Global knives are manufactured by Yoshikin in Niigata, Japan.
The two most innovative features of Global knives are their edge and the way they are balanced. The majority of the Global knives are sharpened or ground on both sides of the blade like western style knives. However, their edges are ground straight to a point rather than beveled resulting in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer. The edge is so large and prominent that it is easily seen with the naked eye and extends a quarter inch or more up from the tip of the knife.

About the Park:
Fort Dummer State Park, located in the Connecticut River Valley, has 217 acres of forest land just outside of Brattleboro.
The park was named after Fort Dummer, the first permanent white settlement in Vermont. Built on the frontier in 1724, it was initially the gateway to the early settlements along the banks of the Connecticut River. Forty-three English soldiers and twelve Mohawk Indians manned the fort in 1724 and 1725. Later, the fort protected what was then a Massachusetts colony from an invasion by the French and Indians. Made of sturdy white pine timber, stacked like a log cabin, Fort Dummer served its purpose well.
The park overlooks the site of Fort Dummer which was flooded when the Vernon Dam was built on the Connecticut River in 1908. This site can be seen from the northernmost scenic vista on the Sunrise Trail. It is now underwater near the lumber company located on the western bank of the river.
Located in the southern foothills of the Green Mountains, the forest is more like those of southern New England than like a typical Vermont forest. Southern tree species such as white, red, and chestnut oaks, dominate the hardwood forest, which also contains beech, maple, yellow birch, and white birch.
An abundance of oak trees provides food and shelter for gray squirrels, turkeys, and deer. Ruffed grouse also inhabit these woods, attracted by its dense woody cover and open understory.
The campground has 50 tent/trailer sites and 10 lean-to sites. These are located in two adjacent areas and are served by two toilet buildings, both with hot showers ($). There is a sanitary dump station, but no hookups. Also located within the park are a small picnic area, hiking trails and a large open field.
Nearby Things to Do: Basketville, Putney; Flea Market, Newfane; Bennington Battle Monument, Bennington; Townshend Dam, Townshend; also, covered bridges in the area.

Recipe by LCROCCO
"No need to travel all the way to France to make this simple dip! It's so easy and so creamy, you'll want to make it every night. Serve with your favorite chips."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
1/4 cup milk
i also grew up with this recipe. next time try this... when adding the onion soup, use a small strainer and sift the powder through and discard the flakes. another simple variation is to use half sour cream and half cream cheese. always be sure to sift out all those flakes for a superb dip!
This dip is good, but I prefer the onion soup mix mixed with a container of sour cream instead. This is good to make when you don't have sour cream though!!
31 Ratings
I don't normally review recipes but this one was very easy to make and flavourful. I won't be purchasing any dips from now on...I will just make my own.
I ended up making this recipe twice. The first time i added the milk, and it came out a little thinner than i would have liked. The second time i made it I cut the milk out completely, and i loved it. It was a huge hit at my Chirstmas party.
I found this recipe much better than the standard soup mix and sour cream . I also lowered the amount of soup mix required (to my taste)I found it turned out much better that way.
Like the sour cream version much better.
I LOVE French Onion Dip. Especially with pretzels. Try it with pretzels instead of chips---a healthier alternative.
My family makes this dip, either with the cream cheese or sour cream, we also sometimes mix the soup mix with cottage cheese.

I haven't been able to actually play Mass Effect 3 too much yet and was wondering how to start the From Ashes DLC so when I jump back on I can. I've never actually been able to start DLCs on the the previous game. It would help me if someone would point out when and where these extra events occur throughout the game.
Take the 2-minute tour
Arqade is a question and answer site for passionate videogamers on all platforms. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Look for the mission called Priority: Eden Prime. Assuming you have the DLC installed, this should be available to you in the game as soon as you board the Normandy and can use your Galaxy Map. It is, in fact, the first thing I did upon having a choice about where to go. As a heads up, there is a bonus mission on that planet called Eden Prime: Resistance Movement. Make sure you've done everything possible on that before completing the main DLC mission, as it appears you can not return to Eden Prime later if you missed anything. |

WTF, Japan, Seriously?: 'Crying Girl' DVD
Because Japan never ceases to amaze me, 'Crying Girls' is a soon-to-be-released DVD of, well, girls crying. Because some people are into that. And those people should be put on a watch list.
It may not be The Crying Game but "Crying Girl" (Nakigao, in Japanese) from Amuse Soft Entertainment has its fair share of crying. In fact, it's almost ALL crying. One after another, 11 minor female celebs shed real tears as they recount some of the worst days of their lives.
The "11 stories of people crying in earnest", as the DVD's tag line states, include some that really don't seem so terrible but instead reflect the rigors of being an up & coming model in Japan's fiercely competitive "idol" culture:* Marika, who was yelled at by her manager.
* Risa, who had been jilted by her boyfriend.
* Nana, who saw a bad picture of herself in a magazine.
* Shiho, who cried when her boyfriend said goodbye.
* Mai, who cried "touching the loneliness of the city".
* Yutaka, who has a friend with breast cancer who's engaged to marry.
Wow, Japan, wow. You have officially crossed the line. That said, for $20 I'll video chat you for 30 minutes and cry my eyes out. BECAUSE I'M SENSITIVE. Muscular and sensitive.

Egypt's ancient pyramids at Giza get makeover
Aug 12, 2008 08:39 PM »
I guess security is good and not getting ripped off by the camel hawkers is better, but I actually think this is really sad. If they build all these designated routes with golf carts all over the place and gate off access to the pyramids... you just lose out on the experience. When you go there now even though there are hordes of tourists you feel like you've discovered an amazing place rising up right out of the desert. -- J.
Egypt's ancient pyramids at Giza get makeover
The Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt: The monuments may be glorious, but visiting Egypt's famed Giza Pyramids has long been a nightmare, with hawkers peddling camel rides and pharaonic trinkets hustling tourists relentlessly at every turn.
But now the hustlers are gone, as Egypt unveiled on Monday the first stage of an elaborate project to modernize the site and make it more tourist-friendly, complete with security cameras and a 12-mile fence with infrared sensors surrounding the site.
"It was a zoo," Zahi Hawass, Egypt's chief archaeologist, said of the usual free-for-all at the pyramids. "Now we are protecting both the tourists and the ancient monuments."
The three Giza Pyramids have long been unusually open for a 5,000-year-old Wonder of the World, especially compared to other world-renowned sites like Greece's Acropolis, Jerusalem's Western Wall or Rome's Colosseum, where security is tight and the movement of visitors is controlled.
The pyramids stand on a desert plateau that was once isolated, but in the capital's expansion in past decades slums have been built right to its edge, separated only by a low stone wall in parts. The rest of the area was wide open to the desert.
Hawkers — many from the nearby impoverished neighborhoods looking to benefit from the tourist dollar — have had free rein, and have become notorious.
Tourists undergo a constant barrage from peddlers selling mock-ups of pharaonic statues and scarabs, T-shirts and other trinkets, or are followed by men on camels selling rides or photos — and rarely taking no for an answer. Young men even try to force their way into taxi cabs carrying foreigners toward the pyramids, looking to steer them to nearby horse stables for a ride around the site.
Tourists have had taken their own liberties as well. Since the 19th Century, climbing the Pyramid of Khufu, the biggest of the three, was a favorite past-time for visitors, continuing into the 1970s — with the occasional fatal fall of an inebriated tourist.
Since then, authorities have cracked down on climbing the giant 2.5-ton blocks, though visitors can still freely ramble around the pyramid grounds, where many tombs and other archaeological sites remain only partially excavated and vulnerable to damage.
The new technology will do away with shenanigans by both sides.
The long metal fence encircling the site is peppered with infrared and motion detectors. Tourists enter through a new brick entrance building, with half a dozen gates equipped with metal detectors and X-ray machines. Once inside, their every step is closely watched by 199 closed-circuit cameras covering every corner of the sprawling plateau.
"It looks clean and beautiful," said Michael Schmidt, 43, a real estate agent from New York City, as he visited the site Monday. "They did a good job."
Shaban Abdel-Gawad, head of the Egyptology department at Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, said the plateau now only has one entrance point, the front gates. "We are making it much nicer for the tourists," he said and pointed to the new bathrooms at the entrance, which he said were of "much better standard."
As Hawass and antiquity authorities showed off the changes Monday, trinket sellers were nowhere to be seen, apparently ordered off the plateau. Three lone camel riders in male Arab headscarf and the traditional galabeyah robes were standing at the edge of the plateau. Instead of chasing customers, they waited for the tourists to come to them for a photo opportunity.
As a reporter walked up, one of them said: "Go away, the police told us not to talk to you."
"I've been working here for 25 years," said a second one, but would not give his name for fear he could lose his permit. "Now I don't know if I will be here tomorrow. I have five children, a wife. What will happen to us?"
It was not clear whether the trinket dealers were pushed out just for the day or whether they would return in a more controlled fashion. Kamal Wahid, the site's general director, said phasing out the hawkers will not be sudden or "unkind."
"Two years from now, you won't see them inside the site," he said. He added that a special area nearby will be designated for horse and camel riding for tourists — with the pyramids serving as a dramatic backdrop for photos.
The changes also increase security.
In 1997, amid a wave of Islamic militant violence, gunmen attacked tourists at a desert temple in the southern city of Luxor, killing more than 60. The militant campaign and most attacks ended in the late 1990s, but bombings in Sinai beach resorts in the past four years have kept officials wary.
The changes are part of a $26 million project that began seven years ago to improve the site, Hawass said. Still to come are a new lighting system, a cafeteria, and a visitors center and bookshop that will give better information on the pyramids, where tourist guidance is sparse.
Once the project is complete, golf cars will drive tourists around the site, similar to those in use in the Valley of the Kings at Luxor and other ancient sites in Egypt.
Exactly how much a future visitor would be able to roam around freely is unclear, but on Monday, Ramish Bissoon, 59, a teacher from Trinidad, felt unrestricted as he explored the plateau with his wife, Molly.
"I don't know what it was like before, but I feel very comfortable and secure," he said. "There are a lot of policemen around."
Hawass insisted none of the innovations will diminish the experience of the visit. "We are giving back the magic of the pyramids," Hawass said.

The only reason for the pyramids to exist would have been the poor being able to earn Hallal money by selling things to the tourists or offering them rides on camel and horses. Now there is no reason for the pyramids to exist, they may as well be demolished and the stone used to build affordable housing for the poor.

Uhh they're impossible to demolish. Previous khilafate tried. They are a cultural and historical artifacts. Architectural marvels. Everyone should go see them at least once a lifetime. There are many lessons to be met here.
Everyone always has this complaint about demolishing sweat shops and shanty towns etc. But in the end it is better for the people themselves. The kids that were hawking things can be sent to school and their parents can work in better conditions/pay inshaAllah. Legitimate shops and museums and security can be set up and this is better for the economy of the locals as well.

"Everyone should go see them at least once a lifetime"
No, everyone should go and see Makkah at least once.
I've been to Egypt once; I didn't bother to see the pyramids though. Why would I want to visit the graves of people who are suffering such a painful torment in the grave that they are begging for Jahanum?
Why would I want to visit the graves of sinful Kaffir when I don't visit the graves of saintly Muslims?
"Everyone always has this complaint about demolishing sweat shops and shanty towns etc. But in the end it is better for the people themselves. The kids that were hawking things can be sent to school and their parents can work in better conditions/pay inshaAllah. Legitimate shops and museums and security can be set up and this is better for the economy of the locals as well."
This is just the excuse colonialists and the corrupt puppets that replaced them use to destroy peoples homes and livelihoods as well as stealing people's lands or forcefully buying them at a fraction of the value.
It is never better for any people except the evil doers who make a profit by it.
The kids that a hawking wouldn't do so if education was an option, and their parents would be working in better conditions if they had a choice. No one chooses bad conditions, people only do so because not doing so would mean worse conditions at best and starvation at worse.
The shops that are called "legitimate" are the ones owned by the rulers and their friends. Shops owned by the poor are the ones that are destroyed so the rich can have a monopoly.
When "sweet shops" are destroyed the owners lose their only source of income, when shanty towns are destroyed, people are made homeless. If "Sweetshop" owners had the option of a better Job, they would already be doing it; if people who live in Shanty towns had the option of living in mansions they would already be doing it. But that is not an option. When thousands of cheep huts are destroyed to build ten mansions, that's not progress and it certainly doesn't mean, the poor hut dwellers now live in great big mansions.
Sorry but what you wrote sounds like: Now that Mubarak and his gang have taken bread out of the mouths of the poor, the poor are all eating Cake!

I dont just complain about sweat shops, I try and steer clear of shops that employ child labour, buy fairtrade whenever possible, and if not do without or better yet find a local alternative. All possible but only doable if you have the determination.
Must say I do agree with Cheese on this one, I dont see the fascination of the pyramids, they were built by tyranny, and stones are mixed with the tears and blood of innocents, they are graves of which the occupants are not even allowed to lay peacefully in this world being shunted from country to country... I was taught to treat the dead with utmost respect and to touch them gently and as little as possible as it causes them pain! What of the mummies currently displayed in the british museum, what must have been their deeds to warrant such punishment in this life?
And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright. Surah 2 Verse 186

guys that's the point: 3:137 Many were the Ways of Life that have passed away before you: travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected Truth.
6:11 Say: "travel through the earth and see what was the end of those who rejected Truth."
12:109 Nor did We send before thee (as apostles) any but men, whom we did inspire,- (men) living in human habitations. Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them? But the home of the hereafter is best, for those who do right. Will ye not then understand?
16:36 For We assuredly sent amongst every People an apostle, (with the Command), "Serve Allah, and eschew Evil": of the People were some whom Allah guided, and some on whom error became inevitably (established). So travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who denied (the Truth)
30:42 Say: "travel through the earth and see what was the end of those before (you): Most of them worshiped others besides Allah."
There's so many of these. Anyway that is the point!! Who were these people? Why did they build these pyramids? How did they build them? How was their society, what did they worship? What was their end? They tried to live forever. They tried to take all their gold and wealth with them. All these are interesting lessons and nope it's not the same as seeing a picture

Smartphones Linked to NearsightednessMARION -- Many children and young adults spend a lot of time staring at phones or tablets. A recent study in England indicates all that screen time could be causing vision problems. It's the constant use of smartphones and tablets for long periods of time. Mix that with how close they're held, researchers say that could be causing nearsightedness in young people.
Aaron, an eighth grader at Carbondale New School, spends at least two hours a day texting and playing games on his phone.
"If I've been on it awhile, and I've been sitting down and I get up, my vision will go all weird for a second," he says.
Aaron says he had that problem before getting his phone almost a year ago.
"It usually only just happens when I'm reading or on the phone," he says.
His classmate Robin uses his smartphone for mainly texting.
"I've googled at like a restaurant nearby or something like that," says Robin.
So far he hasn't noticed a problem.
Researchers say most people hold their cell phones about 8 inches away, if not closer, causing eye strain after long periods of time.
"The prevention solution is not to use the smartphone as much, so you have less strain on your eyes," say Dr. Robert Kippenbrock.
Kippenbrock is an optomestrist at Marion Eye Center. He says in the last 15 to 20 years, it's been a trend to have more children and young people become nearsighted than in the past. There's speculation that there's a gene that is activated with close up work. At around age 21 it's supposed to be turned off naturally.
"With more use of the smartphones and the computers, that gene is staying active," says Kippenbrock.
Causing more people in their 20s, 30s, and even 40s to be nearsighted.
"There's more kids who have been diagnosed with nearsightedness after they're done with college," says Kippenbrock.
Since smartphones were introduced in 1997, researchers say there's been a 35% increase in the diagnosis. And because it's all speculation at this point, both boys aren't convinced the phones will be a problem. But they don't want to take any risks.
"It's not worth it to just be able to do a text conversation if it causes damage to your eyes and destroys your lifestyle," says Robin.
Dr. Kippenbrock encourages holding your phone at least 14 inches away when you're using it. He nearsightedness can also be corrected with contact lenses and lasik eye surgery.

David Ragan Finishes 13th At Kansas
KANSAS CITY, KS – After coming off a career-best finish of second at Chalotte last weekend, Unadilla's David Ragan was hoping for more at Kansas Speedway.
He spent most of the race in the top ten, but a mishap on a pit stop cost the team valuable track position and long green flag runs didn't allow Ragan much opportunity to make up spots.
On his final green-flag pit stop, Ragan got two tires and fuel, while a couple cars out front gambled on fuel mileage and were able to make it to the end. Ragan crossed the finish line 13th while Brad Keselowski took home the win.
"We had a small mistake on pit road and some guys gambled and got lucky," said Ragan. "Sometimes it pays to be lucky. We had a top seven or eight car and I am proud of our UPS team. I can feel a win coming any week. We just got beat by circumstance today. We will work hard and go get them next week."

The VFR1200F remains a good, bordering on great bike. Its quality and finish is peerless; its refinement, ergonomics and ease-of-use impeccable.

The Ducati Streetfighter looks like a crashed 1098 superbike but packs so much presence and attitude it works standing still.

Sunday bikes make you feel good; they're not commuters, they're not people carriers, they're not really track bikes and they're certainly not tourers. They're for summer blasts, posing and polishing to a fine sheen. The MV Agusta Brutale 910 is the mother of all Sunday bikes – expensive, impractical, temperamental and utterly brilliant.

Where in the world is Nikola Pekovic is seriously the greatest thing ever
The Minnesota Timberwolves have had a bit more to cheer about this year compared to their very recent and very dismal past. Ricky Rubio has given the franchise a shot in the arm, and the team isn't in the Western Conference cellar for once. Surely though, the best thing to come out of Minnesota this year is the video you'll see below. It features second year Montenegrin center Nikola Pekovic starring in his version of "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?" aptly titled "Where in the world is Nikola Pekovic." According to the T'Wolves' Youtube video description, it's the introduction to the in-house trivia contest at Target Center.
Perhaps it's the sucker within me for a very dry, ironic sense of humor, but I have laughed out loud every time I've seen this video. Who wouldn't hire Nikola Pekovic to be their classic comedy straight man in a heartbeat? It's long past time for the My Giant remake, right?
As if the original Carmen Sandiego music and lyrics aren't ridiculous enough ("she's a sticky fingered pilcher from Berlin down to Belize"), Nikola Pekovic does everything in his power to perpetuate the awkward foriegn big man stereotype. The results are phenomenal. An ESPY has to be right around the corner.

"We welcome this report. It demonstrates the gap between the recommendations in the NICE Rheumatoid Arthritis Management Guidelines, and what is actually delivered in the NHS. Consequently, it sets a challenge to both Government and clinicians alike. For Government the message is that patients are missing out on vital treatments & services, and it is time to invest in inflammatory arthritis services. It demonstrates that if rheumatoid arthritis is not seen by specialists promptly and treated intensively, it will end up costing both individual patients and the country much more in the long run. Therefore, rheumatoid arthritis services must now have the highest priority. For clinicians the message is that we must ensure that we are providing the best quality care for our rheumatoid arthritis patients.This is a great opportunity for the Government and the musculoskeletal community to work together for the benefit of rheumatoid arthritis patients."

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Migrating PLEX to iTunes
Hi all,
I'm just about to go and purchase Apple TV 3...but before doing so, I wanted to get all my movies and TV Shows in a respectable format so I didn't have to muck around with this after purchasing ATV. Firstly, I've converted all my files to MP4 via Handbrake. Secondly, I had absolutely no metadata or coverart for any of my movies/shows. So I downloaded PLEX Media Manager and uploaded all my files to this. PLEX is quite fiddly but once it's all setup, it's quite easy to use and the layout looks very nice. Anyway, all of my movies/shows now appear in PLEX with all cover art and metadata (cast, year, tagline, synopsis, rating etc). Now, my question is, I want to put all these files into iTunes so it's ready to go for Apple TV. Will all the cover art and metadata (which PLEX has added) automatically come across into iTunes? Do I just drag the files from my folder into iTunes? I spent so much time getting Plex look nice and just assumed that everything would come across into iTunes. I probably should have asked this question before starting! I will try a file tonight...I'm just at work and wondering if anyone can fill me in. Thanks |

You are better off getting a Mac Mini (2010 or later) instead of an AppleTV and use Plex on the Mini.
Plex is much better than AppleTV. I <3 Plex (don't judge me!)

I'm sure the Mini + Plex combination would be great.
But unfortunately I'm on a budget and I'll definitely be getting the Apple TV 3. Seems like I wasted a bit of time downloading Plex lol. So, I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but since you nice folk have already helped me out....what's the best way to get all this metadata and coverart into iTunes (quickly and easily). BTW - I'm on a Windows machine. |

AFAIK, there isn't any quick and easy way. There had been some talk about development of an app that would embed Plex-downloaded metadata and artwork into files, but that hasn't materialized yet.

Jan 22, 2013, 06:11 PM | #7 | |
I'd be there all year if I wanted to add this information manually! I found something called MetaX (available on Mac and Windows) but you have to pay $9.95 for it...I really don't want to pay just to add metadata!! |
0 |
Jan 22, 2013, 06:32 PM | #8 | |
But seriously, yeah, getting iTunes to do any metadata work for you isn't going to happen. It hardly gets artwork for your music by itself. If need be buy the program you found, $10 is worth saving you all that time right? Are you going to convert all your future mkv's into mp4's? Honestly, you're thread should be saying "Migrating iTunes to Plex" and then my advice would be: "Plex will metadata the crap out of your files by itself because its awesome." You could get an AppleTV 2 and jailbreak it and get Plex running on that. It's too bad they haven't been able to JB the ATV3 to get Plex on it (if so I would have one).

Another option is purchase a Roku instead of an Apple TV, because it has a Plex client or jailbreak the Apple TV and install the Plex client.

Just type "add metadata to mp4" into google if none of these options work for you and you should find many other programs. One of them is bound to be what you are looking for! |

At the end of the day I have to recommend Roku over AppleTV, though AirPlay is pretty darn cool.

I use PLEX and the Apple TV 3. I have a Mac Mini connected to one TV and the Apple TV 3 connected to the other. I already converted almost every movie and TV file I have to M4V through iFlicks and added Metadata that way. It dumped everything into iTunes and deleted the original file. Then I pointed Plex to the files so I could use both iTunes and Plex. I have iPads, and iPhone, and a Macbook, so it is nice to have everything runs through iTunes. I prefer the interface on Plex overall, so I use Plex on my main TV with the Mac Mini, the Apple TV 3 on another, and the Plex app on the iOS devices when we are home.
I just tried a Sony Google TV with the Plex app and did NOT like it at all (played the files but way too clunky). I am going to return that and try the Roku 2 XS with Plex to possibly replace my Apple TV 3. I just really like the Apple TV interface. My wife likes it because it is so easy to use. If the presentation of the media and the controls were a little more like Plex, I would just stick with the Apple TV. We will see how the Roku does.

For video conversions / work, even for consumer stuff like format conversions / remuxing (I'm not talking about heavy-weight video editing / post processing) OS X is much-much superior to Windows. ---------- Quote:

It does have Airplay, but I never use it. I prefer to only deal with one device, and the picture quality and functionality isn't as good with Airplay as opposed to using the Plex iOS app.

An epic is a long, often book-length, narrative in verse form that retells the heroic journey of a single person, or group of persons. Elements that typically distinguish epics include superhuman deeds, fabulous adventures, highly stylized language, and a blending of lyrical and dramatic traditions.
Many of the world's oldest written narratives are in epic form, including the Babylonian Gilgamesh, the Sanskrit Mahâbhârata, Homers Iliad and Odyssey, and Virgils Aeneid. Both of Homer's epics are composed in dactylic hexameter, which became the standard for Greek and Latin oral poetry. Homeric verse is characterized by the use of extended similes and formulaic phrases, such as epithets, to fill out the verse form. Greek and Latin epics frequently open with an invocation to the muse, as is shown in the opening lines of the Odyssey:
SPEAK, MEMORY-- Of the cunning hero, The wanderer, blown off course time and again After he plundered Troy's sacred heights. Speak Of all the cities he saw, the minds he grasped, The suffering deep in his heart at sea As he struggled to survive and bring his men home But could not save them, hard as he tried-- The fools--destroyed by their own recklessness When they ate the oxen of Hyperion the Sun, And that god snuffed out their day of return.
Over time, the epic has evolved to fit changing languages, traditions, and beliefs. Poets such as Lord Byron and Alexander Pope used the epic for comic effect in Don Juan and The Rape of the Lock. Other epics of note include Beowulf, Edmund Spensers The Faerie Queene, Dante's Divine Comedy, and John Miltons Paradise Lost. The epic has also been used to formalize mythological traditions in many cultures, such as the Norse mythology in Edda and Germanic mythology in Nibelungenlied, and more recently, the Finnish mythology of Elias Lönnrots Kalevala.
In the twentieth-century, poets expanded the epic genre further with a renewed interest in the long poems. The Cantos by Ezra Pound, Maximus by Charles Olson, The Battlefield Where the Moon Says I Love You by Frank Stanford, and Paterson by William Carlos Williams, while not technically epics, push and pull at the boundaries of the genre, re-envisioning the epic through the lens of modernism.
Examples of excerpts from works in the Epic form:

If this is the incident that occured a month or two ago, it was a Mountain Howitzer......My guess is, it was "overloaded".....ie, the charge was, in reality, too "big" for a reenactment, Some artillert units will intentionally overload their charges so as to get a bigger bang and recoil on the guns. I do not recomend or endorse doing this!! We shoot an original 3 inch ordinance gun and fire about 7 ounces of cannon powder. This is sufficient to get a nice bang, but no re-coil...... I've seen artillery units with Mountain Howitzers fire more powder out of their small howitzers than we fire out of our full scalle, original gun.....Needless to say, we don't care too much when they're placed close to us. As to praying at the alter of safety......You better bet that safety needs to be and must be practiced! However, when there's a car wreck at the Indianapolis 500, no one strats screaming to ban cars.......just a thought..... |

Florence Petersen's book, First Tracks, on the early days of Whistler, has been available for almost a month now and I'm delighted that so many have been sold already and how much positive feedback we have had. Florence wrote this book because she wanted to preserve the memories of the pioneer days and she would have been so happy to know that so many people were reading and enjoying hearing these tales.
One of the great things about First Tracks for me are the maps, which really help me to get a sense of how everything fitted together at that time. Often people will describe to me a location and I think I have an idea where it is, but when I look on a map I realize that my guess was way off. Therefore a big thank you must go to Tom Barratt, who created the map of the valley that is used in First Tracks and generously donated it for Florence to use. Florence then was able to determine where most of the buildings and settlements were from her own memories and still more were identified through research into the archives.
There are five maps in all, showing everything from the location of the railways stations to logging camps to the homes of the early settlers. The map printed in this article pinpoints the locations of all the lodges. Most people know the location of Rainbow Lodge (the name "Rainbow Park" kind of gives it away). However, it was only when I started working with Florence on First Tracks that I realized that the area where The Point arts centre is, was originally the location of Harrop's Tea Room and later Cypress Lodge. In fact, the building that The Point is in is part of the old Cypress Lodge. Although I had probably been told this several times, it was only when I worked on the map that this information sank in.
In total there were six lodges around Alta and Nita Lakes and only one of them, Tyrol Lodge, is still in existence today. First Tracks tells the story of each one of them and brings it all together with photographs and, of course, maps.
Copies of First Tracks are available to buy at the Museum's gift shop for a suggested donation of $20. We are open daily, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sarah Drewery is the executive director of the Whistler Museum.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Some research has suggested that religious people may have a buffer against major depression — but new findings cast some doubt on that. Researchers said people who develop depression might be more likely to stop going to services, which could explain why those who regularly…

I saw this discussion on the other site and I have had this discussion with a few people before. (Please delete if already posted) But I was wanting to know if any of you think CMS will introduce a new uniform to usher in the "new era" of Kentucky Football?
I really dislike the uniforms now. I think the checkerboard idea was good but it was not executed very well. I would really like to see some classic style uniforms. My Alma mater, Morehead State (was a Nike school just switched to Russel), got rid of the cookie cutter Nike uniforms and got a classic look from Russel. Links below:

What do you think should CMS go with more classic uniforms or try to spice it up? Or do you think he will keep the same ones for now?

I agree with the classic Power K on the helmets. I think that with a matte finish would look sharp. I understand that some want the flashy look but when it comes to looking good I think the simpler the better. I would like to see UK introduce some grey uniforms with a matte blue helmet with the K or the UK on the side.
I think we should have black uniforms ( I know that isn't a school color) because recruits seem to be drawn to it when taking pictures from their visits. Maybe a black uniform with grey and blue worked into it somehow would be really cool IMO
I think Stoops and his staff have a pretty good idea what the kids of today want. If it requires an update uniform then you can rest assured it will be done. Or they may stick with a more traditional look and put an end to the alternating uniform combinations. Team & school recognition is going to be a priority when UK plays on TV.
Whatever Coach Stoops decides to do I will support it.
As far as the helmets, my thought is plain white, blue, and/or black with either the power K or the current interlocking UK logo. No stripes, no claw marks, no Maryland style shield or such nonsense. Just a plain, clean, understated helmet.
As far as the actual uniform, basic blue, white and black/gray trim may not allow much room for experimentation, unless Kentucky would decide to go the "Oregon" uniform route.
I am not opposed to anything as far as matte goes. It's different but is becoming pretty normal these days. It has looked pretty nice on some of the more notable teams having it that I can remember, like Oregon, Mississippi State, Texas A&M, & Oklahoma State. Seems like I remember seeing Boise State wear them several times too.
I am not opposed to anything until I actually see it. Plain is good, but alternative looks can be fun too as long as it is not "garish" in nature or just plain ugly. And please........... no "f'ugly " uniforms.
Like I said earlier, whatever Coach Stoops decides(if he is the one that decides this stuff?)is fine with me. I really don't care what our uniforms look like as long as we start winning SEC games. That's the bottom line with me, just win SEC games and we're all good!

One thing about uniforms is that I want for it to be recognizable by everyone. Like the numbers on the side of the Alabama helmets or the Wings on the Oregon helmets. What ever is or isn't decided I would like to see KY football building a name brand for itself with wins on the field and success off of it as well.

Kids/Recruits don't like traditional uniforms.....they want to stand out and be different.
Only slightly true. Kids care more about trying to win and get to the next level. Nothing about Alabama, Auburn, LSU, and Florida Uni's that are flashy. Just different color combinations on some. I wouldn't mind trying some new color combinations. And for Pete's sake, if you are going to wear a black uniform then get a freaking black helmet!!! It is repulsive to have on that white helmet with those uniforms. Makes my stomach turn looking at it. I'd do away with anything checkerboard as well. Checkerboard in college football is Tennessee, period.
And if you want to make things nicer, do something with the field unique. Our field, like our basketball court, is too boring.
I'll be in the minority here, but I really like our current uniforms. Not a huge fan of the all blue look, but certain looks are very well done
White helmet, Blue Jersey, White pants
All White look
Blue Helmet, White Jersey, Blue pants
Blue Helmet, Black jersey, Black pants
I think those four uniforms are excellent

I hope this is true. I would like some grey uniforms. That would be different and you could incorporate classic style with some new age flash! Hascany of the reporters asked CMS if they have discussed new unis? I'm thinking probably not with all the other actual football preparations that need to be done

I'd be fine with new uniforms but we have a lot of options as it is now with the uniforms. Let the players wear what they like and excites the recruits. Forget trying to placate to the old timers who want nothing but traditional unis. It's not abou them!
Agreed. I don't like the all-blue combo, but there are a LOT of good possibilities with the 3 colors we currently have for helmets, jerseys and pants. For example, why not go with white/black/white for a change instead of feeling like it has to be black-on-black (jerseys and pants) every time we wear any black at all? Or maybe white/white/black or white/white/blue on the road? If we were to add a black (preferably flat/matte black instead of a high sheen) helmet to the rotation, the possibilities get even better.
All of that said, I expect we will see something new in the uniforms this year. It is pretty common for that to happen with new coaches, especially when they are trying to instill a new mindset or commitment around the program. With the connections the Stoops family has, it makes this an even greater likelihood, IMO.
