The shift to the DPP metagame was rather unkind to Solrock. While Solrock had some uses in OU during the glory days of RSE, it's lucky to find any use in NU today. It has a unique typing and a great ability, but its plethora of weaknesses to the most commonly used attacking types and below average defenses mean that it'll usually be KOed before accomplishing much on the battlefield. That may seem like a lot of bad news, but this shouldn't deter anyone from choosing Solrock, as it has access to a myriad of supporting and attacking moves, as well as a unique typing and ability that can offer useful resistances to fill specific niches in your team.
As an offensive Rock Polisher, Solrock is generally outclassed by the likes of Torterra and Aggron, so to differentiate itself, it can Baton Pass the boost to one of its teammates. This set is designed to actually take advantage of Solrock's many weaknesses; Solrock can lure out specific counters, use Rock Polish on the switch, and then proceed to Baton Pass to the appropriate teammate. The last two attacks allow Solrock to deal some damage off its decent base 95 Attack stat. Stone Edge is a stronger STAB attack, but Rock Slide can be used for its higher accuracy and chance to flinch after Solrock has used Rock Polish. Explosion is the primary option for the last slot to remove any problematic Pokemon you may encounter. Earthquake can be used in place of Explosion, which gives Solrock the great attacking combination of Rock and Ground, but with no Attack investment it'll be doing pitiful damage if it doesn't hit for super effective damage.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
As a Trick Room user, Solrock offers a unique array of qualities that separate it from its fellow Trick Room-using brethren. Solrock's biggest advantage is its access to Explosion and Stealth Rock. With Explosion, Solrock is able to set up Trick Room, explode on whatever unfortunate Pokemon happens to be on the field, and allow a teammate to come in unscathed with three turns of Trick Room remaining. Stealth Rock is always useful to chip health off of the opposing team and make it easier for Solrock's teammates to garner KOs. The last slot is mostly filler. Stone Edge and Zen Headbutt are Solrock's strongest physical STAB attacks and the choice between them depends on your preference. Stone Edge has a higher Base Power, but it has lower accuracy and causes Solrock to be completely walled by Ground- and Steel-type Pokemon. Zen Headbutt grants Solrock more coverage but leaves him completely exposed to Steel-types and Spiritomb.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Solrock has a plethora of other support options, including Will-O-Wisp, Reflect, Light Screen, and Gravity, but is generally too frail to use any of them. Solrock can also pass Calm Mind and Cosmic Power boosts, but has a hard time doing so due to its many weaknesses and lack of Speed. A Choice Band set is possible, but Solrock has a limited movepool to work with and is outclassed by Rhyperior and Aggron thanks to their much higher bulk and Attack. Solrock also has Pain Split, but again, Solrock is neither bulky nor fast enough to make use of it. If using Solrock in the lead slot, Hidden Power Grass can be used in place of Stealth Rock to 2HKO Rhyperior, Omastar, and Kabutops, but has little use otherwise.
Checks and Counters
Solrock has six weaknesses to exploit, so bringing down the floating sun isn't a difficult task to accomplish. Bulky Water-types such as Milotic and Slowbro take pitiful damage from anything Solrock can dish out, bar Explosion, and easily KO Solrock with Surf. Registeel, Regirock, and Rhyperior take little damage from anything Solrock may use and enjoy Trick Room thanks to their low Speed. Spiritomb puts a good stop to either Solrock set; it is immune to Explosion and Zen Headbutt, benefits from Trick Room, and KOes Solrock with any of its moves. Spiritomb can even pick off Solrock with Shadow Sneak before it can Baton Pass out to its teammate. Venusaur can easily come in on either set and threaten Solrock with Leaf Storm or Energy Ball. Venusaur can even threaten Solrock's teammates with Sleep Powder on the Baton Pass if Solrock isn't protected by a Substitute.

i'll definitely be there whichever day the tallest man is playing. hopefully it's the same day as the national so i wont have to see them in seattle and can make it for them also.
Jun 9, 2010 11:36:50 GMT -5
Keep in mind that your standard wristband gets you entry to only ONE of the headliners: Decemberists or The National (like that's even a choice to be made).
Keep in mind also that MFNW is run by fucking idiots who oversell every single venue. Buying a wristband OR an individual ticket does not guarantee entry into ANY performance at any time during the festival.
Even so, I'm definitely going to catch the National in Pioneer Square, and no way I'm missing Man Man again, even if they play the fucking Hawthorne.
Jun 9, 2010 18:25:43 GMT -5
Typically, MusicfestNW is Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, with one show preceding the festival, and one show after.
This year, Panda Bear is playing the Wednesday slot, and the National are playing the Sunday slot. It would be safe to assume Tallest Man on Earth (or any other band for that matter) won't play Wednesday or Sunday.
I'm really curious to see how they can house the National at Pioneer Square Sunday afternoon, and charge people to attend. They can't block off the surrounding streets to accomplish this? Just a guess here, but you'll be "able" to hear the music for free, but if you want to get up close, you'll have to pay the $32 entry charge.

Buying a ticket does guarantee you entrance to the show. I've done this the last three years, and walked past lines over 100 long of wristband folk waiting to enter. You must have had a terrible experience of being drunk and cut off, or knowing someone getting drunk and cut off. They can't tell you no if you own a ticket.
Agreed, the Hawthorne Theater is crap. I swore I would never return after the Miike Snow show, then attended Caribou against my will. Never again!
Jun 9, 2010 19:21:34 GMT -5
Dude, do I know you? I'd probably at least recognize you, apparently we are within 100 yards of each other pretty frequently.
Also my body is not capable of becoming drunk enough to be cut off or denied entrance to most places that aren't Mormon churches. Once I reach a certain point I just fall asleep.
Anyway, that was the experience we had trying to see Mudhoney last year at Dante's during MFNW. We didn't care about the openers so we hung out at Union Jacks for a couple hours, and then they wouldn't let us in because the place had reached capacity. Clever Us got in anyway, but we could have done that WITHOUT the tickets.
Jun 11, 2010 22:18:47 GMT -5
I don't think I know you, but I am easy to spot at most shows. I'm the guy who pretends to be waiting in line for alcohol the entire show, just to meet women. That's my bag yo.
Sometimes I'll stand just outside of the beer line, far enough for the men to jump in front of me with no regards, but for the occasional female to engage me with a, "hey asshole, are you in line?" That's when it's on, and I pull out my list of prepared responses, which sometimes includes, "I am, but you are more than welcome to cut in front of me." They don't call me an asshole anymore.
Sometimes I meet a really drunk lady who again asks, "Are you in line?" My reply of, "only for your heart babe," works 3.4% of the time.
And I always know when last call is, so I warn the ladies in the area, and 1.3% of them are very thankful.
I don't actually go to shows to see music, because I'm not much of a music fan.
You wouldn't happen to have a sister?

Man, with this and the whole Sasquatch camping thing, we've probably run into each other unconsciously many times. Yeah, I went to said Caribou show (Toro Y Moi are friends of mine from SC and got me on the guest list so I figured why not).
Poor kids (Toro Y Moi at least) were really bummed because the sound there was awful. It got better because Caribou uses their own sound-man (Toro does not), but even with that, the acoustics in that place are pretty shitty. Especially crazy when I saw them the next night in Seattle at Neumo's where the sound was great. Both bands sounded infinitely better at Neumo's.

Major Lazer was amazing. Baroness killed it as well. What a strange back to back.
Sept 16, 2010 22:06:41 GMT -5
If you hate your job, and love killing time on the internets while pretending to work, here is a bunch of words about MusicfestNW, and one mildly entertaining joke. It should kill at least ten minutes of your day.
The highlight of the weekend was probably the fucktards at the Wonder Ballroom turning away the early arriving wristband holders because the staff were too stupid to read their job descriptions. They told the people waiting in line who purchased wristbands to leave, only allowing entry to those who picked up a free ticket at Jackpot records. Here's me waiving my middle finger your direction, Wonder Ballroom.

Looks like Explosions in the Sky will probably be at MusicfestNW this year. Full lineup will be announced the day after sasquatch.

Woman jailed on drug chargeFebruary 18,2013Police said a Rutland woman wanted for failing to appear at her arraignment for crack cocaine possession was in possession of crack cocaine during a traffic stop Friday night.
Shortly before midnight, police stopped Chantelle M. Dewey, 33, on Curtis Avenue after recognizing her and knowing she had an active arrest warrant for not showing up Feb. 11 in Rutland criminal court to answer charges of possessing crack cocaine, narcotics and marijuana, stemming from an incident Dec. 13.
After executing a search warrant on Deweys vehicle Saturday, police allegedly found 5 grams of crack cocaine. Sunday, police located Dewey on State Street and charged her with felony possession of crack cocaine. Police also charged Dewey with violating the conditions of her release on prior charges of unlawful mischief and disorderly conduct.
Dewey was held in Rutland jail on $25,000 bail and is scheduled for arraignment Tuesday in Rutland criminal court.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryStaff Report Full StoryThe Associated Press Full Story

I just hung up the phone with one of Governor Snyder's aides. My heart is pounding. No matter how many times I have called my representatives-my hands shake.
It isn't easy to be one of the thousands of constituents our Republican driven legislature in Lansing fail to represent. It is a scary ride.
The phone was ringing.
In the moment before I heard the aide's voice pause, clear their throat, and cheerily say, "Governor Snyder's office," I could hear happy chatter in the background.
It was December 20th at 4:45 pm. People were laughing nonchalantly, I imagined starchy suits—exchanging gifts, perhaps they got a little a wild with an outrageous holiday neck tie. I could almost smell the generic store bought Christmas cookies.
I introduced myself, and the aide was quite nice. They asked my name, how to spell it, and where I live. I asked if Governor Snyder had made his decision yet on HB 5711. They confirmed that he had not yet decided whether or not to veto this bill, was there a message I would like to leave?
Yes, there was.
My hands were shaking, my eyes were watering, and my throat felt tight. I was about to leave a message for the Governor. This is the man who is about to make a very big decision for Michigan, a decision that will effect the rights of every woman in this state to have access to safe reproductive health care.
I took a deep breath and quietly told a complete stranger that my great grandmother died of an illegal abortion. My voice cracked.
The aide was quiet.
What I could never explain to that person, or Governor Snyder, or every other Republican out there, was that raw wounds still exist in my grandmother, from losing her mother, death by illegal abortion. 80 some years of missing her mother.
When my grandfather died, my grandmother looked at me and said, "I know how to be strong, I know this pain well." How could I ever explain the feeling that I had in that moment with her?
I told the aide, this a broken piece of my grandmothers heart—this truth has affected every generation since her mothers death, including mine. Because my great grandmother didn't have legal access to an abortion she died. It wasn't so long ago.
I explained that it is for her that I am asking Governor Snyder to veto House Bill 5711, because I will remember.
The aide thanked me, told me they were sorry that happened, and wished me a happy holiday.
I have no way of knowing if my message will ever get through to the Governor.
Still…I try, and I hope.
Later, Thursday Evening
What I overheard and mistakenly thought was a Christmas party was actually much more likely the Republican's celebration dotting their i's and crossing their t's after their assaultive lame duck session- our Governor was not sitting at his desk quietly contemplating the ethics behind the HB 5711 mega bill, he was instead joyfully signing House Bills 6060 and 6063.
Tonight the Governor signed two bills that make it nearly impossible for us to recall a state senator or representative.
Tonight, Michigan mourns. We have been robbed.

Faculty and Staff
Lilly Teaching Fellows
One faculty member in each of the five Faculties of the College received one course release to reflect upon and prepare teaching and other materials relating to the concept of vocational discernment under the original Lilly grant program. In each of the three years of the Lilly Sustainability Grant, these fellows are invited to participate in ongoing conversations through the Sustaining Fellows program.
2007-2008 Lilly Teaching Fellows
Diane Leblanc (English and Interdisciplinary Studies) redirected her GE 111 course (newly entitled Family, Vocation and Work) to incorporate the topic of vocational discernment into the discussions of work and family.
Mark Pernecky (Economics) incorporated topics related to vocation into his labor economics course, considering how creativity, control, compensation and conscience enter into labor market decisions. Click here for a course syllabus.
Thomas Williamson (Sociology/Anthropology) extended his "vocational discernment presentation," currently incorporated into all his courses, to wider audiences; he also more comprehensively integrated vocational conversations into his anthropological theory course.
2006-2007 Lilly Teaching Fellows
Doug Casson, (Political Science) developed a course on the vocation of civic leadership that explores the possibilities and limitations of leadership and helps students achieve self-understanding without discouraging ambition. Click here for a course syllabus.
Eric Fure-Slocum, (History) developed the course "Work in America: Dignity at Work," which asks students to broaden their perspective as they consider both their vocation and the place of work in our society. Click here for a course syllabus.
Rebecca Judge, (Economics/Environmental Studies) inquired into the connection between vocation and property, by exploring the question of the property right itself within the context of vocational discernment. Click here for a draft of the course syllabus.
Dolores Peters, (History) developed a new course, "First Do No Harm: Medical Vocation in Historical Perspective," anchored in the history of the modern medical profession in the U.S. and Europe. It approaches vocation as a lived experience shaped by the values and expectations of practitioner, profession, and society.
Mary Trull, (English) worked to develop a course entitled "Against Alienation: Vocation in Twentieth-Century Literature," that uses literature and guest speakers to help students explore ethical issues and vocational discernment within their own lives.
2005-06 Lilly Teaching Fellows
Rich DuRocher (English) developed the course "Living by Words: Exploring the Vocations of Writing." This course explores the idea that writing, more than a source of income, may be a calling or vocation in which one uses his or her literary talent to serve higher goals. In this course, students meet and interview writers from a variety of professions -- ministers, lawyers, journalists, creative writers, therapists, and others -- who see their work with words in that spiritual way. Students begin by reading some classics from Christian literature (such as Martin Luther's formative discussion of vocation and John Milton's sonnets on the talents), then turn to recent nonfiction essays (by writers such as Studs Terkel, Martin Luther King, Jr., Kathleen Norris, and Heidi Neumark) that show a range of ways in which writing can involve a calling. Click here for course outline.
Dan Hofrenning (Political Science) reorganized the introductory course "American Politics" (Political Science 111) to include a "politics as a vocation" theme. Students reflect upon their personal political vocation in addition to exploring the components that comprise American government.
Donna McMillan (Psychology) adapted the course "Psychology of Personality" (Psychology 271). Students study personality theories, research, consider questions of self and identity, and create a personality portfolio for vocational reflection. Click here for a course outline.
Barbara Reed (Religion and Asian Studies) added a vocational component to her existing EIN course "Buddhism, Peace and Justice" (Religion 289) with a new unit called "Buddhism, Christianity and Vocation." She compares Buddhist and Christian writings on the meaning of vocation and right livelihood.
Matt Rohn (Art & Art History) added a vocational perspective to his EIN course "Issues in Art Criticism" (Art 270) where students examined major issues in the contemporary art world and contemporary artists who have demonstrated vocational issues through their work.
In Fall '05, Rohn created a segment on vocation for Environmental Studies 101, The Culture of Nature. The main stress was on students thinking about everyone in daily life pursuing environmental stewardship as a life's vocation. Click here for the course outline.
Bill Sonnega (Media Studies/Theatre)
developed an introductory-level course, part of a two-course sequence, that encourages students to critically assess and shape their personal relationship to mass media. Its premise is that we are all, to some extent, uninformed and uncritical consumers of mass media products, services and effects rather than conscientious and socially minded users of them. In this spirit, the course provides a comprehensive historical overview of the various print and electronic media that have shaped, and continue to shape, our lives. By examining the issues that have influenced the development of the mass media, the course considers ideological, cultural, aesthetic and ethical perspectives. Click here for course outline.
2004-05 Lilly Teaching Fellows
Kathy Shea (Biology) added a section on vocation to the Conservation Biology course and used some of the same materials in other biology courses.
Click here for a course syllabus.
Carol Holly (English) This course is entitled "Callings: Stories of Identity and Vocation." Focusing on a selection of memoirs by contemporary American women, addresses the issues of identity formation, vocational discernment, and spiritual calling (broadly defined) that emerge in women's life stories. Supplementing the reading of women's memoirs will be conversations about vocational issues with women from the St. Olaf community and selected essays on such topics as the value of work, the role of motherhood, and the meaning of vocation. Students are also be required not only to interview and write a biographical sketch of an older woman--someone from home or the St. Olaf community--but also to write an autobiographical essay reflecting on their lives, their educations, their aspirations. Click here for a course outline.
Mary Carlsen (Social Work) developed discrete modules on vocation and service for two social work courses; one the introductory course open to any major (SW 221), and one the senior seminar (SW381). Click here for a course outline.
2003-04 Lilly Teaching Fellows
Karen Cherewatuk (English) developed a new theme for a portion of her First Year Writing course which she titled "Work, Profession and Vocation."
John Barbour (Religion) adapted a new course, "God and Faith in Autobiography," to incorporate questions of vocation.
Click here for a course outline.
Elizabeth Hutchins (Library) prepared a detailed bibliography on the topic of vocational discernment. For the complete bibliography, click here.
Vocational Readings
Elizabeth Hutchins, former Teaching Fellow, prepared a detailed bibliography on the topic of vocational discernment. For the complete bibliography, click here.

This is a beautiful lantern, better than I dreamed it would be! We are pleased with it over kitchen island, looks great with stainless.
Compared to some very expensive alternatives out there, this light fixture measured up well. A good compromise piece for projects where something noticably above building grade is needed. Handsome shape and finish.
I bought this light for an entry foyer...its perfect. I would recommend and would buy again.
A stunning piece to the kitchen. Perfect size over my double sink...Lovely light and appreciate the dimmer quality for a nice night light. Very pretty and I've received a lot of compliments on this fixture. Good value, nice light
very sturdy. added sleek modern look to our entryway. loving it!
This chandelier is perfect in my guest bath. It gives the sophisticated, yet spa like feel I was looking for! The price was perfect, too.
This light is gorgeous! I purchased this light for my laundry room. Its amazing what a transfomation a light can make to a room. The reflection from the light on the ceiling and the walls is pretty. I highly reccommend this light!
The chandelier is clean and classic. Perfect for our new home for the foyer.
Love it! Beautiful and elegant in my new kithen. Great customer service again by overstock as well.
This product looks ok apart from some inaccuracies in the construction which makes it look slightly out of prpportion. I also encountered some problems when I tried to buy light bulbs as the bulbs required are not standard in Sweden, which is where I live. Since it is possible to order the product from overseas, I think this should be part of the product informatiion, and it should be possible to order the light bulbs together with the lamp.

It was so Microsoft. Only Microsoft could spend $200 million dollars on a product launch and make it appear, well, almost understated, even while the Windows XP logo flashed across every billboard in Times Square. Only billionaire Bill Gates could slouch across the stage in his signature just-folks attire — blue button-down shirt and baggy gray slacks — and spend minutes talking up Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani without even mentioning the product he was there to introduce. Only Gates, in a staged skit, could stroll through Times Square and spend as much time talking to an unidentified, tattooed biker as to superstar Dick Clark. (Hired for the occasion, Clark joked that Gates put the "square" back in Times Square).
The event was Microsoft's much-ballyhooed Windows XP kickoff in October 2001 at the Marriott Marquis in New York City. That is, in New York City post 9/11. It was a different world, Gates acknowledged up on that stage, but — and he finally said it — it was still a Microsoft world.
Meticulous Planning
The XP event was positioned to be the kickoff to end all kickoffs, one that would outdo even the company's most legendary — the 1995 introduction of Windows 95. That launch, at Microsoft's Redmond, Wash., headquarters, was a carnival-style affair, complete with big-top, amusement park games — even a Ferris wheel. CEO Steve Ballmer went so far as to refer to it in following years as a moment in Microsoft's history when "the stars were aligned."
For about nine months before October 25, the man behind the Times Square event was John Frederiksen, Windows marketing manager, who was in charge of a stable of 55 product managers — including one group responsible for generating product buzz. At the same time, Mich Mathews, Microsoft's marketing head, and her group had been beating the drums about the new operating system. ("XP" is short for "experience.")
They had convinced some of the company's major corporate customers to sign up for XP before the launch: 150,000 desktops had been deployed, another million-plus had commitments from enterprise customers, and hundreds of companies were evaluating the system. The reviews had been stellar: Commentators generally praised XP's markedly improved stability and upgraded features.
The marketing staff also worked with the McCann-Erickson ad agency on a campaign featuring punchy ads with the tagline, "Prepare to fly," backed by Madonna's song "Ray of Light."
The cost for all the hype: an estimated $500 million for the worldwide marketing and launch, including $300 million kicked in by Intel and other major partners.
In-house, Microsoft was busy pumping up its employees. A countdown clock was installed in Redmond, and sales contests were initiated among regional reps to see who could create the best product demo. Excitement about the product was high, and the competition among districts became intense.
Early in August, Microsoft contacted key officials in Manhattan for logistical support and security coordination. At the Marriott Marquis, the marketing, sales, and public relations departments worked with the company to organize the launch. Christine Nicholas, president of NYC & Co., the city's official tourism marketing organization, and her staff helped to secure locations — special licensing of facilities was required — and established contact with the mayor's office and the chief of police, Alan Hoehl. Special permits were needed for everything, right down to those allowing Microsoft representatives to demonstrate XP's music and video capabilities to passers-by.
Then came September 11.
What Next?
In the weeks after the World Trade Center tragedy, the company faced dilemmas. With Manhattan reeling from the shock, Microsoft wondered if the city could handle the barrage of events it had planned, which included its traditional free concert. Did New York officials really want hordes of attendees (more than 1,500 invitees, including industry experts, media, techies, and customers) buzzing around Broadway? What level of security would be needed? Could the company pull it off without appearing insensitive to the trauma around it?
"At one point, we were concerned if it was even appropriate to launch a product," Mathews told one reporter. Gates wasn't sure either. He called Mayor Rudy Giuliani several weeks after the disaster to discuss whether the company should still come. The answer was clear: NYC needed Microsoft as much as Microsoft needed the city.
So the planners decided to move ahead, adding an appearance by Gov. George Pataki. To lighten up the product demonstration that followed, Regis Philbin sat Gates down for a quick round of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" with XP-related questions.
That was followed by a blue-chip panel of top industry leaders — including Michael Dell, head of Dell Computer; Intel CEO Craig Barrett; Gateway CEO Ted Waitt; and leaders of Staples, Sony, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, and Toshiba — who spent an hour discussing the state of the PC industry. Next, for spiritual lift, the company brought in a Harlem gospel choir, which sang "America the Beautiful."
Then came the Rudy-and-Bill act, with Giuliani quick to express gratitude to Gates for sticking to his commitment to roll out XP in New York City. "I thank you and all of the other business leaders that are here for this launch of this new product, which really couldn't come at a better time for the city of New York," he said, as he addressed the crowd in the packed theater.
After what amounted to information overload, Sting's hourlong concert came as a real relief. Although there was no charge for the event, security demanded that, this time, it not be an open-door free-for-all. The producers handed out tickets, and attendees — some 5,000 — were required to show them to enter Bryant Park, three blocks from the Marriott Marquis. Huge video screens allowed spectators and strollers outside to have access to the show, which was simultaneously webcast on www.msnbc.com.
Sting's appearance was actually a result of the September 11 events, according to Jeff Salmon, president of dick clark communications in Burbank, Calif., which produced the concert. "A concert that Sting was to do in Italy was postponed due to the September 11 incident, and Sting felt a need to do something. He was looking for an opportunity, and so was Microsoft. So they got together."
Discussions had begun weeks prior to September 11, but things fell together very quickly. "Coordinating that effort was just unbelievable, because everybody got involved in this event at a very high level to make sure it was done to perfection. We made sure every single person in the city who needed to know what we were doing knew — and approved it."
After the concert, several smaller-scale gatherings were organized by Eventage Event Production, New York, including a reception for 250 of the business elite at the Supper Club, where decision-makers from large corporations could rub shoulders with Gates while being treated to a more intimate presentation of XP's offerings.
Eight Years in the Making
For Microsoft, a company that is not exactly known for soft-pedaling its merchandise, XP was billed from the start as much more than just another product. To Gates and the associates who labored on the new system — including Jim Allchin, head of the Windows group, who spent more than eight years developing the software — it was seen as no less than the key to lifting the nation out of recession.
"Although our economy is going through tough times, the technology industry will keep making the investments and innovations that will re-energize our economy," Gates had predicted, much to the chagrin of industry experts.
In the end, it may not have been the right moment to make such sweeping statements.
Sales of the operating system plunged in its second and third weeks on the market, in part because of the economic slowdown and in part because of the company's decision to allow sales of PCs preloaded with XP a month before individual copies of the software were available in stores. While it is common for sales to drop after an introduction, XP's fall was far steeper than usual, according to Steve Koenig, who is senior analyst at NPD Intellect.
PC industry leaders have remained guarded. "We're not counting on a whole bunch of people saying, 'Oh, XP's here. I'm going to run out and buy a PC,'" Gateway CEO Ted Waitt told Fortune magazine. As costly and time-consuming as its development was and despite this perfectly planned kickoff, the latest Microsoft product is unlikely to lift the PC market out of the doldrums anytime soon.

You will have to do it by hand but why would you? Why do all that work when you do not even know whether it works or not.
I think a multivariate GF can be found for A(n,k) from the recurrence.
It is not going to be easy to solve that recurrence.
I hope it doesn't. I don't have much time. We have some tests next week.
Casework is never simple and you must always be thinking of the form of your solution. Most math types are notorioulsy bad problem solvers. Just take a look at all those equations that they think are beautiful and are not worth a dime computationally.
I found it using some simple casework.
Hmmmm, the recurrence of course.
Where does what come from?
Well, when I ask this question the kaboobly doo will hit the fan. Where does it come from?
That is what I mean. In Maxima?
I am just running the recurrence.
I do not know what you are doing, so how can I say.
Do you think there is a way to speed it up?
That is like music to my ears!

Formal protest issued against Turkish Chess Federation (UPDATE)
Six federations have issued a formal protest against the Turkish Chess Federation, which has denied its arbiters to the Istanbul Olympiad. According to the federations from England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Ukraine and USA the measure by the TCF is in breach with both the FIDE Statutes and the FIDE Code of Ethics. The Georgian Chess Federation supports the federations.
Last Thursday we reported that arbiters from England, France, Georgia, Germany, Switzerland, Ukraine and USA are not welcome at this year's Chess Olympiad, which takes place from August 27th tlll September 10th in Istanbul, Turkey. Two days earlier the organizers, the Turkish Chess Federation, had announced that they will not accept arbiters from federations that "launched or supported court cases against FIDE and thus created financial problems for FIDE and a loss of distributable income for worldwide chess development."
(Read our blogger GM David Smerdon's reaction here.)
This measure was likely to meet criticism, and it didn't take long. On Friday Andrew Farthing, Chief Executive of the English Chess Federation, sent a protest letter to FIDE (PDF here). It was co-signed by the federations from France, Germany, Switzerland, Ukraine and USA, and later the Georgian Chess Federation also announced its support.
VIA E-MAIL 8 June 2012
FIDE Secretariat 9
Attention: Presidential Board, Chairman of FIDE Ethics Commission
Dear Sirs,
We are writing to register a formal protest at the actions of the Turkish Chess Federation (TCF) in its selection of the arbiters to officiate at the 40th Chess Olympiad, as set out in the open letter from the TCF President, Mr Ali Nihat Yazici, published on the FIDE website.
In this letter, Mr Yazici states:
The letter goes on to refer to seven (unnamed) federations, which from the context must mean the five federations which took legal action against FIDE in 2010 (France, Germany, Switzerland, Ukraine and the USA) plus the two federations who have an ongoing action against FIDE in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Georgia and England).
It should be noted that Mr Yazici is himself one of the Vice Presidents of FIDE whose appointment is under challenge in the ongoing legal action.
In admitting to the exclusion of individuals from the role of arbiter on this basis, the TCF President is in breach of FIDE Statute 1.2, which states:
It is also in violation of the FIDE Code of Ethics, article 2.2.3, which refers to:
The open letter from Mr Yazici acknowledges that nominated individuals from seven federations were excluded because of legal action taken by those federations against FIDE. This is irrelevant to the selection of the Olympiad arbiters and cannot be considered anything other than a discriminatory political act.
As the Olympiad is an official FIDE event, the organisers have a clear duty to adhere to the FIDE Statutes and FIDE Code of Ethics. We are formally requesting that the Presidential Board and Ethics Commission consider this matter urgently and demand that the Turkish Chess Federation reconsider its appointments, this time in an impartial and non- discriminatory fashion.
Please confirm receipt of this message.
Yours faithfully,
English Chess Federation
This letter is supported by the following FIDE members, listed in alphabetical order:
French Chess Federation
Note that the federations address the letter not only to the FIDE Presidential Board, but also to its Ethical Commission, which is now more or less obliged to take action. Whatever the outcome will be, the reaction by the Ethics Commission will also be interesting from a political point of view, since Mr Yazici is a Vice President himself.
Update June 12th, 2012
The Association of Chess Professionals has now also reacted negatively to the arbiters ban:
The ACP Board has received an official letter from the number of world's leading chess federations, with the request to react on the public statement of the President of the Turkish Chess Federation, Mr. Ali Nihat Yazici: http://www.fide.com/images/stories/NEWS_2012/Olympiad_2012/statement_of_...
We know Mr.Yazici as a proactive chess organizer, who managed to organize a significant number of a high-level events in Turkey. Thanks to his efforts, the Olympiad 2012 was granted to Istanbul.
However, the ACP Board sees his decision not to invite any principal or arbiter from England, France, Georgia, Germany, Switzerland, Ukraine and USA as a very dangerous precedent, which contradicts the very spirit of the "Gens Una Sumus" motto and violates the FIDE statutes.
We would like to remind Mr. Yazici and the whole chess community, that Olympiads were always seen as a major event which unites people, and in good old days, all the wars were terminated, when the Olympiad was about to start.
We firmly believe, that the World Chess Olympiad should not become a battlefield, and it is unacceptable to ban any federation on political or other grounds.
We have been informed, that if the situation doesn't change, some of the affected federations would consider to boycott the Olympiad altogether and not to send their players to Istanbul.
The ACP Board calls on FIDE to urgently discuss the situation and to resolve it fairly by respecting the rights and duties of all the parties involved.
The ACP Board also appeals personally to the President of the Turkish Chess Federation Mr. Ali Nihat Yazici, asking him to take one step back and to reinforce the Olympic spirit of peace, friendship and unity, even at the cost of sacrificing the very views of the National Federation he represents.
ACP Board
Typical of FIDE's bully-boy tactics, I'm afraid. The Turkish Chess Federation should be hanging its head in shame. It just reinforces all the stereotypical view of semi-totalitarian states, something which actions like this are guaranteed to perpetuate. Such a shame, too, considering all the great efforts Turkey has made in recent years to develop chess in the country, particularly through schools.

Turkish Chess Federation made a terrible blunder! That is not to way to improve the chess. That is just an act to produce new troubles in the chess community. And since I am from that country I am also aware of the anti-democratic way these guys act. Such a shame!

Just what you would expect from someone supporting Ilyumzhinov: a terrible action from the TCF.
Oh yes, I very much agree. "Gens una" sunt, one of a kind. Those incapable people can't really learn and calm down since their egos just seem hopelessly wounded. What they pretend to do for chess seems rather motivated by their unstoppable urge to shine personally. Unfortunately for the majority of their members, they have been allowed to chose FIDE as their major battleground. Endless story of pyrrhic victories, sadly.
At least, finally and most fortunately, the organisation of future world championship cycles has been outsourced to Andrew Paulson in the meantime. He seems to be an excellent and capable guy. Let's hope for such ridiculous tragedies to be worth side notes at most long term.

Please stop reporting this bullsh!t. You are wasting space and time on this ancient soap opera.
You want to censor Chessvibes too? Are you from the Turkish Bureau of Let's Stop Freedom of Speech and Don't Report Anything About Our Poor Misunderstood Chess Federation. I rather think YOU are the waste of space, Septimus.

Ali Nihat YAZICI is well-known in Turkey for his incapability in chess and Ilyumzhinov a** kissing. He bans Turkey's chess players from playing chess for silly reasons (e.g. Suat Atalik). And you know what is funnier besides these? He was against Ilyumzhinov at first, then wrote a stupid letter that explains he changed his ways and found faith in Ilyumzhinov.
See below for even more fun:
Perhaps Ali Nihat YAZICI had a visit from Ilyumzhinov's buddies (the aliens) and they set him straight! :-)

This Yazici alone has created more damage to the image of chess than anyone else. Even if Kirsan would be gone, to have these sort of individuals calling the shots as they please it's truly shameful. He is a pathetic man, without principles, without a code of honour, always amibtious to get into some power seat (FIDE or ECU) and he'd not care if his positions over time look silly, contradictory. He's a major sellout. It's because of people like him that chess will always remain an "exotic" hobby. Shame on you, Sir Shame on you.
I don't normally comment on articles here, also since many posts don't consider courtesy or understand how to adress individuals. A lot of posts don't show any respect for anyone. Even the FIDE president deserves respect.
That said, Mr Yazici seems to show his very little side, abusing the organisation of the world's biggest event for political reasons. The olympiad was and has never been about politics. Even when country's were at war, they would still compete against each other on the chess board. The signal he is sending now, and together with him FIDE considering they posted his letter on their website, shows a dangerous precedent which gives the impression FIDE has become that what federations like England and Georgia are fighting.
It is my belief that this act is not only to be undone, but also to be prevented from being done in any future. I suggest FIDE gives the power to appoint arbiters to those being an arbiter, using a selection commission for all major events organised by FIDE. Organisers should in my opinion never decide on who will be an arbiter on any event. An arbiter is independant, and should be appointed as so based on his/her arbiter record and/or career vue.
1 year 10 months ago
We need another world chess federation! FIDE is hilarious. Anything is better than these guys.
Absolutely! Substitution seems to be the only available option - either of the top representatives within FIDE, or if impossible, rather replace the organisation as a whole by ACP for the purpose of representing and organising global chess. I'd personally rather try and convince my cat than hoping for enduring reason within current FIDE.

The observation platform on the top of the rocky spire provides a spectacular panoramic view over the Chamonix Valley and the surrounding peaks of the French Alps ranging from the dominant massif of Mont Blanc, its satellite Mont Blanc de Tacul, the Aiguille du Geant and the serrated spires of the other Chamonix Aiguilles looming above the dazzling white, crevassed slopes of the Mer de Glace.
An outstanding alpine landscape - not to be missed.

text: I think I screw up majorly this time. I currently own a 1.0.2 iphone hacked with the original unlocking method, the one before anysim. Since the installer is not allowing me to download software needed to revirginize the phone, I figure that a system restore back to 1.0.2 would fix the problem. However, When I try to system restore back to 1.0.2, itune is giving me error 4 saying the restore is unable to complete and I am stuck in recovery telling me to connect to itune. Is there anythign that I can do????

Hi all,
Firstly a big up to all you guys hard at work on the software unlock!
I have a bit of a problem and i could use your help.
I decided upon my infinite wisdom and after reading the posts for the last few months, that i would be a good idea to try my hand at the HW unlock. Bad idea!!
Everything went well and i even managed to the case off with very minimal damage.
I read Geohots blog a good few times to farmiliarise myself with the procedure (after jailbreaking my OTB 1.1.2 in December).
I installed all the nessisary files and went through the whole ienew procedure (At which point i lost my WIFI). That was ok as i had installed terminal beforehand. After the last command "bbupdater -v" i got the could not find baseband error which i believe is quite normal.
This is where it all went wrong. The phone rebooted into recovery mode and i tried to restore 1.1.2....Nothing. 1.0.2 nothing and finally managed to get 1.1.1 loaded up.
Now the phone comes up like when i first got it Active with iTunes. I have tried reloading all of the previous firmware and it either hangs or kicks me back out with an error code (usually 1101).
The keypad has a severe delay (with the loss of BB) and the usual codes #3001... gets me in but when i go to General, about there is only 2 pieces of information. Strangely 1 of them says Firware version and is blank?
I am on the virge now of just installing 1.1.3 to try fix my brick
I have read through the forums for 2 days and i believe that i have tried everything possible before posting up.
P.S. please don't flame me, i have read through the forums and i cannot find the answers i need to fix it.
Thanks in advance!

Rising MMA Stars Collide as Mayhem Miller Takes on Ultimate Fighter contestant Lodune Sincaid
LOS ANGELES, June 21, 2006 Today the World Fighting Alliance (WFA) unveiled the remainder of its fight card for the upcoming WFA: King of the Streets national Pay-Per-View event live from the Forum in Los Angeles on July 22nd. Four additional under card bouts were announced today, each featuring names well recognized and respected within the MMA ranks.
Jason Mayhem Miller (14-4-0) vs. Lodune Sincaid (9-2-0) This bout pits two of the sports youngest and most over-the-top personalities against one another. After a successful tour of duty building a name for himself in Icon Sport events in Honolulu, the man they call Mayhem brings his one-of-a-kind persona to the WFA to face Lodune Sincaid at King of the Streets. Sincaid, best-known for his role on the first season of Spike TVs The Ultimate Fighter reality series, brings a respectable 9-2-0 record into the ring in a bout that will determine which of these rising stars is most poised to take his game to the next level.
Rob McCullough vs. Harris SarmientoThe man they call Razor gets a chance at vengeance as these two face each other for the first time since Sarmiento defeated McCullough two years ago. Since that bout, McCulloughs been a flawless 6-0-0, while Sarmientos path has been marked by several defeats. McCulloughs motivation will be for redemption, while Sarmiento knows a victory at WFA: King of the Streets could get his career back on a winning track.
Jorge Oliveira (2-1-0) vs. Marvin Eastman (12-6-0)This bout features veteran against up and comer as the Chute Academy-groomed Oliveira looks to further establish himself in the sport with a victory over MMA veteran Eastman. On July 22nd, Eastmans sights will be fixed firmly on reclaiming the top-ranked status he once held in the sport, despite the youthful ambitions of Oliveira.
Jose Landi-Jons (21-11-0) vs. TBDWhile many North American MMA fans may not be familiar with Landi-Jons, past wins over UFC champion Matt Hughes and Pat Militich should be enough to illustrate the talent and legitimacy of the man many know as Pele. The Brazilian submission specialist has 21 career victories and actually has as many victories coming by way of knockout as he does by submission. He looks to etch his name in the minds of North American MMA fans at WFA: King of the Streets.
These four matchups round out an already unparalleled fight card featuring the long-anticipated return of Bas Rutten as he squares off against Kimo, Rampage Jacksons rebirth in North America taking on Matt Lindland, undefeated rising MMA star Lyoto Machida facing Lions Den veteran Vernon Tiger White, former UFC veteran heavyweights Ricco Rodriguez against Ron Waterman, and Ivan Salaverry taking on Art Santore.
Tickets for WFA: King of the Streets at The Forum are available at all Southern California Ticket Master outlets (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernadino and Ventura Counties), online at Ticketmaster.com or charge by phone at (213) 480-3232, (714) 740-2000, (661) 322-2525 or (805) 583-8700.

Sustainable development
Building local maize sources
In Peru, Backus are encouraging smallholder development by moving part of their hard yellow maize procurement from imports (predominantly from Argentina) to local crops grown by smallholder farmers.
Backus have partnered with CEDEPAS (The Ecumenical Centre of Promotion and Social Action) in the project. In 2009, 271 producers from the Jequetepeque valley received training and technical assistance in productive and organizational topics that seek to improve access to knowledge and promote partnerships to achieve greater efficiency and cost control. Of the total of participants, 225 sold their production to Backus. Thanks to the technical assistance received, the producers have improved their productive capacities, increasing their average yields per hectare between 7.5 MT/Ha to 8.7Mt/ha in 2009.
Our priorities: Enterprise development
See how we're building supply chains that reflect our own values and commitment
Virtual school assists teaching in Peru
In Peru, Backus have implemented a programme, Escuela Virtual Backus (Backus Virtual School), to support local education. This programme offers interactive educational materials for teachers with the objective to contribute towards improving the quality of Peruvian education. This is achieved by helping teachers develop new skills and by providing new educational resources that they can use.
Recently, 170 teachers graduated from the 'Teacher Upgrade Programme' (TUP). This programme is run by 'Fundación Cisneros' and is intended for Latin American elementary school teachers with the aim to promote their ongoing development. The TUP offers free online courses and educational TV programmes so teachers can improve their teaching skills on subjects that are relevant to the development of their communities.
Our priorities: Communities
Awareness, education and prevention
In 2007, Backus in Peru established their policy instead of position statement on HIV/AIDS based on SABMiller's global policy on this issue, the Global Compact Principles, the Millennium Development Goals and national legislation. In 2008, this was followed by an intensive communications campaign among all workers throughout the company, using verbal, written and electronic means.
In addition to the communications campaign, in 2008, employees were for the first time offered the possibility to have an HIV test incorporated into their routine medical examination programme and as a result, 76% accepted the voluntary test. Alongside working with employees, the awareness campaign has expanded to cover commercial partners and local communities.
To support this work, Backus was an inaugural member of the Peruvian Business Council in response to HIV/AIDS (CEVIH), established in 2009 with 15 other companies. The Council Presidency is occupied by the Backus representative.

Go away. If you want to advertise go to a site that accepts advertising.
Yes, go away and don't come back. And spend some time learning to write and how to get a real job.
electrocution is very fine to you, too. power sources to LED lights can supply enough current (more or less 30 milliamps depending on path, and voltage does not have a thing to do with it) to kill you. especially when you are wet as a duck.
that stuff would have to be bonded with a #8 copper wire to all plumbing and electrical ground per code, and the supply should be UL registered and power located where it cannot be reached by anybody in contact with the tub or its fixtures.
but then, a spammer would consider that a way to get the next homebuyer to pick up another defective kit.
much better a plastic fiber optics lightpipe to a central light source off in a safe place.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Gee, I guess this spammer doesn't know what he's talking about. What a surprise.
perhaps he got snookered for $150 on a "make Internet money now very fine goodbucks" seminar. well, there goes the money for spellcheck...

Dolos and Dikę in Sophokles' Elektra
Brill, 2001 - Architecture - 207 pages
The main problem facing critics of Sophokles Elektra has always been understanding the presentation of the vengeance and the nature of justice it represents. This volume addresses the ethical issues of this play through an analysis of the language and argumentation which the characters use to explain and justify their behaviour.The focus is on the examination of the themes of aidôs and dolos, and the way in which each contributes to our overall understanding of the vengeance as an act which, for all its justice, remains shameful. By exploring the union between these two contradictory elements, this study exposes the ethical complexity of Sophokles treatment of the vengeance theme. Dolos & Dikę contains a useful critique of recent interpretative approaches to the play, a full bibliography, and a complete index of passages cited.
