1. | missing link | ||
May 21, 2009 Urban Word of the Day
A man who is covered head to toe with thick and wiry hair. He's so hairy, he's the missing link that connects humans to apes. Joe: "Damn, it's 115 degrees out here. Why doesn't Tom take off his shirt?"
Dick "That poor bastard is so hairy, he got tired of being called the missing link." |
2. | missing link | ||
See: George W. Bush Hey look! We found the missing link between humans and monkeys!
3. | Missing Link | ||
To look at your video game rack, and realize one of your Legend of Zelda copies are missing. "Where the hell is my Ocarina of Time!? I have a missing link!"
4. | missing link | ||
Creationists' undisputed proof that evolution is 100% wrong. The standard reasoning is that, since not every single human being who has ever lived since before we were human beings has been dug up, we don't know for 100% sure that they're all *really* related. more...
Resulting alternate postulations necessarily involve the sudden mass-extinction of one species, almost immediately followed by the magical and/or miraculous introduction of a new species - homo sapiens - by the creationist's deity of choice, be it God or aliens. Despite the fact that this "theory" cannot hold up to a tiny fraction of the rigor they grace the theory of evolution with, proponents of intelligent design often fervently insist that the "missing link" in the chain of evolution is undeniable proof that the theory of evolution is entirely unfounded, and that their highly unlikely postulate of intelligent design must be the only logical solution. In reality, the "missing link" represents but one piece of missing evidence among millions of pieces of existing evidence for evolution. This can be contrasted to the almost complete lack of any evidence whatsoever for the proposed alternate theory of intelligent design, as well as the willful ignorance of any physical evidence that does in fact exist (which is commonly dismissed by arguments such as "LOL THE DEVIL PUT IT THERE"). The field of psychology explains that this type of reasoning has its roots in a phenomenon known as the "confirmation bias", which is ... |
5. | Missing Link | ||
The act of waking up after a long and fruitful night of partying; and someone you didnt even know walks by (preferably a door way) to go to the bathroom. "damn dude last night was crazy"
"hell yea" "hey who the fuck was that?" "iunno" "MISSING LINK!!" |
6. | missing link | ||
The inexplicable phenomenon, when for no rational reason...you go a whole day without taking a poo. Nick felt perfectly normal, yet he was acutely aware of not having taken a dump nearly two days now. Where was this missing link?"
7. | missing link | ||
A derogatory term which refers to the scientific community's search to bridge evolution's gap between chimanzees and homo sapians. Nina - "Did you see that butt-ugly chick? She had the face of an ape!"
Kristina - "Yea, she was a real missing link." |


text: Whilst this may just be my D2 rose colored glasses speaking, D3 whilst being a lot of fun, pales in comparison to D2 (IMO). It's an ok game, but it has issues as others have stated. Gameplay is fun, freespec removes the incentive to create multiple characters of the same class, items have issues, and the always online DRM is not something I support. The story, man don't get me started about the story and plot holes... Anyway despite these gripes I'm still having fun with the game, here's improves over time as D2 did.

Rice Protein
Rice Protein- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount Why AtherosclerosisRefer to label instructions [1 star] Though not yet proven in clinical research, animal studies suggest that rice protein-based diets result in less buildup of atherosclerotic plaque compared with animal protein-based diets. Athletic PerformanceRefer to label instructions [1 star] Some athletes believe rice protein may also improve blood flow to muscle to enhance growth and repair. However, no research has investigated the effects of rice protein on athletic performance. ObesityRefer to label instructions [1 star] Dieters who are gluten or dairy sensitive and looking to supplement protein might consider rice protein, though its actual benefits for weight loss have not been studied.
Rice protein is extracted from rice and used in some protein supplements. Vegetarians may prefer it over protein supplements made from animal sources (such as whey or casein, which are milk proteins). Since rice is rarely involved in food allergies,1 rice protein may also be preferred by people with food allergies, and may be suitable to use in hypoallergenic infant formulas.2 Rice protein is not a complete protein, however, due to insufficient levels of the amino acids lysine and threonine.3, 4 Therefore, these amino acids are often added to rice protein products to correct this imbalance.

A poignant and inspirational love story set in Burma, The Art of Hearing Heartbeats spans the decades between the 1950s and the present. When a successful New York lawyer suddenly disappears without a trace, neither his wife nor his daughter Julia has any idea where he might be…until they find a love letter he wrote many years ago, to a Burmese woman they have never heard of. Intent on solving the mystery and coming to terms with her father's past, Julia decides to travel to the village where the woman lived. There she uncovers a tale of unimaginable hardship, resilience, and passion that will reaffirm the reader's belief in the power of love to move mountains.

In 2000 he published Cracks in the Great Wall, a nonfiction book about China. The Art of Hearing Heartbeats is his first novel. He lives in Berlin with his family.
Kevin Wiliarty has a BA in German from Harvard and a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley. A native of the United States, he has also lived in Germany and Japan.

Praise for The Art of Hearing Heartbeats…
"[The Art of Hearing Heartbeats] is a love story set in Burma…imbued with Eastern spirituality and fairy-tale romanticism…Fans of Nicholas Sparks and/or Elizabeth Gilbert should eat this up." —Kirkus Reviews
"An epic narrative that requires…a large box of tissues." —Publishers Weekly
"Sweetly tragic." —Library Journal
"No matter what I even attempt to say, I can't possibly capture the absolute magic of this book. Like a spell, it haunts. Like love, it's going to endure." —Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You
"A story at once both poignant and joyous, The Art of Hearing Heartbeats reaffirms how love can transform the harshest of realities into a mystical one. Sendker takes us from contemporary, upscale New York to impoverished Burma, weaving a complex tale that is part romance, part father-daughter story. Reading this book was like reading poetry, with full attention required for each sentence. A thoroughly immersive and enjoyable read." —Margaret Dilloway, author of How to Be an American Housewife
"Set in Burma, The Art of Hearing Heartbeats is a rare novel. Telling the story of a young blind man's journey through a world of auditory intensity, Jan-Philipp Sendker renews one's faith in the possibility of real, pure love. I finished the book in tears." —Shawna Yang Ryan, author of Water Ghosts
"This book has the right mix of romance, magic, heartache and inspiration that will make it a favorite for a lot of people.…This brilliant author, Jan-Philipp Sendker, has gifted us with a story that is so powerful and moving. It will touch your heart and you will want to share it, it is THAT good." —Romance Book Reviews
"So intense and delicate at the same time that it takes your breath away. All human flaws become less important, all physical challenges are taken in dignity. The magic of the story evolves slowly…It will touch your heart deeply." –Zuckerbuecherei
"A masterfully told tale of enduring love, the twists of fate and the journey life takes us on to discover what is truly important." –SCLS Reading Suggestions

Now, thanks to the web cam which went live in December, viewers from all over the world have the opportunity to see the same view. As of Jan. 23, approximately 30,000 unique visitors – some from as far as way as Japan and Europe – had "tuned in" hoping to see the eagles on their nest.
The eagles have built a substantial nest in the top of a pine tree not far from the main entrance to the college. After leaving for several months, they reappeared in October and November 2012 and were seen mating. With an incubation period of 33 to 35 days for any eggs that might have been produced, offspring are expected soon.

Postgame thoughts: Bulls' D stuffs Hawks
A few thoughts after tonight's 97-58 loss to the Bulls: - Where do we go from here? Up, hopefully. A tough two weeks for the Hawks hopefully has hit rock bottom, which means the tide will begin to turn - First quarters continue to be a nightmare for the Hawks away from the Highlight... »

This Working Paper presents key findings and case studies from the partnership on Domestic Accountability between the Minister for Development Cooperation of The Netherlands and SNV. The partnership was initiated in 2008, and has been operational since in four countries in East and Southern Africa, i.e. Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zambia.
This Working Paper germinated in a meeting in Dar es Salaam (December 2010), bringing together SNV staff from various countries involved in the Domestic Accountability partnership with their respective Netherlands Embassies.
A capability statement concerning our work on Agriculture in Africa which focuses on equity and growth for smallholders.
La présente note thématique est basée sur les expériences de la SNV en matière d'appui aux pasteurs en Afrique, en vue d'améliorer leurs moyens d'existence. Elle se fonde sur une large gamme d'études de cas qui, à travers le continent, mettent en évidence un certain nombre de traits communs aux
pratiques des pasteurs. La collaboration avec les pasteurs nous a appris qu'ils ne sont pas les traditionalistes que l'on décrit souvent. Ils s'adaptent au changement rapide comme tout autre groupe en Afrique. La présente note met en exergue l'éventail de stratégies d'adaptation, d'options de commercialisation et de mécanismes institutionnels qui ont cours à l'heure actuelle au sein de ces communautés. Ces expériences démontrent que le travail de la SNV a permis d'apporter des améliorations tangibles aux moyens d'existence des éleveurs, tout en augmentant leur contribution au développement écon omique dans certains des milieux les plus difficiles en Afrique aujourd'hui.

The aim of the reserach was to get a further understanding of the souvenir sector within the Zanzibar tourism industry. By focussing very much on the tourist perspective this survey explores the market demands and needs. By understanding the overall system it was then possible to analyse the market opportunities of Zanzibari products. This was to determine an appropriate course of action for increasing benefits to Zanzibaris working in the souvenir subsector.
In June 2010 SNV, together with IFAD, organised a conference on 'brokering knowledge for upscaling best practices in Inclusive Markets Access in East & Southern Africa', which brought together over 70 participants from 11 African countries from donor, public and private sector to share experiences. This report summarizes the main issues discussed during the conference, of which the main focus was seeking to bring about systemic change for larger-scale sustainable inclusive markets with a wider significance.
This publication has been produced as part of a series under the Building Advisory Practice (BAP) initiative of SNV East Africa; conceptualized and supported by a team of SNV staff and advisers. Lead consultant for the BAP initiative is Rob Sinclair.
An energy transition is required in Tanzania. Household energy needs are currently largely met by unsustainable wood fuel resources and many households experience energy poverty. The traditional strategies to introduce modern energy are slow and unable to reach households in inaccessible and poor areas.
To make an energy transition and to meet the energy demand in Tanzania in a sustainable way solar PV (photovoltaic), improved cook stoves (ICS) and biogas technologies were selected based on the appropriateness of the technologies in rural Tanzania and their sector development.
Moreover this study shows that sustainable energy provision requires a sector of independent enterprises that own the capacity to provide these appropriate energy technologies. Cluster strategies promote the development of groups of such enterprises. The institutional setting for such cluster strategies was found to rely on civil society organizations, mainly because the representation of the rural energy topic on the local level by district governments and public agencies is virtually absent.
Based on the research in Tanzania inceptive cluster strategies are reported and five types of cluster promotion are categorised. The research results point to cluster promotion through existing value chains as currently the most suitable strategy for achieving this goal. In rural Tanzania it makes economic sense to use the limited infrastructure to integrate energy provision and appropriate energy enterprises with existing business activities, such as diary and Jatropha production. The crux is to create the right institutional setting to develop the mutual benefits of sustainable energy provision for households and enterprises.
This annual report provides more detail of the strategic position choices SNV made in East and Southern Africa in 2007 and illustrates our approach with case studies from our practice.
This report gives an overview of SNV's proceedings in the edible oilseeds sector in Tanzania, from 2007 to 2010. Interventions aimed at increasing income for at least 80,000 smallholder households to derive a higher income from oilseeds production or related activities by 2010. To that effect key interventions included: Producer Group Strengthening, Market Intelligence and facilitating Value Chain Financing.
Energy in Africa capability statement
Biogas: Viable or Not? An explorative study to the feasibility of introducing biogas and the impact on HHs' livelihoods in the Northern regions of Tanzania (2007).
In the first part of the study an extended overview of the geographical context, the theoretical framework underlying the research, and the methodology used is presented. The report continues with an overview of the history of biogas is Tanzania with elaboration on its main actors, such as like SIDO, AATP, GTZ, CAMARTEC, ELCT, SUDURETA, HEIFER, ABC, PHCA, BSC, KAKUTE and FIDE. It continues with an evaluation of the present status of biogas, the socio-economic profile of users and non-users, a status and technical performance of the biogas plants and its appliances, and positive and negative lessons learned.
Further, the study evaluates the requirements that are needed for the introduction of biogas. These are divided in technical, socio-cultural, financial/economical and institutional requirements. A division is made between contextual and conditional factors. These factors were given a score according to their current status, where the scores show an overview of the feasibility of introduction of the technology.
In the third part the study looks at the impact of biogas on HH level and gives a future outlook. A comparison of theory and practice is presented, as well as the impact of biogas on HHs livelihoods.
The fourth and last part of the report present concluding remarks, looking at which initiatives and developments have occurred so far in Tanzania, the main contextual and conditional factors related to introduction of biogas, the impact of biogas on the livelihood of the HH, and the outlook for the future of biogas in Tanzania.
This study has been prepared with regard to the initiative "Biogas for Better Life – an African Initiative". Tanzania suffers a severe energy crisis on all levels. In response to this, current governmental policies promote, amongst others, biogas as an alternative source of energy. Tanzania has a long history of biogas utilization since 1975. Several stakeholders are involved: from the local government, parastatal, research and religious organisations - to organisations in the private and financing sector, and NGOs. As a result, nearly 3,000 biogas plants have been constructed while most of them used subsidy to finance the construction. The majority have been of fixed dome design.
Some of the lessons learned from previous biogas projects carried out in Tanzania, are that biogas technology is relatively mature, it fits well with the livestock farming practices, it reduces deforestation, and it improves the life of users. The main barrier is the high cost involved. A turn-key 8 m³ biogas system (fixed dome design, including piping and appliances) in Tanzania costs about 1,200,000 TZS
Knowledge of biogas is limited to the general public, but where the concept is known, it is widely accepted, even in cases where a latrine is attached to the digester. In this study, a target group of at least 276,000 households has been identified and out of this group, about 102,000 customers have been identified as likely to invest in biogas within a national domestic biogas programme. Estimates on Tanzanian market possibilities to construct biogas digesters conclude that about 50,000 units may be built within ten years.

This thread is for useful information for all players and links.
Presently, this is mainly a list of useful links.
Getting things running:
Main mod page: http://dayzmod.com/
Installation Guide: http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2085
Optional but recommended extras:
Guide to getting Mumble voicechat working so you can work with RPS buddies: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/foru...nd-other-games
(A good push to talk button for Arma is 'tab', but remember that Arma's freelook key is alt, so you might prefer to use ` or ~, basically the key under escape.)
Guide to running the ARMA 2 Beta patch w/ DayZ on steam: http://forums.steampowered.com/forum...35&postcount=3
(Beta patch is optional, and is backwards compatible. Is said to improve some netcode, but I haven't noticed any difference beyond being able to join servers using the beta patch. Details on getting the beta patch are in the install guide above.)
Ingame information, maps, etc.
Map of choice for navigating around Chernaus: http://avidblur.com/arma2/
Great loot map with similar functionality, but less good for navigating: http://www.teamfackin.com/moocow/dayz/map/ (loot map may or may not be outdated with new patches.)
DayZ Wiki: http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
DayZ other useful info: http://dayzmod.info/
Getting the Beta Patch running with Day Z.
Step one: Install the Arma 2 Beta Patch.
Get the link with the GREEN BACKGROUND. It looks like a page header, it's actually the latest build. Download it, run the .exe
Step two: Edit a launch command file.
Problematically, for steam users, this seems to make the steam overlay go away. There may be a way around this, but we do not know it.
What you do is you go into the root directory for Arma Operation Arrowhead, usually in program files / steam / steamapps / common / Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead, or wherever else you've installed it. You should see a .cmd file named something like _runACO2_beta.cmd. Make a copy of this file, rename it _runACO2_beta_dayz.cmd or whatever suits you, then right click it, edit it, and either edit it as per this guide: http://forums.steampowered.com/forum...35&postcount=3 or copy paste the entirety of: http://pastebin.com/SU3DHpqZ into the .cmd file. Then save it.
Step three: Actually running the game.
Then, make a shortcut to the .cmd file on your desktop or wherever you want, and double click it. It iwll launch Arma 2 for you, with the beta patch, and DayZ. We hope. The .cmd works like a .exe.
Hope that works!

I'm so in!!! :) Looking forward to ALL of your upcoming courses. I just applied for a Transitional Kindergarten position. I interviewed on Thursday so hopefully I'll know my fate tomorrow. Fingers crossed!!!
Thanks Sally and Happy Mother's Day! I totally need in service hours, but I don't know if this would work. My state calls them CEU's and they have to come from a state college or educational institution. Do you know if this would work? I am currently out of the classroom, staying at home with my daughter, but I want to keep up my teaching certificate.

Handlebar height could affect the sexual health of hot girls on bikes
Aside from the fat, hairy men dressed in the full spandex kit struggling to pedal up hill, what's not to like about biking? It's fast, it's fun, it's good for the planet, it's good for you, and it's great for drive-by whistling at chicks…ah yes…the chicks…hot girls on bikes…my favorite thing.
Has anyone else noticed that hot girls are just drawn to riding bikes? And it's not just one type of hot girl. You've got girly-girls, athletic girls, punk girls, hipster girls, and other kinds of girls I can't even think of out riding around on their bikes dropping the jaws pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists. If you're not convinced, look through Fuck Yeah Girls and Bikes and you'll see plenty of hot girls on bikes.
Though these hot girls on bikes are keeping their bods in shape, a new study says that handlebar height could have an affect the sexual health of these babes. Read more…

Skype for iPad now available
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Social Networking, Free Apps
After a false start this morning, Skype today released its official iPad app.
Skype for iPad is now available for download in the Apple App Store. The free app is compatible with Apple tablets running iOS 4.0 or higher.
"Skype for iPad is beautifully designed and optimized for the iPad. It offers the best of both worlds for users who want a larger Skype experience, on-the-go," Skype said in a blog post. "The large iPad screen is perfect for bringing Skype video calls to life, in either landscape or portrait view, and because it is on the iPad, Skype video calls can be made at the beach, in a car or even lying on a couch."
Skype promised several iPad-optimized features, including two-way video calling for those with an iPad 2. Connect with other Skype users on PCs, Macs, or iPhones and Android phones with front-facing cameras.

Ancestry app surpasses 1 million downloads
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Reference, App Store News, Free Apps
Ancestry.com on Tuesday announced that its mobile app for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch has received over one million downloads.
One-third of those one million downloads occurred in the last two months alone, and over half of the app users are new to Ancestry.com.
"We've been pleased with the early adoption of our iPhone and iPad apps and believe we are just getting started," Eric Shoup, senior vice president of product for Ancestry.com, said in a statement. "It's a natural extension of the Ancestry.com service and another way to help our members discover, preserve and share their family history."
Ancestry.com Inc., the world's largest online family history resource, has nearly 1.4 million paying subscribers, who have created more than 20 million family trees with over 2 billion profiles. In the past 14 years, more than 6 billion records have been added to the site.
Tweetbot review: New king of the Twitter mountain
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Social Networking, New Apps, Reviews, Videos, Free Apps
We've spent the last half-day or so completely enamored with the latest release from the fine peeps over at Tapbot, Tweetbot. Typically, a new Twitter client isn't anything we would get excited about, as there are probably hundreds out there, and the free Twitter for iPhone does the job well enough anyway. However, we've been impressed with every other app that Tapbot has put out. We're talking about things like Calcbot, Weightbot, Pastebot, and the awesome Convertbot. So when they released Tweetbot after working on it for over a year, we had to check it out.
It's difficult to describe everything that Tweetbot does, but if I had to sum it up with one statement, I'd say "It just makes sense." Oh, and also, it's a joy to use. While the official Twitter app has been suffering from feature bloat (going so far as to try and force a trend bar on us,) Tweetbot is a refreshing throwback to what made Tweetie great in the first place. They've even managed to make lists actually useable and convenient, rather than a clunky add-on, by giving each its own timeline.
We highly recommend Tweetbot -- get a look at the video above that walks through its interface. Pretty slick, right? You can get it now for $1.99 in the App Store.

Bing launches magazine-like iPad app
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Reference, iPad Apps, New Apps, Free Apps
Microsoft knows the importance of the mobile audience, even when it means taking advantage of a competitor's mobile platform—in this case, Apple's. Since late 2009, iPhone users have been able to download a Bing app that offers voice search, local shopping, scrolling image search, maps and directions. Now iPad owners get a Bing app that adds a new trends feature, which lets them explore the trending search topics of the week.
The new app, which is available in the iTunes App Store starting today, sports a homepage featuring the trademark (and often stunning) Bing photo of the day, along with tiles showing local weather, news, maps, movies, and trends. The interface makes a lot of use of the swipe touch gesture, especially in image search. A dropdown menu offers all these choices plus Images, Videos, Shopping and History—that is, your search history, not the school topic.
Trends shows tiled images for the week's major current events. It can almost be thought of as a lightweight replacement for an app like The Daily or Flipboard. Touching one of its images opens a search page showing news and images about the topic, like MLB Opening Day. Some topics get a slicker treatment rather than just a Bing search results page: touching through an entry about "30 Rock's" Tina Fey labled "Ms. Bossypants" displayed a grid of stories that somewhat resembled the New York Times' Web site layout. After reading a result page, you can swipe left-to-right to get back to the trends page.
Facebook brings event check-ins, unfriending to iPhone app
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Social Networking, App Updates, Free Apps
Facebook yesterday updated its iPhone app to version 3.4, bringing enhancements to the News Feed and notifications UI as well as the option to check-in to Facebook Events on the go. For unfriending that cannot wait until you get back to your desktop, the app adds that, too.
The signature feature of the update, of course, is the mobile check-ins for Facebook Events. We previously reported that Facebook added another layer to its location-based functionality by including a check-in icon available on the day of a given event. The company had pledged to launch the feature soon on the iPhone and their mobile site. Yesterday's update fulfills that pledge.
Formerly, the only way you could check in to a Facebook Event was through Facebook Places, which entailed checking in to locations as you would with Foursquare or Gowalla. Now users can check-in to events themselves, opening up new possibilities for companies and individuals. For example, you could arrange contests at events.
Twitter concedes, finally removes Quick Bar from iOS app
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Social Networking, App Updates, Free Apps
After a rather rough start, Twitter on Thursday said it will remove the Quick Bar from its iOS app, which provided users with updates on trending topics.
Though the Quick Bar - referred to by some as the "Dick Bar" after CEO Dick Costolo - had "incredibly high usage metrics," Twitter has opted to remove it from the app rather than continually update it.
"Rather than continue to make changes to the QuickBar as it exists, we removed the bar from the update appearing in the App Store today," Twitter creative director Doug Bowman wrote in a blog post. "We believe there are still significant benefits to increasing awareness of what's happening outside the home timeline."
The Quick Bar was added to the app earlier earlier this month as part of an upgrade that also made it easier to access features like photos, trends, and links. It sat above a user's Twitter feed and displayed one of the days' current trending topics. Tapping the word would take you to a list of recent mentions.
Vimeo for iPhone brings free video editing, uploading, sharing
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Entertainment, New Apps, Video Apps, Videos, Free Apps
Video site Vimeo on Tuesday unveiled its official iPhone app, which will allow users to create and edit videos, watch existing ones, share with friends, and more.
"We've packed all the best parts of Vimeo into one app! Now you can upload, edit, manage and watch your videos right from your iPhone," Vimeo said. "Need some inspiration? Watch great videos based on your personal preferences or our curated channels."
The app's video editor allows users to: capture video with focus control and grid alignment; combine, edit, and trim videos; add transitions, titles, and effects; add music and recordings; control volume levels; and save videos to camera roll or upload directly to Vimeo.
Footage can be uploaded to Vimeo in standard or high-definition, and the app allows users to pause uploads, replace videos, and edit details.

Those messages can have two directions:FromERP : integration messages posted by the legacy systems. Connector will read, validate, and insert them on MSCRM;FromCRM : integration messages posted by MSCRM. The creation of messages is obtained through Plugins or Workflows, and MSCRM will post those messages on Connector database.Besides operating using Microsoft-supported methods and classes, Code-K Connector offers full possibility of entity and relationship insertion, i.e. accounts and its related contacts.

Indians sign Tom Mastny
The Cleveland Indians today announced that they have signed RHP TOM MASTNY to a minor league free agent deal and will report to Early Spring Training minor league camp on March 2.
Mastny, 29, returns to Cleveland after spending the 2009 season in Japan pitching for the Yokohama Bay Stars. He went 1-5 with a 5.69ERA (61.2IP/39ER) in 15 games for the Bay Stars. Before going to Japan he spent the previous four seasons in the Indians system appearing in a career-high 51 games for Cleveland in 2007 (7-2, 4.68ERA).
The Borneo, Indonesian-born righty has made 80 Major League appearances/1 start with Cleveland, going 9-5 with five saves and having an ERA of 6.13 (94.0IP, 108H, 64ER, 51BB, 85K). Tom was originally drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 11th round of the 2003 amateur draft out of Furman University.
1 Comment
I will surely check out Mastny comeback, I think it is far more worth to see than the video of Funnyordie – Presidential Reunion. But anyway, I?m totally thrilled to know that he signed for Cleveland once again. Hopefully, he will do his best and make the most of it. And for his fans, I know they are excited to see what he can do for this Early Spring Training. Good luck!

The CD-ROM includes Free CD-ROM of The Complete Official Guide for GMAT Review, 12th Edition.
The Official Guide to the GMAT, 13th Edition will be the only guide on the market that contains official questions from the new Integrated Reasoning component being fully integrated into the test in June 2012. Because this component is more interactive than other core components in the GMAT exam (Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical Writing), the Integrated Reasoning practice questions are housed on a companion website that readers will be able to access after purchasing the book.
In addition, 20% of the current questions are replaced -- all with official questions used on actual GMAT exams. No other GMAT study guide can provide this.
This book is the only guide on the market to include study information and practice questions written by the writers of the test.

I ordered this book from Flipkart.com one afternoon and got it within the next evening. Book was in good condition except for the top left corner of the cover page slightly folded, which might have happened during the shipping. But other than that the standard of order processing was good.
Coming back to the book I'm more than half-way in to it. Its got easier questions than the Kaplan ones but I guess since its from GMAC it should mirror the standard we can actually expect on the GMAT. Most of the questions are pretty easy if you have solved Kaplan before. Explanations are thorough and satisfactory. I found some reviews on Amazon.com and they say that its just a re-publication of the previous OGS. I can't comment on that because I haven't gone though the previous ones.
A bit bulky to carry around, if you are planning to carry it on your business trips. However its good value for money and a must-have for anyone preparing for the GMAT.
P.S. For Heaven's sake please don't buy the Barron's book. Go for Kaplan if you want more practice.
The above review by Subbu is actually misleading. Please read the book summary - the GMAC has clearly stated that only 20% of the questions are new. It is unclear what Subbu expected even after reading this. This book provides a great way to kick off your GMAT prep and includes a primer on the new IR section. It's worth getting this book even if you have the 12th edition ; don't compromise on your exam prep for a mere 1000 bucks. And please don't be carried away by such misleading reviews.
First off, I'm extremely happy with FlipKart's delivery. It was prompt, and I received the book in very good condition.
Now, about the 13th edition:
I'm very disappointed in the way GMAT folks have come out with a new edition - that has so little to offer.
The caption on the cover reads "More than 900 questions from past GMAT exams" - while this is true & does offer a comprehensive question bank, be warned that almost 70% of the questions are repeats from the 12th Edition. I own the 12th edition too - and I was disappointed so see this much of an overlap between these 2 editions.
There is no change in the "Strategy" sections of 13th edition as well - they are exact copies of those in the 12th edition.
From June 5, 2012, GMAT is introducing a new section called "Integrated Reasoning". This book does have a brief section dedicated to it, and offers 50 practice questions online. You'll have to register yourself to get access to those questions; for this you should use the unique access code printed at the back cover of the book - which you should do as soon as you get the book delivered, to prevent any misuse. Oh, and by the way, the access to those questions expire exactly 6 months after you register - so make good use of the practice questions as soon as possible.
Apart from a few additional questions in the verbal & quantitative section plus the 50 IR questions, 13th edition does not have anything more to offer than the 12th edition.
So in conclusion- I would say if you have the 12th edition, don't buy the 13th edition - but if 13th ed is going to be your first book, go for it. There is no other book which offers actual GMAT questions.
The Official guide is the closest simulation you can get of the real GMAT exam only because its written by the GMAC itself. It features about 800 past retired questions which will really give you great insight onto what you can expect when you go to write the real exam. You have to go through this book at least once before writing your GMAT, or else your preparation is incomplete or probably flawed severely.
Just to sum this book,
1) It provides REAL GMAT questions, hence, simulating the actual difficulty level of the real GMAT.
2) The questions are arranged from the easiest to the toughest
3) It provides an overview of the question types that are most tested on the GMAT
1) The explanations are sometimes cryptic, especially for Sentence correction. With Sentence Correction in particular, you would definitely need something to supplement this section of the book, just to understand the official explanations
2) The concept reviews before the start of each section is pretty useless. Its good if you want to understand topics are being tested, but if you really want to learn the concepts, from scratch I suggest you add another book to your study schedule.
3) The current GMAT Verbal section has been revised, and idioms are not being tested as heavily as it was before. Instead GMAC has put more focus on meanings, and scope shifts in questions in the verbal section, so the official guide Sentence correction section doesn't accurately cover the topics that the revised GMAT is testing.
Personally, I found the book very helpful. Its essential to incorporate this in your study schedule and I recommend it to all. But beware that you do need to use other books to complement your study schedule, this book alone wont do it.
I think this version is utter crap. I request everyone preparing for GMAT to either refer to the Manhattan material or Kaplan 800 or the new book by Princeton which has over 1200 practice questions, to have any remote chance of doing well in the exam. This material given by GMAC is way too simple as compared to the actual questions which pop up in the GMAT.
I would ask you guys to trust me since I have been a GMAT instructor for the past 5 years and would absolutely not recommend the official on grounds that it is outdated and too simple. In fact I don't recommend it to any of my students appearing for the same.
This is a very good book to start your GMAT preparations. And, being the only book from the creators pf the test, it provides a...

Midwest Living Review
The Redlin Art Center is a massive, three-story building just off Interstate 29 on the eastern edge of Watertown. The center pays tribute to Terry Redlin, artist and hometown hero. The center claims a total of 155 original Terry Redlin oil paintings and 55 prints of his early paintings. Redlin's paintings feature idyllic scenes of rural Midwestern life: flocks of geese, farms, cabins in the woods and lakeside campsites. Each painting features a brightly illuminated backdrop, with light emanating from the setting sun or from the windows of cabins. Winter and fall are Redlin's favorite times of the year, and evening is his favorite time of day. The center also boasts an entire floor that's been recreated to resemble one of the cabins in his paintings, a retail store, and a 30-acre park with walking trails and ponds. Just north of the building is the Terry Redlin Pavilion, which is a popular spot for weddings, conventions and other gatherings. The Redlin Art Center is free and open year-round. If you're looking for more information about Watertown, note that the visitors center is also located at the art center.

Out Here: Lee County chose controversial path
If you live inside Dixon, Rock Falls or Sterling, you'll probably never see an industrial wind turbine near your home. But that's not the case in the country.
Many residents are concerned about wind turbines in their neighborhoods. They want all the information they can get about proposed wind farms.
Lee County, in the view of some, is not making that any easier.
