SSC junior gets everybody buzzing
STANDISH — Being on a team or in a group isn't fun when your voice is never heard or you never get to play.
That was the case for Standish-Sterling Central High School's (SSC) Knowledge Bowl team when the group didn't have enough "buzzers" — buttons that contestants use to alert judges that they want to answer a question.
And even the buzzers they had were in poor condition.
"The buzzers that we had were pretty wore down, half of them were broken," said SSC Knowledge Bowl member Emily Polczynski.
So Polczynski took it upon herself to try to get more team-members involved in practices by seeking donations for a new buzzer system. Her first step was approaching SSC principal Mark Williams to get the O.K. to begin searching for funds.
"She wanted to set something up and take initiative herself," Williams said, adding that he gave her full support. "She got herself some community service hours as well."
SSC requires students to complete 40 hours of community service before graduating.
After getting the nod from the school administration, Polczynski, who is in Knowledge Bowl for her second year, sent a letter to Kiwanis of Standish, the Lions Club of Standish and Grace Episcopal Church in Standish. She told them in the letter that she had enough money to cover approximately half of the $550 cost of a new buzzer system and asked for help to provide the remainder of the funds.
"They gave me the rest of the money," Polczynski said.
The Knowledge Bowl coach, Jennifer Gehlmann, believes the new system will be a big boost for the team.
"The system we got has enough buzzers for 15 people, before we only had enough for 10. … It will allow more players to practice using buzzers," Gehlmann said. "That helps them with the quickness in competition."
Gehlmann said she was thankful for Polczynski's interest to get others involved.
"She's a smart kid and a hard worker," Gehlmann said.

I have dealt with syringomyelia since 2006 with steady increase of symptoms. Lately, I have been very scared because my left leg is becoming so numb that I am having trouble walking at times. I do not want to go towards surgery because of the being scared about the chance of waking up and being paralyzed. Is this the progression? Is there anyone who is now in a wheelchair due to this? Also, does anyone else have a problem with scratching yourself on your numb body parts until you bleed?

Publishers Flip Out, Call Bill To Provide Open Access To Federally Funded Works A 'Boondoggle'
from the gotta-lock-it-up dept
Thankfully, for years, there's been a law on the books for any NIH-funded research to guarantee that 12-months after publication, those works also had to be published openly. While some publishers have tried to game this system (such as by demanding a mandatory fee to "deposit" the work in an open access database), on the whole this has been hugely important in making sure that taxpayer funded research is actually available and can be built upon. Over the years, there have been multiple bills introduced in both directions on this issue. There have been some bills that sought to take away this requirement under NIH funding and there have been bills that have tried to expand it to the rest of the federal government and any of the research they sponsor.
Last week, a new version of Doyle's bill was introduced and it's been improved. First off, it's got some nice bipartisan backing in both parts of Congress. On the Senate side, it was co-sponsored by Senators Cornyn and Wyden, while on the House side we've got Doyle along with Reps. Yoder and Lofgren. Also, it reduces the time to open publishing from one year down to six months (like a NY bill that came out last year). It doesn't spread the policy to all federal agencies, but the vast majority of federally funded resarch would qualify (all agencies that spend over $100 million on research are covered).
As the EFF notes in the link above, there are a few lingering concerns about the bill, including some broad language around exemptions for works that "generate revenue or royalties for authors." Also, it could go further in not just requiring open access, but open licensing to make sure such works can more easily be built on to create next generation research. However, those are small quibbles.
But, of course, the publishers are really not happy about all of this, calling it "different name, same boondoggle." This is quite incredible, really, since it's really the publishers who have been getting away with a giant boondoggle for ages. If that gives you an idea about just how ridiculous the publishers' claims are, read on. Nearly every claim they make in attacking the bill actually applies to the publishers themselves much more than to the bill:
It would add significant, unspecified, ongoing costs to those agencies' budgets in the midst of ongoing federal deficit reduction efforts.As opposed to keeping the works locked up, which adds significant, unspecified and ongoing costs to anyone trying to actually do research and be educated?
Finally, it would undermine publishers' efforts to provide access to high-quality peer-review research publications in a sustainable way, while ignoring progress made by agencies collaborating with publishers to improve funding transparency.No it wouldn't. We already have the NIH example. Nothing in that "undermined" the publishers' efforts. Again, all that "high quality peer review" stuff comes for free: both the content and the peer reviewing. Most other publications somehow, magically, get by paying their writers and editors and don't have to charge tens of thousands of dollars for a subscription.
"This bill would waste so much taxpayers' money at a time of budgetary crisis, squander federal employees' time with busywork and require the creation and maintenance of otherwise-unneeded technology,"This is the funniest of all. The real "waste" of taxpayer money is in funding all this research that then gets locked up and is nearly useless to those taxpayers.
Basically, the publishers know that their current position with these journals is such a sweet deal that they don't want anything to mess with it at all. That's ridiculous. While they're fighting for ever bigger profits, we're talking about access to research that was funded with our own dollars. It's really sad that the publishers would fight such a thing, though it shows what they really think concerning education. To them, it's not about how best to disseminate information, but how to lock it up and charge insanely high prices for it.

Use Back Button to return to Index of Cases
WCC No. 9901-8140
TOTAL MECHANICAL HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING, et al.
Respondents/Cross Appellants
Summary of Case: The Court previously permitted respondent employers to submit employee information to enable the Uninsured Employers' Fund (UEF) to recalculate penalties. A prior extension was granted requiring all records be submitted by October 12, 2000, and specifying the form of the records. On October 13th, the Court received a motion to amend the Order to allow less complete records to be provided. Actual records were later provided to the Court on November 8, 2000, and to UEF on November 13, 2000, more than a month late.
Held: The motion is untimely; moreover the information tendered is incomplete, inadequate, and late. The motion is therefore denied. Since respondents failed to comply with the Court's prior Order, the UEF is relieved from its agreement to recompute the penalties.
¶1 In my June 26, 2000 decision and order on appeal, 2000 MTWCC 39, at paragraph 85, I affirmed the Uninsured Employers' Fund's (UEF) computation of penalties against the respondent Montana employers (the Human Dynamics Corporation's (HDC) client companies), noting that the alleged deficiencies in computing the penalties were "due to the actions of HDC and the client companies, which refused to produce the [employee] records in Montana where Department [of Labor and Industry] employees work." (¶ 85.) Nonetheless, I recognized that the penalties might be more precisely calculated upon production of "wage records and classification information." (2000 MTWCC 39, ¶ 86) I then made the following determination:
(Id.) UEF responded three days later, stating:Unless the UEF objects, I will grant the client companies 30 days in which to provide the UEF with the information necessary for more accurate calculations. If that information is satisfactory, then I will order that the penalties be recalculated based on the information.
(APPELLANT'S NOTICE OF NON-OBJECTION TO ORDER AND REQUEST FOR CONDITIONS IN EVENT OF APPEAL at 2.)The UEF has no objection to recalculating the penalties assessed against the Montana client companies . . . based upon the timely submission of employee wage records pursuant to the order of this Court.
¶2 On July 21, 2000, some three and a half weeks after my initial Order, counsel for respondents (Mr. Utick), requested a telephone conference with the Court to discuss deadlines and procedures for recomputing the penalties. (ORDER VACATING FINAL CERTIFICATIONAND AMENDING DECISION AND ORDER ON APPEAL at ¶ 3.) A telephone conference was held among myself, Mr. Utick and Mr. Daniel B. McGregor, attorney for the UEF. Mr. Peter J. Stockstad, who represented one of the other parties, was inadvertently left out of the telephone conference. Mr. Stockstad was later informed of the conference and the agreement reached by counsel and the Court, and he agreed with the resolution.
¶3 During the conference, counsel and I agreed to amendment of paragraphs 93 and 94. The amendment to paragraph 94 provided that the decision in this case shall not become final until the post-trial motions are resolved and
(oRDER VACATING FINAL CERTIFICATION AND AMENDING DECISION AND ORDER ON APPEAL at ¶ 3.) Paragraph 93 was amended to provide until August 24, 2000, for submission of employee records. (Id.) The Order issued July 25, 2000.the penalties are recalculated and the time for objections for the recalculation has either expired without objections or the Court has ruled on the objections, or the client companies fail to submit the employee records necessary for recalculation to the Department by August 24, 2000.
¶4 On August 24, 2000, nearly two months after my original Order, and the day set by my second Order for production of employee records, the respondents moved for additional time to produce the records. They represented that HDC maintained 1994 employee records in electronic form on a MacIntosh computer but the computer system had been replaced January 1, 1995, and thereafter crashed. HDC further represented that it had attempted to recover the computer data but had been unable to do so and was therefore compiling "paper records covering the employee data." (SUBMISSION, MOTION FOR ADDITIONAL TIME, AND MEMORANDUMIN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR ADDITIONAL TIME at 2.) It requested an additional 30 days to compile the information. (Id.) In connection with the motion, the respondents submitted materials showing all Montana employees and wages through September 30, 1994, but pointed out it had not yet been able to "come up with a breakdown of these employees by client company and has been unable to fully document the job class code for each employee." (Id. at 3.)
¶5 The UEF opposed the requested extension, pointing out that the information which was provided was inadequate and that HDC had several years to compile the documents. As an alternative to denying the extension, the UEF requested that:
(UNINSURED EMPLOYERS' FUND'S RESPONSE TO MOTIONFOR ADDITIONAL TIME FILED BY HUMAN DYNAMICS CORPORATION at 3.)the Court clearly set forth a final date for the submission of this documentation. Moreover, the UEF specifically requests that the Court direct that the submitted documentation be arranged to clearly show the name of the Montana client company, the names of its employees, the total wages earned by each employee of up to the date of the HRC's contract with the Montana client company, and the proper employee class code attributable to each employee.
¶6 The UEF's response was filed and served August 28, 2000. No reply was filed by respondents and on September 13, 2000, after the time for response had lapsed, I issued yet another Order extending time and directing that HDC produce the information requested by the UEF. I extended the time for production of employee wage records to October 12, 2000, because of the plight of the client companies, but I also stated in clear and unequivocal terms that the extension would be the last one. The Order read in relevant part:
(ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION AND TO COMPEL, ¶¶ 2 and 3.)The UEF objects to the motions, stating that HDC has had years to compile and produce the information. While the UEF is correct and I am sympathetic to its position, I am also sympathetic to the plight of the individual companies upon whom the penalties are visited. As set forth in my original decision, these companies have been victimized by HDC. 2000 MTWCC 39 at ¶ 83. But I too have limited patience.
¶7 On October 13, 2000, the day after the last deadline, the Court received yet another motion, this time to amend the September 13, 2000 Order to allow respondents to submit information in a different form than specified in the Order. (MOTION TOAMEND ORDER, MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO AMEND ORDER, AND SUBMISSION.) In the motion, filed by Mr. Utick, respondents requested that the September 13th Order be amended to allow respondents to furnish "total payroll for each employer for the entire penalty period; and the payroll for each employer, broken down by class code, without the necessity of designating the class code for each employee individually." (Id. at 2.) Respondents at that time did not supply the Court with the documents they claimed to have compiled. The documents were provided for the first time on November 8, 2000, when a boxful of documents were delivered to the Court. At my direction, Court personnel contacted counsel for UEF and ascertained that UEF received a similar box by mail on November 13th, 2000, although the box was postmarked November 8th. Thus, it appears that even as to the documents respondents compiled, they were almost a month late in furnishing them to the UEF.
¶8 The UEF objects to the respondents' latest motion on both procedural and substantive grounds. Initially, it points out that the motion is properly characterized as a motion for reconsideration of the September 13th Order and therefore governed by Rule 24.5.337 which provides:
¶9 The Court agrees that the rule applies. However, respondents argue against application of the rule, claiming that the motion is timely under the Court's September 13th Order since that Order superceded the rule and allowed until October 12th for them to respond. The argument is ludicrous. The September 13th Order allowed respondents to produce the records by October 12th, nothing else. The motion is untimely.24.5.337 MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION (1) Any party may move for reconsideration of any order or decision of the workers' compensation court. The motion shall be filed within 20 days after the order or decision is served. The opposing party shall have 10 days thereafter to respond unless the court orders an earlier response. Upon receipt of the response, or the expiration of the time for such response, the motion will be deemed submitted for decision unless the court requests oral argument.
¶10 The UEF also points out that the information furnished by the respondents is insufficient since it would preclude it from identifying individual employees to confirm employment information. It points to other deficiencies, including the failure of HDC to provide complete information. UEF is correct in this assertion. Attached to Mr. Utick's motion is an October 12, 2000 Affidavit of Thomas R. Lindsey, CEO of HDC. In that Affidavit, he says in relevant part:
(MOTION TO AMEND ORDER, MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORTOF MOTION TO AMEND ORDER, AND SUBMISSION, Exhibit D at 1.)2. I compiled a detailed accounting of all billing invoices that HDC has for its Montana clients for the year 1994 in compliance with the Order Granting Extension and to Compel filed September 13, 2000.
¶11 Further, other than the limited attachments to the respondents' October 13th motion, the documentation which was compiled by respondents was not furnished to the UEF by October 12th as required. The documentation was finally delivered to the Court on November 8th, nearly a month late, and to UEF on November 13th, more than a month late.
¶12 Mr. Utick has criticized the Court for specifying the specific records to be produced. He says:
(MOTION TO AMEND ORDER, MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORTOF MOTION TO AMEND ORDER, AND SUBMISSION at 3.)[I]t seems that the Respondents should be allowed to submit the evidence in this case in the form that they determine best illustrates and the [sic] proves their point. It is respectfully submitted that this Court should not be in the business of foreclosing parties from building a record as the party sees fit and should not be directing parties as to exactly how they have to present their evidence. [Emphasis added.]
¶13 It is apparent that Mr. Utick does not understand the nature of the Court's orders or his and his clients' responsibilities. For years the respondents stymied the UEF's efforts to compute the penalty. They could have produced records and made their arguments concerning the proper computation of the penalties years ago. Second, when the UEF opposed Mr. Utick's August 24th request for an additional extension it asked in the alternative that the Court direct production of specific information. Mr. Utick had an opportunity to file a reply to that request: He did not do so. He could have filed a request for reconsideration within the time provided by the Court's rules: He did not do so.
¶14 Finally, and most importantly, the opportunity for recomputation of penalties that has been provided is a matter of grace, not a matter of entitlement. Mr. Utick seems to overlook the fact that I affirmed the penalties. Only out of my concern for fairness to the client companies did I provide an opportunity for recomputation. Even then, the Order was effective only if the UEF did not object, which it did not. I have now pushed the judicial envelope far enough. There is no legal basis for me to compel the UEF to recompute the penalty based upon what has been provided to date, especially since the grace period for allowing recomputation has expired.
¶15 The motion to amend is denied. Respondents have not complied with the Court's orders regarding the recomputation, therefore, the UEF is not required to recompute the penalty.
¶16 There is no reason for further delaying final resolution of this matter. Simultaneous with this Order, I am denying the respondents' other post-trial motions and certifying the June 26, 2000 decision and order on appeal as final.
¶17 Respondents' counsel, Mr. Utick, shall retrieve his clients' boxful of documents from the Court by November 22, 2000.
DATED in Helena, Montana, this 17th day of November, 2000.

|Count of Monte Cristo, The
|Tuesday, 10 September 2002
Chapter 1 opens with a longboat out on a misty sea as men row through the night, hoping to reach land and find help for their sick captain. The surround sound system pulls the viewer into the boat, putting the splashes all around as if we are sitting there pulling oars as part of the crew. The land that Second Mate Edmond Dantes (Jim Caviezel) finds is the Isle of Elba, where the British incarcerated Napoleon the first time England took the emperor into custody.
The tense scene continues ashore as Dantes tries to attract the attention of the uniformed British soldiers. He fires a flintlock pistol into the air, introducing the viewer to the unique percussion cap/powder detonation double explosion the firearms of that time produced, and this remains a constant throughout the movie. The sound is a ripping basso of thunder that lights up the subwoofer, then echoes through the sound system. The British soldiers attack immediately, drawing swords. The ring of steel against steel issues from the surround sound system, as if the battle is taking place around the viewer. In minutes, none other than Napoleon Bonaparte himself saves Dantes and Fernand Mondego (Guy Pearce), Dantes' lifelong best friend, from the British.
Later, after helping Dantes with the sick captain and throwing his weight around against his British jailers, Napoleon asks Dantes to accompany him. In Chapter 2, as Napoleon asks Dantes to take a letter to Marseilles for him, the surround sound system pushes the echo of the wind over the island's harbor directly into the room with the viewer, punctuating it with the hollow spangs of boots striking the wet stone walkways. The musical score comes to the forefront at the end of the chapter, ushering in the next and amping up the sweeping audio packed onto the DVD. The music, grand and simple, becomes part of the overall experience, intensified by the surround.
Chapter 3 presents a terrific visual image of the Marseilles port, although it was actually shot in Malta. White stone buildings face the harbor. Horses clop along the cobblestones, coming from the right and crossing the sound system through the center speaker(s) to the left main. Voices of passersby and townspeople become a constant undercurrent to the action in the streets, bouncing through the main speakers while the center speaker(s) carry the conversation of the actors. While Dantes is called up for a meeting with his employer, Fernand meets up with Dantes' beloved Mercedes (Dagmara Domincyzk), who has come to the docks to meet Dantes. Fernand squires Mercedes away and puts the moves on her while the hollow boom and crash of the sea in the background fill the cove and the subwoofer. Fernand's jealousy shows through the sheer grace and skill of Jay Wolpert's screenplay, and that emotion becomes even stronger when Dantes hurries back to Mercedes with the news that he has been appointed the new captain of the ship to replace the old one that has died.
The innocent and deep relationship between Mercedes and Dantes is set up in Chapter 4 with the accompaniment of beautiful ocean shots and shoreline scenery, underscored by a hauntingly sad stringed composition. Later that day, Fernand meets up with Danglar, the man who was first mate of the ship and got passed over for promotion in favor of Dantes. The dock noises in the background as Fernand and Danglar plot and scheme echoes from the main speakers while conversation is carried by the center speaker(s).
The boom of the door opening in Dantes' father's house in Chapter 5 sets off the subwoofer and offers seriously evil portents to come. In the office of Magistrate Villefort (James Frain), Dantes is accused of being a traitor to France for transporting the letter from Napoleon. Dantes is an innocent, unable to even read what the letter says. He names the man who was supposed to receive the letter, which Villefort burns, then has Dantes led to a carriage with an iron door. When the iron door bangs shut, echoing through the surround system and setting off the subwoofer, we know that Dantes' good fortune has ended. The coach's wheels clatter across the cobblestones as the cameras pan back to show a beautiful view of the Old World city.
In Chapter 6, the clopping hooves of the horse pulling the prison coach cross a bridge, traveling from right to left. Dantes stages a quick-witted and daring escape and makes his way to Fernand's estate with the guards hot on his heels. While Dantes is there, Fernand betrays him, revealing the hostile jealousy he has always felt for Dantes.
In Chapter 7, Dantes is taken to the Chateau D'If, the heartbreaking prison where France sends all of the prisoners the government is ashamed of and wants to forget. The oars dip into the ocean as the tides smash against the harsh, forbidding rock cliff the prison stands on. Later, in the labyrinth tunneled through the rocky foundations of the cliff, the voices of Dantes' jailers echo and give a distinct impression of how large and distant this place is from anything kind or civilized. Men's cries bounce from the walls. In his cell, Dantes sees a message carved into the wall that the warden reads to him. The message is something that will haunt Dantes for the 13 years he is in the prison: "God will give me justice."
Chapters 8-13 continue the story of Dantes' incarceration and rebirth. The desolation alone weighs heavily on the viewer due to the quiet yet cavernous noises that roll from the surround sound system. A brief leap of hope comes to the viewer and Dantes alike as a bird enters his cell through the iron-barred window. The bird's wings flutter, and the sound ducks quickly through the main and center speaker in counterpoint to the darting movements. In Chapter 10, Abbe Faria (Richard Harris), the man who will change Dantes' life forever, arrives in a chilling scene. Tense and frightening music peals through the sound system as Faria resembles nothing more than a corpse rising from its grave in breaking through the floor of Dantes' cell. The clatter of stones against the stone floor rings out sharply. As the two men get to know each other, the score turns again to strings, providing a slow, hopeful backdrop as we watch Dantes start to come alive again, beginning to shape himself into a stronger man and to concentrate on the vengeance he wants.
Rising, dramatic music accompanies Chapter 14's daring escape from the prison, and the sound hammers from the surround sound system, firing up the subwoofer. Outside, the sea spray rolls through the main speakers, giving the impression that we are facing the sea alongside Dantes.
Chapter 15 opens with a Spanish guitar piece that serves as the prelude to Dantes' meeting with the band of smugglers he travels with for three years before journeying back to Marseilles.
From this point on, the film becomes an emotional roller coaster ride filled with twists and turns. The pomp and pageantry of the sets claim the viewer's attention, and prove so riveting to the eye that the ear doesn't realize it's being royally treated by the musical score. In particular, Chapter 18 provides uplifting compositions that reach deeply into the viewer and stir primitive emotions in a grand way as Dantes establishes his new identity. Even a person who does not like classical music may be swept away on the tide of melodies that the sound system unleashes in full-bore presentation.
At the same time, scenes and characters are relayed without music, as in Chapter 19. The voices across as quiet and very contained in the early morning air. Steel hisses and rasps against steel, then the thrust that sinks through flesh and blood to the beating heart beneath is a solid, dulled hammerlike blow that thuds through the subwoofer, a finality that foreshadows another duel to come later in the movie.
The DVD's special features section begins with "An Epic Reborn," showcasing featurettes about the book "The Count of Monte Cristo" and an homage to author Dumas. Dumas' story is almost as amazing as those of the fictional characters he created. The pieces on the Napoleonic world and the production design are awe-inspiring – they're also revealing about all the work and negotiations involved to get the sets. For viewers interested in swordfighting, the featurette on the blade work is absolutely amazing, witty and insightful.
The deleted scenes show a depth of character that is definitely missed in the final version of the movie, but the film does well without them. The alternate version where Villefort actually shoots himself gives the film a much different perspective as well. Director Kevin Reynolds' audio commentary offers a tremendous amount of insight about filmmaking in general and the decisions made during this film and why they were made. Reynolds' voice is easy to listen to, and he had a good memory for the problems he had to deal with, as well as the steps he and his team took to solve those problems. The director is opinionated and interesting, and reveals that the actor playing Napoleon wore a prosthetic nose, which is actually kind of shocking because it looks so real.
"The Count Of Monte Cristo" is a definite audience pleaser. Not only can audiences of all ages see it because harsh language and sexual situations are not in the film, but also all the motivations of the characters and the plot twists are understandable and, indeed, ones that most viewers would be tempted to make themselves, making the story incredibly accessible. Collectors of extravagant period-piece movies and classic novels will want to add this DVD to their shelves, but this version of "The Count Of Monte Cristo" will probably find its way onto the shelves of several film buffs and general audiences as well. It's simply a great tale told extremely well. The DVD is definitely strong in appearance and especially in sound for those with full-blown home entertainment systems.

Moscow: A fire ripped through a new Moscow building`s underground parking lot today, killing 10 migrant workers and injuring 13 others who had been working and living there, city police said.
All those who died were citizens of Tajikistan, Moscow police said in a statement. It said they were killed after a garbage heap on the floor they were working on caught fire, but the cause of the blaze itself was under investigation.
Several million migrants from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan -- former Soviet republics that are now Central Asian nations -- have come to Moscow in search of work. While many are employed in the city`s burgeoning construction industry, many work and even live on sites with nonexistent safety standards.
The Interfax news agency reported that Tashir Construction was responsible for the building`s completion, but quoted company spokeswoman Marina Gaze as saying the building was finished. She denied that the victims were company employees, and said the company would have to "clarify" who they were and why they were there.
The Federal Migration Service of Russia told the Itar-Tass news agency that routine checks at the building had revealed serious migration law violations that were being investigated by the agency.
The fire erupted at 1 pm and took nearly two hours to extinguish.
Russia has a poor fire safety record. The government`s Emergency Services department says nearly 14,000 people died from fires in 2009, the latest year with complete records.

Yes, Deculture edition had wonderful aspects, but the story line in episode one makes a lot more sense. It would be awesome if it could be combined. So Lanka's brother is Skull Leader... From the way things look.
I kind of missed the excited, giddy Sheryl in Deculture (space plane scene in the beginning). The one in episode one is all work and quite mean. It looks like her character is one dimensional in episode 1.
Overall, an excellent episode.

another macross series was released last year?
Are you talking about the Director's Cut version (Decultured) of Episode 01?

took their time, not like they need to change much from the previous script, just need to take into account of the karaoke.
i dammn hope they did karaoke.

well, nothing wrong with sayaa sakamoto, but i guess it would be nice for a more GAR opening, that had more of an original Macross flair. perhaps sung by JAM project would be cool.
but yeah, ending is a bit weak, they have never attempted to show up what protoculture language look or sound like befor,e so i dunno why they tried now.
but i also found something about this version, is that while i love the extended concert scenes, im finding myself missing the mixed battle/concert.
I think that bit is certainly "deculture" alright.

Epic. Epic. Truly Epic. Macross is back on the air! This series starts out petty good. I can;'t say I'm in love with any of the characters so far, but I did get to like them a bit more then I though I would - judging by their designs in the opening.
I also want to say, when they started fighting in the Valkyries, I had goose pimples from head to toe. That was what I wanted to see and I got just enough of it to drool over. I am very excited to see that CG is being used to mostly good effect and that the aliens (invid want-to-be?) are interesting and apparently not at all humanoid.
Did anyone else like the fact that the Valkyries are merging human and zentordi technology? The Valkyrie is the same, but the pilot inside is in a power suit much like the old zentrodi battle pods. That was a nice touch, indeed.
I also like the music and am glad to see it is going to be as important to this series as it was to all the others in the past.
Finally, I would love to see an old favorite return - so long as they aren't the Crapcross 7 edition version.
Here is looking forward to several seasons of good Macross loving entertainment!

The OP definitely is below par for Sakamoto IMO. I think there's some OP, even the new Naruto Shippuden OP this season that sounds better overall.
Also, even the background OST seems to have downgraded and it sounds sorta like Darker than Black now. Why the change, I wonder? It was excellent in the director's cut. My guess is that they might be saving the more dramatic tunes for later on.
I seriously hope this is not some sudden downturn in production values for the show, but it still was pretty fun to watch. Then again, the director's cut was vastly superior IMO.

I watched this back in december 24, and now ep 1 isreleased again
can someone kindly point out the differences between the "deculture" edition from the "other" episode 1? Im kinda confused.
on another note
somehow, the VF25 didn't strike me the way the VF-19 and VF22. They looked far more "kickass"

A vaguely Su-27 fuselage and tail, Rafale/F-18-ish intakes, the trademark swing wings.
Nice little efficient design IMO. The Plus fighters were far too fancy for my liking, even though their designs were still grounded in real life planes.
And regarding the differences, the differences are only with cosmetic aspects, which only serve to change the viewer experience, so the plot has not been changed, only little things here and there.

thanks for the info guys.
yeah, I can kinda relate, the vf25 is more of a porsche and the plus planes are more lamborghini/ferarri/pagani -esque
Metal Siren from Macross 2 lovers again was good too but too bad, not a single model was released. In the movie, it single handedly defended a whole sector of the earth from an all out attack from the marduk
but for sheer kickass factor.....its the full armor VF-11, I used it in macross VFX-2 and it had everything but the kitchen sink. you can take on a whole armada by yourself with it. It had a BIG gattling gun, a whole truckload of high maneuver missiles, a grenade launcher and NUKES!!!

I personally prefer this version. This is mainly because the flight scene during the concert shows Sheryl's professionalism more than anything else. She was willing to drop her 'hatred' of alto's team and improvised maginficently like any decent star should be able to when disaster strikes. Props to her; she's gained many plus points for me.
So while I love synchronized pew pew with song just like in DYRL, I'd take character development over that this early in the series anyday. It's only episode one after all, and there's still plenty of chances of something that grand near the end of the series, no?
And yeah, Nyan-Nyan CM absolutely rocks. I hope they keep it for the whole series as the animation before/after the real commercial break lol.
Still, I loved Ranka's 'Ai Oboete Imasuka', as her performance there is heads and tails above her performance with the new ED. Oh well, I have a creeping suspicion that would be one of the in-story songs whenever Ranka becomes an idol. (Seriously now, who doesn't see that coming? Her VA was chosen from an audition where singing played a major part after all)

For a person like myself who doesn't like robot involved anime series I have taken a shine to this one. First of all I can definitely say quality was their top priority IMO. The fighting scenes were not dragged on and well done and actually got somewhere, beginning was a bit slow but I'm not complaining overall 9/10
P.S. nice that they don't hide the gore but more would be a nice touch ^^

I have not been watching any Macross series since Macross 7. However, this is looking good and I'm defenitely keeping my eye on this.
The last scene reminds me of the original episode 1 Macross from the 90's.
Is there any difference between 12/23/2007 Macross Frontier than this one?

Only small additions in music presentation, compared with the deculture, but the first one is more solid, better action and music combination, more fear about the enemy incoming etc.
The OP and ED is great.
I can't wait for the next episode. I pray to not drop in quality.

Can I eat the peppercorns off the peppercorn tree in the backyard? S. Rowling
Peppercorn trees - Schinus molle, or Peruvian pepper trees - were sold as garden plants during the late 1800s and are common on farms and in established gardens. Originally from South America, they have naturalised quickly here, and in some parts of the country are declared weeds. In France, their pink berries are dried and sold as poivre rose, or pink peppercorns, with an aroma like pepper and a sensation in the mouth not dissimilar to Szechuan peppercorns. Your tree is not, however, related to true pepper - Piper nigrum - a tropical vine from which we get black peppercorns. So it is possible to dry the peppercorns and use them as the French would pink peppercorns. A word of warning however, Schinus molle has a close relative called Schinus terebinthifolius and the peppercorns from this can cause severe allergic reactions so some would consider it a safer bet to buy the French ones.
I am buying some pans and am thinking of non-stick. What are the do's and don'ts? T. Walsh
Mostly don'ts. Don't use harsh abrasives. Don't stir food with a metal spoon. Don't store any other pans on top of them as they will scratch. Don't put hot pans in cold water. Don't clean in the dishwasher. Don't cook high-acid food over a high heat. I still have my first frying pan that I bought when I moved out of home 25 years ago. It is steel. I never wash it with soap, just steel wool. I apply a little oil when I finish washing it and it has a patina that allows me to cook pancakes without using oil or butter. During that time, I have thrown out three non-stick frying pans.
Corn: husk on or off? What is better? M. Parton
''Which'' is better. Now we have that out of the way, corn husks are a natural wrapper, cooking barrier and kitchen tie. They are also a good indication of the freshness of the cob. When first picked, the outer layer is green, slightly thick and leathery; the inner leaf is soft and yellow green. As the corn ages, the outer layers wither. This is when greengrocers start ripping off the leaves of the husk like windows on an advent calendar. Corn cobs under plastic wrap on a polystyrene tray are on the vegetable version of death row - with the priest on his way. Try grilling corn by peeling back the husk but leaving it intact. Slather the cob with butter and seasoned salt and pepper, then flavour it with some finely chopped sage and garlic. Replace the husk and secure it by taking a leaf and tearing it into strips. Tie these around the top of the cob and grill it on a barbecue over low heat until the kernels have softened.
Some time ago, I prepared a recipe with pea shoots. I have not been able to find them since. Where should I look for them? J. Lira
Some may think sprouts are hippie food, but I found an old newspaper clipping in the National Library archives with a story from the Second World War of soldiers in remote areas being fed pea and wheat sprouts that were harvested when ''half an inch long''. The story said: ''They tasted sweet, with something of the flavour of sweet corn.'' If you can't buy pea sprouts from markets or health-food stores, try buying dried peas or chickpeas from a food store or health-food store. Wash them and soak them for 12 hours, drain them and sprout them on a damp, but not wet, cloth on a tray. Snip off the sprouts in a few days when they are a few centimetres high.

London: The Catalan club want to hold on to their two forwards this transfer window, despite speculation they could leave, but Marc Muniesa and Jonathan dos Santos could be on the move.
It had been thought by some that David Villa could be packing his bags this winter and moving away from Camp Nou, but the Asturian striker has no intention of leaving Barcelona at this stage and will definitely not be departing in the next transfer window.
Villa suffered a broken leg a year ago on Saturday and has taken time to recover his fitness. The striker has had to be patient this term and has been frustrated at watching on from the bench for much of the season so far.
The player turned 31 earlier this month and is keen to play more first-team football, but understands he has been left out for purely technical and tactical reasons.
His former club Valencia would love to have him back, but Villa is only interested in Barcelona at the moment. He knows he is still short of full fitness and hopes he will receive more minutes when he is back to his best.
He is conscious, however, that no player at Barcelona is exempt from resting on the bench - not even Lionel Messi.
Barca are unwilling to listen to offers for their Spain striker and know that the trident he forms with Messi and Pedro has brought significant success in the past.
For his part, Villa sees himself as part of Barca`s plans, and not at Juventus or Valencia, nor retiring from the game in the near future.
Talk of a rift with Messi is off the mark and the pair celebrated together after combining to score the first goal in the Copa del Rey at Cordoba last week.
Villa has the admiration of his team-mates and has been an example in his recovery from serious injury, returning to the first team with the same desire and hunger for goals he has always had.
Alexis Sanchez has endured a difficult time in Catalunya and has already been written off by many observers. Last season the Chile international was disrupted by injuries and this term he has also been on he treatment table.
On the pitch, his performances have disappointed, too. Time is running out.
The former Udinese forward can operate on both flanks, although the recent renewal of Cristian Tello and the return to form of Pedro mean he is longer guaranteed a place in the side or even in the squad. However, coach Tito Vilanova still has faith in the Chilean and believes his player can return to his best in the second half of the season.
Much is demanded of Alexis due to his elevated transfer fee, but instead of goals the forward has been used to doing much of the `dirty work` off the ball to provide for Messi and his team-mates.
And as Vilanova commented before he picked up his latest injury, the player needs to start scoring again for his confidence to return.
Should he fail to convert or return to the kind of form he approached at times last season, Barca could consider putting him out on loan. However, he has until the end of the season to prove that won`t be necessary.
Two players who look set to move on are Marc Muniesa and Jonathan dos Santos.
Muniesa`s story is one of misfortune. The Masia graduate has picked up one serious injury after another and dropped well back in the pecking order at Camp Nou.
The defender is currently sidelined for what could be rest of the current campaign after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in the summer, thereby missing the opportunity to fill in for injured team-mates Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique.
The player and his agent will meet with the club in January to discuss his future. Muniesa has returned to light training and muscle work but is still a long way from a return to full fitness and may have played his last game for Barca already.
With Jordi Alba impressing and Adriano able to fill in across the back four, his Camp Nou future looks bleak and if he can prove his fitness, the player may even move on this winter.
Meanwhile, Jonathan dos Santos` dream of becoming a first-team regular at Barca looks like it will never be realised. The Mexico midfielder has found opportunities hard to come by and was even cut from the final squad by coach Tito Vilanova in the Copa del Rey at Cordoba last week.

can anyone tell me use of Master Page in ASP.Net
Pratik Asthana
View Complete Post
Hi all-
I would like to present users with unique content based on certain conditions being met as they land on the home page (default.aspx). The condition logic will be in the VB code behind Page Load event. The content will go in a content placeholder as specificed from the master page.
However, the content change wouldn't be something small (ie making a panel or label visible or not) but rather it will be different HTML, Divs and databound gridview content. The HTML content will be stored in the database.
Can someone point me in the right direction for best practices on how to accomplish this?
I usually work with windows forms, and am just starting to work with ASP.Net, so appologies if this is a dumb question!
I have a master page which has a search button on it. The results of this are built up using a Linq statement and if there are any results, I want to display the results in a contents page.
On the masterpage, I have the following code:
Private _res
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property SearchRes()
Return _res
End Get
End Property
Private Sub DoSearch()
'some code to get a linq result
If res.Any Then
_res = res
Server.Transfer("SearchResults.aspx", True)
'no results
LabelNoRes.Visible = True
End If
End Sub
On the SearchResults.aspx page I have this code.
Dim m As pxSite = CType(Page.Master, MasterPage)
If m.SearchRes IsNot Nothing Then
Label1.Text = "Results found = " & m.SearchRes.Count
End If
m.searchRes is always nothing.
What am I doing wrong here?
I have an HTML
 container that I float to the right of a gridview. When the browser window is maximized, it looks fine. When minimized, the gridview positions below the floating container and most of the data is pushed off the bottom of the browser - you have to scroll down to see it.
If I position the floating container above the gridview it looks fine in a minimized window, but looks real bad when maximized.
What I want to do is use a javascript: onresize event to re-position the floating container up or down depending on the window.inner.width AND do it with a Master/Content page structure AND do it for only the one page where needed.
I can capture the onresize event and display the window dimensions but haven't figured-out how to do it with a Content page that still uses the Master page. I think I'm having a very "thick" week...

I have created two composite controls in the same assembly and registered that assembly in a master page using <%@ Register tag.
When I try to use these controls using the registered tag prefix I am getting only one control along with the tagprefix .

Master pages in ASP.NET 2.0 solve a problem many Web developers have been solving on their own with a variety of techniques for years - providing a single master template for an entire site. This article covers the details of master pages, discussing their usage and implementation and how they are a natural evolution of custom techniques developers are using today.

In my masterpage I have a menu with buttons. I want the buttons to do something after click. It works but I have to click twice on the button, why? What do I have to do to just to click once?
My webpage has one banner with a logo, a vertical menu bar on the left side of the page and a footer . I have 5 other pages which should get loaded when the user select them from the menu bar. what my concern is actually the banner, menu bar and the footer should not change when the requested page loads. This definitely can be handled by sets. But I want to know whether there are any other alternatives for frame sets or could master page be helpful for this purpose ?????
Any help would be appreciative .
Dear all,
I have master page and wen i use master page my drop down menu selection disapper in web forms...could anyone pls help me...am not so clear about z-index...
@ Master Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="Default.master.vb" Inherits="E_Management._Default1" %>
I'm using a custom.master page, which is applied to almost all pages available to READ users.
However, I'd like to apply it to the Search, Site Settings, and View All Site Content pages.
I'm not sure where this would be applied.
Guidance much appreciated. Thanks!
I am working on a SP site (MOSS not WSS) which is heavily customised away from the OOTB layout. I need to create a Wiki site, which was going well - I've created a master page which displays the miniconsole (this was not visible with our customised
layout), and made it the default master page for the site. This has been applied to the two standard pages that come with the Wiki site, however when a new page is created, it seems to inherit the default.master, rather than my custom master page - thus not
showing the miniconsole.
When I have created a new page, I am able to use SharePoint Designer to attach my custom master page to it, which works perfectly, however this will not be a viable option going forward as end-users create their new wiki pages.
How can I get the new pages to inherit my master page when they are created?
I've never worked with ASP.net before this project, and I am struggling a bit. The website I am updating was written in ASP.net and C#, using a master page. The master page is simple enough (header section, maincontent section, footer section, and a righcontent section).
What I need to happen...
On one page only, I would like the maincontent section to extend through the rightcontent section. On this page I will not need the rightcontent section.
What is the easiest way to produce these results? As of now, I have unused space on the page...and I can't figure out how to utilize the extra white space.
Please advise.
the app I am working with is made up of three nested master pages that have the following design:
The first master page ha only realize the HEADER, BODY and FOOTER divs.
The second one specialize the Body content placeholder and divide it in three more layers: NAVIGATOR, PAGE TITLE, BODY CONTENT.
The final layer specialize the BODY CONTENT in PAGE CONTENT and ACTIONS.
In one of my content pages I have (inside the PAGE CONTENT area)
The PopupModalExtender can be either triggered from inside the gridView and also from a series of LinkButtons that are in the ACTIONS area.
The problem is that when the PopupModalExtender shows the FOOTER and the ACTIONS areas are not dimmed from the style I apply as background to the modal popup. An example of what I am trying to explain can be viewed in the following screenshot.
Why this is going to happen? Has anybody any suggestion on how to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot
We have been using the mysite section of sharepoint for 6 months and have recently changed the default.master is there any quick way of changing all the users pages without losing anydata.
I know i can go into the Master Page library for the users, upload the new default.master and then set this as default within sharepoint designer, however this will be quite a lenghty task for me to complete for all our userbase.
Could you please advise if there is a quicker way to do this.
I know there is a field you can check when you edit the properties of a Master Page in the Master Page Gallery to set a Master Page to hidden but ... can anyone think of a way to programmatically hide specific Master Pages from the Site Master Page Settings

The Best Bargains in the NBA
With the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement in full swing, it's all about the contracts
By Bill Simmons on March 1, 2013
4. Kevin Garnett (Celtics), 3 years, $36 million
3. Tim Duncan (Spurs): 3 years, $30.4 million
You know what's amazing about these guys other than the stuff you already knew was amazing? It's Year 18 for Garnett and Year 16 for Duncan, although Duncan is older by 3.5 weeks (they're both 36). Including playoffs, they've logged over 100,000 minutes combined already. They played 40 minutes a night at their peaks; now they play 30 minutes a night. But check out their per-36-minute numbers for this season and their careers as a whole.
Duncan, 2013: 20.3 PPG, 11.7 RPG, 3.2 APG, 4.2 SBPG,7 49% FG, 81% FT, 23.8 PER
Duncan, career: 20.6 PPG, 11.5 RPG, 3.1 APG, 3.1 SBPG , 51% FG, 69% FT, 24.7 PER
Garnett, 2013: 17.9 PPG, 9.2 RPG, 2.7 APG, 2.5 SBPG, 50% FG, 78% FT, 19.4 PER
Garnett, career: 19.0 PPG, 10.4 RPG, 3.9 APG, 2.8 SBPG, 50% FG, 79% FT, 23.2 PER
Isn't that crazy? They're playing 25 percent less, but with little to no difference in per-minute efficiency and no real signs of decline. Even better, they took hometown discounts so their teams could build around them a little more easily. You know, like what Kobe did with the Lakers — only the exact opposite.
(Sorry, I had to.)
I know people here don't seem to like Simmons, but he is by far and away my favorite sports writer. His "Book of Basketball" is a great read, his first edition had TD at #7 all time. His entries and TD and Robinson capture the players perfectly. His what-if with Robinson is fascinating...Elliot was never a better NBA player than Glen Rice, SA drafted Elliot instead of Rice, what if Rice's 20+ pts a game were paired with D-Rob? Also...he selected Popovich circa 07' as his vintage team coach.
He is a great writer and a fan of the game, even if he pisses some off at times he is good.
BTW TONY #2!!!!!!! HMMMMMMMMM TAKE That TONY haters, he is a bargain! Great article and man him being #2 fits, he spite being hurt now is a great deal and definitely a bargain.
Win or lose this is a game -
You could let it pick your brain for weeks and months, just replay it over and over, won't do you any good at all. When someone loses a loved one and they do that it only brings forth anguish. I feel acceptance is sometimes the key, it happened, now you have to react to it. Giving up is not an option.

The performer begins by placing a small white silk hank into a beautiful bag. He then sets the contents on fire, flames shooting upwards from the opening of the bag. The fire is extinguished and the bag pulled open revealing the interior,and out flies a real live dove.
Can be used to vanish or exchange other objects in the fire. Great professional prop. Self-contianed. No body loads, etc.
Fire section does NOT have to be used so you can use this bag as a transformation bag, etc. Just pop it open and watch as a large bouquet of spring flowers pops into the air. (flowers not supplied). Fake dove used for illustration purposes only.

A recent Austin-American Statesman review of Neo-Con Philip Bobbitt's new book Terror and Consent features an image of a shredded Constitution under the words "Everything must go," which acts as a suitable entrée to a disgusting diatribe which praises Bobbitt's call for the end of America and its replacement with a de facto world government in the name of fighting terror.
The words, "How to Fight Terrorism" are in place of a torn piece of the Bill of Rights.
Reviewer James E. McWilliams describes Bobbitt as "a distinguished lecturer and senior fellow at the University of Texas and a law professor at Columbia University," but anyone with a basic grasp of what America's founders envisioned and what Ronald Reagan later termed the "shining city on a hill" would be more apt to describe Bobbitt – nephew of Lyndon Baines Johnson and former State Department counselor – as an enemy of the Republic.
McWilliams' fawning review of the book is intended to sucker in millionaire pseudo-intellectuals who think they are part of the elite by using mental gymnastics and brazenly contradictory statements in order to justifying the revolting underlying premise of the book.
As soon as we learn that the facade of Bobbitt's argument is to provide a solution "for fighting the wars that are bound to plague the 21st century," we're already safe in the knowledge that Bobbitt represents another chicken-necked warhawk who has already claimed ownership of the next 10 decades for his Neo-Con ideological fetish of imperial bloodletting and brutal domination.
So what exactly is Bobbitt's solution?
The complete obliteration of sovereignty and the nation state and its replacement with a new "order that takes its structural cues from multinational corporations and nongovernmental organizations" that will have the power to pursue "more aggressive tactics of preclusionary warfare," meaning more pre-emptive invasions of broken-backed third world countries to expand the creaking pax-Americana empire.
Despite terse and contradictory promises that we will still have some semblance of freedom in Bobbitt's technocracy, he admits that there will be "no obvious answer to many of the human rights issues that are bound to arise," as a result of his plan to completely eviscerate God-given freedoms enumerated in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
The reviewer cites Bobbitt's justification to impose world government as a means of combating,"The accessibility of weapons of mass destruction, the globalization of international capital and the "universalization of culture" have eroded the conventional borders that once legitimated national security," all problems that were created by globalists' drive to impose centralized systems of control in the first place by creating crises and then posing as the saviors.
This is another classic example of problem-reaction-solution. Use the pretext of the problems you have created to then offer a solution that befits your ultimate agenda – global government.
"Bobbitt believes that the UN Charter should be amended to allow the preemptive use of force without a Security Council authorization," and "In cases in which the use of non-lethal chemical weapons could be used to prevent terror, be able to redefine such methods as "counterforce measures," writes McWilliams.
The "use of chemical weapons," where have we heard that one before?
It was Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney, William Kristol, Donald Rumsfeld and the rest of the Neo-Con collaborators that formed the Project For a New American Century – the ideological framework of the Bush administration, who proposed the use of "…advanced forms of biological warfare that can target specific genotypes (which) may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool."
A leaked British Ministry of Defence report last year also envisioned a nightmare future society in which the population are forced to accept brain chips, immigration and urbanization ravages communities, class warfare ensues, and biological and neutron weapons are used to combat overpopulation.
Since Bobbitt cites "non-lethal chemical weapons" as a means of "preventing terror" what exactly does he mean? Mass-medicating Americans' drinking water with sodium fluoride to keep the population docile and subservient to the new international order, absent of traditional constitutional rights, that Bobbitt seeks to impose? The vagueness of the reference suggests Bobbitt and in turn the simpering reviewer McWilliams are attempting to carefully dance around the true scale of the horror that they are advocating.
Mandating a false choice between the acceptance of terrorism as a routine cancer upon society or the imposition of a brutal warmongering world government and the obliteration of sovereignty and the constitution, the book advises us to progress, "not by choosing good over bad, but — as is usually the case in war and politics — the lesser of evils."
And the lesser of evils in this case is to allow Bobbitt and his salivating Neo-Con cronies to have their way with the 21st century while they posture and insist their global government is our savior against a terrorist threat that they created in the first place.
As Bobbitt would no doubt agree with the CFR's Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., the globalists are "not going to achieve a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money," and as H.G. Wells proclaimed, "Countless people… will hate the new world order… and will die protesting against it… When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents…"
We are those "malcontents" that the globalists fear so much, we are the representation of everything that is good about the human spirit – love, hope, the yearning for freedom and a kindred bond with our fellow man, along with the shared promise of a peaceful and prosperous future for our children.
Bobbitt and the rest of the Neo-Con turds who have already decided to condemn us to a century of warfare, tyranny, and centralized control may be surprised to learn that the resistance to their agenda is accelerating and that the true essence of humanity, the "malcontents," will rise up and condemn them to the only place they belong – on the scrapheap of history.

Source: Fonterra Fonterra today announced a $32 million expansion of its slice-on-slice cheese capacity at its Collingwood Street site in Eltham, Taranaki. Slice-on-slice cheese is used extensively in quick service restaurants for products such as hamburgers and sandwiches. Work will start in early 2014 and is expected to be completed in mid-2015. When complete, the expanded plant will deliver both increased capacity and improved processes to meet growth in global demand from Fonterra's foodservice customers. Fonterra Director of Foodservice, René Dedoncker, said the investment demonstrated the cooperative's drive to grow its business in the high-value foodservice industry. "Our foodservice business has grown 9% in volume over the past three years and the profitability of foodservice has increased 11% in the same period," said Dedoncker. "This investment in slice-on-slice cheese is in response to fast-growing demand throughout Australasia, Asia and the Middle East." International growth in cheese is being driven by trends in eating out of home, particularly in emerging Asian economies where there is a continued shift toward more Westernized diets. "Our results last year showed a 45% normalized EBIT growth in foodservice for our Asia, Africa and Middle East business," he said. "We also achieved double digit growth in China where foodservice grew 28%." Dedoncker said driving its foodservice business is one of Fonterra's seven strategic pathways and the cooperative had set itself ambitious growth targets over the next five years. The foodservice category includes full and quick service restaurants, bakeries, cafes, hotels, airline catering facilities and other commercial kitchens. Back to news

Not my favorite face paper. It is flimsy, thin and difficult to tear off. I will go back to the Scrip brand.
Every time we order this headrest paper, the feel of the paper itself changes. Sometimes it is smooth, sometimes hard, sometimes it looks like tissue paper and is extremely see through, other times it is soft. It is really getting to be annoying to us on our patients. Obviously we will still be ordering it, but consistency would be nice.
Quality is okay. Just not wide enough for me. Likely won't buy again.
We have used this product for years. It works the best for our practice and patients.
The economy face paper serves its purpose well. It does not stick to the face piece and tears easily.

Working from home has become hugely popular and it's not hard to see why. After all, there's no commute involved, you can work to your own schedule and, thanks to a dazzling array of high-tech hardware and super-cool software, getting through the unrelenting list of daily tasks is easy.
Of course, for any kind of business it's always a case that time is money, and for home workers there's a real need to keep things ticking over as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. The best way around this is to invest in the latest technology and software applications.
The way forward
A core item that needs to be included in any high-tech home business arsenal is, of course, the humble printer simply because it's central to staying productive. However, now that both inkjet and laser printers are more affordable than ever, it can actually prove a little tough deciding which one to go for.
Traditionally, home workers have been happy to utilise the powerful potential of a laser printer, because these have always been associated with producing dependable results during high-volume print jobs. They've also been perceived as the most realistic way of enjoying frugal running costs too.
New Kodak printers including the Hero 7.1 combine high-tech hardware and super-cool software to produce a formidable All-in-One package.
Conversely, it's the inkjet printer that gets the vote from many other home office workers, who actually prefer the flexibility, that one of these multi-purpose devices offers. After all, while many people working from home need to print multiple mono documents; increasingly we are all outputting many more high-quality images and graphics during the course of our daily printing duties.
As a result, many workers are turning towards a printer that can amalgamate all of these printing challenges into a fast and efficient one-stop device.
Unbeatable value
A perfect example of this compromise between the inkjet and laser device is the new Kodak Office Hero 6.1 printer, for a whole variety of reasons. While some of us are probably not entirely sure about what differences separate an inkjet from a laser printer, you'll probably be aware that running either has traditionally proved to be expensive, mainly due to replacing consumables such as ink cartridges.
The Kodak Hero range has an enviable reputation for delivering the UK's lowest ink replacement costs.
In fact, this cost factor has also been enough to put some home businesses off using a printer altogether, with the main fear being that an expensive ink-guzzling device could carve into profits. At a time when it's more important than ever to keep a firm reign on costs then this is perhaps a justified concern, but somewhat unfounded.
Indeed, recruiting a printer like the Kodak All-in-One Office Hero 6.1 will not only boost productivity, it'll offer unbeatable efficiency and minimal day-to-day running costs. Better still, using a do it all printer such as this, means that you'll also have some incredibly useful technology at your disposal too.
Save money
It's those cost savings of running something like an All-in-One that home business owners will really appreciate. Much has been written about the high cost of home printing associated with traditionally designed printers, be they inkjet or laser. However, the Office Hero 6.1 has an enviable reputation for delivering the UKs lowest ink replacement costs – and that's a fact.
No matter what kind of print jobs you need to get done, the flexibility offered by this type of All-in-One transforms daily printing duties. From high-volume office document printing through to outputting vibrant full-colour digital images, the Office Hero 6.1 can deliver high-end printing and superb value at the same time. So, in that respect, it's now easy to recoup the minimal cost of buying a device like this, simply through saving on ink replacement over the life of the printer.
Kodak smart sensor technology allows you to get detailed feedback on how long print jobs will take and the amount of ink and paper that will be needed.
Work smart
While saving money is key to any printer earning its keep, home workers also need a comprehensive range of high-tech tools at their disposal. Again, a sophisticated new All-in-One like this comes complete with a formidable feature set that will boost productivity instantly.
Get your work done in half the time by utilising the services of the duplex document feeder or carry out automatic double-sided printing, copying, scanning and faxing and all with one-touch simplicity. The Office Hero 6.1 even has the capacity for holding a stack of paper in its 35-page two-sided automatic document feeder (or ADF for short) and getting on with large jobs while you go and do something else.
High-tech Hero
Modern hardware and software solutions also mean the ultimate in convenience when it comes to when and how you print. For example, these Hero All-in-One printers now offer the capacity for printing directly from a smartphone, laptop or tablet device. Simply call on the services of the latest Google Cloud Print-enabled software apps, which includes powerful and free-to-use office solutions such as Google Docs and Gmail.
Home business users can now send emails and attachments to their Kodak printer from anywhere too, using any email account, by enlisting the help of the Kodak Email Print Service. Adding to the freedom and flexibility that this option provides is the fact that you can also share the printer's unique email address with friends, family, colleagues and clients too in order to receive printed files or photos.
The ultimate answer
Combine this cost effectiveness with boundless functionality and it's little wonder that people running a business from home are seeing the obvious benefits of getting themselves kitted out with a state of the art All-in-One. The savings on your time will be immediately obvious to see, which is further boosted by automatic print alerts.
Touchscreen functionality and an amazingly simple wireless printing set-up makes the Hero All-in-One printer range completely user-friendly.
Kodak's Home Centre Software is an all-encompassing software solution for any kind of printing task that works in tandem with its smart sensor technology. It means you'll be able to get detailed feedback on how long print jobs will take, if there's enough paper to complete it and also if there's enough ink too. Such is the power behind this software that you'll also be able to know this even when you're working on your PC remotely.
As if all that wasn't enough, there is also the undeniably enjoyable aspect of working wirelessly. Thanks to the cable-free options that come with the Hero All-in-One printers, it's possible to set up Wi-Fi functionality in mere moments, meaning that any kind of document can be sent to your shiny new printer from any location around the home or office and all without any kind of fuss or bother. Easy.

Difference between revisions of "Hitchhiking around the world"
Latest revision as of 16:14, 24 June 2010
This article is a travel topic
It's possible to circumnavigate the globe by hitchhiking. This article gives some ideas how.
Set goals[edit]
Different people have different goals for worldwide hitchhiking. Some questions to consider:
Get started[edit]
Choke points[edit]
Some parts of the world, like North America or Europe, are densely populated and make for easy hitching. Other parts, like Central Asia, have lower traffic and may result in harder transportation.
Crossing the Pacific or Atlantic Oceans present some difficulty. This can easily be overcome with a little grit and determination. Hundreds of sailing boats cross the oceans every year. Waiting in busy ports like Grenada, Madeira or Panama can help. Talk to boat owners, be friendly, helpful, and approachable. Something may turn up. The internet is also a useful resource, there are many websites that match crew with short-handed skippers. They might just be going the right way.

Syracuse (New York)
Earth : North America : United States of America : Mid-Atlantic : New York (state) : Central New York : Syracuse (New York)
Syracuse [4] is a city in Central New York.
Get in
By bus/train
By plane
By car
The following highways travel through Syracuse:
Get around
A car is probably the best way to get around Syracuse, especially if you are going to places away from downtown. Make sure you have a map and pay attention to the street signs. There are some streets in the downtown area that go from being two-way to one-way, which is not always clear on a map.
On foot
You can walk to most of the destinations in downtown Syracuse from a parking lot or the Centro bus terminal.
Another alternative to driving is to get around Syracuse by bicycle, most of the downtown area is relatively flat but keep in mind that the University area has many steep hills and the residential areas surrounding downtown have quite a few hills as well. What some people will do is catch a ride on the bus downtown, placing their bike on the bike rack on the front of the bus and then use their bike once they reach downtown thus avoiding the steep hills.
While taking a little longer than driving in a car the Centro Bus System [8] does provide a fair alternative to most locations in and around Syracuse, it usually costs $1USD with the exception of a few routes where it is $1.25 or $1.50, if you have to transfer to another bus to get to your destination be sure to ask the bus driver for a transfer card so that you don't get stuck paying double fairs for the same trip. In addition there is also a 30 Day Unlimited Ride Pass and Centro Debit Card as alternatives to the cash fare. There are also discounts for senior citizens, persons with disabilities and children. The buses are accessible to people with disabilities and the bus drivers are instructed to let a person with a physical disability on before letting other passengers on.
Call a Taxi
There are several taxi services listed in the Syracuse phone book that you can choose from. It will usually take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes for a taxi to come pick you up but it can be useful if you missed the last bus of the day. At the airport there is usually no wait, as there is a well-frequented taxi stand at the end of Terminal A.
Up-to-date information about the happenings in Syracuse can most easily be found in the Syracuse New Times [9], available for free at bars or coffee shops.
Sports and Outdoors
Syracuse has gained the nickname "the City of Festivals" for good reason. There are numerous festivals year round. The following are just a few of the festivals that are held in and around the City of Syracuse:
Camera Supplies
Souvenirs, Gifts, Novelties
Shopping Areas and Malls
Syracuse has two major nightlife districts. The largest is Armory Square downtown, followed by Marshall Street on University Hill.
University Hill
The University Hill neighborhood is directly adjacent to Downtown Syracuse and is home to Syracuse University, SUNY Upstate Medical University, and SUNY College of Environmental Studies and Forestry.
Dozens of hotels are located near Carrier Circle in DeWitt, directly accessible from the New York State Thruway's Exit 35, and fifteen-minute drive to/from Downtown Syracuse during non-peak hours.
Get out
