It's a show that's always featured crazy reversals and stunning story arc reveals — though this most recent, Netflix-only season of Arrested Development is essentially built on intertwining story lines that eventually make sense of one another. Last night's NBA Finals halftime show, featuring Danny Green and Tim Duncan's children, felt a lot like that.
Green gave an interview with Doris Burke at halftime, then ran off at a near-gallop to the locker room. On his way there, he almost tripped over a small, seemingly unattended child:
This is how With Leather described the scene:
Danny Green… almost had his life ended when a CHILD NINJA appeared from out of nowhere and almost took him out. I don't know why there is a child ninja roaming the halls of the AT&T Center, but he's there, and you'll never see him coming.
That's a totally reasonable analysis of the situation, child ninja joke aside. When I saw it live, I thought, "Daww, that was cute, Danny Green almost ran a child over, and then waved at those other kids too."
LITTLE DID WE KNOW: The source of that near-tragic (but mostly cute) moment was none other than Tim Duncan, having an even cuter Fathers Day moment with his children… including that very same same ninja-kid:
Next week: Ninja-kid learned his sneaky ways from Manu Ginobili, whose Game 6 flop inspires Chris Bosh to put on a sexually-ambiguous rendition of "All My Children: The Musical."

My Nonprofit Reviews
Rosa M Gatti
Review for PowerPlay NYC, Inc., New York, NY, USA
I have supported this organization for several years as a corporate outreach and personal donor for these reasons:
- dedicated leadership
- well prepared girls (in learning lessons of sports activity as well as opportunities behind the scenes of sports, e.g. journalism, tv production, etc.). The girls were poised, asked good questions in the interviews. Very impressive
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Get them more financial resources to grow their reach and impact.

One of my secret pleasures is Ken Burns documentaries. Ever since I saw his breakthrough work on the American Civil War about 20 years ago I have been mesmerized by his careful and beautiful use of images, narrative, music and cinematography (another innovation). It doesn't really matter what the topic is… the Lewis and Clark expedition, Jazz or even something I don't even care about that much like Baseball, if I get to watch 10 minutes of the first episode then I am hooked for the rest of the series.
The ABC are currently screening a Ken Burns documentary titled "National Parks: America's Best Idea". Once again, its a stunningly beautiful film that makes me consider upgrading to high definition TV. While the title says that national parks are an idea (invention), it becomes very clear through the stories of different parks that they are better described as innovations.
In most cases they begin as an idea in the head of an inspired individual but as we've said many times on this blog, ideas are not the problem. In almost every case the process of creating a national park involves building a coalition of supporters and users to redefine the value of wilderness. In some instances, such as Yosemite, the originator of the idea never lived to see the park's creation. Even the awesome Grand Canyon national park was a struggle to overcome the plans by an Arizona senator to turn it into a hydro electric scheme.
Innovation is hard and ideas can be just the beginning of a long journey.

James Franco & Anne Hathaway Hosting 83rd Academy Awards!
by Ethan Anderton
November 29, 2010
Word of an offer came out of the woodwork last night, but now it's official. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced today, via press release, that actors James Franco (127 Hours) and Anne Hathaway (Love and Other Drugs) will be hosting the 83rd Academy Awards ceremony on February 27th, 2011. The move to younger talent surely comes as an effort to get a younger demographic to watch the awards telecast which has been falling in ratings for years. Though Hathaway and Franco have appeared prominently in previous ceremonies, this will obviously mark the first time either has hosted the big event.
Previously Hathaway showed off her vocal talents in a musical number with ceremony host Hugh Jackman (amongst other presenting appearances). Franco has only appeared at the awards once previously in the form of a hilarious pre-taped sketch featuring his character from Pineapple Express chilling out with co-star Seth Rogen (also in character) and famed cinematographer Janusz Kaminski. Oscar telecast producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer are very pleased to have both talents aboard saying, "James Franco and Anne Hathaway personify the next generation of Hollywood icons— fresh, exciting and multi-talented. We hope to create an Oscar broadcast that will both showcase their incredible talents and entertain the world on February 27."
Surely the telecast will use Hathaway's musical talents at some point and Franco's comedic sensibilities also help, but the two have appeared in a variety of films from the action of Spider-Man to the family comedy of The Princess Diaries, so anything is possible. The other interesting aspect lies in the fact that Franco has a good chance to be nominated for Best Actor from his performance in 127 Hours and Hathaway is somewhat in the running for a Best Actress nod for Love and Other Drugs. Unless I'm mistaken, no host has simultaneously been nominated at the very ceremony they are hosting, so that's some sort of added bonus. I guess we'll find out when the Oscars air on ABC on February 27, 2011. What do you think of all this?

No response from Java invoked from .Net
Expand Messages
- Hi,
I am quite new to web services and have encoutered a problem
from .Net.
I have built a web service from WSAD 4.05 (SOAP 2.3) that uses
doc/lit. Because there is no direct support for doc/lit in 4.xx I had
to do a bit of tweeking to get it to work (half...).
The steps I did was.
1.Wrote an own proxy that calls "messagerouter"
2.Wrote a "facade" that the proxy calls (SOAP Action)
3.Modified dds.xml to include the "facade" and set id.
The main function resides in an EJB and takes an org.w3c.XML Element
as input and returns an org.w3c.XML Element.
Now to the problem.
From WSAD I wrote a test client, and that works fine. (Not from wsdl)
But from .Net(c#) there is no response back. (From wsdl).
I can see the request coming in from .Net and the EJB kicks in an
processes the request, passes back a response to the "facade" but
from there it's gone.
A couple of things I noticed is.
1. From JAVA I use http 1.0 from .Net it's 1.1 changed in browser not
to use 1.1 but still it sends 1.1. How can I change to http 1.0 from
2. When service i invoked from java I can see the there is a close
and after thet I get the response, from .Net there is no close. Hov
can I make a "hard" close from .Net.
3. The requst in the SOAP:Body is identical from Java and .Net
Is there a basic error I am doing?? I'm going nuts...

Tribute To Animators
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Read this before voting...
Hello Newgrounds users,
This is the review :-P
This is a nice animation and obviously time was put into it, why are you hovering over the Zero? You should vote 5... maybe your vote can help your movie by giving you a save vote.. this should be added to a collection page. Wanna know why? Cause its so true, not bagging on any youngin' but usually the little ones come here and vote a 0 so they can get a blam point. I know as a flash animator how hard a project is. Sometimes you work for hours on a movie and get NADA done.. you look and make then you delete. Its a tough thing to do, even if you make crap flash its ok still to vote high or medium on it becuase you need to think about it, can you do that? can you do better? if so then do it...

ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite will not only eradicate threats but also prevent them from ever entering in the first place. Comprehensive protection defends your PC with robust firewall technology and stops identity thieves and spammers in a single, easy-to-use application.
ZoneAlarm ForceField application was created to be a lightweight software for your Web browser, designed to protect you from Web-based threats such as phishing and spy sites, theft, spyware downloads, and privacy invasions.
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security is the easy-to-use, comprehensive security solution that is based on the world's best firewall to keep out hackers, viruses, worms, and other threats. It combines the most popular firewall with antivirus, Web site filtering, privacy protection, instant messaging security and more to provide the best overall protection of any PC security suite.
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security is comprehensive, all-in-one suite is a tightly integrated set of advanced security layers that, together, create the most secure protection in the industry. Uniquely engineered to prevent threats from getting on a PC in the first place, it has won more major awards than any other security software on the market. The suite combines the robust security features computer experts demand with automatic functions that make it simple enough for novices to use.
PC Security
? Unified Scan Engine makes detection and removal of viruses, spyware, Trojan horses, worms, bots, and more faster and easier ? independently tested to provide superior protection.
? Fastest Updating Signature List detects and stops even the most recent viruses that others miss.
? 2-Way Firewall. Stops Internet attacks at the front door and even catches thieves on their way out. Our 2-way firewall proactively protects against inbound and outbound attacks while making you invisible to hackers.
? Operating System Firewall (OSFirewall?). No anti-virus or anti-spyware product is 100% effective, so ZoneAlarm invented the OS Firewall. The OS Firewall monitors behaviors within your computer to spot and stop even the most sophisticated new attacks that bypass traditional anti-virus and security suites.
? Additional Layers. Multiple layers of advanced protection provide unsurpassed security.
Identity Theft and Data Protection
? Hard Drive Encryption for Laptops. If your PC is stolen or lost, Zonealarm encryption makes everything on your computer's hard drive unreadable to unauthorized eyes ? and we even secure deleted files too.
? Identity Protection Services. Identity theft can happen to anyone, anywhere. ZoneAlarm delivers superior PC based protection and exclusive data encryption, and also offers offline ID protection services.
? Secure Online Backup. Your tax returns, your music and your photos are valuable to you. Protect your files in the event of loss, theft, accidental deletion or disc failure.
Browser Security
? Virtual Browsing. Allows users the freedom to surf with full protection against malicious software like drive-by downloads, Web browser and plug-in exploits.
? Advanced Download Protection. Automatically analyses your downloads to determine if they are safe or malicious. Includes an advanced security check that runs and analyzes the download in a protected environment.
? Dangerous Web Site Detection. Blocks spyware distribution sites and fraudulent "phishing" websites that trick you into revealing personal data.
? Keylogger & Screengrabber Jamming. Protects your identity by keeping your keystrokes, and click trails private.
? Private Browsing. Erases all cache, cookies, history and passwords and lets you browse the internet in complete privacy.
Ease of Use
? PC Tune-Up. Keep your new PC running smoothly. Automatically cleans, organizes and streamlines your computer so it runs faster.
? Automatic Operation. Focus on what you want to do, we take care of the rest.
? User-Friendly Interface. Easy for anyone to use and customize.
An inbound firewall prevents Internet attacks such as hackers from coming into your computer. Any suspicious or unauthorized communications are filtered by the firewall. However, if these threats get through your firewall your personal data could then be transmitted back out to the hacker. To catch these thieves on their way out your firewall must be capable of automatically blocking unauthorized outbound communications - ?outbound protection?.
Some firewalls don?t have what?s called ?outbound protection?. That means they can?t control information that leaves your computer. This is risky, since hackers have ways around inbound firewalls. The ZoneAlarm outbound protection references our constantly updated database of trusted programs and program behavior?so the ZoneAlarm firewall can make security decisions safely and automatically.
? Advanced Download Protection. Analyzes browser downloads in three unique ways before they can infect your PC and warns if they are malicious.
? OSFirewall?. Monitors changes within your computer to spot and stop new attacks that bypass traditional anti-virus protection.
? Free Credit Bureau Monitoring. Protects your identity with daily credit report monitoring and provides victim recovery services.
? Anti-phishing and Site Status. Blocks fraudulent websites including "phishing" sites that trick you into entering personal data.
? Keylogger / Screengrabber Jamming. Protects your passwords and other key strokes from being stolen by identity thieves.
? Two-way Firewall. Keeps hackers out by making your PC invisible online and blocking intrusions.
? Anti-Spam. Filters out annoying and potentially dangerous email.
? Hard Drive Encryption. Keeps your identity and data private in the event of PC loss or theft.
? Virtual Browsing. Allows users to surf with full protection against malicious software like drive-by downloads and browser exploits.
? Unified Scan Engine. Makes superior detection and removal of viruses, spyware, Trojan horses, worms, bots, and other malicious software faster and easier.
? Private Browsing. Erases your surfing tracks and allows you to surf the Internet in complete privacy.
? Secure Online Backup. Backs up files and restores your data in the event of hardware malfunction.
? PC Tune-up. Cleans, organizes and streamlines your computer for improved performance.
? Parental Controls. Filters and blocks inappropriate websites.

Ben Crane won the St. Jude Classic on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title since 2011, closing with a three-over-par 73 for a one-stroke victory.
Crane went wire to wire for his fifth career victory. He played 30 holes on the last day because of rain delays at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tenn., finishing the final 12 holes of his third-round 69 in the morning to take a three-shot lead into the final round.
He two-putted for bogey on the final hole to finish at 10-under 270.
Troy Merritt was second after a 71. Webb Simpson (65), Matt Every (70) and Carl Pettersson (69) tied at eight under, and Ian Poulter had a 64 to tie for sixth at seven under.

i binned hesjedal after yesterday, so he's pretty much guaranteed to go up the road. if a group can make it over the top of the Aubisque with a couple of minutes then they should stay out really, it's downhill all the way from there.
Reckon a break by EBH or Hejesdal today. Hope so anyway as they're both in my team along with Contador, Zubeldia, Farrar, Riblon, Bertagnoli, Barredo, and Devenyns.
43 comments
Right, outta the top 10 finishers i've had 5 of them in my team lately
If i score under 50 points today i think i'm just gonna give up on everything and press delete because its now spoiling rather than enhancing my viewing of the tour cause i'm shouting at the tv
Turned out I didn't have Gilbert in my team. Forgot I had swapped him for Frank yesterday
Need Vincent Jerome in LR to push my total above 50 today
Hope Dave didn't do too well today either, I was finally withing 5 points of him y'day... though have a feeling he had Thor in his team today.
... of course, chapeau to the god of thunder! Thought his defence of MJ was good, today he took it to another level
Best TdF in recent years?

Want to think beyond the limits of most user-friendly heavy games? Super Mario is just the answer for you as it takes the gamers to a next level of gaming. It not only helps you to complete the daft and barmy levels but it also comprehensively teaches you how a Mario game is made, and how challenging this task and designing process is.
And if you are not concerned with the history lectures, then Super Mario Maker allows you to craft nightmares cape of mutant Goombas and flying Piranha plants etc. and all of this is pretty cool.
Every essential component from the four franchise entries of Super Mario Bros., is there in the Super Mario Maker's super creation mode. If you have seen something new and different in any of the games and at any level, you can add that into your own game, using the user-friendly interface with which you can drop, drag, and draw anything anywhere. Unlike UGC's components there is no such barrier or hindrance that one might face while using Super Mario Maker. You can create and level and upload it then and there.
These components are divided into different sets, primarily crafted on a setting (as the underwater set) or single mechanic (as the sound effect set up). After spending five minutes in the create mode on any day, you will get a delivery of the next set on the following day. This slow progression might be tedious and you will feel irritated as it can delay your gratification process, but you will be able to unlock everything in just a couple of weeks. And after you start getting access to various things, your anxiety for the next delivery will calm down.
Every time you unlock any new component, Super Mario Maker will educate you regarding new tools and components that you have unlocked through endearing video digital instruction book and a Course bot that automatically adds demo levels. There is also a mode called 10 Mario Challenge that tests you with eight already made levels in 10 lives. Each time you clear a level it gets added to your Course bot collection so that you can remix or replay. And when you go online, Super Mario Maker pops various inspirations at you right and left.
Super Mario Maker has made things quite simple and easy by elimination headier elements like circuit boards, ala Little Big Planet's toggles, and logic programming. This also somewhat limits your options for creations so do not assume that you might be able to whip up a grand like in Mario RPG, but then of course it does not mean that you are restricted to make a straight plat former. The pre-launch of Super Mario Maker for a limited time has come up with a math trivia game and an odd bowling mini-game in just a couple of weeks.
We are pretty sure that such examples scratch the surface of what really Super Mario Maker is all about, because although its educational channels provide you with enough knowledge and inspiration to gear up, they don't tell and teach you everything. You need to discover various interactions and item combinations that are not properly or completely exposed by the game until or unless you drag two items together and watch them how they change. Once you know how these interactions and combinations behave, you can incorporate them into your levels.
Super Mario Maker has a rationalized approach as to how it will let you play the creations and games of others. These levels are categorized into three pools, one showing the featured levels, the other showcasing the levels with most "stars", and then the other showing levels which are "up and coming". And they try to do their best while showcasing the best levels of the community. It also eliminated the tag system, due to which finding levels of a certain collection is a very easy task.
The online functionality works very well and the levels load in a split of a second, which makes it easier to binge, play any creator's catalogue of courses. You can start following any creator and can receive notification whenever they publish any new work, which will appear along with your own notification when someone comments, stars, or plays your created levels.
There is a 100 Mario Challenge mode too available for the creators, which provide 100 lives in order to beat an array of levels that have been picked from the community, and then separated into three difficult level settings. You will not be able to guess what is stored in for you- an auto moving maze which is made out of fireballs, a duel versus three gigantic browsers etc. It is all a big surprise for you, and every time you survive a level and complete it, you will get to unlock a lot of special Nintendo-themes dresses and costumes that can be used as power-ups in different levels.
You will get a chance to play many levels which were created by the still nascent Super Mario Maker's community and many of them are very rough and wild. But you can skip any level. In the beginning, everything was thrown at the player all at once, whatever Super Mario Maker had to offer, but not now.
Every single bit of Super Mario Maker has filled the vacuum and eliminated the loop holes which were there in the previous fames and game makers. It narrates everything a gamer needs to know and about the Mario Stage.
Unlike different documentaries and educational videos, Super Mario Maker actually helps you to create and use your imagination. I had a great time while playing Super Mario Maker, the way it is developed is just remarkable and it is the reason behind the popularity of Super Mario Maker. It not only helps you create but also educate you about the history of this gaming and Super Mario Maker, so it is much more than a game maker.

Just what I wanted, a safe embedded in concrete. You never know what people want to get rid off on craigslist...
I wonder how long they've been trying to get rid of that.
I'd take that all day if you could change the combination...
sounds fun to move
Currently looking for a job in or related to scrap/recycling. Relocation is possible for the right offer.
I don't know how long they've had it sitting around but I think this was the first day they listed it on CL. I check out the freebie section a couple of times a day so I don't think I would have missed this "interesting" one.
Someone had fun even getting it to this point
I wonder how much that thing weighs and what it would take to move it. I can't see anyone removing that for free but you never know.

Texas Instruments Incorporated's (TI) (NYSE: TXN) OPA369 is the industry's lowest power zero-crossover operational amplifier (op amp). The OPA369 features a unique single-input-stage architecture and achieves rail-to-rail performance without input crossover to solve the common design problem of input offset distortion due to the change in common mode voltage that is very prominent in low-voltage, rail-to-rail applications. Combined with 1uA quiescent current, SC70 package and operation down to 1.8V, the OPA369 simplifies high-performance designs in battery-powered, portable products.
The OPA369 offers the precision, low power and small packaging required in a wide variety of applications such as portable medical devices (glucose meters, oxygen metering), portable instrumentation (gas detection/monitoring, handheld test equipment), sensor signal conditioning and portable consumer devices.
The single-input stage architecture delivers outstanding offset voltage of 750uV over the entire rail-to-rail input range and a common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 100dB minimum, thereby maximizing the useable input dynamic range for low supply voltage applications. Other features include low noise of 120nV/rtHz, gain bandwidth of 12kHz on 1uA, low input bias current of 50pA maximum, low voltage offset drift of 1.75uV/C (max), PSRR of 94dB and low 1/f noise of 3.6uVp-p (0.1 to 10Hz).
The dual OPA2369 is available now from TI and its authorized distributors in SOT23-8 and MSOP-8 packages. Suggested resale pricing for the OPA2369 starts at $1.20 in 1,000-piece quantities. The single OPA369 is sampling now, with volume production scheduled for 4Q 2007. The device is available in an SC70-5 package and suggested resale pricing starts at $0.80 in 1,000-piece quantities.

Check what make HDD is on your Dell Inspiron and run the DOS version of the manufacturer's diagnostics.( DELL mostly uses Seagate drives which begin with ST........ In that case it will be SeaTools for DOS)
Having said that, if your DELL lappie is still under warranty (or even otherwise) it would be better to talk to DELL Technical Support and find out what their take on this issue is. If any service is chargeable, then you may think of going on your own.
BTW, I hope that you have made the recovery disks for your system. If not it is time you do it or ask for the free DELL OS media on the plea that your HDD is dead and you need to replace it. (Even out of warranty DELL may supply the disc free. That will be a pure Windows media without any DELL load that will help you do a clean install that will auto activate on installation. Take a chance. ) https://www.dell.com/support/diagnos...diagnostichome

Dell usually has their own diagnostic test which they will believe quicker than most any other test. Boot into the Dell Diagnostics and run that test. Otherwise, Dell will have you do it before they replace the drive. But, I would still run the manufacturer's diagnostic test also.

Manchester United are, as a rule, reluctant spenders in the January transfer window. In the past a signing in the winter window seemed pointless as the class of player desired by the club would have been ineligible for Champions League football for the rest of the campaign. The value in the market also isn't quite the same as it is during the summer, prices inflate to astronomical levels as nobody wishes to lose key players as things move towards the business end. But according to the Manchester Evening News, Jose Mourinho has decided he now wishes to dip his toes into the market and break the norm at Old Trafford. And bolstering his defence is the main aim.
It is believed United were going to revert to type and allow January to pass by with nothing to report on the transfer front. However, plans change in football and three defeats in a row during September has convinced Mourinho to go begging for funds in a bid to sure things up at the back and get his first season at the club back on a positive trajectory. Value is out there somewhere, a hidden gem similar to Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra when they were signed during the same period all those years ago, but where is it to be found?
Bayer Leverkusen are home to two bright young things in Tin Jedvaj and Jonathan Tah. Jedvaj is a Croatian international with four caps to his name at the age of just 20. He started his career in Croatia with Dinamo Zagreb, before moving to Roma in 2013. He impressed in his only season with the Italian side, and this earned him a move to Germany in 2014. He is capable of playing anywhere in the back line, and isn't shy to contribute at the other end of the pitch (he has three goals in his 41 appearances for Leverkusen thus far). He is regarded as a real prospect, and it is only a matter of time before a bigger club swoops for his services. Tah is a Centre Half by trade. A German international and still just 20-years-old, his formidable physique and string of impressive performances at the heart of the Leverkusen defence have helped his stock rise in world football. Another genuine prospect whose tender age leaves plenty of potential in the future.
Aymeric Laporte is a name United fans may well be familiar with. He has been linked with a move to Old Trafford in windows gone by, and the French Centre Half has only gone from strength to strength at his current club Athletico Bilbao. Not yet capped at senior level, the 22-year-old has now vast experience to his name and is approaching the prime of his career. A former team mate of fan favourite Ander Herrera could also work in United's favour should they look his way.
Lastly is Marquinhos of Paris Saint-Germain. Another name linked with a move to United previously, the young Brazilian has been a player on the periphery for some time now. He would be a costly purchase, though his name hasn't been mentioned for a while now, and with the departure of David Luiz in the summer he may be tricky to prize from the grasps of his current employers.
With Antoine Griezmann allegedly top of the list for the summer, Mourinho would be wise to start looking at a boost to his defensive numbers now. All the while keeping in mind that in RoShaun Williams, Axel Tuanzebe and Timothy Fosu-Mensah he is in possession of three dazzling talents at the club already. Whatever happens, the idea of money being spent in January is a novel one and an odd excitement to feel building. All concentration currently though, is on finding form and launching an assault on the top four once again.

In these trying times, it's communities like Ladies Of Leisure that make us feel like shit is going to be OK. The LOL collective is made up of a group of passionate, driven young women who are on a mission to inspire you to get creative and dream big. Aside from creating zines, hosting parties, creating films, and making merchandise to rival Glossier's line-up, LOL also hosts workshops. These intimate classes provide the opportunity to learn from real-life boss ladies in a v. chilled setting. On November 22, the second series of LOL workshops kicks off,. We sat down with LOL co-founder Sally Tabart to chat about what we can expect.
Hi Sally! Can you tell us a bit about how LOL came about?
Hi Annie! I miss having almond croissants and coffees with you at uni <3
A few years ago LOLs creative director Sav had an idea to create a tangible way to showcase the work of up-and-coming creative women. At the time a lot of creative outputs felt very Internet heavy, but she didn't want the work she was doing in her textiles course just to live in folders on her desktop forever, and thought that others would feel the same.
Sav approached me to help her with the editorial direction, and we did a zine-making workshop at IPF (which we were both notably bad at.) We've been building the LOL community together, along with a bunch of other talented ladies ever since!
There's definitely an inclusive, community vibe that Ladies Of Leisure gives off. In times like this, it seems we need that kind of energy more than ever. Can you tell us a bit more about what motivated you to put together these workshops?
That's so nice to hear. So much of how we interact with our community exists within the online realm – but we think it's really important to have opportunities to connect with our people (and for them to connect with each other!) IRL. We were frustrated by the lack of real life skills available to us through our traditional educations, and wanted to provide an accessible platform where our community can come together and learn in a safe, relaxed and non-judgemental environment from some of the people we admire.
It's really important to us that we have a diverse range of perspectives and not only hear about success stories, but failures, processes and the importance of ongoing learning. The topics covered include philosophy, wellbeing, social justice and development of creativity in a real life context - see a full list of our workshops, descriptions and leaders here.
Are the classes just for ladies?
These classes are for anyone who identifies in any way, shape or form as being a lady of leisure - whatever that means!
You've got some amazing speakers for your second series of these workshops. Any highlights that you're particularly excited for?
How good are they? We're so excited. I'm a big fan of moving my body, so I'm pretty stoked for the wonderful Amrita Hepi's human movement class, Feeling Myself. It's designed to get you out of your head and into your body - an anti-dance class of sorts.
One of my good friends and life inspo ladies, Sarah Booth, is running a workshop called Jill of All Trades, which is all about how to pursue multiple, varying projects at once and forge your own career path. She's the absolute best.
There's also a panel on Sunday November 27th called Know Your Writes, which is going to be so helpful for both aspiring and established writers. It covers different facets of professional writing like news writing, editing and creative freelancing.
What do you hope some of the key takeaways will be for the audience members of the workshops? Emotional and otherwise!
My greatest joy is when people develop friendships and the sense of community and skill sharing is strong.
There were some really bloody heart-warming stories of this from last year – like a group of gals who got together after meeting at the LOL Workshops and made a publication of their own! LOLs creative director Sav met a girl called Emma at a networking session and they really hit it off, now they work together as styling partners. That's the kind of stuff that motivates me to do what we do. I hope people come away from the LOL Workshops excited and inspired for their futures, with new tools they can put to action. I want people to know that they are capable of anything.
I'm a bit nervous when it comes to networking and speaking in front of a large group. Will the workshops require me to get my Justin Belfort on? Or can I hang back and just soak it all in?
Yeah, I totally understand that. I'm nervous too! It's funny, people often think I'm really good at talking and 'working the room', but it's a reaction to the social anxiety I experience. I want to be really honest about that kind of stuff, and for our workshops to be a place people can feel comfortable interacting however they want. If this means you're the one asking all the questions – great! But if you just wanna chill and take it all in, that's so fine too. We will have a little couch area with a library of some of our favourite local publications, so that's probably where I would hang if I were feeling a bit uncomfy.
Tell us about the first marketplace you're putting on! What kind of treasures can we expect to find?
The market is going to be a serious treat yourself weekend! We've got some cute clothes from Abbey Rich, Caitlin She and Ken the Label, our friends from MLD, Building Two, Underground Sundae, Two Hills and Nylons will be selling their special treasure jewellery, and the wonderful Ashley Ronning will have some of her prints there as well. It will be happening on the evening of Friday December 2nd and during the days on the 3rd - 4th.
How can I buy tickets?
You can find out more information about all of our workshops and buy tickets via the Workshops tab on the LOL website!

I am having a hard time choosing between these three!
We are going to a show at the Staples Center and would like a restaurant this is walking distance.
I've looked at the menu for all three and, they all seem reasonably priced and well thought out but, what looks good on paper doesn't always pan out.
Please help with a suggestion and what I should order from the one you recommend of the three.

Earlier this week, Citibank rolled out its Citi Bike program in cooperation with the city of New York. The program takes a cue from cities like Berlin and Paris which offer bike share programs of their own. With a daily, weekly or yearly subscription, riders can take a bike from any of the over 300 docking stations, go for a spin, and park it at any other station. Citibank paid over $41 million to be the program's main sponsor.
Because as New York's mogul mayor points out: it's great for business.
It's a story we've been harping at for a while now. Savvy marketers know the best way to reach consumers where they live is to provide value and get local.
In a world where people are increasingly tuning out traditional ads, marketers who provide real value will be the ones on top. Value can come in different forms. Making a consumer laugh or providing a compelling story is the form we're accustomed to in TV and radio ads. But Citibank went big and decided to provide a new kind of value.
Citi Bikes aren't meant for a triathlon. Their key purpose is for getting around, say from the office to your lunch meeting. Of course, riders will be getting around on a bike in the iconic Citibank blue adorned with multiple Citi Bike logos.
Citibank may be a global brand but this is local advertising done right. And it's not just because the bikes are local to New York — although that is certainly true. Citi Bike isn't nationally viable. It's not even viable in the rest of New York State. But creating a giant splashy out-of-home public utility adorned with iconic branding in the middle of the world's media capital? That's smart marketing.
Citi Bike tapped into particular problems facing New Yorkers. The rampant fear of bike theft, the awkward "in-between" distances that are too far to walk but oo close to ride a subway, and the need to simply get around quickly and efficiently.
It doesn't hurt that Citi Bike found a city mayor that is becoming increasingly pro-bike and pro-fitness. It also didn't hurt that with the sponsorship of Citibank and others that the program didn't cost the city a dime.
Of course, not everyone can start a bike share program from scratch. But Citi Bike example reminds us that marketers should still be thinking big. In the face of budget cuts and austerity measures, public-private ventures are increasingly sought after by cities and municipalities. Companies looking for great publicity and great branding can win big by providing real value to consumers on a local scale.

Question: There's some points we have found that 3DMark lacks, for example, OpenGL benchmark, Sound Card features test, special test for mouse and keyboard (this will be great for hard-core FPS fans )
Answer: ID and the OpenGL committee already make a great benchmark for OpenGL, Quake and Viewperf. The others are covered by internal tests at manufacturers.
Question: Why named "Vantage"?
Answer: As a benchmark, we have a unique Vantage point from which to view the competition. Also, I wanted a V to go with Vista.

NVIDIA boss Roy Taylor talks about PC Gaming and says that consoles don't threaten PC gaming.

The console is now a baseline. If you look at Gears of War or Assassin's Creed, they came out on console and they were great experiences – but the PC versions had additional aspects to them that also made them attractive, whether you owned the console version or not. The PC version was better. That's something that people need to get their heads around – the console is a baseline, the PC is going to be an improved version. That's an exciting future, and that's why I don't see anything threatening about console at all.
The Godfather of deathmatch talks about Quake Live and why Crysis isn't the future of PC Gaming.
Read the interview Carmack frees Quake.
Historically, id Software has been a PC gaming company, with consoles a secondary business that happened later. And even though the PC doesn't get the focus that it used to, in many ways our hearts are still there, and we'd like to do things where the PC is the appropriate platform.
But in terms of first-person shooters, if you look at something like Crysis and say that's the height of what the PC market can manage, I don't think that's necessarily that exciting of a direction for the PC to be going in the future. With Quake Live, we hope that there's an opportunity for people who've never played shooters to give this a try, and with that, the potential of actually growing the PC gaming market.
Here is an interview with David Makin, Palit Multimedia's Consumer Marketing Manager. The idea was to get a better idea of Palit, the hitherto little known manufacturer of graphics cards.
They may not be as well-known as ASUS or Gigabyte but they are certainly more than just another manufacturer of reference-design graphics cards. We also wanted to know what they are doing to put their products ahead of their competitors and of course, their plans for the future.

Palit Multimedia's homepage: www.palit.biz
Palit has been building graphics cards since 1988. Palit is well-known in China and somewhat in the EU (European Union) but didn't start selling cards in the Americas until the end of last year.
Palit makes every attempt to build cards to our own design rather than simply turning out cookie cutter clones of the GPU manufacturer-provided reference design. This makes a really big difference to end users because we do things better than the reference design.
Is the GeForce 9800 GX2 the fastest single card on the planet? Sure. Are there people out there that are interested in that and do we want to support them? Of course. But there are VERY few of these cards being purchased right now (in our opinion) so we prefer to focus on products that people actually want to buy. Part of that reasoning is just business but it goes beyond that too.
Who is S3? Joking! I don't think they have a viable mainstream part just yet and are still playing in the embedded side of the house. If you're an ODM or smaller motherboard partner I think it would be easier to work with them instead of the larger guys since neither AMD nor NVIDIA will have time to dedicate engineering resources to support you.

Guwahati, Nov. 10: The Northeast film industry today decided to continue screening Hindi films despite a militant-imposed ban, but clarified that it was guided by the instinct to survive rather than determination to defy the diktat.
Representatives of all wings of the industry met at the Jyoti Chitraban studio here at the initiative of the Eastern India Motion Pictures Association (EIMPA) and appealed to the militant leadership to review and lift the ban in the larger interest of regional films.
The ban on Hindi films was announced jointly by nine militant groups a few months ago and repeated by the Ulfa recently. It is to take effect on November 15.
A steering committee comprising 15 representatives of all sections of the industry was formed at the meeting. Actor Pranjal Saikia is the convener of the panel, which will henceforth take all decisions on the subject.
Film producers, distributors, exhibitors, senior artistes representing the Chalachitra Shilpi Unnayan Sanstha, technicians, cinema hall owners and members of the Cinema Hall Employees Association participated in the deliberations.
We are appealing to the extremist organisations to review their decision. The ban must be lifted if the regional film industry has to survive. Hindi films will continue to be screened until the time the outfits realise the foolhardiness of the ban and lift it, states a resolution adopted at the meeting.
Justifying the decision to continue screening Hindi films, it says: If Hindi films are not screened in the theatres, they will have to shut shop. This, in turn, will sound the death knell for the regional film industry, which even now is struggling for survival.
The steering committee is planning a hungerstrike on November 13 in the Dighalipukhuri area of the city to protest the ban. Our main objective is to ensure that regional cinema does not suffer. Since a limited number of regional films alone cannot keep the theatres going, hall owners will be forced to convert these into supermarkets. Where will we screen regional movies then' Saikia asked.
The veteran actor said the closure of cinema halls would render a large section of indigenous uneducated people unemployed.
The EIMPA was the first to make an appeal to the militant leadership to reconsider the decision to ban Hindi films. It said the livelihood of about 50,000 families was at stake, but the appeal did not evoke a positive response. A similar request by the Sadou Asom Bolsobi Karmi Santha, which is the apex organisation of cinema hall workers, fell on deaf ears.
Saikia said the EIMPA had resolved not to screen any obscene film. This should satisfy the militant groups. The meeting reiterated an earlier decision taken by the EIMPA not to screen obscene or vulgar Hindi movies in halls across the Northeast. Regional filmmakers have already been asked to faithfully portray our culture, he said.
The meeting made a case for setting up a common platform for the Northeast film fraternity and urged the Assam government to implement its film policy.

Judge sets dates for Holmes mental records
DENVER (AP) – The judge in the Colorado theater shootings says a mental hospital and a university must turn over their mental health records on defendant James Holmes on Sept. 30.
The judge on Friday granted a prosecution request to set that date for submitting the records.
Prosecutors are entitled to the records because Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
Holmes is accused of killing 12 and injuring 70 last July. He faces charges of murder and attempted murder.
The records are from the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo and the University of Colorado, Denver.
Holmes was a graduate student at the university and saw a psychiatrist there before the shootings. He was ordered to undergo a sanity evaluation at the mental health institute after pleading insanity.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE; check back soon for more information. Below is a recent related story
DENVER (AP) – Prosecutors in the Colorado theater shooting case said Thursday they want the mental health records of defendant James Holmes from the state hospital and from a university where Holmes was a graduate student.
In a court filing, prosecutors said they plan to submit subpoenas for the records and asked the judge to set Sept. 30 – the next hearing date in the case – as the day the records must be turned over.
Prosecutors said they are entitled to the records because Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to multiple counts of murder and attempted murder.
Under state law, defendants who plead insanity must provide medical and mental health records to prosecutors.
Holmes is accused of fatally shooting 12 people and injuring 70 in a suburban Denver movie theater in July 2012. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
Before the shooting, Holmes saw a psychiatrist at the University of Colorado, Denver, where he was a graduate student in neuroscience. Prosecutors want the records of that treatment.
After he entered the insanity plea, Holmes was ordered to undergo a mandatory sanity evaluation by the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo. A report on the evaluation is due to the court by Sept. 16, and the subpoena appears to be a way to set a date for the report to be turned over to prosecutors.
The filing did not say whether prosecutors will also ask to see a notebook that Holmes sent the university psychiatrist before the shooting.
Fox News reporter Jana Winter cited unidentified law enforcement officers as saying the notebook contained violent drawings. That story embroiled Winter in a battle with Holmes' lawyers over the identities of her sources.
Defense lawyers say the officials who spoke to Winter violated a gag order and should be punished. The defense also says officers may have lied when they denied being Winter's sources, undermining their credibility as trial witnesses.
Defense lawyers haven't been able to learn the identities of the officials, so they want the judge to order Winter to disclose them.
The judge hasn't said whether he would do so.
Winter could face jail time if she refuses an order to reveal the names. She has said she won't disclose them.
Winter has asked to delay her appearance at the Sept. 30 hearing until after an appeals court in her home state of New York rules on her request to reject a Colorado subpoena seeking the names.
Colorado needs the approval of New York courts to enforce the subpoena.
Prosecutors and the defense objected to the delay Thursday. Prosecutors said delaying the hearing could ultimately postpone the trial, now scheduled to begin in February.
Also Thursday, prosecutors said more than 100 FBI personnel worked on the investigation of the shooting, including some from an FBI office in another country, which was not identified.
Denver FBI spokesman Dave Joly confirmed the numbers but said he could not discuss the involvement of an international office because of the gag order.
The revelation came in a prosecution motion asking the judge to deny a defense request for sanctions against prosecutors for delays in turning over FBI reports.
Prosecutors said the FBI took time to ensure the reports were complete and the defense got the reports ahead of deadlines set by law.

Central bank bashing: The case of the European Central Bank
Central banks do not operate in a vacuum. In this paper we analyse the fac-tors leading to external pressure or public support for European monetary policy. Moreover, based upon the findings for the Deutsche Bundesbank, some additional les-sons are drawn for the ECB. External pressure on the ECB mainly stems from politi-cians or from international organisations (such as the IMF). In contrast with evidence for the Bundesbank, interest groups (such as commercial banks) hardly try to influ-ence European monetary policy. German data show that factors leading to external pressure on the central bank are rising unemployment and the threat for governments to lose their majority in the next election. This latter source of pressure is, however, likely to be of minor importance for the ECB.
