Apple Makes Good on Promise, Begins Offering $100 Store Credit to Early Adopters
Oh cheer up, guys. Sure it's only $100...but think of all the wondrous things you do with that trifling sum. Why, you can buy half an iPod. Or .0000001% of a MacBook Pro. Or a king's ransom in iTunes music. Har har.
Seriously though, I know this offer won't pacify all of my outspoken readers, but it's something anyway. Take the money, use it to buy yourself something nice, like an iPod or MacBook. Life is too short to fret over money. Go enjoy yourself, and have a nice weekend!

Apple Makes Good on Promise, Begins Offering $100 Store Credit to Early Adopters
You won't let Steve Jobs keep your $200? He's going to rape you some more when you go in with that $100 and come out with something that's three times that credit. And when you get the next iPhone, and the next, and the next, and the next. I mean, you posted on an iPhone blog. I'm sure he's going to get much more than $200 from you sooner or later.
Well I went to use my $100 Apple Store credit today, and it says the balance is $0.00.
I called the Gift card hotline (as instructed on the iPhone credit page) and they confirmed the balance was $0.00. I asked them if they could tell me where or how it was used and she said "there is no information". I told her that I did not yet use the card and she said to call 800-692-7753.
I called and they told me they can't help me over the phone, and that I have to email "firstname.lastname@example.com" So off goes the email, and an auto-reply says to allow them '5 business days' to respond. Ouch.
Guess its going to be even longer before I get to use that $100 credit...
Ebay idea is interesting. I'll sell you five bucks for $3 (brilliant!) $100 is better than a sharp stick in the eye. Or is it?
damn dog hit my arm and made me hit the submit button before I could spellcheck that!
Don't be so quick to take Jobs' pittance. Who knows what the savvy attorney out there who's been screwed will do to remedy this situation. After all, telling you you can have a hundred bucks back and then telling you what you can and can't spend it on seems like quite a springboard for someone who wants to cost Apple a bit more money on attorney fees.
I for one am going to hold off for a few weeks to see what is done, if anything, in the courts about this.
I feel if I want to use the money to purchase an Apple gift card then I go* da*n will! Jobs just wants the money spent NOW before the years ends so he can keep this tragedy on the 2007 books. Again, Jobs telling you what you can and cant have while trying to be magnanymous about the whole thing. I just watched the keynote posted on Apple's website in it's entirety. It only takes about 5 minutes to really notice how friggin arrogant this putz is. Deliberate pauses to subconciously force the audience for applause, constantly telling you how awesome this crap is. It's like he can't differentiate between stockholders and customers. Customers don't give a sh%t about how many stores Jobs has or how many "units" he's sold. And the people there at the show, were they investors or where they there to report the event. Again, the pompous ass that Jobs is actually posts his greedy plans on their website like telling us how much cash he thinks he's going to rake in for Christmas means jack shi* to anyone other than him and his friends.
Amazing. Don't register for the drippings for the poor from this guy yet. The tune may still change after those with more time than personality are through with this.
Just a thought.
I am thrilled with the $100 rebate. I absolutely love my iPhone. IMHO it is nothing less than a masterpiece. (Of course, this is after using literally the cheapest phone Verizon had available 4 years ago - that's another story!) I knew the limitations of the iPhone when I bought it. After the shock of the price drop and the knee-jerk reaction, I realized that the phone was worth the $600 to me when I bought it. I am thrilled that I have now only paid $500. The iPhone is great. AT&T sucks.
I'd never knock the value of the phone, as far as phones go it's definitely a breakthrough in terms of the hardware's ability to run a chopped OSX and the quality of the screen. I wonder how long the hardware's been available that apple just now got it all together in one package or if Apple was the first to get it. At any rate, I purchased 2 phones about a month after they were released. I've never had any problems with either in any way, including email :)
My gripe is that with such an assembly of hardware and software I felt it was worth the 600 bucks also. But when J dropped the price so drastically it signaled to me that there was much more profit in the hardware than I was awed by in the first place. This led me, and several others it seems, to feel that Jobs overpriced the hardware immensely based on his perceived demand rather than turn a fair profit from the start. When a company drops the price on their product so much so quick, it can only mean there is was a ton of profit in it in the first place. To me, the value of the phone and technology was there since in comparison of price and features I felt I was getting more than what was currently out there. What I don't appreciate is being banged for bucks well beyond what is reasonable profit. I'm not a firm believer in supply and demand. I don't feel that just because only one kid on the block has the best flavor lemonade that he is justified in charging more for the flavor. Likewise, I feel that the time=money spent on labor to devise the phone and the hardware cost plus a fair profit is reasonable. I don't believe that Jobs is justified in sitting back and laughing amongst his cohorts going "man we got a totally new concept in phones, let's JAM it up their butts and hit 'em hard for the privilege of owning one." And that's what Jobs did, he jammed it up our ass for the privilege of owning one, and that to me is NOT customer care.
The phone is cool tho :-0
It's not necessarily that there was too much profit, and that is why Jobs dropped the price so quickly. More likely the case was that Apple had no idea how many units this thing would sell. They were likely fairly confident that there would be a number of people that would pay $600 to be the first to have it, but outside of that, I don't think anybody had any idea it would sell quite this well. So Apple wanted to make sure they could cover their development costs first. Then, when sells were very strong, and Apple became pretty certain they could at least cover their costs, they made a decision that they could make more profit and gain greater market share by lowering the price. I would be willing to bet if Apple knew demand would be this high all along, the initial $600 price tag wouldn't have been quite as high, there would have still been a price drop, its just smart business to segment the market into people who are willing to pay more and people who are willing to wait.
Sometimes I get the feeling that a lot of the people who are mad about this price drop aren't mad because they over paid, they're mad because its going to allow other people to jump on the iphone and take away some of the "ohmygodyou'vegotaniphone!" appeal that I think a lot of people bought the phone for.
The I phone was my first Apple product. I have had every Blackberry since they came out. The I Phone is so much better than anything else that it is worth $1000. Just think, you don't need to buy an I pod or a digital camera, and you have the easiest best phone
and combination device ever. I am a heavy business user with 9000 minutes per month, and it is just great so do not understand why peoploe say it is not suitable for business. Is it perfect? No, but it sure is alot better than anything else out there by far, and this is Apples first attempt, and it makes Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, LG Palm, and everyone else look like amateurs. I was a little miffed for a few minutes about the price drop, but when Steve announced the rebate, and when I actually used it and it took one minute to process, I was overjoyed. What other company is history made it so easy to get a rebate? From the design of the phone to the revolutionary on line way of activating it, to great customer service, Apple is the best. Let them make as much money as they can-they deserve it for making such great products. They will sell millions of I Phones and have plenty of R & D money to make the I Phone even better. I am going to switch all of my home and business computers to Apple this Fall when the new operationg system comes out, and will now longer be a Microsoft customer with its virus causing operating systems. Apple is the best, and they made the best phone. Anyone who complains should sell their I Phone just go back to all the garbage on the market and should be blacklisted from buying an Apple product for life! Just kidding. It is a killer device.
FJR has a point there, Andy sounds like an Apple employee :(
Very valid point there FJR, in contrast though, watch that Apple keynote clip on their site. Jobs comes across as both supremely smug about his products and yet humble. I think the humble comes from being a 90 pound wimp mostly, but watch the smirks and listen to the salesmanship in what he says. Through the past, I seem to recall those remarking about the man as calling him smug, overconfident and unyielding to the advise of others. From that I gather he's always had a single goal, and that was to overtake the PC in sales and have his machinery become the top selling home computer platform. Since he has no chance of that in the close future, he's turned his sights on the cellphone market as another method to get a larger section of the public using his OS. Now that all those PC users have purchased iPhones and fallen in love with the OS on it, and let's face it there's nothing more to this phone than it's operating system, those people might start hitting Apple's website to check out their other more costly hardware. Selling a cellphone with their OS on it was a sound business decision, likely made in the hopes that it steers customers over to other apple products, kinda like ole' Andy up there!!
I don't feel that there should've been anything given to those who paid the original $600 dollars for the iphone. The people that paid the original price knew that there would be price drops, they just didn't know that it would happen so soon. The extra money is the price of having the newest technology before everyone else has it. Now Apple is giving away credit and people are complaining?
It's the second time when i've seen your site. I can gather lots of hard work has gone in to it. It's really wonderful.

Steakhouses, Restaurants near KeyArena at Seattle Center: Tuxedo-clad waiters set the tone for a Midwest classic that's staked a claim in the Northwest. Known for beautiful tableside presentations (yes, that's a live lobster on the cart), this steak house is famous for its 24-ounce porterhouse and its generous, hearty portions. Sides must be ordered separately at an additional cost, and the menu offers seafood, chicken, and veal for those who don't relish red meat. More than 175 wine complements are available as well--the perfect complement to a delicious meal. Expectedly, the atmosphere is plush, and Sinatra croons romantically in the background to add to the whole experience.
Steaks & Chops: Midwestern cuisine with posh elegance and fantastic tableside presentation. The portions are generous (one-and-a-half pound porterhouse!!!), though sides are ordered separately and at additional cost. The menu includes seafood, veal, chicken, and other entrees, as well as over 175 wines to complement your meal.

The "Green Hornet" trailer is up today and, despite my initial reservations with Seth Rogan in the title role, the film looks fun—but more along Judd Apatow lines. Michel Gondry will have to work hard to differentiate "Green Hornet" from "Batman"—having pulled out the old Millionaire-playboy-turned-crimefighter saw (with a dead parent to boot)—or the humor-laced "Iron Man," but as long as the film can deliver on both action and comedy, it'll give fanboys something to watch between "Tron Legacy" and "Thor"/"Green Lantern."

Creating Accessible PDF files using MS Word 2010 (Windows)
Download PDF version (430 KB) or Word version (405 KB)
This document is available in alternate formats upon request. Please contact the Accessibility Hub Coordinator.
Why make documents accessible?
Making accessible documents ensures that they usable by the widest range of users, but also ensures your document is easier to edit and navigate. It is important to make these changes to Word documents to accommodate a variety of disabilities. For example, many people with visual disabilities use screen readers which read aloud information on the screen such as text or image descriptions provided through alternative text (Alt Text).
If you plan, format, and structure your document correctly in the beginning, it will ensure the file is not only accessible but can also be converted into a variety of different alternate formats (e.g. PDF or braille) while retaining its accessibility features.
- As of January 1, 2013, Ontario Regulation 191/11, section 15: requirement to provide educational or training resources or materials in an accessible format, if notification of need is given.
- If posting document online - By January 1, 2014, Ontario Regulation 191/11, section 14: new internet websites and web content on those sites must conform with WCAG 2.0 Level A.
- As of January 1, 2015, Ontario Regulation 191/11, section 12: requirement to provide, upon request, accessible formats and communication supports.
What are Accessible PDF files?
Usually, accessible PDF files are "tagged" documents. Tags are hidden accessible elements that provide structure for screen readers.
PDF files are usually created from applications such as Microsoft Word or PowerPoint but there are many more. Creating accessible PDF files depends on the accessibility of the original document like the use of headings, alt text for images and colour contrast etc. for example. Please view tutorials for Creating Accessible Word Documents for Word, or Mac, Creating Accessible PowerPoint Presentations Word, or Mac for more information.
Although you can create PDF files using several programs, it is best practice to use Adobe Acrobat Professional in conjuncture to evaluate, repair, and enhance the accessibility of existing PDF files.
Best Practice When Using Word 2010
Update: creating a PDF through "Save As >> PDF" of a .docx file in Word 2013 seems fine.
Even though MS Word 2010 has the ability to create tagged PDF natively (i.e. "File", "Save as", "PDF"), it was found during accessibility testing that the resulting structure and reading order of PDF file created from a .docx file was very poor. The method used to create the best results using Microsoft Word or PowerPoint files:
- Create an accessible document with headings, alternate text, etc. Please view other tutorials in the Accessibility Hub for detailed information on achieving this.
- Save the document in an older format (e.g. MS Word .doc) File >> Save as >> Word 97-2003 Document.
- Install Adobe Acrobat Professional available at the Queen's Computer Store for departments, faculty, staff, and students. When Adobe Acrobat Professional is installed, it will also install an add-in called PDFMaker into MS Office.
Using MS Word 2010 and Adobe add-in PDFMaker
First, follow the three steps as described above. To create a tagged PDF, in MS Word, select "Preferences" from the Acrobat ribbon and ensure that "Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF" is checked.
With the "Preferences" window still open, select the "Bookmarks" tab, and ensure "Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks" is checked.
To save your MS Word document as a PDF file
There are two methods to convert your MS Word document (.doc) to a PDF file. The first is to select "File" from the ribbon, then "Save as Adobe PDF".
The second method is to select "Create PDF" from the "Acrobat" ribbon.
Using Adobe Acrobat Professional
Now that you have a saved PDF file, you need to ensure the tagging and reading order allow for proper accessibility. As previously mentioned, Adobe Acrobat Professional is used to evaluate, repair, and enhance the accessibility of existing PDF files. The software is available at the Queen's Computer Store for departments, faculty, staff, and students.
One step of checking the accessibility of the document is to view the tags. When a PDF is tagged properly, the logical structure of the file can be read by a screen reader or other assistive technology in an appropriate manner. This can lead to better reading and navigation while using these assistive technologies. The "Tags pane" can be opened by selecting "View", then "Show/Hide", then "Navigation Panes", then "Tags".
Within the Tags pane, you may view, reorder, rename, modify, delete, and create tags.
By selecting each tag in the list, the corresponding content in the document will be highlighted (if not, check "Highlight Content" from the "Options" menu )
Add tags to an untagged document
Tags may be added to an untagged document, choose "Tools" from the right-hand menu, then select "Accessibility", then "Add Tags to Document".
TouchUp Reading Order
With this tool, the user can add and edit PDF tags and view the reading order of elements on the page. It is important to note that this method should not take the place of using the "Tags pane". Certain tags, such as lists, are only available in the Tags pane.
To use the tool, select "Tools" from the right-hand menu, then "Accessibility", then "TouchUp Reading Order".
You will notice a couple of things. First, all the content of your document will be enclosed by various numbered boxes. These boxes represent a tag and the number corresponds with the tag number in the "Order" pane (more information in the next section). Secondly, the "TouchUp Reading Order" window will also open.
The window has groups of buttons so you can edit and add tags to any numbered block of text in your document or selected text/objects of your choice.
Order Pane
The Order pane allows you to change the reading order of the content on the page so it matches the visual reading order. To open the Order pane, select "View", then "Show/Hide", then "Navigation Panes", then "Order".
The "Order pane" divides the document into pages and every element is ordered into the reading order. This makes changing the tags and reading order much easier by simply drag-and-drop the elements into the desired order.
Checking Accessibility
Adobe Acrobat Professional X can run an "Accessibility Full Check". This can be a good tool to ensure that nothing was overlooked. Run the full check by, selecting "Tools" in the right-hand column, then "Advanced", then "Accessibility", then "Full Check". This action opens another window. On the bottom right-hand side select "Start Checking". This will generate a report of accessibility errors and tell you how to fix them.
Action Wizard
The Create Accessible PDFs" Action Wizard in Acrobat X is a tool to ensure that you don't miss any steps while making your document accessible. To run the wizard, select the "Tools" in the right-hand column, then "Action Wizard", then "Create Accessible PDFs".
Read Out Loud
Read Out Loud is a built-in voice synthesizer that is available in Adobe Reader and Acrobat that reads the content of a PDF document out loud to you. You can get a good idea of what screen reader users encounter.

Meaning what? doesnt mean you have to hire crap wrestlers and put on crap shows
erm,.. so whats it about then?
We as wrestling fans know what we like and there's not much argument to who and what makes a good Wrestler/Show.
Over the last few years we have watched the WWE recruit very dull and uninteresting...
too much emphasis with with older talent putting over younger talent.
If a wrestlers characters are crap and is boring to watch/listen to ,
its pointless them 'getting over' no matter how hard you...
"stupid & unintelligent individual"
you are kidding right? Mr Warrior is super intelligent
have you actually heard any of his recent speeches or read any of his recent articles?
Hi passion was...
its been a good build up,do you think it would be a good move for him?
its been a good build up
rhyno had last match and Left TNA...
LOL why do you think you havent seen an Ultimate X match in ages??
low ratings during the segments.. wwe/tna DO not have any up an comming stars on there rosters!
(wwe may have something good...
"They" maybe the same as Dixies big surprise .. that she later changed to more of a "Change" .. in case you missed it, it apparently happend in the last Impact ???????????? just hype .... again
Too long for me to read,
end of the Day if a promotion has well known Wrestlers who are past their prime they will still Draw more than any of the younger talent!
what happens when an older legend...
If TNA/SPike Value the Fans in the UK
they will STOP letting Impact running into
Reaction as WE DO NOT GET REACTION !
an we dont know the Final result or what happenes.
Its Bad enough be have...

Re: Tre' Cool
Tre Cool is one of the most popular rock drummers around today. Most kids who start drumming definetly have some experience with Greenday so they look into that drummer. Basicly everyone knows about Greenday, and with their like 8 total grammy wins and 5 or 6 hit videos they are basicly impossible to be unheard of. Most kids that start reminesence of greendays success, look into his drumming and instantly get hooked on Tre's innonative yet simple beats, thrashy cymbals hits , and fast tom work. That's how everyone gets addicted to Tre. Tre is definetly one of my favorite drummings closey behind barker and peart. He began at age 12 and basicly taught himself so you don't expect someone that was basicly self taught to know everything about rudiments, tempo, and all that stuff. Tre just likes to have fun with his drumming, I don' think he cares what people think. He makes millions of dollars a year doing something he loves I don't think he should start getting cocky and trying new things that can mess up his image and stuff.

WildFire Prevention & Awareness
In Washington State, the majority of wildfires (85%) are human-caused. Every year, wildfire prevention is of critical importance to DNR when protecting Washington's natural resources.
Starting June 22, DNR has issued a statewide burn ban. The ban applies to all outdoor burning on DNR-protected forestlands. See Commissioner Goldmark's Statewide Burn Ban Order.
Our prevention efforts are aimed primarily toward adults—people living in or near the woods; debris burners; occasional campers; hunters; hikers; and those who use fireworks.
Embers from a wildfire can travel more than a mile. Defend your home from Wildfire> Defend Your Home from Wildfire: flyer in English & Spanish> Learn how to prepare for a wildfire - the Ready Campaign > Homeowner Tips - http://www.firewise.org> Ear to the Ground BlogTake responsibility while outside in the forest!Campfires are permitted on DNR-managed lands in approved fire pits only.• Ensure there is a shovel and bucket of water close by• Put the fire out cold before walking away • Never walk away from a smoldering campfire. If it's too hot to touch, it's too hot to leave.
Other Fire Safety Tips• Be sure recreational vehicles have operating spark arresters. • Do not park any vehicles in dry, grassy areas as residual heat from exhaust systems can ignite the dry grass. • It is illegal to discharge fireworks or use incendiary ammunition or exploding targets on DNR-protected lands.
Take responsibility to defend your home from wildfire!If your home is built in or near the forest, there are steps you can take to guard against wildfire destroying your home. Follow these steps to get started on protecting your home from wildfire.
See how defensible space techniques – clearing brush, limbing trees, etc. – helped save homes from the 2011 Monastery Fire Complex in south-central Washington, while 29 other homes were unfortunately destroyed.
Take Responsibility To Protect Your Property And Your Neighbors!DNR regulates outdoor burning on all forestlands where we provide wildfire protection. Don't burn outdoors until you know the rules!
Additional ResourcesWith the Fire Adapted Communities, you can learn more about defensible space, fire-resilient building construction, and community wildfire prevention planning.
The Firewise Program, administered through the National Fire Protection Association, encourages local solutions for wildfire safety by involving you, the homeowner, in taking individual responsibility for preparing your home for the risk of wildfire.
The Ready, Set, Go! (RSG) Program, managed by the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC), seeks to develop and improve the dialogue between fire departments and the residents they serve. The program helps fire departments teach individuals who live in high risk wildfire areas how to best prepare themselves and their properties against fire threats.
Every year across our nation, some homes survive – while others do not – after a major wildfire. Those that survive almost always do so because their owners had prepared for the eventuality of fire, which is an inescapable force of nature in fire-prone wildland areas.

The Minister of Works, Mike Onolememen, said yesterday that the Federal Government would decide soon on the fate of the concessioned Lagos-Ibadan expressway as it bids to ensure work progress on the road.
He told newsmen at the State House, Abuja, after briefing President Goodluck Jonathan on the performance of the ministry's 2012 budget.
He said the government has engaged the concessionaire in re-negotiation with a view to resolving the problems stalling the project.
"A meeting was held on it on Tuesday. We are engaging the concessionaire and very soon, something will be done on it," he said.
The Minister also revealed that the ministry has so far received N44billion under the 2012 budget, which he said has been utilised at 93 percent.
He said about N38billion has been released in the High Ways Department out of which N37 billion was spent on projects and programmes which represents about 96 per cent.

YIELD: Makes 8 to 10 servings
Preheat oven to 400°F. Using your hands, toss bread in a large bowl while drizzling with 1/2 cup oil, squeezing bread to help it absorb oil. Spread out on 2 rimmed baking sheets, dividing equally; set aside.
Toast bread, stirring often and rotating baking sheets halfway through, until croutons are golden brown and crisp on the outside but still a little soft inside, about 20 minutes. Let cool; return to large bowl.
Meanwhile, toast fennel seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, shaking pan often, until seeds are fragrant and light gold, 2-3 minutes. Let cool. Using a spice mill or a mortar and pestle, coarsely grind fennel seeds; set aside. Alternatively, crush seeds in a resealable freezer bag with bottom of a heavy skillet.

The Paramount Theatre is a live theatre venue/movie theatre located in downtown Austin, Texas in the United States of America. The classical revival style structure was built in 1915. The building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 23, 1976.
In the Paramount's 90-year history, it has played host to a wide variety of acts ranging from vaudeville legends The Marx Brothers, to the premieres of such films as 1966's Batman and 2005's Sin City.
For over 90 years, The Paramount Theatre has been home to vaudeville, silent movies and "talkies," music, dance, and Broadway shows. Through the years, a cast of superstars has graced its stage; from Houdini, the Marx Brothers, Helen Hayes, Orson Welles, Sarah Bernhardt, the Ziegfeld Follies, the Metropolitan Opera, Lillian Russell, John Philip Sousa, the Barrymores, Lillian Gish, and George M. Cohan to such modern-day favorites as Billy Joel, Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, Sarah Vaughan, Lyle Lovett, Gregory Hines, and Mandy Patinkin.
In the years following, the Theatre saw the demise of vaudeville and the rise of silent, and then talking pictures. In 1930, the Interstate Theatre Circuit, owned by Carl Hoblitzelle, engaged in a major remodeling of the Majestic, adding wall-to-wall carpeting, replacing the wooden seats with upholstered chairs, and adding a state-of-the-art sound system, all of which cost almost as much as the original building. Once the extensive and ornate art deco remodeling was completed, the Theatre was renamed as the "Paramount" after its new owners, Paramount Pictures. During the 1930s, Austin's finest young ballerinas graced the Paramount's stage in the Christmas Revue of Miss Camille Long's School of Dance, and many a high-school girl rushed to the Theatre after school for a series of afternoon mystery movies. There was a new segment each week-"It was like modern soaps," remembers one Paramount patron. Although such movies were the norm, live entertainment still played an important part in the Theatre program schedule - for example, in 1935, Helen Hayes was accused of snubbing local interviewers after her "superb" performance in Mary of Scotland.
The Paramount Theatre was very active during the war years of the 1940s. Hoblitzelle's Interstate Theatre's slogan was "dedicated to community service." The Paramount was a big promoter of war bonds - it sold $8.4 million in war bonds from the first drive in 1942 to the victory campaign in 1945. The United States Treasury War Finance Committee recognized it with citations and awards and the manager, Louis Novy, with a war finance silver medal. The Theatre even ran Army training and recruiting films, such as Paris Under Ground, The Story of G.I. Joe, and Pride of the Marines, along with the usual entertainment. Wally Pryor was an usher at the Theatre in 1947 and remembers the postwar chocolate shortage. He used to hide chocolate rations for his friends, including fellow UT swimmers.
As an usher, Wally found himself part of Harry Blackstone's magic act one time, participating in an amazing disappearing-bird act. The 1940s also saw such quality entertainment as Katharine Hepburn in the stage production of The Philadelphia Story.
Under various managements, The Paramount experienced several decades of successful seasons playing top-rated films. By the 1950s, The Paramount was almost exclusively used as a movie house. However, the invention of television and a move to the suburban movie houses began to threaten The Paramount in the 1960s. By the early 1970s, The Paramount Theatre was in disrepair and operating as a "B" movie house when John M. Bernardoni, Charles Eckerman, and Stephen L. Scott rescued the Theatre from obscurity. Bernardoni wanted to get back into Theatre work; Scott and Eckerman were ready for a challenge. In 1973, the three formed a corporation with the hope of acquiring a lease on the Theatre, which was slated for demolition, and of bringing in first class live entertainment for local audiences. In the beginning, Bernardoni, Eckerman, and Scott had no money and no connections, and initially they did not get much encouragement about their dreams for the Theatre. At the time, downtown Austin had acquired a bad reputation, and nay-sayers insisted that no one would go downtown at night, that there was no parking, and that the building was too far gone.
On May 6, 1977, The Paramount was the scene of a state historical marker dedication. Not long afterwards, on July 8, 1977, the Theatre earned its place in the national register of historic places, which qualified it for federal restoration funds. Raising the money for the renovation was a constant struggle. For example, Actors' Equity Association, an international union of actors, threatened to blacklist the Theatre unless it made $120,000 worth of repairs by September 1977. Bernardoni then appealed to the city for part of a $ 1.9 million housing and community development fund. By July 1977, the dressing room facilities had still not been renovated and the actors union threatened to cancel an appearance of the touring company of Guys and Dolls starring Leslie Uggams, Richard Roundtree, Debbie Allen, and Maurice Hines. In a moment of inspiration, Bernardoni put out a call for seven motor homes to serve as dressing rooms for the 31-member cast and 31 make-up mirrors: The motor homes were donated by private individuals and the mirrors came from another source. A union representative inspected the facilities and declared that the show could go on; it did go on, playing two performances to capacity crowds, which allowed The Paramount to break even. More important, it proved that Austin was ready to support national touring companies. Restoration work on the Theatre finally began in September 1977 and was divided into two phases. Phase One included restoring the façade, first and second floor lobbies, renovating the back stage and dressing room areas, adding a new marquee and installing new seats in the lower floor and first balcony. Phase Two began in the spring of 1979 and included major renovation of the heating and air conditioning systems, installation of the remaining one-third of the seats in the upper balcony, cleaning the rayon and cotton wall panels, and installation of a lighting system for the stage. Whenever possible, the Theatre remained open during the restoration process, but this caused some big problems. For instance, in the summer of 1978, during a production of California Suite with Brenda Vacarro and James Farentino, the air conditioning stopped working after intermission. Fortunately, Bernardoni convinced her that the show must go on, and it did, despite sweltering heat and all. When Bernardoni went backstage to talk to her "she just about hit me in the face," he said. "She was hot and her makeup had melted. I explained to her that the air conditioning coils were frozen and that this was an old building which we were trying the restore." At the time, Bernardoni thought he was rambling on too much, "but it must have worked because she invited me to dinner with her and her mother the next night," he recalls.
Today, The Paramount offers something for all ages, including a Broadway series of plays and a children's series, which began in 1987 and has featured such favorites as Charlotte's Web, The Wizard of Oz and the Velveteen Rabbit. By far the most popular attraction at the Theatre has been the blockbuster comedy Greater Tuna, starring Jaston Williams and Joe Sears as various wacky, but strangely true-to-life characters from small-town Tuna, Texas. It first played at The Paramount in 1982. The show was such a hit that it toured nationally and returned to The Paramount several times. After continually packing houses across the country, Greater Tuna performed its farewell tour, in summer of 1991. Tuna fans were still able to enjoy the sequel, however, in A Tuna Christmas. Not only does the Paramount host a variety of shows, but it has also produced its own shows. In the 1980s the Theatre produced Deathtrap, Mass Appeal, Dracula, and The Oldest Living Graduate. The Paramount also co-produced with Charles Duggan The Foreigner, a repeat smash hit starring those crazy Tuna guys Jaston Williams and Joe Sears. The Paramount will be used as the primary venue for dance company Ballet Austin's2007/08 season.

Sonnet 149 recalls the poet's abject defense of the youth's insulting behavior. The main theme, however, is the conflict between reason and infatuation. Bemoaning the woman's treatment of him even more fervently than before, the poet is quickly slipping into madness: "Canst thou, O cruel, say I love thee not / When I against myself with thee partake?" Such questioning continues throughout the sonnet, with each question designed to convince the woman of all that the poet sacrifices for her benefit. The poet has even gone so far as to forego all friendships with other people. He asks her, "Who hateth thee that I do call my friend? / On whom frown'st thou that I do fawn upon?" Having alienated himself from his friends, the poet now finds himself in the ironic position of having alienated himself from the woman because of his blinding love for her. His calling the woman "love" in the concluding couplet balances his first calling her "O cruel" in line 1: "But, love, hate on, for now I know thy mind; / Those that can see thou lov'st, and I am blind." The woman, then, rejects the poet for the very reason that he is losing his mind — his unreasoning passion for her.

An unknown tablet device has appeared in a promotional photo on HP's website, hinting that a new line of HP tablets, likely running Windows 8, are on their way.
HP has made no secret of its plans to launch tablets running Microsoft's next-generation operating system.
It announced early last month its first Windows 8 tablet will be an x86 model aimed at businesses, and said it is looking at making ARM tablets running Windows RT.
The device pictured on its website appears identical to one which popped up in a promotional video two weeks ago.
As reported by Engadget, a similar-looking tablet is shown at the end of HP's 60-second "make it matter" commercial. Earlier this year, rumours emerged HP was working on its Slate 8, an x86-powered tablet with a 10.1-inch screen.
The tablet shown in the video and photo aligns with reports of the Slate 8's design, boasting a metallic body with black antenna section for 3G/4G capability. The tablet has been reported to be 9.2mm thick with up to 10 hours battery life.
The tablet is pictured with a medical professional, hinting that the device will be business-focused rather than consumer-targeted.
In May at HP's global influencer summit in Shanghai, Todd Bradley, executive vice president of HP's printing and personal systems group, said some of HP's Windows 8 tablets would be targeted at the consumer market.
"Our stated tablet strategy is around Microsoft and bringing Windows 8 tablets to market. … That's not to say that [the Microsoft partnership] is forever -- markets evolve."
HP killed off its consumer TouchPad tablet worldwide in August of last year, less than a week after it debuted in Australia, after failing to light sales and win over critics.
The device ran on HP's own WebOS operating system, developed out of its Palm unit and based on Linux. The TouchPad came with a dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm CPU, 1GB of RAM, beats by Dr Dre stereo sound, 16 to 32GB of storage and a 9.7in HD screen (1024x768).
The future of WebOS looked uncertain in the months following the TouchPad's demise, with reports HP was looking to sell it off, but the company early this year announced plans to release the full open-source version of the operating system in September.

Gamers found to be cheating or using hacks, bots, or modifications in any form in Blizzard Entertainment's new dungeon crawler Diablo III face a potential permanent ban, the developer said in an update to its website. Those banned will be permanently unable to log in to their Battle.net account, and thus prohibited from playing Diablo III.
Blizzard explained that it "has always taken cheating in any form in Blizzard games very seriously, and that's no different for Diablo III." The developer went on to say that hacking and cheating "goes against the spirit of fair play." According to Blizzard, suspensions and bans will begin in the "near future."
Diablo III launched on May 15 to a warm critical reception and a smashing sales success of 3.5 million units in its first 24 hours and 6.3 million copies during the game's first week. The game was released without player-versus-player support and its real-money auction house, the latter of which has been targeted to launch today.

Baihadjar Tualeka: a silver lining from MalukuAdvertisement
As a country with many ethnics and races, Indonesia often faces a numerous intolerance conflicts in some parts of the country. Indonesia can not forget one of the horrible turmoil ever happened in this country, Maluku's (Ambon's) unrest which started in January 1999. These violent conflicts between two different religious groups, which has happened for years, certainly bring misery for each and every people in Maluku.
Baihadjar Tualeka, a graduate from University Pattimura, was one of the victims. She also felt the trauma and hopelessness the conflict has brought. She once lived in an evacuation camp, lived in despair. However, as every cloud has a silver lining, she then tried to rise again re-building her life.
In the beginning, she was a peddler selling black glutinous rice in the ship. Afterwards, she opened a traditional store, warung, and used her profits as capital for any females who wished to be vendors. Baihadjar and some of her female friends also initiated to open a traditional market, transacting vegetables with Christian community. She also initiated an interaction program between Islamic and Christian children, together with her friend, Lusia Peilouw, as quoted from Lusia Pielouw's kompasiana blog. Later, she founded a cooperative association in 2006, called SANUSA, with its slogan: Your misery is mine, your sorrow is also mine. She tried to encourage and bridge the Islamic and Christian women to build their economy and life. Unfortunately, the conflict broke again in 2011, which forced her to close the cooperative association.
Nevertheless, she doesn't loose her spirit to promote a peaceful Maluku. She is still active to give an understanding about tolerance for young learners, aged 3-5 years in Maluku. She highlights the togetherness value even though there are differences. Since 2002, she has served as the coordinator of the Women and Children Empowerment Council (Lappan) in Ambon. Moreover, she also actively promotes peace and Women and Children empowerment in Maluku.
Her remarkable journey, though crossing a bitter path, has made her as an inspiring woman in Indonesia. Maybe, the highlight of her life was last Wednesday, when she was announced as the winner of the 2012 Saparinah Sadli Award, an award dedicated to honor activists advancing the cause of women in Indonesia.
"I hope this award can inspire me to continue my fight to achieve peace in Ambon. I dedicate [the award] to all the mothers and children of Ambon who have inspired me and taught me innumerable lessons throughout my life," as quoted from The Jakarta Post after the award ceremony. (AY)

Curing a new oven
I have built an oven from the download plans. I live in China so I am the first and only person in southern China with a brick pizza oven.
I have three questions.
1. I have an infrared thermometer. What should I measure for temperature for the curing process? The oven floor close to the fire? The bricks in the dome? The floor half way across the floor from the fire? Or other?
2. Good hard wood is very difficult to find here. However anthracite coal is plentiful. Can I use coal once I have cured the oven? (I know how to manage coal as a cooking fuel)
3. Once the oven is cured, what is the ideal floor temperature in the raw launching zone? In the finishing zone? Or should I measure the temperature at the top of the dome?
I am a Westerner with a life long love affair with pizza. My favorite is Pepe's in New Haven, CT, US. I am desperate for good pizza for my stay here. The best we have access to now is Pizza Hut - ugh!
Re: Curing a new oven
I am not sure about the smell of coal used for cooking pizzas.
Re: Curing a new oven
Are you sure your the first and only person in southern china with a brick oven? That's quite a bold statement there buddy ;)
Re: Curing a new oven
I've used coal in my pizza oven often. A low sulfur anthracite is exactly what you want but softer coals will work as well. (Some of the best pizza restaurants in New York use coal.)
Given that, you don't necessarily need a hardwood. These things are not fussy, pretty much any well seasoned wood will do.
As to where to measure the temperature for curing , I always measure it in the exact center of the floor. This is a good sticky on oven curing:
Re: Curing a new oven
"I am not sure about the smell of coal used for cooking pizzas."
I had a guest from England who thought the smell was wonderful and brought back memories of his childhood.
Many of my guests have said my coal fired pizza was the best they had ever tasted.
Re: Curing a new oven
I stand totally corrected then and will give it a go when I have finished my oven. I am not sure how to get the coal hot enough to start burning on it's own and will take advise from you on that point.
Re: Curing a new oven
Re: Curing a new oven
I start with a small wood fire. Once that is going well, I let it burn down a bit then just add the coal on top.
Re: Curing a new oven
Hello jlanechina,
Welcome to the forum!
I am surprised to hear there are not wood fired ovens in China? Many of the traditional cultures around the world include some version of a 'retained heat oven'. Did the Chinese decided that after the Wok there was no reason to use any other cooking method? or did they have an alternative to the wood fired oven?
Send along some pictures of your oven! Would love to see how it turned out.

United Airlines mistakenly sends dog to Ireland
New Phoenix resident Meredith Grant was left livid after her move from Staten Island left her dog in Ireland.
According to NBCNews, Hendrix, a 6-year-old English Springer, was sent to the Emerald Island instead of Phoenix after a mistake by United Airlines.
Edith Lombardo-Albach, Grant's mother, told her daughter about Hendrick's unplanned vacation. Grant said she was shocked, upset and left completely without trust for United Airlines.
"I would absolutely never ship my dog with United again. Next time, I'm just going to drive and make sure he's with me so nothing like this happens again."
After United Airlines realized the mistake, the dog was hastily returned to its owner within 24 hours. However, Grant said Hendrix was behaving out of his nature.
"He was exhausted. When we got home, he laid down and I had to keep poking him to make sure he was still breathing," Grant said. "He's been acting a little weird, like he'll just sit and cry."
Though the airline has offered to refund Grant, she is still upset. It is unknown how Hendrix was shipped to Ireland instead of Phoenix.

The Children of Ethel Nation
this wiki
Real Name: Dylene Zolikoff, Scott Merz, and Dawnette Barker
Case: Lost Family
Location: San Antonio, Texas
Date: January 1960 to 1966
Details: Ethel Nation was a nurse in San Antonio, Texas during the 1950s and 1960s who used deceit and subterfuge to abduct and illegally sell several children during her career. On January 6, 1960, eighteen-year-old Dylene Zolikoff gave birth to a daughter who Nation spirited off and sold under shady circumstances. Dylene spent years trying to track her down without any help from Nation who remained obstinate about the whole business. After several years, she and her now grown daughter were finally reunited on national television.
Unfortunately, this was not the only child Nation abducted from its birthmother. Two of them, Scott Merz and Dawnette Barker, are also looking for their birth families. Scott was born in 1965 in San Antonio and given by Nation to a couple unable to have children who paid her $1,200. When he was twelve, he began having strange dreams about a woman giving birth. His adoptive mother, Mary Merz, helped him to try and track down his mother and even collided with Nation trying to get the facts, but ever obstinate, she kept changing the facts on the details of his birth, finally getting upset at him and claiming that his mother did not want him, that she was a horrible person, and that he should stop looking for her.
Scott was eventually "eerily" drawn to the Woodlawn Clinic, one of the places Nation had worked at in her life. It was much like a place he had seen in his dreams. He was unable to find his mother, but he eventually met Dawnette Barker, who had been born in July 1966 and sold by Nation and adopted by a childless couple in San Antonio as well. Her adopted parents did not believe that they were taking her home once they got there, so they gave Nation their boat. She eventually discovered her birthmother's name was Gloria Cantu with her illegal adoption papers notarized by Nation. It is unknown as to how many children Nation illegally abducted and placed with other couples. She died in 1991, her secrets going to the grave with her.
Extra Notes: This case first aired on the October 28, 1992 episode.
Results: Unresolved. After the broadcast, several viewers called in to confirm Dawnette's mother as Gloria Cantu Martinez. She had never wanted to give her up for adoption, but had been deceived by Nation to do so. She and Dawnette were soon reunited as a result, along with Dawnette's children. However, sadly, Scott has not found any closure in his search.

Stuart Barnes on the RaboDirect Pro12, the Premiership and the Rugby Championship
Stuart Barnes celebrates Zebre's maiden win in the PRO12 and reflects on the rest of the weekend's action.
Last Updated: 23/09/13 10:54am
Outside of France, European rugby raised their glasses of Italy's exquisite reds to the fly-half and his inspiring muse. But sport's Gods are fickle and the next game the hero was stripped of his magic and looked a leaden rookie as Scotland crushed Italy with the fly-half throwing vital intercept passes into Scottish hands, missing kicks and generally enduring the sort of existence that do not happen outside of nightmares.
He blazed and disappeared and that was assumed to be that. On Friday night however he returned to the limelight in Cardiff. A very fine fly-half by the name of Rhys Patchell is supposed to rule over the new synthetic Cardiff Arms Park pitch but beneath the lights it was Orquera who starred again. He kicked his goals and drove his un-regarded Zebre team to victory against the Blues. 25-30 was the score line. It was one no Zebre fan will ever forget. Their first win; victory has eluded them in either the Rabo12 or Europe until this night. The weekend belonged to them.
If they were the club of the weekend, Italy was the European nation with most to celebrate. Their only other top-class team, Treviso, claimed the scalp of Munster on home soil. Treviso had a good season last year but 29-19 at home to Munster is up there amongst their finest efforts. As the European action - as opposed to the agonising talk - moves into view, the Italian teams suddenly look a not quite so obvious route to the best-placed runners up positions.
Friday was also kind to the other underdog nation of European rugby, Scotland. Glasgow beat the reigning Rabo12 and Amlin champions, Leinster, by 12-6. It could and should have been by a far wider margin. Glasgow demolished Leinster around the fringes and seems intent on maintaining their high standards of last season.
As for Leinster, shorn of several of their star players, there will be no panic but there should be concern. It was not so much the quality of individual as the manner of team performance that undid them. The new management has big boots to fill and on Friday's evidence they are not yet the right fit. There is the time and talent to sort these problems out but keep an eye on Leinster. Without Joe Schmidt they might just be vulnerable to teams other than Clermont this season.
Friday night was a nightmare night for another new manager as well. Dean Ryan suffered a terrible hammering at the hands of an impressive Harlequins team. The players may not be of the quality he would like but a similar squad of faces rarely took beatings line this under the man who recruited most of them, Richard Hill. Again, early days and no time for hysterics but Ryan has to find a lot more than we have yet seen from Worcester.
Harlequins DID show much more than we have seen to date with Nick Easter a star in the second row. What a fine footballer he is. The question is whether Worcester made it easy for them to revel in their off-loading antics. The weekend was rounded off at Saracens where the home sign displayed real intent at the breakdown and in the tackle. Bath were wiped out at contact in a first half that put the game to bed. Bath suffered a waking nightmare of their own making as they leaked thirty plus points.
They 'won' the second half but the damage was done as Saracens slipped their big men from the field. Even so, one has to wonder what would have happened had Dave Attwood, Matt Garvey, George Ford, Peter Stringer, Jonathon Joseph and Paul James all started.
When I saw the Bath team it struck me that the management had dismissed the chances of getting a result at one of the league's toughest venues; it was disappointing (not least since I had already written a George Ford piece for the Sunday Times that had to be torn up and started again) but in a league where qualification for the top four merges with a fully fit squad for the play offs, rotation is one of the key words in the world of selection.
Whatever the reasons for play offs - and the best is that international rugby clashes with the club game and leaves the best teams the most weakened, therefore the play-off system is a safety net for those who give most to the international cause - the fact is football's Premier League leaves both Union and League's version for dead because every game counts massively.
Bath are better than they looked and Saracens looked very good; good enough to be up there fighting on two fronts. They were eclipsed by the Saints and Toulon at the breakdown last season. They have been quick to address that problem. Keep an eye on Luciano Orquera, keep an eye on Saracens.
This weekend New Zealand face Argentina in South America and South Africa meet Australia on home soil. The favourites will fancy their chances but a four try bonus point win is a very large sub plot in the battle for the Rugby Championship.
If New Zealand gain an extra point over South Africa, it is hard to see the Springboks overhauling them but if Argentina resist and Australia crumble, it would only take a South African victory for them to claim the title...'only' and beating the All Blacks do not go well together but the venue is Ellis Park and the Springboks are smarting...all very exciting for those rugby union played at its summit.
Meanwhile Luciano continues to rise and fall and rise and so it goes, wonderful.
Stuart answers your emails...
Got a question for Stuart? Email him at firstname.lastname@example.com or use the feedback form below...
Stuart, what do you make of the latest James O'Connor drama? Why do these players think they can get away with beahviour like this and what would you say to him?Gavin Hess
STUART REPLIES: Gavin, I was never averse to a drink myself back in the days but there is a time and a place. Alas, professionalism demands the time is less and less available due to the demands of fitness and the place is certainly not public. A few players are letting Australia down with their behaviour and Ewen McKenzie has little choice but to drop O'Connor as he has. The egos have escaped at the very time when there is nothing for Australian players to celebrate. Individuals are a vital part of a rounded team but individuals and arrogance are two different things. I reckon that will be something along the lines of what McKenzie told O'Connor and possibly the whole squad behind closed doors.
Hi Stuart, some great results for Italian clubs - what do you make of Zebre's win over Cardiff and Trevison beating Munster and does that bode well for Italy rugby?
STUART REPLIES: The highlight of the weekend for me. I have addressed the subject in my column. Swallows and summers and all that comes as a warning amidst the deserved celebrations for Italian fans.
Stuart, On form who do you think is in contention for the England backrow? Michael Bell
STUART REPLIES: Form and selection are not always the bedfellows managers have you believe. Form is a tricky one after just a month. Robshaw was good on Friday, Billy Vunipola was excellent against Bath and Tom Wood is playing ok. The loss of Tom Croft and the slow start by Ben Morgan and Matt Kvesic is a slight concern but Stuart Lancaster will have his plans and form might not affect them.
Hi Stuart another sick Saints fan here! Do you think there's be a danger (as with the recent Ashes cricket) that rugby refs may have become too big a part of the news, rather than the players and the game itself - either by being seen to be sub-standard on TMO replays or just by being too intrusive in the game? Also do you think that we suffered not having Alex Corbisiero up front? And finally discipline aside, what are the key areas that Saints should be looking to improve? David Hill
STUART REPLIES: David, I think the TMO is an improvement but it is currently also a part of the problem because referees are not trusting their judgement often enough. The protocol of some of the questions and narrow band of answers available to them are teething problems but problems they are. It is an irony that refereeing standards slip as technology grows. It seemed to blight the Ashes (although I was in Australia for the first two tests, so quietly enjoyed cricket's problems!)
But the Saints issue was not about technology. How the officials missed the players offside from the kick-off I do not know, but two things here; how often do they look and none of the off side players 'interfered' in the kick-off action. Rather like an offside player who does not interfere with a defender and is therefore not penalised, could this explain the non actions of Mr Fox?
The failure to see the ball pop out of the scrums however; no possible explanation other than bad refereeing. It was tough on the Saints but Jim Mallinder was right to focus on what the Saints - not the refs must do. AC was a big loss and Gloucester arguably were just about the better team but that does not impact upon your team. No side will win every game. Kahn Fotuali'i has been a slow starter. He will broaden the variety of the Saints game when he finds his feet. No panic required just yet.

This is the usual consensus type that will be calculated. Contigs can be selected from a file of file names or a list. In addition tagged regions can be masked or marked (see section Active tags and masking), and output can be in experiment file (see section Experiment File), fasta (Pearson,W.R. Using the FASTA program to search protein and DNA sequence databases. Methods in Molecular Biology. 25, 365-389 (1994)) or staden formats. If experiment file format is selected a further menu appears that allows users to select for the inclusion of tag data in the output file.
The contigs for which to calculate a consensus can be a particular "single" contig, "all contigs", or a subset of contigs whose names are stored in a "file" or a "list". If a file or list is selected the browse button will be activated and if it is clicked an appropriate browser will be invoked. If the user selects "single" then the dialogue for choosing the contig, and the section to process, becomes active.
If the user selects either "mask active tags" or "mark active tags" the "Select tags" button is activated, and if it is clicked, a dialogue panel appears to enable the user to select which tag types should be used in these processes. If "mask" is selected all segments covered by the tag types chosen will not be written as ACGT but as defi symbols. If "mark" is selected the tagged segments will be written in lowercase characters. Masking is useful for producing a sequence to screen against other sequences: only the unmasked segments will produce hits.
The "strip pads" option will remove pads ("*"s) from the consensus sequence. In the case of experiment files this will also automatically adjust the position and length of the annotations to ensure that they still mark the correct segment of sequence.
The routine can write its consensus sequence (plus extra data for experiment files) in "experiment file", "fasta" and "staden" formats. The output file can be chosen with the aid of a file browser. If experiment file format is selected the user can choose whether or not to have "all annotations", "annotations except in hidden", or "no annotations" written out with the sequence. If the user elects to include annotations the "select tags" button will become active and if it is clicked a dialogue for selecting the types to include will appear.

Hi all (and badcell!)
I would like to requote badcell's post!
In theory it's not absolutely necessary to dephosphorylate if you are using two REs with cohesive ends, but in fact, if the restriction efficiency of the enzymes is not 100%, you will get some molecules which have been cut only with one or the other enzyme, so they will religate if they are phosphorylated. One useful trick when cloning using two different sites is checking if you loose any site in the vector multiple cloning site (if any site is between the two REs you are using and not anywhere else in the vector). If this is the case, and this site is not found neither in your insert, you can digest your ligation with that enzyme and you will cut only your religated plasmids and not the ones with your insert, which will not have that site. So you will get only colonies with the insert.
This actually sounds great and i want to try it! But i do have a question... please correct me if am wrong! When we RE double digest the vector, we always gel purify it. So i am guessing every unwanted bit will be gone (including the middle bit between the two RE's we used!). So if the vector gets religated (during the ligation!), then there wont be a middle portion!! Right?? Can anyone please explain this to me?
Thanks in advance!
