It has been really hard to get out of bed to go to the gym this week. I don't know why, but I do it anyway after hitting the snooze button a couple of times. I increased the cardio intensity this morning. It was a very hard 20 minutes....... Using the stair climber after leg day is killing me! My gym will be closed tomorrow and all weekend, so I'll either go do my UBWO tonight, or workout at home tomorrow. Either way I will get it done.
Laurie- Just keep going forward and I promise the results will come. Glad to know you'll be there for C2!
Melissa- I'm thinking of changing the diet up a little. Maybe no carbs after lunch or something. I really only need the carbs right after workouts to replace glycogen in the muscles anyway. The rest of the day I'm pretty much sitting at a desk. I'm with you on the cardio. My 10s mean if I go another few steps when the time is up I think I'll die. I'm sucking air like crazy!
Hrdhat- Hope your son is feeling better. How old is he? I have a 6yr old daughter and a 9 month old son, so I know what it's like to have to doctor sick kiddos. I love autocorrect! It gives me some really good laughs. You can turn it off in the settings menu if it is bothering you though.
Kat- Congrats on the awesome workout! Now everytime you face the "brick wall" just imagine someone on the other side said Kool-Aid and bust right on through. www.youtube.com/watch
Justin- I have a little girl she will be 4 Monday :) I'm not sure it is as much auto correct as i have a problem typing on the ipad and often miss the space bar so i read it back and have long weird words with letters instead of spaces lol Fat fingers i guess.
my smith machine.

week 10
some progress a ways to go though :)
HOLY COW!!!! A. Bad ass workout room, and B. Hot guys in our group!! Impressive results you're getting there!!! Keep up the good work.
DAY 67 - Body for LIFE Journal daily Lesson-for-LIFE:
"The more we follow our hearts, the more success we experience." I have a puppy named T-Rex. He is a little Yorkshire Terrier. He has so much postive energy. He is so happy. His Life is very simple. He wakes up, eats, plays, eat, sleeps, and plays. He is open, affectionate, and loving with everyone he meets. He's perfect just the way he is because he follows his instincts. I love that about animals. And although human beings have been blessed, and "cursed", with minds that are much more complicated, I can't help but notice that the more we do what comes naturally - the more we follow our hearts, our instincts, our intuitions - the more Success we experience, the more aligned and balanced we become. We're more peaceful, healthier and happier. As you continue on with this process, I encourage you to pay attention to that inner voice, that instinct, and follow it. ~Bill Phillips~
Hrdhat- You're doing great, and that is a really nice workout room. Looks like your upper pecs are filling out a lot and your midsection is getting a lot leaner. I've been browsing a lot of pics on the forum, and have found the secret to knowing when we have reached optimal bodyfat levels. It seems that when we get ripped all of our chest hair magically dissapears!! I hope your daughter has a great birthday! They're so fun at that age.
Almost to the Finish Line Gladiators! ;)
Justin - Dude that we checked out that just finished (think David and Melissa, you both saw/commented on his thread too) - Anyways, he said that he was having the hardest time during weeks 9 and 10, and then he totally re-engaged and kicked butt in weeks 11 and 12! And he had awesum results! So maybe this "lagging feeling" that we are all experiencing at the moment is again just part of the process, and by Monday we will all feel like Super Heroes again! But good for you that you keep on goin - that's usually the hard part - just getting yourself there! So big props - and thanks for the video link ;) Hahahh
Sharon - Lol. That's exactly what I do when I know I'm in a mood; I just quietly "put myself away" and then come back out of my cave when I feel better. It works! Love you Muah
HrdHat77 - Meeeooooowwww!!! Lookin awesum, can def see a difference, especially in the profile pic. Niiiice job!!!
Btw - I've been reading a lot of posts from past BFLer's and they said that there are no words to describe the Incredible feeling that comes right at Day 84 - when they actually cross the Finish Line!!! So no matter what you may be "feeling" today or tomorrow, just know that there is a huge benchmark Life Breakthrough just a couple weeks away!!!
Also I've been hyper-aware of my thoughts and actions recently (or sometimes lack there-of) and I have noticed that since I decided to commit to a second 12-week round (C2), I have kinda taken my foot off the gas pedal. Not sure if anyone else has been letting themselves "off the hook" at times, knowing that another Challenge is coming up??? I think because I am so far off from achieving my original 12 week goals, I am still going through the motions of completing this (C1), however my intensity and focus has really diminished.
So instead of just coasting through the next 16 days, I am going to mentally re-commit and re-engage into still making THIS CHALLENGE Champion worthy!!! A lot can still happen in the next few weeks Gladiators, so time to turn up the heat!!! Develope the Intensity and Focus skillsets right NOW, so that we will ALL still be on fire going into the next round - not having to re-light...
COMMITMENT is doing what you SAY you WILL DO, long after the mood that you said it in has passed!
Lots of LOVE Team xoxo Kat
Justin--I live in Brentwood. Not sure if you know where that is? It is off Hwy 40/64 at Brentwood Blvd. It's by the Galleria, if you know what that is.
HrdHat--Great progress pictures and great workout set up you have!
I agree with Melissa...we have some hot guys in our group!
Kat--I am with you. I need to not coast over the next few weeks and finish strong!
Keep up the great work everyone!
Happy Friday Gladiators!
Sun is shining, birds are singing, workout is complete, and my girls are both in town. Great start to a great weekend. I am the only one that has to work today so it'll be really nice for my husband to hang out with his two girls for the day. The girls rarely see each other and they are so very different that their relationship has been strained. I am hoping that will get better with the youngest now living close to us. Our oldest visits frequently since she is just 6.5 hours away.
Speaking of daughters, my youngest is doing awesome! They love her at work and she seems geniunely happy. She is upbeat and positive and sports a huge smile on her face. I haven't seen her like this is a decade. She found some furniture on Craigslist that was free (Kat -THANK YOU for your generous offer!!!!) so their apartment is starting to look like home. I am hopeful that this was the hand up that she needed and hopefully she is turning her life around permanently. So far so good!
Justin - I seriously laughed out loud while reading your post. Love the realization that when you reach your optimal body fat levels that your "love rug (ie chest hairs)" magically fall out. Hilarious!!!! Such a great sense of humor :-) Hey Kool-Aid...
Bart - awesome progress! You should definitely be way proud of yourself. I am so impressed with everyone on our little team here.
Laurie, Melissa, Amy, Kat - finish strong ladies! Yes, we are doing round two but that doesn't give you permission to slack off. I'll come kick your butts if you just coast through to the end. Hahahah - just kidding of course. Although, it that would help motivate you, I'll do just that ;-)
Hang tough team and "get er done"!!!!
For C2 - What do you guys think about starting a new thread for that? Maybe a new name? Something with the word Gladiators in the title? Kat - you're the master with words and amazingly creative. Anything come to mind?
I hope the Easter Bunny is good to you all and comes bearing Myoplex Shakes and hard boiled eggs. None of that nasty brown sweet stuff that is definitely responsible for some of my "fluffiness"
Happy Easter!
Check out the Easter Bunny shredding it in the gym! Go get em bunny...
Way to go Easter bunny , pull that rowing machine!!!
LOL!!! Those pics really made my day, thanks Sharon!
Having another down one. It's funny how you can be so up at one point and so down at another so close together. I really think women have it rougher with all the hormonal changes increasing water retention and such. I do my scale once a week mainly for sparkpeople to keep up with that, but I was disheartened to see it go back up this week, and my tummy is all bloaty. I know that's stupid, and day-to-day changes aren't as important as the long haul. But last week at week 9, I saw so much change that I thought everything was going to be accelerated and really coming off this week. I honestly expected to 5 lbs lighter this week based on the rate I was going. That's incredibly unrealistic, but there you are. We're irrational beings...me more than most, especially today. Still, I think it's important to track the ups and the downs so that others can see how the everything veers on a normal basis. That's me trying to turn the negative into a positive like Kat and Sharon always do. See, I'm growing :).
Sharon, you will be pleased to know that I have not slacked up an ounce. I had beers on Sunday and I usually don't drink, but calorie-for-calorie, I didn't take in any more than a usual Sunday free-day. Maybe the lack of food-based calories made my body address them differently. I have been maybe a few glasses shorter on water than usual, but since I usually have 14 or 15, I'm still within the water range. I average 1300 calories per day; sometimes 1100, sometimes 1350, and only 2 days around 1500 the whole program (with exception of Sunday). That's with my 5 meals per day (I can never fit in the 6th, and thank the lord because I would be heavier still).
One of my problems is that I have to take my thryoid in the morning on an empty stomach, but then I'm supposed to wait an hour before I eat because it interferes with the medication. I really think it would help me if I could eat within a half hour of getting up. Incidentally, my crappy doctor forgot all about looking into something to help me balance the metabolism trouble with my medication. I had hopes that she would have listened, as she swore she was, "I hear what you are saying, and when your bloodwork comes back, we'll see about what we can do to help with your weight loss." Yet, I got the same call I always do, and have since I was a kid "your bloodwork came back great, and we're not going to change anything." That's from a girl just making calls, not my doctor, or I would have pressed her to look further into it. I'm changing doctors. I need someone who's willing to help with quality of life and not just do what the book says to do. They all know that blood tests are not a true representation of the problems someone with nodules and enlarged thyroid has. It's in all the journals. Yet, they still are slaves to the stupid blood test. There comes a time when you DO have to treat symptoms AS WELL AS underlying problems. I'm very angry, as you can see. Plus, I don't see the doctor anymore when I go, I see their "nurse practitioner". I just read in several journals how levothryroxin can cause heart arrhythmia and he literally argued with me that it "absolutely can't be the medication or my thyroid." Huh? He had no answer when I asked him why he takes that position and what his support was for his position. I work in a medical practice. I really don't like to be treated like I don't know what I'm talking about or like I don't know how to properly research things. I pissed the guy off just trying to look after my own health, which they should be doing FOR me. If I didn't have to do it myself, I wouldn't.
All my negatives are weighing on me, as they do when you start down that road, but I won't indulge that kind of thinking here. I'm sure all will be rosy again come Monday morning. I'm doing everything I possibly can to do things right, and that has to be enough since there's nothing else we can really do.
Thanks for letting me vent, guys. It help me to keep going. I owe you all!
New thread name ideas:
Gladiators - Back in the Arena for C2
Hi Team -
Hahah Sharon, no kidding that's exactly what I had in mind. Simple and to the point and exactly what we are all about!!! I'll probably keep checking in with everyone during the "2 week" break on this thread, just to stay in the habit of loggin on here and seein how everyone is doing, but if you don't mind starting that new thread maybe the weekend prior to April 29th that would be awesome!!!
So funny, after "re-commiting" to myself yesterday to finish this Challenge (C1) strong, I woke up looking really skinny today!!! I don't have a scale, but I would say that some weight has definitely come off cuz I look really different to myself (almost took my weekly progress pic this morning just in case it decides to come back by Sunday lol)
Melissa - I know all to well the emotional swings (between content, happy, depressed, anxious, and everything in between...) so I feel for you GF. Been dealing with it since I was about 18, that's when my thyroid issues really started to flare so I'm sure there is a def connection, because I find myself waking up depressed even when everything in LIFE is GREAT! I truly believe that it is almost 100% chemical, the trick is to do something, anything to "flip the switch". Actually Bi-lateral body movement is supposedly hugely helpful in re-programming the brain and enhancing mood. Also, I have read soooo many other posts from other Competitors that doing this Challenge and all the changes that come with it just seem to trigger depression for some reason. IDK - hopefully knowing that you're NOT ALONE helps ;) xo
Amy - Saweet!!! Let's rock this all the way to day 84!! xo
Off to the gym to do my Lower Body workout - Lots of LIGHT and LOVE and Happy Easter Weekend xoxo Kat

Hollywood's newest "Jesus film," The Nativity Story, is based on the true account of Jesus' birth. But it's also fiction. Viewers meet a devout virgin who suddenly finds herself "with child" and a hard working Jewish tradesman who discovers that he's engaged to a pregnant girl whose body he has revered and reserved for a time yet to come. Wholesome family entertainment? We expect so, but check our website and read Luke 2 just before (or after) viewing. Appreciate the good, but discern and discuss those things that are not true, as should be our normal course.
For additional information about this film and its accuracy, see A Review of The Nativity Story.

this is a very nice set of deep well sockets for the guy,or gal that likes to work on their own car. you don't to carry a whole set of sockets to where you are working to take the wheels off of your vehicle. this set has the ones that are the most common. they are very nice to have in anyones tool box
San Jose, CA
via sears.com
Great Idea! I didn't need a full impact set, just for wheel lug nuts. Craftsman had just what I needed, 1/2" drive, in both inch and metric sizes, and deep socket design as a plus. And the price was just right! I am very happy with this set and would recommend it to anyone who uses an impact wrench with their compressor to change/rotate their tires.
Groton, CT
via sears.com
via sears.com
This is a nice small set of mixed metric/SAE deep impact sockets for a cheap price. The sockets feel heavy and sturdy like any impact socket should. Each socket has the size stamped on it, but it would be nice if they painted this in also so it would be easier to grab the right size out of a drawer.
Roxbury Crossing, MA

Used this on Toyota Camry SE with Sears 8 amp impact wrench. Was on sale for $16.99 on line. Difficult to remove the socket after done, it is too tight. Popular sizes, 3 SAE, 3 Metric and 1 extender. Only used once to remove 2 tires, see to be well made.
Alden, NY
via sears.com
Nice set of the most popular sizes for changing tires & such, at a reasonable price. I had a cheap no name socket split on me. The lifetime warranty on these is a nice perk.

Ultimate Relaxation

Tourists who are traveling with children will find these amenities extremely enjoyable. Taking a ride along the Maohe River on a speedboat or on a luxury yacht to enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding area is also a great option.

Very large with lots of trees, lawns and activities. Lots of couples come here to shoot their wedding photographs. There is a stadium near the east gate where you can play bal games.

Chaoyang Park is more like fun fair than a park. There is a bunch of attractions, you can go boating on the lake, or just have a ice-cream in the sun, but if you expect the green and calm of a regular park you will be disappointed. It is a large place though, and I have only seen parts of it, but still it seems to have more to do with family fun than anything else. But as such it is probably worth a visit.

This happens regardless of attachment. It is the nature of mind. At its base it is void. ….. And because sentient beings are always popping up in this timeless primordial soup, there are always buddhas there too, present in their own minds. The buddhas in their minds are not reborn, the I in them is reborn. Every moment grasping repeats is rebirth. Every moment grasping doesn't is nirvana.
If "sentient beings are always popping up in this timeless primordial soup", then samsara is indeed endless, since at any one time, there will always be new sentient beings arising. It also means that it is not possible to know the number of sentient beings.
Any sutras/tantras supporting the above idea?

A COMBINATION of incoming SMSes on a Jetstar captain's mobile phone and a fatigued co-pilot nearly led to disaster at Changi airport.
The pilots, who together have over 17,000 hours of flying experience, had neglected to bring down the landing wheel as they attempted to land.
This shocking incident was detailed in a report released by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) on Thursday.
The incident happened on May 27, 2010 at about 7pm.
Flight JQ57 was just 120m above the ground when the pilots aborted the landing.
So it is OK to send and receive SMS in the cockpit while the plane is flying??
They are ordering all PAYING passengers not to do this and that but they themselves are not following what they ordered and GETTING PAID!!!
The police should jail these two clowns for 5 years or more so that all other pilots behave themselves while they are flying the plane!

Can't tell for sure, but code requirements of today probably wouldn't allow that valve set or arrangement. Code wants an air gap between the bottom of the spout and the flood rim of the sink, and if the thing got clogged, you probably wouldn't have the required minimum gap. As a result, I'm not sure you'd find a replacement.
We have some long-time plumbers here...one of them may have some good news and suggestions.

Just coming back to this thread after a loooong absence. Some of you remember my dog . Anyway, I never quite liked any of the settings posted in the first 20 or so pages so I've been using Cinema with some tweaks. I just tried csamos's settings on my 47LD520 and they are really good (link to original, i'm using his updated ones which increased brightness and contrast but I can't find them: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showp...postcount=2876). I'm going to try some of the other 520 users settings as well as play with the AVS HD 709 and I'll post results + my TV info from 11111. Big thanks to csamos, Phase, and everyone else!

Through the power of philanthropy, you help make a dramatic and lasting impact on the children who need our specialized care.
Planned giving at Children's Hospital enables you to combine your philanthropic desires with your financial needs. These methods of giving can provide significant income and tax-saving benefits.
To read stories of donors who are leaving legacies through planned giving, visit our Legacy Giving page.
Friends who establish a planned gift with CHKD are members of the Beth Duke Legacy Society. These are donors who have, through their actions, agreed to make it "all about the children," the motivation of Beth Duke throughout her 45-year career at CHKD. During her tenure, she inspired the generosity of thousands and brought hope and healing to millions of children. This group, through their estate plans, ensures the hospital's ability to provide the best care for children both now and in the future.
are easy and simple to create, even if you already have a will. At your request, your attorney can include the necessary language in your will, add a codicil to your will, or help you establish a revocable living trust.
Learn more here.
Charitable Remainder Trusts allow you to place assets into a
trust which will then pay you income for up to 20 years, or until the death of
the last beneficiary. When the term of the trust ends, the remaining balance is
considered a gift to Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters. Use our Legacy Planning Gift Calculator to see how this will work for you. Many tax
benefits and life income options are available for donors who establish a
charitable trust.
Learn more here.
Charitable Gift Annuities are gifts for the future that bring you benefits today. A simple agreement between you and Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters provides a fixed, life-long income in exchange for a gift to the hospital. The annual income you receive is based on your age and will never change. The older you are, the higher the income payment. At the time of your death, the remainder of your annuity will help ensure healthy futures for children cared for at CHKD. Use our Legacy Planning Gift Calculator to see how this will work for you. Charitable gift annuities can be funded with cash, appreciated stocks, mutual funds or bonds. An income tax charitable deduction may be taken upon establishing a charitable gift annuity.
Learn more here.
Retained Life Estate is a way to make a significant gift to Children's Hospital
of The King's Daughters
without compromising your lifestyle. When you give a remainder interest in your
home to the hospital, you retain the right to live in the house. You receive an
income tax deduction for the present value of the remainder interest in the
home, as well as a reduction in estate taxes. Use our Legacy Planning Gift Calculator to see how this will work for you. This opportunity allows you to
make a gift that will impact CHKD's future work while providing you immediate
financial benefits without a change in your lifestyle. Learn more here.
Individual Retirement Accounts are often taxed significantly when distributed at
the end of your lifetime. An easy way to donate to CHKD, with tax advantages to
your estate, is to name CHKD as a beneficiary of a portion or all of a qualified
retirement plan. A charitable gift of an IRA or qualified retirement plan at the
end of your lifetime lets you reduce or eliminate estate and income taxes while
supporting CHKD and its mission. Learn more here.
Life Insurance policies can be used to fund a gift to Children's
Hospital of The King's Daughters.
Whether you donate an existing policy or take out a new policy with CHKD as the
owner and beneficiary, you can make a meaningful gift to CHKD and receive tax
benefits. Learn more here.
Endowment Funds create lasting financial resources for Children's Hospital
of The King's Daughters.
Endowments can be directed to specific programs such as cancer, child abuse, or
nursing scholarships, or can be established to support overall patient care.
CHKD carefully manages our endowment, creating a lasting and perpetual gift.
Income earned on endowment funds is used to support the programs named by the
donor and enhance the quality of CHKD's care, allowing us to plan for the future
with strength and security. Learn more here.
Other Planned Giving options are available. Making CHKD the beneficiary of a
financial account (such as a checking account or a brokerage account) or
donating a gift of real estate or personal property can be easy ways for you to
help CHKD fulfill our mission in the future. Learn more here.

Cardinals fire GM Rod Graves
After a promising 4-0 start, the Arizona Cardinals finished 5-11 in 2012, prompting changes in the organization.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the team fired general manager Rod Graves Monday.
Cardinals Gm Rod Graves fired.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 31, 2012
Graves has been with the Cardinals organization since 1997 and has held the post of general manager since 2003 when he replaced Bob Ferguson.
Graves was one of six African American general managers in the league before his departure.
This season, the Cardinals became the first team in NFL history to start a season 4-0 and finish 5-11.
Numerous reports indicate that Steve Keim, the Cardinals' vice president of player personnel, is a strong candidate to take over the GM post. Keim has been rumored for other general manager openings, including Cleveland, where the Browns fired Tom Heckert Monday morning.

Coq au Vin is a blogging engine written in Chicken Scheme. It is designed to appeal to users who have basic Web development skills (i.e., who know HTML and CSS), are able to install their own server-side software, and would rather edit a template than press 105 buttons to customize their sites.
GLAME (GNU/Linux Audio Mechanics) is meant to be the GIMP of audio processing. It is designed to be a powerful, fast, stable, and easily extensible sound editor for Linux and compatible systems. It has full support for non-destructive editing including undo/redo and applying LADSPA effects. Its supported platforms are Linux, BSD, IRIX, and OS X. It uses guile and libxml, and the GNOME libs available is highly recommended. MP3 and Ogg files can be processed if libmad and libvorbisfile are installed.
STklos is a free Scheme System conforming to R5RS. The implementation is based on an ad-hoc Virtual Machine. It can also be compiled as a library, so that one can easily embed it in an application. Its features include an efficient and powerful object system based on CLOS, a simple-to-use module system, implementation of the full tower of numbers defined in R5RS, and easy connection to the GTK+ toolkit. STklos is the successor of STk, a Scheme interpreter tightly connected to the Tk toolkit.
Sizzle is a Scheme interpreter for embedding into C applications and for standalone scripting. It implements a nearly complete subset of R5RS Scheme, adding a lot of primitives for U*ix scripting, regular expression searching, a simple module system, dynamic library linking, powerful string processing procedures, and much more. It includes a user's guide and an embedding manual in texinfo format, some examples, the embedding library, and a standalone interpreter for interactive use and scripting.
eINIT is an alternative init system. It's quite fast, since it can potentially be used without the help of any scripting at all, but it is still flexible and extremely modular. The focus is on speed and parallelisation, mostly with embedded devices and low-downtime servers in mind, and benchmarks do suggest that it's doing a fairly good job at that. It compiles cleanly (and should thus work, provided someone writes appropriate modules) on Linux, FreeBSD, and Darwin/Mac OS X.
EPOR is an extensible package organiser for Unix-like systems. It's written to trace filesystem changes (something being installed) and save this information in a simple text database (this, as any other provided feature, is customisable via the embedded Guile interpreter). Database entries contain information supplied by the command line (package name, version, etc.) and traced by filesystem changes (new directories, files, etc.). This is achieved using the "LD_PRELOAD method''.

I've been looking all over for an OS that could be used on legacy Pentium systems, and when I read that OS Syllable would give new life to these now obsolete computers, I gave it a try. The system is a Tekram ATX with a Pentium II @ 400MHz, 512MB PC100 ram. Syllable Installation completed, but failed to reboot; I had to manually reset. After POST, I got GRUB, with a flashing cursor. The system did not respond to any keyboard input. I next tried with a Dimension XPS T750r, Pentium III @ 750MHz, 512MB PC100 RAM. It would boot to desktop, but not much more. Any attempt to run one of the applications resulted in an out of memory condition, and the system crashed. Meanwhile, this system runs quite nicely on Win2K, sp4. So, I would ask the good doctor, if this is our experience in the field with Syllable, touted to run on older computers, how are we supposed to take it seriously? Is it not really intended to run on legacy Pentiums or does he have a differing definition of 'legacy' and 'Pentium'? It would seem that this testing is contradictory to what he says, and disappointingly, is not the break through I've been looking for.

To resolve the issue once and for all, I went to school, learned a lot, I studied some programming languages and now3 yeasr after, I´m able to write my own plugins for Adobe Audition. It was the best way I found. Today I can Encode, Decode Open, Close, Save , Destroy .... (lol).. .my audios in Dolby 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, DTS,(thes othes flavors of Dolby if for me, with Stereo LFE and Stereo Surround Back) and even wrote an old Quadraphonic, as they were in the 80s, just for fun!
As said SteaveG, Adobe makes software for audio editing and don'ts plugins.
What a pity that we users have to make us so much work and effort!

sorry by the enormous time to write here again, but i came for this forum , only when i can´t rewsolve by myself the isues tha comes out . I actually haviong ptoblems with 5.1 files encoded in audution 5.5, not play corretely in PP5.5.
But the plugin i wrote was good only in Pentium 4 processors,and especifically audio hardware tha came in thar mobo, because the microcodes i used.
You have to see that i want to resolve my problems as fast as i can ... No commercial thougths tropugh my mind .... he he he he ....
Today I´ve been using a dual opteron machine, witn a asus asio csounf card, in 64 bits enviroment, and audio card came with all plugins ans i very **** 5.1 encoder /decoder.
So ai descontinued tha work . Recently i wrote a driver for a webcam in windows 8, becaouse none of windows7 drives runs corretely. But I'm having a lot of work on my main activity that is post-production sound for movies, commercials, video clips and so on. and I must confess that the development of basic software is no longer a priority, then it is increasingly rare for me to write some software. In all, a big hug for you.
Best regards,

The definition of: Ekphrasis is below. There are 3 syllables in the word Ekphrasis . What rhymes with Ekphrasis ?
See poems containing the word: Ekphrasis
Link to this
Ekphrasis definition/page:
An Ekphrasis (Ecphrasis) is a poem written about another form of art. Ecphrasis has been considered generally to be a rhetorical device in which one medium of art tries to relate to another medium by defining and describing its essence and form, and in doing so, relate more directly to "you", the audience through its illuminative liveliness. A descriptive work of prose or one of poetry, a film, or even a photograph may thus highlight through its rhetorical vividness what is happening, or what is shown in, say, any of the visual arts, and in doing so, may enhance the original art and so take on a life of its own through its brilliant description. One example is a painting of a sculpture: the painting is "telling the story of" the sculpture, and so becoming a storyteller, as well as a story (work of art) itself. Virtually any type of artistic media may be the actor of, or subject of Ecphrasis, with some exceptions. One cannot make an accurate sculpture of a book to enhance the artistic impact of the book itself. One could, however, describe a sculpture in a book with successful synergy.

When Walt Disney welcomes shareholders to its annual meeting on Wednesday, it won't just be taking a victory lap, despite the fact that its stock is up more than 30 percent over the past 12 months and is trading around all-time highs. The media giant is facing opposition on two fronts—Bob Iger's dual role as chairman and CEO and its compensation plan.
The Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust Funds has proposed a plan to separate the roles of CEO and chairman. The plan is backed by high-profile pension fund CalSTERS, the Netherlands' PGGM Investments, and two of the largest proxy advisory services—ISS and Glass Lewis.
(Read More: What Drove Media Industry Gains Since Last Dow Record)
Iger has held the title of both chairman and CEO since last year, and is scheduled to step down as CEO and simply hold the chairman role starting in 2015.
ISS, Glass Lewis, along with Calstrs and PGGM also oppose Disney's compensation plan and are encouraging shareholders vote against the current proposal, which links Iger's compensation to the stock performance. In Disney's fiscal 2012, Iger brought home a total of $40 million in compensation, while the stock rose 76 percent. They're also backing another proposal that allows shareholders who own more than 3 percent of Disney shares continuously for three years to nominate directors.
CalSTERS CEO Jack Ehnes told CNBC that he's committed to maintaining the pension fund's $260 million investment in Disney, regardless of the outcome of the shareholder vote, but he is pushing for change to secure a better corporate structure.
"It is the job of the CEO to manage the company and it's the job of the chairman of the board to protect the interests of the shareholders," Ehnes said, explaining why he wants the positions split.
(Read More: Why One Analyst Thinks Disney Is a 'Buy')
Glass Lewis' David Eaton acknowledges that Disney has had a great year, but said that his organization is encouraging investors to correct "risks and issues that could affect shareholder value in the future." Disney board members will have a "slightly contentious meeting," Eaton predicted. "I think the pay issues are definitely going to be discussed."
Disney won't comment and simply points to its record. And Iger's record is indisputably strong. Since he became CEO on September 30, 2005, Disney's shares have gained 138 percent, while the S&P 500 gained just 25 percent over the same period.
In its most recent earnings, the fiscal first quarter of 2013, the company reported 79 cents per share, beating expectations by three cents, while revenue of $11.34 billion also came in higher than expected. And in its fiscal 2012 Disney reported record revenue and profit.

Matthew Wade, chief deputy, said Mapco sent out a release earlier in the week stating its database had been compromised.
"We know from reports from the Sheriff's Office that that was absolutely true," Wade said.
Mapco is a Brentwood, Tenn.,- based company that owns 377 convenience stores, according to Adrian Chavez, Mapco team lead.
Chavez said Wednesday evening he was uncertain how many stores or customers were affected by the security breach. There are 13 Mapco stores in Calhoun County, according to the company's website.
"In light of all this we have updated all our security measures to prevent this sort of malware from affecting us in the future," Chavez said.
Chavez advised anyone who may have experienced identity theft to contact their bank and check bank statements for transactions out of the ordinary.
Wade said since April his office has received over 100 reports of credit or debit card fraud.
"We know there's more out there," he said.
Wade said the U.S. Secret Service has been investigating the reports filed from residents across Calhoun County.
The release from Mapco stated that hackers were able to access the company's stores' payment card processing systems between March 19-25, April 14-15, and April 20-21.
The affected stores include MAPCO Express, MAPCO Mart, East Coast, Discount Food Mart, Fast Food and Fuel, Delta Express, and Favorite Markets in northern and central Alabama.

1.) Anyone remember an Action Comics issue where Sleez had Big Barda under mind control? Did Sleez really raped her? He could had knocked her up, seriously.
2.) Also, anyone else think Sleez should had used the brainwashed Superman and Barda to destroy Darkseid and conquer Apokolips? Instead, he tried to make a porn movie with them. What an idiot.

Running wire can be a real drag. Realizing this, Vizio has developed several new wireless products designed to simplify the installation of and audio/video system.
The company's two new home theater soundbars, for example, connect wirelessly to their companion subwoofers and headphones. The VHT210 ($299) Soundbar is designed for flat-panel TVs 32 inches or smaller and comes with a wireless subwoofer; the VHT510 ($399) is suited for flat-panel TVs that are 40 inches or larger and comes with a wireless and rear speakers.
The wireless nature of both products provides users the freedom to place the subwoofer and speakers anywhere in the room, as long as it's within 60 feet of the soundbar. Both soundbars can be connected to a pair of Vizio VHP100 Wireless Home Theater Headphones ($299).
Vizio is also making it simpler and more affordable to have Internet content delivered to your TV. For less than $200, the company's three models of dual-band wireless Blu-ray players let you add the Internet to your entertainment options without having to invest in a new TV.
The VIA-enabled VBR210, VBR220 and VBR231 can stream content wirelessly from online services such as Netflix, Vudu and Pandora. The VBR210 and VBR220 players feature built-in 802.11, 24GHz technology and deliver 7.1 channels of digital audio output over HDMI. The VBR231 uses both 2.4 and 5GHz bands for more reliability.
Even less expensive, at $99.99, Vizio's new XWR100 802.11n dual-band wireless router can stream HD media to VIA-enabled Blu-ray players and HDTVs. The device employs technology that prioritizes Internet traffic, making HD media its highest priority. It also makes use of both 2.4 and 5GHz simultaneously to help maximize its range and speed, while minimizing interruptions and re-buffering.
Web connectivity is possible through Vizio's XVT Series Razor LED HDTVs, which range from 22 to 55 inches.
Complementing Vizio's line of Internet-connected components are two 3D TVs. Both the 55-inch and 47-inch models in the XVT line feature an integrated WirelessHD receiver to support a wireless connection to an HD source like a settop box or Blu-ray player. The 3D TVs also feature LED backlighting and active-shutter glasses. A smaller 42-inch active 3D display uses LED backlighting, as well.
Here are the pretty product pictures:
