New York Marathon will proceed, now dedicated to Hurricane Sandy victims
Richard Drew, ASSOCIATED PRESS
With more than 40,000 participants each year, the New York Marathon is one of the best-known and most-beloved races in America.
But after the devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy, many questioned whether the city should — or even could — host the iconic race on Sunday, Nov. 4.
With parts of the city still without power, the transit system crippled by massive flooding and Central Park, where the historic races finishes, still closed due to debris, it seemed organizers had no choice but to cancel.
On Wednesday, however, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the race would not only be held on Sunday, it would be dedicated to the victims of the disaster and their families.
A number of changes have been made to the event's pre-race festivities, including canceling the opening ceremony and Saturday 5K, but organizers are confident they will be able to stage the winds through five New York boroughs and attracts runners from around the world.
A number of stories detailing the dilemmas runners face are surfacing, including whether it's appropriate run in a city where so many are still suffering, are they supporting storm victims by bringing tourist dollars and charitable donations, and how it proves the indomitable spirit of both the city and the sport of marathon that they'd hold the race — even as the city rebuilds.
In a Time Magazine article on the subject, runners discuss why they are choosing to run. For some the investment of time and money is too significant to drop out, but for others, it's a way to show support and love.
"I thought about what I would do if the race got cancelled," says professional runner and 2012 Olympic athlete Julie Culley. "I think I would still go to Staten Island and run the full course. The past few days I've been paralyzed watching the TV. My family is from New Jersey, but I'm focused and prepared for this. After the race, I'm helping with recovery."

Week Three Race Report - from our on water race reporter, Phil Clinton:
Hughie is not as fit as he once was and ran out of puff for race three. With a forecast of light winds from the West to South West he was true to his word on the day.
The start boat was found out in the sound towards North Head on station with an inflatable mark set over towards Sow and Pigs Reef.
So a quick check of the winter courses and there it was, Course 10 a four lap Windward/Leeward course.
The breeze across the course was light and in narrow bands. So it was going to be an interesting start and first leg. Division 1 was off on time with a clear start, that was easy no one was near the line. Watching them work away from the line the fleet split into those heading left towards South Head and those who went right towards Middle Head. There seemed to be steps up the course and those who took the left early and then tacked right seemed to do better. This pattern also applied to the other two divisions.
Division 1 IRC series leaders MRZ & Stormaway - MHYC Sydney City Marine Winter Series 2012
The first run also saw yachts opting for bear away sets and gybe sets. Again those working the angles and maintaining pressure in the light winds faired best.
On the second work the wind was shifting from the West to South West as predicted and the right side was becoming more favoured. The top mark again saw yachts trying all sorts of different tactics on the short downwind legs.
The bottom mark also provided some interesting sights. A couple of general observations from the start boat, yachts that hoisted their headsails before the mark and dropped their kites at the mark seemed to fare better than those that tried to carry their kites to windward. Turning at the mark seemed an advantage over those who sailed past the mark. Very sage words from the team.
Division 3 series leader In The Red - MHYC Sydney City Marine Winter Series 2012
The windward legs continued to change on each leg as the wind went further south.
But the wind rather than dropping increased slightly to 10 to 12 knots making it a short race.
A great result from the Junior Sailing J24 Whisper with a win on PHS in Division #3.
What a fantastic winters sailing day.
Division #1
Division #2
Division #3
In The Red
Hughie is fully recovered and the forecast for next week is North West 20 to 30 knots. Let's hope Hughie runs out of puff during the week.

8. Ole Miss (5-4, 2-3): The Rebels were unable to upset Georgia last week, falling to the Bulldogs, 37-10, but get what will likely be their best remaining opportunity to become bowl eligible when they take on Vanderbilt, who is also fighting for a bowl berth, this weekend. If Ole Miss loses that game, it would have to either beat LSU or Mississippi State in its next two games to get that pivotal sixth win.

I second the drain plug heaters. Heat rises....They work better than the floaters. The water seems to be more cooler than frigid with the drain plug heater. Just make sure your seal is good, they have a tendency to wear out before the heater does. I wrapped our tank with insulation and duct taped all of the outside which helps. Covering the top half of the tank would help too, just my two cents.
Horse haven't chewed the duct tape yet...knock on wood!


text: I am doing a research project about wind pressure and the different uses one can achieve by changing the pressure, volume and speed. I am comparing a hot air balloon ride vs an air plane vs human flight. I am looking and what minimum and maximum MPH is needed to achieve human flight and with what CFM and what Staic air pressure. I really hope someone can spread light on this information.

Working your magic with Firefox OS - Playing mp4
Everything you are looking for, about Firefox OS development, is either on the Firefox MarketPlace Developer Hub or on the Mozilla Developer Network. We are also publishing blog posts on our blog, Mozilla Hacks, and I will do it also. Once in a while, I come with questions or code examples I want to share that doesn't really fit in the hacks blog for different reasons. In that situation, I'll use my own blog to share with you some of this stuff. Because I like posts series, this one will be named "Working your magic with Firefox OS".
For the first one, I got an interesting question from a developer last week. He was asking if it's possible to play mp4 in a Firefox OS application. The answer is yes, and no. You cannot play a mp4 in the <video> tag for security reason, but there is another way to do it: Web Activity. By using this sample code below, you will be able to play a mp4 file.
Keep in mind that for now, it's not working in the simulator, and it also depends on the codecs on a real device. As an example, it wasn't working with a file using isom, but it worked well with one using mp42 codec.

Mendeley Desktop research collaboration tool reaches 1.0
updated 09:45 pm EDT, Thu July 28, 2011
Research network and library coordination app
Mendeley, a collaborative social network for researchers combined with a cloud-based document management and storage application, has hit several milestones lately: over 1 million individual users, over 100 million research papers in its database, and the release of Mendeley Desktop 1.0 for all three major platforms. The app works as a PDF document management tool and offers levels of public and private collaborative sharing.
The company offers both desktop and mobile versions of the software, which acts as both a library of publicly-shared research as well as a system to view, manage, annotate and publish a user's own papers. The app can provide personalized recommendations for reading based on the items in the user's own "library," and can set up private groups for teams of collaborators to share notes and annotations. When papers are added to it, it automatically extracts relevant information such as title, authors, keywords and other metadata for easy filing, and supports manual adding of tags or filing into categories and groups.
The system, a first for the normally-cloistered academic and scientific research community, has expanded the ability of researchers to compare and be aware of similar efforts in their field of study, as well as making it easier for colleagues to contact each other -- to say nothing of the benefits of more sharing and transparency among researchers and institutions. Authors can track their own papers and gather trends and statistics on its usage, as well as join online research groups.
Without the social and sharing components, the program can act as a standalone reference manager and bibliography generator for papers written in Word or OpenOffice formats. The new 1.0 final release adds duplicate detection, nested folders and an updated Word plug-in that stores a mini-library of frequently-cited papers inside Word and OpenOffice documents. The program also supports Zotero and CiteULike libraries, and can import and export BibTeX, EndNote and RIS formats.
The basic package for Mendeley is free of charge, and includes 1GB of storage space for online papers. A premium edition with more storage space and features ranges from $5-$10 per month.

Smoke Jazz & Supper Club presents world-class jazz seven nights a week. Candlelit tables, plush velvet banquets, antique chandeliers, and an historic full-length bar create a real jazz vibe. Smoke also serves the perfect complement to classic jazz— soulful American cuisine. The room has seating for just over fifty, which ensures that every listener is close to the action. During Smoke's renovation, the primary focus was on creating an unparalleled room for music...and it shows. The acoustics are some of the best anywhere. Pianist David Hazeltine remarked, "I love playing this room. It's rare that the piano can be heard as clearly as it is in this club." Harold Mabern added, "It's the best jazz club in the world." In the 15 years since its opening, jazz has continued to thrive at 106th (aka Duke Ellington Boulevard) and Broadway and Smoke is adding a few new chapters of history to a location that has been host to a legendary jazz venue for over 40 years. Smoke was named "Best New Jazz Club" in 2000 by New York Magazine and has won the open table diner's choice awards for several consecutive years.
Is there an entrance fee to see music?Most feature shows are subject to a music charge while most late night shows are not. Music charges range from $9 – $45 (please see event listing for details). All tickets can be purchased on this website and we highly recommend that you do so. Food and Beverage minimums apply to all shows. Please see event listing for details as policies may change from show to show.
Why are some shows listed as dinner shows?The first two shows on most nights are dinner shows which means all tables are reserved for dining guests only. If you are not looking to have dinner during a dinner show you would be seated at the bar.
Do I have to order full dinner at a table or can we just share appetizers?The dinner sets during our featured artist shows (mostly Friday – Sunday, some exceptions apply—see event listing for detail) have a minimum purchase of one entree per person. But feel free to order appetizers and desserts in addition to your main course, and yes, feel free to share those if you like. The minimum purchase on Prix Fix nights (mostly Sunday – Thursday, some exceptions apply—see event listing for details) is $38 per person so the 3-Course Jazz Dinner Prix Fix is a great way to enjoy the full menu at a discount and cover the minimum purchase at the same time.
Some of your shows list a music charge and a $10 minimum. Can we use the $10 minimum towards food or is this a drink minimum?You may cover your minimum any way you like: food, drinks or a combination of the two, and please remember that our kitchen is open until 1:00am nightly and 2:00am Fridays and Saturdays.
May we stay for more than one set?Each reservation is for one set only. But if we have room we may be able to make an exception. It never hurts to ask and we certainly appreciate your enthusiasm for the music.
Smoke Jazz & Supper Club is located at
2751 Broadway between 105th and 106th Streets
The closest subway stop is 103rd Street on the one train. The closest bus lines are the M60, M7, and M104.
Heads Of State -
Gary Bartz, Larry Willis, Buster Williams, Al Foster
Search for Peace
HEADS OF STATE, FEATURING FOUR OF THE MOST RESPECTED and admired jazz artists of our time releases its first recording Search for Peace. A band over 50 years in the making, Gary Bartz, Larry Willis, Buster Williams, and Al Foster had performed together countless times in different combinations and contexts over their storied careers, but it wasn't until September 2014 that they appeared as a quartet. The occasion that night was a tribute to McCoy Tyner, and the results were so inspired and the response so overwhelming that they knew right away they had something worth keeping. As pianist Larry Willis puts it, "I don't think there are any bands that are doing quite what we're doing right now." Now, their unique chemistry and musicianship is documented on Search for Peace. It features selections by John Coltrane ("Impressions"), Jackie McLean ("Capuchin Swing"), Benny Carter ("Summer Serenade"), Billy Strayhorn ("Lotus Blossom") and, of course, the moving title track by Tyner ("Search for Peace") Gary Bartz contributes two compositions ("Uncle Bubba" which Gary performed with McCoy and "Soulstice") and there are two standards ("Crazy She Calls Me" and "I Wish I Knew" which Tyner famously recorded with Coltrane). It is a well-chosen and balanced set, but the selections are somewhat beside the point; this all-star quartet makes everything sound like magic.

Unfortunately I have no time to work on zRadio. I might continue one day, but until then I'm uploading a free unlocker that will unlock all the features of zRadio for free. This is because I haven't updated for a long time and there is still work to be done on zRadio. If you have bought, or want to buy the paid unlocker, for support, you can still do that. In the future if I continue work on zRadio, those who have the bought unlocker will have unrestricted zRadio even then. ***
This application allows you to listen to your favorite internet radio stations even when you're offline (Internet connection required to record the stations at scheduled times).
Here's how it works:
- Add your favorite internet radio stations
- The app records them automatically at scheduled times
- You can listen to the recordings even without an internet connection
You can for example set the app to record the stations every night when you're at home and you have WiFi. Then during the day when you don't have an internet connection, or when the connection is too slow for internet radio, you can listen to the fresh recordings the app made. I personally use it in my car when I drive around, and there isn't always 3G coverage.
- Supports all formats supported by your phone. For example OGG is supported in Android 2.3+.
- The recordings are lossless (same quality as the station is sending). Only some lossless changes are done to some formats.
- Configurable recording start time and duration (global default and also settings for individual channels). You can also set a station to be recorded manually only.
- You can create multiple recording rules for stations and select weekdays (Pro only).
- The length of the recordings is only limited by your SDCard size, so you'll always have something to listen to when you're offline. (Recording length in Lite mode is 20 min / station).
- "Eyes-free" operation: Switch channel with the volume buttons (safer in car for example). (Phone's menu button / Settings / Playback / Vol. keys change channel).
- Application pauses recording when phone's current connection type is disabled in the settings and then resumes automatically when the phone connects via an allowed connection type.
- Max. bandwidth available setting, so that the app records only x channels simultaneously. The other channels are queued until bandwidth becomes available (Phone's menu button / Settings / Recording / Max bandwidth).
- Seeking (Settings / UI / Show seek buttons)
User reviews:
"I love great music, but I don't want to spend time finding it. I want a professional DJ to play a great mix of new and old music along with commentary. Frankly, the new internet streaming services (Pandora, Slacker, Spotify) aren't good enough for my tastes. None of them have replaced the professional DJ. SiriusXM is the only exception, which my wife has in her car. However, their streaming doesn't offer time-shifting or mobile caching. Additionally, I don't want to pay $12/month for each device. There are lots of radio stations streaming their music on the web. Minnesota Public Radio's "The Current" is a great example. My dilemma: streaming radio doesn't offer time-shifting or mobile caching. Streaming radio works only when I'm hooked up on the internet listening live. What do I listen to when I'm not on wifi or if I want to listen to a program that aired at a different time? zRadio solved this for me. Now I can schedule it to record some great radio programs every night so that I always have access to a variety of fresh quality music. So far the app is working just as advertised and I haven't noticed any problems with it." - Jesse, 5 stars

ALBANY — Albany Technical College has announced the recent appointment of Drenda Davis-Jackson as its new director of admissions.
Since 2009, Davis-Jackson has served as retention and STARS (Students Tracking and Retention Services) counselor at Albany Tech.
In this role, she was responsible for the coordination and implementation for the Grades First student alert, tracking, advisement, and success software available to all faculty and staff, as well as the "test prep" initiative, which is a collaboration between the College's Academic Achievement Center and Admissions to prepare individuals for the college placement test.
"Mrs. Davis-Jackson developed good rapport with students, especially those transitioning from learning support to college level," said Lisandra DeJesus, vice president of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management at Albany Tech.
"Among her many talents, she possesses recruitment/event planning and coordination, community partnership-building experiences, as well as a diverse set of skills that allow her to work well independently and with teams."
As the new admissions director, Davis-Jackson will provide leadership to the 14-member Admissions team to help the College achieve its strategic goals, as well as objectives of the Student Affairs Division, Tech officials said.
Before coming to Albany Tech, Davis-Jackson served as career center manager for Goodwill Industries of the Southern Rivers and as family service worker at CDI Head Start in Albany.
She has a bachelor's degree in psychology from Albany State University and a dual master's degree in education and management from Troy University.

This is the finest Cheval Blanc for many years. It is, quite simply, magnificent. The wine shows the greatness of Cabernet Franc in the vintage, with 57% of the variety in the blend. It is beautifully structured and perfumed, with velvety tannins, balanced acidity and swathes of black-currant and black-cherry fruits. It's well on course to becoming a legendary wine.— R.V. (5/1/2013)
96–98. Barrel Sample. This wine has great tension, with an almost mineral character. The ripe black fruits are complemented by ample acidity, with a stylish structure and enormous aging potential.— R.V. (4/2/2015)
96-98. Beautifully perfumed wine, with aromas of violets, the fruit full of ripe spice to put along with the great berry fruits. Tannins at the end are tough, smoky.— R.V. (6/25/2011)
96-98 Barrel sample. An impressive wine, a true return to form for Cheval Blanc. The fruit is enormous, packed with sweet black berry juice, and with a brilliant freshness. There is a lovely smoky character, topped by ripe figs.— R.V. (8/9/2010)
Plump, padded and comfortable is the initial impression. But this is also finely structured and dense, with tannins that are sweet, flavors of dark chocolate to go with the roundness and the enticing Cabernet Franc perfumes. In all, this is a great wine, with considerable aging potential, but with enough sweet fruit to make it attractive now.— R.V. (6/1/2008)
96-98 Barrel Sample Dark chocolate and mocha flavors, very dark and intense, this is a big, concentrated wine, flavored with bitter cherries and structured. Certainly a great Cheval Blanc.— R.V. (6/1/2007)
In 2000, it seems the Cabernet Franc made Cheval Blanc. It has given a mysterious, wonderful perfume to the intense richness of the Merlot. It has less of the explosive power of Ausone, it is more subtle and elegant, reserving its explosion of richness for the end, when a welter of black fruits seems to go on for ever— R.V. (6/1/2003)
95–97. Barrel Sample. This wine has an impressive depth of flavor for the vintage. Acidity and freshness show through the elegant tannins, giving the wine a stylish structure. It is not a powerful Cheval Blanc, but it is so finely balanced.— R.V. (4/1/2014)
Bright ruby in the glass, this wine is a blend of the Bastardo grape…

Totally Bamboo's Extra Large Greenlite Utility Board is ultra-lite, super strong, and totally -Inchgreen-Inch! It is 3/8 of an inch thick, which means that it's maneuverable and easy to store. It's also durable, it offers tri-ply, cross laminate construction with a specially formulated high temperature adhesive. What more, this beautiful board is made of strong, eco friendly bamboo. The benefits of using bamboo are numerous. For example: bamboo is 16 percent harder than maple, yet easy on your knives, it's naturally anti-microbial and it's eco friendly, it holds the promise of a sustainable, cost effective, and ecologically responsible alternative to the widespread clear cutting of our old growth forests. Totally Bamboo uses organically grown Moso bamboo, so you need not worry about harmful pesticides or fertilizers. Plus, this bamboo is not a food source, or a habitat, for the Giant Panda. Totally good for you and totally good for the environment! What more? This board is easy to maintain and dishwasher safe! Use Totally Bamboo's Revitalizing Oil, after each wash, to extend the life of the board and keep it looking beautiful. Extra large: 20.5 X 14.5 X 3/8-Inch.
Ultra-light and super strong this dishwasher-safe GreenLite utility board from Totally Bamboo is designed by adding stylish functionality to your kitchen. It's crafted from mountain grown, naturally occurring bamboo and is free from formaldehyde based adhesives, dyes, or stains.
Harder than maple, this bamboo board is easy on your knives, and it has gently curved corners and sides for a distinctive look. It measures just 3/8 of an inch thin, making it easy to maneuver from one countertop to the next and easily storable. This extra-large board measures 20-1/2 by 14-1/2 inches and the cutting area is framed by a shallow reservoir to collect excess liquids to control mess. It also includes a hole in one corner for hanging and handling (see more about GreenLite cutting board features in this larger image).
Best of all, this GreenLite bamboo board can be cleaned and sanitized in your dishwasher. Featuring Totally Bamboo's innovative TriPly construction, this board uses a proprietary food-grade adhesive that withstands high temperature washings without compromising its durability or quality. Alternatively, you can also hand wash this board in warm water with a mild detergent.
Totally Bamboo's GreenLite boards need to be oiled regularly to maintain their rich bamboo hue. For optimal appearance, you can use the specially formulated Totally Bamboo Revitalizing Oil (available separately) after each wash to extend the life of the board and keep it looking beautiful. Just apply a generous amount of the mineral oil to your board and spread it with a soft cloth (leaving it overnight if possible). Then, simply rinse before using.
Bamboo is actually a grass that grows to a harvestable height of 60 feet in about three to five years, growing as much as two feet per day. It has an extensive root system that continually sends up new shoots, naturally replenishing itself. It does not require replanting, making it one of the most renewable resources known.
After harvesting, bamboo grows back and can be re-harvested every 4-1/2 years--compared to the 30- to 60-year growth cycle of most hardwoods. Bamboo holds the promise of a sustainable, cost effective and ecologically responsible alternative to the widespread clear cutting of our world's precious timberland.
Bamboo is harder and denser than most hard woods, it is 16 percent harder than maple, which is the most common wood used for most cutting boards. Totally Bamboo uses the "Moso" Chinese mountain timber bamboo species, which is not a food source, or a habitat, for the Giant Panda.
Flattened strips of the timber undergo a series of specialized procedures to sterilize and cure them, which further tightens and tempers the bamboo to the perfect hardness. The bamboo strips are never colored or stained; their dark rich color presents itself when the natural sugars of the wood are caramelized with heat during the curing process producing the permanent honey color of the boards.
Totally Bamboo uses only premium grade bamboo and then, only the lower portion of each pole because it is much denser. Its factory adheres to a very stringent protocol for curing and processing, resulting in the highest quality product attainable. And it's ISO 9001 compliant which is a rating system covering non-polluting environmental issues and employee welfare, safety, and minimum age.
Highly skilled craftsmen thoroughly fine sand Totally Bamboo's cutting boards for a silky smooth touch. For adhering the multiple layers of the bamboo--which is a notoriously difficult material to glue--Totally Bamboo worked with a chemist to develop a high-grade, non-toxic food grade glue (without use of formaldehyde) that is both safe and highly durable.
While operating a small design and manufacturing studio that focused on luxury customized director chairs for the movie industry, Tom Sullivan and Joanne Chen experimented with bamboo in its chairs and found them to be not only lighter but much stronger than the oak they had previously used. Intrigued with using such a renewable material they set out to design various house ware products using their "engineered bamboo" and in doing so, developed the world's first bamboo cutting board. Today, Totally Bamboo is the premier manufacturer for bamboo housewares products--from cutting boards to salad bowls and plates.

Phoenix Suns
LeBron James to the Phoenix Suns? Here's why it should happen
The Phoenix Suns are getting LeBron James.
OK, maybe they aren't. In fact, they're probably not.
But since The King decided to opt out of his contract with the Miami Heat, he will become a free agent and thus be able to sign with whatever team he chooses, which could be the Suns! Is it really an unreasonable thought?
Shoot, folks over at USA Today and Grantland think it's a good idea, and we agree, especially after seeing how comfortable he looked at the US Airways Center while putting on this impressive display during a Miami Heat practice. Who was he showing off for? The Suns, perhaps?
Until he signs with a team that isn't the Phoenix Suns, we're going to assume he might decide that's who he wants to play for. And in case he's waffling on this decision (see what we did there?), here are some of the top reasons for the two-time NBA champion and four-time NBA MVP to come to Phoenix.

Isn't that a weird thing to say about an horror game? I gotta play this one with my girlfriend sitting at my side. :) #2 Agree(5) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Minato-Namikaze + 936d ago To scare her? or comfort you? #2.1 Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply IaMs12 + 936d ago probably a little bit of both! I think im going to try and convince mine to give it a shot too haha #2.1.1 Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report Tdmd + 936d ago A bit of both: to scare her and make it seems I'm not scared too. lol #2.1.2 (Edited 936d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report metalgod88 + 936d ago Honestly man, the less audio there is, the more unnerving a horror game can be. But at the same time, it can feel empty and hollow. Although, sometimes, that's exactly what the creator may want the player to feel. #2.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply RustedMan + 936d ago I feel it's the complete opposite...For most situations. For example, In my favorite survival horror title to date, Silent Hill 2, Sound effects MADE the game. The creepy clanging, crashing, and all around discourse of the soundtrack proved to make the experience hyper-realistic. It was no longer a dark hallway to meander down, but rather, a hallway that is seemingly alive with a presence the player cannot see, but can hear through the muffled footsteps on hardwood floors. I believe that MUSIC can absolutely destroy a survival horror game on the other hand, because it's way too forceful and contrived, and it breaks the immersion that comes with a natural environment. Silent Hill 2 played music sparingly, and only with cutscenes that required it, otherwise the game was entirely sound-effect based. The LACK of sound effects of sorts can help if the intended effect is a jump scare, otherwise it can make the game feel dead, bringing the player to focus on what the game designer does next, and yet again, breaking the illusion. It all depends on the kind of game. the older version of Slender put you in a forest without much of any sound, and that made it incredibly unnerving, I suppose that it just has to be consistent in the game, otherwise a sound effect-heavy game like Silent Hill, turning dead quiet can make the player feel like someone hit a mute button on recorded noises, rather than believe the illusion that the sounds were organic in nature, and came from within the environment. #2.2.1 (Edited 936d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report Tdmd + 936d ago I'm with Rusted on this one. Creepy sound effects were what scared me the most about Dead Space and (previous gen) Resident Evil games. As clichè as it might be, a loud scratching sound at the end of a very very long, dark corridor never fails to make me clench my teeth... #2.2.2 Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report metalgod88 + 936d ago I completely agree with you RustedMan on pretty much all fronts. Thanks for your awesome response. Though I guess I should have been more specific, but when I said less audio, I meant music specifically, but didn't mention it. =\ I've always loved dark ambient music when roaming around and have it pick up when game action picks up. But yeah, pretty much everything that I was thinking you pretty much said. Hats off to you sir. #2.2.3 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report SolidGear3 + 935d ago Actually sounds like a great idea. Have to try it with mine ^_^ #2.3 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply EverydayGuy + 936d ago Hope the music don't make it obvious about a creature popping up out of nowhere. #3 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Add comment You need to be registered to add comments.

1907-05-08 Tommy Burns w pts 20 Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Naud Junction Pavilion, Los Angeles, California, USA
1907-05-08 Tommy Burns w pts 20 Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Naud Junction Pavilion, Los Angeles, California, USA. Referee: Charles Eyton. In a return bout between the two claimants which was nothing like their previous set-to, each and every round became repetitive as Burns (180) chased after O'Brien (167). Although Burns came the closest to ending the fight with the occasional wild swing, O'Brien was too clever to be caught napping, being more interested in getting to the final bell in one piece. Clearly, O'Brien was not up to the task, especially following revelations afterwards that he had offered Burns the winner's end of the purse to take a dive in the 11th round. Fearing that O'Brien would not accept the fight under any other circumstances, although Burns agreed to his terms he had no intention whatsoever of complying with them. According to Burns, having made up his mind to double-cross his opponent at the onset he immediately reported the matter to the promoter. The decision was then made to get both men into the ring before all bets were called off.

European Stocks Gain for Third Day
European stocks rallied for a third day as hope mounted that central banks in Europe and the U.S. will act to bolster economic growth.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index closed up 1% at 257.39. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 ended up 0.8% at 5687.73, Germany's DAX closed 1.3% higher at 6578.21 and France's CAC-40 added 1% to 3271.20.
Oil prices surged higher, boosted by renewed tension over Iran.
As happened Monday, news of economic weakness made it seem more likely that central banks will take measures to bolster growth, underpinning stock prices as well.
Producer-price inflation in the euro zone slowed to its weakest rate in more than two years in May, while in the U.K., the construction sector shrank in June at its fastest pace in more than two years.
"Markets are factoring in a 25-basis-point rate cut from the European Central Bank, an increase in the Bank of England's bond-buying program and improved chances that the Fed will introduce QE3," a third round of quantitative easing, bond purchases meant to drive down interest rates, said Andrew Taylor, strategist at GFT.
The ECB and Bank of England are both set to announce decisions on monetary policy on Thursday. Trading is expected to be quiet on Wednesday, with U.S. markets closed for the Fourth of July holiday.
In the second half of the session, news that industrial orders in the U.S. were better than expected for May lent support, helping investors to shrug off the International Monetary Fund's lowering its growth forecasts for the U.S. this year and next.
Commodity prices rose, boosting mining companies and oil stocks. In London, BHP Billiton rose 2.2% and Rio Tinto jumped more than 3%. In Paris, the oil company Total rose 3%.
Shares of Barclays were volatile, initially gaining more than 2% on news that Chief Executive Robert Diamond will leave the bank amid the scandal over the bank's efforts to manipulate interest rates on interbank loans. The bank has agreed to pay $453 million to settle an investigation into the matter.
Shares ended down 0.8% as investors responded to news that Chief Operating Officer Jerry del Missier, who had been seen as a potential successor to Mr. Diamond, is also stepping down.
German chemicals group BASF and Daimler, the auto maker, both rose 2.3%. Pharmaceutical group Bayer jumped 1.4%.
The euro gained ground, rising to $1.2620 from $1.2576 late Monday in New York. The dollar was trading at ¥79.79, from ¥79.52.
Midday in New York, light, sweet crude for August delivery was up $3.53, or 4.2%, at $87.28 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Am army general in Iran reportedly said the country wouldn't sit "idly by" as the U.S. and Europe built a missile-defense shield program that could target Iran. Iranian authorities staged missile drills late Monday to test weapons reportedly capable of hitting targets as far away as Israel and announced possible legislation aimed at closing the Strait of Hormuz.
Gold for July delivery on Nymex's Comex division was up $26.80, or 1.7%, at $1624.

Pears soap is without a doubt my favourite soap, it has a nice scent that can be enjoyed by either males or females. It is very foamy yet rinses off with ease. It is perhaps slightly more expensive than most soap but it does last longer and retains both its shape and scent.
Pleased to see that this is included your line, we all use soap so why not this superior product?
by Maria Teresa in Italy on 31/08/2013.
Lovely, foamy and creamy soap I live Pears Transparent. It keeps it's shape for ages and though I generally prefer liquid soaps, this is one traditional bar of soap that I won't be without. It has a lovely perfume, not too strong but it does linger. It's also very pretty, my main bathroom is beige so it goes well with the decor ;-)
by Eleni in Greece on 21/08/2013.
This is a lovely transparent soap in a nice orange colour, it maintains its shape and colour for weeks, it is foamy, cleanses the skin well, and is easy to rinse off.
I have several prints of vintage Pears Soap advertisements in the bathroom, and now thanks to the BCS, I can have the actual product as well.
by Margaret in Italy on 03/02/2013.
My husband will only use this soap. He even has a Pears mirror with Bubbles on his wall. It's difficult to find it in Italy and when you do it costs a lot more. when I order the soap I usually get 3 or 4 at a time. He loves it because it has a very subtle perfume - not overwhelming like some men's soaps. Thank you British Corner Shop for a great service, and making my husband happy with his favourite soap.

Rossi has been good overall but not great by his standards, Lorenzo has been excellent but Stoner has had to ride around more problems to be in the position he's in, plus the M1 is a better package than the Duc. Stoner has much better results to this stage of the title than he did last year, and from the corresponding stage last year he won almost half the remaining races. Having Jorge in the spotlight will help take some pressure off but Stoner is still a bigger title threat. Reply Report abuse 1 agree 4 disagree
