Computer WINS BIG in poker tournament
Poker-playing computer Polaris kicked the bottoms of several top poker players last week, raking in a profit of some $150,000 for its developers at the University of Alberta.
The human players, with frankly stupid names like Nick "stoxtrader" Grudzien, Matt "Hoss_TBF" Hawrilenko and IJay "doughnutz" Palansky, won two games, drew one and lost three to Polaris, which has…
Ujogo launches Facebook poker game… with real prizes
Most Facebook games are for fun. Well, that and bragging rights against your mates, obviously. It's still a bit unclear how (or indeed if) proper gambling will be a factor. Playing poker against your Facebook friends for real money is a tempting thought, but a worrying one too – especially for Facebook itself, given the US' stringent anti online gambling policies.
Less Brits gambling despite rise of online casinos
A question for you: are more or less people in the UK gambling now than in 1999? Bear in mind that since then, the entire industry of online gambling has sprung up, mushroomed, and lured millions of us into its clammy embrace (so we're told, anyway).
It's more, right? Wrong. According to a new study by the Gambling Commission, 72% of Brits gambled in 1999, compared to 68% now. Bear in mind this includes stuff like scratch cards and the national lottery, as well as sports betting, slot machines and casinos.

Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot
Container City: Shipping containers, indispensable tool of the globalized consumer economy, reflect the skyline in Singapore, one of the world's busiest ports.
Topics: Amy Poehler, Veep, Homeland, Game Change, Parks and Recreation, Modern Family, Ricky Gervais, Breaking Bad, The Daily Show, Emmy Awards, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel, 2012 Emmy Awards, Entertainment News
It was a night that was dominated by lackluster bits – let's never speak of that lame Tracy Morgan Twitter "prank" again — and few surprises. "Modern Family" won and Jon Hamm lost as usual. But for those viewers who had the patience and fortitude to stick with this year's broadcast (which mercifully wrapped up not one minute overtime), there were a few moments of genuine levity and warmth among the forced smiles and awkward patter. The best theme of the night? Nominees who showed they know how to play well with each other. Herewith our picks for the evenings brightest highlights.
Eric Stonestreet's pitch-perfect acceptance
Acknowledging his sitcom husband, Stonestreet said, "I wouldn't be standing here without Jesse Tyler Ferguson. There is no Cam without Mitch." Then he continued, beautifully, "We get the awesome opportunity to play these two characters on TV and show America and the world what a loving couple we can be, just like everybody else, and it's an honor to do that," and added, "I never knew I'd be on TV as a gay man, but I love the pictures of hairy chests you guys are sending me." Sweet and touching and very funny.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus' win … for Amy Poehler
Remember last year, how great it was when the female comedy nominees literally crowned Melissa McCarthy the winner? Proving yet again that sisterhood is powerful, this year the "Veep" star took her third career Emmy by thanking her sons Archie and Abel and the cast of "Parks and Recreation" … before then awkwardly noting she must have mixed up her speech with Poehler's. Poehler then leapt to the stage for an exchange of crumpled up papers and one last punch line: Louis-Dreyfus reading, "Lastly, isn't it a shame that Amy Poehler didn't win? What?"
Aubrey Anderson-Emmons is a tyrant
In one of the night's few successful sketches, the cast of "Modern Family" revealed they really are one big happy family – with the exception of pint-size diva Anderson-Emmons, who plays Lily. Watching her terrorize Ty Burrell into an epic pratfall was a thing of beauty, but having her taunt Jesse Tyler Ferguson by noshing a treat from the notoriously "traditional" marriage supporting Chick-fil-A was downright inspired. "This is what I'm going to eat at my wedding," she hissed to her recently engaged TV dad. "What are you going to eat at your wedding?"

AP photo Ford unveils the new F-150 with a body built almost entirely out of aluminum at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
DETROIT -- A race-worthy Corvette, a sumptuous Mercedes C-Class and other glitzy new models caught the eye at this year's North American International Auto Show, but larger trends in the auto industry were also on display. Ford's aluminum-clad F-150 shows us that automakers are figuring out how to improve fuel economy and still give Americans the big vehicles they want. Porsche's 911 Targa and pocket rockets from Volkswagen and Subaru demonstrate that buyers still love performance cars, no matter what their budget. And new mainstream cars like the Honda Fit and Chrysler 200 will have to work hard to compete in a market that's not growing as fast as it once did.Here are five things we learned at the auto show's media days this week. The show opened to the public Saturday. GLIMPSE OF THE FUTUREInfiniti, Kia, Volkswagen, Nissan, Audi, Mini, Volvo, Honda. These and other automakers showed concepts, which are experimental cars that test design ideas and new technology. Toyota's FT-1, a sinewy sport car, reflects the company's desire to shed its stodgy reputation and build cars that make your heart pound. The clean, white Volvo XC coupe, made of high-strength steel, shows that Scandinavian safety can be sexy. Volkswagen's BlueMotion concept -- a souped up Passat -- shows technical prowess, deactivating cylinders from its four-cylinder engine to get an estimated 42 mpg on the highway.

"I call it a levelling off," Lentz said. "We're going to rely more on the fundamentals of a strengthening economy that will grow the market."That could be a boon for car buyers. Automakers could offer better lease deals and other incentives get their share of sales. But that can quickly spiral into an expensive game for carmakers."They're eating their young if they're not careful," said Larry Dominique, president of ALG, an automotive data company.EVERYONE'S AN ENGINEERAt past shows, nobody talked much about what the cars were made of. The widespread use of aluminum in the body of Ford's new F-150 pickup truck changed that. "Alloy" is now a buzz word.The F-150 -- whose body is made of 5000 and 600 series aluminum alloys -- had everyone talking about materials. Toyota pointed out the aluminum hood of the hybrid Prius. Honda said it uses magnesium for steering beams. The electric BMW i3 is made of carbon fiber. Volvo promises high-strength boron steel.In the future, expect even more discussion about materials, their properties, their cost and their benefits or drawbacks. The carbon fiber used on the hood of the Corvette Stingray, for example, is half the weight of aluminum, says chief engineer Tadge Juechter. But carbon fiber also has drawbacks. It's pricey and takes longer to form into parts -- hardly ideal for high-production models. And steel still has its place. Beneath the aluminum, the F-150's frame is made of high-strength steel.
"It's about choosing the right material for the right purpose," said Art St. Cyr, vice president of product planning for American Honda. BIGGER IS BETTERUsing new materials does more than just shed weight. It also debunks the widely held theory that cars and trucks will have to get smaller, or use batteries or other alternative power, in order to meet strict federal gas mileage requirements. "The expectation used to be that you'd have to get the green version, the eco model," Dominique said. "But now everyone's baking it in normally."That's good news for the industry. Vehicles have quietly been getting bigger for the past few years, to the point that compacts are as big as older midsize cars. The Audi A4, for example, has gained 6 inches in the last decade, and its little sibling, the A3, has stretched to take its place. The A3 sedan is nearly the same size as the A4 was in 2004. At the same time, U.S. consumers are also choosing bigger vehicles, at least while gas prices are steady. Car sales grew at less than half the pace of SUVs and crossovers last year, according to Autodata Corp.
Ford's gamble on aluminum suggests those trends could continue despite the government's mandate that fleets meet a 54.5 mpg average by 2025. ZOOM, ZOOMThose fuel economy mandates once appeared to signal the death of sporty cars. But of the 50-plus new models being introduced in Detroit, more than a dozen are performance cars.Americans now have more discretionary income -- and a growing appetite for fast, maneuverable cars. Chevrolet unveiled two race-worthy versions of the Corvette, each with a staggering 625 horsepower V8, while Volkswagen pulled the cover off the 290-horsepower Golf R compact. Subaru unveiled a high-speed version of the already powerful WRX small car. Lexus showed its 450-horsepower RC F. Kia omitted the radio from its 315-horsepower GT4 Stinger because it thinks drivers will prefer the sound of the engine.The industry isn't just showing off. Sports cars take a lot of research and development time and money, but the payoff to automakers comes when technology finds its way into mainstream cars, said Stifel auto analyst Jamie Albertine. Chrysler has a sporty version of its new 200 midsize car, a segment known for more pedestrian rides. And BMW added M sport versions to its 3-Series sedan and 4-Series coupe.
The icing on the cake: The cars have smaller but better engines than the snarling V8 gas guzzlers of the past.

Lenses / Re: Canon 6d vs 24-70mm mark ii
« on: October 31, 2014, 01:20:32 PM »
As a current 6D owner also having moved from crop (no regrets), I would suggest you may end up using your 70-200 more for portraits anyway as it's focal length on FF feels much better than on crop. It actually feels a bit long on crop which makes it tougher to use for portraits. My vote is to go the 6D route as you may just find it with the 70-200 is a killer combination.

Medical Science has been doing wonders. it is a great help for heart patients. Know more about it
Whilst this is a great idea and a step in the right direction for implantable devices it of course brings with itself some inherent problems. Mainly that a wireless electrode with an external power supply will not be able to sense intrinsic (natural) electrical activity of the heart and relay this information back to the generator. Very few devices use a non-sensing mode which means these electrodes will have to be fitted with their own power-generating capabilities which will inturn make them larger, more difficult to implant and, as size is definitely an issue, of short life span compared to current devices, meaning less time between procedures.
BTW kt1234, pacemakers and ICDs are capable of passing through X-ray machines; they are used to implant the devices and position the leads. Not all devices, however, are compatible with MRI machines.
With more research and modification to overcome any frequency interaction, WICS have the potential to be an effective and safe method for regulating the heartbeat. WICS replace the use of leads with mechanical vibration from wireless control that is converted to electrical energy. This eliminates the need for major surgery to insert the leads and thus reduces the risk of infection, in effect saving lives. These can be valuable assets to the medical community and I hope they effectively replace conventional pacemakers in the near future.
Science is growing and evolving at a much faster rate. I think this is just a beginning. Did we ever think of pace makers especially wireless ones when we didn't even have one? I read a science article that there is a way that humans can make fake body organs that the brain can control. Plus, the growing nanotechnology just adds on to the wonders of technology. I think we are blessed to be in this time period where we can see technology surprising us everyday.
It is crazy to think how advanced technology has come over the years. Not only in the electronic and entertainment areas, but medically, technology has grown through the roof. Wireless pacemakers are going to be (hopefully) a life saving device. Yet at the same time, wireless does not always work now...
This is just one of many technological advances in the medical industry. This will prove to be very useful in the future due to the poor health of Americans today. An overwhelming amount of the country is obese due to the high-calorie foods and increasingly sedentary lifestyles. Obesity often leads to heart complications. With the invention of this, then maybe the amount of people suffering from such heart problems will decrease. But, all this is doing is helping to promote unhealthy lifestyles; if people know there will be something to help them then they are less motivated to take care of themselves to avoid having heart problems. Scientists should focus less on helping the problem and focus more on helping the situation from becoming a problem.
In todays world pacemakers are very common in people who have heart conditions. Lots of people are willing to undergo surgery and take the necessary steps to a healthier life. According to this artice this new innovation could make the pacemaker very simple which could be viewed in a good or bad way. Simpler is great but what if they over simplify something that should not be oversimplified. It could turn out terrible and be a total failure. Pacemakers going wireless also throws a whole new set of problems into the equation because there are many things in todays world that can interfier with wireless transmitters and cause major problems. I hope this does not happen to the new pacemaker, because, again this could be horrific.
A wireless pacemaker is amazing, who ever would have thought that our technology would reach this level. It does seem interesting that we are investing our money on wireless pacemakers when we already have pacemakers that serve the same purpose. However, I do understand that if it does the job more efficiently and ensures safety for those in need then I suppose it is worth while. Who knows what else our technology will produce in the coming years, everything is advancing so quickly.
LIke anything wireless, there will always be glitches, but playing around with wireless internet and a wireless pacemaker are completely different. This just seems like a death waiting to happen.
For anyone who, like me, has a close family member whose heart depends on a pacemaker and pumps very poorly it is encouraging to know that there is hope in an invention of Dr William Peters, a New Zealand cardiac surgeon, which is being developed and tested by Sunshine Heart Inc with the prospect of widespread clinical use in the US and Europe as early as 2013. The company, code SHC on the Australian Stock Exchange (and planning to list soon on NASDAQ) is based in Minnesota.
The device, the C-Pulse, is a sleeve over the ascending aorta which contracts regularly to aid the pumping of the blood by the heart (and in some early trials allow the heart to recover so well that the device was no longer needed). An important feature is that it does not touch the blood and, now, the power supply can be embedded and electrical induction from outside the body applied. Other improvements include the ability to insert the sleeve without a sternotomy such as is required for by-pass operations. It can be used with a pacemaker, unlike ventricular assist devices.
It would be good to learn more about it and its progress from The Economist. As an investor I would be hard to deter from maintaining my equity but, in any event, it is something worth knowing about if you or a family member suffers severe heart failure of the kind which makes going for a walk beyond the front gate difficult.
This is a pretty cool technology that has real benefits for saving lives. Anything that allowed doctors to save potential heart attack victims is okay in my book! I have also seen some research being done out there about embedding pacemakers in clothes, which is way cool! Essentially your shirt would be able to detect your heart beat through sensors and electronics and if a irregular heart beat was detected, the electronics in the shirt would be able to shock you back. Your shirt would literally save you life.
A wireless pacemaker is such a brilliant idea! It is sad watching people go through their heart problems wondering when a lead might fail. To remove these leads, it requires open-heart surgery, which is veryyyyy risky. No one wants to have to deal with that worry all of the time. I believe this will give these heart patients some relief. And I this new pacemaker is far along in the testing process if it is already being used on patients! This means we could certainly see this new pacemaker being used more often very soon!
If there is anyway we can improve noninvasive heart technology, it will definitely comes as a benefit for everyone. When the SA node malfunctions, it can have many implications for many different parts of the body of the heart (when the heart does not work- the rest of the body cannot either). I hope to keep seeing medicine heading in the right direction.
With the huge increase in cardiac disease thanks to obesity and unhealthy eating habits in general, surgeries like these are becoming much more common; any way to make it less risky is great news. I hope they are able to implement these wireless pacemakers soon because they would make such positive impacts on heart patients' lives!
WiCS does seem like a step ahead of the step maker in that it doesn't require leads. It is still dependent on the conventional pacemaker to initiate its signal. It has inched towards resolving the issue with insertion of 2-3 leads to connect various spots within the heart. My concern is the possibility of detachment of the WiCS. With the size of a grain of rice, I would imagine that it could be easily displaced or cause damage since it attached using miniature spikes (as depicted in the illustration).
The use of ultra sound to send signals is very convenient since it omits the need of any physical connection between different parts of the pacemaker. Here is a question: What if the patient is getting an ultra sound done on his/her body with a planted WiSC. Would it trigger a vibration in the apparatus?
I think that it is fascinating how the medical field improves every day. As every day goes by they are finding new ways to help people live longer and healthier lives. It is hard telling what they will come up with next, all i know is that you can expect the life expectancy of humans would live in these technological adveanced places to go up.
My grandmother just got a pacemaker and although the surgery is pretty simple people still worry. If pacemakers could go wireless the process would be so much easier and therefore so much for productive in restoring heart rhythm. This idea is every outstanding and i am confident that it will completely replace the method currently used in less than 5 years.
using wireless technology in pacemakers would be very helpful and convenient because today is the age of technology, and wireless innovation is more modern than using leads. I still feel like wireless technology could also bring upon more problems because it potentially requires more maintenance if something goes wrong. It is fascinating how technology has evolved over the years that we are now resorting to using wireless technology to power a major bodily organ.
This is really a great step forward in pacemaker technology. Something like this was almost unimaginable only a short while ago. I think that as time goes on we are moving toward a time when we can essentially just replace any body part that doesn't function properly just like we replace car parts.
Things like this make you wonder when we will stop inventing new things, or better yet if we will stop inventing new things. I suppose we will always be inventing new things to solve today's problems.

For Carmen Ojeda - whose daughter died of an asthma attack after a police officer who pulled her over en route to the hospital allegedly told her he "didn't do CPR" - watching the video of Eric Garner's struggle with police brought her back to her own tragedy.
"I was screaming. I was crying. I feel like I failed - because I've been trying to do this for the last four years," Ms. Ojeda said, referring to her push of "Briana's Law," a bill that would require NYPD officers to be re-trained in CPR every two years.
"Just hearing those words, 'I can't breathe, I can't breathe,' it's like reliving that moment over and over," Ms. Ojeda said.
"That's what my daughter told her: 'Mommy, I can't breathe,'" Briana's father, Michael Ojeda, said of his 11-year-old daughter, who died in 2010 when the family finally reached the hospital.
The Ojedas held a small rally in front of Brooklyn Borough Hall to call for passage of the bill - which made it through the Assembly last session, where it was sponsored by Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, but stalled in the State Senate. They also called for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to look into signing an executive order to mandate CPR re-training.
The issue of police using CPR is back in the news after the death of Eric Garner in NYPD custody. Video shows an officer, identified as Daniel Pantaleo, using an apparent chokehold to bring the asthmatic Mr. Garner to the ground as he repeatedly says he cannot breathe. Another video posted online this weekend shows minutes passing by while officers do nothing to resuscitate him - with one officer telling a bystander CPR isn't being performed because Mr. Garner is breathing.
"It's an outrage that our police officers are able to use so much aggression and not know how to save a life - but they know how to kill a life. It's inhumane," Ms. Ojeda said said.
The video also shows Mr. Pantaleo waving at the camera, an action that reminded the Ojedas of the bad attitude the officer who stopped Ms. Ojeda on the way to the hospital - she recalled him smirking at her as he daughter struggled to breathe.
"They show that they have no respect for us," Mr. Ojeda said of the actions caught on video. "The test for the police officers should be some kind of different test - they should have to do some kind of moral test. It's not just read a book and do it. That's not a cop - a cop is somebody who cares."
Mr. Ortiz, the assemblyman, said his mind went to Briana's death "very quick" when he saw the video of Mr. Garner.
"I was completely dismayed and disappointed that we didn't mandate CPR," he said.
With the attention on Mr. Garner's death, Mr. Ortiz said, "We hope that the Senate and the governor will take this issue more seriously."
Four years after her daughter's death, the Ojedas believe the proposed law could have saved Mr. Garner's life.
"They call it a no-brainer," Mr. Ojeda said of lawmakers backing the bill. "But four years later, the no-brainer's still not done."

Diet change and Puppy has runny stools
I picked up Saxon two weeks ago from the breeder .Over the last week i slowly changed his diet from Purina Puppy Chow ,which the breeder gave him,to Victor all life stages and puppy. Since yesterday he is on all Victor and now has runny stools. He is happy ,active and no problems otherwise. Do I change him back to puppy chow ? He was eating 2 1/2 cups puppy chow and now eats 2 1/2 cups Victor. Is it maybe too much Victor since it is a better food?

Add a tablespoon of plain pure pumpkin. Libby's. It's going to take time. Give it a few weeks. Make sure he's drinking enough water

Try adding a tablespoon or two of cornflour into some water and mix in with the kibble. I have used cornflour with diarrhoea and it worked for me.

Thank you all for the advice. I really appreciate it. I have scaled down the amount of Victor I gave him and we got solid poops ! He now poops only twice a day and is happy and active.Instead of 2 1/2 cups Victor a day ,I now give him 2 cups a day .

I'm assuming he's around 10 weeks? since you got him a couple weeks ago?
I usually feed my 8 week + a 1/2 cup three times a day, since you cut him back and your seeing better stools, yep, you may have been over feeding him...When they hit about 12 weeks, I 'up' it to 3/4 maybe a little more depending on body type/energy level..

Woah slow down there. You can't just start slapping paint on that there wall – there is a skill to it. Follow these simple tips and do a decorating job that would make your Dad proud…
Use protection
Before you go anywhere near that paint tin, make sure you have your oldest, most rubbish painting clothes on, your hair tied back and jewellery off. Then do the same for your room.
Make sure all furniture is pulled away from the walls and covered, and put a protector or overlapping newspaper on the floor. Guaranteed paint will go everywhere.
Be prepared
Treat decorating like you're doing surgery. Lay all your implements out on a designated painting table. Brushes, masking tape, stirring stick (yes that is the technical term), roller, emergency kitchen roll.
'Cause this is filler
If you have any holes or uneven patches in your wall – use filler to patch them up. This must be fully dry before you can start to paint.
Sand it down
Roughing up the area you are about to paint will make sure it goes on better and sticks. Get some sandpaper and lightly rough up the wall. Work methodically across the whole surface.
Sand down the bits you've filled so they are now flush with the rest of the wall.
Clean it up
Brush up all the dust and then wipe the surface, but don't make it wet.
Masking tape at the ready
Use a good quality masking tape to edge your skirting boards, around doors, windows – basically anywhere you are going to need to paint up to the edge.
Cut it in
Ready? Let's paint. Your paint might have formed a delightful skin on it – remove that and then stir your paint. It's often easier to decant some of it into a tray or a small bucket. This prevents the tin getting dust and brush fibres in it.
Start off with a small paintbrush and cut in the wall. That means do the edges in decorator lingo. Paint in firm straight lines along the edges where the wall meets the ceiling, other walls, doors. You are creating a clean border around your wall.
Keep rolling
Now it's the fun bit. Rollering. For rough surfaces pick a bigger roller than for smooth ones. It's tempting to buy the cheapest rollers out there – but this is a false economy. It's worth spending a bit more on a better set.
Dip your roller into about ½ inch of paint and then roll it against the rough edge on your roller tray to ensure it is spread out evenly. You may need to do this a couple of times when you start off to get it nice and evenly covered.
Start at one end of your wall. Lay the paint on the wall in a sweeping motion. Leave about six inches from the top and bottom on the wall and using slight pressure, roll the paint up and down. Ensure that each new sweep slightly overlaps the one before.
Wet edges
Don't stop in the middle of the job. Each new bit of paint needs to overlap with a wet bit to blend. If you let one section dry, go away for a nap and come back to do the other half, you may see the join.
Connect the dots
Once you've done about four foot of the wall, go back around the edges with your roller and join the cutting in to the main bulk of the wall by carefully doing a long stroke along the edge. Carry on working along the wall.
Don't take too long!
Work quickly and carefully to ensure your strokes all blend. Wait for this coat to fully dry before doing a second.
Total decorating domination.

Dunk has caught the eye of several clubs having started every game for the Seagulls, who top the Championship after dropping just two points in their opening six games.
Poyet told BBC Sussex: "Sometimes you cannot keep players forever. We couldn't do it with Andrew Crofts or Elliott Bennett.
"They'll have to pay. I'm not bothered. Everybody's got a price. Dunky has got his price because of the way he plays.
"If he goes to play in the Premier League, I can't control that. I can control him while he's here."

Tweets by @stsuclSTS Big Idea Wins UCL Big Bucks
31 March 2012
Congratulations to Anish Vinayak (STS BSc student Year 2), who has won UCL's prestigious Bright Ideas Award 2012 and secured funding for his business proposal.
From the announcement:
HelpYouApply. Anish Vinayak, 2nd year BSc History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Science. £5,000.
Anish came up with the idea for HelpYouApply, a website that helps students fill in the applications for internships, year placements and graduate schemes, when he found himself filling in the same information over and over. He says: "The Bright Ideas award is not just another business plan competition. You are securing a business loan from professionals who believe your idea can work in the real world." He will spend the money on building an online presence, securing the software to auto-fill all the forms, and paying employees when the company is fully operational towards the end of August.
Anish is the second STS student to earn such high esteem. In 2011, Raoul Tawadey won the competition for his business, Circalit. Raoul (2008 BSc Natural Sciences) had our HPSSS programme for one of his core streams.
"We're extremely proud of Anish," said STS's head of department Dr Joe Cain. "This is a great example of the ways our students work to connect life in the department with life after university. We're right along side."

what makes me say all this is that they are in no position to say that when far more worse assaults are happening on all sexes in their own country.......
blindly making blanket statements like "women should be able to freak out all alone in the night" is not correct.......that may suit the women in the west as they maybe single for most parts of their lives and feel the need to do whatever they want being alone......that's when i talked about the differences of cultures......
tennisbum and jr turned a blind eye to it and kept pointing at the incident and the outrage in india......jr went as far as taking one or two disastrous incidents, generalized them and asked me if that's what i meant by culture......
their posts reflect nothing but mean agenda......
Uh, tennisbum and I "turned a blind eye to"
in either case, which (as regards the one in India) seemed to drive you nuts.
Neither of us would ignore the contributing "cultural factors".... with more detail from me, ala sex selection abortion, and sometimes its "post-birth cousin", female infanticide.
Sure the PC thing is to only call rape a crime of violence and power, but it IS also about sexual gratification; so the "young female shortage" the above have created in large parts of India
contribute to
the rape stats. Those who refuse 2B silent about these "all too common" things are better friends of potential rape victims there than UR.
tennisbum and I have clear "post trails" here of bashing those elements of American culture that lead to things like school shootings and a host of other social ills. As debopero correctly noted, this should
be turned into a US vs. India thread.
countries have serious ills, that others
criticize without being "haters".

More and more live theatrical presentations are driven by software. Of course Kraftwerk are the godfathers of technology in the arts.
Kraftwerk began touring again in 2004. They captured the performance and are offering an right now audio cd and in the near future will be releasing a double DVD. This site has some clips that will be on the DVD - http://kraftwerk.technopop.com.br/video.php
After watching this footage, I think it's fascinating how these pioneers in synth music continue embrace technology and have radically simplified their stage setup to deliver their music live. Each member has a laptop (sony vaio) and small midi keyboard controller - that's it!

quote: I think Littlefinger is going to reveal some major shite and Sansa will kill him; she's definitely noticed that she's his weakness and I definitely think Sansa will be Littlefinger's demise.
quote:i just think this is too cliche for martin
quote:Honestly, Janos Slynt's death is probably the most satisfying one yet. Just when you think Jon is about to puss out on the hanging by saying "This isn't right" he says "Edd, fetch me the block". The biggest frick yeah moment for me in the series. Slynt goes out like the spineless coward he really is and Stannis Baratheon gives Jon a fist pump. I think I may despise Slynt more than Joffrey. Never met someone like Joffrey in my life, but I have met a few Janos Slynts in my day, which makes me despise him all the more.
quote:Honestly, I could see Edmure's son growing up to be a very interesting character. Remember how haunted Rhaegar was by being conceived at the burning of Summerhall? Imagine how haunted a kid who was the product of the Red Wedding would be. If they do an epilogue that is years in the future, he's the person I'd most like to see.
quote:Crackpot theory is that Robb warged into Grey Wind, then into Raynald (his second life as explained during Varymyr Sixskins prologue chapter in DwD) after Grey Wind started getting attacked. In Jaime's chapter, in FFC, where Edmure finally surrenders Riverrun he asked about what happened to Raynald. One of the Frey's tells Jamie that Raynald was really meek during the Red Wedding ("he gave up his sword without a fight") but as soon as they went after Grey Wing Raynald flipped out and started killing Frey's left and right. Then, after getting shot in the stomach and the shoulder he slipped into the Trident and no one has seen him since.
quote:Here's another point I've been thinking about as well: -Howland lives in Greywater Watch, so why didn't he raise Jon? Jon would've flown under the radar, and perhaps not had to be raised a bastard. Was Lyanna and Ned's promise two-fold, in that not only did she want Jon to be protected and his identity remain secret, but also that a Stark (Ned) must raise him as one of his own, alongside his cousins?
quote:What is High Heart???

Heffner was appointed on July 12, 2011, after having served as Interim Superintendent since April 2011. On Saturday, August 4, 2012, Heffner tendered his resignation amid revelations that he had committed several ethics violations regarding a job offer he received from the Educational Testing Services. Accusations that he deliberately covered-up a conflict of interest are being investigated by the state inspector general.[3] Heffner's resignation went into effect August 10, 2012.

No one who is interested financially in any book publishing or book selling company, firm, or corporation, shall be eligible to appointment as superintendent of public instruction. If a superintendent becomes interested financially in any book publishing or book selling company, firm, or corporation, said superintendent shall forthwith be removed from office by the state board. The interest of a person as author of a book shall not be improper, provided such book is not one offered for use by pupils in the public schools of Ohio. |

The agreement includes the latest LTE technology and prepaid charging including consulting and systems integration services.
