Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
Conflicting Stories "That wife of mine is a liar," said the angry husband to a sympathetic pal seated next to him in the bar. "How do you know?" the friend asked. "She didn't come home last night, and when I asked her where she'd been, she said she'd spent the night with her sister, Shirley." "So?" the friend replied. "So, she's a liar. I spent the night with her sister Shirley!"
Concerned Blonde As a trucker stops for a red light, a blonde catches up. She jumps out of her car, runs up to his truck and knocks on the door. The trucker lowers the window, and she says: "Hi, my name is Heather and you are losing some of your load." The trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street. When the truck stops for another red light, the girl catches up again. She jumps out of her car, runs up and knocks on the door. Again, the trucker lowers the window. As if they've never spoken, the blonde says brightly: "Hi my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!" Shaking his head, the trucker ignores her again and continues down the street. At the third red light, the same thing happens again. All out of breath, the blonde gets out of her car, runs up, knocks on the truck door. The trucker lowers the window. Again she says: "Hi, my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!" When the light turns green the trucker revs up and races to the next light. When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of the truck, and runs back to the blonde. He knocks on her window, and as she lowers it, he says "Hi, my name is Kevin, it's winter and I'm driving the SALT TRUCK!"
Irish Sausage Seamus and Murphy fancied a pint or two but didn't have a lot of money between them. In fact, they could only raise the staggering sum of two dollars. "Hang on, I have an idea," Murphy said. He went next door to the butcher's shop and came out with one large sausage. "Are you crazy?" Seamus asked. "Now we don't have any money at all!" "Don't worry," Murphy replied. "Just follow me." He went into the pub where he immediately ordered two pints of Guinness and two glasses of Jameson. "Now you've lost it," Seamus said. "Do you know how much trouble we will be in? We haven't got any money!" Murphy replied, with a smile. "Don't worry," he said. "I have a plan." They downed their drinks. Murphy said: "OK, I'll stick the sausage through my zipper and you go on your knees and put it in your mouth." The barman noticed them, went berserk, and threw them out. They continued this, pub after pub, getting more and more drunk, all for free. At the 10th pub, Seamus said, "Murphy - I don't think I can do any more of this. I'm drunk and me knees are killing me!" "How do you think I feel?" Murphy replied. "I'm so drunk I can't even remember which pub I lost the sausage in."
Self Esteem Issues A man walked into a therapist's office looking very depressed: "Doc, you need to help me. I can't go on like this." "What's the problem?" the doctor inquired. "Well, I'm 35 years old and I still have no luck with the ladies. No matter how hard I try, I just seem to scare them away." "My friend, this is not a serious problem. You just need to work on your self-esteem. Each morning, I want you to get up and run to the bathroom mirror. Tell yourself that you are a good person, a fun person and an attractive person. But, say it with real conviction. Within a week you'll have women buzzing all around you." The man seemed content with this advice and walked out of the office a bit excited. Three weeks later he returned with the same downtrodden expression on his face. "Did my advice not work?" asked the doctor. "Oh, it worked. For the past several weeks I've enjoyed some of the best moments in my life with the most fabulous-looking women." "So, what's your problem?" "I don't have a problem," the man replied: "My wife does."
Three Roses A woman goes to her doctor and says she wants an operation because her outer labia are much too large. She asks the doctor to keep the operation a secret as she's embarrassed and doesn't want anyone to find out. The doctor agrees. She wakes up from her operation and finds three roses carefully placed beside her bed. Outraged, she immediately calls in the doctor and says: "I thought I asked you not to tell anyone about my operation!" "Don't worry," he says: "I didn't tell anybody. The first rose is from me. I felt bad because you went through this all by yourself. The second one is from the nurse. She assisted me with the operation, and she had the operation done herself." "Who is the third rose from?" she asks. "Oh," says the doctor: "that rose is from the guy upstairs in the burn unit. He wanted to thank you for his new ears!"
Secret Drawer A young couple gets married, and the groom asks his bride if he can have a dresser drawer of his own that she will never open. The bride agrees. After 30 years of marriage, she notices that his drawer has been left open. She peeks inside and sees three golf balls and $1,000. She confronts her husband and asks for an explanation. He explains: "Every time I was unfaithful to you, I put a golf ball in the drawer." She figures three times in 30 years isn't bad and asks: "But what about the $1,000?" "Oh, that..." he replied: "Whenever I got a dozen golf balls, I sold them."
Ironing Accident A blonde walks into a doctor's office with burns on both of her ears. The doctor asks her what happened. "Well..." she begins, "I was ironing my work suit when the phone rang and I mistakenly picked up the iron instead of the phone." "Well that explains one ear," the doctor said, "but what about the other?" "The bastard called again!"

Lyons looks to reward Cards' faith in rookie
Lefty, not Wacha, sticks in rotation, will oppose Fish veteran Nolasco
Jake Westbrook's return from the disabled list caused a problem. But for the Cardinals, it was a good one to have. They needed to clear room for Westbrook by pulling a starter from one of the best rotations in baseball. The most likely candidates were rookies Tyler Lyons and Michael Wacha.
And the latter became the odd man out as the 21-year-old right-hander was sent back to Triple-A Memphis to prepare for what is sure to be a more permanent stint in the Majors down the road, leaving Lyons as the starter for Sunday's series finale with the Marlins.
"It gives me some confidence that they think I can continue to give them a chance to win," Lyons said. "That's what I'm going to continue trying to do."
While not as highly touted a prospect as Wacha, Lyons is 2-2 with a 3.51 ERA through four starts, and the 25-year-old is the only lefty in the Cardinals' rotation. He has surrendered 20 hits, walked five and struck out 14 in 25 2/3 innings.
"It's gone by fast. I'm just trying to make the most of it and enjoy it," Lyons said of his first year in the Major Leagues. "It's something you work towards for a long time. It's been great. I am always trying to learn as much as I possibly can while I am here."
Lyons will have to contend with a resurgent Juan Pierre, whose leadoff triple Saturday extended his hitting streak to a season-best 11 games and marked his 17th career hit streak of 11 or more games. Through the first 10 games of the streak, Pierre was batting .381 (16-for-42) with eight runs scored and three extra-base hits. Saturday's triple was his fourth during the streak.
"It's just the work, man," Pierre said. "Just the same thing with [hitting coach] Tino [Martinez] every day in the cage, going out early for early hitting. It's a matter of just being relaxed and finding holes. Sometimes the game is like that."
The hitting streak has raised Pierre's average from .218 to .250, and many of Pierre's runs have been critical scores for a Marlins club with the worst record in the Majors. He has scored the fourth run in each of Miami's 5-4 wins during this homestand.
"Some close games, like those one-run games, I know if I can get on, I'm going to make a difference in those kinds of games," Pierre said. "And having not been able to do that the first two months of the year, it gets frustrating. Unfortunately, I've been in this situation before throughout my career, so I knew not to panic and just continue to do the work."
Marlins: Nolasco looking to rebound vs. Cardinals
Ricky Nolasco's streak of four straight quality starts ended Monday, when he surrendered four runs on 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings of the Marlins' 6-1 loss to the Brewers.
Nolasco had lowered his ERA from 4.39 to 3.61 during the stretch, but his misstep against Milwaukee pushed him back to 3.80.
Nolasco, who will be looking to get back on track against the Cardinals on Sunday, is 3-7 on the season and is 1-4 with a 4.59 ERA over his career against St. Louis.
Cardinals: Carpenter expected back in lineup
After a much-deserved day off, Matt Carpenter is expected back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale.
In his second season as a full-time starter, the Cardinals second baseman is leading the National League with 27 multi-hit games this season and is second on the team in batting average at .324.
"It's a combination of playing every day and having another year of experience under your belt," Carpenter said. "That experience helps you make adjustments you need, but getting the opportunity to play every day is definitely a big part of it."
Worth noting
• Marlins catcher Miguel Olivo left the team after batting practice Friday and is now on the restricted list. Jordan Brown was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans to fill the roster spot. Olivo has been upset by a lack of playing time.
• Miami first baseman Logan Morrison was left out of the lineup for the third straight game on Saturday. He experienced back tightness during batting practice Friday.
• Chris Coghlan is traveling to Dallas on Sunday to meet with a specialist Monday regarding the specifics of his calf pain. An MRI exam on Monday revealed a back strain.
• While his 20-game hit streak came to an end Wednesday, David Freese is still finding success at the plate. Freese followed up his RBI double on Friday with a 3-for-4 performance, including a solo blast, on Saturday.

Indians target Wild Card spot in finale vs. Kansas City
Tribe calls on rookie Salazar against Royals veteran Chen at Kauffman
The Indians may not hold one of the two American League Wild Card spots at the moment, the formula is simple for them to get there: Beat the Royals in Kansas City on Wednesday.
With the Rays and Rangers -- the two teams Cleveland trails by a half-game in the Wild Card race -- squaring off in Tampa Bay, the Indians will pass the loser in the standings with a win against the Royals.
But don't expect the Royals to go down without a fight. Their Wild Card deficit sits at 3 1/2 games, but their next four games are against teams they're chasing: the finale against Cleveland and a three-game weekend series against Texas. Then, in the season's final week, they play seven games against the bottom-dwelling White Sox and Mariners.
On Wednesday, Kansas City sends left-hander Bruce Chen (7-3, 3.11) to the hill for his 13th start of the season. Chen faced Detroit on Friday and gave up five earned runs on seven hits in just 4 1/3 innings.
Opposite Chen will be Indians right-hander Danny Salazar (1-2, 2.66 ERA) coming off a similarly short, yet far more successful, outing. Salazar worked 3 2/3 scoreless frames against the White Sox, striking out nine and lowering his ERA to 1.57 over his last five starts.
He'll be backed by shortstop Mike Aviles, a Royals Draft pick who is happy to see his former teammates experiencing some success.
"I think it's awesome," Aviles said. "I think it's great to see they've changed everything around. They've got some good pitching. They've always had a good team, but it always felt like they were a couple pitchers away."
Indians: Masterson on the mend
Right-hander Justin Masterson, who has been out since Sept. 2 with a strained left oblique, will long toss Wednesday.
"I've been very encouraged. We've been on a great path," Masterson said. "They said [I'll throw off a mound] Friday, but we may try to get that moved up."
In order to throw again sooner than Friday, the team's medical staff will have to sign off, manager Terry Francona said.
Royals: KC working with pinch-hitters
The Royals are 12-for-60 (.200) as pinch-hitters this season with just seven RBIs, and manager Ned Yost has a theory as to why.
"Because their whole focus is on the result. They don't get a hit and it crushes them," Yost said. "But the whole focus has got to be on the process. You've got to be ready to hit and have a good at-bat, because pinch-hitting, there's no other job like it in the world.
"You can't call time out and do it again. You've got one shot at being successful, and in this sport, it's the hardest job to do."
Worth noting
• Jason Giambi has six hits in 16 career at-bats (.375) against Chen, four of them homer, and four walks.
• The Indians are just 36-51 this season against teams with winning records.

5 Ways to Save on School Supplies
Tweet |
See that picture above? That's me holding up a sales reciept from Staples last August. What would have cost $80 only cost $8 after sales, coupons and rebates. After posting that picture on Facebook, I had a ton of questions. Really, it's not that hard to save on school supplies. In fact, it is so easy, that I stock up for the entire year not only for my kids but our business as well.
5 Ways to Save on School Supplies
1. Think Outside the Box: Be sure to keep a close eye on stores like Staples, Office Depot and Office Max for killer school supply deals. This is the time of year for rock bottom prices! These stores offer rewards programs (think CVS & Walgreens) too which make the deals even better. Start researching store policies now and get ready to deal.
2. Use Rewards: Just like I stated above, many stores offer various rewards programs. You'll see many items 'free after RR's or ECB's' (Walgreens Register Rewards & CVS Easy Care Bucks) but again, you'll also see deals for items that are free after Staples Rewards too. Also, you can take your empty ink cartridges to Staples and earn $2 in Staples Rewards for each one. Yet another great way to save! The majority of my deals last year were purchased at Staples including backpacks that were free after Staples Rewards
3. Coupons: Yes, there are coupons for school supplies! For store coupons, be sure to keep an eye out on Target.com or in the CVS circular or Walgreens coupon booklet at the front of the store. Manufacturers will also be putting coupons out on their websites and on facebook as well so stay tuned and we'll keep you updated!
4. Stock Up: August and September are the best times of the year to load up on school and office supplies. This means, you need to stock up now for the rest of the year. If your kids are like mine, most of their supplies had to be replaced about midway through the school year so be sure to buy extras or you'll be paying full price later on down the road.
5. Remember the Office: Now is also the time to stock up on office supplies, you know, all those pens your employees keep taking home with them. Yep, it's time to restock the supply! Even if you only have a home office, restock your pens and paper now too and you'll save a bundle.
This is my favorite time of year for deals (next to Christmas) this is because you'll find tons of kids clothing deals, lunch and snack food deals as well as those hot school supply deals. I always to do a massive restock this time of year so get ready, we'll be posting these hotties!
Did I just use the word 'hotties?' Yes. Yes, I did.

Dow, S&P 500 end at record for 2nd day despite tepid jobs data
All but three of the 10 S&P 500 sectors ended higher, led by gains in the consumer discretionary index, up 0.7 percent.
"The employment number clearly was a surprise on the downside," said Eric Kuby, chief investment officer at North Star Investment Management Corp in Chicago.
Among the biggest drags on both the S&P 500 and the Dow was Chevron, the second-largest U.S. oil company. Its shares fell 1.2 percent to $124.95. The company posted a steeper-than-expected 26 percent drop in quarterly profit.
"This may be a little bit of traders not wanting to go into the weekend short," said Fred Dickson, chief market strategist at D.A. Davidson & Co in Lake Oswego, Ore.

Good entry level wheelset?

Good entry level wheelset?Hello,
Just wondering if there was a stand out brand know for its best bang for buck factor when it comes to entry level wheelsets? I am after something lighter and better than what usually comes equipped on entry level road bikes. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Re: Good entry level wheelset?I bought a pair of prolite meranos for my first bike, so happy with them that I bought a pair of braccianos for my 2nd bike plenty of reviews/suggestions on here
Re: Good entry level wheelset?I purchased 2 x sets of Pro-Lite comos - one for each road bike and they are fantastic, smooth and stay true. I'm a rather well-proportioned bloke and they have had no trouble with staying true, etc.
For the $150 per set that P-L charge (plus $25 for skewers), they are fantastic value. The next step up is the Merano and I may try a pair of them for my 'better' bike soon. cheers
Re: Good entry level wheelset?I have to ask because I am not sure I have got this straight...You want a 'better' entry level wheelset to replace the entry level wheelset you already have?
Re: Good entry level wheelset?no, i want an entry level wheel set for the entry level bike i am building that are better than the wheels that come with entry level bikes that try to keep costs down by providing low quality wheelset and tiagra cassettes and chains.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, will check them out
Re: Good entry level wheelset?ok. got it. Keep a eye out in the marketplace. People are always upgrading, so you might find a better than entry level set at bargain prices.
Re: Good entry level wheelset?Campagnolo Khamsin would be my choice.
Re: Good entry level wheelset?
Pro-Lite Como, or if you can afford the extra go for the Bracciano. You'll be happy either way. Our Website is: http://www.pro-liteoz.com Find us on Facebook by searching for "Pro-Lite Australia"
Re: Good entry level wheelset?I upgraded my original Alex 22 wheels to fulcrum 5 with conti gp. I couldn't believe how much better the bike went. Don't get me wrong I'm sure I didn't add 5km/hr to average speed def made it easier to keep I'm with group ride. Also when rolling down any kind of slopes the bike just kept rolling.
And the other thing I noticed since I ride along the beach usually into a S/E wind it felt like if I stopped peddling with the old wheels the bike would almost stop but with the fulcrums it seemed to cut through the wind with much more continued momentum. I'm a novice in the grand scheme of the road biking wise but was absolutely stoked with the upgrade. Similar brands and weights will prob have the same advantage over the low range stock hoops. TBH I'm Saving up for some fulcrum 1's or 3', zondas or braccinos and hopefully that will be end of the upgrading done Hahahahaha as if
Re: Good entry level wheelset?These Shimano 6700 Ultegra tubeless compatible wheels are good value at $315 (free shipping) from ProBikeKit at the moment. A bit heavier than the Braccianos but if you run them tubeless, then you'll be close to the same weight.
Re: Good entry level wheelset?Shimano RS-20's aren't a bad starting point.
Re: Good entry level wheelset?
depending on the weight. if you're over 80kgs, no. And if you are under 80kgs, buy something better anyway.
Re: Good entry level wheelset?You'll find all top line jobs don't have a max weight limit, well possibly over 150 kgs may be an issue, but I bought wheels off a bloke who was over 110kg, they were fine.
Even after a year of riding nearly every day, they only needed a basic service to re-tighten the spokes, but no dramas at all. Proudly "a hater of academics with helmet cams"
Re: Good entry level wheelset?
What to get if you're under 80 KGS that will make a significant difference, I have the Shimano R500's currently. Don't want to spend over $200.00 for the set.
Re: Good entry level wheelset?
well you could try some of the following: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/fulcrum-racing- ... lset-2013/ http://www.cellbikes.com.au/Easton-EA50 ... gory=70591 and you may be able to find some shimano RS20s or RS30s - here you go - RS20s (RS21 actually) http://www.cyclingexpress.com/cycle/com ... elset.aspx i'd recommend the pro-lite como - they are heavier, but the hub spins very well.
Re: Good entry level wheelset?
I take its a simple job to attach the cassette to the rear wheel?
Re: Good entry level wheelset?^^^ with the correct tools it couldn't be easier
Re: Good entry level wheelset?
Any cheap complete toolset that I could buy, that includes all these and other cycling tools. I'am sick of buying individual tools everytime I need something.
Re: Good entry level wheelset?If it'd help you, we can supply any model wheelset that we sell with a shimano ultegra 6700 cassette pre-installed.
If you want some other cassette, or can get one cheaper than we sell them for you are also welcome to purchase your own cassette and send to me (or ship to us direct from your supplier) and we'll install it prior to sending your wheels off at no extra cost.

Re: Good entry level wheelset?
Hmmmm, wasn't aware they had a weight limit, rode mine at just over 100Kg without any issues at all.
Re: Good entry level wheelset?
have RS10s in a box. gave up after 2 broken spokes in 5000kms (edit: 80-odd kgs)
Re: Good entry level wheelset?I read with some WTH on all these low spoke wheels and weight problems. I have 16/20 spoke WHR-500 wheels and weigh 104-110Kgs and these wheels still run true after 3yrs, so you got me stuffed why, people have so much trouble keeping them true?
Foo I don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.
Goal 6000km
Re: Good entry level wheelset?
In my case, I ride my bike like I stole it.
Re: Good entry level wheelset?I've done 20,000km on Mavic Aksium wheelset. Racing and training. Never broke a spoke and I'm 95kg. I've Just bought another set so I can change between commuting and racing tyres without removing tyres.
You can get them at Cell Bikes for $220.00 per set.

Would have been fun to waste some time on watching if only I could understand more then a couple of the words he said.
Phoronix: Lessons For Developers In Porting Games To Linux
A programmer from The Farm 51, the game studio responsible for Painkiller: Hell and Damnation and other games, has shared their experiences in porting games to Linux. It's a technical presentation of interest to both game developers and Linux enthusiasts...
Would have been fun to waste some time on watching if only I could understand more then a couple of the words he said.
One can argue with some points in the slides:
"When in doubt - use Ubuntu". It would be better to take Debian as a base, rather than Ubuntu. Betting on Ubuntu can become a problem long term considering current developments with Mir and co.
"When in doubt - do whatever Valve does". Not really, since Valve focuses on their DRMed approach, and uses their Steam runtime for that. Those who aim for DRM free method won't find this the good option. So for DRM free games the best approach is bundling libs. And in general, promoting dependency on Steam runtime sounds bad, since it means developers won't make an effort to release their games without Steam and DRM free. So if you are a developer - no Steam please, or if you want to distribute with Steam - give an option to buy and play the game without it.
Last edited by shmerl; 06-21-2013 at 02:01 PM.
Considering the use of SDL is adviced (which in turn abstracts the display server), Mir becomes irrelevant.
And about the DRM, AFAIK you need to explicitly introduce them to your game, if not shipping with Steam. And if shipping with Steam, there's no need to "look at Valve", since you are already making it compliant, so it obviously refers to the case where your game ships alone.
mrugiero: What I mean is that I don't want any games with DRM. And even if developers aren't interested in DRM, but using Steam out of convenience, they are not allowing DRM free option, if they rely on a hard dependency on Steam runtime. So I'd say - no dependency on Steam runtime please. And promoting it is bad. Unless this runtime can be fully open source and distributed outside Steam and DRM free.
Last edited by shmerl; 06-21-2013 at 02:59 PM.
I didn't really look in depth, but I didn't see anything in the repo that is closed source, but just frozen binaries of open (and pretty common) projects, for example GNU-binutils and SDL. I think this runtime is just the runtime Steam uses, not Steam's proprietary API. If so, then you can have a DRM free game targeting them, just without having to open source your game (which IMO is up to the dev to decide, not us) and without having to either recompile for every distro/version or add extra bloat when other games need the same version of the libraries.
EDIT: Also, what is recommended in the slides (I don't know the videos, I prefer the written version) isn't using Steam, but just the same version of the libraries, that's why there is a sample script to check if it's already installed and to install those libraries if it isn't.
If this runtime is fully open source, has no DRM and can be installed without being Steam user - then I'm OK with developers using it (regardless if their games are open source or closed source ones), since it means they don't push DRM on their users. But in general I think it's better not to single out Steam is a preferred runtime. Simply because Steam isn't reliable in DRM free aspect so far.
I'd like to clear out some stuff about this news.
First of all the title is quite misleading - this presentation ain't a lesson, its just tech talk for other devs from the game industry. It ain't walk in the park so knowing polish won't be enough
Secondly Leszek won't tell how to port unreal engine powered games to linux because he is bound by Epic's NDA. So the talk is quite about everything out there that showing off won't violate the NDA.
About Ubuntu - I assure all of you - Leszek ain't the ubuntu guy, he's more of a debian power user, but there's quite a lot of stuff thats still not stable enough for debian that can be done faster or works out of box on Ubuntu. And getting it to work on other distros isn't worth the time spent on it at the moment. Its a race about getting linux attention through steam and ubuntu ASAP, not full compatibility for every geek out there. And thats what the talk is about.

"Not as good as some of the others in the series"
I started the Iron Druid Chronicles some time ago and liked the books, but it was the narrator that I really liked. And now someone's gone and had him reading Shakespeare or something for the last six months... what happened? He used to sound like a guy, telling me his story (which was a big part of the attraction), and now he sounds like a Narrator, With Extra N, all deep, abnormal voice and over-pronunciation like I'm listening to Theatre.
Otherwise, the book was pretty good... it continues the saga into the beginnings of Ragnarok. I especially enjoyed the part where Granuaile is able to shift and Oberon is laughing at her. *I* was laughing so hard I nearly wet myself, and had to excuse myself from the office to outside.
I just wish the ending was a little more climactic... maybe it's because I'm listening, not reading, but the endings always seem so rushed. Overall, it was pretty good, though I liked some of the previous books better.
"Harry Potter + Twilight For Adults"
This book seemed a bit slow getting started, but once it did, it took off. I love the alchemical references, the intricate and believable characters, the historical settings... My only complaint is that the main character, Diana, seemed to have times when she was believable and other times when she'd seem to have a wild mood swing and be someone else entirely. I'm not sure if this is something that plays out in the story eventually and it's deliberate, or it's because the author didn't have a good feel of how her main character would act in a certain situation. Overall, though, I highly highly recommend this book. It's incredible, and the narrator was absolutely perfect for this book (seriously, her 'voices' are amazing, and her pronunciation mostly spot-on). I look forward to the other 2 books in the series by this author and this narrator.
"Great story, terrible narration"
The story was wonderful, but the narrator is awful! All of her character 'voices' sound drunk or brain-dead, and the droning monotone of her voice is terrible. I almost gave up listening to this book just because of it - even though I was intrigued by the story. I can see buying these books and reading them, but I probably won't be purchasing another audio book with this narrator.
"Good book, excellent narrative"
Celtic gods, talking dogs, adventure... what more do you want?
The widow and meeting the witches.
I haven't listened before, but I'd definitely listen again. He sounds delectable.

Star power: Jessica wowed crowds on America's Got Talent when she was just 11.
Watch All of Jessic Sanchez's Performances From American Idol 2012
When 16-year-old Jessica Sanchez says she's been singing her whole life, she means it. At 11, the Filipino-Mexican-American appeared on America's Got Talent, where she wowed with her cover of "I Surrender." Five years later, she's getting the chance to perform in front of the world again on American Idol Season 11. Before landing on Idol, Jessica was a high school student, hoping to ease the financial burdens of her unemployed mother with her singing career.
Though we didn't see much of her before Vegas — when she sang "The Prayer" — what we've now seen of the San Diego resident makes us wonder where Idol had been hiding her. Jessica wowed the judges — and us — with her take on Jennifer Hudson's "I Love You I Do" in the Semifinals, which earned her a spot in the Top 13.
Over the last couple of months, Jessica has impressed judges and Idol voters with her vocal range and maturity. Her version of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" was one of her most popular performances, and she soon became a frontrunner for the finale. Facing off against Phillip Phillips in Top 2, we had high hopes that she'd be the first girl to take home the title since Jordin Sparks won Season 6.
Sadly, it was not meant to be. On May 23, 2012, a record-breaking 132 million votes were cast, declaring Phillip the winner of American Idol.
Jessica's runner-up status is still an amazing achievement, and we have no doubt that her talent will snag her a record deal in no time!

Leverage our experience architecting Film and TV workflows — from ingest to delivery. Our approach is to integrate your collaboration tools, asset management, shared storage, and archiving using a unified infrastructure platform.
Our solutions are based on scalable high-performance storage that is open for integration with your choice of creative tools.
Using our production-tested frameworks, we rapidly build user-friendly bespoke Apps for iOS and OSX to drive your workflow.
Factorial is proud to have developed cutting-edge software tools, high-performance storage area networking, and scalable archive solutions to power Park Road Post Production's High Frame Rate Stereoscopic pipeline.
Factorial has worked closely with Park Road over the last three years to architect an integrated software and hardware platform to manage digital cinema media throughout its lifecycle through ingest, HFR digital dailies, grading, online, and archive.
The partnership with Park Road was founded on making technology choices that empower the creative processes involved in film post-production, rather than bending creative tools to fit the limits of current technology. The result is a uniquely integrated workflow, software toolset, and storage infrastructure that is far greater than the sum of its parts.
With such a massive amount of raw source material, it was essential to give the team at Park Road applications that let them drive the workflow in an efficient and easy-to-use way. Park Road uses Factorial Apps to import RED camera data and its associated metadata, perform initial QC and validation in the field, and then track the stereo clips using an asset management system. Park Road's Mistika operators use Factorial Apps to generate templated stereo sequences for the Mistika suites, and package deliveries for handover to editorial.
Thomas Bauer, Director and Software Architect at Factorial, says that Factorial's existing frameworks for media workflows allowed them to rapidly develop a set of bespoke applications that streamlined key tasks in Park Road's post-production pipeline. "Our approach makes the development process very flexible, and allows us to be responsive to user feedback and workflow changes throughout the production."
Phil Oatley, Park Road's Head of Technology says that the tools developed by Factorial were essential in delivering such a massive digital film production within extremely tight deadlines, and breaking new ground technically.
Tim Benson, Director and Technology Evangelist at Factorial, says the key philosophy was that all systems would access media in-place to allow close collaboration across the facility, without the need to check-out data locally. "We unified multiple different systems with a single high-performance Storage Area Network fabric totaling more than 1.5 Petabytes of high-performance disk, allowing more than 70 SAN clients running a mix of OS X, Linux, and Windows work with same media at the same time."
Factorial tuned the storage, Fibre Channel fabrics, and filesystems to achieve the extreme throughputs required for realtime 3D and 48fps across multiple suites. Factorial also managed the deployment and integration of a tiered-storage solution based on StorNext Storage Manager to provide more than 2 Petabytes of near-line LTO tape archive, handling throughputs of up to 20 Terabytes per day, serving a production that ran for more than 300 days.
Phil Oatley adds that the storage challenges they faced were unprecedented in the film industry, in terms of bandwidth, capacity, and data management. "Factorial put together storage tuned to our specific requirements that outperforms anything on the market, and for a fraction of the price of off-the-shelf solutions. The choice to archive data near-line on virtualised tape proved highly scalable and easy to integrate."
Factorial is immensely grateful for the partnership that continues with Park Road, and is excited about what the future holds for this new way of making films that has been pioneered together.
ClipTouch Server is asset management in a nutshell — an easy to use, powerful App for OS X built on cutting-edge Apple technologies. It scales from a single MacBook up to a fully automated server-based workgroup deployment.
ClipTouch Server also powers Wingnut TV — the film review iPad App for directors, developed in partnership with Wingnut Films.
ClipTouch Server is currently available together with Wingnut TV and other custom Apps.
Wingnut TV brings film review to the iPad in a powerful and elegant interface. Wingnut TV has been specifically designed for the requirements of film directors.
Wingnut TV uses ClipTouch Server to curate and manage the content presented inside the App.
Watch our presentation on "Designing an iPad App for film directors" at UX Design Day Wellington 2013.
ArchiveFS is a gateway filesystem to Quantum's StorNext tape-based archive storage, and abstracts client applications from the technicalities introduced by tape operations and ensures easy and seamless integration.
ArchiveFS extends StorNext Storage Manager by offering additional features including checksumming, bridging tape operation delays and notifications for tape vaulting.
ArchiveFS volumes can be re-shared via various network filesystems. Use ArchiveFS and FTP to seamlessly connect your Grass Valley STRATUS to your StorNext environment for archiving.
ArchiveFS requires OSX 10.9 or later and StorNext 4 or StorNext 5 with Storage Manager.
We design fast, reliable and easy-to-manage cross-platform Storage Area Networks. We deploy highly-scalable solutions that can grow to match your requirements.
We tune performance for your specific application requirements — from HD video to HFR Stereo 5K digital intermediate.
We empower you to manage enormous data sets and demanding bandwidth challenges using archive technology that removes complexity from your workflow.

"There are deranged people out there, and millions upon millions of guns. So you go to McDonald's with a gun in your coat, if you can."
This simplistic explanation fails to account for the phenomenon of pro-gun sentiments increasing while rates of violent crime, including gun crime, plummet. There's much more going on here that W.W. is willing to countenance.

It's a Real Steal!®
Tuxedo Pantsuit: This polished pantsuit combines a chic, tuxedo-style jacket with slim-leg pants.
Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 2.71 out of 7 votes cast
Pant suit
This suit I purchase is not good material at all no lining in the suit also no pocket and cheap material I wouldn't recommend to buy this at all . I was going to return it but I can use the jacket to put with my skirt but i donate the pants.
Not Recommended
I was disappointed with this suit. I ordered based on the previous reviews. The material looks very cheap. Not what I expected. Returned the item for refund.
Raleigh, NC
I love the color and the tailored style, but...... I RETURNED IT! #1) I begged to defer that this as a regular misses' size. The pants and jacket both fit like I was wearing a "tall" size. The sleeves were at least 1 inch too long, and I never have that problem since I have every long arms. The pants were 2 inches too long, and not the inseam measurement that was listed. #2) Someone was over zealous ironing it. Too many iron marks on the seam lines and other places. #3) I would be OK with a knit material, but disliked this knit. Looked cheap to me. #4) Moral of the story: you might just get what you pay for at this modest cost! I'm still sad about this. I have now tried to replicate this pantsuit at some other site.
MN Cold
Runs small. A poor quality suit. I regret purchase.
A Must Have
I ordered this suit for work business dinner parties. The delivery was quick and this suit was a discussion at two events. It's comfortable, with a great fit and has the ability to be dressed up and down. I Love it!! Thank you for Metro Style!!
Baltimore, Maryland
Nice Suit!
I recently purchased this suit in blueberry and was very glad I did. It looks professional, launders well and I've received many compliments on the color and style. Just add a nice top, accessories and heels and you're out the door. A great addition to any business wardrobe. Thanks Metro Style!

This is a great looking suit. It runs small so you should order the next size up.

In A Hurry To Stop! - Technical Article - Classic Trucks Magazine
Written by on April 28, 2006 Master Power's Disc Upgrade For '65-72 Ford TrucksTrucks have always been good for haulin' stuff around for us at our every whim and are still regrettably there for us when the inevitable friend needs help moving. Having owned half a dozen classic trucks of all makes and using some of them for several out-of-state moves of my own, I can safely say that the least impressive thing about all of them has been their lackluster stock brakes. Just when you think you got everything packed in there perfectly and couldn't be any smarter, you get to the bottom of the hill and start stompin' and sweatin'.
Luckily, I have lived to tell this tale, but let's try to avoid the situation all together which is easy to do today with all the bolt-on upgrade kits available from the ever-growing aftermarket. Rabb Sabin of Orange, California, shares my pain with his '72 F100. He got in touch with the folks over at Blue Oval Truck Parts and they sorted him out with Master Power Brakes' '65-72 Ford truck power disc brake kit to replace the stock drums up front. This is a complete bolt-on kit that includes almost everything you need except brake fluid and fits on the stock parts of your truck easily. All of the following can be done in the driveway on a Saturday.
Follow along and see what it takes, and then call or click both of these companies for all your truck's needs.

Can East Meet West at Interior?
Friday - 1/25/2013, 2:00am EST
It may be that the only thing standing between Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry and the top job at the Interior Department is the Mississippi River curse!
Some say the only thing holding him back is that he was born in Rockville, Md., 53 years ago. If, instead, he hailed from Cody, Wyo. or Santa Fe, N.M., his nomination would be a no-brainer.
For the past few weeks, the buzz in Washington is that Berry, who had a top job at Interior during the Clinton administration would be named to succeed Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, himself from Colorado. Berry has gotten high marks in running the little-known (outside of Washington) Office of Personnel Management. It's core mission involves the care and feeding of federal workers and retirees. It doesn't rank near the top of places that most high-office wannabes want to be. Unless...
- A) They dislike and mistrust big government, and feel that the civil service is a giant socialist nursery that should be isolated and cut back in size. There have been a couple of OPM directors that took the job because they welcomed the challenge of wrestling the bureaucratic beast.
- B) They've spent years studying management and policies at the government-level and see the federal civil service as a giant lab or petri dish. There have been a couple of those too.
- C) They are someone with good political credentials who's been a loyal operative for and donor to the party in power. This type of office-seeker simply wants to come to D.C. with a high-ranking government job with a title. One that guarantees invitations to places with free food. The initials or mission of the agency matter little. Feds have had them too.
- D) Finally there is the true believer. Someone who didn't have to look up the definition for OPM. They think the government has the right and duty to do things for people. This type of person knows/likes federal workers. He or she has the been-there-done-that credentials and believes that better people make a better government. In other words, you are John Berry.
When he left Capitol Hill, Berry went to the Treasury Department then Interior. He eventually got what many people say is the best job in Washington: director of the National Zoo. He reportedly loved it, reorganized the place and — after he left for OPM — the staff named a lion cub after him. Associates say that when Barack Obama was elected president, Berry was offered a couple of second-tier jobs, but held out because he wanted to be the head of an agency.
OPM was the logical top job. Interior would be too, insiders say, except he is an East Coast guy and secretary of the Interior is traditionally a westerner. In modern times, most secretaries have come from Colorado, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon and Wyoming. The closest appointees from the "east" came from Kansas or Illinois. A Kentucky-born Maryland resident was named secretary, but it helped, immensely as in a lot, that his brother was a powerful U.S. senator. One Virginia resident got the job in the last century. But it turns out he had grown up in Oregon and was appointed from that state.
For a look at Berry's geographical odds, click here.

About the Manufacturer
For more than 100 years EKCO® kitchen gadgets have been helping in kitchens around the world. Manufactured with quality materials, these products are reliable, easy to use, easy to clean, and offer great features at reasonable prices. Over time, breadth and depth of assortment became increasingly more important to customers, as well as the desire for alternate brands at various price points. While the EKCO® brand will always represent the flagship line of kitchenware at a "good everyday value", the company has answered the consumer's call with many innovative products and additional brands to further support the proud history of EKCO® kitchenware.In 1888, Edward Katzinger founded a commercial baking pan company in Chicago, IL. It eventually became known as the EKCO® Housewares Co., and by the mid 1960's it evolved as the country's largest non-electric Housewares manufacturer. While EKCO® Cookware is still offered in our vast product portfolio, EKCO® kitchen tools and gadgets grew at a tremendous rate over the years and historically EKCO® was the only notable kitchenware brand, almost single-handedly servicing the marketplace for many, many years. The EKCO® brand became the gold standard for quality, reliable utensils that were used for everyday day meal preparation in kitchens across America. Even with the variety of items to choose from today, EKCO® tools and gadgets still remain one of the most recognizable and trusted brands in the business!
