Using Multicast to Transmit Data or an Event
Multicasting enables one to transmit a single stream of data to many recipients or endpoints. Instead of sending a data stream (data packet) to each recipient, only one data stream is sent from the source and the routers along the path to the destination make a copy of the data and send it on to the endpoints.How is it different from Unicast?
Unicast is the process of sending a data stream (packet of data) to each endpoint or receiver. Unicast uses substantially more bandwidth than Multicast because the same data stream is being sent from the source to all of the recipients or endpoints.
Benefits of Multicast
Using multicast IP technology, the source organization reduces the amount of bandwidth needed to send the data stream to many recipients or endpoints. For example, if there are 10 endpoints who want to receive a data stream from the source organization, instead of having to send the data stream 10 different times, only one stream has to be sent and it will be copied at each router point until the stream reaches the endpoints.Merit's backbone network is fully enabled to support multicast transmissions. Individual organizations may need to request that their connection be configured. Merit engineers are available to assist our Members with multicast implementations.
Below are diagrams of how Multicast and Unicast work:
Uses of Multicast
Multicasting can allow you to reach many end users while utilizing only one data stream, decreasing the amount of bandwidth and saving you money when compared to unicast.Example uses of Multicast:
- Students can go on virtual fieldtrips, using video filmed in one location to
reach students in many schools--saving travel time and gasoline.
- A school broadcasts its commencement over the Internet, reaching
relatives, friends and alumni anywhere in the world.
- Students can experience a live concert without ever leaving their classroom.
- A college lecture series streamed over the Internet.
- A live sporting event filmed and delivered via the Web.

20% off Everything
We have just taken delivery of a Flexa mid-height off-set bunk combination in whitewash finish and are delighted with it, for our four year old. The delivery time of 6 weeks was met and it was delivered at my convenience. The team provided good after sales service with a personal touch.
With a baby on the way and a rapidly growing 3 year old, we thought it was about time that our daughter took the leap from cot bed to big girl bed and started looking around at what was available and with the invaluable help of the sales staff decided that the mid high sleeper was the perfect one....
All FLEXA furniture is made of wood drawn from nature.When trees are felled, it is important to show consideration for the woods themselves as well as the plants and animals that live there.
The wood used to make FLEXA furniture is collected from the northern latitudes, where trees grow slowly on account of the cold. It is a drawn-out process, but one that generates wood with an excellent fibre structure and greater mass (the "filler" between the rings) and provides us with top quality wood that contains few knots.
In this way, Mother Nature herself helps us to make furniture of the highest quality. And when Mother Nature lends a hand, it is only natural for us to repay the favour.
FLEXA has close and trusting working relationships with the suppliers who deliver the wood used to make FLEXA furniture.
All the residual products from the preparation process are used. In the production of FLEXA furniture, the wood is dried, planed and rounded to become the finished high-quality material.
Once this has been done, all the surplus wood, bark, shavings and sawdust are collected and compressed to make wood pellets. These are then used to generate heat and energy.
At FLEXA, production walks hand in hand with Mother Nature.
Durable quality with espect for the environment
FLEXA furniture is made of wood treated with eco-friendly UV varnish, which is free of formaldehyde, solvents and toxic colorants. The varnish is very hard-wearing and makes our furniture elegant, robust and more resistant to signs of wear and tear. At the same time, we place the greatest emphasis on ensuring that our furniture is not hazardous to children or their surroundings.

I am the Chief Executive Officer of A.N.A Comics and I also work as the Editor-in-Chief. This is my personal deviantart.com account. Thanks for stopping by, hope you like my work and please visit anacomics.com and get to know about us a bit more also! -------------------------- I get asked a LOT - "Do you do drawing of actual people?" I do in fact do a lot of sketches and illustrations of people. Its my most common type of commission. I have samples of past illustrations I have done of people on Deviantart here, but most are on my website: anthonyhary.com/commissions/ I can do pencil and ink illustrations if you like. Most people order digital paintings for this type of work. Let me know what you would like and I can give you a quote. This link: anthonyhary.com/wp-content/gal… is a portrait I did of two boys. The mom gave me some sample photos of them to work off of. I illustrated this picture. Colored it digitally. What I like to do then for color portrait commissions then is print off a photo package of 8x10, 5x7, along with wallet sized photos and include them with the digital files so clients could print more if they liked. I do the photo print packages with all my color orders of portraits so they can share their pictures with friends and family. They are not always portraits. I had a whole family order themselves as famous comic book super heros. An adorable couple as their favorite fictional characters, and even one lady just wanted to be a princess. If you would like to order your own, contact me. Samples of other portraits are on anthonyhary.com and color packages start at $300, with half paid up front and the second half paid upon completion of the commission.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Based on a comment from Sunday's post of Hoppipolla I just finished watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I just got a shiver down my spine. This movie reached into my spirit like Magnolia did and Memento didn't.
Read line 209 of Alexander Pope's "Eloisa to Abelard" (here)
Five years ago, my wife and I saw Magnolia with four Australian friends at University theatre at UBC while Dar was working for World Vision's Vancouver office and I was studying at Regent. I cried a lot after that one. I could barely walk back to our student housing. I kept doubling over in tears and snot. I couldn't walk straight. I don't recommend the movie. It tore my guts out and I don't think I'll tell you why. We didn't have children yet and I had been dealing with some childhood stuff.
Two or three years ago, I saw Memento in Waterloo, Ontario with a worship band from BC after they had led "worship" with my youth ministry and "marketed" their school. In our home, the students cracked out their sleeping bags and dvd collection. Some of the guys were ranting and raving about Memento being their favorite flick. I sat there dumbfounded through the whole movie. Why had these guys seen this a dozen times?
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind made me think of anyone I know who has lost someone they love to premature death, drug abuse, mental illness, or alzheimers. And, what would it really be like for people to hear what they really think of each other, and all those reasons why they want to erase each other from memory? Fascinating! For anyone who has seen it, the resolve at the end of this film didn't bring me back from the place the movie had been taking me to with relentless "fade to black". I got good and lost. And I won't be back for a while. This film got into my brain. I don't mind being nudged and influenced by decent art.
It's a bit like being mystified into darkness by a poet, enchanting sunset, revolving hope, cold shadows, silhouette, glowing furnace, gleaming Western sky
The power of memory is great, very great, my God. It is a vast and infinite profundity. Who has plumbed its bottom? This power is that of my mind and is a natural endowment, but I myself cannot grasp the totality of what I am. Is the mind, then, too restricted to compass itself, so that we have to ask what is that element of itself which it fails to grasp? Surely that cannot be external to itself; it must be within the mind. How then can it fail to grasp it? This question moves me to great astonishment. Amazement grips me.
People are moved to wonder by mountain peaks, by vast waves of the sea, by broad waterfalls on rivers, by the all-embracing extent of the ocean, by the revolution of the stars. But in themselves they are uninterested.
Augustine's Confessions
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;
Alexander Pope
The memory of the righteous will be a blessing,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
Proverbs 10:7

Kareena Kapoor net worth: Kareena Kapoor is an Indian actress with an estimated net worth of $6 million dollars. Born in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Kareena Kapoor grew up in a show business family, but her father did not want her to pursue a performance career.

She continued to make a name for herself throughout the early 2000s, and then began focusing on smaller, more emotionally challenging projects. Since 2006, she has been working steadily, in both big-budget projects, and independent fare. She has also worked steadily in the theater, and launched her own clothing line.

This fall, kids are dressing with panache, individuality and style. A number of North Shore children's boutiques have current trends in mind when considering pint-sized shoppers.
Sprout Kids in Highland Park will outfit kids, from preemie through eight years, in hip urban clothing from well-known designers such as Mayoral, Baby Dino, Elegant Baby, Nano and Hatley.
"Fall trends are inspired by European trends in design," said Alyson Pedowitz, manager and buyer at Sprout Kids. "Joes Jeans has a terrific line up of dark denim featuring bright floral prints for girls and fun camouflage prints for boys. Also, big, fun, chunky sweaters will pair nicely with patterned leggings for girls. We top it all off with bright, puffy jackets and Madpax backpacks."
Marian Michael in Winnetka has offered classic fashions, for babies and kids up to 14 years, for more than 60 years. Designs by Florence Eiseman, Bella Bliss, Hartstrings, Jessica Lynn, Kissy Kissy, Magnolia Baby and US Angels are carried. Marian Michael also has one of the North Shore's largest collections of Johnnie-O.
"A great brand for kids clothing this fall is Johnnie-O," said Richard Paden, co-owner of Marian Michael. "Johnnie-O was founded by John O'Donnell who grew up in Winnetka and attended Loyola Academy in Wilmette. The Johnnie-O brand is unique because you can buy matching shirts for men, women and children."
After eight years, Stacy Smith, owner of PEEK-a-boutique in Northbrook, updated and expanded her store into the preteen market while keeping some of the loved items that have made shoppers happy through the years.
"We are looking forward to helping these savvy preteens shop for the fall season," she said. "We will have a rotating stock of clothing that will mimic women's fashion but will fit a tween's lifestyle and figure. We stay on trend while keeping a good balance between a sophisticated look that girls will enjoy and age-appropriate styles that moms will be happy to dress their daughters in."
Marci Much, owner of B Friends in Deerfield and Just 4 Friends in Highland Park, knows a thing or two about fall style in the children's market.
"Printed leggings with wild and bright colors are trending for fall. Chunky knit sleeves mixed with sweatshirts and unique shades of metallic-bronze, silver and pewter are also in demand," Much said.
Much went on to say that, for girls, Dori Creations printed leggings are great for fall because of the fresh and fabulous patterns. For boys, the Ditka Kids boys line (as in former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka) will be a sure-fire hit this season.
Alexis Eyler, co-owner of Lollie in Evanston, a boutique that carries organic and local items as well as clothing from quality brands such as Appaman, Pink Chicken and Petunia Picklebottom, said: "Fall fashion trends that we're seeing for kids include bright colors (purple, fuchsia, orange), stripes mixed with bold prints and even polka dots. For girls, neutral colors that are great for layering and versatility are also in style for fall: gray, cream and brown. For boys, jewel-toned hues in blues, reds and purples are fall favorites."
Fashion-forward philosophy isn't just for adults; children can indulge in fun, hip trends and be stylish for fall as well.

Looking for Car Stereos?
Start shoppingSony App Remote
Control Your Stereo with Your Smartphone
We installed the Sony MEX-GS600BT in a 2011 Toyota Camry and connected an iPhone 4. |
Yes, you read that headline correctly. For years, the industry has focused on controlling smartphones with stereos. Now Sony has taken the next logical step forward with their new App Remote equipped CD receivers, turning smartphone interactivity into a two-way street. This means you'll enjoy all the functionality of a full-featured car stereo, with your smartphone's touchscreen acting as the remote control for the system and as an additional display for apps and music files.
You can view all of the Sony receivers that have App Remote capability here.
Control with your smartphone, control with your stereo
With your phone's touchscreen, you can do things like selecting sources, picking radio stations, and launching apps. And on the other side of App Remote's two-way street, you can select apps using the stereo's source button, the same way you'd choose the CD player or radio as your source.
App Remote plays audio from any Android app through your car's speakers over Bluetooth. |
Awesome Android™ integration
If you have an Android smartphone, the MEX-GS600BT CD receiver (pictured above) will give you access to some great features. Use Bluetooth® to pair your phone, and you'll have wireless control over the full suite of App Remote functionality, including source, station, and app selection from either the phone or your stereo. The system will even read incoming texts to you so you can keep your eyes on the road where they belong, but still get the reminder to pick up milk on your way home.
Sony designed App Remote for the iPhone®, too
App Remote equipped receivers like the MEX-GS600BT will work for you iPhone users, too. When you plug your iPhone into the stereo's USB input, you'll get control over your stereo through your phone's touchscreen, plus access to select apps through the App Remote application. The only thing App Remote receivers won't do with your iPhone is read your text messages.
App Remote lets you choose your source from your smartphone... |
...change radio stations with a tap of your finger... |
...and see album art and song info on your smartphone's display. |
Keep your phone in reach with Pro.Fit vehicle-specific mounting kits
If you plan on installing an App Remote equipped stereo, you'll need to make sure you can easily reach your smartphone. That's where Pro.Fit comes in. A Pro.Fit mount puts your phone in a spot where you have easy access to any controls you need and can read info from the display. You can read all about Pro.Fit and other mounts in our article about dash-mounting your phone.

Hello everyone,
I've just signed up in the past week, then went away on holiday, so here's my first post.
I currently drive a '96 Mondeo LX, hatchback, 1.8 zetec. It's a nice car to drive, but I have a fault with it that i haven't been able to fix, and thats one of the reasons i've signed up here.
Everyone online calls me SMAndy, its a name that i've had for a while, and its stuck with some people into the real world as well as online. My previous car was a '93 mondeo TD, which was also a very nice car, until the moment it died on me. Cam belt snapped at 80mph, which thoroughly broke the engine.
So now i've owned a mk1 and a mk2 mondeo, and i've driven a mk3, which makes me quite tempted to get one as my next car, if i can get one for the right price, and with the right mileage.
Thanks for authorising me on this forum, i'll be around!

Trouble is, Nate's beginning to wonder if he hasn't spent just a little too much time in the sun. 'Cause no one else on his team saw a thing - not his longtime partner, Clay Demodocus; not their saucy young research assistant; not even the spliff-puffing white-boy Rastaman Kona (aka Preston Applebaum). But later, when a roll of film returns from the lab missing the crucial tail shot - and his research facility is trashed - Nate realizes something very fishy indeed is going on.
By turns witty, irreverent, fascinating, puzzling, and surprising, Fluke is Christopher Moore at his outrageous best.
©2003 Christopher Moore; (P)2006 HarperCollins Publishers
"This amusing pastiche cobbles together elements from all the classic sea yarns: from Jonah and the Whale to Moby Dick to 20,000 Leagues under the Sea." (Booklist)
"Entertaining story, as usual!"
Christopher Moore writes another great story peppered with humor, sarcasm and entertainment. I love how he forces you to accept some very weird ideas without hesitation. Unfortunately, this story reader, Bill Irwin, was completely wrong for this type of book. He didn't know how to convey the sarcasm and humor properly and the lightness that we love from Mr. Moore was lost. Mr. Irwin's monotonous voice for the first few chapters of the book almost kept me from continuing on. He got slightly better as the story progressed, or, perhaps, I just got used to his painfully monotonous style of narrating. I would highly recommend this book to read, but not to listen to.
"Best way to ruin a good book."
Okay, I want to make it clear that this book is one of Moore's best. I LOVED IT. However, and it's a big however, I didn't love the narrator. OMG! (As Abby Normal would say). Bill Irwin (Please forgive me Bill) is as dry and unexciting as, well, the most dry and unexciting thing you can think of.
Irwin just kills this book. I thought I saw Fisher Stevens attached to this audio book on Amazon. What happened? My advice is to get this book on disc at Amazon with Fisher Stevens. What a shame.
"A guilty pleasure"
Sorry, I have to admit it. I'm a huge Christopher Moore fan. Admittedly, this author is not for everyone; you have to totally suspend belief in order to keep going when his stories start departing from reality, and just go along for the ride. "Fluke" is no exception: try explaining the plot to another person, and you'll wind up sounding like a candidate for a bed at Bellvue. But it's usually a great ride, and a great read; funny, full of memorable, outrageous characters but never so "over the top" that you can't get on board with them. And nobody writes a line like Christopher Moore. With every book, I find myself quoting his characters on a daily basis. My advice to you: put aside that crime novel, that self-help book, that evil government spy drivel, and pick up Christopher Moore. Suspend belief and get ready to grin and snicker like a Whaley Boy.
"What's wrong with Bill Irwin?"
I loved "Fluke" when I read it and bought the audio version, looking forward to hearing Bill Irwin read, knowing his work well. It is the single worst reading I've ever heard -- the reader regularly pauses in the middle of a thought as if he got to the middle of the line on the page or is struggling to read the bad print on the page. Either that or the engineering was screwy. Irwin sounds like he didn't read the book first and is reluctantly doing the recording to pay back a debt to an audiobook producer friend. I've listened to 40 minutes and can't stand to listen to any more. Buy the book and read it the "old fashioned" way.
"Please..., a better reader next time"
I had the misfortune of selecting, as my first Christopher Moore book, A Dirty Job. I say "the misfortune" because that book is narrated by Fisher Stevens and he does such a wonderful job that any other reader was bound to suffer by comparison. My second Christopher Moore book was Bloodsucking Fiends, and that book, although not as well read, was also truly enjoyable. It led me to the mistake of buying this book without first listening to the sample.
I have now tried to listen to this book 3 times. Each time I have gotten a little bit further and will probably try again later, but this last time I only got past the first 30 minutes before giving up. It is not that the book is not well written. I am hear passages that ought to have me laughing out loud, but the reading is so flat that it passes, for me, without the laugh it deserves. Others apparently feel differently, but I would strongly suggest that people listen to the sample before downloading the book.
I gave it 3 stars because it is typical Christopher Moore, but it deserved a better reader (and, with it, more stars).
"I liked it a lot"
When I first got this book I was very much disappointed that it wasn't Fisher Stevens reading it. I thought the guy reading it was very dry and boring, but the more I listened, the more I liked it. I have now listened to it at least 3 times. I have friends from Maui and have visited a couple times. I believe he captures the way most Hawaiians speak. His tone is very laid back and mellow.
I think the book as a whole lacks a lot of the neurotic characters that Moore usually puts in his books. I read an interview with Moore about this book, and he basically said that after finishing Lamb he had to do a smaller less involved book to keep his publishers off of his back about delivery schedules. So you can understand why their aren't quite so many crazy characters in it.
That being said, this book is fun and cute. The characters are likable and always developing. Once you have finished this book you will have a better understanding of why women are the dominant species on the planet.
"Poor Narrator Choice"
This is one of Christopher Moore's best works. His style, subjects, and humour admittedly aren't for everyone, but Fluke is likely to find a wider audience than many of his other works. The story is pure Moore and not to be missed! Just don't bother trying to listen to this audiobook.
The narrator not only speaks in an off-putting monotone, but his occasional attempts at inflection are typically a word or two off in any given sentence. Such poor narration ruined what should have been a wonderful time getting reacquainted with the quirky story and memorable characters that made me a life-long Moore fan by the second paragraph.
"Good Book, Bad narration"
First off, this is a pretty good book. Not quite as good as some of his books, but still good.
Second of all, the narration. It made the book sound so lifeless. The reading of the book sounded so monotoned that seemed it sucked the life out of the characters. I'm a certified insomniac and this book nearly put me the sleep just listening to it. If you're going to read a book that's going to be heard worldwide, at least put some feeling and emotions into the reading of the book. It makes it sound more real and inviting as if the speaker enjoys the book he or she is reading. And with Moore's brand of humor, it's needed.
Again, this is a good book. Not as good as some of his other works, but still good. It's just the narration. Good reading rhythm, but no life.
"Moore Better"
Christopher Moore's wit is unparalleled, well maybe, but the early Fluke does not disapoint. I laughed outloud at the audio format as much as at the printed version, it is substantially well performed. If you were disappointed by You Suck, maybe you don't get it. Fluke is, like Lamb, a Moore humor pinnacle.
"Soft spoken narrator, but still excellent"
Bill Irwin is getting a lot of flak - totally undeserved, I feel - for his performance. He's a soft spoken narrator, it's true, but I really enjoyed it, and thought he did a great job. I've worked my way through almost all of Christopher Moore's books on audio, and this is easily one of my favorites. Moore takes absurd plots and takes such a real approach to them, and creates characters that are so believable that it makes everything seem totally plausible. And of course, funny.

On street parking permitsSee AlsoContact Us
Follow Us
From the 1st November 2011, Devon County Council introduced an online service. The aim of the new system is to allow customers to apply for, and renew their permits from the comfort of their own home, saving residents the need to visit Exeter City Council Offices as permits will be posted. It is no longer possible to obtain an on street parking permit from the Exeter City Council Offices. For those without internet access, internet facilities are available free of charge in all Devon County Council libraries. Alternatively, people can apply by telephone by calling the MyDevon Customer Service Centre on 0345 155 1073, Monday - Friday from 8am - 8pm. You can renew your permit at any time during the expiry month. It is important that you renew on time, as if you do park in a resident's parking space without a valid permit you are likely to receive a Penalty Charge Notice. Information and applications

Issue 104 - October 2010
The brand new look Artrocker Magazine is here featuring Grinderman, Black Keys, We Are Scientists, Devo, Mystery Jets, Tricky and more...
we've got a newly designed magazine, filled with new content and with a CD slapped on the cover for you. We've got that Nick Cave chappie on the cover and a fine Grinderman feature inside, along with Black Keys who, just in case you didn't know, don't like being called a blues band. We catch up with We Are Scientists and I, as part of this student themed issue take a side-ways look at student activism through the ages. We talk to Tricky, Devo, Mystery Jets, The Stranglers and The Strange Death Of Liberal England and catch up with the former members of Test Icicles who were our feature band five years ago this week. New features include our look at classic albums, this month Dr Feelgood's Stupidity, an interview with sleeve designer David Rager, a new focus on the heavier side of things with Metal Hurlant and An Open Letter To...This month's letter is from gay activist and musician Ste McCabe who has one or two things to say to The Pope prior to his visit. Paul Artrocker has a new Artrocker Radio column in which he tells us about his latest discoveries at the cutting edge of new music. Our New Blood coverage continues with six bands that are probably new to you, we have Kate Hornby's Rock The Look which this month focuses on Phantom's style and Lara Ferros' Collision pages which remain the most original clothes shoots you'll ever see.
There are 70 hot tips for students of all ages and thirty odd pages of single, album, Live and games reviews. And some rather fine art. And a chance to win Swear Shoes. And it all looks fabby in it's new suit. And I could go on all day, but the best thing for you to do is buy it. If you haven't read Artrocker for a while you might be surprised. It's bloody marvellous.

Atlanta Hawks coach Larry Drew was anything but pleased after watching his team get outplayed from start to finish in the opener of a three-game homestand.
The Milwaukee Bucks, meanwhile, won their last game after coming out strong from the opening tip.
Atlanta aims to get back on track Wednesday night versus Milwaukee, which hopes to avoid a ninth loss in its last 10 visits to Philips Arena.
The Hawks (37-30) followed a 1-6 stretch with three straight wins, but saw their woes resume Monday in a 127-113 loss to Dallas. Atlanta gave up its most points this season and allowed the Mavericks to shoot 57.3 percent.
"They brought the game to us from the very beginning, they had us on our heels all night long," Drew said. "We're going to have to just roll our sleeves up. I can't make any excuses for a performance like that. This is just the time of the year where we have to suck it up."
Jeff Teague scored 19 points to lead eight Atlanta players in double figures, but the Hawks lost for only the second time in 16 games when they make more than half of their shots.
"Kind of have to go back to square one a little bit and start with the basics on the defense," forward Anthony Tolliver said. "At the end of the day, it's only one game, but we've got some work to do."
Two nights after erasing a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit in a 115-109 victory over Orlando, Milwaukee (34-32) made a point to come out focused Tuesday versus Portland. Brandon Jennings scored 24 points and Monta Ellis added 21 along with nine rebounds and eight assists in a 102-95 win.
The Bucks, who outscored the Trail Blazers 31-8 in the second quarter, led by as many as 27 before holding on.
"We just wanted to come out with a lot of energy," said Ellis, who appears to be OK after injuring his left wrist late in the game. "We didn't want to play with this team and try to climb back like we had to do (Sunday). They made a run, which this is the NBA. But we were able to close the game out."
Milwaukee shot 48.3 percent, including 9 of 19 from 3-point range. The Bucks have gone 33-17 when shooting at least 40.0 percent compared to 1-15 otherwise.
"When guys are hitting shots all around, it makes everything much easier," said Ellis, who has topped 20 points in 11 of his last 12 games, shooting 50.4 percent in that stretch. "That's how we got the big lead, sharing the ball. Everybody was in a groove, everybody was feeling good."
Milwaukee could have a hard time keeping things going if its recent efforts in Atlanta are any indication. The Bucks have especially struggled on the defensive end during their 1-8 stretch on the road in this series, with the Hawks shooting 50.6 percent.
Atlanta, among the teams the Bucks are chasing as they try to climb up from the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference, has taken four of five from Milwaukee overall, including a 103-102 road win in the only previous matchup this season Feb. 23. Teague, Devin Harris and Al Horford combined for 67 points, with Horford making a go-ahead baby hook shot with 5.9 seconds left.
Josh Smith, who was coveted by Milwaukee before the trade deadline, had 15 points and 13 rebounds that night. Atlanta is 16-3 when he pulls down more than 10 boards.
Bucks starting forward Ersan Ilyasova, who had averaged 22.3 points and 13.3 rebounds over a three-game stretch before Tuesday, sat out against Portland due to left hip pain and is unlikely to face the Hawks.
These teams meet again Sunday in Milwaukee.

Thank you Bionic.
Sometimes synchronicity happens. Maybe...uggh...maybe what you originally tried to post could be better restated? Maybe it's a subject that needs to be thought about more by you? Maybe I believe in "providence"?
I personally don't make the healthiest choices for myself, but that is for me. That is my choice. I just think All the information needs to be out there so that everyone can make educated choices for themselves and lovedones. I hate the lies that I see surrounding me.
On a side note, ever made nettle soup or dandelion fritters? They were both good. I made them this weekend. Yummy. I has recipes.

Welcome to SEMCOG's Think Regional/Act Local blog! SEMCOG is the only organization in Southeast Michigan that brings together all governments to solve regional challenges and enhance the quality of life for the seven-county regions 4.7 million residents. With this regional perspective in mind, we work with member local governments to sustain our regions reputation as a great place to work, play, and do business.
Our panel of SEMCOG staff bloggers will post daily to this blog, discussing SEMCOG's data, federal and state legislative issues, and environmental and fiscal sustainability best practices for local governments all with the goal of creating a successful future for the region.
The Michigan Senate Banking and Financial Institutions Committee is poised to take up the legislation that would require licensing of Appraisal Management Companies and Registration of Fees. The bills passed the Michigan House of Representatives at the end of March 2012. While these bills are no "silver bullet" for ending our region's struggles with low appraisals and a flawed valuation process, it is certainly a step in the right direction.
SEMCOG developed a Housing Valuation Quick Facts document that members, like Assessor Tony Fuoco from Lincoln Park, are using to advocate for a better housing appraisal and valuation system – "Great info that hopefully will trigger resolution to our issues," Tony told us.
SEMCOG sent this letter on behalf of our membership to Michigan's Senators earlier this month. I encourage you to express your support for these bills; please contact Kevin Vettraino with any current housing appraisal experiences and/or best practices you may be implementing.

Ever drive around town and see those ugly signs trying to get you to buy billboard space? Well these signs may be ugly, but the thought behind them is good – and SEMCOG can help. Consider including SEMCOG traffic count data in your marketing and redevelopment strategies.
The City of Dearborn Heights is doing just that. They are using SEMCOG data to assist a property owner in leasing out a vacant building. According to Ronald Amen, Director of Community and Economic Development, "The owner wants to use the information as a marketing tool and I want to see the long vacant building put back into use again."
The SEMCOG Traffic Counts Database System is easy to use and packed full of most (if not all) major roads in the region.
So, think creatively like Dearborn Heights about how SEMCOG data can help your community's efforts. Just avoid the ugly sign.
One year. That's about the extent most communities are planning ahead – or less if the budget year is partially over. We help remedy this situation by working with member communities like Eastpointe, Keego Harbor, Wayne, Waterford Twp., and Oak Park to develop long-range financial plans to help the community plan beyond the typical one-year budget cycle. The financial planning tool was developed by John Kaczor for the Michigan Treasurer, which we enhanced to include benchmark data and other improvements.
The tool is easy to use via an Excel spreadsheet and readily allows a community to assess various scenarios for balancing revenues and expenses. As indicated in the chart below, the first cut of the financial forecast always shows a seriously deteriorating fund balance as revenues drop and expenses rise. We help community officials vary the assumptions, analyze the results, and recommend actions to balance revenues and expenses allowing fund balance to be sustained.
Click here for a sample financial plan that can be readily applied to your local government. Also, no-cost help for SEMCOG member communities is available by contacting Dave Boerger.

Vanmoof No. 5 Bicycle
Packing can be a drag. Packing for what's supposed to be a leisurely bike ride can be an even bigger one. A helmet you can cope with, but then there's the heavy bike lock and all the bells and whistles to strap on, too.
Thankfully, Dutch manufacturer Vanmoof has streamlined the process of taking a spin. Its new No. 5 bike (about $790) integrates a cylinder chain lock and solar-powered LED lighting system--similar to those used on airport runways--into the aluminum frame. But what if you store your wheels in the shade or live in Seattle? You needn't rely on solar power--just use your phone to charge the bike lights via a built-in micro-USB cable. Now if only it could teach you how to pop a wheelie.

Accused Movie Theater Shooter Appears In Court
The man accused of the mass shooting in a Colorado movie theater appeared in court for the first time on Monday. James Holmes is a former University of Colorado graduate student. Police say he opened fire during a packed screening of the film, The Dark Knight Rises.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
From NPR News this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
And I'm Robert Siegel. We begin this hour with the first court appearance of the man accused of killing 12 people and injuring 58 at a Colorado movie theater. Twenty-four-year-old James Holmes seemed dazed and said nothing throughout this morning's proceeding. What was most noticeable was his disheveled hair, a bright reddish-orange color.
NPR's Jeff Brady was in the courtroom in Arapahoe County and he has our story.
JEFF BRADY, BYLINE: James Holmes was brought into the courtroom where at least eight uniformed officers were posted. His mop of curly hair, colored reddish-orange, became the focus of reporters and the family members of some of the victims. Some of them stared at Holmes throughout the hearing but he did not return their gaze.
SIEGEL: Holmes wore a maroon jumpsuit and looked pale. He didn't appear to show much interest in what was happening, though he did rise when the judge entered the room.
JUDGE WILLIAM SYLVESTER: Call People versus James Holmes 12-CR-1522. Appearances, please.
BRADY: This hearing is called an advisement, an opportunity for Judge William Sylvester to advise Holmes of the charges against him.
SYLVESTER: The duty judge made a preliminary determination of probable cause to believe you've committed the offense of First Degree Murder which is a class one felony under Colorado law.
BRADY: Holmes sat quietly, his hands in his lap, and for most of the hearing he appeared to be looking at the floor. The judge told Holmes he's being held without bond, that he has a right to a jury trial, and a preliminary hearing.
SYLVESTER: Mr. Holmes, do you have any questions about that initial advisement?
DANIEL KING: Judge, we've advised Mr. Holmes...
BRADY: The hearing lasted less than 15 minutes, after which Holmes was taken back to the jail. Outside the courtroom, Arapahoe County District Attorney Carol Chambers was asked if this was a slam-dunk case.
CAROL CHAMBERS: We're still looking at the enormous amount of evidence and we would never presume that it would be slam-dunk. We will work very hard on this case.
BRADY: Chambers says a decision on whether to pursue the death penalty will have to be made within 60 days of the arraignment. She says prosecutors will consult with family members of the victims.
CHAMBERS: That's a very long process that impacts their lives for years and so they will to have and we will want to give their input before we make any kind of a decision on that.
BRADY: Among the family members of the victims at the courthouse today was David Sanchez. He says he's most focused on caring for his daughter, who was not injured, and her husband.
DAVID SANCHEZ: We turned all the TVs off in the hospital because we really didn't need to deal with that part of it.
BRADY: Sanchez says his 23-year-old son-in-law, Caleb Medley, was shot in the head. Sanchez says he hopes he'll pull through.
SANCHEZ: Just need to pray for everybody that's out there and that's hurt and for a recovery. That's the biggest thing. Like I said, that justice takes its place for this man that has done this to all these people.
BRADY: The family of suspect James Holmes issued a statement this afternoon, aimed at clarifying earlier reports that made it seem like Holmes' mother was not surprised by the shooting. She says a reporter who called her early in the morning misunderstood what she said. The family spoke through their attorney, Lisa Damiani, in San Diego after the hearing.
LISA DAMIANI: Again, the family wants to reiterate that their hearts go out to the victims and their families. The Holmes family would like to maintain their privacy.
BRADY: Damiani wouldn't say where the Holmes family is staying. With such a high profile case, she's concerned for their safety.
DAMIANI: Through my personal experience in dealing with those cases in the past, that's what causes concern.
BRADY: As this case slowly moves through the justice system, many of the details that attorneys learn will be kept secret. A spokeswoman with the Arapahoe County District Attorney's office says the case has been sealed. By next Monday, formal charges will be filed and then James Holmes will be back in court for a preliminary hearing and then a formal arraignment. Jeff Brady, NPR News, Centennial, Colorado.

Rumble Build in TT
Hey guys, anyone have a good idea on how to build Rumble for TT these days? All the guides I can find are for SR. Also how does he fair against Darius? Trying to find a champ that stands a chance against him and these tryhard teams.
Build remains relatively unchanged.
You should be putting early points into his E for added poke damage, post 6 max Q. (E>Q>E>W>E>R) I've found myself buying Haunted Guise after Hextech to add damage and a bit more HP though (instead of rushing Rylai), finishing boots and then getting Rylai. Darius v Rumble can be tough if you don't poke him down early. |
I have had great success vs'ing Darius top as AP Lulu and Cass. But when he realizes he is getting shut down he usually will just go roam. Warning your team a Darius is free roaming is not enough in solo q, they will still die by him. |
Darius isn't a problem for rumble, riven...now that can be troublesome.
I've got around 1500 tt games on rumble, here's the build I use the most. Masterys 21 to Def 9 in offence. Runes Red's Pen, Yellow armor, Blue resist, Q's what ever you please be it pen move speed or ap it's all good. Items Boots and dorans shield no whining about it slowing your build it's a needed part, the only other option is a tome and boots + pot but you need the hp anyhow so may as well get it now and own your lane. Core items are treds ryl's hextech, it's all about countering now do you get a scepter? A sunfire? Do they have no cc do you go with pen boots? Are you confident you can survive it all grab a hat. Now on the torch yes it's good on rumble no it's not sing good. It's a very solid choice but no don't rush it b4 ryl's ryl's is to core the slow is to important and hextech for sustain is to. Anyhow that's enuf to get you started on to the play. First I can't let it go KingSilus promoting raising E early and ...poking....GAHAHAHAHAHHAhhh!!!! NEVER I wont say there is only one way to build rumble that would be terribly untrue but skill wise there is one clear winner. Build Q first foremost and always the only exception is if you feel your team has a sure win on gank and you just need to catch them then get E. Q Tho in the danger zone will give you aoe damage and turn most ganks your way. So it's R>Q>E>W Now let me explain why. First you pick rumble, you take solo period say it up front, if they don't like it don't play rumble or dodge the Q, you take top period. Start off with your flamer charged for gank and if you built the way I suggested your probably the most tanky so go in first take the damage flash out if needed. I suggest flash and ignite. Trade ignite for exh go ignite exh extra. All good but the first is the most versatile. Now your laning keep flaming for charge but don't flame the minions auto attack last hit only, chase them a bit but stay safe you don't want to take damage from harass. Once you hit level 2 either get W or E and you can get more aggressive. The exception is if you will win a slug fest then zone them from level 1. Some folks are scaredy so try zoning them anyhow they might just let you have it. Once your 3 and have Q W E. W to boost in Q in range and chase putting E on them. Then run away rinse repeat, this is who you are until someone makes a mistake. Then you hit it all and slug it out. The idea behind what I've said is to zone their cs and exp, use the bushes and don't be scared to chase while flaming you have to it's were all rumbles damage is and aim those harpoons AIM I SAID!!....personal bad habit of random shooting. XD Now your beating them senseless... your not? No worries it's possible the only things that gives a skilled rumble troubles are ....well riven ...riven and can't think of anyone else =) But careful play takes care of her trick is to run early and chase as soon as shes finished jumping. The reason shes a pain she flips you around so that your not flaming at her....@_@ Your next goal is a fast 6 that's why you've been buying plenty of red pots for fast levels. Your ult can't be underestimated and played smart it will net you a kill as soon as you get it. I've tried to get my point across but allow me to try once more. Rumble is a bruiser who specializes in zoning chase and team fights. Hes not a poker nor is he a ap carry their are other chars much better suited...with ah you know range hard CC and move skills. The reason I play rumble is because I he suits my style *half* I chose him because he had the highest chance of allowing me to carry randoms.... =) Anyhow if he suits you enjoy him I'd love to see some more rumbles out there. For some reason my fav char is unpopular, particularly considering hes god tier lol. |

"On the Duke Endowment scholarship I would not get one lump sum, but one-half at the end of each semester. Covering my needs meant going to the Morris Plan Bank and borrowing as much as required at a 4 percent rate of interest. This further reduced my capital funds.
"Food was always an important matter, considering the limited financial resources. We often ate in our room or apartment in the morning. Then we might go to the coffee shop on campus and order a hamburger, an order of fries and two glasses of milk, and a bottle of catsup. Dividing the sandwich and the fries with my roommate gave us a good lunch.
"In the evening we often went in a carload to Mrs. Clark's boarding house downtown near the cigarette factories.
There we could get a full 'starchy' meal for 25 cents, or perhaps splurge and go to the Union for dinner.
"My 1934 summer assignment [in Henderson, N.C.] . was to two churches located in the locally-owned cotton mill villages. Each block had a public water faucet from which the people carried their water. Most of them were on two- or three-day employment at the mills, just to keep them going through the Depression.
"With all their poverty I found the people very kind and thoughtful, and when you ate with them you felt like a thief. But they had so few pleasures that we tried to be entertaining . as we visited. The ladies always insisted, "Now Brother Haley, pass the beans and you 'Take OUT.' I shall ever be grateful for the experience of working with these people.
"Ed Earnhardt was pastor at the large beautiful stone First Methodist Church in the center of town. His parsonage had such a leaky roof that he arranged for the board of stewards to leave the church where they had met one rainy night, and go across to the parsonage for some refreshments. When Mrs. Earnhardt came to the door to greet them she was carrying an umbrella in the house. He got a new roof shortly thereafter."
Excerpted from Carl W. Haley's reflection "Duke Daze, 1933-36." Haley, who died in 2008, was one of the members of "The Chain Gang," a group of alumni who stayed in touch through chain letters and occasional reunions. The son of a circuit-riding Methodist pastor, Haley served many parishes and agencies across a long career.

After Zionism. Bean Counting States. After 9/11 more private contractors took over security responsibilities on military bases as troops headed overseas.
Recent veterans weigh in on the impact of that shift. The most recent catastrophe at Fort Hood has Congress asking questions: how can we prevent this from happening again? Along with talk about treating and screening for service members with mental health issues, the focus has been on the security procedures at military bases and how it might be improved. As CNN reported April 6th, lawmakers are examining how the military secure its installations, and whether current controls are sufficient.
No Easy Answers. For Syrians displaced by their country's war, homeless in their own land, life inside refugee camps is a desperate existence.
The refugee camp in the Turkish city of Kilis has been called "a five-star hotel." Residents have access to electricity, playgrounds, and schools. They receive money for food, and satellite dishes adorn many of the housing units. Crime is low, and gratitude is high. Indeed, for the approximately 14,000 people living there, the Turkish government has built—in the words of the New York Times—the "perfect refugee camp." Netanyahu says "no" to the two-states solution. Netanyahu's response to Obama expose his, and the Israeli's center-right, true face For years, Israeli politicians used to say their actions were intended to "expose the true face of the Palestinians"; this used to be a specialty of Ehud Barak. Senior pundits spent lakes of ink on the proposition that Israel should agree to peace proposals, or even present some of its own, even though they thought there was no point in them: Doing so would expose the "true face" of the Palestinians/Arabs as peace refuseniks.
This game is over. The two days following Obama's Middle East speech made it clear who is the real peace refusnenik, exposing the true face of the Israeli center-right. Netanyahu and the one-state solution. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address US legislators on Tuesday.
He will, no doubt, tell members of Congress that he supports a two-state solution, but his support will be predicated on four negative principles: no to Israel's full withdrawal to the 1967 borders; no to the division of Jerusalem; no to the right of return for Palestinian refugees; and no to a Palestinian military presence in the new state. The problem with Netanyahu's approach is not so much that it is informed by a rejectionist worldview. The problem is not even Netanyahu's distorted conception of Palestine's future sovereignty, which Meron Benvenisti aptly described as "scattered, lacking any cohesive physical infrastructure, with no direct connection to the outside world, and limited to the height of its residential buildings and the depth of its graves. The airspace and the water resources will remain under Israeli control... " At the UN, the funeral of the two-state solution. We are all going to be invited to the funeral of the two-state solution if and when the UN General Assembly announces the acceptance of Palestine as a member state.
The support of the vast majority of the organization's members would complete a cycle that began in 1967 and which granted the ill-advised two-state solution the backing of every powerful and less powerful actor on the international and regional stages. Even inside Israel, the support engulfed eventually the right as well as the left and center of Zionist politics. And yet despite the previous and future support, everybody inside and outside Palestine seems to concede that the occupation will continue and that even in the best of all scenarios, there will be a greater and racist Israel next to a fragmented and useless bantustan.
The charade will end in September or October — when the Palestinian Authority plans to submit its request for UN membership as a full member — in one of two ways. Israel must understand it cannot be like America. Why the United States needs to press for a "two-state" solution NOW. Lots of smart people have been focusing on the Israeli elections and trying to make sense of their immediate implications for the peace process.
I can't improve on the analyses provided by Glenn Greenwald, Yossi Alpher, Bernard Avishai, or Uri Avnery, who explain why there is little reason to be optimistic and many reasons to be worried. I want to focus on a different issue, which is likely to be more important in the long run. Moment of Truth for Liberal Zionism. For the last ten plus years, advocates of a two-state solution in Israel/Palestine have been warning that the "window of opportunity" for a two-state solution is closing fast.
Here's Jordan's King Abdullah II using the image in a 2005 speech: Israelis and Palestinians must take advantage of a "small window of opportunity" for peacemaking, he warned.

"—Israel Studies Forum Exile and Return: Predicaments of Palestinians and Jews is a bold attempt to understand constructively and build upon the terrible irony of two peoples, each with a searing memory of displacement and exile, struggling for a return to a land each remembers, each claims, and from which each has sought to exclude the other. United we stand. Now it's your turn. Why I'm Presenting at Harvard's One-State Conference. The Harvard Kennedy School is hosting a "One State Conference" this weekend and already the usual suspects are crying foul.
Since I'm going to be speaking on a panel at the conference on Sunday, I thought it might be a good idea to weigh in with some thoughts. I'll begin with the stated vision/goals of the conference, according to student organizers: To date, the only Israel/Palestine solution that has received a fair rehearsal in mainstream forums has been the two-state solution. Mearsheimer: There will be no two-state solution, only a greater Israel, and Palestinians will need the int'l community in the coming fight against apartheid. Something you won't see on American television: Al Jazeera ran a long piece on the peace talks (linked here at Pulse.).
"Empire" host Marwan Bishara is incisive; he speaks of the "Zionist lobby" and the emergence of a state in Kosovo with far less rigmarole than the endless peace process. His guests, on barstools in a rooftop interview in view of the White House, are Nabil Shaath of the P.A., former negotiator Rob Malley, and John Mearsheimer. Mearsheimer is unbound. Reflections After the Harvard One State Conference. Palestinians in line for a Qalandiya checkpoint during Ramadan, 2011.
(Photo: Reuters) I attended the One State Conference at Harvard University on March 3-4, 2012, and was encouraged to continue working to bring peace and prosperity to all the people who live between the Mediterranean Sea and Jordan River. Nevertheless, I left the conference unsettled by several issues. Regime Change. The Future of Palestine: Righteous Jews vs. the New Afrikaners. John J. Mearsheimer This is the transcript of the Hisham B. Sharabi Memorial Lecture delivered by John J. Mearsheimer at the The Palestine Center today. Singular Legal Regime Necessitates One-State Solution. This weekend, the Harvard University community will host its conference, "One-State Conference: Israel/Palestine and the One-State Solution". The conference promises to be an invigorating discussion on the likelihood of the two-state solution, the benefits of the one-state solution, and the challenges to achieving either.
In light of that discussion, I thought it useful to share the legal dimensions that demonstrate Israel's discriminatory system both within its putative borders and the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) as a singular Apartheid regime.

as far as we know, the map drawing will not change in CK, ever.
So please, don't report errors about the map in the bug forum.
There are certain changes that could be made though, like province ownership or province culture at the begining of a scenario. But you have to have a very strong backed-up case with evidences, and you may want to discuss it first with other forumers in the Crusader Kings - Scenarios and Modifications subforum.
Performance problems are nearly impossible to corner, because:
- We all have different hardwares
- We all are running different programs or services at the same time as CK on our PC
- We all have different game situation.
So they are extremely difficult to reproduce and fix.
As a rule, I'd prefer people not to report them...
I am sure Paradox do whatever is possible to improve performance wherever they can.

FAQ for DVD/CD Media
DVD-R (hyphen R) media
Do DVD-R media differ from DVD+R media? |
Both are recordable media, and are often called 'write once media.' (However, they do not record copyright protected data.) [ Choose disc by LOGO ]You can find which disc to use, DVD+R or DVD-R, from the logo marked on your drive or recorder. [ For DVD recorder users ]To record copy guarded digital broadcasts, CPRM media is necessary. Currently, there are no products compliant with CPRM in our product line-up. Please consult the manual of your recorder to see if it is compliant with the CPRM recording.
[ For DVD drive users ]When writing the data less than 1GB in compatible with DVD-Video(ROM) mode, there is a difference between DVD+R disc and DVD-R disc.With DVD-R disc, when writing a data that is less than 1GB, addition to the actual data, the drive will write a dummy data until it reaches 1GB and then close the session. It will take a little longer time than writing the actual data. With DVD+R disc, even the data you are going to write is less than 1GB, the session can be closed without writing the dummy data. You will be able to save a little time. ex. Time difference when writing approximately 5 minutes DVD-Video type data (approximately 195MB). (8x disc and 8x drive used)

Pardon my language, but being in last place sucks! I am fully aware that "sucks" is a slightly inappropriate word and if any of my students said it, I would redirect them to use a more appropriate descriptor. But it is what it is. And such is life. Well, at least my life, as the sole Exceptional Student Education (special ed) Research III teacher at Miami Southridge High School for sophomores. Out of my cohort of four Research III teachers, my Biology End-of-Course (EOC) interim and assessment data is always dead last, which wouldn't be so bad, if it was merely kept between the four teachers and the science coach. But nope, bar charts must be constructed, and data chats must occur; placing my failure on display for the entire school.
At least that is how it felt at times, even knowing my students all have IEPs (Individualized Education Plans), the majority with learning disabilities, and many reading well below grade level. I would see other teachers touting proficiency percentages for a class average as high as 52 percent, whereas my highest class average was 37 percent. These comparisons led to feelings of inadequacies and distress. I'd question my success as a teacher and my future in the field of education. I mean, according to the top guns in education and government, I'm only successful if I have a high percentage of students passing the Biology EOC. My job depends on these scores. What could I possibly know about being a Biology teacher? My undergrad was in Sociology and my master's in Special Education. Why, oh why, can't you students with low IQ scores, emotional/behavioral diagnoses, medical issues, etc. do better on this test?
I learned that although my students took the same standardized test as general education students, it was not expected of any of them to be proficient. The bar was set so low that any sign of life from my "babies" was a major triumph. Many of my students had been discounted long ago, by others, but even more disheartening, by themselves. They were only going through the motions of school because expectations were so low. It is my job to help them celebrate even the smallest academic achievements. I must exude optimism when asking my students to analyze their own data. Show them to not focus on the numbers or the level of proficiency, but rather on the smaller, more feasible accomplishment of increasing percentage points on overall score or individual standards. It was through data chats that I had a special "aha!" moment, that moment of clarity in teaching. During these things I have to put my pride aside and emphasize my students' successes because they are discouraged by the numbers and not "passing." In doing this, I have seen growth in my abilities as a teacher, but more importantly the scientific, academic, and emotional abilities in my students.
