Song Name Game
The Song Name Game needs your participation!
So let's go!
Using a word from the previous song title given, think of another song with that word in it.
Rules: The word you use can be any word from the song. As long as it's close, you can use it. For example, if the song has 'loving' in it's title, you can use a song with 'love' in it, but it HAS to be close to the original word. You should give the artist if possible, but if not it's okay. Try to use a title with several words so the next person has some to choose from. Don't make up songs!
Someone starts: "Princess of the Night" - Saxon
Reply: "Strangers In The Night" - Frank Sinatra
Reply: "Love Ain't No Stranger" - Whitesnake
And so on.
Okay, I'll start.
Best I can ~Queensryche
So join in and have some fun!

Samsung Series 7 Slate 700T review
4 out of 5
Lightweight tablet PC, with combined touch and pin input. Large, bright screen and a powerful processor.
Lack of I/O ports unless you use a docking station, nowhere to tuck the pen
If you saw the tablets Microsoft gave away to developers at its Build event last year, you'll find the Series 7 Slate a familiar looking device. That's not surprising, as the Build tablet was a modified version of Samsung's Slate. The Slate is an interesting... read the full review.

What is the difference between "illicit" and "illegal"? Are they just synonymous? Used in different contexts?
From here: This is backed up by things like illicit sexual relationship. It's not wrong to have a sexual relationship normally, but it could be "wrong" if you are married, or not yet married, etc. illicit trade is another such example. It's not wrong to trade, unless you do it in the wrong way. |
An illegal action only breaks the law. An illicit action breaks ethical or moral standards (and probably the law as well). As you see here, illicit can be used to mean illegal, but its second meaning makes all the difference. So if you want to preserve our precious English nuances, choose wisely! |
Illicit is forbidden by law, rules, custom or other set of principles. Illegal is forbidden only by law. |
Maybe the best ways to distinguish the two are their etymologies and their uses, which are related. Illicit < Lat., licere, to permit. Illegal < Lat., lex, a statutory law (as opposed to natural law, or what have you). As noted above, illicit is a broader term that often includes a moral or ethical connotation, whereas illegal does not. It might be illegal to open the coolant reservoir on your air conditioner, but nobody thinks it is immoral. Likewise, adultery is often legal - or if illegal, not considered a criminal offense but only a matter of family law should a divorce be sought - but nobody really thinks of adultery as anything but an illicit affair. The terms are used, relative to each other, differently in different contexts. In canon law of the Catholic Church, the two words are synonymous, and are opposed to the term invalid. Validity, in such a distinction, has to do with reality, whereas liceity has only to do with permission and regulation. For instance, a layperson may not preach at Mass. Ask any of my friends and they will tell you how preachy I can be. The Church's law does not deny my ability (validity, you might say - what I can do) to preach - it only denies me permission (liceity or legality - what I may) to do so. In purely legal matters, though, liceity/validity are often the same thing. If a contract is entered into illicitly, it is generally not going to be valid - for instance, most contracts entered into with minors do not have legal validity. Lastly, in civic affairs, we very often understand there to be a gap in the law when that which is considered to be illicit (certain shady handling of money by politicians, for instance) is still legal. |

Eternal Journey New Atlantis review
Eternal Journey New Atlantis is a hidden object adventure game that takes players from the depths of the ocean to outer space. We've played many games of this sort before, but we can't say we've ever become as engrossed as we did in this one.
Eternal Journey New Atlantis contains stellar graphics and is quite cinematic at times, with high-quality audio adding to the experience. You play the role of an archeologist exploring the underwater city of Atlantis, but that's just the beginning; before you know it, you'll be wandering around an abandoned Martian train … Read more

Maybe moving some day
I've lived in southeast Oklahoma all my life my family is here. My household is me my wife & our 2 boys. We have a nice sized home on nearly 3 ac. which is more land than I need or want to take care of. My job sucks & the new economy makes it worse, I've been there for almost 12 years & no place within reasonable driving distance can compete if they are even hiring. My wife doesn't like it here anymore because there is nothing for the kids to do close by, I'm starting to agree with her & wondering what keeps me here. Mostly its the fear of what would happen I've switched possitions at my job a few times looking to find a better place only to be hitting a wall & I don't want to go so far as to sell our home move off (out of state if need be) change everything to find things worse than they are here. I would like to stay close to the area so visiting family wouldn't be a week vacation lol. Thinking about the surrounding states. I like the Southern Mo. area, NW Arkansas seems to be booming right now, Tulsa, OK is on the list my Brother in law lives there & could probably help me get a job the cost of living seems about the same as here but job pay is higher. I've been on the net past few days looking for cities towns in these areas & trying to compare but I thought I would ask on here how it is where you live even if you don't live in this 4 state area.

06-19-2012, 04:28 PM #2In Utah the jobs are few and far between and most companies prefer to hire undocumented workers than USA citizens. Since Arizona and California have been cracking down on undocumented individuals many are running to Utah who speaks with Forked tongue. Utah actually harbors the undocumented and provides benefits to them they don't to USA citizens. Wages are generally lower here than other states and insurance is higher. Depending on your occupational skills one can make good income.
I hear North Dakota and Wyoming are booming with the oil business and pay is excellent. However housing is difficult to find.

"If He asks you to go a mile go two"
06-21-2012, 09:41 AM #3Small country towns like the one I grew up in made me the hard working guy I am today. There have been opportunities for me to work in an office and put my technical skills to use, but I refuse to work in an environment where I can't sweat and move and work with my hands. I grew up basically on a farm and my father was a hard worker, all of my friends that I grew up with are the exact same way and I have to drive 45 miles to Waco just to get the feeling of a "city".
There are times that it sucks, and it's usually in the extreme weather conditions..like 110 degree weather with no clouds, but I wouldn't trade it in for anything.
The reason I shared that with you all is because, that's what a small town can offer. A well rounded man that works hard for what he has, and that's what that small town has to offer your children. You have some land; put it to use my friend.
My father always told me to never sell our land because you cannot make land and it's always sought after, especially in oil rich Texas.
"Never ask a man if he's from Texas. If he is, he'll tell you. If he isn't, there is no need to embarrass him."

I got into bad things way to young in life and it was because of wear I live everyone's doing it. If I was you'd I'd plant you some crop. I'm getting a college degree and once I'm done I'm moving to the family farm and never leaving. I'll build everything I'll ver need there.

06-21-2012, 03:40 PM #5I recommend that you avoid Missouri like the plague. There's a bad meth problem in that state (it's the meth lab capital of the country) and there is both crime and gangs to go with it. The translation for you should be that your kids -will- be exposed to this if you choose to raise them, there. I say that as someone who lived 40 mins south of MO (in Overland Park, KS ... just outside Kansas City, Kansas) ... and who was in MO at least once a week. I also regularly visited Fort Leonard Wood, MO from time to time ... and the military folks I knew there (all of whom were MP's) said the civilian story, nearby, wasn't much different.

06-21-2012, 07:10 PM #7My green thumb is actually a death blow to plants I've tried a garden and was able to raise dirt. Have been thinking about fencing off my property line & either getting some goats (more expencive fencing) to help clear out alot of the area or get a cow or 2 to raise & sell or slaughter, I know this home is a good place to raise my kids because of the bad influences of city life. I am a laboring type of worker I refuse to be a manager because I would rather labor work than paperwork. Just going to take alot to get everything started out. As far as Missouri being the Meth capital of the country my little county Is second in command I see more people doing the "Crank walk" than I see normal people. One of the major reason I don't have alot of friends. I have 2.75 ac my house is not in the center of it its closer to the side. According to the property map I got when we had the house built the property is about 350ft square. The is a bar ditch or like a large drainage ditch that has alot of under growth & trees arround it but it snakes arround the other side of my land. I've been planning to have a small pond dug in this ditch because there is a natural bank just need to build the rest & make sure it drains & doesn't back up into my neighbors pasture, where the ditch begins. Back in my HighSchool days my Dad & I were pig farmers but we just raised them for shows & such. I didn't really like it at the time but looking back I'm glad we did this I did enjoy my FFA days but wished I was more into mechanics then like I am now. Anyways Thanks everyone for the advice I'm going to look into getting the fence built, if I still deside to sell it doesn't hurt the value of the home.

Depends on what kind of work you and your wife do. If she works. I live in Roanoke,VA. Economy seems to be doing good here for the most part. Cost of living isnt high and pay seems decent. I have been here since 98 working as a diesel mechanic. My wife works for the hospital so we make due on bills and have a few dollars to our name. We actually live in a small town on the outskirts of the city. I am 15-20 min from shopping and anything else. Id reccomend someone living here but as you stated.......its not in your 4 state local! check out our paper www.jobs.roanoke.com and check out craigslist jobs under Roanoke,VA. Never know......may be your home away from home!!!!

The UNO softball team will get a second shot at beating Nebraska.
The teams met last week in Lincoln, with the Huskers rallying for a 3-2 victory.
Because of unplayable field conditions in Omaha, Wednesday's 5 p.m. game was moved to Bowlin Stadium in Lincoln.
Admission is free because of the venue and date change.
No. 24 Nebraska (22-6) has won 11 of 12 games. The Huskers faced two Summit League opponents last week, defeating UNO and splitting a doubleheader with North Dakota State.
Because of weather postponements, last week's loss to NU is the only game the Mavericks (22-3) have played since March 10. They are averaging 6.2 runs per game.

The sheer size of legacy mailboxes at the Environmental Protection Agency — some of them with more than a million messages in them — threatened the agency's transition to Office 365, Microsoft's cloud-based collaboration and communication service.
EPA officials discovered that hitch as they worked with Lockheed Martin and Microsoft to move 25,000 employee mailboxes to Microsoft Office 365 for Government, a multitenant service that stores U.S. government data in a segregated community cloud and includes e-mail, calendars, scheduling and collaboration tools for internal and external use.
"EPA wanted an extremely aggressive migration schedule," said Lynn Singleton, director of environment services for Lockheed Martin. "I don't know if they understood what they were really asking for when it came to the amount of work that had to occur over the relatively short amount of time," Singleton said.
EPA officials brought in Lockheed Martin in September 2012 and wanted the primary migration to be completed by early 2013. Migration work was completed over the Presidents' Day holiday weekend in February, Singleton said. The move to Office 365 is expected to save the EPA approximately $12 million over the four-year contract period.
EPA managers had done a lot of preliminary work to prepare for the migration, performing outreach and communication efforts to make the employees aware of the transition and dealing with governance issues. But an unexpected hurdle was the size of many of the mailboxes that needed to be transitioned, which forced EPA and Lockheed to rethink how to approach the migration midway through the project.
For 15 years, EPA employees had used IBM Lotus Notes as an enterprise e-mail system. The agency didn't have a size limit on mailboxes to trigger purging or archiving of information. Some of the larger mailboxes had over a million objects in them. In all, the mailboxes contained a very large universe of information, representing about 90 terabytes of data, Singleton said.
Initially, EPA wanted to transition all of the mailboxes along with their information to the cloud. "But the throughput requirements of that, just the physical constraints, were such that we could not do it," Singleton said. If the team proceeded as planned there would have been network latency problems. Plus, the team determined that they could not handle the quantity of information with the migration tool they had selected. "So we did a number of things to try to get our arms around the magnitude of the migration," Singleton said.
The Lockheed team broke up the mailboxes into size categories — small, medium, large and enormous — and began to clean them out and archive material. There were about 700 to 1,200 "enormous" mailboxes, and some mailboxes could not be migrated because they were corrupted due to large attachments or other issues. So the team weeded out mailboxes with large attachments and archived legacy information that was older than a year.
In addition to e-mail, the migration involved other mail-related components such as the movement of calendars, rooms and resources, groups, mail and databases as well as about 4,500 BlackBerry cell phones. Each of these components had to be treated as a separate entity by the migration tool, Singleton said. The team used a migration tool from Quest Software, which is now a part of Dell.
"You want to be sure that your calendar is up to date, so calendaring is another big issue." Moving e-mail groups adds more complexity to the equation because of "nesting," or groups within groups. "So we had 16,800 groups to migrate," Singleton said. "We did a lot of piloting," he said. EPA's Office of Environmental Information agreed to serve as a test case, giving Lockheed the opportunity to move small groups of users in a test environment.
The testing prepared Lockheed to begin what Singleton calls "differential migration," in which the IT team took a large number of mailboxes — initially around 12,000 — and migrated them into the multitenant cloud with 15 days of mail. The team then moved the remaining mailboxes with 15 days of e-mail without turning the service on. This allowed the team to check the mailboxes for problems before the big migration over the Presidents' Day weekend.
This approach cut down on the quantity of mail that had to be migrated and the "pre-touching of things made the main migration more predictable," Singleton said. "That was responsible in large part for our success."
For agencies with aggressive schedules to transition e-mail to the cloud, Singleton advises managers to be aware that the actual migration might be far more complex than originally envisioned. Do not view the move to cloud computing as just a commodity bid, he said. Take into account that there are related business practices, engineering and technical work and processes that must be addressed for a successful migration. Often, agency managers don't realize the amount of work involved in getting ready for the transition to the cloud, he noted.

Shocking...email is down AGAIN...
Another day, another outage...the cloud is awesome...NOT!
LM and Microsoft still have no idea how to make Lync work for people with apostrophes in their names, and it's only been 4 months.
This new mail system is awesome. For the third time in two months the system is not operational and there are widespread outages. "Cloud" sounds cool but it is nowhere as reliable as our old mail system. I cannot recommend cloud email and definitely cannot recommend Lockheed Martin to help you with your transition.
"I don't know if they understood what they were really asking for..." That's funny because EPA put in the offer for the contract EXACTLY what they wanted, both the quantity of data and the timeframe. It wasn't until a few months after winning the contract that LM finally fessed up they couldn't do it.

Hip-Hop Summit Action Network: Decade of Progress
Young people today in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, the Caribbean and yes here in North America are less patient with poverty, injustice and the status quo. They want change not only in their poetry and lyrics, but also young people yearn and cry out for a better quality of life now in their lifetime. They are demanding change, and young people today are making change a socioeconomic and political reality. Just two years ago, it was here in the United States that young voters made the critical difference in the outcome of the election of President Barack H. Obama. No one should ever ignore or forget the fact that it was the unprecedented youth voter turnout in 2008 in North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and in Ohio as well as in the other "swing states" that helped to bring current "political change" to America. Millions of young voters registered and went to the polls for the first or second time in their lives.
This week marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network (HSAN). For three days, June 12-14, 2001, inside the New York City Hilton, hip-hop artists from every region of the nation, managers, promoters, recording industry executives, media publishers, civil rights and community leaders, grassroots activists, academic and spiritual leaders, and members of the U.S. Congress all gathered together to participate in the pivotal and historic summit meeting under the theme of "Taking back responsibility."
As a result of the success of the summit, Russell Simmons and I co-founded the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network to harness the cultural relevance of hip-hop music to serve as a catalyst for education advocacy and other socioeconomic and political concerns fundamental to the empowerment of youth. In other words, HSAN was founded to carry out and to fulfill the commitments made at the 2001 summit and to organize and mobilize the growing hip-hop constituency to be agents and leaders for fundamental change in our communities across America. It has been a decade of unstoppable struggle and progress.
From 2001 to 2010, HSAN has sponsored more than 75 Hip-Hop Summits in cities in the states of New York, California, Texas, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, Washington, D.C., Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, Kansas, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Mississippi. We also convened Hip-Hop Summits in Toronto, Canada; Kinston, Jamaica; and in Johannesburg, South Africa. HSAN continues to be a non-profit, non-partisan international coalition of hip-hop artists, entertainment industry leaders, education advocates, civil and human rights proponents, and youth leaders united in the belief that hip-hop is an enormously influential agent for social change which must be responsibly and proactively utilized to fight the war on poverty and injustice.
From Jay Z to Eminem, from Naz to Erykah-Badu, from Beyonce to Master P, from Snoop Dog to Busta Rhymes, from Will Smith to Kanye West, from Dougie Fresh to Foxy Brown, from Jim Jones to Julez Santana, from Chris Brown to Fat Joe, from Tego Calderon to Don Omar, and from Missy Elliot to TI along with more than 300 other artists all of whom gave of their time, energy, money and support to help HSAN make a positive difference. Whether it was "Get Your Vote Right" to "Get Your Money Right" to "Get Your House Right," or successfully challenging the repressive Rockefeller Drug Laws or rallying to restore $300 million to the NYC public school budget, the hip-hop community always rose to the agenda with direct action and support.
But the best way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Hip-Hop Summit Network is to continue to raise more awareness and involvement of young people in every state in the U.S. and in every nation in the global community to demand more "progressive" change. There are strong winds of repression now blowing from those who want to deny the future advancement of humanity. 2012 is fast approaching in the United States and the Tea Party is gearing up to take America backward. HSAN along with the Hip-Hop Caucus and other organizations will have to mobilize once again. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Republican National Committee should both be challenged to ensure a large youth voter turnout in 2012. If we have learned anything during the past 10 years, it is that all of us should be willing to give more and do more to insure freedom, justice, equality, and empowerment for all.
Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr. is Senior Advisor for the Black Alliance for Educational Options (BAEO) and President of Education Online Services Corporation.

I am going to go into work tonight for appearances on SportsCentre and That's Hockey and they're going to ask me about the Arron Asham-Jay Beagle fight last night.
Which is fine, that's what I get paid to do. No problem.
I was asked to talk about it last night, within minutes of it happening, on the NHL on TSN panel and that was fine too. Here's what we said about it.
But I knew damn well the shelf life on this story would easily carry over to today as it's what we like to refer to as the obvious "water-cooler talk." That and the fact the media loves to blow up stories like this. Oops, did I just say that out loud?
But here's the problem I always run into: What exactly is the story on Asham-Beagle anyway?
Some hockey fans -- not a lot, but some -- would tell you there's no story at all, not last night and certainly not today. That Beagle, a hard-working depth player who is still trying to establish himself as an everyday NHLer, took liberties where he shouldn't have, cuffing Pittsburgh's excellent defenceman Kris Letang in the head and knocking off Letang's helmet. And that Pittsburgh tough guy Asham, with 80-plus NHL fights on his www.hockeyfights.com resume, did exactly what he's supposed to do in that situation, go over and "deter" Beagle from ever doing that to Letang or any skilled Penguin player again. It is, they maintain, the very reason there is fighting in hockey. Asham asked Beagle to dance, Beagle accepted the invitation and in the tried and true traditions of the game, they squared up, dropped their gloves and settled their differences like real men. Asham knocked out Beagle, Asham celebrated the KO the way Alexander Ovechkin would celebrate a goal and that'll teach Jay Beagle a lesson not to mess with Letang. Story, what story?
I might be inclined to suggest that's a somewhat ignorant view (well, certainly the part endorsing the KO celebration), especially considering the gravity of Beagle's injury at the time. But if Twitter is a useful public opinion tool, and it is, you may be surprised at how many responses I got which reflected precisely that school of thought.
Many more hockey fans, those who do fervently believe fighting has a place in the game, see Beagle-Asham as outlined above, that all of it, including the knockout punch, are things that happen in a hockey game and there was no problem until such time that Asham -- still running on adrenaline after his bout of bare knuckle, hand-to-hand combat -- took a page out of the pro wrestling handbook and did the washout/go to sleep gesture. The fans who champion fighting as part of the game attach a huge level of honor to it and Asham's post-fight gestures were dishonorable. They dishonored him, they dishonored Beagle, they dishonored the game. But since Asham was the first to admit all of that immediately after the game -- giving what appeared to be a sincere and heartfelt apology for allowing his emotions to get the best of him and making "classless" gestures -- it's time we all moved now. Nothing else to see here. Some of the fans who are, say, more middle of the road when it comes to fighting in the NHL, the ones who can take it or leave it but don't have any ridiculously strong feelings one way or the other, maintain that Asham, even though he apologized, needs to be fined or suspended, that one must be responsible for his actions and Asham's actions were definitely out of line and the league must take a stand.
Many other fans, though, who aren't in favor of fighting in hockey, and I would suggest a significant segment of the media who cover the game fall into this category, would ask the following question and ask it in a very pointed fashion: How can a league that, lately anyway, is hellbent on using suspensions to get headshots out of the game in order to minimize concussions and promote player safety possibly rationalize or endorse the Asham-Beagle fight as "part of the game" and be okay with it?
Whatever your stance on fighting in hockey, you have to admit, it's a pretty good question. Or maybe in the interest of fairness, let's call it a "logical" question.
I mean, if an alien landed a spaceship and started watching hockey for the first time and noticed that James Wisniewski got an eight-game suspension for hitting Cal Clutterbuck in the head, the alien might ask: Why is the Wiz being suspended?
The answer would be that concussions are a serious problem, that players have to learn to respect each other more and the league is trying to protect players' brains and make it a safer game. Then the alien would watch Asham punch Beagle in the face and knock him unconscious.
How many games, the alien might ask, will Asham be suspended?
None, unless the league decided to suspend him for making the post-fight gestures.
The alien then might ask: Wait a minute, I thought you said the league is trying to protect players' brains, teach them to respect each other more and make it a safer game. And let me get this straight, those who do want Asham suspended want it to be for making some gestures after the fight is over? That Beagle's brain trauma is fine and dandy, but the "now I lay me down to sleep" gesture Asham did is the real problem?
Uh, yeah....pretty much.
Suffice to say, hockey has never been a logical game.
The Asham-Beagle fight, graphic as it was, comes along a very interesting time for the game.
There is, obviously, the highly-publicized crackdown on head shots, but with the tragic deaths of three NHL players this summer who largely plied their trade by dropping the gloves, it most certainly put fighting in hockey back on the agenda for many.
I am not here to tell you the deaths of Derek Boogaard, Rick Rypien and Wade Belak were linked to their occupations as NHL pugilists. I am not here to tell their deaths aren't linked to their roles as fighters. It's a complex issue.
But at the very least, it raised a concern, a question and for those who are anti-fighting or who believe in the absurd incongruity of penalizing headshots but permitting fighting, it's a perfect time to champion the anti-fighting cause.
There is a sense, certainly in many media circles, that the window of opportunity to wage the campaign against fighting has never been more wide open than right now, especially when new NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan was doing a pre-season interview with the CBC's Peter Mansbridge and on a question about fighting, answered something to the effect of the NHL is "looking" at it.
There were never any specifics offered at the time as to what exactly the NHL was "looking" at and there's been nothing since. Some took it to mean the NHL is seriously considering the future of fighting. It got people a little excited.
To which I would say, they're not really looking at anything. Not looking too hard anyway. I took it as a general response for Shanahan to get out of having to deal specifically with the incongruity of a headshot crackdown and fighting in the game.
It doesn't matter whether you're pro fighting or anti fighting, I would strongly suggest this "sense" that the future of fighting is front and centre on the table for discussion couldn't be further from reality. Oh, it is amongst media and fans, but not by any of the constituencies actually involved. I don't care that Don Cherry feels the need to tell us how much he loves fighting and I don't care whether (pick any newspaper columnist who's anti-fighting and there are sooooo many to choose from) thinks it's a blight on the game and civilized society. It doesn't matter what my personal views (conflicted and complex is the short answer) on fighting are. All I really care about is whether there's been any actual movement or consideration of this issue from those whose opinions actually count for something.
I am thoroughly convinced -- in spite of the summertime deaths of the enforcers, the intense concern over brain trauma and the sickening sight of Jay Beagle on the ice last night -- there is little or no anti-fighting movement amongst most of the players who play the game, most of the coaches who coach it, most of the managers who manage it, most of the owners who own it or the league executives who with input from the various constituencies set the agenda on how the game is played.
Actually, I believe there was probably greater anti-fighting sentiment a couple of years ago when the league's GMs proposed stiffer penalties for "staged" fights, a proposal that never saw the light of day because the NHL Players' Association, at the urging of its membership, smacked it down as hard as Asham hit Beagle last night.
The truth is as long as the game is played the anti-fighting crowd is going to knock heads with the pro-fighting crowd and every bout like Asham-Beagle will become a referendum on the larger issue on the future of fisticuffs.
So I hope you'll pardon me for excusing myself from the debate, because I have to tell you that this widely-held notion that fighting is now legitimately on the table for discussion and debate because of the summertime tragedies, the headshot crackdown and concussions concerns...well, I think it's all an illusion and the league -- from the players who play the game to those who sit in league headquarters and everyone in between -- are no closer to questioning the role of fighting in the game than they ever have.
Maybe that will change one day. Maybe all the media and/or fan debates on the issue will eventually effect change. Maybe.
In the meantime, my more immediate concern is I know at work tonight they're going to ask me about Asham-Beagle and given all that I've laid out here, I'm not sure how I'm going to answer the question in the 45 seconds they give me.
Maybe I'll just say I'm looking into it.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"The web site was very easy to use. So many beautiful products to choose from. I am the mother of the groom, so when I was planning our family shower, and then went looking for a shower invite, I did not want anything too feminine. I simply typed in coed shower and many popped up. This one was perfect because of the colors, blue and green and Mr. and Mrs. Next we have the rehearsal dinner to plan, and there are many, many beautiful ones. Must nail down date and time before I can order. Thanks"
"Everything about this invitation was just beautiful! The pearlized paper added a WOW factor. Wedding Paper Divas fretted about the clarity of the picture I submitted, but they did a first class job! The company was so accommodating & helpful in making my project a reality! Everyone just raved about how beautiful & delicate & perfect!"
"Everyone including the bride-to-be loved this invite. Get the designer review! It's free & well worth the extra day. The designer that reviewed my invite did an absolutely excellent job! It really made a difference in how the invite looked. I highly recommend these invites."
"I sampled the pink and purple, which were both great, but I chose the purple (it being my part of my wedding colors). I also opted for the rounded corners and the pearl sheen, both are a must!!! The select people I have shown loved it..."
"This product could not be any better! I purchased the larger rectangle envelopes because they did not require extra postage. I was worried it wouldn't look right, but the evnvelopes are specially designed to fit the invitation."

A peek inside a new HP Netbook and ultrathin
Small laptops aren't necessarily getting any smaller, but they are getting more powerful. Here's a quick look at the power-efficient engines purring inside the latest laptops from Hewlett-Packard.
The newest welterweight laptops from HP, introduced on Wednesday, offer more than flashy new skins. Inside is Intel's newest chip technology that offers more performance without a significant hit to battery life.
First up is the 3-pound Mini 210. This Netbook offers, for the first time, a dual-core Atom processor, a break from a long line of single-core-only Atom Netbook processors. Dual-core processors are better at handling multiple data streams than single-core processors and thus boost performance significantly for certain applications.
Despite having two cores, Intel's 1.5GHz Atom N550 has a thermal envelope of only 8.5 watts, only two more watts than its single-core N455 cousin. And this thermal envelope is even more impressive when you consider the fact that it also includes the 200MHz graphics chip, which is built onto the same piece of silicon as the main processor.
HP claims up to 10.75 hours of battery life with a six-cell battery. That said, even if HP is overstating battery life, anything within the ball park of eight to ten hours is decent for a Windows dual-core laptop.
The HP Mini 210 is available in the United States with a starting price of $329.

Great bargain for the price, well tailored and fits well
I bought the blazer for my husband who has always worn a 42R.....this jacket did not fit exactly as well as his other blazers. It was a great value for the money and I would definitely buy another but maybe just go up one size.
nice blazer for everyday and for meetings...color is dark navy with dark pewter buttoms..arrivee quickly and well packaged...fit is perfect for me, no alterations at all required...fit right out of the box....
I brought this item as one of my husbands Anniversary gifts and he LOVED it! He requested that I order more in additional colors.... Unfortunately it only comes in one. :-(.
Great Value and very comfortable. My wife has her own sewing machine and knows her materials. She was impressed with the qualiity of this blazer.
My husband likes it when I gave it to him for a present. He loves the color& chick design esp. he doesn't have this color yet. Can be worn casual or formal. Can't keep my eyes out of him now:)

Visitors flock to St Andrews Castle during the festive season
7 January 2011
Visitors have flocked to St. Andrews Castle over the Christmas and New Year period.
Admission figures between 24th December and 4th January, saw a 92% increase in visitor numbers compared to the same period last year. Numbers were highest on the 30th and 31st December as visitors took the opportunity to take in the site in the run up to the New Year celebrations.
The figures round off an impressive twelve months for the heritage sector with Historic Scotland, who run the castle and another 77 attractions across Scotland recently announcing their best April - September on record.
Fiona Hyslop, Minister for Culture and External Affairs said;
"The Christmas and New Year period is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy Scotland's stunning built heritage.
"Scotland continues to be a 'must-see' destination at this time of year, so it is fantastic to see this reflected in visitor numbers at St. Andrews Castle.
"These figures are testament to the continued appeal of our heritage attractions and the hard work of staff to provide a world class experience. It is fantastic to end the year in such a positive position and rounds off an exceptional 12 months for the sector."
The castle, which was the main residence of the bishops and archbishops of St Andrews and formed the focal point of the Church in Medieval Scotland, has an enduring popularity with visitors and ranks amongst Historic Scotland's top ten sites on an annual basis.
Stephen Duncan, Head of Commercial and Visitor Operations for Historic Scotland added;
"We are delighted that the castle has enjoyed such a successful Christmas and New Year in terms of visitor numbers.
"Despite the extreme weather throughout much of December, the site has performed extremely well over the festive season, mirroring what has been a hugely successful season to date.
"The extended Christmas holiday period has attracted both domestic and overseas visitors drawn by the town's history, which continues to entice with its connection to the upcoming royal wedding."
Historic Scotland has 345 outstanding historic properties and sites in its care. These include some of the leading tourism attractions in the country, including Edinburgh, Stirling, and Urquhart Castles, Fort George, Linlithgow Palace, the Border Abbeys, and Skara Brae.

The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, State Library of Pennsylvania, and the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania have large collections of cemetery and burial records. Copies of many of their records are also at the Family History Library.
The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) collection contains tombstone inscriptions from many Pennsylvania cemeteries. This collection is described in the "Genealogy" section. Another important collection is Cemetery Records of Pennsylvania, 9 vols.

A county-by-county list of cemetery record transcripts available at the Family History Library is found under The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Family History Library (Salt Lake City, Utah), Index to United States Cemeteries (Salt Lake City: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1988; Family History Library films 1206468-94).

Analytics firms agree on August resurgence for Microsoft IE
StatCounter and Net Applications disagree about the best way to measure browser usage, but for August, they agreed on one thing: Microsoft's Internet Explorer had something of a resurgence.
The two firms use different methodology to measure browser usage -- for example, StatCounter measures all page views to its network of Web sites while Net Applications only counts one per day to try to measure users more than usage. As a result, StatCounter names Google's 5-year-old Chrome as the top browser, but Net Applications gives the honor to IE.
For August, though, IE looked better off in both … Read more

I am a technical recruiter in the Greater Puget Sound area, and I feel this would be a great place to post my clients' needs.
Is it acceptable to post jobs in this forum?
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
If you post job advertisments, or any advertisment really, on Stack Overflow not only will your post be deleted quickly, but if you continue to do so you will be banned from the site. Stack Overflow already has a job board you might consider using, although they may have special rules for recruiters, so make sure you understand before you post: |
The job board's great, though - I've found a ton of great candidates with it, always passionate about tech, know their stuff, and no jerks. Which is awesome, in and of itself. |
No, stackoverflow is meant for programming help and questions. Not for job postings. |
Hopefully not. This would kill this place and make it unusable because of all the spammy irrelevant posts. |
