The make-or-break aspect of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's eponymous debut - its Marmite factor, so to speak - was front-man Alex Ounsworth's vocal style, which drew comparisons to Rufus Wainwright and a drunken David Byrne. On this follow-up it's moderated somewhat, his hoarse inflections now sounding more like Thom Yorke, a comparison that fits the Radiohead-esque sonic bricolage and air of numbed anxiety in tracks such as "Safe and Sound" and "Emily Jean Stock". The latter in particular presents an aesthetic of sonic collision, rendered agreeable by the subtle touch of producer Dave Fridmann. Elsewhere, the methodical guitar lines of "Goodbye To Mother and The Cove" recall Tubular Bells, while "Upon Encountering the Crippled Elephant" offers a brief transformation of what sounds like "Que Sera Sera" into a louche accordion waltz. Best of all, "Satan Said Dance" features manic piano discords and a berserk electric organ solo over an urgent disco groove.

UncleSam February 11, 2012 4:16 PM I, for one, hope that they can progress into the midfield. It would be good for the sport to have a newer team actually make progress. They are at least making an effort to improve by bringing in better personnel and partnering with bigger teams to develop the car. The other new teams are complete rubbish and are only putting forth a minimal effort, hardly worthy of even participating at this level. I think all the negative posts would be better served on a HRT or Marussia/Virgin thread, but they didn't even have cars to test now did they? Reply Report abuse 15 agree 1 disagree
SPF1 - Unregistered February 11, 2012 4:48 PM Hilarious how all these "experts" are second-guessing testing times and coming up with so much rubbish about Gascoyne - I agree that this year is probably a make-or-break for him, but let's wait and see how the car performs when the serious stuff starts. Remember who was posting fastest times last year? Willams - and look at their race performance. Fast times in testing mean nothing, and, in fact, can give other teams an insight into a car's true performance. 10 agree 1 disagree

Can't wait =D
So do I understand correctly that the ranged slot is gone on the character sheet? And if so, does that mean you have to make a choice between, for example, a wand and a dagger or a bow and a polearm?
As an earlier commenter asked, I hope that Hunters get some expertise on their already equipped gear so we aren't screwed prior to raiding in Mists
Basically, though no hunter worth their salt will wear a melee weapon instead of their ranged weapon (unless they're just struttin' around Orgrimmar or RPing), and the wand example is interesting, because all wands are now main hand weapons with an appropriate stat boost so they're on par with other caster weapons. You can even still pew pew with them by auto-attacking!
"The ranged/relic/thrown item slot has been removed. All weapons should now be equipped in the weapon slot, and ranged weapons, including wands, have been adjusted to be more powerful."
Ok.. I get it for bows/guns, and relics/totems/tomes are gone, but wands are not AND they should be equipped in the main hand? Are they now powerful enough (stat wise) to replace staves/maces/spellblades ?
So, is RP the only reason any hunter would ever consider equipping a melee weapon? I mean, I guess I can see the charm in it, but why even bother? Why not just make it so that hunters can only use ranged weapons (and no melee at all), especially if they're removing (as far as I know) Raptor Strike and Wing Clip?
Thank you zomgname for the signature and avatar!
Honestly, it's so pathetic how Blizzard is trying to get people's attention away from tomorrow's GW2 launch by posting a recap of changes even though the patch is not tomorrow (as opposed to their usual practic of posting it the night before the patch). They're so desperate, it's not even funny.
great expertise. My hunter is in DS gear and pretty much nothing she is wearing has any expertise on it, and I already reforged some of it for hit.. thats just great.
It's almost as if GW2 was a competing service that would directly affect Blizzards bottom line! How dare they attempt to retain subs from what's obviously going to be a big contender in their marketplace! It's called good business sense. It's why Torchlight 2 pushed back its release date when they found out Diablo 3 was going to release on the same day.
And what about LFR? Will the new looting system apply to DS or start with MoP raids?
The BattleTag system is a little late out for what it's supposed to do :P Already shared my RealID with all kinds of strangers

ConferenceBike Tours The ConferenceBike, or "CoBi," is both a mode of transportation and a conversation piece: As you ride around on a seven-person, pedal-powered vehicle that looks like a group-therapy session on wheels, you'll enjoy the sights and become a sightseeing object yourself. (If you cringe at having strangers point their cameras at you, stick with a walking tour or the Gray Line bus.)On a recent trip to Germany, I tried ConferenceBike tours in two cities: Dresden and Munich. Both experiences were fun--even for someone who normally prefers walking to bicycling--and it was easy to see how why ConferenceBikes are popular for sightseeing tours, bachelor and birthday parties, and even corporate team-building exercises. How the ConferenceBike worksVelo.Saliko, the German manufacturer of the ConferenceBike, describes the tour experience as "seven people sitting in a circle around a table and riding a bike." The vehicle (which costs as much as a small car) has a welded steel frame, four automotive-style wheels, and seven comfortable bicycle seats arranged around a circular handlebar. The driver sits in the back, facing forward and operating the steering wheel and brake lever, while the six passengers (who face the center from different directions) have nothing to worry about except pedaling. The ConferenceBike has only one gear and no coaster brakes, so a passenger who gets tired of pedaling can simply freewheel or take his feet off the pedals. (As Velo.Saliko puts it, the ConferenceBike is "not meant for racing but for fun moments in community," so don't feel guilty if you take it easy on downhill stretches.) How to book a tourConferenceBike tours are geared to small groups, so the easiest way to arrange a tour is to get several people together (up to a maximum of six, or seven if you're doing the driving). If you're traveling alone, it won't hurt to contact the local tour operator when you're in Munich or Dresden, just in case other solo travelers are also looking for a tour.

Google's IPO Jumps to $100 at Open
With traders' eyes locked on their computer screens, fingers twitching as they awaited the GOOG ticker to move, Google floated into the public markets Thursday at $85 and immediately jumped to $100 on the Nasdaq stock market.
As investors moved to get a piece of the oft-delayed, but apparently still-hot IPO,
shares of Google At that price, which was trending higher at presstime, Google and its shareholders had raised just under $2 billion. But at $85, the company raised $1.67 billion.
The debut followed weeks of missteps, gaffes and even some investor
confusion about its unique Dutch auction style -- a process that managed to
ruffle the feathers of institutional investors and some Wall Street
brokerages for how it was handled.
Institutional and retail investors were rumored to be lukewarm on the
offering because of the high valuation, rumors that were confirmed by
Tuesday's reduction in the size and price of the offering from its earlier
range of $108 to $135.
But Kevin Lee, the CEO of search engine Did-It, a U.S.
search engine marketing firm, said he expected more interest after the
shares began trading. Lee, who bid to buy 200 shares
during the Dutch auction process and was awarded about 140 shares from his
tiered bids on the stock, said he was waiting to see how the issue fared before
deciding what to do.
"There may be a whole lot of pent-up demand, people who thought $108 was
too high, or who felt the [underwriters] set too high a threshold in terms
of investing experience or net worth" in order to participate in the IPO,
he told internetnews.com. "I spoke to a lot of people who wanted to
wait and see."
At press time, shares of Google had gone as high as $149.93, a 76 percent
jump from its initial price of $85, before settling back around $98. However, a Nasdaq spokesman told CBS Marketwatch that a broker-dealer put up premature data. The $149 trade is expected to be canceled.
Google's road to its IPO had been bumpy, such as an ill-timed
interview granted to Playboy magazine and millions of shares that the
company failed to register with the SEC. IPO ambitions are frequently
reduced in lackluster markets, but Google's reduction was above average.
The selling mood in the markets as of late didn't help either. Google eventually slashed its anticipated price range for the IPO, and shareholders reduced the number of shares they sold in the
Chris Winfield, the president and co-founder of 10E20, a
global search engine marketing firm, said he was sitting out the IPO.
"I still don't think the price is justified. From my perspective, I love
Google, but I see too much competition from Microsoft's Yahoo trades at 83 times 2004 earnings estimates and 60 times 2005
estimates. Using the estimates of Mark Mahaney of American Technology
Research, at $85 a share, Google will trade at 65 times 2004 estimates and
just 36 times 2005 estimates.
For the six months ended June 30, Google's profit was $143 million, on revenues in the same period of $1.35 billion, according to its SEC filings.
The real measure of GOOG will come in the next few weeks, as Googlemania gives way to business as usual on the Street. That's when the market will make clear the true value of the stock.
"It will be a volatile stock," said Tom Taulli, author of Investing in IPOs. First, hedge funds and short-sellers will have their way with it, selling it off to bargain hunters who eschewed the auction. "If you're a retail investor playing with professionals," Taulli said, "you'll get crushed."
Susan Kuchinskas contributed to this story

The Divorce Party by Jennifer Hayward
Published by Harlequin on 2013-10-01
Genres: Contemporary
Reviewed by Vanessa
Finally, Riccardo De Campo has agreed to give his estranged wife, Lilly, the one thing she has been wanting for quite a while now, a divorce. Riccardo and Lilly had once enjoyed a whirlwind fairytale existence, but things were erected in their paths, and they seemed to have floundered with their poor choices and lack of reliance on one another. Now, it appears that Riccardo has decided that they will host a divorce party to put a period to their twelve month estrangement. However, will these two be able to really put an end to what had ignited them into matrimony, or will they find that they have what it takes to make it last?
The Divorce Party was a refreshing enjoyable tale about normal people making mistakes, and learning to work through them slowly. I found the differing outlooks on their situation spot-on in The Divorce Party.
Riccardo and Lilly were both on equal footing in The Divorce Party with their flaws. They both managed to lie to one another in different areas over the course of their story, as well as betray one another too! I didn't always agree with their choices in The Divorce Party, but I understood their stance in making those same choices.
In the end, I found that Riccardo and Lilly discovered that a HEA is NOT always easy, but takes hard work and dependence upon one another when they find that they flounder in life, and they deserve their HEA! I eagerly await Jennifer Hayward's next endeavor with Harlequin Presents.

From the time we are born we are soon cajoled into pleasing others and it has become so natural that even as adults, displeasing others causes us untold suffering, and at times mental breakdown. At home we expect to please our parents, at school we are forced to please our teachers and at work God help us if we do not please our bosses. Why are we so habituated with pleasing others?
This is not to say that pleasing others is always bad, or unfortunate, or evil in itself but rather to point out that working to other people's agendas and inclinations and irrespective of our own preferences and convictions can be self-defeating, morally destructive and spiritually weakening.
It was because Pilate wanted to please the crowd that he gave an innocent man, Christ Jesus, to the Jews to be crucified, see John 19:16.
It was because King Herod wanted to please the Jews, see Acts 12:2-3, that he killed St. James with the sword and immediately afterwards arrested St. Peter and put him in prison.
It was because Aaron wanted to please the people, the same people who God brought through the desert, that had temporarily lost faith in Moses because of his absence in the mountain, that he made them melt their gold jewels and made a molten calf for them to worship, see Exodus 32:4.
I am told that women dress to please other women and when a woman goes to a function and see another woman looking at her scornfully, or says something unflattering, then that woman when she gets home has nightmares wondering what she wore that looked that awful.
Let us face facts and acknowledge that peer pressure does funny things to people. Gangs understand this only too well and often ask individual members to do unconscionable, and at times, criminal things to stay on good terms within the gang.
I see this unfortunate "like" trend has entered the church and people are being asked whether they like or dislike a lot of things.
I have no problem with someone saying to the pastor, "Oh I like your sermon, thank you" but I deplore that sermon being posted online and the church asking people to say whether they like it or not.
Many websites now follow this "like" habit for nearly everything posted online.
Christians ought to be very careful in following this worldly habit for in truth it is the very opposite to what God wants.
Let this be absolutely clear. You should not preach, teach or write spiritual articles to please people, neither should you do so to offend people.
God is not a democracy and has to depend on people's likes and dislikes in order to function effectively. The plain truth is that most people have a deep dislike for the things of God and an unholy relish for the junk the world offers. This has been true since time immemorial.
God deals always with the things that people need and not with their wants, and especially so when what people want are the very opposite to what God wants for them. The truth is that if God granted us what we want we would be the most dreadful beings on the planet and we would, in all likelihood, have perished from off the face of the earth.
The Bible puts this in perspective and affirms this very clearly and assuredly when it says, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19)
The purpose of communicating the Gospel of Jesus Christ in whatever form is NEVER about pleasing people but rather in communicating something from the heart of God that believers may find beneficial or sinners find useful in their search for truth.
If your leg is ailing you and you go to the doctor for an examination, what you may very well want him to do is to give you a massage, and tell you to go home for everything is alright. But if the leg is cancerous what you need is surgery, and if the doctor is a serious doctor, and not a bumbling quack, he would do what is needful. In a like manner of things pertaining to God would true ministers of the gospel act.
The Apostle Paul was punished more than the other apostles, check out 2 Corinthians 11: 23-26, but he stuck to his principles and refused to kowtow to the dictates of the world or to give pleasure to it, "For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ." (Galatians 1:10)
Notice here what Paul said as a minister of the gospel, "FOR IF I YET PLEASED MEN, I SHOULD NOT BE THE SERVANT OF CHRIST"
Believers are entrusted by God with ministering the gospel in a number of ways and whatever your ministry, or calling, or work for Christ the one thing you must not do is dilute it, or compromise it or undermine it to gain human plaudits. Paul reminded us of this, "But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts." (1 Thessalonians 2:4)
Pleasing people is not a part of Christian ministry in any of its permutations.
True believers endeavour always to please God; and if people are delighted with what they observe, then well and good, and if they are not, then so be it. Peter summed up this God-centric approach very well when he responded to the High Priest's question after escaping from prison, "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29)
Many believers, in order to have a peaceful life, believe that by compromising, trying to please the world, adopting its ungodly and demeaning standards in dress, in conversation and in lifestyle will do the trick for them, but they are mistaken and should awake from their slumber for the Bible tells us this, "When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him." (Proverbs 16:7) Even in this, it is pleasing God that matters most.
Alas, pleasing God for many become a gargantuan exercise, so enormous as to become unachievable because the one ingredient that makes that possible is missing from their portfolio. The writer of the Hebrews puts it like this:
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." (Hebrews 11:6)
Faith, above all else, is the essential ingredient that is required to please God, and without that indispensable faith in the right amount all our efforts at pleasing God fails. This is not miraculous faith that is a gift of the Holy Spirit, this is not saving faith that makes salvation possible. No this is the everyday faith that is required for living godly day by day, being in sync with God, obeying his commands without question or hesitation and being productive according to his will.
All believers have this latter faith, for in the true sense, that is what validates our relationship with God; but it needs to be strong enough in its exercise to enable us to please God.
Some of the failures of the original disciples of Christ were yes, their lack of faith (which is easily understood) but more often it was because they had too little faith, i.e. their faith was simply too weak. Jesus recognized this when he remarked on their failure to heal a sick child, "Jesus answered, You were not able to make the demon go out, because your faith is too small." (Matthew 17:20 Easy-to-Read Version)
So accepting that we have faith and we desire to please God, how can we bolster our faith, how can we build it up so that in our everyday living we continuously please God?
Here are some things we should consider.
1. Fervently practice claiming God's promises. The promises in the Bible are ours and we are apt to see them as not belonging to us personally, but they are, and we should grab hold of them and claim them. This is not a name-it and claim-it, as preached by some prosperity gospel preachers, but an affirmation that we believe what God tells us and we will act on his word. When God tells you to resist the devil and he will flee (James 4:7) then whenever you encounter the devil, in your thoughts, in your home, while lying in bed or anywhere else, then resist him in the name of Jesus and he WILL flee. Just do not be afraid and nervy. IT WORKS. You just have to get used to practising it over and over until it becomes part of who you are. The more you claim God's promises the stronger and more effective your faith becomes.
2. Revisit how you pray and meditate. Too many believers have a ritualistic approach to prayer and meditation. For example you read a verse or verses of scripture, you think about what you read for a little while, you have a short prayer and you are done. There is nothing wrong here, being methodical is fine and for some people it works quite well. Ritual is fine for group settings and in churches but for individuals doing private prayers and meditation this form is too restrictive.
You need to tap into the flow of the Holy Spirit and go wherever it leads. The session may well begin with groaning and head-shaking because God hit you with some big problems that you think are unfair. It may involve tears and thanks for surviving the onslaught of the enemy. It might continue with recalling a few scriptures of triumph, and they are many throughout the Bible, and it might end with a song and prayers of thanks for God's tremendous help. And not once did you open the Bible. By following the Spirit our pray-and-meditation session can be energised and be a lot more useful as we practice new approaches and innovation.
3. Seek out opportunities to practice compassion. Nearly every believer thinks he or she is compassionate but for many the compassion is limited to understanding the concept. Some things you must practice to make them real, for them to have meaning and for them to make a difference. Compassion is one such where desire is just not sufficient, you have to be doing it for it to be useful. A widow is destitute and you desire her well-being, well then why not help her? There are many of the household of faith who can do with a little help, many children in need of assistance and you probably pass them unnoticed, day by day, as if they are invisible.
Many times we ease our conscience by referring to the government's welfare programmes or we put something in the offering plate or we may give the street beggar an occasional donation. Why not sponsor a school child in your village, or on your block; why not supply that aged couple with a few groceries weekly and show true Christian compassion? These are real meaningful acts of genuine compassion pleasing to God. Never forget what Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." (Matthew 25:40)
4. Make Bible study meaningful. Bible study can be one of the most enriching, uplifting experiences the believer can have if it is done right. Bible study should not just be about understanding a passage of scripture and making the application, which is fine and we tend to do that frequently, but Bible study should be about adventure, discovery and amazement. If like me you have read the Bible from cover to cover more than once you should know what is in the Bible and nothing should be new; or so you think.
If you cannot find something new and amazing in the Bible as you study it then you are not doing the real Bible study.
Truth be told you need to equip yourself with the necessary tools to get the best out of Bible study - Bible Encyclopedia, Bible Concordance, Bible Dictionary, Topical Bible, Bible Commentary and one or two different versions of the Bible other than the King James Version.
As you study, check out the origin of words, visit the birthplace of people mentioned, study their lifestyle, dress, local culture, enquire into their work habits, family life and rituals, geography and education. For example you read about the wise men from the East, but do you know who they really were? You read about the woman at the well whom Jesus asked for water but do you know anything about her or her village? Is that well still there now and where is it on the map? How did Abraham manage to build wells like this one? Can you trace Abraham's journey through ancient Palestine the same way you can trace Paul's Missionary Journeys? How large was Abraham's holding and how much water did he need for them and his household? How do you water a large herd from one well?
These are just some of the questions that should arise, and answers sought, as you do your Bible study; and the questions raised on spiritual matters are even more numerous. You may not unravel all the mysteries you encounter but you will gain fresh insights into them and lots of different things that before you just took for granted you will come to understand quite well.
This is the way to approach your Bible study, and the more you know about the Bible and God the more you are able to walk in his ways and please him. Paul reminds us, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15)
True believers know how imperative it is to please God, and if at any time there is a conflict between pleasing God and pleasing people, or even pleasing oneself, then the answer is straightforward. We please God.
Enough said.

6 years, 11 months ago
Hey wordpress-users
Can you please help me with the slideshow plugin? I installed it in my WordPress Installation. No problem so far. I activated it and used the short code in one of my pages. The plugin works perfect and i can step through my pictures and see the caption. The problem is. Everytime i place the slideshow on a page it shows the portfolio on the very top area of this page, even if i have written a headline and some text right BEFORE the shortcode. Can you help me? I'd like to post some info text and after that i want to insert the short code so that i have the slideshow right after my text.
THX in advance 😉

Monteith was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room on July 13. Earlier reports indicated that the 31-year-old actor — who had a history of drug use in the years before his death — had succumbed to a drug overdose. First responders at the hotel noted drug paraphernalia, including a hypodermic needle and a spoon with drug residue, in the room. Two empty bottles of champagne were also present (as reported by TMZ).
The combination of heroin and alcohol led to Monteith's death.
In the final coroner's report, it was also noted that Cory Monteith had previously been sober during a springtime stint in rehab. His tolerance for drugs and alcohol may have been lower as a result.
Production on "Glee" Season 5 was delayed following Monteith's death, and a special tribute episode, "The Quarterback," will air on Thursday, Oct. 10.

Adventure Cycling uses your membership fees for programs that allow us to do route research, produce maps, publish our member magazine, lead tours and educational courses, and spread the word about the value of bicycle travel. In general, we work hard to inspire people to get out and ride their bikes.
Adventure Cycling Association is a 501(c)3 charitable organization. Each payment of individual or family membership dues, over $14 per year, is tax-deductible. For a life membership, the whole amount minus $225 (individual) or $275 (joint) is tax-deductible in the year it was paid. All donations are tax-deductible.
Adventure Cycling Association is a 501(c)3 nonprofit membership association. You can find more information about our nonprofit and financial status on Guidestar.org. Our IRS 990 form is also available through its website. Guidestar is an independent national database of nonprofit organizations.
We publish nine issues of Adventure Cyclist per year. Six monthly issues for the months of February, March, April, May, June, and July, then three double issues: August/September, October/November, December/January. Each issue is mailed in the month of the cover date.
Having a family membership entitles everyone in your immediate family (living at the same address) the ability to purchase maps at the discounted price and to join one of our organized tours.
This is done to ensure continued service without interruption and is a convenience most of our members appreciate. The first renewal notice is sent out about four months before the membership expiration date.
You can join or renew online or via phone with a credit card, or through regular mail by sending a check or money order. Our office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Time, Monday through Friday.
Your membership number consists of a letter and 6 numbers (Z123456). It is located on your membership card and in the upper left-hand corner of any correspondence from the organization, such as your magazine, Cyclosource, and tour catalog.
You can fill out our gift membership form. This will allow you to enter the gift recipient's information, your contact info (in case of any questions) and a gift message.
Please contact us and we will send you a new copy.
Because our magazine is not forwarded by the post office, we need to hear about address changes at least four weeks prior to the cover date of the next issue. Update your membership information in your My Adventure Cycling account to prevent an interruption in service.
To update your personal information in our system, log into your My Adventure Cycling account. To give us feedback, send a suggestion.

Your account will be registered with us, but the first time you log in, you will need to reset your password.
The Cyclists' Yellow Pages (CYP) was an online resource for bicycle-travel information on the Adventure Cycling website. Our staff spent a significant amount of time updating and maintaining this resource. After surveying our membership, we found that a majority were not using it on a regular basis. So, with the launch of our new website we made the decision to not redesign the CYP at this time. Note that we do have a Resources section on our new site that includes our Blog with touring tips, gear, and bicycle routes; Forums for you to ask and answer bicycle-travel related questions; a How To Department, and lots more.
We are currently reviewing which information contained in the CYP would be important for us to provide to cyclists and what info is readily available through other sources. We strive to use our staffing resources in the most efficient way as possible.

Vitamin C and Breastfeeding
Based on the recommended dietary intake of vitamin C, breastfeeding women should take 115 mg or 120 mg of the vitamin daily (depending on their age). Women who are breastfeeding have a higher need for vitamin C, but they should have no problem getting enough through their diet. However, it is important to know that high doses of vitamin C can cause side effects.
Breastfeeding women have a higher need for vitamin C, compared to other adults (including pregnant women). However, most breastfeeding women have no trouble getting enough vitamin C though their diet.
The RDA (recommended dietary allowance) of vitamin C for breastfeeding women is 115 mg per day (for women 18 years and younger) or 120 mg per day (for women 19 years and older). Since vitamin C is found in a wide variety of commonly consumed foods, most women don't have any trouble getting enough vitamin C. Also, if you are taking a multivitamin (or are still taking your prenatal vitamin), you are probably getting plenty of vitamin C.
The maximum recommended vitamin C dose for breastfeeding women is 1800 mg per day (for women 18 years and younger) or 2000 mg per day (for women 19 years or older). Higher doses are likely to cause side effects.
You should talk with your healthcare provider about vitamin C and breastfeeding. Each woman's situation is different, and you and your healthcare provider understand your situation best. After considering what you want and expect, as well as your current health situation, you and your healthcare provider can make a shared decision about vitamin C and breastfeeding in your particular situation.

The Thomas B. Jeffery Company begins building one-cylinder Ramblers in a converted 19th-century bicycle plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin. By 1914, the cars are quite sophisticated and luxurious. Jeffery dies in 1916 and the children rename the Ramblers, "Jeffrey's" in his honor. 1919
Charles W. Nash leaves the presidency of Billy Durant's General Motors with the intention of taking over Packard. That deal falls through and Nash buys the Jeffery Company, which becomes Nash Motors. By 1928, he was making 138,169 cars each year. 1937
On January 4, Nash merges with the Kelvinator Corporation, makers of home appliances. Kelvinator President George Mason becomes president of Nash-Kelvinator and Nash is elected chairman of the board. 1938
Nash introduces the first "conditioned air" in its cars. 1940
Nash pioneers the single-unit, all-steel car body with the Nash 600. 1941
Nash reaches 9.7% of the market. 1942-1944
Nash's Kenosha factory turns to building Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engines under contract for Navy planes. 1945
Nash gets a jump on the other companies for postwar production, selling 6,148 cars. This makes the company, fleetingly, the #3 U.S. auto maker. 1950
Nash introduces the first compact car, a convertible Rambler. A Nash Ambassador finishes third in the Mexican Road Race. 1954
On May 1, the American Motors Corporation is formed through a merger of Nash-Kelvinator Corporation and the Hudson Motor Car Company. On October 12 following George Mason's death, George Romney is named AMC chairman, president, and general manager. 1956
A limited-edition Rambler Rebel is made for the 1957 model year. It has the Nash-Hudson V-8 and many modern features and luxury amenities. One thousand cars are built. 1957
The Nash and Hudson nameplates are put to rest by the newly introduced 1958 models (Hudsons had been merely dressed-up Nash's since the 1955 model year and were known by some as "Hashes"). The Ambassador, basically a Rambler stretched from the windshield forward, is introduced for the 1958 model year. 1960
AMC, having concentrated on small car production since 1955, reaches 7.5% of the domestic auto market with 485,745 cars sold. The 1961 Ambassador is the last with a 117" wheelbase (from 1962-1964 it was a dressed-up Classic). 1961
Renault and AMC enter into an agreement to build Ramblers and Ambassadors in Belgium. IKA Renault exported Ramblers to Argentina from 1961-1967. 1962
Romney resigns in February to run for, and is elected, governor of Michigan. He is succeeded as AMC president by Roy Abernathy, who reintroduces luxury models -- a move some say helped lead to the company's downfall. 1963
3,922 "Mitey Mites," miniature jeeps for airborne transport, had been produced for the Marine Corps since 1960. AMC Classics and Ambassadors are named Motor Trend Car of the Year. 1964
The longer wheelbase Ambassador returns for 1965. It's extended from the windshield forward, but otherwise is still a Classic except for trim and amenities. 1965
AMC pays its last stock dividend ($.11/share down from $2.06 in 1962) until 1974. AMC had sold 246 "Rambulances" since 1960. 1966
The Classic is rebodied and renamed Rebel for the 1967 model year. Convertibles are reintroduced. AMC reports a $30 million loss for the fiscal year, compared to a $7 million gain in 1965 and a $44 million gain in 1964. 1967
AMC reports a net loss of $76 million for the fiscal year. The Javelin is introduced for the 1968 model year, followed by the AMX the next February. 1968
Kelvinator division is sold and AMC is back in the black, for a while. 1969
On June 30, the last U.S.-produced Rambler (an American) rolls off the line in Kenosha. A total of 4,204,925 had been made.

Police State. This Country is FUCKED! Thanks Dick.
Posted by Cliff Lyon in Crimes, Dick Cheney, nazis, Neocons on September 1, 2008
Its time for the law enforcement community to decide of they are going become a community of thugs or respectful civil servants. It takes balls to be a cop. If you are so afraid that you have to man handle women, you should not be a cop. If you're not willing to take the risk, don't do it. If you really, really respect authority and have no interest in the law and the Constitution, don't become a cop.
If you are an angry, white jar-head, do not become a cop. If you hate liberal and progressive people who protest the government, don't become a cop.
There are good cops and bad cops. If you are a bad cop, you suck. If you are a good cop, speak up.

Oumar Niasse boosted Hull's chances of avoiding relegation from the Premier League as the Senegal forward inspired a crucial 2-1 victory over Swansea, while Bournemouth won for the first time in 2017 thanks to Josh King's treble in a 3-2 success against West Ham.
Niasse, on loan from Everton, came off the bench to score twice in the second half at the KCOM Stadium on Saturday and Marco Silva's side are now just one point from safety.
After a tense first half, Niasse broke the deadlock in the 69th minute when he played a one-two with Abel Hernandez and drilled past Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.
Niasse sealed Hull's third win over Swansea in all competitions this season with a blistering strike from inside the penalty area in the 78th minute.
Alfie Mawson's 90th minute goal was no consolation for Swansea, who have lost their last three away games and are only three points above third bottom Hull.
At Dean Court, Bournemouth overcame two missed penalties and a late equaliser to end their nine-match winless run in all competitions.
King had netted with a penalty in last weekend's draw at Manchester United, but the Bournemouth striker fired wide with another spot-kick in the early stages against the Hammers following Sofiane Feghouli's foul on Charlie Daniels.
Just 48 seconds later, West Ham winger Michail Antonio marked his return from suspension with a cool finish after taking Feghouli's pass and spinning away from his marker in the 10th minute.
King made amends for his penalty howler in the 31st minute when the striker flicked the ball up in the penalty area before firing home.
Remarkably, Bournemouth missed another penalty, this one awarded for Jose Fonte's foul on March Pugh late in the first half, as Benik Afobe's effort was saved by Darren Randolph.
King struck again in the 48th minute when his close-range effort from Afobe's flick-on was allowed to stand despite West Ham's appeals for handball.
West Ham's Andre Ayew tapped into an empty net from Sam Byram's 83rd minute cross, but King bagged the winner from close-range in stoppage-time to lift Bournemouth six points clear of the relegation zone.
Everton improved their prospects of a Europa League berth with a 3-0 win over West Bromwich Albion at Goodison Park.
Ronald Koeman's seventh placed team are just two points behind sixth placed Manchester United after recording their fifth successive home victory.
With British boxer and Everton fan Tony Bellew watching from the stands after his recent heavyweight success against David Haye, Kevin Mirallas landed the first blow for the hosts in the 39th minute.
Ross Barkley's shot was parried by Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster and Mirallas was perfectly placed to slot home.
Morgan Schneiderlin doubled Everton's lead on the stroke of half-time, the midfielder unleashing a ferocious strike for his first goal since a January move from Manchester United.
Romelu Lukaku sealed the rout with a header in the 82nd minute for his 19th league goal of the season.
Liverpool host Burnley on Sunday in the weekend's only other league action due to FA Cup quarterfinal action.

In this study, the large-scale whole-mount in situ hybridization was employed to screen an activin-treated ectoderm cDNA library of Xenopus laevis, leading to the isolation of 51 novel cDNA sequences of Xenopus. So this approach turned out to be practicable for identification of new genes from a cDNA library in a large scale. XXBP-1, XMLP and XAT were selected for further functional studies based on their suggestive expression pattern. XXBP-1 is a novel basic leucine zipper transcription factor in Xenopus. It is a maternal factor and expressed on the dorsal blastopore lip and ventral ectoderm with exception of perspective neural plate in gastrula stages. RT-PCR indicated that XXBP-1 is weakly expressed before gastrula stages, afterwards is up-regulated and kept in a persistent level during the embryonic development. Overexpression of XXBP-1 leads to ventralization of the injected embryos as described for BMP-4. Moreover, XXBP-1 and BMP4 interact in a positive feedback loop. Consistent with mediating BMP-4 signaling, the ectopic expression of XXBP-1 partially recovers the
expression of epidermal keratin in animal cap assay and converses the dorsolizaiton imposed by truncate BMP receptor I. Thus, we propose that the XXBP-1 is downstream of BMP receptors, and plays roles in the inhibition of neural differentiation. XXBP-1 functions as a transcriptional activator. When overexpressed ventrally, the effect of wild type XXBP-1 can be phencopied by the XXBP1-VP16 containing the activator domain VP16 and the DNA binding domain of XXBP-1. Another fusion construct, XXBP1-Eve containing the DNA binding domain of XXBP-1 and even-skipped repression domain induce neural markers NCAM and nrp1 in animal cap assay and leads to the secondary axis when overexpressed ventrally in a low ratio (10%). This confirms that XXBP-1 acts as an activator, playing negative roles in neural induction. The XMLP may be a new number of the small MLP protein family. Using whole-mount in situ hybridization and RT-PCR, XMLP maternal transcripts were detected during the cleavage stages. After MBT the signals are restricted to the neural plate.
Subsequently XMLP is expressed predominantly in the brain, somites, and pronephros. Ectopic expression of XMLP results in eye and axis defects and as well as a change of the expression pattern of Krox 20. Apoptosis was induced by the
injection of XMLP. Overexpression of mutant XMLPs indicated that this phenotype is correlated with its putative PSD domain and glycine at position 2. The loss-of-function of XMLP was studied by injection with a morpholino oligo complementary to
XMLP mRNA, which revealed the malformations of anterior axis and eye defects. According to extirpation experiments the phenotypes might be correlated with disturbed morphogenetic movements rather than an inhibition of induction process.
Overexpression of XCYP26 resulted in a shift of the expression pattern of XMLP, showing the signal stripe of XMLP in injected half of the embryo getting diffuse or even disappeared. This observation suggests that retinoic acid plays an important role in the XMLP regulation. Taken together, XMLP may participate in pattern formation of the embryonic axis and the central nervous system. XAT encodes Xenopus amidinotransferase which shares a highly conserved sequence with the homologues of human, chick and rat. Characterization of embryonic expression indicates that XAT is differentially expressed around the yolk plug including the dorsal blastopore area at early gastrula stages and is extensively expressed in the midline of the neural plate of early neurula stages. Sections reveal that its transcripts are located in the notochord. In the tailbud stage signals are found both in the notochord and the trunk area, whereas faint signals can be found in the
cephalic part only.

Reviewer(s): | Elfes, C., Polidoro, B., Livingstone, S. & Carpenter, K.E. |
Justification: While there have been no declines documented, this species feeds predominantly on live coral, which may make it susceptible to extensive coral loss. However, it has a relatively wide distribution, apparently large population and no obvious major threats other than coral loss. It is listed as Least Concern. |
Range Description: | This species is endemic to the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, northeast to the southern coast of Oman (Allen 1980, G.R. Allen pers. comm. 2006). It has been recorded at depths of 1-20 m. | ||||
Countries occurrence: | Native: Djibouti; Egypt; Eritrea; Israel; Jordan; Saudi Arabia; Somalia; Sudan; Yemen | ||||
FAO Marine Fishing Areas: | Native: Indian Ocean – western | ||||

Population: | It is generally common with stable populations (G.R. Allen pers. comm. 2006). There is no evidence to suggest any declines. | ||
Current Population Trend: | Stable | ||
Additional data: |
Habitat and Ecology: | This species is associated with areas of rich coral growth in relatively shallow water (G.R. Allen pers. comm. 2006). It usually occurs in pairs or as larger aggregations of up to about 20 animals. Generally rests beneath Acropora plate corals during the day becoming active in late afternoon. This species is an obligate corallivore. |
Systems: | Marine |
Use and Trade: | This species is sometimes collected for the aquarium trade (G.R. Allen pers. comm. 2006). |
Major Threat(s): | This species generally feeds on live coral, and may therefore decline in abundance following climate-induced coral depletion (Pratchett et al. 2008). Currently there has been no documented declines associated with coral loss, and there appear to be no other major threats to this species. |
Conservation Actions: | There appear to be no species-specific conservation measures in place. This species is believed to be present within marine protected areas. Monitoring of this species is needed in conjunction with coral monitoring, as well as determination of the degree of co-dependence between this species and corals. |

Awesome post Mike! Really appreciate your time explaining some of the issues and solutions you are facing - thankyou :)
I think I've realized that parts of why we are disagreeing is because I'm not exclusively thinking about TV episodic content. That and my experience in episode workflows is practically nil - hence all the questions for you :). Having said that, when I said "Red exclusive projects", I was considering our industry as a whole - things like TVCs, Music Videos, Live Concerts/Performances, Short Films, Feature's, Webisodes, Coperate jobs etc. There will be exceptions to many of these too - but there are also many cases where the vast majority of material shot (if not all) originates from Red.
Ahh - this explains a lot and why bringing raw through to grade would add a lot of time to your current workflow. I didn't realize that conform was done before entering the grading system. This is different from workflows I have been involved with - thanks for filling me in on this.
Ok - I understand that the results from VFX houses can be unpredictable, but I don't understand how converting all your non-vfx material to the same format as the vfx house fixes this for you? It seems like it would be preferable to try and bring that vfx footage up to match the non-vfx footage rather than change all of your non-vfx footage to match the effects? I feel like I've missed something here?
This seems like advocacy for staying in raw all the way through to the grade!:P
In all serious though, if raw was preserved all the way through to grading (apart from vfx shots and others which are forced to bake in a look), then it doesn't matter how it's been originally shot (again, with exceptions), it doesn't matter if someones screwed up the RedLogFilm proxies by crushing your blacks prematurely, it doesn't matter if incorrect white balance has been set or if people have used RedGamma instead of RedLogFilm etc - all of this is correctable and should result in some of the best matching footage because of it's malleability. Obviously this doesn't work so well with your workflows for various reasons (as you have explained), but it's interesting to note that what you regard as a problem for R3D files is an advantage in my mind :)
Ahh I see - I've just regarded these as VFX shots - even if they are done by the editors. As software has grown in features over the years there has grown more crossover in which departments do what.
Isn't that the truth! Your opinions have only opened my eyes more in this regard - so, thanks :)
Regarding a colorist not deciding what files they are given, I completely understand this, however I would have thought a post-production supervisor would have tried to create a workflow that hands them the best possible files to work with (I'm not sure if you work in this role, so this isn't a jab at you). Given what you have explained, I understand why passing a colorist R3D's in a TV episodic environment is not always (if ever) feasible. Still seems a bit of a shame to me though.
On another note, is 4k re-release in the mind set of TV content at the moment? If so, how is this being provisioned for? Are 4k ProRes proxies being used? I guess the fact that the "A cam" Alexa is shooting 1080p Prores, probably answers some of my question. I guess this is another area where maintaining an R3D pipeline seems advantageous - it would enable a really simple re-release in 4k down the track - but it seems that such a pipeline is not easily integrated into standard workflows. Maybe NAB shall shed some more light on where the industry is headed. Maybe we'll see Arri's 4k solution - who knows :)
To echo Mike's comments: my experience on at least the commercials, music videos, concerts, and shorts is that the schedule is even faster and more budget-conscious than episodic TV. That means getting it conformed quickly and having a basic "technical grade" already applied -- which is one way of looking at RedLogFilm -- is even more important.
Bear in mind that we worked with film for 20-30 years prior to going all digital. In the case of film for TV, we generally work(ed) with "best light" scans that essentially compare to RedLogFilm: images that are relatively balanced in terms of RGB levels, nothing crushed or clipped, in log space (or something approaching log space). A simple overall correction or LUT brings it into Rec709 color space and allows color correction relatively quickly, depending on the complexity of the look the client wants.
This is a time/money issue that generally can't be done as quickly or as easily as you might think. Look at a major motion picture, for example, that has maybe a 3-week schedule (at best) for color timing, with VFX coming in from 7 or 8 vendors in different countries. I guarantee you, all the effects will look completely different and will require effort to drop into the movie without major changes. In some cases, I've had situations where I've had to change the look of the scene because the visual effects were so far off, and there was just no time available for the VFX company to change the grade on their end. I once had a situation where the VFX company went out of business after they delivered the effects, so they couldn't even change them if they wanted to -- they no longer existed!I understand that the results from VFX houses can be unpredictable, but I don't understand how converting all your non-vfx material to the same format as the vfx house fixes this for you? It seems like it would be preferable to try and bring that vfx footage up to match the non-vfx footage rather than change all of your non-vfx footage to match the effects?
Not for time and money's sake in a longform project, no. My advice would be to go to NY or LA and sit in on an 8-hour color-timing session for a major TV show, and note how quickly the crew has to work in order to get a one-hour network show done and delivered. Typically, the colorist works by his/herself on the first day, timing the entire show. The second day, the client comes in and watches the show in real-time and makes notes and changes. If many alterations are needed, this session might go long. At the end of the session, the colorist outputs the final delivery version as a file or to tape, depending on the client's needs.This seems like advocacy for staying in raw all the way through to the grade!
Note, BTW, that even Social Network and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo were not done directly from the R3D files -- they went from intermediate DPX files instead, just to speed up the workflow and conform, and lighten the processor load on the color-correction system. Michael Cioni has gone into detail about this in past posts on his blog and here on Reduser.net.
Nobody cares yet. I bet 4K will be commercially viable about the time that 100% of every American cable channel is available in 1080 HD -- and we're a long way from that happening. My guess: maybe 7-10 years for 4K broadcast, but a lot will depend on the economy and what the networks and studios decide to do.On another note, is 4k re-release in the mind set of TV content at the moment?
agreed, keep up the good work and get some friggin sleep, you guys must be beyond overtime now.
I think people are only looking at the distribution methods we have today, without considering how that could change in the future. So far, the Internet has barely even touched cinema distribution.
I know that's going to change. It already is, not just on the high end (RED) but on the low end too. No one is going to be "waiting" on the broadcasters or cable; instead, new companies will route around them.
RED is part of making that happen. And 4K is where we want to be when it does (soon).
Not a problem, Jim. I enjoy the fact that Red pushes the envelope, and one thing on which I think we'll both agree is that things do change over time. The real question is "how much time" for the change to happen.
If I'm wrong about Social Network or Girl with the Dragon Tattoo being done from DPX files, perhaps I misunderstood Michael's lectures and blogs. One thing I will add is, in some cases, we get in DPX files for color correction that are "dodgy" and require rescanning (or reoutputting, in the case of digital files), just to give us more range. As long as it's a true log file -- like a RedLogFilm file -- it generally will work, though my preference is to start off with a balanced correction. I don't mind seeing the temp onset correct as an additional file to refer to, and a corrector like Baselight does allow dragging along two simultaneous files, using one for a "match to" comparison. But much too often, the DP will say, "just use that as a general ballpark -- don't match it 100%," and we wind up discarding it.
Congrats on the laser projector, BTW. I have no doubt there are many nervous Sony and Christie executives at the show. If you can get this out for $10K by the end of the year, it'll spread like wildfire in Hollywood.

O.C. panel could sink 19th Street Bridge
The controversial 19th Street Bridge could soon become a thing of the past.
The Orange County Transportation Authority Board of Directors will consider permanently removing the $150 million Santa Ana River crossing from the county master plan of highways at its regular meeting on March 12.
Talks of building a bridge linking Westside Costa Mesa and southeast Huntington Beach have emerged about every decade since the 1950s, but have fizzled each time due to intense public disapproval and lack of agreement among the three stakeholder cities: Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach and Newport Beach.
OCTA's eight-member Regional Planning and Highways Committee, chaired by Huntington Beach Mayor Don Hansen, unanimously agreed Monday to recommend the board remove the bridge.
"I think it's time to be real about the bridge ... it's never going to happen," Hansen said. "It's not a bridge to no where, it's a bridge to fantasy land because it's never going to happen."
It was previously reported that to delete the bridge from the master plan, all three cities must study and agree on a set of traffic improvements in the bridge's absence.
If the OCTA board was to wipe the bridge from the plan, however, those studies would not have to be done, Hansen said.
"If we just can't come together on it, we're going to have to make a board-level decision," he said. "While it is a unique policy move because I still think you should be striving for cooperation amongst agencies ... it's still in the board's purview to remove it."
The topic has been a point of fierce contention from Costa Mesa and Huntington Beach residents, who say the bridge would do more harm than good. The most recent chance the public had to weigh in on the 19th Street Bridge was back in January at Eader Elementary School in Huntington Beach, where hundreds of people gave a resounding "no" vote to the bridge.
Hansen said the community's "pretty much adamant" desire to remove the bridge gave him the momentum to advance the issue with OCTA.
Both Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa's councils recently adopted resolutions formally opposing the bridge.
Newport Beach sent a letter to OCTA last week asking it to study the traffic impacts of removing the bridge. Newport policy says to build it, which would relieve congestion on southbound Pacific Coast Highway.
"We believe in responsible planning, which means we have to cover the impacts somehow, somewhere," Newport Beach Councilwoman Leslie Daigle said.
Daigle added that she did not support or oppose the bridge.
The county master plan of highways was envisioned in the 1950s as a way to distribute traffic fairly among all communities, Newport Beach Public Works Director Steve Badum wrote in an email.
A few years ago, the three cities proposed upgrading several intersections and roadways surrounding the deleted bridge. If completed, Newport would have agreed to change the master plan, but Huntington Beach withdrew, he wrote.
"We are concerned that the elimination of the bridge connection would create more regional traffic on Coast Highway, which will be an unfair burden to the folks in West Newport," Badum wrote. "That said, we are happy to resume working cooperatively to reach an appropriate conclusion that would address the concerns of the three cities."
The OCTA board meets Monday at 9 a.m. at its headquarters, 600 South Main Street, First Floor, Room 154 in Orange.
