Come spend part of your spring with us in the High Uinta Mountains! Once again, the Flaming Gorge Ranger District is offering volunteers the opportunity to work on the Summit Springs Guard Station. Summit Springs is a nationally significant, historic Guard Station originally constructed during the 1930s. The Guard Station's purpose was to provide shelter for Forest Rangers and other Forest officers who typically spent the majority of their time on patrols and resource management projects in remote, back-country locations.
Volunteers will work alongside historic preservation experts from the Historic Building Preservation Team and other members of FS staff who are committed to the long-term preservation and this outstanding cultural resource, which will be "recycled" into use thorugh the FS Cabin Rental Program. This spring's work will build on our accomplishments in 2013. Last year, non-historic windows and doors were replaced with custom-made doors and windows accurate to the building's period of construction. Non-historic wood paneling was removed from the interior, interior walls were painted in original colors that were discovered in a closet, and first and second story floors were sanded and refinished. This year, we will replace the badly deteriorated roof with new cedar shingles and continue work on the Guard Station's interior. So, there will be more than enough work for volunteers who may not feel comfortable working on the roof top!
Summit Springs GS is one of a growing number of historically significant Ranger Stations and back-country Guard Stations that are or will be available for rental by the public. Volunteers at Summit Springs will work in a breath-taking, scenic area with ample opportunity for wildlife viewing, hiking and world-class fishing. See you in May!

Join us this summer on the Ashley National Forest as we "Swett" through a bit of Utah history! Historic Swett Ranch is a classic example of an early pioneer homestead. Oscar Swett homesteaded the family's original claim in 1909, accumulating additional acreage over the next fifty-eight years and, with his wife, Emma, raised nine children. They were surrounded by resources of the mountains, and had only a few distant neighbors, operating the ranch by man and horsepower, long after trucks and tractors were available. Oscar used native logs and lumber in construction of buildings and fences. The majority of the Swett Ranch structures remain in their original locations, and the ranch is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
However, the structures have suffered the effects of time, weather, and disuse, and are in need of care and a little TLC - so we need your help! This year, PIT volunteers and Forest staff will fix up the original cabin and nearby outbuildings and other structures. At the cabin, we will replace shingles on the roof and we'll replace chinking on the log walls. The cabin will also need repairs to its windows. Additionally, we plan to repair the roof of the stables, repair or replace fencing around the site, and complete other repairs and maintenance as needed and as time allows. This really is a special and beautiful place, and what a unique piece of history! We hope you'll join us in August as we "reconstruct the past" at Swett Ranch!
Please note: we will accept applications only until the project is filled, so apply today!
Number of openings: 8
Special skills: Must be physically capable of repetitive lifting, bending, stooping, and other, related preservation tasks at high elevations (8,000' asl) for extended periods each day in an outdoor setting, and in a variety of weather conditions; Previous roofing, carpentry, construction, historic preservation and/or maintenance experience is preferred and helpful, but not required
Minimum age: 18 years old

Join us on the Fish Lake National Forest this summer as we return to beautiful Clear Creek Canyon! The historic canyon boasts towering walls of volcanic tuff, and leads to the tranquil remnant of the waters that cut the canyon long ago. The creek is lined with cottonwoods, and is peaceful and picturesque. The canyon's history and prehistory are as spectacular as the scenery: the ancient Fremont people lived here over 1,000 years ago and, more recently, in 1826, was part of the path taken by Jedediah Smith, famous all-American mountain man, while on his way to California. Also found here - and which will be the focus of this year's PIT project - is the Alma Christensen Trail. The trail was built in 1986, and followed the well-worn skids of Alma Christensen (1890 - 1957), who harvested and dragged cedar posts from the heights to his home in Clear Creek Canyon to create fence-lines and other structures. Alma and his family lived on and worked the land from around 1917 to 1944, and the Christensen ranch often doubled as a boarding house, school, and restaurant, and is said to have had the only telephone in the region.
In conjunction with the opening of the Fremont Indian State Park in 1987, the Christensen Trail became an interpretive path, managed jointly by the Park and the Forest Service. However, time, erosion, and use have worn down the path, and it is in need of a little care and maintenance. So, this year, PIT volunteers and Forest staff will work along approximately three miles of the trail to replace water bars and re-establish tread. There is much to see, do, and explore in this beautiful area during your hours "off the clock" as well, so we hope you'll join us in July as we repair this wonderful piece of Utah history!
Number of openings: 10
Special skills: General maintenance, landscaping, basic construction, and/or restoration experience helpful, but not required
Minimum age: 10 years old, under 18 with a responsible adult
Facilities: Tent and small RV (pop-up) camping available at no charge at FS Clear Creek Campground, nestled in a side-canyon shaded by cottonwoods; water, flush toilets; no hookups; Richfield is a full-service community with motels, restaurants, and a variety of other amenities; volunteers responsible for own lodging/personal camping equipment, food, and transportation

Join us in July for another hike along the Old Spanish Trail! Between 2009 and 2013, Forest Service staff and PIT volunteer crews have found wagon traces, swales, cairns and blazed trees left behind by mountain men and vaqueros traveling back and forth between Santa Fe and California (ca. 1831 - 1848). In the fall, typically more than 200 mule trains left Santa Fe for Los Angeles, and in the spring, thousands of horses and mules were herded back to New Mexico, driven by hundreds of men. Some of these men would leave marks on the history of the American West - Jedediah Smith, Old Bill Williams, Kit Carson, and Capt. John Gunnison are only a few of those whose footsteps still echo along the historic Trail.
Part of the Old Spanish Trail also wound its way through the mountains and passed through this area, where the Fish Lake cut-off intersected the main route. Once again this year, PIT volunteers and Forest staff will survey and metal detect for other traces of this National Historic Trail that may be found on the Fish Lake NF. This is beautiful country, and there is much to see and do in your "off hours," so we hope to see you this summer!
While it is not a requirement for volunteers to own metal detectors or to have metal-detecting experience, it is certainly helpful and most welcome if you do - the numbers of detectors we have on hand is somewhat limited. Please indicate on your application if you own and can bring a metal detector, and/or if you have metal-detecting experience.
Number of openings: 15
Special skills: Previous archaeological survey, mapping, artifact identification, and/or metal-detecting experience helpful, but not required
Minimum age: 18 years old
Facilities: Primitive tent camping at no charge along dirt road at the side of the Old Spanish Trail); chemical toilet provided by FS; potable water available ~4 miles from camp; Richfield and Salina are full-service communities with motels, restaurants, and a variety of other amenities; volunteers responsible for own lodging/personal camping equipment, food, water, and transportation

Join us on the Manti-La Sal National Forest this spring for another hike into the past! Porcupine Rim, in the Maloy Park area, is located approximately 10 miles east of Moab. The area is home to multiple rock art panels, prehistoric and historic sites, and some outstanding views of the surrounding red rock canyon country, including Castle Valley, and populated by piñon, juniper, and mountain shrub plant communities.
During the course of our PIT project in this majestic area, we will locate and document a particularly significant rock art site and associated lithic scatter, and we will survey the adjacent area for other sites, features, and cultural phenomena. Participants will work with Manti-La Sal archaeologists to complete detailed scale drawings and photograph the rock art panel. We will also complete Intermountain Antiquities Computer Systems (IMACS) site forms, create site maps and inventories, and complete in-field artifact analyses. Our work here will be interesting, picturesque, and will provide unique insight into this area's prehistoric and historic past. We hope you will join us in May and be part of the team!
Number of openings: 12
Special skills: Must be physically capable of hiking approximately 4 miles each day at high altitudes (roughly 7600' asl), over moderate to difficult (broken/bushy) terrain, and in a variety of weather conditions; previous archaeological survey, artifact and feature recognition, site recording/mapping, sketching, photography, and/or GPS experience helpful, but not required

In the 1970s, archaeological surveyors working on the Manti-La Sal National Forest in Southeastern Utah documented hundreds of Ancestral Puebloan sites on the flanks of Elk Ridge and the Abajo Mountains. They also collected thousands of surface artifacts. These collections are invaluable sources of information for determining the ages and functions of sites. In fact, they are often the only source of dating and cultural use information for some sites, as later, illegal artifact collecting has erased the ability to accurately interpret them. The artifacts recovered during the 1970s' studies are curated at Edge of the Cedars State Park and Museum in Blanding. Edge of Cedars Museum is a premier facility that boasts many fine Southwestern archaeological exhibits, including unique artifacts, rock art, and even a stabilized ruin.
Come join Edge of the Cedars Museum staff and archaeologists from the Manti-La Sal National Forest once again as we continue to catalog these collections! You will learn or brush up on how to identify Ancestral Puebloan ceramics and get introduced to skills in stone artifact identification, or hone ones you have. You'll also see the inner-workings of a working museum and learn how both artifacts and the data we can derive from them are preserved. Most of all, you'll learn how the information captured in the artifacts brings to life a complex story of life and migration during Ancestral Puebloan times. We hope to see you again this spring!
Number of openings: 12
Special skills: Previous artifact identification (especially Ancestral Puebloan ceramics) and/or laboratory experience helpful, but not required
Minimum age: 14 years old, under 18 with a responsible adult
Facilities: Blanding is a full-service community with motels, RV parks, restaurants, and a full range of other amenities; RV parks (full hookups and some with wireless Internet) and several amenities also available in Bluff and Monticello; volunteers responsible for own lodging, meals, and daily transportation

Join us at the Blacksmith Fork Guard Station this summer as our rehabilitation project at the Station enters its second year! Blacksmith Fork Guard Station is located on the Logan Ranger District, within the Left Hand Fork of Blacksmith Fork Canyon. It was built sometime around 1934, during the "New Deal" Era, when efforts to recover from the economic impact of the Great Depression produced work relief programs including the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Works Progress Administration (WPA). Young men working for these relief programs built many of the guard stations, campgrounds, amphitheaters, and other facilities found on the Forest. Forest recreation employees used the Station regularly until 1982, when it was abandoned after the adjacent stream flooded and destroyed the Station's water system. Since then, lack of maintenance, the elements, and the passage of time have taken a heavy toll on the structure and, more recently, it has been the target of a great deal of vandalism. In 2012, work began to rehabilitate this guard station and, in the final stage of these efforts, it is ready to be re-roofed - and we need your help!
PIT volunteers and Forest staff will take on the task of re-structuring and re-shingling the building and giving those final touches of TLC to get the Station back in shape. The goal is to have it completely restored by fall of 2014, when it will be placed into the Forest Service's National Cabin Rental System. This "adaptive reuse" of the guard station will aid in its continued preservation and will make it available for the public to use and enjoy for generations to come! August is a superb time to be in this area, so come be a part of history and enjoy this beautiful part of the country - we hope to see you this summer!
Please note: previous roofing (especially shingling) experience is preferred. While not specifically a requirement, selection preference will be given to individuals meeting this criterion. Please indicate on your application if this applies to you.
Number of openings: 6
Special skills: Must be comfortable working at heights (work will be above ground); must be physically capable of lifting, bending, stooping, climbing, kneeling, and/or standing for extended periods each day, and in a variety of (sometimes unpredictable) weather conditions; previous roofing (especially shingling) experience preferred; previous construction, maintenance, and/or additional related experience helpful, but not required
Minimum age: 18 years old
Facilities: Tent and small RV (trailer) camping available at no charge at base camp (Guard Station work site) in Left Hand Fork of Blacksmith Fork Canyon; water, toilet facilities, showers (outdoor set-up or trailer shower); no hook-ups; meals and utensils provided; Hyrum, Providence, and Logan are full-service communities with hotels/motels, restaurants, and a full range of other amenities; volunteers responsible for own lodging/personal camping equipment, and daily transportation to and from work site (if opting for accommodations outside of camp)
Nearest town: Hyrum, 10 miles; Providence, 12 miles; Logan, 14 miles

ClassicsOnline Home » DELIUS, F.: Violin Sonatas (Complete) (Stanzeleit, Fenyo) > Review List
Beneath the shimmering surface of Delius's little-known violin sonatas are the latent exuberance
and nostalgic rapture which have made his orchestral music so popular. Across the decades
separating the B major Violin Sonata of 1892 from the Third Violin Sonata of 1930, Delius
developed a unique musical language which leavened the post-Romantic heritage of Wagner
with French Impressionism and European and Afro-American folk idioms; an intoxicating mix
that moved Sir Thomas Beecham to call him 'the last great apostle in our time of beauty and
romance in music'.

Great product will add value to your decoy spread.
They don't have the non glare surface but they don't have much of a glair on them. I set them out on a really sunny day and just angle them down towards the sun.
Great product. you would need the hole punch in really hard ground

what are some character traits of atticus finch in 'to kill a mockingbird' & how are they illustrated in the novel?
2 Answers | Add Yours
Atticus is a pleasantly complex character. He is a responsible and loving father, a man who concentrates on essences, not externals, a brave man, and a clear and ethical thinker. (Can you tell I approve of him?)
You can see these qualities throughout the book. He faces a rabid dog (brave, responsible). He sees Scout for who she is, not what the community thinks girls should be. He defends African Americans when the community says he should not, and so on.
atticus is responsable (the dog) and brave (he stood up to the mob outside the jail house) and he is appathetic ( he didnt show any emotion after tom wasfound guilty)

I owned a Lumia 900, and then I upgraded to the Lumia 920 when Windows Phone 8 launched. After that a funny thing happened, I left the Windows Phone ecosystem and got myself a Moto X running Android. Though I loved the Window Phone operating system, there were many things missing that were bugging me on a daily basis. There were both business tools, and personal fun that Windows Phone users did not get to be a part of.
When Nokia launched the 6 inch Lumia 1520 I ran to the Microsoft store to take a look. The first thing that came to mind was "holy sh*t, this thing is huge"! I even held it up to my face so my wife could take a picture of how ridiculous this thing was. Who would want to use such a device? Two weeks ago I got a chance to get a 1520, and I took it. So, who would want to use such a device? This guy! After two weeks I can say that I will not be going back to the Moto X or any other phone in the near future. The Lumia 1520 is for me, and it might just be for you too.
The first thing you notice when you turn on the phone is the screen. It is bright, it is clear, and it is perfect. Windows Phone running on a 1080p device shows the OS in a whole new light. You can fit more tiles on your screen, and all the colors just pop. Browsing the internet on a 6 inch device is a pleasure. The text is a perfect size, and you never find yourself squinting or saving that long article to read later on a bigger device. Watching a hockey game via the NBC Sports Extra app or a movie on Netflix is very enjoyable. You quickly forget you are watching on your phone. Then there is the camera. I am not a professional photographer, but the 20MP camera is terrific. I am a user that just snaps a photo on the auto settings, and the 1520 makes me look like a pro.
There are still some issues with the Windows Phone ecosystem, but many of those get fixed each day. Just this week Facebook launched their messenger app which was one of the reasons I went to the Moto X. We are just weeks away from the big Windows Phone 8.1 update which will bring many enhancements that are needed. Since I left a few short months ago many of the big name apps are in the store now. Netflix, Vine, Beats Audio, and more are now available.
We talk all the time about finding the perfect 8 inch tablet to go along with our phone. In the last few months there have been a number of new Windows 8 tablets to join the ranks of the iPad mini and Android devices. Well I have found my small tablet, and it is also my phone. I now have zero interest in a device that sits between my phone and my 10 inch tablet. If you are hesitant about using a phone this big, don't be. Go to the store and play with it. You will be very happy with what you find.
What I use?
People always ask about apps, and what I use. Here is what I find myself using on a daily basis. These are the current apps you will find on my home screen. Let me know in the comments what you use.

(NOTE: To participate in the blog chain, you must be twenty years old or younger. I hate to be exclusive, but this chain is meant to bring teen writers together, so it doesn't quite work if you're not in that age range. Sorry!)
So how does the blog chain work? I'll assign a topic for the next month's chain in a blog post that usually goes live toward the end of the month (often about the 25th). To sign up for the chain, all you have to do is comment on the announcement post with a link to your blog and any days that don't work for you, and I'll assign you a date to post your response on. (Although, if it ends up that you're away on the only day we have left, you can always write your post in advance and schedule it to publish automatically.) The goal of the chain is to help you meet new teen bloggers/writers from all across the interwebs, so be sure to visit others' posts so that they can do the same for you.
When does the blog chain start? All of our blog chains begin on the 5th of the month and end on different dates, depending on how many people sign up (but they usually run to about the 22nd). The last day to enter the chain is on the 3rd, the same day that month's blog chain schedule will be posted at the bottom this page. I'd love it if you could include the schedule at the end of your response to the prompt so that all of us can find each other and cross promote.
For those of you who are interested, here's a roundup of the topics:
September 2014: "What are your favorite book beginnings and/or endings?"
August 2014: "What characters are you most like?"
July 2014: "What's one thing you wish you knew when you started writing?"
June 2014: "What are your thoughts on book-to-movie adaptions? Would you one day want your book made into a movie, or probably not?"
May 2014: "What kinds of published books would you like to see more of?"
January 2014: "If you could co-write a book with one author–living or not–who would it be and what would the book be about?"
December 2013: "Which fictional world would you most like to be a part of, and what role do you think you would fulfill within it?"
July 2013: "Take any character from one of your books and put them in a therapy session. Write a short scene about what happens."
June 2013: "How have both the people in your life and your own personal experiences impacted your writing? Do you ever base characters off of people you know?"
May 2013: "What are some of the coolest/weirdest/funniest/most disturbing things you've researched for a story?"
April 2013: "What is your ultimate goal as a writer?"
March 2013: "Write a letter to an antagonist."
February 2013: "Choose one self-published book to read and talk about your experience with it."
January 2013: "Is there one particular book that changed your life? If so, why did you originally choose to read it? What impact has it had on you?"
October 2012: "What are you writing for NaNoWriMo? Briefly explain how this book idea come about. Then write a mock first page for the novel."
September 2012: "How much does setting affect your novels and stories? What are some of your favorite ways to portray setting?"
August 2012: ""Write a retelling of your favorite fairytale, myth, or legend."
July 2012: "How has writing affected your perception of the world?"
June 2012: "Let's face it; we all judge books by their covers. What kind of covers grab you? Why? Be sure to use examples of your favorite book covers."

It's also a quick recipe, which is handy for days when you walk in the door and want to make a supper that is as Easy As Possible. You know those days. For example, we picked the Southern Daughter up at college last week, and spent approximately 12 hours driving from South Carolina to New Jersey following the back of Michael Jordan's head on the interstate.
That's enough to wear anyone out, and make them long for a delicious yet ridiculously easy chicken dinner.
So! Mix up some chopped fresh rosemary with a little minced garlic and some olive oil, and rub it all over your chicken. Let it sit while you preheat the oven, and then sear it in a skillet just until it is nice and golden brown. Now pop it in the oven and let it finish cooking while you make the sauce.
In that same skillet, cook up some chopped shallot and some chicken broth, and whisk in some butter at the very end – this will make the sauce just the right amount of silky. When the chicken comes out of the oven, pour a little bit of the sauce on the plate or platter, pop the chicken on top, and pour the rest of the sauce on top. If you want to be all fancy, you can drop a sprig or two of fresh rosemary on top.
Recipe adapted just a little from Bon Appetit

"Less is not only more ...it can change your life -- by having you focus on only what is essential to your happiness."
Related quotes
"The words may sparkle for sometime. The words may vanish after sometime. but what they meant will remain even after they are gone... Let the sparkle be inspired by you for you can shine longer than a lifetime. Let the words know the fact that a person can mean more than the words meant for him.."
"Life's focus need not necessarily mean looking at a single object to achieve, but keeping minds open for anything valuable. The exploration and drilling may not fetch oil always, but sometimes something more precious from benevolent earth."
"The biggest distraction in life to one's focus is often near locus standing people saying all hocus-pocus."
"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it
seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that
you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things:
a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that
regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're
gone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as
making a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both
hands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I've learned that whenever
I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've
learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that
every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or
just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you
did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happiness would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."

"Far from the most popular Deschutes offering, but close to the most unique. Closer to a witbier than an IPA, yet too hoppy to be a witbier, and too spiced to be an IPA. At times you will feel as if you are drinking one or the other. Even though there are only a few out there, this is the best version of a White IPA on our shelves."

If you've had Capital Ghost Ship, this is a lot like that. A very unique IPA offering, and if you aren't used to IPAs this might be a good way to start working into them. Some of the White Ale spices work their way into the flavor, reducing some of the impact of the hops on the palate. This is also great for experienced craft drinkers looking for something new.

iPhone app transforms speech to text
Voice-transcription software has come to the iPhone from the long-time industry leader in speech-to-text software. Dragon Dictation (App Store link) is from Nuance, the developers of the Dragon NaturallySpeaking line of speech-to-text converters for Windows and the supplier of the recognition engine behind MacSpeech Dictate for …
Yawn. I've been using voice search and the voice text input method ever since I got an Android phone.
Completely Different set up
This isnt really about the iPhone. Voice commands are available on many different handsets, Input based voice recognition Is only really possible with server side processing, which is similar to what Google's voice search does, but Nuance a leading here in every sense when it comes to input.
The Reason why this is free I believe is to improve quality and accuracy before selling a paid version. This will be part of a much bigger strategy for them as they move towards offering ODMs very accurate voice recognition systems that can then be sold as a true feature that actually works.
Voice recognition is certainly one of the next big frontiers for mobile devices, IMHO, despite the constraints the act of speaking aloud has in public or private.
Invest in Nuance*
*If you do and shit hits the fan, dont blame me, and just some Commentard!
Funny that.
I've not seen (neither) can I find anything about Android being able to do full *dictation*. Suppose that's what you get for not actually reading the article.
Same here
Nice to see iPhone getting features that have been on Android for some time now. Who knows maybe iPhone will get Google Goggles as well by Summer 2010 :-) Shame iPhone won't be able to perform image recognition and voice-to-text *at the same time*. Maybe Apple will add real multitasking one day to support this.
Amazing technology
If you can set it up so the recipient auto-converts from text to voice, it will be just like a phone.
Too Late
I believe that Apple have already patented that idea.
G Carlin anyone
The seven words you can't translate on iPhone:
This'd be great
but Android did it ages ago, and I'm pretty sure WinMo had it a while back as well. I am glad to see that the iPhone has finally got cut-and-paste, though... Only took what, 3 generations?
We really should get Apple to release a set of 3D glasses as an Apple world first- they seem to have a knack for coming in late to the party but pulling along a whole lot more friends. Then claiming loudly that it's a party thrown by Apple itself.
Nice but...
Not until I can choose to not upload my contact names, or, at least suppress a selected subset of them.
Is using the app without uploading the address book an option? I'm happy to live with the added inaccuracy.
Not sure if "the price is right" takes this price into account.

Something You Forgot to Mention...
"If that's okay with you AND YOU LIVE IN THE USA, go ahead and add Dragon Dictation to your app pile - the price is certainly right"
Great, another one of those Apps that the rest of the world have to wait for or do without for reasons I can never fathom.
@ AC "This'd be great.. but"
Oh, do grow \ shut up.
Too low processor?
Dragon dictate on a 486 with dos, a good soundcard and microphone could get in the high ninety percent recognition fifteen years ago. Its not much better now really. I don't see why the iphone shouldn't be powerful enough.
this, pretty much
I was about to post a similar sentiment - it seemed to work fine for my dad on a 133mhz Cyrix yonks ago, and I'd be shocked if an iPhone's ARM was less pokey than THAT bargain basement bit of silicon. PC voice recognition apps were all the rage then, before people got bored of them. Similarly it worked fine for medical dictation on a boggo Dell workstation (probably something like an 800mhz P-III) when I was working for the NHS about 5 years ago, and though that's probably a bit beefier than Apple's baby, it also had a fair bit more going on in the background - all of a domain-based XP install's overhead plus occasional visits from a remote terminal fairy that chucked imaging data at it (needing processing after capture on an aiiiiiincient Sun Sparc).
It just sounds like some massive excuse to have your speech and the resultant transcription going in and out of their servers for no good reason but a whole load of potentially nefarious ones. Plus add in the fact that it's almost certainly going to be compressed in order to travel through the tubes at anything resembling realtime speed, which needs a fair bit of power in of itself for good quality (on a par with, oh, say a 200~300mhz Pentium MMX) but would still probably compromise the accuracy vs just analysing the PCM original in the phone...?
Now that's what I call reviewing!
"although accuracy improved when we spoke more clearly than we do in normal conversation."
Would never have guessed!
Banned in the UK,
Servers don't have enough processing power for Glaswegian...
Nice review... but why do it on a UK website when we can't even get the app!
@ Ebeneser
"Nice to see iPhone getting features that have been on Android for some time now."
Not exactly, it's third party software, so hardly an iPhone feature that Apple implemented!
Too labor (sic) intensive for UK?
http://www.theregister.co.uk/Design/graphics/icons/comment/thumb_down_32.pngJust think of all those American misspellings that would have to be corrected manually - color...realize...aluminum...center. No thanks.
Trogdor !
Hey Strong Bad, Can you draw a dragon? I want to see your skills of an artist.
US-only for a reason
The recognizer is probably tuned for American-accented speech, and will be less accurate with British accents. It also only uses American spelling, which some silly people would complain about. I expect they'll produce versions for the UK and other countries after this trial phase.
hand over your contacts ....
Apparently (as I cannot check, being in the UK) the Licence agreement permits them to transfer all your contacts to Nuance, who in turn can hand them over to your ISP/carrier. As Nuance are in the US, this is probably why they will have difficulty in getting it on the UK store, under the US terms.

Hayden Panettiere Boob Job Rumors: Did She Get Plastic Surgery?by Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
Hayden Panettiere looks a bit curvier lately, but is that the result of a boob job? Putting on a few pounds? Or just the way a particular bikini looks on her?
The rumors started after Hayden Panettiere bikini pics taken on Easter spread like wildfire online. Relatively speaking, she was busting out of that thing.
She looked fairly curvy in her Glamour photos too, but not so much so that plastic surgery seems obvious. There could be many variations at work.
That bikini is microscopic, first of all, and anyone's chest looks bigger depending on the angle of the pic. If she put on 5-10 pounds, that'd make a difference too.
Finally, do they really look that different from last year ...
Or even from all the way back in '09? You be the judge:
What do you think? Did Hayden get breast implants?
at first i would say no cus she looks normal but as you look closer to the pic in the pink swim suit you can see the ripples in her chest from a implant bag
y por cierto espantoso bikini! de mal gusto!
los tiene! y mal puestos le hace un defecto en el pecho..horrible!
stop with these idiot suggestions.
...............but leave her alone!!
You can see the implant ripples and indent. I have implants. I know them when I see them and she most CERTAINLY has them
Yep, looks like she's packin' on a few pounds. You can see it in her face too. The Esquire photos are probably retouched and airbrushed, though, so who knows.

Good to you hope all is well.
I would like to let you know that our stay at Elinnanda was excellent and the accommodation first class. The staff was very helpful and friendly especially cherry Ann. The place was very clean, great amenities and comfortable. One small matter, I had some difficulties accessing internet for the first week but the staff was very helpful with resolving the problem.
We loved it, very nice property. individual and intimate. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit and will recommend highly to others.
Continue to maintain your high standers.
Best regards,

A typical hybrid class breakdown includes in-person lectures, seminars or meetings and online communication through an academic web program such as WebCT or Blackboard. Through these web-based programs professors and instructors can post lectures, course outlines, documents, quizzes and website links, set up chat rooms for discussion and communicate through email. Sometimes teachers will reserve particular times for meeting online. They can conduct these meetings through a chat room where they type to students or stream a live video of themselves via a webcam.
Hybrid College Courses
An increasing number of colleges and universities are offering hybrid courses. A hybrid course is an alternative to both face-to-face teaching and strictly web-based classes because it typically involves roughly 50 percent of each. Portions of the class take place in a physical classroom, while other portions involve learning online through a web-based learning program such as WebCT.
Class Schedule
Supporting Research
Studies show mixed results on the success of hybrid college courses. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's faculty claimed its students learned more from and produced higher quality assignments for hybrid courses than for traditional class formats. The Center for Distributed Learning at the University of Central Florida reports that students attain higher grades in hybrid courses than in face-to-face and fully online courses. Professor Gordon Hensley at Appalachian State University, however, writes that he observed no difference between the pass and dropout rates between face-to-face courses and his pilot hybrid course.
The main reason educational institutions offer hybrid courses is because of their advantages for students. Hybrid courses offer students more flexibility because they reduce the amount of time students need to be on campus, thereby saving them money as well. Students can access their hybrid courses via the Internet, which also frees up classrooms. Additionally, professors can tailor the format of a hybrid course to the needs of the curriculum.
Hybrid courses require all students to be fairly competent with technology. Some students will navigate web-based programs with ease, while other students will become frustrated, which can impede their learning. From the faculty end, Hensley finds hybrid courses more time-consuming than traditional courses because of the amount of emailing and online communication. The National Education Association produced a survey that showed faculty reported online courses require a heavier workload for instructors than face-to-face classes.

"Great response cards for a destination beach wedding. Love the color options, paper quality, & size. Highly recommend requesting poofs for edits and etiquette recommendations, etc. They came out perfect!"
"The ease of the process made this a most pleasing experience. My order was custom and only took a total of 2 emails to make it exactly what I wanted. To be honest, I never expected that the product would be the quality that arrived right on schedule. I will be ordering additional invites, thank you notes and more items in the future! Great job!"
"My RSVP cards turned out perfectly! I even added a spot on the back of the card for my guests to make a song request for the DJ."
"The paper quality was just as good as the actual invite. Also, we were able to personalize the text on the RSVP Card. The staff member was extremely helpful and also provide great recommendations for font and style."
"I just got these, and to say they are perfect would be an understatment. I love them! They match my fall them perfectly. The customer service at WPD is as always perfect. And the best part, I go them a whole 5 days earlier than expected."

I'll be thinking of you next weekend when I attend another flea market/ antique show. I"m in search of a piece I can use for an entertainment center. Something that is short in profile, more like a rectangular shape. Hoping to find it :)

Rebecca and Wooley Sullivan are leaning on the Red Cross Monday after a fire this weekend destroyed close to everything in the couple's mobile home.
"We got a call while we were out that the trailer was on fire, and I could hardly believe it, but when we got back up there it was my trailer," Wooley said.
The extensive damage left them with no clothes or food, and more importantly, no shelter for these chilly nights. That's when Red Cross stepped in.
"We took the family, we comforted them, we put them in a hotel on 5th street extended which is the Holiday Inn and also we gave them money for food," Red Cross volunteer Isaac Strother said.
"They did an excellent job, responded to us quickly and got us a place to stay," Rebecca said.
Volunteers are also busy at work providing necessities to the Fluvanna family we told you about after a fire gutted their home on Saturday.
"I came home and there was a line of fire trucks in front of the house. The fire had been put out," Janet Morris said.
Janet, her fiance and three children turned to family members for support until they too could receive aid.
"We serviced that family this morning, we put them in a hotel and also provided for them," Strothers said.
Volunteers said this time of year can be the hardest for disasters like these, but that it's also the most common.
"This time of the year, it's the worst, a lot of fires, wood burning stoves as well as turkey frying and shortage of wiring in the homes," Strothers said.
If you would like information about donating to either family, you can contact the Red Cross at 434-979-7143 or the Salvation Army at 434-295-4058.

Glock can race if well enough
|S. Vettel

|P. Maldonado
23 June 2012 – Timo Glock will decide on Sunday morning whether or not he intends to race in the European Grand Prix. Having arrived in Valencia with a stomach bug, the German took part in final practice but skipped Saturday's qualifying session.
"We won't be able to reach any conclusions regarding the race until tomorrow morning, so we wish Timo well," says Team Principal John Booth. "Our objective for tomorrow's race, whatever it may hold, will simply be to do the best job possible in the circumstances."
Formula 1 governing body the FIA has already granted Glock - who holds the Valencia lap record from 2009 - special dispensation to take part in Sunday's race, should he be well enough to do so.

Photo from the UT College of Veterinary Medicine shows Wanto, a silverback gorilla, undergoing a physical exam at the Knoxville Zoo's Lindsay Young Animal Clinic on June 3rd, 2013.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- On Monday, the Knoxville Zoo cleared the newest resident of the zoo's Gorilla Valley to move in after an extensive health examination.
The 36-year-old silverback male gorilla, Wanto, underwent the thorough physical exam that included an echo cardiogram to evaluate his heart health at the zoo's Lindsay Young Animal Clinic.
The results of the exam found Wanto was healthy, but suffered from hypertension and some calcification in his arterial walls.
Wanto came to the Knoxville Zoo from the Kansas City Zoo, and will be paired with female companions Hope and Machi.
Wanto's health data will be shared with the Great Ape Heart Project, a project to create a database tracking cardiac health information in great ape species.

Morgan Brian has made a name for herself at Virginia and now the junior midfielder has earned acclaim on the global stage as well.
Brian scored her first career international goal in the United States Women's National Team's 7-0 win over Mexico in a friendly Tuesday.
Brian scored the seventh and final U.S. goal.
"I think we had a good buildup to that goal and Abby Wambach laid me off a great ball and I just took a touch around a defender and looked to place it and it went in," Brian explained to reporters Thursday.
The match capped off a whirlwind few days for Brian. She helped guide the Cavaliers past Richmond on Sunday, then immediately departed for Washington, D.C. to join the national team.
"The week went by really, really fast. It's already Friday tomorrow and we're playing Rutgers so for me to have to transition like that, playing against a team like Mexico and playing with a full team of players like Abbey Wambach," Brian explained. "But coming back here and playing with my team is always fun and I look forward to it."
Brian became the fourth Virginia player to score a goal for the US Women's National Team. Angela Hucles had 13 international goals, while Amanda Cromwell and Lori Lindsey each scored once for the national team.
