Budget Accommodation Asia Thailand Koh Phangan
Ko Pha Ngan (also spelt Koh Phangan) was originally one of the primary backpacker islands in all of Thailand and famous for its monthly Full Moon Party. This place has everything many budget travellers want; cheap booze, cheap western food, cheap lodging and lots of crazy all night parties.

So how are those New Year's Resolutions coming along? Getting lean? Eating clean? Reducing, reusing and recycling? Managing the stress caused by not keeping your New Year's Resolutions?
If only it were as easy to keep them as it is to make them. Although I have been known to say "I don't make New Year's Resolutions," there are actually some lurking around the depths of my psyche collecting cobwebs. Most of them I do not care to share, in order to preserve my sanitized image, but there is one resolution I would love to tackle: I want to be a morning person.
I have come to accept that some people are early birds and some people are night owls. I'm a night owl who wants to get in touch with my inner early bird. Morning people seem to have more patience, are less stressed out, and are more productive. They seem more cheerful too. Maybe it's because they absorb all of the available sunlight. Try as I might, I can't seem to make it out of the dark side. I have no excuse as to why I can't because I know how to set attainable goals. I do it with my students all the time with great success.
Right after my students go back to school after winter break and before mid-term exams, we work on goal setting. This year I had them make "Goal Posts." This consisted of setting three academic goals, one extracurricular goal, and one personal goal. Once the goals were in place, we hunted through my enormous mountain of old magazines for visual representations of their goals. On a poster board, the students glued their pictures and wrote out their goals and hung them in their bedrooms. Now they have a fun, daily visual reminder to keep them on track.
After the Goal Posts are made, students pick one goal to work on. Take the ever popular, "write in planner everyday" for instance. A student who never writes in her planner is going to suddenly produce a detailed account of all her assignments on a daily basis. That's where SMART goals come into play. A SMART goal is kind of a template for successful goal setting.
S-specific - answer who, what when, where, and why; break into smaller steps
M-measurable - establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the goal
A-attainable - plan your steps and establish a reasonable time frame
R-realistic - a goal must represent something you are both willing and able to do
T-timely or time bound - set within a time frame to create a sense of urgency
To use my early-bird goal as an example, instead of setting my goal as "getting up earlier," which I know won't work, I would try this:
Goal: Be out of bed by 6:45 every weekday. I will work toward this goal by getting up 15 minutes earlier each week for six weeks. Each time I add 15 minutes, I will also go to bed 15 minutes earlier in order to get enough rest.
For the student who wants to write in her planner:
Goal: Write all homework in planner every day by spring break. First, begin with a more attainable goal of writing in planner 3x a week for two weeks, then increasing to 4x a week, etc. Create a memory cue or reminder to write in planner, such as setting the phone alarm (on vibrate) when there are 5 minutes left of class.
Do you have any resolutions you want to be SMART about? Give this technique a try and let me know how it goes.

PolkFest - we're working on it.
September will be here in a blink and we are working on plans for PolkFest. Over the next few weeks, I'll be passing along the agenda and additional details. As we will be celebrating our 40th anniversary, I can promise this Polkfest will be special.
The festivities will start at our Baltimore headquarters at 10 am on Friday, September 21st where there will be tours, demos, peaks behind the curtain, etc. You can get as geek as you want. And as a special bonus, you will have the opportunity to abuse Patrick in person. If you have the stomach for more, the party gets serious on Saturday at a yet to be named location.
If you're looking for places to stay, Toni has put a hold on a block of 25 rooms at the Hilton Pikesville. Dates held are 9/20, 9/21, 9/22 and 9/23. The rate is $120.00. You can call and book yourself. Mention "Polk Audio/Polk Fest" and ask to book under the room block for September. Rooms will be held until Sept 6th.

'Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
I'm planning on this, got the week off and will just have to book the room and flight.
Can't wait to see everyone that I haven't been able to meet in person yet.
I like when I tell people I'm going to Polkfest...they are like Polk? and then they stop asking questions...
anyone in the WI area want to fly with me? I was prob going to fly out of Milwaukee or Chicago depending on what will be a better rate.

Well last week brought forth an issue that will probably prevent me from attending PF... I shouldn't have hopped on the band wagon so soon.
Needless to say I'm frustrated but it's out of my control.
"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass

That's a really bad weekend for me - but, I really want to go. I expect to be there.
for those people who have never been to a PolkFest.. do not miss it. you will kick yourself in the arse once you see and hear how much fun you missed out on. Sept is way far away still.. so plan accordingly. Unless you're attending a funeral (your own) you don't want to miss PF12

After four straight NCAA Tournament seasons with at least 22 wins each year, 2012-13's 18-16 (9-9 in the ACC) was somewhat disappointing. Florida State isn't your traditional basketball powerhouse like conference rivals Duke and North Carolina but fans had become accustomed to better play, much thanks to Coach Leonard Hamilton. But last year's squad struggled on the boards and weren't impressive offensively. They were last in the conference in rebounding. Their leader in rebounding, Okaro White, only had 5.9 per game. And they lose leading scorer Michael Snaer (14.8 PPG) and productive forward Terrance Shannon (7.9 PPG, 5.6 RPG). Four-star recruits arrive in guard Xavier Rathan-Myers and power forward Jarquez Smith but other than that this season may be even tougher than the last one.
The Florida State Seminoles operate under Coach Leonard Hamilton at the Donald Tucker Center in Tallahassee. They've made the Final Four once, in 1972, when they lost in the National Championship Game. They did make the Sweet Sixteen for the fourth time in 2011, however, as part of their recent run of success that saw four straight NCAA Tournament bids between 2009 and 2012. Overall they have 14 Tournament appearances. 30 FSU players have gone to the NBA including Toney Douglas, Bernard James, Al Thornton, Von Wafer, Sam Cassell, and George McCloud. Florida State looks to continue to produce NBA-quality talent, so don't miss out on the 2013-14 season!

Evasi0n jailbreak tool updated to version 1.2, contains bug fixes and disables OTA updates
The evasi0n jailbreak tool has now been updated twice since its initial release on Wednesday. The latest version which sees it hit the 1.2 release mark contains some reasonably important enhancements. If you have been holding off jailbreaking and decide to do it today or in the near future, make sure you get the latest version.
Since release, the evad3rs team have fixed various issues with the jailbreak some of which include long reboot issues, timezone problems and the strangest one of all, the weather app appearing on iPads. A lot of people had been experiencing that last issue when jailbreaking your iPad all of a sudden the Apple stock weather app appears on your home screen.
Another important feature of the latest 1.2 release is the option of disabling OTA (Over The Air) software updates. This will prevent you from accidentally updating your iOS software when a new version gets released which would subsequently lose your jailbreak.
If you have already jailbroken your iOS 6.0 or 6.1 device with earlier versions of the Evasi0n jailbreak, there's really no need to do it again. Each of these updates are available through Cydia as an update on your device. The Evasi0n jailbreak has certainly proved popular; we heard a few days ago that Cydia had received visits from over 7 million devices since the evasi0n jailbreak release.

Wow these guys are on there game. Thank you very much :)
If you think Virginia`s story is unbelievable,, a month back my brother's best friend basically also easily made $4803 grafting a sixteen hour week from their apartment and they're classmate's step-aunt`s neighbour done this for 4 months and errned more than $4803 in their spare time at their pc. apply the information from this website... www.Fab17.com
(click on home for details)
No offense intended, and maybe I'm wrong, but didn't this update come out like two or three days ago?
They are on top of things. So thankful for the JB, i did my part and donated to them!
Just to make sure before I take the plunge, is this an untethered jailbreak? And how long will the process take? I just recently got my iPhone 5 and I wanna make the most of it.
And is it safe?
I Jailbroke last night, and so far I have liked the apps I've gotten. Come on Apple give us the goods and greats in iOS 7. Really don't want phone to be JBn, but how could you not have these features? All is well here. (Knock on wood). V1.2.
Well ever since I got the iPhone 5 the need to JB is no longer present. Tools that I had on my 4S enabled facetime over 3G and attachments from email. All these I got now with iOS 6.1 on my iphone 5. So I'm good. Too many JB tweaks cause system instability.
Initial release was Monday the 4th
i did the jailbreak this past week! didn't see much about it that i could do via another app or in the current iOS version! so i restored it back to the way it was no problems! if i wanted to customize my phone like that i would have got android! i like iPhone the way apple has it nd if they change it in the future with ios7 then i will love it just as much!
Perhaps you haven't looked around and enough. Here is a short list of things I personally like. None of the things these apps do can be done via the base OS or via App Store apps.
MapsOpener (Open map links in Google Maps rather than the default Maps app)
NCSettings (Toggles in the notifications center)
NES (NES emulator)
Nitrous (Enable the Nirto Java Script engine in all apps. Makes Chrome perform as fast as Safari)
NowNow (Lets you hold the sleep button for a second to pop up Google Voice Search. So Home for Siri and Sleep for Google)
Open in Chrome (causes web links to open in Chrome rather than Safari)
SpringFlash (Flashlight by hitting Vol+/- at the same time. Even when the phone is locked)
SwipeSelection (Lets you slide your finger across the keyboard to move the cursor)
TetherMe (Enable Hotspot regardless of carrier)
XBMC (I could go on and on about all the stuff you can do with XBMC but basically it is a media player that will literally play anything)
Zephyr (Gestures for closing app, pulling up the app switcher and changing tasks)
These are just a few but there are many more. And no it doesn't make your phone unstable. Sure some apps will. But not the quality apps.
Anyone know how to jailbreak and circumvent MobileIron's check?

Economic growth and business opportunities and challenges faced in Africa and globally will be the central theme of ACCA's (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) Council meeting, to be held in Nairobi this month.
ACCA's 36 member strong Council is basing its biennial meeting in Nairobi, before ACCA's President, Vice President and Deputy President make additional visits with ACCA senior staff, including its chief executive Helen Brand, to Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda.
Helen Brand, ACCA's chief executive, says: 'I am delighted that this year's Council meeting is taking place in Africa. As our governing body, Council is elected and consists of voluntary members who possess a global outlook that can only benefit further by meeting together in Kenya. I am sure we will learn a great deal during this visit.'
Jamil Ampomah, ACCA director of sub-Saharan Africa says: 'Our Council has a wide ranging remit, geared to providing strategic direction for ACCA. Council members examine issues of broad and long-term importance to ACCA, and establish ACCA's position on global industry developments as they arise. So this is why it is important Council members from all over the world come to Africa and understand the issues their Council colleagues face here in this continent.
'The aim of this meeting is to see how ACCA members are contributing to the national economy and their national profession, to connect with partners, the profession and policy makers, and to show how ACCA's work is bringing value to employment markets. This is an important part of Council's ongoing work, and senior members along with ACCA staff will be visiting Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda and Tanzania.'
Dean Westcott, ACCA's President and a member of Council, says: 'ACCA's Council wants to have a better understanding of the rapid and exciting economic and business developments happening in this continent and to see at first-hand how professional accountants working here create public value, how they support sustainable economic growth and, importantly, what ACCA can do to support them.
'I know that I and my fellow members will gain a lot from this meeting.'
ACCA conducts a series of regular meetings by its Council, and previous meetings have been held in Central and Eastern Europe and also South East Asia.
For this Council visit, ACCA will be hosting a series of events including:
- In Ethiopia, an employer roundtable: 'The role of finance professionals in an emerging economy'.
- New member ceremonies – welcoming new members to ACCA, students who have successfully passed their exams.
- In Tanzania, an event to launch a report on capital markets.
- In Uganda, an event to discuss the issues relating to effective financial management and transparency.
Dean Westcott concludes: 'We are a global body which believes in innovation, which is one of its core values. So it is important these meetings help to breed new ideas. It's going to be a very interesting Council session and I am sure it will prove fruitful to future business for ACCA.'

It all starts here, with a man of determination and cunning, ambition and drive.
John Pierson Minor was born in 1791 in Middlesex, New Jersey, the eldest child of Abia and Margaret Pierson (Pearson) Minor. The couple moved their family to the wilds of Greene County, Pennsylvania in 1796, and there John Pierson grew up and prospered.
A veteran of the War of 1812 he began his family in 1816 with Hannah McClelland. They had two boys, Abia and Robert, before she died. John P. then married Isabella McClelland and together they had Hannah, Mary Ann, Margaret, Rebecca, Samuel Pierson, Francis Marion, Isabelle, Sarah Ellen, and Frances Caroline. John P. Minor was a cattle drover, a farmer, a dry goods store entrepenuer, and in his later years a cattle dealer. Recognizing the land as the asset of his century, John P. purchased hundreds of acres around his home farm in Greene County, Pennsylvania, in addition to hundreds of acres in Iowa, Missouri and Illinois. Much of this land was passed on to his offspring; the rest was sold as seemed prudent. John P. was a Democrat throughout the Civil War, supporting the reunion of the country but opposing the abolition of slavery. He lived out his later years in the home of his middle son, Francis Marion and Mary Jane Gwynn Minor with their children, John Pierson, Olfred, Sarah Priscilla and baby Robert (b. 1869). He died at home in 1874.
This portrait of my great-great-great-grandfather was taken near the end of his life by Greene County photographer, Thomas W. Rogers of Public Square, Carmichaels, Pennsylvania.

Loved seeing Hallejuah live. So much better than watching on TV.
http://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/police-...otel-1.1122096 i dont know why they added tessa and scott's picture to this article
I don't know, but that picture is dreamy.
I'll be on the lookout for a cut cheek when I watch the gala on TSN next week
It is odd that they showed Scott and Tessa and seeing how they were the only discipline that hadn't finished competition, I doubt any ice dancers were involved.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/2429168...in/photostream just going through some photos from today FD! It was honestly AMAZING to see live.
Maybe Nam Nguyen beat up one of those pairs men. You can never be too sure about those little guys. They can be feisty.
Home after an exciting day. Now re-living it via TV recordings.
Lost my internet connection at the rink just before the competition began. I am beginning to think they may shut down the service to avoid risk of people secretly streaming the event, or because it may interfere with the wireless TV cameras and/or other wireless services (like the SSID wireless I once saw called "judges upload"). Hmmmm, does anyone need a few scores changed?
The Choreo lift was better than what I saw at practices. There, I could not clearly see Tessa's legs around Scott (they were at the opposite end of the rink, with Scott's back to me, and other skaters moving across my view). I wasn't sure how the lift would fit into the story, but now it makes more sense.
as much as i miss the old choreo lift, the new one is hot http://25.media.tumblr.com/4e07238b9...6wwzo1_500.jpg
I love how Tessa and Scott set up Carmen. She's very feral.
I won't deny preferring the previous choreo-lift - very much in tune with the FD's portrait of power dynamics - but this one obviously flows better. Would've been fascinating to see this one on the backhalf of the opening curve lift, though.
The twizzles just happen with so little preparation it's rather astonishing.
Has Scott always covered his face with the final pose? Because it's one of those remarkable details (as if he can't believe Carmen has brought him so low and is ashamed) that just make this dance (like Scott holding his heart during the circ steps sequence). Also everything else going on, but seriously, this choreography is so layered and nuanced.
Thanks for the pics Dani and the review rvi5. I'm glad you guys got to see this live, wish I was so lucky. Anyways I seriously can't wait for 4CC to witness the continuous evolution of this masterpiece. And rainbow that picture…it looks like she's straddling him lol.
Finally watched the FD. Holy smokes they were hot hot hot hot hot! Love the new choreo lift, it really continues the excitement and climax of their previous lift right to the end pose which was what lacked a little during their previous outings. The whole dance's flow was really well and streamlined, and have I mentioned that it's hot hot hot hot hot!!!?
Carmen is such a departure from their previous programs I am not sure how their Olympic FD is going to top it O_O...
Thank you all for reviews and videos! I am happy you enjoy this FD "live" and could see best skating during this season.
They gave even more sex now. And i think now all elements work with with music really well.
Still need to compare spin from GPF and Nationals.
In protoclos from all events from this season it was - Sp (because they didnt change there foots). So for this spin ints 2 rotations in the same positions is enough. But in protoclos from Nationals its CoSp (its when couple change there feet during spin) so in CoSp they need to do full 3 rotations in every position. So what is truth? Did they change spin after GPF? I didnt see this.

Welcome to the Institute for Latino Studies
Did you know that in the US today:
- 1 in 6 residents is Latino
- 1 in 5 school children is Latino
- 1 in 4 babies is Latino
- 1 in 3 Catholics is Latino
- 1 in 2 Catholics under 30 is Latino
Latinos are at once the oldest and the newest immigrant population in our country. They are expected to account for over 25% of the US population by 2050, and even now, as the numbers above demonstrate, they represent one of the most significant factors for social change in our nation. What is the significance of the growth of this population? What does the future hold for the nation as a whole? The Institute for Latino Studies at the University of Notre Dame is committed to finding answers that will best prepare the nation to meet the future.

It will be a very sad day in US figure skating when Davis & White hang it up and retire. No only are they the greatest Ice Dancers in US history but they have been great role models and leaders.
It will be a very sad day in US figure skating when Davis & White hang it up and retire. No only are they the greatest Ice Dancers in US history but they have been great role models and leaders.
Absolutely true. I'm already missing them, just thinking about it.
IMO the notion that every move in ice dance needs to be original every year is really outdated, anyway, and the folks criticizing either team for keeping a successful move need to go back and study the not-really-new-anymore rulebook.After all, V&M have been repeating the same pair spin for years more than Meryl & Charlie have been repeating either lifts or for that matter twizzles.But is it really worthwhile to spend that much time on it, since fans whose fandom depends on denigrating their nonfavorites can always make up a reason that the unloved team is lower than whale shite on the bottom of the ocean.
The adoption of the current judging system was a real watershed moment for dance, and IMO the introduction of required elements should have made obsolete the notion that every step in a dance needed to be original every year. Do folks criticize pairs for doing the same jumps and spins from year to year or some of the same overhead lifts? Surely no one complains when a singles skater uses the same 3-3 combination or same fw into triple jump in both the SP and FS or in multiple years. So why should it be any different for ice dancers? I can see that sometimes a particular lift may look quite ballroom and not work so well in a salsa program or look tango-y and not work in a quick step program, but a lot of lifts would work just fine with different music. The same is true of spins and twizzles. As long as V/M's spin or D/W's lift looks right with the music, then what is wrong with using a good move again?
Yes, one of the Program Components includes originality, but it is also there for pairs and singles. So really, according to the scoring system, originality is today no more valued in dance than any other discipline and is not valued much in any of them (as only one consideration among 8 or 9 in the Composition/Choreography mark). Besides, elements apart, there is still plenty of choreo left to be creative in.

All true, and a good comment.
Besides, if you can't repeat something, how can you have a "signature move". I certainly would have hated to only see Arakawa's stunning Ina Bauer or Michelle Kwain's wonderful Change of Edge Spiral for one season only.
Sometimes I want seconds.
If you haven't caught on already, it is the same handful of people repeating endlessly that D/W are repeating every thing. Just because they show up on Facebook, twitter, forums, blogs, Youtube etc. in different guises doesn't mean there are more of them. We know how much some people love to post just on FSU alone.
You know when it is getting this bad and they have to write the same crap everywhere to make themselves feel better, it is definitely a good sign.
Marina has taken the secrecy to another level this season. I'm just afraid that this season is going to pick up some crazy speed once it gets going and be over before we know it. I just want to enjoy it to the fullest.
Sorry I just had a white chocolate macademia nut cheesecake after working/going to school for 10 hours and I'm just a *touch* hyper
I am kinda surprised about the secrecy with regards to the music. I can understand the technical things like lifts, spins, etc being secretive..but the music? There aren't levels for music choices.
On another note, I would like to create a music video with Davis/White clips set to Daft Punk's Lose Yourself to Dance. Some of you have done videos before..what software would you recommend?
Great comments on here, guys! I absolutely hate that tired (and untrue) criticism from non-fans of DW that they have done the same program for years. As you said, mollymgr, we should just consider the source and keep moving on. I just have to wonder if they really aren't watching the programs...when I think of the many great moves they have done from the swoop lift and back camel spin in 2009, the flip over and stand on Charlie's bent leg going backwards, the helicopter lift and the jump spin (from Notre Dame), that beautiful facing spiral, just to mention a few. Add in their amazing speed and flow and unison and most of all the fact that their work ethic has reached legendary status, imo, and well, it's easy for me to see why they have fans who adore them. Its also easy for me to see why VM ubers are so critical of DW, just look at the rivalry record and you'll know that not only do they feel threatened but its going to be quite a fight for the gold whether they want to admit it or not. Its going to be an amazing Olympic event.
I'm worried, too, mollymgr, that the season is going to go by too quickly. The last Olympics don't seem that long ago to me but then again its amazing how much Meryl and Charlie have improved since then and I can't wait to see what they have for us this season. I just hope they have a great time this season!
You guys have all said it so well. I'm not such a Davis and White uber that I can't appreciate Tessa's edges. V/M are wonderfully smooth, it's why Mahler came off so beautifully instead of falling flat (at least in my opinion). So I don't understand why people have such a hard time admitting that D/W have the smoothest most difficult spins I have ever seen...in ice dance or in pairs. Every year they make the twizzles more difficult. It's not just the jumps, but the holds and twists right before they enter them. No other team can manage it. They've cleaned up their edges, so they're not only fast, but they're clean. Meryl has freaking surgical precision, which allows them to respond to every note in the music they're skating to. We always hear about V/M musicality, but D/W have amazing musicality as well. I've never seen V/M do a waltz like they have. V/M have a heavier, jazzier feel to their steps and it's not bad. It's all good. It's variation. I guess we can type till their blue in the face and it won't change anyone's mind though.
USFS posted pictures from past Champs Camps.
I can't find Charlie in '07.
What if a team claimed to be the first, they got points for it, and then it's discovered later that they weren't the first but some other lesser team had done it in a B competition? Then a team could have their placements adjusted post-competition if the move was believed to be original but wasn't really. Picture it - V/M's 2014 gold medal could be revoked in 2200 when someone finds an attic photo of Karl Schafer and Sonia Henie goofing off in practice, performing a move that was currently believed to be a V/M original. The originality that was the sole determining factor in vaulting V/M over D/W for the 2014 gold medal would then be in question and D/W would posthumously become Olympic champions.
And when is the cut-off? Each season? Each career? How would the move's originality be proven? Would a youtube link of the team performing the move in practice have to be submitted along with the Planned Program Content sheet? Then the youtube link would have to be taken by an ISU Research Assistant, and painstakingly compared to every move in the Library of Skating Moves, with Dartfish, to make sure it has never been done before. The deadline for competitions would have to be doubly extended.
It would be really interesting to expect teams to constantly be inventing moves for them to get enough points to win competitions. The skaters would have to have their own Mosely/Dorsey skating rinks, or practice in the middle of the night. Skating during normal freestyle sessions would become a thing of the past. If points were awarded for inventing moves, skaters would not only need to practice with bluetooth headsets but bluetooth googles so nobody could see what lift they are working on, lest they become the second one to do it and not get points for it. Careers would be on the line. The secrecy would be ruthless.
Even in freeskating, extra points aren't awarded for original moves, like Courtney Hicks' amazing spin, it just gets the normal number of features and some oohs and ahhs from the audience. Is Courtney Hicks the greatest skater of all time because she came up with something new? Why not? She should be getting 50 extra points per performance! Not every skater can do that spin. Should she be the Olympic champion?
People usually invent moves so that it will be named after them or they will be the first in the history books, not because they expect the move alone to leapfrog them over every other requirement and have it be rewarded a disproportionate number of points. Everyone can appreciate a new lift or spin from any dance team, not just V/M. But realistically and accurately, where and how would that be marked in the scores?
(Ok, now V/M fans on a shall-remain-unnamed forum (not FSU), you may now commence parsing and paraphrasing my above post within 10 minutes of it being posted. It's rather hilarious to watch this happen. And.... Go!)
NBC Sports has to be the most boneheaded organization ever. Well, they did recognize that Meryl and Charlie were US athletes to watch in Sochi, but they have their names as Charlie Davis! & Meryl White NK
This article has an absolutely amazing number of factual errors. You'd think it was something written for the Onion as a spoof of really bad sports reporting.
But, "they train in the same gym in Michigan as their rivals."
The quality of writing (in addition to the poor grasp of facts) is just atrocious.
OMG, this blooper by NBC sports once again proves the point that Meryl and Charlie are the "Rodney Dangerfields" of skating.
That blooper is hysterical. Really dumb but hysterical. I'm sure Meryl and Charlie would get a kick out of it.

text: I agree Mirai has to completely strip her technique done if she is to conquer her problem with URs. She cant afford a single mistake in most of her competitions next year, especialy Nationals, if she has Sochi aspirations. That is risky to try and do in just one year though. I dont envy her, she is in a tough spot.

So with wires 12 gauge wires are thicker than 18 gauge. Smaller gauge =thicker wire
Ohms are the measure of electrical resistance in a circuit.
So which speakers have more electrical resistance, 4 ohms or 8 ohms?
Is it the "opposite" like how wire gauges are measured?
I'd like someone with an engineering background to explain this?
And if 4 ohm speakers have less electrical resistance why do they make amps work harder/run hotter?
Please answer if you're only 100% certain of the science. I am wanting to better learn these basic concepts.

Is a stone that makes you forever lucky a blessing? Or a curse?
Adventure aboard Captain Deudermont's Sea Sprite and follow the trail of the demon who is intent on destroying the luckstone inherited by one unlucky orphan. Featuring the sage wisdom of R.A. Salvatore's best-selling character Drizzt Do'Urden, the Stone of Tymora is packed with action, magic, intrigue, and a heart-stopping twist that Salvatore fans won't want to miss.

Praise for The Stone of Tymora:
"This fast-paced fantasy . . . is a perfect pick for . . . readers seeking powerful characterization and complex, fast-changing stories."—Midwest Book Review
"[T]he lucidly described action and swift pace will keep the pages turning and anticipation of further adventures simmering." —Booklist
"The pace never falters, [and] the cast is positively festooned with pirates and menacing magical creatures (such characters from parallel stories as Drizzt Do'Urden the Dark Elf also put in appearances)." —Kirkus

Where is Oregon, anyway?
Not familiar with U.S. geography? Oregon is on the West Coast, right between Washington and California. Some people think it's the best thing about the West Coast, and of course they're right.
Made up of seven diverse regions, Oregon has the ocean, mountains, valleys, high desert, cities, small towns, and almost everything in between.
Have a question? Ask Oregon
We want to go wine tasting in the North Willamette Valley. Where should we stay and where should we eat?
The towns I love for wine tasting are Newberg, McMinnville and Dundee. All three are driving distance of each other in Yamhill County. In Newberg there are lots of great B&B's and vacation rentals.

ITA, but Brennan's comments apparently go beyond sentimental giddiness over Kween's coming of age, and veer toward a lack of understanding of the cyclical nature of the sport and the vast transitional changes the sport is undergoing. The sports media has always only paid surface, sound-bite lip service to their coverage of figure skating. They don't seem to understand what it takes to be a contender, much less a consistent champion in figure skating these days. Nor, have they probably ever truly understood. They are apparently even blind to some of the harder lessons that Kwan's journey in the sport provided. Not unlike the reported attitudes of some coaches, the media apparently expect U.S. ladies champions to perform like "automatons" and always be in the medals, preferably gold.
It never fails to fascinate re how much Michelle Kwan's reign at the top of the sport spoiled everyone, especially those who hardly appreciated her at the time and were always looking for someone else to beat her. And those who claim they found Kwan "boring" likely still don't understand the significance and complicated relevance of her impact on the sport. In any case, I don't completely agree with the cries of "chaos" in U.S. ladies' figure skating.
It does seem like Kwan's wedding has left some in the press and perhaps among TBTB pining once again for the ready-made drama and storylines that MK always provided. It seems that while Ashley Wagner was winning gold medals at two GP events, perhaps Phil, Christine, and others were holding their breath thinking that, "Our new U.S. ladies star is on track for gold in Sochi." Then when Ashley had a slight mishap in her fp at the Grand Prix Final, but still managed to win silver, seemingly it wasn't enough for the journalists and bigwigs waiting with bated breath. Will nothing but gold suffice?
And too, perhaps some fs observers in the media have become worried that Yu Na's stellar athleticism in her dutiful comeback, not to mention the somewhat over-hyped but solid potential seen in the phoenix-like rise of a different North American skater possibly threatens the prospects of their hoped for "U.S. golden girl in Sochi" headlines. They also seem to be relegating Gracie Gold (at least at this point) to the "afterthought" bin. They are missing all the unheralded stories, as well as the underlying back story and ongoing journey of the "Almost Girl," turned "Nike Girl."
Go Ashley, Go Mirai, Don't Give Up Caroline, Go Ross, Go Jeremy, Go Marissa and Simon! Go all U.S. figure skating athletes! Fans who do care, who do understand and who do appreciate all of you, are still watching. Your sincere fans know you can turn "chaos" (and Phil Hersh's "undue enthusiasm") into personal victory and triumphant glory whether or not gold or podium placements factor into the equation. It is the journey and the effort that count. If medals were and are the only goal and the only satisfaction, what's the point in ever lacing up, or in spending so much time and money training so hard? Medals are and have always been simply "icing on the cake." It is taking part in the process and being centered and fully aware during the hard-fought struggle in the arena that makes personal victories and grand triumphs so sweet.

WILMINGTON, North Carolina - UNCW men's basketball coach Buzz Peterson will be joined by other top hoops strategists around the country in late September when one of four fall Nike Championship Basketball Clinics is conducted at Trask Coliseum.
The clinic is open to coaches at all levels and is designed to provide insight into all aspects of the game. It will run from Friday through Sunday, Sept. 21-23, and costs $125 for online registration and $150 for on-site registration.
Coaches can register online at www.basketballcoach.com or request a registration brochure and pay via mail by calling (503) 671-3041.
In addition to Peterson, the staff includes former NBA and NCAA coach Stan Van Gundy, former NBA player and coach Bill Cartwright, Bob Huggins (West Virginia), Don Casey (former NBA player and coach) and Chris Mack (Xavier). Other speakers include former UNCW basketball standout and skill development specialist Ganon Baker, strength and conditioning coach Alan Stein and Spencer Wood, a speaker who concentrates on mental toughness.
"We've been in North Carolina before and we're looking forward to coming back," said Ed Janka, director of Nike Championship Basketball Clinics. "The clinic is a great opportunity for coaches to learn from their peers in a relaxed setting. We believe it will be beneficial to all coaches."
In addition to the clinic in Wilmington, Nike will hold sessions in Omaha, Neb., Cleveland, Ohio, and Chicago, Ill.

The current partisan rift over fiscal policy and the deadlock negotiators face regarding the impending fiscal cliff are nothing new. Indeed, divisions over fiscal policy have long been at the center of competition between the two parties. While both parties are taking positions that will benefit them electorally, they may be doing so to the detriment of the country's broader economic well-being. But it is worth noting that the parties' positions on fiscal policy have not been stable over the last seventy years, and both have switched on matters related to taxes and debts. A brief review of the history of the modern Republican Party's fiscal policy positioning provides insights on the origins of the situation we face today, as well as insights into the party's use of tax policy as means to combat government expansion and to win elections.
While the modern Republican Party has long been viewed as the fiscally conservative party, the meaning of fiscal conservatism has varied over the last seventy years. The position of the modern Republican Party has its roots in the mid-1900s. During the 1940s, Republicans had proposed tax cuts as a means to force government retrenchment in the wake of New Deal policies and spending. Just as we are witnessing in the current fiscal cliff standoff, Republican Members of Congress in the 1940s and 1950s rejected increasing taxes as a means for addressing the nation's fiscal imbalances. For example, in 1951, House minority leader Joseph Martin (R-MA) argued against President Harry Truman's proposal to increase taxes:
The Administration's contention that this tax bill is needed to control inflation is economic voodoo talk. No set of controls and no pyramid of taxes ever devised by man wills top inflation in America when the root of the evil is government spending.
Similarly, as they do today, Republicans argued that tax cuts were a better means for stimulating the economy. In 1953, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Daniel Reed (R-NY) argued that "tax reduction, far from enlarging the deficit, would serve to increase federal revenues by stimulating economic growth."
Although the modern Republican Party has come be associated with support for tax cuts and opposition to tax increases, this wasn't always the case.

Rolex Deepsea
Oyster, 44 mm, steel
The Oyster Perpetual Rolex Deepsea is the ultimate reference chosen by professional divers in oceans around the world. A new-generation divers' watch steeped in decades of experience.
Rolex Deepsea
Oyster, 44 mm, steel
The Rolex Deepsea is water resistant to a depth of 3,900 metres (12,800 feet) and built to meet the exacting demands of professional divers. This robust, precise and reliable Professional model unveiled in 2008 illustrates Rolex's mastery of waterproofness, acquired over decades of real-life experience stretching back to the heyday of underwater exploration. It is steeped in the pioneering spirit that led Rolex to invent the Oyster and develop, in the 1950s and 1960s, divers' watches like the Submariner and the Sea-Dweller. The Rolex Deepsea owes its name to the Deep Sea Special, the experimental Rolex watch that in 1960 successfully travelled to the deepest point in the oceans, a depth of 10,916 metres
