OU football: Sooners' Insight Bowl triumph over Iowa ends the season on an uptick
TEMPE, Ariz. — It'll be a happier new year in Norman.
Something good happened Friday for Oklahoma football. It had been a while.
The Sooners smiled and celebrated together here on the Sun Devil Stadium turf after a 31-14 Insight Bowl victory against Iowa. The game was played in front of a bowl-record 54,247 fans.
"We worked hard and wanted to come out and get a win," said OU quarterback Blake Bell, the game's offensive MVP who scored three more rushing touchdowns in the Belldozer package. "And we did."
A dissatisfying go of it in recent weeks, thanks to two of three losses to end the regular season and a handful of transfers, was stemmed by hoisting a trophy.
The restlessness back home should be somewhat calmed entering 2012 – at least relative to the alternative of another loss.
"This gives us some momentum for the guys coming back next year," said OU coach Bob Stoops, who defeated his alma mater in the schools' first meeting since 1979, when he was a freshman.
A 35-yard Michael Hunnicutt field goal with 2:28 to play put OU ahead by 10. Bell's 21-yard run on fourth-and-1, with only 45 seconds remaining, was an exclamation on things.
It was the third touchdown of the game for Bell, named the bowl's offensive MVP — something that would have seemed incredibly improbable back in August.
That was sort of the nature of the season, finding the unexpected — positive and negative — during the course of the fall.
A walk-on, Dom Whaley, appeared and emerged at running back, but then was lost for the season. Early momentum came in wins at Florida State and against Texas, but then that was negated by the home toe-stump against Texas Tech.
After Ryan Broyles was lost Nov. 5 to a knee injury, the offense hiccupped and the secondary struggled in losses to Baylor and Oklahoma State.
A long December ended, though, on the uptick.
It's the third consecutive bowl victory for the Sooners, going back to the BCS title game against Florida. OU finishes the season, one with national championship aspirations, 10-3.
With Iowa at full strength, and the Sooners depleted, this might have been a mismatch. But the Hawkeyes were hurt greatly by the recent suspension of leading rusher Marcus Coker.
Without his 1,384 yards, Iowa was left looking for a runner. Freshman Jordan Canzeri rushed 22 times for 68 yards — only 2.6 yards a carry.
"The guys were where they needed to be," Stoops said.
The Sooners defense, punished for 278 rushing yards and 44 points against Oklahoma State, held Iowa relatively quiet. The Hawkeyes did manage 292 total yards, but they didn't score until there were 14 minutes, 46 seconds left in the game.
And an early interception by cornerback Jamell Fleming, the defensive MVP, set up OU's first score — a Bell 4-yard run.

Anyone have a route slip they can email to me for a ride from Orange County to San Diego?
I know the MS150 or Amtrak Century would work, and there may be others too.
Or links to sites with routes would be helpful also. Tried the UCSD site but didn't see anything going from OC to SD.

This is a great forum. I found it while looking up information on folding bikes. I use my bike for commuting because I can't stand being stuck in traffic in a car. I really like passing all those cars stopped on the 14th Street bridge every day! Now that the time has changed, I need a bike that I can still ride 12 miles to work in the morning, but put on the Metro in the evening.
My first bike was a green Schwinn banana seat thing, followed shortly by a beautiful white Jacques Anquetil children's bike that my dad bought for me. I was hooked from age 8. I now ride a Jamis Coda Comp for commuting. My old racing frame broke in an accident last year (as did my helmet, yikes). It was a 1980 Vitus. I also have a very heavy 1985 Stumpjumper and a 1951 JC Higgins 3-speed.
Bikes are great! So are heads! Wear your helmet!

I need urgent help here to deal with overheating of gpu. My friend called me last week to configure a gpu. It is RADEON HD 6950. I fixed it and it worked well. Then again he called me and said that the pc is getting restarted on its own and some it does not turn on at all. When I checked I found that the gpu is heating a lot. I downloaded a GPU temperature monitor and that showed me temperature between 70 to 80C every time. Is this temperature normal or it is quiet high. I checked in my system which has a nVidia gpu. The temperature in that lies between 35 to 45C when I play games.
So it looks that RADEON HD 6950 is getting too hot. What should I do now to get this fix.

Saw this today on WIRED
Saw this today on WIRED
Just keep your distance and don't feed them, the're generaly harmless.
whats the problem?
That guy powder coating without a mask, that can't be good.
I'm not getting the problem here. If a guy toiling building frames is getting recognition, that's awesome. If the Arcade Fire kids like bikes, great...just don't drew them.
Makes all the old steel bikes I wanna get more EXPENSIVE NOW!!!
Hmmm. . . Hipsters riding geared bikes - and soon horizontal top-tubes. - Soon they'll be US!
- Auchen
I fail to see the issue...
I thought this thread was going to be about hipsters cutting off derailleur tabs or something. Instead, you're worried about a guy fulfilling his passion?
No, really, I'm happy more people are riding. Even myself, at a young tender age, wanted to learn frame building back in the 80's. This is cool stuff but more sad that steel bikes are getting more expensive. Oh wait, then my stuff will be worth more! Sweet.
I guess I'm just feeling old
We weren't called hipsters in the 80's. We were just called "those freaking cyclists that's taking up the road"
Look at it this way...it makes the bikes you have more valuable
I think we got called alternateens.
I don't get the hipsters reference, but I liked the article.
"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize"
"So I do not run like someone who doesn't run toward the finish line. I do not fight like a boxer who hits nothing but air."
"And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us."
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
Off-topic, but for anyone in the area that ride through Occidental is amazing. What a cool ride and a cool town. The only time I've done it, however, was on a Harley Electraglide that I rented. I think I should re-do that ride on a bike.
If anyone needed a reminder...
I don't get where the OP was going with this either, but I enjoyed the article. Thanks!

Hey! I resemble that remark. My daughter still laughs at my soul patch.
Half of the time I fear I may not know what the hell Im doing; the other half, Im sure of it.
You guys are too touchy. I think there's too much snow in the country and most everyone is getting cabin fever. Relax guys, just a cool article on frame building. I threw the hipster part in there cause they look like hipsters. But they are making old bikes more expensive. Even my friends at work are asking me to get them an old frame and make a SS. Its all good. Get out and work out! Sweet.
What's a soul patch?
See the thing under Diz's lower lip?
Cyclists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lube but your chains!
Hahaha!! Trust fund check. Love it. You guys are master google image masters!!!
Didn't see any hipsters. Cool article though.
This is such a complete non-issue, I have no idea where the hipster thing even enters the picture.
Looks like a fight searching for a ring?

Black Pioneers Helped Settle the American Frontier
Doyle, Eva M., The Buffalo News (Buffalo, NY)
There were many black pioneers of the Old West. These included both men and women. One of the best-known black cowboys was Nat Love, sometimes known as Deadwood Dick. He was born a slave in Tennessee in 1854, and headed West at the age of 15. He arrived in Dodge City and soon landed a job as a cowpuncher. He wrote his biography in 1907 and told of meeting some of the bad men of the Old West, including Billie the Kid and Frank and Jesse James.
However, his claim to fame came when he entered the rodeo at Deadwood City in the Dakota Territory on July 4, 1876. He could rope, saddle and ride a wild mustang better than any man. He became known for his rodeo skills. An excellent series on Nat Love and the black cowboys can be found in the Robert Miller books.
Many people probably remember the cowboy television shows of the past featuring Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Kit Carson and Wild Bill Hickok. I grew up watching these shows, but I did not see any about black cowboys. I can still remember Roy Rogers in his white hat, with his beloved horse, Trigger, at his side. He was one of the singing cowboys of the time.
However, there was a black singing cowboy in the early days of film. His name was Herb Jeffries. One of the movies he made in 1939 was called "The Bronze Buckaroo." There were several other black Westerns made, but they were not shown to a wide audience. Images are powerful. This is one reason why it is important to show African-Americans in a variety of roles, because the images that you grow up with can stay in your mind forever.
Black women also played many important roles in the Old West. One who comes to mind is Mary Fields, also known as Black Mary. She was born in 1832. In the town of Cascade, Mont., Fields had no equal. She was 6 feet tall and weighed more than 200 pounds. She was good with her fists and always carried a six-shooter.
When I think of the great history of the U.S. Postal Service, I think of Fields. She was the second female to ever drive a U.S. mail coach. She got the job through the influence of a nun named Mother Amadeus. The folks around Cascade knew her as a freight hauler, laundress, restaurant owner and the driver of a mail coach. She delivered the mail seated on top of the mail coach for eight years without missing a day. She was known as Stagecoach Mary.
Fields also helped the nuns in Cascade build a school. She worked hard through the harsh winters and did most of the tough work. …

May 27, 2016
Michigan's basketball team should beat Northwestern in Ann Arbor Wednesday night, but after that the Wolverines have a rough stretch that well could define their season. Michigan hosts Michigan State next Tuesday and the Spartans may bring a 16-game winning streak into Crisler Centre. After that game, Michigan goes to Arkansas, Purdue and Ohio State, hosts Indiana, then plays the return game at Michigan State. The Wolverines could be in tough situations in all of those games. They are 13-3 at the moment and ranked 13th and after that stretch they will clearly have moved up or down in the league standings and the polls.
I have Michigan behind Ohio State, Michigan State and Indiana in terms of quality, but where the Wolverines end up at seasson's end remains to be seen-- and yet this six game stretch could be great or devastating or maybe somewhere in between.

Since I upgraded to WP 2.5 i can't use this plugin, it sends out a 404 error page!
What can I do?
Since I upgraded to WP 2.5 i can't use this plugin, it sends out a 404 error page!
What can I do?
Try the 2.30 beta version.
Your plug-ins look great, but when I try to follow the instructions, I can't even get to the WP-Admin section. Is it my hosting service? There is no "admin" button in the interface, and I looked into the folder on the FTP side, and there's no way to set the email options. I even signed on to my site as "admin" and there just isn't an option for WP-Admin.
Okay, maybe I'm dumb, but I'm definitely missiong something here.
Can you help?
There should be an email tab when you login to WP admin panel
There isn't. Email is handled through the server side (Horde), not in WP.
If you give me an address, I can send a screen capture.
Brian: Go to http://example.com/whatever/wp-admin. That's your WordPress admin page. Activate the plugin and such there. Basically, just add "wp-admin" onto your page's URL.
Hi Otto,
Thanks for your response. I understand how to log into my WP account, but there isn't any email tab there. The closest thing to it is under the users section, where there's an input box for the email account name a specific user. But there isn't an email tab or any way to configure email.
All email issues are handled through the control panel for the hosting account. That's where I read the email, configure forwarding addresses, auto responses, etc. None of that is possible through my version of WP that I get through my host.
What is the path you have uploaded wp-email to?
I don't know the path, but I can try asking my host company for it. Below is the URL if that's any help. Should I ask my hosting company?
let me rephrase it, where you uploaded WP-Email to?
Oh, sorry, my mistake entirely.
Here's the path:
My server doesn't have my account setup in it's own named folder like many/most others (i.e. writertotheworld)
so is wp-email in its own folder? is it nested?
Yes, it's in its own folder. I haven't opened it, but I assume all is as it should be, and I wouldn't know the difference anyway.
The path should be /wp-content/plugins/wp-email/ and that should not be any other folder inside there except images
The path is correct. Just as you said it should be.
Deactivate and activate the plugin again
I figured out the problem. Rather than enshrine myself in the "Hallowed Hall of Half-Wits," I'd rather not tell you what I did wrong.
Dude, this is great! I love it. Do all your plug-ins work like this?
I'm still in beta stage, working out a lot of kinks, but as soon as I'm done, I will make a donation. Please let me know what's appropriate.
My Deepest Thanks,
Hi Brian, thanks for the donations =) If you like, my paypal email is lesterchan AT gmail DOT com =)

Chinese Web portal NetEase in Q4 continued its investment in mobile gaming and started expanding outside China, but it hasn't gained much traction with either effort.
The company, long a leader in desktop gaming, launched its first three mobile games in 2013.
But sales of those games have yet to offset its slowing PC gaming business, and NetEase (NTES) late Wednesday missed Wall Street's revenue expectations for Q4.
The company said sales excluding some taxes rose 9.8% from the year-earlier quarter to $400.2 million, less than the $408.6 million analysts had expected, according to Thomson Reuters. NetEase had posted 23% sales growth in Q3.
Gaming sales rose 14%, but that's down from 21% in Q3.
The company said its taxes jumped 191% to $26.9 million.
Still, NetEase stock, down early Thursday, ended the day up 1.2% as its Q4 earnings topped Wall Street expectations. Earnings per share minus items rose 28% to $1.57 vs. analyst views of $1.42.
Yet the Beijing-based company's focus on mobile will pressure its financial results in the short and long term, says T.H. Capital analyst Tian X. Hou, who on Monday downgraded the stock to hold from buy.
NetEase, through a partnership with Activision Blizzard (ATVI), has long held the exclusive license in China for "World of Warcraft," a popular video game. But while WoW remains one of the most popular MMORPGs — or massively multiplayer online role-playing games — that category isn't growing in China.
Such games are usually played on desktop computers, and gamers are fleeing to mobile devices.
Name Of The Game
The number of MMORPG gamers in China inched up less than 1% to 338 million in 2013 from 336 million the year before, Beijing-based Hou wrote in her research report Monday.
Meanwhile, mobile gaming and other mobile activities have climbed. The number of mobile game players in China jumped 54% last year to 215 million, she says. The number of mobile music listeners jumped 36% to 291 million, and the number of mobile video watchers jumped 84% to 247 million.
NetEase's focus on desktop gaming is a challenge, notes Hou.
"For NetEase, it appears they have already begun to experience those difficulties," she wrote.
NetEase's gross profit margin slipped to 71.3% in Q4 from 74.1% in Q3. That's in part because the company is spending more to build and market new games, acting Chief Financial Officer Onward Choi told analysts on a conference call late Wednesday.
"But in view of the fact that there would be more intense competitions in the market … we do see that there would be some compressions to our existing operating margins a little bit," CEO William Ding added.
Tencent and other Chinese firms are eyeing gaming on smartphones and tablets. Search giant Baidu (BIDU) paid $1.9 billion for mobile app marketplace 91 Wireless in August 2013. Qihoo 360 Technology (QIHU) is building a mobile gaming store.
NetEase's operating costs in Q4, which include research and development for new games, rose 11.7% from Q4 2012, to $107.1 million.
At the same time, the company plans international expansion, says Ding. It launched a mobile game, "Ghost," in Vietnam in Q4 and plans to launch other games in Vietnam and Thailand in Q1, Ding said on the call.
One mobile game that NetEase launched is "Burst Sky," which Choi called a "Western fantasy-style sight scrolling shooter game."
He added: "Hence, we expect this game to be highly appealing to overseas players."
The company provided no figures for non-China sales.
Overseas, he said, will be "at the forefront of our growth."

Welcome to Jean Johnson's
Official Website
Still a lot going on in the background, but hey, I have a convention schedule for you!
Conventions I Will Be Attending:
I will be at Sakuracon early on Friday, March 25th in Seattle, and if anyone wants to meet up with me then, well, I should have black and purple hair by then so I hopefully will be easier to spot. I will also be helping give a presentation at the Pop Culture Association national convention that day, but that's a closed-attendance thingy. (I got asked to help out when the main presenter lost the writer who was originally going to help her to another commitment.)
I do not at this time have plans to attend Norwescon this year; instead, I will be attending my State Democratic Caucus on March 26th. I encourage everyone living in a democracy-style government to participate in their government, to study the issues and the candidates, and to vote with a well-educated conscience. (Depending on how exhausted I feel afterward, I might or might not attend Norwescon afterward.)
After that, I will be at BDSMWritersCon in Everett, WA, March 31st through April 3rd. It's for 18+, geared toward writers and readers in the kink community.
The next convention after that is the big romance one, RT in Las Vegas at the Rio; I'll be down there from the 11th to the 19th of April, and I'll get to meet up with Good_Witch from HP fanfic fandom, as well as with my editor, Cindy. (I get to meet up with two awesome ladies, yaaay!)
....And then that'll be it until WorldCon in August, which this year takes place in Kansas City, MO.
Upcoming Books:
I have finished THE BLOCKADE and shipped it off, and my editor accepted it, so, yay! That book comes out at the end of the year (yes, the end of December 2016) in mass market paperback. The cover art is awesome; if you're a Patreon subscriber of any level ($1 or higher, ) you get to see stuff like that well in advance. I'll post the book cover later this year, when we get closer to the release date. So for all of you waiting for the end of the First Salik War, the trilogy of First Contact, politics, and a smidge of war (most of the smidge is in this book), it's on its way to becoming an actual book.
I do have one other book releasing before then, but it's an ebook format, so for those of you who prefer print copies and avoid electronic stuffs...well, the semi-good news is that if I sell enough of the ebook versions, InterMix (which is producing the novel) will do a print run! The downside, of course, is getting enough copies sold.
That book is DAWN OF THE FLAME SEA, and the Flame Sea starter trilogy is about an advanced, elven-like race coming to desert on a primitive world of Bronze Age humans, and trying to figure out how to get along as things keep going wrong. It will be released in early June, and will be followed by DEMONS OF THE FLAME SEA (which I will start writing this weekend), and GODS OF THE FLAME SEA. If you've ever been fascinated by Petra in Jordan (Think the place where the grail was kept in Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade), by tribes, by the clash of cultures, or by elves but are bored with forests and want to see them surviving in a desert setting instead--plus many other things--this will be a series to love. Plus, it will be shorter than my usual books! About half the length, in fact, so cheaper to buy, faster to read, and a different twist on the usual tropes found in high fantasy.
If everyone likes that universe, there will be lots more coming. For the sake of those who like print books, please spread the word everywhere if you do like it. Booksales drive everything a publisher does, so the more books sold, the more interest they take in it. The more people you tell about the book in a positive or enthusiastic way, leaving reviews, spreading word of mouth, so on and so forth, the more likely someone new is going to buy it.
As soon as I am done writing the last of the trilogy, I **promise** I will work on the next book in the Guardians of Destiny universe, book 4, THE TEMPLE. We will finally get back to the story of the demon-conjuring ex-Mekhanan priests being chased across the world, thrown out of kingdom after kingdom in accordance with prophecy. I had a lot of health problems last year that disrupted my ability to write, and I thank you all for your patience in waiting so very long. That is the last of the three remaining books I have under contract, they **will** get written, and then I can finally...um...hm. Well, get a new contract, yay!
Awesome New Stuff Coming Soon:
You've been begging me to release more stories, and I have heard you.
I'm going to be using Payhip within the next month or so to start producing a serialized science fiction story, or set of stories, called the Cellworld Chronicles. These will have romance, action, violence, a wide variety of antagonists, and a whole bunch of worldbuilding, as we follow a couple of bushcraft experts struggling to survive on a very primitive world while their high-tech society offworld crumbles. If you're not sure what a serial is, think comic book series, like how issues #11-27 covered a particular story arc, with a little bit of the story delivered each month...except I may put these up faster than once a month, and it'll have a lot more issues than just a handful.
So for those of you who want me to give them a story every single month...I have found a way to do so. I will also be putting up short stories in an electronic format on Payhip, which might be related to a particular universe, or might be one-shots. I will have links to everything here on the website, plus will be spamming them on Twitter (@JeanJAuthor), on Facebook (Fans of Author Jean Johnson), Tumblr (/JeanJAuthor), and more. Patreon will still be my go-to place for sneak peeks at behind the scenes stuff and advanced previews, which will be running the premium-style version of "pay Y amount, and get access to both X and Y levels of content." However, its pay-per-thingy format is inadequate for a serialized story.
For those of you going, "Ugh, I don't wanna read a whole book on an ereader/ my computer/ my cellphone!" That's the brilliance of a serialized story. The chapters posted won't be very long--I'll have another post explaining the pay structure to wordcount ratio, but it'll be quite fair to both you as the reader and me as the person slaving away to create everything...and each installment will be 15k-18k words. This way, the story can easily be read while sitting at the computer, or on your smartphone or tablet or whatever, squeezing in a little bit of reading time into your busy day. It doesn't take long to read a comic book issue, after all, and then you get to savor the anticipation of the next issue coming out soon--and a lot sooner than the typical novel-format story in a trilogy, or an octilogy (what the heck was I thinking??), so on and so forth.
Why am I doing this? I have indeed heard everyone urging me to put out more writing. I really do want to get more stories to everyone every single month. However, it is difficult to write an entire novel-length story in a single month...and some stories are too huge to pack into a novel-sized format. Plus, I will get paid more evenly than I currently am, because there'll be at least some money coming in every month...and Payhip's payment to its content creators will be around 90% given to me, 5% to Payhip for their hosting services, and around 5% for PayPal, etc.
So I am looking forward to this combination of what you want (something new to read every month!) and what I can do best (biiiiiig stories), and I hope you'll help spread the word. More info on the serialized story and how it will all work for payment, etc, will be coming soon...but for now, I have to get back to work!

Working on the Christmas presence
Christmas Day for some can involves family dinners and present-giving slotted around the work roster, writes BRIAN O'CONNELL
While most of us will be trying to dig out the last few edible sweets from a box of jellies, or patting our post-Christmas dinner paunches, spare a thought for those for whom Christmas Day is just another workday.
From gardaí to phone operators, medical workers to employees in the catering industry, Christmas Day for some often involves family dinners and present-giving slotted around the work roster.
So what's it like to actually work on Christmas Day? Is the boss more likely to grant a raise? And what about having to share the day with an employee you never really liked? We spoke to some people scheduled to work on Christmas Day.
Paul Bugler
Farmer in Co Clare
You hope to be winding down by the time Christmas Eve comes along. This year will be a little bit different because of the weather last summer.
Traditionally we'd make silage and you would then fill up the shed twice a week. This year our stock for fodder is a lot lower so we are dispersing it out individually. There will be a bit more work on Christmas Day this year as a result.
At about 8am I'd make my way down to the shed. I'll have the place filled from the night before and that would save me half an hour. I then take the bales of hay apart, and fork them out. It is like a big workout session in the gym and lasts for about three quarters of an hour. The bad summer means we are at least fitter by the end of the year.
I'd go back in then and have a bit of breakfast and spend time with family and a few friends call up. We always go for a walk around the back of the mountain. We have the dinner at about 3pm or that way. In the evening then I do some more work, which would take another 45 minutes to an hour. Outside of this you keep a close eye on things during the day.
We always try and avoid having cows calving at Christmas, but you do have to keep an eye on stock. I remember one Christmas we had to go out in the middle of dinner as a load of sheep were being chased by dogs.
Working after the dinner is great because I tend to find the dinner too big. It's great to get a workout for an hour when we're feeding the animals again in the evening. I actually love working on Christmas morning. I like walking into the shed, because the donkey and the cows were all part of the original Christmas, so it is nice to be with animals on that morning.
Conor Hennigan
General manager of the Malton Hotel, Killarney, Co Kerry
In this hotel, and when it was part of the Great Southern Hotels group, it was always a tradition that the hotel would open for Christmas Day and that the general manager would host festivities. My family move into the hotel here with me for Christmas Day. We've been doing it for 12 years.
Early on Christmas morning it is quiet around the hotel unless there are lots of kids staying. If so they'll be cycling their new bikes around from early. At 9.30am or 10am people come down for breakfast and we have a tradition whereby Santa arrives about 12.30pm.
We don't do lunch for guests. Instead we do dinner in the evening time. I'll spend time with my family or I'll mingle with guests and then we open the restaurant at 6pm for traditional Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.
My family join in and so we get to sit down together, and after we'll join in the dancing in the lobby.
I don't mind working the day. As the kids have gotten older, I said to them last year they didn't have to come if they didn't want to. But they want to come to the hotel for Christmas and it has become a family tradition.
We organise the roster so that where possible single people work Christmas and married staff are off, while for the New Year we switch it around. It works pretty well. One of the key things we've always done is that on Christmas Day management on duty organise a party around lunchtime and we serve the 40 to 50 staff that will be working a Christmas lunch. It's a bit of fun and we serve a glass of wine or a beer. It makes things easier for what can be a difficult day for some staff.
Andrea Hayes
Continuity announcer for TV3
Myself and the other announcer, Conor Cleere, work the day between us. He does daytime and I do the evening. All the programmes would be tight and in place beforehand so really we are there in case something goes wrong or if there is a last minute change to the schedule.
My voice goes out from 7pm, so I arrive at 6pm, and normally I'd be there until 2am or 3am, but I might finish earlier. This year is different as I now have a daughter who was born in July last year. I didn't work last year as I was on maternity leave.
Some of the continuity we would pre-record the day before. On Christmas Day we tend to play a lot of movies, and they are generally long ones, so we'd be able to relax and watch the films while we are here. It is all liable to change though. For instance, when the actor Bill Tarmey passed away recently we had a lot of changes to the schedule at short notice after the story broke.
My colleague in the morning would get to say "Happy Christmas", and in the evening I might say something like "I hope you are enjoying your Christmas Day so far?" and I might make a reference to the festivities. It is a day when people in work are a lot more relaxed than normal and we'd pass a few mince pies around and people bring in chocolates and sweets.
I have worked the past few Christmas Days, and I'm also here on Christmas Eve. Even though I may have seen the movies before, I will still watch them while I am in work. Miracle on 34th Street is one of my favourites, and no matter how many times I've seen it, if I can I will watch it in work again this year.
Darrin Bell
Service operational worker with Dublin Simon
This year I was entitled to have the day off as I have worked the last few. But some staff have kids and live outside Dublin, and, as I am from Canada, live near the shelter and don't have kids, I take a day off in lieu down the line. I'll be working from 8am till 7pm and the day will start with a fry-up for the residents at the shelter. It gives the residents a reason to get up. If they don't have family, waking up on Christmas morning can be a depressing feeling.
We always have a dinner here at some time in the evening, and we try and get each resident a little gift. Some companies would donate things like hats and scarves. Before I leave at 7pm we organise a pre-made turkey dinner with potato and vegetables.
Of course, I would prefer not to work and spend it with family and not have to get up. Christmas Day is not so important for me to have a good time. I don't mind spending that time with someone else to whom it is important. I can't remember the last one I had off. Maybe if I was working in a company where the owners were making money from me, I would resent having to work. But because I work for Dublin Simon, it doesn't seem like anything I should be resenting really.
Paul Colton
Church of Ireland Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross
Naturally for me, Christmas Day involves church. I've worked Christmas Day now since the age of 24, when I was first ordained. It is not so much work though, as a way of life and intrinsic to what it is all about for me. It can be very demanding.
There is a lot going on in terms of people to visit, especially when they are ill. Usually we work hard in the run-up to Christmas and on Christmas Day I am finished by about mid-afternoon. I'm always at the cathedral at 11.15am and then after that I, along with Bishop Buckley and the lord mayor, go to the St Vincent de Paul organisation where we help serve Christmas lunch. I have dinner with my family when I get in and we never open our presents until evening time when everyone is relaxed.
When I was working in parishes you could get called out a lot on Christmas Day to hospitals or to emergencies. We're usually busy right up until January 6th, and after that, when everyone else is thinking of going back to work, I begin to think of taking a few days rest. My family has always understood that their Dad does this, and they slot in around it. It suited really well when Santa was coming because of the fact the children got up so early. I could get up with them and before I had to go out, I could share in their joy.
It is a big day though as a bishop. More than any other time of the year people come to church at Christmas, and they do listen to the message. Since November, I'd be thinking about what I will talk about on the 25th or what angle I will take on the Christmas message. The message is the same every year – you just have to communicate it in a contemporary way. In the evening time, like many others, I usually relax with the Christmas RTÉ Guide, and I'll go through what to watch. That's really my down time, until the following day that is.

Can I connect multiple Wireless Camera's without interfering with other recievers?
Essentially I want to have two wireless cameras coming back to a single LCD with the ability to switch between sources... Will two of these work or will I get interference?
By James Sep 13, 2012
You can only connect 1 camera to a receiver in this set. Here is the link of the set with 2 cameras :
Thanks for shopping with us! :)

Is the camera focus optimized for short range?
The spec says max object range is 4-6 meters. Are object images blurred at greater ranges?
If so, at what range is the image too fuzzy?
By Dick Aug 14, 2012
How do you determine if you have a NTSC or PAL TV type?
I have an LCD TV to use as video playback with the wireless camera
By Bryan Dec 20, 2011
Dear Bryan,
This depends on which country you are from. Generally speaking, if you are from the USA, Mexico, Japan, Canada, you may order the NTSC TV system. If you are from German, HK, the UK, Italy, The Netherland, And Mid East, you may order the PAL TV system.
Thank you for shopping with us:)

E' possibile con questo ricevitore far funzionare contemporaneamente due telecamere?Posso collegare un'altra telecamera?
By tom Mar 15, 2015
I have bought one set. If i buy more sets (3 more) will the signals interfere each other?
I have one set and is fairly satisfied. The set does most of what it is supposed to to.
Except: Battery adapter performed very poorly with the recommended 9V battery. I was able to make it work very well with a much bigger and more powerful 12V battery.
My question here is: I want 4 different sets of the same type, in the same room. I noticed that you can adjust frequency on the receiver, but not the camera. Are all cameras broadcasting on the exact same frequencies? If the answer is yes, it means i cannot have multible camera sets in the same room.

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K
There's still no viable alternative to the Core i5-2500K in our thousand-dollar enthusiast build. This is a CPU that holds onto the best price, performance, and overclocking values we've seen, and it's almost a year old already!
With four execution cores running at 3.3 GHz and spinning up to 3.7 GHz with a single core active in Turbo Boost mode, plus 6 MB of L3 cache, this efficient 32 nm chip has no equal in the $200 price range. If you'd like to learn more check out our Core i5-2500K launch coverage.

Motherboard: EVGA P67 Micro SLI
While MSI showed us a good time with its P67A-G43 in last quarter's SBM for a low $130 price tag, we wanted to mix things up a bit this month. So, we're going with EVGA's P67 Micro SLI.
We don't really need the extra space inside the chassis. But when we started filling in our shopping list, this Micro ATX model was one of the most affordable options with two x8 PCIe slots. At today's price of $150 it has more competition. But it will be interesting to see how the board fares, regardless.

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper TX3
We're trying to make space in our budget for the SSD drive, so we need an inexpensive, yet high-performance CPU cooler. At $19.80, we've seen Cooler Master's Hyper TX3 do a decent job for us in the past, and we're employing it in our current build.

013thmonkey , 21 September 2011 16:40I did, not really the point though is it? Oh and the Submit button doesn't work in ie9 unless i'm using compatability mode, this has been noted in formums before, emailed before, ie9's been out for 6 months, and whilst its not that popular 4.2% of total according to some figures, its bigger than opera and safari... And if I switch to compat mode with copy and paste of text I lose my comments. Some submit buttons don't work at all - Toms IT pro I'm looking at you, an email to the authors garners no response, very pro on both counts. This is going downhills fast, if there's a refresh coming up then put a notice up saying so and apologising for the poor standards, but there was one a few months ago, along with a drop in content. I've been following toms for over a decade, will it get another decade out of me, it could, but only if thy make the pages work and keep the content, both published and user generated, relevant.
Sorry tranzz, you only said change a 2 to a 3.
0tranzz , 21 September 2011 16:45I am using IE9 and agree with ^

Does this mean that a 600W PSU is more than adequate for a SLI set up? What about for example a GTX570 SLI rig? I've heard the GF100 chips are a lot more efficient.

i don't know what happened here. I created a site and worked on it without mapping the domain. then when I tried mapping the domain it kept going to the main site's registration page.
The only way to get the domain to route is to input it in the Network Admin>Sites>mysite>Domain and change that from something.networkdomain.com to something.com. But then when I try to access the admin which is on something.networkdomain.com/wp-admin, it takes me back to the main site's registration page.

dont worry about Shell, but dont have too much expectations about it. Thats all i can say and think about. If they keep paying the dividends then the stock never will drop dramatically. But i dont expect it will come higher then $80,00.
Its more interesting to buying RDS at NY from eurozone with euro's because of eur/$ drop.
This is a pure dividend stock. Not for speculative investors.
I see almost the first 15 minutes for RDS.A almost the average day turnover has been traded?
its very exciting what comes. The oil stocks still have very high values on the exchange.
But with this kind of oil prices what would RDSA do in january if they present the results.
They cannot hold their profits with cost savings only.
In Holland the most important analists still believe RDS will hold its dividend because is never has lowered its dividend sinds 1907??? Something like this.
trading is being a slave from the system. I quit with it.
(I meand the listing in Amsterdam. Tomorrow high was E28.64. Close E27.72.
This morning RDS almost 3% higher in Amsterdam. And now unch and 10 minutes ago it was in the red.
Its not very strange this RDS-sentiment. Big drop in oil prices leads to an underperforming RDS. If it will recover (but tháts the question) Shell will make its price loss good in short time.
RDS is for Dutch investors the last hope sometimes because of the stable dividends. But nothing is guaranteerd.
I only invest with derivatives on it.
Today Dutch Index recovers strong but Shell lags again. Just +0.5% higher.
Its the oil price and whats coming on with Shell resutls next quarters.
I think AT THE MOMENT big investors thinking short till Shell will come with results next quarter.
i dont know if that is the reason for the backing the gain. With a BO the stockprice would drop and in case of a merger i dont know if it was positive on short term.
Shell cannot pay a byyout in my opinion. Loaded with debt even i heard they pay the dividend on loan basis.
And remember: European companies are not the same as US-companies. In Europe we fell in love with the Wall Street indexperformances (but also wonder how!).
i will type slower preventing making mistakes in my sentences. I am sorry again.
I thought Shell would reach 28+. euro today. But it failed.
RDS is not the same as XOM en CVX. European stocks focus on dividend not in stockperformance. I expect RDS will not come over 32.00 euro. It was 31.00 euro in last summer. At the moment: 27.35. Dissapoint again and again!
Always Cannaccord lowered today TP for RDS. I am from Holland so apologize for my not so good English. Because of oilprice drop this is all about. Shell stays on Dutch stockindex best/biggest stock to have. But it underperforms signifantly to the index since Sep (+4,-10%).
I read a today on the Internet i thought i little downgrade from an American Investment bank but price target unchanged
I hate this kind of #$%$. Why can personal investors buying stocks if they dont have inside information which those banks have?
The stock market is an unfair casino.
this is a non-cash item but, however, it ís a loss. A big loss. And they paid earlier for this assets the price they now impair on it.
i dont know. If i look the earnings the company has done good/great efforts in costcutting but it is maybe not enhough to turn the future perspective drastically.
I expected this.
if earnings are received positive stock tomorrow will go back to $9,50.
If its bad 10% lower.
Al the iron ore companies are in bad weather. For example Arcelor Mittal.
I wonder when this former big market cap will revive and CLF as well.
Read negative article on S.A. about the stock potential and there trials. The author called their drugs caght sirup. Very negative.
This stock i knew when i was in 5 years ago when the price was about $3,00-$4,00 for 1 year.
The stock price now has been risen year by year now and for me a positve sign.
whats the biggest threat for this company?
yes. you are right. I am from Holland and expect that ING will be outperform the dutch stock index (AEX) in 2015.

Equitable Representation in the Councils of the United Nations: Theory and Application
We develop a theoretical framework for equity in council voting games (CVGs). In a CVG, a fully representative voting body delegates decision-making to a subset of the members, as describes, e.g., the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Three equity concepts are proposed, ex-ante (procedural) equity, ex-post (outcome) equity and regional equity. The last two concepts are consistent with a new square-root rule on the probability of council membership, but no CVG can meet all three concepts. We apply our framework to evaluate the equitability of the UNSC, and the claims of those who seek to reform it.

- Creator Backlash: This series ended because, as stated in the final issue, Capcom themselves didn't like it.
- Disowned Adaptation: See Creator Backlash above.
- Dueling Comics: An interesting example: Malibu also did a number of comics based off of Street Fighter's most infamous competitor, Mortal Kombat. That series ironically lasted far longer.
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: Capcom's dislike of this adaptation, and Udon's own comic, makes chances of reprints pretty low.
Also an interesting note: these comics were published in Brazil (in the mid-Nineties, during the height of fighting arcades), but after the series ended, the publisher decided to carry on with local artists while continuing the numbering, by adapting Super Street Fighter II instead. Issues 4 and 5 tried to pick up the slack, with stories alluding to the American comics' events (hinting that Ken could really be Not Quite Dead during a conversation between Chun-Li and Ryu) but already straying from the canon they established in Fei Long and Cammy's introductions, but from 6 onwards, new editor Alexandre Nagado decided to just throw everything Malibu had done to the license into the trashcan and start anew, with Ken alive and well, characterization closer to the games (except Sagat wasn't much of a Noble Demon, as later issues would show) and a Tournament Arc based on SSFII in the first three issues (i.e. 6, 7 and 8). This series then followed through with a few multi-issue stories, going through some hectic Schedule Slips until it stopped publishing in issue 20, with an Aborted Arc centered around Akuma that ended in a Cliffhanger.

Something extraordinary has happened over the past decade. Without any fanfare, scientists the world over have reached a consensus on one of the most profound questions ever to challenge the human mind: Are we alone? In all of this vast and ancient cosmos, is life confined to Earth?
No. Almost beyond doubt, life exists elsewhere. Probably, in microbial form at least, it is widespread. And more likely than not, we will find incontestable evidence of it quite soon—perhaps within the next ten to twenty years. These are the core elements of the remarkable new accord that is now routinely accepted by researchers across a spectrum of disciplines.
Behind this surge in scientific optimism about the prospects for alien life lies a rush of remarkable discoveries. A bewildering assortment of (mostly microscopic) life-forms has been found thriving in what were once thought to be uninhabitable regions of our planet. These hardy creatures have turned up in deep, hot underground rocks, around scalding volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean, in the desiccated, super-cold Dry Valleys of Antarctica, in places of high acid, alkaline, and salt content, and below many meters of polar ice. The range of locales where organisms could be expected to survive in the universe is thus vastly expanded. Some deep-dwelling, heat-loving microbes, genetic studies suggest, are among the oldest species known, hinting that not only can life thrive indefinitely in what appear to us totally alien environments, it may actually originate in such places. If so—if the cradles of biogenesis tend to be hot, dark, subsurface hells rather than our familiar sun-drenched surface edens—then the widespread appearance of life throughout the cosmos is made much more likely.
Scientific opinion has also shifted dramatically toward the view that life may be "easy"—able to assemble itself from simpler components at the slightest opportunity. How else to account for the signs in ancient rocks that bacteria proliferated on Earth as long ago as 3.8 billion years, during the intense bombardment phase following the birth of our solar system? Terrestrial life appeared almost before it had a reasonable chance of long-term

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Records released by Ohio State University say three football players suspended for the opening game against Akron violated NCAA rules by taking $200 at a Cleveland charity event earlier this year.
The records released Thursday night indicate the students gave varying accounts for why they received the money and who they received it from.
Two of the athletes said they believed the money was for working at the event while a third said he believed he was receiving money from a teammate.
The records, a copy of the violations that Ohio State forwarded to the NCAA, says the source of the money is unclear.
The players, running back Jordan Hall, defensive back Corey Brown and defensive back Travis Howard, were identified as having improperly received the money during a joint Ohio State-NCAA investigation on Aug. 31.
