Suranga Lakmal Ruled Out Of Pakistan Tests
Sri Lankan fast bowler Suranga Lakmal has been ruled out of the two-Test series against Pakistan that begins later this week due to an ankle injury.
Lakmal was named in Sri Lanka's squad provided he could prove his fitness but he, unlike fellow fast bowler Shaminda Eranga, has been unable to do so.
Nuwan Pradeep, Dhammika Prasad and Chanaka Welagedara were also named in the squad as cover while Eranga has recovered from a hand injury he suffered in the first Test against South Africa.
Lakmal took four wickets in the recent 1-0 Test series defeat to South Africa but missed the 1-0 series win over England due to injury.
There, he was replaced in the squad by Rangana Herath and back in 2011, he missed out on a Test series in South Africa, also with an ankle injury.
"Lakmal has sustained severe swelling above his left ankle following the second test against South Africa and unfortunately he is out of the series," Angelo Mathews confirmed in his pre-match press conference.
The first Test begins in Galle tomorrow (6th August).

Todd Jay Christensen (August 3, 1956 – November 13, 2013) was an American football player who played in the National Football League from 1978 until 1988, spending most of that time playing tight end for the Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders. Following his retirement Christensen became a commentator for both professional and collegiate games, working for NBC Sports, ESPN, and CBS Sports Network among others.
Early years[edit]
Christensen was born in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, on August 3, 1956, to Ned Jay and June Christensen.[1][2] His father was working on a doctorate degree at Pennsylvania State University at that time. After teaching in West Virginia, his father was offered a professorship in Eugene, Oregon, when Todd was 5 and the family relocated.
Athletically, Christensen's early desire was to continue excelling in track and field as he had when he set the world records as a 9-year-old boy. "Puberty and adolescence helped me realize that I was not as fast as I had thought," he recalled. "My body went a different direction and that was when I started leaning towards football." He graduated from Sheldon High School in Eugene, and then attended Brigham Young University (BYU) in Utah.[2]
At BYU, Christensen was a four-year starter (1974–1977) at running back, led the team for three consecutive seasons in receiving and was an All-Western Athletic Conference selection in 1977. His career numbers while at BYU: 152 receptions, 1,568 yards and 15 touchdowns. He graduated with a degree in social work in 1978 before embarking on his pro career.
Professional career[edit]
Dallas Cowboys[edit]
Christensen began his NFL career as a second-round draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys in the 1978 NFL Draft.[1] While playing fullback and leading the team in rushing, he broke his foot in the final exhibition game, so he was placed on injured reserve and couldn't play a down in a season the team went on to play in Super Bowl XIII. The next year the Cowboys wanted to convert him to tight end, but he didn't agree with the move after working one week in his new position, so he was waived at the end of training camp.
New York Giants[edit]
Christensen was claimed off waivers by the New York Giants but only played in one game, and lasted two weeks with the team.
Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders[edit]
After being unclaimed, he was signed by the Oakland Raiders in 1979 and became a key player on special teams. After three seasons of unspectacular statistics (including the Raiders' Super Bowl winning campaign in 1980), Christensen broke out in 1982, catching 42 passes for 510 yards and four touchdowns during the strike-shortened season, helping the Raiders to the best record in the NFL. The next year, Christensen caught 92 passes for a career high 1,247 yards and 12 touchdowns and earned the first of his five trips to the Pro Bowl for his efforts.[1] His total catches led the NFL, making him the second tight end to ever do this (Kellen Winslow was the other). The Raiders finished the season with a resounding 38–9 victory over the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII. Christensen topped 1,000 yards again in 1984, catching 82 passes in the process.[1] He hit 80 receptions again the following year, missing 1,000 yards by just 13 yards.[1] The 1986 NFL season was Christensen's last big one statistically. He ended the year with a career-high, league-leading 95 receptions for 1,153 yards and eight touchdowns.[1] He also became the first tight end in history to catch 90 passes in each of two consecutive seasons.
Christensen's 1987 campaign was cut short, but in 12 games he still managed to catch 47 balls (a little fewer than four per game). His 663 yards averaged to 14.1 yards per reception, a career high in seasons where he caught at least 40 passes. In Christensen's final year, he missed more than half the season with injuries. He only caught 15 passes, with none going for touchdowns, and then he retired from pro football.[1]
In his career, Christensen caught 461 passes for 5,872 yards and 41 touchdowns.[1] In eight postseason games, he caught 31 balls for 358 yards and only one touchdown. He led the league in receptions twice, and his 349 receptions from 1983 through 86 (four seasons) was an NFL record.
After the NFL[edit]
Following his football career Christensen had tryouts with the Oakland Athletics and the Anaheim Angels but found his niche in Masters Track and Field where he set an age-group World Record in the Heptathlon and was the top decathlete in the world for ages 45-and-over.[3] Christensen became a broadcaster, co-hosting the second half of the first season of American Gladiators with Mike Adamle. He later joined the NFL on NBC as a color commentator from 1990 to 1994, teaming up with Charlie Jones for the first four years (see List of NFL on NBC commentator pairings).
In 1994, Christensen guest-starred on an episode of Married... with Children titled "Kelly Knows Something."[4]
Christensen did color commentary for ESPN's college football coverage before moving to MountainWest Sports Network. Christensen would remain with "the mtn." until the network shut down in June 2012. Christensen was announced as the new analyst for CBS Sports Network Navy games in August 2012. In 2000, he was inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame.
Christensen died at age 57 on November 13, 2013, from complications during liver transplant surgery at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Utah, near his home in Alpine. He had battled liver disease and related illnesses for about two years, though his son, Tory, said his liver issues began with a "botched" gall-bladder operation 25 years earlier.[5] He is survived by his wife Kathy, whom he married on Nov. 28, 1977, and his four sons, Toby Jay (b. 1978), Tory James (b. 1980), Trevor John (b. 1983) and Teren Joel (b. 1987).

Transparency in Public-Private Partnerships

dc.description.abstract | This paper examines the transparency of public-private partnerships (PPPs). The key question is "How has transparency and accountability been implemented in PPPs?".PPPs in infrastructure have been presented as enabling synergy and as a major alternative to previous contracting out techniques. These partnerships have most usually involved the preferential use of private finance, highly complex 'bundled' infrastructure delivery contract arrangements and new governance and accountability assumptions. Risk management is also particularly important to PPPs. Contracts between the governments and partnering private firms, however, have also been more complex and have not necessarily lead to simple synergy, but to more negotiations and governance structures. One ongoing concern from critics has been the accusation of illegitimacy due to the use by governments of these contracts to hold project information secret, rather than providing details of the deals to citizens. This paper first presents the transparency concept as it relates to modern day infrastructure PPPs. Second, the paper discusses how transparency and PPPs are related, and suggests a typology of transparency based on degree on openness and phases of the PPP process. Third, the paper examines empirical evidence on transparency elements in PPP contracts and governance structures based on two cases from Scandinavia and Australia. Fourth, the paper concludes by observing how different transparency dimensions relate to the different phases in a PPP project, including the important point about the contract institution that defines a PPP. The paper also concludes by suggesting some ways forward to improve transparency in future PPPs to enhance legitimacy. | en_US |

Truce in tatters as fighting, air raids rock Syria
DAMASCUS (AFP) - Fighting raged across Syria and air raids struck near Damascus and in the north on Saturday after a ceasefire declared for a Muslim holiday collapsed, with at least 221 people killed since it was due to take effect.
The truce for the Eid al-Adha holiday that started Friday - conditionally agreed by the regime and the rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) - had raised the prospect of the first real halt to the fighting after 19 months of conflict.
But after fresh fighting on both Friday and Saturday, rebels and a monitoring group declared the ceasefire well and truly dead.
As clashes between President Bashar al-Assad's forces and rebels continued, a Syrian warplane struck a building in a rebel-held area east of Damascus that has been the scene of heavy fighting for weeks, killing eight.

I strongly disagree with Dr. Subramanian Swamy's views on Muslims he expressed recently in a prominent newspaper. And if chance should have it that I meet him, I would invite him to my humble home for a cup of tea. And if the ambience is just right, we might end up discussing Mark Twain and Wodehouse. For, I am a Muslim and though deeply hurt by his views, I am required by every strand of morality and justice in me to stand for his right to express his views, however unreasonable.
I believe that we Muslims are being taken for a ride by some of these "minority bodies" when they call for the arrest of a senior statesman for our benefit. How can arresting him improve even an iota of our conditions? Whatever he said is out there and the only sensible thing to do now would be to have healthy debates on his views and expose how catastrophic it would be if his ideas were ever to see the light of day. Many senior politicians and academicians have already expressed their dissent.
Whenever Islam or Muslims are criticised, ridiculed or insulted, a very minuscule segment of society gives the call to take up arms and to let all hell loose. And that is a six-course meal for the news and media circus. From books and cartoons to blogs and tweets, every form of the media has been used by various individuals and groups to ridicule, criticise or question Muslim beliefs and lifestyle. And what has been our response? We have asked for the banning of books, expulsion of writers, and the closure of embassies. And the sad thing is that many of these demands have been met. We forget that this paints us as weak, intolerant, boring and an uncreative lot, which we are not.
Muslims have come a long way and for every Satanic Verse hurled at us, we have within our community talented writers, artists and actors more than capable of expressing the other side of the story in the most creative manner. Our history is replete with anecdotes where insults and mudslinging have been met with the highest levels of tolerance and creativity. We have every right to be angry when we are hurt by the expressions of some of the most insensitive individuals around us. But picketing, fatwas and call to violence are not the approach of a mature society. Where we have a chance to play the better role, we should play it. Where we have a chance to show our tolerance of nonsense, we must show it. And when it comes to vulgarity and obscenity, it is sure to offend all individuals irrespective of race and creed and it is in solidarity with them that we should take steps to curb or downplay the significance of such elements in society.
Let it not be misconstrued that I am hereby advocating an eye for an eye policy. Rather, I am advocating that we draw a bigger circle to include those who are seeking ways to expel us from their very small and misinformed circles. Give writers and artists the freedom to criticise and question every fibre of our society and beliefs, for we have acquired that level of maturity that we can stand up to any amount of criticism. As for those elements merely seeking to sow the seeds of discord and conflict between communities by raising non-issues and brandishing vulgarities, let us educate the masses so as to render their efforts futile. The only role such elements would have in shaping our history and future is the one we accord them. Let us be generous and record their failures in attempting to create schisms in a progressive society of all creeds.
Freedom of expression is of paramount importance. How else would certain politicians exert their inalienable right to make a complete fool of themselves?

I believe you'll find they're all soldered LED's.
There are people who provide the conversion service but probably not cheap.

if your handy with a soldering iron you could do it, as stoney said, with LED's, there are services on ebay, mainly for the instrument cluster to get this done, but I recall the price being approximately £100.00 give or take, as you have to send your cluster to them, then they play and send it back.

I did all the conversions myself, although I noticed yours is a mk1 Focus.

10 Metro Phoenix Restaurants We Miss
Some restaurants in Phoenix seemed to be ahead of their time. Others were good in theory but just didn't pan out to be regular stomping grounds for local diners. Still more restaurants just simply couldn't stay open just because we wanted them to, no matter how many times we ate there. Come take a trip with us down culinary memory lane and check out these 10 defunct metro Phoenix restaurants that we wish we could have just one more meal at, but be warned that after reading this you might get a craving for an old favorite that you won't be able to satisfy. Trust us, we know your pain.Heather Hoch These goat cheese medallions make us miss Lola Tapas.
See also: 10 Favorite Cult Restaurants in Metro Phoenix
Lola Tapas
Chef Felicia Ruiz's legit Spanish tapas joint in Phoenix near Seventh Street and Camelback Road closed for good over four years ago, but we can't help remembering her legendary small plates. Although Eric Gitenstein ran the kitchen when the place finally shuttered, Ruiz's passion and tradition is what we remember most about this hip little restaurant. Dishes like garbanzos con espinacas a la Andaluza, tortilla de patatas, and creamy, tangy goat cheese medallions just aren't available in town since Lola Tapas closed, and it's a bummer. We can't even drown our sorrows in the house sangria, and though a Lola Tapas and Wine Bar opened at the Yard, it really isn't even remotely the same without Ruiz.
On one hand, it was just another chain of local breakfast houses. But in a sea of Hobo Joe's, Humpty Dumpty's, and Coco's, Brookshire's was, well, a little different. Its bottomless cup of coffee was French-roasted long before anyone cared about such things, and its all-night menu included entrées like deep-fried burritos and all-you-can-eat biscuits and gravy. Three locations, most of them launched in the early 1970s, served uptown, downtown, and midtown neighborhoods looking for a little burger or pancake action at 2 in the morning or afternoon.
Treulich's Steak and Seafood
It was like Durant's, only grungy. This dark, banquette-busy, old-time supper club of the 1950s lasted well into the middle '90s, serving strong martinis to vaguely sinister-looking dudes and their pretty young "nieces." Steaks and spaghetti and loads of atmosphere were the order of the day or night at this once-swanky, now-long-gone page out of time.

Some monsters will have one of 5 symbols over by the circle to the side of the name. The symbols with their meanings are as follow:
None | |
Wind | |
Earth | |
Water | |
Fire |
These icons indicate the elemental affiliation of a monster. Each element has dominion over one element, but is susceptible to another. Some skills also have elemental affiliations.

The cycle of power as illustrated in the image to the right is as follows:

Availability of ElementsEdit
Only the water element is available to Priests and Oracles.
All elements except water are available to Magic man and Assistant. Note, however, that since Mages are from the Alliance of Light and receive a water-enchanted staff, they are thus given access to water based attacks. Pagans, receive a fire-enchanted staff instead and must complete the epic quest to enable the choosing of elements, allowing for a water elemental attack.

The University of Salamanca (Spanish: Universidad de Salamanca) is a Spanish higher education institution, located in the town of Salamanca, west of Madrid, in the autonomous community of Castile and León. It was founded in 1134 and given the Royal charter of foundation by King Alfonso IX in 1218. It is the oldest founded university in Spain and the fourth oldest European university in continuous operations. The formal title of "University" was granted by King Alfonso X in 1254 and recognized by Pope Alexander IV in 1255.
Its origin, like all older universities, was a Cathedral School, whose existence can be traced back to 1130. The university was founded in 1134 and recognized as a "General School of the Kingdom" by the Leonese King Alfonso IX in 1218. Granted Royal Chart by King Alfonso X, dated 8 May 1254, as the University of Salamanca this established the rules for organization and financial endowment.
On the basis of a papal bull by Alexander IV in 1255, which confirmed the Royal Charter of Alfonso X,[4] the school obtained the title of University.
The historical phrases Quod natura non dat, Salmantica non praestat (what nature does not give, Salamanca does not lend, in Latin) and Multos et doctissimos Salmantica habet (many and very versed Salamanca has) give an idea of the prestige the institution rapidly acquired.[5]
In the reign of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile, the Spanish government was revamped. Contemporary with the Spanish Inquisition, the expulsion of the Jews and Muslims, and the conquest of Granada, there was a certain professionalization of the apparatus of the state. This involved the massive employment of "letrados", i.e., bureaucrats and lawyers, who were "licenciados" (university graduates), particularly, of Salamanca, and the newly founded University of Alcalá. These men staffed the various councils of state, including, eventually, the Consejo de Indias and Casa de Contratacion, the two highest bodies in metropolitan Spain for the government of the Spanish Empire in the New World.
While Columbus was lobbying the King and Queen for a contract to seek out a western route to the Indies, he made his case to a council of geographers at the University of Salamanca. In the next century, the morality of colonization in the Indies was debated by the School of Salamanca, along with questions of economics, philosophy and theology.
By the end of the Spanish Golden Age (c. 1550–1715), the quality of academics in Spanish universities declined. The frequency of the awarding of degrees dropped, the range of studies shrank, and there was a sharp decline in the number of its students. The centuries old European wide prestige of Salamanca declined.
Like Oxford and Cambridge, Salamanca had a number of colleges (Colegios Mayores). These were founded as charitable institutions to enable poor scholars to attend the University. By the eighteenth century they had become closed corporations controlled by the families of their founders, and dominated the university between them. Most were destroyed by Napoleon's troops. Today some have been turned into faculty buildings while others survive as halls of residence.
In the 19th century, the Spanish government dissolved the university's faculties of canon law and theology. They were later reestablished in the 1940s as part of the Pontifical University of Salamanca.
Related affairs[edit]
The faculty of this university discussed the feasibility of Christopher Columbus's project and the effects his claims brought. Once America was discovered, they discussed the rights of indigenous people as being recognized with full plenitude, which was revolutionary for that period, economic processes were analyzed for the first time and they developed the science of law as it became a classical scholarly focus. It was the period when some of the brightest minds attended the university and it was known as the School of Salamanca. The schools members renovated theology, laid the foundation for modern-day law, international law, modern economic science and actively participated in the Council of Trent. The school's mathematicians studied the calendar reform, commissioned by Pope Gregory XIII and proposed the solution that was later implemented. By 1580, 6,500 new students had arrived at Salamanca each year, amongst the graduates were state officials of the Spanish monarchy administration were nourished. It was also during this period when the first female university students were probably admitted, Beatriz Galindo and Lucía de Medrano, the latter being the first woman ever to give classes at a university.
Present day[edit]
Salamanca draws undergraduate and graduate students from across Spain; it is the top-ranked university in Spain based on the number of students coming from other regions.[6] It is also known for its Spanish courses for non-native speakers, which attract more than two thousand foreign students each year.[7]
Today the University of Salamanca is an important center for the study of humanities and is particularly noted for its language studies, as well as in laws and economics. Scientific research is carried out in the university and research centers associated with it, such as at the Centro de Investigación del Cáncer [Cancer Research Centre],[8] Instituto de Neurociencias de Castilla y León [Institute of Neuroscience of Castile and León],[9] Centro de Láseres Pulsados Ultracortos Ultraintensos [Ultrashort Ultraintense Pulse Lasers Centre].
In conjunction with the University of Cambridge, the University of Salamanca co-founded the Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE) in 1989.
In 2009, preparations were being made for the celebration of the institution's eighth centennial.[10]
The library holds about 906,000 volumes.[11]

So you're saying there's a chance?
I finally succumbed to the numerous Match.com advertisements and decided to give it a shot. Initially I assumed on-line dating would be more efficient or less convoluted but after a couple days I need some tech support. If anyone can explain to me what should come first a Wink or an e-mail? Or do you do them simultaneously? If you chose someone as a favorite does that mean you're stalking them? As you can see I have many questions so I'm open to any and all feedback. As far as I go I'm an easy going guy that doesn't take himself too seriously, who is all about living for the moment since tomorrow isn't guaranteed. My family, friends and career are paramount. The pastime activities that get me excited are triathlons, running outside, swimming anywhere, cycling in NorCal, water polo (played at UCD), FOOD, wine, dive bars, TAHOE, all national parks, beach, traveling, snow, SF, all water sports, Giants / 49ers games, beer pong, concerts, and many others that we can discuss live. I absolutely love competition, anything that involves a winner and loser I want to participate in. I can't stand Mayo! I think the Bay Area is one of the greatest places on earth and I feel so fortunate to live here. The dating scene is exhausting, I'm ready for the next chapter in my life. I'm looking for someone that doesn't sweat the small stuff, has a great sense of humor, is active and knows how to have a good time.
Alumni connections , Camping , Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting

Installing Muzzle brake on AR15
I just bought a WOA SPR barrel. I am going to put a JP Enterprise Bennie Cooley muzzle brake on it. How hard is it to get the brake to line up right? Do I need to order special washers or anything? Also what is the best way to secure the barrel without scratching it up?

If you are extremely lucky the brake will align without a washer. A friend with a lathe could take a little off the rear of the brake or barrel shoulder to get it to align. Otherwise, use a crush washer or peel washer.

Whatever you prefer is fine by me,I have found the noise level from similar brakes to be a problem.
Any of the flash suppressors are easier to live with,but have fun your own way. |

My Valentine's Day
Hope everyone had a nice Valentine's day, mine was lovely as I had the day off so went for a spot of vintage shopping with my mum before going to see the BF after he finished work. I brought him a little Valentine's cupcake from work, which was sooo pretty with its sparkly heart decoration. This is the card that I bought for him. I don't like gushy teddy bears and things on cards so I went for something quite simple, but I think it says alot :)
I also liked that it had a sort of retro feel to it, I thought it was perfect, and would even look good framed afterwards. Anyway, the BF had told me that we had to be somewhere at 7pm, so I thought it might be something special, so I got all dressed up in the beautiful maroon coloured dress that he bought me for Christmas. If I'm honest I had been saving it for Valentine's day as its too nice to wear for everyday.
I also did some curls in my hair as it made me feel more "dressy". The cutout detailing on the dress is just so pretty and its a very flattering fit - just snug enough so that I am not tempted to overdo it on the Valentine's chocs!
We shared the cupcake - it was delicious :)
Ok...I say shared - but I ate most of it!
Then the nicest thing happened...
We swapped cards.......
We'd only gone and bought each other the exact same card! He actually said he had a feeling we might buy the same one, and funnily enough so did I. He also had thought it would look good framed too.
I think it means we are a perfect match!
But inside my card were these tickets. I was soooo surprised and excited too, so we headed off down to the West End to have dinner and see Mamma Mia!
Here I am ready to go!
We had a lovely (yet slightly rushed!) dinner at The Strada, then went to see the show!
It was fab, highly recommended, and so much fun!
Hope you all had a wonderful day too!
14 comments:
Ahhhhh young love!! I remember those days! lol! After being together for 25 years and working in the card industry! I just see Valentines day as a con to get more money out of you! Sorry, but its a bit like when you say the word "wedding" everything triples in price!!
Anyway, glad you had a lovely time! We saved our money for family togetherness stuff instead.
Thank you for taking the time to leave me a comment, I love reading them and will always try to get back to you and visit your blog! xx Gem

summary | The development of the Journals Online project at INASP is explained. The aim of the project is to increase the visibility of the research produced in developing and emerging countries. This has been achieved by creating websites on which the content of local journals is hosted. The visibility of the research was measured by recording the number of journals hosted, articles, full text articles and visitors. A questionnaire survey was conducted of changes in levels of indexing and qualitative comments from editors were assembled. It was found that the number of journals and articles on the websites was increasing and the number of article views was high, thus indicating that the research was being used by researchers from all over the world. |

'It's more than a job': Paid internships are available for island teens
It's not too late for teens to nail down that summer job.
The Workforce Development Council matches students between the ages of 16 and 20 with internships at various businesses and non-profits in the community and pays for the students to work these positions that are usually only available to volunteers.
Only three students have signed up for paid internships through the council for the summer. The coordinator of the program, Minnie Knych, says she has the resources to take on 10-12 more interns and will be accepting applications until July 15.
The three current interns have been placed throughout the community and are involved in an array of projects.
Jamiesha McDaniels is employed at The Whale Museum, doing docent work and helping manage the Orca Adoption Program.
Marissa Murray is at the San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau, refining her secretarial skills and answering tourists' questions about the island.
Paige Fields, who developed an interest in library science during a high school class, is organizing the children's summer reading program at the San Juan Island Library.
"I'm enjoying it," said Fields of her position at the library. "I can tell already it's going to be a good summer."
While Knych admits that the council (which pays interns minimum wage) can't compete with other businesses' salaries for summer workers, she sees the internship program as a unique opportunity for students.
"It's more than a job; it's a total learning experience," Knych said.
In addition to being matched with a paid internship, Knych meets with the interns on a bi-weekly basis and they are trained in dressing for success, customer service, and communication skills.
Along the way, they also create a portfolio in which they identify their transferable and technical skills, develop a resume, collect letters of reference, and self-evaluate their work performance.
The hope is that the interns will use their portfolio as a tool for obtaining future jobs.
Knych is hopeful that more island teens will take advantage of this summer work opportunity, especially since businesses in town are hiring fewer seasonal workers because of the current economic situation. She has found that there is a desire for more Workforce Development Council interns in the community; the Convalescent Center and Chamber of Commerce have shown particular interest in taking on additional interns.
For an application, stop by the Northwest Workforce Development Council Office at 540 Guard St., No. 210, or call Knych at 378-8662. Application deadline is July 15.

Product Details
Author: J.R. Mathews SummaryWe've seen the folk art form of graffiti derided by police and civic leaders as pure vandalism. In the '90s some of it was upgraded to art museums, and today the political "street art" of Banksy and Shepard Fairey recontextualize graffiti art yet again. In Graffiti Underworld, J.R. Mathews bypasses the art galleries and travels across the United States to rediscover the original outlaw vandals for no-bullshit interviews about their risky and exciting outlaw creations.Graffiti Underworld interviews nearly two hundred artists, all of them pseudonymous, and includes over three hundred images of their work through the barbed-wire fences, multi-story walls, railroad tracks, and other rough-and-tumble surroundings. Graffiti artists and lawbreakers interviewed include: Ader, Anoy, Apes, Arek, Aser, Asic, Aware, Beer, Begr, Bone, Byas, Cern, Chek 1, Clown, Colt 45, Cope, Cornbread, Coupe, Crow, Dark, Dekay, Demer, Den, Denz, Desism, Dyer, Else, Ender, Ether, Evict, Fishe, Flash ABC, Flyos, Ghouls, Gime, Glue, Goner, Graves, GSouth, Hael, Harsh, Heat, Helz, Hert, Hour, Huge, Indecline, Isto, Jaber, Jase, Jee, Jel, Jive, Joey TPA, Kerse, King 157, KR, Kuhr, Lead, Lost, Lyes, Met, Mise, Nark, Neks, Nekst, Neo, Nerose, Omens, Ouija, People, Pepe, Phone, Phrite, Poet, Popmaster Fabel, Prae, Ree2, Resek, Ridl 1, RJay, RVee, Saber, Sachem, Saer, Sake, Sexer, Sicks, Sight, Sinek, Size 21, SMK, Snatch, Space, Spade, Syms, Taco, Takt, Teel, Temp, Then, Timber, Toomer, Tork, Trixter, Typoe, Untold, Urine, Vogue, Voice, Vos, Waste, Yukon, Zek 156, and Zem.

This is his first book. |

Washington State's Department of Ecology is asking if citizens can picture the effects of climate change — literally.
The department collected approximately 600 photos from Washingtonians after the first round of king tides in December. The tides, which occur twice in winter and twice in summer, are the highest of the year.
Officials are asking for more help documenting the tides. Pictures can provide a peek into the future of Washington shorelines as sea levels rise in response to climate change. Ecology is collecting photo submissions from locals that show what shorelines are more affected than others, with key interests in infrastructure and shoreline properties such as rail lines, roads and homes.
King tides strike Washington's water bodies at different times. The Strait of Juan de Fuca is expected to be hit first from Jan. 8-13, followed by the Washington coast line from Jan. 10-12.
Puget Sound, including Bainbridge Island, will experience king tides from Jan. 14-17.
To submit a photo to Ecology, note the date, time and location of the photo, then upload the image to the Washington King Tide Photo Initiative Flickr Group at www.flickr.com/groups/1611274@N22/.
Ecology officials are reminding residents to be safe when taking photographs, and to take them in daylight hours. They also recommend taking pictures near familiar landmarks such as sea walls, bridges or buildings.

In this exhilarating sequel to The Skylark of Space, momentous danger again stalks genius inventor and interplanetary adventurer Dr. Richard Seaton. Seaton's allies on the planet Kondal are suffering devastating attacks by the forces of the Third Planet. Even worse, the menacing and contemptuous Fenachrones are threatening to conquer the galaxy and wipe out all who oppose them. And don't forget the dastardly machinations of Seaton's arch-nemesis, DuQuesne, who embarks on a nefarious mission of his own. Against such vile foes and impossible odds, how is victory possible? Featuring even more technological wizardry, alien worlds, and all-out action than its predecessor, Skylark Three is hailed by many as the imaginative high point of the Skylark series. A pioneer of the space opera, E. E. "Doc" Smith (1890-1965) profoundly influenced the development of American science fiction. Smith's books include the classic Lensman series. Jack Williamson is the author of numerous classic novels, including The Humanoids and Terraforming Earth. He has been inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame.
89,250 words, with a reading time of ~ 5.4 hours (~ 357 pages), and first published in 1930. This DRM-Free edition published by epubBooks, 2009.
There are currently no other reviews for this book.
In the innermost private office of Steel, Brookings and DuQuesne stared at each other across the massive desk. DuQuesne's voice was cold, his black brows were drawn together.
"Get this, Brookings, and get it straight. I'm shoving off at twelve o'clock tonight. My advice to you is to lay off Richard Seaton, absolutely. Don't do a thing. Nothing, hold everything. Keep on holding it until I get back, no matter how long that may be," DuQuesne shot out in an icy tone.
"I am very much surprised at your change of front, Doctor. You are the last man I would have expected to be scared off after one engagement."

Wesley Sneijder has told Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti to move for Manchester City midfielder Nigel De Jong.
Sneijder says De Jong would be a great signing for the Nerazzurri.
"Moratti must sign De Jong. He's football mad! I know him well," laughed Sneijder, who was also asked about interest from Anzhi.
He told Corriere dello Sport: "Three or four years ago I would think about it. Now I do not: it is more important to play in a big competition and aim for trophies."

Nueces County prepares to sue Coastal Bend Thunder for unpaid rent, damages
CORPUS CHRISTI - Nueces County commissioners want to make sure a former Robstown minor league baseball team won't escape paying its bills.
That's why on Wednesday commissioners voted unanimously to authorize the county attorney to pursue all legal remedies including a lawsuit against Coastal Bend Professional Baseball Club.
County Attorney Laura Garza Jimenez sent a demand letter last month to the club's managing member, John Bryant, setting a 30-day deadline for payment of more than $142,000 in unpaid rent, utilities and stadium repair and cleanup costs.
Bryant, who couldn't be reached Wednesday for comment, has said that he believed the organization owed about $27,000 in back rent and utilities and planned to pay it but didn't think any payment for damages were owed.
He has said the club's Coastal Bend Thunder team had been operating at a loss before the close of its second and final season last summer at the field.
The team was locked out of Fairgrounds Field in December because of the unpaid rent and utilities. County commissioners in January terminated the contract with the team.
Jimenez said last Friday's payment deadline came and went without word from Bryant or any other organization leaders.
County Judge Loyd Neal said commissioners may have considered a counter offer at some point but that there was no attempt to make contact with county officials by the deadline.
"The time is up," he said.
Jimenez said a lawsuit could be filed as early as next week to try and recoup the back rent and damages along with attorneys' fees.
Last year, the county reached a $100,000 settlement with the owner of another team that played at the field, the Coastal Bend Aviators, for unpaid rent. The Corpus Christi Beach Dawgs also played at the field.

Marantz CD-4000 broken
My Marantz CD4000 is broken. It loads the CD, then after 5 seconds ejects it. (it does not spin) I opened the player, and checked the laser. The things that happen: 1. The laser does not go "up" to search for the CD 2. The laser is not visible (is that correct, or should the laser be visible) What can be done with this? I assume the tray is a VAM1201. Haik |

Make sure that the mechanism fully completes the loading cycle. I'm not familiar with the Marantz but the VAM type pickups usually "lift" to meet the disc. Make sure no loading belts are slipping.
If the laser sled assembly is wound out manually away from the platter then it should automatically return to the rest position when the player is powered up or the tray ejected. The laser will only be visible during the focus search routine (lens going up and down when tray is closed) and is not easy to see anyway as it's mainly infra red. So if it is not doing a focus search then the problem doesn't sound laser related.

OK, I checked everything.
removed and cleaned the cables connectors of the laser unit, cleaned the contacts of the door slide switch. Problem solved. It works again. |

It works fine with original CD's, but the ones I burned it works sometimes, skips couple of seconds of music, jumps to next track etc... Sometime I see "disk not finalized" (of course it is finalized). The burned disks work flawlessly in s different Marantz player. I cleaned the lens, and no difference. Also, when I press STOP, the CD starts to turn very very fast the WRONG way, and when I open the tray, it is still spinning in the tray. I assume it is the "brake" of the CD player to stop the CD when opening the tray. But it does not stop. Is it the laser unit? I can get a laser unit for 10-15 euro at ebay. Or is it the electronics below it? Is it worth? Haik |

Burned CD's vary enourmously from machine to machine.
It would be worth trying a new CDR burned on another PC if possible. The definitive way to test this is to look at the RF signal coming of the disc with a scope on both pressed CD's and burned CDR's. The Marantz may or may not be "marginal"... without proper tests it's impossible to say. If the level is lowish on pressed discs (pointing to a pickup or alignment issue) then with CDR it's almost certain to give trouble. Burning at the fastest speed is not always the answer too. I tested this on my laptop and the best recovered RF on playback on a standard CD player came from the lower speeds.

Interesting. It worked before. I could play any disk.
Then once upon a time, the CD4000 stopped reading any disks. Then I put the CD player away, and used my old one, the Marantz 67SE. That one eats everything. Now I want to build in a different DAC, so I started to "repair" the CD4000. The interesting thing I see, if a CD is played and I press STOP, then the disk start to spin the other way (counter clockwise) very very fast, and does not stop. Then the slide opens with the spinning disk falling on the slide. Is the electronics that control the motor broken? Al lot of TDA IC's are soldered there. Since they are normal IC's (not SMD's) it is easy to replace them. Is it an idea to replace them, or is it a processor which controls these IC's which gives wrong commands? Does anyone have a schematic of the control part of the laserunit? Is there a shop that sells spare parts for Marantz CD-players? E-bay sellers? Some shop in Europe?

The disc spining fast and backwards are symptoms that "servo lock" has been lost. It's not a motor drive fault.
The answer to this is to look with a scope at the signal. Unless you do detailed tests and gather and understand all the information then you are just guessing as to the cause. CDR's are very "non standard" compared to pressed Red book standard discs.

I used to be like that. And I've noticed that the selection of bone-in meats in the grocery store is really crummy.
We have been getting a lot of meat from a local farm lately. 14yo DD was with me last time I picked up a bunch. We saw the chickens, pigs and sheep, heard a funny story about the cow who supplied the current batch of beef. One the way home DD says, "I don't want to hear stories about my meat. I don't want to meet the animals I'm going to eat!". I gave her the bit about the happy life these animals had, the miserable lives of the animals who end up in the supermarket. Her response? "It's better to put those poor animals out their misery and eat them, than to kill perfectly happy animals for food." Erm...OK. Well, those animals are miserable because someone made them miserable. But, I know better than to argue with an indignant 14yo, lol. She still loved the burgers from that happy cow, though.

GW- Goals are no longer weight-related
I actually wanted to be bad and get some KFC when I was visiting a bigger city recently. I was gonna get the Double Down sandwich but they don't sell that anymore, so I just got some chicken strips and brown gravy. It was a deeply, deeply unsatisfying meal and far too expensive for what it was imo also. (the gravy = brownish salt slurry, no real taste). Even fast food these days is far too overpriced for what you get really; when you start getting up into $7-8 per "meal", you might as well go to a local sit-down restaurant at that rate (if you have the time). Fast food only has the advantage of getting the food out relatively quick, and outside of the dollar menu it isn't cheaper than any other average restaurant anymore either. If I go with my SO to eat and am spending $20 for the two of us at a fast food place, I'm like WTF! And they wonder why their sales are dropping. $20 can buy us a week of groceries (meat, eggs, veggies)... unfortunately our biggest discretionary expense is still eating out ><
I balk at $4+ fast food items; at that rate I could get a pound of steak at the supermarket :/ Oh and, McD's is coming out with a few new menu items - "premium" chicken wraps, no-yolk egg mcmuffins (I saved 30 calories today! (and lost a bunch of nutrition) /facepalm), and another flavor of smoothie ($4 per smoothie? gtfo... I'd rather get 4 dollar menu sandwiches, at least I can get some protein out of them). But I went to look at the nutrition info of the chicken wraps - they are WORSE than a Big Mac (the fried ones anyway). But you know, a bunch of people are going to get them thinking they are "healthier!!!" than a burger... sigh :/

That's really great! I'm so glad some cities are being progressive about it and not tight-assed jerks about people growing their own food. I really want to rent a house where I can have chickens or ducks in the backyard, at least for eggs if not meat. Although I do want to get to the point of raising and killing my own poultry. Long term I want to have goats also.

Guilty admission...I made bacon cheeseburger mac & cheese (thanks Rachael Ray!) for dinner tonight for the family. It was freaking fantastic. But break it down...the only non-primal ingredients were the noodles and a little flour and ketchup. I can feel my ankles swelling as I type.

The Flame of Olympus
Approach the flame and you'll trigger a lengthy cutscene. After it's over, take some time to search the area for items and Orbs. First, approach the nook with the large chain passing through it.
The wall to the left of the chain has some sparkly dust hanging around it. Flash the Head of Helios at the wall to expose a secret passage. Inside you'll find three chests full of Red Experience Orbs and a chest with a Gorgon Eye inside as well. You cannot break the blue crystals yet, but remember this location so you can explore it further when you return later.
Now, head to the save point. Just past it is an outside area. Run up the stairs and open the two chests on the edge of the area for more Red Orbs. You can take a look at the scarred earth below at the pedestal.
Now, return to the room with the Flame. Along one wall is a locked door. On either side of this door are three areas with pedestals, six in total. These area are swimming in sparkling dust. Use the Head of Helios to expose pictures on each of the six spots. You can read about the spots as well -- they foretell things to come in your quest for the Flame.
As you read the windows, a cutscene will be triggered. Follow Hermes outside past the save point (save if you need to as well). Jump off the edge after the interaction with the speedy god and float down to his location.
Climb onto the wall to the right and slide down to the bottom.

Hulka, Lea M; Wagner, Michael; Preller, Katrin H; Jenni, Daniela; Quednow, Boris (2013). Blue-yellow colour vision impairment and cognitive deficits in occasional and dependent stimulant users. International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology, 16(03):535-547.

Specific blue-yellow color vision impairment has been reported in cocaine-dependent users and it was postulated that drug-induced changes in retinal dopamine neurotransmission are responsible. However, it is unclear whether these changes are confined to chronic cocaine users, whether they are specific for dopaminergic stimulants such as cocaine and amphetamine, and whether they are related to cognitive functions such as working memory, encoding, and consolidation. In 47 occasional and 29 dependent cocaine users, 23 MDMA users, and 47 stimulant-naïve controls, color vision discrimination was measured with the Lanthony Desaturated Panel D-15 Test and memory performance with the Auditory Verbal Learning Test. Both occasional and dependent cocaine users showed higher Color Confusion Indices than controls. Users of the serotonergic stimulant MDMA (26%), occasional (30%) and dependent cocaine users (34%) exhibited more frequent blue-yellow color vision disorders compared to controls (9%). Inferior performance of MDMA users was caused by a subgroup with high amphetamine co-use (55%), while MDMA use alone was not associated with decreased blue-yellow discrimination (0%). Cognitive performance was worse in cocaine users with color vision disorder compared to users and controls with intact color vision and both color vision impairment and cognitive deficits were related to cocaine use. Already occasional cocaine and amphetamine use might induce blue-yellow color vision impairment, whereas the serotonergic stimulant MDMA does not impair color vision. The association between color vision impairment and cognitive deficits in cocaine users may reflect that retinal and cerebral dopamine alterations are linked to a certain degree.

Publisher's Description
+Do you want player trades and transactions to occur automatically in your Baseball for Windows replay? How about that roster move you don't want to miss? Well with ATMgr you can have it.
This program was created for the replayer so that actual transactions for a season could be entered into a file before (or during) a BBW season. It can also be used in a fantasy league where you set your own transactions ahead of time. This process will save on the time it takes to manually make trades, player call ups and releases and the like. Once entered all you have to do is select Daily Roster from the ATM menu and the program does the rest.
You may use any method to run your league although you must be using some version of League Manager(LM). You may use a program such as APlus(A+), Auto Substitution in LM or manually enter lineups before each game.

St. Petersburg, Florida - National Superhero Day is this Sunday and to celebrate the "holiday" The Morning Showon 10 News asked you to tell us about your superhero kids.
We introduceyou to one who is very busy making a huge difference in her community.
Superheroes come in all shapes and sizes. In this case, it's 13-year-old named Lila Baker who is very busy helping her community. Her mother Denise, sent us a long letter saying quote, "Lila has been trying to get the word out to others that they, too, can make a difference in the lives of people in our community." "She does a lot to help out others and I just thought it was really special because you don't see that a lot." They came on The Morning Show Friday to tell us all about her superhero powers. One of her favorites is helping cancer patients. She's donated her hair not once, not twice, but 4 times to Locks of Love. "It's really important because it makes you feel like good inside and it makes everyone feel happy," says Lila. But her biggest project was creating "Bags of Sunshine" to comfort kids at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital. In August of 2012, this Pine View Middle School student started collecting games, puzzles, arts and crafts kits, crayons and other goodies. By January of this year, Lila collected more than 1,800 items to deliver to the children. "I just love helping people and seeing how happy it makes them afterwards." It's a superhero quality she hopes to spread to others so they'll make a difference, too.

My wife found the ipod touch stuffed way in the back of the couch where my hands wouldnt reach.. It had find my iphone on it but my youngest son drained the battery so it wasnt responding (we didnt know it was missing for a week)--- Turns out I looked on the camera roll and there was a video and 10 pictures of my youngest son playing with it-- on the couch-- We found the culprit and the ipod--! Thanks for the help! After charging the ipod responded that it was locked and couldnt be use for 22 million minutes-- (easy fix though)

Shale Gas & Hydraulic Fracturing In North Carolina
The process known as "fracking" has led to a surge in natural gas production in the U.S. and some in North Carolina want in. Hydraulic fracturing, a method of extracting natural gas from deep below the earth's surface is now legal in the state. Another vote is required by the legislature to allow drilling, but permits could be issued as early as 2015. We'll talk with the chairman of the North Carolina Mining and Energy Commission, the group charged with developing rules and regulations for the controversial practice, along with WFAE reporter Ben Bradford to discuss the prospects for a shale gas industry here. We'll also talk with a Duke University environmental scientist about some of the risks involved, including results of a new study that links hydraulic fracturing to water contamination in Pennsylvania.
Jim Womack - Chairman, North Carolina Mining & Energy Commission; Lee County Commissioner; and Vice-Chairman, National Association of Counties' Energy/Renewables Subcommittee.
Dr. Robert Jackson - Nicholas Professor of Global Environmental Change, Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University and Co-Author of the recent study "Impacts of Shale Gas Wastewater Disposal on Water Quality in Western Pennsylvania"
Ben Bradford - WFAE Reporter who has being covering the story

How many of these Reason vs FL Studio threads are there? Damn...
How many of these Reason vs FL Studio threads are there? Damn...
i find the FL Studio workflow works best for me. i also like being able to drag and drop samples and the like.
although, for recording live audio, i kinda lean towards Reason. I like the ability to easily add effects and stuff to each separate track and keep it separate while this is possible in FL Studio, i feel like Reason does it better.

FL Studio also works with VST's
Change the pan law.
Project general settings>turn off circular panning.
Simple as that, and it actually has nothing to do with sound quality at all. Just how you hear it.
Reason is good for somethings, I find it a lot simpler to use(Except the step sequencer, its terrible!), and you can get some pretty good sounds out of it, but it never will offer the flexibility FL Studio offers. I cant even describe why I like FL Studios work flow so much, its just really fast to me. Theres less mucking around actually trying to get the DAW to do things for you and more musical creation.
I totally agree. I'm a beginner, but it only took around 2 months to figure out decent production in FL. What I typically do is make a dummy kick track, jam/program out a riff on one of the built-in synths, and replace it with a VST if FL's sounds can't get me what I need. Most of the time it does though, aside from drum samples which are usually downloaded one-shot samples. The best part about picking sounds in FL is the mixer tracks will keep your effects and settings if you swap.
I still cant believe in 2012 people think that one DAW "sounds better".
To be honest I am a firm believer in Workflow.
I am the laziest bastard out there. I hate spending time with simple tasks when I want to be creating. Ive used Cubase, Sonar, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Reason, Tampered with Ableton and have an MC808 Groovebox. I love Sonar for mixing and love FL for creating. I find each compliments my work flow for each task. I would say get better Drum Samples and get better VSTS and/or record live. The quality is going to come from what you feed into it. If you have bad sounds and samples then obviously the track will sound mediocre.
PS, Ive used Reason extensively and I used to always be bothered with how they wouldnt let 3rd party into their software. One Thing I loved was that with ReDrum you can easily flip through samples and audition while the track is playing. something I wish FL would integrate.

I like Fl because it really easy to use and its piano roll is the best
fl studio is much easier to use.
