Where are my glasses and the prize Dawns
This pair sits very discreetly on the window side of the armchair. Used for reading, often the tv guide and when I need to read a remote control to operate a function I am not used to using.
Sitting upon my book prize from the marvellous Ann O'Dyne and next to my bed are the specs that I use most. They travel with me all the time top in my top pocket. Only useful for reading for up to about half a metre.
The tech specs. Well, tech because they are weaker than the others and essential for reading what is on the computer monitor. Also used at galleries for looking at works of art up to a distance of about two metres.
The bathroom specs. Nice big lenses and you really don't want me to list all the things that the bathroom glasses are used for.

Thinking about it, I wish I had more than one pair of sun glasses... I forget to take them with me when I work night shift. Of course, I do not need them when I leave for work,..but driving home, oh-boy I sure do need them.ReplyDelete
Bathroom glasses... I could do with a pair of them also, with magnification on them.. plucking facial hair... you know!
I have one pair of specs next to the bed (for pre-sonambulistic reading), one pair in my rucksack (for excavation records), one pair next to the computer (for obvious reasons), one pair in the lounge (just in case), one pair in the bookcase (because it makes sense), one pair on the shelf next to the microwave (for cooking instructions), one pair in my top coat pocket (because you never know), and one pair in the bog so that I can read Private Eye rather than mistaking it for the extra absorbant stuff.ReplyDelete
And I still end up having to borrow Michelle's because I can't find mine.
Cazzie, get a cheap pair and leave them in the car.ReplyDelete
Lol Anon. Did it take long to think that up?
I was much the same Brian, but I am getting much better at keeping control of spectacles.
Love that book, currently dipping into it.ReplyDelete
My daughter devoured in within 2 days, loved it, too.
Must get another pair of specs, these ones are rather tatty.
Andrew I can't think of a single thing I'd want bathroom specs for. The less I see of my own horrible disfigurement the better, if you're lucky enough not to suffer this problem, then good on you!ReplyDelete
A friend asked me the other day why I didn't have laser surgery to correct my vision. The thought gives me the horrors since everything I do is vision oriented.ReplyDelete
That said, I could make you a very nice beaded chain for hanging the glasses around your neck but I wouldn't want you to look like a queen.
Up there for thinkin' Andrew, I will do just that, buy a cheap pair for the car :)ReplyDelete
And goes without saying Caz, have a gorgeous pair to wear at other times.ReplyDelete
Quite so Victor but my palms remain hair free. My eyes are bad but my prostate gland is very healthy. I am just following medical advice.ReplyDelete

Dating to c.1840-1850, this is a rare example of a repousse gold brooch set with a huge lapis lazuli cabochon!
Measuring 2" long x 1 1/2", this superb brooch epitomizes all that is so wonderful about Romantic-era jewelry! This grand jewel boasts gorgeous repousse work with the foliate scallops and hand-engraved swirls typical of fine jewelry of the early 1840s. The brooch is set with a massive natural lapis lazuli cabochon measuring 1 1/4" x 7/8" x 8 mm tall! This lapis is a stunning shade of rich royal blue, with tight veins of dark blue, white and specks of gold. This brooch is American in origin, as it tests to 10kt rather than 9kt gold.
The lapis stone is mounted in a closed-back collet of 10k yellow gold (unmarked but tested). As with most of the repousse gold jewelry of this decade, it is of hefty hollow construction. This gorgeous jewel is on all-original condition, with no repairs or losses after over 170+ years of careful wear! It retains its original "T and C" clasp, and a loop at the back which would allow this impressive brooch to also be worn as a pendant. SO PRETTY!
Weighing in at a very substantial 27.2 grams, this brooch lights up on anything you choose to wear it; it looks splendid on a jacket lapel or a sweater! This is the first lapis-set brooch of this date that I have ever discovered; I have often seen enameled mourning jewels of this general style, but never one which celebrates life with this glorious blue and gold combination! Luckily, it has survived into the 21st century in fresh-as-a-a daisy condition, and looks just as beautiful as when it was proudly worn by a lady of fashion in the 1840s.
If you collect the best in Victorian fine jewelry, this brooch will make a stellar addition to your collection! It would also make a wonderful holiday gift for that special lady fond of antique or lapis lazuli jewelry. This brooch will be shipped in a gift box suitable for storing or giving. Do not miss it; I do not expect to find another, and holiday shipping is FREE!

No Fear of Death?
Kirk and most of the regulars on TOS were pretty brave when death was in the offing. Sometimes a little too brave, from a realism standpoint.
In "The Empath," Kirk, Spock, and McCoy literally fight over who gets to die for the others, and there's never a hint of hesitancy about it.
In "Court-Martial," Finney says to Kirk, "I wouldn't kill you, Captain; your own death would mean too little to you!" Really?
Real servicemen die for their buddies, but it happens in the heat of battle. The classic case is the guy who throws himself on a grenade, and that really does happen sometimes. But on STAR TREK, these guys contemplatively plan to die in 20 minutes without batting an eye.
I think in real life, the most likely explanation for an attitude like Kirk's (practically saying "I must be the one to die, and let's get on with it!") is that he's devoutly religious. But that's not the aired explanation for it, and Roddenberry would never go along with it.
In "Mirror, Mirror," when one guy has to stay behind and probably be tortured in the Booth for it, Scotty says "I'll stay, Captain." Shatner should have said "Great, thanks!" and run up into the Transporter chamber. What an outtake that would have made. And it would reveal that such offers are not always 100 percent sincere. We expect to be refused.
Re: No Fear of Death?
Just because a person is willing to sacrifice their life to save others, doesn't mean that person doesn't fear death.
We all fear death. Every sentient being that ever lived, and ever will live, fears death. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. But there are those who, even though they are afraid to die, can put aside that fear in order to give their life to save others. Kirk is one of those people. So is Scotty. So are most of the regular characters we've seen.
As for Finney: he wants to make Kirk suffer, not die. The way to do that is to kill someone, or some thing, that is close to Kirk, so that Kirk would be forced to watch as that death occurs. That's worse than death, in a way.
Re: No Fear of Death?
What I fear is that I might be snuffed uselessly, say by some pinhead who crossed the line because he absolutely had to respond to that text right now.
Re: No Fear of Death?
The manner of death? Sure that's what I fear. I am mostly concerned about how I die and how much it will hurt (will I die in a fire, a fall, trapped in a cave, buried alive, a nasty car accident, a dreadful disease). But death itself? Nope. I had a very close call 20 years ago and all I wished for was it to be painless. I wasn't a bit worried about my life ending, it was out of my hands. Granted, I'm happy I dodged a bullet (figuratively), but that's not the point. Not wanting to die and being afraid to die are two different things. However, if you think I'm lying, there's nothing I can do about that.
Re: No Fear of Death?
Fearing death doesn't mean being afraid of death. It's good to have a healthy respect, or fear of certain things. As I understood what Mr. Laser Beams meant, nobody wants to die and, unless we're suffering from some overwhelming physical or mental incapacity, we all do our best to preserve our lives. Nobody wants to die.
On the other hand, what the OP is missing is that these are HEROES. Heroes act HEROICALLY. In the face of danger, our beloved heroes will glad risk and sacrifice their lives if it means the preservation of others. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one."
Those brave men that fought the hijackers on Flight 93 on Sept. 11 didn't want to die. Yet they heroically gave their lives so that the evil plans of madmen would be thwarted. Policemen and firefighters do everything they can to protect their lives in the face of danger, yet they gladly and willingly sacrifice their lives if it means saving innocents from harm.
In all the above cited Star Trek episodes, we see friends who would gladly give their lives in exchange for the salvation of their friends.
"No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul in behalf of his friends."
Re: No Fear of Death?
I'd be willing to bet that most heroes dive into action because they are unwilling to sit by and let the enemy or fate make bad things happen. They are not planning to "gladly and willingly sacrifice their lives." Gen. Patton said it best: "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his."
Re: No Fear of Death?
"Only fools have no fear." - Lieutenant Worf, "Coming of Age".
There's nothing wrong with having a healthy fear of death, it's perfectly natural. It's how you react to the fear that counts.
Re: No Fear of Death?
It's been stated above, I agree...
It's not a lack of fear of death. I'd say it's a matter of having greater love of their friends. That's understandable.
Plus, as Star Fleet officers they have greater training in life-and-death matters, along with oaths to give their lives and all that.
Just to mess things up, I'll also toss in Kirk's line in TFF:
"I'm afraid of nothing."
Re: No Fear of Death?
Let's not forget that the command crew of a starship are likely to be bolder, more selfless, yes, more heroic than the average schlub. And these characters gave us people to emulate. I've stuck my neck out more than a few times for others; Star Trek and Superman may have had something to do with that.
Re: No Fear of Death?
^^^ Yeah, bad line for Kirk. Only moments ago he spoke of his pain and needing his pain, then that line.
If I must defend it, I'd say that after all his incredible adventures I guess Kirk has faced down every type of fear there is. After all that, maybe he is afraid of nothing any more.
Re: No Fear of Death?
Re: No Fear of Death?
Then Gillian dissed him at the end of ST4. The look of surprise on his face was priceless. Hey, even Fonzie lost his cool once.
Re: No Fear of Death?
Re: No Fear of Death?
Re: No Fear of Death?
But doing that, especially as rashly as Kirk does, can come at a terrible cost-- if you're not a fictional character and a regular.
One thing that's usually left out of the equation is the family members a hero would leave behind. In "The Empath," to take an example, McCoy is practically saying that it is better for his own relatives to lose a loved one than for Spock's family to suffer a similar loss.
This is credible dramatic behavior, in that we don't scoff and leave the room, but it's hard to explain from the standpoint of natural selection.
It turns out some scientists are actually wrestling with this problem:
If "The Empath" is viewed through this lens, then the concept of group selection (as opposed to individual selection or kin selection) seems to explain all the self-sacrifice going on.

Chan's The Man
If Adele was the queen of music this year, Channing Tatum was the king of the movies. He may not have taken home any acting awards, but with five films released in 2012 -- including three box office hits -- Channing proved to be more than a pretty face and a set of perfect abs (though we like those too!). Whether kicking butt in "Haywire," breaking hearts in "The Vow," cracking hilarious jokes in "21 Jump Street," making us lust in "Magic Mike" (which was based loosely on the actor's pre-movie-star days), or causing us to feel all warm and fuzzy in "10 Years," Channing had all the right moves no matter the role. Did we mention he's hot?

Sittin' In with the Big Band is a music minus one type of series of big band arrangements written in a variety of styles ranging from swing to Latin, and from funk to rock. With killer tracks, fun arrangements, and a few challenging charts, it's a great addition to your shelf!
I recently sat down with educator and session drummer, Bruce Becker, where we chatted about his time with the legendary Freddie Gruber, what it's like to perform with a sibling for 30 years, how he goes about teaching high profile drummers, and all about his DVD – "Concepts and Philosophies: A Comprehensive Approach for the Development of Drum Technique."

The true masters never stop being a student of their craft and never stop looking for inspiration. Sometimes, that inspiration comes from artists younger than yourself! We can all agree that Steve Smith is a true guru of the drums, but what jazz albums featuring younger drummers (younger than Steve, that is) inspire him?
Whether you're a seasoned pro or simply in your middle school jazz band, at some point you have to tackle jazz standards, and it's always helpful to brush up (ba-dum-tss) on learning these tunes. Check out Part 1 of Modern Drummer's "Approaching Standards" workshop.
1999 Mapex called, they want their bop kit back. What's old is new again, I guess!
This makes me drool. Taye's unveiling a new finish for their BeBop kits. This classic walnut finish is seriously mouth-watering. Maybe it's because I've been playing and listening to a lot of jazz recently, but my favorite part of this kit besides the finish is the 18″x14″ kick drum. Looks marvelous. Bet it sounds great too! Always been impressed with how Taye's kits sound. They do great work.
The folks over at All About Jazz have posted up a good mix of three Erskine clips.
Source: All About Jazz
The first clip shows Erskine playing a more-or-less free form drum solo. It was recorded in 2004 at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC). The second video, down below, features the drummer in a trio with guitarist John Abercrombie and bassist Marc Johnson, recorded at NYC's Village Vanguard. Lastly, the third clip provides a glimpse of Erskine the teacher, as he demonstrates a New Orleans-style groove and solo.

Why did the Dominion sign a non aggression pact with Bajor?

Re: Why did the Dominion sign a non aggression pact with Bajor?
If I may invoke a certain metaphor from a certain former vice president's lecture-movie.
Throw a frog in boiling water, it will jump out. Raise the temperature gradually, the frog will stay in the water until it dies.
That's exactly what they did to Cardassia and hoped to do to Bajor. Remember, they started out by saying 'We'll just send some Vorta to Bajor, no Gem Hadar'. Then the plan would have been, wait till they get used to that. Then more Vorta. Then maybe, just a few Gem'Hadar, unarmed. Then armed. Before they know it they're a Dominion planet.
It's all about resource management. Take a planet intact without expending any resources, or spend resources to take it demolished. Show the AQ your only enemy is the Federation and you'll be left unharmed if you stay out of it, or show the AQ that you will attack defenseless planets and then have to take on more fronts at the same time.
The Dominion wanted to take the AQ piecemeal. They wanted to take on as few enemies at a time as possible, and get the greatest gain for the least expenditure, and not invading Bajor was the best way to accomplish that.

'No chance for Shafiq in fair elections'
Egyptians are getting ready to vote for their candidates in the runoff presidential elections in the next two days. Press TV has conducted an interview with writer and journalist, Ally el-Kabbny to further discuss the issue. The video also offers the opinions of an additional guest, political commentator from Cairo. What follows is a rough transcription of the interview. Press TV: Mr. Kebbay let us have your view on this as well. Would you agree that we are going to see Shafiq stay in the race? And if Shafiq is out of the race, what would be the better option to start all over of for instance to bring the next candidate, which is Sabbahi, up? Kebbany: First I have to say that there is a conspiracy in the political life in Egypt now to abort the revolution. I always have said that the revolution of Egypt surprised all powers internally and regionally and externally and shocked them.
But now all these elements of counter-revolution have awakened from their shock and they are working fiercely and very hardly now to regain and reestablish the old regime of Mubarak by putting back Ahmad Shafiq who is another example of Mubarak. He was his student, followed him as a commander of the air forces, a minister in all his governments and the last prime minister which Mubarak put to crush the revolution so any victory for Ahmad Sahfiq will be rigging the election and it will be a fraudulent election.Because we should not forget that the Egyptian people revolted against the like of Ahmed Shafiq and they refused them even as a prime minister. So of course Ahmed Shafiq got five million [votes] in the first round but those are parasites and the hypocrites of the old regime who benefited and sucked the blood of the Egyptian people and looted the Egyptian people's wealth. So those people will fight to the end to maintain the old regime but my first comment actually …. . Press TV: The next question is the political situation right now that the presidential election is being held in, back to Mr. Kebbany, a lot of confusions Mr. Kebbany. There is still no constitution for Egypt because of the disagreements among MPs, so the president, who be, still does not know the extent of his powers, the parliament itself is at stake since the Supreme Constitutional Court can rule the parliamentary elections are flawed and that brings the question, is this the best time for the presidential polls to be held? Kebbany: Certainly the presidential polls should be held on time because we should not allow the conspiracy to gain time because the main purpose of the conspiracy is to elongate time and this state of confusion and instability is deliberate to confuse the Egyptian people because as you rightly mentioned, why this presidential election committee referred the law to the High Supreme Court of Constitution? Actually it is an administrative committee, it should have respected the law of the parliament and checked out Ahmed Shafiq, but the fact that they referred the isolation law to the High Supreme constitutional law, is to gain time and to absorb anger of the Egyptian people until they manage to support Ahmed Shafiq. So the whole ploy from the beginning is to create this instability and confusion and one also would be surprised to know why the Supreme Court joined the two cases together: the Presidential isolation law and the parliamentary election law. At least they should …the two issues to have one elected body until we get the new president, not to create a vacuum. So the second stage in this conspiracy, is to create a political vacuum in Egypt, in which we do not have a president nor an elected parliament. That is what makes me actually surprised and know that the fingers of the counter-revolution are playing in the political arena to create this instability and to elongate the period until the forces of the counter-revolution regain their power and reestablish themselves again. Press TV: Mr. Kebbany, let us again focus, as our guest there in Cairo did, on the election the two front runners: Mohamed Moursi and Ahmed Shafiq. If we do go with this hypothesis that Mohamed Moursi will be facing Ahmed Shafi, right now we know that Muslim Brotherhood's supporters have already started protesting for instance, outside of the elections headquarters in one instance saying that they are concerned that the vote is going to be rigged, that they want a list of eligible voters to be showed, that it is not going to be rigged. First of all do you think that the first round of the election was fair? And do you think that that second round is going to be fair as well?
Kebbany: You see in a free and fair election Ahmed Shafiq will never win in Egypt and if we assume that the first round was free and fair then the five million or so what Ahmed Shafiq got is the maximum he can get. So this represents 25 percent of the people who gave their votes, those electorates who went to the polling stations and it actually represents less than ten percent of the Egyptian electorates.So ninety percent of the Egyptian people did not vote for him and among those who went to the voting stations, 75 percent did not vote for him and those people will never change their minds and vote for him. So any result in his favor will be a rigged election. MY/GHN

Service is a major goal at two other major retail chains -- Best Buy and Nordstrom. As a typical male, I am more interested in electronic gadgets than in clothing, but both of these stores, in different ways, put the customer first. At Nordstrom, one gets the impression that one is dealing with salespeople who take pride in their work, not people who are counting the hours until they leave work. And as one who knows a fair amount about consumer electronics, I always found it depressing when I realized that I knew more about some of the products being sold than a salesman did. Not so at Best Buy, where the staff is usually as knowledgeable as they are friendly. That is a fine achievement for a chain in cutthroat competition with so many others.
My praise is not only for retail operations, as much as I want them to succeed in the age of Internet shopping. Thus, I cannot omit Amazon.com. I have ordered hundreds, perhaps over a thousand, products from Amazon, and never once did an order arrive late, damaged or incorrectly packed. Moreover, I put more faith in many of the Amazon book reviewers than I do in most professional book reviewers. I am very impressed by the high level of knowledge and insights expressed by many "ordinary" people who review books at Amazon.
Being 6 feet, 4 inches tall, I have to buy "tall man" clothes and, frankly, most "big and tall man" stores either don't have much quality or much variety (normal-sized stores like Brooks Brothers that have both quality and variety sell few or no shirts with 38-inch sleeves). Two online stores help solve that problem: Lands End and Jos. A. Bank. When Sears purchased Lands End, I was afraid that quality and service would deteriorate. If anything, they have gotten better.
Finally, a word about my great passion: music. I cannot find the words to effectively express my gratitude to the great composers and performers for all the joy they have given me since I was a teenager and discovered classical music at a $1 Handel concert at Carnegie Hall.
Given my love for music -- I periodically conduct orchestras -- I have always wanted the best possible music reproduction in my own home. In high school, I skipped lunches for months in order to pay for the best stereo system I could buy. I could never afford what I now own if I hadn't been "trading up" for 40 years. But what I now hear in my home actually comes close to what I hear, and what I experience emotionally, when I am conducting.
So, a heartfelt thank you to all those in the high-end stereo industry who labor -- usually for minimal profits, especially in this generation, which seems uninterested in hearing music as if it were live -- to create magnificent reproducers of music. In particular, I want to cite MBL, the German company that makes the extraordinary electronics I own, and YG Acoustics, the Denver-based company that makes the finest speakers I have ever heard -- and I have heard many in my home, at dealers and at audio shows. There are many excellent speakers, but YG's transcend speakers; they are conduits of music. After 40 years, the veil over home music is almost gone.
This has also been made possible in part thanks to a dealer, Maier Shadi of The Audio Salon, whom I was fortunate enough to find a few years ago. His knowledge of home musical equipment is as great as his love of music, and he makes repeated house calls -- even after a customer has purchased equipment -- to ensure the best possible sound.
At a time when society is saturated with neo-Marxist rhetoric vilifying the words "companies" and "businessmen," it is a joy to salute some of those companies and businessmen who have added so much to my life and that of so many others. Happy New Year to all of you.

UPDATE: Plaintiffs have filed an appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Their brief is due on October 19.
The district court has granted summary judgment (opinion pdf) for all remaining defendants as to all of plaintiffs' remaining claims in Looney v. Moore, the lawsuit arising out of the controversial SUPPORT trial, which I last discussed here. This therefore ends the lawsuit, pending possible appeal by the plaintiffs.
Plaintiff infants include two who were randomized to the low oxygen group and survived, but suffer from "neurological issues," and one who was randomized to the high oxygen group who developed ROP, but not permanent vision loss. In their Fifth Amended Complaint (pdf), plaintiffs alleged negligence, lack of informed consent, breach of fiduciary duty, and product liability claims against, variously, individual IRB members, the P.I., and the pulse oximeter manufacturer. What unites all of these claims is the burden on plaintiffs to show (among other things) that their injuries were caused by their participation in the trial. Continue reading

That's Jim. I work with him. He is just friggen fast in general. The type of guy who will be right next to you cranking up a hill saying hi... and then just casually says "see ya later" and takes off like it's nothing! I really like the bike with the chipped up copper-coloured paintjob and its bar setup. Flipped risers so he gets low but has a bit more leverage for riding on the ice. Also the guy with the crazy grippy tires, that's Bradyn featuring tires made by Keith. An impressive show of ice riding prowess and Keith's uber ice-tire-making skills.Originally Posted by Kaibot
Colin nice pic of the bike pile at the partay. Where did you go? I thought we were leaving at the same time but you were already gone like the wind when I got outside?
Good times last night!
Looks like I missed a good time. They did run a rubber class..bummer I like that. The chipped copper jobby is Petey's, Jim is wicked quick and smooth. I wonder if this is his dynasty, he toook last year as well. What about years previous? My buddy has some beautiful shots from Mtl's Ice Race, when I get copies I'll see if I can post them. I got one here sec.....actually i'll have to see if I can get permission to post this guy's shots first.

Should Mark Neumann continue campaign to challenge Scott Walker for the Republican gubernatorial nomination?
BizTimes Milwaukee asked its readers that question this week after the news broke about Republican insiders putting pressure on Newman with step aside to clear the path for Walker.
Neumann vowed to continue his bid, saying the people, not the "Republican big wigs," should select the party's nominee.
When the BizTimes poll question was posted, the campaigns and followers of both candidates bombarded the web site. After several swings, the poll ended with 7,326 votes being cast. In the end, 54 percent of the respondents said Neumann should continue his campaign, and 46 percent said he should withdraw.
The poll is by no means scientific, but it reflects the chasm in the state's GOP ranks.

On today's date in 1859, Gounod's "Faust" became a worldwide success after its first performance in Paris. In 1883 the opera was performed at a gala at New York's newly built Metropolitan Opera House. And "Faust" was performed so often there that the building was soon dubbed the "Faust-spielhaus," a pun on Wagner's German "Festpielhaus" or "Festival Theater" in Bayreuth. You can attend a gala of sorts next week as the Sarasota Opera presents their "Salute to the Stars" as they celebrate the outstanding Sarasota Opera Artists who will be honored in 2015.

Classroom Diagnostic Tools (CDT)
The Pennsylvania Department of Education continues to enhance and expand its Classroom Diagnostic Tools (an on-line computer adaptive test), for Reading/Literature, Writing/Composition, Mathematics, and Science. The diagnostic assessments are available for students in the lower grades (3-5) and the grades 6-high school. In multiple-choice format, the assessments are available to all Pennsylvania K-12 schools.
CDTs are based on content assessed by the Keystone Exams and the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA). Although not a predictor for PSSA and Keystone Exam performance, CDTs provide a snapshot on why and how students may still be struggling or exceeding grade and/or course Eligible Content. The CDT data, along with other data, informs instruction in a timely and efficient manner.
- Available for use in the classroom throughout the school year on a voluntary basis.
- Provide real-time results, ensuring valid and reliable measures, of students' skills with links to Materials and Resources in SAS.
- Highlight student strengths and areas of need thus becoming part of the discussions between teachers, parents/ guardians, and students to set individual learning goals.

Tweetie 1.1.1 adds Growl, Snow Leopard support
updated 04:50 pm EDT, Tue May 5, 2009
Tweetie 1.1.1 released
atebits has updated the Mac version of Tweetie, its Twitter client. The app allows users to post tweets, organize conversations, and search for popular topics. Amongst many small improvements, Tweetie 1.1.1 includes new features such as Growl support, which alerts users to updates from particular topics, people and conversations.
The new version also fixes bugs from the previous release, including ones associated with search memory and incorrect dock badging. The program has additionally been given 64-bit support, which should allow Tweetie to work well with Snow Leopard when the OS ships later this year.
Tweetie is typically priced at $15, though a version burdened with ads can be downloaded for free.

Re: Die Rise Script Error?CommanderStalin Jan 29, 2013 1:06 PM (in response to stevean2)
Could be a corrupt download. Try again, and if you get the same issue, wait a bit. Try restarting your console. If the problem persists, you should either re-download or your console is having issues.

Shoudnt be a corrupt download, as I was playing it fine online earlier.. I'll try again online and play offline later, but I hope its not my console :/

A couple of friends and myself are experiencing the same thing. Worked fine while connected to internet and once offline. We later tried a system link match and ended up doing the same exact thing you mentioned. We then tried solo and ends up getting the script error.
So yea buddy, you're not alone in this problem.

Re: Die Rise Script Error?Finalword824 Jan 29, 2013 6:49 PM (in response to stevean2)
This is total BS..the game obtains an update server command on connecting to xbox live as you can play with ethernet disconnected after you have obtained that from their servers.. Hence if you turn on black ops 2 without being on the internet you cannot play Die Rise. I Dont know if this was an error or on purpose, but i want to be able to play a game and mode i paid 75$ for whether my internet connection is on or off. Patch it Treyarch!!!
Re: Die Rise Script Error?younngn Jan 29, 2013 9:19 PM (in response to Finalword824)
This is really disappointing. I paid crazy money and waited a long while for this. The least they could do is make it right from the beginning!
Re: Die Rise Script Error?Fouriesburg Jan 31, 2013 8:46 AM (in response to Finalword824)

Publisher's Description
Help for women to understand men's spiritual needs, why today's church doesn't meet them, and how to successfully point them to God.
Women don't understand men's spiritual needs but they want to and desperately need to know what they can do (and should not do) to keep their men engaged at church. In the follow-up to his bestselling Why Men Hate Going to Church, author David Murrow speaks directly to women to help them understand the real reasons men resist Christianity. He offers a way of talking about faith that intrigues men instead of repels them and then challenges them to bring more risk and adventure to their own walk with the Lord.
Author Bio
David Murrow is an award-winning television producer and writer based in Alaska, most recently working for Sarah Palin. A best-selling author, he is also director of Church for Men, an organization that helps churches connect with men and boys. David and his wife, Gina, have three children.
Product Reviews
JohnGAAge: 45-54Gender: male4 Stars Out Of 5Good followupJanuary 7, 2013JohnGAAge: 45-54Gender: maleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4Good context to follow up author's previous book "Why Men Hate Going to Church." It's helpful in understanding a perspective of why the husband might feel this way and shouldn't be read looking for aummunition to "fix" the husband. The author (who is male)can help women who care deeply, steer clear of appearances of throwing guilt or condesending tones hoping for results. It's a process and this helps seperate the facts from excuses and hopefully will clue partners in to how to prevent a further drift in faithfulness.
TeresaColumbus, OhioAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5An interesting perspectiveMarch 18, 2011TeresaColumbus, OhioAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4This witty book outlines why men may or may not feel comfortable in a congregation and backs it's observations with data. It suggests things we can do to foster a more inviting environment and to set appealing examples of the Christian life. Think shoulder-to-shoulder work for the Lord, rather than discussing our personal feelings or holding hands with a group of strangers.
I learned some useful things. Thanks.
Patricia Putnam4 Stars Out Of 5August 1, 2010Patricia PutnamA very good book. It is readable, and has great ideas about how we are inoculating our boys against getting a severe case of Christianity.

Jennifer5 Stars Out Of 5November 8, 2008JenniferThis book has provided major revelations on why so many teen boys in our church are not on fire for God! They lack spiritual fathers to show them how to be a man of God!

Skate Socks vs. Barefoot Skaters
When lacing up before a game, your hockey skates aren't the only pieces of equipment that you wear on your feet. Or maybe they are…more on you guys later, barefoot skaters. Skate socks are getting more and more attention with every passing year. They come in all thicknesses, sizes, and with all sorts of new features for today's game. What you wear inside your skates is a choice that completely comes down to personal preference and there are many preferences that a skater could have.
Maybe you haven't bought into skate socks yet. That means you are either rocking your everyday socks, or you're going barefoot. The barefoot skater does not wear socks at all and can be referred to as a savage. Working at the retail level, selling skates to all ages, you realize that this type of skater is a dying breed. The majority is made up of men's league players that can't even bare to think of sliding a sock on before a skate. The barefoot skater most likely has an above-average amount of chest hair. Then you have the skaters who use their everyday socks. Half-calf, ankle cut, or standard crew cut; it doesn't matter. This skater is going to take off their shoes and put their skates right on. Admittedly, I am this skater. I'm not sure if its apathy or tradition at this point, but I've always been more of an 'its-not-the-gear-its-the-player' type. I also wore my youth elbow pads all the way through junior. The everyday sock wearer is that kind of skater.
