Achilles bursitis, also known as retrocalcaneal bursitis, is a common overuse injury in runners, hockey players, football player and many other athletes. Improper shoe gear and too much, too soon, too fast syndrome are usually the cause of this pain in the heel. It can also be seen in non-athletes who wear poor shoe gear or low cut shoes. Often it is seen in people with rigid, high arched feet.
Bursitis is a painful swelling that occurs in the back of the heel just deep to the Achilles tendon insertion on the heel bone. This inflammation makes it painful to squat, lunge or run uphill. Many shoes press on this area and make the pain worse. Even running on uneven or soft surfaces can increase the inflammation.
First line therapy for Achilles bursitis is rest, ice, heel lifts or heel cups and gentle stretching

ISO 9000: A Universal Standard of Quality
Article excerpt
ISO 9000: A Universal Standard Of Quality
Those managers familiar with the lexicon of quality know what ISO 9000 is and realize the impact it will have on their companies. For those who don't know, now is the time to find out, because ISO 9000, a series of five international standards that establish requirements for the quality systems of organizations, is starting to have international business repercussions.
The standards have been adopted by the European Community and by the individual nations of that community. They are being used to provide a universal framework for quality assurance. As trade barriers are torn down and Europe becomes economically unified in anticipation of EC 1992, ISO 9000 is becoming a tool to ensure cross-border quality.
On this side of the Atlantic, the standards also are being adopted by NATO, the U.S. Department of Defense, the American Society for Quality Control (ASQC) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). In addition, at least 35 countries around the world have adopted ISO 9000. The ISO 9000 series are the best selling standards in the history of the International Organization for Standardization under whose auspices they were developed. ISO 9000 even has outsold the international weights and measurement standards.
What does this mean from a competitive point of view? Right now, the EC requires that companies that produce regulated products, such as medical devices, must be registered to the ISO 9000 standards. The EC is encouraging other producers to register their products, and so far, about 20,000 European companies have been registered. By the end of 1992 when EC economic unification has been achieved, nearly all European companies will have met ISO 9000 requirements. As it now stands, registered companies can and do display the EC mark as a seal of approval; unregistered companies cannot.
ISO 9000 is becoming a de facto market requirement for companies that wish to do business with the EC. If two suppliers are trying to land the same contract in Europe, the supplier who has achieved registration of its quality system to ISO 9000 standards has a clear competitive edge.
At Du Pont, our plants and businesses regularly receive inquiries from European customers about ISO 9000 status, which has spurred Du Pont's registration efforts. At our European facilities, where the pressure is greatest, we have registered more than 35 plant sites and are working toward certification of others. And we are catching up in the United States. So far, 14 plants or businesses have been registered domestically, and many others are involved in the registration process.
Because the EC's support of the ISO 9000 standards has increased their international importance, it's reasonable to believe that the adoption of the standards by the Department of Defense and major U.S. companies like Du Pont will result in ISO 9000 becoming increasingly important here. And ISO 9000 is catching on elsewhere in the world. The Japanese, for example, not only have adopted the standards, but also have mounted a major national effort to get their companies registered. Some experts believe that within five years ISO 9000 registration will be necessary for businesses to stay competitive.
ISO 9000 need not be complicated, however. It's not an awards program like the Baldrige and it doesn't require the use of any state-of-the-art systems. As a matter of fact, you don't even have to use any prescribed method of process control such as Shewhart, CUSUM, or engineering process control. As long as you document what you do, do what you document, and produce the quality of product you have promised to your customers, you can be certified and registered.
In many ways, you call the shots because ISO 9000 doesn't set up "quality cops" looking over your shoulder, telling you what to do. You, however, must determine what shots you want to call. …

Action and Adventure video game by Microsoft for the Xbox< read all 1 reviews
Single Player
First things first. Blinx is a cat. But no ordinary cat. He is a member of the elite guard known as the Time Sweepers whose power derives from Time Crystals. However, through an attack by the Tom Tom gang, the Time Crystals have been dispersed throughout the land. Its your job as a member of the Time Sweepers to collect all those crystals before they fall into the wrong hands.
Blinx 2 takes an interesting approach to the platformer. For the first couple of missions you get to be Blinx or one of his cohorts. After that, you get to be one of the pigs Blinxs nemesis. I found this to be odd, because I found myself liking Blinx and his posse and then to turn around and defeat them felt off. Im not sure how kids will react. Anyhoo, the environments feel expansive and open. The level design was actually quite good. I found myself hopping onto platforms that seemed to take advantage of all areas of the world. All in all, it was mildly entertaining and I imagine it would be a lot of fun for kids.
The developer, Artoon, focuses quite a bit on customization. You can be any member of the TimeSweepers and can customize your look and outfits through a myriad of choices. This is clever fun, but does not add much to the gameplay. Changing the color of your shirt does not affect the game dynamics and therefore does not add much replay value.
The gameplay consists of puzzles and platform style action. Blinx can use his time vacuum to pick up objects and then launch them at his enemies. These objects are plentiful in the envoironment and consist of charis, benches, boxes, whatever trash is lying about. And if you run out of trash due to being a poor shot, never fear, more will spawn in. The enemies are much more creative this time around. In Blinx 1, they were basically blobs. Now they are actually monsters and the like. Blinxs specialty is his time vacuum which allows him to start and stop time, rewind and fast forward. Think of him as a VCR with whiskers. This feature was originally designed to show off the power of the Xbox hard drive and has been used successfully in other games such as Prince of Persia. The game actually forces you to use some of the time controls at various times. Sometimes youll need to slow time down in order to make it through a falling door. Most of the time, it is a tool to use when you need to. Too many monsters for you to handle? No problem, pause time and take them out at your leisure. Be careful, you have to collect tokens of each power and accumulate certain amounts before you can use the power. If you run out of tokens for that power, youre out of luck. When playing the part of a member of the Tom Tom gang, you have other tricks up your sleeve, such as the ability to throw banana peels to trip your enemy. Like Blinxs crew, you actually have to find the objects (such as banana peels) before you can use them. The focus of the Tom Tom gang members is stealth and avoidance since they dont have the power to control time. The object of the game for them is the same, find the Time Crystals before the Time Sweepers do.
The puzzles were kid friendly as they consisted mostly of jumping on things and moving to other areas within certain limits. Or flip certain switches in combination with other switches. Like other puzzle platformers, youll find the puzzles are mostly about trying to find your way to a specific place on the map, usually the end. How you get there is what makes up the puzzle. Nothing groundbreaking here, but fun and varied nonetheless.
Graphics and Sound
The graphics were pretty good as I would expect for a late generation Xbox title. While the premise is cartoony, the look and feel is more futuristic abstract. Everything is less angular and less symmetrical. Its almost what I would describe as dark without being depressing. The textures were vibrant and colorful and I noticed no significant drops in Framerate. The cut scenes were pre-rendered so they had a cinematic quality to them that is unavailable in scenes that are rendered in the game engine. The models are well done and nicely animated, conveying a good amount of emotion (and fur!). Since the game supports 480p, the quality on high definition sets should look pretty crisp (again, the fur!). The music consists of, well, cartoon music. Not sure how else to describe it. It was upbeat and catchy. Perhaps a little too electronic, but given the demographic, I think kids will enjoy the boppiness of it. It seems to mesh well with the hopping and jumping inherent in this type of game. Less obvious are the times in the game when it switches to a more jazzy or classical tone, but always comes back to the signature cartoon feel. Almost unnoticeable as game music should be. Plus for those parents who like to monitor their kids gaming habits, the variety and catchiness of the music wont get too annoying after a while. The voice-acting was adequate, exactly what Id expect from a kids game. Think Saturday morning cartoons. Lots of over-the-top acting and stereotypes. The effects were good, but dont stand out above anything else in the kids platformer genre. Lots of shwoops, and whistles, and gronks and the vacuum makes a beefy sucking sound when activated. When using the time controls, they cleverly take on adreamy air when pausing, a pseudo-reverse sound when rewinding. All-in-all very appropriate use of sound effects.
Multiplayer in Blinx 2 consists of system link and split screen. There is no Live support.
If you are a fan of platformers, this is a decent title. Being a G-rated game, it is also good for the kids and stimulating enough to keep them busy for hours. Recommended.

[0001] This application claims priority from Provisional Patent Application number 60/170,529, filed Dec. 14, 1999, and entitled "Bantu Messenger Method and System."
[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] This invention relates to Internet communications, and more particularly, to Internet messenger systems and methods for providing an ideal user experience for end-users, minimizing authentication tasks and maximizing third-party branding.
[0004] 2. Discussion of the Related Art
[0005] Internet messaging provides an Internet user the ability to communicate interactively over the Internet. Currently, many Internet messenger systems are available. Some of the most prevalent are ICQ, AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger. Many of these name brand messenger products are provided by the largest of the Internet Service Providers (ISP) or specific portal Web sites primarily engaged in Internet messaging. These products are generally available to Internet users who are not necessarily members of ISPs or Web sites providing messengers, but members of Internet services or provider sites ("affiliates") with access to the branded messengers. In these cases, an affiliate user does not inherently belong to the messaging system and, therefore, must create an additional id and password to login to the messaging system. A disjointed user experience is created by necessitating such an additional login requirement.
[0006] In addition, affiliate sites where branded messengers are used, or even offered by the affiliate are left, at times, with the problem of distributing a product or having a product used in conjunction with their services that is created by, and boldly advertising a competing product or service. The user interface of the messenger application does not necessarily match that of the affiliate's system interface highlighting the inconsistency of the products, and adding to the disjointed presentation of a non-affiliate application. In addition, many Internet messengers include general advertising space on their user interface for which the affiliate would have no control, nor reap any advertising revenue benefit.
[0007] Further, some Internet messengers do not interact with, or, at best, interact poorly with all but the same brand Internet messenger. Each of the messengers also requires an individual user to install specific software onto his/her local computer (client computer) occupying valuable memory space when the messenger software is not in use.
[0008] The present invention is directed to providing an innovative system and method for seamlessly invoking, logging into, and customizing the appearance and features of an internet messenger for an affiliate Web site.
[0009] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide seamless integration of an Internet messenger with an affiliate site.
[0010] It is a further object of the present invention to provide, as part of the seamless integration, a method in which the user login process is not detectable by the user.
[0011] It is a further object of the present invention to provide a messenger that an affiliate site can customize with a unique interface, appearance and functionality in order to denote the affiliate as a co-brand with the source of the messenger, as well as maintain a consistent presentation with the affiliate's user interface.
[0012] A further object of the invention is to provide a messenger that an affiliate site can customize with ad banners.
[0013] It is also an object of the present invention to provide an Internet messenger system and method that does not install software on a client computer.
[0014] It is also an object of the present invention to interact with a wide variety of messengers.
[0015] Thus, in accordance with a first aspect of the invention, a messenger system is provided for seamlessly integrating a messenger product with affiliate sites. The system includes a messenger service provider service containing at least one Web server. At least one affiliate service capable of connecting with its users, and containing at least one Web server. A user with a client computer connected to the affiliate service. A customizable messenger product accessible by valid affiliate users. The system further includes a database, located on the messenger service provider site, containing user registration data, including usernames and passwords (or other similar authentication information), for each user of the Internet messenger. The database can also include optional information, such as demographic data. The affiliate site maintains a database containing affiliate user information. The affiliate site Web server is capable of generating dynamic Web pages, and is used to launch the messenger product transparently from the affiliate site. The affiliate Web server can also generate XML formatted packets for passing user registration data to the messenger service provider Web server (for authentication purposes).
[0016] The system further includes a unique co-brand identifier and a co-brand identifier string. The messenger service provider provides the affiliate a unique co-brand identifier for identification purposes when the messenger is launched. The affiliate site provides the messenger service provider with a co-brand_identity_string used to identify the affiliate's users as belonging to that particular affiliate throughout the messenger interface. The co-brand_identity_string is appended to the username in the form of: username@co-brand_identity_string. Typically, the co-brand identity string maps to the valid Internet domain name of the affiliate.
[0017] In accordance with a further aspect of the invention, a method is provided for the authentication and registration of affiliate users using an Internet messenger that takes place between the messenger service provider Web server and the affiliate Web server in a manner that is not visible to the user. First, an affiliate user attempts to launch the messenger product. This request prompts the affiliate site to submit a hidden form containing authentication information for that particular user, as well as some customization information unique to that affiliate site to the messenger service provider Web server which provides a messenger launch request. Upon receiving the information the messenger service provider queries the affiliate Web server for authentication information regarding that user, when such authentication information has not previously been validated. In this case, the affiliate's database is searched for the user's id and password through a request issued by the messenger service provider. An XML-formated data packet is returned to the messenger service provider Web server with the verification information. If the user is authenticated by the messenger service provider Web server the messenger is loaded onto the user's client computer.
[0018] If the user is not authenticated, steps are taken to determine whether or not the user should be registered on the messenger service provider database. First, the messenger service provider database is checked to determine if the user is listed. The affiliate site is then queried for additional information about this user id. If the user's name does not exist in the affiliate database, the user is not permitted access to the messenger service. Otherwise, the user's information is included or updated on the messenger service provider's database with the new information provided by the affiliate. The user and password information is once again checked against the messenger service provider's data base. If the information is still considered invalid the user is not permitted to logon to the messenger service. If the affiliate database verifies the user's credentials, then the user is authenticated by the messenger service provider Web server the messenger is loaded onto the user's client computer.
[0019] In a further aspect of the present invention, a method is provided for customizing the user interface. Customization features are used at the affiliate site's option. A default language (for the interface) can be requested (e.g., English, Spanish, French). The affiliate site can select a custom image to be displayed on their specific implementation of the messenger. The affiliate can also supply the messenger service provider with primary and secondary background color values for display on various messenger pages. The messenger service provider or the affiliate can design a custom "skin" to be used on the Messenger interface, wherein additional affiliate buttons and features can be provided to affiliate users. The affiliate can also have advertisements displayed within an ad frame on the Messenger interface, or remove the ad frame entirely. The affiliate may also choose a different set of advertisements to display, depending on the language the user is using the interface in.
[0020]FIG. 1 is a flow diagram of the messenger affiliate user transparent login method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
[0021]FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of basic system elements in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
[0022] The present invention, referred to in this embodiment as Bantu Messenger, allows users to communicate with other users on bantu.com, other affiliates, as well as ICQ, Yahoo! Messenger, and MSN Messenger. Bantu.com, an example site, is merely illustrative of one implementation of the present invention, and the present invention is not intended to be limited to this particular site or example. Bantu Messenger is a thin-client, Java-based messenger with nothing to install on the client machine. This allows Bantu Messenger to be offered as a co-branded solution which integrates seamlessly with affiliate sites.
[0023] Customization features are also provided in the Bantu Messenger. These features can include, but are not limited to, language selection, a custom image, primary and secondary color selection, the ability to design a custom "skin," and the ability to include ad banners.
[0024] According to a preferred embodiment, the affiliate site is able to choose which default language Bantu Messenger is displayed in by setting a language parameter when invoking the Bantu Messenger.
[0025] The affiliate site is also able to choose custom images to be displayed on their implementation of Bantu Messenger. The affiliate creates a 110 pixel (width) by 29 pixel (height) image as their logo images. The URL for this image is supplied to Bantu and displayed on the Bantu Messenger when launched by the affiliate's user.
[0026] Primary and secondary background colors (hex values) are supplied by the affiliate to Bantu for display on various Bantu Messenger pages.
[0027] A custom "skin" can also be designed by Bantu or the affiliate. This skin provides an interface for affiliate users with a custom look, including specific buttons available to the affiliate users. All these customizations can additionally be done on a language-by-language basis, recognizing that layouts might be slightly different depending on the language (usually due to the width of text in different languages, as well as character set limitations).
[0028] Ad space is also customizable. The affiliate has the ability to serve its own banner advertisements in an ad frame space on the Bantu Messenger. The affiliate simply supplies to Bantu the URL containing the ad serving code. The affiliate may provide a different set of advertisements by language, or opt to remove the ad frame entirely.
[0029] The system further includes a unique co-brand identifier and a co-brand identifier string. Bantu provides the affiliate a unique co-brand identifier for identification purposes when the messenger is launched. The affiliate site provides Bantu.com with a co-brand_identity_string used to identify the affiliate's users as belonging to that particular affiliate throughout the messenger interface. The co-brand identity string is appended to the username in the form of: username@co-brand_identity_string. Typically the co-brand identity string maps to the affiliate's Internet domain name.
[0030] Referring to FIG. 1, a messenger system according to the present invention includes a messenger service provider located on the Internet 40 by maintaining a Web server 50. Included on the Web server 50 are a database 54 containing messenger user registration information and the messenger product 56.
[0031] The messenger system also includes at least one affiliate with an affiliate Web server 60 located on the Internet 40 capable of connecting to affiliate user computers 68. A database of affiliate member information 64, and various code templates 66 for communicating with the messenger service provider server 50 are also maintained on the affiliate Web server 60.
[0032] Referring to FIG. 2, the method of the present invention includes the steps as follows. A user of an affiliate Web site logs into that site's Web services, step 10, with the user's client computer, creating a connection between the Internet and the client computer from which the user can invoke the Bantu Messenger. The affiliate user launches the Bantu Messenger by clicking on a link. Upon launching the Bantu Messenger, a login request is made to the Bantu Web server via a document.form.submit function which is located on the affiliate site. This function submits a hidden form to Bantu.com requesting Bantu messenger services and includes customization information, such as default language. Bantu in turn queries a senduser script located on the affiliate Web server. The exact URL for this script is supplied to the messenger service provider by the affiliate site. In addition, the senduser script can also be protected by IP block and by a username and password. The affiliate database is searched for the user's id and password. An XML formatted data packet is returned to the Bantu Web server with verification information 12. The XML data packet of this preferred embodiment contains the following fields:
[0033] Unused optional fields are included in order to preserve the data structure. The Bantu Web server uses the data packet in attempting to validate the affiliate user id and password against the Bantu database, step 14. If the Bantu Web server validates the user id and password, the affiliate user is permitted access to the Bantu Messenger and it is loaded for use on the affiliate user's client computer, step 18.
[0034] If, however, the user id or password is not authenticated, step 20, steps are taken to determine whether or not the user should be registered, that is, included on the Bantu database. First, the Bantu database is checked to determine if the user exists, step 22. If the user is listed in the database, Bantu requests updated information from the affiliate when necessary to complete the authentication. If the username and password match what is in Bantu's database (so the authentication is valid), then the request for updated information will only be made if the affiliate has passed a parameter in the hidden form to indicate that an information update request is desired, step 24. If the user is not listed in the Bantu database, new user information is requested from the affiliate for that user, step 26. In both instances, it is determined whether or not the username exists in the affiliate database, if necessary or desired, step 28. Upon querying the affiliate database, if the user's name does not exist in the affiliate database, a "user not valid" error is generated and the user is not permitted to logon to the Bantu Messenger service, step 30. If the user's name does exist in the affiliate database, the user is registered, that is, Bantu's database is updated with the new information provided by the affiliate, step 32. The user and password information are once again checked against the Bantu database, step 34. If the information still does not match, an "invalid user" error is generated and the user is not permitted to logon to the Bantu Messenger service, step 36. If the user is authenticated by the Bantu Web server the Bantu Messenger is loaded for use onto the affiliate user's client computer, step 18.
[0035] The foregoing is merely illustrative of the principles of this invention and various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention

Product description
In a German town, long ago, lives a toothpuller's boy called Klaus. It isn't Klaus' fault that he sees his master steal a diamond from the mouth of a dead man in Frau Drecht's lodging house, or that Frau Drecht and her murderous son want it for themselves. He has nothing to do with the Jesuit priest and his Aztec companion who turn up out of the blue looking for it, or the Professor of Anatomy who takes such a strange interest in it. No, Klaus doesn't want any trouble. But when he finds himself with the diamond in his pocket, things really can't get much worse - that is, until the feathered man appears. Then they become a matter of life ...and death.

Review quote
"A thrilling, dark and exciting tale of gothic proportions." The Bookseller "A gripping and frightening story with an ending that leaves the reader wanting more." The Bookseller "We are taken on a journey through dark alleyways and encounter menacing characters, all in search of a diamond found in a corpse's mouth ... the feathered man adds to the intrigue and momentum of the book. Not for the faint-hearted but this is a book for those with a sense of the macabre." The Bookseller "Its intriguing plot will have readers gripped and racing through its pages. An excellent read." Notes of Life "I loved the originality of it all, the classical feel, and the uncompromising commitment to the main theme - where does life go when it leaves the body? The Feathered Man will be perfect for keen readers with a thirst for horror. And it comes recommended by Bookbag." The Bookbag


text: THE HOLY AVENGER by KRADDY published on 2011/10/11 01:15:07 +0000 "Kraddy's newest offering is nothing short of ground breaking. Simply put, it's what would be if rock and bass music had a bastard child. The fusion of live instruments goes further than any bass music artist has to date. "Anthems of a Hero" was produced by Ross Robinson (known for producing Korn and Limp Biscuit) and Jon Theodore of Mars Volta on drums and Cody Votolato on guitar. Kraddy then took those recordings and fused them with his own demos and the result is an album that dips and dives between modern rock and Kraddy's bigger than life synth and bass sounds." -Jesse Breede

Wangfujing Food Market is the place to find various traditional Beijing foods. Most of the items are Beijing style preserved fruit and sweets, ideal for deserts. Of note: a whole duck sold under a regular brand costs RMB 48. If you go for a high quality brand like Quanjude, a whole duck will cost RMB 78 and a half one RMB 38.
The store also carries cigarettes and alcohols. If you like exotic food, you will find tanghulu near the entrance gate. These tanghulu cost about RMB 2 each.
What I appreciated:
Numerous food products

For all the public discussion in 2012 of the need for a significant reformation and restructuring of the Internal Revenue Code, the income tax provisions of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (the 2012 Act) are at their core simply an adjustment to tax rates. That is not to say, however, that the 2012 Act, which was signed into law by President Obama on January 2, 2013, creates simplicity—in fact, by creating a variety of different thresholds at which top marginal rates on various types of income apply, the new law has created additional complexity for taxpayers.
New Rates for Individuals. Here's a summary of the effect of the 2012 Act on individual income tax rates:
- Ordinary Income. For most taxpayers, Bush-era tax rates on ordinary income were reinstated and made permanent. However, individuals with taxable income of more than $400,000 and married couples filing jointly (hereinafter referred to simply as married couples) with taxable income of more than $450,000 are now subject to a top marginal rate of 39.6%.
- Long-Term Capital Gains and Qualified Dividends. The 2012 Act reinstates the 0% rate for long-term capital gains and qualified dividends of lower-income taxpayers, and makes permanent the 15% rate on those types of income for most other taxpayers.Individuals and married couples subject to the 39.6% marginal rate on ordinary income will be subject to a 20% rate on all or part of their long-term capital gain and qualified dividend income.

BiographyMachaut, Guillaume de (b. Reims, c. 1300; d. there, 13 April 1377).
French composer and poet. Probably educated in Reims, he entered the service of John of Luxembourg, King of Bohemia, as a royal secretary, c.1323. The king helped him to procure a canonry in Reims, which was confirmed in 1335; Machaut settled there c.1340, although he continued in royal service until the king's death (1346). He then served various members of the French high nobility, including John, Duke of Berry, his later years being dedicated to the MS compilation of his works.
With his prolific output of motets and songs, Machaut was the single most important figure of the French Ars Nova. He followed and developed the guidelines of Philippe de Vitry's treatise Ars nova and, in particular, observed Vitry's unprecedented advocation of duple time in many of his works, even in his setting of the Ordinary of the Mass. Only in some of his lais and virelais and the Hoquetus David did he consistently adhere to 13th-century rhythmic patterns and genres. His own rhythmic style is novel in its use of variety and motivic interest, particularly through syncopation, and in his development of isorhythmic techniques (which he often extended to all voices): all but three of his 23 motets, and four of the movements of the Messe de Nostre Dame, are isorhythmic. The mass is one of the earliest polyphonic settings of the Mass Ordinary; the four isorhythmic movements are based on Gregorian tenors, while the Gloria and Credo are freely constructed.
In secular music, Machaut set a wide range of poetic forms, all of which are illustrated in his long narrative poem, the Remede de Fortune (probably an early work). While the relationship between text and music is most closely observed in the monophonic lais and virelais, a highly flexible approach is adopted in the three-voice motets so that the subtle treatment of the text avoids the symmetricality of complete isorhythm. His inventive approach to isorhythm resulted in freely-constructed introductions to five of his Latin motets. More progressive features of Machaut's style - an increased awareness of tonality, the use of unifying rhythmic motifs - are found in his polyphonic settings of rondeaux and ballades, while melodic considerations are to the fore in his virelais. Typical of Machaut's compositional flair and imagination is the rondeau Ma fin est mon commencement in which the text provides the key to an ingenious canon.

University of Memphis' Oct. 9 football game at Louisville to kick off at 1 p.m.
The University of Memphis will play Louisville at 1 p.m. (CDT) Oct. 9 at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium in the Tigers' first game at Louisville since the Cardinals left Conference USA for the Big East Conference.
Louisville officials made the announcement Monday and said ESPN3, ESPN's broadband network for live sports programming, will deliver the game online.
ESPN3 is available for free to fans accessing the site from a college campus network in the United States or from a military base in the United States or from select Internet providers. To find out if your Internet provider carries ESPN3, go to: http://espn.go.com/espn3/channelFinder.
Memphis last played at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium in November 2003 and came away with a 37-7 win, perhaps the biggest victory in former coach Tommy West's nine seasons at the U of M. Louisville left C-USA after the 2004 season and the two programs, bitter basketball rivals, have played only once since, a 35-28 Louisville win two years ago at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.
The Louisville-Memphis series will take two years off after the Oct. 9 game and resume in 2013. The Tigers and Cardinals will play four straight seasons beginning in 2013 with a game in Louisville.

1. Tapas Pal supported by the West Bengal government, yet again: The state government of West Bengal is standing firm beside the Trinamool Congress MP Tapas Pal. After the Kolkata High Court asked for a CBI enquiry into the alleged remarks of Tapas Pal's remark on killing and raping women who belonged to the opposition party, the government is now appealing to the division bench. The government and the party's stance is clear in the case. Pal was let of by the party without any punishment or enquiry into the video tape that showed him giving a public speech asking his party members to rape women who would belong to the opposition camp, after he wrote an apology letter.
2. Encephalitis kills two more in North Bengal, death count at 128: Encephalitis which has been plaguing North Bengal for several months now, claimed two more lives including a 13 year old girl. Out of the 128 people, 88 cases belong to the North Bengal Medical College. Mamata Banerjee had suspended three health officials claiming they had not informed the state in proper time for it to take action.
3. Doctor accused of raping nurse for eight years in Midnapore: In Midnapore, a doctor who also owns a nursing home, has been accused of raping a nurse for eight years now. The name of the accused is Debal Ranja Dutta. The nurse began working in the nursing home in 2006. A year later, her brother fell sick, when the owner allegedly called her to a hotel room promising to provide money and raped her. This was filmed by him, which the channel reports, was used later to blackmail her.
4. Is Trinamool Congress responsible for death of police official? : The party in power in Bengal could be held responsible for the death of a police official in Birbhum. The subinspector Amit Chakraborty had been injured while trying to stop a political fight, after which he had passed into coma. A bomb had been hurled at him. He passed away on Monday. The primary accused Sheikh Alim is reportedly a TMC worker, and according to police records, he has disappeared.
5. How Kolkata is celebrating Eid: Red Road in Kolkata is decked up preparing for Namaz and celebrations through the day of Eid. Prayer has been organised there and the chief minister Mamata Banerjee would be present there.

Note that the Nook HD+ is indicated as a "Special Buy" on their website. As such if you were to buy it now and try to price adjust it during the sale it won't work.
http://www.walmart.com/cp/Always-...ces/538350 : "Price adjustments are not available for items designated as Clearance, Value of the Day or Special Buy"
But hey, if tweaking your device is what you want to do, then by all means, be my guest.
Didnt know adding a few files to an SD card was "recompiling kernels and shifting thru source code"..........
The interface looks "ok" but all that cleanliness is negated when you find out its B&N's bloatware UI thats slowing the device down just to become a gimped version of Ice Cream Sandwich.......i dont see how that can be a plus in anyone's book.....
The Art of Slickdeals: Chapter 7. Window Shopping
But again, to each their own. If hacking the device is what you want to, by all means do so. Have fun with it. If that's why you buy the device, great, go for it! 10-15 years ago, I would have joined you. But these days? This works, I like it, sold. And comparatively, I still hold to my opinions. Sorry to hear you have an issue with this.
Its actually the reason i didnt buy the device. Well I bought it but I didnt keep it. If you like it fine, but the way you stated it, I thought you worked for Barnes & Noble for a sec. But then that wouldnt make sense since their own store sold this same device for $50 cheaper last week. Which kinda makes this a bad deal......
I have the hd and I like it a lot. excellent battery life. I rooted and put Google play. without that I would dislike it a lot but now even unrooted devices are getting play.
