If we are going to use the Old Testament to define our laws as in the case of gay marriage via Prop. 8 in CA then we open up the field. My post is satirical by the way. However The Orthodox Jews, Fundamentalist Christians, and the Mormons should consider what other things the Old Testament dictates. For example (tongue in cheek) we need amendments on the following:
Prop 9: The death penalty for adultery. Leviticus 20:10
Prop 10: Children who curse at their parents to be stoned. This should greatly reduce the population in the U.S. Exodus 21:17
Prop 11: Those who do not convert to Judaism will be executed. Exodus 22:20 This will need a slavery clause. Those who do not convert to Judaism can be made slaves if that is more convenient for the Jewish people in a particular situation. Leviticus 25:44-46 [This is a tough break for the Mormons and Fundy Christians who thought that strict adherence to Biblical teachings would be to their benefit. Two choices folks and the decision is not yours; you will either become a slave or you will be executed.]
Prop 12: Death penalty for fortune tellers, palm readers, tarot card readers, etc Leviticus 20:27
Prop 13: Death penalty for working on the Sabbath. Leviticus 23:29-30; Numbers 15: 32-36
Prop 14: Those who are ill and morticians will have all of their assets seized and they will be put into the street. Numbers 5: 1-4
Prop 15: By this point it has become painfully obvious that Yahweh wants everyone dead so this is the annihilation amendment aka "Who would Yahweh/God kill? Everyone!!!" Global population 14 million.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Quality Printing and Service!
I had ordered save the dates from MagnetStreet almost a year ago (the Perfect Petals mini magnets) and thought I would end up designing my own invitations and printing them out myself. However, I ended up being so pleased with the result of my save the dates, and especially the customer service I received during the process, I ended up going ahead and ordering the invitations from MagnetStreet as well! These invitations were super easy to customize (I used bright yellow and two shades of gray as the colors on both these invitations and the save the dates). They arrived quicker than promised and look beautiful! The paper is thick and the printing is very crisp. MagnetStreet did a great job answering my questions (I wanted to make sure the colors were the same between these invitations and the save the dates I ordered before and all I did was write a small comment in the instructions and it was changed to the correct color in the proof!). The only downside to the whole process was that the "share this design" e-mails didn't seem to go through. Therefore, I had to send a few screen shots to my mother and bridesmaids so they could check over the wording and formatting. In all, I had a great experience with MagnetStreet! I only ordered the mini magnet save the dates and these rectangle invitations in Perfect Petal style, but these two products satisfied all my stationary needs (we are having people RSVP on our website where they can also find more travel and lodging details). I have and will recommend MagnetStreet to friends!
Cute Magnets
The magnets are just what I hoped they would be; festive, colorful and contain all the info we needed them to. The time it took from order to delivery was less then a week and when they arrived they were in a really nice box! Would definitely order again!
Gorgeous Everything
I received my wedding invitations yesterday! They are amazing! Absolutely beautiful! I fell in love with the amazing quality of just the free samples they sent right out to me after I requested them! Knew I had to order my invitations from magnet street if I wanted my wedding invitations to be amazing!
Beautiful Elegant Classy
I ordered my save the date magnets and my invitations from magnet Street. Both were beautifully done in of high quality. I couldn't be more happy with the outcome of both of these products and I still plan on ordering my wedding programs from you as well. The paper was sick and high quality the print job was very bright and colorful. I ordered several samples of invitations and each one came in a timely manner. My invitations came within 2 to 3 weeks of ordering them online. The program that was used to design the invitations and preview them was very accurate to what showed up when I opened the box. Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome and can't wait to send them out!
Great Invitations!
Overall very pleased with our invitations. The site can be a little browser intensive when building your invitations, but overall great value!

Another great gift idea, Put your house on the waiting list for a sloar system that you do not have to pay for. Citizenre plans to offer a complete photovoltaic solar system to customers with no upfront cost and only a small deposit of $500 to $1000 of out of pocket expenses. They are trying market solar with an approach similar to satellite TV, cellular telephones, and alarm systems. That is to provide the customer a complete solar system with no upfront charges and make money from a service contract. In this case the service contract would be a rent agreement. They intend to put a complete solar system on clients home. When the system produces electricity, it will lower the bill from the current utility provider. In most cases the savings from the lower bill will more than cover the rent fee that the company intends to charge. The company currently has no product available but intends to deploy in the middle of 2008. They are currently taking reservations and have over 26,000 takers so far. I have written several articles on this company in my blog and even have a couple of videos that I have recorded at http://www.solarjoules.com. Feel free to take a look. I welcome comments. As in any start up business, a chance exists that they may never get off the ground and fulfill any preorders, but if this is the case – the potential client has not lost anything. If you cannot afford the upfront cost of solar today, this may turn out to be a great alternative. What better gift to give to the green member of your family than a way to produce your own electricity with equipment rented from Citizenre all for a price that is most likely below the electricity bill hat you have now!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Two RedHawks earned second-place finishes Friday to lead the Miami University men's track and field team on day one of the Black and Gold Invitational, which is the team's season-opening meet and is hosted by the University of Vanderbilt at its track and field complex.
Senior Jarrod Eick (Hartville, Ohio) was the runner-up in the 1500m invitational run, clocking 3:51.01 as he was less than a second behind Loyola's (Ill.) Sam Penzenstadler. In the 3000m invitational run, junior Daniel Garleb (Pickerington, Ohio) placed 11th in a personal-best 8:34.68.
Senior John Cantwell (Holland, Pa.) captured the other runner-up finish for the 'Hawks in the triple jump with a leap of 14.31m/46-11.5, which ties his personal best set last year. In the shot put, junior Rob Stein (Villa Park, Ill.) took 11th with a heave of 15.54m/51-0. He also claimed 15th in the hammer throw with a toss of 52.23m/171-4.
The meet resumes Saturday at 11 a.m. ET with the discus while the track heats up at noon ET beginning with the 3000m run. The 4x400m relay concludes the meet at 6:30 p.m. ET. Live results for Saturday's action can be found here.

What's Hot: The Pieces You Want NOW
The decorator joins her mother and sister in running the California firm M. Elle Design. The family's Idaho retreat graced our December 2010/January 2011 cover.
Based in New York, this designer infuses his interiors and furniture line, Amalgam, with modern sophistication. Current projects include a Mississippi estate and a home in Aspen, Colorado.
In 18th-century France, the latest bedroom accessory, the chamber pot, prompted the invention of a new piece of furniture. Early bedside tables--some with legs styled after classical columns--kept the vessels from view by way of a hidden cabinet. Today, nightstands fulfill a different purpose, but one no less important, providing a place for a lamp, reading material, and more.
For designer Shawn Henderson, a drawer or shelf is a plus. "The more storage, the better," he says. Another key element is size: His rule of thumb is to have the nightstand no more than two inches taller than the mattress. If using a mixed set, he says, make sure the heights are consistent. "It's important for lamps to sit at the same level."
Decorator Marie Turner Carson uses both table lamps and wall-mounted ones, which can offer better reading light and free up space for books, flowers, and other objects. "Accessorizing," she says, "makes the bedroom feel finished."
The designers with bedside tables by Rose Tarlow Melrose House and Pacific Connections.
With its candlestick-shaped base and mahogany veneer, this American Empire--style table has a traditional bent, says Shawn Henderson. "This has an amazing sculptural quality," he says, and pictures it topped with a chinoiserie lamp; "It would also be handsome in a masculine room dressed in suiting fabrics." But it does lack a drawer, he points out. To Marie Turner Carson, the round top "can loosen up a space that's too angular--plus, there are no sharp corners." She suggests placing an elegant box on top to hold everyday essentials. 24" dia. x 28" h.; $3,435; ralphlaurenhome.com

When Clementine Kaye, archivist Beecher White's first childhood crush, shows up at the National Archives asking for his help, Beecher tries to impress her by showing her the secret vault where the president of the United States privately reviews classified documents. They accidentally happen upon a priceless artifact - and find themselves suddenly entangled in a web of deception, conspiracy, and murder.
DrivenThoughtful Interesting
From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, there have been more than two dozen assassination attempts on the President of the United States. Four have been successful. But now, Beecher White - the hero of the number one New York Times best seller The Inner Circle - discovers a killer in Washington, D.C. who's meticulously re-creating the crimes of these four men. Historians have branded them as four lone wolves. But what if they were wrong?
This is a service to those Brad Meltzer fans out there- BEFORE you listen to The Fifth Assassin, which I was really looking forward to, you need to re..Show More »-listen to The Inner Circle so that you are caught up on all of the nuances at the beginning of the book. It has been awhile between book releases, so frankly I had forgotten all but the major premise of the previous book.... so just a heads up to reread the prequel to this book first in order to get the most enjoyment from it.« Show Less

West Lafayette, Ind. -- Miami's women's swimming team opened its 2012-13 season at Purdue Friday night, losing by a score of 179-109 to the Boilermakers.
Though the RedHawks didn't have any individual winners, they had numerous swimmers who swam to top three times. Senior Maegan O'Connor placed second in the 100 butterfly with a time of 41.47 and senior Stacie Clagg had the second-best time in the 200 individual medley.
RedHawk swimmers who placed third in their individual races included freshman Aubrey Kluth in the 1000 freestyle (9:54.33), senior Leah Thornton in both the 100 (58.57) and 200 backstrokes (1:34.82), senior Laura Krueger in the 200 butterfly (1:34.75), Clagg in the 200 breaststroke (2:21.35) and senior Bekka Westrick in the 100 fly (41.53).
The women swim a coed dual meet with the RedHawk men at home Saturday afternoon as both teams host Xavier. The first race begins at 2 p.m. at the Corwin Nixon Aquatic Center. There is no admission charge.

Cloud computing firm Huddle knows the perks of being backed by the CIA's nonprofit investment arm, In-Q-Tel.
The San Francisco-based company has steadily expanded its U.S. customer base to include the Health and Human Services and Defense departments, following a strategic partnership last year in which In-Q-Tel invested an undisclosed amount of money to develop a version of Huddle's solution for the intel community (IC).
Huddle also is in talks with IC officials about the Intelligence Community Information Technology Enterprise strategy (ICITE), a five-year effort to standardize IT operations across the IC, said Alastair Mitchell, Huddle's co-founder and CEO.
"It would be a very natural fit for that program," he said.
Under its agreement with In-Q-Tel, Huddle has been developing a version of its content collaboration platform for the Homeland Security Department and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Mitchell said, adding that the work was formally launched within the past six months.
Mitchell wouldn't say how many users at those agencies will have access to Huddle's collaboration platform. But he did say the capabilities being rolled out are large implementations, as opposed to pilot programs.
For its role in the ICITE strategy, NGA, along with the Defense Intelligence Agency, has stood up the first iteration of the IC desktop, which supports about 2,000 DIA and NGA users, IC Chief Information Officer Al Tarasiuk said in September. That service will be scaled up to support the entire IC, providing standard email services and messaging and collaboration tools for employees to communicate across agencies.

I found Paname by chance while shopping at a department store back in 2003. At the time I was wearing Sublime by Jean Patou also. I wore it at the office and soon all my coworkers started asking me the name of the fragrance and where to purchase it. I gave it as a gift to one of my friends and she still loves it but unfortunately we haven't been able to find it and were told that it had been discontinued, even when she traveled to France. I am ordering today and hope that it still smells as great as it did years ago.

Sometimes members send a contact to ask why their post was deleted, and we let them know that the problem wasn't their post. Though in most cases, they probably realise what happened when they read back and see that the post they responded to is gone.

I have also had posts edited because topics (such as political views) made an appearance during an attempt to fill the empty ether during a WW game.
On reflection, none of these were unmerited, and I felt that I had no cause for complaint.
Actually, I've been following this thread with interest, looking in on it daily, (and have made a point of reading it from the beginning) to see what has been discussed and how it is being dealt with.
Firstly, I'm very happy to see that such matters can openly be discussed on these fora, and, in the course of this thread, the MR public, and, even more so, the mods have made some points worth pondering.
While I can see that attempting to define - and track - trolling can be rather difficult, I also think that few people have difficulty with understanding when they have been personally insulted, or addressed offensively, or treated with contempt, (rather than someone merely taking issue - sometimes strongly - with an opinion they have posted).
Has the possibility of nuanced versions of time-outs been considered? Such as imposing a version of time-out which might be termed a troll-out, as distinct from a time-out, and which might appear as such when imposed?
Moreover, while I know full well that passions run high during election campaigns, or the actual election itself, I must say that I was stunned at the number of posters whom I would view as holding opinions which might mark them as being of a more liberal persuasion who appeared to have earned themselves time-outs on - or immediately after - the night of the presidential election in the US. Indeed, in their absence, I subsequently felt honour bound to wade into the various......discussions......on abortion, a topic I had studiously avoided on these fora for years given its potential for explosive and divisive and vicious debate.
I told myself that, of course, there was no political bias in the imposition of time-outs, and that those of a more liberal persuasion may well have become involved en masse in some political brawl that I missed entirely because of work and time differences. However, it did seem to me that many liberals were hors de combat for periods which ranged from a few hours to a few days, whereas those whom they (indeed, we, if I am completely honest) occasionally engage in full, frank, robust and meaningful exchanges of opinions remained in possession of the virtual battlefield. Perhaps it is just a matter of perception......
Nevertheless, I do think that a slightly more forceful tone might be taken by mods towards those who post gratuitously nasty, and offensive posts, and seek to insult the individual rather than addressing the argument (yes, trolling, in other words; unfortunately, I don't have an example to hand; it's the old cliché, we know them when we see them.....)
|Nov 25, 2012, 04:24 PM
We get tons of "personal insult" reports that end up not being acted upon after discussion by several mods as we just don't see the insult.
Perhaps some of it comes from the thick mod skin we get along with the larger avatars? We may just be less sensitive than other users in that respect. In those cases we generally seek the opinions of others on the staff before ultimately not taking action.
We tend to delve deeper into them if the apparent target of the insults is the reporter, but the result is the same. If we don't see it, we don't act. These are the posts where it would really be helpful if the reporter might come ask why no action was taken, using the contact form.
Any left/right bias is perceived as there are mods all over the political spectrum. Some of us participate in PRSI occasionally, others don't. We generally don't moderate threads we participate in. Most infractions in PRSI come from deviating from the Rules for Appropriate Debate, i.e. how the post was presented, and not what the opinion is. I personally have no problem in moderating a post whose position I fundamentally agree with, but which is presented in such a way that it violate the rules.

It's a matter of trust, either people trust the staff of MacRumors (Arn's appointee's) to do the right thing or they don't. If they don't then I don't see how that can be fixed.

To be clear though, considering what this website is about, I think the moderation rules are fairly relaxed and I don't have a problem with them, for the most part. I've received 1 warning and two reminders, since I've joined. Frankly I don't really understand why I received them, but is it something that I lose sleep over? No.
The biggest thing that really confuses me is when I see posts saying, "This guy is trolling," and those posts are fine. When I posted "Ignore the troll" I was sent a note to say that this is name-calling. I don't see the difference between the two posts, whichever way I look at it, and I consider my English comprehension to be pretty good.

If we see someone posting about specific moderation in a thread, we'll almost always delete the post and send a reminder (or whatever is appropriate in context of the member's moderation history) to let the member know why the post was deleted.
Sometimes, depending on the context, we might take the trouble to ask in the thread if the member is waiving his/her right to privacy. We only do that if we really feel it can serve a purpose, because:
So, tl;dr: It's the responsibility of the member to remember to state that s/he's waiving the right to privacy. If not, the post may be deleted.
What we've tried to do is to differentiate between attacking a member, and "attacking" the content of a post. The first is against the rules. The second is something we want to allow. This particular example you bring up is a bit of a grey zone, but as of now we treat "Troll!" or "Ignore him, he's a troll" as name-calling, and "I wonder if you're just trolling" etc. as a comment on the content of a post.
It can be discussed, and how these things are experienced by members is something we're very interested in. So if you feel "You're a troll" should be treated the same as "Are you trolling?" etc, go ahead and say so. We take that kind of feedback seriously when we discuss these issues.

theSeb, you should be careful with the whole "trolling" thing in your posts. The line is even blurrier than you might think, and is definitely much blurrier than annk has described it in the post I copied above.
There was a thread where a user (I don't even remember who it was) was trolling hard, and arguing with several other users. I posted a picture of a (obviously fake and photoshopped) product called "Troll-b-gon," suggesting that the thread needed some. The post was deleted and I received a warning for it, saying I was "name-calling." I did not address any user, I did not direct my statement toward any user, I did not call anybody out by user name, I didn't even reply to or copy another user's post - but apparently, this action of mine was equated to directly calling someone a name, and not addressing the quality of posts.
I still have the PM I received and would be happy to share it, if anybody is interested in the details (although I haven't left any out).
The purpose of this post is to illustrate the fine line between expressly calling someone a name, and addressing the content of a user's posts; or, more specifically, that there isn't always a line between the two.
I would scream just to be heard, as if yelling at the stars - I was bleeding just to feel.
You would never say a word, kept me reaching in the dark - always something to conceal.
|Nov 26, 2012, 09:34 AM
There are no easy answers to this one and balamw's post demonstrates it superbly. When I posted, "Ignore the troll," I was actually trying to calm to the thread down and steer it back towards the topic. I certainly wasn't trying to insult the person that was "trolling" in the thread. To me being called a troll is not actually an insult, because it's simply a classification of a person based on their acts. It's like saying ignore the man. If you have A,B and C, then you're a man so if I call you a man, then I am not insulting you. If someone calls someone else a troll, it's based on the fact that the person is exhibiting certain behaviours/traits that are associated with the concept of "internet trolling". To me troll and idiot are at different levels, but I could play devil's advocate and argue the other way too.
As for the specific examples:
"You're an idiot!" – yes, that's an insult
"What an idiot!" – yes, that's an insult
"What an idiotic post!" – no, I don't think that's an insult
"Only an idiot would make such a post!" – yes, that's an insult
"<user> is a joke!" - insult
"Surely, you must be joking!" – not an insult
"What a joke!" – not an insult
I am sure others will have different views and this brings us back around full circle. People will interpret things differently and some people have thicker skins than others. It's nearly impossible to have a practical implementation of a moderation policy that is unambiguous and not open to misinterpretation.
I've had posts deleted without explanation, but they were usually full of my weird-pseudo-intellectual-combined-with-sarcasm-and-barely-anything-to-do-with-the-topic sense of humour.

Certainly if I were to call someone stupid or an idiot it was because I felt that their behaviors/traits are associated with the concept of stupidity/idiocy. etc...
Per the rules, you are free to classify their posts or acts that are in evidence, but not the users themselves.
Even far more generic terms can go afoul of the name-calling rules depending on context.
e.g. if someone posts "You getting all of this, buddy?" do you think the poster is implying that the user they are responding to is displaying attributes of mutual friendship?
fanboi, fandroid, iSheep, bub, buddy, chum, bro, jets, sharks, bloods, crips, etc... we see them all and most of the time they simply add little to the conversation.

|Nov 26, 2012, 10:46 AM
I can easily accept that any member doesn't agree with moderation that's been done, and I believe you meant what you wrote in your complaint about your intentions. I've had moderation overturned, and I'm fine with that - it's important to have a transparent process, where mistakes or misinterpretations can be rectified. But I think the response you received explains very clearly why your post was judged to be name-calling, and that any similar post brought to our attention would be treated the same way.
If you thought it was a blurry line to begin with, I would think that this response cleared it up.

I was banned for several days because tried to discuss a warning with a mod, in private I should add.
I had replied to several separate posters as separate posts rather than using a multiple reply. I got a warning that this was not allowed.
I had done this as there was very little in common between the three posts and felt this was far better for clarity than mushing them together. I asked the mod who had warned me privately why on earth it mattered given 'I wasn't exactly wasting paper!' and I was banned immediately without a reply to my question. No doubt he/she was totally within his/her rights and I was wrong.
I used to be a regular. After that I pretty much stopped using MacRumors and stayed with AppleInsider where the mods have always been really cool and never petty, to me at least.

Yes, I noticed the auto merge, it works nicely.
BTW. I only added my comment here as I assumed this entire thread was intended for a clearing of the air and condoned as such by you guys. Judging by the other reply above I am suspecting this isn't the case and apologies for even posting in this thread.

Rather than have people wave their right to privacy, why not just use PM and do everything privately? Do we all need to see everyones dirty laundry.

We only require members to waive their right to privacy if they wish to discuss their moderation in public. If they don't waive it, then we don't allow them to make public comments about specific cases of moderation because then we cannot respond and only one side of the story is presented.

Federal agencies are being held to higher standards of performance, transparency, and accountability than ever before. It's not enough to collect and share the right data – it has to be integrated, correlated and able to be transformed into real, actionable information that matters to the agency's programs and the mission.
But there's more than better decision making and information sharing at stake. By translating data into meaningful information, agencies can cultivate the ability to be proactive—even predictive—using tools that link data to their most mission-critical goals. That's the power of business analytics – and it can help your agency unleash capabilities to not only discover insights buried deep in your data but hone a new situational awareness and foresight as well.
Deloitte's Federal Business Analytics professionals have helped many federal agencies in their efforts to unlock the value buried deep in their data. We helped them use an integrated approach to stay focused on their agency's mission and business imperatives – not just the ins and outs of technology.
Planning, budgeting and forecasting, performance management and reporting, information sharing, collaboration and participation, legislative requirements and operating realities - we know how to help federal agencies in their efforts to create deep analytics capabilities to serve all these areas. And we can help get you there faster.

NEWORLEANS - Images of the transformation of Jackson Square into CBS Park are now starting to make their way around the world. The game itself is another massive undertaking of hooking up wires and satellites and a system of cameras to capture the action on the field and beyond.
CBS has set up a compound at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome that will serve as the nervous system for the broadcasts. The area is so big, they posted a map to navigate through it.
The production trailers are all built into 18-wheelers that travel with the CBS crews to each and every game.
For the Super Bowl, there are even more of them. Four days out from the game, hundreds of staff and crew are standing by waiting to for the kick off Sunday night.
'We've been on the ground here for the last year and a half on and off,' said Harold Bryant, Executive Producer and Vice President of Production for CBS Sports.
He helped lead the team to create both the Jackson Square park and the accompanying game day set inside the Superdome. WWL-TV's Katie Moore asked, 'How did you all come up with the concept to make it look like New Orleans, but still like CBS?' Bryant replied, 'Once we decided we met with our designers and they gave us pitches and we said, we want to look like we're part of the neighborhood. We're in the French Quarter. We want to see some of that wrought iron.'
That wrought iron is real, with each and every detail designed exclusively for CBS.
'The music, the graphics, we weave all that stuff in. We've upgraded all that stuff this year. So, it'll have a modern, fresh flavor to the broadcast,' Bryant said.
CBS Sports has a network of about 120 cameras in the Superdome, Jackson Square and around the city to use during what could very well be a record-breaking broadcast.
The network will be using its 4k technology to zoom in on controversial plays.
'So you see he has possession. We're showing that. We're going in even tighter to show that he's actually in bounds,' said Joel Hahn, a production team member.
The resolution is four times greater than high definition video.
'It's a little bit fuzzy when you go in, but if you think about it, this is the size of your picture and we're only taking that much of it, which is pretty astounding,' Hahn said.
'When you have all these cameras and equipment, you can't forget the basics. So, I want to make sure we're on the field. We're back in time to see the snap of the ball and we also want to show the emotion, the reaction shots of the coaches and players,' Hahn said.
They even have a trailer full of people looking at all the angles on each play to try and quickly cue up the replays. And after thousands of man hours to coordinate it all, it's almost Showtime.
'We are ready. I'm ready to kick now,' Bryant said.

Roscoe Riley Rules #2: Never Swipe a Bully's Bear (Paperback)
When Roscoe's stuffed pig goes missing, he is convinced that Wyatt, the class bully, is responsible. When Roscoe finds out where Wyatt keeps his teddy bear, he decides to give that old bully a taste of his own medicine. That will fix everything. Won't it?

The Waratahs played a superb second half to come from a fourteen point deficit to steal a win against the Blues.
The Blues scored three tries in the first half to lead 24 -10 at the break, only for the Waratahs to win 30 – 27.
The match was littered with handling errors, which cost the Blues yet again as they managed to get over the gain line, but simply could not finish. The Waratahs scored two tries and two penalties in the second half while keeping the Blues to only a penalty. There was a late chance for the Waratahs to wrap up the match, but Israel Folau's inexperience cost them the try. A cool penalty on the hooter by Bernard Foley saved his blushes and kept a ten year record for the Waratahs over the Blues in Sydney.
The Waratahs started strong, getting the first try of the match through Drew Mitchell, but the Blues hit back immediately, scoring against the run of play. Possession and territory stats were in favour of the home side, yet the Blues scored their second and third tries on turnover. The stronger team won the match though, as the Waratahs' basics were much better and their set pieces worked well.
John Kirwan and his Blues charges will be concerned as this match was in the bag and they somehow managed to lose it. There was a clear lack of calm under pressure and the amount of handling errors in the second half alone was in the double figures. Their backline might be full of strong runners, but they cannot get very far without the ball.
For the Waratahs, they will be concerned that their goal kicker Brendan McKibbin went off with a shoulder injury, but Bernard Foley stepped up in his absence to prove he can kick. Drew Mitchell was full of running and Israel Folau is building in confidence as he is taking on the defence more and more.
The Waratahs next host the Force while the Blues take on the Chiefs in Hamilton in what is sure to be a cracking encounter.

The Boston Indicators Project offers new ways to understand Boston and its neighborhoods in a regional, national and global context. It aims to democratize access to information, foster informed public discourse, track progress on shared civic goals, and report on change in 10 sectors: Civic Vitality, Cultural Life and the Arts, the Economy, Education, the Environment, Health, Housing, Public Safety, Technology, and Transportation.
Transportation is the movement of cargo -- people, animals or material goods – from one place to another. Modes of transportation in contemporary life include walking, bicycling, cars, buses, trucks, aircraft, freight and passenger trains, subways, ships and boats.
Children mirror a community's values, progress and challenges. If a community's children are thriving, it is likely that the whole community is doing well. The Boston Indicators Project tracks progress through 2030—Boston's 400th Anniversary - when many of today's children and youth will be civic, political and business leaders and their children will be in school.
The Greater Boston region has a long history as a birthplace of revolution and innovation and is packed with firsts - the nation's first public park and public library, breakthroughs in medicine and "green" building. With a newly revitalized waterfront and some of the nation's - and the world's - top colleges and universities, the region - with Boston at its core - attracts students from around the world and top-tier talent in all fields to its dynamic and diversified knowledge economy.
Sustainable development refers to patterns of growth that integrate environmental and human health, economic dynamism, and social cohesion and equity. Sustainable development is multi-dimensional by definition: biodiversity health; the availability of jobs at a living age; regional and per capita carbon dioxide emissions; the availability of fresh water and open spaces; etc. All of these factors increase the quality of life.
The Boston Indicators Project's comprehensive Framework of indicators and measures reflects an intensive, participatory selection process that included hundreds of Bostonians and reviewed by thousands more. Beginning with positive goals for the future, these data-rich indicators and measures provide an objective way to assess current conditions, trends over time and patterns of relationships, as well as outcomes for specific groups, neighborhoods, the City of Boston and the Metro Boston region. The Complete Project Framework can also be re-sorted into crosscutting topics and civic agenda goals.
View the Complete Framework of Indicators
The 2012 Boston Indicators Report shows that standard top-level economic indicators don't tell us everything we need to know about the state of jobs and equity in our local and regional economy. We need to reinvent Boston's innovation economy through greater opportunity and shared prosperity.
The Boston Indicators Project produces biennial reports chronicling Boston's accomplishments and the full array of challenges facing the city and region. These reports build on expert and stakeholder convenings, data analysis, and reviews of recent research. Over the years, they have helped to catalyze an on-going set of conversations throughout the community about our region's economic competitiveness and the key challenges facing Boston.
The Measure of Poverty was released in September 2011. Findings show that the rates of poverty in Boston changed very little over the last twenty years, but is more deeply concentrated in single-parent families in particular neighborhoods. State and local budget cuts due to the recession may have long-term consequences in mitigating the effects of poverty. The Boston Indicators Project released another special report in 2008, Boston's Education Pipeline: A Report Card, which provided a comprehensive view of the entire arc of Boston's system of educational opportunities and outcomes, with an update in 2011.
The City of Boston is comprised of 16 Planning Districts and 26 neighborhoods, each with a unique history and identity.

Public safety is the peace of mind that results from the effective prevention of and/or response to events that endanger or threaten both individuals and the general public with physical, emotional or financial harm. Public safety encompasses both violent and non-violent crime, from domestic and street violence to cyber-security and white-collar crime. The Public Safety sector consists of the criminal justice system and law enforcement agencies as well as consumer protection and public health and public education agencies at all levels of government, from the US Department of Homeland Security to local first responders. It includes neighborhood crime watch groups, youth- and street-workers, community- and faith-based organizations, substance-abuse, mental health and other preventive programs as well as academic criminal justice departments and schools of law.
Community Powered Recovery! - Recovers.org uses technology and software to organize communities in preparation for natural disasters.
StreetSafe Boston is taking a new multifaceted approach to addressing the problem of youth violence, which is concentrated disproportionately in a subset of neighborhoods.
Introducing our new Blog, Shaping the Future, where we hope to engage in dialogue about where we hope to be and see ourselves, our neighborhoods, city and region in the year 2030

If an item you would like to purchase is out of stock, you can place a Special Order Inquiry. REVOLVE will then check the availability and obtain an approximate arrival date for the item, if available. Typically, it takes up to 3-4 weeks to verify this information.
Placing a Special Order Inquiry is absolutely free and there is no obligation to follow through with a purchase.
Sort by body type:
I love the material and fit. I am 160 m and 52 kg and took XS. The sleeves are long, but I usually roll up my sleeves anyway. Very comfortable material, though the fit is better for someone tall. Still, a very good purchase!
I was super hesitant when ordering this top because the description says that the model is wearing an XS and it does seem a bit slouchy on her. BUT I'm so glad that I took a chance because this top is such a must-have staple. It is a little loose, but not overly shapeless or anything. The material is very comfortable and soft as well. I definitely recommend this top if you are looking for a classic long sleeve- just as the title suggests. For reference, I am 98 lbs, 5'4" and petite.
Fell in love with these tops: bought 3 in all colors available. They looked great first wearing, than came disappointment! After a couple of washings, they were covered with pills, and entire shirt devolved: material looked strangely fuzzy. Lesson: tops made of rayon cannot be washed. Might hold up better if taken to cleaners.

THIS IS A NEW FULL VERSION, IF YOU HAD THE FILE NAMED OZx_Goose_HD_v1.00.zip AND YOU WANT TO UPDATE, PLEASE GO HERE TO DOWNLOAD.
The Grumman Goose first took to the skies in 1936 during the golden years of aviation and was immortalised in the TV series "Tales of the Gold Monkey". Within the sim fraternity there have been a number of addon versions of this classic aeroplane and Microsoft's rendition of this rare and famous aircraft leapt into our simulated skies towards the end of 2006 with the release of the final version of their long running simulator series - FSX.
The Grumman Goose itself is extremely rare with only 345 airframes produced. There are approximately 60 remaining in service throughout the world today and the number of pilots with endorsements on this type are few and far between. We have been lucky enough to have access to a pilot who has flown the Goose and has been able to assist with our remodelling of the aircraft's performance files.
The Goose has proven extremely versatile and has seen operational service as a freighter, passenger transport, military transport and even as a flying yacht installed with bars and toilets. It has held roles with Army, Airforce, Navy, Coastguard and has served around the far flung, four corners of the world.
Microsoft's model of the G21A Grumman Goose has been a sleeper; well received in certain quarters but providing generally ho-hum graphics and flight model. It had a bland interior and was crying out for some high quality paints. When the team at AussieX started investigating this aircraft for our HD Redux treatment it was also discovered that the performance files for this bird were derived from an assortment of different Goose models; a lot of fine tuning was going to be required to get this bird to behave as close to the real life aircraft as possible.
We think we have succeeded with this ambitious tasking. We offer two different models of the Goose - the original model with 450hp Pratt & Whitney radials and an uprated version dubbed the 'HP' (High Performance) with more powerful 650hp engines. Both models have had significant performance tweaking to make them behave as much as possible like their real life counterparts. In addition to this remodelling of the flight characteristics we have overhauled the interior of the aircraft with high resolution virtual cockpits. Engine gauges have been recalibrated for both engine models of our Goose and there are a number of different virtual cockpits available in our aircraft.
Finally we have provided six high-definition paint schemes for this aircraft in both 450hp and HP-650hp versions. These 4096 pixel textures include every rivet, screw, dent and panel-line hand placed on normal, specular and diffusion texture maps. What this means for you the pilot is a gorgeous rendition of the metal framed G21 Goose just waiting to grace your monitor with realism and authenticity.
Please take the time to download our freeware update to this rare and beautiful aircraft and let us know how much you enjoy her by posting your screenshots and stories.
Bravo...Beautiful job!
Thanks a million!
Thanks a million!
To all the team......what a great thing to do......I'm looking forward to getting it flying.....thanks a lot

The aircraft looks absolutely fabulous, but I am a bit confused.
Have ALL the original MS Gooses (Geese?) been modified?
Can I do an uninstall, there does not appear to be an uninstall command anywhere?
My ultimate objective is that I only want to retain about 2 or 3 of the aircraft in my library, and I want to be sure that these are the REDUX versions. (I know how to eliminate the aircraft I don't want).

Is it for FSX or FS9?

Men's Cross Country Finishes Second in Hagan Stone Classic on Saturday
October 2, 2010
GREENSBORO, N.C. The Pfeiffer University mens cross country team finished second out of four division two teams in the 2010 Hagan Stone Classic held on Saturday morning in Greensboro. The Falcons finished with 44 points with Catawba, but held the tiebreaker as sixth place runner Zach Gray was the difference.
Finishing just four points behind St. Andrews for the top spot, Will Oliver continued to lead the way with a fifth place finish in 28:55. Greg Kieler and Trey Sharpe followed, each with top-10 finishes, concluding in 29:37 and 29:41 respectively in the 8k race.
Cody Jones and Cody Bivens finished just four seconds from each other in 11th and 12th positions with times of 30:39 and 30:43. Gray, the deciding time in the tiebreaker, concluded 13th overall with his mark of 31:23. Zack Allen (16th/32:44), Grady Gaston (18th/34:41) and Nadjee Harrigan (19th/35:24) rounded out Pfeiffers afternoon.
We had a much better race today, commented head coach Scott Nolt. Hagan Stone Park is a quicker course as I was impressed with the improvements made since last week during our great morning race. Its the third close race weve had this season. I wish we could have caught St. Andrews, but I like how we are looking, especially with four freshmen and a sophomore in the top five this week.
Pfeiffer will now head to McAlpine Park in Charlotte on October 15 for the first of three races at that venue. As the host for the Conference Carolinas meet and NCAA II Regional, McAlpine Park will host the Royals Cross Country Challenge in two weeks.
