Road Trip into Terror: Dark Detour Revs Up for a Week of Chills and Thrills
In the tarot card deck of Talbot Griffin's life, the first card on the table would most likely be The Fool, that familiar vagabond traveler blithely setting out into the unknown. Scrolling through his social media accounts, Griffin's audience can piece together a whimsical portrait of a happy-go-not-so-lucky young musician whose life has hit a few bumps in the road. After making a pilgrimage to Jim Morrison's grave in the Paris cemetery Père Lachaise, Griffin returned to New York City to find his life taking a sharp curve. His girlfriend leaves him. His boss fires him. And he's got to find a new place to live. What's a rising superstar musician to do? "Borrow" his grandfather's '67 Mustang and take a cross-country road trip to Los Angeles, where fame and fortune await him, of course!
As Griffin travels, elusive song lyrics distract and disturb him, a cut on his arm festers and refuses to heal, and the same creepy hitchhiker mysteriously appears in several stops along the way. Where is Talbot Griffin really going, and what waits for him at the end of the road?
Described by its creators as "a ghost story for the digital age," Dark Detour, the tale of musician Talbot Griffin and his travels, is a comedy-horror tale that makes use of several social media platforms, allowing the audience to follow Talbot Griffin's harrowing adventures in real time. The interactive ghost story will wrap up on Halloween, and comes with its very own safe word – MIMEKILLER – that audience members can use to opt out of the experience at any time if it becomes too intense.
This independent project is produced by a creative team led by Alison Norrington of StoryCentral and Steve Peters of No Mimes Media, along with creative consultants Brian Clark, Jan Libby, Blair Erickson, and Mike Monello. Peters and Norrington raised funds to produce the project through an Indiegogo campaign, with Clark, Libby, Erickson, and Monello added to the team through the campaign's stretch goals. Perks for campaign backers included postcards, dashboard hula girls, project consultations, and "a personalized phone call to scare the crap out of you on or around Halloween night."
Endgame Variations: Multiple Play Styles for the End of the World
Tens of thousands of years ago, mankind's earliest civilizations were visited by extraterrestrial beings. Due to their superior knowledge and technology, these early visitors were treated as gods. Native Americans knew them as the Sky People. To the Sumerians, they were the Annunaki. Whatever they were called, these visitors came to earth and instructed mankind, leaving behind countless monuments behind. At least, that's what some people claim. The theory commonly referred to as the "ancient astronaut hypothesis" serves as the foundation for a cross-platform collaboration between James Frey's Full Fathom Five, HarperCollins, Google's Niantic Labs, and Fox Searchlight.
According to Endgame's legend, Earth's ancient alien visitors warned mankind that they would return one day for a reckoning known as Endgame. Some believe it to be a punishment for squandering the aliens' enlightenment, and straining earth's resources, while others view it as a method of selecting a favored sub-section of humanity for preservation. Whatever the cause, the nature of Endgame is clear: twelve of the most ancient civilizations must select a teenager to represent their society in a deadly treasure hunt where failure means death — the only survivors of Endgame are the members of the winning civilization. For thousands of years, the twelve societies have been training potential representatives from birth to save their people, in case Endgame should fall to their generation. Finally, after over thirty thousand years, twelve meteorites touched down, signaling the beginning of Endgame, and twelve teenagers started their journey to locate three keys hidden across the globe.
This narrative serves as the core of the Endgame experience across every platform. However, people interested in exploring the world of Endgame are presented with a number of dramatically different ways to interact with the story. For players looking for a solitary experience, puzzles infused into the novel leads to the secret to unlocking approximately $500,000 in gold coins kept on display at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. For those looking for a more social gaming experience, an alternate reality game delves deeper into Endgame's backstory, while an upcoming mobile app allowing players to take the conflict to the streets in a competitive, PVP style of gameplay.

Google Rolls Out Ingress to iOS Devices
In November 2012, Google introduced its Ingress scanner app to the Google Play store. And for almost two years, the central point of interaction for Google's deeply immersive alternate reality game has been an Android exclusive. That changes today: with the release of Ingress's scanner app to the iTunes Store, the world of Ingress has officially rolled out on iOS devices.
The Ingress scanner app asks players to join the green Enlightened or blue Resistance faction in a battle for control over portals tied to real world landmarks. The game has a sizeable player base within the Android community. Over 12,000 players have gathered for the game's frequent live events in cities across the globe so far in 2014, and the game boasts over 4 million downloads. With the expansion into iOS devices, an influx of new players is likely.
To help ease new players into the game, Ingress is introducing new elements to ease the transition into a deep narrative running beneath the game's surface, and a community that continues to blossom as they take on increasingly extravagant challenges. The primary conduit for introducing new players to the world of Ingress is a new web series featuring two sisters who signed up to play the game for opposite factions, Ingress Obsessed, complementing the existing Ingress Report videos.
Five Years of Story Revealed Through Trials and Error
RedLynx Studios' Trials games are pure, unadulterated evil.
The basic premise of their motorcycle racing game has remained largely unchanged over the past decade: navigate through a series of unforgiving and often lethal obstacles to complete the track. More often than not, the "reward" for completing a track is to witness your rider explore new and creative ways to die. Given the game's unforgiving learning curve, cycling through hundreds of riders on a single track is par for the course. And for most players, that's where the story ends. Riders enter the track, riders finish the track, and riders die. But for players willing to dig a little deeper, Trials hides a deeper mystery.
It all started in 2009 with Trials HD, RedLynx's console debut. Many of Trials HD's levels contained a series of codes, ciphers, and objects referencing key moments in history tied to the advancement of science and the arts. One level's course was built around Beethoven's Ode to Joy, with the song's notes appearing in the background as the rider's path followed the rise and fall of the famous song. A projection at the end of another level replicated Charles Darwin's famous Tree of Life sketch, exploring his theory of evolution. Prototypes of Da Vinci's inventions provided the backdrop for another level. Even JJ Abrams' Mystery Box typifying his approach to the integration of mystery in storytelling makes an appearance. Intrigued, players identified the connections between the disparate scientific advances highlighted in the game to reveal metaphysical musings from the game's creative director, Antti "ANBA" Ilvessuo, on the meaning of life. In Ilvessuo's vision, much of this thought culminates with the Voyager probe and its Golden Record, as an attempt to reach out to life outside our solar system.
When Trials Evolution was released in 2012, Ilvessuo and the team at RedLynx hid instructions to an even more unforgiving puzzle, despite its more straightforward solution. Various stages in the game contained signposts featuring a message encoded with a Vignere cipher, using text from the Bohr-Einstein debates as the key. Following the instructions unlocked an audio track leading to the website FixedPatternEncodes.com, which soon featured a string of icons representing key moments in science in a manner highly reminiscent of the Trials HD puzzle trail. Matching the names of famous scientists with their discoveries provided an alphabetic cipher for one final riddle before GPS coordinates for four locations in Helsinki, Sydney, Bath, and San Francisco were revealed. Players who went to each location treasure chests containing keys, along with instructions to take the key to Paris, France on August 1, 2113. On that date, one of five keys will open a box underneath the Eiffel Tower.
That's right: a video game about motorcycle racing is planning on unveiling a mystery box at the foot of the Eiffel Tower in a hundred years, and the mystery box can only be opened by one of five keys entrusted to future generations.
The Art Hunters Turns Springfield Art Museum Into Crime Scene
The Springfield Art Museum has been plagued with some serious security problems this summer. Last week, George Caleb Bingham's Portrait of Fanny Smith Crenshaw went missing, transforming the painting's location into a crime scene. This week, it's Roger Shimomura's Kansas Samurai. If cracking the case meant tracking down art thieves unloading their inventory on the black market, the authorities would be well equipped to handle the case. However, the museum suspects these disappearances are an inside job: paintings are coming to life and escaping their frames, breaking out from the inside. So they called in the experts: the Art Hunters.
Shane Beckworth and Brock Hansen are a pair of hard-as-nails art retrieval specialists and co-founders of The Art Hunters, an organization that specializes in art that comes to life. Every week, the duo tackle a new case featured on their online reality show, and enlist the aid of the show's Art Hunter Reservist fans to track down the missing artwork and return it to the museum. During the show's premiere episode, Reservists followed a series of clues scattered throughout the Springfield Art Museum that led them to the Maple Park Cemetery. At the cemetery, they discovered the real Fanny Smith Crenshaw's tombstone, providing Beckworth and Hansen all the information they needed to convince Bingham's portrait to return to her frame.
Art Hunters Online is an alternate reality game created by the Springfield Art Museum in Springfield, Missouri and red40 Entertainment. The project is set to run through July 17th, with six weeks of escaped art to keep the local community occupied over the summer. Weekly videos introduce the weekly case, informing Reservists where to go to find the missing artwork's crime scene and its corresponding puzzle trail. By focusing on artwork that has deep significance to the city, the hunt can extend beyond the museum to locations across the city. Solving the puzzles along the way provides a special code that can be entered into the Art Hunters Online website to unlock the second half of the weekly video, depicting how Beckworth and Hansen recapture the escaped art.
ARGFest Hosts 10-Year Reunion for Bee Enthusiasts in Portland
Ten years ago, the website for Margaret's House of Bees started acting strangely. Many of the site's images were glitched beyond recognition, and nonsensical text covered up articles about the Napa Valley-based apiary.
While many of the people who gathered to troubleshoot a bee enthusiast's website refer to themselves as "Beekeepers", a passion for the cultivation of honey wasn't the only reason over half a million people flocked to ilovebees.com over the next four months. I Love Bees was an alternate reality game that introduced Halo fans to the first-person shooter's rich backstory through over a five-hour long audio drama released into the world through pay phone calls, blog posts, emails, and websites in bite-sized chunks.
Between Thursday July 31st and Saturday August 2nd, many of I Love Bees' creators and some of its most dedicated players will gather together to celebrate the anniversary in Portland for ARGFest, an annual conference, festival, and meetup that brings together the creators and fans of alternate reality games, transmedia storytelling projects, and serious games.
On Thursday July 31st, ARGFest is adding the IDEA Symposium, with a series of speakers focusing on the business of creating interactive entertainment and transmedia. Serial game designer Mike Selinker, whose recent projects include the narrative puzzle book Maze of Games and the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game will be headlining the day's events. Joining him for the IDEA Symposium are indie game developers, platform creators, event producers, and experience designers behind everything from Cards Against Humanity's game design reality show Tabletop Deathmatch to Disney's The Optimist, a historical fiction retrospective of Disney Parks' history.
The I Love Bees Anniversary festivities start on Friday August 1st with an interview between ARGNet founder Steve Peters and Jordan Weisman, the chief creative for the alternate reality game, and more recently creator of Shadowrun Returns and Golem Arcana. Friday's Speakers will also provide a closer look at the state of transmedia in Europe, the climate change serious game Future Coast, and the transmedia thriller Phrenic, guided by Glitchhikers creator Lucas Johnson as Grand Inquisitor, charged with kicking off the Q&A sessions by asking panelists challenging questions. The evening's keynote will be followed with a performance by The Doubleclicks, who recently raised over $80,000 on Kickstarter to release an album of songs about dinosaurs, tabletop games, and binge-watching Netflix.
The main Beekeeper reunion will take place on Saturday August 2nd, with panels reflecting on the game from players, as well as I Love Bees creators Elan Lee, Sean Stewart, and Kristen Rutherford. The festivities will conclude with FestQuest, a puzzle hunt designed to show attendees the city of Portland in a different light before leading them to the final mystery location to close out the evening. This year's hunt was created by Puzzled Pint.
Tickets for the full three days of ARGFest are available for $200 through July 2, although attendees are able to purchase tickets for select events at a discounted rate. Check out the ARGFest 2014 website for the full list of speakers, conference schedule, or to register.

Music Joseph D'Cruz is probably the only saxophone teacher in Kochi. He speaks of his special love for the sax and the peculiarities of the instrument
Joseph D'Cruz is a teacher who belongs to the old school of teaching. This music master is probably the only person in Kochi who teaches the saxophone. The piano, organ, guitar, clarinet, keyboard, mouth-organ etc are just some of the other instruments he teaches.
Classroom is the rather spartan first floor of his rented house. Patchwork sheets cover a keyboard and a digital piano. A few music books, a couple of pictures of Jesus and a few knick-knacks arranged neatly on a table are the other equipment in the tidy room.
The septuagenarian reveals interesting aspects of teaching and learning music. He has been teaching in Kochi since 1975. He started with Cochin Arts and Communications (CAC) before moving to Dubai in 1992. He taught at a music school there, till he returned in 2000.
The masters who taught him, in the 50s, were Italian priests of the Sacred Heart School and College near Jolarpettai. He started with the clarinet and then moved on to the saxophone. The other instruments? "It is not too difficult if you know the notes and where to find them on the instrument," he says in impeccable English. Learning the guitar and the keyboard is popular, he says, but the saxophone has few takers. In fact, he has just one student who learns the saxophone.
The saxophone, or for that matter all reed instruments, requires effort and hard work. "Initially the sound which emanates from the instrument is just a squeak. Needless to say it requires a lot of practice," Joseph sir says. All that blowing a wind/reed instrument requires can put off anybody who is not committed to the instrument. He doffs his hat (imaginary) to Kadri Gopalnath. "Quite an effort!"
As the conversation veers to jazz music and the five kinds of saxophones (soparano, alto, tenor, baritone and bass) he offers to show his saxophone (an alto). He gets his saxophone, tenderly holds it and asks, "Want me to play something?" He strikes a pose and warns, "Be prepared for a few decibels of sound." Sound? No, music yes. And then the clarinet. The years disappear when Joseph sir starts playing. The piano will have to wait, as he has injured his wrist and it needs rest. Then there is an accordion, but broken, somewhere.
Committed teacher
Teaching is something close to his heart. "I turned down offers to perform or join a band because I'd rather teach." The Trinity College of Music had awarded him with a certificate for Proficiency in Teaching (music). Most of the students he taught and sent for the exams cleared them. He, however, does not do that anymore. At 74 , teaching young kids would be an effort, but not for Joseph sir. As long as he is able to 'communicate and make the child understand the abstract concept'. Therefore he has set Standard 3 – 4 as the suitable time for kids to start. And for the saxophone? "Be bigger than the instrument," he says with a soft laugh. He conducts classes from home.
Chatting with Joseph sir is going back and forth, the old days and the now. Is his approach to teaching different from that of his teachers? "Not every much. Only that the fundamental nomenclature for music has changed. For Western Classical music (vocal) lessons still use 'do-re-mi-so-fa-li-ti-do' but for instruments and others it is 'c-d-e-f-g-a-b-c'." Rather than teaching particular songs he teaches the old school way, concentrating on Western classical musical notation of teaching. He is, he confesses, classically oriented. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven among others figure prominently in his syllabus, which he designs to suit his individual students. That is not to say that if a student asks to be taught a song he refuses. He indulges once in a way because when 'they play a song, they feel they have a sense of achievement'.
His being classically-oriented doesn't come in the way of being tolerant of current musical trends. "If youngsters are enjoying some kind of music, then it should be appreciated," he says.

|Goals of instruction: a cross case analysis of five secondary mathematics teachers
|Webb, Matthew Michael, 1976-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Teacher goals are an understudied component of teacher thinking. Teacher goals uncover the composite of knowledge, beliefs, and values and direction that underlie teachers' actions. In this study five experienced secondary mathematics teachers were observed and interviewed over the span of a week to investigate their goals. Findings were developed inductively and led to a presentation of goal themes. Teachers held goals for self-improvement, for the classroom environment, for the direction tasks and activities would go, and also held learning goals in both pure subject matter as well as affect goals such as that students come to value mathematics and perceive it as useful. Teachers monitored the attainment of their goals and were driven to continually work towards goals because they did not think of themselves as ever completely achieving their goals. The reasoning teachers engaged in related to their goals provided a window into their knowledge and beliefs and how their knowledge and beliefs developed around their goals. This information is beneficial to researchers as well as practitioners and pre-service teachers because this research indicates that teachers' goals can be very useful to uncover teacher knowledge and highlights how influential teacher goals are in the overall learning environment as well as how teachers perceive their own work.

Consider Xeriscape ideas this spring
CORPUS CHRISTI - While you are thinking about spring clean up and planting, it is the perfect time to consider Xeriscape.
Years of education in our area have helped to enlighten many members of our community, but too many still think of only rocks and cactus. Xeriscape is so much more and can be added, a step at a time, to your existing landscape without a single rock or cactus.
Part of the misconception about Xeriscape comes from mispronunciation. Too often I hear the word butchered to sound like "Zero-scape" which gives a mental picture of emptiness. In reality, it comes from the word for dry and should be pronounced "Zeri-scape" with a short "I" sound. Think about it, we live in a semiarid environment where periodic drought conditions are common. Why not plan for dryness? If you wait for a drought, it is too late.
Xeriscape consists of seven practical principles of landscaping.
Planning and design, soil analysis and preparation, appropriate plant selection, practical turf areas, efficient irrigation, use of mulches and appropriate maintenance.
You may be doing some of the principles of Xeriscape without even realizing it. Others you can work at implementing as time and money allow, to make your yard more water efficient.
Planning is one of the areas we often forget about. Beginning with a plan helps to group plants together by water use, makes your yard more functional and prevents an over-crowed, water-thirsty landscape. Look at your needs during these cold months and develop a plan to rejuvenate your yard with less grass or more water efficient plants this spring.
Soil in the Coastal Bend can make gardening difficult. Understanding its properties and using the proper amendments, such as ample amounts of compost, will give your yard an advantage. It will provide drainage during rainy seasons and hold in nutrients and water during droughts, helping your plants grow better.
Plant selection is important for water-wise landscapes, but remember it is only one component. You might also hear this principle referred to as using native plants. Native plants should always be at the top of your list of choices since they have been naturally adapted to our area and support local wildlife. However, there are also other water-wise, well-adapted plants that can provide a more formal look while conserving water. Look for the purple water-wise label at local nurseries to help you with your plant selection.
Grass can be a practical option for turf, by creating large open spaces for play, but turf selection will help you use less water while also providing play spaces and erosion control. Look at other grasses besides the common Raleigh St. Augustine to save water while still maintaining a lush green lawn.
Efficient irrigation simply means applying water wisely. This starts with timing watering for early morning to reduce evaporation and wind drift. Selecting a sprinkler that produces large water droplets is another easy way to save water with minimal investment. If you have an irrigation system, you can run an audit to increase efficiency and then readjust the settings to match the time of year.
Mulching is critical to save water. Using organic mulches is a simple way to replenish your soil, keep down weeds and hold the water in the soil.
Appropriate maintenance includes fertilizing, weeding, pest control, mowing, pruning and other regular yard chores.
If you want to learn more about these topics, you are in luck. The fifth annual Xeriscape Symposium will be held Jan. 29 at the Corpus Christi Museum of Science & History from 8:30 a.m. to noon.
Local landscape professionals will provide residents with firsthand knowledge on how to develop water efficient gardens with creative and environmentally friendly features. Participants will receive a free water-wise plant and qualify for door prizes.
This free event is sponsored by members of Xeriscape Corpus Christi including City of Corpus Christi Water and Stormwater Departments, the Nueces County AgriLife Extension and the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History and the South Texas Botanical Gardens. For additional information, please call 361-826-1614.

Certainly not the only one mate, but the nacells and mission pod section fit very nicly with the rest as a normal Vor'cha IMO.
I like that it unlocks for both the tier 4 and 5 versions too and while normally I would be of the same opinion as many people in this thread (I.E. should be free since the KDF lack so much customisation already) I decided to purchase it in the hope that It will show the Devs that there are players in the KDF that appreciate their work, as small as it has been compared to the feds. My logic, show the devs people want what they are offering, ergo show them the KDF is worth working on in the hope that not everything will end up in the store.

I took out the side of the cooktop that did not work. I had to take off the bottom of the cooktop and checked where electricity was going and not going. Once I found the part that needed replacing, I went on the website, search for Jen-Air cooktops and model number. From the sketch on the website, I was able to order the part needed. I decided to get 2 in order to replace both parts at one time, just in case. The part arrived quickly and was easy to install. The most time I spent was taking the backside off the cooktop and cleaning it.

Behind Bars at the Bar
By Pat Reavy Deseret News
While a lot of people were getting married on Friday, 8-8-08 on the calendar, local law enforcers and a downtown Salt Lake bar reminded residents that the number eight has another important meaning in Utah.
A motorist whose blood-alcohol content is above 0.08 can be arrested for drunken driving.
The Utah Highway Patrol, the Department of Highway Safety and advertising group R&R Partners tried to drive home that point by launching their latest DUI campaign Friday at Lumpy's Downtown, 145 W. Pierpont Ave.
Last year, the groups put coasters and napkins with anti- drinking-and-driving messages in bars across the Wasatch Front as well as a life-size cardboard cutout of a UHP trooper at the entrances of each establishment. They also placed a sign on all the bathroom mirrors that looked like a jail booking slate, making a person's reflection look like a mug shot.
This year, the "Drunk Driving, Over the Limit, Under Arrest" campaign stays in the bathrooms, and it takes the mugshot idea a step further. The bathroom stalls have been "decorated" to look like jail bars so a person using the facilities will have the illusion of sitting in a jail cell.
A new set of napkins also will be distributed to the clubs, this time to look like fingerprint charts. And the coasters this year will have two messages.
The first says, "Jail Cell Ale. Best served on an ice cold floor … If you've been drinking, please ride with a sober friend or call a cab." The second has the phrase, "Big Jim's. You're My Honey Wheat … Heavy in Body. Sweet & Complex. If you've been drinking, please ride with a sober friend or call a cab." In 2006, there were 56 alcohol-related fatalities on Utah's highways, according to campaign organizers.

Johann Strauss II
100 Most Famous Works
Vol. 5
Johann Strauss II, the most famous and enduringly successful nineteenth
century light music composer, was born in Vienna on 25 October 1825. Building
upon the firm musical foundations laid by his father, Johann Strauss I
(1804-1849) and Joseph Lanner (1801-1843), the younger Johann (along with his
brothers, Josef and Eduard) achieved so high a development of the classical
Viennese waltz that it became as much a feature of the concert hall as of the
ballroom. For more than half a century Johann II captivated not only Vienna but
also the whole of Europe and America with his abundantly tuneful waltzes,
polkas, quadrilles and marches. The appeal of his music bridged all social
strata, and his genius was revered by such masters as Verdi, Brahms and Richard
Strauss. The thrice-married "Waltz King" later turned his attention
to the composition of operetta, and completed 16 stage works (among them Die
Fledermaus, Eine Nacht in Venedig and Der Zigeunerbaron) besides
more than 500 orchestral compositions - including the most famous of all
waltzes, The Blue Danube (1867). Johalm Strauss II died in Vienna on 3
June 1899.
The Marco Polo Strauss Edition, from which these recordings were
selected, is a milestone in recording history, presenting, for the first time
ever, the entire orchestral output of the "Waltz King". Despite their
supremely high standard of musical invention, the majority of the compositions
have never before been commercially recorded and have been painstakingly
assembled from archives around the world. All performances featured in this
series are complete and, wherever possible, the works are played in their
original instrumentation as conceived by the "master orchestrator"
himself, Johann Strauss II.
[1] Prinz Methusalem (Prince Methuselah) Overture
The world première of Prinz Methusalem took place on 3 January
1877, auspiciously three years to the day after the Carl-Theater had mounted
the sensational first Viennese production of Charles Lecocq's opéra-comique, La
Fille de Madame Angot (1872), given under the title Angot, die Tochter
der Halle. Johann Strauss himself conducted the first performance of his
new operetta, while the breeches title rôle featured the popular Budapest-born
soprano Antonie Link (1853-1931), already famous for creating the role of
Fatinitza in Suppé's operetta (1876) of that name and later to gain even
greater celebrity in the title rôle of another Suppé operetta, Boccaccio (1879).
Although Johann had strewn his latest stage work with a plethora of enchanting
melodies, it did not find critical acclaim. Nevertheless, due largely to the
sterling efforts of performers including Josef Matras (1832-87), Carl Blasel
(1831-1922) and Wilhelm Knaack (1829-94), Prinz Methusalem achieved a
respectable run of 80 performances.
After an energetic introduction (nowhere traceable in the published
piano / vocal score of the operetta, and possibly comprising material discarded
from the final version of the stage work), the overture to Prinz Methusalem presents
a colourful cross-section of the most memorable themes in the three-act comic
operetta. The Andante section is provided by a phrase sung by the night-watchman
in Act 2 (No. 8) to the words "All' ihr Herrn und Frauen lasst euch sag'n",
while the Andante grazioso is from a passage sung by Pulcinella in the
Act 1 Finale (No. 7), "Von meiner Hochzeit der Schluss". The Allegretto
(in 3/8 time) which follows quotes Vulcanio's cavatine ("Du schöner
Mai der Liebelei") from the Act 1 Chorus and Ensemble (No. 2). After an Allegro
transitional passage modulating from G into F comes the Moderato martial
song "Piff! Paff! Puff! Krick! Krack! Rataplan!" from the Act
1 Ensemble (No. 6), sung first by Cyprian but featuring several times during
the ensemble. Part of the Act 3 Duet and Chorus (No. 17), to the words
"Bum! wohin er tritt" (which later appeared in the vigorous Banditen-Galopp
op. 378), provides the Allegro assai passage, while the Allegro
moderato following it is untraceable in the operetta's published piano /
vocal score. This then modulates into E flat and repeats Pulcinella's "Von
meiner Hochzeit der Schluss" used earlier. There follows a reprise
of "Piff! Paff! Puff!", but a truncated version adapted to
lead into the "Bühnen-Musik" (stage music) fanfare which, in turn,
leads into the Maestoso highlight of the overture – the Act 3
'Generalslied' (No. 18, General's Song) sung by Methuselah to the accompaniment
of the orchestra together with an off-stage band. This 8-bar phrase is then
repeated and modified to lead into an Allegretto section comprising a
continuation of the 'Generalslied' ("Millionen Bomben noch einmal",
sung by Methuselah and chorus). In typical Strauss style, however, the
overture does not end with this stately and imposing march, but instead
arpeggio and chromatic figures and an increase in tempo combine to provide the
highly effective climax at the close of the overture.
[2] Accelerationen, Walzer (Accelerations, Waltz) OP. 234
"A person who never has any ideas cannot create a waltz – whereas
operas and symphonies have in the past been written in these
Eduard Hanslick's keen observation is especially pertinent to the
inspired waltz which the younger Johann Strauss wrote for the ball of the
student engineers at Vienna University, held in the magnificent Sofienbad-Saal
ballroom on St. Valentine's Day 1860. Johann's choice of title for the new
waltz – Accelerationen – was one of the more obvious choices from the
wide vocabulary of the engineering profession, and in the work's Introduction
and opening waltz he effectively portrays the gathering momentum of a powerful
machine. The first piano edition of the work, published by Carl Haslinger on 1
June 1860, bears the composer's dedication "to the Gentlemen Students of
Engineering at Vienna University" and features a detailed cover
illustration portraying the notion of 'acceleration': Zephyrus (the Greek god
of the west wind a paddle-steamer, hot-air balloon, steam train and telegraph
The work, clearly a spontaneous idea on the part of the composer, is the
subject of an anecdote to be found in such landmarks of Strauss literature as
the biographies by Rudolph Freiherr von Procházka (1900), Erich Wilhelm Engel
(1911) and Ernst Decsey (1922). According to the story, in the early hours of
14 February 1860 an exhausted Johann was relaxing with a glass of wine after
conducting for a night-long ball at the Sofienbad-Saal. A committee member from
the Engineers' Ball approached him, enquiring whether he had completed the
waltz he had promised them for their dance festivity that very evening.
Realising he had entirely overlooked the matter, Strauss took just half an hour
to note down the waltz on the back of a menu. When this tale later came to
Johann's attention during the 1890s, he dismissed it. Although he (and Josef
Strauss) had certainly spent the entire night of 13/14 February 1860 in the
Sofienbad-Saal jointly conducting their 'Monster Ball', and while Johann was
the swiftest of the three Strauss brothers at orchestration, he said, quite
reasonably. "It may well be that I somewhere noted down the basic idea for
the work, perhaps even on the back of a menu, but even I could not write down a
waltz in the twinkling of an eye".
The waltz Accelerationen subsequently became part of the Strauss
Orchestra's standard repertoire, and rightfully maintains its place in Viennese
concerts to the present day. Much later its success even led to the publication
of a version for male voice chorus: entitled "Zeit ist Geld!" ('Time
is Money!'), this was an arrangement by Victor Keldorfer (1873-1959) with words
by Dr. Gustav Mayer. A footnote in this edition, published by Schlesingersche
Buch- & Musikhandlung of Berlin, perpetuates the anecdote of the work's
creation. In 1940, the Accelerations Waltz surfaced anew – almost
complete, but for the omission of waltz sections 4A and 5A – in Antal Dorati's
pastiche ballet, Graduation Ball, where it accompanies the opening dance
sequence, 'Introduction and Assembly of Girls'.
[3] Leichtes Blut, Polka schnell (Light of Heart, Quick Polka) Op. 319
With the 1867 Vienna Carnival over, the three Strauss brothers made
preparations to present a 'Revue' of all the dance pieces they had composed for
that year's festivities – a practice which had by now become a tradition.
Although they had written a record 24 new works – 5 by Johann, 11 by Josef, and
8 by Eduard – Johann was conscious that his own carnival offerings (which
included the Blue Danube and Artist's Life Waltzes) lacked a
quick Polka, a dance with which Josef Strauss had recently enjoyed much
success. With all speed Johann crafted a Quick polka of his own, giving it the
title Leichtes Blut, which he presented for the first time, alongside
that year's carnival novelties, at a benefit concert in the Vienna Volksgarten
on 10 March 1867.
[4] Freuet euch des Lebens, Waltz (Enjoy your life, Waltz) Op. 340
Johann Strauss dedicated his waltz Freuet euch des Lebens to
Vienna's influential Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde (Society of the Friends of
Music), and conducted its first performance at the inaugural ball in the Golden
Hall of the Society's recently opened Musikverein building on 15 January 1870.
Just ten days earlier the Austrian Emperor himself, Franz Josef I, had
ceremonially laid the keystone of this magnificent edifice, begun in 1867 to
Theophil Hansen's designs.
All three Strauss brothers, Johann, Josef and Eduard, provided
dedication compositions for the opening ball, but it is Johann's waltz which
has retained the greatest popularity. Its title echoes one of Johann's own
maxims: "Enjoy your life, and only complain when there is something
genuine to complain about".
[5] Auf der Jagd, Schnell-Polka
(At the Hunt, Quick polka) Op. 373
Generally speaking, the separate dances and marches which Johann Strauss
habitually arranged from the scores of his various operettas bore titles which
were connected, in some way, to the stage works from which their melodies were
culled. Frequently the first piano editions of these compositions bore on their
covers attractive portrayals of scenes or characters from the respective
operettas. For these reasons alone the quick polka Auf der Jagd, based
on melodies from Strauss's operetta Cagliostro in Wien ('Cagliostro in
Vienna'), remains something of a curiosity.
The first performance of Auf der Jagd took place during late
autumn 1875, probably with the composer's brother Eduard conducting the Strauss
Orchestra. According to one authority, the late Professor Fritz Racek, the
première of the polka took place in the Vienna Volksgarten on 5 October 1875,
though it has not proved possible to substantiate this claim.
[6] Donauweibchen, Walzer (Nymph of the Danube, Waltz) Op. 427
On 17 December 1887 Vienna's Theater an der Wien opened its doors to the
première of Johann Strauss's three-act stage work, Simplicius. Based on Der
abenteuerliche Simplicissimus (1669), a famous Grimmelshausen novel set at
the time of the Thirty Years War, Johann's 'serious operetta' met with little
success despite being brimful with attractive melodies. The opening night was
disrupted when one of the cast's feather plumes caught fire on a stage
gaslight, and an audience stampede was only averted when the quick-witted
Strauss signalled for a repeat of the show's hit number, the Hermit's last Act
waltz romance. "Ich denke gern zurück". Not surprisingly,
Johann's spirited orchestral waltz Donauweibchen, based on themes from
the operetta, features music form this number for its opening waltz tune. The
title stems from the refrain of the Act 3 quartet, and refers to the legendary
maiden who brings fortune to the Danube's fisheermen. Johann's Donauweibchen
Walzer was first played on 8 January 1888 at one of Eduard Strauss's Sunday
concerts in the Musikverein.
[7] Bitte schön! Polka française (If you please! French polka) Op. 372
In Act 1 of Johann Strauss's operetta Cagliostro in Wien ('Cagliostro
in Vienna'), the infamous 18th-century trickster, Alessandro Cagliostro, has
amazed a crowd of Viennese townsfolk by apparently restoring life to a corpse.
Early in Act 2, six ugly old women besiege Cagliostro's laboratory, and in a
charming sextet (No. 9) implore the miracle worker to rejuvenate them with his
patent elixir: "Bitte schön, bitte schön, o mach' uns jung, mach' uns
schön, wir bitten schön!" ("If you please, if you please, oh make us
young, make us beautiful, we beg you!") It is this sextet (which had to be
repeated at the première and which the Fremden-Blatt of 3 March 1875
called "a tripping polka of thrilling effect") which not only
provides the title for Strauss's orchestral polka on melodies from the operetta
– Bitte schön! – but also the material for its first two themes (1A and
1B). The music comprising the Trio section, however, cannot be traced in the
score of the operetta, indicating either that its source was cut from the final
version of the stage work or, most unusually, that Strauss may have composed it
anew for the orchestral dance.
To date it has not proved possible to establish the date of the first
performance of the polka Bitte schön!. Following the première of Cagliostro
in Wien at Vienna's Theater an der Wien on 27 February 1875, Johann set off
for Paris to supervise rehearsals of La Reine Indigo – the French
adaptation of his first operetta, Indigo und die vierzig Räuber – and he
may not have found time to arrange the new polka until after his return to
Vienna that May. It may be safely assumed that the Strauss Orchestra included
the new Polka française in the programmes of its summer concerts, probably
conducted by Eduard Strauss. The military bands, as ever, were swift to take
Johann's latest dances into their repertoire, and Bitte schön! was no
exception. Although Friedrich Schreiber's publishing house did not advertise
the printed editions of the polka until November 1875, they must have been
available before then, because on 8 September 1875 Josef Hellmesberger junior
(1855-1907) conducted a performance of Bitte schön! with the
Tonkünstlerkapelle, an ensemble comprising theatre musicians, at Elterlein's
Casino (formerly known as Unger's Casino) in the Viennese suburb of Hernals.
[8] Wein, Weib und Gesang! Walzer
(Wine, Woman and Song! Waltz) Op.333
Wein, Weib und Gesang! –
a particular favourite with Richard Wagner – was given its first performance by
the Wiener Männergesang-Verein at their carnival-time 'Narrenabend' ('Fools'
Evening') held in the Dianabad-Saal, Vienna, on 2 February 1869. The Strauss
Orchestra provided the accompaniment, and although the composer did not conduct
the première of his new waltz, he was present among the audience, dressed as a
pilgrim, while the members of the chorus were attired as negro slaves! Such was
the enormous success of the première that Strauss was called for after the
Introduction and each successive waltz section, whereupon he mounted the
rostrum and 'blessed" his admiring public. The new waltz was dedicated
"in friendship to Johann Ritter von Herbeck (1831-77), Imperial Royal
Court Conductor", who had served the Association as chorus-master from
1856 to 1866 and who had recently been decorated with the 'Knight's Cross of
the Order of Emperor Franz Josef, but this carnival performance was
conducted by Herbeck's successor as chorus-master, Rudolf Weinwurm. Wein,
Weib und Gesang! met with unanimous praise from the press, the general view
being summarised by the Vorstadt-Zeitung (4.02.1869) which felt it
"belongs to the best that the composer has written for a long time".
In similar vein, the Neues Wiener Tagblatt (4.02.1869) opined:
"The waltz will make its way in life and will become just as popular as
the piece 'An der schönen blauen Donau'. The Introduction is a little musical
masterwork... That the waltz had to be repeated by demand goes without
[9] Lob der Frauen, Polka-Mazurka (In Praise of Women, Polka-mazurka)
As Prussia strove for leadership of the German nation in the 19th
century, it brought her into conflict with Austria, and hostilities became
increasingly inevitable between the two great powers. The struggle to extend
their respective territories, and Austria's desire to annex to her own
dominions the province of Schleswig-Holstein, were the immediate causes of the
Austro-Prussian War of 1866.
Despite earlier victories during the campaign, the Danube Monarchy's
military defeat at Königgrätz (now Sadowa) on 3 July 1866 was both sudden and
bitter. As a consequence, Austria lost her political dominance in Europe, and
in the wake of her humiliating overthrow a shroud of depression spread across
her peoples. This disconsolate mood also suffused the following year's Vienna
Carnival, and the composers of dance music were faced with the unenviable
challenge of instilling an atmosphere of gaiety into the festivities. How
magnificently Johann Strauss responded to this situation may be seen from his
compositions for the 1867 Carnival: the waltzes By the beautiful blue Danube
Op. 314, Artist's Life Op. 316 and Telegrams Op. 318, and the
polkas Postillon d'amour Op. 317, and Leichtcs Blut Op. 319. To
this list belongs also the polka-mazurka Lob der Frauen, which Johann
and the Strauss Orchestra first presented to an enthusiastic audience in the
Vienna Volksgarten on 17 February 1867. The cover of the first piano edition of
this gallantly-entitled work bears a motto from Schiller's poem Würde der
Frauen. In translation this reads: "Honour women, they plait and weave
heavenly roses into earthly life".
[10] Napoleon-Marsch (Napoleon March) Op. 156
In the autumn of 1854 Johann Strauss came to a political decision: he
composed a march and dedicated it "in deepest reverence to his Majesty
Napoléon III [1808-73], Emperor of France [1852-70]". By this action he
took sides in a dispute which, against the background of the Crimean War, had
split the population of the Danube monarchy and, above all, of the Imperial
capital Vienna into two camps. What had led to this disharmony?
Concerned about hegemony in the Balkans and the region around the
Bosphorus, Russian troops marched into Moldavia in July 1853, whereupon Turkey,
which then had sovereignty over this region, declared war on the Tsar's empire.
Russia had tried to win the Danube monarchy's support for its policy: Tsar
Nicholas I travelled to Olmütz (today Olomouc, Czechoslovakia) and begged the
young Austrian Emperor Franz Josef to intervene in the dispute on the side of
Russia. The generals of the Imperial-Royal army were prepared to go along with
this request, but the politicians – to some extent under the influence of the
elderly Prince Metternich – opposed it, because the British and French were
uniting against Russia's action. An ambassadors' conference meeting in Vienna,
at which diplomats from Austria, Prussia, Britain and France took part, ended
on 9 April 1854 with the signing of a protocol guaranteeing Turkish territory.
Russia, Austria's ally for more than a century, would subsequently never
forgive the Habsburg monarchy for what it considered ingratitude for Russian intervention
to quell the Hungarian uprising of 1849.
As has already been said, the diplomats of the Danube monarchy took the
side of the Allies, and this opinion was shared by the majority of the Viennese
population, including the 28-year-old Johann Strauss. When – in spite of the
raging cholera epidemic – the 'French Party' organised a "Napoléon
Festival" for 12 October 1854 at Karl Schwender's casino in the suburb of
Rudolfsheim (today, the 15th District of Vienna), the Morgen-Post (12.10.1854)
announced that on this occasion Johann would conduct the Strauss Orchestra in
the first performance of a specially composed Napoleons-Fest-Marsch (Napoléon
Festival March). Three days after the celebration, on 15 October, the Wiener
Neuigkeits-Blatt published a short report on the proceedings: "Vienna,
14.10.-The popularity which Schwender's premises have achieved manifested
itself again at the grand festival which took place the day before yesterday,
which was attended by the élite of society. The 'Napoleon-Marsch' by Johann
Strauss pleased, and had to be repeated three times". That November it was
announced in the Viennese press that "his Majesty, the Emperor Napoléon
III, has been pleased to accept the dedication of the 'Napoléon March' composed
by Johann Strauss". For his part, the French monarch expressed his
gratitude to the young Viennese 'Musikdirektor' by arranging for him to be
presented with a golden pearl-topped pin.

SUFFOLK -- A Virginia Beach man was arrested Thursday for allegedly kidnapping two hunters at gunpoint last November.
Rodrigo R. Clima, 58, was charged with two counts each of abduction and kidnapping, brandishing a firearm, use or display firearm in commission of felony and reckless handling of firearm.
Police say around noon on November 30, Clima confronted two hunters at gunpoint in the 3700 block of Butler Drive.
Clima allegedly demanded the hunters unload their weapons and drop them on the ground.
There were no injuries.
Clima is currently being held without bond at Western Tidewater Regional Jail.

Stolen laptop still being backed up.
My wife's laptop was stolen a few months ago. It has Norton 360 installed. My wife got a new laptop and when she looked at her on-line back-up there are now files from the new 'owner'. We don't want to have Norton kill the account since we may be able to track the laptop down based on things this lowlife is adding to the stolen laptop. My wife changed the password on her Norton account so I am not sure how the backup is continuing to work. With the changed password will the crook be able to restore files that were backed up before or they they have to know the current password to restore files but not for them to automatically back them up?
We have turned off the backup on the new laptop and are deleting all the files that had been backed up before the laptop was stolen. We just want to make sure the creep with the stolen laptop can't restore any of our files.

Hi FenderChamp
Sorry to hear about the theft of your laptop. This falls under one of those tricky catgories. The backup will continue to work unless the product key gets invalidated. If you've already purged the content they won't be able to access any of the older data sets. The likely chance is whomever stole it sold it or gave it to an unsuspecting person. That'd explain the lack of common sense to continue backing up data afrer the machine was taken.
With the proper police involvement and legal paperwork Symantec may be able to assist in providing some information. As to what specifically is hard to say till the request is made. If you want to either send me a private message and we can take the next step or you can contact our Legal department for assistance. You will likely want to have a copy of the police report handy if you do go the Legal team route.
If you simply want to cut them off entirely contact Tier 1 and have them generate a new product key for you. Then invalidate the old one. At least that way you can use the product and not worry about anything related to the stolen machine being tied to you actively any longer.

Sundays at Murray
Local club sponsors free fly-casting clinic at lakeside seminar
"We encourage (students) to not practice for more than about 45 minutes," Sewell said. "After about 45 minutes, the law of diminishing returns sets in, and you start aching and you can't do anything right."
The Sunday seminars draw people of all ages and walks of life: doctors, lawyers, scientists, architects and football players. "You name it, we've got it as far as occupation is concerned," Sewell said.
Parents bring children as young as 8 or 9.
"It's difficult for a child under the age of 12 to have the kind of coordination that you need," Sewell said.
"But we encourage them to come because they just enjoy the heck out of frothing and beating the water with a fly rod."
People don't need to bring anything to the clinic.
Sewell said they should "just bring themselves with a willingness to ignore their instinct to throw and not be the least bit concerned about their ego."

Law of the Jungle
Without knowledge of the Ten Commandments, students and many adults increasingly are not aware of criminal law and self-defense. While public schools anxiously want to teach sex education in primary grades, they are severely lacking in basic education of theft, assault, rape, fraud as well as legal self-defense.
The arguments for a Zimmerman conviction by adults and fraud on Wall Street underscore the need for basic ethics and law to be taught beginning at the grade school level. Otherwise, our society is heading for the "Law of the Jungle."

Nicola Filotesio
Nicola Filotesio (9 September 1480 [differing sources give 1489]—31 August 1547 [sources also give 1559]) was an Italian painter, architect and sculptor of the Renaissance period, active primarily in or near the town of Ascoli Piceno (modern capital of Ascoli Piceno Province in the Marche region).
A native of the town of Amatrice in the Papal State of Latium (modern neighboring Province of Rieti in the Lazio region), Nicola Filotesio also appears in contemporary records as Cola dell'Amatrice or Cola Amatricius. The son of Mariano Filotesio, he trained with Dionisio Cappelli, painted frescoes at Città di Castello and completed, between 1514 and 1535, works of art in Ascoli Piceno.
The date and place of Nicola Filotesio's birth have been historically recorded, but the year has varied within a nine-year period, having been variously indicated as 1480 and 1489. Similarly, the date of his death and the place (Ascoli Piceno) are on record, but the year has varied within a twelve-year range, being given as 1547 or 1559.[1]

Some Low-Income South Dakotans Can't Get Affordable Care Or Medicaid
Signing up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act is fairly simple. The website seems to be functioning now, and if you're computer-literate or have good help, creating an account and shopping for insurance is doable. At least, that's the experience SDPB's Victoria Wicks had when she went through the process. But as she learned while researching the marketplace, not all low-income applicants qualify for subsidies. There's a gap in coverage for certain low income people in South Dakota, created where state and federal governments collide.

The teaser poster of Jackie Shroff's son Tiger's debut film, Heropanti, is out. And it does exactly what it says — tease.
The poster shows Tiger Shroff lying on a super cool bike wearing jeans and a sleeveless denim jacket. The hunk shows off his chiselled body and well-built arms as he covers his face with a hat.
Tiger has worked hard to get the look right for the film. He has also been training for martial arts for his role in the film.
According to a report in a leading daily, the debutante actor said, "The action and dance are a big part of the script. I've been training really hard for those. And I don't need to unlearn those skills. But yes, there are a lot of new things I need to learn for the role."
The poster also announces the release date of the film's first look. It says that the trailer will be out on April 4. And guess who will unveil the trailer, none other than superstar Aaamir Khan.
If reports are to be believed, Aamir will also introduce Tiger to the media.
Directed by Sabbir Khan, Heropanti is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The film is the launchpad of debutante actors Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon. Heropanti will release on May 23.
Interestingly, Jackie Shroff's debuted with a film titled Hero. The connection doesn't end here. It is said that the signature tune from Hero has been contemporarised for Tiger's film.
With the release of this film, Bollywood will see another star son making a dhamakedaar entry into Bollywood, but non-star kids like Sidharth Malhotra, Ranveer Singh, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sushant Singh Rajput upping the game, it remains to be seen if this star son manages to keep his shine in the film industry.

One minute it's Doc Rivers. Then, it's Doc Rivers, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.
And just when you're finished digesting that, it's Chris Paul and Dwight Howard, texting back and forth about teaming up.
So far this NBA offseason, the Clippers have been the subject of rumor after rumor, some more plausible than others.
Today's batch, like most, only makes sense on the surface.
In addition to being the setting for one out of every three heist movies released, Boston has also been a city unwilling to bottom out because of a remarkable run of sports successes. The Red Sox, the Patriots, the Bruins and the Celtics have all won rings in the past decade.
Understandably, the city, and more importantly, ownership now expects winners. In the Celtics case, one more run at a title was probably two years ago. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce are both still effective players, but they're not as consistent as they were.
With their stars aging, some people involved with the Celtics want to strip the roster for parts and re-build. Others, though, aren't so convinced.
That back-and-forth haggling has Rivers seeming unsure about his future with the Celtics. Trouble is he has three years and $21 million left on his contract. If Rivers walks and takes another job, you'd think someone would have to match that money.
Let's assume the money isn't an issue for Rivers and he resigns. Then of course the Clippers would want Rivers as their coach – only a handful of teams in the NBA wouldn't view him as an upgrade.
Now for the next layer of the Celtics-Clippers rumor. First, the Clippers would have to trade for Garnett. That probably means sending at least DeAndre Jordan to the Celtics. Maybe the asking price is even higher with Boston asking for Eric Bledsoe and/or draft picks.
That's a lot to give up for a 37-year-old big man with creaky bones and joints.
Pierce is even more complicated because of the nearly $17 million he's set to make. That number makes him almost untradeable, but Pierce's deal is only partially guaranteed. The Celtics could buy him out or trade him for spare parts to a team that's willing to buy him out. If that happened, then he'd become a free agent and then the Clippers could pounce.
A ton of things would have to go right for the Clippers to become Celtics West. That doesn't mean the Clippers' front office isn't interested. It just means that it's tricky.

Financial Management:
Challenges Remain in Meeting Requirements of the Improper Payments Information Act
GAO-06-482T: Published: Mar 9, 2006. Publicly Released: Mar 9, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Improper payments are a longstanding, widespread, and significant problem in the federal government. The Congress enacted the Improper Payments Information Act of 2002 (IPIA) to address this issue. Fiscal year 2005 marked the second year that federal agencies governmentwide were required to report improper payment information under IPIA. One result of IPIA has been increased visibility over improper payments by requiring federal agencies to identify programs and activities susceptible to improper payments, estimate the amount of their improper payments, and report on the amounts of improper payments and their actions to reduce them in their annual performance and accountability reports (PAR). GAO was asked to testify on the progress being made by agencies in complying with requirements of IPIA and the magnitude of improper payments. As part of the review, GAO looked at (1) the extent to which agencies have performed risk assessments, (2) the annual amount of improper payments estimated, and (3) the amount of improper payments recouped through recovery audits.
The federal government continues to make progress in identifying programs susceptible to the risk of improper payments in addressing the new IPIA requirements. At the same time, significant challenges remain to effectively achieve the goals of IPIA. The 32 fiscal year 2005 PARs GAO reviewed show that some agencies still have not instituted systematic methods of reviewing all programs and activities, have not identified all programs susceptible to significant improper payments, or have not annually estimated improper payments for their high-risk programs as required by the act. The full magnitude of the problem remains unknown because some agencies have not yet prepared estimates of improper payments for all of their programs. Of the 32 agencies reviewed, 18 reported over $38 billion of improper payments in 57 programs. This represented almost a $7 billion, or 16 percent, decrease in the amount of improper payments reported by 17 agencies in fiscal year 2004. However, the governmentwide improper payments estimate does not include 7 major agency programs with outlays totaling about $228 billion. Further, agency auditors have identified major management challenges related to agencies' improper payment estimating methodologies and significant internal control weaknesses for programs susceptible to significant improper payments. In addition, two agency auditors cited noncompliance with IPIA in their annual audit reports. For fiscal year 2005 PARs, agencies that entered into contracts with a total value exceeding $500 million annually were required to report additional information on their recovery audit efforts. Nineteen agencies reported reviewing over $300 billion in vendor payments, identifying approximately $557 million to be recovered, and actually recovering about $467 million.

I love these. They are just the right size for getting those little nails cut on the kittens but not too small that you can't cut large adult nails. They also seem to have stayed pretty sharp despite lots of use.
Pros: good for small nails
Cons: easy to lose

I found this article with tips for speeding up firefox, ive done it and it seems ok! definatly no worse and faster for some pages...
Basically this is what u do:
This tip will speed up your Firefox significantly, but will mainly work for broadband users. To achieve this speed increase you need to alter certain settings of Firefox to speed up page requests and the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. To edit these preferences you need to open the configuration page of Firefox by typing the following into the address bar:
This will bring up a long list of Preferences. You can filter them by typing:
You will need to make 3 changes and one addition to the preferences:
* Find network.http.pipelining and click on it to turn it's value from false to true.
* Find network.http.proxy.pipelining and click on it to turn it's value from false to true.
* Find network.http.pipelining.maxrequest and change it's value to 30.
* Finally you will need to add an extra preference. You can do that by CTRL-Clicking in an empty area and selecting New/Integer from the contextual menu. Enter the name in a pop-up window: nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set it's value to O.
Restart Firefox and enjoy!

Slum Village, Rapper Big Pooh, J.Pinder & GoDreamer - Turn Around
Artist: Slum Village
Featuring: Rapper Big Pooh, J. Pinder, Go Dreamer
Producer: The Flush
Album: Stankonia Sessions: A3C Edition 2012
Avg Rating: 2.3 ( 9 votes )
Swisha and The Sparks, the previous song releases off SMKA and The Flush's forthcoming A3C compilation, featured a formidable selection of the game's most notable emerging talents. For third single Turn Around, however, they flip the script, stacking the lineup with storied industry vets. The Flush take their turn behind the boards, creating a lightly funky, spaced out synth backdrop for self-assured rhymes from legendary Motown crew Slum Village, as well as the lyrical stylings of Little Brother alumnus Rapper Big Pooh. Returning from Swisha, former Hollyweerd emcee GoDreamer reps for rap's advance guard on the back, and singer J. Pinder completes the cut with some mellow chorus vocals. Stankonia Sessions: A3C Edition 2012 has yet to receive a drop date, but fans can stay tuned to The DJBooth for all the latest on the TrillHD-presented project.
