Rick Perry Compares Himself To… TIM TEBOW
You know, some candidates compare themselves to Woodrow Wilson; some candidates compare themselves to Ronald Reagan, but Perry? He compares himself to Tim Tebow. Behold, beholders.
You know, some candidates compare themselves to Woodrow Wilson; some candidates compare themselves to Ronald Reagan, but Perry? He compares himself to Tim Tebow. Behold, beholders.
Boy, has this been an interesting primary. None of these candidates are overly deserving of adoration, but I sure keep running into people who will defend them to the death, even if that "death" is the death of a "friendship".
Sure you hear tales of "Palinistas" or "Ron Paulbots", but even Rick Perry and Mitt Romney have developed ardent supporters. You have to understand the situation this often puts me in. I talk about politics. A lot. If I have four people in the room, and each one is very much in support of one of the candidates I just mentioned, any conversation I engage in has potential to p*ss off 3/4 of the people in the room. Now, how can that not be frustrating? …really?
And it's not just those politicians' supporters, either. There's a new crop coming up around Rick Santorum, and there used to be a strong following for Michele Bachmann too, so this whole primary has been….. draining.
I'm not the only one experiencing it, but I am one of the few who are willing to speak on it, so here I am, speaking on it.
We've got to man up, people. There's a movie from ten years ago, called "Training Day" with Denzel Washington. (the movie that scored him his Oscar) In it, there's a scene where he says, "Do you want to go to jail, or do you want to go home?" It's a question repeated by another character later in the movie, and both times, it refers to making a tough decision. That line has always stuck with me, and over time, I've come up with a variation of my own that I use when I'm discussing unpopular topics with coworkers, family, or friends. "Do you want to win, or do you want to go home?"
In my mind, life (often) does not work out according to plan, and the difference between success and failure comes down to your ability to adapt. If your favorite candidate has made an ass of themselves, you can either put your head in the sand (go home) or you can reassess what your stance is on this candidate and possibly find a new one. (win)
You don't even have to find a new one, but you certainly can't be mad at your fellow conservatives for pointing out their flaws. This is an important election, and we can't just run "anybody" against Obama, no matter how convinced you are that might just work. (it won't)
So, do you want to win, or do you want to go home?
If you want to win, then you need to be honest about the flaws your candidate has. You also have to be willing to put your support behind another candidate, if the one you've been in favor of turns out to not be viable. Remember, the definition of "winning" is for Obama to be unemployed come 2013, not necessarily for "your guy" to get the nomination.
If you want to go home, then block people on Twitter who make fun of your candidate, unfriend people on Facebook who disagree with you, and be an all-around passive aggressive person. This is a free country, and you have the right to do these things, but don't be surprised, if Barack Obama is still your president when the dust settles on the ground.
For what it's worth, I'm not the arbiter of who is and who is not "viable" in this election. I'm not here to decide that for you. What I am doing, however, is saying that we cannot be crybabies and throw hissy fits when someone pokes fun at our candidate or provides evidence of their failings. We need to elect the best candidate, and that's going to require some vetting. (and at times it might be unpleasant)
If we're willing to be honest with ourselves and work with each other, we have a really good shot at winning… and for Obama to go home.
I came across a Rick Perry ad today that stopped me in my tracks, and not for any of the good reasons. At first glance, it seems like it might be another good TV spot for the candidate from Texas. It starts off with optimistic music and Perry looking like a seasoned man from America's heartland. He's standing by a quiet river, and he begins with a proclamation that he's "not ashamed to admit that he's a Christian". So far so good… Then his next statement kind of derails things. Take a look…
Look… I know that this statement will speak to the hearts of many Americans, but Perry really shouldn't have added the line about "gays serving openly in the military". I think he had a good ad on his hands without the addition of that statement. And to be honest with you, I'm not at all sorry for him for any heat this might bring upon his campaign.
This is a year where Republicans have an honest chance to unseat the current president, and that's saying a lot, considering how dire the GOP's hand was in 2008. Commercials like this do nothing to bolster those chances, however, and I'm ashamed of Perry for putting this line in there.
Now, I know that Perry has been gaining support on this website, and that I'll draw the ire of many of our readers for pointing this out, but if you WANT Perry to be the next president of the United States, ads like this do not help. Whether it is fair or not, Republicans are known for being "against the gays". How does this ad help to change that perception? It doesn't. It only "reaffirms" what many have suspected about Republicans all along.
Also… it was a good ad without that line. Perry looked good, he sounded good, the production values were solid, and his message was fine. Adding the line about gays serving openly in the military did nothing to improve or embellish it. It was foolish, and it was the opposite of helpful.
This isn't the first time that Perry has disappointed me, nor is it the first time that he's "stepped in it", but after enough occurrences, these things start to look like nails in his coffin.
Before gaining his own reputation as a "flip flopper", Mitt Romney was calling out John Kerry for being one, himself. Pot, meet Kettle in this week's "surprising video".
For someone who seems to know so much about accusing people of flip flopping, it seems surprising that Mitt has let himself be strung up by this very same tactic, himself. What do ya'll think? Is this irony? Poetic justice? Or is Mitt just not very good at dealing with his own PR?

Yeah… I don't even know what to say about this one. After spoofing Mark Block (Herman Cain's adviser) for his "smoking ad", Jon Huntsman's daughters have made another interesting song/video.
Informal poll…. Let us know if you're even familiar with the song these girls are spoofing in the comments below.
[poll id="34″]
This is the segment from last night's debate that's going to get the blogosphere fired up.
What do you guys think? Is this the Rick Perry Texas Dream Act all over again? Does Newt Have a point? Is this going to hurt him in the polls? What are your thoughts? Let us know on Facebook and in the comments below.
In the continual march of "inevitability", Mitt Romney picks up another big name endorsement. Sometime today, Senator John Thune (R-SD) is expected to announce his support of presidential hopeful Mitt Romney. The following excerpt is from DesMoinesRegister.com.
"Mitt Romney has shown throughout his life in the private sector, as leader of the Olympics, as governor, and in this campaign that he will not back down from difficult challenges. His plans to revitalize the private sector and restore our country's fiscal health are drawn from his 25 year career as a conservative businessman." -Sen John Thune
Is Mitt the "inevitable" candidate? Or do these endorsements, ultimately, amount to nothing? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
Jon Huntsman has stated that he's made over 100 appearances in New Hampshire, yet he's still near the bottom of the polls. Piers Morgan pressed him on this earlier in the week, and this is how Huntsman replied.
I know Jon Huntsman is not a very popular figure on this website, but I think he handled this question really well. What do you think? Is he a good candidate that has been over looked by the Republican electorate? Or is he an idiot who should have never quit his day job (as ambassador to China)? What do you have to say?
I heard a lot about Herman Cain's "Libya" video yesterday. It always works out like this; I'm in no position to sit down and watch a video, and everyone's talking about it. I heard it was really bad, and the snippets I saw on the news made it look pretty bad also, so I was expecting a train wreck of epic proportions. Well, I hate to tell you, but I was disappointed. It wasn't as much of a train wreck as I'd been led to believe. It was more like watching someone struggle to parallel park a car, so they circle the block in frustration, and then they find a new space has opened up just as they've come back around around the block. It was awkward and sad, but train wreck it was not. I actually felt compelled to annotate the video with my thoughts. Check it out below.
So that's pretty much it. It looks like they woke him up on the bus, threw some clothes on him, and shoved him in the interview. He seems to be progressively waking up throughout the conversation, and by the halfway point, he seems to know what he's doing. I don't know about you, but it didn't seem like that much of a train wreck upon viewing the whole video.
What do you guys think? Was he just sleepy? Was some "special" liquid in that bottle of "water"? Or was it a total flame-out train wreck, after all?
Let us know what you guys think in the comments below. And as always, resist we much.
I tell you what, the "relaxed" Perry isn't all that bad. Here he is at Saturday's CBS debate referencing his "oops" moment from earlier in the week (at the CNBC debate)
The difference between "stiff" Perry and "relaxed" Perry is night and day. I'm not saying that this funnier side makes him qualified to be commander in chief, but you've got to admit, if he'd been this affable the whole time, then maybe his numbers wouldn't have sunk so low.
What do you guys think? Has he recovered from his "oops" moment, or should Perry just drop out and stop embarrassing himself. Let us know in the comments below.
In one of the biggest flubs of the night, Jon Huntsman said he "wants to be the president of the 99%". Ouch, Jon. That was not a good move. Check it out, below.
Now, to be honest with you, I think Jon had a good opportunity, maybe even a great one. He should have said,"I want to be president of the 100%". Instead, he said, "I want to be president of the 99%. I also want to be president of the 1%." That was an awful response, Jon.
What do you guys think? Did Huntsman miss out on a potentially great opportunity? Or is he so far back in the polls, that it wouldn't have mattered if he delivered the new Gettysburg Address? Let us know in the comments below. Or, if you see me playing extreme frisbee in Bryant park, you can stop and talk to me then.
This new "campaign ad" from Mitt Romney tells the hard truth folks.
What do you think? Has he convinced you? Or are you still holding out for Ron Paul to finally have his year? Let us know in the comments below. (and send your hate mail to Jimmy Kimmel in Hollywood, CA)
On Tuesday night, Herman Cain went onto the O'Reilly Factor to discuss (among other things) how the allegations of sexual harassment have impacted his campaign. According to him, business is better than ever. Watch the video below to see what Cain says about how these allegations have impacted him and his campaign.
I have to admit that Cain makes some compelling points in this video, especially the fact that over a course of 42 years, these (supposedly) "baseless" accusations are the only thing he's been confronted with.
What do you think? Is this story finally behind him? Or does Herman still have some 'splainin to do? Let us know in the comments below, or if you're feeling really ambitious, you can rent out a billboard with your opinion on it. Prizes will be awarded to the most creative billboard that's submitted. The deadline is 3pm tomorrow afternoon. (but we suggest telling us in the comments section; it's much simpler for all of us)

Ukraine plans to build about 2,000 km of roads.

World Bank, Ukravtodor sign credit agreement on new road project
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty: Why do so many officials die on Ukraine's roads?
Ukraine plans to build about 2,000 km of roads in 2013-2018. Roads will have appropriate road infrastructure, the press service of the Infrastructure Ministry has said.
According to the report, the plan is included in the draft state targeted economic program for the development of public roads for 2013-2018, which is being completed. The estimated sum needed to implement the program of road development is UAH 264.553 billion. It is planned to finance the program using funds from the national budget and international financial institutions.
The document foresees the bringing of the existing 169,500 km of roads to a proper operating condition, which will facilitate the growth of the country's transit potential.
Nearly 30,000 km of public roads, mainly those leading to the major cities, as well as the highways with the most intensive vehicular traffic, will be repaired.
It is planned to build paved roads to rural settlements.
"Such a large-scale upgrading of Ukrainian roads will not only increase the level of road safety, speed, comfort and efficiency of passenger and freight transportation, but also increase revenues from transit automobile transportation and the development of automobile tourism," reads a statement.
When preparing the draft program, Ukraine studied the road development experience of the United States, Germany, Britain, Japan, Australia and all the countries of northern Europe, as well as the post-Soviet space closest to the level of the development of Ukrainian roads. According to the report, the developers of the draft project came to the conclusion that the best and most acceptable way of upgrading roads is government funding.
"Road construction under the terms of public and private partnership (concession) is much more expensive than through government funding and requires 100% government guarantees, so there is still no alternative to upgrading roads using state funds," reads the report.
However, the ministry is continuing to work to find the best options for the implementation of projects under the terms of public and private partnership in Ukraine and to use them in the future in the case of positive results.
As reported, the Cabinet of Ministers by its decree No. 719 of September 3 approved the concept of the state targeted economic program for the development of public roads for 2013-2018. The state customer of the program is the Infrastructure Ministry.

A 5-star WordPress plugin – http://codecanyon.net/item/personal-livescore/5218575 – newly updated for WordPress 3.9 and above. Tested with WordPress 4.0-beta3.
Well, actually I revisited the first function and replaced "post" with "'post'". It seems that it was an old function and WordPress updated the query in the mean time. So, 'post' should be quoted.
It works, check out the page – http://cghubs.com/our-artists/
Konnessa said
I am a little unclear as to what you are trying to achieve – Are you asking for the query to be ordered by total posts including custom post types, or total posts of a certain custom post type?
You can try to replace the where clause of the query by hooking to pre_user_query.
function user_query_count_post_type($args){ $args->query_from = str_replace("post_type = post AND", "post_type IN ('post','cpt') AND ", $args->query_from); } Usage ex:add_action('pre_user_query','user_query_count_post_type'); $users = get_users('orderby=post_count'); remove_action('pre_user_query','user_query_count_post_type');
I have already tried that and it's not working.
I have this page – http://cghubs.com/our-artists/ – and I want to sort users by the number of custom post types they published.
I'm also interested in this, if anyone knows a solution.
Thank you for your kind words!
I just updated one of the plugins, doing some KickStarter.com campaign work. Check out ImagePress.
Getting ready for the next one!
Thank you guys and girls!
I'll work harder now!
I'm a daddy now, my baby is 19 days old!
I had to stop from working on my CodeCanyon projects for a while, but now I'm back! I have released two new versions of my plugins, and I'm enjoying my newfound fatherhood.
altinselimi said
Any news guys????? I really need one that supports .swf files, for other needs WordPress eCards is great !
I have added .swf support to eCards!
I have 3 plugins on the marketplace and I will merge them into one all-purpose framework which will be capable of doing the same job as each of the 3 initial plugins.
I'm doing this for better support, less work to update all plugins with the same code and better consistency.
How would I go about this and provide support for the previous buyers? They will, most likely, have to purchase the new plugin and migrate their old content to the new one.
I have decided that the new plugin, which has the same name, will replace one of the existing 3 plugins, so I'll have 2 more plugins to deprecate and shut down support.
Is it possible to transfer all buyers from the 2 remaining plugins to the 3rd one?
revaxarts said
Since you're allowed to use your items for own customer I see no problem here. This job doesn't rely on Envato rules so it's totally up to you how to handle updates
That's what I told him via email.
Thanks for your opinion.

dreatern's sketchbook - My learning process
Hello everyone
I'm trying to learn digital painting and drawing, i was always more focused on vector and 3D.
I began to learn digital painting because of 3D, to make textures. But I ended up loving it!
I'm really at the beginning because until recently i had not done anything in this direction.
Right now i feel much more comfortable painting than drawing, i don't know why but i feel i can paint "anything easily" (with alot of errors i know), but when i try to draw something, its just horrible!
Well, i'll post here things i've done on PC and iPad and i hope to receive criticism

Column: Baseball must act now to protect pitchers
While we understand that pitchers are reluctant to wear something that could affect their performance, to balk at anything other than the perfect product is mind-boggling.
From all indications, several companies are working feverishly to develop a product that will address the two main concerns: pitchers don't want to anything that is heavy enough to affect their windups when their heads rock back, or is so thick that it causes them to sweat more — especially on blistering summer days.
Legitimate concerns, to be sure, but pitchers would surely adjust to whatever they had to wear (just as the batters did when finally ordered to wear helmets in the early 1970s). And what's a little extra perspiration compared to the possibility of avoiding a potentially career-ending or even life-threating brain injury?
I'm reminded of all the NASCAR drivers who objected when their governing body, in the wake of Dale Earnhardt's death at the 2001 Daytona 500, ordered everyone to wear a bulky device around the neck, known as the HANS, which helps to eliminate the sort of skull fracture that had killed the sport's biggest star.
These days, no one would think of getting behind the wheel without strapping on the HANS. More important, no drivers have died since then.
Baseball certainly doesn't rate with auto racing on the danger scale. There's no denying that someone getting struck by a baseball — especially in the head — is still a very rare occurrence.
But it's time for baseball, at all levels, to acknowledge there's a problem that must be addressed immediately.
While everyone focuses on the big leagues, the bigger issue might be at the grassroots level. There are no mandates for protecting a pitcher's head in the college game. Heck, there's nothing in the Little League rules.
That needs to change, too. Shouldn't be a problem, either, since they don't have to worry about a player's union getting in the way.
Little League spokesman Brian McClintock said one of the organizations corporate partners, Easton, is among those working on a device that would provide additional protection for a pitcher's head. But he said Little League is more focused on teaching proper techniques, such as making sure pitchers wind up in the best fielding position as soon as they deliver the ball.
"This is a very rare occurrence when these injuries do happen," he said Friday. "Having extra protections is really something that hasn't been developed yet. ... We're absolutely open to it as long as everything is vetted properly."
While the big leaguers could set an example that filters down to the lower levels, McClintock pointed out that Little League actually mandated batting helmets before the majors did.
We don't care who does it first.
Just do it.

1. PR66 NGC. The Kaufman coin. Newcomb, part II (James G. MacAllister and Wayte Raymond, 5/1945), lot 859; John Jay Pittman Collection (David Akers, 5/1998), lot 1534.
2. PR63. Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection (Bowers and Merena, 4/1997), lot 1944.

4. Brilliant Proof. Reed Hawn Collection (Stack's, 8/1973), lot 165. (While photo quality of this appearance makes plate matching difficult, we believe it is distinct from the above specimens).
5. Proof. Smithsonian Institution.
Additional appearances
A. Brilliant Proof. World's Greatest Collection (Numismatic Gallery, 4/1945), lot 294.
B. Proof. Numismatic Gallery (1949 ANA Sale), lot 1505.
C. Proof. Paramount Rare Coin List #11 (10/1975).
The Kaufman specimen displays superb toning. A delicate blend of russet, sky-blue, violet, and greenish-gold resides on the obverse, yielding to mostly soft gold-orange and sky-blue on the reverse. Satiny devices stand out against mirrored fields as the coin is tilted just slightly beneath a light source, and an impressive strike delivers exquisite detail to the design features, none of which reveal even the slightest hint of weakness. No marks of consequence are visible on the impeccably preserved surfaces, enhancing even more the coin's outstanding eye appeal.

Tyson, a lifelong resident of Morton, says her home broadband connection — provided by a local phone cooperative — was so unreliable that she discontinued it three years ago. "It just wasn't worth it to me," she says. There are no other broadband providers in her area.
Tyson still uses the Internet at work. Her favorite sites are those that offer health information — she is particularly fond of the ones where consumers can submit questions to doctors — and advice about animals. (She's owned horses, cows and dogs through the years.)
"If you get that information off the Internet," she says, "you don't have to travel miles and pay a lot" to doctors and vets.
Once she retires, however, her Internet connection will go away. Tyson says she's not looking forward to that.
The Internet "would be the first thing that I would miss," she says, adding: "You can only get so much information off the TV."
Brenda Shaw, Morton's city manager, buys home broadband from the same telephone cooperative that Tyson dumped three years ago. Shaw says she's also had reliability problems. But since there are no other providers in her area, she puts up with it.
"We don't have a lot of choice around here," she says.
Small towns, big need
Plains City Administrator Terry Howard says he'd love to see a big carrier come into town. Given all the pent-up demand in Plains, he thinks whoever showed up would get a lot of business. But so far, there have been no takers.
Howard says he doesn't blame big carriers for not wanting to come to small towns such as Plains, allowing that they're probably not the most lucrative. Still, he wishes somebody would.
"They have their reasons, but that isn't helping us," he says.
Plains, meantime, is struggling. According to Howard, businesses won't even look at relocating here because broadband options are so limited. People who have home-based businesses are also stuck. Because the reliability of local broadband is so spotty, he says, trying to do even the most basic tasks — such as taking an online college class — can be an exercise in misery.
With nothing to shore up the local economy, the town's population is dwindling rapidly — by 100 people every 10 years or so, Howard guesses. Plains has about 1,450 residents currently.
Unless something changes, Plains will eventually become a town of "90-year-olds," he predicts.
Schooler, echoing the comments of other locals, says she hopes lawmakers won't forget about towns such as Plains and Morton when it comes to broadband.
"Every time you put a bite of beef in your mouth or a cotton T-shirt on your back, it came from rural America," Schooler says, her voice welling with pride. "We are one country. We feed you; you take care of us."

In Visual Studio 2005, we introduced the IDE Navigator. It's that window that pops up when you press Ctrl+Tab. Once the window pops up, keep holding down the Ctrl key, while you use either the arrow keys or the mouse to pick a file or tool window to activate.
It is bound to the command Window.NextDocumentWindowNav, in case it is different for you or you want to change it. I know some settings have Ctrl+Tab bound to Window.NextDocumentWindow (note the minus nav).
But you may be thinking, "Hey Sara, what about Visual Studio 2008? It is the year 2008 after all?" You know, that's a great point. I'm going to start including tips and tricks specific to Visual Studio 2008 throughout the next upcoming months, but i just have so much more of generic IDE tips and tricks to get through first.
In Visual Studio 2008, they (since I technically didn't work on 2008) did a lot of UI tweaks with the IDE Navigator, as shown below. You'll notice that there's more "real estate" (what we call the actual space in a UI dialog), so you can see more of the file path. And of course there's the preview window, which is pretty cool. (I said "oooh" when i first saw it, but i'm a little bias.)
Just a quick note in case your IDE Navigator ever gets "stuck." Back during the 2005 development cycle, I had the IDE Navigator check whether either "sticky keys" (that thing that happens when you hit the shift key 5 times in a row) is enabled or an Assistive Technology is running (e.g. a screen reader, screen magnifier – whatever asserts itself as an ATV by setting a registry key we look for). If we find this key set, we enabled the IDE to be sticky (setting our own reg key), meaning that you don't have to hold down the ctrl key to keep the dialog up. If you accidentally get the IDE Navigator stuck in this state, email me for the registry key to delete. Update 11/30/2012: Thanks to Eric Carr for posting the workaround: http://tilt.carr.no/Post/12/visual-studio-ide-navigator-stuck

BEIRUT: A Lebanese businessman kidnapped last week was released Sunday evening on Beirut's airport road, without paying the $1 million ransom his kidnappers had demanded earlier. Raja Zuheiry, the owner of a gas station near Cola, was released after three days. "I was released this evening on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, the men told me," Zuheiry said, adding that he took a taxi home from the airport. Zuheiry said that he did not know who his captors were, adding that even though the first night was difficult, "after that, things changed and I was treated with respect." Zuheiry also criticized the police's action on the night of his kidnapping and said "bullets [from the police] were flying around me and my life was endangered. If they want to stop the car they should shoot at the tires, not people's heads." Zuheiry called on the authorities to discover who was behind the kidnapping and who was responsible for the police's "shameful mistake." Following the release of their relative, the Zuheiry family issued a statement in which it thanked security bodies for the safe return of Raja. The family also thanked the security officers in Hezbollah and the Amal Movement and said that they hoped swift investigations will reveal the identity of the kidnappers.

More exciting than the men's matches on Manic Monday are the clashes scheduled in the women's draw. We discuss four of the eight in the second half of our preview on the fourth round of Wimbledon.
Sharapova vs. Lisicki: For the third time in five majors collide these two ball-bruising blondes, who met in the Wimbledon semifinals last year and in this round at the Australian Open in January. Despite a horrific serving performance in that semifinal, Sharapova somehow eased past Lisicki routinely on Centre Court as she relied on her superior experience and poise under pressure. Extended to three sets by the German in Melbourne, where both women acquitted themselves more creditably, she defeated her for the third time in less than a year by denying her opponent crucial break points when the match hung in the balance. The world #1 rose to a similar challenge in the second round last week against grass specialist Pironkova, saving triple set point in the first set with three thunderous serves before recording her 21st victory in 22 three-setters since the start of 2011. Although she has looked more vulnerable on serve than she did at Roland Garros, even hitting a double fault that bounced before the net, Sharapova has struck some of her best deliveries when she most needed them, a trend that has lasted for most of her season.
Narrowly escaping the strong-lunged Bojana Jovanovski two rounds ago, Lisicki seeks her third quarterfinal in the last four years at WImbledon. (Moreover, she now has reached the second week at four of the last five majors, a fine accomplishment by a player notorious for her inconsistency.) Not a quarterfinalist yet at any other major, she enjoys the extra velocity that the grass provides for her serve, the shot around which she constructed an otherwise raw game. The German has outserved Venus Williams in the past and can light up the radar more than virtually any woman outside the Williams sisters, including Sharapova. When she misses her first serve, though, the Venus-like drop in pace to her second serve exposes her to aggressive returners. For that reason, Lisicki's fortunes ebb and flow in direct proportion to her serving percentage. Once she lands that first strike, a wealth of options from drop shots to penetrating forehands open for her to finish points, assuming that the serve has not finished it already. Since she wins few points from neutral or defensive mode, meanwhile, opponents also have ample options in finishing points against her once they gain the upper hand. Considering the sheer power of each woman on serve and return, in addition to their flat, risky strokes, most points should end with a few brisk blows. The woman who steps inside the baseline on her own terms more often should hold a clear advantage, and Lisicki has ceded that role to the Russian in each of their three previous meetings. Nevertheless, she has moved closer to challenging the mighty champion each time, so Sharapova can expect to face sterner resistance this year and must deliver a more sustained effort than she did in her first three victories.
Serena vs. Shvedova: While one of these women hurtled past the Roland Garros runner-up for the loss of only four games, the other needed a 16-game final set to edge past the dogged Zheng. In the former position was Shvedova, who recorded a historic Golden Set by not losing a single point through the first six games against Errani. Quite the contrast was Serena's memorable march, which also featured a historic achievement in her 23 aces, a new Wimbledon record. Without those serving fireworks, she almost certainly would have suffered a third straight pre-quarterfinal exit at a major, so her explosion of elation at the end looked not only characteristic but entirely appropriate. Stung by Zheng's uncanny ability to redirect the ball with depth, Serena cannot afford to take her fellow former Wimbledon doubles champion for granted either, notwithstanding her past dominance over her.
After spending much of 2012 on the ITF circuit and at small WTA tournaments with weak draws, Shvedova suddenly has won ten matches at the last two majors. Defeating Li and winning a set from Kvitova at Roland Garros, her athleticism has translated just as effectively to the grass. In no area of her game is she clearly superior to Serena, though, and thus she will struggle to sketch coherent tactics to discomfit the former champion. As for her opponent, the narrow escape against Zheng could represent another example of her fabled survival skills or could represent an ominous sign of a stumble to come. In her last match before the resistance grows extremely challenging, Serena will want to prove that we should interpret her third-round thriller as the former.
Schiavone vs. Kvitova: On an indoor hard court in Fed Cup this spring, they engaged in a fascinating juxtaposition of unvarnished power with crafty artistry. While Kvitova's style accentuates the prevailing trend in the WTA, Schiavone personifies a bygone era when players caressed the court as often as they assaulted it. But one should not overstate the differences between the Czech rising star and the 2010 Roland Garros titlist, for both indulge in flamboyant shot-making that borders on recklessness. Whereas Schiavone punctuates her more aggressive blows with a nasal moan, Kvitova greets glad tidings in rallies with a shrill yelp. Relegated to the unexpectedly distant venue of Court 3 on this overstuffed day, the defending champion may adjust to the assignment better than the veteran who relishes the spotlight. Hardly winning a match on any court or surface for much of this season, Schiavone left no impact on the terre battue and exited her beloved tournament in Paris after just three rounds. Thus, her appearance in the second-week of Wimbledon—historically the major where she has achieved the least—has raised more than a few eyebrows at a moment when most had raised the specter of imminent retirement.
Apparently still emitting sparks from her competitive flame, Schiavone will spare no effort of imagination in the effort to fluster Kvitova, almost imperturbable for much of 2011 but rattled much more easily in 2012. Especially lethal in this regard might be her backhand slice, which slides through the grass with more bite than it does elsewhere and will force the statuesque Kvitova to create her own pace from a lower contact point than she prefers. Against Laura Robson, her subtle manipulation of pace during and between points reaped as many rewards as a series of conventional winners. All the same, most of the Wimbledon champion's losses this year have come against much more powerful opponents, from Sharapova and Venus to her compatriot Lucie Hradecka. Faced with opponent who rely more on wits than weaponry, such as Errani and Schiavone herself, Kvitova has imposed her suffocating will more successfully. Conquering the Italian on hard courts in Fed Cup and clay in Stuttgart, she can complete the trio with a grass triumph at Wimbledon.
Ivanovic vs. Azarenka: Following a most unaccustomed trajectory, the Serb's first week started when she won a third set, continued when she won a tiebreak, and culminated when she rallied from a one-set deficit to defeat a talented foe in Julia Goerges. Twice facing break point late in that tense third set, Ivanovic found first serves and forehand winners under pressure to quell the threat and preserve her momentum until she converted her match point, created by an ace. Into the second week for the third time in four majors, she has not reached a quarterfinal at the sport's four leading tournaments after winning Roland Garros more than four years ago. On Centre Court for the first time since she held the #1 ranking, the Serb will need that uncharacteristic composure to halt Azarenka and reach the top 10.
Not dropping a set through three matches against the lackluster opposition of Falconi, Oprandi, and Cepelova, the player who held the top ranking just a month ago may have regained her own composure as the spotlight has retreated from her. A semifinalist at Wimbledon last year, the Australian Open champion has not won a title since her season-starting streak of 26 victories ended in Miami. On the blue clay of Madrid, she moved past Ivanovic in straight sets but not before Ana had led by a break midway through the first set and come within a point of nullifying a double-break deficit in the second set. That theme of momentum shifts recalled the Serb's comeback in Cincinnati two years ago in a match for which Azarenka served twice. Although they did not meet until well beyond the beginning of Ivanovic's doldrums, they have split their four meetings on hard courts and clay. In their first grass meeting, Vika will hope to exploit her far more symmetrical groundstrokes on the fast court to pin her forehand-reliant opponent into her backhand corner and take time away from her. Across the net, Ana will hope to exploit her superior first-strike power on serve and return to prevent her rhythm-reliant opponent from extending their exchanges into rallies. Ventures towards the forecourt to finish points would appear a dangerous gamble in view of Azarenka's outstanding movement and skill at passing shots, but Ivanovic must accept such risks to earn her third victory over a top-10 foe this year.

27 year old man | Roswell, NM, USA | Seeking women 25-28
I like to sing in the car.
It's hard for me to describe myself, I believe actions are stronger than words so I guess that's why I find it hard to describe myself. I am a very active person. I like to enjoy life, so I love being active and not sitting around all day. I am very into athletics. I have a degree in athletic training and recently finished a masters in strength and conditioning. I'm not necessarily looking for someone to understand but someone willing to accept who I am and what I like. I think the best way to describe myself would be a jack of all trades. I good at many things but not particularly great at any one thing. I feel like life is about the experiences you get for yourself and not "taking someones word for it". This describes my hands on personality and approach to life. I am looking for someone who I can take home to my family and hold her own, my family is very strong, goofy a nd don't hold their opinions to themselves. The girl I am looking for has to be attractive, smart and can take a joke as a joke. The one big turn off is having a conversation where I'm the only one who knows what the conversation is about. One thing I like is Greek/ Roman mythology, I guess it's because I like stories. I like working out and playing sports. I do read occasionally but I don't go out looking for books to read, currently reading the hunger games after seeing the movies. I'm not big into religion but I still like learning about the different religions and learning from all their teachings. Over all I have many layers and it's hard for me to bring out the real me until I feel like I can trust someone. As for who I'm looking for I want someone who can; have a conversation with, take a joke, not afraid to say no, can have a disagreement with and work though it. I don't like quitters, but if we honestly say we gave it our best I'll be happy with the results.

University of Miami, Coral Gables, FL
I like most music, movies. The thing I like the most is going to the gym or hiking for the weekend. I like testing myself to see if I've made improvements, if they're needed, and challenge myself mentally so people can't take advantage of me.
I love going to the movies, like I said before I love stories and in our modern time movies are how we tell and share our stories. I also like pushing myself physically so I do long distance bike rides, work out and play pick up games.
My last read was a magazine for athletic training. actual book was the latest Percy Jackson book. I heard Merrill Hodge speak at a conference and I plan on picking up his book and reading it as soon as I have a chance.

3/2/2015SkyMotion is now AccuWeather? Major fail. Uninstalling immediately.
2/24/2015This isn't the expected SkyMotion app, it is an app that only directs you to 'upgrade' by installing the accuweather app.
2/24/2015Minutecast was wonderful and I would gladly pay for THAT FEATURE ONLY, not a full weather app that I don't want! Uninstalling accuweather until they bring this (used to be) great app back.
2/21/2015I loved SkyMotion. I don't want Accuweather. :(
2/20/2015This used to be a great app - 5 stars. After being updated to "AccuWeather for life" it turned into something awful - messy, distracting ads, confusing. So disappointed... Uninstalling after this review.
2/20/2015So you took away the app, asking to "upgrade" to AccuWeather. But AccuWeather had no Minute by Minute forecast. Good job guys.
2/20/2015What a load of ********. A cool app, now reduced to clutter thanks to accuweather. Thanks, guys. Uninstalling. FOREVER.
2/20/2015Was the best app for up to the minute forecast... Now they upgraded you too the full AccuWeather complete with ads, which is the reason, I got rid of AccuWeather to begin with...any good thing on Windows phone never lasts!
2/20/2015I don't like the change! Too much extra stuff bloating the app now. I wanted just the skymotion stuff not a full blown weather app. Couldn't you have kept the skymotion part functional by itself? Now I have a bloated app with a blank bar across the top that looks like it is supposed to be an add bar. ☹
2/20/2015Well it looks like accuweather just killed this app off. Thats a bloody shame.

Friend, this is for you.
It pays to visit overclockers.com
Abit Capacitors Yes, it's a problem, at least for those boards around a couple years old. Some information and advice.
We think this kind of inquiry is a really good idea, and we plan to do a lot more of this in the future.
Plowing Through Your Abit Comments Much more on this later, (later looking like tomorrow now), but there's good news and bad news.
The good news is that this doesn't seem to be a problem with much older (like BH6) or newer boards. The bad news is that for the boards in between; it is a big, big problem affecting a large percentage of those boards.
Something tells me we have a whole new field to cover in the future.
And stuff related to a fix:
"A Case of Crappy Capacitors?"
Ed Stroligo - 7/3/02
If you own an Abit board, take a look at this.
Essentially, the gentleman behind the website is saying that a rather large number of Abit boards suffer from what he believes to be aren't very good capacitors.
He believes he has figured out the problem and is offering to fix this problem for a price.
This is a new one on me; I'd like to know if it's a new one on you.
Have you had problems with any of the Abit boards listed? What has been your experience? If you have this problem, have you dealt with Abit? With this gentleman? If so, what was your experience with either?
Here is some linkage about the guy that fixes. He also has some good info about the problem.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!

Brian Burke vs. Marc Bergevin

Bergevin can't really be credited with much regarding what he has done. The preparation for the draft starts basically 2 years prior to when the draft actually takes place, so saying that Burke did it (when he took Kadri) or Bergevin (this past draft with Galch. Thrower) isn't really justified.
I think that there were far less holes for Bergevin to fill, but has done an admirable job at putting those in place. I also wonder about giving Pacioretty that much money after one good year. Hopefully for the Leafs sake, its a one year wonder, but you just never know sometimes about handing guys the big money (see results of Scott Gomez, Bobby Holik, etc.)
However, I do think that the Habs had the best draft overall. Still being able to get Brady Vail in the 4th round is astounding. Very surprised on how some guys dropped.
You also have to keep in mind that Burke was able to shed the contracts of Blake, Stajan, Mayers and Hagman. Despite what you make think of Phaneuf, that was an actually an upgrade.

Made from Moscatel grapes, this is partially fermented so it has both some bubbles and natural sweetness in the bottle.
Fresh and fruity, with delicate red fruit flavours and a lovely floral aroma.
An easy sipper, just add a rom-com.
This wine is ideal for drinking now but can be kept for up to 1 year
Extended product information
If you require further product information, including information about allergens in this wine,
Enjoy Responsibly
Helen McGinn - Daily Mail 29/06/2013
"This is worth buying just to see the extraordinary DayGlo colour." The wine is actually made from partially fermented Moscatel grapes, so it has a floral smell and a lot of natural sweetness. It's also low in alcohol content - at 5.5% - so perfect for girlie nights if you don't want a splitting hangover."
It is our third year producing this wine, although we have used Muscat for many years to be drank as a fortified wine.

Attorneys are trying to figure out the best way to choose jurors as the trial date nears for the man accused of killing Sandusky police Officer Andrew Dunn.
Kevin Randleman's trial is set for Jan. 23. Attorneys have to choose a jury from 800 registered voters whose names were selected in a special drawing last week.
Erie County Common Pleas Court Judge Tygh Tone said he's still aiming to maintain the Jan. 23 start date in the capital murder case. Randleman is accused of shooting and killing Dunn on March 19 when the officer stopped him for riding a bicycle without lights.

Ohio Created an Early Education and Development Officer Position in 2011
Social and Emotional Health, Governance/Leadership, Quality Improvement, Accountability & Evaluation
ZERO TO THREE Policy Center state updates
To coordinate state efforts to improve children's readiness for school, Ohio Governor John Kasich created an Early Education and Development Officer position within the Governor's Office of 21st Century Education in October 2011. The officer oversees the development and implementation of a comprehensive kindergarten readiness assessment process that includes academic, social and emotional, and physical health measures of readiness. He/she is also responsible for taking a number of actions to improve the overall performance of the early childhood system, such as: including outcome and performance measures within the statewide quality rating and improvement system (QRIS); ensuring all publicly funded, licensed early learning and development providers are part of the QRIS; evaluating and implementing innovative financing strategies that support high quality services; and engaging parents as resources in the development of state policies and programs. To achieve these goals, the officer l works through, and in conjunction with, the many state agencies that serve young children to break down silos and institute an outcomes-oriented approach. An Early Education and Development Innovation Committee has also been established to support the systems work. The committee advises the governor and the officer on methods to mobilize business partnerships; opportunities to bring private-sector tools and resources to early education and development; and methods to disseminate information to community and state leaders. The committee consists of five members appointed by the governor: two leaders from the business community, one from the philanthropic community, one from the research community, and one from a children's health care organization. Angel Rhodes currently serves as Early Education and Development Officer in the Governor's Office of 21st Century Education. To learn more about Ohio's plans for improving its early learning and development system, download a copy of the state's Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge application at www.ode.state.oh.us. Ohio was one of nine states that received an Early Learning Challenge Grant.Updated December 2013
