Let's not forget skaters in other disciplines who did the same. Shizuka Arakawa won her two biggest titles under each of the systems. Irina Slutskaya was massively successful before and after COP. Shen and Zhao. Navka/Kostomarov.
Although, what it boils down to is, the COP/IJS didn't spring up in a vacuum. It was based on existing competitions and the top competitive programs skaters laid out. The things it rewards and emphasizes already exist in 6.0 skating. Some skaters took to it better than others, of course. But the opposite is also true. Buttle may never have had a World title under 6.0. Lysacek may have missed out on his Olympic gold without the COP. The only thing we know for sure is that Plushenko is a Skating God no matter what system is in place.

SIM Comp Details Improve Your Technique The foundation of any swim stroke is body position. Everything else about your stroke your pull, your kick, your breathing, your timing, your ability to maintain a straight line through the core is developed in the context of your specific body position over the course of thousands of repetitions in practice. In other words, you will develop different pull technique if you spend the majority of your practice time with a proper horizontal body position than if you practice while struggling to keep your legs afloat. When you race, you get the benefit of a wetsuit to put you in a horizontal position... it follows that you should spend a good deal of practice time in this position to develop your pull, your kick, and other elements of your technique accordingly. Enter the ROKA SIM Comp this long-needed training tool ensures that even athletes with little swimming background can build their stroke on a foundation of proper body position! Get the Fastest Body Position The SIM lifts up your hips just like a wetsuit, putting you in the fastest position possible and helping your body develop the muscle memory you need on race day. Most top wetsuit manufacturers focus on buoyancy alone. Sure, wetsuits help lift you up, but that's not enough and in some cases it can really get in the way of fast swimming. To get the fastest body position, you have to remove buoyancy, mass and resistance from the places you don't want it. With the SIM, we add buoyancy to the hips and legs, creating the fastest position possible. In a pool, this lets you feel what it's like to wear a wetsuit (which stresses your muscles differently) without having to worry about overheating or looking silly. And Have Fun Doing It! Let's face it, it's more fun to swim faster! We all like using the training toys that help us go faster in workout, and many of them are very important. The only bummer is that we don't get to race with our toys. ROKA SIM Shorts, on the other hand, let you train faster while actually bringing you closer to your true race day experience! Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q: Can I wear the SIM in a race? The SIM is considered by USAT rules to be the same as a wetsuit. Therefore, you may wear the SIM in a race where wetsuits are permitted, but you may not wear it in a non-wetsuit race. Q: Can I wear the SIM in the pool? Yes, absolutely. The SIM was designed for pool swimming. We've never had one returned for chlorine damage either. Just rinse it with fresh water after use and hang dry inside out.

He embezzled $825,000, but gets no prison time
But another who stole $557,000 gets 33 months
Don Bauder 5:30 p.m., March 27
A Christian friend of mine is fond of saying that with regard to the church, he is willing to join a movement, but not a tribe. He likes the idea of an organization devoted to bearing the light of Christ into the world, but he gets nervous when Christians start congregating and building up the ramparts against all those heathen sinners Out There.
Watching the opening of Blue Like Jazz, you can sympathize with his fears. Don, a high-school senior who assists the Youth Pastor at his Southern Baptist Church in darkest Texas, quotes a little Scripture and then flat-out asks a bunch of kids if they have any sins they want to confess to the group. Healthy!
Later, the breaking of a cross-shaped piñata showers the kiddies with individually sealed cups of Christ's cleansing blood. When the Youth Pastor warns Don not to let the folks at the local Christian college brainwash him with their newfangled ideas, it's hard not to smile.
But at the same time, it's had not to wince when Don reminds his enlightened and wandering dad that those same church folk showed up with groceries a lot more often than the old man's child-support checks. What do you know, Christians are people, doing the unglamorous work of taking care of their own. Some of them, like Don, are even smart, which is why Dad wants him to go to Oregon and attend Reed College, hotbed of intellectual freedom (read: godless liberalism).
Don's discovery of little old-fashioned sexual indiscretion within the flock is enough to send him fleeing north, even if it is, as he says, "just for the writing." Of course, once he gets there, he finds out what Christ meant when the promised that the world would hate his followers. It turns out non-Christians are people, too, and they have a bone to pick with the dominant social paradigm.
The division is real and in some cases deep, but it's all handled with a light, even deft touch by director Steve Taylor. Don's first stop upon arriving on campus is the men's room, only it isn't just the men's room, and he winds up standing next to a lesbian who prefers to use the urinal as she chats with her friend about the socio-politico-sexual dynamics of Tori Amos.
It almost reads as parody – look at these gender-hating hipsters – but Don's reaction saves it. Okay, so this is what it's like here. He is willing to go along for the ride, and so we are, too. Not surprisingly, all that intellectual diversity combines with Christianity's bad reputation to do a number on Don's faith. Plus, there's, you know, beer.
Reed turns out to be a hotbed of quirky whimsy as much as anything else, and so along with Don's putting away of childish beliefs, we're treated to a robot invasion of a chain bookstore, some creative anti-corporate graffiti, and a mock-Pope who burns copies of Chicken Soup for the Soul in an effort to redeem religion-addled humanity.
Eventually, of course, the whimsy runs dry, and Don has to reckon with the question of who he is and what he believes. Like most people, he does this with the help of those around him – especially his friends. (A more pious soul might note that the very first line of the very first Psalm warns against keeping company with scoffers.) And along the way, he learns that not everybody who goes to college loses their faith; some people actually discover it there. Blue Like Jazz is a thoughtful portrait of collegiate self-exploration: not brilliant, but wise; not momentous, but worthwhile.
Reader rating: Two stars
Bet this never sees the light of the film projector here in Fort Wayne - the seat of Allen County, IN that's 85% conservative Republicans. How did I end up here?

hi im new to ps3 breaking. i used iphone 3g with herms v4b to break my ps3. i have backup manager 1.1 and gaia manager v1. my backup manager does not work at all and my gaia manager when i try to run a game it says "registrtion of trophy information could not be completed. the game will quit. (8002291b)". any HELP please thank you.
ps my blueray payer is broken have to run from external hdd
10-22-2010 #102
I believe save-states don't work very well if not playing the game with an original game in the drive, I've always had problem, I'm sure some one some where is working on this try different managers with different patches enabled.
10-22-2010 #103
noob question ..
if I backup my original ps3 game, can I use the backup on a jailbroken PS3? Must I still have to put the original copy in the blu-ray drive?
10-22-2010 #104
You will be able to it, but keep in mind some game still don't work without an original disk (doesn't have to be the original of that game) best advice is to back it up and try it for yourself.
10-22-2010 #105
Can I backup my games in ISO format?
10-23-2010 #106
To my knowledge that would be a no, use you game manager to back up from original disk.
10-23-2010 #107
I've been gone for a while and man do things change. I was using original psgroove for ti84 and backmanager 1. I updated my ti84 psjbrk to 1.2. Hermes v4b and open manager 2.1f. IS that the best combo? I hear PL3 is good too. SHould I use that instead?
Also, has the updating of games been fixed? Can I update games either by agreeing when I load a game or through some other means? I did see people mention updates but haven't seen specifics.
10-23-2010 #108
Hi all,
Just found out about this, and wow, information overload. I literally don't know where to start, what works and what doesn't, which info is out of date and which is current!
I have no issues in programming my own board, but it seems the only board I can find in stock for the UK is the Maximus AVR USB 1.2. Will this work?
Also, I have seen products on the web which are apparently pre-modded, for peanuts (i,e less than what I'd buy a USB Board for). Are these gimmicks?
Thank you

What are the technical problems that need to be solved before we are able to run CFW?
Does it seem likely that it will happen, or is it more likely that we will be stuck on 3.41 with games that require 3.50 not working ever?

XIndians chose Dace Kime, a right-hander from the University of Louisvlle, with their third-round selection this afternoon.
Kime went to Defiance High and here is what his coach told Michael Beaven of the Beacon Journal today in Columbus.
"I am so proud," Defiance coach Tom Held said. "That kid is a worker. To move up from the eighth round to the third round is good for him. . . . He has stuff, and that is what scouts like. Stuff. He has a tremendous breaking ball and he throws 92-93 [miles per hour]. We are so proud of Dace and all of our alumni."
Here is the team's release:
In the third round of today's First-Year Player Draft the Indians selected junior RHP DACE KIME from the University of Louisville with the 79th overall selection.
Kime, 21, is 5-1 with a 3.14 ERA in 25 games/8 starts this year for the University of Louisville (66.0IP, 63H, 23ER, 20BB, 79K, 1HR, .257AVG). The eighth-ranked Louisville baseball team plays this weekend at Vanderbilt in the NCAA Super Regional. Kime began the season in the bullpen before entering the starting rotation mid-year and had a three start stretch from April 30-May 12 where he had a 0.96 ERA over 18.2 innings (3-0, 2ER, 25K). He has recorded 146 strikeouts in 131.2 innings during his 3-year Louisville career (10SO/9.0IP).
Dace was previously selected in the eighth round of the 2010 First-Year Player Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates after earning All-American, All-State and All-League honors during his career at Defiance (OH) High School. As a senior, he was 7-1 on the mound with a 1.31 ERA and 108 strikeouts after being named a Preseason Louisville Slugger All-American.

Ziggy picked up a pair of 841's at Dixon last year that appeared to be race bikes of some sort, lots of modified speed stuff inside, different bearing & pistons etc. Sputhe crawled all through the stuff, someone had spent a lot of time and effort on those engines, lots of modifications and some great workmanship

I would be anxious to see an Excelsior thread get started. I've been working on my '16 Ex and taking pictures of the motor, and trans work as I go. I plan to re-paint the bike as I've never been happy with paint work. I'll probably start a thread on the AMCA site as this forum is basically a Harley site. No offense, I love Harleys and this is a fantastic forum for H-Ds with a lot of very knowledgable people. Just not so much for Excelsiors.
sweet,i will work on getting one started on the 21 ex...........believe it or not 2 days after bringing the 3 barn bikes home i had another chance meeting with a fella who took me to an even sweeter find........running 1915 excelsior,yes as soon as its here i will take some glamour shots!...............love those boobs by the way!

man,anybody know whats what about these badges?
Those emblems were used from 1942-1946.
But I have read, also as Chris mentioned previously, that they all went to military contracts... and I didn't think the military spec would include tank emblems???
1946 Chief - take apart and put back together
101 Scout - parts accumulation stage
I'm sure you're right Pisten-Bully, but I know a lot of 841s have been civilianized, like the Harley XA. There was a fellow in Orlando that had an overchromed, civilian 841 that had those emblems.
hey guys,thanks for the feedback! so i did a bit of digging and found those badges on the same era indians...............but still scratching my head on the "why"..........could this be one of the "essential" bikes i read about during war time? this bike is totally odd to me and i love learning,thanks for any and all info!

Letter To Clare From Herbert [04/12/45]
it seems that women get more of a kick out of buying a hat than wearing it. Another thing that struck me is the fact that one can buy Electric irons, toasters, vacuum cleaners etc. I don't know the German occupation couldn't have been too rough. Perhaps the French are good actors and are putting on a good front. I'll investigate the matter.
By the way my French is improving. The first thing I learned was how to count so that I wouldn't be gyped [sic] in this money angle.
Getting back to women again. You still can't beat American women. They are without a doubt

WFAA Leaned On Baylor Health Care to Fire Ad Agency Over Dispute, Lawsuit Claims
A Grapevine ad agency is accusing WFAA of throwing its weight around and scuttling a relationship with its biggest client. Ann Page-Cahill of AP Commnications filed suit against WFAA's parent company, Belo Corp. and her former client, Baylor Health Care system in district court Tuesday, claiming Baylor cut her firm loose over an alleged overcharging dispute with WFAA.
Cahill claims she called WFAA out when it attempted to "deceive and overcharge" one of her clients. She says she confronted one of the news station's ad salespeople during a heated meeting that devolved into a yelling match between her and a sales manager.
After the meeting, she claims WFAA vice president Dave Muscari placed a call to Baylor's top public relations manager. The complaint says he "made statements about Ms. Cahill that were designed and intended to destroy her professional reputation and relationship with BCHS." Belo exerts serious influence over Baylor Health, she says, because it "decides whether or not to report to the public unfavorable news about BCHS."
It claims Nikki Mitchell, Baylor Health's vice president of public relations, has "striven to persuade WFAA not to run unflattering stories about BCHS."
And so, in July, Cahill says Baylor Health advised her that it was terminating their contract, for reasons she alleges are pretextual and "demonstrably untrue." In fact, she claims a Baylor Health employee told her at one point it was because of "the WFAA thing."
Cahill is now suing Baylor Health for breach of contract and for allegedly failing to pay for ads AP Communications placed on its behalf. She's also suing Belo Corp. for interfering with her contract with Baylor Health. The complaint seeks unspecified damages.
A spokesperson for Belo Corp. said she had not seen the complaint and wouldn't comment. We haven't heard back from Baylor Health as of this posting, but we'll update as soon as we do.

Is it o.k. to install solid maple floors over particle board sub flooring if the framing and sub flooring are in good condition?
Is it o.k. to install solid maple floors over particle board sub flooring if the framing and sub flooring are in good condition?
is it particleboard or osb, was there carpet down previously?, if so i would simply go to a slightly longer hardwood staple to ensure holding power
fire up the saw and make some dust
Particleboard is a terrible substrate. It doesn't hold nails very well. If it absolutely has to go over particleboard, you should consider an engineered hardwood that can be glued (or floated, but I hate floating wood floors).
Next best would be divergent point staples - they spread apart some when going in and grip a little better. Whatever fastener you choose, do NOT use something longer than the combined thickness of the hardwood and subfloor. If the nail or staple goes through the subfloor, it won't hold as well and very likely will blow out a chunk of particleboard on the bottom side.
My advice is based on particleboard only. If you are referring to a different product, please say so. If this particleboard is not the actual subfloor, then you have mistaken underlayment for subfloor. Remove the underlayment from the subfloor, especially if it's particleboard underlayment.

Do not underestimate the promise that lies within a good paint job. Whether your second bedroom is in desperate need of a spruce up or you're helping your daughter put her personal stamp on a new room to call her own, paint can provide a relatively cheap, noticeable spark to any space. But in all the fun that is choosing colors, don't skip over one extremely important, but simple, step: Checking to see if the paint is non-toxic. And this becomes especially important if you are helping your kid personalize their room. Your little ones come into contact with some pretty nasty things outside your home, so consider making their personalized space bright, clean and toxin-free!
According to Mother Earth News, "Most conventional paints and coatings contain and emit Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Some types of VOCs contribute to smog, and many VOCs are emitted or 'offgassed' indoors and contribute to indoor air pollution. VOCs can cause respiratory problems and some are known carcinogens." That's a whole lot of yuck. Luckily, some companies are dedicated to creating paints and paint products that are free of most or all dangerous, toxic chemicals. Here are a few we love.
Non-toxic Paint Options
Tom Rioux, Earthpaint founder, knows his stuff. Rioux, "a seasoned expert in paints and plasters," fell ill after exposure from paint toxins.
Earthpaint is free of:
- "Formaldehyde emitting biocides (the standard).
- Toxic Petrochemical Solvents.
- Acrylic Polyurethane's with TEA and N-Methyl Pyrrolidone – very dangerous to fetal development / pregnancy, has low odor in waterborne paint.
- Ethylene Glycol, a sweet tasting poison. Dogs drink it and die. We consider it dangerous. It's in many paints at the big box stores.
- Alkyl phenol ethoxylates (aka APES) – a known problem for human and aquatic life worldwide, found in many colorants.
- Isoaliphatics (mineral spirits in disguise – Isopar is an Exxon brand name for petro-chemical based isoparaffinic solvents).
- Oximes (e.g., methyl ethyl ketoxim) – common anti-skinning agent in oil based paints that is not necessary to make quality products.
The company also sells wood finish, floor finish, wood cleaners and deck stain.
Mythic paint boasts a product that is safe for people, pets and, you guessed it, planet. The premium quality, latex paints are:
- Zero-VOC
- Zero-carcinogenic
"Mythic provides and requires a Zero-VOC colorant system that maintains zero-VOCs and provides bright and beautiful colors."
In February 2010, the New York Times' Stephen Treffinger tested and compared six interior paints with low toxicity levels. The article is quite interesting and a useful read.
Would you rather make your own paint? Mother Earth News has a great, comprehensive article that provides paint recipes.
Paint Projects for Kids' Rooms
Okay. You've painted the base color with one of the above non-toxic paints. Now you're ready to call in the designer (aka your child). The following are some painting ideas for kids' rooms.
If you're a free-spirit kind of mom and really trust your kiddo with paints and brushes, and know the munchkin will actually paint the wall rather than herself, let your kid paint a mural. Sure, it won't be perfect, but it will be unique, and all their own. If your child tires of the design in a few years, just paint over the old project and start anew.
Stencils for kids' rooms
Take some old newspapers and magazines, and have your kid cut out fun designs and shapes. Take the makeshift stencils to the wall and use some non-toxic paint to create a fun, toxin-free design. DecoArt has stencil paint that is non-toxic. So does Delta Creative.

Starry Eyed
Today I am sharing a quilt tutorial with you over at the Moda Bakeshop! It is my first quilt for Moda, and I am so happy to be contributing to their lovely blog. Please head on over, and let me know what you think! I really hope that you like it.
xo, Angela

A really excellent design ... I've already gushed over at the Bakeshop .... but I thought I'd pop in here and say I've just made my first star block with your tute. Thank you!
I've been wanting to make a star block for ages, but just too lazy to get my head round it ... Your instructions are so clear and your photos so inspiring that I had to jump in and make something!Beautiful! Love the pattern and colors! One question, can you provide reference sizes for the completed blocks (the 10 star blocks and 10 other blocks)? This helps me do my sanity check to see if I've pieced and measured right. Are they 15.5" squares? Just thought I'd check in. Thanks again! Can't wait to do the pattern!

French (Bread) Revolution
Photo: French baker Jean-Louis Hecht at his baguette dispenser in Paris, by Michel Euler/AP, via Guardian.co.uk
9 comments:
I like anything new and creative, particularly if it solves a need. Of course nothing compares to hot, crusty baguettes, right out of the boulanger's oven! Plus, in the bakery you get the news, see your neighbors, support the community, etc. Meanwhile, it's interesting that the inventor of the machine, Jean-Louis Hecht, is a bread baker himself. I wonder what the other bread bakers in Paris have to say about this! I think he is very brave!
ReplyDeleteGREAT! There were times (and suppose will be again in the future) when I needed bread earlier than the shops & boulangeries were open.
Hoping these 24-hour baguette dispensers will be everywhere soon!

LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kovshanovaolgaThese machines are not new: my local petrol station has a sort of primitive version which the staff feed from plastic bags every few hours or so. The problem is that the bread, although agreeably warm and crisp when it comes out of the machine, quickly becomes dry and chewy if not eaten at once.
ReplyDeletei hope that my comment doesn't come too late.
i personally think that's very interesting and practical, but we must see now the bread's quality.
i looked for Jean-Louis Hecht's baguette dispenser's address in Paris 19th and don't find it (either in the GUARDIAN's article or in the PAGES JAUNES).
do you know, julie, his bakery's name?

So we go from windows open 68 degree to heat back on and 29 degrees. Good ole Kentucky weather. Staying in and staying warm today. I think I will bake to further warm up the house with the oven.:) I might pull the cast iron skillet out and make some pineapple upside down cake.
Sybil, HAARP could be part of the global warming effect. I hadn't really thought of that. We know they use it for various things. Like with the chemtrails. Did you see the newsclip of RFK Jr talking about John Kennedy's death caused by more than one killer. That is one conspiracy I have always pretty much agreed with. It is just too farfetched. I think the CIA/mob or both had him killed.
Hi Teddy, lala and the rest of the regular threaders. Where is Hempburn?
You all have a great chilly day. Stay warm.
Where IS Hempburn? Does anybody have his e-mail to check to see if he's O.K.?
Hey, watch out with the bashing of those political sites, Abeliever. I visit them from time to time. LOL Now my secret is out.
Liked the enenews.com site that you posted the other day. It's got some good (but short) articles.

Enjoy the site and be sure to check back often for all the latest news on Melinda Doolittle and all the hottest American Idol news and updates! As always, take some time to see what's new at Melinda Doolittle Club.
Now that all the season six hoopla is far behind us, and a brand new season of American Idol season 8 has begun, we're going to be revamping our Melinda Doolittle Fan Club home to cover all the latest and greatest in the life of Melinda Doolittle. We were all incredibly shocked when Melinda was voted off of American Idol Season Six. Yes, it was another disappointing season where clearly the best did not win.
VISIT OUR NEW MELINDA DOOLITTLE CLUB STORE! Purchase all your favorite Melinda and other American Idol Music right here!
American Idol Season 8 Final Three. Who was your pick? We loved Adam Lambert to win it all, and while he did not win, we are confident he will have a long, successful career! Good luck to both Kris Allen and Adam Lambert in the future!
But for those of us who have watched and enjoyed Melinda, we feel it's a very safe bet that Melinda should and will go on to enjoy the most lucrative and rewarding career of all the idol competitors from season six. Support for Melinda has been absolutely incredible as we received thousands upon thousands of support Melinda Doolittle write-ins. Keep em coming! We love what you have to say and we will continue to post your comments, feelings and lingering reactions to this past Idol competition. As we work to modify our site to cover the post-Idol era of Melinda Doolittle, please enjoy the Melinda Doolittle Club website and our coverage of the last season!
Who is the best Idol of all time?
Thank you for your vote. Check back soon for vote results! Be sure to join the Melinda Doolittle Fan Club! It's Free! Get David Archuleta's CD today!
Obviously, American Idol surprises just don't cease to amaze us any longer. Since the far-too-early elimination of Melinda Doolittle, there is really nothing that can shock us any more. Adam Lambert was far better and will go on to have one of the most illustrious careers of any Idol alum, but the declaration of Kris Allen as this past season's winner was again....another shock. We like him a lot, but just feel that Adam was better.
Michael Johns was perhaps the only "shocking" exit of the 7th American Idol season, however for us, nothing will ever be as surprising as Melinda Doolittle's early departure from Idol more than one year ago. Nevertheless, Idol season 7 is over and.....
Here is Melinda Doolittle's first CD single, My Funny Valentine. Use the link on the left to order your Melinda Doolittle CD today!
Melinda Fan Comments
Read our comments
Turn on your television and all idol reports will focus on two great talents. Melinda Doolittle and Lakisha Jones. It seems that Melinda Doolittle's name gets first mention on every news program that reports on American Idol. Every season, we all seem to have our favorites, but how can anyone overlook Melinda Doolittle as a standout and heavy favorite? Melinda can sing! Her vocal range is amazing, her voice powerful, her stage presence full of confidence and self-assuredness. Even Simon Cowell loves her and that is saying a lot. Like him or not, Simon Cowell is often the driving force behind who stays, who goes home, and who goes on to fame and fortune. He rode Carrie Underwood all the way to the bank two years ago, pinning Carrie as a favorite from audition day through to the end. He was right all along and today, the success Carrie has achieved is amazing. He was partial to Chris Daughtry in last year's competition, and he was right again. It was the fans who got it VERY wrong in season five, and Daughtry's early and quick success proves both the insight and persuasion of Simon Cowell and his words from week to week. For now, we'll let the whole Jennifer Hudson fiasco go ignored. Simon didn't think Jennifer had what it took to remain in the competition, and look at her now. 'Nuff said.
Perhaps the trait that makes Melinda Doolittle so unique among the American Idol finalists, past and present, is her modesty. Melinda Doolittle is genuine. She sings. She wows us time after time. She cries when she advances to the next round as if she is truly surprised. The beauty of this, SHE IS! We're not surprised at all as Melinda Doolittle advances through rounds of the world's most popular singing competition on a weekly basis.

Like activites, tours do not vary much from place to place around the Osa, and most involve nature hikes or boating. Depending on what you're after, you can find tours from $35 (i.e. kayaking, horseback riding, surfing) into the $100 range (i.e. Corcovado, scuba diving, whale watching). Sport fishing tours are more expensive and start, if you're lucky, in the $200 range. Prices typically do not change from high to low season, and there is usually a minimum of two or four people to take a tour. It is easier to find people for sharing tours in high season, so you may want to take that under consideration if you are traveling with a small group.

Expressing yourself is the pathway to healing.
Those were the words of Lester Friedman, PhD, a humanities professor whose career has been at schools of medicine.
Yesterday I posted a blog titled, Surfing the Blogs. It was about people in our community who write and the benefits they get and give. That blog reminded me of an amazing keynote presentation by Dr. Friedman at our 2004 Conference in Minneapolis.
It was one of the first that we filmed and today I asked our staff to put it up on YouTube. Writing for Your Health speaks of stories as medicine, offering wisdom and statistics you do not want to miss...

hmm so considering the subject as "we" ("on" as in je + vous + tu) the verb would be "joue", and as "they" ("ils" as in ce je + ce vous + ce tu) would be "jouent"... i think it's "jouent", then? both are plural anyway, which kinda answers my question because at first i thought that maybe "joue" referred only to "ce tu", which wouldn't make a lot of sense, i suppose.
GOD i may be sounding so annoying. i'm sorry, i just have this thing with languages that i always want to understand not only the meaning but the structure it's nothing important, really. that's weird! maybe you can listen to it in this other video.

For the ones who are keeping up with my Chili Cooking Career, here are the weekend results.
Saturday our team won 2nd in show. For our chili, I made final table and another team member won 8th.
Sunday our team won 1st in show and I made final final table again.
Okay, I want to get something off my chest about competing for show. At every cook off we set up a big area with all kinds of Texas props. We also interact with the crowd and have a good time. This is our second month cooking competitively and we are getting better and better every time.
I am not a sore looser by any means as long as I loose legitimately. First place show on Saturday set up one table, one cooker and that was it. Then he stuck his hand in a puppet monkey and walked around touching all the women. That won him first. If his booth would have been decked out like a jungle and if he had a Tarzan outfit on then I would have said he deserved the prize. If this is the case, then I don't need to haul around two truck loads of crap and spend hours setting up and taking down. All I have to do it stick my hand up a monkeys butt and be a perv.
I promised my team mates I would have a filter this weekend due to the fact I pist off over a dozen folks at the last cook off. I did just that, I was muzzled like an animal. But when they called out the first place winner of show, the muzzle was off. I don't know how many I offended.
Sunday I was a smart ass. I took a little scarecrow we had as a prop, ripped his butt open and shoved my hand inside and walked around with it. People were laughing because they knew what I was doing. After we won show Sunday a lady walked up to me and said, "See there, you just needed to find something to stick your hand up it's butt to win."
That's all I got to say about that.
Our next cook off will be December 1st in Irving Texas.

"Transitional fossils (popularly termed missing links) are the fossilized remains of intermediary forms of life that illustrate an evolutionary transition."
"An organism with features that it holds in common with organisms presumed to be its ancestor and descendant but that neither of these hold in common."
"Evolution predicts that there should be a great many fossils of transitional forms, intermediate between ancestors and descendents."
"A transitional form is a living or fossilized organism that is believed to be an evolutionary link between two distinct groups (also referred to as intermediates or missing links)."
"A transitional form is a fossil or living organism that is intermediate between two other organism in an evolutionary sequence. A transitional form that has not yet been found is colloquially called a 'missing link'."
To say "We are all transitional forms" is to move the goalposts, because you can't win the game. You redefine "transitional forms" because you have no evidence upon which you so blindly place your faith. Judgment Day will reveal the tragedy of this misplaced trust. Please, set aside your presuppositions, and listen to the claims of the gospel. Your eternity is at stake.

first off a must say that you are the first person that i have ever seen on the forum that is 10 days or older than me besides justinguy. now what i absoulutely HATE is when people use mods. a few weeks ago when smp8 just opened to the public, i saw a 1 day old noob using flymod on my arches! (i have half-circles on my lot, i did indeed break minecraft.) there is only 1 way up, and that is through parkour. its not very hard, but only 1 person can do it at a time. also at the time there was only 1 way to get up. next thing i know he was infront of me. awestruck i fell off and asked how he got up there. he pmed me and said flymod lol. i did think of it at the time as he had complained of being laggy, i just assumed that he meant mod as in glitch and "flew" up there with block lag. then it sunk in 5 minutes later, but he had already left, and his name had evaded me. no mods where on, so there was no way for any authority to hear his little crime. i have yet to see him again. i did the /p command on his name before he was presumabley banned (i do this a lot just to learn a bit about people) and he had joined that very day.another tale from smp8 is when 2 friends (not sure if IRL or just in game, they seemed pretty close) had jsut joinec. they where literally screaming at the top of their lungs to go to their shop or else they would be banned. then they proceeded to stop using caps as others complained. they started following me asking me to buy stuff. i tried working on my arches (those darn arches broke the physics of minecraft!) but everytime i would get near a ledge they would ask me a random question (how long have you been on EMC? or may i borrow a few rups?) they would push me off as i was typing my reply. eventually i did the /res pset noob-derp move false. i watched and watched as they tried going onto my lot and failing. it was a bit humerous to see them falling from the sky limit as they where kicked from my lot. then they bombarded me with questions. i did the /ignore noob-derp (that actually is not the player's name) and it stopped. then they went to normal chat i think as others where telling them to shut up. they still come to my lot every now and then. and finally is when i saw a player, spamming me ( who thought i was the admin as well lol) why they couldnt use their x-ray texture pack. "its harmless its just for chests diamond and coal lol" they didnt even grasp the basics of griefing and fair play. then they proceeded to use another x-ray that their friend made (as he said) to locate and find ALL of my hidden chests in my lot. this was before the /report player days so i had to ignore it.why do people cheat? its so annoying! why do people stalk? its so annoying!i lied. now finally i must say that before i joined (i was always a supporter) i read every part of the guide before joining. now maybe there was no tutorial at the time, but i spawned on the roof of the wild spawn. i went to town and tried getting a lot (it was only smp1 at the time). they where all taken, so me, having never used chat yet, excluded myself to the utopia wild, where i had a magnificent man-made island for me. i miss you 1.8.1. thosae where the good days for minecraft i think.
yeah like that one time smp5 went on a huge riot (riot=CAPS CAPS AND MORE CAPS) and there were no mods on so i made that post and MODS SAVED THE DAY!!!!!
It's funny, 'cause almost no one knows about square. Then someone will start spamming, thinking they're safe, and get kicked. Then everyone (save a few, like me) will start screaming "OMG THE ADMINS IS IVNSIBLE HIDE YO WIFE HIDE YO KIDS" because they don't know about square. It's quite funny, actually. I let them believe in invisible mods, because, you never know, maybe they won't break the rules if they know they can't see the mods, even if they aren't on.It's also funny when reboot broadcasts come up, and then people start screaming about the end of the world being near....
Well, I'm glad I could help. Someone on smp2 actually built an obsidian bunker so we could all "save ourselves from impending doom"
It's funny, someone earlier today said "Can I have some money I only have 10 r." Then five seconds later they say "Oh wait I just spent it, now I have none! Donate plz." To those who beg I say "Wait a day, then you will have 100+"
Couldnt agree more! I've considered putting a donations chest in my shop like other well respected shops have, but idk... why not just buy some stuff, right? Besides, I can only see needing donations if I had a MASSIVE project that needed and INSANE amount of materials, like 300,000 logs/stone/etc. I dont have a project that big right now, so someone giving me a donation doesnt really make sense.I'll say it again, everything (%99.9 anyways) you can buy with rupees you can acquire youself in the wild with ZERO rupees. EMC is a survival and predominately vanilla server, its set up to support you going out and collecting and then building whatever. ppl need to stop thinking its a creative server where you just buy your entire inventory and then build on you empty res. Go out and do it yourself, thats what makes MC FUN!
I also find it funny that iv seen a few players who I would talk to and they would tell me how they haven't even played single player before. And the ones I talk to and state that are the ones who ask stuff like "how do you build a door" or something like that. I know minecraft (at least not yet but I heard there is a tutorial with the demo coming in 1.3) doesn't tell you how to do stuff but well thats kinda how its made you learn by doing and stuff. And if you get stumped you can always google it (like iv heard people who get questions about stuff state "google it") to find the answer and usually tend to stumble upon the minecraft wiki which basically shows you every thing you can craft.With me I started single player in 1.8 and learned to build a lot of stuff myself through trial and error and if I ever got stuck I googled how to build a certian thing and found minecraft wiki right at the top of the page whenever I put stuff like "minecraft piston" or something like that.And like I hear pretty much every week when I have my store open. "why don't you sell pistons" "why don't you sell doors" or stuff like that. And I answer them.. "why should I waste space in a shop to sell something you can easily build yourself with a crafting table (thats free to use outside my shop mind you) and just buy the materials needed to build it yourself instead of being lazy and wanting me to waste space and sell something like a piston for slightly more since I had to waste my time building it for your lazy self?"Thats kinda why my shop doesn't sell everything possible. I am not going to waste my time building all the items people need and waste more space to build an even bigger ugly shop to sell things just cause people are lazy. I sell logs and even wood planks (even though logs should be enough) and if they want a door they can buy some wood planks and make one them self instead of me building it and sell it slightly more then the cost of planks since I had to take the time to build it myself and waste space in my shop for it.
im not to pro with remembering with the rules but i stick by them if i forget i remeber so tht good and not sure if advertising my store is bad i cant remember soz
i heard that the iron supporter only got about 9k of all his money from supporting for three months. apparently he mainly uses it to hide from the live map.
I'm having a look for servers running it, though same as you I've got a truckload of games waiting to be defeated. Just reinstalled XCom UFO. That'll lose a good chunk of my life.If you find one, give me a shout if you want to team up.
See what I did with this is tell them that I will NEVER allow them or anyone else that I couldn't trust my life (MC life) withTo have flags when I am not online in the same res
I fell for you, bro. The area of smp1 where I live used to be flat land for miles across. Now I get at least 5 different neighbors each month on each side of my res. Some build really cool things, but others build random crap like dirt structures. One guy even made a bunch of swastikas out of dirt! And about the mods, I had an extremely well hidden chest before the Locking was added, and some noob dug straight to it and destroyed it! I really honestly miss the old days of the Empire, especially the Mob Arenas that everyone says we never had.

I'd best describe this as a Barbie pink. It's really bright, but not hot pink bright--kind of the like the bright pink of Pepto Bismol. You can wear this alone for a more natural look or over Viva Glam Nicki Lipstick for realllly bright lips. Aside from the stickiness (but this apples to all MAC Lipglasses), this has to be one of my favorite pink lip glosses.

When you think Queen, what's the first thought that comes to mind? (Well, apart from Freddy's teeth and those ghastly costumes?)
For most people, it's the hit "Bohemian Rhapsody", which won an Ivor Novello award for Best Song of the Decade in London last week.
The Ivors are presented each year by the British Academy of Composers & Songwriters in association with The Performing Rights Society (PRS) to acknowledge and honor Britain's best songwriters.
Queen picked up two Ivors: one for Outstanding Song Collection, and the other for "Bohemian Rhapsody," voted Song of the Decade 1975-1984 by the public through BBC Radio 2, the UK's most listened to radio station.
Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor accepted the award.
Other songs nominated were "Every Breath You Take" by The Police, "Imagine" by John Lennon, "London Calling" by The Clash and "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division.

Baidu sued for censoring search results in the U.S.
- 5
Reuters reports that Baidu, China's biggest search engine, has been sued by New York residents who accused the company of "conspiring with the country's government" to censor their pro-democracy speech, even when searches originated inside the U.S.
According to the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Baidu acts as an "enforcer" of policies by the ruling Communist Party in censoring pro-democracy writings and videos to the extent that they do not appear in search results even when made within the country, which violates laws in the US Constitution.
"This event was off the charts"
Gary Vaynerchuk was so impressed with TNW Conference 2016 he paused mid-talk to applaud us.
Stephen Preziosi, the lawyer for the plaintiffs, said the alleged censorship violates federal and New York civil rights laws, as well as New York's human rights law, on the grounds that "an Internet search engine is a public accommodation, just like a hotel or restaurant."
The lawsuit seeks $16 million in damages, or $2 million per plaintiff, but does not seek changes to Baidu's policies.
It's not kept secret that the Chinese government is responsible for censoring search results for terms that are deemed sensitive. To comply, search engines such as Baidu voluntarily filter searches, which is one of the reasons why it dominated over Google in China.
China's Internet censorship practices are viewed as reflecting its belief that keeping a tight grip on information helps the government maintain control. The country recently established the State Internet Information Office, the government agency assigned to collaborate with different organizations for the supervision and filtering of the Internet in China.
Meanwhile, the United States is still pushing with an intervention that promotes Internet freedom by throwing millions of dollars into new technology to break through Internet censorship overseas, including evading the infamous Internet controls in China.

Many years ago, Rupert Murdoch was not an Establishment figure.
Click here to upload graphic: The Murdoch Establishment (304.28kb)
The Establishment was the Conservative Party, the House of Lords, the Church of England, the civil service, the top military brass, prominent industrialists and heads of the nationalised industries. It was not necessary to be a millionaire to belong, but it was almost obligatory to conform to the social rules learned at the best public schools.
But after Rupert Murdoch had been allowed to buy the News of the World from Sir William Carr, in 1969 – because an Australian was judged preferable to the rival bidder, Robert Maxwell, a Czech Jew – the Establishment found it had given house room to someone who did not conform. He did not hanker after an invitation to Buckingham Palace or a seat in the House, nor even British citizenship. The News of the World's new boss let the establishment know what he thought of its sensibilities by buying the memoirs of the prostitute Christine Keeler, who had been at the centre of the Profumo affair. The Establishment saw Jack Profumo as one of its own and thought it wrong he should be humiliated by the revival of a six-year-old scandal. The reason Murdoch was allowed to buy The Sun was that it was a loss- making paper overshadowed by the more robust Daily Mirror. No one foresaw how Murdoch would turn an ailing tabloid into Britain's best selling daily, and a source of ready cash for further expansion.
Then came the rise of Margaret Thatcher, herself something of an outsider. After Murdoch had used his newspapers to help her to victory, she rewarded him by allowing him to buy The Times and Sunday Times, and backed him as he smashed the print unions. It was the start of a 30-year reign during which Rupert Murdoch enjoyed the reputation of a modern Warwick the Kingmaker. No political party has won a general election from 1979 onwards without the backing of the Murdoch press. After the Tories' unexpected victory in 1992, The Sun crowed: "It was The Sun wot won it."
That may not actually be true. It is possible that instead of creating the winners, what Murdoch did was shrewdly back whoever was going to win anyway. But the point was that politicians from Tony Blair to David Cameron believed Murdoch had the power to make or break them.
This gave the Australian/American mogul a power no one in the old Establishment had ever wielded. He could summon prime ministers to hear his views on matters of state or to add prestige to his guest list on social occasions, such as the nuptials of his court favourite Rebekah Brooks.
Lance Price, who worked in Downing Street during the Tony Blair years, has written that Murdoch "seemed like the 24th member of the cabinet. His voice was rarely heard ... but his presence was always felt." There is no doubt his influence was equally great during the first year of David Cameron's government.
Out of this limitless influence came the hubris. A few acolytes in a corner of the Murdoch empire apparently thought the law could not touch them, and embarked on a course of action which destroyed the News of the World. Suddenly, political leaders have found the courage to criticise the vast conglomerate which had previously held them in thrall.
The Murdoch clan are no longer at the heart of the establishment. It is difficult to see how they ever will be again.

Youthful exuberance was on full display during Hansraj College's annual festival, Confluence, which took place on February 15 and 16. The fest saw many enthusiastic Delhi University students, who came from different colleges to the venue. A variety of competitions and performances were lined up during these two days.
The street play competition saw acts highlighting the issues of social evils such as corruption, communalism, gender harassment and more. Another interesting event was the mock IPL bidding that saw students bidding for the best team under a given budget. Although the rains did play spoilsport and a couple of events were cancelled, the crowd didn't seem to lose hope, as DJ Barkha Kaul made them groove to some rocking numbers.
The festival concluded with a power-packed performance by the UK-based Punjabi band, RDB (Rhythm, Dhol, Bass). The group got the crowd on its toes, as they belted out their hits, which included songs like Saddi Gali, Aloo Chat, Paisa Paisa etc.
Here's who won
1. Contours (Choreography competition) — Kirori Mal College
2. Naach (Western dance competition) — First prize: Verve (Venkateswara College) and Zeal (Maitreyi College), Second Prize: Zenith (Daulat Ram College), Third Prize: Afroza (Indraprastha College for Women)

About the School Resource Officers…
Having the opportunity to work closely with students and staff is one of the biggest benefits of the program. With students, it gives the SRO an opportunity to meet with an individual student or small group to discuss student's law related concerns relative to home, school or community. Monitor individual student's behavior and academic progress. Mentor students and facilitate groups of students discussing youth issues such as drugs, alcohol or violence.
With the school administration, SRO's serve on school-district wide committees, assist with program planning and help develop policy in regards to school safety. Officers also serve on Building Consultation Team to develop strategies to assist students. They can also serve as a resource to administrators and teachers for law related questions and instruct at teacher in-service.
The school resource officers (SRO) have numerous responsibilities, with the most important assignment being school safety. On a daily basis SRO's patrol the school grounds and building, especially during lunch hour and before and after school. They handle any disturbances that occur involving disruptive or violent students. Deter loitering on school grounds, suppress gang activity, investigate suspected illegal drug activity, and provide emergency medical service for the ill or injured. Officers will also work extra-curricular activities, (ex. dances, sporting events) to monitor student behavior. Also, deter smoking violations on campus or in surrounding neighborhoods. SRO's will also work with the school administration in the exercise of school discipline to maintain a safe school environment.
School Resource Officer's also take a proactive approach by teaching prevention to students and staff. This includes class presentations to deter delinquent behavior, organize special youth programming, and work with local businesses directly effected by school day operations to minimize student disruption. These officers will also give presentations to local civic groups and parent-teachers organizations about youth-related issues.

Amsterdam, with its rings of canals and many historic monuments, is arguably one of the most picturesque cities in the world. I've listed below eight beautiful spots in Amsterdam for visitors and photography enthusiasts. The city centre is very compact, making it very easy to explore by foot.
1. The Amstel River
There are many photo opportunities along the banks of the Amstel river, both in the city centre and south of Amsterdam (outside the city limits). In the city centre, one of my favourite spots is on the Blauwbrug (Blue Bridge) near the City Hall. Both sides of the bridge offer beautiful views – the northern side has views of the City Hall and some of the beautiful historic houses which line the Binnen Amstel; while the southern side offers a sweeping view of the river, the Hermitage and the Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge), Amsterdam's most famous bridge. You can also opt for the Hoge Brug (Sarphatistraat) from which you can capture views of the river, the Amsterdam sluice gates, the Magere Brug, and the Zuiderkerk (Southern church) tower in the background.
2. Groenburgwal
One of the most picture perfect spots in Amsterdam. Walk along the Staalstraat (between the City hall and the Kloverniersburgwal) and you'll cross a drawbridge over the Groenburgwal canal. Stop on the bridge and capture the serenity of the tree-lined canal against the backdrop of the Zuiderkerk (Southern church).
3. Begijnhof
One of the oldest inner courts in Amsterdam, the beguinage (convent) is a very special place where silence is required (if you really have to talk, whisper!). The Begijnhof is located in the heart of the city, just off the hustle and bustle of the Kalverstraat (main shopping street). Once you enter the inner court, you will be struck by the beauty and tranquility of this place. Many photo opportunities here.
4. The Jordaan neighbourhood
One of my favourite neighbourhoods in Amsterdam, the Jordaan boasts a multitude of interesting shops, art galleries, markets, restaurants and national monuments, amongst which the Anne Frank House. Stand on the Berenstraat bridge that crosses the Prinsengracht (canal) for a lovely view of the canal and the Westerkerk (Western church) which has Amsterdam's highest church tower – is the church tower leaning? The tower is topped by the crown of Maximilian I of Hapsburg, the Holy Roman Emperor in the 16th century. Another good spot for a picture of the Westerkerk is at the Eerste Leliedwarsstraat (where the street ends at the Bloemgracht, a charming canal).
Another picturesque location is the area where the three ring canals (Heren-, Keizers- and Prinsengracht) meet the Brouwersgracht.
5. Keizersgracht
My favorite spot on this canal, especially in the evenings when the arcs of the bridges are lit, is the intersection of the Keizersgracht and the Leidsegracht. Stand on the bridge that crosses the Leidsegracht (on the 'Pastini' side) and you have several striking photo opportunities, for instance, the two bridges and the monumental houses facing the Keizersgracht (the scene on some postcards), or the length of the Leidsegracht with church spires in the background.
6. Seven Bridges, Reguliersgracht
Join a canal cruise for a photo opportunity of this gorgeous scene because you can only see the seven bridges that cross the Reguliersgracht from a boat. The best place to capture this scene is at the intersection of the Herengracht / Thorbeckeplein and the Reguliersgracht.
7. Nieuwmarkt and surroundings
This neighbourhood is definitely one of the most intriguing in Amsterdam. There's the Waag (the medieval weighing house; a mini-castle-like building), the Wallen (red-light district), the Zeedijk (the heart of Chinatown), and a myriad of restaurants and bars, including several microbreweries. The Waag is definitely worth a few snapshots.
If you're venturing into the red light districht, do not take pictures of the women in the windows (or risk getting a good yelling at)! A good spot to capture the neon scenes of the district is from the Stoofsteeg bridge that crosses the narrow Ouderzijds Achterburgwal canal. Walk along this street to the next canal, the Oudezijds Voorburgwal. From the bridge that crosses this canal, you'll have a gorgeous view of the Oude Kerk (Old church) and the Sint Nicolaas Kerk (St. Nicholas church).
8. Dam Square
The heart of the historic city centre, the Dam Square houses the Royal Palace, the Nieuwe Kerk and the National Monument. Don't miss the tour of the Royal Palace – the interior is stunning! The central hall is especially breathtaking.
Behind the Royal Palace is one of my favourite buildings in Amsterdam, the Magna Plaza. It used to be the General Post Office and is now a (very unique) shopping mall. In neo-Gothic style, the building boasts striking towers, arches, the odd gargoyle and some magnificent spires. The interior is dominated by the dazzling central hall with its rows of arches and columns. Don't miss this wonderful photo opportunity.

Inhotim Centro de Arte Contemporânea -
€ 500,000 -
558.0 sqm -
Project Year
2008 -
From the architect. Inhotim Centro de Arte Contemporânea is located in Brumadinho, a village near Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais state. A personal initiative of the mining industry businessman Bernardo Paz, the museum has an unusual architectural concept. Instead of sum up all its installations into a unique building, it is composed of many pavilions spread out in a park of approximately 35 hectares.
The Adriana Varejão Gallery was commissioned to shelter two works of the artist acquired by the museum and exhibited at Cartier Foundation: the sculpture Linda do Rosário and the polyptych Celacanto Provoca Maremoto (with the further development of the project, the artist created another four works for the building). The project should occupy a hillside with a small slope (typical of the topography of Minas Gerais, composed of old and smooth hills) partially surrounded by the native forest, an area formerly used to store containers. The original topography was modified for this new use: a huge displacement of earth has cut it, creating the great horizontal plane necessary to the storage.
The orientation of the project aimed to recompose the site's original topography and inserting on it an artificial element: a regular block in reinforced concrete (prestressed wasn't necessary), partially inserted in the hillside. The building structure is composed by an irregular retaining wall that gains the space in the ground floor and receives the loads of the block, in its deepest part, trough two beams, in the middle, trough 4 columns integrated in the wall.
The building was also conceived as a spiral path that connects two different levels of the park, alternating moments of contraction/passage and expansion/exhibition: from the ground floor, (1, contraction) in the middle of the water pound, in a narrow promenade, away from the building; (2 expansion: Varejão's piece Panacea Phantastica, a tile bench with drawings of hallucinatory plants) The small square plaza of the groundfloor; (3 contraction) The promenade turns to the building; (4 expansion: the sculpture Linda do Rosário and the paiting The Collector) the ground floor, inside the hill, below the concrete block; (5 contraction) The stairs; (6 expansion, the polyptych Celacanto provoca maremoto) The first pavement, inside the concrete block; (7 contraction) The ramp; (8 expansion: another tile bench, now with drawings of birds, Passarinhos-from Inhotim to Demini) The terrace, above the concrete block; (9 contraction) The bridge. And vice versa.

Task automation tool IFTTT gets new look, moves into physical world with Belkin WeMo compatibility
- 0
IFTTT, the automation tool that hooks various web services together to help you accomplish tasks has a new logo, a new look and some nice improvements to the service. In a blog post announcing the new stuff, IFTTT explains all of the changes including the 'bold new look' and representative logo.
IFTTT is also announcing its first bit of hardware compatibility through the Belkin WeMo devices. With the WeMo Switch and WeMo Motion channels, you can add actions that affect physical devices like lights or electronics.
"This event was off the charts"
Gary Vaynerchuk was so impressed with TNW Conference 2016 he paused mid-talk to applaud us.
The new logo is designed to reflect combining basic web services together with triggers to create powerful recipes. The Recipes term replaces tasks as the primary term for all of the actions, like automatically uploading your Instagram shots to Dropbox, for instance.
You can now use 'Add-ins', now called Ingredients, to make your Recipes more powerful. The new Quick Triggers are really just standard Recipes but that work instantaneously, as soon as they receive data. This data can come from channels like Email, SMS, phone, Google Talk and the new Belkin WeMo Channels. This should help to eliminate a lot of the delay when waiting for some Recipes to work.
IFTTT says that this redesign is the beginning of improvements to the service that will roll out in the coming months. Lets hope that apps for iOS and other phones are a part of that, as we've already seen that IFTTT is hiring on engineers for mobile.
