There are animated films coming out all the times in both theaters and straight to video. Sadly those that come to video are usually rehashes of other versions that are on the big screen or sequels of some kind, but every so often an original film comes along that tries something new. The latest War of the Worlds Goliath sports a decent voice cast including Adrian Paul, Adam Baldwin, James Arnold Taylor and is produced by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle co-creator Kevin Eastman, but does it pack the punch needed to stand out?
In War of the Worlds Goliath it has been 15 years since the original Martian invasion. Fearing another attack, the human race has prepared itself with 'Goliath', the vanguard of an army of steam-powered battle walkers, heat-ray biplanes, and armored zeppelins facing a Martian fleet of giant fighting machines and flying wings in a struggle to save Earth. There have been so many variations on the classic War of the Worlds story, but nothing quite like this. The retro steampunk aspect of this add a cool new element to the war with mars making for a compelling story. The biggest issue with this film is the pacing as it runs a bit slow for the first half of the film. This is clearly to try an build up the characters and story which is fine, it just felt like there were some directions that could have been left out to streamline it. Once you get to the meat of the film it picks up a bit with some fun action featuring not only the alien tripods, but with varying steampunk themed war machines including zepplins, bi-planes and Star Wars like walkers. The animation is really great showcasing both a bit of an anime style blended with an American style as well. They use some great camera styles to enhance the overall look that really takes it to another level.
Visually this is a cool looking movie filled with some great action, but as mentioned before it is pretty slow paced so may lose some. Fans of steampunk and / or the War of the Worlds story will likely enjoy this film, but others may be on the fence. Animation is one of those genres that is subject to so many variations that it is sure to hit everyone differently so check it out for yourself when it hits stores on April 1st.

College Hockey:Stalock, Bulldogs Ride Familiar Playoff Formula, Oust Sioux
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The formula is seemingly not complicated.
The success is not exactly overwhelming.
But Minnesota-Duluth keeps plugging away in the WCHA playoffs, and it has earned a chance at becoming the league's ultimate bracket buster.
Already having dispatched the WCHA's fourth and fifth seeds in their first three games of the postseason, the Bulldogs took down the top dogs, North Dakota, with a set of events that is becoming familiar.
First-period goals by MacGregor Sharp and Mike Montgomery established seventh-seeded UMD, and it relied on more strong goaltending from first-team all-WCHA selection Alex Stalock to bring home a 3-0 victory over the Sioux on Friday at Xcel Energy Center.
In all four playoff games, the Bulldogs have gained a first-period lead and been strong defensively each time.
"That's our goal, to come out in the first five minutes and set the tempo for the game," Stalock said. "I thought we did a good job with that. … We don't look back once we get the lead."
Said Sharp: "Getting the first goal is huge so we get can into our style of play again."
No team has ever won three games in three days at the Final Five. No team has ever defeated Denver in the tournament at this arena.
The Bulldogs get the chance to do both Saturday night in the title game, a place UMD has never been since the league moved to the playoff championship format in 1988. Its last appearance in the finals was 24 years ago, when it beat Minnesota in a two-game, total-goals series.
It's likely the Bulldogs will try to follow the same map that got them there. Why not? It worked again Friday.
Minnesota-Duluth got the lead thanks to a blunder by North Dakota goaltender Brad Eidsness, who left the puck for a teammate behind his net on the power play.
But Sharp zoomed in and got to the puck first, then tucked it inside the left post before Eidsness could recover.
It was the 10th shorthanded goal North Dakota has allowed this season, but Sioux captain Ryan Duncan wouldn't say it was a backbreaker.
"That one goal shouldn't have beaten us," he said. "It just wouldn't go in for us tonight."
Less than three minutes later, the Bulldogs had a 2-0 lead after Montgomery did a nice turn on the rebound of a Josh Meyer shot and got the puck far enough around Eidsness to slide it into the net.
"They outplayed us for what they needed to," North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol said. "I think we played better in the last 20 minutes, but they did enough to win the game."
Mike Connolly scored into an empty net with 1:53 remaining to seal the Bulldogs' entry in the Broadmoor Trophy championship game Saturday.
But the 2-0 lead was more than enough for Stalock, who stopped all 31 Sioux shots for his fourth shutout of the season.
He earned it with a second-period performance that included 10 saves on nine minutes of North Dakota power play time.
"Tonight, the guys made it a little easier, blocking shots from up high," Stalock said. "They didn't get many quality chances — maybe a couple here and there. But they let me see the first shot and controlled the rebound and everybody else cleared it away from danger.
"I thought tonight we just kept it simpler and we settled down into the Xcel and played even more the style of our game."
The style of Stalock's game?
"He's got confidence in the guys in front of him," Bulldogs coach Scott Sandelin said, "and we've got a lot of confidence in him."

The Home Depot Center in Los Angeles, Ca will host the upcoming super middleweight championship bout between Andre Ward (23-0, 14 knockouts) and Arthur Abraham (32-2, 30 knockouts) on May 14th. I spoke with both Andre Ward and his promoter Dan Goossen on Thursday to confirm the venue which will not be officially announced until next week.
Los Angeles is perhaps the most logical choice for both combatants. Ward lives in Oakland, and has built a solid fan base throughout California, and Abraham, who is of Armenian descent, has a huge following in the Los Angeles area where many members of the Armenian community are located.
Dan Goossen said, "The way I look at it is, with Andre being a Californian and doing what he is doing in Oakland, it is about time to get him back out here to Southern Cal," Goossen said. "I should know exactly what is happening by no later than Wednesday. But it is looking like L.A."
Ward and Abraham are competing in the semifinal round of the Super Six World Boxing Classic presented by Showtime Championship Boxing. The undefeated Ward is the favorite to win the tourney. He is also the preferred choice to beat the once feared Abraham. The Armenian has lost two of his last three fights. On February 12th, Abraham won a tune up bout against Stjepan Bozic by second round TKO. He didn't look stellar in the abbreviated clash, which ended when Bozic couldn't continue because he hurt his hand.
Despite all of the signs pointing towards victory in his favor, Ward feels like he has plenty to prove on May 14th. He is already working out four days a week and looks forward to fighting away from his hometown for the first time since 2009.
On fighting in Los Angeles, Ward said, "I think it is good. He is going to have a large contingent of Armenian fans and I am going to have my fans. So it is going to be fun."
Ward has fought three of his last four fights in his hometown of Oakland. And the champion has dominated some stellar competition in the process, including Edison Miranda and Mikkel Kessler. Ward says that he will embrace the potentially hostile crowd he might face in Los Angeles.
"You know, I could use this. Everybody says 'Hey, Ward doesn't want to fight on the road.' But I think it is fun to fight on the road," Ward said. "You have to learn how to fight under any circumstances. He might have a lot of fans over there. It is my job to go over there and quiet them down."
The super middleweight champ said that he did not watch Abraham's fight against Bozic last weekend but he will get around to it eventually. "I did not get a chance to watch it but my coach saw the fight," Ward said.
He appears to be ready to get it on against Abraham on May 14th. Ward seems to have a chip on his shoulder, wanting to prove his worth by any means.
On being the favorite against Abraham, Ward said, "Everyone wants to give me this fight because he is coming off of two losses, but at the end of the day, he is going to fight hard. But I am trying to take my game to another level. So whether he comes in the same, or not the same, or he has more motivation to fight this time, or he is not motivated at all, I am not worried about none of that."
What does he mean by 'another level?'
"I am not satisfied with 2010. I am trying to get better in 2011. You know, I am thankful for everything that has happened to me, but there is work to be done. Everybody is talking about how bad he looked in his last big fight against Froch and he has to redeem himself. But I feel like I have to redeem myself because I was not satisfied with my last performance. I was not happy with it. So, I am trying to continue to grow. That is why I am not sitting around waiting for this date to come along. I'm working. And I am highly motivated."
Comment on this article
ward by 8th round ko or tko ref jumping in.
Wow! Andre "SOG" Ward fighting in the Home Depot Center in LA will not be close to being like in Oakland. Somebody ought to recognize. Northern California and Southern California are separated as North Dakota and South Dakota, Virginia and West Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina. In SoCal, Abraham is the home fighter and drawing card because of his ethnic population. Only boxing fans and fanfaronades know SOG, not the general public. The none Armenian general public will not come to see SOG fight at the Home Depot Center for free. This is just a long reality. NoCal fighters are popular in that local. SoCal fighters are popular in that local. Somebodee musta fo' got what happened in Detroit. If you are not a local kid. The audience may as well be hid. Few paying butts will be in those seats. And they will probably be only your in-group peeps. Holla!
AA won't show. I predict an injury and a pullout.
Ward has the right attitude... can't treat AA like a stiff,.. or he might get stiffened himself. The fight was a dissappointment because it didn't last long enough for either fighter to establish anything meaningful. The Roast is probably right about AA,.. but AA has nothing to be depressed about. He's only lost at the elite level... because his style of fighting has only one gear.
S.O.G. aint P.E.,BUT... A Nation of Armenians couldn't Hold Him Back!!!! Andre's puttin' in work in Hayward.. So the Smurf King's GamePlan is gonna go Haywire.. S.O.G. by T.K.O. in Round 10.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

I come back from the dead o.o.
So the last few months have been crazy. I moved from my home town in Oregon to Fargo, North Dakota, where I currently live and work and am 100% on my own now.
Because of the craziness I have had writer's block (if you hadn't noticed). I also was forced to get a new computer...so all my old unfinished work on my old laptop is gone.
I will be using this account from time to time to post new things, new stories, new writings.
I am currently debating on whether or not to start writing some pretty hardcore short stories to share. I know this is a free community but I am always a little frightened by how people will view me upon reading some of my more...not so innocent, vanilla stories. Perhaps a streak of boldness will one day prompt me to post stories that are for mature readers.
Anyway...I'm back. Hopefully.

User reviews on Magic to Win (Kai Xin Mo Fa)
I did not like this film and I do not recommend seeing it in the theaters. I am a fan of the director's previous work I liked "Ip Man" and even though the film was uneven it had great action. This film was a real loser in my eyes. The action in the film sucked and it was so predictable! The plotline was chaotic and pretty ridiculous and hard to follow and special effects were really not up to par. I think there were couple good ideas in this film but they were overwhelmed by everything else. Overall, I suggest staying home and spending your money on a better film than this one.

The Miami Heat took on the Los Angeles Lakers at home on Thursday night. The Heat have gone 7-5 in January. The story, however, on Thursday night wasn't Lebron James who scored 27 points against the Lakers on Thursday night.
He was outdone by big guy Chris Bosh (LeBron +4) who found open spots in the lane against the Lakers big guys.
Lebron scored his 27 points on 9-15 (2-4 3s) shooting. Along with those field goals he also played 37 minutes and shot 7-13 from the line.
The real story was that Lebron and Kobe or James and Bryant, respectively, were on the court. Well, sort of, because because Kobe's injured and will return soon. You get that though.
So what you say.
So these are the two most popular players in the National Basketball Association. Kobe Bryant has been number one for so long he, perhaps, has become bored with it.
Trivia alert: he's in his seventeenth year in the NBA.
It's not his appropriate title anymore.
Continuing that thought, so now he's not number one anymore. That Miami Heat NBA championship All-Star is now the most popular player for the first time since before LeBron escaped Cleveland for the sea breeze instead of Cleveland and the Great Lakes lake effect blizzards.
Sorry Cleveland, it's true.
In the 2008-09 season LeBron was emblazoned with the honor that Kobe seemed to have a lease on. Kobe was boosted back in 2009--after the Cavaliers parted with LeBron--way ahead of LeBron who was thought of suspiciously, though still retaining a strong core of support.
It's relative in sports--fan support is--because unlike politics they aren't spending money you didn't offer them of your own volition. Those Cleveland Cavaliers junkies found those polls and let everyone know how serious this betrayal was.
So then, Kobe is now number two in a poll taken after LeBron's and the Heat's championship run last June. It was just a matter of time until that lake effect blizzard was shoveled away.
That was ridiculous.

Probable StartersTexas Tech Lady Raiders
Head Coach: Marsha Sharp (415-129, 18th season)
TCU Horned Frogs
Head Coach: Jeff Mittle (7-4, first season)
A Look Back
Junior Katrisa O'Neal enjoyed her afternoon in Orlando. She scored a career-high 21 points, while recording five steals, to pace No. 7 Texas Tech to a 77-43 victory over Central Florida on Sunday.
O'Neal, whose previous scoring high had been 17 points, matched that feat early in the second half, scoring six consecutive points to put the Lady Raiders up 59-25.
She hit 9-of-13 from the field, as Texas Tech's lead got up to 36 on two occasions in a game UCF never led.
O'Neal's scoring spurts came primarily off a heightened defensive intensity. UCF didn't do well against the Texas Tech pressure, turning the ball over 30 times, 18 of them coming in the decisive first half.
Texas Tech also got double-digit scoring efforts from seniors Keitha Dickerson (13) and Aleah Johnson (11).
Lady Raider Head Coach Marsha Sharp
One of the most respected and well-known coaches in Texas Tech history, head coach Marsha Sharp is 415-129 in her 18th year at the helm of the Lady Raiders. The 1999 Big 12 Coach of the Year, for the second consecutive year, has led the Lady Raiders to 12 NCAA Tournament appearances, including 10 consecutive, and five NCAA Sweet 16 appearances and the NCAA National Championship in 1993. While in the SWC, coach Sharp and the Lady Raiders never finished below third, they won or shared the last five championships, and they captured three Post-Season Classic titles. Sharp claimed her 400th career victory last season in the 83-71 win at Colorado on Feb. 24, 1999.
A 1974 graduate of Wayland Baptist University, Sharp was named the National Coach of the Year in 1993 and 1994. She also reaped SWC Coach of the Year honors seven times, five consecutively.
Off to Best Start in Tech History
The Lady Raiders are off to their best start in Texas Tech women?s basketball history with an 9-0 mark with the wins at South Florida Dec. 17 and Central Florida Dec. 19. Tech?s previous best start was during the 1984-85 season when they went 7-0 before falling to Georgia, 80-68, Dec. 14, 1984.
NCAA Stats
As of games through Dec. 13, Texas Tech ranks first with 11 other schools in won-lost percentage at 1.000. Tech is also third in scoring defense (52.3) and 16th in scoring margin (18.0).
Senior Keitha Dickerson ranks 35th in rebounding with a 10.0 average.
O?Neal and Tarr Score Career Highs
Junior Katrisa O?Neal scored a career-high 21 points as she was 9-for-13 from the field and 3-for-4 from the line in the victory at Central Florida Dec. 19, while sophomore Amber Tarr had a career-high eight points as she hit three of her six attempts from the field - including two three-point baskets.
Back-to-Back Double-Doubles for Dickerson
Senior Keitha Dickerson recorded her fifth double-double of the season and her second on in two games as she scored 16 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in the Lady Raiders? 60-44 triumph at South Florida Dec. 17. She had 11 points and 13 boards against Lamar Dec. 15. Her 16 points vs. USF matched a season high set earlier against Rice Nov. 23.
Best Shooting Performance of the Season
The Lady Raiders had their best shooting performance of the season as they shot 60 percent from the field against Lamar Dec. 15. Tech connected on 33 of its 55 attempts. Tech also shot a season-high 60 percent from three-point range, going 6-for-10.
Pierson Scores 21 for Third Time
For the third time this season, freshman Plenette Pierson matched her career-high 21 points in the win over Lamar Dec. 15. She also scored 21 vs. SMU Dec. 4 and at USC Nov. 29.
Schmucker-Pharies Nails Season High
Senior Melinda Schmucker-Pharies scored a season-high 13 points in the Lady Raiders? victory over Lamar Dec. 15. All 13 of her points came in the first half, including 3-for-4 from three-point range in the first 20 minutes of action.
Johnson Gets First Double-Double
Senior Aleah Johnson picked up her first double-double of the year as she scored 14 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in the triumph at New Mexico Dec. 8.
Pierson Comes Alive in Second Half
Freshman Plenette Pierson came out on fire in the second half of the game at New Mexico Dec. 8 to score 13 points after just scoring two points in the first half. Pierson?s 15 points for the game led the Lady Raiders.
40 For Dickerson and Johnson
Senior Keitha Dickerson played all 40 minutes in the Lady Raiders? triumph over SMU Dec. 4, while senior Aleah Johnson saw 40 minutes of action in the win at New Mexico Dec. 8. It was a season first for both players.
Home Court Streak

Sellout Crowd
Texas Tech?s first game of the year and the first in the United Spirit Arena against LSU Nov. 20 was a sellout crowd of 15,050. It marked the second largest crowd for a Big 12 women?s basketball game. The largest crowd was 15, 303 when Texas hosted Louisiana Tech on March 27, 1987. It is also the third largest crowd this year in Division I basketball as of Dec. 6.
A Look Ahead
The Lady Raiders will open the Big 12 season at Iowa State Jan. 2 at noon on FOX television before heading back home to take on Santa Clara Jan. 5 at 7 p.m.

Cowardly templar den captains keep getting the better of me and escaping into hiding before I can catch up with them. Then the game tells me to "wait until tomorrow", but when is tomorrow, exactly?
How can I track the passage of time? Give or take, how long is an in-game day in real time terms? Better yet, is there a way to skip ahead to "tomorrow" without actually waiting?

Those of you into cars will likely know the name Chip Foose. He is
famous for taking a car most people would consider "just fine", and
morphing it into something flat out amazing. We call that pro
modding--and today, we will be looking at the work of another gifted
modder who also has that alchemist-like ability to transform aluminum
and acrylic
into solid gold.
Brian Carter is almost as well known in PC
modding circles as Chip Foose is to the wrench monkey crowd, though
most of you know Brian as "The Bod Man" or as "Boddaker". I am lucky
enough to have Bod as a teammate on our BoxGods crew--team / mod /
smart--and you're lucky today as well because we will be looking at his
newest build, Mystique².
was created to compete in
CoolerMasters' 2006 Modding Contest--which he won in a landslide.
Boddaker would be the first to mention that two of our other team
members locked up second and third place for the sweep, Feldm4n's
awesome Spiderman 3 mod which you can read about here, and Ton's
excellent Super Hornet, which will be covered in an article next
We are gonna start with a run through of the finished
mod and some discussion of the design goals, and then go through the
build details for those of you who have pet names for your dremel tools
like "Betsy", "Honey", and "Sweetie". You know who you are =)
If you didn't notice the multi function Logitech remote in the intro
image, Mystique² is an HTPC. What is not so obvious is that Mystique²
started out as a pair of CoolerMaster Mystique 631 aluminum tower cases
that served as both donors, and inspiration. The primary goal for this
build was to keep as much of the original Mystique's as possible, both
in looks and materials used. Think: recycling. The Mystique heritage needed to be instantly recognized at a first glance, and
then everywhere else--inside and out.
It also had
to be silent and actually perform in its role as an HTPC--not just
look great in the living room, but be quiet and reliable. As you will
see in the images that follow, he hit the bulls-eye.
Above are
images of the front of the case, where the unmistakable wave theme
begins. DVD's and CD's are a staple of the HTPC or "Media PC" so simple
access for disks is a must and, as you can see, no need to open the
front doors to toss in a movie. No optical drive trays either, even
with the doors open--thanks to a lot of care in placing the slot loading
As HTPC's take over our media-centric living rooms, they must handle
an ever increasing onslaught of digitial mediums. The first image above
shows a clever docking station for an iPod, making transfers between
devices a snap.
In the next image, we again see the DVD/CD slots and also the media card reader slots for memory sticks, etc. We get
a nice shot of the well placed power and reset buttons, some killer
hinge work, and well disguised front air intakes--proper cooling is
extremely important for a stable HTPC.
The last image shows the
front I/O ports for USB devices, (very handy for throwing a keyboard on
to tweak settings and do system maintainance, as well as plugging in
head phones or grabbing drivers off a thumb drive. If there is some
form of connectivity missing from the front of Mystique², I can't think
of it.

A variety of summer trout fishing opportunities in New Jersey await anglers. Many streams and a handful of lakes that were stocked during the spring continue to harbor trout throughout the summer. The springtime crowds of anglers have disappeared and early morning and evening outings to these waters can be very productive and enjoyable.
Conservation Areas (TCAs)
The S/Br. Raritan River, as it carves its way through the breathtaking Ken Lockwood Gorge, creates a boulder and rock-strewn paradise for trout and the aquatic insects they feast upon, such as caddis, mayflies, and stoneflies. The gravel road which parallels this amazing 2-mile stretch of river can be easily reached by taking Hoffmans Crossing Road, off of Rt. 513, near the town of Califon.
A scenic 1.2-mile section of the Pequannock River, from the Rt. 23 bridge at Smoke Rise downstream to the Rt. 23 bridge at Smith Mills, is another angler favorite. Wild brown trout and stocked trout lurk among the large boulders that punctuate this stretch. Take Rt. 23 north from I-287 (Exit 52), to access this TCA. Anglers venturing beyond the limits of the TCA will also find productive trout fishing areas. Upstream, above Charlottesburg Reservoir, there is a section regulated as a Wild Trout Stream (daily permit required from NWCDC). Further downstream, a local park in Riverdale along the Paterson-Hamburg Turnpike offers excellent trout fishing in a suburban environment.
Fly Fishing Only Water
Many sections of this public waterway can be readily accessed by taking gravel side roads that intersect and parallel Rt. 615 (Walpack-Flatbrook Road) off of Rt. 206. More adventurous anglers can investigate the small tributaries trickling down the surrounding mountains into the Big Flatbrook which harbor populations of beautiful wild trout, primarily the colorful brookie, New Jersey's native trout species and official State Fish.
Wild brook and rainbow trout are regularly caught in the vicinity of the Millbrook historical village and wary brown trout are common in the lower reaches where the brook empties into the Delaware River. Dunnfield Creek has both brook and brown trout, and if you fish the lower section don't be surprised if you encounter an occasional wild tiger trout, the hybrid offspring produced when brook and brown trout successfully mate.
& Holdover Trout Lakes
Lake Aeroflex and Lake Wawayanda consistently produced big browns in the past and are a good bet yet today. So are Round Valley and Merrill Creek Reservoirs, where anglers can also catch lake trout. The state records for brown, rainbow and lake trout come from Round Valley and even beginner anglers have caught some lunker trout in these waters. All of these waters allow only electric motors, except for Round Valley Reservoir where an outboard up to 10 hp is allowed.
Though the trout fishing rituals of spring are but a fond memory, anglers can continue to enjoy trout fishing during the summer months.

World Cup: US can advance with win over Portugal
MANAUS, Brazil — Moths and mosquitoes circled when the United States took the field for practice Saturday evening at Arena da Amazonia, a 40,000-seat stadium built in a remote area of the rainforest where the Rio Negro meets the Amazon.
And as the Americans stretched in the heat and humidity in their final training session before Sunday's World Cup game against Portugal, a double rainbow shimmered — said by some to herald an occurrence with great meaning.
With a win over the Portuguese and reigning world player of the year Cristiano Ronaldo, the U.S. would accomplish a pair of American firsts: reaching the knockout stage of consecutive World Cups and advancing with a game to spare.
"This is now the moment where you can prove yourself. This is the moment where you can step up and play those guys and put them in place," U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "So we want to put Cristiano and his team in his place."
The Americans opened with a 2-1 win over Ghana on Monday behind John Brooks' 86th-minute goal, while Portugal dropped an embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Germany. When Ghana and Germany tied 2-2 on Saturday, the U.S. was suddenly in position to clinch advancement with a win Sunday.
"That's a good result for us, to know that if we can win, we take care of business, the rest is history," goalkeeper Tim Howard said.
A victory over the fourth-ranked Portuguese would mean the U.S. could then win the group with a tie against Germany next week. Klinsmann, a former star striker and coach for Germany, was so excited to watch the end of Saturday's game that he ran out of his own news conference after about five minutes, took in the final moments, then returned to answer more questions.
"It just confirms what we all knew from the beginning on, that it's a very, very difficult group," he said. "It's a huge opportunity tomorrow here in Manaus, and we will definitely go for it."
The Americans needed a shot in the arm for this match — up to five inoculations per player, to be precise, for protection against typhoid, yellow fever, tetanus, hepatitis A and influenza after they started training last month in California. Players also were offered medication to prevent malaria, the mosquito-borne infectious disease, but all 23 declined.
"It's a World Cup," Chris Wondolowski said. "It doesn't matter what's going into your body or how hot it will be."
FORTALEZA, Brazil — Miroslav Klose rescued a point for Germany, and tied the World Cup scoring record in the process.
Germany was held to a draw by Ghana on Saturday, needing Klose's equalizer in the 71st minute to avoid another second-game letdown that has plagued the team in recent tournaments.
Klose now has 15 World Cup goals in four tournaments, equaling the mark set by former Brazil star Ronaldo. He celebrated the goal with his trademark summersault.
"It was complete, but I can't remember the last time I did it," said Klose, who scored less than two minutes after entering the game as a substitute. "Still, 15 goals in 20 matches, that's not bad."
Mario Goetze had put Germany ahead in the 51st, but Ghana equalized three minutes later through Andre Ayew.
Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan then put the Africans ahead in the 63rd, only to see Klose cancel out his goal.
BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil — Lionel Messi finally found a way through Iran's defensive wall with a superb goal in stoppage time to give Argentina a narrow victory and a place in the World Cup knockout stages.
Iran had defended solidly throughout the game and also took the match to Argentina in the second half, creating several chances to win the Group F match and cause a tournament sensation.
But Iran was punished for those missed chances when Messi collected the ball about 20 yards (meters) out and curled a shot into the left hand corner.
CUIABA, Brazil — Peter Odemwingie's first-half goal sealed Nigeria's first victory in a World Cup match since 1998 and eliminated tournament newcomer Bosnia-Herzegovina from contention.
Odemwingie finished from close range in the 29th minute after one of a string of powerful runs by fellow striker Emmanuel Emenike.
Bosnia faded after a bright start, during which star striker Edin Dzeko had a goal contentiously disallowed for offside, and is still without a point in Group F following a 2-1 defeat to Argentina in its opener.

I'm practicing yoga again. I found a studio I really like with a free one-week introductory period. Score.
I don't know if it's the yoga or the reset button, but I've been in a great place mentally. I think I've officially let go of a lot of the things I know I can't control. I don't even want to control them right now.
Today, my yoga teacher asked us to pick a word for a the intention of our practice. For someone who really likes words, this can be a challenge. A ton of words ran through my head, but I clung to the word "faith". I went with it and as I sat there askew in revolved triangle, I returned to this word. As I found myself doing poses I never knew I could do, not even worrying if I could do it before trying them out, I returned to this word. It's been weird finding so much meaning in something that presents itself at face value.
I did a lot of thinking about why I chose faith and why I have been having such a great practice lately. What it is really, I think there's a sweet spot when it comes to your locus of control.
Too much internal locus, and you often feel like the world is heavy on your shoulders and it's your responsibility to solve every problem, find a reason for every mistake, and usually it all comes back to believing it's your fault.
Too much of an external locus of control, and you end up feeling like a victim, like you have no control, like everything is falling through your grasp like you're trying grip onto water. You usually feel defeated, broken, and angry with the world.
The sweet spot, which I think I realized today, is having faith. It's trying your hardest to succeed at whatever it is that is before you. It's working your fanny off to have the career you want, the relationship you want, the friends you want, and the life you've dreamed of forever. But faith… faith is recognizing that sometimes things are just out of your control and it's beautiful anyway. You have faith that good things will happen to you and you believe the bad things are good things in disguise.
You could, however, look at the unknown and mysterious as bad. You could label things that happen to you as bad, unpleasant, or set-backs. Unfortunately, they are going to happen anyway because that's life. Life has some certainties and a lot of uncertainties. It's your choice about how you view both of them. Will the certainties feel cumbersome or will they be a fun challenge? Will the uncertainties cause us fear, or will they be welcomed with optimism?
It's faith. I believe that good things will happen to me because worrying that bad things will happen causes a lot of undue stress in the meantime. If something "bad" happens… oh well. At least I didn't stress myself about it up until when it happened.

Experts are urging people with diabetes who also take an arthritis drug, or who require dialysis, to double check the blood glucose meter that they're using.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says some medications and kidney dialysis solutions can dangerously interfere with a certain kind of blood sugar meter, an interaction that can lead to coma and even death.
Testing strips that use the technology known as GDH-PQQ, which stands for glucose dehydrogenase pyrroloquinoline quinone, will react to certain non-glucose sugars, including maltose, galactose and xylose, and produce a falsely high blood sugar reading.
If a person with diabetes then takes more insulin to get the falsely high blood sugar down, it could lead to abnormally low blood sugar, known as hypoglycemia, coma or even death.
That can be a problem for people who get regular infusions of abatacept (Orencia), which contains a non-glucose sugar as an inactive ingredient.
People who need regular peritoneal dialysis treatments are also at risk because dialysis solution contains a non-glucose sugar.
Despite repeated warnings about this interaction, the agency said in 2009 that serious adverse events with these kinds of meters continue.
"We haven't seen a decrease in the rate of deaths, even after all the notifications we've done over the years. So we felt like we needed to escalate the message a bit," says Courtney Harper, PhD, the acting director of division of chemistry and toxicology devices at the FDA in White Oak, MD.
Since 1997, the FDA has received 13 reports of death associated with GDH-PQQ glucose test strips – eight of those deaths have been in the last year.
All of the deaths occurred in health-care facilities, and in each, there was interference from maltose or other non-glucose sugars. In some cases patients had serious injury before dying – like hypoglycemia, confusion, brain damage and coma.
"The people who use the drug at home often already know about this issue," Harper says. "But if one of them is hospitalized and hospital staff isn't aware they are using these drugs, they may use the hospital meters and that's where the deaths have occurred," she adds.
The FDA says there's an additional danger if a person's blood glucose is actually low because it could go unrecognized and untreated since the test result could read higher than it actually is and appear to be in the normal range.
Symptoms of low blood sugar include confusion, hunger, dizziness or tunnel or darkened vision.
"If your test results do not reflect the way you feel, be aware and call your health-care provider," Harper says.
Several companies, including Roche Holding AG, Abbott Laboratories and Home Diagnostics Inc., manufacture the glucose test strips in question.
Harper says the FDA is working with manufacturers to resolve the problems and understand how widespread they are.

Domain Tasters a Headache for WIPO
The World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), who oversee many domain name disputes, argue that the fairness of the domain name system (DNS) is being undermined by the practice of "domain tasting", which turns domain names into commodities for speculative gain. Last year WIPO saw a 25% increase in Domain Name disputes over the previous year, in which trademark owners fought those who had registered domain names which they claimed they were entitled to.
Domain tasting involves the registration of domains and the cancellation of the Domain Registration within 5 days; registrants of .com, .net, .org, .biz and various other TLD addresses names pay nothing if they cancel within 5 days of the original registration. This grace period was introduced to allow people to correct spelling errors, but in practice it gives potential domain buyers the opportunity to test the type-in traffic to a particular address before buying it. Some dealers even wrote software to perform the whole process, including purchase, testing and cancellation, automatically.
When conducted on a large scale, the profits made can be significant. A small fee deducted from refunds has been suggested to control the practice. An offshoot of domain tasting is "domain kiting", in which the user cancels and re-registers a domain name just before the end of the five day period of grace, so that long-term ownership of a name can be maintained without incurring any cost.
WIPO argues that bulk automated purchase of domains, without adequate background checks to avoid appropriating registered trademarks, could represent "wilful blindness" and qualify as an act of bad faith on the part of the purchaser. A WIPO panel said that "This is an example of how the application of the UDRP decision criteria must accommodate changing circumstances and new developments."

JG Dumplings (revisited)
Steamed prawn and chicken dumplings (10 for $8.00). They were no different to the ones they serve at Bob's Kitchen, a few shops down but they were fine enough.
The surprise pick of the lot: Shanghai noodles ($8.00). I say surprise because I haven't had one decent serve of Shanghai noodles for a very long time. In fact, the best one I've had is at Shanghai Gourmet in Springvale which is a tad too far for me to drive to if all I want is fried noodles (and when I end up in Springvale, I almost HAVE to have Vietnamese anyway…). As of late, the noodles I've had at other places were either too greasy, not tasty enough, the noodles too thin (some even use Hokkien (!!) or a case of too much cabbage and not enough pork. Enter JG's version and you have a hot plate of thick noodles (the way they should be), the right ratio of vegies and pork and zomg, plenty of mushrooms and flavour. It's a tad on the greasy side but seriously, LOVE!
6 Comments on JG Dumplings (revisited)
JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!1Service = weird to nice.Food = bad for you but tastes great!Gotta love JG, even though some of the staff walk around as if they are half asleep/angry hahahahaha.Reply
*GASP*! did you intentionally get on to the denim jacket trend? lol niceeeeeeeeeeeReply
@gns_moments – Is it really a trend or are you just being sarcastic? lol, I've had that one for YEARS and just decided to wear it for the night just because I was sick of black…Reply
I agree that the shanghai noodles at JG was probably one of the best I've tasted in Melbourne. Hmmmm dumpling craving at midnight is NOT cool!Reply
heheh i get a mentionand an appearance:DReply

Auditing Social Media Part 1 - How to Eat an Elephant
Auditing social media can be likened to trying to eat an elephant, because it's big, risky, easy to get spooked and sometimes it can trample you just when you think you have it under control. Auditors face a challenge just in not being overwhelmed. In this first blog post of a series of three I show how to get the social media elephant under control as the first step in not getting trampled under foot. The secret - ensuring that social starts with sound strategy.
- See Part 2 here - the Governance Framework
- Part 3 is the 6 Step Social Media Audit Program - for Internal Auditors
You know the story of the 6 auditors, blindfolded and feeling their around the social media elephant and describing it:They began to argue about the elephant and everyone of them insisted that he was right. It looked like they were getting agitated. A wise man was passing by and he saw this. He stopped and asked them, "What is the matter?" They said, "We cannot agree to what the elephant is like." Each one of them told what he thought the elephant was like. The wise man calmly explained to them, "All of you are right. The reason every one of you is telling it differently because each one of you touched the different part of the elephant. So, actually the elephant has all those features what you all said".
Here is a potential social media disaster scenario
To understand why strategy is important, let's take a hypothetical case of content which could appear in social media.
When you think about it you can see that the implications of these messages go right across an organisation. It's not just a "social media" issues, nor a marketing issue. It's not just a brand reputation or PR issue. The response to this requires coordination and clarification across all those mentioned plus purchasing, retail store ;management, customer experience, supplier relations, government relations, regulators, logistics and HR / training.
We're talking about cross-functional coordination, about an effective escalation and response process, and about a coherent and aligned response which reflects the strategic elements of the current business plan across many parts of the organisation.
Coherent social media strategy essential for effective social media auditing
Clearly none of those actions can be taken unless there is an alignment and a clear coordinated plan to act in social, which requires that a social media strategy have been developed which links to various line-of-business and functional strategies.
What's that I hear you say? "We already have an effective Social Media Policy".
A Social Media Policy is not Social Media Governance
I'm glad to hear that, but as Auditors know, a Policy does not governance make! Just as Safety Rules do not make Safety Governance, a Social Media Policy does not make Social Media Governance. A Social Media Policy is important. It is an important component of governance. But is a only one component.
When social media has been mainly the responsibility of one department, say Marketing, then only rarely is it guided by an effective cross-functional strategy. For individuals in a single department it is often hard to see how to fully develop an effective strategy - mostly the activities are just that, tactical activities within a narrow framework. That leaves gaps which can make organisations vulnerable. The social media elephant can veer in an unexpected direction, and with terrifying momentum.
Good news - an effective methodology for social media strategy development
In our own 8-Phase Social Media Strategy methodology we systematically work with all stakeholders as we progress though the process. Of particular relevance to auditors is Phase 4 Protect, and Phase 8 Monitor. You need to ensure that fit-for-purpose protections are in place, which include the Social Media Policy, and staff training, and you also need to ensure that effective monitoring of social media is taking place.
Notice that the Social Media Policy is just one aspect of this process - within Phase 4. All the other Phases have a series of actions and outputs that are part of the total strategy development process.
Auditor's Alert!: if your organisation does not have a systematic, complete, cross-functional approach to developing social media strategy then you are facing exposures which may be both surprising and unacceptable.
A social media risk management program requires cross-functional input
We've talked about the cross-functional nature of social media strategy and governance, and therefore we cannot emphasise enough that a properly constructed social media strategy and governance process requires cross-functional input.
As an auditor, if you do not see that cross-functional input then alarm bells should start ringing. Start thinking about how you handle a cross-functional social media crisis and you will quickly start to identify the risks to your organisation.
Questions to ask in setting out to audit social mediaThese are your most important opening assessment questions:
- Do we have in place a social media Strategy which is a real strategy, not a series of tactics?
- Has the Strategy used a formal development process, which has effective risk mitigation steps?
- Were multiple stakeholders and disciplines consulted or engaged during the Strategy development?
- By what process is the Strategy maintained and reviewed?
Social media without a strategy is like investing in the recommendations of one blind man who has felt one part of the elephant, without knowing what the beast is - from an auditor's perspective that is a very risky business decision.
Summary Part 1 of auditing social media
Not having a proper Social Media Strategy exposes your organisation to potentially unacceptable exposures not just in marketing or PR but across the whole dimension of stakeholder relationships. When an Auditor hears this "Our strategy is to use .... (Facebook / Twitter / Pinterest / etc)" then that should start alarm bells ringing. Those platforms are merely tools, not a strategy. That type of conversation is a sure clue that no real social media strategy exists, and hence no effective social media governance.
If you get drawn into discussions about platforms - Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter etc - then you are in the noise, and you are trying to eat an elephant by starting with his tusks. That's probably going to end up with you impaled and then trampled under foot.
In Part 2 we'll present a Governance Framework for social media, which Auditors can use to plan the task of effective social media auditing. Part 3 outlines a 6 step social media audit approach.

Photo Location risk and some good news.
6 Comments · Posted by Lance Cottrell in GeoLocation, Location, Personal Privacy, Physical Security, Tracking
Last week I did an interview on a San Diego news program about issues with many cameras and smart phones in particular embedding very accurate location information in your pictures. If your camera (smart phone or whatever) has GPS, then the EXIF meta data in the picture will contain your location to within about 20 feet. This can be disabled, but is typically on by default.
While this can be useful when you are trying to sort and organize the pictures on your computer, the risk shows up when you start to share the pictures. By combining date and time information in the pictures I can tell if they are recent. If you are on vacation and posting on the road, an attacker can tell that you are away from home and your home probably unguarded. Pictures of your home and family can provide the exact location of your house as well.
The good news is that major sites for sharing pictures like Facebook and Flickr seem to strip out that information from the photos. It is unclear if that is intentional or just a byproduct of how they are processing and displaying the images. In any case, the data is certainly available to the sites themselves.
I strongly encourage everyone to download an EXIF editor to be able to strip this information from pictures before uploading, and to turn off location tracking in their cameras and mobile phone photo applications to prevent the capture of that information in the first place.

Amazing power and danger of data retention
1 Comment · Posted by Lance Cottrell in cellular, GeoLocation, International, Location, Personal Privacy, Surveillance, Tracking
This Blog has an interesting article and link to the website of a german newspaper article (translated here).
The story is about a german politician Malte Spitz who sued to obtain the retained cell tower records for his own phone, then provided them to the newspaper. The newspaper has created a nice map and timeline tool to allow you to play Spitz's movements over 6 months. The resolution is impressive and should be a real wake up call about the level of detailed information being gathered on us all.
Of course, if the phone company was capturing GPS or WiFi based location information the data would be much more accurate. While GPS would quickly drain the battery, many modern phones have WiFi enabled all the time, so that information would be readily available without any additional impact on the phone's performance.

Facebook Introduces "Places" location services
2 Comments · Posted by Lance Cottrell in GeoLocation, Personal Privacy, Social Engineering
There has been a lot of excitement in the privacy community around the introduction of a social location service by Facebook. Having blown the dust off my test account, I don't really understand all the fuss.
It appears that this capability only applies to mobile devices right now (although I have blogged in the past about the ability to locate your computer). When using the mobile site, or the FaceBook app, there is a button that allows you to "Check In" at your current location. It appears that this is exclusively an overt act, and that nothing is taking place passively in the background.
The privacy defaults (at least for me) were fairly restrictive. My check-in is only shared with "friends" by default. The only really interesting setting was that it defaults to show your location to others who are checked-in at the same location around the same time, but that was easily changed.
The FAQ talks about and links to the privacy settings in a prominent way. It feels strange to say this, but I don't think they have done a bad thing here. Obviously there are major privacy and security implications to telling people where you are all the time, and it may lead to stalking and/or home robberies, but you really have to ask them to do it to you. Caveat emptor.
Of course, none of this should suggest that I have any intention of ever using the service myself.
I note that most of the other social location players, like Gowalla, Yelp, Booyah and Foursquare were at the announcement. This could certainly impact them in a big way, either for good or ill. That seems like the real story, and my thoughts on that are well out of scope for this blog.

Hack Exploits Google Street View to Find Victims – The New New Internet

Hack Exploits Google Street View to Find Victims – The New New Internet
This very short article describes a really simple attack that enables someone to discover your physical location with a very high degree of reliability and accuracy.
It involves using JavaScript to access the MAC address of your WiFi wireless access point (base station). The examples for this I have seen are IE specific. Any malware that has gotten itself installed on your computer could also do this.
Given that information, it is easy to pass this information to a Location Services API which returns a location good to a few hundred feet, sometimes much closer. Here is a website that does this for you.

Google president opposes anonymity.
No comments · Posted by Lance Cottrell in Anonymity, GeoLocation, Internet, Online Privacy, Personal Privacy, Surveillance
In an interesting CNET article Google CEO Schmidt talks about how new technologies are going to impact society. One of his comments really struck me. Schmidt said that the only way to handle the new technologies is "much greater transparency and no anonymity."
I have not seen the arguments and evidence behind such a bold claim. I would have argued exactly the opposite. We need MORE anonymity for users and more transparency and accountability from data collectors like Google.

i am having problem in this proof. i need to find the certain coefficients of this statement on the right side.
$P: \mathbb{C} \Longrightarrow \mathbb{C}, \quad P(x) := 12 − 7x + x^2$
$Q : \mathbb{C} \Longrightarrow \mathbb{C}, \quad Q(x) := 30 + 22x + 10x^2 + 2x^3$
i need to find the coefficients of $c_i$ für $0 \leq i \leq 10$, so that $(P + Q)(x) = \sum_{i=0}^{10}c_i(x-2)^i$.
what i did is: i added $P+Q$ which gave me $2x^3+11x^2+15x+42$ and now i am trying to find a combination of coefficients for $c_i(x-2)^i$ so that if i sum them, it should be equal to $P+Q$. but it seems very tedious, because i need to test for all numbers and sum them. is there any other lighter way for this?
thanks a lot

Gil Evans with RMS: Little Wing
Little Wing
Gil Evans with RMS
Take Me To The Sun (Last Chance Music LCM 002)
Gil Evans (keyboards), Mark Isham (trumpet, synthesizer),
Henry Lowther (trumpet), Ronnie Asprey (alto sax), Malcolm Griffiths (trombone), Ray Russell (guitar), Mo Foster (bass), Simon Phillips (drums).
Composed by Jimi Hendrix.
Recorded: Montreux, Switzerland, July 1983
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
After gaining recognition with bandleader Claude Thornhill, arranger Gil Evans worked with Miles Davis, Charlie Parker and other jazz icons. His orchestral prowess and open-mindedness made him a prime mover in "the birth of the cool." Evans's career didn't begin or end with those associations or that genre, however. He also made important contributions to the modern and jazz-rock idioms. In 1983 he was invited by the fusion trio RMS to perform with them at the Montreux Jazz Festival.
Years earlier, Evans had scheduled a meeting with Jimi Hendrix to discuss the possibility of the guitarist fronting a big band that would play Gil's arrangements of Jimi's compositions. Hendrix died before that meeting could take place, but Evans never let go of the idea. From then on, he played at least one Hendrix tune in most of his performances.
"Little Wing" is a blues ballad arrangement of Hendrix's classic. Gone are the guitar power chords that Hendrix, and everyone else, used to introduce the piece. Instead, Evans plays a mellow electric piano as drummer Phillips adds some flourishes. Russell's whining guitar and Isham's echo-plexed (or some such effected) trumpet play the beautiful melody. The tune is stretched out into full-blown blues mode for an extended and impressive Russell solo. The arrangement allows Foster's bass to expound as well. The horns dominate a dramatic coda to bring this satisfying performance to an end.
How that big band with Hendrix would have sounded, we will never know. But this music gives us a pretty damned good idea! (Although I do think Jimi would have asked to keep those opening power chords in. :-)

Michelle Singletary is the author of The Power to Prosper. In her book she discusses the 'Debt Dash' as a method to eliminate credit card debt. Singletary was contacted by a couple in California to ask her advice and keep them motivated on their plan to eliminate their debt. The couple from California is looking to pay down $49,000 on three credit cards.
The key to the Debt Dash is to attack the debt with the lowest balance first. This serves as a motivator to keep working and not abandon the plan. It is a psychological boost to eliminate debt. If you have two debts of about the same amount, pay off the one with higher interest first. Also, be sure to let your creditor know that your extra payments are to go towards your principal and should not be counted as an extra payment. Debt reduction can be difficult, but setting a plan is essential to staying on track.

Emma Claire born 5/4/11
I no how you feel, but Im a stay at home mom/wife... I get way over tired cause my son wakes up every 1-2-3 hrs at night and stays up a few good hrs during the day so I can't nap as much like I want. I do everything at night and let DH sleep cause he works. I only get 1-3 hrs asleep every night and thats not enough. Im so tired during the day, I want to start losing weight but that might have to wait for a bit till he sleeps a bit more at night and lets me too. I have a preemie and the NICU told me to put my baby down in a safe place and walk away and let him cry. I did that the 1st time yesterday, He was very gasy over tired and won't stop cryin so I put him down and took a shower and did some laundry. He then fell asleep when I came in the room. I do feel really bad that I do say shut up to him those 1 hr sleep nights cause I can't take the loud cries and not to wake his daddy up (I can get moody when I don't sleep barly at all). but he should no I would die to pertect him and I love him so much and happy hes in my life.. Im going to try the Gripe water see how that goes... And I do have my son shower w/ daddy almost every night and put that night time lotion on him it helps a bit. I also once awhile do the skin to skin, I need to do that again do that later today its been 2 1/2 weeks when I did that last.

2. 31.2 Weeker due 2 Pre-e &BP 3lbs 4oz 1 Month stay at the NICU. Jacob 5/21/11
first of all, i would like to thank all you ladies for being supportive and not hashing me for saying i get frustrated :) so thank you ladies, you all are super great.
I did put her down at the foot of the bed and just had to let her scream, but that didn't calm her down. it made her more upset. i tried holding her tight because sometime the snuggling works, but then because i was so angry i was afraid i would squeeze her to tight, she's only 6 weeks old. i also tried rocking her in her newborn rocker chair but then i was afraid i was rocking to fast/hard because of my anger. my husband is zero help, in fact i tell him i feel like a single mom doing it all.. he acutally snored through the whole thing! stupid husband. i don't know if this is anger issues or ppd or if i suck at being a mom. to whole ordeal has left me super mad and i can't focus at work. i just feel bad for my neighbors (i live in a townhouse). grrr.. tonight will be better. it has to be better or else i don't know what i'll do.
check out my feedback :)
1st... take a break!!! 2nd... try swaddling. VERY tightly.. 3rd... take a shower.. WITH LO. 4. try gripe water... she may have a tummy ache. worked pretty well for my son, and he has horrible colic... 5. ask your nanny how often/long LO sleeps during the day & how long she is awake for. my son sleeps 2 or 3 hours and is up for 1 or 2 all day long, and after about 10pm, hes OUT untill 6 or 7. even 8 sometimes. you have to experiment to find out what lil girl likes and what makes her comfortable...
the best advice I EVER got from someone when my son wsa SCREAMING and I was all by myself with him was to not get angry... because babies need to feel safe in order to be happy... and how safe do they feel if you're angry or unstable??
i tried everything possible with my son ( all at once, lol) and i found that a bath and then swaddling him worked wonders. he fights being swaddled, but as soon as hes wrapped up tight like a little caterpillar... hes quiet as can be and just slowly dozes off to sleep. he also will NOT sleep on his back... so he sleeps on his belly. i check on him frequently.
i just got a call from the nanny saying she's been screaming since she woke up. this baby wants to eat every hour! 5 ozs every hour at nearly 7 weeks old doesn't make since to me
check out my feedback :)
your last post about 5oz every hour makes me think that something may be wrong, because that is not right. I would make an appt. to take your LO to the doctors and see what they say. Good luck.
She may be going through a growth spurt right now. 6-7 weeks is about the time they do that. When my LO went through her spurt, she was drinking about 4oz every 1 1/2 hours.
Also, have you tried switching her formula? What kind is she on? My LO was having a lot of trouble with gas, so we switched her the Enfamil GentleEase. It seems to be helping some.
I can completely relate to your feelings. My ODD had colic and cried 11 hours a day. It would start at about 1pm every day and she wouldn't stop until about 11pm-12am. I tried everything, swaddling, rocking, changing her bottle,burping, singing, the swing, etc. I even used to wear her and dance around the house. Nothing worked. Every night at dinner time I would have to put her up in her room and let her cry so we could eat. I would get so angry and frustrated with her because of the crying. Then I would feel so guilty for getting angry and frustrated. It was so bad that I swore I would never have anymore kids.Obviously we got through it and I even went on to have more kids.
I know it is super hard now, but try to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It will get better. You DO NOT suck at being a mom. You are doing all you can to soothe her. Take a break when you need to. Let her cry. Also WAKE your dh up. You need some help from him. It is his baby too. (((hugs)))
Loving Wife & Momma Hen to my chicklets! DS10yo, DD8yo, DD6yo, DD4yo, DS 2yo(NUCB), DD 11-23-15(NUCB) 5 ^i^ in Jesus' arms, always in my heart.
{{{HUGS}}} I hope you got some rest and that she finally calmed down. DD2 was like that...unconsolable at night and the worst thoughts would go through my head, as I was holding this screaming child, bouncing in the middle of the night just to get her to settle down. Like PPs have said, the best and safest thing you can do is put LO down and walk away. Nothing bad can happen to her if she is just screaming alone. I like the advice of getting in the shower and just taking 5 minutes to yourself to readjust.
The only way DD2 would sleep was if she was inclined/sitting up. I can't tell you how many weeks she slept in her carseat b/c it was the right position for her.
Again, {{{HUGS!!!}}}

Adoptions in New Jersey can be done through the Division of Youth and Family Services, specifically the Division of Foster and Adoptive Family Services (FAFS) or an approved adoption agency.
Children who are placed for adoption through the state of New Jersey have experience abuse and neglect. Some of these children are part of sibling groups who want to be place together, children of minority heritage, are older, or have disabilities.
Potential adoptive families can inquire about adoption of specific children through their online web site. All families will be required to attend an orientation meeting, where they will receive an adoption application. Those families, who still desire to adoption, after the orientation meeting, will need to fill out the application and submit it to FAFS.
When FAFS receives the application, then they will arrange for a Home Finder to contact the adoptive parents to arrange a date and time for the first home study interview. The home study will require the family to attend pre-service training, submit references, get a criminal history check done on every adult member eighteen years and older, and comply with other additional requirements.
Families who are approved to adoption a child will receive an approval letter upon completion of the home study. The family is then ready to learn about the availability of a specific child and accept a referral.
Those who want to adopt newborn babies or younger children can seek the help of an approved agency. These agencies work with birth parents that choose adoption for their children. They also work with orphanages and attorneys in other countries, to facilitate International Adoptions.
It's important to remember that there are children all over the world who need homes. Your child may be found in a different state or even a different country.
View profiles of hopeful adoptive parents or create your own adoption profile today on ParentProfiles.com (A service of Adoption Profiles, LLC).

Public Voting for Oracle OpenWorld 2009 Sessions Is Now Open
Public voting for sessions opened recently on Oracle Mix. You can go there now to vote on the sessions you want to see added to the Oracle OpenWorld agenda.
We tried something similar at last year's show, and it was a huge success. This year, our content team wanted to ensure that their favorite proposals made it in. After you—our customers, partners, and developers—answered the Call for Papers, they evaluated every single submission, picked their favorites for inclusion, and then put another batch up for public voting. Now you get to choose who gets invited to present.
To get started, go to the session voting page on Oracle Mix. Then, look through the submissions sorted by streams, tracks, title, top vote-getters, or a random selection, and start voting for the ones you want to see in the show. Remember, only registered Oracle Mix members can vote. If you're not a member yet, sign up now. Then, vote for your favorites.
If your submission is in the running, let everyone in your network know by using the "Share this" section of your paper's voting page. We want to make sure the best content gets in; the more votes we get, the better the conference will be.
We set up an FAQ about the entire process if you have questions. Since this is only the second time we've done something like this for Oracle OpenWorld, we're looking for your feedback about where we can make improvements. Leave your thoughts here in the comments, or start a discussion on Oracle Mix—after you vote, of course.

This stunning BRAND NEW, NEVER WORN gown from Exclusive Bridals by Allure features a sweetheart neckline that is edged with embroidery and beading. An elegant black sash with a flower accentuates the natural waistline, while a chapel length train completes this style.
I ordered this dress in the spring of 2012 (right before they discontinued production of it), before deciding to elope. I picked it up from the bridal store (Doreen Leaf Designs in Hartville, OH) and have been struggling to part with it, even though I know I will never get to wear it. It is the perfect dress if you're looking for one that is figure-flattering and a bit unique.
Some of the little details that attracted me to it are the intricate beading on the neckline that continues around to the back, the trumpet skirt (which is not quite as dramatic as the mermaid style), and the zipper back that is hidden by faux buttons that continue all the way down the train.
This dress has never been worn or altered.
It fits me perfectly with the measurements I have listed below:
Bust: 33
Waist: 25
Hips: 35
All that I had planned to do was to have the train bustled and get it professionally steamed — both of which would not cost too much at all.
I am 5'7″ and found that the dress would not have to be hemmed if I wore 2.5″ or 3″ heels.
While I paid approximately $900.00 for the dress, I've decided to set the price very low so that someone will be able to afford it who isn't able to spend the money on a dress from a bridal shop. Please contact me if you'd like additional pictures or if you have any questions at all. I truly hope to find someone that will love this dress as much as I do!
- Alterations: This dress has never been worn or altered.
- Preservation Method: Stored in garment bag since picked up from bridal shop.
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner:
- Has Original Receipt:
- Location: Streetsboro, OH
- Will Ship to: Other
- Payment Methods Accepted: Other
Please read our BUYER'S GUIDE before purchasing a dress online.

Geoff Keighley has further hinted at some of the reveals from Electronic Arts, the publisher behind the tentatively-titled "Mass Effect 4," "Star Wars Battlefront" and other games. According to a report from Gaming Bolt on May 19, the Spike TV host confirmed that the "EA World Premiere at E3" event will be shown live on the television channel next month on June 9. He also reiterated that six "new game reveals" will be shown off during the one hour press conference.
One the titles should end up being the next installment of the "Star Wars Battlefront" series. At E3 2013, Electronic Arts announced that Digital Illusions CE, the studio behind "Battlefield 4," will be developing the long-awaited potential sequel. The publisher was awarded the rights to release "Star Wars" games early last year. The other "Star Wars" project that has been confirmed so far is a project lead by Amy Henning, the creative director behind the "Uncharted" series, at Visceral Games.
Bioware is also expected to work on another game based on the popular film series. However, the company is currently busy with two projects. One of which is the aforementioned "Mass Effect 4," which has been in development since late 2012. It could be ready to be shown off during the "EA World Premiere at E3" conference. The publisher already confirmed that another Bioware-developed title, "Dragon Age Inquisition," should be featured in the media briefing.
According to Video Gamer, the other major reveal could be a new game in "Battlefield" series. The aforesaid Visceral Games studio is the rumored developer with Ghost Games UK assisting in the production of the first-person shooter. The spin-off title should focus on the police and will be made available later this fall.
The launch window for "Star Wars Battlefront" is expected to be some time in between the second and third quarters of next year. Although "Mass Effect 4" has no release date time frame, it is speculated to arrive in late 2015. A screen showing the third installment of the role-playing series from the official "Mass Effect" Facebook website can be seen on top of this article.

I am trying to make a robot that can move around with bluetooth. The bluetooth part works fine, but the main problem is how to callibrated the robot for good movement.
The robot rotates almost perfect (maybe a half degree every 360 degrees off), but the distance that he travels is not the same everytime. So the 2 main questions are :
1. How to callulate the _wheeldiameter? (56mm on the tires seems abit off)
2. If the robot stops, it makes a little click (not like the clicking sound) and moves a bit forward. Is there away to make it stop smooth?
Extra information:
- Using the TachoNavigator
- Played around with differnt values
- Slow motor speed (210)
