Game could be done at Turn 10, says Microsoft Game Studios boss
Shane Kim, Microsoft corporate vice president and boss of Microsoft Game Studios, has validated the possibility of internal studio Turn 10 being the next developers of the Project Gotham Racing franchise.Microsoft owns not only the IP for the franchise but also all of the assets, and many have speculated who the next developer would be now that original developer Bizarre Creations has been bought by Activision.
Asked where the future of the franchise might be in an interview with Kikizo, Kim said: "We have a great internal racing studio in Turn 10, the creators of Forza Motorsport."
"Our goal is to roll the studio so that they can do more creative execution within the racing space. So, you can imagine a future where they would develop a new version of Project Gotham Racing."
Microsoft isn't in a particular rush to find a developer though, adds Kim, saying that "after four versions of PGR, it's really important for us to take a fresh creative approach to it and to really think about what we want the next version of PGR to be."

8 Reviews
8 Reviews
There are regular boat service between Penang-Medan and Penang-Langkawi (& Pulau Payar). It is about 5-6 hours to Medan, Sumatra, Indonesia and 2-3 hours to Langkawi.
Beware that the seas can be choppy and so get your anti-histamine if you are prone to sea sickness.
I took the an overnight bigger boat from Medan to Penang and decided that it will be my last time. It is a cheap way to get to Indonesia besides flying budget air.
This ferry terminal entrance is opposite Fort Cornwallis at the Esplanade, next to Victoria Clock Tower. It was called King Edward Place. The main entrance is called Swettenham Pier, which is around the corner and used for cruise liners and visiting military ships.
The counter is situated near the Clocktower in Esplanade !
The ticket price is RM35 per trip, depart from Penang at 08:30, only one trip per day.
See below for contact no. for ferry ticketing or
alternatively check this page Penang-Langkawi ferry
Langkawi Ferry connects passengers at Port Swettenham in Georgetown to Pulau Langkawi and also Medan in Indonesia.
One way fare to:
Langkawi - RM40 (adult), RM25.50(child)
Medan - RM90 (adult), RM45.50 (child)
To reach Langkawi from Penang direcctly (i.e. without a change of transport), there are just TWO ways to get there.
1. Fly there with MAS (RM 95/ one way)
PEN->LGK MH1492 dep 1205 arr 1235

We took a ferry to the Langkawi Coral pontoon for a day of snorkelling. It costed 210 RM (including the snorkelling part). The ferry ride took around 1.5 hours each way and the water was very calm. We couldn't see much along the way but it was a nice trip anyway...
I used to love getting onto ferries connecting Mainland and the Island, so serene especially late at night. Only costs 60cents, nothing beats having the whole ferry to you and your partner :)
Fares: Adult - RM0.60, Children - RM0.30
A flat rate of RM7.00 is charged for vehicles while passengers are charged RM0.60 per person.
There are three ferry daily running between Penang and Langkawi at Swettenham Jetty

9.00am 2.45pm (via Pulau Payar)
Langkawi 11.30am 2.30pm 5.30pm
one way RM40
return RM75
The boat to Langkawi stop at Swettenham Port near Fort Cornwallis. The round trip ticket to Langkawi cost RM70. It has been raised a few time, may be due to the increment of oil price.
You can get the ticket in any shop around the port. There are travel agents selling the Langkawi ticket.

The Maple Valley High School girls basketball team had a strong fourth quarter Monday to advance to the semifinals of the Region 1 tournament in Lisbon. The Raiders beat Milnor 64-47 in the quarterfinal game. Maple Valley led 47-42 at the end of the third quarter, but then limited Milnor to five points in the fourth.

Moore named All-American The Valley City State University track and field team crowned an All-American at the NAIA Indoor Track and Field National Championships, which took place over the weekend at the Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio. Freshman Darien Moore took fifth place in the weight throw event, placing him as an All American. He had a recorded distance of 18.87 meters in the finals, which finished him two centimeters behind the fourth place finisher.
FARGO ã Looking back on his teamãs season, Valley City High School girls basketball coach Jim McDaniel was pleased with how it went. ãI thought it was a great season,ã he said, noting the progress the team has made in recent years. The team ended the season Friday with a 55-44 loss to Fargo Davies in the Eastern Dakota Conference regional tournament at the Fargo Civic Center. McDaniel said it was the first time the Hi-Liners advanced past the play-in game in nearly seven years. ãOur program is moving in the right direction,ã he said.
Wes Anderson, curator of the Barnes County Museum said this yearãs North Dakota State Fair heritage and writing contests are great ideas to preserve memories of people alive today for future generations.
Friday the North Dakota State Fair based in Minot revealed it was having a State Fair Writing Contest and a North Dakota Heritage Contest.
For the heritage contest, residents are being asked to write down and submit their stories about what life was like in the state.
Submitted work will be displayed on the 4-H Wall in the N.D. State Fair Center at the 2012 state fair July 20-28.
To watch City Lights Supper Club owner Tommy Bergan in his newly remodeled restaurant is to see a man in his element. As he walks around the bar to greet old friends and new guests, it is clear that hospitality is in his blood.
ãMy parents own the Taco Johnãs here in town, so thatãs where I got my first start with restaurants,ã said Bergan. ãI went to school at UND and worked at Red Lobster and the Ground Round just kind of kept going with restaurant management through college.ã
While its late arrival may be arguably fashionable, winter has made a grand entrance in southeast North Dakota.
Mother Nature dropped a reported 5.5 inches of snow on the Valley City area over the weekend according to the National Weather Service in Grand Forks.
ãFive-point-five is what are unofficial co-op observer reported, but heãs a good measurer and he lives pretty close to town,ã NWS meteorologist Bill Barrett said Monday morning. ãThat was called in around noon time, 12:05.ã
A Gallup Poll study has again ranked North Dakota the nationãs best state for creating jobs. North Dakota also ranked at the top of Gallup poll rankings in 2009 and 2010.
The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and North Dakota Highway Patrol (NDHP) have issued a Travel Alert for southwest and central North Dakota due to blowing snow sticking to the roadway causing scattered icy conditions. Motorists are encouraged to monitor local weather forecasts, reduce speeds and drive according to the conditions.
The Valley City Fire Department rescue squad, Barnes County Sheriff's office, Barnes County Ambulance and the North Dakota Highway Patrol responded to a multiple vehicle pile-up in the median of I-94 between exit 296 and 298 a little after 1 p.m. Friday afternoon.
Wind gusts, blowing snow and slush in the roadway made driving conditions extremely hazardous. Some injuries were reported in the wreck, which initially was just two vehicles in the median, but eventually grew to include 5 cars, a semi and a truck which had rolled to rest on its top.

Small hotel in an old house. Very close to everything. Parking in garage, with remote control for opening.
The place had a nice feel about it. Breakfast was excellent. Our room seemed to have a Moroccan style, although it was strangely called The Oriental Room. Staff very welcoming.
Had real problem regulating the water in shower, it was just too hot. One night there were loads of annoying mosquitos in the room, which really kept us awake. This was late November too. To be fair they were apologetic about both of these things, but it was not a good night in all!
Very close to the Cathedral and Beaux Arts Museum Very close to the pedestrian streets with commerce Cozy and confortable, you feel like staying at your rich parent mansion!
The stairs!
Friendly staff, good breakfast, location, nice room.
Room was reasonably spacious and had a big bathroom. Coffee maker n the room. Decent lighting. Good breakfast. Gregory was a helpful host. Location quite good and central.
Couldn't find it! Very poor signage outside the door. Street is all torn up so no access other than on foot over gravelly, uneven pavement. Towels were thin and not changed each day.
room was lovely, big windows, sunny breakfast was excellent staff helpful and friendly
Reasonably equipped kitchen. Friendly staff, helped make dinner reservations, called taxi. Air conditioning in the room worked well. Interesting selection of books in the room.
Would have been nice to have a view of something other than an air shaft, but where we were on the top floor, we could see the sky, so it wasn't oppressive. Towels might have been a bit larger, but overall the stay was enjoyable.
Great location close to the shopping and tourist areas, very friendly staff
Studio was a long haul up the stairs, mould smell a bit over-powering (age of building)
The ambience of the apartment Our host The location Parking
The grand suite room was beautiful and worked well for our young family. We were a few minutes walk from everywhere. Would recommend this hotel to everyone.
location staff
like a lot of French hotels star rating is a poor guide.
Everything! Location was excellent with easy access to this beautiful city and facilities were fabulous.
Helpfulness of the staff particularly in recommending places to visit, restaurants and other tourist sights. Breakfast was good
It was a bit of a climb to our room on the 3rd floor!
The hotel has a great location on the edge of Bordeaux's old town. Our room was spacious and comfortable with furnishings to match the building. The owner / manager was brilliant, helping to overcome some significant issues due to the city road rebuilding project, which happened to be immediately outside the hotel during our visit.
Nothing but praise for the staff of Chambre en Ville. Due to a pilots strike we needed to book new flights and leave later in the day. Remy booked our new flights for us and arranged for our luggage to be stored. The Accomodation is in a great location, walking distance to sights and restaurants. would recommend this apartment for your stay in Bordeaux.
Quaintly furnished Cleaning staff was good and pleasant
Snide remarks about foreigner tourists. Unwillingness to negotiate refund or adjustment to bill Construction noise Mosquitoes!!
The suit is very cozy and nice space for a couple! The Location is good and near some restaurants. The breakfast was simple but nice, ham,fruits,yogurt,bread,coffee...! The owner and staff are also kind and need any help they will help right away!! I will be back again if any chance.
Central location excellent.french character and style with v good service.clean,comfy and stylish.
Only fault- no curtains and shutters inside so not possible to have window open for air without letting light in. Air con unit good but noisy for night use so struggled to get temp/air/light right overnight! Sounds fussy!
Central location - comfortable accommodation - wifi worked well Back bedroom quiet
Outside noise late at night - people chatting loudly underneath front window (it was hit so windows were open - may not be such an issue with closed windows)
- Location was excellent - Free wifi - Cooking facilities available - Great master bedroom with balcony and very comfortable bed
The staff was young and extremely friendly. They spoke great English and made us feel right at home. It had a very local feel but still the amenities of a hotel. We felt very special in our Grand Suite, it was like something out of a movie. The pictures look slightly more updated than reality, but everything was still lovely. It had a French charm that couldn't be recreated otherwise.
Right in the middle of Bordeax - brilliant location.
Air conditioning was noisy, parking was limited with the room bur to be honest it was really easy to park in the near by underground multi-storey carpark.

Animal book aimed at kids, but good for adults, as well
Animals Welcome: A Life of Reading, Writing, and Rescue by Peg Kehret
c.2012, Dutton
$16.99/$18 Canada
175 pages
You've had enough. Or maybe not. You've had enough homework, hassle and chores to last you the rest of your life. Enough drama and enough sadness. But you'll never have enough animals.
There's always room in your heart for another dog. Your lap could hold more cats or guinea pigs. You could squeeze another aquarium in your room if you had to, and your yard is big enough for a horse … isn't it?
You're a kid who loves critters of all sorts, and you love learning about them. So read the new book Animals Welcome by Peg Kehret, and meet someone like you. Kehret has always been an animal lover, and she's tried to include animals in most of the many books she's written. She also tries to include animals in most of her life.
That inclusion became easier when Kehret and her husband, Carl, bought 10 wooded acres in Washington state. There, deer and elk come to visit, baby fawns are born, bears and possums steal birdseed from feeders and peacocks wander over to snoop. Kehret loves to watch them all.
And while she enjoys wildlife – including the many birds that visit her woods – she also adores her household pets. She's always shared her home with at least one dog and says all but one of her dogs has been a rescue. Kehret, you see, is a big supporter of her local animal shelters.
And then there were the kitties: Molly and Pete were beloved companions. Mr. Stray, a semi-feral cat, lived outside. And after Carl died, Kehret turned his workshop into a cat room and began fostering cats with the hope they'd be adopted into loving families.
Animals, it seems, know Kehret is a softie for soft fur. In addition to Mr. Stray, she's been visited by other feral (untamed) cats, as well as by kittens that were bottle-raised. A lost, elderly dachshund showed up one day, missing her owner. Two ponies wandered down Kehret's driveway, after escaping from their corral. Kehret helped them all. "Helping animals," says Kehret, is "a way of life." At her house, "animals will always be welcome."
When your young reader is also an animal lover, it's sometimes hard to find books enough to satisfy their story cravings. Fortunately, Animals Welcome fills that void nicely.
Author Peg Kehret's words feel like snuggly flannel sheets, resonating with grandmotherly tones rich in warmth and respect for both subjects and readers. Her curiosity and a keen love of animals mix deeply with an obvious love for children, and that gives this book a solid kid-friendliness.
I particularly liked that Kehret is careful to teach readers to watch, not touch, wildlife and to be mindful of all animals. Kids can learn a lot, in fact, from this passionate animal-minded friend, and they'll enjoy doing it.
Though this is a book for 7- to 12-year-olds, don't be surprised if you're tempted to read it, too. With its fur-and-feathered tales and its gentle, kindly flavor, Animals Welcome will be welcome on anybody's bookshelf.

CVB Financial Corp. Reports Earnings For 2012
CVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:CVBF) and its subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank ("the Company"), announced earnings for the year ended December 31, 2012.
CVB Financial Corp. reported net income of $77.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared with net income of $81.7 million for 2011. Diluted earnings per share were $0.74 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $0.77 for the same period last year. Net income for 2012 included pre-tax debt termination expense of approximately $20.4 million, which represents the present value of future interest payments and lender hedge termination fees, related to the August 2012 redemption of $250.0 million of fixed rate loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"). The terminated FHLB loans carried an average coupon rate of 3.39% and a weighted average remaining life of 2.6 years. The Company also elected to redeem $48.0 million in junior subordinated debentures during 2012 bearing interest at 2.85% to 3.25% above the 90-day LIBOR. These repayments were made to reduce future interest expense. Operating results for the year ended December 31, 2012 reflected zero loan loss provision, compared to $7.1 million for 2011.
Chris Myers, President and CEO, commented, "2012 was the second most profitable year in CVBF history and would have been the most profitable had we not elected to prepay $250 million in FHLB debt in August. We are pleased with the consistency of our operating performance over the last seven fiscal quarters and remain proud of the outstanding efforts of our associates."
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 produced a return on beginning equity of 10.81%, a return on average equity of 10.31% and a return on average assets of 1.19%. The efficiency ratio for 2012 was 54.64% (46.58% excluding the FHLB debt termination), compared to 52.45% (51.21% excluding the prior year FHLB debt termination) for 2011.

Banyuls 'Réserva' is a sweet, red wine - a classic blend of Grenache Noir, Grenache Gris and Carignan. It has a spicy, dried fruit, pluminess, rather like a tawny port. It can be consumed chilled as a decadent pre-prandial sharpener and makes a marvellous match for dark chocolate desserts. An open bottle will keep happily in the fridge for a fortnight, although not chez Yapp alas!
Made from Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, it merits at least three years bottle-age to reveal it's uncompromising personality. It has diverse spice, leather and sous-bois aromas and a complex palate of berries, mushrooms, game and earth.
The 'Empreinte du Temps' Vin de Pays Catalan is a rich, slightly oxidative, straw-coloured wine with a complex palate with an almost briny quality, of grilled nuts and minerals, and sherry-like undertones prior to a gently warming, long, resonant end note.
The Côtes du Roussillon Cuvée Tradition from Domaine Ferrer Ribière is a versatile, light-heavyweight wine with aromas of Autumnal fruit and a deep, core of cassis and kirsch.
This vibrant, fresh Catalan Carignan hails from a precious parcel of 135 year old pre-phylloxera vines. Here at Yapp HQ it's a firm favourite that delivers consistently in every vintage. Like the white Vin de Pays des Côtes Catalanes Grenache Blanc from Domaine Ferrer-Ribière, this wine too is well-suited to simple, rustic cuisine some sizzling Toulouse sausages or cassoulet would fit the bill nicely.
A wonderful esoteric, slightly resinous, full bodied, dry white wine deliberately made in quite an oxidative style with a sherry-like bouquet and a complex palate of orchard fruit offset by wild herb notes and a long, elegant finish.
A rugged, chest-thumping, life-affirming Grenache / Carignan blend imbued with a wealth of briary berry scents and flavours supported by rugged but ripe tannins. It drinks well from release, if decanted, and will age well for a decade. A magnificent partner to local dishes rich in peppers, anchovies and garlic.
The Puig Oriol is a dense, dark, brooding red wine that is quintessential Collioure. It has a bouquet of garrigue fruit and dense black fruit, earth and spice tastes and a fine tannic structure.
Become a connoisseur of all things Catalan.
Overview:Roussillon, often appended to the Languedoc, has a distinct climate and culture of its own. This former principality of Catalonia is now the French département Pyrenées-Orientale, but its inhabitants remain fiercely Catalan. Beginning at Perpignan and ending at the Spanish border in the Pyrenees, these fertile soils produce an abundance of fruit and excellent wine. The region produces 90% of France's Vin Doux Naturel, fortified sweet wine.
Area Under Vine:25,000 hectares under vine, 80% on slopes up to altitudes of 600m.
Key AOCs:Banyuls, Maury, Muscat de Rivesaltes, Collioure, Côtes du Roussillon, but there are also some terrific (dry) wines made in the IGPs of Côtes Catalanes and Côte Vermeille.
Principal grapes:Grenache, Grenache blanc, Muscat and Macabeo.
Notable domaines:Ferrer-Ribière, La Tour Vieille, Parcé Frères, Gauby.
Local delicacies:Anchovies (from Collioure).
Restaurants we like:Les Templiers (Collioure).
Famous people from the region:François Arago (astronomer, physicist and liberal politician), French 'rugbymen' Nicolas Mas and Jo Maso.
Things to do:Windsurf into the port in Collioure, watch USA Perpignan or Catalan Dragons play rugby (union / league), check out the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, soak in the light on the sandy beaches of the Côte Vermeille.
Bien classique:Banyuls NV: Domaine La Tour Vieille.
Autre chose:Vin des Cotes Catalan' Grenache' blanc: Domaine Ferrer-Ribière.

I gaze into your
crystalline eyes and
wish I could turn back the
to the time when
you loved me
as much as I loved
(but you always say that clocks
can't be turned back.
I wonder
if you're right.)
Malicious smiles and
greedy words;
you're not the person
you started out
to be.
I miss
who you were
before this all went
I never noticed before now
but I miss the
sweet whispers of,
"I love you,"
and your eyes;
your beautiful eyes.
Rewinding time
would be so much easier
than all this regret
I keep pent up inside
and all the memories
I force myself
to lock away.
(I keep them locked tight
in the locket you gave me.)

For good measure, you don't want to keep your beef in the fridge for more than four days before you prepare it. If it looks like you're not going to be able to cook it up in time, play it safe and put it in the freezer right away. If you do end up freezing your beef, though, make sure to let it thaw in the refrigerator and not out in the open on the counter.

This happened yesterday, just down the road from me.
Pulled over by trooper, man shoots self in head on Thruway - The Daily Freeman News: Serving the Hudson Valley
NEW PALTZ A man was in critical condition Monday evening after shooting himself in the head while in a stopped vehicle on the Thruway, according to state police.
Investigators at the state police barracks in Highland said the 48-year-old man, who was alone in the vehicle, was northbound on the highway, just north of Exit 18 (New Paltz), when he fired a single bullet into his head after being pulled over by a trooper.
Investigators did not identify the man or say why he had been pulled over. They also did not say what might have precipitated the shooting or what type of gun was used.
The vehicle reportedly was a blue Jeep.
The incident happened about 3:30 p.m. Monday near mile marker 76 on the Thruway and brought northbound traffic to a standstill.
The gunshot victim was flown from the scene in a Stat Flight medical helicopter about an hour later and was in critical condition Monday evening in the Intensive Care Unit at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, police said.
Kevin Maguire, assistant chief of the New Paltz Fire Department, said about 12 firefighters responded to the scene to set up the landing zone for the helicopter.
He said the helicopter was able to touch down pretty much right at the site of the incident.
Northbound traffic in the short stretch between the New Paltz exit and the shooting scene was stopped for about 90 minutes during the investigation. Vehicles headed north from points south of New Paltz were diverted off the highway at the New Paltz exit.
Southbound traffic was not affected.

I have spent way too much time on Twitter this week talking with authors about music. You all know by now I am a huge music fan, maybe even more so over books. So it's not surprise my favorite interview questions with authors are about music. For example, Dakota Cassidy has a really bad obsession with Barry Manilow. Honestly, it's slightly stalkerish. Her boyfriend bought her tickets to see Barry & this is what happened.
Two nights ago, she tweet sang Barry to me…I was afraid. I love Dakota but I do not share her love for all things Barry, unless her name is Lola.
In February, I had a big long convo with Mark Henry about music. It ended with him sending me a GIANT list of bands that I had to listen too. I swear to you, Mark is my musical twin. His taste is so out there it mimics mine, as does our friend Synde of Cemetery Cat Designs. If we get started on music, it will go on and on and on, & include a shit-ton of tweeted YouTube Vids. Such as my favorite Chemical Brothers video, Hey Girl Hey Boy (Click Here, Can't Embed.)
Stacia Kane had a great idea for Unholy Ghosts & made a playlist that you can download to go along with the book! Love it!
Laurell K. Hamilton is always tweeting about who shes listening to while writing.
Nicole Peeler got me hooked on Editors a few months back
My BIGGEST pet peeve has to be the over-use of one of my all time favorite cover songs, Running Up That Hill by Placebo. I cannot tell you the number of times I have seen this song mentioned in books, TV shows & movies. Please authors STOP killing this song for me, PLEASE!
I love when authors include playlists in their books, I wish more would do it.
So WLP wants to know, what song do you think relates to a book you've read?
Do you like when authors include playlists in their books?
I have been doing play lists for our books since we started. In fact, up until about 4 months ago, visitors to our website could request a Playlist CD from us to go with the work (I discontinued it because with MP3's and Itunes, you can download the songs your self and Im all about that.)
We also have on top of book play lists, character play lists and and mood lists… Im all about the music as I write and every time we start a new book I spend the better part of the day after outlining picking songs that will go with what we are trying to do emotionally and scene wise. Its a lot of fun…
Though you wont ever find any country in our play lists… you will find some creedence… LOL.
CCR is the shit I looove that you do that, but you are a music whore like I am! lol
MUAHAHAHA> well yes. And you know how I feel about the whole "writing to the top 40″ crap. If thats what your characters are into, then thats cool… but the less 50 cent, Beyonce and Justin timberlake I see in a play list gives your book more street cred IMHO.
And CCR is the shit. LOVE them…
I hate the top 40 crap AND the overuse of a song, I swear to you I have seen Placebo mentioned 5 times in books I've read this year. Add to that it being on Vampire Diaries (last episode I watched I was so irritated! LOL)
Boyfriends fam are HUGE CCR fans, so is my Mom…so I grew up blasting them
Im not guilty of the Placebo song… LOL.. And im not a fan so you can bet your safe from it on our end… HEH.
LMFAO its like the radio, i don't listen to it cause they always ruin a song I like by over playing the hell out of it. Drives me INSANE.
I usually make up a playlist if I'm working on a novel, but I find myself coming back to the same bands over and over, so the playlists tend not to vary a whole lot! I like seeing who authors write to – I love that Rachel Caine tends to include playlists in her Weather Warden books, and Yasmine Galenorn puts them on her website too. It doesn't necessarily link the music to the books for me, but it's all part of the creative process, and that fascinates me.
Yeah, Rachel got me thinking about this cause she does it in her Morganville Vamps books too…shes guilty of the Placebo song! LOL
I enjoy a rather broad spectrum of music and love when authors include playlists because it oft times presents a whole new world of music that I might not have found on my own!
I love that!
I actually love to read what authors heard while writing a book. I love to listen to music while reading so why shouldn't I take the ones the author listened, too.
Sometimes when I hear a certain song I immediately remember the book I read while I heard that song for the first time. My brain can be strange.
LOL mine is just as strange, I always put music to scenes I've read "Oh this would have been awesome in XX book"
I like when authors include playlists in their books. I helps me get a better feel for the book. I also like when they include recipes.
lmfao foodie! I think Stacia used to have recipes in the Demon books.
I love discovering new music and artists through author playlists and/or other bloggers (I'm looking at you Pixie – i.e. How to Destroy Angels). One of my favorite authors, Kim Harrison, has a section on her website dedicated to music relating to her Hollows series. I discovered We Are Scientist, Red and Jem through her site.
If you go to their site ASAP, you can put your email addy in for the free album download on June 1st
God, that was one of the best night's of my life, bar none.. And I don't stalk Barry at all. I'm not part of his fan group, I don't write him letters, and I never even had his poster on my wall. I don't love him like that.
So I'll thank you to not turn my innocent joy of him into something dirty and unseemly, Missy!
I love Barry because he makes me smile–his songs have meaning in my life. I love Barry with reverence, not lust, with a sweet, gentle rush of emotions that could be labeled "still in 6th grade when you thought going out meant holding hands and sharing a carton of milk in the cafeteria."
But I'd cut a bitch with her knitting needles if I could just get him to pick me from the audience to be the frickin' Can't Smile Without You girl.
Ahem–just sayin'
*slowly backs away from DC*
My sis, Jen, is a hugy Barry fan. She had her hubby take her to see him in Vegas a while back and she was soooooo happy. She has pics and momentos from that night up with all the fam pics in her house. LOL.
Dude! I had no idea Running Up That Hill was a Placebo song! Always thought it was Kate Bush I FREAKING LOVE THAT SONG. Thank you for edumacating me. I liked this post.
It is chica, Placebo just covered it. I like their version better LOL
What a dink! It IS a Kate Bush song and Placebo did a cover Got it! The Kate Bush version is still one of my most favorite songs on the planet but this one isn't too bad either.
Dork! LMFAO!
000000 I've never seen this Hey Girl Hey Boy video! I like!
I DO like author playlists, it helps them give that extra sensory touch to us they were feeling when they were writing, and that's cool.
That video is amazing, I miss when videos were out there like that.
I'm not a fan of author play lists or "who would you cast to be so and so" lists. Ugh.
I listen to my own music that suits me and the book. You know I always go my own way, lol.
One song that really stood out for me was Good Enough by Evanescence for Kate in the Kate Daniels series. Otherwise, I pick up certain songs along the way. I don't like to feel that I HAVE to hear a certain song for a certain scene or character, ya know?
I am a dork though, and kinda playlist my life. My whole life has like a soundtrack to it or I can't function
Yeah you be weird! lol I like asking cast questions to certain authors, just to see if they see who I see as a character. But music I MUST know.
I love when authors share playlists for books! To be honest, I rediscovered Muse after checking out Stephenie Meyer's list for the Twilight books I wish more authors did this!
Hmmm… the most recent song that has reminded me of a book is "Shape Shifter" by the Local Natives which reminds me of "Shiver" by Maggie Stiefvater.

There really are no limits to the types of smart phone applications (apps) on the market today with all sorts of apps now available to assist you with any type of building project.
Whether you are endeavoring to build a new house, are in the midst of a renovation project or just looking to "spruce" your place up with a fresh coat of paint, the list of apps to help is endless.
Here are five of the most useful.
1. Sun Seeker
The Sun Seeker app is one that comes highly recommended by desu Designer Homes. It can prove particularly useful if you are looking at purchasing a block of land.
People often don't realize just how important the sun's position is when deciding to build a new home.
By using the Sun Seeker app, you can easily determine how a block of land is exposed to sunlight. In the paid version of this app, you can use the 3D view to point your phone in any direction and it will overlay the sun's path, hour by hour, on your live video image.
What you ultimately want is to plan a house on a block so the living rooms face north as they will be exposed to the sun the most.
This app is also useful if you are looking at purchasing an existing property as you can work out if the home's living areas will be warm in winter and cool in summer.
2. Brightgreen
Brightgreen is a free app produced by Brightgreen, an Australian LED lighting designer company.
This app is very handy when deciding how to light each particular room in your home.
Brightgreen could potentially save you a lot of money as it suggests the accurate quality and quantity of lights depending on the size of your rooms, ceiling height and the level of reflectivity based on wall and furniture colours.
This app also gives technical details like lumen output, wattage, warranty and CRI rating so you can be sure that you are making the right selection of lights.
3. Houzz
Houzz is an impressive app with over 500,000 house images that you can sort by room and further narrow down by style.
If you are lacking design inspiration then this is your app. Proceed with caution though; you may be overwhelmed by the amount of truly beautiful homes stored on this app.
Houzz allows you to compile a list of your favourite images, decorating pieces and handy hints as you find them for quick reference later on.
This app also has functions like product ranges (with prices) organised by room, a seemingly never ending list of hints and a directory of professional services to help you build or renovate however, unfortunately these are all currently American companies.
4. Dulux MyColour
Have you have ever been out and about and seen a colour that has inspired you for your painting project but not been able to match it once you arrive at the paint store? Then you must download the Dulux MyColour app now.
This app helps you to capture the colour that you want to use, matches it with the Dulux colour available and let's you save the colour within the app so you can refer to it later on when you are at the paint shop.
Whether it be the colour of a print on your blouse, your neighbour's kitchen cupboards or the sun set, Dulux will match it with this app.
Similarly, the CSR ColourPicker app will help you match a colour from an image you take with the nearest available bricks or rooftiles.
5. ColorChange
If you have trouble visualizing if a colour you like will complement your surrounding furniture, floors and window trims, you're not alone and luckily they have built an app just for you.
The ColorChange app allows you to take a picture with your phone of the space you want to paint and you play around with putting different colours in this space to help you see what works best.
Here you can download all the apps mentioned above. desu Designer Homes recommend that you read the app descriptions to ensure they will meet your requirements before buying.

Mike Nelson, you round it up very well. I am very concerned about runaway immigration for many reasons. Primarily it costs Arizona 43 million dollars a year just in health costs.
I would love to return to the two-party system that evolved naturally so all Americans had a place to hang their political hats. We let them both get away from the people. What would you think of firming up of the separation of church and state? I may try a commentary on this very sensitive subject.

Despite growing volume and popularity, institutional video content is the least curated and least discoverable of all content types. Although users expect ubiquitous access to all content, regardless of format, video is under-catalogued/indexed and therefore not easily accessible. Video, especially institutional video, is not available to discovery services, and rights management concerns inhibit availability. Therefore, libraries are missing an opportunity to showcase their relevance. This paper presents research on the hypothesis that utilizing automated transcription to programmatically create rich metadata promotes discoverability and usability of institutionally created video.

The University Digitisation Centre (UDC) at the University of Melbourne has been working towards implementing the Embedded Metadata Manifesto since its inception in 2009. This paper follows the evolution of the in-house information systems developed by UDC to incorporate the embedding of descriptive metadata as part of a standard digitisation process. Central to this has been the development of novel ways of accessing metadata from the various library catalogues via their public interfaces. Challenges arising from the re-use of catalogue metadata in non-library systems may provide additional insights as libraries attempt to re-invent the catalogue.

The State Library of South Australia (SLSA) is honouring the memory of those who served at the front lines on World War 1 and on the home front, through a series of projects. The principal project is the creation of a new web resource of the records of the South Australian Red Cross Information Bureau (SARCIB). The web resource will utilise volunteers and provide opportunities for community created content. By leveraging existing tools such as MARC, the project will lead the way for future delivery of our collections and provide an opportunity for SLSA to apply Linked Open Data. It is anticipated this resource will be available early in 2015.

Since the new building opened in 1996, the Shanghai Library has strived to create a borderless hybrid library. Taking advantage of the consolidation of the Shanghai Library and the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of Shanghai (ISTIS), the new institution has developed a knowledge service system in an all-round way for the general public, for the research and business community, and for the policy-makers and legislators, and also a digital library system to integrate all the conventional and electronic resources and to extend the hybrid services to all the libraries in Shanghai. The presentation will focus on the library's innovative, integrative and interactive hybrid services as well as some technical development including Chinese metadata and cataloguing programs.

During 2003 Monash University Library engaged in a major redesign of the library databases web site. The basis of this was a program which used MARC records from Monash's Endeavour Voyager catalogue to generate online electronic journal subject lists. The new databases page was intended to make for easier updating, and to allow us to respond to known user issues. In theory this was straightforward. In practice a number of issues were raised. The paper looks at how Monash resolved these issues, while commenting on the relationship between metadata and technology. Some future directions will also be discussed.

Four years out, this paper revisits the theme of VALA2000 and looks at the extent to which integrated library management systems have been developed to operate as hybrid library systems by focussing on the National Library of Australia's requirements in this area. A range of commercial portal products now extend (and may eventually replace) the OPAC. However, there is still a gap in the market place for workflow systems supporting the routine digitisation of collection material. In addition, library system vendors are only just beginning to provide the level of support needed by libraries that wish to build innovative web-based services based on the catalogue.

Please tag your comments, tweets, and blob posts about this session: #VALA2000
Although the concept of a subject gateway has only risen to prominence in Australia during the last two years, several university library consortia and other education- based initiatives, including EdNA Online and the Australian Digital Theses Project, have already been successful in achieving collaborative approaches for the delivery of national access to electronic resources. The critical success factors realised, including the deployment of metadata and the community approaches to problem solving, mean that Australia is positioned to participate in new initiatives exploring service provision in a national infrastructure for integrated research and information access.

Universities need to consider metadata as a means of managing and providing access to information resources. A considerable commitment is required to assess standards; train staff and utilise metadata appropriately. The University of New South Wales Library has made a start and has embedded metadata in Library Web pages, created metadata for subject gateways – MetaChem and AVEL, and is generating metadata for the Australian Digital Theses Project.

An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Current Dublin Core Metadata for RetrievalVALA 2000 CONCURRENT SESSION 11: Metadata Lloyd Sokvitne

Please tag your comments, tweets, and blob posts about this session: #VALA2000
Presents the results of a study into the effectiveness of Dublin Core metadata for retrieval. The metadata from twenty Australian government and educational organisations was analysed. The metadata was assessed for its capacity to facilitate title, creator/publisher, and subject access. From the results, it emerged that title metadata added little value, that creator/publisher access was flawed by inconsistent name formats, and that the subject terms used were too broad to produce increased precision and decreased recall. Specific suggestions are made as to how metadata creation in these three areas can be improved, and the relationship of Dublin Core to information foraging theory is explored.

Hypoxia Markers in Human Osteosarcoma: An Exploratory Study

Get AccessAbstract
Neoplastic cells growing under hypoxic conditions exhibit a more aggressive phenotype by activating a cascade of molecular events partly mediated by hypoxia-inducible transcription factor (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The roles of these markers have been studied previously in several cancer lines. We ascertained the frequency of HIF-1α expression, VEGF expression, the degree of neovascularization, and cell proliferation in osteosarcoma samples. Samples from osteosarcoma patients were assessed for HIF-1α and VEGF protein expression using immunohistochemistry, neovascularization using antibodies for Factor VIII, and cell proliferation using the Ki-67 labeling index. Associations between these parameters and clinical features were examined. HIF-1α staining was positive in 35% of patients and metastases were present in 61% of these HIF-1α-positive patients. VEGF protein expression was detected in 69% of patients, 92% of whom were female. We observed an insignificant trend for a higher frequency of VEGF expression in the high-grade as compared to low-grade osteosarcoma. We observed no association between vascular density and proliferation index and any clinical parameters. We found an association between HIF-1α expression and metastatic disease and between VEGF expression and female gender.

Sean is a musical Artist and guitarist-for-hire living in New York City. He composes music for solo guitar and for small ensembles, and supports many singers, musicians, and theatrical productions.
"…gives full expression to the mood of the moment." -Stephen Holden, New York Times
"…a technical virtuoso who's Joe Pass / Tommy Emmanuel fingerstyle approach is always in service to telling a story or creating a feeling within the song; [Harkness] transcends many genres and can touch listeners of many backgrounds." -Jazz Inside New York
"Harkness is a wonderfully inventive accompanist who also sparkles during his solo interludes. He sounds at times like a one-man orchestra." – Joe Lang, Jersey Jazz
As a solo artist with six CDs, Harkness's music is on Windham Hill Records [Sony/RCA/BMG] and a list of independents. He has also scored music for television, including World's Strongest Man, ESPN, NASCAR and ABC Sports.
Sean Harkness left Burlington, VT for New York City in 1994 to immerse himself in their music scene. Known especially for duets and ensemble work with singers from Broadway, television, and screen, Harkness is now a first-call guitarist who compliments an exhaustive client list of artists and productions worldwide. Sean performs extensively both as a solo artist and sideman in New York's finest jazz, rock, folk, cabaret, blues, R&B, and singer/songwriter venues.
Sean's first guitar arrived on his eleventh birthday. Within six months, he had a weekly theater engagement in Bridgeport, CT. After high school bands and studies with Brian Keane and Sal Salvador [Stan Kenton Band], Harkness studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston. After a year of busking the streets of Europe, Harkness moved to Vermont where for five years he worked in the shop assisting master guitar builder Chip Wilson.
After hearing Sean perform Randall B. Plourde invited him to study guitar technique. Randall helped Harkness develop a signature touch on the instrument that caught the ears of Windham Hill Records and other producers.
At home in New York City, Harkness recently garnered the Outstanding Instrumentalist of 2011 Backstage Bistro Award, then three MAC Awards [Manhattan Association of Clubs and Cabarets] for ensemble instrumentalist, his solo shows, and most recent CD with duo partner, Canadian trumpeter Mike Herriot. Walden Guitars featured Harkness on the covers of their 2011 and 2012 catalogs, and Cabaret Scenes Magazine ran a cover/feature article about him in their 2012 Nov/Dec issue. Sean is also a product endorser for DR Handmade Strings, George L.'s Cables, and D-Tar Pickup Systems.

the new bow arrow can be controlled or richoceted making it essentially all range attack(one of them surely hit a blind spot, no?)
" @cfatalis said:it can one shot mayuri before hueco mundo arc,and it can only did that because soul society is used as a ammo (ithe final form absorbs spirit particle, soul society is made of spirit particle) while unable to use that big burst of light, it the new bow,can fire 1000 arrow nearly simultaneously, so unless this fight is in soul society, that weapon cannot do that feat
" @GIRUGAMESH said:But were they that powerful? That first hax weapon he used is regarded by many to be powerful enough to one-shot some of the captains. "
" @cfatalis said:that new thing that he used during hueco mundo arc, and he have chainsaw arrows(fine it was described as having thousands of vibrating soul-knife, but hey what is chainsaw made of?) "
" @GIRUGAMESH said:Oh? When was that used? Anyway, if Uryu can use either of them, he stomps. If not, I think this could go either way. "
" @JThree47693 said:the one that turn mayarui bankai to hax is even not his most hax weapon, it's his new one the one that fire arrow like a machinegun and shotgun "
"Random encounter. They start 10 feet apart. Fight to the death(that means they are blood lusted) Who takes it. "Is this shippuden Neji? And can Uryu use his HAX weapon? (Can't remember the name of it, the one that turned Mayuri's Bankai to ash) "
