I work for NYS government and we have recently adopted the W3C Guidelines for NYS Web sites. This has brough up many questions from NYS public colleges and universities. A while back there was some info on the San Fran State University access law suit.

|Classic, Traditional
What was your source for this knitting project?
Online Photo or Website
Name of website or photo Three Tams
What materials did you use? Worsted weight yarns: one solid color (Ella Rae Classic yarn) and one variegated (KnitPicks Chroma Worsted), size 3 and 5 needles
Thanks for the link. I copied and saved it on my computer. I'm sure I will make one.
Trudi, pleasing color combination, lovely tam. Even the inside looks nice,
Lovely pattern and colours. It reminds me of chrysanthemum quilts, but the six-petalled flower in the centre fits even better with that design.
Would someone please consider doing a brief tutorial in the proper way to read the charts that accompany knitting in the round like this? LOVE this pattern and got it started, but am having trouble continuing on as the "blank spaces" on the chart aren't lining up with my work! =( Would love to finish this - please H*E*L*P! Thanks! ;)
Let me see what I can do tomorrow in the way of explaining. Or maybe we can connect in Ravelry (where you will find me as Trudi) and I can try to help you figure out what is going on.
Are you up to round 30? If so, go back and use the last stitch from round 29 as the first of the two slipped knitwise stitches. If you use the last stitch from the previous round as the first slipped stitch each time you need to do a decrease, that should take care of the problem. I hope it does!

Mr. Holder's letter answers Mr. Rand's question, "Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill Americans not engaged in combat on U.S. soil. The answer to that question is "no." — Jay Carney
Housing in California is on average 2.7 times more expensive than in Texas. The median house costs $459 per square foot in San Francisco and $323 in San Jose, but just $84 in Houston, according to chief economist Jed Kolko of the San-Francisco based real-estate firm Trulia TRLA +3.02% . Housing in California is cheaper inland than on the coast, but good luck finding a job. The median home in Fresno costs $95 per square foot, but the unemployment rate is nearly 15%, compared with 6% in Houston. — Allysia Finley
So, while the old GOP bulls were busy trying to pull defeat from the fires of victory, Rand Paul got that victory. — John Hayward
"I don't think that what happened yesterday is helpful to the American people". — John McCain on Rand Paul's filibuster
There's an increasing sense in America now that the facades are intact but the machinery inside is broken. — Peggy Noonan
"I asked the president, can you kill an American on American soil, it should have been an easy answer. It's an easy question. It should have been a resounding, an unequivocal, 'No.' The president's response? He hasn't killed anyone yet." — Rand Paul
Are you so afraid that you are willing to trade your freedom for security? — Rand Paul
Look at how law school applications are in free fall. I hire lawyers and train them myself. They usually have about $200,000 in debt. To service that debt, I'd have to pay them about $133,333 per year. Do you think I pay a kid with zero experience $133,333 a year? There are far too many graduates and too few jobs, so I can hire a new lawyer for $50,000 — which is less than I made when I started 20 years ago. And that's one near the top of his class at a prestigious school. Supply and demand is awesome for me; for young people, who largely voted for Obama, not so much. They get the hope but those of us who are established in liberal-approved fields like the law get to keep the change. — Kurt Schlichter

The Tulane Computer Science Coordinate Major allows students to complete a series of courses in computer science, as well as a capstone course that demonstrates the application of computer science to a related subject. Students must complete a major in another discipline, which is normally the area of application for their studies in computer science. But any area in which a student is pursuing extensive course work can serve as the area of application. Upon successful completion of the coordinate major, the student's transcript will reflect the fact that the student has completed the coordinate major in computer science with a focus on the area of application.
Here is a list of the five introductory courses required for the coordinate major; details about courses at the 3000-level and above can be found on the individual course level pages.

Hoteliers, it might be time to plan a celebration. According to new data, it looks like 2014 will be a year of profit growth.
Atlanta-based PKF Hospitality Research recently released a new report that estimates U.S. hotels will see a 7.7 percent increase in revenue per available room next year. Think that sounds promising? Then, you'll also enjoy the estimated 15.4 percent increase in net operating income.
While hotel managers and meeting planners alike have dealt with the challenges of federal budget cuts and smaller expense accounts for business travelers, the forecast predicts that those factors will be in the rearview soon.
"We expect the factors that have inhibited lodging performance during the first half of 2013 will dissipate at the year goes on," R. Mark Woodworth, President, PKF Hospitality Research, said. "By 2014, any uncertainty caused by fears of fiscal cliffs and sequestration should be alleviated, thus resulting in improved attitudes among hotel guests, owners and operators."
There may be improved attitudes among hotel guests, but they are also going to be dealing with reserving rooms at a higher price point.
"Starting in 2014, we foresee economic and market conditions that should allow managers to become more aggressive with their pricing policies," Woodworth added.
Those managers will be welcoming more guests, too. With a forecasted national occupancy level of 63.8 percent, hoteliers are on a path that leads to the highest national occupancy rates since 1997.
SEE ALSO: What Hotels Are Failing to Do
As planners work to secure low room rates for attendees and discounts on room rentals and food and beverage costs, the PKF predictions mean that those negotiations may get more challenging.
"Since most conventions and meetings are held in the larger, luxury and upper-scale properties, this will present a challenge for planners," Woodworth said. "Events will have to be booked further in advance, and planners are starting to concede the need to pay higher room rates."

For Immediate Release
Northbrook, Illinois - February 20, 2012 - OpticsPlanet Inc. (www.OpticsPlanet.com) has taken a big step forward in their hearing enhancement selection with the addition of Pro Hear by Pro-Ears. Hunters, outdoorsmen and adventurers can find the perfect option for their unique needs with one of three new models of Pro Hear Behind-the-Ear Enhancers, each providing a different level of hearing amplification and noise reduction.
The Pro-Ears Pro Hear II is the first step into digital sound amplification. It allows hunters to stalk turkey and deer far more effectively, as the greater hearing distance hunters will enjoy gives them more time to line up a shot. The Pro Hear II is also useful for urban situations, when a reduction of loud noises from construction or traffic is welcome while necessary sounds such as sirens or other warning sounds are enhanced. This finely tuned hearing experience delivers balanced sounds whether the wearer is in the woods, walking along a busy city avenue or enjoying a ballgame. The discreet style of the Pro Hear II will help keep it undiscovered, and will not interfere with most glasses or hats.
The Pro-Ears Pro Hear II+ adds greater adjustability and three layered noise reduction for clearer amplification and greater feedback cancellation. The Pro Hear II+ minimizes general background noise and loud sounds even more effectively than the Pro Hear II so hunters will hear only the sounds they want to hear and nothing more.
As leader of the pack, the Pro-Ears Pro Hear IV is even lighter and more comfortable than the Pro Hear II and II+, but employs more advanced audio technology to allow for greater customization with memory programming for varied environments and the highest sound quality in the Pro Hear family.
These new hearing enhancers from Pro-Ears require no special fitting and will work equally well for either ear. They have been engineered to provide clear, consistent sound that is easy for the brain to interpret, giving hunters, shooters and nature enthusiasts an advantage over their game in the field. OpticsPlanet is excited to have these new shooting accessories from Pro-Ears added to their network of stores because it brings them one step closer to providing the world's widest selection of hunting and shooting gear to professionals and enthusiasts.

A solid big-mountain binder that puts your mind at ease with its reliable retention and consistent release.
Crush the fear of pre-release and dominate sphincter-clenching big-mountain lines with the Rossignol FKS 180 Ski Binding. This 18-DIN monster has a widened footprint that gives the ability to transmit every twitch, tilt, and pressure change in your boot across the entire width of your favorite fatties so you can easily make big moves on burly lines. Plus its unique turntable-style FKS heel and cleverly designed toe offer you the most reliable retention and consistent release in its class.
- DIN range of 8-18 delivers an exceptionally solid, reliable binding for big-mountain hard-charging skiers
- Wide mounting zone supplies better contact with wide skis
- All-metal reinforced housing increases binding integrity
- Pivot toe provides four points of contact with the boot for maximum power transmission, has 180-degree multi-directional release for reliable release, and high vertical and lateral elastic travel for increased shock absorption and reduced inadvertent release
- 72mm AFD reduces friction during release
- FKS heel delivers reliable retention and consistent release due to 25mm of elastic vertical travel which reduces unwanted pre-releasing, three points of contact that firmly hold the boot heel, and a heel piece that rotates with the boot directly under the tibia
- FKS heel has a short mounting zone to provide deeper, rounder, more consistent ski flexing, turning, floating, and smearing
- Lateral Travel: 40mm
- Low Ramp Angle: 0.0deg

rugged, safe, long term investment
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love these bindings, I have run then consistently for 6 years. They are quite simple the best. Unless you run full on 40-DIN race binders, this is the the highest end, toughest binding available to the consumer. It is also a safe binding, relatively speaking. Even with the DIN around 13-14, the toe will still rotate when it needs to, and the pivot heel is unparalelled in saving your kneee ligaments for the performance. Have also run PEAK 18+, these bindings scare me sometimes, because the heel is fixed, and I fear for my ACL.
FKS 180 (look pivot 18) inspires confidence on many levels.
Two issues though, so I have to take off 1 star- the plastic low friction plate under the toe has broken three times, I keep getting replacement parts through I kind fellow at a local shop. Small issue, an inconvenience, but you have to catch it. In most cases I have cought it just cracked. In the last case, I felt movement in the toe while skiing and found the whole plastic toe support bit was gone, which isnt non-useable, but very risky to use.
also had the metal pivot plate on the heel crack, only once, replaced and is fine, has been three years since.

My favorite binding of all time. Bombproof, reliable, you can't ask for much more. Standing at the top of a technical line, the last thing you want to think of is "I hope I don't pop out of my bindings...". That thought won't cross your mind when you're in these. I know a lot of big mountain guys/gals that swear by these, so obviously I followed suit.

The Best Binding Design Ever
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
There's a reason Rossignol decided to bring this style of binding back to the market, its simply the best binding design ever made. They are the most durable and best functioning bindings ever. They keep you on your skis when you need it most, and only release in the gnarliest of spill when you actually want them to release. Whether your sending it in the park or the big mountains, this is the best performing binding out there for you. I would suggest using the 14 version if you weight under 160 lbs.

I was afraid this binding would be too burly for me, as I ride at 10-11 DIN, but it worked out well. I now have three separate pairs on different skis, and I like them so much I won't even buy another binding anymore. The release is so consistent, and it lets you out when you need to come out. I have never felt safer clicked into a pair of bindings. Also, the weight and rigidity of the binding also helps you mach through chop, crud and chunder, which is a huge plus in my eyes. Best binding on the market, hands down.
I trust STH bindings as well, but do not buy them anymore after discovering the turntable treasure!

Solid Binder
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These bindings have stood the test of time in terms of design and are essentially bulletproof in their construction. I haven?t come out of them yet, but the turntable heel is a kneesaver on certain awkward releases. The one weird thing about them is the forward pressure. The white indicator is not accurate, and it is really something that you should leave up to someone who has experience mounting and adjusting FKS bindings (it?s an ?adjust by feel? binding). In addition, the heelpiece is fixed with very little adjustment, so if you change boot sizes/want to have someone else try your ski, they would have to be re-mounted.
Dylan Manley
Best bindings available
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Of all bindings I've ever had, the FKS design binding is by far the most durable and functional. The metal construction can withstand the abusive impacts in park and street much better than its plastic alternatives. Although these are not by any means the lightest binding set up, they are one of the most tried and true option in aggressive skiing.

best binding ever made
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
there's a reason people hoard these bindings and dig through ski swaps and thrift stores to find them. aside from added the option for a bigger brake, these bindings have been bulletproof and reliable since they first came out. they started out as race stock bindings, but were phased out once rossi came out with the PX series. because of that, they retained their resale value until demand got so high that they had to reintroduce them a few years back. the narrow mounting pattern allows your ski to flex more freely, and they're also super low profile which allows for more control/keeps you closer to your ski. I've ridden it for years and not once have I ever encountered a prerelease problem, and they're solid steel so breaking them is damn near impossible. if going hard is your thing, then these are the bindings you'll want under your feet.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
After years skiing on Markers and Salomons, wishing for something safer and more durable, I decided to finally take the financial plunge and splurge on these bad boys. WORTH IT!!! These puppies keep you on lockdown, at least until a twisting fall that is. The predictable release on these compared to other brands gives you confidence like no other. I even brought my DIN setting down a full point, because these things are just so reliable at keeping you in when you want and letting you go when you don't. And the durability means you won't need a new pair next season, unlike plastic Markers and Tyrolias. Another thing that doesn't usually get mentioned, the shorter mounting platform REALLY DOES GIVE YOU A BETTER FEEL OF THE SKI!! Every other brand of binding I have ever tried leaves the portion of the ski underfoot feeling dead and clunky, where as the way these are mounted to the ski is very direct, with much less plates/plastic/metal in between you and the ski. Result? You can smear, carve, and spin with more precision.
Spend the extra money,
You won't regret it

This is by far the best binding I have used. If you like to ski park, hit BC jumps and lines and want to count on your gear to not pre-release and save your knees, this is the binding for you. The pivot design allows for proper heel release with great elastic movement. They are also almost indestructible. There are still pairs floating around from the 70s and you will never see this binding fade out.

I have a pair of powder skis at 122mm at the waist and am in that dilemma of whether to get the FKS with the 115mm break and bend them or the 130mm break? Which is better for performance reasons and benefits?
Arthur Debowski
I'd go with the 130 and deal with 4mm of overhang on each side. bending out the 115s will be taking them to the limit and if you aren't super experienced at it may end up breaking them or just doing a poor job. A 4mm overhang is pretty minimal.

Hardcore bindings for hardcore riders
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I can't imagine using any other binding after getting a pair of fks 180's. I've got these bad boys on my park skis and have decided they are nearly impossible to break. Any other binding out there i can find someway to break em, these not so much. They can take a beating.
If its lightweight your looking for you may have to get something else, but if you want a bombproof binding that can take a beating anywhere on the mountain these are the ones to get.
Justin Barr
I've been converted
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After multiple pre-release incidents with other brands of bindings, I purchased a pair of these bad boys and never looked back. You won't come out for any reason, until you need to. That's how a binding should work and that's all you need. Now to spread the word...

I have never come out of these bindings while I was still on my feet. They always stay on and give me a shot at sticking tough lines or off balanced landings. They are heavier than most bindings but they put your boot closer to the ski and keep you there. Be careful setting them up . . . heavy springs and fingers don't mix. Never met someone that had these bindings and didn't like them. I was stoked to see Rossignol put these back in the lineup a few years back. I dig the orange!

tough bindings.

These are my main inbound/slackcountry choice on three out of five of my inbounds skis (two others have Salomon STH 16s) at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. They suit me quite nice.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is hands-down the best beefy binding on the market. If you ski a fat ski, go big and fast and want to land big stuff without a pre-release, this is the binding for you. I've used the FKS for several seasons and still have to find something negative to say about them.
The "close to the ski" feel means that you get a more direct response from your skis. It provides optimal edge feel and allows for a more neutral stance on your boards. These all metal beasts will never break, they last forever and they look cool!
The only thing I can possibly see as a negative is that the pivoting heel is a little less straight-forward to put on, especially in deep snow or for inexperienced skiers...
Dan Be
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have a pair of these bindings that are now 6 seasons old. They look tore up but feel as good as they did when I first bought them. The binding has not changed in that time. I love the 0 degree ramp angle which puts you close to the ski and works really well for skiing switch. Full metal construction so these babies never break. The pivot heal allows you to crank these down to keep from pre-releasing, but always give when they need to so your knees are safe. This binding is also lighter than other full metal binders on the market from companies like Salomon or Tyrolia. Bottom line: If you huck day in and day out then this is the tool to have!
Alex Degnan
The Best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have these bindings on both my big mountain and park skis (JJ's and Rossi Scratch) and they have never disappointed. Very durable. I have had axial style Rossi's before and ended up breaking both baseplates, but never had an issue with the FKS. The pivoting heal is what sets it apart. I ride it at a fairly high DIN so when I land real hard or backseat on a cliff are park jump, it'll still hold me in. However, because of the pivoting heal, they will come right off when they are needed to. Saves knees!
Highly recommended.
Bomb Proof!
I have these on my Manta's and Automatic's. I've always had issues with pre-ejection (that's what she said), and the only time they've let loose was tomahawking down Granite... And that's when they should pop off.

"My only concern before hiring you was if you were going to be able to deliver. I was surprised that you were very skilled and knowledgeable about web design at such a young age. Most people that go to school for web design (and coding) don't know as much as you. I would recommend Evan Mays' services. He delivers a quality product and is very responsive to any and all questions that his clients may have and he does good business overall." – Alonzo Holmes, Beatfaktory.com


text: Fear of financial contagion was a major motivation behind the bailouts and other interventions provided during the recent sovereign debt crisis in Europe. Given the interconnected network of financial relationships among European nations, the potential for contagion seemed self-evident. But what really was – and is – the magnitude of the risk of sovereign contagion in Europe?

Most instructors are familiar with how challenging it is to create good multiple-choice questions with plausible alternative answers. But what happens when students generate their own questions, targeting the material they are learning, and contribute them to a shared repository where they can be answered, rated and discussed by their peers? It turns out there are many interesting answers to this question.
This talk will present the pedagogical motivations for having students build and moderate their own repository of questions using the PeerWise web-based tool. The repository serves not only as a drill-and-test library that students can use for practice, but also as a creative medium for engaging students in critical reflection and deep learning. A brief overview of PeerWise will be given, illustrated with examples of genuine student contributions and case studies of its use in practice. A summary of current research will be presented, and the talk will conclude with a look to the future.
Paul Denny is an instructor in the department of Computer Science at the University of Auckland. His interests include developing and evaluating technologies for supporting collaborative learning, particularly involving student-authored resources. He created PeerWise to help students author, share and discuss course-related assessment questions. In 2009 PeerWise won the Australasian Association for Engineering Education Award for innovation in curricula, learning and teaching.
PeerWise is now used at 1000 universities and schools around the world, hosting more than a million questions with associated explanations and discussions, and tens of millions of student answers. Paul is a recipient of the National Tertiary Teaching Excellence Award (2009) and the Computing Research and Education Association of Australasia Teaching Award (2010). His recent publications have examined the effectiveness of virtual achievements for motivating students in online environments and investigated the effectiveness of various styles of error reporting on the performance of novice programming students.

McKool Smith Secures $15 Million Verdict For Summit 6
DALLAS, April 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- McKool Smith has secured a $15 million patent infringement verdict on behalf of Dallas, Texas-based Summit 6 LLC against Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and Samsung Telecommunications America, Inc.
The verdict was handed down on April 5, 2013 after a six-day jury trial before Judge Reed O'Connor in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The jury found that Samsung infringed Summit 6's patented media uploading technology, U.S. Patent No. 7,765,482, which covers software that automatically processes digital photos before they are transmitted over a network by client devices, such as cell phones. Summit 6 accused Samsung phones that support MMS photo messaging of infringement.
The trial team representing Summit 6 included McKool Smith attorneys Ted Stevenson, John Campbell, Phillip Aurentz, Ashley Moore, Mitchell Sibley, Richard Kamprath, James Quigley, and Kat Li, and Bradley Caldwell of the Caldwell Cassady & Curry firm.
"The jury's verdict affirms that Summit 6's innovations are both novel and valuable," said Ted Stevenson, lead trial counsel for Summit 6. "Along with our client, we are pleased with the verdict."With more than 175 trial lawyers across offices in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Marshall, New York, Silicon Valley, and Washington, DC, McKool Smith has established a reputation as one of America's leading trial firms. Over the past seven years, the firm has secured seven nine-figure jury verdicts, as well as seven eight-figure jury verdicts. The firm has also won more National Law Journal and VerdictSearch "Top 100 Verdicts" over the last five years than any other law firm in the country. Courtroom successes like these have earned McKool Smith critical acclaim and helped the firm become what The Wall Street Journal describes as "one of the biggest law firm success stories of the past decade." McKool Smith represents leading clients in complex commercial litigation, intellectual property, bankruptcy, and white collar defense matters. For additional information, please contact Michael R. Coston at 212-402-9450 or firstname.lastname@example.com . SOURCE McKool Smith

Produced by Australian duo Twice As Nice (Nick Audino and Lewis Hughes), the song bounces on stuttering, Major Lazer">Major Lazer-style beat while Graham tosses out the come ons. "I take advantage of you / You take advantage of me / Drink out this bottle again / And paint your body on me", she sings. (See the complete "Put Your Graffiti On Me" lyrics here).
Is "Paint" a euphemism? "I don't know what you're talking about", she told E!, before explaining: "The song is basically about owning yourself sexually and allowing yourself to be owned too. And having empowerment in that… I'm all about female empowerment and having a song that has this kind of reference."
She's all about empowerment in the Benny Boom-directed video as well: Graham kicks it off by spray-painting the camera lens and then, clad in throwback '90′s street style (and, at one point, a yellow animal print cat-suit), she leads a troupe of dancers in a routine that recalls the Pussycat Dolls ' hottest clips. (The ponytail whipping alone is that fierce.)
Is "Put Your Graffiti On Me" an off-the-wall hit? Let us know on Facebook, Twitter or in the comments.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

"memories of The Goose Girl"
I have to admit I had just listened to Shannon Hale's The Goose Girl. A fun fantasy stories too I might add. After a couple of weeks I couldn't remember which plot was which. I disagree that this is an over used plot, however. Most stories are similar in plot. It's the fun twist of the plot an author creates that makes it interesting. Scott Card has a brilliance in turning a plot and spinning a yarn to a fun twisted way. And he did it again. I found it very entertaining.
"Ending flatlines"
The ending was disappointing. Left me with a "What, that's it?" kind of feeling.
It does have some good insights into bullies and those who are bullied.The high school experience rings to close to home. It could help teenagers recognize that what they say and do effects those around them. Which could come back to haunt them in unexpected ways.
"Remember it's fiction"
I always have enjoyed Vince Flynn I have downloaded and listened to all of them. this was one I downloaded in abridged format so I bought the unabridged version. there is a lot more to the story. However I must say I would hate to think the plot line was accepted as a plausible reality. Killing politicians to overthrow the government? sounds like a dictatorial plot to me. This was a fun book to listen to just don't get to serious about the plot. I like science fiction with implausible plots too. I just don't take them too seriously.
I have all i can get from Audible
shooting flairs at marine one
It was a fun book
"Sorry I wasted my money."
The events of how the women survived in war torn Berlin must have some great material for stories. I would be interested in hearing more of those stories. I could not get past the third chapter.This one was told in a slow monotonous, and depressing tone.
"Child Porn"
Let me get this straight we have 14 year old boys in a Catholic boarding school next to a girl???s Catholic boarding school bullying and stealing drugs then selling them to 14 year old girls for sexual favors and with date rape motives. Not to mention the graphic detailing of porn sites no one would want to ever get caught visiting. All of this under the guise of that???s what 14 year old kids with raging hormones are thinking and doing. This is not even a fun book to listen to.
"Von what's his name isn't Ludlum"
This was a disappointing book. Too many times the real Jason Borne would have seen it coming. When he gets off a plain and finds three people killed less than 100 yard from the plane and he know they were killed by his nemesis I just can see him getting back on the plane and taking a nap with his new true love and his mentor with him on the plane. The borne I know would search the plane and confront his villain.
"Language Language Language"
I'm not a prude but although this was a cute story the language hurt my ears. If you've become totally desensitized to fowl language you'll enjoy the listen.
"A Fun Listen"
I really enjoyed all of the characters Smithson meets in his quest. The book made me want to get of my old fat butt and put some miles on my bike.
"A fun book"
This is a fun story not to be taken for anything more than entertainment value but it is a good road trip story

Hello all, Is there a standard, recommended technique for detecting browser capability when it comes to SMIL? You may be aware of the FakeSmile library: http://leunen.d.free.fr/fakesmile/ I would like to see hwo hard it would be to implement support for SMIL Timesheets 1.0 into this library, but I would like to 'future-proof' the library such that if (when) browsers start supporting it natively that the script does not run. I would like to be able to do this in Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Internet Explorer. Thanks, JeffReceived on Wednesday, 2 April 2008 20:44:37 GMT

All Eyes on Me - David Lewis
Many of us have heard the story about the boy named David from the Old Testament. David was a small boy who had many stronger brothers, but despite his small size God chose him for greatness. David fought many battles in his life, none more recognizable than the story of him and Goliath. This small boy brought down a huge giant with only a slingshot and a rock. When all seemed lost to everyone else, this young boy showed courage beyond the impossible.

India Globalization Capital Restructures Rock Aggregate Business
We believe that the iron ore business in India will soon become viable again. The Supreme Court in India recently allowed the reopening of 18 mines in Karnataka. It is expected that more mines will also be reopened. Further, the government has said that it expects to reduce the export duty on iron ore, which would make Indian ore more competitive in the global markets. Mukunda added, "We are gearing up for the eventual opening of this market with a view towards leveraging our strategic positioning in both India and China."
Once fully operational, our three-beneficiation plants in China can generate an aggregate of 200,000 to 250,000 tons of refined ore per year. Prices for iron ore are currently about $100 per ton with an expectation that they will increase by the end of the year. Once fully integrated and operating efficiently our projection is to generate a net income of about 20%. We expect to enhance these volumes with low grade ore shipped from India, which will be processed into high grade ore in our beneficiation plants. Mukunda concluded, "We still see strong demand for steel in Northern China and believe that our strategy of positioning the company on building iron ore assets will create significant shareholder value."
About IGC:

Answer #1dandd December 20, 2009, 15:22Master
You need to have a proper diagnostic inspection. A tune is for maintenance. If you have a loss of power on the freeway, you need to have a computer scan, a fuel pressure test, and exhaust back pressure test just for starters. How well does your trans shift, does it shift well ? Did the fuel and air filter get replaced with the tune-up, because they should have? For the time being , turn off the over drive switch, that should help, and drive 60mph or under until you get the problem really resolved.

S.F.Barnes: His Life and Times
Andrew Searle
Empire Publications
3 stars
By David Taylor
27 Aug 2007
Sydney, or as he was often known, SF Barnes is a name that still recurs when people are asked to name the greatest bowler that ever lived. His was an extraordinary and unique career. He played only a handful of matches for Warwickshire and two seasons for Lancashire. Most of his 27 Tests, in which he captured 189 wickets, a world record at the time, were played after he'd played his final county game. The rest of his career he spent in the leagues and with Stafforshire, a minor county, re-surfacing a few times a season to play for MCC and for the Players against the Gentlemen.
He was a dour, hard, uncompromising individual, with a strong sense of his own value. One player told of how he was picked for his first Gents v Players match and arrived to find Barnes urging the others not to play unless they received more money. He turned down the chance to tour Australia in 1920-21 because the MCC would not accede to his insistence that he take his family on tour with him - an astonishing request for the time. We learn little about his early life, except that his father was a steel-worker, that he was one of five children, and he trained as copper-plate writer. There are few clues as to why he became the person he did, and few illustrations - four uncaptioned pictures, three from his playing days and one in old age.
His bowling style was loosely described as fast-medium leg-cutters - think of someone bowling at Stuart Clark or Matthew Hoggard pace and cutting it away like a Shane Warne or an Anil Kumble. He had a tremendous strike rate but for every ball that took the edge there must have been countless more that beat the bat. He also employed swing, or 'swerve' as it was usually known then, and changes of pace.
Barnes played professional cricket into his sixties despite often succumbing to injuries when he was younger. Perhaps that's what made him decide to restrict his cricket to one-day league games and two-day minor county matches. His record in these matches was unsurpassed - here maybe Searle over-does the stats a little - and you have to wonder what caliber of batting he was up against. He was in a sense the first 'one-day specialist.'
Overall a good read - the author is clearly sympathetic to his subject - and you do start to warm to the old curmudgeon by the end.

Bangles and bracelets, you can never have too many. I'm a jeans and tee kind of gal, so brightly colored bangles give my style a little bit of oomph.
I'm really loving the Mexican fabric trend happening right now. Thing is...if you're Mexican-American (like me)...this isn't a trend -- it's real life! Hah. We've been using Mexican fabric for as long as I can remember: blankets, table runners, pillows, tablecloths, rebozos and beach blankets.
That said, seeing it on various design sites, the runway and indie boutiques on Instagram is kind of funny. There is nothing new under the sun, is there?
I guess you could say people are finally seeing the beauty of Mexican fabric. A couple years ago I got to visit San José del Cabo, Mexico and one of the highlights was the fabric store. I don't sew, but I loved how colorful the fabric was so I bought several yards. My motto usually is: buy it now and figure out what to do with it later. It's served me well.
To make your own Mexican fabric bangles, you'll need this:
various Mexican fabric
unfinished wooden bangles or repurpose old bangles
I used three different kinds of bangles -- whatever style you like works. A word about the glue in this project. I saw a video on You Tube for a diy fabric wrapped bangle bracelet tutorial and they said to use Mod Podge as a glue for the fabric and also as a sealer.
Don't do it.
I tried one using this technique to see if I liked the finish on it and ugh. Just ugh. When it dried, it made my fabric get super crunchy and rough and it did not feel nice to wear on my arm at all. I ended up tearing the fabric off and went back to the drawing board. I love Mod Podge as much as the next crafter, but not for this project.
Make Your Own Mexican Fabric Wrapped Bangle
With your thumb holding on to the end of one side of the fabric, start wrapping it around the bangle, pulling it firmly so the fabric lays smoothly.
Depending on what kind of fabric you use, the ends will fray. I don't mind -- I actually kind of like the way it looks. Once you've made it all the way around, fold the fabric over to the inside of the bangle. Add some more glue.
Hold it down to make sure the glue adheres to the fabric.
My bangles are so cute! They look like something you'd find at a really pricey indie boutique.
Totally perfect with a pair of jeans, a white v-neck and a pair of sandals. Are you a fan of the Mexican fabric trend?
