A mother of three continues to fight for her life in the hospital after a shooting that left one dead Friday night.
Around 11:30 p.m., emergency crews with the Benton Harbor Department of Public Safety were called to 791 Ogden St. Arriving on the scene, they found two victims suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Police say Gary Alilovich, 25, was shot multiple times and declared dead at the scene.
Heather Poe, 35, was transported and treated at a nearby hospital for multiple gunshot wounds. As of Saturday morning, Poe was listed in critical condition.
"I been praying so hard because she got to pull through, she just got to pull through," said Poe's friend Sandra Gordon. "She got three kids."
Eyewitness accounts pointed police in the direction of siblings, Jovan Davis, 28, of Benton Harbor and Ashley Davis, 19, of Grand Forks, North Dakota.
Witnesses say an argument broke out inside the home after Alilovich tried to stop Jovan Davis from assaulting Poe. Jovan Davis is accused of pulling out a gun and firing at Alilovich and Poe. Afterward, his sister allegedly took a turn shooting both victims.
"It's so strange how you can be with someone one night and then the same night they're just laying there in critical condition," Gordon said.
She called Alilovich a "hero" for trying to break up the fight before shots were fired.
"It's just so sad he had to lose his life during that altercation," she said. "But, I thank him. I know it's hard for his family, but we praying that Heather can pull through."
Jovan Davis was arrested on suspicion of with open murder, assault with intent to murder, felony firearm, felon in possession of a firearm and carrying a concealed weapon.
Ashley Davis is charged with open murder, felony firearm, and assault.
Both siblings were booked at the Berrien County Jail as the police investigation continues.

The Algebra of Differential Forms
We've defined the exterior bundle over a manifold . Given any open we've also defined a -form over to be a section of this bundle: a function such that . We write for the collection of all such -forms over . It's straightforward to see that this defines a sheaf on .
This isn't just a sheaf of sets; it's a sheaf of modules over the structure sheaf of smooth functions on . We define the necessary operations pointwise:
where the right hand sides are defined by the vector space structures on the respective .
We can go even further and define the sheaf of differential forms
This sheaf is not just a sheaf of modules over , it's a sheaf of algebras. For an and a , we define their exterior product pointwise:
In fact, this is a graded algebra, and the multiplication has degree zero:
Even better, this is a unital algebra. We see this by considering the zero grade, since the unit must live in the zero grade. Indeed, , so sections of are simply functions on . That is, . Given a function we will just write instead of .

I had never heard of the brand and ordered this based on a few rave reviews. And I'm glad I did. This cream makes my skin bright and glowing. Because my skin is oily, I only use a tiny amount to get the lovely effect. This also erases fine lines impressively. An added plus is that this cream doesn't seem to clog pores (in my case, virtually everything does). Smells of honey.

At last a product that is safe for my sensitive skin. I've tried many products that claim to be for sensitive skin but could not tolerate, so I'm thrilled that I can actually use Honey Girl Organics, Face & Eye Creme, Extra Sensitive. I have combination skin and it works equally well for both oily and dry areas. I just use it sparingly on the oily areas. The result is happy, glowing skin. Discoloration caused by using herbal plant products is gradually clearing up. Hallelujah! FYI, this is the order of ingredients as listed on the jar: purified water, organic extra virgin oive oil, beeswax with pollen & propolis, raw pupukea honey, vit E, royal jelly.

包装太山寨 I've never heard of this brand. When I check the ingredients, I find it's a simple moisturiser.That's what I need. Too many ingredients make it a burden on skin.Simple is best. It's not greasy and I have no allergies. Thanks lord.

The texture of the cream is smooth like butter. It glides on smoothly and moisturize the skin from the deepest layer. I feel my skin baby soft and flawless after using the cream. The main point is that it is made with 10000% (not a typo, i really mean it!) natural ingredients! a true Health and Beauty product!

Samsung launches 'world's first' Android MP3 player
Samsung has announced the launch of its latest PMP - apparently the world's first Android powered MP3 player, according to the company, which appears to have missed Archos' Google OS offerings. The Samsung Galaxy Player 50 has a 3.2in touchscreen, 2Mp camera and comes with either 8GB or 16GB of storage, expandable using Micro SD …
What a pity ... no phone or SMS?
Having gone so far it would not have cost that much more to make it a handset.
Good to see Samsung is using a standard audio connector instead of the multi-pin things it used on it'd earlier handsets.
I think Archos will have to take a pencil to it's price list.
Erm, well yes it would
If you look at the cost of equivalent phones they are substantially more expensive for equivalent spec. in other regards.
I guess it depends on the quality of the components, but there is no reason why something that is less sophisticated shouldn't be cheaper.
For someone that already has a phone, it makes no sense to replace it with another phone that you don't intend to use as a phone.
Another bad iPod clone... with Linux Android it sucks...
The whole Linux Android thing is a real nightmare to both developers and users.
Programming on Android any application it's just crazy, it doesn't matter that Google approves any garbage application submitted to them no question asked when a developer has to deal with nonsense lack of clear standard specifications among devices and a disgusting Java like virtual machine using web oriented languages like Javascript instead of good plain C/C++ with a proper set of APIs. And running all of that on top of a Linux system doesn't help either.
With all the Apple limitations programming on Apple iOS OSX Unix Mach-BSD based it's way easier. And the end user experience it's guaranteed to be better as well even with garbage apps when they get approved.
Thanks for that.
You have obviously had a good play with one, and written apps for it (not bad in the one day its been announced).
Nice one.
(and there are very good reasons why C/C++ is not the best choice for apps for these sorts of devices. And since both the Apple device and Android run over a very similar kernel ie Un*x, I'm not sure what you are getting at in your final point))
These are the droids we're looking for.
My daughter was asking for an iTouch before Christmas and I put her off because of the latest 'Droid developments and I indeed looked at the Archos 70 which, although a little bigger then the Touch, looks very cool indeed and the price hits the right mark.
I put her off though because I could see that things were going to develop apace over the next month or two. Practically everyone (except Archos) seems to have forgotten the niche filled by iTouch for small media devices that are not phones running Android.
Here's looking for forward to further development in this area.
Depends on the niche you're referring to.
I have a Cowon/iAudio J3 (32GB). True, it doesn't do apps in quite the same way (only dodgy flash games), but it does have a really nice touchscreen, a coverflow-like system (not that I use it), brilliant battery, and great codec support.
In addition, it has microSD expansion (with proper library integration) and it can be used as a normal mass-storage device on any computer :)
And that's not even talking about the sound quality.
Unfortunately, I can understand why some people might find it a little bit techy, and even I'm disappointed with the playlist support.
Since I have an Android phone, I'm not really looking for anything more complicated than that (though, wifi file transfer would be a bonus, I suppose).
Good Catch
I was about to launch head first into a rant about the Archos having a plethora of Android devices but you got there first. Surely Samsung's PR people could have just Googled "android MP3 player"
Creative Android PMP
The Creative Zen Touch 2 is Android and has been out for awhile as well: http://us.store.creative.com/ZEN-Touch-2-8GB-Black/M/B004EVV3L6.htm
Maybe Samsung is taking the definition of "world's first" from Apple?
Also do an Android player as well.
iPod Touch
aha, at last a device to rival the iPod Touch!
Similar Screen Size and an OS with a good browser; OK App Market and Flash.
Price is slightly cheaper than the iPod Touch as well.
However we need info on whether this is a SAMOLED type screen (which would make it possibly unbeatable for videos,but "possibly" rubbish <TROLL ALERT> for web browsing on such a small screen.
... buy an Orange San Francisco for £99, add a 16Gb micro sd card for £20 and you've got practically the same thing with added phone & internet functionality and spent £30 less.
So close yet so far!!!
I love the fact that it has official access to the Android Marketplace, but otherwise going by the pix and info on other websites, this is (for a nonphone music player) still too thick, and plasticky... Also the battery life (25/30 hrs music & 5 hours video) falls short of the iPod touch (40 hrs & 7 hours)... And then there's the just OK screen resolution on the Sammy... and the older Android OS instead of the latest, etc.... Come on Sammy, you're so close!
So long as the sound quality and battery life are up to par this could be the PMP I've been waiting for. I've got an android phone but I'd rather have a separate PMP and so long as I can use Spotify offline on it this could be perfect.
I might wait a bit longer to see if Sony get around to an andy pmp but I suspect I'll be in for a long wait.

On Monday, Rita Ora was celebrating her 22nd birthday with Cara Delevingne and the following night, the pair were hitting the red carpet for the British Fashion Awards 2012. 'I was in the country with my family and friends and we got drunk and had a good night,' the songstress told us in her husky tones. 'Cara's a great human'. That was clear to see when Rita larked about with her catwalking bestie at yesterday's bash, posing for the paps with their arms wrapped round each other (witness our Instagram snaps for proof).
The blonde bombshell arrived for the event swathed in a gorgeously feminine bustier gown by Vivienne Westwood and exclusively told Grazia Daily, 'I've always been a fan of Vivienne and I think she's one of the definitions of British fashion so I thought I would go for a classic'.
It was a saavy move, which comes as no surprise considering Rita's been reading her Grazia. 'I was literally just reading Grazia!' she said when we grabbed her on the red carpet. 'I was looking at your comments on my MTV EMAs dress. That was a special dress.' So what does she make of her glamour-meets-grunge vibe being compared to Rihanna's? 'I think she's cool, but we couldn't be any more different, she said adamantly. 'She's from the Islands and I'm from Kosovo.'
2012 has certainly been quite the ride for Rita who has become the hottest star on planet pop. Not only has she bagged a brilliantly bonkers BFF, but earlier this year Superga announced that the singer would be replacing ultimate hipster Alexa Chung as the face of the brand.
'I could talk about this all day!' she trilled about the collaboration. 'It's amazing, I'm excited. I love their brand and they know that I love wearing flats when I perform. It's a great thing to be a part of and fits very well with my vibe.'
Rita might have been rubbing shoulders with Alexa at the ceremony, but she didn't take the chance to grill her for Superga tips. 'I was looking at Alexa's pictures thinking, "She looks so great, what if I don't do as great as her?" but it's a completely different shoot. It's more about how my style is.' Consider us on the edge of our seats.

Post subject: The Prime Directive Song Challenge
I think coming up with good story ideas is the hardest part of running a game. You got to keep it fresh. Well, here is a way we can help each other, and challenge each other.
On the RPG.net forums, there have been a bunch of threads taking lists of songs and creating adventures based on the title. For example, it all started with a guy who made a series of plots based on Elton John songs (which is no longer on the 'net, darn, it was good). Since then, it has been done for the Serenity RPG, Buffy, and more.
Here's an example from the thread
It is from a list of plots based on 30 Punk songs. Here is one:
"Know Your Rights" by The Clash
*Hook: "And so, Captain Reynolds, it is the verdict of this court that you be taken from this place and hanged by the neck until dead."
*Problem: We open with the Captain's neck in a noose...
*Complications: He's about to swing for a crime he may or may not have committed, but either way he was grabbed up sharpish and the trial is notably short and lacking in such niceties as genuine evidence. Busting him out will take some doing, but finding out why he's in should be interesting as well.
*Resolution: Sort out the hanging judge who was bought by a troublesome enemy in the Verse's underground to swing the trial his way.
*Fun Stuff: A trumped-up court case. Busting the Captain out of his impending hanging.
Theme: Do you break an unjust law?
Well, let's do it for Prime Directive.
I like the way they do it, creating an episode, well, "these are the voyages," of our characters in the SFU. Here is the points used to build a story for this:
*Teaser: How the crew gets involved in the story. Think of the opening of any Trek episode.
*Problem: The big picture of what's actually going on, and what is behind it.
*Complications: Other factors, external or internal, which keep the plot turning and make things interesting.
*Resolution: Possible outcomes, revelations or a few ways the story may end.
*Fun Stuff: Ideas for cool scenes or events that the players will talk about after the game.
*Themes: The subtext behind it all. Every trek story has one.
Here is one I just made up in two minutes:
Example: "Mister Roboto" by Styx
*Teaser: The team beams down to a planet to aide a colony suffering a devastating illness. When they get there, they find everyone is cured.
*Problem: In their hour of need, a machine creature came down and healed them, replacing their bodies with android bodies. However, his intentions were not good. The colonists have embedded in them a piece of the machine's consciousness, and it is destroying their humanity and making them copies of himself.
*Complications: The colonist begin to act strange, then revolt on the crew, perhaps trying to turn one or more into robots. They attempt to take over the crew's ship, to transport the "colonists" back to a major planet to infect all of its computers.
*Resolution: The crew must find a way to neutralize the robots, and more importantly stop the machine consciousness.
*Fun stuff: The medical officer discovering the colonists are robots. Fending off the robots to protect the ship. One of the colonists connects with the ship's computer and tries to infect it. The crew finds that this machine creature may be the reason a nearby starbase shut down, and all life support failed. The secret behind the Machine creature and how the GIA was involved in its creation.
*Theme: Some gifts are too good to be true.
That was off the cuff based on the title, I think we can do much better!
I am going to do an album, Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" as a series of adventures (maybe connected). I will post in a day or so (as I have to work on it between a graphics project). Give it your try as well.
Let's have fun!

Post subject: Dark Side of the Moon
"Dark Side of the Moon"
A Prime Directive series of adventures inspired by Pink Floyd's album.
Note: The album is a "concept album," dealing with insanity, asking if anyone is truly sane, with essays on growing old, war, how money changes you, etc. I decided to make an "album" of linked adventures, dealing with some of the same issues. Also, I cheated a little. Between "Us and Them" an "Brain Damage" is a short linking instrumental piece called "Any Colour You Like." I ended up dumping both because it really seems more like a transition than a real piece, and it interrupted the story flow. Enjoy! Oh, and sorry for the bad grammar... this was very much free writing, just throwing things from my head into Word.
Track 1: "Speak to Me"
*Teaser: The players begin as a group of scientists, working on "something" for the GIA. Alarms sound, and the secret research base finds itself under attack! As armed humans overwhelm the scientists… the POV switches to the players real characters, a Prime Team on a nearby Fast Frigate. They receive the distress call an proceed there.
*Problem: Who are the attackers? What do they want?
*Complications: The team finds the scientists dead. They begin their investigation, then a GIA agent, Falco, rushes to the scene, trying to cover something up and butting heads with the team.
*Resolution: Falco comes around, realizing the team is his best hope to stop this. He briefs them on the research project, a Top Secret gas that is bio-engineered to cause rage against those of a different species. He also identifies the terrorists as "Earthers," who want Earth to become isolationist and stop relations with non-humans. This gas could be key, turning the races on each other.
*Fun Stuff: Playing the scientists as they get slaughtered. Entering the research facility and making sure it is cleared. The GIA jerks them around. The GIA justifying the creation of the gas.
*Theme: We think we can control everything we create.
Track 2: "Breathe (In The Air)"
*Teaser: The team is on alert, waiting for action. The GIA contacts them. Then he has them proceed to space station V-9 on the Klingon neutral zone. Violence is breaking out… looks like the gas.
*Problem: The team finds the station in bad shape. Gangs fight throughout the station, grouped by species. They detect the reactor core of the station is overloading and will explode in two hours. As they contact the station chief, he tells him he is aware. "We are losing, but those aliens can't win of nobody can win." They team needs to get to security, lock down all hatches and door to stem the violence, and stop the reactor from blowing (not in that order, probably).
*Complications: Meeting violent aliens along the way. Getting the station commander to open up security. Stopping the reactor. Trying to save lives.
*Resolution: The station may explode. After the crises is over, a hidden ship that was watching, takes off, and is chased by the team's ship.
*Fun Stuff: Trying to fight the opponents but not hurt them. Reasoning with the station manager. Disarming the core. Having a team with multiple species has no friends among their own kind, because of "racial mixing."
*Theme: Racism.
Track 3: "On the Run"
*Teaser: The team tacks the small ship to Mad Jack's Hole, the Orion trading world in the neutral zone between Kzinti and Klingon space. They lose track of the ship, and need to land to continue the investigation… however the Federation has no jurisdiction there. They find out that a Klingon ex-patriot, Krat, is a kingpin of data trading in Mad Jack's Hole. He was part of Klingon Intelligence, and knows everything going on the world.
*Problem: Finding the ship. More importantly, finding allies in this dangerous world, and avoid being killed, sold as slaves, or shipped off as a Kzinti treat.
*Complications: This is full of social situations. Wheeling and dealing whatever they have for information and help. And getting into a lot of close scrapes.
*Resolution: The team is captured by Krat's men. He knows who they are exactly, down to their service numbers and parents names. He orders them killed, when the room shakes and a group of thugs break in to kill Krat. They fend them off, and Krat owes them his life. He agrees to help them, if they can help him get something back that was stolen. (Cliffhanger folks).
*Fun Stuff: All of the fun criminal elements here, plus vices galore.
*Theme: Being out of your element.
Track 4: "Time"
*Teaser: Opens with the team raiding a warehouse full of thugs in a quick shootout. They retrieve the Tourus, an object built by the Old Kings. They get on their ship to take it back to Krat, but a pirate ship attacks. It overhelms them, an pirates begin to beam on. Then the Tourus glows. A flash of light!!! It is now twenty years in the future. A clink of glasses: the team is older now, toasting something. But they have no memory of the twenty years.
*Problem: Putting the timeline o twenty years together. An admiral sends a gift: they were toasting their rescue. They find the Earth is isolated and at war with a Klingon/Romulan coalition, but losing. They start to hear a subspace radio transmission that NO ONE ELSE can detect, with their voices calling for help. They will discover it is originating from the point in space near Mad Jack's.
*Complications: Krat has decided to pay them back for the loss of his Torus on this anniversary, so the crew finds itself persued by the Klingon and a pair of hitmen. They need to get a ship, somehow, to get there. No one will take them because of the war. They will have to "get" a ship.
*Resolution: They get back to the point in space. The subspace radio signal is strong. They can use the warp engines to destabilize it, opening a tunnel. As they pass through they fire on the pirate ship, forcing it away. Their ship fades from existence. Inside the ship they remember the alternate timeline, and the importance of what they are doing. They deliver the Torus, and Krat hands over a member of the terrorists, who was left behind as his friends escaped.
*Fun Stuff: The WTF?? Beginning. Discovering the last twenty years. Trying to convince people of the subpace transmission, but no one believes. Krat being nutty. Possible stealing a ship. The battle against the pirate ship.
*Theme: Making things right!
Track 5: "The Great Gig in the Sky"
*Teaser: Acting on information from the informant, the crew take a Free Trader (suppied by Krat, and it should be in real crappy shape) and pose as musicians in a battle of the bands at a nearby space station's nightclub called "The Great Gig in the Sky." They crew head there, to see if they can find the Earthers.
*Problem: The crew need to pose as a band. The contest is on, but they will not be taking the stage for sometime. They need to poke around and investigate the club. Eventually, they become aware of an area underneath the backstage area.
*Complications: Pretending to be a band. Getting called just as they find the underneath area, and having to deal with appearing who they are. Getting past the guards to the underneath. Breaking up the ring below.
*Resolution: The team breaks up a smuggling operation under the backstage area. Drugs, illegal items, etc. They have a shipment of fusion primers, used for WMDs, for the Earthers. At the end they should also have stopped the Earther ship, and have it for themselves.
*Fun Stuff: A bunch of Star Fleet Officers posing as a band. LOL Plus, you can make tons of Spinal Tap references. Like have them get lost backstage trying to find the stage.
*Theme: Sex, drugs and Rock and Roll!!!!
Track 6: "Money"
*Teaser: Side two (remember 12" LPs?) begins with the team in transit to the world where the Earthers willpick up the goods to take back to their secret base. It is a small frontier town (kind of like a planet out of Firefly). The old west feel is alive as they land, finding many of the shops boarded up and disruptor blasts defacing buildings. The hear their ship lifting off. The sheriff comes out. "Y'all lose a ship? Where is the sheriff when you need him. When they say, "you're the sheriff," the sheriff tosses the badge to a member of the crew. "You're the sheriff now. If you and your deputies solve our problems, you will get your ship back.
*Problem: A gang riding robot horses is terrorizing the town and robbing shipments, have stolen all the money from the bank. The crew need to confront and stop them.
*Complications: The bad guys are Klingons.
*Resolution: Its all up to the crew. Of course, an OK Corral kind of ending is cool. Then they get their ship back and meet the Earthers as they land, arresting them.
*Fun Stuff: It's a cowboy adventure.
*Theme: Dealing with bullies.
Track 7: "Us and Them"
*Teaser: Taking the Earther's ship, they travel to the Earther's nearby hidden base: a temple complex of a dead civilization, dressed in Earther graffiti (kind of a neo-Nazi feel). They land, the goods are taken, and the crew welcomed. They place is full of a few hundred human men, women and children. The leader appears on a rising dias. It is Falco, the GIA agent from "Speak to Me." He smiles, at them and then they find themselves being beamed…. Into a small stone room.
*Problem: Surviving. As Falco taunts them, tells them of a future without aliens, and kids with them about not seeing the obvious plot twist that Falco was in on it (that is why he was so near the first station in "Speak to Me").
*Complications: Each puzzle needs to be interesting. They are large room, designed by the dead civilization, as a testing ground for warriors. Every test is built of iron age technology. This is a good place to pull out some old DND adventures and use puzzles from them! (magic=technology)
*Resolution: At the end puzzle, they think they have escaped, only to find themselves gassed, and they black out (another Cliffhanger!)
*Fun Stuff: Old school RPG puzzles. Keeping the banter going and fresh with Flaco, who always tries to get their goat.
*Theme: Everyone thinks their worldview is right, and it is easy to dehumanize people to turn them into scapegoats.
Track 8: "Brain Damage"
*Teaser: The team awakes, in different areas on a Federation world where a multi-member meeting is going on. At first everything is cloudy, then they realize they are looking out their eyes, but cannot control their bodies. They become aware that each carries a gas device.
*Problem: They need to fight to regain control of themselves. As some succeed, they need to stop their other selves from succeeding. One gas bomb and everything is over.
*Complications: As they overcome their programming, Falco realizes it, and alerts the security using his GIA clearance to hunt down the "free" team members.
*Resolution: If the team stops the gas attack, Falco uses his GIA codes to lock down the bays. Sensors become aware of a spot on the sun: a large suicide shuttle is on the way.
*Fun Stuff: The crew fighting for control. Running from guards to save the day.
*Theme: Being in control of your actions.
Track 9: "Eclipse"
*Teaser: The crew works to bypass the GIA lockouts from the landing bay. As they do it, they jump in a ship and head for the suicide shuttle. However, their weapons and tractors are offline due to more lock out protocols.
*Problem: The team beams over, and must work to get around a series of lock outs, and fight Earther guards, to get to the control room.
*Complications: The Earther guards are fanatical. Also, Falco is aware they are there, and again taunts them, making allusion to the maze he had them play in. He attempts to push their buttons to make it harder for them to get their job done, using GIA social combat to give penalties to the crew's attempts to bypass lock outs.
*Resolution:They get in and confront Falco, who fights them, trying to become the "martyr" for the new revolution. After defeating him, they gain control of the freighter and park it in orbit.
*Fun Stuff: More fun Falco taunting, as he should be a little more crazy here. Some good fights as well.
*Theme: Everything is on the line: You gotta get 'er done!

The Opera Bastille is the newer of the two opera houses in Paris. It was first designed by a Canadian architect named Carlos Ott and then constructed in 1989. This building is also the larger of the two main opera houses in Paris and gets its name from the Place de la Bastille. You can see th gigantic structure, covering an entire city block, from all the hotels near Opera Bastille. It is almost 30 stories high and ten of these are below ground. There are over 22,000 square metres on each level of the structure.
The Opera Bastille is so immense that there are probably well over 45 kilometers of corridors in this building. The opera auditorium and stage occupy only four percent of the building's volume which can also attest to its immense size. It seats something over 2700 people which is quite large even by typical opera standards. The remaining parts of this cavernous edifice are dedicated to backstage areas. These parts of the Opera Bastille include the many workshops and all the infrastructure that is necessary to support a world-class grand-opera production. If you are planning your tour through Paris this year, don't forget to check out the Opera Bastille as you will not be disappointed.

I though this dress was going to be a little bit more luxe...feels a little bit cheap, especially for the price. I found this to be especially true for the skirt which feels too light at the hem. It's also a bit too short for me--not a flattering length. For me the shoulders fit fine but the waist seemed a tad too big as well.

I really loved this dress, especially the design and the pink daquiri color. Unfortunately I found it very difficult if almost impossible to put on. First the side zipper didn't go down all the way and got stuck by the banded waistline so I was afraid to even pull it too hard lest I broke the zipper. Then the back buttons on the dress had to be undone also and unless you have someone to help you it would be very difficult to do by yourself.So I never got to even try it on. The description should have noted the back button closures. One assumes they are decorative only. Regretfully, I had to return it and find another dress for an upcoming summer wedding.

The dress is beautiful on the hanger and so is the color. But the dress is much too short to wear for a dressy occasion. I am 5'6" - probably shorter than the model shown here - yet the dress ends well above my knees. Boden, you need to depict the length more realistically by dressing the model in the same version buyers will receive.

Though it was in my usual size, the dress was tight in the rib cage. It's very well made, and even lovely, but it didn't flatter me. I got the impression that it would fit better on someone without a bosom or wide hips.

[ADOBE® TV] [tv.adobe.com] Hi, I'm Wes Plate, Product Manager for Adobe Prelude. In this video I'm going to show you how you can use the new Adobe Story panel in Prelude to help you turn your scripts or transcripts into searchable metadata to help you find exactly the right word. In this project I have ingested several interview clips. We can save ourselves a lot of time by using the transcript of the interview and lining up the words using speech-to-text analysis. So in Prelude let's bring up the Adobe Story panel. I'm already logged in to the Adobe Story server, so I can see here a read-only view of the projects and scripts I have on my account. I choose a project and then I choose a script, and inside of that script I can view the various scenes. Here I have a transcript of the interview. To associate a scene with a clip, merely drag it from the Adobe Story panel onto the asset. Prelude gives us a little badge to indicate that we have attached the story scene. Next we'll do some speech-to-text analysis using Adobe Media Encoder. To save time, I already have Adobe Media Encoder running. In Prelude I'll right click on the clip that I wish to analyze and choose Analyze Content. Now I can choose the language of the speaker, the quality of the analysis, and I can use the embedded Adobe Story script as a guide for the analysis. Finally, I will choose to identify the speakers. When I click OK, Adobe Media Encoder begins processing the clip, turning the spoken words into searchable metadata. When the analysis is finished in Adobe Media Encoder, I'll switch back to Prelude and open the clip. You'll see that each individual word has been turned into a speech transcription marker. The real power of having a script analyzed and turned into text is seen in Premiere Pro, where the editor can search for specific words and find those places in the clip. So let's go ahead and select all of our clips and send them to Premiere. I right click on the clip, choose Send to Premiere Pro, and the clips then appear in Premiere, ready for the editor. So in Premiere Pro let's go ahead and open up the interview clip. In the Metadata panel we see all the text spoken by the interviewee as searchable text. I know in this interview he has really inspiring words about dreaming big, so let's go ahead and search for the word dream to find the clip I'm looking for. Here it is. I'm going to select the first word and mark an In point and then find the end of the sentence I'm interested in and mark an Out. Let's preview this by playing In to Out. If you dream something, no matter how big, you can really put it into motion. I mean, I think that showed that you should follow your dreams because who could ever make that happen? [Plate] Perfect. Let's go ahead and add this into my sequence. So that's a look at how you can use the new Adobe Story panel in Prelude to turn your words into searchable metadata to help you find just the right word you're looking for. [Adobe]

Jake's Corner
1/23/13 Beyonce Lip-Synced
Find me on Faccebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, January 23, 2013
A spokeswoman for the Marine Corps Band came out yesterday and said that BEYONCÉ lip-synced her rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" at PRESIDENT OBAMA'S inauguration on Monday. But a Marine Corps spokesman issued a statement saying that no one in the band knows whether she sang live or not. He did admit that the BAND didn't play . . . because they didn't have time to properly rehearse with her.
It's been over a year since MARIA SHRIVER filed for divorce from ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER . . . and apparently, he still wants her back. --He reportedly told a German newspaper, quote, "We're not fighting any war. I still hope for reconciliation. I still love Maria."
As you know, Lindsay Lohan fired her lawyer, Shawn Holley last week, out of nowhere. Now, Lindsay has realized she made a mistake and has begged Holley to come back. But TMZ is reporting that Holley is having none of it. They say she is in the process of filling out paperwork and getting the necessary signatures to officially withdraw from the case ... before Lindsay's hearing on January 30. –By the way, Lindsay hired Mark Heller, a New York lawyer who is not licensed to practice in California.

YouPorn.com has released a list of the Top 11 Most-Searched Celebrities on their site in 2012. --Even though it's been YEARS since her porno flick came out, KIM KARDASHIAN is still #1. Paris Hilton came in third, followed by Pamela Anderson. And HULK HOGAN made the list . . . proving that people will watch video of ANY celebrity having sex, no matter how hideous. --He's the only GUY on the list, by the way.
PRINCE HARRY admits he screwed up when photos of his NAKED BILLIARDS shenanigans hit the web last year. He says, quote, "At the end of the day I probably let myself down, I let my family down, I let other people down." --But he also thinks HE was a victim . . . quote, "At the end of the day, I was in a private area and there should be a certain amount of privacy . . . The way I was treated . . . I don't think is acceptable."
SHERYL CROW dated LANCE ARMSTRONG from 2003 to 2006. They were even engaged before they broke up. Have you ever wondered whether Sheryl knew what was propelling Lance to all those Tour de France wins? --Well, there are new reports that Sheryl DID know Lance was doping. That's according to Lance's former teammate FRANKIE ANDREU and his wife BETSY. --Both of them mentioned Sheryl in affidavits they submitted to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. --In those documents they claim that some years back, Lance called Frankie to his hotel room to ask him for a favor. He wanted Betsy to sign a statement retracting her earlier claim that Lance had admitted to a doctor that he was doping. --And they both say that Sheryl was IN THE ROOM when the conversation went down. --Lance didn't mention Sheryl during his interview with OPRAH WINFREY last week. And Sheryl hasn't spoken since the interview, either.
Dancing with the Stars just offered Lindsay Lohan more than a half-million dollars to compete next season, but TMZ is reporting that she turned them down. Reality TV, from her warped perspective, is beneath her. Even if a reality show would mean cashing out $550,000 for only a few weeks of dancing. That amount of money could pay her IRS back taxes and her attorney, who's kept Lindsay out of jail all this time. She's apparently too vain to grasp for a lifeline when it's tossed her way.

BARBARA WALTERS was hospitalized Saturday night after she fell on some stairs and hit her head. But she will probably be okay. --One of her ABC News bosses says, quote, "Out of an abundance of caution, she went to the hospital to have her cut tended to, have a full examination and remains there for observation. --Barbara is alert (and telling everyone what to do), which we all take as a very positive sign."
OPRAH WINFREY'S interview with LANCE ARMSTRONG did exactly what she hoped it would: It inspired people to watch her network. On Thursday night, 4.3 million people pulled up their cable guides to find OWN.
Lindsay Lohan is confident that she'll beat her lying-to-cops car crash case -- so confident that she's refusing to accept a plea deal that would keep her out of jail. --According to TMZ, the prosecutors were willing to let Linds plead no contest and agree to six months of lockdown rehab, but the star isn't interested because she says she's innocent. The cops don't feel the same way. Law enforcement sources believe the prosecutors have her dead to rights, because she told officer she was a passenger in the Porsche when there's overwhelming evidence she was the driver. If the case goes to trial and Lindsay is found guilty, she could face 19 months in jail.
It's back to the stripper pole for Octomom Nadya Suleman. The mother of 14, who recently went back on welfare, is set to perform at T's Lounge in West Palm Beach, Florida February 14th to the 16th for four 15-minute shows for a price of 20 thousand dollars. --Her rep says Nadya's return to stripping was part of a settlement with T's. The flack adds, "Nadya felt it would be a good place to promote her [adult] video Octomom Home Alone that has four AVN Nominations."

During Part 1 of their interview last night, LANCE ARMSTRONG admitted to OPRAH WINFREY right up front that he used performance-enhancing drugs during all seven of his Tour de France wins. He was relatively straightforward in admitting he had no excuse . . . but at the same time, he did play the "everybody else was doing it" card a few times. Part 2 of the interview airs tonight.
Yesterday, around 5:00 A.M., a fire broke out at their Beverly Hills home of Ozzy and Sharon Osborne. It started because Sharon fell asleep with a CANDLE still burning. --Luckily, firefighters showed up before things got out of hand. But Ozzy did suffer some minor injuries. Sharon said, quote, "My husband had an operation on his hand yesterday so he's in a complete cast . . . He comes down and goes, 'Oh, the fire, the fire!' (and tries to put it out) with his hand in the cast. --Then he opens the French doors and I go into the kitchen and throw water on it and it erupted. -Ozzy's front of his hair from (his ear down is), gone! His eyebrows (are gone) . . . he's got like, skinned cheeks. We are, like, two idiots, it was like The Three Stooges. --Everything you are not meant to do . . . go to bed with candles alight, open the doors and put water on . . . we did it all." --She added, quote, "I apologize to my husband because he put himself out. He made his hand worse, it started to bleed, the whole nine yards, and I'm sorry and I love you and I will never light a candle again."
At the "Golden Globes", TINA FEY and AMY POEHLER made a joke about TAYLOR SWIFT going after MICHAEL J. FOX'S 23-year-old son Sam. Well, Michael was asked about it at an event the other day and he said, quote, "No, no . . . just back off." --Although he added that he hardly even knows who she is . . . quote, "I don't keep up with it at all. Taylor Swift writes songs about everybody she goes out with, right? What a way to build a career."

The "Star" tabloid says that LINDSAY LOHAN is working as a high-priced ESCORT in order to pay her bills. --Now, as far as anyone knows, she's just being paid to be arm candy for rich guys. --A sources says, quote, "The dates last for days, and the guys pay for everything . . . hotel, travel costs, food, whatever . . . as well as jewelry and other gifts." --And Lindsay's dad MICHAEL supposedly had this to say . . . quote, "She is getting paid to date rich men. [Her mother] is pimping her out. It's disgusting!" --Lindsay's "clients" have included one of the princes of Brunei . . . who supposedly paid her $100,000 to spend New Year's with him in London . . . And a Spanish-American painter named Domingo Zapata . . . who has let Lindsay crash at his apartments in New York and L.A. in exchange for . . . well, whatever. --However . . . Michael is denying he even spoke to the "Star". He says, quote, "By absolutely NO MEANS did I ever make such a statement . . . EVER! --Sure, Lindsay and [other celebs] make personal appearances and get paid for it! Sure, she and they get paid to go to birthday parties and other occasions! --But for sex? Are you kidding me? I would never say that because she would NEVER do that and it NEVER happened!"
Yesterday, two formerly close associates of Lance Armstrong spoke out against him. --First up was Lance's former right-hand man MIKE ANDERSON, who hopes Lance goes to JAIL. He said, quote, "He is a very calculating individual. Everything that he does is with forethought and for his own benefit. --He introduced a sort of corruption to cycling's governing body that is very American: loads of money and PR. --Lance Armstrong is a false image created by himself. He's inundated the media for years to control the public's perception of him." --But Anderson says the corruption doesn't end with Lance . . . quote, "There are guys still being protected. For a change it's Lance being dragged through the mud but there are others and every last penny those guys have earned in the sport they have gotten fraudulently." --He added, quote, "There were guys behind the scenes who built him up, who sold that lie to the public. It was a concerted effort to make a pot of money, and those of us who called him out were destroyed." --Lance's former teammate FRANKIE ANDREU can speak directly about the way Lance destroyed people's lives to protect his image and his empire. --He says, quote, "For my wife and I, we've been attacked and ripped apart by Lance and all of his people, and all his supporters repeatedly for a long time . . . And it's not only us, he's ruined a lot of people's lives."
The National Enquirer claims Tigers Woods is trying to win his ex-wife Elin Nordegren back with a $200 million deal. They say Tiger is desperate to win Elin back and has offered the hefty pre-nup deal to close the deal. Allegedly, Elin told Tiger she will consider the proposal but only if he includes a $350 million anti-cheating clause into the wedding contract.

Current Articles
By Susanna Tol, from the UN Climate Summit in Durban. For two weeks, I am at the climate summit in Durban, meeting governmental delegations from all over the world to get the emissions from wetland degradation addressed.
Wetlands International is in Durban to advocate for emissions reductions through the conservation of undisturbed peatlands as well as the rewetting of drained peat areas.
Unfortunately, the negotiations on the rules for emissions reductions from land use that causes peatland drainage, such as forestry and cropland management under the follow up of the Kyoto Protocol, is not looking positive at this point.
Strongly supported proposals on the table would allow countries to hide emissions from logging and only include voluntary accounting for emissions from other land uses that result in emissions. This includes the drainage of peat soils. Wetlands International campaigns for all significant sources of emissions to be mandatorily accounted for in the land use sector and no logging loopholes; therewith creating incentives to reduce emissions.
Did you know that peatlands are the world's most concentrated and important reservoirs of terrestrial organic carbon? They are also a fast growing source of emissions. In fact, while peat soils, drained for forestry and agriculture, occur on a mere 0,3% of the global land surface, they are responsible for at least 6% of the global CO2 emissions. In developed countries this amounts to half a billion tonnes of CO2 each year, a level similar to that of forest management.
Mandatory accounting for emissions from peatlands will provide strong incentives for the conservation of undisturbed peatlands, as well as promote the rewetting of drained areas. Rewetting will also help prevent peat fires, which occur in drained peatsoils and add to further emissions. Peat soils are thus hotspots for emissions reductions. Our message to Ministers in Durban: if you can't make a deal which has environmental integrity, then don't make a deal on LULUCF here in Durban.

Your spec and gemming seem pretty acceptable.
Things I would change:
1) (and really not that big of a deal, some would argue it comes down to personal preference) swap the dodge/stam gem in your belt, the gem in your weapon, and the gem in your helm out for straight 30 stam gems, it will end up with more EHP.
2) I would also recommend you change your shield enchant to 18 stam since you are pretty far over 540, you can flex a lot of your defense easily.
3) I would also personally drop Ony's talisman for something like Glyph of Indominability if I couldn't pick up a brewfest trinket, heart of iron, royal seal of king llane, or a jug's vitality. And as far as easier to heal the raw armor from glyph of indom will go a long ways.
4) I'd also switch the Exalted SoH shoulder enchant to the 30 stam/15 resil shsoulder enchant.
5) switch glove enchant to 240 armor
But to be honest there's really nothing major or glaring, if I found you as a tank in my PuG I think I'd be pretty pleased. I think either the healers that are saying you are hard to heal are not doing their jobs right, or you aren't using cooldowns properly on fights (ex: shield walling impales on gormok). Warriors have to be pretty proactive with their cooldowns, so the more you can watch timers and anticipate, the better.
Edit: oh also, props for the 225 armor to cloak, for some reason a lot of tanks miss that... I did for a while =/

I don't know if its really to do with the time it takes me to travel to the other side, but for what ever reason my dps drops way below that of warriors and rogues where as on other fights i can beat them.
However my real question is, what trinkets do you recommend. I notice you use Essence of the Eternal Flame. I use Dwyer's Caber for the constant strength and nice crit proc. If you could give me your reasons and advice, I would be grateful.

Apple takes axe to MacBook Air SSD price
Apple's MacBook Air - still the world's slimmest laptop; VoodooPC's Envy isn't shipping yet - just got cheaper. Well, sort of. Apple's knocked £300/$500 off the price of the solid-state drive model. Launched at £2028/$3098, the Air with the 64GB SSD now costs £1719/$2598, undoubtedly thanks to tumbling Flash memory prices. The …
only way to buy any apple product
... is if you or someone you know can buy it in the states.
My mac came from a friends business trip, as did all my friends ipods/touches and nanos.
I'm no apple fanboy, they're good enough though but only when they are a reasonable price (like their dollar price).
Tradtionally January's after Christmas...
"At that rate, by Christmas the SSD Air will be £194 cheaper still. Or offer more storage capacity. We'll surely know early in January 2009"
Big markup?
Unless I've worked something out wrong it doesn't seem like a big mark-up to me.
If I take the VAT off, the UK price in dollars is $221. (1/1.175 * 260)
Add on 8% sales tax to US price and it is $216. (1.08 * 216).
So thats $5 more, or 2.50 squid (2.3%).
Still way too expensive
All you're really paying for is the thinness. Apart from thinness, in terms of technology you can get all that's in the Air and so much more for a fraction of the price if you're not obsessed with Apple branding.
I See
Took an axe to the PRICE did they?
Pity. For a moment there I thought you said 'the product'...
Even worse, Apple constantly slashing prices lately is going to have two inevitable results - the fashion victims will stop buying the products because, instead of being expensive and thus desirable they will have become cheap and therefor crap.
Faced with decreasing sales Apple will, in time, reach the point where they'll be paying people to take them away.
An environmental disaster of epic proportions will then ensue as fashion victims then abandon their Apple jewelery, unable to risk being confused with un-trendy poor people.
The ultimate outcome will be Stevie 'boy-wonder' Jobs being arrested on charges of environmental terrorism for being directly responsible for world wide pollution caused by the mass dumping of Apple products.
Oh hell, it IS Friday guys...
or if you can bear it
wait til you get to the airport and buy it from Dixons Tax Free. I can't believe I've just admitted to shopping at a DSG outlet, but they do knock off the equivalent of VAT...
@Chris A Light
Your diatribe shows you've patently only ever looked through plate glass at an Apple product with your tongue touching the window...
Jealousy is a bad thing to have.
As an aside - the Macbook is an overpriced proof of concept, but people want that kind of shit, much like you spend your life playing World of Warcraft.
(Note - I am not an Apple fanboy - I'm just open minded having used Mac, Windows, Linux, SVR4, VMS etc.. etc.. etc..)
@Big Markup
Dude, you're comparing UK tax free and US with tax.
Comparing both tax free gives $221 and $200, so 10.5% markup, which is a fair whack.
@Anonymous Coward
In terms of technology, you can get all that's in the Air and so much more for a fraction of the price if you're not obsessed with thinness. And it still comes with the Apple branding and the thing most Apple users actually care about — the OS.
To others: what are the import duties like on equipment brought back from America? Or, ummm, the airport?
@ Anonymous Coward (@ Chris A Light)
Nothing like seeing an Anonymous Coward fall flat on their face on a Friday afternoon!
As it happens, I'm typing this, as I typed the original, on my Mac. A 24" Intel iMac as it happens...
So, how come if I think Apple products are designed largely with fashion victims in mind? Well, horses for courses. I much prefer the user interface of OSX - now it's out of Beta anyway - and a few apps only run on X.
I am aware that you can get X (well Leper, Apple's Vista) to run on a PC, but I prefer to keep my PCs for serious stuff that requires raw processing power and decent graphics hardware, something even MacPros (which I'm very familiar with) don't seem to posses.
However, anyone with any sense of discrimination who runs and works on Macs knows very well that Macs are overpriced, rather poor value for money and full of 'ooooh! shiny!' design compromises that are solely designed to appeal to... fashion victims.
Though some of us do run them because of software requirements and the rather nice pre-Leper user interface.
So, that's why I wrote that little bit of satire. Sorry it went right past you, only pausing to trigger your latent Mac-fanboi tendencies :-)
ha! - 'leper' - i like it. just about sums up my experiences with 10,5.

Cheaper to buy new than refurb ... Hmmm.
@Wah, wah, wah, why are Apple products cheaper in the USA?
Because pretty much everything is between 10% and 60% cheaper in the US. If you don't like it, emigrate...
... although, when you do, make sure you're still working for a British company and on a British salary, because Americans generally get paid less than us and don't have a free health service.
No, for the last time it's not the thinnest laptop. Apple have no right to claim it, why on gods earth are El Reg authors? You should know better than buying into Apple's "marketing".
OK, which one - not mentioned in the story - is thinner?

This is not a list of officially accepted or placed theme camps, it's a preview of what you'll find when you get to Black Rock City. Some settling of contents may occur when the City Planners allocate the space. To find camps not included on the BRC Map, look through the Playa Info Directory in Center Camp. To find camps that chose not to be listed, you'll just have to get lucky.

The color was perfect. They look great in my Living Room. Th embroidery makes them look expensive and unique. I love them.
Updated the living room and love the blue of these pillows. Great style. High quality fabric, down filling, and embroidery.
I am redecorating our Family Room and have been trying to get the exact right color. I'm afraid it may be my Monitor. Overstock is a great resource but watch the colors, (especially the Greens). So I have to return it, but overstock makes that easy and even pleasant.
Great pillow matches my decor and drapes. Superior quality.
I am an interior designer and I ordered this pillow for my quest bedroom. It sits front and center on the bed and looks great!
