William & Mary Law School, located in Williamsburg, Virginia, is the oldest law school in the United States still in operation. William & Mary Law School is a part of the College of William & Mary, the second oldest college in the United States.[1] The Law School maintains an enrollment of about 650 students seeking the juris doctor, the fundamental legal degree in the United States today. Admission to the Law School is highly selective and the faculty is well regarded, according to Brian Leiter's law school rankings.
U.S. News ranks William & Mary Law School as a Top 10 public university law school and Top 25 overall. U.S. News ranked W&M Law as the 29th overall in their latest 2016 rankings of the nation's law schools.[2] For the Class of 2017, the median undergraduate GPA was 3.79 and the median LSAT score was 163.[3] William and Mary's bar passage rate for Virginia for the July 2014 exam was 84.38%, ranking fourth amongst Virginia's eight law schools.
As a public university, William & Mary charges relatively low tuition compared to many other top law schools. Among public law schools, it is the ninth-highest ranked public university law program in the survey conducted by U.S. News & World Report (the undergraduate institution is the highest ranked small public university, according to a similar survey by the same periodical).
W. Taylor Reveley III, formerly managing partner of the law firm of Hunton & Williams, was dean of the Law School until he was promoted to President of the College itself in the spring of 2009. Davison Douglas (J.D., Ph.D., M.Phil., M.A., M.A.R.), a nationally renowned legal historian, is the current dean. [4]
The former chancellor of William & Mary, Sandra Day O'Connor, delivered commencement remarks to the graduating class of the Law School in 2006, 2008 and 2010.[5]
William & Mary Law School was founded in 1779 at the impetus of the governor of Virginia Thomas Jefferson, an alumnus of the College, during the reorganization of the originally royal institution, transforming the college of William and Mary into the first University in the United States. At Jefferson's urging, the governing board of visitors of the College established a chair of law and appointed George Wythe, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, delegate to the Philadelphia Convention, and Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, its first holder. (In the English-speaking world, older law professorships include the chair at Oxford University, first held by William Blackstone, the chair at Edinburgh University's School of Law (1709), and the Regius Chair of Law at Glasgow University).
Before filling the chair of law at William & Mary, Wythe tutored numerous students in the subject, Henry Clay, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe among them. John Marshall, who became Chief Justice of the United States in 1801, received his only formal legal education when he attended Wythe's lectures at the College in 1780. St. George Tucker, who succeeded Wythe as Professor of Law and edited the seminal early American edition of Blackstone's Commentaries, also was one of Wythe's students.
The growth of the Law School was halted abruptly by the beginning of the American Civil War. The start of military campaigns on the Virginia Peninsula compelled the College to close its doors. It would be another sixty years before the historical priority in law could be revived in a modern program that is now nearly ninety years old.
After William & Mary Law School was reopened early in the twentieth century, it was moved around the main campus of the College to several different buildings in succession. In 1980, the School was moved to its current location on the outskirts of Colonial Williamsburg, a short distance from the main campus. The building has been renovated several times since 1980, with the addition of a new wing of classrooms and renovation of older classrooms in 2000, the overhaul of the Henry C. Wolf Law Library, and the construction of a new admission suite.
Cost of Attendance[edit]
The total cost of attendance (indicating the cost of tuition, fees, and living expenses) at William & Mary for the 2014-2015 academic year is $46,950 for Virginia residents and $55,950 for non-residents.[6] The Law School Transparency estimated debt-financed cost of attendance for three years, based on data from the 2013-2014 academic year, is $181,746 for residents; the estimated cost for non-residents is $210,696.[7]
According to William & Mary's official 2013 ABA-required disclosures, 56.2% of the Class of 2013 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-required, non-school funded employment nine months after graduation.[8]
William & Mary's Law School Transparency under-employment score is 12.9%, indicating the percentage of the Class of 2013 unemployed, pursuing an additional degree, or working in a non-professional, short-term, or part-time job nine months after graduation, and an additional 19.8% of the class was in school-funded jobs.[9]

The washer would skip some rinse cycles, when the spin cycle came up it would bang around like an unbalanced load even after rearranging the load. At the end of the spin cycle most of the time it would be still filled with water. The washer would intermittently stop working during the wash cycle then start working after about an hour of being unplugged. After reading the responses and comments on your site I determined most of these problems came down to the timer assembly.I ordered a new timer assembly and installed it. When I started the washer again it worked like new. Even the balance problem went away.The service and promptness from Parts Select was exceptional with very quick delivery.\Thanks:P.A.T.

It can measure height or depth of the Moon's hills or craters
CHENNAI: The Lunar Laser Ranging Instrument (LLRI), one of the 11 scientific instruments on board Chandrayaan-1, was activated on Sunday, when the spacecraft was passing over the western part of the Moon's visible atmosphere.
A press release from the Indian Space Research Organisation said the LLRI was a radar that would generate information on the height of hills, mountains, and depth of craters and valleys of the Moon.
It sent high-energy lasers towards a strip of the moon's surface and they would be reflected to the spacecraft. With this, the instrument can measure the height or depth of the Moon's hills or craters.
An ISRO official said if the laser returned late, it signified the presence of a crater or a valley. If it came back early, it meant there was a mountain or a hill.
Topographical details
The LLRI would be kept switched on and take 10 measurements per second on both day and night sides of the Moon, the press release said. It would provide topographical details of the Moon's polar and equatorial regions.
Analysis of the data from the LLRI would help in understanding the internal structure of the Moon and the mystery behind its origin. The LLRI was built by the ISRO's Laboratory for Electro-Optics Systems (LEOS) in Bangalore.
Breathtaking pictures
Meanwhile, the Terrain Mapping Camera, another instrument built by India, has been taking breathtaking pictures of the lunar surface.
On November 15, the TMC took pictures of the polar region, which showed many large and small craters including the rim of the 117 km-wide Moretus crater. On November 13, it took pictures of the equatorial region, showing craters and also part of the Torricelli crater.
Chandrayaan-1's Moon Impact Probe (MIP), which crash-landed on the Shackleton crater on November 14, has also beamed several pictures of the lunar surface. The Radiation Dose Monitor (RADOM), an instrument from Bulgaria to investigate the moon's radiation environment, has been switched on.
The pictures and scientific data sent by Chandrayaan-1 from its orbit 100 km above the moon are being received by the antennas with 32 metre and 18 metre diameter at the Indian Deep Space Network at Byalalu village, near Bangalore.
The spacecraft operations are being done from the Spacecraft Control Centre of the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network at Bangalore.Related stories:

I recently received my new Marmot Flannel and can't get over how soft this thing is. I'd like to think that I had seen my share of nice flannel shirts (I've been attempting to look a little more like a lumberjack for some time now and have a quite a few), but this is by far the finest I have ever experienced. It's just as comfortable as a nice set of pajamas but you can wear it in public and not look quite as ridiculous (although I do have this one pair of moose pajama pants that are pretty stylish). The fit and quality are great too, can't go wrong with this thing. I kinda want to buy one of every color and see if I can get away with wearing them non-stop for the next few months.

Also, I wanted to comment, because I know you're from another country, but in the U.S. the word "colored" or "coloured" has very specific, negative connotations when applied to African Americans due to it's use at specific times in our nation's history. Most AA/white families would refer to themselves as "multiracial" or "biracial" but not "multicoloured" for this reason.

Author(s): Geertz, Clifford; Inglis, Fred
ISBN 10: 0691156255. See all ISBN's
Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Clifford Geertz (1926-2006) was perhaps the most influential anthropologist of our time, but his influence extended far beyond his field to encompass all facets of contemporary life. Nowhere were his gifts for directness, humor, and steady revelation more evident than in the pages of the New York Review of Books, where for nearly four decades he shared his acute vision of the world in all its peculiarity. This book brings together the finest of Geertz's review essays from the New York Review along with a representative selection of later pieces written at the height of his powers, some that first appeared in periodicals such as Dissent, others never before published.
This collection exemplifies Geertz's extraordinary range of concerns, beginning with his first essay for the Review in 1967, in which he reviews, with muffled hilarity, the anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski. This book includes Geertz's unflinching meditations on Western academia's encounters with the non-Western world, and on the shifting and clashing places of societies in the world generally. Geertz writes eloquently and arrestingly about such major figures as Gandhi, Foucault, and Genet, and on topics as varied as Islam, globalization, feminism, and the failings of nationalism.
Life among the Anthros and Other Essays demonstrates Geertz's uncommon wisdom and consistently keen and hopeful humor, confirming his status as one of our most important and enduring public intellectuals.

Recent Green Hill Reviews
Peaceful and quiet
We highly recommend this home on the pond for a relaxing vacation. It is very comfortable and has all the amenities that you would need. Sun streams through all the large windows that overlook the water. It was clean and well decorated. We went to some great restaurants in the area and walked to the ocean...1 mile...and took long walks on the beach and could see Block island. Even in the winter it was wonderful!
Comfortable cottage in a great location
My family enjoyed a relaxing week in this comfortable, well-equipped cottage just a short walk to Green Hill Beach. The large deck and the outdoor shower are especially nice. We also appreciated the quiet and friendly neighborhood. Highly recommended!
Unbelievable Place!!
I have rented many high end beach homes up and down the Eastern seaboard and this Gatsby Cottage has to be in my top 3 best picks. Everything was just as described. It started with the drive into the property, which just set the tone. The location was the ultimate in privacy and the views were some of the best I have ever seen. What I liked best was how the views are constantly changing. If you have ever seen the movie the "Notebook", the setting reminded me of the beginning of the movie where the geese are flying into the water. Gorgeous little islands surround this place. The views from the main and the master bedroom deck will make you never want to leave. The interior of the home is immaculate and the cozy beach cottage feel is great, yet this home has plenty of room with its 3,000 square feet. The kids loved crabbing in the water and we even took the Kayak out for a nice boat ride to a very private beach. Can't wait to go back! I think I was their very first rental, Thanks for a memorable vacation.

Three Columbus men will face burglary and theft charges after allegedly breaking into a Mount Sterling residence with a juvenile and taking a firearm.
Cory M. Swihart, 18, Marcus J. Knight, 19 and Jason K. Williams, 19, were arraigned in Madison County Common Pleas Court Monday.
The three were placed on house arrest with work privileges.
The alleged burglary took place April 3 at the residence of the juvenile's father near State Route 323, according to assistant county prosecutor Nick Adkins. Several items were allegedly taken, including a firearm.
A resident nearby reported to police a suspicious vehicle parked outside the residence. Police later found the vehicle and stolen items in Franklin County.
Informal pretrial for the three suspects is scheduled for Sept. 26.
Also in common pleas court Monday, Donevan Wynkoop, 19, changed legal counsel and the residence of his house arrest during an informal pretrial hearing. He said he left his original location after a conflict with his stepmother, violating the terms of his house arrest.
Wynkoop was arraigned earlier this month for drug trafficking.
Judge Eamon Costello allowed him to change addressees and forbade him from contact with his stepmother.
The pretrial monitor also indicated that his stepmother said he was using marijuana and Percoset. Costello ordered Wynkoop to take a drug test, and Wynkoop tested positive for marijuana.
Costello said Wynkoop would be tested again in three weeks. If Wynkoop were to test positive again, Costello said it would be a "game changer."

Now I read that it damages Awlgrip but how bad is the damage? Can it be any worse than the mechanical damage I would do by rubbing and scrubbing and scraping?
I use ON/OFF Gel on our AwlCraft paint. I find it to be a tad milder than regular ON/OFF but still effective. They key with anything is to be smart about it. Yes, acids can etch Awlgrip & Awlcraft and harm the finish. However if you do small 2' sections at a time and IMMEDIATELY rinse and neutralize that section before moving on you will be okay.
Awlgrip/Akzo specifically says to not use acids but their tech support will admit that if you use it smartly you can be okay.
*Use the acid on a warmer day 80+ is best. This helps the acid work faster and this means less time on the hull.
*NEVER work on the sunny side of the hull only work the acid in the shade.
*Once the tannin staining is gone rinse IMMEDIATELY with a hose then neutralize the acid and move onto the next small section.
*Do not let it drip into the bottom paint
*Be smart about it.....
I have seen Awlgrip ruined by dumb use of acids. It looks very dull and etched. If you work fast and rinse often and neutralize you will be okay... recommended by the manufacturer, NO. can it be done? Yes, if done carefully...

The Mamiya TLRs have two sets of bellows. The outer bellows are rectangular and enclose the viewing and taking lenses. Inside there is a square bellows for just the taking lens.
A scrap TLR would be a good bellows donor. I have one here. It wouldn't be worth posting the whole body to you but if I can work out how to remove them, I could send the inner bellows to you.

Pavano had not pitched since 2012 with Minnesota. He finishes his career with a 108-107 record and 4.39 ERA. He peaked at 18-8 and 3.00 ERA with Florida in 2004.
Provided Pavano doesn't suffer any setbacks by the time he throws off a mound, he'll likely have a free-agent showcase for interested teams lined up shortly after the mound session. Pavano suffered a ruptured spleen that kept him out for the entire 2013 season after surgery. He went 2-5 with a 6.00 ERA over 63 innings in 11 starts with the Twins in 2012.
Pavano hasn't made a major-league start since June 1, 2012. The last team he pitched for was the Twins (2009-12).
"Some teams have popped in to see where he's at. Our intention is for him to throw bullpens for teams in mid-February," Pepe said.
Pavano was out all last season due to a ruptured spleen and the subsequent removal of the spleen. He last pitched in the majors for the Twins in 2012, going 2-5 with a 6.00 ERA in 11 starts.
Pavano fell while shoveling snow at his house during the winter and has been unable to begin working out.
"Carl will not be physically able to play this year as he recovers from his spleen removal and the complications that followed,'' Pavano's agent Dave Pepe told Heyman, via text message. "His hope is that he can give it a try next year.''

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 11/17/14
Here it is. We have our first deadline trade! Ian Rapoport of the NFL.com reports that sources have informed him that the Jacksonville Jaguars have traded WR Mike Thomas to the Detroit Lions. There's been no mention of what the Jaguars received in terms of compensation for Thomas. This trade came out of nowhere. The Lions recently lost Nate Burleson for the season after he broke his leg, but it seemed as though they would move forward with Titus Young and Ryan Broyles. Thomas is expected to play in the slot for Detroit. We'll have more updates as the news becomes available.

Nick Swisher's walkoff single wins it for the Boss
Jul 17, 2010, 9:48 AM EDT
You couldn't have scripted it any better. There was our hero, Derek Jeter, with a chance to give the Yankees a walkoff win on the very same night that the team honored George Steinbrenner and Bob Sheppard. It would only be fitting, right?
Apparently Dan Wheeler is more of an improv man, because he proceeded to strike out Jeter swinging. This brought Nick Swisher to the plate with two on and two out. Swisher, who already tied the game with a solo home run off Joaquin Benoit in the bottom of the eighth inning, ripped a single to right field enabling Granderson to scamper home just ahead of the throw by Gabe Kapler, giving the Yankees a dramatic 5-4 victory.
Swisher told Brian Costello of the New York Post that the Boss would have been proud.
"I think pretty much the agenda today was 'Win,' " Swisher said. "That's
what Mr. Steinbrenner wanted us to do. That's what, from all the things
I've talked to [Jeter], Posada and those guys, that's all he ever
wanted to do. On a day like this when we celebrate his life, gotta take
him out on a 'W.' "
By the way, I was having a little fun with the whole Jeter angle, but I'm pretty sure that John Harper of the New York Daily News isn't. I'm sad for him.
- YankeesfanLen - Jul 17, 2010 at 10:53 AM
John Harper can be almost as annoying as Lupica at times. This "No Yankee showed up at Bob Sheppard;s funeral" will be a drum he'll beat to death for a few days, then realize that it wasn't a point to begin with. No Giants players, past or present, were there either, just management reps from both teams.Is it remotely possible that the Sheppard family quietly requested the lack of a media circus at the funeral of a man who represented scholarship and was dedicated to teaching?
You don't get the "storybook ending:" to every game, I'm proud of Swish for the walkoff win.
- Old Gator - Jul 17, 2010 at 10:55 AM
Harper's column was full of the sort of dopey blowhard sanctimony you would expect from a writer for the New York Postilence. Note to Harper: did you bother to check whether the Steinbrenners or any of the Borg factotums checked in with the Sheppard family about the funeral? Betcha someone did and cleared the matter afterwards, if not in advance. You could also give Sheppard's widow a quick ring and ask if she's upset, and if she needs anyone to get publicly indignant on her behalf. It's safe. She strikes me as too polite to tell you where you could, and ought to, get off.

This is when Havok was the only solid physics engine out there prior to Novedex
What are you talking about now? First you want to talk about PC only, the list you just showed me a list that isn't PC only. What do you exactly want to talk about? Because throwing a billion darts at a board you are bound to hit something correctly.
There is only one camp because ATi doesn't get off their butt to do anything, they can't talk and show powerpoint slides all they want it, buts till they actually get some decent opencl and direct compute drivers and with bullet with some games, they don't have much of a choice (yeah they aren't in the greatest shape right now).
Funny thing is games 10 years ago had very little outside of collision detection based on bound box, even games 5 years ago, same old collision detection based on pre poly (acutally just more precise bound box based on skeletons), now we are doing per poly with physX, see the difference in escalation.
When you really want to talk about things like this, guys really read some basic game programming books, don't need to know the real thing and make a game, just the basics and history have how games have evoloved from a tech point of view. To me when people put out for the most part pointless arguements based on crap knowledge, guess what.........
They don't really need to do anything when viewed in broader terms,as ATI is owned by AMD and AMD makes CPU's,which are used to run physics in games,among other things of course,and obviously,intel also has a say in the matter,since they're also primarily a CPU business afterall,and both are interested in selling the fastest and most expensive CPU's they can make to hardware enthusiats.
The other point is that i have yet to see a single user claim that at least with Nvidia's current hardware(might be different with Fermi),that they can run a game and GPU physics on the same GPU and still get acceptable performance,especially if the user in question like to play games at high quality settings,so at least for now,GPU physics are relegated to either Dual GPU cards,or multi card SLI setups,which have the extra power to pull it off with good performance.
Nvidia will have a real edge when they develop a single card with a single processor in it, that can do both workloads(graphics + physics),at high graphics quality,while still having playable performance....Until then,it's a gimmick plain and simple.

In the Red
LORD KNOWS THOSE second-generation kitsch-a-billy bands have never done it for me, from the Reverend Horton Heat to Southern Culture on the Skids. Such stuff is usually about as convincing as an industrial band that wears cowboy hats and samples Jimmy Swaggart, or David Byrne's thinly veiled macarena routines. O, there is gold in them there pioneers, such as the Cramps, whose act worked for a couple of years, and Tav Falco, who is an earnest eccentric. These bands took to the '50s when that decade was at its most misremembered and least knowable. But why turn a nostalgia for misogyny and anti-communism into a pleasure source? I prefer the authenticity of illusion to the illusion of authenticity. As for now, thrift-store clothes were cheaper before the Reverend passed through town, and I will never forgive him for that.
Among the second-generation kitsch-a-billy practitioners is Mick Collins, who created a ghoulish garage rock with his band the Gories. But Collins has gotten himself a beard of authenticity in producing fellow Detroit-er Andre Williams. Williams is, as they say in Detroit, a Rock and Roll Legend, having written "Shake a Tail Feather" and "Humpin', Bumpin' & Thumpin'." But, as legend has faded, he hasn't gone the tuxedoed route of the R&B revue. Williams has contributed his distinctive mumble to the Parliafunkadelicment crew, and on Silky he can frequently be heard referencing something called "pussy" with licentious zeal.
Collins brings along former Gorie guitarist Dan Krohna and together they apply fiber-optic technology to make things as self-consciously messy as possible. I credit good amps with their success. The modern (read: '80s) touches are subtly tasteless enough to work; see the twang of "Country and Western Song" and the sheet-metal percussion in "Bring Me My Car Back Unstripped," which pushes Williams out of the juke joint and into the junkyard. Ultimately, the record's carefully constructed feel is more Tom Waits than Esquerita, but Williams blossoms under this kind, if not gentle, form of exploitation.

A Rhetorical Approach to News Discourse: Media Representations of a Controversial Study on 'Reparative Therapy'
Academic journal article
By Stewart, Craig O.
Western Journal of Communication , Vol. 69, No. 2 , April 2005
Article excerpt
Since the rhetoric of science emerged as a field of inquiry, there have been at least two possible areas for investigation: the study of how science is used in public discourse and the study of how scientists argue and persuade within their professional communities. But, as the field developed, research in the latter area outpaced that in the former, leaving 'the professional discourse of scientists ... as the "prototypical" form of text studied in the [rhetoric of science]' (Ceccarelli, 2001, pp. 314-315). Often, rhetorical work in the first area has concerned itself with how scientific information is changed or distorted as it is accommodated for the general audience (e.g., Fahnestock, 1986) and has thus tended to reify the notion that scientific and public discourse occurs in two separate spheres (Locke, 2002). This traditional view of science communication, often called the deficit model, holds that public or social knowledge is external to, and inferior to, scientific knowledge, and that communication between these spheres is unidirectional, from science to the public (Myers, 2003).
However, as Beacco, Claudel, Doury, Petit, and Reboul-Toure (2002) argue, scientific discourse is not limited to popularizations or accommodations from scientists to the general public via journalist mediators. Instead, scientific discourse is part of a great deal of public discourse, both in the news media and in everyday talk. This overlap is apparent in news reports and everyday talk about topics ranging from health issues, such as rates of cancer and prevention of HIV/AIDS, to technological issues, such as energy policy and genetic engineering, to social issues such as whether there are gender differences in brain structure and whether homosexuality is a heritable trait (and the implications of such research on debates about civil rights). Although science is frequently implicated in public discourse, it often requires, as Darsey (2002) notes, 'the public to accept ]scientific] explanations that are non-obvious, even counter-intuitive' (p. 471). Although such communication has not replaced more traditional accommodations of expert discourse for lay audiences (Moirand, 2003), the increasingly important role of science in communication about controversial political issues has problematized the division between technical and public spheres (Myers, 2003). For example, in many science stories in the news media, the role of expert is no longer limited to the scientist, but can also include citizens or advocates (Beacco et al., 2002; Conrad, 1999).
In this paper, I show how theoretical and methodological insights from discourse analysis and rhetorical theory can be applied to public communication, specifically news discourse, about controversial science. In particular, I discuss how studies of the structure of news discourse map onto Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca's notion of Presence as well as their discussion of selection and presentation of data in argumentative discourse. I then review recent discourse studies of news discourse about controversial science. I show how the linguistic choices that discourse analysts orient toward in studies of scientific discourse can be described as appeals to scientific ethos motivated by topoi derived from an idealized vision of science. Finally, I apply this framework to a set of news texts and press releases reporting and responding to a controversial study on 'reparative therapy' for homosexuality.
This analysis shows how the structure and conventions of news discourse may accomplish the rhetorical goal of demarcation (of good science from bad). This demarcation, or boundary-work, is accomplished both at the level of framing, and at the level of specific 'micro-rhetorical' linguistic choices (Johnstone, 2002) that can be made throughout a news text. In other words, the detailed textual analysis reveals some of the ways in which rhetorical strategy and audience design (Bell, 1991; Tracy, 2002) affect news discourse at the micro-level, as well as how these micro-rhetorical choices, when viewed through the lens of rhetorical theory, may affect how audiences interpret and understand what is being reported. …

The world of Howler's sophomore album

It's ironic that all this happened on the same day as another corporate media buyout: the new owner of this paper, Stern Publishing, purchasing the Twin Cities Reader, which has now stopped publication. It's not an exact parallel, but it's a depressing turn nevertheless. Ultimately, all media--this paper included--have their shortcomings, biases, and blind spots. I've always believed that the more varied the voices in a community (an issue of quality, not quantity), the richer that community is. Watching media outlets fold in the wake of corporate asset-shuffling, it's clear someone's getting richer. But as far as I can see, it isn't the community.

Erdogan insinuates that IOC is anti-Islam
- By Hillary HurdHillary Hurd is an editorial researcher at Foreign Policy.
From Beijing to Moscow from Rio to Sydney, the Olympics have spanned continents, traversed intense political terrain, and remained competitive for bidders of all colors and creeds. That said, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan recently questioned the IOC's fairness:
"No country with a majority of Muslim population has ever hosted the Olympics," Erdogan said in London after watching the Turkish women's basketball team beating Angola 72-50 in its first Olympic match.
"This is the third time for London, Madrid was the host twice," he said. "Tokyo has hosted three games. Istanbul has bid to host the Olympics five times but has never been handed the rights. This is not a fair approach."
Not yet jaded by his fourth rejection since the 2000 Olympics, Ergodan has been working to bolster Turkey's fifth bid to host the 2020 Games in Istanbul and to understand why Turkey's never won the bid. With a 75,000-person stadium already built, Ergodan's sparing no line of argument to help sway Jacques Rogge, head of the IOC.
While a number of other cities in Islamic countries have vied for the games in recent years including Cairo, Kuala Lumpur, and Doha, the winner won't be announced until September 7, 2013, in Buenos Aires.
Islamic practice has already caused some controversy in this Olympics with the dispute over whether Saudi Arabia's female Judo competitor Wojdan Shaherkani will be allowed to compete with her headscarf.

R1200GS easier to ride than F800GS?

Joined: Feb 2010

Oddometer: 1,052
Not sure where you are getting your specs, but right off of the BMW Motorrad USA site:
The weight difference fueled and ready to ride is 53 lbs....that is substantial. I am not argueing whether it is easier or harder to ride...that is this discussion and there is alot of support for the 12 even off road. I am merely talking about pure riding weight. Then the difference in the GSA, mostly fuel and crash bars, is ANOTHER 39 lbs for a total of 92 lbs more than a 800.
I do agree that with bags and the jugs sticking out and acting like a kick stand of sorts, the 11/12 bikes are possibly easier to pick up, on DRY ground. In mud the jugs make act like anchors burying into the mud...both bikes have pros and cons.
For the average BMW rider, I would say the 12 is a bit more practical bike that the 800, but that does not discount the fun factor of a more dirt bike feeling GS that you get with the 800.
ps: Yes the 800 has a longer wheelbase, but the longer Overall length is a combo of the extra wheelbase combined with a 21" front wheel over the 19" on the 1200. That may add length, but that also adds off road capabilities...I know there has been discussions on that here, but a 21" is better in most off road situations. +1 point for the 800 off road. Easier ? Insert Personal opinion here...
it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
Your take on fighting games- does it change as you get older?
I've always loved FGs these past decades, developed a thick skin :), and competed in arcades, and even some tournaments. Had fun & did OK usually.
Just wondering if anyone else isn't into competing as much anymore as get older. I'm 39, and don't get around to arcades. Don't even have a PS3, but need to visit my brother, and never tried playing someone online (his connection speed might not be very good *.*).
I miss the competition a bit, but am happy with single player content on BB, KOF13, P4A, etc. I don't miss the random stress from some people, especially since I'm rockin' some chronic pain. XD
Just throwing out a topic for fun- maybe I'll even get back into it again someday.
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. (James 1:4)
I've never really competed against anyone at them. I used to play by myself vs the AI and that's what I still do unless I see someone.
Killak and I had a few games, I won like 3 and he won like 30. It was heaps of fun.
With each passing minute the one that I love is slipping away from me. Before I know it I'm losing you.
I find I care for them less or rather new ones if that makes sense. I'm just a vet Sakura and Dan player in SF otherwise I don't tend to play true fighter games.
Although having played in a couple of convention tourneys gotta say, nothing better than a win with Dan. Just feels like such trolling haha
"All things are about Jesus Homer .......... Except this."
I definitely play fighting games a lot less and a lot less competitively than before, although I'm not so sure that's age. I think it's more just the fact that I've got less free time and more things to do within that free time. This definitely isn't helped by the lack of local competition, and the complete lack of arcades.
Their evolution is so limited that it's hard to continue to be attracted to them. I mean there is only so many different ways you can have two guys on screen slugging it out. I think the last time I saw a unique perspective on the genre was Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 because it stepped away from the stagnant fixed arena of most FGs.
I love fighting games, currently playing TTT2 and P4A. I actually think I've gotten more into them now that before.
Win or lose, it's a huge rush when you play a close game against someone.

I highly recommend Katawa Shoujo, hits you right in the feels.
Good posts. Yeah, I've always enjoyed oddball and/or low tier characters especially.
I love 2D games the most, but am also currently playing TTT2 as well.
It might not be age, but circumstances. If a regular income kicked in (it has been a while), my perspective also might change. That & overcoming 2 1/2 years of pain in the roof of my mouth (formerly head).
Looking forward to P4A & TTT2 this weekend!
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. (James 1:4)
I find that while they're still fun, a lot of games have things in them that just make them annoying to play others. Juggling combos that you can't get out of, the X-Factor mode in UMvC3. Things like that for me take some of the fun out of playing fighting games.
Go, then.....there are other worlds than these.

Backbeat Percussion StudiosRead MoreWhen award-winning percussionist Paul Peterson isn't showcasing his rhythmic skills live, he trains budding beat keepers at Backbeat Percussion Studios. During private lessons, he focuses not only on more common instruments, such as drum sets and snare drums, but on what he calls total percussion. This encompasses most of an orchestra's percussion section, from the rumbling timpani to the soft patter of two pillows banging against one another. Such well roundness lends Paul's students an advantage as they audition for ensembles such as drum lines or all-state orchestras. Equally useful are Paul's group lessons, where activities like drum circles help pupils adjust to playing with other musicians.407 N Osage Rd.Derby, KS US
Vance MusicRead MoreInstructors at Vance Music, including many members of the Vance family, draw on more than a century's worth of collective teaching experience to introduce children and adults to singing or musical expression. The school, which originally opened 60 years ago in Kansas City, teaches all styles while carrying on the tradition of classical music practiced by the Vance family's patriarch, Chester S. Vance, an accomplished pianist who toured with USO shows as a World War II veteran. Now, students at Vance can study 28 concentrations, including theory, composition, and performance with instrument or voice and experiment with varying styles of music without bringing an electric guitar into the shower.1508 W 19th St NWichita, KS US
Senseney MusicRead MoreSince 1984, Senseney Music has supplied the tools and knowledge for beginning, intermediate, and advanced musicians to ignite their musical passion. President Lori Supinie leads a team of music teachers—boasting more than 200 years' combined experience—who instruct students in vocal technique or in instruments such as flute, oboe, violin, and electric guitar. She also offers instruments for rental and purchase, including orchestral instruments, guitars, amplifiers, and pianos, as well as printed music—the ancient enemy of jazz. Technicians in her service department repair flagging instruments and maintain rental instruments at no charge.2300 E LINCOLN STWICHITA, KS US
Damm Music CenterRead MoreDamm Music Center's staff of professional melody masters fosters a friendly, positive atmosphere that invites students to ponder music's possibilities while they reach for their fullest harmonic harmony. The half-hour lessons are personalized to each student's prowess and are well-rounded, covering technical basics such as scales as well as more-advanced info on music theory, harmony, ear training, improvisation, and poseur defense. Powerful amps and a wealth of tom-toms and snares festoon the soundproof studio, allowing students to express inner anguish without over-shredding personal equipment or banging on a cousin?s percussive belly.8995 W Central AveWichita, KS US
Wichita Violin ShopRead MoreWith an eclectic hodgepodge of instruments ranging from piccolos to French horns to violas, Wichita Band Instrument Co.'s rental service allows budding Beethovens the chance to strum, tap, or blow air into new and used music-making machines on a month-to-month basis.2525 E Douglas AveWichita, KS US

Great generic bluetooth adapter4/11/2012
I've used two of these tiny adapters for bluetooth mice and they both work flawlessly if you use their drivers (ignore the included cd and get the latest from their website). The only drawback is it flashes a distracting blue when active instead of being solid on or off.

In China, a History Too Recent to Be Written?
BEIJING — In the end, the silences in the official "History of the Chinese Communist Party, 1949-1978," speak louder than its nearly one million words.
Because the extraordinary thing about this two-volume work, published in January and widely discussed this month as the party celebrates its 90th anniversary, is that, while it contains some new details regarding controversial events in the first three decades of Communist rule, one gigantic subject is passed over in almost total silence: the deaths of tens of millions of people from political campaigns.
"Not less than 60 million," said Frank Dikötter, a historian at the University of Hong Kong who is writing a book about the first years of the People's Republic.
The new history matters to the party because it tells 82 million members what to believe, as the party seeks to enhance its credibility in an age when multiple information sources are available online....
