Embarcation was the only poor point on a 5 night mini cruise taking almost 2 hours from arrival to boarding ship. Everything else was a major plus point making this the most enjoyable cruise we have taken.
The cabin was well appointed, immaculately clean and maintained so,comfortable beds and with a good roomy en suite with shower.
The food was superb with an excellent choice in the breakfast, lunch and late supper buffets we used, with efficient and friendly service in the main dining room. The bars and lounges supplied drinks at normal Uk pub prices,without pressure and NO service charge.
The entertainment was by far the best we have experienced with excellent quality shows in the theatre from the Balmoral company plus great shows from comedian Lloyd Davies and fine singer Bruce Anderson. The entertainment team were also excellent throughout the ship with fine singing and entertainment from Jamie Clark, lovely vocalist Jessica Samuel and good music from Frankie Jones and the Q-Tones. On the sea days there were excellent well supported lectures.
The fitness and beauty salon are attractive and well equipped.
Overall a great holiday break and great value for money.

Hybrid IS adds "shifting" to regular IS, compensating for movement of the sensor on its plane as opposed to rotation of normal IS. At macro distances, moving 1mm to the side is significant, but if you're focusing 10m away, 1mm is hardly anything at all.

I'll probably just stick with a 17-40, 70-200f4 combo. I just dislike lenses that extend out like that, even if they have an L/weatherproof attached to it.
So if you have a very small DOF (macro) slight linear (front to back) motion can move you in and out of your DOF. But if you have a 1 ft DOF, slight linear motion will not impact your image quality as you are still in your DOF. But side to side/angular motion will affect your image quality. On target or do you mean something else by linear?
Something else - by linear I mean side-to-side or up-and-down, i.e. movements in the same plane as the sensor. Those have much more impact at close distances. Front-to-back movements (linear, but perpendicular to the sensor) also have a similarly large impact at macro distances, but IS systems do not compensate for those. That sort of compensation would require movement of the focusing group(s) within the lens. In fact, the new Macro AI Servo mode on the 7D and 1DIV attempts to compensate for those front-to-back movements.

Nearly a week with the new lens and enjoying every moment. It is well balanced with my 7D, quiet and fast accurate focus. An ideal lens for travelling with as it means I dont have to lug around the 300mm f2.8 for thos distant shots. Now UK price is down but VAT up in Jan 2011! Posting shots again later this week.
True, but there's a world of difference between a 300mm f2.8 and a 70-300mm f5.6 lens.
GMC, I don't think anyone would disagree with you there. mjl has a point though, in that despite sharing a focal length, these lenses aren't really similar at all in terms of when you would want to use one over the other. it's like saying a sedan is better than a minivan without discussing what you intend on doing with it

Canoga Camera on the west coast shipped mine today. It means they will all be shipping soon from everyone I would think
Canon is losing it, Their prices are out of control on the new lens their coming out now days. 1600 dollars for a 70-300 f/4-5.6L where's the value in that. And no tripod mount! Ok add in another 200 dollars. Who's going to buy that, The pro shooter NO!. Mom and Dad to shoot their little Boy or Girl at the ball game or on stage at the grand opening for some school play NO!. People taking that first trip to Hawaii NO!. The wedding photographer NO! Maybe all the portrait studios NO!. How about the everyday type street shooter, The all around shooter. Well for them it's heavy to carry all day. Ok so that leaves us the wildlife shooters Yes!. But only the ones that have given up on or won't save for the better lens of 400 to 500mm. When all is said and done this lens is 1800 dollars with no tax or shipping. You better know what your doing to spend that kind of money and people that know what there doing wont buy this lens. Its to slow and has almost no bokeh. Unless your shooting up close flowers at 300mm and no one that loves to shoot flowers at a foot away is going to but this lens. Is there a place for this lens in today's market YES! But not at this price. The 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM is 508.00 on Amazon as of today. Canon needs and should have up graded this lens and sale it for 799.00 to 899.00 at 4-5.6 it's a lens for people that just want a littler better color and sharpness and bokeh on the football gridiron. For now anyone that can spend that 2000 dollars is of course going to buy the 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM I or II. As they should. If you have to have 300mm for that one shot add a 1.4 Extender. Get out and have fun.

Manager Jim Leyland of the Detroit Tigers does quite a bit of mixing-and-matching for his starting lineups, and the one for tonight's Game 1 of the ALCS against the New York Yankees is no different:
Austin Jackson, CF
Omar Infante, 2B
Miguel Cabrera, 3B
Prince Fielder*, 1B
Delmon Young, DH
Jhonny Peralta, SS
Andy Dirks*, LF
Avisail Garcia, RF
Gerald Laird, C
This is Leyland's typical lineup against left-handers; he used it in Games 2 and 3 of the division series against the Athletics.
And, a lefthander is who they are facing: Andy Pettitte, who the Tigers did not face during the 2012 regular season. Due to the vagaries of the schedule, Pettitte has not faced the Tigers since April 2008; the only current Tiger who played that day is Cabrera. Peralta should enjoy tonight's matchup; he's 6-for-16 with two walks, a double, a triple and three home runs against the Yankee lefthander, who would tie Dave Stewart for most career wins in the LCS round if he can defeat the Tigers tonight. His opponent will be righthander Doug Fister.

The Price of Life
Eight-year-old Jennifer Haller's brain tumor is killing her. A timely CT scan would likely have saved her, and a new surgery offers hope for a cure, but Julie Haller is crushed when their insurance company refuses to pay for her daughter's operation.
Shortly after Jennifer's diagnosis, Marine Captain Ed Haller loses his leg to a roadside bomb in Iraq. He comes home to rehabilitate while Jennifer wages her own losing battle with cancer and its treatment. Jennifer's death leads the family to Fort Worth lawyer Grant Mercer, whom they hire to sue Jennifer's neurologist.
As Mercer works the case, Julie Haller learns the results of recent tort reform efforts, including a $250,000 limit in medical malpractice cases. She and her husband realize that a quarter-million dollar price tag on a beloved eight-year-old girl is simply inconceivable. They have no interest in the money, focusing instead on their responsibility to honor their daughter by seeking justice for her death.
The murders of a lobbyist in Austin, a state senator on a remote country road, and an insurance executive in New York seem unrelated until Jennifer's doctor is kidnapped. Mercer makes the disturbing connection between the victims and his case, and discovers how far some people will go when the usual avenues of justice are too sharply curtailed.
THE PRICE OF LIFE can be pre-ordered July 1, and will be released September 16, 2010.
THE PRICE OF LIFE can be ordered at Amazon.com, or purchased at Borders or Barnes & Noble. You can also order at www.otherworldpublications.com.

I saw Superbad on Monday night and loved it! This is a raunchy high-school comedy done right. The characters are believable (and you'll immediately think, "Oh, that's just like so-and-so who I knew in high school") with the exception of the hard-drinking, hell-raising cops (hopefully -- if you knew cops like these, I don't want to know!). It's funny and sweet, while being gross and inappropriate, too (just like high school boys should be!).
So many high-school movies are ridiculous, implausible and offensive. Superbad walks the line between ridiculous and hilarious, and I really enjoyed the performances of all the actors involved. Seth (Jonah Hill) is the over-the-top, borderline obnoxious friend who evenly divides his time between making you like and making you crazy; sweet Evan (Michael Cera) is the nice guy that you wish would do something bad; and Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) plays the uber-dork with mouth-open, voice-cracking perfection. Fogell's night with crooked fun-loving cops Michaels and Slater provides much of the outrageous comedy, and you couldn't pick a better kid to get to experience such a thing.
I can't wait to see what comes next from the Judd Apatow camp. With films like 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up as part of his resume, you know good things are to come.
Oh my goodness! I watched it last night too with my bf and we cracked up so much! I don't think I've been in a movie theater before where the audience frequently cracked up as much as they did then.
The creators definitely pegged what a real teenager is like.
You're right - I can't wait to see their next film after Knocked Up and SuperBad.
I definitely related to the story. When I was in high school, the biggest dilemmas were always how my friends and I would get beer for the parties. As Fogel stood in that liquor store, panicked and freaking out, I knew what he was feeling. Until he got punched in the head, of course.

Hi all,
I understand that with WAP-Push via SMS, I could push a Service Indication and Service Loading to a phone (despite the fact that it seems Nokia phones does not support SL), which may contain a URL/link to the actual object I'm dealing with.
I'm wondering is it possible to use an SMS WAP-Push to send, say an image? Or anything (any MIME type for instance) that the phone could understand? Like, is it supposed to work if in the WAP-Push content type I set it to image/jpeg or image/vnd.nok-wallpaper. Will the phone be happy with it?
I know that because of the size of an SMS can be, I might need to use multiple concatenated SMS if I really want to send a big content. Will this work along with WAP-Push?

Case Overview
Earthjustice filed a lawsuit on behalf of Maui community groups Hui o Na Wai 'Eha and Maui Tomorrow Foundation challenging plans by Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (A&B) to build a water treatment plant that would take contested stream flows from several Na Wai 'Eha streams, "the Four Great Waters" of Waihe'e River and Waiehu, 'Iao, and Waikapu streams on Maui, so that A&B can supply the treated water to its development projects and also sell it to Maui County. The proposal would redirect nine million gallons per day of diverted stream flows that A&B has claimed is essential for its Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar (HC&S) plantation and instead use it for A&B's land and water development plans.
The lawsuit, filed in Hawai'i state court on Maui, seeks to invalidate the environmental impact statement (EIS) for A&B's proposed "Wai'ale Treatment Facility" for its failures to examine any impacts on Na Wai 'Eha water resources such as streams and aquifers, explore available alternatives to the project, or disclose any information on the proposed water deal with the county. In short, the EIS is an affront to the law, avoiding any meaningful analysis, or any mention at all, of the most critical issues of public interest and importance surrounding this project, and disregarding public comments on these issues.

EAST PEORIA, Ill. -- For 37 years, Habitat for Humanity has been changing lives in the Peoria area. On Wednesday, they continued that mission by breaking ground on their 100th home.
Volunteers gathered in East Peoria to celebrate the location of Laura Beneventi's first home. Mayor Dave Mingus told Beneventi East Peoria welcomes her with open arms. He says he, along with Habitat, hope the house will be complete in time for Christmas, so it can be decorated for the Festival of Lights. Community volunteers promised it would be.
"That support is what makes Habitat for Humanity so successful," said LeaAnne Schmidgall, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Peoria. "Community support is the fundamentals of Habitat. Volunteers run Habitat. We rely on them and their support will be great for Laura."
"It's been two years in the making," Beneventi said. "It's been an incredible opportunity, I've learned a lot along the way and I've met some really great people and it is exciting to finally see it come full circle."
Beneventi is nearing completion of the 250 'sweat equity hours' required to obtain her new home. She is excited to complete her time during the building process.

The fiancee of a former football player who was fatally shot ten times by a Charlotte police officer after a car accident, has a surprising message.
"I've forgiven him," Cache Heidel said in an interview with NBC News. "I'm not hateful. I understand it. He was scared. It just hurts."
Still, one month after Jonathan Ferrell's death, Heidel is struggling with the pain of what happened that night in mid-September.
"Everything went wrong that evening that could possibly go wrong," she said, choking back tears.
Heidel said Ferrell, her 24-year-old fiance, had dropped off a co-worker and was driving home around 2 a.m. Sept. 14 when he veered off the road, crashed, and ran to a nearby house for help.
A frightened woman thought a burglar was banging on her door and called 911.
"She was afraid," Heidel said when asked about the woman's response. "She had a baby. It was 2 in the morning. She just reacted on fear and that's all that happened that night."
When three officers arrived, police say Ferrell ran towards them. One officer used a Taser, unsuccessfully, but it's still unclear why it didn't connect.
Then another officer, Randall Kerrick, fired 12 shots, hitting the unarmed Farrell ten times.
"It hurt me when I found out he pretty much emptied his clip," Heidel said. "It was out of fear. I do feel like he intended to kill him because he was so scared."
She said she believes the officer had an "unconscious bias" that he didn't realize he had "until that moment."
"I felt like if somebody had just taken a step back and really figured out what was going wrong with him they would have known he didn't cause a threat to anybody," she said.
Kerrick was charged with voluntary manslaughter less than 24 hours after the incident — which was uncharacteristically fast for a police-involved shooting.
His attorney, Michael Greene, declined to comment on Heidel's interview, telling NBC News that his previous statements still summarized the defense team's position.
"We are confident that at the resolution of this case, it will be found that Officer Kerrick's actions were justified," Greene said in September.
The case has sparked debate across the country. The president of the Charlotte-Mecklenberg branch of the NAACP, for one, doesn't think the manslaughter charge is enough.
"When you find out that he shot four times, paused, (then) shot six times, paused, (then) shot two times — that was deliberate murder," said Rev. Kojo Nantambu.
Still, the NAACP and Ferrell's family has praised Charlotte Police Chief Rodney Moore for investigating so quickly.
"This is the only time in my career I've ever heard of a police officer being charged with a crime arising out of a shooting the same day," said Scott MacLatchie, an attorney and police training expert.
Yet some police unions are saying the quick charge will have a chilling effect on officers on patrol.
"Officers throughout this country are going to be concerned that they are going to be arrested when actions are taken that are justified," said Daniel Trelka, the police chief in Waterloo, Iowa. "As such, someone is going to lose their life acting too slowly. "
The North Carolina attorney general is now investigating the case, but Chris Chestnut, the attorney representing Ferrell's family, said he also plans to file a civil lawsuit.
"This is completely unreasonable," Chestnut said. "It's demonstrative of a lack of training. It is frightening — this unconscious bias that leads to 12 shots at an innocent, unarmed victim."
Ferrell's family also wants the police dashcam video to be released.
Meanwhile, Heidel is still without her 'Sweets.'
"I always called him 'Sweets' because he was the sweetest person I ever met," Heidel said.
They had been engaged for six years after meeting during their junior year of high school. A few years later, he proposed. But they endured a long-distance relationship. He played football for Florida A&M University, but she was in graduate school in Winston-Salem, N.C.
They had recently moved to Charlotte to be together. She was an accountant. He was working two jobs to finish school. He wanted to build engines.
Heidel smiles when she remembers the moment she fell for him. They were driving home from a high school football game. He was pumping gas when he saw a woman digging through the trash. While Heidel waited in the car, she said she saw Ferrell take the woman inside the gas station and bought her food.
"He was someone who felt bad walking past the homeless person on the street," Heidel says.
But often, she speaks of him the present tense.
"He's my best friend."

I was just getting ready to cross under the Rengstorf overpass this morning at around 10:45. I was in the center lane and something caught my attention, looked up and saw the body fall the last 10-20 feet and land around 10 feet from my car. Thank God my granddaughter's were watching a video and did not see this. Simply horrifying and the fact that traffic was moving very slow just made the incident play out in slow motion. I will never forget that site.

By Julie Huss
---- — LONDONDERRY — The waiting is over for anyone seeking updated information on the Woodmont Commons project.
Proponents of the 634-acre Woodmont Commons development plan appeared before the Planning Board March 27 after numerous public hearing delays, postponements and continuations. The plan application was officially approved in October.
Representatives said they are ready to jump back into the process to get Woodmont moving forward.
The mammoth project would bring thousands of homes, retail spaces, offices and medical facilities tot an area off Pillsbury and Gilcreast roads.
Residents have waited months to weigh in on the development plan, but delay has followed delay.
The project is proposed by Michael Kettenbach and Pillsbury Realty Development. Pillsbury purchased the Woodmont Orchards property two years ago for $7 million.
The project, as proposed, would be completed in phases over 20 years.
All parties involved say the project is complicated and will take time to review.
The vision to create Woodmont began in 1997 when Londonderry's master plan included the possibility of creating a new village concept in town, combining businesses, streetscapes, gardens, community centers, hotels and homes.
In the years to follow, the town passed its Planned Urban Development ordinance, outlining regulations for new developments that are separate from current land use rules. Woodmont Commons is the first project to use the PUD ordinance.
A five-day design charrette took place in June 2010. That included state, regional and local officials, all gathering to discuss what Woodmont's development might mean for the town.
Months of meetings followed between planners and the project developers.
Planned public hearings were delayed as attorneys, developers and other consultants worked to get information updated and in order prior to having more public input at last week's hearing.
Residents have had many concerns about Woodmont, mostly dealing with traffic impact and how Londonderry's rural character will be preserved.
Anne Chiampa has been outspoken about Woodmont.
"I hope the developers add a little more of Londonderry in it," she said. "I hope there is a melding of Londonderry's character and modern conveniences they are planning for residents in the area. I'm looking forward to seeing what ends up coming here."
Deb Nowicki told planning officials she hoped Woodmont would offer a happy medium and integrate modern with traditional.
"Londonderry is a lot of farms and conservation land," she said. "My concerns are about old Londonderry and the new Londonderry."
Planning Board Chairman Arthur Rugg said it's finally time to get more Woodmont questions answered.
"We're getting into the meat of the Woodmont stuff with quite a few details," Rugg said.
The town website offers a detailed Woodmont Commons PUD page for anyone wishing to learn more about the project. The page is located on the town site through the Planning Board page at londonderrynh.org. It lists all project plans, images and other information.
Planning Board members will continue Woodmont discussions at their meeting April 10 at 7 p.m. in Moose Hill Council Chambers at the town complex.

The sounds of the 31st annual Mal's St. Paddy's Parade kicked off with the Marching MALfunction and Second Line Stomp on Friday evening. A large group walked from the King Edward Hotel to Hal and Mal's.
While the party started early for some, businesses were busy preparing for Saturday's crowd.
After months of planning, a covered stage will be in front of Hal and Mal's along with food vendors.
They'll have music playing most of Saturday, including headliner "Alabama Shakes."
"We've not done a Paddy's Day this big. We're looking forward to the day. We're looking forward to the show. Everybody's super excited," said Hal and Mal's General Manager Jane Halbert Jones.
Fenian's shut down it's parking lot to prepare for its own party, with brunch and bands beginning at 9 a.m.
View a map of the route and See a complete list of events.
The pub says the St. Paddy's Parade brings in a lot of green on its busiest day of the year.
"We pretty much do about a week's worth of revenue in one day. So, for us this is like our 53rd week of the year. So, this is very important week. Especially with this construction going on. We've kind of had some down times because of intersections being blocked and stuff. So we are really putting our all our eggs in the basket on this weekend," said Fenian's General Manager T Francis.
The more than 70,000 people expected at the parade will have an estimated $6.4 million economic impact on the city.
The St. Paddy's Parade founder, Malcolm White, says the parade is unique showcase of Jackson and it's culture. He says the city has made the parade its own and it's one you will not find anywhere else, with a mix of Mardi Gras and St. Patrick's Day.
"It's inclusive for everyone. You don't have to be in a club. You don't have to be born into royalty or have money to join. It's the people's parade and anybody and everybody who's interested can join in," said White.
"Expect fun, good vibes, good friends, good people, just craziness to happen," explained Hal and Mal's volunteer Brandi Lee.
"It's like the one day of the year you feel like you're in a major metropolis. So everybody comes out," said Francis about the parade's popularity.

Effects of Disorder on the Electronic Structure of Functional MaterialsTom Berlijn, Brookhaven National Laboratory,
Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences - Nanomaterials Theory Institute Seminar
10:00 AM — 11:00 AM, Joint Institute for Computational Sciences (JICS) Auditorium, Building 5100, Room 128
Contact: Bobby Sumpter (firstname.lastname@example.com), 865.574.4973
AbstractDoping is one of the most powerful ways to tune the properties of functional materials such as thermoelectrics, photovoltaics and superconductors. Besides carriers and chemical pressure, the dopants insert disorder into the materials. In this talk I will present two case studies of doped Fe based superconductors: Fe vacancies in KxFeySe2 [1] and Ru substitutions in Ba(Fe1-xRux)2As2 [2]. With the use of a recently developed first principles method [3], non-trivial disorder effects are found that are not only interesting scientifically, but also have potential implications for materials technology. Open questions for further research will be discussed.

|Paulding County residents tough aftermath of powerful storm
|Sunday, July 01, 2012 2:53 PM
Note: For photos of damage and recovery efforts in the Payne area, see our Facebook page
By JIM LANGHAM • Progress Feature Writer
Friday afternoon's powerful storm that put the county in darkness and sent area residents scrambling for batteries and generators carried wind gusts at hurricane strength according to measurements at the Paulding County Emergency Management office, says EMA director Randy Shaffer.
Shaffer said that just before 3 p.m., he observed a gust of 84 miles per hour at his Paulding County Fairgrounds office. Officials in Payne, which seemingly took the brunt of the onslaught, estimated gusts of 90 miles per hour in that community while observers at Fort Wayne International Airport clocked a gust of 91 miles per hour.
The storm, which only lasted about 15 minutes, damaged and downed hundreds of county trees, ripped off power lines and selectively caused various degrees of structural damage.
On Saturday, Shaffer estimated that 97.5 percent of the county was without power.
"The two major power providers, American Electric Power and Paulding Putnam Coop, stated that it may be three to five days before all customers have their power restored," Shaffer said. "We are advising residents on home oxygen therapy to contact their oxygen provider if they need additional oxygen."
Shaffer said that if the provider cannot be contacted, they may call the Paulding County EMA at 419-399-3500 for non-emergency oxygen needs. If they have an immediate need, they shall call 911.
Shaffer cautioned that those using generators for power should be aware that they can cause carbon monoxide.
"They should never be allowed to run inside of houses or garages and those using them should make sure that the generator is properly installed to prevent back feeding the power lines," said Shaffer.
Shaffer said that the storm first hit in Fort Wayne and caused massive damage to power lines and trees. Then, as it continued through eastern Allen County, it seemingly strengthened more and rotation, which caused the winds to increase' became characteristic . As it approached the Payne area, Shaffer had reports from spotters near the golf course southwest of Payne that there appeared to be a funnel in the area of the course. They then confirmed a funnel aloft as the storm roared into the Payne area and overspread the county.
Shaffer immediately called officials at the National Weather Service in North Webster and reported the observation. Within seconds, they issued a tornado warning for the county.
In Payne, trees toppled, lines were brought down, siding and roofing was pulled from structures and practically ever street in town was blocked or affected. Sirens screamed as officials responded to various emergency situations but fortunately, said Payne fire chief Jamie Mansfield, there were no serious injuries.
Within a short time, Mansfield in conference with Payne Mayor Terry Smith, set up an emergency shelter at the Payne Fire Department, intended to serve emergency situations and those overcome by heat and other emergencies caused by lack of power. The shelter was to remain open around the clock until restoration of electricity.
In addition, Smith conferred with Shaffer, and then ordered a large generator from a firm in Indianapolis to be delivered to the Payne water plant in order to guarantee unbroken water service to the community.
Later on Saturday, Smith met with Tim Yenser of the Payne Marathon and agreed to order another generator to allow that business to go on line to provide gas and supplies for the community. At 6:45 p.m. on Saturday, the generator was delivered and the minimart was opened. In addition, officials also ordered a large delivery of ice from a firm in Fulton County. It arrived late Saturday evening for those needing it to help preserve their refrigerated needs.
In Van Wert County, EMA director Rick McCoy reported a similar situation and said that the entire massive total damage countywide could exceed that of the Nov. 10, 2002 tornado that passed through his county.
McCoy said he had been in touch with officials at the National Weather Service in North Webster who told him that the storm was a classic "rim of fire" storm that forms along the fringes of a massive heat wave and travels sometimes for hundreds of miles, churning a path of destruction. Friday's storm, weather officials said, originated in Illinois and held together continally to Washington, D.C.
"We had that 106 degree reading on Thursday. The core of that heat wave shifted just far enough south on Friday to put us in that vulnerable area," said McCoy. "That could repeat itself at any time over the next few days, but it is so hard to predict. It's quite a price to pay for rain."
In other parts of Paulding County, 20 light poles and line was felled along Ohio 49 between Payne and Antwerp. Shaffer also noted that a semi caught up in a gust of wind rolled off the road near the intersection of Roads 60 and 61. Materials from a fallen building covered Ohio 500 and fields about five miles southwest of Paulding. Just west of Paulding, there was considerable damage to a pole building and another pole building was destroyed in rural area about two miles west of Payne.
All communities in the county are involved in a widespread cleanup of streets and properties.
"We are continuing to work with local EMA, hospital officials and other safety personnel to guarantee the protection and safety of residents of Paulding County," said Shaffer.

If the SEC doesn't want the West Virginia Mountaineers, then it has only a few moves still available that would bring it to an even 14 teams. Option No. 1 for that spot has appeared to be the Missouri Tigers. Tuesday afternoon saw a small rush of reports that Mizzou is indeed in line to join the SEC.
Mike DeArmond of the KC Star reported Missouri has an offer from the SEC, and that the SEC is fine with waiting on the Big 12 to fall apart. That story cites a Tigers booster as one of its primary sources, which might not inspire 100 percent confidence.
Also, PowerMizzou.com's Gabe DeArmond reported shortly before that "the SEC wants Mizzou as No. 14, but is willing to wait on the implosion of the Big 12 Conference." Yes, the two DeArmonds are related.
Since the Big 12 could crumble any minute now via the exits of the Oklahoma Sooners, Texas Longhorns and more, Missouri could be making moves to join the SEC soon.
For more on Mizzou, visit excellent Missouri Tigers blog Rock M Nation, along with SEC blog Team Speed Kills.

Leki Carbonlite Aergon Antishock

Love these poles. I've had them for just a short while…
Price Paid: $159.95
Love these poles. I've had them for just a short while and recently used them on a 5-day outing. That was the first time I've hiked with carbon fiber poles and they are very light. So light that it took some getting used to. They weigh just a few ounces less than the poles I had been using but those few ounces count a lot towards the pole's swing weight. Although light, they are very sturdy. It seems to me that they are more rigid than my old titanium-aluminum alloy poles and flex less which is more to my liking.
The new SAS-L anti-shock system is also better than the previous SAS system. The new system is better at dampening the feedback (vibration) that is inherent to poles with anti-shock systems. The new system almost completely eliminates the feedback and I didn't really notice it while hiking.
The Aergon grips are comfortable and didn't cause any fatigue in my hands. The new strap adjustment system is easy to use although I think the previous adjustment system (with the screw on top) was better at fine tuning the fit.
The locking system hasn't changed so you can expect the same reliability. As long as you keep the poles clean and dry and replace the locking expanders periodically there shouldn't be any problems with the poles collapsing. However, you can't use the Leki cleaning kit with the steel brushes. If you do you will shred the carbon fibers which is not a good thing. You should use the loop ended attachment that comes with the cleaning kit to get a piece of cloth all the way into the pole sections so you can clean them out without damaging the carbon fiber.
I recently retired my old trekking poles and the Leki Cabonlite Aergon Antishock poles are an excellent replacement.

I just adore this fragrance. I don't know how I would even begin to describe what notes it has, but it's something I find very unique.
It lasts for a ridiculous long time on me. I'm not complaining because I hate touch ups.
I am about to have to repurchase this, and I won't have to second guess my decision!

This is quite possibly the worst Jean Paul Gaultier perfume I have ever come across. Which isn't easy to say considering he does an excellent job. He knows how to make perfumes that are sexy and fresh at the same time. This one really does smell like nail polish remover. I wish I knew which note is that causes this because it is beginning to become familiar in many perfumes. Seriously. What is it? Something to preserve its freshness, I don't know. Anyways, I wish I could split this one into many little facets for you. But I can't. My nose can't get past the new gym/nail polish scent. It smelled soft and fresh for one second and then this blasphemy came along. I had to return it. However, I've got to say the campaign looked fabulous. Agyness Deyn (I think that's the model's na,e) looked quite edgy in it. She looked fun and stylish and that is what I expected from this. Not eau de Nail Salon (I love my NPs btw, just don't like smelling like one).

I normally dont like perfumes but this definitely is my fav!I actually got a small sample while shopping @ Macy's.I tried it on and my bf loved the smell on me so I ended up gettin a large bottle lol
The smell is unique to me..cant really compare it to a scent defnitely not rootbeer like i read in someone's review though.If i had to categorize it it'ld be amongst the citrus-y slightly flower-y...scents.
I recommend this for girls that prefer body sprays over perfumes.

This orange-blossom floral fragrance is a bit too sweet for me, but a spritz or two in the morning dries down nicely by mid-day. I love the cute bottle and lasting power, but am not a big enough fan of the fragrance itself to buy again.

Somewhat feeble lemon cupcake with somewhat bitter vinyl-neroli icing. Not really sweet, thankfully, and wearable, but not compelling in any way. A very young crowd may find it witty. Not heinous, but no more than competent. Lovely bottle!

I have tried to change the color of ALL lines I found to background color.
Where there is a "Display lines" I have removed the "x".
Still I can't get rid ofthe lines the the menus and lists. How do I do that?
One more. In the "Notepad" there is no special item for the horizontal lines.
Is there a way to remove them?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- One day, University of Louisville football fans were doing BCS algebra, trying to figure where their Top 10 football team would fall once all the numbers were crunched in the first BCS ratings of the season.The next, it didn't matter, because the U of L defense flunked geometry.For the Cardinals, their dream of an unbeaten season was gone in about 20 minutes, the time it took Central Florida to score 31 points in a 38-35 upset victory.U of L defensive coordinator Vance Bedford said there was no fancy explanation for the defensive meltdown. It came down to angles and aggression. His defenders didn't tackle well, and they didn't rely on each other. They overpursued plays, took bad angles, and when UCF cut back, they were out of position to stop it.It's a simple thing."A fundamental thing," Bedford said. "You hope they teach it in junior high and high school, and we teach it in college."Next time a coach talks about fundamentals and your eyes start to glaze over, remember Central Florida. It can be a costly lesson.Now, the question is whether the Cardinals can ace Psychology.In looking at this season, it was assumed by most that by now U of L would be playing for a Top 5 national ranking, a BCS bowl opportunity at the least, and an unbeaten season, if not a chance at the BCS championship game, at the most. The psychology, in any event, takes care of itself in those situations. The expectations bring pressure, yes, but it's a good kind of pressure.Now, the Cardinals face a different situation. They need to keep winning to maintain a chance at a BCS bowl -- which remains a real possibility. But they now need help. And from a psychological standpoint, they probably don't have much of an edge on some former Big East (and Conference USA) rivals who will face them for the last time, and who would love nothing better than to beat them on the way out of the American Athletic Conference door.South Florida is first in line. USF is made up mostly of Florida athletes who, like Central Florida, have watched U of L's Florida natives get all the press. And they won't get another shot at the Cards for a long time. This is it.USF has the added incentive that today's noon kickoff might be as close to a bowl game as the Bulls get. Beating Louisville, in fact, could turn the narrative on their first season under head coach Willie Taggart just a bit.For the Cardinals, the theme this week has been veteran resilience. They've been through the disappointing fall from the unbeaten ranks, but let one loss become two a year ago after falling to Syracuse, then giving up a loss to Connecticut at home. Strong said he watched his team closely when he brought players back together on the Sunday after losing to UCF."Well you could just tell after the team meeting and I stood over there talking with them and you can see it. You have a veteran team now and they take it personal and when you show them the tape. They really take it personal," Strong said. "Which is good. That's what you really want, because now you see a program turning. There used to be a time where they take a loss and it was all farts and giggles, but it's no longer like that."How's it going to be? That's what nobody knows about this U of L football team. Its fan base seems to be able to sense when it is going through the motions sometimes better than its coaching staff does -- or is willing to admit.Today, at South Florida, we find out whether U of L is going to recharge and get better, or whether it will play out the string like a team that has little left to play for.Junior quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has always been the most important player on the field. He'll be even more important the rest of this season. He may need to take a more vocal, aggressive leadership role. It'll be his job to rally teammates. He won't win the Heisman Trophy, but he's still one of the top quarterbacks in the nation, and a likely high first-round draft pick.If this team feels a sense of loss after Central Florida, it's not getting that idea from Strong."We were never going to get where we need to get because of our schedule," Strong said. ". . . We still have five games to play. That's why I tell them all the time it's so important to go game by game and it's so important that you worry about the task at hand and don't worry about what everyone else says. You have to focus on who you're playing."It's pretty simple. Will the Cardinals allow one bad grade in geometry to drag down its mark in psychology?It's not the kind of test they wanted to be taking. But they have to pass this if they want to pick up the pieces.Copyright 2013 WDRB News. All Rights Reserved.

Their is saying that goes back a long ways. The higher the yield the higher the risk. In other words greed sets in, a person should know better or run a background check on the investment company. Seniors do your homework lot of scams going on. I am glad the culprits were caught. Hope they recover their investments.

Compelling article! It inspired me to research murder rates because I thought that surely Flint couldn't be as bad as you're claiming. According to the internet, San Pedro Sula, Honduras is the murder capital of the world, with more than three intentional homicides per day. Sadly, St. Louis, Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland and New Orleans are the U.S. representatives on the world's Top 50 Violent Cities list. And sure enough, there sat Flint on top within its own population sub-category. Interestingly, none of top 50 cities was in Europe and only one was in Asia. It's enough to make upstanding citizens lose heart!

The seniors were carried off of Spaulding Field yesterday, their last practice of their careers. The last four (and five) years have been rough and there have been more losses than we would like, but these seniors have been good representatives of the university and earned that carrying off of the field. Hopefully they're sent out with a win tomorrow too.

Are Jobs on Their Way to Becoming Obsolete? And Is That a Good Thing?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Are jobs obsolete?
Media theorist and author of Life, Inc.: How the World Became a Corporation and How to Take it Back Douglas Rushkoff ruffled some feathers this week when he dared, at CNN.com of all places, to ask that question. It seemed, perhaps, gloriously insensitive to the plight of unemployed workers, of union workers at the U.S. Postal Service, who are struggling like so many others to stay afloat in an uncertain economy while they're demonized in the press as greedy for wanting a decent job.
Yet Rushkoff also raises points worth considering, particularly for those of us trying to articulate, in the wake of massive failures of the economic system we've lived our whole lives with, some sort of alternative to the cycle of boom, bust, bailout.
He argues that perhaps we're going about it backward when we call for jobs, that maybe it's not a bad thing that technology is replacing workers, and points out that actually, we do produce enough food and "stuff" to support the country and even the world—that, in fact, we produce too much "stuff."
He alternately harkens back to a past before jobs, when many people worked for themselves on a subsistence level, and forward to a future where we are all busy making games and books and communicating with one another from behind computer screens, with the hours we have to work dwindling.
It's an argument that recalls others being made today, as the economic crisis collides with the awareness of climate change, as people realize that developed-world lifestyles are unsustainable and perhaps there's a better way to do things.
It's utopian, of course, and there are plenty of problems with it. Rushkoff isn't the only one thinking this way— Jeff Jarvis, another media thinker and advocate for digital technology, argues in a post called "The jobless future" that "Our new economy is shrinking because technology leads to efficiency over growth."
Sara Horowitz, founder and CEO of the Freelancers Union, points out in an interview that for many the jobless future has been here for years. "On the one hand what you see is it's happening across the economy, but you could argue that for poorer workers this is the way it's been anyway. It's not like the bottom quintile people had full-time jobs with benefits because then they wouldn't be poor." As more and more workers find themselves cobbling together gigs and part-time work in order to get by, she says, "This is part of the middle-class decline, that this is happening to people for whom getting a college degree meant you could have a sustainable economic future."
Yet Rushkoff argues that we have more than enough to go around:
"[W]e are attempting to use the logic of a scarce marketplace to negotiate things that are actually in abundance. What we lack is not employment, but a way of fairly distributing the bounty we have generated through our technologies, and a way of creating meaning in a world that has already produced far too much stuff."
This is the question, then: How do we solve this problem?
The Jobs We Still Have
While Rushkoff rightly points out that many jobs have been lost to technological advances, whether it's robots in a factory or self-checkout machines at the grocery store, he does not mention that in the US we lost many jobs as well to outsourcing, as global corporations picked up and moved across the world in search of cheaper labor and fewer regulations on how they treat their workers.

I figured Broner vs. Guerrero at 147lbs. Was a bit unrealistic at this point though he (Broner) might claim otherwise. Broner even hinted at a clash with Demarco via twitter hoping that he would win the fight with Molina Jr., and now that ended quick, Dela Hoya threw out his own hint posting on his account "Broner vs. Demarco"
Broner SHOULD murder this dude, but I like the match. Would have loved the Guerrero fight more but looks like we'll have 2 wait for that 1.
I guess now Guerrero might go back to calling out Mayweather for the umf-teenth time.

demarco is slow and we just saw how he struggle with linares before he got him late. he's tailor made for broner. that fight doesn't interest me.
guerrero on the other hand has fast and heavy hands. he's a much better match up for broner. broner was the one talking shit to begin with....let's see him back it up.
...he said send me the contract.. I don't understand where he's not backing it up. This dude is over here saying hes worthy of a shot at Floyd and he's worried about a guy who hasn't fought anyone and is two divisions under him?
he fought selcuk for the mandatory spot for the wbc. i have no problem with him calling out the man who holds the wbc title when he just won the mandatory position against an undefeated fighter two divisions above what he normally fights at.
broner was the one talking shit. he calls broner on it...broner is the one that needs to back it up. while i would thoroughly enjoy watching guerrero/broner....i respect guerrero more, because 1. he actually put himself in the mandatory position to face floyd after he called him out....and 2. he has the balls to actually call him out in the first place.
broner made himself floyds gatekeeper? he wasn't even in the conversation til he started talking shit. guerrero let it be known that he'll fight broner...broner needs to step up and back up his words or stfu and get out the way. it's that simple.
i have zero problem with fighters calling each other out. that's what the sport is about. remember lacy calling out calzaghe? or floyd calling out dlh....or dawson calling out ward....it's what makes the boxing world go round. plenty fighters have called out floyd....he's answered very few. guerrero is a worthy opponent.
I'm pretty sure every professional boxer wants Floyd it doesn't take balls. It takes two brain cells a bank account and bills to pay to see that an ass kicking or a complete schooling by Floyd could have you paid for life especially in a little place like gilroy lol. Btw, how was aydin a mandatory? I don't think he had ever even fought in the US or against any contender. These sanctions are full of shit
How about focusing on maybe Alexander Bailey, berto, ortiz, Bradley, shit even kell brook!
You say your as good as you are, prove it. You know Floyd ain't fighting your ass because your some bs mandatory lol he'd rather drop the belt and not have to pay the fee for his next fight

Cadet Garden Implements
Disk harrow from a 2 wheeled garden tractor. One additional bladed added to each section. Had to home make and replace bearings.
Initially tried to work the garden using the original 6 blade disk harrow. Found out that it worked great going in a straight line. Turning - not so good.
Peg toothed harrow cut down to fit behind a garden tractor. Back bar was completely rusted out.

CATEGORIES MoviesThe birds of "Rio" are flocking together once again -- and this time, they're shaking their tail feathers.
A new teaser trailer for "Rio 2," the follow-up to the hit animated movie, features the colorful macaws, toucans, and cockatoos busting a move to joyful, drum-heavy music.
The brief teaser doesn't show any footage from the sequel, in which Jewel (Anne Hathaway) and Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) take their three kids away from the titular city and to the Amazon to learn how to live like real birds. But can these city avians fly with their new wild neighbors?
Jamie Foxx, Tracy Morgan, will.i.am, and George Lopez will all reprise their characters from the original movie, with Andy Garcia, Bruno Mars, and Kristin Chenoweth joining as new Amazonian birds.
"Rio 2" is set to fly into theaters April 11, 2014.

An unusual art lovers book that explores the many magical aspects of water in a collection of poetical and philosophical writings, paintings and sculpture by Francesca Profili.
What do you know about water? You may think there isn't much to know about such a common, simple thing as water, yet scientists tell us we have yet to really understand its properties. Water is an enigmatic life-sustaining substance full of secrets and paradoxes. Transparent yet visible, over the centuries it seeped into mythical, philosophical and religious imagery as well as our common figures of speech.
This fascinating and unusual book proposes a different way to understand the multi-faceted mystery of water. Its author, Francesca Profili, is an artist who sculpts masks and paints images on them to express the many faces of reality: the things that are less apparent, concealed, masked.
In On the Face of the Waters, her truly unique artwork and inspiring, informative, at times exquisitely poetic text combine to explore the many aspects of water in a profoundly moving way. After diving into Profili's spellbinding world, you will surface with an entirely new perception and appreciation of the "stuff of life."

Conditions in Watkins Glen, NY: Click here for Current Weather Conditions – Look at Doppler Radar | Mobile Friendly Site | Mobile Radar
There has been only a small timing adjustment to the overall forecast this weekend, and it equals drier weather on Saturday. But Sunday still remains wet. Here's a look at the same models I showed on Friday updated Saturday morning.
The forecast continues to call for two days of soaking rain from from Sunday into Monday. There is still a chance of a few isolated to scattered showers and even a thunderstorm late in the day Saturday, but my gut feeling is that this activity holds off until after the Nationwide race.
Saturday night, the rain arrives and it continues through Sunday into Monday. Obviously this doesn't bode well for Sunday's activities. Model probabilities for rain continue to range from 80-to-100 percent for both Sunday and Monday.
Bottom line: It doesn't look good for racing on Sunday. I am stopping short of calling this a washout, but that is definitely the direction I am leaning.
As a fan of the sport, I hope I am wrong. Yes, it is possible that my forecast is wrong, but the likelihood and the data don't support that outcome.
As I said yesterday, I can't and won't tell a fan who has spent money on hotels and tickets whether or not they should or shouldn't go to a race. All I can do is give you my professional opinion on the weather and suggest you look at other sources like the local media from Rochester to Syracuse.
I trust these local sources over some of the main weather websites out there, as many of these forecasts are done by people interpreting the data like I do versus just a computer model printout. Arm yourself with all the information you can find, then make your decision.
9:30 a.m EDT
Nationwide Qualifying – Partly sunny - temp: 67
11:30 a.m EDT
Sprint Cup Qualifying – Partly sunny - temp: 77
2:00 p.m EDT
Nationwide Race – Partly sunny, possible scattered showers late in the race - temp: 84
1:00 p.m EDT
Sprint Cup Race – Cloudy with steady rain and possible thunderstorms - temp: 74
MONDAY (Possible reschedule date):
12:00 p.m EDT
Sprint Cup Race – Likely showers and possible storms - temp: 73

La Vera Pizza Napoletana
Of course, there's no better place to enjoy pizza than Naples, home of "la vera pizza napoletana" (the real Neapolitan pizza). It's difficult to resist the warm, enticing aroma of a perfect pizza with a crisp crust topped with creamy mozzarella and juicy tomatoes, the kind made by a multitude of neighborhood establishments. In fact, there's even an trade organization, the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, that has established rules and regulations regarding the ingredients, preparation, and cooking methods associated with pizza, and is dedicated to upholding and preserving pizza-making traditions. The association organizes an annual event called the Pizzafest to promote "la verace pizza napoletana artigianale."
Scioglilingua Pizzesca
One of the most effective methods for learning Italian (or any foreign language) is to focus on your interests—whether it be soccer (il calcio), music (bel canto opera), or food (la cucina italiana), you're more likely to retain vocabulary words and verbs associated with the given topic. For those crazy for pizza, here's a scioglilingua (tongue twister) featuring the word pizza and similar terms:
"Nel pozzo di Santa Pazzia protettrice dei pazzi, c'è una pazza che lava una pezza. Arriva un pazzo, con un pezzo di pizza e chiede alla pazza se ne vuole un pezzo. La pazza rifiuta. Il pazzo s'infuria, e butta la pazza, la pezza, la pizza nel pozzo di Santa Pazzia, protettrice dei pazzi."
Italian Vocabulary List: Pizza
- aglio—garlic
- basilico—basil
- calzone—flat pizza folded in half with the topping sealed inside
- cornicione—outer edge of the pizza crust
- forno a legna—wood-burning stove
- lievito—yeast
- mozzarella di bufala—fresh, tasty cheese made from the milk of water buffaloes
- oliera—olive oil cruet; In Neapolitan dialect, agliara (and the name of several pizzerias)
- origano—oregano
- pala di legno—wooden paddle (pizza peel)
- parruozzo—double-baked filled pizza "sandwich"
- pizza a fazzoletto—so-called when a slice is folded like a pocket handkerchief to be eaten on the go; also referred to as pizza al portafoglio (pizza "wallet style")
- pizzaiolo—pizza maker
- pomodori a pendolo—hanging tomatoes (small cherry tomatoes on a vine)
- sale marino—sea salt
- spianatoia—large wooden board used specifically for dough and pasta (also called a tavolino)
