Kinect to Oculus Rift with Kintinuous

Today's kind of, sort of inspirational project is from a Hack-a-Day post by Brian Benchoff. It's kind of inspirational in that since the project's authors can't release the source, they can at least release their background research...
The Kinect has long been able to create realistic 3D models of real, physical spaces. Combining these Kinect-mapped spaces with an Oculus Rift is something brand new entirely.
[Thomas] and his fellow compatriots within the Kintinuous project are modeling an office space with the old XBox 360 Kinect's RGB+D sensors. then using an Oculus Rift to inhabit that space. ...
While Kintinuous is very, very good at mapping large-scale spaces, the software itself if locked up behind some copyright concerns the authors and devs don't have control over. This doesn't mean the techniques behind Kintinuous are locked up, however: anyone is free to read the papers (here's one, and another, PDF of course) and re-implement Kintinuous as an open source project. ...

HMVS Victoria (1855)
Her Majesty's Colonial Steam Sloop Victoria, dressed for the visit of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh in 1867
|30 June 1855
|31 May 1856
|Melbourne, Victoria
|Sold into civilian service
|General characteristics
|Combined steam/sail
HMVS Victoria (Her Majesty's Victorian Ship; also referred to with the prefix HMCSS-Her Majesty's Colonial Steam Sloop) was a 580-ton combined steam/sail sloop-of-war built in England in the 1850s for the colony of Victoria, Australia.[1][2]
She was the second warship to be built for an Australian colonial navy, the first British-built ship given to a colony of the British Empire, and the first Australian warship to be deployed overseas when she supported New Zealand colonists during the First Taranaki War.
Construction and acquisition[edit]
Victoria was the first warship to be built in England for one of the British colonies.[1][3] She was the second ship ordered for an Australian colonial navy, after the Australian-built gunboat Spitfire for the New South Wales colony.[1] She was designed by the British naval architect Oliver Lang and launched in London on 30 June 1855[3] by Lady Constance Talbot.
Commander William Henry Norman sailed Victoria from Plymouth to Hobsons Bay, arriving on 31 May 1856.[1] The ship was initially equipped with three 32-pounder guns.[4]
Operational history[edit]
Victoria's main duties were to protect the colony of Victoria, conduct hydrological surveys, recover passengers and crew from stricken ships, and serve as a lighthouse tender.[5] During her career the sloop delivered the first trout eggs to the colony of Tasmania.[1]
New Zealand Wars deployment, 1860[edit]
In 1860, the colonial government of Victoria decided to send the sloop to New Zealand, to support British colonists fighting in the First Taranaki War.[5] On 19 April 1860, Victoria sailed to Hobart, embarked 134 troops from the 40th Regiment of Foot, and transported them to New Zealand.[5] Prior to her departure, the colonial government passed an Act giving the ship legal status, but this law was overturned by Britain as an attempt to create a naval force independent of the Royal Navy.[5]
After delivering the soldiers to Auckland, Victoria performed shore bombardments and coastal patrols, while maintaining supply routes between Auckland and New Plymouth.[5]
In July, she sailed to Sydney to transport General Thomas Pratt and his staff to New Zealand.[5] Victoria was used to evacuate women and children from the town of New Plymouth, following Maori attacks on the town's fortifications.[5] In October, the ship underwent refit in Wellington, and resumed duties by delivering British reinforcements to the combat areas.[5] As the Victorian colonial government required the ship for urgent survey work, her return was requested at the end of the year, with Victoria arriving in Melbourne in March 1861.[5]
The New Zealand Wars deployment was the first time an Australian warship had been deployed to assist in a foreign war.[1] The legal hazards of having a colonial warship operating outside her territorial limits was rectified by declaring that all Australian warships in international or foreign waters had to be commissioned into the Royal Navy.[5]
Search for Burke and Wills, 1861-2[edit]
When news reached Melbourne in July 1861 that the explorers Burke and Wills were missing somewhere between Cooper Creek and the Gulf of Carpentaria the Royal Society of Victoria decided to send a number of search parties to search for them. Commander William Henry Norman sailed from Hobson's Bay in Victoria on the 4 August 1861 for Brisbane, where William Landsborough and the Queensland Relief Expedition boarded.[citation needed] Victoria arrived at the Albert River in the Gulf of Carpentaria at the end of September 1861. Also aboard was the botanist Diedrich Henne. After finding traces of the explorers, they returned to Melbourne on 31 March 1862.
1862 onwards[edit]
In 1867, Victoria was present for the visit of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh—the first member of the British Royal Family to visit Australia.[3]
By 1877, Victoria's armament had been altered to include one 10-inch gun, two 13-pounders, and two 3-pounders.[2]

Tucson won't challenge a court ruling restoring the rank of a police lieutenant demoted for sharing sexually explicit pictures of herself with a subordinate officer.
The council voted 4-3 after a closed-door session not to appeal a Pima County Superior Court judge's order to restore officer Diana Lopez's lieutenant rank.
Lopez was demoted to sergeant in November 2012 for sending racy photos and videos to a subordinate officer she was dating.
Lopez appealed her demotion to the city's Civil Service Commission. But the commission upheld the punishment, leading her to file a lawsuit.
Superior Court Judge Charles Harrington reversed the commission's decision on grounds that the Tucson Police Department lacked a clear policy in regard to employees sharing sexually explicit materials with someone they are dating.
Lopez's attorney, Michael Piccarreta, said the council made the smart move to stop wasting time and money investigating the private affairs of an officer.
"It permits police to focus on police work and not on police officers' private lives," Piccarreta said.
Councilwoman Regina Romero, who voted against the appeal, said she sided with the judge's findings.
"I felt spending more time and money on this case would not be prudent," Romero said.
Even though the city declined, the Civil Service Commission can still file an appeal, said City Attorney Mike Rankin.
But Piccarreta said it would be highly unusual and display a bias against Lopez if the commission elects to fight Harrington's ruling.
As a result of the court order, TPD will begin to examine its existing policies regarding the sharing of provocative material and other matters related to this issue, Rankin said.

Disney to Reboot "The Rocketeer" With Black Female Lead
Comic Books
Here is the latest cool comic book moment in our year-long look at one cool comic book moment a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
Today we begin a special Tear-Jerker Week of cool comic book moments!
Our first "tear jerker" moment comes from the last issue of Y the Last Man.
The last issue of Y the Last Man takes place many years in the future, when society has more or less been completely rebuilt and our protagonist, Yorick, is now an old man nearing his death. He is visited by one of the young adult clones of him (who is now about the same age as Yorick was when the plague that wiped out all the other men happened).
So most of the book takes place in flashbacks filling in the 60 year gap since the last issue, and it includes our farewells to various notable characters from the series, but none were more gripping and moving than the death of Yorick's monkey, Ampersand.
Writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Pia Guerra just nail this scene.
If you have to pick one page to be "the" moment, I guess page 3 would be it, but for clarity's sake, here is the four-page scene:
Very well done.
I've read this but for the benefit of everyone who hasnt':
Don't spoil Y!
Oh, boy….
Yep, still brings out the sniffles in me…
Damn fine piece.
'scuse me… *sniff*
Thats sad. I am crying.
Jesus that's a good scene. THANKS FOR RUINING IT!!!!!1111
jk jk
This has inspired me to go blow a wad of cash on trades.
The deal breaker is really the monkey's face on the right side of the third page.
You know… I've lost it so many times when reading that book I couldn't even bring myself to actually look at it this time. But yeah. This should be 1st, last, and only thing on your list. Amazingly powerful scene.
what a way to start the week remembering that scene and how Yorick winds up losing the one person who was with him through the whole thing and then to have it near 355 grave. touching and a tear jearker
Manly tears ;_;
You know… I've lost it so many times when reading that book I couldn't even bring myself to actually look at it this time.
My fiancee has never read the scene, because she knows it is too sad.
Jesus that's a good scene. THANKS FOR RUINING IT!!!!!1111
jk jk
The funny thing is that I bet there's someone who actually IS thinking that. "Let's see, a scene from a book I haven't read yet? Let me read it…WHAT?!?!- how could you have spoiled that for me!!!"
I hate BKV for making me care for a character and then killing him off by natural causes at the end of his natural life span. And for killing others by unnatural causes in ways that don't translate into noble and heroic sacrifices. And for not writing more comics for me to read.
At least LOST starts back up this week…
Aw, geez, it gets me every time…
Damn you. This gets me EVERYTIME!
Saddest part in the whole damn book.
That scene just got me AGAIN. So beautifully done.
Reminds me of the ending of Old Yeller.
>HONK> sniffle
unh, DO excuse me.
I've never really been able to understand any of the people who complain about the last issue of Y. This scene alone is makes it a great issue and to know that Yorick went on to live a full life; full of pain, love, beauty…etc is so rewarding to me. It's a great cap to a wonderful series.
Ah… oh. Oh jeez.
Never fails.
Man, that scene got to me enough when I originally read it. Now that I have a dog, it's even worse. Great scene in a great book.
dude – heartbreaker of a scene. and way cool. that series was so well written that I didn't think i really cared for the monkey all that much until he was gone. kind of like real life and people that pass out of it.
great selections so far.
Never read the book, nice art though.
I loved all of Y, but that scene was the best of them all.
Awesome scene, but does the monkey die of natural causes? I thought that he was sick/old, and Yorick gave him a poisoned grape-"putting him to sleep" so that he could bury him by Agent 355. Still awesome either way.
Hold up, am I reading this correctly in that he had something in that grape to kill Ampersand?
I cried like a baby when I read that the first time. . . and I just got misty eyed again. Damn monkey.
I thought that he was sick/old, and Yorick gave him a poisoned grape-"putting him to sleep" so that he could bury him by Agent 355
He was dying of natural causes, but Yorick obviously couldn't stand to see him in pain and used the poisoned grape to help him on his way (he was under the impression that it would be a painless method)…
Aw jeez, here I go again… keep thinking of a cat I had when I was younger…
Damn you, Vaughan and Guerra! Why did you have to do it so well??
On a par with the episode of Futurama with Fry's dog.
I hope there's a few people familiar with that…
OK, I quit reading Y a very long while back, but I have to say that is one of the most touching moments I've ever read. Thank God I have my own office, because I'm tearing up at work.
And as someone with a sick pet at home, Brian I could kick your ass for posting this.
wow. get's me every time. wish i hadn't have read this in a public place. good thing my girlfriend goes for the sensitive type.
Yeah, Seymour's death was sad too.
My God that is a sad scene.
I cried reading that in bed next to my girlfriend.
She thot it was funny but i didnt!!!
Beautiful end to the series.
This took me back to when my rabbit was dying and the vet gave her an injection so she wouldn't feel any pain. I took her home and held her just like that till she died.
Pia Guerra deserves a good chunk of the credit for that. The artwork in that scene was just beautiful. What else has she done?
Classic moment from a classic series.

Skip to comments.Microsoft reinvents the wheel with Windows 8
Posted on 06/03/2012 7:30:21 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
BERKELEY, Calif. (MarketWatch) I am writing this review on a computer that runs Windows Vista. Its not that bad.
Generally speaking, I like Microsoft Corp. MSFT -2.54% and what it has done. Over the years, Ive even supported the idea that Microsofts Bob interface was mismarketed and actually was unique and interesting.
That said, Windows 8 looks to me to be an unmitigated disaster that could decidedly hurt the company and its future.
This opinion is based on using the new release candidate beta that is pretty much what will finally ship after some bug fixes.
Its not that the product out-and-out stinks. It is refreshingly slick-looking and modern, albeit without any charm whatsoever.
The real problem is that it is both unusable and annoying. It makes your teeth itch as you keep asking, Why are they doing this!?
First of all, the system-software product is mostly divorced from all the thought and trends developed by Windows over the years, as if to say that they were wrong the whole time, so lets try something altogether new.
No business will tolerate this software, let me assure you. As a productivity tool, it is unusable.
Most applications cannot even be scaled down and so take up the whole screen. To even get out of these apps, you have to ram the cursor down into the lower left corner and click. That puts you back onto the vapid Metro start screen, where you can begin another miserable adventure.
Do you work on a huge 27-inch or bigger monitor? You know, so you have room to organize your programs and files? Well, imagine everything running full screen on that. Its a joke.

Then they stupidly made no way of reverting that atrocity to the classic start menu and unless there is a revision to be made in the release candidate version, there will be no classic interface.
After XP it's been all downhill.
Hate it when my teeth itch.
One other gripe is you need to have a live.com or hotmail.com email account, and before getting to the metro sexual screen you need to log in to your email account.

This review sounds a bit over the top.
However I can easily believe that MS has (like General Motors and many others) become too big, too bloated, too inbred, too political, too sure that they understand what the customer wants.
That appears to be a completely useless OS. MS still has the bad assumption that people use their bloatware instead of their own programs. I'm sure each of those blocks work with their own bloatware; IE, Media Player, Gaming Center, MSN Messenger, yadda yadda... For most other people who don't use their programs, it will probably be a headache to use them around these pods.
No more anonymity is the reason for the email login.
Terrible article. Usually Dvorak is pretty good.
This article mirrors what other reviewers have said. When closing programs is a challenge, you know this is destined for the trash heap.
I'll stay with WIN-7 Pro as long as I possibly can w-wo/support, since it's as good or better than XP Pro was (IMO), and then go to a Mac or Linux. Screw MS and this Win-8 crap BS.
It seems that the creators of all major operating systems are hell-bent on destroying the user experience, or at least dumb it down so Justin Bieber fans can use it efficiently.
Apple is going to make their Mac interfaces like IOS (think Ipod and Iphone).
Ubuntu already released Unity, which is difficult to use and makes no sense on a computer with a bigger screen.
Now Windows is making a PlaySkool interface.
At least we still have XFCE in Linux. As lacking as it is, I can at least make it do most of what I want.
"Microsoft could change tablet game with Windows 8: analysts
Our survey suggests 25% of users expect to buy Windows 8 tablet and Office is a key feature, especially for those considering their first tablet purchase, the note said.
Given Microsofts strong position in consumer and business PCs, they added, Microsofts Windows 8 with Office could become the second largest tablet platform,"
Microsoft has done this for years, follow a great operating system with one that stinks. Anyone remember Windows ME or Vista? I held out on adopting Windows until Win 3.1 and still griped about having to manually integrate third party Winsock and TCP/IP stacks so I could get on the Internet. I held on to my Win98SE through WinME until Windows XP came out. I held on to Win XP until Win 7 came out. This is in fact my first Win 7 machine. I ordered my Dell Vostro with Win XP several years ago. At the time it was still a free "downgrade" available for people who needed compatibility with corporate software. They'll shoot themselves in the foot with Win 8, realize they are losing sales, and try to do better with Win 9. I will probably keep my 64 bit Win 7 as long as possible.
I liked XP, hated Vista and love 7.
If this is what 8 is like, I'll pass.
The usual Microsoft is going to die claptrap.
Until they don't, then the little choir of Apple/Linux loudmouths will go back under their bridges like they did after they said Windows7 was terrible.
Bill Gates = your personal "Big Brother"!
Uh oh....Vista II in the making
It's just an opinion, so mine is every bit as valid as yours or the next guy, but I believe the Win8 OS will be well received as it is targeted at the tablet and mobile user, even if the desktop user will see very little benefit from this OS.
Take for example the complaint Dvorak makes about the screen real estate on his 27" monitor example:
"Do you work on a huge 27-inch or bigger monitor? You know, so you have room to organize your programs and files? Well, imagine everything running full screen on that. Its a joke."
Well, this OS is not meant to enhance the desktop user's experience, but instead a tablet users interface (how often do you muti-task via two apps at once on a tablet or a phone?) I manage resources in the IT industry, and I can speak from personal observation that there are a lot of the younger, constantly connected mobile (CCM) users who are very interested in this OS. Many are Android devotees so there is some substance here to Microsoft's approach.
The general thinking is that the Win8 OS might be, in fact, a game-changer for MS in that they may end up suddenly dominating the non-Apple table OS market.
Their current ploy:
Buy a Win7 pc/laptop now [earlier purchases do not qualify] and get the Win8 upgrade for $14.99
[I recall with VISTA that they couldn't even give it away. They even tried to encourage online 'pirates' to pirate it. The 'pirates' didn't even want that piece of crap.
The best thing MS should have done was update WinXP to use the expanded memory that Win7 uses. XP was good, stable most of the time, solid for productivity.
Win7 is okay, but it has some definite issues. Those programmers should be shot! and no need to wait for sunrise. The file explorer is atrocious. The User Access Control feature is atrocious, too. The Aero theme is cutsie but impractical for production computing.
Dvorac has been anti-Microsoft since DOS 2.1 IIRC
Dvorac has been anti-Microsoft since DOS 2.1 IIRC
MS early innovation has been replaced by pure greed. The pace of changing of O/S is that for no other reason.
yeah, this is like when XP was on SP2 and running rock solid when they tried to force feed the masses Windows Vista. That was only 5 years ago now, and they should have learned their lesson from that fiasco, but sadly they did not. Windows 7 is like XP was 10 years ago; ie. a stable platform that Microsoft for whatever reason seems destined to kill in fovor of their vision of trying to be like a damned touch tablet OS, or another attempt at being a wannabe Apple OS.
I currently have Windows 7 on a newish laptop, but even then, it is not as user friendly as XP. Once you find your way around (takes time and effort), it's similar to XP, but I see no additional benefits as a casual user. May be business or industrial applications find it better.
Being a capitalist, I understand why these tech companies keep changing/offering new and supposedly improved operating systems. That said, how many more gazillions of dollars does Gates and Co. need? If they want another gazillion bucks, let them diversify and leave their operating systems to what works. Or someone like me is going to move to Apple, which I've been thinking about since the Vista fiasco. When they stop supporting XP, I'm done.
My biggest pisser is software companies who make me buy their latest versions so I don't lose accessibility. Quicken does it every few years and I use them to pay and print my bills. Just had to buy their new version which also isn't as user friendly.
So I take it that Apple doesn't change their OS and is probably the better choice for continuity? Comments?
BTW, Kaspersky Pure 2.0 is possibly the best ant-virus and wall to ever be developed. Since I put that on my machines, I have had NO problems with virus, trojans, malware, etc., and it allows me to download any applications without turning it off. Just a heads up.
They took out many of the features: media center, media player, etc.
They have crippled their own product.
There is still a real need for a professional, working operating system. Even though even the company I work for has begun issuing iPads to people working remotely, since those people only need email, web and basic word processing, we have a lot of graphics and design professionals, along with accounting folks who just need a REAL computer.
Win8 looks like an extension of the Xbox, Windows Phone experience — a completely consumer experience. It doesn't look like it will have any place in an office environment. It looks good for novice users and the web, email, games user, but useless for power users.
We can only hope they have a parallel Win8 Professional for people who still need a real computer. ...otherwise, I'm sticking with Win7 or buying a Mac. (Despite their similar approach in Lion.)
Truly? You have to log in to an email account before you can get to the home screen? If so, I'm going Apple on my next computer.
I got miffed when they redid MS Office. Used to be able to whiz through creating spreadsheets & presentations. Now it takes 2-3 clicks to do what used to take one, and the whole navigation changed. I find myself having to click help to do some of the simplest tasks.
Screw Microsoft.
I've been migrating to Linux for a number of years, this might be the final incentive. I've got a real estate program that only runs in IE is the only hangup.
The screen looks like a take off of the Windows phone with tiles.
Anyone else have similar data? If so, this is big news...
yes, this is after you boot up EVERY time. A real PITA.
Micorsot has a habit of releasing new software that has LESS features than previous versions, and callig it an upgrade
One of the best products for productivity was NetMeeting,m and they just removed it... They have Windows live meeting now, but it is not as good
MSN Messenger was nearly perfect, so they took out the ability to block annoying spam users, and the web camera interface that worked, and replaced it with one that only allows one user to have a webcam sssion with you at a time. I used to have 5 or six people I would talk with at a time from offices all around the world.
My biggest gripe with software upgrades/updates is that they can cause more problems then they resolve.
Just this morning I had to drop Firefox 13 and return to FF12 to get a banking tunnel safety software (Rapport) to work. The Rapport upgrade was supposed to work with 13; it didn't. So, I had a choice of keeping FF 13 and losing Rapport or keeping Rapport and reverting to the previous FF 12.
Mozilla is still continued the rapid release insanity. I will be glad when the fire whoever came up that 'brilliant' [/s] idea.
Good choice, Pb.
While they are shooting programmers [post #21], they can also line up the idiot who came up with the ribbon menus.
Those things are ridiculous.
Also, with Win7, I get exasperated moving the mouse around a block to find out where they hid the link.
Bring back BUTTONS. They were easy to find, easy to use.
I supervise about 10 computers at my company. I still have a couple running Win98. Several of them are on XP, a couple on Vista, and a couple on Win7. I got rid of a Win3.1 three years ago. The problem is some of my periferals. I have several scanners and printers that will not work on the newer versions of MS. IOW, I bought a new computer for one of my engineers and had to spend about $370 more for a printer/scanner combo.
Normally we don't provide separate printers for users to save on the cost of ink. But none of our scanners work with the newer versions of MS, and you can't buy a separate scanner anymore. They are all packaged in those printer/copier/scanner/fax units. And of course when you buy a special machine for one employee, everybody wants one.
If Microsoft pushes me to change by ceasing support for 7, I'll change to a Mac (and I know that I'm not alone.)
If Linux would ever come out with a user friendly, usable interface, they might get users to switch. I don't want to have to learn a whole new OS just to surf the web and do basic computer production.
But, there dozens of 'distros' [whatever they are].
The few times I tried various Linux based programs, they were ok, but lacking. Some didn't recognize the new widescreen monitors, some didn't recognize the pctv card, etc.
Linux is still too much of hobbyiest thingy. If they ever get serious, they might become a challenge to Mac and Windows.
>>Uh oh....Vista II in the making<<
Sounds more like ME II...
Yes, I remember that fiasco. I loved XP Pro for many years and grudgingly gave it up on my business/home machines 2yrs ago, only to find Win-7 Pro a real delight and rock-solid. MS is making a fatal, unrecoverable error this time. (I'm hardly in the "guru" category with those on this thread, but having started on DOS2 in 1982, I'm more in the *advanced user* group and can see the sinkhole in MS' road ahead if they continue with this junk.)
What in the world are these "developers" thinking? That everyone only uses small mobile devices for all computing activities?
These are all very poor interfaces for large monitors natively, though at least Cinnamon running over Gnome 3 transfers a painful experience into a pleasant enough one.
Microsoft had a great run but it's crap like this that makes me thing that they're nearing the end. The world is changing and fast, and they're going to get left behind IMHO.
Sounds like I'll just be hitting the 'B' button on my KVM switch more often to make use of my far-more-impressive Linux Kubuntu desktop.
As an end user its really annoying having to learn another OS especially if its inferior to the previous one.
Why not MS keep a sound, fundamental OS like XP and instead of overhauling it just add newer versions with more creative apps and functions. Maybe I'm just getting older and more resistant to the pace of rapid changes in this modern era. Yet still if something works well and good why flux it up with change for the purpose of changes sake to accomodate the less than almighty dollar.
Yep, us oldtime Mac users well recall Dvorak down on his knees Bobbing for Microsoft, over the years.
If he says Windows 8 sucks, it must really suck. Because if there's one thing Dvorak knows ...

At Long Last Love is a 1975 American musical romantic comedy film written, produced and directed by Peter Bogdanovich, and stars Burt Reynolds and Cybill Shepherd.
The film attempts to pay homage to the great Hollywood musicals of the 1930s such as Swing Time and Top Hat. It features 18 songs with music and lyrics by Cole Porter.
Many have cited it as one of the worst films ever made.
Four socialites unexpectedly clash: heiress Brooke Carter runs into the italian gambler Johnny Spanish at the race track while playboy Michael O. Pritchard nearly runs into stage star Kitty O'Kelly with his car. Backstage at Kitty's show, it turns out she and Brooke are old friends who attended public school together. The foursome do the town, accompanied by Brooke's companion Elizabeth, who throws herself at Michael's butler and chauffeur Rodney James.
The four friends change partners at a party, where Brooke and Michael step outside behind the backs of Kitty and Johnny. In an effort to make the others jealous, Kitty and Johnny begin a romance and genuinely fall in love, as do Brooke and Michael, and (eventually) Elizabeth and Rodney.

Bogdanovich originally announced the cast would be Cybill Shepherd, Madeline Kahn, Ryan O'Neal and the director himself. He was inspired by the films of Ernst Lubitsch.[5] Shepherd had recorded an album of Cole Porter songs paid for by Paramount.[6]
Resisting the urge to shoot another film in black and white, Bogdanovich had it art directed as "Black and White in Color." The film is unique in being the first since the early 1930s in which all of the musical numbers were recorded live, without the actors lip-synching to a previously recorded soundtrack. (This method was also used by Rex Harrison for his songs in My Fair Lady and by Barbra Streisand for the climactic "My Man" in Funny Girl). At Long Last Love is also unusual in that most musical numbers were performed in one continuous take.
Bogdanovich says the film was originally called Quadrille and was equally weighted between the four lead characters.[7]
The film opened in March 1975 to scathing reviews and poor box office returns.
Jay Cocks in Time Magazine led that condemnation, stating "This Cole Porter coloring book, mounted with great expense and no taste, is one of those grand catastrophes that make audiences either hoot in derisive surprise or look away in embarrassment," adding, "when dancing, the stars look as if they're extinguishing a camp fire."[8]
TV Guide wrote, "One of the worst bombs of the 1970s, this foolish attempt at re-creating the lush musicals of the 1930's offers fabulous art deco sets, memorable Cole Porter songs, and slick production values, yet it goes down like a stricken elephant."[9] Pauline Kael in The New Yorker called it a "stillborn musical comedy-a relentlessly vapid pastiche."[10]
John Simon wrote in The National Review that the film, "may be the worst movie musical of this or any decade: Sitting through this movie is like having someone at a fancy Parisian restaurant, who neither speaks nor reads French, read out stentoriously the entire long menu in his best Arkansas accent, and occasionally interrupt himself to chortle at his own cleverness"[11] and he particularly criticized Cybill Shepherd, stating, "Cybill Shepherd, Mr B's inamorata, plays a poor little snotty rich girl with a notion of sophistication that is underpassed onIy by her acting ability. (I will not even sully my pen by making it describe her singing and dancing.) If it weren't for an asinine superciliousness radiating from her, Miss Shepherd would actually be pitiable, rather like a kid from an orphanage trying to play Noel Coward."
Frank Rich also condemned the film and Shepherd specifically in The New Times, calling the film, "The most perverse movie musical ever made... a colossal, overextravagant in-joke.... Every time his stars open their mouths or shake their legs, they trample on Cole Porter's grave...As for Shepherd's dancing, the best to be said is that it may not be recognizable as such: when this horsey ex-model starts prancing around, she tends to look as if she's fighting off a chronic case of trots.[12]
Bruce Williamson attacked the film in a review for Playboy Magazine and stated, "Duilio Del Prete, an Italian discovery with no voice, sings as if he came to paint the mansion and stayed on to regale the company with wobbly impersonations of Louis Jourdan and Maurice Chevalier."[13]
John Barbour wrote in Los Angeles magazine, "If this Peter Bogdanovich fiasco were any more of a dog, it would shed," and "Burt Reynolds sings like Dean Martin with adenoids and dances like a drunk killing cockroaches."[13]
The chorus of critical attacks prompted Bogdanovich to have an open letter of apology printed in newspapers throughout the U.S.
Burt Reynolds later said the film was:
Not as bad as it was reviewed. What was reviewed was Cybill and Peter's relationship. You see, Peter Bogdanovich has done something that all critics will never forgive him for doing. That is, stop being a critic, go make a film and have that film be enormously successful. What he did then was to go on talk shows, and be rather arrogant and talk about how bad critics are. That was the final straw. So they were waiting with their knives and whatever. And along came Peter who finally gave them something they could kill him with. Unfortunately there I was, between Cybill's broad shoulders and Peter's ego. And I got killed along with the rest of them.[14]
Bogdanovich later said the film was rushed into release:
That was a disaster and unfortunately people say to me now "Gee, I really like that picture, why was it so attacked?" But the people who are reacting to that now have only seen the recut version which was the one I recut after it opened, you see. It was an original musical comedy and we only had two previews. Two. The first one was a total disaster in San Jose and the second one in Denver was OK. It played. But then I made some more changes to it because of pressure from the studio and didn't preview that version. So that version which had never previewed opened and it was the worst version there was. It was fucked. Then I saw that playing and I realized what I needed to do, but by then it was too late. It was overconfidence on the part of the studio, because the studio really liked the movie, that was the funny thing. They liked it, they thought it was terrific but in a musical, well in anything, it all has to do with construction. And in a musical particularly, the balance between the musical numbers and the dialogue has to be delicate and I just was still too inexperienced to realize how critical that was and so after the picture had opened it was declared a bomb. The only place it made money was at the Music Hall. Then I realized how I should have cut it after that and I immediately did cut it, they let me recut and I think I paid for that, and that version was then shown on television and that's the version that all release prints have been ever since. That was quite different from the opening version. Very different, but unfortunately it was too late.[15]
Despite the negative reviews, Roger Ebert gave the film a mildly positive review, writing "It's impossible not to feel affection for At Long Last Love Peter Bogdanovich's much-maligned evocation of the classical 1930s musical. It's a light, silly, impeccably stylish entertainment...The movie's no masterpiece, but I can't account for the viciousness of some of the critical attacks against it. It's almost as if Bogdanovich is being accused of the sin of pride for daring to make a musical in the classical Hollywood style... Bogdanovich has too much taste, too sure a feel for the right tone, to go seriously wrong. And if he doesn't go spectacularly right, at least he provides small pleasures and great music."
In a documentary of his career, Bogdanovich has said he regretted that the film was hastily cut prior to theatrical release based on reactions to only two studio previews. He subsequently recut the film himself, before it reached cable and regular TV, and has stated many people who first saw it in this version did not react so badly to the film.[16] At Long Last Love was listed in the 1978 book The Fifty Worst Films of All Time, was cited in The Golden Turkey Awards (Winning the award for "The Worst Musical Extravaganza of All Time".), and listed as a major financial disaster in The Hollywood Wall of Shame, both by Harry and Michael Medved.[17]
Home media[edit]
At Long Last Love was only released once on videocassette, by Magnetic Video in 1981.[18] In addition, there were different versions (each with different scenes and numbers added and missing) floating around among fans and collectors, from 16mm prints and various TV broadcasts.
The director dismissed the film as a painful memory until around 2011 when he was told it was streaming on Netflix and people were liking it. For the first time in many years he watched it himself, and for the first time in years, he liked what he saw. But it was not his cut.
It was discovered that a longtime studio editor named Jim Blakely had secretly assembled another version of the film (running approximately 121 minutes) which more closely resembled Bogdanovich's shooting script and first preview cut. He quietly substituted it as the default version as early as 1979, and that was the version made available to Netflix.[19] As a result of Netflix streaming and showings on Fox Movie Channel this version helped turn the tide and change the picture's fate. The director has gratefully acknowledged Jim Blakely, who died before anyone learned what he had done.
After finding out how it happened, Bogdanovich called Fox to say he liked that version. He made some refinements, including 90 seconds of restored footage, bringing the final running time to 123 minutes. The studio released it as the "Definitive Director's Version" on Blu-ray disc in June 2013, resulting in more positive reviews than the theatrical version received.

Hey Nick,
Is there a way to hide image titles in the shortcodes?
And what about editing existing space box galleries?
For example, I needed to change where the images linked to....and the only way I was able to hide titles was by deleting them when adding to the galleries. When I edited the image links in the media library and saved...the titles popped up again.

Hi all,
This is my first post, but I am a regular reader, and WP user.
Apologies for the long post. I have included as much info as possible :)
Some Background
I host a couple personal websites on a Multisite install, and use the WPMUDEV Mapped domains plugin to map the different domains to the different Multisite sites, with a A record in each DNS record pointing to a Dedicated IP.
Up until now, the install has been on Godaddy Hosting and worked fine. But after the saga that I have had with Godaddy hosting being not compatible with certain plugins ( BackupBuddy - I'm looking at you) I have decided to move my install to HostGator.
I have successfully moved the site manually, and it is live and functioning perfectly. Except...
The Problem
Now I am having trouble with Mapping domains.
I have a Business Plan that includes a free SSL and a Dedicated IP address.
I noticed that when I went through the domains and updated the A records to the new Dedicated IP, and waited for the delegation, visiting the mapped sites would take me to a 404 HostGator page.
So, when I type the Dedicated IP into a browser it does not take me to the main site. I get a 404 HostGator page too
After Speaking to HG Support, I was told that
the IP address assigned is a STATIC PUBLIC DEDICATED IP Address address
They sent me here: https://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/ip-address-static-vs-dynamic-public-vs-private-shared-vs-dedicated
So after some investigation, it turns out there is no "reverse-lookup" enabled on the Dedicated IP. So I can ping the Dedicated IP, but cant visit it??!!
These are my questions
1. How can the Dedicated IP be "STATIC PUBLIC DEDICATED IP Address" if I can't visit it from a browser?
2. Is there another way to map the domains?
3. Anybody else have this problem?

Does anyone know the history of Terminal One ?
It's original configuration? First major operator out of it? From SWA's website, they say they expanded to LAX in '82. Were they always at Terminal One? If so was this a concious choice, due to what seems to be an advantages location for a short haul airline.
Yanno..things like that

Historical Traveler Reviews The Crown Hotel Harrogate
Desperately in need of a face lift
This hotel looks quite decent on the web and I was quite impressed at the price - just �45 GBP for a twin room. I should have known there would be a catch!
60 years ago this was probably a fantastic hotel; the architecture is beautiful and it does have a certain amount of character. However, it is in such bad need of total restoration that I am surprised that it is open at all.
The lift wasn't working, so we had to carry our bags to the third floor. The corridors and stairwells had paper peeling of walls, chunks of plaster missing, filthy paintwork, grime and dust - I'm trying to be polite, but the place is a complete dump.
The bedroom was dim, stuffy and grotty with peeling paint/paper. The bathroom was grimy with chipped tiles and the shower was a dribble.
The bar area was not as bad as the rest of the hotel - OK for an evening drink and a bar snack.
The breakfast was nothing more than a greasy fry up - for �13.50 per head. Horrible breakfast - horrible price.
I strongly advise you to stay somewhere else...
I won't be back.....
the crown ... it looked very impressive when we got out of our taxi to stay there this week (business trip). The location was great.. pity about the hotel. Run down - to put it simply. As soon as I checked in, I had to use the toilet. To say they were disgusting was an understatement! I was dreading seeing the rooms after my experience there! To be fair, the room itself was large, yet cosy. The furniture and beds were in good order, and the bed linen was clean and fresh. However, the carpet was old and dirty, and the wallpaper was peeling from the walls. It had a damp, mouldy smell and it was so sad! Such a beautiful building - but it would need a fortune spent on it to renovate it. I found the staff very welcoming, but I'm afraid, I won't be back on any of my future visits.
Beware unless you like mold and gloom (Insight Tour)
Our Insight Tour included this hotel for two nights. We were told that it was a first class hotel with NO other people complaining about the facilities. Both Insight Tours and Crown Hotel pulled a fast one on our group. Our first room had moldy bathroom, torn curtains, horrible beds, dirty floors, garbage smell in hallway and noise from pubs; second room on second night faced front of hotel with bright lights shining in room all night (drapes didn't close), heat that couldn't be turned off and again moldy bathroom. Insight tours, which we thought was a decent tour company, claims there was no problem or previous complaints about this hotel. Most other travelers in our group had similar experiences and horrible rooms. The Crown Hotel is located in a lovely setting and very close to downtown, but that doesn't change the fact that it is run down and sadly in need of major renovations.
Please Stay Somewhere Else.
A business associate and I had the unfortunacy of staying here over night on a trip to Harrogate. The hotel was booked for us and we had no real idea of what lay in store for us.
On arrival the hotel looks very impressive but as soon as you go through the revolving doors you are met with a scene of decay and neglect that has run unchecked for well over 20 years. And this, the foyer, was the best looking part of the hotel. We were checked into our rooms to find carpets almost totally covered by stains, dust everywhere, cracking and peeling paint and wallpaper and in my room a large rip in the carpet had been covered by black gaffer tape to stop it ripping further! I asked for an iron and board for the room that never arrive, despite several calls to the concierge. Infact the whole feel of the place was so bad that my colleague and I left the building as soon as we could, returning only to sleep.
In the morning the breakfast was beyond description. What ever they had used to cook the fried bread in is quite beyond me.
It is such a shame that a building as impressive as this is allowed to run into the ground by a company such as Corus. Why do they do it and indeed why are they allowed to do it? I can only recommend that you do not stay here as it will go along way to making your trip one of the worst you have ever been on.
It's not the Hilton, but.......
I took a party of eighty people to this hotel and found the staff outstanding and the food superb. It may be a bit run down, don't expect Hilton standards, but it expresses the Victorian splendour of Harrogate very well. Rooms are spacious and have all the usual amenities, including clean linen!
I agree that the car parking is limited but our group managed alright and we had about twenty-five vechicles. We had absolutely no complaints and would use the hotel again. Overall it lives up to it's three star rating.
Good atmosphere and standards
I stayed at this hotel twice during the summer and simply don't recognise it from the other reviews.
I will certainly stay again! On both stays,I had a (probably recently re-furbished) bedroom in which everything worked.I thought that the food was average to good and the staff generally friendly and helpful.
I always ask for a quiet room on a high floor and that is what I was given.No complaints about the cleanliness,either.So tip number one-ask for one of the re-furbished rooms.
I have had a soft spot for the Crown since I stayed there on a week's holiday twice in the 1990's.The pleasant atmosphere hasn't changed.
Tip number two-make friends with Henry the porter who has been there for years.He is the man to see if you have any problems at all.He loves to chat and can't do enough for you.
Yes,car parking is limited both at and near the hotel.Try to arrive by mid-afternoon to better your chances of getting a space.Also,remember that there is a good train service to Harrogate and the station is only 10 minutes' walk away.
Much of the same.
Well unfortunatley we did not check the Tripadvisor websight before we stayed at this auful hotel. All that has been said before is true. This hotel looks very impressive from the outside, but as soon as you enter the lift the eyebrows start to raise.
It is in an appaling state, our room on the third floor was disgusting, all of the edges of the carpet were water stained and filthy, the curtains and bedding were the same. The bathroom although huge was peeling and rusting, the tiles on the wall in the shower were coming away from the wall. The interior of this hotel is so shabby and unkept it is hard to believe it is actually a going concern.
We booked this hotel on a last minute deal, but it wouldn't matter how little you paid to stay there it would be too much.
Do not stay here, if you have booked already then my advice is to cancel.
What you've already read is only too true
We took an Insight Tour (country roads), which spent two nights in Harrogate. Before leaving for the UK, I read the two previous reviews for this hotel. Although we were given a decent room (#245), horror stories from other tour members confirmed what had already been said. One couple had a room overlooking the entrance and had a balcony, on which rested the remains of a pigeon, fed upon by various insects. Another member's room had not been cleaned. Fortunately the desk granted a room change. Still another had a room which not only reeked of smoke but shook from a noisy band down below. To be fair, the grounds look ok and we really had a decent room, although new carpeting and wallpaper should be high on their priority. And the breakfast/dining staff tried very hard (good food). But the management (if there is any management) doesn't seem to care. I've already written the management directly, hoping that some changes might be made. The location of the hotel is very good and should be a major draw. Instead, I must sadly recommend that potential guests reconsider.
Never Again!
A party of myself, my husband and six friends stayed here for the weekend, Friday to Sunday. It is a shabby hotel, with lacklustre staff attitudes, poor room security, serious staff shortages, low hygiene standards. although the bedrooms were large the wall paper was peeling , the telephone and radio didnt work, hardly any of the lights in the room worked and to cap it all our room was robbed! The carpet, curtains and bedding were worn and mismatched and i dont think the bed linen had been changed from the previous occupants. The bathroom fittings were old and tatty and the rubber showermat was filthy. The parking consists of a few spaces at the front and rear of the hotel, nowhere near enough for the size of the hotel, so guests not there at dawn on the day of arrival have to park on the streets at in excess of �7 per day. The bar in the front lobby had one member of staff serving and ran out of baileys and bacardi, the barman was also acting as the receptionist! To be fair the food in the restaurant was adequate for the price paid, but we did ask for fresh bread as it was rock hard. The service in the restaurant was slow and i sensed resentful. We would never use this hotel again and have written to the management.
One of the worst, if not the worst, UK hotels I have ever stayed in
This was one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in in the UK. It is a 3* and looks really nice from the pictures and description on the Corus website. So swayed by the historical aspect and 18th century splendour, and thinking it would be a lovely, well kept and decorated hotel, expecially as it is in the heart of Harrogate, how disappointed were we when we arrived. They say first impressions count, and they sure do in this place. Upon entering the lift you get a sense that this place really isn't looked after well; it was a battered unkempt 70's throwback lift.
When we arrived in the room wasn't impressed. Absolutely disgusting.
Carpet didn't meet the edges of the room properly (gripper rod showing), headboard of bed was horrible and sticky, so much so that my short hair stuck to it. The shower was horrible. Cups in the room were dirty so phoned down for some more. Very prompt in bringing another set of dirty cups up. Have never had to check sheets and towels before to see if they were dirty! And things didn't get any better by breakfast.
The list goes on and on. I am sure there are plenty of nice hotels in Harrogate, just not this one.

A flying visit to York
So, after a loooong conversation with Mr Prest, I had to rush to the train station for my journey to York. On the train, I spoke to a woman who had just put in an offer on a house in Knaresborough. She lived in a little village called Clifton, I think. Nothing for sale in Clifton, and she'd always loved visiting Knaresborough in the summer, so they took a punt and found a place they liked - fingers crossed, she gets it!

Others will know more than me but this was my specific experience.
First, for clarification, I am presuming the units you are talking about are the double bins with two 15" drivers in them.
I once bought a pair of SINGLE height MWM bass bins, (a single 15" driver in each that stack to become the doubles that I presume yours are)
These were covered with fiberglass, had handles and had the aluminum trim. I bought them both for $250 total (not each) and spent another $250 to have them delivered from Florida to Tennessee. No MSSM's, no MSM's, no MMTM's and no crossovers.... just the two single height bass bins. I'll try to attach a picture.
I think it would be cool as beans to complete 5 stacks of them and do an outdoor surround system for movies in the backyard!!
Posted 03 January 2013 - 07:48 PM
Here a known/respected/liked memeber has had a pair for sale for awhile... given the pricing is still showing, I'm guessing he's still got them.
I guess the buying market for these monsters isn't terribly huge.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 08:07 PM
Thank you for replying
They are the Double bins
You are one of the members I had hoped would reply!
I agree that would be incredible to have 5 stacks !
I have been lurking for years and only recently joined. As a matter of fact I had just been watching your thread about placing your MWM bins .I will have similar problems if I get these. I will have to remove door trim to get these inside as the one doorway is just shy of 32.5" and the room will be full for sure but I will not be here permanently and you guys have me wanting to try the pro stuff badly! I have not even heard these but I can only imagine from what some of you have said these will make my Belle's sound Small .

I don't know how much they weight but the double bins are monsters. I can wrestle a single bin (not carry but wrestle) out of my garage and ultimately, get them where I want them as long as it's not up stairs nor indoors. When I setup for the movie, I use my backhoe.
It takes two people to carry a single height. I personally, would not want to be part of carrying some doubles around, I tried that once with someone else.
Not to sound rude but I personally would be willing to pay more for singles just for their ability to be moved easier. In other words, that is a polite way to say I'd be a bit harder on the price for the double bins because they are so unwieldy. []
Best way I can describe the sound out of the MWM's is simply effortless. They're fun to play with. They are not fun to move.

Holly Crap! That is some Yard! Don't rule that suggestion out, I do have a truck and trailer to pull that off.The only thing stopping me from saying it will happen is having to move the MWM's
Words are cheap []
Once you are part of lifting one of those monster bass bins you will slap yourself upside your head and say "what was I thinking when I opened my mouth?"
Therefore, I will never hold you to it. Once you start wrestling the bass bins around (with the commensurate cussing at them and stretching of your back muscles) you will clearly understand.
Also, once you finally place them you will convince yourself that you are never moving them again. Probably selling them with the house. Might even get a higher price on the house once a prosepctive buyer hears the system [Y]

Thanks dtel . Pictures and even looking at the dimensions don't prepare you for standing in front of a set for the first time. They are HUGE !

Yes they are, and heavy. The singles are heavy but it's really the size which makes them hard to handle, the double bins are rough to handle even for two people. Michael was moving some from one trailer to another and I got to help with a double bin, it was heaver than I was expecting, 4 people would make it much easier especially if you have some distance to go.
I do love that design, simple but very effective, ever see the inside ?

I may have but never paid close attention (watched one build thread), These were always something I marveled at and fantasized about but never thought would really happen. You are right it really is a thing of beauty! As far as the heavy lifting I have already been warning some of my younger friends and my son and some of his friends(mid twenties) since my mind believes I can still do anything but my body just hasn't been in agreement lately! I know these doubles are going to be a bear ,I'm getting sore just thinking about it.

Seattle Sonics:
Hot start a fluke? But they beat the Spurs, ending a 21-game S.A. home W streak. Ray Allen for MVP? Not quite, but All-NBA for now.
QUICKIE LIVE! 9-10 a.m.
The Lead Item
Two Words For You:
Starting today,
the MLB winter meetings will offer a much-needed break for fans weary of the punishing steroids scandal.
The meetings are the closest that GMs ever get to playing in a fantasy league. (Which is going to be the first team to hire a star Fantasy GM for the front office? It's the new "Moneyball!")
Speaking of fantasy, 75 percent of the rumors flying out of the Anaheim Marriott hotel lobby will be distortions, distractions and plain ol' disses.
MLB learned from last winter that some sizzling hot-stove rumors can push everything else to the back-burner,
especially the 'roids issue, which fans
don't want to talk about.
Biggest scuttlebutt?
We may finally see trade movement on Randy Johnson and Sammy Sosa, and perhaps on two young studs, Alfonso Soriano and Tim Hudson.
Watch the hometown Angels:
They've got money to spend and that itching, burning feeling to use it.
Heisman Finalists
Get behind rooting
for Adrian Peterson, simply for the novelty of seeing the first freshman ever get the award (then to hear the stammering excuses why he's "not ready" for the NFL simply because of his age.). USC's Reggie Bush was the Quickie pick.
As for the QBs?
Matt Leinart is a system guy; Jason White stole it last year; Utah's Alex Smith is there for the "Cindy" factor.
More CFB Awards
The only on-field specialization that doesn't have its own award is water boy. (And if it did, you KNOW it would be the "Bobby Boucher.")
Nevertheless, if it's a legendary player, there's an award for him: Bednarik (top D player); Biletnikoff (top WR); Butkus (top LB); Groza (top K); Guy (top P); Mackey (top TE) ... the list goes on.
(And if Leinart wins the Heisman, you can re-name it "the Torretta," in honor of the Miami QB who set
David Pollack: UGA DE wins Lombardi award (top lineman)
Viv Stringer: Women's hoops-coach legend reaches big 7-0-0
Rick Majerus: ESPN analyst willing to talk to USC (in '05)
MasterCard: Huge promo around Bonds/Aaron given kibosh
Serena: Very unhappy about false internet fake interview
Cal talk about the Rose Bowl snub: Tedford says, No more
the template for winning simply for being the QB on the nation's top team.)
Tonight's award show
is most compelling for the tight races for top QB (Davey O'Brien), between Heisman finalists Leinart, Smith and White and top RB (Doak Walker), between Texas' Cedric "Lifetime Achievement" Benson and eye-popping super-frosh Peterson.
Harrison's New Deal
7 years/$66 million
extension with the Colts means Marvin Harrison can waltz hand-in-hand to the Hall of Fame with Peyton.
It also means the Colts can slap a franchise tag on the Edge. (Ever notice "slap" is always the verb used with "franchise tag?")
Now, if Indy could only
firm up that D, we'd be talking about a Colts dynasty.
The Next LeBron?
LeBron ... Bassy ... Greg Oden?
The heir to TV's "Chosen One" throne is Indiana's schoolboy 7-footer -- who isn't even eligible for the NBA draft until 2006 (but is a near-lock as the No. 1 pick, once he's in there). Judge for yourself tonight (7:30 ET, ESPN2).
MLB Fray Agency
The biggest winner
if the Mets sign Richie Sexson? NY tabloid editors.
"Feeling Sexy?"
Yikes, it
feels clichéd. But if this winter's version of Vlad Guerrero (injured slugger who could have monster comeback year) stays healthy, there'll be a lot of that.
Kobe Backtracks
"I meant nothing by it,
he said of his off-the-cuff comments that hurt the Mailman's tender feelings. "The door's always open."
Left unsaid:
"Just don't let the handle hit you where they split you on your way out!"
NHL Talks Today
Perhaps recognizing that their sport has redefined the phrase "fallen off the map," NHL owners and players will sit down today. The Quickie has obtained exclusive transcripts:
Hockey is suffocating!
What's this "hockey?"

Audit Services strives to ensure that the university has adequate internal controls. While we do not own the processes and controls established by management, we want to help staff and faculty understand university policy and best practices so they can create the best possible control environment. Below is a list of training offered by Audit Services covering a wide range of important topics.
Payroll Compliance and Controls
In this course, emphasis is placed on compliance with federal regulations, university policy, and the controls necessary in the payroll function. (Click here to request training)
Fraud Awareness (Interactive)
Every department should be concerned about the potential for fraud. It can not only affect you operations directly, but can also affect the university as a whole when occurrences make the news. We should all take steps to limit the ability for fraud to occur within the university. This course concentrates on necessary controls to limit the potential for fraud. (Click here to request training)
Internal Controls
Internal controls are a means by which resources are monitored, measured, and directed. They play an important role in detecting and preventing fraud. Without proper internal controls, an organization would lack the ability to achieve its objectives. This course is an introduction to internal controls to help gain an understanding of what they are and how to establish them. (Click here to request training)
Risk Management
Through presentations, practical exercise, self-assessments, your department will be able to improve their understanding of risk, while identifying current issues and challenges affecting your operations. This will enable you to establish new processes and controls mitigating risk before it becomes a serious problem to your operations. (Click here to request training)
Control Self-Assessment Workshop
Control self-assessment (CSA) is a technique that allows managers and work teams directly involved in business units, functions, or processes to participate in assessing the organization's risk management and control processes. In the facilitated workshop, assessments of risk and controls are made by the department personnel, which can increase the ability to achieve business objectives. We will work with you in a consulting role to help in the assessment of risks and controls. (Click here to request training)
Management Review and Oversight
This is specifically geared toward newly appointed Chairs, Deans, and Principle Investigators. The training reviews best practices for managers to ensure they have the tools and knowledge necessary to provide meaningful oversight of their area of operation. Concentration will be placed on how to read important University Reports and other financial information necessary for successful managment of operations, sponsored programs, and endowments.

On pages that display the full post rather than post excerpts, then it looks great. There is just a problem when it abbreviates a post.

Very interesting concept, leif. It's so awesome because even though some details aren't all there, the surrounding ones fill them in. Love the knives, too.
Yeah, i wanted to try to make something that is simple but also very effective. A bit like you only see a few details in the dark, but you see the most important one.

text: Greetings. I don't know how or when, but with 3.4.1 I've lost crucial functionality when creating pages, such as no toolbar (I think it was called Kitchen Sink?) and the ability to create pages in Visual as opposed to HTML mode. The thing is it only happens in Internet Explorer 9, works fine in Firefox. I am on a Windows 7 platform. Any help is appreciated.
