Bought these matte black wind deflectors and they not only look awesome, but only took 5 minutes total to install all 4 of them on my new 2016 Dodge Ram 1500. I originally bought the Mopar deflectors and returned them after trying to install them. I gave up after 1 hour. These are a MUCH better product then Mopar deflectors. Sipping was super fast too. Faster then expected... Thank you!

5 videos on connected learning from the Digital Media and Learning Research Hub [VIDEOS]
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to this blog via e-mail or my RSS feed. I also am on Twitter. Thanks for visiting!
Here are four very powerful videos from the Digital Media and Learning Research Hub that are guaranteed to make you think hard about learning, teaching, and schooling. You can watch them all in less than half an hour. My quick notes from the videos are included underneath each one…
Engaged (7 minutes; Connie Yowell)
- we are fundamentally starting with the wrong questions
- we start with learning outcomes – and content defines everything – rather than "what is the experience we want kids to have?"
- our core question is around engagement; if you ask "is a kid engaged?", you have to pay attention to and start with the kid
- we have to make room for curiosity, we don't have enough opportunities for kids to take things apart and wonder about them
- little opportunities to fail and iterate are also opportunities to play with identity
- we need opportunities to explore who we are in the world and how the world works, particularly as teenagers
- we so decontextualize learning for kids, we've forgotten we have a passion for learning
- in school they could care less, but in complex games kids demand that they learn how to do something so they can move on
- as adults, we have to deeply connect content and students' activity, otherwise learning has no meaning

cancel without any reason
Cons: They cancelled the flight without any reason and you sent an email the night before departure and as I was in Africa I couldn't read it. So I had to discovered it by other tourists and then I had to book another flight at a higher rate because of the time and I had to cancel a couple of activities already paid to solve all of this and they offer to reimburse just the cost of the flight in 60 days. Horrible experience

Matchmaker Satisfied
The style and comfortability suits me great
Will buy in other colors
Very comfortable and works well with orthotics. I will wear them with pants or skirts.
Love, love, love these shoes!
Walked all over Europe in them and they were great. Navy looks nice wirh jeans. They are soft across the ball of the foot with ample toe room so I didn't have to break them in. I just put them on and go! I am an architect and love them because I can go from a construction site, to a client meeting and out to dinner without changing shoes. My feet are comfy all day plus they look professional wirh pants. I wear size 10 N and have long bony toes with a low instep so finding comfortable shoes is difficult. I am thinking about buying extra pairs to save for the future. They arrived one day earlier than expected.
Just what the doctor ordered!
I bought these for my 93-year-old mother who has incredibly bad bunions and narrow feet - not an easy combination to find shoes for. Before these shoes, the nursing home staff was having trouble getting her to attempt to walk - her other shoes were too painful. But the stretchy insets in the sides of these shoes comfort her bunions while the narrow width cradles her arches and stabilize her feet. I can't believe that some kind soul came up with these. Simply the best solution to our problem!
I would order this again and again.
Yes, I have met my solemate! I am on my feet all day and this is the first work shoe I've had that has the stretch fabric for the bunion area. What a Godsend! This is my second pair of these and I just hope they will always be available.

Even though the Big Ten Network and Mediacom reached a deal on Thursday, cable subscribers in Fort Dodge and most surrounding towns are still in the dark.
A small part of northwest Iowa - which includes a square path between Fort Dodge, Algona, Storm Lake and Spencer - will not be included in the first phase of the new agreement.
''We had some tough choices on the terriorties to launch the Big Ten Network on the first phase,'' said Mediacom communications director Phyllis Peters. ''Fort Dodge and towns north and west are unfortunately not included.
''We have every intention to extend the plan (down the road).''
Peters couldn't make any guarantees, but the areas are expected to be addressed in the immediate future.
''We don't have definitive dates, but we plan on launching a phase two,'' Peters said. ''We know there are a lot of Hawkeye fans in the Fort Dodge, Manson and Humboldt areas, and we are concerned with their needs.
''At the same time, we hope customers know that it's costly to add sports programs, and doing the phased-in approach helps with the setup cost.''
Peters pointed out that not all Hawkeye games are on the Big Ten Network; ESPN, ESPN2, ABC also carry some. Those stations are provided by Mediacom.
Iowa's first three games, however - including the showdown with Iowa State on Sept. 13 - are slated for the Big Ten Network.

West Australian Premier Colin Barnett has defended comments made by federal opposition leader Tony Abbott in which he described WA Liberal MP Ken Wyatt as an "urban Aboriginal", saying he must have been misinterpreted.
Mr Abbott on Tuesday said it would be terrific to have an "authentic" indigenous representative of central Australia in Canberra, in response to a question about the possibility of Northern Territory minister Alison Anderson switching to federal politics.
That comment angered some, with accusations Mr Abbott was suggesting Mr Wyatt was somehow not authentic.
Mr Barnett said on Wednesday he did not think that in praising Ms Anderson, Mr Abbott was in any way diminishing Mr Wyatt's worth.
"I'm not quite sure that Tony Abbott was properly interpreted," Mr Barnett said.
"I didn't hear exactly what he said, but can I just say Ken Wyatt is an outstanding person."
Mr Barnett praised Mr Wyatt for being the first Aboriginal person elected to the federal lower house.
"I've known Ken for over 20 years. He's a terrific guy, a great leader of Aboriginal people, a great representative of his community," the premier said.
"So I don't think Tony Abbott intended any discounting or diminishing of the stature of Ken Wyatt."
Mr Wyatt told Fairfax Radio on Wednesday that Mr Abbott's comments were not helpful, but he wanted to move on and get on with his job.

For 15 years the Dalai Lama—whose title means Ocean of Wisdom—has worked with neuroscientists in the West, encouraging them to study the effects of meditative disciplines on the brain. When I heard him speak last fall in Washington, D.C., I was intrigued when someone asked him—in the context of the Iraq war, the tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and the earthquake in Pakistan—how he deals with "compassion fatigue"? He is, after all, the incarnation of the Compassionate Buddha.
"Neurologically," he replied, "we now understand that empathy is a spontaneous response in the immediate moment. When we see someone else's suffering, for an instant we perceive—our brain reacts—as if what the other is experiencing we are experiencing too."
"Empathy is really what we are describing when we talk about 'compassion fatigue,'" he continued. "It is the simple compassion a person experiences when they want to see another person free from suffering." Empathy is the autonomic human response to the pain of another—and yes, it can be physically exhausting when we experience too much stimuli without the spiritual wisdom to understand our experience.
Jon Kabat-Zinn, a leading researcher in preventive and behavioral medicine at the University of Massachusetts, says that "empathy fatigue" is scientifically measurable. There is a "relaxation curve" in our neurological empathetic response. "After about three weeks [of responding to the pain of another]," said Kabat-Zinn, "a person's brain goes 'back to normal.'" The feelings of empathy begin to fade and the brain no longer responds to that particular stimulus. "This is a natural response in a culture that is strongly ego-identified," Kabat-Zinn continued. "With our sense of individuality, we can not take in the pain of the world." How interesting if the inverse also proves to be true—the more oriented one is to a communal identity, the more empathetic and compassionate one becomes, physically.
When we experience empathy in relation to those that we know or love or who are similar to us, it is primarily an extension of loving our selves—not the more complex response of compassion. Real compassion is when we have a spontaneous neurological response to those who are unrelated to us or whom we have been culturally shaped to distance ourselves from. In other words: our enemies. "A more telling experiment," said the Dalai Lama, "would be to examine such feelings toward these less-related people to see if activation arises in the same areas of the brain."
According to both Buddhist and Christian traditions, a person's ability to move from simple empathy to complex compassion is developed through intentional prayer disciplines, accumulated wisdom, and social practices. The analysis of modern science now confirms that a person's developed quality of compassion can have measured physical effects. "Virtuous qualities," said Richard Davidson, director of the Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience at Harvard, "are skills of the mind which can be developed through certain practices because of the plasticity of the brain." Prayer can literally change our brain.
While scientists are coming into agreement with religion that prayer can affect the person who prays, spiritual leaders are pushing science to take it to the next level: examining the effects of prayer beyond the one who prays. "When an individual generates great levels of compassion within herself," said the Dalai Lama, "then we say that the Buddha is awakened within and this produces compassionate changes beyond the individual self."
One Christian manifestation of the ability to produce compassionate change beyond oneself is "distance healing." Recent scientific studies of intercessory prayer, mental healing, non-contact therapeutic touch, and spiritual healing show statistically positive outcomes. Larry Dossey's books Prayer is Good Medicine and Healing Beyond the Body provide an excellent overview of how Western science is trying to catch up with our spiritual traditions and practices.
Bringing scientific inquiry to bear on spiritual practices can give us—the practitioners—new ways of understanding what we do and how we do it. As Christians, we have received a prayer tradition. It's important that we continually exercise our prayer muscles, that we pursue a variety of ways of opening ourselves to God, and that our churches be prayer laboratories for social-spiritual experiments. For example, how can liturgy physically enhance the compassion centers of our brain? How does developing a state of energy-balance in our frontal cortex allow us to minister more effectively in situations of conflict? Perhaps the next level of scientific study will be on the power of prayer to effect non-personal change—prayer as a tool for social transformation.

"Very classy and unique. Everyone thought our invitations were very cool and they loved the concept. We initially ordered black text on white cards for all invitation items but it looked a little too simple for our taste. We changed it to black paper with white text and it was awesome! The customer service department was incredible and did everything possible to turn around the order as fast as they could. I was very impressed!! The only thing to know is that the back of the cards will remain white but the quality is extremely nice. In the end it didn't matter at all because the overall look was perfect."
"The printing and paper quality were excellent with this product. We used it with the Pocket Folds envelope, and when inserted into the V-shaped pocket, the initials logo still was visible. It was very eye-catching! Customer service was extremely helpful. I actually used cards from several different weddingpaperdivas collections, and the designers/proofers made sure my fonts were consistent throughout, which is something I didn't even request. I was also very pleased with the delivery process - I received my order in less than a week."
"I ordered this in rich red and absolutely love them! I loved the fact that I was able to personalize all each part of my invitation before ordering! The customer service and delivery was great and I got all 210 of my invitations in a very timely manner! I would highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas!"
"We used these cards for announcement cards. We were impressed with the simplicity and clarity of the monogram design. The smaller sized card worked well for announcement cards, as they also would for recpetion cards. The total look of our cards came accross as simple, stately, and bold -- just what we wanted."
"I love the design of these invitations. I really wanted a non traditional card that had color, these invitations did the trick. I chose the amethyst color, I am really pleased with the result. I will look into getting the menu cards for our reception!"

text: Alice Light of Dyersburg recently found this unusual looking insect in her garage. Light had never seen one and took this specimen to Dyersburg State Community College where professors identified it as a mole cricket. According to Wikipedia, mole crickets are relatively common, but because they are nocturnal and spend nearly all their lives underground in extensive tunnel systems, they are rarely seen. The mole crickets are the family Gryllotalpidae, in the order Orthoptera (grasshoppers, locusts and crickets). Mole crickets are cylindrical-bodied insects about 3--5 centimeters (1.2--2.0 in) long, with small eyes and shovel-like forelimbs highly developed for burrowing.

I was, however, not a natural tumbler. As a matter of fact, my mom had to give me a private lesson to learn how to do a cartwheel. It was through the support and great coaches at Premier that I ended up being on a Level 5 co-ed team that won a paid bid to the Cheerleading Worlds my senior year. Not only did Premier instill a sense of confidence and support in me, the gym gave me a second place to call home and another group of people to call my family."

Cunliffe vows to step on 'coat-tailing'
Wednesday 4 Jun 2014 5:04 p.m.
The Internet-Mana deal and the Epsom cup of tea – they both seem a back door into Parliament for the Internet Party and ACT.
Labour leader David Cunliffe is promising to close it.
"In the first 100 days of a Government that I lead, we will introduce Government legislation to remove coat-tailing."
Normally a party has to get 5 percent of votes to get MPs into Parliament. However, under the coat-tail rule an MP only needs to win an electorate seat, then just 1.2 percent of the vote to bring in a second MP and 2 percent for a third.
Mr Cunliffe wants to change the rule that would give the Internet Mana alliance extra MPs, but he is still happy to work with a party his changes would destroy.
"It's for the people to decide who goes to Parliament and once that's occurred we'll have to look around to see who's available to help change the Government."
There is division within Labour about working with the Internet Party, with three MPs speaking out against it. That includes Phil Goff saying on his Facebook page the deal is "rorting the system".
"Kim Dotcom wants Parliamentary representatives to help him oppose his extradition."
Internet Party leader Laila Harre was more interested in talking about decriminalising cannabis today, another move into Green Party territory.
"I'm personally in favour of decriminalisation, but this is something we're putting to members at the moment," she says.

Millions more Americans now have easy access to health insurance thanks to Healthcare.gov, and the agency has streamlined their digital service delivery processes while maintaining high quality and usability.

Our thinking has helped shape some of the most innovative technologies and strategies for the federal government. We invite you to read our latest insights and ideas.
Continuously Delivering Continuous Delivery Pipelines
In smaller companies with a handful of apps and fewer silos, implementing Continuous Delivery (CD) pipelines to support these apps is fairly straightforward using one of the many delivery orchestration tools available today. For example, there is usually a limited tool set, application types, and security practices to support –generally fewer cooks in the kitchen. But in a larger organization, there are seemingly endless unique requirements and mountains to climb to reach this level of automation on each new project.
Cloud security: Learning to trust the facts
For many agencies, cloud computing is the answer to a range of long-standing challenges, including scalability and true elasticity, barriers to entry, technology refreshes and cost savings. Yet cloud computing can introduce its own challenges, particularly in terms of security -- not necessarily in the capabilities of the cloud but in the perceptions that surround cloud because of its abstract nature.
Why All the Measurements?
Measurements are all around us. Doctors take our vitals during a physical as a measure against typical values or changes since our last visit. Traffic cameras measure traffic flows over time to help shape transportation planning. For digital services, we look at web traffic, social media data, web app usage, email reports, and so on.

Put a splash of colour in your outfit with a pair of pink shoes. Whether you need trainers for the court or court shoes for the next party, pink shoes give a sense of spring and new possibilities.
Match subtle matt pink shoes with darker pink outerwear, such as a long woollen coat or a knee-length dress. Whatever your outfit, whether a suit or a gown, give it a distinctly feminine tone with this rosy pastel.

The SJ-800 allows for modification of the flash output to be matched to the background scene. This is especially useful for digital cameras where "white balance" can be controlled.
For instance, when shooting with a flash under fluorescent lights the foreground will be white, but the background will still have a green cast. By using a green filter the flash output gets converted to match the rest of the scene, and the camera's White Balance setting can then be set to "Fluorescent".

After a whirlwind offseason that saw the team jettison ten players from its playoff roster, the Flyers barely resemble the team that came within two games of capturing Lord Stanley's Cup just one short year ago.
Gone is team captain and franchise cornerstone Mike Richards. Gone is the team's best pure goal scorer in Jeff Carter. Gone are two-way wingers Kris Versteeg and Ville Leino. Gone are energy players and fan-favorites Dan Carcillo and Darroll Powe. Gone are veteran role players Brian Boucher and Sean O'Donnell.
In their place, the Flyers have added veterans Max Talbot and Andreas Lilja, promising young forwards Brayden Schenn, Sean Couturier, Wayne Simmonds, and Jakub Voracek, top-tier goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov, and future Hall of Fame RW Jaromir Jagr.
But can all of these acquisitions offset the departures of so many key players? Read on to find out.
As always, comments are welcome and appreciated.

There can be a variety of available processes for representing the pharmacokinetics of a drug. No, not the canned meat variety - spam is much like the pre-approved offers that you receive inside the mail box, just in a electronic form. An impartial pharmacy in the area accepts prescription and through-the-counter orders and delivers them discretely to office.
As these online pharmacies are developing everyday almost all sorts of medicines available in medical stores are also available there. My heart ached for the kids because their doctors were only hurting them by increasing their dosages and allowing them being so influenced by drugs. Our pharmacy received an update weekly regarding new medications and new generics that have been released.
while using complex equations used, it became faster to have results, thus leading. Let me start off by proclaiming that regardless of what area you pursue (institutional or retail) for your most part, you is going to be involved in the fast paced environment. These online drug dealers bypass government safeguards which need uniformity of quality, a prescription from your licensed doctor which says the drug is intended particularly in your case, and the drug is not counterfeit, meets manufacturing standards which is safe and effective for that prescribed use.
While there is often a small chance you can get laid off (for instance, when the chain supermarket closes some stores) you mustn't have much problem finding another job. " A good reaction to this is not "I'm seeking a job. Most drugs need being stored at exact temperatures, so one with the things pharmacists learn included in pharmaceutical quality training may be the necessary steps to maintain the facilities clean and in compliance with regulations.
As the year progresses, pharmacists continue to be given a lot more responsibilities within the medical system. With over twenty-five programs to appear at, graduate degrees vary from Pharmacy and Health Professionals to Business Administration and Information Technology. If you sense like you would relatively go to your campus than get pharmacy instruction on the net, there are very a several choices.

Although this species may have a restricted range, it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be increasing, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.

Taxonomic note
Aratinga solstitialis and A. maculata (del Hoyo and Collar 2014) were previously lumped as A. solstitialis following Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993) and Stotz et al. (1996).
The species inhabits areas with large tracts of forest and adjacent savanna (O'Shea 2005, Mittermeier et al. 2010).
The range of this species is affected by deforestation, as driven primarily by the expansion of agriculture as new roads are constructed; however, deforestation in Brazil may actually be benefitting this species and facilitating its spread to new areas (Vieira da Costa et al. 2011). In the long term, deforestation may become so rapid and extensive that the balance of extensive forest tracts and savanna required by the species will be surpassed and the species could start to decline. Silveira et al. (2005) state that at Monte Alegre, Pará, there are no obvious indications of heavy trapping pressure. Likewise, Mittermeier et al. (2010) state that no reports were made of any hunting or trapping of the species by Amerindians in the Sipaliwini Savanna of southern Suriname.

Museum fundraiser; 'Fondy Soulbration' market; 'Walk, Run and Wag' 5K
Take a seat
Milwaukee's historic house museums are offering patrons a seat at their annual fundraising event Wednesday. And, afterward — guests can take the chairs with them. The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum and the Charles Allis Art Museum have been blessed with chairs — or artistic riffs on chairs — created by local artists for this auction at 6 p.m. at the Villa Terrace. The seats range from an old easy chair dressed as a cozy grandmother to a pew made from doors to a partial-chair that's now totally sculptural. Other seats for auction are ones at theatrical productions, sporting events or a table in a local fine dining establishment. The evening also features live music, hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Tickets are $25. Making a reservation would be appreciated and can be done by calling Ann Steinbach at (414) 278-8295 Ext. 5, but it isn't mandatory.

In "A Gift From the City," John Updike establishes a satirical tone in the opening sentence: "Like most happy people, they came from well inland." In the case of Jim, a young husband and successful product/packaging designer, that's way, way inland, meaning Minnesota. »Read Full Blog Post

Everyone who played Enemy Unknown a few years ago will recognise the scene. You've got your squad lined up. You're all in position, waiting for any sign of movement.
And then it happens. A beastly alien steps into everyone's line of sight, unaware of the trap they've just triggered.
Except there's one problem. This is XCOM 2. And traps never, never work out quite the way you want them to.
I'd hate to be the commander that witnessed such atrocious aiming. Not that it's going to matter; with so little damage and such vast reserves of HP, I'd be surprised if that squad got out alive — especially with that kind of luck.

We Do Mind Dying! Denver Marches in Solidarity With Baltimore and AyotzinapaSubmitted by tina braxton on May 4, 2015 - 3:16am
On April 29, 2015, concerned people in Denver joined others around the country in expressing their solidarity with victims of police terror in Baltimore, Ayotzinapa, and elsewhere by marching peacefully through the streets and public parks. Heavily armed police showed up in large numbers to harass and attack the marchers.
When the march reached Civic Center Park, a cop threw down his motorcycle, ran out into the road where the swat team was riding aboard a truck, and pointed back at the non-violent marchers. Several cops then attacked and seized some of the marchers, dragging them out into the street and throwing one man against a bus. They tied up and brutalized these captives, while other cops sprayed pepper spray randomly into the crowd. Several people were hit by the pepper spray, including a 12-year-old child who screamed in pain. All those hit by the spray remained with the march. The cops attacked the crowd repeatedly, seizing more people for no reason, bring the total arrests to 11 persons. Two kidnap victims had to be hospitalized due to injuries inflicted by the police, though they had done nothing wrong and did not even resist these illegal arrests.

Oil Train Week of Action July 6-13, 2014Submitted by Matt Landon Van... on June 20, 2014 - 1:22pm
Please repost far and wide.
Are explosive Bakken crude oil trains coming through your town? / Actions you can take now!
July 6, 2014 marks the one year anniversary of the first major oil train explosion in Canada which took the lives of 47 people. The week of July 6-13, 2014 is an international week of action to mark this anniversary and make sure these folk's lives were not lost in vain. Your actions should not be limited to this one week as we are dealing with an entrenched oil and rail industry and don't settle for anything less than the a complete ban on any oil shipped by DOT 111 and DOT 111a cars.
Actions are being posted on www.stopoiltrains.org
When you organize a protest please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
We have come up with tactics here in Vancouver, Washington to take this from a defensive to an offensive fight against the oil by rail industry. Please consider using these tactics as they are and will be effective. If you begin using this tactics please contact us so we can help document your work. If you need tech support contact us.
Take care, matt landon with Vancouver Action Network vancouveractionnetwork.blogspot.com
Check out this map to see if oil trains are coming through-- http://priceofoil.org/rail-map/
Oil trains are bad because they have blown up at least 8 times in the last year killing innocent railside residents and polluting the environment. As the US and Canada have increased their oil extraction and production--and as resistance to oil pipelines becomes more effective--the use of trains to transport oil has skyrocketed, leaving communities vulnerable to explosions, oil spills, and unmonitored oil train air emissions. We must take action now to stop this trend!

The March For A World Without Police and Zombies by Phillip ReynesSubmitted by phil on October 22, 2012 - 12:32pm
The March For A World Without Police and Zombies by Phillip Reynes
It was a beautiful fall night this past Saturday as people gathered for the third anuual March For A World Without Police. The police presence was oppressively heavy which made me wonder at the judgment of our new lair and chief; oh, excuse me I mean Chief of police, who supposedly is a reformer but to anyone here this night seemed to want to provoke trouble. Chief White has a credibility problem with this community ever since the march in February where he at his press confrence fragrently lied about the arest and the reasons for it at the March. COIMC took over 1,1oo pictures on that march and nothing he said about water balloons full of urine or excrement was true!! That was not a good start for Chief White and this march just serves to show that he thinks dissent can be quelled through intimidation.
August 21st: All in the Streets Against the PoliceSubmitted by spamsucks on August 7, 2012 - 8:38am
Tuesday August 21st
La Alma Park (13th and Mariposa)
Justice for Kevin Ryberg!
End Denver police terror!
Free Amelia Nicol!
Solidarity with those resisting state repression in the Northwest!
On July 31st, metro area police murdered yet another unarmed person. 22 year old Kevin Ryberg was shot multiple times while being held in the back of a Denver police cruiser while it was en route to the District 2 police station in Northeast Denver.
Ryberg is alleged to have assaulted the officer driving the car. Police claim he was able to slip out of his handcuffs and somehow get through a metal and plexiglass security wall that specifically exists to protect a police officer from a passenger attacking them. A second police vehicle came up alongside the car. It is unclear which officer shot the suspect, and how the events transpired.
At least one of the officers involved in the shooting, Randall Krouse, has a history of lying about suspects assaulting officers, not to mention using racially inspired epithets against suspects. According to the Denver Post, "In January 2006, Krouse used a Taser on the neck of a handcuffed drunk, Kenneth Rodriguez, 46, who ended up serving four days in jail after Krouse filed a report falsely accusing the suspect of assaulting another officer. A videotape of the incident showed Krouse asking, "Understando Taser?" before using the Taser while escorting the belligerent but unarmed Rodriguez into a holding cell."
The dust has barely settled on this most recent shooting, but already it is hard not to think of the various incidents in recent history where Denver area law enforcement have killed unarmed suspects. The names of Alonzo Ashley, Oleg Gidenko, Marvin Booker, and Emily Rice are but a few that most in Denver might be familiar with.
Rally for A Summer Without Police ViolenceSubmitted by mbc on June 17, 2012 - 2:18pm
Summer Without Police Violence Vigil & Protest
Saturday, June 30, 2012
12:00pm until 2:00pm
Van Cise-Simonet Detention Center (490 W. Colfax Avenue) and Police Admin Building (1331 Cherokee Street Denver, CO 80202)
Historically, racial profiling and police violence drastically increase over the hot summer months. The month of July commemorates the deaths of Paul Childs, Marvin Booker, Alonzo Ashley, the beatings at Denver Diner, and other incidents at the hands of Denver law enforcement. We are coming together to remember these victims of police violence, to demand accountability, and to put Denver law enforcement on notice. We are letting the City and law enforcement know that we are keeping a close eye on them this summer.
The action will serve to commemorate victims of police violence AND to launch a July campaign that includes Know Your Rights trainings, Community Racial Profiling Clinics, and much more. Take a look here for more information.
This action is being organized by the Race to Justice Coalition, a coalition of groups working on police accountability in Denver. These groups include the American Civil Liberties Union, Colorado Progressive Coalition, National Lawyers Guild, Community Reentry Project, GLBT Center, Colorado Latino Forum, and NAACP.
More about the Race to Justice Coalition
Race to Justice is a broad ACLU of Colorado campaign to address systemic problems with our state's criminal justice system. Law enforcement practices, sentencing policy, conditions of confinement and recidivism all fall within the scope of this campaign. However, the current events involving Denver's police and sheriffs have led us to start with addressing the most glaring problems of profiling and excessive force.
Spring Time for Occupy by Phillip ReynesSubmitted by phil on March 25, 2012 - 10:54am
Spring Time for Occupy by Phillip Reynes
Yes it was a beautiful day this Saturday. The sky was blue with just a few clouds and the breeze was nice, just right, as I walked to Lincoln Park. It was 10:00 and the march was not scheduled until noon and yet there where already people waiting, waving signs, talking, enjoying the beautiful morning, their spirits where high. Everyone had a smile. I looked around and noted with a smile that chalk was back. Yes, over the winter writing slogans in chalk on the sidewalk had gone away – due to the snow and damp – but it was back and the sidewalks where again covered. A sure sign the spring has arrived.
"Unite Occupy", "revolution is the only solution", and "elected officials are traitors and prostitutes" where scratched on the sidewalk along with a host of other slogans. Signs where being made and stacked up in preparation for the days march as people chatted and enjoyed the day and shared in a common purpose.

The Occupy rally and GA of 1-7-12 by Phillip Reynes
It was cold again but even so about 150 to 200 came for the GA at this Saturdays occupy rally. The turn out was good considering the cold and I have to think this means spring will bring much larger turnouts. The crowd was the usual mix of middle class people. Some where bundled up against the cold while with gloves and coats and lots of layers. A broad spectrum was represented from vets to young middle class people.
The mood was serious but at the same time light as people stood around waiting for the GA to start. What should be next? What are Occupies messages going to be as this continues? This is what was on the minds of most of the people there as we all waited.
There where vets from several conflicts present. They all seemed to be wondering similar things and the refrain I heard most was that they felt that they had been used by big business and the 1% to further this minority groups goals over the interests of the American people.
Some vets promoted a march to be taking place soon while other people waved signs decrying one issue or another.
Corporate corruption and the activist conservatives on the supreme court who sold us all out to big business where prominent sentiments.

Occupy Denver's last March of 2011 By Phillip Reynes
It was windy and cold this Saturday as I waited for the Occupy March to get to Skyline Park. The sun moved behind a building depriving me of its anemic warmth as I waited with a few others for the marchers to arrive so the we could then march to the Pavilions Mall on 16th Street. Ron Rosen's street medics as well as some people from the American Indian Movement waited with me as the wind buffeted us all. Talk of Obama's poor environmental record and the Keystone pipeline seemed to be the major topic of conversation amongst those gathered at the park.

A police lieutenant and one of her minions questioned the AIM organizer briefly about the root as we all stood around.
The marchers arrived at the Park at around 1:30pm and this swelled the ranks of protesters to about 250 or so cod and shivering souls as the march set out down the 16th street mall towards the pavilions shopping center. Drums beet a rhythm and the protesters shouted slogans as we progressed down 16th street in high spirits.

Damian & Shane - BBTH
Models: Damian Rod and Shane Stone
This scene opens with Shane slurping and slobbering all over Damian's mulatto cock. Growing bigger and bigger in his mouth, Shane uses his talented oral skills to get Damian rock hard. The action heats up as Damian and Shane passionately kiss and neck as they do each other 69. The action steps into high gear as Damian throws Shane on his back to eat his ass deep. Moving back and forth between his smooth raw hole and long hard cock, Damian gives Shane his oral delight. Damian's fantastic tonguing and rim job leaves Shane's hole quivering and begging for more. The action heats up when Damian slams his raw dick into Shane's eager bareback hole. Damian rides Shane raw as he nails his ass with deep pounding thrusts. Shane begs for it hard and deeper with every thrust he gets. Damian continues to work up his sweat as he continues to pummel Shane's hole. The action intensifies when Shane rides Damian cowboy style while jerking his own rock hard rod. Shane grinds his ass cheeks deep onto Damian's hips and rides him endlessly. The scene then takes an interesting twist as Shane tops the Top and fucks Damian raw in return. Damian so eager to prove he can be a great bottom too rides Shane's raw dick reverse cowboy as he strokes and tugs on his own cock. Shane power fucks his ass with quick punishing thrusts. The scene reaches its climax when both these guys shoot their wads and drain their nuts. Damian gets a squirt full of Shane load in his mouth and on his lips and returns the favor as he busts his nut all over Damian's mouth and lips. The scene concludes with each of these guys kissing, licking, and tasting one another while covered in their own sweat and juices.

|WikiProject Computing
|(Rated Start-class, Mid-importance)
|This article has been mentioned by a media organization:
Added paragraphs[edit]
I added three paragraphs. I hope it's not too verbose. Maybe scalability should be described as expandability, and ability to load balance or maintain performance despite difference in resources and added load?
Scalability: controlling for costs[edit]
Every problem takes certain resources to solve: in software engineering as in many areas these are labour (including skills, knowledge), capital goods and time. There are also various parameters for success, including system performance, system complexity (maintainability), system flexibility, financial cost, etc.
Scalability is the ability to change the system so as to benefit one or more of the parameters by increasing the resource input in a chosen mix.
What that mix might be will vary according to the situation: in the dot-com boom people were fixated on being first to market, and were willing to throw capital good and labour at any problem to achieve increased system performance (i.e. to cope with more users) but demanded that absolutely the minimum time should elapse before the the next release. When that bubble burst, time, performance and flexibility (the ability to do new, unforeseen things) became much less of a factor, but financial cost, labour, capital goods and maintainability became seen as much more important.
A scalable system is therefore one that allows (in the first case) more people and money to be thrown at the problem to achieve greater performance and capability very rapidly or (in the second case) people and money to be taken away without seriously impacting on the current performance or causing a failure of maintainability; this latter is "scaling down". A system is commonly said to be "not scalable" if it performs poorly in this regard.
A system that scales well according to the assumptions at its original design time, and also has sufficient flexibility to scale well when the controlling paradigm changes dramatically, is either a careful compromise (and so not highly optimised for its original design goals) or is a work of rare genuis.Msahutty 00:40, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I'm responding to the "Dubious" tag, where virtualization is considered "almost always" less expensive than adding new computing systems. Recently, a number of computers are quite hard to expand, yet have a low initial cost. Kenneth Parker, Seattle, WA [User:sea7kenp] 04:11 4 Dec 2012 (PST) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sea7kenp (talk • contribs)
Total throughput[edit]
I changed the definition to describe "total throughput" instead of "performance". The addition of resources to a scalable system increases the total amount of work done in a unit of time, but individual users may not see an improvement in performance (and may even see degradation).
IS THERE AN IMAGE[edit]
to illustrate the "vertical" and "horizontal" scaling part? A simple xy graph would work. Erudecorp 03:24, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Since Scale is being treated as a VERB here, it begs for the Wiktionary entry be to be expanded.[edit]
Scale is traditionally a noun. Scale is what fat people are afraid of. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 02:23, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
Black Swan[edit]
I moved the section on the Black Swan. If this is included, it should not be in the intro. I wonder if it should be included at all, but as I have an allergy for gurus (especially management gurus!) and their name dropping, it is better that more objective people decide. Klungel (talk) 11:56, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Then you shouldn't include Bondi as reference, met him, he consists only of management and has ideas to measure some data which where already measured... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 10:43, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Scalability - Had to add that definition to my spelling checker... Scalability intrinsically implies not only increases in dimensions, but also decreases in dimensions. Is there another section that deals with decreasing dimensions, i.e. decreasing X, Y, Z. For something to be truly scale able it would seem that it would scale in both directions. Or even a combination of whatever scales apply. Technology (imo) should not concentrate only in the direction demand goes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikicadger (talk • contribs) 01:52, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
scalable algorithms[edit]
A comment about the line on quadratic growth in the third paragraph of introductory section: if n is the size of the input, then the _algorithm's runtime_ (e.g., the number of comptutations required) should be less than n^2. right now it says that n should grow slower than n^2, which doesn't make any sense. Phuf (talk) 22:09, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm a woman that clings onto betrayal!Originally Posted by {Axtlár}
Anyway, forgetting about that, I really thought there were more deserving characters than ROB, even if they were clones. I was never particularly fond of Young Link, but he does fit in more than Wind Waker Link, which is aesthetically slaugtering to the game. I need more information about him, but I have no idea why anyone would prefer him to any of the other characters, he's just a watered down Link.
I was with you no the Ness thing, but I do hate him as well.
I just want my clones. There's no harm in clones!

CoolerMaster Aquagate MAX review CPU liquid cooling

A test on the CoolerMaster Aquagate MAX. This system is designed to be used inside your computer case for a completely self-contained system. If you are looking for a liquid cooling system to use for your performance computer the Cooler Master Aquagate Max may be just what you need. Dual 1200mm radiator, excellent looking reservoir and 400 liter/h pump, nice thick tubing and a very glossy water-block. A very interesting fact is .. it's not very expensive. Read article

Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles
Ass Creed indeed.
- Linking the future and the past
- Exploring large, open cities
- Fluid combat system
- Beautiful visuals and rich sound
Much like Altair himself, Assassin's Creed for the DS is an unlikable mess. Eschewing the aspect of the console game that was actually interesting -- future/past memory manipulations -- the portable Creed poses the question that only a few people really asked: What happened during Altair's life leading up to his pursuit of the Templars?
The rest of us pretty much assumed that -- hey, just like in the console game! -- he spent most of the time killing people in cities. And instead of taking the opportunity to challenge that basic assumption and fully flesh out a character that badly needed it, Ubisoft and Gameloft elected to take the easy road: run-of-the-mill 3D action with occasional text boxes that reveal Altair's pre-Desmond life to be thoroughly mundane, even by nonassassin standards. There isn't even a supporting cast to make Altair interesting by association -- just another gamut of interchangeable guards, insiders, and Templars talking nonsense about chalices and documents.
Linking the future and the past
|[Click the image above to check out all Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles screens.]
Even though a handful of character abilities and free-running ideas make the crossover to the DS, there's nothing "open" about the exploration or level layout. You're basically running through a Prince of Persia-type obstacle course, replete with unrealistic jumping pathways, swinging boulder traps, and of course, deadly spikes. Despite the 360 degrees of movement you experience while either falling off a phantom ledge or missing jumps entirely, there's really only one way for you to proceed: Follow the green arrow.
In fact, Creed embraces the gaming cliché hall of fame: Why does an explosive barrel spontaneously ignite when I move within five feet of it? Why are there seven snakes hanging out in a square plaza guarding the only two obvious safe points? Why can a catapult hit me behind a wall at an impossible angle? Fallen enemies give orbs that replenish health and let you upgrade weapon power, and some boss battles require timed button presses to execute attacks. Other bosses stand out of harm's way and snipe at your health bar while you fend off waves of mindless, constantly-blocking guards. That's always fun. And if you were one of the critics of the console game's repetitive interrogations and pickpocket missions, well...a handful of terrible Operation and Elite Beat Agents cloned minigames might change your perspective on how bad things can really be.
Exploring large, open cities
|[Click the image above to check out all Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles screens.]
It's unfortunate that there wasn't much inspiration here, because the basics of the combat system are actually kind of OK. Just like the console version, the DS version suffers from enemies preferring to be audience members instead of participants during battle, which leads to a lot of "tap-tap-tap" combos aimed at whittling away one guy's health bar. Counterattacks are bit less responsive as well, and they're practically ineffective against the tougher guards and Templars who just laugh as they toss you aside. Throwable bombs are added to Altair's arsenal, but looking down to the touch screen to switch weapons shaves off precious seconds in the heat of combat, so it's more worthwhile sticking to the sword. There's little incentive to improvise counters and put together a more graceful battle scene -- more often than not, you just want to get to the next green arrow quickly.
Fluid combat system
It's on the DS...
Beautiful visuals and rich sound
...which doesn't automatically mean that it can't look and sound good, but seeing -- and especially hearing -- it wouldn't do much to convince you otherwise. Like most 3D DS games of similar caliber, blur and low resolution defeat whatever triumphs the art style accomplishes. Not much can be done about that, but the sound in this game is atrocious. Looping "crowd" samples that are supposed to represent laughter sound like cries of agony, game music kicks in and out with little rhyme or reason, and for certain enemies and obstacles they didn't even bother with sound effects (hope you can make a good catapult sound in your mind).
With everything crossed off the list, there's just not much left to like.

See Jamie Lynn Spears Grab a Knife, Break Up Fight in Just-Released Video
Jamie Lynn Spears is a knife-wielding superhero ... a bread knife, anyway.
Jamie Lynn Spears is a knife-wielding superhero ... a bread knife, anyway.
You don't want to mess with Jamie Lynn Spears.
Jamie Lynn Spears has come a long way since she moved to Nashville with the dream of making it in country music.
Jamie Lynn Spears, the baby sister of Britney Spears, is forging her own, post-Nickelodeon career path with her first country single 'How Could I Want More.' The video for the ballad wisely keeps things simple, so that we focus on Spears' beautiful voice and her slice-of-life-and-love song without too many gets-in-the-way visuals drawing attention away from what matters most.
Eric Church sure knows how to make an entrance. The 'Cold One' singer walked unassumingly on stage Saturday night at Country Jam Colorado, picking the electric intro to 'The Outsiders.' Within moments his band had filed in, preparing for a chorus that was explosive -- literally.
