For cowboy shooters, authenticity is a strict requirement. That's why we build our Cowboy™ bullets to SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) specifications, and why we hold them to the same stringent production standards as all our products. Hornady lead bullets are swaged lead, not cast. That guarantees total uniformity and balance for increased accuracy. The special knurling holds an even distribution of lubricating wax over the entire bearing surface.
Hornady lead pistol bullets are pre-lubricated and cold-swaged for total uniformity and balance. Our exclusive knurling system retains lubricant over the entire bearing surface to reduce leading in your barrel.
The flat point shifts the center of gravity to the bullet's rear for increased stability and accuracy. This ensures proper positioning in authentic revolvers, with no unwanted nicking of primers as the cylinder turns.>
The knurling system holds an even distribution of lubricating wax over the bearing surface of the Cowboy™ bullet. The result is less leading.

Anything can happen in the next 24 hours
My latest Ebay auction has just over 24 hours to run and there are a few titles I'm surprised haven't had any bids yet.
- Porto Carthago is another great design about influencing the passage of ships and goods through the harbour of Carthage by Bernd Eisenstein, the designer of Peloponnes;
- Kamisado is a beautiful and very clever abstract game by Peter Burley where the colour space you land on determines which piece your opponent has to move next;
- Drunter & Druber is a Spiel-des-Jahres winner from Klaus Teuber about directing a city's walls, roads and irrigation system while avoiding the precious outhouses (it was republished as Wacky Wacky West;
- Café International is another Spiel-des-Jahres about seating customers of different nationalities at the tables in a posh café.
- Schrille Stille is a rare game about the music industry with a unique voting mechanism and beautiful production as usual from Zoch.
- Villa Palettti is both a Spiel-des-Jahres winner and a beautiful production from Zoch - and it's a fun dexterity game where steady hands are crucial;
- Alcazar is a huge game by Wolfgang Kramer which was a follow-up to the classic Big Boss and includes rules to adapt the game to fairly closely recreate that earlier game;
- Time's Up is the classic party game that has come out in many editions because it is that good with three rounds of increasingly difficult clue-giving;
- Ostia is another economic game about trading in a harbour this time set in ancient Rome and it is a game of timing when to donate goods to the senate to get the best return.
There is also the very collectable first edition of Vlaada Chvatil's Through the Ages, released in 2006 by Czech Board Games (which I've only played once so is in near mint condition).
There are lots more that do have bids but still at reasonable prices, particularly those by hot designers like Stefan Feld, Friedemann Friese, Uwe Rosenberg, Reiner Knizia and Kramer & Kiesling. The full list is here.

Cray swings profit on Q4 revenue dive
Supercomputer maker Cray finished out 2009 better than many might have expected it to do, reversing to a modest $3m profit on a 43 per cent revenue decline to $88.3m in the fourth quarter ended in December. It is hard to blame your biggest customer for cutting into your sales and profits, and Cray came as close as it dared to …
What for ?
I find it hard to stress my Core i7 system - that's 4 cores (or 8 virtual), the graphics card (4850) and disk (7200 rpm RAID 0) seem to be the bottlenecks. OK, video editing software trying to "steady" mutiple frames and other special tasks are demanding...
So, are these machines trying to inverse a 10 x 10 matrix, or compute pi to a billion places or what ? I can understand the NSA trying to decrpt millions upon millions of messages simultaneously but what on earth are these machines used for in the real world... and why are sales banned to Cuba, Iran and North Korea ?
this is why
What are they used for? The easiest way to answer is to suggest that you go over to ornl.gov, nersc.gov, llnl.gov, or sandia.gov and have a look around.
As for why sales to Cuba, Iran, and North Korea (among other others) are banned: this sort of computational power is very handy if you're trying to build nuclear weapons, especially if you can't risk receiving the sort of attention that an actual test detonation would bring.
Hmmm, petaFlOps!
Fluid dynamics (ship design and weather prediction), and nuclear explosion simulation are large consumers of machine cycles.
The Skynet OS and its associated killbot apps also up in that category.
@What for ?
"So, are these machines trying to inverse a 10 x 10 matrix, or compute pi to a billion places or what ? I can understand the NSA trying to decrpt millions upon millions of messages simultaneously but what on earth are these machines used for in the real world... and why are sales banned to Cuba, Iran and North Korea ?"
Think of manipulating 30000x30000 matrices. Many simulations are still pretty rough approximations of the physical world. That's why you need to detonate a nuke before you can be confident it does what you want it to do, even today.
Other big numbercrunching problems are in drug desgin and medical research, simulating the interactions of a large molecule with another one. These ones still defy the largest contemporary computers in many instances.
Or.. simulate a galay of 100 million stars. That yields in 100E6*100E6 force vectors to be computed and added up. That's 1E16 operations per iteration of your simulation. The fastest CPU does just 1E12 operations/sec.
I bet the nanotech people also can make good use of powerful simulations to compute what a certain surface does to another surface or molecule.
Obviously, these systems can be used for all sorts of military R&D and consequentially are export-controlled.
Iran and the other evildoers can nowadays build pretty powerful machines just out of a bunch of beige boyes and 10Gbit ethernet cards and the latest switches, though. There was even a story claiming the evilers would be using masses of powerful PlayStation machines to that end.
TUX as most supercomputers are now Linux.

To: Edward Reilly, Sheriff
From: Jane Levine
Pursuant to the Comptroller's authority to audit county payrolls, County Charter Section 402(4), a routine payroll limited review was conducted of the timekeeping practices employed in the Sheriff's Civil Division. This division is composed of several units including family court, landlord tenant, and the sheriff's location of assets and property unit ("SLAP").
The scope of the review was limited to an assessment of the internal control practices and procedures of the timekeepers in the civil division. We interviewed departmental personnel, and conferred with Comptroller's Office payroll section staff. To determine if the division's timekeeping practices were deficient, we performed limited testing of timesheet record keeping for all the division's units, and also tested time and leave documentation for the family court unit, the division's largest unit.
In a review of the timekeeping practices at the family court unit, we noted the following exceptions from accepted county procedures:
Although procedures require employees to enter their actual time of arrival and departure, timesheets instead are completed by the timekeeper, not by employees. Additionally, the timekeeper only records the scheduled tour hours for each employee, does not record overtime worked and initials the entries, thereby approving her own work.
Whenever possible, employees should personally sign in upon their arrival and out upon their departure from a work location. On a daily basis, the timekeeper should review these entries and document the review by initialing the timesheet.
For reasons of consistency and accuracy the timekeeper has been responsible for the completion of timesheets. It should be noted that the Department has serious concerns about your recommendation to implement the procedure of having employees enter their own start and end time on the timesheets. We understand that in a typical office environment this procedure could be effectively implemented, but many deputy sheriffs work non-business hours signing on and off duty in the field. This procedure would require the deputy sheriff to make his out of service entry the following day. If that deputy is off the following day this could cause delays and inaccurate entries to the time and leave sheet. Our present procedure which directs the timekeeper to record employees start and end time is in compliance with the timesheet document provided by your office (Compt. – 3024 6/77 Rev. 5/97), it states "The department may elect to have a designated timekeeper(s) record the entries for all or some (e.g. field personnel) of their employees." The actual arrival and departure time are currently being recorded on the timesheets.
The ideal internal control environment is for each employee (field deputy sheriffs) to record their arrival time when they come in to pick up their daily assignments and vehicle. When they are on field assignment, then it would be appropriate for the timekeeper to record this information on their behalf. However, whenever possible, these employees on field assignment should contact the timekeeper when they arrive and depart from their tour of duty. When the timekeeper has prepared the entire timesheet in advance, it negates the review control feature wherein the timekeeper attests to the daily attendance record of the section by his/her initials. The segregation of duties function is lost and the timekeeper is thereby reviewing their own work.
Overtime is not being recorded on the timesheets.
All hours worked by employees should be recorded on timesheets including overtime.
This has been our practice for some time. It has not been brought to our attention in previous audits performed by the Comptrollers Office. We are now recording all hours worked by employees, including overtime on the timesheets.
We concur with the corrective action being taken by the department, however, whenever possible recording of time worked, including overtime, should be done by the employee and not the timekeeper.
Leave time is only reflected on the timesheet by the amount of time taken, i.e. ¼ day - sick leave, 2 hours - compensatory time. The actual arrival or departure times for partial days worked by employees is not entered.
The actual arrival and departure times for partial days should be reflected on the timesheets. Per the timesheet instructions, part day leave should be marked in the "in" or "out" column with an asterisk and explained in the "Remarks" column.
This concern has not been brought to our attention in previous audits performed by the Comptrollers Office. We will review the instructions provided by your office and make the necessary adjustments.
We concur with the corrective action being taken by the department.
Procedures require that the Family Court Unit timekeeper sign leave slips to verify that leave taken is posted to timesheets; instead, leave slips are signed by the payroll clerk in the Sheriff's main office in Mineola when posting into NUHRS.
The Family Court Unit timekeeper should sign leave slips to verify that leave was posted to timesheets.
The Deputy Sheriff branch of the Sheriff's Department has 52 employees, 24 of whom are located in our Mineola office. The timekeeper in our Mineola Office also serves as the payroll clerk. The Department is unaware of any directive that prohibits us from this procedure. If one exists please forward it to our office for examination. The timekeeper does review and initial the timesheet. The timekeeper does sign leave entitlement slips.
The Family Court Unit timekeeper who posts the leave to the timesheet should sign the time and leave entitlement slips not the Mineola payroll clerk. The Mineola payroll clerk should continue to sign the leave entitlement slips verifying that they have been posted to NUHRS.
The Deputy Sheriffs in the Family Court Unit complete a daily log to record their transports, summons and warrants served. Additionally, the logs contain the tour start and end times, mileage amounts, and time spent on each assignment. The captain, lieutenants and unit clerical workers do not complete a daily log because their duties are within the office.
The auditors selected four days of daily logs randomly to evaluate whether they documented time recorded on timesheets: two in January, one in February and one in March 2004. When the auditors examined 63 of the logs, they noted that:
As official records of employees' activities, the daily logs should be signed by the employees.
Daily logs should contain all information relevant to the day's assignments, including start and end tour times, and the actual start and end time of each trip.
Documentation of employees' daily activities, including timesheets, daily logs and overtime slips, should be consistent. The Division should determine if the two deputies for whom a log was not on file for February 20 th reported to work that day.
Daily log sheets are kept as an internal record for the Division to assist deputy sheriffs and their supervisors in recalling activities of that day and not as time and leave records. Our department continually strives to improve our record keeping practice and may in the future modify this log to include such things as the employee's signature. That notwithstanding, as with all County employees, signing of the timesheets serves as verification of the deputy sheriff's attendance for that day. Deputy activities such as the service of summons and execution of warrants are certified with the court.
The Department contacted Manuel Mosquera, in the Comptroller's Audit Division in order to obtain the names of the 2 deputies in question. It was verified that these deputies worked 0900-1700 on that day. This was verified after a review of the timesheet for that pay period and a review of the tour commander's activity sheet for that day.
As previously stated, documentation of employee's daily activities should be properly and consistently reported on all pertinent records (including, but not limited to, timesheets, daily logs and overtime slips).
The Family Court Unit's timesheets contain the name of an employee on a "No Pay status". This employee is on record in NUHRS as being in unpaid absent status since November 2002. The auditors questioned the employees who signed the timesheet and were told that this particular employee may be receiving workers' compensation. Because neither the timekeepers nor the lieutenant could provide details, we noted a potential weakness in the monitoring of this employee's current status.
The department should investigate this employee's current status.
This employee is presently on sick no-pay status and is not receiving worker's compensation at this time. We are reviewing available options with regard to continuous employment of this employee.
Replacement of absent employees reduces departmental overtime and should be promptly addressed.
The Comptroller's Office payroll staff has experienced multiple problems with payroll entries made by the Sheriff Department's payroll clerk. Although the Comptroller's Office has provided corrective guidance, incorrect entries are still being made. Inappropriate entries noted by the Comptroller's Office payroll unit include:
Double meal allowances entered for the same day -This is of particular concern because the Family Court Unit has a material number of meal allowance payments. For 2003, the Family Court Unit paid a total of $31,605 to the 22 active employees, representing 2,107 meals. Thirteen of these employees received meal allowances of more than $1,000; nine of these employees received payment for more than 120 meals.
The department should investigate the validity of meal allowances paid to employees in the Family Court Unit.
The payroll clerk should review information before entering it into NUHRS to avoid errors and duplicate entries.
A sampling of overtime slips has been reviewed. Of this sampling, no employee requested or received a double meal allowance. If your office has specific instances where an employee received, but was not entitled to a meal money allowance, please provide us with those specific instances.
The payroll clerk does review information before entering it into NUHRS. Any specific instance of duplicative entries should be made known to this office.
Intervention by the Comptroller's Payroll Unit prevented duplicate payments from being made.
Improper Use of NUHRS Leave Codes – An employee claiming workers' compensation for an on-the-job injury was improperly coded as Authorized Leave with Pay ("AWIP"). The proper NUHRS code is Use of Injured on Duty ("UIOD"). With proper coding in the system, NUHRS would have automatically deducted sick and vacation from the employee.
The payroll clerk should use the proper codes for entries into the NUHRS system.
Without the specific name of the employee, this office cannot intelligently respond to your concern.
The improper use of NUHRS leave codes including this specific issue was discussed through various meetings our Comptroller's Payroll Section has had with the department's staff. We will furnish the department with the name of this specific employee as 2 days sick leave need to be reduced from their NUHRS balance.
Failure to use Authorized Leave Slips - The Sheriff's payroll clerk stated that leave time is entered into NUHRS for certain employees even though those employees do not document their leave time on authorized leave slips; instead, entries are based on information contained on timesheets.
Only leave properly documented by an authorized leave slip should be entered into NUHRS.
The practice of completing time and leave slips for all staff assigned to the Family Court and Mineola Units has always been and continues to be Department practice.
The departmental records do not contain leave authorization slips for three senior level employees. These employees work at the Correctional Center, but the Mineola payroll clerk posts their leave. All leave should be authorized and properly documented.
Uncertain Signature Identification - The payroll clerk could not recognize the requesting, authorizing or verifying signatures for certain NUHRS overtime entries.
To identify the requesting, authorizing and verifying signatures on overtime slips, authorized employees should also include their badge numbers.
It should be noted that overtime slips do not provide for the printed name of the authorizing signature. As per a previous document that was sent to your office in response to your petty cash account audit, the including of the officer's badge number with signature was our suggested remedy. This policy has been implemented. It should also be noted that we do not agree that it is the responsibility of the payroll clerk, who performs data entry functions, to specifically identify the signature of the requesting, verifying or authorizing individual on each individual overtime slip.
Although the department has agreed to the use of badge numbers for purposes of petty cash, it has not agreed to its use on overtime slips. The department should reconsider implementing our recommendation of including badge numbers on this document. Additionally, the responsibility of identifying signatures should be the payroll clerk's duty since they are entering the information into NUHRS for payment. Requiring badge numbers on these documents would make their job easier.
Based upon the multitude of inappropriate entries still being made by the payroll clerk, we recommend that proper supervision and additional training be given to ensure that NUHRS entries are made in compliance with county payroll procedures.

Besides that whole unwarranted slaughter of millions of turkeys thing, Thanksgiving is also about being a decent person and giving help to those who need it. It's a mantra that looks nice on a greeting cardbut it's not often when we associate decency with rock 'n' roll. Except this year because Alex's Bar is hosting a benefit show that not only gives proceeds to the Eli Home and Friendship Kitchen, but also serves up a pretty kick-ass plate of live music. Featuring acoustic performances by Bad Brains frontman H.R., Walter Schreifels from the Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand and Rival Schools, Far/onelinedrawing singer Jonah Matranga, Jeff Pezzati from Chicago punk band Naked Raygun and Adolescents bassist Steve Soto and a deejay set by Dennis Owens, the only group notbenefiting from the holiday are the aforementioned turkeys, but at this stage, they're probably used to it by now.

Distance Education Student
Busy mother, school teacher and student, Tamara, speaks about the flexibility of Augustine Institute Catholic Distance Education.
Augustine Institute Distance Education
The Augustine Institute uses modern media technology to impart ancient wisdom. Our Distance Education program is setting the standard in graduate Catholic theological education. Located in the heart of the Denver Tech Center, the Institute employs the most advanced technologies in video production and online delivery, and is staffed by a professional production team whose accomplishments include Symbolon and YDisciple.
Making Distance Education Personal
The distance education students of the Augustine Institute are members of a community of learners and fully-integrated with our on-campus program. Distance students watch the same lectures as our on-campus students and participate in discussions with them and with our faculty through our course management system. Institute faculty are known for their willingness to converse with and advise our distance education students.
In addition, many of our distance education students come to Denver for week-long intensive courses, during which they have the chance to experience the life of the Institute first-hand.
On-Demand Video Instruction
Class lectures are available the same week of the recording, offering distance education students the opportunity to watch the lectures at their own convenience. Video recordings can be accessed at your computer or mobile device for later use from the course website. We provide friendly and professional technical support to help you navigate the technology and tools.
State of the Art Learning Tools
The program features the most advanced online tools for course interaction and resources. The course management system allows students to…
- View course outlines and syllabi
- Interact with fellow students through a dynamic message board
- Participate in live video discussion sessions
- Submit course work and tests using a variety of media including Word docs, pdf's, audio and video
- View progress at any time
Technical Requirements
The new delivery method will require the following technological capabilities from our students:
- a computer less than 5 years old,
- a web camera,
- an Internet connection with download speeds of 1.5 Mbps (check your speed at a site like speedtest.net),
The cost of our Distance Education program is $1575 per class (beginning Fall, 2014).
Students typically find that an additional 3-to-5 hours of study time is required for each course each week. Thus, a student enrolled in a three-credit-hour course should plan to devote 6-to-8 hours per week to the course.
Is the Augustine Institute for You?
Our students include catechists, recent college graduates, parents, lay leaders, educators, clergy and religious, and Catholics from a variety of professions. Whether you are seeking personal enrichment, catechetical certification, continuing education credits or a graduate degree in Theology, the Augustine Institute is your resource for growing in your Catholic faith.

Hi, I'm James Tyler.I'm an Online Marketing Consultant.That means I use websites and automated online methods to make my living. Up until recently, that was my only way of being in business. No store, no offices -- just the World Wide Web, a computer, an Internet connection and targeted traffic. Suppose you had to make your income solely from your website. If nobody finds you online, you're sunk! Even if they find you, if you don't have a strong call-to-action, you're broke! If it takes 7 or 8 exposures to your message and business before they buy and your website lets them get away, you're leaving money on the table! Now, ask yourself this question: "Why should I care about all that?" Well, because local search with Search Engines is becoming more important than just about any other form of advertising.

FORT WAYNE – Instead of being wide-eyed, Hunter Renfroe's eyes might have been drooping a little during his debut with the TinCaps on Saturday.
That's because the first-round draft pick out of Mississippi State got up at 3:40 a.m. and flew from Eugene, Ore., to Portland to Indianapolis to Fort Wayne before finally arriving at Parkview Field about 2 1/2 hours before the 7:05 p.m. first pitch against the Drayton Dragons.
It's the same mental approach at the plate and know that even though I did wake up at 3:40 in the morning, just go up there and have energy and compete my heart out, Renfroe said shortly before making the start in right field. I am trying to meet everybody and fit in and get to know them.
Renfroe's debut was a tough one as the TinCaps lost their fourth straight game against the Dragons 7-6 in front of 8,009 fans. Renfroe was 2 for 4 with a single, double and an RBI walk.
Fort Wayne (60-57, 17-31 second half) was swept in South Bend the previous three days.
It didn't go any better against the Dragons, despite a late rally.
Dayton (55-63, 27-22 second half) scored five runs on seven hits in the fifth inning to rally from a two-run deficit.
The Dragons had five straight hits in the inning off losing pitcher Walker Weickel (3-6), who gave up 11 hits and seven earned runs in 4 2/3 innings.
Rodney Daal, who had three hits, hit a solo home run to left and Gabriel Quintana had a sacrifice fly in the ninth to cut the deficit to 7-6.
The rapid rise through the San Diego Padres system has been the norm for Renfroe since playing for Mississippi State in the College World Series.
Renfroe, 21, who was picked No. 13 overall, batted third for the TinCaps. At Mississippi State, Renfroe hit .352 with 15 doubles, two triples, 15 home runs, 58 RBI and 51 runs scored in 59 games.
His 15 home runs were tied for 14th most in NCAA Division I. He earned All-American honors and led the Bulldogs to their first-ever College World Series Finals, losing in the finals to UCLA.
The World Series is probably one of the best things best things I have ever done in my life, Renfroe said. It's one of the highest moments and one of the lowest losing to UCLA. It was heartbreaking, but on the other hand we were in the final two and that's pretty special.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Renfroe started his professional career with Short-Season-A Eugene on July 11 and hit .308 in 25 games with four home runs and 18 RBI.
The Mississippi native played in the Northwest League All-Star Game last week and came through with the game-winning hit in the ninth inning and was second in the home run derby.
I really enjoyed my time in Eugene, and I had a great time there, Renfroe said. It helped me to step into my professional career.
Renfroe takes the place of outfielder Corey Adamson, who was moved to Advanced-A Lake Elsinore.
You try to move up in the organization or anything is good, and I am just excited to get started, Renfroe said. It's something that is up to the head office. I just have to go out there and perform to the best of my ability, and they will make the decisions on whether I move up or down. I am in this organization for one reason, and that is to play to the best of my ability, and I hope to make it to the big leagues one day.

Damian Lynch and Brandon Yarborough came to California and put together this cool edit for Gullwing. Watch it here.
Gullwing has a sick new clip of Kai Gormsen ripping spots in and around San Francisco. Watch it here.
Gullwing just put up this video with tons of unseen footage from their trip to last year's Death Match.
When you've got both Shaun Ross and Tyrone Olson, you know it's a unique crew of rippers. Another rad ender goes down on the big QP.
The Gullwing crew made its way through busy Los Angeles en route to "The Orchid" nestled in the coastal wonderland of central California.
He attacks a bunch of different terrain, has surprise moves you never see coming, and has a blast pushing himself as hard as he can. Hell yeah, this part rips.
Keith runs you through the road trip where he got sick in Austin, cruised with the boys, and finally got his Gullwing ad at an abandoned waterpark.

Memory is a large part of our lives, informing the decisions that weave the fabric of our identity and make us who we are. Clothes can be powerful triggers of certain memories: the first school uniform, a favorite pair of jeans, even traditional wedding day clothes all evoke remembrances. Whether protective or decorative, clothing becomes the connective tissue that links the self with the outside world. For this group exhibition of works of art by six Canadian artists, curator Renee Baert considers the power of clothing to evoke remembrances and brings together works that link the private domain of corporeality and expressivity and the public domain of code and symbol.
Dominique Blain uses soldiers' helmets welded together at the crown to form irregular spherical shapes that reference the absent human head. The formal presentation of these objects in a glass vitrine highlights the disturbing character of these objects, with their lingering traces of bodies and use. Cathy Dalys large drawings of voluminous dresses have a hint of unreality about them. They are impossible garments that could never be worn but which relate to glamorous ideals of feminine beauty. From another point of view, Aganetha Dyck starts with actual clothes and accessories once worn by women, and then exposes the objects to the transformative activity of honey bees until they are covered in wax. Her Anorexic Dress preserves the skinny dress as an artifact of the destructive self. Patrick Traers embroidery moves the viewer from the exterior to interior of the body by mapping the elegant tracery of specific circulatory systems. Rather than a literal anatomical diagram, Traers designs suggest how clothing is a second skin that protects our inner identity. Conversely, the work of Evelyn von Michalofski comments on how clothing creates an external identity. Taking her cue from a fanciful 18th century image of thematic costumes for street peddlers, her costume of trinkets, fabric and wax literalizes the cult of hygiene and beauty: the wearer is transformed into a human advertisement. Finally, Faye HeavyShields Clan clusters together pieces of clothing that have been formed into conical, teepee-like shapes, and painted a uniform rust colour. Different pieces of draped clothing show darts, gathers, buttons and lace that have absorbed the paint to different degrees, revealing subtle heterogeneity where there would appear to be homogeneity, and alluding to the identity of First Nations people marginalized by racist powers.
In these works the body is absent. The recognition of its absence, however, brings powerful fragments of memory, along with an awareness of how clothing as a surrogate body mediates our experience of the world.

I've already expressed my thoughts earlier and and they have been repeated by bluegaspode earlier in this thread.
I should probably stop trying to help people by telling them through which channels they have a better chance to get help. I hadn't realized that they wanted to continue be unhappy and preferred to scream/rant where no one hears them instead of doing it where at least some Logitech representatives hear them.
Anyone that doesn't want my help can just ask me to put them on my ignore list, I'll be happy to add more people to it. If you don't want to ask me you can always just put me on your ignore list in your forum profile settings.

July 2012
by METRO Staff
The 32-mile first phase of SunRail, serving 12 stations and linking DeBary to Orlando, will be operational by 2014. This segment includes stations in DeBary, Sanford, Lake Mary, Longwood, Altamonte Springs, Maitland, Winter Park, Florida Hospital, LYNX Central Station, Church Street, Orlando Health/Amtrak, and Sand Lake Road. By 2016, extended service is planned for stations at Meadow Woods, Osceola Parkway, Kissimmee Amtrak and Poinciana Industrial Park, as well as a new northern terminus at the DeLand Amtrak station.
Parsons Brinckerhoff is providing program management services to FDOT in support of the SunRail development, including a senior manager serving as SunRail's chief operating officer throughout the development process. The firm is also responsible for all safety and security planning and design services.
When fully operational, SunRail is expected to carry as many passengers as one lane of the I-4 expressway during peak travel periods. FTA projections show opening day ridership for the 31-mile initial operating segment at approximately 4,300 passenger trips per day, escalating to 7,400 trips by 2030.
The cost for Phase 1 and 2 of SunRail is approximately $615 million in year-of-expenditure dollars. Of that, it is expected that the federal government will pay 50%, the state 25% and local governments in the four counties apportioning the remaining 25%. Once open, Sun-Rail will receive an allocation of federal funds each year. FDOT is picking up the remaining O&M costs that are not covered by revenues for the first seven years. After that, local governments will be responsible for O&M expenditures.
Aside from increasing mobility in the greater Orlando area, the SunRail system is intended to establish the spine of a regional rail network that can be expanded to serve other areas of the state. It is also expected to encourage and stimulate transit-oriented development around station areas, with the potential for billions of dollars in additional economic benefit to local communities.

The works in my exhibit for Artomatic 2012 celebrate the creative process. Medium unites with dramatic motion in a spontaneous manner. I invite the viewer to bring their meaning to my abstract paintings and become a participant in my artistic expression.
Patricia Thalman
In one of America's most historic cities, Pat Thalman has established a niche for her dramatic contemporary fluid acrylic paintings. The creative process that Thalman most enjoys has led her on a journey that demonstrates the influences of the Abstract Expressionists and the fondness she has cultivated for Oriental Art, including especially Chinese Calligraphy and Japanese Block Prints. Thalman's technique does not include the use of the painter's traditional brushes. She produces her art by pouring, splattering, dripping and floating acrylics on canvas, adding marbling affects for texture and motion. One of her most important implements, she says, is a tarpaulin since she often gets as much paint on the floor and her person as she does the canvas. Thalman draws inspiration from events around her. She seeks, in an undefined and abstract manner, to capture a feeling, emotion or moment in time. Thalman hopes her paintings encourage the viewer to ascribe their own unique meaning to the work. Thalman has been active in the Fredericksburg, Va., art community for more than a decade and displays her paintings at Art First Gallery on Caroline Street. She received her undergraduate degree in Interior Design from the University of Maryland and later earned a Master's degree in Art Education from Penn State University.

- Publisher: Gaijin Games
- Release Date: Feb 26, 2013

- Summary: Runner 2 - Future Legend of Rhythm Alien is inspired by the Bit.Trip series originally released on Nintendo platforms.
- Developer: Gaijin Games

Score distribution:
Positive: 23 out of 23
Mixed: 0 out of 23
Negative: 0 out of 23
Mar 6, 2013There are very few games I'd recommend to anyone regardless of gaming experience or preference, but Runner 2 is one of them. It's a fantastic reminder that sometimes games are most effective when they don't try to emulate explosion-riddled Hollywood blockbusters and instead embrace solid gameplay mechanics and unfettered creativity.
Mar 13, 2013Bit.Trip Presents... Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien is a mix between a platform and a rhythm'n game. It looks sharp, it plays smooth and the music is the 'Trip' in the title. Try it for something simply funny.
Mar 20, 2013Extremely addictive and fun, this is one of the best indie games you can find these days. If you're looking for plain fun, this is one of the best choices.
Feb 28, 2013Bit.Trip Runner 2 uses a simple premise, a beautiful universe and a giddy set of songs to conjure an overwhelming sense of happiness. It's a game everyone can play.
Apr 11, 2013Travelling along a plane at a constant pace has never been so much fun – Runner2 is an addictive and rewarding experience.
Apr 1, 2013Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien feels like the natural evolution of the original Bit.Trip Runner. The heart of the game is still the same, but it comes with a prettier look and expanded gameplay. While I felt like some of the expansion was unnecessary, it's still a very fun and challenging experience. For new players, it's more accessible than the original, and for returning vets it's more of what made the original so unique.

Negative: 1 out of 26
Jul 13, 2013I'm a huge fan of the BIT.TRIP series, BIT.TRIP RUNNER in particular. When I saw this for pre-order, I new straight away I had to get it. So I did. I've played through the entire game and still aiming to 100% the game. Unbelievable fun and re-playability with solid mechanics and 2.5D graphics with this game, an easy 10/10.… Expand
Mar 5, 2013Excellent graphics with fluid animations
- Slick, responsive controls
- Fantastic music
- Charmingly nonsensical plot and cutscenes
- Optional checkpoints which grant a score bonus if skipped
- Great level variety; 5 worlds, each of which has a unique look and feel, and its own musical style
Overall a very impressive, polished sequel which should keep fans of its predecessor happy whilst also being more accessible for new players.… Collapse
Jan 3, 2014A very frustrating but brilliant game. The graphics are brilliant, the music is brilliant, the gameplay is brilliantly simple.
Every aspect of this game is designed to distract you from the essential timing of your button-presses to advance throught the seemingly never-ending obstacle courses. Alone, the simple free-running style would be easy, but the moving backgrounds, particle effects, detailed environments, hyper music and wacky ideas ensure this is not so. I love that.… Expand
Jun 9, 2014Ah! More! And with a long name more, so that when you launch the game via Steam, you do not even see the name of the full game xD. This result is much better than the base game (yeah otherwise it will not be a sequel), the graphics are a little less sore eyes, the gameplay seems a little better and sounds are always good. But it obviously remains on the same type of game and this game despite these improvements will tire quickly too.… Expand
Mar 6, 2013As someone who really enjoys rhythm based games, I initially had a lot of fun playing this. However, I quickly found the "normal" difficultly setting to be far too easy, and switched it to hard. The game instantly became extremely frustrating. It's kinda annoying that you have to do the levels completely perfectly to continue. I would have really like to have maybe one or two health points or something so I can keep going when I mess up. But being sent back to the beginning again and again and again and again and again really started to get on my nerves. So I set it back to "normal", and was once again boringly breezing through the levels with little effort. Also, the music could be better. In most levels, the music doesn't really get "good" until the very end, at which point it... ends. It'd be better if some levels could START OUT with awesome music and just build on that, instead of starting with quiet, dinky, boring blips.
Also, there's no setting to sync audio with video (like in Guitar Hero etc), so on my screen, the audio always seems a tad ahead of the video, which makes the game difficult to play.… Expand
Mar 9, 2013This game is literally just quick-time events. I don't understand the appeal in it, at all. I can safely say that it's better than Bit.Trip Beat and Bit.Trip Runner 1 though, but that's not much of an achievement. The fact that games like Dishonored and Stalker have a lower score than this sickens me.… Expand

CUMBERLAND, Md. - Law enforcement officials in western Maryland are discussing whether to beef up punishment for people who call in bomb threats to schools.
The Cumberland Times-News reports ( http://bit.ly/13dRLln) that nearly two dozen people from law enforcement, education and the government met Monday to discuss possibly increasing penalties.
Allegany County Schools Superintendent David Cox says there have been too many threats over the years and more severe consequences are needed. Such threats can drain resources and take up valuable school time.
One board member, Mike Llewellyn, says there was even a bomb scare on the day of the Connecticut school shooting last month.
Llewellyn is advocating charging teenagers 13 and older as adults for making bomb threats. That could subject them to harsher penalties.

Reviews for Wild Rose Deodorant
By Weleda
Average rating: 3.9 out of 5 hearts
By Olga on June 19, 2014
Good but could be better
I like this product quite a bit, however, I don't feel that it lasts through the day very well. At times I feel like I need to reapply, and that is not due to good odor consequences. I wish it would be stronger as far as it's antiperspirant powers. I have been alternating wearing this deodorant, and wearing my old one when I need to make sure I am protected throughout the day. I am on the verge of if I want to buy this again. I may need to look into other brands.
By C. on April 2, 2014
Love the smell!
I absolutely love the way this smells and I purchased it on the recommendation of a friend who also values more natural/safer products. It works fine as basically an underarm perfume/refresher, but obviously it will not impact perspiration. It doesn't sting or irritate and the smell is lovely.
By Sarah on February 22, 2014
Just ok
The smell is ok, but can be overpowering. And I still can't get used to spray deodorants.
By Deena on August 14, 2012
My long-time deodorant
I've been using this deodorant for over ten years (!). I perspire heavily, and while this deodorant doesn't affect the level of perspiration (would you trust a product that did?), it does neutralize odors and gives me a fresh start to each day. Beautiful scent that mellows out within a few minutes of application.
By Anne-Marie on June 11, 2012
My new everyday deodorant
Love this deodorant! I initially bought this and one of the erbaviva deodorants to try and found both to be quite effective, but ended up buying this one in full size because it is a bit cheaper and it prefer its scent. I Like its floral scent and the fact that it fades away as the day goes on, leaving me smelling fresh, but not like perfume. Overall, an excellent natural deodorant.
By Carrie on December 21, 2011
Very nice natural spray deodorant.
This has a nice rose scent after the alcohol dries down. Does need reapplied throughout the day, but I would rather do this than wear harsh chemicals under my arms. Just buy the travel size and leave it at work for convenience.
By Erin on December 11, 2011
Did not work for me
I was disappointed in the performance of this deoderant. I did a test run on a rather lazy sunday at home, and it stopped working in about 2 hours. This was fine with me, since I had bought the travel size first and didn't really care for the rose scent anyway.
By Lucy on July 9, 2011
Lovely perfume- terrible deodorant
I loved this the very first day I got it. I had never smelled such a great smell on my underarms! It lasted a while too. I does burn when you put it on and you have to get the spray applicator really close to your underarm for good aim. Lovely smell- However… after a few days it didn't last more than 1 hour. I really reeked of body odor even after reapplying. It has made my underarms red and itchy as well. It does nothing to control odor and it wears off very quickly. I would recommend using this as a reasonably priced and very good smelling perfume. It just wasn't made to deodorize.
By Andrea on May 5, 2011
Best product and great value!
This is hands-down the best deodorant I have found! I wear it to the gym and in Jamaica and still smell like a rose. You have to get used to the natural "wetness" of your sweat glands being able to do what they are meant to if you previously used anti-perspirant. I absolutely love this product!
By Andrea on March 28, 2011
The only natural choice that has worked for me
I have tried many natural deodorant products and this is the best. You have to get used to the switch from anti-persiprant to deodorant because it doesn't control wetness. This product smells great and lasts all day, even in hot weather. The price is reasonable as well.
Free of aluminum and antiperspirant chemicals, this soft feminine deodorant rids unpleasant body odors instantly.
