minilogue's newly developed analogue synthesizer circuit delivers polyphony and full programmability at a great price - exactly what today's musician needs. With the minilogue, you can get your hands on the powerful sound that's only possible with real analogue circuitry, and find inspiration with features including a polyphonic step and motion sequencer, on board tape-style delay, multiple sound shaping and filter options, and an oscilloscope display. All of these seamlessly integrated features make minilogue as fun and easy to use as it is powerful. It's the next-generation analogue synthesizer for musicians of all types.
True Analogue Sound
The synth circuits for minilogue are all new ground up designs, delivering a synthesizer experience like no other. Unprecedented in this class, it's a four-voice polyphonic true-analogue synth with an interface that's designed for accessibility. Whether you're performing live or producing in the studio, the minilogue is the fastest way for the user to explore and implement real analogue synthesis in any situation.
The structure consists of 2VCO, 1VCF, 2EG, 1VCA, and 1LFO. The minilogue's unique wave shape capability lets you fine tune the oscillators' harmonics, creating the most divine sounds and compositions. The minilogue is also equipped with a variety of powerful types of modulation including cross modulation, oscillator sync, and ring modulator, as well as a delay with a high-pass filter. Powerful sound creation and rich variety are the true hallmarks of an analogue synthesizer.
Polyphony and Presets – Perfect
minilogue goes beyond analogue synths in its price range by adding 200 preset locations. Select a program for instant access to great sounds - ranging from thick basses to deep pads to brilliant polyphonic leads and atmospheric sounds. No need to have deep synthesis knowledge: just choose a sound and tweak - a workflow that is very familiar with musicians today. For those who want to dive deeper into the heart and soul of minilogue's engine, the minilogue hold 200 programs with 100 editable factory programs included, and 100 locations serving as blank canvases on which to create your next analogue masterpiece. Each preset can also hold a step sequence and delay settings along with the sounds you create.
Voice Modes
Selectable voice modes let you freely configure the four voices for performance. The voices can be set to four note polyphony for chords or layered for thick basses and leads. Other modes cover a range of sounds from octave shifted bass explosions to delicately staggered layered triggering.
Eight Voice Modes
- POLY ... operates as a four-voice polyphonic synthesizer
- DUO ... operates as a unison two-voice polyphonic synthesizer
- UNISON ... operates as an all-unison mono synthesizer
- MONO ... operates as a mono synth with sub-oscillator
- CHORD ... produces chords
- DELAY ... voices 2--4 sound consecutively at a delay following voice 1
- ARP ... an arpeggiator operates with up to four voices
- SIDE CHAIN ... when a note sounds, the volume of the preceding voice is lowered
16-Step Sequencer
Get creative with the intuitive 16-step sequencer with motion sequence recording capabilities, and make your sound truly come to life. The minilogue provides real-time recording with overdubbing, and step recording that lets you record simply by consecutively specifying notes, giving you a great way to create phrases and performances.
Oscilloscope Visualises The Sound
The OLED display will show the waveform as you sculpt your sound. Visual feedback is both educational and entertaining, and represents a first on a hardware synthesizer.
Build Quality
The uniquely curved, sand-blasted 2mm aluminium front panel, metal shaft potentiometers, solid, chassis- mounted metal shaft potentiometers and rubber-coated knobs give the roadworthy minilogue a standout look and feel to complement its powerful and dynamic sound creation capabilities.
Sync With Groove Machines
In addition to the standard MIDI connectors, the minilogue provides a sync connector that can be easily connected to Korg's groove machines. Connect this to a volca series unit, an electribe, or the SQ-1, and experience a session with synchronised sequencer playback.

Other Facts:

Despite several claims by the administration and the police about no restrictions on the city roads and major tourist spots, tourists were a harried lot on Saturday as they were denied entry to the Capitol Complex, Sector 1, and Government College and Arts Museum, Sector 10. The area around the museum, the Capitol Complex and the Rock Garden were converted into a fortress with several companies of armed forces guarding all areas.
A visit to the Capitol Complex revealed the tourists were not allowed entry inside the complex and the open hand monument after 2pm. A tourist, Varun Jain, who had booked an online ticket to visit the Capitol Complex, had come all the way from Delhi, but he was not allowed go inside.
"We understand there are security issues but the local administration should have cancelled the online bookings and should have informed us in advance. Keeping in mind the French President's visit, the passes should not have been issued for January 23," said Varun, adding he was denied entry at the Sector-10 museum also.
Similarly, a group of tourists from Spain were allowed see the open hand monument, but not the secretariat and the assembly building, citing that tourists were not allowed to see these buildings during weekends. A group of other foreign tourists was also not allowed to visit the part of the museum where the French President is scheduled to pay visit; they were instead told to visit environment museum, situated at the end of the building. Sources say the tourists were not denied entry at the Rock Garden. The officials also claim there was no restriction on the entry, and more than 54 visitors visited the Sector-10 museum. There were reports that a group of Delhi University students was not allowed to go inside the museum, following which UT adviser Vijay Dev asked home secretary Anurag Agarwal to look into the matter.
Agarwal said 32 domestic and 22 foreign tourists visited the museum and no one was denied the entry. The museum director was told to give a report on the issue.
Punjabi, Haryanvi folk dances
During the French President's visit, Punjabi and Haryanvi folk dances will be presented by artistes during a programme to be held by the BJP outside Hotel Taj. The party workers will also raise welcome slogans for the two leaders at the airport lightpoint, the transport lightpoint, the Sector 26 Grain Market, Sector 7-19 and 26-27 roundabouts.

Do I have a lazy eyelid or eye? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Thank you for sharing your concerns. You require comprehensive evaluation by an Oculoplastic Surgeon who can determine the issues with your vision and eyelids. Just looking at your photo cannot help understand the underlying problem. Good luck,
Web reference: http://www.CosmeticEyelids.com
Thank you for your question. It is difficult to thoroughly answer your question based on the picture provided. The only noticeable, and acceptable, finding is a slightly lower right upper eyelid versus the left upper eyelid. If by "lazy eye" you are referring to misalignment of the eyes or drifting of the eyes, then a consultation with an eye care specialist would be required.

Hmm .. I wonder how the ginger tastes in the water? The lemons and cucumbers sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog!! I am heading out today to buy the ingredients for this drink. Excited to try it. I mainly drink water all the time. Why not make it even healthier for me. : )
I would love it if you dropped by and checked out my blog as well.
Thanks and have a great day! Julie from Stlavonlady Beauty Tips and Tricks, Savings & More!
This works great, I used it when I read the flat belly diet! It's an awesome book
ReplyDeleteGinger is hot/spicy...very nice. Mint is available all over...get fresh mint, it is sooooooo wonderful and very easy to grow!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of mint. Is it ok if I omit the mint? Also, would ground ginger work just as well as fresh?
ReplyDeleteThis is really good but I have found that it tastes WAY better when you peel the cucumber and just squeeze the lemon juice into the water. It was really bitter otherwise.....
ReplyDeleteGot it in the fridge. Going to try it tomorrow! Do you think the cucumber and lemon could be re-used? Hmmm... I'll let ya know in a couple days! :)
ReplyDeletePretty refreshing and tasty! Shockingly so. Was worried about the ginger. But I'm almost done with my first day's pitcher and it was nothing! Thanks!!
Clemson, SC
Do you think you can reuse the ingredients for the four days or will you have to get 4 cucumbers, 4 lemons etc...?
ReplyDeleteOrganic lemons! Otherwise you're just going to be drinking pesticides in your water. Not good.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to try it anyone else tried it and have an amount of weightloss yet?
I found this receipein a book a while back. It is a good one. I fill up a gallon pitcher ... leave the stuff in the pitcher ... pour water in a glass using a small strainer ...refill water each time ... I only dump out stuff after 5 days ... still works great ... Oh ... Bottled lemon juice is not the same. The fresh lemons are best. Fresh lemons great for the antibacterial benifits. Also, this mixture is terrific for "regularity" and body cleansing.
ReplyDeletePitcher is almost gone....love water love lemons. Can't even taste the ginger. Iwas worried bout that. Very refreshing smells good.
ReplyDeleteStarted this today. I drink a ton of water so this is perfect for me. Will let you know how it goes on Friday!
ReplyDeleteThanks! This is great! I am usually pretty good about drinking water all day long, but it does get boring, and sometimes I'd like to drink something with a little flavor. I bought all the ingredients for this yesterday, and never got around to making a pitcher full last night, so I did it this morning. It chilled in the fridge for only about an hour when I poured my first glass. It was a nice change from plain water, and plenty tasty after just an hour, although I imagine it will be better and more beneficial after a longer period of time. (I used ginger paste from a tube that I picked up in the produce section of my grocery store, thinking it would be nice to have a quick shortcut since I'll be making a lot of this.)
Feeling thinner and healthier already! :)
Tried something similar recently at my hair salon/spa. Their recipe called for simmering chucks of fresh apple, sliced lemons; limes in water- enough for a large pitcher - simmering will draw out the fruit flavors. Then chill overnight.
I don't know if that recipe had the fruit strained out after chilling; but I'm guessing by adding new fresh fruit in the am would look a bit more "fresh" in the pitcher. Otherwise this was absolutely yummy. I thought it was a peach drink, like a crystal light or something. Worth trying for sure

Say Hi to Jennifer and Natalie
Hello There..We love weddings!! Planning and crafting is in our blood. It all started when our mother, Sarah owned a floral and décor studio in Indiana. Growing up we always went with her to the shop and would create our own arrangements and create our own make believe weddings. Even through high school and college we were always throwing parties for our friends and family, hosting dinners parties or throwing social galas for our sororities. When Natalie met the love of her life David, we fell back in love with weddings. In planning Natalie's wedding we thought it would be a breeze as we were trained professionals (our many make believe weddings).
We recommend you to check our new year quotes 2017.
We had all the details finished from all of our DIY projects to her timeline down to the minute. On her wedding day we didn't plan for the limo driver to be late in turn making us late for the ceremony and missing crucial photos due to the sun setting. After her wedding we felt there was a lack of information for newly engaged brides and we knew we could be a great resource for you and help you navigate through the wedding process and help you forego the mess and stress we felt at Natalie's wedding. We pride ourselves in making your planning process fun from start to finish and live by the Your Wedding, It's all in the Details! Motto. We are so grateful to be doing what we love and weddings truly are our passion.
New year eve special collection for the love bird is also available on new year message 2017
You can have a look on these happy new year wishes
Jennifer and NatalieBride Interview with Jennifer and Natalie, Professional
Bridal Consultant™ and owners of Burkle Events.
Please take a moment to read this before hiring Jennifer and Natalie and
their planning team:
How long have you been doing this, and how did you become a wedding planner?
We love weddings and it's in our blood. Our mom, Sarah started our obsession with weddings. She owned a floral and design studio and we always tagged along and soon we had our own desks creating our own make believe weddings ☺ Through high school and college we were always creating dinner parties and hosting social gathering for our sororities, When Natalie met the love of her life, David and became engaged, we found ourselves planning her dream wedding…Natalie was the epitome of the self-motivated, DIY bride, with handmade invitations, hairpieces for the flower girls, meticulous spreadsheets and concurring with her budget daily, the way people nowadays update their Facebook status on a daily basis. She planned as if her life depended on it, and thought she had everything down to a science…Until her wedding day arrived. And things happened that we could not have even imagined would happen—the limo arrived late and the driver did not know where he was going our ceremony was then late, causing us to miss important outdoor photos because of low lighting.…she was devastated by this. She did not get the wedding "I envisioned", and what's worse, all of these mishaps could have been avoided in the first place.
After Natalie's wedding, we felt there was a lack of information out there for brides and we knew we could become a great resource for newly engaged brides and help them forego the mess and stress we felt at Natalie's wedding. In the Spring of 2006, We decided to take a leap of faith in launching our own business, Burkle Events. Leaving both of our full time jobs, me being a high school teacher and Natalie an executive at an Insurance company—our aptitude of managing multiple projects at once, competing priorities and balancing funds within tight budgets, but now instead, I'm helping to change how brides and groom have their wedding experience.
We love your wedding planning services and gallery. Everything sounds great. So, can you tell me what really sets you apart from other wedding planners out there?
I did not have my dream wedding, even though wedding planning came natural to me. Like many of you, I share in your experience of being the DIY bride. I knew I'd be able to get the details done, but what I never planned for, was what was to happen on the day itself. It was a very painful experience to not have your dream day.
Happy New Year Images
Our mission of Your Wedding, It's all in the details stems from the belief that each wedding is unique, and that each couple's values should be reflected in their planning experience, and on their day—what bride would be happy if all I did was reflect my tastes? Quite honestly, that would be boring, if all I did was plan weddings to suit my interests. Our past clients would tell you that in working with us, not only will you find someone who is here emotionally for you, but that I am skilled at working hard to be sure you receive a personalized experience. In addition, I specialize in planning only one wedding a weekend. If you haven't had the chance to check out this video yet of us planning one of our weddings, be sure you watch it. This is an example of what I can provide for you on your day:
This all sounds wonderful…But it also seems expensive, an added expense to my already tight budget. Are we going to be able to afford this?
You can't afford NOT to! The mistake of not having my dream day, taught me that it's not just about planning "the" perfect wedding, it's about the emotions that go with what YOU feel is about having the perfect wedding. Because of this, We truly believe that every bride should have a planner—at the very least, for the day-of—and hence why we made our packages affordable for all budgets. We also offer customize packages to fit your specific needs.
Plus, we've had the experiences of hearing from brides who felt we were "too expensive", but later found out that they went over their budgets (sometimes WAY over), all because they didn't know what they were doing. Remember that this is my profession. Contrary to what many believe, a planner should be part of your wedding budget, not an extra expense. Plus, we'll save you time and money. Your time is precious, and like most, the vendors you are trying to contact are probably taking lunch the same time you are, or are working until 5PM like you (and you don't want to be planning on your company's time, do you?).
So, we suggest that you really sit and think about what your dream wedding looks like to you, what you're envisioning…Really seriously think this through (write it down!). And contact us for your complimentary "get acquainted" session, so that we can really talk about your dreams, see if we're a good fit, and how together, we can create your wedding vision. It doesn't sound that expensive now, does it?

CAMPBELL, Calif., March 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Jive Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: JIVE) today announced that it is the first end-to-end enterprise collaboration solution to attain FedRAMP "in process" status, with sponsorship from its existing customer, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). When full certification is completed later this year, Jive's FedRAMP-certified collaboration hub solution will include new and enhanced security features, such as restricted production access, unique key-based encryption at rest, additional disaster recovery and ITAR compliance, as well as a certified FedRAMP cloud infrastructure hosted via the Amazon Web Services GovCloud.
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, or FedRAMP, is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Its certification assessment process includes an in-depth examination of a solution's data security and data governance capabilities, as well as the security practices of its cloud services. Working with NASA to coordinate progress with the FedRAMP Program Management Office, Jive has completed all preparatory steps and is currently in the independent testing phase with a third-party assessment organization.
"Reaching this milestone is an exciting development for Jive, as well as for our customers n government agencies and several other regulated industries," said David Cook, chief security officer at Jive Software. "When FedRAMP certification is achieved, it will validate our no-compromise approach to delivering a highly available, private and secure architecture that protects confidentiality across the millions of people who depend on Jive to drive mission-critical business processes and keep their information safe every day."
A number of respected third-party agencies already certify and audit Jive's environment on a regular basis. Jive's current certifications include SOC2, ISO and SSAE 16 SOC1, and Jive is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLBA). Several government agencies already use Jive as a collaboration hub, including NASA, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, the United States Army and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). To learn more about Jive's advanced security controls for government agencies, visit https://www.jivesoftware.com/solutions/government-collaboration/ or join us at JiveWorld on May 1-3 in Las Vegas for the first Jive Federal Summit, which will bring together government agencies and contractors to share best practices and learn about Jive's new FedRAMP solution.

My lovely wife purchased this from the Mostly Autumn Records website for my birthday, and a fantastic addition to my collection it is too.
Josh has, to my mind, recreated the feel and sound of the earlier MA records which made me a fan in the first place.
The album appears to be a personal recounting of a Josh trip, where he encounters such characters as Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon, and Freddie Mercury!
The feel of the album is more in keeping with such releases as The Last Bright Light, in other words a lovingly created fusion of prog, celtic, and folk influences. Joshs' guitar playing is as vital and powerful as it is on all MA releases, but the huge bonus for me in this album is his singing. The vocals are very much to the fore, soulful, tuneful, and he tells his story well.
I will not go through each individual track, but the standouts for me are The Appian Way and the title track, Through These Eyes. If there were any justice in this world, the former would be a number one single on both sides of the Atlantic - a rocker that also manages to sound commercially vital. The following track, We Graze, is the perfect come down.
Slow Down is a marvellous blues feel track. Old style prog fans will love the keyboards on Going Home. By the time the LP reaches Carry Me, you will be lost in the soundscapes created with the help of a decent set of speakers.
Josh is given able support from Olivia Sparnenn, who takes on the Heather Findlay role with considerable aplomb.
A superb LP which all modern progressive music lovers will welcome into their collections.

How To Whiten Bone
Here at CowboyWay.com we've always taken the patient approach to whitening the bone of a cow skull: We allow nature to take its course and do the work for us. By allowing a fresh skull to be exposed to insects and sunshine the bone of the skull is slowly but surely cleaned to a nice, bright, white with little or no work from us. We've used this patient approach numerous times over the years with excellent results.
The skull in this article, though, presented a new challenge for us. This particular skull was submerged in a pond for about a year before we could retrieve it. When we could finally get to it, the bone had large areas of brown and black stains.
Below: A cow skull whitened with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Prior to being whitened, the bone of this skull had large areas of brown and black stains.
Since we knew that hydrogen peroxide is widely used to whiten bone we decided to give it a try on our cow skull. We had used hydrogen peroxide several years earlier to whiten a small bone with good results, but we had never used it on something as large as a cow skull. In the text and photos below we'll show you the steps we took and the results we achieved.
Whitening The Bone Of A Cow Skull
Below is a photo of the skull before we whitened the bone. We considered immersing the entire skull in a container of hydrogen peroxide but didn't have a container large enough. Even if we were able to find a suitable container, we wanted to avoid the expense of buying enough hydrogen peroxide to fill it.
So, instead of immersing the skull, we decided to wrap it in white cloth soaked with hydrogen peroxide, then cover it with plastic wrap and a garbage bag to keep the peroxide from running off or evaporating.
A cow skull with stains and the items we used to whiten it.
Shown in the photo above is a list of the items we used:
- To the left of the skull
- Clear plastic wrap, the kind you use in the kitchen. We used a generic brand purchased at our local discount store.
- White towels.
- To the right of the skull
- Two, 1-quart bottles of 3% hydrogen peroxide. We wound up only using one bottle. When working with hydrogen peroxide we suggest you read the label and follow all precautions.
- Blue rubber gloves to wear while working with the peroxide.
- A black, 50-gallon garbage bag. We used a heavy-duty bag so the tips of the horns wouldn't poke holes in it.
Wrapping The Bone
The first thing we did was slide off the outer shells of the horns and lay them aside. This served two purposes: 1) It decreased the overall width of the skull and made it easier to work with, and 2) The outer shells of the horn are made of keratin, not bone, and we didn't want to get hydrogen peroxide on them.
Next, we wrapped the bone of the skull in white towels, then poured 3% hydrogen peroxide on the towels until they were saturated. Working quickly, we then covered the skull and towels with clear plastic wrap. We tried to get the skull sealed in the plastic wrap before too much of the hydrogen peroxide could run off.
Note: Even though the bone of the horns was stained like the rest of the skull, you can see in the photo that we didn't wrap them in hydrogen peroxide in order to whiten them. That's because we had the outer shells of the horns to place back over them when we were done, covering the stains.
Below: The cow skull covered in white towels soaked with hydrogen peroxide, then wrapped in clear plastic kitchen wrap.
If you didn't know that horns were made up of two components,
bone and keratin, you can see our article on that here:
Cow horns..
Next, we put the skull into a black, heavy-duty, 50-gallon garbage bag, tied the bag closed, and set it outside in the sun. The skull was in the bag from 9:10am until 7:00pm, and the high temperature that day was 100 degrees Fahrenheit with strong sunshine all day.
At the end of the day we completely unwrapped the skull, rinsed it generously with water to remove all traces of hydrogen peroxide, then allowed it to air dry overnight.
This is the result after the first day. (Note that we put the outer shells of the horns back on for the photo.)
The skull is much whiter and we were quite pleased with the initial results. However, we did want a bit more whitening, particularly in the area on the nasal bone.
To get a little more whitening we once again removed the outer shells of the horns, covered only the still-brown areas of the bone with white towels, saturated the towels with 3% hydrogen peroxide, then wrapped the entire skull in plastic wrap and put it back into the garbage bag.
This time the skull was wrapped from 8:30am to 6:00pm with a high temperature that day of 92 degrees Fahrenheit. The morning was partly cloudy with strong sunshine all afternoon. When we unwrapped the skull that evening we rinsed it thoroughly with water, making sure to remove all traces of hydrogen peroxide, and allowed it to air dry.
Whitened Bone - The Results
After a second day of whitening treatments we liked the results we achieved. They can be seen in the photo below. We would suspect that one or more additional treatments with hydrogen peroxide would whiten the brown area on the nasal bone further, but we liked the results as they were and chose not to attempt additional whitening.
Pictured with the skull are the items we used to finish getting it ready for display. These are itemized below.
Below: The whitened bone of our cow skull. Also shown are the items we used to finish getting the skull ready for display.
- To the left of the skull:
- Skidmore's Leather Cream.
- Steel wool.
- Coarse, medium, and fine sandpaper.
We used the sandpaper and steel wool to sand the outer shells of the horns. We didn't sand them a lot, just enough to remove the dark, dirty patches and smooth them up a little. When we were done sanding we rinsed them off, allowed them to air dry, then put on a light coat of Skidmore's Leather Cream.
- To the right of the skull:
- A bottle of Elmer's glue.
- A 3 cc syringe with a 16 gauge, 1 inch needle.
- A can of spray polyurethane.
Since the teeth in the skull were loose, we used the glue to help set the teeth. We removed the plunger from the syringe, squirted the glue in, then replaced the plunger. We then inserted the needle into any gaps we could find around the teeth and filled them with glue.
When the glue had set we sprayed several light coats of polyurethane over the entire skull to help seal it and to prevent dust from settling into it, which could eventually give it a dingy look.
Parting Notes On Cow Skulls and Whitening Bone
- We used 3% hydrogen peroxide to whiten the bone of our skull because we were
unable to find a higher percentage available to us locally. While we could find
higher percentages for sale on the Web, the cost was higher and we
decided to use the 3%. It was available to us at our local discount store for
$1.00 per quart, and we only needed one quart for the skull in this article.
- We have heard that stronger percentages of hydrogen peroxide work more quickly to whiten bone, but we don't have any personal experience using higher percentages. The 3% hydrogen peroxide worked well for us, probably due in part to the help of the hot summer temperatures.
- When working with hydrogen peroxide of any strength read and follow all label precautions.
- We used white towels because hydrogen peroxide can have a similar effect on colored fabrics as bleach. Hydrogen peroxide might not only remove the color from colored towels, the color might seep into the bone.
- Although we sealed the cow skull in this article with polyurethane, another method we like to use is to mix a white glue, such as Elmer's, in a 1:1 ratio with water, then paint the mixture onto the skull. We recommend only putting this mixture on bone, though, and not the outer shells of the horns (which is made of keratin), as this mixture might give them an odd whitish-cast.
- If you didn't know that horns were made up of two components, bone and keratin, you can see our article on that here: Cow horns.
- Does whitening the bone damage it? Yes. By some people's definition whitening bone by any method, including sunlight, is damaging to it. However, most of us have come to think of "pretty" bone as white bone, and a certain amount of whitening - whether it's done by Mother Nature or by us - is the look most of us prefer.

the lions are a bunch on pin heads, and jack lorrain is the most over rated footballer ever to set foot on earth, hes as good as a wheely bin on stilts.(f*****g use less) ive seen a few games of the bears this year and one player that seems to amaze me is the young thorsen..BIG MOTOR. any thoughts??
I'm not sure whether No Heart is right for your log on, probably no brains is a better option, or is it that all associated with seymour are just simple. As for stating the bleeding obvious re Echuca that is my opinion, which is why we have this thread. Calling me a pin head REALLY HURTS but only shows you up for also being a head , but its not a pin. Grow up.
He's just winding you up jaggo, must have been bored. Not quite sure how Seymour will go this year, i think about half the team from last year will still be around and the next group of players coming up are apparently fairly handy. Might struggle at times due to lack of height.
good solid player.. dunno where youve seen him play any games this year, as he hasnt played in any... lol maybe last year? has had a shocking run with injuries which has set him back.. last year he only played a hand full of games because he broke his colar bone so bad it went under his sternum or something pretty bad like that.. and this year hasnt been able to train with the bushies or bears due to shin splints... hope he can get it right for the 08 season
How do you guys think Adam Lovison will fare in the 3rds this year. Was a dominant player last year in 16's reckon he will make the transition into 3rds and have an impact this year?
He has a big heart and gives 100% every contest. His skills, mainly his kicking continue to let him down, though training with the bushies may improve him in this regard. Should play ruck at Ky though I have heard they have a number of talls which gives them a number of options.
A bunch of pin heads couldnt of won the flag mate...... your a tool. As for Jake Loraine (or Jack Lorrain as half-wits know him) came runner up best and fairest in the Under 18's CLub best and fairest... thats some wheelie bin!!
seymour will go pretty good towards the end of the yr wen they get all their players back from assumption bushies etc. like last yr and also there r a few players who are coming up from the younger age groups. lions will go back to back and the seniors will go back to back to back to back.
United seem to have picked up some handy first year players in Doyle, Burness, O'Sullivan, Tetley, Trevaskis, Shaw, Wright, Hall, Normington and Goodwin. They all seem to move fairly well from the couple of times Ive seen them train.
yea united look like they gonna be pretty strong... thats on paper we see how they go together with so many players having to rotate each week
How many are on United's final list? What do you feel is a workable/manageable number of players to have on a thirds list? Interested to hear your responses here.
Wouldn't call doyle a "handy player" but if hes handy in the united side then i think they will struggle
Not actually my list but the team manager has told me that they have finished and the list is finalised.
Actually will not be too many rotations as the list includes a couple of bushies and 3 or 4 players that will be playing seniors. The coach and team manager have told me they will have a list of 32 when after you take half a dozen out for bushies and seniors drops the list to 26 which allows for a few injuries and unavailabilities. 30 to 32 is the right size. Past two years they had 28 to 30 and were one or two short.
Hi Jaggo United will have 32 on list.(See previous comment). 30 to 32 seems to be the right number if you look back over the last few years. United had around 28 to 30 last year and ran into trouble with numbers and at one stage had 4 permit players over a three week period. 28 is not enough and over 32 is too many. 32 gives you a good list plus the opportunity to cover any problem that might come up.
thanks for the details, but what happens to the 10 guys who miss out on a game when everyone is available? there would have to be some guys who would rather play regular footy each week.
30 is a good number but by the sounds of things united is they place to go... u say the side is finalised, was there a cut that happened
has shin splints so hasnt been able 2 train at full capacity but can play... great smarts around goals

Choose Between Two Options
- $59 for a 50-minute detox facial or back-purifying treatment ($140 value)
- $75 for a 40-minute body scrub and 30-minute massage ($155 value)
LekSpa gets its name from owner Lek Stark, who has trained for years as an aesthetician and massage therapist. Though her experience is vast, Stark's most impressive credential is likely the time she spent practicing Thai massage at the Four Seasons in Koh Samui, an island in the Gulf of Thailand. At her spa, she continues the traditions of Thai massage by stretching muscles into yoga-like poses to reduce stress and restore balance. She also specializes in Swedish and couple's massages, the latter of which allows friends to relax after fighting each others' clones to the death. Rejuvenating facials round out the spa's treatment menu.

My mortgage was sold to these people and now they send me bills on the 8th of the month that were due on the 1st with no prior cotification and charge late fees! I can't get anyone on the phone to help. I am pretty sure at this point they do it intentionally to get the extra service fee.
These reviews were written by current and former account holders in the last year.
web page is hard to figure out
They charge interest on the card from the minute you put a charge on it, no 20 day crage period to pay like all other cards I have.
You have to go thru a lot of hassle before you can get a account. overall not worth the effort.
Impossible to get customer service.
Worst, most antiquated dispute process you will ever use. No resolution for months. Impossible to get anyone on the phone to check the status. all correspondence by snail mail. Leaving a voicemail with the promise of a returned call within 48 hours, never results in a call back. (Must leave a voicemail because you cant get anyone on the phone). Bank elsewhere.
impossible to contact

Impossible to get someone on the phone.
Adrews has the most antiquated dispute process I have ever dealt with. You have to mail or fax in documents. It is literally impossible to get someone on the phone to review your case. They insist you leave a voicemail with the promise to return your call within 48 hours, which never happens. They close without resolution because they claim to have never recieved your paperwork (which you probably sent them twice, as in my case). Must be the most disorganized business I have ever dealt with. Took my money out because I was tired of dealing with it.
Chip and Pin Visa -- did NOT work
The only reason I joined this credit union was to get their Chip and Pin Visa card for travel to Europe and Asia. Just came back from 3 weeks in Europe and it NEVER worked ! Yes, I had set up a pin. Yes, I called to alert them that I would be traveling. It never worked in an un-manned kiosk (railway stations) nor when paying in a restaurant (it was processed just like a non-PIN U.S. card requiring a signature). Luckily I traveled with Europeans who could pay for my rail tickets when this card failed me.
I callted customer service today after returning to the US and they really had no idea why it didn't work. They asked me to give them the exact location where I tried to use it & the error message (really ... do they speak Danish?). I will cancel this card as it is absolutely worhtless to me. Might as well use my airline or hotel affiliated U.S. cards and earn some benefits.
Poor service, rude attitudes, terrible systems.
Worlds Worst Credit Union - PERIOD !!
If there is a world wide ranking for the world's worst banks. Andrews Credit Union will be Top 1. Even banks from Nigeria and North Korea will beat AFCU.
They will try their best to make it as hard as possible for you to make your payments. I can't believ in 2016 they still don't have the Online Banking, nor mobile banking to make your loan payments. At first they made me setup payments through emails. After few months they stared charging $10 for payments through email. Yes, you pay them to make your payments.
Then they made me set up the payments through phone. After few months they started charging $5 for paying though phone. Yes, you pay them to make your payments. You can't pay online, mobile, email or phone . You pay extra !! Will fine you if you go past due on 1st.To Set Up Automatic Deposit with them you have to do million things here and there . It may be more easy to start your own bank.Will report to credit agencies by mistake, even if you paid on time and when you dispute they just lie and straight up says they don't know. Rude Customer Service. If you are deployed and have hard time reaching them. They Will say my friends are deployed too but they don't have problems, why are you having ??..So you deal with this..
They Won't do anything to help you but will Do Everything to screw you and they are very good at it.
I will never ever bank with them no matter what, even if they loan me 1 million with no interest i still run away from them. Do your research and don't dare to go with them.
If you are bored with your life and want some extra problems in your life. Pick up the phone and dial Andrews Federal. If you have 98 problems and need one more to make 99, Pick up the phone and dial Andrews Federal. If not just stay away from them.

Bread Machine Wheat Bread
17 comments:
This is the best bread I've ever made! I've made it twice - turned out great both times. Thank you so much! I've been needing a trustworthy bread recipe!
ReplyDelete- Replies
Sorry you thought the yeast taste was a little too much. I have never noticed it tasting like yeast. I have heard before that if you let the dough rise too long, then it will cause a yeasty flavor. How long is your dough cycle on your bread machine? Lately when I make this I have been adding 1/2 - 3/4 tsp. cinnamon and it makes a delicious piece of toast with butter for breakfast.
I seem to have the yeast taste in all bread I make....maybe I'm just being picky. Dough cycle is 1 hr, 20 min. I wonder what would happen if I use a tad less yeast. Maybe I'll try next time. Thanks.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousMay 22, 2012 at 2:17 PM
I've never thought of doing the dough in the machine and then baking it in a regualr loaf pan. I have an old bread machine that has the round upright loaf, and I don't love the shape. Last night I made this bread - dough made in the machine, and then baked in the oven. Turned out great! Only way to go from now on!
ReplyDelete - HeatherOctober 22, 2012 at 9:08 AM
Would it also work well if I just baked it in the bread machine or does it turn out better in the oven? Im lazy...lol

It's just luck, we all have those days
I just lost like 6 to 16 then 32 to 45 or so to lose same game -- sucks happens tho
Because all battle are through a random generator, thus just over powering will wim
I've lost 32 vs 3 before... which is quite stupid//
But it doesn't make sence to have a character with 32 attack lose to one with 3 attack, where is the strategy in that? If all matches are determined through random luck then why even talk about strategy or skill? It seems like a glitch or an exploit that should be fixed.
Oh exuse me .. IM STARTING TO HATE THIS GAME , I CANT EVEN UP A LVL !! IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME , i play 2-3 more pils then my opp , he has like -3-4 less atk (based) and he awlays win
This is a case of cultre shock.
Europeans see a strategic game that has a flare of chance as exciting and mysterious.
Americans see a strategic game that relies on chance as stupid and illogical.
Americans, remember that this game's core market is Europeans, and slowly is this game being modified to match American values (i.e. maybe they change the random function to be less random -- like in ELO).
Until that time study your tactics guides. There are ways of getting away from the randomness. Trust me. (In Computers nothing is really random )
Random and Strategic are mutually exclusive when the stats on the cards become meaningless. If you want to add a random element then make the deck size larger or make the cards played be choosen randomly (for the attack not the game)both those ideas keep the deck building strategic and make playing pillz strategic as well.
A 2 power character beating your 7 power character when the 2 power player has not stat bonuses or abilities and no pillz played and your 7 power character get 2 power and 8 attack and has 6 pillz played on him is just random, there is no (explained) reason for it to happen, but it has.

McKinsey & Co. Managing Knowledge and Learning
Mckinsey- Accounting and Engineering Advisors 1962 James (Mac) Mckinsey, University of Chicago professor General Survey Outline - Undeviating sequence of analysis –Goals –Strategy –Policies –Organization –Facilities –Procedures –Personnel –Encouraged the to think for themselves
Marvin Bower Young lawyer w/ Harvard MBA Upgraded the firm's image to "efficiency experts" or "business doctors" Vision –Focus on issues important to top-level mgmt –High standards of integrity, professional ethics, and technical experience, able attract and develop men of outstanding qualifications and committed to raising its stature and influence –Serve its clients superbly well ONE FIRM policy –Required all consultants to be recruited and advanced on a firm wide basis –Clients to be treated as responsibilities –Profits to be shared from a firm pool –Every assignment should bring more than revenue – experience/prestige
Decade of Doubt 1970s, growth began to stall and the conclusion was the company has been growing too fast Associate to MGM ratio to be reduced from 7:1 to 5/6:1 Emphasis to be placed on the "T-shaped" consultants" – those who supplemented a broad generalist perspective with an in- depth industry or functional specialty
Ron Daniel Managing Director in 1976, Regional Manager for NY Office Competitor BCG focused on "thought leadership" vs McKinsey's "client relationship" focus. –BCG used experience curves and growth-share matrix –McKinsey had a generalist model Debated on updating the firm's commitment to serving its clients and developing its consultants Created industry-based Clientele Sectors * Consumer products * Banking *Industrial Goods * Insurance * etc. Development of firm's functional expertise where knowledge and information was diffused and minimally codified –Strategy –Organization –Operations Strategy created concern as was –Product focus vs customer focused –"Fly in Fly out" Leveraged Company Expertise –Assemble working groups to develop knowledge in two areas: strategy and organization –3 day meetings to share ideas and develop an agenda for the strategy practice –2 nd group was brought together to articulate the firm's existing knowledge in the organization arena. 1980s, growth resumed with a cautious optimism
Revival and Renewal Centers of Competence –Virtual Centers –Knowledge development had to be a core activity, ongoing, institutionalized, responsibility of everyone –Changed internal hierarchy –"Snowballing" Building a Knowledge Infrastructure –Firm refocused on individual consultant training –Centers of Competence began generating new insights, and many began to feel the need to capture and leverage learning –Non-packaged ideas 1978 launched the McKinsey Staff Paper series. (capturing internal developed knowledge)
Knowledge Management 1987, Fred Gluck (managed the super group) launched a Knowledge Management Project. 3 recommendations were made: –Firm had to make a major commitment to build a common database of knowledge accumulated from client work –Ensure databases were maintained and used. Hire fulltime practice coordinator. –Firm expand its hiring practices and promotion policies to create a career path for deep functional specialist "I" vs "T" shaped
Bill Matassoni Firm's Director of Communications Brook Manville, Yale Ph.D teamed to implement Knowledge Management –First focused on FPIS, Firm Practice Information System Installed new systems and procedures to make data more complete, accurate, and timely, not just an archival record –Practice Development Network(PDNet) –Knowledge Resource Directory (KRD) Assembled a listing of all firm experts and key document titles by practice area and published it in a small book. Reflection: the infrastructure changes was not to create a new McKinsey, as to keep the old"one firm" concept as they grew
Managing Success Clientele and Professional Development Committee –Objective of replacing the leader-driven knowledge creation and dissemination process with a "steward model" of self-governing practices focused on competence building. Engagement Team –Assembled to deliver a three or four month assignment for a client –Highly efficient and Flexible unit –Focused on immediate task rather than long term need Client Service Team –Add long term value –Increase the effectiveness of individual engagements Develop Multiple Career Paths
Congruence Model Norms, Values Communications Networks Informal Roles Informal Power Strategic Grouping Formal Linking Rewards Information Systems Human Resource Management Systems Career Systems Human Resources Capabilities Competencies Strategic Choices Strategy Objectives Vision Component Tasks Work Flows/Processes Executive Leadership Competencies Demography Group Process
Jeff Peters and Sydney Assignment Challenges –Industry expertise "conflicted out" –Resources were unavailable due to timing in Australia Resolved –20% of consultant hired for project were inter-office loans –Internal specialists were assembled to consult the team –Utilized the KRD, FPIS, and PDNet resources
Warwick Bray and European Telecoms Warwick Bray was an "I" specialist and was overwhelmed by demands for help Leveraged the practice coordinator, creating development and growth. Practice Development documentation is created by individuals associates who would step back after several engagements and write a paper on their new insights. It was a new generation of practice leadership –Attract the best associates –Developed a consistent pool of specialists
Stephen Dull Turn that frown upside down Mckinsey focused on client personal relationships, whereas Dull was more focused on industrial marketing –This led to Dull focusing on a B to B strategy –GDL decided that 20-25% should be functioning experts Dull's new center was successful and had new options available to him –Writing a book –Enhance internal credibility and external visibility
Rajat Gupta Capitalize on the firm's long term investment in practice development –FPIS –PDNet Practice Olympics –Experiment began in German Office –2-6 teams from office around the world were encouraged to develop ideas that grew out of recent client engagements and formulize them for presentation at a regional competition 6 Special Intiatives-led by senior partners, focused on emerging issues –Internal and External Expertise to develop "state of the art" formulations of each key issue. –Focused on the shape and function of the corporation of the future –Creating and managing strategic growth –Capturing global opportunities

Cold War Quiz
Essential Question: – What was life like in America in the 1950s?
Watch this video and identify 3 characteristics of life in America in the 1950sthis video
The end of WWII led to an era of wealth & spending in the 1950s: The war stimulated the economy & ended the Great Depression High wages, service pay for soldiers, & war bond investments gave Americans money to spend The economic boom allowed Americans to enjoy the highest standard of living in the world
Consumerism returned in the 1950s because for the 1 st time since the 1920s Americans had money and access to consumer goods People rushed to buy new goods like cars, TVs & hi-fi record players Credit became available (The 1 st credit card was created in 1950) Advertisers used newspaper ads, radio, & new TV commercials to market goods to Americans Franchises offered people across the country the same products
Americans produced a baby boom in the 1950s, leading to the largest generation in U.S. history In 1957, a baby was born every 7 seconds The return of soldiers from war led to an increase in marriages & a rise in the birthrate
The baby boom led to a demand for new baby products, schools, & homes for growing families
Suburbs boomed in the 1950s Suburbs offered peace of mind, affordable homes, & good schools The majority of Americans worked in cities but wanted the security of suburbs for their families
The GI Bill of Rights offered returning soldiers cheap loans for new homes & tuition for college
