I get on in about two hours of waiting time, but then I can't access the individual threads. I agree that live scoring should be banned, and the site should increase accessability. THere is no need for live scoring, you just need to go to the tournament website. If WTA WORLD goes down for good, I will be way too bored. Rhythmboy 08-23-2002, 04:29 PM why will you loose? if they can't post results either ;) eta psi 08-23-2002, 04:37 PM Well, I can't log into WTAworld either, or rather I could log into the main page but can't access specific threads. :( I don't think banning scores is a good Idea. That's the main reason I come to this website. Especially, once school starts I won't have the time to look for live scoreboards all over the Net. It's centralised at WTAworld and I like it that way :) But, I think they should ban cheering players in a score thread and that will may be minimize the problem? Or how about banning smilies? :D Mags 08-23-2002, 04:45 PM Poe has said that the problem is something to do with the number of people browsing the system at once rather than space. Also those who have managed to get on have posted the list of current users and they include people who then say they aren't logged in (including myself). It seems the system may not be logging people off I don't know properly. Hopefully the problem will be identified and sorted soon :D King Aaron 08-24-2002, 10:54 AM it's sorted now :D karenrac 09-09-2002, 05:57 PM I can't get into wtaworld at all now :( Irish 09-09-2002, 06:56 PM :wavey: Hi Karen.

Everyone's favorite pregnant teenager is looking for a house y'all! Jamie Lynn Spears and her "boyfriend" Casey Aldridge are house hunting and looking to settle in somewhere before Jamie gives birth in two months.
The couple have been looking at homes in Mississippi and reportedly made an offer of $300,000 on a three-bedroom house in the town of Liberty.
An insider says, "Jamie Lynn is really excited over having a home of her own."
Poor little Jamie got so much attention last year when she announced her pregnancy and now Mom and Dad practically live in LA so they can look after Brit. It's a hard knock life.

Measurement of triplet optical densities of organic compounds in the presence of photodecomposition
Applied Optics, Vol. 31, Issue 9, pp. 1261-1266 (1992)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (723 KB)
We have developed a method to measure triplet optical densities ODr(λ) when considerable photodecomposition is present. The method is demonstrated on Coumarin 120. By focusing an UV cw laser beam on a sample with the aid of a lens, high triplet optical densities ODT(λ) can be recorded. However, the excitation of organic compounds with light causes varying degrees of photodecomposition. In order to take photodecomposition into account, one records triplet optical-density values as well as the accumulation of absorbing photoproducts as a function of time. Turning off the cw laser excitation, one records the accumulation of photoproducts only. Separating the two processes, one can determine how the triplet optical density ODT declines as a function of time t. The obtained curve can be expressed with an equation that appears to decline exponentially with time. This allows one to extrapolate back to t = 0 and recover ODT when there was no photodecomposition. The extrapolated ODT values are used to obtain triplet-extinction coefficients ∊T(λ) by McClure's method of Coumarin 120.

Quote:Probably the precursor to a fast full frame body, is one way of interpreting the inclusion of an internal t/c, strange indeed, the extender will need to be good.
Should be a good as the new MK3 stand alone version - maybe even better if they tailor the design for the new lens.
precursor to a fast full frame body? Maybe, but it's a very usefull feature to have no matter what body you mount it on.
As I understand, the Nikon version, has been one of the bigger reasons why a number of pros moved from Canon to Nikon a few yeas ago - so maybe Canon are just trying extra hard to trump Nikon?
Depending on its price and weight I wonder if this lens might replace the 300mm f2.8 IS L's position as the "walkaround" wildlife lens that many I know use it for. I'm certainly excited (70-200mm + 200-400mm sounds like a very nice combo!) though the price I agree will easily be pushing £7+ on release.
Sadly its also only a development notice so it might be a year or more before it actually gets its release notice - time to save for us mortals, but still a long while to wait still.

Quote:£5-6k is very optimistic. Maybe £5-6k after a year or two but at launch £7K+ IMO. Bear in mind the new 500L II is £9500 at launch and the 300 f2.8II £7500.
I was thinking that as well, probably closer to £8-10k at launch, which they say is scheduled for 2011, but that probably means late 2012 before it is available in the UK.
Matt, I think the recent 70-300 is effectively the 100-400 replacement.

Correct Spelling, Canceled
As an American, I laugh at those archaic British spellings. Colour? Honour? Their inferiourity, if you will, is obvious. Centre? Theatre? Ridiculous. Most of these barbaric forms were corrected in America hundreds of years ago. Yet one galling Britishism is appearing on my computer screen all too frequently of late: "cancelled," with a gratuitous extra l.
Does something about Obamacare drive otherwise reasonable people to write about health plans being "cancelled" instead of "canceled"? Does the prospect of intrusive government involvement in health care cause us to regress? Is it subconscious deference to British and Canadian expertise at imposing socialized medicine? Whatever the cause, it needs to stop.
Noah Webster, our greatest spelling reformer, understood that creating a distinctive American language was part and parcel of being a great nation.
"A capital advantage of this reform in these states would be, that it would make a difference between the English orthography and the American," he wrote in one of his earliest essays. "A national language is a band of national union. Every engine should be employed to render the people of this country national; to call their attachments home to their own country; and to inspire them with the pride of national character."
Moreover, his most important spelling changes fixed largely indefensible mistakes. Thus, American spellings are clearly superior to British.
"Under the Norman princes, when every effort of royal authority was exerted to crush the Saxons and obliterate their language," Webster wrote. "The o of the Latin honor, as well as the u of the French honeur was retained in the terminating syllable. Hence for some centuries, our language was disfigured with a class of mongrels."
The British insist still on those dogs.
Similarly, that gratuitous double l never made sense. As Webster's dictionary explained: "There is a large class of words ending in a single consonant, and accented on some other syllable than the last, doubled in their derivatives, unnecessarily and contrarily to analogy."
There is simply no reason l should be treated differently than any other consonant. It took some time, but Webster's logical, consistent rule became standard American usage.
Google's Ngram feature searches the vast library of books Google has digitized. A search for "traveller" and "traveler" shows the British version remained dominant in America throughout the 19th century, but by 1915 the single l version overtook it and is now dominant. Merriam-Webster even touts "traveler" as an example of a Noah Webster triumph.
It took longer for "canceled" to triumph over "cancelled," according to Google Ngram. The single l version didn't take the lead until 1942, and they remained competitive for the next 40 years before "canceled" took the lead for good in 1983. As of 2000, the most recent year covered by the Google data, the now-standard American version was used over 73 percent of the time. The double l monstrosity appeared destined to finally disappear. In 2010, the Associated Press helpfully reminded the world that their style guide says "canceled" has one l.
Yet lately it seems everywhere I look there are American publications going British on this word. It's baffling. If we are slouching towards a British-style health care system, we should at least spell the canceling of all those health plans in the correct American fashion.

1. Selfmade headband 2. Primark necklace, ring 3. Snapmade phonecase 4. Grandma's 4711 5. Oasap lace blouse
(Title: Matt Corby - Brother. He is amazing, hear his songs! And see his face!)
Ah there are some new thingies that I've gotten lately. I really try not to shop and for now it is going allright. Still there are some 'new in' items. This beautiful lace crop blouse came in last week and it's from Oasap. I love this white crop blouse, the lace on the bottom is so lovely and it has a sort of off-sleeves. For now that is a bit too cold, but I can't wait to make an outfit post with this one! You can see the top on Oasap here (click). This afternoon I made the headband you see on the second photo. I love the gypsy print it has. This headband would be perfect to wear to a festival or just on a summer day.
The phone case comes from Snapmade.com, which is such a nice webshop! There you can choose a product (phone cases, bags, t-shirts) and then design it yourself. I picked a phone case and designed it with this crystal photograph and put my name on it. The script is from snapmade too; they have so many options for your designs. The vintage bottle was one of my grandmothers. I love the design on that one and it still smells so fresh! Sorry for all the links in this post, but they are worth a click. Especially the Matt Corby link. What do you think of these new items?

Auditors warn that agencies might miss the program's October deadline
GAO report: "Electronic Government: Agencies Face Challenges in Implementing New Federal Employee Id
Congressional auditors are concerned that federal agencies lack sufficient guidance from the Office of Management and Budget on how to conduct background checks on foreign nationals before issuing them computer-readable identity credentials. Beginning Oct. 27, agencies must issue smart cards to federal employees and contractors.
Government Accountability Office auditors warn in a new report that the federal government might miss the October deadline. The GAO report also questions whether the federal government can accomplish the major objective of the secure identity credentialing program: a standard credential that authorized employees can use to access federal facilities and federal information systems.
OMB has agreed to let some agencies meet the deadline by implementing transitional smart card systems that don't fully meet the technical standard, known as Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201. OMB has not set a deadline for agencies using transitional systems to adopt the FIPS 201 standard.
Meanwhile, agencies face significant management challenges in testing and buying smart cards and card readers that meet the FIPS 201 standard. GAO is also concerned that agencies will struggle with budget uncertainties and unknown costs.
The auditors criticize OMB for providing incomplete guidance on how FIPS 201 applies to securing federal facilities and information systems and to verifying the identities of federal employees and contractors. "We disagree with GAO's assertion that our guidance is 'incomplete,' " wrote Karen Evans, administrator for e-government and information technology at OMB, in a letter.
GAO recommended that OMB's director monitor agencies' progress in complying with the FIPS 201 standard by establishing reporting procedures. Evans said OMB would monitor the program using its existing management and budget tools.

SF giants 2, National Media 0
SF giants 2, National Media 0
follow me on the twitter @rcplans
I thought it was refreshing to see a baseball bounce off someone's head and NOT go for a home run.
Death comes when memories of the past exceed the vision for the future.
Saw this great photoshop job, and had to share:
"Growth is inevitable and desirable, but destruction of community character is not. The question is not whether your part of the world is going to change. The question is how." -- Edward T. McMahon, The Conservation Fund
No gloating here, but I am getting pretty sick and tired of hearing how the tigers are not doing this, or that from ESPN, MLB network, etc. How about expcept the fact that:
a) Pablo has owned Verlander (including the tripple in the All-Star game) and is locked and in the zone right now
b) The Tigers blew a chance to score by sending Fielder home knowing that the Giants have superior fielding
c) The Giants have out pitched the Tigers in both Starting Rotation and Bullpen
follow me on the twitter @rcplans
I think it's because they took out the Yanks in 4 in pretty convincing fashion. Before that, no one, including its own fan base, thought the Tigers would get this far in the playoffs.
We (Tigers fans) had to hear the same stuff when we beat the Yanks.
I am pretty angry about last night's game, more so than the drubbing we took in game one. I don't care who you are, you can't get 2 hit in the World Series, let alone against someone who Bochy wasn't even sure he wanted to start. SF simply played a better baseball game. The Tigers, in typical fashion, are a softball team just trying to wack the hell out of the ball. And that's fine, but then what the hell is Lamont sending Fielder home then with no outs?

No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.

Congrats to the Giants indeed. What an inopportune time to go into an offensive slump. Oh well, it was a good run and it was fun while it lasted. Thankfully we have Cabrera, Fielder, Scherzer, Fister, Verlander, and some other key pieced locked in for a few more years and Martinez will be back from injury in 2013. Hopefully we can re-sign Sanchez since he was phenomenal once he arrived and pick up a new closer.
Only 159 days until opening day next season!
In other MLB news, my daughter and I were walking home from the farmer's market yesterday morning and stopped in the park to play on the swings when we met Brian Wilson from the Giants. I wanted to get a picture of him pushing my daughter on the swing or holding her but she had a meltdown anytime he and his gigantic, comically colored beard got too close. Despite all the 'roid rage though, he seemed like a nice enough guy and was very personable to the couple of fans who recognized and approached him while he was hanging out.

What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.15 / 5.00 3,866 ViewsWell I love this song, its short and sweet, same with my video for it.. well.. short at least. I spent alot of time on it though, and am fairly pleased.
Cool Stuff
Thats a great job, man, I'd love to see you do Hyponize's Soldier Side in the same style, maybe make it a continuation from this one, or, flash back to the first cartoon. You know when in Hypnotize's version it reverts back to the original soldier side, but more hardcore? You can continue from where the bomb was in the air at that point and it'd look pretty cool, in my opinion.
and whoever was below me, what are you talking about? he did the full song, there's two soldier sides. One for Mesmerise, the other for Hypnotize.
i didnt like that song when i first bought the album, but then it grew on me and now i really like it...but that was crap...you did a music video and didnt animate the whole song
wasn't waht i was expecting
when i read the title i thought it was giong to be the song not the into. this could be a great intro though if u use the soldier side song from hypnotize. you can do a flash back leading up to the end of this. i love the style good job
I'm a fan of system of a down and i also love the Flash Movies people give up there time to make, i didn't like this one for a reason, i was expecting the Proper Soilder Side from the Hypnotized Album, Now if you did that, I would give ya better rating, good flash though, but try and put the decent version of SS on :P

Chip Kelly reportedly wants his former Oregon Duck Marcus Mariotta to be his quarterback. But Mariotta would not be the only one if a new report of a trade is true. This trade is one that will sting Eagles fans, because it involves perhaps their most popular player.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the bombshell that LeSean McCoy will be moved:
Filed to ESPN: Bills have notified LB Kiko Alonso he is going to be traded to Philadelphia for RB LeSean McCoy. Trade official next week.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 3, 2015
Alonso played for Kelly from 2008 to 2012 at the University of Oregon.
This recent flurry of moves makes one thing clear: Chip Kelly is now in charge of Eagles personnel. Despite the fact that Howie Roseman made comments recently that he is not in favor of a Marcus Mariotta trade, this move seems to cement Kelly's place in making decisions. And now, we know that Kelly favors his former Oregon players.
Alonso was drafted by the Bills in the second round of the 2013 draft.

Outside Magazine Online - 7 Questions with Mountaineer Mom Sophie Helenek
7 Questions with Mountaineer Mom Sophie Helenek
"Raising our baby girl is our new Everest."
You can call Sophie Helenek many things: a recovering investment banker, the youngest French woman to climb Mount Everest, and—as of 2013—a mother. But having her daughter wasn't going to terminate Helenek's six-year love affair with climbing. We caught up with Helenek via email to talk about staying active during pregnancy, exploring with babies, and
her book series
written for infants.
- How did you make the decision to start a family?
- How did you stay active and fit during your pregnancy?
- Has it been difficult to get back into shape since having the baby?
- Describe the process of writing your books.
- How do you incorporate books into parenting?
- As an adult, what books do you enjoy?
Do you encourage your daughter to lead an active, adventurous life?

New mom in 2013 I also embarked on the new journey of writing a baby book series
Imagine the wonder as a mother's face becomes clear to a baby who has only heard her voice before? At birth, a newborn's vision is between 20/200 and 20/400; by eight months their acuity improves to 20/30.
Therefore, infants reflexively prefer to look at high-contrast edges and patterns. So, imagine their ongoing propensity to learn as their senses develop each day.
New to bookshelves, the
My First Book
series, by
Sophie Helenek,
includes four delightful board books, specially dedicated to infant's developmental growth milestones.
Each of the four books,
FRUITS, SKY WONDERS, SHAPES and MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
include high contrast, black and white and bold color illustrations which promote visual and speech stimulation. Each picture is accompanied by a simple word that your bundle of joy will love repeating and which will help their speech development. They are not just picture books or bedtime stories but rather activity books conceived to stimulate a baby's senses.
"These books are not for parents, they are for their beautiful babies—to learn and to grow," says Helenek.
"I wanted to provide parents a way to captivate, interact and bond with their baby that also aids in the child's developmental growth."

A novel look at how stories may change the brain
Reading a novel can make real, physical changes to your brain, according to research from Emory University. For two weeks, study participants read sections of a novel in the evenings, then had their brains scanned in the morning to track structural changes. Researchers found increased connectivity in areas of the brain associated with receptivity to language, as well as motor areas — which may explain why it can feel like you're transported into the body of a character.
"The neural changes that we found associated with physical sensation and movement systems suggest that reading a novel can transport you into the body of the protagonist," Berns says. "We already knew that good stories can put you in someone else's shoes in a figurative sense. Now we're seeing that something may also be happening biologically."
Researchers believe that the increased connectivity is lasting, like a muscle memory, since these effects were still seen days after the novel was finished. Is there a novel that's made a big impact on your brain?

Want To Be More Productive? Buy Some Desk Plants
Adding a plant to your workspace could boost your cognition and help you be more productive. Two recent studies found that participants performed better at attention tasks while seated at a desk surrounded by plants and flowers than while seated at an empty desk. These findings add to past research showing the benefits nature can have on cognition. Researchers believe that because nature engages our minds in an effortless way, it offers our brains a micro-restorative break from tasks — like working — that require us to pay direct attention. Do you have plants near your work station, or do you have a view of nature from your desk?

Your Social Circle Decoded ?
No matter how many friends you have on Facebook, the number of truly close friends you can maintain throughout your life may be hardwired. Researchers logged the phone calls of teenagers transitioning out of high school and into either the workforce or college for 18 months. Even as the teens made new friends, the structure of their social circles remained the same: if they had four close friends at the beginning of the study, they had four at the end of the study as well -- though not always the same four friends. Each of us appears to have an individual "social signature" that determines how much time and emotional capital we have to expend on our friends. Has the number of close friends you have remained constant over time?

As the study of Palaeolithic technologies moves towards a more analytical approach, it is necessary to determine a consistent procedural framework. The contributions to this timely and comprehensive volume do just that. This volume incorporates a broad chronological and geographical range of Palaeolithic material from the Lower to Upper Palaeolithic. The focus of this volume is to provide an analysis of Palaeolithic technologies from a quantitative, empirical perspective. As new techniques, particularly quantitative methods, for analyzing Palaeolithic technologies gain popularity, this work provides case studies showcasing these new techniques. Employing diverse case studies, and utilizing multivariate approaches, morphometrics, model-based approaches, phylogenetics, cultural transmission studies, and experimentation, this volume provides insights from international contributors at the forefront of recent methodological advances.

Mark is the political editor of the Sunday Mail.
THE Scottish Labour Leader has called for a £2 cap on stakes, which he thinks will curb problems with punters spending too much too quickly.
SENIOR politicians and trade unionists aim to distance Scottish Labour from London leadership.
THE Deputy First Minister tells of her disappointment over NO vote - and of her determination to make Scotland into a better place.
THE comedian, whose Balamory star wife Julie has also signed up, said there was no reason to 'go quietly back to sleep' after Yes vote lost.
DESPITE losing the referendum on Thursday, the deputy First Minister revealed that the nationalist party have increased their membership by 20 per cent to a record 30,000 members.
Yes expected to win in Clackmannanshire but it went to the No campaign
LOCALS in Dumbiedykes who are fed up with unemployment, poverty and ill health have been energised by the Yes campaign and could be crucial in Thursday's vote.
WHILE Yes campaigners will target the grey vote by sending leaflets to more than a million OAPs, Better Together are focusing on the 500,000 undecided Scots
BETTER Together estimate that independence could cost the average family an extra £3600 a year, while the SNP claimed free childcare would save parents £5000 a child per year.
UK company executives urged to safeguard workers' pay and conditions after we expose slave camps.
THE First Minister is under pressure to take part in the charity stunt after being nominated by James McAvoy - and particularly after referendum rival Alistair Darling took up the challenge.

Getting around the opponent's jab in a fight can be difficult because the jab is so fast and so long. My favorite strategies to deal with the jab's speed and length by attacking at the same time, or attacking AND evading at the same time, and or attacking beforehand (useful for getting the harder counters in). A little bit of boxing technique and preparation is all it takes to deal with even good jabs. watch video >>

In this video I show a high percentage way to avoid being stacked and then take the back. This move looks too simple to work, but trust me, rep it out. One of the most important things that you have to resist is your opponent clasping their hands around your waist. As you move through the ranks you will find it easier and easier to do. Fighting them off will be a combination of hand fighting and extending your back and legs to push yourself away. It's in this time that you take control of t watch video >>

In this video I show a fantastically easy and effective counter to the North South Choke. I had not seen this counter until recently. I had taught the North/South Choke and my student asked me how I deal with this specific counter to that choke. I had never even heard of something like this and when he showed it to me it was kind of baffling. At first I didn't believe it could work, then when you have it happen...well let's just say it changed my mind. So, if you've never seen this before watch video >>
In this video I show a great way to counter the Kimura. This can be high percentage in a lot of circumstances and can even lead to your opponent's avoiding Kimura grips when you are in Side Control or Half Guard Top.Let me start by saying DO NOT BAIT THE KIMURA TO GET THIS MOVE. That is both dumb and dangerous. Never, ever ever ever, let anyone get a Kimura grip. If you sense that you are about to get Kimuraed you need to sit up, make space and avoid the grip.With that being said, sometim watch video >>

EVENT ADVISORY: Dignity Denied: LGBT Immigrants in U.S. Immigration Detention
Contact: Crystal Patterson
Phone: 202.478.6350
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Washington, D.C. — As Congress debates legislation to reform our broken immigration system, it is imperative that safeguards for vulnerable groups like LGBT immigrants are considered. Please join us as experts, stakeholders, and members of the LGBT community discuss the dangers that LGBT immigrants face in our current immigrant detention system, what has been done so far, and ways to improve the system going forward. A new report on the topic will also be released.
The Department of Homeland Security detains, on average, 34,000 people each day in immigration detention facilities. These facilities are treacherous environments for LGBT immigrants who are vulnerable to abuse and mistreatment due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. Reports of abuse from attorneys and complaints against Immigration and Customs Enforcement revealed through Freedom of Information Act requests paint a picture of the dangers LGBT immigrants face in ICE custody. In response to these problems, ICE has taken numerous steps to address the particular needs and vulnerabilities of LGBT immigrants, but more reforms are needed.

Julie Andrews is a goddess of a governess, in this uplifting tale of World War Two almost-treachery, love and singing without falling off bicycles.
Oh my, a truly excellent movie of Austrian warbling, without, thankfully, the leg and foot slapping that sentence normally implies. I'm only kidding of course, Austria has both McDonalds and electricity today, I am told, and those Nazi's have been banished to the less publicized of political parties.
A small criticism would be that it stereotypes nuns somewhat. I have met more than three nuns in my time and they are really quite witty and cheeky in the main, not like the stuffy, stuck up ones we see in this production. Perfect!
"Climb every mountain.... till you find your dream."
Maria (Julie Andrews) is an unsuccessful Nun who is encouraged to find a job outside of the Nunnery.
She becomes a governess to the von Trapp family; beloved, after a sticky start.
Captain von Trapp is set to marry, but Maria loves him. The children ensure their 'coming together', which leads to marriage (in Maria's old convent church).
They break into song on a number of occasions throughout the movie (including on bicycles), and so enter a contest.
To avoid the Nazi's, and escape into Switzerland, they sneak out before the end of the concert they have just won for singing.
They all live happily ever after following a long walk.
A must see movie. A nice family film with uplifting songs and good performances all round. Julie Andrews is perfect.
