It's okay, Zaha, building is a tricky game: Starchitecture that has struggled to keep it together
When a huge piece of a starchitect-designed building comes crashing to the ground, the architectural world tends to notice. We are of course talking about the recent reaction to the 176-pound piece of concrete that fell off Zaha Hadid's Library and Learning Centre at Vienna University of Economics and Business. Making matters worse for Hadid, this is the second time the building has shed a piece of its skin. But Zaha is not alone; shed(-ding) happens.
Los Angeles' sustainability chief talks going green in SoCal
Friday, January 23, 2015
Anna Bergren Miller.
Thanks in no small part to the local AEC industry, Los Angeles is a leader in sustainability in several areas, notably green building. But there is still room for improvement, said Matt Petersen, former president and CEO of Global Green USA. Petersen would know: he's the city's first Chief Sustainability Officer, appointed by Mayor Eric Garcetti as part of a broader administrative overhaul. "The mandate the mayor gave me was to build on the great things Los Angeles is already doing, and to put forward a vision for sustainability in the city," explained Petersen.
Pictorial> Take a walk along New York City's starchitect-lined High Line
Friday, January 23, 2015
Henry Melcher.
If you haven't been up on the High Line recently, or perhaps ever–looking at you Mayor de Blasio–then you've been missing out on some big new projects from architecture's biggest names–we're talking about your Hadid's, your Foster's, your Piano's, and your Kohn Pedersen Fox's.
Governor Cuomo proposes AirTrain to LaGuardia, but would it actually help?
Day One: New Yorkers rejoice as their governor, Andrew Cuomo, announces his intent to bring AirTran service to LaGuardia Airport. Day Two: Well-respected transportation blog The Transport Politic digs into the $450 million plan and shreds apart some of its ambitious goals, namely the time savings it takes to get to the airport. Using the LaGuardia AirTran would actually be a less convenient way to get to the airport than the slow and unreliable options that currently exist.
Thom Mayne fires back about Bradbury House destruction: "It's not our responsibility."
By now you've likely heard about Thom Mayne's destruction of Sci-Fi author Ray Bradbury's storybook 1937 home in Los Angeles' Cheviot Hills neighborhood. Mayne and his wife Blythe yesterday talked to KCRW's Frances Anderton to try to set the record straight.
The Architecture Billings Index ends 2014 in positive territory
Back in November, we told you how Taylor Swift's hit song "Shake It off" perfectly summed up how we should feel about the Architecture Billings Index's disappointing showing from the month before. Sure, the ABI's momentum had slowed to 55.2 in October, but since any score above 50 indicates an increase in billings, we could just shake off any negativity. Now with 2014 gone, how did the Index shape up through the end of the year?
Flood-Proof and Floating: Architects unveil open-source plans for a prefab "Floating House"
In an effort to reduce the cost of housing even further, this prefabricated home proposal ditches the cost of a traditional lot entirely. The houseby UK-based Carl Turner Architects doesn't need one—it floats.
Wrecking Keck & Keck? Chicago preservationists target North Shore landmark ordinance
One of the Chicago area's last remaining homes by brothers and modernist architects George Frederick and William Keck faces likely demolition later this year, despite a long-running preservation campaign to save it.
Are London's Paolozzi underground mosaics to be destroyed?
In October on a visit to London, friends mentioned that Eduardo Paolozzi's early 1980 tile mosaics in the Tottenham Court tube station were going to be demolished. I diverted a Northern Line trip from Bank Street to the Charing Cross branch of the line and and walked through the Tottenham Station taking poorly lit iPhone images of the threatened mosaics. Paolozzi was a founding member of the English Independent Group and as an important early pop artist. His tube station artworks are a colorful and bright addition to a public space that is usually generic and often downright lifeless and boring.
With some help from Gensler, ASLA to turn its headquarters into the Center for Landscape Architecture
The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has tapped Gensler and landscape architecture firm Oehme van Sweden to turn its Washington, D.C. headquarters into the state-of-the-art Center for Landscape Architecture. ASLA bought its 12,000-square-foot home in 1997 for $2.4 million and watched as its value increased to $6.9 million. Since the building was about ready for some fixing up, the society decided it was a good time to go ahead and truly transform it at a cost of $4 million.

Breast reconstruction is a type of plastic surgery carried out on women. The practice involves the removal of all or a part of the breast. The main reason of plastic surgery is to mold the breast to its original shape and size after mastectomy or lumpectomy.
Mastectomy is when the breast of a woman is fully removed while lumpectomy is partial removal of some part of the breast with cancer.However, decision to have reconstruction is always made by the individual. Before undergoing the procedure, information is provided to make sure a woman understand every fact or word used during the process.
Well, several plastic surgery techniques are used during the process of reconstruction. However, the results are usually highly variable. For instance, the new breast will lose the normal feeling and sensation of the original breast. The incisions lines are always visible and present on the breast. More often one breast is usually affected in case of mastectomy or lumpectomy. In such a case breast symmetry is paramount .To maintain symmetry a breast argumentation, lift, or reduction is necessary to the opposite breast to ensure the size and position of both breast is equal.
Before plastic surgeons carry on with the process, they ensure you have made the decision on your own merit. The fact being the procedure is highly individualized and the decision should be made by the individual but not because they want to fulfill someone else desire.
It is good to have breast reconstruction if
- You are capable of dealing with diagnosis and treatment
- No illnesses or medical conditions that may delay your healing process
- You will be able to deal with the consequences of the procedure
- The goals of restoring body image ad breast are positive and realistic.
Before undergoing the process of breast reconstruction, the consultation stage is very vital. This is aimed at ensuring the whole process is safe and successful. During the consultation, various questions are mused regarding your lifestyle, health and your desires. You will discuss
- Options available
- The outcome, associated risk and any potential complication that may arise during and after the procedure.
- Previous surgeries
- Reasons for the surgery, desired and expected results
- Medical conditions or treatment and any drug allergy
- Use of tobacco, alcohol, herbal supplement or medication
Before breast reconstruction, procedure is performed; medical evaluation and laboratory tests are done to ensure the candidate is qualified for the surgery. If taking herbal supplements, aspirin, or anti-inflammatory drugs they are avoided as they increase bleeding during surgery. Instructions are given regarding what to do during and after breast reconstruction, use of anesthesia and follow-up and pre-operative care
The actual procedure is comprised of various steps. All the steps are performed by a qualified plastic surgeon under ultimate care to ensure the whole procedure is successful. After surgery, healing process commences and it may take several weeks. It is paramount to follow all the instructions given during the healing process. As healing takes place breast position and shape improves.
The results of breast reconstruction have benefits. First, they will help improve self-esteem and confidence, second, physical appearance is improved after mastectomy and finally, woman feels and looks complete again.

Wilen Group — Adapting To the Times
April 2007 By Erik CagleSenior Editor
Take the Wilen Group, a family owned and operated company based on Long Island, NY. Founded in 1972 as a publishing firm from the basement of Richard Wilen's house, the company quickly made a name for itself as a publisher for the cable television industry and an original vendor to the cable TV circuit. In fact, it produced the first HBO guide in 1973.
When the pay-per-view craze hit in the late 1980s, Wilen Group took the lead in producing booklets for that sector, as well. At its peak, the company churned out more than 12 million cable books that populated thousands of cable systems throughout the country.
But when the Internet age began to rear its head, it didn't take Nostradamus to predict a change in the future for the printed TV guide.
"The transition was simple. It was either evolve or perish," notes Darrin Wilen, son of the company's founder and president of Wilen Group. "We were facing extinction. We specialized in the in-the-bill cable guide business, but then more clients were paying their bills through credit cards and not receiving a bill, or paying their bills online. In-the-bill messaging or marketing had matured, as well."
The reaction has been equally appropriate and highly effective. The company evolved, bringing previously outsourced printing in-house, with a dedicated division—Wilen Press—based in Deerfield Beach, FL. Headed by Kevin Wilen, Darrin's brother, Wilen Press recently added its third web offset press, a six-color Goss M-110 with in-line finishing capabilities that went live in February.
Sprouting New Wings
Wilen Media, based at the parent locale of Farmingdale, NY, has sprouted a new set of wings, taking its marketing messaging from bill insertable communications to another level as a vertically integrated agency, providing brand strategies, direct marketing, custom publishing, advertising, promotions, digital and Web database management, media planning and buying, and brand identity.
A new feature, W3, is a Web browser-based tool that allows users to log in, create and send creative on-demand, track progress and run reports related to multiple mailing campaigns.
What pleases clients most is Wilen Group's evolution into a full-service, fully integrated marketing services provider. Wilen takes over at the beginning stages, all the way through providing consumer insights, marketing plan development, design, printing, fulfillment, logistics and data services.
"Naturally, clients were looking to send out messaging by direct mail," Darrin Wilen says. "Plus, our clients have a lot more to say. So they were finding static space and needed to break out. Being able to use big pictures and effects was a natural extension for us. Because we vertically integrate, we're able to provide one bundled price, which is a lot less than if customers go to a myriad of different agencies.
"When a customer needs a million direct mail pieces, we go from the initial creative to home delivery within days," he adds. "That includes all design, logistics, printing, imaging and mailing."
The company has come a long way since its days in Richard's basement. At heart, it still provides marketing-based solutions for the entertainment industry, including cable television. But it also boasts an impressive client roster for the publishing and retail segments. And Wilen Press, originally positioned to address the needs of Wilen Media, has blossomed into commercial printing and produces catalogs, magazines, brochures, bill inserts and, of course, direct mail.
The growth is certainly reflected in Wilen Group's vital statistics. The company has 200 employees, 130 based at the 90,000-square-foot facility in Florida, which recently garnered a new 25,000-square-foot addition. Combined sales exceed $40 million, which also includes WILopEN Products, a 2002 spinoff that provides specialty products for direct marketing and retail needs.
Now at the age of 10, Wilen Press doesn't appear to be suffering from growing pains. With the new web press, Kevin Wilen notes the firm is in the process of incorporating Kodak Versamark inside/outside ink-jet print heads; previously, personalization capability was limited to the outside of the printed piece.
"Our digital output is more data-driven imaging, with the ability to address one-to-one marketing on a high-volume basis," he adds.
What enables Wilen Group to be a true concept to destination provider is its ability to monitor mailed pieces through the use of PlanetCode, the USPS mail tracking service. Wilen's real-time information allows customers to anticipate in-home delivery, which can be invaluable for response-driven campaigns that may require additional staffing for call centers.
The tracking system, as Yogi Berra might say, really works when it's not working. A few days into a recent mailing, Kevin Wilen recalls, the printer noticed it wasn't getting any scans from the post office. After a short investigation by the USPS, it was learned that the mail had been dropped off by the freight company, but had sat in a corner, untouched, at the post office. The USPS quickly moved the load through the mail stream and still made the in-home date.
Software Differentiator
The W3 software has been a real differentiator for Wilen Group, providing key statistical analysis for all who need to know within a given customer's heirarchy. From projected in-home date, response rates and all other tale-of-the-tape information germane to a mailing campaign—or many campaigns—the real-time software "allows us to be more of a partner with customers," Darrin Wilen explains.
He says the addition of mailing and database management came naturally. "With telemarketing, the Internet and spam filters, the clients had a natural progression to start direct marketing. But they wanted to get more bang for their buck, so the data management side was a natural extension.
"Our customers could find out which of their customers had a higher or lower propensity to buy. Once identified, we were able to focus our customers' spending and marketing tactics on only those clients, and they were able to get much higher ROI with their print and marketing projects.
"The more we would do, the more success the customers have, the deeper we would go into (data). We helped navigate many of our client customers into data modeling and segmenting by leveraging more than simple demographic data. We hit them with convergence of demo and psychographic data that really helped get an extra lift in ROI."
Managing growth in a chaotic environment will be the key to Wilen Group's future. For a company that evolved when change threatened its very existence, that shouldn't be a problem. PI

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 emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

On July 8, the independent Al-Rai al-Aam daily carried the following
editorial: a**With every passing day, the intensity of the feverish
competition between Washington and Tehran over the Iraqi a**cakea** is
increasing. The two enemy countries are trying to expand their authority
and not to leave the Iraqi arena to the other foe especially with the
launching of the countdown for the deadline of the pullout of the American
forces from Iraq according to the bilateral agreement signed between
Baghdad and Washington at the end of 2008.
a**This competition grew fiercer when it became clear to the United States
that its authority in Iraq has regressed in the face of the Iranian
authority, which took several forms such a tourism and economy according
to some Iraqi politicians who consider that the American presence is less
a**evila** than the power of their countrya**s eastern neighbor.
a**The image of this competition became clear lately through the visit of
the Iranian Vice President, Mohammad Reza Rahimi, last Wednesday. This
date was planned to be that of the visit of the American Vice President,
Joe Biden, who is also the man in charge of the Iraqi file in the White
House Administration. However, this visit did not take place for
undisclosed reasons by the embassy of Washington in Baghdad.
a**Biden is expected to visit Iraq soon with the aim of pushing the Iraqi
leaders to agree on extending the presence of a part of his countrya**s
forces [in Iraq] and also in order to focus on the future of the American
presence in this countrya*|
a**In addition, this competition - that some sides are likening to an
a**indirect battlea** - had taken a diplomatic direction when both
countries were quick to open consulates in the different Iraqi
governorates. In the Kurdistan territory, both sides have consulates and
commercial offices. America also opened other consulates in Kirkuk,
Ninawa, and Basra. Meanwhile, Iran opened consulates in Basra and Karbala.
a**The Americans are doing their best in order to pressure the Iraqis into
extending the presence of their forces; while the Iranians are pushing in
the direction of convincing their Iraqi counterparts to reject the
extension of the presence of the American forcesa*|
a**On the commercial level, the scale is tilting towards Iran at the
expense of America because the Iranian companies are present in the Iraqi
market and are powerfully operating in several regions; while the American
activities in this field are very scarce and cannot be compared to the
Iranian activities.
a**The Iraqi point of view concerning this competition is split to two.
Those who fear the Iranian power over the internal Iraqi affairs believe
that this power will bring additional complications to the general
situation in their countrya*| Meanwhile, the political forces close to
Iran welcome the rapprochement with the eastern neighbor and believe that
the strengthening of the relations with their ally represents a part of
the Iraqi political theory consisting of a bilateral polarity between Iraq
and the neighboring countriesa*|" - Al-Rai al-Aam, Kuwait

Dead or Alive: Dimensions
Question from jbl8199
How do I defeat Omega in Tag Challenge 18?
This guy is pretty close to impossible to beat, even with my best character. I can barely get near him because he throws those projectiles at me, then when I can hit him, I don't even damage him that much. He counters just about every move I try to do on him, and on top of that, he kills you in a few hits. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
4 years ago
Accepted Answer
Block his projectiles and wait for him to do a dash attack.
Block the dash attack and attack him.
You're partner can be a douche and switch you out, causing them to commit suicide.
You need your partner so you can recover from his grabs.
4 years ago
I used one strategy. You can easily block those attacks and so by blocking them you give your partner to heal his/her wounds. Switch between your characters and do little damage at a time till he dies. I hope this helps.
4 years ago
First use Genra as your tag partner, he has a tendency to spam his projectiles putting space between you and the enemy while allowing ample time to recover health and chipping away decent amounts of enemy health. Second omega will spam his projectiles ad nuseum, allowing ample time to allow your partner to recover health. Third I recommend using a character with a strong knock back like Ayane, goad Omega into doing his lance charge then use the knock back after the attack. It will take a few minutes, but it will definitely work.
Lastly the tag partner does not randomly swap in and out, they swap in when your health falls below about 1/3 and you can control when you swap back in with the Hold button.

As we made our way back to Los Angeles, we learned that this car is, however, terrific to drive. There's plenty of grip underneath you, especially with the optional, dry-weather, nineteen-inch tires in place (a run-flat design, just like the standard eighteen-inch tires). BMW's Active Roll Stabilization works so well that it can fool you into underestimating the car's cornering speeds. The 6-series has a wheelbase 4.3 inches shorter than a 5-series sedan's, as well as a lower ride height and a lower center of gravity, so it's responsive, but wide rear tires provide so much grip that the front of the car always lets go first, when the latest-8.0-version of BMW's stability control is engaged. Turn it off, push the car really hard, and you can slide it around, but only the bravest should apply.
This 4189-pound car is as long as a 5-series sedan, so it drives like a big car, not a small one. With the optional Sport package in place, there are three different shift schedules available when the transmission is in drive, in addition to manu-matic, helping the ragtop 6-series get from 0 to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds. The steering is less lively than it should be, as if the engineers had spent too much time on steering action but not enough on steering feel.
Finally, Michael Desmond cleared it all up for us. A young designer just leaving Mitsubishi to do automotive projects for Jesse James's West Coast Choppers, Desmond appreciates the sheer energy of the 6-series. "There are things that might be resolved a bit better," he says, "but I wonder if the car would have the same visual snap if they were."
Desmond says that BMWs have always had a look of amazing stability because they are so wide on their tires and then narrow and become lighter in construction toward the top. A BMW looked like a streamlined brick on wheels, leading with its chin as it went down the highway. In contrast, the body sides of the newest-generation BMWs are virtually upright, and the greenhouses have very little tumblehome, so the cars look large and upright in comparison.
What Desmond likes most about the new BMW look is the way it challenges expectations. "Design is a journey," he reminds us. "And we have to wait to see where this will take us." He also says that the way the car drives is crucial. "What makes me buy into the look is the engineering. As long as this is the ultimate driving machine, then I'm willing to go along for the ride with the style."
The 6-series convertible is a driver's car, but it is also a large car. It reminds us that this is not the company of the BMW 2002 any longer. BMW now has such a large constituency, it is searching for ways to keep everyone in the family.
When you see one of the new BMWs, it's like walking into an art gallery. You feel challenged, as if your personality were being tested. Indeed, it is being tested. These are art cars, not mere consumer products designed to have an appealing appearance. Bangle-designed cars ask whether you have the cojones to be a BMW owner or whether you'd rather have a rolling wristwatch.
And yet, despite the style question, the bottom line for all the new BMWs remains the same as always: driving pleasure. BMW enthusiasts fear that this character has been lost with the heavily styled Bangle cars, but the 6-series convertible gives us a driving experience that Cadillac, Jaguar, Lexus, and even Mercedes-Benz can't match. Maybe we should all stop worrying so much and just drive.

RANCHI: Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) on Saturday released the model question paper for intermediate examination to be held in 2013. Some important changes have been made in the question paper pattern this year which will help students score better in the examination.
JAC chairperson, Anand Bhushan, said, "We have brought in a couple of changes in the question papers of 20 subjects, this time. The major changes have been brought in English paper, as many students of JAC board find it tough to answer."
Till date, there used to be two reading comprehensions in English for 20 marks in which two questions were asked from each comprehension. According to the changes brought in, now there will be only one comprehension for 20 marks from which four questions will be asked. Also instead of passages, given to identify grammatical errors, separate sentences will be provided.
Bhushan also said the number of questions in few subjects, such as political science and history, will be reduced as they make the test lengthy.
Bhushan has invited suggestions from parents and teachers for any changes that can be brought in the examination pattern. "People can send in their suggestion to JAC by November 10. The question papers are uploaded at our website and anybody can visit the website and go through them," he said.
When the model question papers of matriculation were released a month ago, Bhushan invited suggestions from parents and teachers but none of the suggestions reached JAC. Bhushan said, "As no advice came in, we would implement the model paper that was originally released. People will have to be conscious about the examination pattern and should give their suggestions as it will benefit the students."
Explaining the reason behind the lack of reaction from people about the new pattern, Principal of Zila School, Mahant Dubey, said, "The problem is that question papers were uploaded only on the internet and still many people, especially in the rural areas, do not have access to the internet. In such a situation, people can't go through the question papers to give their suggestions."

VARANASI: Are the missing teeth and loose dentures making you sit on the sideline of life and miss out your smile and favourite food? There is no need to rush to big cities to get a fixed denture for your missing teeth. The modern technique of dental implants to replace a failing or missing tooth or fixed dentures (removable and non removable) is now available in the city at faculty of dental sciences, Sir Sunder Lal ( SSL) Hospital, Banaras Hindu University (BHU). According to Dr Farhan Durrani, who has been making fixed dentures on implants since 2006, it is the treatment is first of kind available in East Uttar Pradesh.
According to Dr Durrani, the technique involves preparing fixed denture on implant and fixed replacement of teeth in edentulous mouth, meaning implants are drilled in no teeth situation in the bone of the mouth, followed by attaching teeth or crown or denture as per the requirement. "After the entire process, the patient gets a natural tooth or crown or denture according to the need," adds Dr Durrani.
According to him, the most popular requirement is the need of fixed dentures specially among old age people, the implants are positioned just below the gum tissue of the patient and given time to fuse with bone, by that time temporary abutments may be placed on the implants until the healing phase is complete. After that the patient is fitted with a custom-made bar that attaches to the implants to support a new denture. The new denture will have attachments which snap or clip it into place. The new teeth are then firmly supported by the jaw.
"In such cases, the patient will be able to remove the denture (implant supported prosthesis- removable) easily for cleaning. Dentures to not move or get misplaced while eating anything as hard as nuts," says Dr Durrani who is also a fellow of International Congress of Oral Implantology (USA) and Indian Society of Oral Implantology (India). "However, if patient does not like removing and attaching of denture and is wishing to have permanent non removable dentures, the final step of the treatment changes slightly where the patient is fitted with a custom bridge that screws directly into the implants and screw holes are covered after insertion. This kind of denture (implant supported prosthesis-fixed) remains non removable and can be cleaned by brushing of teeth just like a normal person," adds Dr Durrani who will be awarded fellowship in International Association of Orthodontists (USA) in Puerto Rico in 2012.
The treatment is quite expensive due to costly implants and Rs 25,000 to Rs 50,000 has to be spent according to the need, number of implants, kind of denture (removal or non removable). "The treatment is getting applause in big cities and many people have availed the opportunity to retain their appearance and health after the removal of the teeth," says Dr Durrani. "Having mouth bone is necessary of dental implants, if not one is very old to retain the mouth bone, techniques like bone crafting are applied. Your dentist can determine if you are a candidate for dental implants after evaluating your dental health and medical history," informs the doctor.

I have tried both Viking Bold & Klapøjster Mjød by Dansk Mjød A/S. I found the Klapøjster Mjød more to my liking. From the Danish website I found that the Klapøjster Mjød is made from honey, water, spices; and, in addition, they add brandy, which increases the alcohol content to 21.8% ABV (Viking Blod is 19% ABV) - mixing mead and brandy is an old Danish custom. I was fairly certain that the Klapøjster "spices" was caraway seed (something the Danes are quite fond of), and decided to make a Klapøjster clone, which is now in its 33rd week of clearing. So far the taste is comparable...
Visit me at the Brew Brothers
Would you be so kind as to share that reciepe? I have an empty 3 gal carboy needing to be filled. Thanks Don "Ho"
Bottled & Drinking: Cherry Mead Working: Soon to be determined Planned: Blackberry Mead
BrewsCampbell according to the websitehttp://www.bunitedint.com/portfolios...d/overview.php they sell viking blod at premier gourmet in kenmore
The caraway metheglin "port" sounds great. I'd love to try my hand at it. Is the brandy added to stop fermentation at a certain spot and halt the yeast due to alcohol toxicity? Thanks!
thanks hightest, Still new at this, so all the different receipies/experminets help me understand what I can and cannot do.. I promise that I wont come back and haunt you if it doesnt work for me.. Will be starting mine tomorrow and will let you know how it works. Thanks Don "Ho"
I haven't seen or tried this mead but it sounds great & I will be seeking it out. If trying to clone the recipe I wonder if a similar hibiscus flavor could be accomplished by adding Red Zinger Tea which is made with hibiscus and brews tea of a red hue. I have seen and made meads that use other varieties of tea for tannin & flavor.
"I do not love the bright sword for it's sharpness, nor the arrow for it's swiftness, I love only that which they defend.

Ottawa Senators (1-0-0)
@Buffalo Sabres (0-2-0)
Friday, October 04
First Niagara Center
Attendance: 19,070
Buffalo, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Erik Karlsson tallied the game-winning goal with 1:35 left to lift the Ottawa Senators to a 1-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Friday.
Clarke MacArthur found Karlsson with an incredible cross-ice pass and Karlsson blasted a wrister pass Ryan Miller for the game-winner.
Craig Anderson stopped all 35 shots he faced in the win.
Miller made 45 saves in the setback, Buffalo's second straight to begin the season.
Ottawa controlled the puck from the start, firing off 23 unsuccessful shots in the first period. The Sens' best scoring opportunity came early in the first as Karlsson fired a slap shot through heavy traffic, but Miller located the disc at the last second and turned it away.
The Senators also fought off four power plays throughout the contest, including a two-man disadvantage in the second session.
With the clock winding down in the final period, Zemgus Girgensons fired a shot from the right wing, but Anderson made an incredible glove save with 2:07 to play to preserve the tie.
The Senators eventually took over and MacArthur skated into the Buffalo zone. Along the left boards, he faked a backhand feed, turned, and blasted a pass across the ice to Karlsson, who was crashing the net.
Karlsson took the pass and fired a wrist shot over Miller's left leg.
Anderson held off the Sabres' offensive attack the rest of the way to seal the win.

I use blackout curtains over the windows as well as open doorways leading to the main room. Doing the day time they get me about 75% of the room darkness when compared to night time movie watching. I also use them to cut out glare doing day time tv watching. It has worked greatly to my advantage. Issues with day light glare is the main reason I got a 50 inch plasma tv a few months ago to replace a 40 inch rp tv monitor. Using both I got an increase of 100% movie watching pleasure.
Primary tabs
How Well Can You Control Ambient Daylight In Your Home Theater?
Of course, any room can be made dark at night simply by turning off the lights. But if you watch during the day in a room with windows, sliding glass doors, skylights, or other transparent/translucent openings to the outside world, you need black-out shades or other coverings to darken the room, which might or might not be practical for one reason or another.
I'm curious to know if this is a big problem among our readers. How well can you control the ambient daylight in the room you use as a home theater? I'd also love to know how you control ambient daylight. Blackout shades? A windowless room? If you have a front projector, do you use an ambient-light-rejecting screen?
Vote to see the results and leave a comment about your choice.
for my main windows, which reside directly behind my couch so I'd get a nasty reflection off my plasma if they weren't there, not to mention the excess light in the room. The only light that will enter the room is from the adjacent dining room. I'm contemplating putting up a curtain here so that I can totally black-out the room, but haven't been too compelled to do that yet.
This picture makes my neck hurt.
I've got an LCD (Sony KDL-52EX700) with a matte-ish screen. It will still show some ambient light, but not as bad as a glossy screen (like my dad's Samsung 55UNB8000). I have beige curtains that keep out about 60% of ambient daylight. This, plus bumping up the backlight to 2 or 3 (out of 10) generally does the trick. I watch at minimum backlight at night.
Matte screens work wonders. I can keep my backlight at much lower settings than my dad, which also diminishes any edge-LED flashlighting, which tends to be pretty apparent at his ~50% backlight settings.
My dedicated basement home theater is completely light controlled with no windows. You cannot see your hand in front of your face and that was my goal. Now my living room is a different story. I have two large windows on either side of the living room with wooden venetion blinds over the windows and daytime viewing can be a pain during bright days on my 50in Panasonic plasma. I would like to add curtains to the blinds to knock down more light but the wife likes them the way they are. I'm ok with that since my home theater is a black hole.

IBM Sued for Firing Alleged Internet Addict
Re:Someone's lying here... (341 comments)
if someone has cancer, and is exhausted and nauseous after receiving their chemotherapy, you should fire him too?
Of course not. You send them home on long-term disability and replace them. Companies have an obligation to be sympathetic, but not outright charitable. There's no reasonable expectation for a company to continue paying someone a full salary and receiving nothing in return, simply because the person has a crippling illness. That's what insurance is for. Salary is payment in exchange for work.
Most medical professionals consider alcoholism a disease.
Provably false and thus unworthy of further comment.

So there are a lot of people who are upset with our latest and treeiest champion's ultimate - there are some who find it fine, but we're ignoring them for now. Some of the suggestions have been to put a slow in it, or maybe even a root. Someone even suggested it following Maokai, though that may be slightly op. Here's my suggestion: make it big. Really.****ing.Big. I'm talking like triple the size at least I mean, it's called Vengeful Maelstrom- not Sucky Puddle of Suck. Right now it takes about a fifth of a second to stroll on out- Change that. Make it so all-consuming of the map that people get lost in it, praying to find the area in which it ends. Maybe not that dramatic, but that's the idea behind it. Anyway- comments, ideas, spam?
I kinda feel that it should have some sort of slowing aspect to it. Or make abilities he uses within the maelstrom do special things. Like sapplings slow anything they hit or his root lasts longer, or his slow hits harder. At the moment, its only worth using for the damage reduction, which is nice, but it isn't even worth putting more than 1 point into, so you can keep it up longer. The damage is kinda just there.
Nightdancer ND
It have to be bigger. I wouldn't mind to give the damage away, in exchange for a bigger area that makes a difference (like Trundles movement speed.) The tiny area of his ult is the reason why I find Maokai not very tanklike.
Maokai's ult should act like Rammus' shield - but be an aura around him. as of right now, maokai is just way too **** squishy.
clear world
hooray, someone who has something like my idea for Maokai. I kept on going to different threads, always suggesting the same thing, leveling Maokai's ultimate will increase the size.

I have never used one of these meringues, I usually use the regular buttercream, but I get complaints that it is too sweet. I tasted a meringue one and I liked it, but not sure if I can use it as I would the regular buttercream because of the egg whites. Can I use it as a crumb coat for a fondant cake?
Also what is the difference between the two meringues, do they work the same way and its just a preference.?
Thank you :)

When Google and HTC announced the Nexus 9, they showed it off in the now-standard black, white, and gold "sand" color options. The off-brown color wasn't seen on launch day, though considering the low initial manufacturing runs that Nexus devices seem cursed with, that's not overly surprising. In the small hours of this morning the sand option appeared on the Play Store in the United States - you can pick up a 32GB model now for $479.
OK, so perhaps the latest version of the Galaxy Note tablet isn't impressing you, thanks to that overly large 12.2-inch screen. If you'd like a deal on something very similar but a little more manageable, B&H Photo has the 32GB version of the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (man, I'm glad they did away with that naming scheme) for $329. That's a whopping $270 off of the price of the 32GB model at launch last year, and still $170 off of Amazon's current price.
So there's this South Korean seller on eBay who seems to have a large stock of Sandisk's Class 10 Micro SDHC cards and wants to get rid of them. For $10 a pop, you can get your hands on this very decent amount of extra storage for your phone, tablet, or other gadgets. green-sum (that's the name of the seller) will be nice enough to ship it to your "worldwide" for free for what seems to be a $5 fee across several ZIP codes we tried (the seller did list with free shipping originally, but the amount has since gone up), as long as your definition of "worldwide" excludes Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania, South America, and basically any territory that isn't the United States minus Alaska and Hawaii.
eBay just loves discounting that 2013 Nexus 7, or at least a lot of the merchants that use eBay do. Google's perennial 7-inch tablet is back on the Daily Deal list, this time in a 32GB Wi-Fi flavor. The tablet is going for $159.99, a full $110 off of the retail price in the Play Store, so long as you're OK with a refurbished unit. According to the listing, this particular model is an Asus Authorized Refurbished product with a 90 day warranty from the manufacturer.
Update 8/5/14: The sale has been extended from July 31st to August 7th.
Motorola loves discounting its flagship Moto X phone at every possible opportunity. The latest is the nebulous "back to school" season, but I think they were just getting itchy - it's been a whole week since the off-contract Moto Maker editions of the X went on sale. Right now you can pick up a standard 16GB Moto X for $299 ($100 off), the 32GB model for $324 ($125 off), and the 64GB model for $374 ($125 off).
Update 7/14/14: The previous deal sold out, but it's now back under another listing.
Google I/O has come and gone without mention of a new Nexus tablet (which was expected), but this means you still have time to pick up a Nexus 7 for cheap and remain current. Numerous deals have passed already, but this time we've come across one going for a price approaching the 50% off mark.
Look, it's been a year since the Nexus 7 got its first hardware refresh. There will probably be a replacement before too long. Right now is the worst time to buy it, at least if you're bothered by the idea of a recently-purchased device being suddenly outclassed by a new one. All that being said... you can get a great deal on the Nexus 7 2013 32GB if you head over to eBay right now.
The revised Nexus 7 has been available for the better part of a year, and we've featured innumerable sales and discounts on the tablet. If you don't have one by now, it's probably because you don't want one. That said, if you're one of the last people in the US or Canada to get on the trolley, an eBay vendor is offering the basic 16GB WiFi model at a significant discount today.
Nexus phones tend to be in extremely high demand just after release, but right now Google has one that's shipping in two days. If you order the white version of the Nexus 5 32GB at the moment, you can get it considerably faster than any of the other models... yes, perhaps even in time for Christmas. The Play Store shows it shipping in 1-2 days, meaning that UPS would be speeding it to you by Thursday at the latest.
The Nexus 10 is getting a little long in the tooth, but it's still the only 10-inch tablet you can buy that runs the latest version of Android without any manufacturer extras. In addition to the double Nexus 7 deals from earlier this morning, eBay has a fantastic discount on a brand new Nexus 10 32GB. Not only do you get a new (not refurbished) tablet for $399, a hundred bucks off of retail, you also get a $100 prepaid Visa Gift Card.

It is critical to detect heteroplasmy sensitively, since even low levels in blood, which is routinely tested, may reveal disease affecting other organs. Such low levels of heteroplasmy in blood are generally not detected by standard methods, but are detected by the MEDomics test utilizing NextGen sequencing technology. The error rate determines how small a mutant fraction is reliably detected. MEDomics uses the Applied Biosystems SOLiD(TM) 3 NextGen sequencing platform which has an exceptionally low error rate, allowing detection of heteroplasmy down to about 1%.
The MEDomics NextGen mitochondrial genome test can help diagnose mitochondrial disease, enabling life-saving therapy decisions and allowing for accurate family risk counseling.
About MEDomics
MEDomics is a molecular diagnostic laboratory founded in 2008 by Steve S. Sommer, MD, PhD, with the mission of providing Mutation Expert-based Diagnosis ("MED") to support the physician in delivering personalized medicine based on analysis of the patient's genome ("omics"). The mutation experts at MEDomics provide unparalleled quality interpretation to aid the practicing physician.
Dr. Sommer is a Founding Fellow of the American College of Medical Genetics with 25 years experience in Clinical Molecular Diagnosis and over 300 scientific publications and patents. During the past few years, his personalized cancer genetics research and clinical team, including Kelly Gonzalez, MS, and Bill Scaringe, MS, discovered mutation showers. Mutation showers may occasionally cause cancer in an instant. His neuropsychiatric genetics team, including Carolyn Buzin, PhD, also helped to define the first genes for which mutations strongly predispose to schizophrenia or autism. Carolyn Buzin, Kel

Rand at 8.16 against the US dollar
Comment on this storyThe rand was range-bound with a firmer bias against the US dollar from its overnight levels in early trade on Tuesday' with dealers noticing a drop in liquidity ahead of the public holiday on Thursday' and as the flow of macroeconomic data remained fairly light.
At 09:17 local time the rand was bid at R8.1639 to the dollar from Monday's close of R8.1644. It was bid at R10.1213 to the euro from its previous close of R10.1192 and at R12.7139 against sterling from R12.7277 before.

The International Federation on Ageing (IFA) has named Age-friendly NYC, a partnership between The New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM), the NYC Mayor's Office, and the New York City Council, the Best Existing Age-friendly Initiative in the world. The IFA announced the winners of its 2013 Summa Age-Friendly Cities and Communities Innovation Awards competition at its annual conference in Istanbul on October 5, 2013.
The award for Best Existing Age-friendly Initiative was created to recognize an existing-age friendly initiative that demonstrates innovation and visionary approaches to creating cities more inclusive of older people. The competition was open to cities, communities, and cross-cutting initiatives from the for-profit and non-profit sectors. Scores applied from around the world, and applicants were judged by an international panel of experts representing more than ten countries from the fields of medicine, architecture, design, urban planning, international relations, public administration, social work, business, and economics.
Dr. Ruth Finkelstein, Director of Age-friendly NYC and Senior Vice President for Policy and Planning at NYAM, accepted the award. She was joined by two representatives of the Age-friendly NYC Commission, Helen Hamlin, IFA Main Representative at the United Nations, and Dr. Linda Fried, Dean of the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. The award is accompanied by a $20,000 prize, which Age-friendly NYC has proposed investing into a community seed fund for aging innovation.
Age-friendly NYC challenges all sectors of the city to rethink aging and consider how best to serve and benefit from this growing population. Key accomplishments include 59 initiatives implemented across city agencies, more than 100 redesigned street intersections, and 1,000 local businesses embracing age-friendly practices. New York City is one of more than 150 cities that are members of the World Health Organization's Global Network of Age-friendly Cities and Communities.
