As for Yau Man, he tells us he feels good -- he's allied with the "very strong and honorable" Earl, and of course, he has the idol. So his priority right now is just making it to the merge. He tells us that he was trying to think about not letting anyone know that he had the idol, after which he says he had "a really evil thought." And what was this really evil thought? He decided to make a fake idol and bury it where the idol is meant to be, so that someone else might find it and think he or she had it, and at least not know that Yau Man had it. He makes an "idol" out of a coconut shell with a face painted on it, and...I'm not sure I think it would fool anyone with six brain cells to rub together, even/especially with the letters "I.I." that Yau Man paints on it just to make sure you know it's...the Immunity Idol. Nevertheless, he's at least making an effort. He wraps his "idol" in a cloth, and as he slips it into his bag, he says to the camera, "There are so many immunity idols running around here!" He's so cute. And then, when Michelle and Stacy are sleeping, Yau Man buries it good and shallow, saying he just hopes someone will wind up with a fake. He explains that the challenge is important, because he's "always a target," even though he has the idol. He hopes he won't have to use it.
We move to the challenge course, where the tribes have already gathered. Jeff asks how they're doing, and then he welcomes Earl back from Exile Island. Jeff takes back immunity from Moto -- it's "back up for grabs!" In today's challenge, one person for each team will act as the "caller," while everybody else is blindfolded. One at a time, the caller will lead people out into an area where there are five skulls hanging free from above. The caller has to guide you through smashing a skull, piñata-style, which will not only splatter paint everywhere (according to the demo clip), but also drop a tied-together pack of tiles. With your blindfold still on, you find the tiles on the ground and take them over to your team's puzzle table, and then run back to the team. When all the tiles have been delivered, the team can take the blindfolds off and run to the table to unscramble the tiles into a two-word phrase. Jeff notes that you are allowed to switch callers if, for some reason, you feel like you need to. Like, for instance, if you put your most annoying person up there first.
The callers are set up to be Michelle and Lisi. I have no idea what the thinking is behind making Lisi the caller for Moto, but I suppose that's the team's decision. Maybe they think she'll find her happy place if they let her do all the yelling. Lisi is leading Alex, and Michelle is leading Stacy. Go! From the beginning, it's fairly clear that Michelle has the gift for caller work, and Lisi does not. Not only that, but Michelle dances around adorably as she yells out things like, "Go forward, go forward, go forward, go forward!" She's like a cheerleader, only with more of a direct purpose. (Oh, keep your saddle shoes on. Don't email me.) Stacy has her tiles on the table in no time, while Alex is now ineffectually swinging his club (heh) menacingly, missing everything as the skull swings in the air. So apparently, he managed to hit it, but not break it, and that's why it's swinging. Lisi basically has him right where he needs to be; it's the swinging that's a problem. She tells him to let the thing stop swinging, but then the skull falls to the ground, so she has to lead him to it and have him smash it there.

Bigger US role battling genocide?
A task force's findings, urging US leadership, may dovetail with ideas of Obama administration.
Jeff Haynes/Reuters
A genocide prevention task force concludes that US leadership, early warnings, preventive diplomacy, and coordinated international action are crucial elements of any effort to prevent the kind of mass killings that have ravaged Sudan's Darfur and the Congo.
That may sound like another well-meaning Washington study destined to gather dust. But the fate of this task force – led by two Clinton administration foreign-policy heavyweights, Madeleine Albright and William Cohen – might be a little brighter. One reason: The conclusion of its year-long labor corresponds with President-elect Obama's naming to his national-security team a diplomat who has advocated swift action when genocide threatens.
Susan Rice, Mr. Obama's pick to be the US ambassador to the United Nations, had experience with the Rwanda genocide of the 1990s during her years as a chief Africa diplomat under the Clinton administration. Since then – most recently as chief foreign-policy adviser to candidate Obama – Ms. Rice has advocated a tough response, including US military intervention if necessary, to prevent mass killings of unprotected populations.

A lost season for Bears rookie Gabe Carimi
November, 18, 2011
Kevin Seifert | ESPN.com
The Chicago Bears carried rookie right tackle Gabe Carimi on their active roster for as long as they could. But with his prospects for a late-season return growing bleaker by the day, and after the loss of another starter forced some roster re-shuffling, the Bears placed Carimi on injured reserve Friday.
Carimi hasn't played, and has participated in only one practice, since dislocating his knee in Week 2. It's been mostly a lost season for a highly-touted rookie whom the Bears were trying to transition to a new position, but there is every reason to believe he will be ready to re-join the starting lineup in 2012. It would have been nice to keep Carimi active for the sake of eventual practice repetitions, whether or not he played in games, but the Bears can't afford that luxury.
Left guard Chris Williams (wrist) was placed on injured reserve earlier this week, and general manager Jerry Angelo told the team's web site that "it became tough for us to hold a roster spot [for Carimi] given our numbers on the offensive line with Chris going down last week."
Indeed, the Bears have promoted two members of their practice squad to the active roster in recent days: Ricky Henry and Levi Horn. Veteran Frank Omiyale is the other backup now that Edwin Williams has replaced Chris Williams at left guard.

I have a set of OEM 09-11 TRD smoked headlights for sale. Looking for $200+shipping.
- OEM smoked headlights
- Great shape, no scratches
- No broken mounts
- Never been baked
- Passenger side has a leak - leak only shows up if a power wash is directed into the far right side. Rain or hose washing do not leak anything. Drys out over a week or two after it happens, good to go until an auto car wash or pressure washer hit it.
- I bought thses about 1.5 years ago. Came off of an 09 Sport. I ran my truck though a car washer shortly after I got them, and had it leak/fog. Dried out over a week, never happened again until I had some body work done (rear door and bed). Body shop decided to pressure wash it. I decided I was done messing with them.

Hello all, I'm currently assembling the parts to build a three vessel, same level, 10 Gallon, all grain system. I would like to install quick dis-connects between the outlet of the HTL and MT and the inlet to a March pump. I will have a March pump between the HLT and MT as well as the MT and BT. I'm interested in running flexible tubing from the two outlets to the two inlets of the pumps as to facilitate removing the kettles for cleaning. Obviously, I will need quick dis-connects from the ball valves of the drain of both the HLT and MT. Each vessel is a 30 1/2 gallon converted Sanke keg. Construction will commence immediately upon my return to the states from the sands of Iraq. I need suggestions for disconnects. Brand, type, suppliers, etc, as well as tubing types. Thanks folks.
Consider going to Home Depot or Lowes and getting the quick connects associated with aircompressors. They come in a couple of sizes the brass ones would probably be the most appropriate.
Your going to find a lot of people suggesting the brass QD from http://www.mcmaster.com/ Search for part 6739K64 and 6739K59 on their website. They are very affordable and work just great. The only downside is you'll need to wear some gloves when using them while hot
Yup, I grab bare handed when I'm moving 170F liquids but I go for a rag when If boiling liquid has been running.
Based on all the suggestions, I have these QDs on the way.

Looking for help beyond this weeks tournament? You have an idea, or need a challenge? Be sure to check our Angry Birds Friends Forum.
3-Star Walkthrough – Score: 352,500

The 2015 HOF class has been announced, and sadly, albeit not surprisingly, Terrell Davis was not included. That's Terrell Davis, Greatest Postseason Runner in NFL History, NFL MVP, Super Bowl MVP, 2,000-yard rusher, and best player on two SB-winning teams. Yes, that Terrell Davis, the one who for a period of time was as great a running back as the NFL has ever seen, but apparently wasn't good enough for these HOF voters.
And yet, some guy who played a really long time and averaged 3.9 yards per attempt is in. According to PFR, the player whose career was most similar to this new HOFer's career is one Corey Dillon. Does anyone think Corey Dillon was an NFL HOFer? Meaning, aside from in that one game we don't want to talk about?

Physicists from Harvard and Columbia, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Bill Nye have called it unlikely that the Patriots' footballs shrunk on their own. But did they check their work?
According to scientists at Carnegie Mellon and MIT, Mother Nature really may be to blame for the Pats' latest cheating scandal.
From the New York Times:

The NFLPA continues to believe the NFL is lowballing the 2015 salary cap estimate at $138.6M-$141.8M. In response, the players' union plans to release its own estimate next month, ahead of the national combine.
It's a legitimate concern for the players, as the league has consistently underestimated salary cap forecasts in the past. The initial predictions for 2014 had the cap around $126M, but the final number was significiantly higher, at $133M.

Questions on zone blocking have been pouring in. There's no question that it has advantages for Denver, whether Peyton Manning stays or not. The question for today is whether we should expect Denver to begin a change to more mobile linemen.
The answer is, not necessarily. I see that as a good thing.
In Dennis Hooper's March 2009 article on inside zone blocking, he laid out what you want in a zone blocking lineman. Here's what he listed (I've numbered his bullet points):
Continue reading "Mail: Do the Broncos need to acquire more mobile linemen?"
The Broncos announced on Wednesday the hiring of Joe Woods as their defensive backs coach. Over the past 11 seasons, Woods has held that same position in Tampa Bay (2004-05), Minnesota (2006-13), and Oakland (2014).
Woods, 44, has apparently not worked with Wade Phillips or Gary Kubiak before; in Minnesota, he worked under Leslie Frazier; in Tampa Bay, he worked under Monte Kiffin and tutored Raheem Morris, who was his assistant secondary coach.
The Broncos have brought back Wade Phillips to be their defensive coordinator, it was announced on Wednesday. In his first Denver stint, Phillips coordinated the Broncos defense from 1989 to 1992 and took over as head coach for two seasons after the firing of Dan Reeves.
He was something of a placeholder head coach for Mike Shanahan, who turned down the head job in 1993 but returned two years later. According to various reports, Phillips may again be taking a temporary position, as Vance Joseph's contract in Cincinnati will be up after 2015.
Continue reading "Broncos hire Wade Phillips as defensive coordinator"
One of our readers recently emailed us with several questions relating to the likely offensive line and system under new head coach Gary Kubiak. We'll address them one by one over the coming days and weeks:
Do you believe we will be going back to a pure ZB scheme? - Kevin
It's a great question, Kevin, and one that's on the mind of most Broncos fans. The short answer is yes, in degree. But, I think that we'll see more than that.
Continue reading "Mail: Will the Broncos return to a pure zone blocking scheme?"
The Broncos can forget about Perry Fewell stepping in as a replacement for Vance Joseph in Cincy. The former Giants DC is reportedly heading to Washington, where he'll take over as secondary coach for the departed Raheem Morris. As Jeff Legwold told it, Denver had hoped the Bengals might allow Joseph to become the Broncos' DC if Cincy could in turn hire Fewell as a replacement.
Instead, it now looks like the Broncos will turn to either Wade Phillips - who was/is interviewing today and may keep the seat warm for a year until Joseph's Cincy contract expires - or former Falcons head man Mike Smith.
Continue reading "Perry Fewell won't be facilitating a Broncos hire of Vance Joseph"
If the Broncos can't pry Vance Joseph away from Cincinnati, they may just have to wait out the last year of his contract. According to multiple reports, Wade Phillips is interviewing for Denver's DC vacancy on Tuesday. Alex Marvez suggests Denver may hire Phillips for the 2015 season, with the intent of making Joseph their DC in 2016, and shifting the Son of Bum to an advisory role that year.
Joseph coached defensive backs for the Texans from 2011 to 2013, when Gary Kubiak was head coach and Phillips was DC.

Today was grand opening day at the newest Modmarket in Plano, Texas, but thanks to the hospitality we received last week during our soft opening, it felt like a homecoming.
More than 1,000 guests got a sneak peek at our farm fresh fare, and they liked what they tasted.
"We were very impressed. Delicious food, great service, happy tummies!" – Kim C.
"Wow! Went to my first Modmarket in Plano this week and had a great dining experience. We enjoyed the fresh, well prepared, and healthy food. " - Liz V.
"I visited the Plano location this week during the soft launch, and I have to say – I'm a big fan! The staff was friendly, the food was fantastic, and the atmosphere is just what this neighborhood needs." – Kayla B.
We are overflowing with gratitude and pride just reading these comments!
And to top it off, we had a very successful fundraiser during the soft opening for North Texas Food Bank. Nearly $2,000 was raised, which means close to 6,000 meals will be provided to those in need. Thank you, Plano, for helping make this possible.
If you live in the Plano area, stop in for a visit. We would love to share the Modmarket experience with you!

J.M. Smucker (SJM) Slides on Shrinking Sales
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- J.M. Smucker (SJM - Get Report) disappointed Wall Street after falling prices across its products failed to inspire increased consumer spending. By early afternoon, shares toppled 6.7% to $101.32.
The owner of Folgers coffee, Jif peanut butter and Smucker's jams recorded second-quarter net income of $1.52 a share, 8 cents lower than analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters estimated.
Revenue of $1.56 billion, 4% lower than a year earlier, missed consensus by $50 million. Smucker slashed prices on many of its products because of decreased commodity prices particularly for coffee and peanuts, but this failed to significantly increase sales volume.
Volume gains were seen in its Crisco oils, Jif peanut butter and Smucker's fruit spreads segments, offsetting weakness in sales of flour and canned milk. In its retail coffee segment, revenue fell 4%, due to price cuts, despite a 1% increase in volume sales for Folgers and 11% gain for Dunkin' Donuts-branded coffee.
"The benefit of lower commodity costs has provided us with the flexibility to further support our value proposition. We believe we have this combination solidly in place for the holiday season and beyond," said Chief Operating Officer Vince Byrd in a statement. For the full year ending April, the Orville, Ohio-based business said it expects net sales to fall 2%. The company previously forecast a sales decline of 1%. Earnings are expected in the range of $5.72 to $5.82 a share, lower than analysts' expectations of $5.84 a share. TheStreet Ratings team rates J.M. Smucker (JM) CO as a Buy with a ratings score of A. The team has this to say about its recommendation: "We rate J.M. Smucker (JM) CO (SJM) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its impressive record of earnings per share growth, expanding profit margins, increase in net income, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and reasonable valuation levels. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow."- You can view the full analysis from the report here: SJM Ratings Report

E3: The Press Conference Notes, Day 1
By A Real Person on June 7, 2011
Nerdist has some of our folks wandering the halls of the E3 show in Los Angeles this week. While they do that, our video game maven Patrick did some of the dirty work of monitoring E3 press conferences to see what's new; here's his report from Monday's pressers:
It's E3 time. The conference that gets Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony all fired up and ready to talk about what to expect this year. I'll be doing my best to do a daily round up of the day's events. Sleep is for the weak*.
First off was the wondrous Microsoft conference. Sorry, did I write Microsoft? I meant Kinect. Of the 90 minutes of conference, about 15 minutes was non-Kinect. If you don't have one, there's not a lot here that's going to interest you.
It began with a live demo of Modern Warfare 3, which is interesting to say the least. I didn't know it was possible to make the same game for the third time. I've never been a fan of the most recent CODs, mostly because of how they seem to be the same game every time, except the storyline gets more batshit insane. I don't know what the story is this time, except that World War 3 has broken out, but I'm hoping beyond hope that it isn't the same shambling mess of a plot that MW2 was.
Speaking of games I don't understand and don't like, Gears Of War 3 was shown. With Ice-T! On stage! It's almost like the game was about a bunch of buffed up men with a lot of sexual tension! If I were a decent person, I'd look at it objectively but I don't see a difference between any of the Gears of War series at all.
Let's do the rest of the non-Kinect games. The announcement of a new Tomb Raider was a while ago, and I've been enjoying the last few very much so. This new one focuses on Ms. Croft before she became a fully fledged Tomb Raider. There's a quick demo which did take my breath away, especially how terrified Lara is. I'm looking forward to this more than I thought I would.
So the next non-Kinect game is… oh. There isn't one. That's right, Microsoft decided to show 3 non-Kinect games. Granted, Mass Effect 3 (which EA do a better job at showing) is there but they use it to show off what Kinect can do. I'm always dubious about voice recognition, but if it works I can see ME3 being fascinating.
What mostly wound me up was Ubisoft coming on and saying that every future Tom Clancy game is going to have Kinect support. It reminds me of those wonderful days where you actually use a controller to do things. Fair play to Microsoft, there's a lot of interesting things available for Kinect, but it seemed to be just a crutch.
The most interesting thing seems to be Kinect Fun Labs, where you can use the Kinect to take 3D pictures, create an avatar of you exactly and also create digital copies of physical objects. I'll be honest, all of them looked like fun but the cynic in me just thinks "Didn't the DSi do that first?".
There are 2 family games coming out in the next few months – Sesame Street and Kinect Disneyland – both of which were shown absolutely abysmally. I'm looking forward for the day when the E3 people realise that you shouldn't use children on stage. It just seems fake and overacted, especially the part where the kid says something and repeats it because he didn't think anyone heard him over the older man's forced laughter.
Speaking of fake, Kinect Sports: Season 2 isn't finished yet. I don't know why, but it felt like what was going on was scripted and the Football duo were really unfunny. In a conference like this, you have people who work on their games and you should just let them talk. If you script them, it'll look and sound wrong because they aren't actors.
Other things of note is how they're including Live TV on Xbox Home, and you can use the Kinect to search Bing if you're of that persuasion. The Kinect appears to be very good at voice recognition, especially when it's searching for words that aren't keywords. It could be endless fun. If I had a Kinect I'd probably spend a fair bit of time messing with it. "Xbox Bing Google" would be my first port of call.
There wasn't much else of note. A trailer for a game in Rome called Ryse with Kinect Swordfighting was announced, Tom Clancy's Future Soldier showed how you can use the Kinect to customise weaponry and a HD version of Halo 1 and Halo 4 were both announced. All in all, Microsoft are trying to get the most out of Kinect, and it bugged me that they didn't talk about Windows 8 at all. My PC bias is a well known one, but I can't help but think that if they're serious about breaking into the PC they need to be talking about it at their biggest conference.
To EA! Mass Effect 3 was shown a bit more, with a demo of combat with one of those old fashioned controllers. If you thought that you were watching a film, then you could be forgiven. To put it bluntly, I'm worried that it's going to be a Sci-Fi film with a bit of interactivity. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong, and I hope I am.
Mr. EA man also made a fun joke about the fact that it's on a small stage with the developers doing the talking. Granted, you can see him reading the autocue, but if the developers are talking and they've written their own speeches, it's going to turn out good.
A new Need For Speed gets an unveiling, which is a race from San Francisco to New York. I haven't ever kept up with the NFS series, mostly because it takes itself with a medium of seriousness, as opposed to the glorious Burnout where it says, "Oh hi, I noticed you crashed. Have a gamemode!". The live demo is interesting, mostly because he screws up the turn a few times and doesn't react.
We're also given the opportunity to see the non-car sections of the game, which turn out to be quick time events. I'm kind of disappointed by it because of how much they'd hyped it, and it turned out to be… dull. There seems to be a lot of scripted events in this race as well, so it could be infuriating if you're just after a simple series of races.
If you're at a conference, then you should know that the best way to get a cheer is to finish one section and play the Star Wars theme. If you've been following Bioware, then you should know that they're making a Star Wars MMO, and they're being immensely ambitious (every agent being voice acted and things like that). The trailer that he shows seems to be the original trailer with a couple of extra bits, but I have to say I'm excited. It's Bioware, and they know how to make a game world seem alive.
Since we're working with EA, we're stuck with hearing about EA Sports. Fifa has the same thing as COD to me: I just don't understand why you would buy the same game with some changes, though I hear the past few iterations had some interesting additions. My main issue is that you pay for a new incremental update, and they could just release a new one every 2 years and give a team DLC every year or something. The new social idea looks interesting. The Football Club linking you to the team you support and giving you challenges to avenge your team's real world defeat looks amazing.
Hey look, a bunch of American Football stars. That joke about the celebrities is a bit dumb, now, isn't it EA. Madden 12 gets an endorsement from Ray Lewis, Peyton Hillis and Clay Matthews. Seeing as I'm a filthy Brit, I don't get Eggball, but, hey, it obviously sells.
And there appears to have been a big demand for a new SSX. If you can do what the trailer does (and trust me, I'm laughing as hard as you are) it'd be fascinating to play. There's great things about avoiding avalanches by jumping and swinging off a helicopter. I'd be surprised if said jump isn't scripted, but if it isn't then they could do good.
Next mentioned is The Sims Social. I refuse to discuss it further beyond the joke that they make about it not being based on agriculture.
When I mentioned before about letting developers talk, I meant it for the 38 Studios's CEO Curt Schilling (apparently he used to be some pitcher for a team in Boston, but probably not). (Editor's note: Yes. And for Philadelphia, Houston, and Arizona, too. Google "bloody sock") It's clear that he's excited about the first chance to talk about his game. Reckoning appears to be an open world fantasy game, with the tag "A hero is reborn to find his killer". Revenge is the best motivation. Combat looks rather fluid as well which is one of the things I want games to fix.
Next up is OverStrike, which isn't going to be a PS3 exclusive like Insomniac usually do. It reminded me of X Squad, which was a game where you were in charge of a team of 4 just like this. It looks rather interesting, if a bit clichéd. It looks like The A Team in the future, but with 4 members who are rather crazy and have freaky gadgets.
Finally we get to see Battlefield 3, which I notice is demoed on a PC. They talk an awful lot about the tech, and how realistic it is, but I'm not sure that it's interesting. I can't work out if it's a multiplayer or single-player though, and the demo looks boring. Maybe it plays better than watching someone play. It's just you in a tank, aimlessly firing at other tanks.
If we're honest, EA put on a much better show than Microsoft. Focusing on a nice diverge range of games, and not making me type Kinect every 3 seconds means that I'm not wanting to kill you.
Coming next, Sony and Ubisoft.
*And yes, I am weak. I keep falling asleep onto my keosdfhi hbzshsssssssss
I agree that Microsoft's conference this year was less than impressive, especially as compared to previous years. I think the issue for me this year is that almost everything from all of the press conferences is something I'd read about weeks ago. There aren't a lot of huge surprises. However, when you get to looking at the Sony show, the new handheld they have is pretty impressive.
I still want a Kinect, though, mostly because of Fable: The Journey. When they first demo'd the Kinect a few years ago (then it was Project Natal), that's the first game that came to mind that I'd like to play like that. I really liked the guy who was spellcasting using arm movements. It fulfills my inner fantasy of wanting to be a wizard.
What about the Fable game that used the Kinect?
I forgot about it, and was also rather unimpressed. Fable on Rails isn't that impressive in my opinion.
I for one was let down by Microsoft's conference, simply because it looked like they were trying to force the motion issue. One of the things I appreciate with Sony & Microsoft is that they can still produce polished non-motion games. I watch E3 to see those, but understand they have to show everything. I am extremely let down by the focus on motion only by Microsoft.
"Oh hi, I noticed you crashed. Have a gamemode!"
Did you come up with that? I think it's absolutely brilliant.
Sony put a lot of emphasis on Move, as well, and for some reason, I found that a lot more annoying that Microsoft's focus on Kinect. I've always thought that Kinect was a cool piece of technology, though, and I don't think we've seen all of its capabilities yet. I was pretty impressed with the weapons demo for one of the games (I forget which – a war game, which I'm not into. LOL) using the Kinect.
I noticed a lot less Move stuff for Sony (I've caught up with Sony but I was at a session last night), since they were focused on Vita which looks good for my money.
Gabe: Not guilty, but I wish I was.

A city-wide showcase/celebration of the fine arts organizations best connecting with young artists and art lovers in Boston. Read more
A city-wide showcase/celebration of the fine arts organizations best connecting with young artists and art lovers in Boston.
About this project
Opus Affair celebrates its fourth birthday in May and we're marking the occasion by announcing our biggest project yet. A project so big, we could only imagine calling it...
From the first days of Opus Affair, we've wanted to throw a huge party to unite all of the young professional arts programs in Boston. Now that we're turning four years old, the time has finally come.
Opus Affair and Eastern Standard are throwing a city-wide arts cocktail party like Boston has never seen. We're celebrating arts organizations that make our city a better place for young artists and for young professionals who love the arts—and we're throwing our biggest party ever to do it!
On Sunday, July 15th, from 1-5pm, Eastern Standard will transform in its entirety into a 1920s, Gatsby-style lawn party, complete with live music, thematic party games, and plenty of surprises: play croquet on the patio, pose for photos in the art gallery, watch some silent short films while sipping cocktails...it goes on from there.
How do I get tickets?
Tickets go on sale to the general public on June 4th, but Kickstarter donors can get them now. Pledge $75 (or more) and a ticket is yours. Take a look at the reward categories to right for the specific rewards at each donation tier.
What if I don't know if I'll be in town on July 15 yet?
That's ok, you can select a reward tier that includes SALON tickets and/or A-LIST membership—they aren't tied to one specific date. You can also donate at a lower level and increase your pledge at a later time between now and June 3rd.
Why a Kickstarter?
We could start selling tickets tomorrow, like any other event, but we wanted to launch this project with a little more gusto. We want to be all in for this one. Our Kickstarter will raise funds for the thematic elements of the party: games, musicians, design, and event planning staff time. Our supporters on Kickstarter will get tickets before we open up sales to the general public on June 4th.
What arts organizations are involved?
We're excited to feature the following organizations who are making Boston a better place to be a young artist or art fan:
- Boston Ballet (Young Partners)
- Handel and Haydn Society (H2)
- Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (Young Patrons)
- Museum of Fine Arts (Museum Council)
- Huntington Theatre (35 Below)
What about my favorite arts organization?
If you think there's another arts organization that's reaching out to young professionals in Boston, then let us know in the comments when you donate. To make sure your favorite organization gets featured, take a look at our reward levels and claim a spot on the host committee or dedicate a game to them.
What kind of games and activities are you going to have?
We don't want to give away all of the surprises yet. You can count on some fun, straight-forward things like croquet or ring toss...but we've got some other secrets up our sleeves, too. Based on our recent obsession with helping other causes through our Punch Bowl Fund and organizing chamber music salons...you can take some solid guesses.
What are the rewards?
- SALON CONCERT: Live music, food, and drink...the essentials in life. Opus Affair organize 4-8 of these concerts per year. Everyone loves a house party with a string quartet, right?
- A-LIST: Early access to ticket sales or limited edition discounts, give-aways, or other offers that come through Opus Affair. Guaranteed invitation to several A-list-only salon concerts and other private events. In short...there is no fear of missing out on anything. If Opus Affair is involved, you'll be in the know.
- THE BIG PARTY TICKETS: Tickets to The Big Party go on sale to the general public on June 4th, but donors to our Kickstarter campaign can get tickets before everyone else. Donate at the $75 level or higher and you can get tickets to the main event. Admission includes food, drink, games, music, etc.
- JOIN THE HOST COMMITTEE: Join the elite cadre of party aficionados who will help craft the details of the event. You'll know everything there is to know about the party—and have a voice in shaping it.
- DEDICATE A GAME/ACTIVITY STATION: We'll have game and activity stations spread all around Eastern Standard during The Big Party. You can have one dedicated to your company or your favorite organization (like Acme Widget Croquet Course or The Littlest Ballet Company Prize Wheel). You can determine the game itself or seek the aide of our trained professionals.
And most importantly, you all get the warm-fuzzy feeling of knowing you're supporting the continued growth of Opus Affair in our effort to connect fantastic arts happenings throughout the city.
For other sponsorship opportunities not included in the above rewards, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
What's Opus Affair?
Have you really read this far without knowing what Opus Affair is? Impressive. We're a community of young professionals interested in the arts in Boston, composed of artists of all sorts, behind-the-scenes arts pros, and art fans. We throw cocktail parties, raise money for arts organizations, connect artists with other artists and art fans, produce concerts, and do everything we can to keep Boston vibrant for art fans in their 20s and 30s. All of that, plus we're a 501(c)3 non-profit. Read all about us at www.opusaffair.org.
Why Eastern Standard?
We couldn't imagine a better partner for this event than Eastern Standard Kitchen and Drinks. Not only is ES the birthplace of Opus Affair, but they approach their craft cocktails with the same balance of historical reverence and contemporary creativity that many of us apply to music, dance, theater, and visual arts. It also doesn't hurt that many of their staff have secret lives as musicians, artists, and arts supporters. And did I mention they know how to throw a killer theme party? If you don't already know them, learn more here: www.easternstandardboston.com (then get up from your computer and go there for a drink).

Nose: Lemon Sherbet, fresh and zingy peat, and just a little hint of Raisin, provided by the superb Sherry butt from which this bottle was drawn.
Palate: Textbook Caol Ila, but with a strong backbone provided by the Sherry cask. Much akin to the distillers' edition, but at full and unadulterated cask strength. Sterling stuff. Huge Cinder-Toffee sweetness creeps in gently, but doesn't overpower.
Finish: The peat gives way somewhat to a butterscotch, salted caramel flavour which persists beautifully, interweaving itself with the smokiness to provide one of the best Caol Ilas we've tried in ages.
Overall: An absolute belter of a bottle, this one, and no surprise that the queue for the bottles took a full hour from start to finish, despite the remoteness of the location.

Muffy E. A. Siegel
935 Anderson Hall
Phone: 215-204-5147
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Muffy E. A. Siegel was educated at Swarthmore College, the University of St. Petersburg in Russia, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where she received a Ph.D. in theoretical linguistics in 1976. She taught at San Diego State University before joining the Temple faculty in 1977. Once at Temple, she helped to create, and then for ten years directed, the inter-collegial Temple Program in Linguistics. In 1998, she organized the Philadelphia Semantics Society, a regional faculty research group. Siegel has also lectured on semantics at the University of Pennsylvania and Haverford College and taught a course in linguistic stylistics at Swarthmore College.
Siegel's main research interests involve the interfaces among syntax, semantics, discourse and pragmatics. She presented the first complete formal treatment of the syntax/semantics of adjectives in her book Capturing the Adjective (Academic Press) and has continued to work on other problems of theoretical interest in journal articles on such topics as gapping, modal scope, unusual pro-forms, and discourse particles. Her article on the formal semantics of the teen slang word "like" ("Like: The Discourse Particle and Semantics," Journal of Semantics 19.1) attracted national and international media attention in 2002. Siegel has also published articles on teaching writing, linguistic stylistics, and child acquisition of morphology, as well as some poetry, and co-edited a book on writing in different professions, Writing Talks (Boynton-Cook). Her most recent publications are on implications of semantic theory for psychiatrists ("Semantic Theory and Teen Language," JAACAP 53.6, 2014), college students' use of dictionaries ("What Do You Do with a Dictionary?" Dictionaries 28, 2007), apparently illocutionary conditionals ("Biscuit Conditionals," Linguistics and Philosophy 29.2, 2006), and
the role of conversational maxims in the interpretation of courtroom evidence ("Finding Conversational Facts," The International Journal of Speech, Language and the Law 12.2, 2005). She is currently working on the semantics/pragmatics of inaccessible place adverbials such as "on some other planet."

DJI NAZA GPS Upgrade Module for the DJI Naza Flight Controller
I just wanted to let DJI NAZA owner know that DJI is coming out with a GPS MODULE for the NAZA FC I just preoder on from
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221032039062...84.m1497.l2649 other shop also are selling them also. I don't know about anyone eles but I am so glad because what DJI has created with the NAZA FC is pretty awesome and now we/NAZA owners will be able to enjoy all the benefits of the GPS features. Thanks for your time and happy flying |
Jul 20, 2012, 09:47 PM | ||
Follow the instructions on the latest Naza manual (from DJIs website). Make sure the arrow on the GPS faces forwards (the side with the cable is the front). Follow the steps to setup a 3 position switch for GPS/ATTI/MAN (will depend on your radio), calibrate the compass. If the copter wont fly in a straight line with GPS or wants to 'toilet bowl' when hovering with GPS rotate your GPS in the opposite direction to compensate. For RTH, progarm a switch to allow manual RTH setting then bind your RX in failsafe mode with the RTH switch selected. Your RX should take that switch setting as its failsafe setting (will depend on your RC system). Use the Naza assistant to confirm failsafe works with the radio switched off. For more detailed information go to the "Naza GPS Owners" thread at http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1666903 |

Breath, Roots and Core: An Ashtanga Immersion with Maty Ezraty
Yoga is an art that can be cultivated with practice, inspiration, and dedication. Taking time to go on retreat gives us a rare opportunity to see our practice with new eyes and open to what is possible. Purple valley is the perfect environment and retreat center for undertaking this purpose.
In this 2 week Intensive we will move deeper into the heart of Ashtanga yoga. Our mornings will begin with one- on- one Mysore practice. The afternoon will be dedicated to a 3 hour workshop that will support and inform our Mysore practice. In the afternoons, we will systematically cover the major groups of poses, sun salutations, standing poses, Back Bends, forward Bends, twists, Inversions and arm balances. As we work to clarify the action of each asana group we will learn to adapt them to our particular needs and conditions.
In both Mysore classes and workshops, we will explore the meaning of Vinyasa as well as develop the supporting concepts of Breath, Roots and Core. We will use these concepts to keep us grounded in Yogic Philosophy during our practice. Vinyasa means gradual, step-by-step approach to learning and practice. Breath is the most important unifying focal point. With Breath we unite the body, mind and Spirit. Roots refers to seeking the cause and origin of our work. Core is used to point us inwards. When we are able to maintain this focus, we are less likely to injure ourselves and we can progress more efficiently to the true goal of Yoga.
This is an invitation to join Purple Valley and Maty Ezraty for a two week intensive that will take your practice further and be a memorable time spent doing yoga in India.
The program:
Morning Mysore Practice: One on One
Our mornings will be dedicated to Myore practice and will emphasize individual one-on-one instruction in the Ashtanga method.

Launches mobile-optimized site and series of live events with enhanced QR codes.
Timberland is striding into mobile in a big way, with a mobile-optimized website that went live in late August and a series of live events featuring enhanced product information via QR codes kicking off on October 19.
"We've been hearing about the emergence of mobile for some time. Smartphones obviously changed everything quite dramatically and we felt that getting a mobile-optimized site was the next logical step," says Heather Frost, North American commerce manager for Timberland. She adds that the company already has seen positive results in sales since the mobile site went live.
The mobile optimization project was handled by Branding Brand, one of Google's two Commerce Search resellers announced on Wednesday. Says Chris Mason, Branding Brand co-founder, "If you haven't tried it yet, or your experience was bad, you might not realize, but mobile commerce is taking off. There are millions of dollars flowing through mobile."
In fact, Google expects to see $2.5 billion in mobile ad revenue this year, while Forrester expects a compounded annual growth rate of 39 percent from 2011 to 2016 for mobile commerce.
The Timberland "Sundance Film Festival Style Night Out" events pair winter boots from the Timberland Fall 2011 collection with tips from industry style experts. Through a partnership with Lucky magazine, all guests attending Timberland Style Night Out events will leave with a copy of the Lucky and Timberland "A Stylish Season" trend booklet, featuring QR codes linking to Quick Click Custom Videos about style.
Frost says, "We have started using QR codes more frequently over the past year primarily in emails, print and in our Specialty Stores. We know consumers increasingly use their mobile phones while consuming other media and that the adoption of QR codes continues. We want to leverage QR codes to deepen the brand experience from print through other digital content for consumers who want more information about the Timberland brand and our products."

Indiana 61
(12-17, 3-13 Big Ten)
(2) Ohio State 82
(27-2, 14-2 Big Ten)
Coverage: CBS
4:00 PM ET, February 27, 2011
Value City Arena, Columbus, Ohio
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A lot of things were going Indiana's way before a native son did in the Hoosiers.
Deshaun Thomas, last year's Indiana Mr. Basketball, came out of a slump with 22 points to lead Ohio State (No. 3 ESPN/USA Today, No. 2 AP) past Indiana 82-61 on Sunday. Thomas scored all the points during a 14-3 first-half run that spanned 3:36 and turned the game into a rout. He had managed just 13 points in his last seven games."After I hit my first two 3s, I felt kind of warm," said Thomas, a 6-foot-6 freshman who's prepared to pump up shots the minute he jumps out of bed. "I felt kind of comfortable."Thomas, who Indiana coach Tom Crean had tried to recruit after he had verbally committed to Ohio State, was the story for the Buckeyes in the first half. He gave them a lift after starters Jared Sullinger, David Lighty and Dallas Lauderdale got in early foul trouble."Deshaun came in and gave us a tremendous boost," Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. "He hit a couple of shots and I told him during a timeout that I liked him making shots but I thought he was really playing hard on defense as well. That was a big focus coming into this game."Thomas finished his career at Fort Wayne's Bishop Luers High School with 3,018 points, third most among all Indiana schoolboys behind Damon Bailey and Marion Pierce.Indiana, which hasn't beaten a Top 25 team on the road in more than nine years, led 8-7 after Derek Elston scissored through the lane for a layup at the 16:35 mark, but didn't score again for almost 8 minutes until Elston scored again on a short jumper.Then Thomas took over, hitting two foul shots and swishing back-to-back 3-pointers. He took a pass from Lauderdale for another bucket inside, then spun in a reverse layup and ended the run with another reverse move off glass."He was hitting open shots. Give credit to him," Crean said. "He made big plays. He's one of the all-time leading scorers in the history of Indiana, so he can score. And today it was his day and we didn't do a good enough job of guarding him."The Buckeyes led 38-23 at the half, with Thomas totaling 16 points on 6-of-7 shooting from the field, his only miss coming on a shot behind the arc.Indiana never seriously threatened again.Even though Thomas has seen only sparse playing time the past few weeks, his teammates know he can light it up. He's been known to string together 3s when he gets "warm.""We see it every day in practice," said David Lighty, who had 11 points for the Buckeyes (27-2, 14-2 Big Ten). "Once he gets it going, there's really no way to stop him -- just try to keep it out of his hands."Thomas speaks of his scoring ability as if it's a power that overtakes him."It's a God-given gift," he said. "I just did what I had to do."William Buford added 15 points and Jon Diebler had 11 for the Buckeyes, who could ascend to No. 1 next week after top-ranked Duke lost at Virginia Tech on Saturday night. The defeat was Indiana's sixth in a row to Ohio State.Matta didn't shy away from talk about being No. 1."Honestly, it's just something that comes along with it," he said. "The one thing I've always said -- I think I said it in October when you guys asked me about our ranking -- is that we really want to be there in the end."Sullinger, leading Ohio State in scoring (17.8) and rebounding (9.9), was limited to five points and seven rebounds in just 13 minutes.The victory helped Ohio State maintain a one-game lead in the Big Ten with two games remaining -- at Penn State on Tuesday night and home against Wisconsin on Sunday. It was Wisconsin that hung the first loss on the Buckeyes on Feb. 12 in Madison.Verdell Jones III had 14 points for the Hoosiers (12-17, 3-13), who have lost six in a row and remain the only Big Ten team without a road win this season (0-10). They were playing consecutive games against top-10 teams for the first time since 2004 after losing to No. 8 Purdue on Wednesday night, 72-61.Crean's temper flared when Matta spoke to the officials at the end of the half. Crean made sure he also joined the conversation."I don't do it and I don't think coaches should get a free conference with the officials at halftime," he said. "That's happened to us, nothing was done about it, and I wasn't going to stand back and not be a part of that. Whether it's gamesmanship, whatever it is, it's the way that it is. The half is over. The officials are supposed to be leaving the floor, as are the teams, and that didn't happen."Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press
