that if you use the in game chat with your fireteam, INSTEAD of a party chat, they tweak your voices like Dinklage on the Ghost. It sounds like youre talking in a helmet over comms. It changes depending on your surrounding environment. Your voice echoes in caves and buildings. Nice addition I must say. Just one of the little things I accidentally learned yesterday. Pretty cool stuff Bungie! EDIT: Here is a clip from where we discovered this the first time. Keep in mind the distortion you hear from Mooses mic at the beginning is just his mic being wonky for a sec. It might happen twice and is in no way part of the in game chat. It's just wonky for a split sec, too loud or too close or something. But you can hear it pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxiPI_PrOp8&feature=youtu.be
AlmostUseful8/8/2014 2:09:25 AM PermalinkIt's cool and all but me and others I played with had an issue. No matter what the settings on the PS4, chat audio came through the headset and TV. Which was immensely annoying to me and is the only reason I preferred Party Chat.
riceNpea7/25/2014 10:37:08 AM PermalinkSo what happens if Steven Hawking plays? Will he sound like R2D2?
dbzdude8/3/2014 3:20:03 PM Permalink6a9f70c5 - 11/13/2015 4:07:58 PMJust watch this u can hear it clearly!
Skyllar7/28/2014 9:37:47 PM PermalinkI'm on ps3 and maybe it was just me but nobody was talking in game. Now I'm sad because I'll have to wait over a month to experience this. Were people more chatty on the ps4 version? I was going to grab that white destiny ps4.
InsanitusLupis8/7/2014 1:34:53 PM PermalinkThis happened when my girlfriend and I were playing, our voices echoed inside a building and I was like, "is something wrong with your mic?" XD
Grim Grin8/7/2014 5:54:23 PM PermalinkI thought that was just my Kmart connection making people sound that way.
FLAKmunkee8/7/2014 1:30:55 PM PermalinkOn the 360 version it just sounded like my friends voices were coming through my headset and tv at the same time so I turned it off
rootEdited by root: 8/7/2014 1:29:58 PM PermalinkHuh? In game chat instead of party chat...what do you mean? I've only played over ps3...our clan either uses in game or team speak for communication...and the fireteams communication was as clear as say...GTA v or borderlands 2 etc.
Nemesis8/7/2014 12:47:54 PM PermalinkYeah i knew that and i really liked it and then i thought why do they not want game chat for people on the same strike even if they arent in the same fireteam
iNreVerett8/3/2014 4:01:34 PM PermalinkAlso they change if the sound is heavier on right or left ear depending on your position to the player speaking. Works on ps4 too.
TheGreenAlloy8/7/2014 12:20:24 PM PermalinkEvery xbox game I've played makes in-game voices sound like comms. Clear audio seems to be exlusive to party chat.
ViolentDreamZ8/7/2014 12:13:32 PM PermalinkWhat you mean like Dinklage on the Ghost ? you mean I sound like Dinklage ??? canceling my pre-order now! jk, of course its really cool.
Drunken Legend8/5/2014 11:50:11 PM Permalinkum why am i just finding out about this thats awesome!
Silent Zer07/29/2014 3:44:58 PM PermalinkIt's the first thing i noticed when my friend and I were playing. I said wow your voice sounds amazing and he got totally the wrong idea....
jakeojoshie8/3/2014 3:44:47 PM PermalinkThats an awesome touch to this game, but can other random people hear you when ur talking to your fire team?
Eating Dinner8/3/2014 9:46:14 AM Permalinkdamn, that's awesome and is gonna be really cool for raids/dungeons
Diablo5168/3/2014 7:23:55 AM PermalinkWas wondering why sometimes they sounded like that and other times they didn't. This is why!

kalu: Keeping Arch Linux Up-to-date
kalu (which could stand for "Keeping Arch Linux Up-to-date") is a small application that will add an icon to your systray and sit there, regularly checking if there's anything new for you to upgrade. As soon as it finds something, it'll show a notification to let you know about it. Very classic stuff.
What makes kalu any different?
For starter, it doesn't need root privileges to do its checking. Not because it doesn't synchronize databases, since that would make it mostly useless, but because it will create a temporary copy of your sync databases, sync those, and then remove them of course.
The idea is not only not to require root privileges, but more importantly to avoid putting you in a situation where you'd risk messing up your system, as you might unknowingly end up basically doing a
pacman -Sy foobar (which is pretty generally understood to be a bad idea).
Because if kalu did sync your databases, and there were upgrades available, but you did not apply them right away (for one reason or another, e.g. you're busy, or were AFK when the notification poped up and didn't see it...) then your next -S operation would really by a -Sy, event though you might not even realize it.
What does it check for?
kalu can check for a few things :
Arch Linux News. To be sure not to miss an important announcement from Arch Linux's official website.
Available upgrades for installed packages. That is, anything from one of the repos, or what would be upgraded with a
pacman -Syu
Available upgrades for non-installed packages. You can define a list of "watched packages", that is packages for which you'd like to be notified when an upgrade is out, even though they're not installed. (E.g. packages you repack for yourself to apply a patch or something)
Available upgrades for AUR packages. All foreign packages (i.e. not found in any repo, aka
-Qm) can be checked for upgrades available in the AUR.
Available upgrades for watched AUR packages. Just like with "regular" packages, you can have a list of packages in the AUR for which you'd like to be notified when an upgrade is available, even though they're not installed.
Of course you don't have to use all of this, and you can define which of those checks kalu should do. Besides maintaining lists of watched (AUR) packages, you can also define a list of foreign packages that kalu should not check the AUR for. Since there's no reason to check for packages you know aren't from the AUR (e.g. packages of your own making).

Energy savings at Stewart, Hunter
February 9, 2011
By Robert Baumgardt, Director, Public Works
FORT STEWART, Ga. - Fiscal Year 2010 was a very successful year from an energy conservation perspective. Compared to Fiscal Year 2009 Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Air Field was able to reduce the energy needed in its facilities by nearly ten percent. We are well ahead of the president's schedule for reducing energy consumption by 30 percent by 2015. Here at Fort Stewart, we are committed to meeting and exceeding the presidential goals without impacting the comfort and well being of the customers we serve and to do so in the most economical and practical sense possible.
The deployment of forces last year allowed us to mothball certain vacant facilities producing immediate energy savings across the installation. We continue to build out a new chilled water distribution system that will ensure adequate air conditioning services in many buildings that had never had proper air conditioning in the past while using much less energy than ever before. Our newly instituted HVAC maintenance program should also pay immediate dividends by improving systems reliability, especially in the hot summer months, while using less energy.
We expect that our wood fired boiler to come into full production by March. This boiler should save the installation nearly a million dollars per year and increase the renewable component of our energy mix to over 25 percent from zero at the moment. Our effort to properly regulate the hot water distribution temperature has cut our natural gas usage by 50 percent during the past quarter.
Even so we are continuing to look at ways we can save energy. An ongoing effort to replace building circulation pumps with new high efficiency replacements will save about 70 percent of electricity needed to run these pumps. This project will pay itself back in only three years.
Going forward a major effort will be placed in generating some of our own electricity using our wood fired boiler. This will increase our use of renewable energy; increase our energy security posture and save the installation up to two million dollars per year. We are partnering with private industry to explore ways to even further increase our energy security here at Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Air Field.
While the DPW and its engineers continue to evaluate and deploy new energy saving technologies we need your help now. Just by paying attention to the energy you use you can make an immediate impact. Turning off lights, reducing the heat and air conditioning while you are away and keeping windows closed while you are heating or cooling a room are some things you can do to help save energy right now. That energy saved will save money in our annual operating budget which can be used for other quality of life programs.

text: Pay Raises Focus on Rewarding Top Performers Priority given to retaining and engaging high achievers By Stephen Miller, CEBS 8/12/2014 Permissions The average raise in base pay within the U.S. is expected to be 3 percent in 2015, up slightly from 2.9 percent in 2014, 2.8 percent in 2013 and 2.7 percent in 2012, according to Mercer's 2014/2015 US Compensation Planning Survey. These findings are in line with 2015 salary projections previously reported by SHRM Online. Salary increases for top-performing employees—roughly 8 percent of an organization's workforce—will be higher as companies continue to focus on retaining and engaging high achievers, the survey revealed. Five-year trend of average U.S. base pay increases Source: Mercer, 2014/2015 US Compensation Planning Survey. Includes companies budgeting 0% pay increases. "Employee engagement and retention continue to be a top priority for employers," Mary Ann Sardone, a partner in Mercer's talent practice, told SHRM Online. "As a result, employers recognize that they need to reward top-performing employees. And while pay is still most important, they're continuing to provide rewards beyond compensation in the form of training and career development." Mercer's most recent survey on compensation trends includes responses from more than 1,500 midsize and large employers across the U.S. and reflects pay practices for more than 16 million workers. Differentiation for Top Performers As organizations strive to balance reward programs with budgets and the need to retain critical talent, they are analyzing key segments of their workforce and concentrating rewards on top performers. Mercer's survey shows the highest-performing employees received average base pay increases of 4.8 percent in 2014 compared to 2.6 percent for average performers and 0.1 percent for the lowest performers, indicating that the marketplace for top talent remains competitive. Average Base Pay Increases as a Function of Performance Percent of workforce Average pay increase Highest rated 8% 4.8% Next-highest rated 28% 3.7% Middle rated 57% 2.6% Low rated 7% 0.9% Lowest rated 2% 0.1% Source: Mercer, 2014/2015 US Compensation Planning Survey. Based on companies with a five-point rating scale. (For more on distribution guidelines, see the SHRM Online article Improving Performance Evaluations Using Calibration.) Differentiation for Growth Sectors Compared to the average pay increase of 3 percent in 2015, organizations within high-performing industries plan to grant higher raises. The energy industry is among the highest with a projected average pay increase of 3.5 percent. Other industries expect to award less next year, including consumer goods at 2.8 percent and nonfinancial services at 2.8 percent.

Statement by
Indonesian Delegation
For the General Debate of
the Operational Activities Segment of
the Substantive Session of the ECOSOC 2013
Geneva, 12 July 2013
Mr. President,
Indonesia aligns this statement with the statement made by Fiji on behalf of the Group of 77 and China.
Last year, the UN member states agreed to continue making systematic improvements to the operational activities of the UN system for development with the adoption of the quadrennial comprehensive policy review (QCPR). It gives the UN system the fundamental guidance and framework to strategically direct UN development operational activities for the next four years.
Indonesia takes note with appreciation all the follow up measures that have been taken by the entities in the UN system to implement the QCPR.
The ongoing formulation and consultations of the 2014-2017 Strategic Plans of the UN funds and programs serve as a significant test case for funds and programs and other relevant entities within the UN development system on how they would lay the strategic foundations for the implementation of the QCPR within each respective mandates and portfolios.
Inclusive participation and contributions of member states in the formulation and consultative process of the strategic plan of funds and programs play a very crucial role to ensure full implementation of the QCPR mandates by all relevant UN entities.
Indonesia appreciates in this regard, the funds and programs'consultative process with member states on their strategic plan drafts.
Increasing as well as evolving development needs and challenges require states to constantly build and develop their capacities and capabilities so that they can achieve and sustain their development goals.
By the same token, entities of the UN development system must be able to demonstrate their effectiveness, efficiency and accountability in producing results and showing impacts on the ground in supporting member states'development efforts.
The QCPR has articulately captured those two important features of today's global development landscape.
UN entities for development in this regard must mainstream sustainable development into all its frameworks at all levels and strengthen their modalities on capacity building and development to support member states'capacity building and strengthening for implementing and achieving sustainable development.
Within this highlight, Indonesia underlines the imperative of giving the highest priority to poverty eradication into all UN development system's sustainable development frameworks at all levels, and most importantly at the operational level of each UN entity in member states'countries.
By mobilizing, reinforcing, and most importantly making inter-linkages between the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development, efforts to accelerate poverty eradication and prevent the reversibility of poverty can be achieved and yield results.
As funding remains a critical bedrock for the operational activities of the UN system for development, Indonesia would like to add voice to the need to further strengthen the core budgets of the UN development system. Donor countries and other countries in a position and capacity to do so should substantially increase their contribution to the core funding. Furthermore, efforts to finding a sustainable solution to address the imbalance between core and non-core resources need to be further accelerated.
The QCPR has set comprehensively all the strategic guidelines so that the UN development system remains relevant in the changing global development architecture and most importantly able to deliver results and create impact. It is therefore important that UN entities uphold all and remain within the mandates of the QCPR.
Evidence-based and effective monitoring and comprehensive evaluation mechanisms within the governing bodies of funds and programs, within ECOSOC and within the General Assembly are therefore important to ensure the implementation of the QCPR mandates by the UN entities for development.
I thank you, Mr. President.

Catching Up
Just back from New York after not having been for a year. I had missed it more than I realized and mentioned to a friend over tea that I could see myself living there. "Well, the weather has been great, darling," was his reply. Too true - it was gorgeous - but more and more familiar and filled with friends. (Bill and the boys are not keen to this idea, so don't be looking for my change of address card anytime soon.)

But since film won't vanish from one day to the next, I'd rather spend all my savings on enough film and paper to last me a few years. Developer and fixer can easily be made, so that's not a problem, but building my own coating machine and making film is way beyond my engineering skills.

2009 ESPY Awards Style
- Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImage.com1 of 21
By Melissa Hunter
The ESPY Awards are pretty much a tricky way to get all-stars and regular stars in a room together to see who can out-hot each other.
Michael Phelps keeps it simple with a suit and tie, and his favorite accessory: a golden award. Yawn. Demi Moore, on the other hand, pulled out all the stops with her neon salmon-burgundy hypercolor corset dress. One point: Hollywood.

Acer is launching the 7 inch Android tab in the US in August, and is expected to arrive in India later this year.
The Acre Iconia A100, which was expected to make its debut in the United Sates in the month of July, will be launched in the August this year.
According to a post of Engadget, Acer has sent out mails to their retail partners pertaining to the delayed launch and officiating the delivery in the early weeks of August.
Following the launch in the US, Acer is also mulling to launch the device in other countries, including India, in September. If launched, the A100 will join the league of 7 inch screen based tablets including the recently launched BlackBerry Playbook.
The price for the A100, as expected, remains competitive at $300 (around Rs 15,000) but it is highly possible that the price of this tablet will go up to Rs 20,000 plus once this tablet lands in the Indian market.
The A100 features an Nvidia Tegra 2 dual core 1GHz processor along with 512 MB of RAM. The 7 inch display, although smaller in size as compared to the 10 inch A500 tablet, will have a similar screen resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.
Acer had earlier announced that the A100 will also get a Honeycomb 3.2 upgrade in the month of September. The same will be made available to the users in the USA via OTA upgrades but for users in India since the device will be shipping in September it is expected that the device might come preinstalled with the Honeycomb 3.2 update.
n the recent past we have seen Motorola, Xiaomi, OnePlus and other handset players choosing only online ecommerce portals to sell their smartphones.
The tablet, which comes in 32 GB and 64 GB internal storage variants, is said to be start shipping in United States from this month itself.
The new Iconia A3 tablet comes loaded with innovations and is available in both 3G and WiFi only variants.
Acer has quietly announced a beastly Liquid S2 phablet with 6-inch display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and a 13 megapixel camera capable of recording 4k resolution video.
Priced around Rs 8,000 plus taxes the device comes in as a powerful budget Android smartphone.
The Nvidia Tegra 4 processor is what Acer has chosen for its next in line product, great performance is complementary.
Liquid Mini E310 was the last smartphone of Acer to be launched in India. It was introduced in the country in 2011 for Rs 11,990.
Acer Iconia A1-811 will support a 7.9-inch IPS display panel with 1024x768 pixel resolution. It will have a SIM slot that will support 3G connectivity.
Acer Iconia W3 is priced at Rs 27,999 and is claimed to the smallest Windows 8 based tablet in in terms of display size.
Beating Microsoft in its own game, Acer announced world's first 8 inch Windows tablet.

CHICAGO – Today American Library Association (ALA) President Courtney Young released the following statement regarding the attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris.
"The American Library Association condemns in the strongest possible terms yesterday's attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris and the deaths of the twelve people there.
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Public policy issues surrounding 3D printers are now coming to the fore as the technology becomes more widely available in America's libraries and homes. To ensure people are able to use 3D printers responsibly and effectively, librarians must now work towards developing policies in copyright, trademark, privacy, product liability and more. Established, reasonable practices for 3D printing will enable this technology to best serve our communities and inform the laws, regulations and judicial decisions to come.
CHICAGO — Banned Books Week, the annual celebration of the freedom to read, is here! From New York to Alaska, libraries, schools, bookstores and book-loving individuals across the country are fighting back against censorship and saying yes to their right to read.
Which banned book are you?
CHICAGO — Take the new online "Which Banned Book Are You" quiz and find out which banned or challenged book best fits your personality. Developed by librarians at Columbus State Community College (CSCC) in Ohio, the quiz was created to celebrate Banned Books Week and the freedom to read and the right to choose reading materials without restriction.
(Click for full-size)
CHICAGO — It may surprise some to find out there are hundreds of reported attempts to ban books every year in the United States. It may be even more astounding for them to hear that since 1990, the American Library Association's (ALA) Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) has received reports of more than 18,000 attempts to remove materials in schools and libraries for content deemed by some as inappropriate, controversial or even dangerous.
CHICAGO—Travel to London, South Carolina, Texas and California to learn about efforts to un-ban books by attending the free webinar, "Regional Issues for Banned Books in 2014."
In 2013, there were hundreds of reported requests for books to be removed from America's libraries, potentially putting those volumes out of reach of students, readers and learners of all types. While every corner of the map faces unique issues related to library censorship, these issues also catalyze passionate freedom-to-read advocates dedicated to getting the books back on library shelves.

Birth Place: Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA
David Samuel Goyer was born Dec. 22, 1965 in Ann Arbor, MI. He discovered his niche early; as a boy, he was a devotee of the supernatural soap opera "Dark Shadows" (ABC, 1966-1971), and would later credit it as his inspiration for becoming a writer. His school days were marked with restlessness broken by periods of intense productivity; he wisely balanced both by bargaining with teachers to waive the usual load of class work if he turned out an original work every week. While in high school, he decided to attend Michigan State University (MSU) to pursue a career as a homicide investigator. His teachers, however, intervened and sent him packing to Southern California, where he studied sc... Continue Bio >>

Director Kang Hyo Jin Dishes On The On-Screen Chemistry Of Uhm Jung Hwa And Song Seung Heon In 'Wonderful Nightmare' [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW]
(Photo : Megabox Plus M ) "Wonderful Nightmare" captures the struggles of professional women, as they attempt to balance their careers with homemaking. Uhm Jung Hwa is Yeon Woo, a successful attorney, who mistakenly dies due to a clerical error in heaven. In an effort to fix the mistake, she is given an opportunity to live as a housewife, for one month. Song Seung Heon portrays her newfound husband, whom she struggles to connect with, as a lifelong bachelorette. KDramaStars sat down with director Kang Hyo Jin to discuss the on-screen chemistry of the popular Hallyu stars and his affinity for creating movies with strong female protagonists, during the New York Korean Film Festival.
(Photo : ) KDramaStars: The film incorporates a strong cast of comedic stars with brilliant child actors. What was the casting process for Wonderful Nightmare?
Kang Hyo Jin: With the casting process, Uhm Jung Hwa was the first actor to come on board, for a role. When we first made the offer she declined it. I went for a rewrite after she saw the rewritten screenplay, she accepted the role. As for the child actors, we went through an audition process to find the right cast members. Even then, we continued to struggle with finding the right actor to portray the factor. I approached Song Seung Heon and he accepted the role, which surprised me, at first.
KDramaStars: How did Uhm Jung Hwa and Song Seung Heon create their on-screen rapport? What was it like to work with two stars who are extremely well known within their own right- Uhm as a pop vocalist and actress, Song as Hallyu star for his K-Drama roles?
Kang Hyo Jin: Not just the rapport between them, but because we had child actors with them, I think that also helped build a natural rapport. Midway through filming the romantic scenes, because there was physical contact, that also helped them embody their characters, in a more natural way.
Theres an anecdote about the on-set filming. There was a kissing scene that was going to be a no-cut scene in the film. In the beginning of filming, Uhm Jung Hwa and Song Seung Heon were both concerned that they would not be able to film the scene because they were so awkward. In the end, they were very natural about [romantic scenes] and it wasnt awkward, at all.
Song Seung Heon and Uhm Jung Hwa had no mutual friends. It was their first time meeting and their first project, together. Its kind of weird, because both of their careers span a period of 20 years, but in that time, they had never met each other, through work. They were both really surprised about that.
KDramaStars: Your previous works like Punch Lady and Twilight Gangsters feature strong female protagonists, which is rare within Korean cinema. Do you feel that you are drawn to stories about powerful women? If so, why?
Kang Hyo Jin: I would say that youre right, in that Im interested in strong female characters, especially those who grow stronger through experience, whether it is through struggles or hardships. I know that there is the notion that women need to be protected, but I really like stories that talk about how women develop and grow, through these experiences. But the main reason why Im interested in these types of characters is due to my mother. She was a very strong woman, but at the same time, she was a very warm-hearted person. She passed away, but at the same time, she has been the main influence, in myself, to be drawn to these characters.
I also feel the reason I became a filmmaker is because of my mother. She was an absolute movie buff or cinephile. She was a huge fan of classic Hollywood films with stars like Caroll Baker. Even growing up, I would have these films around me, all the time. I owe my desire to become a filmmaker, to my mother.
KDramaStars: The Korea Times compared Wonderful Nightmare to Miracle in Cell No. 7, in that the film begins as a comedy, but ends on a sad, emotional note. What are your thoughts on the progression of the film and why is there a juxtaposition between the emotionality?
Kang Hyo Jin: I didnt write the original screenplay. I received it and then rewrote parts of it. The main reason I was drawn to the original screenplay was because there was a limited amount of time Jung Uhm Hwas character would spend with this family. I felt like that point would be a good factor in drawing a type of natural, heartfelt warmth, to add a touching element to the story. I guess it is a little similar to Miracle in Cell No. 7, in the structure.
KDramaStars: The film also offers a critique on gender dynamics and the accomplishments of empowered women through Yeon Woo, a character who is forced to endure the trials and tribulations of homemaking, when she was previously accustomed to her independent lifestyle as a lawyer. What was the feedback from the cast members and domestic audiences?
Kang Hyo Jin: Im not sure if youre aware of this, but I was one of the original creators of the film, My Wife is a Gangster. I feel that people unintentionally view me as a director of films that are female driven or female oriented. But it is very hard to gain investors with women in the leading role. When I was working on this project with Jung Uhm Hwa, we talked a lot about making the film into a good project, because the fate of Korean cinema and whether women would have lead roles, depends on how movies like this perform. If it flops or did not do well, to gain more support for women in film. We focused on making this into a good film.
In terms of audience feedback, we invited female journalists and female audiences to view the first screening of the film. At the time, there was some criticism from women that the message of the film was that they needed to get married in order to be happy. As we did a wider release throughout Korea, I think the views of audiences changed. They accepted the film as having a message of unconditional love through family bonds, rather than a commentary that women were meant to fill a specific role.
KDramaStars: What are your thoughts about the inclusion of Wonderful Nightmare in the New York Korean Film Festival? Can you share details about your next project?
Kang Hyo Jin:Its an honor to be invited to the New York Korean Film Festival. Its actually the first international film festival to invite my film, Wonderful Nightmare. Its also my first time in New York, so Im so excited to see my film screen in such a wonderful theater and museum. My next project is likely to be a thriller/action film with another leading female character. Its a pretty edgy and dangerous film. Im in the process of writing and also talking to the investors about the project.

Viewers will need to wait until next fall to watch Lee Young Ae and Song Seung Hun's expected new drama "Saimdang, the Herstory."

According to reports, Hong Kong-based Emperor Group has invested 10 billion won (approximately $8.6 million USD) into the drama, which extra proves the world attraction of the grand-scale production.
Meanwhile, the filming began ultimate August and the drama can be entirely pre-produced.

Song Seung Heon Wants To Be A Father, Soon
(Photo : ) Song Seung Heon would like to become a father, as soon as possible. The 39-year-old Hallyu star expressed he desire to tackle parenthood during an October 31 fan meeting that was held in the Taiwanese city of Taipei.
According to an article published by My Daily, he clearly stated his intent to get married and become a father, during the event. My Daily referenced a report that initially ran on the Chinese-language outlet, Sina Entertainment, for the story.
"I want to be a very good father, soon," said Song.
While he did not make a wedding announcement or official state any future plans, his statement resounded with the Taiwanese audience.
Song is currently dating 28-year-old mainland Chinese actress Liu Yifei. The popular stars met on the set of the film, "The Third Way of Love." Their romance bloomed from their on-screen interactions, leading them to become one of the most talked about couples of 2015, in Korean entertainment.
He went on to express his gratitude for his fans in Taiwan."It"s been a long time meeting friends in Taiwan," said Song.
Song debuted as a denim model in 1995, before experiencing meteoric fame with the 2000 melodrama, "Autumn of My Heart." The series, which is often credited for sparking the Korean Wave, also starred Song Hye Kyo, Moon Geun Young, and Won Bin.
His other notable credits include the 2008 MBC series, "East of Eden," "My Princess" and "When a Man Falls in Love."
Whether wedding bells are in the future for the Korean actor and his Chinese girlfriend has yet to be announced, but his determination to embrace fatherhood could be another a catalyst for their nuptials.

Son Seung Yeon Supplies Emotional functionality for Shin Hae Chul Tribute on "Immortal Song"
The October 24 episode of "Immortal Song" used to be a distinct episode for Shin Hae Chul, who kicked the bucket a year ago. His wife, Yoon Won Hee, turned into gazing from the audience.
Possibly the maximum moving performance of the evening was made by way of singer Son Seung Yeon (Sonnet Son). Son Seung Yeon chose the song, "When Our Lives Draw to an finish sooner than Us," and presented an emotionally charged stage. It was then that Yoon Won Hee teared up, and her daughter consoled her.
Son Seung Yeon also began crying close to the climax of the song, yet she controlled to end the song with no genuine hiccups. She stated after the performance was over, "I was holding back tears because the beginning. I tried, but I may just no longer prevent the tears from flowing." Afterward, she joked, "I should have looked lovely awful on camera."
Watch the performance below.

Son Seung Yeon ahead of her stage, "Shin Hae Chul composed this song when he used to be my age. i think wonder at the reality that he wrote this sort of song at 23 years of age. I think it"s anything he sought after to mention to young people. I wish to sing it with confidence."
Though Son Seung Yeon"s functionality changed into amazing as always, it was Hong Kyung Min (Highlight for Spoilers) who took the overall win. What do you recall to mind her cover?

ALSBURY, JAMES HARVEY (?–?). James Harvey Alsbury was a partner of his brothers Horace A. and Charles Grundison Alsbury as one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred colonists. On August 3, 1824, they received title to a sitio and a half of land that later became part of Brazoria County.
James Harvey has been confused with Hanson Alsbury, his brother, who was born in Virginia on October 18, 1801, came to Texas in 1824, lived temporarily at San Felipe, and later moved to the Trinity River area, where he spent some months in surveying and became a father in 1825. In 1826 his wife, Harriet Raymond (Plummer), became ill, and the family returned to Mississippi, where they remained until 1840; then they returned to Brazoria County. They moved to Galveston in 1842 and later to San Antonio.

I mainly bike for pleasure. Some rides are over 100 miles but I'm not concerned with having a "race" bike. Like I said, I do it for fun. I would also use it almost daily for a 14 mile round trip commute.
I'm going down the CX bike route because of more relaxed geometry, larger wheels, etc. I currently ride a Trek city style bike with 700x28 panaracer tires and really like them. I run the same tires in a 700x25 on my fixed gear.
I really dislike canti style brakes... and love disc brakes, which limits my bike options. So I found the La Cruz and like everything about it so far other than it having a steel fork. I've never ridden a steel fork (all my bikes are carbon forked)
I guess my question is.... will 700x28 tires work on the 29'er wheels that salsa supplies on the complete bike? or if someone could recommend another bike for me...

Let's Talk About the SatCom (UAV)nicedrewishfela Sep 26, 2013 1:00 PM
I have pasted the article from CharlieIntel.com, so I apologize for the length of the post.
So, basically, the Satcom is the new UAV as they are trying to cut down on Aerial Streaks, since they sit on the ground. The power changes with the amount in use. 1 only shows enemies in sight of you our your teammates. 2 works like the UAV we are used to, 3 increases the pings, and 4 acts like a Orbital VSAT/Blackbird type deal. As you can also see, there are perks directly meant to impact these, including Wiretap to hack them and Off the Grid to hide from them.
So what are your thoughts? Will this help or hurt UAV spam? Do you think they will be too easy to earn, and as a result be constantly in use? Or will having them on the ground help make them easier to take out? Will it impact strategy as people try to defend them, or will enough people run them for a team to have multiples? It certainly adds a new element to the game.
In a new Elite post, Infinity Ward and Activision have revealed how the new replacement if the UAV, SATCOM, Killstreak will work in Ghosts.
1 Active SAT COM
Eyes on: With one SAT COM on the field, enemy players within the line of sight of you or your teammates will show up on the mini-map.
2 Active SAT COMs
With a second active SAT COM, your team is awarded the traditional sweeping UAV effect, highlighting enemy positions at brief intervals.
3 Active SAT COMs
A third SAT COM increases the frequency of radar sweeps. This results in tighter surveillance on enemy movement.
4 Active SAT COMs
If you're lucky enough to get four active SAT COMs, all detectable enemy players will show up as solid arrows indicating the direction they are currently facing. The ultimate surveillance tool.
The more SAT COMs active, the better. They do have to be placed on the ground, so it's important to avoid deploying them in open view where enemy players can easily destroy them. On the other hand, it's vital that you take out any enemy SAT COMs you encounter.
There are also a couple of perks to keep in mind that directly affect the SAT COM:
Utilize all active enemy and friendly SAT COMs on the field.
The Wiretap perk allows you to passively hack into enemy SAT COM units, providing additional surveillance throughout the match. Use your improved tracking abilities to communicate enemy position to your teammates.
Off the Grid
Undetectable on the mini-map by SAT COM and radar pings.
For those that prefer to stay under the radar, Off the Grid negates the enemy's ability to ping you via SAT COM. Just remember, firing your character's weapon will still briefly reveal your position on the mini-map, unless you're using the Silencer attachment.

Psychological Distance and Subjective Experience: How Distancing Reduces the Feeling of Difficulty
Psychological distance can reduce the subjective experience of difficulty caused by task complexity and task anxiety. Four experiments were conducted to test several related hypotheses. Psychological distance was altered by activating a construal mind-set and by varying bodily distance from a given task. Activating an abstract mind-set reduced the feeling of difficulty. A direct manipulation of distance from the task produced the same effect: participants found the task to be less difficult when they distanced themselves from the task by leaning back in their seats. The experiments not only identify psychological distance as a hitherto unexplored but ubiquitous determinant of task difficulty but also identify bodily distance as an antecedent of psychological distance.

The following catalogs assemble academic articles and essays documenting, explaining and supplementing selected special exhibitions.
In 2006 the creator of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, would have turned 150. An appropriate occasion to dedicate an unusual project to him and his invention.
The book accompanying the exhibition in the Jewish Museum Berlin offers
an amusing and pointed portrayal of the present state of psychoanalysis from
various perspectives.
The book is organized around central basic psychoanalytical concepts like perversion, psychosis and phobia. The everyday world of things from Freud's most famous case histories - drill, bouquet and bathtub - makes the concepts astonishingly clear and comprehensible.
The basic concepts are flanked by articles from internationally renowned scientists. The psychoanalyst Peter Widmer looks into the role of the voice in psychoanalysis; the historian Eli Zaretsky investigates the influence of psychoanalysis on Jewish history; the film scholar Gertrud Koch pursues the depiction of psychoanalysis in cinema; the psychoanalyst Karl-Josef Pazzini reflects upon the role of a missing thing - in psychoanalysis and in the museum. A genealogy, more complete than any existing to date, provides information about the fate of the Freud family.
The volume is introduced with an essay by the exhibition curators, which deals with the setting of psychoanalytic treatment - armchair and couch - and with the space of love and law institutionalized by this setting.
The catalog includes a CD with an experimental radio drama on Freud's life
24,90 euros
This book presents for the first time Roman Vishniac's Berlin pictures, the unknown early work of one of the master photographers of the 20th century.
The photographs are accompanied by Mara Vishniac Kohn's
personal memoir of her father and her childhood in Berlin.
The photographer Roman Vishniac, famous for his pictures of "A Vanished World" lived in Berlin from 1920 to 1939. In these twenty years he captured everyday life in the German capital, people in the steets, Berlin characters, friends and family as well as Jewish institutions.
More about Vishniac on the website of the exhibition ...

Christmas and Hanukkah are celebrated throughout the world in December - with gingerbread or latkes, between tradition, commerce, and family celebration, with a profession of one's religious beliefs or political message.
This book examines the history of these holidays
that recall the birth of Jesus and the rededication of the Temple,
respectively, more than two thousand years ago. The authors investigate
the holidays' origins, their rituals and customs, and search out the
cultural interrelations between both traditions.
Surprising and amusing, this book uses both kitsch and art to illustrate religious and secular aspects, and offers an insight into the rich and diverse developments, of the popular Christian and Jewish holidays.
Have a look at the website of the exhibition!

To honor its outstanding architect, the Jewish Museum Berlin, in
collaboration with the Barbican Centre, London, will open a special
exhibition entitled "Counterpoint: The Architecture of Daniel Libeskind."
In an area exceeding 600 m˛, the exhibit shows fourteen of his projects through models, design plans, sketches, films, photographs, and audio recordings. Daniel Libeskind's model for Ground Zero and the World Trade
Center were on display for the first time in Germany. Alongside
famous buildings including the Jewish Museum Berlin, the Felix Nussbaum
Haus in Osnabrück, and the Imperial War Museum North in Manchester, the
exhibition also presented less-publicized buildings such as the
Atelier Weil on Mallorca as well as projects still at the planning
stage like the "Musicon" concert hall in Bremen and the "Spiral"
extension to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. His competition entries to design Potsdamer Platz, Alexanderplatz, and the Sachsenhausen Memorial Site in Oranienburg were not destined to be realized, but
reveal the architect's vision for Berlin and commemorative culture in
Daniel Libeskind the visionary, who continues to break ground through his multidisciplinary approach, inspired a new critical discourse in the architectural world. One important feature of his method is always posing counterpoints. Daniel Libeskind's philosophical approach connects architecture and city planning with their social function and develops them through constant dialogue. As a musician, he finds inspiration in the works of composers from Bach to Schoenberg and Messiaen and in fact even staged and designed an opera production for the first time in 2002: "Saint Francois D'Assise" at the Deutsche Oper in Berlin. The cosmopolitan and bridge builder: Daniel Libeskind was born in Poland and grew up in Israel as well as the USA where he became a US citizen. He lived in Berlin for thirteen years and has recently moved with his wife, Nina, and daughter, Rachel, to New York.

The Phillips 66 Black Employee Network in partnership with the Black Heritage Festival of Louisiana will hold its 9th Annual Scholarship & Financial Aid Seminar on March 14, 2015 at the Lake Charles Civic Center. It gets underway at 8:30 AMin the Buccaneer Room. Students and parents will learn about graduation requirements, when and how to apply for scholarships and get to visit with colleges and vocational-technical schools – all under one roof.
The first 150 households will receive a copy of the *New* Scholarship Workbook. All students will be eligible for fantastic door prizes. The school with the highest attendance will get a chance to take the trophy from last year's winner.
Participants will include Grambling State University, Louisiana State University, Louisiana Tech, McNeese State University, Southern University, University of Louisiana – Monroe, Xavier University, Associated Builders & Contractors Trade School, SOWELA Technical Community College, Unitech Training Academy, and the U.S. Army.

Already disappointed :(
By jewelerlover

This ring is still sitting inside it's box waiting to be given to my BF for Christmas and I just peeked at it the other day and noticed that the gold rim has brown marks turning on it. What a shock as this is a gift that hasn't even been given!!!! Beautiful ring but gold plate job must be crumby. Very sad.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Juvenile trout, Cynoscion nebulosus, are found associated with widgeon grass, Ruppia maritima Linnaeus, in all secondary and tertiary bays. Adult game fish in Area M-6 show no preference for any particular species of vegetation for habitat.
