Step aside, Ivy League: Prestige is one thing, but when it comes to balancing a paycheck and student loans, the Georgia Institute of Technology has you beat. SmartMoney ranked Georgia Tech the country's "Best Value," analyzing starting salaries, paychecks three years after finishing school, and average total tuition cost to determine where graduates get the most bang for their tuition bucks.The blog NerdWallet also crunched numbers and confirmed SmartMoney's analysis, reporting that of ten schools whose graduates earn top salaries, Tech is the only public school. The median annual salary for recent Tech graduates is $59,000, compared with $50,700 for Harvard grads and $48,900 for Yalies, while the average annual tuition for out-of-state students at Tech is just $26,000, compared with $44,000 at the other top-earning schools. For Georgia residents, tuition is less than $8,000, and most Tech students qualify for HOPE.(Another Georgia school, UGA, also made the SmartMoney top value ranks, coming in at number four nationally.)
Although Georgia Tech is mainly known for its engineering programs, students from other departments find success as well. "Tech is a really good school even if you're not a technology or engineering major," says An Do, a fourth-year psychology major at Tech. She believes the accessible career centers, career fairs, and visiting professors from organizations like the CDC and Marcus Autism Center add to its overall value."Regardless of what your major is, the different departments really help you get what you need," she says.

|2013-14 NBA Preseason
|October 5, 2013 - 7:00 p.m. ET
|Bankers Life Fieldhouse - Indianapolis, IN
|TV: NBA TV---- Radio: AM 1070/107.5 FM The Fan
|Probable Starters
|Derrick Rose
|George Hill
|Jimmy Butler
|Lance Stephenson
|Luol Deng
|Paul George
|Carlos Boozer
|David West
|Nazr Mohammed
|Roy Hibbert
The starting lineup on Saturday's preseason opener may not carry much weight. Lance Stephenson will reportedly start but Danny Granger will play half the game as well. It appears the Pacers ideal world would be to have Granger return to a near-All-Star level of play which would move him back into the starting lineup with Lance runnning the point for the second unit.
Reportedly, there's even been discussion of starting Solomon Hill and bringing both Granger and Stephenson off the bench. Options. This team has options. But first, let's get through Granger's first preseason game to see what we're working with here.
As for the Bulls, the big story is Rose's return which is likely to draw plenty Chicago fans down I-65 for a glimpse. While Rose returns, a groin injury will keep Joakim Noah out of the lineup for Chicago. Obviously, Noah heard how Roy Hibbert feels about him on a personal level and doesn't want to deal with the big fella. Ha.
Honestly, if you show me someone who tells you they've seen a preseaon opener with more juice and storylines, I'll show you a liar.
For more on the Bulls, check out Blog A Bull. Also, leave your thoughts and observations on the game in the comments.

This tutorial describes how to host a Ruby on Rails-based website on Azure using a Linux virtual machine. This tutorial assumes you have no prior experience using Azure. Upon completing this tutorial, you will have a Ruby on Rails-based application up and running in the cloud.
You will learn how to:
Setup your development environment
Setup an Azure virtual machine to host Ruby on Rails.
Create a new Rails application
Copy files to the virtual machine using scp
The following is a screenshot of the completed application:
Set up your development environment
Create a Rails application
Test the application
Create an Azure Virtual Machine
Copy the application to the VM
Install gems and start the application
Next steps
Install Ruby in your development environment. Depending on your operating system, the steps may vary.
Open a new command-line or terminal session and enter the following command to install Ruby on Rails:
gem install rails --no-rdoc --no-ri
This command may require administrator or root privileges on some operating systems. If you receive an error while running this command, try using 'sudo' as follows:
sudo gem install rails
Version 3.2.12 of the Rails gem was used for this tutorial.
You must also install a JavaScript interpreter, which will be used by Rails to compile CoffeeScript assets used by your Rails application. A list of supported interpreters is available at https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs#readme.
Node.js was used during validation of this tutorial, as it is available for OS X, Linux and Windows operating systems.
From the command-line or terminal session, create a new Rails application named "blog_app" by using the following command:
rails new blog_app
This command creates a new directory named blog_app, and populates it with the files and sub-directories required by a Rails application.
This command may take a minute or longer to complete. It performs a silent installation of the gems required for a default application, and during this time may appear to hang.
Change directories to the the blog_app directory, and then use the following command to create a basic blog scaffolding:
rails generate scaffold Post name:string title:string content:text
This will create the controller, view, model, and database migrations used to hold posts to the blog. Each post will have an author name, title for the post, and text content.
To create the database that will store the blog posts, use the following command:
rake db:migrate
This will use the default database provider for Rails, which is the SQLite3 Database. While you may wish to use a different database for a production application, SQLite is sufficient for the purposes of this tutorial.
Perform the following steps to start the Rails server in your development environment
From the command-line or terminal session, start the rails server using the following command:
rails s
You should see output similar to the following. Note the port that the web server is listening on. In the example below, it is listening on port 3000.
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 3.2.12 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
[2013-03-12 19:11:31] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1
[2013-03-12 19:11:31] INFO ruby 1.9.3 (2012-04-20) [x86_64-linux]
[2013-03-12 19:11:31] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=9789 port=3000
Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000/. You should see a page similar to the following:
This page is a static welcome page. To see the forms generated by the scaffolding command, navigate to http://localhost:3000/posts. You should see a page similar to the following:
To stop the server process, enter CTRL+C in the command-line
Follow the instructions given here to create an Azure virtual machine that hosts Linux.
the steps in this tutorial were performed on an Azure Virtual Machine hosting Ubuntu 12.10. If you are using a different Linux distribution, different steps may be required to accomplish the same tasks.
You only need to create the virtual machine. Stop after learning how to connect to the virtual machine using SSH.
After creating the Azure Virtual Machine, perform the following steps to install Ruby and Rails on the virtual machine:
From the command-line or terminal session, use the following command to connect to the virtual machine using SSH:
ssh username@vmdns -p port
Substitute the user name specified during the creation of the VM, the DNS address of the VM, and the port of the SSH endpoint. For example:
ssh email@example.com -p 61830
If you are using Windows as your development environment, you can use a utility such as PuTTY for SSH functionality. PuTTY can be obtained from the PuTTY download page.
From the SSH session, use the following commands to install Ruby on the VM:
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1 ruby1.9.1-dev build-essential libsqlite3-dev nodejs -y
After the installation completes, use the following command to verify that Ruby has been successfully installed:
ruby -v
This should return the version of Ruby that is installed on the virtual machine, which may be different than 1.9.1. For example, ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-linux].
Use the following command to install Bundler:
sudo gem install bundler --no-rdoc --no-ri
Bundler will be used to install the gems required by your rails application once it has been copied to the server.
From your development envirionment, open a new command-line or terminal session and use the scp command to copy the blog_app directory to the virtual machine. The format for this command is as follows:
scp -r -P 54822 -C directory-to-copy user@vmdns:
For example:
scp -r -P 54822 -C ~/blog_app firstname.lastname@example.com:
If you are using Windows as your development environment, you can use a utility such as pscp for scp functionality. Pscp can be obtained from the PuTTY download page.
The parameters used for this command have the following effect:
-r: Recursively copies the contents of the specified directory and all sub-directories
-P: Use the specified port for SSH communication
-C: Enable compression
directory-to-copy: The local directory to be copied
user@vmdns: The address of the machine to copy the files to, as well as the user account to log in with
After the copy operation, the blog_app directory will be located in the users home directory. Use the following commands in the SSH session with the virtual machine to view the files that were copied:
cd ~/blog_app
The list of files returned should match the files contained in the blog_app directory in your development environment.
On the virtual machine, change directories to the blog_app directory and use the following command to install the gems specified in the Gemfile:
sudo bundle install
To create the database, use the following command:
Use the following command to start the server:
In your browser, navigate to the Azure Management Portal and select your Virtual Machine.
Select ENDPOINTS at the top of the page, and then click + ADD ENDPOINT at the bottom of the page.
In the ADD ENDPOINT dialog, click the arrow in the bottom left to continue to the second page, and enter the following information in the form:
This will create a public port of 80 that will route traffic to the private port of 3000 - where the Rails server is listening.
Click the checkmark to save the endpoint.
A message should appear that states UPDATE IN PROGRESS. Once this message disappears, the endpoint is active. You may now test your application by navigating to the DNS name of your virtual machine. The website should appear similar to the following:
Appending /posts to the URL should display the pages generated by the scaffolding command.
In this article you have learned how to create and publish a basic forms-based Rails application to an Azure Virtual Machine. Most of the actions we performed were manual, and in a production environment it would be desirable to automate. Also, most production environments host the Rails application in conjunction with another server process such as Apache or NginX, which handles request routing to multiple instances of the Rails application and serving static resources.
For information on automating deployment of your Rails application, as well as using the Unicorn web server and NginX, see Unicorn+NginX+Capistrano with an Azure Virtual Machine.

Well it's not a good show if you suck. On the other hand, pulling a Van Halen is one awesome thing to see. He doesn't fuck up much, and he does gymnastics shit all over the place.
Man, I get real sweaty after I wack my dong. Yeah, cause I headbang while I do, and I can't really "Jump" (haha ) like VanHalen in a dorm room, so I just walk back and forth....haha a couple days ago I was jumping up and down on my bed, with my pants down and my roommate came in when I wasn't looking, hahaha.

Our Identity
Eunoia is a community of creative and artistic Christian students at the University of Virginia. We are pursuing Jesus together through propagating musical and artistic excellence and serving UVA's art's community. Our events are centered around communal creativity and the arts. We host concerts and art shows at our building, The Garden.
We are passionate about creativity. This passion is borne out of a desire to reflect our creator who created our beautiful world. God values the physical, the real, and has walked amongst us in flesh as Jesus. In the incarnation, we were reminded that creativity and creation can communicate God to us.
εύνοια is an old Greek word which is translated "beautiful thinking." As with many words, this definition doesn't present a boundary of meaning so much as a place to begin a conversation. What is "beautiful thinking?" How is it different from any other thinking? One way we answer this question is to say that beautiful thinking is thinking a thought or action that participates in the renewal of those things which are broken and decaying. As creative students walking in the Christian tradition, we recognize beautiful thinking as a Gospel imperative. After all, God the Father, through his son Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit is making all things new. We are invited to be fellow participants in this, and as we think beautifully, we believe we are.
Our History
εύνοια is both new and old.
We are a proud continuation of a community that began on Grounds in the early 1950's. It was then that a group of bright young students in the Baptist tradition came together to form a community who lived together and practiced their faith. For nearly 60 years now the Baptist Student Union (then Baptist Collegiate Ministries) that was formed has continued here at UVA. In 1959 the Baptist Student Center at the corner of Jefferson Park and Brandon was erected to serve as a home base for this ministry.
Our BSU/BCM has impacted countless students over the years as it provided community, friendships, weekly meals, and service opportunities to its members. Many of these members have gone on to become leaders in the church near and far.
Recognizing this great, long tradition from which we come, εύνοια celebrates our history as we seek a new way forward. We still hope to be a community that forms its members into the leaders of the future. We remain committed to providing a support for students in these difficult years. We will continue to host weekly meals and worship gatherings as we grow deeper in our faith and listen to who God is calling us to be. In this next season of life, our community is exploring new ways to love and serve our UVA community.
We are a group of students dedicated to celebrating beauty, truth, and goodness in the world. Part of this celebration is seeking to become a patron of sorts. We have been blessed with a fantastic building in an easily accessible location. Our hope is that this space can become an epicenter for redemptive art and beautiful thinking that reflects the God we serve and the Gospel that is redeeming all things.
All students are welcome in our community. You do not need to come from a certain Christian community. You do not need to be an artist. You only need to be hungry to see the Gospel change your life and this broken world. Come join us at 1500 Jefferson Park Ave –The Garden. Our center is open throughout the day and evening as a place of peace for you to study, create, and rest. See the sidebar for meeting times and events. Also be sure to check our events calendar on the sidebar for concerts, workshops, and gatherings of interest.
Grace and peace to you,

Govt plans to float tenders online
Staff Correspondent
The government is planning to float tenders online to make the public procurement system transparent, accountable and functional and keep it free from undue influence, officials said.
As part of the Public Procurement Reform Project-II, it has taken up a plan to introduce, in phases, e-government procurement (e-GP) to modernise the outdated procurement process and rid it of unjustified influence or physical obstruction.
The finance minister, Abul Maal Abdul Muhith, has already iterated the government's plan to go for government purchases online in accordance with its vision of a 'digital Bangladesh' by 2121.
According to a study of the World Bank carried out in 2002, the total value of the country's public procurement amounts to more than $3.0 billion a year.
Both the volume and the value of such expenditures are expected to increase manifold in the coming years as the country is undertaking more development projects, said sources.
More than 80 per cent of the annual development expenditures are spent on government purchase of goods, works and services, according to official statistics.
With the financial assistance of the World Bank, the central procurement technical unit of the Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation Division under the planning ministry has already started the primary work to launch the online tender process.
The unit's director general Amulya Kumar Debnath told New Age on Thursday four government departments were the targeted agencies under the project. The e-GP will be introduced in 12 to 16 procuring entities under the four agencies on a pilot basis at first.
The four government departments are the Local Government Engineering Department, Roads and Highways Department, Bangladesh Water Development Board and Rural Electrification Board.
'The single end-to-end e-GP solution is one of the four components of the project, and after the launch of the e-GP, all procurement-related information will be delivered via a comprehensive integrated platform and e-GP portal,' he said. 'All stakeholders can have equal access to information, opportunities and participation in the procurement processes in e-GP.'
The other components of the reforms programme include furthering policy reforms and institutionalising capacity development; strengthening procurement management at the sectorial level, and communication, behavioural change and social accountability.
As a part of capacity building and institutionalising the procurement system in compliance with the Public Procurement Act 2006 and the Public Procurement Rules 2008, four training courses, each spanning three weeks, have already been completed. About 108 such courses will be held for over 10 thousand officials, said Debnath.
A comprehensive social awareness campaign and communication programme on public procurement reforms, law and rules, and social accountability is also under way.
Debnath said the PPA and the PPR have paved the way for making the public procurement system accountable and transparent.
He said there should not be any misconception about the laws and rules concerned. They will not cause any delay or inconvenience in the process of procurement, rather they are safeguards for ensuring fair competition and purchase of quality goods and services with government funds.
'All government procuring entities, the bidding community, suppliers, consultants and others concerned are expected to comply with the PPA and PPR,' he noted.
'As government purchases are made with public money, its proper and full utilisation as per the laws and rules will help us to accelerate the pace of the ADP by implementing the development projects in time,' said Debnath, adding the CPTU is going to launch an integrated and comprehensive campaign to generate support of all those concerned in favour of the laws, rules and reforms in public procurement.
The abbreviation 'PPR' no longer stands for Public Procurement Regulations, which was replaced by the Public Procurement Rules 2008. The Public Procurement Regulations 2003 was declared void as soon as the Public Procurement Act 2006 was made a law. Under the law, rules have been framed and put into force since January 31, 2008.
Besides, the e-GP will also provide comprehensive management information and reporting system as prescribed in the PPR 2008.
Debnath said under the IT Act, the use of e-signature has been accepted.
Many countries' experience of the e-GP shows these factors, when combined, can yield savings up to 15 per cent or even more, said an expert working at the CPTU.
More than 50 governments around the world are already using the e-GP in one way or another.

Albany firefighters battled the heat and a house fire Wednesday afternoon.
An overheated air conditioner is blamed for starting this fire at a duplex in the 800 block of Cotton Avenue about 1:15.
The fire spread into the attic and also did damage to the other side of the duplex.
No one was home at the time of the fire.
Firefighter Brian Murray had only three words to say when asked about battling flames in these extreme conditions.
"Hot! Very hot," said Murray.
Murray and 17 other firefighters were out today battling the fire on Cotton Avenue.
Michael Padgett says it takes a while for him to cool off even after he takes his suit off.
"I haven't cooled off. I've been back for thirty minutes and I still haven't cooled off yet," said Padgett.
The firefighters use anything to make sure they stay cool in the heat.
"We've got exhaust fans on the truck that we use to remove smoke form the houses. We actually had one of those set up on the curb just to generate some air because it's no breeze out there. We can't get any relief," said Padgett.
EMS was on the scene to help the firefighters.
After they're done battling the blazes they go through a "rehab" process.
"We have one person designated to set up water and Gatorade and cool rags to make sure they fighter fighters take their time out," said Deputy Fire Chief Ron Rowe.
Deputy Chief Ron Rowe says his men are in tip top shape but this extreme heat can bring down even the strongest firefighters if they're not careful.
"Little over a year ago we implemented a health and wellness program, which a lot of the employees benefited from it. Their stamina is a lot better but this heat will drain you. It doesn't matter what kind of shape you're in," said Deputy Chief Rowe.
The brave men say the temperature may be overbearing, but they know dealing with it is just one part of their lifesaving work.
Deputy Chief Rowe also said he encourages his men to drink plenty of fluids even on their off days.
The firefighters also had a tarp at the scene to provide them with shade where they could lay down and cool off in between rotations.

Ok, this is more of a mainstream phone, it's not bad but why on earth have you not reviewed the Samsung i8910 HD? You never even included it on your lastest touchscreen comparision on your show. Why?!Report as inappropriate

Josh gledhill19 August 2009
i own this phone and i have to say it is utterly brilliant. although it sometimes forgets to ask you for your password you've placed. the camera is brilliant and is great for close ups and far away shots although when you try to take a picture of someones face in the dark the flash is too bright. these are my only two bad points the rest is fantastic!!!Report as inappropriate

Famtastic phone beutiful to look at & to hold & the screen is amazing. Be alot better though if Samsung do launch an apps store to upload extra widgets from other than that would recomend it to anyoneReport as inappropriate
S.Sri25 August 2009
Very nice built quality. Still camera is good but still INNOV 8 is better.Of course the OLED screen is brilliant. Sadly some of the applications,such as Etiquette pause and speaker call functions are not functioning in my phone.Battery life is not exceptional but it is acceptable. No third party applications could be uploaded since this is not a smart phone. In general, a good buy and it cost me Saudi Riyals 1599/- (USD 425/-). I am a Samsung fan & eagerly await the release of Omnia HD.Report as inappropriate
fat-boy30 August 2009
good phone, great screen (no surprises there! ) what it really needs are some 3rd party apps and soon too because if not the iphone 3s will win the battle of the "smartphone" for only that reason its not any good at anything else, but apps seem to make a phone popular these days...Report as inappropriate

The Samsung i8910 HD is by far better than the JET, had one now for five months it better than all the other touch non iphones on the market.Report as inappropriate
Anonymous13 October 2009
Had one of these since June, I was looking at the Omnia HD also but as it was exclusive to Orange only I didn't go for it as Orange isn't a good network for me. I'm very happy with the Jet, the screen is good and I find it pretty responsive. I do occasionally have to re-calibrate it but not often. I also get the same problem someone else posted in that the passwords I set up on it are not always requested but again hardly a show stopper. The battery is pretty good comparing to Samsung phones I've had in the past I think this is down to the low power consumption of the OLED screen. Video playback is excellent and the picture and video capture is adequate for my needs. My only criticism is the MP3 playback - it's not good, the sound is muffly and not clear but I may be being a little unfair as I am comparing it to my Sony X Series MP3 walkman which probably has the best sound quality of any MP3 device. All in all a good phone, robust and easy to use, if like me you want to snub iPhone just because everyone seems to have one then this could be the phone you need but I think the Omnia HD is a better unit it would have been my preference if I could have had it on Vodafone.Report as inappropriate

i recently got this phone as an update as i wanted something a little different than the iphone, plus i read about its fast processer! while it does have many great features i feel some of the basic functions are lacking, the text messaging is not that great and u often end up getting frustrated with the stupid words predictive text thinks your trying to spell, ( e.g if u type the letters for but, the first word to come up is a.tv? which is nuts) also the smart unlock function does not work properly, it just ends up speed dialling your friends while still in your pocket! so it has to be turned off! browsing is also not a fluid experience! touchscreen finds it hard to be precise!Report as inappropriate

Er, pardon me for intruding, but... the Samsung Jet at around £250 is the "luxury" choice whilst the iphone at anything from £440 to £600 is the "mid-range" choice? If you need a financial consultant to explain how money works, I am available. For about, say, a Jet per day. Very reasonable.Report as inappropriate

This is the Best phone i have ever had, with a good set of head phones music sounds very good, Just buy a large mircosd card for more storage 8gb or 16gb. The camara is far better than my last phone a Sony K800i.The display looks amazing better than any iphone my friends have. I bought mine from vodaphone on a £20 contract as i don't use it very much. Much better value that any phone and way lower that the iphone even on its lowest contract. Very recomended to all.Report as inappropriate

i have the samsung jet and it is a brilliant phone. i think it would be great if samsung launched an app store and the games are far to expensive for what you get, around £4.50 per game (lots of games are free on the iphone) i think it is annoying that you cant send a long text message without having to send 2(that might not be the phone that might be my network provider). It takes great photos but when using in the dark with the flash, the flash blinds people and you dont get a good shot. its very responsive and the display quality is fantastic the phone is quite lound when playing a song/game and the internet is superbReport as inappropriate

I bought this phone the other day second hand for £120 which I thought was a reasonable price for such a "current" piece of gadgetyness. It looks great but I have to say having bought it second hand I have had some trouble linking it to my laptop which I only got at christmas. Without my own tunes and little features I can't see me loving it. So if you do go second hand I would make sure it comes with the correct PC suite for it otherwise you might find yourself wishing you had bought something else. Does look damn good tho...Report as inappropriate

I got this phone yesterday and I really like it...However..... I am frustrated that it will not recognise my 1GB memory card. Any one got any suggestions ? I've tried installing it with the phone turned off, then turned on but still no joy. Other than that its a great looking phone.Report as inappropriate

the samsung jet is a very powerful phone alowing you to do a variety of tasks. however there are many down sides to this phone. for instance the touch screen is ok but not very accurate. the texts are near enough awful especially when you want to lay town and the screen keeps tilting from side to side, so you end up sitting up texting. also you are not able to download apps for the phone, so you are stuck with the crappy samsung apps which are so boring . it would be great if the phone allowed you to download apps to the computer and then transfer them to the device. Also the naviagation app on the phone is usless. you have to purchase what you want for the navigation and only a few things are free. Iphones are the way forwardReport as inappropriate

Should be named Samsung Steam-Engine rather than jet. This is the most frustrating to use phone I've ever owned. The processing speed is anything but jet-like, touch screen completely inaccurate despite continuously re-calibrating it, texting is a complete chore and predictive text is totally horrendous. The phone also has a habit of locking up and freezing, especially when halfway through writing a message. Battery life is also poor, but this is a common thing with touch-screen phones. However the screen is fantastic when watching videos and viewing pictures. Perfectly clear and very good contrast. But sadly having a pretty screen will not save this phone from all its faults. All in all, a very frustrating phone to own and use. Roll on my next upgrade.Report as inappropriate

I've got this phone and have found it easy to use but recently I've come across a fault in design. When you lock the phone the only way to unlock it is to press the same button, this will often happen when in my pocket and obviously what follows is the obligatory phone call to someone from my address book. I've also ended up using the internet when I've not intended to through being in my pocket. This isn't a problem if you unlimited phone minutes/internet access, I don't and can't wait to change to a more secure phoneReport as inappropriate

The spring signing day is Apr 15, I believe. SC is still in the running for some nice uncommitted recruits, like PGs Donte Medder and Dominique O'Connor. While evaluating who will come back next season, I realized that Coach Floyd has a lot more potential players than available scholarships. I guess this happens every year, but it seems that this year in particular, Coach Floyd may have some difficult decisions to make. With a scholarship limitation of 13, here's how I break it down:
Scholarship Players (Returners & Commits)
Dwight Lewis, Leonard Washington, Marcus Simmons, Kasey Cunningham, Nikola Vucevic, Mamadou Diarra, Donte Smith, Mike Gerrity, Alex Stepheson, Renardo Sydney, Noel Johnson, Solomon Hill, Derrick Williams, AND PERCY MILLER
That's 14 scholarships right there!
Possible Returners
Taj Gibson, Demar Derozan, Marcus Johnson (applying for NCAA reinstatement year of eligibility, I hear)
Leaving Hackett and other non-scholarship players out of the equation, it appears that Floyd has some shuffling to do. In the updated NBADraftExpress projection, Demar is #12, and Taj, Dwight, and Daniel are not projected to be drafted. Plus, we still have other high school recruits that we could land, specifically Donte Medder or Dominique O'Connor at point guard.
Might Floyd actually prefer for Taj to leave? Will he encourage Demar to leave at #12? Might he encourage Marcus Johnson not to apply for a 1 year eligibility reinstatement? Might he drop injury-prone Kasey Cunningham? Might he drop Diarra or Donte Smith from scholarship? Is there anyway to get Lil Romeo off his hoops scholarship? Lil Romeo is really taking up a critical spot. I am sure that Coach Floyd really wants to find room to add a young, quality PG recruit this year.
Again, I guess this happens every year, yet this year, it appears that Floyd will have even more difficult decisions to make than usual regarding some nice talent. How do you fit the pieces of the puzzle together? Let me know if I made any errors in this break down, please.

we had a great night at the Solstice in Navan !!! fantastic show thanks to the generous contribution from all artists involved , so thank you all !!!nearly sold out the venue!
"looking back .. for a change"
"An exhibition including some of my instruments , work-related drawings , paintings , live drawings , woodcarving , marquetry , photographs etc. spanning forty years will also run from 26th till the 30th november in the foyer of the Solstice arts centre in Navan
The exhibition will be officially opened by Ann Meldon Hugh , renown sculptress from Oldcastle co Meath .
A live performance on classical guitar by Pat Coldrick ( Navan and Dublin ) will entertain the guests at the opening.
Some of the items on display will also be on sale with proceeds going to local charities.
A selection items from the exhibition will go on display afterwards at Navan library for a short period "
Dear guests
Welcome to this exhibition "Looking back for a change". I came up with this title as a result of going through some work from the near and distant past. It is in fact a retrospective and comes with age I suppose….In doing so, I discovered the similarities between some of the early graphic work , done mostly during my time at art college , and also the detailed technical drafting I did while working in metal fabrication.
So I realised that after all ,nothing much really changed over all the years as I'm still involved on a daily basis with either designing or fabricating something in which these disciplines and knowledge form an essential part. Every day I can fall back on my experience and use it in a creative way.This often involves making special tools to do a specific task. I hope I have passed on these skills and appreciation of the arts and beauty in some way to my own children and other people I have met over the years.
Art is not always a pretty picture or a love song…It will however always provoke a reaction of one kind or another. No matter what your chosen format and medium is though, you require ninity nine percent knowledge of that medium/material and skills to produce the end-product. In the visual arts drawing forms the back bone for any of these art forms. Creativity is the other essential one percent ingredient.
I was very lucky with some of the teachers I had from a very young age , starting at primary and continuing at secondary level .After this, and also after completing my military duty in the Belgian army (compulsary for one year ), I attended the college of art in Antwerp where, as my main tutor I had a seventy year " young" lady artist. Every one of these tutors made me appreciate art in all it's forms, not just painting and drawing but also music , ballet,opera sculpting etc.
The skills acquired over this period , and even before that at secondary school, are repeated in my present work.To make an instrument or to do carving and marquetry you need detailed drawings and measurements to work from.The drawings on show include the following samples ;
The" exploded"drawing of machine parts in pencil was done with the encouragement of my technical graphics teacher in secondary school. The other "exploded" drawing is of a central heating boiler/ assembly done for a company I worked for. Any drawings such as these, and also the construction drawings for an X ray machine , are now done on computer with CAD. Just a note on that trend,
I think that not to understand the skills and principles involved in doing these drawings , and to blindly accept the computer screen version, is somehow a loss to students in the present day. The computer does indeed speed up the process , automatically corrects mistakes and It also includes calcullations relating to material strenght etc. In other words, pull out the socket and many of these tasks become impossible for a lot of these new designers..No different than writing down or remembering a phone nr nowadays…it's all stored in your mobile phone, so it allows you to "forget"?
The full size line drawings of harps, mandola and viol are done to produce accurate measurements for making templates used in marking the wood for cutting.
Likewise, to make a boat you need to be able to work out floating lines and displacement ; to do this, I use a centuries old way of shaping a hull ,which I re-discovered unknown to myself. It involves shaping a "half" hull and then presenting it against a mirror to show the complete view. The resulting cross sections allow you to work out displacements and volumes needed for the design calcullations. There are some beautifull old excamples of this method in the maritime museum in Antwerp. They say that if a boat looks pleasing to the eye, it will sail well! The photograph shows the end result of a sailing boat designed in such a way when launching in Teelin Co Donegal.
The oil paintings are attempts to find either a ballance or structure within the confines of the canvas. It's all about learning to cope with and achieving a degree of "mastering" the chosen medium and technique. In some of these I use the brush , in others a flat pallet knife or piece of wood- veneer. Paint can be laid down and gathered up again, put in a different place or mixed with another layers. There is no specific top or bottom for these, so they can be hung in any orientation.
The large drawings are excercises from a short refresher course I did in life drawing from a model a few years ago at the national gallery in Dublin. I really enjoyed the short "immersion" after a long break from tutored drawing in the company of other people with the same approach to visual arts.
The wooden "plugs" are to make glass fibre "female" moulds to reproduce the original wooden shape. Wood can only be bent in one direction at the time. So to create a multy curved shape we can use a plyable medium such as glass fibre , paper or wood chips. It also negates the need for reinforcements to achieve internal structural strenght , as a curved shape has this by it's very nature.
The marquetry sample is to be glued on the back of a harp .It is done using the old technique by placing two contrasting layers of veneer together and cutting through both at the same time. This allows you to place the cut-out pieces from one layer in the corresponding spaces in the other layer. As they were cut on top of each other, they fit perfectly .It also produces two usable pieces of marquetry with a different back ground.
The samples of carving are made to produce rubber casts. They can then in turn be used to reproduce unlimited numbers of copies with wood flour and resins. This is often used in fireplace manufacture and picture frames with elaborate designs.
Some cartoons , posters and designs on display are from a long time ago… before , during and after art college. They aged well !(better than me?) Most of the works from that time however were given away at the time of making or didn't travel when I moved to Ireland in 1972, so I only have a small amount of what I produced still with me.
I hope you like the display on show and that you get something from it.Some items can be purchased on request such as the paintings , blueprints of original work drawings and photographs. From the sale I will donate 30 percent of the proceeds to Your chosen charity. Prices can be discussed for each piece.
I am available to teach any of the art or craft forms on display to induviduals or schools .I have ten years experience teaching at secondary level. I am also very interested to establish a school of excellence related to all these skills in Navan and would like to call on the local Enterprise board , council , VEC and locally elected representatives to think outside the usual box and give this sugestion some constructive thought…
When I arrived in Navan forty years ago, there were over thirty furniture manufacturers in the town doing all the skills including carving by hand and a working sawmills…all have disappeared and with that, the skills aquired over generations. It would be nice to put Navan back on the map for these skills and generate employment. Not hundreds of jobs , but a few at the time , like many raindrops can make a flood…
thank you for attending

Spring Street has been closed between Speedwell and Martin Luther King avenues for Friday afternoon's anticipated heavy showers, out of concerns that a partially collapsed structure on Spring Street might experience further problems, police said.
"Construction officials are concerned that the heavy rain we are about to experience could cause the damaged structure at 115 Spring St. to further collapse," said Lt. Stuart Greer. "Out of a concern for vehicle and pedestrian safety, the decision was made to close the roadway until this strong rain storm passes."
The officer added: "We expect this will cause traffic congestion and delays but want to ensure everyone is safe."
On Thursday, fire and rescue officials responded to the partial collapse of the snow-laden roof at a vacant car dealership on Spring Street. Part of the roof of a former video store next door also collapsed.

Hello out there,
I am developing a camera handling in JavaME. Now a got a 'funny' effect I do nevertheless do not want. On the device C7-00 the camera view is rotated 90 Degrees. On N97 Mini the camera view is shown correctly. In both cases the snapshot taken is in the correct orientation. I use the same Jar for both devices.
I am using portraitmodus only (Flag Nokia-MIDlet-App-Orientation is set to portrait). Removing this Flag solves the problem with the camera orientation, but I want to keep it, as the camera is only part of a bigger application which runs into graphical problems on rotations without it. So I could remove it and fix the graphical problems in the rest of the application wihch will cost quiet a lot of time. Any better solutions?
Here the code to initialize the VideoControl.
Code:private void initMyPlayer() throws IOException, MediaException, SecurityException, Exception { mPlayer = null; mPlayer = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video"); mPlayer.realize(); // Grab the videocontrol and set it to the current display mVideoControl = null; mVideoControl = (VideoControl) (mPlayer.getControl("VideoControl")); if (mVideoControl == null) { throw new Exception("Couldn't create VideoControl"); } mVideoControl.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_DIRECT_VIDEO , MyMIDlet.mCanvas); mVideoHeight = mVideoControl.getSourceHeight(); mVideoWidth = mVideoControl.getSourceWidth(); mVideoControl.setDisplayLocation(0, 0); mVideoControl.setDisplaySize(mVideoWidth,mVideoHeight); mVideoControl.setVisible(true); mPlayer.start(); }

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2014 Honda CR-Z
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.8
The 2012 Honda CR-Z hybrid is a rather special car. In the great tradition of small Honda 2-seaters, the CR-Z hybrid offers a fun, fuel- efficient way to get around. The 2012 Honda CR-Z bristles with flashes of the legendary CRX, with a cozy cabin built for two and big hatchback that opens to a roomy cargo hold. But, unlike the gasoline-only CRX, the 2012 Honda CR-Z hybrid relies on a hybrid gas/electric setup to achieve its miserly fuel consumption figures. As a commuter car, the CRX was very affordable, and its lightweight body and sporty suspension made it a blast to drive. The CR-Z hybrid isn't as lightweight as its predecessor, but it is fun to drive and is filled with a host of safety and electronic goodies the CRX never had. Also, the CR-Z is the only hybrid we know of that has a manual transmission. There are more efficient hybrids out there, and there are even some non-hybrid cars that can match the CR-Z's fuel consumption (think Hyundai Elantra and VW Golf TDI diesel), but if you're looking for that classic Honda styling and bulletproof reputation, or if you were once a CRX owner and just want a little taste of the past in a more modern form, the 2012 Honda CR-Z is a car worth getting to know.
If you're seeking a hybrid car that is fun to drive, doesn't look like a hybrid car and is filled with cool features, the 2012 Honda CR-Z is really the only game in town.
If you just want a fun-to-drive second car, the MINI Cooper or Mazda Miata MX-5 is a much better choice. If you sometimes need to carry more than one passenger, the CR-Z can't accommodate, and if you're solely in the hybrid market for the fuel economy, both the Insight and the Prius are more fuel efficient than the 2012 Honda CR-Z hybrid.
The only significant change for the 2012 Honda CR-Z hybrid is the addition of available black cloth seats on cars wearing Crystal Black Peal paint.
Driving Impressions If you owned a CRX and are expecting the same nimble, athletic performance in the CR-Z, you'll be sadly disappointed. However, The CR-Z is still a great car for long...drives as well as quick inner-city commutes. Acceleration is fairly strong, thanks in part to the electric motor's assist, which comes in the form of pure torque, and the CR-Z's handling and braking are light-years beyond any hybrid we've driven. With Honda's 3-mode system, the car can be set to an efficiency-friendly Econ mode, a balanced Normal mode or a responsive Sport mode allowing for a custom driving experience. Accelerator-pedal response is dampened and the steering feel is lighter in Econ mode, while Sport mode makes the steering feel tighter and acceleration quicker for a "sportier" drive.
Sporty Aesthetics
The 2012 Honda CR-Z hybrid's design is futuristic and aggressive, and we can only hope that it's a glimpse into what Honda has in store for products to come.
6-speed Manual Transmission
Although it comes with a fuel mileage penalty, we liked the crisp shifts and close ratios of the standard 6-speed transmission.
Where all hybrid cars have additional gauges and playful readouts that make them a bit more futuristic, the 2012 Honda CR-Z hybrid's cockpit looks like something from a 3-D sci-fi movie. No need to worry, though, because in typical Honda style all of the CR-Z's controls are logically placed and easy to understand and operate. We particularly like the placement of the climate and Sport/Normal/Econ controls so close to the steering wheel. The radio is a bit of a reach; however, if you go with the available voice-activated navigation, you can just speak commands or activate the iPod integration controls from the steering wheel. Straight ahead are the glowing instruments that include an analog tachometer wrapped around a digital speedometer that changes its background color depending on the mode (Sport/Normal/Econ) selected. There is also a gauge to let you monitor the hybrid powertrain's activity and tell you how efficiently you are driving. As for comfort, the 2012 Honda CR-Z hybrid's sport seats are nicely bolstered and very comfortable, but the shiny silver fabric covering them may not be to everyone's liking. Unfortunately, Honda does not offer a leather seat option, and only cars painted black can be outfitted with black cloth seats.
Some may see the 2012 Honda CR-Z as a coupe version of the Insight or the rebirth of the CRX, but however you look at it, the CR-Z is like nothing Honda has ever built before. Designed using a "one motion wedge" concept, the CR-Z is very un-hybrid looking, and actually appears a bit sinister. From its trapezoidal wide-mouth grille to its half-glass rear hatch, the CR-Z's exterior seems to flow in one, continuous line as though carved from a single steel billet.
The 2012 Honda CR-Z hybrid has a standard 122-horsepower, 1.5-liter gasoline/electric hybrid powertrain and a 6-speed manual transmission. As for interior amenities, the base CR-Z is pleasantly well equipped with convenient features, including a 160-watt, 6-speaker audio system with auxiliary and USB inputs, steering wheel-mounted controls, automatic climate control, automatic headlights and remote keyless entry. Safety features include six airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS) and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA).
In addition to an available Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with paddle shifters, the 2012 Honda CR-Z hybrid also offers a higher EX trim level that adds an upgraded 360-watt sound system with seven speakers, foglights, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, Bluetooth, HID headlights, foot-well lights, alloy pedals, heated power mirrors and illuminated vanity mirrors. A navigation system is optional.
The gasoline/electric powertrain comprises a 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine mated to a 10-kilowatt motor, combining to deliver 122 horsepower. This combination is the sixth iteration of Honda's Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) technology since its debut in the original Honda Insight for the 2000 model year. While 122 horsepower might not sound like much, the broad torque band makes freeway passing and darting through intersections easy. One feature we did not care for was the auto-stop feature, which is a fuel-saving measure that turns off the engine at a complete stop, but also causes a slightly annoying hesitation upon restarting.
1.5-liter gasoline engine with Integrated Motor Assist
122 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
128 lb-ft of torque @ 1,000-1,750 rpm (manual); 123 lb-ft of torque @ 1,000-2,000 rpm (CVT)
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 31/37 (manual), 35/39 (CVT)

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"This car is a bit of a stumper. I've owned around twenty cars over my driving career, and this is certainly up there for my favorites. As every review you'll likely read will mention (and your sales person surely ought to), this is positioned as a sports hybrid. Okay... Step one: buy the 6-speed manual. Buying the CVT means you don't care about sporty. At that point, you're throwing away one of the best features of this car, and a great deal of its raison d'etre (sorry for lack of accents...)- a wonderful, Honest-to-God Honda manual transmission. They really are some of the best in the business. Skip the CVT, or go buy a Prius, Insight, etc. They're much more efficient, plus can seat 3-5 people! The shifter could use a bit more weight to be excellent, but it still is superb. The clutch, too, could use a bit more firmness (a heavy-duty pressure plate would be a nice upgrade down the road), but otherwise, this is an excellent combination for anything but a racetrack. Step two: Forget much of the sport. This car has a combined rating of 130 BHP. This is a momentum car- if you're used to passing at will (as I was, coming out of an upgraded '13 Focus ST, with a 300 WHP '11 WRX before that), forget it. Planning is a must. However, if you maintain momentum, particularly in hilly terrain, this car comes alive (again, 6-speed!). One thing I must say is that after letting the engine break in for the first 1,000 miles (no heavy abuse, nothing north of 4,000 RPM, etc. [NOTE: Honda does NOT recommend or require a break-in period. It is not even mentioned in the owner's manual at all! This is entirely a self-imposed regimen to ensure maximum reliability]), between 1,200 miles and now, the engine feels noticeably more lively. As engines break in, they often gain a bit of power and efficiency, albeit only a small amount. On the other side of sport is braking and handling. On both of these, the CR-Z lets you down. The brake pads are decidedly not aggressive enough, leaving you wanting more even in moderate driving. They always get the job done, but only just. The suspension suffers from being largely carried over from the Fit Sport (the CR-Z can truly be considered the Fit Coupe Hybrid, as many parts are carried over unchanged), which is at least 100 pounds lighter. This means that the damping and spring rates are soft in the CR-Z, leaving a bit too much body roll, but without the benefit of a softer ride. Better shocks/struts are a must-do if you want to really get the most out of this car on a backroad or track! Step three: Forget ultra-efficiency. Let's face the elephant in the room- the CR-Z gets decidedly unimpressive fuel economy numbers. A 1.0L, 3-cylinder Fiesta will handily beat the CR-Z's fuel economy, practicality, and many other traits, while saving ~$6K+. Driving the car aggressively, but with an extremely smooth foot, I'm averaging 40.8 MPG on country roads (I actually went up 0.2 MPG switching to Sport mode full-time, likely due to my very attentive and aggressive driving style. While certainly not a hyper-miler, I have a tendency to get great fuel economy, likely due to preserving momentum). My last tank included a fair bit of A/C use due to heavy rains here in NY, and only dropped that number to 40.7, but of course, your mileage WILL vary. All this on NY 87 octane with ~10% ethanol, so higher numbers are certainly possible in those states fortunate enough to not have corn in their fuel. Also, the engine is still breaking in (I only have ~1,800 miles on it so far), so this should improve a bit. Step four: Forget practicality. Despite being a hatchback, the CR-Z is still (gasp!) a three door. The rear "seats" (they are actually usable and belted in other markets, but not in the U.S.) offer a bit of usable space, and if the divider is folder, they are covered, making for some hiding space for some goodies. The hatch area is deep, but putting taller objects in there will hurt what little rearward visibility this car has. Thankfully, a rearview camera is now standard on the CR-Z (it wasn't in '11-12), which helps. However, rear quarter visibility is still pretty poor (Holy blind spots, Batman!), so be careful when changing lanes in traffic! Step five: remember, it's a Honda! There's a reason that I love this car. It's quirky, but in a good way. For all its flaws and drawbacks, it's still an excellent car. It's a Honda, so I expect it to remain that way for a long time. Driven well, it's easy to keep speed up, even in hills, and it's rather tossable, despite very underwhelming tires (they're great on the Fit Sport, but less-than-stellar on the CR-Z. Extra weight, again?), and surprisingly good fun. The interior fit and finish is excellent, and the instrument cluster is very cool while being very easy to read. The lighting scheme is neat, and effective (although, as I said, I just leave mine in Sport mode now)- in Normal or Eco modes (stay out of Eco- it's a waste of time), the ring around the speedometer changes colors between green and blue, depending on the efficiency of your driving style. The shift indicator arrows mercifully disappear in sport mode (a constant annoyance in the Focus- they would appear mid-corner and distract the driver's eyes from the road- unacceptable in a sports-oriented car!), but are much more reasonable and unobtrusive than in many other cars. The seats are very comfortable. My one gripe is that the rear-"seat" access tab is on the driver's seat (???) instead of the passenger side, which seems like an omission in the transition from right-hand drive to left-hand. A minor gripe, but if you need to access the back regularly, it's a bit annoying. Also, the latch for the hatch area hangs low, so taller users (I'm 6'0") WILL hit their heads on it with some regularity. You've been warned... I happen to have the EX with navigation (and 6-speed, of course!), so a few notes on that: The navigation system is surprisingly good. Having dealt with many other brands' navigation systems, this is up there as one of the best (top two are this and those in the new Kia vehicles, believe it or not!). The load time is excellent, even in VERY rural areas, like where I live. The voice recognition does fine with my voice, despite a bit of an Irish brogue. The introductory speech that the system gives after pressing the voice command button is infuriating, however, as it takes several seconds (5+), meaning I usually end up using my fingers instead, negating any benefit. The touchscreen is very responsive, although the graphics/color schemes available are not very engaging, nor do they match the IP's colors very well. The HID low beams are nice, but the high beams and fog lights could use a bit more wattage, but this is an easy upgrade if you deem it necessary (aftermarket HID and LED kits are available). The OE sound system is very good, although the equalizer control for bass does not seem to do much in terms of subwoofer output. Sound quality is pretty darn good for a stock system. One last thing I have noticed is that the S+ "push-to-pass" button does not seem to do anything. There is zero discernible power/torque increase. I really think that it does not do anything. Oh well... Anyway, I love the car. It's a great, quirky car for this quirky man. If you like it on the test drive, and the payments work for you, and you can deal with the quirks and oddities, buy it! You won't regret it."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 6,600overall rating 9 of 10rating details
Pros: "Fuel efficient, fun to drive, great stylin"
Cons: "doors swing really wide."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"If you are researching this car like I did, you have probably read many mediocre reviews. But the concept of a "sport hybrid" really got my attention, so I took it for a test drive anyway. And I'm glad I did. I owned a 2009 VW Passat with a 2.0 turbo, 5 seats and 200 hp. It was a great car but the maintenance got expensive for the German engineering. So I set out to shop for a new vehicle. I was looking for a car that is fun to drive, great on gas mileage, and something more reliable than the Germans. What would fit the bill better than a sport hybrid from Honda? Most online editor reviews are written by captain obvious. I KNOW it is a 2 seater. I KNOW it's not a sport car. I KNOW it is a small car. And I can care less about the specs. What I really care about is how I feel when I drive it. And that was the reason I bought it. Let's start with the exterior. It is totally a personal preference. I think the CR-Z looks very sporty and futuristic. LED running light and HID headlights really add to the styling. Growing up in the 80s and 90s, CR-Z really reminds me of the old CR-X that i couldn't afford in high school. The interior. The gauges looks like something out of a Sci Fi movie. It is very futuristic which match the the theme of the car. Although I found the instrument panel was a little busy at first, I got used to it after a day of driving and found Honda really put in some thought into it. While the design of the car makes you want to drive it like a formula one, the color changing gauge and information display really motivate you to be fuel efficient without being annoying. The layout of the dash, from the AC to the sound system, is very intuitive overall. The passenger compartment is am lot roomier than the exterior may suggest. For me, I drive by myself 90% of the time, 10% with my girlfriend or a friend, and I don't remember the last time a human being sitting in the backseat of my old car. Cargo room is plenty on the CR-Z. I manage to put a large north face duffle bag, a messenger bag, and some random stuff in the back with room to spare. A week worth of groceries is definitely not an issue. The seat while being bucket style, offer good support and comfort. Performance. It all depends on your expectations. For me, I was looking for a fun commuter. Coming from a full size turbo charged sedan, the CR-Z does not feel underpowered at all... when you put it in Sport mode. 130 horse power may sound really boring but with the assist of the electric motor, the car feels a lot faster than you may expect. The electric motor almost gives it a turbo like feeling at the traffic light. When you put it in sport mode, it feels like a totally different car. The steering tightens up, the motor revs up a lot quicker, and even the exhaust note got throatier and it doesn't sound out of breath at high RPM. My commute consist of about 10-15 minutes of twisty back road and driving my car in sport mode really make my daily commute a little more fun. Driving in normal mode, the car almost feel like cheap sedan like a Versa, or Yaris. It's very fuel efficient in normal or eco mode, but very boring. I can only recommend using it in heavy traffic or long highway stretch. The suspension is tight but adequately soaks up potholes. There is very little body roll during cornering, well, at least compare to a sedan. It's just fun enough for everyday driving. Fuel efficiency. I have no idea how some reviews reported only 20s in city and 30s on highway. They must beat the heck out of their demos. I like to drive fast and I get consistently 32-34 mpg local and at least 46 on the highway. All I can say is, you got to know what you want. If you want a 2 seater pure sport car buy a miata. If you want to save the planet by getting 50+ mpg, get a prius. If you are like me, want to save gas while still have fun driving, CR-Z is perfect for you. Speaking of the miata, I think both are quite similar in terms of handling and power. Of course, CR-Z is a lot more practical and fuel efficient."

Well now I spend half the money and use the money I was spending on gas for a car payment. Think smart people. I still have my 2003 CRV cus I love it and have never had any issues with it. The CR-Z rides nice and I zip to work and home. Best value for a Hybrid. I love the look and feel of the car. Cant go wrong with a Honda.."

Flashback one week to day two of the best Draft party ever. A three day orgy of Madden 2010, alcohol and ESPN. Well worth flying 2000 miles across country to attend. The 49ers are on the clock and Taylor Mays is on the board, I make the call.
"They're going to take Mays"
Agent Luna replies "They already have Goldson and Lewis who are basically both Strong Safeties, why would they take Mays?, they need a free safety."
"Well, we both think they should make Clements a FS and move Goldson to SS, but that's not what they want to do, I don't think they care if they have a FS, they just want big athletic Strong Safeties."
And with the 49th pick of the NFL draft the San Francisco 49ers select Taylor Mays..
At the time I was pretty happy. Not only did the 49ers select another elite athlete and the guy with the most scary size/speed combination in the draft, but also (and more importantly) that I got to be right again (I called the Iupati pick too.
After reading Barrows Article where he interviews Trent Baalke I realized that I wasn't far off on the reason for drafting Mays either:
There's been a lot written and said about the 49ers' sticking Mays "in the box" so that he's a quasi linebacker. Baalke said the objective is for both safeties to be able to play deep and close to the line of scrimmage. "We want mirror guys back there," he said. "We don't want them (the offense) to know who's going to be low and who's going to be high. The more balanced you are, the more deceptive you can be in your game plan."
Baalke could have just said that the 49ers want to use two strong safeties, but I'll give him a pass, he's new to the GM job and is trying to sound extra strategic. Assuming the 49ers start Goldson and Mays, they will be one of the biggest and hardest hitting safety tandems in league history (if anyone knows of a bigger safety tandem, post it). Will it work?, neither of them is known for their man-coverage skills, but both are an upgrade over Michael Lewis (Michael Lewis lost a footrace with Joe Nedney in practice on a bet). Mays has excelled in Cover 2 where his strait line speed allows him to make up ground on open receivers.
I think the success of the two strong safety formula hinges on pass rush because not having either safety with "strong in man coverage" on their resumes could give QBs an easy target. I think we'll see a lot of situations where the 49ers blitz one safety and let the other play center field, minimizing their exposure in man coverage (basically a 46 defense except the offense won't know which safety is staying on the line). This will put a lot of pressure on the 49ers corners and nickel back, but corner play was an area of strength last year with Shawnte Spencer staying healthy and performing at a high level.

May 22, 2007 -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says Moscow will withdraw from a key arms treaty if NATO members do not ratify the pact.
May 22, 2007
Lavrov made his comments ahead of talks today in Vienna with his Austrian counterpart, Ursula Plassnik.
Only four countries -- Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine -- have ratified the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty, which limits military deployments across Europe.
NATO members say they will ratify the treaty when Russia meets commitments it made to withdraw its forces from Georgia and Moldova.

Caption Diss: French Montana's Bad Boy Move Really Blows
Tuesday, Dec 13, 2011 12:05AM
For Caption Diss, the good ol' folks at SOHH are back at it giving y'all, my loyal doggies, a chance to capture the final word(s). The "Best We've Ever Read" headline gets to hold down that Cap Diss crown for a whole week. Who run it?
LOL!!! French Montana actually did the unthinkable. Now keep in mind doggies, y'all know I rep that BX but how did French Montana really turn down a chance to sign with Jay-Z, Kanye West and Rick Ross? LOL. I mean, for Puff Daddy? LOL!!! It's like Joe Johnson signing with the Atlanta Hawks in 2005. Yeah, doggy is in the playoffs now but it took three years for anything to pop off. I "guess" things will pop off later down the road but when you got a chance to be on anything that has Jay-Z/Kanye West/Rick Ross attached to it? SMH. Maybe French Montana is realizing his decision and instead of shooting himself in the foot....LOL. Seriously doggies, what's going on right here? Hmmmm.............
SMH. Doggies, y'all acted like the Pistons last season when doggies goofed off and coach played only six, seven players. SMH. Come on, y'all doggies came soft (PAUSE) on those disses. Jay-Z? Beyonce? Ahhhh, doggies. Come on! LOL! Sorry, @D, but your Cap Diss was CORNY! LOL. Congrats on winning though.... SMH.
Aight doggies, holiday shopping season is officially on and popping, so why not get it started with a laugh? LOL. Some Ciroc and a French Montana mixtape? LOL. Y'all know how we get down in here. Think 'em, diss 'em, ink 'em and submit 'em into the comments section by Monday, December 19th!

LAGRANGE — Yancey Painter is the new director of Ark Animal Sanctuary in LaGrange.
Working with and for dogs most of her life, Painter joins the staff from a local pet store as the manager for the grooming department.
"I have not seen such passionate people when it comes to helping animals as I have seen at Ark," Painter said. "This is what drew me to the job. I want to work with those people who have the same desire and passion I have. Making life better for an animal, to give it a second chance is a win-win situation for both dog and owner. Ark has gone so far in such a short time it will be interesting to see how much further we can all go together."
Painter hopes to educate on the importance of spaying, neutering and dog ownership.
"Any change for the positive is a good change," she said. "If I reach only one person that one person will reach another and so on. Ark gives animals a chance that would never have happened for them."

I am an ecologist, writer, artist, and storyteller. These interests support each other in my understanding of the world around us. Science and art have the same roots—observation. In the science of ecology, we try to prove hypotheses related to ecological principles and what we observe. In art, I use pencil, pen, brush, or needle and thread to document observations to express how I feel or what I see. Stories written and told orally are means for me to express my sense of awe and wonder that I find in nature and the world around me.
WILDFLOWER CLASSES: I have experience in teaching classes in wildflower identification to the novice wildflower enthusiast. Classes have been at the College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe, NM, University of New Mexico, Los Alamos branch, Pajarito Environmental Education Center, and Ghost Ranch.
NATURE JOURNALING: I have taught journaling classes to both adult and children. Nature or travel journals provide a means of documenting observations and memories.
QUILTING: I like to express my love of nature through my quilts. Textures and patterns in quilts can help express a sense of wonder about patterns or specific images in nature. I have taught classes about depicting flowers and birds in quilts. Although I have done traditional quilts, I prefer art quilting.
FIRE ECOLOGY: Much of my career was in studying the recovery of the landscape after fire. I have given many talks related to fire ecology and forest recovery after fire in Los Alamos and other communities. Since our community has been impacted by wildfire a number of times, I have given talks about the grief process that goes along with landscape loss, effect of fire on a community, and the recovery process.
STORYTELLING: I use storytelling in classrooms, sermons, workshops, and retreats. I prefer small groups such as individual classrooms where the teaching element of storytelling can be further expressed. The purpose of my storytelling is to connect people with nature and all that is around them.
LITURGICAL QUILTS and RETABLOS: I like to depict spiritual images through quilting and retablo painting.
SHOWS: My artwork has been shown at Fuller Lodge Art Center, Los Alamos, Northern New Mexico Art Center in Espanola, and La Mesa Public Library, Los Alamos, Los Alamos Historical Museum, Los Alamos.

Problem: when I tweet the post from list page (portfolio) it tweets the link to the list page, not to the post page.
On the other hand, when I twee from post page the link is to the post page). And it is ok.
Is it possible to tweet posts with direct links from main list page or not?
Hi, thank you for purchasing our theme.
There is only tweet for standard post in list page.
Did you mean all posts in listpage tweet the list page's link not for the post self link?
Hi! I have the theme and I love it but one problem… the website it not showing correctly on all forms of Safari for me. And i've tried it on multiple computers. It works perfect in Firefox just not Safari- which is an issue because it's the most used. Please help! Thank you. PS my website im building on is www.Twigglet.com
Hi, thank you for purchasing our theme
I tested your site in safari mac/pc, it's fine, but there is position problem(Screenshot: http://d.pr/i/LWkO ) in http://twigglet.com/?page_id=755 , i think it's because some posts without thumbs.
If this is not what you said the problem, could you send a screenshot to email@example.com
Regards! Fan
There's a item mask bug in (DEMO) HOME > TUMBLR STYLE LIST
Try the sequence:
1) click and open the first image in the top left
2) close the first image in the top left
2) click on the sub-category DESIGN
3) click on the sub-category FOOD
4) click on "All"
Thanks for reporting the bug, we'll fix it as soon.
Hi, I'm loving the theme but I have a few requests. Please advise if these options can be added to the theme to make it more admin user friendly and time saving.
1. Please, please add an ajax gallery slider option for the gallery posts. If an ajax gallery is to time consuming then please add a gallery of some sort for gallery posts. This is almost a necessity for photographers, designers, or artists that have more than say 3-4 images. I have a few galleries that have 10-15 images that represent an event and I would prefer to have a slider to show those images it just makes it easier for the visitor.
2. When I add images to a gallery post and then add a featured image the featured image is being added to the gallery of images and it should not be because it is a different size and this allows me to get the full effect of Tumbler style list because I have re-sized images for each gallery post solely for the purpose of using them as featured images only so they will give me the full effect of the Tumblr list style. What is happening is the smaller featured images are being added to the gallery post which makes it look horrible. If you don't have the time to do it can you tell me where to go and what code to add or remove that will allow me to separate the featured images from the gallery images so when I upload a featured image it is not shown in the gallery? Gallery and featured images need to be separated.
3. Please add the functions for the full-screen slider to the admin area as most other themes have done, i.e. transition type, fit portrait, fit landscape, transition time etc…if a person that is fairly new to WP purchases the theme it will be easier for them to move around because a lot of people do not know how to go into code and change things. Please keep in mind that everyone that wants to purchase or does purchase your theme is not WP savvy. Therefore make it easier for everyone, this will also increases sales.
4. What file would I need to edit to add a Pinterest icon and link for the gallery images where the Facebook like, Google + and Twitter icons are? Considering this theme is for featuring images, I feel gallery posts should have a Pinterest icon attached to them or the option to add it as well.
5. Is there a way to add a featured image that will show on list page with the other gallery images like the Tumblr and link to a full screen gallery.
Other than the above mentioned items the theme is great. I really love it but would love to see the mentioned improvements or additions.
Dear successmatters,
Thanks so much for your so..many good suggestions, we'll consider to add them (step by step) to our todo list for the upcoming updates.
Thanks again, we'll try our best to make a good UX for the users.

Dear Friend,
I've purchased your amazing theme, but i'm unable to activate it. I follow all the instructions (installation via FTP or Wordpress Admin), and when i'm going to activate it…the admin wordpress dashboard blocks and the blog gets unavailable. I only have four plugins installed: Jetpack, wp-super cache, akismet and Google XML sitemaps.
Any ideia? Regards,
Hi Ajfiel,
I'm not sure which plugin the theme conflicts with, maybe you need to stop these plugins and try again, sorry for that.
I'm unable to open posts on an iPad – I get the preloaded when I click on a thumbnail, and the space expands as if it will open, then it shuts back. Your demo works fine though—any idea what could be causing this?
Hi Rnrbt,
Yes, its a bug, we are working on it.
Now you could try to activate the "Share buttons in content page" to avoid this bug temporarily.
We'll email you when the bug has been fixed.
Sorry for the inconvenient.
Best Regards.
Would it be possible to add type underneath post titles (like subtype), besides the text that automatically gets inserted after pictures?
Hi Rnrbt,
Sorry do you mean in post page, or list page? What kind of subtype? do you have a example for the requirement?
I love this theme and am considering purchasing, but I'm a bit confused as to the structure of it. The demo makes it appear as though there can only be one gallery, and that each thumbnail links only to a specific image, but the screenshots suggest that it's possible to have multiple galleries with multiple images (http://themeforest.net/theme_previews/2952825-fashionic-portfoliomagazine-wordpress-theme?index=2) I keep expecting to be able to click on an image and then see, perhaps, a scroll bar or something…
Is anyone working with this theme who might be able to post a link to give me (and others, maybe) a clearer idea of what the screenshot looks like in real life?
I'm a photographer and I need to be able to post multiple galleries containing multiple images that can be paginated or scrolled through.
Also, does the fullscreen slider link to specific galleries? And does it accommodate portrait and landscape images?
Thanks! Beautiful theme.
Hi FaithMichele,
Thanks for interest.
1. There could be multiple galleries, for every list page, you could select a category to show.
2. There are 4 formats for the post: Standerd, Gallery, Audio, Video. The gallery list is to show the Gallery Format Posts, you could upload multiple images, the last one would be show in the list block.
3. Every slide in Fullscreen Slider could be linked to a specific url, so it could be a gallery list page, a static page, a post, or a url from other site.
Best Regards.
Hi, i can´t get this installed in WP- i always get this info: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare is_vimeo() (previously declared in /mnt/webf/b3/46/53148046/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/featured-video/featured-video.php:225) in /mnt/webf/b3/46/53148046/htdocs/wp-content/themes/fashionic/functions.php on line 379
Could you help me? email@example.com
Thanks for purchasing the theme, maybe you need to stop the plugins and try again.

Hi is it possible to display ads on this theme?
Hi, ironandleather,
Not yet by now, but we plan to test some plugins to support ads.
Thanks for interest,
There are a few plugins that I use (newsletter signup, facebook (to post to my fanpage, cms, password protected pages, etc) .. can this theme be used with plugins? Is it searchable? Is there pagination ?
I like the theme but I am not seeing any clean (image only) posts in the TUMBLR STYLE LIST as per the demo. I am seeing post titles and text. I want to replicated the demo. Can you assist pls?
Hi, thank you for purchasing our theme.
You could import the demo data(Fashionic.theme.wordpress.demo.data.xml in main.zip you downloaded) by "Tools / Import / Wordpress".
Or, to create a list page like the Tumblr Style List (http://goo.gl/M8awA) as the demo, you could:
Edit the page, Template: Select the "List page" Layout: select "Portfolio" Gallery Posts Thumbnail Scale: "Original"

I'm seeing issues in the demo with safari 6.01, when you click on a post it doesn't expand and move the other posts around it completely, it gets obscured like so: http://cl.ly/image/3r2b062p0g1L please advise.
Thanks for the reminder, we will examine this issue.
I like the theme but i can's seem to find a way to display the images in the gallery like the ones in your preview. I looked through your documentation and it's not very helpful. Can you please respond with a way to make this possible?! thank you.

Thanks for the quick response… Now, I've come across another problem but I'm sure its been resolved and i just don't know how. in the mobile version the social icons are covering the logo..how can i fix this.. both on Ipad or iphone.
thanks !
Hi, we'll move the social icons to footer in mobile device in next version.
Your last response of " we'll move the social icons to footer in mobile device in next version" is really no help I like many other people used your QR code to test your mobile side of the site and did not see this problem ? Obviously there is something wrong here what is it? http://www.uiueux.com/wp/fashionic/
First of all, we want to ensure that a common theme, social icons on the top is really not a good choice.The beginning we did not take into account the height of the logo, whether to use the slider, and so some of the problems.So there is no problem to see demo website.
Hi; Just downloaded the theme and activated it. I don't see any custom post types on my admin bar. The menu manager says the theme does not support any menus. Any ideas? Thanks KP
Never mind, I figured it out..
Hi; Text like "All" and "Search" don't seem to be localizable in your theme. Is it possible for you to use gettext calls for all text so I can build my mo file? Thanks KP
HI, thank you for purchasing our theme.
The theme's texts are almost in po/mo file, and some in theme option – general label.
Could you send me a mail to email@example.com, i'll send you the latest mo/po file.
Best, Fan
I have a request for supporting shortcode for Quotes in your theme. I have moved from ElegantThemes and am using their plugin which helps me take the shortcode support to any other theme, but still I can't see quotes working in any of my posts. ex url: http://anubimb.com/blog/2011/03/supermoon-sunday/ There are many texts between the shortcode "
". Would really appreciate the support of this shortcode. Thanks.
This is a good idea, we'll consider to add it.
I am a bit disappointed. Theme options page don't work at all, no uploading logo nor changing skin color etc..Every color changing box has broken image.. I have wordpress 3.4.2 and installed theme through wordpress. Also the shortcode insertion don't work.
