Possibly Unique Perfect Obverse 1805 JR-2 Dime, MS631805 10C 4 Berries MS63 NGC. JR-2, R.2. Previously PCGS-certified MS64, this splendid piece has deep gray patina with lilac, blue, and gold toning on both sides. Sharply struck with satiny luster. Just a little brighter luster would increase the grade and overall eye appeal.
Die State. No die cracks or clash marks are seen on either side, with only a small patch of die rust near D in UNITED. To the best of our knowledge, this earliest die state is unique.
Condition Census. Quite a number of high grade 1805 JR-2 dimes exist, but the present example is the finest and the only example known with a perfect obverse die.
Appearances. Plated in the R.M. Smythe catalog.
Obverse Die. The 1 nearly touches the lowest curl and the top of the 5 has a spine extending into the bust. LIB are close and BERTY are wide. Star 1 is far from the curl, star 7 is farther from L, star 8 is very close to the Y, and star 13 is close to the bust.
State a. Perfect with no crack through ERTY. State b. Cracked from the rim through ERTY. Minor clash marks. State c. Cracked from the rim below star 13 into the bottom of the bust. The die is lapped, removing most of the clash marks. State d. Cracked from the rim between stars 9 and 10 into the bust, about one-third of the distance down from the base of the neck to the bottom of the bust.
Note. The reverse is rotated about 20 degrees on all State a and State b examples, and is normally aligned on State c and State d pieces. The rotation was apparently corrected when the die was removed and lapped.
Reverse Die. Four berries in the branch. All letters in the legend are separated from each other and from the devices. AMER are extremely close together, with AM slightly higher than ER. The star pattern is unusual with two rows of six stars each, and a single star touching the back of the eagle's neck. Stars 1, 2, and 5, touch the clouds above.
State a. Perfect. State b Minor die rust near D of UNITED.
Heritage Commentary. The pattern of stars on the reverse is known as a "line pattern," a layout that was generally abandoned about 1798 in favor of the more aesthetically pleasing "arc pattern." The only other Heraldic Eagle reverse die from the 1800s with a line pattern is the 1804 with 14 reverse stars. The authors of the dime book suggest that the line pattern 1804 and 1805 reverse dies were left over from 1798.
Consignor Commentary. 1805 JR-2's have a die crack from the rim above B through ERTY to the rim. 1805 JR-1's do not have this crack. That's what the dime book says and that was my experience for my first 12 years of looking at Draped Bust dimes. 1805 dimes are plentiful and I looked at lot of them. But, I always wondered if it really was the case that the crack developed in the die after striking all of the JR-1's and before striking any of the JR-2's. Finally in the fall of 2000, at a relatively obscure sale of U.S. coins I found this coin--a JR-2 without the crack! I was not able to attend the sale so I arranged for Stu Levine to purchase the coin for me.
Provenance. Ex: R.M. Smythe (11/2000), lot 1227.

(This article is the second in a series on the Uniform Voidable Transactions Act of 2014 ("UVTA") , as found at http://goo.gl/kS7MqZ and adopted by the Uniform Law Commission on July 16, 2014. Your author was an American Bar Association Advisor to the Drafting Committee to this Act.)
The term "conflict of laws" refers to the situation when two or more possible jurisdiction's laws might apply and they differ as to the result that might be reached in a particular case. The term "choice of laws" basically means the directions given to the courts to decide which jurisdiction's laws to apply; think of the choice of law rules as a "pointer" that indicate which set of laws will apply to a particular controversy. Or, think of it this way: choice of law rules solve conflict of laws problems.
Arguably, the area of conflict of laws presents one of the most — if not the singular most — intellectually challenging bodies of law that lawyers face in actual practice. Most laws are drafted with the assumption that only the laws of one jurisdiction will ever apply, being the home jurisdiction where those laws are adopted. While that is all well and good in the vast majority of cases, there are situations where, for instance, the plaintiff and the defendant are in different jurisdictions, and then the court has to figure out which laws apply.
To give you an idea of the nature of the problem, let's presume that Bill in New York sells a widget to Mary in Oregon. They get into some dispute on whether the widget provided by Bill was what was promised; under New York law it was, but under Oregon law it wasn't. Which law do we apply?
If you think that hypothetical is complicated, then let's instead presume that Bill was not in New York, but instead is located in Amsterdam. Now we have a situation involving two very different legal systems entirely! It's enough to make a lawyer consider the ritualistic use of peyote as a method of, or escape from, trying to resolve these issues.
Thus, in commercial law, nearly all agreements have "choice of law" provisions, which means that the parties have agreed that in the event of a dispute, some particular jurisdiction's laws will apply to govern their relationship. While that is all well and good for commercial law, it still leaves everybody else who didn't have an agreement choosing a jurisdiction, to be left with these hair-pulling issues.
Those pulling their hair include creditors who didn't have anything like a choice-of-law agreement, or typically any agreement at all, with the person who got off with a fraudulently-transferred asset.
Indeed, the main impetus for the changes to the 1984 Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (UFTA), now the 2014 Voidable Transactions Act (UVTA), was the recognition that fraudulent transfer law needed statutory guidance in the area of conflict of laws.
"But wait!", some of you may now be saying, "the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act is a uniform statute, presumably meaning that all the laws in that area are alike — so why do we need choice of law rules for a supposedly uniform act?"
To some extent, such sentiment would be well-founded. But to perhaps a larger extent, the presumption would be false. Not all the states have adopted the UFTA — a notable exception being New York, which still uses the old Uniform Fraudulent Conveyances Act that is not nearly as comprehensive as the UFTA.
Then, quite a few states have tinkered with their UFTA so that it is not quite as uniform as one might think. California's limitations period for the bringing of a fraudulent transfer case are much longer than those in other states, for example. Other states have changed their non-UFTA laws in such a way as to indirectly impact their version of the UFTA. In all these situations, conflict-of-laws issues may arise, even though between two states they may have both adopted the UFTA in major part.
Then, of course, we have foreign jurisdictions which have not adopted the UFTA, and indeed may not follow the Anglo-American system of law at all.
I could go on and on, but there is really no need to because someone else has written in much greater depth on the subject, and indeed it was his writings that helped spur the Uniform Law Commission to decide that the 1984 UFTA needed to be revised in the form of the 2014 UVTA so as to address the conflict of laws issues.
That someone is Prof. Kenneth C. Kettering, who in 2011 wrote "Codifying a Choice of Law Rule for Fraudulent Transfer: A Memorandum to the Uniform Law Commission", as later published in the American Bankruptcy Institute Law Review, and as found at http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1920512 His 41-page article goes into great depth as to why the UFTA needed the choice of law rules that eventually ended up as Section 10 of the 2014 UVTA, and I heartily commend readers to that article. I'll let his article comprehensively answer the "why", and instead jump right to the result.
The following section is completely new to the UFTA, i.e., it is an addition and not a revision:
(a) In this section, the following rules determine a debtor's location:
(1) A debtor who is an individual is located at the individual's principal residence.
(2) A debtor that is an organization and has only one place of business is located at its place of business.
(3) A debtor that is an organization and has more than one place of business is located at its chief executive office.
(b) A claim in the nature of a claim under this [Act] is governed by the local law of the jurisdiction in which the debtor is located when the transfer is made or the obligation is incurred.
The provisions are clear and workable in litigation. The law that will apply will be that of the debtor's residence, not where the debtor might have traveled to or been temporarily staying when the challenged transaction occurred. If the debtor is a business, then the applicable law will be that of where the business is conducting business or, if any multiple jurisdictions, then where the business has its headquarters.
The time for making the determination as to the individual debtor's residence, or the organizational debtor's place of business or headquarters, is the time when the transfer occurs. This would keep a debtor from, for instance, making a fraudulent transfer while in State A, and then promptly moving to State B to try to take advantage of its more favorable laws.

According: http://www.msfn.org/...php/t28820.html and http://www.msfn.org/...o...1&hl=office I just tested eryen idea to delete some registry from pro11.msi .
So, after that I can install Office 2003 at T13 (with cab/svcpack !).
My solution :
1. Slipstream Office 2003 kit with SP3
2. Install admin version into fresh virtual machine (providing your serial number, user and company)with setup.exe /a and save all into new Office 2003 folder
3. Modify Office setup with Microsoft Office Resurce Kit and generate a NEW setup.MST file:
- run: Custom Instalation Wizard from Microsoft Office Resurce Kit
- point them to PRO11.msi
- make all changes for packets to be installed/removed
- IMPORTANT: at 12/24 step choose " Remove Registry Entry" tab and select Add and complete next form with:
• Root: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
• Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\DW\Installed
• Value Name: DW0200
4. Choose OK and Finsih and save your new *.MST as setup.MST into your Office2003 setup folder.
5. Create a SFX archive using WinRar and select SFX option :
• Into "Run After extraction" write : setup.exe /wait TRANSFORMS=setup.mst /qn
• In modes tab check: Unpack to temp folder, Hide all, Overwrite all
• Save your archive as office 2003.exe
6. make new Add-on cab with NLITE ADD-ON MAKER and chose to execute your SFX archive (office2003.exe-created at step 5)
7. Insert your add-on with NLITE as new hotfix and create a new XPCD image !

The Buffalo Sabres have agreed to re-sign gritty forward Patrick Kaleta to a multiyear contract. Kaleta was a restricted free agent, whose rights were retained by the Sabres in June when they extended him a qualifying offer. From nearby Angola, N.Y., Kaleta has played four full seasons with the Sabres after being selected by Buffalo in the sixth round of the 2004 draft. He had five goals and 10 points, and a career-high 116 penalty minutes in 63 games last season. Overall, Kaleta has 50 points (26 goals) and 434 penalty minutes in 267 career NHL games.

I am a very loyal person and believe in treating people with dignity and respect. I work with disabled people and have such a soft spot for them and also the elderly. Oh and for animals. Lol. I LOVE dogs. I have a 10 year old lab named Dexter. He is the coolest dog ever- you will agree if you ever meet him. I also just got a new puppy...she is a handful but makes me laugh every day. I consider myself to be a great friend, as I can keep a secret better than anyone. I really enjoy working out and love to go to Zumba and Spinning classes. God is very important in my life and although i am not a religious nut, I am very spiritual. I believe a relationship cannot work without trust and mutual respect for one another...I am not looking to change anyone just as I do not want someone to try to change me. I will respect your interests and what you like to do and I hope that you would respect mine. It would be great if we could share some of those interests and do some things together- but not everything. I love to travel and it would be great to find someone who likes to explore new places with me. Going out is fun, but so is staying in...I think there needs to be a balance. I definitely like to get out and do things and do not always like to be a homebody. I have a sarcastic sense of humor and love to laugh at strange things. I dont like negative attitudes, they bring me down and I try to look for the positive in each and every situation...

A binomial experiment is a series of n successive Bernoulli trials (a repetition of a success/failure experiment n times). The discrete probability distribution of the number of successes in these trials is known as a binomial distribution. The simplest form, when only one trial is performed, is a Bernoulli distribution. The formula for calculating the probability of k successes in n trials is , where the binomial coefficient is the number of ways k things can be chosen from a set of n items. An example of a binomial distribution is when flipping a coin 10 times and counting heads, the distribution is and . The mean of a binomial distribution (μx) equals np, and the variance () equals .

By knocking off some weight and making some subtle and obvious changes, Nokia can finally claim to have a phone capable of taking on its competitors. Don't get me wrong, the Lumia 920 is a good, sturdy device and has a lot going for it.
But compare it with the slim, sleek, light Lumia 925, and you can understand why there's a certain degree of bullishness at the Finnish company to take on the likes of Apple, Samsung and Sony in the high-end smartphone category.

Shorai LFX18A1-BS12 and Water Exposure?
I just installed a Shorai LFX18A1-BS12 ultra lightweight high performance battery in my 990 Adventure R and it's working fine, but I just learned that this battery is not waterproof and I do 2-3 week rides through tons of mud, dirt and sand including deep water crossings. I'm concerned that this battery is going to shit the bed on me in the middle of nowhere hundreds of miles from the nearest motorcycle shop. Is there any way to waterproof this thing by sealing it with silicone or has anyone else used this battery on their adventure and beat the snot out of it through many water crossings? I'm thinking of putting the OEM Yuasa battery back in and selling this. Any thoughts?
You may want to give Craig from CJ a call for his exp. He's had one in his for 2yrs or so and sure he doesn't shy away from water up there.
Also maybe give Shorai a call, they've always been helpful with questions.
If water enters the battery you will have problems.
The best solution is to buy a battery which doesn't have
such a vulnerability. Rather than suggest a particular brand
( this might imply bias on my part ) I will just say that if you
are riding off the beaten path you owe it to yourself to use a
different battery which is not going to be damaged if you
submerge it in water.
And then there is the issue of Shorai batteries not having
internal electronics which allow for balanced charging via
the bike's charging system. This is a design deficiency of the
first order. Other batteries have better designs.
I bought one Shorai but I'll never buy another, for the reasons I
outlined above. Shorai is ( like the BMW GS ) a triumph of
marketing BS over substance, but sooner or later the truth
comes out. And that is why some of us ride a KTM and some
of us use a battery which is not a Shorai.
Yeah, those two sources could not possibly be biased
or have an agenda which has something to do with selling
Shorai batteries. Surely they will give you only accurate
info on whether a Shorai is going to be reliable, after all
they don't have anything to lose by telling you that a Shorai
will have problems, right ?
:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl :rofl:rofl:rofl
Where did you hear that Shorai batteries aren't waterproof? Just wondering. I have used a shorai battery in my dirt bike for over a year. Rain, mud, dust, whatever.... I've never had an issue.
Thanks guys. I'm going to put the factory Yuasa YTZ14S battery back in the bike as I can't afford to get stranded on a long adventure ride in BFE and ruin a trip over a battery that is susceptible to water damage. My fault for not doing the research first. I do like the idea of saving 7 lbs. and I would run this battery in a sportbike all day long, but not feeling optimistic about it on the 990, especially where the battery sits down low behind the front tire. I read in a few forum threads that it is not waterproof and you can tell just by looking at it that it won't keep water out. there's an electronic interface on the side to plug in the Shorai charger which I cannot imagine is waterproof. Will post the battery and charger up for sale soon. Thanks.
Ive never heard of one failing due to water intrusion. Have You?
Not firsthand, but I don't want to find out the hard way. Maybe I'll ask Craig to see what he thinks. I could seal the thing with silicone, but then the warranty would be void. Decisions...
Bias? Please point us to the technical information that illustrates the design deficiencies you are describing. I'm interested to learn more.
I pulled the Shorai battery out of the 990 tonight and sealed all of the seams with clear silicone including around the terminals and interface connector port. It should be essentially water tight now. I didn't want to sacrifice the weight savings. Will see how long it lasts...
Aren't only LiPo-Batteries, not LiFe-s.thing like the Shorai vulnerable. I have two in my 250EXc and my 990 and never (1 year) experienced any problems, the 990 surely got water in the box (River crossing), while the 250 only got wet from sprayed water.
The Shorai just won't start my 950 in the cold. Period. For a long time, it would work on the third try, but that became harder and harder over time. Now the battery won't take a charge, so it's done. I was planning on charging the Shorai and carrying it in luggage as a backup because they are supposed to hold a charge forever. But now, it's headed for the landfill. I'm going to try the Interstate battery for a change, and I don't think I'll go down this path again until the technology is better.
No issues in torrential downpours and deep water crossing
I had my Shorai in when we went across deep water crossing in Wyoming (remember forever west 2011) with no issues. Was in torrential downpours in Pacific Northwest when we thought the bikes were going to float away.
Battery has been completely soaked or underwater (since it sits so low on the 950) many times with no issues so far.
I have a pair of them and have never had an issue with them at all. There is the quirk about not liking the cold after they have been sitting but after powering the headlight or the starter for 20 seconds they come to life. I am a believer in them
I have one as well and have had no issues. Actually, I killed one by leaving the key on all night then charging it with the wrong charger. I spoke to Shoria and told them what I did and they sent me a new and improved model free as long as I sent the bad battery back in the per paid box they sent. Outstanding service. Do actual research instead of spreading rumors on the Internet.

The Aldol addition reaction involves the addition of α-carbon of an enolizable aldehyde or ketone to the carbonyl group of another aldehyde or ketone and thus by giving a β-hydroxy carbonyl compound also known as an aldol (indicating both aldehyde and alcohol groups). The reaction is catalyzed more commonly by a base or some times by an acid.
If the β-hydroxy carbonyl compound containing an α-hydrogen undergoes subsequent dehydration to yield an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, the entire process is also called as Aldol condensation. The dehydration step is possible under the aldol reaction conditions or mostly carried out by heating in presence of an acid or sometimes during acidic workup.
This reaction is a powerful means of making carbon-carbon bonds. The new C-C bond formed is shown in red color in above reaction sequence.
* The first step in base catalyzed aldol reaction is the abstraction of an α-hydrogen from the enolizable carbonyl compound to give a resonance stabilized enolate anion. Usually this step is slow and rate determining.
Note: Usually hydroxide ion is used as a base, since it is less basic than the enolate ion. This ensures the formation of only small amount of enolate ion and is a necessary condition for further reaction of this ion with unionized carbonyl compound. Otherwise, if strong bases like amide are used, all the reactant molecules are converted to enolate ions and no further addition is possible.
*The next step is the nucleophilic addition of enolate anion to the carbonyl group of second aldehyde or ketone molecule. The final product formed after protic workup is a β-hydroxy carbonyl compound (an aldol).
Note: In aldol reaction, the enolizable aldehyde or ketone acts as nucleophile, whereas the carbonyl group of other molecule acts as electrophilic centre.
* Initially an enol is generated from the enolizable carbonyl compound during the acid catalyzed aldol reaction.
* Thus formed enol reacts with the protonated carbonyl group of another molecule.
The spontaneous dehydration of β-hydroxy carbonyl compound containing an α-hydrogen may be possible under the aldol reaction conditions or by heating in acid medium. The formation of stable α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound is the driving force for this step. Hence the initial aldol addition product is often not isolated.
Dehydration in basic medium:
It proceeds via E1cB (Elimination Unimolecular conjugate Base) mechanism. Initially, the hydroxide ion removes acidic α-hydrogen to yield an enolate ion, which is a conjugate base of aldol. In the second step, the hydroxide ion is lost from the enolate ion to furnish the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound.
Dehydration in acidic medium:
Both the aldol reaction and condensation are reversible. In aldol reactions between two molecules of the same aldehyde are generally quite successful, since the equilibrium lies far to the right, and the yields are very high.
E.g. The formation of aldol (β-hydroxy butyraldehyde) from two molecules of acetaldehyde and subsequent dehydration to crotonaldehyde occurs readily in presence of a base like NaOH or Na2CO3; or an acid like HCl.
Note: There are two geometric isomers (i.e., E and Z) possible for crotonaldehyde.
However the equilibrium lies to the left in case of ketones. The equilibrium is to be shifted to the right to achieve satisfactory yields by adjusting the reaction conditions. A Soxhlet extractor is generally employed to serve this purpose.
A mixture of products is formed in case of unsymmetrical ketones if both the groups have α-hydrogens. However such ketones react preferentially at less hindered side.
E.g. The major addition product formed when 2-butanone is treated with a base is shown below.
Note: However, each of above addition products undergoes dehydration easily by giving E & Z isomers of corresponding α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound. Thus four isomeric α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds are formed in the reaction upon completion of reaction.
A mixture of addition products are formed when two different enolizable carbonyl compounds are subjected to aldol reaction conditions.
For example, four different addition products are formed (without considering the stereoisomers), when two different enolizable aldehydes are reacted i.e., two aldols from reaction between molecules of the same aldehyde and two crossed aldol products from different aldehyde molecules.
E.g. When a mixture of acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde are treated with a base, a mixture of four addition products are formed as shown below.
Again, each of these addition products gives two geometrical isomers upon dehydration, leading to eight different condensed products. That is why the aldol reaction between two different enolizable carbonyl compounds is seldom employed in organic synthesis.
However, the crossed aldol reactions have synthetic utility in two cases:
Only one crossed aldol product is formed when one of the carbonyl compound lacks α-hydrogen.
E.g. Cinnamaldehyde is formed as the only crossed aldol product when acetaldehyde (enolizable) reacts with benzaldehyde (non-enolizable) in basic medium.
Note: In above reaction, the self aldol condensation of acetaldehyde is the competing reaction. To suppress this, along with the possible cannizzaro reaction, slow addition of acetaldehyde to benzaldehyde maintained in a mild alkaline medium is suggested.
Since the carbonyl carbon of aldehyde is more electrophilic than that of ketone, the reaction between an aldehyde an a ketone is synthetically viable. The α-carbon of ketone usually adds to the carbonyl carbon of aldehyde, leading to only one major product.
E.g. The aldol reaction of acetaldehyde with acetophenone leads to the formation of 1-phenylbut-2-en-1-one predominantly.
The directed aldol reactions involve preformed enolate of the carbonyl compound using strong base like LDA. The lithium enolate is treated with another carbonyl compound to achieve desired crossed aldol addition.
The lithium enolate can be either cis (Z) or trans (E). Cis enolate usually gives syn addition product and trans enolate gives anti addition product.
In most of the cases, the cis form is kinetically favored and hence syn ketol is formed selectively as the major product of addition.
This diastereoselectivity is due to the formation of cyclic six membered transition state (Zimmerman-Traxler transition state) in which the bulky group of carbonyl compound favorably takes pseudoequatorial position, whereas the bulky group on the enolate has to take pseudoaxial position. This leads to syn product.
However with cyclic systems, the trans enolates are formed due to ring constraints. Hence anti addition product is formed as major product. The ring carbon must be at pseudoaxial position in the cyclic transition state. Hence the anti addition product is formed as major product.
1) Acetone yields diacetone alcohol when treated with Ba(OH)2. It is the addition product.
However, mesityl oxide is formed when acetone is treated with dry HCl due to subsequent dehydration of initially formed diacetone alcohol.
The mesityl oxide may further condense with another molecule of acetone to give phorone.
2) An intra-molecular version of aldol condensation is illustrated below with 6-oxoheptanal.
Since the carbonyl carbon of aldehyde is more electrophilic than that of ketone and five membered ring is more entropy favored than seven membered ring, the above product is formed predominantly.

A-HA Artist Bio and Lyrics
After multiple re-recordings and two failed releases 80's band A-Ha's, "Take On Me" became a worldwide hit in 1985. The first release of the song had only sold 300 copies, but after a rework with producer Alan Tarney, it sold 1.5 million copies around the world in only one month.
Eventually A-Ha's single "Take On Me" sold approximately 6 million copies worldwide. Take On Me hit #1 in the US and peaked at #2 on the UK charts.
Sales of A-Ha's Take On Me were bolstered in the US by the music video on MTV that mimicked the climactic scene from the Ken Russell film Altered States. The video used a sketchy animation / live action combination called Rotoscoping. A-ha received a Best Video nomination for "Take On Me" at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards.
A-ha would never again have a Billboard Top 40 single in the US after Take On Me. In the US A-ha is considered an 80's one hit wonder. In the rest of the world A-ha has had greater success beyond their first hit.
A-ha's second album in 1986 was Scoundrel Days and represented a move towards alternative rock as synth pop began to fall out of style. In 1987, they provided the title song for the James Bond film The Living Daylights.
A-ha's 1988 release Stay on These Roads received more mixed reviews than the previous albums. In spite of declining sales in the next few years, A-ha managed to record two more albums, 1990's East of the Sun, West of the Moon and Memorial Beach in 1993.

From 1980 to 1990, Iron Maiden released seven studio albums, none of which I think of as failures. Considering how easy it is for bands to fall off the wagon after a decade of such rabid productivity, this is no small feet. More impressive, many would argue that, not only were none of those records failures; contrarily, most of them were masterpieces. The commercial and critical acclaim garnered by such works as The Number of the Beast and Powerslave cemented Maiden's status as one of the greatest acts ever regardless of genre, and provided a foundation for aspiring metal bands so powerful that the group could be mentioned in the same tier as Black Sabbath in terms of influence.
So, most Maiden fans are probably still puzzled as to why their first couple of records to come out of the '90s, No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark, were such disasters. Personally, I never thought either was entirely horrible, but general consensus says that those records were underwhelming, and even the fanboys agree. In particular, it's the former most people point to as being the low point of Bruce Dickenson's first stint with Maiden before he left them in 1994, giving way to the dreaded Blaze era.
What's most surprising about No Prayer for the Dying is that it's not particularly different compared to its predecessors. Usually, fans react most negatively to albums that fall victim to merciless experimentation, but that's not the case here. The record is bred from the same style as every other Maiden album, and sounds like a logical follow-up to what came before it. So, then, why is it that it fell so short of the high expectations established for it, and why is it such a bore? I have several theories as to why.
Theory One: Although the vast majority of the legendary Maiden lineup remained intact for the album (Adrian Smith being the lone glaring omission), they don't sound like themselves. Dickenson's voice is as unique as ever, but he seems like he's struggling. On every outing before, he dominated. There was a live-like energy to his vocals that captured you and drove the songs forward in rare fashion. Here, he sounds bland. The guitars as well, despite providing a handful of unisons in Maiden's inimitable style, aren't nearly as powerful as they were as recently as Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.
Theory Two: Because Maiden never strayed far from their comfort zone, they were bound to lose interest at some point. The record reflects that. As mentioned above, it doesn't sound far removed from what came before it, but it's less satisfying because it falls short on the intangibles. It's formulaic, it's passionless and it's stale. There's no better example of this than its closer "Mother Russia", which epitomizes everything the band's come to be known for, but is still somehow hugely forgettable. Compare it to other closers like "Hallowed Be Thy Name" and it flutters.
Theory Three: A combination of what's listed above, the primary reason why No Prayer for the Dying fails is because it's simply not hooky. The best songs off the record are probably the title track, "Holy Smoke" and "Bring Your Daughter… To the Slaughter", but they're still easily forgotten. I remember when I heard "The Prisoner" or "Powerslave" for the first time, the melodies enticing me the same way a drug addict gets enticed by and never forgets his first doobie. There's nothing remotely close to that on Prayer, so why invest time in it, especially when the instrumental work and performances aren't very good either?
Experience has taught me that there are two types of bad albums: Those that annoy you and those that bore you. In this case, the album falls into the latter category. It's a collection of average Maiden compounded against average Maiden, the group's already-present penchant for the monotonous rising to unbearable levels. It's not a horrible effort from them, but it's not an interesting one either, and it would go on to mark the outset of an eight year stretch of studio albums that only got bleaker as the '90s unraveled.

"Quantum simulators based on novel artificial semiconductor structures are at the crossroads of quantum science and innovative technologies," says Aron Pinczuk, Applied Physics Professor at The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science and Physics Professor at the School of Arts and Sciences, Columbia University. "While the frontiers of quantum physics are being explored with giant accelerators, in this branch of condensed matter science we employ advanced methods that expand the state-of-the-art in growth and processing of semiconductors. We could describe our work on quantum simulators as 'probing quantum weirdness in a nano-nut-shell.'"
The simulator developed by the researchers consists of a honeycomb lattice realized on the surface of a Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) heterostructure using advanced nanofabrication methods. The artificial honeycomb lattice structure replicates that of graphene, a material in which electrons behave in a peculiar way because of the crystal-lattice geometry. With the ability to modify key parameters such as the lattice constant of the artificial lattice, the researchers are in the position to explore different regimes of electron-electron interactions in graphene-like systems.
Vittorio Pellegrini and Marco Polini from NEST Laboratory of Istituto Nanoscienze-Cnr and Scuola Normale Superiore note that the AG-device has been tested with a "first run" trial that generated an unexpected peculiar quantum state. "The early data we collected are quite promising and show the great potential our device has," they say. "The next step in this

The Challenge
The future of cloud computing infrastructure will see hybrid/multi-cloud strategies as organizations seek public-cloud cost savings while managing risk and avoiding vendor lock-in with complementary private-cloud deployments.
This evolving, heterogeneous footprint will spawn inefficiency and risk with phantom resources, security holes, data sprawl, and a general lack of visibility and control.
Organizations need a Cloud Management Platform (CMP) to integrate different public/private clouds into a comprehensive, easy-to-use framework for infrastructure visibility and lifecycle management.
An effective Cloud Management Platform (CMP) is the solution
Using the DivvyCloud Management Platform (DCMP) you can achieve the following:
- Gain Visibility: Collect server data across multiple public/private clouds (or clusters) via our unified DivvyCloud console
- Take Action: Manage compute resources including instances, storage, security groups and networks across different clouds
- Organize: Group IT resources in meaningful ways to facilitate efficient cost management, team collaboration, and access control
- Automate: Enable engineer self-service with pre-defined provisioning templates and time based events
- Analyze & Recommend: Custom alerts and reporting analytics provide intelligent optimization and cost saving strategies
How It Works
Our software is available in both on-premise and hosted options. It harvests the data from cloud providers and uses advanced data modeling to provide you with the following:
- Web Console: Manage virtual infrastructure from a "single pane of glass" with a dedicated view for engineers
- Programmable API: Build applications against multiple clouds through a single unified programmable interface
- Unification Engine: Abstract and unify cloud infrastructure data into a consolidated, dynamic data model
- Cloud Scheduler: Support tens of thousands of compute resources while remaining in sync and responsive

Kick It Out row will delight racists says Cardiff's Malky Mackay
Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay believes the row in football over whether to wear 'Kick It Out' T-shirts has damaged the sport's anti-racism efforts.
Leading players including Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand chose not to wear the garments over a perceived lack of action from the campaign.
"I just think it falls into the hands of the racists," Mackay said.
"They'll be delighted there is in-fighting as has been seen in the last few days."
The Cardiff squad opted to wear the Kick It Out T-shirts before their defeat at Nottingham Forest at the weekend.
But several high-profile black players at Premier League clubs refused to, including both sets of players at the game between Swansea City and Wigan Athletic.
Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm told BBC Sport Wales that their stance reflected their desire for greater action to be taken.
Who chose not to wear Kick It Out T-shirt?
- Everton: Victor Anichebe, Sylvain Distin, Steven Pienaar
- QPR: Anton Ferdinand, Djibril Cisse, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Nedum Onouha and Junior Hoilett
- Man City: Micah Richards, Joleon Lescott
- Man Utd: Rio Ferdinand
- Reading: Jason Roberts
- Stoke: Kenwyne Jones
- Swansea: All players
- Wigan: All players
"Everybody is against racism of course but everyone expects the governing bodies to do more," said Dutchman Vorm.
"They really have to do something and not just say something on a T-shirt. So some of the players didn't want to wear the T-shirt because of that."
Mackay said that showing overt support for campaigns was a matter of individual conscience for his players, but that he hoped football could show its solidarity over such issues.
"It's a free society here and as far as things like that are concerned everyone has got their own judgement to make on what they want to do," Mackay added.
"I wouldn't force anyone to wear it but my personal opinion is that we should wear it.
"The chairman [Lord Herman Ouseley] of the 'Kick It Out' campaign has been championing kicking racism out of our sport for years and is trying his damnedest to make this work, as have a lot of people.
"People have got opinions but to stand as one block and try and fight against it is the best way."
Mackay compared the concerns over racism in British football with the problems sectarian problems that had beset Scottish football, especially in regard to the two Glasgow clubs of Rangers and Celtic.
"It's a problem in society, it's down to individuals. When you're talking about 25,000 people in a crowd, that could be 25,000 people turning up at any event - a rally - so you're always going to have a minority," Mackay said.
"It is a minority but you're always going to have that I think. What it is now is it is massively highlighted if something does happen at games.
"In Scotland the problem was bigotry more than racism and that over the last couple of years has been highlighted enough, that now certain singing at grounds is unnacceptable.
"It was always unnacceptable but it's now not allowed at both Ibrox and Parkhead and that can only be a good thing."

Leopard photo knocks spots off the competition
Judges were spoilt for choice in Marwell Wildlife's prestigious Photographer of the Year competition.
'Leopard cub in the light' beat off fierce competition to be the overall winning image. The fantastic photograph of the Hampshire Zoo's Amur leopard cub 'Kanika' was taken by George Wheelhouse of Flitwick in Bedfordshire.
George said: "I'm overwhelmed - I can't believe it! I visited the zoo for one day with my family and never believed I'd get a shot like this."
Rare leopard cub born at Marwell
Marwell Zoo has announced the arrival of an Amur leopard cub - one of the world's most critically endangered species of big cat. Born to mum, Kaia and dad, Akin, the little leopard is an importantaddition to the European Endangered Species Breeding Programme.
It is estimated that there are as few as 35 Amur leopards left in the wild. This tiny population which survives today is under serious risk of extinction, and maintaining a healthy captive population is crucial to the global conservation of the species.

|COIL UNIT AND COIL ASSEMBLY FOR IRON-LESS LINEAR MOTOR - A coil unit and coil assembly for iron-less liar motor and the coil unit includes two vertical function sides and two axial non-function sides. The multiple units are alternatively connected to each other by inserting the vertical function side of one coil unit into the hollow portion of the adjacent coil unit so as to form a coil assembly. The width of the vertical function side is D1 and the distance between two respective insides of the two vertical function sides is D2. D2=m×D1+ΔL, wherein m representing the number of the vertical function sides of other coil units received in the vertical direction of the hollow portion. The ΔL is the width of the gap which receives a separation plate between the two adjacent vertical function sides to increase the efficiency of dissipating heat or insulation when current passes through the coil assembly.
|CHAIN FOR ROLLING ELEMENTS - A chain for rolling elements includes a carrier belt having first and second side strip on two sides thereof, and multiple holes are defined in the carrier belt and located between the first and second side strips. Each hole has a first opening end and a second opening end. Multiple retainers are connected to the carrier belt and located alternatively with respect to the holes. Multiple first ribs are connected between the first side strip and the retainer. Multiple second ribs are connected between the second side strip and the retainer. Each of the first and second side strips has a thickness T
|CIRCULATION MAINTAINING DEVICE FOR LINEAR SLIDE ASSEMBLY - A circulation maintaining device for a linear slide assembly includes two top boards, four half mediate plates, two third half tubes, two bottom boards, and two end caps. Each of the above mentioned parts is manufactured integrally by way of injection molding and needs only one set of molds. These parts are connected to the slider symmetrically. Each of the half mediate tubes provides a second half tube and a half mediate plate. The second half tubes are inserted into the top holes and the bottom holes from two ends of the slider. The two half maintaining plates each have stops and recessed areas in longitudinal direction thereof so as to form restriction in transverse direction. The half maintaining plats each have ribs which are engaged with the grooves in the slider to provide positioning effect in a vertical direction.
|UNIT COIL, COIL ASSEMBLY AND CORELESS TYPE LINEAR MOTOR - The present invention discloses a unit coil, a coil assembly and a coreless type linear motor. The unit coil includes bent subcoils arranged adjacent to one another and disposed on a non-acting side axially. The coil assembly includes tri-phase unit coil modules arranged in an operating direction, and the tri-phase unit coil module is composed of three identical unit coils alternately stacked and sealed by a resin layer, and the unit coil is formed by bending and stacking sub-coils. The bent sub-coils are stacked to a sufficient thickness or arranged to a sufficient width to achieve the desired driving force, and then a magnetic rail is provided to form a coreless type linear motor. In the aforementioned structure, the unit coil composed by an alternately overlapping layout method effectively reduces the required space of the coil assembly, and the sub-coils can be manufactured easily and will not be damaged easily.

Sarah Allbritten '11 writes, "Recently relocated back to SF Bay Area from Los Angeles and I am currently looking for a job."
Christine Ahlstrom '11 graduated with her Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy in May 2013 from the University of Southern California. She is now a Student Services Advisor in the Department of Preventive Medicine in the USC Keck School of Medicine. She lives in the Greater Los Angeles Area.
Brandon Gojenola '13, MBA '15 proposed to fellow Bronco Jaclyn Sunzeri '12 in front of the Santa Clara Mission. Father Art will marry the two in the Mission on July 2, 2016. Brandon earned his MBA in 2015 and now works as a Marketing Operations Specialist at Juniper Networks. Jaclyn will earn her M.A. in Counseling Psychology in 2017. The two met in Walsh Hall in 2009.
Ana Maria Valdes '12 and Mark Spain '13 were married on June 7, 2014, at the Mission Santa Clara de Asís. The couple met at SCU freshmen orientation and began dating their senior year. Other Broncos in attendance included bridesmaids Jessica Campbell '11 and Marlynn Spain '10, and groomsmen Anthony Sagariballa '12, Dong Seon Min '14, and David Sippel '13. The couple resides in Seattle, Wash.
Tanya Schmidt '12 is the new New York chapter co-president of the SCU Alumni Association. An English major with minors in religious studies and classics, Tanya moved to New York after two seasons of professional volleyball in Europe for a Master of Arts program at NYU in English and American literature. She enjoys pick-up volleyball and volunteering with an after-school cooking program at a school in Brooklyn.
In May, Daniel Peng '12 received a Fulbright U.S. Student Program grant. He's one of about 1,800 recipients nationwide who will have the chance to travel abroad for a unique hands-on learning opportunity in their chosen field.
Starting in September, he will be stationed at a clinic in Hangzhou a city of about 6 million in the eastern portion of China.
His research grant proposal targets Type 2 diabetes, which is far more prevalent, but less understood than Type 1 diabetes. Together, the two forms of the disease affect about 29 million Americans. During his time in Hangzhou, he'll be interacting with patients and clinicians to affect change.
"In terms of the research I'm conducting, this is not hard science," he said. "It's more of a public health project."
Simple changes, Peng noted, can reduce the rates of diabetes. People can often create and maintain better health by eating more fruits and vegetables, and fewer high-fat foods and simple carbohydrates like white rice and potatoes. Another important factor, Peng said, is getting patients to understand and care about dietary restrictions.
Educating others comprises about half of his duties in China. He's also going to be working to create a patient database that will help doctors understand the long-term affects of treatment.
Prior to his current job, Peng spent time working with diabetics of all ages at the Stanford University School of Medicine and at the Pacific Free Clinic in San Jose.

Bianca Frediani '12 is co-owner of Bed Bandits, a company that makes and sells fire-retardant, hypoallergenic mattress toppers. For every three sold, a fourth is donated to a local shelter. It's a business model driven by compassion. "My dad was an Oakland firefighter for over 30 years," she told the Contra Costa Times, "running into fires to literally save people." She wants to make a difference. "I hope someday -- if this (company) becomes a big thing, that we can go to Third World countries and donate these mattress toppers to people who don't have beds."

25 year old man | Bethlehem, PA, USA | Seeking women 21-27 within 50 miles
Always do what you are afraid to do.
I just moved back to the Lehigh Valley, and am trying to meet new people while balancing a busy work life. It's pretty easy to entertain me. Just a movie or dinner and wine is time well spent in my book. I like the occasional big weekend away. I do enjoy going out, but it's just not something I need to do all the time. I want to find someone I can just enjoy my free time with and can sit down to have an intelligent conversation, but also brings humor and fun to my life. If you like to go to the gym together that would be a huge plus. I'm ready to find someone that is more than just a girl I'm attracted to, although attraction is essential to any relationship. Message me and I'm sure we will find something to talk about :)

I love all kinds of food, but if you put any type of pasta in front of me I will eat it. I enjoy going out for Sushi and Thai food. I will give every type of food at least one chance, especially if it's homemade
I enjoy going to sporting events, movies, concerts and comedy shows, but I am open to try new things. Camping and Hiking are things I don't get the chance to do enough.
I completed the Hunger Games series, Silver Linings Playbook and The Fault in Our Stars. I am currently reading Wolf of Wall Street

Klei Entertainment and Electronic Arts are cranking for another Shanking. The developer and publisher today jointly announced Shank 2, the sequel to last year's blood-drenched side-scrolling action game.
Like its predecessor, Shank 2 will appear on the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and PC downloadable game services. The game was revealed with an early 2012 launch window.
The original game cast players as the eponymous hero, a man betrayed by his family and left to die. Over the course of the game, players exacted revenge on a multitude of villains, but the sequel's storyline will center around the former assassin fighting to protect instead of avenge. In terms of gameplay, Klei Entertainment is introducing a new survival co-op mode to the sequel.
For more on the original game, check out GameSpot's review of Shank.

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 14 (HealthDay News) -- Facebook is using its social-networking prowess to help prevent suicides in the United States and Canada.
The site is launching a service that will allow users to report a suicidal comment they see posted on Facebook using either a special "Report Suicidal Content" link or on the report links throughout the site. The person who posted the worrisome comment will immediately receive an email from Facebook encouraging them to call the toll-free U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255) or to click on a chat session with a crisis worker.
Both options are available 24/7 and provide free, confidential counseling to anyone in need.
The Lifeline, which has answered more than 3 million calls since it was launched in 2005, is funded by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and administered by Link2Health Solutions, a subsidiary of the Mental Health Association of New York City (MHA-NYC).
Currently, the Lifeline already responds to dozens of people each day who have expressed suicidal thoughts on Facebook, according to a SAMHSA news release.
John Draper, the Lifeline's project director and vice president of crisis and behavioral health technology at MHA-NYC, said in the SAMHSA release that, "We have been partnering with Facebook since 2006 to assist at-risk users and are thrilled to launch this new service."
And according to Associated Press, lives have already been saved in this way: In July, for example, police intervened to help prevent a man from killing himself after a friend living in California alerted them to distressing postings on Facebook.
"Although the Lifeline on average handles 70,000 calls per month, we have heard from our Facebook fans and others that there are many people in crisis who don't feel comfortable picking up the phone. This new service provides a way for them to get the help t

Very nice, indeed.
I love the graphics, and the animation is fairly fluid. However, perhaps some actual voice-acting rather than just animal growling would improve it. Understandably they ARE animals, but they're humanoid enough to perhaps have a language. Heck, if you get around to voice acting, contact me, I'd audition.
it was good.
yeah, it was good, and i really liked the animations.it was really smooth, and you could really see the expresion of the character.i also liked the part of the wind and the movement of her hair.however, the sound has some glicthes ,because after a few seconds ,the music, was doing a weird sound like every six seconds.however, i dont know, but i think you should see that problem with the sound.overall, its a very nice flash.yeah.so, keep it up.nice series.i hope they continue...yeah
it was really nice , i liked the animation and the backgrounds were astonishing
well done
love your site btw
please contact me =)
Luv this episode
again beutiful art and story is getting interesting.Primal Wars doesnt always have to be about violence and carnage. nice job
