I guess we'll wait and see. I think I should have been checking CM internally. I saw a bit of EWCM on Sunday and then not a sign of it on Monday so that's when I started checking internally and there was a lot of fertile CM, it just wasn't coming out. So it's possible I wasn't dry before Sunday, and the CM that was there was just not visible. Lesson learned.
FF also moved my O date to Wednesday after entering my temp today, so maybe that gives me another day. I think it was Tues based on some abdominal pain, but I could be wrong.

Teaming "Touch" With "Tilt": RealEyes3D Powers Motion-Based Navigation on Samsung Instinct
Realeyes3D, a pioneer in mobile imaging applications and services for camera phones, and a trusted player in mobile document scanning with the award-winning Qipit service, today announced that its camera-based motion browsing technology ("tilt navigation") has been incorporated into the Samsung Instinct, Sprint Nextel's new smart phone now selling out in stores in the U.S. Motion browsing lets users tilt their phone to pan a webpage before clicking on a desired link. When used in combination with touch sliding navigation, as featured on the Apple iPhone, motion browsing provides one of the most intuitive and efficient ways to navigate web pages on small phone displays.
"Motion browsing, when used in combination with touch and tactile feedback technologies, represents the wave of the future in mobile devices," said Benoit Bergeret, founder and CEO of Realeyes3D. "We believe we've created a new usability paradigm that effectively moves the mobile experience away from mimicking a PC's keyboard and mouse, to one that is a direct extension of a user's perceptual experience through motion and sense of touch. The Instinct is just the first of what we expect will be many mobile devices that will incorporate our technology in the coming months and years."
Motion browsing Effectively Brings Large View Down To Size
Anyone who's attempted to view full web pages on a typical mobile device is often frustrated by the limitations of the screen. Essentially it is like trying to fit a 15-19 inch screen into a 2-inch display. With motion browsing technology, the bridge from large to small becomes almost seamless. And unlike pure touch screen navigation, motion browsing avoids the missed clicks that are nearly impossible to avoid when touching the screen to navigate.
How It Works
Motion browsing uses the phone's built-in camera to estimate the motion of the phone ("handset egomotion") and translate it into commands for the browser to pan the web page that is being viewed. Because motion browsing uses thumbnail size images, it works regardless of the resolution of the camera. This design is a very compact solution that is easy to integrate into any phone, and very responsive to user movements. And because it does not need specific hardware such as an accelerometer or a gyroscope, motion browsing brings a powerful new interface paradigm to any camera phone, not restricting UI advances to the high-end, expensive phones.
Sold exclusively to handset manufacturers, motion browsing is available for all the major mobile web browsers, including but not limited to Teleca's Obigo, and ACCESS NetFront Browser, as well as for proprietary browsers.
Motion Cortex, the technology behind motion browsing, and the winner of last year's Mobile Monday Global Peer Awards ("Jury Favorite"), has been implemented in a variety of mobile applications such as image viewing, navigation, games, and can be integrated within any mobile user interface involving panning across a plane or a list.

The Capital will enjoy a clear sky with mist and shallow fog in the morning on Friday with the maximum temperature expected to be around 22 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature hovering around 6 degrees Celsius.
"The winter is here and the city will experience some real cold mornings and evenings. The maximum temperature on Thursday was 22 degrees Celsius and the minimum was 5.9 degrees Celsius,'' said the weatherman.
Delhiites too have readied themselves for the winter ahead with woollen and other warm clothing already out for the season. "Though the winter seems to have arrived late, there is now a definite chill in the air. We are now preparing ourselves for the dense fog that plagues this season,'' said sales executive Sadhya James, a resident of Karol Bagh.
Heart Care Foundation of India's president Dr. K. K. Aggarwal said: "Compared to summers, winters in Delhi are a very healthy season with the incidence of diseases like dengue, malaria and viral fever going down drastically.''

Could you tell me what's the difference between formal and imformal English?!
A letter to a friend may be informal. A website forum like this one may also imformal. But we usually see such greetings as 'Dear Weibing'. It seems 'Hi, Weibing' is quite natural here.
Contractions sounds informal. 'I'm', 'we're', 'there's' etc are all natural to me. I wonder if such contractions could be seen in an English textbook,an English dictionary or a president's speech - all these should be considered formal. I once used 'it'll'(instead if 'it will') in a letter to my friend Steve, but he pointed out that I should avoid using 'it'll'. Then when should I use 'I am', 'we are' instead of 'I'm' and 'we are'?
Maybe the difference between formal and informal English is not that clear. we may have 'very informal', 'quite formal' etc?!
I'd appreciate any reply from you all. Thanks again - maybe more formal: thank you again!
Best wishes,(Maybe here just 'yours', 'love' or nothing at all here.)

Otosclerosis is a frequent cause of nonsyndromic hearing loss which affects exclusively the human temporal bone. Various etiopathogenetic hypotheses have been proposed. The major hypotheses considered are genetic factors, immunologic factors and viral infection. Since the familial incidence of otosclerosis is known a recent genetic analysis has given evidence of three otosclerosis genes (OTSC1–3). Mutations in the collagen gene COL1A1 have been found in one large family with several cases of otosclerosis. Concerning an immunologic etiopathogenetic process, the presence of serum antibodies against collagen II and IX in patients with otosclerosis confirms the hypothesis of a collagen autoimmune mechanism. Finally as a possible cause of this chronic inflammatory disease morphologic and biochemical investigations have revealed a measles virus association. In conclusion, various etiopathogenetic factors may contribute to the genesis of otosclerosis.

Tennis: Teen Bouchard upsets Ivanovic to make Aussie semis
Published on Jan 21, 2014 12:44 PM
MELBOURNE (AFP) - Teenager Eugenie Bouchard reinforced her status as one of the game's most exciting prospects by upsetting Ana Ivanovic to reach her first Grand Slam semi-final at the Australian Open on Tuesday, Jan 21, 2014.
The 19-year-old Canadian, the WTA's newcomer of the year in 2013, showed composure to come from a set down and beat the 14th-ranked Serb 5-7, 7-5, 6-2 and set up a last-four clash with Li Na.
It was all the more remarkable in that she is making her tournament debut, with the victory forecast to push her into the world's top 20 when the new rankings are released next week.
"I feel like she was playing really well and I had to keep fighting and playing aggressive," she said. "I feel like I stepped it up in the second and third sets."

my1login Make Password Management Fun and Social to Encourage Secure Login Behaviour
Password manager service my1login has introduced fun game-like challenges to strengthen online account security.
UK (PRWEB) August 09, 2012
my1login is introducing gamification to its password manager service to encourage internet users to take control of their digital security. Launching today, users will be incentivised through game-like challenges to strengthen the security of their online accounts and to encourage others to do the same.
Following the recent spate of password hacking attacks, my1login has developed challenges to inject a bit of fun into password management as well as help educate users on the critical need for password security and to encourage safer behaviour online by offering rewards for adopting secure practices.
my1login incentivises the use of strong, unique passwords and rewards users for learning to create secure logins and avoiding weak practices. As new challenges are completed, my1login users earn rewards, including additional storage and the ability to upgrade to the "pro" version of my1login for free, a service normally paid for by subscription.
Mike Newman, CEO of my1login, explains: "The last few months have seen an escalation in the frequency and scale of hacking incidents and without strong password security we are all vulnerable. It´s critical that internet users be aware of the ramifications of using weak passwords and having the same passwords across multiple sites. In 2012, weak passwords are the digital equivalent of going on holiday and leaving your keys in the door.
"Only by using strong, unique passwords across all of our sites can we keep ourselves safe. Clearly, though, it´s difficult for most of us to memorise lots of different strong, unique passwords and writing them down or storing them on your computer is as much of a security risk as using easy-to-remember weak passwords. To maximise security online, a password manager such as my1login is required.
"Hacking is pushing password managers further into mainstream consciousness and we are seeing consumer demand for our service increasing on a daily basis. By the end of 2012, I expect ℠password manager´ solutions to be as familiar a concept as ℠virus scanning´ among online consumers."
my1login is a cloud-based password manager that doesn´t need a local client or browser plug-in, so works with virtually any browser on virtually any operating system. It enables users to access all of their password-protected accounts and sites from any device, with only one login. my1login completely eliminates the need to memorize multiple usernames and passwords at the same time helping users increase their online security by generating long complex passwords for each individual account.
my1login has developed a series of challenges within its password manager where users progress incrementally through eight stages, earning rewards for completing actions such as storing five logins, generating a strong password, having over 80% of their passwords determined to be strong and unique. my1login will also reward users with additional storage for encouraging their friends on social networks to improve their security.

Google announces Chromecast, a $35 media streaming dongle for your TV
This morning Google announced the release of a new media streaming dongle dubbed Chromecast. The small $35 HDMI dongle mirrors content that is being played on a nearby smartphone, computer or tablet. Coming in at just 2-inches long, the device plugs directly into your HDTVs spare HDMI port.
The device is able to run certain apps and if you are an early adopter, you will get a free three month Netflix subscription. Google says that Chromecast runs a simplified version of Google's Chrome OS and unfortunately, it will require a separate USB power source. The device features 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and comes with an HDMI extender, a USB cable and a USB power source.
Chrome apps that work with Chromecast will feature a "cast" button that will push the video feed to your Chromecast connected television. "Once Chromecast is plugged in, you just go to YouTube on your smartphone," Google reps said. "You'll see the cast button in your UI and you press it -- Chromecast will pull the info you requested from the cloud and play it on your TV." Google demoed the device at this morning's breakfast event and showed how Chromecast could display a YouTube video from your tablet onto your TV, and still allow you to use other apps on your tablet at the same time.

Start your engines... Sony have just greenlit a Gran Turismo movie
With a Need for Speed movie coming out in the near future, it looks like Sony may have felt a little jealous without their own feature film based on a driving franchise. Well, the Japanese company have just greenlit a feature film based on their super popular Gran Turismo series.
You wouldn't guess who saw potential in the series, with Dana Brunetti and Mike De Luca being the producers on board. They've previously worked on The Social Network and 50 Shades of Grey. They have obviously seen that Gran Turismo has sold over 70 million copies in the last 15 years, so we know it's a huge title.
What could it be about, exactly? It could go in the direction of the Aaron Paul vehicle (pun intended) Need for Speed, or it could turn into what the Fast & Furious franchise is now - fast cars, over-the-top action and hundreds of millions of dollars in box office revenue.
Netflix gained 630,000 more subscribers thanks to Arrested Development
The fourth season of Arrested Development was a huge success for Netflix, where they added 630,000 more subscribers in the US during Q2 2013. Investors were hoping for an additional 900,000 or so new customers, but you can't really complain at over half a million more, can you?
The figures come from Netflix's latest announcement, where we also found out they earned 49 cents per share during the quarter, higher than the Wall Street estimates of around 40 cents. They generated $1.07 billion of revenue, which fell within Wall Street's expectations. We can expect Netflix to go forth with more original programming, such as House of Cards and Orange is the New Black.
Oh, and we can't forget the talks of a fifth season of Arrested Development, either.
Zack Snyder confirms Superman/Batman movie for 2015
I'm still adjusting to the awesomeness that was Man of Steel, but while I was over in Melbourne for PAX Australia 2013, I read that the director of Man of Steel, Zack Snyder, confirmed a Superman/Batman movie for 2015.
At the end of the DC panel at Comic-Con 2013, Zack Snyder tool the stage, gesturing that moderator Chris Hardwick should move out of the way where he said "I'm gonna take the lectern from you, because some sh*t's going to happen up here. It's official that we are going to make another Superman movie. And you say, Zack, what is the movie about? But you don't want me to tell you that. You want to go and see the movie. But I can say that maybe there's a single element that will be in the film that I could... help you out with. I was thinking about how to do that. I pored through the DC Universe to look for a way to tell this thing. We're writing the thing now, but I came across a thing I found that'll help you understand it."
While this is exciting news, it doesn't confirm a sequel to Man of Steel, which is weird. Harry Lennix, who starred in Man of Steel, read a line from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns: "I want you to remember, Clark, in all the years to come, in all your most private moments, I want you to remember my hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you."

RumorTT: Google ready to reintroduce Google TV to the world
Google showed Google TV off before it was fully baked, so all of the goodies inside were oozing out instead of being fully-functional features that blew people away and had consumers throwing money at their product.
But, it looks like they're at it again, and according to The Wall Street Journal's inside sources, Google are pitching the idea of an online TV service to media providers and distributors. The difference between it not working before, and it working now, is that content providers are looking for nationwide distribution - something Google can provide, very easily.
The WSJ are reporting that Google has the system developed and is shopping it around to various partners. The world of TV has changed since Google first introduced Google TV, with the likes of Netflix and their smash hits like the fourth season of Arrested Development and House of Cards doing very, very good business online.
Intel's "black box" TV service will be called OnCue
We've been reporting on a rumored TV service from Intel for a couple months now, and today we finally found out what the service will be named. GigaOM has reported this morning that Intel's TV streaming service will be called OnCue, with the report being based on trademark filings around the globe and the hiring of an ad agency to prepare the official launch of the brand.
GigaOM also said that Intel plans to launch the TV service before the end of the year and that Intel plans to compete with traditional cable TV and satellite services by offering a live TV feed as well as a catch-up service that will allow users to watch missed shows a la carte. The service will also reportedly feature an on-demand service that will allow users to watch the latest new releases without having to rent them from services such as Netflix, Amazon, or RedBox. There's no word yet on what channels will be featured upon launch, but we're sure the offering will be substantial.
Netflix reportedly in talks for Arrested Development's fifth season
As a huge fan of Arrested Development, this is music to my ears (while I work at the Banana Stand). Bloomberg are reporting that Netflix and the production company behind Arrested Development, Imagine Entertainment, are negotiating for a fifth season of the cult TV show.
Reed Hastings, Netflix's CEO, said earlier in the year that it's not surprising that the company would bring the show back for a fifth season. Netflix have had great success by developing a new, unique and most of all, refreshing model for TV distribution. This is where they offer the entire season up front so that users can watch it at their own pace, or sit down and watch it in one setting.
Netflix's most popular show, something I finished watching last week and positively loved, House of Cards, was a huge hit for the company earning back their $100 million investment in just a few weeks time.
Splinter Cell boss wants the to see the Splinter Cell movie become as big as James Bond
James Bond is a huge franchise, we all know that, but just how big could the Splinter Cell franchise be when it makes a stealth move onto the silver screen? Well, according to Splinter Cell: Blacklist's Creative Director, Maxine Beland, she'd like it to be "as big as James Bond."
During an interview with GamesRadar, Beland said: "I really want Splinter Cell to have an amazing movie franchise and to be as big as James Bond. There are some great Bond movies, and they're obviously a big point of reference for us. At the same time, I'm so hungry for a good Splinter Cell movie. I know we're developing one now, and that people are responding to it."
We are to expect a Splinter Cell movie in the near future starring Tom Hardy of Inception and The Dark Knight Rises fame.

The latest Pacific Rim trailer is here and boy does it rock!
Guillermo del Toro's latest movie is nearly here folks, and before we all go and see Pacific Rim, you should check out the latest trailer which should have you buying pre-sale tickets.
Yeah, thought so. The last trailer before Pacific Rim hits theaters concentrates on the human side of things, showing off less of the actual fighting. But, it gets the idea that it's pretty much the end of the world, and this is their last chance. Get ready for some special effects porn like nothing else.

Unlike the myriad writing manuals that emphasize grammar, sentence structure, and other skills necessary for entry-level editing jobs, this engaging book adopts a broader view, beginning with the larger topics of audience, mission, and tone, and working its way down, layer by layer, to the smaller questions of grammar and punctuation. Based on Michael Evans's years of experience as an editor and supplemented by invaluable observations from the editors of more than sixty magazines--including The Atlantic, Better Homes and Gardens, Ebony, Esquire, and National Geographic--this book reveals the people-oriented nature of the job.

Newly united Syria opposition bids for diplomatic recognition
Published on Nov 12, 2012 6:40 PM
CAIRO (AFP) - The leader of Syria's newly united opposition headed to Arab League headquarters in Cairo to push for diplomatic recognition on Monday, buoyed by the hard-won unity deal among the disparate factions.
Mr Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib, 52, a moderate Muslim cleric who quit Syria three months ago, was to be accompanied on his visit by Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani, whose government hosted the marathon four-day talks that culminated in Sunday's agreement.
The deal to form a new broad-based opposition structure to take the 20-month uprising forward drew a warm welcome from Western governments that had expressed mounting frustration with the leadership divisions that have plagued the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
The new National Coalition wants to build on that support to win the sort of diplomatic recognition that the Libyan opposition won in its successful uprising against veteran dictator Moammar Gadhafi last year.

IRS: Budget cuts would hurt service, raise deficit
Monday - 10/17/2011, 6:01pm EDT
By ALAN FRAM
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Legislation that would trim hundreds of millions of dollars from the Internal Revenue Service budget would force significant cuts in the services it provides taxpayers and cost the government $4 billion annually in lost revenue, the agency warned Congress on Monday.
In a letter to lawmakers, IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman said the budget cuts "would lead to noticeable degradation of both service and enforcement and would have a serious detrimental impact on voluntary compliance for years to come."
The House Appropriations Committee has approved a bill that would provide $11.5 billion for the IRS in fiscal 2012, which began Oct. 1. That is $600 million less than it received last year and $1.8 billion less than President Barack Obama requested.
The Senate Appropriations Committee version of the bill would provide $11.7 billion. The cuts are part of an effort by lawmakers to curb spending at a time when annual federal budget deficits have reached $1.3 trillion.
With cuts of that magnitude, IRS answers to taxpayers' letters would be delayed by up to five months and about half of those telephoning the agency would not get through, Shulman wrote. As examples, he said that would mean problems for individuals and small businesses that have fallen behind paying their taxes and want to reach the IRS to work out payment plans before they are penalized.
Shulman said the budget cuts would hurt revenue collections because it would force the agency to shrink its staffing levels, and thus to reduce its collection activities. The $4 billion in yearly lost revenue would far outweigh the cuts in agency spending, he said.
"In other words, these budget cuts will result in a direct increase to the nation's deficit," Shulman wrote.
Shulman said the proposed cuts are already forcing his agency to reduce spending, because it would not have enough time to implement them if it waited until the congressional budget process is completed.
Lawmakers will try to help the IRS ease the cuts' impact, but with the government's debt problem, "making do with less will be the rule, not the exception," said Max Gleischman, spokesman for Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee panel that wrote the spending bill.
Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, R-Mo., who leads the House Appropriations subcommittee that authored that chamber's legislation, said the cuts were designed to avoid hurting collections and services but added, "Like families across the country, the IRS will have to do more with less."
Michelle Dimarob, a senior Republican adviser to the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, said IRS enforcement actions resulted in 17 percent more revenue in 2007 than in 2006, even though the IRS budget did not increase.
Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., a member of the Ways and Means panel, said the reduction "makes no sense." And Colleen M. Kelley, who heads the National Treasury Employees Union, called on Congress to act to prevent the cutbacks.

Capital punishment.Supreme Court to weigh whether lethal injection is cruel [26]"Ralph Baze has been convicted of killing two law enforcement officers in cold blood and sentenced to death. The U.S. Supreme Court now must ensure that Kentucky executes him in a constitutionally humane way." Supreme Court takes up lethal injection battle [27] "The legal battle over lethal injection, which comes before the U.S. Supreme Court today, has been conducted in unusual secrecy, with courts permitting states across the country to keep from lawyers and the public precisely how death row inmates are executed." Justices to rule whether lethal injection humane [28] " On Monday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case of two Kentucky prisoners who contend that the three-chemical mix used for most executions constitutes cruel and unusual punishment under the 8th Amendment."
Bankruptcies. As bankruptcies surge, Congress ponders change in law [29] "In 2005, Congress passed a new law aimed at making it harder for people to file for bankruptcy. With the tougher requirements, the number of bankruptcies declined in 2006 but surged in 2007. And experts predict the numbers will go higher this year."
Globalization. Mexico's shoemakers feel squeeze of globalization [30] "The heart of Mexico's shoe industry is closing ranks because a deal expired last month that permitted tariffs to protect it from cheaper Chinese shoes. Mexican officials said they now must open the market or face sanctions by the World Trade Organization."
The gospel of money [31] (Mark I. Pinsky, USA Today) "The love of money," the New Testament teaches in I Timothy 6:10, "is the root of all evil." But what about some televangelists' fondness for major bling - such as multiple, multimillion dollar estates, luxury cars, vacation homes, exotic trips and private jets? Does that make them, in the words of one author, "pimps in the pulpit?"
Confidence in America [32] (Madeleine K. Albright, Washington Post)" I believe the most precious gift the next president could bestow upon America is an end to the politics of fear."
Into Africa Without a Map [33] (David Ignatius, Washington Post) "Last week's tribal violence in Kenya reminds us of the severe social and political problems facing Africa. But is greater involvement by the U.S. military the answer to these African challenges?"

Attack Traffic:
Akamai measures attack traffic in real time across the Internet with our diverse network deployments. We collect data on the number of connections that are attempted, the source IP address, the destination IP address and the source and destination ports in real time. The packets captured are generally from automated scanning trojans and worms looking to infect new computers scanning randomly generated IP addresses. The attack traffic depicts the total number of attacks over the last twenty-four hours.
Values are measured in attacks per 24 hours (attacks/24hrs). Regions are displayed as countries or states.
Akamai measures network latency between most major cities via regularly automated tests. These tests consist of web connections and downloads as well as ICMP pings. Displayed in this interface are the current top ten worst performing cities. Absolute Latency depicts the current latency of a given city, while Relative Latency depicts the differential between the city's current latency and its historical average latency.
Values are measured in milliseconds (ms).

THEATER FEATURE: Takei brings musical passion project 'Allegiance' to the Globe
Takei said he is proud that his parents were "No Nos," but he thinks there were heroes on both sides.
"My heroes are those men who answered 'yes' to outrageous questions and went to fight and perished on those bloody battlefields," Takei said. "I think the men were equally heroic who said, 'I will go to war as an American but not an internee,' and they were tried for draft evasion.'"
Only one character in the musical is a real person, the still-controversial Mike Masaoka. Before and during the war, the Fresno-born Masaoka collaborated with the U.S. government as the national secretary of the Japanese American Citizens League. During the war, he advised the administration on how to get internees to cooperate, and how to segregate disloyal prisoners, and he helped form the 442nd regiment. After the war, Masaoka spent many years lobbying for the rights of Japanese-Americans.
To this day, the Japanese community remains divided on Masaoka, who died in 1991. Takei said he was taken aback by the fury of some elderly Japanese-Americans because Masaoka is a character in "Allegiance."
"It's going to be controversial," Takei said. "There's a fracture in the community about him. There is still fierce division between the resisters and the JACL. They say, 'The JACL did this to us,' and the resisters were vilified. Their whole lives were changed and they were ostracized. But you can't stifle what is historically true. Some people still see him as a hero, even in the face of the facts."
Bookwriter Acito is one of the few non-Asians involved in the Globe production, and during a recent rehearsal, he would frequently propose a line change, then turn quickly to Kuo to ask him whether the words were authentically Asian. Kuo and Leung are Chinese, Salonga is a citizen of the Philippines, director Stafford Arima ("Ace," "Altar Boyz") is half Japanese, half Chinese, and most of the cast is Asian. (Several non-Asian local actors are in the 21-member cast, including Escondido native Allie Trimm, Geno Carr, Kurt Norby, Brandon Joel Maier and Jill Townsend).
"Allegiance" would likely meet the approval of New York's Asian American Performers Action Coalition, which led a media campaign this past summer against "The Nightingale" workshop at La Jolla Playhouse. That musical, by "Spring Awakening" co-creators Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater, was targeted by the coalition because the story was inspired by a Chinese fairytale and set in China, but only a few Asian actors were in the cast.
"The Asian community has outstanding artists but the opportunities for them are very limited," Takei said. "I believe in casting with the most talented people, but if you don't deal with the attitudes that created the stereotypes, you'll never change them."
Salonga was a firsthand witness to one of the most controversial casting decisions in Broadway history, when Caucasian actor Jonathan Pryce was cast (in yellow face paint) as The Engineer, the enterprising Vietnamese businessman, in the 1991 Broadway premiere of "Miss Saigon."
Salonga said colorblind casting has improved over the past two decades. She was cast as both Eponine and Fantine, 19th-century Englishwomen in "Les Miserables," and she provided the voice for two animated Disney princesses, Jasmine and Mulan. But she said that race should be an element considered in the casting process to provide context for the audience and the other actors onstage.

Ontario, Canada
Smallmouth Bass
I just returned from a brief but rewarding trip to a lake to fish for Smallmouth Bass. I was invited by a friend from Louisiana to his rustic cabin on an island. Each day he would gather neighbors from surrounding islands and I would demonstrate the tackle I would use and what casts I would use. In the afternoon we would cruise the shoreline quietly using an electric motor while we searched for the luminous beds.
The male fish on the beds average about a pound. The female spawning bass averaged three to five pounds! The males stay to guard the nest after the females lay the eggs and depart. The young fish are taught to fear larger predator fish when the male often charges through the young eating the slowest to respond to the threat.
During June in this lake two hundred miles north of Toronto the bass spawn near the shoreline and alongside large boulders offshore. Their beds are easy to see since they fan out the silt exposing light colored gravel. The selection of a successful bed is where the cold northern lake waters warm first after ice-out.
When we found a bed we would cut the motor off at about 50' away and I would cast a popping bug directly over the bed. The fish are extremely protective of the nests. When anything appears to be a threat they rocket upward with a vicious strike. Or…they leave the nest and slowly rise, nose the fly then softly sip it in. This tends to be nerve racking and often I strike too soon!
There is one species that is a constant threat, the Rock Bass (Red Eye). They do not grow to more than 9" in these cold waters with the short growing season. These fish hang close by the nests and dart in for a snack on the fry while they are still swimming balled in the nesting area. They will hit the flies as well and are a bit of a disappointment when they win the race with a four pound Smallmouth to snatch the intrusive predator fly!
I used an 8 wt. Gold Cup rod along with others with a 270o Reel on each. I used a Rio Gold line ending with a 6' fluorocarbon leader. The rod performed well at short and long distance. The reel had a smooth start up when the drag system was working and accepted adjusted tension easily.
In three days of afternoon fishing I landed over 100 Smallmouths. I would think this method of fishing would appeal to many. There is a good selection of qualified outfitters in the area, Goggle, Ontario, Canada, Smallmouth Bass fishing.
Other species that are available in this fertile area are Northern Pike and Lake Trout. These are available using fly, or spinning gear in the area I fished.

In today's unpredictable and chaotic world, we look to science to provide certainty and answers--and often blame it when things go wrong. The Blind Spot reveals why our faith in scientific certainty is a dangerous illusion, and how only by embracing science's inherent ambiguities and paradoxes can we truly appreciate its beauty and harness its potential.
Crackling with insights into our most perplexing contemporary dilemmas, from climate change to the global financial meltdown, this book challenges our most sacredly held beliefs about science, technology, and progress. At the same time, it shows how the secret to better science can be found where we least expect it--in the uncertain, the ambiguous, and the inevitably unpredictable. William Byers explains why the subjective element in scientific inquiry is in fact what makes it so dynamic, and deftly balances the need for certainty and rigor in science with the equally important need for creativity, freedom, and downright wonder. Drawing on an array of fascinating examples--from Wall Street's overreliance on algorithms to provide certainty in uncertain markets, to undecidable problems in mathematics and computer science, to Georg Cantor's paradoxical but true assertion about infinity--Byers demonstrates how we can and must learn from the existence of blind spots in our scientific and mathematical understanding.
The Blind Spot offers an entirely new way of thinking about science, one that highlights its strengths and limitations, its unrealized promise, and, above all, its unavoidable ambiguity. It also points to a more sophisticated approach to the most intractable problems of our time.

"I am very pleased with this card- the design and quality are great! Makes a very elegant invite and was a snap to personalize. Would definitely order again."
"This is a beautifully elegant baptism invitation! It turned out so pretty and I included a picture of my daughter on the back which gave it a personal touch. The paper quality is exceptional. I loved how you can see the paper grains on it. The wording and the font were just perfect!"
"EXACTLY how it looked on my screen including picture quality. There were no surprises. Quality of card stock was superb. Not flimsy. Chose rectangular envelope to avoid additional postage...this is hard to explain but tinyprints glues inside of envelope to make the card fit perfectly (card doesnt get lost deep in envelope) and it feels as if its made for the envelope. My family always loves these and uses as keepsakes on fridge or in a special area in their house. Cards from 2008 stayed ingreat condition and didnt even fade. Looks like the day they were sent."
"Would have liked to be able to include text box on the back as well. Not many specific Confirmation Cards - have to look at Communion and Baptism and alter those"
"This invitation came out just as it looked online. We liked the simple, more traditional look of this invitation. The paper was also very sturdy. We chose to get the modified rectangular envelopes so we wouldn't have to pay extra postage for mailing square envelopes. I wasn't sure how that would look but, as mentioned on the website, the envelopes are designed to fit snugly. There is a stopping point in the envelope when you slide the card in so that it does not go all the way to the bottom of the envelope. You can see the edge of the card when you open the flap and easily pull it out of the envelope."

Large room with everything that you would expect. I was there on a Saturday night and it was very quiet.
I had a bottom floor room, and in the morning I could hear a lot of walking around upstairs.
Cheap and easy
Recently renovated
Bathrooms could have been cleaner
Rooms are overpowering with scented potpourri
I was cut off mid-sentence (once we had been in dialogue about where to get food) by a front desk staffer because another guest (from a wedding party) came after from a conference room with a problem. I thought it was rude and I felt like the wedding party guests were held as a higher priority.
Friendly staff
Need to update rooms
Quiet, clean room, friendly and helpful staff.
No easy chair in room. Room cramped because of king-size bed. No HDTV channels. No elevator to second floor: that was okay with me, but it might be a problem for some people.
Great location the room was old dirty and bed was a joke.
very dirty
Size of rooms. Front desk staff very nice.
Cooking smells. Housekeeping skipped our room one night.
Great beds, very firm. Easy parking. Free wifi.
Charge for breakfast. Hotel a little out of the way.
Easy to get to and from I-95. Rooms were very modern and clean. Pool was an clean and well maintained. An excellent amenity for the kids. Staff was friendly and professional. I recommend this hotel and would stay here again.
clean/ neat inside the room, quiet; no cigarette smell (a true non-smoking room)
clean room, quick check in/out. Decent location
It had a a tiny parking lot, heat didn't work and was loud. The toilet clogged from going #1, bed was not very comfortable.
Workers are helpful and polite
The location
Room was comfortable, but nothing special. Model was old but remodeled (note however it is a motel). They have DVD players available.
Ice machine and pool were broken. Staff didn't bother to make eye contact, when we checked in and was downright rude we informing me the pool heater was broken.
The room and the entire building were amazing.
Super friendly staff. Great prices and atmosphere. Will be going back again.
All of the staff were very acomidating, and nice. The hotel was clean, new, convenient, and perfect for a health conscious person. The gym and in room supplies were perfect if you were away from your home gym
Everything was great
Customer Service was awful. Often ignored by staff at the bar. Hotel staff did not answer guest service phone. Hotel was unorganized and rooms were unclean
Very nice property, but it is all business because of its location (there is NOTHING around it).
The restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner lacks imagination in look and menu. It is one of the most "blah" places I have visited.
Easy modern clean
Parking is tight
Went there for the pool for the kids. Was closed. They never offered to call when it opened
The shower didn't drain - I mentioned it and nothing was doneCurtains were torn and wouldn't closeThe tub wasn't cleanLobby, cavernous and not at all warm/friendlyFood, awfulHotel in the middle of no where
the shuttle service to train station didnn't start unitl 7 am, no complimentary breakfast, they charged my credit card 66.00 5 days after my stay. .
The pool minutes from downtown stamford
Almost everything shower sucked, paper thin walls I could hear the people in the room beside us using the bathroom from my bed it was gross
Beautiful building, gorgeous interior and very friendly staff.
Sound proofing in rooms needs serious work. This hotel does many outside events and I could hear said events from my room, as well as every person walking outside my room. Water pressure in shower was no more than a trickle and tv reception kept going in and out. All in all just not what expects from a Hyatt.
Very friendly staff greeted us.The layout of the bedroom was perfect, with a sofa, and the "tucked around the corner" kingsize bed, made it feel even more private. The desk space, with the pullout computer desk, was perfect and the chair was very comfortable for both my tall husband and me, a much shorter person. Wifi connection was good and the TV channels more than adequate.
We have been very happy with our stays at Marriott hotels and have always had excellent service while staying there.
Our only complaint was that the restaurant food was a little off, probably because we checked in late and ordering salads was not a good idea at the time of night,as the the greens were even more tired than we were. The restaurant staff was, on the other hand, so delightful and accommodating that we said nothing and went to our room happy to not have to drive any more for anything, that night..
Clean. Great location. Very comfortable.
Noisy in the courtyard during the night!!!

Ok lol thanks man
my friend also told me my ear is used to distortion due to the amp crazy settings and now im not going to be happy with it but il take anything i rather go back to stock than be nervous to blow my system while im listening to it
find their social media page and blow it up with bad things to say. is that not what social media is for. most of the time you hear all the bad on social media and the good through word of mouth.
Looks like you were quoted $1300 and agreed to it. So you only installed the CD player, sub amp and sub? To be honest, that's a $200 job. You don't need to rewire your whole system. Just make sure the sub is wired to 2 ohms and find some threads on here about gain/x-over settings. The amp says it will do 500W RMS into 2 ohms. Should be okay.
i bought everything online myself and brought it there ..they never even heard of skar or sundown they just dont know **** . yea im going to have to rewire the sub via skype lol and just be out of luck for my interior bose speakers

I got an idea.. go in and talk to the owner and politely ask for them to redo it. Not that hard to act like a grown up not some ghetto douche Handle it like an adult see how that works first. Not sure why people have to go all psycho.
$1300 for an install? you bought all the equipment and took it to them? what the **** bro
Squeak9798, Kumbos310w6, BigBangTheory, Jmanpc, MillzThaYungin, WLDock, -Leister-, ThomasG, J31Rob (and a few more I have forgotten)
I agree that for 1300$ everything should be 100% perfect. Take it back and politely tell them it sounds terrible and to fix it. If they cannot fix it suggest that you could take it to their competitors, pay them to fix their hack work and send them the bill. There is an implied warranty on their services there and you should be getting what you pay for.
I'm pretty sure there's a guy on this forum that owns a shop in CT that has posted some good work. Wish I could remember who it was.
