(For Discretionary Grantees)
Memorandum to ED Discretionary Grantees
You are receiving this memorandum to remind you of Federal requirements, found in Parts 74 and 80 of the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR), regarding cash drawdowns under your grant account.
For any cash that you draw from your Department of Education grant account, you must:
- draw down only as much cash as is necessary to meet the immediate needs of the grant project;
- keep to the minimum the time between drawing down the funds and paying them out for grant activities; and
- return to the Government the interest earned on grant funds deposited in interest-bearing bank accounts (except for a small amount of interest earned each year that your entity is allowed to keep to reimburse itself for administrative expenses).
In order to meet these requirements, you are urged to:
- take into account the need to coordinate the timing of drawdowns with prior internal clearances (e.g., by boards, directors, or other officials) when projecting immediate cash needs so that funds drawndown from ED do not stay in a bank account for extended periods of time while waiting for approval;
- monitor the fiscal activity (drawdowns and payments) under your grant on a continuous basis;
- plan carefully for cash flow in your grant project during the budget period and review project cash requirements before each drawdown; and
- pay out grant funds for project activities as soon as it is practical to do so after receiving cash from the Department.
Keep in mind that the Department monitors cash drawdown activity for all grants on a weekly basis. Department staff will contact grantees who appear to have drawn down excessive amounts of cash under one or more grants during the fiscal quarter to discuss the particular situation. For the purposes of drawdown monitoring, the department will contact grantees who have drawn down 50% or more of the grant in the first quarter, 80% or more in the second quarter, and/or 100% of the cash in the third quarter of the budget period. However, even amounts less than these thresholds could still represent excessive drawdowns for your particular grant activities in any particular quarter. Grantees determined to have drawn down excessive cash will be required to return the excess funds to the Department, along with any associated earned interest, until such time as the money is legitimately needed to pay for grant activities. You can find the procedures for returning funds and interest in the ED Payee's Guide, which is located on the Web at the following URL:
(select the link for 'e-Payments')
Grantees who do not follow Federal cash management requirements and/or consistently appear on the Department's reports of excessive drawdowns could be:
- designated "high-risk" grantees [EDGAR 74.14, 80.12], which could mean being placed on a "cash-reimbursement" payment method (i.e., a grantee would experience the inconvenience of having to pay for grant activities with its own money and waiting to be reimbursed by the Department afterwards);
- subject to further corrective action;
- denied selection for funding on future ED grant applications [EDGAR 75.217(d)(3)(ii)]; and/or
- debarred or suspended from receiving future federal awards from any executive agency of the federal government.
Depending on which type of entity your organization is, you are urged to read either §74.22 or §80.21 of EDGAR to learn more about Federal requirements related to grant payments. If you are a state or local educational agency with a grant covered by Part 80, please check with the ED staff person named in Block 3 of your Grant Award Notification to determine how to apply these requirements to any subgrantees. You are urged to make copies of this memorandum and share it with all affected individuals within your organization.
Our mission is to ensure equal access to education and to promote educational excellence throughout the Nation

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandates that States make available formal processes for families of children with disabilities age 3 through 21 and public schools to resolve special education-related disputes. Specifically, the Arizona Department of Education is required to offer mediation (34 C.F.R. § 300.506), a due process hearing system (§ 300.507), and a state administrative complaint system through which the Department can investigate alleged violations of the IDEA (§§ 300.151 through 153).
NOW AVAILABLE — Dispute Resolution Listserv — If you would like to sign-up for the the Dispute Resolution Listserv, please add your e-mail address through this link. Once registered, you will receive information on upcoming events, trainings, and hot topics in dispute resolution.
Resolution at the Local Level
Special education disputes are best resolved at the earliest stages by those parties most involved in a child's education – namely the child's parents and school staff members of the IEP team. Parents and school staff are encouraged to communicate and work together to reach an agreement that is in the best interest of the child. Parents may also request in writing that the school reconvene the IEP team to discuss questions or concerns.
Each district or charter school also has a special education director or coordinator that parents can contact if problems still exist. The special education director can often assist the IEP team in finding a mutual agreement or resolution. To find the contact information for the special education director or coordinator for each school district or charter school, visit the ADE Public School Search and type the name of the school in the search bar on the left side of the screen.
When a resolution cannot be reached at the local level, the Arizona Department of Education offers several resolution options.
Options for Addressing Concerns About Special Education
- Early Resolution – Provides technical assistance to parents and schools seeking early resolution of complaints, in addition to providing guidance on the formal dispute resolution options available under the IDEA.
- Mediation - An informal, voluntary process during which an impartial mediator helps parents and schools experiencing conflict reach a suitable agreement about a student's special education program. Mediation is a problem-solving process rather than an adversarial process that allows the parties to communicate directly with each other as they work toward a mutually agreeable solution.
- Due Process Hearing System – The most formal of the dispute resolution options, a due process hearing may be used to resolve any matter relating to the identification, evaluation, placement of a child, or the provision of a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) to the child.
- State Administrative Complaint System – Part of the State's general supervisory authority, this is the process through which members of the community can alert the state education agency (SEA) of potential noncompliance with the IDEA in the public schools.
Training Resources
- Dispute Resolution offers recorded webinars. Please visit the Training Resources page.

Knee Ligament Sprains and Tears
Knee Ligament Sprain and Tear Symptoms and Causes
Knee ligament sprains and tears are injuries to any of the four major ligaments in the knee. These ligaments connect the femur (thighbone) to the tibia (shin bone) and include a pair of cruciate ligaments (ACL and PCL) and a pair of collateral ligaments (MCL and LCL).
An injury to the ligament causes the knee to pop and buckle, causing pain and swelling. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common ligaments to be injured, often during a sudden twisting motion. The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury usually occurs with sudden, direct impact. The medial collateral ligament is injured more often than the lateral collateral ligament. Stretch and tear injuries to the collateral ligaments are usually caused by a blow to the outer side of the knee.

whoohoo back on topic.
If you can get your hands on Bone Warden's Splitter (Marrowgar10) or Scourgeborne Waraxe (Gunship25), go for it. Both of those would work out better than Heartpierce.
Your assassination spec seems to have changed, but you've still got a couple of small things wrong. Glyph of Vigor should be Glyph of Tricks or Glyph of Fan of Knives. The point in Aggression should go into Lightning Reflexes (you're never using SS, BS, or Eviscerate anyways), and you still have an extra unused talent point, which should go into Relentless Strikes.
Start farming heroics for T9 and the Triumph Badge trinket. All of those pieces are fairly good until you can find replacements in ICC.
whoohoo back on topic.
So long and thanks for all this fish
Zxian that is a funny song on that link man.....anyway where i am at now is stacking agility the proper thing to do because as of right now i am finding i am doing more dps in the combat spec. I will change the affore mentioned things in my spec as soon as the reset is over with today. Thank you again
I wouldn't bother replacing any of the gems in your gear just yet. For now, the difference between Agi and Ap is going to be small (although if you're going for orange gems, make sure you're using AP/haste and not AP/crit).
Once you start picking up more gear along the way, you'll likely notice that your ArP will go up. There will be a point at which ArP is stronger than AP or Agi, and the more you have, the better it gets (as opposed to all other stats, that actually get worse point for point as you have more).
If you want to find out what gems are good and which aren't, download iDPS. It's a Java app that will let you import your character and select different configurations of gear and gems. That way, you can play around with gems, enchants, and upgrades to see what will get you the most DPS.
Zxian is it worth gemming armor-pen now that it is going to be a talent or passive thing when cata comes out.....I am just wondering cause my gear is getting better and by the time i get to where u are talking about stacking armor-pen it might be cata time and then where would i be?? Also, since i dont need the hit from the enchant on my boots what would be the best enchant to have there greater assault or superior agility??

I'm hoping you just logged out in your Mutilate gear, but combat spec. Combat daggers does not work. Full stop. :P
Your best bet is to just stick with gemming what's best for your gear now rather than worry about the next xpac. When Cata drops, you'll be working on leveling to 85 anyways, and all the rules will change.
Icewalker is always the best enchant for boots, even if you're above the poison hit cap. There is no other alternative for PvE.
Go read the guides on EJ (like... actually sit down and read them, don't just skim). They'll likely answer many of your questions before you ask them here.

No. They won't. That's one of the minor problems with Elitist Jerks.
-3.3 Rogue FAQ (linked from Pocket Guide to WOTLK)Q: Which stats are good for combat?
A: At high gear levels, ArPen usually takes over; until you get there, it can be almost anything. I've seen Agi, AP, Hit, and Haste all take the top position depending on the exact details of your gear setup - check a spreadsheet to find the answer that's right for you. But by late ICC gear levels, the rule of thumb seems to be enough Exp and Hit to fix any crit cap issues you may have and then stack ArPen. In some gear setups you might find it advantageous to use a haste gem or two.
See? An answer for penademuerte's latest question. Oh wait. It says to consult a spreadsheet. Ohnoes. Work that I would have to do in order to determine what is best for my rogue. What a terrible idea.
Furthermore, the Pocket Guide has an entire table for which enchants Rogues should use. There is little choice for us, and it really only depends on whether you have the profession for said enchant, or if you've got a movespeed bonus for free from talents. (If you're not running with Cat's Swiftness or Tuskarr's Vitality on your boots as combat, you're asking for trouble in any serious raiding guild). There's also only one correct choice for meta gems for Rogues, and it isn't 21crit/3% crit damage.
This is why I suggest people read and learn. Give a man a fish, and he'll eat. Teach a man to fish, and he'll never go hungry.
P.S. I'm still waiting for you to give a viable alternative.
wow this thread helped me out trying to find a good way to find info for trying to build my new rogue beside the unneeded and somewhat uncalled for interuption from Jammer Six
Then your path forward is absolutely clear: elitist jerks is definitely for you!
Good luck!

Zack Whittaker
No post-PC era
Pro post-PC era
Jason Perlow
Best Argument: Pro post-PC era
The moderator has delivered a final verdict.
Opening Statements
Post-PC era is bunk
Zack Whittaker: This just in: The PC is not dead. I'll concede that the mouse is making its way to the scrap heap---along with the USB flash drive and DVDs. However, the QWERTY-keyboard reigns as the all-mighty technology. No tablet, iPad or smartphone can take the QWERTY away from us. Touch-keyboards are terrible for writing essays or lengthy word documents, and smartphones only work if you have dainty hands. The traditional PC is not dead---it's just evolving. We see them in offices, homes, Internet cafes, and for good reason. They remain the 'base' device we use to make things happen -- whether it's CAD drawing for engineers or PhotoShop for designers.
All this "post-PC era" talk is bunk. The iPad isn't a PC, and never will be. While Jason thinks in MIPS, beeps and chips, he's delusional about the post-PC era. If we adopted his view today, we'd be blinded by shiny objects and suffer from plunging productivity. Even worse, we'd be saddled with "post-PC junk."
Post-PC era is here already
Jason Perlow: We are living in the beginning of what Steve Jobs called the "post-PC" age. But what does "post-PC" actually mean? Tablets such as the iPad, and other light computing devices, are going to replace the PC. I'd argue that the post-PC era encompasses a broad set of technologies that will eventually kill the PC as we know it today.
What do I mean? The x86 platform---30 years old this month---is toast. Speed, storage, graphics and I/O have all improved, but we're on an architecture not much different than the original 5150 PC. The PC architecture---hatched at IBM and turned into a standard by Wintel---is almost certainly in its final decade in the consumer space. We have entered a post-PC era and that means the x86 is going extinct. Personal computing won't disappear, but the PC as we know it will. The platforms delivering the post-PC era---ARM, tablets, smartphones, cloud computing---will bear no resemblance whatsoever to the PC. I guarantee it.

Calvin Klein have just released images of Lara Stone modelling their oh-so-chic underwear for the new Push Positive range. The range has been designed to be the "perfect modern bra", and we've got to admit that the Dutch supermodel looks pretty perfect wearing it!
The blonde bombshell has been modelling for Calvin Klein since 2007, becoming the official face of the brand in 2010. The new ads, shot by renowned photographer Steven Klein, will be followed by a video released on Youtube in September. If you can't wait till then, then check out the pics above for the best of Lara's campaigns for Calvin Klein, which are ample evidence that this really is a match made in fashion heaven.
In other Lara Stone news, this is GENIUS:

Ladislav Bodnar, the guy running distrowatch, thinks the 50002 ANNOUNCEMENT is terribly fucking boring. In fact, he thought it was so bad, he didn't even include blag's announcement on his site (for the first time). I asked why, and here was his response:
Ladislav wrote:
I looked at your release announcement in the forum and found it to be the same old, recycled and utterly boring announcement as always. Can't you produce something more exciting? Something that tells people what's new in the latest release and why they should download it? Something enthusiastic and enticing?
If you yourself are not prepared to make an effort to put together a half-decent release announcement, how can you expect others to do it?
Youch. He's pretty right though. I do just take the old one, swap in the names of the new updates, s/50001/50002, and push it out. I'm generally just glad the CD is done and working. I have never spent much time /at all/ trying to promote blag. (Promotion currently consists of an email to distrowatch, lwn.net, and a freshmeat update.)
Following up with him, he responded:
Ladislav wrote:
It doesn't need to be a flowery PR announcement (I dislike those too), just some information about each new release. One paragraph of useful information saying what exactly changed since the last release and why the changes would be great. Or maybe you can provide a full changelog of all updates (including version numbers), bug fixes, feature enhancements, etc.
In sum, we need less suck in the PR department. r7 has offered to write something up, but I think the issue is also a bit wider than just one ANNOUNCEMENT.
Should we actively start promoting blag like most distros do? If so, where? How? Perhaps even, why? :)
The website has had pretty much the same look for quite some time. Dylan did do a decent looking mockup of a new look, but it really wasn't /too/ much different. Should we revamp that as well? If so, who? :)
Oh, and mailing lists are on the way. Either autistici.org or aktivix.org is going to host them. (As a historical note, we had mailing lists until the servers were sent to the FBI then they didn't get set up again.)
In sum, BLAG marketing. /me runs ;)
P.S. Ladislav said it was fine if i posted this.

Maybe we should have this fellow write it ;)
It's a nice blag review:
All in all I think Blag Linux and Gnu is a good distribution. It works well out of the box, it comes with a decent set of packages and it makes having a Free system ever so much easier. Some may not think the last point is important, but for some, like me, who value their freedom and are too lazy to check each and every license of software the package manager wishes to install, it makes life a hell of a lot easier. If you don't care about your freedom you may consider Blag as 'Yet Another Linux Distro', but for me the simple freedom it brings to the desktop along with the one CD install makes this distribution stand out.

Oh, by the way, there is a Changelog here:
Here's some MD5SUMs for you to dream about:

863db0147b33f9774494c85441d2e94d BLAG-50002-CD2-SRPMS.iso
Oh, and I hope we never do ANNOUNCEMENTs like this:
On August 24th, the International Astronomical Union redefined what is required for planet-hood. This had the result of reclassifying Pluto as a dwarf planet.
Today, we release Fedora Core 6 Test 3. We have not redefined what is required for a Fedora release, instead continuing to provide the same high quality that users have come to expect from Fedora.
WTF? Or for fc5:
Hi, my name is Fedora Core "Bordeaux", and today I am 5. When I turned 4 last year, they got a funny salesman to talk about me like I was a toy. I like toys. But today Teacher said I am a big kid, and I should talk about myself. I can do lots of big kid stuff now, and everyone tells me that I play really well with all the other kids in class, even the ones who are mean like bullies. I always try and share, which is what Teacher says is the best thing.
Sharing is a really good thing to do. I like to share all my toys and books and stuff with all the other kids so that they can play with them and even learn things, too. I have a lot of neat stuff to share, so I made this cool list to tell you all about it. Teacher gave me some things to put in the list, but since I'm a big kid I think I should get to say what I want, too.
Man, they should be left off distrowatch just for that painful text. Ouch. I'd rather be boring. ;)

Sep 26 19:01:17 <stevo32> s/./,
Sep 26 19:01:58 <jebba_> blagblagbalgalbgbalgblagblag
Sep 26 19:03:52 <stevo32> ya really...
From some release that occured in February (50000?):
Feb 02 23:59:24 <jebba> And make sure I didn't screw up anything too big before sending to lwn & distrowatch?
Feb 02 23:59:54 <stevo32> looking good!
Feb 03 00:00:07 <stevo32> except
Feb 03 00:00:09 <jebba> can you double-check links for me
Feb 03 00:00:14 <jebba> ok. 'cept wha?
Feb 03 00:00:16 <stevo32> like 6 sentences in a row start with the word BLAG
Feb 03 00:00:23 <stevo32> wait, 5.
Feb 03 00:00:33 <jebba> Oh, yea. Should only be 3. ;)
Feb 03 00:00:36 <stevo32> still, maybe you could group those first few lines together into a paragraph.
Feb 03 00:00:40 <stevo32> it'd look cleaner
Feb 03 00:01:00 <jebba> ya. i kind of agree, but well, whatever. :)
My extensive logs are coming back to haunt you! ;)
Anyhow, as for real suggestions:
Yes, it'd prolly be good to actually assemble a real PR/Marketing team. Now, there's something important here though: this team is going to have to collaborate with jeff (and the other developers) in order to get a release out the doors. So when you're on vacation, and we wanna do a release, what happens? Other than that, yeah, I think it'd be great if we had a PR team to do a little bit of blag promotion. However, nothing like the bullshit from Fedora. Just a little straightforward promotion.

ok, Ladislav was a bit dry, almost aggressive. But I think you have the right attitude in taking his comments in consideration. Of course, Blag is not about Bells & Whistles, with flashy anouncements, but a bit of PR shouldn't hurt...
Maybe more explainations for the newcomer in the main website page.
Hey, Blag is the best distro around, if it needs a bit of marketing, why not ?

As far as the website goes, if someone mocks up something in GIMP or gives me a drawing of what they want, I will be quite happy to code it. Web pages I can do :)
As for PR, chuck some ideas in this thread. Just so happens I know someone who can reword things in a marketable way and does so for a living.

The r7's piece sounds good to me, but then I am not the chief editor at Distrowatch !
-Shall you maybe write at least one sentence about Kiax/Blasterisk, like something about free phonecalls ???
-How about mentionning and linking the FSF endorsement ?
-Does it make sense to also mention the IRC channel as well, where you mention the forum & wiki ?

r7, that looks good to me, but so did the one I sent. ;)

I think we should all email Ladislav and tell him how pissed we are that he's ignoring our distro's new release. Get really indignant and say that we'll never go to his site again. Hit him in the pocketbook ;)

If we were as large as the Ubuntu/Fedora/Suse/Debian comunity, it would be a great option... But we are "too small"...
I believe into shaping a bit more the anouncement, and email it again to Ladislav...
Whether we like it or not, Distrowatch is what rules in the Linux world, and I don't believe we can afford to ignore it... If we do so, it is to the detriment of potential new users, who would maybe browse DW, find Blag, adopt it, participate in the comunity, help... etc...
So no ego, here... Just submit the r7's anouncement... I would modify it a bit, as suggested in my previous post in this thread... Mention Blastersisk, the IRC channel, the FSF endorsement...
Now, if Ladislav still refuses to publish us, it will be time to think about something else...

With grace and femininity, this cross pendant will be a staple in your Western wardrobe. Sterling silver scrolls create a mesmerizing cross design while a bright red coral cabochon shines at the center. The pendant hangs from an oval link chain. Pendant measures 2-1/2" long x 1-1/2" wide with a medium fixed bail. Chain measures 17" long with a spring ring clasp. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Pupils from Wildern School in Hedge End have been crowned winners of this year's Hampshire Schools' Challenge after impressing the judging panel at the final in Winchester on Friday 13 December.
This year's Challenge invited schools to submit projects which would provide social interaction for elderly members of the community and increase understanding between generations. Five schools were selected as finalists and received £250 to begin work on their projects, before presenting their progress and aspirations to the judging panel.
Second place went to Baycroft School for their series of social events including bingo and tea dances, whilst Swanmore College was placed third with the serenity garden. The other finalists were Fort Hill Community School which hopes to develop a theatre production about the 1960s, and Brune Park Community School who are producing DVD and book based memory experiences detailing lives of residents at a local retirement home.
The team of pupils representing Wildern School demonstrated that their project, which involves developing a how-to guide for modern technology as well as running technology training sessions for elderly members of the community, was both imaginative and practical. Judges agreed that the project would improve the lives of elderly residents by providing them with useful skills and opportunities for interaction via tools such as email and Skype. The pupils also demonstrated increased understanding between generations, as they discussed how spending time with elderly members of the community had altered their perceptions of elderly people and improved their communication skills. Wildern School will now receive a further £1000 to complete their project.
Councillor Roy Perry, Leader of Hampshire County Council, said "I was delighted to have the opportunity to hear the wonderful presentations from the five schools, and was very impressed by the high quality of work that has already been completed. Whilst there can only be one winner, I would like to congratulate all of the finalists on their innovative and diverse projects and wish them the best of luck as they continue working on them. With Hampshire facing an ageing population, projects such as these, which provide social interaction and leisure activities for elderly residents whilst helping them to remain active, are incredibly valuable and it is particularly inspiring to see Hampshire's young people showing enthusiasm and flair for improving the lives of elderly residents in their local community."
The Hampshire Schools' Challenge is set annually by the Leader of Hampshire County Council to encourage schools and their pupils to develop new projects which benefit the local community.

Hi, I have to say I feel the October issue 2011 is as far as the front cover very misleading, why?
Well as you cannot actually see the back of the DVD cover as the whole thing is encased in a plastic sleeve along with the magazine all I could read was as far as the DVD goes A guide to digital printing & Scanning so I thought yes just what I need so I purchased the magazine only to find out afterwards that the DVD guide to the afore mentioned printing is only an extract from a full DVD, again I cannot see any mention of this on the DVD cover back or front or the magazine cover (maybe I missed it) if not then surely this is a contravention of the advertising standards laws!
Please dont get me wrong as what was on the DVD covering printing was interesting but as I say incomplete.
This is the reason I state that it is misleading.
Many Thanks

Part 2 A. The Dirge: Largo
Part 2 B. The Masque: Extremely fast
Part 2 C. The Epilogue: L'istesso tempo Adagio/Andante quasi cadenza Lento molto
Part One
A: The Prologue – four mixed-up characters in a Third Avenue bar try to sort themselves out: Quant, son of an Irish immigrant; Malin, a medical intelligence officer in the Canadian Air Force; Rosetta, a buyer for a big department store; and Emble, who is in the Navy. A very soft duet for clarinets is followed by a scalic descent on the flute acting as a 'bridge into the realms of the unconscious'.
B: The Seven Ages – a four-fold discussion, 'reasonable and didactic in tone'.
The seven variations, without a common theme, arise from aspects of previous sections.
1: A lyrical piano solo ending with the scalic descent on the harp.
2: Interactions between piano and orchestra.
3: Cantabile strings without piano.
4: A miniature scherzo in five-time (3/8 + 2/8).
5: A clarinet initiates a restless agitato.
6: A wistful piano solo.
7: Woodwinds lead into a long scalic descent from the piano.
C: The Seven Stages – seven more variations representing a dream-odyssey which symbolizes the inner journey of the four characters in various relationships leading to a 'hectic but indecisive close'.
8: A heavy passacaglia – a regular six-note figure in the bass.
9: A waltz related to the passacaglia theme, which increasingly dominates.
10: The piano leads off into rapid seven-beat figures (4/4 + 3/4).
11: The piano leads in a fugato.
12: A light moto perpetuo, mostly piano.
13: The piano retires and the passacaglia theme enters like a chorale.
14: The piano returns to dominate the ending.
Part Two
A: The Dirge – expressing the feelings of the four as they take a taxi together to Rosetta's apartment and lament the lack of a father-figure to disentangle their problems. The piano introduces the dirge with a rising Bergian twelve-note row. Bernstein described the middle section (mostly piano solo) of this 'strangely pompous lamentation' as of 'almost Brahmsian romanticism'.
B: The Masque – now the group at the apartment is 'weary, guilty, determined to have a party, each one afraid of spoiling the others' fun by admitting he should be home in bed'. This is a brilliant jazz-derived scherzo with an enchanting accompaniment of harp, celesta and percussion.
C: The Epilogue – the party has purged the four characters of their past and they now look towards faith as 'something pure', symbolized by the sound of a solo trumpet preceded by a distant piano in the orchestra playing echoes of the jazz masque. Then the tone becomes serious: a kind of chorale with interpolations, a piano cadenza recalling earlier themes, more distant piano, followed by a slow affirmation. Originally the piano was left out of the epilogue, apart from the one solo chord at the end. But in 1965 Bernstein revised this section to keep the piano involved. The opening duet for clarinets, the third variation and the main theme of the Epilogue all come from earlier works (see Leonard Bernstein by Humphrey Burton, 1994), but the overall conception behind this symphony about the individual desperately trying to make sense of his/her own destiny is a recurring theme in Bernstein's life and work. Here, in tandem with Auden, he embodies the dilemma in a unique way.

I was told it may be the water valve and the way to tell is put water in the ice tray and see if it is making ice.
OK. The ohm reads 241 on the red side and 284 on the blue side. So this means the water valve I ordered isn't needed. Right?
if it is just sitting there and not trying to harvesting the ice in the mold I am suspecting you have a defective module head on the ice maker, if this is out you will not get any water either since the ice maker has to cycle for it to give power to the fill valve to open and put the water into the icemaker mold....
Do I need a new icemaker?
OK. The ohm reads 241 on the red side and 284 on the blue side. So this means the water valve I ordered isn't needed. Right?Also, the fill tube didn't have an ice plug.
Well, I changed the water valve to no avail. The ice maker keeps cycling through like it is dumping ice, but no water. Any suggestions as why?
I ordered a new water valve and ice tray kit. That should get it.
How do you go about determining if the fill tube is frozen up with ice or not? When I had the ice maker apart I could stick a screw driver inside it. Thanks.

In order to sell his big match at Wrestlemania 3 against Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant was promoted as having an undefeated streak that stretched over fifteen years.

In professional wrestling, the term "gorilla position" is thrown around backstage in WWE, TNA, ROH and even some independent wrestling promotions. It is used to describe the backstage agent that gives instructions to the performers right before they go through the curtains.

Voiles has variously been translated as 'veils' or 'sails'. According to the composer's widow in 1924, the latter is correct. Here Debussy contrasts two of his favourite 'non-academic' scales, in the sense that they did not normally find their way into the French textbooks of the time: two passages of whole-tone harmony enclose six bars of pentatonicism. No semitones anywhere.
The complete line from which the title of the third piece comes is 'Le vent dans la plaine suspend son haleine' ('The wind in the plain holds its breath'), and Debussy depicts this with sudden withdrawals of material, leaving just a murmured background of semiquavers. The three sudden explosions in the middle of the piece are all the more striking. The fourth piece was also inspired by a line of poetry, from Baudelaire's Harmonie du soir, which Debussy had set as a song in 1889. Here the musical material is infused with the interval of a fourth, first rising, then falling, and a floating atmosphere is engendered by fluctuating bar lengths of 5/4 and 3/4. The sounds and scents finally evaporate to the sound of distant horns.
Of Les collines d'Anacapri Mme Debussy is reported as saying simply 'souvenir de Rome'. This may then date from Debussy's time at the Villa Medici in the 1880s, though the island of Capri lies 200 kilometers to the south; he did not see Rome again until 1914. Whatever the source, this piece introduces the 'vulgar' element into the Préludes—a series of popular songs building to a triumphant, lumineux conclusion.
With Des pas sur la neige we pass from the real to the imaginary. The stabbing iambic rhythms give the illusion of destroying movement, almost of destroying time. Above them, legato phrases try to gain a foothold, but can never lift the music louder than piano, although one phrase does bid fair to expand (from 2'24), marked expressif et tendre. But when it returns (at 3'09) it is marked comme un tendre et triste regret. This is a scene of physical and spiritual desolation from which Debussy offers no hope of escape, as symbolized by the hollow final chord with a gap of almost four octaves between the hands.
The seventh prelude paints a picture of violence rare in Debussy's music, with instructions such as strident, angoissé, incisif and furieux. This is no longer Impressionism (if indeed Debussy ever dealt in such a thing) but Expressionism, composed a year before Bartók's Allegro barbaro and two years before Prokofiev's Toccata. The title, Ce qu'a vu le vent d'ouest, is taken from Hans Christian Andersen's tale The Garden of Paradise but, as there is no hint of violence in this story, a parallel source might be Shelley's Ode to the West Wind, which Debussy had read in a French translation. It would be hard to find a better description of the piece than Shelley's 'the tumult of thy mighty harmonies'.
Mme Debussy duly noted that La fille aux cheveux de lin referred to a poem by Leconte de Lisle. But she went on to say that 'there is something else more definite, more real, far less literary that I can't commit to paper'. And she ends by saying to her interlocutor: 'This is just between the two of us.' A disengaged, invertebrate performance of the piece would therefore seem to be wide of the mark—and in any case we find in the original poem the lines 'I want to kiss your flaxen hair/And press the purple of your lips'.
The next two preludes show two ways in which Debussy tried to escape the often burdensome realities of early twentieth-century Paris. In La sérénade interrompue he takes us abroad, to Spain, a land not only of guitars but of dual, simultaneous streams of thought. What exactly is the meaning of the two 'um-chah' interruptions (at 1'29 and 1'39), borrowed from Debussy's own orchestral piece Ibéria? Are they jealous? Sneering? Debunking? Or just matter-of-factly uninvolved? We are left to make up our own minds. La cathédrale engloutie on the other hand conjures up the very precise image of the cathedral of Ys drowned by flood waters, as related in Breton legend. An opera on the subject, Le roi d'Ys, by Édouard Lalo, a composer Debussy admired, had been premiered at the Opéra-Comique in Paris in May 1888 and was given a hundred performances there in just over a year. Debussy must have seen it, and no doubt appreciated what Steven Huebner has called 'Lalo's pungent harmonic vocabulary and general avoidance of "filler" […] and Lalo's image as a solitary traveller'. Add to that the chance to depict cathedral bells sounding through water, and it is not hard to see the attraction.
The two final preludes of Book I are more light-hearted. Puck is Shakespeare's elf, in all likelihood found by Debussy, as Roy Howat has suggested, in an edition of 1908 with illustrations by Arthur Rackham. Puck's aerial acrobatics are first interrupted by and then blended with trumpet and horn calls. The minstrels of the last piece had performed on the promenade in front of the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne, where Debussy and his second wife spent part of the summer of 1905. The 'vulgar' elements are treated by Debussy in various sophisticated ways, including sudden jumps between keys and (at 0'54) a 'mocking' passage based on whole-tone chords. Both of these last two pieces were encored when Debussy premiered them.

Whoever told you to stack Agility's a nutcase and seriously ribbing you or has no idea what in the world they're talking about.
Most of the time, Strength is your optimum stat. For Blood, ArP helps out a lot as well and can surpass Strength when you get closer to the 100% cap. But if you don't want to break your head, go with Strength.
Strength leads the pack solely on the fact that you get 2 Ap per Strength, and almost 3 ap due to the DK mechanics. (We get something like 2.6ap per 1 point of Strength factoring Kings I believe.) This affects every single attack in your arsenal whereas ArP only affects the Physical aspects of your attacks. This is why Blood's ArP stacking is a good thing whereas Frost and Unholy tend to like it less (This isn't saying that ArP is bad for both specs, it just doesn't heed as much benefit as Blood would.)
In short, you wanna always go Strength unless you're approaching the cap of 100% either with a trinket proc or hard cap through gear. Then, it turns out to what spec you are: If you're Blood, it's worth going to the 100%. If you're the other specs, I believe it's still better to stack Strength instead.

IRIS Nights lecturer Paul Lange
Some of the photos on the screen looked more like paintings or digitally constructed portraits then the straight film or digital photography which they truly are. But as Lange pointed out, that was his goal. He manipulated the photos during exposure in-camera by simply experimenting with chemical processing methods.
"A photo is not just a model posing. I want my photographs to be like paintings," said Lange. "I want them to be long living."
He even went into detail explaining how a photo could be double exposed, cross processed or dye transferred - terms that had all the non-photographers struggling to keep up.
"It's fun just playing with the rules. They work more often then they don't work so the key is to just try it," said Lange in reference to his experimental work.
Lange's diverse career led him to the world of fashion, photographing top models and celebrities from around the globe. He combined his fine art training with the fashion staples of good hair, makeup and perfect lighting to create his unique and polished style. Lange still creates all of his photographs in-camera and does not digitally alter them in post-production.
Lange explained that digital filters don't have the poetry that film does. "There is a translucent quality that you get by chance with film..." said Lange passionately, "otherwise it is too uniform."
Lange kept coming back to ideas of mystery, chance, passion and poetry relying on the imagery of a 'paint-like quality' to describe his photographic style.
His unique photographs were not the sole reason this night was different from our other lectures; last night was also the first time the Annenberg Space for Photography held two lectures by a photographer in one evening.
The night was so successful that we hope to do more double-header lectures in the future, giving our guests twice the opportunity to attend!
Thank you Paul Lange for giving two lovely presentations!

In my dating experience, I have noticed that if a guy and a girl are friends for long enough, one or both of them becomes happy in the complacency of their friendship and would not be open to turning their friendship into one that involved dating.
It seems to me that dating is something people only consider when they are first meeting a potential date. After that people categorize their friends as "oh, well apparently they are not interested so neither should I".
But what if due to other circumstances such as meeting someone at a time when you are not in the dating market or just simply didnt think about dating them right away but changed your mind later?
Particularly asking the women out there, if a guy who was a long time friend were to start being interested in dating you at a time when the two of you were both available to date, how can the "friendship complacency" be broken resulting in starting to date one another?
And to the guys, if you have been in a similar situation, have you ever asked out and then dated a "long time friend"? If so, how were you two able to make the transition?

Mozart: String Quartets K499 & 589
CDA66458 Archive Service
Movement 1: Allegro
Movement 2: Larghetto
Movement 3: Menuetto: Moderato
Movement 4: Allegro assai
The explanation seems to lie in the special terms of Frederick William's commission. The Prussian king was a keen amateur cellist, and collected chamber music with prominent cello parts. In 1786, the year of his accession, he obtained quartets of this sort from Pleyel, and engaged Boccherini—who had developed the string quintet with two cellos—as his chamber composer. The next year Frederick William commissioned a set of quartets from Haydn, his Opus 50. Haydn, as we might expect, did not respond simply by giving the cello concerto-like passages, for that would have fatally loosened his spare, concentrated musical architecture. Instead, he brought the cello into the musical argument by using the sort of motivic, semi-contrapuntal writing that he had just developed for his 'Seven Last Words'; he made its quartet version about the time he began Opus 50. By 1789, however, Mozart had taken what he needed from Haydn's quartet style, and was ready to move in a different direction. The royal cellist is indulged in expansive solos that take his instrument high into the treble clef; and to even things up the other members of the ensemble are given similar material. The result at times is rather like a sinfonia concertante without orchestra; or, more precisely, like the type of quatuor concertant that was popular in France, and had been popularised by Boccherini (who worked mainly in Spain, but whose chamber music was mostly published in Paris). Boccherini's Opus 24 quartets of 1777 also have brilliant cello parts, and may be the immediate models of Mozart's 'Prussian' quartets.
It may be that Mozart failed to complete the Prussian quartets not just because he was pressed for money. Many writers have noticed echoes of Figaro and Così fan tutte in them (Così was written and produced while he was struggling with them), and Mozart may eventually have found that the brilliant, concertante writing he gave to all four stringed instruments was more naturally deployed in opera or the concerto. We may feel that Mozart's instinct was correct, for in the subsequent history of the classical string quartet the quatuor concertant turned out to be a blind alley, shunned by the great composers. But the 'Prussian' quartets certainly contain a wealth of wonderful music, and their troubled genesis gives them a special place in Mozart's works.

Whether or not Brahms was consciously aware of it, the theme of the slow movement is essentially an inverted form of the opening Allegro's second subject. The sonority in which the theme is first heard is of a leanness that might have appealed to Haydn. It has the melody entrusted to the first violin, while viola and cello accompany with a smoothly flowing line moving in parallel octaves. Following this two-stranded texture, the full quartet sound emerges only gradually. For his contrasting middle section Brahms again takes a leaf out of Schubert's book, and writes a dramatic, agitated passage in the minor. But the outburst is short-lived, before the emergence of a resigned, warmly lyrical theme in the major. It is this new theme that will later be used to bring the piece to a gentle conclusion—but not before Brahms has presented a full-scale reprise of the opening theme in the 'wrong' key of F major. The false reprise, if such it is, is perhaps Brahms's compensation for the fact that all four of the quartet's movements are in the same tonality of A.
For his third movement, Brahms makes a nostalgic return to the world of the eighteenth-century minuet. But this is no straightforward minuet, and in place of a trio it has a delicate scherzo-like passage in a quicker tempo. It is, then, a dual-purpose piece of a kind more often found in Brahms's three-movement works, where the centrepiece can function as slow movement and scherzo rolled into one—as it does in the Violin Sonata in A major Op 100 and the String Quintet in F major Op 88. In the A minor String Quartet the integration between the two opposing types of material is particularly subtle: the scherzo-like passage is briefly interrupted by a return to the tempo of the minuet—once again in the 'wrong' key; but rather than invoke the minuet's actual theme, the intervention is based on the melodic outline of the scherzo.
The finale derives much of its tension from a metrical conflict between theme and accompaniment. The main subject gives the impression of being largely in duple metre, while its emphatic chordal accompaniment is in a firm triple time. The phrases of the theme's second half, moreover, divide the 3/4 bar into two equal halves of one-and-half beats, so that the accompaniment, remaining very much on the beat, sounds more dislocated than ever. The conflict is resolved towards the end of the piece, where the theme is transmuted into a gentle, albeit syncopated, waltz in the major. But in the end Brahms will have none of such whimsy, and the music turns back to the minor, and hurtles inexorably towards an accelerated conclusion.

Remember when Manti Te'o was boring? I remember half-watching the Heisman ceremony in December and thinking that Te'o seemed like a non-entity—someone who made Collin Klein, a man about whom the most interesting facts are the extra "L" in his first name and that he basically didn't touch his wife before they got married—seem scintillating. Te'o struck many as a deer in headlights well before the Kekua saga, and now he's retreating down that path again, just a big ol' football guy with not much he's willing (or able) to talk about except being a big ol' football guy. Unless he's in the green room on draft day, Manti Te'o's media availability today at the NFL scouting combine, during which he wore that shirt to distract attention from the fake girlfriend angle, might be our last tiny glimpse of Interesting Te'o for years. It was a wild five weeks.
Anyway, here's what went on, more or less, in case you were outside or not watching Twitter or the NFL Network today, a Saturday, one of a limited number of Saturdays you'll ever experience on this earth:
Sea of reporters waiting for Manti Te'o. #NFLCombine twitter.com/MarcSesslerNFL…— Marc Sessler (@MarcSesslerNFL) February 23, 2013

Looks like Manti Te'o is handling this grilling fine. Really wanting to move on to football topics. Says "I could've handling things better"— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 23, 2013
Te'o is opening up. Says it was "embarrassing" to go thru his catfish situation. If he was embarrassed still, he said, he wouldn't be here— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 23, 2013
Manti Te'o: "What I bring to the table is a lot of heart, a lot of energy, and somebody who works hard."— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) February 23, 2013
Te'o said he has not considered taking legal action against Ronaiah Tuiasosopo.— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) February 23, 2013
Te'o said the hardest moment was a phone call from sister about sneaking their family home to avoid people parked in the front yard.— Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) February 23, 2013
Manti Te'o says he's met with the Texans and Packers, and has 18 more meetings set for this week.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) February 23, 2013
Te'o takes a moment to thank everyone in his life at the end. Says he hopes, because he answered everything, we can move on.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 23, 2013
Te'o says the lesson he's taken is to "Keep your circle very small. ... I just learned to appreciate the people around me."— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) February 23, 2013
Manti Te'o is having one of the most boring press conferences he's ever had actually.— Bryan Fischer (@BryanDFischer) February 23, 2013
And then it was over. We'll have video soon, just to savor the moment. Bye, Interesting Te'o!

SAN ANTONIO—Tony Parker had 31 points and the San Antonio Spurs earned their eighth consecutive win by shutting down the Phoenix Suns in the final quarter for a 108-99 victory on Saturday night.
Manu Ginobili added 20 points, Tiago Splitter had 13, Boris Diaw finished with 11 for San Antonio (36-11), which has won 16 in a row at home.
The Spurs were without Tim Duncan (sore knee) and coach Gregg Popovich (illness) for a third consecutive game.
Michael Beasley had 25 points and Jared Dudley scored 23 for the Suns (15-29), who lost for the first time since coach Lindsey Hunter took over.
Parker had 11 points and five assists as San Antonio outscored Phoenix 27-17 in the fourth, forcing six turnovers in the period. The All-Star point guard finished 13 for 17 from the field and only had three turnovers in 34 minutes.
The Spurs turned up their defensive pressure in the final period, forcing three turnovers and three missed shots while building a 96-88 lead with 6:21 remaining. Parker had four points and an assist in the 7-0 run, racing down the court for a layup after stepping in front of a pass by Markieff Morris.
San Antonio grabbed control after Ginobili was knocked down by Shannon Brown with 31.4 seconds left in the third, leading to a flagrant foul and an ejection.
Brown struck Ginobili violently across the side of the head as he attempted to recover defensively after getting beat off the dribble. Ginobili also was undercut by Morris almost simultaneously, leading to loud jeers by the crowd. The ejection shocked Brown, who watched mouth agape as the foul was replayed on the video screen.
The play invigorated Ginobili, who had two steals and a 3 to bridge the third and fourth quarters and tie the game at 84.
Just as it did in Wednesday's 106-102 victory over New Orleans, San Antonio struggled early.
The Spurs missed their first three shots while failing to score in the first 3 minutes. After Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard each missed a 3, Parker scored on a layup after Goran Dragic fell while attempting to backpedal defensively.
The basket sparked the Spurs, who made their next 10 attempts in a 22-13 run. Parker scored 10 points during the run, including a layup that put San Antonio up 22-19 with 4 minutes left.
Beasley scored 10 points in the second quarter, including six during an 11-6 surge that put Phoenix ahead 49-48 with 4:21 left in the half.
