We are perplexed.
Hubby and I like to read the newspaper every morning in our Lazy Boys. The table lamps are awkward to use for this, and they don't put out enough light. In the olden days, people used to have a lamp that hung from their ceiling. There was a couple of hooks on the ceiling - and the lamp itself was on a chain, and you plugged it into a regular electrical outlet. I think this would be good for our purpose. Can a person change out a hanging light that was intended to be hardwired - into one of the old fashioned plug it in the wall outlet type? I cannot seem to find one of the old fashioned types - but it would help if i knew what it was called!
Is this doable? How would I go about doing something like this? |

One of the most innovative products that Polaroid has created as of late is this 16-megapixel Android camera, which was recently launched at the International 2012 CES (Consumer Electronics Show).
The Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera has all the usual digital camera features, such as the ability to take 16MP pictures or a 3x optical zoom, but also uses the Android to allow users to connect to the Internet through a Wi-Fi network where they can instantly upload their pictures to social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.
The camera also boast a 3.2-inch touchscreen that makes using its included programs as easy as they would be to operate on your Android phone and features a relatively slim design. Though the price and date of release for this camera hasn't been announced yet, you can always try to scam that information at the 2012 CES.

It would be an understatement to say that we're obsessed with FKA Twigs. The London based singer, whose doll like face was featured on the pre-fall 2012 I-D cover, is quickly garnering attention for her edgy lyrics and angelic voice. Dare we say, girl power?!
Over the years, we've found that Mother Earth has an answer to most if not all of our beauty queries. With a little bit of experimentation we've found natural alternatives that can put your favorite beauty line to shame. If you're up for a little DIY, follow Beauty Beat A-Z to add a little nature to your beauty regimen.
If you want stellar skin, you should indulge in the sweet side of life and use brown sugar as a natural scrub for your face and body. This sweet grain packs a powerful component called glycolic acid which is commonly used in beauty products to fight acne. Without harming our skin, the super small and soft particles work together to break down the stuff that helps dead skin cells form and reveal smooth and radiant skin. Brown sugar is also a humectant, so it draws in moisture and stores it for our driest moments. Simply apply the sugar to damp skin, rub gently in a circular motion and voila you're on your way to glowing skin!

So I have the flu, and in my fevered state decided to write a bunch of rules that make mechadendrites a bit more tentacley. Forgive the poor grammar and possible unbalanced-ness of the following, but I would love some feedback.
A Tech-Priest may have a number of mechadendrites up to his TB plus the value of his Machine trait if he has it. Mechadendrites by default feature grasping pincers that can be used to perform any action that would normally require hands, but lack the dexterity to properly wield weapons . A Tech-Priest may attack with mechadendrites in melee, doing 1d5 Impact damage, although instead of adding his SB, he adds his number of mechadendrites. Each mechadendrite may also be upgraded with one of the following upgrades:
Utility Upgrade: Contains several useful tools which count as a Combi-tool, granting +10 to Tech-Use tests.
Also includes a small, but powerful cutting blade. This blade grants +2 penetration to the characters mechadendrite attacks. This stacks with the penetration granted by other Utility Upgrades.
Medicae Upgrade: Includes medicae tools that grant a +10 to Medicae skill tests and Interrogation tests. Also includes six injectors, and a flesh stapler that can stop Blood Loss as a half action. Amputations performed with the aid of this upgrade are Challenging(+0).
When attacking with his mechadendrites, the character may change the damage type to Rending if he so chooses, and may as a free action, inject a target that takes wounds from the attack, with the contents of one of the injectors.
Optical Upgrade: This upgrade contains several visual sensors that link into the characters own senses, functioning as a photo-visor, magnoculars, preysense goggles and providing a +10 bonus to all Perception skill tests.
When attacking with his mechadendrites, the character counts as two creatures for the purposes of outnumbering opponents or being outnumbered. For the purposes of the Double Team talent, only one instance applies per Tech-Priest.
Manipulator Upgrade: This upgrade replaces the flexible pincer arrangement with a heavy metal servo-arm, with a powerful claw mounted on the end. This upgrade grants a +5 bonus to Strength tests made to lift, push or otherwise move objects, Grapple and to Climb tests, for each Manipulator Upgrade that the character has, and allows the character to grab onto something and tether himself to it as a free action.
When attacking with his mechadendrites, the damage increases to 1d10 + the number of mechadendrites. This effect does not stack with other manipulator upgrades.
Weaponisation Upgrade: This upgrade allows the mechadendrite to be fitted either with any pistol-class weapon with the Compact upgrade, or one of several modules for improving melee mechadendrite attacks. Each upgrade may either contain the ranged option listed above, or add one of the following qualities to the characters melee mechadendrite attacks: Balanced, Proven(+1), Flexible, Razor-Sharp, Shocking, Tearing, Crippling(+1).
Base mechadendrites and upgrades are all Very Rare. Upgrades must be acquired separately from mechadendrites and each other.

I want to be able to change the workflow state referenced by a milestone via scripting. The WikiHelp seems to suggest this is possible but I have not been able to get it to work. My script is as follows;
item.milestones[0].setWorkflowState('[99] Cancelled');
The Wikihelp states the following;
Methods on the Milestones Array
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by dkeeley. See the answer in context.
Hi Joe,
Thanks for the reply.
I just want tp be crystal clear about this incase I've misunderstood something;
A milestone has the following properties;
1 Workflow State
2 Milestone event
3 Target Date
4 Status
5 Warning Days before
6 Workflow progress
So if I understand you correctly the following statements are correct??
a> Properties 1 to 6 can be set on creation via a script.
b> Properties 2 to 6 can be edited via a script. Property 1 cannot.
c> A milestone cannot be deleted via scripting.
is it possible to change a milstone date after it has been created using scripting?
Workflow states dictate milestones, not the other way around. You can have a workflow state create or adjust a milestone, or look at a milestone for a condition of validation, but you cannot have a milestone adjust a workflow state.
Also yes you can adjust a milestone date via scripting after the milestone is created, if you know the name of the milestone your trying to affect.
Hi Joe,
Thanks for the reply. So if I understand you correctly it is not possible to change the workflow state asscoiated to an existing milestone via scripting?
There isn't a way for a script to start based on when a milestone changes. Scripts only work on workflow changes or item creation / change.
I think we have our wires crossed. The script is executed by a workspace behaviour (edit). All I want to do is change the workflow state referenced by the milestone at that point.
Does that clear things up?
If you are trying to change the workflow step based on a milestone. Then you are looking at an 'if' or 'case' statement and using:
item.performWorkflowTransition(transID, 'comments')
Hi Joe,
I think we still have our wires crossed ;-)
I'll PM you to discuss further.
Hi Joe,
I have tried to illustrate what I am trying to do on the attached document. Please let me know if this sheds any light.
Based on what your showing all you can do at that point is set the "Closed" milestone to completed at 100% and create a new milestone for "Cancel".
You cannot change one milestone for another or delete and replace the milestone by scripting.

Wiggington – The Best Second Base Power Hitter
That's one of the surprising facts so far of the 2010 season. Last year Ty Wigginton hit 11 home runs, but on yesterday he surpassed that total. What is perhaps more surprising is that Kelly Johnson, who hit just 8 last year himself, is just one behind the pace Wingginton is setting at second base. The Orioles current second baseman is on pace for 53 home runs. Wigginton has always had a little pop as he averaged 23 home runs a season from 2006-2008, but despite all that power Wigginton has never really cut it as an everyday guy even in those peak years he only got over 450 at-bats once. Last year it appeared that the then 31 year old had was ready to regress hitting only 11.
Now with Brian Roberts on the DL, Wigginton has gotten called upon in 33 of 37 team games and is making the most of regular at-bats. He can't continue to hit for as much power as he has so far because he simply isn't this good, but regular at-bats should lead to a career high even if he cools considerably. Going by his numbers since 2006, Wigginton hits a home run once every 20 at-bats. If we assume he gets 375 at-bats from here on out (3 at-bats per game) that means he will hit 30 home runs on the season. That's a threshold that only Chase Utley, Dan Uggla, and Ian Kinsler have crossed among second basemen in the last two seasons.
While the perceived inevitable drop off of Wigginton will likely kill any possibility of selling high on him, he isn't a bad player to keep around given that we can only expect him to match his recent averages from here on out. A sudden 80 at-bat home run drought is not the biggest worry with this guy, but a potential trade which changes his roll or the reemergence of Roberts could be an issue down the road.
- Lots of closer news to get to. Huston Street's road to recovery has been longer than route 95. He threw five pitches in a Double A rehab assignment yesterday. Meanwhile Manny Corpas saved a game for the Rockies in a doubleheader. Corpas was terrible against Philadelphia earlier in the week, but still has a respectable 2.84 ERA and 2:1 strikeout to walk rate on the year.
- Corpas wasn't the only player getting his first save of the year as Jose Contreras took the bull by the horns in the 9th for his first career save. Brad Lidge was placed on the 15-day DL, so Contreras finds himself being more wanted than he was after the winter meetings of 2002. Also getting his first save of the year was Matt Thornton. Bobby Jenks is no longer the "full-time" closer, but if it was a 100% demotion Thornton's value would skyrocket. He has a 26 to 3 strikeout to walk rate to date.
- Francisco Cordero, Brian Wilson, Octavio Dotel and Leo Nunez all struggled their way to saves.
- Pat Burrell's days in Tampa Bay ended yesterday. Burrell had more strikeouts than games played as a Ray despite appearing as a pinch hitter multiple times. Imagine how good Tampa Bay would be right now if they had put that money to good use. Willy Taveras was also let go by the Nationals.
- Jay Bruce was caught stealing for the first time in four attempts yesterday. Bruce has been set in motion a few other times this season which is interesting because he only stole 3 bases in 6 attempts last year. Getting double digit steals on top of his eventual 40 homer potential is gravy.
- Mike Leake is 4-0 and outlasted Adam Wainwright yesterday. Leake is an impressive pitcher in the same sense that Greg Maddux was an impressive pitcher. For such a young guy Leake has an excellent understanding of how to get hitters out. He would have gone 7 innings had he not come up to bat with ducks on the pond in the 6th inning.
- Ronny Paulino's role has changed with John Baker going to the disabled list. Paulino is usually used to face lefties, but will now be the every day catcher. He is hitting .226 against righties this season and hit .250 against them last year.

The press has a Lehman problem.
We've suspected as much for a while now, but only steeled ourselves to trace its outline after we came across an unfortunate New York magazine cover story in early December on former Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld.
We have a two-pronged argument here. On the one hand, the New York story was particularly bad, because we know enough about Fuld that to portray him as a victim, which the piece does, is just plain uninformed. But that said, the New York story also reflects still-existing gaps in broader press coverage of Lehman, and it would be unfair to expect New York magazine to give us the kind of quality coverage that financial mainstays, even The Wall Street Journal, which has led on Lehman, have had a hard time producing.
And this last point is the one we care about most. If the press had given us a more broadly contextual narrative of the financial crisis—see Dean Starkman's "Boiler Room" piece for more on that—it wouldn't be nearly so easy for New York either to isolate Fuld from the larger story of financial collapse or to let him off the hook.
The fact is, coverage of the financial crisis over the past several months has demonstrated two frequent failings: first, and most importantly, a narrowness of scope that leads reporters to obsess over esoteric financial details without conveying their broader significance—which in turn leads to a focus on the wrongs against investors as opposed to those against borrowers; and second, a belief in the usefulness of approaching the financial crisis through profiles of CEOs and policymakers, which inflates the importance of individuals —as opposed to calling attention to the system over which they presided. To add reader-insult to reader-injury, those individuals are too often let off the hook for the things they did do.
The latter tendency is especially a problem in magazines, and New York gave us a particularly blatant example of both flaws in its cover piece.
We'll take you through that now, so you see the kind of problems we are talking about, before wading into the broader coverage.
We'll start, as any reader would, with the cover itself:
The horns photoshopped onto Fuld's head pretty much indicate that problems are to come. After all, nothing quite undercuts criticism like overstatement. And the crux of the article's argument bears out that initial concern. First we get a synopsis of the conventional wisdom:
Fuld is blamed for betting the farm on the way up, then stubbornly refusing to recognize the company's dire straits on the way down.
And then the stroke of counter-intuition—the bread-and-butter of magazine journalism—to drive the piece forward:
But Fuld is also in some sense a victim.
If you are wondering how, as any sensible person would, read on:
He'd held on to 10 million shares of Lehman stock until the end and lost almost $1 billion—'He drank the Kool-Aid,' said one executive. And consensus grows that the Lehman fall was one of Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's and Fed chairman Ben Bernanke's biggest mistakes, amplifying the crisis exponentially. These days, Fuld goes to his office in the Time & Life Building—he's still nominally the CEO of Lehman—and talks on the phone to a few former colleagues, those he'd been close to for years, replaying the final months of the firm. They often work one another to the edge of rage trying to decipher 'the mystery,' as Fuld still thinks of Lehman's collapse. Why didn't the government save Lehman the way it saved so many others, Bear Stearns and AIG and, just last week, Citigroup? Fuld and his allies can't help but blame Paulson, whom he'd trusted and, until the end, viewed as an ally and even a friend. Yet Paulson, for reasons Fuld doesn't yet understand, participated in making him the scapegoat. 'He feels betrayed,' said one friend.
Wait, Fuld feels betrayed? What kind of Alice-in-Wonderland world is this? Fuld didn't just drink the subprime Kool-Aid, but mixed the stuff up and passed it around. The problem is, once one understands Fuld's role as a vital cog in the system, which is pretty much undeniable (we'll get to that in a moment), the article's entire argument falls apart.
First of all, Fuld can't be the "victim" of an institutional collapse he himself brought on—especially not, as NY mag notes, while wandering through his Greenwich, Conn., house (one of five) with "twenty rooms, eight bedrooms, the poolhouse, tennis court squash court." There are indeed victims here, but Fuld is not one.

INSIDER: Auburn will take advantage of new SEC rule to entertain recruits at Georgia Dome
- VIDEO: What's the best and worst part of the recruiting process? We asked Robert Nkemdiche, Brice Ramsey, Tyren Jones and others in the below video
Auburn will take advantage of a new SEC rule to entertain some of the nation's top college football prospects at Saturday's Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game.
Reuben Foster, Montravius Adams, AJ Jackson and Trey Johnson are among the celebrity recruits who confirmed with the AJC that they will make an unofficial visit with Auburn to the Georgia Dome on Saturday.
Last spring, the SEC passed league rules that finally gave permission to the home team of a game at a neutral site to entertain prospective student-athletes. It was already permitted by the NCAA. Auburn, which traditionally recruits the Atlanta area as well as any out-of-state school, has immediately taken advantage of the new rule as Saturday's home team versus Clemson.
"It's really neat [to be able to bring in recruits], to be honest with you," Auburn coach Gene Chizik said. "I think obviously, to be able to come to a venue of this sort is really going to be neat for the guys that choose to come. We're excited. We think it's going to be a great game to watch for any spectator, certainly any recruit. So we're looking forward to it."
Foster is the 5-star linebacker who transferred from Troup to Auburn High School for his senior season and is committed to Auburn. Adams, who is from Dooly County, is ranked as the nation's No. 1 defensive tackle by several recruiting services and has both Auburn and Clemson among his leaders. Johnson is from Central Gwinnett High School, may be the state's top prospect at linebacker after Foster's transfer, is committed to Auburn but plans to visit other schools. Lovejoy tight end AJ Jackson has also stated his intention to sign with Auburn. Kell defensive back Brendan Langley, who is pledged to South Carolina, also told the AJC he may go on Saturday.
What about Friday night's game at the Georgia Dome? NC State is the home team against Tennessee but has decided not to invite recruits. Said NC State spokesperson Annabelle Myers, "Coach … said that the kids they would invite are playing [in high school games] on Friday night."
To the surprise of many, UGA decided not to take advantage of the new SEC rule to bring in recruits for its annual showdown with Florida in Jacksonville, Fla. UGA athletic director Greg McGarity said it was due to logistical concerns, including the availability of tickets. The state of Florida produces nearly double the amount of D1 recruits as Georgia, and the Bulldogs have a strong presence in the talent-rich state. It is being viewed in some recruiting circles as a gigantic missed opportunity by the Bulldogs. It is difficult for many Florida recruits to make it to UGA for a Saturday game because of the lengthy travel.
Most other SEC schools are expected to take advantage of the new legislation.
WHO IS THE STATE'S BEST DEFENDER? UGA-bound offensive lineman Brandon Kublanow of Walton High School has squared off against most of the state's top defensive prospects over the last year, and ranks 5-star linebacker Reuben Foster as the best. "He's an animal," Kublanow said. The rest of Kublanow's top five? In order, Foster and then DE Montravius Adams (undecided), both ahead of Grayson DE Robert Nkemdiche (committed to Clemson) at No. 3. "Robert is pretty good, but I think Reuben and Montravius are better." Kublanow's former teammate at Walton High School, DE Koty Allen (signed with The Citadel last season) is at No. 4, with probably Brookwood DE Shaun McGee (committed to UGA) rounding out the shortlist. Kublanow and McGee battled in last Saturday's Corky Kell Classic at the Georgia Dome, which was won by Walton. "I think Shaun will be a great player at Georgia," Kublanow said of his future teammate. "He's got good size, and great speed on the edge." Kublanow said another elite defender may crack the top five when he plays against Auburn 5-star DE Carl Lawson of Milton later this season.
RING, RING, RING FOR EX-FLORIDA RECRUIT: Since offensive lineman Joshua Outlaw de-committed from Florida a couple of weeks ago, the 6-4, 290-pounder has been contacted by FSU, Clemson, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miami and Vanderbilt. Outlaw broke it off with the Gators because he wanted to visit other schools and Will Muschamp did not approve. "I'm definitely satisfied where things stand now," Outlaw told the AJC on Tuesday night. "It feels good to have things clear cut and open. This allows me to fully explore my opportunities." Outlaw hasn't had any contact with Florida since de-committing, but says they're still in the running. He would also like to hear from LSU, USC, Oregon and UGA.
FLORIDA RECRUIT WILL VISIT OTHER SCHOOLS: Carver-Columbus WR Marqui Hawkins said he is a "solid" commit to the Florida Gators but will visit other schools. He said he will definitely take official visits to Tennessee and North Carolina, and maybe Clemson and Auburn. What about Florida fans worried about the trips? "I mean, they ain't got nothing to worry about," Hawkins said. "I just want to experience some other things, do things on my free time, and get out of Columbus. My commitment is solid to Florida. I'm not going to de-commit. I'm just visiting other places. I'm not going to change my commitment." The 6-3, 208-pound Hawkins missed Carver's season-opener with a bruised collarbone. While elevating for a ball in practice, Hawkins got flipped and landed on his shoulder. "I was out for five weeks; the doctors released me, so I will be playing this Friday," Hawkins said.
QB SCORES SKYMILE POINTS: Juwaan Williams, who was QB on Tucker's state championship team last year, has finalized three of his official visits: He will go to Notre Dame on Sept. 22 for the Michigan game, to Oregon on Oct. 6 for the Washington game, and to Clemson on Oct. 20 for the Virginia Tech game. He's in the process of setting up a recruiting trip to Florida State, while Vanderbilt has asked for him to wait until January. Every school is recruiting Williams at wide receiver except for Clemson, which projects him at DB. "At first, I was a little hesitant about DB. But when I started to talk it over with my coaches at Tucker, they said I was a versatile guy and could play corner at the next level."
THE FOOT IN FOOTBALL: East Paulding's Kamani Thomas, one of the state's top running backs, said colleges are anxious to evaluate his senior film. The 5-9, 195-pounder missed 5-6 games as a junior with turf toe. "They want to see what I look like when I'm feeling 100 percent, which I am now," Thomas said. "My foot is healthy." Thomas said he has offers from Vanderbilt, Arizona State, Ole Miss, Southern Miss, Ohio, Troy, Middle Tennessee State, South Alabama and Southern Miss.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Editors' note: This review is part of our 2010 retail laptop and desktop back-to-school roundup, covering specific fixed configurations of popular systems that can be found in retail stores.
Dell makes basic mainstream laptops about as well as anyone in the industry, and the company's line of Mini-branded Netbooks--a moniker also used by HP and others--is a typically workman-like example of the genre.
However, in the very competitive Netbook landscape, being merely workman-like isn't really enough any more, and this specific fixed-configuration retail version, the Dell Inspiron Mini iM1012-1091OBK, feels too much like the previous generation of systems with a dated design and awkward touch pad. That said, it does bring one important new feature to the table--this is the first Netbook we've seen with a WiMax antenna built in.
Now, whether spending the extra $100 for a WiMax antenna is worth it depends on your need for faster-than-3G Web surfing speeds, as well as where you plan to take your Netbook. WiMax, like all 4G networks, is currently only available in select small to midsize markets, such as Salt Lake City and Baltimore. Clearwire, the service provider for this specific model, doesn't offer service in New York City, for example. As Clearwire's WiMax service costs between $40 and $55 per month, comparable to a 3G data plan, it's important to make sure you'll be able to get service where you are.
As a bonus, this Dell Mini 10 also has the best battery life in our current roundup of back-to-school retail Netbooks. But if you don't need (or can't use) the WiMax capability, systems such as the Asus Eee PC 1018 cost less and have better designs, while still offering more than enough battery life.
Price as reviewed | $399 |
Processor | 1.6GHz Intel Atom N450 |
Memory | 1GB DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz |
Hard drive | 250GB 5,400rpm |
Chipset | Intel NM10 |
Graphics | Intel GMA 3150 (integrated) |
Operating system | Windows 7 Starter |
Dimensions (WD) | 10.5x7.8 inches |
Height | 1.3 inches |
Screen size (diagonal) | 10.1 inches |
System weight / Weight with AC adapter | 3.0/3.4 pounds |
Category | Netbook |
Dell's design for this Netbook is probably the least interesting of the four retail Netbooks in our 2010 back-to-school roundup. It's essentially the same basic glossy black system with a set-in rear hinge that we've seen in the previous few generations of the Mini 10. By way of contrast, the redesigned Asus Eee PC 1018 is slimmer and has a brushed metal lid; while the Samsung N150 and HP Mini 210-1199DX both have distinctive graphical designs.
Still, we like the general keyboard layout, and the Shift, Tab, and other important keys get the full-size (relative to the rest of the keyboard) treatment they deserve. In many other Netbooks, the island-style keys are spaced somewhat widely apart--here they're more tightly packed at the base of each key, with a slight taper leading up to the flat key face.
The Dell's touch pad is wide but short, resembling the elongated pad found on older HP Netbooks. There's a reason we don't see too many of these wide touch pads any more--they're a hassle to use, especially when scrolling up and down long Web pages. The bottom left and right corners of the touch pad act as mouse buttons, leaving even less surface area for navigation.
The system, like many current Dells, has a Mac-like software dock that defaults to the top edge of the screen. It's not a must-have, but in a cramped Netbook environment, we appreciate its easy access to networking, security, and other control panels. There's a default selection of apps it can launch, but you can add your own. Also included is a Clearwire WiMax control panel that can turn the adapter off and on (it can't be used at the same time as the Wi-Fi antenna), and connect you to the service provider.
The 10.1-inch display has the typical 1,024x600-pixel native resolution you'd find on most low-cost Netbooks. However, for $399 we'd expect to get the better 1,366x768-pixel resolution found on Netbooks in this price range, especially if that WiMax connection will be used for streaming Web video.
Dell Inspiron Mini iM1012-1091OBK | Average for category [Netbook] | |
Video | VGA | VGA |
Audio | Stereo speakers, headphone/microphone jacks | Stereo speakers, headphone/microphone jacks |
Data | 3 USB 2.0, SD card reader | 2 USB 2.0, SD card reader |
Expansion | None | None |
Networking | Ethernet, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, WiMax | Ethernet, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth |
Optical drive | None | None |
Along with standard 802.11n Wi-Fi, this model also includes the first WiMax antenna we've seen in a Netbook. Unfortunately, New York isn't wired for 4G service yet, so we haven't been able to test its faster Internet connection speeds.

I'm curious which people think is a better system for determining who picks their role first. Most people are familiar with this already, but for those who are not.
bump for great sample size
Interesting that its been entirely Pick Order supporters thus far. It's always the other way around in soloqueue.
I believe that pick order does take priority over calling. however I do not mind role calling, as players will usually call roles that they want to play as that is their best role. The problem is not Calling of roles itself, its that people think calling roles entitles them to that role, which is just not true
I believe a Rioter said that Pick Order is more correct. At least, that's what's been spread on the forums. In any case, even if we thought calling should be honored over pick order, there's no real way to enforce it. If you call a role someone can just ignore you and take the role because they get to pick before you and then you're stuck with the choice of either sticking to what you called or messing up the comp. Even though its technically the other person's fault for not talking to you about it, he's forced you into a situation where you'll look like the bad guy if you do pick what you called. Obviously like you said talking it out would be better, but people are just going to pick what they want. Pick order is coded into the game and let's them do so and there's not really anything we can say against it.
Oh look we have two opinions now. I hope they will comment so we can get some friendly discussion going in here.
You should never "call" a role. Inform your team that you would like to play a certain role. If you get that role, great! If not, play what is needed.
Neither, pick whatever you like and carry your team like a viking.

That said, Marshall seems to be blazing a unique middle ground between "citizen journalism" and true investigative reporting, while not buying in to some of the more robust claims by some in the blogosphere (particularly on the right) that this "new journalism" is crushing traditional news-gathering operations. In fact, if it weren't for reporters at smaller newspapers around the country raising alarms in the first place, the story would likely have died a quiet death.
As someone who spent years inside the world of traditional print reporting, Marshall knows that the resources newspapers and magazines can bring to a story still dwarf what he and his team can do. "To the extent that we're competing head to head with the Post and the Times," he says, "we're gonna get creamed." But the U.S. Attorney story is a case where his operation was able to run with a story in a way that the big newsrooms can't, or won't. "Obviously, they've got hundreds of reporters and we've got two or three," he says, but now that the story has blown up, the big boys with the stocked newsrooms are going to be getting the lion's share of the major scoops. And on some level, that's just fine with Marshall. "This is sort of the nature of our role in the journalistic ecosystem," he says. "Once a story catches fire, the big players are going to start getting the big scoops…and we think that's great because we think we've played a big role in breaking the story in the first place."
The most important part in keeping on top of the U.S. Attorney story while the mainstream media dragged its heels comes from the relationship bloggers have with their readers, one which mainstream reporters don't have. Marshall says that while readers send in relevant articles from local papers and news broadcasts, he and his staff don't accept everything at face value, and fact check it just like any news organization would. Where TPM benefits in the initial fact-gathering process is that the blog, like most blogs, has a more intimate relationship with its readers, who send in tips. "We have a readership of about 100,000 people," he says, "and that means that in any city around the country we've got a bunch of readers who are reading the local papers. So we'll often find out if something happens that's only reported in some small paper — we basically have an intelligence gathering service that mainstream reporters don't have because they don't have the same kind of relationship with their readers."
Obviously, sites like TPMuckraker are few and far between, since most bloggers don't have the time and resources to spend all day reporting and checking out stories. But in a way, this model of reporting is a great example of straddling the divide between old school shoe-leather reporting and the more aggregate method of Web reporting. And with the U.S. Attorney story at least, TPM's staff was able to weave the disparate strands of information into a coherent whole — well before most, if not all, of the big D.C. newsrooms. Just ask Jay Carney.

Transfer Voice Memos from iPhone to Computer or iTunes
Nov 18,2012 18:27 pm /
Posted by Fitch to iOS Topics
Follow @Fitcheditor
What Advantage does Voice Memos Bring to Us
There are many applications on iPhone device can help people make arrangements such as scheduling, meeting, one of the bigger changes we've noticed is that Apple has integrated a built-in digital voice memos recorder in the iPhone device. Functionality-wise; you will find it extremely useful to have a voice recorder in your pocket, however, creating good quality voice memos can bring in much convenience in people's life and work. For some cases:
---> Leave yourself a quickie reminder when you're attending a lecture or job interview.
---> You may want to share with others the good professor's wacky theories.
---> You may need to create quick shopping lists, communications with co-workers
---> You just want hope to record the mileage for work or business meeting
---> You can record important memos or mileage logs while driving without distracted by someone
---> There will be many reasons ...
What are the Benefits of Exporting Voice Memos to Computer or iTunes?
Voice memos is really an excellent application built in iPhone device that make it possible to capture your random thoughts or musings with internal microphone, then encode it as audio files automatically, but most commonly concerned issue is how can backup a larger number of voice files, as we know a large sum of voice memos will take too much storage space in your iPhone, This is not the result we're looking for. The best solution currently available that fulfills the requirements is a "transfer iPhone voice memos to computer or iTunes".
- A lot of Voice files will take up iPhone storage and you don't want to delete these valuable files.
- It will be a quick and convenient way to share your voice memos once you backup to computer
- Keep it in a secure place to avoid losing when you failed to jailbreak or drop your iPhone.
Can I Copy Voice Memos from iPhone 4/4s/5 to Computer or iTunes Library
If you took the creative effort to create useful voice memos for your thoughts or other things, but you don't need it for the time being, it is highly suggested to backup your voice memos to your computer or iTunes for further use, a lot of people say that the method was too confusing, many people must be familiar with a time-consuming method – send them through E-mail, however, it will make your iPhone crashed and take times if you send large size voice memos.
A less familiar method is to use iPhone/iPod/iPad Transfer app, (iPhone Transfer for Mac) which can make it easy to download your voice from iPhone device to computer hard drive or iTunes library directly without losing any original data. Not so, it also provides more features that allow you to save all iPhone data to your local hard drive including: music, movie, photos, contacts, SMS and more…The goal of following steps is to learn as much as possible about the application.
Install the App and Connect iPhone Device to Computer
Assume that it has been installed smoothly on your computer, and then plug your iPhone to your computer via USB; the application will recognize it automatically and display its detailed information on the right interface. In the meanwhile, the program will automatically scan your iPhone for data on it and the all of your iPhone data will listed through more intuitive way. This make for a pleasant user experience, easy to use.
Select the Voice Memos File or Other Categories
As you can see below, all the files that stored on your iPhone will be showed with details (Time, Artist, Album, Name and more...) if you need to export your voice memos, just click it selectively; you're allowed to export all of your Voice memos by clicking the catalogue on the left. PS: this program has added the new feature "Search" in the latest update; it can help you quickly find a desired voice, so convenient!
Export to Hard Drive or iTunes as You Need
Check the wanted Voice memos or select all of them in the left list, click "Export" button at the top of the interface, and specify the target folder to save your file. You will be asked to specify where the output is saved in the popping-up dialog box, two options are available for you, and you can export to Computer Hard drive or iTunes library.
One last word:
With the advent of incomparable iPhone device and constant updates features, there are arguably many more non-tech users were confused by its features and data copying. For the feature of voice memos, the ability to record voice memos on the iPhone is a frequently overlooked feature since this is really very easy to achieve, but the ability to copy voice memos from iPhone 4/4s/5 to iTunes or computer is frequently asked for both tech users and non-tech users, so the purpose of this article is to introduce an quick and safe approach (iPhone/iPod/iPad Transfer) for you to save your time. If you are Mac user, Vibosoft Studio also released Mac version: (iPhone to Mac Transfer) program.

One of the best tests of a great teacher is to ask what they find most rewarding about their jobs. The answers may vary, but they will invariably shift the focus from the teacher to the student.

Report On Execution By Hungry Dogs Is False
Wednesday, January 8, 2014
(Hong Kong) -- A story that reported the uncle of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un was executed using wild dogs is apparently false. A Chinese newspaper originally reported that the 30-year-old communist leader had his uncle killed in a public execution that used wild dogs. However, the story actually appears to be a satirical post on a Chinese blog that was used as the source. The blog said Kim ordered his uncle and five of his close aides to be stripped naked and thrown into a cage to be eaten alive by a pack of more than 100 hungry dogs. The story gained worldwide attention and painted Kim as even more brutal than previously believed.

I've been completely blown away by your response to my recent article, facebook and twitter campaign, suggesting that you should go and look at Andy Bailey's new free video series "How to Get People to Notice You on the Internet"
If Andy Bailey's stats are to be believed then I have managed to persuade more people to go and look at that in the past week, than I have persuaded to visit the rest of Motivating Mum in the past month. Maybe I should take this as a hint……
I have to say though that the videos are excellent, and I can't believe that they are free – I would gladly have paid for them. I have learned a lot from them, and those of you that have come back to comment on twitter and elsewhere have all said that you have enjoyed them too. You must have done because you have spread the word for me – thank you so much for that.
Of course Andy Bailey hasn't put out these excellent videos just for the sake of his health, nor is it total philanthropy – he wants to draw attention to the release of his excellent CommentLuv Premium plugin.
It is perfectly possible to view the videos and not buy the plugin, but I stand by my original decision to promote these videos even with the product attached – because I believe it is the best WordPress plug in I have, bar none. You can read my original review of Commentluv premium here.
The latest news is that the Commentluv Premium launch started on Wednesday 16th November. It is being sold at a special price until November 30th, with a whole pile of attached freebies – so if you are even remotely interested in having this plugin on your WordPress blog then grab it now.
So, seeing as so many of my readers are interested in Andy Bailey, his videos and his plugins, I have decided to give away a free copy of Commentluv Premium, or rather, I will reimburse to one of my readers, the purchase price that Andy Bailey announces on Wednesday.
If you would like to be in with a chance to have your purchase price reimbursed, please leave your name and email address:
Then when you have purchased and installed your copy of Commentluv Premium, please come back and leave a comment on this post with a link to your site. That way we can get to know each other better.
On 30th November, I will pick one subscriber who has left a comment, and will reimburse to them the sum that Andy Bailey picks for the launch price of Commentluv Premium on Wednesday.
Please note, I am not insisting that you buy your copy of Commentluv Premium using my affiliate links, although it would be nice. If you are already signed up with one of the other affiliates – and even if you have entered their competitions and giveaways too, that is fine by me. I don't even mind, if, like me, you have already installed Commentluv Premium. As long as it is on your site on 30th November and you have left me your email and a friendly comment, then you are in. If you leave your twitter name then I will follow you too, and visit your blog.
I just want to get to know a large community of fellow Commentluvvers, because I think that community is what this plugin is all about.

Gun ban in college buildings?: Boulder rep plans legislation despite court ruling
In addition to possible gun-related accidents, Levy argues that the high rate of suicide among the college demographic is another reason why she will be making this legislative push.
"Statistics show that you are so much more likely to [commit suicide]...when there are firearms that are available," she says, adding that college is a time when new mental illnesses might start to emerge, including bipolar disorder, depression and schizophrenia.
"I could go on and on," she says.
Students for Concealed Carry, a national organization that successfully brought the case to the state Supreme Court that resulted in new orders to allow guns on campus, argues that a ban on campus buildings constitutes discrimination -- and would also make these locations less safe.
"It is going to be 0 percent effective at reducing any crime," says SFCC public-relations director David Burnett. "It's a solution in search of a problem. This has been a successful policy." David Burnett of Students for Concealed Carry
His organization has repeatedly argued that because those with permits are licensed, go through background checks and allowed to carry guns most everywhere else, banning them from doing so in certain places constitutes discrimination. When incidents like the accidental shooting happen -- and that was the first discharge of its kind since the March ruling in Colorado -- it doesn't mean all legal gun holders should punished, the group argues.
Burnett has said that concealed carry permits increase safety on campus -- arguing in the dormitory debate that gun-free housing on campuses become vulnerable target zones for criminals.
"I'm not surprised," he says of Levy's proposal. "We always have opponents in the legislature who want to shrink our ability to protect ourselves."
He feels a ban on concealed carry equates to a rise in illegal weapons.
"All of Representative Levy's concerns boil down to one question: Do we want illegal or legal guns on campus?" he says. "I don't understand why any...representative, student or professor would oppose legal guns on campus.... [It says] they are somehow comfortable with illegal guns."
For her part, Levy says this proposal won't stop all criminals, but it will reduce the risk of shootings on campus.
"We will continue to have gun violence, unfortunately.... We're still going to have, unfortunately, random shootings," she says. "But we don't need to add to the danger...having people armed who believe they are able to respond in that situation and end up shooting innocent people or having their gun taken and used on themselves."
Ken McConnellogue, a spokesman for the University of Colorado system, says officials are not yet taking a position on Levy's proposal. But he notes that the Board of Regents has in the past been divided on the issue.
Echoing one of Levy's comments, McConnellogue says that while guns are an important societal issue, it would be preferable if this kind of policy debate did not have to be a major discussion for the Board of Regents.
"It's kind of tangential to some of the issues that we have to deal with at the university first and foremost," he says.

As the sweet scent of Natal mahogany mingles with smoke from distant brushfires, Sihole plucks a three- wood from his bag and hands it to Musopelo. "Land a ball in the middle of the pond," Sihole says, "and I'll give you a million kwacha."
Musopelo grins broadly. "If I do," he says, "and you swim out to get it, you can have the million back."
The crocs at Konkola appear to be silvery rocks on the bank until they glide into the water. The caddies call the largest Inywena. That's "big croc" in Bemba, the lingua franca of the Copperbelt. Inywena appears to be about thirteen feet from tail to snout. He would have been even longer, but something chewed a foot or two off his tail. It may have been Inywena.
Crocodiles are given to nibbling on their tails, especially when hungry. But then crocs eat practically anything. The contents of the stomach of a crocodile shot in Botswana's Okavanso Swamp in 1968 included the remains of a zebra, a donkey, two goats and the still-clothed torso of a woman who had been missing seventeen days. Adult crocs have no real natural enemies except humans, possibly because they're meaner.
Crocodiles used to polish off as many as twenty thousand Africans a year. They still average about one a week in Zambia. A single croc is said to have killed four hundred people--a croc hardly matters in Africa until it has eaten a half dozen or so. Still, despite its appetite for humans, the crocodile's chief diet at Konkola is fish and the occasional puppy.
After Inywena sinks into the drink, I slink off and order a beer, with caterpillars on the side. After a few brews, the grubs seem almost palatable. I ask barman Laswell Luhana, who has worked at Konkola since 1963, how many golfers the club has lost to crocs. "They haven't taken anyone," he reports, "though they've damaged a few." Four caddies, two thieves.
"One thief was fishing, with the police looking for him," Luhana says, "but the croc caught him." The thief made off with copper; the croc, a leg.
A few years ago, a golfer offered his caddie the equivalent of eight cents to comb a pond for an errant shot. As the caddie poked around in the murky, green water, a submerged croc chomped on his backside. Fortunately he escaped with only minor lacerations. "You forget about the crocodiles," says Nkandu, the pro at Ndola. "If you try to be a bit courageous, definitely, they come for you."

It seems like only yesterday that Intel brought us the newest member of its Pentium 4 processor family, the I875P. Intel I875P, better known to the hardware market as the Canterwood, not only brought the first official 800 MHz FSB but along with this, Intel brought its first DDR-400 memory controller supporting Dual Channel 128bit memory interface supporting a maximum 6.4GB/s bandwidth, the same bandwidth that the Pentium 4 800Mhz FSB is capable of generating. The I875P brought another feature to the party, the first Southbridge with native Serial ATA on the ICH5 and RAID support on the ICH5R.
Another feature for the 875P was the Intel Performance Acceleration Technology or PAT as it is known, which the Springdale series does not. This technology is designed to accelerate memory access by the CPU, bypassing certain memory wait states, but running this requires great frequency memory modules. The use of ECC modules is also supported to allow greater stability with PAT enabled.
While this may seem like a great step forward, these features incur a price premium. With the ICH5R Southbridge and the I875P Northbridge motherboard manufacturers pay $53US per 1000 units; this drives the costs of I875P board's right up.
Intel, not wanting to loose out to others like SiS with upcoming chipsets costing far less, and VIA's free access to the Intel Pentium 4 architecture to build chipsets, had to come up with a cheaper alternative. This led Intel to release the I865 series of chipsets, codenamed Springdale. Springdale has three variations, I865P, I865PE and I865G. Today we will look at the different variations and features common to all.
