I check the truck in on Saturday and it wasn't due until Monday. The girl at the gas service station was helpful but not that acquitted with U-Haul. She was personable and did the best she could.
Everything was fine at this location
I reserved my uhaul almost a month in advance to pick up in Minot, ND. I got a call the day before saying we had to drive over 2 hours one way to pick up our uhaul. I was incredibly dissatisfied with the experience. I was however happy with Jerry at the Rolla uhaul. I will never use uhaul again. Such bad customer service and nobody was willing to help with the awful situation.
Jerry was very helpful and knew just what I needed to get the job done safely

BMW 325iX Replacement Idle Control Valve Information
The 325iX BMW idle control valve is an inexpensive part that pays a huge dividend. Key to vehicle performance, the 325iX BMW idle control valve allows the vehicle to idle without stalling as soon as the driver steps off the gas pedal. Located on, or near, the intake throttle body, the valve lets in enough air to keep the engine operating while it idles. It is shaped like a bullet point forcing air through a shaft opening into the throttle body control plate. The BMW 325 iX is an old school, entry level luxury sedan. Keeping the engine working with the correct amount if air is key for an idle control valve that generally lasts around 70,000 miles. It also may be damaged during road travel or fail to excessive carbon buildup. It can't be repaired, so owners replace it with a genuine part fitting the unique vehicle.
They are available for the following BMW 325iX years: 1989, 1988, 89, 88. This part is also sometimes called BMW 325iX Idle Valves. We stock idle control valve parts for most BMW models including 318i, 325i, X5, 318is, 328i, 528i, 318ti, 525i, 740iL, 535i, Z3, 325Ci, M3, 325is, 540i, 528e, 330Ci, 323i, 635CSi, 530i, 330i, 633CSi, 325xi, 325e, 735i, 733i, 330xi, 740i, 533i, 323is, X3, 328is, M5, 323Ci, 325, Z4, 328Ci, 735iL, 320i and 325es.

Vineyard Haven — next state designated cultural district?
Vineyard Haven wants to get on the map. Literally. On Thursday, representatives of the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) and a handful of town and Island officials toured downtown Vineyard Haven and stopped in at a number of businesses as part of an application process to designate Vineyard Haven a state cultural district.
If approved, the designation would put Vineyard Haven on the state arts and culture map, said Nancy Gardella, executive director of the Martha's Vineyard Chamber of Commerce.
"Because Vineyard Haven is the year-round gateway to the Island, establishing a cultural district is a way of telling everyone who leaves the ferry that they are coming to a special place, a place that celebrates arts and culture," Ms. Gardella said. "It's pretty exciting."
Martha's Vineyard Playhouse artistic and executive director MJ Bruder-Munafo led the tour that began at 1 pm at the Vineyard Haven Library and included stops at the Playhouse, CB Stark Jewelers, Bunch of Grapes Bookstore, the cupola deck of the Mansion House and The Martha's Vineyard Times.
The tour culminated with a brief boat ride around Vineyard Haven Harbor followed by a round-table discussion at the Katharine Cornell Theater.
Town administrator Jay Grande, Tisbury selectmen Jeff Kristal, and Martha's Vineyard Commission economic development and affordable housing planner Christine Flynn joined the outing.
"This designation is something that could be very important for the town and for the local community, especially local businesses," Ms. Flynn told The Times.
As defined by the MCC, a cultural district is "a specific geographical area in a city or town that has a concentration of cultural facilities, activities, and assets. It is a walkable, compact area that is easily identifiable to visitors and residents and serves as a center of cultural, artistic and economic activity."
Communities must apply to the MCC's cultural districts program in order to be considered. To date, the program has designated 23 cultural districts throughout the state.
"It's a fairly comprehensive process," said Anita Walker, the MCC's executive director. "What's great about taking the walking tour is meeting the people involved and getting a sense of the community's support."
Following Thursday's site visit, Ms. Walker said the MCC will review Vineyard Haven's management plan, strategic goals, cultural assets, public infrastructure, and marketing plan.
A decision on the designation will be made as early as May 15.
If the Vineyard Haven plan is approved, the state will provide official signage that the town can post within the designated area. The Vineyard Haven Cultural District would have a searchable online presence among other designated districts on state-sponsored websites, and it would be included in marketing material.
The proposed cultural district would bind institutions like the Playhouse, the Bunch of Grapes, the library and the MV Film Center together with art galleries and local arts-related businesses (like designer boutiques and jewelers) into one unified area.
Oh boy. More publicity. More signs!
Thanks Tom, I am finally glad you are coming around! More publicity. More signs!
Please clean up the harbor from the steamship to the bridge on beach road! Am very glad Jeff K threw in the towel and hope Melinda will push for that clean up before anything else! Vineyard Haven is looking like Oak Bluffs did back in the day and is now the butt hole for the island and is a total embarrassment for being called the port town. Nobody wants to live or buy here anymore. We need better leadership! Byeeeeeeeeeee Jeff! One good thing though, Christine Todd didnt try to snatch up your seat for free!
the island we are so much island curtail strong one island year round strong.
The stiffest cultural district in MA. Where stiff people who have no culture other than consumerism walk around eating frozen yogurt all summer feeling scared and awkward when their children are drawn to a musician performing on the sidewalk.
So where in Vineyard Haven is this concentration of cultural facilities and activities?

You probably hammered Bioshock on either PC of Xbox 360 all weekend, but the FPS masters at Valve had no such luck; a ban has been imposed on them going anywhere near 2K's shooter until Half-Life: Episode Two and The Orange Box are finished and out the door.
"We had to ban Bioshock from our offices," Valve boss Gabe Newell told us. "Nobody gets to play it until Orange Box is done - that's our reward to ourselves as a company; everyone gets a copy of Bioshock."
Sounds it bit harsh to us; Bioshock isn't that long, Gabe.
"I haven't had a chance to play it. I'm really looking forward to it," Newell then admitted.
In case you've been living in some sort of East German convention town for the last week (cough), Bioshock, the spiritual successor to the critically acclaimed System Shock 2, is currently getting the kind of reception that only game of the year material could garner. We gave it an ample 9.5 last week - read our words here.
"Irrational is the latest example of people who've descended from the Id Software/Looking Glass family tree," continued Newell, counting his own company as one of the many that spindled from the Doom and System Shock legacy.
"Somebody should do a family tree of Id and Looking Glass and it might turn out that there's nobody left who isn't a descendent of those two companies." We wouldn't bet money against it.
Look for the full interview with Newell on Orange Box, Steam and Valve's eventful history shortly.
Orange Box is out on October 19 - try not to forget that, eh?

Boil the potatoes (with skins on) and the eggs until done. While the potatoes and eggs are cooking you can dice up the celery and onion into a fairly large bowl. Let the potatoes and eggs cool, then dice them up as well into the same bowl with the celery and onions. You can leave the skins on the potato if you like. Once everything is chopped you can mix it up with a 1/2 cup of miracle whip and a 1/2 cup of light mayo. Mix everything together and salt and pepper to taste. Lastly, add the vinegar and stir thoroughly and refrigerate until cool. I like mine very tangy so I put more vinegar depending on taste.

Any of the more than 3,500 plant species that make up the family Acanthaceae, of the mint order (Lamiales). Acanthus are found mostly in tropical and subtropical regions. Most are herbaceous plants or shrubs that grow in tropical rainforests; some are climbers (vines) or trees. Acanthus have simple leaves arranged in opposite pairs on the twigs and enlarged cells called cystoliths in streaks or protuberances in the vegetative parts. The bisexual flowers are bilaterally symmetrical and usually crowded together in clusters. Individual flowers are enclosed by leaflike bracts, which are often coloured and large. Acanthus are mainly of horticultural interest and include some ornamentals.

Completely private, immaculate and spacious contemporary home in exclusive Indian Lake with access to a private like and pond offering swimming, boating, and tennis. The house is situated in a sunny, restful wooded setting. The spacious great room offers a high vaulted ceiling, natural wood and glass for viewing the soaring trees and rushing stream. The gourmet kitchen has every convenience, and there is a scenic dining area. The huge deck runs the length of the back of the house and overlooks the brook, connecting with all of the rooms on the upper level. There is also a large screened porch and swing. The downstairs family room opens to another lower deck and has its own fireplace and game table. The three wood fireplaces provide a cozy setting, and the hot tub in the master bath is soothing after a day of hiking or skiing.
Keywords: Contemporary and comfortable home in private community with beautiful lake and tennis courts. Immaculate and luxurious, near all cultural attractions of the Berkshires.
Since my husband and I grew up in Texas, we have always yearned to be near trees and water. Finally we found the spot! I am a retired college teacher and administrator, and my husband is a minister and sculptor who has written 8 books. We enjoy having our family and friends at our home in Becket because we love the outdoors and the many cultural activities that are unique to the area. Our sons and grandchildren love fishing, boating, and swimming in our lake. The music at Tanglewood is my favorite. We enjoy traveling all of the U.S. including Hawaii, Europe, and Australia; but we always look forward to returning to Becket.
Carol McCollough purchased this house in 2003
Formerly we owned a vacation house on Cape Cod, but the traffic became too much for us. Listening to the stream beside our house brings us great peace. The cultural offerings of the Berkshires can't be beat. We never run out of things to enjoy. Our house is incredibly comfortable and easy to maintain. It has every convenience one can imagine and is well stocked with supplies. You really only need to bring your clothes and fishing rod or skis.
We can be at our house with total privacy and yet can have all of the activity we choose very nearby. The small towns of Lee, Great Barrington, Stockbridge, and Lenox are charming and provide unlimited good eating, shopping, and entertainment. We particularly enjoy Chesterwood and the studio of Daniel C. French, the Norman Rockwell Museum, and the Clark Institute. We enjoy everything from classical music with the BSO to Celtic fiddle nearby. There is also an art center right in Becket, along with a country store and an old quarry for hiking.
At long last we discovered your haven of solitude and beauty. Thanks for your generous welcome, which greeted in even in your absence. The gentle stirring of spring winds in the the first tender leaves of spring, the steady murmur of the stream, the vibrant light that fills the house at all hours -- a rare beauty, to be sure. Every blessing and with much gratitude.
Berkshire attractions include Tanglewood (summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra), Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, Shakespeare, Shaker Hancock Village, Mahaiwe Arts Center, Museums, Becket Arts Center, Lee Outlets, fishing and swimming and boating in nearby pond and lake

President Obama will announce what the White House describes as 'concrete' proposals to curb gun violence at an event on Wednesday where he will be surrounded by children who have written to him about gun violence.
Detailing the broad plan, which is expected to include elements that would require congressional approval and elements he can impose by executive order, could set the stage for the largest Congressional battle over gun legislation in nearly two decades.
Obama is reviewing the recommendations of Vice President Biden's task force, which were delivered to him on Monday.
One month after the deadly school shooting in Newtown, Conn., Obama has already promised to push for a renewal of the 1994 ban on some types of semiautomatic assault rifles, also known as the "assault weapons ban," legislation to expand background checks, and limits on high-capacity magazine clips.
"Will all of them get through this Congress? I don't know. But what's uppermost in my mind is making sure that I'm honest with the American people and with members of Congress about what I think will work, what I think is something that will make a difference," he told reporters Monday. "If there is a step we can take that will save even one child from what happened in Newtown, we should take that step."
The president is preparing to take action to halt gun violence with or without the help of Congress and more than a dozen executive actions are reportedly on the table.
Get more pure politics at ABCNews.com/Politics
"I'm confident that there are some steps that we can take that don't require legislation and that are within my authority as president. And where you get a step that has the opportunity to reduce the possibility of gun violence then I want to go ahead and take it," Obama said.
"How we are gathering data, for example, on guns that fall into the hands of criminals, and how we track that more effectively — there may be some steps that we can take administratively as opposed through legislation," he continued.
The most contentious items on the president's to-do list will require Congressional approval and are expected to face fierce opposition from gun rights groups, including the National Rifle Association which has already vowed to oppose efforts to limit access to guns and ammunition.
"My starting point is not to worry about the politics," Obama said Monday. "My starting point is to focus on what makes sense, what works; what should we be doing to make sure that our children are safe and that we're reducing the incidents of gun violence. And I think we can do that in a sensible way that comports with the Second Amendment."

Make sure to be humble and embrace the people around you to make your program a success.
I am showing my age, as 2013 marks my 25th year working in direct and digital marketing. The lessons that I have learned being a part of and building businesses through this time have enriched my life. If you know me or have followed me over the last 15 years when my role transitioned from practitioner to consultant and industry analyst, then you know I am all about sharing best practices. The ideas that I share are for the greater good in order to drive results today and to embrace the future in the aim of continuous improvement.
It has taken years for technology to mature to the point today that empowers all of us and our always-on, persistent connected society. If you are a reader of my column, you can likely identify with being a contributor to that connected society, but here I ask you to take this journey to see if you measure up as a connected company. That is, are you practicing connected marketing?
What do I mean by connected marketing? My firm has four major themes to our Connected Marketing Framework.
I have lived through and seen many things go right from planning to launch, and sometimes things crumble only to regroup and realign to make them a success. The most important message is to be humble and embrace the people around you to make your program a success. After all, if your technology should fail, who do you rely on? Your peers, the people. There is no silver bullet, every step to success is iterative and should teach you something.
May your next campaign launch be frictionless, and I bet it will be when you partner up with all of your other decision-makers and frontline customer experience marshals.
Let me know how you are building a connected marketing future. Until then, I wish you all the best successes.

UNH's Trevor van Riemsdyk goes pro with Blackhawks
The Chicago Blackhawks announced on Monday night that they have agreed with van Riemsdyk on a two-year free agent deal that begins at the start of the 2014-15 season. He will forego his final year of collegiate eligibility.
He had four goals and 19 assists for 23 points in 26 games for the Wildcats this year.
Trevor is the younger brother of James van Riemsdyk, who was the No. 2 pick in the 2007 NHL draft and played for UNH for two years before leaving for the Philadelphia Flyers. James now plays for the Toronto Maple Leafs and played for the United States in the Sochi Olympics last month.
"That's always a possibility with a player of that caliber," said UNH coach Dick Umile when asked on Sunday if he was concerned that van Riemsdyk might not be back. "We'll see how that all plays out."

In Gorbachev's Russia and outside of it the strength and scope of Russian nationalism is currently a subject of strenuous scholarly debate. The many and varied forms national ideology takes in Russian literature are the subject of this collection of essays. Over the past two hundred years Russians have used their literature to express both conformist and nonconformist views on the relationship between the individual and society and on Russian national destiny. Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Grossman, Tvardovsky, Rasputin, Zinovyev and others have taken diverse stands in regard to Russian nationalism, and their points of view are explored in this book. Several chapters offer suggestive overviews of nationalism's role in literature. The influence of Stalinist mentality on nationalism is also explored, as are the overt expressions of nationalist sentiments in the conditions of Gorbachev's glasnost. This book offers a rare insight into the present Soviet Russian literary scene, and it will help refocus future studies of Russian literature.

ASP.NET Web API does not provide any output caching capabilities out of the box other than the ones you would traditionally find in the ASP.NET caching module. Fortunately, Filip wrote a very nice library that you can use to decorate your Web API controller methods with an [OutputCaching] attribute, which is similar to the one you can find in ASP.NET MVC. This library provides a way to configure different persistence storages for the cached data, which uses memory by default. As part of this post, I will show how you can implement your own persistence provider for AppFabric in order to support distributed caching on web applications running on premises.
The first thing is to install AppFabric Caching. Wade Wegner wrote a very useful post describing all the required steps here.
Once AppFabric Cache is installed, you need to start the cluster and configure a new cache that will be used by our extension. Open up the Cache PowerShell console (Caching Administration Windows PowerShell in programs). Run the following command in the PowerShell console:
Create a new cache for our extension. Run the following command in the PowerShell console:
New-Cache OutputCache
At that point, we are ready to jump into the implementation of the extension. Before writing any code, we will use the AppFabric Caching client library, which is available as a Nuget package. You can find it in the repository under the name of "ServerAppFabric.Client". The library written by Filip provides an extension point for the persistence providers called IApiOutputCache, so we will have to implement that interface.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 |
This implementation is pretty straightforward and uses the AppFabric client library for getting or storing data in the cache. All the data is stored as part of a region, which groups all the entries together to facilitate management. The name of the cache is passed as part of the constructor, so it will be provided at the moment of instantiating and configuring this extension.
The following code shows how the extension is configured,
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
The name of the cache must be the same that we used before in the powershell console with the New-Cache command.
Finally, output caching can be configured in any existing controller using the [OutputCaching] attribute distributed with the Filip's library.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
The implementation of this provider is available as a separate project in GitHub.

What Would a Tesla-BMW Deal Look Like?
For Musk, vertical integration is not taboo. It is the opposite. It is religion.
Any automaker, let alone a foreign one such as BMW, would be extremely leery about engaging in a construction program along America's freeways, installing "BMW fueling stations for electric cars" in plain sight of every potential adversary. That's why when Tesla offers to do this for them it is like throwing the old automaker a lifeline.
So the case for an automaker such as BMW to take a supercharger deal with Tesla is pretty easy to make. The difficult one to explain is why Tesla would have any interest in entering into such a deal.
First, let's talk about money. It's obvious that a company such as BMW would have to pay Tesla for this. It could be structured in any of numerous ways, but it doesn't really matter in terms of Tesla's motivation. Tesla is not lacking for money. BMW might pay Tesla some sort of construction contribution, as well as usage fees when BMW cars utilize the network -- all very straightforward.
Basically, BMW would outsource this infrastructure project to Tesla. Outsourcing is good, especially for BMW in this case. It's like paying a maid or handyman instead of doing the work yourself. So if it's not that much about money, what's Tesla's primary motivation? Some will argue Musk is doing this out of the goodness of his shareholders' hearts, that he wants to change the world. There is probably some truth to that theory, but I don't think this means he will just roll over in a negotiation. Not at all. He wants something important from BMW. What is it? Tesla is very proud -- and rightfully so -- of its charging connector. Everyone would agree that it is more elegant than the competitive solutions. There is no way Tesla is going to change it. If Tesla can get the rest of the industry to somehow bend in its direction on the charging connector -- even if supplying existing BMWs with an adapter -- it would mean a huge principled win for Tesla. There are a variety of technical issues surrounding making non-Tesla cars work with Tesla's superchargers, many of which are well above my non-engineering pay grade. I have asked more knowledgeable people to speculate in terms of how this could be done, and there is simply no consensus on that subject.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Ladder operator
In linear algebra (and its application to quantum mechanics), a raising or lowering operator (collectively known as ladder operators) is an operator that increases or decreases the eigenvalue of another operator. In quantum mechanics, the raising operator is sometimes called the creation operator, and the lowering operator the annihilation operator. Well-known applications of ladder operators in quantum mechanics are in the formalisms of the quantum harmonic oscillator and angular momentum.
Theoretical significance and history[edit]
Quantum mechanics is concerned with discrete quanta. Angular momentum eigenstates of atoms are discrete. Raising and lowering operators serve as relations between these discrete states. Ladder operators have some practical uses as shorthand methods to generate possible states from given states. They have much deeper implications for theory because they can be used to show that discreteness of angular momentum exists even in classical physics[citation needed]. They can be used to show the superiority of formal quantum mechanics over old quantum theory.
This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (February 2012) |
Many sources credit Dirac with the invention of ladder operators.[1] Dirac's use of the ladder operators goes as far as to show that the total angular momentum quantum number , or actually , needs to be a non-negative half integer multiple of ħ. He also showed how the magnetic quantum number needs to run from to in integer steps of ħ. However, this is too general because is related to a rotation about the z-axis. It is non-intuitive that a full rotation does not return a system to itself (which is the reason the introduction of spin-½ was resisted at first). In order for a full rotation to return a system to itself, must be an integer multiple of ħ, not just half-integer. In order to account for this, we split the total angular momentum of the electron into the orbital component , which must obey the intuitive requirements of full rotation, and the intrinsic spin component , which is not required to do so. Once this split is made, we can easily apply physical intuition to the problem. The results, then, are in agreement with experiment.
The restriction on and to integer multiples of ħ was done by "H. E. Rorschach at the 1962 Southwestern Meeting of the American Physical Society."[2] There is also resistance to such a split, so that, in the same year, Merzbacher[3] derived the same boundary conditions from another angle of attack, the Aharonov–Bohm effect. The arguments and ladder operators themselves have been extended many times since, to deal with spin, and to generate more than just m for given l, but also to generate l.[4]
There is some confusion regarding the relationship between the raising and lowering ladder operators and the creation and annihilation operators commonly used in quantum field theory. The creation operator ai† increments the number of particles in state i, while the corresponding annihilation operator ai decrements the number of particles in state i. This clearly satisfies the requirements of the above definition of a ladder operator: the incrementing or decrementing of the eigenvalue of another operator (in this case the particle number operator).
Confusion arises because the term ladder operator is typically used to describe an operator that acts to increment or decrement a quantum number describing the state of a system. To change the state of a particle with creation/annihilation operators requires the use of an annihilation operator to remove a particle from the initial state and a creation operator to add a particle to the final state.
General formulation[edit]
Suppose that two operators X and N have the commutation relation,
for some scalar c. If is an eigenstate of N with eigenvalue equation,
then the operator X acts on in such a way as to shift the eigenvalue by c:
In other words, if is an eigenstate of N with eigenvalue n then is an eigenstate of N with eigenvalue n + c. The operator X is a raising operator for N if c is real and positive, and a lowering operator for N if c is real and negative.
If N is a Hermitian operator then c must be real and the Hermitian adjoint of X obeys the commutation relation:
In particular, if X is a lowering operator for N then X† is a raising operator for N and vice versa.
Angular momentum[edit]
A particular application of the ladder operator concept is found in the quantum mechanical treatment of angular momentum. For a general angular momentum vector, J, with components, Jx, Jy and Jz we define the two ladder operators, J+ and J–:[4]
where i is the imaginary unit.
The commutation relation between the cartesian components of any angular momentum operator is given by
where εijk is the Levi-Civita symbol and each of i, j and k can take any of the values x, y and z. From this the commutation relations between the ladder operators and Jz can easily be obtained:
The properties of the ladder operators can be determined by observing how they modify the action of the Jz operator on a given state:
Compare this result with:
Thus we conclude that is some scalar multiplied by ,
This illustrates the defining feature of ladder operators in quantum mechanics: the incrementing (or decrementing) of a quantum number, thus mapping one quantum state onto another. This is the reason that they are often known as raising and lowering operators.
To obtain the values of α and β we first take the norm of each operator, recognizing that J+ and J- are a Hermitian conjugate pair (),
- ,
- .
The product of the ladder operators can be expressed in terms of the commuting pair J2 and Jz,
Thus we can express the values of |α|2 and |β|2 in terms of the eigenvalues of J2 and Jz,
The phases of α and β are not physically significant, thus they can be chosen to be real and we have:[5]
Confirming that m is bounded by the value of j () we have:
Applications in atomic and molecular physics[edit]
Many terms in the Hamiltonians of atomic or molecular systems involve the scalar product of angular momentum operators. An example is the magnetic dipole term in the hyperfine Hamiltonian,[6]
Angular momentum algebra can often be simplified by recasting it in the spherical basis. Using the notation of spherical tensor operators, the "-1", "0" and "+1" components of J(1) ≡ J are given by,[7]
From these definitions it can be shown that the above scalar product can be expanded as
The significance of this expansion is that it clearly indicates which states are coupled by this term in the Hamiltonian, that is those with quantum numbers differing by mi = ±1 and mj = ∓1 only.
Harmonic oscillator[edit]
Another application of the ladder operator concept is found in the quantum mechanical treatment of the harmonic oscillator. We can define the lowering and raising operators as

If you're seriously curious, I can explain why I take the stance I do. I, of course, can't speak for everyone. What frustrates me is that there are artists here who put substantial effort into creating original, intelligent, edited designs that are so often over-looked. Many of these artists' styles, I do not like so it's not like a "I want my artists to win" kind of thing. Further, this designer has a history of stealing designs.ideas, not following the derby rules (sometimes blatantly ignoring them), and lacking any effort. This design, for example, is on topic but is nothing close to an original idea (see posts above for similar shirts). Further, there are blatant problems with the design itself like the perspective. And, it's just boring and looks exactly like 1/3 of his other designs. The other 2/3 are made up of swirlies and anime-like art. It gets really frustrating when a shirt like this prints ahead of other artists who have respect for both the community and art.

Kroenke Makes $227M Competing Bid For Outdoor
Sports Magnate Offers $8.75 Per Share For Network 3/04/2013 5:40 AM EasternDenver sports magnate Stan Kroenke's Kroenke Sports & Entertainment has made a competing offer for the Outdoor Channel, a deal which seems to trump an earlier agreement between the hunting and fishing network and Sportsman Channel parent InterMedia Holdings.
Kroenke Sports, which also owns regional sports network Altitude Sports and the World Fishing Network, offered $8.75 per share in cash for the outstanding stock of Outdoor Channel, a bid worth about $227 million that seems to far outpace InterMedia's $8 per share deal.
Outdoor Chanel stock surged on the news and was up 15.5% ($1.17 per share) to $8.72 each in early trading Monday.
In a statement issued March 4, Outdoor Channel said it had received an unsolicited, non-binding written proposal from Kroenke and that its board of directors believes the offer could be determined as superior to the InterMedia proposal.
In a research note, Nobel Financial analyst Michael Kupinski wrote that in his view, the Kroenke proposal "provides a legitimate alternative and could be viewed as a higher offer than InterMedia's offer."
In a letter to Outdoor Channel Monday, InterMedia asserted that its deal is still the better one.
"Our transaction, which can be consummated in less than two weeks, provides OUTD stockholders with a more attractive and valuable combination of cash today and stock in a much larger and more valuable enterprise." InterMedia said in the letter.
Outdoor had agreed to a complicated deal with InterMedia in November that would have created a separate publicly traded company – InterMedia Outdoor Holdings – and given shareholders the option of taking $8 in cash or stock in the new entity for their Outdoor shares.
Kroenke Sports & Entertainment is affiliated with The Kroenke Group, a private real estate investment and development company owned by Stan Kroenke. Kroenke also is the owner of the National Football League St. Louis Rams, the National Basketball Association Denver Nuggets, the National Hockey League Colorado Avalanche and Major League Soccer's Colorado Rapids. Kroenke, the majority shareholder in Barclays Premier League's Arsenal club, also owns and operates sports and entertainment venues in Colorado, including the Pepsi Center, Dick's Sporting Goods Park and the Paramount Theatre. In television, Kroenke owns Altitude Sports & Entertainment, a regional television network based in Denver, and 50% of World Fishing Network, which operates primarily out of the Altitude network operating center in Centennial, Colo.

Schwarzer laments Asian Cup timing
Mark Schwarzer is determined to achieve success with Australia at this month's Asian Cup but admitted leaving Fulham in the middle of their fight for Barclays Premier League survival was far from ideal.The Cottagers currently lie one point above the drop zone and boss Mark Hughes has already resigned himself to losing his number one keeper for the remainder of the month.Should Australia reach the final of the tournament that would mean Schwarzer will miss four Premier League games. The 38-year-old told Press Association Sport: "It is never ideal at this time of year to be missing Premier League games, especially with Fulham in the precarious situation they are in."In an ideal world I would like to have stayed but also play in this tournament. I want to be in two places at once."It would have been great if there was a window we could play this tournament in but unfortunately that is not the case. I have been here in the summer; it is not pleasant and not easy to play in so this is the logical time to play it and unfortunately it clashes with club football."

Rafael Benitez's band are travelling second class in Europe nowadays
They were lording it over the rest of Europe at the end of Rafa Benitez's first season in charge, but Liverpool will be given a stark reminder of their downgraded status when they step out against Unirea Urziceni at Anfield. Back in action: Fernando Torres Liverpool are no longer the subject of worldwide attention in the Champions League, and their demotion to the second rate Europa League will be watched by scaled-down audiences all round, with barely 40,000 expected at the ground and Five's viewing figures hardly likely to match those of Sky and ITV over the past two nights. Benitez did his best to paint the last-32 tie in a positive light but still could not help casting an eye towards next season's Champions League as he derided the idea of a play-off for the final qualifying spot. 'We already play too many games in too many competitions and it leads to too many injuries,' he said. 'So what are we to do? Play even more games? It doesn't make any sense and I don't know how or when you could possibly fit those games in. 'How would Aston Villa feel if they finished fourth and had to play Birmingham, who were 20 points behind them in seventh? Probably the same as we would feel if we were fourth and found we had to play Everton in seventh. It would be a mess. 'Someone has to analyse carefully what they are saying before they try to make things more exciting for television. If you finish fourth, you deserve your place in the Champions League.' Anfield will tonight be a couple of thousand below its European capacity, despite ticket prices being trimmed by £6 in an attempt to offset the negligible appeal of a Romanian team whose only recognisable name departed last month when former Chelsea defender Dan Petrescu quit as manager. Benitez conceded Liverpool's players and supporters may struggle to replicate the Anfield atmosphere that has contributed to so many great European nights. Asked whether motivation levels would be as high as against Real Madrid or Barcelona, the Liverpool manager replied: 'It is difficult to say. All I know for sure is that today's training was really good. Everyone was focused on giving their all. Up for the (second rate) Cup: Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez 'If we can play well and make a positive start, everyone will be behind us. But we may have to be patient, because Unirea are very good defensively and play on the counter, so it will not be open. It may not be a game everyone will enjoy watching. 'The ball won't be going from one box to the other. Always the relationship between the players and fans is really good. People can be critical of this competition, but it is Europe and it is a trophy, and those two things are very important to this club. I will be putting out a strong side.' Enlarge Marvelling at Wayne Rooney's match-winning flair for Manchester United against AC Milan on Tuesday reminded Benitez how sorely he has missed Fernando Torres, after injury sidelined the £21million striker for much of the group stage. He said: 'It is difficult trying to manage when numbers are reduced, but when it is someone like Torres it makes a massive difference. You think what he can do and realise the impact it has.'

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Back when editing was much more difficult and expensive, planning was an absolute necessity. Now that we can all edit on our laptops with programs like Premiere Elements, sometimes the planning step gets thrown right out the window, and editors like to dive right into the footage in the editing program. I actually think that this is a big mistake. I also think that many of the traditional steps like planning your edit really help to have a smooth and effective workflow. If you remember that list of bites that we made, that's absolutely going to become one of the main ingredients to this planning process.
From the list of all the bites, I'm going to start to refine by eliminating some that I just don't think I'm going to use in the piece. I'm also going make a similar list of those main types of B-roll that I organized. Again, this might be taking place on a piece of notebook paper or on a big white-board or really any method that works for you. The final step is to place these types of shots in relation to each other and preliminarily design how my edit is going to work.
Here you see that I've structured in a timeline fashion the different scenes of the B-roll with the different bites that I think will work well with them. Now I can use this organized image as a roadmap when I start to do my editing. Although today it's possible to skip steps like planning, I really don't recommend it. The advantage of this approach is it allows you to make some preliminary decisions, so you can go into the editing process with a guideline.

"She's going to think it's hilarious. That's my Father Guido Sarducci prediction," says the rap prince of the Twin Cities, laughing into the phone from somewhere in Los Angeles. "She's going to know me and love me. She's going to be my übergroupie. She's going to be my Winona Ryder."
Female fixations are the norm for Slug, aka Sean Daley. Atmosphere's last record, Lucy Ford/The Atmosphere EPs, dealt almost exclusively with the MC's problematic relationships with women -- most notably, his former love. Despite the pain that the subject matter may have caused him, the record validated Atmosphere's standing in the indie-rap world. Its popularity extended to the many critics who put Lucy Ford on their 2000-2001 best-of lists. Luckily for Slug's sanity, Atmosphere's new joint finds the rapper in a much better head space than the one he was in when he recorded Lucy Ford. Instead of duplicating what he calls the "Oh-a-girl-hurt-him" type of rap, Slug and producer/partner Ant (Anthony Davis) work a variety of angles this time around.
"The last record was like, 'I'm a confused little boy in a big world,' whereas when we made this, we were just like, 'We're two little boys trying to have fun in a confused world," Slug says. The last record, he adds, "dealt with one particular issue that I didn't get a chance to clear up." On God Loves Ugly, the pair explored "a more diverse range of topics and made songs that were actually fun for us to listen to. We realized we don't have to take ourselves so serious, because we're not that serious."
Listening to Slug, you sometimes get the sense that you've stumbled onto an episode of The Twilight Zone set in a rap universe. The album abounds in the same kind of deadpan humor that first surfaced on Atmosphere's 1998 debut, Overcast! "Hair," for example, features a hijinks-happy narrative wherein the narrator -- a thinly disguised Slug -- finally falls for a groupie wannabe, even after explaining to her that "bands like us don't get groupies/I mean, have you heard our songs?" On the way to her apartment, they hit a pickup truck and both die. Elsewhere, his tracks take on a confessional air and sound as though the MC is in the midst of a self-analytical therapy session. Songs such as "Fuck You Lucy" come across as honest attempts to exorcise the demons -- and the ex-girlfriend -- that torment him. Slug says that track is a "response to the fact that I've allowed myself to become so obsessed with one particular food group. I had to quit being so excessive and get on with my life."
When he's not diving into comedy or matters of the heart, Slug, like many of his indie counterparts, seeks refuge in the ideals and sounds of hip-hop's past. On tracks such as the catchy "Modern Man's Hustle," he and Ant present an old-school vibe that takes listeners back to a time when MCs could enjoy rapping without putting on some tough-guy, screwface front. Ant's Superfly-smooth beats perfectly complement Slug's tone when he raps, "I will love you through the simple and the struggle/But girl, you got to understand the modern man's hustle."
Likewise, on "Blame Game," the two-man crew conjures a feel that's as familiar and fresh as a pair of shell-toed Adidas. Slug name-checks the legendary Juice crew and, in the style of those Queens legends, slays underground backpack fiends who always complain about the state of hip-hop. "This supposed to be the new school/Your guns are aimless and your songs are nameless," he raps on the track.
"That was kind of just like an ode to old-school shit," Slug explains. "Lyrically, it was kind of like a dis to my peers, where everybody's like, 'Oh, fucking hip-hop sucks,' and everybody's got something or someone to blame for it sucking. To me, it's a feel-good song about making fun of people that complain so much about not feeling good about what they're doing."
Despite such feel-goodisms, Slug isn't about to start some Up With People-type of movement within rap. (He's more likely to start Slugs Anonymous, where members swill beer and bond over coming to terms with their own ugliness. His line "I wear my scars like the rings on a pimp," from "God Loves Ugly," could serve as the club's inspirational motto.) The rapper still has plenty of bile to hurl. It's just that, right now, life is pretty good.
"Oh, man, I think I've gotten more respect than I deserve," he says. "That was the whole concept behind God Loves Ugly -- like, the fact that me and Ant have come this far is proof that God fucking loves ugly."
