the course below average and rated my effectiveness as an instructor in communicating with the class and in stimulating their interest in the material below average (< 3 on a scale of 1-5). I knew going into the semester that motivating students to prepare for class and then to engage them in meaningful discussion would be a challenge, and indeed that was my biggest frustration with the course. Results from the course and SALG evaluations show that it was the students' biggest frustration as well. I am very interested and enthusiastic about the course topic and so I'm disappointed that a number of students were bored by me and the course. It is clear to me that my inability to engage students in the affective domain played an important part in the low student satisfaction.
I hope to teach the course again next year and I need to figure out how to significantly increase student satisfaction with the course. I see paying greater attention to the affective domain as a critical piece in improving this course.
These responses were generated at the workshop by small groups of participants.
Connect writing to science as a product or expression of human culture
Matt Nyman, Claudia Khourey-Bowers, and Pat Hauslein
- Low self-efficacy in working with primary literature.
- Preconception that writing is dislocated to science.
- Resistance to being active scholars in science
- Have students present an end-of-course symposium on policy issues to the university community, to showcase their scientific knowledge and ability to communicate to a broad community.
- Use articles from various kinds of journals on same topic by having students contrast/compare writing styles, use of jargon, treatment of content, credibility, etc, to build mastery.
- Bring in short biographies and scientific contributions of individuals who have been important in the field to get across the human origin of scientific knowledge.
- Engage students in simple original research that would be suitable for publication in student journals to make them aware of their possibilities in adding to scientific knowledge base.
- As part of the weekly writing assignments, have students reflect on the challenges they had in completing the assignments, in terms of scientific language, writing style, scientific concepts, and lines of argument. Each of these reflections could be incorporated into a portfolio or blog as a narrative of the students' personal growth.
Through the eyes of the students
Alan Boyle, Dorothea Ivanova, Kathie Owens, Kelly Rocca, and Jennifer Stempien
When students come into a course that is "writing intensive," especially in a science course, they may have initial issues with the amount of writing that occurs in the course (hence, the comments from students like "... endless writing assignments"). Since the course is considered by the university to be "writing intensive," there still needs to be a significant amount of writing in the course by all students. Unless there is a specific number of pages designated by the university, the writing could be lessened, especially for first-semester students (if this is what all students are in this course). Possibly, the course could be offered in the Spring instead of the Fall semester so the students have a bit more background in writing (introductory Freshmen writing course) before taking an intensive writing course outside of their discipline.
During the first week of class, the professor could ask students what they hope to gain from the course (including the science topic itself and the writing material—to remind them that this is writing intensive) and what their backgrounds are like (i.e., how much writing they have done outside of English courses). This will allow them to feel that they are a part of the decision-making in the course. Throughout the semester, the professor could ask for student feedback (anonymously) and make changes based on this feedback, where appropriate. Students could meet with individuals at the university's writing institute/center if this is available (or a tutoring center). They could also meet in groups in within the course (as Jennifer Husman stated in her earlier presentation today). It is important for students to have feedback along the way on each of their assignments—from the professor, and possibly from other sources (peers, groups, writing tutors). The writing assignments themselves could be changed along the way to reflect the progress of individuals and the class as a whole.
There needs to be a balance between writing about cognitive aspects of the course material, and writing about reflections and opinions. Along with this, students could be assessed by measures other than their writing. Examinations, homework, participatory exercises, etc., could all be a part of the course grade. This will allow students to be assessed on their knowledge of the course in a variety of ways, while still maintaining the writing component of the course. By only requiring writing assignments, students were not able to exercise their strength in multiple learning styles.
As in any course, having multiple methods of instruction (i.e., movies, lecture, discussion, group work, guest speakers, video clips, use of computer-aided instruction, etc.), would be helpful to provoke their minds to get into the writing aspects. Trying to make the content "fun" and enjoyable for the students can help open their creative abilities in writing. To do so, the professor needs to be "student-centered" and to focus the course around the abilities and interests of the students.
Reassess evaluations and expectations
Mimi Fuhrman, Al Werner, Tania Vislova, and Dexter Perkins
- The instructor feels that his class is not successful as it could be because students rated it "below average" and rated him as a below average instructor
- Instructor's expectations were that discussions could have been more interactive, lively, and robust
- Course and instructor are perceived as boring and unenjoyable by some students (and instructor believes that this is a valid problem)
- In addition to the writing goals, the instructor should add as a goal that he wants students to help the him become a better teacher and the course to be enjoyable and "successful" (at meeting the goals)
- At the beginning of the course, the instructor needs to be explicit about what the goals are and how he plans to meet those goals.
- Add activities that allow students to give feedback about instruction
- writing assignment about how course is meeting its goals
- small-group diagnosis
- revisit goals periodically
- connect classroom activities to the goals
- assess periodically whether you are reaching the goals
- AND FINALLY: make sure that the evaluation instrument that you are using to evaluate the course and instructor matches the stated goals
- Instructor should not worry too much about the results of the first evaluation—little tweaks might be sufficient to effect the desired results
- Instructor should reassess his expectations of himself as an instructor
Facilitating Student Engagement
Tom Kobella, LeeAnn Srogi, Lensyl Urbano, and Martina Nieswandt
Dear Jeff,
After heated and constructive discussions of your teaching dilemma we have developed the following suggestions and recommendations for your next course. We concentrate on greater variety and choice to stimulate interest and enhance student motivation.
We believe that the following aspects will facilitate student engagement (interest and motivation):
- Use multiple writing genres, e.g., first person narratives about students' experiences with oceans, poems, advertisements
- Write for different audiences, e.g., narrative or short story about individual experience with and perceptions of the course for next semester students or student newspaper
- Give students opportunities to revise their writing assignments
- Provide models for different writing genres
- Use different instructional strategies beside lectures such as individual or group presentations to make class more student-centered
- Integrate media in addition to texts such as movies, guest speakers, and field trips
- Integrate students' personal interest in topics, assignments and assessment: allow specialization
We hope that this list or recommendation will help you to make the course better and more satisfying for yourself and your students. Please keep us posted about your experiences.
All the best,
Tom, Lensyl, LeeAnn and Martina

News Release: March 21, 2013
Docket Nos. RM12-4-000
Item No. E-5
FERC Approves Vegetation Management Rules to Improve Electric Reliability
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission took steps to ensure continued reliable operation of the nations bulk power system today by approving new rules for managing vegetation along power line rights of way.
In approving rules proposed by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the Commission noted that vegetation management does not necessarily mean removal of trees, and that transmission owners should work with landowners to determine an appropriate approach that assures reliability and respects private land owner concerns.
This approach requires clear communications between transmission owners and private landowners; and meaningful outreach should indicate how a transmission owner plans to execute vegetation management along the right-of-way, FERC said, adding that a transmission owners decision to remove vegetation should not be ascribed to the Commission.
The NERC proposal expands the applicability of existing vegetation management rules to include certain transmission lines that operate at below 200 kilovolts that have been identified as having system limitations, such as voltage or transfer limits, that if violated could lead to system instability or cascading outages, sets a new minimum annual inspection requirement and incorporates new minimum clearance distances into the text of the standard.
The final rule takes effect 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.

Valverde named as Valencia coach until end of season
Madrid, Dec 4 (IANS): Ernesto Valverde was named the Spain football club Valencia's coach until the end of the 2012/13 season.
The former Athletic Club Bilbao, Espanyol, Villarreal and Olympiakos coach signed a contract Monday with the club until the end of the season and replaces Mauricio Pellegrino, who was sacked Saturday night following a 2-5 home defeat against Real Sociedad, reports Xinhua.
Pellegrino lasted just 15 league games at the club and in a press conference Sunday criticised the club for what he considered to be a hasty decision motivated by fear following the angry reaction of the notoriously fickle Valencia fans following the defeat.
Valverde has been widely tipped to return to Athletic Club Bilbao at the end of the current season and his decision to sign only until the end of the current campaign leaves that option open.
Although his agreement with Valencia does give him an option to extend his deal with them should they finish fourth and qualify for next season's Champions League, something that looks unlikely at the moment, given that Valencia have just 18 points from 15 games and are 12th in the BBVA Primera Liga season.
Valverde has an impressive curriculum as coach, having led Athletic to fifth in the league and the semi-final of the Copa del Rey and taking Espanyol to the final of the UEFA Cup.
Although he was not successful at Villarreal, he left the club in a comfortable mid-table position, while in Greece he took Olympiakos to three league and two cup titles in three years, in two separate spells in charge of the club.
His first game with Valencia will be their Champions League tie in Lille Wednesday night.

MAZAMA At the end of the first week clearing snow from the North Cascades Highway and more snow forecast for this weekend, the state is still on track to reopen the road in mid-May.
"A productive day, despite a little afternoon snowfall," Department of Transportation spokesman Jeff Adamson wrote in a report Friday.
Saturday carried a 50 percent chance of snow or rain, with less than half an inch of accumulation, according to the National Weather Service. Blue skies and sunshine are predicted for Monday and Tuesday, and rain might move into the area later in the week.
Starting Monday, crews on the east side of the highway began work at Early Winter's Information Center and managed to clear eight miles' worth of roadway by Friday.
An avalanche technician, Harlan Sheppard, was brought in to keep an eye on things, Adamson said.
On the west side, 14 miles were cleared from Diablo Gate to Granite Creek, where snow measured more than four feet deep, he said. The crew also took care of a snow slide at Ruby Ridge.
When the crews began, snow at Washington Pass measured 10 feet – twice as much as last year, according to the state – and below the Liberty Bell avalanche chute, it was 35 feet.
Adamson suggested drivers check the Northwest Avalanche Center website, www.nwac.us, before traveling into the area.
The highway was closed Dec. 3, 2013. Last year, the highway reopened April 16, only about three weeks after crews began clearing out the snow.
In the highway's history since it first opened in 1972, it has been closed every winter but one, 1976-77.
