Purchased As New
I bought this Avalon new in 2006 and I must say this has become my favorite daily driver of all the cars I've had and I've owned many. It just turned 184,000 miles. In that time I have not had one single mechanical problem. I did have the oil line recall fixed even though it never leaked. I had the accelerator recall done even though that never was a problem either. (NASA recently proved it impossible to have unintended acceleration. Ive consistently changed the oil. I had to replace the battery once but this car has the original spark plugs, water pump, serpentine belt, alternator, etc. EVERYTHING, its amazingly reliable. The 3.5 liter engine is sewing machine smooth and powerful. Ive averaged 27 mpg the whole time Ive had it. People say its an "old man" car but I dont think so. To me it is a a cheaper and bigger version of a ES350Lexus. The difference between the Avalon and Camry is huge. The feel and drive is just completely different. The Avalon feels like an expensive car and the Camry feels like a budget car. I still dont think I've seen a car with as much rear seat and leg room, its gigantic. The Avalon will carry five large adults with ease....read morehide

- Pros
- Interior space & appearance, styling, smooth hwy rid
- Cons
- Hesitates when accelerating in stop & go traffic, rattles in interior
This is actually a new 2007 model. Toyota has learned and applied nothing from customer feedback on 2005 & 2006 models. Very frustrating. Most expensive Toyota since 1985 of owning Toyotas and the worst satisfaction.
Don't buy if little nuisances are a big thing to you, like noise and rattles and poor transmission shifting. As it is designed, transmission downshifting is erratic.
Not a great value. Can do better spending less. Would recommend buying a used one if you really want an Avalon. Maybe all the noises and rattles have been fixed and the value would be better if though the transmission design would still be the same.
Suspension is too mushy at expense of handling....read morehide5 out of 7 people found this review helpful.

- Trans. shift drag when not completely stop.
This is the 2nd time I write the review.Toyota should do something about this trans. problem,it's ruin their reputation.Engine noise is louder than my 97 Camry.Wind noise & cabine noise are loud.I encounte a new problem : the streering machanism make some noise when car strart to move,I can feel some play( gap) from the streering wheel.Will take to the dealer & hope they don't deny this problem....read morehide

- Pros
- Decent power,good fuel economy,comfortable
- Cons
- transmission shift is rough unless you're completely stopped,rattles
Rattles coming from back seat,passenger side and dealer can't seem to fix it. Had 1997 Camry which had far fewer rattles. The transmission surges when you accelerate from slowing down but not stopping completely. For the price,I expected more from this car and from Toyota. After having owned several Toyotas,this may be my last....read morehide

- Pros
- Trouble free motoring. Quiet. Third Toyota I have bought.
- Cons
- Steering is a little too light for me. My spouse thinks it's perfect.
This car is the equel of any American vehicle. Interior is very well made. Engine response is excellent. Plenty of get up and go. Excellent trade in.

Was this review helpful to you?
- Pros
- smooth handling, comfortable ride..great look,,
- Cons
- XLS should have heated seats..acceleration could be improved to a faster pickup..
All round great car. Not enough storage room in the trunk.. a little more leg room in the front and back..should have a better stereo sound for the cost. Acceleration too rough, sometimes the accelerator whines before kicking in.. not good when caught in a situation.

- Pros
- Love the Blizzard White color. Roomy interior. Large trunk.
- Cons
- Hesitation on acceleration drives me nuts! Rotten egg smell upon acceleration. Frontend rumble.
Service cannot fix hesitation or rotten egg smell; they cannot find rumble. Also had a problem with the rear door not opening when unlocked (safety hazard). Took 3 tries and a lot of complaining from me for service to fix. Dashboard too busy. Toyota sales misrepresented the autostart feature. Very disappointed....read morehide

Was this review helpful to you?
- Pros
- Mediocre acceleration on the highway
- Cons
- transmission slips when accelerating, bad interior design, 20mpg highway
I was shokingly surprised to find that my 2006 Toyota Avalon (19,000 miles) has very little to offer.
The transmission slips when accelerating from a stop. It's as if the fuel engagement is delayed. Handling around curves and corners is very weak and it almost feels like you're driving a van.
The fuel door often sticks.
The worst thing about the Avalon is the interior. The automatic windows are difficult to control. They always want to go all the way up or all the way down.
The driver/passenger seats are extremely uncomfortable. They are like sitting up against a brick wall.
If you have to hang a shirt on the hook above the rear windows, the shirts will be laying over the back of the seat. It's simply bad design and placement.
When positioning a child seat in the back, it is difficult to reach the anchors behind the bench. It is very difficult to use a child seat in this vehicle.
I would never consider another Toyota. Bad Mistake!!!...read morehide2 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

- Pros
- fuel, ride, quiet, looks and size
- Cons
- way to much plastic for the money and car floats
I think the car is a good one, we looked at them all. We have had the car for a little over a year and the only problem has been to
much plastic on the inside.0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.

- Pros
- This car is a DREAM to drive!
- Cons
- none that I've found yet
I just purchased a 2007 Avalon XLS and I just truly find driving it a pleasure. I got one equipped with the Navigation System and it seems to lack details at times, but otherwise I have ZERO complaints. Lots of get up and go, maneuvers just great, and it's worth every cent I spent for it. Without a doubt my Avalon is the finest car I've ever owned, the ride is super quiet, pleanty of power, excellent sound system, etc etc. Just NICE to drive!...read morehide

Olly: I was undone
Blackpool manager Ian Holloway admitted he had been outwitted tactically by Alex McLeish after his side's 2-0 defeat at Birmingham.After impressing in defeat to Manchester City last week, Blackpool were comfortably beaten by the Blues.Holloway said afterwards: "We were beaten by the better team and the manager beat me with his tactics."They passed the ball superbly well and I did not expect them to play a diamond in midfield. I felt I let the lads down a bit."But I shall also have a go at our scouting set-up because no one told me they would play with a diamond."It's a fair result. We've got to learn from that. We created chances but the better team beat us. I said that we are on a learning curve. I'm learning in this division as well."

Rebound of Matt Gentile's search. Just wanted to try incorporating the search icon into the type. There's probably a lot you could do with the "c" as well...Century Gothic for those curious
Anthony Macchio
Pretty clever and I read it right away, but I keep seeing a 'Q'.
Jim Nielsen
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean...I kept seeing the same thing. I tried some variations, including the handle of the magnifying glass on the left side so it's not a Q, but this one just seemed to be my favorite. Like you said, the context of the magnifying glass with the rest of the word gives it away pretty easily I think, but I bet there is a better way to do it....I just haven't thought of it ;)

Abstract: | In this brief, a near-allpass strictly stable minimal-phase real-valued rational infinite-impulse response filter is designed so that the maximum absolute phase error is minimized subject to a specification on the maximum absolute allpass error. This problem is actually a minimax nonsmooth optimization problem subject to both linear and quadratic functional inequality constraints. To solve this problem, the nonsmooth cost function is first approximated by a smooth function, and then our previous proposed method is employed for solving the problem. Computer numerical simulation result shows that the designed filter satisfies all functional inequality constraints and achieves a small maximum absolute phase error. |

I am a second-year Ph.D. student advised by Rodrigo Fonseca,
primarily interested in networks, distributed systems, and security. I am supported by an
NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
I completed my undergrad at the University of Washington where I studied computer science. During my time at UW I
primarily worked with Justin Cappos on topics related to
sandbox security and API Write-Once-Run-Anywhere verification.
I also worked on the GENI
supported peer-to-peer testbed called Seattle.
More details can be found in my CV.
- 2014-02: I will be presenting our paper "Low-latency Network Monitoring via Oversubscribed Port Mirroring" at the Open Networking Summit's Research Track.
- 2013-12: Visiting Nathan Bishop Middle School to help students with an Hour of Code.
- 2013-09: Attending IMC '13 via a generous travel grant by the NSF.
- 2013-06: NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Awardee (2013), Brown blog post
- 2013-04: Poster Judge at NEUCS '13. Sadly, the event was canceled.
I will be at IBM Research in Austin working with Colin Dixon this summer.
Current Research
Low-latency Network Monitor and Control Methods
Software-defined networking introduces the possibility of building self-tuning networks that constantly monitor network conditions and react rapidly to important events such as network congestion. Unfortunately, state-of-the-art monitoring mechanisms for conventional networks require hundreds of milliseconds to seconds to extract global network state like global link utilization or the identity of "elephant" flows. My work in this area looks at improved techniques for measuring and controlling high-speed 10GbE or higher data center networks. This is ongoing work with my colleagues at IBM Research and Brown.Network Impact of DISC Frameworks
Data Intensive Scalable Compute (DISC) frameworks such as Hadoop and Spark are becoming increasingly important tools for many institutions. Inherently the network is a key factor in the performance of these frameworks, yet this interaction is still poorly understood because of the growing complexity of applications and large shared data center infrastructures. My work in this area is a systematic study of the impact between the network and the end-to-end performance of DISC framework applications.Publications, Posters, etc.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet certified in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Send Brad a message explaining your needs and you will receive a response by email. Have you already emailed Brad or another tutor? If so, you have an account! Sign in now
If selected, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
All of Brad's current tutoring subjects are listed at the left. You can read more about Brad's qualifications in specific subjects below.
I use the flipped model here, where I will assign a short youtube video on the topic we are working on. I expect the student to watch and try a few problems. We will then spend our session working on what the student is having trouble with. The goal is to achieve certain objectives centered around school or mastery of a subject.
I start with an interview to determine what the areas of weakness are and to establish a rapport with the student. Math is one of those effort-intensive subjects where you will get more than a few wrong before getting them all right, which is our goal! Then, each session will start with the 'flipped model'. This means that I will have the student watch a 5-10 minute YouTube video on the topic and try a few problems as homework. Then, when we have our session, I will work with the student to pinpoint where they are doing things incorrectly. After fixing it, we will verify the student has it down before moving on to other things.
I begin with ascertaining what the problem is, whether it is comprehension and vocabulary to the student knowing how to pronounce letters, sounds, and words. Then, I try to quickly build confidence and teach good reading habits involving keeping a dictionary handy, sounding out words, and how the student can test him or herself to make sure it is sinking in.
Spelling Strategies:-Identify patterns in pronunciation, sounds, and words that cause trouble-Develop practice plan to make correct spelling, pronunciation, and translation from hearing it to spelling it-Develop long term learning plan based around reading to learn how to spell.-Utilize free online sources
Hourly Fee: $115.00
Save up to 15% with a discount package
Cancellation: 12 hours notice required
Save between 5 and 15% on tutoring by purchasing credit with one of our prepaid discount packages. You can buy one of our standard 5, 10 or 15% packages or customize your own package based on how much tutoring you need. The credit you purchase can be used towards any tutor at any time and does not expire. If you do not use the entire package, we will simply deduct what you did spend on tutoring from your original purchase price and give you a refund. Discount packages start as low as $190.
Your first hour with any tutor is protected by our Good Fit Guarantee: You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Brad R. has not yet had a background check. After sending a message to Brad, you will be able to order a background check for $7.99. The check will be processed by First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.

Does competitive sport respect children's human rights? Is intensive training child labour? Is competitive stress a form of child abuse?
The human rights of children have been recognized in the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and ratified by 192 countries. Paulo David's work makes it clear, however, that too often competitive sport fails to recognize the value of respect for international child rights norms and standards.
Human Rights in Youth Sport offers critical analysis of some very real problems within youth sport and argues that the future development of sport depends on the creation of a child-centred sport system. Areas of particular concern include issues of:
- over-training
- physical, emotional and sexual abuse
- doping and medical ethics
- education
- child labour
- accountability of governments, sports federations, coaches and parents.
The text will be essential reading for anybody with an interest in the ethics of sport, youth sport, coaching and sports development.

More about Starlin Castro, who will become the 10th Cub to wear uniform #13, from today's press release:
At 20 years and 44 days old today, Castro will become the youngest Cub to make his major league debut since Oscar Gamble on August 27, 1969 at the age of 19 years, 250 days. In addition, Castro will be the youngest to make his debut with the Cubs as a shortstop, surpassing Marty Shay at 20 years, 144 days on September 16, 1916. Since 1920, only 18 players have made their major league debut as a Cub at a younger age than Castro.
Thanks to the wacky way major league teams are scheduled now, the Cubs are playing the Reds for the second time in Cincinnati in less than a month. That makes six games vs. the Reds before they play the Cardinals once -- and the Cubs will face the Pirates for the second time (next weekend at Wrigley) before they play the Cardinals at the end of May.
For those who think this season is toast, let me tell you the story of a recent major league team. This team had just come off a pretty successful run where it had made the playoffs two out of the previous three seasons, and started off the following year with a decent, but not great, record, and after 27 games stood two games out of first place.
And then they started losing. Three in a row, followed by one win. Then four losses in a row, followed by another single victory, then three more losses, one win, then four more losses.
If you've lost count, that's a 3-14 stretch. During this stretch, this team lost five games in which they gave up nine or more runs and got outscored 118-52. At the end of this horrific run, this team was 19-25, ten games out of first place.
So where did this team finish? They lost 100 games, right? Finished 40 games out of first?
Obviously not, or I wouldn't be telling you the story. This is the story of the 2002 Oakland Athletics, who won 103 games and the AL West. This kind of thing happens all the time. Just ask the 2003 Marlins, or 2005 Astros, or 2006 Twins, or 2007 Rockies -- all good teams that got off to shaky, bad starts, but recovered to make the playoffs, and three of those teams went to the World Series.
The Cubs aren't as good as the 2002 A's. But neither are they as bad as they've looked the last three games. This team can turn it around.
Tonight would be a good time to start.
Today's Starting Pitchers | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tonight features a pitching rematch of the game in Cincinnati on April 9; Silva threw extremely well in his first Cub start, but the Cubs lost in one of several early-season bullpen meltdowns. Bailey gave up seven hits and a pair of walks. The April 9 game is Silva's only career start vs. the Reds; Bailey is 1-1, 5.63 in three career starts against the Cubs. The Cubs, in fact, will face the same three starters in this series that they faced in April: Bailey, Aaron Harang and Mike Leake.
Today's game is on CSN Chicago and on FSN Ohio. Here is the complete MLB.com Mediacenter for today.

NEW YORK Global steel wire fabricator N.V. Bekaert SA is expanding its Van Buren, Ark., steel wire fabricating facility to produce galvanized prestressed concrete strand, the first operation of its kind in the United States, a source at the company told AMM.
The Kortrijk, Belgium-based company is installing a seven wire strand machine, a "major step forward" in supplying end markets that previously relied on imported galvanized PC strand or non-stressed strand, the source said. "It is the first and only (galvanized) PC operation in the U.S."
The new offering is expected to be available in the second quarter for the construction and transportation end markets in the United States.
Bekaerts Arkansas expansion could give the company new market share ahead of a possible U.S. federal infrastructure investment ( amm.com, Feb. 21), Bekaert said. The Buy America Act requires suppliers to public infrastructure projects to use domestically produced material, and the Van Buren expansion would capitalize on the potential new market.
The company declined to comment on the size of the facility or the volume of wire that will be produced.

Pastor Jeremiah Steepek transformed himself into a homeless person and went to the 10,000 member church that he was to be introduced as the head pastor at that morning. He walked around his soon to be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with people for service, only 3 people out of the 7-10,000 people said hello to him. He asked people for change to buy food – no one in the church gave him change. He went into the sanctuary to sit down in the front of the church and was asked by the ushers if he would please sit in the back. He greeted people to be greeted back with stares and dirty looks, with people looking down on him and judging him. As he sat in the back of the church, he listened to the church announcements and such. When all that was done, the elders went up and were excited to introduce the new pastor of the church to the congregation. "We would like to introduce to you Pastor Jeremiah Steepek." The congregation looked around clapping with joy and anticipation. The homeless man sitting in the back stood up and started walking down the aisle. The clapping stopped with all eyes on him. He walked up the altar and took the microphone from the elders (who were in on this) and paused for a moment then he recited, "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' 'The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.' After he recited this, he looked towards the congregation and told them all what he had experienced that morning. Many began to cry and many heads were bowed in shame. He then said, "Today I see a gathering of people, not a church of Jesus Christ. The world has enough people, but not enough disciples. When will YOU decide to become disciples?" He then dismissed service until next week. Following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ should be more than just talk. It ought to be a lifestyle that others around you can love about you and share in.
CLARKSVILLE, TENN. A Clarksville pastor telling his or her congregation to love others and look out for the welfare of those less fortunate is not a major sermon. Its said every Sunday from the pulpit by preachers, pastors and ministers all across America. But has it been said so often that people have quit listening or tuned out the message of living like Jesus? Rev. Willie Lyle, newly-appointed pastor of Sango United Methodist Church, has delivered sermons over the years that challenged congregations to demonstrate the gospel of Christ. However, that is not what he decided to do on Sunday, June 23, his first day as Sangos new pastor. He did something different. Preaching the gospel of Christ was part of his sermon, but this time he spoke from an entirely different point of view. A message in a dream Three days after receiving the news in April of his appointment as Sangos pastor, he was awakened by a dream at 2 a.m. This dream was different from any in the past. In this dream, God told Willie to do something very specific, and God promised Willie if he would do this, then He would provide for Willie and protect him. There was a problem. What God asked Willie to do was not something Willie wanted to do, and he had no interest in doing it. It was clearly out of his comfort zone. In that dream, God told Willie that he needed to live on the streets of Clarksville as a homeless and hungry person. He challenged Willie to experience firsthand just what it was like to have nothing no home, no money, no friends, no food on even a semi-regular basis, no nothing. Essentially, what God was saying to Willie was, I hear you preach the word of God and share the message of Christ. Now, I want you to actually live it. And I want to hear how you liked having nothing and being treated with disrespect and disdain by almost everybody. Im not finished. I want you to tell your new congregation about your experience and challenge them to make a difference in the world, beginning right here in Clarksville. According to Willie Lyle, his conversation with God was pretty much a one-way conversation. God talked Willie listened. I didnt find any comfort in what I was hearing. I definitely wasnt comfortable with the idea of living on the streets, even if for only five days. Lyle continued and said, My faith is incredibly strong. My relationship with God is the most important thing in my life. Without my faith, I am nothing and I am of no use to my family and others. But I was willing to do what God wanted me do. He also commented, You know, life isnt always comfortable. Jesus wasnt comfortable on the cross. Not comfortable Pastor Willies wife, Suzette, dropped him off in downtown Clarksville early Monday morning, June 17, and he lived on the street through the morning of Friday, June 21. In those four and a half days, he learned a great deal about the homeless, the working poor who face hunger daily and those in need of spiritual and emotional help. It was not comfortable. There was something else Willie learned, and it was not comfortable at all. He learned from firsthand experience just how many people who are fortunate in life look down upon and ignore the homeless, the hungry and the poor without ever taking the time to learn their story. Generally speaking, people are not kind to the homeless, he observed. I know there are people who live on the street and choose to do so. I am talking about the homeless and poor who find themselves in circumstances beyond their control and they have nothing, he explained. Sadly, sometimes they dont even have hope. They most definitely want food and shelter, but they also seek the food and shelter found in the message of Christ. Im not sure churches are addressing those needs. Actually, I believe churches could learn a lot from the homeless and hungry if they were willing to open their eyes to the truth. Life on the street Once on the street, Lyle learned quickly some important things needed for survival, including who to trust and not trust, where to get meals, where to sleep so that he would not be arrested by police and where to hang out. People on the street dont trust you or talk with you at first. They want to know who you are and why you are homeless. Its not that they are rude, but just very direct. Much of what I learned, I already knew from my years as a pastor, but I wanted to hear it from the homeless. I learned immediately that Loaves and Fishes served a meal every day. That meal was delicious, and the volunteers were great. Something he was not very familiar with was a Clarksville program called the Food Initiative. It is a group of teens who are involved in different food projects around town. When he ate at Loaves and Fishes on Wednesday, volunteers from the Food Initiative were serving meals. Two young men were especially impressive. These two high school boys called me sir, introduced themselves to me, shook my hand and wanted to know how I was doing. They treated me with respect and dignity. These are our future civic leaders and church leaders. Each had a servant attitude, not a judgmental attitude. Other experiences Although the Clarksville pastor never made it to Manna Café, other homeless said that agency was the best place to go for assistance. He also heard about the Old Firehouse. He walked there one morning from downtown to get breakfast. He noticed there were only five people there and wondered why. After arriving and being handed a bunch of paperwork to complete and submit, I decided maybe the paperwork requirements kept people away. It was a hassle. I did get to take a shower and was grateful for that. Lyle had a great experience at The Well, a program located on Union Street sponsored by the Church of Christ at Trenton Crossing. Every Wednesday evening, they provide a great meal, an uplifting message and you are accepted there. You can even get a haircut at The Well. Those folks care. A better understanding Remarking on what he now understands so much better, Homeless people walk slowly, and now I know why. They physically hurt all over from sleeping on concrete, the ground or on wooden floors. They dont own Air Jordons and thick socks. People should try sleeping on a wooden floor sometime. Its painful. Something that Willie noticed during his week on the street was the large number of families who battled hunger every day. Most are referred to as Americas working poor. They simply do not have enough money to feed their children on a regular basis. I met one man who cleared $125 each week in his job, but his rent was $100. He had to use the remainder for bills and food. I sure dont know anybody willing to trade places with him. A one-of-a-kind sermon Throughout the week, Willie kept a small journal of what he was experiencing. These notes become the foundation for the sermon he delivered at Sango UMC on June 23, a sermon that caught the congregation off-guard. Only four people at the church knew what Willie was doing. Early morning on June 23, Willie lay under a tree on the church lawn covered up by a big overcoat. He still had not shaved or combed his hair. He wondered how many people would approach him and offer him food, or a place to sit inside an air conditioned room, or just see how they could help. Twenty people spoke to him and offered some type of assistance. The sermon title was The Least Used Parts of the Body and based on I Corinthians 12:12-15. According to Pastor Lyle, Often the least used parts of the body are the ones that mean the most, like our heart and mind. We need to understand that there are no small or least used parts in the body of Christ. Too many of us only want to serve God one hour each week. That doesnt cut it. That is not Gods plan. While he preached, his daughter-in-law cut his hair and his daughter helped shave off his scruffy beard. He changed shoes, and beneath the overcoat, he was wearing his Sunday clothes. He put on a tie and his suit coat, all the while continuing to preach his message. Before the 200 people gathered that morning, he went from looking like a homeless person to the new pastor of the congregation. This was not some grandstand show on my part. I wanted everybody to know what I had been through, what I had learned and the physical and emotional discomfort I experienced and that I am still dealing with. And I made sure to mention more than once that Christ was not comfortable on the cross. 'Be part of the solutions' Willie got the attention of those present, and some were uncomfortable. If I made someone squirm, then so be it. Sango UMC is not going to be a congregation that talks about issues and solutions. We are going to be part of the solutions to the problems we face in our community. We are going to get our hands dirty as we live like Jesus and help others. Talking is easy. Doing is harder, and sometimes it is really uncomfortable. At the end of the sermon, Lyle issued his challenge. Part of that challenge called for the congregation to do our mission, and service to others is going to be a major part of that. Pastor Willie Lyle said, Our goal should be to improve and change the lives of people as we live like Jesus. You see, we look at the outside of others and make judgments. God looks inside at our heart and sees the truth.

There are only a handful of franchises that can take a 19 year hiatus and return stronger than ever. I have very high hopes for Indy. The new trailer for "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" debuted on "Good Morning America" today. Joining Harrison Ford are Cate Blanchett and Shia LaBeouf as the sidekick.
For years, everyone's been waiting for an indication that either Sony's Blu-Ray or Microsoft and Toshiba's Blu-Ray format would emerge triumphant and the other would go the way of the BETA deck. Today, finally, a crucial tipping point in this battle in which the $20 billion dollar home video market is at stake.
Everyone's been talking about how DVDs are dying, and that nobody's buying the archaic discs. But guess what, you'll probably get a whole bunch as gifts this year. There were more DVDs sold this Thanksgiving than any previous year, up 6 percent from the same weekend in 2007. Now, it's important to point out, that at the same time, the overall retail revenues from DVDs has fallen thanks to the big box retailers' deep discounting.
DreamWorks principals David Geffen and Steven Spielberg have been negotiating to move their studio to NBC Universal from Paramount Pictures, the New York Times reported Saturday.
Jerry Seinfeld's "BeeMovie" had plenty of sting left during its second weekend, replacing "American Gangster" as the No. 1 choice for North American moviegoers.
Could it be a "black-and-blue" Friday for Blu-ray? There are rumblings about a big announcement coming from Wal-Mart that could give a big boost to HD-DVD. I'm hearing that the company will begin selling the Toshiba HD-A2 for $98 in a special one-day, in-store secret sale. The unit sells for $198 at Circuit City and Amazon, so this is a steep discount.
Malibu is so beautiful, and so far from the grind of LA traffic, it's a natural fit for Hollywood moguls and celebrities who want peace and quiet on their private beach, and the ritziness of the local Malibu Country Mart, which of course is home to a Nobu sushi restaurant. The dozens of high powered Hollywood honchos and are now suffering from the terrible wildfires.
Ben Stiller's new comedy "The Heartbreak Kid" barely registered a pulse at the weekend box office in North America, in a badly timed setback for its underappreciated studio DreamWorks.
After Michael Bay declared on his blog that he was refusing to direct "Transformers 2" because he was so upset about Paramount ditching the Blu-ray format to be exclusive to HD DVD, Bay has changed his tune. He followed it up with a post saying he'd overreacted, had been convinced by some Blu-ray fans. He says he was convinced to support HD because he learned that HD had cheaper players--around that $200 magic number.
Another battle in the very long war. For years Sony's Blu-ray has been battling with Microsoft and Toshiba-backed HD DVD. And everyone--the studios, the disc and player manufacturers, and consumers--is just dying for one format to emerge victorious and the other format to fall the way of the BetaMax. HD DVD just scored an unexpected win, after Blu-ray had taken the lead. DreamWorks Animation and Viacom's Paramount (including DreamWorks Studio) just committed to releasing their films...
DreamWorks SKG couldn't have gotten off the ground more than a decade ago if it weren't for Paul Allen's $500 million investment. Perhaps his work is done--now he's selling $150 million of DreamWorks Animation stock back to the company, and doing a secondary offering to sell an additional 10 million shares to the public.
Earnings news and analyst revisions were some of the catalysts behind the most actively traded stocks on Wednesday.
Shares of DreamWorks Animation SKG, the animation film studio behind "Shrek," rose on Friday after an analyst began coverage of the company with a "Buy" rating, predicting gains from upcoming films
Everyone's talking about the New York Times piece on Creative Artists Agency losing Hasbro. Now everyone's wondering if CAA's trying to do too much for too many. CAA has said its going for 100% market share. But does that really make sense in an industry where you don't want to be represented by the same company as your competitor is.

I was wondering if it is possible to have the color of the menu bar text buttons change. Is there CSS code I can add to customize this?
I actually was hoping to have a rollover effect (change of color on mouseover) on the text of the menu bar buttons. Currently, I was able to have the background change color on mouseover, but I would like to have the type change color if possible. You can see how it is on the site currently: www.visions-decor.com
#header .jqueryslidemenu ul li a:hover{ color:#000000; }
Thanks so much, I put it in, but it doesn't seem to be working. Do you have any idea why that might be?
Hi, the site has been working fine but we have been told its not working in ie 9 or 10?
The sub pages don't show any content in the window. Any thoughts of how to solve this?
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
It's working fine for me on IE9 and I will test it in IE10 to see if there is something wrong.
Beautiful theme.
Pre-purchase question. I would like to purchase this for a client. My only concern is when scrolling down the menu and a secondary menu appears it blocks access to the main menu. Is there a way around this?
But the submenu disappears when youmove out the cursor. Is that what you mean?
.jqueryslidemenu ul li ul{ left:100%; top:0; } .navbar .dropdown-menu:before{display:none;} .navbar .dropdown-menu:after{display:none;}
my website is www.psyketing.com
it's still under construction but:
Google Analytics code is being displayed in the footer area (on home page) as if it's plain text. Can you help me?
In addition, the "blog" main page displays only a few number of posts and no pagination etc. Am I missing sth?
Hello, Do you know if I could add the plugin WP-PHOTONAV to your theme?
https://fmos.at/wp-photonav/Thanks for your help
Yes, it should work with out problem.
I'm pretty disappointed with this theme. It's not up to the standard that I usually see from ThemeForest and is not worth the $45. I'd go as far as to say it's not fit for sale.
The way you create the special galleries (the main point of this theme) is confusing, unreliable and a general pain.
You start by creating a new page and setting the template to the specific gallery you want, e.g. bootstrap gallery. Simple enough so far.
But then you have to upload media (you cannot select from your WP media library) and when you upload the images, nothing will appear in the page body. So you can't see what images were selected and there's no way to edit which images should be included or excluded without just wiping it and uploading a fresh set.
The help documentation video shows the exact same thing, which is how I worked out how to create the galleries.
This is real hacky. I do not recommend this theme and will contact Themeforest to request a refund.
This way you can see what images you have in the Gallery and also edit them.
But I will take you comment in mind and release an update to make this easier. I take very seriously the reviews from buyers.
Tengo un problema al igual que el anterior comentario.
Cuando creo un porfolio no puedo insertar imágenes que tenía anteriormente en la galería ¿Solo existe la opción de subir nuevamente las fotos para se queden enlazadas en el porfolio?

Tradition as Invention: The 'Traditions Tradition' and the History of Ideas in International Relations
There are no files associated with this record.
Title | Tradition as Invention: The 'Traditions Tradition' and the History of Ideas in International Relations |
Author | Jeffery, Renee |
Journal Name | Millennium: Journal of International Studies |
Editor | Annika Bolton, Douglas Boulton, and Mireille Thornton |
Year Published | 2005 |
Place of publication | London |
Publisher | Millennium Publishing |
Abstract | Although they have been a central feature of the disciplinary history of International Relations, little attention has been paid to the historical and epistemological implications of designating certain sets of writers and their ideas as belonging to particular `traditions of thought'. In light of this, this article is concerned with the theoretical conceptualisation of the term `tradition', its historical connotations, and its specific application to the history of IR scholarship. Relying heavily on Michael Oakeshott's philosophy of history, it argues not only that traditions are inherently `invented' phenomena but that the purposes for which they are invented — that is, whether they are historical or practical in orientation — is central to the analysis of their contents. Having established a theoretical understanding of `tradition', the article discusses the works of John G. Gunnell and Brian C. Schmidt as providing a number of useful ways in which traditions, thus conceived, might be analysed before demonstrating how this might be done in IR scholarship using the works of Martin Wight and Hedley Bull as a pertinent example. In doing so, the article also seeks to make a more general claim about the need for greater historical awareness in contemporary IR scholarship. |

Aramis Body Shampoo on a Rope, 163g
god fathers day present
I did not know what to get my husband from our 17 month old daughter, so when i came across the aramis soap on rope it was a blessing in disguise. He was thrilled to bits and he smells lovely, never known him shower so much.
