Renowned chef Charlie Trotter died at the age of 54, leaving his culinary colleagues bereft. Famous for his focus and detail-oriented nature, Trotter ran an award-winning eponymous restaurant in Chicago until last summer, when it closed. "Charlie's personality mirrored his cooking — bold, inventive and always memorable," Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel told the AP. "Charlie Trotter will be remembered for serving the finest food and his generous philanthropy, and he will always have a seat at the table among Chicago's legendary figures." Below are several celebrity chefs' tributes to Trotter, who, despite never going to culinary school, won 10 James Beard Awards and hosted a PBS Series, "The Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter."
Rest In Peace Charlie Trotter. A giant. A legend. Treated shabbily by a world he helped create. My thoughts go out to those who loved him.

I am Not Content: The Future of Education Must Come Today
Dr. Curtis Bonk. Thursday, April 9, 2015
Look left, look right, look back, and then look dead-on straight ahead…what do you see? Of course, the air is filled with e-learning opportunities as well as talk of educational transformation. So much news. So much progress. Each second of the day, dozens of learners discover shiny learning nuggets previous unknown. Each week, thousands of schools, universities, corporations, and government offices announce strategic plans for e-learning. Every month, hundreds of new online courses, programs, and certificates are offered. Year after year, research reports and meta-analyses indicate that there are undeniable positive benefits of online teaching and learning. The world of technology-enhanced learning, is looking up, up, up. But wait a minute. It is no time to be content. It is not time to relax and just let the "inevitable" future unfold in front of our eyes. No! We must all jump in and help build the changes we want to see. Besides, there are hundreds of millions of people who cannot wait. They need access to a more free and open education today–one with high quality content, interactive and engaging tasks, and motivating technology use. This is a land of where nature (i.e., technology) meets nurture (i.e., pedagogy). It is time you joined in to build the future. Those attending this talk should be cautioned to check their hearts and credits cards at the door since this will be an emotionally-packed talk intended to make you act.
Curt Bonk is Professor of Instructional Systems Technology at Indiana University and President of CourseShare. Drawing on his background as a corporate controller, CPA, educational psychologist, and instructional technologist, Bonk offers unique insights into the intersection of business, education, psychology, and technology. He received the CyberStar Award from the Indiana Information Technology Association, the Most Outstanding Achievement Award from the U.S. Distance Learning Association, the Most Innovative Teaching in a Distance Education Program Award from the State of Indiana, and, in 2014, the Mildred B. and Charles A. Wedemeyer Award for Outstanding Practitioner in Distance Education. A well-known authority on emerging technologies for learning, Bonk reflects on his speaking experiences around the world in his popular blog, TravelinEdMan. He has authored several widely used technology books, including The World Is Open: How Web Technology Is Revolutionizing Education(2009), Empowering Online Learning: 100+ Activities for Reading, Reflecting, Displaying, and Doing (2008), The Handbook of Blended Learning (2006), and Electronic Collaborators (1998). His latest book, Adding Some TEC-VARIETY: 100+ Activities for Motivating and Retaining Learners Online (2014), is freely available. See Bonk's homepage for his archived talks and Web resources.

Defining Accessibility
Sarah Horton. Friday, April 10, 2015
We typically define accessibility as compliance with standards. For those with responsibility for digital accessibility, compliance can seem daunting, if not impossible. So many factors that influence accessibility fall outside of central control. What about third-party software used to provide central services? What about content provided by faculty and students? What about all the software in use that isn't even known of, never mind supported, centrally? The digital campus of most colleges and universities is loosely governed, making campus-wide adherence to accessibility standards a challenging goal in higher education.
What if, instead of standards compliance, we define accessibility as making a commitment and demonstrating progress? In this scenario, accessibility would begin with a clear, institution-wide commitment to providing digital resources that people with disabilities can use successfully. The accessibility commitment would be central to the mission of the institution—an abiding core value. Next would be establishing a baseline defining the current state of accessibility and then improving accessibility in current resources, while at the same time laying the foundation to include accessibility in all new resources. Individuals responsible for accessibility would be equipped with the knowledge and skills to successfully meet their obligations. A coordinated program with continual assessment would show progress toward achieving accessibility.
In this way, accessibility becomes a process that focuses on people and targets success.
Sarah Horton started her career in interaction design in 1991 at the Yale Center for Advanced Instructional Media, creating award-winning interactive instructional software. She was an instructional technologist at Dartmouth College for 11 years before becoming Director of Web Strategy and Design. In this role, she was responsible for planning and developing Dartmouth's digital environment, leading a team of user-experience professionals responsible for web and media design, development, and production. More recently, Sarah was Web Strategy Project Lead at Harvard University, responsible for strategy and user experience design for the Harvard Web Publishing Initiative. Sarah is currently Director of Accessible User Experience for The Paciello Group.

IT IS debatable how much the recent wave of mega-mergers in financial services owes to managerial empire-building and how much to sound business sense. Certainly, when Salomon Brothers, an investment bank, was acquired last September by Travelers, a financial conglomerate, many on Wall Street suspected that the deal had more to do with the considerable ego of Sandy Weill, the boss of Travelers, than with commercial logic. Such suspicions were reinforced on July 6th, when Salomon's American bond-arbitrage operation was closed. Salomon has long been Wall Street's premier bond-trading house. By shutting the arbitrage group, Mr Weill is ripping out the company's heart.
When he bought Salomon and merged it with Smith Barney, an investment bank already owned by Travelers, Mr Weill declared himself comfortable with his new acquisition's famously high-risk approach to trading. Previously, he had been an outspoken critic of Salomon's aggressive, confident and well-paid traders, who were memorably described in "Liar's Poker", by Michael Lewis, and satirised as "masters of the universe" in Tom Wolfe's "Bonfire of the Vanities". Perhaps the need to win the Federal Reserve's approval of another, bigger, merger between Travelers and Citicorp revived Mr Weill's natural caution.
Bond arbitrage involves spotting apparently unjustified differences in the prices of bonds with similar risks and placing huge bets that the prices will revert to their normal relationship. Travelers offers two reasons for abandoning this business in America (it will continue to pursue what it says are less risky bond-trading opportunities abroad). One is that bond arbitrage has become less profitable. The other is that those profits are increasingly volatile. There is some truth to both claims—but only over a ten-year period, not the mere nine months since Travelers bought Salomon.
Bond arbitrage was much easier in the 1980s, when Salomon's reputation was at its peak. Salomon's technology was ahead of everyone else's, allowing it to spot arbitrage opportunities faster than its competitors. This edge has eroded as financial engineering has become commonplace. Nor has the firm been helped by the defection of some of its top talent to rival arbitrageurs. These include Long Term Capital Management, founded in 1994 by John Meriwether, a former head of Salomon's bond-arbitrage group, and Convergence Asset Management, set up last year by Andrew Fisher, once a star Salomon mortgage trader. The success of firms such as these—which in Long Term Capital's case has been phenomenal—shows there is still good money to be made by skilled arbitrageurs.
True, the past couple of months have been difficult. Salomon's bond-arbitrage group reportedly lost $15m in the second quarter—peanuts in an inherently volatile business. But volatile earnings are a particular worry for a publicly traded company. It is hard for outside investors to tell if the volatility is due to bad luck or bad judgment. An arbitrage strategy cannot be explained to shareholders without giving it away, which may make it better suited to a private partnership than a public firm. And it may not be suited at all to a firm trying to convince regulators that there is no danger involved in creating the biggest financial company in America.

LockScreen Tweakbox Xposed Module Tweaks Your Lock Screen
Android (root): Even though you only pass through, you still spend plenty of time on your lock screen. It can help to ease some of the pains of visiting. That's where the LockScreen Tweakbox Xposed module comes in.
Knock Code Protects your Android from Unauthorized Access
Android (rooted): Some Android handsets support a "knock code" unlock feature—tapping on the screen in a certain pattern to gain access. An Xposed module can bring the same option to just about any rooted phone running Android 4.2 and above.
Siri Exploit Lets Anyone Skip the Lockscreen to Text or Call Contacts
The iPhone lockscreen has never been completely secure. Past exploits allowed random people to access your photos or to make calls with a few choreographed swipes. The latest, however, can grant access to your full contact list through Siri and let a stranger call, text, or email anyone they want from your number.
IntelliScreen X 7 Enhances Your iOS Lock Screen, Now Works with iOS 7
iOS (Jailbroken): IntelliScreen is one of the most popular reasons to jailbreak, and the new version, IntelliScreen X 7 is available for iOS 7. With it comes a ton of new ways to customize your lock screen, quick reply options for text messages, and more.
Three Ways to Improve Your Android's Lock Screen Security
Sure, Android users don't have fingerprint scanners (well, maybe one), but that doesn't mean you're stuck when it comes to security. Here are some of the best apps you can download to boost security on your phone without buying all-new hardware.
Ubuntu Lockscreen Adds Notifications and Ubuntu's Looks to Android
Android: If you like the look of Ubuntu Touch, or just Ubuntu's overall color scheme, Ubuntu Lockscreen can turn your boring old slide-to-unlock into something a bit more useful and fun to use. The app supports app notifications, SMS alerts, password unlock, and live animations, so it's functional and fun to use.
Apex Launcher Gets a New Interface, Badges, and DashClock Support
Android: Apex Launcher, one of our favorite Android launchers, unveiled a major update today, featuring a new UI, faster animations and transitions, better overall performance, and support for DashClock Widget, the lock screen utility we also love.
Supercharge Your Lock Screen with DashClock and These Add-Ons
If your phone is running Android Jelly Bean (4.2), you owe it to yourself to pick up DashClock Widget. The app itself already powers up your lock screen with useful notifications and tools, but dozens of great apps and other widgets hook into it to display useful information and give you control over your phone—all…
Peekly Overhauls Your iPhone Lock Screen with Hidden Weather and…
iOS (Jailbroken): The iPhone lock screen hasn't changed much since it was introduced, but if you're looking to get a little more information stuffed into it without cluttering the screen, Peekly is a new theme that adds a ton of useful information.
Notification LockScreen Widget for Android Does Exactly What It Sounds…
Android: Whenever you get a text, email, or missed call on your phone, you either have to unlock it or drag down the notification bar to see who it was. Notification LockScreen Widget adds a small, but much-needed feature to Android's default lock screen clock: an overview of all your notifications.
Galaxy Note 2 Bug Allows People to Bypass Your Lock Screen Code
If you Android users were feeling left out by all the lock screen bugs in iOS 6, you're in luck: one tweaker has found a similar vulnerability on the Galaxy Note 2. All an "attacker" would need to do is press a certain combination of buttons to get the home screen to flash. It's quick, but enough time for someone to…

Pam and Andrea congrats on Damien and Carson. Both boys are just gorgeous! Glad to hear you're all well
Hey Girls, just thought I would let you know that I delivered little Jake Allen on 4/17/09 via c-section. I went into labor 4 weeks early and he was breech, he weighed 6lbs 8oz and was 19 1/4 inches long!! Here are a few pics
Rachel- Jake is adorable!! And may I add, you looked fantastic for just having a baby!! Nice work Mama!!
I haven't updated in awhile, but we are having another girl! Allyson Ellory is due July 23rd. At 18 weeks I was diagnosed with complete placenta previa, but at my 28 week follow-up, it had completely resolved. At the scan, they gave me some cool 3D pics and it's amazing how much she looks like her big sister!
I'm dealing with migraine headaches and the usual aches and pains of pregnancy, but otherwise I am doing great. I have finally let myself believe that I'll be holding a healthy baby girl in my arms this summer and I can't wait!
I still check in here all the time. I can't wait for Rachel and Jana to get their BFP's soon.
******Baby dust****** to all of you!!
Jaime! What great pics, love the name too! And Sophia is getting so big! Congrats on another girl! I am just so excited for you! And thanks for thinking of me too!
Rachel, momma to 4
dd 9, ds 7, twin boys Dec 09
I nursed my twins for 2years and 2 weeks! A little sad to be all done now.
Aw Rachel, Jake is such a cutie. Congratulations momma! He's a great size for being early too. I hope you're enjoying every moment!
Congrats Rachel!!!!
Aly from May 09 had her baby as well. I've updated up to Rachel and Aly...I'll keep checking to see if Julie delivers earlier.
Congrats ladies!!!!
Hello girls...this update is long overdue!!
I had Sydney on March 24th, at 40 weeks, 4 days. I ended up being hospitalized about 2 weeks beforehand, they weren't sure if I had a gallbladder attack or a nasty kidney infection but that finally was resolved. I had alot of high blood pressure readings and had tons of non-stress tests. (which were new to me!) I started having contractions about 10 days before I had her. I was seeing my Dr. almost every day at the end and I had an appt. on Monday. I was dilated to 3 cm. She swept my membranes and when I got home, I was having regular contractions at around 6 pm. I thought this was it but they went away. I was so discouraged. I woke up at 1 am on Tuesday morning with contractions and they were pretty intense. I walked around for about an hour and woke up DH and said we better get to the hospital. We woke up the boys and called my mom. The drive to the hospital was about 30 mins. and my mom met us there, she was taking the boys to her house. We walked into the hospital at 3 am and got to the room about 3:15. They checked me and I was dilated to 9 cm!! They said no time for pain meds! (which I think I cried!! lol) I had her at 3:41 am and she was 7 lbs. 7 ozs. 20 1/2 inches long. She had no name for about an hour and then we decided on Sydney. She's a precious little treasure!!
congrats susie! I am glad all turned out so well, even though things were scary at the end! Where are the pics??

The Levi Cuss Band
A ground breaking local artist Levi Cuss has just recently returned from recording an album in Nashville under the guidance of renowned, Juno winning, producer Steve Dawson, who he met during his stint as resident artist at Banff School!
Levi's singing song writing style took root while he and his family lived in Costa Rica and blossomed after a short stay in Grand Forks, BC. Often said to be reminiscent of Bob Dylan, he is passionate about his music and using his lyrics to voice his concerns about what he sees as injustice in the world. His fabulous band consists of :
Al Sosnowski, freelance bassist and the newest addition, completed his BMus in jazz performance at Humber College in Toronto and has played and recorded for over twenty years. Equally comfortable playing jazz, blues, funk, R&B, reggae, Latin, afro/Cuban, folk, roots, rock, metal and prog, his bass influences include a plethora of musicians including Jaco Pastorius, Chuck Rainey and David Hood.
Bradford Lawlor, lead guitarist has been playing since the age of nine and studied intermittently with Lawrence Patzer for ten years. Playing in his high school jazz band and in the pit orchestra for several productions at Confederation Center of the Arts in Charlottetown, PEI were special but it wasn't until he moved to Red Deer in 2006 that his love of guitar and musical opportunities came into alignment and he became a fixture in the local music scene.
Carlos Copaban, who, last but not definitely not least, is the dynamic drummer. Carlos, who after sharing 30 years of experience and countless shows in 14 countries and across Canada delights in delivering his passion for drumming and sharing stages with all kinds of musicians and artists to any audience. Carlos is well versed in a variety of styles including rock, metal, jazz, country and Latin.
They look forward to seeing you at a show near you!


text: WHY YOU SHOULD OUTSOURCE YOUR MERCHANT ACCOUNT QUOTES Would you agree with the following statement? "Figuring out what a merchant is paying is a pain!" With credit card interchange rates constantly changing, many agents have difficulty reading statements and offering a merchant account quote. How much time do you think you have spent staring at merchant statements while still not being able to offer them a competitive rate quote and still make money? Is the merchant account priced as Standard tiered, Interchange-Plus, or the confusing ERR pricing? And what about those VISA/MasterCard fees that keep increasing? You no doubt have spent much time and effort trying to figure all this out only to get a headache. Perhaps you wish that you had spent that time selling instead. HOW TO GET MERCHANT ACCOUNT ANALYSIS Did you know that you can now have someone else do the tedious work of figuring out how much a merchant is paying to accept credit cards for their business as well as what rates to offer them in order to show significant savings each month? Furthermore, you have the option to choose how much you will make! Each completed analysis is very inexpensive and can be done quickly. The best part is that you can send the business to whoever you want. ADVANTAGES WITH MERCHANT STATEMENT ANALYSIS • Freedom to choose where you send your merchant account business • Offer multi-tiered, Interchange plus, or ERR pricing (even quotes from partial data) • Choose which fees to charge, such as: PCI, Dues and Assessments, Non-qualified surcharges, APF, NABU • Know how much you will earn on each account • Receive two versions of the same quote (extended and a one-page version) • Customizable quote sheet with your company logo and contact information • Payment made easy with PayPal And above all… SPEND MORE TIME SELLING AND MAKING MONEY…without the headaches! I look forward to working for you. Sincerely, Chris DuPont 425-361-1061 Phone email@example.com

Very relaxed
Posted Feb 28, 2015We got a room on the ground floor which was nice because the villas have direct beach access and the beach is beautiful (no surprise), and not too crowded. There are also all sorts of rentals available, a clubhouse, shuffleboard, lounge chairs facing the beach and pool. Bad: parking is a bit of a pain as most spots are reserved for owners of the villas - whether they're there or not. Also there's not a lot of demand they can meet on the rooms, e.g, it was my honeymoon and they could only offer two queen beds. The room was clean with cable but also outdated, and the wi-fi was inconsistent.

Nice condo villa at the beach
Posted Feb 13, 2015Pros: Proximity to beach. Also front desk and concierge personnel.
Cons: Better restaurant menu and more friendly servers.
Location: Location is good. Fairly short drives to other beaches and to other populated areas.
Front desk and concierge personnel were very helpful. Restaurant menu and some servers, except for one lady, were not as good.

Nice location
Posted Jan 24, 2015Pros: It was close to shopping, activities and resturants.
Cons: The bed was a bit hard.
Location: There was the submarine ride and aquarium nearby. The drive to hana is worth it! The drive to the south was also great at sunset. Attend a luau.
Overall the trip was awesome. Be sure to attend a luau and take part in the activities. The beach was a bit rough but otherwise it was great. Be sure to try the banana bread on the way to Hana and stop at the various waterfalls on the way there.

Luxury Holiday apartment, close to Beach,
Posted Jan 20, 2015Pros: As above
Cons: Improve customer relations by staff members, particularly the reception desk people.
The beach is very close, swimming pools and gardens immaculate. Value for money was great, and my stay was amazing. The room facilities were excellent, and I would recommend this. The only downside was the disinterested reception staff who didn't appear to welcome guests ....

Spacious room, good location.
Posted Jan 18, 2015Pros: The location was great. Right on the beach and close to shopping. 2 different pools. It was quiet which was great.
Cons: The wallpaper in the room defiantly needs to be replaced. Dated and stained in spots. Same with the textured celling.
Location: On the beach. Close to shopping, general store on the place whose prices weren't much worse than the grocery store. Only about 5 mins to Lahaina.
The room was spacious. Had a kitchenette and a spacious bathroom. The wallpaper was dated and stained in places. Had a nice sized balcony with table and chairs. Wifi was great. Router in the room. TV was awesome. Large screen smart tv. Overall we were happy with the room. The restaurant on the place wasn't my favorite. We ate there the first night and was spendy and not great. However the place had several grills for guests use. We grilled fresh fish a couple of times while there.

Quiet bit of paradise
Posted Jan 15, 2015Pros: See above
Cons: Update the units - each is owner decorated but there probably needs to be a certain standard. Get rid of the road ;)
Location: See above
We like the villas. Yes, some units are dated, but its a quiet friendly place. You never fight for a lounger - people take their stuff with them, because everyone does so there are always seats (how many towels are the main occupants of loungers at big resorts?). The grounds are beautiful. We had to move units this time as the traffic is so loud on the four lane highway behind the condos, that we couldn't sleep. But the staff were very accommodating in helping us change condos to a poolside one (for an upgrade fee, but we slept). It's right on kaanapali beach -the quiet side, you can walk to Whalers Village and Lahaina is just down the way. We like to eat in so the kitchens are great. We travelled with a 15 and 17 year old, and they want to go back, even when offered the more active area of Kihei. Think that says it all!

Nontrivial edge coupling from a Dirichlet network squeezing: the case of a bent waveguide (2007)

In distinction to the Neumann case the squeezing limit of a Dirichlet network leads in the threshold region generically to a quantum graph with disconnected edges, exceptions may come from threshold resonances. Our main point in this paper is to show that modifying locally the geometry we can achieve in the limit a nontrivial coupling between the edges including, in particular, the class of δ-type boundary conditions. We work out an illustration of this claim in the simplest case when a bent waveguide is squeezed.

Romulan Science Consoles missing
Why is there only some of the science consoles available in the Fleet Romulan Embassy shuttlebay? Why are the two most useful ones (to me, for PvE), the Field Generator MK XII and the Shield Emitter Amplifier MK XII not available as plasma infused?
From a PvE standpoint this kind of sucks, because right now escorts use science slots for universal consoles. If we are going to switch our universals to eng slots then I would like to not be a complete glass cannon, and Field Generators help with that significantly.
Anyhow. I would think that to get some use of the tons of fleet marks and dilithium we are spending to upgrade our embassy, it would be nice to get the more useful consoles.
Or at least have a choice.

For Warren Rochelle, professor of English, a class is a conversation where knowledge goes both ways. "Classes are conversations between students and the professor. Knowledge isn't static," he said. "We make and discover meaning in conversation, whether it is a conversation with self, with a text, and in this case, in a classroom, with those who are participating in the class. Students bring knowledge to the table, as does the professor, and then through the give-and-take of a class discussion, through responses to a lecture, through blog posts, meaning is explored and developed." His goal is for students to achieve mastery of the subject and feel engaged with the material. To make the coursework come alive for his students, Rochelle encourages discussions in small groups. An accomplished science fiction writer in his own right and one of the Princeton Review's 300 Best Professors, Rochelle's passion for fantasy and science fiction is evident in his classes. … [Read more...]

Clemson University scientists are shedding new light on how invasion by exotic plant species affects the ability of soil to store greenhouse gases. The research could have far-reaching implications for how we manage agricultural land and native ecosystems.
In a paper published in the scientific journal New Phytologist, plant ecologist Nishanth Tharayil and graduate student Mioko Tamura show that invasive plants can accelerate the greenhouse effect by releasing carbon stored in soil into the atmosphere.
Since soil stores more carbon than both the atmosphere and terrestrial vegetation combined, the repercussions for how we manage agricultural land and ecosystems to facilitate the storage of carbon could be dramatic.
In their study, Tamura and Tharayil examined the impact of encroachment of Japanese knotweed and kudzu, two of North America's most widespread invasive plants, on the soil carbon storage in native ecosystems.
They found that kudzu invasion released carbon that was stored in native soils, while the carbon amassed in soils invaded by knotweed is more prone to oxidation and is subsequently lost to the atmosphere.
The key seems to be how plant litter chemistry regulates the soil biological activity that facilitates the buildup, composition and stability of carbon-trapping organic matter in soil.
"Our findings highlight the capacity of invasive plants to effect climate change by destabilizing the carbon pool in soil and shows that invasive plants can have profound influence on our understanding to manage land in a way that mitigates carbon emissions," Tharayil said.
Tharayil estimates that kudzu invasion results in the release of 4.8 metric tons of carbon annually, equal to the amount of carbon stored in 11.8 million acres of U.S. forest.
This is the same amount of carbon emitted annually by consuming 540 million gallons of gasoline or burning 5.1 billion pounds of coal.
"Climate change is causing massive range expansion of many exotic and invasive plant species. As the climate warms, kudzu will continue to invade northern ecosystems, and its impact on carbon emissions will grow," Tharayil said.
The findings provide particular insight into agricultural land-management strategies and suggest that it is the chemistry of plant biomass added to soil rather than the total amount of biomass that has the greatest influence on the ability of soil to harbor stable carbon.
"Our study indicates that incorporating legumes such as beans, peas, soybeans, peanuts and lentils that have a higher proportion of nitrogen in its biomass can accelerate the storage of carbon in soils," Tharayil said.
Thrarayil's lab is following up this research to gain a deeper understanding of soil carbon storage and invasion.
Tharayil leads a laboratory and research team at Clemson that studies how the chemical and biological interactions that take place in the plant-soil interface shape plant communities. He is also the director of Clemson's Multi-User Analytical Laboratory, which provides researchers with access to highly specialized laboratory instruments.
This research was partially supported by a USDA Grant (2009-35320-05042) and an NSF Grant (DEB-1145993). Any opinions, findings and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.

I can't begin to estimate how many hours I played Streets of Sim City as a little kid. Me and my childhood friend John would stay up night playing this game, until the computer would literally freeze. Playing this game for the first time in 8 years, I've come to realize one thing. God, we we're idiots. Streets of Sim City is a very bad game. But....in some ways, it is kind of fun. Sure, the graphics suck, the AI is terrible, and the controls are completely and totally shit, but there are some m...

Hi, Im a mac user, and I have played lol over at one of my friends house. I thought it was so awesome, so the last month I've tried everything to get to play it. Some people say that Riot has pushed "LoL to mac" back in the line. Because of that I just wanted to know if someone knew when I can be able to play LoL on mac. Thanks

Now ? Use a Windows OS on your mac to load Legaue of legends ? I cannot remember what its called, but it is possible.

I still want to know WHY is the town's attorney representing this man? I bet the town could think of better ways to spend there tax dollars than having to pay for this man's mistakes. Cox is an idiot that got charged doing something wrong and thinks he can just say the officer misunderstood him in impersonating a police officer when the officer understood him completely or the charges wouldn't have been filed against him. We try to teach our kids to own up to there responsibility's when they have done wrong and learn from there mistakes and so should this man! The town's board should have Cox on a leave of absents until this matter is solved but its all about Ive got your back if you've got mine in this town. »

Still looking
I've finally got DH to see a little reason in that we shouldn't use Elena since our niece is Delana, even though it makes us sad, haha.
He has moved on a little and likes Emmeline. He wants to pronounce it 'Emma-line' (like Caroline) and I asked a couple of friends and this is how they pronounce it as well (we are the southern US, so I expected this).
I know that Emmeline is the 'traditional' spelling, but to me it reads as 'em-line' and Emmaline reads as we are pronouncing it..? What are your thoughts on this?
Also, we still want to use Elaine, so it would be Emmaline Elaine V., lots of L's and E's.... unless someone has a suggestion on how to still honor Elaine with this name?

I like both spellings! I know this isn't much help, haha. I don't think the traditional spelling looks too much like 'em-line' so I think you'd be okay going with that.
May 23rd, 2013 11:47 PM #5
I don't think anyone would mispronounce Emmeline. The traditional spelling is much nicer.

I would pronounce Emmeline as emma-leen and Emmaline as emma-line (there doesn't seem to be much logic to that, does there...). I live in Ontario, Canada though so it may be a regional thing. I do find Emmaline Elaine really repetitive because there are so many of the similar sounds- almost redundant. Actually, at a stretch I think Emmaline would honour Elaine- it has all the letters in Elaine, and if you switch the "a" and "l" in Emmaline they would be in the right order.

Jennifer and Shirtless Ben Show Off Beach Bodies and Baby Samuel
The whole Garner-Affleck family spent a day on the beach in Puerto Rico on Monday. Ben Affleck went shirtless, revealing his multiple tattoos, while Jennifer Garner showed off her postbaby body in a swimsuit. Their girls, Violet and Seraphina, splashed around in the waves while little Samuel hung out on the sand with Jennifer. On Sunday, Jennifer and the kids traveled to the Caribbean island, where Ben has been filming Runner, Runner with Justin Timberlake. Ben and Justin have shared a few scenes together, though Justin's been on location solo as well. He had company from fiancée Jessica Biel, though, when she popped up in a bikini on the beach there late last month.

Gracenotes and iTunes in lyrics talks
A deal between Apple iTunes and Gracenotes may be in the works according to this recent Reuters report posted by PC Magazine. Gracenotes has gained the rights to legally distribute lyrics from BMG, Universal Music, Sony/ATV and other content providers. A deal between iTunes and Gracenote is a natural evolution of this acquisition, similar to the existing agreement that allows Gracenote to supply iTunes with track information. Gracenotes CEO Craig Palmer expects lyrics to provide up to $100 million in annual revenues by a decade from now. An iTunes deal would create a portion of those revenues.
TUAW recently showed readers how to add lyrics to iPods using iTunes' current features.

Neighbors cry foul over OPRF umpires' costume change
The life of a baseball umpire can be tough at times. Whether it's being questioned — loudly — by a coach, player or fan about the strike zone, or taking a foul ball or errant throw off an undesirable portion of the anatomy, or just having a generally rough day at the office, a certain amount of respect, perhaps even a touch of empathy, should be afforded the thankless task of umpiring.
The men (and women) in blue are an essential element and must exercise good judgment between the lines of a baseball field. Like all effective sports officials, the best umpires go unnoticed.
Unfortunately, some umpires have been a little too visible, according to homeowners who live on Linden Avenue and Ontario Street.
Reportedly, they have elected to change into their game gear on the streets adjacent to OPRF before a ballgame. The unwelcome and allegedly unsightly "quick change" maneuver has aroused protestations of a different sort.
In other words, "Umpires Gone Wild" is probably not a reality show spectators are eager to see.
One local shutterbug photographed one of the offenders from a second-floor apartment. All that was missing was a feather boa and David Rose's signature melody, "The Stripper," blaring in the background.
Make no mistake, the undressing of umpires is a serious and recurring issue that needs to be addressed, and OPRF athletic director John Steltzer has acted swiftly and spoken with the West Suburban Conference baseball umpire assignment chair, who in turn has notified the umpires that using the streets as a locker room is unacceptable. Last season, the issue was also addressed and rectified. This spring, a reminder about "changing clothes in private" was evidently required.
The assignor concluded his e-mail reminder with the following: "Please help out and dress in the locker room provided. If you have any questions, please let me know."
The school has made the Oak Park Stadium football locker room available for baseball officials to change clothes. Hopefully this will resolve any questions about where to put on one's Fruit of the Looms.
Spring weather is finally showing signs of coming around after a brutal patch of rainy, windy and overcast conditions. Attention can now turn back to the baseball field where Chris Ledbetter's Huskies are gearing up for another state title run.
As for the umpires who will call OPRF games the rest of the season, your work is valuable and appreciated. When you bellow "Play Ball," it's music to every baseball fan's ears.
Even the neighbors, who like you much better in blue than white.

Get a life. Umpires in their underwear are much more discreet than most swimmers in bathing suits. A water polo player or swimmer is a lot worse than an umpire. Unless guys are standing out there and walking around or stripping down completely naked or something, leave them alone. Most locker rooms are nowhere near the baseball fields and there is typically no place to secure gear in a locker room. These people must be bored to death.

What a stupid story, there stripping down to there boxers for a second. And the other option is to walk a block into the school. No worse then the pool. These residents are crazy.

We don't look forward to having to change clothes in the street, but if private areas are not provided there is simply no choice. The vast majority of game site locations for youth, high school, and college ball below the D II level give no thought to this issue. We are expected to be at the games early and change wherever we can find parking. We try to be discrete but if a neighbor wants to film us from a second-story window instead of going about his business there isn't much that can be done.

I can almost guarantee no one is getting naked out there. I where boxer briefs with a pair of longer sliding shorts over them. You see more skin with a bathing suit. If it were me, I'd be looking for a more accommodating league with neighbors who display more common decency and common sense.
Perry Barber from New York

High school and college umpires aren't always provided with decent changing facilities, so we make do with our cars or secluded areas to change into and out of our gear. If OPRF is so concerned about this problem, it should ensure that safe, clean facilities are made available to the umpires close enough so that it's not a five mile walk between the locker room and the field. Most umpires would PREFER to change in private over public displays of nudity, but we aren't always offered that luxury.
Dave from Oak Park
Posted: May 3rd, 2013 4:07 PM
Thanks for giving some press to this! Living near the high school is a mixed blessing and it has been frustrating to have to repeat our requests for common decency year after year after year. Maybe this will improve the issue!

Best moblie for reception - advice please
Likes # 0
Posted May 16, 2008 at 4:35PM
I am about to be offered a upgrade phone from my service provider (vodafone) and I would like to ask people if some phones have better reception than others.
The reason I ask is because I currently have a samsung U700 and I used to have a samsung Z720V and both of these phones dont get the service reception that my old old nokia 6230 did.
You can be in an area on the farm I work on and have no signal on either samsung then you put the sim in the old nokia 6230 and you get a signal !!!
This makes me think that some phones (even if they are old ones) have a better chance of getting a stronger reception/signal than others.
Can anyone advise me on what phones are known to get good signal strength and is this a known problem with samsung phones?

Posted May 16, 2008 at 6:23PM
almost as many answers to this as there are phones, but for what it's worth my current phone - a Motorola RAZR2 V8 - seems to give me the best signal of any phone I've had so far, and I've had a few, believe me.
The voice quality is just stunning - due, so Motorola tells me, to their 'CrystalTalk' technology.
Frankly, there are so many variables when it comes to signal strengths that it's virtually impossible to be assertive about a particular phone. As far as I'm concerned the Motorola is excellent. It's already travelled around with me quite a bit, and it hasn't let me down yet.

It all depends on what provider has the best signal in your area.If you have an old phone and can open it to any provider.Try different Sim cards to see what gives the best signal,[Orange.o2.Virgin whatever.]Try them all ,but I suppose you have already tried that.Like the Forum editor I only use Nokia phones and most give excellent signals.I have just moved to Virgin after being with orange for about 10 years and the signal is a bit up and down.Never had any problems with Orange but got a good deal from Virgin 300 calls and 300 text messages for £10 a month and I am now regretting the move because of the poor signal. But will have a good look at FE's Motorola RAZR2 V8 High praise indeed so worth a look.

Well, this sure is something. This is the first album review I've done in a while where that's all I can come up with. Veteran duo Darkthrone's new album "Circle the Wagons" is akin to listening to a random mash-up of the Misfits, GWAR and Venom. Although, it's assembled out of pieces of those three, more than a proper accumulation of their talents.
Devil to Pay is a band who has crafted their sound from one sweat-soaked gig in a dingy, disgusting roadhouse after another. The more the exercise continues, the dirtier the band's sound becomes. Constant exposure to the insatiably hungry dregs of ugly riff-based metal fandom has caused Devil to Pay to embark on an endless quest to find the deepest, nastiest, most infectious and punishing riff ever devised. To that end, they've released their new album, "Heavily Ever After."
Type O Negative and Carnivore lead singer Peter Steele passed away Wednesday, April 14th, 2010 at age 48. Spokesmen for the family, label and band have confirmed that Steele died of apparent heart failure.
Sick Puppies are a confident band with a walking, natural swagger that pours out from the stage to their audience.
The Webster Theater in Hartford is not an especially friendly venue. It doesn't boast any particular character or amazing features. Rather, it is just an open space with a stage and some bars, painted over to make it look grander than it is. The walls are decked with signs telling customers in no uncertain terms what they cannot do; no smoking, no moshing, no crowd surfing, no stage diving, etc. Lucky for the Webster Theater, that doesn't prevent the shows inside from being excellent. So, I walked in for Killfest 2010.
Even if you've never heard Devil to Pay's 2004 album "Thirty Pieces of Silver," you've probably heard it. It might have been under a different name, or written in a different era, but it will set off alarms of familiarity from first dense note to last.
Every note of dirty, ugly drudgery is like a visit from an old, familiar friend. Each phrase is taken from the textbook of sludge metal, and the distortion is up so high that there aren't notes or chords so much as emotional responses.
I hate it when this happens. You have a band that's at a creative crossroads. They can take their music in one of two directions, and they pick the wrong one.
And so we see Fireball Ministry, I band I have credited with a forgotten classic on these very pages, headed the wrong way on their new, self-titled album. Confronted with the intersection of edgy rock and roll and country-shaded metal, Fireball Ministry took the path of toward mainstream rock and the possibility of commercial appeal.
It's been a long and twisted road since "Calculating Infinity," hasn't it?
"Option Paralysis," the newly released work from mathcore veterans and acquired taste The Dillinger Escape Plan, is an attempt to get back some of what the band has lost over time.
The idea behind east coast thrash metallers Arsis is a good one. With "Starve for the Devil" the band has attempted to bridge the gap between European style artistic metal and American-born biting, ugly metal. The end result gets caught in the tug of war between the two ideologies and never really bursts through to meld them creatively.
You know what my favorite Fear Factory album is? Demanufacture. Do you know why? Because that album is explosive but rhythmic, deadly and passionate while still crafted and artful.
For all their metal bravado and reputation, Fear Factory's strongest asset has always been their secret ability to balance ferocity and fragility. They used to be able to precariously dance on the precipice of "too much," all the while performing a both destructive and inventive form of heavy metal.
