It's pretty apparent that Ben Flajnik is ready for his journey on The Bachelor to end. Not only is he sick and tired of people talking badly about Courtney Robertson and the other women, but he feels like the producers of the show gave him a "raw deal" and made him appear to be something he isn't.
"I'm not that boring in real life," Ben told the Los Angeles Times at a behind-the-scenes taping of "The Women Tell All" special last week. "I'm just this laid back, cool, calm and collected guy that does not take himself very serious."
"You know, it's a love show. It's about love, so it's not about comedy hour and being funny and being light," Ben added. "I think I got a little bit of a raw deal on the fact that the other side of my personality — the main side of my personality — was not shown."
And Ben believes there's another person on the show whose personality wasn't made apparent on camera — Courtney. "She's got a personality that people don't get to see," he says.
Something people do get to see, though, is her attractiveness, which Ben admits wasn't necessarily his cup of tea.
"The model thing was a deterrent in the beginning," he insisted. "I specifically told the producers before I started this, 'No models. No hair and makeup people, and no fashion.' "
Yeah, yeah. So when Courtney showed up on the first night in her skin-tight black cocktail dress, Ben didn't look? Nope, he definitely did.
"They're all drop-dead gorgeous," a somewhat-fired-up Ben explained. "That's the thing I don't understand. Take a poll — I bet half of America thinks Kacie [Boguskie] is more attractive than Courtney. They're all beautiful women."
Hmm, so Ben thinks Kacie B., whom he voted off after the hometown dates, would be considered more attractive than his rumored bride-to-be? Interesting.

A part of the left ear of a panchayat official in Murshidabad district was cut off on Thursday, allegedly by supporters of the Trinamool Congress.
Hazrat Omar, an executive officer of the Debipur gram panachayat, had not come to work on Wednesday, the first day of the two-day all-India general strike called by 11 major trade unions.
"I was inside my office when supporters of the Trinamool Congress came and asked me about my absence yesterday," Mr. Omar told journalists. "They attacked me with a knife. I tried to save myself, but my ear was chopped."
The group of about 12 persons also ransacked the panchayat office and destroyed furniture and computers, he said.
A profusely bleeding Mr. Omar was admitted to a local hospital. A complaint against five persons has been lodged at the Jalangi police station.
Workers of the panchayat held protests against the attack outside the office of the Block Development Officer, Jalangi.
Headmaster assaulted
In another incident at Hariharpara in the same district, a school headmaster who directed that the institution remain closed on Wednesday was allegedly assaulted by local Trinamool Congress workers.
Manindranath Biswas was prevented from entering the Hariharpara Netaji Higher Secondary School when he arrived early in the morning. He was forced to sit in front a stage erected by the Trinamool Congress workers and tender an apology in front of the students.
After a while, Mr. Biswas felt uneasy and was taken to a local hospital by the teachers. Posters describing Mr. Biwas as an agent of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and saying "death for Manindranath" were put up near the school premises.
Biman Bose, Chairman of the Left Front committee, condemned the incidents. The administration should take immediate steps against those resposible, he said.

Kapu Tiki Apartments

Have a photo or a collectible from Kapu Tiki Apartments?
Add it to Critiki! Humuhumu's description:
This apartment building is in a row of three Polynesian-themed apartment buildings, the others being the Aloha Arms and the Paradise Island Apartments.

I drove by this building today and it looks quite different from the photo above. The A-frame entrance has apparently been completely removed. There are still a couple tiki masks on the front facade at the ends but they�re looking pretty weathered. Sorry I didn�t get any photos but, really, it�s not much to see.

ITC Gema™ font family
Designed by Claudio Rocha in 1998
ITC Gema is the work of Brazilian graphic designer Claudio Rocha. It was first written in a small size to keep the surface irregularity of a non-coated paper when enlarged for use as a display font," says Rocha. Many strokes do not quite join, giving Gema the visual effect of a stencil typeface, the distinguishing characteristic of the font. "Some characters have my own handwriting gestures," says Rocha, like elongated endings and angular shapes. Gema comes complete with an unusual variety of ligatures and alternate characters."

Have you e-mailed Garmin - I've always found them responsive & helpful.

PlayStation Vita
It's Sony's fault the Ps Vita Is not selling. But Vita owners are also to blame.
- Back To:

- Topic Archived
Two years later and The Ps Vita only has a small amount of exclusive games that would make people go out and buy the system. The support SONY promised us never came, Instead of getting Exclusive Main-entry games from established franchises, we get Spin-Offs (Most of the time Bad ones) That the majority of gamers and the Playstation community don't care about. When The 3DS came out the gate. It was flopping so hard it wasn't even funny. But Nintendo knew this and Truly Showed that Handheld consoles still have a place in the market, They pumped the 3DS with games you could not get anywhere else. The Ps Vita came out the Gate struggling. And Sony left it to rot. Instead of giving it big games, They ignored it for TWO YEARS, E3 2012 was a let down, E3 2013 was even worse. The good games the Ps Vita did get got Zero Marketing, along with the system itself. The Ps Vita was (And still is) taking a backseat to the PS3/PS4. But Vita owners were patient. And what Has it got us, Look at the 2014 Ps Vita game line-up and tell me what it has got us. As Proud Member Of the Ps Vita community (my psn ID is xymox333 if you want to see my Vita games) It is time for US to take A stand. Unless Sony See's That we want games, The Ps Vita will remain nothing more then the 200$ add-on controller for the PS4. As consumers we have more power then we realize, I ask My Fellow Vita players, to for once let Sony know we want Games, People like to say sales don't matter but they do, It Is almost a fact that everyone who has bought the Ps Vita love it, But the problem is that number is small. Third-party devs do not want to risk making a Big game and not getting any profit back, I don't blame them. Sony doesn't even want to support the system. Why should they? Indie Devs love the system but why There games Are Good, They lack people who know them meaning they do very little for Vita's hardware sales. So now It is up to Us the Ps Vita community to Get Sony remember we still exist. While a great thing Remote-play with the PS4 seems to be doing very little for Ps Vita sales. As consumers we need to Make Sony See that we Exist, Sony is not moving to change the current state the Ps Vita is in because they think we are okay with it. It Is up to us to tell them otherwise. But will we? Or will we continue to say "Wait until"? This is my opinion and you don't have to agree. But I want your thoughts. | |

That's a long post. I guess I agree somewhat, however I'm not sure what we can do to "be heard" other than twitter/emails, etc. I am buying all of the games I want on Vita as preorder and paying in full in advance. I have a feeling that Gamestop keeps my money in their back pocket and none of it goes to the developer/publisher until the sale takes place. However, I am also hoping that Gamestop is reporting this back to Sony/the developers. I email Kickstarter projects and various companies that make games using Unity. They usually don't email back and if they do it's a generic "thanks for the input". Not sure what else I can do. --- The Vita is a great system | |

Title | Aposematic colouration enhances memory formation in domestic chicks trained in a weak passive avoidance learning paradigm |
Author | Johnston, Amy Nicole Burne; Burne, Thomas H.J. |
Journal Name | Brain Research Bulletin |
Year Published | 2008 |
Place of publication | United States |
Publisher | Elsevier Inc |
Abstract | The one-trial passive avoidance learning task is commonly used in avian research to explore anatomical, cellular and molecular parameters of learning and memory. Many factors are known to influence the effectiveness and/or duration of such learning events. Combinations of novel odours, such as pyrazine, and aposematic colours, such as brig ht yellow or red, have been shown to induce a long-lasting aversion to food crumbs in 'visual' predators, including birds such as the domestic chick (1). The aim of this study was to (a) examine whether visual complexity played a role in the generation of an aversive response to a novel visual stimulus and (b) to establish whether the duration of memory of an aversive experience could be modified by altering the visual properties of the stimulus. In the first experiment, na¨ıve domestic chicks were trained on a weakly aversive one-trial passive avoidance bead task, in which chicks were allowed to peck at a bead coated with a 10% solution of the bitter-tasting and odorous substance methylanthranilate (MeA). The chicks were trained with (allowed to peck) one of four differently coloured beads dipped in 10% MeA. Chrome, black, yellowor black-and-yellowstriped beadswere used. 'Recall' of the aversive bead was examined by presenting the (clean) training bead 24 h after training and monitoring avoidance to it compared to a 'neutral' white bead. A high proportion (63%) of chicks trained with the black and yellow striped bead avoided it 24 h after training, whereas little or no avoidance was seen in response to chrome, yellow or black beads. In a second experiment na¨ıve domestic chicks were all trained once only with a black and yellow striped bead coated in a 10% MeA solution, but this time, were tested 24 h later, once only, with either a black, a yellow or a black and yellow striped bead. Nearly 60% of chicks tested with a black and yellow striped bead showed avoidance of the bead, whereas only 23% of those tested with a black bead and 14% tested with a yellow bead showed avoidance. These results confirm the importance of complex warning colouration, when paired with a novel olfactory cue and a bitter taste, in avoidance learning. We conclude that the chicks' response to monochromatic colours (e.g. yellow or black) is not affected by their previous experience with a conspicuously patterned stimulus (yellow and black stripes). Moreover, it suggests a predisposition for chicks to attend to aversive cues associated with 'naturalistic' high contrast colour cue combinations such as black and yellow. |

This 3-disc set features all 10 Season One episodes of the smart and entertaining drama that critics call "instantly likable" (USA Today).

Brutoco then directed his comments to all the young health care professionals in the room, whom he praised for being well-trained, motivated and talented. "But is your ability to care that will make you great," he noted.
"Humanism is not limited to the health professions. It is everyone's opportunity and privilege to serve others, to share positive moments and feelings, to be contributors in the community of mankind," he said. "I have seen too many physicians and other professionals limited rather than expanded by their profession. A title does not place one above a patient. Education does not compensate for diminished warmth or kindness. A skill does not make up for atrophy of one's soul. A specialty does not preclude from holistic and broad notions of wellness.
And please reject the notion that you are not supposed to get close to your patients, that you must have some distance so you don't feel their pain. You're supposed to feel what your patients feel. Do not be afraid of relating to your patients and their families, and above all do not be indifferent of suffering and of fear. That is where compassion comes from.
"Elie Wiesel is at his most powerful when he speaks about non-involvement in human suffering. 'The opposite of love is not hate. It is indifference. To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all,' " Brutoco added. "So I can sum up my encouragement to you in a single word: care. You will find yourself going above and beyond for your patients in ways you cannot now imagine. It will lead to better mind and body health for your patients, and much more fulfillment for you."
"I think we've seen the best example of the art of caring. I'm indebted to Dr. Brutoco for sharing his experiences with us," said WesternU President Philip Pumerantz, PhD. "For the audience here, let me

I cannot believe they pay $76/hour for unskilled labor. That's insane.
TO BORROW an old baseball cliché, you can't tell the players without a scorecard, or so it seemed as talks on a new labour contract got under way this week between Chrysler and the United Auto Workers (UAW) union. Negotiators for both sides showed up wearing matching maroon pullovers and there was none of the traditional rhetoric of potential confrontation. Instead of talking about "strike targets," for example, the UAW's president, Bob King, has been more likely, lately, to speak of "creative problem-solving." The American government insisted on a ban on strikes when it gave Chrysler, and its cross-town rival General Motors, billions of dollars of aid in 2009. If the talks between bosses and union leaders reach deadlock, it will go to binding arbitration.
Both sides know that this round of negotiations is anything but business as usual. What happens at the bargaining table over the next six weeks could determine the long-term viability of both the union and Detroit's Big Three carmakers. The future of all of them was in question just two years ago when Chrysler and GM were forced into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and the third domestic maker, Ford, avoiding that process only by mortgaging its assets. Although the pain was shared widely among stakeholders, workers were especially hard hit, with their union agreeing to a number of concessions that slashed all-in labour costs from around $76 an hour in 2006 to just over $50 today. The UAW reversed decades of tradition and approved a two-tier wage structure in which new hires start at roughly half the pay and benefits of more senior line workers.
That underscores one of the key differences in this year's round of contract talks. Whereas the negotiations of years past were usually about building wages and benefits, the UAW's main goal is now simply to hang on to jobs. At Chrysler, for example, the unionised workforce is currently less than a third of what it was a decade ago. The good news for the union is that it has risen by about 2,000, to 23,000, since the maker emerged from Chapter 11 in June 2009.
Less pay, more work
Holding out a carrot, Chrysler says that if the UAW keeps it competitive with the transplants—foreign-owned plants, like the Nissan assembly line in Smyrna, Tennessee, that also pay around $50 an hour—there will be even more work. The maker is looking at more than 300 projects to bring back in house work that it had, over the years, outsourced to suppliers. General Motors will be producing its new Chevrolet Sonic subcompact at a suburban Detroit plant using two-tier workers: the previous Chevy small car had been built in South Korea.
Whereas some American trade unions negotiate cross-industry contracts, the UAW has traditionally had to bargain separately with the domestic carmakers. As always, it hopes that the first agreement it reaches will set a pattern for the rest. However, the Big Three's management seem less likely to go along with that approach this time, reflecting the increasing differences between the companies.
Ford, in particular, seems ready to press the union for further concessions. Its workers have so far rejected the company's request to match those accepted by their counterparts at GM and Chrysler. The management of Ford reckon this has left its hourly labour costs several dollars higher than its rivals'. There is no strike ban at Ford, since it did not take federal bail-out money, so there is the potential, in theory, for things to turn nasty. However, Ford has not had a walkout in its American plants since Gerald Ford was in the White House, so the chances of this seem low.
Still fragile
The fragility of Detroit's Big Three was driven home this week when, on the same day bargaining began, Chrysler and Ford reported lower second-quarter earnings. The numbers were not dire and reflected a variety of factors such as weak spring car sales and some one-off charges. At Ford, these included the cost of scrapping its ailing Mercury brand. Chrysler, meanwhile, would have been more than $180 million in the black but for its decision to pay off its $7.5 billion in American and Canadian government loans six years early, accruing $551 million in non-recurring charges.
The move will save Chrysler significant amounts of money through lower interest rates. It also allowed the maker's Italian ally, Fiat, to shake off government oversight, and boost its stake in its American partner to 53.5%, a figure it has suggested could soon climb to 70%. Sergio Marchionne, who serves as chief executive of both companies, will shortly announce a streamlining of their worldwide management that will make Fiat/Chrysler look increasingly like a single outfit.
Mr Marchionne also made it clear that even without the government looking over his shoulder. things will not go back to "the days of sin," when Chrysler, like its rivals, thought any problem could be fixed by tossing more money at it, whether handing out lavish executive bonuses or offering customers huge incentives so factories could keep running despite weak demand. Naturally, Chrysler's negotiatiors in the union talks will be pushing this theme of austerity. But there seems to be a growing, and welcome, consensus that the best way to motivate workers is to let them share in the industry's ups, and downs, with an enhanced profit-sharing programme.
An agreement on this could be just what the union needs to go after its top priority other than the contract talks themselves. The UAW's membership slipped to 323,000 at the end of 2010, down from a 1979 peak of 1.53m. With two minor exceptions, the union has failed to organise workers at the growing number of foreign transplants, which now produce millions of cars, pickups and crossovers annually.
Mr King has warned makers like Toyota, Nissan and Honda that he may call for a global boycott if they continue to resist unionisation efforts, but in the end the UAW's leader will have to convince workers that it is worth their while signing up and paying their dues. After the huge concessions the UAW has had to make in recent years, employees at the non-union transplants may well wonder what they would gain from joining.
Given all the pressures on both the American Big Three's management and on the union's leadership, both sides seem to realise that it is in their interest to work together towards a deal in the coming weeks. The chances of a breakdown, and of a fresh crisis among the carmakers, seem low.

Natural History of Isolated Deep Vein Thrombosis of the Calf (CALTHRO)
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Whether isolated distal DVT (IDDVT), DVT confined to the calf, should be looked for and diagnosed to allow them to be treated with anticoagulants remains one of the still unsolved issues in vascular medicine, especially because of the insufficient data on clinical risks of untreated distal DVT. Management studies have shown that it is safe to withhold anticoagulation in outpatients with suspected DVT if compression ultrasonography (CUS) limited to the proximal deep veins yields normal results on presentation and on repeated examination after 5 to 7 days. This strategy is based on the premise that IDDVT do not need to be diagnosed and treated, what is necessary when they extend involving the proximal veins. There is no general agreement, however, on the assumption that the non-extending IDDVT do not need to be diagnosed and treated, and many authors recommend to perform a single CUS examination extended to the distal deep veins. All the available studies have treated with anticoagulants the diagnosed IDDVT and no adequate information is available on the risk of IDDVT left untreated.
The present study, performed in outpatients with suspected leg DVT, aims at assessing the clinical consequences of IDDVT diagnosed (by a complete US investigation) but not treated because the results of this investigation remain blind to both the patient and the treating doctor, whereas the diagnostic-therapeutic procedure remains the usual one, based on CUS investigation limited to diagnose proximal DVT, to be repeated after 5-7 days (or earlier) to exclude an extension to proximal veins of an IDDVT potentially present.

Groups/Cohorts | Assigned Interventions |
Outpatients with suspected leg DVT after exclusion of proximal DVT
Other: Ultrasound examination of leg veins
Outpatients symptomatic for leg DVT follow the standard diagnostic procedure (ultrasound examination of proximal deep veins, pre-test clinical probability and D-dimer, and a second US after 5-7 days) to exclude proximal DVT; they also receive by another doctor a complete US examination of the deep leg veins to assess the presence of isolated calf DVT, the results of the latter examination are kept blind to the patient and to the treating doctor, and disclosed after three months
Detailed Description:
Outpatients symptomatic for suspected DVT of a leg are examined by a vascular doctor according to standard procedure based on pre-test clinical probability (PTCP) assessment, D-dimer assay and a CUS limited to the proximal deep veins. Those in whom a proximal DVT is excluded and have intermediate/high PTCP or altered D-dimer level are eligible for the study. The included patients are immediately submitted to an extensive echo-color-Doppler examination of calf deep veins by a different vascular doctor and results are closed in an envelope that will be open after three months (or before if necessary). In the meantime, patients will follow the standard diagnostic procedure: they receive an appointment to come back in 5-7 days for a further CUS examination, or even before in case of worsening of symptoms/signs. All the included patients receive a telephone call after three months to exclude possible complications.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
outpatients with suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of a leg in whom a proximal DVT is excluded.
The study is not funded. As a result, it will not be possible to enroll all consecutive eligible patients; rather patients will be included based on the availability of expert medical staff in the day of their presentation (in general the first patient of the day).
Inclusion Criteria:
- suspected deep vein thrombosis of a leg
- intermediate/high pre-test clinical probability or high D-dimer levels
Exclusion Criteria:
- age < 18 years
- presence of proximal DVT
- suspected isolated iliac DVT

Once upon a time, streamlined WoW-style questing, raiding, and PVP felt fresh and daring. However, like most things that begin with the phrase "once upon a time," the very notion seems almost unbelievable in this day and age – more akin to a swords 'n' sorcery fairytale than actual historical fact. And so, many MMOs that were once treading water have recently realized that they were in quicksand all along. In many ways, Tera's easily as guilty as anyone else with its utterly tedious questing and tired world design, but the action-heavy MMO's hardly resting on its laurels. Its province-running political system is an attempt to add a dash of EVE-style intrigue to the tried-and-true MMO formula, and the results thus far have ranged from brilliantly outside-the-box to well inside the range of the banhammer.

Dying To Try: Tera Adds Week-Long Free Trial
By Nathan Grayson on June 15th, 2012.
As the legends tell it, once upon a time – many mist-enshrouded moons ago – MMOs demanded consistent tributes of money every month, or else they'd destroy the world. Well, their world. For you, specifically. Now, though, all but a final bastion of behemoths who practice The Old Way have moved on to F2P. One such holdout, however, is Tera, En Masse's swords 'n' sorcery to-do with a focus on bopping giant monsters and actually moving during combat. Unfortunately, its quests set the MMO level treadmill at walking pace and pipe low-volume elevator music through your headphones, so its new seven-day free trial is probably a good chance to see if enjoyable combat alone can sustain your interest.
TERA Accepting Closed Beta Applications
By Adam Smith on January 12th, 2012.
TERA is an "action MMO" with a relatively complex political system, which allows players to gain control of resources through democracy or violent monster-bashing. It's an accepted but little spoken truth that our own Nick Clegg only elevated himself to the position he fails to enjoy today by grinding rats for hours on end. Forget all that though and ask yourself one simple question: do you want the chance to join TERA's upcoming closed beta? Applications are now open and anyone registering before 11:30 CET, 13th January will have a chance to be one of the first 1,000 entrants. That's 10:30 in Blightlyland by my reckoning. More passes will be given out as the beta progresses. Europeans, sign up here. Americans here. Video below.
TERA Has A "Revolutionary" Political System
By Jim Rossignol on December 17th, 2011.
TERA's action-combat and overall ludicrous prettiness has caught my attention on occasional, but the way it ties guild quests to an overall political system is really quite something, as you can see in the video below, via PCG. You can rise to power through either a popular vote of actual players, or through the PvP battlegrounds, and once you are in power you can make life easier for people (or not) via your control of various resources such as shops and teleports. To perform actions with these your guild will need to be perform particularly high-end quests, fighting monsters and so forth. It all looks rather satisfying, at least within the constraints of traditional MMO systems. (Eve Online it ain't.)

TERA Still Coming Out, Apparently
By Jim Rossignol on October 18th, 2011.
A couple of days ago a friend asked me "what ever happened to that TERA game? It looked pretty." It certainly did look pretty, and I can see why he lost track of it, because I had too. It wasn't actually the prettiness that they were touting way back when we first looked at it in February last year, but more the "action combat". There's a bit of that illustrated in the second trailer, below, but I'm still not enormously convinced it's a world away from other MMOs, and this blighter is going to be up against Guild Wars 2, which I don't envy for it.
Anyway, it is still coming out, in Spring 2012.

TERA: Action In Your MMO?
By Jim Rossignol on April 16th, 2010.
I was just reading some stuff about forthcoming MMO Tera, and I had assumed we'd posted Brian Cox doing a walkthrough of the game at GDC, but I can't find it. Must have been imagining things. Anyway, it's a useful follow up to the interview we did when the project was announced, and you can see what they mean about "action" stuff being included, even if the game does look very much like a whole bunch of traditional MMOs. Also: it's really rather pretty. That seems to be a theme. Where are the ugly, half-breed mongrel games, eh?

TERA-forming: En Masse Entertainment
By Kieron Gillen on February 24th, 2010.
News of MMO-malarkies breaks. A subsidiary of Bluehole Studio, En Masse Entertainment has been formed. Their aim is basically to select MMOs and make them most suitable for bringing to the western audiences. Hyper-localization! Its staff are alumnis of Blizzard Entertainment, Microsoft Corp., Electronic Arts Inc., ArenaNet and NCsoft, so they've certainly worked for some companies. RPS' similar list would be "Its staff are alumni of that bar on campus, Walker's Dad's dentistry, some hop-farming and a big financial mag (which sacked him)", so they certainly have us beat. Their first game will be – perhaps unsurprisingly – Bluehole's TERA. We took the chance to talk to En Masse' producer Brian Knox about what they'll be up to, TERA and all things MMO…

Welcome to Tykwer-World: Tom Tykwer as Auteur

This articles argues that German director Tom Tykwer represents a new type of auteur distinct from that model of prevalent in the New German Cinema. His films foreground a personal style and rework a limited number of themes, but lack the critical dimension of the New German Cinema's "Autorenfilm". Instead, it can be argued that his status as auteur is more a performative gesture that seeks to establish a particular and recognisable brand in the domestic and international market place. The article shows how Tykwer's films create a unique and consistently recognisable filmic world that is presented as entirely artificial and that bears only a loose connection to contemporary social reality. It is argued that this self-conscious artificiality constitutes both a key component of Tykwer's personal style and a foregrounding of the creative presence of the director in his films.

Wrist snap question

I have to disagree with everyone who says the top players are snapping their wrists intentionally. I think it is a consequence of the swing mechanics.
You can't prove intention or not with still pictures as Toly has provided however cool they look. The wrist does flex yes but pictures cannot tell you if it was intentional or not.
The wrist can be made to flex from many factors: slowing the rotation of the core or shoulders, slowing the arm, shifting your weight at the precise moment, changing the angle of arc of attack, pulling back with your body or some body part (same as weight shift I suppose), altering the intended contact point during the swing, changing tension in the grip or forearm, putting your wrist a specific location and angle during the setup in the takeback also determines when/if the wrist will snap.
When I play I make my wrist / grip as loose as possible. When I hold my racquet during the unit turn and takeback I only put pressure on 2 or 3 of my fingers only to enforce this looseness, kind of like how you hold a pencil that you are twirling. It's that loose.
Then I set my racquet and wrist/arm angles at the end of the takeback depending on how much wrist snap and pronation i want to come out naturally. If I want a lot of snap i put my wrist and arm like so... if I want more pronation w/ less snap I put it like this.... then I just push off and rotate and depending on my setup the racquet and wrist will do what I intended (during setup phase) and will snap and pronate according to my preset plan. I don't have to manipulate during the swing at all. sometimes I will when i miscalc or i get an unexpected hop or i change my mind etc but the setup will determine everything. I believe the pros are doing the same.
Thats my opinion anyway.

The IMG Everest Expeditions: South and North
Phil Ershler
Everest North Side 4/11/01:The 2001 Mallory & Irvine Research Expedition has begun, and a discovery has already been made!
The team believes they have found the 1922 British expedition's Advance Base Camp. At least three oxygen cylinders from that climb were discovered below the current Advance Base Camp area. The 1922 expedition was the first to take supplemental oxygen to the mountain; its use was highly debated on grounds of the "unsporting" nature of deploying artificial aids to attempt to summit.
Web coverage started yesterday, April 11th, and you will now be able to follow the researcher's progress at the site here. The team will be sending back audio, visuals and actual video footage to the site. Please tune in and follow along with this historical expedition.

Teacher Rant!!!
I will never in a million years understand why teachers punish all their students in a class for a few unruly kids!!? It hurts the good ones and the others ones don't give a hoot anyhow! I wonder what the logic is behind this really???

It's in their rule book. I don't understand many of the things they do in the schools anymore. Common sense seems to have gone out the window when "zero tolerance" came in.

My husband doesn't do that but he will withhold certain perks unless everyone complies. For example say he has a jar of candy, something he bought that they would not have gotten anyway, and says that if everyone is quiet and attentive during the lesson they can each have a piece. It helps hold kids accountable for their actions not just because as an individual the teacher said so but holds them accountable with their peers as well because let's face it, in life no one is ever an "island". I don't think the whole class should be punished because of one person but I have no problem with using extra perks and rewards for group behavior. If one kid is bad he might get a call home or stay in for recess, but he won't take away the recess for everyone, only the kid that misbehaved. To me taking away something that is normally a given is different from bringing in something extra.

My kids school must be so backwards! They have had to walk a track their whole recess for a misbehaving child. Why not reward the good kids, punish the bad ones and a lesson to be learned? I tell my kids that I don't know why they have to account for bad kids (people) because that is not the way it is out in the real world. If someone messes up on the job for being stupid I don't have to pay the price! And can you even imagine being a kid these days being picked on because they have to tell their peer how to act! I don't know, something does not seem right there! I know some parents fall short of teaching/helping their kids, but why do the good ones have to put up with that? I think that could really discourage a good kid too..

From my experience its preparation for the real world where they have to work and if someone in their department/group is screwing around every one gets punished for it (loss of target production bonuses, newly instituted restrictive rules).
I just finished my first semester of college and have newly graduated 17/18 year olds in class. It is pathetic that they don't expect consequences when they are constantly late for class, never do the work and want everything spoon-fed to them but they can't understand why they are failing tests and think that it's not fair when they get to class 10-15 min late that the door is locked and doesn't open until the lecture is over. These children obviously lacked structured discipline in their formative schooling years. If there had been consequences then they may not be so irresponsible now. And if there were consequences for the whole group then the whole group is put in a position of trying to mold proper behavior. It turns from 1 teacher vs 30-40 students to 1 teacher and 29-39 students vs 1 student. It's also a chance to instill a basis for behavior later in life when students are confronted in the workplace with another employee (or even employer) not doing what's ethical. But again, this kind of behavior is so much easier to instill in 5-6 year olds as opposed to adults. |

I don't know how valuable a lesson it is for children, but I disagree that someone's actions don't involve others. If I mess up on a job that most certainly falls back on my boss. Likewise if my workers mess up I often have to smooth things over or figure out where they need better training from us. In the real world it is rare that someone is working completely alone where their mistakes have no effect on anyone else. When I did gymnastics, we had to do 100 additional sit-ups per fall at the last meet and everyone did them, so if our team had 5 falls regardless of who fell or why everyone did 500 *extra* sit-ups the next day. In that case it was an important lesson because gymnastics is often viewed as an "individual" sport but if you didn't want to be part of the team and only cared (or didn't care) about your own performance then you could go home.

I never lost my job for someone that did not respect theirs. Now I do remember one time everyone getting a bit of a hard time but the one that did not respect their job lost it in the end. I do not compare collage to standard school because the money, time and education is not the same (unless you are rich , to afford something someone can throw away ).

If it's a big problem, call the teacher and ask for an explanation. Maybe there is a good one. My husband sometimes spends hours each night communicating with parents.

the good are always being punished because of the bad - our freedoms are continually being eroded not because good people can not handle freedom it's because bad people can't.
i think teachers are the most convenient scape-goat for every ill in society - so many parent just want to be "friends" of their children and expect that the teachers job is to teach discipline jmo. |

this means you have to install this rpm first, from the same website. Once you installed this, try to change your video card back to what you deserve - GeForce4 MX 440 - same as what I used on my notebook.

I have the same problem. I also have a G4-440MX Siluro card from ABIT, When I installed rh73 default for x was G2 Generic. I manually changed this before the installation was completed to a g4 generic. When rh was rebooted, after login, it was flickerin like crazy. Since I was a newb, I didn't know how to get this to non gui mode to edit my XFCONFIG-4 file. I know how to get it to level three by changing the inittab, but this time I couldn't access since this was a fresh install of rh. Anyways, I just said screw it, and reformatted and reinstalled rh33, this time I stuck with the default G2 generic, rebooted, logged in fine, x started fine, updated drivers, and all is fine, accept for the fact I still have the G2 Generic still showing in the XFCONFIG-4 file, does this matter? The references to G2 are just for identifying correct? I'm not sure what to replace the lines with or if even matters, my graphics are still bad ass. Attached is a copy of XFCONFIG-4 and also a copy and paste for quick reference.

The BlogAndy Griffith Continues to Shill for ObamacareAt taxpayer expense.8:53 AM, Sep 27, 2010
• By JEFFREY H. ANDERSON
The Obama administration is spending still more of your tax dollars to have Andy Griffith tout Obamacare. Politico writes: In its real first decade (2014 to 2023), according to CBO estimates, Obamacare would siphon nearly $1 trillion out of Medicare and spend it on Obamacare. In the process, it would so dramatically cut Medicare reimbursement rates that—according to the Medicare chief actuary—by 2019, reimbursement rates for Medicare would be below even those of Medicaid. And Obamacare would cut Medicare Advantage funding to such a degree that millions of seniors would be forced off the plans they like and were so often told they'd get to keep. Yet Griffith says, "Medicare just got stronger." Aren't you glad you're paying for this? Recent Blog PostsThe Weekly Standard ArchivesBrowse 19 Years of the Weekly Standard |

Japanese auto makers such as Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. are reporting strong profits, but it's mostly thanks to their overseas sales.
This chart shows one reason: The number of cars
owned by the average household in Japan has barely budged since the early 2000s after rising steadily even during tough economic times in the 1990s. Read More »
Frigid winter temperatures couldn't keep Japanese car lovers away from the newest, coolest car designs at Asia's premier custom auto show, the Tokyo Auto Salon 2014, held Jan. 10-12 at a major event venue near Tokyo.
More than 280,000 enthusiasts attended over the weekend, despite the show lacking the international status and history of other major international auto shows. Yet it has developed its own devoted fan base in the three decades since its inception in 1983, when racing cars dominated the exhibition booths. Read More »
Toyota Motor Corp. isn't going to be investing heavily into electric vehicles and the company Chairman, Takeshi Uchiyamada, doesn't think there is much of a market for them.
"The reason why Toyota doesn't introduce any major [all-electric product] is because we do not believe there is a market to accept it," Mr. Uchiyamada said in an interview following a speech on Monday at the Economic Club of Washington, D.C.
That's not to say Toyota hasn't benefited from its partnership with electric vehicle maker, Tesla Motors. Toyota has received a powertrain for its RAV4 electric vehicle and also some venture-fueled excitement for its employees. Oh — and it also has paper gains of approximately $503 million on the 2.941 million shares of stock it bought in Elon Musk's company.

Toyota Motor Corp. outdid itself with its latest quarterly earnings results–literally.
The world's biggest auto maker said Friday it earned a net profit of ¥562.2 billion ($5.63) in the three months through June. It was the biggest profit ever by a Japanese non-financial firm in a single quarter, breaking the company's own record set in 2007, according to Nomura Securities Co. It should be noted however, that such records only go back to 2003, until which Japanese companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange weren't required to disclose quarterly financial results.

A Honda Motor executive said Tuesday that the Japanese auto maker hopes to launch a reasonably priced fuel-cell car by 2020.
While that may sound a long way off, that's actually an ambitious goal given the extremely high R&D costs associated with developing a zero-emission technology that is still nowhere near the price range of the average consumer. Read More »
Japan's car makers are sticking to their grim assessment for domestic sales, despite the high hopes for the economy generated by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's aggressive policies, dubbed "Abenomics."
While auto sales for the first six months of the year fell less than the 12% slide predicted by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association for the whole of 2013, the car makers' group said it would not be revising its forecast for the year, indicating continued pessimism about a recovery in demand. Read More »
On Tuesday, General Motors Co. and Honda Motor Co. announced they were joining hands to work on the next big green-car technology: fuel cells. That tie-up is the latest in a recent string of alliances among global car makers, aimed at developing technology for vehicles that can meet stricter emission regulations. The car makers are interested in fuel-cell systems — which generate electricity from a chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen — because they produce no toxic exhaust, just water.
However, battery-powered electric vehicles, or "EV's" as they're called in the industry, are also emission-free vehicles. What's the difference? Read More »
For the first time since shareholders approved Toyota Motor Corp.'s new management team under President Akio Toyoda last month, all six of the company's vice presidents talked to the media about their responsibilities Monday, stressing the need for fast, flexible decision-making to keep the world's biggest car maker on a sustainable growth track.
"We should pursue quick decision-making," said Executive Vice President Satoshi Ozawa, in charge of North America, Europe and Japan. "It takes too long to coordinate (opinions), or we make no decision as a result of trying to coordinate," he said at a press conference at the company's office in Nagoya, central Japan. "We want to break away" from that, he added.
That may be no easy task for a company as big and as globalized as Toyota. The past few years have thrown an array of obstacles into its path. Read More »

But when the browser is resized to smaller than the width of the toolbar with all of the text (before it wraps to a new line of buttons), I want to remove the text. This works fine. The problem is when I try to add the text back in (when the window is big enough to show it again). The icons are shifted to the left, but no text. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Here's the problem code:
