12CMR002 - CAM - Renovation to Support EERC Project
Project Summary
The abbreviated Summary of Work is as follows:
The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) intends to renovate portions of the basement, 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 7th floors of the UT Administration Building (UTA) located at 1616 Guadalupe Street in Austin, Texas and possibly other buildings on UT Austin's Main Campus, Pickle Research Campus and other locations in the Austin area, to support the construction of the new Engineering Education & Research Center (EERC) building on UT Austin Main Campus.
The UTA building houses several UT Austin departments, which include administrative offices and classrooms. The building is a secure, 24-hour facility that will remain occupied during these renovation activities. The UTA record drawing floor plans (RD) are attached for reference only. The attached UTA preliminary floor plans indicate the areas of renovation described in the following paragraphs.
The proposed renovations at UTA will temporarily accommodate the space requirements for the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and will include partial demolition and renovation of the basement level and 2nd floor for research labs including the construction of a new required exit stair between the basement and 1st floor level. Partial renovations to the 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 7th floors will accommodate graduate student workstations, IT suite, ECE staff and faculty offices. The areas will likely require demolition within the existing suites with minimal re-work of the existing mechanical, electrical, plumbing, data, security, and fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems.
Multiple bid packages with associated GMP's are planned for the UTA renovation project. Bid Package #1 (GMP-1) will include the demolition scope of work and construction of a new required exit stair connecting the basement and 1st floor. The demolition scope of work will need to be coordinated with the UTA occupants move schedule to vacate the areas to be renovated within the UTA building. For instance, the UTA 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 7th floors will vacate on or about January 15, 2013. Bid Package #2 (GMP-2) will include the balance of the renovation scope of work in UTA basement, 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 7th floors. Additional GMP's may be required for this project as well as for possible renovations in other buildings on UT Main and PRC campuses and other locations as necessary.
Pre-Construction phase services will be provided for the UTA renovation project as outlined in the master agreement for the Construction Manager at Risk. The UTA renovation project will have at least two bid packages with separate GMP's and will require phased demolition and construction to accommodate the various office move schedules required for this project and the operational schedule for the School of Information (iSchool), which currently occupies the 1st and 5th floors. The iSchool typically schedules weekday classes as late as 9:00 P.M. and computer lab classes on weekends. All construction activities will need to be coordinated with the Owner to accommodate no disruption of these class schedules and final exams. The project schedule is projected for on or about the following dates:
• August 27, 2012 Award Construction Manager at Risk contract
• August 28, 2012 Design Development review meeting for GMP-2
• September 1, 2012 Issue BP1 Construction Documents for Demolition and Stair Construction
• October 15, 2012 - Anticipated start date for basement level demolition
• October 19, 2012 Issue GMP-2 Construction Documents for the balance of renovation scope of work in basement, 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 7th floors
• December 19, 2012 - Anticipated start date for stair demolition and construction
• January 14, 2013 Substantial Completion for new stair construction scope of work
• January 15, 2013 - Construction start for GMP-2
• July 1, 2013 Project Substantial Completion for balance of GMP-1 and GMP-2 scope of work
All disruptive construction activities (e.g. concrete demolition, sawing, coring, ram shot, embeds, etc.) shall be coordinated with the Owner and scheduled to be accomplished between the hours of 10:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. to accommodate the class schedules and final exams held at the UTA building. Other typical "no construction activity" days that UT Austin recognizes are posted on the University Academic Calendar at http://registrar.utexas.edu/calendars. UT Austin also restricts construction activities during various events, such as Explore UT (early March), UT Remembers (early May), Commencement (mid-late May), and Gone to Texas (late August) when applicable to the project location.
The general Construction Budget for the project (GMP-1 & GMP-2) is approximately:
$2,400,000.00 to $2,800,000.00

Levin argued that banks backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.should not be engaged in risky trading.
"No risky trading if you're going to go to the federal reserve and have access to federal funds or if there's going to be a federal guarantee, one or the other," he said.
The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said Monday that its 18-month investigation found that Goldman helped create the housing bubble by selling securities backed by risky subprime mortgage loans and then profited off that bubble's bursting by secretly betting against the market.
Levin's committee forced Goldman to turn over 2 million pages of documents that Levin said proves his case and shows that Goldman overall made $3.7 billion from the financial crisis.
At a testy hearing Tuesday that lasted 10 hours and 41 minutes, senators grilled Blankfein and and six others, including now-infamous Goldman trader Fabrice "Fabulous Fab" Tourre.
Tourre made headlines earlier this month after the SEC's lawsuit revealed an e-mail from him that seemed to indicate he didn't fully understand the complex deals he was making.
"More and more leverage in the system, The whole building is about to collapse anytime now ... Only potential survivor, the fabulous Fab (rice Tourre) ... standing in the middle of all these complex, highly leveraged, exotic trades he created without necessarily understanding all of the implications of those monstruosities (sic)!!!" Tourre wrote to a friend in January 2007, according to the SEC's complaint.
Tourre strongly asserted his innocence, insisting repeatedly to a Senate panel that he didn't mislead clients in a controversial mortgage derivative product the SEC claims was designed to fail.
"I deny -- categorically -- the SEC's allegation," Tourre said. "And I will defend myself in court against this false claim."
Levin on Tuesday also confronted a former Goldman trader with an e-mail in which another former Goldman executive described a mortgage-backed deal as "sh**ty."
The transaction in question was Timberwolf Ltd., a $1 billion collateralized debt obligation holding pieces of other such instruments. In an e-mail to Daniel Sparks, then head of Goldman's mortgage desk, Thomas Montag, Goldman's former head of sales and trading, called a set of mortgage-linked investments sold by the firm as "one shi**y deal," according to an e-mail that Sen. Levin quoted. Within five months, Timberwolf lost 80 percent of its value.
"Do you think it was a sh**ty deal?" Levin asked Sparks, one of seven Goldman executives who testified Tuesday. Sparks said he did not recall the e-mail, and did not directly answer the question.
"If you can't give a clear answer to that one Mr. Sparks then we're not going to get any clear answers from you today," Levin said.
Goldman's profits rose considerably after the financial collapse in 2007, just as other investment banks saw a drop.
Blankfein and other Goldman executives defended the firm even as senators accused them of deceiving their own clients.
"Our clients' trust is not only important to us, it's essential to us," Blankfein told senators Tuesday. "It's why we're a successful firm."
None of the executives present at the hearing ever said they were sorry or regretful for the deals that senators charge tanked the market. But Blankfein said that wasn't coordinated.

Dezmin Lewis could push friend Marquise Goodwin, and 5 things we learned [1:56 AM]
Syracuse Post-Standard reports: 'If Buffalo decides to keep six, Lewis and Goodwin could be the two competing for the final spot. At 6-foot-4, Lewis brings something different to the table than the undersized Goodwin.'
Rex Ryan and Bills in position to take AFC East after Tom Brady suspension [1:55 AM]
New York Daily News reports: 'Ryan's team could easily be 3-1 at the quarter pole, while the Patriots, who will face the Steelers, Bills, Jaguars and Cowboys, might have only one win by the time Brady returns.'
Bills sign Miller, roster at 90 [1:55 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'NFL teams are allowed to bring 90 players to training camp. That list includes active, inactive, practice-squad, exempt, and reserve-list players, as well as unsigned draft choices and franchise free agents.'
Brady suspension gives Bills big early chance [1:54 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'When the schedule came out less than a month ago, the Bills were thought to have maybe the toughest opening two weeks of any team in the league. Jets and Dolphins fans were glad to see their division rival be put in a tough spot. Now, it's a spot they both wish they were in. At least for one game. Because that's what this thing may come down to in the end.'
Brady got what he deserved [1:53 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'As if Bills fans didn't have enough reasons to look forward to the upcoming season, the suspension of Tom Brady just added another layer of intrigue. Bring on training camp!'
Bills sign tryout S Wes Miller [1:52 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'While Miller may lack in size he made up for it with production in his college career at UTEP. The safety led the Miners defense in tackles (74), solo stops (42) and interceptions (two), and was tied for second on the team with six pass breakups last year.'
''Darby - Find the ball!'' [1:51 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"I got to get his mind out of being a defender and make him turn into being a receiver," Coach Henderson said after one of the weekend rookie workouts. "That's one of the things that I noticed. That's one of his weaknesses, so to speak, playing the ball. It's not because it's a weakness, really, it's only a weakness because that's what he's been taught at the college level."'
Miller taking advantage of one-on-one coaching [1:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"Mentally, it's a big thing and a big challenge in this when you come from college to the NFL, especially as an offensive lineman. I think this young man seems to have the aptitude for it and that's going to allow his physical talents to where he can showcase, so we're excited about that."'
Bills tight end Manhertz adjusts to transition game [1:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: "It's a long road, man. It's so different. It's like speaking a different language."'
Rookie minicamp Day 2 sights, sounds, notes [1:58 AM]
WGR-AM reports: After tryout QB Austin Trainor (West Georgia) took every rep yesterday, the Bills needed another arm to help out. So they flew in Brandon Hill (Monmouth). Both looked like they were getting equal reps. Neither seemed to stand out from the other, making some passes and missing others.'
Joe B. Observations: Rookie Minicamp Day 2 [1:57 AM]
WKBW-TV reports: 'Second-round pick Ronald Darby had an up-and-down day in his Bills debut, and that trend continued on the second day of work as well. Darby made his positional coach quite happy by getting his head turned around for the ball more than he had been on the first day.'
Undrafted pass rushers working to seize opportunity [1:56 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'Texas defensive end Cedric Reed (56) was not projected to go undrafted. After a 10-sack junior season and first team All-Big 12 honors, Reed returned for his senior year. A demonstration of toughness, Reed started every game for the Longhorns in 2014, albeit with torn meniscus that required surgery at season's end. His production decreased from his junior season and the recovery from surgery held Reed out for the majority of the physical pre-draft process, devaluing his stock. Finally healthy, the 6-5, 272-pound Reed chose to sign with Buffalo in large part because the team did not select a defensive lineman in the draft.'
Bills' Ryan sets himself apart from predecessors [12:04 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports: 'In his first season as the boss in Buffalo, Ryan, remains the same colorful, outspoken, verbose coach he was in six years with the Jets.'
Syracuse trio trying out for Buffalo Bills a bit 'starstruck' by Rex Ryan [10:03 AM]
Syracuse Post-Standard reports: '"Yeah, I was kind of the same way," Gulley said. "You see this guy on TV, and he comes into the meeting room and you can already see what type of personality he has. I can just see him, he's a great guy. He's laid back, but you can see that he's serious about what he's doing, but he wants us to have fun while doing it."'
Bills get Darby up to speed on the pro game [1:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"His movement is outstanding," Ryan said of the team's second-round draft pick from Florida State. "He can run with probably anybody in this league, so that's no surprise."'
Bills announce prices for individual game tickets [1:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'For gold games, individual ticket prices have gone up $7 -- from $68 to $75 -- for the cheapest tickets from 2014, and $2 for tickets in the most expensive, from $130 to $132.'
Finally, a Bills roster that makes rookies earn it [1:57 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'They came from New Jersey to California, Texas to Minnesota. From Florida State to Utah State, Baylor to Bethune-Cookman.'
Rex Ryan stays clear of 'Deflategate' questions at Buffalo Bills practice [1:56 AM]
Syracuse Post-Standard reports: '"For me to spend any time thinking about it, obviously that's a league issue and I guess when they determine whatever it is, if anything, then maybe I'll have some focus on it," Ryan said. "But right now, my focus is clearly on this football team and trying to get this thing better. Whatever the league comes up with, obviously we'll address when that happens."'
Ronald Darby the center of attention, and 5 observations from Buffalo Bills rookie minicamp [1:55 AM]
Syracuse Post-Standard reports: '"He knows what he's talking about," Darby said. "He wants to coach. He's not the type of coach that will sit back and let you do whatever you want to and try to talk to you later. He wants to fix it right there on the spot and give you a lot details. He helps you a lot."'
Report: Bills, Jets among NFL teams to receive millions of taxpayer dollars to honor veterans [1:54 AM]
Syracuse Post-Standard reports: '$5.3 million was paid by the National Guard alone to 11 NFL teams. A total of 14 NFL teams, including the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets, received money for the program.'
Full roster and 5 things to watch for [1:53 AM]
Syracuse Post-Standard reports: 'If John Miller, the former Louisville guard the Bills drafted in the third round, is going to come in and compete for a starting spot, dominating at rookie camp would be a nice start. While the biggest criticisms of Miller center around his movement skills, he may not be tested in this area until he's lined up against the Bills' dominant interior lineman. At the least, the Bills hope to see the powerful run blocker they drafted look like the strongest guy on the line of scrimmage throughout the weekend.'
Bills' O'Leary seeks to get out of grandpa Nicklaus' shadow [1:52 AM]
AP reports: '"His name will always come up," said O'Leary, who prefers to go by Nick. "And I don't have a problem with that. I love him. He's my grandpa. And he's the greatest golfer who ever lived. I mean, that's just how it's going to be."'
Sights and sounds from Bills rookie minicamp [1:51 AM]
WGR-AM reports: '2nd round pick (the Bills first in the draft) CB Ronald Darby's hips and change of direction are on a clearly different level than anyone else at his position. His speed is obviously exceptional, but it was very noticeable how explosive he is and can get going, even changing directions.'
Bills Announce Individual Game Ticket Pricing [1:50 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'This tiered-pricing system will include four gold games, two silver games, two bronze games and the preseason. Below is a listing of the pricing tier breakdown for the 2015 season, courtesy of the Bills.'
Joe B. Observations: Rookie Minicamp Day 1 [1:49 AM]
WKBW-TV reports: 'Heading into the rookie minicamp, the expectation was that it would be evident that second-round pick Ronald Darby was one of the most talented on the field. Darby did not disappoint in the least bit. You could see how easy he made movement abilities look throughout individual drills.'
Rookie Minicamp: Day 1 [1:48 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"Yeah, that's one of the small lessons that I'm quickly learning," Miller said. "When I was in college we were taught to tuck our hands, so it's kind of hard trying to break that habit. I want to adapt to what coach is teaching. Get your hands out quick so you can control the guy."'
Bills announce 2015 individual-game pricing [1:47 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'Based on remaining availability, the group ticket on-sale date is set for June 19. Individual game tickets are set to go on sale to the public on July 29. Tickets for some games may not be available.'
Bills OT Cyrus Kouandjio looks to rescue young career [1:59 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"Honestly, it was tough," Kouandjio said. "They (the former staff) had to do what they had to do. That's the past, you know? I'm not really worried about that. You can't live in the past."'
Buffalo Bills miss out on LSU OT La'el Collins, who reportedly signed with Dallas Cowboys [1:58 AM]
Syracuse Post-Standard reports: 'The Bills had a bigger need than the Cowboys on the offensive line, but Dallas was able to land the Louisiana native despite Ryan's highly publicized trip to Baton Rouge Monday. Ryan didn't seem interested in answering questions about Collins when asked Wednesday, and now he won't have to answer many more in the future.'
How can Syracuse's Sam Rodgers speak at graduation and try out with Bills on Saturday? [1:57 AM]
Syracuse Post-Standard reports: '"They asked if I had anything going on this weekend," Rodgers said. "I just said, 'Nope. I'm free. I'll be there.' In my head I'm thinking, 'Well, I was supposed to speak at graduation.'"'

Pressy team blames latest shipping delay on manufacturing issues
We hadn't heard much from the Pressy team since back in mid-April. That last status update seemed to be positive, and was reporting how shipments were expected to begin later in the month. To clarify here, the folks at Pressy had expected to begin shipping the "almighty Android button" towards the end of April. Well, April came and went without any reports of shipments.

James Mejia fired back at Chris Romer today, calling out his Denver mayoral race rival over $30,000 in campaign contributions from strip clubs.
Mejia's remarks, which came in a forum sponsored by the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, marked the second time in as many days that the pair squared off.
The exchange was set up by remarks from Councilman Doug Linkhart in a discussion on the proliferation of neighborhood medical marijuana dispensaries. Linkhart said in his neighborhood there were also liquor stores, bars and an all-nude revue cabaret and that he wasn't sure which, if any, of the businesses should be banned.
That prompted Mejia to chime in: "Please don't ban topless bars and all-nude revues because I don't know where else Chris Romer would get his campaign contributions. Thirty-thousand dollars doesn't just grow on trees, ladies and gentlemen."
Among Romer's major campaign contributors is Troy Lowrie, owner of numerous strip clubs in the metro area. Through March, Lowrie had made 10, $3,000 contributions to Romer's campaign from different businesses. He also donated $3,000 to Michael Hancock.
Romer declined to comment after the forum.
In a statement e-mailed this evening he said: "These are legal businesses that operate in Denver. We are running a campaign about the issues that are important to the people of Denver. We are focused on putting people back to work and helping to create a world-class school system for a world-class city."
Lowrie hung up when called for comment Thursday afternoon.
And while the two candidates shared a brief hug at the conclusion of the forum, it was clear Mejia was still annoyed by a Wednesday exchange during a Denver Post/9News debate in which Romer said Mejia had offered multiple answers about his support for school improvement plan in northeast Denver.
"You have to be careful if you decide to come out swinging," Mejia said.
When Romer wasn't taking shots from Mejia, he was hearing it from the crowd gathered for the NORML convention at the Grand Hyatt.
He said that he wasn't "completely on board" with Colorado's medical marijuana industry because of the potential of abuse and addiction in young people.
He said he thinks the age for acquiring a medical marijuana card in Colorado should be raised from 18 to 21.
As Romer cited the case of the teenage child of a very good friend who had become addicted to medical marijuana, many in the audience jeered, some yelling that dependency on pot is impossible.
Romer remained undaunted.
"This is the civil debate I want to have; this is the discussion we have to have," he said. "Are we having an awkward moment now? We need to have this conversation."
Afterwards, a number of attendees made a point of seeking out the former state senator, saying that while they didn't agree with his viewpoint, they respected that he at least broached the subject.
Other candidates said Thursday they had no problem with the city's burgeoning medical marijuana industry, provided safeguards are followed in areas like regulating the quality of the product and making sure underage citizens don't receive access.
"This is an industry that has saved this economy for the last couple of years," Mejia said.
Candidates Jeff Peckman, Theresa Spahn and Thomas Wolf also participated in the forum.

Spider Splicer
Edit Page Last Edit: 2 years 1 month ago
Spider Splicers attack up close and at a distance and they are difficult to defeat because of how agile they are. They attack by either crawling on the walls and ceilings and throwing hooks which can be redirected with the Telekinesis plasmid. They also will jump down and attack you directly with the hooks. To defeat them best to use an ice or electric plasmid to stun them and then attack them as much as possible.

Glam rock star Brian Slade… More At the 1998 Cannes Film Festival, American independent director Todd Haynes (Safe) received the "Artistic Achievement" award for this re-creation of the UK glam rock scene of the early '70s. Glam rock star Brian Slade (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), who does a character named Maxwell Demon, predicts his own death onstage. As per his prediction, this happens, but when the killing is exposed as a hoax, it marks the end of Slade's stardom. A decade later, in 1984, Brit reporter and former Slade fan Arthur Stuart (Christian Bale), who witnesses the hoax murder, gets the assignment to do a "Whatever Happened To..?" article, and the film's plot suddenly goes into a prismatic Citizen Kane mode, reflecting various angles on Slade's life and career. Arthur visits the wheelchair-bound Cecil (Michael Feast), who discovered Slade, and then tracks Slade through his early life and his initial encounter with outrageous, maniacal American singer Curt Wild (Ewan McGregor). Slade's rise begins as manager Jerry Divine (Brit comedian Eddie Izzard) moves in to take over the performer's career. Ex-wife Mandy Slade (Toni Collette), interviewed by Arthur in a dimly lit nightclub, has memories going back to their initial 1969 Sombrero Club encounter. Their marriage paralleled his Bowie-like ascent to fame as an innovative, bisexual rock star pushing the limits. Idolized by teens, Slade teamed up for a while with the drug-addicted Wild. Eventually, the marriage of Mandy and Slade comes to an end, and she hasn't seen him in seven years when she's interviewed by Arthur. The soundtrack features vintage music by Bryan Ferry, Lou Reed and Brian Eno, plus new tunes. Some background on the making of Velvet Goldmine is documented in producer Christine Vachon's book Shooting to Kill: How an Independent Producer Blasts Through the Barriers to Make Movies That Matter (Avon, 1998) by Vachon with Slate film critic David Edelstein. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Haynes' chronicle of the glam era is visually rich but too dramatically fragmented and overwhelmed by music to permit involvement in the tale's characters or the director's POV.Full review…
While some gay men's fantasies center around muscled jocks, cops or cowboys, Todd Haynes' would seem to be of a slightly more arcane bent.Full review…
A bizarre thing, this trippy movie takes you on a whirlwind tour of Brit glam rock and doesn't let go. Graphic and unforgiving, but good.
The style is devilishly flamboyant and gleefully indulgent; every shot is full of amazing stuff. The edits dance and twist. It's a glam movie about a glam subject.Full review…
the ending happens at least half an hour later than it should
Clever, often fascinating look at the world of glam rock.
Velvet Goldmine gives the rock movie a makeover.Full review…
Repeat viewings will allow one to piece together the fragmented montage as a melancholic ode to freedom, and those who fight for it through art.Full review…
Working slightly against it, it's got an elliptical approach that's initially emotionally disorienting, a plot structure that's been a bit too audaciously borrowed from Citizen Kane, of all things, and a rather vacant performance at [its]center.Full review…

If tri got a 8.8
I'd say it's more that gamers (should) expect more from a game now, then back then..... maybe.... so the fact that it does have more makes it even out? I dunno.

If tri got a 8.8
>_> It's a review score.
The score doesn't illustrate the exact improvements made on a game compared to it's predecessor.
Every single aspect of MH3U points to a sign that says "Better than Tri". 8.8 is about as far as the score for this series will go, and honestly, it's pretty generous, since A) the graphics will always evolve very slowly and probably won't look anything like say, Dragon's Dogma for two more generations and B) it will never fully hold the hands of all the whiners by giving the game lightning fast combat with full lock on.
Asking for a 9.5 or a 10 is just ridiculous.
PSN and NNID: CrimsonSamuraiX
What is means is that the game has managed to retain its appeal in the upgrade. So accounting for advances in game design since then, this game managed to be considered as highly. If they reviewed just Tri now, it'd probably have a lower score than it did the first time.

How To Bet a Daily Double
This is the sixth part of seven articles that will cover the essentials to betting on horses. Wagering on horses is one of the most exciting betting opportunities available in the gambling world today. Every where you look offshore they are starting racebooks that give the bettor the option to wager on horses at nearly any track at any time around the globe. To take advantage of this new phenomenon Bang the Book.com has established a series of articles that will chronicle the basics of betting on horses all the way up to the most complicated of wagers. In part six of this series we look at how to bet the Daily Double.
The term Daily Double is one of the most popular terms in horse racing. The term goes back almost as far as horse racing and has always held a popular place in horse racing. Over the years the term has not changed but the way to place a wager on the Daily Double most certainly has. So the first step of understanding the daily double is to find out what exactly it is and how it has changed over the years.
The Daily Double is betting on the horse to win first place in consecutive races. This is handled differently at different race tracks. In most cases and its original format was to pick the winner of the first two races and that would be part of the daily double. Other race tracks will allow the daily double wagering on the last two races of the day ending with a bang and the most sought after win on the day. Finally and recently some race tracks offer what is called the rolling daily double. The rolling daily double allows the bettor to place a daily double type wager on any two races. The goal is still the same with trying to correctly select the winners of back to back races. The Daily Double may be the oldest exotic wager dating back to 1930 but it also has different ways to place the wager and the cost will vary depending on the wager.
The daily double is a one dollar ticket and like other exotic wagering can be placed in a variety of ways, like the wheel. The wheel and the box have been covered extensively in this series but for the purpose of the daily double it will be briefly covered one more time. The wheel allows the bettor to key in on one horse to win one race and then allow additional horses to be added as a potential winner for the second race. The bettor would have to wager the full normal $2 on the ticket to receive the full prize for the daily double. The daily double does offer something that is unique to other exotic wagers, the chance to hedge your bet.
In a daily double the bettor is looking to get the winner of two races. After the first race if the bettor had the winner in race one it allows them room to hedge the second bet on the next race and minimize losses. This is unique because it is something that other wagers do not allow since they are mainly just focused on one race and not any more. This is just the beginning of wagering on horses and to truly appreciate the daily double wager it is important to get to a track online and start placing them. Many reputable race tracks like Bookmaker.EU, offer the daily double.
This article in the series covered the daily double wagering option. The article touched on the rich history of the daily double and how it is still recognized as one of the most popular wagers today. Its focus was how to wager on the daily double and how it has changed throughout the years. It finished with the discussion of the hedge bet and how it can be used to minimize the damages and lead to a great day at the track!
Now that you are familiar with Daily Double betting the last part of the series will cover Pick 3, Win 4, and Pick 6 betting!
Next: Part 7— Pick 3, Win 4, and Pick 6 Betting.

France's true techno hero and always unpredictable über-DJ Laurent Garnier reveals the breathtaking story of his career. Flashback!
Ask a teenage music fan in Manchester, Cologne or Chicago, to name the most famous artist on the current French music scene and you'll get the unanimous response: _(artist-name)Laurent Garnier_! House - the vibrant mix of black dance music and pop which was invented in Chicago in the early 80s - was taking Manchester by storm and Frenchman Laurent Garnier found himself in the very eye of that storm at exactly the right time. A former silver service waiter at the embassy in London, he started hanging round the Hacienda during the late 80s and managed to land his big break DJing there. The following decade made him one of the best all-around DJs in the world, able to span classic deep house and Detroit techno, the harder side of acid/trance. In the early nineties he added production work to his schedule as well, recording a number of studio albums, and has been juggling this with his globetrotting DJ commitments ever since. Oh, the life of a world-renowned composer, producer and wizard remixer!

Let's talk about spills. The fact is, spills happen. If you have kids or pets, spills may be a daily occurrence. Wouldn't it be nice if you could just take out the floor and spray it down? Maybe beat some of the dust out with a stick? With a complete set of floor mats you can. And your truck's floors will thank you for it.
In this day and age having a floor mat is almost a requirement of owning a vehicle. The factory floor upholstery is just not equipped to handle the abuse of everyday vehicle use. Having that barrier between the crud on the bottom of your shoes and your vehicle's floor is what's going to keep your investment protected and ensure that it will retain as much value as possible. The protection is extended even further when you get a custom-fit floor mat because a great deal more of the upholstery is covered by the additional side barriers and fitted edges.
We have a variety of options for you, from standard universal mats to custom-fit mats made just for the type of vehicle you drive. Save money with our low prices, save your floors from stains, and enjoy our free shipping within the contiguous United States all day, every day!
You can get the perfect mat for almost any type of situation. Check out the various options below:
Custom Molded Floor Mats And Liners: These are custom fit for your vehicle. They're easy to install and offer the best fit of all the floor liners you'll find. Available in a number of styles from top manufacturers, this is the way to go if you're looking for an optimal fit and coverage.
All Weather Floor Mats: If you live in wet or snowy areas, then all weather liners are a good option. Here, you'll find all of our options for rubber and vinyl mats, which offer superior waterproof protection and durability to withstand getting stomped day in and day out. Versatile and long-lasting, these are among our most popular floor liners.
Carpet Floor Mats: If you're looking for maximum protection, but with a softer feel, than carpet floor liners are what you're looking for. Available in custom and universal fits, there are over 20 models from which to choose. Carpet floor mats are perfect for keeping your floors clean without having to sacrifice comfort.
Cargo Liners: Anyone who has ever had something break or spill open in their truck bed should know what a lifesaver cargo liners can be. As the name implies, cargo liners slide into the cargo area of your car or van, giving your truck the same kind of protection that floor liners provide your interior.
Protect your vehicle's floors from life's little mishaps with a floor mat or floor liner from RealTruck. Spilled food, chemical spills, greasy equipment, coffee stains, and muddy footwear are just a handful of things you need to worry about when it comes to tarnishing your factory installed carpets. Get the edge with a set of floor mats and you'll be able to keep your floors protected in style.
RealTruck Customer Service
When it comes to floor mats, there is a lot of information out there. If you would like some help selecting a floor mat or placing an order, don't hesitate to call our Customer Service Team at 877-216-5446. You can also check out our floor mat research guides above for more information.

and Andrei will be pwnd
Strikeforce has announced, former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei "The Pitbull" Arlovski will take on Brett "The Grim" Rogers at Strikeforce's June 6th show in St. Louis.
The announcement was made earlier today at a press conference for Strikeforce "Lawler vs. Shields" show in St. Louis.
Arlovski (15-6), will look to get back to action after getting knocked out by pound-for-pound heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko at the Affliction 2 card early this year.
Rogers (9-0) gained notoriety for his impressive wins in EliteXC and for calling out Kimbo Slice at the EliteXC "Primetime" press conference last year. This fight will certainly test Rogers, who has not fought a top 10 contender thus far in his MMA career.
For the latest on Strikeforce "Lawler vs. Shields", check out our MMA Rumors section.
and Andrei will be pwnd
Rogers has beat nobody plain and simple so im not exactly sold on him. i think he's good but i dont think he will take arlovski. its too huge of a step for him right now. they should ahve given him ben rothwell or something.
Arlovski KO rnd 2
i agree dane, rogers knocking out james 'glass jaw' thompson doesn't exactly impress too much. but i think this could be a good fight but arlovski should take it.
tuck your chin arloski!!! Aim for his chin bret.
i think aa takes it by tko
probably the ONLY, but most important, weakness in AA's game is his GLASS JAW. it's so sad when a fighter is so talented, but has a weak chin. on the ground, AA would rock. but i am confident that both fighters will keep this standing. i am not impressed with rogers, but more impressed with him than i am with kimbo. i am still rooting for AA. if rogers wins, watch him get the title shot against FEDOR!!!
Yeah its sad but AA does kind of have a glass jaw. Even though it was Fedor that Ko'd him I think it's suspect now. I still think he will be too much for Rogers in this matchup.
ya cuz nobody else has been knocked out by fedor lol. jk but seriously getting knocked out by the people arlovski has been knocked out doesnt really mean he has a glass jaw. just not an iron one.
Only way Rogers is pulling this off is if he has supreme power in his hands that I havent really noticed. AA is gonna wreck him with his technique. Arlovskis chin might not be rock solid but he can avoid being hit flush and I think he can outclass Rogers pretty easy. Dont get me wrong though I want to see this fight. A badass stand up war is what you can expect from these two.
AA should win but Rogers is a very good fighter, For sure AA is his hardest test but Roger has never been stopped and Knocks out all of his guys really fast i think he has only been out of the first round a couple times..
AA chin is what makes this a hard fight to call if you ask me..
Cheick Kongo replaces Heath Herring at Germany's UFC 99 event..
I think Cheick Kongo like the same kind of fight, well idk Heart is Bigger then Kongo and Better on the ground but i really hope Cheick will knock out cain
Glad to see AA back in action after his painful defeat against Fedor. We'll see how that last fight effected him, but I have a feeling he'll be back to the form that gave most the idea he was the next best Heavy in the world.
Even thought I think anyone would have been KO'ed by Fedor's right to the jaw that night, those kinds of punches tend to raise the likelyhood of it happening again. We'll see!
I want to see AA vs Fedor so bad.. We all know AA way taking it to Fador..AA stopped the takedown and Was landing Harder and more punches then Fador did, Fador just got the one Lucky overhand and knock AA out , AA was about to knock Fador out but just got Cought
Arlovski will destroy Rogers!
i agree with dane aa might not have a granite chin but its not a glass jaw either, i saw him take some big shots from rothwell and keep going.and come on tom aa was about to ko fedor? i dout it and fedor really never tried taking it to the ground and there was nothing lucky about that punch.aa was doing good though.
Actually AA tried to take Fedor down but Fedor stuffed it. AA was the better technical striker scoring points with punches and kicks. This isn't K1. Fedor cleaned his clock with speed and power and there was nothing lucky about it. AA is a very good fighter and will most certainly beat rogers. I would look to see AA test rogers chin instead of the other way around. Rogers hasn't faced anyone like AA. I'm not sure Rogers has the technique and skill to land power punches on AA without AA catching him first.
AA was doing great against Fedor. i mean good footwork utilizing his jab keeping his range. Arlovski made a mistake and got overconfident. If he kept his composure he could have wore out fedor. But I do agree his chin is shit!
fedor is 30-1 when will people stop putting fedor and the word luck in the same sentence. You dont beat like 5 ufc heavyweight champs with luck open ur eyes people.
Dane.. When Jesus rises from the dead for a comeback and Fedor armbars him at 2:12 of the first round in the finals of a tournament match were he beat Joe Louis, Hulk Hogan, Rikki Lake, Ghandi and Godzilla in one night blindfolded with one arm tied to his leg in Valhalla. Can't wait till the tickets go on sale. Fedor=Respect. He doesn't need it given to him by anyone.
jesus doesnt tap
cant wait till fedor loses
Affliction's third event takes place Aug. 1, Emelianko vs. Barnett headlines
ALso matt rown was hurt and out of TUFA 9 FINALS
Fedor is not going lose. It is OK if you dislike someone… I never liked Matt Hughes, even when he was on beating the crap out of everyone in the division but nonetheless, I was able to put that aside and admit he was a bad ass. The same thing here. Fedor has beat everyone (except for 1 loss that should not have been a loss but a DQ) and a lot of people don't give him credit. Sure he has been given some tomato cans but so has everyone else. He has also beat the best of the best including 4 former UFC Champs AA, Tim, Nog, Coleman. only 6 of his 30 wins were by decision – he ends fights by knockout or submission. If you don't like hime, cool…but facts are facts. if were to ever sign with the UFC, he would wipe out the division…Kongo, Mir, Lesnar, Cain…they would all lose.

SANDUSKY, Ohio – The rides and roller coasters of Cedar Point were aglow with Christmas lights of a different kind this past weekend. On Saturday night, United Airlines held their annual Fantasy Flight, a charitable event where local children with life threatening illnesses and their families board a plane from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and fly to the "North Pole."
Along the flight, the children and their families were treated to a flyby of downtown Cleveland and Cedar Point before returning back to the airport and arriving at a gate decorated as Santa's Winter Wonderland. Throughout the year Cedar Point actively participates in numerous charitable events and fundraisers.
Over the past two years, Cedar Point and its guests have helped raise more than $650,000 for charities such as the American Red Cross, United Way, Cleveland Clinic Children's and the Arthritis Foundation. In addition, the park has donated nearly $1,000,000 worth of tickets to organizations such as The Arc of Ohio, Give Kids The World and others.

Video produced by Jason Domantay and Janie Octia of Yahoo! Southeast Asia.
A month ago, Filipino maids in Singapore were criticized for their 'Gulong gulong park' party in Singapore.
Every Sunday, Filipino maids gather to relax and socialize in the front area of the Ion Orchard Mall. They refer to the place as "Gulong Park." Right in front of it are stores showcasing high-end international brands. Some mall employees and shoppers complain that the presence of Filipino maids and workers lessen the prestige of the mall. There are also those who don't mind it at all.
Filipino workers also speak out about how foreigners—as well as an "unexpected" group of people—react to their weekly gathering.

I have a love/hate r'ship with the Discworld books.
I enjoy every encounter I have with Rincewind, the Luggage, and the Librarian.
Carrot is mildly interesting
Bits of concepts throughout the series are clever.
Pretty much the rest of the characters, and books, annoy and/or frustrate me.
Small Gods is the thirteenth Discworld book, but it stands alone and can be read independently. Pretty much the only reoccurring character to make an appearance is Death, since Small Gods is set before the events in the other novels.
Brutha is a simple novice hoeing melons when his god Om speaks to him in the form of a tortoise, a form he's been stuck in for three years. You see, on the Discworld, gods are created when people believe in them, and no one really believes in Om. They believe in the artifice – the buildings, the ritual, and the Quisition – but nobody believes in Om himself, except for Brutha.
Small Gods is rather obviously a satirical take on religion, but it manages to satirize without ever being mean spirited, a real accomplishment. Small Gods is also one of the deepest Discworld novels. Here, Pratchett has a lot to say on the nature of belief and humanity.
The story centers around Brutha and Om, and the two characters work very well together. Over the course of the book, they both come to grow and change, learning more about the world.
"Om began to feel the acute depression that steals over every realist in the presence of an optimist."
Small Gods is also one of the darker Discworld books. While still hilariously funny, this is a book that contains the Quisition, torturers who "purify" the unfaithful. The main villain, Vorbis, head of the Quisition, is undoubtedly evil, but what makes him frightening is how he shapes the people around him.
All in all, Small Gods is an excellent book. I know many people consider it to be the best Discworld novel, and I can't say they're wrong. I highly recommend it.
Originally posted on the The Illustrated Page.
Brutha is a novice who works in the garden and is happy to provide melons for the monks who work at the temple, and is also happy enough to stay away from Vorbis, the head Inquisitor and his followers, until the day he somehow comes into Vorbis's notice. He has no idea how this can be and is sure he's in for terrible torture and a very painful death. He doesn't know how to read or write, so what else could Vorbis want with him? But it so happens Brutha has an incredible memory and can't forget a thing, and Vorbis does indeed intend to make good use of him for political purposes. Meanwhile, the Great God Om has appeared to Brutha in the garden in the form of a small turtle who seems to be able to speak only to Brutha, for nobody else can hear him. But how is this possible? Om the Great, Om the Almighty, in whose name Vorbis and the Quisition have been taking countless lives... in the form of a basically powerless turtle?!
My fist journey into Terry Pratchett's Discworld is a great parody on certain forms of organised religion, the Inquisition and religious wars, and made for a terribly enjoyable read. I'm not sure all the Discworld books will be to my liking, but it certainly makes me want to discover others and I'll definitely want to return to this one— adding it to my pile of favourites of the year!
...There will no doubt be an awful lot of readers who won't like this book, simply because Pratchett's humour doesn't spare anyone. For readers familiar with Discworld that will hardly be a problem. What Pratchett does in this novel is not so much attack religion (or science or philosophy), but rather make fun of closed minded people, wherever they may be found. It's human stupidity and short-sightedness that angered Pratchett according to Gaiman. Whatever Pratchett's exact feeling on the subject of religion and the way it expresses itself in society, he channeled them into a book that is both hilarious and possesses great depth. It will leave the reader mulling over the ideas he put into the text long after the last page has been turned. Small Gods is one of the better Discworld novels I've read so far.
Full Random Comments
I registered a book at BookCrossing.com!
The problem with Small Gods is that its plot is complicated without being especially deft, and many tiny scenes exist solely to move stage scenery. Since a fair number of Pratchett's jokes recur from one book to the next, and many of the jokes in this novel are of the running or repeating variety (virtually every character, seeing Om as a tortoise, remarks, "There's good eating on one of those things"), the reader can end up looking for the good lines, like a partygoer digging through a dish of peanuts for the odd cashew.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0061092177, Mass Market Paperback)Discworld is an extragavanza--among much else, it has billions of gods. "They swarm as thick as herring roe," writes Terry Pratchett in Small Gods, the 13th book in the series. Where there are gods galore, there are priests, high and low, and... there are novices. Brutha is a novice with little chance to become a priest--thinking does not come easily to him, although believing does. But it is to Brutha that the great god Om manifests, in the lowly form of a tortoise. --Blaise Selby
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:48:42 -0400)
Brutha is a novice who is content with growing melons for the temple monks until the great god, Om, manifests himself in the form of a tortoise and announces that Brutha is to become the chosen one.

Young Children Are Skilled Negotiators
Young children are skilled negotiators when it comes to relationships and the content of play, reveals a thesis from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
The thesis examines what children negotiate over, how they negotiate and the strategies they use. The results show that young children are skilled negotiators.
Torgeir Alvestad has looked into how young children learn, through play, which negotiation strategies are appropriate and which aren't.
Purpose of negotiations
Children use different strategies to agree during play. Through their choices, they learn how they can change what has been agreed for play.
The study looked at children aged two and three. In their negotiations they demonstrated invention, creativity, enthusiasm, industry, involvement, activity and problem-solving strategies.
The results show that children's negotiations form part of their play, and that these negotiations have a clear purpose: to agree on both how they can be together in their play and the content of their play.
Do not intervene
"A pedagogical consequence of the results is that adults shouldn't intervene too early in children's negotiations," says Alvestad. "Just give the children time! Negotiations fit in well with the curriculum's talk of children's participation. The fact that children work towards the best solution also ties in well with the idea of democracy in preschool.
"What's more, adults shouldn't intervene thinking that there's a conflict between the children, as it is frequently a negotiation that's happening, which requires a different approach."
Agreement or disagreement
The results of the study show that young children's negotiations during play vary, depending on whether the negotiations originate in agreement or disagreement. In negotiations that stem from agreement "" in other words the children are agreed that they will share their play "" the play features efforts by the children to understand their friends' perspective as well as playful development of the imagination. However, negotiations arising from disagreement involve play that is more about power, domination and manipulation.

Taylored Expressions April Release Day!
WooHoo! All of the new products for April are now available at Taylored Expressions! Today I have another sample featuring Simply Stamped – Zinnias. This time I kept it super simple and didn't even use the dies.
The colors for my blooms today are SU Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush, and Real Red. It's looking a little orange-y in the photo, but it's a beautiful pink-y/red IRL! I cut my image with TE Label Stacklets 2 and the background was created with the Leafy Vine Embossing Folder. I am currently addicted to brayering ink inside these folders before running them through the Big Shot. It just gives that extra little punch of subtle dimension!
To see a plethora of adorable samples of all the new stamps and dies, hop over to the Taylored Expressions Blog for the Baker's Dozen blog roll of players today! Happy hopping and happy shopping!

You need to start at a University of Iowa Libraries web page in order to be validated through the proxy server.
If you are using health sciences resources, start at the Hardin Library page: www.lib.uiowa.edu/hardin
Once you select a resource, you will be prompted to authenticate with your hawk id and password. After entering this information, you should gain full access to the resource. If you experience problems with using your hawk id and password, visit: http://hawkid.uiowa.edu/
It is possible that a firewall may obstruct access to resources. If you are continuing to have difficulty with access after following above directions, try this:
The yellow infolink button should be visible from databases accessed from a library page. Select it to find out if full text available in electronic format.
If available, select the GO to visit publisher page for PDF or HTML full text
View this 3 minute demonstration about how to use the InfoLink button from CINAHL and PubMed.
Sometimes, even when you do everything correctly, you still may encounter a problem accessing electronic resources. Here are some tips:
UI Libraries subscribes to resources based on how many people we anticipate may be simultanously using material. If you receive an error message that indicates that all user seats are occupied, try again later. If the problem continues, please notify us.
If the InfoLink tool indicates that full text is available but you are not taken directly to it, be aware that sometimes you may be directed to a publisher page that requires you to navigate to the correct volume and issue. If you encounter problems, contact any librarian.
Here is a page that details several other known issues and workarounds for problems that may occur.
You can use the interlibrary loan system to have our staff either scan/send copy of journal that we have in print or to obtain from another library. Either way, materials will be your university email after registetering for the system. Using this service is free and unlimited for those affiliated (UI or UHIC).
