My favorite part about
My favorite part about Wintersday: Playing the Bell Choir minigame, and hearing strangers playing their own songs in between rounds. I never expected to play a sandbox Guitar Hero MMO, but apparently that's what GW2 has become!
EDIT: Also, is anyone else really impressed with the thought that went into the music? They had to compose the winter theme song in the same key as the main GW2 theme, or you wouldn't be able to play both of them on the same set of bells. The level of thought ArenaNet puts into little details like that is incredible.
What I enjoy most about
What I enjoy most about Wintersday is the random occurrence of mystery gifts out in the non-instanced areas of the game. There's also a general feeling of goodwill amongst players, even moreso than usual. :)
Snowball fights for sure.
Snowball fights for sure. Being able to show off my skills at dominating others and evading hits was a satisfaction.
The way the cities are
The way the cities are decorated is great. Would expect nothing less. The art team for this game is second to none! keep it up.
I love the music the best, Im
I love the music the best, Im happy they changed the music just for the festive occasion. The music gives a cheerful and happy feeling when playing. So does the background and graphics.
What I enjoyed most about
What I enjoyed most about Wintersday is playing and also teaching other players how to play jingle bells on the bell choir and have a chat with them. Everyone seems to be in the Christmas mood.
I like the new dungeon and
I like the new dungeon and the snowball fights.
I love the bell game,
I love the bell game, especially the failed attemps. They're highly amusing, and seeing other players get extremely frustrated, themselves, to the point of rage. But once things start to work in their favor, their mood really swings around and they're happy and adorable. I love seeing that, and giving encouragement and telling jokes about my own failures.
I especially love the appearance of wintersday, it's beautiful. The dungeons are really entertaining, as well.
(just in case) IGN: Rolal
I love the Snowball fight! So
I love the Snowball fight! So much fun! The Jumping puzzle was the perfect level of difficulty, but i was horrible at the Bell Choir xD
I love the wintersday jumping
I love the wintersday jumping puzzle, and toymaker tixx's workshop! The dolls that come out of the presents are way too hard, though.
I really enjoyed the Bell
I really enjoyed the Bell minigame, 'cause the music of the game it's pretty damn good and, when it's not laggy, the minigame it's quite fun. I mean, an 8 button music game, PLEASE, how could not be great?
I should mention as well the snowfights. Not the actual team event, I'm talking about what you can do in Lion's Arch or while you wait to give the jump puzzle another try (and fall instantly and wait again). I find myself enjoying it that much that I didn't even wanted the jump puzzle to start, 'cause nuking a friend with snowballs was so much fun.
My favorite part is the
My favorite part is the creepy doll toys being creepy. I can't wait for my own :3
So far? The jumping puzzle
So far? The jumping puzzle (even though I haven't been able to complete it yet) and Tixx's dungeon. Also: baby quaggan mini!
So far my favourite part has
So far my favourite part has surprisingly (to me) been the Snowball Mayhem activity. I've lost hours having fun with all three professions in there, and it's been a while since I've laughed so much in (a form of) PvP. There was one match where both sides had a fair number of Supporters, and eventually it devolved to both sides coming together in the middle and an endless Icy Ground effect making retrieving the present damn near impossible, but oh so funny - Combine that with Ice Walls everywhere and people get trapped in a slippery tomb of chaos.
My guild and I were looking
My guild and I were looking forward to this event due to how much we enjoyed the Halloween one. We were not disappointed. From the new skins, wood ftw, to the new dungeon, to the jumping puzzle, that although people said was easy, gave me a heck of a time. The snowball spvp should be around year round if you ask me. I love the way it takes all the imbalance out of the equation. Being a huge Guitar Hero fan I loved the music event. My only wish is they would introduce more instruments , LotR style.
The best thing about the event though is the goodwill I've seen from the players. People have always seemed to help more in GW2 then other mmo's, but in this event I have seen people helping others on a whole new level. It really gives you hope that maybe the human race isn't doomed.
So here's to another fantastically well planned and thought out event from Anet. I'm sure it's safe to say we are all looking forward to the next, and many more to follow.
My favorite part of
My favorite part of Wintersday is definitely Playing the Bell Choir. Not only we have a chance to listen to beautiful melody (even if all players are bad in it, bells are still pleasant to ear), but also we can train how to smoothly change skills and gather our whole concentration on this one, simple moment.
It's especially nice, when 3 good players gather together. Sometimes I just stay close to their stage to listen to melody.
Personally, my favorite bells are middle ones. Somehow their melody is the most beautiful for me.
And, hey, it's fun when you fail and instead of getting throwed out of game, you can just wait for next turn, which starts in few seconds. :)
I was surprised at how much
I was surprised at how much fun it is to throw snowballs at people in between tries at the jumping puzzle. Rather than making me more frustrated when I fail, it makes me giggle at the two or three of us haphazardly flinging around snowballs and knocking one another over. There's a little bit of strategy and a lot of camaraderie. The game is a better place for having silly fun like this in it.
The jumping puzzle is
The jumping puzzle is probably the best thing so far. It's not as crazy as the Halloween puzzle, but it is still a nice challenge.
Sitting in LA with the choir
Sitting in LA with the choir bells I've spent so many socks on playing Wintersday music!
The Snowball arena. Oh, and
The Snowball arena. Oh, and the baby quaggan minipet.... CoooOOOooo....
i think the best thing about
i think the best thing about wintersday is hanging with the guildies kickin some toy butt =) i also looooove the bell choir minigame, gh and rb didnt go to waste!
The presents in the
The presents in the explorable areas and the beautiful decoration of LA are definitely my favourite things so far but i do love the dungeon and the christmasy feeling the whole game has at the moment
I've enjoyed the new dungeon
I've enjoyed the new dungeon and the new pets the most (specifically Foostivoo the Merry) I love this little guy!
I think the thing I like most
I think the thing I like most about Wintersday is the general environment of the holiday - the cities (especially Lion's Arch) are so transformed, but none of it feels out of place or forced. The environment is so well done that the idea of having a holiday, and magical snow for snowmen, and everything else fees like a natural part of the game. I also love that the loading screens for the minigames and decorated Lion's Arch fit with the style of the other loading screens. Again, it just makes the idea of a holiday feel so much more natural and integrated into the playing experience.
Jumping puzzle and snowball
My favorite thing about
My favorite thing about Wintersday would definitely have to be the jumping puzzle. I'm usually not that good at them, but everything about it is great, the atmosphere, the music, all the visuals, etc. It's great.
Oh, also, gotta love the festive quaggans.
Design of Heart of the Mists,
Design of Heart of the Mists, hands down. It is just awesome.
I love the Winters Day event
I love the Winters Day event simply because It did not feel like Christmas to me this year for some reason. I figured I was getting older and am no longer a kid so it was just bound to happen. As soon as I jumped into Lions Arch and started playing the event though, I felt like a kid and I really appreciated that.
It has to be the ugly
My favourite part about
My favourite part about wintersday is the entire event. I like Tixx's airship and how it involves all the cities this time. I just realized that DR is much more beautiful and better of a place to hang out than LA. I love the bell choir mini game, it's really fun and sounds amazing. All i want is an unbreakable bell choir and my life will be complete! (Not seriously, but pretty close to being complete).
The snowball fight while
The bells mini-game! A non
The bells mini-game! A non-violent, self-competing music game... be still my heart. In a time when we hear a lot about "violent video games", I'm excited that Anet is 1) giving us reasons to fight beyond brutality and 2) ways of affecting the world beyond our weapons. Excuse me while I go make sweet, sweet holiday music.
Any skepticism I had toward
Any skepticism I had toward the choir bell addition was gone by the second time I played it. Now I can't wait to get home and load it up.
For me, who enjoys running
For me, who enjoys running around doing anything random that comes my way, the greatest addition were the world-wide gifts. The first couple days I spent almost all my time running from one gift to the next, opening them up in hopes of getting two presents and instead getting slaughtered by the toys. The fights with the Vitari were difficult but fun and I even managed to finish my monthly achievement on the first day of the event XP. I just really enjoyed rediscovering zones previously visited by my character, with little extra reward on the side.
While I loved every other Wintersday addition as well, the one that I enjoyed the most after the gifts was the puzzle. At first I could not get the hang of it, but as someone who finished the Mad Clock Tower, I eventually got into the rhythm of the puzzle and done it with even some time to spare. After that I redid the puzzle a few times just to look at the scenery and immerse myself in it. Also I finally turned up (to the max) my graphics and the game looked dazzling (literally) so I grabbed a ton of screenshots of my Asura standing on the little castle at the end of the puzzle, overlooking the scenery.
Really, I love this game, and every update fills me with joy as I can clearly see all the effort ArenaNet put into those updates. There are of course flaws, but no game is perfect, and as long as ArenaNet and the community of Guild Wars 2 strive to rid the game of those flaws together, I will keep on playing this lovely game. I love this update and hope to see many more Wintersdays in the future! :P
I really enjoy the whole
I really enjoy the whole package, not only the things ArenaNet have added, but also the spirit of the community getting together and enjoying it all with each other. Me and my friends have been trying our best to celebrate Wintersday, by playing christmas songs, having friendly snowball fights and have had a lot of fun in Tixx's Infinirarium.
All in all, best Wintersday so far! :)
I really enjoyed the little
I really enjoyed the little mini game the most, it's just so much fun to play it with friends, it's like a friendly, cute pvp match that's just hilarious! :D <3

Foostivoo the Merry by a mile! just so adorable, and totally worth every penny it took to get :)
I think my favourite part is
I think my favourite part is just how the world was redecorated for the holiday spirit! From the random patches of snow to Lion's Arch... and how many people have changed their armour colours to match the festive season. :)
My favorite feature is by far
My favorite feature is by far the jumping puzzle. I just can't have enough of those.
i totally love the
i totally love the snowballfight! the best thing really is choosing some sort of class and getting even extra skills for that. the musical thing is awesome too, mainly because people tend to create their own songs. overall i just like the minigame style of everything, so besides the usual daily stuff you can chillout and relax ingame with friends and strangers.
Sincerely what i enjoyed most
Sincerely what i enjoyed most from wintergrasp event , was spending tons and tons of hours trying to acomplish the lions arch event of the jumping puzzle, even if i hadnt make it( ironic)
Hmmm... I like everything so
Hmmm... I like everything so far. The Christmas Cheer, player ringing bells, snowball fights in which I suck by the way but still enjoy them. Gathering Stinking socks, Gifts and the Tixx's dungeon. Players seem to be more friendly. The atmosphere in Lion's Arch is magnificent. I like to go there and simply feed my eyes with it's beauty. GW2 artist did a splendid job! Never have my senses been so satisfied while playing an MMORPG. Also, I can see how much hard work has been put into that game and every event so far, so concluding I want to say that it was worth waiting so many years for this game. Thank you for satisfying my expectations.
The focus on each capital
I like the whole Event :)
I like the whole Event :)
Everythig is just sooo amazing. You walk arround Lions Arch everything is decorateted so amazing!
Here a flying snowball, there a x-mas-tree! :)
Everybody seams more friendly than ever. Than Tixx on his journey across Tyria. New Dungeon every day. Cuddeling litte Toy Puppets going crazy :)
Just soooo amazing!
Cant name a spezial part of Wintersday. It all together makes me so happy!
I have loved that everyone
I have loved that everyone has been gathering in all the different major cities and celebrating together!
I also love the communal feeling you see in the jumping puzzle! Everyone cheers each other on and says wonderful things and throws snowballs =D It's super festive there!
I loved jumping puzzle!
I loved jumping puzzle!
Undoubtedtly, the most
Undoubtedtly, the most wonderful thing about Wintersday thus far is the general inclusiveness of the design coupled with the dispersion of event features. Unlike previous special events, Wintersday has not been marred by server crushing lag due to short-sighted design. That makes everyone happy. Plus, the entire event isn't designed to divide the community into "those who were there and are ravenous for end-game content" versus "people who like to play Guild Wars; but, don't have an interest in being the firstest, fastest, finest."
I've found it much easier to overlook the minor flaws with the event and simply enjoy the content, especially with guildies who may not be on for 4-10 hours a day. Being able to experience the content with a character of any level is a boon that binds the community together. It can even be the basis for forging new relationships with other players. Plus, it gives guilds more to build their own activities around.
Even with the progressing difficulty so far, Wintersday has done a better job of being an inviting, inclusive challenge than any other special event the game has had so far. From the tiny whimsy of Magic Snow snowball fights throughout the world, to the large cooperative arena fun of Tixx's Infinirarium, ArenaNet really got it more right this time than ever before.
What i have liked so far
What i have liked so far about Wintersday in GW2 is the non time sensitive dungeons to collect parts to build minis. I just built my first one today, Mini Toy Ventari, and i'm liking it very much. I even got a skin for my staff to become a toy staff. I'm still working on holiday attire.

Ludwig Classic Maples?
10 Attachment(s)
My newest kit.
This kit was advertised as Ludwig Rockers and even though all the heads are Rockers heads, I'm pretty sure they are not Rocker shells.
I have been trying to figure out what they are but I get confused because they have the long lugs. Also, there are Standard, Classic, Super Classic, Maple Classic, etc.. I can't tell the difference.
I think they are 6 ply maple with the outer layers being much thinner than the inner ones. Would the bass drum hoop be the same as the shells?
Sizes are 10x9 12x11 14x14 20x16. Came with a 14x5 supra.
All the badges are Monroe with serial numbers of 332xxxx
The bass and toms have black ink "105" inside and the snare has "095". What does this mean?
I'd really like to know what they are, when they were made, and how much they are worth.
Any info would be appreciated.
Re: Ludwig Classic Maples?
Kit is mid-'80s or later, those are the dreaded 6-ply "thick" shells. Not as horrible as everyone thought, they were actually great rock drums. But the thicker shells and heavy-duty hardware robbed them of any jazz or quietish, expressive sounds that the older 3-ply drums had.
Fusion & rock, yeah. Jazz trio, no.
Re: Ludwig Classic Maples?
Yup .... 6 ply. With the Mach lugs .... and modular hardware. I think about 85, was when the Classic line moved to Monroe. The 6 ply shell came out in 1976, and the modular hardware came out in 1980.
Nice tubs.
Re: Ludwig Classic Maples?
Re: Ludwig Classic Maples?
If you got them at a Rockers price then you did real good.

Scouting Report
Jonah Ballow
Knicks vs. Wizards 7:30 PM
Where to Watch: MSG
Where to Listen: ESPN 1050 AM
Big Picture
New York: The past three games for the Knicks have been exhilarating as the squad has managed to defeat Chicago in overtime last Sunday and escape Milwaukee with a monumental win on Wednesday. New York improved to 30-28 on the season, gained a two-game advantage over the Bucks, and now the squad only trails Philadelphia for the seventh spot by one game. On Thursday night, Miami suffered an overtime defeat to Chicago, which just about guarantees either a Knicks – Bulls or Knicks – Heat first round matchup in the first round of the postseason. New York will play its next three games at home before hitting the road for a three-game trip.
Washington: At 14-44, the Wizards are winding down the season and looking ahead to the lottery. Washington is banged up heading into the final eight games of the season with injuries to Rashard Lewis, Andray Blatche, Nene, and Trevor Booker. Nene and Booker are day-to-day after missing the previous contest against Orlando. Despite the dismal record, the Wizards own talent on their roster behind 2010 No. 1 overall pick John Wall, and 2011 draft picks Chris Singleton and Jan Vessely. Washington's eight final games of the season are a mix of bottom feeders and top playoff contenders as it will face the Knicks today, Chicago, and Miami twice to conclude the 2011-12 campaign.
Last Time Out
New York: On Wednesday, the Knicks battled down the stretch and captured a moral boosting 111-107 victory over the Bucks in Milwaukeee.
Washington: In a surprising 93-85 victory, the Wizards received 24 points and 13 rebounds from Kevin Seraphin on Tuesday night.
The Numbers Game
Carmelo Anthony remains red-hot in the month of April by averaging 32.4 points and 7.4 rebounds per game while shooting 51.2 percent from the floor in 39 minutes of action.
Match-up to Watch
Baron Davis vs. John Wall
In the two meetings against New York, Wall is averaging 25.5 points and 7.5 assists. Interesting enough, the lighting quick point guard has battled a different Knicks point guard in each match up. After squaring off against Toney Douglas in early January and Linsanity the following month, Wall will face Baron Davis tonight at MSG. The amount of court time for Davis is uncertain at this point as he deals with a variety of injuries, including a strained neck that he suffered on Wednesday night. Expect Iman Shumpert and JR Smith to shift over to the point guard spot on the defensive side of the floor throughout the contest to halt Wall's explosive opportunities inside the paint.
What to Look For
This matchup clearly falls into the category of a trap game, considering the Knicks are fresh off a gigantic victory in Milwaukee and they will host the hated Miami Heat on Sunday afternoon at the Garden. New York can't afford to take its foot off the pedal despite the new cushion created between the eight and nine spots in the Eastern Conference standings. The best case scenario is for the hometown squad to jump out to a sizeable lead and provide some much needed rest for the starters heading into a crucial two-game stretch against Miami and Boston in the next five days.

NCAA passes $500 million in net assets
Oct 15, 2012, 11:37 PM EDT
Non-profit, eh?
USAToday.com reported Monday that the NCAA has now surpassed $500 million in net assets, including a $260 million endowment fund.
The information provided is a result of "an examination of the NCAA's previous audited financial statements and membership reports, its federal income tax returns and a series of interviews and e-mails with association executives," according to the story.
In all, the analysis showed that the NCAA's spending went to as much as $800 million, with an all-time high of $503 million being distributed to Division I schools. The analysis showed that the NCAA made at least $860 million during the 2012 fiscal year.
"We are not speculating on our year-end numbers," spokesman ErikChristianson said via e-mail. "But we expect to post a surplus at the end of the year and make a supplemental distribution to our members after receiving final audited financial results."
Another crazy finding? A large amount of the NCAA's money comes from the television rights they gave to CBS and Turner Broadcasting for the NCAA Tournament, which pulled in $666 million in 2012. Along with the $18.8 million provided from ESPN's rights to the women's tournament, the total percentage of revenue provided is 80-percent. Insane.
There are a lot of numbers in the article, with great research provided by USAToday. The bottom line is that the NCAA is making a ton of money off these college kids and coaches in the midst of heated debate over whether college athletes should get paid, which is another blog for another time.
The NCAA is making a ton of bank and distributing it among the schools, including a huge endowment. This should stir the pot in this debate of paying college athletes.
But mainly, this is an eye-opener to anyone wondering exactly what type of profit the NCAA brings in. College sports is more and more looking like a business.

- manchestermiracle - Oct 16, 2012 at 11:14 AM
Who in the world thinks the NCAA is non-profit? Most, if not all, the top schools are for-profit concerns. Pay athletes? Why would they? That would just cut into the bottom line. Athletes get scholarships and the best get preparation for pro careers.
The NCAA should concentrate on allowing more stipends for its athletes in order to better control inappropriate benefits. Putting more of that money into general scholarship funds for non-athletes would help its public image, too. How about working to help reign in the banks who prey on students with loans that cripple them before they even get a job?

1 cup
barbecue sauce
1/4 cup
steak sauce
4 tablespoons
red wine vinegar salad dressing
4 tablespoons
soy sauce
5 tablespoons
Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon
prepared mustard
1 clove
garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
This was very tasty after marinating for just a couple of hours. I didn't have red wine vinegar salad dressing -- so substituted with a mix of red wine vinegar and canola oil. Great way to use things I already had on hand. A keeper!
I recently tried this marinade because it was one of the top rated steak marinades on this site. What I was most worried about was that this marinade would have a heavy A-1 Sauce flavoring...and I was right. It's really not a sauce that I like at all. I can't describe what it is that I don't like, but I just think it's one of the worst flavorings for meat! I really don't get why it's so popular. So, while I liked this steak, I didn't love it. And it's probably not something I'll make again because there are so many other great flavors out there! But, if you're a fan of A-1 Sauce, you will probably like this.

Excellent marinade! My husband loves A1 so I gave this a try. I used a combination of red wine vinegar and olive oil instead of salad dressing and dijon for the prepared mustard. I put everything into a ziploc bag and let it marinate overnight. It turned sirloin into a very tender and delicious cut of meat. I would definitely try this on chicken just to see what happens...
I miss read the recipe and put in red wine vinegar rather than red wine vinegar salad dressing. It still turned out okay. I have to say I think it would be better on chicken than steak though. The BBQ sauce taste was a little too over powering for me. I will probably try it on chicken though. I think that has real potential.
Hubby insists that this is out of this world and deserves a 5. This is a very good marinade, but only if you like barbecue sauce on your steaks. I agree with another reviewer that I think that this would be outta this world on chicken. This really was a nice change of pace. Be sure to barbecue the meat slowly, the sauce lends itself to flaring up and burning if you aren't careful. Thank you for the post!
I Marinated the steaks all day. I then washed off the marinade and sprayed olive oil on the steaks and used Montreal steak seasoning on each side as we grilled them.....Fabulous.
Everyone who had steak with this marinade loved it!! could not stop talking about it the whole meal and I won't eat steak without it ever again.
Very tasty marinade! Good on chicken thighs and shrimp as well! Do NOT need to add salt. The soy sauce is salty enough.

Car Technology Adds Convenience and Safety for Families
Sunday, June 17th, 2012
Technology in different forms is everywhere and as vehicle manufacturers roll out their 2013 for the media to get a first glance at, it's apparent that in-car technology is not only adding convenience but also making cars of all sizes, makes, and models safer while enhancing the drive experience.
SUV Crossover: 2013 GMC Terrain Denali
The 2013 GMC Terrain Denali Crossover includes a wealth of great technology that has the consumer's best interests in mind. Two powered USB outlets provide for convenient charging and pairing a phone via Bluetooth couldn't be easier but the gem of this family vehicle is the customizable touch screen located in the center console. Usually the touch screen comes loaded with a bunch of icons that may be irrelevant to the consumer or badly placed. The Terrain Denali allows for customizable icons on the screen. Choose the ones you want and place them where you want them so you have weather, navigation, and icons for audio at your fingertips.
The GMC Terrain Denali also comes with multiple cameras that monitor surroundings to keep vehicle occupants safe. Forward collision alert and lane departure warnings serve as a way to visually and audibly warn drivers of imminent collisions. Drifting over lines on the lines on either side of the vehicle without engaging the turn signal will activate the lane departure warning system.
The side blind zone and rear cross traffic alert systems rely on radar to watch spots that drivers can't always see. A yellow icon located in the rear view mirrors illuminates when there is a car in the blind spot. The Terrain's standard rear view camera displays footage as a driver backs up but also provides an alert in the event there is cross traffic.
From a convenience perspective, parents will appreciate that all the doors of the vehicle can be unlocked with a single button touch on the key fob, rather than a single click for front doors and double click for rear doors. The rear lift gate also has multiple settings to allow for it to open fully or partially so it won't bang into garages upon being raised.
Midsize hybrid: Kia Optima Hybrid
Step up to the Kia Optima Hybrid with the key in your pocket or purse and integrated proximity sensors know the key is near and allows consumers to unlock the doors with the touch of the button on the door handle. Touch once to open the driver's side door. Press twice to open all the doors. The trunk can also be opened without the usual key digging. Thanks to a touch button start, you can leave the keys exactly where they are to drive away. Just don't leave them in a bag in your trunk. The car will know and won't let you drive away with them hiding back there.
Compact: Mazda M3
Like the GMC Terrain Denali's lane assist feature, the Mazda M3 features the blind spot monitoring system that alerts drivers to cars located in blind spots on either side of the vehicle. Sensors detect other cars located 12.5 feet from left to right and 26 feet behind the car and alert drivers in a helpful, but not jarring way. Upon detecting a car in a blind spot, the Mazda illuminates an icon in the mirror. As a second method of monitoring, the car will beep when drivers attempt to turn on their turn signal when another vehicle is detected in the blind spot.

Finance specialist on high after doubling completed deals value
Posted: April 16, 2014|
CLEARWATER, the Nottingham corporate finance specialist, ended its financial year on a high, doubling to £900 million the value of completed deals.
The firm, based on The Ropewalk, said it achieved several successes including a high level of cross border deals, particularly with North American purchasers.
It also cited growth in the number of deals involving private equity and increased activity from the firm's debt advisory practice.
Clearwater said its international focus continued to mature with ten cross-border transactions in 2013-14, which represented 70 per cent of all businesses sold by Clearwater to trade buyers. The firm has developed strong relationships with North America from where 60 per cent of trade buyers originated.
Transactions illustrating this trend include the sale of Doorstop International based in Huthwaite to Masonite.
Others included the sale of CSC World to Trimble Navigation and the sale of Amber Chemical to ICM Products.
Clearwater said private equity continued to be a key source of deal flow for Clearwater with 19 completed transactions, cementing the firm's position as the number one independent adviser to mid market private equity.
Key private equity transactions for Clearwater during the year included YFM's acquisition of Gill Marine, Kennett Partners investment in Rivo Software and LDC's management buy out of Angus Fire.
Clearwater's debt advisory practice was involved in 11 transactions, including both new debt for fresh private equity investments and a number of innovative refinancing arrangements for corporate and private equity backed clients.
Major transactions from its debt advisory team included funding for LDC's investment in leading lifestyle brand Joules, the refinancing of caravan park operator Park Resorts and Sovereign Capital's acquisition of Kindertons Accident Management.
Mr Burns said: "We are delighted with our performance during the last financial year.
"There has clearly been a boost in confidence in the marketplace, which has put businesses in a much more comfortable position to capitalise on growth.
"This has seen our transactional activity increase substantially and our deal pipeline for the remainder of 2014 looks healthy.2

LinkedIn has at last added a long-requested feature with the introduction of member blocking. This adds a new privacy control to the service, which lets you restrict access to your profile, direct interactions, and network activity from any other logged-in member who you don't want to interact with on LinkedIn.
The company says that it introduced the option not only because of user feedback, but also because "it was the right thing to do."
While many of us will be grateful for the addition because it means we'll now have a simple tool to block spammers who clutter our LinkedIn inbox with annoying requests and messages, blocking also has more serious safety and privacy implications, too – such as in the case of users who are victims of stalking or domestic violence, for example.
In an announcement about the change, LinkedIn also noted it has a variety of other tools for users interested in better protecting their privacy, including tools to disconnect from existing connections, tools to control your activity broadcasts, plus profile and photo visibility settings.
LinkedIn suggests that before you block a member, you turn on "anonymous profile viewing" in your settings, which is what will allow you to visit the soon-to-be-blocked user's profile without leaving a trail. (In the "Who's Viewed Your Profile" section on LinkedIn, they would only see that an anonymous user had visited their profile, instead of your name.)
The new blocking feature is available on the drop-down box on a user's profile, next to the "Send InMail" button. It's now the last item on the list, which reads "Block or report."
After a user is blocked, you won't be able to access each other's profiles, message each other, and if you had been connected before blocking, you won't be anymore. Any endorsements and recommendations from that member will also be removed from your profile, and neither user will ever be recommended to the other again in the "People You May Know" or "People also Viewed" sections of LinkedIn.
As someone who has mistakenly been perhaps a little too generous in responding to connection requests in years past, the blocking feature is a welcome change. Now, all those "maximize your SEO!" and "buy my stuff!" emails I receive can be met with a swift response.

Hey guys! Today's the big day, Super bowl Sunday! As you may know it's the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks. I personally know nothing about these teams so have no idea who is going to win therefore I did not make any bets like many of my guy friends did. I will be spending my day at work, typical Sunday which I need to make money so fine by me.
This past week I have been working a lot which is good. This past Friday I went snowboarding as it was college id night at Brandywine, meaning 20 dollars for all college students with a college id. I went with three other friends and met up with a bunch of other guys. I was feeling adventurous and decided to go off a jump and I landed it getting 2 feet in the air! I was so proud of myself for conquering my fear of jumps and now that I did it once I feel like I can do anything I set my mind to. This picture is all of us at Brandywine, Current BW students also featured in this picture are Leah Steinhoff, Josh Low, and Josh Pipenburg.

KABUL: Two American troops were killed Saturday by insurgents in eastern Afghanistan, an area that has seen heavy fighting in recent months, the US military said.
No other information about the deaths was disclosed, pending notification of family members.
But a US military official said two US special operations forces were killed by small arms fire in Wardak province, southwest of Kabul.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose information about the deaths.
So far this year, 296 international troops, including at least 257 Americans, have been killed in Afghanistan.
In the south, an Afghan policeman was killed and another was wounded when a remote-controlled bomb planted on a motorbike was detonated in Sangin district of Helmand province, according to provincial spokesman Ahmad Zarak.

Launched in October 2012, Georgia Organics and its partners launched the Five Million Meals Challenge, a statewide effort to get five million meals made with locally grown food served in K-12 cafeterias across Georgia. The program is an offshoot of an initiative that began in 2011 with Farm to School advocates who oversaw the serving of three million meals in more than 650 schools, featuring locally produced food.
The goal of the program is to teach children where their food comes from, why that matters and inspire them to eat more fruits and vegetables, said state officials.
Fulton Schools was a charter participant in the program, said Alyssia Wright, executive director of school nutrition. She pledged the district's support to increase the amount of local food served to students through Farm to School, a program that connects schools and local farms.

Is a one-way ticket to Mars the best answer we have for our grandchildren?
Hopefully, the answer to that question is "no," and we are finally ready to take the steps necessary to reduce climate change and the impacts of climate change we've seen in the past few years -- ever more severe storms, extended droughts, and the worst wildfires some states have ever seen. The science behind climate change is clear.

Great Casual Shirt
I bought this in both colors and love it, however, I never saw the description that it was supposed to have fleece lining. That would have been really nice and it's weird that it actually does not have any lining at all.
Great casual flannel - fits great! Not a great technical piece.

Whoooaa! This is kewl. Also generates unique reflections around that light. Note on the side: is it still cool to say kewl? Probably not !
This intreging piece of design is sure to attract the right kind of attention in your home. Cleverly designed to look like a normal table lamp through flat images on sheets of glass which layer up to form a 3D image. The light seems to radiate out from inside as if it were a normal lamp, but move to its side and you can see that it is nothing but sheets of glass! This piece of contemporary furniture could almost be classified as a modern work of art, but however you see it, it will certainly add a touch of class to your home. An interesting design concept which also looks stunning!
The product consits of two parts which connect together with strong magnets to form a cube, so you can take it appart to change the bulb.

'Looper' a fun, fresh sci-fi film
This is not another "Matrix" or "Inception."
At least, I don't think so; because, those two movies, I didn't "get."
"Looper," on the other hand, I got -- with a passion. This is a really well done movie about youth and old age fighting (both literally and figuratively) with each other.
Yes, there are many similarities with James Cameron's Time Travel sci-fi classic "The Terminator," and, at first glance, some could say that writer/director Rian Johnson actually stole the plot from the Schwarzenegger movie.
We have here a movie where someone from the future is sent back in time to be killed, but then tries to kill the child who will grow up to terrorize (not save) the future. Sort of a reverse "Terminator" plot.
But to me, this was a more advanced version of a classic Twilight Zone episode called... oh second thought, never mind -- I don't want to spoil the surprise for you.
Let's just say that Bill Mumy will get a kick out of watching this ("That was a good thing, you did, Anthony, wishing him into the cornfield...").
I'll try not to give away any major plot points in this review, but it will be difficult. Let's just say that director and writer Rian Johnson's story is not very original, but still feels "fresh."
Once you get by the usual thoughts and conversations about what will change who and when in the future when you change something in the past -- which is always encountered in a time travel book or movie -- it's just plain fun.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("The Dark Knight Rises," "Premium Rush," "Third Rock From the Sun") is Joe, a young man with promise who works for the Mob in 2044. The only way for Organized Crime to kill someone and dispose of the body 30 years down the road, is to send the victim back in time, to be killed by "Loopers" like Joe.
One flaw that sticks out is that they don't kill the victim AND THEN send them back. Another flaw is that they don't just send them back to 1,000 B.C., and eliminate the costly Looper Assassin culture altogether.
But, that would make for a very short movie.
Gordon-Levitt's character is done as well as his recent role in "Premium Rush," but the film's effort to make him look like a younger Bruce Willis harms the effect. He does a great imitation of the Willis smirk, but the prosthetic nose job gets in the way of every close up scene in the movie.
Veteran action star Bruce Willis ("Die Hard," "Moonlighting," "Red") is Old Joe, actually, Gordon-Levitt's character with thirty years of history. Like today's young folks say, "It's complicated."
Willis is his usual over-confident, manly-man self, almost identical to a dozen roles that make his a top star. And that's okay, here, as he plays a veteran hit man for the Mob, who just wants to find and destroy the sadistic killer from the future, who is only a child in the 2044 present.
Like I said, quite "Terminator"ish.
Playing a strange role as the child's mother, Emily Blunt ("The Devil Wears Prada," "The Young Victoria," "The Five-Year Engagement") is almost an exact replica of Linda Hamilton's character in the original "Terminator," right down to her name being Sara. She does her best to break beyond the comparison, but fails in the attempt.
The classic Mob Boss (present) is played by Jeff Daniels ("Dumb & Dumber," "Blood Work," "Pleasantville"), who has fun with his role, being quite different from a flashy Capone or Gotti, more like a low key Soprano.
Piper Perabo ("Coyote Ugly," "Covert Affairs," "Whiteboyz") takes a break from her television show to appear (topless at times) as Suzie the Hooker. I have no idea the reasoning as to why she is even here (probably explained in film left somewhere on the cutting room floor).
A beautiful Chinese actress named Qing Xu ("Farewell My Concubine," "The Founding of a Republic") briefly makes a "dream" appearance or two as Old Joe's wife, but has no lines or real "scenes," other than to show that the old hit man has feelings and is emotionally hurting.
Everyone's acting is good, with very little hamming it up or over zealousness. The movie seems longer than its two hour playing time, but seldom drags.
A glaring error in the time line shows 1980s era vehicles and 1950s era diners, in 2044, which would make the diner almost 100 years old and the pick-up a definite antique, while the use of early 21st Century cars (which would have made them 30-40 years old) would have still given the movie the low class economic atmosphere it was looking for. Perhaps the Powers That Be did not want to invest in the cost of showing futuristic transportation (CGI or otherwise).
Speaking of CGI, I appreciated the lack thereof. This was an old-style sci-fi piece, relying on acting, set design and storyline -- something we don't see enough of at the multiplex nowadays.
"Looper" was 1,000 percent better than I expected it to be. It was not an "Avatar" or "Alien," but it is well done, with a fun story told in a fun way. Go see this one and have fun.

I got 25 (thanks to harvey grant showing up when i really only meant horace grant). I didnt play the game much, but I did actually watch the NBA back then. Those were my glory days.
Last time I checked, there are multiple journalists for this site. That means multiple opinions.
From looking at the schedule, it appears the hornets could go on a very nice run over the next month or so. I see them being favored in 18 of their next 20!? Wow
Nice article, and I like the personal twist you put on it. Sounds like you had a good time. Let's keep the momentum rolling towards a playoff bid!
I've got a quick fantasy question.....Sit or Start....Matt Cassel or Kerry Collins? I know, I know, if I'm choosing between these two I've already got bigger problems. But my league starts two QBs, and this is my QB2 spot. What are your thoughts?
sbruns4 is the most intelligent person--ever.
Thank you, Hornets. Dont be mad at your friend, Mr Schexnaydre, he obviously bets with his head and not his heart. Its more profitable in the long run.
messiuer referee, le chris paul just a shook me out le shoesa. le tysone chandlair just stepped on le face. por favor messieur referee.
what!!! is that madame moiselle eva? I cannot shoota free throws! I no lika new orleans
oh lord not again! btw, u r quoted on tigerdroppings, you phony
NFL network reported the Saints offered this year's 1st and 2nd rd picks, plus next year's 1st rounder to the Chiefs to move up to 5. Not sure what Mickey was thinking with that one, that is way too much to give up. The dumber move was Carl Peterson NOTaccepting that offer, though. Did you hear this also, Mr. Schexnaydre?
And for those of you that were trying to tell me about all the talent Alabama had last year (implying they were just poorly coached), I think that argument was settled yesterday. The Crimson Tide have a long way to go, friends.
here, here mr. schexnaydre! As I was sitting in the arena last night, i imagined how loud (and often) the crowd is going to chant M-V-P if we are fortunate enough to host a game against Kobe and the Lakers.
you are smarter than that, dre. since when did the first round stop after pick 10?
plus, Vilma likes to build houses for united way. I didnt see you mention the Randle Gay pickup. Thoughts?
I didnt get the text message, hmmm.....
- You also just now read my jersey entry, which was posted many days ago. Hmmm...
Mr. Schexnaydre is only trying to let people know that 90% of the rest of us are laughing at them for their attire. If you dont care that others are laughing at you, then dont worry about it. With that being said, I am officially retiring my jersey-shirt.
Does anyone else think SaintTino82 is actually Mr. David Schexnaydre commenting on his own columns. The columns are always very articulate and professional, so I think Mr. Schexnaydre needs a way to say what he is really thinking without having to abide by 'journalism standards.'
that frisbee was false advertising. also, i would like to publicly apologize to the family I might have injured last night
You forgot about the honeybee that had a secret crush on your friend

I work in the same building but only eat here when the weather is bad and I don't want to go outside. Service is great, always with a smile, but the food is less so. although sushi is innocuous enough, I've been serially disappointed by the curry, since they serve it with rice swimming in curry soup and not served with the thick curry sauce I'm used to. The tempura udon passes for OK if you are hard up for a hot noodle soup,but the shrimp was much more crunchy, I think the batter they use doesn't have enough (any?!) panko. all in all: a lesser sushi shop that will do in a pinch. not cheap.

Great fast, inexpensive sushi. A friend of mine works in the building where obento is located in the lobby of. We decided to grab lunch there one day and i was pleasantly surprised. The sushi was rolled fresh or you could pick pre-created combinations. Prices were very reasonable and the sushi was delicious. I would definitely recommend obento for a lunch spot and plan on going there often myself.

U assume correctly. But i remember the game that i updated from. It was Mario tennis wii. BTW i have a modded wii. and mario tennis wii is a copy game and not an original.
Ok so you didn't mention the System Menu version. Am I to assume you don't know?
What was the game you semi-bricked with?
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.
U assume correctly. But i remember the game that i updated from. It was Mario tennis wii. BTW i have a modded wii. and mario tennis wii is a copy game and not an original.
I don't know the update of Mario Tennis unfortunately and we do have quite a big list. It's been with us since around March 2009 so probably came with 3.1/3.4.
I doesn't make much difference.
Now I'm assuming you are semi-bricked, that's the Wii having an Opera message when you go into settings. Is that right? You can still load games as usual?
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.
Totally right. I am getting an opera msg when i try to access the settings menu and i still am able to load games as normally.
Ok just had to be sure.
Right. Seeing as we have no Homebrew or any of that stuff what we need to do is carefully select a game that has a higher System than you have but is in the right region.
New Super Mario Bros Wii is a new game that has System Menu 4.1 which, when you put it in the Disc channel will request an update to be run. Make sure this game is either retail(rent, borrow etc) or guaranteed to be the right region for where you live.
When you run this update it'll fix your Wii config to the right area and the brick will be fixed.
Do you know what modchip you are using?
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.
Thanks a million. I believe that this is the only way to do so. Now the question is how do i know which version is my wii. How do i know if its pal, or ntsc?
Where do you live mate?
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.
hey dude. I live in the middle east. Bahrain to be specific. However I bought my Wii from Dubai, UAE. The thing is most ppl here buy ntsc, wii's. I dont know if mine is pal or ntsc. Is there a way to check on the machine itself?
I was hoping you'd say something straightforward. Oh well.
It's pretty important to know your region but it would either be NTSC-USA (also Canada) or PAL (covers Europe and Australia).
Typically Bahrain is one of the exceptions as they sell both types. You could also have a modded Wii that started life as one thing and was sold as another.
Oh joy.
Do you know the region of the Mario tennis you used? Normally isos are identified with PAL or NTSC. Do any of your other games (from before you bricked) have identification? The more info the merrier.
I've not spent too much time analysing the casing of my Wii so I am unsure if it says anything on there but it does say in the Wii manual that mine is PAL.

Ok Bro. All what i know is that mario tennis wii is a copy game (not an original) which i am not sure what version it is as it doesnt say at all. Now i have super mario galaxy and ssbb which are ntsc. When i reviewed the manual, it says,"This product only plays wii game discs and game cube discs labeled with "for use only in uae and saudi arabia". So does that mean it is pal? Now the thing is i have played as mentioned above that, i have already played MArio galaxy and ssbb ntsc. I have played mario kart wii (which was a copy game and not an original) and it asked me to update and i did and it didnt brick. So any help is greatly appreciated.

Laying the fuzz bass on thick, Eric Elbogen, aka Say Hi, aims straight for your poisoned little heart with the minimalist, futuristic thumper "Such a Drag."
A little less Arcade Fire and a little more Passion Pit, Ra Ra Riot leaves the cellist behind and travels into synth territory with "Beta Love."
"Beta Love" by Ra Ra Riot somehow blends sky-high crooning, synthed-out strings, popped-out synths, bubbling bass and absolutely party-ready beats. It's an indie dance-pop lover's single come true.
Yellow Ostrich charts new indie-rock territory with wild melodies, spiky rhythms and tightly-wound musical puzzles. By subverting songwriting norms, the band opens up new musical worlds.
The style of Maps & Atlases assimilates itself into multiple applications: The complex, mathematical beats prove suitable for serious listening, while the pop-oriented flair provides the means to move along with it. The Chicago band turned in a rare acoustic session in the KDHX studios.

Are Boeing's Dreamliner problems a result of its offshoring policy – and could onshoring have saved it? Steve Denning makes a convincing case for that argument in two great articles – read the latest here. I disagree.
It's true, as Steve says, that when you do major collaborative projects you need more supervision, not less. And you need to budget for people who understand how to manage cross-cultural differences in the supply groups.
That much has been known for 40 years in Europe where the EU has consistently forced big companies into collaborative projects with companies from other countries.
Even so, Airbus Industrie, Boeing's competitor, has had its nightmare negotiations, cost overruns and badly specified planes.
Even with significant experience of collaboration, success does not come easy. And as Steve points out when you divide projects into too many sub-components for outsourcing, you can lose essential process management skills – however, you should be learning new ones, the skills of successful collaboration.
But the big issues is this: The status quo prior to outsourcing is history. It ain't coming back. It has been being replaced by the elastic enterprise.
Once you accept that Boeing did not adequately prepare for a tiered, cross-cultural project, the Dreamliner problem comes down to three other key issues.
#1. Core vs context
The future of the enterprise is about extensive externalization. We've called that process "outsourcing" and "offshoring" because that's been the easiest and most visible aspect of externalization – and the most painful for jobs, not least because it is often driven by labor relations conflicts.
But look as well at the importance of open APIs, RSS feeds in the content business, third party distribution platforms like YouTube, payroll support, SaaS, companies that hire external design teams for core features like the UI, an increasing tendency to see LinkedIn as an external labor resource platform, the widespread use of developer communities….
The big change for all companies lies in how to attract and manage external resources. In that sense Boeing is on the right path but has chosen to blind itself to the complexity of this new management need.
The discussion around that topic is sometimes shorthanded to "core vs context". What is absolutely core to your efficiency, agility and competitiveness, and so remains inhouse; what is not and can be externalized? Surely aircraft wings are core to company like Boeing? Well, no, not really. What is core? Large scale partnership management.
#2. The ecosystem model of business
That leads us on to ecosystem business models. I don't think we yet understand how complex ecosystems work or how to manage them. In an innovation context, the next move can come from anywhere in an ecosystem, so I've heard leading companies talk about "bringing stuff back in" – but they mean something quite different from onshoring.
They mean they want to build integrity into their ecosystem so that the small, smart movers become part of company A or B's ecosystem and not the ecosystem of its competitors.
I doubt this is yet on Boeing's agenda but it will be.
#3. Risk management and real risk delegation
Forcing suppliers to bear cost and final risk is absolutely the name of the game as projects become for more complex and risk laden. GE's barometer of innovation shows that executives fear the way some challenges are now just too big for any one company. But a consequence of that can't be just that the biggest company takes the role of lead wrangler. Big companies have to force risk and real consequences onto their partners.

Picture: Quentin Tarantino The Museum of Modern Art 5th annual Film Benefit honoring Quentin Tarantino- Arrivals New York City, USA- 03.12.12
Quentin Tarantino has given up his acting dream because he doesn't want to take orders from another director.
The Pulp Fiction moviemaker dabbled with acting early in his career and got serious about the craft when he was dating Oscar winner Mira Sorvino - but he admits the interest quickly wore off, and he even cut himself out of his Kill Bill films.
He tells Playboy magazine, "I was going to play (Pai Mei). I'd trained to do the fights and everything, but it was such a big-deal movie that I needed all my attention directing.
"I decided that if I'm going to be on a set, I want it to be my set, with me directing. I don't want to be an actor in somebody else's movie. I don't want people faxing call sheets to my house."
Tarantino still makes brief appearances in his movies, however - he played a scalped German officer in Inglourious Basterds and had a small role in Death Proof.

DVDs, 1/5.DK Holm reviews the ways DVD specialists spent the holidays. A few notes follow. In America, anyway, the week from Christmas to New Year's is a weird time, an interim between intense festivities, one private and the other public, at opposite ends of the hedonism scale. Right after Christmas, few people are buying anything; they are returning the unwanted junk that others gave them. But except for the still-crowded streets of gift returnees, the world grows quiet, as the public bides its time in order to get through the beginning of the new year, after which things will, presumably, return to normal. Like February or August, two other ass ends of the year, it's an odd time to release a "major motion picture," on screen or on DVD. But then, maybe Brian De Palma's The Black Dahlia isn't a major motion picture. Currently it rates only a 36 percent approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes, and most reviewers appear to have found it false to Hollywood and false to James Ellroy's source novel, many adding comparisons to the much superior but financially under-rewarded LA Confidential at Dahlia's expense. Given De Palma's long history as a maverick filmmaker and as an influence on film buffs and filmmakers alike (Tarantino, for example), an assumption might be that the DVD reviewers, who are generally more serious film geeks than the majority of mainstream newspaper writers, would be more sympathetic to Mr De Palma. Not necessarily so. Phil Bacharach at DVD Talk was one of the first DVD specialists to take on the film. Beginning with a career summary and an interesting thesis about De Palma's strengths and weaknesses, i.e., that De Palma "consistently does his best work when he isn't expected to make too much sense. But give the guy a big, juicy story to tell, and he winds up charred in a bonfire of his own bravado." Consequently, De Palma's version of the Ellroy book "mainly just disappoints." After attempting a plot summary, he ends up pointing out rightly that after a certain point, "what follows, however, is sheer incoherence... The deeper Bucky digs into the Dahlia mystery, the deeper the movie sinks into inscrutability. De Palma and screenwriter Josh Friedman are too enraptured by stylistic excess to streamline Ellroy's dense plot. Amid the period detail and De Palma's fluid camerawork, it is nearly impossible to catalog the mounting back stories of characters with whom we have only a glancing familiarity." The disc itself, however, offers an image that is "top-notch, devoid of glitches such as edge enhancement, noise or combing," with sound that is "rich, dramatic and making creative use of immersive sound." About the extras, which consist of three promotional docs, Keith Uhlich notes at Slant that, "Cumulatively these mini-documentaries add up to slightly more than standard puff material, though there is an unfortunate superficiality to many of the observations that further suggests most artists should stay far away from the realm of PR-dictated addendums and footnotes and let their work speak for itself." Of the film itself, Uhlich praises it at the expense of LA Confidential, which he denigrates for its "Classics Illustrated mannerisms." Instead, he praises "De Palma's expert navigation of its frighteningly finite space. This is a fever dream vision of the City of Angels, the shared nightmare of its principal players whose every move, we realize in retrospect, is helplessly preordained." The Black Dahlia is also, it turns out, "one of the finest Cinemascope films of recent years," and "what prevents the transfer from getting perfect marks is the shaky rendering of certain digital fadeouts and effects: see, for example, the distracting white lines dancing across the black shadow obscuring the murderer's face during the central staircase set piece." As usual, Gary W Tooze at DVD Beaver prefers to restrict himself to an account of the film's technical specs, but does allow: "I was entertained but can see how the typical reaction is so staunchly negative. Being a Noir devotee, we often feel starved for even a hint of the dark cinema style - and although De Palma's effort is far from perfect, I think it was a fair attempt. His penchant for exploitive obviousness is in full tow. Like myself, some may get off on the performances and seedy LA atmosphere." Of Universal's 2.35:1 transfer, Tooze notes that it is "progressive and appears to be faithful to the shadow-filtered intent of the theatrical, moody, atmosphere. It has the appearance of a black-boosted transfer but no untoward edge-enhancement is noticeable."
"At his best, [Luc] Moullet is a brilliantly funny critic, reducing the clich�s of the war film (The Smugglers) or the western (A Girl Is a Gun) to a cranky minimalism in which a handful of characters struggle across harsh, mountainous landscapes while carrying out their genre-mandated duties with a minimum of enthusiasm and surface emotion." Dave Kehr picks the highlights of this week's DVD releases. In the New York Observer, Charles Taylor admires "a model of how to do a reissue. A Get Smart collection should feel like a sleek gadget, and the handsome presentation, bounteous extras and crisp remastering accomplish just that." A Scanner Darkly is "a hilarious, psychedelic picaresque masquerading as a tragic cautionary tale," writes New Republic senior editor Christopher Orr. "Another (relatively) recent DVD release in which the tale and the telling are at odds is A Prairie Home Companion."

SynthEyes 1212 is out
(Since last reported)
- multiple camera views, for simplified and accelerated stereo workflow
- advanced disk caching, especially for SSD and RAID disk systems, complementing the existing RAM cache
- a Community Translation Project system
- Python scripting for enterprise customers
- a new uniform distribution algorithm for the Add Many Trackers operation
- movie-file-reading improvements including a new Windows Media Foundation (WMF) file reader, and frame timestamp caching for the WMF and the OS X QuickTime reader to speed movie reopen times.
- a new Linearize phase for forcibly straightening arbitrarily-oriented dolly moves
- a new 'Matrix' object type, which helps check camera paths
- a Lidar file importer
The multiple camera views and disk caching features enhance SynthEyes's capabilities to efficiently handle and track stereo material, even long 4K stereo shots. The disk cache can bring large shots located across a network, or that require lengthy decompression, onto a fast local SSD or RAID drive, storing them in a format that works efficiently with the computer's virtual memory system. Both stereo images can be examined and tracked at once, and both sets of trackers monitored simultaneously with SynthEyes's SimulTrack windows.
The "bring your own python" client/server approach lets SynthEyes Python be transparently embedded into other 3D applications or into user-interface packages such as PySide or PyQT. Python programs have simultaneous direct access to both applications, without the need to set up communications channels or interchange file formats. Python support is an optional feature available to enterprise customers.

Umatilla National Forest Overview
Deep in Eastern Oregon lies a 1.4-million-acre forest called "Umatilla" by local Native Americans, which means, "water rippling over sands." An odd name, to be sure, for an inland forest. But after a visit here you'll come to believe this national forest was named appropriately. The Blue Mountains cover this area like a sea of timbered slopes sprawling across ridges and valleys alike.
Like Lewis and Clark and Oregon Trail pioneers before you, exploration of the Umatilla will bring you to untamed wildlife, wild rivers and wilderness.
Hike a National Caliber Trail
It's not every day the whole family can enjoy a trail of national distinction, but the Jubilee Lake National Recreation Trail allows just that. This gentle trail provides fantastic views of Jubilee Lake and the surrounding region, as well as nearby campgrounds and great fishing once you reach Jubilee Lake. Rare Oregon bird species inhabit the area, so encourage the kids to raise their eyes from the trail to the trees.
Bike South Fork Desolation Trail
Ride through beautiful meadows and tackle challenging terrain on the 8.1-mile South Fork Desolation Trail in the North Fork John Day Ranger District. Keep your eyes peeled for the area's diverse collection of birds.
Raft a Wild and Scenic River
The North Fork John Day River seems to please everyone. Whereas its lower sections are appropriate for the novice floater, the upper sections cater to more seasoned rafters, the kind who aren't happy unless water is lapping into the boat. The rapids of this Wild and Scenic River continue for 40 miles through deep canyons cut by side creeks. The most popular part of the river is from Dale to Monument, where the rapids range from Class II to Class III.
Scan for Feathered Friends
More than 200 of the bird species that can be found across the Northwest reside in or pass through Umatilla National Forest at some point in the year. Pileated woodpeckers, mountain bluebirds, and western tanagers are among the more colorful species on display, as well as bald eagles, great gray owls, Steller's jay, and three-toed woodpeckers. The best viewing is at Bridge Creek Flats, Jubilee Lake, or Upper Olive.
Drive Blue Mountain Scenic Byway
For mile upon mile of classic Northwestern scenery, drive the 130-mile Blue Mountain Scenic Byway. If the urge to stretch your legs hits, then pull over at The Oregon Trail, the Wild and Scenic John Day River, or the North Fork John Day Wilderness for a detour on foot.

All carriage charges will be agreed with the customer for each individual order if they differ from the standard published charges. Any carriage charge made is a contribution towards the total costs of shipping, packing and handling and is referred to simply as 'Carriage' throughout the site. A Carriage Calculator is provided online for your convenience when you reach the checkout, so you will always know the cost before you commit to the order.
Stock Items can normally be despatched the same day for orders received by 2:00 p.m. Non Stock items that are normally available to us next working day must be ordered by 2:00 p.m. in order to be certain that we can receive them in time. We will quote estimated delivery dates for Non Stock items when accepting an order.
We will make every effort to expedite orders received outside these deadlines the same day, but cannot guarantee to succeed. Customers will of course be given advice on estimated despatch and delivery times when orders are placed, and confirmation of shipping will be despatched if an email address is provided by the customer.
Carriage Methods
Standard carriage will use the most appropriate method for the size, weight, and mass of the order. This may be letter post, parcel post, or a courier delivery, and for very large orders a pallet service. The choice of service will be made by Leads Direct only.
If a customer wishes to choose the service used they can do so either by instructing our staff by telephone or by entering the request on the form when placing the order. If for any reason we are unable to use the requested service we will contact you for instructions. Obviously if the customer is unavailable shipping will be delayed until we have received instructions. Please note that if the cost of shipping the product by your choice of service is higher than the cost of the service that would normally have been used then a surcharge may be payable to offset those additional costs.
Customers may use their own carrier account if they wish. Leads Direct staff will liaise with the customer's Courier company to arrange the collection and delivery as long as we are provided with the necessary details and authorisation. There is no charge made by Leads Direct for this service, but of course your own carrier will charge you in accordance with your contract for the service they provide.
Carriage Charges
Carriage charges are based on the total weight of the order and are subject to VAT at the prevailing rate.
Important Note: All types of delivery refer to the service used, not to the date or time when the goods will be received. For example, a next working day delivery will be shipped by a next working day service and should arrive the next working day after shipment. The goods may not necessarily ship the same day as the order is placed if the order is received after 2:00 pm, if goods are not delivered to us in time to ship, if the products have to be manufactured for you, or due to other circumstances beyond our control.
Highlands and Islands, International and other addresses may be subject to a surcharge and a quotation will be given on request.
Please note the following important points relating to UK Mainland deliveries via our main courier UK Mail:
- It is vital to ensure that someone is available to sign for the goods at the address you give when placing your order between the hours of 7:00 am and 5:30 pm on the day of delivery. You will be advised when to expect delivery.
- If a delivery fails because there is nobody to sign for the parcel, a card should be left with a contact number so that you can book an alternative delivery, or if you prefer arrange to visit your local branch to collect the parcel. If you do not contact the courier the same day a second delivery attempt will normally be made free of charge on the following business day.
- Each delivery attempt after the second will attract a further charge of £3.00 +VAT.
- If you do not make suitable arrangements with the carrier by the fifth working day and the goods are still undelivered they will be returned to us incurring an additional charge of £4.50+VAT (up to 5kg) or £6.50+VAT (up to 10kg). Heavier shipments incur higher charges.
- A further carriage charge is payable if you then want the goods shipped back out to you.
- Any additional charges incurred by us as a result will be charged to your account automatically.
If you should have any queries on carriage costs please feel free to email firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone 08448 155 955 (Lo-call local rate. multiple lines) to speak to a sales professional.

Keynote DescriptionChildren who have experienced early adversity, such as foster care, neglect, and institutional care, often have difficulties regulating behavior and physiology. We have designed an intervention that targets these issues. The intervention, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up, helps caregivers behave in nurturing ways to enhance children's attachment organization, and provide a responsive, engaged interpersonal environment so as to enhance children's attention and self-regulatory capabilities. Evidence regarding the effectiveness of the intervention will be presented along with description of the intervention, and videotaped vignettes.
