Based on this scoring system I guess, but Robbie kicked his ass.
Right. Robbie kicked his ass, for about 11 minutes. And Johnny kicked Robbie's ass for about 14 minutes.
Awesome fight.
Are they already hyping up McDonald for a titleshot? haha
BTW, did Rogan just call Hendricks the perfect champion? WTF???
What a let down to a hell of a fight.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
They just played the highlights and all the highlights were Robbie except for the 5th. Guess the judges liked the high activity rate from Hendricks even though nothing was landing clean.
Hitting the sack now. Good night folks.
Fuckin robbery, I feel rd 1 was maybe a draw after rd 2 I figured Robbie had slight edge, Rd 3 I had Lawler rd 4 I had Lawler even with Hendricks TD rd 5 Johnny for sure but def not 10/8. I had fight 48/47 Robbie with possible SD to Robbie.
I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don't think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they're different genres. I think they're both examples of great craftsmanship.

In addition to the techniques of job-hunting, there are intangible factors to be considered. The following is by no means a complete list. No doubt you will be able to add to it, once you become a successful job seeker in the near future!
A successful job search takes time. It is often said that looking for a job is (or should be) a full-time job in itself. Researching companies, developing a convincing resume and cover letter, and making contact with an adequate number of potential employers all take time. One oft-quoted statistic that illustrates this point is the job-hunting success ratio: you must make 20 contacts with employers to yield even one job offer on average. By the calendar, taking time means that your job search will take several months, 6 on the average (estimates vary).
A successful job search takes energy. This means you must do more than just go through the motions. We all have a limited amount of energy to devote to our daily tasks -- make sure you save some of it for the job search! You might also want to schedule job hunting tasks every day in ways that make sense for you. 'Morning people', for instance, might plan on making cold calls early in the morning (not too early!), saving letter-writing and note-taking for later. Don't be afraid to let up, though, when you need a break and the anxiety of the job search starts getting to you.
A successful job search requires organization. It is impossible to over-estimate the importance of this factor. One method of staying organized is to maintain a folder for each potential employer you have identified, containing contact names and addresses, a record of contacts, and 'next action' notes to yourself. A common mistake in job-hunting is failure to follow-up. If you have indicated in a cover letter that you will be calling on a certain day, you must do so. If an employer has requested additional information such as a college transcript or list of references, respond promptly. Only a well-organized job-seeker can manage the important details.
A successful job search takes persistence. Persistence in the job search can be defined as 'not taking no for an answer.' If you fail to get the job you really wanted and felt qualified for, persist and you might just land it the next time it opens. If many of your direct contacts yield the standard rejection letter, keep in touch with the companies at the top of your list. If you have done your research, you will know which ones are likely to be hiring people with your credentials soon. Persistence in the job search is also an attitude -- don't let the inevitable rejections get you down, and by all means don't take it personally. You will eventually get the job you want -- DON'T STOP BELIEVING IT!
Remember, there is no secret to a successful job search. All it takes is hard work, commitment to the techniques described here, and the occasional (and well-deserved) stroke of good luck. So don't go climbing any mountains in search of wisdom. Life is not a bubble! Good luck in your job search!

Walker Percy (1916-1990)

I'll definitely be giving that a look. I'm a huge fan. I was hooked on Percy as soon as I read LANCELOT (which is still my favorite of his novels).
Link to the thread on 'Walker Percy and The Boss'.
Posted 04 February 2010 - 02:23 PM
The most recent novel I read was The Moviegoer. These are the thoughts that came to me directly after finishing:
Percy strikes notes similar to Love in the Ruins here—disassociation with the modern world, rootlessness, being cut off from the past, living in a kind of grey fog. The final conversation between Binx and his aunt (in V:1) certainly sets off Binx's own rootlessness against his aunt's lionizing of the past. In the end, Binx and Kate find a kind of rootedness in each other—he provides her with courage, and she provides him with purpose—and so represent a kind of third way beyond either Binx's constant quest or his aunt's past-oriented view. There is a sense that the age of heroes has passed, that the giants of the past will not come again, and that all we can do is to try to live fully in the world around us. Binx himself finds meaning in the movies—he is a romantic (like the boy on the bus) but a disillusioned one. He doubts that anything more than flashes of meaning can be seen. But his relationship with Kate gives him a place to rest, and enables him to find a more solid meaning that is found in the flickering images on the cinema screen.
Reading over my reactions, however, I'm not sure that I haven't given the final coming-together of Binx and Kate too optimistically/romantically. The notion of romantic love as something that brings salvation seems too pat, too easy in such an author as Percy. Though, perhaps, he means it to be not-uncomplicated, a kind of ad hoc making-do-with? I would welcome any clarifications/corrections/suggestions on this point.

I am a huge Walker Percy fan. I was introduced to his work over a decade ago, in a university class which was specifically focused on his novels-- and even better, was taught by a practicing Catholic English professor! In the very postmodern atmosphere of that college, not at all amenable to a formerly agnostic English major who was considering a conversion to Catholicism (sadly, the nihilism which I imbibed there probably contributed to my later falling away from the Catholic faith), the Percy class was a genuine haven for me and a few other students. It was an oasis in which both art and faith were taken seriously. If only there had been more of that sensibility on a mid-1990s college campus which was, otherwise, still largely drunk on the "question everything traditional, and rebel against most of it" ethos of the late '60s.
To this day, I am personally grateful to Dr. Tom Woods for teaching that class. He may have been very much the odd man out in the University of Montevallo's far-left English department, but he was a hero to certain students who were willing to question that particular form of "dogma."
Ryan H., Lancelot is also my favorite of Percy's novels. Many people dislike it, even many of his fans, but I see it as being in the tradition of Flannery O'Connor (with much less humor than her though)-- hope and faith are conspicuous by their absence, until grace breaks in quite unexpectedly, as it often does in real life.

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I love almost all of Percy's work--THE SECOND COMING and LOST IN THE COSMOS are my other favorites--but none of them hit me quite as hard as LANCELOT. It's certainly his darkest work, but as you point out, it's not without its touch of grace. Many fail to recognize that LANCELOT is really Percival's story, not Lancelot's (a reading which is suggested by the epigraph from Dante).

I've noticed a lot of adoration for LOVE IN THE RUINS here. I was deeply in love with the book for the first two-thirds, but I didn't really like the last third. I have every intention of giving it another try, though.

Love in the Ruins is probably my third-favorite of Percy's novels, after Lancelot and The Moviegoer. It has been several years since I've read any of his books, but I remember reading LITR and greatly enjoying Percy's humorous (fictionalized, but only to a degree) portraits of some of the goofier aspects of the post-Vatican II Catholic Church in America of that time (hippie priests, wacky theology, etc). However, I can recall almost nothing of the last third of the book, which you mention not liking. I should read the whole thing again soon.
I also really need to give The Last Gentleman another try. In the class that I took, we read all of his novels, and in order, but I was so taken with The Moviegoer that I never gave TLG a fair chance.

Lost in the Cosmos is often characterized as a satire, but thinking about the book now and all of its references to Donahue, Carl Sagan, etc, I realize that it has a lot in common with a novel. There's a gossipy dimension to it that's always been a part of the novel genre (the secret character flaws of scientists). I think especially of the multiple points of view which I know Stephen King does so well. The 'thought experiments' are invitations to put oneself into little bits of narrative. I think, then, that Lost in the Cosmos will be remembered for being a work of satirical and experimental fiction. It has too much daily minutiae and pop culture in it to be a typical philosophical or linguistic work. The semiotic primer throws people a bit, but is not unlike the natural history chapters in Moby Dick. If there is one thing that can be said of LiC, it's that it's more like Percy's novels than like his collection of essays, Message in a Bottle. In MiB, Percy tells us that a student can only discover poetry in a science class. In LiC, Percy uses defamiliarization to enable a reader to begin thinking in fiction with the ploy of a humorous self-help book.

Unnoticed in the shadow of Catch-22′s wings, another book is marking its golden anniversary this year, one that also felt and still feels terribly important to me. I don't remember how I learned that Catch-22 — along with another favorite book of mine, Richard Yates' Revolutionary Road — had lost its bid for the 1962 National Book Award to a slim volume by a man with the strange name of Walker Percy. Literary awards obviously don't constitute the last word on merit, but I was curious to read the book judged superior to touchstones of my young reading life. I didn't get around to The Moviegoer for two years after finishing Catch-22, but when I did, I knew that insofar as book awards have a power of ratification, the National Book Award committee had done its job in 1962. Still, when it comes to great literature, laurels like the NBA are paltry acknowledgments of a book's real power; I found this to be especially true of Percy's book. Catch-22 had been important to me as a student of literature, and Revolutionary Road had been important to my early development as a writer. But The Moviegoer was important to me as a human being. Like few other books I've ever read, it changed me.

The Moviegoer narrates a few days in the life of Binx Bolling, a disaffected young New Orleans man on the eve of his 30th birthday and on the brink of growing up. Describing it in a few words is an empty exercise — this is a novel of nuance and inference, about unarticulated feelings, the fear of malaise, and the life force that simply will not be denied. Percy was thinking hard about Kierkegaard, especially his postulation in Either/Or that "Boredom is the root of all evil… The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings." His exploration of the fault lines between alienation and engagement in The Moviegoer is both strange and exhilarating, with moments of stunning beauty. Percy sets his readers up to refute the assumptions he's handed them: Bolling is a self-identified outsider yet he's very much in the world, and while he goes to the movies to escape, at the same time they bring him to life. There is a moment at a drive-in when Binx is watching a Western — sitting on the warm hood of a car in the company of a new girlfriend and his beloved, disabled half-brother Lonnie — that made me feel as alive as any words on a page ever have[....]

FWIW, The Second Coming is currently $2.99 on Amazon Kindle (in the US, anyway).
Nuts! Missed this post. Thanks for the heads up though.

Of all the principals [Percy] behaved with the greatest aplomb. After accepting the award he returned home to Covington, La., across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, and resumed work on his next novel, The Last Gentleman. In a letter of thanks to Stafford he acquitted Knopf of any neglect and, marveling at the fortuitousness of his situation, reflected on how unlikely the ultimate source of his gratitude was. "If I understand it correctly," Percy wrote, "had it not been for Mr. Liebling (and his recent interest in Louisiana) The Moviegoer might never, would never have been considered. To think then, that if it hadn't been for old Earl, etc. For the first time, I feel kindly toward the Longs."

"Percy and Sagan in the Cosmos"
One fun bit among many:
We are not encouraged to think about how the structures of mediation work because that would cause us to question them and our relation to them. That is, we might start reflecting on the semiotic construction of the self, and begin to see the formation of our selves as problematic, none of which is good for business. American media culture, Percy believed, involves a lunatic oscillation between absolute indulgence of the self (Donahue) and absolute evasion of it (Sagan). Looked at in one way—in any number of ways—Phil Donahue and Carl Sagan have very little in common; looked at in Percy's way, they serve an almost identical function as guides who gently distract us from attention to how we're being formed and how we might be formed differently. Percy's task, therefore, is to bring the self with all its contradictions into proper focus, to subject it to the harsh light of truth.
But he knows that we do not wish to experience this, so he follows Kierkegaard's model of ironic and comical "indirect communication." Percy is to us what Virgil was to Dante, but cannot fulfill that role straightforwardly because of our hostility to anyone who claims moral authority. But maybe a sardonic, foul-mouthed, bourbon-drinking Catholic Virgil is the one we both need and deserve.
And a wonderful conclusion:
Lost in the Cosmos is the most peculiar book of Percy's career, and in my judgment his finest achievement. I read it when it first appeared, and if you had asked me at the time whether I expected the book to be relevant in 30 years, I probably would have said no. It seemed so topical, so of its moment; and how long could that moment last? But re-reading it in preparation for this essay I saw how little it matters that many people today will know nothing or nearly nothing about Phil Donahue or Carl Sagan. Their immediate heirs are with us every day when we turn on the TV. And Walker Percy's social vision remains as acute and discomfiting today as it was in 1983. That says a great deal for him as a writer and cultural critic; but it also, I believe, teaches us that our culture is, in its bones, changing less quickly than we have accustomed ourselves to believe. It's the same old Cosmos, declaring the same old Glory, and we're just as prone to getting lost in it as we ever were.

This may be suited to a different thread, but it's rooted in Walker Percy, so hopefully it's alright if I post it here. There's an interesting reflection in The Atlantic about how the author self identified too much Binx Bolling from The Moviegoer.
But what stuck out to me were these two paragraphs:
Re-reading is essentially a childish act. Kids are serial re-readers. Kids want to return again and again to the world they find in a particular book, to try it on for size, to imagine themselves there, to take a few laps around their alternative world before returning home. Part of the fun is knowing you can make the trip anytime, as many times as you want, and always come back safe.
One of the clichés of literature is that one really can't read the same book twice. The idea is that with each re-reading, the reader brings new experiences, new insights, new emotional depth to the book, thus transforming it. But this credits readers with too much power and books with too little. Certain books have a way of stripping us of the emotional and intellectual armature that is commonly called maturity. One of my friends, for example, once told me that she never has been able to read Winnie the Pooh to her kids without crying.
I agree that re-reading is a childish act, but I view that as one of its best features, whereas the author seems paint it with broad, disapproving strokes. There's a hint of admonition. I can't help but be reminded of Chesterton here, in one of my favourite passages from Orthodoxy:
Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.

Besides the author's criticism of the act of re-reading, this bit struck me. After over a decade of re-reading, "Now, I'm not quite as attracted to Binx's wit, to his charm, to his antic detachment. Now when I read The Moviegoer, I mostly notice the psychic danger just beneath the surface."
Methinks it's a good thing he has re-read the book so much, that he now perceives this.

I am Gus Saper, a fifth generation Houstonian and a third generation Texas A & M "Aggie". I have devoted my 37 year career as a trial lawyer dedicated to criminal defense work. However, over the years as the business world has become more regulated I have found that my practice overlaps with that of a commercial trial lawyer. Often civil litigation involving the SEC, CFTC and other government regulatory agencies is the precursor to criminal charges. Being able to handle civil investigations and litigation as well as the criminal case is essential to a good outcome for the client. I pride myself on being able to do both. While I have dealt with many of these types of cases I continue to represent those accused in both state and federal court with drug possession, money laundering, Medicare fraud, DWI/DUI, family violence offenses, and the like.
My life experiences have helped to prepare me for the practice of law. After two years at Texas A & M I joined VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) often referred to as the domestic Peace Corp. I spent my time with VISTA in Greenville, South Carolina working in minority communities acting as a community organizer and as a head start aide. Following VISTA I went back to A & M where I completed my B.A. in History. In 1974 I received my law degree from South Texas College of Law and immediately started practicing criminal law. The last 19 years of practice have been with my law partner Edward Mallett and just last year we added Tom Berg to the firm.
While I am admitted to practice law here in Texas, I have and continue to take cases around the country. My practice has taken me to St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands to the east and to California and Washington in the west and many places in between. My criminal cases have also taken me to England, Canada and Mexico.
I look forward to assisting you with whatever legal issue you are burdened with and know that if I cannot help you I will know someone who can.

Theyre reminded of that on days like Feb. 5. A total of 15 student-athletes from the two rival schools were honored for their achievements by the Berkeley County School District at an athletic scholarship signing ceremony. The ceremony was held at Berkeley Middle School.
Certainly we want to win football games but the No. 1 priority is to change kids lives and help them be the best they can be they be in all areas of their lives, Reedy said. This is a special day. All of their hard work over the last five or six years is being rewarded. It doesnt matter if its South Carolina, Georgia, Clemson, Limestone, Tusculum or USC Beaufort. Whats important is they can get an education while continuing their athletic careers.
Two of Goose Creeks football players are headed to major universities. Running back Caleb Kinlaw signed with Wisconsin and defensive end Kalan Ritchie inked with the University of South Carolina.
Its always nice to have guys that are recruited at the level, Reedy said. There is a correlation to the success you have on the field and the number of guys you have recruited. Those are guys that are impact players for you.
The other college bound Goose Creek athletes honored were football players Jordan Barnes (Tusculum) and Evan McField (The Citadel). Baseball players Chris Singleton and Cody Smith are headed for CSU, while softball player Bailey Craven is headed for USC Beaufort.
Stratford had eight student-athletes recognized at the ceremony, including quarterback Jacob Park.
Park was an early enrollee at the University of Georgia but returned home for the event. Five other Stratford football players made official commitments on Wednesday: Jordan Johnson (Ga. Military), Sheldon Reid (Limestone), Tyree Scroggins (Limestone), Michael Simmons (CSU) and Cecil Smith (Limestone).
Softball players Kayli Miles (Florence-Darlington Tech) and Madison Ryan (Columbia College) were honored too.
This is a great group, Stackley said. Thats one our of main responsibilities as an athletic director and football coach, to help our athletes use sports to become a vehicle for them to earn a scholarship.
The five football players signing gives the Knights 161 in Stackleys time at the helm.
We keep track of it and try to put it in our program, he said. We want our young kids to see it to show them what can be done. Were very proud of our kids that use sports to get an education.
Both Stackley and Reedy expect to have more student-athletes ink scholarships before the school year ends.
Hanahan had six athletes recognized, including five football players. Wide receiver Terrell Green signed at the highest level, inking with East Carolina. Linebacker Lyndon Young signed with Brevard, while fellow defensive players Andrew Conyers and Dominique Lucas inked with Limestone.
Defensive back Marlon Washington is headed for Benedict.

Little did the Kempers know that St. Louis County detectives concluded the fire was no accident.
In the arson investigation, police found a glob of plastic, presumably a trash can, containing sunflower seeds, lint and cigarette butts several feet from Zachary's bed. St. Louis County investigator John Raines believed someone set the fire in the wastebasket.
Police also learned from Steve's sister-in-law, Mary Ann Kemper, that Sandy and Steve had a fire in a previous home and that Betty Bryant suffered fires in two former houses she owned. Detectives discovered that the Kemper couple and Sandy's mother received insurance payouts after two of the three blazes.
On the afternoon of March 21, 2002, detectives appeared on the Kempers' doorstep to haul Sandy, Steve and Jay in separate cars down to the department's Clayton headquarters for questioning. Later that day, they released Steve and Jay. Sandy remained.
After six hours of interrogation, Sandy offered an audio-taped statement that convinced police of her responsibility for Zachary's death. She admitted to feeling "desperate" about being behind on her bills and said she thought for several days about setting a small fire in the basement to do "a little damage" to the rafters, according to a redacted version of her statement contained in court documents.
On May 16, 2002, six months after the fire, the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney's Office charged Sandy with five felonies: first-degree arson, three counts of first-degree assault and first-degree murder.
Prosecutors said Sandy Kemper conspired to burn alive every member of her household that November evening. Her motive: collecting on life-insurance policies on Steve and Zachary worth $74,000, and the $208,000 Allstate homeowner's insurance policy. The prosecution offered no other motive.
The following year, prosecutors revealed plans to seek the death penalty for 49-year-old Sandy Kemper, making her the first woman in St. Louis County to face execution since Missouri reinstated capital punishment in 1977.
In September 2004, prosecutors withdrew their death-penalty notice for reasons they have yet to divulge. Neither John Duepner Jr., the lead prosecutor on the case, nor St. Louis County prosecuting attorney Robert McCulloch returned calls seeking comment for this story.
When Sandy Kemper's trial finally begins next week, the St. Louis County Courthouse will stage two rarities: Court TV plans to cover the proceedings, and two of the nation's top criminal experts will defend Kemper against charges that her St. Louis attorney, Susan Roach, says have gone "from the ridiculous to the sublime." A jury is certain to hear elements of a seamy family drama that may make them wonder: Could something more than money have motivated the alleged murder?
Sandy Kemper appears behind the glass of the cramped fourth-floor visiting room at the St. Louis County Jail. She parks herself purposefully in the chair, unfurls a perky smile and asks, "Is it hot outside today? I get that feeling."
After more than three years indoors, awaiting a trial mired by varied scheduling delays, Inmate No. 71515 has not inhaled a single breath of fresh air. Until getting on the work detail in the downstairs laundry two months ago, she had not even left the jailhouse floor that she occupies.
"Somebody with a much more serious charge like hers basically would never get a job like that," notes Herb Bernsen, assistant director of the jail. "An exception was made in her case, because she's been here so long, and she hasn't been any problem."
"I'm like part of the furniture," Sandy deadpans.
Sandy is not given to humor, although for someone who hasn't welcomed a single visitor besides her attorneys in three years, and whose only possessions are three Bibles, she sometimes appears more cheerful than one might expect.
Sanguinity surfaces in conversations about her jailhouse job and her inmate friends, especially Donna, a woman now imprisoned at the state's women's facility in Vandalia. Shorter and older than Sandy, Donna "was 'Little Mom.' I was 'Big Mom.'" Donna was once a nurse and "had an asshole husband," says Sandy, adding, "We had a lot in common."
For the most part, Sandy seems a detached observer of her circumstances. She responds to questions with brevity and recounts her life story with a certain coarseness. It is only after several conversations about her son that she exhibits the first sign of maternal tenderness.
"I have no pictures to look at, so I say a prayer every November 16," Sandy says, wiping her eyes and sinking down in her chair. "I ask Zachary to watch over me."
Sandy remembers the fire only "if somebody brings it up. Otherwise, I can push the memory away."
On the advice of her lawyer, Sandy declines to describe details of her alleged crime or the statement she made to detectives the following March. All the while, she insists she's innocent of her son's murder. "I was closer to him than Steve was," she mutters.
"But in this place you're guilty until proven innocent. That's my opinion. Some of the correction officers -- how do I put it? They treat you like shit in here. But they could be in the same boat one day and be stuck in here, too. There are innocent people that have ended up going home.

You can now stream Photoshop to your Chromebook: A huge win for Google September 29, 2014 at 2:26 pm
In a somewhat surprising move, Adobe and Google have announced a streaming version of Photoshop for Chromebooks (Chrome OS) and the Chrome browser. This is potentially massive news for Chromebooks, as the lack of Big Software — those big, killer software suites for Mac and Windows — has always been a thorn in the side of Chrome OS's attempted takedown of Microsoft and Apple's domination of the laptop market.

Adobe Photoshop Creative Cloud (CC) is the best image editor in the world. It takes the strong legacy left behind by CS5, which introduced Content-Aware Fill and Refine Edge, the performance boosts and interface improvements introduced in CS6, and adds its own set of killer features and performance tweaks. If you thought that Content-Aware Fill was awesome, though, the new Smart Sharpen, Shake Reduction, and Camera Raw filters will blow your mind.

Review: Sibelius 7 notation software for Mac and PC
Avid makes significant improvements to Sibelius notation utility (July 19th, 2012)
MacNN Rating:
Product Manufacturer: Avid
Price: $599
The Good
- New, intuitive interface
- Improved sound set
- Enhanced support for graphics
- Updated text handling and typography
- Easier to share and collaborate with users of competing notation software
The Bad
- Powerful hardware required for advanced features
Installation and configuration
There are several discs to install, but the installation process is straightforward and avoids any fancy copy protection schemes--just a simple serial number. What we also liked is that installing Sibelius 7 does not remove Sibelius 6, which most users are obviously still using, so we could continue with projects that were started from version 6.
We have been using Sibelius for quite a few years now. We love how easy it is to use and how beautiful the finished scores come out looking, no matter what kind of ensemble we're writing for. Needless to say we were excited about the new version and the additions and improvements that have been made to it.
For those interested, there is a 30-day "tryout" version that can be downloaded for free.
We took a quick look at the videos on the Sibelius website, which gave us a very helpful overview of what's new.
Under the "Help" menu, among other things, users will find a series of tutorials. When we first started using Sibelius, we went through these and found them to be very helpful. There is also a PDF document under that menu, simply labeled "What's New." We opened that, along with the orchestral demo score--one of several that Sibelius comes with--so that we could follow along and try out some of the new features for ourselves.
A quick but important side note: for those working on notebooks (like us), make sure to check "Laptop shortcuts" on the preferences page.
When running Sibelius, now a "Quick Start" window will appear. If users are already working on a score and want to access "Quick Start," they can do so from the File menu. The Quick Start menu contains five tabs: "Learn," which contains videos and documentation support; "New Score," which allows users to choose from a very wide array of score templates organized by genre; "Recent," which chronologically shows the scores you've worked on; "Import"; and "Latest News." Once users choose the score template they would like to work with from the "New Score" tab, Sibelius automatically loads it up with all the sounds contained in that score.
Adding or removing instruments is now much easier. Users can simply go to the "Home" tab on the ribbon, and they will see "Add or Remove" with the picture of a trumpet above it.
Select it and the "Add or Remove Instruments" dialog box appears. All dialog boxes can now be closed just by hitting the Escape key (except for the Quick Start window on Windows), and some can even be resized.
We love the new ribbon, which is located along the top of the score. The ribbon contains 11 tabs in total, which, from left to right, correspond to general workflow, starting with "file" and ending with "view". There are also document tabs just below the ribbon, which show whatever parts users currently have open in their score. This new interface avoids the previous window clutter and allows for easy navigation--using key commands if preferred--between all the various tools one would use and want to have quick and easy access to while writing a score.
To help users learn their way around the ribbon and find things quickly, there is a handy "Find in ribbon" window at the top right of there interface; users can type in whatever they're looking for and it will take them directly there. Scroll the mouse over anything in the ribbon and a small text window comes up explaining what it is. The ribbon can easily be hidden when not in use, by clicking the triangle beside that window.
At the bottom of the score window sits the "Status Bar." One side tells users where they currently are in the score, and the other side enables users to switch between different page views, such as vertical, horizontal and panorama.
All the old familiar windows (ex. transport, keyboard, mixer) are now easily accessible via the "panels" button under the "View" tab on the ribbon.
When it comes to text and typography, Sibelius has made it much easier to manipulate text and make all kinds of fine adjustments which can be made either to an individual text object, by way of the "text" panel in the Inspector, or can be set to affect everything by way of the "Edit Text Styles" dialog under the "Text" tab in the ribbon.
The mixer (found on the "Play" tab on the ribbon) has been redesigned for control and easier use--the faders are now vertical. For example, the different mixer panels can be hidden or revealed by clicking a button on the left side of the mixer, and we really like how the whole mixer window can be dragged and dropped under the ribbon for easy, out-of-the-way access while working.
If users close the mixer and then later decide to use it again, it remembers where it was before the previous close.
Using an easy key command, tuplets now become "sticky" (create a tuplet, then hit
shift-Opt-K), and slurs (create a note, then hit "S") extend over notes as users input them. We also discovered that "H" creates a small cres. line which extends as users type in more notes. I tried these and they all work well.
Other key commands we've tried and that are well worth committing to memory:
Type "K" to get the key sig. menu, "T" for time sig., "Q" for clef, "Z" for symbol and "L" for lines. Pressing the Escape key closes them. Type "M" for the mixer and type "M" again to close it. "W" allows users to see a part after selecting a bar from it in the score, and typing "W" again switches back to the full score. We tried them all--they work great and make workflow go that much more efficiently.
Sibelius comes with its own sound set for both jazz and orchestral instruments,. While they sound pretty good, if users want to take things up a notch, we would personally recommend the sound sets, for both jazz and orchestral, from Garritan (GPO - Garritan Personal Orchestra, and JABB - Jazz and Big Band). As a side note, there is a lite version of the Sibelius sound set for those with less powerful systems.
We haven't tried it out, but apparently the new MusicXML allows for easy exchange of scores between users of many other notation programs, which makes collaboration much easier than previously.
Overall we believe Sibelius is now more intuitive now and will be even easier for first-time users to get acquainted with and start using right away.

text: Money MoneyScienceLivingFood & TravelUnited States on Jan 29, 2013 @ 2:35 PMJan 29, 2013 @ 2:35 PM PublishedFord, Daimler and Nissan team up on fuel cell car developmentA Mercedes-Benz F 125 Concept fuel cell hybrid car is on display at the international motor show in Frankfurt, Germany, on Sept. 14, 2011. Daimler AG, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, announced a partnership with Ford and Renault-Nissan to speed development of fuel cell cars.Ford, Daimler AG (which owns Mercedes-Benz and Smart) and Renault-Nissan announced a partnership yesterday to speed up the development of zero-emission fuel cell electric vehicles by sharing the costs of investment.Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) use electro-chemical reactions between hydrogen and oxygen to generate electricity, producing only water vapor and heat as by-products.BMW and Toyota are on the verge of finalizing their own deal to work together on FCEVs.Technology-sharing deals like these are common in an industry where the costs of developing new technology are very high. While each automaker will face more competition in selling its own FCEV, each will benefit from a more developed market and infrastructure.Genevieve Cullen, vice-president of the Electric Drive Transportation Association, called the deal a "good and important step," and a sign that the automakers are committed to commercialization of FCEVs. The move into the field by Ford, Daimler AG, and Nissan will "create a big wake," she said.The technology behind fuel cell cars is undeveloped compared to that of hybrid and electric vehicles, but cars pumping out only water could be on the road by 2017, Cullen said. This new deal should make that target more attainable.In a joint press release, the automakers said their collaboration "sends a clear signal to suppliers, policymakers and the industry to encourage further development of hydrogen refuel stations and other infrastructure necessary to allow the vehicles to be mass-marketed."The biggest benefit may be standardization: Because all the FCEVs from the three automakers will use the same fuel cell system, the production of that system will be more cost-effective than if it worked for fewer cars.The deal should also encourage more, necessary research. The Union of Concerned Scientists notes that pure hydrogen gas does not occur in nature in concentrated amounts. Methods for producing hydrogen (extracting it from sources like natural gas and coal) exist, but more work is needed to find way to produce it from renewable resources.Such research is more likely to move forward if three large companies will benefit from it, and the automakers know it.And that's the point of the collaboration: The promise of three big companies to produce fuel cell electric vehicles could be enough to bring to life the infrastructure and market for those vehicles.More from our partners, Business Insider:Business Insider: Buried Antartic lake shows first signs of lifeBusiness Insider: Wow, this man really wants to work for AmazonBusiness Insider: Chipotle's brand is entering new territory for restaurantsBusiness Insider: The CEO of Jefferies wowed Wall Street with his paydayBusiness Insider: Jeff Zuckers confirms Chris Cuomo is leaving ABC for CNN

The MILF is supposed to be observing a ceasefire and working out a long term settlement with the government. But the MILF leadership does not have complete control over all MILF members, making any deal with the MILF incomplete. More and more independent minded MILF factions are making attacks on troops, police and Christian civilians living in Moslem areas. The Abu Sayyaf was one of those MILF splinter groups that was expelled from the MILF. There are many more "Abu Sayyaf's" in the MILF.

Things I liked:shoots on target everytime.don't have to load or cock after every shot,looks like a real rifle,great sites,cheap to shoot as pellet cost to bullets,looks like a quality built gun COMES WITH CASE AND EXTRA PARTS love the gun
What others should know:its a work out to fill with air with the hand pump but worth it once complete. {with the amount of shoots per fill]
Things I liked:Beautiful rifle with plenty of power. .25 cal. for me, and after having some initial scope problems, which I'll discuss later, I consider it the finest airgun I own. Initial sight in with Champion pellet trap indoors had shots going through the same hole.
Things I would have changed:Rail system and sling mounts.
What others should know:Using a Leapers 4-16x44 AO SWAT Accushot scope I had to get high rings and had problems because the base of yhe rings is too thick, or there isn't enough room for the rails to accept that thickness. I got a pair of the Weaver to dovetail mounts and that cured any problems, including that front sight looking like a little Christmas tree at the bottom of the scope. When I finally got up to the mountains to use my friends backyard range I was quite happy to find that I could cover a 3 shot group at 50 yds. with a penny.
Things I liked:Looks and Quality,Accuracy,feel,extra mag,sling,Iron sights.
Things I would have changed:The manual needs to improve.
What others should know:This air rifle is on the heavy side. Shoots great just as is. The stock cracked and Hatsan replaced no question ask and real quick.
I would but the air stripper for your galatian!!!

The Goose Creek Gator football team is still out of the 4A-Division II state playoffs after a ruling from the South Carolina High School League Executive Committee. Goose Creek was appealing the original disqualification ruling stemming from a player eligibility issue.
The player in question transferred to Goose Creek from Berkeley over the summer, where he had repeated the 9th grade. When the transcript was transferred to Goose Creek, Gator officials claim it showed the player still had a year of eligibility left. However, when the transcript was checked for basketball eligibility, it was shown that the player had used up all of his eligibility. Goose Creek self-reported this to the SCHSL, saying they had no way of knowing the player had used up his eligibility up until that time.
The player appearing in seven games for the Gators, but according to Goose Creek head coach Chuck Reedy's testimony, only played about 20 snaps at the end of games that were already decided.
Reedy, along with Goose Creek principal Jimmy Huskey and superintendent Rodney Thompson, sat in front of the SCHSL Executive Committee for 90 minutes tonight to make their case for being reinstated into the postseason.
After some deliberation, the committee voted 9-2 in favor of keeping Goose Creek disqualified. The Gator delegation appealed that ruling for 'mercy', essentially giving the committee another chance to change their minds. The committee deliberated for five more minutes before deciding on a 10-1 ruling upholding Goose Creek's disqualification.
As a result, Conway will advance to the next round of the 4A D-II playoffs and will face Bluffton on Friday night. Conway had originally lost to the Gators 48-7 last week.
Huskey and Thompson both met with the media after the ruling adjourned. you can listen to their comments by clicking on the links below.

A return home for the Pittsburg State Gorilla women to John Lance Arena could not have come at a better time. The Gorillas were coming off their longest losing streak of the season, three games, all of which were away from home. The Gorilla women put to rest any doubt that they were still capable of knocking off the MIAA conference top dogs.
Truman State was first up for the Gorillas. The Bulldogs came into John Lance Arena with a 16-3 record, 9-3 in MIAA play. A complete performance for the Gorillas on both ends of the floor led the way from the opening tipoff. Through the first 10 minutes of the first half the Gorillas led 13-12. The final 10 minutes of the first half would be owned by Pittsburg State, closing on an 18-5 run. The Gorillas finished the first half shooting 61 percent from the field.
The second half would set up much like the last 10 minutes of the first half. The Gorilla women extended the lead to 16 points on two occasions throughout the second half. The Bulldogs could not manage to cut the lead to single digits at any point throughout the second half. The Gorillas outscored the Bulldogs in the paint 34-14 and held the Bulldogs to just 23.7 percent from the field.
"Tonight we played with just an outstanding defensive team effort," said head coach Lane Lord, "(I'm) just really excited about the way we played on the defensive end."
Pittsburg State was led by Lauren Brown with 19 points, seven rebounds and six blocks. Lizzy Jeronimus added 15 points on just seven attempts from the field and hauled in five rebounds. The Gorillas as a team shot 57.4 percent for the game. This was Lord's 100th victory.
Lord and the Gorillas would ride the momentum of that big win into their game on Saturday. Southwest Baptist (9-12, 4-9) was next up for the Gorillas at John Lance Arena. Again, the Gorillas put up a complete team performance.
Pittsburg State allowed the Bearcats to lead just one time throughout the game, and it lasted all of 19 seconds. The Gorillas took the 10-9 lead with 14:45 left to go in the first half and never looked back. Pittsburg State led at the break 39-25 before winning the game by a final of 74-61.
Much like in the victory over Truman State, defense was the main story for the Gorillas. Southwest Baptist shot just 31.7 percent in the game, compared to 47.9 percent from the Gorillas.
Pittsburg State was led by Jeronimus with 20 points, six rebounds, and five assists. Three other Gorilla women were in double figures: Alexa Bordewick who had 14 points, as well as Brigit Hesser and Kylie Gafford, with 10 points.
The Gorillas are now 8-5 in the MIAA and tied for sixth.

Inspiration can come from difficult times in our lives, even from the passing away of a loved one.
The latest album from the Stereophonics, "Graffiti on the Train," was influenced by at least two deaths. Perhaps that is why every song on the album is tinged by a certain sadness and reflection.
Stuart Cable, the band's drummer, died in 2010 and this is the band's first release since. His absence is felt in the soulful, soul-searching tone of the album, even though no direct lyrical reference is made to his passing.
One song on the album was actually written with Amy Winehouse in mind. Kelly Jones, the lead vocalist and songwriter of the band, wrote the track "Been Caught Cheating" when thinking of Winehouse's troublesome love life.
Jones did chat with Winehouse about the song he had written with her in mind, but she passed away before it was recorded and never got to hear it.
The dedicated track is bluesy and sad, like most others on the album, but is noticeably different in its styling, sound and simple instrumentation. The rest of the album mainly has a "big" sound that comes from the use of a full orchestra.
"We Share the Same Sun" offers a nice opening to the album, with a mesmerizing solo guitar backing Jones's vocals before giving way to the more familiar full-band sound of alternative rock.
It's a classy, skilled opener that is followed by the title track, which also has a big sound. The orchestral backing and deeply sorrowful tone of the track sets the scene for this album. The Stereophonics have matured and become much more melancholy.
The third track on the album suggests that the band members have matured perhaps more than they would want — "Indian Summer" sounds like something that the all-star veteran group The Traveling Wilburys might have recorded.
"Indian Summer" is more upbeat than most tracks on the album, but the next one quickly sets things back on a darker trail.
"Take Me" is a gloomy, brooding song that almost falls into the category of goth rock. It is beguiling yet appealing. A more rock 'n' roll sound returns in the next track, "Catacomb," which could easily be a Led Zeppelin number. Whatever rock style is adopted though, all of this is good listening.
At times there is beauty, as in "Violins and Tambourines," a simple piece involving strumming guitars and quiet vocals with a hazy feel reminiscent of the Doors. It is only in the latter half of the song that the orchestration kicks in with an anthem-like vibe. It may not be hugely original but it is effective stuff.
From beginning to end, the album is a pleasure, if a generally melancholy one. The end of the album comes in the form of a song that is deeply introspective. It is not hard to imagine the lighters waving in the audience when this track is performed live. "No One's Perfect" is a song that could well have many listeners close to tears.
All round, "Graffiti on the Train" comes off as a cleverly written and produced album. Sure, it may be less than original and occasionally contrived — some songs sound as if they have been written to a formula to move the listener — but it still makes for a polished musical exploration of sadness and good sounds.

- Traditional Spanish Christmas candy
- Smooth alternative to the crunchy classic
- More affordable than 1880 turron
- Size - 2 x 5.3 oz/150 g
Fresh roasted almonds and local honey are blended to create this classic Spanish candy. This rich almond treat can be sliced into bite size pieces and served with tea or coffee.

When I write a blog post these days, the first thing I do is make sure I have something visual to go with the post. Often it's video but even just a decorative image (ideally something that supports the post) is enough. In the video below I go through how I go about finding free images to use in my blog posts.
People respond well to images, and generally people don't like to read loads and loads of text content on websites so it's a good idea to get in the habit of including an image with every blog post you write.
So that's the 'Why'. Check out the video below for the 'How'. Check out the MP4 version if you can't see the youtube one.
Here is the post I refer to in the video Stock image library recommendations which lists 3 free and 4 paid sources of images to use in your blog posts.
