How many bugs will the day one release of Skyrim Dawnguard for the XBOX 360 add-on have?
On June 26, 2012 at 2:59 pm
First estimates? A whole lot. Bethesda doesn't have a great track record fixing bugs, and people are already reporting all sorts of problems. Hopefully the major issues will be fixed soon!

Street repair backs up Five Corners traffic
Updated 2:15 pm, Tuesday, June 4, 2013
Construction crews working on a storm drainage system blocked one lane of the Five Corners intersection in Vineyard Haven Tuesday morning, and they are expected to continue work into Wednesday.
Motorists at times moved smoothly through the notorious intersection, aided by State Police directing traffic. At other times traffic backed up in August proportions, well beyond the R.M. Packer Company fuel storage tanks.
Local contractor White Lynch is doing the work for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT). They are replacing a gutter inlet, that allows storm runoff to drain away from the street.
"We noticed the inlet had been failing – specifically it had started to collapse," said Michael Verseckes, spokesman for the state agency. "MassDOT has a policy of not doing any work that requires lane restrictions on the Cape and Islands between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend. Exceptions include work that is emergency in nature. Because the failing gutter inlet could impact the sidewalk above, and because it would prevent water from properly draining, we made the determination that the work could not wait until after Labor Day."
if there were ever an intersection that could use a roundabout…
you will never see it,Tisbury loves traffic,they have never done a thing to improve it,in fact,they do all they can to make things worse
Then someone who knew how to direct traffic should have pulled him aside and showed him the right way. At least he wasn't texting or chatting on his cell phone all-day like you see everywhere else.
Don't they always?
So True, he didn't believe in letting cars out on Beach Road only five vehicles at a time. Tisbury Police are not good at being traffic cops.


text: My wrist isnt 100% yet and I have injured my lower back!!! :( I was getting things ready to go to the flea market and sell all my junk. I think it happened when I was moving the ceramic tile. Yesterday my feet hurt so bad I needed to sit down but when I did I could barely get back up. When i got home I took a very hot bath hoping that will help. Later that night I wasnt able to even sit up in the chair. Today i have basically been in bed all day long. I hope this doesnt last long. I need to go to work tomorrow but I dont think I can do much more other than sitting in the chair. I have done excellent on my diet the last week but today has been a challenge. I have basically been in the bed all day and wanting to eat. Im trying really hard not to eat for no reason but Im having problems findong other things to do b/c I cant realyl get up and around.

Welcome to day 5 of little terri's Sipdown Extravaganza!
I have to start the day by issuing a retraction: yesterday I logged sipdown #28 as Yu Lu Yan Cha. This morning I was looking through my files, & realized that I still have some Yu Lu in one of the Verdant TOMC files, so no sipdown there. Yet.
So Sipdown #28 is this Anniversary Blend. Thank you Spencer!
I love my unblended black teas, but I also enjoy a good blend, & this one is particularly nice because it includes Jin Jun Mei, which I am in love with. Sweet with a nice cocoa powder base & a malty middle, what more could I ask for this morning?

A Midsummer Night's Dream Posters
A series of posters for the Orpheum Theatre, San Francisco, CA -
The use of negative space of bottom the donkey gives the play a magical and whimsical quality. The Purpose of this poster series is to draw attention to the a supporting characters of the play, rather than focus on the four main characters.
Bottom, originally a townsman acting in a play for the king, was turned into a donkey by the mischievous Puck and then later the queen faerie is tricked into falling in love with him. Bottom is colored red because he serves as the comedic relief and is a happy energetic character.
The King and Queen Faerie are angry with each other the entire story. Their jealousy of each others lovers causes the King Faerie to send puck and play tricks on the queen. Puck accidentally works his magic on the four main characters and makes them fall in and out of love with each other. The king and queen are colored green to demonstrate their jealousy of each other.
Puck is the king Faerie's right hand man. He does all his bidding and is characterized by the mischief he puts on the four main characters. He is the reason why the four characters fall in and out of love with each other the whole play. Puck is colored purple for the mischief he plays on all the characters. -

Department of Mathematics
Home › Academics › Colleges › College of Engineering and Natural Sciences › Departments and Schools › Department of Mathematics › Our Faculty and Staff › Thomas Cairns
Emeritus Professor of MathematicsKeplinger Hall email@example.com
Prof. Cairns was a commissioned officer in the Army of the United States/Army Security Agency. Two months after he received his commission, the Korean armistice was signed making him technically a Korean veteran. He spent two years on active duty, principally attached to the National Security Agency (NSA), and nine years total in the army reserve.
Upon finishing graduate school Prof. Cairns came to The University of Tulsa and is serving his 53rd year on the faculty. He is a Professor of Mathematical Sciences. From 1967 to 1977, he was Chair of the Department of Mathematics, during which time the program in computer sciences was instituted.
He had a background in collegiate varsity sports and in 1976 started the women's varsity volleyball program at The University of Tulsa and coached it for 17 years. He has been active in promoting women's equity in sports and science and has been given some credit for being a prime force behind the Title IX compliance at TU.
In addition to the time he spent in the army attached to NSA, he worked there on occasion in the capacity of a WAE Expert. He was also engaged at times as a summer employee at the Amoco Exploration and Production Laboratory in Tulsa, working with their geophysicists on problems in petroleum seismology. He wrote their program implementing the Cooley-Tukey FFT algorithm which was used there for many years. The FFT was a huge boost for processing of petroleum seismic records. He did similar work with Cities Service R&D.
In more recent years, Prof. Cairns became active in undergraduate research in mathematics and also more generally as a coordinator of the Tulsa Undergraduate Research Challenge (TURC). During his years coordinating TURC, TU received national recognition because of its part in this university producing Goldwater Scholars in numbers exceeded by only two other universities nationally. He has had many undergrads give papers at mathematics meetings on a variety of topics in applied mathematics.
In the last few years, along with a colleague who is an exercise physiologist, Prof. Cairns developed, with some National Science Foundation (NSF) support, a general education course in sport science. The course meets a general curriculum science requirement for non-science majors and the subject matter is mainly biomechanics based on Newton's laws.
He has also had students working on the fluid mechanics of a volleyball in air, specifically fitting a differential equation of motion to volleyball paths video taped in the gym and, using cutting edge motion analysis systems, the kinetics and kinematics of volleyball spikers.
Prof. Cairns teaches two kinds of courses in sport science. Each semester SI-1004 is offered mainly for students who use it to meet a general education requirement for a laboratory science. The SI stands for Scientific Inquiry and the course was developed with the help of NSF support for innovative teaching of science. SI-1004 features the use of the Aerial Performance Analysis System (APAS) which is a professional motion analysis package.
The content consists of explaining how physical laws, especially Newton's laws of motion, affect the way sports are played and influence performance levels. Examples are: why a curveball curves, why a javelin lifts, how body mechanics are implemented using bone-muscle levers, why a sprinter starts in a four point stance.
Prof. Cairns offers upon demand special topics courses in sport science or biomechanics to one to four students at a time. These also involve the use of APAS applied to a specific problem of common interest. The students are usually expected to present the results of their work in a professional meeting.
Prof. Cairns and his students research aerodynamics of the paths followed by volleyballs in motion. The classical equation of motion for objects moving through air is sixth order highly nonlinear differential equation that contains two dimensionless parameters that are specific to the object: the drag coefficient CD and the lift coefficient CL. Lift refers to the consequences of the ball spinning. The basic problem is to determine the values of these parameters for a volleyball as a function of speed and, in the case of CL, the spin rate. If the ball is not spinning them CL = 0.
At the request of Prof. Cairns, CD was the subject of a wind tunnel study by Hahn and McCulloch who were aeronautical engineering students at the University of Michigan. That study produced good results and, in fact, the definitive values of the drag coefficient for all relevant ball speeds.
Even without having accurate values for CL these results were useful because one of the principal weapons in volleyball is the so-called float serve which is not spinning.
A second group of students at the University of Michigan followed up with a study of a spinning volleyball.
This study was not successful because of the inherent experimental problems associated with spinning the ball in the wind tunnel and measuring the forces acting at the same time. Cairns' approach to this problem is to shoot volleyballs across the gym, videotape the paths and compute the ball locations at 1/60 second intervals using the Ariel Performance Analysis System. Then the paths are matched to the solution of the equation of motion in order to produce a formula for CL. This is a work in progress.
Prof. Cairns presented preliminary results at a meeting of the International Sports Engineering Association (ISEA) which was well received and, in fact, featured in Science Magazine. One of the reasons for the interest generated at that meeting is that the volleyball is relatively light compared to its size and this means that all sorts of interesting things can happen to it during flight. As the study of ball paths go, it's a kind of missing link.

With fresh arms and a renewed vigor from an increasingly intense NATO bombing campaign, anti-government rebels in Libya have made tangible gains over the past few days. The rebels captured the airport in Misurata, and sent Gadhafi loyalists fleeing for cover. The airport served as a base and storage facility for Gadhafi's forces and their heavy weapons. Rebels say they've seized weapons and ammunition from the airport. Rebels are now advancing west from Misurata to Ziltan, which is closer to Tripoli. Fighting has subsided on the eastern front around Ajdabiya as well. Gadhafi has gone underground, not even appearing at his son's funeral, which has fed the rumor mill.

First Predator Drone Strikes Hit Libya |
By: David Dayen Saturday April 23, 2011 12:00 pm |
The first Predator drone strike has hit Libya, the US military confirmed today. It's not clear where it struck, but explosions were heard outside Tripoli, in addition to in the area around the besieged city of Misurata. Some missiles fired by NATO apparently hit an underground bunker near the Gadhafi compound in Tripoli, which looks to have been used for military storage.
Besieged Misurata Residents Seek NATO Ground Troops for Libya |
By: David Dayen Monday April 18, 2011 8:15 am |
The situation in Misurata is bleak: hospital officials confirm 17 dead yesterday. As that continues, regardless of the UN effort you will hear the cries from residents of the need for more airstrikes or even ground troops. After all, the logic is exactly the same: the UN needed to prevent a massacre in Benghazi. Why not Misurata, the third-largest city in Libya, as well?
NATO Will Take Command of Libya Operation, After Days of Discussion |
By: David Dayen Thursday March 24, 2011 2:40 pm |
The idea that NATO command means that the US is relieved of duty in Libya is kind of silly. NATO members contribute to that command. The commander is likely to be an American general. We will still have a role to play.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency.

The landing page needs offers added. Also it needs to be formatted to
look like the regular posting on the site, and my intro sentences need to
be offset from the body. I don't know how to do the html formatting for
that. Please have Julie work with Mooney or a writer. We can copy the

Dear Readers:
This week I want to share with you one of the more important tools in my
arsenal. As I've told you before, George Friedman and his team at
Stratfor are my go-to guys for geopolitical intelligence. Their insights
into this facet of the world are simply without peer. Now I want you to
see their Intelligence Guidance which they publish each Friday for the
upcoming week; last week's edition is below.
The Intelligence Guidance is an internal document that guides their
intelligence team for the upcoming week. It's not a forecast of what's
going to happen (more on that in a minute) but a list of potential
inflection points that bear close scrutiny. On a short term basis, these
are the critical items that can move policy in one direction or another.
I put this side-by-side with my calendar of Fed meetings, statistics
releases, and earnings announcements to get a wholistic picture of what's
going to be driving markets and plan tactics. I highly encourage you to
<<click here for a Stratfor Membership>>, at special prices available to
my readers, and add Stratfor's Intelligence Guidance to your weekly
Now about that forecast. Stratfor is just about to issue their Q3
forecast, and you definitely want to incorporate this thinking in your
strategic planning. Stratfor's past calls on everything from the Asian
currency meltdown to China's internal problems have proven to be eerily
prescient. And I should point out that they also provide a scorecard that
makes it very clear where their calls have been off, too. The Quarterly
Forecast is included free as part of your Stratfor Membership, so <<click
this link for the special deals available to my readers>> and make sure
that you don't miss out on this important look ahead.
Your Guided-by-Intelligence-Voices-Analyst,
John Mauldin
The following are internal Stratfor documents produced to provide
high-level guidance to our analysts. These documents are not forecasts,
but rather a series of guidelines for understanding and evaluating events,
as well as suggestions on areas for focus.
All guidance from last week remains in place. Supplemental guidance:
1. The situation in Iraq: Let*s spend next week focusing on something that
is not happening: the war in Iraq. The bombing in a Baghdad market really
drove home how few there are. So did indications that Iraq is going to
open the oil fields to investment. We need to review the status of the war
carefully. Our perception has been that the war is winding down and the
general outlines of the resolution are in place. Time to do a net
assessment re-evaluating our position.
2. China and oil prices: China has lifted the caps on oil prices, the
Saudis are promising to raise output and consumption appears to be
dropping. That would indicate that oil prices will fall, but that is not
our business. Our business remains figuring out what higher energy prices
do to the international system. The China watch remains essential. That is
the center of gravity of the problem. They are still trying to ride it out
with subsidies. Questions like *What is the status of their cash
reserves?* and *What is happening to export profit margins?* become very
interesting. They are spending real money to keep these caps on to keep
those margins up. We do not know where prices will go but we know where
they are. Let*s drill into the reserve and margin question.
3. Venezuela and Cuba: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez tried to create a
police state then backed off. Next thing we hear are stories the he is
giving sanctuary to Hezbollah, which we assume is psychological pressure
from Washington. Then he turns up in Havana for talks with Fidel and Raul
Castro. In the meantime the European Union drops whatever sanctions are
left on Cuba. Cuba needs Venezuelan help on oil. But it also seems to want
to get out of its isolation. It*s not all that interesting what Chavez
said to the Castros, but it would really be interesting to find out what
Raul said to Chavez. Fidel cranked him up. Is Raul following the old line
with Chavez, or telling him to calm down?
4. Israeli domestic politics: What is holding Israeli Prime Minister Ehud
Olmert up? In any other country the allegations alone would have bought
him down, not to mention Ehud Barak, a coalition partner, calling for his
resignation. With the Syrian talks clearly proceeding and Hamas agreeing
to a truce with Israel, things are at a crucial point. Since this is the
Middle East, that*s usually when disaster strikes. Olmert*s fall would
seem to derail everything, but he does not fall. Let*s dissect the Israeli
situation and see what we can learn.
5. Zimbabwe and South Africa: Zimbabwe is not important in itself. South
Africa is, or more precisely, the degree to which South Africa plans to
exercise power in Africa. With commodity prices high, Africa becomes
important, and as the Chinese increase their presence, the South Africans
could use their longstanding close ties to move in as well. It would make
geopolitical and business sense to do that. Zimbabwe is the test for South
Africa. If either South African President Thabo Mbeki or African National
Congress President Jacob Zuma can help pull Zimbabwean President Robert
Mugabe out of office, his authority in the continent will be solid. Mbeki
and Zuma have the power, but it isn*t clear they have the will. If they do
not have the will in Zimbabwe, they will not have it to create a sphere of
influence elsewhere. The Zimbabwe crisis is in a quiet phase but that
won*t hold indefinitely. We need to watch South Africa to see if it will

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Here is the vision about Babylonia that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw. | 1 An oracle concerning Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw: |
2 Lift up a banner on the top of a bare hill. Shout to the enemy soldiers. Wave for them to enter the gates that are used by the nobles of Babylon. | 2 Raise a banner on a bare hilltop, shout to them; beckon to them to enter the gates of the nobles. |
3 The LORD has set those soldiers apart to fight for him. He has sent for them to carry out his anger against Babylon. They will be happy when he wins the battle for them. | 3 I have commanded my holy ones; I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath-- those who rejoice in my triumph. |
4 Listen! I hear a noise in the mountains. It sounds like a huge crowd. Listen! I hear a loud noise among the kingdoms. It sounds like nations gathering together. The LORD who rules over all is bringing an army together for war. | 4 Listen, a noise on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations massing together! The LORD Almighty is mustering an army for war. |
5 They come from lands far away. They come from the farthest places on earth. The LORD and those weapons of his anger are coming to destroy the whole country of Babylonia. | 5 They come from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens-- the LORD and the weapons of his wrath-- to destroy the whole country. |
6 Cry out! The day of the LORD is near. The Mighty One is coming to destroy them. | 6 Wail, for the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. |
7 Their hands won't be able to help them. Everyone's heart will melt away in fear. | 7 Because of this, all hands will go limp, every man's heart will melt. |
8 The people will be filled with terror. Pain and suffering will grab hold of them. They will groan with pain like a woman having a baby. They'll look at one another in terror. Their faces will burn with shame. | 8 Terror will seize them, pain and anguish will grip them; they will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look aghast at each other, their faces aflame. |
9 The day of the LORD is coming. It will be a terrible day. The LORD's burning anger will blaze out. He will make the land dry and empty. He'll destroy the sinners in it. | 9 See, the day of the LORD is coming --a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger-- to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it. |
10 All of the stars in the sky will stop giving their light. The sun will be darkened as soon as it rises. The moon will not shine. | 10 The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light. |
11 The LORD will punish the world because it is so evil. He will punish evil people for their sins. He'll put an end to the bragging of those who are proud. He'll bring down the pride of those who don't show any pity. | 11 I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless. |
12 He'll make men harder to find than pure gold. They will be harder to find than gold from Ophir. | 12 I will make man scarcer than pure gold, more rare than the gold of Ophir. |
13 He will make the heavens tremble. He'll shake the earth out of its place. The LORD who rules over all will show how angry he is. At that time his burning anger will blaze out. | 13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of the LORD Almighty, in the day of his burning anger. |
14 Outsiders who live in Babylonia will scatter like antelope that are chased by a hunter. They are like sheep that don't have a shepherd. All of them will return to their own people. They will run back to their own countries. | 14 Like a hunted gazelle, like sheep without a shepherd, each will return to his own people, each will flee to his native land. |
15 Those who are captured will have spears stuck through them. Those who are caught will be killed with swords. | 15 Whoever is captured will be thrust through; all who are caught will fall by the sword. |
16 Their babies will be smashed to pieces right in front of their eyes. Their houses will be robbed. Their wives will be raped. | 16 Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives ravished. |
17 The LORD will stir up the Medes to attack the Babylonians. They aren't interested in getting silver. They don't delight in gold. | 17 See, I will stir up against them the Medes, who do not care for silver and have no delight in gold. |
18 Instead, they will use their bows and arrows to strike the young men down. They won't even show any mercy to babies. They won't take pity on children. | 18 Their bows will strike down the young men; they will have no mercy on infants nor will they look with compassion on children. |
19 The city of Babylon is the jewel of kingdoms. It is the glory and pride of the Babylonians. But God will destroy it just as he did Sodom and Gomorrah. | 19 Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the glory of the Babylonians' pride, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah. |
20 No one will ever live in Babylon again. No one will live there for all time to come. Arabs will never set up their tents there. Shepherds will never rest their flocks there. | 20 She will never be inhabited or lived in through all generations; no Arab will pitch his tent there, no shepherd will rest his flocks there. |
21 But desert creatures will lie down there. Wild dogs will fill its houses. Owls will live there. Wild goats will jump around in it. | 21 But desert creatures will lie there, jackals will fill her houses; there the owls will dwell, and there the wild goats will leap about. |
22 Hyenas will cry out in its forts. Wild dogs will bark in its beautiful palaces. The time for Babylon to be punished is near. Its days are numbered. | 22 Hyenas will howl in her strongholds, jackals in her luxurious palaces. Her time is at hand, and her days will not be prolonged. |

Nintendo today announced a new bundle which might tempt a few "core gamer" holdouts over to Wii U.
The ZombiU Deluxe Set comes with the game, a Pro Controller, and everything in the Deluxe Bundle: the 32 GB console, GamePad, Nintendo Land (this time in download form), and access to the Digital Deluxe program. The bundle runs at $390, just $40 more than the regular Deluxe set, which is a pretty good deal considering the extra stuff would cost $110 by itself.
If you're wondering why a ZombiU bundle would include a Pro Controller when the game makes such heavy use of the GamePad, that's because it's ideal for puny humans playing the non-zombie-spawning role in ZombiU's asymmetrical multiplayer.
The bundle will be available in stores starting February 17.

Kevin Pietersen left out of England's World Twenty20 squad
Kevin Pietersen has been left out of the England squads for both the World Twenty20 and the preceding one-day series against South Africa.
The 32-year-old was dropped for the third Test against South Africa after allegedly insulting Test captain Andrew Strauss in texts to the tourists.
Pietersen apologised for the messages, admitting they were "provocative".
England team director Andy Flower said: "There's unresolved issues of trust and respect which have to be resolved."
"It shouldn't have got to this. Pietersen and Strauss could have gone down to the pub and had a beer and feed, and if they had to punch the absolute whatever out of each other, then so be it.
"If you have to get it out of your system then do it. Then come back and put your arm around each other and walk out and play together.
"There are faults on both sides. I think there is a bit too much ego at the ECB. There is no give and take or compromise."
Pietersen had been expected to meet Strauss this week to discuss the matter but speaking after his side's defeat by South Africa in the third Test on Monday, the England captain said that as far as he was concerned that would not be the case.
Strauss suggested the issues surrounding Pietersen "will take a while to be resolved", adding "we'll be looking to do that away from the public eye as much as possible in the coming weeks".
England coach Flower told BBC Sport: "When we have time we will begin resolving these issues one way or another. This is not just an issue between the player and the captain, there are bigger issues at heart.
"The text issues have to be investigated so that we know what situation we are dealing with. We are aware of some of the content but we have to understand the content to move on in a proper, healthy fashion."
Asked if a decision had been made on whether to offer Pietersen a new central contract, Flower added: "We have to deal with some of these other issues before a decision can be made on central contracts and who gets offered them."
England Twenty20 captain Stuart Broad has been left out of the one-day series against South Africa to rest ahead of the World Twenty20.
England play five one-day internationals against the Proteas - the first on 24 August in Cardiff - and three Twenty20s before they commence the defence of their World Twenty20 crown in Sri Lanka.
"Stuart Broad has an important period coming up leading our T20 side and with a three-match series followed closely by the ICC World T20 we feel a two-week break from cricket is in the best interests of both Stuart and the team," national selector Geoff Miller said.
Pietersen retired from both one-day and Twenty20 internationals in May, but made himself available for all formats in a surprise U-turn on 11 August.
Despite being man of the match in the second Test against South Africa the off-field controversy led to him being dropped for the third Test, and he was out for a golden duck to the left-arm spin of Hampshire's Liam Dawson while playing for Surrey on Sunday.
England's T20 pool games
21 September: v Afghanistan (Colombo)

Super Eight stage starts on 27 September
The big-hitting right-hander averages 41.84 in one-day internationals with a strike rate of 86.76, while in T20s he averages 37.93 with a strike rate of 141.51.
He was named player of the tournament as England won the last World Twenty20 in 2010, averaging 62 from his six innings.
Luke Wright and Michael Lumb, who were both part of the side that won the World Twenty20 in 2010, return to the T20 squad for the first time since June 2011.
Also in the 15-man T20 squad is Danny Briggs, who has a solitary ODI cap for England but has yet to represent his country in the shortest form of the game.
Ravi Bopara, who has not played for England since pulling out of the squad for the second Test against South Africa for personal reasons, is included in the ODI and T20 parties.
The Essex all-rounder will play for Gloucestershire in the one-day tour game against South Africa at Bristol on Wednesday.

23rd August 2012 - 18:22Some banter ;)
England have hardly won outside their own country except in similar conditions...ok maybe srilanka, but that was close.
So they were not really the number 1 team..
One more thing, i feel this team is more about discipline than talent(except KP)..If only discipline cud win always.
OK..KP said all that, but common..wudn't SA have figured out Strauss' weakness? Bring him back -
Comment number 337.
23rd August 2012 - 14:23ICC must ban England for a sending a second rate team to a major tournament.
Without Pietersen, England are the most boring team in the tournament. -
Comment number 336.
23rd August 2012 - 11:21@332 to be fair, when other England players are rested its usually a mgmt decision (sometimes resisted e.g. by Anderson), in the perceived best interests of player + team. KP has been rested before on this basis. But KP wanted/wants a contract where *he* decides when he rests/gets to play in the IPL, never mind the team's needs. How can you give in to that?
Comment number 335.
23rd August 2012 - 8:20330 my age is my business,however i remember watching Subba Row and Geoff Pullar opening for England....and Jim Laker taking 19 wickets !
Comment number 334.
23rd August 2012 - 8:03All those who are slagging Strauss off are forgetting who captained England to victory over the last couple of years. Yes, he may be lacking in runs, he isn't the only one. Not many tons for anyone recently! KP got one, yes, but does that make him imune to being dropped for being a mug? I am pretty sure, if you sum up Strauss' captaining career, he has a few more positives than negaitives...

The winners were randomly selected from the top 10 finishers of each gender. In the women's drawing, Judy Lee was randomly chosen, but she had declared herself ineligible since she is an official with the local host, Bike Michiana. This was to Katie's advantage, since she was then chosen randomly.
John Boughton of South Bend was the top male rider, while Bonnie Yoder of Granger was the top female. John was ranked 117th nationally (98th percentile), out of 5,602 riders. Bonnie was 2,694th (52nd percentile). Communities were ranked based on the number of NBC Points per 10,000 residents. The top community was Lively, VA: South Bend was 426th out of 4,267 communities (90th percentile). The top state was Wisconsin, while Indiana was ranked 8th (84th percentile).
The BMC congratulates all contestants

The new school year brings fresh school supplies, clothes and backpacks. Many Fort Mill kids also have bragging rights to a brand new school. Pleasant Knoll Elementary is one of two new elementary schools to open its doors Aug. 19.
Pleasant Knoll Principal Travis Howard is also a first-time principal. Howard credits Scott Frattaroli, principal at the new Sugar Creek Elementary, with helping him acclimate to his new job.
Asked why he would choose to open a new school amid the challenges of a sluggish economy and growing school population, Howard brought out a copy of Kevin Carroll's "Rules of the Red Rubber Ball: Find and Sustain Your Life's Work."
"I have a passion to see young children excited about learning," Howard said. "I find great purpose being here."
Part of Howard's vision for Pleasant Knoll includes a community culture.
"Community is our family, our school, our town and our world and we want the kids here to feel a part of it all," he said.
"We Care" is a slogan he developed to encompass all aspects of school life.
A school-wide color-coded behavioral system was created, as well as daily classroom community meetings.
At the school's open house, students were asked to donate a canned food item, which resulted in more than 240 pounds of food donated to the Fort Mill Care Center.
PTO President Michele Branning is energized by Howard's enthusiasm.
"He is willing to listen to all ideas; nothing is off limits," Branning said. "The kids have a real ownership of their school and it is just days old – that's pretty special."

Bravotv.com: We start with Shirley's self-professed "Weird Seafood" challenge. Both ladies end up cooking Geoduck.
Gail Simmons: I liked that Shirley went for it with a very Shirley-challenge. As far as seafood goes, I'm generally a fan, but I will say Geoduck is one of my least favorites. It's sort of disgusting to look at when it's raw -- but it's just a giant clam. Both chefs ended up doing really well, although in a way they did similar things. They both made salads, which was smart because they didn't have a lot of time.
I was actually surprised Brooke won the challenge. I thought Shirley's was more elegant and delicate. Her flavors were strong and bright, and she showcased the Geoduck in two different ways, fried and sliced thinly. Brooke's dish was really flavorful, but you couldn't taste the actual product because she coated it and fried it. But it was two against one.
Bravotv.com: So Brooke wins, and her challenge to Shirley is a pretty direct -- "you're not good at dessert so I'm going to give you not just a dessert but a vegan dessert."
GS: I thought that was very bold of her to say "I'm doing this challenge because I've done research on you. I don't think you're going to be good at this, and I am." Vegan desserts are hard. All the things you fall back on when you think of dessert -- butter, egg, dairy, milk, cream -- go to the wayside.
I was really impressed with both desserts, as I said. I'm not talking about Top Chef Just Desserts, but over the years on Top Chef proper we have not had very many excellent desserts. These two were delicious -- creamy, imaginative, fresh, and satisfying.
It's funny, I was against the grain for both of these challenges. Again, I loved Shirley's dish. I loved that it wasn't heavy. The tapioca worked well. The coconut and green tea were a delicious combination. It was refreshing, not super decadent, as some people expect when they think of dessert. I know Curtis has a serious chocolate addiction, so Shirley's dessert might not have been for him. Brooke certainly played to that chocolate addiction, whether she knew to do it or not.
Brooke's dessert was fantastic. It was rich and creamy. There was pistachio, torched orange, and banana mixed in with the chocolate mousse. It was a really beautifully executed dessert. My preference was Shirley's, but again two out of three. Brooke is now $20,000 richer!
By the way, I don't want people to think I didn't like Brooke's food. I loved everything. I just liked Shirley's food a little more that specific day. Brooke did a phenomenal job and made very successful dishes in both challenges. It was a very even "duel" all the way through. They come from different backgrounds, but their food somehow has a lot of similarity. I think their skills are on par so it was a very exciting episode for us all.

Awesome!! I'm wondering if ardour2 is nessesary. I use pulseaudio now,
but i understand that pulse audio can use jack. I like the idea of
being able to use mpd for music (or totem or what have you for movies)
and being able to play it into pulse audio into jack and then whatever
else it needs. Would using the amb ladspa plugins (which pulse audio can
use) be viable here?
I didn't make it clear earler, but i want to be able to use this with
stereo recordings to retrieve the ambiace from mics in to a realistic,
recording venue recreation in 3d. This is where Super Stereo comes in,
right? Also, i'd like to use it for 5.1/7.1 movie sound tracks to tame
them a bit and make them sound better.
I'm still head spinning a bit over all this, and wishing i had kept the
4 extra (crappy) speakers and cheap integrated amp that i gave to the
thift sore a few weeks ago. Would have been nice to test all this..

Birmingham, England, c. 1973: industrial strikes, bad pop music, corrosive class warfare, adolescent angst, IRA bombings. Four friends: a class clown who stoops very low for a laugh; a confused artist enthralled by guitar rock; an earnest radical with socialist leanings; and a quiet dreamer obsessed with poetry, God, and the prettiest girl in school. As the world appears to self-destruct around them, they hold together to navigate the choppy waters of a decidedly ambiguous decade.

Free Podcast of Quality Erotic Audio Content Helps Women Jump-Start Their Sex Drives; Eroticshiver.com First to Offer MP3 Download of Original Audio Stories for Women.
LOS ANGELES -- EroticShiver (www.eroticshiver.com), the first erotic audio book store and online community for women, today announced that it has launched its first podcasts, which focus on helping women rediscover their lost or dormant sex drives. The free podcasts can be found on Apple iTunes, Podcast.net and PodcastAlley.com.To access an EroticShiver sexy story, go to www.podcast.net or directly to http://www.podcast.net/show/43588. For the introduction to "Who Stole My Sex Drive?" -- a forthcoming book that recounts the humorous tale of one woman's journey to sexual re-discovery -- go to Apple iTunes under "Podcasts," or visit PodcastAlley.com at http://www.podcastalley.com/podcast_details.php?pod_id=10129
The innovative company is the first to fully exploit the surging popularity of Apple iPod and other portable media players in this fashion, by turning erotic stories into a library of professionally recorded audio files, offered in a range of styles, voices and scenarios. The stories are especially designed to help women re-ignite their passion by providing high-quality, female-focused erotic content that engages the mind and does not exploit women in any way.
Podcasts -- widely hailed as the newest online craze -- are audio files available online, usually for free, for people to download to their portable media players or their computers or to burn them to a CD so they can listen to them at any time. More than 22 million American adults own iPods or MP3 players, and more than 6 million adults have downloaded podcasts, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
"We're taking a revolutionary approach to delivering erotic content for women, so it just makes sense for us to jump on this incredible opportunity to get our stories out there," said Amanda Clarkson, founder of EroticShiver, a former personal trainer to women and author of the forthcoming book, "Who Stole My Sex Drive?" "Apple iPods and other MP3 players are selling like crazy, and podcasts have become the hottest new way to deliver audio content -- giving us a huge opportunity to connect with women everywhere. We want to help women make their sex lives vibrant again, and we strongly believe that audio content is uniquely effective -- it helps put women in the middle of some incredibly erotic fantasies, in the privacy and security of their own headphones."
EroticShiver offers an entire library of erotic audio stories through its website, http://www.eroticshiver.com. Focusing on the experiential, rather than the visual, erotic audio stories are uniquely suited to meet a woman's need to engage the mind -- before the body -- to feel sexy.
About EroticShiver
Based in Los Angeles, and hailing originally from Australia, EroticShiver (www.eroticshiver.com) is an online audio book store and online community that provides women with a healthy, private and fun way to re-ignite their femininity and restore passion to their relationships. EroticShiver offers the first collection of professionally recorded erotic audio stories for iPods and other MP3 players -- especially designed to help women re-ignite their passion by providing high-quality, female-focused erotic content that engages the mind and does not exploit women in any way.
