Manchester City Council have started an e-Petition scheme. Anybody living in Manchester who might have an issue they want to raise or change they want to see in their community can start a petition online. This is an alternative to the traditional paper petitions and it is easier to reach a wider audience and gain more supporters for your campaign. It is possible to search through existing petitions to see if there is any already online which you would like to add your support to. Technology is become more and more frequently used even when looking at issues which affect just one community. As more people have access to technology and the internet it becomes more logical to have petitions like these online rather than on paper. People are able to have their voice on local issues and their feelings to be shared to anyone with access to the internet.

HMS Reliance was a discovery vessel of the Royal Navy. She became famous as one of the ships commanded by Matthew Flinders during his explorations around the Australian coast, and went on to take an active part in the early exploration of the southern Pacific islands.
She sailed to New South Wales, arriving in Sydney on September 7, 1795. Among her crew and passengers were George Bass, the ship's doctor, the new Governor John Hunter, and the Aboriginal Bennelong. She later returned to Sydney, arriving on June 26, 1797 from the Cape of Good Hope, carrying stores ordered by Governor Hunter and merino sheep imported by John Macarthur.
HMS Reliance was the first ship to chart the Antipodes Islands, in March 1800 by Captain Henry Waterhouse. Reliance was relegated to harbour service that year, surviving for another 15 years before being sold on 12 October 1815.

Whoopi Goldberg misses Elisabeth Hasselbeck, doesn't let Sharon Osbourne's comments bother herAdd to Favorites | The View
Actress/comedian Whoopi Goldberg stopped by "The Wendy Williams Show" Friday (Nov. 29), where the "View" co-host talked about her fellow round-table ladies, including new co-host Jenny McCarthy.
"I miss Elisabeth a lot, I miss Joy a lot," says Goldberg. "But I have to tell you, I'm having a great deal of fun with Jenny McCarthy. It took me a minute. It was kind of startling to have started something with two folks and to become tight with them, especially with Lizzie because she and I got along. We talked about interesting stuff. We didn't always agree, but that's what friends do. ... Then [Jenny] started tickling me. Not tickling-tickling, but ... I just find her really sweet and refreshing."
Whoopi also mentions the incident with "The Talk" ladies, when Sharon Osbourne had some choice words for "The View" on Arsenio Hall.
"It happens. I won't speak for anybody but me. But I have stepped in it many times. I have said things where you think two minutes later, 'You know, that was really dumb.' ... Child, please. If I cried every time somebody said something rough about me, I'd be nothing but water," says Goldberg.
Whoopi also says that she has two "bucket list" items -- "I want to do two things -- I want to become an ambassador to a country ... and the other thing is I'd like to meet this new pope. I'm very interested in Pope Francis."

To compete on the basis of value, organizations must take a balanced approach, both to reducing costs and to improving quality outcomes.
As a body, conference participants concluded that healthcare does not suffer from a lack of innovative skill or expertise. The question, rather, is whether that energy and expertise are being directed to solve the right problems. The prevailing view, also observed in the survey, was that the pursuit of misguided objectives reflects a broader lack of value-based competition in healthcare.
Donald M. Berwick, MD, President Emeritus and Senior Fellow, Institute for Healthcare Improvement, asked his audience to reconsider their basic assumptions regarding healthcare delivery. As a metaphor, Berwick offered the Choluteca River Bridge in Honduras. While its construction was of sufficient strength to endure Hurricane Mitchell in 1998, its design proved irrelevant: Over time, the river shifted away from the structure, leaving it a literal bridge to nowhere. Likewise, Berwick suggested, we are currently invested in maintaining a legacy system of healthcare delivery and financing that no longer "bridges" our needs. Drawing on examples in Alaska, New Mexico, and Sweden, Berwick advocated for innovations that changed the process of distributing care, rather than on making further investments that concentrated expertise in expensive, centralized locations.
Michael E. Porter, Bishop William Lawrence University Professor, Harvard University, placed the challenge within a broader context, observing that, "Competition as it has been historically structured in most healthcare systems around the world has not really been aligned with value. What it takes to be successful for a provider is not tightly connected to what it takes to be successful for the patient." To align provider and patient interests, Porter proposed a multipoint agenda encouraging providers to create integrated practice units organized around the needs of patients rather than specialized providers, and measure outcomes "over the cycle of care," applying the lessons learned at specific sites to larger geographic regions.

Care coordination is essential for ensuring health and wellness and for achieving the overall goal of increased value.
In a system with so many moving parts, it can be difficult to coordinate the multiple touchpoints of a patient's experience within a more coherent approach to create or sustain wellness. Christopher A. Viehbacher, CEO, Sanofi, raised the issue of fragmentation as a way of broadening the context for drug and device development. "I think there has to be a rethinking of healthcare," he said. "If you think about how healthcare is delivered, it's on an ad hoc basis. Someone comes into a hospital, someone comes into a pharmacy, someone comes into a doctor. But beyond those touchpoints, the patients are on their own. There's no real continuity of care."
Lonny Reisman, MD, Senior Vice President and CMO at Aetna, drew attention to a shift in responsibilities that must be met with a shift in focus from discrete activities to overall results. Reisman noted that not only were healthcare costs rising three times faster than the rate of inflation, but that employees also have been absorbing a greater share of the burden. Since 2007, the annual rate of increased costs for employees has risen 50 percent faster than the rate of costs for employers.
Reisman noted that shifting financial responsibility to the consumer, in itself, fails to address the underlying cause of accelerating health costs: incentives that stimulate a growing volume of care without necessarily contributing to value. "What we cope with as an insurer," said Reisman, "is the notion of people getting paid more for doing more 'stuff ' whether or not that actually contributes to better clinical outcomes."
< Previous
Next >
The industry must develop and share information about disease mechanisms and validated cellular targets to reduce redundant effort and to increase the chances of meaningful innovation.
Reisman's comments initiated a conversation about the need for comprehensive data about medical outcomes that could inform effective decision making by consumers. Other panelists took the idea further, arguing that high-quality outcome information was a necessity not just for healthcare consumers, but for the creators of new drugs and devices as well. The path to an innovative solution requires an understanding of disease mechanisms and validated targets.
Multiple panelists and participants expressed concern about the time and expense necessary to move promising therapies through the clinical trials process, noting that current U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations impose obstacles that discourage investors and innovators. Eric S. Lander, President and Founding Director, The Eli and Edythe L. Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, asked conference participants to reconsider the entire context of life sciences development. In his presentation, Lander said, "Really efficacious drugs don't require huge clinical trials. Why aren't we able to make drugs that are really efficacious rather than trying to demonstrate just a couple of percent benefit?"
– Eric S. LanderPresident and Founding Director, The Eli and Edythe L. Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT
The group noted that basic knowledge, especially of the genome, has exploded over the previous ten years and that gene sequencing has become much cheaper as well. However, further discussion revealed that there are not good systems for developing validated targets and that targets are highly unlikely to be shared across organizations. Some suggested that in order to share targets consortia should be created, similar to what the semiconductor industry created in the 1980s and 1990s. If done correctly, this would create a critical mass of validated targets open to all, while preserving individual molecules as patentable intellectual property. The goal: an infrastructure that makes knowledge easily exchangeable.
Barbara J. McNeil, MD, Ridley Watts Professor at Harvard Medical School, underscored the important role that academic researchers can play in these collaborative efforts. "University investigators can play a key role in fostering innovation in a number of areas," she said. "These range from developing new targets for drug discovery to working with others to develop disease-specific consortia, and finally to testing innovative products in pivotal clinical trials. Further along in the care pathway, they can use their clinical expertise to design and evaluate new approaches to the financing and delivering of healthcare, particularly coordinated care."

"Carabiner," Bolton said. "Carabiner, carabiner, carabiner."
"What are you doing?" Mintly asked.
"Just saying the word 'carabiner' over and over," Bolton replied.
"I can hear that. Why?"
"Because the word is different.You know how when you say a word over and over it loses its meaning?"
"Carabiner doesn't. Try it. I can say the word a hundred times and it still makes sense."
Mintly stared at Bolton for a while then looked down at the massive pool of sharks below their cage.
"I can't deal with you right now," Mintly said. "You're an idiot."
Bolton shrugged. "Carabiner, carabiner, carabiner…"
Disclaimer: Everything changes, but it always stays the same.
New Release!
That's right, folks! Kaiju Winter is here!
What is Kaiju Winter? It's the first novel in my The End Of The World As We Know It (TEOTWAWKI) giant monster series! That's right, GIANT MONSTERS! Oh, and a super volcano ready to rip North America apart. And psycho militias! And crazy stalkers! Convicted murderers! US Marshals! Navy SEALs! Scientists! Delta Force! AND GIANT MONSTERS!
Here, read the description:
The Yellowstone super volcano has begun to erupt, sending North America into chaos and the rest of the world into panic. People are dangerous and desperate to escape the oncoming mega-eruption, knowing it will plunge the continent, and the world, into a perpetual ashen winter. But no matter how ready humanity is, nothing can prepare them for what comes out of the ash: Kaiju!
Now, you can't tell me that description doesn't make you tingly and warm in your tingly and warm places. Cause if you told me that you'd be lyin'! LYIN'!
Here, just to show the level of awesome this book has, I'll insert another pic of the cover. But this time it will be GIANT! JUST LIKE THE MONSTERS!
Z-Burbia 2: Parkway To Hell is here!
Hey, kids! Look at all the beautiful leaves. And that view, wow! Just wow! It sure is spectacular up here on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Don't you think, kids? Kids? Kids…what are you doing to Mommy? And what's all that red…stuff… OH DEAR GOD!
Yes, folks, Z-Burbia 2: Parkway To Hell is live and ready for your eyeholes to read its undead goodness! UNDEAD GOODNESS!
Z-Burbia has been in the Amazon charts for a month now, which is pretty, pretty, pretty cool. Hopefully fans that picked that one up will pick up Z-Burbia 2! It continues the story of Jason "Jace" Stanford and his struggle to keep that suburban dream even in the face of the zombie apocalypse. It also expands the scope of the setting and brings way more of Asheville and Western North Carolina into the story.
But don't take my word for it, here's the official description:
"The Grove Park Inn.
From the early 1900s right up to Z-Day, the Grove Park Inn was the place for the affluent to stay when vacationing in Asheville, NC. Everyone from F. Scott Fitzgerald to President Barak Obama stayed at the Grove Park. Artists, actors, diplomats, masters of industry, all called it a temporary home at one point or another. But that was before the zombie apocalypse.
Now the five story stone, brick, and wood luxury inn is home to a different element. An unknown element. A heavily armed element.
With Whispering Pines being rebuilt, Jace "Long Pork" Stanford has nothing better to do than find out who the newcomers are. Well, while he's not busy dealing with the ever present Z hordes. Or running for his life from paramilitary mercenaries. Or possibly blowing up more of the zombie infested city because he can't help pressing buttons. Buttons are meant to be pressed, even in the apocalypse, right?
Looks like it's just another day in Z-Burbia!"
Sounds great, right? RIGHT? Right…that's what I thought. ;) Winky face!
So get yourself over to Amazon and snag a copy of Z-Burbia 2: Parkway To Hell! You'll want to get this one so you are ready for Z-Burbia 3: Estate of the Dead when it comes out! OH, YEAH!!!

Developing non-gambling sites and Social Marketing
Random Thoughts on Developing non-poker sites and Social Marketing
As some of you may know, I have not touched my poker sites since Black Friday. I haven't because there is no certainty on how many will be made from poker and don't want to promote outside USA. If it goes on longer, I will try to get foothold in other countries. For now, I've decided to develop non poker sites and just do some high stakes poker coverage instead of going full blast. One of the big reasons is budget – I don't have any. Black Friday devastated me and I lost some 3000 domain names.
Back in the days of Myspace, one could buy a bot and add thousands of people a day. Then you could have the bot post banners in people comments etc etc. Recently, I bought a Twitter bot and the account was frozen within one hour and it wasn't even set to add that many people. Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks have bot counter measures in effect, so this doesn't work that well anymore. I decided to start pages on Facebook and add friends to it instead. Well, only some friends would join my pages, so I ran one ad to test it. I spent $8.00 and got 430 likes on my Martial Arts Training Guide page. This seems really easy… But how to monetize that page and not get booted from Facebook? I think the best idea would be to simply develop a martial arts website and every other post I make, I post link to my story or video that's on my website. Instead of posting a video to YouTube, I embed the video on Facebook, then link to my martial arts forum. I figure if I advertise and spend $800.00 I can get 40,000 likes on my Facebook page. So, essentially I'm paying Facebook to get internal traffic – It's good to be the king. But really, I'm paying them to be able to spam my sites and interact with their loyal database of users all while effectively targeting future users for my sites. The ultimate goal would be to sell ad space on my martial arts forum after I build up huge amounts of traffic.
I still have to look up the guidelines for Gambling pages. I know at least a year ago they wanted 50k a month minimum for advertising gambling related websites. This is way beyond my budget so that's why I decided to go after another industry for now.
As I posted yesterday, I am working on my poker sites again, so expect to hear more from me!Outsource your programming for less.


text: The Summoning wiki last edited by samanthademeste on 01/23/15 06:58PM View full history A strategic aid in many RPGs. a monster or demon is summoned to deal a large amount of damage or debuffs to the opponent, or to bless companions with buffs.Appearances:Titan Quest - 2006 - PC:The Core Dweller from Titan QuestUnlike many other action RPGs, Titan Quest's approach to summoning is focused more on quality over quantity. Most spell casting classes have access to one or two powerful summoned creatures who, after being summoned, remain by the player's side until they die. With very few exceptions, there are no time limits to how long a summoned creature my remain in play ao long as they have health. These creatures range from wolves, who fight primary via melee attacks, to undead litches, who cast life leaching spells and have powerful auras, to nearly untouchable will-o-wisps. The cheif downsides to summoning though are that you can typically only summon one copy of each creature at a time and they usually require a very hefty investment of skill points to maximize their effectiveness.

Tawila — Citizens from Tawila locality, North Darfur, have complained about scarcity and lack of medicine due to the restrictions imposed by government authorities on bringing medicine from El Fasher. Besides, the citizens complained about the deterioration of health services in the region.
A number of patients from Tawila complained to Radio Dabanga about the scarcity and lack of medicine in addition to the poor health services being offered in the region. They revealed that the locality's only health center, which is managed by Doctors Without Borders, receives more than 300 patients a day. It was added that the center's staff informed patients that the authorities only allows them to bring medicine from El Fasher once every three months and that the medicine runs out in less than a month.
People resort to traditional treatment instead, they said and revealed that many patients have died due to a lack of medicine. Citizens from Tawila appealed to the authorities to allow shipments of medicine from El Fasher each month or to supply the locality with enough medicine for one year.

Women's Show-CHRISTINE AHN of FOOD FIRST. FTAA.
Christine Ahn. Christine is the editor of the latest book from Food First, ââ¬ÅShaftedââ¬?. Shafted is the unspoken truth of free tradeââ¬â¢s devastation on workerââ¬â¢s lives told by those who know first-hand: small family farmers, farm workers, fisherfolk, industrial and textile workers. The personal stories are supplemented with expert testimony from researchers and policy makers who have studied free tradeââ¬â¢s economic and social impacts. For example, since NAFTA, more than half of all employers, and 71% of all manufacturers threatened to close operations when faced with a union organizing drive. Typically, union workers who lose manufacturing jobs find new work that pays only 70% of their former salary.
She is the Economic and Social Human Rights Program Coordinator at Food First Institute for Food and Development Policy. She writes and speaks frequently on human rights, poverty, hunger, trade, and globalization. Christine has worked with grassroots organizations in Denver, Colorado and Washington, DC; on the Navajo Reservation and the U.S. Mexico border; and in Kingston, Jamaica. She was inducted this fall as a ââ¬ÅRising Starââ¬? into the OMB Watch Public Interest Hall of Fame.
This Saturday, November 15, the Womenââ¬â¢s Show ââ¬â ââ¬ÅFrom a Womanââ¬â¢s Point of Viewââ¬? will focus on the FTAA: what it is and what it means. Some call it ââ¬ÅNAFTA on steroids.ââ¬? Mary will interview Christine Ahn of Food First, editor of the book, ââ¬ÅShaftedââ¬?, and Jennifer Elizabeth Kreisberg of Ulali. Talking about the FTAA coupled with Ulali -- pursuing their indigenous roots through their songs and talent, one is aware that the majority of the world does not find its roots in western culture or tradition. The question today is ââ¬ÅDo any of us find our roots in corporate structure? Are we all indigenous?ââ¬? Many feel the single most compelling driving force of social and political values in the world is corporately driven.comments powered by Disqus

FOR several years, hard-core scientific magazines have brought us weekly updates on the latest triumphs of structural biology. Striking pictures in garish colours reveal the atomic contortions of the key molecules of life.
David Goodsell works at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, one of the centres that has powered this movement. Unlike the rest of us, he has taken time out from this breathless exercise to stand back and craft a coherent synthesis of structural biology. The result is a remarkable, carefully worked narrative that leads the reader through the key molecular processes of life.
Perhaps the most outstanding things about the book are those it eschews. Goodsell does not try to explain the mathematical basis for the techniques used to produce the results; he does not ...

'The Way, Way Back': Watch the 'Community' cast audition for Jim Rash and Nat FaxonAdd to Favorites | Community
When "The Way, Way Back" premiered at Sundance, it was a hit. The film, starring Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Allison Janney, Sam Rockwell and Maya Rudolph, follows 14-year-old Duncan ( Liam James, "The Killing") as he comes of age on a summer vacation with his mom (Collette) and her awful boyfriend (Carell). The stacked cast may seem like an achievement, but it was a long road there for co-writers and first-time directors Jim Rash and Nat Faxon.
As revealed in this newly-released clip of the audition process, Rash's "Community" co-stars Joel McHale, Danny Pudi, Gillian Jacobs and Yvette Nicole Brown, along with Will Forte ("SNL") each sought out a part in the film. Things did not go especially well for any of them.
Be sure to watch the very funny video above and let us know whose audition you thought was the best/worst.
"The Way, Way Back" opens July 5, 2013.

it an advance warning and let's just put it this way – I've got the fever. In all my preparation for
Trinidad & Tobago's greatest fete (notes to follow at the top of the season), I have forgotten some of the
other great Carnival destinations like Brazil. Funny thing about it though is many Brazilians are making claims to skip
out on their own festivities for those happening in TnT due to the country's qualifying for the href="http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/">06' World Cup. So no matter which of
the two you decide to jump, wine, and parade in the streets of, it's guaranteed madness!
Shifting the focus back onto Brazil, I've hand plucked a web site perfect for those planning to line the

offers a slew of information on the event in both Rio and Bahia. Packages provide party passes, VIP access to the

The Namibia Manufacturers Association (NMA) will hold its first ever annual Manufacturer of the Year awards on June 20 this year, board chairperson Brian Black announced during a press briefing in Windhoek on Wednesday.
The awards will recognise and reward Namibian manufacturers who during the past years went the extra mile in putting the country on the map of international manufacturers. The awards aim to enhance awareness of Namibian products and to promote the need for more local manufacturing activities.
The manufacturing association has 142 members who represent approximately 30 000 employees in the Namibian manufacturing sector, ranging from textiles and food, to beverages and wood products, just to name a few.
Chief Executive Officer of NMA, Ronnie Varkevisser, said one of the major challenges facing Namibian manufacturers is local procurement and getting retailers to stock local products. However, he gave assurances that the NMA has engaged government and retailers to look into the matter.
Black emphasised the importance of buying Namibian products, saying that is the only way to ensure that profits remain in the country. He said one of the challenges for Namibian manufacturers is to produce cost effective products, since most raw materials are imported into the country. "They have to be able to compete with other products in the market," he said.
Transport costs and export levies also hamper local manufacturers and as a result, the export of Namibian salt to Brazil is at a standstill, according to Varkevisser. Also, production volumes that do not meet buyers' expectations are also a serious challenge that manufacturers face. The NMA represents local manufacturers by facilitating a sustainable, competitive and prosperous manufacturing industry and therefore found it necessary to honour and acknowledge its members on a national platform.
Its other role is to discuss and negotiate with government, other sectors of the business world and foreign investors, as well as to assist with foreign trade negotiations, according to Black. To participate in the Manufacturer of the Year awards members must have paid their membership fees and demonstrated leadership, business and product excellence, sustainability in manufacturing, as well as making a difference in the public perception of manufacturing in Namibia.
The awards have six categories: The Corporate Manufacturer of the Year, the Small and Medium Size Enterprise (SME) Manufacturer of the Year, the New Manufacturer of the Year, the Innovator and Designer of the Year, the Ambassador for Manufacturing and the Most Environmentally Friendly Manufacturer.
A panel of judges will in addition select the overall winner, which is the NMA Manufacturer of the Year. The closing date for all entries is May 17.

"One man goes down, another man must step up."
The old saying is not quite accurate when relating it to the Knicks current plight. For this squad, the mantra may as well be, "Three men go down, one man must step up".
With the Knicks in a tight race for the division title, the team desperately needed the man it signed to two 10-day contracts to fill the shoes of Tyson Chandler, Amar'e Stoudemire, and Kurt Thomas.
Kenyon Martin quickly emerged as an essential piece of the puzzle due to New York's injury woes. Head coach Mike Woodson was forced to place Martin in the starting lineup on a sunny Sunday matinee game against the Clippers while Chandler moved to the inactive list with a sore neck. While the Knicks suffered a loss in LaLa Land last Sunday, Martin's performance foreshadowed the next four outings for the versatile big man.
In Utah the following night, the former No. 1 overall pick joined forces with 40-year old Kurt Thomas to silence the deep and talented frontcourt for the Jazz. Martin finished with nine points and nine boards in New York's lone victory on the long trip out west.
Over the next three games, Martin sparkled at the center position alongside a spry Carmelo Anthony, who returned to the lineup against the Magic on Wednesday evening at the Garden. Martin was a stable force as the Knicks cruised to another win.
The back-to-back set against the Raptors allowed Martin to really flourish north of the border and in New York City. In Toronto, Martin looked like the Nets version of K-Mart with a highly efficient 19 points on 9-for-10 shooting from the floor. He added 11 boards to the box score in 36 minutes and the Knicks registered their first win over the Raptors this season.
In the victory, Martin's timing was impeccable -- trailing plays, finishing pick-and-rolls, and rising high for alley-oop and putback dunks. On consecutive possessions, Martin connected on buckets in the paint off feeds from Raymond Felton to extend New York's lead to seven points with less than five minutes remaining in the contest. Those crucial buckets and a Felton 3-ball vaulted New York over Toronto in a much needed win.
Inside the locker room at Air Canada Centre, Martin's former teammate in New Jersey Jason Kidd summed it up best, "If we didn't have him, we would be in trouble right now."
During both contests against Toronto, Martin reflected his reputation as a top notch defender capable of defending positions one through five. Specifically, he had to defend the Raptors 7-footer Jonas Valanciunas in a direct matchup and switch on screens to guard the bevy of swingmen for Toronto.
Anthony reacted to the performances of his new running mate in the frontcourt, "For him to come on and take the role with Tyson being out and filling that void right now and you can see he is getting his legs back underneath him. You know, he is getting in shape, he means a lot to this team and we need him down the stretch."
On Saturday night, the MSG crowd received a little taste of Martin's explosiveness when he scored seven points in the final two and a half minutes of the second quarter. Martin smashed jams, hung on the rim, and left the New York fans in a frenzy heading into the locker room.
"Just tried to stay ready," Martin preached. "It's a blessing to be back playing and just trying to stay ready once there was an opportunity for me to play – it's unfortunate it had to come because of injury."
In the last three games, Martin has provided the spark by averaging 15.7 points and seven rebounds. Chandler's return is just around the corner and now New York owns some depth and options along the frontline. The cumulative effect of Martin's box score totals and momentum shifting plays have become a blessing in disguise for the suddenly surging Knicks.

A formidable villain threatens Po's (Jack Black) new life of awesomeness by conquering China.
Movie Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes®
" The freshness and novelty that made the original film such a kick back in 2008 has been, well, kicked to bits. "
" What really makes the film work... is director Yuh's sense of timing. She knows how to get in and out of a joke before beating it to death. A quick Pac-Man reference during a chase comes and goes, delighting without ever dragging. "
" Jack Black once again shows his excellence as a voice actor. "
" Alas, this time there are about three or four mild laughs in the whole picture, and the entire visual aspect of the movie is a botched disappointment. "
" A solid slice of summer entertainment: forgettable, perhaps, but plenty of fun while it lasts. "
" Po and friends redeem themselves with a terrific third act, the animation (in three distinct styles) is superb and there's enough hiii-YA-ing to keep the kids yipping throughout. "
" Hardly a scene goes by that isn't visually striking or kinetically thrilling, and all of it enhanced by 3-D. "
" Nearly matches the original in charm and kicks. "
" Black's Po manages to retain his requisite bumptiousness while also making a credible action hero. "
" It may not tread new narrative ground, but Panda echoes some worthy tales that parents heard a long time ago at a theater far, far away. "
" No, we're not talking about Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter, although it does feel that way early on in the animated Kung Fu Panda 2. "
" The film's visuals are thrilling, beguiling, vivid: the greens of a glade or a terraced hillside; the molten reds of Shen's smelting works or yellow-orange arcs of fireworks. "
" The animation is elegant, the story is much more involving than in the original, and there's boundless energy. "
" For a movie touting "inner peace," this 3-D sequel sure goes in for its share of battle scenes, but for the most part they are excitingly conceived by director Jennifer Yuh Nelson and her writers, Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger. "
" With its mix of vibrant CG and classical elements, the movie dazzles. "
" Director Jennifer Yuh Nelson's true cannon fist is how seamlessly "Panda's" wild skirmishes mesh with its eloquent narrative, even if there are less pauses for reflection this time 'round. "
" Like that kung pao chicken at the back of your fridge, none of it's quite as crisp the second time around. "
" The kinder, gentler Kung Fu Panda 2 will surely try the patience of older children and fun-seeking parents. "
" A breezy, funny, touching, action-packed sequel. "
" Has a bright palette, an amiable vibe and enough vivacity to keep kids entertained and any accompanying moms from bolting for Bridesmaids. "

Digital Wireless back-up camera and monitor
October 15, 2014
Reviewer: Fred from Hartland, WI United States
I purchased the back-up camera because our Rav4 has darkly tinted glass and it was almost impossible to see when backing up in the dark. After researching the available units on the internet, Yada's camera and monitor seemed to offer the best features for our needs. It did not disappoint. When the ignition is turned on, the monitor lights up. Moments after the shifter is placed into the reverse position, a view to the rear of the vehicle is displayed. I am pleased with the clarity of the picture. I was especially impressed with the performance of the camera at night. Our only issue is that the spare tire partially blocks the right side of the viewing area because the camera cannot be centered on the Rav4.

This is an excellent back-up wireless video cam, works great & easy to install. People giving this product bad reviews are not installing them correctly. It took me less than 15 minutes. I installed it on my GMC Sierrra.

Florida's Walton to Lead NPF's USSSA Pride
GAINESVILLE, Fla - University of Florida head softball coach Tim Walton was named the head coach of the National Professional FastPitch's (NPF) USSSA Florida Pride. In addition to his duties at Florida, Walton will coach the 2010 pro team as the schedule runs through the summer.
"I am grateful to Mr. Don DeDonatis for this opportunity," Walton said of the Pride's owner and
general manager. "I also want to thank UF Athletics Director Jeremy Foley for allowing me to
be involved with the Pride this summer while also attending to my duties at Florida."
In his fifth year at UF, Walton is the winningest coach in program history, tallying a 262-64
(.804) record with the Gators. Getting his start at Wichita State, he is 386-128 (.751) in his
eighth career season. He coached the Gators to the Women's College World Series twice,
including a trip to the championship series, brought home two Southeastern Conference
regular-season and tournament titles and earned SEC Coach of the Year twice. UF has made
the NCAA Tournament every year of his tenure and hosted Regionals all four times. He has
coached 12 All-Americans, 14 NFCA All-Southeast Region honorees, 18 All-SEC selections, two
SEC Pitchers of the Year and a Player of the Year and the UF coaching staff has earned NFCA
Southeast Regional Coaching Staff of the Year three years running.
"The USSSA Pride has assembled a world class team over the last several months and there is
no question that we need a world class coach to lead them this summer," DeDonatis said.
"Coach Walton exemplifies the way a professional team should be run. We are extremely
happy with his decision to coach the USSSA Pride."

American Crystal appoints existing employees to new positionsAmerican Crystal Sugar Co. in Moorhead, Minn., has announced management structure changes: two promotions and two moving to new areas of responsibility.
By: Mikkel Pates, Agweek
MOORHEAD, Minn. — American Crystal Sugar Co. in Moorhead, Minn., has announced management structure changes: two promotions and two moving to new areas of responsibility.
•Kevin Price will be vice president of government affairs, a promotion from his position as director of government affairs since joining the company in 1996. He holds a bachelor's degree in political science from North Dakota State University and was an aide to former Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., before taking his post. He lives in Alexandria, Va.
•Teresa Warne will be vice president of finance. She holds a bachelor's degree in accounting from Montana State University, a master's in business administration from Metropolitan State University, and joined American Crystal in 2008 as corporate controller. She had worked in accounting at Caribou Coffee Inc. She and her family live in Moorhead. She is the first female vice president American Crystal has had.
•Brian Ingulsrud will be vice president of agriculture. He has been at American Crystal since 1990 and has worked in various positions, including vice president of administration since 2004. He has a bachelor's degree in management from the University of North Dakota and a master's in business administration from the University of Minnesota. He and his family live in Fargo, N.D.
•Tom Astrup will be vice president of operations, which oversees the factories. He has been with American Crystal since 1994 and has been vice president both of administration and agriculture, and most recently was vice president of finance and chief financial officer. He holds a degree in accounting from UND. He and his family live in Fargo.
The change comes in the wake of the departure of Joe Talley, chief operating officer, whose last day is today. A going-away office event was held Jan. 14.
David Berg, president and CEO, declined to elaborate on the announcement, except to acknowledge that all vice presidents will now report directly to the president. The new structure does not include the chief operations officer, to which agriculture and operations previously had reported.

Irish creatives are angry. Very angry. Luckily, they've found a way to vent their frustrations via the humble A3 poster.
Creatives, designers, animators, directors and illustrators across the Irish Sea have used their worst feedback from clients to form a funny collection of posters, all in aid of Temple Street Children's University Hospital.
Some of the client quotes include "We want to look like this but don't copy it, just make it different enough but keep it the same" and "Can we make the pig sexier?" Check them out at http://sharpsuits.net/vikings.

Great Earrings!
By TK
from Calgary, Alberta
I wasn't sure whether I should order these earrings at first, but I did some investigating and I was impressed about where these wonderful stones come from and their rarity.I know from all reports and on TSC that they clearly state that you don't know how many colors will come out as each and every piece is different, just like all of us.I truly was impressed when I received these earrings in the mail as I didn't know what to expect. I had a lot of blue and orange and some green, but hey, when you order something like these, you never know how they will come to you.It is something that you take on before you order them.I know people that have ordered the same items and are hugely happy or really disappointed. I am happy with my order.Just keep that thought in mind when ordering a very precious gem that will probably not be available in the next seven to ten ...
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Earring Backs not as strong as they look
By LOVE TO SHOP
from OLDS
When I went to put the plastic stopper on the earring back, it started to bend, so they are not as strong as they look! The earrings had okay colours, but you had to get them in strong light to see the colours. I sent them back. I wouldn't recommend them because the earring backs aren't as strong as they should be, in my opinion.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Harare — GOVERNMENT will increase the student intake at the School of Mines in Bulawayo to curb the effects of the massive brain drain that has hit the mining sector, a senior Government official has said.
Speaking before the Portfolio Commit-tee on Mines, Environment and Tourism recently, the ministry's permanent secretary, Cde Thabani Ndlovu, said it was also focusing on retaining lecturers at the school through the provision of retention allowances and other perks.
"The mining sector has been severely hit by brain drain and as a ministry we have decided to increase the number of students at the college to fill the gap created by those who are leaving the country for greener pastures.
"We intend to prioritise resource allocation to critical areas such as retention of the staff at the college as well as seek funds from alternative sources to provide attractive perks.
"As the regulator of the sector in the country, the ministry has to make sure enough personnel is trained to service the mining sector," he said.
Mr Ndlovu said this would be done in liaison with stakeholders in the mining sector who are beneficiaries of the programme.
He also said the Department of Metallurgy, which is one of the most critical sections of the ministry, was in dire need of laboratory equipment to test and determine the value of the ore mined in the country, something that is likely to jeorpadise the operation of the department.
"The Metallurgy Department is currently experiencing shortages of requisite equipment to determine the value of minerals mined in the country. It is important to note that without proper equipment the country would lose out, as the department would not be able to account for all the minerals.
"Most of our ores have a number of minerals that we need to account for as a country. We cannot send them outside Zimbabwe for verification as there is a likelihood that the country might be duped. Minerals like platinum have more than seven components and these need to be identified and percentage occurrence verified.
"The department also needs to verify the value of ore that is mined at different mines across the country," he said.
The country has been forced to increase enrolments at training institutions in the country to make up for the void that has been created by workers who are leaving the country for greener pastures.

Hi folks,
I use fireworks & normally I take about 1-2 days per layout.
Am I slow, normal or fast?
How many hours does it take you
(normally) to design only the home page design for lets say:
A. e-commerce site,
B. Information/branding site
C. Heavy content magazine type blog site
Thanks in advance
ps: How to change my user name?
It would depend on how many custom pages/page templates were required, but it usually only takes a few hours to create the required screens to send for approval in photoshop.
A. e-commerce site with an average of 6 template components –
7 hours
B. Information/branding site – 4 hours to create the over all theme and all of the required styling elements
C. Heavy content magazine type blog site – 4 hours
Again this is just a rough idea and it can vary greatly depending on how detailed the brief is, the existing brand you have to work with (if any) and a whole heap of other variables!
I hope this helps.
"It depends…"
Even at equal skill levels and efficiency most people have their own styles/approaches.
eCommerce definitely takes the most time for me. Researching or thinking strongly about usability and call to actions etc.
I would say average sites, I quote anywhere between 6-20 hours depending on the usual budget/deadline variables. The days where I need to sacrifice a goat or two for inspiration can tack on a few extra.
Never missed a deadline yet, *dances ritualistically*.
Thanks for the replies AngusWF & sliver37
I'd like to keep this thread alive for a little longer &
get a few more opinions to gauge where my own pace is at…
Please keep 'em coming folks – just a few quick words.
Well I probably think I am around the same as you
Good heavens, you guys are quick at design.
I don't think you can really accurately answer this question. Another way to put it is that I really don't think there is a *common* time. Really depends on how the designer works. Some people create only 1 design from the comments of the client. Others design 2-4 renditions to provide options. And there's a lot in between.
I take like a week to do mockups, inspiration and design two full comps…
