The 5 Workouts Celebrities Swear By
Star trainers give the exact moves they use to whip Jennifer Aniston, Eva Mendes, and Reese Witherspoon into shape
At the gym, use the cable column with a rope attachment and set the rope to the bottom position, straddling it facing away from the machine. Hold the rope with both hands and walk out a couple steps from the machine. Keeping your weight on your heels, back arched, and chin tucked in, sit back, letting the cable pull your arms back through your legs. Fire your hamstrings and glutes to get you back up to the standing, starting position, paying specific attention to pulling Your hips through and pushing your butt cheeks together. Do three sets of 10 to 12 reps, resting 45 to 60 seconds in between.
See a video demonstration of it here.

Of course, pictures of the actual exercises would be nice but lets exercise our brains here as well people! I have heard of these exercises and I highly doubt that is the ONLY thing they swear by. These are very helpful and it's awesome that these trainers share these tips with us just to help us feel as beautiful as these starlets.

Some of these exercised will be very useful! Although I won't find myself trying the pull-throughs at the gym in front of all the guys working out. They're a bit awkward in front of others...though they look great for core toning

These sound hard!

It would be nice to be able to afford a personal trainer and chef. Those women get paid to be in top shape.

LAFAYETTE, La. – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's tennis team picked up its fifth win of the year on Thursday, winning 4-1 over Louisiana – Lafayette at Cajuns Courts on the ULL campus.
The Islanders are now 5-1 on the season, marking the best start in school history, besting the previous mark of 4-2 during the 2003 campaign. ULL, a team that was in the ITA national rankings a lot last year, is now 1-5 on the year after the setback.
The two teams agreed to play singles first due to the threat of rain, with the match being stopped once either team clinched their fourth point.
Things started out tough for the Islanders, with Stefania Nicolae suffering a 6-3, 6-3 loss at the No. 3 position, but Chelsea Horan answered back with a 6-4, 6-4 triumph at No. 5 to even the score at 1-1.
From that point on, things tensed up considerably, with the final four matches all going to a third set.
Mirna Cicak put her team ahead for good at No. 1 singles with a 2-6, 6-1, 6-2 final to make it 2-1. Doris Kuselj then added to the advantage with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 final at No. 2 singles. Mia Matuszak finished off the match at No. 6 singles, completing a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 match to give Texas A&M – Corpus Christi a 4-1 win.
Sandra Burges also showed heart, taking a 4-1 lead in third set when the match was clinched.
"The girls played with incredible heart and spirit today; Mirna and Mia and Doris all battled back to win in three sets," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "That shows a lot of heart and a lot of grit when three girls battle back to win in third sets."
"It shows a lot of character and a lot of grit to come back and win all three of the third sets. It also says a lot about these girls commitment to fitness and mental toughness."
Next up for the Islanders will be a doubleheader with the men's team on Sunday, Feb. 19, at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. Both the men's and women's teams will play the Prairie View A&M Panthers in a match starting at 2 p.m. on the Islanders home court.

Network: ABC
Episodes: Ongoing (hour)
Seasons: Ongoing
TV show dates: June 3, 2013 — TBD
Series status: Has not been cancelled
Performers include: Alyssa Milano, Rochelle Aytes, Yunjin Kim, Jes Macallan, Erik Stocklin, Jason George, and Brett Tucker.
TV show description:
Based on UK TV series of the same name, this drama follows the scandalous lives of a sexy and sassy group of four girlfriends — each on her own path to self-discovery.
Savannah "Savi" Davis (Alyssa Milano) is a successful career woman who's working toward the next phase in her life — both professionally and personally. She's bucking for partner at the law firm where she works and is also trying to start a family with her husband, Harry (Brett Tucker). They've been trying to get pregnant for some time, but when their fertility issues begin to take center stage, Savi finds herself attracted to a flirtatious colleague named Dominic Taylor (Jason George).
Savi's free-spirited and capricious baby sister is Josslyn Carter (Jes Macallan). She couldn't be more different from Savi; living the single life, dating and partying, and regularly leaning on her big sister. Josslyn is a real estate agent who has no interest in a committed, long-term relationship.
Their common best friend, April Malloy (Rochelle Aytes), is a recent widow and the mother of a ten-year-old daughter. In an effort to rebuild her life and move forward, April opens a shop for home decorating. After she receives her late husband's lucrative life insurance check, she begins getting prank phone calls. April tells her closest girlfriends that she's convinced that her husband is still alive.
Meanwhile, Karen Kim (Yunjin Kim) is a therapist with a thriving practice. She reconnects with the girls after her involvement in a complicated relationship with a wealthy, married patient goes too far. She was having an affair with a terminally ill client, Tom, to whom she had prescribed morphine.
After Tom's death, his distraught son, Sam Grey (Erik Stocklin), confides in a guilt-ridden Karen — unaware of her role in his father's life. The grieving widow, Elizabeth Grey (Penelope Ann Miller), has no idea her late husband had a romance with another woman.
Episode #TBD
This TV series has not ended yet.

With 42 seconds remaining, Dons quarterback Robbie Stern took the snap from center and then watched as the play fell apart.
So he took off. Stern broke free around the left end, got a bone-crushing downfield block from wide-out Tyler Supple to seal his lane, and then tip-toed into the end zone to score an improbable game-winning touchdown with 31 seconds on the game clock.
Stern's 33-yard scamper capped a 12-play, 80-yard drive that took exactly two minutes and came on the heels of a 2-yard Kyle Hill touchdown that gave the Knights (2-4, 1-1 DFAL) their first lead of the night at 17-14.
The drive was sustained by an unlikely call by the officials. On fourth-and-11 from the Acalanes 19, Stern winged a deep pass to Craig Anderson down the right side. Anderson grabbed it with two hands, got his feet down, then hit the ground hard on his back. The ball popped free and the side judge signaled incomplete. But the back judge ran in and reversed the call for a 30-yard completion.
"Hats off to Acalanes," Las Lomas coach Doug Longero said. "They made a play at the end. But the game should have been over."

Mountains to Molehills: 'Better off'
Published: Sunday, June 15, 2014 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 13, 2014 at 2:58 p.m.
Stephen Jones of Hendersonville says he read Les Warren's articles about the book "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" and "rising inequality," and while he found it all interesting, he says the mark was missed on the effects of capitalism on the poor. "For example, the book says the destruction of capital from wars allows for more favorable wealth allocation to the poor. This is true as a percentage because the rich lose more than the poor. But that does not equate to the poor being better off than they were before," says Mr. Jones. "The destruction that occurred after World War I and World War II and soldiers coming home created a huge demand for infrastructure, housing and products. Capitalism works by supply and demand. The more demand, the more growth and jobs, whereas excess supply curbs growth and jobs. Taxes reduce demand as people can't afford as much, thus growth is curbed. This includes the rich who will cut back their plans for growth and hiring when taxes are raised on them, and they will expand when taxes are lowered. By the way, World War II was what brought the world out of the Great Depression, not FDR. The rich create jobs. So when they thrive, the poor thrive also by getting jobs or higher wages. Liberals act as if the economy is a fixed size and the rich getting richer makes the poor poorer. In reality, growth helps them both. And, yes, the profits of the rich increase, and the percentage or share of the wealth increases, but that does not change the fact that the poor are better off in such an environment. During Ronald Reagan's term as president, even without raising the minimum wage, family income rose by $3,000 to $12,000, when $5,000 could buy a new car. Virtually every single income group, including the poor and middle class, realized wage increases."
'WONDERFUL PEOPLE': The Rev. John A. Andrews is impressed by the kindness of a fellow who responded to the Mountains to Molehills item about the need for paperback books at Blue Ridge Prison & Jail Ministries. "A gentleman contacted us and donated 500 books," says Mr. Andrews. "After he found out about our Hot Dog and a Hug outreach to the families of inmates, he donated a beautiful stainless steel gas grill, a very much needed item. And more books are coming in. I am very impressed by the wonderful people of Hendersonville."
QUIPS A WISE GUY: "What do you call a fake noodle? An Impasta."
A HUBBY sent this text to his wife: "Honey, I'm just having one more beer with the guys. If I'm not home in 45 minutes, read this message again."
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Members of the Northview Church Student Ministry will have a very important yard sale fundraiser in the church parking lot Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Proceeds from the event will help fund their July mission trip to the Teen Challenge USA facility in Virginia Beach, Va. Although many items have been donated for the yard sale, the students are also asking for individuals to buy table space to sell their own items to make this a successful fundraiser. Table space is available for $15; two tables for $20. Reservations may be made by calling Stephanie Bennett at 551-3692.

Let's see, I'm John Travolta's PR guy and I need to make all these gay rumors go away. Let's see ... people loved "Grease," right? People feel good about Santa Claus, right?
For the first time since John Travolta was a big deal the first time around, he will reunite with Olivia Newton-John -- this time to do a holiday record for charity.
Will she wear those leather pants again for the video?
Then again, that was almost 35 years ago. Maybe a nice reindeer sweater or something would work better.
The "Grease" co-stars have recorded "This Christmas," a holiday album benefiting two charities close to their hearts.
Equal portions of the album's proceeds will go to the Jett Travolta Foundation, an organization named after Travolta's late son Jett seeking to combat children's disabilities including autism and seizures, and the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

Headlines for Thursday:
|Thesis: transcribe recordings
1. I want to be a mad inventor: 06:40
When I grow up, I want to be a mad inventor. Here's my reasoning:
- I *love* being creative. I love looking at something and thinking of what's cool about it, ways to improve it, and how to apply those ideas to other things. I want to exercise that creativity. Ideas are free and implementation is everything. I want to get better at taking a crazy idea from coffee-table napkin sketch to prototype and even to distribution.
- If we can tap the creative energies of other people, how wonderful can that be?
- I want microenterprises with global distribution to be popular in the future. I think that if we made it easier for people with an intimate knowledge of the market to create even simple products that meet those needs, then we can develop a lot of things without spending too much on advertising.
- Studies show that women generally earn less than men and lose about five years of earning potential for every year they stay at home, but are generally more inclined towards entrepreneurship. I want to figure out how to make things better for myself and then teach others.
- I want to have plenty of things to write and speak about, and constantly creating and refining things will give me plenty of material as well as practice my creativity.
Here's my plan for growing in this area:
# Spend my non-work time developing prototypes that I can do on my own and for which I can easily find people who will want it for free or for a small cost. This will give me practice in prototyping and start growing my distribution network.
# Learn how to sell things for a little bit more, and widen the distribution network. This will give me practice in creating value for people and making money in the process. This will also give me a crazy idea kitty.
# Use some of the crazy idea kitty to create a prototype of something that I'll need other people's help with, but which can easily be sold. This will give me practice in working with other people on an idea. Build up more capital.
# Work with investors to create a prototype of something that I'll need other people's help with, and sell this. This will teach me how to work with other people's money.
# Work with investors to widen the distribution of a few of these things by reaching mass distribution channels. This will teach me how to scale.
# Reach out to other potential inventors and help them connect with prototyping help, production help, and distribution.
I can start by developing things in my off time, but I'll eventually get to the point of wanting to focus on this full time, so I'll save up for a year's sabbatical.
I can also jump-start this by learning how to develop production and distribution networks, going to inventors' fairs, and connecting people. This may even get me commissions later on, which will help with my crazy idea kitty.
All of this is better done with others. I wonder where I can find inventors and other inventor-wannabes...

2. Plodding away on my thesis: 07:48
So I'm transcribing the interviews of the usability study. It's nice hearing the good things again, but I'm seriously thinking that this is not stuff I want to spend that many hours of my life on, even if it's classic research assistant work.
It takes me around 3 hours to transcribe a recording. Let's say that it takes other people longer to do that, say 5 hours. There are six recordings left. I should spend Friday looking for an audio transcription service based in the Philippines, or someone who's willing to do it.
Does anyone know how I can get this sorted out?

Wendie Malick stars as former soap star actress Victoria Chase in TV Lands hit sitcom, "Hot in Cleveland," which premieres its fourth season on Wednesday, November 28 at 10pm ET/PT. The series follows three fabulous friends from Los Angeles (Valerie Bertinelli), Jane Leeves and Malick) whose plane, bound for Paris, is forced to make an emergency landing in Cleveland. After discovering that theyre still "hot" in Cleveland, they decide to move there and start over together, renting a Victorian home that comes with a sharp-tongued caretaker, played by Betty White.
For seven seasons, Wendie Malick starred as Nina Van Horn, the outrageous ex-model and fashion editor, on the hit NBC sitcom "Just Shoot Me!" a role that earned her a Golden Globe(R) nomination and two Emmy(R) nominations. She then joined the final season of "Frasier" as Ronnie Lawrence (Frasiers stepmother). Other series roles include "Big Day," "Good Company" and HBOs groundbreaking comedy, "Dream On" (for which she received four CableACE Awards). Malick has also guest starred on "CSI," "The X-Files," "LA Law," "NYPD Blue," "Seinfeld," "Cybil" and "Law And Order," to name just a few. She starred in many movies for television, including "Take My Advice" (playing both Ann Landers and Abby Van Buren), "Hello Sister," "Goodbye Life," "Will You Merry Me?," "Apollo 11," "Dynasty: The Miniseries," "Paper Dolls" and "North Shore Fish," in a role she originated on stage.
Malicks feature film credits include "Adventureland," "Confessions of a Shopaholic," "Racing Stripes," "The American President," "The Emperors New Groove," "Jerome," "On Edge," "Trojan Wars," "Bugsy," "A Little Sex," "Funny About Love," the cult classic, "Mr. Mikes Mondo Video," "The Goods," "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel," "Adventures of a Teenage Dragon Slayer" and "Fifty-Nothing." In 2012, Malick filmed "After All the Years" for the Hallmark Channel.
Malicks theatrical Off-Broadway credits include "North Shore Fish" and "Burleigh Grimes." In Los Angeles, Malick appeared in Victor Bumbalo's "Questa" and Oliver Hailey's "Round Trip," for which she received an Artistic Director's Award nomination as Best Lead Actress. Also in Los Angeles, she appeared in "The Vagina Monologues," "Santaland Diaries," and Steve Martins "The Underpants." Her regional theatre credits include "The Guys" (Studio Arena), "Dont Blame Me, I Voted For Helen Gahagan Douglas" (Wooly Mammoth) and "Blithe Spirit" (Williamstown).
Malick has shared in many honors. In June 2011, Malick along with co-stars Bertinelli, Leeves and White was presented with the key to the city of Cleveland by the mayor. "Hot in Cleveland" was also nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award(R) for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series in 2011.
In 2000, Malick was honored by Women in Film as "A Woman of Vision" along with Tipper Gore, Gwen Ifills and Roseanne Barr. She is on the board of directors of both the Environmental Media Association and the Creative Coalition (which lobbies for the Arts), the Board of Advocates for Planned Parenthood (who honored her in 2006 as a Champion of Choice) and the Advisory Board of The Humane Society through their charitable gift fund, "A Drop in the Bucket." In addition, she and her husband, Richard Erickson, support a medical center in the Congo. They live in the Santa Monica Mountains with two horses and a dog.

Victoria Chase loves to be the center of attention, can't get enough compliments and is, as much as one can be, delightfully vain. For 27 years she played Honor St. Raven on the recently canceled daytime drama Edge of Tomorrow. She has five ex-husbands, three adopted children (she didnt want to ruin her figure) and one grandchild. She still suspects her third spouse may have been gay. Now in her early 50s, Victoria may be self-obsessed, but she's always there when her friends need her.

Dear friends,
Princeton Theological Seminary is known for the scholarship and commitment of its faculty, the strength of its Reformed heritage, and the conviction, courage, and compassion of its graduates. For nearly 200 years Princeton has prepared women and men to serve Jesus Christ in ministries marked by faith, integrity, scholarship, competence, compassion, and joy, equipping them for leadership worldwide in congregations and the larger church, in classrooms and the academy, and in the public arena.
Fulfilling that mission in today's world brings new challenges, challenges that require new emphases in training for ministry. Faithful leaders of today must see themselves not only as individuals taking up the call of God in their own lives, but also as members of communities who listen for the call of God in our collective life. Faithful leaders must not only be bound to their communities but also always at the border, listening and extending themselves to those outside the boundaries of their own creed, race, or economic class. And faithful leaders of today must not only be grounded in the integrity of the gospel, but also so grounded that they are not afraid of engaging with others in the rigors of respectful debate and just action.
The reconciling and transforming work of ministry is essential to our world today. As you follow God's call and discern how you will respond, consider how Princeton Seminary can help you develop the gifts, understanding, and imagination to lead God's people in a changing church and world. Welcome to the conversation.

When I moved to a neighborhood known as the "murder capital" of New York City, I figured it was only a matter of time before someone held a knife to my throat and demanded my wallet. I would hand it over, of course. It's only money, right? But it didn't happen like I thought it would. I left a Christmas party late one night and heard someone running behind me as I approached a subway entrance. When I whirled to look, I was struck with a heavy object. I tumbled down the staircase and scrambled to my feet -- still in possession of 30 cents and two subway tokens. Later, someone told me that I had been mugged. "Really?" I asked. "But he didn't get anything from me." What upset me most was that the mugger hadn't bothered to ask.
Back then I believed that most people would gladly hand over their wallets to save their own skins, or those of their grandchildren, but the recession and the corporate stranglehold on our political system have changed all that. Today Americans are so fixated on the economy that they're disregarding scientists' increasingly urgent warnings about the life-threatening nature of global warming. It isn't just polar bears that are in trouble: Researchers have calculated that temperatures could rise enough this century to transform many habitable regions of our planet into no-go zones for humans. The Climate Vulnerability Monitor 2012, a study commissioned by 20 at-risk nations, estimates that global warming already kills an average of 400,000 people annually -- most of them children -- mainly through its impacts on agriculture and climate-sensitive diseases. Climate also affects humans' ability to support themselves: A study published in February estimates that increased heat and humidity have already reduced humans' ability to work during the hottest months by 10 percent over the past few decades; this reduction in labor capacity is expected to double by 2050.
Continuing to expand the use of fossil fuels will only hasten our demise. Scientists opposed to the Keystone XL pipeline -- which if approved by the White House will carry tar-sands oil from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico -- call the project a "climate disaster."
In short, our lives are at stake. That should make protecting the environment a no brainer, even if it requires a financial sacrifice. Yet most Americans don't see it that way. Before 2008, Americans prioritized environmental protection over economic growth. In 2013, though, for the fifth consecutive year, a Gallup poll found Americans putting the economy ahead of the environment by a margin of 48 to 43 percent.
Gallup had asked whether protection of the environment should be given priority "even at the risk of curbing economic growth," or if economic growth should have priority "even if the environment suffers to some extent." Imagine if Gallup had asked the question a bit differently: "Should economic growth have priority over the air you breathe, the water you drink, the climate around your home, and the health of your family, even if those suffer to some extent?" Would nearly one in two Americans still say yes?
Apparently even the super-rich have more important things to worry about than heat waves and hurricanes. "You may be concerned about the temperature of the planet, but it's probably not rising to your No. 1 concern," President Obama told a group of wealthy donors at a dinner on April 3, according to a report in The New York Times. The politics of the environment are "tough," the president said, even though they're no tougher than the politics of health insurance, gay marriage, and immigration reform -- areas where Obama is making significant progress.
Obama could make headway on climate change, too, if he didn't put the economy ahead of the environment at every step: if he was willing to impose an EPA rule limiting emissions from new power plants, for example, or reject Keystone XL. When the going gets tough, the tough don't approve pipelines.
When did the economy become more important than life itself? In the new way of reckoning, a carbon tax to prevent the atmosphere's temperature from rising to dangerous levels would be "too expensive." So too would be a thorough cleanup after a nuclear attack or accident, which is why the White House has endorsed a plan to relax decontamination standards. The health of businesses, not of people, is what newscasters monitor daily, if not hourly -- as if the Dow Jones Industrial Average took the pulse of the nation, rather than that of 30 corporations.
In its focus on business, though, the media is simply reflecting US leadership and laws. The logic of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission -- the 2010 Supreme Court ruling that entitles corporations to some of the rights of personhood -- has since escalated to a new level: Some of our leaders see anything that menaces the health of corporations as an "existential" threat. In 2011, for example, Adm. Mike Mullen, then chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called cyber warfare "the single biggest existential threat that's out there...because cyber actually, more than theoretically, can attack our infrastructure, our financial systems."
At a cyber security conference in January 2013, FBI executive assistant director Shawn Henry, the agency's top cyber official, said the cyber risk is "existential, meaning it could eliminate whole companies." His concern for "consumers" seemed almost secondary, although he warned that hacking "could actually cause death."
A cyber attack could kill a lot of people -- by sabotaging networks that deliver food, fuel, and electricity, for example -- but the jury is still out on whether such an attack could ultimately make the planet unlivable. In the meantime, I find it odd (and scary) that some government officials and Internet security experts are expressing more concern for commerce than for the health and safety of humanity.
The existential threats that we face today, unlike my mugging, are not blows from out of the blue. Climate change already has us by the throat, but we can still choose to make the economic sacrifices that are required to keep our planet from overheating. Or we can hold tightly to our money and suffer the consequences.

RIDGELAND, Miss. – Oct. 1, 2013 – Tom Moorman, Ph.D., has been selected to replace the retiring Curtis Hopkins, Ph.D., as director of operations for Ducks Unlimited's Southern Region. Moorman will oversee DU's conservation delivery in 13 states.
"Tom has been a vital part of DU's conservation team for more than 20 years," said DU Chief Conservation Officer Paul Schmidt. "He has had a notable career serving in a number of capacities over that time, most recently as the director of science and public policy for DU's Southern Region."
Moorman came into the public spotlight as the leader of DU's Gulf Coast Oil Spill Response Team in 2010, but his contributions to wildlife management and conservation planning have been known in the field for some time.
Utilizing his extensive experience with waterfowl and wetland research and management, Moorman has guided DU's planning and evaluation within the 13-state Southern Region to strengthen the science underlying DU's conservation programs. By doing so, he has made a marked and tangible difference in the efficiency and impact of waterfowl habitat delivery across the migration and wintering grounds of the Central, Atlantic and Mississippi flyways.
"I am grateful for the opportunity to work in this new capacity with DU's conservation partners, dedicated volunteers and staff to meet the waterfowl and wetlands conservation challenges in some of the most important wintering and migration habitats in North America," Moorman said. "While we have made much progress together, there remains a lot of habitat restoration to be done to ensure the future of waterfowl and waterfowl hunting – two of my passions. I look forward to continuing that work as director of operations in the Southern Region."
Moorman received a Bachelor of Science from Ohio University, a master's in wildlife science from Auburn and a doctorate in wildlife ecology from the State University of New York. He has received a number of awards from within and outside DU, including the national 2012 Jim McDonough Award from The Wildlife Society.
Moorman will assume his new position on Nov. 1 and will continue working out of DU's Southern Regional Office in Ridgeland, Miss.
Ducks Unlimited Inc. is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 13 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

There was a solution I found on the Forums that allowed me to Stream again with this version. Since I use MEncoder, I entered this in the codec-specific parameters. It worked on the Xbox 360, but It also does not work on the PS3. So I pretty much have to sacrifice one system just to stream something. Another problem with this is that there is a slight delay between the Video and Audio. When playing 1080p MKVs, this is very noticeable and is quite annoying. In the Previous version I used, the video will catch up to the Audio If It detects that Its out-of-sync, but this one simply doesn't care and keeps playing.
- Code: Select all
container == iso :: -nosync
(container == avi || container == matroska) && vcodec == mpeg4 && acodec == mp3 :: -mc 0.1
container == flv :: -mc 0.1
container == mov :: -mc 0.1
container == rm :: -mc 0.1
container == matroska :: -lavcopts autoaspect=1:vcodec=wmv2:acodec=wmav2:abitrate=448:threads=2:keyint=5:vqscale=1:vqmin=2:vqmax=3:vrc_maxrate=54000:vrc_buf_size=1835 -nomux -mc 0
container == mp4 :: -lavcopts autoaspect=1:vcodec=wmv2:acodec=wmav2:abitrate=448:threads=2:keyint=5:vqscale=1:vqmin=2:vqmax=3:vrc_maxrate=54000:vrc_buf_size=1835 -nomux -mc 0
container == mp4 && vcodec == h264 :: -mc 0.1
My PS3 and Xbox 360 are wired with Cat5e and my Desktop is also wired. Pretty much there's no problems there. My Router is a D-Link DIR-601 running DD-WRT. And here is my PC Specs
CPU: Intel Core i5 2310 2.9 GHz
RAM: KINGSTON DDR3-1333 MHz 4+4 GB (8 GB Total[b/])
[b]GRAPHIC CARD: Inno3D NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 550 Ti
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64
Anyways, I would appreciate It If I get a response. The Xbox 360 Transcoder is broken in this Build and MKVs and other Formats encounter A/V sync issues. I do not want to downgrade back to 1.60 because getting It to work on the PS3 is more of a headache. At least they fixed the PS3 Transcoder in this Build, but at the same time the Xbox 360 Transcoder breaks.

Having an 18 hole course thrust down their throats is going to make them look for problems, blaming the course for every negative event that happens in the park and no amount of good will we promote will change their minds.
How about going ahead with the 9-hole plan, concentrate on ecologically sensitive design and construction practices, let people get used to the course and realize it's a good thing. At that point, if it seems like the right thing to do, an expansion can be proposed.

"Rocking Our Sales" by Bruce ServicePack and the Vista Street Band: It'll make you cringe. And want to downgrade to XP. (Oh, wait already did?)
My next computer will be a Mac. If I need games, I'll get Parallels to boot up XP on those rare occasions.
Currently, I'll running XP on my desktop and Ubuntu on my laptop. I love Ubuntu.
Even with the many improvements made to Linux OSes over the last decade plus, Ubuntu is not for the faint of heart. But, if you can get it into shape and working, it provides all the power you need for web development.

Tangy, sweet, apple-cidery vinaigrette
Caramelized, crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside Brussels sprouts
Buttery toasted, citrusy Panettone croutons, seasoned with sage, thyme and freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Crispy, smoky and salty bacon bits
Cold, bold and crunchy radicchio
Sound interesting? It was truly a unique and delicious salad and quite striking in appearance. I think this would be a fantastic salad to serve at upcoming holiday dinner parties, don't you?
Panettone Panzanella with Bacon and Brussels Sprouts
Apple Vinaigrette:
2 TBSP butter
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, quarter, cored, cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup sweet onion, diced
1 tsp honey
1/2 cup apple cider (may not need all of this)
9 cups 3/4" cubes Panettone
1/4 cup butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 TBSP fresh sage, chopped
2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
6 TBSP grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
1 10 oz head of radicchio, halved cored, sliced
12 ounces center cut bacon, cooked crisp, crumbled (I did mine in the oven at the same time I roasted the Brussels sprouts.)
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved
2 TBSP olive oil
For the vinaigrette:
In a medium heavy skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add apples and diced onion and saute until brown, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Cover and cook until apples are completely cooked and soft. Place apples, onions and pan juices into a blender and let cool for a bit. Add honey, oil and vinegar and process until smooth. Add cider a little bit at a time until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper.
For the croutons:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place Panettone cubes into a large bowl. In a small skillet, melt butter then add garlic, sage and thyme. Saute for a minute or two, until fragrant. Pour butter mixture over the Panettone and toss to coast. Sprinkle cheese over all and season with salt and pepper. Spread cubes onto prepared baking sheet. Bake until pale golden, about 6-8 minutes, stirring halfway through bake time. Do not over brown these. You'll want them golden and crispy on the outside, but still soft on the inside. Cool on baking sheet.
For the salad:
Place radicchio in a large bowl of ice water. Chill for at least an hour.
Oven roast the Brussels sprouts at the same time you're toasting your croutons. Toss Brussels sprouts with the 2 TBSP olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes or until lightly caramelized. Remove from oven and set aside until ready to use. You'll want these at room temperature.
Combine croutons, bacon and Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Drain radicchio very well and then add to salad. Add vinaigrette to coat, tossing to blend well.

not a waterproof, nor water resistant bagif you are planing to take this bag out in rain, please dont. This is neither waterproof nor water resistant. I had a very bad experience with this bag. Even in normal rain, water seeped into the compartments and whole base was wet, making my laptop wet too.

PROTECTA BAZIC ZIP QUALITYAlthough its a compact bag but ip quality of this bag is not good every-time it stuck while zipping. This problem is something which you will see once the bag is in your hand.

Pretty good for the price..Just got this bag. First of all, it looks pretty good. At this price, I really feel its value for money. There's a really good padding at the bottom...ideal for a laptop backpack. The only thing I feel could have been better is the zip...the pull tab of the zip looks a bit fragile because it's fastened with just a knot...only time will tell how well it holds up.

Good buy!!!For such a price the bag is certainly a good buy.The build quality and the form factor score a fair mark with this bag.The material is pretty good,the cushioning on the back support and shoulder straps is very good and comfortable,the support padding in the laptop pocket is fairly good especially when considering the price but the bag falls only a bit short of space.So if you're one of the space hungry bag users it may not be such a good thing to go in for.The bag could have done with a few more pockets but is satisfactory nevertheless.The main drawback is the bag's zip which feels very rigid… (Expand)

Good Product, Best you can get if your budget is < 700I've been using this product (blue & black version) for 5 months now. Got it for 666 rs. The red and black version was nearly 800 rs at that time. Now its 657 rs..I would personally go for red & black version for its looks are better than blue & black.

Bad experience with the bag....!!!I really cannot relate to the above reviews, because i had a horrible experience using this bag. I ordered this bag around 8 months back, with the intention of using it daily to college. However I hardly used the bag as the need did not arise. However,when the time came, the zip of the bag gave way right in the middle of a trip. The zip does not function smoothly.It gets stuck all the time. Just like its price, the quality of the bag is cheap too..!! its advisable to invest in a better, branded and a little expensive bag so that they don't zip off..right when you are travelling. Will be dumpi… (Expand)

Folk Shawls: 25 Knitting Patterns and Tales from Around the World
by Cheryl Oberle
Buy it Now at Amazon.com
Shawls represent the most basic folklore and clothing traditions around the world.Folk Shawls
This is Cheryl Oberle's first book of patterns, although she has dedicated most of her life to knitwear design.
Around the World
The book is a globe-trotting compilation of 25 shawl patterns from around the world. Each pattern includes a brief description of its folklore or a general overview of shawls from that geographic region.
Solid Materials
Oberle demonstrates what I consider true maturity in her selection of yarns. Her patterns call for yarns appropriate to the region or traditions of the pattern. Only once does she specify her own yarn -- Cheryl Oberle Designs Dancing Colors -- and the context is entirely appropriate.
Easy to Follow
Oberle writes with a conversational tone that is pleasant and easy to follow. In many instances she pauses to explain technique in different terms so that you stand a better chance of understanding.
Shawls range in shapes from triangular to rectangular and square, with difficulty level ranging from easy beginner garter stitch to mind-numbingly complicated lace and cables.
"I have enjoyed Cheryl Oberle's Folk Shawls very much. It is a great book to just browse through and read how connected knitting patterns are to local culture. Then you see how timeless and placeless the designs are. I have one project going from this book and expect to make many others." pkegh, 7/30/2001
"I love Cheryl's 'Folk Shawls' book. I have had a hankering to knit a lace shawl, and she has some lovely ones. I'll agree, some are mind-numbingly complex. She also has some simpler, sturdier, more practical ones, such as the Prairie Shawl from America. I have a few books on shawls, but this is my favorite." Joygetha, 5/23/2001

I'm training for my first triathlon, and know nothing about proper etiquette. If you anyone has completed a triathlon before, do you have any pet peeves or mistakes that
first timers usually make that get under your skin. I don't want to make the same mistakes. Also accepting any inside tips that may make my first time go more smoothly.
get there early and set up your stuff in transition - do not move anyone elses stuff withotu asking first. don't show up late and push others stuff out of the way. this is not a good way to make freinds.
learn the rules of the road for the race. know the course! on the bike stay right unless passing, stay out of everyones draft, do not stay to the left and block other riders, see the usat website for al lthe rules
if you're not a strong swimmer start towards the back and outside and avoid being swum over.
have fun and ask questions trigeeks are a pretty friendly bunch and are usually more than happy to help out a newbie
goals for 2011:
break 19minutes for 5k
break 2:42 for olympic triathlon probably Anthracite olympic
break 3:16 for marathon ( a long shot but it's fun putting yourself out there)
Well, I was a newbie (and still am) in my only triathlon experience... but I am an experienced swimmer and was a tiny bit annoyed by a couple of things I saw in the pool-swim at my tri.
One... don't lie badly about your swim time to avoid being too far back after the swim. I entered my race with a 6:30 entry time and finished with a 6:40 or so in the 400 meter swim that started my tri last year. I shouldn't be passing people after 50 meters with 15 second increments even if I did go out too fast... but I was doing just that (and passed 4 people before 150 meters and 7 or 8 people overall). Just tell the truth about your time... there's no gain to embellishing.
and Two... if you do have to stop at a wall during the swim... try to get out of the way. No reason to block those who are not stopping.
Not big deals... just something to think about.
Know the competition rules such no MP3/iPods or drafting and impedence on the bike. I think it is useful to spectate or volunteer at a triathlon first to get a feel on how it goes; setting up your transition area, getting off your wetsuit (if you are using one), mounting and dismounting the bike outside of transition, how to move quickly and efficiently from one disparate sport to another, etc. Relax and have fun. Many posters here are happy to answer any and all questions (there are no stupid ones...questions that is) as we were all newbies at some point.
I totally agree that watching a triathlon is very helpful. Volunteering at one is even better. I helped out as kayak support for the Xterra a month before I did the Iron Girl, and just seeing the pros swimming as well as the slower swimmers helped me with my nerves. I didn't get to see the T1 since I was on the water, but I did get to watch the T2. One thing, don't try to watch the pros transition, they do it so fast if you blink you'll miss it. Just watch the age-groupers and you'll get a good idea of what to expect when your turn comes.
All good tips there, I would also say don't take it personally if, actually when, you get kicked in the swim.
try your best to not impede others, if you need to break get out of the way. We all have gone too hard on one leg or another and bonked. don't take others out of their rythm by staying in front of them. mostly have fun yourself, when you're racing with a smile everyone around you gains from you just being there.
One last, for your very first T1, find a spot to the outsides of the transition area, less likely to get run over.
I can't really think of anything that has annoyed me at a race. On the bike, pass on the left and call out "on your left" as you are passing. If you aren't passing anyone stay to the right. The transisition area can be confusing depending on how close the bikes are spaced and how things are set up, so you might want to ask the people who are on the rack next to you if you've got your stuff set up right so you aren't in their way. I think as long as you aren't afraid to ask questions and you let people know your a newbie, you'll be fine.

SAN JOSE -- Lattice Semiconductor has struck a lease deal that would allow the tech firm to expand its South Bay operations.
The semiconductor company has leased about 100,000 square feet on Onel Drive in San Jose, said Joe Bedewi, Lattice's chief financial officer.
"We needed more space," Bedewi said. "We will have more room, everybody together, all the operations in one place."
Oregon-based Lattice is vacating 70,000 square feet in San Jose to occupy the larger building.
"We have been doing some hiring," Bedewi said. "We do have room to grow at this new facility."
Lattice intends to undertake core research at the complex.
"San Jose is a key research and development site for us," Bedewi said. "San Jose is critical to our future."
Lattice now has about 200 employees in San Jose. Its workforce could approach the 250 level by the time the company moves into the new offices about six months from now.
"It's good to see semiconductor companies growing in the region," said Chad Leiker, a vice president with Kidder Mathews, a commercial realty firm. "You see software, Internet, social networking, social media, mobile tech companies, Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) growing, so it's nice to see semiconductor companies also growing."
City officials have attempted to coax tech companies to move to north San Jose by cutting development fees, making it more cost-effective to develop properties in the area.
"We are seeing a lot of activity in north San Jose," said Kim Walesh, the city's economic development director. "There is a noticeable uptick in activity."

Senators Agree to 'Border Surge,' 700-Mile Fence
Posted June 20th, 2013 @ 11:18am by Kevin Spak, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – How do you get Republicans to sign onto an immigration bill? You build a danged fence—a lot of danged fence. A bipartisan group of senators has agreed to bolster the border security provisions in the Senate's immigration reform bill, in the hopes of winning over more GOP votes, sources tell NBC News. The deal would double the size of the border patrol and mandate 700 miles of border fencing, in what the senators are terming a "border surge."

Google Earnings Preview: Sizing Up Wall Street's Estimates Trickier Than Usual
Google investors appear to be getting a tad worried ahead of this afternoon's earnings report.
Shares are down again Tuesday, on pace for a fourth-straight decline and sixth drop in the last seven sessions. The stock has lost more than 5% throughout the recent skid as investors prep for the search giant to unveil its quarterly results.
Google has a history of volatile trading on the days following its earnings reports. When the company beats earnings estimates, the stock has averaged a 2.7% gain the following day, according to Bespoke Investment Group. When it misses, the stock has averaged a 7.9% decline day after.
Those circumstances were on full display during Google's last earnings report, when results were released earlier than usual. In October, Google's third-quarter profit missed analysts' expectations by a wide margin, and the company also warned that a growing shift toward mobile searches could be hitting its top line. Shares fell 8% that day.

- Google Joins the $800 Club; Number Four, for the Record
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters currently project Google to report fourth-quarter earnings of $10.47 a share, on revenue of $12.3 billion.
Complicating matters, though, is the results may be a bit funkier than usual.
Google warned on Friday that Wall Street analysts may not have properly accounted for the company's recent sale of its Motorola set-top box division — Motorola Home. Brent Callinicos, chief accountant at Google, said the company will extract the sales and profit results for Motorola Home from its overall results and account for them as "discontinued operations." Google last month agreed to sell the Motorola Home business to Arris Group for roughly $2.35 billion. Google previously had acquired Motorola Home as part of its $12.4 billion purchase of Motorola Mobility.
"People who follow our company may not be fully aware of how it impacts our financial reporting," he said, noting "a majority of Wall Street analysts" who cover Google haven't properly accounted for Motorola Home in their overall estimates.
Still, analysts remain fairly optimistic that Google's numbers won't disappoint.
"Based on our checks and industry data points, we expect Google to report generally in-line results (excluding divestiture of Motorola Home)," Aaron Kessler, an analyst at Raymond James, wrote to clients on Tuesday, while maintaining a $775 price target.
One metric to keep an eye on is Google's expenses BGC Partners Colin Gillis says he "remains concerned on the degree of expense being created" by Google venturing into smartphones, tablets, and broadband Internet access. He estimates expenses increased by 65% last month, compared to revenue growth of 43%.
"In a quarter when holiday shopping typically propels Google results, we expect the burden of Motorola's expense and lackluster revenue, combined with low-to-no margin nexus hardware sales, to produce results muddier than the past," Gillis says.

I met with the city park's department and we need to put in hole 17's tee pad. This is a hillside tee pad so we need to build up one side and level it off. Also we will be trying to build a wall to back fill with dirt so there is a drop off on another pin placement. Closest pin placement around here that is an example would be Hole 1 at Shaver but the wall would be behind the basket and be a larger drop off. It would hopefully be like an island for the pin placement.
The city is ready to order baskets but we will need to build sleeves for the pins and place them in the ground.
They are also looking for a date for an early spring tournament next year so things are starting to roll along.
Shovels are needed. Thanks

the latest nightly/development build fixes the bugs discussed below. it can be downloaded from here; http://cogx.org/nightly_builds/Cog-r519.tbz or installed through cog's integrated sparkle-based updating system.
Note: if Cog crashes on opening because of a dead file in its playlist, it'll crash everytime you open it. To solve this, you have to be quick: open Cog and while the playlist is loading, do a cmd-a to select all, then backspace to empty the playlist, then close Cog. If you're fast enough, this should work. :)
v. 0.06 crashes on opening in case a file in the playlist can't be found (ie: it has been moved or deleted.)
It also crashes when adding some Flac files to the playlist, not sure why.
But still, it's a good and very promising audio player! :)
@ xaphirezst:
Tag is a nice metadata editor for FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, Monkey's Audio and WavPack files.
You'll find Tag here:
I wonder if I can change audio tags with this?
new release, 0.06 stable, grab it at; http://www.cogx.org
people, people, try out the latest development releases... cog only gets better and better.
I agree, those are features that should be implemented, but notice the version: 0.0.5---still got a long ways to go! Be patient :)
I'm not so impressed. How on earth can it be that they left out the "repeat single track" function? And where is the "auto play when opened" function?
Yes, I must say I'm impressed with the development of this app. The latest build has got some cool new features, showing much promise for its future.

BikesIt is easy to find any number of bicycles around town, but not all of them are appropriate for use on an RV trip. Few people take racing bikes on the road with them, and they really aren't particularly comfortable for casual rides around town. Size and comfort are much more important than speed and weight when you want a bike for your RV. This is why we carry a line of specialized bicycles.
Many of our bikes fold up, making them easier to pack in your cargo box. We even have a folding tandem bike so you can enjoy a ride for two. Have a rider that isn't as stable as they would like to be? Pick a folding trike. With or without speeds, our cruisers offer lots of comfort where it counts and electric assists lets everyone keep up.
Make a family ride part of your next trip and make new memories along the road.

Oscars Ignore Asia, Again
The Oscars have shut out Asia.
When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announces its nominations next month, there won't be an Asian title among the five nominees for best foreign-language film.
The academy this year received 71 films from around the world that qualified for the category, including Korean director Kim Ki-duk's "Pieta," which snared the Golden Lion for best film at Venice in September. The academy this month released its short list of nine films for the foreign-language category — which it had narrowed down from the eligible submissions — but Asia didn't make the cut.

The snub to Asia is a disappointment for the region, particularly China, which has been seeking to expand the presence of Chinese movies in overseas markets. At home, the country in recent years has seen huge growth in audience numbers and ticket sales. Ernst & Young said in a recent report that China's box office is expected to surpass that of the U.S. by 2020.
Other notable Asian films that had been submitted this year for Oscar consideration included China's "Caught in the Web" from celebrated director Chen Kaige; Hong Kong filmmaker Johnnie To's "Life Without Principle," which picked up three prizes at last month's Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan; director Jun Robles Lana's "Bwakaw" from the Philippines; Taiwan's "Touch of the Light," which won best new director for Chang Jung-chi at the Golden Horse Awards; and Thai director Pen-ek Ratanaruang's "Headshot."
Last year, one Asian film, "Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale," was short-listed but failed to be included among the final five nominees.
The most-recent Asian movie to be nominated in the foreign-language category was Japan's "Departures" in 2009, about an out-of-work musician who takes up a job as an encoffiner performing the ceremonial rites to prepare a corpse for burial. It won the award that year.
Next week, a pair of committees in Los Angeles and New York will screen all nine short-listed films to choose the five nominees. Movies making the short list include the acclaimed Austrian film "Amour," which won the top prize at Cannes this year, and the French hit "The Intouchables." The Academy will announce its nominations on Jan. 10, and its awards ceremony will be held Feb. 24.
This year's short list:
- Austria: "Amour"
- Canada: "War Witch"
- Chile: "No"
- Denmark: "A Royal Affair"
- France: "The Intouchables"
- Iceland: "The Deep"
- Norway: "Kon-Tiki"
- Romania: "Beyond the Hills"
- Switzerland: "Sister"
