No standard regimen currently exists for the treatment of AIDS-related lymphoma. Based on the encouraging NCI results with DA-EPOCH, the US AIDS Malignancy Consortium is currently administering a phase II randomized protocol comparing EPOCH with sequential versus concurrent rituximab (AMC protocol 034). In this AMC trial, the decision to co-administer cART is left to the discretion of the treating physician and the patient. While the AMC phase II study may establish an acceptable chemotherapy regimen suitable for further study in a phase III randomized trial, the results will not address adherence, pharmacokinetic interactions or the role of cART in AIDS-related lymphoma. The contribution of cART to the anti-lymphoma efficacy of any regimen needs to be formally studied. Our proposed trial to demonstrate the feasibility of co-administering cART with chemotherapy would justify the use of combined therapy in future AMC/International phase III protocols.

Special training
Airborne School
You hook up your static line. You check your parachute equipment. You move toward the door of the aircraft - and then it's your turn. The cold air hits you in the face and, suddenly one step later, the only thing between you and the ground is 1,300 feet of air. And, of course, three weeks of intense training that have thoroughly prepared you for this moment. Talk about a rush! Having successfully survived jump school, Soldiers graduate and are given their Airborne wings. Wings are a mark of courage, daring and skill. But jump school is more than an airborne academy. It's a confidence school, a leadership school. Soldiers who complete the course leave with greater self-respect and self confidence. That's something they have for the rest of their lives. Do you have what it takes?
Ground Training (Week 1)
During ground training week, you begin an intensive program of instruction building
individual skills designed to prepare you to make a parachute jump and land safely.
The equipment your platoon will train on are the mock door, the 34 foot tower, and
the lateral drift apparatus (LDA). You must qualify on the 34 foot tower, the LDA,
properly perform the Parachute Landing Fall (PLF) and pass all Physical Training (PT)
requirements to go on to tower training week.
Tower Training (Week 2)
The individual skills learned during week one will be refined during tower week and
a team effort or "mass exit" concept is added to the training. The apparatus used
during this week are the swing landing trainer (SLT) and the suspended harness (SH).
Week two completes the individual skill training and builds team effort skills. You
must qualify on the mass exit procedures, the SLT, and pass all PT requirements to
go forward to jump training week.
Jump Training (Week 3)
This is it! The previous weeks of training have prepared you for this week. If you
are not ready to jump, you will not enter this phase. Week three is devoted to your
five qualifying jumps. Before you make your first jump you will receive a review of
malfunctions and aircraft orientation and be organized and manifested for the jump.
Unless restricted by the lack of jump aircraft or weather, graduation is normally
conducted on Friday of week three at the Airborne Walk. Guests are welcome to observe
jumps at Fryar Drop Zone, watch graduation, and participate in awarding the wings.
On Friday morning your company will out-process and following graduation you should
be allowed to depart.
The U.S. Army Airborne school is located at Fort Benning, Georgia. This school is available to eligible Cadets during the winter and summer breaks.
Air Assault School
During this phase you will conduct various training evolutions such as the famous
(infamous for some) obstacle course followed by a two mile run. You will be tested
with written and practical exams. The practical examination will be on aircraft hand
and arm signals. The written examination will cover material such as Army helicopter
characteristics and capabilities, and medical evacuation procedures. You will also
conduct PT, a four mile road march, and a combat air assault operation.
Phase two is the most difficult phase of Air Assault. You will be tested on practical
rigging and inspection of sling loads for utility and cargo helicopters. Written tests
will also follow in phase two. Written examinations will be on Pathfinder operations.
Practical examinations will be on inspections of various sling loads. You will have
two minutes to find a minimum of three of the four discrepancies placed in various
sling loads. You will participate in a live sling load operation during this phase.
During the rappelling phase you will be tested on tying the swiss seat (90 seconds
is the standard), ramp, tower, skid rappelling, and fast-rope techniques. Before you
know it you will find yourself going out of an actual helicopter. The final test for
Air Assault is the 12 mile road march with full combat gear. When you complete this
test and march onto the parade field, you will be a member of the elite team of .
Northern Warfare School
The Northern Warfare Training Center is located in Ft. Greely, Alaska. The course is three weeks long with emphasis on mobility in mountainous terrain, glaciers, and inland waterways. Mountain phase includes climbing, rappelling, and medical evacuation. The River phase covers boat operations, stream crossing, and river charting, reading and navigation. The Glacier phase covers crevasse rescue, step cutting and anchors, belaying, and party climbing.
Cadet Initial Entry Training (CIET) Course
The Cadet Initial Entry Training Course is opportunity training, beginning during Cadet Summer Training 2015, for rising college juniors, graduate degree programs, and high school graduates attending one of five military junior colleges, to experience world-class leadership training. Cadets develop new skills, experience personal growth and awareness, and become qualified for enrollment in the Advanced Course of Army ROTC that ultimately leads to a commission as an Army Officer. Training is conducted 26 of 28 days at CIET. Cadets will have two days off, usually on Sunday, when they will be allowed to take advantage of the numerous MWR facilities on post and religious services, essentially to experience life on an Army installation.
Conducted at Fort Knox, Kentucky, the Cadet Initial Entry Training Course's main focus is to develop leadership skills and discipline through exposure to interactive personal and group experiences. Cadets are introduced to the "Soldierization" experience as the learn many of the basic Soldier sills that set the U.S. Army apart from civilian colleagues. Army Drill Sergeants and cadre from universities across the nation play key roles in the Cadet experience as they provide guidance and mentorship while evaluating and providing feedback to Cadets who lead themselves through the daily training rigors.
Through this experience, Cadets learn how and when to lead others and the importance of teamwork in accomplishing a common goal. More importantly, they are taught the values and ethos of an Army officer. Training is sequenced in a logical building-block manner, which allows an ideal flow of training for each company. Training is organized into four phases. The training program includes:
Soldier First Phase – a three-day indoctrination designed to introduce the Cadets to the U.S. Army. The underpinning premise is that in order to be a good leader, you must first understand what it means to be a Soldier. Upon arrival, the Cadets are introduced to the same standards as initial entry trainees by the Army's professional NCO Corps--specifically the Drill Sergeants. The Cadets learn how to wear the uniform, are introduced to the Army Physical Fitness Program, and are taught the basics of Drill and Ceremony. Upon completion of the Soldier First Phase the Cadets participate in a Guidon Ceremony where they are formally assigned into platoons with a subordinate Cadet chain of command.
Warrior Leader Phase – covers adventure training, which builds both Cadet self-confidence and unit esprit-de-corps. Additionally, Cadets learn basic military skills in order to function as a small unit member. Training includes: Teamwork Development Course, Rappelling, Water Survival, Stream Crossing, Troop Leading Procedures, Drill and Ceremonies, Heavy Weapons, the Hand Grenade Assault Course, Road Marches, Basic Rifle Marksmanship, Map Reading, Land Navigation, Orienteering, Squad Tactics, and, of course, physical fitness.
Bold Leader (LDX) Phase – is the course's four-day LDX "Capstone Exercise." Cadets are exposed to autonomous squad level operations where cadre assess the Cadets' leadership ability in a physically and emotionally stressful field environment. Cadets will experience event-oriented leadership training opportunities such as rock climbing and high ropes courses, squad tactics and paintball, survival training, and water operations. There are also many unexpected leadership situational training exercises Cadets encounter during the four-day period.
Future Leader Phase – as the final phase of CIET, Cadets will reinforce and share their learning experience through small group reflection, final counseling, family day, and the graduation ceremony. The afternoon before graduation is a "Family Day" where families and friends are briefed about the course and allowed to spend the afternoon with Cadets.

Cadet Leadership Training Course (CLTC)
CLTC, beginning during Cadet Summer Training 2015, puts each Cadet through 32 days of intense individual, squad and platoon-level training to assess leadership potential. Cadets are assessed against the 19 leadership dimensions which includes; physical stamina, technical competence, delegation, decisiveness, and problem analysis. Instruction and evaluation at CLTC is progressive, building on individual skills like Army Physical Readiness, Basic Rifle Marksmanship, Orienteering, and Solution Oriented Training.
The CLTC also allows Cadets to meet other students from across the country and work with them as a team. This is one of their greatest challenges at CLTC and also one of its best facets. By reorganizing CLTC into a leadership and solution-oriented event, Cadet Command enables leader-focused training and evaluation for all ROTC Cadets.
CLTC training committees employ active-duty Soldiers from Fort Knox and Army Reserve/Active Duty and National Guard units from across the country to instruct Cadets in such skills as automatic weapons operation, calling for fire using field artillery assets, and small unit tactics.
Cadets face squad and platoon level situational training exercises which involves carefully evaluated leadership attributes and competencies while conducting an ambush, reacting to sniper fire, or performing a reconnaissance patrol.
Throughout CLTC, leadership positions are constantly rotated as each Cadet is monitored closely by committee members. Cadet Command staff, who conduct most of the training and evaluations, are Officers and senior NCOs who teach military science subjects on college campuses, nationwide. Once the Cadets finish CLTC, many may choose to attend Airborne or Air Assault School or go to a Cadet Troop Leadership Training assignments to gain additional experience.

Mobile User Experience Trends on the Horizon
Change is in the air, or perhaps more accurately, in the airwaves. It's visible every time a child presses a finger to a laptop screen, expecting it to respond, and in business meetings where projectors are left unused in favor of the more intimate, shared visual experience of an iPad.
The majority of the world's digital experiences now happen through mobile devices linked by wireless networks. It is this untethered medium that is defining future trends in user behavior, sweeping away the legacy of interaction methods established for fixed computing scenarios.
A child born today could grow up without ever needing to use a mouse, a physical keyboard, or any form of wired connection. Similarly, the overwhelming majority of Internet access in emerging economies is through mobile devices and most of these users will never know any other method.
The untethering of digital experiences has been predicted by specialists for some time. Indeed, there is a long history of over-estimating the short-term impact of mobile technology, but significantly under-estimating the long-term impact.
In the process of bringing together the semi-annual MEX events, I've spent time tracking the technology landscape in the mobile industry and behavioral traits among mobile users. This article looks at several future trends I expect to be of significance for UX practitioners as the balance of user expectations tilts ever further towards mobile scenarios.
Touch Breaks Down Barriers Between Physical and Digital
Firstly, there is a move from indirect to direct manipulation methods. Touchscreens are a more natural way to interact with the digital world, and are proliferating. Children are having their first digital experiences with touchscreens on their parents' mobile devices, which are defining their future interface expectations.
There have already been stories of children trying to use the familiar pinch-to-zoom gesture on the physical Polaroids in family photo albums.
As more users interact with digital services through touch, the familiar "chrome" of UIs—buttons, icons and menus—will fade into the background. The content itself—be it document, photo or video—is becoming the new user interface, growing its share of screen real estate, dominating the aesthetic, and responding directly to the user's fingertips.
SMUIs Enable Truly Social Computing
As users reach out to touch the digital world, another trend will emerge: simultaneous, multi-person user interfaces (SMUIs). These are a response to behavioral traits already exhibited by tablet users. The tablet form factor inspires a shared intimacy, where two or more users often try to interact with the screen at the same time.
SMUIs represent potentially the most significant generational change facing UX practitioners. They challenge the traditional convention governing the majority of digital interfaces—to design primarily for a single user interacting with a single device at any one time.
In contrast, SMUIs allow two or more users to interact with the same device at the same time. Although many touchscreens are technically capable of recognizing multiple fingers, there are still few products that allow for elegant, simultaneous interactions by multiple users.
SMUIs are ideal for scenarios such as a couple planning a vacation together, children challenging each other to a multiplayer game or a family organizing their photo album.
SMUIs enable truly social computing, where the participants are physically present to share the experience.
Balancing UX and Network Austerity
The growing influence of mobile also brings constraints. Devices are smaller and have finite power resources, and wireless networks deliver a less consistent connection and impose restrictions on how much data can be downloaded by each user.
It will be some years before the technology and economics align to allow a cellular Internet experience comparable to today's fixed broadband. In the meantime, UX practitioners face an era of wireless network austerity. A balance must be struck between delivering the essentials of customer experience within limitations of wireless capacity.
There is a particularly difficult conflict to overcome. User tolerance of latency is lower on untethered devices, but wireless networks have slower connection speeds and lose connectivity more frequently.
Designers who combine existing visual skills with increased technical knowledge of networks and programming efficiency will be best placed to create good user experiences.
Single Device, Multiple Screens
An additional trend is the multiplication of screens controlled by individual mobile devices. This is developing along two paths. Firstly, the cost of displays and their relative power requirements is falling, enabling mobile devices to include more than one screen in a single physical product. The Nintendo DS and Toshiba Libretto are examples of this.
Secondly, it is becoming easier to abstract content to additional displays outside of the mobile device itself, connecting wirelessly to PCs, TVs and even wearable displays. Apple TV, for instance, can be controlled from an iOS mobile device, while Sony Ericsson has introduced a wearable LiveView accessory for its Android mobile devices.
Controlling multiple screens from a single device raises the possibility of experiences that combine multiple digital touchpoints to become greater than the sum of their parts.
This challenges practitioners to consider how UX is formed in the gaps between devices and to anticipate more frequent periods of partial user attention. Designers must also consider how investing in their own education and ability to understand the broader context of multi-screen user scenarios to enhance their ability to design effectively for the multi-screen future.

Over the years, we've written a variety of articles on the future of user interfaces. As we watch history go by, though, it strikes me more and more the effect of inertia. Things do not change as fast as 'prophets' think they will and of course they never go quite in the direction we hypothesize. And change interacts with other changes in ways we could never anticipate. Great article, nonetheless.
Magic Trackpad is the greatest example for me that user experience and principles of interaction are changing for computing scenarios. Gestural interfaces realization is not a touchscreen, but a touch as direct manipulation.
It will be interesting to witness the integration of both touch screen and gesture controls with more verbal controls in the next wave of mobile interaction.
@Giles Smith,Louise Hewitt
I agree that observing children is a great method. But children rather manipulate physical stuff instead of acting on a surface. The "push", "pull", "throw" we have in touch interfaces now are just vague metaphors for this physical-world manipulating behaviour. So childrens behaviour would rather support tangible interfaces.
What is interesting is that the gaming platforms are not using touch screens at all. They are already providing interfaces for multiple people that rely on gestures. Its safe to say that both touch screens and gesture controls are integral steps on the way to providing a better user interface to the technology.
What will be interesting is the point where physical interactions, gestures and verbal controls converge into a seamless user experience and what the right set of interactions will be at that point.
If we are going to define a standard set of interactions let's make it comprehensive and build in the ability for the standard to update quickly so that it doesn't get left behind as the technology improves and trends change.
Interesting article, though (perhaps with the exception of pinch-zoom) how much of this is truly revolutionary? Many of the supposed 'innovations' now being brought to fruition in touch interfaces have clear parallels in classic desktop UIs.
Perhaps these new touch interfaces only seem so revolutionary because the currently dominant UI framework, HTML, is so backward. No drag and drop, no right-click contextual menus, no keyboard interaction. Just clickable links, some of which are styled as buttons.
Agree with much, but most of all with the implications that children (especially the very young whose behaviour can be more reliably considered 'natural') are an excellent resource when creating new paradigms for interaction with touch. I secretly test all my interface concepts with my kids - the only problem is now, at 3 and 6, they are getting too experienced!
I think that you can create any kind of interface within a multitouch screen enviroment, or even create a very nice standar interface used on a multitocuh device so, I think all the ideas exposed here are great.
@Andrew Niepraschk I agree with the necessity of standard gesture set. Perhaps user demands/ complaints will force companies to adhere to one set of gestures (the most dominant, widely accepted (Apple)).
@Dinesh Kaushal Gestures without physical screens would be great. This would allow users to control devices from long distances. Imagine eye, finger and hand tracking!
Accessibility for blind/ disabled users will always remain important. I hope designers and coders don't overlook this in the excitement of new technologies.
The trends suggest that the increased usage of touch screens is going to be there whether we like it or not. Another usability element would soon be gestures without screens. portable projectors are already available, and with time we might be just using any surface to read / write our documents.
All this leads to another problem, i.e. usability of such devices for persons who are blind / disabled. It is very difficult for a blind user to know what is there on a screen, so using a touch screen or a gesture becomes a big challenge for them. A touch screen or a gesture based interface might do an action, creating problem for a blind user.
We will have to create standard ways for blind / disabled persons to use such interfaces.
"Single device, multiple screens" sounds very exciting, now iPad has seen a lot of success but imagine a large screen device that fits in your pocket
There is a huge problem that must be tackled and destroyed before any of this can come to fruition. The bad thing is, rather than getting better so far all vested parties seem more interested in making this problem worse. I am of course talking about the lack of a standard gesture set.
Consider if you will, the child (or even adult) learns to pinch to zoom on one device, then goes to a new device and pinches only to have the application close, and on a third device the pinch minimizes. How utterly frustrating! And instead of working together, the different players like HP, Apple, and Google are instead suing or threatening to sue anyone who uses a similar gesture to task mapping as they are using on their devices. They have the typical business mentality of "I made it, if you want to use it you can't, at least not without paying me tons of money". When in reality if Apple or Google would instead take the initiative to get with HP and align their gesture sets and then get with every other non smart phone gesture using device and get them on board with the same exact gesture set, they would eventually completely obliterate the other "non-standard" smart phone.
Until a standard is developed and adhered to across the board, developing invisible GUIs and installing them on a device is just asking for that device to be forgotten when a standard eventually does come around. Since a standard by my estimation is at least 2 years out, probably more than 5 and possibly as much as a decade, I will not be buying any hidden GUI devices any time soon.
@Jan Isn't one of the first things we do when we are born is to learn how things respond when we touch them? Children try to push, pull, rub, stroke everything in an effort to understand how an object works and responds.
Maybe gestural interfaces seem like a step backwards in usability to people of our generations who have been conditioned to interact with devices using buttons and pointing devices?
I will read the article you suggest now...
Its pretty common to state touchscreens have a great usability and that the GUI fades away in order to give content more space. The second part of this is right, but interaction using hidden interfaces trigged by long-tap or "natural" gestures (that all need to be learned) is pretty bad from the point of usability.
Read http://www.jnd.org/dn.mss/gestural_interfaces_a_step_backwards_in_usability_6.html for an assesment of the topic.
Even before Don Normans Articles on the topic I had no clue where the great usability is supposed to come from. Probably from advertisements.

Comments about LEATHERMAN Supertool 300 Multitool:
I found the wire stripper to be less than effective, however, once the toolkit has been broken in, (opening and closing the device can be rather tedious right out of the box) it's a rather handy little multi-tool overall. Suitable for small, quick jobs where one may not have access to "proper" tools.

Apparently not!
Multiple sources have confirmed to Us Weekly that Beyoncé will be joined on stage at the Super Bowl by her former bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for their first performance as a group since 2006.
The magazine says Beyoncé will start the show solo, after which Rowland and Williams will join her for a medley of the group's songs, culminating in the world premiere performance of a brand new song, "Nuclear" (the existence of which we first learned about yesterday when the pop star announced the group would be releasing a new compilation album).
Maybe there's hope for an 'NSync reunion tour after all.

A Little about Me
I am a fourth-year senior in Psychology and Architecture and I currently work on Dr. Lamb's research team over at Emory, where we are studying how nurses coordinate care in the hospital. I'm looking forward to graduating in the spring and I am truly excited about seeing how this class unfolds.
Outside of classes, I have been coaching youth soccer teams (with kids under the age of 6, yes...pure craziness!) for the past four years, as well as serving as an adviser to a freshmen leadership team, Freshman Activities Board (FAB). I also teach several fitness classes at our very own CRC, including cycling and cardio kickboxing.
My other interests include running, photography, reading the newspaper and perusing IKEA catalogs :) My email is ddutcher(a)gatech.edu.

Things to Check Into
- Hillandale Hospital (where Julia Jones used to work)
August 21, 2007 | Intro
As the professors for this course were discussing their individual perspectives, some common themes about 'designing for children' (especially when using Hughes Spalding as a model) rose to the forefront:
- Wide range of users: the range of users in a children's hospital includes both patients + families
- Decision support: families and patients need better resources when making important decisions in the hospital setting
- Security: the urban setting of Hughes Spalding presents different security issues than a suburban, non-community hospital
- Child-friendly environments: the materials, colors, textures, etc. are incredibly important when considering children as the primary users
- Wow! factor: aiming for a "Wow!" response from children pushes the design team to be creative and innovative
- Timeliness of care: possibility of transforming the waiting room into another type of environment, where the emphasis is not on the "waiting"
- Accommodation for all the "stuff" that families bring: ability to accommodate all the toys, clothes, bags, food, other children that families tote along with them
- Transparency: role of technology in the healing/care-giving processes
- Building access: how will the family drive up, drop off their belongings, get the kids inside safely, etc?
- Flexibility: designing for adaptable change
'Pushing design innovation deeper into the building' is an interesting concept that promotes creativity, innovation, and focus beyond simply the lobby. Innovation can and should happen at the level of the patient room, the nurses' station, the hallways, the operating rooms, the restrooms, the cafeteria. Change at all these levels can really spark a health-care culture revolution.
August 23, 2007 | Julia Jones: CHOA
- Hillandale: old site that Julia worked at; was converted to a digitally-based hospital
- Julia now works at Hughes Spalding as the VP of Operations
- The State of GA has to give you a "Certificate of Need"
- 86-90% of the patients at Hughes Spalding are on Medicaid, whereas 55% of the patients at other childrens' hospitals are on Medicaid

September 25, 2007 | Identifying the Problem
October 2, 2007 | Final Group Presentations
Interesting ideas that came out of the other group presentations:
-- CHCA: database for pediatric facilities
-- Vanderbilt's Children Hospital: conducted a focus group with children and families and what they need at the hospital
-- Helford Hospital at City of Hope: idea of the privacy of patient movement
-- How will MinuteClinics (at Walgreen's, CVS, etc) change the role of the ED at hospitals?
-- Five main categories of Anjali Joseph's suggestions for better hospital design:
-- Eco-diversity -- Spatial transparency -- Functional inconvenience -- Human scale -- Neutral zones

I'm using a 10" x 2" seasoned aluminum pan. Even though it's not a true deep dish pan, it's not a bad pan. I have four tin-plated steel deep dish pans, but the three smallest ones (6", 9", and 12") don't really work for stuffed pizza because they're only 1.5" deep. The 14" deep dish pan is 2" deep, but I haven't used it yet because I've had no need to make a 14" stuffed pizza so far. That would make almost a 6 lb pizza!
Here are some pictures I picked out of the Google image search results for Giordano's. I can't say for sure that all the pics are from Giordano's, but I feel pretty confident that they are all from Giordano's. I'm attempting to show that there's one obvious common characteristic with each of these pizzas; a characteristic that has been said many times in Giordano's threads not to be a characteristic of Giordano's pizza, including earlier on this page. Anyone care to guess what characteristic I'm attempting to highlight here?

Zapdos used T-Shirt. It's super effective!
IN MY OPINION, this doesn't seem to be worthwhile. It reeks of that 5-13 year old appeal towards some generic tough looking animal doing something "cool". I'd put this shirt in a similar category with those button-up shirts that teens wear unbuttoned. You know, the ones that have flame designs covering the entire thing (with the occasional dragon/ beast somewhere on the front/back). With this said, though, I understand that shirt.woot has a lot of nerdy shirts, and being a nerd isn't bad (at least I hope not!). I just wish my fellow nerd's typical flair didn't all lie in the similitude of designs in the shirt they wear...

They're not THAT rare… unless you have a 95 5-speed. I got a 93 5-speed with a 1.7 Autorotor making 391 rwhp. Might pick this shirt up, too.
Talk about a hard boss fight, especially if you only have enough magic for the thunder spell! And then you have to fight Dark Link!

No. Google "thunderbird mythology."
this came to mind http://5secondfilms.com/watch/the_ballad_of_truck_thunders/
THIS is the kind of design I expect from patrickspens -- crisp design with limited color, not being silly. So much nicer than the disappointing hotdog.
I don't get it... am I missing something?? This is the least attractive and cheesiest shirt I've ever seen woot put out. Looks like something my trailer trash side of the family would wear with their wolves howling at the moon sweatshirt over it... Woot, what's going on?
HA! That's no thunderbird!
Wait, shouldn't this be call "Lightnightbird"? ...Or are you saying thunder happens when this dumb bird explodes from electrocution?
It's cool but shouldn't it be called lightning bird?

yea, the wolves shirt was the first thing that came to my mind when i saw this
Methinks more people should read previous posts before commenting, this is regarding all the "shouldn't it be lightning bird" posts. michmck already said to google "thunderbird mythology". It's generally always associated with lightning in one or more ways. Do it, you might learn something ;p
It really ought to glow in the dark. I'd be sold! As it is, though, not so much.

Woot? Talk to the voters. They liked it, they're buying it.
yeah, i just thought cheezy airbrushed wolf or eagle shirt when I saw this one in the fog. not that I have the skill to get more than 10 votes on a design at shirt woot, but i don't get the wide appeal here.

I got 11 votes once
Really a "power animal"? This belongs in a fantasy weapons store!
I bought this. I couldn't decide if it was a cheesy kind of hipster ironic thing (which would annoy me) or a really awesome artistic rendition of an awesome thing happening. Then I looked at it for a while and decided it was the latter. I do live in WV though so I don't think anyone would ever consider it hipster style. It feels very 80s with the bird looking the way it is, but I think on a shirt on my chest it will instill me with badassity. I've been looking for a geek shirt lately but this will take the place until I find a really good one.
I bought this too. 50/50 toss up between cheesy-cliche effect, and quality "thats awsome" artwork. Guess I won't know how I feel until I first put it on.
Jeez Muffy lighten up, no need to insult the artist and your family because you don't like the shirt.
this really is more of a lightning bird is it not?
What's the word? Thunderbird. How's it sold? Good and cold. What's the jive? Bird's alive. What's the price? Thirty twice.
Can someone please send this bird to my neighborhood to deal with our pigeon problem. I will provide clouds and rain, wait I live in Arizona, so I probably can't provide those things.
Ooooo. Bouncing button time! Nice work Patrickspens.
Just realized that when an artist here has three shirts up for sale, you could say that they are "in sync" with the wooters? Get it? Because, they have buy buy buy in their sig line... Okay, I'm tired and not on top form this evening.
Sold out.
I'm just waiting for the Firefox shirt to go along with it.

Couldn't have put it better myself. But what are you to go now that it is sold out? It's easy! Just follow either this link after midnight central time to purchase the shirt at the new, premium price of $15. Or, simply go to the reckoning page after midnight central time and there will be a tiny image of this awesome bird which will link you to the same "I want one" page. (Hint: All the cool wooters who want to support t-shirt artists buy three. But don't let them know I told you this little secret ;) )
I totally forgot to check shirt.woot yeasterday so I missed the $10 deal; however, I did not hesitate to click Buy to purchase this shirt for an instant this morning. So freaking good!
Is anyone else waiting for this shirt to ship? I ordered it on the first day and it hasn't shipped yet, but the shirts I ordered on Monday's Reckoning already have.

O's, Tribe clash in key Wild Card rubber game
Britton, McAllister squaring off as clubs jockey for playoff position
The Indians have been scuffling with the bats, but they found just enough offense to eke out a crucial 4-3 victory over the Orioles on Tuesday.
Cleveland will hope to build on that performance on Wednesday night, when it hosts the rubber game of a three-game series at Progressive Field. With Tuesday's win, the Indians pulled to within a half-game of the Orioles in the chase for the second American League Wild Card spot, currently held by the Rays.
Going into Tuesday, Cleveland had lost six of its previous seven, scoring two runs or fewer five times. It still managed only five hits in the middle game of the series, but did draw five walks.
With the loss, the Orioles fell to 3-5 on their nine-game road trip.
Zach Britton will try to become the latest pitcher to tame the Cleveland offense when he matches up against Zach McAllister on Wednesday. Britton (2-3, 4.76 ERA) is making only his seventh big league start of the season, and his first since July 9.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter has elected to go with a six-man rotation for at least the next week, with the addition of Britton. The left-hander has struggled in the Majors this season, with 15 walks, 12 strikeouts and a 1.65 WHIP over 34 innings, lasting six innings in only two of six starts.
But he also is coming off his best start at Triple-A Norfolk, having held Charlotte to one run on five hits over seven innings, with no walks and eight strikeouts. Britton said he is excited for his latest chance.
"Another opportunity to come up here and show that I've made adjustments," he said. "Hopefully, [I'll] give this team some innings and give the other starters a little breather, which is nice in September."
McAllister (7-8, 3.81 ERA) hit a bump in the road last time out, giving up five runs in 3 2/3 innings on Friday at Detroit, with six hits and four walks. The righty had gone 3-0 with a 1.83 ERA over his previous three outings.
"I just wasn't aggressive in the strike zone," McAllister said. "I fell behind, and they were able to put balls in play when they knew fastballs were coming and they didn't miss them."
Orioles: Reinforcements arrive
Baltimore promoted infielders Ryan Flaherty and Jonathan Schoop, pitcher Josh Stinson and designated hitter Henry Urrutia on Tuesday, the club's latest additions following the expansion of rosters.
Flaherty has played 75 games for the Orioles this season, mostly at second base, and is hitting .218/.280/.364 with eight home runs and 20 RBIs. Urrutia, a rookie from Cuba, went 14-for-52 (.269) with no walks in one previous big league stint. Stinson has a 5.19 ERA in four appearances, including one start, after throwing a scoreless two-thirds of an inning on Tuesday.
This is the first callup for the 21-year-old Schoop, the organization's top position-player prospect. He hit .256/.301/.396 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs in 289 plate appearances with Norfolk while playing second base and shortstop. He also missed more than two months with a stress fracture in his lower back.
Indians: Pestano, Raburn among additions
Cleveland called up pitchers Carlos Carrasco, C.C. Lee, Vinnie Pestano and Josh Tomlin from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday and activated utility player Ryan Raburn from the 15-day disabled list.
Pestano began the year as the Tribe's setup man after posting a 2.45 ERA over the past two seasons, and the right-hander picked up six saves. But he also had a 4.05 ERA and walked 19 batters in 33 1/3 innings before getting demoted at the end of July.
Raburn had been on the DL since Aug. 19 because of a left Achilles strain, and he also had experienced right calf discomfort. The veteran, hitting .272/.366/.574 with 15 home runs, still is "not 100 percent," according to manager Terry Francona. He did run the bases "pretty well" before Tuesday's game.
Worth noting
• The season series is tied at 3 going into Wednesday's final meeting.
• Britton took the loss against the Indians on June 24 in Baltimore, giving up three runs on six hits over five innings, with three walks and a season-high five strikeouts.
• McAllister hasn't faced the Orioles this season after posting a 3.38 ERA in two matchups with them in 2012.

Smoke tests sewers and fire department
The Indian Valley Community Services District Ordinance Committee will meet today, Tuesday, Aug. 9, at 5:30 p.m. They will discuss, at length, the sewer leaks found in the system during the ongoing smoke testing and what can be done about them. The meeting will be in their new office located across from their old office on Highway 89, between Greenville Cottage Antiques and Plumas Bank. The committee will probably make a report to the board during their regular meeting Wednesday, Aug. 10, at 6:30 p.m., in the Indian Valley Community Center, also located on Highway 89, on the other side of the antique shop.
Residents got a little excited in the Wolf Creek neighborhood of Greenville today, when Indian Valley Community Services District personnel began smoke testing the sewer lines.

Loc: down under Umbraphile.....thats me, well if doing it once classifieds me as such. I like to think so.
Its a great word. Umbraphile is a shadow lover, especially in terms of eclipse chasing. One who searches the world for best place to see this natural phenomenon.
Waiting For The Shadow
I travelled 1700k to see the Total Eclipse. And thousands of people from around the world descended into Cairns for the same reason. It is very rare to see a total solar eclipse, especially from the land and in ones own country.
As dawn broke and the sun began to rise over Queensland, totality ....when the moon completely covers the sun began. It was Wednesday the 14th of November. A day that will be in my memory for ever. An extraordinary natural phenomenon.
The eclipse happens because at this time, in space, the sun which is 400 times bigger than the moon, is also 400 times farther away, so for those near Cairns it will appear that the moon matches the size of the sun.
What creates the shadow
It really makes you think....what the world would be like with out the sun, how dark it would be, and cold. I noticed a sudden drop in the temperature and that the birds went quiet, everything was quiet. I thought about what it must have been like for the dinosaurs back during the Ice Age.
I'm hooked. I am planning where I have to go next to see the next eclipse

Loc: Alaska We had a dog named Umbra: the collie part of her gave her a tiny white stripe on her muzzle, the Lab part put a matching black stripe next to it. The husky part of her made her love to pull, and for years we took her to a carnival at the local elementary school, put on her harness, and hitched her to a little red wagon. She happily hauled children on the track around the playground all day long.

Loc: down under I had a welders helmet, Jackie. It gave the best protection. The glasses (cardboard with some sort of protective lens)they were selling for $10 were issued with warning 'not for continual use'!
Umbra...was a great name for that dog, with those markings, Peter.

We believe that the cornerstone of traditional marketing—the idea of making people want stuff—has become increasingly irrelevant. So where does that leave a marketing services firm? Well, the mainstay of our work is just the opposite: make stuff that people want. Consumers today are information-seekers. They're platform agnostic and want tailored information that tells a story bigger than what's being sold. The most successful marketing today responds in kind by providing valuable, entertaining and shareable content—material that educates, fosters intimacy, lays off the hard sell and never interrupts. While many marketers have simply changed where they perform their work—digital and social instead of print and television—we think beyond the medium, focusing on how we can build a relationship prior to purchase, communicate both value and values and shape opinions across entire sectors. That's how we define content marketing. It's not for everybody, but we think we're pretty good at it.
It's not about size or market share—it's about mindset. Being a challenger means charging fearlessly at the slow moving giants who stand in the way of innovation. This is why Captains works exclusively with the brands who are out to shake up whole industries, reject the status quo, and change the world.

Giauque; (jake-way), to make way jakeingly. to push people out of your way without mercy. To Giauque, you must hold your possesions in a football hold at your side and tilt your head down and run as fast as you can through a large crowd of people. another position to Giauque is to run full tilt with your elbows pointed out at about shoulder height. Another is to just flail all your limbs out so that people will keep out of your way.
man, did you see that guy going Giauque throught the hallways between classes? that was brutal.

Please recognize that the USFS cannot "send Sasha elsewhere" other than an obscure "B" International. Sasha would have to receive a GP invitation from another federation, and despite the new rule about returning former seeds, I'm not sure she can qualify as someone who "through no fault of [her] own" sat out competitions since Worlds 2006.
I'm rather put off by Cohen shamelessly angling for that SA spot when she's done zilch in the past 3 1/2 years to promote US figure skating.
And I don't think she'd fill that many seats at Lake Placid, either. LP is very out in the boondocks, expensive to fly to, and is in a region where a heavy November snow is a distinct possibility.
She left the competitive scene on her own will. Unless the ISU wants to bend their own rules, I don't think Cohen will be offered any Gp events other than SA. A "B" International is definitely better than nothing at all.
USFS still has the final say, though. She is at their mercy. If Cohen does get the SA spot the USFS is who you should be mad at.I'm rather put off by Cohen shamelessly angling for that SA spot when she's done zilch in the past 3 1/2 years to promote US figure skating.
I don't think her presence will make as huge an impact as, say, MK would, but one can't deny that she's definitely a bigger name overall than Rachel Flatt or Caroline Zhang.And I don't think she'd fill that many seats at Lake Placid, either. LP is very out in the boondocks, expensive to fly to, and is in a region where a heavy November snow is a distinct possibility.
There's no denying that Cohen is a bigger name than Flatt or Zhang, but I still don't see her filling that big arena at Lake Placid. It's too hard to get to, and getting there requires driving through what is basically wilderness at a time of year when the going could be very rough.
And with Sasha's record of SA attendance, there's a good chance that she won't even be there after all. People will surely take that into consideration before ordering tickets. It would be a bummer if they expected Sasha and got Becky Bereswill instead.
No way will the presence of Cohen translate to a sellout event or even a well-attended event.
But I think there will be many MORE people than OTHERWISE would be there without her. (BTW, I completely agree with you- I don't think she will last until SA. If she does, I will be the first one to say I underestimated her. Happy now, PM?)
I don't know the Lake Placid area, or even where it was located until I looked at a map. I was actually considering going there before I knew where it was, since I'd be on the Eastern seaboard at event time- that is, if it was within commute of NYC. Apparently it's not even close, so I scrapped that idea promptly.
I was hoping to get to SA because Lake P is as close to me as any GP comp will be for a while. And if Sasha is not there, I will still be thrilled to see a live GP competition, whoever's there. Including Becky Bereswill. I thought she did a great job at... whatever it was she won. (Sorry!)
No need to blame Sasha in May for an imaginary uproar in November, or put down less famous skaters (especially by name). Good grief.
I'd rather go to Lake Placid for the JUNIOR Grand Prix event, not the Senior GP event. For one thing, the weather is a lot better in September than in November, and for another, the tickets are much, much cheaper. And most important: there's no need to shell out $$ well in advance for a roster of skaters that may or may not be in attendance when the actual competition takes place.
OK, now I'm getting sore. For all those non-New Yorkers out there, Lake Placid is in the Adirondacks, one of the most beautiful places in the Eastern USA. It's a beloved vacation area for anyone who loves mountains and lakes. Give yourself time to drive around and enjoy the scenery and if possible hike a little. There are loads of restaurants and you'll be breathing Olympian air. Don't listen to chuckm, listen to me! Go, New York! Go, Becky, Caroline, Ashley, Rachael and *Sasha*!
(I've only lived in NJ for two years.)
I have been to Lake Placid and agreed, it is a beautiful place to go at the end of summer. But in winter, it's a tough sell, given the snowfall in the region.
If Caroline gets SA, she may also be competing against YuNa since Canada will have Joannie for SC and possibly Yukari as well as Rachael.Throw in Mirai and Caroline may go walking. It's all specs, and we have to wait for this secret draw. I like Caroline more than than the others including Sasha but she has to prove herself as unpressured like Kwan. She hasn't quite done that yet.
Caroline's been doing well with her publicity so far. To push her ahead of the others would not be fair. Wait for Olys results. As for wheaties, I refuse to eat or buy anything that General Mills makes because the face of Greg Louganis was refused and you know why.Anyway, if I were Shep Goldberg (Caroline's agent) I would be lobbying the uSFSA as hard as I could to get Caroline's face on U.S. television as much as possible between now and the Olympics. It might mean a Wheaties box for her!
Indeed, I believe NBC still holds the best cards in this game, but they want a WINNER, and not Japanese. No?
I know how much you care for Sasha, but we are talking about the gateway to the Olys. Sasha can get to Vancouver by just getting the ok from the USFS without doing SA. Of course she has to make an impression at Nats unless she wins it. I think it would be a mistake if she does a GP event with the blessing of an exception by the ISU because she is under tremendous pressure as it is. If she loses the GP, she will have to win the Nats - repeat WIN the Nats whereas if she skips SA, she will not have to win the Nats but just make a fantastic showing that she is competitive.The USFS could still deny Cohen that spot and send her elsewhere in order for Nagasu or Zhang to have a shot. Frankly, I think that would be a mistake. I think the way to do it is to go ahead and offer Cohen that third spot, but to make doubly sure that the alternate (whomever it is) is ready for the event in the likely case that Cohen withdraws.
My specs on SA and also on Sasha will rest until the Draw for SA is announced, and WOW! what an announcement that will be on many levels. A few weeks more?
That would be the Junior Grand Prix Finals last year.
Unless you mean the Texas Relays half mile.
Bereswill (also) competes in track and cross country races for Episcopal High School, where she is a senior honor student.
Bereswill specializes in the half mile run and 4x800 meter relay. "Running was just something I picked up to help my skating," she said. "Then the track coach recruited me to run."
She medaled at the conference championships in 2007 in the half mile. Last year, Her 4x800-meter relay team won the high school division gold medal at the Texas Relays, setting a school record pace. Her team has won the conference championship two years in a row.
What a gal! Talk about a winner.
I had no idea Bereswill did track as well.
But I know this: she's a hometown girl.

There is some great tigerdirect logic.
"Hmmmm, I don't run, use or even care about linux but I'll go check some linux forums for Microsoft deals."
Every successful business knows their target consumer and how to reach them. Apparently this escapes Tiger Directs fantastic marketing team.
How do you think this is helping a thread called Tiger Direct Is Horrible?
Your pricing is horrible, items are more expensive at TD and people apparently have issues with your shipping and RMA's. Not one of your posts have addressed any of these concerns. All you are doing here is advertising for your own well being on someone elses (Michael's) dime. You wanna help out, buy some advertising space on Michaels site and quit spamming the forums for your own financial rewards.
How old are you?
I have done everything to try and be available to assist in anyone who has a direct concern. I am simply an Coporate Account Rep, who found this Bad posting about Tiger Direct and trying to, in my own small way make things better... I am not spamming looking for $50.00 orders..
But, just trying to help out....
Nothing more...
Interesting thread. As mentioned by sloggerKhan, Newegg's advanced search feature is a MAJOR attraction and always makes them my first stop. It makes it very east to examine components to find the combination of features I need, or at least the best combination available. (hint, hint, Mr. Winkowski). Their shipping is low to reasonable and fast too.
That said, Tigerdirect has GREAT prices on UPSes. I have three and they are still doing their jobs. No problems in 4 years, despite many power failures out in the Florida swamps. :-) The one time I did need customer service they seemed eager to please and did.
For things like SATA, IDE cables, fans, etc. coolerguys.com has good prices and fast shipping, though cross country shipping costs are high.
I like that resellerratings.com site. Newegg is 9.86/6month and 9.74/lifetime now. Tigerdirect is 7.91/6month and 6.93/lifetime now, not sure where the 4.xx came from.

Nice Post, I will make my bosses aware of the New Egg search style, not sure how far that will go, but I will try.
NewEgg is a good company on price, but they have a very slack customer service department and do not have the capabilities to accept business Purchase Orders.
BTW, our warehouse is in Naperville, IL and we just adjusted all of our shipping cost, I agree they were a little high, but check us out now as they have come down.
We recently bought CompUSA, so you should start seeing more of a Tiger Presence in the Retail Market, even though I think the plans are to keep the Comp name. (Not 100%, it is above my pay grade)
Cheers, and hope people will give Tiger a second look.
