Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Just a little something i threw together.
Tired it in a game and I thought it was a well played out build.
Originally I use this build on Karthus (this is a different build made by someone else, no i did not copy it).
I put the Needlessly large rod in there to replace the soul stealer, say if your having a bad game and cant seem to keep the stacks, just replace it with the rod, plus it gives more AP than the stealer its self.
Please rate and comment.

Leave it to Chelsea Handler to bust David Letterman's chops on his own show.
After Letterman asked Handler what she thought about the late-night landscape, the funny gal said, "It's a hot mess. No one can keep their job for very long it seems. You're lucky to be here at CBS."
And then she went in for the kill.

North Along the Andaman Coast to the Newest Resort
This is another beautiful place to visit. It can
be a day trip, returning to sleep on Phuket, or one can easily find
accommodation and stay overnight. Khao Lak is one of the up-and-coming
satellite resorts that is growing rapidly to satisfy the demand of those
wishing to get further away from Phuket.
To get to Khao Lak, where most of the accommodation is found, it takes only two
hours from the south end of Phuket, and little more than an hour once you have
crossed the Sarasin
Bridge onto the mainland.
There are many interesting distractions along the side roads to stretch this
out. These include several waterfalls along the east side of the road, several
of which are clearly sign-posted. At Tap Lamu there is a fishing and navy port
from which many tour boats leave for the Similan Islands.
After leaving Phuket
Island the drive is long and flat,
till the road winds up over the mountain at the tiny Khao Lak National Park. After crossing the
forest-engulfed peak, the road suddenly noses out to the edge of the mountain,
giving panoramic ocean views of the coast stretching northwards. A small
road-side restaurant clings to the side of the mountain here, offering with the
best views of this entire drive.
This mountain marks the beginning of miles of quiet beach where many new
bungalow resorts are springing up among the casaurina trees, making it very
easy to find accommodation. About a dozen resorts, from small to medium in size
and price, are clustered in the first few kilometres. As one drives further
north, the road follows the coast but is usually a couple of kilometres inland.
There are occasional signs along the road indicating more isolated bungalows and
resorts hugging the coastline.
This coastal drive continues all the way to Ranong, a provincial town that
borders Burma (Myanmar). The
immigration post on the river there will usually allow both Thais and
foreigners to take the short boat ride over to Victoria
Point in Burma during daylight hours,
returning the same day. Shopping for Burmese goods is popular, and there is a
Thai-operated casino on the Burmese side also.

An open-source tool that provides PDF transcripts of speeches.
Read the whole story
Does it even matter what a politician or public official says?
I'm wondering if this tool will mark them up with metadata, preparing them for machine understanding?*
*I'm thinking Semantic web

No doubt it will evolve over time. Support it if you can, because this is the sort of thing, so long as it is not corrupted, that will help secure civil society for future generations.
I am a little bit confused. The subhead says that the tool "provides PDF transcripts of speeches". The text says that transcripts "can be stripped out of PDFs", and seems to suggest that the tool is about translating transcripts from many formats (.doc files, .pdf, and so on) to a single more standard format. And then publishes them to some sort of public database?
> Transcripts can be stripped out of PDFs—a search-unfriendly data format
I'm not sure I understand. Why are PDFs search-unfriendly? I search in PDF documents all the time and it works pretty well.
They should have named it better. "I" (uppercase i) is a terrible letter to use for the first letter of a word in CamelCase. I keep reading it as "saylt" (with lowercase L).

- Pioneers of the environmentally friendly conferencing program -
TORONTO, March 28, 2007 - Businesses are embracing Fairmont Hotel and Resorts' respect for the environment and promotion of sustainable tourism by rallying behind its Eco-Meet program now available at all of its properties. A staunch advocate of environmental stewardship within the travel and tourism industry, Fairmont was the first major hotel company in North America to include green business practices as an intrinsic part of its operations. Another major milestone as the pioneer of going green is the brand-wide launch of the Eco-Meet program - an environmentally friendly conferencing program, intended to minimize harm to the environment during meetings, conferences and similar events.Eco-Meet was developed as a "green meeting" and conference planning option. In this way, meeting planners can organize conferences and events that consider the environment, result in reduced waste, and also conserve valuable resources.Michelle White, Director, Environmental Affairs, states, "We recognize that many corporations, including Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, have adopted a mandate of environmental responsibility." She continues, "When selecting a venue for a green event, meeting planners will consider all aspects of the hotel or resort's accommodation, operations, programs and policies as part of our Eco-Meet initiative."Meeting planners wanting to "green" their events can work with Fairmont's knowledgeable staff to tailor aspects of this unique program, which consists of four key components, to suit their needs:
Eco-service provides "disposable-free" food and beverage services and recycling stations in the meeting rooms. This service is an important element to a greener meeting and, for example, includes china and cutlery used instead of disposal items, linen napkins instead of paper, and centerpieces that are edible/organic or made from reusable items such as silk flowers. White boards are used rather than paper flip charts.Eco-accommodation offers in-room information, recycling bins, optional sheet and towel replacement at select properties, energy-efficient lighting, and water-conserving showerheads, toilets and tap aerators.Eco-cuisine menus incorporate local, seasonal and organically grown foods wherever possible. Special menus for Eco-Meet can also include a 50-percent reduction in animal proteins, supplemented by vegetable proteins at meal functions. Fairmont properties having their own herb gardens or the availability of the seasonings locally feature dishes with those ingredients. The emphasis is on healthy, environmentally friendly and delicious food.Eco-programming provides activities and guest-speakers to complement the Eco-Meet experience. Whether it's a keynote address, a full-day team building eco-experience or something in-between, Fairmont's eco-programming educates and informs meeting delegates, while providing innovative and exceptional meeting services. There are also paperless services available for events including a dedicated TV channel to provide information and updates to delegates, electronic paperless check-in/checkout and e-mailed contracts and information used where possible. Fairmont will also assist meeting planners to offset their event's greenhouse gas emissions by purchasing green tags/energy certificates. Eco-Meet is available at all Fairmont properties. Meeting planners can also download a copy of Fairmont's new green meeting checklist at www.fairmont.com/ecomeet. Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is a leader in sustainable tourism and was the first major hotel chain in North America to embrace environmental stewardship in its daily operations through the implementation of its own Green Partnership Program. The program focuses on improvements in the areas of waste management, energy and water conservation, as well as a strong element of community outreach through local groups and partnerships. More information about Fairmont's award-winning Green Partnership Program is available at www.fairmont.com/environment.Featuring a collection of fabled castles, secluded lodges, storied meeting places and modern retreats, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts opens the doors to some of the world's most celebrated addresses. With locations throughout ten countries, our 50 distinctive hotels - including The Fairmont San Francisco, The Fairmont Banff Springs and London's Savoy - promise travelers rich experiences and lasting memories in unparalleled settings. Committed to growing its portfolio of world-class hotels, Fairmont will soon reflag four hotels in Kenya and anticipates the 2007 re-opening of New York's famed Plaza Hotel. Future Fairmont Hotels & Resorts also include locations in Cairo, Abu Dhabi, Vancouver and South Africa. Fairmont Raffles Holdings International owns and operates over 120 hotels worldwide under the Fairmont, Raffles, Swissôtel and Delta brands, as well as vacation ownership properties managed by Fairmont Heritage Place.

Well, the fix is in, "S.W.O.R.D." will be ending after its fifth issue, but that doesn't mean the series is dead yet, as the third issue is the book's best yet. While the first two issues suffered a little by having too much going on with the two different plots, this one settles into a nice rhythm by streamlining things down to one central plot as Henry Gyrich has taken over S.W.O.R.D. and is kicking all of the aliens off of Earth. Including S.W.O.R.D.'s commander, Abigail Brand.
The issue begins with Brand telling Beast, her boyfriend, not to break her out of the holding cell and, judging from his response, what do you think he spends the rest of the issue doing? If you guessed 'sip some tea, listen to an opera, and hope for the best,' well, you're wrong. He, of course, works on a way not just to rescue his girlfriend, but also stop Gyrich's plan to deport all of the aliens on Earth. How he goes about it involves some smart thinking and a few unexpected surprises. Gillen's writing of Hank McCoy is some of the best in recent years as he's full of charm and wit, and clearly shows off his intelligence when needed. Beast here is a fun, fearless superhero and is probably the best thing about the series.
Though, Beast's look has also been the most controversial part of the series with Steven Sanders depicting the character in an exaggerated, cartoonish look that differs from the restrained look used by most artists. While I'm not a fan of this version, it does suit Gillen's writing well and Sanders uses it play up the fun, charming aspects of the character. Sander's clean style is very attractive and he does facial expressions well, but his use of perspective is distracting as he often chooses 'looking up/down' perspectives in panels instead of more traditional 'head on' ones. In some instances, like the conversation between Hank and Unit where the two are on different levels, making the perspective Sanders uses represent the character's perspective. The rest of the issue, it brings the reader out of the moment with unnecessary showiness.
While the plot of Beast and his allies working against Gyrich here is well executed, there are a few minor problems. The origin of Unit given here is underwhelming and detracts from the mysterious nature of the character. While it's a change of pace to have his origin given so quickly, it's actually rather dull and uninteresting. As well, the cliffhanger for this issue also lacks the dramatic flair one would hope to see. Like disliking the Beast's depiction visually, these are small complaints that can't overshadow the quality of the comic, but do warrant attention.
It's sad to see that "S.W.O.R.D." won't be given much of a chance to find its feet or an audience as it has improved with each successive issue. Kieron Gillen and Steven Sanders work very well together and this is the most entertaining that Hank McCoy has been since Grant Morrison was writing him.

Abstract: An adaptive grid dynamical core for a global atmospheric climate model has been developed. Adaptations allow a smooth transition from hydrostatic to non-hydrostatic physics at small resolution. The adaptations use a parallel program library for block-wise adaptive grids on the sphere. This library also supports the use of a reduced grid with coarser resolution in the longitudinal direction as the poles are approached. This permits the use of a longer time step since the CFL number restriction (CFL < 1) in a regular longitude-latitude grid is most severe in the zonal direction at high latitudes. Several tests show that our modelling procedures are stable and accurate.
Keywords: advection, atmospheric modeling, sperical adaptive grid, adaptive block, parallel computing, adaptive mesh refinement

Manufacturers of intraoral scanners often use the terms "true," "precise" and "accurate" interchangeably to describe their scanners, but what role do these concepts play in digital impressions and the final restoration or appliance? In fact, according to a recent study, "Accuracy of four intraoral scanners in oral implantology: a comparative in vitro study,"1 published by the scientific journal BMC Oral Health, for an intraoral scanner to be considered accurate it needs both trueness and precision.
Trueness refers to whether a measurement matches the actual quantity being measured, while precision indicates the ability of that measurement to be consistently repeated. Therefore, for a scanner to be called accurate it must deliver consistent results, even when it is used to obtain different measurements of the same object. In this way, an intraoral scanner should detect all impression details and generate a virtual 3D model that is as close to the initial rendering as possible. Continue reading

Giacomo Puccini's operas — "Manon Lescaut," "Madama Butterfly" and "Tosca," among them — are nothing if not melodramatic, and his personal life was every bit as lurid.
So there's no faulting the man or his music for the fact that the Dicapo Opera's "Puccini's Passion," a biographical drama with music, failed to enthrall.
According to the piece that opened Thursday, the maestro's love life crossed the fine line between "ladies' man" and "horndog": After stealing another man's wife, he cheated on her with a string of other women.
In "Passion," we meet the elderly Puccini on the way to Brussels for cancer surgery. His many affairs, he explains, inspired him to create the heroines of his operas — as illustrated by a group of singers who appear intermittently to perform the composer's greatest hits.
About half of the show's two-hour running time is given over to musical selections ranging from the obscure early "Le Villi" to "Turandot," which the composer was still writing when he died after that Brussels surgery in 1924.
Dicapo's capo, Michael Capasso, does double duty, co-writing the piece and playing Puccini. Frankly, the show needs either a better script or a better actor. The dialogue is stilted and overstuffed with factoids, and the stiff Capasso's Long Guyland twang hardly suggested a suave playboy composer.
Better, if overlong, is the singing, accompanied by Pacien Mazzagatti from an upstage grand piano. Soprano Elana Gleason flaunted pinpoint finesse on high B's and C's in arias from "La Boheme" and "La Rondine," while tenor Alex Richardson sweetly voiced the amorous heroes of "Boheme" and "Butterfly."
Not so successful is the leathery tenor Vincenzo Scuderi, who growled numbers from "Tosca" and "La Fanciulla del West" before closing the show with an ear-splitting "Nessun Dorma."
Don't get me wrong: I still have a passion for Puccini — but only for the music, not this gossipy play.

9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were.

Evaluation & Negotiation
Give ICBA the Best Program Possible!
We expect the best program available. If your program is not your best offer, we want to know what will make it possible for ICBA stores to get your best program.
Review Proposals
Proposals are reviewed and evaluated to select a short list of companies with written responses that best addresses the ICBA stores' priorities and interests. After initial written proposals have been evaluated, a negotiation process may take place.
After reviewing the initial written proposals, ICBA may select a short list of companies to enter into simultaneous negotiations. Price, although a consideration, is not the sole determining factor.
Negotiation takes place with the vendor to improve the proposal. At the conclusion of the negotiation process, companies may be asked to submit a written "best and final offer" to memorialize the agreements reached and, if desired, to extend additional benefits.
An invitation to submit a "best and final offer" is not automatic. If at the conclusion of the negotiation process, ICBA feels further evaluation of an offer is not needed, and is unlikely to end in a contract award to the vendor, the vendor is notified that their participation has been terminated.
The negotiation process stops upon submission of the "best and final" offer. Companies are not permitted to make further adjustments to their offer or to communicate with ICBA, except to respond to requests for clarification.
ICBA makes the final decision based on the initial written proposal, negotiation sessions, the "best and final offer", and the company's ability to meet the ICBA stores' needs and interests.
To evaluate and guide decisions includes, but is not limited, to the following topics:
Customer Service/Sales Representation
Prices and Pricing Policy
Terms & Conditions
Order Minimums
Association Program Support
Co-operative Advertising Program

My name is Muluken Girma, 32. I was born and raised in Addis. After completing my regular elementary and secondary schooling, I studied Accounting and graduated in Diploma from Mekelle University. Then, I studied Tour Operation and Travel Management at the Catering and Tourism Training Institute for two years and graduated in Diploma with ' Distinctions' ranking. Then, I worked as a permanent tour operator and guide for five years at two well known tour companies in Addis. Since August 2009, I have been working as a freelance tour guide to all parts of Ethiopia. In addition to living in Addis, and professional knowledge and years of experience I got, I am passionate for guiding. Tour guiding is not only my way of earning money, it is my way of life. I also do consult on travel in Ethiopia. Contact me soon and save your lifetime memory of tour experience in Ethiopia.
5. What is your most popular travel package and why?
Our popular tour package is to the tribal people of south and southwestern Ethiopia as the founder has years of experience of guiding groups of tourists, knows the area very well, and manages to quote the best price for the trip.
6. What is the best compliment you received from a client?
"I am extremely impressed by the service offered by Muluken. From his quick response to my one thousand email questions, to his efficient handling of the tour. Our party of 9 people had a wonderful day, touring the surroundings of Addis Ababa - a day that ended in a well-deserved round of applause for Muluken and the team. Top class service for VIP guests and an amazing personal touch made this tour a highlight of our trip."

The arguments run something like this:
- Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the economic life-blood of the nation, contributing more jobs and prosperity than any other part of the economy. In a time of recession, more needs to be done to encourage them and make them successful. We should focus G0vernment efforts on this sector rather than the bloated banking sector or other areas that can and should take care of themselves.
- We can no longer compete with countries such as China for basic manufacturing, and we are not as good as Americans at sales. Our "added value" comes from professional services, from basic science, inventions and R&D, and from the creative industries. In many of these sectors, intellectual property (IP) is of central importance.
- The IP system – particularly protection and enforcement – is designed for the needs of major companies. While it may work well for huge disputes between tablet computer companies, or between a pharmaceutical company and its rivals, it works less well for SMEs, who cannot afford to protect or enforce their IP or defend themselves from predatory multinationals.
Put these arguments together, like sand and cement in a concrete mixer, tip up the mixer, and out comes a slurry of quick-setting political conclusions. Now let's slake the mix with some further ingredients:
- the fact that many SMEs are ignorant of how to manage IP assets
- the fact that the UK Intellectual Property Office's traditional role of administering the filing of patents and trade marks is diminishing, as larger and more experienced companies choose to file at a European level, leaving the IPO to deal mostly with the said, ignorant SMEs
- the fact that Government largely doesn't understand IP, as it is a technical subject that has little in the way of populist appeal; it is difficult to reduce it to soundbites that can be traded with John Humphries on the Today programme
- the fact that successive Governments have commissioned expensive reports on how to improve the IP system, mostly chaired by journalists (why?), none of which has provided the simple panacea that Government was looking for
- the only people who seem to really understand the IP system are IP lawyers, but Government doesn't much like listening to IP lawyers – thinks they are just an interest group, and one with few votes – and prefers the advice of business people and journalists; lawyers have largely been excluded from the bodies writing the expensive reports
- when Government does have to tackle the subject, it relies too much on the only branch of Government that understands the technicalities – the IPO; the IPO relishes this responsibility, like any good civil service department, as it increases its influence within Government, but its skills are better suited to administering IP filings than advancing the policy debate
Extending the concrete analogy to breaking point, the 'muck' is now used to build the foundations of a Government IP policy. The focus is to be on the needs of SMEs – educating them about the possibilities of IP, and making it easier and cheaper for them to manage their IP assets. The IPO is given responsibility for the education role, and for being the decision-making arm of Government when it comes to changes to the IP system that favour SMEs (eg the introduction of the small-claims court for IP litigation). Money is pumped into start-up businesses in an area of East London that is quickly dubbed Silicon Roundabout.
IP Draughts believes that the above description is a reasonable summary of how the IP policy debate has run. Some of it seems to make sense, eg the introduction of a small-claims track for IP claims, but much will depend on how efficiently the court works in practice and how litigants use it. It is too early to come up with a soundbite that the new court rules are good or bad.
Other parts of the debate and conclusions don't make much sense. SMEs cannot be reduced to a single body, with a unique set of aspirations and requirements. The market-stall that sells hot food probably doesn't need to care too much about IP, unless its owner has ambitions to sell a version of the food to supermarkets, like Levi Roots and his Reggae-Reggae sauce. This type of SME usually has very different ambitions to a biotech start-up like Biovex, which was spun out of University College London and which IP Draughts advised for several years (but not on corporate matters!). Biovex was purchased by Amgen last year for a price stated to be "up to $1 billion". IP was very important to Biovex, and its management understood IP issues well.
So, the SMEs that need to be educated about IP are actually a subset of the total number of SMEs: the ones that are not running sophisticated, IP-intensive businesses, and yet are not local shopkeepers and traders who have no real need to understand IP. IP Draughts is concerned that current "awareness raising" by the IPO is not focussed enough on educating specific types of SME and is too general to be useful. IP Draughts would target specific categories of SME, eg young graduates starting their first business. IP Draughts fears that the IPO's focus is on the needs of self-filers who are too poor, mean or ignorant to take legal advice when they apply for patents, trade marks or registered designs. The IPO understands these people because it has to deal with them, but they are probably the last category of SME that IP Draughts would focus Government training and support on.
It is also of concern that the IPO runs its training activities (or did, when last IP Draughts discussed the matter with them) through its marketing department. Education and training is a specialist discipline and needs to be treated as such. If the IPO is to continue with this training role, it needs to recruit people who are dedicated and experienced in management training, or work with an outside body.
To come back to the title of this article: does the IP system work for SMEs? That is too general a question to get a meaningful answer. It is like asking, does the tax system work for SMEs? The answer depends partly on who you ask, and what their particular business needs are.
IP Draughts believes that the IP system is essentially not broken, so doesn't need any major "fix". And that it is important for the economy to have a stable system that is consistent over time and doesn't change to meet short-term political preferences. And that the system should not focus exclusively on SMEs – important as they are, they probably contribute less to the economy in IP-intensive sectors than major companies do.
The biggest issue for many SMEs, apart from understanding the system, is the cost of enforcement, and real progress is being made in this area in England and Wales with the Patents County Court and its excellect judge, Colin Birss. It remains to be seen how the (very) small claims track, currently being introduced, will work.
Could more be done, and more importantly should more be done, to help SMEs make use of the IP system? Yes, in some cases it should. IP Draughts would like to see a short course on IP in every degree course, and particularly in subject areas such as science, engineering, the creative arts, media and business.

Why come to our painting school?
Our painting and drawing courses-workshops offer students a unique combination of innovative ideas and practical suggestions unavailable elsewhere. These can transform the working practice of anyone who is seriously interested in painting or drawing, and they can do this for students of all levels of achievement, whatever their particular aims and problems, and whether their work is figurative or abstract.
"A very different and vastly more interesting type of artistic education than I have met before." – Yolanda Hart
Long years of experience
For over 29 years both new and returning students have benefited from the Course Director's long years of experience as a caring and supportive teacher. His informed eye and attentive ear gives them confidence and encourages their individuality.
"I really valued the way you looked with me at what I was trying to paint. You gave me the confidence to tackle things I wouldn't have dared try out." – Cathy Walker
Stimulating ideas and teaching
The small groups and the splendid setting give the ideal context for helping students to develop their personal creativity in the style and medium of their choice.
"A magical place, good company, intensely stimulating ideas and teaching. I came to Montmiral to have my eyes stretched and I do not think I have ever looked so hard." – Unity Couzens
Unique specialist knowledge
Before setting up the Painting School of Montmiral here in S.W. France, the Course Director, Francis Pratt, was the Cottrell Memorial Fellow at the University of Stirling, Scotland. As a consequence, he is able to offer his students the fruits of his university research on how artists use their eyes when painting and drawing. His teaching integrates the positives from traditional artistic practices with game-changing ideas from science. The outcome is a wide range of new and practical approaches to subjects of fundamental importance in drawing and painting. Special knowledge is available on all aspects of colour in paintings, as well as on the depiction of light and space. Francis makes use of accuracy, not as an end in itself, but as a tool for looking in new ways. All subjects are taught in ways that have been shown, over nearly thirty years, to foster personal expression and creativity.
"This course, with its application and explanation of the latest researches in both colour and line psychology, completely redefines and resolves the anomalies of what we see. The reference to proven research and the patient explanations of its implications with respect to how the brain receives and interprets information provides a fundamentally sound approach commonly lacking in other courses and literature." – Iain McCowan

The Lake Forest City Council Saturday unanimously accepted the resignation of an alderman named in a report by a former U.S. attorney as being set to profit from a $3 million development that had won zoning changes from the council.
Ald. L. Robert Pasquesi (1st) was cited last Tuesday in a report by former U.S. Atty. Samuel Skinner. The report said Pasquesi and a partner were about to reap a $410,000 profit from land they had purchased and contracted to sell for a medical office building.

Joss Whedon On THE AVENGERS Climax & Sequel; Steve Rogers' POV No Longer Story's Focus
Touching on the film's "enormous" climax, as well as plans for
The Avengers
sequel, Joss Whedon reveals Captain America's point-of-view won't be centralized as planned. Check it out!
Filed Under: "
Source: Total Film
Considering the summer blockbuster is near-completed, Joss Whedon has been able to talk more freely and mindfully about
Marvel's The Avengers
; as showcased with the many interviews during SXSW weekend. And now, the writer-director has offered up even more deets in the latest issue of
Total Film
Having such a wide variety of characters, initially Whedon sought focus by telling the story largely from one person's perspective; defrosted WW2 super-soldier Captain America.
"That was the plan anyway"
. However,
"In the final cut that's probably not true,"
Whedon reveals.
"There was stuff with Cap I cut out. Although he has an 'in' with the audience in that this world is stranger to him, so he's an identification figure."
The climax Whedon pitched Marvel was so enormous that it was apparent there wouldn't be enough time or money to pull it off,
"But that's exactly what we shot,"
he reveals. The scale is
"quite large"
, but it's not about that.
"Its the toll it takes,"
Whedon says.
"I find superhero movies to be a little too neat. And when you have Earth's mightiest heroes - like Thor, you know Thor! - you have to put them in a situation that makes you feel like they're not all going to make it." "The climax of this movie isn't one where you go, 'Oh yes, there's the Avengers, good for them, bye!'" When it all hits, it hits hard."
Whedon then went on to discuss
The Avengers
potential sequel, essentially revealing that he went all-out to avoid
Iron Man 2
syndrome, where the story's reduced to a series of sequel-pointers.
"We DO give a nod to a greater problem than the one solved in this film."
says Whedon.
"I'm a great believer in the idea that if you make the first one to be a 'first one,' then you have already failed,"
asserts Whedon.
"As much as we want to service the idea of a film in a franchise, I want this to be a satisfying film experience. I don't want people to go out saying, "When's the next part?" I want people to say, "Oh, I want to see that again!"
Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures "Marvel's The Avengers"--the super hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel super heroes Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins.
Starring Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson, & directed by Joss Whedon from a screenplay by Joss Whedon, "Marvel's The Avengers" is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series "The Avengers," first published in 1963 and a comics institution ever since. Prepare yourself for an exciting event movie, packed with action and spectacular special effects, when "Marvel's The Avengers" assemble on May 4, 2012. The film is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. In addition to "Marvel's The Avengers," Marvel Studios will release a slate of films based on the Marvel characters including "Iron Man 3" on May 3, 2013!; and "Thor 2" on November 15, 2013.

I have added something, to the fan art page, for those of you that insist what I depict in Saving Tomorrow is my imagination. My writing comes from dreams whether you believe that or not. Just yesterday someone told me things about Grapes of Rome that not even I noticed before.
Now here is a photo of a rock. not just any rock mind you.These small spheres about an inch or so in diameter, with three parallel lines traced along the sides, have been dug up for many years by miners in South Africa. The kicker here is that the rock they are found in, Precambrian, is dated back 2.8 billion years. So believe me or not, man is older than you can ever imagine.

Great free alternative to Stereoscopic Player, works nicely with bigscreen beta.
* Download: https://mpc-hc.org/downloads/
* Download and register madVR: http://www.madvr.com/
* Download the associated MKV library:
* 32-bit: http://files.1f0.de/lavf/plugins/libmfxsw32-v1.7z
* 64-bit: http://files.1f0.de/lavf/plugins/libmfxsw64-v1.7z
* Install MPC-HC and bigscreen beta (or similar software with SBS function)
* Copy the MVC library to the LAVFilters folder as described below in the changelog
* Open an MVC mkv (probably needs encryption removed)
I assume it would work for blu ray 3d's out of the box if you have anydvd or similar installed.
VSync on seemed best for me
madVR seems to be quite demanding and makes ASW want to kick in, if someone can find a way to get it working without that would probably be ideal.
The ideal would be to skip the SBS step entirely and have each image being sent directly to the appropriate screen of the rift rather but not sure we would see that any time soon.
LAV Splitter: Support demuxing H264 MVC
LAV Video Decoder: Add a basic H264 MVC decoder based on Intel MediaSDK. Note that for now the Intel MediaSDK library is not distributed with MPC-HC. If you want to use this new decoder, you have to download the library
32-bit: http://files.1f0.de/lavf/plugins/libmfxsw32-v1.7z
64-bit: http://files.1f0.de/lavf/plugins/libmfxsw64-v1.7z and decompress it to the LAVFilters(64) folder.
edit: seems madVR is required, if someone can find a way to get it working with the default render that would be handy
edit2: might not work for blu rays directly judging by point 5 of: https://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1752682&postcount=35098 although its an old post

For those who had hoped that Monday's market swoon was a one-time freak occurrence, today's drop of 138 points for the Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES:^DJI) came as a slap in the face for bullish investors.
On the one hand, Monday's themes of weak commodities prices repeated themselves, as oil prices fell another $2 per barrel and gold failed to extend its bounce from Tuesday. Yet technology stocks also fell sharply, with the Nasdaq falling nearly twice as sharply as the Dow as earnings reports from a key iPhone component supplier raised questions about whether Apple will be able to sustain its growth and sent Apple shares to their lowest levels since late 2011.
But even on a down day for the market, four stocks within the Dow managed to post modest gains. Three of them were consumer giants, with Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO), and Home Depot (NYSE:HD) all rising by about half a percent. For J&J, the gains piggybacked on yesterday's even bigger jump in the wake of the health-care conglomerate's earnings report, which featured strong growth from pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter consumer products. With a fairly strong pipeline holding the promise of future successes for its drug unit, Johnson & Johnson just needs to put some of its more troublesome quality-control lapses behind it and move forward.
Meanwhile, Home Depot rose in line with favorable views of the housing market, where the all-important spring listing season has taken hold. The season is also a key one for the home-improvement retailer, as lawn and garden-related purchases are a key driver of seasonal sales for Home Depot. With new home starts moving above the 1 million mark on an annualized basis in March, signs are looking good for Home Depot's continued success.
Coca-Cola's gains also come in the aftermath of a favorable earnings report. Analysts looked favorably on its decision to restructure its relationship with its bottlers to open up new opportunities for the beverage giant. The move could help Coke improve its profit margins, yet the company will still face the potential fallout from rising health-related concerns that have plagued it and its industry peers recently.
The other rising Dow stock was Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), which bucked the downward tech trend and gained a penny. Having already reported earnings, Intel saw the expected declines in PC-related revenue but gains for its data-center division and other more forward-looking business segments. The wild card for the company remains its mobile chips, but investors will have to wait to see how some of its planned products perform after they become available.

Some servers advertise it and thats fine because then I avoid them. Some don't then get pissed off when I zoom past 'em.

Using Words to Help You See: Examining an Author's Word Choices
Lesson 3 of 6
Objective: SWBAT to explain how an author's word choices affect the reader's experience when listening or reading poetry.
Big Idea: Investigating an author's craft is an important skill and helps one have a better understanding of the text being read.
Listen to This
Today when students enter the room, they find the Joyful Noise books and a writing paper on their desks and the ELMO on displaying the poem "Whirligig Beetles". Today's lesson involves discussing poets' word choices and how they contribute to our overall experience of reading the poem. While listening to the poem, students will record what they "see" from the words they hear.
"Whirligig Beetles" does a good job of displaying word choice and in giving the idea of spinning and whirling to the readers.
Before we discuss my poem choice, we revisit yesterday's question- "Did you notice any word choices that really spoke to the motion or the sound of the insect in the poem?" A lot of students raised their hand to answer this question, but none of them were quite on the right track. Most could say that they "saw" the picture, but couldn't pinpoint how word choice helped them do that.
I had them close their eyes as I read "Whirligig Beetles". I told the students to really imagine each word and what it meant- what the bugs were doing. I only read one side of the poem because I needed all students to focus on the vocabulary used. It was difficult for the students to get the full picture (see Reflection) but we got through it.

What Did You See?
After we read the poem, we begin to discuss the vocabulary of "Whirligig Beetles". I want to hear what the students "saw" when I read the poem. Some students were able to tell me that they saw the beetles spinning in the water and that they liked the part where the poet used all the "spinning" words. It wasn't a bad exercise considering that they had a hard time not hearing both voices.
Before I dismiss the students to practice their poems, I tell them that today is the day that they need to choose the poem they will be performing. I tell the students they could read and practice any poems they want to, but at the end of the class, all group members must agree on one poem.
I give them the rest of the time to read and practice.
Let's See It Together
Again, near the end of class, I gather the students back together and ask them if they "saw" anything while they were reading their poems. I wanted to see if the students could transfer the learning we did in the beginning to their own poems. There was a really great answer from a pair of students who read "Water Boatmen". They said that they could "see" the bugs moving their legs each time they called out "Stroke!"
I called the students attention to the poem, "Water Boatmen" and pulled up a youtube video to show a video of a crew and a coxswain and then the water boatman bugs to help marry the words to the images.
This video does a good job of showing rowing, but it's long and you may need to fast forward to about the 40 second mark to get a good shot.
After we watch a bit of the rowing video, I show them a video about water boatmen.
Seeing both of these videos together helped my students marry the images and understand why the author used the analogy of the rowing with the way the water boatman actually looks and moves.
I did have to explain the meaning of coxswain and how in the old days they yelled, "Stroke!". That was the last missing element.

Saint Patrick's Day Panic! Are Supply Shortages and Price Increases Caused by our Environmental Conscience?
Large breweries like Miller, are starting to own their source material by buying up farmable land. Seems smart, but it has the unfortunate affect of increasing the company's water footprint: a big problem for breweries! In fact, the most expensive part of the brewing process is water. Water is the largest input into the process and largest output from the process. It takes a lot of energy and money to course water through the beer making system, not to mention the additional problem that every drop devoted to beer making is a drop not being used for making clean drinking water.
But wait, don't turn from the pub now, there is some good news on the frontlines of the beer-to-suds wars. The industry tends to use terms like waste opportunities , microbial fuel systems and anaerobic digestive systems to describe some of the positive externalities related to the beer making – such as organic matter that turns solid wastes into energy producing material and processes that convert solid waste into reusable water. And beer activists will tell you (and yes, they actually exist) that rootlets, which are spawned from the malting of the barley, if collected, can be used for animal feed. Even reused hops, filtered from the finished wort, can be used as fertilizer, and, residual yeast has been touted as a good source for vitamin B and ends up in pharma products. These beer aficionados ( pardon, activists) will also tell you that the used beer cans and beer bottles can also be recycled. But we all know that recycling is trending down at a rate of 20% per decade, ensuring the beer industry will continue to be a menace to landfills for years to come.(http://www.madehow.com/Volume-2/Beer.html)
So is beer green or not? And if not, who among the brewers are greener than most?
The only economist who I would trust with this question is former Chief Economist for the City of New York and NYU Professor, John Tepper-Marlin in his Huffington Post Blog about the corporate social behavior scoring of three dominant players in the beer industry.
If professor Tepper-Marlin can save our Saint Patty's day, perhaps he can next help us determine whether the beer industry really qualifies as an industry since the three largest players making up 80% market share or whether there might be something entirely different going on to drive up our beer prices!

Former Labor Secretary Reich: CSR "A Pale Substitute" For Regulation
Stanford Law Professor and social entrepreneur Lawrence Lessig challenges this notion, arguing that "there are times when it does make sense to think about the corporation as an entity and to allocate responsibility in that way." However, Lessig agrees that "there is something fundamentally wrong with trusting (corporations) to restrain the drive for profits in the name of doing the right thing... It is government's job to set the appropriate limits on corporations (and individuals) so that... they will not harm a public interest."
On the other hand, Roger Lowenstein questions the wisdom and likelihood of going back to regulation in order to tame the market and some of The Economist critics fear that Reich's approach is merely naive, ignoring the long history of government failures when it tries to, again, catch the government's own tail.
And CSR folks--from the right as well as from the left--respond that corporate social responsibility can satisfy both camps: it is about businesses genuinely becoming more attuned to social and environmental concerns just as much as it is about making a profit.

Embedding CSR practices into all of our lives
Taking CSR out of the board room and putting it into the hands of managers and consumers is the quickest path to eliminating economic incentives that drive businesses to make decisions that are harmful to society.
CSR practices have been frustrated by the lack of integration into broader corporate and commercial strategies. The more we are able to create consumer-led demand that reflects the social values of individuals and managers, the stronger the connections between consumers and corporate behavior. By tightening these connections we ensure that socially harmful decisions will be exposed and socially beneficial decisions will be rewarded. Core to this idea is our ability to concisely deliver an accurate view of corporate social behavior not only to the commerce experience but embedding it at the point of sale.
From there...it's up to the market to decide!

One of the most impressing event of my life I can say.. It was promising lots of excitement at the planning phase..and it was.
When Heidemarie W. Pietzka, my DUO at this workshop, proposed the idea I immediately thought about how we are going to transfer the methodology. Then I said to myself "trust in the process" and my DUO partner has already had experience in organizing a workshop with pupils. I was worried about how we will make them understand the core features. We needed to be understandable because our target group was at the age of 10 which means we had to be concrete, not abstract. So we decided to give only 3 core features which are "slow down", "listen deeply", "speak from the heart" with attractive pictures.
The students were from a public school in Ankara and since they have been told a week before they were very excited too. The workshop consisted 2 parts. At the 1st part we introduced ourselves with explaining the reason why we are there. Since we sat in circular arrangement we had the didactic center in the middle during all parts. We explained the meanings and how the material they see there is used. We had a scarf, a singing bowl, a ball as a talking symbol and 2 pairs of core features in white papers with pictures. The core features we used are "Slow down", "Listen deeply" and "Speak from the heart" in Turkish. Then we asked them to introduce their selves and we asked them to walk to the center, to ring the bowl before they say their name. While the sound of the bowl was still heard they came near to us, got their name cards which we prepared beforehand and went back to their chairs. We aimed to make them get acquainted to the sound of singing bowl and understand slowing down and respect each other.
After introduction part we introduced core features and the meaning of them. We practiced the dialogue session with asking them what they want to talk about. They learned very easily but we had to remind them the core features because as a result of their age they were not patient sometimes and some of them were much eager to express themselves.
After a coffee break when we came back to the room we posted several sheets of the topic of the session on the walls in a visible way for all of them. Before we start the session we reminded them the core features, how to act when they want to talk, what ringing the bowl meant during the session. Then we introduced the subject and the time frame. We needed some silence breaks during the session because of reckless pupils. As reminders we showed the core features when necessary.
We asked the pupils change places for the reflexion part which took place after the dialogue session. At this part we asked them how they felt about dialogue. They told us that they got very excited before the event and after it happened they are happy that they had an experience like this.
The main objective of planning a workshop with pupils is to introduce the methodology at their very early age. At this young age they are already aware of communication problems, they suffer from not being listened. We believe that "as the twig is bent so is the tree inclined", it has been a most remembered memory for them for their whole life.
Sharing the experience with an expert dialogue facilitator has contributed to my personal development. I am grateful that she lit this idea. All photos and videos during the implementation of the content and reflexion part has been done by Peter Seier. Rabia Vezne, my colleague, helped us for the necessary translations. I am thanking them a lot.
Since we emphasized that they are young pioneers of Dialogue their pride on having an experience of dialogue was so visible. They told that they will share the method among their families and friends. Some thought of using it at the class environment.

Happy Memorial Day! I must admit, I am sad to see summer come to an end. My daughter starts middle school tomorrow (yikes!) and my son starts 4th grade. I am not sure I am ready for the chaos of the homework, projects, and returning to living on the fields again. So, I will just enjoy this last day and will pretend tomorrow isn't happening.
While my family sleeps in one last time, I played along with this week's MOJO309 sketch challenge. I inked up something new from my latest MFT haul. It the new Pure Innocence Pretty Pumpkin.
I went with the out of the box technique so that this imae would work with the sketch. I pairered some PP from the Doodle Bug Designs Haunted Manor 6x6 paper pad with some PTI white CS, and some MFT black licorice and orange fizz CS. I embossed the white panel with the Chevrons 6x6 Embossalicious embossing folder by Crafter's Companion. I used the MFT fishtail flags STAX, circle STAX, and rectangle STAX Die-Namics. I heat embossed the sentiment and added a black licorice button and some baker's twine.
I decided to make her skirt a pleated skirt. Here is a close up of the coloring. I used a white gel pen to add a few freckles to her cheeks.
Here's the sketch:

School-based physical activity benefits kids
Cochrane Researchers have found that school-based physical activity have positive outcomes despite having little effect on children's weight or the amount of exercise they do outside of school.health and fitness Updated: Jan 22, 2009 14:16 IST
Cochrane Researchers have found that school-based physical activity have positive outcomes despite having little effect on children's weight or the amount of exercise they do outside of school.
They conducted a systematic review of studies on physical activity programs in schools and found that school-based programs increased the time children spent exercising and reduced the time spent watching television. Programs also reduced blood cholesterol levels and improved fitness – as measured by lung capacity.
However, programs made little impact on weight, blood pressure or leisure time activities. Exercise helps to maintain a healthy weight, yet studies show most children do not do enough exercise to give any health benefit.
The World Health Organisation has identified schools as important settings for promotion of physical activity among children. For the study, the researchers reviewed data from 26 studies of physical activity promotion programs in schools in Australia, South America, Europe and North America.
Most studies tried to encourage children to exercise by explaining the health benefits and changing the school curriculum to include more physical activity for children during school hours. Programs included teacher training, educational materials and providing access to fitness equipment.
"Given that there are at least some beneficial effects, we would recommend that schools continue their health promotion programs. These activities should also be supported by public health unit staff, and parents and teachers as positive role models," said lead researcher, Maureen Dobbins, who works at the School of Nursing at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.
