Hey guys yesterday I bought the student version of AutoCAD Ultimate 2013. On the box I see the product code. On the actual USB I see the MFG# which represents a similar number to the product code.
However, I do not see a SERIAL number that is all numbers anywhere. I understand the product code is the first 5 digitst of the 15 digit product code. However, the Delivery number does not work as the serial. I understand I can go online and download and get a free serial and product code.
However, I installed using the USB from the box, and I DO NOT SEE ANYWHERE a serial.
So for students that buy the box from the store where is the serial supposed to be???? Thanks in advance
The student version is free. Go download and claim your serial number here:
This version of AutoCAD I got from the student store and paid 150$. What is the difference? Also there was 1 piece of paper inside the box that told me to go to www.identit-e.com/autodesk
and use my card to get my serial number. I have to send in a copy of my student id and transcript
why do i have to do all of this to get the AutoCAD Design Suite Ultimate 2013? I believe this package includes everything? But if everything is free and available for students to download
What is the difference in my version? Thanks!
they have to verify that you are indeed a student
who did you buy it from?
I understand that is a very thorough check and necessary. But if people are downloading from the website for free and I pay $150 from my computer store on campus for AutoCAD Design Suite Ultimate 2013. What am I really paying for? What is the benefit or difference from what I puchased at my campus store and what is available online?
When I installed this from the USB I installed a lot of products...Anyways would like to know the benefit of purchasing and having to register through the site when everybody can just come on to the education center download a copy and have a working serial and product number...

you would have to ask the store that question
I am a University of Houston student and bought it from http://www.cougarbyte.com/
Which is our campus' computer store...It is on campus and has student versions of everything...
the paid student license don't expire
where the free ones do
Hi Joe,
The main differences between the purchased educational suites and free student licenses via the Education Community are: suite licenses are perpetual, don't produce a watermark when publishing, and are upgradeable whereas, student licenses are termed (currently 3 years), produce watermarks on certain products, and are not upgradeable.
For a complete comparison matrix, please review this Student Suite FAQ.
well there you go that explains the difference

Ghostcrawler on the evolution of rotation complexity
There has never really been a time in the game when you could just do whatever you wanted with your class and be equally effective. Then, as now, smart players doing a lot of homework would figure out the most optimized way to play. You can choose to follow their recommendations, try to find an even more optimized way to play, or just do your own thing because that's more enjoyable for you, knowing that you may pay the price of being less optimized.
What's interesting here is the change in emphasis.
There are two separate and interesting ideas being held forth here. The first is that talent trees shouldn't be a sink-or-swim, figure-it-out-kid phenomenon. After six years, World of Warcraft isn't that game that debuted in 2004, in which the talents were there and people just had to play with them to see what they did. "The original philosophy was more, 'We'll just throw all this stuff at players and they'll figure out through trial and error how things work.'"
In essence, that original philosophy has been superseded by the past five and a half years. There are sites and resources out there that people consult to help them make talent choices and decisions anyway. Why not work this attitude into the game itself, so that through gameplay, people will start to be informed about how and why to spec their characters?
In essence, the goal here is transparency. While there will always be a need for more detailed information to help players come to grips with things, in Cataclysm, the design is intended to help fill in some of the gaps and to guide players to understand the systems and their interaction. In order to do that, the developers are thinking not just about how the talents intersect, but also how easy it is for players to see how they intersect.
I find that fascinating, but it's hardly the only tidbit to mull over from that initial post.
The idea of the design of a spec and its "allowability" based on outside factors is one worth contemplating. Of course, the discussion here is in part about whether or not diseaseless blood actually is (as is stated here) a sacrifice of threat generation. (My gut feeling is that yes, it absolutely is over the long haul, but it has much better snap threat since it's faster to get started. But Outbreak might well change the whole playing field.)
But more important is the idea that a DPS rotation might see adjustment whereas a tanking one wouldn't, because a tanking rotation is intended to be simpler and less elaborate. DPS rotations are made complex because making those choices to max your DPS is part of the gameplay, but tanking involves factors like placement, threat generation, and survivability management that are already demanding a great deal of the player's attention. In other words, making a DPS rotation more complex results in more engaging play for a DPS player, but making a tanking rotation more complex does not always reward with more fun because tanks are already stretched in more directions at once.
What this leads to is a discussion of just how much effort should the developers even be putting into this process.
You ever consider whether or not people liked the old design philosophy? I know I did, and a lot of my friends did too. It made the world much more mysterious and you got to explore your options, rather than feeling pigeon holed into a spec or rotation or whatever. Though I do realize this is fairly trivial since players will figure out what the best stats and rotation are and tell you what they are anyway, but it just feels like blizzard is late jumping on the band wagon, one that I kinda wished they hadn't jumped on.
That was my point in my post above though. That sense of exploration and discovery you are missing wasn't lost as a result of anything we did. You could make an excellent or terrible talent tree before and you can still do so now. What changed is that the community became a lot more sophisticated, which isn't that surprising in a game that's 6-years old now. These days there are numerous fansites, simulators, videos, mods and other tools, all created by the community, to optimize your gameplay. There have always been some, but there are more today, they are more sophisticated, and more players know about them.
In essence, the attempt to improve the game's design is taking into account the community that grew out of the original design philosophy. In essence, again we see a sign of an expansion that is attempting to look at what World of Warcraft has become after five years and to design itself around those elements.
The idea is that people should be able to make nominal guesses as to what their best talents will be based on the in-game experience; that deeper theorycrafting will come into play after players have learned the basics; and that this time, the game itself will be where players learn those basics of what to spec into. While the "throw them in the deep end and see if they swim" method was exciting for some and led to the creation of the community as it now exists, it was also a barrier to entry for people, because in order to really grasp talents and how to spend those points, many players really needed to go to an out-of-game source first. This change is an attempt to have design that gives players that first step through play, while still taking advantage of the work of those who will sit down and suss out optimal builds.
Likewise, the development of the talents and abilities needs to have a certain level of difficulty shared across different trees and classes. Diseaseless blood, to keep using that example, might be fine for a tank but not for DPS. Why?
The line between what you consider acceptable and what you'll nerf is often extremely blurry. For example, DK tanks used to macro rune strike into their abilities. You killed that playstyle when you decided to put Rune Stike on the GCD.
I don't disagree with that. We don't like to reflexively stomp out on creative use of game mechanics just because they were unexpected. (This is particularly true of encounters, where we will generally just accept if players come up with strategies we didn't anticipate, so long as they don't trivialize the intended challenge.)
It comes down to whether we think the playstyle violates what we are trying to do with the class.
Imagine there was a rogue build that centered around only using Deadly Throw and Fan of Knives to make an effective ranged dps class. Imagine this rotation was generally accepted to do 5% more dps than the traditional melee rogue. That's the kind of thing we would likely break. That's not because we're mean jerks. It's because we think the game might break down: rogue itemization would be in a weird place, encounters might not work with so many characters at range, most importantly those players who enjoy playing rogues because of the iconic lightly-armored melee fighter are now encouraged to play something completely different that they might not enjoy.
There are no hard and fast rules on this sort of thing. It's all judgement calls on the part of the designers.
So changes aren't made solely on the idea that something is overly potent or not. A change may occur because it makes a simple DPS rotation as effective as one that takes more effort to play, since the more complex rotation rewards skill. A change might be made because of flavor, such as the rogue spec above. No one minds rogues' doing higher DPS as long as they do it like rogues, not standing in the back using ranged attacks and generally acting like substandard hunters.
These two ideas dovetail. Players should learn at least the basics of talenting their characters by playing their characters, and changes will be made to classes and specs to keep players on track and rewarding them for mastering their classes (as in the ranged rogue example above; it's not the design goal for the class to be a ranged DPS, and any accidental discovery of talent selections that made it possible would be stamped out). All of this is aimed at a gameplay experience in which the barrier to entry is reduced, and while it will most likely always require some relearning and exploring outside sources of information, the basics are being contemplated and implemented to put some of those tools in a new player's hands as soon as he or she starts playing his chosen class.
A mention is even made of feral druids and protection paladins as classes whose tanking rotations were deliberately aimed at being more complex in Cataclysm in order to give players who master those rotations a sense of accomplishment. Rotations are about this feeling of mastery, and the design is aimed at fostering and rewarding it from an earlier point.

Video: The Detroit Pistons' Kyle Singler Hits Trick Shots Around London
Kyle Singler has shown his trick shots side in at Duke, in Detroit and now in London. The Pistons' rookie shot a new video of new trick shots (think over double-decker buses and all around the O2 Arena) for Detroit's game today against New York abroad. It's pretty good.

Got up late today. Was scared that i wasnt going to get this one. Its funny cause i am wearing the octupus shirt now. Great stuff man.
ERG! I wish this was purple or something. Just not white. I'm a messy eater.
in for 2, i like this shirt.
This shirt is amazing, I'm kicking myself for getting here so late. If anyone wants to work something out for one of these please let me know, I think it's a work of art.

This design doesn't really speak to me at all. It feels forced. I know it's not forced... I'm not claiming this is a design that was jammed into the derby or any other such nonsense... but the ideas don't melt together for me. The whole "she's in the picture and painting it" motif doesn't flow naturally for me. I guess I am just weird on this. I think it was said before many times that Alice looks too tramped up in this as well. I'd agree with that. Just seemed like an unneeded detail that detracts from the effort.
I agree with this post. I'm not jealous, I'm not an artist, but it's too derived and as a woman I'm not digging the whole whored up alice thing. I don't get these derbies, they are more of an indicator of demographic than anything else at times. Which isn't bad, but can be repetitive. I'm not 12.

Dropped down the rabbit hole for one before they sold out! [WOOT: Great description. Very amusing!] I wouldn't give this shirt to a kid! What's up with that? But I am a 'girl'. So there. Great shirt! Congrat's Cho! Sign me, Alice.

As a woman, I adore the liberated Alice, unstuffed and undone. She was a hellion...you think she wouldn't show some leg? It's all in interpretation, I suppose.

Absolutely! I agree with you! If she hadn't been feisty, she'd have given the rabbit hole a miss. Go Alice!
woot started cranking out shirts, eh
I want this shirt so bad! Reflects on how much of a l33t hookah smoker I am.
Grats, Cho! Foregone conclusion! I missed this last night because I was dead tired but I'll be buying it tomorrow. Yes, my first white shirt. Exceptions for excellence must be maintained! Now...on to Neverland!
For once shirt.woot has a shirt worth buying...... Too bad it's sold out
i would be punished quickly and harshly if my parents caught me in this shirt.
I disagree about the dressing up of Alice. She was initially made to be an attractive young girl, the author did this purposefully. I think this shirt just shows a representation of her a few years later a long the same lines. Well done cho.
Another beautiful design. Excellent work.
9:38AM sellout? WOW! I'm definitely going to vote for this if it comes around again. What an awesome design!!! Edit: I see that a lot of people are trying to pin Alice as a hooker. Well, if you think about the kind of child Alice was, it wouldn't be too far fetched to say she would be prone to rebel against her parents (since she was already rebelling, falling asleep instead of listening to her lessons, etc). Because her dress isn't classic size doesn't mean that she's a whore. She's probably in her late teens, using spray paint on the side of a wall (or a canvas) to make her vision real by utilizing art. Seriously, she's not making out with anyone or actually showing that much leg. I've seen much older women wear less than that in public.
These derby produced some popular shirts. Congrats on the sell out!
Love It. Got Mine!
You guys are making the new 1500 limit seem like child's play. Well done! Congratulations James. I'm happy to have purchased mine when I did! Yippee!

The Billings School District 2 board will meet at 6:30 p.m. Monday to elect a new chair following Chairwoman Barbara Bryan's resignation from office on Tuesday.
Bryan's resignation doesn't become official until Friday. Under state law, elected officials who step down from office have 72 hours to withdraw their resignation, which for Bryan falls on Friday.
Trustees at the meeting on Monday will declare Bryan's seat vacant, call for applicants to fill her spot and then vote for a new chairwoman or chairman.
Kathy Aragon, the board's vice chairwoman, called for transparency and collaboration as trustees meet to elect their next leader.
"I would like to move forward very openly and transparently and with full board participation," she said in a statement Wednesday. "I think it is critical that we have full participation of the board at the meeting to elect a new chair."

In the young United States, before there was a U.S. Mint, currency was a mish-mosh of foreign monies, but because the value was in the amount of valuable metal in the coin, an ounce of silver was an ounce of silver whether it was minted in Spain or in England. Transactions in specie, however, were risky unless you were certain what you were getting was truly valuable. Counterfeit coins were a significant threat, and the "shaving" of coins — the archaic reason for coin edge ridges — could mean that trusting what looks like a doubloon to be a true doubloon was difficult. The best-equipped industries of the time to detect forgeries or verify a coin's true weight were jewelers and silversmiths.
Just a few doors down from George Washington himself lived Ephraim Brasher, a silversmith and jeweler of some renown. Brasher had served in the Revolution, and after the U.S.' independence established himself as an expert on foreign coins and valuable metals. Businesses, banks, and the average citizen could (for a fee, presumably) have their coins weighed and measured by Brasher. Once Brasher confirmed the coin's value, he counter-stamped his initials into the surface of the coin for the same ends as Oriental chop-marks a century later. In the case of the coin on the left, Brasher added a small plug of gold, just enough to make the weight accurate, and placed his seal over the added gold. This particular coin was sold at auction last year for $57,500. Coins with Brasher's seal are exceedingly rare; most were likely melted and re-minted as official U.S. coins or re-cast into jewelry.
Some of this gold went into the rarest of U.S. gold coins, also at the hands of Ephiram Brasher. The infant United States had made provisions to regulate currency in the Articles of Confederation, but passed the task of minting coins on to the individual states, who themselves weren't exactly equipped to start creating money. Brasher was among the first people who signed up to mint the fledgling nation's first currency. In 1787 the state of New York was planning its initial foray into minting its own coinage, and that February, before the plan was finalized, Brasher filed his request to perform minting duties on behalf of the state. He wasn't the only interested party, but the record is inconsistent and there is a possibility that other petitioners at the same time were actually working with Brasher. New York never actually produced any coins of its own before the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1789, which established a national Mint, and it looked like Brasher would never produce U.S. coins.
Brasher, however, did mint several coins for unknown purposes. In 1838, among coins sent to the U.S. Mint to be assayed, melted, and re-minted, a gold coin was caught by a sharp-eyed worker who recognized its unique character. The coin matched the Spanish doubloon in size and weight, but bore the image of a Federal-style eagle, clutching arrows and an olive branch, surrounded by the words "Unum E Pluribus," and dated 1787. The obverse declared it a coin of the state of New York, with the coin's originator's name near the center: Brasher. The reverse was also stamped with Brasher's "EB" seal of quality. Nobody knows for certain why Brasher produced any coins, let alone a highly valuable gold coin, but the most likely answer is that the Brasher's Doubloons were minted as examples of his handiwork for review by the state of New York, to prove his expert capability to produce coins within the requirements of the state and the nation. After the first of Brasher's Doubloons was discovered, only a literal handful of others have been discovered. Of the seven known examples, six have the "EB" counterstamp on the eagle's upper-left wing, but one has the counterstamp dead-center on the eagle's chest, making it more rare than its sisters.
The center-stamped doubloon, surprisingly, is not the rarest of Brasher's gold coins. In the Smithsonian's Numismatic Collection lives the rarest of U.S. gold coins: Brasher's Half-Doubloon. At first glance, the edges which bear the "Unum E Pluribus" and the New York text appear cut off, as though the coin had once been a regular Doubloon but shaved for its gold. Experts have examined this coin and believe no shaving occurred. It was struck using the same Doubloon dies as the other five, but using a planchet disk of gold equal in value to a half-doubloon, like the quarter/dime planchet error, but was done intentionally to produce a fractional coin similar to the full doubloon. The half-doubloon has not been sold during modern times, and on account of its extreme rarity could be considered priceless. The rarest of the seven Doubloons, the "EB-on-breast", was sold in 2005 for $2.99 million — at the same time as one of the six "EB-on-wing" doubloons, which took $2.415 million. Prices like that make people pretty excited when they think they've found the eighth Brasher's Doubloon. Sadly, Brasher's Doubloon replicas have been produced since the 1860s as collectible souvenirs, and most are not worth much. Don't completely discount a replica, though; some have been minted in real gold, making them worth thousands, and the 19th-century replicas have a certain value of their own due to their age and rarity. None of the replicas are rare enough to make them worth millions, though — that takes a special coin, one of precious metals and minted for uncertain purposes during the formative years of our country by Ephraim Brasher.

This spray-on toner is very expensive for what you get, both in terms of the amount of product and the lackluster formula. It is disappointing that a dermatologist is behind this product, which claims to detoxify skin and provide a "sanitizing shield" against free radicals. First (and this is the question we always ask), what toxins are lurking in the skin that need to be pulled out? And how can the very ordinary ingredients in this toner do that? We never get a satisfactory answer, because in truth there are no toxins that need to be expunged. Your body does a very good job of eliminating toxins without the help of so-called "detoxifying" skin-care products.
As for the claimed "sanitizing shield to protect against free radicals," it's impossible. First, free radicals aren't dirty, so the sanitizing claim is nonsense. Free radicals are all around us, including in the air we breathe, and as a by-product of the normal processes in our bodies that keep us alive. You cannot completely shield your skin from free radicals, although there's a lot you can do to minimize exposure and reduce the amount of damage they cause. Unfortunately, using this toner isn't one of them.
Hydra-Pure is mostly water with witch hazel, which is a skin irritant. There is so little of redeeming value in this toner that it really isn't even worth writing about, other than to state that you should just leave it on the shelf. Please see our list of Best Toners for options loaded with ingredients that can help your skin defend itself from free-radical damage (notice that we didn't write "completely shield").
The only detoxifying formula that combines hydrating and anti-aging properties in a sanitizing shield to protect against free radicals. De-stress irritated skin with this nourishing, soothing and refreshing formula that contains Tea Tree and Peppermint essential oils. It immediately protects and improves skin texture.
Purified Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Bark/Leaf/Twig Extract, Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Alcohol, Epilobium Angustifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Phytic Acid, Saccharide Isomerate, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate
As you may have gleaned from the name, dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross created this skin-care line. Based in New York City, he claims that all of his products provide "maximum results without side effects," a statement any doctor should know better than to make. For instance, a consumer would logically assume, especially coming from a doctor, that "maximum results" means the products in question really will firm, lift, tighten, plump, or peel the skin. But Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare products don't provide maximum results, not in the least, and definitely not in any of the ways suggested by the marketing copy. In fact, although Gross includes some very impressive ingredients in his products, they cannot make good on the most enticing claims he makes for them.
As for the promise of "no side effects," that is easily refuted with a simple overview of his underachieving products. A quick summary: lavender oil can cause skin-cell death, sulfur is extremely irritating and drying to skin, ascorbic acid can be sensitizing, as can retinol, and the synthetic active sunscreen agents he uses can also present their share of problems. That's not to say that all of these ingredients are bad for skin (only the sulfur and lavender oil qualify for that description), but it's foolish to make a blanket statement that your cosmeceutical-type products are free of side effects. How could he possibly know what a person may react to?
Gross also asserts that he uses cutting-edge technology in his products, a point which I concede given the number of superior moisturizers and serums he offers, all of which compete nicely with other well-formulated products. His products are expensive, but if you're going to spend a lot of money on skin-care products, you should be purchasing state-of-the-art formulas, and these do rate. Of course, this technology (read: efficacious ingredients) doesn't extend to every Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare product, but overall this is one line whose formulas have improved considerably since the previous edition of this book, and that is excellent news!
Several of the products in this line contain emu oil. While there is research indicating that emu oil is a good emollient that can help heal skin, it is not that different from other oils that offer the same benefit, such as grape or olive or even mineral oil for that matter (Source: Australasian Journal of Dermatology, August 1996, pages 159–161).
Last, please ignore the tired claim that these products are your alternative to surgical procedures and that they use medical-grade ingredients. Concerning the latter, there is no such thing; Gross uses the same cosmetic and over-the-counter active ingredients found throughout the cosmetics industry. And although his line offers some remarkable products, none of them can provide results equivalent to Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, or laser treatments (and definitely not a face-lift).
Note: Unless mentioned otherwise, all MD Skincare products are fragrance-free.

"This is amazing. I usually make it without the first stage frying. We don't get General Tso's chicken in the UK, but my partner thinks this is better than what he's tried in the States. Thanks so much!"
"This was gorgeous. I made it with less chile because we don't like things too spicy, and I had to omit the lime leaf since I couldn't get them here. Otherwise, It was very good even with those minor changes. Update: I've made this so many times now. I've found that using palm sugar instead of brown sugar helps give it a more authentic flavor."
"I do this the same way, more or less, except that I tend to let the meat cool a bit and shred by hand. Chicken in soups is always better shredded to me, because it sxeems more like home cooking. :-)"
"This was very nice. I did need to cover it while cooking because it was getting far too dark. Perhaps my balsamic vinegar wasn't high enough quality, but this was still pretty sour after cooking without any hint of sweetness. To help counteract that, I drizzled each chicken breast with store-bought sweet balsamic syrup prior to serv ing, which ..."
"Perfect! I used unsalted butter, and now I have a jar of wonderfully fragrant ghee in my fridge. I did burn myself through my own stupidity, so let that be a warning to all to be careful of the hot butter!"
"This is the same recipe I use. Quick, easy, and very good."
"This is the same recipe as the one I have. I always make it with marble cake mix. Yum!"
"These were fabulous. People asked for the recipe after, and my leek-hating partner ate it without any of his usual complaints! The stock really took away what greasiness the butter may give, and the thyme really made the dish. I used a bit more pepper because I like it so much. When I served these, I used a slotted spoon, but plenty of the liq..."
"According to my partner, this turned a "great" meal into a "perfect" meal. This was so easy to make (mix the flour with the melted butter before the other ingredients to avoid flour lumps). I have a feeling this will become a staple side dish in my household. It was even tasty the next morning for breakfast with a little maple syrup! I may try..."

A Blizzard Survival Guide by Warmup - February 13, 2012 by Dave Mckiever
Many of you in the North East may be wondering where winter went with the unusual mild temperatures we're having right now… Well, you might want to ask people in Colorado (or even people in Europe!) how they feel as a massive snowstorm hit them last week…
A few rules apply when faced with such a snowstorm, like taking shelter, but it's even better when you have time to prepare before it hits your house and your family… Following Charles W. Bryant's path and his 10 Ways to Survive a Snowstorm, we decided to create our own little guide to survival during a blizzard:
- Protect your roof and gutters: nobody wants their gutters to collapse because of snow or ice dams! Fortunately, you can install one of our Roof & Gutter de-icing cables which can help you protect your roof from ice dams and snow buildup.
- Clear the way to your house: imagine having to shovel snow in the blizzard? No thanks! For your safety and ease of mind, use our Snow-melting cables or mats to make sure you have a clear and safe driveway or path to enter or exit your house, especially in case of emergency.
- Make sure your pipes won't freeze: The worst thing that can happen is not having potable water because of a broken pipe… Don't worry, with our Self-regulating cables, you can rest assured your pipes, whether metallic or plastic, will stay warm and never freeze.
- Insulate well: think of your house as a shield against the extreme conditions outside and make sure it is well insulated! Our insulation boards WIB insulate your house efficiently as they prevent heat loss and allow you to save energy.
Have you found this useful? Don't wait another minute then! Contact us now (1-888-927-6333) to make sure you are prepared… before another unexpected snowstorm strikes!

In addition to overseeing the shooting range, National Armory's staff leads classes that cover topics such as basic firearm-handling and meeting the requirements to become an armed security guard. Clients looking for new firearms or to upgrade often find their match in National Armory's store, where in-house weapon experts advise buyers on new and used guns and dispense ammunition.
Since 1992, Arizona Shooting Range & Emporium?s 6,000-square-foot shop has stocked firearms from established brands, such as Smith & Wesson, alongside accessories, ammunition, and cleaning supplies. To ensure customers know how to safely handle their purchases, the emporium hosts classes taught by NRA-certified instructors. Geared toward students of all experience levels, the courses focus on not only shooting fundamentals, but also other essential skills such as safely drawing and storing the weapon.
The defense experts at Pembroke Gun & Range help clients hone their aim through an array of training amenities. Beyond the range, instructors uphold NRA standards in classes, including instruction tailored specifically for women and security guards. Classes are capped at 10 students to ensure personalized instruction, and private training is also available.
It's impossible to know everything. That's why Palm Beach Shooting Center employs a multitalented team of professionals with diverse backgrounds. Whether they are performing custom gunsmithing work or helping visitors peruse retail firearms and accessories, staff members value the opportunity to share their knowledge. They impart their expertise on students during courses that provide instruction on the fundamentals of handling and maintaining firearms. Additionally, the center offers classes that qualify students to apply for a Florida concealed-carry license.
Florida Gun Center is a safe and secure space where advanced and novice visitors hone their marksmanship skills. For the latter group, staff experts teach gun-handling fundamentals and firearm safety during an array courses. Once range and class sessions wrap up, visitors browse the firearms and accessories in the center's store, which keeps a variety of pistols for law enforcement in stock.
Frank Abay is a busy man. Along with a security school and a private-investigation company, the licensed instructor now owns Miami Guns Inc. There, his guests can buy and sell firearms or practice their aim at the eight-lane, 25-yard indoor range. Visitors seeking more guided instruction can earn licenses by completing D and G classes. Miami Guns Inc. also hosts low-light pistol and self-defense-tactics courses, which include 100 rounds of ammo, range time, a certificate of completion, and a T-shirt.

Sochi 2014 unveils first Olympic logo since London 2012
LONDON - The logo for the 2014 Winter Olympics, to be held in Sochi, Russia, has been unveiled today, becoming the first Olympic emblem to feature a web address - Sochi2014.ru - as organisers target the digital generation.
The new brand was unveiled at a press conference by Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee, Dmitry Chernyshenko, president and chief executive of Sochi 2014, Dmitry Kozak, deputy prime minister of Russia, Alexander Zhukov, deputy prime minister of Russia and Jean-Claude Killy, chairman of the IOC's coordination commission for Sochi 2014.
Chernyshenko said: "We believe this is an historic day for Russia and for winter sport. Sochi 2014 has always been about being a gateway to the future and our new brand demonstrates that commitment more strongly than ever.
"To prove our commitment to innovation, Sochi 2014 will have a clearly digital Games emblem. Today, we welcome tomorrow. We are offering an invitation, an icon and an inspiration to people from across the world to celebrate the thrill of Russia's first Olympic Winter Games."
The Sochi 2014 brand was developed by brand consultancy Interbrand and an Expert Brand Council established by the Sochi 2014 organising committee. The Brand Council included leading figures from sport, branding and marketing, and the arts, with a mixture of Russian and overseas experts.
Sochi 2014 began the brand development process by surveying people from Russia and several countries around the world, gathering thousands of ideas and insights that have been used as building blocks for Sochi 2014's new brand.
London's 2012 Olympic logo caused a storm of controversy when it was unveiled by the design agency Wolff Olins in 2007. Londoners called for it to be axed, dubbing it an "embarrassment", "hideous", "childish" and "ugly".
The logo for the Winter Games has been designed to provide a clear emphasis on reaching new audiences through digital platforms.
It features the web address "sochi2014.ru", with the "Sochi" placed on top of the "2014", typographically mirroring each other, which is meant to reflect that Sochi is the meeting point between the sea and the mountains. The Olympic rings sit in their original colours beside the web address.
Commenting on the Sochi 2014 logo, Fred Burt, managing director of design agency Siegel+Gale London, said: "I'm no fan of London 2012 identity so it's a relief to see Sochi 2014 restore some sanity.
"As a logo it should work well in small sizes and next to other partner logos — key from a commercial point of view. It feels fresh and up-to-date, promising a new Russia that perhaps the wider world does not know [think how Beijing benefitted in this regard].
"I'll be interested to see how the URL plays out — has the system been designed to drop the '.ru' in certain circumstances? But I'd applaud Sochi's commitment to driving their audience to a URL, something that will allow them to control the experience much more directly.
"The typographical mirroring of the 'h/y' 's/z' and '0/o' feels clumsy, however, and undermines the symmetry of the logo. But as ever, it's the experience not the logo that will make this brand."
*Read more reviews of the logo by UK design agencies*
Rogge, IOC president, said: "The Sochi 2014 emblem will become one of the most visible and recognised marks for people of all ages from around the world over the next few years, especially as Sochi 2014 has made a conscious effort to link its brand to the digital generation.
"Thanks to the growth of social media, the Sochi brand will no doubt spread like never before through these online channels reaching the youth of the world quickly and in a format that they appreciate."
The emblem has been designed to actively encourage dialogue between Russians, nations and winter sports fans — particularly youth — through Sochi 2014's online platforms.
Sochi 2014 said the brand centres around the idea that the 2014 Winter Games will be a celebration of sporting achievement, while also providing momentum for positive change.
The Games' tagline is 'Gateway to the Future', which will be used to promote Sochi 2014 as a catalyst for long-lasting sporting, social, economic and environmental legacy.
The new Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games brand will be launched later this month.

Top 10 tech trends of 2012
| December 26, 2012, 3:47 pm
Here is a list of the top 10 trends that ruled the tech world in 2012.
Photo filters - Many people were seen using photo editing apps thsi year like Instagram and Pixlr O-matic on Android, PicMix on BlackBerry and so on. This was evident as most of the photographs seen this year on networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus had photo filters applied to them.
Large-screened phones - We witnessed a rise in the number of large-screened phones this year. From home-grown manufacturers to tech titans, almost every company came up with at least one large-screened phone this year.
Low-cost tablets - Considering the price sensitivity of Indian customers, many second-rung manufacturers in India came up with low-cost tablets this year. Most of these low-costs tabs are priced under Rs 7K.
BlackBerry-maker RIM's downturn - While Apple's iPhones and smartphones running Google's Android OS were seen capturing a large share of market, BlackBerry-maker RIM on the other hand was seen fading away. BlackBerry phones which were once seen as status symbol devices have now become a source of mild embarrassment. The company saw a sharp decline in its sales this year. The launch of BlackBerry 10 phones is going to be a make-or-break situation for RIM.
Online shopping - The online shopping space is growing significantly in India. Sections that people explore the most while browsing e-commerce sites include clothing, gadgets and books. The attractive deals being offered by e-commerce websites everyday is the main cause behind the increase in online shopping.
Cloud storage - The cloud-based storage service lets users store data online on the company's servers, and access the same from anywhere, anytime. The year saw an exponential growth in the usage of cloud storage. From Apple to Google to Microsoft, almost all major companies have started pushing consumers to use cloud storage services. Many of them have started offering cloud storage for free (up to a certain limit). Google also came up with its cloud-base storage service Google Drive this year. The biggest competitor to the tech behemoths in online storage is the four-year old Dropbox.
7-inch tablets - The 7-inch tablets became a hot trend this year. The Indian markets were bombarded with 7-inch tablets in 2012. The 7-inch size was considered apt for a tablet that tech giants like Google, Amazon and Barnes and Noble launched the same in different versions. The demand for 7-inch tablets was too high that Apple, which was always against the idea of a 7-inch tablet, also came up with the iPad Mini.
High-resolution displays - This year we saw tech companies focusing primarily on the resolution of a display. From Samsung to Apple to Motorola to Micromax, almost all tech companies were seen working hard in fitting more pixels into the display of their devices. The high-resoltuion was a hot topic this year in the world of tech.
Windows 8 - Though Microsoft launched its Windows 8 OS a few months back, but the revamped version of Windows remained a hot topic throughout the year.
WhatsApp - Instant Messaging is not something new, but WhatsApp, a cross-platform mobile messaging app for smartphones, has become so popular now that it has become a threat to SMSs.

Somewhere Tim Donaghy Is Smiling
You tell me in what world these are both flagrant 1 fouls. Like how the fuck is that possible? Tyler Hansbrough's wasn't even a flagrant. At best it was a clean block. At worst case it was just a hard playoff foul. Like anytime you get 95% ball that's not a flagrant. In fact if Dwayne Wade didn't flop around on the ground like a dead fish for 10 minutes nobody would have even noticed. But then on the flip side you have Udonis Haslem doing a 2 handed karate chop to Hansbrough's face with zero regard for human life and zero attempt to play the ball. The absolute definition of a flagrant 2 foul. Should have be an automatic ejection and possibly criminal charges. Yet the refs somehow ruled them both flagrant 1′s? What the fuck planet am I on? Only in the NBA could this happen. Somewhere Tim Donaghy must be smiling.
PS – Not to be biased but if Miami wins this game and goes on to win the title there needs to be an asterix next to it because of this play. Flat cheating.

BOSTON — The regional office of the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development has ruled that SWAP Inc. is no longer eligible for affordable housing grants through Rhode Island Housing because its executive director, Carla DeStefano, is married to Richard H. Godfrey Jr., executive director of the quasi-state agency that oversees low-income housing.
Rhode Island Housing is responsible for doling out the federal funds for a wide variety of programs involving affordable and moderate-income housing.
On March 31, Rhode Island Housing sought what had become an annual exception for SWAP Inc., also known as Stop Wasting Abandoned Property, to the federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program's conflict of interest requirements so HUD funding could continue. The request was denied. HUD has not said why.
A spokeswoman for HUD's office in Boston said that Rhode Island Housing cannot appeal the decision.
"The HOME regulations state that no person who exercises or has exercised any functions or responsibility with HOME activities or who is in a position to participate in decisions or gain inside information may obtain financial interest or benefit from a HOME activity or have an interest in any contract, subcontract, or agreement for themselves or for any person with business or family ties," wrote Robert D. Shumeyko, director of community planning and development in Boston's HUD office.
Shumeyko also cited the marriage of DeStefano and Godfrey, saying that Rhode Island Housing is responsible for awarding and overseeing HOME funds in Rhode Island. HUD, in conjunction with local nonprofits such as SWAP, finances a sweeping range of projects including building, buying and rehabbing affordable housing for homeownership or rent. It is the agency's largest federal block grant program for state and local governments to aid low-income households.
The request for the exemption from the conflict of interest rules was denied on April 30. A spokeswoman for HUD said that SWAP is barred from applying for new federal funding that passes through Rhode Island Housing, but the decision does not impact any financing it previously received from the federal agency. SWAP can still get HUD money directly from the agency or HUD money that is allocated to the city for distribution.
DeStefano said that SWAP doesn't get HUD money for its operating budget.
"This is not a do-or-die situation for SWAP," she wrote in response to a series of questions. She played down the HUD decision, referring to it as "a blip along the road of many blips."
An annual audit of SWAP done by HUD last year shows that the agency spent $100,723 from the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. The money came through the city and did not pass through Rhode Island Housing. The city is not scheduled to give SWAP any HOME program money in the 2013-14 budget year.
In another email, DeStefano said: "From time to time SWAP does apply for and receive HUD funding for the development and operation of affordable housing. It does so directly through HUD, through the City of Providence and through Rhode Island Housing. The only HUD funding that has been impacted is that from Rhode Island Housing. SWAP has been assembling funding for hundreds of affordable homes over the past 40 years through numerous changes in funding programs. We will continue to seek out every possible source of funding to create great affordable homes and continue the revitalization of our neighborhood."
She said that SWAP's operating budget for this year is about $750,000 and the money comes from grants, reserves and consulting and development fees from housing developments and home sales. She said that none of that money is from Rhode Island Housing. She said it's used to pay staff insurance, office equipment, supplies, audit fees and to maintain their facilities.
Michael V. Milito, deputy director at Rhode Island Housing, said that his agency has made the same conflict-of-interest exemption request each year since 2005 or 2006 and HUD has always granted the waiver. He said HUD did not explain why the exemption was denied this year.
Officials at Rhode Island Housing have repeatedly cited an advisory ruling by the state Ethics Commission in 2000 that barred Godfrey from having any involvement in Rhode Island Housing matters that involved DeStefano and SWAP.
All decisions regarding SWAP were made by Rhode Island Housing's staff and its board of commissioners, according to Rhode Island Housing officials.
In recent months, The Providence Journal has published a series of articles about Rhode Island Housing buying vacant lots in distressed areas for as much as six times their appraised value. Many of those lots, 18 out of 49 in the agency's Land Bank, have been transferred to SWAP to develop affordable housing. In many cases, the proposed developments have encountered neighborhood opposition and construction has been stalled.
SWAP has been a major player in affordable housing, especially in Providence, since a local group founded the organization in 1975. SWAP has built or rehabilitated more than 1,500 homes for low- and moderate-income families. The agency reports that it has invested "nearly $100 million into the Rhode Island economy with its development work."
Milito, of Rhode Island Housing, said that SWAP gets financing directly from HUD and the City of Providence. He said that the amount they get from HUD is not a "tremendous amount." Records show that Providence gave SWAP $215,000 in federal grants in 2012-13 and the city is scheduled to provide them with $312,333 in the 2013-14 federal fiscal year.
Godfrey and Milito answered several questions on a conference call. Conceivably, SWAP could still receive federal funding via Rhode Island Housing if DeStefano or Godfrey stepped down from their positions as executive directors of SWAP Inc. and Rhode Island Housing.
Godfrey said he has no plans to retire.
He said he did not know if his wife plans to retire. "You will have to speak to her," he said.
DeStefano, who has run SWAP since 1993 and is paid about $94,000 a year, said in an email that her agency and Rhode Island Housing have always adhered to the Ethics Commission advisory.
"I have no intention of leaving SWAP," she wrote. "The work that SWAP has accomplished on the South Side and continues to accomplish has made a significant positive impact on the neighborhood and on many lives."
On May 1, Rhode Island Housing's board of commissioners granted Godfrey, who has run the agency since 1993, a one-year extension to his contract that pays $180,250 annually. He also receives a monthly car allowance of $833.

Nonspec President Honored with Design News Rising Engineering Star Award
Jonathan Perez de Alderete, president and founder of Nonspec, has been recognized as a 2014 Rising Engineering Star by Design News. Nonspec from the University of Massachusetts Lowell received the grand prize at the inaugural IAPD Plastics Application Design Competition in 2013 for their telescoping prosthetic limb designed to grow with children and priced low enough to be a viable option for use in developing nations.
According to Design News, "Jonathan has been the main innovator and driving force behind starting a company to provide pediatric amputees in developing nations with durable and inexpensive prosthetic limbs that 'grow' with the child. His 'bite-off-more-than-you-can-chew' approach has allowed him to accelerate the product's life cycle, and his leadership skills have driven the team to keep up with him. His innovation and determination to solve problems is contagious, and encourages extensively thought out solutions that have the potential to change lives."
IAPD congratulates Jonathan Perez de Aldrete and the entire Nonspec team on this honor and wishes them continued success in their important work.

My wife and I are looking at paying a landscape designer to install a decomposed granite pathway in our backyard. We have never done this before and want to know if the cost is appropriate. The landscaper is charging $2225 for 1.3 yards of DG with stabilizer and benda board installed. That is for delivery and installation and clean up. Is this within a reasonable estimate? Please help! Thanks! Richard |

Richard, More info would be helpful. What is the square footage of this path? On first read, the price seems exhorbitant since there's only 1.3 yards of DG. Pictures of proposed path area? |
- Posted by rlv4 7 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Sep 15, 10 at 10:41
The easiest way to ensure you are getting a fair bid is to obtain at least 3 and check references. Hard to say with information given what the ballpark price should be. There are too many variables that affect price, ie, what prep needs to be done before installation? how is the access to the back yard? Bob |
- Posted by missingtheobvious Blue Ridge 7a (My Page) on Wed, Sep 15, 10 at 10:41
Are you way out in the sticks -- far from the landscape designer and the source of the DG? Is there difficult terrain involved? For example, the path might be sloping. Or access to the path could be difficult; some houses have a very narrow access to the backyard. While 1.3 cu. yards doesn't sound like much, it weighs something like 2-2 1/2 tons. So the designer may need to use more equipment than you realize to move the DG to your property and then to the path. |

News storyThe Higher Education Academy UK Travel Fund 2011/12 - Call for applicationsMon 17th Oct, 2011 This new UK-wide initiative for 2011-12 builds
upon similar recent HEA schemes in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The purpose of this fund is to
help staff and students engage in activities (e.g. events, and meetings). The
HEA is committed to sustainability and increased efficiency in the delivery of
its services and has started to run some virtual events e.g. through the use
of Elluminate, however, the technological infrastructure is still in its
infancy and feedback from the sector suggests that face to face contact is
still the preferred mode of engagement. The HEAs new travel fund will
help enable staff and students in UK higher education to exchange and
disseminate good practice in learning, teaching and assessment and engage with their
peers. 1. It is only open to academic/academic related staff and students from HE
providers subscribing to the HEA. 2. Applicants may be individuals or teams. 3. Applicants must complete a written application form providing a case for
funding and must provide formal approval from their institution. The following
selection criteria will be used: a. the activity must be related to
at least one of the HEAs current seven priority themes: assessment, education for sustainable development, employability,
internationalisation, flexible learning, retention and success, reward and
recognition of teaching; b. likely impact of the activity in
the sector e.g. including nature of the engagement proposed by the applicant,
scope and purpose of the event; c. extent of the professional
development/ capacity building opportunities for the applicant(s) etc; d. value for money should be
demonstrated and applications with matched funding are encouraged. 4. Successful applicants must provide a short account of how they used the funds and
the impact that the event had in terms of helping to facilitate change within
their department or institution within three months of the event/ meeting. 5. Applications can be submitted at
any time throughout the financial year (1 August 2011- 31 July 2012). 6. An overview report will be
published each year which outlines how the funding has been used (demographic
analysis) and its impact. This further extends the already extensive database
of evidence-informed case studies for the sector. For further information and any questions related to the above, please email email@example.com http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/alldisplay?type=news&newid=2011/Hea_launches_travel_fund&site=york |

Media Often Fails to Distinguish Opinions from Facts. Fact or Opinion Quiz. Fact and Opinion. Ned Kelly. Edward "Ned" Kelly (June 1854 or 1855 – 11 November 1880)[1] was an Irish Australian bushranger.
Kelly's legacy is controversial; some consider him to be a murderous villain, while others view him as a folk hero and Australia's equivalent of Robin Hood.[2] A final violent confrontation with police took place at Glenrowan on 28 June 1880. Kelly, dressed in home-made plate metal armour and a helmet, was captured and sent to gaol. He was convicted of three counts of wilful murder[3] and hanged at Old Melbourne Gaol in November 1880. His daring and notoriety made him an iconic figure in Australian history, folklore, literature, art and film. How to Identify Bias. When reporter John Stossel announced in 2009 that he was leaving ABC for Fox News, some readers complained about his "bias."
Stossel replied: "Every reporter has political beliefs. The difference is that I am upfront about mine." Stossel, who characterizes himself as a libertarian, left a mainstream television network for another that aims its programming at a conservative audience. His reply to the charge of bias marked an honesty that many people feel is lacking in the mainstream news media. Is Media Bias Real? Top court upholds healthcare law.

Obama and Congressional Democrats, affirming the central legislative achievement of Mr. Obama's presidency. Supreme Court upholds Obama's health-care law. The decision keeps in place the largest new social program in a generation, a major overhaul of the health-care system that could extend coverage to about 30 million Americans.
It creates state-run insurance exchanges and eliminates what have been some of the most unpopular insurance practices. The ruling did limit one significant portion of the law, which sought to expand Medicaid to cover millions more poor and disabled people. The program is a joint federal-state effort, and the court said the law's requirement that states rapidly extend coverage to new beneficiaries or lose existing federal payments was unduly coercive.
Supreme Court upholds healthcare law as tax measure. WASHINGTON -- The U.S.
Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of President Obama's healthcare law Thursday, ruling the government may impose tax penalties on persons who do not have health insurance. The court's long-awaited ruling rejected a broad legal attack on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act brought by Republican state officials and the National Federation of Independent Business.

Associate Professor
A dedicated percussion artist and educator, Patrick Roulet has more than 18 years of college teaching and professional performance experience. He currently directs the percussion program at Towson University, a position he has held since 2008. Roulet's scholarly work reflects his many interests within the broad field of percussion including classical, jazz, and world music. His research on the life and music of jazz vibraphonist Milt Jackson was selected for presentation at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention and was featured as the cover article for the February 2003 publication of Percussive Notes. His article, "Teaching the Marimba through West African Gyil Methodologies" (Percussive Notes, (July 2010): 16-21.) was based on his study at the University of Ghana in 2006. His most recent project, a recording of the early percussion music of Michael Colgrass, done in collaboration with the composer, was released on Equilibrium Records in summer 2012. As a freelance percussionist in Seattle for more than 10 years, he performed regularly with the Seattle Symphony and Seattle Opera Orchestras, the American Sinfonietta, and the Pacific Rims Percussion Quartet. His performances as the principal timpanist of the Bellingham Festival of Music have frequently been broadcast on National Public Radio's Performance Today. Roulet received degrees in percussion performance from the University of Washington (DMA), Boston University (MM), and the University of Michigan (BM). As a Yamaha Performing Artist, Roulet continues to inspire students of all levels through clinics and masterclasses throughout the United States. During the summers he teaches and performs at the New England Music Camp in Maine where he also chairs the brass and percussion area.
