Using a system of grading codes based on those established by price guides such as Beckett, Tuff Stuff, Sports Collector�s Digest, collectors can determine the approximate condition of items offered by interpreting the following grades. Grading is very subjective and there can also be grades in between the levels below. MINT (MT) - while we rarely use this grade, occasionally it can be found for items that we appraise as appearing nearly perfect to the naked eye. With respect to cards, it would be defined as one with 50/50 centering all around, razor-sharp corners, a photo that is well-registered and completely focused, and no visible imperfections on card front or back. NEAR MINT-MINT (NRMT/MT) - is qualified by at least 60/40 centering, only the slightest hint of corner wear upon close inspection, and may have a barely visible print spot, lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection. NEAR MINT (NRMT) - card displays at least 70/30 centering, may have a visible slight touch of corner wear all around, and/or a few slightly visible print spots, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection. EXCELLENT-MINT (EX/MINT) - centering equivalent to NRMT (70/30), but 2 or 3 corners display an obvious "fuzzy" quality. Essentially, a card that would have been deemed NRMT if not for the corner wear being more apparent. May have a barely visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection. EXCELLENT (EX) - all four corners show visible signs of wear, but are not rounded. Centering at least 80/20. May have a visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection. VERY GOOD (VG) - Corners are rounded and the card may have creases or wrinkles. FAIR TO GOOD - in this grade, card has rounded corners and other major defects such as scuffing, pinholes, loss of gloss, multiple creases. In general, a markedly worn card and often used as a "filler" until a better one comes along. |

As much as I feel for Oda, I have actually more problems to understand Amodio's score here. He messed up all three jumping passes and is still only within one TES point of Chan, and one PCS point of Oda.
As much as I feel for Oda, I have actually more problems to understand Amodio's score here. He messed up all three jumping passes and is still only within one TES point of Chan, and one PCS point of Oda.
I agree with your statement that Patrick Chan deserve below 80, but I disagree with you about Ellajd, he deserved to be ahead of Ten and Amodio with his skate tonight, and I disagree with you in the ladies field Kaetlyn Osmond deserve the score that she have and I'm sure that if she was skating the same sp outside of Canada that she would have get 60 points also.
The corruption is only in Patrick Chan right now and is less present year by year, we can see this by the score they give to Patrick Chan at Japan Open 2012, today a bad skate cannot be a winning skate like the past year. It's good for the sport to judge in this way!
No, I don't think Chan's PCS lead should've been greater than Oda's TES lead. I bet Chan got huge GOEs for his triple-triple combo (which didn't merit them - a 0 or +1 at best) and I wouldn't have given him more than a -2 for the 3A. I'm fine with +2 or +3 for the lutz, but even his legendary footwork wasn't that great. Hell, his skating seemed scratchier than usual too.
IP - really, did you really feel it scratchier? I really didn't see that. Off to watch again....
I think Patrick's score was fair. Though he did only 3T-3T, it looked well executed and so I expect him to gather some +GOE as well. In fact, all the elements were well executed except for that hand-down 3A. His PCS was well-deserved. No complaint. He didn't receive music deduction perhaps because it was choreographed as such, no different from his practice footage.
Patrick got a positive GOE in his combo and got 9.10 for it.
Edit: Both Oda and Chan got 6.50 for the triple axel.
Oda's BV is about 6 points over Chan. PChiddy got 0.90 GOE for a girl's combo 3T-3T and even his last sloppy spin was +0.43, with two judges given +2. Stupid. Also, Chan didn't get a deduction for finishing late off music, while Menshov got it for the absolutely same stuff at SA.
Patrick's skate was mesmerizing. I had doubts about converting Elegie into a competitive program but Buttle did a good job.
So Skate Canada is the most corrupted GP? Do they always hire the same judges and tech panelists? Such insults to the international judges! So Chan didn't do his quad, avoiding a fall, which should help his PCS according to many persistent theory, but his PCS is way below his par.
For being so hated by Skate Canada, Oda has usually medalled in this event, and scored close to or higher than Patrick in the SP.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Named in honor of our founder Jeffs bike trip through Belgium, Fat Tire Amber Ale marks a turning point in the young electrical engineers home brewing. Belgian beers use a far broader palette of ingredients (fruits, spices, esoteric yeast strains) than German or English styles. Jeff found the Belgian approach freeing. Upon his return, Jeff created Fat Tire and Abbey Belgian Ale, (assuming Abbey would be his big gun). He and his wife, Kim traveled around sampling their homebrews to the public. Fat Tires appeal quickly became evident. People liked everything about it. Except the name. Fat Tire won fans is in its sense of balance: toasty, biscuit-like malt flavors coasting in equilibrium with hoppy freshness.

IMO Euryalus and Brasília are the only ones I would choose.
Phoronix: Fedora 11: Blarney? Duchess? Zampone?
In early December we shared that it was time for the Fedora community to come up with the Fedora 11 codename. Following that many different names were proposed for Fedora 11, but then after each name was evaluated and went through Red Hat's legal department, the list became much shorter...
IMO Euryalus and Brasília are the only ones I would choose.
Good names. Didn't bring as much fun as Ubuntu's naming contests though.
This is a Zampone:
Being an Italian, I really wish they vote for some other name.
Rats...Does this mean the only one with Legal green light are supposed to get a vote?
I have two names in the list but they don't have the legal green light but there don't have the rejection either. Look for "Urban" and "Marshall" (which is my old College and the real school for the movie, We Are Marshall")
EDIT: Nevermind...the official voting page is: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/voting/about/relnamef11
(They don't have my names in there... I guess this means at the next lunch with their legal staff, I'm gonna have to strangle a few of 'em.)

Perhaps they meant Zamboni ?
Definitely Leonidas.
Okay...I guess if I have to choose, it will be Zampone, as Linux (and RedHat) is pretty much a sauasagefest right now.
Being an Italian born in Modena, I vote for "Zampone"
Muahahahha ROTFL
BTW, they must hurry up in choosing the name , otherwise they will be surpassed by Canonical, dubbing Ubuntu 15.04 LTS Zealot Zampone (no closed-source firmware inside)

Obviously Leonidas. The perfect name for a really, really bleeding-edge distro.

I'm pissed because Nancy Pelosi is the reason why we don't have another EUI! !!!
Lay off the fox new man, its killing you.
As has been posted here many times, its the republicans and bush that have stopped the UI extension from happening. Why do you think they had to sneak it though last time?. It wasnt because of nancy pelosi. Nancy Pelosi is the one who keeps bringing it up.
Exactly! Some folks on this forum need to calm down and see things as they are, not through a haze of high emotion.
Pelosi has been an advocate for us, give her credit for that. The Repugs have consistently fought against the jobless. Remember the fight to get the last extension? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
QUESTION: I have an interview Monday. Now I'm not so sure how good of a company this is as they have fired and hired people for this position 3 times in the last six months. Maybe they just can't find the right person or maybe they are just a loser small business I don't know. I will use my best judgement at the interview.
MY QUESTION IS THIS: My unemployment "extension benefits" expired about 6 weeks ago. Like I said, they were extension benefits as my regular benefits expired or ran out before that. If I were to get the job and they fire me say in 2 months, will I be entitled to unemployment benefits again, mainly the stimulus package that we are all so eager for them to pass?
Now for those of you who are saying well if you do a good job you won't get fired, let me say this. Some companies in my industry hire sales people to help them build there business and also use their contacts that they bring to the employer, then let you go and hire another salesman and do the same. Also the economy could really head further into the abyss and they could just go out of business.
Will I be entitled to benefits or did I screw myself for taking a crap job, is what I want to know? Here's what Pelosi did for all of us:
"With that bill's passage blocked, Pelosi then sought to have it added to the financial bailout legislation making its way to Bush's desk, according to officials in both parties. They said the White House signaled it would accept an extension of unemployment benefits, but the speaker refused to allow the stimulus package to be broken up.
As a result, Congress adjourned without providing additional benefits for the unemployed as increasing numbers of people are losing their jobs."
Read for your self ..She didnt want to break the deal ..they were going to vote yes ..
"Here's what Pelosi did for all of us: "
From the same link you post
The House passed a $61 billion economic stimulus bill before lawmakers adjourned for the elections, but it was largely symbolic since SENATE REPUBLICANS had already thwarted efforts to pass a companion measure.
People like you HURT our cause. Please let the adults handle it.

Does it support 2.6.36?
Phoronix: ATI Linux Users Get Excited For Catalyst 10.10
In what has become an unfortunate tradition for the past few releases, prior to the release of Ubuntu 10.10, AMD provided Canonical with a pre-release of their latest proprietary Catalyst driver at the time. They have done this to fix some major bugs, but primarily to provide a working ATI/AMD proprietary graphics driver that will run against their latest Ubuntu Linux release as usually their latest public releases at the time do not support Ubuntu's kernel and/or X.Org Server. With Maverick Meerkat, which was released yesterday, there is a pre-release of the Catalyst 10.10 Linux driver, which will not be released to the general public until later in October...
Does it support 2.6.36?
ArchLinux has had a beta of 10.10 as a pkgbuild for a while now... and I am running it with xserver 1.9
It may take a bit of fiddling if you have leftovers from the previous driver but .... that seems to happen on all distros and catalyst upgrades I have tried (and I always use the package manager too).
lots of rendering in wine is broken for me for some reason...
Title is very misleading. I don't see anyone getting "excited" over fglrx. Excitement over gallium3d progress, yes.
Highly unlikely it supports 2.6.36
"Fixed text corruption in Steam games "
Wait what?
There's nothing to be excited about, it's still a piece of proprietary and binary code, so it's worth nothing, and can't excite anybody that has a clue.
Most probably they mean a fix for this bug:
Ticket 811722 - Missing text/characters
They could just mean Steam through WINE. Although we can hope otherwise

Regions :: Southeast Asia Global PS demand expected to be lower in 2013 because of high feedstock costs, product substitution10:38 AM MDT | May 23, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez Polystyrene (PS) demand is expected to be lower worldwide this year compared with last year, according to the latest IHS Chemical Market Advisory Service: Global Plastics & Polymers report. PS is under pressure because high feedstock and conversion costs are resulting in converters substituting PS with other plastics, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), the report says. PS demand in Western Europe is expected to be 5% lower during 2013, and similar trends are being observed in... This information is only available to Chemical Week subscribers.

The M.Ed. in Primary Montessori education (ages 3-6) consists of 36 graduate credits plus oral comprehensive examinations. The coursework is divided into two parts. The Montessori training is a nine-month program that fulfills the requirements for the AMI diploma. This course of study is given 27 credit hours.
The education core courses are designed to broaden the students knowledge of research and trends in the field of education. These courses total nine credits hours and are listed with the ED or SE course key.
The Montessori education primary training course offered by the Washington Montessori Institute is accredited by the Association Montessori Internationale and presents theory and use of materials for development, all of which are arranged in a carefully prepared environment. The materials for development include activities for practical life, refinement of the senses, language and mathematics. Geography, history, physical science and life science are presented to the child through various language and manipulative activities. Movement, music and art form part of the day-to-day activities.
In particular, practical life activities enhance the development of control of movement, sequencing and concentration through inviting and purposeful work. Sensorial materials enable the child to order, classify and describe sense experiences such as dimension, color, texture, sound and sight. Language includes oral language development, written expression, reading, elements of grammar, and literature. Mathematics makes use of manipulative materials to help the child gain an understanding of the concepts of number, symbol, sequence, operations, and memorization of basic facts. Music and art are vehicles for self-expression as well as areas around which to build appreciation for other modes of communication. The program for the teacher presents key points for bringing these materials for development to the primary child. In addition, skill for guiding a group of children at this stage of development is covered theoretically and practically through observation and practice teaching in Montessori classrooms.
Students attend classes full time, five days a week. Although the AMI course requirements are listed as discrete courses for purposes of registration, the actual program during these semesters is presented as an integrated program of child development, methodology, practice, observation, and practice teaching. Students write illustrated reference manuals which reflect the content of the course. They also prepare certain classroom materials under the supervision of the faculty.
A unique aspect of the AMI course of study is regular practice with materials in equipped environments. Students learn how to set up an appropriate environment and present age-appropriate materials and activities in areas suitable to their developmental stage.
When the AMI written examinations are passed and all requirements have been completed, 27 graduate credits (MO designation) are posted to the students Loyola transcript. In addition, if AMI oral comprehensive examinations are successfully completed, the AMI diploma is awarded.
After completing the AMI Montessori courses, students take the additional nine credits which comprise the educational core. The three core courses are offered in a special intensive summer session, and students must complete two independent study papers as part of ED625-Advanced Studies in Education.
Students have the option of taking the three education core courses in any combination during the regular course schedule. All core courses must be completed within four semesters following completion of the Montessori training core.
For applicants who already hold a M.Ed., a Certificate of Advanced Study is offered. Learn more about the estimated costs, related standard occupations, and normal completion time for the CAS in Montessori Education.
