Lions particularly excited about a couple undrafted free agentsPosted by on May 1, 2012 – 1:27 pm
The work didn't stop for Lions general manager Martin Mayhew or president Tom Lewand when the draft ended Saturday night. The Lions instantly hit the phones to try and sign undrafted rookies to free agent deals.
With rookie mini-camp beginning in nine days, the Lions have agreed to terms with a number of rookie free agents, according to various reports.
The Lions won't officially announce their undrafted rookie free agent signings until those players have taken a physical and signed their contracts. However, in an interview with Mike O'Hara and Ken Brown on WJR last night, Mayhew did single out Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore and Houston receiver Patrick Edwards as two players he's particularly excited about.
"The winningest quarterback ever, 50-3," Mayhew said of Moore. "The guy is very talented (and a) very cerebral quarterback and understands the game, son of a coach. He has a good arm and is very accurate.
"He anticipates things really well. That's the one thing our scouts and coaches really talked about. He really knows where to go with the ball and he gets the ball there before the receiver comes out of his break. The guy is very talented and we were very fortunate to be able to get him."
The Lions typically bring in more than three quarterbacks to training camp, but Moore looks to have a great opportunity to make the roster behind Matthew Stafford and backup Shaun Hill.
Edwards (5-9, 172) had over 4,500 receiving yards and 43 touchdowns in four years at Houston. He also scored two touchdowns returning punts.
"This guy has also been one of the productive guys in college football the last couple seasons," Mayhew said of Edwards. "He had (1,752) yards receiving last year, 19.7 yards average per catch and he's going to be one of our free agents that's really another talented offensive weapon.
"He's very fast. That Houston offense throws the ball around quit a bit. He was one of those run-and-shoot receivers. He caught like 89 balls last year, I think, so he caught a ton of balls. He's been a three-year starter for them. He has over 4,500 yards in his career. He's another guy who we think has a really good chance."
Here is the unofficial list of the Lions' undrafted rookie free agents thus far:
QB Kellen Moore, Boise State
WR Patrick Edwards, Houston
WR Troy Burrell, Wayne State
WR Jared Karstetter, Washington State
TE Alex Gottlieb, William & Mary
OG Rodney Austin, Elon
OT Quinn Barham, Penn State
OG J.C. Oram, Weber State
LB Carmen Messina, New Mexico
LB Ronnie Sneed, Kentucky
DT Michael Cosgrove, Idaho
DE Eddie McClam, Old Dominion
K Derek Dimke, Illinois
CB Alonzo Lawrence, Mississippi Golf Coast Community College
G Pat Boyle, Temple
TE Austin Wells, Northern Iowa
RB Stephon Greene, Penn State

Lions sign veteran receiver Lance LongPosted by on May 1, 2012 – 12:50 pm
Lions have signed veteran receiver Lance Long to a one-year contract.
Long, 26, who grew up in Macomb and played his college football at Mississippi State, has spent most of his NFL career on various practice squads since signing the Cardinals as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2008.
Long played in seven games with the Chiefs in 2009 and had 20 catches for 178 yards.
He was most recently cut by the 49ers during their final cuts of training camp last season.
Long (5-11, 186) will join the Lions' offseason training program immediately.
The Lions drafted Ryan Broyles in the second round to be their fourth receiver behind Calvin Johnson, Nate Burleson and Titus Young.
Long will compete with practice squad players Terrence Toliver, Marcus Harris and Nate Hughes, as well as some of the undrafted rookie free agents, for the No. 5 spot.

GQ Magazine spends five minutes with MegatronPosted by on May 1, 2012 – 11:44 am
Shortly after Calvin Johnson was named this year's cover man for Madden 2013, GQ Magazine sat down for a five-minute Q&A with Megatron.
In addition to answering questions about his fashion, his TV time with Cam Newton and the big reveal, Johnson talked about how he plays Madden.
GQ: You've said that in the game, your character is like a cheat code.
Calvin Johnson: That's what everybody calls me, "cheat code," because they just throw the ball up to me.
GQ: And when you play, do you just throw it to yourself all the time?
Calvin Johnson: I try to play with other teams, because I feel like it's cheating.

Certain driving styles can result in a broken outer race of the secondary shaft bearing inside the automatic transmission. A broken outer race may cause abnormal noise, the Check Engine Light to turn on, and contact between the transmission idle gear and an electronic sensor housing to occur. This could result in a short circuit, causing the engine to stall. Also, pieces of the outer race or ball bearing may become lodged in the parking pawl, resulting in the vehicle rolling after the driver has placed the shifter in the Park position. Dealers will update the transmission control module software to correct this concern. The Honda recall number is R89.

Honda asks owners to remove the mask immediately and see a dealer about getting it replaced free of charge.

The Museum of Innocence will surely be remembered as one of the masterpieces of this century. This is a book that radiates with love for everything put into it, and a book that restores faith in the power of great literature.
I waited so much for a true love story written by Orhan Pamuk, and yes, this book is a love story, but also so much more at the same time. A book full of small beautiful things, like the heartfelt chapter 69, "Sometimes".
Truly Pamuk's best, alongside "The Black Book".
Thank you Orhan, your work means so much to me.
29 Jun 2009, Zulfikar Filandra
The first time I saw the book was at the library of my school (I was 15 at that time) and I always had the need to be reading a book so I saw this book with an interesting picture of a few people in a car with a beautiful background of a city and with the title "The Museum of Innocence"...
Continues... 05 Aug 2012, Ana Arango
Please select a rating for the novel, from a scale of one to ten (greater means better).
Average Rating: 6.7
You may start with the Wikipedia article about Orhan Pamuk to get more information on the writer of this book.
Orhan Pamuk was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2006. You may read his Nobel Lecture: My Father's Suitcase
The official site of the writer is located at www.orhanpamuk.net
The official site of "The Museum of Innocence" is located at www.masumiyetmuzesi.com (in Turkish).
Pamuk describes the relation between the novel and the museum as "The museum is not an illustration of the novel and the novel is not an explanation of the museum. They are two representations of one single story perhaps." in an interview with German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
Pamuk is writing a series of articles, discussing the literary, philosophical and personal backgrounds of the novel and his thoughts on other great novels about love. These articles will also be linked here.

The mystery machine will be out in June and cost "$200-250", which is £124-155 in real money. The snag, of course, is that you can already pick up past- …
Here we go again.
The 'Small Cheap Computer' never really came to light, the EEE PC 701 Came close, really good effort, but nothing since, the idea showed great promise, but nothing really came of it, I think that what the Industry considers 'Cheap' is different to that of the 'Consumer' sadly, £200 is a lot of money these days, and with things the way they are now, its the choice between, paying bills and necessities and buying a new laptop, if they are going to call it cheap, it really needs to be cheap!
Or here is an idea, just worry about putting out the hardware and let the buyer choose what OS to stick on it, and save a few more £'s?
£200 is cheap for a computer!
I agree that people have more pressing concerns than updating their computers these days but laptops still fail. The solution for your average end user (i.e. not Reg readers) is buy a new one.
I fancy Asus to make a real go of this - to be Android's iKiller. It'll need to be as good and much cheaper. It can and will be done - and I'll still want a keyboard ;o)
I suppose they mean "cheap in comparrison". It's a shame as it showed you could get a lot of kit for very little. I really want another netbook as my oooold Aspire one is showing its age and would readilly snap up something super cheap and slap Linux on it.
Small Cheap
Yep, small cheap computers came out but they managed to "improve" (well, for them) the design by fixing the cheap part.
What about the ads?
If they bring the EeePC girl back, I think they ve got a chance.
Paris? well, slim and cheap, just like a netbook should be
All for it...
Atom or Arm.
Just make sure:
1) RAM and HD are accessable to expansion
2) If not, just be a little generous. 2 gigs of ram at least and a decent sized SSD. I know they can't be large to be cheap but is 16 gigs asking for too much?
3) driver support for anyone wishing to boot an arbitrary linux of their choice.
4) at least an 8hour battery endurance.
5) Keep up the standard with the keyboards. They seem to be quite good across the Eee line at present.
Would be nice to have:
1) Nice matte screen, capacitive touch if possible but look, if it's cheap this is not likely is it?
2) 12 hour battery.
3) Arm , like a Tegra versus Atom for a change, but like I said, a decent Atom config would be ok.
Something like a Tosh AC 100 with more ram, and a nice decent SSD and easy linux support would be what I'm looking for, bottom line.
I'd pay that and up to double that price, Asus.
What the hell
Do you need 16GB of RAM for (on a notebook)? My 4GB desktop never runs out of memory using Ubuntu, no matter what I throw at it.
@James Hughes 1
I think the commenter meant a 16GB SSD.
SBD was talking about having 16gb of SSD storage, not 16gb of RAM.
In any case, while the netbook form factor still has its place, I would have expected hardware manufacturers to be looking at hybrid netbooks - i.e. netbooks with a rotatable touch screen.
There are a few such beasties out in the wild, but they tend to be both expensive and underpowered - and arguably, most are too large - they're competing directly with the iPad but are heavier, have shorter battery lives and don't offer the same ease-of-use.
What I'd love to see is something similar to the old Psion 3C design - big enough to enable easy thumb typing, small enough to be kept in a coat pocket. But with a swivelling touch-screen.
The Openpandora handheld comes close (but doesn't have a swivelling screen) and there's at least one Chinese OEM device which comes closer (e.g. the bPhone - http://chinagrabber.com/5-0-inch-touch-screen-quad-band-cell-phone-w-180-degree-rotate-screen-gps-wifi-java---bphone-arm-linux-2-6.aspx) but it's expensive and appears to be running a proprietary version of Linux.
Unfortunately, I suspect I'm in a minority when it comes to form-factor preferences. C'est la vie...
I don't understand this made-up netbooks versus "tablets" war. They're both the same kind of thing. We don't divide the phone market into whether they have a physical keyboard or not (or indeed, whether they have a touchscreen). You might as well separate devices into whether they have a webcam or not.
Trying to make it into some kind of war makes no sense either - there's nothing stopping companies producing both netbooks and "tablets", so it's not like one winning means other companies losing.
If they're releasing a dirt cheap netbook, I suspect they're setting their sights on other netbooks just as much as "tablets" (possibly more so, since "tablets" are often more expensive). Oh, and you can already get Android netbooks.
"This time round, thanks to smartphones, ordinary buyers aren't so fazed by non-Microsoft operating systems."
That doesn't make sense either - smartphones (and phones in general) were around, and popular, back then, and years earlier too.
It's not clear to me why Linux on netbooks lost out. But I don't think it's a software issue, as netbooks were sold, like "tablets", as simply "Internet and app" devices, not full PCs. Explanations include:
* People confused by Linux. It's not clear to me why this should be the case (Ubuntu is pretty good these days), but possibly there were still problems. Cut-down operating systems like Android have less complexity to them.
* Some of us do want Windows you know - and we still do. These people didn't want Linux netbooks, but they still don't want them, and won't get a phone-OS based "tablet" or netbook either.
* Marketing muscle from Microsoft - along with media hype. Linux has no company pushing for it. Android and IOS have Google and Apple respectively - along with the disproportionate amount of hype that they get in the media, which Linux never got.
@Leona A: The netbook is the small cheap computer. How is it not? No, it's not as powerful as a full blown desktop, but that's an unreasonable expectation. Plus ultra-portable laptops are these days small and cheap too, but very powerful, so why don't they count either?
Unless you mean really cheap, as in sub-£100. But I'm not sure that people have ever claimed this was coming? (And if you're going to look at historical prices, e.g., the price of some of the cheap 8-bits, do remember to take inflation into account.)
"It's not clear to me why Linux on netbooks lost out."
Perhaps because the distro they were shipped with were c**p and few (if any) of the alternatives worked out of the box.
allegedly some did - for some machines - sometimes - but for the average Joe - who has even less understanding of a Linux geek's love of a command-line than said geek has for their loathing of one) by the time it got sorted it was too late. The word was out and the damage done.
Ultimate Tablet
Imagine if there was a tablet available with it's own keyboard attached. You could have the convenience of a real keyboard coupled with the portability of a tablet. Even better if the keyboard could fold up against the tablet screen like a book, protecting the screen when not in use.
How about the Asus Eee Pad Slider?
Reviewed in these very pages earlier this week - if the Eee Pad Slider ends up being sold out of Morgan or Laptops Direct at £100 or something, I'd snap one up, but cash is pretty tight these days...
How about the Asus Eee Pad Slider?
How about the Lenovo ThinkPad T[whatevernumberthey'reuptothesedays]?
Small and cheap and OK
The original EEEPC really caught my attention but I found the screen too small and held out for the second generation.
When they came out I bought my daughter an Asus 900a with Linux She was delighted with it and has used it almost constantly ever since, the original xandros is still in use, there were a few issues with the EEE Store at first, in that it did not actually work, but that got fixed, not sure if its still there though, I have had to reset to the original setup once,using the inbuilt restore function and reinstalled Firefox a couple of times.
The Harware has proved to be first rate she has dropped it running several times without problems, the sound is far superior to my Acerone of the same age, she's used it so much that I have had to repair the power plug about six times but thats down to her not keeping the wire reasonably straight, no problems with the power supply though despite it being shorted out several times.
Regarding the Linux, kids did seem to want to run MS paint and the original MSN, but since Facebook has come along I haven't heard that one
All in all a good buy,
The next generation with Android should be even more kid friendly due to the improved games situation.
<quote>"$200-250", which is £124-155</quote>
Maybe if you're buying currency.
If you're buying electronic consumer goods, $200-250 is £200-250.
You can buy a full sized budget laptop for £300.
Don' know, I'm skeptical about this one. They killed the thing once, and now they want to resurrect it to kill it again?
Asus misses the point or do they?
Does Asus really care if it is a netbook or a tablet? With the eeepc701, the OS was a shamble and the form factor didn't fit much of the UI Their whole approach was the hardware and not the software.
Did it really matter to Asus though? They are still selling the hardware and software support is probably going to cost them more than they can earn from it. Well it seems it does matter. With Android or chrome OS, there is that software base they can tap into, plus a light, actively developing OS to suit.
Still, it sounds like another flog and forget approach from Asus.

Real Money
"The mystery machine will be out in June and cost "$200-250", which is £124-155 in real money."
Oh come on. We all know that if it sells for $200 in the states it will be £200 in the UK.

KPI 1.2.1: Increase to 100 percent the number of academic majors that include faith-learning integration and assess student-learning outcomes.
Sophomore math & computer science majors taking the department's Careers and Vocations class soon discover the course is about far more than landing their first job. From Day One discussions about the difference between a calling and a career to conversations with professionals in the field – including Whitworth alumni – about how they incorporate their faith, values and ethics in their work, "the students learn to view their faith and calling as an integral part of their professional life," says Donna Pierce, associate professor of mathematics & computer science.
Pierce and Professor and Chair of Mathematics & Computer Science Pete Tucker, '91, designed the course, for which the department garnered the 2013 Whitworth Award for Outstanding Integration of Faith and Learning in the Classroom.
Each class culminates with vocational-journey essays in which students envision how the elements of the course have informed who they have become, both professionally and personally, five years after their graduation. Student-learning outcomes are assessed through the students' essays and through the department's graduates. "Our best assessment," Pierce says, "is when alumni share with our current students about how they live a holistic life serving God and serving people while doing work they love, as well as how they cope with challenges they encounter in life and on the job."
KPI 1.2.3: Expand the number and variety of student small groups for faith exploration and growth.
65 Groups
Expand number of student small groups.
Goal: 51 groups
Baseline: 42 groups
Current/Past Performance & Goal (as of AY2012-13 graduates)
Early each fall, close on the heels of Traditiation, the Whitworth Chaplain's Office begins building small groups of students who will meet together throughout the year to share their lives and their faith. "The vast majority of the groups feature a combination of personal sharing and support and include life stories, Bible study and prayer," says Dean of Spiritual Life Terry McGonigal.
"Whitworth's mission language about following Christ is the foundation of our campus ministry," McGonigal says. "Because everything in Jesus' ministry flowed out of his intentional relationships with his followers, we see smallgroup relationships as the bedrock of our campus ministry. We link small-group coordinators and small-group volunteer leaders with students who want to know one another and to be known, all while experiencing growth in their Christian
The program has grown through expanding campus ministry in residence halls and through including small groups in programs developed for those who plan to lead,
to minister, and to participate in varsity athletics. The groups' discussion topics have also expanded to include understanding and practice of ministry, various cultural opportunities and challenges in ministry, the challenges of being a Christian student athlete, the transitions of life beyond athletics, and career vs. calling.
KPI 1.3.2: Improve by 50 percent the proportion of alumni who report over the five years following graduation that they engage in ongoing discernment and pursuit of their calling/vocation.
Achieve/maintain percent of alumni reporting engagement in ongoing discernment and pursuit of calling/vocation.
Goal: 90.0%
Baseline: 90.0%
Current/Past Performance & Goal (as of spring 2013)
To find out more about Whitworth alums, the office of alumni & parent relations embarked on a new program last summer that will, among other things, assist the university in following the careers of its graduates. The Discovery Project, which sends current students across the country to interview alums, provides data that will benefit the entire Whitworth community.
As part of the summer project, current students take alums out for coffee and spend an hour or so conversing about their time at Whitworth and their current lives, as well as discussing the influence of Whitworth on the work they do and the ways they spend their time. "As a result of the interviews," says Assistant Director of Alumni & Parent Relations Josh Cleveland, '01, "the university hopes to learn more about how alumni have experienced their mind-and-heart education and to explore the role it has played in their sense of vocation and calling."
Student ambassadors share the general themes of the interviews with supervisors, who then track the information to understand the greater alumni experience of Whitworth past, present and future.
The university has also, for a number of years, conducted surveys of alumni nine months after their graduation as well as five years down the road. Those surveys will be continued – and adapted – to make it possible for Whitworth to document more fully its graduates' ongoing "discernment and pursuit of their calling/vocation."
Institutional Research Director Gary Whisenand says that the adjustments will be helpful. "Questions have been added to the nine-months-after-graduation survey and the five-years-out survey that should help us gather this information," he says. Whisenand worked with the alumni office this year, piloting changes with the Class of 2012 to establish a baseline for evaluating the data from future surveys.

CPR bill heads to full House, Senate
RICHMOND — A bill to train more teachers and students in CPR passed easily through legislative committees this week after an emotional appeal by the mother of a Stafford student who died from lack of CPR.
The bills, from Del. Mark Dudenhefer and Sen. Richard Stuart, require high school students to be trained in CPR, and requires teachers to undergo CPR training — but not necessarily certification — as part of their regular licensure recertification.
The lawmakers have changed the bill somewhat to accommodate concerns — now CPR won't be a graduation requirement until the 2016-17 ninth-grade class, and it allows but doesn't require schools to buy defibrillators.
The idea behind the bill is to increase the number of people in schools who know and can perform CPR if needed.
The bills came about after the death last summer of 13-year-old Gwyneth Griffin. Born with a heart defect, she went into cardiac arrest at A.G. Wright Middle School in Stafford. She got no CPR or first aid until rescue crews arrived nearly 10 minutes later.
Her mother, Jennifer Griffin, said Gywneth's teacher knew CPR. But she "could not bring herself to act" because she was so close to Gwyneth, Griffin said.
Gwyneth died not from the cardiac arrest, Griffin said, but from the lack of oxygen to her brain while she waited for help.
Griffin told the committee that she herself is a teacher, and is trained in CPR, use of a defibrillator and use of an epi-pen.
Such knowledge, she said, has been overlooked in teacher training requirements until now.
"I don't think it's too much to ask . . . to, in a time of need, have the knowledge necessary to save a life," Griffin said, adding that teachers are essentially first responders. "You are the adults and I'm asking you to make a choice that would help ensure the safety and security [of children]."
Griffin testified before the House Education Committee and Senate Education and Health committees this week, both of which passed the bill.
Some House lawmakers questioned the cost of new training requirements in Dudenhefer's bill, particularly a provision encouraging all schools to have a defibrillator on hand.
Del. Steve Landes, R-Augusta, said he had problems with the bill making CPR training a requirement for students' graduation.
"That's a big departure from what we've had in the past," Landes said.
Virginia Education Association president Meg Gruber said she was concerned the bill could put the cost of CPR training onto teachers. She was also worried about the implications for teachers who might get the training but, like Gywneth's teacher, find themselves unable to act.
"What kind of penalties would come down on the staff . . . for somebody to look at you and say, ' You were trained, you should have [helped,' " Gruber said.
But other lawmakers said the bill was long overdue.
"I think this is an excellent idea," said Del. Mark Cole, R-Spotsylvania. It would, he said, "improve the level of safety and response not just in our schools but in society in general."
Jennifer and Joel Griffin have been lobbying lawmakers on the bill, and spoken at committee and subcommittee hearings.
Joel Griffin said Wednesday that lawmakers "have been very receptive to our message."
The full House and Senate will vote on the bills in the next few days.

Teaching isn't a popularity contest
BY JOHN W. FOUNTAIN firstname.lastname@example.com October 10, 2012 7:24PM
Construction workers place a new sign on the rooftop of Roosevelt University's new 32-story "vertical campus" in July 2011. | Sun-Times Media
Updated: November 12, 2012 11:53AM
I stood in front of my students at Roosevelt University this week, clutching an envelope and asking for a student volunteer before making my exit so they could grade me as their professor without fear of retribution.
I carefully read the teacher instructions, urging my journalism class to be candid in their midterm evaluations, adding, "I don't care if you like me."
"What? You don't care if we like you?" one student asked with a chuckle.
That wasn't exactly true.
"I don't mean it like that," I said, laughing.
The point was that they should be honest in assessing my teaching — and the class — so that both might be amended or improved. The point was that I think sometimes teachers care way too much about being chums with, or favorites of, their students rather than simply teaching and giving their best, whether loved or hated by students.
This much I also believe: That teaching is not a popularity contest. That it is sometimes like parenting: They hate you now but (hopefully) love you later for lessons taught, for being demanding and raising the bar of expectation.
But getting there can be a bumpy, hurtful road — for good teachers and good parents.
Nowadays, in a world where an air of entitlement and consumer expectation has filtered even into institutions of higher learning, and where poor student evaluations can negatively impact even a good teacher, I can understand how a student with a pen and an instructor evaluation form might strike the fear of God in a teacher.
But in the words of an old Negro spiritual: "I shall not be moved!"
Well, maybe I'm a little bit overboard. And teacher evaluations certainly do have merit.
But I also believe that endeavoring to be a good teacher, like being a good journalist, or doctor, lawyer or even a good baker, requires a certain integrity and unwillingness to compromise the recipe for good success and excellence, even in the face of adversity. Even when people don't "like" you. Even at the risk of them saying nasty or negative things because they disagree with your methodology, your passion or expectation, or simply because you're "too hard."
"This guy thinks he's the Jesus of journalism," one student once wrote of me.
But some of what students say can sting.
That much I came to see even through my mentor, Robert "Bob" Reid, a tough, hard-nosed journalism professor way back when I was a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. A good professor who doled out F's for work turned in even one minute late, Reid was beloved by many students but despised by others — a fact that he was well aware of, he once told me with a sense of hurt in his voice.
And yet, he remained unflinching until his retirement in 2003 and his death in fall 2004. I told my students about Reid.
And here lately, I find myself thinking about him — about his passion for students, for journalism, for humanity and about his clear understanding of his mission as a teacher. That it is not about writing books that collect dust on shelves or the titles and prizes within or outside the walls of academe.
It is not about the glory of acclaimed scholarship, but about living testaments — the flesh and blood and souls of young men and women who can effect change for generations to come.
It is about students, whether they like us or not.
Truth is, I care. But as long as I'm not considered the Darth Vader, or the Judas, of journalism, I'll live with that.

awards top design accolades
Issued by:
New Media
South African décor magazine
announced the winners of their annual Absolut VISI Designer of the Year awards on Friday, 2 March. The awards, which aim to recognise and reward South Africa's top designs, were handed out at a jungle-themed ceremony and party held at Wembley Square Two in Cape Town.
"The awards are one of the highlights on the
calendar," says
editor Jacquie Myburgh Chemaly. "It is an opportunity for us, along with our partner Absolut Vodka, to celebrated the remarkable design work that has been produced over the past year and to honour the people behind it."
This year, for the first time,
has introduced four different categories instead of an umbrella award covering all design disciplines. The categories are Design, Interiors, Architecture and Emerging Designer. The winner in each category receives a R10 000 voucher from Paul Smith in South Africa. Industry peers, along with members of the
editorial team, as well as internationally renowned trend forecaster Li Edelkoort, judged each category.
And the winners are...
In the Design category, Pierre Cronje beat out the finalists with his Simply Pierre range. The range has made Pierre's signature craftsmanship more accessible without compromising on quality. "It is honest and giving," said international judge Li Edelkoort.
Former magazine editor turned farmer and hotelier, Karen Roos, won the Interiors category with Babylonstoren farm hotel.
Judge Shelley Street, stylist and creative consultant to Weylandts, remarked that Karen's work is timeless, considered, simple and sensual - always with an unexpected edge. "Unique references to nature and history permeate her interiors and I find the conservatory particularly special as it recaptures in a fresh way an era of elegance, beauty and nostalgia so lacking in many designs today."
The Architecture category went to Nina Cohen, Fiona Garson and William Martinson for the WITS Art Museum, recently opened in the burgeoning Braamfontein district in Johannesburg.
"The success of its resolution resides, not simply in the compelling spatial resolution of its architecture that is aesthetically pleasing, but more so in the creative design translation of a problem of considerable complexity," said Professor Iain Low of UCT, one of the judges in this category.
Michaella Janse van Vuuren of Nomili scooped the Emerging Designer category with her extraordinary three dimensional printing designs.
Judge Cecile Froehling, head of buying at Woolworths Home Department, said that she was swayed by Michaella's originality in process, concept and the pure fantasy aspect of her work: "It made me look, and look again, and marvel at the objects as well as how she creates these fabulous creatures of her imagination."

So, you will remember that Grazia Daily TOTALLY called this back in December, but it's just been officially announced that the delightful Blake Lively is to be the new face of Chanel's Mademoiselle handbag line, which Karl Lagerfeld unveiled at the Chanel cruise show last May.
After being introduced to Lively by Anna Wintour before the Chanel couture show in July (im-A-gine). Karl described Lively as 'a kind of American dream girl', saying that the shoot for the handbag line, which took place at the Chanel Rue Cambon HQ, 'was an easy job because everyone fell in love with her'.
Lively follows in the footsteps of Lily Allen and Vanessa Paradis and in becoming the face of Chanel handbags and is understandably enthusiastic about her appointment, describing it thusly: 'How did Cinderella feel when she slipped on the glass slipper? How did Snow White feel when she met her Prince Charming?' A dream come true is an understatement. I can say that I feel like the happiest, luckiest girl around'.
Continuing her animated pitch, Lively added that 'though I am the face of it [the mademoiselle bag], I will carry it like every girl' (for dear life, right?) 'I will always feel it's more than just a purse. It's a quilted case full of lipstick, love letters and the dreams and possibilities that I have always felt every time I see that beautiful 'CC.'
Some styles of the quilted Mademoiselle bag are in stores already, retailing from between around £1,250 to £19,000 for exotic skin models. Blakey's ad campaign is rumoured to be appearing in magazines from April, so watch this space for your first look!

Several weeks before the accident, the accident pilot met a powered parachute pilot who agreed to help the pilot learn how to fly. The pilot subsequently purchased a powered parachute, and both individuals flew it two days before the accident flight. On the day of the accident, both pilots met and performed a preflight inspection of the vehicle. Shortly after takeoff on the accident flight, the vehicle began an un-commanded turn to the right. The pilot reported that the vehicle would not turn left. The other pilot advised the accident pilot, via radio, to hold down the left pedal and to increase the engine power. After several right turns, the vehicle was aligned with the landing field, but during the final moments of the approach, the engine powered reduced, and the vehicle entered a descending turn and impacted the ground. Review of a video taken of the initial portion of the flight revealed that one of the parachute suspension lines was wrapped around the aft trailing edge of the parachute, resulting in the un-commanded right turn. No mechanical discrepancies were noted with the vehicle or the engine.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Delsey Helium Aero 4-Wheel 20" International Carry-On 2 2
The product was perfect size and built well. When the delivery was wrong they send me another suitcase for next day at no charge; wonderful October 23, 2014
Best suitcase ever! I just returned from my first trip using this suitcase and was more than pleased. It held all I needed for an 18-day trip and still was light enough to be carry on for an international flight. It has lots of pockets to hold small things and having straps to hold in clothing on both sides of the open suitcase is very handy. Finally, it rolls like a dream. I have never had a suitcase that functioned so well in all ways! October 27, 2013

Recently my USB car charger died. I thought it'd be great if I could just install USB ports into the center console, and I totally did too. But the iPod wouldn't charge, so I scoured the internet looking for an answer. I found out what I needed to do was put resistors onto the data lines, but nobody agreed on what resistors or even how to hook them up. Finally I just ripped apart my broken USB charger to see how they did it.
Step 1: Schematics
OK, here we go.
The values of the resistors in the schematic below can be approximate. Those are just the values I measured from the resistors on my dead car charger. You could also hook up different valued resistors in series to dial in the exact ohms (22K + 22K = 44K, perfect for R2.) Also, 1/8W resistors will work just fine.
Once you build the circuit, test it. You should get around 2.7 volts out of D- and 2V out of D+. This may seem scary high but it's in the USB spec for signaling a USB 2.0 connection. This is how the iPod knows it's OK to draw the power it needs to charge.
dont trust the color codes , test the rezistance with the multimetre
can u show me the real picture im not quite getting it like the red green white and black and where it gos
The black goes to your ground, the red goes to the positive on your 5V power supply. You will need to hook up the R2/R1 voltage divider to white, and R3/R1 to green.
Thank you!
Hmmm.... actually, I think I did come across an Instructable that mentioned you need to trick your device into charging by supplying some voltage to the data line... don't quote me, though!
At my school we make a rechargeable LED Torch (http://www.scorpiotechnology.com.au/assets/technology_catalogue.pdf). We have a number of gearboxes left over from unfinished projects over the years. I have been toying with the idea of making a rechargeable USB charger. My circuit design is below as well as a Circuit Wizard file. It seems that the batteries could be replaced with any combination above 7 Volts. The Lithium Ion batteries I am planning on using are 40mA each, so four would provide 160mA (when not winding), but this falls well below the 1A required for modern usb devices. From what I gather rechargeable 3.6 Volt 1/2R6 batteries are rated at 700mA, two of these would provide 1400mA, well over the required 1A for charging a usb device. If I were to use AA or AAA at 1.5 Volts each I would need at least 5 to provide the 7 Volts that the LM7805 requires.
After looking at this instructable:
I may swap the batteries for 2 lipo 3.7 Volt phone batteries.
this is not a link
Why would you want the phone to charge at 1A. If you force that much current into the phone you may damage something. FYI, the USB spec only calls for an output of 5V @ .5A. So less then .5A is all that is needed to charge the device. Also keep in mind the 7805 outputs 5V and has 1A of current available that doesn't mean your device will pull that much amperage.
- R1= 22K Ohms
- R2= 26K Ohms (1x 22K resistor and 1x 4K resistor in series)
- R3= 15K Ohms
When i first connected everything on my breadboard for testing the voltages came out wrong. So i flipped the resistors, putting both R1s on the Positive side and R2 and R3 coming off the Ground Lead. After checking the voltages across D+ and D- everything looked good so i plugged in my 2nd and 5th Gen iPod Touches and they where charging.
Thanks again for the info about the voltages on the data lines needed to enable charging.
Here is my schematic:
Would an inductor be a wise thing to include to help filter out the starter-motor's noise? And if so, are there things that need to be considered when choosing an inductor? Size? Core type? I don't want to inadvertently make a resonator circuit and do not (yet) have the mathematical knowledge to make an informed decision.
Also as other posters have stated, there seems to be a very wide range of what resistance is required in order for this to work. Pleasantly surprised everything went off without a hitch my first attempt, a fantastic instructable. My only recommendation would be to change one of the R1's in the schematics to a R4, especially since the third picture shows a R4.
IMHO, R4 should become "R5" and the R1 which is paired with R3 in the left hand voltage divider branch should be changed to R4 to make this circuit more understandable for those with less experience in electronics so you end up with an R1/R2 voltage divider on the right and an R3/R4 voltage divider on the left of the two voltage "divider diamond".
fry other phones or devices
However, I have a question. Since the - and + power lines meet (right?) because both R1's, R2, and R3 touch, would you then need a diode on one (or both?) power lines to prevent power flowing back to the batteries?
Is this circuit all that is required? Or is it a more complex chip as others have stated?
43k = yellow orange orange then gold or silver
74.9k approx 75k = violet green orange then gold or silver

He's proficient enough with the system and his iPad that he can whip through setting up a customized user interface page, sliding in all of the desired icons for controlling whatever subsystems you'd want as shortcuts for a particular room, in mere minutes. And he's not joking when he says he'd love to go through the same training and programming courses that Savant offers to its custom electronics pros. "The beauty of this system is you can customize it," he says. "I just like having everything at my fingertips, but if I really wanted to I can add a new button, throw an icon in, then I can edit it."
Gold- and Platinum-Selling Points
So besides triggering his TV lift by tapping an iPad, what are some of Kevin's high-tech systems' other greatest hits?
Security and surveillance: Video from eight surveillance cameras, in key areas such as the front door and front gate, can be fed to iPads and TVs around the house and viewable from portable devices. Alarm system functionality and scheduling can also be done remotely. Kevin's home isn't in some gated community, but in a residential neighborhood cul-de-sac; meanwhile, as both a celebrity and owner of a relatively large house he can expect any number of handlers, TV crew people, caretakers, workers, guests and others showing up. "The key piece for me was being away from the home as much as I travel and tour, being able to monitor what goes on here from anywhere in the world," he explains. "There are times when I had to let someone in the home and I didn't give them the key, but I was able to unlock the door, turn on the lights for them and disarm the alarm … from Brazil. We get alerts, so instantly I look at the camera feed to see who's there—you can tell who should be at the house and who shouldn't be. Another time at night the alarm went off and we got really nervous, because we thought we saw tire tracks in the yard. It ended up being only a 'shout out.' Luckily and the police came and everything, but for us we have to take it a little more seriously. The system has allowed me to feel way more secure in my own home."

Phones: Phones aren't exciting, are they? Don't tell that to Kevin. Savant has a slick IP-based telephony system that allows people to make calls from their iDevices' apps or operate room-to-room intercom essentially all as one integrated system over the "home" phone line; Kevin's just as jazzed to demo iPad calling as he is showing off A/V systems. It's an addition that Intra Home Systems incorporated, while also boosting the communications by using three Savant cordless phones that operate on cell antennas so the signal can bounce around seamlessly without dropouts as you go from one end of the house to another. "You can transfer calls and page from one room to another, regardless of whether you're on an Apple device or wireless device, a cordless phone or the touchpanels in the rooms," D'Addone says. "He also has the paging feature, where you can page through the home speakers, and it mutes what's playing on the speakers." Plans are in the works to remove the home's old doorbells and gate control interface and replace them with the Savant IP phone interface to complete the telephony package and basically incorporate it with that exterior security.
Skype: Speaking of communications, there are televisions throughout the Jonas home, but one Kevin uses frequently is the Samsung TV in his office because it features Skype. "I do all my conference calls from here," he says. "I chose to live in New Jersey because I love it here, but I need to be in L.A. so much, so instead of jumping on a flight, as you can see the camera up top on the TV, I can just Skype in a session and talk to anybody, which is unbelievable."
Lighting Control: The Lutron lighting throughout the house, in tandem with being controllable and monitored under the auspices of the Savant system, provides a powerful way for the different areas of Kevin's home to be both appropriately illuminated as well as energy friendly. As someone who's eco-minded, he's already thinking about switching to LED lighting and about the prospects of incorporating Savant's energy management solutions in his next home. For now, he's happy to extol the virtues of what lighting control is already accomplishing. "The amount of energy saved with a system like this is incredible. When you turn on a light switch it's at 100 percent; none of my lights are 100 percent, my lights are all at 65 percent, which, it's bright enough everywhere but the thing is people don't realize [they're dimmed]. But if I really needed it to be 100 percent, I could hit a button and it all turns to 100."
HVAC: Heating, cooling and humidity control is intelligent and highly customizable. If you've watched Married to Jonas, you've probably noticed that the individual interviews take place next to Kevin's extensive wine room (you can see some of Kevin's huge guitar collection on the adjacent wall). A sensor in there monitors the humidity and temperature and will send a notification if the conditions rise above a certain level. Elsewhere, via the Savant interface, indoor and outdoor zones are a snap to schedule by temperature, time of day, season or other marker, and settings can be copied to other zones, created and edited not only by Intra Home, but by Kevin himself.
Related: Integrated Control vs. Multiple Apps for Home Automation
Audio and Video: Of course, being an entertainer Kevin spends a great deal of time using the multiroom A/V operations within the home. (Not to mention a dedicated theater room with a 110-inch screen and comfy seating for movie viewing.) The housewide system can access all of his and Dani's tunes that have been stored on a 1.5 terabytes of space in Mac Minis and a separate hard drive, not only throughout the home, but anywhere they're using iDevices thanks to the iTunes Match integration. Apple TVs route iTunes and streaming content to speakers and TVs, and individual music libraries and playlists can be quickly tapped into through the couple's own personalized user interface pages. And if Kevin's creative juices are flowing he can record some riffs into his Logic Pro demo rig or even connect his guitar pedals and amp and then play it back over the home audio system. One of his favorite aspects of the A/V system is that accessing pretty much any feature of the home tech subsystems doesn't interrupt whatever audio or video the Jonases are enjoying on TV, because of Savant's TrueCommand On-TV Menu system that simply overlays the interface features and navigation onscreen, allowing for lightning-quick transitions to viewing camera feeds, lowering the heat or anything else.
It's smooth and seamless, like the operation of all things tech-related in Kevin's house—which bodes well for this Jonas brother's next big technology hit. "I'm a big kid at heart, and these are my toys," he says. "[Dani] loves the system and she kind of let me go for it … she knows we're considering moving now, and that in the next home it will probably be even more extensive."

Shifting Gear (sidebar)
Steven D'Addone and his team at Intra Home System spent much of their time dealing with an equipment rack and wiring scheme that required a complete overhaul. They filled a Middle Atlantic BGR full-height rack with the same amount of gear that was originally crammed into a half-height rack: items including Apple TVs, Mac Minis, Savant processor, Marantz A/V receiver, IC Realtime camera DVRs, Fios DVRs and more. D'Addone liked the integrated features of the BGR, a relatively new product in Middle Atlantic's lineup. It features integrated side shelving, so he could mount HDMI converters and smaller devices with wire and power management—Intra Home installed a battery backup unit and two full-height strips with 12 outlets apiece, plus two more Middle Atlantic power distribution units with nine outlets each. The strip outlets in the back of the rack have surge and IP control, and Middle Atlantic's power management allows Intra Home to log in and remotely control individual outlets. And there are lacing bars incorporated into the rack that aid the cable management, so only the minimal amount of wires and cables connected to the components remain in plain sight. Of course, most of the time if Kevin shows off the rack it will be the front, which features an attractive, curved Plexiglass door.

A little about me...
As I sit before the screen with fingers poised over the keys, my mind flies to three things my parents instilled in me while I was young.
1) HOME is where you make it (not to be defined by structural design).
2) NEVER have a "What if ...".
3) You can accomplish ANYTHING you want.
Little did I know how I would incorporate these very words of encouragement and support into my daily life!
From premature babies to centenarians, much of my nursing career has encompassed the intensive care area ... a gentle reminder of just how precious and short life is. I loved my work in the hospital; but now, since 2006, I am using my nursing/medical skills on- board cruise ships that take me to all seven continents. Such a lucky lady am I!
I feel I am kind, happy and secure. I appreciate traditional values and can go from blue jeans to a cocktail dress in the blink of an eye. Rather than "a favorite" I have many favorites of music, cuisine, literature, sports (spectator only), animals, country sides, cities and so much more!
About the one I'm looking for...
There are so many attributes I find desirable in a gentleman. Strength of character, a playfulness laced with a delicious wit and a man who is willing to think "outside" the box, to name a few! Albeit simple, an adventuresome spirit to embrace people, cultures and geographical wonders around the world is a must ... along with enjoying the water, whether it be on it ~ in it ~ under it.
I'd just like to add...
One facet that is so important to me in a relationship is an excellent balance of His time, Her time and Our time.
Are you a wagering man? As to my curly hair ~ natural or not? (I may be the only woman you meet who doesn't own a hair dryer.)
Every day I strive for a healthy balance with the people in my life ~ my family means the world to me and I simply adore my friends. I also take time for myself. (Not so easy to remember!)
*** Please know how MUCH I appreciate a Gentleman's effort to write a personal message to me ... I will not respond to "flirts" or a "standardized reply"***

So before you start pounding away at Naxx get JC up. Your hp is a bit low for a DK tank. You would want to have at least 25-27k hp so that is one reason of gettign your JC up.
Get rid of the parry rating gem. You need will over 23 parry rating to even make 1% parry. Throw a stam gem in there.
Work on getting as many Emblem of Heroism and go and buy Waistguard of Living Iron - Item - World of Warcraft. You will have that belt for a very long time. Buy your T7 gloves and your T7 chest.
For trinket work on getting Seal of the Pantheon - Item - World of Warcraft off loken it is a great trinket to have and extra defense.
Another trinket which even most of the best DK tanks have is Figurine - Monarch Crab - Item - World of Warcraft and add in 2x Solid Sky Sapphire - Item - World of Warcraft this trinket then will add another 1320 health.
Also try and look my frost spec. It is pretty much the spec that is around on most frost tank trees. I however will say I am a blood tank not a frost tank. I just took my frost tanking spec from researching many of the top frost DK's on many servers.

Micro-Finance Program
The Micro-finance Program provides access to credit for income-generating activities to the women caring for the students of Nyaka and Kutamba. Numerous studies have shown that women tend to prioritize children's nutrition, education, clothing, health, and home improvements ahead of their own personal needs. Thanks to micro-finance loans, our Grandmothers are able to buy supplies to make beautiful woven baskets and other crafts; and goats and chickens as a source of income.
As a result of improved standards of living at home, Nyaka and Kutamba students are able to maintain the necessary good health and morale in order to complete their primary education.

Women across America are holding "Nyaka Grandmothers' Basket Parties" that help our "mukaakas" in a fun and informative way.
