Breakaway Vocalizer
Demotrack of the breakaway vocalizer, all sounds from the vocalizer, some reverb and delay
The vocalizer has a pitch to midi converter build inside
It contains 74 sounds wich can be expanded by extra cartridges (mine has the new age cartridge)
The soundchip inside is the same as the Ensoniq ESQ-1 synthesizer.
This machine can be controlled by midi but is also has an external input.
In this demo i fed all kinds of things into the input like a radio, a mic, a drumcomputer and multitracked it.
The results can be somewhat unpredictable wich is good for experimental music.

Tutorial: How To Use Reaper's "ReaComp" Compressor Plugin
ReaComp is REAPER's compression effect. In this quick tip Ken Theriot uses ReaComp on a vocal track and demonstrates how to make the most of it.
Tutorial: Wave Arts "Dialog" – Introduction to vocal processing
Jonas "Missing Identity" Hagenvald explains the new plugin "Dialog" from Wave Arts and enhances a vocal from the singer Lulablue.
Dialog combines in one plug-in all the processing needed to clean up, adjust, and sweeten recordings of the spoken voice. It is perfect for voice-over, film/tv recordings on location or sound stage, and broadcast.
Dialog includes brickwall filters, de-hum and de-buzz processing, broadband noise reduction, de-ploding, de-essing, 10-band equalization, compression, and limiting. Separate presets for each section allow you to get results fast.
The brickwall filters have variable rolloff slopes and can be used to cutoff low or high frequency ranges. The de-hum processor uses notch filters to eliminate 10 harmonics of either 50 Hz or 60 Hz hum. The de-buzz processor squelches nasty line frequency buzzes. The de-noise processor is the stellar sounding MR Noise algorithm with a simplified interface. De-plode and de-ess are custom processors; use de-plode to tame plosive sounds and use de-ess to adjust the amount of sibiliants. The EQ section is the powerful and easy to use TrackPlug equalizer, with 10 bands of equalization, 11 different filter types to choose from, and a variety of presets. The compressor is the TrackPlug Vintage compressor, with presets tailored to voice processing.

Sure, they both offered Romney-style policy ideas like cutting anti-poverty programs (Ryan) and school
vouchers privatization (Rubio). Making the wealthy pay more taxes? Forget about it. But they tried to convey that they'd pass these terrible policies with love and compassion and understanding for the poor, working-class, and middle-class people the policies would hurt.
"We must speak to the aspirations and anxieties of every American," Ryan said. And "In most cases, we're still trying to measure compassion by how much we spend—not by how many people we help." Also, "poverty." In fact, Ryan said "poverty" 15 times, so he must really really really care.
Rubio was not to be outdone in the caring about people department, especially when it comes to immigrants like his parents. Except for the part where he opposes immigration reform that would give people from places other than Cuba the opportunities his parents had. But "One of the fundamental promises of America is the opportunity to make it to the middle class," people, and don't you worry your pretty little heads about what Rubio would or would not do to actually expand that opportunity. The point is, he cares.
In addition to all that caring and concern for the little people, Ryan and Rubio showed off the comedy chops that will have us all busting a gut throughout the 2016 primary process:
"I'll see you at the reunion dinner, table for two. You know any good diners in New Hampshire or Iowa?" Ryan joked to Rubio during his speech. "I'm sure the press won't read too much into that."Har har har. Can you even stand it? No? Me neither.
Rubio shot back later with a smile, saying that he appreciated the offer, but "will not stand by and watch the people of South Carolina ignored."

Metabolism is a constant process in our bodies that begins before we are born and ends when we die. It is a complicated series of chemical reactions in the body's cells that converts the fuel from the food we eat into the energy our bodies need.
The metabolic rate is the amount of energy your body burns each day.
The following tips will help to keep your metabolism revving at its maximum.
- Always eat breakfast. After you have been without food overnight your body needs more fuel to function efficiently. If you deny it, it assumes you're in a famine and your metabolism slows down to compensate.
- Never skip meals. Your body needs regular injections of the correct types of foods at regular intervals to support your metabolism and keep it revving at top speed.
- Drink plenty of water. Your metabolism needs plenty of water to function properly.
- Do some exercise daily. We are made to have some physical activity every day. This pushes our metabolism way up. Look for more ways to be active. Park a little further away. Use the stairs instead of the lift. Remember, every step counts!
- When possible, do some exercise before breakfast. This will boost your metabolism and it will stay up for several hours.
- Do not use diet pills or commercial weightloss shakes
- Have fun with your kids or other family members and friends. The happier you are, the easier it is to lose weight.
It's great to be back with you and Kath & I will bring you all our news on Nutrition, Healthy Eating and Weight Loss

Reviews for Scored Potatoes
Sort By :
"I really enjoyed this easy recipe & will make these again. I love any type of potatoes & I always like finding new ideas. Although the taste & idea is nothing to blow anyone away, I love the way these present. When they came out of the oven, they looked just like the picture. I definitely adjusted a few things & would have to even more next time...First, the bake time is way off. I baked these 10-15 minutes longer & most of my potatoes were still pretty hard. I would bake these about 1 1/2 hours. I used much more butter (& would use even more next time), garlic salt, fresh rosemary & thyme, pepper & grated parm cheese. I used a fair amount of each of these & will use even more garlic salt & parm cheese next time. If you have some guests over, this is a great side dish. As another reviewer said, they can get any amount they want & you could even season each potato half different for different tastes."
"Made according to directions and found them very dry and flavorless. Would not use this recipe again"
"I made this last night for the first time and my family loved them.. The favor was great. I did not have any leftovers!!"
"I love this recipe but use Olive Oil. My original recipe was called Hasselback Potatoes. They were scrubbed, left whole and sliced many times from the top almost to the bottom. That allowed OO and seasonings to really sink in and they baked up more crispy. If you cannot easily slice or score them raw, I found that nuking them for 2-3 minutes helps soften, then finish in the oven. Another method to do this is using olive oil, 1/2 to 1 envelop of french onion or similar soup mix, coat in ziploc and let set a bit, then bake in casserole dish until nicely golden and tender. The olive oil coats better and prevent drying out. Thanks for recipe!"
"My teenage daughter loves potatoes of any kind and I was looking for a lower fat alternative to loaded baked potatoes. This was it. My daughter, husband, and I all liked it. I even bought more potatoes so I could make it again."

While city-wide clothing swaps are lots of fun (we are definitely huge fans!), it can also be fun to invite a few friends over to your house or apartment and have your own low-key swap. As Julia (check our her fantastic blog, Jeeze, Julia!) points out in today's blog, hosting a swap is a great, low-budget way to get new clothes, have a party and donate to Goodwill – what a trifecta! Have you hosted a swap? How did you organize it? Julia shares some great tips on how to organize your own swap – if you do, let us know and pass along any pictures!
I'm a huge fan of clothing swaps like SWAPmaine (Let's be honest, who isn't?)
City-wide swaps are big fun and offer much more than just the chance to redo part of your wardrobe. But, in between these large swapping events you may feel the need to purge some of your current wears in favor of a fresh look. When your budget doesn't allow for a shopping trip, but you're feeling as though it is necessary, then, my friend, it is time for you to host an at-home swap.
I was a little intimidated when I was first chosen by ModCloth.com and Swap.com to host a small-scale swap in my home, but when all was said and done, I was beaming with happiness at my new finds and at the excitement I felt for the treasures my guests took home. I cleaned out my closet, got to fill in the blank spaces with fun new pieces, and the swap also gave me an excuse to spend time with some lovely ladies that I otherwise might not have! Plus, as a group we were able to donate four huge bags full of extra clothing and shoes to our very favourite nonprofit: Goodwill Industries of Northern New England.
So now I've convinced you, right? Are you wondering if you can pull off an at-home swap? You can. And to make it easier on you, here are some things that really helped me:
I hope this advice inspires you to host your first (or next!) at-home clothing swap. I had so much fun with mine that I am suddenly tempted to go through my closet in search of more pieces that I'm ready to part with! However, it is about time to start saving for SWAPmaine!
See you there?
Updated 3 months ago by Kimberly Curry
Why buy something new when you can SWAP! We believe in SWAP wholeheartedly here at Goodwill NNE.
Giving new life to Goodwill finds extends the life of the item and makes for a sustainable choice. Not only will you be saving money, but you will be saving our planet by diverting products from landfills.
Sustainability starts with a shirt. Goodwill calls it shirt economics. Shirt donations create jobs, and shirt sales sustain the working community.

Written by Manny Sandhu, Microsoft Premier Field Engineer
Outages are something that we never want to have happen, but they do, and when they occur how ready are you to deal with the repercussions?
In most cases, it isn't the technical skill of personnel which determines the success (or duration) of the outage. How confident are you that you or your staff can recover? Little things add up and in the case of a disaster, minutes can seem like hours. Do you know where the latest backup is located? Do you know the prerequisites to recover? How long does it take to restore? Do you need to involve other teams for recovery?
A very important question to ask is how much does an outage cost? The true cost of a disaster will vary based on various factors:
What classifies as a disaster? I've visited many different companies over my years and asked the question 'what is a disaster?' I always receive different answers. The definition of a disaster varies from company to company, however some common causes of disasters are:
In my experience, 95% of disasters fall under the Human Error category, while the majority of the remaining occurences fall into the hardware/software category. Some very simple steps can be taken to minimize the risk.
In the event of a disaster, communication to the business is vital. Communications should include:
A disaster recovery plan for each technology is a must for businesses of any size. A technology specific Disaster Recovery plan should be part of a larger disaster recovery and business continuity plan. This plan should be thorough enough for any member of the IT staff to follow, and tested periodically to keep the information fresh and updated after every major product release.

There's not a household name among them…but each represents the different gears driving music careers now…It's a sign that industry shifts are accelerating the life cycle of young artists. Three out of the five nominees were tapped for just their second release, including the one narrowly favored to win, Mumford & Sons. That follows three years in a row in which the best-album Grammy was taken by acts on their second or third release…That's the longest winning streak by early-career acts in the 54-year history of the Grammys. This suggests that Grammy voters are more open to honoring relative newcomers over lifers for the flagship award. For an organization that's been derided as the "Grannies," that's a significant course correction. Or an overcorrection, some argue. Veterans who many industry insiders considered strong contenders for best-album nominations—Dr. John, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen—were relegated to the genre categories of blues, Americana and rock. Other legends with new albums in 2012, including Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Lionel Richie, were shut out of the nominations completely."

Love the Abigail Washburn headline…. :)
I totally disagree with the choice of "As Soon As I Hang Up The Phone" to be a prime example of a Conway and Loretta heartbreak song! I would have chosen "You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly" instead by a country mile! (lol)
That Kacey Musgraves interview was a good read. Time will tell if Kacey garners the success her songwriting talent seems to deserve.
I wonder if Mindy was given the choice of rehab or jail time? Hmm…
Agreed, Arlene!:)
Is Mike Henderson of the Steel Drivers (or not of the Steel Drivers) the same guy who had that "Country Music Made Me Do It" album in the '90s–with the "Hillbilly Jitters" and those songs later covered by Travis Tritt?
It doesn't get any better than that!
He is, Lucky. He also has a solo album called "Edge of Night" and a couple of blues albums under Mike Henderson and the Bluebloods, all of which came out on Dead Reckoning Records. They're all worth picking up if you ever find them.

We used to like coming here with our dog and toddler son but it seems to have really gone downhill. Went in for Sunday Lunch on Father's day and it was surprisingly quiet. Food was unappetising, bland and too salty. Sorry but we won't be coming back in a hurry (although it does seem to be the only Islington gastopub you can get into for Sunday lunch at short notice - now we know why!).

Project to turn women 'sari-sari' store owners into better entrepreneurs
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—A program to transform women "sari-sari" store owners into better entrepreneurs was launched recently in Naga City as part of a worldwide campaign for the economic empowerment of five million women by the end of year 2020.
A joint project of Coca-Cola Philippines and Hapinoy MicroVentures Foundation, the Sari-Sari Store Training and Access to Resources (STAR) Program, dubbed locally as the Coke-Hapinoy STAR Program, intends to benefit 1,000 women sari-sari store owners and operators.
Under the program's memoramdum of agreement, Hapinoy MicroVentures Foundation uses business models to help women sustain their sari-sari (corner) store operations through the provision of basic entrepreneurship training, facilitation of access to business resources and peer mentoring support.
Coca-Cola Philippines, in a press statement, cited studies showing that, when women are given the opportunity to earn an income, they can become powerful agents to breaking poverty cycles in the communities because women tend to reinvest their income to the education, health and welfare of their families.
The STAR Program in the Philippines is part of The Coca-Cola Company's global 5by20 Program in which the Company made a commitment to enable the economic empowerment of 5 million women by the year 2020.
''The partnership with Hapinoy is another milestone for the STAR Program. Partnership with civil society groups, government organizations and the women beneficiaries is very important to ensure the success of the program. More partners mean that we will be able to empower more women who are already pillars of our business and the communities we proudly serve," said Gilda Custodio-Maquilan, Coca-Cola sustainability manager and STAR Program lead.
So far, the program has touched the lives of more than 10,000 women sari-sari store owners and operators in two cities—Manila and Pasay City— and nine provinces—Pampanga, Bulacan, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Palawan, Negros Occidental, Cebu, Misamis Oriental and Davao. The program will be expanded to cover 22 cities and provinces nationwide by the end of the year. The STAR Program will aim to reach 100,000 women sari-sari store owners and operators by the year 2020.
Hapinoy MVF executive director Timothy John Agulto said: ''Infused by the shared vision of empowered and abundant micro-entrepreneur women, Hapinoy is thankful for Coca-Cola's trust in Hapinoy's deep understanding of the sari-sari store's context and its progressive socioeconomic development methodologies, through the STAR Program which will be implemented by Hapinoy in Camarines Sur this 2013. We hope that this corporate-social business partnership model between Coca-Cola and Hapinoy, continues to reach more women micro-entrepreneurs in the future."
Adel A. Tamano, Coca-Cola Philippines vice president for public affairs and communications, said enabling the economic empowerment of women through 5by20 Programs, like the Coke-Hapinoy STAR Program, is part of the Coca-Cola global sustainability framework called "Me, We, World."

1. The WSM Constitution's core point of unity number 7 states:
"We actively oppose all manifestations of prejudice within the workers' movement and society in general and we work alongside those struggling against racism, sexism, [religious] sectarianism and homophobia as a priority. We see the success of a revolution and the successful elimination of these oppressions after the revolution being determined by the building of such struggles in the pre-revolutionary period. The methods of struggle that we promote are a preparation for the running of society along anarchist and communist lines after the revolution."
The 2014 Dublin anarchist bookfair hosted a panel of women activists who informed us about how they became involved in the movement, what drew them into this life of campaigning for social justice, rights and attempting to change the world in which we live. They inform us of how they remain motivated, inspired and sustained in active political life.
My Life in Activism : Women speak at 2014 Dublin Anarchist Bookfair - Audio by Workers Solidarity on Mixcloud
Over the last couple of years the WSM has been going through a process of re-examining the way we relate to people interested in what we have to say. Alongside this we have recently begun to try and get a better understanding of what it is we do. Both these processes have some major implications in reaching an understanding of what the usefulness of a revolutionary organisation is in the modern era of broad and loose social networks.
Tear gas is a very good place to start trying to understand what is happening in Turkey. The main purpose of tear gas is to terrorise and thus break up large crowds of people. In Istanbul over the last weeks huge quantities have been used over and over to prevent large anti-government demonstrations developing. This wasn't about 'riot control' - generally there was no riot to control. In this piece I'm going to put the Gezi park revolt in the context of the cycle of struggles that began in 2010 and of the specific economic, politcal and historical situation of the Turkish republic to try and draw out the lessons for all of us fighting global capitalism.
We don't live in a socialist world. In fact never before has capitalism exercised such total hegemony. Despite huge disaffection with austerity and global capitalism, for billions of people the world over, an alternative is impossible to imagine. One of the key tasks of the left then, is not just to oppose attacks on the living conditions of working class people, but to provide an alternative vision of a society where we do not exist to serve the economy, but rather the economy exists to serve us, a society where the slogan "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs" becomes a reality.
The Occupy movement may have come into our lives just over a year ago with a bang but it went out months later with a whimper. Cathal Larkin uses the benefit of hindsight to look at the phenomenon as it manifested itself on these shores and what anarchists could have done to make it work better. The difficulties as Cathal argues did not lie in making arguments for democracy has been the case in so many other campaigns but in that the occupiers "didn't see this conception extending to the realm of economic production" and in developing the 99%/1% analysis into a deeper class analysis. Recognising problems with current modes of consciousness raising, he utilises Paulo Freire's pedagogical framework in an attempt to subject "our own political strategies, methodologies and theories to critical scrutiny".
The Social Solidarity Network came into existence in the Autumn of 2009 in Dublin as an initiative of the Workers Solidarity Movement. It faded out of existence a few short months later and never amounted to all that much in the interim beyond a couple of meetings, a leaflet distribution at a mass ICTU march and a badly organised and executed protest at the Dail on budget day. Nevertheless there are some useful lessons (mostly of the 'how not to do it variety') to be taken from its short existence.
The revolutions and revolts that swept the world in 2011 took almost everyone by surprise. One of the first strong attempts to explain why they happened is Paul Mason's 'Why It's Kicking Off Everywhere.' He argues that "the materialist explanation for 2011...is as much about individuals versus hierarchies as it is about rich against poor." By far the most provocative element of his book is the idea that communications technology, in particular the internet, is transforming the way people behave and that a significant contribution to the revolts of 2011 lie in these changes. If he's right it had profound consequences for the form and structure of revolutionary organisations including anarchist ones.
This article also availale on audio & video, see end.
The Workers Solidarity Movement, along with anarchist organisations throughout the world, refuses to take part in parliamentary elections. Is it not downright weird, or even hypocritical, when anarchists claim to want more democracy than anyone else? Is this a rejection of democracy? Alan MacSimoin tries to answer some of the questions that arise again and again.

Lip bumper
Lip bumper
(Science: dentistry) a lip bumper is used to push the molars on your lower jaw back to create more space for other teeth. The lip bumper consists of an arch wire which is attached to a moulded piece of plastic. You mount the arch wire in the buccal tubes on your lower jaw, and plastic piece rests against your lips. When you eat or talk, you push the plastic piece back which pushes on your molars. That pushes your molars back.

Botatung Paya, Rangoon
9 Reviews
9 Reviews
This Image, in it's own pavilion, is a famous image from the Royal Palace Mandalay that was taken by the British and spent many years in the V & A Museum London. It was eventually returned and now resides here.
The Botataung Pagoda also spelled Botahtaung; literally meaning "1000 military officers") is a famous pagoda located in downtown Yangon, by the river. The pagoda was first built by the Mon around the same time as was Shwedagon Pagoda—according to local belief, over 2500 years ago, and was known as Kyaik-de-att in Mon language. The pagoda is hollow within and can be entered to view, and houses what is believed to be a sacred hair of Gautama Buddha.
The Botataung Pagoda was completely destroyed during World War II, and was rebuilt after the war.
Also at the site is the Royal Palace Bronze Image.
This interesting Pagoda is one of the three Yangon´s big three Payas. The pagoda was named in honor of the 1,000 generals who escorted the Buddha relics from India to Myanmar 2,000 years ago. Is said that the Paya housed eight strands of the Lord Buddha, before they were distributed to other pagodas in the area. The stupa is hollow, with glass showcases containig several relics and statues of Buddha in silver and gold. It was completely destroyed in 1943 by allied bombers when they were bombing the docks nearby in the second World War. The Pagoda was rebuilt using the same style of the old one. There´s also a pond with fish and turtles beside the Stupa. The complex is located in front of the Yangon river, and has nice views of the river and the boats coming and going to the other shore.
I suppose anything must suffer somewhat from comparison to Shwedagon Paya (see seperate tip and travelogue) and this place, another of the major temples in Yangon (Rangoon) certainly does, being neither so old nor so grand, but it is certainly an intersting place to visit.
The name Botataung actually means 1000 generals and the story behind this runs as follows. Eight strands of Buddha's hair were obtained in India by a pair of Burmese merchants and returned home up the Ayerawaddy River to Yangon (Rangoon). So important was this event deemed to be that the boat was met by the aforementioned 1000 generals as a sign of reverence. The eight strands of hair were all held on this site for a time before being distributed elsewhere, although there is still said to be one hair within the stupa.
The reason the Paya is not as ancient as Shwedagon is that during World War 2, Allied bombers reduced the place to rubble whilst bombing the nearby docks. After the War, a great effort was made and the place was rebuilt, a process which continues to this day (I saw a new temple being constructed near the entrance gate).
One unusual feature of the place is that the stups is hollow and you can walk round a glass mosaic walkway where numerous religious artefacts are displayed (see photo). I have never seen another stupa like this on my travels in Southeast Asia.
Another interesting little sight are the turtles in the pond beside the bridge to the left as you enter.
entrance is 2 USD for foreigners with an additional fee of 1USD for a stills camera or 2USD for video. You can leave your footwear with the guy in the office where you get your ticket.
While walking and sightseeing around in Botataung pagoda, we visited some satellite pavillions. Some of them were rather weird as they presented a decorated moving platform with small cans where the prayers were practicing their skills by throwing money inside from a distance. It looked at first sight more like a game than rather a pray...but this is up to locals to explain.
Unlike other zedis (or stupas) which are solid the Botataung is hollow and you can walk through it. There you'll have one of the few chances to see Buddha relics (usually buried and out of sight). The rooms around and underneath zedi have a conical shape and are mirrored making a perfect place of one-man place to meditate. Several artefacts are also on display.
The name ''Botataung" is from 'Bo' a military officer and 'ta taung' one thousand because as legend says on a hillock at this site that one thousand military officers of the king were drawn up as a guard of honour to welcome the landing in Burma of the relics of the Buddha brought over from India more than two thousand years ago. Story says that the Buddhist king Sihadipa gave one of his ministers a sacred hair from the Buddha's head and two body relics and this minister, renowned for his goodness and faith, consulted a famous religious leader and, on his advice, chose the Botataung Mount on the bank of Rangoon River and there enshrined the sacred relics.
The Botataung Pagoda was a famous Land-mark on Rangoon's waterfront but in 1943 the R.A.F. bombed Rangoon's wharves and a whole "stick" of bombs straddled the ancient Botataung Pagoda. As soon as the war ended a Rehabilitation Committee of leading citizens was formed to take steps to rebuild the Pagoda. Preliminary work was commenced and plans drawn up for the rebuilding.
Housed in a separate spacious pavillion next to the pagoda is the most celebrated Nan Oo (Royal Palace Bronze Image)
History says that in 1859 by the order of King Mindon this Gilded Bronze Image of Buddha was casted, inside which sacred relics were enshrined. in 1885 during the British rule the Image was taken to Britain and exhibited in Victoria and Albert Museum. It was no later than 1951 few years after Mynamar's indepedence that the image returned back home and housed in Botataung pagoda.
Pic 1 - This temple is at the south eastern part of the city. Take about 45 min walk from Sule Paya. It is the first pagoda in yangon that contains the Buddha hair relics. Rather different from other pagoda, this one is hollow inside and visitors can go in.
Pic 2 - There are several chambers inside the pagoda. The one right at the entrance has walls and roof totally covered with gold. Even the pipes are coated gold. This chamber is the one that keeps the hair relic
Pic 3 - The other chambers have mirror mosaics covering the walls. Look rather bizzare...
Pic 4 - Right behind the pagoda is a small jetty for crossing the yangon river.

Good job folks... sloppy but good
I already posted our finals.
P.S. For some of you, please next time check the brief for the image sizes and aspect ratio... I had to do some slight hacks to get the images to fit inside the frames and sometimes risize them 200%
February 1st, 2010 #86
...dude, you had no reason to cropped the pictures, instead you could have just ask , I believe thats why you had to upscale later. Upscaling does more harm than good Sir.
I hope this can be fixed, I believe I sent mine with a frame... if you had send me the common frame to my mail I'd be most willing to replace the one I was using. No need to crop my pics.
If this can't be fixed... just take off both my high res and write "OPT OUT OF PRINT" for mine and leave my low res.
contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
February 1st, 2010 #87
It was my error sending my images in wrong size, sorry everyone.
another thing is the images have been croped. If it´s a way to fix it, i would ask Morgado to put it like "OPT OUT OF PRINT" too.
February 2nd, 2010 #88
First of all, I would've "fixed" this would I have had the chance yesterday, however I had to attend to some personal issues after posting our work, and wasn't able to come back online until now. My apologies on that.
The images are not cropped. They are taking the full size of the card, you can see the whole image, given the slight transparency of the frame. I can admit however, that perhaps it could've been executed better. Perhaps next time, better time management could be the answer to these issues...
I was supposed to send you an e-mail, wait for you to get up from your sleep, and etc, and only then prepare things and post?
When I finally had all files to work with, I had the following options:
1) Contact everyone that didn't send things in perfectly working conditions, wait for their replies, and very possibly miss the deadline.
2) Work with what I had, already rushing things and try to post before the contest hosters polled the results.
I obviously chose nº2, and I won't regret it. Personaly, I think its better to deliver things 95% on time, rather than have things 100% missing deadlines.
I am also aware that the rules were clear regarding the sizes of the images. As such I chose to follow the most professional option I had given the circumstances, which was to present things 100% by the rules, Sir.
I had to sacrifice things, namely having some pixelation in some images in order to achieve that.
I am sure however, that once printed, the loss of quality won't be noticed. Previous similar experiences I had with printing tell me that.
Since I wasn't around to do things the way you asked in time, I already edited the post in the poll topic, stating that your cards are OPT OUT OF PRINT.

USA Today Coach of the Year - 1983
Robert Pernell Wade (born December 9, 1944) is a former men's college basketball head coach for the University of Maryland (1986–1989), as well as an American football defensive back for the National Football League.
Football career[edit]
Wade played college football at Morgan State University. After his collegiate career, he played in the National Football League for the Pittsburgh Steelers (1968), the Washington Redskins (1969), and the Denver Broncos (1970).
Basketball coaching career[edit]
Prior to his coaching stint at Maryland, Wade coached at Baltimore's Dunbar High School for ten years, where he compiled a 341-25 record and was often ranked in the nation's top 10. In his best two seasons at the inner-city high school, 1981–1983, Wade put together teams that produced a 60-0 record, the second of which was ranked first in the nation by USAToday. His 1981-82 team produced four future NBA players - three of them first-round draft picks - including Boston Celtics captain Reggie Lewis, who was the high school's team's sixth man, and 5'-3" Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues, who had a 14-year NBA career despite being the shortest player in league history.[1]
Wade was originally hired to replace Lefty Driesell, Maryland's basketball coach of 17 years. Driesell resigned over concerns about the death of All-American forward Len Bias and subsequent revelations about his players' academic performances; the fact that Wade and Driesell didn't like each other, and Wade had consistently said he hadn't wanted Dunbar prospects to play for Driesell at Maryland, was not overlooked by commentators. In high school, Wade had been a strong disciplinarian, and he was appealing to University of Maryland administrators who were attempting to clean up the basketball program.[2] He was also hired in order to increase diversity, as he became the first African American coach of a major sport in the Atlantic Coast Conference, despite the fact that he had no prior experience in coaching a team at the collegiate level.
Largely due to the loss of several players suspended after the Len Bias incident, Wade's first season was one of the worst in school history. The Terps suffered their only winless record in ACC play, as part of an overall 9-17 record. Wade quickly rebuilt the team and got the Terps back into the NCAA tournament a year later. Due to the transfer of star players Brian Williams and Steve Hood, the team significantly regressed in 1988-89, losing 20 games, the most in school history. Wade was forced to resign on May 12, 1989 after only three years as head coach, compiling a 36-50 record. His resignation came amid allegations that he broke NCAA rules in dealing with players and recruits. While criticized for his coaching abilities, his ability to recruit was not in question. In only 2 years of recruiting, (he was hired too late for any serious recruiting his first year) Wade landed 3 NBA first round draft picks in Williams (who later changed his name to Bison Dele), Jerrod Mustaf, and Walt Williams.
An investigation found that, among other things, Wade had provided a loan to one of his recruits and provided free clothes to his players. More seriously, Wade lied to the NCAA on several occasions, and even went as far as to hold a meeting with his staff to coordinate plans to lie to the NCAA. In one of the toughest penalties handed out by the NCAA for such transgressions, the Terps were placed on three years' probation, banned from postseason play in 1991 and 1992 and kicked off live television for the 1990-91 season. Wade himself was hit with a five-year show-cause order, which effectively blackballed him from the collegiate ranks until 1995.[3] Noting the lack of institutional control and perceiving his departure as mistreatment of an African American coach, blue-chip high school players from Baltimore City would largely avoid Maryland until Keith Booth chose to attend Maryland in 1993.

It seems like drones are everywhere in Washington. A drone landed on the White House lawn, the Federal Aviation Administration released regulations for small commercial drones in U.S. airspace, and, most recently, the State Department finally unveiled a long-awaited policy on the export of U.S.-origin military and commercial Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), colloquially referred to as… Keep reading →
What Obama's Drone Export Policy Really MeansBy Peter Lichtenbaum and Rachel Stohl
WASHINGTON: US foreign military sales are growing so fast the Pentagon can't keep its PowerPoint slides updated — and they may well grow still more if a Defense Department policy easing exports of unmanned aircraft to 66 countries gets interagency and Congressional approval.
When Defense Security Cooperation Agency staff put together a briefing for DSCA deputy director Richard Genaille to give today at the National Press Club, new Foreign Military Sales (FMS) for fiscal year 2012 were at $64 billion. "It's now $65 billion and will probably go up more in this fiscal year," Genaille told the audience this morning at the ComDef 2012 conference. All told, Genaille said, "the FMS portfolio is valued at $385 billion dollars," and supports "at least 3.5 million jobs, [at] a conservative estimate." Keep reading →
CORRECTED WASHINGTON: The Navy's venerable Scan Eagle unmanned drone could go global if service leaders can lock in agreements with a number of key European and Mideast allies.
Navy leaders are considering foreign military sales of the Scan Eagle to Kuwait, Pakistan and the Netherlands, according to a presentation by Marine Corps Col. James Rector, head of the small tactical unmanned aerial systems division at Naval Air Systems Command. Aside from the U.S. Navy, the Scan Eagle is being flown by naval forces in Colombia, Tunisia, Poland and Iraq, according to PowerPoint slides from Rector's speech at the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International's annual program review in Washington yesterday. He could not comment specifically on where the Pentagon was in the negotiations, noting that all FMS talks were still preliminary.
If the Navy can secure deals with Islamabad, Amsterdam and Kuwait City, the Scan Eagle will be one of many pieces of U.S. unmanned hardware heading to allied forces. Australia and Japan are reportedly in informal talks with the Air Force over a potential purchase of the service's Global Hawk unmanned aircraft. International interest in the high-altitude unmanned drone is still strong, despite the Pentagon's failure to secure a deal with South Korea for the aircraft late last year. NATO's already secured a deal to buy the Block 40 version of the Air Force drone for their forces.
To that end, Australia has already agreed to buy the several copies of the Navy's newest version of the MH-60 combat helicopter, joining Thailand as the two foreign militaries to fly the Sikorsky-Lockheed Martin built rotorcraft. South Korea and and Saudi Arabia also considering deals to buy the Navy helo. The rise in foreign military sales highlight a trend among American defense industry firms, who are reaching out to growing markets in Asia and the Middle East to keep their spreadsheets in the black.U.S. defense firms are entering a "about a five- to seven-year window of opportunity that only comes along once in a while in the international arena," Boeing military aviation chief Chris Chadwick told Breaking Defense earlier this year.
The potential sales that could be pushed through that window, he added, will be largely focused on Asia and the Middle East. However, industry continues to be hamstrung by excessive export restrictions on U.S. hardware, particularly unmanned technology. The Pentagon and White House are moving ahead with efforts to help alleviate those restrictions, since the U.S. will become more dependent on its allies in future conflicts.

Birmingham's leading scorer Nikola Zigic and midfielder Lee Bowyer are poised to return.
Eight-goal Zigic made his comeback from a groin injury by playing for Serbia in midweek.
Bowyer has resumed full training after recovering from a hamstring problem.
Playmaker Alexander Hleb could also be added to the squad after having an injection to ease his knee problem.
But central defender Martin Jiranek is doubtful after undergoing a minor toe operation.
Bolton boss Owen Coyle is short of central midfielders.
Stuart Holden has been ruled out for six months after damaging knee ligaments in the defeat by Manchester United last time out, while Mark Davies is a major doubt as he continues to battle an ankle injury.
That means Tamir Cohen could make his first Premier League start of the season, with England Under-21 international Fabrice Muamba also in contention.
Zat Knight (knee) is back in training but not yet ready for a return, while Sean Davis (knee) and Sam Ricketts (Achilles) are both long-term absentees.

Oscar Pistorius trial: Witness accused of doctoring testimony
Published on Mar 6, 2014 6:45 PM
PRETORIA (AFP) - Oscar Pistorius' defence lawyer accused a key witness of doctoring evidence with his wife to "incriminate" the athlete on Thursday, as he tried to scupper the prosecution's principal line of attack.
Mr Barry Roux, continuing a tough cross-examination for a fourth day, sought to show that Mr Charl Johnson's first account of events the night Pistorius's girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp was shot dead differed from his sworn testimony.
"There is a design on your side to incriminate," Mr Roux said, claiming Mr Johnson's evidence was made in collusion with that of his wife and fellow key witness, Mrs Michelle Burger.
"You desperately want her version not to form part of this document," said Mr Roux, pointing at the witness.

The special court hearing the 2G spectrum scam case on Thursday allowed Subramanian Swamy's application to summon witnesses to substantiate his case that the former Telecom Minister, A. Raja, and the then Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram, "acted in collusion," but on condition that he first examine himself as witness on December 17 to lead further evidence and explain how the testimony of other witnesses he wished to be summoned would be relevant to his case.
The complainant "is permitted to recall himself as CW1 (Court Witness 1) for leading further evidence. However, other witnesses as mentioned in the 'list of witnesses' will be allowed to be summoned only after the relevance of their testimony is explained by the complainant," Special Judge O. P. Saini said in his order.
He was disposing of Dr. Swamy's application moved under Section 311 of the Criminal Procedure Code on September 15 for summoning witnesses and recalling himself as a witness to depose further, in light of new evidence which, he claimed, had come into his possession.
Mr. Saini said: "In view of the fact that the complainant was not aware of the identity of [the] additional proposed accused at the time of filing of [his] complaint, but has now come to know about it, he is not prevented in law from leading evidence on this point, more so, when he has referred to the role of other conspirators in his complaint. Furthermore, the case is still at the initial stage. Only the complainant has examined himself as CW1. If such a prayer is made at an early stage, I see no reason for disallowing the same."
Arguing his case on December 3, Dr. Swamy alleged that Mr. Raja and Mr. Chidambaram had "jointly decided" to dole out Unified Access Service licences in 2008 at 2001 prices and allowed the dilution of equity by Swan Telecom and Unitech Wireless, which had been granted UAS licences.
Among the witnesses Dr. Swamy wants summoned are a Joint Director in the CBI and a former Finance Ministry official.

Our stay at Lisa's was wonderful. The room is really cosy and well equipped with fan, air con, fridge, kettle, desk and even a water dispenser. WiFi was also good, the communication with Lisa was always easy and the location is great: just 5 minutes walk to many restaurants, motorbike rental, cafés, etc. and another 5 minutes to the beach. I can only recommend this place.
I had a very nice stay at Lisas room. It is a cute, clean and quiet place.
Also Lisa is a great host, I booked the room in the morning of my first night there (so very spontanious) but Lisa managed everythink perfectly, she even organised a driver for me (I would recommend to use that offer if possible. The room is not so easy to find on our own.)
I can only recommend to stay at Lisas room if you are in Sanur.
I spent 4 weeks at Lisa's house and must say that it was one of the most pleasant experiences - the room is very cosy, bed is just fantastic, beautiful bathroom and very comfortable table! Everything was just as described. I needed wi-fi for my work and the internet connection is really fast – the fastest possible in Bali! Daily cleaning service, a fridge, a cooler and plus – Lisa was so nice to help me any time I addressed her (hope that wasn't too often)). The only thing I regret is that I had to leave, but I hope to come back one day)) Lisa - you are a wonderful woman with a beautiful personality! I wish you and all your big family only the best!
This place is small and cute. It wasn't too far away from the main street or the beach. Having a fridge and an air con was amazing. I must agree with the last reviewer about the smell though. Not noticeable in the main room, but the bathroom always smelt a little. Lack of circulation I imagine. Other than that, a few niggly things, but overall great value for money.
The room is as described and Lisa was very helpful with communication before we had arrived and during our stay, though we never actually met her. This room is really good value for Sanur with hot water, a fridge, AC, desk/chair, and water cooler. Something was wrong with the wifi during our stay and it was only working about half the time (terrible for me as my work depends on it), but hey it's Bali. **For you digital nomads out there, check out Sanur Space 5 minutes away for high speeds and great value in an excellent work environment.** I should also note though that for some reason the area directly outside the room smelled slightly of sewage most of the time. The location of the room is great with the beach and local restaurants minutes away. Lisa's handyman Nyoman was very friendly and helpful, and a pleasure to chat with. If you want to stay in Sanur, i would recommend this place regardless of the unreliable internet and funky smells :)
We had a very nice stay at this place. Communication was great and our driver was lovely. Clean and comfy room.
Lisa odered a driver from airport to our place. it very helpful and nice.

Calif. lawmakers seek deal over Internet sales tax
SACRAMENTO, Calif. California lawmakers on Thursday were crafting a compromise bill with Amazon.com that would delay until next year a law forcing Internet retailers to collect sales tax on online purchases.
If approved by Friday, the last day of this year's legislative session, the bill would mark an acknowledgement by Amazon that it should collect the sales tax for the state just like any retailer with shops in California.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said lawmakers would delay implementing the law collecting sales tax until Sept. 15, 2012. Amazon has threatened to seek a repeal at the ballot box next year. The company has spent more than $5 million toward a 2012 ballot referendum to overturn the law requiring Internet sales tax collection.
The delay would allow time for Internet and traditional retailers to lobby Congress for a national solution for collection of taxes from large Internet retailers. It would also allow the state to avoid a drawn-out fight.
"What the state gets out of the Amazon agreement is certainty," said Steinberg, a Democrat from Sacramento. "The state was at risk of never being able to collect the sales tax if a referendum is legal and if it were to win."
Traditional retailers have agreed to the deal and were working with lawmakers and Amazon on legislation late Thursday.
"We are reviewing language and trying to come to a deal," said Bill Dombrowski, president and chief executive of the California Retailers Association. "Right now we have parameters, but this is the end of session and everyone has to see the actual language."
Amazon spokeswoman Mary Osako said the Seattle-based company would have no comment.
Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, said Thursday that he was aware of the agreement but did not have a chance to assess it yet.
Under the budget package approved by Brown and Democratic lawmakers, the state had adopted a law to collect an additional $200 million annually in tax from online sales. The Legislature passed a similar law in 2009, but then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed it.
Steinberg said he's unsure how the state will make up that loss by not collecting the tax for a whole year.
"It's not perfect," he said. "We'd love the tax to be collected now but Sept. 15 is a whole lot better than the risk of never."
California is among a growing number of states that have turned to such measures in hopes of bringing in more tax revenue.
Billions of dollars are at stake as a growing number of states look for ways to generate more revenue without violating a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that prohibits them from forcing businesses to collect sales taxes unless the business has a physical presence, such as a store, in that state. When consumers order from out-of-state retailers, they're supposed to pay the tax that is due, but they rarely do and it's difficult to enforce.
States are trying to get around the Supreme Court restriction by passing laws that broaden the definition of a physical presence. Online retailers, meanwhile, are resisting being deputized as tax collectors.

Detailed studies of the structure, tectonics, near bottom magnetic anomalies and microearthquake seismicity of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge near 37°N
Macdonald, Ken C.
Citable URI:
37°N; Mid-Atlantic Ridge
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is one of the most well known and yet poorly understood spreading centers in the world. A detailed investigation of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge crest near 37°N (FAMOUS) was conducted using a deeply towed instrument package. The objective was to study the detailed structure and spreading history of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge median valley, to explore the roles of volcanism and faulting in the evolution of oceanic crust, and to study the morphologic expression and structural history of the zone of crustal accretion. In addition, microearthquake surveys were conducted using arrays of free-floating hydrophones. The most recent expression of the accreting plate boundary in the Famous Rift is an alternating series of linear central volcanoes and depressions 1.5 km wide which lie within the inner floor. This lineament is marked by a sharp maximum in crustal magnetization only 2-3 km wide. Magnetic studies indicate that over 90% of the extrusive volcanism occurs within the rift inner floor, a zone 1 to 12 km wide, while volcanism is extremely rare in the rift mountains. Volcanoes created in the inner floor are transported out on, block faults, becoming a lasting part of the topography. Magnetic anomaly transition widths vary from 1 km to 8 km with time and appear to reflect a bi-stable median valley structure. The valley has either a wide inner floor and narrow terraces, in which case the volcanic zone is wide and magnetic anomalies are poorly recorded (wide transition widths); or it has a narrow inner floor and wide terraces, the volcanic zone is then narrow and anomalies are clearly recorded (narrow transition widths). The median valley of any ridge segment varies between these two structures with time. At present the. Famous Rift has a narrow inner floor and volcanic zone (1-3 km) while the south Famous Rift is at the opposite end of the cycle with a wide inner floor and volcanic zone (10-12 km). Over 95% of the large scale (>2 km) relief of the median valley is accounted for by normal faults dipping toward the valley axis. Normal faulting along fault planes dipping away from the valley begins just past the outer walls of the valley. Outward facing normal faulting accounts for most of the decay of median valley relief in the rift mountains while crustal tilting accounts for less than 20%. The pattern of normal faulting creates a broad, undulating horst and graben relief. Volcanic features contribute little to the large scale relief, but contribute to the short wavelength (<2km) roughness of the topography. Spreading in the Famous area is highly asymmetric with rates twice as high to the east as to the west. At 1.7 m.y.b.p. the sense of asymmetry reverses in direction with spreading faster to the west, resulting in a gross symmetry when averaged through time. The change in spreading asymmetry occurred in less than 0.15 m.y. Structural studies indicate that the asymmetric spreading is accomplished through asymmetric crustal extension as well as asymmetric crustal accretion. Spreading in the Famous area is 17° oblique. Even on a fine scale there is no indication of readjustment to an orthogonal plate boundary system. Spreading has been stably oblique for at least 6 m.y., even through a change in spreading direction. Magnetic studies reveal that the deep DSDP hole at site 332 was drilled into a magnetic polarity transition, and may have sampled rocks which recorded the earth i s field behavior during a reversal. The presence of negative polarity crust within the Brunhes normal epoch in the inner floor has been determined, and may be due to old crust left behind or recording of a geomagnetic field event. Crustal magnetization decays to lie of its initial value in less than 0.6 m.y. The rapid decay may be facillitated by very intense crustal fracturing observed in the inner floor. Microearthquake, magnetic and structural studies indicate that both the spreading and transform plate boundaries are very narrow (1-2 km) and well-defined for short periods, but migrate over zones 10-20 km wide through time.
