Knife Music: A Novel by David Carnoy
Knife Music: A Novel
by David Carnoy
(Kindle Edition)
Shortly before hanging herself from a shower head, 16-year-old Kristen Kroiter wrote in her diary about having sex with 43-year-old Ted Cogan, a senior trauma surgeon reputed to be a playboy. The doctor treated her in the hospital after she drove her father's Volkswagen Jetta over a curb and struck a telephone pole a few months earlier. Arrested for contributing to Kristen's death, then suspended from his job, Cogan begins playing gumshoe to clear his name. He eventually tracks many of the case's weak underpinnings to a fraternity at nearby Stanford University.
Knife Music is a good, interesting mystery and for the most part held my interest. The pace slowed at times with the descriptive details being too excessive and I didn't particularly care for the multiple transitions from the past to the present. The author does a great job of creating characters you like and in this case dislike, most of the characters in this book are vividly drawn and easy to believe. The ending came out of nowhere, not anything that I expected… a shocker.

User Interface Changes with WordPress 3.9 "Smith"April, 23 2014 Comments
You may have noticed some changes with WordPress 3.9, which they are calling "Smith" in honor of jazz organist Jimmy Smith (not after our dearest Christine Smith), including:
Paste Changes
Paste from Word was removed and Paste as Plain Text was turned into a toggle, instead of a box overlay.
This means that when you click Paste as Plain Text instead of a box popping up where you paste your content, the Plain text mode is engaged and you paste your content directly into the editing area. Make sure the button is engaged when you do your paste, as indicated by a small black outline around the button on the toolbar.
Our Help ManualNovember, 8 2011 Comments
The lack of user documentation for open-source projects, like Wordpress and Drupal the two Content Management Systems we develop in most frequently at Raised Eyebrow, is a known issue. While a thriving user base and a good google search can often turn up answers to questions not addressed in documentation for a development team, that's not really a viable solution for end-users, in our case clients who are simply trying to maintain and manage their websites. And, since we build a lot of custom Drupal Modules or Wordpress Plugins to meet our client's specific communications needs, we then become the folks responsible for documentation.
Getting control of YouTube via JavascriptOctober, 7 2011 Comments
Recently I was trying to write a WordPress slideshow plugin that would include YouTube videos. The challenge was that when I play the video I want to pause the slide. On regular picture slides I just needed to add a
click()event listener to the slide object and attach a call to pause jQueryCycle. YouTube, though, refused to take the
click()listener seriously. The solution came to me by reading up on the Youtube player api.Code and Coding, Content Management Systems, Geekery, PHP, plugins, Source, WordPress, WordPress, youtube
WooCommerce: E-commerce Made SimpleSeptember, 28 2011 Comments
One of our favourite purveyors of WordPress themes (that is, design templates) - WooThemes - has just announced a series of e-commerce products.
If you're currently using WordPress to power your website and want to start selling products (whether tangible or digital/virtual), this might be a good option for you.

Raised Eyebrow to the RescueJuly, 19 2011 Comments
Last week our team got to feel like superheros coming to the rescue of a longtime colleague/client with a very quick, but also very satisfying project -- who doesn't like feeling like a superhero? The call came from CUPE Local 79, a Local that represents City of Toronto workers, the Toronto Community Housing Corporation and Bridgepoint Hospital. The challenge: they had a media campaign and ad buy, tied to a campaign, rolling out in roughly a week and their website house was, well not exactly in order.
YouTube URL Structure UpdateJuly, 5 2011 Comments
Youtube recently updated their URL structure. Now, if you click Share below a YouTube video you get a short URL, with a structure like http://youtu.be/PNyMlswZb-I, instead of the older format http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNyMlswZb-I. The shorter URL is nice for sending the URL around to friends or tweeting. However, some Drupal sites that use short codes, such as ">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNyMlswZb-I] for embedding Youtube may need to be updated to work with the new URL structure. We'll be checking the sites we've launched and contacting you if your site is among those effected.
Ecwid: The Simple Shopping Cart SolutionJune, 14 2011 Comments
If you haven't heard of Ecwid, and you are in the market for a shopping cart, you should check it out. It is a newish shopping cart system that can be integrated with Drupal or WordPress. Compared to other Drupal/WordPress options it is simple in design/function and it is simple to integrate with your website. I did a happy dance the first time I checked Ecwid out because finally we have a simple solution to offer to clients that is a real shopping cart.

Being Curious for a Living: WordCamp Vancouver presentationJune, 12 2010 Comments
I spoke today at WordCamp Vancouver - a one-day conference for people who work with WordPress (including developers, designers and users). It was a great event, thanks to the hard work of the organizers. The presenters shared lots of very useful information on design and coding as well as about social media and web culture.
I chose to focus my 25-minute talk on what I think lies below the surface of the work we do as web designers and developers, and that's a more consultative and strategic role that we can play if we choose to (and if our clients let us).
The session was recorded on video, and I'll post that video when I get the link that video is posted below, but for now I thought I would at least share my slide deck - particularly for those in attendance who requested it.Content Management Systems, Design, Education and Speaking, Online Strategy, Raised Eyebrow, WordPress

Despite the 'radio silence' since February, it's been a busy few months.
A lot of my focus has been on photography over the last months. Fascinating skies have held my attention and have made for some stunning shots.
Street art has also been a favourite subject and I captured a lot of sticker art in a recent trip to Amsterdam. Sadly I'm unable to attend the Amsterdam Street Art festival that's currently underway (8-15 June 2010) – I'm sure this would be a great source of inspiration. The London Police will be there, along with many others.
As always, light play is a subject I keep coming back to and I have taken a wide range of pictures, mainly from the city lights in Den Haag. Other favourites include macro shots of flora & fauna and abstracts inspired by glass and nature.
As there are so many photo's it's impossible to load these all onto this site, so I will shortly be loading up a selection from each subject area.
New paintings
Next to my photography I have also been busy painting. Below are the newest additions to my portfolio and one 'work in progress':
Exhibition IGZ, Zwolle
In April I was asked by the Inspectie voor de Gezondheidszorg to exhibit my artwork, both paintings and photographs, at their government building in Zwolle. It's a private exhibition (an art loan – or 'kunstuitleen' – if you like) of 30 pieces: 16 photos and 14 paintings. I'm really very privileged to have been invited to exhibit there. The exhibition runs from April right through to September, when I have also been asked to come and talk to the IGZ about my work, my style & my inspiration.
Exhibition Diageo, Amsterdam
A second private exhibition I'll be exhibiting at is one I'm organising myself at Diageo in Amsterdam. Diageo is a premium drinks manufacturer and employs a large pool of international and talented people. The aim of the exhibition is to reveal the hidden talents of Diageo's employees. The exhibition is planned to start in August and will run continuously, with participants' content being rotated on a quarterly basis.
Other Exhibitions
Other exhibitions that have kept me busy since February have been ones I have visited and these have been so inspirational.
Running from 6 February till 13 June is 'Kandinsky & Der Blaue Reiter' at the Gemeente Museum in Den Haag. 1911 was a turning point in the art world and Expressionism gained momentum. The Munchen-based group of Expressionist artists included Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Gabriele Münter, Alexej von Jawlensky, August Macke, Marianne von Werefkin and Heinrich Campendonck. The colour, style and vibrancy of these works gave me much to think about. If you get a chance to go, go early in the day to beat the crowds, as it's (quite rightly) a very popular exhibition.
Whether you manage to make it in time for the Kandinsky exhibition or not, don't leave until you've explored the depths of the Gemeente Museum. In the far corner of the museum are some stunning works by Piet Mondriaan. Because the hall is situated so far away from the temporary exhibition it's virtually empty of people – a shame for the people who're missing out on these great artworks, but a real boon for those who leave the beaten path. The luxury of an empty hall filled with impressive, colourful paintings is not something one gets to enjoy very often.
The Mondriaan collection at the Gemeente Museum is the largest in the world and contains some of his best known pieces. Victory Boogie Woogie, while remaining a very original piece, has seen better days though and I thought it was looking a little grubby. On the other hand, 'Molen bij zonlicht', 'De Rode Molen', 'Duinlanschap' and 'De Grijze Boom' are simply awe-inspiring. I really recommend paying these a visit.
A recent weekend in Amsterdam enabled me to explore the Van Gogh museum and Foam Photographic museum at my leisure.
Even though the Van Gogh museum is being renovated and some of the most famous works aren't currently on exhibit, there are still many, many of his best known pieces to drool over.
In the temporary exhibition in the newly extended part of the museum is a collection of paintings by Gaugin and a number of fellow artists of his day. During the Paris World Exhibition of 1889 they formed a rebellious group and offered an alternative exhibition in answer to the traditional works that could be seen at the Word Exhibition. Particularly interesting, I thought, were the paintings by Émile Schuffenecker.
At Foam I enjoyed the works of photographer Ari Marcopoulos the most. His work can be seen till 13 June 2010, so be quick! Marcopoulos has close links with the youth culture in the US and has taken many photo's over the past three decades of the hip hop, skateboarding and snowboarding scenes. Due to his close contact with these groups his work shows an intimacy and honesty that any other photographer would simply never gain access to.
Lastly, on a more local note, I will be visiting the opening of an exhibition of work by Den Haag artist Jolanda van der Elst. Jolanda paints using various media and, although she has a preference for portraits, she is not limited to these and also paints still-life and landscapes. Aside from being able to meet like-minded people, the opening will also give me an opportunity to network with some of the local artists. A bit of PR is never a bad thing, I say! Jolanda's work can be seen throughout the month of June at Gallerie Nootenboom in Nootdorp.

The US "kept Taiwan in mind" during US President Barack Obama's recent meetings with Chinese President Hu Jintao (胡錦濤) and rejected any Chinese request that would have caused harm to Taiwan in negotiating the text of the two presidents' Joint Statement, American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Chairman Raymond Burghardt said yesterday.
Saying that China came into the negotiations on the joint statement with the intention of trying to "break new ground," Burghardt said the US managed to make it a constructive statement "that in no way violate[d] any of Taiwan's interests."
Burghardt, who arrived in Taipei on Sunday to brief Taiwanese authorities on Hu's state visit to the US last week, also held a roundtable meeting with members of the press.
China initially wanted the document to be called a "communique" and the phrase "[China's] core interests" — present in the 2009 US-China Joint Statement when Obama visited Beijing — included in the text, but the US made it clear that "we prefer to have no joint statement rather than a statement which used the phrase 'core interests.'"
The 2009 Joint Statement said both sides agreed to respect each other's "core interests, but "the phrase 'core interests' had caused certain difficulties and misunderstandings," Burghardt said, pointing to China's territorial claims over the South China Sea.
Burghardt's schedule included meetings with President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九), National Security Council Secretary-General Hu Wei-jen (胡為真) and Democratic Progressive Party Chairperson Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文), among others.
Burghardt said this year's Joint Statement had led some people to raise questions over Washington's stance on cross-strait political negotiations, primarily over the part that said: "[T]he US looks forward to efforts by both sides to increase dialogues and interactions in economic, political and other fields."
That part of the statement, which also appeared in the 2009 Joint Statement, has raised concerns that it was not in line with one of the "six assurances" issued in 1982 that the US would not push Taiwan to enter political -negotiations with China.
Burghardt said the US position was that "we don't play any role as mediators, [and] have no interests to be mediators between the two sides of the strait."
"We take no position on the negotiations between the two parties. The subjects that they negotiate are completely up to the two sides to decide — and very specifically up to Taiwan to decide," Burghardt said.
"We have no impatience about it [political talks]. When to talk about subjects that could be described as political subjects is completely something [for] President Ma, the government and people of Taiwan to decide," Burghardt said.
The nature of political talks "does not necessarily refer to sovereignty" in terms of China's claims of sovereignty over Taiwan, but could, as per Washington's definition, refer to "Taiwan's participation in international organizations."
On Taiwan's requests to purchase F-16C/D fighter jets from the US, Burghardt said "it is still an open question," adding that Washington would make its decision based on "threats to Taiwan" and "discussions with the leadership in Taiwan."
Burghardt declined to comment on the progress of the evaluations.
"We will see. We just don't talk about it until we do it. That's really the answer. We are in talks with Taiwan," he said. "We look for the right time to do things."

My everyday evening skincare routine10:05:00 PM
Hi there!
Lately I've realized that a lot of the things that seem common sense to me (because I read about it so much), are not exactly that obvious to everyone else. And that maybe I should share more of what I do skincare-wise and not only review products (which I will obviously still do, because I enjoy it so much). So today I thought I would start with sharing my everyday skincare routine.
And yes, that's my new beautiful baby in the right corner.
I won't be sharing my face in this post, so you'll just have to imagine everything, but I'll try to explain everything as good as I can. If you have any questions or comments - please leave them in the comment section below this post :) .
1. First thing I like to do, when I have a face full of make up, is wetting my eyes. I just take a little bit of water and press it into my eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and maybe eyebrows. This way everything melts off so much easier and I won't have to pull on my skin or my eyelashes. That's also the reason why I never use waterproof make up - I like everything to come off with no effort.
2. Then I wet my little make up removing sponge I bought at Carrefour for like 2 pln ($0,50), put one pump of my Bioderma Purifying Cleansing Foaming Gel (or any other gel, this is what I happen to be using at the moment), foam it up, and then I wash my face with it. If I feel the need to, I do it twice or even three times, but usually one is enough.
3. I like my skin to be really clean, so just washing it with a gel is not enough for me. After that, I take some of my micellar water on a cotton pad (AA Cosmetics Micellar Water for dry to normal skin) and cleanse my skin one more time. This time I also remove my eye make up - it's usually so damp by this time, most of it comes off with one swipe. I usually do this step twice, focusing on my eyes the second time. I also cleanse my neck and chest area.
4. When I finally feel like my skin is clean - I use a toner. I'm currently using this one from Nivea - Soothing Toner for dry and sensitive skin. A toner will replenish the skin with what cleansers wipe off. In this case - moisture. It will also remove any traces of make up left - and usually there is some, no matter how clean my skin feels. I really notice a difference when I'm using a toner, plus it's a very pleasant experience!
5. Next step - a serum. It's important to use a serum before your creams, as it's usually very light and wouldn't sink into the skin as well if you put it on top of a thick night cream. It will provide many benefits to your skin, depending on what you choose. I usually put three drops of it on my face and one on my neck and chest area and gently rub it in. This one is Intelligent Skin Therapy in Phytoflavon.
6. This is probably a more common step in a skincare routine. I feel like even if you're not into skincare, you would at least cleanse and moisturize. So this is what I'm currently using as my night cream - Nivea Pure & Natural Regenerating Night Cream. I take a little and spread (or pat) it all over my face, neck and chest area.
7. I also always use an eye cream. It's, honestly, one of the things I never skip, no matter how tired I am. I'm currently using AA Cosmetics 30+ Moisturizing and Smoothing eye cream. Yes, I'm not 30+ yet, but I believe these numbers are mostly just for marketing reasons and you should more care about what it does and the ingredients, than what the packaging says.
8. And the last step in my skincare routine is an eyelash serum. It's My Lash Serum from Etude House and I have to say - it's a big favourite. I used to not believe in eye lash serums, but this one seems to really work. My lashes look better and are longer - at least that's what I think.
If I feel like I really need some more moisture, I would also pat a few drops of oil on top of my night cream. I'm currently using just a baby oil and it works just fine. It locks the night cream in, and it's also very moisturizing itself, I highly recommend trying it.
What is more, I always try to scrub my face at least once or twice a week, and do a mask, also once or twice a week.
I know it seems like a lot, but it's not really that bad. It's a very pleasant experience in my opinion and it also really makes a difference. I noticed my skin really changing after I started doing this. I highly recommend trying it and you'll see for yourself. If you don't like it, you can just stop :).
I really hope you enjoyed this post. If you have any questions or want to know my thoughts on any of these products, or anything at all - just tell me in the comments. Thank you so much for reading and see you in my next post! xoxo

Laura Robson reckons working with Andy Murray's ex-coach has made her job fun again.
The British No 1 split with Zeljko Krajan last month - and the Croatian then accused the teenager of lacking maturity and commitment.
Robson is now on a trial run with Miles Maclagan, the former Davis Cup player who worked with Murray for three years until 2010.
And Robson, who won Olympic silver with Murray in the mixed doubles in her last Wimbledon appearance, said: "I think you have to get on with your coach because you're spending so much time together.
"Even when I'm at home we're still together the majority of the day, so you do have to bond over stuff and I think having mutual interests helps a lot. We both like watching golf. He's golf-obsessed.
"We are having a laugh though we've had some very good training sessions as well and on court it's definitely no laughing.
"My last coach was Croatian, so we just didn't watch any of the same TV. As minor as that sounds, it does make a bit of a difference.
Maclagan helped Murray to two Grand Slam finals. And Robson, who faces No 10 seed Maria Kirilenko in the first round on Tuesday, said: "I chose him because I felt that tactically he was a very good coach and he has a lot of experience on tour as well, which is what I was looking for."

"There are few places that will give you the same kind of tools to do well in life that MMA has to offer."
"I would recommend MMA to students who want to excel as a leader and create a strong foundation for their future."
— Aboira Irumudomon of Orlando, Florida, Delta Company
"There are few places that will give you the same kind of tools to do well in life that MMA has to offer. By coming here, I have gained the skills it takes to be both a successful student and the meaning of a true leader — putting others before myself, and to always set the example."
— Caleb Reynolds of McAllen, Texas, Alpha Company
"After I have been here for so long, I can say that I stand up for the things I believe in. MMA has taught me to be very strong morally."
— Gabriel Gonzales of Galveston, Texas, Delta Company
"MMA allows boys the opportunity to become men. Without it, I would be just another student trying to get into college, but because of MMA, I have schools fighting over me."
— Michael McGraw of Dallas, Texas, Alpha Company
"I would recommend MMA as a challenge to anybody who wishes to better themselves mentally, physically and academically. MMA has taught me drill, military bearing and work ethic; all of which has made me more responsible, a higher achiever, and, ultimately, a better leader."
— Robert Pearson, Jr. of Las Vegas, Nevada, Delta Company
"[My son] is much better suited to succeed in life having had part of his life's journey stop at MMA."
"We are very proud of MMA and the foundation our boys received there. After graduating from the Marine Military Academy in 2000 and 2003, respectively, they both completed their education at The Citadel Military Academy of South Carolina. Matthew graduated in May of 2007 from their civil engineering program and is working for a top-notch company! Nicholas graduated from the Citadel School of Business Administration and is also working his way up the career ladder, and doing it very quickly! We are very proud of both our sons and their roots at MMA. Chase and I continue to recommend parents to send their boys there because we know the value of it."
— Chase and Jacklyn Lang
"Dear Sgt J, It goes beyond belief what you and SGM Wilson did to encourage my son and lead him toward the right path in life. My wife and I are eternally grateful. I will never forget when I brought Marty to MMA and told SGM Wilson that Marty was lucky to graduate from Pittsfield High School. His grades were just about passible and his attendance was not very good. SGM Wilson told me not to worry and that he would hone him up. Well, now Marty was voted cadet of the month for September and carries a 3.8 GPA at The Citadel. He is also vice president of their honor society. None of this could ever have happened without the guidance that you and SGM Wilson showed my son. God bless MMA."
—Art Butler, MSG USA(RET)
"Dissatisfied with our son's current school, his mother and I did some research and landed on the Marine Military Academy website. This was our first glimpse into the vast possibilities for him. We were thoroughly impressed with its promise of aiding young men in reaching their full potential, its emphasis on Marine Corps values and its excellent reputation for producing college-ready young men, so we scheduled a campus visit and were simply blown away.
The staff and faculty exude professionalism and seriousness of purpose. We found them sincere and encouraging in setting expectations that ensured the school was a good fit for him.
In short, the results we were looking for were immediate and have surpassed what we hoped for him — so much so that we enrolled our youngest son, as well, so that he can have the same opportunities and the experience of a lifetime. MMA has been a blessing for our family."
— Tony and Trudy Hubbard
"We first looked at MMA for Logan because he was not being challenged enough in public school. Once he arrived at MMA as a freshman, he was challenged beyond our expectations. Now, as a sophomore, he has experienced more than any senior in public school. He will be Soloing (Air Wing) and getting his TDL (Texas Drivers License) all in March, as well as his Eagle Scout in May. MMA has broadened Logan's horizons more than any of us expected. It is hard to let go, but once you do, your child soars!"
— Ms. Kelley K. Workman
"I understand that successful individuals and leaders are not born; they are developed and shaped through their environment and their interactions with those around them. To be a leader or a morally strong individual who can make decisions, one must have a solid academic background, positive role models and a structured environment with discipline, if needed.
My 12-year old son had none of the above when he started at MMA. He was in public school and wasn't being challenged, and things were out of control. Against his wishes, I enrolled him in summer camp and after a few weeks, he didn't want to leave. He returned to camp the following year, and then, made the choice to start school there.
My son will graduate from MMA soon and I am proud of him and all he has accomplished. He is not the same individual. He now has goals, confidence, respect for himself and others, integrity and the willingness to do what it takes to be the best he can be."
— Colleen Carlton Dunn
"My son was 12, unhappy at his current school and the Marine Corps emphasis at MMA was a big draw to him. We decided to let him start school there the following year.
Today, he's a senior and there have been no regrets; we would not change a thing. He's learned several valuable life lessons such as accountability, not only for himself, but also for his fellow cadets, as well as effective leadership and time management skills.
Additionally, there is a strong mentorship on campus. The DIs and other key personnel become surrogate parents, a critical role and one that we value greatly. They see the ups and downs, resolve conflict, cheer him on when we can't be there and tend to him in the middle of the night if he is sick. There is a trust and true bond that comes with this relationship. Our son has been at MMA for five years, and his admiration, trust, respect and love of these good men are making him the man he will become."
— Mrs. Joan K. McGraw
"On my son Drew's first day, he shared his aspirations of becoming a Cadet Battalion Commander with Gunny Martinez who said, "Well, we'll see what you've got."
Four years later, he graduated as Battalion Commander, as well as valedictorian, president of numerous organizations, Eagle Scout, varsity wrestler, private pilot, SCUBA certified and with other awards and accolades, but he didn't get there on his own. Gunny believed in my son and ensured that he believed in himself. He put him in positions to learn, fail, succeed and lead and, ultimately, helped him become a man.
Additionally, Drew was courted by the school of his choice — the Coast Guard Academy — which happens to be the hardest school in the nation to get into, statistically.
Thank you for the opportunities you afforded my young man. He is much better suited to succeed in life having had part of his life's journey stop at MMA."
— Bill Hasbrook
"MMA has a way of scratching through the surface to reveal the young man you really are."
"Thanks to MMA, I am where I am today — a powerful, positive asset for a successful company who is able to give back to the institution that gave so much to me. Upon graduation from my local high school, my next goal was to be accepted to and graduate from the Naval Academy. However, I found myself lacking the skills and knowledge needed to be considered a solid candidate. That's when a family friend informed me of MMA's Postgraduate Program...and the rest is history!
The education and experience I gained in one year at MMA made a huge difference in my career pathway. I learned the skills and techniques necessary to be successful in college and life, gained acceptance to, and completed my education at, the Naval Academy, served our country and returned home to work my way up the corporate ladder to where I am today, a leader and executive of The McIntyre Group, President of the Collegium Charter School Foundation Board, and Board Trustee of the United States Naval Academy Alumni Association and Marine Military Academy's Board.
I wholeheartedly endorse MMA's Postgraduate Program for any young man who is up to MMA's tough academic, physical and moral challenge!"
—Thomas Kolongowski, Class of 1982
"My personal experience at MMA was incredibly rewarding, but even more intriguing in my mind, was that of my family. My older brother (Class of 2003), myself ('05), and my younger brother ('09) all attended MMA for our final three years of high school. Though I didn't realize it at the time, each one of us went for very different reasons.
More than one of us needed to build confidence, another needed to learn social structure, and we all needed to learn leadership. MMA taught all of us exactly what we needed it to.
It starts with learning how to lead ourselves. I don't think that's a lesson to be taken lightly and MMA made sure we mastered it. Then, and only then, are we able to lead others. Although I didn't want to admit it until years later, it was immediately apparent to my friends, coworkers, family members, and yes, even myself, that MMA was shaping me for the better. I'm not aware of another school that would have molded me or my brothers into better people than this one. All three of us are now leaders in completely different arenas and know that we couldn't have done it as easily or quickly had we not spent that time at MMA."
—Scott Miller, Class of 2005
"I have incredibly fond memories of my time and experiences at the Marine Military Academy and cannot fully explain all of the ways that it impacted, and continues to impact, my life. I spent five of the most formative years at MMA, and in many ways, I grew up there.
There is no doubt in my mind that the things that I learned at the MMA changed my life for the better. To this day, the way that I organize my time, operate in business and deal with my own family are all heavily influenced by the things and tools that I gained at MMA. I learned a lot about how to structure and manage my time and important lessons about leadership styles and how to apply them in different situations. Most importantly, I acquired a self-confidence that persists and continues to open doors in my everyday life. I know that when I set out to accomplish something, I can do it. The Marine Military Academy gave me that, and I am grateful for every day I spent there.
I would and do recommend it whenever possible and would not hesitate to send my own son there."
— Trey Colvin, Class of 1996
"After graduating from the Marine Military Academy in 1975, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Texas A&M and then enrolled at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. Today, I am a board certified emergency room physician in Bryan, Texas at St. Joseph's HospitaI and attribute my success to the study habits and life experiences I had at MMA."
— Frank Colunga, Class of 1975
"On the surface, I wasn't quite acceptable for MMA standards going in, but MMA has a way of scratching through the surface to reveal the young man you really are. The discipline I experienced at MMA manifested itself into the self-discipline needed for college and eventually the starting of my own business, which has been succeeding since its inception in 1996. The experience stays with you."
— Joseph Bowman, Class of 1984

Discussion in 'Transformers Animated Discussion' started by newguy, Jun 22, 2008.
sorry guys i love animated now.
Animated is not G1.
That's basically all you need to know.
What the fuck are you talking about?
If you mean something about Animated being conected to G1, it isn't, whoever said that is either lying or took the first movie's homage movie too seriously.
Its not hard to be confused, animated is in no way connected storywise to G1, G1 is FINISHED and animated is its own continuity.
Yeah, don't try and fit Animated in with G1...all you will do is give yourself a headache
G1 is G1, and Animated is Animated.
They are all (every time line/continuity) different and unique in their own right.
Except Beast Wars, they just had to G1Whore it out.
Okay, I heard my name.
*Reads first post*
Uh... what? I'm not sure I follow. I think you're confused. And what's this got to do with me? Are you like... calling me out or something? Or are you trying to troll a flame outta me?
At least he didn't call me Splat Lip.
That sentence is so inexplicably rude I dare not touch it.
Nah, seriously, BW rocked because it was basically G1 300 years in the future gone back 4 million years. Plus, wouldn't it be G1 whoring out to BW since it was the past continuity being revisited?
Jeez that sounded so wrong.
I don't care about BW, I only liked the crab toy anyway, and it wasn't Rampage.
BW sucked for me because there wasn't a single character (except maybe Megatron but everybody likes him, doesn't count) that I liked, and the soundtrack bothered me.
The soundtrack rocked. Maybe today it's a bit over the top but back then that shit was da bomb. And so was Rampage. (next to OPOP, he had the most vehicle-ish vehicle mode of them all)
And I can't beleive you didn't like Inferno! That dude was so crazy-murderer.
And yes, everyone likes Megatron, but yeah, it's a given at this point.
I hate ants.
No seriously, I HATE ants, more than Bonecrusher hates everything.
And I just hated the style of the Soundtrack, not a fan of jungle-ish you see? And the EVIL THING APPROACHES theme was soooooo generic, I swear I heard it before in SNES games.
I once battled an entire army of ants(they started it) and I still think they're dandy.
Don't know what you have against them.
Of, come on, ants are adowable.
They're fine.
When they AIN'T getting close to my *insert ANY food there*
But I admit setting up watery traps is always fun.
... *Runs off to another thread.*
Uhh... what?
First, Animated is not the original series (Generation 1 or G1). Just like RID was not G1 nor was the Unicron Trilogy (Armada, Energon & Cybertron) G1 and neither was the live action movie. None of them are connected to the original series at all.
Animated is it's own universe with it's own continuity and it's not related to G1. That's really all you need to know.
That's for you:
Not connected to G1 and not even The Live Action movie. It's going to be around for awhile.
Hey Split Lip!!
But yeah, Animated is a new continuity. Though I wouldn't be surprised if TakaraTOMY somehow write it into their giant gestalt continuity.
Hey Split Lip!! My post propogated!!
Separate names with a comma.

Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Narcotic Detectives seize 20 pound haul of methamphetamine
PHOENIX – Sheriff Joe Arpaio says two suspects have been arrested and 20 pounds of methamphetamine were seized following an investigation by narcotic detectives in the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
Juan Carlos Soto-Neris, 26 (DOB 10/1/87) and Jorge Cecilio Bernal-Araujo, 43 (DOB 4/28/70), were arrested on January 14, 2013 by Sheriff's deputies in an area near West Encanto Blvd and 83rd Avenue in Phoenix. Soto-Neris was the driver of a vehicle transporting two large bags of a white substance that field tested positive for methamphetamine. K-9 units from the Sheriff's Office were on hand to assist in the arrest.
"Over 26 pounds of meth have been seized by my detectives in the last five days. We also made several arrests in a marijuana dispensary case late last week," says Sheriff Arpaio. "These arrests and seizures are leading up to an impending crackdown by this office against street level drug dealers and users."
Both suspects were booked into 4th Avenue Jail on the following charges: Possession of Dangerous Drugs, a Class 4 Felony, Possession of Dangerous Drugs For Sale, a Class 2 Felony, and Transport for Sale a Dangerous Drug, a Class 2 Felony. ICE officials have placed holds on the two suspects.
Sheriff's detectives suspect the drugs were brought in from Mexico.
The only identification documents which both suspects had in their possession at the time of their arrests were apparently issued from Mexico.

Kilkenny hurler Richie Hogan has tweeted his disgust at a buy and sell ad for his 2011 All-Ireland winning jersey - saying it's a fake.
The Cats' left corner forward featured in the 2011 final against Tipperary, scoring a remarkable goal as the team overcame Tipp 2-17 to 1-16. Hogan would go on to win an All-Star award later that year.
But after finding a DoneDeal advert supposedly for the legend's kit that he wore on the day, Hogan wasn't sure which was worse - the fact that it was a fake or the asking price.
He posted a picture of the deal and said: "Don't know what annoyed me more, sum1 selling a my FAKE jersey or the fact he is only looking for €1 for it :-D"
We take this to mean that Richie, 25, still has the top in his possession, but the ad claims otherwise.
It says: "He lifted Liam in this jersey. Lovely collectors (sic) piece.
"Serious offers only please!"
It adds: "May consider swaps."
Swaps for what, the Liam McCarthy Cup?? You're not going to find many things more valuable than that jersey, we're afraid...

This is a sweet little hanky that I says is pink but has almost a violet hue to it. There is some flowers (possibly roses) in one of the corners. Overall size is 10 ½" x 11" with no stains, rips or holes.
I love my vintage hankies that are just another way of being green. I always carry one to use instead of throw away tissues and they each have a certain personality. Think of it as clothes for the nose!

The county's satellite district court in Aberdeen -- the last of its kind in Maryland -- will close Dec. 31.
State officials, saying the facility at 58 N. Parke St. is no longer cost-effective, want to transfer its operations to the county's main district court building in Bel Air.
But Aberdeen officials are not happy with the state's decision to close the satellite facility. They say they understand the state's need to reduce costs, but they don't think cuts should come at their expense.

Gray countries with texture denote areas of future engagement.
Wildlife knows no boundaries. So AWF has defined areas across the continent that are critical to conservation. These Priority Landscapes can cover public and private lands alike and often cross borders.
526,000 hectares (2,031 sq. mi.)
Dja Faunal Reserve
Dja River
The Dja Landscape is located in southeastern Cameroon. At its core lies the Dja Faunal Reserve, which is both a World Heritage Site and an Important Bird Area. It contains over 1,500 known plant species and nearly 350 resident bird species. Additionally, Dja has over 100 types of mammals, including the endangered chimpanzee, the critically endangered western lowland gorilla, the vulnerable giant pangolin and the endangered forest elephant. The region is also home to the Baka Pygmies, who are considered its original inhabitants, and who rely on the forest and traditional hunting and gathering for their survival.
Tags: West/Central Africa, Elephant, Chimpanzee
Many threats linger along the edges of the Dja Faunal Reserve. Concessions have brought mining and logging operations to Dja's doorstep, while poor demarcation of boundaries has led to them actually entering the Reserve in some places.
Commercial agriculture like the cultivation of rubber, cocoa and palm oil is also present around Dja. As these activities continue to expand, they put greater and greater pressure on the Dja Faunal Reserve—leading to deforestation and habitat fragmentation.
As the extraction and agricultural industries grow, they also bring about the construction of new infrastructure, like roads. What's more, they're attracting more and more people in search of employment. For Dja, this has proven a dangerous combination.
The area's commercial bushmeat trade, which was already on the rise, has only been further exacerbated to meet the demand of these growing workforces. The new road networks have made poaching easier, not only posing a threat to the species hunted for their meat, but also to the area's endangered forest elephants. With poaching across the continent at an all-time high, Dja's elephant population is now more vulnerable than ever.
The Dja Services de Conservation (SdC), which manages the Dja Faunal Reserve, has not received adequate resources or capacity building to enable proper management of the reserve. A lack of fundamental equipment, transportation, communication systems and even power has greatly hobbled its ability to operate.
The combination of threats to the reserve, and SdC's inability to adequately combat them have caused UNESCO's World Heritage Committee to warn that Dja Faunal Reserve could be placed on the World Heritage Sites in Danger list in 2016, unless appropriate conservation action is taken immediately.
Our solutions to safeguarding this World Heritage Site:
Making sure the extraction and agricultural industries around Cameroon's Dja Faunal Reserve operate in ways that don't damage the reserve is essential. AWF is therefore working to assess the upcoming large-scale development of these entities, and to strategize ways to work with stakeholders in the area to make sure construction still benefits people without hurting wildlife.
In order to fully understand the current state of the Dja Faunal Reserve, AWF will complete an ecological baseline survey, which will be followed by annual updates on the state of the reserve. These updates will also be shared with UNESCO.

Routine eye examinations are an important component of preventive health care. There are many conditions that could affect the health of the eye that have no obvious signs or symptoms. An integral part of maintaining good vision and eye health is screening for early presentation of eye diseases so that proper treatment and monitoring can begin to prevent vision loss when possible.
There are many parts to a comprehensive eye exam starting with a thorough patient health history to determine systemic health problems, medications and risk factors that can influence ocular health. Preliminary testing is performed by our technicians and includes a visual acuity, evaluation of depth perception, muscle movement, and correctable visual acuity obtainable by the patient's visual system. The doctor will then assess the entire eye through the use of magnifying instruments.
Additional testing may be needed based on the exam finding to confirm, rule out, or track various problems related to the eye. At the completion of the eye examination, the doctor will discuss the nature of any eye health or visual problems that were found and provide information and options on the best treatment plans.
Call our office at 800-537-3327 to schedule your eye exam today!

I might have the Twilight Saga movies to blame for how I've been feeling over the last few days about my marriage. Well that and those darn raging hormones.
As much as I know that I don't live in a young adult novel, part of me wishes that my husband had the same level of lust, love, or "I can't live without you" feeling that is probably driving my recent Edward Cullen obsession. Sure, the fights have been on a steady decline, and we are actually laughing and enjoying each other's company.
But I have to wonder: Is getting along enough?
A long time ago, before I understood the responsibility of kids and family, I always hated the song Love the One You're With because I felt like it meant you were settling.
I thought that it was better to be alone then to be in a relationship when you're not in love.
But after marriage and kids, I'm not exactly sure what "in love" really means. I see lots of couples who hold hands when they're out, make romantic Facebook updates, or just express their love in a way that's visible to other people.
Does that mean they're "in love?"
Or is it when you feel like you couldn't go on without your partner, or you couldn't imagine life without him in your life?
I honestly don't know, which means I probably wouldn't know even if I decided to end my marriage and seek it out, unless it's this feeling or understanding that cannot be described in words.
And then the question is, am I willing to risk what's turning out to be a good life and my kids' happiness to figure out whether this is love? Am I even capable of that kind of love with anyone?
Probably not. But that doesn't mean I don't sometimes wonder if it could be different.
How do you know that you're "in love?"

The Law Officer's Pocket Manual - Bloomberg BNA
This handy 4" x 6" spiral-bound manual offers examples showing how rules are...
The New York Police Department has abandoned a secretive program that dispatched plainclothes detectives into Muslim neighborhoods to eavesdrop on conversations and built detailed files on where people ate, prayed and shopped, the department said, reports the New York Times.
The decision by the nation's largest police force to shutter the controversial surveillance program represents the first sign that William J. Bratton, the department's new commissioner, is backing away from some of the post-9/11 intelligence-gathering practices of his predecessor. The Police Department's tactics, which are the subject of two federal lawsuits, drew criticism from civil rights groups and a senior official with the Federal Bureau of Investigation who said they harmed national security by sowing mistrust for law enforcement in Muslim communities.
To many Muslims, the squad, known as the Demographics Unit, was a sign that the police viewed their every action with suspicion. The police mapped communities inside and outside the city, logging where customers in traditional Islamic clothes ate meals and documenting their lunch-counter conversations.
The Demographics Unit, which was renamed the Zone Assessment Unit in recent years, has been largely inactive since Mr. Bratton took over in January, the department's chief spokesman, Stephen Davis, said. The unit's detectives were recently reassigned.
Butch @ 4/17/2014 6:26 PM
It totally amazes me that people are so upset about someone is attempting to protect the people of this country. I don't care what they do to protect this nation to protect us both domestic and foreign.Maybe someone should form a private group and do it. Police can't but civilians can. And just like anything else, if you find a crime or one that may be going to occur. Just walk into your local Police Dept and turn the information over to them.
Retired and glad @ 4/17/2014 8:18 PM
This is another example of Islam using the media's and politicians fear to be found in violation of political correctness that they abandon their duty to protect our Constitution and the citizens that our founding fathers and soldiers in numerous ward sacrificed for.
Capt. Crunch @ 4/17/2014 8:19 PM
Very simple just change the squad name of the plainclothes officers to " Muslim community organizers ". This way the police could help the good Muslims and arrest the bad ones.
But Harry Reid, calls the Bundy's "Domestic Terrorists" anyone who's anti-Agenda 21 etc. Anyone who's anti-Climate Change aka Global Warming is a Flat Earther. Being as the leader in the WH sends Firearms, F-15's to pro-Muslim Brotherhood Nations, it makes you wonder if "Were the bad guys?"But Christans/Jews and anyone who's a Nationalist, instead of a Globalist is a "Domestic Terrorist."The POTUS doesn't mine helping radical Islam. It's US citizens who he loathes! Along with LEOs, War Vets, and people who are white.

Ok, lets focus on those dangerous terrorist called the Brownies!! Them and the upper elite cadre, The Girl Scouts of America, should be closely watched! Oh yeah, with those sneaky little "cookie" boxes all over the city. I'm sure Bratton is more concerned with them then with a mass of "death to the infidels" believers. I mean really, what have the Muslims ever done to us???? I mean besides killing over three thousand New Yorkers in one day. Blues, Stay Safe.

A week after officially announcing its exclusive agreement with the Major League Baseball Players Association, Take-Two Interactive today announced that the deal is expanded to include Major League Baseball Properties (MLBP) and Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM), which handle the MLB's parks, Clubs, online media, and other branded properties.
Additionally, Take-Two has signed Yankees All-Star shortstop Derek Jeter as a long-term spokesman and cover athlete for the upcoming line of 2K Sports titles.
"I'm excited to be partnering with an industry leader like Take-Two and I look forward to working together to take the video game experience to the next level for baseball fans," said Jeter.
Take-Two's exclusive agreement with the MLB, set to begin in Spring 2006, allows for competing MLB games created by first-party developers (i.e., console manufacturers Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo), but excludes other third-parties from using MLB properties. The addition of the MLBP and MLBAM to the agreement gives Take-Two game rights to all 30 Major League Baseball Clubs, MLB players, Major League ballparks and Minor League Baseball Clubs, as well as MLB.com online content.
"The combination of Take-Two's position as a leading video game publisher and distributor, and our experience with Visual Concepts in creating high quality games, makes this an ideal partnership for Major League Baseball," said Howard Smith of MLBP. "Take-Two's plans to introduce more game titles and to distribute them throughout the year, including the key holiday-selling season, will provide baseball fans with exciting and compelling interactive entertainment year-round."
Take-Two plans a variety of titles based on the MLB brand, including arcade, simulation, and manager-style games. We'll be back with more as soon as new details and title announcements come in.

From small hidden eggs to creeping, fuzzy caterpillars to silky, transparent cocoons to bold, beautiful butterflies, Lois Elhert reveals nature's miraculous transformation in Waiting for Wings. The dramatic collages, drenched in vibrant color, are creatively arranged on uniquely shaped pages. The layout adds to the fun and sense of wonder, as each page grows in size, ultimately revealing the coming of spring and with it, the full-grown butterfly. The simple, rhyming text provides children and adults alike a glimpse into the life cycle of four common butterflies.
From the very first page, Waiting for Wings challenges children to explore the art for tiny eggs clinging to leaves with "butterfly glue." Next, the differing shapes and colors of caterpillars chomp leaves (actual holes in the pages!) as they crawl across the flora, searching for safe, out-of-the-way places to make cocoons. There, tiny bodies and wings grow and wiggle inside the caterpillar cases as the pages themselves appear to bloom with color.
Spring has finally arrived! Butterflies "pump their wings," "unroll their tongues" and begin "dipping and sipping." Finally, they flutter across the fields, ready to lay eggs and start the whole process all over again.
Eye-catching art, imaginative design and descriptive text are not the only reasons children and adults will be anxious to read this book again and again. The last few pages reveal detailed descriptions of each caterpillar, butterfly and flower pictured throughout the book. It also provides a Butterfly Information page that labels specific body parts of the insect, explains how it begins life and how it eats. The last page offers ideas on growing your own butterfly garden. Imagine the fun parents and children can share on a sunny day, exploring their own garden while identifying the caterpillars, butterflies and flowers found there!
This isn't the first time Lois Ehlert has created an eye-popper. She also wrote and illustrated Hands, the visually enchanting, hand-shaped book about a child's delight in helping Mom and Dad. Another don't-miss is her Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf, brimming with color and information on the life cycle of a sugar maple. But for now, as the days grow longer, celebrate the arrival of spring (and butterflies) with Waiting for Wings.

Introduction. Lyme disease is an emerging worldwide infectious disease with major foci of endemicity in North America and regions of temperate Eurasia. The erythema migrans rash associated with early infection is found in approximately 80% of patients and can have a range of appearances including the classic target bull's-eye lesion and nontarget appearing lesions. Methods. A survey was designed to assess the ability of the general public to distinguish various appearances of erythema migrans from non-Lyme rashes. Participants were solicited from individuals who visited an educational website about Lyme disease. Results. Of 3,104 people who accessed a rash identification survey, 72.7% of participants correctly identified the classic target erythema migrans commonly associated with Lyme disease. A mean of 20.5% of participants was able to correctly identify the four nonclassic erythema migrans. 24.2% of participants incorrectly identified a tick bite reaction in the skin as erythema migrans. Conclusions. Participants were most familiar with the classic target erythema migrans of Lyme disease but were unlikely to correctly identify the nonclassic erythema migrans. These results identify an opportunity for educational intervention to improve early recognition of Lyme disease and to increase the patient's appropriate use of medical services for early Lyme disease diagnosis.

Wary 0.7: modem fix
September 20, 2010 — BarryKRerwin has advised me that the last modem -7.5 PET was a step too far and may have broken things. My post on -7.5:
Rerwin has advised me what to roll back to fix it, so I have created a PET, modem_fix_wary070-1.pet, get it from here:
I'm not sure, you might have to reboot after installing the PET.
I'll be mostly offline for a couple of days, but will keep working on Puppy stuff. I will be continuing to help my relative paint a house. She does have a wireless Optus dongle so I can get online to read blog posts etc.

Hi Barry as painting goes I was a professional painter back in Canada for about 10+ yr's. Too bad I'm not in your area I would lend a hand. Actually for the past 5 months or so I've been helping building a very large church and now they have me painting it for the next 6 or 7 weeks. The best finish for cutting in is always done with a good brush, I only use purdy or wooster products, wooster is a bit better than purdy, but both do the job really well. Both are made in the USA but don't buy them in Australia, a good purdy brush is around $50+ but if you buy them on ebay in the USA you can get a box of 10 for about $100, Sure they are factory seconds, but all that means is that it might be scratched or have a dent on the metal, It doesn't change the quality of the brush. Usually I can paint about 20+ houses with two Purdy brushes. They make really produce nice fine lines, great for when painting doors and you go to Lay-off the paint. Plus Wooster paint poles and roller cages don't break, They have a lifetime warranty. One model of wooster brush has handle that you can bend to the shape of your hand, That stops hand cramps. :) well Its always nice doing things for others. ttuuxxx

"Hi Barry and I guess Rerwin I feel very honoured that you are taking an interest in my little problem.....and taking the time and trouble to find solutions - many thanks. I've tried applying the .pet and am sorry to report that it doesn't seem to have helped - still get a process crash and Killed report if I use modem-stats. I notice from the dmesg outputs that different versions are using different IRQ nmubers - don't know if this is significant? If you would like me to send diagnostics like dmesg output to anybody - just let me know. Enjoy the painting - its very satisfying and therapeutic I find.

"I have been using 4.3.1. Good: no problem with my Huawei E1600 USB modem Bad: such a hassle to install apps i don't bother. so 4.3.1 is for surfing only then 5.1.0 Good: Modem still recognised. Can install packages with little fuss and even just unstuff them and run from the name binary Bad: intermittent crashes. Sometimes the modem won't work then 5.1.1 Good: can still install apps pretty well. Seems faster. groovy funky ICE gear Bad: couldn't find the modem if it had whooping cough in a trappist monestary. requires so much fiddling to get it working it defeats the purpose of the operating system to my mind. So. Am i wasting my time downloading 5.25? I'm not rich and I use a prepaid service so 128MB or so may not be much to some of you but it is to me. i don't want to download it if it's just more of the same. Yes, i've looked through your bulletin boards until my eyes crossed with all the jargonese. there are outdated boards from a year ago. There are threads that start dealing with this specific issue then they wander off topic so far it's not worth reading them. 20 or more pages with maybe 50 posts on each page? I just want a simple answer to a simple question. And I'm not a 'noob' either. i've been sampling ixes since xenix! So I can imagine real beginners will just give up looking.

"For mine the modem issue is one of the *main* issues of the operating system. Everything these days is on the net and I disagree with a poster who said that if they can't get online with pup or win they'll use a friend's connection and get puppy. No.A lot will just say "forget it" and move on. People aren' that devoted. And the poster who's banner says "It's not windows, stop trying to make it so" is wrong. It is a windows based (as in windows - descriptor not brand) operating system. It's the wrong attitude to display unless you want to stay an exclusive little club rather than a widespread competitor to winslop. Mums and Dads don't give a wet spaniel about the ins and outs of the kernel or spending half their lives re-compiling an app. Gotta avoid the bloat trap and make it a simple OS that works properly or you might as well change your name to Ubuntu Oh and well done making people search all over the place before they can even ask you a question here (the mascot name). Why do you place obstacles in the way of getting more users?
Re Huawei modem

"captain thingo, Do you mean Lucid Puppy 5.1.x, or Wary Puppy 5.1.x? They are quite different in terms of the wireless USB support. Lucid Puppy is built from an older Woof. I think that rerwin had an upgrade for modems that was considered for inclusion in Lucid 5.2.5 but there were issues so that was deferred. Wary 5.1.1 is built from a recent Woof with substantial work to make wireless USB modem just plug-in-and-go. It works for my modems. The next Wary, probably 5.1.2 will have another upgrade for usb modem detection. Regarding the mascot name, that is an extra precaution against automated spammers and casual manual spammers. Besides, I dodn't want lots of posts on my blog, if someone can't be bothered to find out the Puppy mascot name, then good, I don't want their post. Another besides, most Puppy questions should go to the Puppy Forum, mostly it is developers who post here. If you have a problem with that, that is your problem.

A beautiful-sounding nylon string guitar with a hybrid neck.
The Orchestra Pro belongs to Cordoba's Fusion series, a line of high quality crossover or hybrid style nylon string guitars designed to play and feel like steel string acoustics. Although the Orchestra Pro is full-bodied, its shape is slightly altered from that of a traditional nylon string guitar, accented by a light mahogany binding. Like the other Fusion models, the Orchestra Pro's neck is carved thinner than traditional Spanish-style "classical" guitars, and has a nut width of 48mm or 1-7/8". These slimmer dimensions combined with a radiused fingerboard give the Fusion series guitars the feel and playability that most steel string and electric guitar players are used to. Tonally the Fusion series models have all the warmth, body, and resonance that traditional "classical" nylon string guitars are known for, and are built using traditional Spanish guitar methods like domed soundboards and fan bracing patterns in the design.
Additional features include cutaway and non-cutaway body styles, Fishman or BBand, 2-way adjustable truss rods, and Savarez Corum Alliance strings that offer the higher tension feel that most crossover players are looking for. Cordoba's Fusion series was first to effectively merge the feel of a steel string with the tone of a "classical" guitar, and with a variety of wood options and finishes is the most comprehensive line of crossover style nylon string hybrids on the market.
The Orchestra Pro is built with the classic combination of a solid European spruce and Indian rosewood back and sides. The neck has 12 frets to the body and an ebony fingerboard. The bridge and headstock overlay are made of rosewood, and the rosette is hand inlaid using maple and rosewood rings. With mahogany binding and a high-gloss PU finish, the Orchestra Pro is the perfect blend of traditional materials with modern aesthetic touches.
The Orchestra Pro is equipped with a BBand A2.2 pickup (mounted in the soundhole), which has a dual input/single output onboard preamp, and HZZLess for low noise/high output. The A2.2 includes the XOM technique with mix control to bring the best of the UST (undersaddle transducer) and AST characters together, resulting in a sound that is true to the Fusion Orchestra Pro's unique voice. This is the perfect guitar for the serious crossover player who is recording and playing live often.

Mornings are the worst part of the day for most of us, as we have to leave the comforts of our warm cosy surroundings to face the world again. Here at 4pm however, we have compiled a list of 6 smart phone/android apps that make mornings more manageable!
1. Alarm Clock Extreme
The first in our list is that of a conventional alarm clock with a twist! This simple yet creative alarm clock aims to ensure that you are woken from your slumber just the way you want. It allows you to slowly increase the alarm's volume to wake you up gently, set up the large snooze button so that it prompts you to solve math problems to dismiss the alarm or snooze and set the snooze period to decrease after each alarm and set a maximum number of snoozes to ensure you're out of bed in a timely manner. I know I could definitely use this of a Monday morning!!
2. Sunrise
The next App on our list is a web app that integrates Facebook, Google Calendar, LinkedIn, Eventbrite and more into a gorgeous morning digest. It goes down just as easy your morning Weetabix . The emails include weather information and your days events. At the bottom of each email, you'll find thumbnails of your friends who are celebrating their birthday that day!
3. Sworkit
If your a gym addict like myself but don't have time for a full morning workout then this App is exactly what you need! Sworkit offers circuit training workouts in chunks ranging from 5 to 60 minutes. The workouts focus on strength training, yoga or cardio and you can select a body area to focus on (or go for the full-body workout). The only equipment you need for the app is your own body and the app builds randomized circuit training workouts for you, so your muscles won't get used to a certain routine.
TED talks are a great way to start your day. Each talk lasts less than 20 minutes, these videos impart quick wisdom from scientists, educators, researchers, entrepreneurs, tech luminaries musicians and more. Perfect for any train/bus journey.
5. Guide
Guide is the futuristic robotic news reader that reads the news that is focused around you! All you need to do is sync your Facebook and Twitter feeds and Guide will look for article links, ignoring text or photo updates. These bits of news are great for consuming while you're in the shower, drinking your morning coffee or lying in bed for one last snooze interval.
6. Spotify
Ever wish you had a different playlist to listen to every morning but don't want to spend every night putting it together? Spotify is just what you are searching for. Press play on a fun playlist to wake yourself up and prep to face the day. You can subscribe to playlists like the Billboard Hot 100, subscribe to your tastemaker friends or compile your own playlist for easy listening! Boogey yourself on out the door every morning!
We hope this list makes every morning that little bit brighter for you! Remember to check back to our blog on a daily basis as we look to provide you with the latest news and trends.
Thanks for reading!


text: > > you can 'svn co http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/hobix/'. But it > is pretty much dead. I had a Junebug wiki, which I used much like a blog. I put all sorts of articles about programming and sysadmin etc. there. Now that South Africa has daily power outages though, I can't run it reliably at home any more and have been searching for an alternative. I have tried Blogger.com and Wordpress, but I cannot post syntax highlighted, properly formatted code on those sites without a huge amount of hassle (ie. I interpret it with Maruku and paste the html in the box). Is there any free online blogging service that can do Ruby syntax highlighting?? If not, and I can get access to my own server in a non-banana country, is there a Ruby blogging engine that can syntax highlight code and preferably accept posts in Markdown? Hobix looked promising.

Last year, Dark Horse Comics published one of the best Star Wars comics of the last decade -- Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison by Haden Blackman and Agustin Alessio. Early in the years of the Empire, the Rebellion is slowly gaining steam and an assassination attempt on Emperor Palpatine leaves Vader with only an upstart Imperial cadet as an ally to quell the uprising.
The series garnered much acclaim, even getting a nod in IGN's Best of 2012 Awards for Best Comic Book Mini-Series. This March, Dark Horse will be publishing a new hardcover collection for the series and to celebrate, the publisher has put together a badass new trailer, using 3D images rendered straight from Alessio's original interior artwork.
