The actual moves I would make are at the bottom.
I'm absolutely in love with Clowney. There I got that out of the way, now let me explain why the prospect of drafting Clowney keeps me up at night. Most people would point at our existing personnel and see a depth chart loaded to the tits at the front 7. That most people happens to include me, I haven't completely lost it yet. However while I see several players who have the potential to become top 5 at their position, and a few who already are, I would argue that in this day and age controlling the front seven has actually become more important not less. While everyone argues that this is a passing league (and it certainly has trended that way) the assumption that we should defend the passing attack with corners and safeties, while cetainly plausible, is not an approach I favor. So I'm going to try and put together the crazy moves that would have to occur to land us Clowney. First let me explain why (skip the next paragraph if you don't really care about my reasoning and just want to see the silly moves I make to try and acquire this once a decade talent.)
Defending via the secondary often involves conceding the dink and dunk passes that the west coast offense, and other accuracy position based passing attacks can take advantage of. For instance against a team like green bay, with a quarterback who's going to be able to put the ball where only his receiver has a chance to make a play on it we can get torn up. In addition the quarterbacks we face are also developing scrambling potential, and so controlling the line of scrimmage is no longer an option. (See Russell Wilson, RG3, Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers) As a result I like to see our defensive line become the dominant force, effective at not just stuffing holes, but blowing through them. While we currently have a group of great run stuffers, I think a second Justin Smith Mountain opposite the man, (and yes I think that's what Clowney can developed into) would complete our defense. Giving us a second guy who demands double teams at the line would make our defense unstoppable. Here's what I think it would take feel free to add your own speculation or who you would rather take with a high draft pick in the next round.
For reference here are the draft picks our team has for 2014:
49ers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
Chiefs: 2 or 3
Titans: 3
Comp: 3 or 4
Panthers: 7
First I have to admit that if we're going after Clowney we're probably going to have to see some of our current Defensive front depart, or not pan out so here's what I predict leaving (no bad mojo intended).
1. Ray Mcdonald has a monster season, because Justin Smith has returned to full form and the aldon/justin smith duo is drawing 3 man blocking schemes, and still forcing the occasional assist from a running back. The national hype builds for Ray but unfortunately (or fortunately) our defensive staff knows some of it is overplayed, similarly to how we saw dashon and whitner's value sky rocket thanks to the front 7 play. Combined with some promising consistent play from our newly added depth (probably carradine) the front office feels comfortable and decides to capitalize on Using Ray for a trade piece.
2. Jonathan Goodwin traded for an additional 5th round pick (following dominant offensive line play goodwin retains a decent draft pick value, but the 49ers want to bring in kilgore and give the young guy the reins after another solid year of prep. We trade him to a team like the steeler's who just a established veteran to lead some new offensive linemen. Low 4th round pick. Frees up cap room for later signing assumptions.
3. Justin Smith while still dominant, definitely benefits hugely from having a rotation to spell him for once. Cowboy can bring more cowbell when he has a chance every once in a while to rest those legs, creating a definite market for another man to draw doubles.
4. Nnamdi pans out, or some other group of the db's pulls together a solid enough performance that the supposedly glaring need at cb and ss becomes more of a position of potential improvement. T. Brown resigns. Culliver fixes his rookie mistakes. Carlos Rodgers is traded for a 4th round pick, despite preforming at a high level because of contract issues, also freeing up cap room. Eric Reid while shaky to begin with, steps up to become a leader on defense. Front office decides it can go through one more year of Whitner, while it takes an athlete development type to fill in what is supposedly a deep draft at the position to fill the safety roll. The defensive backfield looks average, can maintain coverage through the initial routes and doesn't give up deep balls.
5. Lemon looks decent, reminiscent of Aldon's first year looks to be on track for development, LB core stays healthy, and one of the ILB back ups looks like he can play at Larry Grant's level. On the same track, running back duo of Kendall and James slowly takes time from Gore, the 3 become a solid triple threat. James shows more promise of durability with his added weight. One of the receiver's battling for that starting spot definitely deserves too be a #2, crab's comes back fully, and Boldin plays near is play-off form showing he still has enough in the tank for another year. Vance McDonald proves servicable and shows promise, combining with VD for over 1000 yards while still serve as a solid blocking duo. Enough of the rest of the team shows promise, acceptable levels of play that the team feels comfortable drafting development type players for these positions.
Ok I think that set's up the in house situation enough now for the league wide situation.
We know have the following trade pieces:
49ers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
Chiefs: 2 I'm going to assume chiefs go 8-8 in this dream scenario
Titan's: 3
Comp: 3 or 4
Panther's: 7
Roger's trade: 4
Ray MacDonald
We trade our 1st and a bundle of picks to get into the top 10 of the draft.
This is pricey and probably involves a trade with a rebuilding team. Think our 1st, 2nd, and 4th and the panther's 7th. Pretty significant chunk to any team.
We now have:
49ers: 8-10 overall, 3,5,6,7
Chiefs: 2
Titan's: 3
Comp: 3 or 4
Roger's trade: 4
Ray MacDonald
The first over-all draft pick goes to a team with an established defensive line with at least one potential pro bowler, who's comfortable trading down 4-5 spots.
Think teams with above average players at the position, like the Rams situation with Bradford last year. Potential Teams include (Ravens, Lions, Cardinals, Raiders, Texans). The Niners then trade the high first, the chief's 2nd, our 3rd and the 4th from roger's and I'm going to say Ray Mcdonald assuming its a team with only 1 dominant DT for that pick. If it's not switch Ray with the second round pick next year from above or another 2nd round pick. So basically 9th overall, 2 2nd rounds and 1 3rd round's, and a 4th for the 1st overall. (Note: I think this 1st has slightly less value than the rg3 1st.)
This leaves us
49ers: 1st overall ,5,6,7
Titan's 3rd
Comp: 3 or 4
Panthers: 7
Unknown Team: 4.
From this point I see the Niner's trading the 3rd and a 5th to get up into the 2nd round and draft a db or other position of need.

Brewers Acquire Felipe Lopez from Diamondbacks in Salary Dump
F. Lopez -2B-ARZ: Brewers acquire 2B Lopez from Arizona http://tinyurl.com/m3zas8— Rotoworld Baseball (@Rotoworld_BB) July 19, 2009
From multiple Twitter sources, including @RotoWorld_BB, the Diamondbacks today traded Felipe Lopez to the Brewers in exchange for minor leaguers Cole Gillespie (OF) and Roque Mercedes (P). Before the season, John Sickels ranked Gillespie as a C prospect, which means his expected future value is about $.5M since he's already 25. I can't find Mercedes in Erik's spreadsheets, so he's likely even less valuable, which you might expect given he's a 22 year old reliever in A+ ball. Felipe Lopez, well, he's going to make about $1.75M the rest of the way and can play a variety of infield positions. He just can't play them very well, with a career (well, since 2002) -11 UZR/150. Over 1/5 of the innings at 2B, he's actually been average, though, which is surprising given his play at short. If that holds and his wOBA the rest of the season is around .331, as ZiPS predicts, he's basically a league-average player, worth 1 WAR the rest of the way. Earning slightly below free agent value, traded for some nothing prospects, and considering the importance of the games the Brewers have left to play, acquiring Lopez is a solid move by Milwaukee. And given that the Diamondbacks have little to play for in 2009, this is a nice salary dump for them. As minor trades go, this is a good one for both sides. What do you think?

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Two people police say are connected to wanted suspect Daniel Reyna stand indicted for stealing guns.
A Lubbock County Grand Jury indicted Daniel Reyna's 20-year-old brother, Josue Reyna, Tuesday on three counts of stealing guns and one count of drug possession.
Three weeks ago, a Crime Line tip led Lubbock police to the home of Josue Reyna in the 300 block of 38th Street. Inside, officers found a stash of stolen property including 16 guns, cell phones, TVs, and power tools. Investigators also found a bullet proof vest and jackets belonging to the U.S. Border Patrol.
Police arrested Reyna and a woman, Melissa Barron, on drug possession charges. Barron was indicted for stealing guns, and drug possession also.
And the Grand Jury also indicted the man police say held up a Dollar General at gunpoint last month near 34th and Slide. Lashan Harvey, 20, is indicted for aggravated robbery and tampering with evidence.

Prices Byte by Dean Baker
For Immediate Release: September 19, 2007
Contact: Alan Barber, (202) 293-5380 x115
"The price of imports from China has risen at a 4 percent rate over the last quarter."
The core inflation rate was 0.2 percent in August driven by large increases in the cost of medical care and education. This is the third consecutive month that the core index has risen by 0.2 percent, bringing the annual rate of inflation in the core index over the last quarter to 2.5 percent. This is up slightly from a 2.1 percent rate over the last year. The overall CPI fell by 0.1 percent in August, driven by a sharp decline in energy prices. The overall index has grown at just a 0.7 percent rate over the last quarter, down from a 2.0 percent rate over the last year.
Medical care costs rose 0.5 percent in August following a 0.6 percent jump in July. They have risen at annual rate of 5.6 percent over the quarter, up from a 4.5 percent rate for the last year. Education costs also rose by 0.5 percent in August. They have risen at a 5.1 percent annual rate for the quarter, almost the same as the 5.5 percent rate over the last year.
On the low side, apparel prices fell by 0.5 percent in August, bringing the rate of price decline for this component over the last quarter to 2.8 percent. It is likely that apparel prices will rise slightly or at least flatten in the months ahead. Both rent indexes rose by 0.2 percent in August, with price increases held down by the glut in the housing market. The owners' equivalent rent index has risen at a 2.4 percent annual rate over the last quarter. The rent proper index, which includes utilities costs, has risen at a 2.9 percent annual rate.

On May 12, 2008, one of the deadliest earthquakes in history rocked Sichuan, China, with a magnitude of 9.2. Rescuers forcibly yanked a young woman from the rubble after she was trapped there for 26 hours with her legs crushed below the knee. This tragedy in China produced a national treasure, thanks in part to some people right here in Lubbock, who started that dream.
"The roof top broke in half, and we were trapped in the middle." "I couldn't hear my daughter crying, but my mother-in-law talked to me for nearly 10 hours."
She watched her baby die first, and then her mother -in- law as they waited to be rescued. All 47 people in the building were killed. Liao Zhi , or Jollie, was the only survivor: A mother without her only child; a dance teacher without both her legs. Two months later, Jollie was ready to pursue her dream.
"All my motivation comes from wanting to be the mother my daughter would be proud of." Jollie told KCBD that she practiced with her amputated limbs. At first she practiced on her hospital bed, and then later, she was lifted onto a giant drum where she created the drum dance. Audiences loved her determination, and her story of faith.
Randy Gallaway of Lubbock heard about Jollie, and identified with her struggles. "Forty-five years ago, I lost my right arm and left hand in an electrical accident."
Today, Randy is one of the founders of "Partners in Development Worldwide" It's a Christian charity, which provides disaster relief to China and other countries. This time, he partnered with Lubbock Artificial Limb, which offered to build and donate legs for Jollie.
Jason Phillips, from Lubbock Artificial Limb, said that this was the first bi-lateral below the knee. "I've heard she's already doing the splits. I'm anxious to see that."
Now that Jollie is very comfortable in her new legs, she was anxious to show us what she can do. These artificial legs have restored her confidence, renewed her dream, and already danced her story of suffering and triumph all over the world.
"So the reason I'm here is to say thank you to all those people who've helped me along the way."
Jollie says that she is thankful for another gift since the tragedy. "I really like what it says in the Bible." Since becoming a Christian two years ago, she has read the entire bible, and re-read her favorite scriptures countless times.
She takes her performance to a new level, and she says the Bible has given her the courage to move forward, for her daughter's sake. "Always the hope that I'll meet up with my daughter again in Heaven." "She's an angel."

HURON, S.D. (AP) - Huron is the latest city in South Dakota to ban texting while driving.
The ordinance approved by the City Commission on Monday night also encompasses distracted driving. Mayor Dave McGirr says that includes everything from eating pizza to reading a newspaper while driving. The ordinance also bars drivers with learners' permits from talking on a phone while driving.
The ordinance will go into effect sometime around the start of the new year, with police giving motorists a grace period while they become familiar with the new law. The fine for texting while driving will be $100, and the fine for distracted driving $15.

SOURCE Alaska Air Group
SEATTLE, June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Fitch Ratings initiated coverage on Alaska Air Group (NYSE: ALK) with a rating of BBB-. Air Group, the parent company of Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air, is one of only two U.S. airline companies to be rated investment grade.
"An investment grade credit rating affirms the work we have done to improve our business and strengthen our balance sheet," CFO Brandon Pedersen said. "We were particularly pleased that Fitch recognized our industry-leading operational performance and customer satisfaction scores. Our 13,000 Alaska and Horizon employees are dedicated to providing safe, reliable transportation and award-winning customer service on every flight, every day."
Fitch also noted the Company's dominant market position in the Pacific Northwest, loyal customer base, full-funded pension plans, improved cost structure and strong cash flow. The full Fitch Ratings press release is available at www.fitchratings.com.
Air Group announced its second two-for-one stock split on June 12, authorized a $650 million share repurchase in May and increased its quarterly dividend by 25 percent in February. Earlier this month, Alaska was recognized for the first time in Fortune magazine's list of the 500 largest companies in the United States.
Alaska Airlines, a subsidiary of Alaska Air Group (NYSE: ALK), together with its partner regional airlines, serves 100 cities through an expansive network in Alaska, the Lower 48, Hawaii, Canada and Mexico.

Planning & Development
Getting planning permission depends on the judgment of the local planning authority or the Assembly who must consider the facts relating to the proposal, the policies in the development plan and the characteristics of the proposed property itself. Obtaining planning permission can be a time consuming process and even if granted conditions can be imposed on the way the property is built. Listed buildings, conservation areas, tree preservation orders, agricultural occupancy conditions are just few of the areas in which complications can arise.
Our Rural Practice Team will assist with:
- Planning Appeals
- Appeals against Enforcement Action
- Compulsory Purchase
- Blight Notices
- Listed Buildings
- Tree Preservation Orders
- IPPC Permits
- Tied/agricultural accommodation
Please do not hesitate to telephone us for an informal discussion on 01792 773 773 or contact us using our online form today.

Only time will rid you of the beast (a cold)
12:51pm Monday 28th November 2011 in Latest By Helen Mead, Lancashire Telegraph columnist
IF you say you've got flu, you've got a cold, and if you think you're dying, you've got flu.
My husband comes out with this whenever I claim to have flu. I should use the term 'flu-like symptoms', the one that appears on packs of cold remedies.
Because flu is, of course, far more serious and can be fatal.
I don't think I was at risk of dying when I fell victim to the common cold, unfortunately during a week's holiday. It often happens. Once you relax, your immune system loosens up and you fall victim to all sorts of ailments.
Although 'common' colds cannot be dismissed lightly, this was my first for a long time and I'd forgotten how terrible they can make you feel.
When I felt it creeping up on me – a slight fever, dry throat and achey limbs – I attempted to stave it off with all manner of medication, including a traditional herbal remedy which has languished in the bathroom for the past few years.
Surprisingly, this made me feel marginally better, although glancing at the ingredients I noticed that it contained 12per cent alcohol, so it probably just numbed the symptoms.
I bought loathsome fruit juices that I would normally only drink under torture, and overpriced pro-biotic substances in tiny, two-gulp bottles. I had hot baths and went to bed early. But it was to no avail. Because, as anyone who has a cold will testify, only time will rid you of the beast.
Despite website advice claiming to get rid of a cold in a day, it takes a week before you start to feel normal again. People with colds feel the need to tell everyone about it. Either they want others to feel sorry for them, or they don't want to risk passing on their illness.
"I've got a cold," I moaned last week, in an effort to explain the crimson nose, bleary eyes, and clumps of mangled tissues protruding from my sleeve. Food tastes bland, and even a comforting cup of tea loses its appeal amid the nasal stuffiness and congestion.
With hundreds of strains of the virus that produce colds, once one is over, how do you prevent the onset of another?
I'm becoming paranoid and sat on the bus last night looking like a bandit, my scarf pulled over my nose.
I move seats if I hear so much as a sniffle from a nearby passenger.
But it's all damage limitation – most cold viruses can survive for hours on doorknobs and other surfaces, so short of wearing anti-radiation suits there's little any of us can do.

Ok found the FM, never used it though. Anyway, did you test that the sis file actully works, at least there is one older discussion thread claiming that it is not working: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ing-a-SIS-file
Thus if you would just remove those, and use the C:\sys\bin\mobismaSRV.exe to do the installation of the java files, right after the installer has exited installing the original sis file. Note that you can not have two instances of the installer running same time.

Dedicated SEO Management
The words on your website and related pages are extremely important.
SEO is the method of using search engines to bolster website traffic. The reason this is the most effective method of getting potential customers to your website is that people use search engines to find what they need in the vast, very populated world of cyberspace.
With so many companies active, it is nearly impossible for consumers to find a product just by surfing the web. SEO takes advantage of search engine's methods of using key words and phrases to find the items and information viewers are looking for based on the most common responses to those words.
Good SEO companies have discovered that by researching which keywords and phrases their target audience is most likely to use when searching for the products or services they offer and incorporating them into their websites and related content, they can trigger search engines to list them high on the results pages for people looking for what they have to offer. This process may seem simple than what it actually is.
How FreshRank Dedicated SEO Management Works
Our development team will make sure that when consumers come to your online doorstep, they can find what they want and that each element of your pages is designed to increase your sales. The FreshRank SEO experts will improve the user experience to ensure they "stick" when they arrive at your site, and spend as much time on your site as needed to make the sale, or contact you through your chosen means of communication.
The existing content on your webpage will be checked for the necessary elements to make it friendly, relevant and effective. New content will be created when necessary to make sure your pages communicate your message to the clients and help increase sales.
The fine-tuning of your website ensures the success of your SEO campaign, and delivers the best ROI for your investment.
We provide:
- Complete analysis of your company's competition to better develop your strategy
- Competitive Analytics to get you the best keywords for your company
- Comprehensive analysis of your website's structure and code
- Strategic design suggestions if needed for your SEO campaign that will use only "white hat" SEO methods to drive your website up the search engine ranks
- Thorough evaluation of your website's structure to allow search engine spiders better access and ensure your customers a more productive visit
- Our SEO experts will make sure the code on your website is up to the best practices of the moment for maximum effect when crawled by the search engines
- Top-notch content development
Protect Your Reputation
It is important that you hire efficient and reliable service providers to create your website. Mistakes made by amateurs and the unscrupulous tactics adopted by some professional SEO managers who promise instant and outrageous results can nullify all the efforts you may have put in to built your reputation online.
Our SEO services are based on only the most ethical SEO methods. SEO isn't always fast. Although we work diligently to get you the best results as quickly as possible, it is important to know that when you see promises of immediate results, it is because a company is cheating the system.
Google and other top search engines have implemented severe penalties against SEO companies and their clients that use such underhanded tactics known as "black hat" SEO. These penalties range from being reduced in the rankings to outright removal from the search engine listings, which could mean certain death for the business. It isn't just the search engines that may take offense to underhanded SEO, even your website's host may delete your site in an effort to avoid being de-valued or delisted by the search engines.
We will never compromise your good name, and risk your reputation by using tricks and gimmicks to get you to where you need to be in the rankings.

Fishing to CookPosted: May 16, 2012 Filed under: World of Warcraft | Tags: fishing, fun 2 Comments
Let's face it. Fishing in World of Warcraft is horribly boring for some people. Then for weirdos like me, it's very relaxing. In game, every class has a go to buff food. Usually its +int, +str +agi or +stam…surprisingly enough, the same buffs that are available from the fish feasts. Before feasts, everyone had to provide their own buff food which meant either farming and cooking it yourself, or, buying it off the auction house. Currently at end game, most raids bring fish feasts, so that their raiders don't have to remember to get their own food. Still though, someone has to either purchase or farm up the mats for the feast.
This is where many busy raiders usually decide that it is easier to just eat the fish feast, or buy food from the auction house. Those guys, they are suckers. SUCKERS I tell you. Why? Fishing and cooking are very easy to level up from scratch. Not only that, but, usually there's one fish that is a major pain in the ass to fish up (I'm looking at you lavascale catfish) but really isn't that hard…and it will sell for amazing prices. So while you're out helping out the guild (or yourself) with some feast mats, you could potentially spend a little more time and profit off it.
El's Anglin has a wonderful guide to get started with leveling fishing and cooking together here. She's also got some more great information about fishing for profit, fun, and achievements as well, be sure and check it out.
Now, you'll need to be able to cook that fish, so you should also level cooking. People will pay good money for individual food buff food that is cooked as well. It's true that fishing and cooking aren't the *best* money makers in the game, however, it's the cheapest way to pick up your own food. Besides, where else can you cook some food that attracts an army of penguins?
Surely the opportunity to have your own army of noncombat pets follow you around is enough of a reason! What are your reasons for or against fishing and cooking?
Diablo 3, First ImpressionsPosted: May 15, 2012 Filed under: Healing | Tags: D3, Diablo, gaming 1 Comment
I have never played Diablo before….well…that isn't true, I bought the battle chest a few years back and installed it, logged in and was completely at a lost as to what to do. It wasn't like World of Warcraft at all. World of Warcraft was the only computer game I'd ever played outside of card games! Today I made a Monk…I got D3 as part of my WoW annual pass, so I figure I may as well give it a try. I've completed 4 quests and teleported back to the town. So far….I kind of like it.
I obviously made a Monk because they were the only ones that had "heal" in their description that I could find. As someone who typically heals and will be playing this with my spouse who likes to rush in and smash things it seems suiting. I will try the other classes eventually as well, but I figured sticking with something familiar was best.
This is my Monk:
I intend to share some of my thoughts and experiences as I go along, when I remember :-)

Stay comfortable in the Bailey Shupp wool ascot cap. This cap is part of the Bailey of Hollywood Wool collection and features an ascot crown as well as a 2" brim. The sweatband is moisture absorbing to help keep your head dry and warm. The Bailey Hat Company has made the best fine wool felt hats in the world for over 143 years. Producing quality has always been their top priority, starting with the best raw materials available. Bailey only uses fine micron wool defined as under 24 microns in diameter, paint-free, short wool grown in Southwest Texas.
Bailey® began producing fine dress headwear in 1922, priding itself on founder George Bailey's emphasis on the importance of a professionally crafted hat. Bailey evolved from fine dress headwear to include a Western and Outdoor collection, allowing Bailey to segue into a broader market. Bailey Hats are known for the craftsmanship of their product; quality that is apparent in all styles and luxury fibers and fabrics including fur felt, leather, genuine Panama, straw, wool and cloth hats and caps.
Classic styles such as fedoras, godfathers and derby's were engineered and popularized by Bailey Hats in the 1920's. Bailey Hats were seen on silver screen icons like Clark Gable and Humphrey Bogart. These individually handcrafted hats last a lifetime and always carry a strong and sophisticated look. The hats are durable and most provide protection in any weather.
Staying true to our history of fine craftsmanship and detailing, the Bailey brand continues to evolve in design with industry leading innovations in hat finishes and fine trim detailing. Our ranges feature classic and contemporary styling.
With the foundation of a long and proud heritage, world-renowned quality, innovation, and fashion forward styling, Bailey Hats continues to be a leader in the western, fashion and casual men's hat arena.
Hatcountry has the largest collection of cowboy hats - cowboy boots and western wear. We have a wide range of western products like western hats - cowboy hats - cowboy boots - western boots.

Generic project box for the Arduino platform
The projBox is an open hardware project enclosure for prototyping with a standard electronics protoboard and an Arduino.
It is designed for projects that use an Arduino as a physical interface for software running on a separate computer.
The lid is removable and has holes for attaching components like switches and knobs. Ports in the end of the box allow access to both the USB and power jack of the Arduino.
The entire box can be constructed from laser-cut 1/8″ thick baltic birch plywood, which is a sturdy but easily tool-able material for drilling additional holes or adding other modifications. The schematics for creating/modifying a projBox enclosure are freely available on the templates page in a variety of vector formats.
projBox is now in an early production phase. It is developed by Joseph Gray of Grauwald Creative, with strategic guidance from Matt Westervelt of Metrix Create Space.
The projBox as a hardware controller
The finished projBox controller provides additional physical inputs to the conventional keyboard and mouse for your software. The combination of open source enclosure schematics and the use of commonly available parts provides an infinitely customizable platform. The projBox is designed to work with applications written in Processing, the IDE that Arduino's coding environment is based on, using the Firmata library.
Four rows of knobs, switches and LEDs can be attached to the lid and used to control custom software via the USB port on the Arduino. Those familiar with electronics can assemble the controller from parts they may already have. Other configurations are also possible, such as replacing the knobs with IR or proximity sensors, with some modification.
A kit is also available via the Maker Shed for those entirely new to electronics designed to supplement a video course published by O'Reilly Media called Processing and Arduino in Tandem, and soon to be other videos in that series. The series shows, in detail, how to assemble the projBox as an example Arduino project and how to write custom applications in Processing.
If you already have a grasp on both Arduino and Processing the projBox concept can be borrowed as a technique to combine commonly obtainable technologies for projects involving custom human/computer interaction. In other words: modify as you see fit.
The above video demonstrates the projBox controlling a custom video mixing software using a live camera feed of the projBox and recorded video created moments prior to being mixed

"Great card. Since it was square and would have required extra postage I got the rectangular envelopes that square card fits in but no extra postage requird. They were very tight to get card in and only fit one way. Would not get these envelopes again!"
"Received my order in less than 48 hours and also a call from the design artist with a follow up proof. I would highly recommend Tiny Prints and will use them exclusively from now on because of their wonderful customer service - a rare find these days!"
"This is the most beautiful Christmas card we've ever had! Many of our friends commented saying, "What a card!," and that this card earned us "Christmas card of the year!" We ordered it with the pearlized finish and it was absolutely stunning! The picture quality was fantastic. We had such a great experience that we will order cards every year from now on....it will be hard to top this one!"
"Love the colour palette and simplicity of this card. I like that the layout offered maximum space for good-sized pictures without a cluttered look. I changed the back layout to include 2 pictures which still allowed for personalized messages to be written between them and the footer. I chose the light gray with pearl white shimmer and metallic silver envelopes - happy with those additions. Also impressed with the designers' post-order service to help me better accomodate my pictures since the preset sizes didn't quite work with one of the photos. Pleased with the modern feel of our fun New Year's card!"
"Card quality was excellent, print quality was good, and service was exceptional. Paper had a slight texture to it so we were concerned about print quality of the photograph we were inserting. I was surprised to see the photo came out real nice. It is however, NOT photo paper so don't expect it to be ultra-crisp!"

When developers Quantic Dream released a trailer titled The Casting, it was to show off the tech engine behind Heavy Rain, their interactive drama psychological thriller game. While it may seem like there can't be any more improvement to cinematic experience that Heavy Rain delivered, the studio has once again shown that's not quite the case, with their latest tech demo titled "Kara".
Welcome to Kara, the product of Quantic Dream's recent work on the PlayStation 3, and of its investment in new motion capture facilities. Again it's a one-woman show built around a slow tonal shift, again channelled through a strong and actorly central performance - but the distance between Kara and The Casting is as good a measure as any of the technical progress we've seen this generation, and of a shift in ambition and capability within Quantic Dream.Sadly this is only a tech demonstration, and not actually representative of any game in development, but it's nice to know this is the kind of detail that we can expect in the coming years. You can check out the full developer discussion over here on EuroGamer, and watch the trailer below (or click here for the HD video page) to really see just how awesome video game engines have become.

Myron Rolle on the bubble
"It's been a while since we heard from Titans safety Myron Rolle, the Rhodes scholar that sparked a league-wide debate before the draft about his passion for the game. (And his skills.) The sixth-round pick hasn't particularly impressed Titans onlookers in training camp and remains squarely on the roster bubble heading into Thursday's preseason finale. If he doesn't make it, Rolle hopes he makes the practice squad." A lot of us were interested in seeing him become a Chief... I think Pioli probably made the right choice w/Berry and Lewis

will wp rise? Not in its current pathetic HW and SW conditions
so how messy is the software/SW aspect of the wp proposition?
hmmm let's see: MS had a full friggin year to add NEEDED features to wp7. but oh wait, instead of adding features, they went ahead and re-developed the god dam thing. who said users needed a new kernel? eff the kernel. gimme some needed apps and gimme siri!
rooms? really? who needed rooms? gimme multitasking that works as simply, predictably and effectively as that of iOS. let me close apps by swiping them up, as in webos. rooms my azz....i dont need friggin rooms....
kids corner? who requested that? how about paying wells fargo and chase to develop INCREDIBLY USEFUL APPS that allow us to deposit checks (and please tribe extremists dont pull the "it's not safe to deposit check electronically" card on me) when we live in a town that does not have a branch of our bank? how about that MS?
smartglass? who the heck asked for that? how about making skype calls free so that i can call my parents in belgium for free the way iphone and android users do with viber?
i wonder what MS has in mind for wp9....hmmm here' s my guess: re-rewrite wp to avoid the task of adding truly needed features. lame!!!
i am just like everyone else who drank the live tiles, novelty, and fresh look cool aid. too late to return phone now. stuck with the extremely beautiful and smooth, yet utterly impractical wp8. seriously though, how long is MS gunna play catch up?
and how messy is the hardware/HW aspect of wp?
let's see:
here's the 8x in 4 colors. oh but wait, no flame red. that was just for advertising.
here's the lumia 920 in 5 colors. oh wait, no release date, carrier avail and pricing.
here's OIS. oh wait, fake advert. the OIS works just watch the amateur russian tech reviewer videos. oh wait, your daylight images are still gunna be pretty crappy. who cares though? it's not like we take most of our pictures under normal lighting conditions.
but nokia takes ineptitude and messy business to a whole different level with the color situation: analyze this, the most popular and the most advertised colors of the 920 are the least available. in fact they are unavailable, period. is anyone able to wrap their head around that? i am not talking about availability. the phones are available at select at and t stores. but the most advertised colors are nowhere to be found. seriously, does anyone have an explanation for this?
i have a red 920. i am willing to pay 50$ for a wirless charger. but where is the red charger? where? why is it always out of stock on at and t 's website? i dont think it's ever been in stock in the first place. can anybody explain this?
the NFC joke
kudos to apple's wisdom for not including the NFC chip in the iphone 5 and letting it take space and add cost to the phone. what a joke....MS claimed that it's wp wallet is superior to that of iphone and android, as it truly replaces physical credit and debit cards; except there's two tiny little problems: the wp wallet is actually pretty useless for anything other than app purchases and not a single god dam american wireless carrier supports NFC payments. ....what a gimmick NFC is.
here i am with a gorgeous phone (with the most advanced hardware weilding the most beautiful and smooth mobile OS) that is pretty much useless save for talk, text, facebook and the occasional low light picture.
to the wp8 user: how is that cool aid going for you?
P.S: please let me know if u have any idea where i can find a red wireless charging plate that is compatible with U.S electric outlets.

Theodore Clement Steele (1847-1926), member of the Hoosier Group of American impressionist painters, was at the forefront of Indiana's art movement. Steele remains one of the state's most honored artists. In 1907, Steele bought an abandoned farm in Brown County. The home he built to share with his wife Selma, the House of the Singing Winds, with the surrounding forest and sweeping vistas, would inspire his best-known paintings. The Large Studio was built in 1916, and the hillsides were landscaped to enhance the beauty of the property. Visitors today tour both buildings and explore the 211-acre grounds.

'Japan's Beethoven' Confesses He Used A Ghostwriter
Samuragochi has been lauded as Japan's Beethoven for composing music despite a severe hearing impairment. But he admitted Wednesday that he did not write "Hiroshima Symphony" and other works credited to him.
Ghostwriter Takashi Niigaki said Thursday that he worked with Samuragochi for 18 years but got fed up and refused last year to continue the collaboration. Niigaki said he hopes to continue composing and performing despite the uproar.
Japanese media reported that Olympic figure skater Daisuke Takahashi will use the Samuragochi arrangement "Sonatina for Violin" for his short program at the Sochi Olympics despite the disclosure that it was actuallycomposed by Niigaki.

|Dr OP Kapoor (in spectacles) enjoys a party with late actor-director Raj Kapoor and wife Krishna Raj Kapoor; Actor Salman Khan shares the stage with Dr Kapoor during a Sunday lecture-demonstration held for final year MBBS students at Birla Matoshree Hall, New Marine Lines, Mumbai, earlier this month
At his Fort clinic, Dr Om Prakash Kapoor thumbs through printouts of internet stories carrying breaking news in medical research. His thin gold-framed spectacles sit firmly on his nose, as he looks up and breaks into a large smile.
That smile has been greeting patients and medical students since 1955, when the now 80- year-old physician began practising at JJ Hospital, Mumbai. Three years later, Kapoor, who was also an honorary professor at Grant Medical College, began tutoring medical students for free.
"I accepted the editor's post on the condition that the trust allows me to use its Matoshree Hall for three months every year, where I could teach medical students for free. There is nothing in writing about this arrangement. But the tradition continues," says Kapoor, who completes 331 classes today.
His six-hour long lectures are spread over 12 consecutive Sundays from June to September. The rest of the nine months, laughs Kapoor, he "gets pregnant with information." The delivery, attest students, is perfect. Kapoor calls his lectures a 'show', as he does his best to liven them up.
His entry on stage is accompanied by karaoke versions of Mohammed Rafi and Mukesh hits. Armed with slides, he invites patients for live demonstrations. His subjects range from how to record a patient's history and take an ECG to common lifestyle ailments such as liver and heart disease.
His friendship with the patriarch of Bollywood's first family goes back to the late '60s, when he was asked to diagnose what was wrong with Prithviraj Kapoor. "Papaji, as we called him, had gained a lot of weight. He would get fevers that lasted weeks and then disappeared, in cycles.
It struck me that this condition was a classic symptom of a cancer known as Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He went to the US for a check-up and they confirmed it," he says. Prithviraj's son Raj soon became friends with the doctor, and even took singer Mukesh to him.
"Nobody understood why two glasses of alcohol would leave Mukesh gasping for breath. His organs were fine. Then I learnt he was taking a tablet for his diabetes which caused a 'Disulfiram reaction' whenever it mixed with alcohol. I substituted his medication.
Mukesh saab could enjoy his drinks once again," says Kapoor, who is also consulting physician to Krishna Raj Kapoor and Kareena's mother, Babita. The doctor, in fact, named his sons after Raj's brothers Shammi and Shashi. The younger generation of the Kapoors, however, does not come to him.
"They are too busy shooting," he says. In fact, even his students today are less expressive than those who attended his lectures decades ago. "Earlier, they would present gifts, touch my feet. Now, barely anybody claps. After the lecture, even before I'm done rounding up my slides, they are out of the hall."
But that hasn't doused his enthusiasm. His afternoons are spent playing tennis at the Willingdon Sports Club. He's just as well turned out as in the '60s, wearing velvet shoes and a three-piece suit with a bow-tie, whether he's at the clinic or at a Sunday lecture.
"I love clothes and cars," he says, fiddling with the keys of his new BMW 7-series. "I can die content now. And if I could choose where I'd breathe my last, it would either be the stage or the tennis court."

Mainline Theatre takes it off in Johnny Canuck and the Last Burlesque
Tassels and Fringe
It's 1947, and Canadian dime store hero Johnny Canuck has just been yanked from the comic stands. What will our man do now?
Never fear! Mainline Theatre to the rescue.
When artistic director Jeremy Hechtman and ex-Fringe Fest general manager Patrick Goddard sat down to create the latter's next solo performance, it wasn't long before it snowballed into Johnny Canuck and the Last Burlesque, defined by the duo as a "historico-comedico-musical burlesque extravaganzah," complete with Hitler, the Marx Brothers and plenty of dancing girls.
"One of the first things we did," says Goddard, "was we created a wish list. What would we love to see if we're going to do a piece about Montreal and the burlesque theatre of the '40s and '50s?"
Why, girls stripping in a giant keyhole silhouette, cliffhanger endings and a giant spider web, of course. "We got a grant to write the show not knowing if we were going to get a grant to do the show," explains Hechtman. "When we first started doing it, I remember approaching it a little more timidly, as, you know, 'Well, we could never really pull that off.' And then we just said, 'Well, why don't we write the show we want to do, the show we want to see on stage?'"
The burlesque tradition of the 1940s lends not only its accoutrements but its raison d'être to the script. "There was a huge element of artistry and storytelling in the striptease numbers of the time, and it's not in the strip clubs now," says Hechtman.
Goddard concurs. "In the old burlesque shows, it was way more than just striptease. Stripping was a very small element of it. Because you had comedians and jugglers and acrobats and knife throwing and magicians, almost Ed Sullivan-esque acts. So we wanted to put all that on stage."
"We're trying to revive a different way of telling a story," muses Hechtman. "A lot of the inspiration came out of the story of Lily St-Cyr, who was a famous Montreal burlesque stripper of the time, who put one of her own suicide attempts onto the stage as a strip number. You know, the idea that she was using stripping to tell her own personal story. Or there's a very specific burlesque number called the Apache Dance, which is essentially a mock rape scene that happened always to a tango, usually set in the dressing room of a performer, because these were the things that were happening to the artists at the time, and they were using their art form to tell their story. This is what we've picked up on and have used as the inspiration for the play – to have the burlesque artists tell the story of the history of burlesque. And we've been throwing around this catch phrase of 'We're not doing a history of burlesque, we're doing a burlesque of history.'"
"I'm a big comics fan," admits Goddard, who recently returned from studying with renowned physical theatre teacher Philippe Gaulier to work on Last Burlesque. "I had this idea that we would take this character Johnny Canuck, and where did he go after his comic book was cancelled in 1947? I thought it would be really funny to end up in Montreal. And then as Jeremy and I started talking about him, and what would he do, who would he talk to, and who were these other characters, the show just kept expanding and expanding and expanding, until now, we've got nine actors and a four-piece band, and this huge set, and…"
"We didn't get our whole wish list," interrupts Hechtman. "We still didn't get our girl in a big champagne glass. We couldn't find one."
"A big champagne glass," Goddard elaborates.
"Girls we've got plenty of," assures Hechtman.
Towing the Mainline
If there's another thing Hechtman doesn't lack, it's self-assurance. It's just this kind of flat-out superlative insistence that sees him holding court behind his desk at the spanking-new Mainline Theatre space, with the din of musical numbers and buzzsaws clamouring to put the finishing details on Last Burlesque, the self-touted Best Thing Ever.
"This is going to be the slickest, most professional show that has ever been produced on stage in Montreal, or ever will be," he states flatly.
Regardless of whether the show holds up to its own hyperbole, there are a whole lot of folks from the theatre community pitching in. And Goddard and Hechtman are no strangers to large-scale theatrical chaos. They're of a breed more prone to upping the ante than sitting on its laurels.
"The simple fact of the matter is that we love theatre more than anybody else," says Goddard. "And people know it. And it shows."
"There's no question, there's a lot to do," agrees Hechtman, what with a new theatre, a new show, and the 16th Fringe fast approaching. "We're here quite a lot, and we're here long hours, and working very hard and we're going home very late and very drunk and coming in very hung over and working through the next day… we're living the dream!"
So what if Johnny Canuck and his bevy of burlesque beauties can't live up to the high standard of ultimate excellence the director has set for them? No one seems too worried. "Burlesque is not about being good. It's about selling the bad," quips Hechtman. "We didn't necessarily cast the best singers and the best dancers that we had." "No, no," Goddard insists. "We cast the good personalities."
"I think the great thing about burlesque is that if all that falls apart, you can go for the dick joke," Hechtman concludes.
You can bet, if ever there were two guys willing to sacrifice it all for a good dick joke, Hechtman and Goddard are your boys. And rest assured that when they do, it will be with equal measures of irreverence and sheer love of the craft. They may tease on the way there, but in the end, they'll take it all off.
Johnny Canuck and the Last Burlesque
At Mainline Theatre (3997 St-Laurent), Jan. 25 to Feb. 12

The Nevada Association of REALTORS, Nevada Association of School Boards (NASB), Nevada State Education Association (NSEA), and the northern Nevada chapter of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP) are formally endorsing Assembly Bill 46, which would provide funding for repairs and maintenance at schools in the Washoe County School District (WCSD).
The groups join a number of other organizations that are supporting the bill, including The Chamber, Associated General Contractors of Northern Nevada, EDAWN (Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada), the Council for Excellence in Education, the Builders Association of Northern Nevada, and Parent Leaders for Education.
"School boards across Nevada are entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring the learning and achievement of all boys and girls attending our public schools," said Dotty Merrill, executive director of the Nevada Association of School Boards. "A major part of that responsibility includes providing facilities that are safe and that will contribute to learning so Nevada students are prepared for meaningful participation in the state and global economies. With that also comes responsibility for maintaining and revitalizing the constituents' considerable investment in school facilities. Assembly Bill 46 will help the WCSD accomplish both of these important goals. The Nevada Association of School Boards supports this bill."
Sixty percent of WCSD schools are more than 30 years old, and 25 percent of WCSD schools are more than 50 years old. Altogether, the District maintains more than seven million square feet of building space, and officials say a number of roofs, boilers, HVAC systems, electrical and plumbing equipment, flooring, and pavement are in need of maintenance work or replacement.
"We recognize that the Washoe County School District is in need of funding and support for repairs and maintenance of its schools, and we support Assembly Bill 46," said Patty Kelley, president of the 2013 Nevada Association of REALTORS, which represents realtors in Reno, Sparks, and Incline Village. "If we hope to grow our economy and draw more families to our area, we must demonstrate that we are committed to providing an atmosphere in our schools that is conducive to learning, growing, and excelling. We feel that AB 46 offers the most efficient way for the district to raise the revenue necessary to address serious capital project needs in all of our schools. This funding would also protect and preserve the community's considerable investment in its school buildings and lessen the financial burden the district will face if these repairs are not addressed now. We are proud to endorse AB 46."
AB 46 would establish a ¼ percent increase in the sales tax and a property tax increase of $0.05 per $100 of assessed value in Washoe County. The cost for the average family is $8 per month. The bill would provide approximately $20 million annually for maintenance and repairs at 93 WCSD schools.
"NAIOP, representing the region's commercial real estate industries, understands the unique challenges of funding necessary building maintenance and upgrades, given limitations in the current structure," said Aaron West, chair of government affairs for NAIOP. "Washoe County School District continues to demonstrate its commitment to our students— with numerous success stories— in the face of reduced operating budgets. While our members are very sensitive to additional taxes, this legislation will allow the district to put all available resources into students' education needs. The dollars contemplated will have little effect on the residents of the area, but will have a tremendous impact on the education infrastructure while supporting local jobs."
"NSEA is proud to stand with the Washoe County School District and support their effort to find revenue for the revitalization of Washoe schools," said Lynn Warne, president of the NSEA, which represents more than 28,000 Nevada teachers and education support professionals. "Our kids deserve to have safe schools with quality learning environments."
Assembly Bill 46 is scheduled for its first hearing by the Assembly Taxation Committee:
Date: Tuesday, Feb. 19
Time: 1:30 p.m.
Location: Legislature Building, Room 4100

Would new sales tax requirements harm small and mid-size businesses?
Small and mid-size companies are vital to the U.S. economy in terms of employment and growth in GDP.
