Isn't there an application for pretty much anything and everything I need on my PC? And aren't those apps typically free? Yes, pretty much. Here are eight of my recent Windows tools discoveries.
5. TeamViewer
I stumbled upon TeamViewer at a download site. It's a screen-sharing and file-transfer application that provides remote access to a second computer so that you can help tech-challenged relatives. You can find other tools like this on the market, but TeamViewer is easy to install and work with; plus, it's free.
6. ClipTraining
This is my company's tool, but it's worthwhile. ClipTraining has 100 videos (five hours' worth) on Windows 7 task-based training, plus instructions for Office and other applications.
7. AllMyApps
Here's a good idea: Take all the applications you normally need to download and install one by one, but instead, choose them all from one source, then download and install them in one group. AllMyApps has more than 1,600 apps available.
8. Dropbox
The cloud-based Dropbox tool lets you access its included free 2GB of space (you can rent more if needed) to establish offsite backups and transfer data easily from one system to another. Dropbox is also a great collaboration tool; unlike with an FTP site, you can simply drop a file in the Dropbox folder on your system and have it sync with others to which you've granted access. It works in Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android, and other platforms.

My m/c bleeding started on the 8th. I am just now all but finished with any bleeding or spotting. My hcg level 4 days ago was 1600-something. The last 2 days my libido has been very high and I have been bloated. My stomach had gone down maybe 3 days ago and is now, not as big as it was but still bloated looking. Like premenstrual bloating or O bloating. I am not having any kind of CM but it feels like I maybe could have tomorrow. I am having that sensation that some is developing. Could I be O'ing only 1.5 weeks after my m/c started? I was around 7 weeks when I started m/c-ing but the baby was only 5.5 - 6 weeks developed.
I did after both my m/c's (one was at 11 weeks and the other at 8 weeks.) It was like my body treated the m/c as a period. If you count the first day as "cd 1" then I ovulated around cd 14-15 like I normally would have, then I had a regular period starting on cd 29.
Trish~mama to Kaelie 5/03, Amelia 12/13, and someone new coming 11/15, surro mama to Aidan 2/08 & Ellyss 6/09,
Thanks for answering. I could've sworn I ovulated but unfortunately I started bleeding 4 days after and have been spotting ever since. I am not sure if I should still count the day I think I O'd as the middle of my cycle or start charting a new cycle since I am still spotting.
Loving wife to DH mama to DS1 3/13/09 , DS2 4/20/11 and DS3 1/12/13 Professional and attempting to while
Thanks. I am having some strange twinges and cramps but no more bleeding today (I realized taking baby aspirin while m/c was stupid so I stopped) and I am wondering if I could be implanting but then I think, "No, that's crazy!" but I guess I won't know for another week or so if I am.

Clinging to a two-point lead at halftime Friday night, the Dimond Lynx repaired to their locker room, where their coach challenged them to be better.
"We talked in the locker room about, 'Where do you want to be?' " said Dimond coach Chris Borst. " 'Do you want to be fighting for first place?' We're young, but I'm trying not to let them use that as an excuse.''
The Lynx didn't require any excuses by the time the Cook Inlet Conference football game was finished at Dimond Alumni Field, where the evening ended with a gorgeous rainbow to the east and a brilliant yellow skyline from the setting sun to the west.
Dimond opened the second-half with a methodical scoring drive and owned the ball for nearly two-thirds of the final two quarters on the march to a 25-10 victory over Eagle River.
Dimond (2-1, 2-0 CIC) opened the second half by driving 74 yards in 11 plays that consumed 5 minutes, 22 seconds and culminated with Armani Tufaga's 1-yard touchdown run, which delivered an 18-10 lead.
Two possessions later, the Lynx drove 69 yards in eight plays, eating another 3:02 off the clock and getting a 17-yard touchdown run from Elijah Pili. Fono Savaiinaea's extra-point kick boosted Dimond's advantage to 25-10.
The Lynx also cut down on their mistakes in the second half, when they committed just three penalties for 30 yards after taking nine penalties for 66 yards of backsliding in the first half.
Granted, the Lynx haven't faced the best of the CIC yet -- their two victories have come over winless Chugiak (0-2, 0-1 CIC) and winless Eagle River (0-3, 0-3 CIC). Still, 2-0 in conference is 2-0 in conference.
And the type of drive the Lynx generated to start the second half is good for their collective psyche.
"It's uplifting,'' Tufaga said. "To get that momentum is what we need, and the key is scoring on those drives.''
The Lynx might well have scored three times on their four second-half possessions -- and their last possession was merely to run out the clock -- but they attempted a field goal, and missed it, on a third-and-goal from the Eagle River 10 during their second possession. The down marker on the sideline incorrectly indicated it was fourth down.
In any event, Dimond prospered with a backfield by committee -- 11 different Lynx carried the ball, and five of them each accounted for 38 yards or more.
Pili carried nine times for 76 yards, Tufaga parlayed 10 carries in 47 yards, Jin Chong bulldozed his way to 45 yards on eight carries, Chandler Barrett racked 41 yards on four carries and quarterback Samuel Liaga furnished 38 yards on seven carries. Liaga cranked off an electric 33-yard Houdini job in the fourth quarter, escaping the grasp of a tackler 10 yards deep in the backfield and rocketing up the right sideline.
Dimond generated 203 of its 255 yards total offense in the second half.
"We came out less intense on defense in the second half,'' said Eagle River linebacker Ed Hall. "They were running the same plays. (We need to be) focusing and having everybody doing their jobs.''
Hall helped Eagle River get off to a strong start.
After Eagle River's Jachi Madubuko and David Tobin snuffed Dimond's opening drive by stopping Pili short of a first down on fourth-and-goal from the Wolves' 6, Hall bolted 96 yards for a touchdown on Eagle River's next play from scrimmage.
But Dimond pushed ahead in the second quarter. Barrett dashed for a 35-yard touchdown on his first touch of the night to cut Eagle River's lead to 7-6. After the kickoff, Eagle River quarterback Alani Collins threw behind Paul Duclos in the right flat, which allowed Tufaga to swoop in and return his interception 50 yards for a touchdown.
"I thought I was gonna fall,'' said Tufaga, who caught a toe in the artificial turf just as he made the pick. "I kept stumbling.''
Eagle River's Jordan Patin cut Dimond's lead to 12-10 just before halftime with a 27-yard field goal.
On this night, though, the Lynx didn't stumble when it mattered.

Members of London City Council were on the receiving end of a strong sales pitch from an income tax billing and collection agency on Monday, April 21.
In a presentation before council's finance committee, Chuck Hawk of Cleveland-based Ohio Regional Income Tax Agency (R.I.T.A.) said the city could save $142,000 annually by contracting with R.I.T.A. for services.
London's tax department currently employs a director, assistant director and full-time specialist.
The future of those jobs was vague under a R.I.T.A. contract.
However, London would retain a local "tax administrator" position, Hawk said.
Council members listened, asked questions and agreed to consider the proposal.
According to agency documents, R.I.T.A. handles income tax billing and collection for 237 Ohio municipalities and Joint Economic Development Districts. Both Mt. Sterling and South Solon in Madison County contract with R.I.T.A. for services.
Hawk said the nonprofit, quasi-public organization handles every aspect of income tax services from identifying eligible taxpayers to collecting delinquencies. Electronic filing is available.
R.I.T.A.'s fee is based on a formula and runs about 3 percent of a client's total income tax collections. In London, that cost would be $112,000 to $125,000, Hawk estimated.
R.I.T.A. clients pay extra for subpoenas and attorney services in court. Subpoenas delivered to delinquent taxpayers via U.S. Mail cost $8 each; court time runs $35 per hour. However, clients may refer that work to their city attorneys and village solicitors, Hawk said.
If the pitch seems too good to be true, Mayor Dave Eades says it is.
"He (Hawk) wasn't counting refunds," Eades said.
Refunds to city taxpayers for 2013 are budgeted to run $80,000. Subtracting those dollars from the projected $142,000 in savings through R.I.T.A., leaves $62,000 to cover the salary and benefits of a local tax administrator.
"It's about a wash," Eades said.
He's also skeptical of R.I.T.A.'s 3 percent fee, noting it is re-evaluated annually and can fluctuate.
Costs associated with enforcement, including subpoenas and attorney fees, also concern Eades.
"They don't tell you the price until you sign a contract," he said.
Eades will formally present his reservations regarding R.I.T.A. to council members at the group's May 1 meeting.

When you look and compare all of the speedsters, is Flash truly the fastest? If you throw him up against Runner or Makkari, wouldn't they be able to beat him? I mean, all 3 of them are speedsters first and foremost, and Runner is very fast. He was fast enough to outrun Silver Surfer if I remember correctly. Makkari is the eternal of speed. That is what he focused on, and Makkari is extremely fast. I mean, I kind of find it hard to believe that Flash is the fastest comic book character when there are characters like Runner and Makkari around.
Is Flash truly the fastest character in all of comic books?

I've never seen any other character go as fast as Wally is portrayed to have gone..........
Zoom is the only one who can look as fast as Wally..... But he has no kinetic energy, he just warps his time stream to appear fast......
So Wally probably is the fastest speedster.............

"Zoom isn't actually fast, though."
Fast. adj.
Moving or able to move, operate, function or take effect quickly. Quick, swift, rapid.
Sounds like Zoom is pretty fast to me.
I think people get confused because characters in the comics will say that Zoom has no speed. That is, he has no connection to the speed force. Zoom has been refered to as "the fastest man alive" so I'd say that when he had his powers, he was definately faster than the Flash.
Zoom is technically faster then flash bc he runs via timestream and there are no limitations to it bc he shares the power with no one else. so that would make wally 2nd fastest. =(
Bart Allen is the fastest Flash it's said to be, I used to think it was barry though...once they go Speed Force nothing can go faster so yeah, they're all faster then SS, Makari, Northstar and Runner...so is Zoom since as others mentioned, he can slow time around him down and just move faster then everyone else.

Don't be fooled its the red suit.. he just looks like he's going really fast.
Zoom II / Hunter Zolomon is currently depowered so whether or not he has speed is irrelevant. And despite hyperbolic descriptions of his powers, in terms of actual demonstrable speed feats, Wally has him beat (barring one story arc- with every other appearance them being on par).
Of actually repeatedly demonstrated speed, Wally West is the fastest.
re: Which Flash is Fastest?
The rough answer is whomever is the title Flash. The only reason for that is because he's called "The Fastest Man Alive" and that's kinda undercut if there's another Flash out there who's actually faster.
That said, there are different standards of proof. If you go by hearsay, adult Bart was the Fastest. Everyone said so in the comic but he never showed it. If you go by title, the main Flash book is currently Barry's so he's the fastest. If you go by "feats" (that is, events that took place in-story in current continuity) or demonstrations of actual speed, Wally's the fastest until another Flash does something more impressive (which, for the time being, is unlikely because Barry's being written more street level currently). You could also by citation (same as "feats" but instead of cherry picking only the fastest speeds, picking specific examples when their speed was compared or talked about in comics; or taking an "average" of how their speed is portrayed) which goes in every direction for specific instances but the " average" would be that they're all equal.
The real answer for any individual fan is whichever Flash you like the best. :P
Those trying to be more diplomatic about it might try to differentiate their powersets. Jay is a veteran who's been through WW2, he has a bunch of hat-tricks where he uses his metal helmet much like Captain America uses his shield, he is first... but because of age his endurance and top speed isn't there. Barry always had a high top speed that he didn't have to earn and thus he focused on learning a lot of quasi-scientific speed tricks that don't make sense today but we take them for granted as part of Flash's powerset (intangibility, whirlwinds, etc) revolving around molecules and aura. Wally's arc was all about recapturing the speed he had when he was Kid Flash, going beyond it, and discovering the Speed Force and its tricks so his techniques tended to be more metabolism / speed-based / kinetic-energy related but more powerful than Barry. Finally, Bart, due to his youth, has the highest potential since he's learning about the Speed Force young, whereas Barry never knew and Wally learned it older... but so far is not quite as fast.
Anyways, you can interpret the question a bunch of different ways.
Zoom is technically the fastest.

" have to say all though flash is the fastest sa superman has the all time speed feat not even flash has beaten that feat yet "I don't get it
EDIT: I mean before he was crippled. Lol.
" @Mainline: The one who's in the wheelchair, you know, the guy who was crippled thanks to Geoff Johns selfishness. But Zoom, Hunter, is technically the fastest, though he's not actually running fast.Even before then he was only ever faster in Blitz. Every time he appeared afterwards The Flashes (besides Jay) were on par with Zoom II in terms of speed. For story reasons, sure, he was declared faster in Blitz, but in practice that all went away afterwards, The Flashes have demonstrated faster speed both historically before and afterwards. In other words, hanging Zoom II's speed on Blitz is like saying Doomsday is the strongest character ever... the characters and stories have evolved since then.

I'm not so big on the Flash's history, but what makes Wally faster than Barry?
EDIT: Nevermind, mainline pretty much answered my question.
" @Mainline: Zoom hasn't really lost any speed races. "Sure he did, Rogue War, Flash v2 #225, Wally beats him in speed- otherwise he wouldn't have been able to touch him to save the day- and that's without the speed steal he used in Blitz.
@Amegashita said:
" @Mainline: Well Zoom is still technically the fastest, Hunter, on the other hand, is not. "I get that you're a Zoom fan but this is a silly argument... you can't be the fastest if you can't defend your title. "Hey Zoom, wanna race? What's that... you forfeit? I win!"
Nice assumption, but that is wrong. It's not nice to assume things about people you barely know.
get that you're a Zoom fan but this is a silly argument... you can't be the fastest if you can't defend your title. "Hey Zoom, wanna race? What's that... you forfeit? I win!" "
I agree that it's a "nice assumption" because you're doing cartwheels to justify why Zoom II is the fastest- not only do you have to rely on a "technicality" in terms of what speed means, but you have to ignore his current state, ignore his most recent showings, ignore the highest showings of other characters, and hang everything on one story over half-a-decade ago in order to show favor to one character's mantel's ranking... along with gymnastics about "intentions", hyperbole with saying "synonymous with fastest" (despite the debate as to whether "fast" even applies showing otherwise), and finally taking what Johns did personally by calling it "selfish"... it's a pretty clear picture and a reasonable assumption.
" @Demas said:Nice assumption, but that is wrong. It's not nice to assume things about people you barely know. "
get that you're a Zoom fan but this is a silly argument... you can't be the fastest if you can't defend your title. "Hey Zoom, wanna race? What's that... you forfeit? I win!" "
Also, don't like me using the word selfish, then I'll change it into hypocritical, considering all the things he's done to other characters. Yet, when it comes to his character, because he doesn't want his character being used incorrectly, he crippled him.
and finally taking what Johns did personally by calling it "selfish"... it's a pretty clear picture and a reasonable assumption.
1. Relying on a technicality
2. Ignoring current state.
3. Gymnastics to argue the "mantle" is still fast even if the person isn't.
4. Ignoring the most recent showings.
5. Ignoring the highest showings of other characters.
6. Taking a 7 year old story at face value while creating unwritten excuses for every story since.
7. Hyperbole with respect to "synonymous" despite clear debate and contention on the issue
8. Feeling as if Johns has taken something from you or DC's domain (which wouldn't matter if you weren't attached to the character)
So my grounds are clear, looks more like reason to me than spurious accusation. If you have to do that much work to argue someone is the fastest, you're either a fan or stubborn or both. Regarding intentions, that's pretty much destroyed by when and how Wally caught him at the end of Rogue War and his stated motivations in Rogues' Revenge... it takes pretty colored memory of those stories to argue Zoom was choosing not to go his fastest in those stories.
2.) I wasn't ignoring his current condition, obviously he wouldn't be the fastest with that which is why I specifically said I was talking about pre-crippling and pre-losing powers.
3.) The mantle is still fast, Hunter isn't but that doesn't make the mantle so.
4.) Haven't ignored anything.
5.) His highest showing has shown that he was faster than the Flash family, so yeah.
6.) Uh-huh, you can keep believing that.
8.) It doesn't matter to me, I'm not a Flash fan nor am I a fan of his enemies. I'm a Billy Batson, and Marvel Family fan. I just don't like a writer like Geoff Johns, or any writer for that matter, preventing a character from being used just because he doesn't like someone else using them the way they were, especially when he does a lot of degrading and disrespecting of characters himself.
If you have to do that much work to argue someone is the fastest, you're either a fan or stubborn or both.
Back at'cha =P
You're ignoring his condition by claiming the mantel is fastest which is pretty ridiculous, especially when it was disproven even has Hunter held the mantel. You're ignoring Rogues' Revenge and Rogue War, both where he was motivated- said so- and was still outraced. You're relying entirely on one time that Zoom was faster, which is like saying Doomsday is forever the strongest or that Superman will always beat Captain Marvel because he beat him that one time. The Flash family and Zoom have since left that time behind and all present showings put them on par with each other.
Once again, I haven't ignored anything. I admit that I never read any of things you've mentioned and if you what you've said is true, then I will change what I said. More importantly, why does it matter so much to you. What I said shouldn't matter to you, and you shouldn't care.
And just to say this, the context of Zoom's powers should not allow anyone to actually keep up with him as easily as you make it sound, I will definitely have to look into those things since it really makes no sense.
" And just to say this, the context of Zoom's powers should not allow anyone to actually keep up with him as easily as you make it sound, I will definitely have to look into those things since it really makes no sense. "I appreciate you looking into it, you'll see he isn't what he was hyped to be.
Regarding the power description, that's never really a basis for extrapolation. The Sentry by all rights should be completely invulnerable to physical harm based on his power description, but nonetheless he gets hurt by physical blows, crashing helicarriers, etc. Even if it is the source and explanation of their powers, the practical application is what matters. And, as applied, Zoom is only so fast. It's the same for every character. Even The Flash. They can regulate their friction and kinetic energy, but that doesn't mean they can touch things and make them freeze or burst into flames because we don't extend their powers beyond showings and Zoom has only been shown to be so fast.

First reviewed by Tim
I liked the location, just off Unter den Linden, the main Avenue in East Berlin.The modern style was attractive to me. The staff was very efficient and friendly.
The overall experience was fantastic.Outstanding location, very good service, very nice atmosphere.Style that merge in a perfect way the classic bulding with modern touches.Strongly recommended.
What won me over was the staff. Super professional, friendly and very helpful. Oh and the fantastic size of our room! Also, the best buffalo mozzarella outside Italy. I've been to a lot of leading hotels but this was by far the most comfortable stay in terms of atmosphere, service and amenities. The spa deserves full credit for its late opening hours, fantastic 20 m pool and up-to-date gym. The joy was in the details.
The service was some of the best I have ever had. The public spaces and the rooms are dramatically beautiful, but very comfortable at the same time. The food was superb. Afternoon tea was a big plus. The spa was lovely, but small. The pool area, in a giant old bank vault, was spectacular. The view from my room, over an enormous square, surrounded by beautiful old East German museum and bank buildings, was breathtaking.
Wonderful rooms, great location, perfect service and the best cocktail bar I've ever been to in Germany
housekeeping was excellent. Rental bikes available, services excellent
I was really impressed by the hotel de Rome, with its interesting architecture and perfect location close to shopping, the Opera and the museums island.The service was perfect. The Italian food very good. Great place.
This is a beautiful hotel with wonderful rooms and great service.

Yankees Designate Eduardo Nunez For Assignment
By Jeff Todd [April 1 at 3:08pm CST]
The Yankees have designated shortstop Eduardo Nunez for assignment, tweets Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News. A 40-man roster spot was needed for fellow infielder Yangervis Solarte, who beat out Nunez for the club's utility infield role.
Needless to say, the move represents a disappointing step for the 26-year-old, who was once viewed as the eventual replacement for the legendary Derek Jeter. While it remains to be seen whether this means the end of his time in the New York organization, Nunez could well be headed elsewhere.
The Blue Jays have agreed to sign corner infielder Juan Francisco, according to a report from Hector Gomez of Dominican radio outlet ZDeportes (via Twitter). Francisco, 26, had spent camp with the Brewers but was released when he lost the battle at first to Mark Reynolds and Lyle Overbay. He is a client of Relativity Baseball.
I think this is a good idea to have everything in one easy to find place during Spring Training, but during the season when the board's more active, I don't think it's necessary to consolidate everything. I'd rather allow users to comment on a particular story if he or she sees fit. If anyone disagrees and would prefer everything in one place, please chime in.
Tom Servo (04-02-2014)
I see your point, and agree with it -- to an extent. I think bigger deals deserve their own thread, for example Miguel Cabrera extension, but smaller deals like Eduardo Nunez being DFA's should be consoldated into one thread.
Just my 2 cents.
I think the Reds should attempt to get Nunez, I think he would be a better utility IF than Santiago.

True, and if it is a topic not many care about it will quickly move down to the 2nd page, so even if there are a lot of threads only the popular ones will survive.
When has the concept of having one thread, ever stopped this board from having multiple threads, about the same topic going, at the same time?
I prefer the thread stickied, with links, but no real discussion or commentary. If something warrants more discussion, then a separate thread can be created.

Braves Claim Pedro Beato From Reds
By Jeff Todd [April 2 at 3:07pm CST]
The Braves have claimed reliever Pedro Beato off of waivers from the Reds, tweets David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Beato will go right onto the team's active roster in time for Friday's game, O'Brien adds (Twitter links), with another reliever likely to be optioned to create space.
Beato, a 6'6" righty, threw last year in the Red Sox organization. He allowed only four earned runs in ten big league frames, but spent most of the year at Triple-A, where he posted a 2.98 ERA over 51 1/3 innings. The 27-year-old saw his most extensive MLB action in 2011with the Mets, when he registered a 4.30 ERA in 67 innings.
Outfielder Dave Sappelt has been released by the Phillies, tweets Cotillo. Sappelt himself said on Twitter that he appreciates the club carrying him while undergoing offseason surgery. The 27-year-old has seen limited action in three big league seasons.
Blue Jays Designate Jeremy Jeffress For Assignment
By Jeff Todd [April 4 at 10:26pm CST]
The Blue Jays announced that they have designated reliever Jeremy Jeffress for assignment, tweets Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca. In a corresponding move, the team recalled righty Marcus Walden to take his roster spot, the club announced.
Jeffress, 26, gave up three hits and a run tonight in what could have been his last appearance for Toronto. He has seen MLB time in five seasons, but has never logged more than 15 1/3 innings in any one season. Jeffress has yet to harness his big arm, as his career 6.7 BB/9 tally in the bigs would indicate. He did put up outstanding results last year, as he put up a 0.87 ERA in 10 1/3 big league frames (10.5 K/9 against 4.4 BB/9) and a 1.39 mark in his 32 1/3 minor league innings (8.4 K/9 against 3.6 BB/9).

Amazon Description:

But then Lawrence goes missing. And he's not the only one. Victoria soon discovers that The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls is not what it appears to be. Kids go in but come out… different. Or they don't come out at all.

Opera for Children? The Pig Flies
Editorial Staff • West End • 11 Dec 2006
Non-stop music
How do you kiss a pig? The informal "focus group" of eight-year-olds watching the Young Vic's Christmas show in rehearsal really needed to know the answer. John Fulljames, directing The Enchanted Pig, Jonathan Dove's new musical-cum-opera, says later that it was a rather good question, what with deciding exactly how the snout might get in the way of the lips etc. The person for whom this is a truly urgent matter is Princess Flora (played by Royal Academy student Caryl Hughes) who finds herself rather unfairly married to a hairy boar after she and her sisters have disobeyed their father and consulted the Book of Fate. But that's fairy tales for you.
Against all the odds, Flora falls in love with the Pig from the North and (guess what) he's revealed to be an enchanted handsome prince. But the prince has to remain a pig by day and when Flora attempts to free him he is - literally - whisked away by a witch who has ear-marked him for her spoilt daughter. Flora must undertake a perilous journey to win her husband back.
So far so charming. But opera for primary children? No one wants to label the piece as such - in fact the cast consists of an equal mix of opera singers and musical theatre actors - but it is sung through, with no spoken dialogue. Dove says, "If the music doesn't stop, the whole thing is heightened and you enter a different imaginative world".
The love duet between Flora and Pig proves this beyond doubt as soprano Hughes and baritone Rodney Clarke take fairy tale theatre into emotional realms few children will have experienced. Nevertheless, parents of young theatregoers need not fear that the show will be too demanding: there are some rollicking funny bits too, a few of the naughty words - wee, poo and fart - that children find hilarious, fabulous flying and more than a sprinkling of magic.
What about intelligibility? Fulljames is pretty confident: "It's about technique; once the thoughts are clear, the diction is clear. And there is a fabulous acoustic in the Young Vic now: live enough for music and dry enough for text. The band is just six players - nothing electronic or amplified - and, of course, the audience is so close."
Successful collaboration
Fulljames' Opera Group has already collaborated successfully with the Young Vic and is now officially an associate company. David Lan, the theatre's artistic director, says: "Just as we have always encouraged young directors, we want to do the same for young companies". The Opera Group's inspiring community piece, Tobias and the Angel (with libretto by Lan) opened the stunningly refurbished Young Vic in October. Two years earlier, when the production was first seen, Lan thought that "some more of this magic" might make a fitting addition to the Young Vic's long list of outstanding children's shows, from Grimm Tales to Tintin.
Dove and librettist Alasdair Middleton began searching anthologies and eventually settled on an unusual Romanian folktale, one from the "animal-groom cycle" (according to psychologist Bruno Bettelheim's categorisation). Beauty and the Beast is a more familiar example of this kind of rites-of-passage story in which a girl's fear of sexuality is profitably faced. This time our heroine learns the rather more sophisticated lesson that marriage might be more complicated than first love.
Middleton says, "It's important to be funny - and a bit naughty." His libretto includes witty references to a number of other tales; the King warns his daughters: "If elves should do the housework/ It's only as a ploy/ And always, girls, remember -/ A spindle's not a toy". The characters all have distinct, often funny personalities. And the devoted but comically bickering couple, the North Wind and his wife, are, Middleton announces, "based on my parents, who live in the North". These two are played by seasoned operatic pros, Nuala Willis and John Rawnsley.
The music helps to tell the story. Listen for the pig sounds from the trombone, not to mention Clarke's deep, dark baritone, a match for his rugby-player figure: "We are definitely not aiming for a sweet pink piglet" he confirms. Indeed not. An imposing boar with a taste for rolling in smelly mud, Clarke's Pig is today sporting splendid trotter-like shoes such as - he says - Japanese builders find useful when climbing ladders. Design solutions (they are Dick Bird's province here) can, it seems, come from unexpected quarters.
Eclectic ensemble
Even in straight opera, Dove always chooses to work with good actors (Nuala Willis is a long-standing favourite, especially for comedy) but, in this case, acting skills are essential. "The music is in some ways simpler. It requires more of the performer. Just singing the notes will not be enough". Casting took Dove and Fulljames six to eight months, longer than ever before. Not only do the actors have to sing and the singers to move well (and possibly fly), they all had to gel into an ensemble. Everyone except Hughes plays several parts and together they make up the storytelling chorus.
Exponents of the different disciplines seem to be enjoying discovering other methods, although Delroy Atkins on (the King of the West and the Sun) felt a bit intimidated at first: "They pick up a score and read it like a newspaper! I'm saying - 'Can I have my note please?'". But he and Akiya Henry (Day) perform a very physical number outside the repertoire of opera singers.
Caryl Hughes says of all the musical theatre actors (Kate Chapman and Joshua Dallas as well as Henry and Atkinson): "They are amazing. They have such energy. They go and go, whereas I have to rest my voice." She and Clarke are allowed some respite as "alternates" Anna Dennis and Byron Watson (two more impressive acting opera singers) cover some performances, but the principals still sing six a week. North-Walian Hughes, described by Dove as "intense and with a wildness about her", is scarcely off-stage. She may be doing very little talking over the next few months.
So here is an innovative and surprising take on a folktale, but it is one nevertheless. Why do we need to return to them every Christmas? David Lan (a one-time anthropologist) says: "Christmas is a time for going back to the source of our strength, love, bringing the family together, but there is a paradox as it often leads to terrible rows. These stories are analagous. There is a darkness, a brutality, but we want peace to be restored. And then the cycle begins again."
For Dove, "When music is part of the story from the beginning, anything could happen. Pigs, indeed, might fly."
The Enchanted Pig receives its world premiere on 14 December 2006 (previews from 1 December) and continues until 27 January 2007.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Better than expected!
The pictures on the website don't do this product justice. The quality of the printing and materials are much nicer than expected. Customer service is efficient & friendly (rare combo!) and overall fantastic. I needed to add a picture to the top inside flap, and they did it exactly as I had requested. A real person called me to let me know that they had received the order and also when my proof was ready. Really great company & products.
A great quality Christmas Card!
Magnet Street always delivers when it comes to quality cards. With personalization, they always spend time with you to make sure they are perfect and to your liking. I have always had a great experience with them and completely recommend them to everyone :)
Quick, Easy and Stylish
I used Magnetstreet for my wedding save the dates and invitations and they did a great job. Again, I trusted them with my Christmas cards and they turned out great. I think this design looks even better in person and picture was very clear. I changed the color of the block behind "JOY" to dark green to be more holiday looking, and then changed the text to a cream color. I also changed the typeface to something more traditional looking and our names to a green to match the front. I also added a bible verse about joy to the top inside panel. The cardstock is very sturdy too. The only thing that I was a bit disappointed in was the size of the print. It came out a lot smaller than I thought and did not fill as much of the space on the card as I wanted. I used size 9 font, and would recommend maybe a size 10. It's still readable and very pretty. The order shipped very quickly and within a week my cards were made, delivered and I've mailed them out. Thanks!
Quality service, product and pricing
Having ordered from Magnetstreet, previously, I knew that I would be pleased with the cards this year. I was unaware that the quallity of the cardstock and envelopes was even better than before. Already, I have heard from friends and family with compliments on how this card stands out when compared with other customized ones. Thank you for continuing to offer good customer service, good products and good pricing.
Beautiful card
I love this website and the creativity that it gives the user!

Comment: "High level" programming environment? Sigh. (Score 2) 76
by nxmehta (#36233796) Attached to: Cray Unveils Its First GPU Supercomputer
The fact that writing C and Fortran code using a message passing library constitutes a high level programming environment is a complete indictment of the sad state of parallel programming today. Seriously, do you want to be programming complex parallel algorithms on HPC machines using Soviet Era technology? I've tried that and it made me want to jump out a window. It's about as easy to program in this type of an environment as it is to program an FPGA (hint: it's a pain in the ass).

They should just replace Mir. I want to see Brock defend his title against some top level opponents. Other than maybe Gonzaga though, I can't think of who else might be in line.
UFC 98 Headliner Frank Mir has been forced out of his highly anticipated rematch with Brock Lesnar due to a knee injury he suffered in training. Mir has already had surgery on his knee and is expected to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks.
It is unclear at this time if the UFC will find a replacement for Mir or just scrap the fight altogether and find a replacement for the main event.
A big hit for the UFC, who earlier in the week announce the event on their website.
For the latest on UFC 98, check out our UFC Rumors section.
They should just replace Mir. I want to see Brock defend his title against some top level opponents. Other than maybe Gonzaga though, I can't think of who else might be in line.
I think they should bring in Junior Dos Santos or Chieck Kongo to fight Brock for the title. They would have to pull Kongo from his UFC 97 fight with Antoni Hardonk to do so, but it would be an option. Dos Santos last fought at the end of Feb., so he may have enough time to train for a fight with Lesnar.
Another disappointing page in the dull UFC heavyweight story. Dana White needs to suck up his pride get Fedor…enough said.
Dana White needs to suck up his pride AND get Fedor…enough said…for real this time.
Dave, it's not about Pride man. It's Business.
Fedor's people wanted Dana to build an arena in Russia and co-promote with M-1.
That's not sucking up your pride, that's just stupid.
Plus we all know he has a meeting with Fedor IN PERSON this time in the summer for obvious reasons.
But even if he gets Fedor then what? Let him clean out mediocre division?
Brock isn't ready for FEDOR
I have to agree Brock isn't ready for Fedor.
brock must be relieved.
Damn, I was looking forward to see how Lesnar was going to approach Mir this time.
Title shot for Congo maybe???
Well I hope they give Lesnar an opponent to fill in for Mir but I dont see them doing it. Im really not caring too much about seeing this fight anyways so they can wait as long as they want. I just really dont have too much respect for lesnar or mir when it comes to being a well rounded badass. Mir has subs and lesnar has size which he got from roids.
It almost has to be Kongo. Other than that there really isnt anyone in the division worth getting a shot right now other than the winner of carwin gonzo and the will not likey be ready to fight lesnar on what 6, 8 weeks. Kongo or scrap it I say.
i bet you nog would be happy to fill in for mir just like bj filled in for gsp to fight hughes
good point dane i think they might just do that and let nog fight lesnar. other than that its got to be kongo or the winner of carwin/gonzaga.
If the rumors from UFC 101 are true then I doubt Nog will take this fight, thats an event that you KNOW its going to be sold out in a week or two after being announced. Kongo is the one who deserves a title shot at this point either way I think after the Mir/Lesnar fight Kongo still was next in line to get his tilte shot.
Mir is a pussy anf got Scaryed to fight brock..
i dont think theyw ill bring anyone in to fight brock..
If the winner of the comain event Doeasnt get hurt they will put him in..
i dont think kongo would of got the title shot i think they would of put him against the winner of carwin/gonsaga fight then the winner of that fight would of got the title shot, now everything is messed up so who knows what ther gonna do.
I say cancel gaberial gonzaga put congo in his place and throw gabriel gonzaga in with brock that will be much better of a match up gab can stand up and fight on the ground and he will also bring a helluva leg kick to the fight.
kongo is an alright choice but he gases real quick and i dont see him beating brock but gab would be more of a challange for him and give brock better street cred. in my book.
Thats just my opinion though. I dont think frank is a pussy he has always had a knee injury and if it got hurt than why take a fight where you need to be 100% or close to it. that would be dumb and we all already had the conversation on knee injurys.
If nog does fight lesnar boy i dont think brock has what it takes to pull that one off nog is a beast and has fought all of the best, and if that is the case brock better not get exicted and rush this guy he has alot of experiance. I already know what all the lesnar fans are gonna say brock is gonna run through him blah blah blah blah
if the nog that faught mir showed up to fight brock he would get destroyed.
it says on yahoo that the fight id still on
i agree with you on that dane, but ive never seen mir fight like that before so maybe that was a one time thing who knows.
UFC moves Lesnar-Mir to UFC 100
Yeaa so im feeling a conspiracy here…i know dana wants 100 to be big and why not postpone the two big guys by saying one has an injury to light up that card even more…
damn the way shane carwin looks brock better keep that chin tucked in
he even has bigger hands than brock
i agree with you jimmy a brock vs carwin fight could be something to see.

Lori or Luri (Lori/Persian: لری, pronounced [loriː], [luriː]) is a collection of Southwestern Iranian languages[2][3] which are mainly spoken by the Lurs and Bakhtiari people in the Iranian provinces of Lorestan, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad and parts of Khuzestan and Esfahan province and Fars provinces. Lori is a descendant of a variant of Middle Persian[4] and is lexically similar to modern Persian.[4] According to the linguist Don Stillo: "Persian, Lori-Baḵtiāri and others, are derived directly from Old Persian through Middle Persian/Pahlavi".[5] These dialects are also referred to as the "Persid" southern Zagros group.[6] The special character of the Lori language suggests that its spreading area was Iranicized from Persia and not from Media.[7][8]
"Luri and Bakhtiari are much more closely related to Persian, than Kurdish."[9] And Lori also represents a language continuum between Persian language and Kurdish language varieties, and is itself composed of three distinct languages: Loristani, Bakhtiari and Southern Lori. Traditionally, Lori has been categorised as a single language. Some scholars have stated that Lori is only a highly accented or لهجه (lahjeh) form of Persian. And, on the other hand, some researchers are supporting the division of the Lori continuum into more than one language.[4] According to Encyclopædia Iranica, "All Lori dialects closely resemble standard Persian and probably developed from a stage of Persian similar to that represented in Early New Persian texts written in Arabic script. The sole typical Lori feature not known in early New Persian or derivable from it is the inchoative marker (see below), though even this is found in Judeo-Persian texts.[2] There do exist transitional dialects between Southern Kurdish and Lori-Bakhtiāri, and Lori-Bakhtiāri itself may be called a transitional idiom between Kurdish and Persian.[10] "According to Sharaf Khan Bidlisi a sixteenth century historian, in his history book Sharafnama" Lurs are one of the four Kurdish tribe.[11]

Seahawks Trading for Bolts' Backup
Seattle is giving up a couple of draft picks for QB Charlie Whitehurst.
The Seahawks are set to acquire a new quarterback, and based off what they're shelling out, they're expecting big things out of Charlie Whitehurst.
According to ESPN's John Clayton, the Seahawks will obtain Whitehurst from the San Diego Chargers in a trade that calls for the teams to swap second round picks this year, moving Seattle 20 spots lower in next month's draft. San Diego will also receive Seattle's third-round pick in 2011.
On top of that, Seattle has reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with Whitehurst worth $5 million per year, a sign that the Seahawks' new front office views the 27-year-old former Clemson quarterback as more than a backup. Whitehurst, a third-round pick in the 2006 draft, has never thrown a regular-season pass, but has the size, mobility and arm strength to be an intriguing prospect.
Messages to Whitehurst's agent were not returned.
To give up so much for a player that has never taken an NFL snap seems risky, but shows that Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider like what they see in the 6-foot-4, 227-pound quarterback.
After trading Seneca Wallace, it was clear the Seahawks at least needed a backup quarterback, but based on what Seattle gave San Diego and is paying Whitehurst, it would seem they view him as a potential starter in the not-so-distant future.
Current starter Matt Hasselbeck will be 35 in September and is in the final year of his contract, and while Pete Carroll has praised Hasselbeck publicly since taking the job, the team's recent actions seem to indicate no job is safe. Hasselbeck's status beyond this year was already in doubt given his age and recent injury problems, and the acquisition of Whitehurst only lessens the odds of Hasselbeck being re-signed beyond this year.
The move also decreases the likelihood that Seattle will pick a quarterback with its first-round picks, though the possibility certainly still exists for Seattle to draft a quarterback.
After getting rid of defensive regulars Deon Grant and Darryl Tapp, this is the first big addition for Carroll and Schneider, and could be one of the early defining moments of their tenure in Seattle.
The Seahawks also announced the signing of linebacker Matt McCoy Wednesday. McCoy, who came into the league as a second-round pick in 2005, spent the past two seasons in Tampa Bay, and started two games last year.
Also, multiple reports have said the Seahawks are looking to move guard Rob Sims, a restricted free agent and starter last season. According to reports, Sims has been told not to come to the team's offseason workouts that are being held this week. The Seahawks did not comment on the report, but Sims put up a one-word post on his Twitter page Wednesday afternoon that said: "Limbo"

When doing research that involves concrete programming, it is absolutely important to be able to confirm that the code and the results are correct. Last year when I was writing the survey on Rectangle Bin Packing, I used a battery of test functions which affirmed that the generated packings were legal for each algorithm. However, it does not guarantee the quality of the packings, and the results, while correct, can still be suboptimal.

Along the years, I have accumulated tons of different utility functions for performing games-related geometric tests. Recently, I was faced by a task of implementing a generic script API for math and geometry handling. It would become a part of a generic API for a script-driven 3D engine. The scripting system would be used potentially by people who are very unfamiliar with scripting, and possibly even with mathematics. Around the same time, I was investigating developing code for a project that uses the Android NDK platform, and was looking for a math library to use on that architecture.
This is the last post I will make about bin packing. There's two things that were missing from the previous entry, so here they are.

Wash asparagus and line them up on a cutting board with the tops even. Cut off tough bottom ends.
Bring a skillet or oval casserole filled half full with salted water to boil. Dump in asparagus all at once. When water returns to the boil, cook asparagus until crisp-tender, about 1 to 3 minutes, depending on size. Drain.
Return asparagus to hot pan, squeeze lemon juice over top. Add butter and a drizzle of olive oil, tossing to coat. Add kosher salt, to taste. Serve immediately.

Egypt's fuel crisis adds to its economic woes
On Monday, Kamal told Turkey's Anadolu news agency that the government would increase the diesel it supplies to the market each day by 10 percent to 40 million liters (10 million gallons) to try to fill the demand. The fuel would be sold through gas stations owned by the military, from which he insisted it was impossible to divert the supplies to the black market.
The diesel crisis comes as the government is struggling under growing budget deficits and shrinking foreign reserves while it tries to meet its commitments to provide millions of Egyptians with subsidized bread, food and fuel. Potentially explosive public discontent has made President Mohammed Morsi wary of introducing austerity measures to cut back subsidies, a step economists say is unavoidable for reducing deficits and giving assurances to international donors to help the country's battered economy with loans and investment.
Energy subsidies make up the largest chunk of the around $20 billion a year Egypt spends on subsidies, about a third of its budget. Cutting fuel subsidies are believed to be at the top of a government reform plan presented to the International Monetary Fund to secure a much-needed $4.8 billion loan. Talks with the IMF stalled last year when Morsi quickly rescinded tax increases for fear of the public backlash.
To reduce energy subsidies, the government has announced it will start a "smart card" system in May by which vehicles with engines of 1600cc or less - smaller than most SUVs - would be eligible to a certain amount of subsidized fuel, while those with bigger engines will have to buy fuel at market price. The government has already lifted fuel subsidies for industrial companies.
But the London-based consultancy Capital Economics said Monday that Egypt is unlikely to get the loan anytime soon because of IMF reservations over the government's desire to phase in subsidy reforms gradually - apparently to delay the pain of austerity until after parliamentary elections. Parliamentary elections originally set to begin in April have been postponed indefinitely after a court ruled against the law governing the vote.
Since Mubarak's ouster in February 2011, Egypt's unrest has gouged tourism and foreign investment, the most essential sources of foreign currency. In the latest sign of the economic woes, Egypt's annual urban inflation reached 8.2 percent last month, its highest rate since May last year, according to the official Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics. Foreign reserves fell to $13.5 billion in February, down about two thirds from two years ago. The currency has fallen in value more than 7 percent against the dollar since late last year.
The government is trying to search for alternative ways to secure revenues. On Monday, the country's interim parliament agreed in principle on a draft law that allows the state to issue Islamic bonds which the government hopes it can raise some $10 billion dollars from bonds, which according to Islamic Shariah don't pay interest.
The country's already stressed agricultural and construction sectors are fearing the impact of diesel shortages.
