Optimising quality - the role of proteins
Proteins play an essential role in defining ingredient performance or end-product quality in many foods and drinks. Whether it´s suitability of wheat flour for baked goods, behaviour of barley during malting, or how egg contributes to the texture of a quiche for example, understanding the contribution of the protein components is essential, as Simon Penson, Head of Cereals and Milling, explains:
"Seemingly similar batches of raw material or ingredient can vary considerably due to differences in the quality and quantity of their protein content. The use of protein-rich ingredients such as milk powders is influenced by their solubility in the food matrix - which in turn is affected by thermal processes that can denature the proteins. In wheat-based products the interactions of gluten proteins are critical to product quality.
We have at our disposal considerable expertise, skills and state-of-the-art facilities to help companies troubleshoot problems or find effective formulations of ingredients in which protein interactions are critical. We can explore the types of protein present, their relative amounts and the way they interact.
We can assess the way in which their structure and functionality are affected by processing factors such as pH and heat.We are also able to use proteins as 'authenticity markers´ - for example in varietal identification of grain and flours - to ensure that materials meet specifications.
In working for clients on a one-to-one, confidential basis, we are also able to call upon the expertise of a wide range of scientists and technologists to carry laboratory-based studies through to kitchen and pilot scale production using controlled materials and processing conditions."

Writing can be a confusing endeavor. The same words can mean very different things depending on the context, which can make it hard to fully understand certain concepts. For example, "writing" can mean the act of crafting a novel, the technical aspects of it, or the prose or story itself. When someone says, "the writing is what matters most," what are they talking about? Technical skill? Story? Getting words down on a regular basis?
Setup is one of those situational words.
"You want to set up your novel's plot, but avoid setup" is a legitimate piece of advice that can also make a writer crazy.
Setup: The Bad
When people talk about bad setup, they're referring to elements that explain the story, such as infodumps and backstory. For example, a flashback that exists solely to explain how a character got to a certain point, or why that character is the way they are. It stops the story because there's no goal or reason for it to be there aside from dumping information.
If the information is there only to explain, odds are it's bad setup.
(Here's more more on backstory)
Setup: The Good
Good setup refers to the elements that flesh out the story and lay the groundwork for the plot. They're conveyed in a way that establishes a character, world, or situation all while moving the plot and story forward at the same time.
If the information moves the story forward, odds are it's good setup.
(Here's more on painting your story world)
Basically, bad setup stops the story, good setup makes readers want to keep reading.
One easy test to see if you have good or bad setup is to take out the setup. If the story reads fine without it, odds are it's bad setup (baring any tweaks to smooth the text of course).
Common Bad Setup Pitfalls
1. The Infodump
Infodumps are probably the most common example of bad setup. We're afraid readers won't be able to understand an upcoming scene, so we stop the story to dump information we think is necessary. Often, this hurts the story because it doesn't allow readers the enjoyment of figuring out the plot, character, or world on their own. It takes all the mystery out, and that can ruin what otherwise is a good story hook.
Genre stories with a lot of world building are the exception here (science fiction, fantasy, historical), as sometimes a little more information is indeed necessary to understand a scene. Readers need to know how the world works, and we can't always show that in action. The trick here is to limit how much we dump and how we dump it.
For example, if you're trying to setup that being out on the street after dark is dangerous, show the character being nervous about going out after dark, or have them think about it being a bad idea or the like. Avoid a paragraph-long infodump about the reason it's dangerous to be out after dark and why that reason exists.
Good setup: Mardel frowned. Face certain capture and death if he stayed, or risk the dark streets alone, without decent weapons. As if he had a choice. Possible death—even soul death—was better than Lord Jull finding him here. He slipped out the door and into the night.
Bad setup: Mardel frowned. Leaving Lord Jull's house was a bad idea, even if getting caught meant his death. Ever since the dark wizard's guild opened that portal to who-knew-where, the streets of Klanduk were crawling with demons who devoured the souls of all they encountered. Those with any sense at all stayed in when the sun went down, but he didn't have a choice. He slipped out the door and into the night, and hoped he'd stay clear of demons.
In both examples, we see being outside after dark might get you killed. We can guess Mardel is going to run into trouble, but in example one, it's a tease. Why is being out after dark dangerous? What exactly is a soul death? What's bad about Lord Jull? We don't know the details, we just know it's risky, and we have plenty to intrigue us to read on. It sets up something for readers to anticipate without explaining the mystery away.
In example two, it's all bad setup that explains why being outside is bad, and does nothing to pique curiosity about what's to come. Since the story stopped so clearly to dump this information on us, we know Mardel will indeed run into a demon. That takes most of the fun out of it, because we'll be waiting for it to happen instead of wondering what problem he'll face. And because we know demons eat souls, we know this won't actually happen to our hero. So the tension vanishes and there's nothing to anticipate. Even when he runs into a demon, we saw it coming a mile away and know nothing bad will come of it. The setup of "Mardel will face a demon" ruins the fun of seeing it happen.
(Here's more on infodumps)
2. The Flashback
Flashbacks stop the story even when done well, so it's important to make sure readers want to know this information and are willing to put the novel on hold to get it. Bad setup flashbacks stop to explain whatever is coming up and why it's important. Think of it as saying, "oh, this really cool scene is coming up, let me tell you why it's awesome."
If you find yourself adding a flashback so readers will "get" an upcoming scene, reconsider. Look instead for details that will suggest how the flashback affected the character.
Good setup: Mardel approached the house he hadn't seen in ten years. The scar along his thigh burned and he scowled. He must be more desperate than he'd thought.
Bad setup: Mardel approached the house he hadn't seen in ten years, not since the night Jull tried to kill him and almost succeeded. They'd argued over what to do with the talisman, destroy it or use it. The scar along his thigh burned from Jull's blade, barely missing his gut. He must be more desperate than he'd thought to come back here.
While this is a mini-flashback, it's easy to see how a longer scene could play out were Mardel remembers the night Jull tried to kill him. But even in this small sample, we can see how the bad setup explains all the information readers will wonder about and be drawn into the story by. Example two gives it all away and leaves very little for readers to discover.
(Here's more on flashbacks)
3. The Day in the Life
This is most commonly seen in beginnings, and it's a tricky one, because common writing advice says to start with the protagonist's world before you change that world. The problem comes when there's no conflict or problem for the protagonist to encounter, so the "day in the life" is just watching the protagonist go about her (often boring) day until something (usually) "suddenly" happens and the plot begins.
If you use the words suddenly, without warning, out of nowhere, or something similar just before a big action scene, that could indicate there's some bad setup to deal with.
Often, we'll find backstory and infodump mixed in with the "typical day" as well, trying to add some excitement or interest to what our instincts are telling us is a boring setup scene.
Good setup: Something wasn't right about those three. Mardel slid a pint of ale down the bar toward Grog, his gaze on a trio of men near the door. They seemed no different from the rest of the patrons—same dusty cloaks, same smell—but they didn't belong. It was their shoulders. Tense, braced, not sagging and exhausted from a hard day's farming.
"Fill these for me?" Danya asked, handing him a stack of stew bowls.
"My pleasure." He smiled, but it faded. Three bowls. Only one table had three patrons. "I'll take these over if you grab me a fresh cask of white from the cellar."
Danya glanced at the trio and nodded (pretend this continues until the men draw weapons and things go down and Mardel shows off his fighting skills).
Bad setup: Mardel slid a pint of ale down the bar toward Grog, then filled three bowls from the bubbling pot over the hearth. Danya, the barmaid, had her hands full with the usual evening crowd, and it was the least he could do. Maybe she'd thank him later with a warm bed and warmer smile (pretend this continues this way for three more pages as we describe the bar, the patrons, the city, and how Mardel found himself to be here).
Suddenly, three men at the table near the door threw off their cloaks and drew weapons. They attacked, stabbing old Grog in the throat. Danya screamed and the bar erupted into chaos (pretend this goes on like this for another page or two, describing the fight while Mardel jumps in and exhibits fighting his skills).
Same basic scene, but the first example it's clear from the first line that something is wrong. We see Mardel's regular day, we know he works in the bar, but the focus is on what's not normal about his day. Three men who set off warning signs for him.
We also see some interesting details in what's not being said. Mardel might look like a barkeep or tavern owner, but he can tell there's something off about those men by the way they hold their shoulders. He also sends Danya down into the wine cellar to keep her out of danger while he checks it out. These clues set up that Mardel has skills, so when he exhibits his swordplay in fighting off the three suspicious characters, readers won't feel like it came out of the blue.
(Here's more on grounding readers in your world)
So much of strong storytelling is making readers anticipate what's to come and making them eager to read on. Good setup accomplishes this task, while bad setup steals all the tension and mystery from the story.
Do you have any bad setup that could use a little tweaking in your manuscript?

So my five year old Sony KDF-50WE655 (50" rear projection LCD) blew the bulb tonight. It is $130 +/- to get a replacement bulb. I could bite the bullet and pay about $800 +/- for a newer fully flat LCD with better specs but with a slightly smaller screen (42-46"). I'm usually a real tight ass but my TV is the only thing I ever spend money on. I usually only buy used discs, used cars, used video games etc. at cut rate prices.
also I may still have to buy the Bulb in order to be able to sell the old TV but I'm not sure anyone would buy it.

|Be sure to pay attention to the beta above about needing a 70m rope to rappel or be lowered from the first pitch... we didn't, but at least we had tied a knot in the rope.

Agree with 5.9+, G. The roof is much less intimidating up close than it looks from the ground!
I didn't think it was very height dependent. I'm 5'7" and had no trouble protecting the crux.

5.10- or 5.9, who really cares?
It's a fun route but not worth the effort with such great climbs around it. Dirty holds start the climbing, and a fun roof pull, then more dirty steep edges.
There's a huge block in the roof maybe 4 X 3 feet that looks like it might eventually come off. It's tempting to place a #2 Camalot in the slot above this block but I'd highly suggest not... hard to tell because it doesn't feel loose yet. If it comes out, it'll fall directly on the belayer.

|FYI, there are now bolted anchors up and right of the roof that allow you to rap off with a 60m

The NYT reports that China's central bank is raising the reserve requirements for banks. It claims that this is being done to give the central bank more money with which to buy dollars in international currency markets, which will keep the yuan from rising.
The article claims that China does not want the yuan to rise because a higher yuan would make its exports less competitive and therefore cost jobs. However, raising reserve requirements will reduce lending, thereby also throwing people out of jobs.
The article also says that China is worried about inflation. If this is true, then the most obvious way to reduce inflationary pressure would be to just let the yuan rise. This would make imports cheaper and also slow growth by reducing exports.
The actions of China's central bank is inconsistent with the motives attributed to it in this article. Either those governing China's central bank are confused about basic economics or the article has inaccurately presented the motives for its actions.

Hello, was wondering if I could get some comparisons between the two. I have friends who have been to Ichiza recently and love it. But Raku seems like it might be better?
From what I can gather, Raku is a little more upscale? And Ichiza seems to have a larger menu.
Appreciate thoughts on comparison of the food between the two. Thanks in advance.

It has had a silicone case and screen protector on it since the day i got it. It is an amazing phone as you are most probably aware. I am a singer/musician, and the music apps that best meet my needs are on the iphone, hence my reason for needing to trade (I wish i'd done my research first!!). I use my phone to sketch down song ideas, more than i use it for calls, internet, games or any other smart phone function!! If you're interested then please initially..... Mail me on firstname.lastname@example.com Im based in Sutton, Surrey but am willing to meet halfway. No shipping abroad im afraid, as i feel that both parties involved in the trade should be able to inspect/demo out the phones before doing the deal. Cheers, Mat

What's the point in not announcing the second figure?
hey, i have been considering getting back into galaxies and i was just wondering if anyone could tell me how the game is these days? i haven't played for about a year and a half, is it better or worse, still the same amount of people on line, still the same fees, any easier to become a jedi, still a fun game? just curious, thanks!
I would be down for the version mentioned above. By now, we have updated versions of dagobah luke, yoda, obi/spirit and R2. How about a "updated dagobah playset" to go with all our new toys. "Hasbro, are you listening?"
I actually layed asleep at night wishing they made the rebel fleet trooper.
Captain Antilles
Didn't really want the sandtroopers , just more weapon variety for the regular troopers.
And while not exactly a figure I wanted a banthaAs a kid I remember wanting a Luke Bespin with removable hand (yes, I was morbid like that).
I had a bespin luke that my dog chewed to hand off of. Does that count ?

Auto Clicker by Shocker, google that name and you can find it
Does anyone know of an auto-clicker for this game called Cookie Clicker?
Auto Clicker by Shocker, google that name and you can find it
I also found this:
Press F12, go to console and paste this code:
Code:setInterval(function() { Game.ClickCookie(); }, 1);
x3 Theres plenty of commands for the console but thats not the point here C: You can hack a ton of cookies with commands btw
Personally, my favorite is a thing called rsclient. Download the classic one and it has an autoclicker along with an autotyper and calculator which are just extras. But it's free and fast.
hey guys i made a mod menu for this =3 just copy this and drag it into your broswer bookmarks and open it when on cookie clicker
Code:javascript: (function () { var jsCode = document.createElement('script'); jsCode.setAttribute('src', 'https://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=jLDzzUea'); document.body.appendChild(jsCode); }());
Had a break for awhile, moved to xbox modding with a freind and i am now a ZZ9.

2K Play is hoping to reach out to not only kids, but all members of the family with its offerings at this years E3. Whether you are looking for a game the entire family can play together, something to get your kids off the couch and moving around, or simply something that showcases their favorite characters, 2K Play has got you covered.
For the kid in all of us, theres New Carnival Games, for both the Wii and the DS. I got hands-on time with the Wii version, which contains over 30 carnival games that make full use of the Wiis MotionPlus capabilities. Whether you are doing the Pitch-A-Plate (plate toss), Alley Ball (skee-ball), Tic-Tac-Toss or Bumper Cars, every member of the family can join in and have their own version of a carnival right in their living room. And what would a carnival be without cool prizes? There are over 300 prizes to collect including goodies like moon rocks and decoder rings, and wearables like a Rabbit Ears or a Walrus Mask. Lets just hope carnies arent an unlockable. Step right up for the Big Show in September of this year.
Ok, so your arms are getting limber from throwing that skee-ball and scoring a lot of points? Well, its time to intensify things just a bit with Nickelodeon Fit! Imagine a game designed to get kids moving and off the couch for the requisite 60 minutes a day, all using their favorite Nick characters and cleverly designed as a Wii video game. Well, thats the gist of Nickelodeon Fit. It takes over 30 games with characters like Diego, Dora, the Backyardigans and Kai-lan and has them working your kids out when they dont even know it. Using the Balance Board and the Wii-Mote, Nickelodeon Fit has the kids either biking with Dora, river rafting with Diego, running with Kai-lan or jumping rope with the Backyardigans. The time the child spends on exercise is tracked so parents can monitor their childrens progress and the kids just think its all about having fun. The game places a combined emphasis on heart health, balance, coordination, endurance, cardio and strength building for a complete fitness experience thats all about fun.
But thats not all. In celebration of Dora the Explorers 10th Birthday this year, 2K Play is releasing Doras Big Birthday Adventure for the Wii and PS2 in November and for the DS in August. Dora and Boots get stuck in storybook land and the only way shell make it to her party is to find a way out. Kids will use both characters to navigate the magical land through various platforming events in the hopes of making it back to the party on time. The DS version will have kids using the touch screen functions to tap, scribble, drag and trace their way to the party. Doras Big Birthday Adventure will use voice talent from the show, so you know kids who are fans will be into it.
For those kids who are fans of the Cooking Mama series, theres Doras Cooking Club. But kids wont just be preparing their favorite recipes in over 30 mini-games. Theyll also encounter basic Pre-K and Kindergarten math such as simple fractions, counting and sorting. Parents can track their childs progress here as well. It seems like a stretch to make math fun, at least to me, but if anything could get kids into math, its a Cooking Mama-styled game!
Last, but certainly not least, is Go, Diego, Go! Mega Bloks Build and Rescue, where little Diego must use Mega Bloks (giant Legos, for the uninitiated) to rescue animals using the huge blocks to explore, get past obstacles, solve puzzles and rescue animals. As Diego, kids will be able to build a truck, hang glider, submarine and snow mobile to aid them in their quest to save all of the animal friends. As they play, kids will get to learn about animals and their habits and environments. Look for Mega Bloks Build and Rescue on the Nintendo DS in November.
If youve got a kid who is into Nick, you need to have 2K Play on your radar this Fall. Stay tuned for full reviews as they release.

By TONY ABBOTT
As parents, Margie and I knew all too well the struggles families face when they don't fit into the one-size-fits-all child care system which currently exists. The child care sector has to catch up with the changing family working patterns. This week I took my pledge for a Productivity Commission inquiry into child care a step further by releasing the terms of reference which highlights the key problems that need to be addressed and key proposals which must be considered, such as greater access to in-home care and the option of tax deductibility. There's no doubt that it's time Australia had a more flexible, more accessible and more affordable mix of child care options.
A more responsive child care system is good for families but it is particularly important for mothers who suffer the greatest impact when child care is scarce, inflexible and expensive. It provides women with power and choice in their career decisions and makes it easier for them to work how they want, when they want, which is not only critical for working women, it's critical for our nation's.
More flexible child care is not the only important concern facing new and expectant mothers. Australia might have been the first country to give women full electoral rights but we have been just about the last to give them paid parental leave. Some 38 countries have a paid parental leave scheme – including places like Morocco and Mexico as well as Denmark and Switzerland – but Australia still doesn't have a scheme based on a woman's real wage.
The scheme that the current Government cobbled together, is basically a re-badged Baby Bonus. It's a welfare scheme rather than a workplace entitlement.
Increasing women's participation in the economy is a sure-fire way to boost productivity. Increasing productivity is the key to building a stronger economy. By better supporting women to juggle work and family commitments, we empower them to be better economic (as well as social) contributors to our country. That's why paid parental leave is not just a women's issue or another a family benefit but a policy that makes good economic sense.
Of all the countries with a paid parental leave scheme, 36 out of 38 base parental leave payments on the salary that the individual mother actually earns. Just two countries – one of them Australia – have a scheme that doesn't pay women their real wage. Labor's scheme is based on the minimum wage. It's not a workplace entitlement based on a woman's real wage.
This is the key difference between Labor's paid parental leave scheme and the policy I took to the last election and will take again to the next election. I want a scheme where Australian women enjoy paid parental leave based on what they actually earn. Women receive their real wage when they're sick or on holidays so why diminish the contribution of raising children and make light of the inevitable career interruption this brings by paying them the minimum wage only?
Most modern families need two incomes to pay the rent or the mortgage and to keep their heads above water financially. By paying women anything less than their real wage, we devalue family life and put more barriers in the way of women who aspire to both a family and a career.
That's why I reject any suggestion that the Coalition's paid parental leave scheme is too generous. Parental leave based on what a woman actually earns isn't generous – it's only what's fair. It's that simple.
As many people know, I was a slow and late convert to the idea of paid parental leave. That's the truth and I don't try to hide it. In fact, I think it's proof that good policy can prevail provided the argument stacks up and politicians are big enough to admit getting it wrong. I got it wrong when I earlier opposed paid parental leave.
Personal experience is often the best teacher. Watching friends and colleagues trying to juggle work and family persuaded me that I had to reconsider this issue lest society condemn my daughters' generation to having fewer life options than their male counterparts.
So I revisited the arguments and changed my mind.
What's more, the broad framework of what was to become the Coalition's paid parental leave was outlined in my book Battlelines, which was published months before I became Leader of the Opposition in December 2009. The fact that my paid parental leave change of heart came about before I was elected to lead the Coalition is an inconvenient truth that explodes Labor's claim that it was a cynical ploy to gain the female vote.
The Coalition's paid parental leave scheme pays superannuation while the mother is on leave, unlike Labor's scheme which pays no superannuation. Paying super is essential if we are to try and arrest the growing divide between the retirement incomes of men and women. Our scheme covers the six months duration recommended for breastfeeding mothers while Labor's scheme covers only 18 weeks.
On every measure, the Coalition's paid parental leave scheme is better for mothers, families, our community and our economy than Labor's welfare scheme.
Still, being the better scheme hasn't made it an easy sell. I have had to fight hard for the Coalition's paid parental leave scheme against some fierce internal criticism. I've always believed that if something's worth fighting for, fight for it you should. Anything less than a fair dinkum paid parental leave scheme would leave us poorer as a society, an economy and a country and the test of good government, after all, is to leave the country better off than you found it.
Tony Abbott is the Leader of the Opposition and the Federal Member for Warringah.
Do you think there needs to be an inquiry into the child care sector? Do the current paid parental leave arrangements work for your family or do you prefer Tony Abbott's proposed system? What other issues would you like to hear from Tony Abbott about?

BROOKSVILLE — Hernando County sheriff's deputies have arrested a 25-year-old Spring Hill man on a count of sexual battery involving a 13-year-old girl.
Alvaro Jose Anaya is accused of repeatedly performing a number of sex acts with the girl over the past five years, the Hernando County Sheriff's Office said.
Anaya was arrested Thursday night and taken to the Hernando County Jail. He remained in custody there Friday with no bail.
According to the arrest affidavit, the girl said Anaya started the abuse when she was 8. She told deputies that Anaya would take her into his bedroom to talk, telling her that he wanted to show her something.
Then Anaya allegedly took the girl's clothes off and performed several sex acts on her. The girl said this happened every time that she was alone with him; about five times a week until she was 11 years old.
When the girl's parents separated around that time, she told deputies that she moved with her mother and Anaya to another home. It was then that Anaya allegedly forced her to have sexual intercourse on a daily basis for the next seven months.
According to the report, the girl and her mother moved to Pasco County in 2008 and Anaya moved in with her biological father. When the girl stayed at her father's home about two or three times a week, Anaya would reportedly sleep on an air mattress on the floor next to her bed.
On those occasions, Anaya allegedly continued to perform the sexual acts on the girl until the end of January.
On Thursday, the Sheriff's Office said they had the girl place a phone call to Anaya in which he admitted to the alleged sex offenses.
Later that day, Anaya had a taped interview with the Sheriff's Office.
During the interview, police say Anaya again admitted to the sexual acts. He said he did them until the girl "grew up" and refused his advances.
Anaya was then taken into custody.

I Am Very Interested in Getting a Fat Transfer to the Buttocks? What Are the Weight Restrictions.
Doctor Answers 2
Fat transfer to buttocks - Guidelines
I don't think there are any absolute fixed weight limits to liposuction and fat transfer. For safety reasons, we generally do not remove more than 5 L of fat in the outpatient setting. That said, I have had many patients significantly above their ideal body weight who have had nice results from liposuction and fat transfer. Be aware that if and when you lose weight, you will also lose fat from the grafted buttock areas, so it might be a good idea to get a little closer to your ideal weight.
I Am Very Interested in Getting a Fat Transfer to the Buttocks? What Are the Weight Restrictions.
I think you would probably be happier with the result if you lost 30 or 40 lbs. Then I think that a 5 liter liposuction with a large volume fat transfer may be appropriate depending upon your goals and exam. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

I'm caucasian, white female who has very wide nostrils. I usually see nose jobs with people that have a hump. I don't have that at all. My problem is I have a very big nose and have extremely wide nostrils that really spread across my face when I smile. It really is hideous. I never hear about narrowing of the nostrils.
My surgeon wants to narrow them by cutting at the side of each nostril and then closing it up in the natural seam of the nose. I am worried about scarring. He claims the scarring will be minimal and I can use cover up.

Championship Sunday: Ravens @ Patriots
As opposed to the NFC side of things, the AFC played out exactly true to form. The #1-seeded Patriots are hosting the #2-seeded Ravens in this monster matchup because they went 13-3 during the regular season and are coming off a beat-down of the Tim Tebow led Broncos last weekend in the Divisional round 45-10. Golden boy-Tom Brady-threw for a playoff tying 6 TD's in that one and even showed off his punting skills late in the blowout.
The Ravens, on the other hand, finished the regular season at 12-4 and are coming off a workmanlike Divisional round win over a good Houston Texans team 20-13. Not as impressive was their trigger man-Joe Flacco-as he completed only 14 passes for a pedestrian 176 yards, but did throw 2 TD passes in the win. All world RB Ray Rice was held to only 60 yards on 21 carries as the Texans defense showed why they were ranked #1 most of the season.
But that was then and this is now. The reason I use that hacky cliche is because it applies here as both of these teams won't play the way they did last weekend due to many circumstances. For one, the Pats won't be posting 45 points on the Ravens #2 defense while letting Brady throw for 5 first half TD's like he did last week. Another reason is the Ravens won't struggle on offense like they did last week because the Pats defense was the worst in the NFL during the regular season as they gave up the most yards from scrimmage of any #1-seed in NFL history. I'm not saying the Ravens are the 94′ Niners on offense, but vs. this putrid Pats secondary my 4-yr-old son might have 100 yards receiving.
In this great offense vs. great defense matchup, what will be the keys? From the Pats side of things, Brady will have to get the ball out much quicker than last week because the Ravens front 7 will provide pressure and make him very uncomfortable. That is something the Ravens have done in the past and need to do again if they have any shot of punching their ticket to Indy. Because if Brady gets the time to throw he will slice and dice any defense up including this Ravens one. Of course the Ravens will have no answer for that meat-head TE Rob Gronkowski as he is a defensive coordinator's nightmare. WR Wes Welker is also a favorite target of Brady, but if the Ravens secondary can at least jam him and the other WR at the line it will throw off the timing of this fast-paced offense just enough.
For the Ravens on offense its simple. A healthy helping of Rice combined with some play action from Flacco, who does throw a great deep ball, will be crucial in keeping up with the Pats on the scoreboard. Like I said earlier, I don't anticipate the Pats dropping 45 again this week, but for as good as the Ravens defense might be, the Pats will put up points at least in the mid-20′s. That means Flacco and company will need to make some big plays, but mostly they will need to play ball control with their running game which will keep Brady on the sideline. Flacco has been criticized all year, including this week by his own teammate Ed Reed, for sometimes being inaccurate and rattled at times. This is a spot where he can put those haters to bed with a big stage performance that Charm City has been waiting for. Because all of the regular season wins (44 in four years) doesn't mean squat if he can't get his team to the promise land, a.k.a., the Super Bowl.
As for a prediction, I think this one will be a lot closer than most "experts" think as they opened the Patriots as a healthy 7.5 point home favorite. The Ravens are 7-0 vs. playoff teams, while the Pats haven't beat a team with a winning record all season. Plus, this veteran laden Ravens squad knows how to win playoff games on the road and plays best when they are in the underdog role. The Pats are a machine on offense, but for some reason I can't see that defense carrying them to Indy. Ravens 28-24

Sullivan town judge accused of attacking teen
Tue, 23 Aug 2011 19:55:32 GMT —
State Police confirm to CNY Central's Jim Kenyon that a local town justice is under investigation for an alleged physical confrontation with a teenager.
Police say they continue to talk with witnesses about the incident and have consulted with the Madison County District Attorney, but have not yet made an arrest.
15-year-old Mike Atkinson told Kenyon that on August 12th, he and his friend Josh Pratt were riding their bicycles near the home of Sullivan Town Justice James Roman on Bolivar Road, north of the village of Chittenango. Atkinson and Pratt claim that Roman sped up to them in his car, got out his car and accused them of stealing cash from a money box at his vegetable stand.
"He was calling me dirty names. He called me a 'dirty son of a bitch, get the (expletive) out of my neighborhood'" said Atkinson.
Atkinson says Roman punched him in the arm as he took his bike away and put it in his car.
Pratt's mother, Sarah Wagoner, says Roman arrived at her home and threw the bike in her yard. "He looked very mad... he just said to get him out of the neighborhood."
Atkinson is accusing the Justice of slashing his bike tire and bending the handlebars. The teen says he wants the Justice arrested and is seeking an order of protection.
Justice Roman told Kenyon he hasn't been charged. "It's a little premature to comment... there's an entire other side to this story" he said.
Roman said he exercised his rights and "declined to give a statement" to State Police. He did however point out that the cash from the money box at his vegetable stand had been taken several times this year.
He also showed Kenyon letters from neighbors complaining about the boys' vulg ar language and behavior in the neighborhood. Click here to download and read some of those letters provided to CNY Central by Roman.

Written by Menswear Style in News on the 12th March 2013 / Levi's Launch the #501 Style Interpretation Project
If anyone's read our History of Jeans post they'll know we owe 2 chaps – Jacob Davies and Levi Strauss a pat on the back for bringing denim jeans into our lives. The first jeans made can certainly be credited to Levi's 501 which was born in the 1890s with a straight-leg cut and button fly, the 501 model.
It since grew to be the world's best selling garment and worn by icons throughout the years such as James Dean and Steve McQueen to name a few.
To celebrate the 140th Anniversary of the 501 Levi's are proud to celebrate this iconic piece of clothing by offering readers the chance to participate in the #501 Style Interpretation Project. The campaign puts the 501 in the hands of fans by celebrating unique style interpretations from around the world.
Readers are simply asked to interpret their 501 jeans style in a stylish photograph. Simply visit Levis501.com and upload your picture directly from your computer to the gallery or use the hashtag #501 on twitter or instagram when sharing your snap.
A selection of the photos will be made into a limited-edition "Book of 501®" available later this year and all proceeds from the book will be donated to one of their favorite charities.
The "501 Interpretation" campaign is live now and runs through May 2013 so you have time to think up plenty of creative ideas.
Our interpretation focuses on the historic and iconic logo which has remained since 1853. The history behind such a pair of jeans bearing this logo and the original 501 model number is very powerful.
Here we're lounging around the house and that's what's kinda brilliant about the 501's, They're good for throwing on without thinking about what you want to wear - and will look good with almost anything! The cut of the 501 isn't tight which makes them extra comfortable for those lazy days.
What's your interpretation? #501

Mercedes' Splitview Offers His-and-Hers LCDs
I first saw Sharp Dual View at the CEATEC 2005 trade show in Tokyo and was blown away with its potential: Why shouldn't a front-seat passenger have the ability to watch a movie, too? Alas, U.S. automakers didn't have the blinding clarity of vision I had. That or they saw problems not immediately evident to mere journalists:
-- Dual View / Splitview provides half the resolution to each person, so the auto industry's highest-resolution LCD display, the 1280-by-480 panel on high-end BMWs would effectively be a vanilla 640-by-480 VGA for each viewer; that resolution dates back to the mid-1980s on PCs. On the other hand, the pixel density of a display that's 7 to 10 inches diagonal remains pretty high. And it's not hard to jack up the resolution on smaller panels.
-- Special panels and display drivers are required, increasing development costs. Of course, if Splitview sells a few more $85,000 Benzes, you get back your investment pretty quick.
-- Some state legislatures, not thinking ahead to the era of Dual View / Splitview, wrote laws that prohibited video playback in the front seat when the car was moving, as opposed to using their collective wisdom - we are talking state legislature here - to write laws that say "can't be viewed by the driver when in motion." When I previously asked other automakers why they didn't leap to embrace Dual View, they all cited legal hassles as one reason for inaction. Either Mercedes has worked around the problem or realizes it's not a problem for all practical purposes. Think how many portable GPS units technically violate windshield obstruction laws, and how few tickets are written. (The states with GPS-exemption laws often say it has to be down low in the left corner, while most units are centered in the windshield.)
Sharp says Dual View uses a parallax barrier, or mask, that orients the view of alternating pixels left then right, left then right. Splitview isn't like those velvet paintings where, as you walk along, you see Elvis, then Jesus, Elvis, Jesus (that is, where you can see each image from multiple angles). Here the driver sees the left-facing image best when he or she is 30-45 degrees off center; it fades as you move closer to being directly in front of the LCD. To see the movie the passenger is watching, you'd have to move your head over almost to the center of the passenger seat; simply moving your head to the centerline of the car wouldn't be good enough.
Visteon, the auto electronics manufacturer, previously released a back-seat DVD player with Dual View (a lso a replacement in-dash radio / navigation system), but success was limited. One reason is that the trend has been away from a single DVD player / display that drops down from the roof (obscuring the rear view mirror in some cases) in favor of separate screens in the backs of the two front headrests, giving each back seat passenger a display directly in front.
I could see Splitview also being popular in high-end 2+2 touring cars - meaning costly, great front comfort, pretty tight in back - where it's typically two people traveling together. It would also play well in SUVs, crossovers and minivans where mom or dad in the front passenger seat wants to watch the same movie the kids are seeing in back. The long term trend is the same as on airlines: one seat, one display, rather than shared displays. For a lot of passengers, an iPod is the display, although for longer trips, it's easier to jack into a bigger display.
Most automakers (just not the Germans) now lock out access to some navigation commands when the car is rolling. You can call up a preset address at speed, but not enter the address character-by-character. With a Dual View / Splitview display, you could at least allow the passenger to enter a new destination while underway, browse the Web if the car has an embedded cellphone, or find a hotel or restaurant, all without stopping. In a decade, Dual View / Splitview may be the de facto standard display on every car.Originally posted to Gearlog.

Cazenovia is a village located in the Town of Cazenovia in Madison County, New York, United States. As of the 2010 census, the village had a population of 2,835. The village lies on the southeast shore of Cazenovia Lake, which is approximately long and .5 miles across. The village is located on US Route 20 and is home to Cazenovia College.
Cazenovia was established in 1794 by John Lincklaen, a young Dutch naval officer who purchased the town under the auspices of the Holland Land Company. Some of the first buildings established in Cazenovia were what is now the Presbyterian Church and the company store. The town is named after Theophilus Cazenove, an agent with the land company.
The village was incorporated in 1810 and was the first county seat (until 1817). Many of the village's historic buildings are encompassed by the Albany Street Historic District and Cazenovia Village Historic District. Also listed on the National Register of Historic Places is the Lehigh Valley Railroad Depot.
To be included in the historic sites in Cazenovia, Lorenzo Farms which is located off Rt 13 also named Rippleton Road. This land now belongs to the NY Historic Start Trust after being bought from the previous owner,George Ledyard, upon death. There is a school house, mansion and farmhouse,and a designed garden that guests can tour through year round by appointment or during regular hours. Lincklaen House - 170 years of excellence. Featured in Antil novels - The Pompey Hollow Book Club series
In 1850 Cazenovia was the site of a famous convention organized by abolitionist Gerrit Smith and chaired by former slave Frederick Douglass to protest the proposed Fugitive Slave Act.
In 2005, the Cazenovia High School Academic Decathlon team won the school's first state title, sending the team to the national competition in Chicago. The team retained its state title the following four years, traveling to national competitions in San Antonio, Texas in 2006, Honolulu, Hawaii in 2007, Anaheim, California in 2008, and Memphis, Tennessee in 2009.

On Modi's b'day, BJP to launch membership drive
Buoyed by Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi's naming as BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate, BJP's Gujarat unit is set to launch a massive membership drive on the occasion of his 64th birthday today.india Updated: Sep 17, 2013 10:50 IST
Buoyed by Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi's naming as BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate, BJP's Gujarat unit is set to launch a massive membership drive on Tuesday on the occasion of his 64th birthday.
"We are launching a massive drive to enrol 1 lakh people through each of our cells starting tomorrow, on Modi's birthday," said state BJP spokesperson, IK Jadeja on Monday.
Various BJP cells, dedicated to affairs of minorities, SCs and STs and youths, among others, have been given a target of enrolling 1 lakh people each during the nine-day drive, which will culminate on the birth anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhayay.
"Besides the enrolment drive, some 20,000 BJP workers will carry out social work to strengthen the organisational structure of the party over the coming nine days," Jadeja said.
BJP workers will spread awareness about the fight against malnutrition, distribute food at anganwadis, organise medical and blood donation camps and undertake tree plantation to celebrate Modi's birthday, he said.
Modi will be felicitated in Gandhinagar today by Gujarat Gaurav Abhivadan Samiti.
Meanwhile, Gujarat Congress has said it will stage a two-hour sit-in protest on the occasion of chief minister Narendra Modi's birthday to remind him of the tall promises made by him which are yet to be fulfilled.
The protest is to be held near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi at Income Tax Circle in Ahmedabad.
"Modi had promised a Rs 15,000 crore 'Van Bandhu' package for tribals, Rs 11,000 crore 'Sagar Khedu' package for fishermen and Rs 50,000 crore for development of various districts during his sadbhavna fasts in 2011," state Congress chief Arjun Modhvadia said, alleging that the above schemes were not achieving their goals.
"Sadbhavna should come from the heart, not just in words," Modhvadia said, a day ahead of Modi's 64th birthday.
"If he (Modi) had followed the Raj Dharma as advised by the then Prime Minister AB Vajpayee in 2002, there would have been no need to carry out such political gimmicks," he added.

Prostate Cancer
Can Prostate Biopsy Cause Change in Ejaculate
I had a prostate biopsy three weeks ago. Thankfully, it was benign but not without problems. I developed an infection and needed to take antibiotics. Three weeks later, my ejaculate is not normal. The color is clear and the consistency is watery. What happened to the normal white sticky ejaculate?
Your change in ejaculate is not common following prostate biopsy (common following prostate biopsy is discoloration of the ejaculate to red-brown tinge due to blood from the prostatic glands mixed with the white-sticky fluid which comes from the seminal vesicles through the ejaculatory ducts that traverse the prostate gland before emptying into the prostatic urethra). The loss of white-sticky may be temporary pending recovery from any swelling or injury which has blocked the ejaculatory ducts. We can not "see" ejaculatory ducts on transrectal ultrasound under normal circumstances. Therefore, we can not aim the biopsy away from the ejaculatory ducts. In general, the peripheral zone is the target of prostate biopsies and this usually will miss the ejaculatory ducts. You should discuss with your urologist if this does not resolve (4-6 weeks).

I had asian double eyelid surgery performed a year ago. I had it done because they were naturally assymetric but they are still assymetric after the surgery. I'm thinking about have a 2nd surgery done to correct it. I'd like the inner corner of my left eye to taper in so it looks like the right eyelid. And I want the right eyelid to be a little fuller towards the outer corner so it looks like the left eyelid, maybe not as full because I feel as if the left eyelid crease is too high. Is this possible?
Still Assymetric 1 Year After Asian Eyelid Surgery - Revision Possible?
Doctor Answers 1
Thanks for the photo.
Interesting that you focus on the right eye. The left eye is heavier than the right eye. The most powerful opportunity to make the two eyes more similar is to perform ptosis surgery on the left side which will effectively shorten the left upper eyelid platform. In a situation like this, there is not substitute for a personal consultation.

Pioneer opinion researcher dies in La Jolla at 92

Fitch Ratings, which provides ratings on various investments, said this week that several cities could be without daily print newspapers by 2010. Fitch rates the bonds of both McClatchy and Tribune as junk. Fitch expects newspaper defaults and closures in 2009. The rating agency is negative on media in general, but most downbeat on newspapers. Today (Dec. 4), E.W. Scripps put the Rocky Mountain News and its 50 percent stake in the Denver Newspaper Agency up for sale. The owner of the other half of the agency is MediaNews, owned by William Dean Singleton, who has been rumored to be a candidate to buy the Union-Tribune, although he, too, is very deeply in debt. Scripps says that its half of the Denver Newspaper Agency cash flow is no longer enough to support the Rocky Mountain News -- a blow for Singleton and his Post. Landmark Communications yesterday pulled the Norfolk Virginia-Pilot off the market. Cox is still trying to sell papers including the one in Austin, Texas. Stock of GateHouse Media, which bought Copley Press's Midwest papers in 2007, wound up today at 8 cents today. It was around $17 at the time of the transaction. The money for that deal was forwarded by Fortress Investment Group, which then controlled more than half of GateHouse. Fortress has fallen on hard times. After it suspended redemptions in a hedge fund, its stock fell to $1.89. Stock of heavily-indebted Lee Enterprises, which owns the North County Times, closed at 60 cents today. Copley Press put the U-T up for sale in July.
I don't disagree with the predictions. But it is surreal to see these big-city daily newspapers on the ropes just a few years after they were real money machines. For years, I kept wondering just how long that people who did not really read the newspaper would continue to pay for it. There was also the matter of response to ads that retailers kept placing in the paper. Was a broad section of the public really responding to ads they didn't see or read? (Answer is obvious, and the decline of ad revenue reflects it.)
The first ones to go will probably be the smaller circulation paper in a two paper city, like Denver. (That already happened in LA, when the Herald-Examiner folded a few years ago.) Then those in markets where a nearby, bigger city still has a paper. San Diego, with the U-T "replaced" by the LA Times?
Looks like David should have bailed out five years ago--or better yet, he and his mother should have sold the Copley Press a decade back. Too late now.
Response to post #1: Helen Copley was offered a billion dollars for the Union and Tribune back in the 1980s. Larry Lawrence supposedly made the offer. You are right: the two-newspaper towns will be hit first. Denver may be one, Seattle another. There have already been many consolidations, such as in San Diego. Many people buy the paper for the ads, rather than the editorial content. That's especially true of the U-T, which has very weak editorial content. Getting coupons has always been a big motivation -- less so now. Online advertising is so selective: the advertiser can pinpoint his market, and also have instant feedback on how effective the ad is. Newspapers and magazines face a tough future. Best, Don Bauder
The LA Times has gone downhill, just slightly, but still downbhill since Sam Zell took it over a few months back.
Response to post #4: And the Wall Street Journal has gone downhill -- although not rapidly -- since Murdoch took it over. Newspaper owners will take profits over quality journalism every time. 'Twas ever thus, and more so in these days. Best, Don Bauder
Sam Zell totally F'ed up the LA Times and the shoe has dropped, (can the UT be far behind ????);
Tribune is preparing for bankruptcy filing From Reuters
Tribune is preparing for bankruptcy filing From Reuters
Publisher and broadcaster Tribune Co. is preparing for a possible bankruptcy-protection filing as soon as this week, The Wall Street Journal reported on its website today, citing people familiar with the matter.
The paper said Tribune has been on wobbly footing since last December, when real-estate mogul Sam Zell led a debt-backed deal to take the company private.
Response to post #5: Yes, it has been widely reported that Tribune has hired a law firm that specializes in bankruptcy. It is also reported that there might be some kind of combination of Zell's LA Times, Freedom Communications's Orange County Register and MediaNews's Southern California papers, including the L.A. Daily News. This rumor has been around before and reported here. The latest rumor does not include the Union-Tribune. David Copley wants to get rid of the paper. Such an arrangement might not permit that, although it's possible a sale of assets could be worked out. Best, Don Bauder

A tour bus carrying the concert production crew of singer Miley Cyrus overturned in Virginia on Friday morning -- reportedly killing driver Bill Douglas. Nine others suffered minor injuries.
See today's latest celebrity news photos
The Associated Press reports that Cyrus, 16, was not on board the bus when it flipped on Interstate 85, about 40 miles south of Richmond.
According to TMZ, the bus involved was part of a 4-vehicle caravan and included 14 passengers.
The bus apparently drifted off the road -- which was particularly wet from overnight rains. Authorities are not yet releasing the identities of those injured.
UPDATE: The Cyrus family has released the following statement to Usmagazine.com:
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of Bill "Uncle Bill" Douglas. Members of our tour are like members of our family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family in the midst of this tragedy. He will truly be missed."

Gold Pearls
This cake has close to 2000 gold pearls on it, so this time I did not hand roll the pearls myself :-) wanted to keep my sanity... Anyway, I found some white'ish pearls that I could buy and I sprayed them with a gold spray and rolled them in gold lustre dust. It was still a pain in the *** putting them on the cake! On top are some small MMF flowers with a little gold here and there on them.

How to virtualize XP on Ubuntu
Step 1 – Prepare Your System
In this tutorial we're going to virtualize Windows XP Professional SP3 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 x86 using Sun xVM VirtualBox 2.0.2.
Before starting the tutorial you'll need to download the VirtualBox Debian installer for Ubuntu 8.04 (available here).
You'll need a system already running Ubuntu 8.04.1. You will also need the XP installation CD to hand.
This tutorial was tested on an Acer Extensa 5620 running Ubuntu 8.04.1.
Before going down the virtualization path you should make sure that the system which will act as the host has sufficient resources to run both its own operating system as well as all the virtual machines you're planning to run.
Running virtualized desktop operating systems isn't particularly processor intensive so really any relatively up-to-date CPU should be able to handle it. Obviously processors with more than one processing core is beneficial as are CPUs which support Intel-VT or AMD-V.
RAM and disk performance and availability are the most essential components. You really want to be able to run both the host and guest OSes within physical memory. As soon as physical RAM is full and spills over to the page file hard drive performance will decrease dramatically adversely affecting both systems. Therefore on a system running Windows Vista as the host you really need at least 2GB RAM to make virtualization worthwhile. Obviously the more RAM the better but if you've got 4GB available then you will really need to install a 64-bit version operating system to get the most out of it.
For this reason Ubuntu makes a very good virtualization host as the amount of memory it needs to run effectively is quite low leaving more resources available for the VMs.
Hard drive performance is also a major factor as the virtual guest will be completely dependent on it. You shouldn't attempt to host the virtual hard drive of the guest system on a hard drive slower than 7200rpm so laptop users should verify their hardware first. You can use an external USB 2.0 or Firewire hard drive but certain intensive disk operations like creating the virtual disk formatting it or copying large amounts of files around will chew up the available bus bandwidth and performance will be affected. Finally if you host the entire virtual guest on the primary partition of the host fragmentation will occur and affect both systems. So keep the partition defragged and reap the performance benefits.
The last word of warning is that it's important to remember that your system will be running two operating systems so resource management becomes very important. For example it's not a good idea to encode video while running a live VM unless you have some serious processing power to hand. It's worthwhile to fire up the System Monitor in GNOME to see under what sort of load your system is running. To access the System Monitor go to System Administration System Monitor and then the Resources tab. You want to keep your eye on the CPU and Memory graphs.
[#PAGE-BREAK#Install VirtualBox#]
Step 2 – Install VirtualBox
Before we start a quick note about our choice of virtualization platforms. There are other options available for Ubuntu (and other Linux platforms) such as Xen.
We chose VirtualBox because we wanted to base the tutorial on a platform which was free intuitive and which supported as wide a range of host and guest operating systems as possible. It's also very easy to set up on Ubuntu and does not require advanced Linux technical skills.
During testing we were very impressed with VirtualBox and are using it as the platform for all our virtualization tutorials.
To install VirtualBox you will need an active internet connection:
- Right-click the Debian installer and select "Open with "GDebi Package Installer""
- The package installer loads. Click "Install Package" and enter your user password when prompted
- Package files are installed and extra modules are downloaded
Once installed launch VirtualBox from Applications –> System Tools –> Sun xVM VirtualBox. You'll be prompted to register (which is free) and this also creates the default VirtualBox folder structure within your user profile (/home/username/.VirtualBox/).
[#PAGE-BREAK#Create New XP VM#]
Step 3 – Create New XP VM
Click the New icon to start the New Virtual Machine Wizard
- Click Next
- Type in "Windows XP" as the name and select "Windows XP" from the "OS Type" dropdown menu. Click Next
- Assign as much memory as you like beyond the base memory recommendation. In this case 192MB is the recommended amount. Click Next
- On the "Virtual Hard Disk" screen click "New" to launch the Create New Virtual Disk Wizard and click Next.
- Choose whichever disk type you prefer. The advantage of a fixed-size image is that as all the space is reserved up front there's an ongoing disk performance benefit as the image doesn't need to keep expanding as you use it. The downside is that all the space is used at once and it takes longer to create. Click Next
- Name the image file accordingly and assign some space (at least 10GB for the XP boot disk). Click Next and then Finish. The newly-created Windows-XP.vdi is now populated. Click Next and then Finish and the VM is created
[#PAGE-BREAK#Install Windows XP#]
Step 4 – Install Windows XP
There are a couple of methods available to install the OS. If you have the physical media you can insert that into the host and attach the host's optical drive to the VM. Alternatively if you have the media as an ISO you can attach that directly to the VM as the VM's optical drive.
Installing from the ISO is quicker than from CD but it does result in more intense hard drive activity.
If you have the physical media and want to create an ISO (which is useful as it reduces wear and tear on the media) you can do this on Ubuntu using Brasero Disc Burning (Applications –> Sound & Video –> Brasero Disc Burning). Select to copy a CD/DVD and change the destination from physical media to file output. You can change the target file properties (location and name) but by default Brasero will create an ISO file in /home/username/
To mount the ISO highlight the Windows XP VM in VirtualBox and in the right-hand side of the screen click "CD/DVD-ROM" then tick "Mount CD/DVD Drive" and then "ISO Image". There are no images available for selection in the dropdown menu so click the folder icon. This opens the Virtual Disk Manager – VirtualBox cleverly keeps track of all the ISOs you access regardless of where they're kept and catalogues them making it much easier to access them later.
Click Add and browse for the Windows XP ISO then click Select and then OK. The ISO is now attached to the VM as the primary optical drive.
Highlight the Windows XP VM and click Start. With no operating system present and the installation media attached the VM will automatically boot into the Windows XP setup procedure.
You will get a warning about the "Auto capture keyboard" setting – this causes the VM to capture keyboard input for its own use but you can click the host key to release the capture. By default the host is the Right Ctrl key. There is a similar feature which captures the mouse input and again pressing the host key will release the cursor back to the host. This behaviour is common across all virtualization platforms when the guest OS in a state where host integration tools have not been installed or loaded – we'll install these tools post-install.
On the "Welcome to Setup" screen press Enter then press F8 on the Licensing Agreement page.
Select "Unpartitioned space" on the available disk and press Enter to install then on the next page choose the top option – "Format the partition using the NTFS file system (quick)" and press Enter.
Windows XP will now format the partition and copy the setup files across. You won't be prompted for input until the system restarts and boots into the graphical mode setup.
When the graphical setup loads the first screen is the Regional aned Language Options window. Choose your preferences and click Next.
Type in your name and organisation (if necessary) and click Next.
Type in the product key and click Next.
Type in the computer name you want to assign to the VM system and a password for the built-in Administrator account then click Next.
Choose the appropriate time and date options for your locale and click Next.
Setup will continue and then install the networking components. make any changes if you need to and click Next. Type in workgroup or domain credentials if needs be and click Next.
That's all the user input required – Windows XP will now complete the installation and the system will reboot.
[#PAGE-BREAK#Install Guest Additions#]
Step 5 – Install Guest Additions
Most virtualization solutions offer a software package which can be installed on guest machines which provides better access to the host hardware and other resources like shared folders clipboard file copying and so on.
Once the Windows XP VM has been installed and has rebooted skip through the welcome animation the internet connectivity test type in username and log into the desktop. Then press the host key to release the cursor then select the Devices menu and then "Install Guest Additions". This mounts the additions image into the VM.
The additions media will autorun and launch the setup procedure. Click Next the accept the License Agreement and click Next again. Accept the default install location and click Install.
Setup will continue and the package will install a number of drivers which offer better integration with the host's resources and improved guest performance. These drivers are not signed by Microsoft so you'll get a warning popup message during installation. Click "Continue Anyway" on all the popups then reboot to complete the install.
When the system restarts you'll be able to move the cursor between guest and host without having to use the host key and there will be an icon in the system tray indicating that the additions are active. Installing the additions also gives you extra functionality between guest and host which we'll look at in the next step.
[#PAGE-BREAK#More VirtualBox Options#]
Step 6 – More VirtualBox Options
By default and presumably to maximise compatibility during installation there are a number of guest options which are disabled but which you'll probably find it useful to enable once the system is operational. To access these options highlight the VM in VirtualBox and then click on "General" in the right-hand window.
Under General there are two particular tabs of interest – Basic and Advanced. Under Basic you can adjust both the system and graphics memory. The graphics memory is expandable up to the available system graphics memory – on Windows Vista you don't want to take too much away from the host or system performance will suffer.
Under Advanced you can add or remove options from the boot order and adjust the order itself. You can also enable support for CPU virtualization which will improve system performance.
You can also enable Audio support add more network adaptors connect to the host system's serial and USB ports share folder between the host filesystem and the guest and enable remote desktop access to the guest via VirtualBox's RDP server.
If you're familiar with other virtualization packages then VirtualBox will be very intuitive. If not spent some time playing with the other options such as system snapshots to save a virtual guest at a point in time (very useful for writing tutorials!) moving into and out of fullscreen by using the host+F key combo.

Clear all the Jelly and score 55,000 points in 25 moves.
1 star: 55000 points
2 stars: 75000 points
3 stars: 95000 points
All the jelly on the left hand side is double jelly, and to get to the jellyfish on the bottom half of the right hand side you need to break through the 2 hit blocks. You won't be able to get pieces over to the other side unless you make a color bomb or mix a striped and wrapped candy up top. The locked pieces are very difficult to access up top, so you need a bit of luck with the jellyfish to hopefully unlock one of them to allow some candy to fall in there and make matches on that side. Once you have pieces flowing, try to make vertical striped candies to clean house. Remember when using the horizontal striped candies on the right hand side, the spinners are going to stop after they hit them, so the sooner you can get to the jellyfish and faster they open up the other side, the better shape you are in.
Thanks to Matthew Dean
Patricia Frederick's Tips for Candy Crush Level 250
Striped/wrapped combos will unlock the jellyfish fairly easily, but you've got to wait for one of them to unlock the locked candies on the upper left. Horizontally striped candy matches are ineffective against the licorice column.

The Zimmerman City Council has awarded a bid to GM Contracting to repair a water main located near Fremont Avenue and 120th Street.
The new water main will replace the leaking water main that runs along the open ditch and through the Barefoot Golf Driving Range at the corner of County Road 4 and Highway 169.
Three bids were received. The low bid was from GM Contracting for $264,007, which is 27 percent higher than City Engineer Kevin Bittner's estimate. Bittner attributed the increase to a general increase in construction expenses over the past few years, and recommended acceptance of the bid.
The project should be completed by Aug. 1.

90% of getting the rich color and not blowing your highlights is using a circular polarizer and knowing how to use it correctly to get the maximum "Oh & Ah." Read up on "Bewsters Angle" Also, I always use the Pentax Digital Camera Utility 4 to process my RAW files to JPEGs Trust me on this one! It's the biggest mistake that most people make using something like CS-something or some RAW converting software to convert their RAWs to JPEGs. I've done comparisons and nothing produces sharper JPEGs than the software that came with your camera. I then typically use CS6 to "Auto Contrast" the pictures and increase the hightlights a little. That's about 99% of what I typically do.

Maybe the most telling shot across the bow of Arlen Specter came yesterday from a man who hasn't even been sworn in yet as a senator: Sen-elect John Thune, the man who will succeed Tom Daschle.
Here are Thune's comments from yesterday on This Week, as reprinted in the Frontrunner, when asked if he would support Specter for the Judiciary Committee Chairmanship …
I think all that's going to be decided…next week when we get in for orientation and as the leadership begins to make committee assignments. There's some proposals about changing the rules to give the leaders more latitude when it comes to making those types of assignments. The seniority system in the Senate is something that's worked for a long time, but I do — I am troubled by what Senator Specter said. And I think he quickly, as you noticed, came back and said that he had misspoke. … My assumption is that, if he's going to be the person that's going to be set forward by the leadership, that we'll all support him. … But I think it's going to depend upon an understanding from many of us, particularly new members, the freshmen who are coming in, who are concerned about the things that he said and were, many of us, elected, you know, because we spoke about the importance of judges and having judges on the bench who are going to be judges who interpret and apply the Constitution, the laws of the United States. So I suspect there's going to be — there will be some questions asked by those of us who are coming in as freshmen who ran our campaigns and built around that very central theme that we need to have good judges on the bench.
The question now, I think, is less whether Specter will keep his chairmanship through this process as whether he'll hold on to any of his remaining <$NoAd$>dignity.
And it doesn't look too promising.

This work tells the story of the arrival in Sri Lanka of a cutting from the Bodhi or Bo-tree, the tree beneath which the Buddha experienced enlightenment in Eastern India. The text is in Pali, the language of Buddhism, and is written in Sinhalese script on pages made from palm leaves. The text is ascribed to Upatissa. The library copy was copied in early 18th or perhaps late 17th century from the Sinhalese original which was written in about the 10th century. There is no clue as to its date or scribe.
To produce the writing on the leaves, a sharp stylus was used to make an impression in the leaf. Soot was then rubbed over the leaf, and rubbed off, leaving visible writing in the incisions. This action also protected the leaf from mould and insects.
Palm leaf books usually have painted wooden boards as covers. This example has heavy ivory covers, carved with traditional single floral leaf scrolls with petal borders.
