You have to blindly unscrew the two screws along the side of the ice maker. Once that is done simply remove the ice maker to the side to gain access to the electrical plug. Undo the plug and remove the ice maker completely. Install the adapter on the new ice maker and install it in much the same way you removed the old. I started the (2) 1/4" screws before installing the new ice maker to make it easier to hang. Pay careful attention to the wire harness and dress it out of the way. Finally tighten the two screws and make sure the bail wire is down to begin ice making once again.

It was like my dream, the one where something is chasing me, and I stumble in the brush and brambles, and my feet turn into fish that slip out from under me as I run.
The two of us were driving toward something we couldn't see. It was the beginning of everything. The end would come too soon.
There was something disturbing sliding around under the surface of my family, but the truth was more than I'd bargained for, and Mom was practiced at lying about it before I was even born.
Like the other women, I had a dark cave in my body, I carried secrets in my hips, and swallowed when I should have spoken out.

Avere Demonstrates Milestone Cloud Performance with Amazon S3 in Popular Storage Benchmark Public Cloud Storage Results Rival Traditional NAS with Avere FlashCloud Business Wire PITTSBURGH -- April 7, 2014 Avere Systems, a leading provider of enterprise storage for cloud enabled data centers, today announced that it has posted the first ever SPECsfs2008 NFS.v.3 results using a public cloud storage service as persistent storage. The results prove that with an edge-core storage architecture, the cloud can replace traditional storage arrays as the repository for corporate data. Avere Systems FXT Edge filers with FlashCloud™ for Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) from Amazon Web Services (AWS) provided Cloud NAS storage that enabled the performance scalability via familiar NAS protocols on customer premises at the edge of the storage network, while leveraging object-based cloud storage services provided by Amazon S3, in the core of the storage network. The use of Amazon S3 eliminated the need for owning, provisioning and managing the storage capacity. "Until now, public cloud storage has been used primarily for backup and archive applications because of poor performance due to latency imposed by the physical distance of the data center to the cloud, and the simple gateway products used to translate file to object protocols are not designed to handle the demands of enterprise applications," said Ron Bianchini, Avere president and CEO. "These results show that with a scalable, cloud-ready storage architecture, organizations can begin to move data currently stored on premises to services like Amazon S3 in order to take advantage of the enormous cost savings." The tested Avere Edge filer configuration consisted of three FXT 3800 nodes backed by the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and achieved 180,141 ops/sec with an overall response time of 0.86 msec. A similar test run with the same nodes backed by a ZFS-based NAS system achieved 180,043 ops/sec with an overall response time of 0.87 msec. The cloud storage service used in the test included a subscription to Amazon S3 to store data, and a separate subscription to AWS Direct Connect providing private 1Gbps connectivity from the Avere Edge filer cluster directly to Amazon S3. About Avere FlashCloud Avere FlashCloud on FXT Series Edge filers integrates public and private object storage with legacy NAS into a global namespace (GNS) and provides scalable performance for users everywhere via familiar NAS protocols. FXT Edge filers provide enterprise-class NAS functionality, including NFS and CIFS protocols, scalable performance, and high-availability, to support any applications running on NAS. Together, FXT Edge filers and object storage provide optimized performance and capacity scaling and enable 70% or more savings in total cost of ownership (TCO). Avere FlashCloud is generally available to customers immediately in April 2014. About SPEC SPEC is a non-profit organization that establishes, maintains and endorses standardized benchmarks to evaluate performance for the newest generation of computing systems. Its membership comprises more than 70 leading computer hardware and software vendors, educational institutions, research organizations, and government agencies worldwide. About Avere Systems Avere is radically changing the economics of data storage. Avere's solutions give companies – for the first time –the ability to put an end to the rising cost andcomplexity of data storage by allowing customers the freedom to store files anywhere in the cloudor on premises without sacrificing the performance, availabilityor securityof their data.Based in Pittsburgh, Avere is led by veterans and thought leaders in the data storage industry and is backed by investors Lightspeed Venture Partners, MenloVentures, Norwest Venture Partners and Tenaya Capital.

Josef Martin Kraus (1756-1792): Klavierwerke
- Josef Martin Kraus (1756-1792)
- Klavierwerke
- Ronald Brautigam
- CD i **;
- Künstler: Ronald Brautigam (Klavier)
- Label: BIS, DDD, 2003
- Bestellnummer: 6649670
- Erscheinungstermin: 24.3.2006
ProduktinfoJosef Martin Kraus was the almost exact contemporary of Mozart, and as a matter of fact one of his last compositions was a song on the occasion of the great composer's death. Such parallels have led to Kraus being labelled 'the Swedish Mozart' (in spite of his German origins) but this is misleading: Kraus was a highly original composer in his own right, as shown by the large-scale Sonata in E major on this disc where remnants of the musical Sturm und Drang are combined with classical elements and early hints of the approaching Romantic era.
Indeed Haydn, who Kraus met in Vienna in 1782, remembered him much later as 'one of the greatest geniuses I have met', lamenting his demise as 'an irreplaceable loss to our art.' First and foremost a composer of operas and orchestral music - Haydn treasured a copy of his Symphony in C minor - Kraus wrote a small amount of works for the piano, all of which are included on the present disc. They range from incidental pieces such as the Swedish Dance, an idealized imitation of folk music, and the Two Curious Minuets (probably written as a musical dig at Johann Nikolaus Forkel, known to posterity mainly for his biography of J. S. Bach) to the two ambitious Sonatas.
The various facets of this intriguing composer are demonstrated here by Ronald Brautigam, whose recordings of the complete solo piano works by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven (an ongoing cycle) on the fortepiano has received high acclaim worldwide: 'Brautigam finds more colour in the fortepiano than any other player I have heard', 'one of the most discerning Haydn pianists around' and 'an artist fully in tune with the both the composer and his idiom' are only some of the comments made by reviewers.
"It almost goes without saying that Brautigam revels in the effectiveness of this music on such a marvellous instrument. His effortless technique brings out all of the charm and, where necessary, the Sturm und Drang passion to Kraus's sometimes remarkably adventurous piano writing. The recording is placed in a Church acoustic with a generous reverberation. This helps the atmosphere, without detracting from the all-important detail in this music. I congratulate Bis's engineer Ingo Petry on the sound of this recording: one has the feeling one is being given a one-to-one private recital, seated a comfortable distance from the piano, but still able to see every bead of sweat on the player's forehead. I find myself increasingly drawn to the fortepiano sound, and be warned - modern instruments can end up sounding quite flat and dull by comparison." Musicweb-International 05 / 2006

Sincerity: Tom Pick's Response
Tom Pick of WebMarketCentral contributes his thoughts about the role of sincerity in social media:
"The secret of acting is sincerity. If you can fake that, you've got it made." – George Burns
Okay, seriously, sincerity is critical. I think you're aware of some recent examples where people tried to blog pretending they were someone they were not – and got busted for it. I make it very clear who I am and where I'm coming from, and that I don't take money for blogging. So if I write that I think something is cool, I really think that. Sincerity and authenticity go hand-in-hand, and transparency is what helps readers verify those

Labassa is a fine example of ornate boom-style decoration.
The legacy of the gold rush lives on in the grand boom-style mansions that grace Melbourne and rural cities today. These late Victorian houses are gloriously over the top, a reminder of when some hopeful gold diggers became instant millionaires and prosperous industrialists ruled the day.
In "Marvellous Melbourne", property prices soared and the movers and shakers built their dream homes inspired by European villas. Stonnington Manor in Toorak, for example, was built for John Wagner, a partner in Cobb and Co coaches.
The fashion was for ornate decorations and even ordinary houses had intricate iron lace, complex tiled verandahs and elaborate roof decorations. Terraces had ornamental parapets and single-storey houses had arches and sometimes towers.
Labassa is a fine example of ornate boom-style decoration.
Unfortunately, some of these beautiful houses were demolished or stripped of their grand features from the 1950s to the 1980s, when the style was out of fashion.
"People now have a fondness for this decoration," says Dr Kerry Jordan, an architectural historian with Heritage Victoria. "After the simplicity of modernism, a lot of people are attracted to the decoration of the Victorian period."
During the late-Victorian period (1875-1901), there was money around and decorative features could be mass produced for the first time. Even modest houses could have fancy features.
Dr Jordan says houses had parapets with balustrades decorated with urns, balls and figures. Cast-iron panels were common on terrace houses.
If houses were not rendered, polychromatic exteriors were popular, with patterns created using different-coloured bricks. Verandahs had beautiful patterns in tessellated or encaustic tiles.
One of the problems of living in a late-Victorian building is the number of small separate rooms, Dr Jordan says. "The obsession with privacy and keeping everything separate is quite different to the way we live today."
Victorians loved busy, colourful interiors and rooms were decorated with patterned wallpapers, elaborately carved and patterned furniture, ceiling roses and plaster decoration, bay windows, carved doors, ornate fireplaces with tiles and mantles.
The Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works was set up in 1891 and running water and flushing toilets or water closets were a big improvement. Electricity and gas were also introduced.
Modest examples of the boom style are found today in inner-city suburbs such as Footscray, Yarraville, Kensington, Carlton, Richmond and South Melbourne. The wealthy tycoons built bigger houses further afield in suburbs such as Brighton, Hawthorn, Malvern, Essendon and Moonee Ponds.
Dr Jordan advises renovators to check the Heritage Victoria or National Trust websites for craftsmen or replica products. Wreckers' yards may have some original features. "These houses are not to everyone's taste. They're probably still too elaborate for some but they are appreciated by a lot of people."
Building work slowed during the depression of the early 1890s and Queen Anne and Federation styles began to develop gradually as boom styles went out of fashion.
Hallmarks of the style
-Italianate exterior features such as parapets, arches and rendered walls.
-Polychromatic buildings with different-coloured bricks.
-Intricate iron lacework, triple windows and coloured glass.
-Complex tiled patterns on verandahs and paths.
-Lavish ornamentation inside, such as wallpaper, stencils, plasterwork and carved door frames.
-Fireplaces with patterned tiles, a mantle shelf and over mantle.

Comment: Re:80% of iPhone users? (Score 1) 422
by wombert (#28644271) Attached to: Standalone GPS Receivers Going the Way of the Dodo
I use a cell phone holder that mounts to the air vent on the dashboard - it's a generic holder that expands far enough side-to-side to accommodate the iPhone, and has a gap at the bottom that's wide enough for the phone charger to be plugged in so I don't waste battery life while using the GPS functions. It's mounted upright (not sideways) but that still works and is visible enough from my driver's seat.

No comparison offensively.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
Keep in mind that the Reds have a million dollar option on Castro that I would guess that there is about an 80% chance that Wayne will pick up. Not saying he will be starting but he will be the back-up.

I would love to have Cesar Izturis to team with Brandon Phillips in the middle of the Reds infield. I watched him last night against the Nationals. Had a homerun, and while not a homerun hitter, I think the guy would take off with the Reds in Great American Ballpark. With Freel, Izturis and Phillips, the Reds would have a lot of speed in the lineup.

Update from my original post. Dodgers has acquired Wilson Betemit from the Braves. Cesar Izturis will once again be without a starting position when Jeff Kent comes off the DL next week.
Lugo is currently negotiating with TB. He wants 4 years at 9 Mil per.
He won't be playing for TB then.Originally Posted by BuckeyeRedleg
He is having a career year at TB - .309 BA + .371 OB% = .875 OPS (12 dingers)
I'm sure that is influencing his contract demands; but if anyone falls for it, then they are fools. The guy is a career .751 OPS guy (slightly above league avg for SSs).
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
no doubt and I would hope the Reds stay very far away from this guy.Originally Posted by GAC
I'd go after Itzurus too... Eventually when Mueller comes back he'll be displayed again. And the Dodgers were even talking about Tejada. Would be a good move to snag him IMO then flip Clayton to a team like the Jays.
There's not a chance. They had a comparable player, and muc cheaper even with a contract coming up, in Lopez.Originally Posted by BuckeyeRedleg
Krivsky has options. I personally think they'll move Phillips to SS next season, and try to fill the void at 2B. And that could very well be a Freel (with an RA backup & platoon at 1B w/ Hat).
We'll see. But they do have options.

So I've owned this lantern for about two years now and the bottom line, I'm very happy with it, as I am with all Primus products I own, and would buy it again. With the case this lantern is very packable and lightweight. I have packed this lantern in my backpack and check it on a plane multiple times and two years later, I am still using the first mantle.I'd say the reasons I grab this light over all others is that for a low weight cost you can have a lantern that will light your camp off the same fuel source as your stove. Additionally I really like the light it produces. It is a warn natural light that fits into the environment as opposed to the somewhat harsh LED light. Everyone I've ever camped with while using this light has mentioned that same thing. If you buy this, you will happy with it! Do it!On a side note, Moosejaw and their reward program is great! I think I got this light for free, but would have gladly paid for it.
I have always been an avid camper. For the past ten years I have been camping with my Scout Troop in the middle of the Arcadia Woods. Having reliable equipment with easy to replace parts are a must. I highly recommend this product.
This is a very bright and efficient lantern great for winter camping on long dark days. Its bright enough to illuminate a small campsite. Adding the mantels to the lantern was also very easy and simple (sometimes tie-in mantels are frustrating with other lanterns, but not this one). The lantern comes with an ignitor on the side which makes igniting the lantern easy to due with thick gloves or mittens on. No more messing with matches or lighters when its freezing out. Basically, its everything you've ever wanted out of a lantern thats small enough to can fit in your backpack.
Although headlamps and smaller LED lanterns are great, I love to have to nice propane lantern around camp to create a relaxing ambience. Needless to say, this thing does not disappoint. It puts out enough light to illuminate your camp area but can be dialed down to create a nice relaxing light. It's super quiet and would be very easy to forget it's on if it weren't for the light it produces. There was 1 mantle included so you'll want to make sure to order spares. Assembling them is very easy, just be mindful of the piezo as it could accidentally tear the mantle.All the metals and glass seem to be high quality and durable and I have no doubts this thing will last for many more years.
Ive had my Primus lantern for 3 or 4 weeks a year for 10+ years of almost hassle free use. Adjustable from bright intense to low and calm. Super bonus is that I only have to carry one type of fuel for both light and cooking rather than packing around fuel and batteries. Downside is remembering to pack extra mantels and dong the math on fuel consumption.
I'd buy one again if I didn't already have one. It's super light, easy to pack, and puts off enough light to cover most any small campsite. I'm set up with other primus gear, so this goes right along with my stove and cooking items... throws off some decent heat too, nice in the cold months!Initial set up can be a bit tricky, but it's nothing a quick trip to youtube.com won't fix. There are dozens of reviews and instructional videos to help with any problems you may have.
It's about the size of a tennis ball, and will light up your whole camp. If your thinking about buying it you'll love it. I know that everyone been talking up the LED lanterns, but they don't even compare to this one, plus it can be used as a heater when it gets cold. The run time is about 4 to 5 hour with a 100 gram canister. It comes with a nice case, and a cable to hang it. The starter works first time every time and the whole lantern seem pretty durable.

MILAN — Milan's baseball team pulled out a dramatic win Wednesday to give coach Adam Gilles a milestone victory.
The Big Reds overcame a 3-0 deficit in the last two innings to edge New Boston Huron 4-3 and give Gilles his 200th career win.
Jeremy Maas stroked a one-out RBI single in the bottom of the seventh for the winning run. Maas was 3-for-4 and Jon Spence and Noah Bellers picked up two hits apiece for the 2-3 Big Reds, who were playing their Huron League opener. Alex Berge earned the pitching win in relief.
Gilles is in his 11th season and has a 200-90-4 record.

Carlson 8, Wyandotte 6
GIBRALTAR — Aaron Tenney did a little of everything for the Marauders.
He had a pair of hits and drove in a run. Tenney was the winning pitcher, giving up six hits and a walk before leaving the mound to take over in left field. He made a diving catch to end the game.
"That saved one run and maybe two," Carlson coach Chad Liptow said.
Mario Kasuba, Jeremy Bagnall and Joe Swiecki also had two hits for 4-1 Carlson, which is 3-0 in the Downriver League.
Summerfield 8, Sand Creek 6
SAND CREEK — Jarret Garner had the big hit for Summerfield with a bases-loaded double when the game was tied 1-1.

The number of countries participating at this year's 55th edition of the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair has marginally increased to 19 with the United States of America returning after a long absence.
The country's biggest trade exhibition, being held under the theme "New Ideas to New Heights-Progress Through Innovations" started yesterday in Bulawayo and will close on Saturday.
President Mugabe is expected to officially launch the fair on Friday. Vice President Mujuru is also expected to be the guest speaker at this year's edition of the International Business Conference scheduled for today, an event likely to attract more than 350 delegates
ZITF chairman Mr Beki Nkomo told journalists yesterday that three more countries are participating compared to 16 that took part a year earlier, but could not disclose the actual number of exhibitors.
"Congo Brazzaville is making a maiden appearance at ZITF while Bangladesh, Nigeria and the US are returning after a long absence," said Mr Nkomo.
"We are confident that once again the exhibition will be fruitful. There is so much enthusiasm from both exhibitors and business visitors."
Other exhibitors have come from Iran, Brazil, Egypt, India, Botswana Mozambique, Namibia and Poland. But it is the return of the US that will capture the imagination of many observers.
The US has not been participating at the ZITF due to the frosty relations with Zimbabwe, which saw the US along with its European allies slapping the Southern Africa country with sanctions.
While the US has been away China came to the party and is consolidating its footprint as a major investor in Zimbabwe and many other emerging economies, last frontier markets, on the continent.
China has provided the biggest number of foreign exhibitors at this year's event, occupying over 1 000 square meters from 600 last year.
China has become one of Zimbabwe's biggest trading partners after Government adopted the "Look East Policy" at the turn of the millennium to counter the lull in bilateral relations between Zimbabwe and western countries opposed the country's land reform programme.
As such, in light of the growing economic ties the ZITF will tomorrow host a Zimbabwe-China Investment Conference, said Mr Nkomo. Trade between the two countries topped $1 billion last year.
Exhibitors from South Africa also increased their space from 600 square metres to 700 square metres.
"The exhibitor profile for the ZITF is a healthy mix of organisations from the ICT, carriers and training, manufacturing, agricultural equipment, engineering sectors and service," said Mr Nkomo.
There are also specialised exhibitions set to run concurrently with the main fair, among them A'sambeni Africa Business Tourism Expo.
Mr Nkomo said the expo has attracted local and international participants displaying a mix of business tourism related products and services.
"We welcomed the arrival of the elite group of 20 regional meetings, incentives, conventions and events buyers yesterday, eager to sample and promote the best of Zimbabwean MICE tourism," he said.
"Their mandate is to source new markets, link local players with international clients as well as to promote the country as a prime destinations for meeting and conventions."

Ill. powerbroker convicted in shakedown trial
CHICAGO A multimillionaire who wielded behind-the-scenes influence with Illinois politicians for decades was convicted Tuesday of conspiring to shake down the Oscar-winning producer of "Million Dollar Baby," one of the last chapters of the legal saga tied to disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich
Businessman William Cellini was known in political circles as the King of Clout because of top-tier contacts with successive Illinois governors of different parties and even a few U.S. presidents.
Cellini, convicted of conspiring to commit extortion and soliciting a bribe, was the last person scheduled to go on trial as part of the federal investigation of Blagojevich. He faces up to 30 years in prison.
Prosecutors said Cellini, a Springfield Republican, joined Blagojevich confidants Tony Rezko and Chris Kelly and another man in 2004 to pressure Hollywood executive Thomas Rosenberg for a $1.5 million donation to the Blagojevich campaign. If he refused, prosecutors said, the group threatened to pull strings to ensure that $220 million in state pension funds earmarked for Rosenberg's investment firm would be withheld.
A straight-faced Cellini tapped his folded hands at the edge of the defense table as the verdict was read, otherwise showing little emotion. On a spectator's bench nearby, his daughter's lips quivered.
Lead defense attorney Dan Webb, speaking afterward with Cellini standing next to him, highlighted that jurors acquitted his client on two other counts, attempted extortion and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.
"We obviously are going to appeal ... and we are confident we have a substantial chance of getting the case reversed," Webb said.
Cellini did not speak as he left the courthouse.
As it had with others, it was Cellini's association with Blagojevich that drew him into legal peril. He stood trial in the same courtroom where the impeached Democratic governor was convicted four months ago of a raft of charges, including seeking to sell or trade an appointment to President Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat.
The Chicago trial was a rare stint in the limelight for Cellini, who never became a household name despite his wealth and the influence he wielded that led to other monikers like the pope of Illinois politics. Putting someone of his stature on trial would, reform advocates had hoped, serve as a warning to businessmen or politicians to keep their noses clean - or else.
During her closing arguments, prosecutor Julie Porter played a secret FBI wiretap recording to jurors of a mirthful-sounding Cellini as he appeared to talk about the extortion. Porter focused jurors' attention on one sound: Cellini's laugh.
"That is what corruption sounds like," the prosecutor said, her voice suddenly rising.
Cellini wouldn't have pocketed any money from the shakedown. But by going along with it, he saw a chance to further ingratiate himself with the powers that be, Porter said. The payoff he hoped for? "Continued access, continued clout, continued status."
Webb had said Cellini got suckered into the plot, ending up "the ham in a ham sandwich."
"The defendant is not an accidental extortionist," said lead prosecutors Chris Niewoehner. He added later, "The ham doesn't know he's in the ham sandwich?"

measurement of the consumption of such content by both business and the population at large.
Unlike BRDIS, these surveys could be conducted periodically, such as every five years. The Bureau or the National Science Foundation would issue periodic reports of aggregated data, but detailed data would be available to qualified licensed researchers on the same basis as other business confidential information, through the Census data centers. Such survey data could never provide data to answer all of the research questions we pose in Chapter 3 but would be a considerable advance on the status quo, greatly contributing to our ongoing efforts to better understand the stock and flow of intangible assets in the economy.
We cast this proposal as a study recommendation because of the constraints of our charge and limitations of our expertise. Although a survey would be especially important for understanding copyrights because of the lack of a formal registration requirement, it would make little sense to mount a survey of copyrights alone, neglecting patents and trademarks. Nevertheless, other forms of intellectual property are outside our statement of work. Equally important, we are not in a position to judge two very important considerations that could render either or both surveys impracticable—the burden they would impose on respondents (e.g., the need for businesses to conduct patent and copyright searches) and the resources needed by agencies charged with carrying them out. The federal statistical agencies generally are tightly budget constrained and having to cut back activities.
The gap between what would be ideal in terms of data requirements for a thriving research agenda around copyright and what exists currently is large. Building easily accessible and comprehensive datasets relevant to the study of copyright-relevant industries is crucial for the development of a research community based around copyright issues. We hope the categories of data described in this chapter will help focus efforts to obtain and create high quality datasets for addressing some of the key policy questions described in this report.

Anthony Davis did everything but score. He didn't need to. The player of the year was simply sublime in Kentucky's 67-59 victory over Kansas on Monday night that gave the Wildcats their eighth national title. His presence in the lane forced Kansas to back off and look for other options, none of which were very good. When the Jayhawks did venture inside, he made them pay with ferocious blocks and rebounds. And though his shots weren't falling, he made sure they did for his teammates, setting them up with quick passes that never missed the mark. Despite finishing with just six points, all but two on free throws, Davis flirted with a double-double. He tied Joakim Noah's individual record for blocks in the NCAA championship game with six, grabbed 16 rebounds, had five assists and three steals. If this was the last game at Kentucky for the 19-year-old freshman, expected to be the No. 1 pick in this summer's NBA draft, it was a heck of a way to go out. To the surprise of no one, he w...

Rahn & Bodmer is classified as a "Category 1" Swiss bank and is therefore ineligible for the Department of Justice's historic non-prosecution program.

Ammo To Go... your one stop shop for all of your pistol ammo and rifle ammunition needs!
The 35 Whelen is a rimmed round designed for hunting rifles. It was designed by Col. Townsend Whelen and James Howe in 1922. Since that birth, 35 Whelen ammo has been loaded into a variety of different rifles, including bolt actions, single shot, and is most popular in lever action rifles.
35 Whelen rounds are suited for hunting all North American game but are too small to be considered an African big game cartridge. Featuring muzzle velocities in the range of 2,500-2,900 feet per second, the cartridge holds a firm place in the hearts of many North American hunters today.

This weekly column will explore traffic, modes of transport and commuter requirements in the city
Rewind to 2006. The AIADMK made a towering proposal to build a 300-km-long monorail system for Chennai with 18 corridors costing Rs. 16,000 crore, with 2011 as the deadline.
Also, the government in its 'Vision 2023' document said there may be metro or monorail systems for two cities other than the capital. Now, Chennai has a metro rail system that despite grappling with delays is moving ahead, and a monorail system that is also beginning to take shape.In the last seven years, the monorail project had its first tender annulled, its length and cost trimmed, and now, awaits the bidding process.
The project costing Rs. 8,500 crore covers 57 km with three elevated corridors — Vandalur to Velachery via Tamabaram East (23 km), Poonamallee to Kathipara via Porur (18 km) and Poonamallee to Vadapalani via Valasaravakkam (16 km).Just last month, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa convened a meeting to review the progress of this project.
Initially, it was speculated that the delay was caused by a lack of eligible participants when the first tender was floated; then, the confusion over whether this project had to be classified under the Indian Tramways Act, 1886 or the Railways Act marred it.
But clarity has now emerged on these two issues, say sources. The monorail project may be categorised under The Metro Railways (Construction of Works) Act, 1978, according to sources at the ministry of urban development. The ministry also sent back the feasibility report of the State government directing it to make changes owing to a few discrepancies in the report.
Some may say monorail systems with limited track lengths are ideal for cities with light traffic demands and for a city like Chennai, an extensive metro rail system ably supported by a Bus Rapid Transit may work much better. But there are others who endorse the monorail and say any public transit that can improve mobility is a welcome addition.
The joy of travelling in the 'parakkum rayil' (flying train) as the Mass Rapid Transit System is referred to by Chennaiites, has run out, mainly because of the ordeal it is to reach the MRTS stations or the main road from the stations. Blame the lack of inter-connectivity in the city.
There are a total of 17 MRTS stations through which 134 services are operated to ferry over 80,000 passengers per day. However, a majority of the stations, including Kotturpuram, Mandavelli, Greenways Road, Indira Nagar, and Thoraipakkam, do not have proper transport connectivity. Passengers who alight at MRTS stations are forced to walk quite a distance, and through poorly-lit and dirty approach roads to get on to the main road.
"Share autorickshaws should be allowed to park beneath MRTS stations to help commuters," suggests T. Ravikumar, president, All India Rail and Bus Passengers' Association.Another suggestion is that mini buses can be used as a feeder service.
"Let them enter MRTS stations, especially during peak hours," said Deepa. S. Kumar, a resident of Nandanam, who uses the MRTS daily to get to work. At present, mini buses are available only at Perungudi station.

Fantasia Barrino caused a firestorm of controversy when she posted a rant referencing gay marriage on her Instagram account. Some fans thought it sounded very anti-gay but the American Idol alum insists she's anything but.
"I Rise ABOVE IT ALL!!! THE WORLD IS GONE MAD. KIDS, THE GOVERMENT, THE church House… Everybody Trying!!!!!!!," the singer wrote. "It's a lot that going on that the Bible speaks about we should Not be doing. Weed legal in some places, Gay Marriage Legal BUT YET IM JUDGED!!! Im not doing Nothing for you… My Life!!!!"
PHOTOS: American Idols! Our Favorite All-American Bikini Babes
Fantasia's rant was a reference to the criticism she's had aimed at her because she began her affair with her baby daddy Antwaun Cook when he was still married. The two became parents just over a year ago.
The angry response brought about a quick statement from Fantasia's management saying she was a strong supporter of "the LGBT community," and Fantasia herself got back into the fray, posting, "I, Fantasia Monique Barrino, don't judge anyone because I don't want to be judged. The gay community is one of my largest supporters. I support the gay community as the support me. Bloggers please stop misrepresenting the facts."

if you haven't played this course you are missing one of the crown jewels of our area.

It is long, but you still have to bring your short game to compete.
How do they have the baskets set up in relation to the ball golf holes? Do holes play similarly, or are the disc holes completely different layout-wise from the ball holes?
The baskets are not setup on the greens (this would damage them of course) but they are generally off to the side or close too where the greens would be. I believe the greens and sand traps all play OB as well as the water of course.
You do however tee off from the same spots that the ball golfers do, so all of the tee pads are natural.
I can't wait to play this tomorrow in tandem with some ball golfers.
Played this course Sunday. It rained until we got there. Worth ever penny.
We are going again this Sunday. Definitely play #14 from the black tee.
Oh yeah, our group lost about 9 discs in various locations. 2 in lake at hole #1.
bring extra discs.
Guaranteed to lose at least one or two
Man, I'm gonna have to see this. I REALLY want to get a couple of people up to go sometime.
My putter still doinks harder than yours!
Daniel, I'm down to go sometime late next week possibly Thursday if you're interested. Still need to get my Boss out of one of the lakes. Good playing those few holes with you today at CV.
All I need is some tasty waves and a cool buzz and I'm all right.
I backhand as a hobby, I putt to pay the bills.
Let's get some peeps up for a trip. I'm anxious to go after hearing all these stories!
My putter still doinks harder than yours!
I got a Champion Wrath in the lake on #1 from a year or so ago.
I'll go next Saturday or Sunday

Abba Zabba is one of our forum members as well as a
developer with NVIDIA. One of his more recent demos is called
which focuses on transparency antialiasing. This is one of the better examples
of how much an improvement transparent antialiasing has with large numbers of
grass textures.
Earlier I mentioned an online tool I whipped together that will allow you to
have full control in comparing the screenshots that I took of F.E.A.R. and
Dungeon Siege II.
NOTICE: All of the images are in PNG format and weigh in at close to
1MB each. There are three areas for you to use and each one will pre-cache these
PNG images. On a broadband connection most of you will need to let the page load
for a three minutes or so before using it. I've created a left side and a right
side of the page where you can load screenshots ranging from no antialiasing, to
2xAA, 4xAA, TMS, and TSS. All of the screenshots are 1024x768 in size and
presented in a frame size of 470x600. You can pan around the images by clicking
and dragging them with your mouse. Also make use of the scrollbars as well.
Select your image with the drop down list, the pages default to the no AA
version on both sides. You can use the "Normal", "Zoom In", "200%", and "400%"
links as well to get a closer look at things.
Here are the links to the three areas. Remember, let the pages cache the
images for a few minutes before you begin comparing.
Oh and be sure to look closely at the female archer's hair. That is a texture
which is only cleaned up when transparency antialiasing is applied.

history and Cultural Theory
|E-Books #15
Simon Gunn, "History and Cultural Theory"
English | ISBN: 0582784085 | 2006 | 256 pages | PDF | 1 MB
In recent times there has been recognition of the growing influence of cultural theory on historical writing. Foucault, Bourdieu, Butler and Spivak are just some of the thinkers whose ideas have been taken up and deployed by historians.
What are these ideas and where do they come from? How have cultural theorists thought about 'history'? And how have historians applied theoretical insights to enhance their own understanding of events in the past?
This book provides a wide-ranging and authoritative guide to the often vexed and controversial relationship between history and contemporary theory. It analyses the concepts that concern both theorists and historians, such as power, identity, modernity and postcolonialism, and offers a critical evaluation of them from an historical standpoint.
Written in an accessible manner, History and Cultural Theory gives historians and students an invaluable summary of the impact of cultural theory on historiography over the last twenty years, and indicates the likely directions of the subject in the future.

Asia's missing girls: a traditional preference for boys, combined with technology that allows pregnant women to know the sex of their babies, has led to a huge gender imbalance in China and India.
Yang Xiaowei, a 35-year-old chicken farmer from a village in eastern China, has three children: two older daughters and a long-awaited baby boy.
Having a son is so important, Yang explains, that he and his wife were willing to risk the large fine that could result from violating the government's one-child policy.
"If you don't have a son, people will condescend to you," he says. "It's always been this way. If you have a son, your family will be given a certain social status. You can ask 10 people in the village, and they'll all tell you the same thing."
This kind of thinking is at the heart of a massive demographic problem facing China. Until recently, there wasn't much that anyone could do about having sons or daughters. But in the 1980s, ultrasound scanners--which were intended for checking the health of developing fetuses but also can show their sex--became widely available across Asia.
Suddenly it became easy for women to find out if they were going to have a boy or a girl. And in countries like China and India, women began deciding not to have their baby if it was going to be a girl. The result is a serious gender imbalance in both countries.
China now has the world's highest gender disparity among newborns: 119 boys are born for every 100 girls. That's well above the natural ratio of 105 boys for every 100 girls (which is also the ratio in the United States). In some parts of China and India, the imbalance is close to three boys for every two gifts. Across Asia, the gender imbalance translates into millions of "missing" girls.
Within a decade, that will mean millions of young men unable to find wives. And experts fear that could lead to an increase in the trafficking of women and an overall spike in crime.
"It's a humongous problem," says Valerie Hudson, a professor at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, and coauthor of a book on the topic. "Without a balanced sex ratio in a society, you're courting disaster."
Beyond Asia
Worldwide, demographers say, the number of missing girls has risen to more than 160 million. The problem is most severe in China, India, and the Caucasus region, which includes Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia (see chart). But sex ratios are also out of balance in other places, including parts of Europe and Asian-American communities in the United States.
"We've seen sex selection spread from South and East Asia to new countries, and that's alarming," says Mara Hvistendahl, author of Unnatural Selection: Choosing Boys Over Girls, and the Consequences of a World Full of Men.
"The preference for sons is very widespread," she adds.
In China, the problem is partially a result of the country's tough one-child policy. It was introduced in 1979 as an attempt to stem the growth of China's population, which is now 1.3 billion. But limiting couples to one child, which has helped to slow population growth, has had unintended consequences: In addition to the gender imbalance, it's contributed to a surge in the number of girls given up for adoption. (See Voices in the Jan. 2, 2012, issue of Upfront.)
Underlying the gender imbalance are centuries-old Asian attitudes about women. Until well into the 20th century many Asian women weren't allowed to work outside their homes, go to school, or decide who they would marry. While sons were cherished, girls were often neglected, poorly cared for when they got sick, and sometimes abandoned. (Some of these same attitudes are at work in the non-Asian countries with gender imbalances.)
The Need for a Son
Asian women have made great strides in the last half-century. In China, for example, men and women are now equal under the law, arranged marriages have been banned, and women are getting good jobs.
So why, especially in rural areas, do many Asians still favor boys? It's largely about economics--particularly economics rooted in cultural traditions about women.
"Mostly, Chinese worry that if they don't have a son, no one will take care of them when they are too old to work," says Wu Shaoming, director of a women's studies institute in Chengdu, China. The Chinese government does not provide welfare or free medical care to peasants. What's more, Wu says it's common for a woman in the countryside to move to her husband's village after marriage, providing no support to her own family.
That's how Yang, the chicken farmer, sees it: "If you only have a daughter, after she gets older and gets married, she'll become somebody else's," he explains. "And then when you get old, you'll have nobody to take care of you. So every family needs to have a little boy."
These same attitudes are common in India, which is also struggling with a huge gender imbalance.
In a traditional Indian family, a son is expected to live with his parents, earn an income, inherit property, care for his parents in their old age, and--if they're Hindu--light their funeral pyre. When a daughter marries, the bride's family pays the groom's family a dowry--a gift of money and presents--and she moves in with her husband's family, often leaving her parents with nothing or even in debt from her dowry.
India's gender imbalance is actually getting worse as the country's booming economy pulls millions out of poverty and into a growing middle class that can afford ultrasound tests.
Indian census data confirm that the problem has accelerated since 2001. The 2011 census found 7.1 million fewer girls than boys under the age of 6, compared with a gap of roughly 6 million girls a decade earlier.
For countries like India and China, this is a demographics problem with very real consequences.
"By the 2020s, 15 percent of men in China and 15 percent of men in northwest India won't have a female counterpart," says Hvistendahl. "There will be decades where a large chunk of men won't be able to marry."
And that could lead to an increase in instability in both places. Women in China and India are already being kidnapped and sold to men desperate for spouses. Crime rates could also spike, since single men are responsible for most crime.
South Korea's Response
The governments of China and India have both banned the use of ultrasound to determine gender. But the laws are bard to enforce.
One country that has had success tackling this problem is South Korea. The ratio is currently 107 boys born for every 100 girls, still above normal, but way down from a peak of more than 116 boys born for every 100 girls in 1990.
The most important factor in changing attitudes toward girls was a radical shift in South Korea's economy that opened the doors to women in the workforce as never before. This has dismantled long-held traditions, which so devalued daughters that mothers would often apologize for giving birth to a girl.
The government also played a small role. Starting in the 1970s, South Korean officials launched campaigns to change people's attitudes. A typical slogan was, "One daughter raised well is worth 10 sons !"
The Chinese government is also addressing the problem. In the southern village of Hoayang, there are signs forbidding the use of ultrasound machines to determine a baby's sex. Fines for violations can he as high as $315--a vast sum for a farmer in rural China. A slogan painted by the government on the side of a building reads, "Having a boy and having a girl are the same."
But it takes more than slogans to change long-held attitudes. The traditions that underlie the preference for sons go way back. A generation ago, Yang's parents had 10 daughters before he was finally born.
"There's a saying in Chinese: 'Raise a son to safeguard your old age,' " Yang says. "From thousands of years ago to the present, this hasn't changed at all."
With reporting by Jim Yardley and Ross Douthat of The New York Times; and by Jonathan Kaiman.

Michael Silence: Bloggers offer leftover advice
It's three days after Thanksgiving and you're still wondering what to do with all the leftover turkey. (No, don't send it to Congress. There are already enough there.)
To tackle leftovers one used to turn to grandmother's recipe box.
These days, click it and get it. (No, I'm not calling the Tennessee Highway Patrol a bunch of turkeys, although that scene in Nashville recently gives cause for pause.)
Tennessee's Beth over at Eat.Drink.Smile. has the solution. It's called Jerk, Turkey, Chili. (And no, that's not the Republicans controlling the state General Assembly. They're already full of it.)
"Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, about five minutes. Add chili powder, chipotle chili powder, thyme, cinnamon and allspice. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about one minute. Add turkey and stir to coat with spices. Add broth, tomatoes, beans and jalapenos, bring to a boil.
"In a small bowl, mix flour and water to create a paste. Pour the paste into the chili, stirring for 5 minutes to thicken. Reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer to blend flavors, about 30 minutes. Stir in garlic, cilantro and chocolate. Turn off heat, cover, and let stand for five to 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend, then serve."
The full recipe looks pretty yummy: http://tinyurl.com/7wqllnu.
SAY WHAT?: Did you know QR codes are running amok in downtown Knoxville? Stuck Inside of Knoxville has the explanation:
"This year's sculptures have been given a bit of an upgrade in another way: QR codes have been added to markers beside each one.
"If you download a simple app to your smartphone, you can read the code and get a cool description of the work of art along with other information about the artist's concept, pricing and contact information. It includes the option of voting for the 'Best in Show,' though I believe that voting ended a few months ago. If you want to try it out, you can click the picture below to enlarge it, download the app to your phone and scan the code in the picture."

THE WISDOM OF BLOGS: East Tennessee's Ben Garrett of View From the Cumberlands: "Tennessee's basketball team lost its second game in as many days today, but if the way the Vols have played in the Maui Invitational is any indication, Cuonzo Martin might soon make UT fans forget Bruce Pearl."
College basketball is my favorite, and I'm willing to overlook where Martin went to college if he continues as Garrett expounds upon in his blog post. http://bengarrett.net.
