Chip Kelly isn't messing around. And we don't just mean the team diet . The new Philadelphia Eagles head coach will not simply hand the keys to the starting quarterback job back to Michael Vick, who missed six games last season with a concussion. Vick will have to earn it. "It's not different than any other position," Kelly said, according to USA Today Sports . "I understand more scrutiny is made on the quarterback position than anything else. Every day we come off the practice field, (the media) wants to know, 'How did the quarterbacks do?' No one was like, 'How did the gunner on the punt team do?'" With training camps set to kick off this month, the 33-year-old Vick will enter into a competition primarily with Nick Foles, who started the games Vick missed in 2012, and also with rookie Matt Barkley. Despite pressure to name the quarterback early, Kelly is staying firm in his desire to let the performance do the talking and has some speculating that the decision won't come until...

California yoga prodigy finds joy in service

Column: Mother's Day is almost here. What do you get your mom that lasts longer than flowers or chocolate? Try these books on for size.
Soul Seeing: The brain is a terrible thing. One in four Americans, from babies to retired football players, suffers from a brain disorder each year. And that's just now.
Unless you have been living in absolute isolation for the past year, you know about the "fiscal cliff." The term is popular shorthand for the financial conundrum that the U.S. government faced at the end of 2012, when the Budget Control Act of 2011 was scheduled to take effect. Hyped incessantly by the media, the so-called fiscal cliff was purported to be an economic Armageddon whose effects would be grave and far-reaching.
I believe each human being has a vision of a new world, a world different from the one in which we're actually living, a world free from the pain and frustrations we're daily forced to endure. Such dreaming seems to be an essential trait of human nature.
Practically none of our Scripture writers take pen to papyrus unless there are problems in the communities for whom they write. Surfacing these problems is one of the main tasks of biblical exegetes. There never was a "golden age" of faith; each generation of believers had difficulties putting their faith into their everyday lives, difficulties that continue to pop up generations and centuries later. That's why people of faith eventually saved these particular writings. They helped them understand the implications and pitfalls of their own faith.
Doesn't it seem bittersweet that even though we are in the midst of our annual celebration of Easter and all the joys we have in Jesus, the sacred texts call our attention to the suffering that is our lot as believers?
Soul Seeing: Forgiveness is the only way to begin anew, and Pope Francis has proven how much he appreciates its healing value.
Diana Butler Bass says in the 21st century, the Catholic church has become less of an institution and more of a church of the people of God.
A week has passed since our annual celebration of Jesus' resurrection, the central tenet that informs and inspires our worship together for the remainder of the Easter season -- and always. Although it may not be clearly evident at first glance, we have made our way from one period of our salvation history into another. We have turned the page from the time of Jesus of Nazareth, who came as one of us, who went about doing good, who suffered for his goodness and for the truth and justice of his teaching, who died innocently for the sake of sinners and who rose to live eternally in glory.

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) is developing a tactical UAV that can carry a payload of 500kg (1,100lb).
The UAV will have two variants, one with a V-tail and the second with a twin-boom tail. Both will have a wingspan of 17m (56ft) and boast a 12h endurance.
Greg Waldron/Flightglobal
Models of the two systems at the Seoul International Aerospace & Defense Exhibition show them carrying small bombs on pylons beneath the wings, as well as a sensor ball and bulge beneath the fuselage for a radar system.
KAI expects both variants to perform their first flights in 2017, but the South Korean army's degree of interest in the programme is unclear.
The company's main domestic rival, Korean Air, also displayed a number of UAVs at the show, including a conceptual jet-powered unmanned combat air vehicle.

Whether she's on the red carpet or walking the streets of Manhattan's Upper East Side, Gossip Girl's Blake Lively seems to have found the secret to confidence. And we just found out what it is for her (because no matter how many pairs of Louboutins or designer dresses you own, everyone feels self-conscious sometimes.)
"I have insecurities like any girl. I used to be really shy and unconfident. I hated being tall. Walking the red carpet is scary, so I pretend to be Marilyn Monroe – someone who owned their sexuality and projected this incredible aura of self-confidence."
Marilyn Monroe, you say? Well, Blake definitely channeled her confidence idol in Season 5 of Gossip Girl. Check out the pics below!

Third Coast National exhibit on display at K Space Contemporary
CORPUS CHRISTI - On view at K Space Contemporary is the popular "Third Coast National" exhibit. The non-thematic, juried exhibition of art work from across the nation marks K Space Contemporary Gallery's 5th anniversary.
Stumbling off the sidewalk, out of the bright sunlight and escaping the blaring music coming from the building across the street, I was greeted with Candace Hicks's "Composition in Green" and "Composition in Blue II." Both mimic composition books, the kind you had to buy before some exams in college. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the squiggles of color on the composition books were not the norm. The blue one was made up of hundreds of silhouettes of repeated hand signals and the green one was made up of hundreds of silhouettes of nude women.
The figure, which fell out of favor during the 20th Century, seems to be making a return. Speaking to a couple of museum curators recently, I realized just how strong the art of portraiture and the figure are becoming in contemporary art. While viewing Nancy Lamb's, "Governor's Trio," I felt like I was in a familiar scene, standing in a group at a cocktail party, staring down at feet, trying to think of something erudite to say. Lamb also has work in the permanent collection of the Art Museum of South Texas.
There are some beautiful photographs in the exhibit. Marilyn Waligor's "plastic assembly #1" is a very dramatic depiction of spotlighted clear, plastic bottles seemingly on stage with dramatic draping curtains. Although the bottles are not necessarily figures they are reminiscent of dancing figures on a stage. Jennifer Arnold, a photographer, sculptor, inventor, and art maker shocked her film with cold water to create intentional grain in "Driveway Lookouts." The figure this time is in the form of dogs.
While browsing the gallery, artist Sharon Forsythe mentioned another trend that she saw in the exhibit: irony. Some of the works are uncanny or mysterious. For instance, altering a studio portrait by photographer Isaiah West Taber, Gerald Lopez, created, "The Fly." The result is a strange enigma of a fly headed gentleman. Taber, who photographed Ulysses S. Grant and other presidents, was one of the West's premier pioneer photographers. I am sure Taber would be surprised to see the results of Lopez's embellishments. Sometimes ironic imagery, while far from the expected, can be revelatory. It may allow us to learn something about our hopes and fears.
2012 juror Christina Rees is the curator of Moudy Gallery and Fort Worth Contemporary Arts at Texas Christian University. This exhibit and others can be viewed during Friday's ArtWalk. The Art Center of Corpus Christi has the "The Art of Speed," the Coastal Bend Bonneville Connection's showing of motorcycles and more, and 2011 Dimensions "Best of Show" winner Rebecca Johnson's glass exhibit.

Reply to: Getting Closer to Seamless Acceptance
I currently run an online business and ship out commercial rate usps first class packages. Recently I dropped off 19 packages each weighing 1 ounce into my local post office mailbox directly in front of their building. Not one of these packages have been accounted for and I am out a lot of money. I have tried calling that office and they never answer their phone. I have spoken to a customer rep with upsp online and just told I need to wait to be contacted by that post office's manager. I have not been contacted and these packages are still missing. This is terrible service and nothing more than theft. Until something gets done about this type of situation I do not trust usps for mailing my items any longer. Local offices are under no scrutiny and do not have to answer to anyone. How is this possible?

I'm not sure if this is being sent to the right person, but I have not been receiving my mail to my home address for a few months especially my car note which comes every month on the 26th has not seen it for 4 months. I have contacted the dealer and I was informed that my mail has been forward to another address without my permission. I have cam home on a few occasions and has not seen any mail in my mailbox. This is quite suspicious to me. The only other person who receives the mail is my husband who I am currently separated from. I don't want to believe he is removing my mail. I contacted a postal inspector last week to see what steps I needed to take. I have been waiting for the letter which I have not received. I have not put in a change of address neither have I moved been here for over 12 yrs or purchased a postal box. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE HAS MY MAIL BEEN GOING. I would appreciate if this is forward to the correct person that can assist me with this action. I don't have a tracing number due to I don't have any mail to track.
Thanks Valerie Stewart-Daniels

Hello Maureen,
Thank you for taking the time to notify our offices of this occurrence.
The role of the USPS Office of Inspector General is to investigate waste, theft, fraud and abuse within the Postal Service (USPS). Unfortunately, this issue falls outside of the jurisdiction of this office.
However, please contact your local Postal Service Consumer Affairs Office at (305) 470-0890 or (305) 470-0801 , so they can look further into this matter for you.

Reply to: The Curious Ups and Downs of Mail Volume Declines
In my opinion you can't see the forrest for the trees. Sooner or later you are going to have to admit "boots on the ground" delivering mail to the wrong address are on the increase. This seems particularily true for your substitute carriers that replaces the regualars on their day off.
What's the point of someone shipping something via USPS, have it make it to the local post office and then disappear somewhere in the neighborhood.
My zip code is 84094. I am serviced by the post office 84070. I have complained to the postmaster so much he gave me his phone number to call him. But nothing seems to change.
The past year I have had to collect two of my packages a block east of me and give packages back to the mailman and postmaster that were not mine.
Today a person (not the mailman) dropped off my package of mail order medications that was delivered to his house two blocks north of me.
I'm thinking about passing out flyers inviting neighbors to call me when they receive mail not addressed to them so I can pass the information on to the postmaster.
Reply to: The Curious Ups and Downs of Mail Volume Declines
Yes - changes in service standards are yet another factor impacting mail use over time, and it is likely those impacts vary by geographic area. Other potential "service-related" factors are closing of post offices, changes to window service hours, and online access to postage. These are all examples where this kind of research could lead to segmented strategies focused on retaining customers and improving postal services. Thank you for your comment and suggestion.
Reply to: The Curious Ups and Downs of Mail Volume Declines
An interesting follow up report would be how much the baseline demand changes with the decline in service standards. The 2015 change in service standards and the inability of the USPS to meet the new lower standards with its "right sized" network is motivating some of this "base" of demand for FCM to disappear.

Having a problem getting service at the Mountain Pine, Arkansas Post Office. Could not get anyone to come to the front desk, could hear people in the back talking and laughing, but would not respond to the bell. In which, could not get stamps to mail off letters.5/04/2015

Thank you for your post and support for "regional" strategies that improve postal services. This initial research looked at "geographic areas," which were based on 3-digit ZIP Codes, and used data by Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas. Unfortunately, that level of analysis could not fully take into account the diverse nature of communities, as in the 60-mile radius of your office, and perfectly isolate demand for mail by block or street or address. As analysts, we agree with your insight that the geographic areas are a broad grouping and drilling down deeper would unearth other important insights and be potentially groundbreaking. We plan to explore this in future work.
Reply to: The Curious Ups and Downs of Mail Volume Declines
Thank you for your comment and observation on how technology impacts use of the mail and is increasingly a substitute for traditional hard copy correspondence and transactions. Widespread adoption of that technology is likely one major cause for the surprisingly consistent declines in mail use across demographic groups that we observed in this initial research. As you note, there is likely a geographic relationship as well. We plan to more fully explore the impacts of additional significant factors including cell phone coverage and high speed internet connectivity in follow-up work.

The supervisor are going into the computer changing employees time for when they work for 8 hours and they really work for 10. They are also giving people time who don't work and have them on the clock saying they work that day. Another problem they have is that the supervisor are going around telling coworker (PSE's) they will be regular if they are willing to sleep with them. Something has to be done, I ain't never been on no job were supervisor and management are falsifying employees time and sexual harrasing employees and getting away with it. This really needs to stop.
Reply to: Does the Postal Service Need International Service Centers?
The system is broken. It is inefficient and inconsistent. The ISC is one of the biggest reasons why the USPS is losing money and customers like me. I have a registered letter from Germany that has been at ISC NY for more than a month (tracking# RB108469614DE) and a package from Japan (tracking# CD190638335JP) that is still at ISC San Francisco for more than two weeks. I don't know whether they're stolen, lost or just sitting there waiting for processing. There is no clear answer and non-existent customer service. They already lost a previous letter of mine and it's been a frustrating experience. If you let this go on, I will let every person I know and every merchant I buy from to use other means of delivery because this is unacceptable. I wouldn't mind paying more, I just want consistency and reliability. Like any other business, I paid for these services so I expect you to do what you said that you'd do--deliver my mail and packages.
Reply to: Does a Virtual PO Box service appeal to you?
Good idea. Keeps the unknown companies popping up trying to "get" our mail... unsecure at minimum. I rather have the USPS continue to be the experts not some unknown wanna be.
Reply to: The Curious Ups and Downs of Mail Volume Declines
Why do you think mail volume declines vary by region? you have the answers already, broken down demographically. Do you see an opportunity to launch "regional" strategies of any kind? A HUGE YES. In fact, the chosen word "regional" sounds to be to broad.
Just in a 60 mile radius of my office. We have a Naval Base, University and colleges, a retirement (snowbird) community, several tourist communities, industrial, farm land, shipping/docks with all supporting businesses and a wide range of household income and ages.
Each Post Office handles a different type of customer. No two are alike. And no office handles the entire list of examples. In just 12 miles the difference in median age and income drops dramatically from one post office to another. One office is higher income and older, another is much lower income and much lower median age by 20 years.
The data is already available, it just needs to be drilled down.
It would be a dream come true in my job to see the USPS actually look at things from the bottom up when making decisions.

Why is there a decline in FCM utilization across demographic groups? I think it is simply a more global access to telecommunications technology. The telephone could never supplant mail for important communications but email with attachments certainly seem to be cutting tremendous inroads into FCM. The early PCs were very expensive and without the user friendly interface. Now they are relatively inexpensive and the software can prompt you for appointments, responses and much more than you even care about. Now, indeed, many things can be done on cell phones or mini-pad, obviating the need for paper communication. It seems like owning one is de rigor for all demographics, the unemployed, the 4th Grader, the affluent, the elderly (albeit at a slower clip) independent of education, income and most likely regionally. Perhaps the absence of cell phone towers and high speed internet connectivity in West Virgina or regions that are rural, remote and economically depressed explains the relatively slower rate of decline of FCM utilization.

Thank you for your interest in the report and for your feedback. We agree that plant consolidations and closings contribute to regional variations in mail volume, particularly in certain areas. We acknowledge this explicitly in the report, but do not think this alters the initial conclusion that mail use varies greatly by region. For example, plant consolidations and closings will not have as severe an impact on mail use trends for a state as it does for any given area, and our research shows that mail use varies greatly by state (see Appendix C of the report). Raising the issue that mail use is not uniform across geographic areas is a necessary first step in the discussion of this important topic. We hope that discussion will not only advance and refine this research, but more importantly lead to improvements in postal services. To your point, we plan to examine the effects of the closure and consolidation of processing facilities on mail volumes, as well as research the effects of the many other contributing factors, in follow-up work. We welcome your additional thoughts.
Reply to: Should the Postal Service continue its consolidation plan?
The plants can't handle the work they have now. Expess mail failures have increased and the expected day of deliveries are not being met and customers are complaining daily. Keep the plants open to increase the processing of mail and grow the business. Closing plants and delaying the mail will only chase customers away from the business and when the Postal Service decides to privatize, they won't have any customers to serve. Who wants that kind of business.
Reply to: The Curious Ups and Downs of Mail Volume Declines
How many of the Plants in the low decline group absorbed processing done previously by another Plant? How many of the Plants in the high decline groups lost processing to another Plant? For instance, Muncie and Lafayette Indiana lost their outgoing distribution to Kokomo Indiana prior to 2013. Because Kokomo's processing volumes were relatively small, the gain when expressed as a number would look small, but when expressed as a percentage would look large. Bloomington and Terre Haute also lost processing to Indianapolis. But because the volumes handled in Indy were large, the change in the percentage would be lesser than the change in a small Plant like Kokomo.

I have a bank of boxes with neighbors in our small apartment building. We all go thru the front locked door then to the mailboxes. I do and can hear the others. We get fliers from the local markets and look for them and Bed, Bath & Beyond when they come out. I certainly do not want a central "cluster" box and am sure the others would agree. Our carrier gives great service delivering AND picking up our mail "to go".

Package is still not here. If it gets here on Mon April 27, that will be 2 weeks since it was posted. Again Indiana is only 2 states away from Pennsylvania and there are an excellent network of roads connecting the states via Ohio. Pitiful service.

Re: first display on twinview
Still not fixed. This is the email I've just sent nvidia:
Hello. I own a geforce 7800 card and I'm running it on Gentoo on
x86-64; I attach the report file generated by nvidia-bug-report.sh and
an lspci (since nvidia-bug-report.sh seems to go look at /proc/pci,
that doesn't exist anymore in recent kernels)
I have two screens like this:
- Left: Big DVI Panel, plugged to DVI.
- Right: Small VGA CRT, plugged to VGA.
I've set them up with TwinView, and I do use compiz. The problem is,
the VGA monitor is made the "primary" one. This has some noticeable
1. selectwm2 (or gdm/kdm if I used that) appear on the wrong screen. Can be worked around with TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder.
2. DPI is not calculated from my main screen: Can be worked around by forcing whatever DPI I want.
3. Video (xv) does sync to my second screen: Can be worked around by setting which screen to sync it with, in nvidia-settings.
4. opengl (including video when played in compiz) does sync to the second screen. NO SOLUTION.
So, it's all about point 4. I can't watch videos in compiz or play games properly with my main screen because opengl is sync'd to the secondary screen. I can't reverse the way the screens are plugged either, because my cards' connectors are VGA and DVI, and I won't plug the DFP in VGA. I could also make the right screen the primary monitor with Xinerama, but then I'd lose Composite/AIGLX, therefore Compiz. Or separate screens with no TwinView or Xinerama (really inconvenient, as windows couldn't be moved between them).
So, I'm stuck. I don't think there's anything else I can do in my end to fix this problem (Or I can't figure it out from the documentation).
Possible solutions I can think of do involve fixing the driver itself:
1. Make Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP-0, CRT-0" make the first one listed the primary one (which is the behavior I'd expect).
2. Add an option to nvidia-settings, like the one for the blitter used by xv, to select which display opengl sync-to-vblank should sync to.
Thank you.

How to Find the Perfect Wedding Band for Him (No Matter What Your Budget)
Weddings can turn into an expensive affair. Many couples find that by the point that they're ready to purchase the groom's wedding band (usually towards the end of the planning process), their wedding budget has already been exceeded and finances are running a little tight. At the same time, nobody wants to have to scrimp and settle for less when it comes to their forever ring.
Fortunately, the advent of the internet and prevalence of online shopping has done much for finding high quality men's wedding bands at the lowest prices. Here is how to get the best wedding band for your groom – without draining your bank account.
Set a budget. First and foremost, when buying both women's and men's wedding bands you are going to need to set a budget and stick to it. Wedding rings are an emotional purchase, so before you start looking make sure you are firm on what you can comfortably afford. No matter how small you think your budget is, it is virtually guaranteed that you'll be able to find high quality yet affordable wedding bands that fall within your specific price range.
Decide what you want. Now that you have your budget set, the fun can begin. Think about what you're looking for in your wedding bands – what color rings do you want? Any metal or material preferences? How about style and any decorative accents? Once you've nailed down what you would like, you may need to eliminate some items on your wish list that are highly unlikely to fit your budget – for example, a pure platinum band.
This is also a great opportunity for you to learn about the different kinds of affordable men's wedding bands. You may or may not already be familiar with some of the high quality contemporary materials currently available on the market. Materials like cobalt chrome and white tungsten have the look of expensive precious metals like platinum and white gold, but at a mere fraction of the cost.
Compare prices. Once you've narrowed down your choices to a few select rings, take a look around the market. Chances are that the particular styles that you are looking at are available at more than one online retailer. To find the best prices on men's wedding bands, use a retail search engine like Google Shopping to find any internet stores carrying your desired rings. If you have more of a style in mind rather than a particular designer, you can also try shopping comparison sites like ShopStyle, Yahoo! Shopping or Shopzilla.
Take other special incentives into account. Inexpensive men's wedding bands don't just boil down to sale prices and discount codes. Many internet retailers offer free shipping, but if they don't, you'll want to take that into account with your overall purchase price. Another factor that can save you a significant amount of money (or tack more onto the price) is whether or not you'll have to pay sales tax on your purchase. Currently, any online out-of-state purchase is not subject to sales tax.
Verify your purchasing source. Finally, once you've settled on your band and the online store that you'll be purchasing it from, make sure to verify the trustworthiness of the source, especially if you've never shopped with them before. Look for reviews from other customers, any potential complaints with the Better Business Bureau, and use your own judgment and common sense. In most cases, if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
You'll also want to make sure that they have a flexible return policy in the event that your purchase doesn't work out and you want to exchange or return it for a full refund.

"Simply put, Amanda Broadway is a Nashville-based singer and a songwriter with an affinity for blues and soul music. Although to stop there would be a travesty. Given the genre's pervasive influence on American music and culture, solely stating she is "a blues/soul artist" does not do her justice. Broadway's voice is a mighty, dazzling blast of light guiding you through the murky waters of today's blues music and back in time to the unadulterated glory of the 1960s and '70s. […] Her voice harkens back to the likeness of Etta James while reveling in the nuances of today, effortlessly soaring above her well-crafted, deeply groove-focused blues and soul music." – Ian Haygood, SpokesBUZZ
Amanda moved to Nashville after graduating from the College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY where she studied Music Industry and Voice. In late 2011, she independently released her first EP, Me Without You, which reached number 8 on the iTunes Top Blues Albums chart. "Somethin' Funny Goin' On," the final track on the effort, won the Vox Pop (fan's choice) for Best Blues Song in the 2013 Independent Music Awards.
" … graceful, soulful, powerful, and range defying are just several descriptions that come to mind concerning Amanda's vocal technique." – Peter "Blewzzman" Lauro, Mary4Music.com.
In 2012, Amanda and Mikie Martel, a.k.a The MarWays, released Christmas With The MarWays to iTunes. Recorded, mixed and mastered at The Sanctuary by Martel, Christmas With The MarWays features "The Man With The Bag" and "Please Come Home For Christmas" arranged and performed by The MarWays with a little help from their friends.
Currently, Amanda is working on a new series of recordings called The Sanctuary Sessions. Recording all songs at The Sanctuary in Nashville, the focus of this project is to approach each song in the studio individually, and to follow the vision of each song without limitation by genre, instrumentation, personnel, or production style. The first track, "Real Thing", was recorded live with a ten-piece band, and released to iTunes in March 2013 along with a music video capturing the session. The song was featured on AmericanSongwriter.com as a Daily Discovery. In 2014, Amanda released a limited number of copies of "Real Thing" on CD, which includes the second song from The Sanctuary Sessions project, "It Never Rains." This track was also recorded live and accompanied by a music video capturing the session. Several more tracks are set to be released in 2015.
You can also hear her perform weekly at new Nashville hot-spot Acme Feed & Seed as part of the house band – The Music City Toppers. Amanda is one of three vocalists in the ten-piece band that brings funk, soul and R&B to lower Broadway every Thursday night for Acme's weekly Funky Tonk.
Amanda has been a guest of the Mando Blues Radio Show in Nashville TN, and has had airplay on other blues programs and radio stations across the U.S. and in Europe. She has performed at local events such as Musician's Corner, and in venues in Nashville and Memphis, TN. In October 2014, she was chosen to participate in the BandSwap program hosted by Colorado music non-profit SpokesBUZZ with showcases in Nashville and Colorado.

Tim Robbins, Will Forte Join JACKIE BROWN Prequel; Ty Burrell, Dennis Quaid Out
According to Variety, Will Forte and Tim Robbins have signed on to the pseudo-pr
equel to Quentin Tarantino's JACKIE BROWN, THE SWITCH. The two actors will reportedly replace Ty Burrell and Dennis Quaid, who recently dropped out of the film.
The two join previously announced Jennifer Aniston, John Hawkes, Yasiin Bey and Isla Fisher. SWITCH is based upon Elmore Leonard's 1978 novel, which was a sequel to RUM PUNCH, in which JACKIE BROWN was in turn based upon.
Aniston will take on the role of Mickey Dawson, the wife of a corrupt real estate dealer in Detroit. In the film, she is kidnapped by two ex-cons, Louis Gara and Ordell Robbie, who will be portrayed by actors John Hawkes and Mos Def respectively. When her husband refuses to pay the randsom, she joins forces with her captors to get her revenge.
The film will be produced by Author Leonard, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Lee Stollman and Michael Siegel. The script was written by Dan Schechter who will also direct the film.

Yes, the ke125 used the same system. Pumped oil right into the crankcase at the rotary valve, in addition to pumping straight to the crank bearings, as i already said...LOL i was shocked how little room there is when i cracked open the cases on my f11, which uses the same autolube system...realistically the only open space in the cases is the underside of the piston, and the space in front and back of the con rod.

Nice idea; lousy execution
Revolution is a game that I really wanted to like, and really should have liked. I enjoy logic puzzles, especially ones involving spatial reasoning. And that's all that Revolution is: it presents a partially-assembled gear machine, gives you a toolbox of gears, and leaves it up to you to figure out how to complete the design. And some of the levels require -- or at least allow for -- quite clever solutions.
But there's one fundamental problem that the game just can't get past. It requires placing gears in position. To do that, you drag-and-drop gears from the toolbox onto the blueprint, then drag to reposition the gears as needed. But there's absolutely no tolerance for imprecise positioning; if you're trying to position a gear between two or three existing gears, then you have to drag the gear to exactly the right place so that the teeth of all the gears line up. There is absolutely no 'okay-I-see-what-you're-trying-to-do-so-I'll-snap-the-gear-into-the-position-you're-obviously-trying-for'. But a touchscreen smartphone simply doesn't give you the precision that you need -- especially since your finger will often be at least partially blocking your view of the screen. As a result, levels become 20% figure-out-what-to-do, 80% try-and-try-and-try-to-position-the-gears-correctly. And when the game is scoring you based on time taken and number of moves made, the inability to move gears precisely is all the more frustrating.
A few tweaks to the user interface could make this a four-star game.

Delivery was poor. It was delivered to the wrong house and a card left at the wrong house to say it had been left in the garden. The name address and postcode were correct. The feel unique person I dealt with was very helpful and got it picked up and delivered to me. This has happened before with a parcel from another company. Perhaps the delivery people need to be changed.

Scanning the Magnetic Field of Electrodynamic Transducers
An accurate means for measuring the magnetic flux density of moving coil loudspeakers is critically important. The paper presents a new measurement technique by scanning flux density on a cylindrical surface within and outside the magnetic gap using a Hall sensor combined with robotics to move the sensor. Scanning the magnet field on the circumference of the gap seems to be the only way for detecting axial asymmetries and other magnetic field irregularities caused by material inhomogeneity and manufacturing failures, such as partial magnetization and incorrect adjustment of the parts. Variation of magnetic field in the gap reveals an asymmetrical driving force that causes rocking modes and voice coil rubbing.

1934 Goudey #37 Lou Gehrig SGC 92 NM/MT+ 8.5. When it comes to Goudey's celebrated sophomore issue, it just doesn't get much better than this. Not only is this number 37 card, dedicated to the set's Hall of Fame spokesman, the most valuable in the ninety-six card set, but this specific example provides such stunning aesthetics and lack of wear that only one example weighs heavier on the SGC population scale. With colors so brilliant they border on radioactive, super-clean surfaces and wonderfully sharp corners, the Iron Horse looks just like a new hatchling from a 1934 wax pack. One must assume it is only the micro-dot impression in the top border that restrains the card from climbing even higher into the hobby's rarified air, as a search for other reasoning comes up empty.

36 year old woman | West Chester, PA, USA | Seeking men 32-42 within 20 miles
Single Mom Seeking Single Dad!
I'm an attractive, active, intelligent, happy woman looking for a man with those same qualities. I'm looking to meet someone who mentally and physically excites me, challenges me, makes me laugh and turns me on. I'm a single mom looking for a single dad. I have 10 yr old twin boys and a 5 yr old son. Although I have a few kid free nights each week-my life is centered around my kids. I'm not interested in dating anyone who doesn't have kids, because I feel as a single parent, I can better connect with someone that has gone through similar experiences and faces the same challenges (and wonderful blessings) that come with being a parent. I'm looking for someone who is looking for and ready for a relationship. Coming into a relationship with kids involved can be difficult and challenging in its own way-so I believe it's important to take your time, get to know one another, and develop a friendship first-but my ultimate goal is to have it develop into a long term committed relationship. I've been single and back out in the dating world for almost 3 yrs. I've had my fun and I've casually dated. I've had time to myself and am 100% comfortable with being "alone". I know what I want and I am realistic about what would work. I'm honest and upfront about what I want and what I need and I would never waste my time or anyone else's time unless I felt it was truely worth it-and I would hope the person I meet would be and feel the same way. I'm not looking for a perfect man-and I am in no way a perfect woman. We all have our baggage and our flaws and our issues-which is normal. However, I am at a point in my life where I can look past those things, and see and accept someone for who they are and all that comes with them-and I hope that whoever I meet would feel the same. Being active, staying healthy, exploring news places, new restuarants or just new trails to hike through at the park, cooking, exercising, being affectionate, being a good listener, laughing and smiling and being silly, never taking for granted, being open and open minded, being honest, never judging, compromising, the beach, the sun, the water, the mountains, live music, funny movies, apple picking, pumpkin patches, holding hands, cuddling up, kissing in the middle of the street.....These are are things that I am, that I love and that are important to me--and I can ony imagine that someone that I would best connect with would share these with me. I'm sure there are many amazing people out there, but If you are not at the same place in life as me or aren't looking for the same thing--it won't work--so no sense filling up my inbox cause I look cute in my pics. However if you are in the same place and looking for the same thing-take a chance on me--I promise I'm worth it!!

text: I love this little cafe for the atmosphere, food, henna and local education programs. It is a nice meeting place on the well worn path between Bab Doukkala and Dar El Bacha. This area is a little less touristy and busy with every day life. After stopping by for a pot of mint tea, some lovely henna work and a Drop In Darija language lesson, there's plenty of opportunity to try your new skill at the various little shops and markets along the street. A small donation is all they ask for any of the classes offered for non-locals, so they can support free education for the locals! It is a good feeling to participate in the community.


text: lad - Unregistered April 04, 2013 5:45 PM @ prof-xI wonder if you know anything about Yamaha. I wonder if you knew the sport called MotoGP back in 2003-04. The bike Jorge inherited today is exactly the one designed around #46 together with mr Furusawa and hasn't changed a bit (reference to mr Furusawa). So you as a part time fan come here and claim that bike is designed for Jorge? lol I can't stop laughing. try harder or at least read more about the sport. 1 agree 2 disagree

There was an ACLU video from a few years ago that instructed people NOT to roll down their windows any more than was absolutely necessary to communicate with the officer and hand him your license and registration. I'll have to see if I can find it.

And I'm sure she'd be just as thrilled to see you again.
If I was a cop and I pulled over a hot woman, I would give her a ticket so I could see her again in traffic court.
I have advice on how to get out of a ticket, how about follow the law, that'll keep you from getting tickets.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Wednesday, 02 November 2011 08:45AM
The advertorial, created by the Telegraph newspaper's editorial team, was featured on the website on 12 July. It carried the text, "Flora pro.activ: Stepping up the pace" and the strapline, "Telegraph journalist Chris Jones tried Flora pro.activ and brisk walks to lower cholesterol."
The ad received a complaint from a consumer who said the ad was misleading and resembled a news article written by a journalist, which was not clearly marketing communication, despite the text "in association with Flora pro.activ" displayed on the page.
Text in bold at the bottom of the ad read, "If you'd like to read more inspiring stories and useful information about how Flora pro.activ can help lower your cholesterol, visit floraproactiv.co.uk."
Unilever and the Telegraph countered that the ad was unlikely to mislead consumers by having marked out the commercial partnership.

What's so good?
By Christiana Bartolini | Mar 14, 2013 | Total plays: 4,437
"Gaze" has made me all nostalgic for those angst-filled days. I hold a soft spot in my heart for this style of music, and nowadays, when I hear a band that's keeping it alive, I have a deep appreciation for them. As you listen to this single, you'll notice that it has all of the classic qualities of a pop-punk song, including ridiculously fast drums, gritty guitar riffs, bellowing bass, and shout-out-loud singalong vocals. What's not to love? From the verses to the chorus to the breakdown, this song has got it all!
What's even better is that Black Market has their music up on Bandcamp= for free, because, and I quote, "everything is free on the Black Market." And that's not all. You can follow their experiment of releasing an EP once a month for a year! These guys are unstoppable.

Betting on dice on the streets of Baltimore or wagering on favorite sports teams may seem innocuous behavior for city teenagers, but it can serve as a gateway to heavier gambling and other risky behavior, impairing lives for years to come.
These are the findings of researchers at the Johns Hopkins University who repeatedly surveyed a group of up to 798 disadvantaged teenagers beginning in 2004. The latest results culled from the surveys linked gambling among the youth to early sex, sometimes resulting in pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
The findings come as Baltimore is poised to welcome a Las Vegas-style casino this year, providing more enticement for young people in some of the city's toughest neighborhoods to start a habit that some may find addicting. They also come as operators strive to keep youths out of the casinos and as the General Assembly passed legislation to establish fines for underage gamblers caught on gaming floors.
Advertising alone for the new casinos could spur the more impulsive types to sneak into the facilities or gamble closer to home and engage in other risky behaviors such as sex, drugs and alcohol, the researchers found.
"Just because you live in a disadvantaged Baltimore neighborhood, you're not more likely to be impulsive," said Dr. Silvia Martins, who led the research at Johns Hopkins' Bloomberg School of Public Health and has published a nearly a dozen papers on Baltimore youths and gambling. "But there would likely be less prevention strategies in place to control those who are impulsive."
The newest study, now online at the journal Addictive Behaviors, found that almost half of 427 youths had gambled before age 18 and more of the gamblers had initiated sex in that time. About a third of the gamblers had intercourse by age 13 and almost 90 percent had by age 18. Nine percent of the sexually active youth had contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
Of those who had gambled, close to half were frequent gamblers.
Other studies in the series, led by Martins, now an associate professor of epidemiology at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, found that gambling could lead to depression, crime, homelessness and joblessness in young adulthood.
The researchers said these kids may have more chaos and violence in their lives, a deeper attraction to quick riches and better access to the lottery and other gambling opportunities such as card and dice games. They also may have little to stop them.
The research concluded that youth in disadvantaged communities are 12 times as likely as those in more stable areas to have gambling problems.
Martins said gambling needs to be added to existing programs aimed at heading off teenage drug use and other risky behaviors. More treatment options also are needed.
Grace Lee, who worked on the research as a graduate student at Johns Hopkins, said more parental monitoring helps deflect gambling troubles, but it can't stop all risky behavior.
"It's not that parents aren't watching in these neighborhoods," said Lee, now an analyst at the National Institutes of Health. "It would be even worse if they weren't. But it's the environment."
There are efforts underway to make teens, as well as teachers and counselors, aware of the potential for gambling problems in the city.
Those involved at the casinos already work to limit underage gambling there. So far, few youths have been caught on the Maryland gaming floors — about three dozen, who jumped walls from restaurants, used fake IDs or otherwise initially evaded security, according to state data reported by casinos.
The casinos have been fined 10 times for a total of $46,000 for underage infractions, according to the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency, which oversees casinos.
For now, the only repercussion for those who sneak into a casino is getting ejected, said Stephen Martino, the agency director.
But the agency and casino operators supported legislation passed by the General Assembly allowing those under age 21 to be fined $100 for the first infraction, $500 for the second and $1,000 for the third, which also would include referral to gambling counselors for evaluation, said Martino, who is also chair of the Maryland Alliance for Responsible Gambling, formed by gambling, state and health interests to pursue policy initiatives.
Martino said he believes there aren't too many more underage youth getting past security or video surveillance. At Maryland Live in Anne Arundel County, the largest of the casinos, officials have begun using electronic identification readers.
"It's really been a point of emphasis," Martino said. "But there needs to be accountability on both sides. Right now, the burden is on the casino."

Howdy all,
The wife and I are heading to Florida the second week of June for a well needed 5 night vacation, and to say it has been along time coming would be an understatment.
I visited MK and Epcot 22 years ago as a senior in high school and have counted the years until I could make it back. My wife has never been to the state of Florida so this is a complete first for her. We grew up in Southern California but have resided in Idaho for the past decade so our trips to the California park ended on our Honeymoon. I grew up at Disneyland. I've got boxes and boxes of slides from our family visits during the 60's 70's and 80's. Someday I'll get them on disc...
The problem we are having is booking a room. There are just so many dang options! Right now we have reserved a room at one of the Condo/Hotel places just outside of Epcot, but we wonder if we should just go ahead and stay at one of the Disney Hotels. Thoughts? Advice?
Also, if any of you kind folks would give us an idea on the "Don't miss" parts of MK, Epcot, or the Animal Kingdom, we would sure appreciate it.
We truly cannot wait to get there. 22 years feels like a lifetime, and for my wife, it has been a lifetime. :-)
Kindest Regards,

Trans Lab Express Day 4!
Startng Day 4...........
Ok, we are waking up now on day 4.... Again, it rained over night. The bugs last night were vicious
and they swarmed us and the tents. Just opening the door flap invited hundreds in....
We are getting used to packing up in the morning damp...
Our plan today, ride to Fermont, get gas and breakfast, then head to Churchill Falls via the Trans Lab Highway.
We are finally almost to the TLH!
Sunrise in Quebec as we are breaking camp...
The road to Fermont...
Approaching the Mount Wright Iron Mine
Even the water is red from the iron ore....
Closer to the operation itself! It was massive....
Arriving in Fermont, we apparently were too early for the town. The gas station and the restaurant were both closed,
and not opening until 6:30am. It was about 6 now so we decided to just head on up to Labrador City and get fuel etc.
There was a McDonalds advertised there and we could get some coffee and breakfast sandwiches....
After breakfast, we fueled up, got some water bottles. We saw our friend from last night pass by and waved, don't
know if he saw us... then back on the road... Hereis the sign we have been riding 3 days for....
And of course this one which is "famous" if you will....
Here is the road... we are off, this has been our goal!
Stopping to admire some of the scenic water along the road. There were rivers, lakes, ponds and marshes..
Pretty lake right along the road....
another shot of the same lake.....
The road surface... Not bad if you stay away from the edges.....
further downthe roadway... taking a short break...
Yours Truly!
stopped at one of the many "construction zones"
Following the dirt truck....
These construction zones, varied between grading, dumping rock, dumping dirt, compacting et.
What was a common thread, none of tehm were pleasant conditions. Looking at the right side of this section,
they have recently dumped gravel and spread it... and it is very loose... Caution is needed in these areas.
Ok, I need to break here and get ready for work... I will continue day 4 shortly... Hope everyone is enjoying!

Tarns Lab Express Day 4 Continued....
Ok, we are continuing now with day 4... The road to Churchill Falls....
The further in we travel... the more rugged is the countryside..
here is a similar rugged country area and also one of teh patches of looser gravel...
looking ahead from my bike.. the rugged country, loose gravel and the mountains in the distance..
about half way in to Churchill Falls..
little scrub trees at the higher elevations, still lots of lakes etc.. and Yigal's dust up ahead..
Further up the road we met this gentleman... Fron Vancouver BC, he was heading the opposite direction
from us. We exchangd info on the road conditions, said our goodbyes and off we went...
A little further down the road.. some more of the infamous "construction".. with dirt..
and the results of the road graders before they are completely finished....
and finally arriving at our destination.....
It was on 12:50 pm so we were in early... At this point, our plans were to try and camp here in town.
We stopped at the General Store for fuel and info.
The lady said we could tent out behind the arena or maybe on the grass by the church. She said they may
not give permission because of the bears in the area. We headed off to the restaurant (in the only hotel) and
figured that we would:
Get a meal
Check a price on hotel
get a time open for breakfast.
At that point, leaning towards grabbing a room but at $110.00 plus taxes, we discarded that idea quickly. The
restaurant did not open till 7am.. so to camp there to grab a quick breakfast was out as we would likely be on
the road before 7am. Besides, the bears in town were used to people so would be more inclined to visit us,
as opposed to bears down the road. So we decided since it was early, to just head down the road a bit and set up
camp along the roadside as we had been...
heading back out... here is the milepost sign leaving CF's... and you can see Yigal heading down the road..
down the road a few miles... this signpost.. 285 Km's to Goose Bay
passing another river... I found these to be very impressive...
another view of the same one....
finally we found a pretty flat and clear spot off the road to stop and set up camp..
Yigal is all set.....
Oh, have we mentioned the bugs... the blackfies from here on out were brutal!
To wrap up day 4 notes.....
The weather was good all day...
we traveled a total of 242 miles from camp to camp
(it was 188 miles to Churchill Falls and then we went another 54..
Total Time: 10 hours 41 minutes
(a long day but we had 2 sit down meals and would have a shorter day 5 to HV-GB)
Riding Time 6 Hours 32 Minutes
Moving Average: 37 MPH
(Overall with all stops 22.6 MPH)
We had some photo stops, gas etc...
also 2 sit down meal stops.......
Next..... will be Day 5!

Great report thus far, loving your detailed pics of the road conditions...
So here's a question (now that you've experienced the TLH).... what are the chances one could ride from Bay Comeu to Goose Bay in 1.5 days?
This may help:
KTM 950 with dirt capable tires + young buck... full of Red-Bull!!!!!
Older Than Dirt!
Joined: Apr 2008

Oddometer: 1,122
The total distance is 1125 km's... 675 miles. about 290 km (174 miles is paved..)
we took basically 2 1/2 days... and were pretty tired.. we are also not the most skilled.... and typically stopped for 2 full sit down meals each day..
Our riding time (without any stops) was 14 1/2 hours the first 2 days (Baie Comeau to within 135 miles of Goose Bay)
So, if someone wanted to Iron Butt run it, I am sure they could make it in a day and 1/2... I think you would miss a lot.. and I would recommend more time...
The travel guides (figuring a car/truck) suggest normal is 7 hours in quebec, it has to be longer in Labrador... so say maybe 10 hours..
You are looking at 17 by car....

Trans Lab Express Day 5..
Day 5 start....
Day 5... June 29th.. Ride to Happy Valley Goose Bay
I woke up early... did not sleep real well as my foot was bothering me quite a bit...
The bugs were also brutal, I had gotten chewed up good over night...
and they were waiting outside my tent for me as looked out the window at the road...
getting ready to break down my tent... rest of the gear is out....
as we get rolling... the vegitation thins out.. still plenty of water around...
Both sides look similar.. road conditions look decent in this stretch..
entering another construction area (for 25km) This will generate a fair amount of loose gravel
One thing for sure, water is plentiful up here. I find a natural rugged beauty in these types of scenes..
this is similar... water but also notice the buildup of loose gravel on the sides.. that will be increasing.
a road shot down a bit further... very loose dust and more loose gravel...
here is a closer shot of some of the scraggly trees.. (notice water here too)
ahhhh.. the loose gravel.. gotta love it! Notice how nice near the sides, stay out of that!
saw a lot of small little cabins on the roadside.. some real tiny.. others more deluxe...
notice the dirt in another area of "construction".. Our Pucker Factor increased any time we saw
a road grader, flagman or construction sign!
We managed to spot some wildlife along this section of the roadway.... I saw a fox with her young'un
Another view... she was actually nursing the baby... they had crossed the road in front of me..
and Yigal managed to get a shot of a bear.. I saw one but it was gone too quick....
Oh.. did we mention dust?? Here is what that looks like on the roadway...
and the road is not always straight.....
another curved section with a small dust kicker heading my way!
Ok, taking a break folks... hope you enjoy.. I will try and wrap up day 5 this evening....

Tlh Express .. Day 5 Continued..
Day 5 continued .
Ok, where did we leave off oh yes, wildlife & twisty roads!
Continuing on towards Goose Bay Road is twisty.. and pretty..
Some more water by the road.. I really do like the rivers and streams..
Taking a short break.. lots of loose gravel here, look at it piled by the edges
My bike resting by the water I liked this picture
Here you can see the road well ahead.. and a cabin in the trees to the left..
It is not all curves though; here is one of the long straight stretches
And back to curves the scenery in this area was nice
A more deluxe cabin at one of the higher elevations.. note sandy with less trees..
Some more of the road ..
Lakes in the distance from a higher elevation
The bikes at a scenic roadside pulloff
The view down the road from the turnoff .
The grasshopper in the turnoff
Yigal trying to keep the black flies away have I mentioned the bugs???
Another straight stretch of road just before the infamous .
CONSTRUCTION ZONE! Notice the workers Bug protection
See the road grader in the distance . The pucker factor just increased..
This is the road surface not a fun ride on this stuff..
And it seemed to go on Foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ..
Finally we arrive Happy Valley Goose Bay!
Here I am in front of the trophy sign
And the sign itself this is what we rode all this way for .
This stretch was probably the hardest ride so far because of the loose gravel
and the washboard affect that tried to jar the fillings out of our tooth. To be
honest, we had many caution us about the loose gravel being heavy but it was
not as bad as I was expecting over most of the run.
Now we had some time. We did not have to be to the boat until 3:00 pm tomorrow.
We relaxed at the rooms... Then we headed in to a Sports Bar for a nice meal and some
of the local brew...
To wrap up day 5 notes.....
The weather was good again today....
we traveled a total of 128.2 miles from camp to motel
Total Time: 4 hours 23 minutes
Riding Time 3 Hours 10 Minutes
Moving Average: 37.3 MPH
Overall with all stops 29.2 MPH
We had some photo stops and also construction
There was no fuel or meal stops this leg.
Tomorrow, day 6 is a short report, just gas eat and ride to the Ferry.....

Trans Lab Express Day 6..
Day 6.... a relaxing day!
Day 6 is the day that we catch the Ferry out of Goose Bay over to Cartwright..
It is approx a 13 hour trip. The boat leaves at 5pm, and we are supposed to be there
for loading by around 3. Check out time was 11am and the motel had an included
continental breakfast.
Our plans for the day were...
Partake of the already paid for breakfast
pack up our stuff...
Relax until 11 and then check out..
(we had asked about a late CO but rooms were rented)
Head up to the Sports Bar for lunch and kill time until 2pm
Head over, get tickets and get in line for boarding..
Nothing fancy today.. no dirt, gravel or long miles to ride..
Here are the bikes in the line.... we were there for awhile as the ship
went to Lewisporte and Cartwright, Cartwright is OFF first, so of course
they are loaded last!
ok, see Yigal ahead? The line is moving....
this is the ship we will be spendiong the next 15 hours on!
a fellow on the dock offered to take my picture.. he even gave the camera back!
On the deck of the ship.. We had reserved a cabin. They also had lounge areas and a cafeteria.
looking out from the deck.....
It was an interesting trip actually. We had 2 items of entertainment while on board. Before the boat
departed the dock, there was a seaplane making touch and go landings in the water right next to us.
They must have made at least a dozen passes while we were loading and then waiting to depart... Then once out to sea,
they announced over the PA that there would be SAR training events on the upper decks and we were welcome to
come up and watch.
This involved a helicopter from the Canadien Search and Rescue. They followed the ship. moved up and back, left to
right overhead, then positioned themselves near the deck.
Then, they began lowering a crew member down to the deck of the ship....
and lower.......................
as they got closer, they directed the helicopter with hand signals, to bring them to where they wanted ...
Once on the deck of the ship, they disconnected and visited with the crew and passengers while the chopper
moved away from the ship.
They would then have the chopper return, drop the harness down, hitch up and then they would be be brought
back up to the helicopter. The helicopter would move away and shadow us a while, then return to do it again.
They repeated this with several different crew members and to both sides of the ship. This provided a couple
of hours of entertainment.
Thats about all the excitement of day 6... not much riding, but a little entertainment and a long boat ride ahead.
At least we would sleep for most o fthat... after we watched the sunset from the deck!
Next up... Day 7 and arriving at Cartwright, then riding the 510 to look for icebergs...

As part of the agreement, Beckman Coulter has the right to deliver up to 37.5% of the purchase price in the form of Beckman Coulter stock. Correspondingly, Beckman Coulter expects to finance the acquisition with a combination of newly issued Beckman Coulter common stock (approximately $300 million) and newly issued debt (approximately $500 million). Under the intended conservative financing structure, the company does not anticipate a change in its current investment grade ratings.
Scott Garrett, Beckman Coulter's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "This compelling transaction combines the chemistry product lines of our two companies into a complete chemistry systems offering. It enhances Beckman Coulter as a leading provider of chemistry products with additional opportunities to expand our immunoassay reach into their chemistry installed base. Customers will benefit from the expanded range of products, particularly those large hospital and university laboratories where higher throughput systems are preferred. In addition, Beckman Coulter's strength in total lab automation will be complemented by Olympus' strong pre-analytical automation position in Europe and Asia.
