Midwest Living Review
Driving across Nebraska on I-80, you simply cannot miss The Great Platte River Road Archway. Crossing all four lanes of the interstate east of Kearney, the museum resembles an immense covered bridge. Inside, two stories of exhibition space celebrate 150 years of the Great Platte River Road, a major transportation route throughout America's history.The experience begins as you are greeted by the resident mountain man at the door. Directly inside there are restrooms, a large cafe and a gift shop, giving you a chance to rest and refuel and buy tickets for the archway experience. The museum begins when you don a set of headphones and step onto the escalator (they make sure you know it's the second tallest in Nebraska). The displays unfold chronologically, and as you walk through the museum, the narration coming through the speakers changes. (The whole thing is surprisingly cool and interactive, given that it's located in a highway bridge!) Beginning with the days of the pioneers and the rough trek west, you finish with the heyday of the automobile and a look at drive-ins and diners. Life-size figures are startlingly realistic, and visual effects throughout add to the experience.Outside, across from the archway, members of the Pawnee and Arikara tribes have erected an authentic earth lodge. This large structure was the traditional housing for these tribes in generations past. At one time, you could find these lodges throughout south-central Nebraska along the Platte River. From the outside, the building resembles a cone of earth. Inside, the essential design of the lodge becomes clear. Large logs provide the main support. Planks and long poles give the building its shape. Even smaller materials were used as a mat to keep the dirt from trickling in. For more activities, kids might want to try their directional skills in the Archway Trailblaze Maze. Or you may simply want to step out onto the bridge over the adjacent pond and feed the catfish that swarm underneath waiting for kindly tourists. All in all, a fun and worthwhile stop, though not exactly a bargain at $10 for adult admission.

FORT WALTON BEACH — Teachers across the state will likely see a pay increase next summer if they are rated well during their evaluations.
The raises, which are the latest piece of the pay-for-performance model pushed by Florida lawmakers, were approved by the Legislature Sunday as part of a $480 million chunk of the state's budget. Gov. Rick Scott has not yet signed the bill, but he released statements Sunday praising the lawmakers' proposal.
Under the plan, teachers ranked as effective would receive a $2,500 pay increase and those ranked as highly effective would receive a $3,500 raise. Those ranked in one of the other two positions — developing/needs improvement or unsatisfactory — would not receive a raise.
Members of the Florida House and Senate reached this agreement several months after Scott put forth a budget that proposed a $2,500 across-the-board pay increase for all teachers.
Details beyond the fact that money has been set aside for merit raises are murky at best right now, according to local school officials.
"We've got a ways to go," said Mary Hobbs, the chief financial officer for Walton County schools. "We've not been given anything final at all. The House and Senate just passed it."
The biggest issue, at this point, is that the set of criteria for rating teachers doesn't exist. Districts not only need to hash out with teachers' unions what parts of student performance will be used to measure teacher effectiveness, but they will also need a green light from the Florida Department of Education.
In Okaloosa County, which has implemented an evaluation system based on student performance, Deputy Superintendent Kaye McKinley said they would have some work to do, but it likely wouldn't change the high rate of high-performing teachers the district employs.
"It's not about having all As," McKinley said of the evaluation system. "It's about having growth. It's about having learning gains."
While Okaloosa County might be able to predict the majority of its about 2,000 teachers would be ranked as highly effective, and thus receive a $3,500 bonus, Walton County officials were less certain about planning for the bonuses for about 600 teachers.
"It's really got a stranglehold on our budget situation," Hobbs said. "Because we just really don't have any idea."
The pay increase could also present additional problems down the road since pay raises are a permanent change in a teacher's pay, not a one-time event like a bonus, Hobbs said.
McKinley also expressed concerns that it might negatively impact the large number of teachers in the area tied to the military who are forced to move often and might not be around to see the fruits of their labor.
Teachers are excited at the prospect of a pay increase, according to Greg Butler, the executive director of the Okaloosa County Education Association, but they have the same uncertainties as district officials.
"We'll really be happy once we figure out what are the rules we have to follow to get there," Butler said.
Districts were told they would receive the funding in June 2014, but it could still be several paychecks longer before teachers see the money.
"Right now, it's just a wait-and-see kind of situation," Hobbs said.

Intel HD Graphics 4000: Processor graphics card in the high end Ivy Bridge models. Offers a different clock speed in the different CPU models (ULV to desktop quad core) and therefore a different performance.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
3317U: Ivy-Bridge-based ULV-CPU in Q2 2012. Offers a core clock of 1.7 - 2.6 GHz and an HD 4000 GPU (350 - 1050 MHz). The TDP is rated at 17 W.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
13.3": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Netbooks, UMPC and some subnotebooks have tinier displays. Nevertheless, the majority of standard laptops has a higher format. The advantage of a small display is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.5 kg: This sub-notebook weighs less than the average of all notebooks and represents a medium class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 11 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Samsung: The Samsung Group is composed of numerous international businesses, all united under the Samsung brand in South Korea. The meaning of the Korean word Samsung is "tristar" or "three stars". The Samsung brand is one of the most important brands of South Korea. Samsung is an international notebook manufacturer of medium size according market shares and reviews.
80%: This rating is not convincing. The laptop is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.

By Claire Walla
Eliza Callahan wasn't planning on entering the 2011 John Lennon Songwriting Contest. In fact, she entered on a whim, on the advice of a person (whom she's since forgotten) who brought the subject up in passing.
"It was really easy to enter the contest," said the New York City native who spends her summers here in Sag Harbor with her parents. "I just clicked submit and, after a week… I kind of forgot I had submitted anything."
Months later, when the teen was in her high school chemistry class, she got an intriguing note. While staring down at the screen of her cellphone, which she had been using as a calculator, she noticed she had an email alert: "Congratulations, you're a grand prize winner!"
The announcement didn't have its intended impact. "It sounded pretty spam-y," Callahan recollected. But after class she read the email more thoroughly, she found out she had been selected from a total pool of thousands of applicants from around the world, chosen over the top winners in 12 categories — including Gospel, Children's, Electronic, Hip-Hop and Pop (Callahan herself entered the Rock category) — as the sole winner of the 14th annual John Lennon Songwriting Contest. And she would get $20,000.
"I was so surprised," she noted rather modestly in an interview last week.
And while it may be surprising — impressive to say the least — that this tiny 16-year-old with long black hair, living right here on Madison Street has received international acclaim for a song she started writing as sort of a lark while sitting on a friend's couch in D.U.M.B.O. (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), her musical career suggests otherwise.
Callahan began playing the Suzuki guitar (a strict classical style) at age three, when her instrument was the size of a ukulele and her plucking was all done by ear. She picked up jazz guitar at age eight — still her preferred mode of strumming — and gradually transitioned into rock shortly thereafter.
Callahan also began experimenting with songwriting by recording notes and lyrics on Garage Band — a computer program that allows professional, amateur, even non-musicians to record and overlay tracks — at a very early age. She credits the inspiration for her very first song, which she wrote at age seven, to a parrot named Lolita, whom she met on a family trip to Costa Rica. (Lolita was special, Callahan noted. She said "Hola" when you spoke to her.)
Though Callahan has only recently started performing her own songs, she has been a part of the Third Street Music School for about as long as she's been playing jazz. With collections of other young musicians, the school organizes two performances each year, during which young ensembles play a range of music, often classic rock. Callahan herself has played Hendrix and The Beatles (her personal favorite), and remembers getting her on-stage start with The Kinks' classic, "Lola."
"I was an eight-year-old singing about a transvestite!" she laughed.
Now fully immersed in all facets of the process, Callahan speaks of her songwriting with professionalism and the insight of someone who's been doing this for ages.
"Each song is its own beast, in a way. The hardest part is trying to really figure out what you're trying to say through the song," she began. "There are two ways to go: either you tell a story, or the song is [composed of] snippets of stories, but a message comes across, and emotion is portrayed." Callahan always writes in the latter, more free-form style.
The song she entered into the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, "Bridge Song," is what she refers to as a "Brooklyn anthem." Though it was instigated by an afternoon spent mocking the wave of super-trendy hipsters that, in recent years, have spilled out of the East Village and into Brooklyn neighborhoods like Williamsburg and DUMBO (to name a few), Callahan said the song grew over two years to become what it is now: a soulful tribute to this young sub-sect of Manhattan's satellite community.
In a relaxed, breathy droll reminiscent of modern female songwriters like Regina Spektor, Callahan melds words and phrases into drawn-out crescendos. But she embellishes the tail end of her lyrics with a delicate almost vibrato, which nicely caps these drawn-out sounds. The effect makes her voice both cool and impassioned, yet totally in control. The sound compliments the raw guitar, a constant beat somewhat reminiscent of garage rock artists like The Strokes, and before them The Ramones.
"People tell me I'm not singing full, or that it sounds like there's an effect on my voice," she explained. They also tell her it sounds as if she's singing with a British accent, which may be the result of listening to endless hours of Beatles records as a child. "My style [of singing] was not developed purposefully," she continued. "It just kind of happened."
The way she describes it, Callahan lives and breathes music. Sure, at 16-years-old and an incoming junior, next year she'll be spending extra time studying for the SATs — which will put music temporarily on hold — and she said she plans to go on to a small, liberal arts school rather than a music academy after graduation. But still, after more than a decade immersed in sound, Callahan takes her passion seriously.
"I don't know that I made a conscious decision to 'be a rock star,'" she said. "I just really love music. It was always around me and I always wanted to play it."
Callahan is now working on an LP at Headgear Studio in Brooklyn. She said she hopes to use the money she won from the John Lennon Songwriting Contest to get guest collaborators.
"I want a horn section, and I want to pay some homage to Amy Winehouse," she said. "It's great that it happened now," she added of winning $20,000 from the songwriting contest. "Getting a song mastered and remixed is very expensive, so the money will probably go very quickly!"

Patent Law LLM/MIP Online Program
Advance Your Career with an LLM or Master's in Intellectual Property
Now with three options for Patent Law students (online, limited residency, or traditional residency)
The University of New Hampshire School of Law's world-renowned program in Intellectual Property has produced a global network of alumni who are leaders in IP law, business, technology and government. For 40 years, UNH Law, and its Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property, have been pioneers in hands-on intellectual property education.
Today, the same innovative curriculum is now offered in three formats for students interested in either the Master's or LLM degree, with a focus on Patent Law: fully online, through a traditional residency on our Concord, NH campus, or via a limited residency option, which combines online courses with a shorter stay in New Hampshire. Students who pursue any one of these options will earn the same University of New Hampshire School of Law degree, and have the opportunity to attend the annual graduation ceremony with family and friends.
UNH Law offers one of the most extensive selection of intellectual property courses in the country, exposing students to a wide range of cutting-edge intellectual property issues. As a pioneer in integrating intellectual property studies into legal education, UNH Law offers students the practical experience needed to handle innovation in today's complex environment. And with a global network of successful alumni connected to the Franklin Pierce tradition, students have access to IP professionals in more than 80 countries.

I had been scheming for months, looking for the right opportunity, and even took the time to craft an engagement ring from a fallen Manzanita tree.
When the opportunity finally arrived for the two of us to go on an adventure together, the plan was to backpack 10 miles, deep into the Ventana Wilderness near Big Sur, and lounge in the refreshing waters of Sykes Hot Springs. This was going to be perfect! So, of course, when the day arrived for us to leave on our adventure we were both hopelessly sick. Luckily that didn't stop us completely. At the last minute, we changed plans to go on a shorter backpacking trip in Henry W. Coe State Park instead.
Alright, not quite as perfect, but still beautiful with some grand vistas. Maybe I could still find the right place to propose. I was a bit nervous and on edge throughout our entire hike, constantly thinking, Is this the right place? Maybe I should do it now? But as the day wore on, so did the opportunities for the perfect proposal. Not only did our runny noses continue running all day, but it also started to rain. It continued raining for the last 3 miles of the hike. By the time we got to our destination Kelly Lake it was freezing, we were soaked, and we were sick. The only respite we could find from the weather was in the alcove of a bathroom constructed on the edge of the lake.
It was in this absolutely miserable situation that, against all odds, Sarah and I found ourselves singing and dancing and laughing without a care in the world. I was having such a good time that the little voice in my head said, This is it. Freezing rain, mountain vistas, and illnesses be damned this was the girl that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with! So, in the alcove of a bathroom with no view to speak of whatsoever, I asked Sarah to marry me. Sick, cold, wet, and happy she said, yes!

Crash near Holiday Inn Express sents four to hospitalStaff Report | June 21,2013PHOTO BY LEN EMERY
A two-vehicle crash in Springfield sent four people to the hospital Wednesday night.SPRINGFIELD A two-vehicle crash Wednesday night in front of the Holiday Inn Express at the junction of Routes 11 and 5 sent four people to Springfield Hospital.
Springfield Police Cpl. Walter Morancy said Thursday that none of the injuries suffered by the four all passengers in the two vehicles appeared to be life-threatening.
Morancy said a vehicle driven by Rena Kingsbury, 38, of Arlington, and a van driven by Phillip OConnor, 43, of Springfield, collided as OConnor made a left turn into the Holiday Inn Express.
Both drivers told Morancy their views were obscured by a tractor-trailer at the intersection, getting ready to turn into the Blue Canoe truck stop.
Morancy said that a passenger in Kingsburys car hit her head on the windshield.
The other injured people were passengers in the van, which overturned after it was hit by Kingsburys car, Morancy said. Those people got hurt by falling on top of each other, he said.
The corporal said he didnt have the names of those people taken to the hospital.
Morancy said there have been several accidents at the intersection of Routes 11 and 5, including a fatal accident involving a motorcyclist.
The truck stop is very busy and traffic is only increasing, he said, adding that many motorists come off Interstate 91, which is a short distance away, at a relatively high rate of speed.
Morancy said the people in the van were initially trapped because the van was on its side, but were able to get out by the rear window.MORE IN Southern VermontBENNINGTON — Ask author and Bennington College graduate Charlotte Silver if the title of...

text: True competition would have a greater impact on the talent not innovation. Story lines are always rehashed and always will be. Problem with no big comp is that good talent only has one true choice and for most that means few pushes and less control over themselves. With a big-time competitor young talent has a chance to progress and established stars can reform themselves by swapping to the competition. Ex Kevin Nash/chris jericho. With a big competitor you have a chance for the midcard talent of one brand to be the star of another brand.

Question for owners of the 2.0 kit
* Have any 2.0 owners updated 1.0 designs that would like to share them?
* How easy or difficult has it been to re-design 1.0 robots using 2.0 parts?
* What parts from 1.0 are you finding you miss the most?
I just want to start a discussion here to understand if there's even a sufficient percentage of 2.0 owners who are trying to use 1.0 material to warrant updating a lot of the 1.0 info.

My wife purchased the NXT 2.0 kit along with the Lego Education 9648 box, a sound sensor and a package of 15 length beams for Christmas for me. So, I'm very fortunate to have, as far as I know, all the parts from 1.0 and then some. However, I have built the Tilted Twister cube solver which was a 1.0 design and I found myself using many MANY parts from the 9648 kit. I would say I would be lost without all the 15 length beams for sure. The 2.0 kit is definitely lacking in the 15 length beams.

I really love the 2.0 Kit - There are some very cool parts which I've never used much, because I didn't had as many as them as in the 2.0 kit.
I bought the book "One Kit Wonders" Together with the set. (Yes, I know it's written for the 1.0 kit)
There is a "big" collection of technic bricks in my collection - But I had one really big problem: The 2.0 set didn't include nearly enough "32278 Technic Liftarm 1 x 15 Straight" (as denoted on lugnet) to build one of the models - Even with all of them from my additional collection I didn't have enough of them.
I helped myself with replacing some of the long beams with shorter ones (Maybe I'll create an ldraw file someday), especially at the sides of the bot.

I have an NXT 1.0 Kit, along with quite a few Technic sets over the years: I have the 1.0 Kit, Off-Roader, Old Technic Farm Harvester, Technic Crane (the treaded one), Technic Cherry Picker. and a few other small sets... And don't have a single problem building robots that require 1.0, 2.0, and\or Edu.

Moritz.... my description of "15 length beams" should be what you called them, 32278 Technic Liftarm 1 x 15 Straight. I guess that makes two of us.....

Because I have quite a large Technic collection, it is no problem for me to build the models. I will just use all the needed parts from my Technic collection

I personally love the Zamor shooter, but I miss the claw pieces, which made robotic arms easier to build. I also wish they had the "normal" gears (z24, z8, z40) Otherwise, I like the stuff included in the box (like the two-length beams with cross axle and round hole) I love my color sensor, too!

If you intend on entering the NXT SUMO contest, you still have more than a week to go. How good is your sumo robot?
One of the best thing you can do to see how well it will do in the ring, is to make a ring your self and see if your robot would last in the ring for five minutes with an inanimate object.

By CAROLE DAVIS
My daddy grew the best tomatoes in all of Oktibbeha County. Vegetable gardening was his hobby. He planted lots of other vegetables all year round, but his tomatoes took the number one prize every summer. We loved his cabbage, cucumbers, okra, beans, turnip greens and turnips. We all enjoyed eating everything he ever planted and harvested. I think daddy was happiest piddling around and sweating in his garden spot.
Mama's' kitchen always smelled absolutely heavenly and very divine. She took the cucumbers, making the greatest chow chow using her metal sharp grater as she cut the cucumber off it's head of cabbage. Chow chow, with its various hues of green, looks magnificent in a pint jar with the label saying, "Ball" jar on the top screwed tightly and securely to be served on the top of daddy's green string beans fresh from his garden. Mama pantry in the kitchen was her very own work of art, and when she opened up the door, it became her master painting for that year. The day she would strew her tomatoes made the whole house just beam with a great big huge smile from all those fabulous smells coming from her pots. She would can the whole tomatoes, and on a cold winter's night we would open one of those jars up from that year's tomato patch put up in the glass jars, sprinkle salt and pepper on the bowl full of tomato, and it was good to the last bite.
My family, mama, daddy and my baby brother, Johnny who was four years younger use to set up our very own tomato stand underneath the now 101 year old pecan tree near our drive way and really near the busy Louisville Street. We hand made our own sign which read, "Homegrown Tomatoes For Sale. Honk Horn If We Are Not Here."
We had white scales to weight daddy's prize tomatoes, and we had so much fun waving to folks as they slowly passed by and glanced our way all morning long. We even had regular customers, and suddenly we had money jingling in our blue jean pockets. I turned to my little brother, "Hey, Johnny its Saturday afternoon, want to go up town to the Rex picture show and take in a Western movie this hot afternoon? Let's go and ask Mama if we can take a break and go down the lane (which is now called Wood Street) and cut through going on to Main Street." "We probably have enough to go on down to the Britt's Cafe (which is now The Starkville Cafe') or even to Bell's Cafe'. Let's go on inside the front door and ask Mama if we can go, want to?"
Mama agreed, and off we scooted toward Main Street. We loaded up on hot popcorn spilling half of it in the dark picture show finding our seats, real sodas in Coke Cola tiny bottles, big round suckers and Junior Mints. The picture show really began after all the future previews of cowboy movies coming up for the rest of this summer.
We were literally raised growing up and eating millions and millions of daddy's homegrown tomatoes, and he loved to plant, nurture and pick his very favorite brand called, "The Big Boy Tomato!" Sometimes one might just be 4 pounds in weight. We would sprinkle salt on one and gobble it down very quickly and reach for another one. We shared and gave our friends and family tomatoes as love gifts showering our appreciation on many other friends showing them of our love for their own love and friendship to us all year long.
A tomato is really a fruit, but we consider a tomato one Mississippi's number one vegetable. We treasure our tomatoes on our over-100 degree days and slightly cooler nights. We use to just sit on our big 'ole wrap around porch eating a tomato as if it were our desert. Our heat down here in the deep south is unbearable some of the July and August days and nights, and a freshly picked tomato right off the vine is worth a million dollars to us as it slides down into our tummies!
Over 30 years ago on an early Sept.27 in the 1980s I was all grown up with three wonderful children and six grandchildren of my very own along with my dear sweet husband. I suppose I was remembering my own early memories of my happy childhood, and I wanted to paint some of Daddy's fine "Big Boy Tomatoes." I went out the back screen door down here at the 'ole house, heard the back screen door slam behind me and heard Mama saying, "Carole, don't slam that door, and don't let the house flies inside!"
I made my way down to daddy's tomato patch and picked four of his very last big tomatoes off vines. I reached over and plucked three of his long green peppers. I brought them all back inside and went right to the sink in our big old-fashioned kitchen with those 12-foot-tall ceilings and began to wash them underneath the sink faucet. I got out the round tin pan with holes in the bottom to let the water drain from the tomatoes and peppers. I looked up in the tall cabinet, climbed up on a tall stool and got out a red/brown wooden basket type of bowl. I placed them all inside the bowl.
I went over to the round kitchen table and placed a bright green place mat underneath the now filled bowl with tomatoes and peppers. I got out all of my water colors, popped up my easel and begin to sketch what I saw right in front of me. I was going to paint on a 12-inch-by-16-inch hard watercolor board. Our entire big 'ole kitchen had become my art studio for the day. I was in my own little heaven now, and inside my own secret bubble world creating a sweet, delicious memory of my own growing up days of so many years ago.
Let's start reading the painting which I titled, "The Last 4 Tomatoes and 3 Peppers Of Summer!" Look at the light blue background and as your eyes travel to the right side it is slightly bluer in color. This blue cools down the hot orange/red tomatoes and the warm lime greens of the peppers. Look at the light, dark and even touches of dark maroon/black I used in the wooden bowl.
Your eyes move immediately to the four orange/red tomatoes. They are absolutely juicy, delicious and so beautiful! The most detailed tomato is at the very top of the other tomatoes. This one is resting on the top of both of the middle tomatoes, and the fourth one is showing some of her green underneath the top of the tomato turned upside down, but really is the top of the tomato. Find the three green peppers. The brightest one is the bright green pepper. The other two peppers are golden yellow with touches of lime green. Find the stems of the peppers too. And let your eyes go to the bottom of the wooden bowl. See it the darkest brown holding the bowl together at the bottom. I love the almost black back at the top of the bowl making your eyes just love the top tomato. I used the even number of four tomatoes and the bowl makes the odd number of 5 to become more artistically eye-appealing. I think this colored wooden bowl complimented the four tomatoes and added that almost same orange/red color. The three peppers gave me the odd number to artistically appeal to your eyes. I loved the light lemon yellow of the edge of the round kitchen table, and the same "Saint Patrick Green" color of the table mat blended in well with the three peppers too.
"The Last 4 Tomatoes and 3 Peppers of Daddy's Summer Garden" hangs on our kitchen wall today in the year 2012. I enjoy looking at it every day as I look up on the wall by the wavy glass door which leads us out into the screened in wrap-around porch to a wonderful squeaky white swing.
I know that I can never go back to my childhood, but having the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity be able to live in our family home here where I grew up can make old memories come alive once again. I can close my eyes and feel like Johnny and myself are back out on the front sidewalk with our sign up surrounded by hundreds of tomatoes around us underneath the 'ole pecan tree waiting for a customer to drive by and stop and buy a sack of Daddy's tomatoes. I can still smell Mama's tomatoes stewing on top of her hot stove in the hot summer time early morning before it got to hot... that she put the tomatoes up in the old Ball fruit jars for a cold winter's night supper with crackers and lots of salt and pepper on them served in a big old heavy bowl. I can see us both skipping up town to the Rex Theater/ Picture Show, and hear the cowboys shooting their guns at the outlaws. I can hear the horn honking for us to come out the front screen door, hearing it slam behind us and the words, "Hello.We'll buy some tomatoes from y'all! Only two things that money can't buy: That's true love and homegrown tomatoes.

Anderson Silva 5: TRT USERS 0 Hendo - Forrest - Nate - Chael... twice
I always heard Roy's movement and shoulder roll left him open to an overhand because his hands were so low all the time but his speed kept him out of trouble for years. Guess the move up in weight just slowed him down enough to make it a reality.

White: Silva motivated for Weidman, but UFC will talk about Roy Jones Jr. fight
UFC President Dana White tends to believe Silva when he says it was a technique goof more than acting like a goof against Weidman, ducking and dodging and mugging.
Ive talked to him at length about it, and hes got this thing where his foot was in the wrong position, and had his foot been in a different position that would have never happened, White recently told FOX Sports Live on FOX Sports 1. I mean, how do you question Anderson Silva? The guys a master. He loses one fight, the critics dive in and start ripping him apart, like they know what the hell theyre talking about. Look what the guy has accomplished in his career. Maybe it was one little foot movement. Well find out Dec. 28.
But White also acknowledges that in some ways, Silva might have been able to avoid the upset loss or at least avoid many of the critics had he not been messing around.
So which version of the Brazilian is going to be in Las Vegas? The one who smashed every UFC titleholder record, or the one who found himself waking up wondering when the lights went out?
White believes itll be the former.
Thats the big question of this fight, White said. Everybodys asking which Anderson Silva is going to show up. Is he going to mess around like he did last time? Whats he going to do? Who knows. I can tell you this: I think hes going to show up and be focused, and be as sharp as hes ever been and try to win this fight. Thats what I think hes going to do.
And if that happens, maybe the UFC boss will be willing to consider a crossover fight that Silva and professional boxer Roy Jones Jr. have been talking about for years.
Jones, 44, has 64 pro fights. But the one both he and Silva have been pining after is a boxing match against each other. And Jones recently told Boxing News he believes that fight will happen if Silva beats Weidman to recapture the UFCs middleweight title.
He said thats his lifelong dream, Jones said. Weve got to make that happen. If (Silva) beats Weidman, then well do a boxing match, which is what he wants to do. If he beats Weidman, Ive got to be ready for it because hes going to be coming for me and I want to be ready when he comes for me. I want to give him what he wants.
So how serious of a possibility is that? White has been answering questions about such a fights plausibility for years, but now it seems like its something he might consider especially since Jones is planning to be cageside a week after he fights Zine Eddine Benmakhlouf for the WBU cruiserweight title in Russia.
These two drive me crazy. They drive me crazy, White said. First of all, Roy Jones Jr. is a longtime friend of mine. When I was a 19-year-old kid in the boxing business, Roy Jones was very good to me. So Im in this position where I feel like Roy wants to fight him, he wants to fight Roy I feel like Im in this position to try to make both of these guys happy. But it drives me crazy.
I would love Roy Jones Jr. to focus on his next opponent and Anderson to focus on his. Well talk about all this stuff. I know Roys coming to the fight well see what happens.
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
I don't care how uneven it will be. I want to see this fight happen.
There have been worse spectacles in MMA than RJJ entering the Octagon with Anderson Silva. A gentleman's agreement to boxing in the cage with 4 oz gloves would be nothing short of epic.
WTF is all this 'greatest fighter ive ever seen bullshit?
Unless you are all a bunch of un-boxing educated fools ( which i know many of you arent).
I can rattle of 20 names of the top of my head that were better boxers than RJJ.
Youtube highlights are not good points of reference.
I thought we had some fightt fans in here!?
His defense was impeccable. His counters were lightning-fast. His lead hook was insane. His body attacks were incredible. Even more, he beat great fighters and made them look amateurish. Tuned up Hopkins, toney, Virgil hill,
From 94-01 he was the greatest I have seen. Not tyson, Lewis, jcc, mayweather, de la Hoya, or Leonard.
Later, he faded and lost to good but not great pros. But during that time he was the best.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars

Puffins at East Egg Rock, Maine
- Login to add to Favorites
- 1 Comment
Yankee Classic from August 1983 by Ron Winslow
Steve Kress worked diligently to establish a breeding colony of puffins at East Egg Rock. First the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service removed the seagull population, then Kress and helpers imported puffin chicks from Newfoundland. The first real sign of success was when workers observed adult puffins returning to the island carrying fish to feed chicks.
It was 5:55, just before sunrise, when I ducked into an upside-down plywood box that served as a bird blind on an island outpost at the mouth of Muscongus Bay. I perched on an inverted garbage can and peered through the small windows that were protected with strips of burlap. I had binoculars and a camera. I scanned the nearby boulders, hoping to see a puffin. By 6:30 I was restless and impatient. Then I caught myself. Steve Kress has spent the better part of the last ten summers trying to recognize Maine's East Egg Rock Island with puffins, the species that dominated it a century ago. The project is a monument to patience, and I had come here to spend the day expecting to see a puffin on demand.
Entitled or not, at 6:40 a small puffin with a band on each leg landed on a rock about 20 feet in front of me. I lunged for my binoculars, rattling the garbage can underneath me, then stopped, holding my breath, afraid I'd scare the bird away. The puffin preened itself and finally walked down the side of the rock and disappeared. Within five minutes, the puffin returned. Two minutes later a second puffin appeared. Another minute and a third landed on a rock. Ten years ago I would not have been treated to this show. I was watching the results of a nine-year project replete with patience, disappointment, dedication, and love.
A Puffin is a small seabird with a black back, snow-white breast, short orange legs, and webbed feet. Its most striking feature is its oversized beak, a rainbow of red-orange, yellow, and gray. The puffin's most appealing characteristic, however, is its eyes. Small and dark against the bird's gray-white face, they are highlighted by markings that give the puffin an innocent, vulnerable expression that looks just plain friendly.
As early as the 1880s, puffins were virtually extinct along the northern New England coast, the southern frontier of their range. They were the victims of fishermen who, in search of meat and eggs, stretched huge herring nets over the rocks at night on such islands as Eastern Egg Rock, covering the crevices where puffins made their nests and cared for their young.
By 1900 the birds were so scarce that both federal and state legislation was passed to protect them and other birds from excessive hunting. But it was too late for the puffin along Maine's coastline. The state's entire puffin population was reduced to a couple of breeding pair on Matinicus Rock. By 1970 that island's population had increased to about 50, but no new puffin colonies had been established along the coast.
Steve Kress decided to change that. "It was simply a conscious desire to increase the diversity of Maine seabirds," says Kress, who was then a bird instructor at the Maine Audubon Camp which he now directs. "Without some conscious effort to manage some of these species, we could lose them."
Kress is a stocky, round-faced man whose even temperament masks the intensity of his commitment to wildlife. He chose puffins because their story most dramatically illustrated the plight of seabirds, especially their conservation along the Maine coast. It was a bird that had not recovered and was clearly unable to recover from the abuse it suffered from humans when it was avidly hunted in the 19th century. Then there's just the bird's special appeal.

So, next year will be year of The Witcher III : Wild Hunt.
Our March cover story gives a world-exclusive peek into the next generation of RPGs with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This standalone sequel takes the fascinating stories and characters, non-linear plotlines, and difficult decisions that the franchise is known for and puts them all in an open world 30 times larger than the previous game – an enormous setting even larger than Skyrim's vast expanse, made possible with the new REDengine 3 technology that developer CD Projekt RED is debuting with the game. Our huge feature dives into everything The Witcher 3 has to offer, and it's a lot: the detective work that precedes deadly combat when monster hunting, storylines that weave and twist together between political intrigue and otherworldly menaces, and a tired hero who wants to set things right but can't put down his swords until his conscience allows – if it ever does.

What do I do with all these grains?!
Indeed, they do grow and grow and grow... However, the good news is that they are so loaded with probiotic bacteria and yeasts that you will want to give them to everyone you know.
This article is the third in a series that began with a request we put in the November Moosletter for folks to recommend a good source for kefir grains. We received so much information that it was way too much for one article, so we did three: 1. Ordering them, 2. Growing them, 3. Using them and shipping them to friends.
Ways to Use Kefir:
These are the suggestions we received from our readers who answered our request for information in the November Moosletter:
Another thing I do, btw, is give my dog extra kefir grains when I have no one to pass them on to. She loves them.
Joy Metcalf
I've started making water kefir, which I love, in the last several months, and have also used my grains to help the fermentation process when I make sauerkraut and pickles.
I still use goat's milk to make the milk kefir, and I think that's why my grains multiply so well. Plus, I think an environment has developed in my kitchen that helps the grains to grow.
Lynn Knight
I have had them for about a month and I have been making a half gallon of kefir every 48 hours. Just made 1 1/2 cups of kefir cream cheese and put it on sour dough pizza crust today for lunch - yum! I am loving making kefir and putting the whey in my sour dough bread and soups.
Tanya Winchenbach
Betty Kriel
Kathy Schweitz
My daughter has colitis and she drinks it almost every day, and her symptoms are alleviated somewhat. The times she doesn't drink it for a while, the more discomfort she feels. I am a big fan of kefir! Two of my children like it and two do not. We flavor it with vanilla, or molasses, or agave syrup when we're looking for a treat.
Lynn Andrade
Sending Grains to Friends:
We heard from many readers on this subject. When you grow grains, you end up sharing the excess with friends and even sending them to folks in the mail. That's why there are so many kefir growers online willing to send grains, many for just the cost of shipping.
(At least one of our responders, Monique Trahan, wrote a blog article about her grains and another about a cheese press she made.)
Our "super responder of the month award" (which earned her our undying love and affection) goes to Betty Kriel, from Texas who sent us step-by-step directions and pictures of the whole process. She researched all this when her mother from South Africa came to the US to visit her. Her mother didn't know how to preserve her grains during the 6 weeks she would be away, so she threw them out. Betty had to send her more, so she did some research and learned a couple of ways to do it:
Two Shipping Methods
By Betty Kriel
There are two ways to dry and transport kefir which I've used:
1. One is to dry grains out for a day and put them in milk powder - if you're traveling, for instance, and the grains will only be kept in limbo for a short period of time.
2. If you want to ship grains over the country, as I did earlier this year to my mom in South Africa, then it's better to dry them out completely before shipping - posting them can take weeks and the grains in milk powder will probably start smelling weird if posted.
|Live kefir grains in jug of milk.
1. Transporting air dried kefir grains in milk powder
1. Wash live kefir grains in spring or distilled drinking water until the water is not milky anymore. Do not use chlorinated tap water.
|Kefir grains ready to wash in spring water.
|Washing kefir grains.
3. Dry with paper towel to get rid of excess water.
|Drying on a paper towel.
|Grains ready to air dry for 24 hours.
|Grains covered with cloth while drying.
|Container filled with any kind of milk powder.
|Air dried kefir grains are still spongy to the touch.
|Kefir grains buried in milk powder.
6. Take the grains out of the milk powder - discard the milk powder.
|"Treasure Hunting" - taking the grains out of the milk powder.
|Kefir in bottle, ready to be revived.
|Fresh milk added to grains.
10. Wait 24 hours, stirring periodically with a plastic spoon or twirling the jar to mix in the grains with the milk. Note: the mixture may have a very unpleasant extra sour/"rotty" smell for the first couple of days and may also have a pink/grey/yellow-ish color - this is OK. You may also notice a thick residue forming on top of the mixture for a couple of days. This is also OK.
|Grains already revived after 24 hours.
|Strained kefir grains.
|Kefir grains back in the bottle.
|Grains in fresh milk.
|Grains still a bit yellow.
|Grains back in the bottle.
|Fresh milk added.
|Strained kefir grains ready to be consumed.
2. Sending air dried kefir grains via postal system (for weeks at a time)
1. Wash live kefir grains in spring or distilled drinking water till the water is not milky anymore. Do not use chlorinated tap water.
2. Break up kefir grains into smaller pieces (about ¼ inch or smaller) - some grains may produce slimy "strings" when pulled apart - this is OK, normal.
3. Dry with paper towel to get rid of excess water.
4. Place kefir grains on plate and cover with netting/mesh/doily to air dry on the kitchen counter - let it dry until completely dried out and hard to the touch. This should take several days. The dried grains will be yellowish and look almost like dried pasta pieces/small dried squashed up macaroni pieces.
5. Once completely dried out, the grains can be placed in a Ziploc bag. Push out as much air as you can and close the bag. It's now ready for shipping. You can of course also use vacuum packing.
I packed the grains like this and sent them off to my mother in South Africa in 2011. It took about two weeks for the parcel/envelope to reach her. She followed the process below to get them activated:
6. Put kefir grains in a glass/plastic jar and fill with about two cups of fresh/store bought milk.
7. Cover with a clean cloth or cap (not too tight to allow gas from the fermentation process to escape) and set aside at room temperature.
8. Wait 24 hours, stirring periodically with a plastic spoon or twirling the jar to mix in the grains with the milk. Note: the mixture may have a very unpleasant extra sour/"rotty" smell for the first couple of days and may also have a pink/grey/yellow-ish color - this is OK. You may also notice a thick residue forming on top of the mixture for a couple of days. This is also OK.
9. Strain out the kefir grains with a plastic or stainless steel strainer, put the grains back into a clean jar and repeat the process above in steps 6, 7 and 8 till the grains are white and the mixture has a pleasant/"normal" smell and taste. This will take a couple of days - depending on the amount of kefir and milk used, it may take up to a week or slightly more to get the grains back to life again.

ACParadise Network: American Cosplay Paradise American Cosplay Experience American Cosplay Snapshots
I've been cosplaying since 2003 when I went to my first convention (I thought people were supposed to cosplay at conventions) Although my first few costumes were bought/thrift-shopped, I'm glad I stuck with this hobby long enough to start making my own costumes and friends!
Right now I am taking it easy with cosplay, only making the occasional costume.
Thanks so much to Jason of i360.com for donating celestial to me!!!

Thought the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG had an extraordinarily powerful 2.0-litre turbocharged four-pot engine? Think again. And then think some more, because Audi has just revealed the TT Sport Quattro Concept in Geneva. It has a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4cyl. And it has 420bhp.
The fight is on... "This car is designed for racing," explains Dr Ulrich Hackenberg, Audi's board member for technical development. And that engine is quite a development.

I'm going to do a storyboard or comic of one of the scenes from the watch books. But I don't know which one. The only scenes that have popped into my head aren't very suitable to do a comic of. So, instead of reading each book again, I'll ask you.
Do you know a scene or some scenes from the watch books suited for a comic? If yes, please tell me.

The Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities (IDAH) creates networks of faculty and technologists for developing digital collections, tools, and methods for research and creative activity. Specializing in audiovisual media, IDAH assists faculty in the life cycle of research from conceptualizing projects, designing prototypes, and preparing grant applications; to archiving, publishing, performance, and display. IDAH advocates for the needs of faculty and special collections in the development of campus infrastructure for the preservation, access, and dissemination of this research and creative activity. IDAH also supports graduate students and upper level under graduate students through the HASTAC scholars program and partners in developing courses in digital arts and humanities on the IUB campus.
The Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities was initiated in 2007 by the Office of the Vice Provost for Research at Indiana University, Bloomington. IDAH focuses on the use of media and digital technology in research and creative activity.
IDAH works with faculty to provide an in-depth understanding of the life-cycle of research data and the implications of their work as they undertake projects involving digital technologies. IDAH assists faculty in the beginning stages of project conception, design, and development, and directs faculty to the appropriate campus units which will assist them in the middle and end stages of preservation of, and access to, data once a project has been implemented. Integral partners in all of this work include Libraries Digital Collection Services, the Advanced Visualization Laboratory, UITS Cyberinfrastructure for Digital Humanities, the Pervasive Technology Institute, the College and Professional Schools, University Information Technology Services, the Archives of Traditional Music, and the Media Digitization and Preservation Initiative.
IDAH provides leadership in innovative research and ground breaking projects, and is a partner in educational initiatives and curriculum development. IDAH is also engaged in outreach to the IUB community and beyond through its website, Facebook and Twitter. Across campus IDAH provides a forum for disseminating information about, and building collaboration among, small and large-scale digital arts and humanities projects.
The IDAH offices and conference room, located on the first floor of the East Tower of the Wells Library, serves as a campus hub for individual consultations with faculty, as well as for IDAH presentations, special topic seminars, classes related to digital arts and humanities, and graduate student programs. Faculty may also reserve designated project cubicles within the IDAH office on a semester-by-semester basis to work on a specific digital project. The IDAH office, project spaces, and conference room complement and contribute to the Libraries' Scholar's Commons programs, and well situated for encouraging faculty to drop in to seek advice on research projects or to discuss nascent ideas.

Sounds to me like the wp8 metro app, if that's what you're using, isn't taking the cloud listing to note at all when it moves things over etc. Same for the desktop app if that's the one, seems like someone forgot to take that into account. Hope for updates to the apps to fix these little quirks.
Speaking of which, what happens if you just manually drag and drop songs to your phone via explorer and not through the apps?

Didn't think to try that yet because that wouldn't be acceptable for me, but I'll give it a try sometime soon and try to remember to come share my results .
Speaking of which, what happens if you just manually drag and drop songs to your phone via explorer and not through the apps?
I completely agree with you - I hope the music collection management situation is addressed in the first WP8 update and updates to Windows 8/WP app,
And yeah, the experience when you have both local and cloud versions is less than idea... I really wish there were an option, at the very least, to "hide cloud track when matching track is available on the phone". And that, of course, should be the default eventually.
At least they're marked in some views so you know which one is which, and don't accidentally use up all your data plan... though that could be clearer, and in EVERY possible view.
And playlist creation is lacking as well. It needs to be much easier and more obvious, and should be doable from anywhere, at any time.

Reason 2: The removed feature
What I neglected to mention was the details of a single changed feature; Zune Music was replaced with Xbox music. However, in doing so, the Zune Media Player isn't used to sync with Windows Phone anymore. If you run Windows 8, there's an app that's pretty terrible for syncing, while the situation for Windows 7 users is so bad that the best media sync app is Windows Media Player. You know, the one that's existed since Windows 98 in one form or another. It gets worse though. Where Zune allowed for Wireless sync, arguably one of the best features of WP7, Wireless sync is completely absent from Windows Phone 8.
Rather than re-hash what's already been said, let me simply redirect you to here, here, or here to see what others are saying.

Just something to add to this discussion, I was hoping to try to add music via drag and drop today but my surface was running terribly slow (unusable).
Come to find out, when I saw "Downloading" in the Music app yesterday, it was actually re-downloading what seems to be my entire collection and creating duplicates in the Music library until it ran out of storage space (I see as many as 3 copies of some songs). I am inclined to agree with you, GP007, there is something terribly wrong with the Music app.
I'm guessing I need to post something to MS Answers...
I wasn't aware music/playlist sync was a feature of Windows Phone 8
I wish I was joking, but read this:

Powerful contours, sweeping curves and unmistakable Jaguar styling give XK a dynamic on-road presence.
Bask in the sunshine and enjoy the roar of the powerful V8 engine. You can raise or lower XK Convertible's roof automatically in less than 18 seconds. Once raised, the triple-lined fabric offers superb protection from the elements, wind and road noise.
The roof disappears into the bodywork when lowered and is covered by an aluminium tonneau cover.
Distinctive Bi-function HID Xenon headlamps, with integral LED daytime running lights and automatic levelling, give XK a unique visual signature. Built in washers ensure a clear view of the world after dark. Cornering lights illuminate areas to the side of the car at low speeds or when you're parking.
The optional Adaptive Front Lighting system features dynamic headlamps that pivot in response to your speed and steering. They can deflect headlamp beams by up to 15 degrees to throw light deeper into corners as you turn.
Powerfold door mirrors fold back to help you with parking or when driving through narrow spaces. These convenient mirrors also feature auto-dimming to reduce glare at night and heating to improve visibility in adverse weather conditions.
A range of Option Packs offers the opportunity for increased personalisation, performance and individuality.
The Speed Pack, available on XKR, increases the car's maximum speed to 174mph and includes 20 inch Nevis alloy wheels, a body-coloured rear diffuser and side sill extensions.
XKR's ride and driving capabilities can be further uprated with the Dynamic Pack. This includes Speed Pack features, plus extensive revisions to the suspension including a forged and fully machined front knuckle for improved steering precision, bespoke spring and damper settings, revised Adaptive Dynamics and a 10mm reduction in ride height. The pack also includes forged, lightweight 20 inch Vortex Gloss Black and Diamond Turned Finish alloy wheels. The Dynamic Black Pack is also available as an option, and includes both Dynamic and Black Pack features combined with 20 inch Vortex Gloss Black and Diamond Turned Finish alloy wheels.
Front and Rear Parking assistance can provide valuable assistance when parking. Ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumpers are designed to give an audible warning if an object is detected within 1.8m of the front or rear of the car. Visual indicators showing the proximity of objects are also displayed on the Touch-screen.
Discreetly hidden in the boot lid finisher, the optional reverse park camera shows the area to the rear of the car on the Touch-screen when reverse gear is selected. Combined with the Rear Park aid functionality, it offers even greater reassurance during low-speed reversing manoeuvres.
Keep a clear view at all times thanks to sensors that detect rain on the windscreen and activate the wipers at the most effective speed.
You can choose from four exterior paint palettes: Standard, Premium, Special and Race Inspired. The Race Inspired palette includes three colours: British Racing Green, Italian Racing Red and on XKR-S, French Racing Blue.

Suspect arrested in Nevada in death of Arizona man
PRESCOTT, Ariz. � Northern Arizona authorities say a suspect wanted in connection with a homicide in Prescott has been arrested in Nevada.
Prescott police said Monday that 61-year-old Charles "Chuck" Todd was taken into custody in Henderson, Nev., where he lives.
They say Todd is being held awaiting extradition to Arizona to face first-degree murder charges.
Police say 52-year-old David W. Mueller died in his Prescott home on Nov. 16.
They say Todd was a friend of the Mueller family and spent some time with Mueller's wife in both Prescott and Henderson.
Investigators served search warrants in Henderson, Boulder City and Prescott and say they obtained evidence related to the homicide.
Details of how Mueller died aren't immediately available, but police say he had been dealing with some medical issues at the time.

I purchased this product for my mother and when she received the box, a few sheets were damaged. We're trying to straighten them out. Other than that, the order is fine...

Beautiful book with high quality pages and refills. I ordered this to make a scrapbook so that my husband and I could remember our wedding anniversaries for many years to come. This was purchased as a gift for our 1st anniversary.
