Real Madrid v Man City
Marcelo 76′ Benzema 87′ Ronaldo 90′
Dzeko 69′ Kolarov 85′
Cristiano Ronaldo's last-minute winner gave Real Madrid a thrilling victory over Manchester City in a pulsating Champions League clash at the Bernabeu.
City keeper Joe Hart kept his side in the game before they took a shock lead through Edin Dzeko's breakaway goal.
Marcelo equalised with a deflected shot but City led again when Aleksandar Kolarov's free-kick flew straight in.
In a frantic finale, Karim Benzema levelled before Ronaldo's shot flew past an unsighted Hart to win it.
That brought a spectacular sliding celebration from Real boss Jose Mourinho - who had questioned his side's focus and commitment in recent days - and provided an extraordinary finish to a game which had been completely one-sided for long periods.
The Spanish side dominated until Dzeko put City ahead after the hour mark, with Hart rescuing his side on several occasions.
Real's Bernabeu record
If Manchester City had held on to win at the Bernabeu, it would have been the first time in Real Madrid's history that the nine-times European Cup champions had fallen to defeat in their first home match of the competition, a record now consisting of 41 wins and two draws, the most recent of which came against Anderlecht, exactly 50 years ago.
But, having led with less than three minutes remaining, Roberto Mancini's men will still feel they should have won the game, let alone finish up empty-handed as they began their campaign in Group D.
A trip to the home of the Spanish champions always looked a tough way for City to begin their task of reaching the knockout stages for the first time, especially because there was no sign of any lethargy or discontent in the Real camp.
They took the game to City from the start and, inside the first five minutes, Ronaldo tested Hart for the first time when he cut inside Vincent Kompany and fired in a low shot that was heading for the bottom corner until the England keeper clawed it to safety.
That set the pattern for the rest of the first half, with Ronaldo giving Maicon a torrid time down City's right, while Angel di Maria and Alvaro Arbeloa saw plenty of the ball on the opposite flank.
Hart had to come to City's rescue again with an instinctive block to keep out Gonzalo Higuain's header from Ronaldo's cross-shot, before racing off his line to close down Higuain after he beat the offside trap.
By now, Real were completely dominant and City were also grateful for some poor finishing from Higuain and Sami Khedira, who both missed the target from point-blank range.
Tellingly, Yaya Toure was City's only attacking outlet before the break, twice causing the Real defence problems after running at them from deep positions but failing to find a decisive final ball.
He was to put that right in style when he again charged forward and fed Dzeko, who steadied himself before firing home.
The goal came completely against the run of play, but it was almost followed by a second for the visitors when Carlos Tevez slipped Toure free. However he was off balance when he let fly inside the box and could only fire into the side netting.
Mourinho made a flurry of changes in a bid to rescue the game, with Benzema and Luka Modric both flung on, and in the end the home side's pressure told.
Marcelo, who had earlier gone close with two fizzing efforts from the edge of the box, made it third time lucky when he stepped inside Vincent Kompany and saw his shot come off Javi Garcia and fly into the net.
The visitors remained on the back foot but they also remained a threat at the other end, and Kolarov restored their lead when he bent the ball straight into the net from 25 yards out.
Again, the travelling fans scented what would have been a famous triumph but, once more, Real came forward, with Benzema turning inside Matija Nastasic before finding the bottom corner to make it 2-2.
From being on the brink of victory, City were now clinging on for a point. There was yet more drama to come, however, and it was former Manchester United star Ronaldo who would provide it.
With the 90 minutes almost up, he cut inside from the left and, after Kompany ducked under his shot, the ball cruelly fizzed past the helpless Hart.

LAME high bitrate files in l3codeca.ax |
LAME high bitrate files in l3codeca.ax |

I found a problem with LAME high bitrate CBR files (256 kbps and 320 kbps only it seems) when playing them back using l3codecx.ax. It happens only when the decoder decodes a frame of silence (where LAME produces some version messages and 0x55 fillup bytes to keep up to a constant bitrate). After that the decoder will not produce sound anymore, but only silence. It also happens when such a silence frame occurs somewhere in the middle of a file. EDIT: It's not a problem with the ACM filter it's a problem with the DirectShow filter for MP3 decoding that comes with Windows. The version info says: MPEG Layer 3 Audio Decoder version 1.5 (build 50). This filter is called l3codecx.ax, not l3codeca.acm Is this a known problem? Any easy solutions for it? FhG encoded high bitrate CBR files don't have this problem (it fills up with 0xFF and no version messages). Menno This post has been edited by menno: Jan 4 2006, 16:21 |

Hmm, now I notice that with --strictly-enforce-ISO a 32kHz file with 320kbps does not decode with this decoder (unless I skip the silence). This 7680 bit frame_size limit, is it the limit for the frame (header to header), for a granule or for the main_data? I don't really understand much of what is written about it in the specification.

New Quarry Restaurant Bar & Lounge in Tuckahoe - date for Grand Opening
- 10 Comments
- Follow
Does anyone know the date for the Grand Opening of this restaurant? I see some of the window coverings are down and it looks like some gorgeous renovations have been done to the place. I'm looking forward to this new locale of Joe's Quarry Inn. Hope it will be open in time for St. Patrick's day. It looks like they are close.
I was at the "old" one about a year and a half ago. Great food. Had no idea that they closed. Where is the new one located? Bigger location?
re: chloe4ever
Joe's Quarry Inn is still open. I don't know the details of what is going to happen to that place, I hear it will remain open? The current owner of Joe's Quarry Inn is opening a new location at 108 Main Street in Tuckahoe. It's definitely a bigger location and from the looks of it, the place will be much nicer! It will have a bar/lounge area and then the restaurant.
re: imm08
Sounds great. I really like the original; awesome burgers. I will have to try the new location. I wonder how different the menu will be at this location.
The Quarry Inn is set for a soft opening on Friday 3/12. I believe it's official opening is going to be on the 15th, but I'm not certain. I've seen the bar and it's much bigger than the one in the old place on Marbledale. It's where the old Thomas Stone was.

re: GIOny
The grand opening with full menu was Friday night. I was there for brunch on Sunday. Had the Eggs Florentine and ordered hash browns and corned beef hash. The hash had huge chunks of corned beef. Not sure if it will be a staple on the menu, or leftover from St. Paddy's but it was some of the best hash I've ever tasted. Had a decent crowd for a beautiful Sunday afternoon.
Had two meals recently at the new Quarry. For lunch I had the steak sandwich. Now when I hear steak sandwich, I don't immediately think of melted cheese and sauteed onions. I think steak. Well that's what I got. A delicious and large portion of sliced steak, cooked perfectly medium rare like I ordered. A nice soft wedge roll which soaked up all the juices. I added about two shakes of pepper and one of salt and I was loving it. It came with a side of fries, buit I substituted mac & cheese. Also delicious, even though I've somewhat stopped eating pasta.
For dinner I had a special burger (I believe it was called the greek burger). Basically it's similar to one of their flatbrad pizzas, but on a burger. A nice 9 oz patty, once again cooked to perfection, on top it was literally loaded with goat cheese, sauteed onions and arugula. The balance was perfect. I literally had so much leftover onion and arugula that had fallen off, it was like having a side dish. The burger came with fries, which I had this time. They are the battered variety, which I don't really like that much, but not too bad. That for me is strictly a personal preference.

Half Price Books, Second Chapter: Borders's Future May Include Selling Used Books
Photos by Harry Wilonsky |
In today's Wall Street Journal, Borders president Mike Edwards gives his first interview since bankruptcy and hints at the future of what remains of Tom and Louis Borders's company:
Mr. Edwards said that he would like to have 15,000 square feet reserved for books. Remaining space could go to a cafe, children's books and educational toys and games, and consumer electronic products. Borders may also seek to add used books, an area that Mr. Edwards said is doing well online.My wife and son went to the Preston Royal location this afternoon; spring break and all. And still they left with nothing -- not even the $20 stool on sale on the other side. Unlike when they go to the actual Half Price Books.

Seattle man challenges ban on guns in city parks, citing Second Amendment
By Susan Gilmore
The Seattle Times
SEATTLE - A Seattle man who took a gun into a Seattle community center to challenge the city's ban on guns in city parks filed a lawsuit Friday against the city and Mayor Greg Nickels.
Bob Warden, 44, an attorney, said the right to bear arms is guaranteed by the Second Amendment and that states and local governments cannot ban the carrying of handguns for self-defense. Warden said he's had a concealed-weapons permit since the early 1990s and is a certified pistol instructor.
He carried his Glock pistol into the Southwest Community Center - run by Seattle Parks and Recreation - on Nov. 14 and immediately was asked to leave, which he did. But he vowed to file a lawsuit over Nickels' new ban on carrying guns in certain park facilities.
The ban went into effect in October, and since then the National Rifle Association and other gun-rights organizations and individuals have filed suit against the city.
But Warden said those plaintiffs might not have standing because they haven't been denied admission to a city facility.
The Second Amendment allows states to regulate the manner of carrying handguns, says Warden's lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle. And state Attorney General Rob McKenna said after the gun ban was announced that state law generally pre-empts local authority to adopt firearms regulations. McKenna's opinion was included in Warden's suit.
Nickels argues state law does not prohibit a property owner from imposing conditions on the possession of firearms on his or her property. The mayor contends a municipal property owner such as Seattle can impose limits on firearms as a condition of entry or use of particular facilities, especially those where children are likely to be.
Warden had announced earlier that he planned to test the law by trying to carry his gun into the West Seattle community center, and officials were ready for him.
"At the time Warden was expelled, the facility was bustling with weekend activity," he said in his lawsuit. "A large number of individuals of all ages were enjoying unrestricted access. ... Warden was singled out, and was alone in not being allowed to enjoy the various events and services provided to the general public only because Warden was exercising his constitutional and legal right to carry a pistol."
Warden said he is seeking "nominal damages" of $1, plus attorney fees and court costs.
He said he wants the court to award punitive damages against Nickels "to be sufficient to effectively deter future Washington municipal officials from behaving with reckless or callous disregard for federally protected rights."

So I THINK i have felt a little movement. But I'm not sure. I havent felt anything for sure. Im 18 wk 5 d. I know the range you start feeling the baby its just so frustrating because thats like the most commonly asked question I get! It kind of makes me feel like crap when people ask me that. Like I have a tiny belly... I havent really felt anything, leave me alone!! I always reply, not really, when they ask if ive felt the baby yet. Its just one question that really irks me. I want to feel it and makes me feel like crap with people always asking me if ive felt it yet. Like no! I think I would talk about how awesome it was if i did. grr. just needed to vent.
Grr... Haven't obviously felt the baby yet...!

Just be patient. I'm 22 weeks, today and I didn't feel real identifiable movement until 2 nights ago. And there was no mistaking what it was! I actually saw my belly move with some of the kicks! It's going to happen soon, you'll see. I felt the same way at 18 weeks, so I understand.

I am 18/3 today and think...not sure...but think I feel something...
When people ask i just say no...but looking forward to it....!!
Good luck...it will come...

I'm with you! It is annoying to have people ask you and tell you that you should be feeling it soon...and really you haven't yet and feel like something is wrong.
I'm in the same boat. I thought I felt something but then nothing week later. To the point that every morning I lay on my back and poke my tummy hoping to feel something. Most say that it happens around 20th week.
im 22 weeks and havent felt her yet at all, but i know shes in there because i look huge
I'm 19w and 3 days, same deal...I think there's a good chance I've felt him, but I'm certainly not sure enought to answer yes when people ask. We'll get there!
Simon Russell arrived 8/26/09, 8lbs 2oz, 20 1/2 inches
Nathaniel Benjamin arrived 11/14/11, 7lbs 11oz, 20 1/2 inches
trust me, ladies, you'll know it when you feel it! Everyone says it feels like fluttering. But that isn't the case at all for me. It feels like there's a baby doing somersaults and kicking inside of me. No mistaking it. Now that it finally started, it's constant!

and our new arrival- Gordon 2-27-13
I'm pg with #2 -- 18w3d today, and I haven't felt a thing. Had a dr's appt. this morning and she said to relax. She thinks I won't feel anything for another 3-4 weeks (not sure why.)
There have been times when I thought -- oh there it is, but then I'm like "who am I kidding". I know what it feels like, and I'm pretty sure I've only felt some gas bubbles. It is a definite GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
I know it is frustrating. I am 18w 3day and this is my 4th baby and I only feel movenment once in a while and not everyday. It sucks. I want to feel baby all the time. It will happen really soon, but I totally understand how you are feeling!
mom to Ethan 9/02 Evan 9/04 Lily 4/07 and Cohen due 8/29/09 but arrived on 8/31
My hands are full but so is my heart!
I was about 19 weeks when I started to feel movements, and even then I didn't know for sure that it was. Everyone always says it feels like fluttering, but for me it was like a tapping. At first it was weak enough that it felt like gas bubbles, but now that I'm into my 20th week, I can certainly tell thats what it is.

Big Live Live Show Live 2015 - Part 03
$35 for new and current members!
Mortal Kombat X moves forward with a snappier version of the previous game's fighting and some cool new characters, but the story and other features around the edges feel a bit rough in spots.
The ways that Axiom Verge resembles Metroid help set up and drive home the ways that Axiom Verge is most definitely not Metroid.
Hotline Miami's thrillingly brutal gameplay is stretched to the point of breaking in this aesthetically pleasing, but otherwise disappointing sequel.
Game » consists of 6 releases. Released Nov 13, 2011
Basically, he's the big Boo. The leader of the legions of Boo, even though he has an equally big problem with shyness as his underlings.
Boom Boom is the loyal servant of Bowser, found in every castle as a pre boss in Super Mario Bros 3 before the actual battle.
Bowser is one of the most iconic villains in gaming. His role as the main antagonist in the Mario franchise has cemented this King of Koopas' status in video game history.
One half of the deadly twosome, the Hammer Bros. from Super Mario Bros fame. They jump from platform to platform in a seemingly random pattern throwing goshdarn hammers!
Kamek is a Magikoopa and a well recognized enemy in many Mario games. This wizard can been seen from Super Mario World for the SNES all the way to New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Kamek traditionally shoots a magic attack at you.
Luigi is Mario's brother. He began as a simple palette swap of Mario, but was later differentiated. In his later forays, he provides comic relief.
Originally a carpenter named Jumpman, this Italian plumber has gone on to become the most recognizable video game character of them all, starring in a veritable pantheon of titles like kart racing and sports. He has been voiced by Charles Martinet for nearly 20 years.
Princess Peach Toadstool is usually the damsel in distress from the Mario franchise. She gets kidnapped frequently by Bowser, though she's not averse to being captured by various other villains from time to time.
Toad is a member of the Toad species. He is a loyal attendant of Princess Peach and often assists Mario on his journeys in a variety of ways.
Wendy is Bowser's fifth child and only daughter.

Towing A Boat

Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts
Rep Power:
I have a light weight 24 foot yacht.
I have towed heavier yachts for a couple of hours to get them to a comfortable location after their engine failed.
I use a bridle across the stern and have a nylon rope that has proven excellent for control and stretch.
The bridle allows my yacht to steer easily while maintaining full power for the tow.
When I first started sailing, I was cautioned about recieving a tow from the police or local volunteer rescue services. Yacht club rescue boats were prefered for safety. The reason was many power boat operators were not aware of the effects ofhull speed for displacement hulls. The larger planning rescue boats did not steer properly without a lot of power which would overload the yacht being towed.
Its important the person towing understands the characteristic of the boat being towed.
In calm conditions, I helped 3 yachts (engineless) return to the club with a sick 6hp outboard on the J24. They had no option and I was not in a hurry so the yachts formed a daisy chain and I powered the little 6hp at about half throttle for an hour or so to return everyone.
My point is you can move a lot with a small engine providing the conditions are suitable.
Additionally you can damage a yacht too easily when towing it with a high powered craft, particularly if the towing craft has trouble holding course at the displacement speed of the yacht.
When towing, always have a knife ready to cut lines in an emergency.

This extensively-updated text is designed to promote excellence in pediatric nursing care, in both acute care settings and in the community. CHILD HEALTH NURSING, 3/e focuses on helping students synthesize new knowledge, apply evidence-based findings, collaborate with children, families, and other healthcare professionals, and use clinical reasoning to plan superior care. It views families as integral participants in all care, and recognizes that all children need health promotion and maintenance interventions, wherever they seek care or whatever conditions they are experiencing. This edition uses current NANDA International diagnoses, Nursing Intervention Classifications (NIC), Nursing Outcomes Classifications (NOC), and Healthy People 2020 recommendations. Sample nursing care plans help students apply developmental, psychosocial, and physiologic concepts to the care of children with specific conditions. Research, clinical reasoning, and evidence-based practice are emphasized and integrated throughout, and coverage of contemporary topics ranges from genomics to new pharmacological treatment options.

Mt Everest and K2 Summiter: Ivan Vallejo Kangchenjunga 2006: GIVING UP AT TWO HUNDRED METERS FROM THE SUMMIT
Dear friends: GIVING UP AT TWO HUNDRED METERS FROM THE SUMMIT
Human character is like a balance: carefulness in on one side and audacity is on the other. The shy careful one and the indiscrete audacious are balances with just one arm, useless junk.
Angel Ganivet
The alarm clock rings at eleven thirty and I start to melt snow to fill the canteens, despite being at 7,800m I feel good with my acclimatization, because I feel nauseous but not much, and that is good.
At two in the morning I am the first one out, despite the cold it is not difficult to put on my crampons and to tie on the harness, then Juan, Mikel, Ferr�n, Josu and finally Fernando come out.
Because of my debt of the previous day, I go ahead to start opening the trail. At two ten in the morning we leave C4 towards the summit. I get into the snow with enthusiasm, with vigor, with strength, I don�t have the pain of the heavy backpack on me to make me useless. I climb up opening the trail dying of happiness! The agreement is that each one will do this job for half an hour; Juan is climbing behind me, he takes his turn and I go to the end of the line. This firefly of twelve feet goes climbing over the steep slope of Kangchenjunga.
When my turn comes again, my thirty minutes of meditation come, my entire body making zen, living this unique moment of the exercise of breathing and climbing. My mantra is the sound, the action of breaking the snow, stepping deep, to impulse and make exactly the same with the other foot, while I breath deeply hoping that the poor oxygen we have gets into my lungs and from there it spreads to my blood. Those thirty minutes are precious, not thinking blankly, just waiting the chatzzz! of the boot when it goes down deep to make it be in rhythm while I inhale and exhale. The time doesn�t matter, I just climb and while I do it my teammates and me get the benefit of it. I never know when my turn ends, Juan always pats me with the sky cane and gets me out of it, and he goes ahead and opens the trail.
In one of the following turns, I lose the concentration halfway, the toes of my left foot ache a lot because of the cold, I try to move them so that they won�t get colder and I momentarily feel afraid of what may happen to me, but I feel comfort thinking that everybody is going through the same. You know, when everybody hurts� On the next turn I rest, take out the canteen, hydrate and read that the thermometer is 28 degrees C below zero. That�s why, mother! We advance, we climb, we breath, we feel sleepy, we complain of the cold, but we continue climbing.
Finally the sun shows up but far away from us, since we are on the South wall we won�t get it! With the light I can manage to see where our BC is and I think about my tent, I miss it because it should be lit by the sun and warm. I think about the song we all parents sing sometime or another to our kids: sun, little sun, warm me up, today and tomorrow�
At 10 in the morning we finish the Handrail and we turn right to the corridor that leads us to the summit, at 8,586m. We stop again and Mikel decides to go back, he is very worried about one of his feet, he doesn�t feel it at all and says: I don�t want to go through Zaragoza, thinking about the very famous MAS Clinic, with Dr. Kiko Arregui as head of staff, specialized in frostbite and amputations.
On the corridor the snow is lose but between Juan and I we take care of it. An hour later, at eleven, that milky sky gets it together and it starts to snow. We don�t pay attention and we continue climbing. I face a long piece of line, over a horrendous lose and dangerous snow. Sometimes I go deep down to my waist and when the crust breaks all the snow falls on my teammates in pieces and dust. That part is not long but it is exhausting in those conditions. I reach an old line and I ask for relief. It is now noon and the snow has turned into a blizzard that hits us hard on our bodies and faces; I check the altimeter and it reads almost 8,300: two hundred meters away from the summit, I think. I also check the barometer and it says the storm is getting worst.
In the middle of all this we have a meeting. How much is left? Should we go on or not? Should we wait or not? Can we continue in these conditions? The blizzard shakes us hard and leaves no room to think.
Should we go down? Yes. What a shame, we go down!
Shitty weather forecast. Wasn�t the 19th the day for the summit? Why, why us? I zip up my feather jacket and I continue following the steps of Juan, Ferr�n, Josu and Fernando.
I cant believe it: two hundred meters from the summit after almost twelve hours of work.

Released: Jul 01st, 1993
Running Time: 56
Director: Jay Dee
Company: B & D Pleasures (Bon Vue)
Jay Dee, Greta Carlson
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Specialty
This is one of the better tapes I've seen in this genre, as it portrays with some accuracy the psychological aspects of role playing games. It begins with a "reporter" from B&D Pleasures "interviewing" Jay Dee about bondage games, and ends up with Jay Dee and Gretta playing out the scenario described in the interview. Seerns that the couple's "thing" is finding a fairly public place and leaving Gretta tied up for awhile —with the added edge of excitement being that she might be discovered by a total stranger. In this case, the viewer knows that the "stranger" is actually Jay Dee, but even so, the illusion works quite well. For those stores with a B&D section, this tape will make a great addition.

Haha darn, you got me with the total defensive interceptions. I was doin calculations to see if 19 passing TD's and 25 rushing TD's would be close to 30 pts a game and if you add in extra points and an average of 1.5 field goals a game, its almost dead on!
I could definitely see these stats being very very close to the truth. Our defense is going to be incredible this year. From watching them in the spring and in the bowl game, I've seen some amazing stuff from this group. Everyone needs to make sure and enjoy this season because it's gonna be something special!

Poor Design(ers)
If you've got half a mind to be an editor, that's all you need.
Pardon the interruption. Between technical, logistical, and temporal conflicts, I've been remiss. For example, I had to finish up this piece for the Financial Times, which was kind of fun because it's not often that something I write provokes critical comment from the President of the Royal Society. What can I say? His response affirmed my essential point: scientists are every bit as vested in their expertise as lawyers and lobbyists. Remember that delightfully cynical George Bernard Shaw line? All professions are conspiracies against the laity …
Which is a natural transition for yet another piece I wrote for someone else, except this essay-lette was cavalierly canceled at the last moment. It was originally for Business Week (notice the absence of a link) and describes my brief tenure as a judge for the Industrial Design Society of America's global design competition.
I confess that I had a hoot of a time and learned a lot–both about design and about myself. More important, I gained a very keen insight into the way that great design does–and does not–align with great innovation. You're fully welcome to disagree (this was originally written in July), just as did Lord Rees. But if you do disagree, please make a better argument.
Serving on a criminal jury exposes one to unpleasant realities about the legal system and human nature. Serving on a design jury, on the other hand, merely exposes you to unpleasant truths about corporate innovation and creative talent.
Much to my surprise, being a design juror gave me a far more useful and revealing glimpse into pop culture than a criminal trial. The experience radically altered my perceptions–and preconceptions–of how designers design and what "good design" really means. I literally do not look at "designed" objects or services the same way anymore. Neither would you.
I am not a designer. Nevertheless, I was asked to serve as a juror on the Industrial Design Society of America's prestigious International Design Excellence Awards. Apparently, my research on innovative prototyping, along with my work with design-oriented innovators, made my participation appealing. My fellow jurors were a global mix of world-class designers from industry and academe. They were uniformly smart, talented, articulate, and passionate about great design. Here was their chance–here was our chance–to examine hundreds of submissions from around the world and select the very best examples of great design. What a fantastic opportunity.
I thought I'd have a terrific time kicking back, listening and learning how designers drew distinctions between the mediocre and the magnificent. Instead, what I discovered were profound–and angry–disagreements over the very essence of design value. For example, a hardcore group of jurors took a hard-line approach that great design was what resonated with their design sensibilities. They took an unabashedly, unashamedly elitist view that their training, experience, and professionalism gave them special insights into greatness. They were ardent and articulate champions of their choices.
On the other side, an equally adamant faction emphasized that excellence was better measured by how well customers and users were integrated into the design process. Great designs were designs that real people felt great about using and experiencing. The "design populists" argued that the elegance so valued by the elitists shouldn't trump the importance of users in defining value. Yes, voices were raised; designers are passionate people.
Provocative arguments swirled around the importance of design interfaces, accessibility, and ease of use. A majority of the jurors agreed that usability was an integral part of great design but merely one of many factors to judge. A vociferous minority insisted that ease of use and accessibility are what truly drives great design in this postindustrial Google era. You couldn't predict where the populists or elitists would fall on this issue.
Unsurprisingly, world-class designers believe that design is a medium and method with which to change the world for the better. So several heated conversations revolved around what kind of "message" a jury ward might send about a) the environment, b) sustainability, c) children's education, d) safety, etc. Corporate designers who were exquisitely sensitive to the issue of brand as an organizing business-design principle had friendly quarrels with the independent designers who saw design as a medium to redefine or revolutionize brand perceptions.
By far the most striking revelation for me was the collective designer obsession with detail. You've no doubt heard the phrase "God is in the details" or "The devil is in the details"? This design jury had heaven and earth covered. You can talk "brand" or "vision" or "concept" or "insight" or "elegance" until you're blue in the face, but world-class designers care about how those ideals are expressed in the details. Something that I would dismiss as a niggling detail the designers would say revealed the essential point they were trying to make. Great design is about the ordering and intention of details that you can–or aren't supposed to–see and feel.
Yes, the Big Idea matters enormously. But world-class designers insist that the matrices and arrays of little details reflect and respect the Big Idea. By the fifth or sixth hour of deliberations, I realized that I could never be a designer. For me, precision of detail is a means to an end. For a designer, the precision is both a means and the end. That's what "design integrity" means to a design professional. That's why the arguments over usability vs. elegance vs. accessibility were so intense. These were battles over integrity.
Integrity is a terrific value to fight about. That helps explain why so many entrepreneurs and executives find designers naive idealists who refuse to understand the trade-offs that business demands. However, it also explains the sustainable successes of Steve Jobs and design-centric companies like Bang & Olufsen. Design integrity may not be essential to innovation success, but it holds the undeniable power to be transformational.
My verdict: it's easier for a criminal jury to reach consensus around guilt or innocence than for a design jury to find a majority around great design. For some reason, I find that exhilarating.

Thanks for bringing this up. The current SL and ST fits are finalized and will not be changed going forward. For those who might want the pockets to sit higher, you might want to consider our CS-100x cut that will be coming out later this summer. This is the straighter leg, higher rise jean that sazon mentioned; CS is named for "Classic Straight" as it's a more vintage inspired fit.

Fall 2011 Paris Fashion Week's Top Bags You Won't Want to Live Without!
>> Hannah MacGibbon did bucket bags at Chloe and Valentino sent out delicate shoulder bags, but really, when it came right down to it, Paris designers had a one-track mind this season: clutches, clutches, and more clutches. See our favorites handbags, overwhelmingly of the clutch variety, in the slideshow — including the Dries Van Noten stunner, at left.

There might be three standards, but if the article is to be believed they aren't exactly competing.
One (Qi) is supported by several major handset manufactorers. Another is in bed with Starbucks (USA?). The third doesn't even get a mention beyond that it exists. Given that Starbuck's products don't need wireless charging it would seem any war has already been won by Qi.

The Final Inspection
The warrior stood and faced God,
Which will always come to pass,
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass."Step forward now, old warrior,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"The warrior squared his shoulders and
Said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
'Cause those of us who carry guns
Can't always be saint."I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
'Cause the world is awfully rough."But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,"And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears."I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears."If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand. In life
I didn't expect nor need too much,
So if you don't, I'll understand."There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the warrior stood quietly.
For the judgment of his God."Step forward now, my warrior,
You've born your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."Author Unknown

Virtual Cooperation for Throughput Maximization in Distributed Large-Scale Wireless Networks

EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing 2011, 2011:184685 doi:10.1155/2011/184685
Published: 3 November 2010Abstract
A distributed wireless network with links is considered, where the links are partitioned into clusters each operating in a subchannel with bandwidth . The subchannels are assumed to be orthogonal to each other. A general shadow-fading model described by the probability of shadowing and the average cross-link gains is considered. The main goal is to find the maximum network throughput in the asymptotic regime of , which is achieved by: (i) proposing a distributed power allocation strategy, where the objective of each user is to maximize its best estimate (based on its local information) of the average network throughput and (ii) choosing the optimum value for . In the first part, the network throughput is defined as the average sum-rate of the network, which is shown to scale as . It is proved that the optimum power allocation strategy for each user for large is a threshold-based on-off scheme. In the second part, the network throughput is defined as the guaranteed sum-rate, when the outage probability approaches zero. It is demonstrated that the on-off power scheme maximizes the throughput, which scales as . Moreover, the optimum spectrum sharing for maximizing the average sum-rate and the guaranteed sum-rate is achieved at .

The unbridled approach to exploitation of mountain resources has contributed to the Uttarakhand disaster, say experts. Chandra Bhushan, Deputy Director-General, Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi: "There is a connection between deforestation, construction, and the property of soil to retain water. Dams and other constructions reduce the absorbing capacity of soil."
Prof. Maharaj K. Pandit, researcher, Department of Environmental Studies, University of Delhi: "Dams cannot be solely held responsible for the situation in Uttarakhand. Urbanisation, tourism and religious pilgrimage are other reasons. That dams aggravate the situation is a fact, but they are not the only reason."
Ravi Chopra, member, National Ganga River Basin Authority: "Fissures in mountains are a source of springs, providing water to villages in hills. But tunneling of rivers has dried up these sources and tunnel leaks make soil loose."

Veterans Day: Mission to Heal
By Rick Loomis
"My vision here today is to at least reach out to one vet who is suffering," said Iraq war veteran Tom Woods during a speech he gave while standing in the shadow of the battleship Iowa in San Pedro on Saturday afternoon. Scanning the crowd, Woods adds, "Somewhere out here is a man who needs help, standing in this very parking lot."
But Woods has not always been in a position to help other vets. Woods, once a sergeant in the Army, struggled mightily to reintegrate after returning home from the war in Iraq. He hit bottom when he got three consecutive drunk-driving citations, which led to the family's being evicted from their home, and ended up in jail.
Reporter Chris Goffard and I spent more than a year documenting the difficult journey he and his family faced on the road to his recovery.
On Saturday, during the second annual City of Los Angeles Veterans Appreciation Festival, Woods got a chance to tell others about the depths from which he emerged. He chose to use his speech to remind the audience of the difficulties many vets face.
"This country currently has 22 million vets just like myself," Woods said. "Some of them are suffering, whether it's from substance abuse, PTSD, depression, homelessness, thoughts of suicide and the list goes on."
In his lowest moments Woods' battled all the problems he listed. But now well into recovery, he is happy to proclaim that "today I have my family back, I'm going to school, and I'm happy."
When Woods finished his speech the first person to greet him was another veteran who Woods said had been suffering as well. Woods immediately offered his phone number and his help.
As we honor Veterans Day, it seemed appropriate to allow Tom Woods and his family's story to continue to enlighten us to the adversities that many veterans are still facing as they return home.

Also: "Healing Sgt. Warren"
Top photos: U.S. Army veteran Tom Woods delivers a speech in the shadow of the battleship Iowa during an event to commemorate Veterans Day in San Pedro. Woods recently returned from spending a year away from his family in a treatment program to deal with with alcohol addiction and PTSD. He served two tours of duty in Iraq.
Woods gets a hug from his mother Sandi Woods, after he delivered the speech.

Will GT Advanced Tech shine again?
Mike Yamamoto | [email protected]
More than 4,600 December 5 calls traded in a strong buying pattern yesterday, most of them going for $0.50. The volume was well above the strike's open interest of 2,725 contracts, indicating new activity.
These long calls, which lock in the price where traders can buy the stock, are looking for GTAT to rally above $5.50 by mid-December. But they will expire worthless if the shares remain below the $5 strike price. (See our Education section)
GTAT gapped higher by 13.85 percent to $4.11 yesterday after Canaccord Genuity upgraded the stock to a "buy" from a "hold" while raising its price target to $5 from $4. That brought the stock back above its 50-day moving average, but the shares are still 42 percent below their 52-week high of $7.09 from last September and 76.5 percent under their all-time high of $17.50 reached in July 2011.
The company, which makes photovoltaic equipment, fell hard with the collapse of the solar-technology market but is expected to benefit from the budding recovery in that industry. Perhaps more important, GTAT has been diversifying into sapphire touchscreens and other technologies with high growth potential.
Yesterday's call buying pushed total option volume in the name to 9,498 contracts, more than 33 times its daily average for the last month.

On November 21, when Forest City Enterprises stock hit a low of $3.42, I wrote, "Either Forest City Enterprises is headed for oblivion or it's a very good buy."
Well, after two days of huge leaps, it's up to $8.90. That's still way below the 52-week peak of $50.06, but investors who took the plunge less than two weeks ago have been richly rewarded.

Thetis of White Isle I think I'll try to post the new chapter two tonight. I didn't expect to add nearly two pages of material, that's what. Heh. Yeah, Kitten PM'ed me, and I sent her the link. 7/4/2010 #31 |
scharlie18 Oh, wow, that's a lot. I'll have to take a look at it, see what you added. :) Probably tomorrow morning. Just about ready to go to bed. 7/4/2010 #32 |
Thetis of White Isle I finally got around to posting a rough chapter three in the Fiction Press DocX thingie for you. Sorry it took so long! Take your time! 7/9/2010 #33 |
scharlie18 W00T! I've read it, and it looks good, I just have to do the actual beta-reading bit. Like I said in the PM, I'll probably do it sometime over the next couple days. If you don't hear back from me on that issue in a couple days, remind me. :) 7/10/2010 #34 |
Thetis of White Isle Thank you for doing this! I'll try to read anything new that you and KittenOTK did this week; I have a summer job, and it's taking up all my time. O_o; 7/12/2010 #35 |
scharlie18 Not a problem. I'm on page 4! I'll probably finish it tomorrow, or the day after. I know how you feel about the summer job, though. I only do 20hrs/week, and I still feel like it consumes my life. *eye roll* 7/12/2010 #36 |
Thetis of White Isle Thank you so very much. I don't really mind minor changes like punctuation/grammar stuff. (By the way, the Musil and the potions thing will be explained! I'll talk about it in the...fifth chapter? Or so.) Just make a notation when you're making big changes. Because I need to know these things. *looks at manuscript greedily* 7/13/2010 #37 |
scharlie18 I will definitely let you make the big changes. I'm not here to reword the story for you. Just punctuation/grammar stuff is easier just to do, than to let you know that it has to be done (especially when I have the document in front of me). I wasn't sure where you stood on that, and I can work myself up into freaking out really easily. It wasn't that I was wondering why Musil cares about the potions, so much as I think you just have the wrong word for the sentence. 'Scream' just...is kind of strange for the context. You scream for a lot of different reasons, and the image I get from that...just seems off, somehow. I think that you can choose a more precise/descriptive word/phrase for that sentence. Grammatically speaking, it's fine, so you can keep it if you want. 7/13/2010 #38 |
Thetis of White Isle Thank you. Added a couple new scenes. It doesn't flow too well in the beginning though, 'cause...yeah, you'll see. . I really should get around to reading Kitten's stuff. Just been so busy. 7/13/2010 #39 |
scharlie18 Yes, you should. You should also send me chapter 4, so I can get started. :) 7/15/2010 #40 |
scharlie18 Oh, and prepare yourself. We're about to get a lot busier. I just PM'ed Stardancere and Leslie Wilson Perry (from the Writer's Group topic where you and Kitten and I met). They are both interested in joining the forum, and so I sent them the link to the forum. Two more people! 7/15/2010 #41 |
Thetis of White Isle Two more people! Hooray for new blood! ...boy, that sounded awfully vampiric. :P 7/15/2010 #42 |
scharlie18 Yes, that did. That was kinda creeper. Jeez, Thetis, nice way to scare off so called 'new blood.' We'll probably get tagged by the FBI, now, or something. 7/15/2010 #43 |
scharlie18 Oh, Thetis, remember those word salads you made for me? I wrote the poem they were for, if you're interested. :D It's called The Beast of Fright, and it's on my profile. :D I'd love to hear what you think. 7/15/2010 #44 |
Thetis of White Isle I'll try to get around to it tonight. Wonder what you cooked up...? 7/15/2010 #45 |
scharlie18 :D I'm very proud of myself. That thing's been sitting on my desktop (unfinished) for FOREVER! Okay, so, like, a month. But, still. 7/15/2010 #46 |
L. W. Perry You could do the Character Developement Game where one person asks a question and the next person's character answers it and so on. :3 It's really popular and helpful on this other writing website/forum I'm on. 7/15/2010 #47 |
KittenOnTheKeys That sounds cool! Do you just pick any character you want from your work? 7/15/2010 #48 |
L. W. Perry Yep. 7/15/2010 #49 |
KittenOnTheKeys I'm all for playing this if everyone else wants to. 7/15/2010 #50 |
scharlie18 I'm not sure how this works. I just... Fred: Don't you dare involve me in this trivial game! I need no development. All that needs to be developed is everyone else, as they still have yet to recognize me as their imminent leader of the world. Why are you wasting your time in this stupid little game when you could be developing a plot that will get me in a seat of complete power? Sketch: *glances at Fred, then back at author* All I ask is that you never put me and him in a small, enclosed space together. If his B.O. doesn't smother me, I'm sure his ego will. randomly choose a character from a story I'm working on? I'm not sure I understand. 7/15/2010 #51 |
L. W. Perry Okay, it'd be like this: Person 1: If your life was a song, what would it be called and why? Person 2: "Funny story. My boyfriend is in love with Billy Talent and he decided to compare everyone to one of their songs. I got Saint Veronika. It's about a chick who swallows a bunch of pills to kill herself. Story of my life." Sweyn, Outsiders How do you relax after a tough day? And so on. 7/15/2010 #52 |
KittenOnTheKeys So I'll be Person 1. If you could pick anything in your life to do over again, what would it be? 7/15/2010 #53 |
scharlie18 I would answer this but 1. I'm not really sure what I'm doing and 2. I'm not really sure how anyone would answer. Well, no, that's a lie. But, given the above statement from Fred, I think you guys can guess how Fred would respond to that question. So, I'm gonna wait for someone else to pick this up. 7/15/2010 #54 |
L. W. Perry "I'd do a lot of things over. Do things I didn't have the balls to do then. Stick up to my dad, actually talk to my mom, keep it in my pants." - Scratch, Harlow Summerford What's your character's strongest memory? 7/15/2010 #55 |
KittenOnTheKeys "Seeing my mother die. It's not a memory; it's a scar." - Adrien Hael, Untitled Does your character have a hobby? 7/15/2010 #56 |
scharlie18 "A hobby? Well...I...um...I work. At a convenience store. Does that count?" -- Sam, Sketch and the Evil Mastermind What kind of music does your character listen to? 7/15/2010 #57 |
L. W. Perry "I don't care much for music myself. As a child, I took years of piano, of the violin. I hated it. Rhythm, tempo, ryhme. All these things can be found in everyday speech, in poetry. Noise. All the vast majority of it is. I don't see the appeal as others do." - Andrew, Starling You are in the home of someone you don't know very well. When that person left the room you accidentally broke something incredibly valuable. This object meant a lot to that person, and surely they will be upset. What do you do? 7/15/2010 . Edited 7/15/2010 #58 |
scharlie18 "Wait. What else can I do? Wait. That's all I ever do. I wait. Wait for it to come, wait for it to be over. I wait." -- Unnamed, on both accounts. (She's an idea I've had for a character, and I haven't really figured out much about her. But this answer just came naturally.) You are home alone. Everyone else is out, it's just you. You don't expect anyone to be back until sometime tomorrow, or the day after. What do you do? 7/15/2010 . Edited 7/15/2010 #59 |
L. W. Perry "Well, let's speak hypothetically. I don't live at home. And I had a brother who never left. So let's say hypothetcally. I'd probably blast music, smoke, be bored. I hate being alone. It sucks. ....probably'd get off if I got bored enough." - Harlow, Harlow Summerford Who did you look up to as a kid and now as a teenager/adult? 7/16/2010 . Edited 7/16/2010 #60 |
