At first glance, the 2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette will make your jaw drop. Chevrolet has upped the ante when it comes to its luxury class. With its distinct features, inspiration for this concept hails from design cues which appear to have been borrowed from the Cadillac brand.
Some may wonder why the new Corvette doesn't mirror the image of the 'vettes from the '60s and '70s such as the much loved Stingray. The design of the cars body, as is prevalent with modern vehicles, takes into consideration the demands of aerodynamics.
This design also reminds others of the '69 Corvette Manta Ray concept with its similar grill, and spacious lines. Extremely pronounced wheel arches and meticulous detail also reflect Corvettes of a gone era. The remaining bloodlines of the car can be traced back to the differences which are apparent or not in the cars interior.
Like the Cadillac CTS, the lines maintain a visual aesthetic which resemble an archer pulling back there bow. Yes, this car is like a crouching predator ready to tackle its prey.
One remarkable feature which is borrowed from the C6 is the incorporation of LED arrows in the turn signals which is an added safety feature. It's a reassuring to know that such consideration is common place in automotive engineering.

Reviews for Tomato Chili Dip
Reviewed Jun. 5, 2013
"First off, I would classify this more as a salsa than a dip. I wasn't sure my husband would like this because it is so different from the normal salsas that I make, but he really enjoyed it. The red wine vinegar gives it a nice taste. I will be making this again."

text: Has this been nerfed in sentry mode? When i throw this into sentry mode, especially in challenge 26, it only has enough rounds to kill 1 bot, sometimes not even that if its a quick perfect sim. Seems like it has less bullets and is less accurate then i remember when using it on the 64. I have watched youtube vids of people using it on the same challenge on the 64 and it seems to fire much more and kill more often. Has anyone else noticed this, or am i just pissed at perfect sims?

The Seahawks and Sounders: Seattle's Earth Shaking Football
When seismologists began observing that Seattle was due for an earthquake or two, there was no mention of American football. Yet the Richter scale registered just above 2.0 when 67,000 rabid fans reacted to Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn "The Beast" Lynch's rumble for 67 yards and a decisive touchdown against the New Orleans Saints on 8 January 2011. The tremors have hardly stopped. Being part of the Seahawks horde, known collectively as the "12th Man," is now considered the most sought after tourist attraction in the city.
Seattle has always basked in its reputation as a mellow bastion. The laissez-faire attitude can be seen on the roads, where Washington drivers assume a "no, please after you" attitude, on the sidewalks, where pedestrians routinely let others pass in front of them, and in the air, where a chorus of "excuse me's" reverberate should two people reach the same spot at the same time. But something changes when a mellow Northwesterner enters a sports stadium.
American football is a loud, boorish sport, perfectly scripted for fan participation. The opposing team approaches the line of scrimmage, gets set and… cue the mayhem. The noise has reached 137.6 decibels, louder than a Boeing 747 jet engine.
Football (or soccer) lasts from September to January. The maximum number of home games per season is ten, and tickets here rarely dip below US $150. Fortunately, travellers to Seattle can experience "Seamaniacs" first hand during the Seattle Sounders FC's Major Soccer League season. Even if the quality of play doesn't quite match the Barclay's Premier League, the match skills have improved noticeably in the past few years.
Joining the Emerald City Football Supporters involves much more than rooting for the Sounders, a perennial playoff team. Pioneer Square saloons fill with supporters in the early afternoon of a 7pm match, as bars including Fado and Elysian Fields fill to the rafters with green and blue bedecked fans. Led by Sound Wave, the team's marching band, the "March to the Match" begins in Occidental Park 60 minutes before kickoff.
The match itself carries enough flag waving, song singing and call-and-response chanting to make any European club proud. The supporter base would please any owner in the world. More than 60,000 people attended the Seattle-Portland derby in August – only Bayern Munich drew more fans that weekend. Summer friendlies against European sides, including Chelsea and Manchester United, routinely sell out the 67,000-seat stadium. Rarely are there less than 32,000 for any match, making the Sounders the most successful franchise launch in North American professional sports history.
Century Link Field, aka the "Clink," has endured five registered earthquakes, aka "Beastquakes" this season as the Seahawks posted the best record in the NFL. More impressive, NFL commentators say the Seahawks' home field advantage is worth three points a game, the 12th Man's influence unprecedented historically. Lately, the two blue, green and grey clubs have begun to meld. Never before heard in professional American football, Seahawks fans now serenade quarterback Russell Wilson and other star players with song during the game.
Travelling to Seattle? Then book a flight with Virgin Atlantic and Delta to one of over 80 US cities.
Have you been to a Seattle Seahawks or Sounders game? What did you make of it? Let us know in the comments below.

Why: Chef/Owner Willem Paul Klitsie of Fratelli in Portland's Pearl District has brought his magic to downtown Vancouver with the opening of Willem's on Main.
The present menu at Willem's features upscale American fare with Italian and French influence. This, according to Klitsie, is subject to seasonal change. Using locally sourced ingredients from artisans and wineries across Washington as much as possible is a priority for Klitsie. Millennium Farms in Ridgefield is among his purveyors.
Atmosphere: Warm colors and romantic lighting create a foundation for the decor. Reclaimed theater seating from the Kiggins Theatre (just a few doors north of the restaurant), paired with equally nostalgic tables topped with tree trunk cross sections, provide interesting arrangements in the front of the restaurant. Seating capacity is kept to a cozy 30 on the main floor. A loft in the back of the restaurant offers a long table for a larger party and feels quite exclusive. One of my favorite features is found above the entry where the balcony displays a septet of lamps, artfully picturesque in front of the streetside window's transom. Absolutely charming truly sums up the atmosphere of Willem's on Main.
What I tried: I sampled the bruschetta with mascarpone, roasted beef, truffle cheese and truffle oil and the shrimp and garlic served with a few thin slices of fresh French bread. I also sampled the grilled Romaine topped with toasted almonds, grated cheese and a light balsamic and oil dressing, the Fennel coleslaw with marinated skirt steak, and the grilled pork loin served with a medley of cannellini beans, apple, Nuesky bacon, and halved Brussels sprouts in pan jus. In addition to these, I tried the side of Soft Polenta with Salsa Verde, and for dessert, the Toasted Angel Food Cake with Pear Rum Confit.
Every selection that I tried was delicious in its own right. The grilled pork loin entrée stands out for its complexity and comfort food quality. The pork was juicy and savory, and the accompanying bean mixture was sweet and smoky with a hint of bitter from the innermost layer of the Brussels sprouts. It was a treat for the senses and gone too fast.
The shrimp and garlic (from the happy hour menu) was mouth-watering and could only be improved by the inclusion of one more shrimp. As it is, it contains three — challenging one's sense of equality when it comes to sharing with a dining companion.
The bruschetta combines rich flavors in a satisfyingly tasteful creation, as does the soft polenta with salsa verde. When I ordered the polenta side, given its name, I was thinking "Southwest." The salsa was green, but it was not of Southwest character. It was instead a parsley, caper, and oil mixture that lent a refreshing quality to the rich, smooth polenta.
I enjoyed the fennel coleslaw that was made using the bulb of the plant. The slaw had a light refreshing flavor and paired well with the marinated skirt steak, which possessed a velvety texture. This dish is served with a glass of cream soda — perfect!
The minimalism of the grilled romaine (from the happy hour menu) made it a nice interim dish amid the more multifaceted selections.
Toasted angel food cake … imagine that! A must try. Toasting the cake changes the texture from super spongy to springy and imparts a crystallized value to the flavor. The pear rum confit was a delectable complement for the cake, making the dessert a wonderful finish to the meal.
Menu highlights beyond what I tried: The Beer-Braised Roasted Short Ribs and Fettucini sounded delicious, as did the Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Nuesky Bacon in Buttermilk Sauce.
Other observations: Service is spot-on upscale without pretension, food is excellent and pocket-friendly, atmosphere is absolutely charming.
I believe most, if not all, who visit Willem's on Main will be delighted Klitsie has brought his experience and expertise to this side of the Columbia River.
The scale of the restaurant and the scope of the menu are well-matched, bringing something to Clark County's dining scene that has been lacking since the closing of Oliver's in Camas.
Cost: Most lunch items are $7, other than the Willem's Burger made with mortadella, smoked tomato, and sautéed potatoes, which is $11. Dinner items range from $4 for sides, such as Sautéed Spinach with Garlic and the Sautéed Potatoes with Onions, up to $19 for Potato Gnocchi with Duck Confit and Grape Sauce.
Hours: Lunch is served 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Dinner is served 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday, Monday and Thursday and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Happy Hour is 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Telephone: 360-258-0989.
Where: 907 Main St., Vancouver.
Health score: Willem's on Main has received a pre-opening inspection and is scheduled for a routine inspection in the near future. Zero is a perfect score, and Clark County Public Health closes restaurants with a score of 100 or higher. For information, call 360-397-8428.

Skip to comments.My screed against 'script kiddies' and what passes for 'IT pros' these days.
Posted on 07/29/2012 3:10:27 PM PDT by Looking4Truth
I'm not as pissed as I sound. Enjoy.
BTW, I have never bought anything advertised on a web site or a TV, on a banner, etc. etc.. Wonder how many people are the same. Seems like a huge waste of money.
But companies pay for the number of eyeballs that see their adverts thinking that many will buy their product.
Apparently, the less desirable elements of humanity have made the Internet what it is today... eg. Porn.
The geniuses didn't even rip out the comment lines that stated who wrote the programs and when and for whom.
That's funny. We won a huge lawsuit against a (french) competitor. Their programs had our comments, and their electrical and mechanical drawings had our company name on them.
* This part is actually true.
This thread is getting weird. I actually did walk uphill both ways in the snow. I lived on a lake as a kid and the bus came only to the end of the lake at the dam. The road leading to the dam went up and down hills along the shoreline, hence I really did have to do that. Small world.
I 100% agree about technology just getting so overwhelming and diverse and people being able to keep up with it. Running into "technical" people who couldn't think or reason is happening to me more and more.
One of my mass deployments for a gov't agency sometime back had a fairly simple script to follow. Do a few and there wasn't much to think about after.
The standard barring network or other anamolies was 14 units per day. That is old backup/breakdown of old with backup made and restored to new and all hardware fully assembled and some admin.
I usually made goal and one other guy was usually there or close. One other fellow seemed permanently baffled. If he had 4 done correctly in a day, it was something.
Half of the ones he did would require the old one to be pulled from the truck and backed up again. I don't know why. Their backup routine consisted of two icons. One for the old and one for the new.
If there was any kind of problem, the policy was to have an agency IT person to manually move or handle the problem. They were quite strict on that.
Very well said!
Young kids seem to have a knack for it though. Get em a computer early and let them go and include protections because the Internet can be a cold nasty place.
Date: Winter '63.
Computer: IBM 1620.
Peripherals: 28K extended core, 1407 card reader/punch, 402 accounting machine.
Translator: Forgo (simplified 2-pass Fortran, all cards)
Program: "Hello world!"
Don't pay that well, though. Low end jobs tend to treat their employees like dumb slaves.
You'd make several times more as a bit twiddler.
I guess that this goes without saying...
You F**king rock!
I remember learning the 'WHOAMI' command in Unix and LMAO.
All cards. Yes.
That's what I had to learn on. One syntax error and you had to resubmit the damn cards all over again to the ops people. We 'as students' when I first was learning this stuff were under deadlines, so having to resubmit your deck was almost fatal as far as passing the course (USAF '85). It sucked.
Lunar Lander was a great game. Simple and fun. Omega Race for the VIC 20 was another good one.
As you go on to explain, Digital Research (another small company like Microsoft) put off IBM, so they went down the street, figuratively, to Gates. Now I had to look this up, but it appears that Bill saw the opportunity and grabbed at it with both hands. He went out and quickly bought a little system called QDOS from another software house called Seattle Computer Products and used this as a basis for MS-DOS, whose Rev 1.0 he was able to deliver pretty quickly.
And not if it's running Linux, in which case quite a bit was was influenced by Andrew Tannenbaum.
Torvalds gives explicit credit to Tannenbaum's Minix project. However, ultimate credit is due to Kernighan and Ritchie of Bell Labs, with their Unix.
One of the chief architects of Windows NT, Dave Cutter, was was hired away from DEC, who was behind the VAX11/780 and VMS.
One of my former colleagues was fond of pointing out what happens when you step the letters of the acronym VMS one letter forward in the alphabet.
You sound like my cousin. I remember those big old things. My beef is not with useless ads on internet; but on tv too. Every two seconds you are interrupted by those pos.
I started on a Honeywell 200 in the 6
I had both and played the daylights out of Omega Race.
You had binary code?
We lived on a planet with a hazy sky, with no sunrise or sunset, no day or night, and we had to hum continuously to prevent any break between sound and no sound.
Try programming in THAT environment.
I kept wanting to turn on AdBlock during the Olympics Opening Ceremony the other night (never watch tv otherwise). Finally decided the off button would work just as well. Note to OP: You need Firefox Noscript addon also to lasso and choke those malevolent scripts.
I couldn't think of a response to this. It's too hardcore.
Also, my remarks about msft...it's funny, I wonder what I'd be doing if it weren't for Bill Gates. I'd probably have gone into the family business...
I retired from the Ground Observer Corps in 1957.
wow. you have a golden anniversary coming up!
that's beautiful.
It was addictive, especially with game paddles. I think the VIC 20 version was even better than the arcade version.
Now I'm thinking of those early computer magazines that would publish screen shots so readers could prove they had gotten a high score on a game. Just think of that — you would take a picture, take it somewhere to have it developed, pick it up a few days later, snail mail it in, then maybe you'd see it a few weeks later published in a pulp paper magazine. Talk about old school.
Several hours later (depending on your class schedule, often the next day), you'd get the deck back with a printout of your results wrapped around it with a rubberband. The printout would usually be a dump of your program's core when it aborted, and sometimes would be a vague but error-riddled version of the output you intended from the program itself.
The core dump was ordinarily much larger, so the moment the routing monkey brought your results to the window, you could get that sinking feeling right away.
The routing room was in one building and the computer was in another. They had a small computer (a 1401) in the routing room which did nothing but read the submitted card decks onto tape, which would be carried over to the computer building a few times througout the day and night. Then during the next trip, the results tape would be carried back to the routing room and the outputs of the various programs run out to a high-speed printer (a 1403) on the spot. Late-night submissions were handled therefore under sort of a FedEx business model, except that the trip was only across Springfield Avenue, and not to Memphis.
Over in the computer building was another computer with its routing room nearby. This computer was a first-generation solid state machine designed and built at the University--kind of a 1962 supercomputer. In its routing room were three lightbulbs set near the ceiling in a row. They were red, yellow, and green. They were labeled "DOWN," "?," and "UP."
There is a program on Unix called "make." (Windoze systems have versions of it now too.)
Make is designed to automate the invocation of the translator system (e.g., C compiler and linker) of a project consisting of numerous source code modules. Once you write a control script for it for a specific project, make keeps track of what files need to be retranslated in order to do a build of the project, and then invokes the translators accordingly.
It is common to invoke make with a command line parameter consisting of the name of one of the files you want to specifically retranslate. If you specify a file that is not listed in the control script, make will terminate with an error message to you.
In older versions of make (but sadly not newer ones), it was fun to type the following command:
make love
and the program would respond with
Don't know how to make love. Stop.
When I see threads like this, I'm tempted to join in - I've got the bonafides - started in '77 coding a COBOL Accounts Receivable system for Management Science America. Went on to work with some of the folks at IBM's Thomas Watson Research Center, as a tech rep pushing a new-fangled relational database management system and 4GL called Nomad. It was based on the relational model developed by Date and Codd. I was once told that Chris Date actually looked at some of the work I had done when he was visiting the Watson Center and nodded. Helped some friendly folks at the Dept. of the Navy learn another rdbms named Focus. Visited Bell Labs in Princeton in the early 80's where they showed me how they could access and process and print information with an RF network! Magic! Installed an IBM PC LAN in a Fortune 500 company - one of the first ones IBM sold commercially. Met Ozzie when he was at Iris. Met Kapor. Saw Lotus Notes pre-release 1.0 and installed Notes 1.1 at the company I worked for. I've specialized in the Collaborative Software stack ever since and these days work in product development IT for a really really big enterprise software company that eats other companies for breakfast. I'm one of the geeks' geeks. I frackin' love it. Tried management for a few years in the middle of my career, but I'm an engineer - need to keep my hands in it. Half the guys I work with have PhD's and the other half, like me, are ADhDs who just love to tweak things and break things and fix them up, ultimately resulting in production systems that give almost 5 x 9's reliability.
When script kiddies come on my lawn, I use facial recognition, tag them, then post fotos of them to their own FB pages. Damn kids. Heh.
NORAD, Cheyenne Mountain Complex, Colorado, circa 1976.
AS a young Airman Basic, I learned to run this all by myself. The tape drives used one inch reel tapes, none of that new-fangled 1/2 inch 9 track! Note the card punch on the lower left.
We called that computer room "Offline", because we loaded jobs via punch card to tape, and the tapes were carried by tape librarians or "tape apes" to the "Online" system.
Online looked like this:
This was used for both Space Track and Missile Warning missions.
All of these were replaced by Honeywell 6080's in 1979 (but the chick did not come with it).
Sigh... The good ole days!
We had to walk three miles in the snow to get our ones, then it was a bitch to get them home because they kept falling through the holes in our pockets.
Run Ghostery and NoScript on Firefox, and you'll have a start on getting control again.
Did you have to walk uphill in the snow both ways to get them 1s? Back when I was learning FORTRAN we were glad to have 0s, 1s were gravy ;)
I remember when 8" floppy drives were the shiznipples and 1200 baud was a screaming connection.
Punch cards you lucky! We had paper tape.
"I assure you that no business geets done through facebook, nor through Linkedin."
Ain't that the truth. I keep having all these folks tell me how I need to join Linkedin and that will get me more business. I always ask them if it helped them get any new business. They always say "Well no, but you should join anyway!" So, there you have it. I joined and I got no new business. But hey, it was free!
At least on facebook I get the satisfaction of bugging everyone with the best of the factual conservative (and outrageous liberal) stories I find at Free Republic! Not to mention I do get several positive comments about my posts there. Oh, and do I read anything anyone else posts on facebook? Are you kidding me? The level of discourse there is "My dog pooped on the front lawn this morning! Yea!" (I'm not making that up, either. True story. And sadly enough, you realize, this was a relative that posted that.)
"A few times over the years I had seriously entertained other careers such as working in a dog kennel or oil change monkey."
I still entertain ideas of becoming a car mechanic.
Would you happen to have a 30cm piece of wire?
The hand is referring to VMS, the system DEC developed to run the VAX series. Gates hired Dave Cutler, who led the development of VMS, to lead the development of Windows NT, from which all modern versions of Windows descend. Windows has an inner core, hidden behind the Win32 API, that bears a resemblance to VMS.
Gates beat out Digital Research much earlier. DR, which had developed the CP/M OS for 8080-based systems, was IBM's first choice to develop the first PC's OS. But they were slow in responding, so IBM went with Microsoft instead. MS didn't actually have what they sold to IBM, but they went across town and bought a nice CP/M work-alike, 86-DOS, aka QDOS, for $50K from Seattle Computer Products and turned it into PC/DOS, the original IBM PC operating system. Naturally, MS forgot to tell SCP the real reason they wanted the system.

The NoScript plugin for Firefox is excellent at keeping heavy Javascript scripts from slowing down pages. If you want to restore functionality to a page you can select what you want with an easy-to-use button menu.
Twenty years?
Jus kiddin (sorta) I started programming in '72.
But I agree. Javascript is the most damnable heresy that ever came to computing. And all the things they promised it would not do, like infect or corrupt your computer, it manages to do perfectly well, every day!
"I had a word processor that ran on a PRE - PC S100 based computer - in a DOS like environment it was astounding in what it could do ... Todays BLOATED WORD still cannot do what this little Word Processor could do ... "
Was it Emacs, Vi or Vim?
Emacs was released in 1976.
Vi was released in 1976.
Vim was released in 1991, based off of Vi.
Most Vi users now use Vim, and beginners often use an easy-to-get-started version called Cream for Vim:
Emacs and Vim are the two most powerful editors on the planet. No modern editor can come close to what they can do. They can run either in a modern GUI or in a terminal, just like the old DOS days.
I use Emacs and LOVE it. It takes getting used to and the default keystrokes are a little weird, but the power of Emacs is that *everything* can be customized. All settings are held in a file named ".emacs". You can tweak everything — colors, sidebars, add abilities, shortcuts, have it auto-load often used files at the touch of a key... anything.
I've been using Emacs for several months and I've got it so customized it fits like a glove. It's amazing.
Here's a few sites to get you started:
If you're into personal organization, look into the well-loved Org-Mode module. I don't use it — I have my own system set up —but many Emacsers rave over it.
PS. If you find you like a text editor over Word but find you have to go back to Word when you want a document formatted with bold headers, etc., you don't have to. Look into using LaTeX. LaTeX is FAR more capable than Word and produces letters and documents that look more professional. Many books have been published using LaTeX.
You can use LaTeX right in Emacs or Vim, both have LaTeX plugins available.
If you try either Emacs or Vim you'll never go back to Word. Enjoy!
Okay, I started with paper tape. So there.
But I learned to use whatever technology was "right" for the job. These days it's C# on Windows, PHP on Linux for websites, Objective C for OSX and iOS software, whatever, etc. and etc.
Or anything else the client (or the Boss) insists on...
C would be my language of choice, but companies willing to pay for the extra hours it takes are few and far between. Flexibility gets you clients who come back. VB is okay for some; I never liked it much, but would take on a VB extension or maintenance project in a heartbeat, to put beans on the table. The idea is to get it done.
A shovel is better for detail work, but a Bobcat gets it done faster if the job's big (and they all are, these days), and if it's really big, you use a D9 Caterpillar. Development of software is a lot like developing construction projects.
Look. We could all flop them out on the table and use a yardstick -- or we could just get the job done with what works. We make more money with the latter strategy. I use Emacs for Ruby and Python and PHP and Bash scripts, Vim for quick and dirty edits, VS for C#/VB/ASP.net, and even Text Wrangler for a lot of stuff, but come on, none of that makes me a bigger or smaller or better or worse person. I use a Macbook Pro (yeah, with Parallels) these days, but I won't knock your Windows or Linux box. We're all just making the client happy or stroking the boss for a good review.
But hey -- "script kiddies"? Gimme a break. Do you (OP) really know what that is?
Oh yeah, I played the snot out of Omega Race too. Went so far as to wire up a 555 circuit with potentiometer inline with the controller for automatic missile firing.
Still only got 4 shots on the screen at any time, but there were ALWAYS 4 shots on the screen with that circuit! The pot allowed me to vary the rate at which the auto fire occurred for either tight grouping or a more spaced out pattern of the missiles.
I disagree. I was involved personally in business transactions and hiring decisions where linkedin played a part.
No - it was not Emacs. But it would not surprise me that it was based on Emacs. It was a proprietary word processor that ran on a Jacquard 500 (a very different device for that era - of late 1970's) The Jacquard could run in straight Word Processor mode - or is a computer mode where you could run programs in Basic - very sophisticated ones. It had a type of programming environment - Very Advanced for the time ... but it died out in the early 1980's...
I disagree. I was involved personally in business transactions and hiring decisions where linkedin played a part
I would be interested in the industries. I am on lists for all sorts of insustries and they are all dead. Anyone else have luck using Linkedin in business?
Y'know, if you use Firefox, (might want to avoid the current version, though...), you can get plugins to screen out a lot of that stuff.
Love VMS! In fact, when I was at BBN in the early 1990's, I wrote a full screen editor for DCL using DCL. Very cool language.
I started before high school with DEC's RSTS-11 BASIC-PLUS, before picking up Data General COBOL for a summer job in high school. In college, learned FORTRAN and 8080 Assembler.
After college it was VAX VMS COBOL, then APL, and C. By the time OO coding came around, I was doing enterprise app implementations (e.g. Oracle Applications), but 95% of the work was PL/SQL and ODBC for querying databases.
Haven't done much coding, save the occasional VB Script or Excel macro, in the last 10 years or so. It used to be fun; now PM and org change are more interesting...
specifically for datawarehousing and business intelligence.
I only touched VMS, JCL, Cobol etc. when I was filling in time doing some simple mainframe work. It's a whole different world from my BI/DWH world — and now I'm figuring out SAP B/W — THAT is another world with it's own terminology!
I should have been more specific; while I did a little JCL and COBOL for an IBM 360 back in the 70's, the VMS to which I was referring was VAX-11 VMS which later morphed into Open VMS...

Like you said every situation is different. Similar situation, we filed because of Business Debt which led to CC debt. We filed in 1/2012 and reaffirmed our mortgage. We are not underwater and have not missed a payment. It has helped our scores and we never considered walking away from our home and that is why we kept the mortgage. Our mortgage reports every month with the past history stating that we reaffirmed our debt.

Ahh there's no reason why you can't still. It's early days, I'm guessing your exams are next month and June? Plus you've been really putting work in, just keeping re visiting stuff and doing past papers. Plus I'm sure you can download the past papers online, I'm sure I did that for biology. And I found them CGP revision guides good, I know a lot of people hate them can sometimes they can be quite cheesey lol, but I thought they get your mind active especially in subjects like biology. Or I ended up getting a tutor locally who was good help if you think it might help.
Well I emailed the Uni and they said I needed a B in maths GCSE and they get a lot of applicants so I wouldn't stand in good stead if I didn't have a B lol. Screw them I went to a different Uni anyway haha. Plus don't worry too much about focusing on a specific Uni, keep looking around you might find one with a better course that you hadn't considered. I remember getting really focused on the original Uni I wanted to go to and it just stressed me out. Ha you can tell I'd do about a million different things differently if I did my A levels again huh? lol
CGP books don't help me, i had to rely on myself for these things, their method of working things doesn't work out for me...I'll keep the work up!
Ah i see, the course was probably competitive huh? i didn't think a B was that far a jump from C but then again, i have no experience lol.
But at least you're happy now, thats what counts i guess Probably so, i take it you didn't resit the whole 2 years? (gee, i'd hate to do that ._.)
No just one and it was enough I just sat all the exams in one year. I go to Hull now and do Psychology, so I guess you never know where your gunna turn out!
And it's ok you remind me of me when I did A levels
Also, found this in another thread, I've downloaded it and it's quite good, think it will help

My exams are not far off from today, i've revised but nothing is sinking in so i'm stressing out even more. I know i'm not the only one out there whos like this, but can anyone offer me tips? I'm just really angry at myself because i know i can get better grades but i keep getting bad ones.
When i revise - i get d's and e's in my past papers, recently in my actual exam i got U's and i revised since forever for them. (Ironically, the one i did no revision for and least understood, i got a decent pass in.) Because of this, i've lost alot of hope in myself and i don't see the point no more, i don't want to think this way but i can't help it.
If you know the content, its most probably due to your exam technique. You've got loads of time to sort it out! so don't freak out haha
I'm in seconday skl and I have big tests for math but I'm the one who always get a baddish grade I really what my mum to be pround of me so I can never tell her my bad grades but I really want a 5a/6c (I'm in my first year) did anyone have any help

Scientific evidence
What do the following things have in common:
- Cold fusion
- Health effects from non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation
Answer: they have all been studied for close to twenty years (or in the case of ESP, even longer). Every now and then somebody comes up a with a result that seems to indicate that the effect is real. But then nobody else is able to replicate that result. In other words, you get this ongoing, low-level intermittent background of spurious positives. Which is exactly what you would expect if the effects do not exist, but a whole lot of people are continuing to dig in the belief that they do.

That BBC programI couldn't actually watch the whole program all the way through. It was obvious that the reporter had made his mind up at the outset and everything flowed from that.
Hopefully producers will think twice about taking him on again, or at the very least scrutinise his work and get greater substantiation.
But then shouldn't ehy have been doing this from the outset?

Dynamics in transitory and permanent variation of wages in Germany
We employ covariance structure models to decompose the cross-sectional variance of male wages in Germany into its permanent and transitory parts. We find that the steep growth of cross-sectional inequality during the early 2000s is predominantly driven by transitory factors.

If you think the sixth boro has a wide variety of tugboats, you'll agree it's also surrounded by a variety of land–boro–scapes.
from obscure to iconic.
Here's the Brooklyn passenger terminal and

east end of Wall Street,
entrance to the Kills showing the Bayonne Bridge and obvious modifications to the bases,
and finally the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.
All photos this week by Will Van Dorp.
Here was 29. (The apostrophe is making me lose count.)
Below . . . just in this morning from Ashley Hutto . . call this "can't sleep 'til I get to Brooklyn."
From Jason Padgett high above Broad Street about a week and a half ago, part of a submarine on a barge entering the East River, and
from Jonathan Steinman, the same unit a little farther up the East River. A little over two years ago, Birk Thomas took these of a similar cargo.
And from a secret salt . . . some months back, it MAY be the same tug as seen in dry dock but what would be a submarine perspective.
From along the Maas and taken by Fred Trooster last week, it's the restored tug Elbe.
From another secret salt . . . these are sixth boro waters to be kept in mind whenever you're tempted to swim here.
The world is full of secret salts, another of whom sent this photo of Louisiana vessel with an intriguing name.
And finally, a photo I took . . . of a scrapyard with an alarming name, until you accept that it might be another language.
Thanks much to Ashley, Jason, Jonathan, Fred, and all the secret salts who send me photos. And finally . . . a photo I took myself, and I'll leave you to guess where, a photo that goes along with an article Elizabeth sent me recently about an invasive species in Colombia.
Here was 8. And here was yesterday. The photo from yesterday–below–shows the near VZ Bridge footprint, and the far footprint can be seen
here in a photo from a few weeks ago. This morning, as I'm waking up, looks clear like the next few photos.
It's C. Angelo towing Sea Shuttle. Part of the joy of photographing the same geography repeatedly is seeing the difference made by factors like weather and
time of day.
Here's a dramatic weather photo taken somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico by Capt. Aeolus. It reminds me of dramatic weather here . . scroll through . . from a "road fotos" post I did about three years ago.
And speaking of the road . . . I have some major gallivants coming up very soon.
Thanks to Aeolus for the photo above; all others by Will Van Dorp.
All these photos come from bowsprite, who is known to scale the cliffs and trees of lower Manhattan to photograph and sketch the ships go by. From auspicious time to time, she shares her photos with me, as she did recently.
Northbound . . . Stad Amsterdam in formation with a sludge tanker.
This past Sunday she caught Topaz. Some years back, I caught Skat, a yacht built by the same yard.
Here and here were photos of Stad Amsterdam I've taken in recent years.
The Intermarine vessel (Industrial Echo taken on April 6) is evidence of expansion of wind power generation upriver. Thanks to David Silver for identifying the ship.
In the foreground Gateway tug Bridgeport (Thanks for the help!) and in the distance the all-knowing, never shrinking from difficult work Michele Jeanne.
As we move through these photos, bowsprite must have descended the trees or cliffs, because here she's incorporated early spring arboreal detail into her compositions . . . Gran Couva (with "lower" Jersey City) and
Afrodite and Stad Amsterdam and
Voge Freeway.
For the current tip of bowsprite's opus, click here. For the most recent tugster post showing her work, click here. Her photos clearly show the variety of large vessel traffic northbound between Manhattan and Jersey City/Hoboken.
I am grateful to bowsprite for her permission to use these photos. To see and buy her work online, click here.
I'm very impressed . . . all the images I put up yesterday got identified and within a few hours either in comments section or on Facebook.
The top foto yesterday came from Thomas Scian of the USS Slater project in Albany. Click here to read the latest Slater Signals publication with info about the upcoming dry-docking. Thomas has promised to keep us informed about the tow down the Hudson around mid-February–in two weeks or so already– so that this transit can be well-photographed. I took the foto below back in September 2013. Here's the navsource.org info on Slater.
The engine room pics came from Kelsey Patrick Connors. The first engine room is from Navigator, with twin EMDs 12-645-e4, 2150hp each. Here's a foot of Navigator Norfolk-bound out the Narrows.
Some of you commented on how clean the Detroit Diesel was. It's one of two 16-cylinder 149s at 900 hp that power Outrageous. I took these fotos of Outrageous in May 2009.
Thanks much to Kelsey and Thomas for use of the pics. Thanks all of you for your answers. I have no news on Sea Lion.
Here's my response to bowsprite's post on Albany-bound ships . . . she drew a TEN tanker called Afrodite, but when I came looking–more on that later–I saw only Apollon, not necessarily Albany bound.
I saw MOL Encore, again bound for Asia.
I found Maersk Memphis . . . until very recently Maersk Kwangyang.
I noticed C. Angelo passing Explorer of the Seas.
I noticed workers walking the cables of the
VZ Bridge . . . .
Then I had obligations and headed over to Staten Island and caught Dalian Express passing Maemi II.
I was there when Hanjin Nagoya headed underneath the Bayonne Bridge, as did a pack
of Moran boats . . . .
And only later did I find Mischief–S/V Mischief, or I think that's her, sailed by Harry and John. But that's when I found . . . if not more mischief then misfortune.
the Bayonne Bridge walkway/bikeway . . . is now closed!! I wish they'd put up a re-opening date . . . 8/5/15? 8/5/16? Until then, there'll be no more fotos like the last seven here.
All fotos today by Will Van Dorp.

This is the 98th installment of this title. If you've any ideas about what I might do with the 100th, let me know. Of course, I could just let it pass by . . . randomly.
All these boats have some things in common, like . .. they passed through the sixth boro although in all types of weather/light in the past week or so. I'l let you know what I'm thinking at the end of the post.

All fotos by Will Van Dorp, who'd love to hear ideas about the "Random Tugs 100" post.
Unrelated: I read this line yesterday about a withdrawn lawsuit between the NY Port Authority and a Canadian steel company: "The deal means the lawsuit will be dropped and the steel for the [World Trade Center] tower antenna can set sail before Canadian shipping channels freeze over in winter." Here's the rest of the article. But it made me wonder . . . by what vessel . . . barge or ship . . . will this steel arrive in the Upper Bay. Anyone know? Here's info on the fabricator of the antenna.
And a Q . . . has anyone seen evidence of construction of the crane(s) to be involved in the Bayonne Bridge raising? I've heard rumors, but not read or heard anything authoritative.

Years Active: 1946 - 1961
Genres: Barbershop Music, Traditional Pop
The Chordettes were a female popular singing quartet, usually singing a cappella, and specializing in traditional popular music. The Chordettes were one of the longest lived vocal groups with beginnings in the mainstream pop and vocal harmonies of the 1940s and early 1950s. Although the arrangements owed more to The Andrews Sisters than doo-wop, they did, unlike many of their peers, prove fairly adaptable to the rock and roll era. First establishing themselves with the huge hit record, "Mr. Sandman" in 1954, they continued to chart in the last half of the 1950s and the early 1960s, often with cover versions of rock and R&B songs. Their #2 1958 success "Lollipop" was the biggest of these. Alt... Continue Bio >>

Saturday's SHSAT postponed until Nov. 17
Saturday's specialized high school admissions test, scheduled to be taken by all 9th graders and 8th graders needing special accommodations, has been postponed until Nov. 17, the Education Department announced this afternoon.
One of the sites, Brooklyn Technical High School, is still housing evacuees, and another, Stuyvesant, is virtually impossible to reach by subway.
The DOE announced other changes for anxious 8th and 9th graders applying to specialized and other high school:
- All weekend auditions, interviews and exams have been cancelled and will be rescheduled
- Auditions at LaGuardia High School scheduled for Nov. 3-4, will be held the following weekend, Nov. 10-11
- Auditions at Frank Sinatra scheduled for Nov. 3-4, will be held the following weekend, Nov. 10-11
- The SHSAT scheduled for Oct. 28 will now be held on Nov. 18
Check the DOE's website for more information. So far the DOE has not changed the Dec. 3 due date for high school applications.
(And, if you, and your children have extra time on your hands, check out some of the volunteer opportunities at one of the 60 schools housing evacuees. Evacuees are still very much in residence. Here's a link: https://www.facebook.com/OccupySandyReliefNyc)
Sunday specialized exam CANCELLED
Late Friday afternoon, Chancellor Dennis Walcott cancelled the specialized high school admissions test for Sunday, Oct. 28, citing weather concerns with Hurricane Sandy and "uncertainty over travel conditions." Eighth-graders scheduled to take the test on Sunday now have an extra few weeks to wait before taking the exam, which determines entrance into one of eight highly competitive high schools.The new date for them is Nov. 18.
Saturday test-takers are not affected.
Here's the notice we got at 4:20 p.m.
The test will be rescheduled for November 18
Due to the anticipated inclement weather brought on by Hurricane Sandy, we are cancelling the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT) scheduled to take place on Sunday, October 28. The test is rescheduled for Sunday, November 18. The exam scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, October 27, will take place as planned.
Gifted or not? G&T info sessions begin
UPDATE: G&T info sessions set for Bronx and Queens on Oct. 29 and 30 have been cancelled. The next one on the calendar is from 9-11 a.m. in the Bronx on Wednesday, Oct. 31 at 1230 Zerega Avenue. See the DOE's website for updates.
Information sessions explaining New York City's elementary gifted and talented program begin tonight in Brooklyn. Parents will learn about the admissions process, the assessments used and what to do to prepare their child for testing which takes place in January and February..
The meetings, led by Education Department officials, will cover the nitty gritty of local admissions, but they won't touch on bigger issues, such as: What makes a child gifted? Can it be determined at age 4?
In New York City, young children are considered eligible for G&T programs, based on the results of two assessments, one verbal, testing a child's ability to follow directions by listening to instructions, the other nonverbal, in which a child must recognize shapes and patterns and how they fit together.
Elsewhere in the U.S. there is little consensus about what determines a child's giftedness, whether G&T programs are advisable and at what age they should start. There is no national definition for gifted and talented programs and criteria for entrance into such programs varies widely.
Gail Robinson, an Insideschools.org contributor, explores the larger topic of gifted education and what's happening on the national scene in three posts written for GreatSchools. Is your child gifted? Gifted or Just Privileged? And, Your child is gifted...now what?
Parents who are considering G&T programs for their child might want to give the posts a read.
Many failing schools were on top last year
Nearly a quarter of the elementary and middle schools marked failing on the 2011-12 Progress Reports were top schools last year.
The Education Department released those Progress Reports today and, in a statement, touted stable grades: "86 percent of schools did not change more than one grade from 2011" the DOE said.
But our analysis of the 102 schools that earned D's or F's on their Progress Report this year shows that severe instability persists. Of those failing schools, 24 earned A's and B's on their 2010-11 Progress Reports. PS 241 in Harlem, for example, went from a C in 2009-10, to a B in 2010-11 to an F this year.
Even though a school's progress report scores may wildly fluctuate, the stakes are high -- low grades on Progress Reports can lead the DOE to close a school. Schools that earn D or F on their progress report or schools that earn no better than a C for three years in a row are flagged for possible closure.
Center for New York City Affairs Education Project Director Kim Nauer says elementary and middle schools' Progress Report grades are more likely to fluctuate than high schools' grades (to be released later this month) because the lower schools are graded on fewer factors. "When you have more indicators it gives you a better picture of the school," says Nauer, who co-authored a report on the DOE's data and accountability methods with Insideschools' Clara Hemphill.
Middle school fairs begin; guides & grades out
The new 2012-2013 middle school directories are online just in time for the district fairs which begin this week for 5th graders and their families. District fairs run from 5:30-7:30 p.m. beginning on Wednesday. All schools are supposed to send representatives.
There will be copies of the guides at the fair, but it's a good idea to go through them before you arrive and make a list of the schools that your child is eligible for and any questions you may have. The fairs can be crowded and a little overwhelming, so arrive prepared. Our video on how to apply to a middle school is here.
The latest middle school Progress Reports are also available online now. These are report cards, complete with grades, that the Education Department gives to each school every year. They are supposed to give a sense of how the school is doing. They are useful to look at, but take the "grades" with a grain of salt. They are mostly based on how much progress kids have made on state exams. So for example, three popular, progressive Manhattan middle schools, Institute for Collaborative Education, School of the Future and IS 289, all received Cs this year, even though on average about 80% of their kids are reading and doing math at grade level. Meanwhile, the Middle School of Marketing and Legal Studies in East Flatbush, Brooklyn got an A, even though less than 40% of the students at the school are reading at grade level.
Poll: Are gifted programs neglected?
Gifted and Talented programs only serve about one percent of children nationwide, says the Fordham Institute's Chester E. Finn, who authored a new study of G & T programs in the U.S., and says too many deserving kids don't have access to them. In a must-read New York Times op-ed piece, Finn argues that the nation's high-performing students are being neglected: "Mostly, the system ignores them, with policies and budget priorities that concentrate on raising the floor under low-achieving students. A good and necessary thing to do, yes, but we've failed to raise the ceiling for those already well above the floor."
I'm guessing that hundreds of New York City parents whose kindergartners scored in the 99th percentile on G&T exams last spring but failed to score a seat in one of the five citywide G&T program might agree with Finn. What do you think? Do G&T programs deserve more attention (and more of our limited school funds)? Take our poll!
(By the way, this month 4th and 5th graders who applied for G&T seats over the summer will find out whether they scored one of the very few seats available to them. And, a few more offers may be made for K-3 G&T seats, according to a letter sent to principals asking them to report any "attrition-based" openings by Sept. 19.)
College Counselor: ACT vs SAT?
Q. I am the mom of an 11th grader. I grew up and went to school outside of the United States, so it is very challenging for me to understand the whole U.S. higher education system. Would you please explain to me what the SAT and ACT are? What is the difference between those two? Which one does my daughter need to take in order to apply to a 4-year college?
A: Most colleges and universities in the United States require either the SAT or ACT (with writing) for admission as a first-year student. These are nationally administered examinations, each one about three hours long, which provide a general assessment of a student's skills in mathematics, reading and vocabulary, and writing. The tests are structured differently and scored differently.
The SAT comes from the Educational Testing Service, headquartered in New Jersey, while the ACT comes from a company in Iowa. Originally, most students on the East Coast took the SAT, while in the Midwest and West the ACT was the preferred exam. It was merely a matter of geographic preference. But now that all information is online, students in all areas are trying both tests.
There are numerous differences between the tests. The ACT includes a section of questions related to science, but it is really about interpreting data. The ACT is also more straightforward in its knowledge-based approach. I suggest that you and your daughter look at the websites of each exam and try the sample questions. Some students simply feel more comfortable with one format than the other. Your daughter could also take both tests, and then compare her results. Colleges truly do not care which test an applicant takes! You can find complete information, plus practice questions, at the SAT and ACT websites.
Test scores now posted on ARIS
Parents may now see their children's 2012 reading and math state test scores on the Education Department's parent website, ARIS, a week earlier than scheduled. The schools' test scores were released last week by the state Department of Education and individual student scores are now up as well, according to parents checking the site today.
Parents and guardians may log on using their ARIS user name and password to access their child's test information.
If you don't have internet access or need help logging onto the ARIS system, the city has set up ARIS access stations at select libraries in all five boroughs during the week of Aug. 6-10. Be sure to bring a photo id. Translation services will be provided. (See a list of the libraries below.
Some 7,000 elementary and middle school students were surprised to find out last week that they had actually passed the state's reading or math tests, even though they had been told they had failed, and were sent to summer school, the New York Post reported on Thursday. Because the state tests for grades 3-8 are now given in the spring, results are not available until after the end of the school year. Schools must use preliminary scores to estimate how many students won't make the mark and they have miscalulated over the past two years.
Test scores released Tuesday
The State Education Department said today that standardized math and reading test scores for grades 3-8 will be released Tuesday, July 17. That's nearly a month earlier than 2011 when test data was released on Aug. 8, with parents able to access their children's scores online on Aug. 17.
This year, test administration in April was marred by errors on the several of the exams resulting in questions being discarded. An 8th-grade exam had a nonsensical story about a talking pineapple that almost no one understood and, in May, teachers were confused about how to score the exams. This was the first year that the testing company Pearson produced the tests. Because of the many mistakes, the state said that Pearson would have to pay for an expert review of its test development process.
Families of 113 children, angry about the emphasis on high-stakes testing, decided to opt out of taking the exam, the New York Times reported, more than in previous years. Many others decided to boycott the field-tests in May and June.
HS Hustle: When failing is the better option
My son did something last month that is apparently unacceptable among driven and high striving high school juniors these days: He failed.
More specifically, he failed the trigonometry Regents by three points – after taking three Advanced Placement exams, six finals, three SAT sittings (one of them unplanned after a testing debacle) and at least four other Regents.
My reaction has surprised me. I'm relieved.
As the recent cheating scandal involving 71 students at high pressure Stuyvesant High unfolds, I'm a lot less concerned about one isolated failure than I am about a "whatever-it-takes to succeed,'' mentality among teenagers bent on success.

See that picture. That's me sharing One Million Men and Me, published by Just Us Books and illustrated by Peter Ambush, at a national conference. I'm excited to now have the chance to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Million Man March in a special way. For the next two weeks, I'm embarking on a virtual tour that will include interviews about the book and my writing life, guest posts, notes from children and other special surprises. I also have some programs and book signings lined up.

I'll draw the three winners on the March anniversary — October 16.
I'm so grateful for all of the support I've received. When I first thought about doing a tour, I envisioned visiting five blogs in the days leading up to the March anniversary. Now, my tour includes 10 blogs, four radio shows and four events. What a blessing.
I want to say a huge thank you to Just Us Books (such an amazing publisher) and illustrator Peter Ambush. You turned my dream of creating a picture book about the Million Man March into reality. Thanks, too, to all of the bloggers, radio hosts, booksellers and museums who are hosting me. I'm moved by your generosity. Finally, I want to thank Nancy I. Sanders and Katia Novet Saint-Lot whose fantastic virtual tours inspired me to do one of my own.
