Many of you have probably heard about Bill Gates and Steve Jobs joint interview at the Wall Street Journal D conference. The WSJ D Conference web site gives a summary/transcript and links to the various parts of the interview. I found the whole interview very interesting. Both gentlemen had nice things to say about the other. People who were looking for sparks to fly and controversy in this meeting were disappointed.
If on the other hand you watch this interview hoping to hear about some of the historical interactions between these two men and the companies they head you will get your wish. You'll also hear about the need for and value in partnerships. Steve Jobs names partnering with other companies as one of the things Microsoft has done well and that he wishes Apple had done better earlier. Both men talk about the continuing partnership between Microsoft and Apple which goes back to the Apple II days. There is some interesting talk about the future of computers and technology as well. Steve carefully avoids talking about some upcoming announcements of course. The things Bill talks about are somewhat general. Both agree that predicting five years out in this field is risky and not easy at all.
I found the interview very interesting. I suspect that it would be interesting to a lot of students as well. If nothing else it is fun and different to see these two men crack the occasional joke.
Some people, especially non-teachers, may find this video a bit "rabid" (as one friend of mine expressed) but I think teachers will appreciate it. We live in a society that all too often sets value on people and what they do by how much money they make. Teachers, as well as dedicated public servants in a number of other fields, know that what they do is far more important than what they get paid. Taylor Mali in this video shouts this out for a lot of us.
Wait for the the last line "I make a [minor expletive] difference - what about you?" Now that is a statement and a question worth expressing.
Tucker Balch, a computing professor at Georgia Tech, blames the decline in computer science students in part on what he calls the "prime number" syndrome. According to this AP article the Prime Number Syndrome is:
It's the traditional way to teach computer science students by asking them to write programs that spit out prime numbers, the Fibonacci sequence or other mathematical series.
It's the traditional way to teach computer science students by asking them to write programs that spit out prime numbers, the Fibonacci sequence or other mathematical series.
In short part of the problem with computer science courses is that they are too much about the math. Students are not all interested in the math. That may be partially a result of computer science courses originating from math or engineering departments. A lot of the people in the early years of computer science came out of mathematical traditions. Math was/is interesting to them so that is how they teach computer science. Some of the problem today may be that not everyone thinks that calculating prime numbers is really that exciting. They are interested in a lot of other problems though.
Some computer science departments are realizing this and are bringing other disciplines into the mix earlier in the program. At some places it is robotics. In some game development. In still others there is this new idea of "media computation" programs. There are a growing number of computational biology programs as well. These programs are all about getting students interested by expanding beyond just doing the math.
Now at some point most computer science majors wind up needing more math classes. And there are a lot of concepts that computer scientists use that are related to mathematical concepts. But the days when we need to weed out students early by forcing them to fit the mold of pure math interests are long gone.
A lot of high school computer science teachers also teach math these days. In fact in some states a math certification is required to teach computer science. I guess I was a rarity though. I'm never been a real mathematician and while I assigned the odd Fibonacci sequence a lot of the projects I came up with on went in other directions. I like the idea of the robotics curriculum they are developing at Georgia Tech. But I'm a robot sort of guy. I'm sure the media computation and bioengineering programs also attract a lot of fans. I tend to think that at the high school level, especially for a very first course, what you might want is a lot of variety. The more different disciplines that come into play the more likely you are to catch the interest of more students. And to me, getting students interested is a major goal of a first programming course.

Consider the following scenario: Some rather frightening prisoners — ones that might not elicit your sympathy — are placed in a situation where many are abused. Complaints are made to the proper authorities; it remains unclear if any of them made their way to chief executive George W. Bush. Those complaints largely go nowhere. Then months later, photographic evidence of the abuse emerges, whipping up a media outcry and a promise by Bush to get to the bottom of the atrocities.
This scenario is not just the story of Abu Ghraib circa 2004. It was also a prisoner abuse scandal from 1997 in Brazoria County, Texas, when Bush was governor.
Texas Prisons: 'The Second Circle of Hell'
Texas has one of the largest penal systems in the country, with a prison population of 150,000, and it is widely considered one of the most punitive systems.
Because of a prison abuse case in 1972, Judge William Wayne Justice eventually ruled that a sentence to a Texas prison amounted to cruel and unusual punishment and therefore unconstitutional.
"It's like a picture of the second circle of hell that emerges from that judgment," Elsner said.
At the time of the Brazoria County incident, the system had been under court supervision for nearly 30 years — a period that began long before Bush became governor, and continued after he left. But the story of the Brazoria County scandal is an interesting one.
The story broke in August 1997 when a videotape was broadcast on the local Fox affiliate in Austin, Texas. The tape — shot on Sept. 18, 1996 — showed deputies in a Brazoria County private prison assaulting prisoners, wielding stun guns against them and allowing a German shepherd to bite a few of them. Some inmates were poked with electronic prods and ordered to say, "I love Texas."
"I think 'appalling' is the right way to describe the treatment of those prisoners," then-Gov. Bush told the TV station. "As I understand, the DA is calling in the FBI and the state of Texas will fully cooperate with any investigation."
The prisoners — originally from Missouri, but shipped to the private Texas facility — had been complaining about the abuse for months. Two of the prisoners sat down with ABC News to tell us about that day.
"I had never endured anything like that in my life," said Aundray Wright, who is now serving a five-year sentence for a different charge, second-degree assault.
Wright remembers the guards coming toward him as if it were yesterday: "He said, 'Move it. Get your ass,' and I'm trying to move. So I see the guy, he's walking with the dog, and I'm thinking he's going inside the module, but he comes beside me. [The guard], he gets real close to my ear. He's like, 'Move your ass, get down there.' And all of a sudden, I'm crawling, and I feel a bite, you know, on my leg."
Wright says "you can see where the dog bites pierced the skin right here and kind of just, you know how dogs, when they grab a hold of something, they kind of jerk a little bit and up, you know." Of the incident, he says, "I call it more than abuse. I mean, it was a mental and physical abuse."

SO I have been researching CD's for months now.. .and I thought I would be able to use one size AIO's but I don't think that is going to work for my LO... he is slender and long .. and I just tried to dry the OS AIO's I bought and it took me 2 hours and they are still not dry AND I have brand new dryer!! I am scared to try anything but AIO's! I apologize for the stupidity of this question... But can someone please explain to me the difference (and your opinions) of pockets vs prefolds? And possible give me examples of each?!
pockets vs prefolds vs... Need serious help..I am lost!

A prefold needs to be pinned or Snappied, and it needs a cover.
A pocket is like an AIO, but it needs to be stuffed. You can use a PF to stuff a pocket. The advantage of pockets is the convenience of AIOs without the dry time.
Those aren't the only options for either, but it will give you an idea.
My stash is primarily fitteds (which also need a cover) and pockets. We have PFs, but we use them mainly to stuff pockets and on laundry days.
my stash is AIOs (sized, not OS, I couldn;t figure those out) and fitteds. I didn;t find my AIOs to take that long to dry, but I turn them inside out and dry them with a dry towel or two, which seems to help.
I hated stuffing pockets. I now only have 3 pockets. I am seriously considering buying some prefolds. I have no idea why.
Mom to C (6/07) and V (10/08)
I'm out like a boner in sweatpants.
A prefold is a flat piece of cloth, thicker in the middle, thinner on the sides. You have to fold it, and may want to pin or Snappi it, and then add a cover.
A pocket, as described above, is kind of like an AIO without the middle. You stuff the middle to be as abosrbent as you like. You take them apart to wash them, and then stuff when dry or before you put on the baby.
My stash is primarily a mix of prefolds and pockets. I like the prefolds when we're up and around and doing things, and when diaper changes can be done frequently without disturbing the baby too much (you know, you take her away from what she's doing, she gets grumpy for a minute, but you're not waking her up.) I like the pocket diapers for naptime and overnight, and when we're out of the house and I would have to look for a place to change her, or I'd be changing the baby plus juggling my purse, a diaper bag, and whatever else I have.
"Trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table..."
Thanks for the info :)

Within their secret lair in deep space, Dr. Cortex and his cronies are sour over their previous defeats by Crash Bandicoot. [[BigBad Uka Uka]] is giving them an intense chewing out, they still haven't conquered the world, and [[CardCarryingVillain their current evil productivity]] is pathetic. Within their convension over how to eliminate their nemesis, N. Gin brainlessly mentions Dr. Cortex's super secret project, Crunch Bandicoot, a super mutant with unbelievable strength. However, he requires a completing element. Uka Uka immediately devises upon releasing The Elementals, an destructive band of Elemental masks that had previously been imprisoned by Aku Aku, that can be used to power Crunch as well as bring chaos and destruction to the entire planet. Once again it is up to Crash and his sister Coco to save the day.
The sixth installment in the ''Franchise/CrashBandicoot'' series and the fourth platformer title. ''Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex'' was also the first title in the series to make a leap to a sixth generation console. It was developed by Creator/TravellersTales' Knutsford division and originally released on the PlayStation2 and later ported to the Xbox and NintendoGameCube.
!!Tropes Used In This Game:
* AdvancingWallOfDoom: In "Wizards And Lizards", you have to run from a giant dragon, while in "Jungle Rumble" to take control of a jeep to drive away from a herd of rhinos. And let's not forget the tsunami in the aptly named 'Tsunami'.
* ActionGirl: Coco. Even more so than in ''Warped''. Instead of just riding vehicles, Coco actually has her own platforming levels.
* AllThereInTheManual: The origin of the Elementals and the crystal's usage in defeating them outside another MacGuffin.
* BagOfSpilling: Crash loses all of the powers he gained from the previous game, and has to re-obtain them the ''exact same way'' he did in ''Warped!''. The only change is that the first ability was altered to the tiptoe move and the super body slam was moved to a bonus area.
* BlackoutBasement: The secret level "Knight Time", which is essentially a slightly tweaked variant of "The Gauntlet" albeit with only a wandering fire fly as lighting to guide your way through the level.
* BonusFeatureFailure: Many of the alternate vehicles and gameplay modes are actually more limited and unwieldly to play compared to Crash himself. Coco in particular works to the same effect as Crash diluted to just his primary moveset.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Crunch as it turns out, after the Elementals are defeated, the "missing element", that is, Cortex's control over his mind, is missing once again.]]
* CatAndMouseBoss: The third boss, a molten lava mutation of Crunch chases after you. The tables turn after you make your way to a mech with a freeze projectile.
* CreativeClosingCredits: A rather odd one, with Crash and a disco styled Cortex Commando jiving to some techno music.
* DancingMookCredits: The credits sequence has the titular character dancing with a DiscoDan version of the game's garden variety enemy.
* DemotedToExtra: Cortex and Uka Uka's minions, N. Gin, Tiny, N. Tropy and Dingodile appear only briefly in the introduction, following which they appear only as stage hazards in a few levels.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: In ''Videogame/CrashBash'', Coco was an alternate for Crash in terms of gameplay, having an identical spin attack. Here Coco has obtained kick attacks in their place. Granted it could be taken with a grain of salt since her abilities overall still work to the same effect as Crash's (albeit with a lower number of abilities). Arguably keeping her with identical moves as Crash would have actually been more productive.
* DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud: Cortex actually generates almost harmless tornadoes with floating mechs.
* TheDragon: Crunch to Dr. Cortex. Cortex himself is this to Uka Uka.
* DullSurprise: Coco and Crunch noticeably never change facial expressions no matter how they're supposed to be feeling at that moment.
* DummiedOut: The game uses a few areas from early development and planted new levels on top of them. Ice Station Bandicoot for example uses a small platforming area as a background under the helicopter racetrack. An unused [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brXCe8gUL34 racing]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS-Ky4_RRW4&feature=related dogfight]] level have also been found inside the game, as well as some extra Coco animations suggesting she was meant to be more fully playable.
* ElementalPowers: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Elementals funnily enough.]] Crunch counts as well when they boost his powers.
** Rok-ko: DishingOutDirt
** Lo-lo: BlowYouAway
** Py-ro: PlayingWithFire
** Wa-wa: MakingASplash
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: It's a ''Crash'' game, what do you expect?
* ExpressiveMask: Aku Aku and Uka Uka. Even more so in beta footage where Aku is animated constantly miming chatter during gameplay.
* ExtendedGameplay: Akin to ''Warped'' after collecting all the crystals, there are the gems, time relics (of three different difficulties) and five hidden stages. Furthering on and collecting all these goodies can expand your completion percentage to 106%.
* FailuresOnIce: Coco is barely able to stay up on ice platforms. Ironically [[IronButtMonkey Crash]] seems more adept.
* GameOverMan: Cortex again.
-->'''Cortex:''' Giving up?...
* GimmickLevel: The gimmick levels outnumber the standard ones.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: The Knight enemies (who for some reason have no pants?) wear white boxers with red dots.
* HubLevel: Coco conveniently enough just finished whipping one up as the Elementals attacked. And it looks near exactly like the one in ''Warped'' as well.
* HumanSacrifice: [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Early footage of the game]] depict a more story-centric level in which Coco is captured by gorilla tribesmen and placed in a cage hovering dangerously over a pit of lava.
* KnightOfCerebus:
** Though {{Mark Hamill}}'s hammy acting ensures he is still somewhat entertaining, Py-ro comes off as much more sinister and manic than [[LaughablyEvil his bretheren]], even refered to as the strongest and most evil mask in the manual. He was in fact meant to be the final Elemental boss, though was switched with Lo-lo for unknown reasons.
** Crunch himself lacks most of the LaughablyEvil traits of Cortex's other minions, the creepy transformations caused by the Elemental masks doesn't help. [[spoiler: This however, proved to be a result of being BrainwashedAndCrazy, as later games show, the normal, good-natured Crunch isn't serious or intimidating, at all.]]
* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: The original PS2 version suffered from very long loading times. You could be waiting up to a minute just to play each level. The "Greatest Hits"/"Platinum" versions as well as the [=GameCube=] and Xbox ports fixed this to a more reasonable fifteen or so seconds.
* TheManyDeathsOfYou: As usual, the developers take great fun in imagining any possible amusing manner Crash can lose a life, ranging from being torched to ashes, turned into a bat or freezing into a mini iceburg. Coco gets in on it too, though not nearly to the same extent.
* MinecartMadness: The start of "Compactor Reactor." "Ghost Town" is a minecart race.
* MissionPackSequel: ''The Wrath of Cortex'' for the most part emulates the mechanics exactly as ''Warped'' had previously. It wasn't the last game in the series to follow this method.
* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:After another failure, Uka attempts to smoke Cortex with an energy ball as punishment, which misses and hits the circuitry of the space station, causing a breakdown.]]
--> [[spoiler: '''Uka Uka:''' This is all '''your''' fault! If you hadn't ducked out of the way, none of this would have happened!!!]]
* NoSidepathsNoExplorationNoFreedom: Though there are ''slightly'' more frequent use of widened pathways or secret areas than the previous titles, it loyally follows their very linear structure. Apparently the game was originally planned to subvert this and act as a free roamer.
* PointyHairedBoss: Uka seems to have converted into one since the previous titles, even frequently managing a [[WesternAnimation/TheJetsons Mr Spacely]]-style bellow of Cortex's name.
* OffModel: The large majority of the cast seem a little "different" from previous titles, the game's designs seem to base themselves more on the early CG promo art for the series than the actual in game graphics of the earlier games.
* PassThroughTheRings: "Avalanche" has you snowboard through rings as a gem minigame, also used in "Ice Station Bandicoot" in a race against a magic carpet riding polar bear no less...
* SiblingYinYang: As usual, Crash and Coco, and Aku Aku and Uka Uka.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Zigzagged; Coco suffers a few AmusingInjuries, but not ''nearly'' to the same extent as [[IronButtMonkey her brother]]. She seems to be far less natural on ice however.
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: "Arctic Antics" and "Avalanche." Made especially difficult in the latter due to the sloped pathway and cluttered path of Nitro crates ahead.
* TitleScream: A lot less in your face than the previous game.
* VillainDecay: Uka Uka's VillainDecay really sets in in this game. Rather than being the menacing force of evil he was in ''Warped'' and ''Crash Bash'', he comes across as a petty, loud-mouthed jerk who contributes next to nothing to Cortex's schemes. Even when he finally loses his patience with Cortex and attacks him, he fails to hurt him in any real capacity. He somewhat recovers from this decay in ''Crash of the Titans'', only to go through it again in ''Mind Over Mutant''.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The Elementals disappear after the final boss battle, their fate never explained. What becomes of them only makes sense if you have [[AllThereInTheManual read the manual]], which explains that the crystals are used to imprison the Elementals once again.
* XRaySparks: During the Lo-lo boss fight, Crunch's skeleton appears when he charges up electrical attacks.

Hey! I'm a remote site medic that just got back from Australia. I moved down to SD from Canada about a year ago, and haven't had much time to meet people with these 5 week rotations. I'm hoping to meet somebody who is equally as easy-going and is looking to have some fun. I'm not shy, and would prefer to go out with somebody who likes to laugh and has a thirst for travel. Thus far, my job has taken me to eastern Canada, the gulf of mexico, Uruguay, Argentina and now Australia. Ive also toured a little around indonesia...but South America is by far my favorite. An SA trip is definitely in my future and I'm looking for someone to join me. I'm a pretty easy going guy and people generally don't hate me. I'm into any music that can make you feel something...and even try to play a little myself. Musically inclined is definitely a bonus with me. I'm hockey obsessed and like to box. Unfortunately, doing either of those things consistently has been hard with my job. I'm hoping to move on before this year's end, and it would be nice to meet somebody that feeds my ambition and inspires me to reach for all the things i want out of life. I'd like to think I can help you do the same.

This short biography at the Monk Zone strips away a lot of the mystique. Monk, according to this version, was a family man and a savvy veteran of the New York City jazz scene. The stories of his excessive eccentricities were inventions of the press. Perhaps, perhaps not. PBS offers more information and links. Monk was interesting to look at as well as to listen too. Perhaps that's the reason there are great videos available of him. Here are three: Straight, No Chaser, 'Round Midnight and Epistrophy. I find Nutty, which I believe is a bit lesser known, easier to understand. Links to the The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz and a discography provide more insight.

I bought two cheap and slightly broken diecast cars from flea market and made PA-vehicles out of them. Since i'm not an car person, i have no clue what they are.
Not so much freedom as with plastic cars but still lots of fun to make. I used brake fluid with both of them to remove the original shiny black paint. With first one (skull markings) i tried different weathering techniques; hairspray, AK-liquid and sponge.
With second (biohazard markings) i used hairspray and salt, and i liked the result very much. So,if i recycle more of diecast toys, i will use that technique again.
I also used paperboard, cardboard and paper as usual.

There would be fewer conflicts if more women were in authority
Posted: May 21, 2014|
DAVID Culm says in his letter "It's wrong that women should serve on front line" (May 17), that it is ludicrous to allow women to serve in a combat role on the front line.
He says: "Nature ensures our mankind's future with the existence of feminine women who protect, procreate and who do not destroy, which is not the role of most men".
David seems to be implying that most men do not have a role to protect, or play any part in procreation and that most men are out to destroy, which is rather sad and not true.
If a government decides to send its troops to a front line situation, then women can be taught to kill in the same way as men. However, it may be that we would not end up in fighting each other so often if more women were in positions of authority, in governments, in politics, business, military services etc.
In order to lower the risks of future military action, both men and women need to work to redress the balance between rich and poor and to mitigate the effects of our overuse of the earth's resources.
Famines and floods do not respect national boundaries or wealth or poverty.
If we fail to tackle climate change issues and the increasing injustice in how wealth is distributed, we will end up with one group fighting another for scarce resources of water and food. It will make no difference to the person being killed whether the gun was fired by a man or a woman.
If we are not to end up destroying the world as we know it, both men and women will be required to take action.
Women fought hard to get the vote because they wanted their voices to be heard.
One action that is open to all of us is to let the parties know what we think of their policies for our future by voting in the European election. Contrary to what you hear on the TV and radio, there are more than four parties to vote for and your vote can make a difference.

COVINGTON - The Eastside's boys basketball team will have to look past the hostile crowd in the hope of advancing in the playoffs.They have to focus on the job at hand, beating the AP Class AAA No. 10 Gainesville Red Elephants at home. "I used to coach in that region and that school is a tough place to play. They have their fans and they do a great job of supporting their team. Our kids are going to have to keep their composure and stay focused on what we're trying to do," Eastside coach Michael Gerald said. "They haven't lost any games at home all season. That's going to be a challenge to go in there." The game, which starts at 8:30 p.m. on Friday, will be a true test for the Eagles as they must find a way to hit their outside shots and loosen up Gainesville's zone defense if they want to soften up the inside enough. "We're not going to be bothered by people playing us in the zone. We've seen enough of it throughout the year. That's why we need to make some outside shots," Gerald said. "If you can't make those shots and they're scoring it's just going to make it a difficult situation in terms of trying to pull off a victory on somebody else's court. "Either way, man or zone, it's not going to change what we do. We're going to keep doing what we do and if we make enough shots, whatever they're doing we'll counter it. We're going to have to come in with the right attitude." If the Eagles are to have a chance, they will have to control the glass on both sides of the court. One thing that makes the Red Elephants as good as they are is not their size or their shot-making ability, but their athletic ability to go after the ball. "Defensively, we've got to play a solid game. We've got to box out and rebound the basketball and not give them a lot of second- and third-chance opportunities. They're athletic and opportunistic. They can rebound the basketball very well and they attack that glass. I don't see that they have great shooting or anything like that," Gerald said. If Neal Latimore, Cameron Robinson and a few others can make their outside shots, Gerald is hoping that Jhastin Thomas will be able to create some baskets and control the glass under the basket. The other thing the Eagles have to do on the floor is put the region playoffs behind them and concentrate on the present. After beating Oconee County in the quarterfinals to make it to the state playoffs, the Eagles lost their last two games giving them the Region 8-AAA No. 4 seed. "The main thing is that we're pleased that we're still playing. I like where we are. We're in a good bracket. We've got to take it one game at a time and see if we can win," Gerald said. "After that game, if we're successful, we'll try to work on whatever we need to work on to win the next game. You just want to be in and we're in. Now we'll do whatever we have to do to stick around for as long as we possibly can." Manny Fils can be reached at email@example.com.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke met at the White House on Wednesday to discuss the need for long-term U.S. deficit reduction and the European financial crisis.
The meeting came a day after the U.S. central bank announced it would offer super-low interest rates for two more years. The move was an unprecedented step to stem an economic free fall that dragged the stock market down earlier this week.
After the Dow Jones industrial average surged on Tuesday, it fell again sharply on Wednesday, wiping out Tuesday's gains.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, White House chief of staff Bill Daley and top White House economist Gene Sperling were also in the meeting. The White House said it was the third time Obama has met with Bernanke this year.
The president also met separately with Geithner on Wednesday, and was scheduled to meet with business leaders later in the week.
The series of economic meetings follow the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating after the partisan fight over the debt ceiling increase and deficit reduction, as well as the latest jobs report showing the unemployment rate still sitting above 9 percent.

Linux - time to give it a try
I need advice...
So what I am interested in:
Relatively friendly distribution - ie I download the disc, put it in, and expect it to install by clicking on options
... no need to read a large manual, just a little.
Hardware supported? Ati drivers any good these days? NF2 Mobo... AMD Athlon CPU...
Ummm... I have one HDD still on Fat 32, hope I can install there without using partition magic or something similar to free some disc space (I assume Linux doesn't support NTFS)...
What games can I play
AFAIK RCTW: ET; UT 2003; Q3... anything else supported natively - not into fiddling about with WineX or paying extra in order to play...
Are all Q3 games supported natively, like Call of Duty, MoH???
Ummm what else is important - why do I want to use it, well just to give it a try, as I assume come Longhorn time I might want to switch to something free... even though Win 2K looks to be supported for a long time coming...
Other than that... hmmm anything that I should think of, and how much time do you anticipate will take to load a new OS/drivers into the position
to be able to surf the net and install a game?
Let's say with Win 2K I need about 1 hour if I am not reformatting the HDD.
And what about the OS Boot manager, as I have 5 different Win 2K installations on there already, of which I use three for different purposes, and two are idle... I would not want to mess that up.

Wanting a friend first with adventure, and see how that goes...
I've been told I'm full of enthusiasm for many things in life, and that I always seem happy. I love adventures and trying new things. I'm always up for a good time with friends, especially if there's something like a sports game, biking, or water involved. I love to be around people who are fun, nice, and interesting. When with me, a deep conversation is definitely not out of the realm of possibility, though playfulness is a must...and often :). I love animals and love the outdoors. I consider myself low-maintenance and very easy-going. I love to laugh. I have a great group of friends...some in Nashville and some in Northern California (where I was born and raised). My family is amazing and I love them very much. The type of man I'm usually drawn to is adventurous and career-driven with future goals. Respect, honesty, loyalty and affection are important qualities that I gravitate toward. I definitely like to try new things, and sharing those experiences with someone is always nice, and that's what I want.

For fun (though it used to be a career) I play music at festivals. I enjoy it more as a hobby than a career now. It makes me happy. Biking, yoga, swimming, sports games, conversations, new adventures, ethical people, family, friends, arts...
I am up for almost anything...except hunting. I like to vary my experiences, and bars have gotten kind of old to me, so that's not what I call fun on a regular basis.

I saw this last week and absolutely adored it. I was quite worried before seeing it as there was so much hype about it I was scared it wouldnt live up to expectations, its my favourite stage musical and so had I hated it I would have been devastated! It definitely didnt disappoint though.
Loved all the cast. Been a fan of Hugh since I saw him in Oklahoma and so it was great to see him in another musical. Like a lot of people have said I didnt love his Bring Him Home as I have been spoilt with so many beautiful versions in the past but his versions of everything else and his acting more than made up for that. You could totally believe his Valjean. I liked Russell Crowes Javert, hes no Philip Quast singing wise but he acted it well and his singing is growing on me! Anne Hathaway amazing. I pretty much cried through every scene she was in. It was great to see some west end theatre peeps in the film too Killian Donnelly, Hadley Fraser et al. Great stuff.
Really want to watch it again as there was so much to take in. There were a few new bits that I liked that arent in the musical - Javert making Valjean pick the flag up at the beginning as it made the runaway cart bit clearer. I imagine the film is a lot easier to follow than the musical for first timers. Loved the final battle, the barricade boys banging on the doors was heart breaking. Glad they kept the enjolras death position (?!) in although nothing can beat that reveal than the stage version with the music. So moving. The epilogue was beautiful. I sobbed! Lovely touch with the bishop being there.
Its so good to read the film getting so many positive reviews. I guess it will boost ticket sales for the show and mean that wont be closing any time soon!
Has anyone read the book? I have had it years but never managed to find the motivation to read it. Think its about time I gave it a try.

Good Enough for a Marble Worker
I was not raised to diet. A few years ago, my family traveled to an amazing place in Italy called Forte dei Marmi, which means "mountain of marble." In fact, these are the very quarries that supplied the Carrara Michelangelo used to create his masterpieces. But while art enthusiasts make pilgrimages to ponder the exact spot where the marble for the Pietà was cut, we were on a different questwe were after lardo.
Lardo is salt-cured pork fat, kind of like bacon, but from the back and without the smokeor the flesh. It also has an herbal taste and aroma, from the rosemary and sage that are rubbed in along with the salt. Our search took us away from Forte dei Marmi, on Tuscany's west coast, and straight up-hill into the whiteness of stone until we reached a shiny, ivory town carved out of the marble. We call it "the town of lardo" but its real name is Colonnata.
It makes perfect sense that Colonnata has a tradition of preserving whatever meat is obtained in the grassy areas below. The creamy-white lardo is cured in the cool recesses of marble for at least six months, then sliced paper-thin and kept cool until its moment of glory. For us, that was the simplest, most common preparationa few slices draped over grilled bread. By the time it was walked a few steps to our table, the lardo had become softly translucent, disappearing into the bread. It was luscious and flavorful, as fat tends to be, but far more delicate and complex than what we encounter on a steak or chop.
Speaking of steak, our next course involved a much more decadent lardo treatment. We ordered the tagliata (sliced grilled steak over arugula, which wilts and absorbs the juices from the beef). We didn't know it would be veiled in melting lardhonest. Though it seemed unnecessary, we certainly didn't mind. In New York, it's hard to find this delightful indulgencebut not impossible. At Otto, Mario Batali famously topped pizza with it. At Cacio e Pepe, shrimp is wrapped in lardo. Perhaps the best way to experience it without traveling, though, is to purchase some and simply make bruschetta. Traditionally, this was a high calorie snack for marble workers. Fairway sells it for $6.99 a pound, and Salumeria Biellese sells their own to restaurants and at retail (about $6 per pound). You work hard, too.

In this course, Pulitzer finalist Natalie Fobes shows how to capture engaging portrait shots of couples, families, and other groups using a variety of posing and composition techniques.
The course discusses how to plan for a portrait photo shoot and how to make stylistic decisions regarding props, clothing, and makeup. Next, the course reviews the essentials of posing women and men, starting with a single subject, moving on to a couple, and then working up to large groups. The course also demonstrates how to pose and compose a group portrait in ways that highlight the relationships between group members, whether they're family members or business colleagues. Lastly, to illustrate the time constraints photographers often face, Natalie works against the clock to shoot a group of people she's never met.
The course also covers various postprocessing techniques geared specifically for portraiture, such as working with wrinkles and skin textures.
From my newspaper and magazine background I know that it's important to always get a photograph in the bag. After I'm sure that I've covered the assignment then I allow myself to play a little bit with the lighting, with the poses, with just try to breakout of the creative box and get something kind of cool. It might work, it might not, but unless you really try to expand your vision, you might get kind of stuck in rut.
Earlier in this course you saw me photographing the Rotary Club. As they were walking out the door I noticed this beautiful streak of light coming down and hitting the wall. So I asked a couple of the women if they would mind coming back and posing for me. It was a beautiful shot and a lot different from what I really expected to get out of the Rotary Club group shot. During the family shoot the mom asked if I would get a picture of her and her baby. Well, by that time the baby was distracted by something that was going on in the field behind him.
So instead of just packing up my gear and leaving, I picked up my camera and walked around to make those really beautiful shots of that little boy. With children you just never know how long you're going to have their attention, and I can remember one time a couple years ago that I had two children who just were not interested in posing for me that day. I mean they were kids. It was summer. Why would they want to be inside posing for me? So I was just about ready to call it quits when I saw them climbing up on the stools.
Part of me was a little nervous as as they climbed up, but it was the perfect moment, and it summed up their personalities so well. Their mother was just thrilled that I captured that moment. I like to find different ways to tell stories. I had one assignment to photograph a landscape architect. After doing a safe shot, I noticed that there was a beautiful line of trees up on the hill. So I had him go up there and stand next to them. It turned out to be a very interesting composition, but not one that the editor had expected, but he liked it and he ran it.
The bottom line is that you should be open for opportunities that might be unexpected and unplanned. Often these images are some of my favorites.

Overlay on layer and flattening layers problem.
I have a slight problem, which Im sure is caused by me not using something right, but Id i have multiple layers, and I set one of those layers to "overlay", everything is groovy, until I try to merge/flatten the image, at which point it becomes a mess, by applying that either overlay or multiply at this point to ALL of the layers.
What am I doing wrong?
How to bypass this?
Thanks ahead of time, I appreciate it.

i've had the same problem. when i paint on an overlay, i get it the way i want. but when i try to merge it down with the layer below, photoshop undoes the overlay (i guess) as it merges.
because of this, i have a hard time seeing why everyone loves painting on overlays and mulitplies. unless everyone is maintaining all of their layers while they paint.
in that case, i'm afraid everyone has better hardware than i do.
January 18th, 2009 #3
The problem comes from the opacity of the layer while on the overlay (and some of the other) layers. Hide all the layers you don't want to merge, then Merge Visible (Ctr +Shift + E ((on PC)) if that doesn't work then use Ctr + Alt + Shift + E. That will merge all layers into a new single layer on top off all the previous layers. It should look exactly the same as before.

VS WinterSleeping waiting. VS...we will all die... we will all die. VS SpringWe awake! Leaping into the cycle, we explode in leaves and flowers, a quiet hum of abundant life shivers through us. VSWith a sigh, we begin again.
Epic... And still they struggled on.The immortal still was fighting strongbut his doubts grew, this fight too long.He thought he should have won by nowBut the mortal persisted, he knew not how.... And still they struggled on.The mortal was tired, his body achedFighting with thought, and speed, and all his strengthAgainst a foe no one could beatHe had to be quick on his feet.... And still he struggled on.In the fight, beneath the ponderous moon,The two were locked for agesAnd for the mortal, it must end soonOr the turning of the pagesOf life's book would leave him behindOut of sight and out of mindHaving done nothing with his lifeBut study to fight with a sharpened knife.... And still they struggled on.Doubts and doubts multipliedBehind the immortal's placid eyesfighting 'cross the circle of crushed black stonewho's one half had no side to call it homefor there lay the great abyss.... And still they struggled on.The immortal's thoughts, plagued with doubtfilled up
Water and SaltThe ocean, with tides Flowing in Flowing outAt the moon's call Made of water and salt And little living thingsMother of lifeMy motherSo am I, with tides Flowing in Flowing outAt the moon's call Made of water and salt And little living things.

Of course this happens the day I write about not losing faith in him.
According to Nick Camino of WTAM, Brantley was unexpectedly pulled from today's Spring Training game against the Dodgers in the third inning.
Ryan Spilbourghs on deck. Not sure why? He is taking Michael Brantley's spot in the lineup. #Indians
And later:
Just watched #Indians OF Michael Brantley leave Goodyear Ballpark. Walked out. Not sure what's going on yet.
Paul Hoynes also noticed that something wacky was going on, and chimed in:
#Indians say they will update Brantley's situation later. Did not get traded.
Obviously, we'll update as more details are available.

Free Lap Dances!
FREE LAP DANCES!! Ok- I know that my headline got you all excited (and think... You haven't even seen me dance yet!) Anyways... There are a few things I must mention before you apply for your free lap dance 1. Don't fall in love with me after the dance and turn all stalkerriffic! Unless you're really cute - then you can feel free to stalk me ;-) 2. Aside from lap-dancing, I also rescue orphaned kittens, raise money for woodland creatures, and back in 2002, I won the national thumb wrestling championship (I sleep with the trophy next to me every night!) 3. I'm super-funtastic! So if you're a snob or you don't know how to smile and have fun then we're not gonna be friends 4. I like girls who have a dorky side to them and aren't afraid to be themselves. You know, the kind of girl who secretly likes watching the discovery channel or accidentally snorts when she laughs :-) I love all women but I just keep going back to dorky girls So... If you are cute rather than hot, clever rather than cool, fun rather than snobby, and you have more going for you than just your looks... Then I'd like to meet you (SO SEND ME A MESSAGE OR A WINK - I'M SERIOUS!!) 5. Just send me a flirt!! I'm not one of those people who looks for others to come up with something super original... Frankly I think its sexy when a woman isn't about playing games and isn't scared to contact a guy she likes... Just send me an e-mail saying "Hey gimme my damn lap dance!" or just send me a wink (yup.. It really is that simple) Ok- talk to you later ;-) Oops, almost forgot Work for myself, live by myself, no drama, no kids, no games, college educated... More like Will Smith than 2pac And oh yeah - if all of the shenanigans above didn't make you laugh hysterically (or at least pee your pants a little) then I can already tell that we're not gonna have a good relationship

William and Mary place-kicker and punter Drake Kuhn has left the football team and will play with the Tribe's soccer team this fall, according to team sources.
Kuhn, a fifth-year senior and a Lafayette High graduate, walked on to W&M's soccer team as a goalkeeper. He was an all-state-caliber goalkeeper in high school and played for Tribe soccer coach Chris Norris as a youth.
John Carpenter, a redshirt sophomore from Cumberland, Md., is in line to assume place-kicking and punting duties for the football team as the Tribe prepares for preseason camp. He handled kickoff duties last season and made 3 of 6 field-goal attempts.
Kuhn walked on to the Tribe football team and became the primary kicker and punter the past two seasons. He was named third-team All-CAA as a punter, averaging 42.4 yards per kick. But he made just 7 of 14 field-goal attempts in 2012, with a long of 41 yards.
Kuhn missed two field-goal attempts in a double-overtime loss against nationally ranked James Madison in October, including a 31-yarder that would have won the game in regulation.
Kuhn made 10 of 14 field-goal attempts as a sophomore and 13 of 18 as a redshirt freshman, including his final nine kicks.
The Tribe's soccer team returns a pair of experienced goalkeepers in juniors Bennett Jones and Alex Harrington. Jones started 13 games last season and Harrington five.

While I have always found photography exciting, my painting adventure began after visiting a wildlife art exhibition in Melbourne, Australia. Exploring ways to create colorful contemporary images featuring animals, flowers and other elements of nature is an exciting new venture for me in both painting and photography. As I had graduated from Melbourne University with a BA(Hons) specialising in international relations, my interest is also in portraying the world's exotic species. My aim is to capture their unique personalities and hope they inspire you to learn more about wildlife and the conservation of these amazing animals. I have exhibited extensively in art exhibitions in Victoria and original paintings may be...

I would not stay here again. My wife and I fortunately booked only one night. The Room is dark, smells like mold, and whatever you do, do not look under the sheets at the mattress. The mattress is covered with black mold and god knows what else spots. No one should sleep on such a mattress, and that is why this is 1 star. We brought one bed sheet with us just in case of something like this and our own pillow cases since it takes very little room in luggage and were able to use this to spend the night there. Restaurant is awesome, food is delicious. Location is also awesome. With a few small changes, could be good.

Jamie Redknapp kicks off his World Cup column... and says England can end 44 years of hurt!Back to story
Comments (86)
Daniel Druff (Bath City) (Bath City fan) says...
England have no chance of winning the World Cup not even a 0.000000001% chance. You wanna know why? Because they dont know how to play as a team in comparison to Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Germany, Holland, France, Italy & Serbia not to mention New Zealand! Enland play by themselves trying to look cool thinking they can dribble past a Brazilian! i dont think sooo mate, it's clearly not happening is it. On a serious note, England dont have enough "modern day" players to win. You need midfield maestros and for me none of the teams at the WC have one except from SPAIN who have two - xavi & Ineista! Spain will win this won the WC. And i can predict the next WC too. Argentina will win it in 2014 and finally England will win the WC in 2018 when we are hosts once again!!!

Steve Wright (Chelsea) (Chelsea fan) says...
They've got as much chance of winning it as blackpool have of getting into the champions league next year......we couldnt win it years ago when lampard and gerrard etc were at their best. I also have my doubts about the manager decisions to call back carragher when he's even slower than he ever was and trying to recoup scholes at the last minute. The idea's are the same, the tactics are the same, the team are the same and we are gonna get the same...... out miles before the end........why you think my team chelsea wins the league with foreigners,because the english ones aren't any good,with the exception of the ones we already have.

Another 4 years of 'hurt' on the way England!
Posted 14:20 8th June 2010
Chris Chris (Manchester United fan) says...
Going to be quietely optimistic about our chances this time. I usually get completely carried away and always end up demoralised when we get knocked out. I think the squad is as strong as we could have hoped for and injury's aside we should be getting to the last 4 at least. Like Jamie I would have liked to see Johnson there because I do think he could have given us natural balance on the left side. I think we have a great chance, we should navigate our group without any problems and the draw has been good to us if we progress as well. Spain and Brazil are the only teams I think could give us problems. Argentina have a great squad but their manager is as mad as a wasp, Portugal are a 1 man team, France aren't the force they used to be. They say never count out the Germans but I think this time you can. Holland could be the dark horses this time if they manage to keep the likes of Van Persie and Robben fit. I'm hoping for a England v Brazil final with Crouch to score the winner on 85 mins. Come on England !!
Posted 13:53 8th June 2010
Junior S (Liverpool fan) says...
The media have been so quite this year compared to previous tournaments, there isnt as much rubbish talk on England winning the world cup. Most likely because they and any England supporter know that the team isnt good enough to win it. The point Im making is that I have'nt wanted to launch my TV through the window because of disillusioned idiots!!! Spain to win. England will be lucky to scrape through the group stage after losing to the Yanks.
Posted 11:25 8th June 2010
Jon Bon jovi (Arsenal fan) says...
Musgrove you have got no idea! USA beat you Aussies comfortably & the rest of you England fans need to get behind your team & support the talent you have! Even though I'm American I like English football but the fans are so negative. I hope for a draw & for us both to progress through.
Posted 10:16 8th June 2010
Frank Cronin (Celtic fan) says...
why all the debate regarding engerland? you ain't gonna win it
Posted 10:09 8th June 2010
Steve Musgrove (Manchester United fan) says...
Cmon you Poms, we see this every 4 years from Old Blighty and it all comes crashing down at a penalty shootout. Which you will lose to us Aussies in the round of 16, C'MON THE SOCCEROOS.
Posted 07:36 8th June 2010
Joseph Hills (Liverpool fan) says...
maybe im a pathetic over optamistic idiot but do all these negative people even manage to enjoy football? every game of any team i support truly believe we are going to win if not i wouldnt watch it wheres the fun in that, it aint over till the fat ugly lady sings come un england and if not so be it i know the feeling ill just wait for the next one
Posted 23:11 7th June 2010
Stephen Mackie (Arsenal fan) says...
England will never win this world cup
Posted 22:11 7th June 2010
Roger G (Tottenham Hotspur fan) says...
It's time to put the knives away, Stop the in-fighting and except the decisions that have been taken. We are in the WC in South Africa and need to get behind the team, Manager and all. We are what we are and we will be what we will be, But above all we are ENGLAND and not matter what will be said we will all be watching, shouting at our TV's and willing them on no matter what. 3 LIONS on the shirt.
Posted 20:18 7th June 2010
Grant Barker (Manchester United fan) says...
Of course we have a chance of winning the cup, we are 1 of 6 or 7 teams that have a realistic chance! I hate seeing our own people slate our team and write us off before a ball has even been kicked! We've got Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, and Ashley Cole who could get into any team, and other top notch players in the squad! Why dont people just stop being so negative and get behind our boys, i cant wait!
Posted 19:45 7th June 2010
Alex Thiery (Sheffield Wednesday fan) says...
I wish people would back the team! if our top players stay fit, we've got just as good a chance as anybody! of course spain have an awsome side! but are you going to tell me that portugal played better than us in 2006?? NO! any team can beat any one in the world cup, so lets get behind the boys and COME ON ENGLAND!
Posted 17:17 7th June 2010
Matt Ruddell (Coventry City fan) says...
Speaking as an Irishman, although I am a big England fan too, I can probably give a more objective view than most. Of course England have a great chance to win the world cup! This is a team tournement and they have a quality squad! Yes you get your stand out players but look at Greece in the Euro's, look at France 98, look at Italy in 06, look at any of the great teams to win the world cup and you will see that the sum is always greater than the parts. Zidane wouldn't have been the outstanding player he was in 1998 without Deschamps, Petit etc, doing the hard work to give him the space and opportunites he needed. Rooney needs to perform, so do Lampard and Gerrard but if all of the other pieces click, regardless of how big or small a part they play, then the pressure won't be as great on the "star" players. England have a great team, like any of the other 5 or 6 favourites, but they also have a great spirit and great support. The world cup could finally be coming home again!
Posted 16:21 7th June 2010
Steve Molyneux (Tottenham Hotspur fan) says...
I will chew me own nads off if England win the world cup. They could not beat the 1966 team, half of em are there on reputation and not the season they have just had. I hope they take the wags so they have got someone to blame
Posted 15:56 7th June 2010
Phil Mccrackin (Arsenal fan) says...
Freyan Avari (below) seems to have no idea what he is rambling on about. Leave a comment! not an essay!... Jamie Redknapp is an ex international pro & expert pundit/analyst....& your challenging him somewhat..I'd like to know where your footballing brain has come from..Answers on a postcard please x
Posted 15:13 7th June 2010
Nick Reay (Crystal Palace fan) says...
I can't believe some of the negative comments on here. What's the point in even going if we don't think we're going to win it? We're a top team and on our day can beat anyone. We just need a bit of luck on our side this year, and we can do it. I suggest that everyone saying "England won't win it" wouldn't join in with the nationwide parties/celebrations if we did win it. Stop being so negative and get behind the lads. Come on England!
Posted 13:39 7th June 2010
Vik Deen (Manchester United fan) says...
i'm not sure england can win it. no doubt we have some good players but are we a really good team. we're definetly not as good as brazil and spain. and you have to ask youself are we as good as say.. the netherlands? england should make the last 8 and may make the last 4 but i cant see us winning it. our players are well drilled well organised and deal well with the physical side of the game. but in truth, rooney and joe cole not included, our players like flair. we seem technically inferrior to teams who shudn't be better than us. take the friendly with mexico they were extremly unlucky to lose and it was simply down to better finishing. they played the better football and had they had a rooney, torres, villa etc ect they wud have won. i hope we win but i dont think we can expect to....
Posted 11:26 7th June 2010
Cathal Daly (Liverpool fan) says...
England are in there but the only way they can win if they are solid in defence and rooney and crouchy are on top form.
Posted 10:57 7th June 2010
Mark Baumfield (Newcastle United fan) says...
I think we have got the players to win a World Cup but I dont think they are used particularly well and I think we missed an opportunity leaving out Adam Johnson! A 4-5-1 system would have worked so well... You could have Rooney uptop on his own with Gerrard behind (arguably there two strongest positions). Adam Johnson the best natural left footed player we've had available for a long time and to match it Lennon/J.Cole on the right. Then Barry holding with Lampard attacking from deep as he does week in week out for Chelsea. Why not pick a team to play to their strengths? Instead lose Gerrard out on the left, make Lampard to defensive and let Heskey get in Rooneys way?! But still lets be hopeful, hey?!

From the Lobby's balcony, singers sing classical Italian opera songs and yes even some Disney showtunes. 30 minutes in duration.
The Portofino Bay Resort is one of the most elaborately themed resort around where visitors are whisked into being in Portofino, Italy.
Other budget entertainment alternatives - around the CityWalk Promenade on Fri & Sat evenings there is free live entertainment.
located at universal's city walk is the blue man group theater. the blue man group is an international theatrical company that currently performs in orlando, boston, new york, las vegas, berlin, and tokyo. the blue man group is a theatrical show which combines music, comedy, and multimedia theatrics. a very impressive show at an equally impressive price. ($169 per person).

Latin Quarter
Sounds good huh? Well get yourself over there if you're lucky enough to be staying in Orlando.
Citywalk is part of Universal Studios. It's an entertainment area outside the park gates. There's shopping and restaurants (we highly recommend Emeril's), night clubs and a large high-tech movie theater.
Downtown Orlando is about 23 miles from Walt Disney World Resort, 20 from Kissimmee, 15 from SeaWorld Orlando and 9 from Universal Studios Florida.
The downtown grid consists of an area roughly defined by South St to the south.
Robinson St to the west and Rosalind Ave to the east.
Awesome place to visit, plenty of places to eat & drink. Fun for the whole family in a great atmosphere.
Citywalk is located between Universal's Studios Park and Islands of adventure Park.
It's an entertaiment center where you can find restaurants, shops, clubs, bars, cinemas....
Free entrance!!!!
we ate in a restaurant in the latin quarter it was good but very expensive.
(the day we were there was a flamenco show)

Happy 40th birthday to BMW's M Division
Don your party hat, grab a kazoo and revel in the history of M cars
Posted: 18 May 2012
BMW 1 Series M Coupe
"In the 1M, the journey is the destination. Sounds crass, so how about putting it this way: the present is a fleeting moment; after that, everything is memories. Days after driving the BMW, I could still recall the exact way it tackled particular corners, how it moved over rough surfaces, entire sections of an early-morning blat were vivid in my head..."
As told by TG. You want one.
