These wetlands were created to help filter stormwater runoff and provide habitat for wildlife. The former site was home to a sewer treatment plant along an important riparian forest corridor and was in need of restoration. Out of concern for the health and welfare of local streams, flora, and fauna, sixteen agency partners came together to restore this area and create the wetlands. The wetland cells treat stormwater runoff from approximately 140 acres of urban watershed and can store an estimated 10,000,000 gallons of runoff. The old sewer treatment pumphouse was repurposed into a viewing platform with a green roof. Visitors will enjoy viewing the wildlife that has been attracted to the improved habitat. In fact, the 3M Wetlands has become a "hot spot" in Missouri for bird sightings. More information on the 3M Wetlands can be found at the following links:

Hi and Bye, Sister Kept I truly understand!Christianity is VERY complicated and much of it makes no sense to me never has. Studying the Bible and Christian History made a few things better but, on balance, made the issues that I had and currently have much worse, especially with respect to the OT. Even things that Jesus supposedly said and did bother me. If there is a Creator-God, then his/her message to mankind should be simple and universally clear, I reasoned.Nevertheless, Thirty-Three years ago, I had an epiphany. I have no explanation. I didn't ask for it, nor did I see it coming. In my spirit, I'm sure it was Jesus that changed my heart, my mind and my life, even though I had no "studied" knowledge of Him. There were no Christian friends, or preachers, or books, or tracks or TV shows not even a Bible. I might have been "crazy" then but the fact is, I have been unable to "shake" what happened since.So, for 33 years, Jesus has been my "imaginary friend" as some agnostic folks would say they may be right. I must accept this as a possibility that there is no God - personal or otherwise.Even though I'm nearly 60 and have lead and taught Bible studies, I never proselytized and never liked praying aloud (I like the prayer closet - no "for show" stuff). To me, Bible-Based Christianity is so complex and self-contradictory. How could I recommend this "faith" to anyone, when I didn't understand it myself? I hate labels and tribalism and still cringe sometimes when others refer to me as a Christian. In fact, I don't know what to call myself, but I'm completely ok with my "non-label". This may sound really stupid, but if it wasn't for "My Jesus", I would have left Christianity a long time ago! However, I don't see the harm in my "delusions" as some would contend. For all the darkness in the Bible that I don't understand and a World that is apparently out of God's control or concern, Jesus is still the first "person" I greet every morning and the last thing on my mind at night. His presence is always pleasant to me, even when my house is full of kids and grandkids. Perhaps one day, His Spirit will fade from me, but for now the evidence of His Grace is still a fire shut up in my bones and this is as close to "truth" as anything in my life. For this, I am most grateful! No Dogmas or absolute Rules, just Provisional and Personal Truths that guide my daily walk - abiding, rich and full.I like this quote: If God is Truth and Love, then in Truth and Love we shall find Him. Whether we are His Creation or He is ours, does not change the Nature of the quest.Good Luck on your journey, precious Kept. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Please keep in touch!(by His) Grace & (in His) Peace, John
Thirty-Three years ago, I had an epiphany
For me there is a very real knowing in my inner knower that God is Love. . . Hes good, God is just good . . . God loves me and He is Love and He is good! . . . kept

A lot of hyped MMOs have been released in the past year with a few more yet to come. Yet some, if not all, of them have been huge disappointments to some of their fans. In an increasingly crowded market, what is there to be excited about asks our own Scary Booster. See what Scary's got to say and then shine a ray of hope in the comments.

Everyones a mmo vet these days :P
Gotta have faith scary! I've been playing mmos since 1996 onward and not once have I stopped! If a game gets boring move along onto something else, take it as a book , read through it and then move onto another one. There's also no harm to coming back when new content is released. Sounds like gamers like us scary need a mmo with a long life span and one that offers endless amounts of fun that doesn't end, for me that's planetside 2 because it has tons of action and group play, tons of stuff. Gw2 is another amazing game better then any p2p game out, and I am still having a blast playing it.
Anyhow have faith and don't go to the dark side of consoles, nothing is really there, there are some good games I know I got a ps3 but pc is the only way to go!
Stick in there scary!

Hype (noun)
• Build worlds, not parks
• Build systems, not gimmiks
• Spend your frikkin' time and money on REAL content, one-time content doesn't cut it
• The minute you start to think about spending wads of cash on massive voice overs and cut scenes, smack yourself in the face
• Learn from UO, SWG and other sandbox games - NOT WoW
• Design for LONG TERM success NOT box sales
• Ignore everything and pretend your dev awesomeness will carry over and create the next best themepark since sliced bread

Thing is sandbox is not the way to go, it just won't sell. For people like us vets yeah it'll sell well but the issue is the game will face similar issues then what most wow clones faced , they need to make a game that's like the old EQ, that game was a world period, he'll you could swim clear to other areas or continents , and then get eaten by a shark and loose your corpse lol , what needs to happen is they need to bring back the hardcore elements to mmorpg, because way back when a mmorpg was a advanced rpg that required people to play the game with, soloing did not exists , or was very hard too. Today's games are too into your story ect and focus mostly on solo content we cant have that anymore if we want this genre to survive and thrive, we need a harsh death system and not just quests. It worlds that require grouping.

I think the most exciting games are yet to come for those of us who can't wait until there is more than just the standard themepark MMO garbage the industry has been spewing out for the last eight years. Games like The Repopulation, Arch Age, the new Day Z mmo in the works and others that are willing to take a chance on emergent gameplay rather than scripted, linear amusement park MMO's have me very much looking forward to the future.
It's time for player and community driven MMO gaming to come back. Themeparks have few places left to go. Look at TSW and GW2. Those two games have pushed thempark to it's ultimate expression (more or less), and now we need to make old things new again by starting to bring sandbox gaming, horizontal progression, emergent gameplay, community, non-combat features, deep crafting and other much more interesting adventures. Give me a deep game I can spend a couple years playing again. I don't want another 2-3 month passing fancy. Bring back virtual worlds.
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.

Players come for the game, but they stay for the people- Most Devs have forgotten this.
As if the forums aren't depressing enough, we now have official doomsaying pieces like this?
The future has plenty of releases and re-releases to look forwards to for all playstyles, it's really no different then it's always been.
DF2, Wildstar, The Repop, PS2, FFXIV 2, B&S, Archeage... all these games will be attacked and championed with gusto and venom in the upcoming months. Just because there isn't massive attention on them now dosen't mean anything. Some games just bloom late on the mass radar (remember Rift?)
If anything GW2 has shown us that there is indeed a future for the themepark, and other games will hopefully show us a future of other playstyles to stand beside that.

Pure theme park MMOs won't work anymore! This is a lesson we all learned after TOR, TERA, RIFT, AION, WAR, TSW etc.
The future of MMORPGS lies in sandbox MMOs or theme parks with sandbox aspects. The more game depth the longer will it be played. Look at UO. One of the most complex games of all times and is still on the market after 15 years. It got me hooked for about 10 years without engame content, without a single quest, without even a reasonable PvE part.
Give players something to do other than replaying some bullshit linear premade so called "content".

I'd like to see your evidence for why sandbox games won't sell. You can't say "look at the market", because the fact remains that there hasn't even been an attempt at a AAA sandbox game since Star Wars Galaxies. WoW's success took over the whole genre. They didn't stop making virtual world games because no one wanted them. They stopped making them because they wanted to copy WoW's success. Most people don't even understand that one of the main reason WoW was a success at all was that you could run it on just about any computer. Without that accessibility, it wouldnt have been squat. The few sandbox games that have come out were indy games that didn't even make it on the radar for people who don't hang out on sites like this one.
I'm a perfect example of why there is a market for sandbox games. I came to MMO's from the shooter genre for years as a hardcore clan match player in games like Quake 1, 2, 3, Unreal Tournament, Tribes, Counterstrike, etc. I ran into Star Wars Galaxies at the store one day, and decided to check it out.
The moment I logged my new character into the game, I was met by another higher level character who noticed I was a noob, and offered to take me hunting to get some XP and loot. I was immediately immersed in what felt to me like a living breathing world where the choice was mine as to what I wanted to do. I didn't choose to the the "hero" type player right away either. I became a Bio Engineer, and did science. I loved it.
What we have now is a chicken end egg problem. Most of the people who came to the genre came here with WoW. That's just a fact. They never had the joy of playing, what was back then, an amazing community-driven sandbox or truly hardcore MMO where you had to figure things out on your own, or find others to help guide you.
As for what will sell, that is not your call, and I also believe that expecting every MMO that comes along to compete with WoW's numbers is ludicrous. Look how Day Z took off like crazy. Was it a niche? Yup, and the whole gaming industry was shocked to see it take off like it did. So much so that a full Day Z game is being made now. Emergent gameplay is simply more engaging and interesting. Games like WoW, Rift, SWTOR, GW2, etc feel like Farmville by comparison.
We have a much larger and diverse market now, and if a game like EVE can thrive after all these years, there is a case for other "niche" games. In fact I believe niche games will become the norm in this industry. MMO develpers are going to learn to get and keep smaller audiences for longer periods of time and differentiate their games from others. A growing number of people are tired of also-ran MMO games that are only a little different than WoW.
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.
How about mmo on consoles, that will bring much life back into the mmo world, in the mean time try some of these things out. Fishing, hinting, riding bikes, hanging out with friends and family, maybe get a girlfriend or 2 or 3 all at the same time, live a little bro, you take on something else and these games won't get old so quick. We got a bunch of pukes out here that take two weeks off of work and lvl up to 80 by day one, that's all they do and when they are done they are like now what? So they complain about bordem, how about just unplug the pc and live a little.

EQ is the prime example of a great MMO. There were no dotted lines pointing you to the next quest part. There were areas that you could not go without completing key quests. There were hell levels where it would take 3 times longer to progress. Epic corpse runs with decay. Real loot for raids. There was an actual feeling of accomplishment for leveling or having a good successful group. These new themeparks are too easy... I think it was 2 days for the first GW2 lvl 80. In EQ I played hardcore for 2-3 years and casually for another 2-3 years and still was not Max level. This was mostly because they kept raising the cap, but it was always fun getting there. New content and expansions, one of the most complex faction systems, actual dungeon crawls where mobs respawn behind you this is what makes a great game. Leaving the player with a story to tell, not just how fast they got to Max level.

Today's gamers wouldn't put up with some of these systems for two seconds. Corpse runs were NOT fun. Running from a-holes training you was NOT fun. Farming rats outside Qeynos for hours and running to the guards for safety was NOT fun. We put up with it because the MMO genre was new and different and EQ was pretty much the only game in town.( Yeah , I know, UO and AC but they were equally hardcore and unforgiving).

The future is dark for MMO's but not so much because of boredom but because of shrinking investment money. When the business analyst declared SWTOR a failure the number of MMO failures has grown and the number of MMO's being well funded has dropped dramatically. Why do you think there is so much interest in Kickstarter? The investors are going after the mobile market. MMOs are passe.
I agree with what many posters (not here) have said - the MMO market is too fragmented for another WOW and that is what investors want. Too many gamers think that MMOs are developed by gamers for gamers. Well, in a sense they are. However, the developers are paid by investors. What investor does not think about returns?
My opinion is that the number of potential MMO players has been reached thus there will no longer be any investor happy growth in the genre. In addition, the age of the average full-time MMO player has gone up. The youngsters are playing consoles, mobile games, action games and League of Legend type games. Sure there are young people joining MMOs but most of them are in the three month club - play for three months (or less) and then quit. I have two teenage sons in that group. Once again - investors aren't looking for old people - they want young people in the games.
I think the future is darker than the OP wants to believe. You are starting to see games being turned off faster and faster and this will continue. More MMOs will be discontinued in betas. I can only hope that funding remains available for the coming MMOs.

A friend of mine who played SWG thought it was horrible because he said he felt like he was working a second job that he wasn't getting paid for. Cue EQ and suddenly he likes mmo's.
A coworker played skyrim and didn't get past the first few bits because he said he needed more guidance. It was too free.
I think it's silly to assume that just because a group feel that one type of "thing" is superior that sooner or later everyone will jump on board.
There's a lot of "superior' media out there in terms of construction, composition, layers of thuoht put into it but much of it falls into niche groups of people because it just doesn't appeal to larger groups of people.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Chocobi killer heels I got these because it's on sale, but I paid too much for the custom tax and it took 3 weeks to arrived. I bought the nude in 7.5, like my other JC's the size is perfect and the craftsmanship. at first I was intimidated by the heel height, I put it on adjust every single strap and waaalaaaa the next thing happen is my mom asking me why the heck I'm wearing heels while doing my chores. great deal, thank you! 1.18.2013

Rated 5 out of 5Â by dani86 WOW!!!!!!!!!! These shoes are knock-you-out, slap-your-mama awesome! I got the 'tan', which is really 'nude,' in my usual size 6 and they fit great right out of the box. I didn't need to adjust a single strap. At first the heel looked intimidating but I feel incredibly stable walking around in them. It must be all of the straps doing their job. The suede is lovely and felt fine out of the box; no break-in period required. These shoes are pretty crazy-looking (in a good way) but are amazingly comfortable. I'm in love... 12.27.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Alisireba I finally got it! Yea!!! Love 'em!!! :) Keepers! When I received these, I immediately fell N love w/them! I was ooohing & ahhhing!So beautiful & unique! Then I put 'em on & tried 2 walk N them....I felt like I was constantly "pitched" forward---2 counteract,I was leaning backward, but this was sooo uncomfortable! In desperation, [I REALLY LOVE THESE!] I re-read description & reviews. Put 'em back on & re-buckled every buckle from toes up to specifically fit my feet....dilemna solved! Now like they were made 4 me! If U own a pair of these awesome wedges, U can honestly say U have something not every1 else has [or is wearing]. Happy Birthday 2 me from me from Free People!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Byrdie Wonderful Wedges! A show stopper! Not the most comfortable shoes, but worth it. I love the antique gold buckles. They are subtle and don't take away from all the features of the shoe. They are made very well. The shoes are pretty sturdy and you won't feel like you'll topple over. They're just a bit on the small side size wise. Sexy shoes! 11.25.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Tami ive waited for this! Love love love the shoes.....i did order after reading some reviews a 7.5 instead of a 7 which i normally wear....and it works. they are adjustable so it is great. 10.29.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Caligirl2012 Elongates! I bought the tan Rockley's and they r beautiful. They elongate ur legs and are very sexy. They fit true to size and are tall.

It's been 2 years since our wee son passed away. I spent the first 6 months an emotional wreck, then began to function at about 1/2 speed. More recently, I've been in a much happier place (phew!).
My DH is really struggling though - he's told me that he's struggling with our baby's death & has been crying when he's by himself. He won't talk to me about how he's feeling and instead is burying himself in work & it feels as though he's pushing me out of his life.
Ladies, have you experienced a similar delayed grief response from your DHs? How did you cope?????

Tuesday, May 21, 2013
Pinewood Preparatory School, on Monday, announced Andy Morgan as its new Athletic Director.
Morgan and his family will be moving to Summerville from Virginia in July when he will take the reins of Pinewood's athletic department. Morgan replaces Nancy Beatty who has accepted a new position as Athletic Director at Providence Day School in Charlotte.
Morgan comes to Pinewood from Ware Academy, where he has spent the past nine years as their athletic director and a coach, as well as a physical education and health teacher. Prior to his near decade at Ware, Morgan was a teacher, coach, and an athletic director at Highland School. He is a native of Virginia and a graduate of High Point University in North Carolina.
While at Ware Academy, Morgan has led a substantial expansion of their athletic program, as well as chaired committees to raise funds and renovate their facilities. He has organized tournaments for teams and chairs their annual golf tournament every year. He has also been instrumental in developing student leadership and school sponsorship programs while recruiting, hiring, and supervising their coaching staff.
As a coach at Ware Academy, Morgan has had great championship success in middle school girls' soccer, basketball, and lacrosse. At Highland, he coached high school basketball and was twice named conference coach of the year.
One of his current board members said, "Andy has the ability to understand each child and reach them. Kids at Ware absolutely revere him. Losing him will negatively affect our enrollment."
His current Head of School said, "Andy is very good about listening to parents. His teaching colleagues know how much he cares. Andy has a keen sense of how to balance what is good for the individual, the school, and the athletic program."
At Pinewood, Morgan will be charged with leading Pinewood's commitment to excellence in athletics for all student-athletes in all sports. Major priorities in his first year will include a focus on strengthening the school's junior varsity and middle school programs and helping to create additional opportunities for its lower school students. He will also teach in the physical education department.
Accompanying Morgan on his move to Summerville will be his wife, Nicolle, and their children, Briland (age 6) and Olive (age 3).

Would you want Siri to be 'always listening' for your voice commands? [Poll]
Both the upcoming Xbox One from Microsoft and Moto X from Google feature "always listening" functionality for their voice-controlled, natural language interfaces. So what about Apple and Siri? Should the next iPhone and iPads have the microphone that you can also choose to turn on and set to perpetually listen and process, and keep ready for everything and anything we say, waiting to key onto a command phrase that signals we want to use it - "Okay, Google Now!" - er... - "hey Siri!"?
There's a power concerns, of course. Xbox One is plugged in and therefore has no battery life to worry about, but the iPhone or iPad, like the Moto X, would absolutely have to do everything it can to conserve power. Beyond the technical issues, however, are privacy concerns. The news is already filled with stories of governments and companies allegedly spying on our communications, do we really trust them with constantly enabled mics? And what about simple system errors? I've had bits of conversation accidentally sent to me from Google Glass glitches, imagine the potential for mistakes with mainstream systems?
On the flip side, "always listening" can also be incredibly convenient. When your hands are full, or your device is out of reach, being able to command it with words alone is beyond useful. Likewise, Siri is already behind Google Now when it comes to functionality, including localized voice parsing, predictive responses, and more, and not doing "always listening" would put it one more feature down on the parity list.
Do you think the upcoming iOS 7 on the rumored iPhone 5s should start playing catch up? Apple's offered exclusive new features on hardware before, so would an extra processing core for onboard and persistent voice processing be interesting to you? Would you want your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad mic to be flipped on all the time, and Siri to be "always listening" for your commands?

Would you want Siri to be 'always listening' for your voice commands? [Poll]
Who says you need to pick it up?
Have you ever actually used Siri to send a message? You have the opportunity to review it before agreeing to send, either visually or aurally. Not sure why this would change. One-day maybe when the technology has matured. Localizing Siri would help substantially with some of the problems I experience with it now though. One can only hope this will be released sooner than later.
Sent from the iMore App
Hey, why not? Apple's been playing catch up for a few years now so, what makes the "always listening" feature any different? Go ahead Apple, indulge.
I would love it so long as there is little impact on battery and I can disable it with a simple toggle at any time I so desire. Only then is that allowed.
I'd prefer if I had to say the name of the device. "iPad what time is it?", "iPhone what time is it?".
Lol, yeah I actually changed my wake up command on my Note 2 to "help me Jarvis." Idk if I feel less stupid than saying "hello Galaxy" but maybe just a little closer to Tony Stark.
Since Siri is only one button push away from use, it's rather pointless to have Siri "always on", "listening" and waiting for you to speak some command. Google has already done that with the MotoX. To have that in iOS 7 (or any other version of iOS) amounts to following what the competition has already done, rather than lead with some new innovation that the competition isn't already doing. If Apple every does this, I will turn it off. If Apple doesn't allow it to be turned off, this will eventually push me away from the platform. I have little interest in computer automation. I need to be the one in control, pushing buttons, and able to disable anything I don't want to use.
I think it would be stupid for Apple not to follow this trend.
The point is to be able to activate the feature without using your hands at all, which is the natural direction voice recognition in computing needs to go and is heading.
If it's activated by your voice instead of "pushing a button", how are you not the one in control? How is it any different aside from being easier?
It seems like Apple doesnt innovate anymore. I feel like their trying to play catch up and copy.
Blackberry is doing better in other countries actually. Just not in the U.S. It's Apple and Android thats doind well here. And actually, Apple has copied for a while now and im waiting for them to get sued.
Give Blackberry time, its slowly coming back. The Blackberry 10 os just came out not to long ago. What phone did you use before Apple?
It is in Canada and other countries. LIke i said, Just not in the U.S. except for the bussiness users.
Actually they innovate and you act like this is already a feature, a done deal.
I don't think you understand how there Moto X works Renee, It has a low power single core CPU dedicated to always on which means there is no battery loss. Apple could do it with an A7 system, a dual core main and a single core CPYU for Siri.
I do indeed understand how it works, but if you say no battery loss, you don't understand how physics works. Low power doesn't equal no power, which is why it isn't called "no power single core". Everything has a price, especially on a phone where every milliamp and millimeter count, Google/Moto is just being as smart as possible about how they pay it.
And yes, Apple could do the same, which is what I said in the article.
Rene, you failed to write in your article the most important feature. This is a feature that can be turned on or off in settings. This is a great feature while driving in your car. Not even having to push one button to do just about anything on your phone. Send a text message or E-Mail. The list is endless. Every comment was all the same thing, "only if I could turn it on or off". Going for a long drive, turn it on, laying in bed, turn it on. This feature will be added to the Android OS with Google Now. This feature would be great on the iPhone. It is just a real safe way to use the Smart Phone. For those who are worried about copying, who cares, everyone copies from everyone. If you don't believe that then you probably believe in the boogy man. Just My Opinion.
Crap sorry missed that in the article.
If it can go a full 24 hours on a single charge with mixed/moderate use vs maybe 25 if not, is it really worth turning off? Is there a difference in usage between no battery loss and minimal/inconsequential battery loss? If you really need to conserve battery that badly and don't have access to a charger, you can still turn it off.
I don't see battery concerns or privacy concerns, since it isn't recording you or sending your activity anywhere and if the stated battery life of 24 hours holds up, the battery drain would be so low as to be inconsequential. These are as much non-issues for the Moto X as they would presumably be for Apple (assuming they used the same approach or achieved the same effect).
Was Jean-Luc Picard worried about privacy issues with his computer? Did Scotty look to *enable* the listening function when he tried talking to a Macintosh computer in 1987? No. They were not pansies. And neither are you. Always on.
Fantasy computers are not the same thing of course. The fact that the kind of human computer interaction in Star Trek etc. doesn't actually work in real life is why we will never have such computers. That's why voice is a bit of a dead end until a computer can think like a person, and it's patently impossible for a computer to think like a person and always will be. Sorry to burst your fantasy bubble.
I think that is a little far fetched to say we will never have a computer that will do this. Heck, based on functionality, the Star Trek computers don't do much more in fantasy for the device they are tied to (fly the ship, querry information, make tea Earl Grey hot with a twist of kemon) than phones do (play a song, querry information, open an app). Voice control is just now in its infancy and funny enough, mobile is where it is taking off, not desktop. And, mobile is where it is even tougher to implement because of hardware, battery, and size constraints. Smartphones have come a long way in the last seven years when we started getting phones that could barely work as MP3 players as a secondary feature. If we could look five more years in the future I think we would be amazed and the best is yet to come.
I am not an English speaker, so I have never been able to use Siri, nor I probably ever will. So this question is irrelevant to me. I could use Google Now, since it supports a wide range of languages and Google announced they are comitted to bringing their services, and of course Android, to the reach of every person on the planet. The problem is, I do not want to use Android or Android hardware. Gotta wait what MS/Nokia combo will bring to the table. They have told they introduce voice-based solutions once the technology improves sufficiently from the current state of the art, which MS deems unsatisfactory. I don't know if that is indeed the case today, since I have never used one. Though more and more people now have: A local journalist praised in her review of Google Now that the ad company has made scifi reality: Like in Star Trek, a phone now understands speech! She mourned that traditional tech companies do not offer such innovations but rather concentrate on phone weight and screen size and other trivialities, and that it takes a user-oriented ad company to think out of the box -- what is truly possible today. Apple too could have inspired her similarly, but chose not to.
I'm hoping we will eventually see it to where not only does it hear and understand my commands, but it recognizes my voice as a security feature, even with just the wake up command.
It does work on-device for actions that are done on the device, like launch an app or play an mp3 file from the phone. Queries that search the internet are obviously transmitted back to a server, just like Siri, MS' TellMe or any other voice recognition.
There's an app called Heard that's always listening or can be if you leave it on. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/heard/id615420427?mt=8&at=10l3Vy&ct=d_im
That's not an always listening Siri by any means but it's interesting. I'd imagine Apple would have to get around with Siri needing data. Always listening but always using data? We need a localized Siri first.
Well you see there is a training session so it knows your voice. Motorola were not stupid when they implemented this.
I think that it would be awesome that if I'm talking to Siri on the lockscreen then I'll keep listening until I unlock my phone. Most of the time I find myself asking the iPhone something while doing other stuff and then I need to come back to the desk and press the home button to ask other stuff like sending a new message. It would be awesome if it can just stays on.
I have a 2013 Samsung TV. It was not long before I turned off both gestures and voice because they more often worked when they shouldn't have and didn't work when they should. I do NOT want motion or voice on all the time. Love the TV as a screen, hate the half-baked features. Apple has a knack for introducing features once they will work well and not until. Google Now is a known battery eater in any event.
I've read a number of reviews that all state that Google Now eats up battery life. Only works when you activate it? My understanding is that it is tracking everywhere you go, not that I have used it personally, and that is a big part of the battery drain. So it is more "Google If" then "Google Now", "If" being if you turn it on. My iPhone 5 will go all the way down to zero if I let it and then shut down. Your friend needs to call Apple.
I have heard that you can turn off things like location tracking — or whatever it is called — with Google Now but that kills part of its benefits. I know my iPhone seems to track me because I can locate it from my computer and if Siri got me directions and I turn the phone off, it automatically comes on and starts telling me what to do if I walk out of the house toward my car (move sufficiently).
Location Services use battery life, not Google Now specifically, although this is a big part of what makes Google Now so useful. Fortunately, it is mitigated drastically by 4.3 which allows WiFi Location based tracking even if turned off so you don't have GPS pinging as often. And it is very easy to disable if so desired.
Moto X optimizes the battery usage by having a dedicated core for the voice recognition features. In earlier handsets the battery drain from Now was significant, but now it runs fairly light unless you're actively using GPS navigation.
I'd have to see and hold the Moto X before having an opinion. I would only buy a device from the maker of the OS so Nexus and now the MX would be about all I would consider so far as Android goes. This isn't fair but I saw a Moto X commercial with a guy in bed talking to his phone without touching it. All I could imagine is someone talking in their sleep and driving the poor phone nuts, and further if you could buy things through voice what outlandish things could happen. Hardly likely, but that's where my mind went.
I have a Samsung Smart TV and I had to turn off the gesture and voice commands because things kept popping up on the screen when I didn't want them and then the thing wouldn't work when I did want it to (awesome screen which is what I bought it for). For now I'll stick to manually activating devices until this sort of thing is sorted out. One thing I do know, I want a very clear retina-like screen and I won't buy anything from anyone that doesn't have that.
I could go with a dumber phone and even the "phablets" are too small for me to really engage with. I use my iPad most when I am not using my Mac Pro.
I've heard that females in particular have a hard time getting Siri to understand them. My daughter-in-law is a big Apple fan who speaks very clearly and can't get anywhere with Siri. Personally I have no problems getting Siri to understand me and it takes some experimentation to get "her" to do what I want. Voice is great for certain things such as asking, "How did the Tigers do?" instead of digging up the appropriate app and then navigating to the answer. There is promise for this sort of thing, but in many ways it is still just promise.
It isn't recording your voice or piping your activities anywhere - its listening for a hotword/phrase specifically from your voice in order to activate Google Now. Where is the privacy violation? Do you think your phone has an interest in hearing "everything going on" in your bedroom?
Anyone who has a "privacy concern" over the Moto X activation feature is grossly misinformed on what "privacy" actually means.
The question is not if apple should implement it, its when. This is the future, to have one supercomputer always listening and acting/reacting to the user. Apple is just waiting for their tech to catch up (i.e. dump Nuance and try to perfect the tech), and for the majority of the public to be cool it or just accept it as inevitable.
In my humble opinion, in this day and age, the ONLY way to protect your privacy is to live off the grid. That means no smart phone (not even cell phone) and no internet. As long as you have a smart device, and as long as you are on Facebook, Instagram, et al (including this on-line forum), you lose your privacy. All of your carriers, Apple, Google, and the apps on your devices are tracking you and collecting your data. If you believe you have your privacy simply by keeping Siri from listening actively, you probably also believe there is a Santa Claus. ;)
People are using "privacy concerns" to include the availability of any information even remotely related to you, no matter how inconsequential, being stored anywhere and used for any purpose, even if beneficial. Using this definition, you can't even live without a privacy concern since there would be a public record of your birth.
What privacy should mean is the distribution of information about you to a person or group of people used in a way that you didn't authorize or allow. Google Now, Moto X, and a potential Siri feature that listens for your command does not violate privacy.
Google gives you complete insight into and control over all of the data you provide it, and actively uses that information to improve your experience with its services.
"Privacy concerns" as a reason to hold back the pace of technological innovation is a rather asinine reason to do so. You have full control over what you do or do not share over the internet and, in the case of Google and the Moto X in question, full control over what information Google has about you, and its privacy policy is crystal clear on how it uses that information.
There is no privacy concern with the Moto X and there wouldn't be one with Siri if it copied this feature from Google Now. Once again, the "privacy concerns" are being totally overblown.
I honestly find the always on feature to be a 'gimmick' than an actual useful feature I'd use. The iPhone home button is so easy to access and long-press that I can do it blindfolded and distracted, vs. an Android phone that uses a home button softkey that is more difficult to access eyes-free (vs. a physical button you can easily feel) which is needed to activate Googel voice search, this is assuming on a phone using Google's recommendations for button layout (cough *Samsung* cough). I cannot think of a situation I've actually been in where I actually needed hands free Siri activation.
Honestly, I don't see the value of Apple chasing niche-y feature sets in this case. It's not their MO.
I've tried this last year in a jailbreak app called "handsfree." It worked pretty well but it had its quirks. One feature was that you could change the activation name (ie Siri) to anything you wanted. The problem I found was that, inevitably, in a normal conversation with someone, my phone would hear something that sounded like whatever my activation word was and Siri would come on. After awhile, this became annoying and I had to disable the feature. I presume this would work best when you were in a car by yourself, when there is no conversation, and you just want to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. You can ask for directions, request certain music, launch apps, search for a contact name, etc, just by speaking your activation word and then speaking your command. Overall, somewhat limited in its usefulness due to unpredictable Siri activation.
Your poll asked the wrong question. The proper question is: would you want your device to always be listening for your voice commands. The device. Not Siri.
I would like the always-on feature to initially only process oral instructions locally, on the device, not through a server connection.
I would be able to ask, for example, for a music selection from my library, with absolutely no connection outside the device -- just as iPod Touch devices could before the involvement of Siri.
If I wanted Siri, I would speak aloud my request for Siri, and that capability would be called up, just like any other app capable of being summoned orally. I should be able to enable security for all such app activations, ranging from the simple, to the stringent, according to how I set the security parameters.
Always listening device, yes, but not able to connect with the outside world without my say-so, involving variable levels of security. The exception would be calls for assistance, such as 9-1-1.
I would love for Siri to be able to be activated by voice. I have a GPS that is activated by saying "Voice Command" and then you proceed with your request. The command "voice command" can be changed to almost anything that you want to. I would love to have this in the new iOS but with the ability to turn it off if it's a power issue. This would also be a nice feature to have in the future with wearable technology such as iWatch. That way you don't have to pull the phone out of your pocket to push the button to activate Siri.
Siri can already be ready to listen when you pick up the phone to your ear. I use Siri a lot, I mean I'll catch my self actually long-holding the home button even though I just want to unlock the phone (yes, android fans, you can access Siri without "slide to unlock", without lighting up the screen, we can just put it up to our ear even without pushing the button). Anyway, but I do prefer to push the button before I ask for a command. So, NO, I dont care for always listen feature.
Why not have it work like so many other Apple features work? That is, to have Siri always listening whenever the phone is plugged in. One of its main benefits is when driving, in which case most people have their phones plugged in anyway to sate the power-hungry GPS apps. At home with the phone is in its dock, you could tell Siri to set or snooze the alarm, for example.

Counting the Omer
The days between Passover and Shavuot are considered a time of mourning.
By Rabbi Ronald H. Isaacs
We Also Recommend
Excerpted with permission from Every Person's Guide to Shavuot (Jason Aronson, Inc).
The special period between Passover and Shavuot is called sefirah, meaning "counting." The name is derived from the practice of counting the omer, which is observed from the night of the second seder of Passover until the eve of Shavuot. The counting of seven weeks from the 16th day of Nisan (i.e., the second day of Passover), on which the omer offering of the new barley crop was brought to the Temple, until Shavuot, serves to connect the anniversary of the exodus from Egypt with the festival that commemorates the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai.
Tradition has it that it was announced to the Israelites in Egypt that the Torah would be given to them 50 days after the exodus. As soon as they were liberated, they were so eager for the arrival of the promised day that they began to count the days, saying each time, "Now we have one day less to wait for the giving of the Torah."
Thus, it is explained, the Torah prescribes that the days from Passover to Shavuot are to be counted, symbolizing the eagerness with which the Torah was received by the Israelites. In a similar vein, Maimonides points out that the counting of the omerbetween the anniversary of the liberation from Egypt and the anniversary of the Torah gift is suggestive of one who expects his or her most intimate friend on a certain day. That person counts the days, and even the hours.
The period of the counting of the omer between the two spring festivals of Passover and Shavuot has long been observed through certain restraints, because many massacres recorded in Jewish history purportedly took place in the spring months, beginning with the martyrdom of Rabbi Akiva and his students and continuing through the three Crusades (1096-1192).
Another reason for sadness has been added in modern times. While the crematoria and gas chambers of the Nazis operated all year round, some notable tragic events took place in the period of the counting of the omer. The Israeli Parliament fixed the 27th day of Nisan as a Memorial Day for those slaughtered by the Nazis during World War II. In addition, the day before Israel Independence Day is called Yom Hazikaron [Memorial Day]for those who died in the War of Liberation. The last great deportation to the gas chambers, that of the Hungarian Jews, took place during the period of the counting of the omer.

English Opening

Grid List
A Complete Repertoire for White
It is easy to understand why the English Opening is very popular at all levels, from club player up to Grandmaster level. The variations are less forcing and superior chess skill is required to outwit your opponents in the middlegame. In the English, white plays 1.c4 and fianchettos the white kings bishop to g2. Like all good chess openings, this fights for control of the centre and posts the 'English Bishop' on the long diagonal g2-a8. Many people view the opening as rather dull, but this is a misnomer - in fact, there are many sharp pawn sacrifices and attacking lines which have been found in recent times which give the opening some bite. The games in this DVD will provide with exactly that - the armoury to play the English Opening as white with confidence! Includes all of black's main responses to the English Opening 1.c4:
ABC of the English Opening - Lorin D'Costa
Regular Price: $36.95
Our Price: $33.95
This DVD by Lubomir Ftacnik deals with the Hedgehog structure and its phenomenal potential for generating active counterplay with Black. The appeal of elastic piece development around a dynamic pawn structure has helped to spread this concept to many other openings. The author has consciously limited his survey to the English Hedgehog with an emphasis on the challenges Black faces following the centralisation of White's queen after 1.c4 c5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nc3 e6 4.g3 b6 5.Bg2 Bb7 6.0-0 Be7 7.d4 cxd4 8.Qxd4. While Black will have to survive various challenges to his position, as the aggressor enjoys a slight advantage in development and has great freedom of movement for his pieces, once the defender manages to fend off direct aggression, his prospects are usually quite promising.
The English Hedgehog Defence - Lubomir Ftacnik
Regular Price: $36.95
Our Price: $33.95
The English Opening with 1.c4 is one of the most subtle yet combative means of starting a chess game which has found favor with many of the great players in history.
English Opening - Nigel Davies
Regular Price: $39.95
Our Price: $36.95
With the move 1.c4, you can avoid some of the openings and lines to be feared after 1.d4. Following 1.c4 e5 – this move order is also called reversed Sicilian.
English 1. c4 e5
Regular Price: $33.95
Our Price: $30.95
On this DVD Bologan recommends 1...c5 with very strict prescriptions on what to do on different white move orders. This discipline will help Black to have more clear ideas and plans against the white "playing mood".

Comments On Feb 18, 2015:I started running this tire with the Tubless system about six months ago.
I wanted a tire that was extremely puncture resistant. Last year at the Desert 100 race I got a hole in my Pirelli and got a flat. I finished because it was near the end of the race and the Tubless kept the tire locked on the rim. The Desert 100 is hard on tires.
I knew this tire would be stiff because it's designed for heavy dual sport bikes, not a light KTM 200. It's crazy stiff! Best results are running very low psi, around 2-3. It's wearing very well, has actually softened up with use. It does deflect more off of rocks and roots than my soft Pirelli did.
Bottom line, this tire is bombproof and wears very well. I have hammered this tire hard and nothing fazes it. It's a bit of a compromise but for me it's worth it to avoid a DNF.
Additional Comments On Apr 13, 2015:Update, raced the Desert 100 yesterday running this tire. Finished 4th in the 200 class. The conditions were brutal, dusty with lots of rocks, slammed a lot riding blind at times. This tire held up well, it still looked new at the end of the race! It's the same tire I mounted up almost 12 months ago. Again it deflects a little more than a soft tire but I believe the trade off is worth it. I ran it with 6 psi using the Tubless system.

Comments On Dec 26, 2014:I have been running Tubliss front and rear for about 5 years and was constantly getting punctured tires on my front for the first two years. Then I tried the Dunlop 908. My punctures went down from about 6 a year to about one every other year. I have run this tire ever since and don't have any plans to switch because of the toughness. I run the pressure at about 4-5 psi and the traction is good, not great, but good enough and I NEVER worry about getting a flat when charging hard through rocky sections etc.

Comments On Sep 21, 2014:I have a love / hate relationship with this (front) tire. Without a doubt this is the best offroad tire for a big ADV bike, but on the road it's horrible. At higher PSI the tire felt very unsettled and wanted to follow every crack in the road. At lower PSI it's better, but low PSI, highway speeds and long distances are a bad combo.

Comments On Aug 30, 2013:One of the few choices for the rear of a big bike like a KTM 990. Great in the mud, seems to be holding up well to a lot of pavement. Only slight downside is fairly noisy on the pavement but no tire does everything perfectly.

Comments On Jun 07, 2013:The 908 rear is great, but he 908 front is terrible on the road. I get a predictable head-shake right about 75-80mph. The tire just doesn't want to track straight. I used Michelin's T63 and Pirelli's MT21. Both are more stable at the higher speeds, but are not as aggressive as I would like on the dirt.

Ok, the first thing I want to talk about is that we need to get away from a legal idea of salvation.
The problem is in thinking that christianity leads us into a courtroom and God sits there as our judge. Then, we would have faith in Jesus and make a deal - we give God this faith in Jesus and in turn he grants us freedom.Instead I believe the whole matter is not about a legality, punishment, reward, etc, instead the whole thing describes something ontological, something that pertains to our whole life and being.
What I mean is this, basically we go by thinking that without faith we cannot get saved. OK. But there is a problem, what about the handicapped, the aborted babies, children who die as sucklings, those who had a stroke and cannot get ministered to anymore, the really mad, those who grieve too much and hence can't trust God, those who lived before Christ, those who lived after Christ but were living far away so no missionaries reached them, those whom the church didn't teach fairly and who couldn't trust the church and its message, etc... what about all these people? They obviously can't trade their faith into salvation.
I would suggest that the more sensible approach to salvation is not to see it as a legal matter but as an ontological matter. That means, salvation is something that comes to our human existence. Now when a man lies dying in the woods because he ate a poisoned mushroom or something needs salvation. Then another human must come who takes this man and carries him out of the woods and brings him to a hospital in a car or something.
The dying man can't do anything in this,
That view in fact isn't so new. The eastern orthodox church has held a similar view for the centuries - they call it the hospital view of salvation,
The world as we see it in the sciences cannot exist like it does now, forever. Our suns will burn out, there is entropy everywhere.
The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Sacrifice made, "it is finished" [legally paid in full] Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Some given faith to believe now. All the rest later (I Cor. 15:20 on). Every knee bows, every tongue confesses Jesus is Lord.God becomes All in All.
About salvation being highly legal, that is something I don't quite agree on. We're not simply prisoners that received mercy and were released.
We have in fact become children of God. In courtroom language, adoption has no place.
Neither could there be a substitutionary punishment. Guilt is guilt and debt is debt. I would suggest that God simply doesn't think like that.
About the law of Moses, as I understand it, was only given to the jews and plays no role in whether someone gets saved or not.
You can't earn your salvation through keeping the law and you can't loose your salvation through not keeping the law.
I mean, if you would want to keep the law to be righteous, you would have to keep ALL commandments just like they were meant, and that's impossible. So you need a sacrifice. And that's what Jesus provided, you are right, ded2daworld.

Off road helmet accessories designed to keep your dirt bike and ATV helmet in working order.
George in WV
Really happy with this hands-free hydration. Perfect for harescrambles that go on for 2 hours +. I have been re-using the bladder with no problems. Only down side is drilling a hole in the mouth piece of helmet, but well worth it. It really is 100% handsfree hyrdation whenever you are racing. I recommend to anyone who races enduro or GNCC.Read All Reviews

I thought $22 was kinda spendy for a helmet lock, but I like my helmet. I kept the carabiner in my saddlebag and it probably bounced around a little, but we're talking about a Harley not a dirt bike. Today the opener switch was broken, so there is no way to open the carabiner...so it is trash. Buy one of the others.Read All Reviews

"Big data" is an imprecise term. As such it's a huge boon to marketers. Practically everything that deals with data or business intelligence can be rebranded into the new gold rush. The hype has been unprecedented and people are naturally wondering if we're about to fall into the trough of disillusionment.
Not everybody is very pleased by the big data movement, including technically oriented folks who long for precise definition, and those who instinctively hear and are irritated by a "bigger is better" argument. These arguments are ably made by Stephen Few in "Big Data, Big Ruse".
As one of the progenitors of the term "big data", I'm happy with its imprecision. It wasn't coined for marketing purposes, but as a descriptor for an emerging technology phenomenon. In the broader business consciousness, at the end of 2012, "big data" really means "smart use of data".
Vendors must do better
What is an unhelpful turn-off is software vendors competing on their own interpretation of the phrase. "You've not got real big data until you've got our software!", "We concentrate on Verisimilitude—the 8th 'V' of big data that everyone else has missed!" I've a larger essay to write about this, but the supply-side nature of the big data industry is a bit disappointing, a constant flow of product that doesn't really meet needs from a business perspective. In that sense, the big data marketing push is pernicious—the same old things just rebrand themselves into the new trend.
I do care about the longevity of the big data market though. The best thing that people like myself can do is not to carp at the term's imprecision, but instead build on and channel the interest in big data, by laying down a structure for what exactly the area is. That's one of the things I do with the Strata Conference, and the raison d'être for the Big Data Journal.
Digital nervous system
By far the best thing I've seen all year that turns the hype into concrete understanding is Rick Smolan's "The Human Face of Big Data", which through very real stories makes the point that big data is about sensing, algorithmic discovery and gaining deeper insight through data. Essentially, the emergence of a global digital nervous system.
What we call "big data" today is a real thing and a real change—an artefact of the digital nervous system growing. We should fully expect the next big trend to also spring from the same process of digitization.

Best ever mascara
I am very pleased with this mascara. It does not clump, goes on easily and washes off with water. My lashes look separated and longer. When I wash my face each evening there is absolutely no rubbing to remove the mascara. during the day it doesn't smudge when you accidentally rub your eye.
By Nancy on November 8, 2013
One of the best out there
Mascara is my thing; I'm always looking for the next best thing when it comes to my lashes. This doesn't cause my lashes to clump, it goes on smoothly and at the end of the day they don't look caky or anything like that. I would definitely recommend this to a friend!

Would be happy to, if pointed in the right direction.
I did Google 'K431-0097' before I posted. Every single mention of it out there seems to be related to Dux in some way. On the other hand, if it's some classified training manual, why would legit people be talking about it on the interweb?

In my time in the Army, I never saw a manual with a designator of that format. Manuals fall into a couple of different types FM (field manuals as in FM 25-150 Combatives), TM (Technical Manuals as in TM 9-1005-213-25 M2 .50 cal Machine Gun), AR (Army Regulations as in AR 670-1 Wear of the Uniform), but tyhis is supposedly a Navy Manual..I will ask around
Here's the sworn statement as seen in the vid from Shane Ludwig in PDF form, FWIW (and saved for posterity).

There's also this - allegedly these are scans from the actual manual.

I sent the question to a former SEAL buddy of mine. Here is my question and his response: Me "Hey Brother,
Have you ever seen or heard of a Navy SEAL CFC SPECWAR Manual: K - 431-0097?
Would love to know if this exists and who wrote it.
Hope All Is Well With You"
Him "I don't know if I've heard of it. I think they used Frank Dux awhile back when they were first getting into using outside trainers to teach some combat fighting. Now they dabble in Jiu Jitzu and Sayoc Kali."
So there you have it.
In any case,, Burke's claim was that Dux wrote the manual. In that video, Dux is listed in the acknowledgements -- along with seven other people and two institutions. Hardly the same thing.
It's the same with most of these BS artists. They claim to control the lightning, and as proof they present a lightning bug in a jar.
Even if that document turns out to be legitimate, it doesn't prove Burke's claim at all.
I note that in all the current stuff on the web that I've been able to locate, Dux never actually directly states that he wrote the manual, as such (he refers to himself as a 'source contributor'). Interestingly, he left it to Burke to actually make that claim on his behalf, to be put up on the internet by Sky Benson...

Remember these? Now they are a fun car/picnic quilt. This quilt is so soft, the fabrics are the softest I've ever felt….. I try to forget its because they are used.
I like to think these sheets sat on a sweet little old lady's guest bed, or better yet in her linen closet and were never even used. But with my luck they probably came from some dingy hotel like the one I stayed at in Niagara Falls three days ago. Seriously….you think I would have learned, you get what you pay for. A $40 dollar hotel, is a $40 dollar hotel, especially when its in Canadian dollars. (i took my own sheets.)
I did simple wavy line quilting along the seams. My husband saw the wavy lines and asked if I moved the quilt back and forth really fast to make the lines wavy (like free motion). I told him yes and he thought I was awesome.
The back is the color of grass stains, because there will definitely be grass stains to come. Now this baby is in the washer….again. Just in case I got the dingy hotel sheets.

Flights to Delhi with Finnair
Experience the mesmerising capital city of India
Delhi, the capital of India, is a fascinating mix of cultures, religions and peoples. In Old Delhi, built by the great mogul Shah Jahan in the 1600s, rickshaws zoom along narrow alleys where mosques and Hindu temples stand side by side. An intoxicating aroma floats from the Khari Baoli spice market, and the fabric, fruit and flower stands along the streets shine in all colours of the rainbow.
In New Delhi, the dazzling administrative buildings, fountains and boulevards, a legacy of British colonial rule, look as if they are from another world. The Baha'i temple, shaped like an enormous lotus flower, and the temple of the monkey god Hanuman represent religious construction at its best. The three UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Delhi are also a must see: the tomb of Humayun, the Qutub Minar minaret and the Mogul Fortress. Cosmopolitan Delhi is India's most versatile city for dining and shopping.

Moderators: no this is not related to atheism per-se but it could venture into the "space/science catagory"....sort of. Lol
If an atheist posts it, it's related to atheism by a stretch. ;)
space= science= fine by me.
Lady Gaga is going to perform in space. Wow that is cool.
Hmm, how to dance there? Ahh, attached to bungie cords? Special, visually designed ones?
In any case, the act should be kept secret until it's showtime.
Hi Belle, Well New Mexico is in the news in Europe for its police being obsessed with the anal probing of traffic stop victims having delved deeply into the colon of one guy some half dozens times ! I gather that a gay mens club in Berlin is trying to arrange a group tour there for that very reason !
Perhaps those who glow in the dark just have the "Holy Spirit", or at least that is what your EPA tells them !
It should be David Bowie (Space Oddity) or Elton John (Rocket Man) not Lady Dada (LOL).
Not a big fan of Lady Gaga. I'm a dirty old man, so I'd far rather see Katy Perry in a tight-fitting colorful vinyl dress with propeller nipples than Lady Gaga dressed up as a hunk of cheese or to look like she's performing in a toilet bowl or whatever dada-esque outfit she'd be dressed in.
Now, maybe if her hair, makeup, and wardrobe crew were to dress Gaga up in drag to look like Carl Sagan or Stephen Hawking, maybe then I could get into it.
I wonder if the Trans-Siberian Orchestra could perform in space. Hmmmmmmmm. THAT would be amazing! @unseen, hey about "lady dada" don't lie. You know you like it, lol!
The sponsors probably want to stick with petite solo artists who sing. Every pound of payload requires over 200 pounds of rocket fuel to get it into orbit.
Author Mary Roach found many astronauts who said space flight is actually a horrible experience much of the time. Two cosmonauts actually compared it to spending time in a smelly prison: you can't leave, you can't step outside for fresh air, there's no privacy, and you're stuck with your cell mate no matter what.
This is why American astronauts are required to sign confidentiality agreements. The American perception that space travel is glamourous helps with public support and keeps the NASA budget in the black.
This is also why the space shuttle astronauts often didn't appear on camera for up to a few days after the launch into space. They were too busy cleaning up all the vomit (and sometimes, all the shit) floating around the shuttle. I kid you not.
There was another story about an experiment involving onions, which were supposed to be observed for growth patterns. Instead, the astronauts ate them because they were sick of processed food and wanted fresh vegetables. The scientist in charge of the experiment asked how the plants were doing. The astronauts said they were doing great. The scientist got excited until the astronauts finally said look, we ate your experiment and it was delicious.
The nutty, barfy, smelly crap that happens in space, stays in space, unless it's good for public relations. I'm sure if Lady Gaga becomes Lady Barf-Crap we won't be hearing about it. Not that I'd want to anyway.

A situational theory of leadership attempts to match a particular leadership style or type to specific external circumstances. The general idea is that one type of leadership will be effective in one situation, but a different type of leadership will be effective in another situation. Historically, situational theories of leadership have been too abstract to apply to specific situations. Nevertheless, the concept of situational leadership retains considerable intuitive appeal. In this article we draw on our previous research about situational leadership during resuscitation in a trauma center, in order to derive a general strategy of how a leader can best develop his or her own personal theory of leadership which best works for their unique circumstances. The core of the strategic approach involves: (1) defining goals for a specific situation, (2) defining potential leadership types, (3) identifying situational conditions, (4) matching a leadership style to the particular situation, and (5) determining how the match between leadership style and situation will be made. The medical trauma center we profile provided an interesting example of how leaders considered elements of the situation to guide their own leadership.
