Google on it, and lots of results will come up. If you stick around here, you'll see alphas come up from time to time in the Daily Downloads. Join in on the Daily Download Rewind program, and you can get some of those older offerings for free.
thanks hunnie,
just attempting my first siggy xx
Can't wait to see your siggy! =)
another way to get an alpha is to pick your favorite font, and enlarge it
I usually make the font really large, copy that, rasterize the layer, and then add a stroke in a contrasting color to it.
i use the original text layer, move it on top of the new stroked/rasterized layer, and then add a slight shadow
it is a quick and easy way to do some title work or add an alpha-like text to your pages
have fun with your siggie :)
Hello I'm new to this fabulous web site.
The quick tutorial re: creating Alpha's sounds so interesting.
As a newbie to digital scrapping and using Photoshop 7.0, is there a tutorial in length showing exactly what or where to find things such as rasterizing, adding strokes and shadows? I'm up with the play on how to place text, pick a font and size it, but the rest just blows me away. I would so love to learn :biggrin:
Many thanks
Welcome....glad to have you aboard.
Here a a link to the Tutorial section here at GDS. It should get you started at least. I don't think there is a specific one on Liz's technique for creating an alpha title, but start with these tuts and see if they help you get the hang of Photoshop 7.
Thanks for the help & guidance to the tutorials, they're great:bow2me: I'm getting stuck in to these....no one will drag me away from this computor until I know the basics..lol

How We Work
Platform established for citizens to voice opinions on quality of public service delivery
In Bangladesh, public participation to uphold government accountability is being built through new mechanisms for feedback on public services. The project Qos Reporting by Beneficiaries has mobilized communities in three localities to report on the quality of public services through a web portal, including through the use of mobile phones. The project has engaged over 7,200 stakeholders, including local citizens, journalists, civil society and service providers primarily in Barisal, Panchagarh, Rajshahi and 10 other districts inBangladesh. Public officials have agreed to systematically respond to citizen reports on gaps in services; citizen groups have formed to monitor progress. Similar systems are now being set up in six other locations in the country and are expected to eventually serve additional functions, such as to monitor elections, and collect and disseminate information on natural disasters.
Implementation of an enhanced policing strategy to improve crime prevention
In Mauritius, the project From Police Force to Police Service: Supporting the Transition through Strategic Planning and Organizational Change Management assisted in the formulation of the National Policing Strategic Framework. A comprehensive road map, it covers fundamentals such as strategic planning capabilities, improved community police work and greater public accountability. A Police Reform and Strategic Planning Unit was subsequently set up to implement the framework. By early 2011, reforms were well underway, including steps to strengthen investigative capacities, upgrade human resources management and design local crime prevention strategies.
Top rankings for sub-national governments piloting transparency measures in Colombia
Significant results have stemmed from anti-corruption efforts with sub-national governments in Colombia, under the project Transparency in Public Administration at a Territorial Level. In the district of Cartagena and the department of Santander, local officials developed a diagnostic tool to measure transparency, and instituted monthly monitoring and analyses. Under a Transparency Pact signed with the national government, Cartagena and Santander were subsequently able to fulfill 95 percent of agreed commitments. Transparency committees were formed as sites for dialogue between public officials and civil society groups. By the end of 2010, Cartagena and Santander were in the top rankings in a transparency index prepared by Transparency Colombia.
First bi-communal media partnership in Cyprus
The DGTTF supported project Cyprus Community Media Centre, has allowed a consortium of 30 civil society groups from both sides of a long standing communal divide to explore the contributions media can make to peacebuilding. A mapping exercise analysed a complex media landscape, assessing differences between public and private media in the Turkish and Greek Cypriot communities, and probing how media outlets make decisions that diminish or reinforce communal tensions. One early initiative brought together a Turkish Cypriot radio station and a Greek Cypriot radio station in the first bicommunal media partnership — a mobile broadcasting unit administered by both stations. ATurkish Cypriot broadcaster has debuted a programme dedicated to civil society and extensive media coverage of the project has advanced public debate on the role of the media in conflict and peace.
Shift to issue-based political party platforms with focus on MDGs
A DGTTF-assisted project in Lesotho, Political Party Strengthening for Achievement of the MDGs, helped persuade all 22 political parties, during a sensitive electoral season, to move away from traditional personality-focused campaigns, by integrating Millennium Development Goals (MDG) commitments into party manifestos. Training on the MDGs has been received and perceived as a neutral offering, and became a well-attended opportunity for party members to learn about the goals. Parties are now considering how they can position MDG-related development priorities in their platforms, in preparation for the 2011 and 2012 elections. Project outreach to media houses has assisted parties in debating MDG issues with live audiences.
Support to local economic development options with focus on women's initiatives
Governance institutions at both the central and local levels need to be equipped to work together on fostering sustainable local economic development, as one of the most fundamental conditions for achieving the MDGs. This was the objective of a DGTTF-funded initiative in the occupied Palestinian Territory, Promoting Local Economic Development. The project is working with the Ministry of Local Government in reviewing overarching policy options to revive local economies and involve the private sector in service delivery. It also assists local governments in defining specific ways to bolster economic development in the face of widespread poverty and high unemployment. Partnerships with Nablus Municipality and the Center for Women's Affairs have resulted in support to women's economic empowerment.

text: I decided this morning. It was a bit sore yesterday. I came in today, saw the physios, they did some work on it, and it's still a bit sore. I did a little warmup on the bike to try it out and it was still sore. I had to make a decision as to what I was going to do.I spoke with the guys and decided the best thing was to rest and try and make sure I can actually let my body kind of adjust to the surface.I'll be able to get as much treatment as possible. I wasn't able to to do anything to adjust to the surface (from Olympic grass) and get used to the movement at all.I'll be able to do that and give it a few days and see how it feels.The hard courts, for me anyway, are the hardest on my body. It always takes me a bit of time to get used to playing on them again. I hope it doesn't affect the next few weeks too much.Now I have to take a couple days off without playing, so this (injury) may have set me back slightly.

Brother Joseph
Unlike many Mormons, I can't get on the Joseph Smith veneration bandwagon. But I still deeply appreciate this complex man.
As a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I found Joseph Smith to be a stumbling block. Reared an authority-phobic Protestant, I knew problems arise when one person claims to be the definitive speaker for God. Mormons talked about him in such reverential terms, refer to him in one long honorific as "The Prophet Joseph Smith." They sometimes sing songs about him--even in worship services!--praising "the man who communed with Jehovah":
. Praise to his memory, he died as a martyr;
Honored and blest be his ever great name!
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assassins,
Plead unto heaven while the earth lauds his fame.
As an Illinoisan, I clenched when I learned that the original words to that verse, written not long after the assassination of Joseph Smith in Carthage, Ill., in 1844, were "Long shall the blood which was shed by assassins, stain Illinois .."
While I was assured by church members that Mormons don't worship Joseph Smith, I was (and still am) squeamish at the constant exaltations. I shy from endorsing anything that carries a whiff of displacing God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost as worthy of our highest praise. I am grateful. I can't adequately articulate my appreciation for Joseph Smith's role in the "founding miracles" of the Restoration of the Gospel, the priesthood, and the Book of Mormon (see R.L. Bushman). But I can't get on the "exalt the Prophet Joseph Smith" bandwagon. As a Mormon by commitment, covenant, and conversion, this makes me a bit of an odd duck. But then again, so was Joseph Smith. That's what draws me to him, in fact.
Back in the early 1980s odd letters began emerging about folk magic and "white salamanders" having influenced Joseph Smith, and many in the church were horrified at the besmirching of his character. How satisfying to then discover that these letters were fakes placed by Mark Hofmann, forger, bomber, and murderer, intent on discrediting the church's history.
But the truth remains that Joseph Smith was accustomed to the folk magic of his rural 19th-century culture. In his early years he had been a "treasure seeker." He was familiar with the concept of looking through stones or using "divining rods" to locate things and learn. Knowing these things about him doesn't diminish him in my eyes; they make him more real and knowable, not whitewashed and "prettified." In fact, as Richard Bushman, and scholar and LDS member, says in his new biography "Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling" (p. 131), "Neither his education nor his Christian upbringing prepared Joseph to translate a book, but the magic culture may have.... Practice with his scrying stones carried over to translation of the gold plates. In fact, as work on the Book of Mormon proceeded, a seerstone.aid[ed] in the work, blending magic with inspired translation."

Formal Opinion 1995-9
May 31, 1995
TOPIC: Firm Names; Letterhead.
DIGEST: Partners of one law firm may form a second law firm bearing the same name in another jurisdiction. A lawyer may be "of counsel" to one law firm while an active name partner in another law firm. A law partnership may retain in its firm name the name of a partner who has retired from the partnership but remains "of counsel" while actively practicing in a firm having the same partners in another jurisdiction.
CODE: DRs 2-102(B), 2-102(D).
1. May the partners of a New York law firm form a second firm bearing the same name in another jurisdiction?
2. May someone be "of counsel" to one firm while an active, name partner in another law firm?
3. May a law partnership retain in its firm name the name of a partner who has retired from the partnership but remains of counsel while actively practicing in a firm having the same partners in another jurisdiction?
The law firm of A B & C (NY) is a New York partnership whose firm name consists of the names of three of its partners. One of these name partners, "Partner C," resides in Washington, D.C. Partner C, motivated by tax considerations, is considering "retiring" from the partnership of A B & C (NY), becoming "of counsel" to the firm, and becoming a partner in a newly-formed partnership in Washington, D.C. consisting of Partner C and all of the partners of A B & C (NY) and called "A B & C (DC)".
It is not per se improper for attorneys to be members of two partnerships, in two jurisdictions, with overlapping memberships. N.Y. City 82-33; N.Y. State 231 (1972); ABA Inf. 1253 (1972). Here, in particular, there is no reason why the partners of the New York firm cannot also be partners of the D.C. firm at the same time. Similarly, it is possible, although not usual, for a lawyer to satisfy the requirements to serve as both a partner in one firm and "of counsel" to another. See N.Y. City 81-54 ("Only in unusual circumstances may a lawyer properly be designated as a partner in one law firm and 'of counsel' to another"); see generally N.Y. City 1995-8; ABA 90-357 (lawyer must have "close, regular, personal relationship" with a firm to be "of counsel" to it); Philadelphia 89-19 (lawyer who is a partner in one law firm also may be either a partner in or "of counsel" to another law firm). This situation appears to present the type of "unusual circumstances" in which such a double designation would be permissible. It is likely that Partner C's "continuing" relationship with A B & C (NY) will be significantly more than merely nominal, since A B & C (NY) and A B & C (DC) are likely to be closely affiliated. If that is true, then Partner C could qualify as "of counsel" to the New York firm while serving as a partner in A B & C (DC).
Under DR 2-102(B), a lawyer may not practice under a firm name that is misleading about the identity of the lawyers practicing under such name. The partners of A B & C (NY) may form a second law firm in another jurisdiction bearing the same name, and Partner C's name may be kept in the New York firm's name, only if those arrangements are not intended to mislead the public and do not have that effect. N.Y. City 82-33; N.Y. City 81-104. Based on the facts as presented, the proposed naming will not be misleading.
The naming of A B & C (DC) appears clearly accurate, since all three named partners will be members of that firm. The New York firm should also be able to keep Partner C's name, even though he is no longer a partner of that firm, since Partner C will remain as counsel to A B & C (NY). There is no requirement that a firm's name consist exclusively of partners; a person's continuing "of counsel" relationship with the firm is enough. DR 2-102(B) ("A lawyer in private practice shall not practice under... a firm name containing names other than those of one or more of the lawyers in the firm."); Nassau County 92-4 (firm name may include name of withdrawing partner who continues to practice law provided withdrawing partner maintains "of counsel" relationship with firm).
In this respect, the proposed arrangement represents a departure from the usual principle that inclusion in a partnership's name of a partner who is not "deceased" and who, although nominally "retired," is still practicing law elsewhere, is likely to violate DR 2-102(B) because the firm title may be "misleading." N.Y. City 40 (1926) (including in firm name lawyer who continues practice of law in another firm is likely to mislead clients and others); Iowa 91-5 (law firm may continue to use the name of a partner who is retiring from the practice but will continue to visit the office on occasion and offer advice to remaining lawyers, provided that the retiring lawyer does not practice law in another firm or in sole practice). Here, so long as Partner C continues to maintain a close, regular, personal relationship with A B & C (NY), it is unlikely that the public or the firm's clients will be misled about the nature or scope of Partner C's position because A B & C (NY) continues to include him in its name. See Nassau County 91-22 (firm may continue use of retired partner's name so long as public not misled, and letterhead clearly sets forth professional status of lawyer).
If the firm and Partner C proceed as proposed, attention should be paid to the requirements of DR 2-102(D) concerning firm letterhead and other permissible listings. Separate letterheads for each firm would almost certainly be required to prevent the appearance of a partnership when none exists. See Nassau County 91-22.
In sum, A B & C (NY) may form a second law firm in Washington, D.C. bearing the same name, provided the arrangement is not intended to mislead the public and does not have that effect. By virtue of the close affiliation between A B & C (NY) and A B & C (DC), Partner C will likely have a "continuing" relationship with A B & C (NY), and therefore, may be "of counsel" to it while serving as an active, name partner in A B & C (DC). Based upon the likely close affiliation between the two partnerships and the continuing relationship between Partner C and the New York firm, A B & C (NY) may continue to use the name of Partner C in its firm name, even though he is actively practicing in A B & C (DC).
Subject to the caveats set forth above, we answer the questions presented in the affirmative.

While you were scribbling down your 2013 resolutions, is there any chance you thought to include "Get really good at making cocktails"? Nope?
Well, the year is young and we're here to help: "we" being Turner's photography director Mark Hill and Greg Best, mixologist and partner in Restaurant Eugene, Holeman & Finch Public House and H&F Bottle Shop in Atlanta.
In a 62-33 vote, Louisiana House of Representatives declared the Sazerac to be New Orleans' official cocktail. It's a potent blend of rye whiskey, sugar, two kinds of bitters (including the city's native Peychaud's), lemon peel and a little hint of absinthe. For many years, that last one got in the way because it was banned in the United States. New Orleanians made do with Herbsaint - a kindred licorice-tasting pastis - until absinthe's legality was reinstated in 2007.
Greg Best's Sazerac
You'll need:

Comments On Oct 18, 2010:I have used these during hare scramble races on my '03 Prairie 650. They work well, but it is tough to stagger them, ie. tabs on opposite sides, and only pull one off at a time while still riding at a good pace. I think they work as well as any tear off, but I still ended up letting the goggles hang before the end of a wet/ muddy race.

U-Boat Thousand Of Feet Watches
The U-Boat Thousand of Feet collection has the unmistakable style expected by the Italian watch brand. U-Boat Thousand of Feet watches are oversized, 50mm have the left side crown and a dial that boasts white baton and Arabic hour markers and big and bright white hands. The U-Boat Thousand of Feet watch has a bold and rugged ceramic case that is styled like a 1930's airplane gauge and provides a home for the attractive black face.
U-Boat precision watches are designed by Italo Fontana and are handcrafted in Italy. U-Boat watches were originally designed in 1942 for U-boat officers and Italian Air Force pilots, to be easily read but hard to destroy. Italo Fontana's grandfather, Ilvo Fontana was asked by the Italian Navy to create a watch that was large enough to be seen under any light or weather condition, but the order was never finalized. The designs were kept in the family for over 60 years. In the year 2000, Italo Fontana used the designs to launch U-Boat luxury watches. U-boat began a meteoric rise to popularity in 2002, especially for people interested in military-type watches because of their strength and bold designs.
Watch Collections Manufactured By U-Boat Watches
Classico, Flightdeck, Nightvision, Thousand Of Feet
U-Boat Watches
Originally designed for airplane pilots and u-boat crew use, U-Boat has taken direction from the past generations and incorporated a modern vision. Arguably the largest luxury watches on the market, a U-Boat watch is ruggedly built not only in face-size but in thickness as well. Their sleek, almost dangerous designs evoke images of the submarines for which they are named.

After installation Mathematica 8 for Linux takes more than 3GB in the /usr/local/Wolfram/ directory. I suspect that not all of it is relevant if I want to do some occasional computations. Are there subdirectories which can be deleted safely to save some space?
migrated from stackoverflow.com May 29 '12 at 19:38
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Under Windows you can use WinDirStat to easily visualize the space allocation within a drive or directory tree. That page recommends KDirStat for Linux and Disk Inventory X for OS X.
Since Windows doesn't display directory sizes for me I wrote a tiny utility to let Mathematica display them in a collapsible tree form (code at the bottom).
I opened up some candidates for deletion, but you should try them first by moving the specific directories out of the MMA directory structure. As Image_doctor said, the documentation is a good sized candidate, as well as the 32/64 bit versions of the binaries suggested by Szabolcs. Further candidates can be found in the Links directory (but don't touch the MathLink directory; many of the others are probably safe, but no guarantee).
Half of it appears to be in ../Documentation , you could delete that and look everything up on the Wolfram site on the web
In general, you can delete directories that correspond to settings of

Printing, binding, and blank-book work authorized by law, which the Public Printer is not able or equipped to do at the Government Printing Office, may be produced elsewhere under contracts made by him with the approval of the Joint Committee on Printing.
Source(Pub. L. 90–620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 Stat. 1243.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on 44 U.S. Code, 1964 ed., § 111a (Feb. 28, 1929, ch. 367, § 1,45 Stat. 1400).
Contract Goal for Disadvantaged Small Businesses in Printing-Related Services
Pub. L. 100–456, div. A, title VIII, § 843,Sept. 29, 1988, 102 Stat. 2026, as amended by Pub. L. 101–574, title IV, § 401,Nov. 15, 1990, 104 Stat. 2832; Pub. L. 102–484, div. A, title VIII, §§ 801(h)(6), 806,Oct. 23, 1992, 106 Stat. 2445, 2448, provided that:

The Broadway is a lowrider featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The Broadway is styled to bear resemblance to an open top car from the late 1940s, specifically a 1947 Cadillac Series 62 or a 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster, but is only available in convertible form.
Broadways are also the only vehicles in the game that allows the player to do Pimping missions. In addition, being a lowrider that supports hydraulics from Loco Low Co., a Broadway can be used to participate in the Lowrider Challenge in Unity Station, Los Santos. If it has hydraulics, the lowrider control for hopping interferes with starting a pimping mission and vice versa, making it unfavorable for doing stunts and tricks.
The Broadway's road-going credentials are good, possessing a good top speed and responsive cornering and braking. However, the Broadway's speed is hampered by slightly delayed acceleration, and can easily flip over if the hydraulics are jacked up. Although it doesn't appear to have a visible fuel cap, it will explode if the back license plate gets shot.
Being classified as a lowrider, the Broadway can only be modified at Loco Low Co., which provides the following modifications to the car:
- Paint Jobs (2 types)
- Colors
- Exhausts
- Front Bumper
- Rear Bumper
- Side Skirts
- Wheels (9 types)
- Car stereo
- Hydraulics
- Nitro
- Jizzy's Broadway has purple seats with a beech-color paintjob and bears a license plate which reads HO 2 HO.
- The Broadway is a gang car for the Varrios Los Aztecas.
- The default radio station in the Broadway is Master Sounds 98.3.
- The car slightly resembles a Hermes, but a convertible version.
- The Broadway is only featured as a convertible, but as such CJ will never hop over the door as opposed to other convertibles, such as the Comet.
- This car is remarkably similar to the default vehicle driven in the Vice cases in L.A Noire; also made by Rockstar Games.
- Parked next to a gas station in Idlewood with a unique white paint job.
- Sometimes spawns around San Fierro.
- Commonly spawns around the El Corona and Little Mexico, being driven by members of the Varrios Los Aztecas.
- Can be seen driving or parking at The Strip, Las Venturas.

First, there was the on-duty Bristol cop who totaled his cruiser after witnesses said he was drinking at a party earlier in the evening.
Then there was the Windsor Locks officer who hit and killed a teenager after an alleged night of drinking.
And now, it looks like we can add a state police trooper to the list of officers who apparently don't understand that the message about not drinking and driving applies to them. In the most recent case, the police lieutenant allegedly drove his cruiser into the back of a truck on Interstate 84 in East Hartford during last Wednesday's storm. Police found several empty beer cans in the cruiser and a container with a mixture of tomato juice and alcohol inside.
What's the deal, here? Did the message about not drinking and driving get lost on these cops? Or do they think they the laws don't apply to them?

Economic opportunity
To build a brighter economic future, we know that young people around the world need education, resources and support. Watch the video above to learn how we're empowering young people in Africa to go after their dreams, start their own businesses, and succeed — no matter what challenges they may face.
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

Audio Pro Avanti A.10 review
Tasty Swede with a real-wood finish
The Mondial range comprises five speaker pairs, ranging from the ultra-compact M.1 to the super-slim floorstanding M.5, with the M.4 centre and two active AceBass subs as multichannel options. But the first thing you'll notice about the whole range is that they're completely upholstered in leather. Not an option for strict vegetarians, then.
This Swedish entry is a light and affordable system– and certainly one of the funkiest looking around.
We first heard from Swedish company Audio Pro some time around the end of the 1970s. In those pre home cinema days, a subwoofer was something new, and Audio Pro's B2.50 ACE-Bass device turned out to be a very effective unit indeed
Audio Pro's Allroom system wants to make a style statement. I know this, because, aside from the rather natty blue finish, this diminuitive sub/sat package also comes in five 'fruit flavours' as well more sedate red, silver, white and black guises
The Allroom Sat is a beautifully crafted satellite speaker available in eight funky colour-ways, plus black and white finishes. Each 15cm tall satellite is constructed from teardrop shaped MDF cabinets, handsprayed with eight layers of high-gloss lacquer
It would be an overstatement to suggest that Audio Pro, a Swedish company founded in 1978, invented the subwoofer. But I like to feel that it was Audio Pro which helped make this one-time American oddity it into something practical and...
I'm one of the Horribly Unashamed when it comes to low frequency reproduction. I like it loud, deeper than hell, very powerful, and able to scare the cat. I figure that if Jerry Bruckheimer or Steven Spielberg want me to jump clear...
Those Swedes know a thing or two about interior design. But while the most affordable system in our test may be the cutest, with each of its identical five satellite speakers no bigger than a kitten...

We are proud to announce the release of our new product, Pre-Workout. Yes, we thought long and hard about the name Lol, well, we figured why not make it easy? If you are a customer perusing our site and looking for a pre-workout supplement you should be able to figure it out .
As with our entire lineup, Pre-Workout contains only PROVEN ingredients in PROVEN doses. Compare us to the competition. In truth, you cant, because there is no comparison. Other companies include proven ingredients at ineffective doses, and/or ineffective ingredients that they make ridiculous claims about (and even those ingredients are under-dosed!). Finally, most pre-workout supplements try to hide their inadequacy as actual ergogens by using dangerous doses of exotic stimulants. Not us, AtLarges Pre-Workout is both safe and effective!
By the way, did we mention it tastes great and mixes with a spoon?

Making a Difference
WHS Supports Feds Feed Families Campaign to End Hunger in Our Communities
AThe Feds Feed Families campaign is in full swing once again, and organizers throughout the National Capital Region (NCR) are working together to make a difference in the lives of families and children in the region. The annual campaign, which runs from June to August, is a tremendous display of the giving nature exhibited by the WHS family.
2013 will mark the fifth annual Feds Feed Families, a program that taps into the compassion of federal employees to provide assistance to food banks around the country. Food collected in the NCR is donated to the Capital Area Food Bank, which serves more than 700 food pantries, soup kitchens, and other service organizations.
WHS functions as a driving force behind Feds Feed Families and its ability to reach an overwhelming level of success every year. Year after year, WHS' logistics and promotion support has generated participation in the campaign across the Department. In 2012, WHS helped the DoD collect 2.1 million pounds of food out of the total 7.3 million pounds donated across the federal government.
Furthermore, WHS spearheads efforts to raise awareness and promote participation in Feds Feed Families by coordinating an annual "Cover the Map" rally in the Pentagon Center Courtyard. During this event, the Pentagon community gathers to place food on a large map of the NCR to celebrate the food drive's important mission and encourage staff to "participate and make a difference." This rally unites DoD military and civilian personnel while spreading awareness of the 1 in every 6 Americans who remain hungry.
By collaborating for a good cause, WHS makes an impact beyond the walls of the workplace and helps our neighbors in the community.Read More

Although the Mainland premier league first round offered few surprises, there was one huge surprise in the form of JKT Oljoro's stellar form.
Even though the usual suspects: Simba, Yanga and Azam ended the round as the top three teams in the league, it was refreshing to see the newly promoted JKT Oljoro hold their own against the leading lights of local football.
Indeed, the outstanding displays of Oljoro arguably seemed to suggest that the quality of football in the first division was of a much higher standard than previously thought.
But as for the three top teams in the league, many were wondering ahead of the season's kick-off if this would be the season in which Azam would finally come good and fulfill the promise they have shown in recent years.
At the halfway stage though, the ice cream makers are in third place with 23 points, five points off the table toppers Simba who have 28 points. With Yanga sandwiched between Simba and Azam in second place with 27 points, it promises to be a very close three-way race for the title right down to the wire.
For the neutrals though, an outcome which sees Simba or Yanga winning the title, will not make for a great season of local football.
This is because there are a growing number of observers who feel that it is about time that the vice-like grip of the two giants over local football is released.
Indeed, it has almost become routine to crown either Simba or Yanga as champions-in-waiting ahead of each new season, but thankfully, the emergence of Azam has changed the equation a bit.
Still, one could tentatively argue that Simba and Yanga will remain as two of the dominant sides in the league, even if the ice cream makers manage to pull off a surprise and win the title this season.
However, the meteoric rise of Azam and the form of JKT Oljoro ought to encourage those of us who feel that it is high time that the winds of change blew across local football.
Happy Holidays to all sports fans.

Since you asked this question over a year ago, I'm pretty sure you've already made your decision but I'd like to offer you some advice. You mentioned your husband vacuumed the coils and it worked for a couple more weeks. Chances are the condenser coils were very dirty when he did this. When refrigerator condenser coils are dirty, the compressor overheats and heat will cause a compressor to fail prematurely. You should vacuum or blow out your condenser coils regularly. Today's refrigerator compressors are not made to last like they were in the past. I remember when it wasn't unusual for a compressor to last 30 years. You won't see that happen with the way refrigerator compressors are made today. Regular cleaning of your condenser coils is crucial in preventing premature failure of your compressor. For more tips, check out my article here on Angie's list titled "How To Avoid Appliance Repairs"
As stated above, it can vary between companies.
Typically just an inspection implies you do not have a contract or agreement that may include discounts or free repairs.
With our company you would get the annual maintenace service that you should do every year, and if repairs are needed, they are extra, but you aviod paying a "service call charge" that would be related to most repairs, because you are paying for the "inspection" and we are already on site.
Inspections are often discounted in the slow seasons, and can usually be found advertised , at reduced prices , on Angie's List.
So consider Angie's List and find the best of the best in HVAC contractors!

Tiffanie Reynolds, special to wtop.com
WASHINGTON – More students entering college are making the grade, but not everyone agrees it's a good thing.
Higher grades correlate with high college graduation rates, but counselors say students should not solely focus on grade point averages.
Imran Riaz, assistant director of the George Washington University Counseling Center, says many high achieving high school students can be disillusioned by the challenge of college classes.
"When they get to college, it can be more difficult to maintain a high GPA and do well in other areas. So, there's more expected out of the student. A lot of times, students get stressed when they're trying to keep up a GPA they had previously," Riaz says.
A statistically-weighted 2011 study of college freshmen bears out what Riaz says.
The study found students exhibited behaviors and attitudes consistent with academic success.
The data of 203,967 students entering 270 four-year institutions mined by the Cooperative Institutional Research Program at the University of California, Los Angeles found 71 percent took at least one Advanced Placement course before entering college, while the percentage of students taking five or more AP courses increased from 18.7 percent in 2009 to 21.7 percent in 2011. More than two thirds of the first-time, full-time students reported they took notes frequently as high school seniors.
But at the same time, the CIRP report found the emotional health of the freshmen last year to be in question. Only 52.6 percent said they believed they were in good emotional health, up just 0.7 percent over 2010. In 2010, researchers said the students' self-rating of emotional health was "at an all-time low."
Some factors that affected low self-esteem included the economic health of the students' parents and how much college debt the students incurred through loans and financial aid. Since the 2008 recession, many college students are feeling more of the financial burden.
Researchers advocated that college administrators and faculty members needed to "monitor incoming first-year students for signs of stress and to promote activities that support health and well-being."
Key to a student's well-being, according to Amanda Rahimi, assistant director for outreach and consultation at American University, is for a student to be well-rounded.
"Balance is a good thing for students to have," said Rahimi.
Students need to be able to balance working hard in school with not only having fun with friends, but also with spending time with their families and with relaxing on their own, Rahimi said.
This balance of work and relaxation opens students to more opportunities on campus, which can give them skills to make them more marketable for the working world, she said.

The district attorney's investigation into an officer involved shooting in Pueblo has been completed, and has ruled the officer was justified in using deadly force against a man with a BB gun in August.
District Attorney Bill Thiebaut compiled the report after reviewing the investigations by the Pueblo Police Department, the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office, Colorado State Patrol and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. In his report, Thiebaut concluded that the actions of Pueblo Police Officer Brian Laut were justified, and that there was "not a reasonable likelihood or probability that Laut committed a chargeable offense."
The shooting took place shortly before 7 a.m. on August 29, 2012. Pueblo police received reports of a man shooting out car windows with a gun. At the time of the call, there was speculation that the gun may have been a paintball gun. That suspect was later identified as 21-year-old Edward Valdez III.
According to the district attorney's report, Laut was one of the officers who responded to the call. Laut saw a man on a bicycle that matched the description of the suspect. When Laut attempted to stop the man, Valdez took off across an intersection and into the dirt lot behind Toni and Joe's Pizzeria on Columbia Avenue.
Laut watched as Valdez crashed into a cement slab behind the business. Laut pulled his patrol car behind the pizzeria and got out to cuff and help the suspect. As Laut approached the man, he told investigators Valdez stood up, reached into his pocket and pulled what Laut described as a 1911 semi-automatic handgun and pointed it at Laut. As the officer backed away from the man, Valdez started shooting at the officer, striking him in the head. Laut returned fire, killing the Valdez.
Thiebaut says that the physical evidence matched the eyewitness accounts of the shooting. Video from Laut's patrol car collaborate Laut's report of the shooting.
Laut was placed on administrative leave while the agencies conducted their investigation. On December 13th, Laut received a Medal of Valor for his action in the August shooting.

Springs police are asking the public to keep an eye out for a man in a red 2-door Honda, who they believe was trying to lure children into his car.
Danny Ott tells 11 News he was washing his motorcycle in a neighborhood near Galley and Murray Sunday when he noticed a man trying to get two little boys to get into his car.
"The way he was talking to them was really convincing...'if you come with me, there's a reward.'"
When the man saw Ott standing there, he took off--only to reportedly come back later and try to lure little girls who were across the street.
Ott said he walked over to the kids and the man sped off.
According to Ott, the man tried to lure the girls with promises of McDonald's.
"He was very persuasive, especially with the McDonald's thing. I think that was his ploy: 'if you come get in my car, I'll take you to the McDonald's up there.'"
The children were fortunate that another adult witnessed the luring attempt and was able to stop it. But since grownups can't always be around the intervene, Kid Power, an organization that specializes in these types of situations, has the following advice:
-Tell the kids it's okay not to be polite.
-Yell, run away, and look for another adult
-Never go near the stranger
-Don't talk to them or take anything from them
-Just move away as quickly as possible.
Police say the suspect is a black man in his mid-30s. No other description has been made available at this time.
If you have any information that can help police, call CSPD at 444-7000 or Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

Your Reunion Gift
Reunion giving is an important part of the Reunion tradition.
As you reflect on your experience as a student during your Reunion year, we hope you will choose to support the College today with a meaningful gift. Your support not only strengthens your relationship with Barnard but also helps ensure that current and future students receive the same high-quality education you did.
Reunion gifts of all sizes are welcome and alumnae are encouraged to participate at a level that is comfortable for them. For many donors, their Reunion gift is above and beyond what they might typically give. Some alumnae may choose to commemorate their quinquennial reunion with a more significant single year gift; a multi-year pledge to be paid over five years; or a special restricted gift that matches their interest with Barnard's needs.
What Counts as a Reunion Gift?
All gifts and pledge payments made to Barnard for any purpose (restricted or unrestricted) since July 1st following your last reunion will be counted in your class's current Reunion Gift total. This includes new commitments made during the current reunion year. All corporate matches and irrevocable planned gifts made during this time period are also counted.

- The Artist
Henri Matisse (1869 – 1954), considered to be the 20th century's most important French painter, communicated joy with expressive colors, striking ornamentation and bold patterns. Matisse, whose mother gave him his first art supplies while he was recovering from an illness, described his discovery of art as "a kind of paradise." He was originally viewed as a Fauvist, and his early works were exceptionally mature. Influenced by Impressionism and Japanese art, Matisse made color a crucial element of his work, and also experimented with expressive abstraction. When he was nearly 80, Matisse volunteered to decorate the Dominican nuns' chapel at Vence, France. Suffering from anxiety, Matisse found serenity in painting.

What is RM Cash
Morgan in UT
The lightpod i bought was the coolest thing i have ever bought. I rigged it up to my dirt bike so it shines underneath like a glow-light. When I ride at night, these help me to see better because I don't have a headlight. I would give this lightpod a 5 star rating because they are dope as heck and are cool to see when I ride in the night. All of my biddies who have dirt bikes want them too, but don't know how to rig them up. Once again I would just like to say these things are amazing to ride with and to see, so for me it's a 5 star rating.Read All Reviews

The light seems to turn on just fine, but only worked when stopped for some reason. It does not flash while moving most of the time, but it starts flashing when stopped. Not sure about you, but I expected it to flash all the time while it was ON. And not very bright either. Needs some work by manufacturer. Not ready for sale yet.Read All Reviews

FORT WAYNE (www.incnow.tv) - Paul Crowder's power play goal with less than four minutes left in regulation snapped a scoreless tie and gave the Wheeling Nailers a 1-0 win over the Komets Sunday night.
The loss dropped the Komets behind the Nailers into the 11th spot in the ECHL Eastern Conference and further from a playoff spot.
The loss came in spite of the Komets putting 44 shots on Wheeling goaltender Peter Delmas, but none by him.
The Komets next see action Wednesday night at home against Toledo before departing on a two game weekend road trip to South Carolina.

These mysterious black rods were first seen being used by Nagato, the leader of Akatsuki. They were embedded into the bodies of his Six Paths of Pain which allowed him to manipulate said bodies by transmitting his chakra to them from the rods which had been embedded into his own body by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path when he summoned it during his battle with Hanzō of the Salamander.[1] Nagato used these not only for this supplementary purpose but also as weapons which, when used to pierce the enemy, disrupted their chakra flow by injecting them with his own.[2] Through this means he also attempted to take control of a living body.[3] The rods were originally used by Madara Uchiha, who imbued his will into at least one of them, which he left protruding from the navel of Hashirama Senju's living clone.[4] During the process of saving Obito Uchiha's life as well, Madara inserted some of these rods into his body, which he later used as a fail safe attempt to revive himself with the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique.[5][6][7] The results of which covers the target's body in black matter.[6] Obito Uchiha later made use of these rods in the form of giant stakes to incapacitate larger targets and bombard opponents with overwhelming attacks.
Each variation of the charka receiver allows the user to transmit their chakra across vast distances. According to Shizune, these receivers act as high-frequency chakra demodulators, which become appreciably warm to the touch whilst currently receiving chakra.[8] They possess incredible durability, damaging every scalpel Shizune used to extract just a small sample during her autopsy of the first Animal Path,[9] and even displaying some resistance when struck by Naruto's Rasengan.[10] When employed offensively, they have shown to be capable of easily piercing through their target,[11] even if the latter is a tailed beast.[12]
Chakra Receiver Rods
Nagato upon summoning the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path during his confrontation with Hanzō of the Salamander was pierced by several of these all of which originated from the navel of the statue.[1] From there, he incorporated their use in his Six Paths of Pain technique, where he implanted the receivers into a number of corpses at various points along their body, much like piercings. Doing so allowed him to transmit his chakra into the bodies and control them remotely as if they were his own, while bestowing each with certain abilities that Nagato wielded thanks to his Rinnegan. The many animals summoned through the Animal Path technique also had a number of these body piercings, suggesting that Nagato controlled them in a similar manner.[13] When using the Summoning: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, several of these receivers were pierced into Nagato's back in order to allow him to transfer his chakra to the statue and in doing so, manipulate it.[1]
During the course of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Tobi utilised these same rods to control his own Six Paths of Pain comprised entirely from reincarnated jinchūriki, using only one receiver per body.[14] By using them to manifest chakra chains, he was able to maintain authority over even the tailed beasts sealed within the jinchūriki, while retaining a connection between the beasts and the Demonic Statue.[15]
Chakra Disruption Blade
These chakra disruption blades are the bladed versions of the chakra receivers. Nagato was able to store and extend the blades as needed from both arms of any Path, at various length. Pain can also detach the blade from the arms when requiring to use several of them,[16] or to be thrown as spears.[17] These blades disrupt the chakra of its victim, impeding their movements. When a victim is stabbed by the blades, the Rinnegan appears in their mind.[18][19] These blades are very sharp, as they were able to pierce the skin of Sage Mode users.[11]
Though the blades are made from durable material, they can be broken with enough force.[20] However, due to being made of the same material as the chakra receivers are, they are durable enough to wear down metal blades such as scalpels without any trouble.[9] Not only that, these blades are strong enough to deflect Blaze Release: Susanoo Kagutsuchi arrows despite them being made of Amaterasu.[21]
Nagato, due to being immobile, can fire his chakra disruption blades from his mechanical seat, which then allows him to control the victims like one of the paths due to the close proximity between each other. Naruto was able to resist Nagato's influence with the help of both Sage Mode and the Nine-Tails chakra.[22]
Chakra Receiver Stakes
These stakes greatly differ in size and design. However, not unlike the other variations, the user is capable of channeling their chakra through it. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Obito Uchiha employed these against Naruto Uzumaki and Killer B. He keeps them stored in another dimension, and readily deployed them when desired. When applied with enough force, they can pierce the flesh of fully transformed tailed beasts. Also like the simpler chakra receiver, the user can channel their chakra into the stakes to manifest chakra chains, with which he is capable of binding the powers of a tailed beast.[12]
Other Media
In Naruto Shippūden: Shinobi Rumble, Pain has a technique called "Black Needle Stab" (黒針突, Kokushintō), in which he simply dashes at the opponent and stabs them with the blade variant, causing their controls to become temporarily reversed; an enhanced "Full Throttle" version is also available, called "Black Needle Stab: Destructive Flash" (黒針突・滅閃, Kokushintō: Metsusen). As no specific name was given for these weapons in the manga, this may imply that they are officially known as "Black Needles" (黒針, Kokushin).
- The main difference between the simple chakra receivers and their bladed version, is that the receivers begin transmitting chakra to his Six Paths of Pain when they are activated.[23] Nagato also seemingly went to some lengths to retrieve them.[24][25] These on the other hand, are used in battle and only transmits chakra when Nagato wants.[26]
- It has been shown that the receivers inserted in the reincarnated jinchūriki move position when they go through a transformation and get bigger. As seen with Rōshi, he transformed into Son Gokū's full form. It moved from the chest, up to its neck.[27]

Charles Waldheim, coiner of the term landscape urbanism, is chair of landscape architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Landscape urbanism argues that landscape, rather than architecture, should organize the city and enhance the urban experience. It has emerged as a theory in the last 10 years and Waldheim is one of the core instructors, practitioners, and theorists who are articulating its terms and issues. An early landscape urbanism project, the Parc de la Villette in Paris (1982), has been influential for both its actual built environment, designed by architect Bernard Tschumi, as well as the runner-up's (unbuilt) design by Rem Koolhaas.
Waldheim's lecture, titled "Planning, Ecology, and the Emergence of Landscape," will begin with a series of short historical cases, each describing the role of landscape in the formation of the region as a subject of city and regional planning practice in the 19th and 20th centuries. Waldheim will continue with a survey of the recent reemergence of landscape design as a medium of urban design, and the impact of that shift on the disciplinary commitments and professional precedents of urban planning. He will survey several recent projects in North America, and offer a provisional sketch of potential future models for contemporary planning practice.
Waldheim is currently writing the first book-length history of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. His writings have appeared in Landscape Journal, Topos, Log, Praxis, 306090, Canadian Architect, Dimensions, and Landscape Architecture magazine.
