Lady Eleanor Ramsay is the only one who knows the truth about Hart Mackenzie. Once his fiancée, she is the sole woman to whom he could ever pour out his heart. Hart has it all - a dukedom, wealth, power, influence, whatever he desires. Every woman wants him - his seductive skills are legendary. But Hart has sacrificed much to keep his brothers safe, first from their brutal father, and then from the world. He's also suffered loss: his wife, his infant son, and the woman he loved with all his heart, though he realized it too late.
Now Eleanor has reappeared on Hart's doorstep, with scandalous nude photographs of Hart taken long ago. Intrigued by the challenge in her blue eyes - and aroused by her charming, no-nonsense determination - Hart wonders if his young love has come to ruin him ... or save him.

"Love Book Four!"
I just loved all the books in this series. This is a lovely romance about Hart and Eleanor. I couldn't wait to listen to this book because I wanted to know more about Hart as he had so much responsibility in the family. This book (and series) was so well written. It kept my interest and had grown to really care about these people. I wish there was another book in this series!
I love being swept away by a new romance and thankfully Audible's ever growing Library means I get to indulge myself over and over again
For those of us JA fans who have listened to this entire series so far then I am sure they will agree that each of these books have just been wonderful and a joy to listen to.
If you're a historical romance lover then they just don't get better than this addictive listen about Hart - he has it all - a Dukedom (lovely), wealth (comes in handy), good looks (especially when he's in his kilt), women falling at his feet (well who wouldn't), a high job in Parliament (mmm not so sexy) but the one thing he hasn't got but desperately wants is Lady Eleanor his ex fiancee. He is a deeply tormented soul full of regrets and unfulfilled dreams so can she love him again and save him from himself (everyone say "ahhh").
There's well thought out characters both from previous books and new ones whose input into the story gives it depth, passion, intrigue, humour, sex and it's also touching, tender and sensual as well. You really feel like you know what makes the two lovers tick and what drove them to make the decisions they made in the past.
I hope Audible will give us book 5 The Seduction of Elliot McBride (out now) and 6 The Wicked Deeds of Daniel MacKenzie (sometime in Oct 13) because her fans want this series to continue for generations to come.
Worth a credit? Do you really think I'm going to say Naah after that review - it's a MUST HAVE LISTEN and definitely a re-listen series ..... so that would be a YES. QUI, SI, AYE, SIM, DA, SHI ..... well you get the message.
I love books! Audiobooks take stories to the next level. I'm obsessed with Audible and will try to rate all of my books. Happy Listening! ;)
"Perfect ending..."
This book is just as good as the previous ones. The ending was very good and complete as it gives you a glimpse of how each brother and their families are doing. Hart was completely redeemed in this book. He changed a lot from how he was portrayed throughout the series. Eleanor was his perfect match in every sense. The bit of BDSM between Hart and Eleanor towards the end of the book was kind of weird but I guess it was appropriate to explain his "dark" side. It's nothing too descriptive though.
Narration: well by now Ms. Angela Dawe has improved her Scottish accent a bit and her narration has only gotten better. I highly recommend this book and I'm sad the series has ended.
Say something about yourself!

First Thought when Finished: The Duke's Perfect Wife was fantastic. I loved Eleanor!
Overall Thoughts: I loved Hart and Eleanor's story. I knew that I was going to love Eleanor because she was so straight spoken. She just said what she thought and she said it with style. She didn't let Hart run all over her but she was very real with herself about her feelings. I like how the 2nd half of the story played out. It was perfect for them. I have pretty much plowed through the first 4 books in this series in a matter of weeks. They are that good!
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated By Angela Dawe / Length: 11 hrs and 7 mins
Broken record alert: Angela rocks! She does a fantastic job with this series. I highly recommend listening to them.
Final Thoughts: I am excited to get to the rest of the series.
"love it, so sad to reach the end of this series!"
Loved all four books in this series, but the first and last ones were my favorites. You definitely should listen to all of them. Yes, you can get the basics of the other brothers if you just listen to this book. But then you miss out on all the personality nuances and interactions in the family. Would give this series 10 stars if I could. By this book the characters feel like family, and just the way they act, especially Ian from the first book, made me laugh out loud. Will definitely look for more from this author.
I enjoy historical, paranormal, and contemporary romance. Also steampunk, sci-fi, fantasy, suspense, and fiction. I'm open to about anything
"Read this one to cap it all"
Duke Hart Mackenzie is politically motivated, strong willed, the leader of his family and his political party. Widowed for many years and having suffered the loss of his infant son, he has been concentrating all his energy into gaining power. Now nearing victory, he needs a wife who can stand at his side, to be hostess to all the balls and fetes that will be expected of a Prime Minister. Lady Eleanor Ramsay is the one who got away, the woman who jilted him many years ago, though he never really understood why, despite her explanation. Now he has her back in his sphere of influence, he is determined that she will fulfill the role he has planned for her. This is the 4th of the Mackenzie series. I enjoyed the characters, especially the growth experienced by the Duke, motivated by the events in the plot.
"Another Good Ashley Read"
I had liked the narrator from the other two books, and I waited for this one and was not dissapointed.
The beginning when she comes back into his life.
I don't have a favorite, as I think she does a spectacular job on each character.
Yes, it was.
I recommend all three of the audible books to others!
"Excellent Series"
I loved this book as much as the others. The narrator is great & the story was perfect. I really enjoyed this entire series and hated to see it end. Too bad there was not another brother to write about. Maybe Daniel the son of Cameron would make a good addition to the series.
Never judge a book by its movie
"The Duke's Perfect"
I have read this whole series more than one, so I am pretty confident I will listen again.This series has a beautiful balance of characterization, story line, mystery and romance, which is hard to find in most books.The MacKenzie brother's have damaged souls but, have found away of surviving their horrific upbringing to become much better men ( with the help of their wives, of course)
2 come to mind, without giving much away. The first one was Elle, taking pictures of Hart, and Hart being almost shy about it. Second, when Elle finds Hart in the MacKenzie mausoleum.
Really love Cameron and Daniel, they are hilarious
The Duke's (not so) Perfect Life
I thought it the end of the series, but it looks like there might be a book for Daniel.. Can't wait.
"Cunning yet predictable"
Not a thing, I buy a book from this series whenever I need a mental break from a difficult or depressing read. It's uplifting and enjoyable.
I wouldn't have changed anything. This is all about one big, happy family.
Angela is quite limited but her voice is very soothing. It's not uncommon for her to get the male and female character mixed up and her accents are terrible.
No...all of the brothers are married now, lol.
Don't expect anything spectacular but you will be content.

There are three ways to shut down your PC—you can turn the PC off completely, you can make it sleep, or you can hibernate the PC.
If you don't plan to use your PC for a while, you might want to turn it off completely. Before turning off your PC, close all open desktop apps—this will prompt you to save your work.
The power button won't appear on the Start screen for devices running Windows RT, most tablets that are able to wake up instantly (those that use InstantGo), tablets with screens smaller than 8.5", or if the hardware manufacturer has disabled the button.
If you don't see the power button on the Start screen, here's how to shut down:
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Settings.(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Settings.)
Tap or click Power, and then tap or click Shut down.
Here are some other ways to shut down your PC:
In Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1, there's a faster way to shut down desktops and laptops.
Tap or click Shut down or sign out and choose Shut down.
If you're on the desktop, you can also shut down using touch. Press and hold the Start button on the bottom left-corner of the screen, tap Shut down or sign out, and choose Shut down.
With InstantGo, your PC wakes up instantly from sleep with your apps and data up to date. Your experience can last all day with extended battery life so if you bought a Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1 PC that came with InstantGo, there's really no need to shut down completely. If you want to, there's a quicker way to do that:
Press and hold the power button on your PC (about four seconds) until you see Slide to shut down your PC on the screen.
Then, swipe down or drag the lock screen down with your mouse.
If you change your mind, swipe up or drag the lock screen up with your mouse to go back to what you were doing on your PC.
This uses very little power, your PC starts up faster, and you're instantly back to where you left off. You don't have to worry that you'll lose your work because of your battery draining because Windows automatically saves all your work and turns off the PC if the battery is too low. Use sleep when you're going to be away from your PC for just a little while – like when you're taking a coffee break.
For a lot of PCs (especially laptops and tablets), your PC goes to sleep when you close your lid or press the power button. Here's how to check if this is what happens and to change it if it doesn't.
Open Power Options by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering Power options in the search box, and tapping or clicking Power options.
Do one of the following:
If you're using a desktop or tablet, tap or click Choose what the power button does and under Power button settings, select Sleep and tap or click Save changes.
If you're using a laptop, tap or click Choose what closing the lid does. Then, next to When I close the lid, choose what you want your laptop to do, when it's running on battery and when it's plugged in, and then tap or click Save changes.
When you're ready to make your PC sleep, just close your laptop's lid or press the power button on your desktop or tablet.
This option was designed for laptops and might not be available for all PCs (PCs with InstantGo don't have the hibernate option). Hibernate uses less power than sleep and when you start up the PC again, you're back to where you left off (though not as fast as sleep). Use hibernation when you know that you won't use your laptop or tablet for an extended period and won't have an opportunity to charge the battery during that time. First check to see if this option is available on your PC and if it is, turn it on.
Tap or click Choose what the power button does and under Shutdown settings, select Hibernate (if it's available).
Now you'll see hibernate in these two places:
In the Power menu in the Settings charm.
In the Shut down menu.
If devices connected to your PC (like monitors, printers, or scanners) aren't working properly after waking up from sleep or hibernate, you might need to disconnect and reconnect your device or restart your PC. You should also make sure that you have the most current drivers for all of your devices. For more info, check out how to Download and install drivers.
See all support pages for devices & drivers.

|In the very first episode of the Sports Card Radio Prospect Podcast we talk about several of the games top young players. It starts by talking about the opportunity to watch the #91 rated 2012 MLB Draft prospect Tony Renda of the University of California Golden Bears. Renda is a smallish 2B who was the '11 Pac-10 Player of the Year. It was a very impressive batting practice session by Renda as well as 3 hits during the game against the University of the Pacific Tigers.
Next it's all about the 2011 Cal League MVP - Oakland A's top prospect Michael Choice. I saw Michael play over 60 games in person last year and the loud balls off his bat are a sight to see.

How to Calculate the Performance of a Stock That Has Dividends
Original post by Mark Kennan of Demand Media
If your stock's price per share does not increase, or even decreases, you may still make a profit if the stock pays dividends. When measuring the performance of a stock that pays dividends, if you do not account for the dividends, you do not get a true picture of the return. When measuring the return of a stock that pays dividends, you can measure return as a dollar figure or a percentage of the purchase price.
Step 1
Subtract the initial price of the stock from the ending price. If your answer is negative, your stock decreased in value. For example, if you bought a stock for $35 and sold it for $32, you lost $3.
Step 2
Add any dividends paid by the stock while you owned it. In this example, if the stock paid $1.20 in dividends, add $1.20 to $-3 to get $-1.80.
Step 3
Divide the gain or loss after accounting for dividends by the purchase price to find the rate of return. In this example, divide $-1.80 by $35 to get -0.0514, or a loss of 5.14 percent.

It was a real treat to be able to see all of his toys. Plus I was able to see and better understand how all of the parts fit together and work together in his MG47s. I'm gonna get cracking pretty good now.

Anyone have any problems with removing LegacyNavigator, LegacyPilot, and CompassPilot from lejos.robotics.navigation?
I will replace CompassPilot with CompassPoseProvider. The plan is to extend OdometryPoseProvider and override the getPose() method to get directional data from the compass instead of odometry.
If we ever make a PoseProvider that can synthesize data from multiple sensors, including Compass, then this class will be redundant and we can get rid of it.

Women's Water Polo
News: Water Polo Rallies From 5 Goals Down, Beats LATT In OT, 15-14
In a match where no lead was safe, the Pasadena City College women's water polo team pulled out a thrilling 15-14, overtime victory over Los Angeles Trade Tech Friday in the first round of the 13th Pasadena Bowl Tournament.
The Lancers (2-11) rallied from a 9-4 third-quarter deficit to take their first lead of the game with 35 seconds left in the fourth period on a goal by Jazmine Hernandez. LA Trade Tech answered with nine seconds remaining on a score by Estefany Puente to send the match into overtime at 12-12.
After Stephanie Velasco scored with a minute left in the second, 3-minute overtime session to give PCC a 14-13 lead, LA Trade Tech once again knotted it on on Jennifer Rubio's seventh goal of the match with just 22 seconds to go. Hernandez responded taking a pass from Mariana Silva and firing in the game-winning goal with only 13 seconds on the clock.
Trade Tech tried one more time to send it into a sudden death overtime, but Velasco came up with the defensive play of the game as she caught the arm of Trade Tech's Ceelia Hernandez at point blank range of the PCC goal. Hernandez lost control of the ball as time expired.
For Pasadena, freshman Caroline Liu (Mark Keppel High) scored a team season-high seven goals, including three during PCC's rally in the fourth quarter. The freshman Jazmine Hernandez (Alhambra High) had perhaps the finest all-around performance by a Lancer all season with four goals, four assists and seven steals. Velasco (Eagle Rock High) contributed three goals and three assists. Freshman winger Camille Saurenman (Pasadena HS) scored a goal and had two assists. Silva chipped in three assists. Goalie Alenoush Aslanin (Glendale) made four saves defending the PCC net.
Earlier Friday, Diablo Valley knocked off the Lancers, 17-5. Velasco scored four goals.
Other Pasadena Bowl scores were: LA Pierce 18, LA Trade Tech 3; Cerritos 16, Southwestern 4; LA Pierce 20, Southwestern 5; Cerritos 9, Diablo Valley 7.
The Lancers face Southwestern in a 10:10 a.m. game Saturday, then close out the tourney at 3:50 p.m. against LA Pierce. In other October 12 games, Diablo Valley plays LA Trade Tech at 9 a.m.; Cerritos v. LA Pierce at 11:20 a.m.; Southwestern v. Diablo Valley at 1:30 p.m.; and Cerritos v. LA Trade Tech at 2:40 p.m.

Looking for Love & Friends in All the Right Places
Submitted by Cheri Felix on
I was at a coach's conference a few weekends ago. It was fun and I met very nice people. Those people are dedicated to coaching young people on bikes and creating life-long cyclists. But enough about that. This isn't that article.
I'm curious (nosey) so I asked my conference mates if they were married and one person said, "I have a boyfriend." I replied with, "I sometimes think about getting one of those too." Of course I'm joking. I'm happily married. But I do remember the old days when I wasn't married and the next greatest guy was always a barstool away. Did I just say that? Yes I did.
This was of course before the world wide web really got started and so naturally there was no match as far as we know dot com or e harmony at least for awhile dot com. We had to go out and gulp, hope it all worked out. But the kids these days have it nice. They can find someone on a bike ride.
Now, before I go any further let me disclose something; I'm sort of joking. What I am about to tell you isn't exactly matchmyridingstyle dot com but it is a nice way to meet people with whom you have at least one thing in common. And isn't that better than looking for someone to share your love of chili fries and old movies with? Or how about other cool women to ride with? Or people with whom you can shred after a hard day at work or with the kids or all of the above?
So the Boulder Mountain Bike Alliance (BMA) has a Mix and Mingle the first Tuesday of every month. After the ride the group goes out for dinner and drinks so you can get to know people better. You don't have to be looking for love but you never know. Check it out! http://bouldermountainbike.org/og/mix-and-mingle
In case you are a girl and you would like to ride with other girls, BMA has you covered too. They have a GURLZ ride weekly. However they do alternate Wednesdays and Thursdays so be sure to check out their calendar. The Thursday rides are generally better for women who know the trails and who aren't afraid of getting the lead out. Generally all of the rides are topped off with meeting at a restaurant for dinner and drinks. A very cool way to spend a summer evening for sure. http://bouldermountainbike.org/og/gurlz-ride
And be still my beating heart but BMA also has BOSS rides which stands for Blow Off Some Steam! LOVE it! These rides are intermediate to advanced coed rides. Check the calendar for more info about these rides.
Whether you are going out to ride with the girls or out with the boys or both here are a few tips to remember when heading out:
- Arrive early. If the ride begins at 6:00 that means tires roll at 6:00. Don't drive up at 6:00 and expect others to wait. Get there early enough to put your bike together, go pee and say hi to your new besties.
- Bring a tube, pump, nutrition and water. And hey maybe carry an extra GU. Sharing is Caring.
BMA has other rides too. And so do other groups. If you are looking for more, ask your fav bike shop. They are sure to have some great ideas for you. In the meantime, get out and ride. And if you do meet the love of your life on the bike, be sure to invite me to the wedding.

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsOctober 24, 2012
What skills and qualities are employers seeking in the graduates they're recruiting from the Class of 2013? Above all, they're looking to hire candidates with outstanding communication skills and who are team players, according to results of NACE's Job Outlook 2013 survey.
The top five skills/qualities employers report seeking are the same as last year, although the order has been somewhat shuffled.
In this year's survey, participants rated "ability to verbally communicate with persons inside and outside the organization" (second in Job Outlook 2012) and "ability to work in a team structure" (first in Job Outlook 2012) as the two most important candidate skills/qualities.
These are followed by candidates' "ability to make decisions and solve problems," "ability to obtain and process information," (fifth in Job Outlook 2012) and "ability to plan, organize, and prioritize work" (fourth in Job Outlook 2012).
And like last year, the least important candidate skills/qualities on the list are the "ability to create and/or edit written reports" and the "ability to sell or influence others."
Following is the list of the employer ratings from the Job Outlook 2013 report:
Weighted average rating*
Ability to verbally communicate with persons inside and outside the organization
Ability to work in a team structure
Ability to make decisions and solve problems
Ability to plan, organize, and prioritize work
Ability to obtain and process information
Ability to analyze quantitative data
Technical knowledge related to the job
Proficiency with computer software programs
Ability to create and/or edit written reports
Ability to sell or influence others
*5-point scale, where 1=Not at all important; 2=Not very important; 3=Somewhat important; 4=Very important; and 5=Extremely important
Source: Job Outlook 2013, National Association of Colleges and Employers
Data for the Job Outlook 2013 survey was collected from July 25, 2012 through September 10, 2012. A total of 244 surveys were returned—a 25.2 percent response rate. The full survey results will be available in November.

Spike is trolling Will Smith
Spike is trolling Will Smith
Melo set a great screen for Lin there. Love it.
Any word on Girafferies? He is still in the locker room..where is Tina?
We are alive!
Melo playing unselfish!
Stat playing intense on both sides of the court. And on the boards!
Lin swishing and dishing!
Let's keep this up!
ticky tack foul call on Melo
If this is the Melo we are going to see for now on, our hopes of winning a playoff game are slim to none.
How are the chants of DEFENSE from the Knicks fans?
Piss weak lady boy foul call on Melo there.
Lin's move was erotic.
Lin taking over the 4th
Lin 5 rebounds ! For a PG he rebounds very well !
and yet another clutch 2 free throws !
Either Melo is a superstar or a product of George Karl's system.
That Was Such A Sick Block!

ZF-7334: PHP 5.3 compatibility for Zend_Cache_Backend_File stil not fixed 100%
Error suppression works in a production environment, but my development environment does not suppress errors/notices and this problem still persists.
Please fix this, it should not use a deprecated function.
Thank you for your work!
Can you please specify where something is not working correctly? Example code or something similar would be very cool. :)
From looking at the original issue, I would think this used to occur in the _fileGetContents() function of Zend_Cache_Backend_File. However, when looking in trunk as well as release-1.9, I saw no more use of get/set_magic_quotes* or any checks regarding those functions.
So might be an old version of ZF.
Can you check the Zend_Version class, there should be a version number for your ZF release.
this was fixed by matthew in r17028 (ZF-7375)

"Car Tax" Relief
Does my car qualify for "Car Tax" Relief?
To qualify for "Car Tax" relief, a vehicle must be owned or leased by an individual, have a registered gross weight of less than 7501 pounds, and NOT be used for business purposes.
If you can answer YES to any of the following questions, your motor vehicle is considered by State Law to have a business use and does not qualify for Car Tax Relief.
- Is more than 50% of the mileage for the year used as a business expense for Federal Income Tax purposes OR reimbursed by an employer?
- Is more than 50% of the depreciation associated with the vehicle deducted as a business expense for Federal Income Tax purposes?
- Is the cost of the vehicle expensed pursuant to Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Service Code?
- Is the vehicle leased by an individual and the leasing company pays the tax without reimbursement from the individual?
"I thought the Car Tax was going away. Why do I still have to pay?"
Under Virginia law -- the Personal Property Tax Relief Act of 1998 (PPTRA, also known as the "No Car Tax" legislation) -- the State planned to subsidize 100% of the taxes on personal use vehicle assessments below $20,000 by the year 2002. In passing this law, the State effectively pledged state revenue to pay local governments throughout the Commonwealth a subsidy in lieu of personal property taxes that local governments would have otherwise collected directly from taxpayers. At present, the State pays approximately 62% of the bill, and the taxpayer pays the remaining 38%. These rates are subject to change annually. The taxpayer must pay the full amount of taxes on any vehicle assessment that exceeds $20,000. Only personal use vehicles qualify for PPTRA.
The law always had a stipulation that if the growth in state revenue did not reach certain levels, the amount of state subsidy would be frozen at the current level. Because of the slowdown in state revenue, the State has capped the local subsidies to a fixed amount to be distributed among qualifying vehicles in each jurisdiction.
For more information, review the Personal Property Tax Relief Act of 1998 fact sheet, or contact the Department of Tax Administration at 703-222-8234.

The crtc helper code has the fundamental assumption that encoders and crtcs can be enabled/disabled in any order, as long as we take care of depencies (which means that enabled encoders need an enabled crtc to feed them data, essentially).
Our hw works differently. We already have tons of ugly cases where crtc code enables encoder hw (or
encoder->mode_set enables stuff that should only be
enabled in
enocder->commit) to work around these issues. But on the disable side
we can't pull off similar tricks - there we actually need to rework the modeset
sequence that controls all this. And this is also the real motivation why I've finally undertaken this rewrite: eDP on my shiny new Ivybridge Ultrabook is broken, and it's broken due to the wrong disable sequence ...
The new code introduces a few interfaces and concepts:
- Add new encoder->enable/disable functions which are directly called from the crtc->enable/disable function. This ensures that the encoder's can be enabled/disabled at a very specific in the modeset sequence, controlled by our platform specific code (instead of the crtc helper code calling them at a time it deems convenient).
- Rework the dpms code - our code has mostly 1:1 connector:encoder mappings and does support cloning on only a few encoders, so we can simplify things quite a bit.
- Also only ever disable/enable the entire output pipeline. This ensures that we obey the right sequence of enabling/disabling things, trying to be clever here mostly just complicates the code and results in bugs. For cloneable encoders this requires a bit of special handling to ensure that outputs can still be disabled individually, but it simplifies the common case.
- Add infrastructure to read out the current hw state. No amount of careful ordering will help us if we brick the hw on the initial modeset setup. Which could happen if we just randomly disable things, oblivious to the state set up by the bios. Hence we need to be able to read that out. As a benefit, we grow a few generic functions useful to cross-check our modeset code with actual hw state.
- As detailed above, the new code only disables/enables an entire output pipe. As a preparation for global mode-changes (e.g. reassigning shared resources) it keeps track of which pipes need to be touched by a set of bitmasks.
- To ensure that we correctly disable the current display pipes, we need to know the currently active connector/encoder/crtc linking. The old crtc helper simply overwrote these links with the new setup, the new code stages the new links in
->new_*pointers. Those get commited to the real linking pointers once the old output configuration has been torn down, before the
->mode_setcallbacks are called.
- Finally the code adds tons of self-consistency checks by employing the new hw state readout functions to cross-check the actual hw state with what the datastructure think it should be. These checks are done both after every modeset and after the hw state has been read out and sanitized at boot/resume time. All these checks greatly helped in tracking down regressions and bugs in the new code.
- I think we should create
struct intel_modeand use it as the adjusted mode everywhere to store little pieces like
needs_tvclock, pipe dithering values or dp link parameters. That would still be a layering violation, but at least we wouldn't need to recompute these kinds of things in intel_display.c. Especially the port bpc computation needed for selecting the pipe bpc and dithering settings in intel_display.c is rather gross.
- In a related rework we could implement
->mode_validin terms of
->mode_fixupin a generic way - I've hunted down too many bugs where ->mode_valid did the right thing, but
->mode_fixupdidn't. Or vice versa, resulting in funny bugs for user-supplied modes.
- Ditch the idea to rework the hdp handling in the common crtc
helper code and just move things to i915.ko. Which would rid us of the
->detectcrtc helper dependencies.
- LVDS wire pair and pll enabling is all done in the
crtc->mode_setfunction currently. We should be able to move this to the crtc_enable callbacks (or in the case of the LVDS wire pair enabling, into some encoder callback).

The City of Modesto has been ranked as one of the top 10 most technology-advanced cities in the 2013 Digital Cities Survey published by e.Repubic's Center for Digital Government and the Digital Communities Program. The survey examines results achieved by cities, via the use of technology, in operating efficiencies and realizing strategic objectives despite current fiscal constraints.
"Citizen input and department partnerships have enabled Modesto to continually deliver excellent technology services which is critical in these difficult economic times," said Bryan Sastokas, Chief Information Officer for the City of Modesto. "We make every effort to apply technology in ways that can provide transparency and improve civic engagement and those efforts have been recognized."
"Nationally the number of tech-savvy digital cities is increasing, particularly among the larger jurisdictions responding to the survey," said Todd Sander, Executive Director of the Center for Digital Government. "The top digital cities are leaders in open data and transparency efforts, as well as innovators in deploying mobile applications to citizens while conforming to fiscal standards."
The survey was open to all U.S. cities with a population of 30,000 or more and respondent cities were classified into four size-based categories. Modesto ranked 7th in the 125,000-249,999 population category. Click here to see the full survey results.

5 Alive: Carolina Beach narrows field for vacant seats
Published: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 10:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 10:44 a.m.
The Carolina Beach Town Council has selected five finalists for its two vacant seats and will interview them in public during a special meeting at 5:30 p.m. at Town Hall, 1121 N. Lake Park Blvd.
Council members Sarah Friede, Bob Lewis and Steve Shuttleworth plan to make the two appointments at the beginning of the regular meeting at 6:30 p.m. today. They each narrowed their selections from a pool of 16 applicants after conducting private, individual interviews last week.
Shuttleworth selected Dennis "Duke" Hagestrom, Douglas B. Andrews, LeAnn Pierce and Jody N. Smith. Lewis selected Andrews, Hagestrom, Pierce and Michael "Tom" Bridges. Friede selected Andrews, Hagestrom, Pierce, Smith and Bridges.
On Nov. 13, Mayor Ray Rothrock and Councilman Lonnie Lashley resigned, leaving open the two elected seats. Both expire on Dec. 10, 2013.
But if the council appoints one of its current members to fill out the mayoral seat then he would have to resign his current seat before being appointed mayor. Friede said she is not interested in becoming mayor, while Shuttleworth and Lewis have not yet decided publicly. Lewis' term expires in December 2013, while Shuttleworth's ends in December 2015.
Check back later for more on this developing story.

Reviews for New Orleans-Style Chicken
"Very, very good. I have a few people in my that don't like peppers, however, so I switched out the peppers for a can of whole kernel corn. I didn't cook the corn quite as long as the carrots. I just added them in on the last 5 minutes of sauting. Turned out great. This is deffinately a keeper."
"This is absolutely delicious! A stand-by-itself meal with just the right amount of Cajun kick!I served it in a soup bowl, as it's like a stew, accompanied by a hurricane in celebration of Fat Tuesday. Excellent recipe that I will most definitely make repeatedly !I made 3 small changes:1) tossed the cubed chicken breast in Cajun seasoning before browning2) added 1 lb of precooked andouille sausage cut into cubes and browned with the chicken3) used chicken broth rather than waterDelectable!"
"My husband I like to vist LA during Mardi Gras season, but didn't make it there this year. I wanted to make a NOLA style dish for celebrating Mardi Gras at home and came apon this recipe. I add a pound of Andouille Sausage (slliced). I bought the minute rice by accident, so I reduced the water (which by the way cut down on the cooking time).My family went crazy for this dish. Unlike the traditional Jambalya, this is a healthy dish. I have made it many times since Mardi Gras and my family enjoys it every time."
"We made this for Fat Tuesday! Just delicious~left out the mushrooms because of my son-in-law's dislike and we added shrimp! So good-everyone loved it!"
"This was one of the first recipes I tried from the Taste of Home Cookbook and it was so delicious."

|Vandals take nine titles
MOSCOW, Idaho – University of Idaho track and field claimed nine individual titles and made five record-book entries on Saturday at the Duane Hartman Invitational and made one entry on Sunday at the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational.
The Vandal women claimed six of the event victories, while the men posted three. Of the five all-time top-10 entries, three came from the women and two from the men. It was Idaho throws that came up the biggest on the weekend.
Junior Kristine Leonard had a breakout day in the women's shot put and discus. She won the shot put with a career-best 47-9.75 (14.57m), which ranks ninth all-time at Idaho, then took second and was the top collegian in the discus at 161-11 (49.35m). That toss is third-best in the Western Athletic Conference so far this year and sixth-best all-time at Idaho.
To have two career bests for that meet was huge and it brings a lot of confidence for her," Idaho head track and field coach Julie Taylor said of Leonard. "Kristine has huge upside, and I know she's going to continue to get better and better. She's a hard-working kid, so it's really rewarding as a coach to see her get that."
Also in the women's throws, junior Ellen Rouse led a 1-2 Idaho finish in the women's javelin with a career-best 147-0 (44.81m), which improves her No. 6 all-time standing in the event. Freshman Johanna Hocketstaller was second at 139-7 (42.55m).
The Vandal men's javelin pair of sophomore Ugis Svazs and junior Mike Marshall posted the top two collegiate marks at the event and finished second and third overall, both with career bests in the event. Svazs re-took the WAC lead with an 11-foot career best of 227-5 (69.32m), while Marshall followed with a career-best 217-10 (66.39m).
"Ugis had a bit of injury issue last year, but he's really getting back into the rhythm of throwing," Taylor said. "He had a really good week of practice and it kind of felt like he had something good building up."
Svazs' throw ranks 13th in the West Region and 24th in the NCAA so far this year, while Marshall's is 24th in the West Region and 45th in the NCAA. The marks are also first and second in the WAC and third and fifth all-time at Idaho, respectively.
"It was a really good field and a really good competition in the men's javelin," Taylor said. "There was a lot of energy around the competition, both from our two guys and from everyone else in the field. Everyone was really building off each other and made it a great competition to be a part of."
At the Payton Jordan Invitational, hosted by Stanford University, senior Stephane Colle finished eighth in his section of the men's 1500m with a career-best time of 3:47.86. That time is second-best in the WAC so far this season and ranks ninth all-time at Idaho.
"It's his fastest time as a Vandal and I was really happy with the way he ran," Idaho director of track and field/cross country Wayne Phipps said. "Now the next step is just to find that extra gear in the last 300 to 400 meters and he can make that next jump forward."
Junior Donavon Cunningham, a fullback, finished spring football two weeks ago and on Saturday, he took over the WAC lead in the men's discus with a 167-9 (51.14m) to win the event. Decathletes Andrew Blaser, a senior, and Colin Briggs, a junior, also both hit career-best marks in the event at 117-10 (35.93m) and 116-1 (35.38m), respectively.
Sophomore Cait Rowland was a double winner for the Vandal women in the hurdles. She ran a 15.35 in the women's 100m hurdles, then followed it up with a 1:06.29 to take the 400m hurdles crown. Junior Alyssa Covington won the women's long jump with a mark of 18-1.75 (5.53m), while senior Gabby Midles hit 183-10 (56.03m) to win the women's hammer throw.
"You're kind of doing some fine-tuning and it also helps the confidence when you can perform well in the meets leading up to conference," Phipps said. "I think people are taking advantage of the meets right now and they're performing really well."
For the men, freshman Ben Ayesu-Attah took the 400m dash in 49.01, senior Rendel Jones won the triple jump with a mark of 45-5 (13.84m) and sophomore Andrey Levkiv won the shot put with a heave of 51-2.75 (15.61m). Sophomore Kyle Rothwell was fourth overall and the top collegiate finisher in the hammer throw at 191-4 (58.31m).
Also among Idaho's 12 career-best marks at the meet were junior Jeff Osborn, who ran a 1:54.45 in the men's 800m and freshman Jesse Villines, who posted a 15.86 in the men's 110m hurdles. For the women, junior Laurel Draper ran a 13-second career best of 11:17.40 in a third-place finish in the 3000m steeplechase and freshman Reba Eggert, a heptathlete, hit personal bests of 15-3.5 (4.66m) in the long jump and 35-11.5 (10.96m) in the shot put.
With the Duane Hartman Invitational in the books, the only thing left on Idaho's slate before the WAC Championships on May 8-11, is the Vandal Jamboree. The inaugural meet on Idaho's freshly renovated Dan O'Brien Track & Field Complex will be Friday and Saturday, May 4-5.
We're very excited – a lot of nervous energy, but we're very excited and it will be a neat trial run for us before hosting the WAC Championships," Phipps said. "There are a lot of positives about hosting and we're very excited for it."

The sold-out kickoff event was last night, but that's okay: the real Park City Food & Wine Festival starts today.
The celebration of food, wine and the Park City lifestyle has had a lot of ups and downs over the years–this year, planning and management was pulled back into town and the event promises to be the best yet.
Today's seminars, for example, started with Mud, Sweat and Cheers, a bike ride through some of the most panoramic single-tracks in Park City. Participants were led and fed by Stein Eriksen Lodge executive chef Zane Holmquist with wines from Fisher Vineyards and David Arthur Vineyards.
The Main Street Stroll Grand Tasting starts at 4; walk from restaurant to restaurant for food and wine pairings.
And the Toast of Park City, the really big tasting, tomorrow at Canyons starts at 3.
Finally, The Montage Deer Valley will host the "Best of the Best" closing party for the 2012 Park City Food and Wine Classic on Saturday. It runs from 7 to 10 p.m. and will feature will feature top-tier wines, spirits and culinary creations by renowned Montage chefs, plus performers from Cirque du Soleil's world-famous "O."
To find out about other seminars and events today and tomorrow, go to www.parkcityfoodandwineclassic.com.

An exceptionally gifted and physical athlete who appears to be thriving under the leadership of new head coach Ruffin McNeill ... Perhaps turned in the strongest spring performance of his career to earn a decisive preseason nod as the Pirates' starter at the running back position ... Renewed optimism and bright outlook for a high-impact senior campaign will follow distractive sophomore and junior seasons which limited production and significant playing time ... McNeill's guidance and continued on-and-off-the-field progress will spark honors candidacy run at the conference level ... Talent level and continued impressive gains in the strength program could fuel play at the next level if focus is maintained ... Also considered a noted pass catcher out of the backfield ... Displayed flashes of speed, elusiveness and physical dominance during first three seasons despite interruptions ... Picked up 31 yards on eight rushes and caught three passes for 40 yards during the first spring scrimmage April 3 ... Followed with a limited role in second battle, rushing just twice (five yards) and netting a pair of receptions (11) ... Closed out drills with a team-high 45 ground yards (five carries) and six catches for 11 yards during the Purple-Gold Game (April 17) ... Joined the Pirates from an exceptionally successful prep program at local J.H. Rose High School.
2009: Playing time was limited to a career low as a junior because of a right knee injury suffered after the SMU contest (Oct. 10) ... Played in the first six games (Appalachian State, West Virginia, North Carolina, UCF, Marshall and SMU) before being sidelined for the remainder of the season ... Ran for 38 yards on 14 carries and caught three passes for seven yards ... Rushed eight times for 31 yards in the first two contests against ASU (4-15) and WVU (4-16) ... Picked up seven yards on the ground against Tar Heels to close out rushing totals for the campaign ... Also had a season-high two receptions (three yards) against UNC ... Other grab came in Morgantown against Mountaineers (four yards) ... Averaged 24.0 yards per kickoff return, netting 96 yards on four attempts ... Had multiple returns at North Carolina (2-45) and single bring-backs at West Virginia (30 yards) and Marshall (21 yards).
2008: Played in the first seven games before an indefinite suspension (announced Oct. 21) sidelined him for the remaining seven contests ... Made only start of career vs. Virginia ... Despite missing half of the schedule, still finished as the unit's third-leading rusher with 380 yards on 75 carries - averaging a team-best 5.1 yards per attempt ... Scored five rushing touchdowns (two vs. West Virginia; one each vs. Virginia Tech, Virginia and Memphis) ... Score vs. Tigers was a personal-long run of 68 yards ... Also turned in only career 100-yard rushing game vs. Memphis (15-108) ... Set a new career-best with 19 carries against Cavaliers that netted 95 yards ... Other notable performances came against West Virginia (17-69), Virginia Tech (10-48) and N.C. State (6-43) ...

We have many traditions, but bad sportsmanship isn't one of them.
One of the primary goals of the University of Arizona Athletics Department is to promote first-class conduct at each of our athletics events. It is important that coaches, players, staff, spirit groups, students and fans represent the University in a positive manner at all times.
The following Bear Down with Pride sportsmanship guidelines were created to promote and maintain a safe, comfortable, and family-friendly experience at each Arizona Athletics venue:
- Expect and encourage good displays of sportsmanship from fellow fans.
- Respect all staff, fans, officials, student-athletes and opposing teams.
- Cheer, show your UA pride, and be loud in a respectful manner.
- Antagonizing or taunting others is not the same as cheering.
- Refrain from unruly actions or behaviors.
- Drink responsibly when choosing to consume alcoholic beverages prior to an athletic event.
- Respect all facility regulations and comply with public address announcements.
Fans must adhere to the Bear Down with Pride sportsmanship guidelines or they will be subject to removal without refund, and ticket renewal privileges may be revoked. Threatening, intimidating or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Intervention with impaired, intoxicated or underage guests will be handled in a prompt and safe manner. Those appearing intoxicated will be denied entry or will be subject to ejection.
On behalf of our student-athletes, coaches, staff and your fellow Wildcat fans, thank you for your cooperation.
Bear Down With Pride!

Now we will explain the different stages of the designing process of a cordless drilling machine. It all starts with the user-oriented desire for such a machine. Then the new product has to be defined, initial sketches and studies are necessary before the electric tool can be produced. In addition, you will gain an insight into the possible future of hand-operated electric tools: Have a look at the pocket-drill which is nearly as small as your own hand.
It always starts with the demands and wishes of our customers.
Above all, this means for the new products that they always have to meet the following needs of our customers: an ease of operation, a very high power reserve and a long operating time without having to change the battery and a very low weight.
Based on consumer requirement, our engineers created some initial sketches and ideas for the realisation of the project. These sketches mainly defined the basic lines for the design. These sketches helped us to coordinate the first stages of work between the design department and the engineering department.
In order to realize the project we had to consider all aspects concerning the construction, the production and ergonomics. The housing was built according to the dimensions of the motor, the ventilator, the gear-box, etc. The result of this coordination was recorded in a two-dimensional sketch.
The next step was to use the 2D-data from the product design for a 3D-model. For the first time we were able to check all elements from the construction and the design in a virtual model.
The next step was to mill a real 3D-model according to the 3D-data. This model was used for first performance testings. After several months of work it was the first time that we could touch and test the product of our efforts on its handling.
The 3D-data was accurately checked by means of simulation modelling. We tested the strength of materials under continuous operation such as possible fracture points and ductile behaviour at high temperatures. This data resulting from simulation may reduce the need for time-consuming tests with real models and fasten dramatically the development process of a product.
You see an increasing deformation from the blue colour to the red colour. The maximum deformation of the respective shape is shown by the red colour in the scale. The presentation of the deformation is also standardised to the maximum deformation.
Our engineers and product designers keep on working out ideas and studies for new innovative products. Sometimes they create sketches which go far beyond the so called electric tool. Here we would like to present one of these studies: A pocket-drill which is nearly as small as the guiding hand. At the mo-ment this study cannot be realized. We should not forget the great possibility for development of battery-operated tools and, above all, the general trend towards miniaturization of parts. Therefore it is very likely that such tools will be produced in the near future.
Metabo is a brand designed for professional users. We develop our power tools in conjunction with you, our customers in the trade, and test them the way you use them. We keep a close eye on the market and react quickly to meet your needs. We concentrate on the things that really make your day easier whether it be on site, in workshops or in production halls.

1 1/2 oz. Hendricks gin
5 oz. white grape juice
1/2 oz. cucumber syrup
1/2 oz. lime juice
sprig of thyme
But the color of the evening was pink.
Fashionistas know that the year's "it" color is a hue dubbed "honeysuckle" by the color czars at Pantone.
Who knew that bartenders paid attention to Pantone? Somehow the color has is part of the zeitgeist.
How else to account for the prevalence of pink cocktails at last night's Park City Cocktail Contest? Really, every other drink was pink, colored with pomegranate syrup or pomegranate liqueur. One—the Vida tequila-based Silver Snake from the Matthew Kallio at Silver—made it all the way to the last shake-off, helped by a great presentation involving a strip of lime zest spiralling out of a single extra-large ice cube. Here's the recipe:
1.5 oz. Vida Blanco
1 oz. Pama liqueur
1 oz. simple syrup
1 Tbsp. orange marmalade
You can find silcon ice trays that make extra-large cubes at gourmet stores.
It was a long evening and a lot of sipping, but the cocktails were across-the-board better than those mixed up in last year's competition.
The cleverest drink—not an award officially given—was made by two-time contest champ Bonnie Ulmer from Deer Valley: Called the "Elder Herradura," the tequila-based cocktail was garnished with two lime jello shots.

My brother left me an NRA civil war relic, but I have no idea where it came from. Could it been some sort of membership gift?
edit:This item used to be owned by my late brother. It is a limited edition placard encasing two coins, a quote, and a relic minieball recovered from a civil war encampment or battlefield. There are two challenge coins of NRA founders Captain Wingate and Lieutenant Colonel Church. The coins and quote are plated with 24K gold, and nothing of course has ever been removed from behind the glass. The placard has been taken out before, but is it perfect condition. It is a truly beautiful item There is a certificate of authenticity provided by the National Rifle Association.

TPeek-a-Boo Panda Baby & Toddler Toy by Melissa and Doug
This wooden panda baby toy loves to play peekaboo! Hear the click and clack as its paws flap up to cover the cheerful face, then push them down again to say, "Hello!" Even babies can bring about a big visual change with just a simple motion, so they're encouraged to keep exploring as fine motor skills grow naturally. Made with select hardwood and child-safe dyes, First Play Peek-a-Boo Panda makes a heartwarming baby-shower gift.
Extension Activities: More Ways to Play and Learn:
Talk to your child about what you see. Describe the colors, shapes and features of the panda's face, pointing to each feature as you say its name. Pause between sentences so the child can "answer" with babbles or gestures. Toddlers may be able to point to the features after you demonstrate. Flip the paws up to hide the panda's eyes. ("Where is Panda?") Flip the paws down and say, "Peekaboo!" Listen to the click of the paws as they snap closed. Ask the child to close the paws and pat the panda, exploring the sounds he/she can make.
Dimensions: 6" x 4.25" x 1.25" Packaged

MORE: Can you give an example of a time you were objectified?
NK: I graduated fromthe Fashion Institue of Technology. I was a fashion illustration major and I had worked very hard on my portfolio, I had an incredible instructor, I felt very confident about my work and thought going for a job was going to be an exciting opportunity for me to use my skills. Plus, my mother kept impressing upon me every day that I had to get a job. So, my first job interview: I walk into this office and there's a guy and he's got his feet up on the table, and he's eating a tuna sandwich, and he says to me, "Young lady, why don't you put your portfolio down there and turn around for me." I was 18, and, quite frankly, I was frozen. I didn't know what to do. I heard my mother's voice saying get a job, and so I turned around. And as I was turning around, I was sick to my stomach. I was embarrassed and humiliated. I was so upset and I stayed absolutely quiet. I can't tell you a word the guy said or what happened, except that I knew as I was in tears leaving that office and that I was never going to go back into a situation like that again.
I did not tell that story until six months ago, but by getting my stories out, I'm positive it will help me and other women. I really believe the more conversations we have with each other, the more we'll help each other. And what could be better than women who are more and more empowered every day? We'll make better wives, better partners, we'll be much stronger. We will be more invincible because we won't be able to be taken down so easily by things that are really not important. … If we want to buy $2,500 bags it will be because we just made partner and got a big bonus, not because we feel less in ourselves and our bag is going to give us more credibility than we deserve.
MORE: Have you found commonalities in the stories being shared?
NK: Every woman I've interviewed and I speak to has issues with food. Every woman. There's something wrong with that. … I've learned in last few years that the way I looked at food and the way I measured my happiness was controlling how I felt about myself, and it wasn't until I understood that if I ate healthier, I wouldn't be as addicted to food. I would be able to eat whenever I was hungry, rather than whenever I was anxious. I discovered that the better the food was, the more I could eat and feel good, versus the more I ate, the more I felt bad about myself. That took a lot of time for me. I was 65 when I figured it out.
MORE: How does the way we dress affect our empowerment?
NK: Clothing can help self-esteem, but it is temporary because sooner or later we take off our clothing. The way we dress says a lot about what we think of ourselves -- therefore, what we want others to think of us. But, ultimately, our actions and accomplishments affect our empowerment.
MORE: What ares some actions women can take to improve their body image?
NK: Take positive action. Start with the emotional release of the stories, then take another action to cleanse the body, as well. Remove sugar and highly processed foods. Exercise every day if you can in some way and find a cause or community activity where you can help others. By helping others you fill your soul, and what a better place to put a full soul then a cleansed body.
MORE: What changes do you hope to see in our lifetime?
NK: If all men understand the effect of objectification we experience in relationships and dating, in the office and a simple walk down the street, they will be the force of change. We just need to let them know what we experience every day.
