I can honestly say I personally haven't experienced worse lag than in Crysis 2, which when I played it was quite laggy. In comparison, Halo 4 has, in my personal experience, been very good except on 2 occasions, 1 of which the team I was on agreed was most likely due to network manipulation by that player. The other was some slight lag for a brief period.
However, I appreciate it won't be the same for everyone

There's a growing national consensus that, as Attorney General Eric Holder stated in August, "too many Americans go to too many prisons for far too long, and for no truly good law enforcement reason." Despite the heavy toll that mass incarceration exacts every day and in countless ways on many American communities the topic attracts remarkably little consistent coverage in the mainstream media.

As more people put their lives on the line today to fight for the hunger strikers' five core demands – still unmet by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation – the need for this kind of artwork feels critical. Noah succeeds in creating visually impactful and beautiful work that also activates audiences to learn about human rights abuses and to get involved.

This year marks the 11th Annual Community Giveback – an event where bikes, toys and gifts will be given to children; but they are not the average kids. Eleven years ago a group of formerly incarcerated people, with the help of prisoners, started to give away bikes to the children of incarcerated parents.

I have 2 questions on Programmers:
I'm fairly certain I have the 2nd question in the right place. However, as you can see from the comment on the first question, there is concern that it should be on SO.
Well, I was pretty certain that, because I am not including any code, nor expect code in an answer, the question is on the right site.
It makes no difference to me which site the question is on. I am trying to read through FAQs and other questions to get a clear understanding of how I can consistently post to the correct site. Is there a specific link that gives me guidelines comparing what should be on SO vs. Programmers?

Any chance Colletti and Reagins can come up with a deal? Got any ideas? See poll. Who do we want/need in return? LaRoche for 3b? Loney/Kemp/Ethier for OF?
How about Iztu for LaRoche?
[Side note...Angels activated Bootcheck today and subsequently outrighted him to SLC. This leaves us with 39 on the 40 man roster. Room for a trade or ??? See game notes. ]
Link to story...portion below...
The loss of Rafael Furcal to back surgery this week might lead Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti to a trade involving at least one of his prized young core players.
"We're more open-minded to who we may have to move than we were in the past," Colletti said Friday.
That is a shift in philosophy for Colletti, who has refused to part with the club's top prospects since he took over after the 2005 season, filling most holes with expensive free-agent signings.
Colletti wouldn't name names. But while All-Star catcher Russell Martin is presumed to be untouchable, Colletti's comments certainly put in play other young players like Matt Kemp, James Loney, Andre Ethier and Andy LaRoche, as well as a possible veteran such as Friday starter Derek Lowe, who is likely to leave as a free agent after the season anyway.

Disney's Wreck-It Ralph is not about video games. It doesn't stop to explain how video games work, or what they mean to those who play them. What it does is warm your heart with at story of belonging, and what it means to be good and bad.
The story focuses on Ralph, the villain of the imaginary game Fix-It Felix Jr. We join Ralph on the 30th anniversary of his game, when a life of being eschewed by the other residents finally becomes too much. Crashing an anniversary party, he gets a challenge: If he can win a medal, he'll be able to move out of the dump and into the penthouse. The rest of the movie follows Ralph's pursuit of this dream, but along the way he unleashes something bigger than he could have imagined; and when things turn south for the entire arcade, it falls to Ralph to fix it.
Though the cast lacks blockbuster stars — Jane Lynch (Calhoun) excepted — the actors all have plenty of experience behind them, and their performances here show it. John C. Reilly in particular, as the titular Ralph, perfectly captures his easy-going, wisecracking personality, letting you relate to Ralph instantly.
Wreck-It Ralph is a children's movie, but it is a masterpiece nonetheless. Video games are used as a frame for the story, and though those who game as a hobby will catch many great nods and winks, they are ultimately superfluous. The story of Ralph and Vanellope is the core. Although every problem is solved in the end, the journey there will touch you. The movie is nothing short of the next generation's Toy Story , and I can give it no greater compliment than that.

GEORGETOWN, SC (WMBF) - Three people are facing charges for metal theft after deputies noticed a suspicious car during a property check at a Georgetown County business.
Those deputies with the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office dropped by Stein, Inc on Highmarket Street for a property check on Wednesday, April 10 because there had been recent thefts in the area. They checked the registration for a suspicious vehicle they noticed, and that's when three people walked from behind a locked fence.
Those three suspects - 44-year-old Donald Ray Poston, Jr., 31-year-old Jeffrey Lyle Dukes and 31-year-old Jennifer Lynn Perkins of Georgetown - were separated and interviewed. Deputies then discovered they came to Stein, Inc. to steal metal, and matched the items in the vehicle to items missing from behind the locked fence.
They were each taken into custody and charged with trespassing and petit larceny. All three are being held in the Georgetown County Detention Center pending a bond hearing.

Oscar's on 75th opened in June, and the buzz was about its ridiculously low prices. The prices were so low, in fact, it was a little suspicious. How can a sit-down, table-service kind of place survive charging $4.95 for entrees?
The menu was limited, and the prices so low, it seemed best to wait awhile before passing judgment.
Now, a couple of months later, the menu is bigger, and the prices have risen. Still very reasonable — nothing is more than $10 — but believable. If the pricing strategy was an effort to get people to come in and make Oscar's their hangout, it may be working. On our visits, there were decent crowds and live music. The dining rooms have a classy feel. In one there is a piano and big wooden bar; the other is a little quieter. The work of local artists hangs on the walls.
So in this genteel setting, what are the expectations for a pork chop with black beans and rice that now lists for $6.95? For that, it would be easy to accept something that was merely satisfactory. The problem is, it really wasn't. It was a decent enough looking piece of meat, but was so overly salted that it seemed inadvisable to finish it. And there was no relief in the beans, as they were too salty, too, and packed with raw garlic of which a little goes a long way.
It was easy to think that maybe there was someone with too heavy a hand on the salt in the kitchen, but that thought went away when we tasted the grilled chicken with yellow rice and vegetables ($6.95), which seemed to have absolutely no seasoning at all. Same with a seafood pasta special ($9.95). Even the brininess of the natural habitat of the seafood seemed removed.
Swings even happened within one dish. The shrimp scampi with angel hair ($7.95) had a half-dozen well-cooked shrimp. But they and the pasta were sitting on top of the oil-based sauce, which meant that the bottom layer of pasta soaked up the sauce, and the rest of the pile was left without flavor. Some of the shrimp had wild bursts of pepper, and some none.
The actual cooking of all the components seemed fine — except for some dry tilapia in the fish tacos ($6.95) — so there is reason to hope that straightening out seasoning issues could turn everything around here. And it's easy: Take half the salt on the pork chop and put it on the chicken, and two disappointments are transformed into two decent dishes.
The appetizers we tried from the all-seafood options were much better, and again, low priced. The best were a bowl of mussels steamed in white wine ($3.95) and two petite crab cakes ($4.95). The mussels were plump and packed a lot of flavor in the wine sauce. The crab cakes were full of big lumps of meat and paired with a bright fruit salsa. The lobster ravioli in light champagne sauce ($3.50) sounds luxe, and is fine as a small pasta appetizer, but neither of the two marquee ingredients was particularly obvious.
There are simple house and Caesar salad options ($2 each), but we tried the Oscar salad ($3.50). It looks a lot like a caprese, with a few roasted peppers joining the classic tomato, mozzarella and basil. And, notably, the tomatoes come perfectly salted.
The bar is limited to beer and wine, and there isn't any gouging going on there, either. House brand wines in seven varietals are $3 a glass, and a malbec checks in at $4.
Service was earnest enough that we are left rooting for the place. On a slow night, our server was always at the ready with refills and food came along at a good pace. Oscar himself visited our table with each course, making us feel like a guest in his home. On a busier night, though, our server seemed a bit harried and the pacing off. He seemed to have too much to do, which was weird because there were several staff members congregated at the bar much of the night.
Location will remain a challenge for Oscar's. It has decent frontage on the main thoroughfare from the mainland, but the parking situation is less than obvious, hidden in an alley behind the building and between two very different kinds of novelty stores. The sliding-glass entry gives the feeling of walking in the back door, into a narrow hallway. Less than ideal.
That is a difficult problem to solve, but ultimately it isn't as important as those on the plate. Those fixes seem fairly simple and would make the food match the atmosphere.

Homemade Apple Cider | Thirsty For...
What do you think about this video?
Honeysuckle Catering: LOVE the music - such a happy coincidence :)
Tastemade: Warm yourself up with this delicious homemade apple cider recipe, courtesy of the +Tastemade original series, "THIRSTY FOR..." Full Recipe Below. Homemade Apple Cider | Thirsty For... APPLE CIDER RECIPE INGREDIENTS: - 6 Granny Smith Apples - 6 Red Delicious Apples - 1 Valencia Orange - 1 Cup Brown Sugar - 1 Whole Nutmeg, finely chopped - 4 Whole Cinnamon Sticks, halved. - 1 Tbs Cloves DIRECTIONS - Wash apples and oranges and cut into quarters. - Add to a large stockpot along with the brown sugar. - Lay your nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves into a cheesecloth, and tie into a satchel. - Fill your stockpot with enough water to cover the fruit, and add your spice satchel. - Bring water to a boil, let your mixture boil for at least one hour to let the fruit soften. - Mash your softened fruit, reduce heat, and simmer for 2 additional hours. - Allow the pot to cool completely, and remove your spice satchel. - Line a large bowl with a doubled cheesecloth, and add the contents of the stockpot. - Twist and squeeze the cheesecloth to get as much juice as you can. - Drink cool or reheat, just make sure you rummage through some leaves afterwards :)
ManiacalPumpkin: For all the people asking "is this alcoholic" or saying "how is this cider without alcohol" this is basically a virgin apple cider which means its non-alcoholic, although to most american people this is how apple cider normally is supposed to be, where i live in California ive seen it flat(not carbonated) and carbonated but never alcoholic.
amber fords: Looks great but to much fruit wasted only to be able to get two cups out of that just my opinion cheaper to buy it lol
Rachel K.R.: You cannot deny the fun of the music in this video. Mills Brothers? with Louis Armstrong?
astrojg0: How is this cider? There is no fermentation so no alcohol surely?
Saracles: I made this a few days ago with a friend and it turned out very delicious. Thanks Tastemade!
feeb28: +Tastemade +SORTED Food Can we add the sugar at the very end, after boiling for three hours? What's the point of flavouring the cider at the beginning rather than the end as customarily, you flavour (add salt or sugar) at the end of cooking?
Natali Norton: how many people does this serve?
AussieCookShow: I replace the sugar with stevia and the apples with pears.... oh and a wee bit of Vodka! Lovely!
Rose Heloise: Looks really good! I will try it.................. Thanks for showing us! Btw, the music is so GOOD!!!!!
Lan Nguyen: Reaaaallly love your video with the music choice!!!
Kochen Online: Looks really good. We like!!! :) Italian Burger
Colin macmullin: If you make this,you should keep the pulp, if you put it in a blender until smooth with some chunks then you end up with a delicious marmalade-like spread!
ybunnygurl: +timeofknight they look like the Anchor Hocking Cambria Mug, or the Libbey Robusta Mug, you can get them from Walmart to Crate and Barrel, and always on internet. just depends how much you want to pay. and I'm going to try this with pressed unfiltered apple juice instead of water, should have more that way.
Thomas Leffler: How to make Apple Cider
nikki Robinson: Adam don't make this for sean sbirthday :)
tina andrews: what a lovely way to make apple cider!!! the background classic elevates this dish further :D
Hargun Khanna: How many servings does this recipe provide (approximately?)
Ashly Rose: Is the fruit rotten (fermented) or something? If not im tottaly down with it i just heard its an alchoholic drink, so yeah i dont do dat
gogba55: Thank you for your lovely video :) I had something like this in Florida long time ago. Now I'm in Perth, can't find it. I'll be happy making myself a batch.
Nadia19884: Once made, how long can it last in a sealed bottle?
whowantsabighug: No point in cider if there's no booze.
Alexander Petrohv: isnt cider alcohol?
Kazeneko: This looks delicious. How many cups does this recipe produce exactly?
harmonicfood: Whats the song that's playing
Meggie Time: My mom would say, " That takes too much work! "
The Crass Menagerie: To be honest, I've made cider before (admittedly not using this recipe) and you get so little actual cider out of the apples that you really don't need to worry about it keeping. But yeah, I'd imagine if you kept it in a sealed container in the fridge, it would keep for quite a while. Regardless, you'd have to worry more about it fermenting than spoiling.
IamIceQueen7: i think because there isn't so many oranges it wont affect it that much
AshleyzWannaB: Yeah... you could. But where's the fun in opening a can of soda? When you could make your own Apple Cider. :)
Dick Holman: Now, this looks gorgeous, but, it's not fermented, so why is it called cider? In the UK, cider is fermented apple-juice. I ask from curiosity.
Sakari Kettunen: one of the best videos i've ever seen :3
AmazingKristina: I feel so at home when I watch this :) can't wait until I have kids so I can make this for them in the Fall :)
Ozlo Copa: i made this about a year ago and it came out great! i wanna make some again this year but every single time i go to buy the the apples someone in my house always beats me to the punch and buys gala apples instead, can i use those instead of the red delicious or granny smith instead?
TrustedScam: So you go through all this just for a few cups of apple cider... Looks good but soda woulld be easier
KelferMookie: seams like a lot of work for a little bit of juice....
Ash Williams: It will still be good without it, just omit what you don't like.
Silver Fern: wha xD i didn't know that~
Peacingitout: how much does this make?
BlueRose955: It does look delicious, but isnt that alot of work for 2 or 3 glasses?
Dom's Sketch Cast: God damn, this is beautiful.

Eduardo Porter Latest NYTimes Staffer to Hail OWS's Fight Against Inequality
Former New York Times economics reporter turned editorial board member Eduardo Porter is the latest Times staffer to declare that the leftists of Occupy Wall Street have it figured out: "Wall Street Protesters Hit the Bull's-Eye." Porter wrote: "Their complaint that the privileged few in the top 1 percent are getting a disproportionate share of the nation's prosperity, however, is spot on."
Occupiers of Zuccotti Park and other sites around the country have been criticized for the fuzziness of their goals. Their complaint that the privileged few in the top 1 percent are getting a disproportionate share of the nation's prosperity, however, is spot on. And Wall Streeters are taking a bigger and bigger chunk of that income.
Although the people who comprise Porter's hated subset "the rich" are constantly changing, he seems to have imbibed the liberal idea of the top 1% earners as an unchanging lump of largesse. Note Porter's word choice; there's little sense of the rich having earned their wealth; money is simply something that passively, unfairly flows upward to them.
Who exactly are the people at the top? They are 1.4 million families that made on average $1 million in 2009, the latest data available. They took a hit from the 2008 financial crisis, but no doubt are regaining lost ground. The rich always do: a report published last week by the Congressional Budget Office shows that the share of national income going to the top percentage of households skyrocketed over the last three decades, even as it fell for the vast majority of American families.
The top 1 percent's share of the nation's total adjusted gross income was 17 percent in 2009, down from 23 percent two years before. But those people are still earning more than the entire bottom half of the population.
The first chart shows the share of national income that goes to families at different points of the income distribution. Since the mid-1980s the top 10 percent of Americans have increased their share at the expense of everybody else. But the lion's share of these gains accrued to the richest 1 percent; and half of those gains went to the top 0.1 percent.
Porter passed along a tip on going after those greedy bankers.
The protesters' grievances may be aimed at Wall Street as a metaphor for broader economic forces. But there is nothing metaphorical about who is taking home the wealth. The protesters might even aim a bit higher: the real income growth is happening in the top 0.1 percent. There are lots of bankers there, too.
One of Porter's previous attacks on "the rich" from August 2007 backfired. He described Mexican media mogul Carlos Slim as a "thief" and "robber baron" in a signed editorial. Yet in 2009, that same robber baron gave the NYT Co. a $250 million loan, and became in the eyes of publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. "a very shrewd businessman with an appreciation for great brands."

Their hate is based on jealousy and envy that there are people who make more money (a lot more) then they do. There will always be inequality in any system. the more controlled the system, the bigger the inequalities. The old Soviet Union, practicing almost complete economic control by the State under communism, had even bigger inequalities than the west had. The question is who controls the inequality, the person themselves or some government appointed distributor?

On his morning show on WMAL
Submitted by celator on Tue, 11/01/2011 - 4:34pm.
On his morning show on WMAL this morning, Chris Plante read through a very long list of crimes being committed by various OWL groups in the country. He cited reports of rapes, thefts, fights, confrontations with police, homeless thrown people out of the OWL areas, etc. He ran tapes of victims of rapes begging for help, OWL organizers saying they would take take of the situation without police "interference".
The MSM just can't any examples of these activities. Just can't. Oh wait, some MSM reporters are actually participating in the OWL's antics.
If you ever wondered what "useful idiots" looked like, now we know.
Fighting "inequality" my foot.

Saw a similar report on a local TV news station this morning. There are plenty of stories out there like this one: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/hampshire-woman-justina-jensen-... - and more coming.
Funny, I don't remember ANY Tea Party events featuring this kind of lawlessness.

The concept is simple and it's not a new one. There are a few different Apps on the App Store that let you turn your iDevice photos into printed post cards that can also be mailed to just about anyone. All you have to do is build the card in the App and the service takes care of the printing and mailing. Apple has entered this arena with custom greeting Cards. The Cards App is simple you start with a category and then once you pick the card you like from a given category you are three steps away from having a custom greeting card sent to a friend, colleague or family member. If the card you choose allows for a picture on the outside or inside you'll get to choose one of the pics on your iDevice. Then you can edit the text on the inside and lastly address the envelope before placing your order. Thankfully the App let's you pull address from your Contacts to speed up the process. These Letterpress cards run $2.99 and that's complete with envelope and postage.
Nice but it could be better
First off I'm a little surprised that this isn't a Universal App for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. While it does work on all iOS devices it doesn't take advantage of the iPad's screen size. Portrait cards get no love in this App either. Everything is landscape. While landscape only cards aren't the end of the world, the designs are fairly basic too. Luckily some designs don't require a photo. While I love photos, not every card situation requires one. I'm also a bit surprised that Apple doesn't allow you to "sign" the card. After all you are on a touch device and a "handwritten" signature option would be a nice touch. Lastly, because the cards are mailed through the postal service as regular 1st Class Mail, you have no tracking info. Apple doesn't say where the cards are being mailed from, so you can't really guess about delivery times. Aside from these little things (I actually expected a little more from Apple), the App does work as advertised and it makes sending custom greeting cards pretty painless.
UPDATE – you do get a status Push Notification
I sent two cards out on two different days. The 1st one went out and got delivered yesterday and I had no idea about when it would be delivered. However, today low and behold I just got a push notification on my iPhone stating that the card arrived at the local post office and should be delivered today. Scratch that from my gripes

Security Certificate
Understanding Security Certificates
Merchandise and services alone can no longer sustain an online business at current e-commerce levels. With the proliferation of commercial Web sites and penetration of online use, businesses must be able to attract and retain online consumers with more than just tangible products. Perceived legitimacy of an e-commerce Web site, for example, is now equally, if not more, important to online shoppers as the products they offer.
The idea of legitimate online business is based upon a consumer's confidence in the integrity and use of a particular Web site, and especially wherever personal or financial data is involved. So when Secure servers and security certificates are now standard for commercial Web site design and essential for legitimate online presence.
Entrust Certificates Provide Authentication and Encryption
Entrust SSL security is designed for the growing need for Web site identification and protection of sensitive data transmitted online. Utilizing the latest technology, Entrust digital security certificates provide two essential security functions: authentication and encryption. For the purposes of authentication, Entrust security certificates are tied to a specific domain and can only be utilized for that particular Web site; therefore, when a client computer requests a certificate, authentication is provided. After the domain is authenticated, the security certificate enables a secure communication channel between the two computing endpoints. The data transferred via the channel is encrypted, using high-security 128- or 256-bit encryption. The level of encryption will depend upon the configuration of the client's Web browser, and the type of security certificate the site's server has in place.
SSL Certificates and Security Indicators
Since SSL is an integral part of most Web sites and Web browsers, Entrust security certificates employ the reputable SSL indicators that are easily recognized by Web site users whenever SSL security is enabled. Online consumers have much experience already with the little yellow padlock that appears when a security certificate is in use. However, the installation of a security certificate will also change the standard URL in the client's Web browser window to a secure URL, or from http:\\ to https:\\. In fact, whenever a browser shows the Web site address beginning with https, SSL security certificates are in use and communication with the site is encrypted.
Entrust now offers an additional level of validation for those sites utilizing security certificates to authenticate their site. Known as extended validation (EV), an Entrust EV SSL certificate triggers additional SSL indicators, like a color change in the URL address bar of a Web browser, the organizational name or the Entrust name as issuing certification authority (CA). This type of security certificate is only recognizable by the latest Web browsers, and can only be presented by domains that have satisfied additional legal requirements by the issuing certification authority. Those sites that already employ Entrust SSL certificate technology can upgrade to EV SSL security certificates quickly, conveniently and with minimal impact to existing site operations.

How to utilize Communicators' application keys
How to utilize Communicators' application keys
Normally the application keys (Desk, My own, etc.) are consumed by the startup application, but by setting the capture priority equal to system applications, the system distributes key events also to your application. The following code shows how to capture the Desk key with RWindowGroup:
// This handle is used to cancel the capture later
TInt32 applicationKey;
// Priority to capture the application keys
TInt capturePriority(1000000);
// Get the root window
RWindowGroup& groupWin = iCoeEnv->RootWin();
applicationKey = groupWin.CaptureKey(EKeyApplication0, 0, 0, capturePriority);
Received key events can be handled in the OfferKeyEventL() function. Application keys range from EKeyApplication0 to EKeyApplication7, as defined in e32keys.h (TKeyCode).
Note: The functionality of application keys should not be changed without user intervention. If possible, the original function of an application key should be retained, and new functionality added, e.g., behind two key presses.

I'm having a problem with WPA2 EAP-TLS authentication on an E51.
Certificates were imported into the phone from a PKCS#12 file containing certificates for the Root CA and an intermediate CA, along with the user certificate & private key. I was prompted to enter a password for the private key store, which was done. (I can confirm that these certs work fine on a PC).
All three certificates show up fine in the certificate manager application. However I am never prompted for access to the private key store when I try to connect to the wireless network.
A network trace from the RADIUS server shows a series of requests and challenges, however the user certificate is never received from the phone, and the authentication times out on the phone after 2 minutes.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this would be welcome..

I mean that in all seriousness simply because we beat Cal. Cal, for some reason, brings out the very worst in me. I don't think I've ever come across a more pretentious group of fans that have no freakin' clue about sports or what it means to be a winner.
Yes, they piss me off more than SC fans. I can deal with the obnoxiousness of SC fans because that can be explained by success going to one's head. I don't like it very much, but I can deal with it and it can be explained (also, I find that band wagon fans are extremely volatile wherever you find them and SC has a good share of them). You can also explain it through general dumbassery. Cal, on the other hand, cannot be explained.
Message to Cal fans - you have done nothing for the Pac-10. Football championships from the time when Jesus was turning water into wine are irrelevant to me. Was the forward pass even invented yet? Co Pac-10 Championships are merely cute if you can only do it once. Being perennial Holiday Bowl contestants does not make you an important team.
You will never matter in the the realm of football and basketball. Your teams continually crap themselves when they have to perform in high pressure situations. Your "god" Tedford has a LOSING record against Coach Sleepy. Do you understand that? Coach Sleepy has your number! That is beyong pathetic and emblematic of your sports in general. "Little sister" is roughly 70 years your junior and has over 70 more championships than you! Save me your speeches on your intermural rugby team. We all play by the same NCAA rules. Cal just ended up being good at a sport that is irrelevant. That is nobody elses fault but your own. Quit complaining.
Oh...and another thing. If I have to hear that "You're stupid and couldn't get into Cal" argument one more time, I'm going to go insane simply because of that pure stupidity of the statement. UCLA is still a flagship UC school and UCLA is still world renowned for its academics. Your diss is the equivalent of a Harvard grad telling a Stanford grad that (s)he is an idiot for not getting into Harvard. Ha! Stanford is still a phenomenal school. Speaking of Stanford...that is all YOU ARE. You are Stanford rejects that end up at a school and is only slightly better than UCLA academically with no sports history and very hairy women. You could only dream about being the best academic-athletic school in the nation.
We have been having conversations on here about why wins don't feel good under Coach Sleepy. This is the one game where I feel FANTASTIC after winning. To knock Cal fans off their damn pedestal that they created with their own sense of self-importance is a very, very good feeling. Cal, you have no idea what sports are about. You have no idea how to act. Even mentioning the idea of firing Tedford because of this loss illustrates that fact that you are not deserving of a good football team. You are ridiculous. You are sad. You are embarassing for the Pac-10. You disgrace Cal fans that actually have a clue (I know many).
Until you can learn how to act, this will be a game I will truly enjoy being the victor of. Saturday, despite the fact that Coach Sleepy did everything he could to lose the game (punting on Cal's 38!!!!!!!), was a very good day.
End of rant. It is 4:50am my time and I'm thinking I should go to bed. My apologies for typos due to a lack of sleep and over-studying. Go Bruins!

This is my first post, please forgive any mistakes haha
Just wanted to say how excited i am to be looking forward to the new season for our Atlanta Hawks with Coach Bud in charge and what Danny Ferry has worked hard to be able to now create..... A potentially great team thats focused on defense, player and ball movement where everyone from players to coach and gm are all on the same page and focused on being great and winning....
Now we know how most fans are split between Josh and Al... and who is better and who should stay and was just wondering what everyone else was thinking... and perhaps what we think Ferry and Coach Bud might be thinking...
Ill say Im a Josh Fan, hes part of the reason i started supporting the hawks a few years back, he can be frustrating as we all know, but can also be great.... he can make a thunderous dunk and get the crowds rocking or he can even do it with his defense which can also be frustrating and great.... Do we think Bud and Ferry with their new systems and culture can change our sometimes Good-Bad Josh into the Smoove that he should and can be???? Coach Bud seems to be a defensive minded coach and who better to help that than Smoove playing at his best... making steal and blocks that then transfer into offense where hopefully in a new system he would be taking more shoots in the paint??
But then theres Al Horford.... Hes consistent , plays a great game pretty much all the time and knows what he can do and plays to those strengths. Al is still under contract and from what we have seen in the press conferences with Bud and Ferry, Al seems to be their focus or centerpiece... And really who better than Al who is a competitor and plays with consistency and has improved year after year and is still fairly young too!! But will he be traded for that dream of a CP3, Dwight and Josh Studded line up???
Now we know there is Cap room issues in terms of FAs and signing perhaps CP3 or Dwight or Josh and still keeping Horford.... But thats not really what this is about... this is more bout thinking bout two of the best players ive ever seen... who have made our hawks good and great and perhaps whether this is truely the last year they will both be together or even in a Hawks uniform
Now lets all play nice :)

Knuckle duster is the urban definition of a ring that fits on two fingers. The ones that Good Wood NYC produce are leaving us feeling hot and bothered right now. At $20 a pop, there are three variations to choose from: a classic brown wood, light or dark brown, the black and white ti-dye, or the red and wood blood spatter. Take your finger pick: middle and ring, pointer and middle, or ring and pinky and dress it up with some hard-to-top woods – and choose your mood.
Blood Stain Knuckle Duster, $20.00
Knuckle dusters are gaining popularity these days just as fast as gold plated name tags did in the 80′s. Some accessory and jewelry brands do make knuckle dusters in silver and gold, but the aesthetic of simplicity that this New York Good Wood offers top-notch craftsmanship and limited edition curation. Yowza.
Classic Brown Knuckle Duster, $20.00
Holding its own in pop culture, originality and music, Good Wood NYC doesn't stop there with just finger adornments. The ever so sought after Jesus Piece has craftsmanship one would also heavily seek out. Heavy hitters like Snoop Dog has, and so should you.

Two teams left in the East.
After falling short in the 2009 Eastern Conference Finals against the Orlando Magic, the Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back and finished the regular season 61-21, good for first place in the Central Division, and the NBA's best record for the second season in a row. They acquired Shaquille O`Neal from the Suns in the off season, LeBron James had another magical regular season, capturing his second consecutive MVP award, and the team pulled off the deadline day trade that brought Antawn Jamison over from the Washington Wizards. All was done with the hopes of bringing a title to Cleveland in the midst of Lebron's impending free agency. And all has proven to be for nothing.
The Boston Celtics finished a banged up, bit of a sub-par regular season at 50-32, but still good for first place in the Atlantic Division. The team got healthy come playoff time and elimiated the Miami Heat in 5 games, and in what has proven to be the biggest upset in these playoffs so far, knocked off the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in 6. Unity proved to be the key. Boston had it, Cleveland did not. Oh, and Ubuntu. Do they have what it takes to return to the NBA Finals, and prove that the title they won in 2008 was not just a fluke?
The Orlando Magic finished the regular season at 59-23, good for first place in the Southeast Division. After playing the spoiler in last year's Eastern Conference Finals, and falling short in the Finals to the Lake Show, they acquired Vince Carter from the Nets, nursed point guard Jameer Nelson back to health, and rode on Dwight Howard's shoulders, as he won a second consecutive Defensive Player of the Year award. The Magic then took out the Charlotte Bobcats in 4 straight in the first round, and then proceeded to smoke the third seeded Atlanta Hawks in 4. As it stands right now, they're 8-0 going into a series with a veteran, playoff tested Celtic team that also seems to be peaking at the right time. Do they have what it takes to finish what they started last year?

CLEVELAND (WKOW)-- An Ohio man arrested with a loaded gun, ammunition, and knives at a showing of the latest Batman movie has been placed on house arrest while awaiting trial.
A prosecutor says 37-year-old Scott Smith will wear an electronic ankle bracelet while he awaits his next court date on September 24. He appeared in court last week.
The Lorain Morning Journal reports that Smith will be examined to determine his sanity. Smith faces two concealed weapon counts and one count of having a weapon under disability, which police say is drug dependency. He was arrested at an August 4 showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Westlake, Ohio.
His attorney says he had the weapons for protection in case someone tried to copy the Colorado shooting that left 12 dead.

Racing - Angel to swoop at Cartmel's John Smith's BBQ meet
10:58am Thursday 15th July 2010 in Horse racing By Flared Nostril
TIM Vaughan's Our Guardian Angel, ridden by Richard Johnson, can get punters off on a winning start at Cartmel's John Smith's Summer Barbeque meeting today (Thursday).
The six-year-old has finished in the frame on each of its two appearances this season and will be a warm order to get its head in front in this contest.
Stagecoach Pearl in the beginners' chase that follow at 2.30 has been runner-up in its last three outings.
A series of near-misses should end, however, with the assistance of Tony McCoy from the saddle.
Another local trainer, Martin Todhunter from Orton, has a strong candidate for the 3.40 handicap chase with Western Gale.
Two recent thirds suggest that Todhunter's charge is on an upward curve and he looks worthy of each-way support.
Cartmel's own Jimmy Moffatt has a good chance with Duty Free in Aspell's capable hands for the 4.15pm maiden hurdle.

In order to feel comfortable in the cooling season conditioned air has to be at the right air temperature AND relative humidity. Conventional AC dehumidifies when it is running but it is thermostatically controlled by air temperature only. Which means that when air temperature is reached the AC turns off and stops dehumidifying. Not a big problem if you live in an arid climate such as Pheonix but if you live in New England where the summers are very humid and not…Continue

Reviews for Amaranth LyricsPerformed by Nightwish

Add Your New Review About The Song
Great, actually | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/9/07
Heres the deal. I loved the old Nightwish. I also love the new Nightwish.
I love them differently, and for different reasons. They are better in some ways and worse in others than the old. As for Tarja vs Annette: They are different. Very different! However they are both very talented singers. The difference is that Tarja has more experience than Annette, but she will get there, and she will bring Nightwish to a completely new level!
woop woop | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/8/07
i love this song:) tarja was soo much better but she is stil good! and she isnt tring to be tarja like some people try and be the person who yout replacig xD
Not bad... | Reviewer: Artemis | 10/9/07
At first i thought 'the hell, what is this, Evanescence?', but then i listened to the whole Album and i have to admit, it's really good. Annette sure isn't Tarja and she isn't as good as Tarja, but it's simply impossible for Annette to sing like her. I know Nightwish since the first Album and saw them live twice. Amaranth is a great song, something happy and shiny. The rest of the Album is great, too, with still the fact in mind that Nightwish is now without Tarja. You can't overhear it :|
Love amaranth | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/8/07
I think nightwish are one of the best bands out there and im glad anettes keeping it alive, i think she has an amazing voice
im standing up for anette. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/7/07
Thats just how sings, you know, with the pop influences. Which I think, makes a beautiful contrast between the hardy guitar riffs and hitting drums. Personally, I like the pop sounding voice. As long as the singer's got a good range, and talent, its fine with me.
I agree that she does not know how to move. She will get used to it, im sure.
She would sound awesome in Beauty and the Beast, or Gethsemane. It's just me, maybe. But I won't want to see her singing wishmaster... *shudder*
Annette is awesome man... She will do fine.
Grrr | Reviewer: Marie | 10/8/07
I'm tried of trying to like Anette in the prof. singer level. Her voice is great, but for some pop punk band, not something of Nightwish's level. She's unsophisticated, and annoying. Compare Tarja's clothes in vids (long astonishing flowing dresses) to her cheap tights and jean skirts. What in the world is she thinking? And what is Tuomas thinking letting her hop around stage like that. She's better off going to sing with Avril L. than with Nightwish. Amaranth would be a beautiful video if she didn't look like a High school emo girl bobbing her head from side to side and jumping up and down. And in the vid for Bye, bye Beautiful, she wanders aimlessly around the stage while the other more talented members of the band save the song's image. I wish she would just stop, she's ruining Nightwish's image. I don't care if Tarja is an ungrateful, uncooperative, capricious, whatever, but she is 25873486535065^43582745984 better than Anette. They need to get her back, or at least someone that has her style. This is such a disappointment, and to think that I never had the honor to watch Tarja live. Now I have to look at Anette. Thank the lord for Tuomas and the rest who preserve the Nightwish spirit.
yep i quite like it | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/7/07
quite i drastic change i must admit.. but dar passion play still sounds like nightwish (with a new voice).. i really like this song amaranth.. somehow i find the chorus a bit 'pop like' but very nice.. its stays in your mind..
brave effort by nightwish... i was expecting much worse!
NightWish 4ever! | Reviewer: Michael | 10/7/07
The best band ever! I miss Tarja. She's belong to the band, but i think that Annette sing good:D It's the best music ever.
I think... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/6/07
i think that this change has made the band better... they are much happier now. And i dont think so just beacause im from sweden. I liked Tarja too but it became to much with all the alcohol..the band has theire power back now =) im glad that they are back with a healthy singer..
I miss Tarja... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/7/07
I've known this band for a long time. I love Nightwish...but I sorely miss Tarja. She was an amazing vocalist. Annette is DEFINITELY NOT Tarja...But I actually do like this song. So Annette is okay in my book...for right now. Tarja's shoes are impossible to fill, so I'll try to be nicer to Annette. Lol.
Better now, i think | Reviewer: Pecc | 10/6/07
I always liked Nightwishs music, but wasn't a fan of that opera like sound, I'm more the evanescence fan.
I hadn't heard that song complete, but it's in a TV ad here in Germany and loved at when I heard it the first time.
<3 | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/4/07
this is my favourite new song so far, i love annettes voice but i miss tarja's operatic sound, at first i thought 'they don't sound unique anymore, they don't sound like nightwish' but now i'm used to the change i realised they are still very much nightwish
:O | Reviewer: Ark | 10/5/07
Actually, I like both Tarja and Anette. They both seem to fit into Nightwish rather well, and Anette's really good with this track. I'm impressed.
OMG | Reviewer: Tata | 10/2/07
Will not say anything about the voice and stuff... But since I've seen Anette on stage =((( That girl just have no idea of how to move. Try watching it with no sound.
And about "a much happier, positive, lively feeling", seems like or Anette are in a wrong band, or they have to change the lyrics.
not THE best, but good | Reviewer: hellbender | 10/4/07
I think that Tarja was very good, this song "amaranth" is good too, but I didn´t even recognise the band when I first heard it.
I loved the metal/opera mixup, when tarja was the singer, now I must wait and see what does the old songs sound with new singer, and does there come other good songs with Anette. I don´t say that she isn´t good but i´m afraid that she is too much pop singer, and I doubt that metal/pop mixup will work.

Geographical Differences in Italian Students' Mathematical Competencies: Evidence from Pisa 2003
AbstractIn this paper we investigate the existence and the size of geographical differences in Italian students' mathematical competencies. We analyze a novel data set that combines the 2003 wave of the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) with information about local economic conditions and school-level administrative data. We find there is significant positive correlation, across provinces, between mathematical literacy and school buildings maintenance and local employment probabilities. About 75% of the North-South differential in mathematical literacy is accounted for by resource differences, while geographical differences in school production functions account for the remaining fraction.
