Outstanding success for East 15 students
East 15 students have won the Laurence Olivier Bursary for an unprecedented seventh time!
The most prestigious award in the drama school world, and only open to students from accredited drama schools, the Laurence Olivier Bursary 2008 is worth £7,500 and was given to East 15's Frances McNamee.
Frances, who is from Durham and on the second-year of her BA Acting course, said: "I was thrilled as I really didn't expect to win. I went in thinking that this would just be a really good experience and an opportunity to be on stage in front of some rather important people. So, when I found out I'd won, I nearly fainted. It was amazing, such a great day!"
"I am going to use some of the money now for headshots and the like but I will save most of it for my third year and graduation, as I can use it to help me then when I'm trying to break into the industry."
Two other East 15 students on this course have also been given awards, with Thomas Nelson winning a prize worth £2,500 as part of the Laurence Olivier Bursary and Daniel Jenkins awarded the Sir John Gielgud Bursary of £4,000.
Jill Colby, Head of Second Year BA Acting and tutor to these students, said: "East 15 is deeply honoured to have both our nominated students awarded major bursaries from the Laurence Olivier Trust. It is particularly gratifying as this is as a result of both an acting and a singing audition in competition with all the accredited courses."
"Another of our nominees, Daniel Jenkins, was awarded the Sir John Gielgud Bursary as a result of outstanding achievement over his second year. The money available to students via these schemes is an invaluable help to them over the expensive third year of their course, when the long hours often preclude working for the extras that student loans can't provide. Photographs alone can cost anything from £300 to £600. We are both proud of our students and appreciative of the help that these trusts, from the funds of two of our most distinguished actors from the past, can give to promising actors of the future."

Canadian spot gas skids on moderate weather
CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Canadian spot natural gas prices fell on Wednesday as moderate weather forecasts left little prospect of higher heating demand in key markets and futures fell.
Spot gas at the AECO storage hub in southeastern Alberta dropped 16 Canadian cents to average C$3.54 a gigajoule.
Deals were done between C$3.47 and C$3.65 a GJ.
Canadian spot gas prices are nearly unchanged from a year ago on concerns about weak demand while production rises, particularly from shale-gas fields in the United States, and high inventories of the fuel remain a worry.
Last week's U.S. Energy Information Administration report showed total gas inventories rose to 1.638 trillion cubic feet. That was 16 billion cubic feet, or 1 percent, below last year's level but 160 bcf, or 11 percent, above the five-year average.
A Reuters poll on Wednesday showed inventories were expected to climb 29 bcf when weekly EIA storage data is released on Thursday at 10:30 a.m. EDT (1430 GMT).
Stocks rose an adjusted 17 bcf for the same week last year, while the five-year average gain for that week is 11 bcf.
In weather, Environment Canada called for Toronto highs to remain above the 10 Celsius (50 Fahrenheit) seasonal average for most of the next six days, with the exception of Friday, when the temperature is expected to dip to 6 C (43 F).
Southern Alberta temperatures are forecast to be at or just above seasonal averages Thursday, then cool to below the 10 C (50 F) norm through Tuesday, the agency said. Continued...

My Opus is mounted to the same board as my mobo. I want to make it so that I can easily take the whole thing out of my trunk when I want to. So, what I need to do is wire my opus to my car with a plug that can been easily be disconnected. I will be grounding to the chassis, using my remote turn on wire from my amps as the ignition wire, and running the power 12v to the power distro block for my amps. Does any have any suggestions as to what sort of plug I can use. I intended to use 8 awg power wires from the opus wire to the block and to the ground. Obviously I'm not gonna find a 14 (stock opus???) awg to 8 awg plug.
No announcement yet.
Gathering Ideas . . . Disconnect plug for Opus power
new posts
nooo! dont run that kind of power through 3.5mm plugs! unless you want to let out the puff of magic smoke
as far as plugs go, something like these would work good肚子笑痛了
S60 Install
3.5mm jack...
Why don't you jack the Opus connector and plug in a 10AWG wire, as the 8AWG won't fit as it's too thick.
Be carefuk when using any type of pin/socket conenctor (like HDD molex ones) as when the sockets open up the connection is poor and you get a high resistance and thus heat etc etc.
I have a lot of experience with melted connectors from my RC car days and I can recomend the Anderson Power Products single pole connectors. You can make them up into blocks of as many connectors you want in various shapes as they clip together and they come in various colours and power ratings. YOu can also create a keyed setup to prevent any wrong connections.
they are a curved blade that is pushed in contact with a spring. As long as you put them together right they work very well. Just make sure you get one big enough for the wire you use.
EDIT: you can find these connectors at lots of places including model shops and Radio Spares.
EDIT2: you want the 'Powerpole' series. eg http://www.andersonpower.com/products/pp/pp.html
or the locking type (dunno what the locking bit means)
Hmm, would a computer PSU style connector be OK too? I guess there shouldnt be problem as it would handle enough current, it should be strong enough and durable, and it wouldnt allow a mis-connectionRoy

Any ideas for putting a PC in this? :)

Reasonable request
It is a rainy day.A woman in a pleated skirt
Goes into the library
Approaches an earnest-looking young librarian
And says: "I need a book."
"What kind of book do you need?Asks the librarian."I need a book with paper pages,
And neat printing
On two of the six sides of each page."
"That is a reasonable request
For two reasons,"Says the librarian."First, this is a library,
And for the convenienceOf the general public
Books with paper pages
Are stored in libraries such as this."
"And, second, four of the six sidesOf a piece of paper
Are insufficiently large in surface area
To carry print of a size
Which can comfortably be readBy the human eye."
"Would you mind awfully
If I punch you on the nose?"
Says the woman in the pleated skirt.
"I find your attitude
Insufferably pedantic,
Even for a librarian."
The libraries do not fool us

Travelodge Cardiff Atlantic Wharf
The noise from the air conditioning of the Casino is very annoying when you are trying to sleep, but even more so is that their smoking area faces the Travelodge resulting in extremely loud, noisy people.
That said, the staff at the Travelodge are excellent, very helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. If I were to stay again I would make sure that I asked to be positioned well away from the Casino.

Convenient location
Always stay here when in Cardiff as within walking distance of all attractions in the Bay area and city centre is walkable in about 20 mins but there is a train shuttle in to town for less than £2.
Hotel is clean and has everything needed for a stay ... comfy bed, food on site, free parking and really good customer service. We were on the 4th floor which was really quiet.

gdv replied to nitro322's topic in Universal ExtractorFirst of all, thank you for this terrific utility. I'm not a developer or programmer, but I use it occasionally to check what version is packed in a saved download or look for documentation, etc., and I really appreciate it!!! I would appreciate an option to keep Universal Extractor open when it completes its task. Often when I use it, I want to check several files, and it would be nice if it just stayed open to be re-used. I didn't know (until yesterday when I was browsing the forum) that you had included context menu commands with the installer version, and I had simply installed it as a standalone. I've now run the installer and the context menus certainly make it simpler to access, and reduce the need for the option to have it stay open. But if it isn't too difficult, I would still appreciate that option. Thanks!

USDJPY Daily Forecast: April 18
USDJPY Forecast
The USDJPY bearish momentum was stopped yesterday after a failure to break below 80.23 key support area and hit 81.42 earlier today. The bias is bullish in nearest term testing 81.80. Immediate support is seen around 80.80. A clear break below that area could lead price to neutral zone in nearest term retesting 80.23 – 79.52 support area, which remains a good place to buy with a stop loss below 79.52.

Thanks Red! Your samples definitely helped out a great deal, and even gave me a favorite! L'instant Extreme of course.
chipper - I'd have to say it'd be Custo Man. It's by Francis Kurkdjian, the same guy who made Le Male. It's more accessible for me, and there's more going on, so it's pretty damn good. Sweet Redemption isn't bad per se, but it's not great.
Whats your favorite orange blossom scent?
Dude - all I'll say is that your nose has come a L-O-N-G way. I am getting some great advice from you here. Thanks for the awesome report!
Thanks! I have fun posting these. I'll definitely have to try those out!
I enjoyed reading your entry. Your delivery is freakin hilarious. Liked your blog entry about NYC. It can be overwhelming, Ive never heard BG described as a wormhole, priceless.
About your entry, you like what you like. I love CN a lot. But I also like Idole too. If you want to try something a little different try things like Odin #4, it has a cassis note and its not overly heavy(IMO), Humaniste from Frapin(boozy) and maybe Ulrich Lang #2(rhubarb no less)
They are not overly pricey, well maybe the Frapin. Buy a few samples and try them out.
Each person has different tastes and styles. Thats one of the reasons there are so many frags out there.
Cheers Rex
Not really. Well, I can't really make any connections. Someone else might be able to though! For light fragrances I wear Creed's MI/SMW, L'Artisan's MeM, Etat Libre d'Orange's Tilda Swinton Like This, Gucci Pour Homme II, Kenzo Power, and Hermes Un Jardin sur le Nil. I've dreamt of having a beautifully realistic aquatic (I ordered a sample of Sel Marin, I'm hopeful) and I don't think I could ever try too many fruity fragrances. The only issue with fruit fragrances is how synthetic they can be and how sweet they usually are.
When it comes to warm fragrances I adore ones that are rich and smooth: CN21, By Kilian's Back to Black, and Hermes' Ambre Narguile are all fantastic. I don't mind ones that are a bit spicy, like L'instant Extreme, but I don't do ones that are intensely spicy, like Idole de Lubin. They hurt my nose. I also like booziness! I may have liked Pure Malt had it not had the patchouli note, but I can't be sure. I'm a vanilla nut, but haven't found any real loves yet. I would love Spiritueuse Double Vanille (booziness AND vanilla!) had the cedar not been so strong. If the cedar was really quiet, I probably would love it much more.
Double post!
Do the 'fumes you love have something in common? Perfumes The Guide has brief descriptions of all the 'fumes. The Excel work book has them in col. D Are your favorites mostly in one family (oriental, fougere, ...) or do they have some notes in common?
Why thank you! I try and explain myself the best I can. Definitely still a learning experience.
Oh and I got a third bottle of By Man I got them all from eBay. I made sure they were both white under the cap. A lot of the people I messaged on there said it was black, so unfortunately there's a LOT of fakes.
2 bottles of By Man ? What are you, part of the Mafia You must have a good source here. I bought a sample, but for some reason I feel it was "off". It was just a sweet smelling scent with mild powder and poor strength. I'll have to check some other place out.
Noir de Noir is something I should have sampled by now. Its got rose ! I have been searching for a rose forever (forever = the last 7 months). It sounds a bit like Lyric Man because of the saffran. Come to think of it, I think Washington Tremlett's Black Tie is a rose masculine with a saffran note. But the saffran is kind of stronger that Lyric Man. Anyways, your Noir de Noir experience sounded good and makes me look forward to trying this Tom Ford scent.
Costume National 21 is a pretty well made scent. I like it a bit better that Scent Intense, but the florals make me feel it is hard to pull off. Or rather, I am just not warming up to this scent. You got it right when you said creamy, however. Overall, a good scent.
I give your blog entry a thumbs up . Thanks for sharing the details of your latest sampling journy CC.
This morning I could still get wafts of By Man! Pretty insane longevity!
Luckyscent has samples for $3. They're also a good resource with reviews.
Try ebay.com, ebay.fr, ebay.co.uk and you shall find what you are looking for; be patient and check daily but you shall find something of your liking...let me know how you get on...Francop
Well, if you've fallen into money, who cares about $13 for a Serge Lutens sample shipped to your door? You're rich now! Go for it!
Thanks Red
Great post! Hey, maybe it was the Bond, or maybe just sniffing Aventus on the card, but I imagine your knowledge impressed them either way! Sounds like you had a great time. NYC is just awesome, and I do hope to visit those specific places, too, someday.
Very cool - thanks for the fun report. I really enjoyed that!
I'm glad it clicked for me too haha I really wanted to like it. The drydown was great it was the blast of violet leaf that took me awhile to get used to. I'm so happy that I still have so much testing to do. I'm not even close! I may find some unbelievable fragrances around the corner and I have no idea. I guess that's part of the joy in sampling!
Thanks Red!
Yup, I think that's a great plan. I agree completely - those frags that demand a bunch of thinking - those are often the ones I end up falling the hardest for. I think you're gonna be happy with your choice.
Glad this one finally clicked for you Canwll. I've been lucky (or.. unlucky?) that a good number of the really divisive scents here (eg L'Anarchiste, NR) clicked for me right away. The only two which were massive 180s for me were Fleur du Male and M7.
I think it was Amit who sent me my NR sample. I believe it was him, anyhow. Whoever it was was actually offering a full bottle for free to any takers, but I felt that jumping on that offer would have been greedy given that I hadn't even tested the scent before. Anyhow, I still remember that first sampling. I was taken aback. I had much less experience then and so I couldn't really fit the scent into any context.. it was truly one of the 'horizon expanding perfumes' of my journey.
Thanks for the blog post. It jogged a lot of pleasant memories for me. I really do kind of miss those days - those days when I was less experienced and more naive and those 'oh-my-god-this-is-INCREDIBLE' moments were more frequent.
Also, you're welcome for the samples. I've had a lot of generous people help me out - it feels good to continue that BN tradition.

Choosing the ideal record player will really depend on a couple of personal preferences of yours. Perhaps you prefer a belt drive over a direct drive player or perhaps you like to have a phono preamp to boost the volume up. Some of these devices will not have these options at all because they might be built specifically for DJs whereas some are more geared towards vintage record lovers.
If all these terms mean nothing to you, don't worry, it'll all be explained right at the bottom of this comparison chart to help you choose the ideal unit for your needs. First off though, here's a chart that details the technical specifications and features of the top record players in the market along with the current prices that you can get them for.
$ = Less than $100 | $$ = $100-$300 | $$$ = $300-$500 | $$$$ = More than $500
How to choose the best record player
There are a few miscellaneous features in each player that will cause it to be substantially different from its counterparts. The first would be the type of drive that it uses in order to rotate the platter (the platform where the vinyl record will be placed on). There are 2 types of drives: the belt drive and the direct drive turntable.
In order to spin the platter, a motor has to be installed on the turntable. In most vintage players, the motor will exist right beside the platter and an elastic belt will connect the both of them together. This is called the belt drive.
In a more modern direct drive model, the motor will be mounted beneath the platter itself. This allows the platter to be rotated backwards by hand (for DJs mostly) to create additional sound effects.
As a general rule, a belt drive will produce audio that is much more isolated and stable in nature. This is because the belt provides a shock absorbent effect which helps reduce the vibration from the motor whereby in direct drive players, motor noise will be sent directly into the platter.
While this is theoretically the case, many of the higher-end direct drive devices have completely eliminated this interference from these vibrations so both options are totally fine.
With that said, DJs don't have much of a choice but to go for direct drive turntables because of their backward-spinning capabilities.
Manual players would require users to lift the tonearm manually and place it onto the record. There are also some of these "manual" record players that are semi-automated in the sense that the tonearm will be lowered slowly by a cueing mechanism. After it finishes playing, you'll have to turn it off yourself.
Automatic variants are much rarer in general. For an automatic unit, you merely have to place the vinyl record on the platter and push a button. The tonearm will be lifted, moved over to the record and lowered on it automatically. When it finishes playing, the tonearm will return to its resting position and the device will shut itself off.
Manual devices do offer a more vintage feeling but if you'd rather opt for convenience, automatic players are the way to go.
Deciding On Your Record Player
First of all, before you decide to purchase any of these devices, you should really set a budget because there's a huge selection of these around and the price range varies significantly (from as low as $80 to as high as $600). Naturally, the best record players will have a premier audio quality over the rest, but they are also a lot more expensive.
The top-end versions are generally referred to as "Super-OEM" and they belong to a whole new tier of quality. Today, there are only 3 of such units that share a similar "Super-OEM" quality and those would be the Audio-Technica AT-LP1240-USB, the Stanton ST-150 and the Numark TTXUSB.
The 3 Best Record Players In 2015
The 3 of these units offer the best performance by far, compared to some 20+ record players that we've tested thoroughly over the years. Out of these 3 however, the Stanton ST-150 (priced at $600) is approximately $200 more expensive compared to the other 2 despite having the same quality level. The reason for that? Stanton had decided to include a cartridge in the ST-150 and slapped a premium of $200 onto it, which is an arguably poor decision on their part since many of us vinyl enthusiasts would rather save up on that and choose our own cartridges to attach to the headshell.
The choice between the Audio-Technica AT-LP1240-USB and the Numark TTXUSB is much harder, but we did eventually select Audio-Technica as our top pick simply because we've personally used many other of its older (and cheaper) models, most of which have been extremely impressive in terms of their performance and reliability. Numark has a decent track record too, but prior to this recent "Super-OEM" product of theirs, the previous models were rather mediocre in comparison to Audio-Technica's.
The Audio-Technica AT-LP1240 remains our top choice thanks to its impressive performance and reliability. Its motor is very strong (great torque), the build is beautifully constructed (heavy-duty steel) and the additional features that it comes with will satisfy even the most nitpicky of DJs.
It shares a similar tone-arm to the Stanton ST-150, which is essentially the best in the market. If you wish to transfer some of your vinyl collection over to a computer, you can do it simply by attaching a USB cable (included in the set) to its port (the Stanton lacks this function).
The AT-LP1240 also comes with a dust cover (a nice touch since most modern players have omitted this for some odd reason), a slip mat for the turntable and a silver headshell. The only thing that's lacking in this entire set is a cartridge, so you'll have to install your own one.
For certain audiophiles like myself, it's actually a plus since we prefer to use our own cartridges (the Shure M44-7 or Shure M97xE cartridge works great here by the way). With a high-end cartridge like the Shure M97xE that we tested it with, the sound quality is simply amazing. Everything worked really well and has a solid feel to it. The buttons have a rubbery feel to them and they click audibly, unlike the cheap plastic ones that exist on many other inferior units.
Final Words
For any DJs or vinyl enthusiasts, the Audio-Technica AT-LP1240 is certainly the best record player that you can have as it has every fundamental feature that we could think of and the build quality is just amazing. You'll have to install your own cartridge here though since it's not included. If you're uncomfortable doing this, you should know that setting up your own cartridge can be time-consuming and require a ton of patience, plus you'll need a set of additional tools to do it (tweezers, stylus pressure gauge, alignment gauge etc.). In such an instance, you might want to stick to the Audio-Technica AT-LP120 (link below) since it comes with an attached cartridge.
There are plenty of similar models by Audio-Technica so make sure you get the right one here:

28 Aug 11 MORE Of The Best Free Travel Apps That Will Make Traveling A Breeze!
Since my previous article on 12 of the best free travel apps that will make traveling a breeze went viral, I discovered that there was a real interest in finding applications that would be useful to people who were travelers at heart. After doing a bit of research and checking the functionality, I can say that I have been fortunate enough to find 11 more apps that are equally delightful.
1) Apple's Find My iPhone app is probably the must have for iPhone users. If you can't find your phone how can you use these apps, silly? ;-D
2) Crackle – funny name, good stuff. I have a Roku and Crackle is one of my favorite channels. Imagine my giddiness when I found out they have an app for it too? This 'channel' offers some really good movies from back in the day. I am noticing a trend where they are offering more current movies these days. The good news is that the movies are pretty stellar, not just B movie only fare, but something that everyone in your family will enjoy. This is a must have for anyone who has the capability of downloading apps.
3) TravelZoo – This mammoth travel deal aggregator is a fantastic resource for those who are seeking great package, airfare or hotel deals. I have used them extensively to purchase activities like Vegas shows for a mere pittance. A new feature on the site is local deals which in a lot of ways is a Groupon competitor. You can secure great deals around your city like a $70.00 dinner jazz cruise in New Orleans for $29.00!
4) Imagine this. You're in a strange city, totally discombobulated and mother nature is not only calling, she's screeching like Mick Jagger! It's not clearly obvious where you can go to answer her call, so what do you do? You pull out your handy dandy Sit or Squat app and you'll suddenly realize that everything will soon be alright.
5) Back in the early 90s, there is an old phrase that used to describe that new fangled invention that would require my spending a couple hard earned thousand dollars for the pleasure of using it. The Information Super Highway….we never knew how right they were! Today we are inundated with DATA, it's almost impossible to keep up with everything that you need to keep up with. This is especially true when traveling. I was first introduced to TripIt! because it was an app in LinkedIn that I discovered and found to be user-friendly. It allowed me to create itineraries for each city I traveled to. I can add my entire flight itinerary, hotel and car rental info with confirmation numbers, dinner reservations and whatever activities I had scheduled can easily be added too. The best part is that any changes that are made to the itinerary are automagically changed by the TripIt software. It will automatically add a map of the city that you are visiting along with directions on how to get to your hotel from the airport.
6) Alrighty, this is an obvious rip off one of my favorite news outlets, but Taptu is another version of Pulse that allows you to follow curated streams from Tech, News, Entertainment and Lifestyle sites. But there is enough of a difference between the two to make things interesting. Now, I really can't swear who thought of this wonderful way of accessing current events on demand first, (I suspect, Pulse) but I love it. It allows you to subscribe to your favorite media which will guarantee your confirmed status of being the life of every party.
7) If you really want to get to the station on time, download the DB Navigator! It lists the timetables for over 200,000 trains throughout Europe. If you plan to take the train once or several times throughout your journey, this is a nice tool to have handy as you plan, monitor or modify your travel route.
8 ) The one thing that irks me when I am in a restaurant is to see a delicious looking dish on the menu and once it's served, it looks like last week's gruel. False Advertising! Foodspotting is a restaurant marketing department's worst nightmare because you get to see how the food really looks before you step inside their front door thanks to fellow foodies uploading the evidence. On the other hand, you can recommend restaurants who can deliver a well-executed spread for those who are looking for delectable treats. Bon Appetit!
9) Picture this….you are out with friends, they ditch you….you need a cab and fast! TaxiMagic will ask for your location and a list of taxis at the intersection closest to you will be displayed. Select the company that you want to pick you up by tapping on the "book" button. Immediately, the driver's name, taxi number & distance from you will appear on the screen. You will even be able to monitor the cab driver's location via a map! Once the driver arrives, s/he will confirm your identity and your destination. Once you arrive, you can either pay via the app using your pre-set up TaxiMagic account or via credit card or cash.
10) We've all been there, you're in the middle of a great article online and some annoyance (like actual work) gets in the way. ReadItLater is here to save the day. You can save any article to read later whether you are on or offline.
11) Hikers, Backpackers, Outdoor Enthusiasts Unite! AllTrails is a great app that uses GPS Technology to help you find the closest hiking/biking/running trail, campsite, fishing hole or Park using your present location.
New apps are created every day and surely there are other worthy applications that will help us as we travel to our destination. Feel free to add your favorites!

Caron Butler was making his way through the hallways at Verizon Center late Saturday when a Wizards front office official greeted him in front of the visiting locker room and gave him a hug. It was that kind of night for Butler, the former Wizards cornerstone player who was back in town as a member of the Los Angeles Clippers.
It was Butler's first game back in the District since being traded along with Brendan Haywood and DeShawn Stevenson to Dallas in 2009-10 when the Wizards began their rebuild. Butler was hurt last season during the Mavericks' run to the NBA title, but these days, he's a starter for the Clippers, who have designs on winning it all this season.
"I mean, it felt weird coming here and setting up in this locker room," Butler said of getting dressed in the visitors' quarters afer spending four and a half seasons with the Wizards. "But once you're on the court, basketball just takes care of itself."
Did it ever for the Clippers, who blitzed hapless Washington in the first quarter and never let up in a 107-81 victory in which Butler scored 14 points. He was one of five Los Angeles players to reach double figures, led by all-star forward Blake Griffin's 21 on 10-of-14 shooting.
Butler is part of an organization once like the Wizards; that is, struggling to win and in dire need of a reconstruction. Griffin was the first piece in the draft two years ago, and since then the Clippers have added, among others, all-star point guard Chris Paul and veteran guard and former NBA champion Chauncey Billups.
Paul scored a season-low two points on 1-for-9 shooting against the Wizards, but reserve guard Mo Williams had 17 points and a game-high eight assists. Billups finished with 12 points and made all four of his three-point attempts.
"Going into free agency this is all I was thinking about, being with a young nucleus and being with a quality team that needed my services," Butler said. "I wanted to come out and be featured in a way that I could show everybody I'm healthy; what better place than L.A. It's working out great."
Butler ruptured his right patellar tendon on Jan. 1 of last season and watched from the bench as the Mavericks captured the NBA championship over Miami. Since joining the Clippers, he's averaging nearly 15 points per game.
Butler did wax nostalgic a bit following the Clippers win, discussing what could have been had he, Gilbert Arenas and Antawn Jamison all been healthy at the same time in the playoffs. Those players were the Big Three around which the franchise pinned its championship aspirations that never materialized.
"It was frustrating because I felt like we had a lot of unfinished business," Butler said. "Losing Gilbert, myself breaking my hand, Antawn's shoulder, losing [former coach] Eddie Jordan, not being able just to all be whole at one time, it was really frustrating.
"I felt like we could have accomplished a lot more but it is what it is. You look at it in hindsight, and it worked out for me, Brendan Haywood and DeShawn pretty well."


text: Posted November 13, 2006 I have sat out the last two weekends of grouse hunting in my usual areas for safety and in respect for firearms deer hunters only getting a handful of days to hunt eache year. BUT...I've got all the fall chores done and my patience is waning! Wondering if walking around in the woods on the last weekend of firearms hunting in this area would be safe or should I drive the extra miles to the West to get into Zone 2? The drive isn't the inconvenience, I just won't know the area as well. Overall, safety for myself and my dog are my top priorities, so I am looking for honest opinions - will deer hunter density be high in State Forests in Zone 1 this weekend? Will grouse hunting be an annoyance or considered inconsiderate? I am a novice grouser and haven't tried to hunt grouse during firearms deer season before. Your suggestions/opinions will be appreciated! Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

London, Mar.8 (ANI): India's billionaire Ruia brothers are mulling a potential five billion pound UK listing of their oil and power businesses, which could spearhead a revival of Indian flotations in London.
The group is understood to have appointed J P Morgan Cazenove as its adviser and has contacted the London Stock Exchange authorities to smooth the way for it to become the first Indian - company to join London's main market since Vedanta Resources seven years ago.
It is also seeking to raise its profile through advertising.
Its ambitious international expansion plans included the recent 600-million-pound acquisition of America's Trinity Coal to service its steel plant and iron ore operations in North America.
It is eyeing more deals after taking its US investments to four billion dollars.
It also plans to triple the capacity of its Indian oil refinery over the next two years and is the sole remaining bidder for three of Royal Dutch Shell's European refineries.
Ravi and Shashi Ruia are ranked fifth among India's billionaires, according to Forbes magazine, with a 13.6 billion dollar fortune.(ANI)

Our Cruise
Sail Date: August 17, 2014
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Traveled As: Large Group
Room Type: Oceanview
We live in Philadelphia and sailed out of Maryland, I was surprised how easy and convenient the parking lot was. It's located tight off of 95 and the ship is right there. I thought the ship was really nice and the staff was exceptional. The ports were beautiful but I rather have skipped Port Canaveral and spent more time on the beach in Freeport. The food was ok but the upscale dining was so delicious that we ate there two times. I definitely would sail out of Maryland again, the convenience is great. I wish in the future Carnival offers more ports of call to visit. I would recommend this cruise. Thank you for a GREAT vacation!

At 33, Rafael Soriano is the second oldest player on the Nationals roster, but in terms of the playing experience, he has the most. He may not have the playoff experience of Jayson Werth, who played in 49 postseason games in six trips and played in two World Series, but Soriano has been to the playoffs four times and his career has spanned across five different teams over 12 seasons in two leagues.
He understands what forms winning teams and what dooms them. Right now, Soriano sees a young Nationals team one game under .500 again and weighed down by injuries and playing too tense.
"We're not consistent and playing like we should and taking advantage of men on base or making the pitches we need to make," Soriano said in Spanish over the weekend. "When a team is like this there's not a lot you can do. We just have to make adjustments and do what we can do, as much the batters and us pitchers. And just play the game and play the way we should. From all the projections that this team would be better this year but the injuries have messed us up this season. We haven't had our regular players because they've been injured and the team's morale drops. But we've tried to keep our heads up. We're good."
Throughout the first few months of his tenure in Washington, Soriano has often wondered and asked teammates if the clubhouse culture is different from before. He said teammates have told him that last year the atmosphere was different, more fun and more music was played in the clubhouse.
Soriano once even thought veterans should call a team meeting to talk, identify the differences about this season and perhaps address them — but he said he can't do that because he is one of the newest players on the team and wasn't with them during last season's joyous 98-win campaign. He said given tips and advice to a handful of players — Gio Gonzalez, Drew Storen, Ryan Zimmerman and previously Danny Espinosa — and found them to be receptive. But the pressure throughout the team, he said, is palpable.
"Like they're thinking too much when they bat or pitch," he said. "Let's play baseball, let's have fun and let's do this. Let's feel relaxed. There are some who have been here before, including last year. They're the same pitchers, batters. So what's the fear of doing the same thing again? Let's do the things we can. Let's just play baseball and not think about it too much."
Soriano knows about dealing with pressure, having pitched for the New York Yankees from 2011 to 2012, a place spoiled with a winning history and expectations of a World Series title each season. Soriano blocked all that out by focusing simply on his job. What has puzzled him about the Nationals is why they have struggled despite having a year of experience under their belt and with a team mostly intact from last season.
"It's early but anytime you have the chance to get on a streak, say of 20 games you win 15, it's a chance to get more comfortable," Soriano said. "But winning like this I don't think we have a chance."

It doesn't help when you have people selling "high res" files of medium res recordings.
I tried the Pono thing early last year, and the software sucked. The "high res" files I bought sounded no different than a CD rip. Pono sells FLAC files which have to be converted to work with my iPod/iPhone so I may as well rip CDs.
Been meaning to try out their new software, but just not high on the priority list lately.

After Flaherty and Kanawa, two of his teammates, were killed by scared survivors, Proznanski simply left on his own, never to be seen again, leaving behind his power armor.[1]

When the minimum wage law was going through the Legislative Council, there was confusion over its implications. Labour leaders of course lobbied for a high dollar figure, while employers of low-paid workers demanded much less. Some people expected a loss of low-paid jobs; if anything, the higher wage attracted some retired people back into the labour market.
Some industries and sectors probably paid relatively little interest to it. My own company, a modern, services-based business in which most employees are educated and skilled, did not expect to be affected by it. As it happened, we were wrong. The law's wording can in theory get any company into trouble if it does not take care about keeping records of staff working hours. So all prudently run firms had to take measures to comply with the law.
A competition bill is now being put through the legislative process, and the situation reminds me of this. People have long demanded such a law, and there is a lot of debate about it among lawyers and business lobbies.
There has been discussion about mergers, which do not happen often in modern Hong Kong. Potentially, if two big players in an industry united, we would be left with a dominant group coming close to being a monopoly. But big companies are often run by rival families who would never give up control to one another.
Perhaps the biggest fuss surrounding the proposed legislation concerns small and medium-sized enterprises. SMEs complained that the original draft of the law was too vague, and that they would incur heavy legal costs making sure they complied. There were also fears that bigger players would - in essence - get smaller ones into trouble on competition grounds as an aggressive business tactic.
I must confess that I have not followed this subject very closely. My company is focused on the general insurance industry; it is a services-based business with a large number of players of varying sizes and national backgrounds. It is so competitive that some companies lose money on underwriting in order to gain market share. I assumed a competition law would not really affect us.
But we have not heard much about what the new law says on the subject of cartels. We are often told that Hong Kong's domestic economy is heavily cartelised. Many people assume that this goes on because it is not illegal, and groups of companies able to form cartels would be crazy not to push their profits up by colluding in such anti-consumer activities. The usual suspects are the property development, supermarket and construction sectors.
The Competition Policy Advisory Group reported three complaints of this nature in retail last year. In two, retail chains allegedly pressured a supplier to ask a local retailer to raise prices of some soft drinks and electrical goods to the supplier's recommended price. In the third, a chain allegedly pressured a supplier not to sell a brand of noodles to a retailer who refused to raise prices.
If such activity is widespread, these chains - and probably other cartels in other industries - are hurting families and damaging Hong Kong's competitiveness as a business centre by raising costs. That means they are hurting the employees and the clients of companies like mine, which brings the problem even closer to home.
For an idea of what competition can do, remember what happened after telecommunications services were liberalised in the 1990s. The price of international phone calls came down a lot, and it proved a major boost in particular to some small businesses.
The competition bill does include provisions to outlaw price-fixing and similar anti-competitive actions by companies. But there seems to be little debate about it, and little discussion about whether consumers can expect more choice and lower prices when the law comes into effect. This leads me to wonder whether cartels really exist in Hong Kong at all.
Or is it that the new law will not in fact have any teeth?

text: WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sikorsky Aircraft, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX), has delivered to the Colombian Army two S-70i™ BLACK HAWK helicopters incorporating a Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning System (HTAWS) as standard equipment. Colombia is the first country to field S-70i helicopters equipped with HTAWS, which Sikorsky has customized for the unique requirements of the combat assault and utility missions. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131017/NE99814 ) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20060403/SIKORSKYLOGO ) "HTAWS will give military operators 360-degree situational awareness in low visibility, day or night, and at altitudes as low as 75 feet," said Jennifer Caruso, Sikorsky Vice President of Army and Air Force Programs. "As a new baseline capability for all S-70i BLACK HAWK aircraft, this high resolution system will enable aircrews to perform their demanding missions with greater safety and effectiveness." Sikorsky delivered the two HTAWS-equipped S-70i helicopters to Colombian Army officials August 13 during a ceremony at the company's Florida Assembly and Flight Operations facility in West Palm Beach. Colombian aircrew then flew the two aircraft to the Army Special Operation Aviation Military base in Tolemaida, a distance of almost 3,000 nautical miles. The aircraft arrived August 29 after approximately 30 hours of flight. Colombia is the first South American country to buy the S-70i BLACK HAWK helicopter variant, which Sikorsky first delivered to an international military customer in 2010. These two aircraft will join five other S-70i helicopters in Colombia acquired in January. Developed in collaboration with Sandel Avionics, the military HTAWS consists of a dedicated sunlight-readable display compatible with night vision goggles located in the center of the S-70i aircraft's instrument panel. Integrated with the aircraft's dual GPS/INS system and digital map, radar altimeter, heading system and air data computer, the system displays the GPS location, along with terrain, roads, obstacles and transmission lines. Audible warnings via the aircraft's internal communications system alert the pilots to obstacles. Pilots can adjust the system to one of four sensitivity modes — Normal, Low, Tactical, and Obstacles Only — designed to reduce false alerts when missions call for flight operations at increasingly closer proximity to the ground.

Every year at this time I get so tired of all of my clothing. If I even look at one more thing I have worn a million times this winter I swear I will scream! So I tend to get out my spring clothing way too early in the season. Even though I end up freezing, for me it is worth it to not be bored. One thing I have found to be essential when moving from winter to spring is the cardigan. I have a vast collection of cardis in various shades that match with almost any outfit I put together. I find these light sweaters to be the perfect item for making something that is supposed to be worn in warm weather into a garment that can stand a bit of cold. I thought I would gather the best of the classic cardigans I could find and bring them to you so you too can add this requisite item to your transitional wardrobe.
One of my favorites is this simple Charter School cardigan via ModCloth. It comes in a multitude of colors and you can't beat the price! (HERE)
Fly away in this blue bird sweater. (HERE)
I've always wanted one of these Wheel's & Doll Baby Dita cardigans. Maybe someday…..(HERE)
This is like wearing a Tiffany box! (HERE)
I like that this little puff ball sweater is on the heavier side. It help keep you warmer in the early spring. (HERE)
I am a sucker for an embroidered cardigan and this one is no exception. Plus it is on sale! (HERE)
Isn't this golden polka dotted sweater darling? (HERE)
I end with this patterned floral number because I love the colors. It just feels so fresh for spring! (HERE)

It's hard to believe that nearly half the year has already gone! That means it's time to give you Block 6 of the Free Block of the Month Wall Quilt
Hand-picked Wardrobe.
So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you. Put on kindness ....
Colossians 3:13
When you finish this block, the quilt will be half finished!
The block for this month includes a pinwheel:
The free pattern is in my Craftsy Store here.
I've been addicted to felt the last couple of weeks. I am teaching "Fun with Felt" at the Creative Craft Retreat later in the year, so have been having a wonderful time preparing samples.
In the bird sample, there are eleven fun stitches which give it so much texture and dimension: Blanket stitch around the edge, Fly stitch on the outside of the bird, satin stitch eye, cast-on stitch around the wing, then chain on the inner wing, Palestrina knot around the tail and coral stitch on the inner tail, back stitch leaves, stem stitch vine, straight stitch feet. Then there are the whipped woven circles on the ends.
It is so much fun watching the transformation of some lifeless felt into a 'work of art'. I like the folksy feel this sample has. It's a genre I've been exploring a bit more lately. Who knows where it might take me!
Happy stitching!

Hey All,
So there's been some discussion going around recently about mixing up the type of competitions available on the site and so I'd like to get some sort of direction going so we can actually proceed with it.
I think the first question is, really, what kind of art would people like to make? Would it be physical or digital? And which type would it be again after determining which of those two broad categories.
Prizes are another thing. Forum badges can probably be arranged but what kind of other things would people like; would people still be happy with random Steam keys?
And lastly, one thing that was, very astutely, mentioned was how many people would actually participate in an art competition? Its much more specific than a general game dev one and this site does better suit that kind of competition anyways. When answering this one please also state whether you would be interested in entering only specific art competitions or whether you would enter any and all.
Perhaps, I'll add a poll later when some of the details have been firmed up. For now if you could just answer the above and add any other questions or concerns you feel are pertinent then hopefully we can get one of these running again soon.

Ray Allen is going back to the Celtics, according to his agent Lon Babby
Allen and Celts have agreed on two-year deal worth $10 million annually that includes player option in Year 2. ESPN.com link coming
This is great and expected (in my mind) news for the Boston Celtics. If Doc Rivers had gone on a coaching hiatus, I truly believe that Ray Allen would have signed elsewhere (Miami). But with the best coach for this core of players, I think it was a no-brainer for Ray to return. He's always said this is where he wanted to be, but he had to do his due diligence to make sure he was ready for any situation in the upcoming season.
With our starting five now (un)officially re-signed, time to go about filling out that bench. Danny Ainge has been very busy thus far. I'm sure some key veterans will be willing to come play for a title knowing that the core is back in tact.

Lucknow, Jan 22 (UNI) Over 20 lakh devotees converged on Paush Poornima during the ongoing Magh Mela to seep in the highly spiritual ambience and enjoy the colour, beauty and often bizarre sights of the Mela, which has a special attraction of its own.
The Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswathi rivers meet at Allahabad, which is popularly identified as Prayag. It is this confluence of the holy rivers that has made Prayag one of the holiest spots in Hinduism.
The month long (Jan-Feb) Magh Mela is a great momentous event, where one can realize the essence of India's great religious traditions.
After Makar Sankranti, Paush Poornima is the second most important bathing ritual during the annual Magh fair.
Braving spine-chilling cold, people started congregating in the holy city from yesterday itself to have a dip in the icy water of Ganga.
However, some 'saints and mahatmas' boycotted royal bath, owing to its increasing pollution.
Posse of police, including ati-terrorist and bomb disposal squads, were deployed in the mela premises for security reasons.

U.S. Health Care vs. The World [Infographic]
With the start of a new year comes continued debate over the efficacy of our domestic health care systems and implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The conversation is far from over, and gauging the success of these initiatives is hardly an exact science — but learning more about how other nations are grappling with similar challenges and possible impediments to the health of their respective populations might be a good place to start. To help clarify the differences between world health care systems, the online Master of Public Health program (MPH@GW) created U.S. Health Care vs. The World, an infographic that shows how health care in the U.S. stacks up when compared to 16 other countries around the world. The data in the graphic is provided by the World Health Organization (WHO)'s World Health Statistics 2013 report — the annual compilation of world health data.

"We're more concerned about getting our offense and defense in right now," he said.
The team took precautions to avoid players going down from dehydration or heat exhaustion, including three water breaks.
"Sometimes they don't really know how their bodies are really feeling, so we're going to do that, but the heat isn't an issue at all."
Smith proved his point by wearing a long sleeve shirt to practice.
Tempers could rise tomorrow, as the pads come on for a noon practice under a blistering sun that is expected to bring temperatures back in the high nineties.
"We get a chance to at least hit tomorrow and it's time to do that," Smith said.
Rex in the city: Rex Grossman is excited to be healthy and excited to have a new offense in place.
"I feel I understand this offense a lot more than I did last year," said Grossman, who tore his ACL in the third game last season and missed 13 games. "A lot of times last year I didn't maybe agree with some reads, so it was like a learning process. This one, ever since I started to learn it, everything made sense so it was easier to pick up."
Grossman is only 3-3 as the team's starter and has yet to remain healthy. But Turner likes what he sees in his starting quarterback.
"He's hungry," Turner said of Grossman. "He's really hungry and he realizes what he lost last year and I think that's made him even more hungry.
"He's got a tremendous attitude and he wants to do well. He's doing everything he can right now."
Grossman and Muhsin Muhammad proved to be a tough match-up for the defense. The duo hooked up on several routes throughout practice.
"We need the rest of the practices (to see where they are) of course, but it's a good start today," Smith said. "I thought Rex threw the ball fairly well, Moose made some good plays, as did some of our other receivers."
Unfinished Business: While QB Kyle Orton was in camp on time, running back Cedric Benson, the No. 4 overall pick, is the team's last draft choice still unsigned.
"We can only coach the guys who are here, but hopefully he'll be here soon," said Turner, the head coach at Illinois last season. "He needs to be here. You probably start worrying (like) last week. He needs to be here and get going."
Dinner & A Show: As teammates and coaches had dinner, WR Mark Bradley supplied the entertainment for the evening. The rookie was made to stand on top of a chair and sing to the amusement of veterans.
During practice, Bradley supplied excitement for fans with a deep reception over CB Rashied Davis.

Joe Walsh Joins Chuck Berry Tribute at 2017 ACM Awards

Noting that he "influenced every form of music," country star Luke Bryan led off a tribute to Chuck Berry at the 2017 American Country Music Awards last night.
Joe Walsh thinks too much emphasis has been placed on presidential politics. In fact, he's far more focused on local races.
Led Zeppelin have emerged victorious from their lawsuit, and reactions from the rock world are already coming in.
The tour, which began May 12 in Dallas and continues through July 3 in Nashville, has been appropriately dubbed "One Hell of a Night."
Joe Walsh called out his brother-in-law to join him on the encore.
Joe Walsh will keep on touring after he finishes his co-headlining dates with Bad Company.
Bad Company and Joe Walsh kicked off their One Hell of a Night tour in Dallas last night with career-spanning set lists highlighting successes from their storied pasts.
Joe Walsh's solo career rebounded on April 23, 1991 with 'Ordinary Average Guy.'
Joe Walsh once ran a tongue-in-cheek campaign for the presidency, but that doesn't mean he wants to be associated with this year's race.
Confirming recent rumors, Bad Company and Joe Walsh have announced plans to embark on a 25-date co-headlinining tour this summer.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies are traditionally star-studded affairs, and this year's event will be no different.
Joe Walsh joined the Eagles in December 1975.

Story Behind this Recipe
I wanted to buy donuts, but it was raining cats and dogs. Since it was impossible to go out, I decided to make this for my children.
You only need 2 ingredients. Make this whenever you want! Even the ratio of the ingredients is easy to remember. (I coated the donuts with kinako (roasted soy flour) and cinnamon sugar in the photo). This is great for people with egg or dairy allergies since it contains neither.

China's Communist Party chief is expected to have his collected speeches and policies elevated to the formal status of 'Jiang Zemin Thought', putting his wisdom on a par with that of the late Mao Zedong. It would also leave Jiang's ideology one notch above the title of 'theory' accorded to the ideas of the late patriarch, Deng Xiaoping. The move indicates an attempt by Jiang and his supporters to entrench their people in key posts at the party's 16th congress in 2002.

I have had a very bad experience with this builder. His attitude is very \"hitler style\". He forces things on owners and asks for insane demands. Asks for payment demand even before the construction for that stage is ready .Charges interest on delay of payments(due dates for payments is very short and strict). Will not inform you of interest earlier and will ask for a huge amount in the end.Charges interest on interest. Very rude attitude in dealing with owners. never available for talks, Poor quality of tiles/patterns/doors fixed, Agreement is all made in his favor, for any illogical payments he quotes agreement which was very cleverly made in his favour at the start Didn't deliver the quality what it promised.
