This is the perfect size TV for our living room. The picture is clear. In fact, some of the times, watching movies is like being on the other side of the camera lens filming the movie. I can finally watch television without my glasses.
Pros: Great picture! Perfect size!
Cons: Sound come out the bottom, so we are getting a sound bar to improve this. Wish the screen did not have a black frame.
Picture quality in both 3D and normal viewing is top notch. The 3D really pops out at you and I barely noticed that I was seeing 3D in 543 resolution instead of the 1080 I that the TV normally displays. Black and white movies look great to. The only issue I have is since it uses the latest technology, which I'm not used to, it took some time to figure out how to use the thing. I was able to get Netflix up and running within 10 minutes. figuring out how to get the TV to connect and show both satellite programming and the Blu ray player took about two hours with a lot of trial and error. The manual wasn't a lot of help. Next time I'll get a 8 year old to show me how. But that said, I'm more than happy with it.
Pros: Good picture quality with WOW 3D that does't strain the eye.
Cons: Unless your really up on the newest technology it may be a challenge to get everything working. Navigating around it's menu is totally different than my other 3 year old 3D TV.

Edge-Lit LED Technology: LG's edge-lit LED technology provides a slim profile and delivers amazing brightness, clarity and color detail, as well as greater energy efficiency compared to conventional LCD TVs.
Triple XD Engine: The LG LM6200 series LED-LCD TV utilizes LG's exclusive Triple XD Engine video processing system for optimum picture quality. The Triple XD Engine delivers a dynamic contrast ratio of 6,000,000:1 for stunning colors and deep blacks, so the TV's images are crisp, rich, and vibrant.
TruMotion 120Hz: TruMotion 120Hz provides clear, smoother images, even during fast action scenes crating a more crisper picture. TruMotion 120Hz technology lets you see sports, video games, and high-speed action with virtually no motion blur; letting the LED-LCD TV keep up with your fast- moving entertainment.
HDTV Tuner: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals.
1080p Video Resolution: The LG LM6200 series LED-LCD TV has a display resolution of 1920 x 1080. All of the television's video inputs are displayed at 1920 x 1080 (1080p); regardless of input signal. The LG LED-LCD HDTV features HDMI (v.1.4), Component, and Composite video inputs.
24p Real Cinema: Makes video clips recorded in a film look more natural by eliminating judder effect. DVD and Blu-ray movies are filmed at 24 frames per second (fps). With 24p Real Cinema, every frame is consistently processed 5 times in 1/24 of a second producing 120 fps with TruMotion or 2 times in 1/24 of a second producing 48 fps without TruMotion, thus totally eliminating the judder effect.
LG Cinema 3D: LG Cinema 3D offers amazing 3D depth with a brighter picture and better motion quality, plus flicker-free glasses, just like the movie theater. You get the same technology that powers the 3D films in the movie theater, right in your own home. LG Cinema 3D gives you wider viewing angles, meaning you get the same immersive 3D experience wherever you sit. The LED-LCD flat-panel TV's 3D picture begins with LG's proprietary Film-type Patterned Retarder (FPR) panel, which optimizes the separation of images for the left and right eyes. This polarized film is applied directly to the TV's screen enabling delivery of optimized images for both eyes. The images are then filtered through specially designed glasses to give you truly crisp, blur-free, flicker-free 3D images that leap of the screen. As a result, the 3D image looks 1080p and is clearer, brighter, flicker-free, and more comfortable to watch.
Note: This LG TV can display in 3D via 3D broadcasting or when the TV is connected to a 3D compatible device; such as a 3D-ready Blu-ray player with 3D content. The TV must be connected to your 3D source via HDMI (v.1.4) and you must wear the included passive 3D glasses in order to see these images in 3D (three-dimensional) format.
Picture Size (Aspect Ratio): You can select a different aspect ratio depending on input source (analog broadcasting, digital broadcasting, video input).
Picture Wizard II (Picture Control): This feature lets you adjust the picture quality of the original image. The LG LM6200 series TV's Picture Wizard II (Easy Picture Calibration) offers self-calibration with on-screen reference points for key picture quality elements such as black level, color, tint, sharpness and backlight levels. This feature takes the guesswork out of picture adjustments.
Picture Modes: The LG LED-LCD TV provides auto, preset, and manual adjustment of the television's picture settings.
Picture Improvement Technology (Advanced Control): Advanced Control allows you to adjust some of the advanced video features of the LG LED-LCD TV.
Additional Picture Options: Additional picture options include:
ARC (Audio Return Channel): The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables the TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data "upstream" to your A/V receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be sent from the television to your A/V receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI ARC input. The audio from the TV's tuner, network connection can pass as Dolby Digital or 2ch PCM. HDMI, USB, and analog connected devices will be output as 2ch PCM only.
Note: Both the television and the receiver must support ARC for this function to work properly. When connecting an A/V receiver that is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI 1 input. If connecting a system that is incompatible Audio Return Channel (ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is necessary.
AV Sync: If the video and sound of the television are not synced, you can adjust the delay of the audio output to match the video.
Sound Optimizer: This function optimizes the sound based on the environment in which the TV is installed (Normal, Wall-Mount, Stand).
Virtual Surround: Infinite 3D Surround is a patented LG proprietary sound processing technology that delivers immersive 5.1 surround sound with just two front speakers.
Sound Modes: Sound Mode lets you enjoy the best sound without any special adjustment using factory presets. Standard, Music, Cinema, Sport, and Game are preset for optimum sound quality. You can also adjust the TV's sound manually by using the 5-band EQ (100Hz, 300Hz, 1khz, 3khz, 10kHz).
Clear Voice II: Clear Voice II enhances and amplifies the frequency range of the human voice to help keep dialogue audible when background noise swells.
Auto Volume: Auto Volume makes sure that the volume level remains consistent whether you are watching a commercial or a regular TV program. Because each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions, volume adjustment may be needed every time the channel is changed. This feature allows users to enjoy stable volume levels by making automatic adjustments for each program.
Screen Off: You can turn the screen off and only sound is played through the television's speakers.
Digital Audio Output: The optical digital output terminal will output Dolby Digital (when available) or 2 channel PCM. The digital optical output terminal only sends an audio signal in Dolby Digital when receiving Dolby Digital surround sound from a digital broadcast channel through the TV tuner or LG Apps TV. The optical digital audio output will only output in 2ch stereo from sources connected to the television via HDMI, RCA, or USB.
Wired or Wireless Network Connection: This TV can be connected to your home network via its Ethernet (LAN) port or built-in WiFi. If both options are available in your network, the wired Ethernet connection is recommended. Either network connection offers access to your PC movie/photo/music files, LG Apps, and the Internet.
Note: A 10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX LAN port is required for connection to this TV. Use a standard LAN cable with this TV (Cat5 or better with a RJ45 connector). The included wireless network adapter operates at 2.4 GHz radio frequencies, which are also used by other household devices.
LG Apps TV: LG Apps TV allows you to access a variety of online services and content directly on the LG LED-LCD TV through a wired (Ethernet) or wireless (WiFi) network connection. LG Apps TV is an easy way to access limitless content, thousands of movies, customizable apps, videos, and browse the web; all organized in a simple to use interface (known as Smart TV).

I wonder is there any way we could try and get the OSI to release their data as CC-BY like their UK cousins?
Here are two links to two video talks given by Tim Berners-Lee at the TED conference. The older one, from Feb 2009 was his initial plea for governments and organizations to open up their data for public use.
The more recent one from Feb 2010 is a short update. In it he highlights the OSM Haiti map (at 3min 50sec).
Would the mandarins in the Govt & OSI be open to that argument ?

Initial video plea for open data (Feb 2009) http://www.ted.com/talks/tim_berners_le … t_web.html
I've never found OSI to be flexible or open to new ideas!
The BBC have an interesting article where they say the EU is looking at forcing Governments to release more public data for free and without strings attached.
We may get some OSi data yet !!!!

A year later I took a look to see how the EU was pushing things along.
I eventually managed to find out that the reforms described in the BBC article are officially called the revision of the PSI [Public Sector Information] Directive 2003/98/EC. Its suppose to be adopted in 2013.
These pages track the draft directive's progress. Currently it's awaiting its first reading in the EU Parliament:

Jones met his match in Turnbull
Alan Jones' old trick of berating MPs has worked well for decades. But Jones met his match when he took on Malcolm Turnbull.
Jones went too far in their fiery fight on Thursday morning's 2GB. Jones could never get on top of Turnbull, because not only is Turnbull smart, he will have the ongoing support of his colleagues unless and until he really does position himself for the top job.
The truth is that that is a long way away and most likely will never happen. Despite what conspiracy might be in Alan's mind, Turnbull has been a pretty reliable team player ever since he lost the leadership to Tony Abbott. It is true that Turnbull is his own man but he has done a very good job on the NBN and whilst he comes across as too content with the ABC, the concept of a party that includes a broad church has wide appeal in the electorate.
It's no surprise that Joe Hockey has already publicly backed Turnbull. It would not be a surprise if Abbott has spoken to Hockey, and that they have confirmed the line that Abbott used in Parliament this week that he first supports his front bench against all others.
Of course a bit of destabilisation is not new. I don't use the term as necessarily a negative. A good bit of destabilising can sometimes be just what the doctor ordered.
One of my most spectacular examples came when in 1994 I announced in a newspaper article what everyone knew to be true but what no one could say and that was that Fightback! was not dead. It hit the mark - exposing the fact its architect had walked away from his policy - and lead to the end of John Hewson's leadership.
The Bolt question to Abbott on leadership may have been deliberately aggressive but I don't think there was some conspiracy behind the question. It was just one of those questions that are asked because Bolt had nothing else with enough punch. Of course, never forget columnists are in the business of making news and I don't blame them too much for doing so.
Jones is this week's destabiliser par excellence. Radio commentators are primarily interested in ratings and Jones is top of the charts. He got Turnbull on because it was newsworthy and it was good copy so he kept it going. Turnbull was a bit cheeky in dining with Clive Palmer. I wonder who organised the camera man as they left the Wild Duck? But then again, maybe he should get a medal for having to endure the boredom of dinner with Clive.

Derby shutout doesn't dim Inge's spirits
Tigers third baseman happy to be part of Classic events
By Jason Beck / MLB.com
"Let me tell you about the pressure on that last pitch," Inge told reporters Monday afternoon. "I think I hit the farthest ball that was hit in that thing. I finally got one."
On Monday night, he found himself in the same position for the State Farm Home Run Derby. The crowd at Busch Stadium worried about him being shut out, and fans started pulling for him. His 4-year-old son, Tyler, had started worrying about three outs earlier.
After about six outs, teammate Curtis Granderson recalled, a concerned Tyler turned to him and said, "Daddy's not hitting any home runs!"
With one more chance to clear the fences, Inge again hit his best ball of the evening, but it veered foul of the left-field pole.
As he left the batter's box, though, he still had a smile on his face. No one had gone homerless in the event since then-Pirate Jason Bay in 2005. But to hear Inge afterward, he sounded like he had won. The way he approached it, he really couldn't lose.
"Some guys I talked to about it said they couldn't have fun because it was too stressful," Inge said afterward. "I loved it. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I really would. I'd ask them to do it again. ...
"I told you I was going to have fun no matter what. You're not going to bring me down."
And after a brief moment to cool off, he sat down on the grass in front of the American League dugout with sons Tyler and Chase and did what he loved to do as a kid. He watched the rest of the Derby.
"This is about as big screen a TV as you can get," Inge said. "I was excited. I was sitting there, my kids with me. It was really a good moment. I mean, obviously, it would've been a little better if I'd hit home runs."
Inge, elected by fans to the American League All-Star team in the Final Vote and promptly invited into the Derby, hit his first ball to the gap in left-center field, then another to right field early before popping out to center as teammates Justin Verlander, Edwin Jackson and Granderson watched. His line drives to left off Tigers bullpen catcher Scott Pickens didn't have enough to get into the seats.
Thus, barely 24 hours after Inge homered twice against the Indians in the Tigers' first-half finale at Comerica Park to head into the break with 21 homers, he went homerless.
If it wasn't clear going in that Inge wasn't a favored contender, it became so by the start of the news conference Monday afternoon. As one slugger after another settled into the seats -- Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder, Nelson Cruz, Adrian Gonzalez and former Tigers first baseman Carlos Pena -- Inge was the smallest of the bunch. He's listed in the Tigers media guide at 5-foot-11 and 188 pounds.
He compared it to David against Goliath. In this case, David couldn't land a shot. It probably didn't help that Cruz and Fielder, the two eventual finalists, batted just ahead of Inge in the first round and hit 11 each.
"I knew it was going to be like that all night," Inge said. "Come on, I'm the smallest guy probably ever out here. I knew they were going to be hitting balls all over the place.
"My [target] number was actually 15, I was thinking. And I almost got that."
He at least reached his goal of having fun, but that was never really in question. He was zoned in as he stood in the box, waiting for that one pitch that would actually get him on a roll.
"The very last ball, it was foul," he said, "but that's the one where I finally felt it. Good thing it was the stinking 10th out."
He was so pumped, in fact, that never really noticed they were playing music over the sound system until Pickens mentioned it to him.
"I got back to the side and I was listening," Inge said, "and I'm like, 'They've been playing music?' I didn't hear any music when I was hitting. Didn't hear a word. All I heard was, 'Two outs ... three outs ... four outs ... five outs.'"
Inge had so much fun that others got into the act. As he talked with reporters, still gushing over the experience, Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett chimed in with a joke.
"Tell them you don't know how you didn't get in the second round with those numbers," Beckett said, smiling as he shouted across the clubhouse.
Inge laughed, then fired back.
"Hey," he said, "I told them I'm saving it for you."

PHILADELPHIA -- A gene therapy study focused on finding a cure for a rare congenital blinding disease has been recognized as one of the ten most outstanding clinical research projects of the year by the Clinical Research Forum (CRF). The study, led by Jean Bennett, MD, Phd, F.M. Kirby professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and carried out in collaboration with Penn Medicine's Albert M. Maguire, MD, and Katherine A. High, MD at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), has been presented with the Distinguished Clinical Research Achievement Award, the second highest given in the CRF's Annual Top 10 Clinical Research Achievement Awards. CRF award winners are cited as the most compelling examples of scientific innovation that results from the nation's investment in clinical research that can benefit human health and welfare.
The results of the most recent phase of the study for Leber's Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) at CHOP have led to the first Phase 3 gene therapy study in the United States and the first Phase 3 gene therapy study in the world for a non-lethal disorder. The team of researchers hopes that the studies could lead to the first approved gene therapy product in the United States.
"The data from our study has already been used to develop additional clinical trials for other blinding diseases," said Bennett. "There are two things that I think are really going to be important from this work: one, that we'll move forward with this particular disease and get approval for the drug that we've been developing, and two, that this could ultimately lead to approved treatments for other currently untreatable conditions."
Published in 2012, the winning studies are the latest in a long tradition of notable health advances that have occurred through clinical research -- such as eliminating polio, reducing the mortality of AIDS, and improving cancer survival rates -- that were propelled by combined investment in basic science and clinical research.
"These patients, once rendered blind by LCA, have had their lives transformed and their vision restored by this team's efforts to further gene therapy research," said Joan O'Brien, MD, chair of the department of Ophthalmology at the Scheie Eye Institute at Penn Medicine. "The groundbreaking work sets the stage for the treatment of numerous other blinding conditions, but is also a shining example of what scientists with NIH resources can accomplish for the betterment of humanity."
The Clinical Research Forum is an organization comprised of the nation's most prestigious and acclaimed academic medical centers and healthcare systems whose goal is to sustain and expand a cadre of talented, well-trained clinical investigators at all stage of career development, and support nurturing environments and comprehensive research capabilities within academic institutions. Its mission is to provide leadership to the national clinical and translational research enterprise and promote understanding and support for clinical research and its impact on health.
Penn Medicine is one of the world's leading academic medical centers, dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care. Penn Medicine consists of the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (founded in 1765 as the nation's first medical school) and the University of Pennsylvania Health System, which together form a $4.3 billion enterprise.
The Perelman School of Medicine has been ranked among the top five medical schools in the United States for the past 16 years, according to U.S. News & World Report's survey of research-oriented medical schools. The School is consistently among the nation's top recipients of funding from the National Institutes of Health, with $398 million awarded in the 2012 fiscal year.
The University of Pennsylvania Health System's patient care facilities include: The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania -- recognized as one of the nation's top "Honor Roll" hospitals by U.S. News & World Report; Penn Presbyterian Medical Center; and Pennsylvania Hospital -- the nation's first hospital, founded in 1751. Penn Medicine also includes additional patient care facilities and services throughout the Philadelphia region.
Penn Medicine is committed to improving lives and health through a variety of community-based programs and activities. In fiscal year 2012, Penn Medicine provided $827 million to benefit our community.

Sargents Traverse
|[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
February 15th, 2010 - In order to bypass the gendarmes on the ridge, we traversed onto the east side of the ridge before eventually cutting back over to the west side. These slopes were steeper than expected, but perfect snow made for fast and solid climbing. It stays steep throughout, which makes for a very long traverse.
Guy is entering the traverse on 50 degree slopes that stayed steep for a long ways down. Thrilling!
For convenience, I'm calling this stretch the "Sargents Traverse".

"I'm actually producing my first film this year called 'Girlfriend,'" he says. "New director Justin Lerner kind of made a splash at a couple festivals last year with a short film he did."
Jackson is set to produce the movie along with one of his bandmates from their rock group, 100 Monkeys. A UCLA film school grad, Lerner's most recent short film, "The Replacement Child," screened at places like the Telluride Film Festival, the Los Angeles Film Festival and the Windrider Forum during Sundance.
While the 24-year-old didn't kick us any details about the film's plot or potential cast, he did talk enthusiastically about the chance both to produce and act in "Girlfriend." "It's an exciting time," he said. "I get to play a part in it and have a little bit more say behind the scenes, behind the camera, which is really interesting. It's what I've always really wanted to get into. I love film. I love the art behind it."
How fun. Read the rest here.
Thanks, MyTwiLife!

Sarah Palin Is Going to Find Herself to India
"I'm not one of those... kids who perhaps graduated college and their parents get them a passport and a backpack and say, 'Go off and travel the world,'" Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin told CBS News anchor Katie Couric in 2008. But that was then! This is now: Sarah Palin is going to India in March. Someone get her a passport and a backpack!
Palin will be giving a speech called "My Vision of America" at conference sponsored by Indian magazine Today. (Other speakers include Germaine Greer and Mohamed ElBaradei.) And then she'll go backpacking across the subcontinent, studying at ashrams and learning all about the crazy journey called life! We hope. And then she'll write her own white album! Maybe.


text: Hi everyone! As promised, here are the photos of the much anticipated meet of 5 TW members all residing in South Florida. oscar 2424, javiererrgio, dr punk, no skills, and myself. We all met up Sunday (4/22/07) at 10 AM at the Old Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach. There are arond 12 clay courts, and 7 hard courts. Unfortunately, on Sundays they have round robin tournaments, so all the courts were taken as of 11:30 AM. The five of us were able to hit for about an hour, which included playing a few tie break in a doubles format (four would play, while one sat out), but we were unable to play singles against one another. However, everyone hads lots of fun. After playing the tiebreaks, being that the day was so beautiful and we were all still in the mood to keep playing >>> we all decided to play in the round robin tourney. The format for the round robin consisted of playing a total 5 games against every player in your group. The player with the best overall cummulative score wins the tourney. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to play any of the guys from TW in the round robin because they played in the intermediate group, and I played in the beginner group. Of course, during the tourney we kept running into each other and rooted each other on. Special congrats to javiersergio! He did all the guys at TW proud by coming in second place, and came within one game of obtaining first place. All-in-all, it was a great day of tennis for everyone, and we all had a great time getting the opportunity to meet one another. Over the course of the next few days I wil be posting photos. So I will begin this thread by posting pics to show you snowbirds what the weather is like here in beautiful South Florida.

Lynne Graham eBooks
My first book was published in 1987. Today I am the bestselling Mills and Boon Presents author with sales of twenty six million books worldwide.
I'm Irish. I'm a Leo born July 30. I learnt to read at the age of 3, haven't stopped since then. I hated school, enjoyed university. I first met my husband when I was 14 but we had a rocky path to the altar. I wrote my first romance at 15 but couldn't find a buyer! I have five children, one natural, four adopted from Sri Lanka and Guatemala. I live in the country and have five acres of wild woodland garden.
My favourite colour is green. I'm addicted to kids, books, chocolate, baths in candlelight, log fires and four poster beds. I love exploring historic houses, castles and beautiful gardens. I collect everything from rare trees to rock specimens and old toys. I'm interested in international adoption and post-adoption/ multi-cultural issues.
I am crazy about Christmas. I love being a writer when the book is going well, hate it like poison when it's not. I read a newspaper every day. I listen to dance music in the car. I don't like romantic movies with unhappy endings.
Where do I get my ideas? An active imagination and my own life experience. I have to confess that I'm still waiting on a billionaire to whisk me away on his private jet but that doesn't stop me dreaming! I had an imaginary friend as a child and adored fairy tales. I also have a keen interest in what makes people tick and believe that the good and bad times of even the most ordinary life give a writer the fuel to portray realistic emotions.

Post Office could reopen in north Suffolk village before Easter
PUBLISHED: 09:36 18 November 2012 | UPDATED: 16:55 20 November 2012
A north Suffolk village store is hoping to have a Post Office up and running again in the village before Easter after agreeing to take over the running of the facility.
The Spar store in Church Street is set to open a Post Office counter in a corner of the shop, so long as planning permission can be obtained, after the previous facility in Queen Street closed in July.
The sub-postmaster David Johnson closed after 12 years at the helm because of personal reasons after he had tried to sell the business, without any success.
However, a petition was started among villagers to get the Post Office reinstated and the campaign received support from Dr Dan Poulter, MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich.
Nicky Cox, a sales assistant at Spar, said: "I think it will be a success because there are so many elderly people living around here who use the Post Office. They need it, it is an important service to them."
She also hoped the facility would help bring more customers into the shop, which has experienced difficult trading conditions during the last six months because of the economic downturn.
She added: "We have had a really tough year, but it is better now than what it was about four months ago. The previous Post Office was so busy and a lot of people were moaning that they needed a facility."
Although villages surrounding Stradbroke, such as Hoxne, Horham and Laxfield, all have Post Offices, the village parish council was concerned not every Stradbroke resident owned a car.


text: The course R403, Russian Phonetics, has a triple aim. First, it familiarizes the student with the phonological structure of modern Russian. Second, it prepares the student to teach Russian pronunciation to others. And third, it enables the student scientifically to improve his own pronunciation--if such improvement is needed. The course begins with a rapid reading of C. Buchanan, A Programed Introduction to Linguistics, Heath, 1963, to present to the student basic linguistic concepts and terminology used in the course. Then begin regular reading assignments in P.I. Avanesov, Russkoe literaturnoe proiznoshenie, (Moscow: 1984), which is read in its entirety. E.A. Bryzgunova, Zvuki i intonacii russkoj rechi (Moscow: 1977), and Wm. S. Hamilton, Introduction to Russian Phonology and Word Structure, Slavica Publishers, 1980, are also used in the course. Class time is first devoted to a series of lectures by the instructor on the Russian phonological system, including intonation. When these are completed, extensive perception exercises are done in class to increase students' acuity in discerning and identifying pronunciation errors, both phonetic and intonational. All students (except native speakers of Russian) are required to record a text in Russian at the beginning of the course, which is analyzed in detail by the instructor. Students re-record the same text at the end of the course, enabling the instructor to evaluate improvement in their pronunciation. Students are also required to do two detailed analyses of American students reading a text in Russian, identifying and categorizing their errors. Students are further expected to attain proficiency in the use of phonetic transcription. Classroom exercises are employed toward that end. A midterm examination and a final examination are given, each consisting of both written and oral parts. The midterm is more practical in emphasis (discernment of errors, identification of intonational types, use of transcription), while the final adds theoretical questions. There are no pop" quizzes. Test scores will count for 75% of the final grade. Class participation and attendance will count for the remaining 25%.

Tim goes on a long slumber and returns with front page articles?? What the heck did i miss here??
Tim goes on a long slumber and returns with front page articles?? What the heck did i miss here??
Not sure but he seems prolific. Couldn't disagree with him more if I tried on the first one he wrote a week or so ago but this last one is a solid if not lengthy piece. I don't mind reading the the longer ones if they are well done.
Tim is an awful person to have a conversation on the board with, since he NEVER relents on any of his points... EVER.. turning it more into him preaching at you
it's kinda like when you're a kid, and you have a curfew time... but your bus home broke down, so you end up being late... and your dad gives you shit.. and no matter how valid your reason is, it goes in one ear and out the other because he's in a shit giving zone
but, Tim is extremely knowledgable and well written... i do appreciate his viewpoints on things even if i dont always agree, and sometimes he can get long winded..
good for him though.. i wish him success in his new role
Does this mean that if we want an article posted on the front page, just write it up and send it to the mods?
Anyone else read the comment sections from some of his articles?
It's pretty hilarious how many people take issue with, and are almost offended by, his very strong (arrogant?) way of expressing opinions.
And while I absolutely respect his conviction, I really can't stand the way he tries to belittle anyone else who tries to disagree with him.
He really hasn't changed a bit.
But Good for him for expanding the readership for his "the Picket Fence" blog.
He gets conversations going, and generally brings together the entire readership against him. Lol
I think I was a bit of a big doucher back than, too. But, that guy used to piss me off.haha. It was kind of fun..
If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?
Sometimes, I like to buy a book on CD and listen to it, while reading music.
Sorry about the delay in replying to this.
First up, we were looking for some writers to write during the slower part of the season, and Tim W. was a good candidate. You might disagree with him, and his style of arguing isn't always friendly, but the guy is knowledgeable (albeit stubborn to the point of annoying). He's done well writing his pieces (and I'm sure he'll improve on the podcasts).
If you want an article published on RR, you are free to send it to Blake or myself - firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com, and we'll definitely review it and give you feedback. We have an account called "Prospect" (think Sons of Anarchy) on the main site which is exactly for this. No guarantees, but it's a good start.
Again, sorry about the delay.

|Did the Watzmann when I was six and seven years old with my father when he was stationed in Germany. Great time! First time I had been exposed to hiking / scrambling. We first did just the Hocheck from the Watzmannhaus and returned the next summer and did the traverse. We came up Wimbachgries and stayed at the Wimbachgrieshutt prior to coming up and over the Sudspitze, Mittelspitze, and then the Watzmann. It was funny cause the hut keeper would not tell my father where the trailhead was cause he was afraid of him taking a "kinder" up the Sudspitze. I am currently in Germany and plan on going back to the Watzmann this summer, possibly with my father and doing the traverse again.

|Route Climbed: Normal route from Berchtesgaden Date Climbed: August, 1998
|We found this a good idea:
Sleeping on a Hammerstiel parking place (750 m), cycling (and also walking) up by the steep road to Kuehrointalm (1409 m), then hiking to Watzmannhaus and further to Hocheck (2651 m) and climbing the ridge to Mittelspitze (2713 m). Of course we descended the same route and made the tour in one extraordinary day. In the evening we were already drinking coffee in Salzburg.
Watzmann is a great mountain!

|Route Climbed: Normal Route Date Climbed: 7. September 2002
|At best weather we went to the Mittelspitze via the Hocheck. Great mountain - to much people - to much iron.
|Posted Sep 9, 2002 7:45 am
|Route Climbed: ridge-traverse Date Climbed: 21 July 2002
|Best weather. We left Watzmann hut at a quarter past seven. Because of our very big knapsacks we made several stops, tempo was slow. Towards ten o' clock at Hocheck, where breast and waist harness were fetched out. Gusty wind ceased. Using all the wire ropes and cables for belaying, middle-peak was reached at late morning. For the season great distant views to the central alps. Further on to the south peak, that was reached at 2 p.m. Only two other people at the summit, the masses of mountaineers begun the descent before. Because of looming cumulus clouds we did not rest long and left the summit soon. Each time I descend south peak via Schönfeld to Wimbachgries, I wonder why the tour is worth this oppression. And each time my answer is: It is! When we arrived the down-hill leading gritty ditches a thunderstorm came up and it began to rain. Three quarters of an hour later we arrived the hut of Wimbachgries completely drenched. Thanks to Uwe, the new hut keeper, for friendly accommodation and best attendance.
One incident should not fail to be mentioned: One day later two completely exhausted fellows arrived Wimbachgries hut at eleven o' clock p.m. in pitch-dark night after traversing Watzmann from Watzmann hut in eighteen hours!

|Route Climbed: Kleiner Watzmann Traverse Date Climbed: 20 July 2002
|We left Kühroint hut at half past seven for traverse of Kleiner Watzmann. Unnecessary equipment was left at the hut. At the "Gendarm", crux of north-east-ridge, belaying our two newcomers Thomas and Heinz with rope and harness was necessary. We arrived at the summit, 2307 m, towards 11 o' clock. Very cloudy on top, but windows of good sight opened to all directions. The main ridge of Great Watzmann remained hidden all day. Descending towards Mooslahnerkopf at the end of the east ridge was lots of fun. Great views from the ridge and Mooslahner over Lake Königssee. At all the way down to the Mooslahner makes higher demands on sense of direction than the ascent across the Gendarm. Back at the hut on early afternoon. Some mugs of beer made the following 500m ascent to the Watzmannhaus, where we spent the second night, a torture.

|Route Climbed: East Face 'Berchtesgadener Weg' Date Climbed: Summer 1991 and 1992
|Impressive route as you are viewing it from St. Bartholomae: you don't believe istis just a UIAA grade III-IV. But as soon as you are into it (and are good at route finding ) pitch after pitch solves easily. Often it is more hiking than climbing. I solo'ed 1991(easily) and returned with my brother the other year. We had troubles then since using the rope slowed us down as well as the upper 500 meters had ice and snow. The most difficult pitches I remember are some 400m above ground and then just 50m below south summit. The route is not difficult but may not be underestimated. It is a long 1800m climb and then you still have to descend some 3 hours to the next hut (Watzmannhaus). Weather conditions need to be stable. You do not see bad weather approaching since you are in an east face but storm comes in from west. Of the various routes at the east face this route seems to be the easiest but also the most worthwhile. I can recommend it.

|The Kederbacher Route is not the easiest way through the E-Face and also not the most beautiful one. The easier and probably more beautiful one is the Berchtesgadener way.

Hey, everyone, I'm a beginner to all types of programming, so I figured I'd place my first original (i.e. completely solved by me) up for comments and criticisms. I'm mainly looking on how to make it more streamlined, as I decided I might as well learn to make efficient code as I'm learning the language. Anyway, the following is a simple calculator program. Also, and I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, but is there a command in c++ that is similar to the ClrHome command in Visual Basic. I haven't been able to find it in any of the books I'm using. Thanks.

When photojournalist Kelly Sheffield is offered the chance to travel to Greenland for coverage of American science teams, she grabs it. Not only is it a dream assignment, it also means she'll have a chance to reconnect with the compelling Jordan Westgate, the glaciologist studying the melting ice cap.
Jordan hasn't forgotten Kelly, nor has she forgotten that she'd found it hard, all those years ago, to firmly reject the inappropriate overtures from a student. This Kelly, self-assured, successful, and even more attractive, is a threat to Jordan's equilibrium, something she simply can't allow.
Kelly finds the frozen landscape a match for Jordan's chilly attitude. But Greenland is a surprising land of beauty and danger where even the iciest heart can melt.

"Well thought-out and interlaced"
A pleasant and captivating story. I was not sure about this audio book when I first saw the title and publisher summary, wondering how a a novel set in Greenland and ice would be interesting. I was glad I purchased the audio book and listened. The narrator Cassadra Lukas was very good bring the different characters in the novel to life, and adding effective emotional tone to the the narrative. The story itself provides three overlapping threads to engage the reader, one on the descriptions of Greenland and the people that life there. The second the history and genetic links to the past, with a story of survival from the 1400s. Finally the romantic connection between photographer Kelly Sheffield and glaciologist Jordan Westgate. The romance side of the story is slow burning and does not dominate the novel, but it is shared with the other threads. There are a number of well thought out interlacing between past and present, and intelligent observations about fear, love, and passion. I recommend the novel.
"Quite good actually "
Although a little predictable, not enough to stop the storyline from being quite good, Interesting because of its setting and knowledgeable account of Arctic research
Highly recommended
"Fascinating fictional look at a contemporary topic"
A unique fictional view of global climate change. The setting is Greenland, which in and of itself is unique. There is information on Greenland's melting glaciers and a good back story pertaining to Greenland's history. It rescues a rather tepid and typical lesbian romance novel that bogs down too often in cliches. That was the reason I couldn't give this work five stars. I found both the setting as well as the subject manner intriguing. Jordan's history gives some explanation of her unwillingness to pursue the relationship. A good listen.
"Romantic adventure"
Suspense, romance, heroes, adventure and even some real history. what's not to love. Quirky second story line. Lovely narrating.

Discussion in 'Science Fiction & Fantasy' started by nx1701g, Dec 7, 2008.
Found this on Yahoo:
So do you think that "The Dark Knight" has a shot?
I voted yes, but don't think it will
I voted no, because I don't think it will.
Does it have a chance?
I hope everyone votes about COULD it, and not WILL it. This is a "could" question. Anything is possible.
Is this year the best chance any film like TDK will ever have? Period? Yes.
The Oscar telecast has been in continued decline in viewership for years and years. The result of so many "unknown" films being nominated and winning. Obscure films that people cannot connect with. The result is that the Academy has stated it plans to consider more note worthy films this year as a result. It's not to say such a film will win. So much as that they're not going to just dismiss such films so easily.
I'd be thrilled if TDK won Best Picture, Nolan best director, and most important - the must have - Ledger best supporting. If Ledger doesn't win, it's a criminal act of ignorant stupidity. His performance was one of the best of all time, of any film. He truly made the character live. You don't see Heath Ledger in that film one bit. He is the Joker. His life or death is irrelevant. It was the performance of a lifetime, and if he where alive I think the buzz would be 10 times as great because he'd be around to discuss it and feed the frenzy.
If Ledger does not win, I will never again watch the Oscars for the rest of my life. And I'm a big movie buff. When the nominations come out, almost every film nominated goes on my NetFlix queue, so I can see the so-called "best" of the best.
I meant it could....but don't think it will
To be nominated? yes. to win? no.
Well, this is a conundrum for me.
If The Dark Knight gets nominated for Best Picture, I am forced to sell my testicles. That's just if it gets nominated. So while The Dark Knight is my favorite film of all time, and my favorite film of 2008, I kind of like my testicles.
So it'd be a really bittersweet victory even if it got nominated. Because like I said, I really like my testicles.
It depends; what's the competition going to be like this year?
There have been many high-quality, 'testicle-selling-quality' movies nominated for Academy Awards that have lost because they happened to be running against a powerhouse film that same year.
The whole concept of voting for only one Best Picture each year is in itself flawed, especially when some years there are really no movies worthy of the title, and other years there may be 2 or more.
I really like your testicles, too.
In time, when all the hysteria over TDK has died down, I hope Heath Ledger's performance in Brokeback Mountain will be hailed as his best. There is so much for an actor to do with a character like the Joker, so much opportunity to pull all the acting stops out. His performance as Ennis Del Mar was breathtaking and heartbreaking and it was all so subtle.
TDK was a good movie but not the year's best in my opinion. It'll probably get nominated, as will Ledger, who will probably win Best Supporting Actor but I can't see the Academy going for a comic book movie as Best Film. Then again, they did give 11 Oscars to Titanic so what do I know!
Gambling is a disease, and now I fear for future generations of JacksonArchers.
Christopher Nolan deserves much more than an Scream Award for The Dark Knight. WB will mount an Oscar campaign in the trades for Nolan and Ledger. But knowing the Academy's snobbery, I wouldn't want to get my hopes up.
So do I.
I would absolutely love for Christopher Nolan to nab the Best Director Oscar. I might weep precious little man tears.
But something tells me it might go to David Fincher for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and something tells me that film might sweep the Oscars this year and unsurp Nolan's victory.
Imagine this: What if Darren Aronsofky gets nominated for The Wrestler (as well as a Best Picture nomination) and Fincher and Nolan get nominated? Three of my favorite directors of all time...what forever will I do?
My nuts might just explode.
If Fincher won a Best Directing Oscar, my nuts would explode.
I haven't seen The Curious Case of Benjamin Button yet, it's my Christmas Theater Experience (TM) this year, but I'll assume it's great...since pretty much everything Fincher has ever done is great.
And while I won't say he deserves it more than anyone else for individual films, 'cause like I said, I haven't seen his contender this year, in the pantheon of "career Oscars," he deserves it far more than Nolan or pretty much anyone else does at this point...except maybe Mann or DePalma.
I dunno. I mean Fincher has Se7en and Fight Club, two of the greatest films ever in my opinion, but Christopher Nolan has Memento, Insomnia, The Prestige, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight...five of my favorite films of all time, so I'm a bit biased.
I definitely think Fincher is more than deserving for a Best Director Oscar (I'll also agree Michael Mann is overdo, much like Martin Scorsese was) but I'm a huge fan of Nolan so naturally I'm going to lean in his direction (ha, no pun intended).
I forgot to mention Zodiac! What a truly terrific film. Roger Ebert calls it his best, but I'm still stuck between choosing Se7en and Fight Club on most days (with a slight edge going to Se7en most of the time).
Brian De Palma is a fine director who needs a comeback film.
Yes he does. I still love The Untouchables. Wasn't he set to make a prequel or a sequel at one point?
Of course it could win an Oscar for Best Picture. It made potloads of money, it's politically correct (crazy terrorist for villain and ruthless martyr for hero,) and the Academy is infamous for lapses in taste and common sense.
And given the popularity of the wacky auteur theory, Nolan is thereby a possible.
And Ledger would even be a plausible choice for Best Supporting Actor, except he's actually the star of the movie. But such piddling details never bothered the Academy before.
That's awfully kind of you.
Again with the kindness.
I think he has, what...? 30-45 minutes of screentime? If that. That makes him a supporting character. Much like Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs. Like Tony, he just stole the show.
Se7en, The Game, Fight Club, Panic Room, Zodiac. All great films. Even Alien 3, if you look past the studio interference, you can see Fincher's brilliance. Then on top of that, he's done some of the best commercials and music videos of all time. "The Smoking Fetus" commercial for the American Cancer Society was brilliant.
I have to say, though it is tough, Se7en is his best film.
I think of Hopkins as the male lead of Silence of the Lambs. It certainly wasn't Anthony Head or even Scott Glenn. As for Ledger in Dark Knight (note to self, Dark Knight, not Dark Knight Returns,) for how many of those minutes is he the center of the scene? Especially scenes without the official star? The number of minutes is a good starting point but Ledger was in a starring role, just as Hopkins was in Silence. Or Michael Keaton in Beetlejuice, even though he had maybe nineteen minutes on screen time. Does anybody else even remember Alec Baldwin was in Beetlejuice?
Much of the publicity campaign pushing for Dark Knight explicitly mentions the huge amount of money the movie made. That is a new low, even for Hollywood, in esthetic criteria.
PS Almost forgot---if you mean, who is the star? Obviously you're right that it's Bale. If you don't admit the possibility of multiple leads, no matter how uncommon, then the question admits of no debate. But this merely seems unduly official, misleading conventional wisdom, to me.
Separate names with a comma.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Several lane closures on the Grapevine pass is expected to create traffic delays on the main highway between Southern and Central California this week.
The state Department of Transportation began repaving Interstate 5 north of Los Angeles Sunday evening by closing all but one northbound and southbound lane at the Kern County line.
Officials said lane closures will go on the rest of the week. No more than three lanes will be opened during the brief afternoon window when construction stops.
Heavy snowfall and wildfires typically force lane closures on the Grapevine. A deadly collision in the truck lane tunnel closed the busy highway for two days in 2007 and cost $17 million to clean up and repair.

The Maricopa Harvester Ant
Maricopa harvester ants are frequently found in most of Arizona, including the city of Mesa. The ant is famous for having the most toxic venom of all insects. Maricopa harvester ants come in a variety of colors from bright red to dark brown. They measure in size from one centimeter to three centimeters, depending on their age. They have two pairs of wings, but will not carry them for the entirety of their lives. Both the male and female ants will shed their wings after they mate, and the males will then die.
Nests of Maricopa Harvester Ants
Maricopa harvester ants erect enormous nests that can reach widths of almost 30 feet, and heights of six feet. These massive nests are only common if mother nature does not wipe them out, or if the nest is not taken over by other species of ants. Their nest mounds usually made of rocks and gravel. The ants create cemented caps, made of calcium carbonate, on top of their mound nests. This protects the nest from being eroded away by high winds or rainy weather.
Maricopa Harvester Ant Nutrition
Like all other harvester ants, the Maricopa harvester ants forage for their food. The leave the nest to gather seeds, dead insects, and any other food it can find. They then bring the food back to their nest to divide up among the colony. Maricopa harvester ants will forage up to 33 feet away from the nest in order to make sure that they bring back enough food for the entire colony. The ant plays a major role in decomposition by dragging dead carcasses of insects underground, thus enriching soil for plants and crops.
Maricopa Harvester Ants on Attack
One characteristic that distinguishes the Maricopa harvester ant from other species of ant is that they have a stinger that is comparable to that of a honeybee. They use their stingers as a protection against anything they might believe will cause them harm. The ant will attach itself to its victim by clinging on to them with their mandibles. Once attached, it will arrange itself so its stinger is facing towards the victim. The ant will then sting as many times as it can before it is removed or killed. When the first ant stings it's victim it will release pheromones that signal other members of the colony to come and attack as well. This swarming tendency makes the ant very dangerous.
Maricopa Harvester Ant Venom
Maricopa harvester ants contain the most toxic venom of all insects. Their venom is a combination of amino acids, peptides, and proteins. The venom from the Maricopa harvester ant is twelve times more powerful than that of a honeybee. A four and a half pound rat could be killed by as few as twelve stings, and a 150 lb human could be killed by about 350 stings. To get the same mortality rate from a bee, a human would have to be stung well over 10,000 times, without an allergic reaction taking place. While this may seem like a high number of stings it is very low compared to the amount of stings from other insects.
Mesa Ant Control
As Mesa residents, we are usually more worried about keeping the deadly scorpions off our property and out of our homes. The venom of the Maricopa harvester ants can be just as deadly as a scorpion's and they need to be professionally eliminated. If you are seeing ants of any kind on your property, even if it's not the venomous Maricopa harvester ant, contact a Mesa pest control professional today. They'll help to eradicate the ants before they find you or your family.

With Mt Pocono it was my first times in the mountains that after we moved west led to a lifetime love of the peaks. I remember the hike and lots of trees on top. I think I got a little tired being I had yet to build up my mountain legs. I remember the creek in the forest and it being a very lush and green forest. I am really reaching to sign this climbers log, I am trying to find every peak I have done that is on Summitpost, I am going to have to make more pages to up my peak count on this site, I was hoping to at least get to 100.

Ok. Here's the strange story. I've got a Duron 1.0 ghz running on a PCChips 810LMR with 256 mbs of PC133 SDRAM. The computer, when being used in an everyday manner (browsing the web, for an example) will lock up completely and without warning. The strange thing is that I can run SANDRA's burnin wizard for hours at a time without a hint of instability. Any ideas what could be causing this? I know that the HDD is good, and SANDRA tests the CPU, Memory and HDD.

Sumitomo said the base order is for eight cars, at a contract price of $21 million, scheduled for delivery in 2014. The contract includes an option for VRE to purchase up to an additional 42 cars. If the option is exercised, the total contract would amount to $119 million, Sumitomo said.
VRE will use the cars both to replace some of its older rolling stock and to increase capacity on its lines.
VRE selected gallery cars in part to allow ticket collectors to check tickets on both levels from the bottom level.
Nippon Sharyo will manufacture the new cars at its passenger railcar production facility in Rochelle, Ill., which it opened in 2010.

As his family claims his innocence, the evidence against the teen charged as the South Florida cat butcher is mounting, with a new report exposing the meat of the case against him.
According to the report, not only did police find knives hidden in 18-year-old Tyler Weinman's room, they reportedly saw scratch marks throughout his body, on his hands, arms, neck and chest - consistent with struggling with a cat or cats.
Police also put a tracking device on Weinman's car that places him near the scene of the killings, according to the report. Weinman had been under surveillance by police for weeks before he was finally arrested early Sunday morning.
Weinman is charged with 19 counts of animal cruelty, 19 counts of improperly disposing of an animal body and four counts of burglary in the spree of cat mutilations and killings throughout Cutler Bay and Palmetto Bay. He was released yesterday on $249,500 bond after a judge examined a psychiatric evaluation and ruled that Weinman was competent to proceed.
Weinman's lawyer and father have both proclaimed his innocence, saying that all the evidence thus far has been circumstantial. And the police never actually caught Weinman in the act of killing a cat.
"I'm confident my son is innocent," the elder Weinman said outside court yesterday.
Police are still examining what sorts of forensic tests can be performed on the cats, but said it will be difficult as performing such test is unusual.

Fun fact: the brand's name was inspired by an interview in the early 1950's when the founder's grandfather, prominent Swedish artist Sven 'x' Erixon, was asked why his favorite color was red. With contemporary designs inspired by music and art, you can bet their beautifully tailored pieces will fit like a dream.Shop Whyred

The gift of subversion | Blog 5 of the 12 blogs of Christmas
I have a friend who likes Thursdays more than Fridays. He also is a bigger fan of Christmas Eve than he is Christmas Day. Kinda weird, right? But his reasoning is that the anticipation of good things is usually better than the realization of that goodness. But it actually makes strange sense when you think about it.
I remember more than one birthday or Christmas morning when I'd get this lingering sense of depression when I realized that all of the excitement of waiting was over. While my cousins and friends tended to be package rippers, I drew it out as long as possible, hoping in a way that the good feelings would go on indefinitely.
In a recent article I wrote about the idea that the "have" in most cases doesn't end up being as good as the "want." Like the dad in the movie, "A Christmas Story," we can imagine pretty much anything is possible while the box is still unopened. Never mind that the package is the size of a piece of carry-on luggage; there could be a bowling alley in there!
Such was the case for many anticipating what became the first Christmas. Prophets, Rabbis and the like had been heralding a great champion in the Messiah who would sweep in and crush the mighty Roman occupiers, placing the Jewish people in their rightful place as the victors.
After all, they had waited for centuries for a promise to be fulfilled. They had undergone much suffering, all the while holding steadfast to their faith. In many ways it was the very promise that carried them through so much hardship.
What a letdown to find out that the anointed child of God was a simple, vulnerable peasant, rather than a gilded warrior, intent on human notions of justice.
But isn't that the way of the Christian faith? We can hardly get through a page of the Gospel of Luke in particular without coming across another case of the tables of expectation being turned on end.
Pharisees ask Jesus what the greatest commandment is and he leaves their heads spinning. We pray for a warrior savior, yet our salvation comes in a most unexpected package. The Roman Empire set out to eradicate the troublesome Christian movement once and for all by removing its head; what they got was something entirely different.
Our faith is one of remarkable subversion; thank God for that. After all, if the system itself - if our very lives - were set right on their own we would have had no need for the radical reorientation that began with Christ's birth.
And so we wait. We conspire with the subversive spirit of God who slipped in beneath the view of power to infuse the world with new vision. We hold in tension the "already" and the "not yet" paradox of God's love, fully realized, but to which we continue to awaken from the slumber of human expectation.
For me, this awakening into an unexpected reality is the true meaning of Christmas.
