sounding board
Simple Definition of sounding board
: a person or group with whom you discuss ideas to see if the ideas are good
Full Definition of sounding board
1a : a structure behind or over a pulpit, rostrum, or platform to give distinctness and sonority to soundb : a device or agency that helps propagate opinions or utterancesc : a person or group on whom one tries out an idea or opinion as a means of evaluating it
2 : soundboard 1

Examples of sounding board in a sentence
My friend is my sounding board for new ideas.
Did You Know?
Beginning during the Renaissance, a flat wooden canopy called a sounding board was placed over church pulpits, amplifying the sound of the preacher's voice, carrying it to the farthest reaches of the church. Similarly, ideas can be spread by a figurative sounding board. A publication, for example, can be a sounding board for propaganda. That's one modern sense of the word. But when sound bounces off a literal sounding board, not only does it reach more people, it also comes across more clearly. Likewise, bouncing ideas off another person can lend clarity to one's thought processes. If someone comes to you and says "How does this sound?" and leaves with his or her mind made up (whether or not you've ventured a word), you have served as a very effective sounding board.
First Known Use of sounding board
Rhymes with sounding board
aboveboard, beaverboard, bottle gourd, centerboard, checkerboard, circuit board, clavichord, College Board, cutting board, daggerboard, disaccord, diving board, drawing board, emery board, fiberboard, fingerboard, free on board, gold record, harpsichord, leaderboard, mortarboard, motherboard, of record, overboard, overlord, paddleboard, paperboard, pinafored, plasterboard, pompadoured, room and board, running board, sandwich board, shoulder board, shuffleboard, silver cord, smorgasbord, spinal cord, storyboard, sweep the board, tape-record, teeterboard, tetrachord, untoward, weatherboard

This hotel is beautiful! I went with my husband for our honeymoon and we loved it! Specially the view from the pool and our room... it was spectacular!
It was sunny during our whole stay but I know that it can be rainy in this part of the island, so it's a risk you have to take, I knew that before going but I stayed here anyways because this part of the island is so beautiful, it felt like a tropical paradise.
What I can not forget about the whole stay is their main restaurant (Kauai Grill) and the Wagyu Beef I had there ( God, I can still taste it in my mouth!), everytime I'm hungry I think of that beef and I get even hungrier! :D
The service was amazing! The staff in the pool is very nice and diligent (I remember Noah particularly). It was really a great experience and it's worth the money you spend to stay in this beautiful place.

HELP!! PLEASE!! -- Refinance of Mortgage & Credit Score
I have always had a good credit rating, or so I thought. FICO Score is 757 on this website. However, when I attempt to refinance my mortgage the bank comes back with a score of 711.
When running the credit rating on other websites such as FreeCredit it places me around 771.
I don't understand how the attempt to refinance gives me a higher risk score.
Can anyone please help me understand?!?!

Brentford 0-3 Southampton
- From the section Football
Southampton took a huge step towards promotion from League One with a dominant display against Brentford.
Saints remain level on points with Huddersfield, who beat Brighton, but have a vastly superior goal difference and a game in hand on the Terriers.
Adam Lallana's low 15-yard shot and David Connolly's close-range strike put the visitors 2-0 up at the break.
Brentford's Sam Saunders had a penalty saved by keeper Kelvin Davis before Oscar Gobern's tap-in sealed the win.
The Bees rarely threatened but missed a glorious opportunity to make things nervy for the visitors with 10 minutes left when keeper Davis pulled off a wonderful save to deny Saunders after Frazer Richardson felled Myles Weston.
But in truth, Southampton's 11th away win of the season rarely looked in doubt from the moment Lallana grabbed his 11th goal of the campaign after 16 minutes.
Connolly doubled the advantage after half an hour with a cool finish following a long clearance from Davis and the Saints continued to hold the upper hand after the interval.
Lallana went close after a sweeping move soon after and Rickie Lambert's fierce free-kick forced keeper Simon Moore to pull off a smart save.
And substitute Gobern grabbed his first Saints goal to wrap up the victory, meaning one win from their last two games should be enough for them to seal a return to the Championship even if Huddersfield win their final fixture.
Southampton boss Nigel Adkins told BBC Radio Solent:
"We started the game very well and scored two good goals and saw the game out in the second half.
"Two more games to go we've just got to keep working very hard
"We've said all along we're going to try and win our remaining games and whatever the Huddersfield score is we have to go down to Plymouth and try and win a game of football."

I'm glad Jerry is on the verge of recovery (what that means, I don't know -- will he recover or is it still not known) My sister was on scene as this happened. She is from Wyoming and we grew up around horses. As everyone was trying to figure out what to do, including the driver, she said they needed to get him unhooked from the carriage and get water for him, which they did. He was trying to get up and kept slipping and she told them they needed to get something that he could get his footing on to keep from falling and was told his horseshoes were made for the asphalt. Well and good, but they were still slipping. She stayed until authorities showed up and the people from the stable. I'm sure they are well taken care of, but I wonder how many of the drivers actually have horse experience and know what to do when an animal goes down. According to my sister, this driver didn't.

150? I would bet that a heat index above 120 has never been exceeded in Salt Lake City (outside at least, in a car left in a parking lot that's a different matter).

"If the temp is above 90-95, they shouldn't pull. What is that, 2 days a year in SLC?"
In the past 60 days at SLC, 56 of them have been 90+ (3 of the other 4 were 89 degrees).

I love horses. They are animals who have a special relationship with humans. I
have owned and trained them for pleasure riding. They are wonderful to just
watch and be around. All of you who want the carriage rides stopped, please
#1 Horses are expensive to keep, they could be put down because their owner could not afford them.
#2 They love what they do, it is easy for them, they are eager to work. They want to be picked to work each day.
#3 They work 6 hours a day, 3 or 4 days a week. The rest of their time is at pasture or in a stall.
#4 The horses are well fed, well groomed, well shod and well taken care of.
#5 They travel in and out of shade as they travel around the downtown, and rest in shade between trips. In the winter, they have a double thick coat of fur.
#6 A small business beloved of many people would close.
#7 The carriage drivers would be out of jobs.
These horses work part-time at a job they love, with full medical, hoof and dental care, housing and meals included. Leave them and this business alone.

I agree. It's so cruel to have horses do what they were created to do so let's just send them all to the packing house to be made into dog food.

I love horses and have owned, ridden and trained them for pleasure riding. They
have a special relationship with humans, and are wonderful to watch and just be
around. For those who think they should not be pulling carriages downtown,
please remember:
1 Horses are expensive to keep. If they do not work, they could be put down because of the cost.
2 They love to work. They come to the fence wanting to work.
3 They work 6 hours a day, 3 to 4 days a week, and spend the rest of the time at pasture or in a stall.
4 They are in good condition, well groomed and well fed, with water kept under the carriage.
5 They work part-time at an easy job they love, with full health, hoof and dental care, housing and food included.
6 They travel in and out of shade as they travel downtown, and rest in the shade between trips.
7 In the winter, they have double thick fur.
8 A beloved small business would be forced to close.
9 Carriage drivers would lose their jobs.
10 They add to the charm and delight of our city. Leave them alone.

The Humain Society said, "The question always comes back to whether animals
should be used for this purpose". What purpose? Pulling a cart? Of
course horses can be used to pull a cart! Horses have used for pulling carts
for hundreds of years!
I don't think it's any harder to pull a wagon on a city street than it is on a farm.
If car fumes are the problem... then maybe it's the cars that should go, not the horses.

I totally agree with Beaver Native. Enough water, shade and. not being over worked in the mid day heat is common sense for an owner. Perhaps Spring and Fall would be better options for carriage rides. Greed should never trump responsible ownership of animals. All animals.

This is the order of the day: if it is difficult, quit; if it is challenging
file a protest; if it requires effort and thought, walk away.
I appreciate PETA and the Human Society for their original mission statements. But out of boredom (and we can only be glad they didn't just shoot the horse out of boredom) they seem anxious to become involved in all things whether they understand all aspects of the situation or not -- if an animal is moving, it must be a bad thing.
A little work never hurt anyone, and some may even suggest that it is actually a benefit and not a curse. We have enough humans who no longer wish to work, let's not impose that same corrupt philosophy onto the animal kingdom as well.

Are the horses receiving adequate care? That is the real question here. How often are they watered? Can they find water when they want to? The heat is unbearable for people walking on days like this. Add a nice thick coat on top of the heat coming off the asphalt and it would seem that 150 degree heat index is way too high. I know everybody has to make a living, but certainly more consideration and care should be given to the well being of the horse.

Maybe we longs are going to be ok tomorrow -- ADBE seems to be recovering after hours. I've been watching some big buys go through, including a 7,000 share buy at 32.97
I mean 1 dollar lost.. I'd take a dollar loss here.
Its still going to be down BIG after hours... it's just been creeping up 20 cents or so... its not going to make up for the 2 dollars lost
ADBE was in-line. They have a major upgrade to be released. They guided conservatively and still it was the high end of expectations. Do Not Worry! We'll see 38 by end of April with the new release. That's why the stock steadied. People are buyers here.

SCINTILLATION brain scanning is a useful, simple, and relatively innocuous procedure for the detection and localization of intracranial disease in the pediatric age-group. Because scintillation scanning methods have in the last decade become quite sophisticated, they now represent an important diagnostic tool. The purpose of this paper is to present general principles of scintillation brain scanning and our experience with it in children through illustrative case material.
It is not our intention to compare the accuracy of brain scanning with that of radiographic contrast studies in children. We do not have enough cases to do this with validity, and in any event we feel that these various procedures should be regarded as adjuncts, not competitors. The virtue of brain scanning as compared to contrast studies lies not in greater accuracy of detection but in complete absence of morbidity and mortality. Moreover, when successful in detecting a space-occupying lesion it generally

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Aug 01st, 2005
Running Time: 110
Director: Chi Chi LaRue
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
Cast: Mercedez, Nick Manning, Julian (I), Lola (I), Randy Spears, Nicole Sheridan, Katsuni, Voodoo, Cherokee (III)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Only for Mercedez fans.
At first you think this is going to be a takeoff on the "telenovelas" so popular on Mexican-American TV. But it turns out to be just a poorly developed, unconvincing backstage murder mystery.
Mercedez, who really does look like a Mexican movie star, plays one. Randy Spears plays her producer. He fucks her - twice. Julian plays the show's male lead. Nicole Sheridan and Voodoo are nerdy crew members.
Mercedez joins in a threeway with Lola and Nick Manning. Julian has a threeway with Cherokee and Katsumi. Voodoo and Nicole, as usual, do each other.
After half the cast gets murdered, at the end of the movie, the fourth wall is suddenly broken, and we know we're on a Vivid set. It's a shortcut ending, as if they couldn't think of anything better.

Lone Survivor: Marcus Luttrell on Operation Redwing, eight years later
posted at 6:01 pm on December 9, 2013 by Erika Johnsen
As I mentioned back in August, I was pumped when I first learned that Hollywood was basing a film off of Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of Seal Team 10, the mind-blowing biography by retired Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, but simultaneously very wary, because — well, it's Hollywood. It's a story that undoubtedly deserves to be retold again and again, especially to a wider movie-going audience, but the book was far too moving, intense, and worthy a play-by-play of extraordinary valor and all-American badassery to risk any political perversions. "60 Minutes" had a few of the answers to some of my reservations during their special on Luttrell's experiences and the upcoming movie last night, and I have to say, my hopes for an all-around in-good-faith adaptation are getting stronger.
Here's another trailer for the movie, which comes out this January:

Using Mobile Phones to Help Families Access Vital Medicaid CoverageNovember 18, 2011
Recent data shows that people of color and low-income populations are adopting mobile technology at a rapid pace and are increasingly using mobile tools to access the Internet. These tools enable new ways of interacting with the government and enrolling in public services. Instead of standing in line at the DMV, renewing a driver's license can be done more conveniently from a mobile device, and important notifications, such as status updates from the Department of Homeland Security, can be received through text messages. With mobile phones - particularly smartphones - there is an opportunity...

- By date
Sep 25, 2012With its combination of a good storyline, a memorable cast of characters, decent graphics, and beautiful music, Lunar: Silver Star Story Touch is sure to quench your JRPG thirst.
Sep 24, 2012I won't claim that the control scheme here – good though it may be – is on par with using a physical controller, but it's still very solid. Your fingers will inevitably cramp during long play sessions, but all in all Lunar Silver Star Story Touch is an impressive facsimile of the console classic.
Sep 30, 2012Like so many games these days, Lunar: Silver Star Story Touch hit the App Store with some some obvious flaws. The ultimate question isn't what it might become, but whether it can be recommended as-is. The short answer is "yes."
Oct 12, 2012While not absolutely one of the best exponents of the genre, Lunar: The Silver Star is reincarnated on iOS with a new title that allows us to discover a hidden little gem in the landscape of the 90's JRPGs.
Sep 21, 2012Touch controls breathe new life into this PlayStation classic for a mobile audience.
Sep 30, 2012The poor technical implementation aside, I still think Lunar is a great game. This just doesn't like the way it was originally intended to play.
Sep 26, 2012Lunar: Silver Star Story Touch is a charming JRPG with plenty of nice touches and an enjoyable story, but it's tarnished a little by poor controls.

The iOS version plays well, although the controls are a bit clunky and take some getting used to.

It has been over a year since Joe MacMillan made his destructive exit from Cardiff Electric and set out on a solitary trek to Fisk Observatory. There, he reconnected with Sara Wheeler, a college friend and intellectual sparring partner who knew Joe before his creative ambition was corrupted by Machiavellian tendencies. They have been together ever since, and Sara's love and understanding have helped Joe tame his inner demons and rediscover his better, truer self. After sidelining himself for a year, Joe is eager to return to work, but his reputation remains a major hurdle. With few options, he accepts a job offer from Sara's father, Jacob Wheeler, the formidable chief of a Dallas oil company called Westgroup Energy. It's a drone job, but Joe's passion for tech and his knack for the breakthrough idea means he won't be at the bottom for long. As Joe climbs the ladder at Westgroup Energy, he will re-enter the lives of the people he hurt at Cardiff. And Joe's struggle to overcome their skepticism won't be the only hurdle he faces.
An accomplished and versatile performer, Lee Pace has established himself as a powerful leading man, consistently delivering compelling performances on film, television and stage.
Pace was recently seen on the big screen reprising his role as the Elf King Thranduil in the final installment of Peter Jackson's trilogy The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies. Pace previously appeared in the two prior Hobbit films. Warner Bros. released the film December 17, 2014.
Pace was seen in the highest grossing film in 2014, as the intergalactic villain Ronan the Accuser in Guardians of the Galaxy. The Marvel film was released last summer and has grossed over $700 million worldwide.
He recently wrapped production in South Africa as the lead in the sci-fi thriller Revolt, written and directed by Joe Miale. Pace stars opposite Bérénice Marlohe in the film, which follows the story of an American soldier and a French foreign aid worker who team up in Africa amid humankind's last stand against a cataclysmic alien invasion. He can also be seen in Stephen Frears' untitled Lance Armstrong biopic due out next year.
On the small screen, Pace recently guest-starred on season 3 of The Mindy Project as Alex, Mindy's ex-boyfriend from college. He is most notable for his starring role in Bryan Fuller's award-winning and critically-acclaimed series Pushing Daisies, for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe® and Emmy® in the category of Outstanding Lead Actor. The dramedy television series aired on ABC for two seasons earning a dedicated and cult following fan base.
Pace's breakout role in the Sundance hit Soldier's Girl earned him a Gotham Award, as well as his first nomination for a Golden Globe® and an Independent Spirit Award. The Peabody Award-winning film followed the true story of a transgendered woman dating a U.S. soldier.
His other film credits include Doug McGrath's Truman Capote memoir/biography Infamous opposite Toby Jones, Sandra Bullock and Daniel Craig; Robert De Niro's CIA drama The Good Shepherd opposite Matt Damon; visionary director Tarsem Singh's The Fall, which premiered at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival; Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day opposite Amy Adams and Frances McDormand; the Tom Ford directorial debut A Single Man opposite Colin Firth and Julianne Moore; Max Winkler's Ceremony opposite Uma Thurman; Steven Spielberg's Lincoln; and the nomadic vampire Garrett in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.
For all his roles on screen, Pace maintains a connection to theatre. He starred in the limited run of the Off-Broadway production Small Tragedy, which garnered him an Outstanding Actor Lucille Lortel Award nomination, as well as in the two-character play Guardians for which he was also nominated for a Lucille Lortel Award. Most recently, Pace returned to the stage in the Tony®-nominated Broadway revival production of Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart.
Born in Oklahoma, Pace began his acting career at the Alley Theatre in Houston before training at the Juilliard School. As a member of Group 30 in Juilliard's Drama Division, Pace starred in multiple school productions of Romeo & Juliet, Richard III and Julius Caesar.

If you and your partner are considering permanent birth control options, then it's likely you'll have a discussion about the pros and cons of tubal ligation (getting a woman's tubes tied) versus a vasectomy. Both procedures result in permanent sterilization. But the procedure time, length of recovery and cost vary. It's important to understand both options so you can ultimately decide on the option that is right for your situation. Read More

Hopefully a win against Megon's boys... please let us finish above West Ham.The only positive about the last couple of games is that the penny has finally dropped with Lennon... at last he's playing the way he's supposed to.I see Bent has been linked with a move to the Toon... I can't see it happening though - at this rate the only striker we'll have left is Keane. He's a fantastic player, but he couldn't do it all on his own!

Although forest carbon offsets can play an important role in the implementation of comprehensive climate policy, they also face an inherent risk of reversal. If such risks are positively correlated across projects, it can affect the integrity of larger project portfolios and potentially the entire offsets program. Here, we discuss three types of risks that could affect forest offsets—fat tails, micro-correlation, and tail dependence—and provide examples of how they could present themselves in a forest offset context. Given these potential dependencies, we suggest several new risk management approaches that take into account dependencies in reversal risk across projects and which could help guard the climate integrity of an offsets program. We also argue that data collection be included as an integral part of any offsets program so that disturbance-related dependencies may be identified and managed as early and to the greatest extent possible.

Staying healthy is important these days, perhaps more than ever with obesity levels on the rise. To help you stay current with the demand of healthful food items from wary customers, there are some low-cost, abundant, and versatile foods you can include in your menu. So with a level of irony that borders on ridiculous considering three previous blogs that dealt exclusively with liquor, these are some of the best foods you can dish out to your health-conscious customers.
One of the most common companions to beverages and foods, lemons are jam-packed with vitamins, flavonoids, and citrus. One whole lemon contains a daily serving of vitamin C, which is basically diesel fuel for the human body, buffing out your immune system, HDL cholesterol (that's the good kind), and bones. There's also evidence that suggests the flavonoids help prevent the growth of cancer cells since they act as an anti-inflammatory. And on top of all of that, lemons only contain somewhere around 17 calories. Who would've guessed that this lip-puckering, water-flavoring, fish-deliciousing little fruit would be so incredible?
Even the chocophiles at your restaurant can take part in a healthy diet to naturally build up their body. Dark chocolate is known to reduce blood pressure and, kind of like lemons, increase HDL cholesterol. Unlike lemons, it also reduces LDL cholesterol, so your customers can actually de-crust an artery or two after a pink cheeseburger and feel fantastic while doing it. The "I feel fantastic" sensation exists because dark chocolate also contains psychoactive chemicals, which is an expensive way of saying it's awesome. It helps boost mood, increase focus, and activates the pleasure center of the brain. Really, it's a wonder everyone isn't a chocoholic.
Although moderation in your dishes is definitely key — despite its health benefits, nobody has ever become a prizefighter because they ate 40 lbs. of dark chocolate.
Reviled by children everywhere and possibly considered wanna-be trees that once had really big dreams but never enough drive, broccoli is, in the words of mothers everywhere, "good for you". It's best served raw so that nutrients and vitamins aren't boiled away because you can actually destroy up to 33% of broccoli's nutrition just by boiling it. Raw, it retains somewhere around 100% of your daily allotment of vitamin K, 200% of your vitamin C, and also helps fight off cancer growth. But if you have to heat your broccoli to help someone stand that awful pseudo-barky texture, do it in a microwave and you'll save up to 90% of the vitamin C content, and your customer's immune system will be all, "Yay!"
One of the less widely-known healthy foods, romaine lettuce contains just about everything your body needs. Just two cups contains enough Vitamin A and K to get you through the day, with vitamin C, folate, and fiber following up in decent portions. Toss some on a salad, go easy on the dressing, and you have a healthy, decently tasty meal or appetizer. On the downside, it costs more than iceberg lettuce. But considering iceberg lettuce doesn't contain nearly as much in the way of daily essentials as its cousin with the much fancier name, it's not that bad of a tradeoff. Besides, most things are more expensive than iceberg lettuce — you can pick up a whole head for, like, a nickel.
Believe it or not, Popeye was actually on to something. The only way spinach could be healthier or more convenient for you is if it was filled with water so you didn't have to take time away from eating to hydrate. One cup has roughly 20% of your daily allotment of fiber, and it also helps prevent cancers with natural flavonoids. It contains antioxidants, helps regulate blood pressure, boosts your immune system, strengthens your bones, promotes healthy skin, and even shields the human nervous system. This single plant is so amazing that it actually helps protect your central and peripheral nervous systems, which, in case your medical textbook is on the other side of the room, is one of the only systems in the human body that doesn't naturally repair itself after damage. Clearly, spinach doesn't mess around.
And, in a nutshell, that's how Popeye kept getting back up after taking an uppercut from Bluto.

Arizona Cardinals
Kerry Taylor puts self in running for spot on Arizona Cardinals
GLENDALE, Ariz. – This was not the first time Kerry Taylor played well in front of these fans, but it may have been the most important.
An Arizona State product who attended Chandler Hamilton High School, Taylor is battling to earn one of the few open receiver spots on the Arizona Cardinals' roster, and missing part of training camp and the team's preseason opener in Green Bay with an injury didn't help his cause.
"It stunk missing the first one, but I knew if I came back and had a strong showing today that it would make up for it," Taylor said after Saturday's 12-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
That he did.
But while Taylor's four-catch, 85-yard performance will help his cause, the receiver understands that one good game does not mean he is guaranteed a roster spot.
"I feel good right now, but there's still two weeks to go," he said of his chances of making the team. "One week you could be great, the next week you could be horrible.
"I've just got to keep working and keep doing what I've got to do, be consistent and make plays."
The one play Taylor said he wanted back was a potential second quarter touchdown pass that glanced ever so slightly off his fingers, but that play, which few receivers would have made, did little to dampen what was a very good outing.
"Kerry had a nice ball game; he had a good week of practice, too," Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians said. "It was good to see him back out there because he missed some time and it hurt him."
Arians added that receivers Jaron Brown and Charles Hawkins also played well, so "there's some good battles."
At the very least, the 24-year-old Taylor made himself a strong contender going forward. And at most, the veteran of the Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings may have put himself in the lead.
"I feel like I got a lot of opportunities today to make plays," Taylor said. "I felt like I did that. Hopefully I can continue to do that and keep making plays."
