iTunes Match is a service from Apple that allows you to put all your non-iTunes purchased music into the cloud for sharing across your Apple devices. This is a great option for people with lots of music that they've ripped from CD and put into iTunes, for example.
The following video shows how to purchase iTunes Match and start setting it up, as well as how to see what's happening with your music as the service attempts to match songs that are available in the iTunes store, or upload copies of your songs that are not in the store.

Although Logic began as music notation software, its Score Editor has recently been overshadowed – outpaced even – by its other features; and outshone by the richer feature set of the dedicated music notation software, Sibelius. We've looked previously at Johannes Prischl's excellent book covering the Score Editor. Now Groove 3 has released an equally useful, well-structured and expertly-written and presented set of nearly 60 video tutorials on the subject.
About Mark Sealey
Mark Sealey is a British expatriate working and living in Southern California with his artist/writer wife, Roberta Lannes-Sealey, whom he met in 1996, when the web, she and he were much younger. Mark's interest in computers began in the the early '80s when his father suggested that, If we don't understand how to control them, they'll creep up behind us and make life unbearable. Have they? Using the venerable Acorn system until his move to the US, Mark wrote extensively about the BBC and RISC machines. He concentrated chiefly on education, music and productivity/system software; at the time Micronet and Prestel led the way for wide area networking… he published over 2,000 articles for these outlets. After graduating with a humanities degree, Mark was a teacher for 20 years until 1994 - first in Italy then the UK. Becaming increasingly attracted to the world of information technology as a major contributor to children's learning and development, he eventually moved to editing the UK's chief journals in the educational computing. He has always enjoyed freelance reviewing, consulting, editing and writing. When he moved to the US, he was fortunate enough to find full time employment at a major arts non-profit as a software engineer; though it's doubtful if there's a single skill which he was originally hired to use that's still in daily use. Mark is also a composer of chamber and orchestral music, music critic, a published poet, photographer and environmentalist with an enthusiasm for fitness, vegan nutrition and long distance running. He is now convinced that only humans' humility can save our planet.

Nemo's Ten Point Tutorial Number 11
Photoshop CS5 Workflow for Beginners — #1 — Off-color holiday food under glass
When taking a photograph indoors where light is artificial and inaccurate to the eye, don't worry about in-camera color balance unless you know what you are doing. Available light photos are easier to improve via Photoshop CS5 than images made using a flash.
Below is my original JPG taken full frame with a steady hand inside a high end grocery store. I liked the bizarre irony of the subject matter and the linear chaos of the composition. I wanted to include the butcher's hand reaching for some chicken apple spice sausages, but he wouldn't cooperate, and I didn't want to get thrown out of the store.

Pretty, very, very pretty. Just right for my skin tone, it is the loveliest rich pink berry. It feels good going on, is quite moisturising and has just the right amount of brightness and sheen for me. In a heavenly place between mat and shiny. It doesn't last for more than an hour on me, but it wears off gracefully and doesn't make my lips feel tired as some lipsticks do. I love the urban decay lipstick smell too - vanilla is how I would describe it.

On my light skin this berry colour fairly explodes, provides a lot of impact on just two swipes. However, much as I love the colour, it's drying me out. I need more moisture in my lipstick so this won't be my berry HG, though Urban Decay is by far my favourite makeup brand in the world.

I rated this 4 overall because the packaging bugs me. I like the idea of it, but in practicality, it's not great. but I can live it, whatever. the color and the formula are gorgeous on my NC15 not-very-pigmented lips. I find it very moisturizing and it doesn't just cake into the lines on my lips. It's creamy, but not too sheer. The color on me is a light berry/deeper pink. Hard to describe...it's not like a plum or just a berry, it just seems a bit pinker on me but NOT a pepto-bismol pink like MAC's Snob is on me. It's son flattering. it looks quite dark inthe tube but on my lips it's lighter and just brightens my face so much. I will definitely repurchase!

This is my third UD lipstick and I'm not disappointed yet! I really love the color of this one, which looks like a dark, dusty rose to me. However, I thought the formula would be more thick.....that it would be full coverage cream. It is not sheer on me or gloss-like, but it is not rich and creamy like I thought it would be either. So, I had to take a lippie off for the misleading coverage. However, if you were wanting this l/s, definitely buy it. The only time I really noticed the semi-sheer coverage was when I was applying it. The formula IS buildable.

I really love this color, but I want to say that what I love most is that it's not full coverage. It's semi-sheer. The website says full coverage. I bought this and Jilted yesterday. Jilted... Now THAT'S full coverage. This? No. It's a sheer berry that I'm sure is perfect for everyday. It's slightly moisturizing and leaves a glossy sheen when first applied. Dries down matte on my currently dry-ish lips and leaves a slight stain. I love it!

I have no problems with smell or taste on this particular color. It comes off as a matte rose berry and is very wearable. It shows up on my lips; i'm very fair. It lasts a long time, too. Perfect for me; I would recommend this.

I wanted so much to love this, and Buzzkill is a pretty pretty color; a rosy berry.
It's just not my "cup of tea."
On me(NW15, brunette, green eyes, medium pink lips) Buzzkill simply didn't show up. At all. It lended a bit of sheen to my lips, but that's it.
I passed it on to my mother, and she loves it.
I give this a 3 because, though it wasn't right for me, it's a good product.
I didn't have a problem with the taste, though I could have lived without the dagger on the tube. If you can find a color that suits you, these are good lipsticks.

Buzzkill is described as a 'dark rose' color on UD's website. On me, it's a berry color. The coverage is amazing and it doesn't move - i don't need a lipliner with this. Took one lippie off because of the little sword thingie on the bottom of the tube. It looks cool but i prefer more sleek packaging so that it's more makeup bag-friendly. Also, although the scent isn't bad, it has a bitter taste.

Ok, general thoughts on the UD lipsticks: The website tells you which are full coverage, semi-sheer, and sheer. Trust it. The full coverage colors are well pigmented and a swipe or two will do. The semi-sheers are buildable, but you'll need a few swipes if you want strong color. The sheers are more like a gloss than a lipstick. These lipsticks do have a caramel cream scent, but it goes away pretty fast after use. They also have a slightly bitter odd taste. That doesn't go away as fast, but does eventually. It's not yummy, but if you wear lipgloss on top, or avoid licking your lips, it isn't bad. The wear on the lipsticks is decent and hella good if you put it over one of the matching 24/7 liners. I'm not thrilled with the tube (it's too big for my lipstick holder and I hate the little sword deal), but the design on the cap is pretty.
About this color, Buzzkill, it is berry happiness in a tube. My previous berry love was Clinique Berrilicious, but this has taken its place. It's not dark, but it is clearly berry (not pink, not purple) and is a wonderful day-to-day color. On my neutral/cool skin that sometimes looks like Dawn of the Dead with purple shades, this is nice and lively. I would happily recommend it!
Pictures below - pardon the shaky application
Edited to add: I seem to have developed an allergy to these. When I wear them, my lips feel very tight, slightly swollen, and burn/hurt all day. I have super sensitive skin, so I'm probably just the freak of nature, but it may be something to watch for if you have allergy issues. I haven't reduced the rating on the product because.... it's not the product's fault : ) continued >>

Parents of 145 individuals with a clinical diagnosis of CHARGE syndrome, ages 2 to 39 years, indicated in a survey whether their child had been tested for the CHD7 mutation, which is the only gene presently known to be associated with CHARGE. More than two thirds (68%) of the affected individuals had never been gene tested. Of the 46 who had been tested, 74% tested positive for the mutation. Half (50%) of those who underwent testing did so as a part of a conference blood draw by Baylor College of Medicine in 1999. Children who were tested were significantly younger than those who had not been tested. A second group of 43 parents were informally surveyed at a conference in 2009. More than half of their children had been tested, and nearly 70% were positive for the mutation. Reasons given by these parents for testing included confirming the diagnosis and assisting research. Reasons given for not testing included lack of opportunity, no known benefit, and lack of insurance coverage.

Requested expedited delivery as I ordered late and to my surprise it arrived right on time.
Thanks dancecostumesandjewelry.com for the prompt action.

It reached on time for our Onam funtion. Good quality.
Posted by Subin Sugunan, Exton, Pennsylvania on 13th Aug 2015
We ordered this for our Onam celebrations. I have used paper banana leaf before, back in my home in Kerala. So I knew what I need to order. I have tried frozen leaf that we get in Indian stores, but that may not suit for "ona sadya".
Prompt Delivery.
I ordered On Monday and I received the package on Friday. They shipped it as a USPS priority mail.
Many Amazon sellers takes 3-4 weeks to deliver.
Excellent packing.
I'm only giving 4 starts as few of the leaf were ripped off (I think this happened even before they packed in the shipment box).
I strongly recommend this product and will definitely buy again next year's Onam.

Bought for Vishu, but tried our for family dinner tonight before the actual party on this week-end. Very nice item. Big and convenient. The only thing it doesn't have is the nice smell/flavor of actual banana leaf !!!
Posted by Rams, Aurora, IL on 17th Nov 2012
Bought this for Diwali.
It looked like very thin and had doubts about eating with sambar and rasam in it. So I tried before guests arrived and was perfect. All were amazed with traditional food serving...
Only thing - DO NOT place this on top of wet table. The top has laminate, but not the bottom. The bottom paper appears wet. Functionally no problem though !

Very fast delivery. I got it in two days. Almost 25 cents for one leaf !!! Too expensive compared to paper plate, but served the speciality of ocasion...

When I connect my Galaxy S2 to my laptop using "Kies via Wifi" it doesn't work.
On my phone it tells me it is connected, and on the laptop I can see the device "GT-I9100" under connected devices, but I see no files or anything else.
When I move the mouse icon over the "GT-I9100", it writes "Loading...". I've waited long enough but nothing happens.
When I connect the phone using USB cable, it works perfectly fine.

When this plugin will finally work? It's annoying after so many updates released and still not a workable plugin
When this plugin will finally work? It's annoying after so many updates released and still not a workable plugin
I can't get One Quick Post to work either. I am trying to use it for guest submitted posts. I am using WP 3.0.1 which the latest version (0.13.9) says it is compatible with.
And the Forms creation admin is phenomenally bad.
TDO Forms is pretty bad, but if you can get it to work it is pretty robust. I get permission errors when I try to configure it no matter what permissions I set. I have made it work in earlier versions of WP, but not WP 3.0.1. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tdo-mini-forms/
I would love to find a good plugin for user-submissions that did not expose them to the WordPress backend. I don't think that One Quick Post will be it.
A new version of "One Quick Post" was made available yesterday 10/29/2010:
The forms creation page is still completely incomprehensible, but maybe it will solve the problems you were having. I got a form to show up, but I can't figure out how to modify it.
Does anyone has a ready-made form for this? Or any insight into how to use the Form admin?
problems with One quick post here too :(
where you able to make it work?
I paste the shortcode [oqp_form "default-form"] on a post or page and nothing appears, also not the text. I am using custom community theme.
Any ideas why?
thanks, yani
I gave up on One Quick Post and went with Gravity Forms. Gravity forms costs $39 for a single site license, but it did what my client wanted.
Sorry I can't help you with One Quick Post. I have no recollection of how I got it to make a form show up.
On shortcodes, check to be sure you are in HTML mode when you out that into a post or page, and check on the syntax--does it require double quotes or single around the form name.
Take a look at the support forum for the plugin: http://dev.pellicule.org/bbpress/
Good luck!
Thanks so much for the answer! Those are not very good news.....but I will check it.
I got it to work only inserting the default form, so i was able to use it in one page, but i'm still trying it.
Good luck to you too!
Hey, yes there are good news about One Quick Post.
I've rewritten most of the code...
But I can only work on it on my spare time.
I made a lot of work on it.... really.
I think it will be great; but I will only be able to release it when it will work perfectly.
And you know; once 95% of the work has been done, there still is 50% to do :)
If you are interested, I can send you a dev version. It is working but there are maybe some bugs.
I'm also looking for testers and developpers to help me finish all this.
...And you can make a donation, it will help !
Contact me on my forums !

Released: Oct 01st, 2006
Running Time: 115
Director: Chi Chi LaRue
Company: Rascal
Distribution Companies: Channel 1 Releasing
Cast: Johnny Hazzard, Nick Mazzaro, Derrick Hanson, Adam Young, Cole Ryder, Luca DiCorso, Tyler Riggz, Simon Angel, Tag Adams
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Leather productions are often fashion shows with vanilla action, but in this release the cast ably brings the leather feel to life. In the opener, Tag Adams – mouth taped shut, ankles lashed together – is the captive of muscular Tyler Riggz. As Riggz circles menacingly, Adams looks like he could eat the big dude alive (which he then does, of course). Derrick Hanson and Simon Angel also make sparks fly. When Angel tosses a glance over his shoulder, while bucking his ass on Hanson's long dick, there's a sexy, devilish look on his face that is as erotically charged as anything here. In the finale, Johnny Hazzard makes a big, wet meal of macho Cole Ryder's furry ass, immediately followed by a sling-fuck with Hazzard on top. As usual, Hazzard turns in a thrilling performance, fucking zestily and eliciting a bone-rattling orgasm from Ryder. Oral action is especially good throughout and technical aspects of the production are first-rate.
RETAILING: Excellent performances enhance the leather theme. Hairy stud Cole Ryder turns in a must-see debut.

Got your regards by Isaschar Korn who just arrived back with a big smile from bangkok. my compliments for your web site!
March 9th, 2008
At the beginning of your career, you dressed appropriately to show respect. But at this point you want to have the respect of others, and the first step toward achieving that goal is dressing with authority. Looking the part is obviously not enough when it comes to acquiring power in the workplace you have to earn that but how you present yourself signals more than ever your position and prestige. By now, your seniority has also provided you with the resources to invest in the proper clothing befitting your status. This chapter will present the appropriate suits, shirts, ties, and accessories of the power wardrobe. Acquiring a power wardrobe is not simply about the amount of clothing you have although the more options you have although the more options you have at this stage of your career, the better. What you're after now is quality. Finer materials and better-made clothing are what distinguish the distinguish the distinguished at this level. And when you have truly achieved a certain level of power, the power wardrobe will be incidental: Your own personal style will matter most.
"The power to define the situation is the ultimate power."
Navy wool crepe
Unlike the navy suit you interviewed in, the wool crepe suit has a textured and slightly nubby feel to it. Wool crepe is more twisted than the worsted that most suits are made of, which means that it will wrinkle less. This makes a wool crepe suit ideal for travel. You can wear it no the plane or pack it without the fear of looking like a rumpled mess when you arrive. Like the original interview suit, a navy wool crepe suit goes with just about every shirt-and-tie combination. An overall bulletproof selection. An overall bulletproof selection.
Gray Bird's-Eye
The name of the pattern refers to the minute black-and-white woven design, which actually looks gray. A smart-looking variation on the gray worsted wool suit, the bird's eye has a lot of texture. Keep in mind that although it looks like a solid from far away, up close it is actually a very tiny pattern, so don't mix it with small-patterned shirt and ties.
Single-Breasted Pinstripe
While not as dandyish as the double-breasted version this suit is no less formal. What matters here is the pinstripe: it is the pattern of power. It's also the most slimming design for heavier men the vertical stripes provide the illusion of height and diminish width. When choosing a shirt, beware of stripes that fight with the stripes of the suit. And for an added flourish, try a pocket square or a handkerchief.
Tan Gabardine
Think of it as the navy suit for warm weather. If you live in a cold-weather city, it's ideal for spring and summer; in warm locales it's appropriate all year-round. When pairing shirts and ties with this suit, remember to keep them relatively light. White or light blue shirts will always work, and pale pastels are safe as well. In terms of ties, you can go a bit darker than the shirts, but in general navy or dark green would be the safest.
Double-Breasted Pinstripe
This classic style and pattern adds up to a suit you can take to the bank. Or a lawyer's office. Or an important business meeting. Double-breasted meaning the left side of the jacket buttons on right side is a more dramatic suit cut than single-breasted, providing greater impact.
Attention to Detail
Okay, so you'll never be a designer, but you still like your clothes a certain way shirts that are wider in the chest, collars that are spread extra wide and now you can afford to have them tailored just for you.
A custom-made shirt is unquestionably an extravagance, but it's also a great way to express your sartorial individuality. Typically, from the first fitting |(Where a tailor will take more measurements than you knew you had) to the final product, it takes several weeks to the final produce a custom-made shirt.
While you can expect to pay anywhere from $75 to several hundred dollars for one, the fit will be perfect. Also, the patterns and materials (frequently sea Island of Egyptian cotton) will be superior to ready-made shirts.
For a more sophisticated variation one the button down collar, try hidden snaps.
A custom-made shirt has expert stitching around the collar and placket. Look for 14 or more stitches per inch.
Blazers---a wardrobe of Basics
Like white shirts, khakis, and jeans, can a man really own enough blue blazers? Probably. But the point is, a blazer is so versatile and will get so much use that, after a while, having more than one becomes necessary. How you choose additional jackets depends on your needs: Would you like a line blazer for summer and one in cashmere for winter? How about a double-breasted jacket instead of a single?
Made popular by JFK, the two-button single-breasted jacket has remained an American favorite. It flatters most, since its elongated frontal V shows more shirt, thus lengthening the line of a body.
Traditionally, the double-breasted blazer is navy blue, with six metal buttons, only two of which actually function. Further characteristics are side vents, two flap pockets, a breast pocket, and peaked lapels. For business, metal buttons may be considered too casual. They can be replaced with horn.
A three-button jacket is considered fashionable. Most designers make them so only the top two buttons close, although some men prefer the more classic three, in which the lapel rolls to the second button and the top one remains unbuttoned and hidden behind the lapel.
Shirt &Tie Combinations
As you spend more money on shirts and ties, mix ability becomes essential. Why have a $100 tie if it only goes with one shirt and suit? So, when expanding this area of the wardrobe, thing about all the potential combinations with your existing clothes. Solid ties are particularly versatile, as they go with even the wildest patterned shirt
1. Plaid shirt with spread collar and stripe knit tie.
2. Gingham shirt with solid navy tie.
3. Multistoried shirt with tonal tie.
4. Lavender oxford with small pattern.

Secretary-General's message for the 20th commemoration of the Rwanda Genocide
New York, 7 April 2014
This year marks 20 years since the genocide in Rwanda. Around the world, people are coming together to "Remember, Unite, Renew".
We will always remember the more than 800,000 innocent people so brutally murdered –
as we pay tribute to the bravery and resilience of the survivors.
We draw inspiration from the ability of the Rwandan people to unite and show that reconciliation is possible even after a monumental tragedy.
And we pay tribute to their determination to renew their country and pave the way
to a secure and prosperous future.
I am honoured to be invited to take part in the commemoration and will be in Rwanda
to mark this solemn moment with the people of the country.
I will encourage the people and Government of Rwanda to continue promoting the inclusive spirit needed for healing and reconciliation, and to deepen respect for human rights.
This will set the country firmly on course for a peaceful future and benefit the wider Great Lakes region, which continues to cope with the impact of the genocide.
Together, let us commit to remember, unite and renew for the people of Rwanda and for our actions to prevent genocide around the world.

|"Blackest Night: Titans" #1 on sale now
J.T. Krul, who served as the production coordinator on âSeinfeldâ in its final season before moving full-time into writing comics, has arrived. And thatâs not to slight Krulâs efforts to date. Heâs been writing a majority of the books in Aspen MLTâs âFathomâ franchise for years, and the fact the title is being prepped as a movie project for Megan Fox clearly demonstrates Krul and his publisher have what it takes to deliver epic storytelling. But after contributing a single-issue story in âTitansâ #15 last month, the 36-year old Michigander is now writing âBlackest Night: Titans,â a three-issue miniseries that ties directly into the Geoff Johns-driven blockbuster event from DC Comics, âBlackest Night.â
Couple with that with the fact Krul has been announced as the writer for the November issues of both âTitansâ and âTeen Titans,â his star at DC Comics is clearly on the rise.
Krul told CBR News that âTitansâ is one of the major DC properties, but the real reason the title ties-in so perfectly with âBlackest Nightâ is because, he said, âin doing a story about the death of heroes and their horrific return to haunt the living, there is no shortage of dead Titans.â
The story that is being explored in âBlackest Night: Titansâ spins directly out of a scene from âBlackest Nightâ #1, confirmed the writer. âAs the Titans take some much deserved and needed downtime from their usual adventures, they experience a homecoming as fallen Titans literally return to Titans Tower,â teased Krul. âThat giant T-shaped building perched on the bluff has always been a powerful symbol and it serves as a magnet for trouble. No surprise, the story is about death and loss and the extent to which our heroes are able to cope with their own situations.
âFrom the covers released, you know that Terra is one of the Black Lanterns to return, which digs up all kinds of emotions in Gar. Donna has her lost family to deal with. And, Dawn is caught in the middle as the original Hawk â Hank Hall â returns and is not too happy about seeing someone else wearing his costume.
âItâs a very dark and violent story as the Titans struggle to understand the chaos that is thrust upon them.â
|In-progress art from "Blackest Night: Titans" #1
With Krul utilizing cover art as signposts, the one cover that has been haunting fans of the Titans since its release back in May is âBlackest Night: Titansâ #1, which features a very gaunt Terra smacking a wet (some would say pustular) one right on Garâs lips. Asked if Terra and Garâs relationship could somehow survive her Nekron-induced zombiefication, Krul offered, âFor good or bad, Gar loved Terra. I think we have all fallen for someone in our lives who we knew was trouble, but we fell anyway. Garâs had many crushes and has always been something of a flirt, but in many ways, Terra was his first true love. And, true love can survive just about anything... just about.â
In âTitansâ #15, Krul prominently featured Tempest â the superhero formerly known as Aquamanâs sidekick Aqualad â who had been more or less absent from the DC Universe proper since the One Year Later initiative of 2006. But in âBlackest Nightâ #2, Tempest is killed by Black Lantern Aquaman while visiting his mentorâs grave, and was then immediately resurrected as a Black Lantern himself. Krul said heâs enjoyed handling Tempestâs return and the character will definitely be a part of âBlackest Nightâ moving forward.
Sticking with the Atlanteans for a moment and what with Krulâs history writing undersea adventures in âFathom,â CBR News posed the question if he might be writing more Aquaman, perhaps even an ongoing series, coming out of âBlackest Night.â Aquaman was a pillar of the DC Universe and a great character. Too bad heâs dead,â Krul deadpanned.
|In-progress art from "Blackest Night: Titans" #1
As part of his work on âBlackest Night: Titans,â Krulâs had several meetings with Geoff Johns, the architect of the DCU-spanning event series. âIn a way, this whole thing, including âBlackest Night: Titans,â is his baby,â explained Krul, who like Johns attended film school at Michigan State. âIt all springs out of his main story, and heâs been heavily involved in all aspects of the âBlackest Nightâ stories. Plus, weâve known each other for years now, and this is the first chance weâve had to work together. Itâs made the experience even more special to collaborate with such a good friend.â
Krul said collaborating with a talent like artist Ed Benes makes the project pretty special too. âAs the pages and the layout come in, itâs such a great way to start my day,â said Krul. âWaking up to an email with another glimpse of what Ed is doing. Heâs one of the powerhouses in the industry and the pages donât lie. All around, I couldnât ask for a better team to work with for this project.â
Or a better situation. By writing a miniseries so closely tied to a mega event, thereâs no doubt readers will be seeing a lot more of Krul in the very near future. âI am talking with DC about other projects, but nothing to announce yet,â said Krul. âHopefully sooner than later, Iâll be able to share more.â
âBlackest Night: Titansâ #1 goes on sale August 26 from DC Comics. That same day, Krul will be signing at The Comic Bug from 11:00a.m. to 2:00p.m. and Collectorâs Paradise from 5:00 to 8:00p.m.

When it comes to looking forward to what Marvel has to offer, the logical person focuses his or her attentions on Iron Man 3 or Thor: The Dark World, or any of the studio's other exciting upcoming projects. I'm looking toward 2015. I'm not fussed about how Thor will deal with his Dark Elves, how Iron Man will bring down the Mandarin, or how the Guardians of the Galaxy will... guard...the galaxy. What I'm really interested in is WHEN THEY ALL TEAM UP AND FIGHT THANOS! That's right folks, in 2015 a sequel to 2012's most funtacular movie will hit theaters, and when it does shit will get real.
Specifically? Spider-shit. My prediction: Spider-man will appear in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron. I boldly proclaimed that The Avengers would feature more than a Spider-cameo thanks to the ostensibly rock solid evidence of Jenny Agutter shooting her mouth off during production. She revealed the information in what appeared to be a charmingly ignorant fashion: by talking about how nice it was to see all The Avengers trailers on set. Spider-Man apparently had a trailer. The next time texts me with a scoop from the set of her movies, I'll be sure to ignore it. Muchos embarrassment. Thanks Jenny.
However, this time I feel the evidence is far more concrete. Obviously it's not as good as a cast member saying she's spotted the webslinger on set, but it's still good enough to facilitate some lofty expectations. We already know that War Machine will appear in Avengers 2, but aside from the obvious galactic guardians we've had no information from the studio regarding who will stand in the line up.
The first thing that led me to believe that this could become a reality was the seemingly innocent photo of (that's Mr. Spider-Man to you) carrying a seemingly innocent bundle of comics for some seemingly innocent home reading. Except they were Avengers comics. And, coincidences don't happen in Hollywood, only contracts. Where in any other town an actor taking some comics home could mean he plans to spend a lonely evening ignoring his girlfriend (...and who ignores ?), in Hollywood it means marketing or research. This stunt was probably a bit of both. Check out the photo here.
Next up is the glowing review of The Avengers supplied by one Andrew Garfield. It appears the young actor managed to see the movie a little earlier than everyone else and had one question on his lips. Why wasn't he in it? Garfield even requests Nick Fury give him a shout should he need The Avengers to assemble again.
But by far the piece of evidence that gives me the most hope that this fan's fiction could become a reality comes from the highest possible source. Marvel head honcho: . Arad has said Spider-Man CAN and SHOULD join The Avengers in their next skirmish, as it would be profitable for both Sony and Marvel in equal measure. This is by no means a done deal or even an undone deal, but it does at least let us know that the guy with the power has it on his mind.
Finally, despite being unable to link to a source (so you'll have to take my word for it), I recall a deal that almost made it to the screen. Sources say that Sony and Marvel HAD in fact been in talks to feature a spidey-'vengers crossover. Not one that would have fans screaming in delight, but one that might have spelled good news for the future. The word was that Sony were very keen to have their newly built and soon to be iconic Oscorp Tower featured on New York's skyline during the Chitauri invasion. The event never came to pass for whatever reason, but it certainly confirmed more than a few suspicions I had that these studios were not rivals. Not enemies. It became possible that they were friends. Unlike Fox who hold onto the X-Men franchise with a grip ironically similar to Hulk's, Sony has been vocal about their support of The Avengers, their delight at consulting with Marvel on Spider-Man, and their continued attempts to bridge the gap. 2015 could be the year it happens.
Lets face it, this needs to happen, and it probably will. The studios made SO much money with The Avengers, it surpassed all expectations and box office records for a movie of its type. Why was that? Well, it turns out audiences love seeing people they recognize from other movies appear in...other movies. Look at how rejuvenated a franchise by uttering one line in Fast 3. Marvel pulled off a similar trick with The Avengers; the only way to top that is go bigger. I'm not talking about more battles and explosions, I'm talking about including a character that has been in moviegoer's minds a lot longer than any of The Avengers. A character who's inclusion would guarantee box office bigger than Titanic or Avatar, because who doesn't love Spider-Man?
There's only one way to top The Avengers. You know it, I know it, and hopefully Marvel and Sony know it too. Lets make 2015 the greatest year for superheroes ever.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The maker of the blockbuster mobile game "Candy Crush Saga" will attempt to raise as much as $500 million in an initial public offering.
King Digital Entertainment PLC, which also makes the game "Pet Rescue Saga," did not disclose how many shares are expected in the IPO or the projected price range.
In a regulatory filing Tuesday, King said the IPO will include shares offered by the company as well as those offered by existing stockholders.
The Irish company plans to use proceeds from the sale for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions. It won't receive any proceeds from shares offered by the selling stockholders.
The company plans to list the stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the "KING" ticker symbol.

Impact of Provider Choice on Workers' Compensation Costs and Outcomes
Using survey data collected in 2002 and 2003 in California, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Texas on workers injured 3 to 3.5 years earlier, coupled with information on the associated workers' compensation claims from the Workers Compensation Research Institute, the authors examine how provider choice in workers' compensation is related to costs and to workers' outcomes. They find that employee choice of the provider, by comparison with employer choice, was associated with higher costs and worse returnto- work outcomes. Although the same rate of physical recovery was found for both groups, workers who chose their providers reported higher satisfaction with medical care. The higher costs and worse return-to-work outcomes associated with employee choice arose largely when employees selected a new provider, rather than a provider with whom they had a pre-existing relationship. The findings lend some support to recent policy changes limiting workers' ability to choose a provider with whom they do not have a prior relationship.

at first i thought i had a superb phone that could do wonders,but now i feel like crying because the application i really want the most is not even opening. The charging point is bad and also i have to take the stress of charging my battery with an external battery charger which has been purchased by me over four times just in search of the original. This phone is crap.
Bro, this is not Android!! Before you buy it from those falthu Indian shopping websites, remember that if it is from an American carrier like at&t, the 3G will NOT work in India. India and Europe uses 2100Mhz for 3G.

This phone is crap after a couple months the battery wont charge for like 5 days so you need to leave it on the charger. This phone need to be recalled asap, for no one buys this P.O.S.
please remeber to save to SIMS and send your pictures elsewhere from time to time. Because WHEN your phone shuts dowm in 5 months (and it will) you will have nothing if you dont save to SImS or put your precious pictures clips songs etc in another place besides your phone. no screen, sorry they cant retrieve ANYTHING.

Enjoyed the phone and durable as far as I'm concerned. The camera takes great photos, especially look good when they are uploaded to FaceBook. The problem is about 7 months after the purchase, the battery will not charge anymore unless you mess with it for an hour or two!
This phone was amazing at first i got in in march and in august it started messing up the scroll button stopped working then the call button and the select button then when i slide up my phone the light dosen't come on so i can't text or see who i'm calling.

Re: Luv button from Citi Appeared Today
I just called to speak with a Rep regarding a CLI ...I've had my Hilton Honors card for a year now and never had an increase. I talked to a very rude Lady who told me that they always check credit when a CLi is requested I was like wow I know of people (my aunts) who never get their credit checked when they recieve an increase..Then she goes on about how she's been there for over 20 years and this always happen. hmmm. My attitude and tone was very pleasant and she was still rude--I didn't want her to proceed so I'm gonna ride with what I have.

Space. The final front ear. Home of paranoid robots named HAL, space stations that ain't no moons, cats and David Bowie. Recently whisky has also been crowbarred into this list with alarming regularity. So much so, that I thought it was time to take another look at it all.
You see, having inexplicably found myself in Disneyland Paris for a few days back in August, during which time I naturally took up residence on Space Mountain, I now quite reasonably consider myself to be the office expert when it comes to all things space.

Hello again and welcome to another edition of Around the World in 80 Drams, the blog series where I travel the world heading east tasting 80 different tasty treats. Well, sort of. This week we're actually just a touch more west than when we started! It's a windy route we're taking for sure, but we're tasting excellent spirits all around the world, which more than makes up for it.
I left you with a hint last week, mentioning Emperors of the French with distinctive headgear, so of course I'm talking about Napoleon Bonaparte and Courvoisier Cognac! I also said it would take about 5 hours to travel the 240 miles south from Domaine Dupont to Château Courvoisier via a flock of seagulls (not the band - though their haircuts did look quite aerodynamic back in the day).

Ah yes, it's that time of year once again when Drinks by the Dram reveal their selection of fantastic spirits-filled advent calendars!
The Entire Range is Now Available for Pre-Order here. (Estimated despatch late October.)
As well as all your favourites such as The Whisky Advent Calendar and Ginvent Calendar (from the dream team of Drinks by the Dram and Gin Foundry), which are both back for a fourth year, 2015 sees the range extended with a dedicated Bourbon Calendar plus Rum, Cognac, Armagnac, Tequila, Mezcal, Vodka, Absinthe and erm... Naga Chilli Vodka calendars (the latter getting hotter each day!)

There's a new release in the Master of Malt Single Cask Series charts, and the artist isn't even Scottish! In fact, it's not even whisky. (We do have some more Single Cask whiskies on the way shortly though... and not necessarily all from Scotland...) Extending the range into different spirit types entirely, we're delighted to present our very first independent bottling of Armagnac!

The first George Berry was born in 1787 and, at the impressionable age of 16, made the two-day journey from Exeter to London, in which city he remained. He would become an extremely successful merchant, maintaining a clear focus on wine and spirits – a tradition continued by his sons George Jr. and Henry – the original "Berry Brothers" who took the helm in 1845.
Berry's young life was not without event. In 1838, he signed up as a special constable during the Chartist riots, alongside his friend, the future Napoleon III. Years later, whilst in exile in London, Napoleon used the very cellars at No. 3 to hold secret meetings. Two storeys below terra, the marvellous stone-walled chamber bears his name, and is home to a collection of ancient bottles from centuries ago, back when a member of the gentry would have his own glass bottle stamped with his seal. The sealed bottles would be taken to No.3 to be filled with wine or spirit, and returned when they were empty. Napoleon's own bottle still stands in one corner.

For the first time ever, one of France's big Cognac houses has started putting age statements on its products. Courvoisier have begun labelling Cognacs just like we do in the whisky industry, where the number reflects the age of the youngest spirit in the bottle.
The new age statement releases give a real insight into Cognac, and it's particularly interesting that Courvoisier should take this route, as the previous designations were very vague indeed. In fact, if you were to ask the average spirits drinker what the difference between a More...

This paper deals with the paradoxical properties of the solution of string vibration under a moving mass. The solutions published to date are not simple enough and cannot be applied to investigations in the entire range of mass speeds, including the overcritical range. We propose a formulation of the problem that allows us to reduce the problem to a second-order matrix differential equation. Its solution is characteristic of all features of the critical, subcritical, and overcritical motion. Results exhibit discontinuity of the mass trajectory at the end support point, which has not been previously reported in the literature. The closed solution in the case of a massless string is analyzed and the discontinuity is proved. Numerical results obtained for an inertial string demonstrate similar features. Small vibrations are analyzed, which is why the effect discussed in the paper is of purely mathematical interest. However, the phenomenon results in complexity in discrete solutions.

« Headline in today's Seattle P-... | Because You Don't Want The Cat... »
It does look rather springy out today! Bye-bye winter, can't say I'll miss the record non-stop rain of Dec/Jan!
I HATE the fake NW season changes...the only one I know to be true is the fall to winter. odds are, for our "spring," we'll have another three months of rain and cold. So, all this talk of spring...it's false hope, and worse we'll get ONE frustrating day in April where it's sunny and 65f then back to LAME. (sigh) I hope I'm wrong. really. I hate having to wait for July 15th, the true NW start of spring/summer...
spring is but an intermission on the way to summer, and the Fremont Solstice Parade.
C'mon, cynics. Everybody knows that we'll get six delicious days like this in March (none on a weekend), and then four more in May, and the rest will be rain, rain, rain until the 5th of July.
Where the fuck is my global warming? Can a cracker get a 45 degree night over here? I wanna turn off my heater without sleeping in a chilly bedroom. My apartment conducts cold.

On February 4, the Congressional Budget Office released new long-term economic projections.
