and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;
Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
5:6-11 Christ died for sinners; not only such as were useless, but such as were guilty and hateful; such that their everlasting destruction would be to the glory of God's justice. Christ died to save us, not in our sins, but from our sins; and we were yet sinners when he died for us. Nay, the carnal mind is not only an enemy to God, but enmity itself, chap. 8:7; Col 1:21. But God designed to deliver from sin, and to work a great change. While the sinful state continues, God loathes the sinner, and the sinner loathes God, Zec 11:8. And that for such as these Christ should die, is a mystery; no other such an instance of love is known, so that it may well be the employment of eternity to adore and wonder at it. Again; what idea had the apostle when he supposed the case of some one dying for a righteous man? And yet he only put it as a thing that might be. Was it not the undergoing this suffering, that the person intended to be benefitted might be released therefrom? But from what are believers in Christ released by his death? Not from bodily death; for that they all do and must endure. The evil, from which the deliverance could be effected only in this astonishing manner, must be more dreadful than natural death. There is no evil, to which the argument can be applied, except that which the apostle actually affirms, sin, and wrath, the punishment of sin, determined by the unerring justice of God. And if, by Divine grace, they were thus brought to repent, and to believe in Christ, and thus were justified by the price of his bloodshedding, and by faith in that atonement, much more through Him who died for them and rose again, would they be kept from falling under the power of sin and Satan, or departing finally from him. The living Lord of all, will complete the purpose of his dying love, by saving all true believers to the uttermost. Having such a pledge of salvation in the love of God through Christ, the apostle declared that believers not only rejoiced in the hope of heaven, and even in their tribulations for Christ's sake, but they gloried in God also, as their unchangeable Friend and all-sufficient Portion, through Christ only.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 8. - But God commendeth his own love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. The emphatic "his own" is lost sight of in the Authorized Version. It is not in contrast to our love to God, but expressive of the thought that the love of God himself towards men was displayed in the death of Christ. This is important for our true conception of the light in which the mysterious doctrine of the atonement is regarded in Holy Scripture. It is not (as represented by some schools of theologians) that the Son, considered apart from the Father, offered himself to appease his wrath - as seems to be expressed in the lines, "Actus in crucem factus es Irato Deo victima" - but rather that the Divine love itself purposed from eternity and provided the atonement, all the Persons of the holy and undivided Trinity concurring to effect it (cf. Romans 3:24; Romans 8:32; Ephesians 2:4; 2 Thessalonians 2:16: John 3:16; 1 John 4:10, et al.). If it be asked how this Divine love, displayed in the atonement, and therefore previous to it, is consistent with what is elsewhere so continually said of the Divine wrath, we answer that the ideas are not irreconcilable. The wrath expresses God's necessary antagonism to sin, and the retribution due to it, inseparable from a true conception of the Divine righteousness; and as long as men arc under the dominion of sin they are of necessity involved in it: But this is not inconsistent with ever-abiding Divine love towards the persons of sinners, or with an eternal purpose to redeem them. It may be added here that the passage Before us intimates our Lord's essential Deity; for his sacrifice of himself is spoken of as the display of God's own love.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
But God commendeth his love towards us,.... That is, he hath manifested it, which was before hid in his heart; he has given clear evidence of it, a full proof and demonstration of it; he has so confirmed it by this instance, that there is no room nor reason to doubt of it; he has illustrated and set it off with the greater lustre by this circumstance of it,
in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. God's elect were sinners in Adam, in whom they were naturally and federally, as all mankind were; hence polluted and guilty; and so they are in their own persons whilst unregenerate: they are dead in sin, and live in it, commit it, are slaves unto it, and are under the power and dominion of it; and many of them are the chief and vilest of sinners; and such they were considered when Christ died for them: but are not God's people sinners after conversion? yes; but sin has not the dominion over them; their life is not a course of sinning, as before; and besides, they are openly justified and pardoned, as well as renewed, and sanctified, and live in newness of life; so that their characters now are taken, not from their worse, but better part. And that before conversion is particularly mentioned here, to illustrate the love of God to them, notwithstanding this their character and condition; and to show that the love of God to them was very early; it anteceded their conversion; it was before the death of Christ for them; yea, it was from everlasting: and also to express the freeness of it, and to make it appear, that it did not arise from any loveliness in them; or from any love in them to him; nor from any works of righteousness done by them, but from his own sovereign will and pleasure.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
8. But God commendeth—"setteth off," "displayeth"—in glorious contrast with all that men will do for each other.
his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners—that is, in a state not of positive "goodness," nor even of negative "righteousness," but on the contrary, "sinners," a state which His soul hateth.
Christ died for us—Now comes the overpowering inference, emphatically redoubled.
Romans 5:8 Additional Commentaries
Christ's Sacrifice for the Ungodly
…7For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. 8But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.…

Tools needed:
- ShopBot
- 1/2 in single flute bit
- A design
- CAD to CAM software (in this case, VCarve Pro 6.0)
- Chisel
- Mallet
Step 1: Machine and File Prep
So I cut these with an initial PROFILE, and the a FINISH cut.
Once your file is set up and ready for a cut file to be created now you have to set your bit and feeds and speeds for each cutting path.
Step 2: Initial Profile Bit
- 1/2 inch bit
- 14000 rpm
- 2.25 inches/second feed rate
These are what I found yielded a nice chip out and wasn't too rough on the machine or the tooling.
Step 3: Initial Profile Path Setup
What I do to keep the parts stable in the whole sheet and also maximize vacuum until the pieces are totally cut out is I cut the profile but leave a 1/32 on the bottom so it doesn't quite go all the way through.
And for this initial profiling path I also offset the cut 1/32 of an inch larger so the final pass goes in and shaves the final 1/32 off the side and the bottom on a full depth pass.
Step 4: Finish Profile Bit
- 1/2 inch bit
- 18000 rpm
- 1 inch/second feed rate
This profiling will yield a much smoother edge finish because the bit is faster and it is feeding slower so it contacts the material more times. Depending on your tooling you might have to adjust this because it will want to melt the plastic and gunk up your bit and the edge, so be careful.

A native of the Bronx, Drag-On (born Mel Jason Smalls) overcame a tumultuous adolescence – including abandonment, drug-selling and homelessness – to find his way into the music industry as a teenage emcee.
In 2000 amid Ruff Ryders' musical dominance in the streets, Drag-On released his first album, Opposite of H20. Boosted by the hit singles "Spit These Bars" (featuring Swizz Beatz) and "Niggaz Die 4 Me" (featuring DMX), Opposite of H2O was a success, selling 700,000 copies and peaking at #5 on the Billboard Top 200 and #2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts.
As the young spitfire of the Ruff Ryders family, Drag-On became a mainstay on various double-R projects including numerous DMX albums, the Ruff Ryders compilation Ryde or Die Vol.1(1999), the L.O.X's We Are the Streets (2000), Eve's Let There Be Eve (1999) as well as D J Clue's The Professional (1998).
On the heels of a successful musical debut, Drag-On launched a film career, landing co-starring roles alongside DMX and Steven Segal in Exit Wounds (2001) and Cradle 2 The Grave (2003) featuring DMX and Jet-li. He also appeared in The Hustle (2003), starring Ed Lover and Doctor Dre.
Drag's second album, Hell and Back, came in 2004 and debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums charts. The CD depicted a darker side of the artist and included personal tales of his mother's battle with throat cancer, street fights and losing unborn twins to a miscarriage. However, the momentum Hell and Back had built was halted suddenly in 2004, when Drag was slapped with a million dollar lawsuit stemming from a road rage incident that left an NYC motorist severely injured. The experience proved to be a personal and professional setback for the rapper for a few years.
But not for long. After four years away from music, Drag-On took his career into his own hands and established Hood Environment Records in 2008.
"I'm just trying to create another umbrella in this game and show the industry how it's supposed to be done," says Smalls of his label. "I don't want to sound typical, but we really go hard for our artists."
Drag credits the creation of Hood Environment and the birth of his daughter, Melody, with re-igniting his fire to get back in the studio. In 2008, he recorded the song "School of Hard Knocks," produced by the Individualz and featuring Swizz Beatz. The track signaled his return to the industry and was followed up by several appearances on mixtapes from DJ Big Mike and DJ White Owl and a feature alongside Maino, Talib Kweli, Styles P, Cassidy and Swizz Beatz on the Sean Bell tribute song "Stand Up."
A 2009 appearance on Jadakiss' "Who's Real" remix featuring Swizz, DMX, The Lox and Eve confirmed that Drag-On could still spit flames. Now the TK will make his official comeback with the spring 2010 release of his third album My Life, My Legacy, My Melody on Ruff Ryders Indy/Hood Environment/Fontana. My Life will be Drag's last album on Ruff Ryders, but the artist insists there's no beef.
"Ruff Ryders is family," he says. "They were the first label to give me a chance in this game and I will forever love them for that. But, still, it's my time to branch out and do my own thing."
With production by the likes of Swizz Beatz, Neo da matrixx, Dame Grease, and Avery Chambliss of the Individualz, My Life, My Legacy, My Melody takes the listener through Drag-On's musical history while displaying a new sound and a more mature artist. The album ranges from party-starting tracks like "Dance Over Here, Don't Glance Over Here" to gritty, street anthems like "Metal Spray" to a touching tribute to DMX entitled "Thank You."
"I'm giving people a breakdown of my life and what I've accomplished over the years," says Drag. "This album will show how my lyrical content has stepped up from when I first got with the R to now."
Guests on My Life include Cassidy, AR AB and Hood Environment artists Eyez B and Terror Da Dude. Drag-On maintains that his new sound and role as a CEO will shed new light on his abilities as an artist and businessman. And he plans on being around for a long time -- no matter what life throws at him.
"You can't get rid of me. I live and breathe Hip-Hop, so it's impossible for me to do anything else," he explains. "Drag is back. Drag is here."

Areas of Research Interests
Our research focuses on the role of several neurotransmitter systems in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders. Our early studies focused on glutamate (Glu) and simple excitotoxicity (excessive activation of Glu receptors), as a mechanism that triggers neurodegeneration in acute brain injury conditions such as stroke, head trauma and epilepsy.
More recently we have expanded our focus to include complex excitotoxicity, a newly discovered phenomenon whereby blockade of Glu receptors on inhibitory neurons causes disinhibition of excitatory pathways leading to pathological release of excitotoxic activity from both cholinergic and glutamatergic neurons. We are examining the potential role of complex excitotoxicity in chronic neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and Alzheimers disease.
Most recently we have directed increased attention to developmental mechanisms of neurodegeneration. We have discovered that during synaptogenesis there are several mechanisms by which massive neurodegeneration can be induced in the developing brain. For example, excessive activation of Glu receptors triggers excitotoxic neurodegeneration, and insufficient activation of NMDA Glu receptors or excessive activation of GABAA receptors triggers widespread apoptotic neurodegeneration. Recently we reported (5) that ethanol, which has both NMDA receptor blocking and GABAA receptor activation properties, triggers widespread apoptotic neurodegeneration throughout the developing forebrain during synaptogenesis. This provides an explanation for the reduced brain mass and lifelong neurobehavioral disturbances associated with the human fetal alcohol syndrome and identifies a type of mechanism that may be operative in other developmental neuropathology syndromes as well.

Posted by Craving Montreal on 01/04/2014
Was recently in Montreal and loved the local delicacy, smoked meat. I even brought some back to NYC. When I heard about Mile End, I just had to go to see if it's anything like it is in Montreal. Unfortunately, it's not. The meat was dry and hard and way too salty, like jerky. Nothing succulent about it. Cause I love the concept, I'd give it another shot, but was way too expensive to give them the benefit of a second chance.
Posted by EastVillage OldTimer on 07/28/2012
What a heap of...pretty good meat, actually. Side dishes are rather good as well. Too bad the atmosphere makes you want to join a monastery. The toe-curling pretension of the owners, with their no-seat over-designed trough running right through the tiny room, is just too-too for words. So I have no more. I may do takeout eventually. But for the rest, they can just lose the attitude and concentrate more on customer comfort.

Hausa is an African language originating in Niger and northern Nigeria and spoken widely in West and Central Africa as a trading language. This anthology of Hausa texts (mainly Islamic religious verse and historical narratives) was the first publication supported by the short-lived Hausa Association, formed in 1891 to promote the study of the Hausa language and people. Under its aegis the Reverend C. H. Robinson went on to produce a Hausa Grammar in 1897 and a Dictionary in 1899, making great advances in Western knowledge of the language, despite the fact that some in the field criticised him for his relatively short exposure to Hausa-speaking countries. With facsimile reproductions of the manuscripts at actual size, the texts collected in this book were the first published specimens of Hausa writing. Each text is transcribed into in roman script and an English translation is given on facing pages.

As Rick notes, think-tank scholars, international diplomats, and ordinary people can all see that Iran engagement has been a bust. Just as Hillary Clinton was touting Iran engagement — despite its failure to unclench any fists — the Iranian mullahs were delivering another slap in the face of the Obami suitors:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ordered his country's atomic agency on Sunday to begin the production of higher enriched uranium, a move that's likely to deepen international skepticism about the country's real intentions on the crucial issue of enriched uranium.
While Clinton prattles on about an open door, and the Foggy Bottom spokesmen reference vague consequences to befall the Iranians if they don't start demonstrating their desire to "join the community of nations" (or something like that), the resident grown-up in the Obama administration, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, was signaling that the jig is up for engagement. ("Speaking to reporters during a weeklong European tour, Mr. Gates said that 'if the international community will stand together and bring pressure' on Iran, 'I believe there is still time for sanctions to work.'") But even Gibbs is compelled to parrot the Obama line that those crippling sanctions can't be too crippling because the Iranian people might get mad at us. (Really, do supporters of the administration's policy suppose that the democracy advocates marching and dying in the streets have not figured out the source of their oppression?)
The latest development follows only a week after the Iranians were seen trying to lure us back to the bargaining table. Well, never mind that. Another week and another threat:
In what was interpreted to be a possible shift of policy on a major issue, Mr. Ahmadinejad said last week he was ready to export his country's low-enriched uranium for higher enrichment abroad, saying Iran had "no problem" with the plan. Sunday's comments, however, appeared to justify the skepticism with which his Tuesday's comments were met by world leaders.
Mr. Salehi, the head of the Iranian atomic energy agency, later appeared to play down the significance of Mr. Ahmadinejad's comments. He told the official IRNA news agency the president was giving a "preparedness order" so Iran would be ready to enrich its uranium if the exchange with the West fails to take place.
He said the higher enrichment would be carried out in facilities in the central Iranian town of Natanz.
It takes a lot of foot-dragging and indifference to all available evidence for the Obami to maintain their fixation on negotiation and to delay imposition of any serious sanctions that might impact the regime's nuclear ambitions. You would think a full month after the self-imposed end-of-year deadline, which followed the self-imposed September deadline, the Obama team would finally get serious. But no.
As a sharp Capitol Hill adviser described Clinton's embarrassing outing on Sunday: "I'm sure that she has a sure fire containment strategy ready." That, unfortunately, is where I suspect they are heading — having frittered a year away, whittled down sanctions, and disparaged any military option. After all, Clinton told us the nuclear threat from Iran really isn't our primary consideration. We'll see if Obama goes down in history as the president who allowed the revolutionary Islamic regime to go nuclear and who let the Iranian democracy movement die on the vine. Quite a legacy that would be.

Higher prize promotes quality and attracts more designers, resulting in more variations for your new Website Design. Customize your Website Design contest and see final price by clicking Start a Contest button - You will not be charged until you decide to make your project live.
What if I do not like any entries?
We offer 100% Money Back Guarantee policy which, unlike other portals, refunds 100% of what you paid. If you don't like any of the design entries we will refund 100% of your payment.
Do I get Website Design's copyrights transferred to me?
Yes, every graphic design made here at DesignContest will have Design Copyrights transferred to the client from the designer, unless opted out by client.
Can I protect my Website Design project with the Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA)?
Yes, as part of the enhanced privacy feature client can have all who access their Website Design project agree to the Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
I need full brand identity package - logo, business card, letterhead, powerpoint slide template and maybe a website design too
We suggest you start with logo design contest first, define you new design style, then move forward with your business cards and other designs you may need reflecting your new brand identity, colors and theme. You can even ask your contest's winning designer who really understands your style requirements to complete the rest of the designs through the One-on-One project. You may also start with Logo & Business Cards design contest, which would result in logo & business cards design package.
What if I'm not sure exactly what I want?
You've come to the right place! One of the biggest benefits of DesignContest crowdsourcing platform is the amount of choice and unique Website Designs you will receive with your contest. You can then look through to find elements or entire designs that catch your eye and work with the designers towards that perfect Website Design.
Should I run a contest or just hire a designer?
Maybe the most difficult part is finding the designer who really understands your needs and design style requirements. This is why it is best to start a contest, find your winner and (as enjoyed by many here) continue working with your designer through One-on-One project individually. We make it easy, simple and fast for anybody to find their designers and get the unique graphic design done in the most efficient way.
How many entries can I expect in my Website Design contest?
The number of entries to expect is often determined by your Website Design contest budget. Other customizations like for example Multiple Prizes, Guaranteed Contest and Featured Contest will attract more designers and promote creativity. You can see approximate expected number of design based on your budget and all available Website Design contest's modification and promotions by clicking Start a Contest (no payment is required).
What should I include in Website Design contest details?
The contest Brief details should ultimately tell the designers what you need in your Website Design. Things like your company history, what do you want the design to reflect, how and where the design will be used, what designs or styles you like and don't like out there, is very helpful to the designers. When starting the contest our easy brief wizard will take you through all the steps that you need to have the complete Website Design brief.
Can I upload images to show designers?
Yes! You can upload images and other files for the designers when you start your contest or you can add these files to your contest brief after your contest goes live.
Can I ask for modifications after I receive the Website Design source files?
Absolutely! Most contest holder's take about a week to ask for modifications to their Website Design. Once you are happy with the source files, you can close the contest completely and release the funds to the designer.
How long will it take to get the Website Design source files, after I choose a winner?
After you have chosen a winner, the designer has 24 hours to prepare and send you the Website Design source files.

I don't want rockers, Rock oriented things(guitars, hairbands, etc), or photos of people (if you do feel the need to put a person for creative purposes, make it subtle, a silhouette, shadow etc. and not a photo of a person that can be identified.) I am a music producer and engineer near Tampa, FL. I work mainly with hip hop, pop, R&B, and electronic music. My official website, which will be www.LetoBeats.com will be a place to showcase my music, purchase instrumentals, watch videos, bio, news, photos etc etc.

I am also looking to get a new logo, which would be branded to be cohesive with my website and social media designs; something on the simpler side, clean but creative, professional, with a little bit of texture and depth.. My current logo is on the main page of dougleto.com, and other current logo I use is on the intro of this video, https://youtu.be/wHbUFq05sLk ..Both of those logos would be retired and the new logo would become the official "Leto Beats" logo.

On Tuesday, we should know if the Monroe County Legislature will approve a plan to move MCC's downtown campus out of the Sibley building.
The legislature is expected to vote to approve the move from the college's current location at the Sibley building to Old Kodak Property on State Street.
Despite a proposal from the Sibley building's new owner, who says he can save county taxpayers $18 million by keeping the campus there.
The county says the price of the Sibley building is more expensive per square foot and says it still supports the plan of moving the campus.
The legislature is scheduled to vote on the bonding for the new campus Tuesday night.

A pioneering approach to cancer treatment
Mar 14, 2013 1 comment
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is considered to be one of the leading hospitals in the US – in terms of both patient care and its cutting-edge medical research. In this short film, Physics World visits the MGH to meet the chief of the hospital's physics division, Thomas Bortfeld, who describes the hospital's pioneering cancer treatments at its proton-therapy centre. Bortfeld also shares his thoughts on what it is like to move from an academic research setting to the dynamic environment of a working hospital.

I have found myself recently inordinately happy...about nothing at all really. Just little moments during my day with a good cup of coffee or a Christmas song playing or the sight of a kitten in a windowsill soaking in all the Wintery sights outside. And it just makes my heart jump for joy in a completely unexpected way. I don't know if it's that life's challenges make the sweet things seem all the sweeter or if it's something as simple as some kind of hormonal shift - but I'll take it! Being happy is always a very good thing. :0)

|We're Back!
|[ 12/21/09 by Mhaddy ]
After a much, much longer outage than expected, the Canadianclassicchevy.com site is back online. I won't bore you with the technical details but suffice to say, getting the site operational took a little bit of work and I'm thankful that it is now live again.
In early 2010, I will be putting a new site together with more community-driven features that will allow you (our members!) to contribute to the content and make the site a more interactive place to visit.
In the interim, if you have any suggestions or would like to help out, please let me know.

now this might be interesting. If next year is uncapped and with Moss's contract expiring after next year would the Pats be willing to give him an extension worth slightly less then what they gave Moss in 07'? If so why not try to trade back #22 for an earlish 2nd and 3rd pick and flipping the 3rd for Boldin.
I wasn't for getting Boldin to begin with (thinking it would take the 1st and a pricy contract) but if they are looking for a 3rd that sounds like a steal.

|Increase Multi-Language Productivity with Document Translator
The Document Translator app and the associated source code demonstrate how Microsoft Translator can be integrated into enterprise and business workflows. The app allows you to rapidly translate documents, individually or in batches, with full fidelity—keeping formatting such as headers and fonts intact, and allowing you to continue editing if necessary. Using the Document Translator code and documentation, developers can learn how to incorporate the functionality of the Microsoft Translator cloud service into a custom workflow, or add extensions and modifications to the batch translation app experience. Document Translator is a showcase for use of the Microsoft Translator API to increase productivity in a multi-language environment, released as an open source project on GitHub. Whether you are writing in Word, pulling together the latest numbers into Excel, or creating presentations in PowerPoint, documents are at the center of many of your everyday activities. When your team speaks multiple languages, quick and efficient translation is essential to your organization's communication and productivity. Microsoft Translator already brings the speed and efficiency of automatic translation to Office, Yammer, as well as a number of other apps, websites and workflows. Document Translator uses the power of the Translator API to accelerate the translation of large numbers of Word, PDF*, PowerPoint, or Excel documents into all the languages supported by Microsoft Translator. Additionally, Document Translator highlights several key features of the Translator API that were designed with businesses and developers in mind: enable the no-trace option on your translated content by using your no-trace enabled Client ID in situations that require greater privacy, and connect to the Microsoft Translator Hub to create your own custom translation system using your organization's and industry's unique terminology. These features are available to anyone creating custom products and apps with the Translator API. To get started with Document Translator and to begin developing your own apps, all you need is credentials for the Microsoft Translator API. To run the app, you will just need to input your credentials in the Settings tab. If you are new to the API, sign up for your free 2 million character per month subscription to the API by going to the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, or get detailed instructions on Translator MSDN. Download the Document Translator's open source code and demonstrator app Learn More: Get Started with Microsoft Translator Microsoft Translator Developer Forums Translator Products Using Microsoft Translator for Organizational Readiness * For pdf support, Office 2013 or above needs to be installed on the computer where you run the compiled app. Not needed for the other formats. Please also note that the translated pdfs will be saved as Word documents. You can then use Word to convert them back to pdf or use any pdf printer available on the market.

|Skype Translator Introduces Speech-to-Speech Translation in French and German
Today, Skype Translator introduces speech-to-speech translation for French and German. Skype Translator users can now make translated calls in near real time in 6 different languages: Chinese Mandarin, English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Additionally, Skype Translator can be used to IM in all 50 languages supported by Microsoft Translator. If you have Windows 8 or above, you can download Skype Translator to try them out for yourself at www.skype.com/translator. Don't forget that you only need to have Skype Translator installed on your computer to make a call-- your friends and family can receive translated calls on almost any device running Skype. In the time since Skype Translator launched, it has connected people throughout the world and helped break down the communication barriers that separate us. In Latin America, the organization Pro Mujer uses Skype Translator to provide low income women in Latin America with vital financial, health, and human development services-- helping them to become financially independent, healthy, and leaders in their communities. In China, it has helped foreign nationals work and converse. Using speech recognition and text-to-speech technologies, Skype Translator has proved to not only bridge the language gap, but the accessibility gap as well. Our team has found that Skype Translator can be a new and powerful communication tool for the deaf and hard of hearing. Watch the video below to see how it has already been used by one of our colleagues in a very personal and meaningful way.

For instance, an article about finance might showcase information on related stock prices, or a food article might showcase cooking recipes. The feature was built using advanced neuro-linguistic programming, so completely new search models had to be created if the feature was going to be offered in languages other than English. Using the Translator API, ICE was able to expand this feature into French and German without the time or energy it would take to generate new language-specific models. The API works in the background by automatically translating international content into English, allowing the search to be run on the translated content rather than the original source language. Additional articles and content can then be showcased in the reader's preferred language. The translation service has been in production since October 2014. This has significantly improved the recirculation and click-through of French and German speaking visitors on the site. The related articles seen to the right of the main article on MSN are automatically searched and showcased using the Microsoft Translator API.

Team: MSIT Enterprise Data Services Solution: Readiness, Customer Support In order to improve the automation of their partner incentive payments, the Enterprise Data Services team within Microsoft IT needed a way to quickly convert and standardize partner data profiles from virtually every country around the world in their local languages to Latin character sets. The Microsoft Translator API significantly increased the speed at which foreign language profile data could be converted, representing millions of dollars in partner incentive payments. For example, by using the Translator API over a 20-month period, MSIT was able to improve the integration of Japanese data from a baseline of 25% to over 67%.

Prairie Dog Shooting
Prairie Dog shooting is the perfect outdoor hunting experience to introduce a youth or someone new to the outdoor hunting and or shooting. With lots of action and no pressure to harvest a trophy it is the perfect introduction.
The avid sportsman can hone their hunting skills with a mid summer Prairie dog shoot. Perfect for practicing your long range shooting, prairie dog hunting allows you to shoot at different distances as often as you like. The farther out you shoot, the less likely the dogs are to know what's going on, so they will stand there and let you shoot at them until you hit them or get too close for comfort! Prairie dogs offer sportsmen countless hours of entertainment. One can use Semi auto AR style rifles or bolt action rifles. Cartridges vary but for the most part one needs as flat shooting rifle as possible 204 ruger, 223, 22-250 are probably the most common. Prairie dog shooting will generally allow the shooter to shoot at distances from 100 yards out to and past 1000 yards. Kansas will allow the shooter to take it to the next level and put silencers on their varmint-hunting weapon. You will still need all of the federal permits to purchase and install a silencer on your rifle.
Generally a Prairie Dog town will hold a mixed bag of targets, rabbits, badgers and rattle snakes and of course Prairie Dogs. Early May thru September are the prime shooting months. Prairie dog shooting is also a great family adventure because most schools are out during prime PD shooting months.
For your next summer trip give Prairie Dog shooting a try, chances are you will be hooked on it afterwards.

The Shrimp Scampi was to die for! It was garlicky and zesty with a perfect balance of rice and haricot verts! I am surely going back!
Posted by A Returning Customer on 08/19/2005
I am not a French cuisine connoisseur (by any means), but my overall experience at this restaurant will keep me coming for years to come. It started with our experience with the hostess. She was a young girl with such a welcoming pleasant attitude, right when we walked in, it set the tone for the meal which was to die for! We loved the Steak Tartar and the crab cakes and the bisque was a religious experience. Give it a try - you will not be disappointed.
Posted by Anonymous on 05/22/2005
I spent quite a number of hours at Cafe Un Deux Tois, as it turned out, and it was always wonderful. The food was superb, and the host is a wonderful gentleman who was so solicitous of his guests. I would go there again in a heartbeat! And don't pass up on the pomme frites! The "Jose Fries" are to die for!

..or drinks only. One waitress (to be fair, another was okay) was rude and obvious in trying to get the 2 of to leave immediately after finishing our meals. We had soups each and one wine. This happened twice. Good part: we could express what we thought on the paper table cloth with the crayons provided. The lobster bisque was excellent once and not good the other time, salads are fine, wine overpriced even for the obvious area (priced for tourists).

Took three friends here around the holidays and they all agreed - great meal, atmosphere, and service. Whether I stop by with a date before theater or with friends anytime, we always leave satisfied. The food is good to very good, the service is friendly and effiecient, and the room has a cool buzz about it.
Posted by Nathalie Amkraut on 12/02/2004
Well... Went back to that place with friends and was embarrased. First, they increased the prices, and had the delicacy to give the old menu with the old prices to one of us. The food has changed, portions are smaller - which is not a bad thing, but if I pay more $$, I expect at least the same amount of food in my plate... Service was not great. New waiters with very little experience. Will I go again? Big maybe, probably not.
Posted by Evie Rich on 11/12/2004
I had not visited this restaurant for years; my favorite in this area was The Century which was torn down to make way for a very tall monstrosity. The restaurant was noisy as I remembered it. We were there before the theatre and the noise level increased. The service was poor. Our waitress did not anticipate our needs; she spent her time elsewhere and we had to look for her everytime we wanted something; and to pay the bill as well. The crab cakes were a disappointment. Will I try it again? Probably but I will undoubtedly wait a while.

She is the first Nebraskan ever to be Miss America. For the talent portion of the competition, Teresa performed "White Water Chopped Sticks" on the piano.
Along with the Miss America crown, Miss Scanlon wins a $50,000 scholarship, and will see the entire United States in her year representing Miss America. She will travel approximately 20,000 miles each month speaking to audiences about her platform of Eating Disorders: A Generation at Risk, and acting as the National Goodwill Ambassador for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. In addition, Miss America 2011 will be the official spokesperson for Joseph Ribkoff International Clothing Company, who will provide Teresa with a full wardrobe for the year.
In the future, Teresa plans to attend law school, become a judge, and eventually pursue politics. When asked what her opinion was about the recent Wikileaks scandal, she said that she firmly believed the nation's security came before a citizen's right to know. Teresa will be a student at Patrick Henry College this year.
The first runner-up was Miss Arkansas Alyse Eady who earned a $25,000 scholarship. Her talent performance was Vocal-Ventriloquism to "I want to be a Cowboy's Sweetheart" and her personal platform is Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

2013 Report on Project Work - Workers' Rights
Our Workers' Rights Project strives to enforce and expand policies that ensure safe workplaces, fair treatment, a living wage and a strong safety net in times of hardship. That work was never more important than in 2013.
The Justice Center led a major campaign to prevent cuts to unemployment benefits for workers out of work through no fault of their own and to prevent the loss of millions in federal funding for long term unemployment benefits for North Carolina workers. To educate the public, policymakers and the press about the critical role of the unemployment insurance system, we undertook a multi-strategy effort, the Tar Heel Workers Campaign. Using modern tools like information graphics and social media—as well as classic tactics like lobbying—the project helped countless North Carolinians learn about and take action to prevent a devastating blow to our state's social safety net. Unfortunately, new legislation brought cuts to benefits and eligibility. The Justice Center is assessing and reporting the impact of the changes and continuing to fight for North Carolina's jobless workers.
Though the loss of vital benefits was the biggest fight of 2013, the Justice Center fought to improve the well-being of working families in other ways as well. Our Workers' Rights project hosted "Know Your Rights" trainings for over 160 workers on a variety of topics, and met with more than 250 farmworkers to provide information about their legal rights. The Justice Center also monitored legislation requiring mandatory drug testing for all Temporary Assistance for Needy Families recipients and applicants, which would have placed additional financial burdens on struggling families who receive assistance. In response to this legislation we produced a report outlining the constitutional issues raised and estimating the cost of implementing the proposal. Our work helped to ensure that the legislation ultimately passed required reasonable suspicion of drug use before a recipient could be subjected to testing. The Justice Center continues to closely monitor the implementation of this new law to ensure that it is fairly and lawfully applied.
The Justice Center's Workers' Rights project partnered with UNC Law School's Human Rights Clinic to interview workers from several industries in the Triangle about their experiences with wage theft. Our 2013 report, "Wage Theft: North Carolina's Hidden Crime Wave," highlighted this significant problem for low wage workers in the state.
Continuing their work to ensure that employers comply with minimum wage and overtime laws, Justice Center attorneys received final approval for settlement of a case brought on behalf of 200 seafood workers and distributed over $200,000 to those workers. In 2013 we also filed suit against a landscaping company and large sweet potato and tobacco farms in eastern North Carolina to recover back wages for employees and former employees.

I am planning an impromptu trip with my wife and two young kids next week. We love the parks and we figured that we would have a good time with our toddler, even if he is quite young for most of the attractions. It has been almost three years since we went to the park and it is time for some Disnification.
1) Is there a height limit for Pirates (he is not scared of the dark)?
2) How long do you have to wait for the world of color show before it starts?
3) How cold is it in the parks right now?
4) What are your toddlers favorite rides?
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Would You Ride A Bicycle Made Out Of Cardboard? [VIDEO]
No, I haven't totally lost my mind - yet. This is for real. A guy has invented a bicycle made of CARDBOARD, and you can buy one for $20.00 if he has his way.
No, I haven't totally lost my mind - yet. This is for real. A guy has invented a bicycle made of CARDBOARD, and you can buy one for $20.00 if he has his way.
"Meet George Jetson, Jane His Wife"... What a great theme song, and what a great old cartoon that was. But what made that show more amazing was how they could forsee some of the inventions that we have today
These guys on this morning show of ours drive me nuts. They keep busting my chops constantly about my constantly advancing age (as if theirs DOESN'T advance). I keep telling them that we all advance at the same rate, it's just that I had a head start. I decided to embrace the fact. I've even researched just how old I really am
This invention is much more in Sean and Levack's wheelhouse than in mine. I'm more of a wine guy. But if you are a beer lover, and a lazy one at that, this is for you. All you need is an iPhone and a robot controlled refrigerator.
I should break into a chorous of "Don't Laugh At Me", by Mark Wills. Once again, I got shot down on our show. But I don't take it personally. They all laughed at Christopher Columbus and Tom Edison too! This is a great idea, and like all great ideas, people poke holes in it! I'll show these naysayers a thing or two someday!
What a strange topic for a blog, right? I know. I kind of agree. But on the other hand, this excites me. A guy who looked at a powerstrip and said "enough!" There's got to be a better way!

Lippmann Collection Superstar Nail Lacquer Review, Photos, Swatches
Lippmann Collection Superstar Nail Lacquer ($35.00 for 3 0.5 oz. lacquers) is another shade that's part of Lippmann Collection "Celebrate" Nail Set. It also includes Ruby Red Slippers and Funky Chunky (which is similar to Ruby Red Slippers, except it's a black jelly base with black glitter).
While I don't love Superstar quite as much as Ruby Red Slippers, I do love it quite a bit! The black-brown jelly base with the small-sized muted copper-orange glitter particles looks ridiculously perfect for the fall/Halloween. In fact, as soon as I finish up swatching up a few more polishes I've been meaning to review, I'm going to be doing an alternating manicure of Ruby Red Slippers and Superstar for Halloween. Ahh, so perfect!
Superstar goes opaque and full-on glitter within two medium-thick coats of lacquer, and it dries pretty fast, actually, even without a fast drying top coat.
As with any glitter polish, removal isn't the easiest or quickest, but I consider it something that just goes with the territory. I know some dislike the clean-up rituals associated with glitter polishes, but I didn't find it too time consuming or difficult. My technique is to take a cotton pad soaked in remover and let it sit on my nail for about 2-3 seconds (just press the pad against the nail), then move to another nail, repeat… and then go back and remove the polish.
Superstar is currently only available in the Celebrate Set, so value-wise, it's a good deal, since you get three for $35, rather than $16 a pop.
If you want to know more about how products are evaluated, read out Rating System FAQ!
- Product: 28/30
- Value: 9/10
- Ease of Use: 4/5
- Packaging: 4/5
Recommendation: I'm slowly falling in love with Lippmann lacquers. The glitter is so sparkly and glitzy–I die! If you love glitter, this is a great set.
