I have alot of made up guitar stuff which id love to make into actual songs but its difficult to make up lyrics which go with it :/ does anyone have any techniques?
How to you put lyrics to music?
|Posted on
It's hard to explain but try and find out what mood the song is. For example, if it has a lamenting tone (like a ballad), upbeat tone etc.
Then try and figure out words that gel together, that fit the rhythm and mood of the song.
Or count the beats of the music and slot in any random words so at least you have a melody and know how many beats per line you need and go from there.
If you're writing a song that's personal to you, an expression of your heart, I know it sounds like such a cliche but just put all your emotions from your heart and see which words you come out with.
It's difficult to explain! Sorry if none of this makes sense to you at all. I just didn't really know how else to put it! It is such a difficult thing to do!
Good Luck!
writing lyrics can be incredibly frustrating. i find myself spending weeks, even months at a time getting nowhere. i think it's important not to rush it, and be patient. inspiration will eventually come.
also, a rhyming dictionary can be invaluable. you can use online ones for free - i usually use one called RhymeZone.
i find it really helpful if as soon as i get an idea for a song, whether it's lyrics or chords, or even just a topic i want to write about, if i get a piece of paper or a notebook (preferably bigger, like A4), and jot down absolutely everything that comes into my head. then you have a solid foundation to work on later, and you can kind of piece your ideas together, almost like a jigsaw. also, if you have a sheet of paper with loads of ideas just scribbled all over it, like lyrics, chord charts or whatever, it looks really creative, which i think helps, haha!
recently, i discovered that i like writing lyrics in a cafe. the prospect of writing lyrics seems much easier when you're halfway through a latte! the downside of this, of course, is that i can't bring my guitar in, but i find the atmosphere very helpful for writing lyrics.
i hope this was helpful! writing lyrics is really difficult, but really good fun and rewarding. good luck, and enjoy!

High School Art Teacher: Job Description and Education Requirements
High school art teachers must have some formal education. Learn about the schooling, job duties and licensure requirements to see if this is the right career for you.
Essential Information
High school art teachers instruct students on drawing, art history and painting. They use class time to help students build skills and show personal expression through art. At the bachelor's degree level, candidates for this job study the arts, art history and education. Public high school art teachers must be state-licensed; the following article explains this process in further detail.
|Required Education
|Other Requirements
|State license required for public school positions
|Projected Job Growth (2012 - 2022)*
|6% for secondary school teachers
|Median Salary (2013)*
|$55,360 annually for secondary school teachers
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Job Description for High School Art Teachers
High school art teachers oversee basic, intermediate and advanced art classes for teenage students. These courses include basic drawing, painting and ceramics projects that allow participants to build a portfolio of work. High school art instructors might also teach art history lessons and critical thinking skills. In addition to teaching their elective, high school art teachers might be called on to monitor hallways and lunchrooms or to oversee homeroom classes.
Education Requirements
Becoming a high school art teacher requires completing a bachelor's degree program in art or art education along with classes on general education. All secondary school education programs, regardless of the major, require the completion of a teacher assistant internship. They often allow students to specialize in the grade levels they wish to teach, such as K-8 or 5-12. Participants study human development, learning issues, classroom management, curriculum development, pupil assessment, critical thinking and teaching resources. In an art or art education program, students take studio classes to practice in areas such as sculpture or painting. They are expected to develop an art portfolio.
Licensure Information
All teachers working in public schools are required to be licensed by the state in which they intend to teach. Prerequisites vary by state, but common requirements for teacher licensure includes completing an accredited teacher education degree program and taking skill-assessment tests. Candidates must typically take the PRAXIS I test and submit those scores as a part of the licensure process. Scores from the PRAXIS II test, which is taken upon graduating from a teacher-education program, must also be submitted for licensure. Aspiring high school art teachers commonly take the PRAXIS II-Art Content Knowledge exam; some states might also require licensee prospects to pass the PRAXIS II-Art Content, Traditions, Criticism and Aesthetics exam.
Employment Outlook and Salary Information
In 2013, secondary school teachers, including art teachers, earned an annual median salary of $55,360. At that time, the highest paying states included New York, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Alaska. The BLS predicts that employment growth for high school teachers will be slower than other areas of education, with only a 6% increase from 2012-2022. The best opportunities may be found in the West and South of the U.S., and in rural or urban areas, the BLS suggests.


text: Auckland - New Zealander Thomas Waldrom voiced pride at his "crazy" call-up to the England squad on Monday and said his family would be celebrating if he makes his debut during the Rugby World Cup.The 28-year-old back-rower from Wellington, who moved to England last year and found out he was eligible to represent the country only months ago, said he was determined to make the most of his chance."It's a big honour. If I get an opportunity to play it will be a very big honour and my family will be very proud of me as well," he said."It's just one of those things. It's a big turnaround but I'm just pleased to grab it at this stage of my career."The Leicester Tigers player admitted it had been a "pretty crazy" few days after he received the surprise call-up as cover for the injured Nick Easter, and was then added to the squad as a replacement for Andrew Sheridan.Waldrom discovered only months ago that he could play for England because of an English grandmother, but he was then hit by a calf injury during a pre-World Cup training camp.It was been a head-spinning turn of events for a player who arrived at Leicester thinking he would have to wait three years to become eligible for England through residency.However, Waldrom is realistic about his prospects of making his international debut in his home country."I knew the deal when I was coming out, I could only be here for a little stint and then have to go home," he said. "But you do anything you can to get this opportunity and it's here now so I'm pretty happy to be here."

100 billion dollar bills from Zimbabwe will get you a loaf of bread in that country, or $80 from a collector on eBay. "Official inflation is quoted at 2.2 million percent but independent finance houses say it's closer to 12.5 million percent."[AOL]
"Okay then. We hold the world ransom for 100 BILLION DOLLARS!"
man that is really scary, its unbelievable.
wonder how much $ (in usd) it would cost to get them back on their feet.
@tenio: An infinite amount. Mugabe has no interest in reducing hyperinflation in Zimbabwe, it is of no political or national interest to him. For one, it secures political control, second, it is a useful charge against the British (Mugabe's government claims that British imperialism and Western meddling is to blame for the hyperinflation), and it makes government weapons trade much easier. With a dictatorial socialist tyrant, no Western aid can rescue the poorest and unhealthiest country in the world (which Zimbabwe has become under Mugabe and ZANU-PF — what once was the strongest economy in post-colonial Africa with one of the highest life expectancies [60-years-old in 1990], now has the lowest per capita income on Earth [$188/year] and the lowest life expectancy [34-years-old in 2007]).
It's a nightmare. Oh, but Mugabe was re-elected on June 29th with 100% of the vote! Go progress!
:doctor evil pinky pose: One hundred billion dollars….
Fiat currency. Coming to a country near you soon!
At what point does it become less expensive to go back to trading shiny rocks than it does to print all the zeros on the paper currency? I wonder if those people actually have anything smaller than billion dollar bills.
"socialist" ?
It's like Snow Crash, but without the pizza, computers, and hacker-samurai.
Don't worry, in 500 years this is what our currency will look like.
@A.W.E.S.O.M.-O: First post in and the Dr. Evil reference is shown. Good show! =D
@MichaelBrazell: @FCAlive: Not socialist. More a monarchy. He's taken land from whites to "redistribute" to blacks. He's also considering nationalizing companies from contries that oppose his policies. But, he's giving it to a few powerful families and allies. So he's using socialist spin, but imperial actions.
@MayorBee: Dude, your tests came back, and the results aren't good.
Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin', but, ah… it says on your chart that you're fucked up. Ah, you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded.
Hey, was this caused by sub-prime lending?
@Parapraxis: Don't be a dick. i wish there was a way to report douchebaggery on this site.
@wattznext: It's vaguely funny if you've seen Idiocracy. Go rent it.
@Parapraxis: Go away, m'batin!
@wattznext: Like howie says, go rent Idiocracy. It's strangely prophetic.
@wattznext: *whoooooosh*
@MayorBee: But it's got what people want. It's got eletrolytes!
@blong81: I'm calling my pimp, Upgrayedd. He spells it with 2 D's, for a double dose of pimpin'.
@Parapraxis: Yay, our first clear-cut ban hammer nominee!
@wattznext: Go rent Idiocracy. One- You will understand all these comments and two – you will get to see into america's bright future. Its win win!
@Trai_Dep: The quote might have been crude, but I don't think it's any reason for a banning. I laughed at it. Everyone should see Idiocracy. It actually extrapolates out a lot of the issues that we have now after 500 years.
I think this whole post should get a blind eye from the moderators. :-P
@Parapraxis: Why come you don't have a tatoo?!
Bank transfers command a special rate. A hundred billion dollars is worth US$5 at the official rate, US$1 at the black market rate _ but just 30 U.S. cents in a transfer because by the time the funds are processed the Zimbabwe currency can be expected to be worth a lot less.
Surely it costs more for the Zimbabwe mint to print the money than the money is worth, especially at a 12.5-million% inflation rate.
I've read that Zimbabweans try to do most of their transactions in foreign currency where possible. Of course, they usually get paid in domestic currency, so that isn't always workable.
I recall from a history class that during Germany's hyperinflation that workers often got paid 3 times a day (and received raises each time) because the money they were paid at the beginning of the day was worthless by the end of the day.
And then there's always that picture of the lady feeding her cash into her fireplace since the money was worth more in fuel than it was as money.
Its got what plants crave.
@MichaelBrazell: Yeah, but he sure was pissed when his one opponent backed out in an attempt to stop violence and save lives. So he got 100% of the votes… against no one. Woo hoo. You go, evil dictator. Oh, I'm sorry, I mean evil "elected president".
idiocracy, loved that movie.
would you like some BIG ASS FRIES WITH THAT
"carls Jr….Fark you I'm eating"
I could go for a full release latte at starbucks
@MichaelBrazell: Erm… weren't his detractors cut down with machetes? Yeah, I might not be out voting against the guy if his cronies were threatening to slash open my skull.
Those who can have fled to South Africa. What a disaster.

Charles Sturts University, Wagga Wagga, Australia. Proceedings of the 4th World Congress on Allelopathy. P. 107-113. Technical Abstract: Little is known concerning the mode of action of allelochemicals or plant defense responses mounted against them. Theoretically, changes in the expression of genes encoding the primary target or other proteins in the same pathway should occur soon after phytotoxin exposure. Defense responses, such as the induction of genes involved in chemical detoxification, may occur later, depending on the nature of the chemosensors which presumably exist in plant cells. A battery of xenobiotic defense-associated genes are dramatically induced in Arabidopsis following exposure to an array of structurally-unrelated xenobiotics, including herbicides, allelochemicals, herbicide safeners, and environmental pollutants. These genes are unlikely to be strongly linked to the mode of action of a specific phytotoxin, but rather constitute a coordinately-controlled xenobiotic defense gene network. Transcriptional profiling experiments using microarrays are being conducted to examine the effects of various herbicides and natural phytotoxins on the Arabidopsis transcriptome. Approaches to analyzing microarray data to determine potential target sites for phytotoxins whose primary mode of action is unknown will be discussed.

government has set challenging, yet attainable, targets for energy consumption
in new developments. By the year 2016, all new homes are to be zero carbon.
Additionally, by the year 2019, all new commercial buildings too need to
be zero carbon. The construction industry needs to respond to the
challenge, and embrace a new era of design whilst maintaining a cost effective
framework for investors and developers.
This is an
exciting time for forward thinking designers and developers. The buildings of
today will secure an energy efficient future. The benefits of low carbon design
are numerous low running costs, alleviating fuel poverty, increased comfort,
and of course reduced emissions.
emphasis is being placed on renewable energy generation onsite, whilst
air-tightness and thermal bridging are being highlighted as improvement areas
for thermal performance of new buildings.
A vital
ingredient in the planning approval package is the Part L Compliance report.
This is the fundamental document underlining all things energy within a
specified building. A well thought out approach is necessary when producing
this report, as well as sound technical knowledge of approved software, in our
case Integrated Environmental Systems (IES).
alongside the design team, the energy consultant will advise on certain passive
features of the building which could have a large influence on the overall
energy performance. Thereafter key building elements and equipment will be
selected to create a building that performs to the given criteria. A number of
computer models will be generated to test different combinations of equipment,
insulation levels and lighting levels.
The outcome
is an optimised scenario for year round low energy use. Keeping Blue aims to
always improve on the TER (target emission rate), rather than simply aiming for
a pass.
We can come
alongside the design team at any point in the process, from pre-planning to
late changes required in order to meet As Built requirements. Keeping Blue is
able to offer very reasonable fees, most of our work can be completed in-house
however we are also able to outsource to trusted specialists for specific work
(eg BREEAM, CfSH).
A new
building can often be seen as a clean canvas, with infinite scope for end use
and fitting out. Designing an HVAC with flexibility for future use is key
to ensuring a comfortable environment, as well as efficient usage.
With this in
mind, we offer advice based on experience of systems which have worked well in
the past, combined with innovative new technologies that improve efficiency and
overall building performance. These include Combined Heat and Power systems,
Ground Source Heat Pumps (pictured), Building Management Systems, Lighting
Sensors, Multi Split Systems to name a few.
For many,
HVAC equipment should do it's job without being seen or heard. This is an ideal
which can only come close to being achieved through sensible selection and
positioning of equipment. Trust Keeping Blue to offer the right advice for your
What does a
zero carbon home look like? What about a zero carbon school, or gymnasium? And
how can these be built at a feasible cost? These are questions that need to be
answered in the next 3 - 6 years, or else the entire construction industry
could come to a grinding halt.
With the use
of the approved software package, IES Virtual Environment, we are able to
analyse the optimal approach for zero carbon achievement, whilst utilising
existing technology and keeping capital outlay to a minimum.
Indeed, the
technology does already exist to turn the zero carbon dream into a reality, and
over the next few years with demand bringing prices down, zero carbon will
become the norm. The future has arrived, so to speak.
Going back to
1st principles is the key approach taken by the energy consultant. The saying
'garbage in, garbage out' is certainly true of building energy modelling
software, thus it is often beneficial to perform initial calculations using
fundamental formulae and equations.
A rule of
thumb approach can often lead to oversized equipment being installed. Take the
scenario where a pump is initially designed with a safety factor incorporated,
sometime later the pump is replaced with a slightly larger model, once again to
be on the safe side, and this pattern repeats itself. The knock-on effect is a
building with equipment running inefficiently at low duty - at a higher cost.
This can be avoided through our trusted approach.
Following the
initial calculations, we offer professional building energy modelling services,
including Part L assessments. The building is initially modelled based on the
architects drawings, these can be submitted as CAD's or PDF's. From here the
building model is transferred into the energy modelling software, where a full
analysis can be performed. Details such as insulation levels, lighting levels,
HVAC equipment, building usage etc are all included to create a simulation of
the annual energy performance of the building.
with low carbon in mind is becoming increasingly important. Buildings are being
designed with future energy prices in mind. It is no longer possible to obtain
planning permission based on high insulation levels and double glazing. The
energy balancing act is becoming increasingly tricky, and energy designers need
to keep the overall picture in mind at all times. Part L targets are not easily
met, however with inventive passive design features and the use of appropriate
low carbon technologies, an excellent emissions rating can be achieved.
If you would
like Keeping Blue to be a part of your design team, please do not hesitate to contact us.

For most of the 19th and early 20th century, Pennsylvania was the world leader in developing new products and turning them into highly successful businesses. The entrepreneurial leaders are legendary -- H.J. Heinz, Milton Hershey, Andrew Carnegie and in Huntingdon, J. C. Blair, a small-town bookstore owner who developed the writing tablet and built it into a major company. These individuals started businesses that they grew in Pennsylvania. Why not -- they were Pennsylvanians.
In the second half of the 20th century, Pennsylvania began a new approach to job creation - providing tax incentives to attract companies to the state. As more states followed Pennsylvania's strategy, the outcome became more expensive and less effective.
Now, at the beginning of the 21st century, Juniata College is rethinking how to improve the economy by taking inspiration from those entrepreneurs of the past. Today, the new economy requires intelligent and hard working individuals to develop and grow businesses and often relies on the intellectual capital found in colleges and universities.
The entrepreneurial synergy generated by students of diverse interests and backgrounds will inspire ideas that can work on a local, regional, or global scale.
The Juniata College Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership aims not only to create new businesses in a community with a great quality of life, but also to create a new experiential model for educating business students from any major-from science to history to theater-who have an inspiration to start their own enterprise.
Juniata's plans to align resources with other partners to encourage business ideas, assist with developing the business and provide incentives to keep businesses in Pennsylvania. These partners include: Huntingdon County's economic development group HCB+I; St. Francis University's SBDC (Small Business Development Center); and college alumni and local business leaders. Other state initiatives like the Life Science Greenhouse will have roles depending on the business being created.
Here is the Juniata College entrepreneurial model:
- --The Bob and Eileen Sill Business Incubator at Juniata targets both our students and residents from Huntingdon County and its surrounding region. The incubator nurtures fledgling businesses by providing inexpensive space on daily, monthly or yearly contracts and supplying extensive on-site and off-site start-up support such as product development advice, marketing and business modeling, and technology support.
- --Juniata's Student Seed Capital Fund gives any student with a viable idea a $5,000 grant to get an enterprise off the ground. This fund gives our students direct business experience that is not found in a textbook or case study.
- --We think our liberal arts curriculum and nationally recognized excellence in science will promote synergy in business ideas by bringing together students of varied interests. A biology student who designs a computer-driven diagnostic blood test can brainstorm with an information technology major, a faculty member in accounting and diagnosticians from J.C. Blair Hospital in Huntingdon to test the idea's potential.
The entrepreneurial synergy generated by students of diverse interests and backgrounds will inspire ideas that can work on a local, regional, or global scale. In this age of cyber-business and "click-and-mortar" startups, students realize that you can create a business in the Juniata Valley just as easily as you can in Silicon Valley. About half of our students have small-town roots, and many would love the opportunity to stay in a community where housing is affordable and a nearby college can provide social, intellectual and recreational opportunities, as well as the chance to do business in national and global markets.
Juniata already has dozens of students running their own businesses -- from water testing to Web consulting. The college is looking forward to giving these efforts a further leg up. Many of our students chose Juniata because it offered a nurturing, academically challenging environment. Also, Juniata is within about 500 miles of 50 percent of the nation's population and four of the largest consumer markets. We're betting that those same qualities will be attractive to both regional entrepreneurs and the students who have started businesses here.
An important final piece to our program is Governor Rendell's proposed Keystone Innovation Zone proposal. These zones will provide the tax breaks and incentives necessary to assist an entrepreneur in ramping up production to a sustainable business in a college town.
And the payoff? First, Juniata students will receive hands-on experiential education in business. At Juniata, our teaching model stresses learning by doing, and there is no better way to learn business than by building one yourself. Secondly, Juniata will provide unique opportunities for non-student entrepreneurs by offering our expertise and facilities. Finally, each business created here stimulates our local economy and keeps talented entrepreneurs in Pennsylvania.
That would be a wonderful outcome for our economic future.
Tom Kepple has been president of Juniata College since 1998. He is a native of Murrysville, Pa.

Oran's Callie Kielhofner finishes with a triple-double
EAST PRAIRIE -- A short-handed East Prairie Lady Eagles squad took to the court Thursday evening, battling sickness as well as the visiting Oran Lady Eagles. For the home team Lady Eagles, sickness and the visiting team both prevailed, as Oran downed East Prairie by a final score of 76-57.
During the first quarter, the home team was handling business from the tip, as they eventually went up 8-2 on the visiting Lady Eagles. East Prairie's Megan Britt racked up rebounds, as well as four points in the first quarter as Oran trailed 14-12 going into the second quarter.
Callie Kielhofner and Cheyenne King woke up in the second quarter, combining for 15 of Oran's 21 points.
The limited bench of East Prairie couldn't put together enough of a counter-
attack for Kielhofner and King, as the visiting Lady Eagles led 33-24 at half.
After the break, it was Kielhofner and King again, this time combining for 22 points of Oran's 24 point total in the third quarter, while Whitley Rundles, Megan Hedges and Britt could only muster up 16 for the home team. Heading into the fourth and final quarter the visiting Lady Eagles had amassed a 17 point lead, 57-40.
In the final 8:00, Rundles and Britt laid it all on the line, as the two piled in 15 of the 17 fourth quarter points to try to scrape back into the game. However, all of their effort wasn't enough to hold off Oran's offense, as five players for the visitors combined for 19 points, en route to the 76-57 victory.
"Our kids did a good job defensively tonight," said Oran head coach Adam Friga. "We got off to a slow start. We've got to do a better job at the free-
throw line, but overall, I was pleased with the intensity."
"We got after it," he added. "We didn't let up on full court pressure, and it ended up helping us at the end of the ball game."
Friga added that East Prairie played extremely well tonight, especially with their insufficient depth on the bench.
King finished with the game high, totaling 30 points and 10 rebounds. Kielhofner racked up a triple-double with 28 points, 19 rebounds and 10 steals.
Despite the loss, the home team took some positives from the game.
"I thought the girls worked hard, played hard and they never quit," said East Prairie head coach Steven Douglas. "We had two starters gone, but in terms of effort that was their best game. They ran out of steam, and missed some easy shots that they shouldn't have missed, but at least they played until the end."
"I'll take that effort every night," he added.
Rundles finished with the highest numbers for East Prairie, as she accumulated 25 points and nine rebounds. Teammate Megan Britt chipped in with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Up next for the East Prairie Lady Eagles (3-15) is the Scott City Lady Rams on Saturday at Scott City. There will only be varsity action, which begins at 2 p.m. followed by the boys varsity match-up.
Oran (10-10) will be back at home on Monday evening to go up against the St. Vincent Lady Indians. Junior varsity play will begin at 6 p.m. with the varsity game to follow.

Justice is served: Eman El Bahr Darwish reinstated as Head of the Egyptian Musicians' Union
The Egyptian Administrative Judiciary Court has made the decision to reinstate Egyptian singer Eman El Bahr Darwish as Head of the Egyptian Musicians' Union on Sunday.
According to Laha Magazine, after the court verdict was made, Eman stated that he was confident that justice has been served and that he's been given back what's rightfully his.
Eman said that he's earned this position through the legitimate elections held amongst members of the union in 2011.
"I have asked the police to secure my return to the union to resume my duties and obligations, and in order to avoid any disputes with members of the administrative council who illegally stripped me of my position last year. I have many ambitions and goals I wish to achieve in the upcoming period," he commented.
Eman stated that he will soon be releasing a song dedicated to Egyptian military chief Field Marshal Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, holding the title "I swear to God, You're Egypt's Beloved."

Only 4 Countries Vote For Kosovo Independence At The United Nations
By Times staff, 10/Apr/2007
UN mediator Marti Ahtisaari seated before a map of Kosovo. Little initial support for independence.
NEW YORK, April 10, 2007 - Despite energetic US State Department cheerleading, Kosovo's independence drive is off to a slow start at the United Nations. A plan by UN Special Envoy Marti Ahtisaari - endorsed and lobbied for by the United States - is attempting to grant Kosovo sovereignty from Serbia, overriding Serbia's protestations.
Notwithstanding American enthusiasm, during the first round of consultations on the issue Tuesday, only four of the 15 members on the UN Security Council voted in favor of Ahtisaari's plan.
Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica believes that the plan contradicts the UN Charter and that this is the reason it has failed to secure any substantial support at the UN.
The UN is not in a position to grant any country sovereignty and has no influence in Pridnestrovie. Kosovo, however, is a special situation since it is currently a UN protectorate. As such, its independence aspirations hinges on UN decisions, a factor which is not required in other cases such as Pridnestrovie (Transnistria) or Somaliland, for instance.
Meanwhile, in the US Senate, a bi-partisan draft resolution submitted by Joseph Lieberman, Joseph Biden and John McCain will urge president George W. Bush to step up the heat in the United Nations, increasing US pressure in the UN Security Council to have Kosovo declared an independent state.
Biden, the Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, is known for favoring realistic diplomacy and the democratic right to self-determination over what is seen as "the tired mantra of territorial integrity." He has proposed a separation of Iraq into three parts; one for Sunnis, one for Shiites and one - Kurdistan - for the Kurds.
US Senator Joe Biden wants the right to self-determination and democracy to come before territorial integrity.
Lost in the debate is the fact that some parts of Europe have a stronger historical and legal claim to independence than Kosovo. As Pridnestrovie's president Igor Smirnov has pointed out, the territory east of the Dniester river has never been part of Moldova at any time in history and declared independence (not from Moldova, but from the MSSR, then a part of the Soviet Union) one year before the Republic of Moldova even existed.
Moldova has traditionally been a part of Romania. Pridnestrovie - or Transnistria, by its Romanian name - has never been part of Romania. It has a Slavic majority and has at various times belonged to Kievan Rus, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Russia.
Unilateral independence declaration a possibility
The failure of the US State Department to achieve traction ion its push for imposed Kosovo independence has led some US handlers to recommend that Kosovo "go it alone", declaring independence on its own and putting the principle of Kosovo's right to self-determination above the conflicting principle of Serbia's territorial integrity.
In Podgorica, Montenegro, an aide to Kosovo's Prime Minister Azem Vlasi expressed Monday his belief that at least three countries - Montenegro, Macedonia and Albania - would recognize Kosovo's independence in case the Serbian province decides to declare independence unilaterally, reported the Tanjug news agency.
Such a move would make Kosovo a member of a small club of countries around the world which exists as de facto independent countries but which have limited international recognition and are not members of the United Nations. Taiwan is the best-known example of such countries, but the group also includes the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Somaliland, Abkhazia, Transdniester (Pridnestrovie) and Western Sahara, among others.
The countries meet the requirements for statehood under international law and are sovereign in all practical regards. Their limited diplomatic relations is caused by political reasons, and not any practical absence of sovereignty.
Attacks on Christians
In Kosovo, most of the Serb minority of 200,000 people oppose Kosovo independence and wish to remain as a formal part of Serbia. This is in stark contrast to Transdniester, where most of the locally resident Moldovan minority supports independence and oppose unification with Moldova.
The Serb minority in Kosovo has been under persistent attacks and are afraid to move around freely unless protected by UN soldiers. The violence extends to the Serb's cultural and religious symbols, including mortar attacks on Christian churches by the Muslim majority in Kosovo.
A mortar attack launched last week on the Serb Decani Monastery in Kosovo was condemned by the Director-General of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matsuura, as the Monastery is on the World Heritage in Danger List.
" - I condemn the attack on the Monastery of Decani," the Director-General declared. "UNESCO and the whole international community recognized the universal value of this property when they inscribed it on the World Heritage List. I urge the leaders of all of Kosovo's communities to exercise restraint."
The Monastery - the largest Medieval church in South-Eastern Europe, featuring vivid and rich Byzantine paintings and Romanesque statues - has come under attack several times since the late 1990s. Other Christian Serbs have also been targeted in recent months. A Seventh Day Adventist church reported vandalism and arson against their place of worship in January 2007, and individual Serbs fear for their lives if they speak Serb in public.
No such events have ever been reported in Transdniester, where Moldovan is one of three official languages and where the ethnic Moldovan minority takes an active part in the public administration of the unrecognized country.

Woods Is in No Hurry Heading Into PGA Championship
On its face, the idea of trying to turn a golf tournament into a punchy, TV-paced event seems kind of ridiculous. This is true for several reasons, but the main one is that this is golf we're talking about — guys in khakis walking around all afternoon, chasing a dimpled white ball. So it's easy to understand why Tiger Woods continues to complain about PGA official John Paramor's decision to put the slow-playing Woods and Padraig Harrington on the clock starting on the 16th tee of last weekend's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. No one was asking to play through, after all, and Woods and Harrington happened to be fighting out the final three holes of a very close tournament.
That Paramor's decree tracked roughly with Harrington's self-destruction down the stretch was indeed a shame, although it's debatable whether the official's pick-up-the-pace edict had anything to do with that. At least we now know what Woods thinks of all this. "I was telling [Harrington] out there, 'I'm sorry that John got in the way of a great battle,'" Woods told the press on Sunday. "Because it was such a great battle for 16 holes. And unfortunately, that happened."
"Woods said his pairing deserved some wiggle room, but there isn't much gray area in the rulebook," Steve Elling explains at CBS Sports. "He would hardly be the first to note, however, that the slow-play provisions are not exactly enforced with an iron hand, especially in the States. The last player known to have been zapped with a penalty stroke was Dillard Pruitt, now a rules official himself, in 1992." Of course, the rulebook also specifies that criticism of a PGA official carries an automatic fine. On Tuesday, the PGA confirmed that no such fine was forthcoming for Woods.
So what happens next? Tiger and Harrington and everyone else are headed to Minnesota's Hazeltine National Golf Club for this weekend's PGA Championship — that much we know. But is the PGA really going to try to turn its proudly unhurried product into something more X-treme? And when did the typically placid Tiger turn into the tour's ruckus-bringer-in-chief?
To Yahoo's Dan Wetzel, Woods' demi-outburst — which was about as close to off-message as he gets — was admirable. "Some want him to be a good little Tiger and rigidly accept all rules and rulings of authority, even ridiculous ones such as Sunday," Wetzel writes. "Harrington and Woods may have been playing 'slow' but since they were the final group, locked in a duel for the tournament, who gave a whit? Woods offering an honest opinion and sticking up for a guy he just defeated is endearing, not fine-worthy."
The Guardian's Lawrence Donegan doesn't exactly disagree with Woods, but views the PGA's lack of disciplinary action somewhat less emotionally than does Wetzel. "Woods appears to be accusing Paramor of having a direct, and willful, impact on the outcome of a golf tournament," Donegan wonders. "This is disparaging, surely. After all, it can't be pleasant for a rules official to wake up in the morning to find the world's greatest ever golfer saying he spoiled everyone's big day. It is also unreasonable."

It's not all that surprising that Nicole Bobek's figure-skating career is pretty well finished at age 32. That is, after all, the nature of the sport — women's figure skaters peak, for the most part, when they're still girls, and most careers finish not long after puberty's cruelties subside. Bobek drew a decent paycheck as part of the Champions on Ice Tour once her Olympic days concluded, but as her support system fell away, Bobek drifted away from figure skating and her old life in general. Again, not too surprising. No, the surprising part is that Bobek, the 1995 U.S. Figure Skating Champion and a former Olympian, is facing 10 years in prison after being arrested in June for being part of a methamphetamine ring in New Jersey.
The news of Bobek's arrest first surfaced in June, but Amy K. Nelson's long feature at ESPN provides a soberingly comprehensive look on Bobek's strange, sad descent.

"Imagine a crowd of 105,840 people turning out to watch an NFL preseason game," Dean Hybl writes at Sports Then and Now. "Probably wouldn't happen today unless it included a cage match between Michael Vick and Adam 'Pacman' Jones. However, for more than 40 years the Annual Chicago College All-Star Game was a fan favorite while helping establish the NFL as a premier sports league."
Yes, this is more or less the purpose of Hybl's site (you saw, the name, right?), but he has unearthed a real gem here. The long-forgotten All-Star Games mark an intriguingly unfinished time in football's emergence as one of America's dominant sports, and Hybl's piece is rife with cameos from football legends and fun anecdotes.

Have you watched "Bull Durham" recently? Yes, it's in the canon of Greatest Sports Movies Ever Period End of Discussion but … well, have you seen it recently? Tim Robbins throws all weird, some of the clubhouse stuff feels 200 years old, and a lot of the dialogue sounds pretty goofy. That last part probably is inevitable whenever a film requires a character played by Kevin Costner to say something involving Susan Sontag. Yet there's a reason "Bull Durham" has endured despite those instances of datedness and borderline lameness. The idea of scuffling through the dusty minors in pursuit of a dream will resonate for anyone who has ever wanted anything that was not instantly obtained, and most of the oxygen-consuming public falls into that demographic. Which is to say that very few people with beating hearts can't relate in at least some way to Baltimore Orioles farmhand Andy Mitchell.
Mitchell, 31, has been doing his thing in the Orioles' farm system for nine years, and has spent the last five of those at Triple-A without once getting called up to the Bigs. "Mitchell just gets older," the Baltimore Sun's Mike Klingaman writes. "He has done everything the club has asked. He has pitched as a starter, a middle reliever and a closer, more than 700 innings in all, with never a losing season. But is that enough to warrant The Call?" We'll find out in September, most likely.

People around your Fixer's age remember the seismic impact Upper Deck trading cards made on schoolyards when they first hit the market in 1989. The ultra-modern, be-hologrammed cards were utterly unlike any baseball card that had existed before, and the company became a heated rival to Topps's effective majority over the baseball-card market for two decades. Your Fixer used to work at Topps, and thus has a pretty serious attachment to that brand, but it was still kind of sad when it was announced last week that Major League Baseball had decided to make Topps the sole producer of baseball cards.
In a terrific piece at Slate, Dave Jamieson gives collectors — and those who dislike monopolies — a few more reasons to rue this decision. "The problem with the [trading card] business isn't that there have been too many card producers," Jamieson explains. "It's that there have been too many sets — and too many high-priced ones at that. The card makers, Topps included, have not acted judiciously with their production rights. In the long run, giving Topps a monopoly on baseball cards might hurt the hobby more than it helps."
Luckily, baseball hobbyists are a resilient bunch, as Michael Schmidt reveals in his profile of autograph collector Jack Smalling in the New York Times. Smalling, a 68-year-old widower from Iowa, is a man with a quixotic mission — he has dedicated himself to tracking down the home address of every living Major League coach, manager, umpire and player.

I saw the loan arranger at my bank. Wasn't so bad.
Critics are panning this movie right and left. It is even worse than the previous Lone Ranger movie – from back in the 80s. Rating is PG-13 – it is NOT the type of movie you can take children to see.
Haven't seen it, but I've heard it was "kinda fun".
Not gonna win an Oscar, but not horrible. It's just getting bad press because it cost over $200 mill and won't come close to that at the box office.
Its not bad at all. There were a whole lot of moments where you can't help but smile. It's worth the price of early showing.
Not true. It's a great movie. Lots of good one liners. Very good actions movie with comedy. Dlon't believe the critics.
By the way, there were lots of children in the theater when we went. It's not that bad as far as violence.
if the movie critics didn't like it, it must be a pretty good movie
Maybe the problem is the cost of the ticket. If the movie is based on a character for kids, why make a PG-13 movie and put doubt into the minds of the parents as to the content? Wouldn't you rather take them to see a sure thing like Monsters U or Despicable Me? We rarely see more than one movie per summer anymore, mainly because of the expense. That is what is causing these big budget movies to flop. If tickets were back down to $5 a person, I'd be willing to go every weekend. (We don't have a second run theater around here, otherwise I would probably do just that)
Damning with faint praise, much?
I took my wife, thought it would be a good escape…. should have seen "the Heat"
I do not plan to see it but when I saw deep with makeup and that stupid bird on his head. I put it on my when I have seen every other movie and I am really bored out of my mind or dead to see list
I hear it was bad.
And 1950s logic of shooting a gun out of a guys hand.
The August Perseid Meteor will make up for this year's bad movies. The week of August 12th, go out to see about 60 falling stars an hour. http://wwwskyandtelescope.com/observing/highlights/Meteor-Showers-in-2013-185454662.html
Star gazing is soul restoring, and peaceful entertainment!

Chapter One
Baile Icin, near Dingle, Ciarrai, 1400
Niall knew without looking up from his anvil that the woman who addressed him was Fae--Sidhe, the villagers called them. He could smell her, a bright, sticky-sweet stench that humans found irresistible.
He kept his head bent over his task. Mending a cooking crane for a village woman was far more important than speaking to a Fae. Besides, his name wasn't Smith, and if she couldn't call Niall by his real name he saw no need to answer.

If the function is meant to be used outside of libc, then yes.
If the function is only meant to be used by the FreeBSD base
system (not ports or other SW maintained elsewhere), then
it should be in the FBSDprivate namespace. If this function

POPLAR BLUFF - The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported three area accidents over the weekend which resulted in numerous injuries to motorists.
Candace C. Wright, 19, of Hoffman, Ill., was driving south on Interstate 55, four miles south of Scott City at 1:36 a.m. Saturday when her vehicle was struck in the rear by the one driven by Jeffery J. Bryant, 30, of Sikeston.
Wright, who suffered minor injuries, was transported by ambulance to St. Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau.
Two New Madrid residents were injured in an early morning accident Sunday on New Madrid County Road 725, three miles north of New Madrid.
According to the report, Stacey Aters, 23, ran off the east side of the roadway. Aters was able to overcorrect the vehicle, which then ran off the west side of the roadway, struck an embankment and then overturned several times. The driver and a passenger were ejected from the vehicle during the accident, which was reported at 12:05 a.m.
Aters sustained moderate injuries and was taken by ambulance to Missouri Delta Medical Center in Sikeston.
Bridgette Toton, 19, a passenger in the vehicle, suffered serious injuries and was transported by air to Southeast Missouri Hospital in Cape Girardeau.
The third accident occurred at 5:30 p.m. Sunday on Highway DD in Scott County, one mile west of Vanduser, when John S. Johnston, 38, of Sikeston was driving west. His vehicle ran off the left side of the roadway and struck a tree.
Johnston sustained moderate injuries and was taken by ambulance to Missouri Delta Medical Center.

Ever since I started using the IxDA website, I've been curious why the discussions are shown in a linear feed vs a more traditional category or sub-forum organizational structure. I have a terrible time trying to find anything here because the only search tools are keyword based (search box at the top of the page and word cloud on the side) which generally ignore the secondary information heirarchy of time, and thus seem to return extremely old, and generally no longer relevant posts.
I recently started working in the Cincinnati area and was just curious if this group has any planned or unplanned meet ups or social events? If no social events or meetups are happening, I would be interested in participating in some networking and design discussions with others in this group.
How is the scene down here for UI / UX and the like?
FYI, for those interested in some insights from a rhetorical
perspective on how to approach the problem of "defining design", as
quoted by Dick Buchanan, former head of the CMU School of Design and
current chief of their doctoral program. I've posted the main passage
on my blog here:
The key point is distinguishing between formal and descriptive
definitions, and using Aristotle's four causes as a general guide.
Hope the ixda community finds this useful...
Best regards,

Definition of free flight in English:
free flight
The flight of a spacecraft, rocket, or missile when the engine is not producing thrust.
Example sentences
- However, if they fly higher, outside the Earth's atmosphere, they can also provide weightlessness to their payload during the thrustless free flight phase, the duration of which is determined by the apogee reached.
- The tubby projectile will continue toward the comet in free flight.
- On each of these three fly-bys, the spacecraft picked up additional speed from the planet in a sort of slingshot fashion, so that by the end of this initial maneuver it had enough speed to make it to Jupiter in free flight.

on July 7, 2013 - 11:21 PM
The South Korean jetliner that smashed into the runway at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday was flying far too slowly to reach the runway and stalled when the pilot added power in a futile effort to abort the landing, the National Transportation Safety Board said Sunday.
The investigation into the crash of the Boeing 777 came to focus more sharply on possible pilot error Sunday as the president of Asiana Airlines ruled out a mechanical failure and federal investigators sought to interview the cockpit crew. Asiana Airlines spokesman Lee Hyomin said today the pilot in control of the Boeing 777 that crashed in San Francisco had little experience flying that type of plane and was landing one for the first time at the San Francisco airport. Hyomin said Monday that Lee Gang-guk was trying to get used to the 777 during Saturday's crash landing. She says the pilot had nearly 10,000 hours flying other planes but had only 43 hours on the 777.
"We're not talking about a few knots here or there. It was significantly below the 137 knots" required for the approach, safety board Chairwoman Deborah Hersman said in describing data taken from the cockpit and flight data recorders. "We do hope to interview the crew members within the next few days."
Hersman said the cockpit recorder revealed that seven seconds before impact there was a call to increase the plane's speed. Three seconds later a "stick shaker" – a violent vibration of the control yoke intended to as a warning to the pilot – indicated the plane was about to stall. Just 1½ seconds later, a crew member called out to abort the landing.
Hersman said her agency was a long way – perhaps a matter of months – from reaching a conclusion on what caused the crash. But with Asiana insisting that there was no mechanical failure, the data from the flight recorders showing the plane far below appropriate speed and the fact that the pilots were flying a visual approach, the available evidence Sunday suggested the crew was at fault.
Hersman said the seven-year-old plane was equipped with current navigation tools to assist landings, including recent advances in GPS technology.
"A lot of this is not about the plane telling him, it's about the pilot's recognition of what's going on ... to be able to assess what's happening and make the right inputs to make sure they're in a safe situation," Hersman said. "That's what we expect from pilots. We want to understand what happened in this situation."
In Seoul, from where Flight 214 departed for the trans-Pacific flight with 307 people on board, the president of Asiana Airlines apologized Sunday for the crash.
"For now, we acknowledge that there were no problems caused by the 777-200 plane or engines," Yoon Young-doo said at the company's headquarters.
Flight 214's pilots were Lee Jung Min, 49, a graduate of the Korea Aerospace University who joined Asiana in 1996, and Lee Kang Kuk, 46, who started his career at Asiana in 1994 and got his pilot's license in 2001, South Korea's Transport Ministry said in an emailed statement.
Chinese state media identified the two 16-year-olds who died in the crash as Ye Mengyuan and Wang Linjia, high school students from China's eastern Zhejiang province. They were among a group of 70 students and teachers from three Chinese schools.
By Saturday night, all 307 on board the Asiana flight had been accounted for, authorities said. A total of 182 people had been transported to hospitals. Hospital officials said Sunday afternoon that the crash had left at least two people paralyzed with spinal injuries. Eight people remained in critical condition.
Investigators are trying to determine whether one of the victims was killed by a fire truck rather than by crash trauma, San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
"Based on the injuries sustained, it could have been one of our vehicles that added to the injuries, or another vehicle," Hayes-White told the newspaper. "That could have been something that happened in the chaos."
Witnesses said that the plane's tail struck the ground first and that the aircraft braked suddenly and spun around. They said the plane did not appear to catch fire until it came to a halt.
The plane's tail snapped off on contact with the ground, suggesting that the pilot may have approached the runway with the plane's nose higher than normal.
The runway begins at the edge of San Francisco Bay, separated from the water by a stone seawall. Debris from the plane was spread from the seawall along the runway to the spot where the plane came to a stop.
The tail fin, the two small tail wings that had been joined to it and landing gear were strewn on the runway, closer to the seawall than to the plane's final location.
Thousands of passengers were stranded at San Francisco International Airport after Saturday's crash, which shut down the airport's four runways. The airport's restaurants stayed open all night Saturday to cater to stranded travelers whose stood for hours in long lines to rebook their tickets.
Two runways reopened about three hours after the crash. Some international flights began leaving again Saturday night.
At about 1 p.m. Sunday, a third runway reopened, officials said on Twitter.
Asiana is South Korea's second-largest carrier, after Korean Air. It has recently tried to expand its presence in the United States and joined the Star Alliance, which is anchored in the United States by United Airlines. Asiana has a fleet of 79 aircraft, including a dozen Boeing 777s. It flies to 23 countries and 71 cities.
Saturday's accident was Asiana's worst since 1993, when a Boeing 737 crashed in Mokpo, south of Seoul, killing 66 people, according to the National Archives of Korea.
Korean Air Lines's crash history in the 1990s prompted the government to order its carriers to get new planes and pilots more training. Asiana's accident may prompt a new round of similar measures.
"Asiana's accident is going to damage the image of not just Asiana, but all Korean airlines," said Um Kyung A, an analyst at Shinyoung Securities in Seoul. "It only takes one incident to undermine years of work Korean airlines have made to get a solid, accident-free record. This will prompt the government to call for stricter safety measures."
Asiana was ranked among the top five global airlines by Skytrax in each of the past five years.
Korean Air, the country's biggest carrier, in 2000 hired two executives who worked with U.S. airlines to help improve its safety standards after a slew of accidents, including a 1997 crash in Guam that killed 228 people. The accidents prompted the government to tighten safety standards at Korean airlines, as well as foreign ones flying into the country. It also strengthened regulations on pilot and maintenance licenses.
Pilots were required to be trained and evaluated at an international center, and airlines were required to fly more hours on domestic routes before obtaining a license to fly overseas. The government also strengthened safety regulations at domestic airports.

Gary Russell Jr., the undefeated featherweight prospect who headlines a ShoBox card against late-sub Roberto Castaneda on Friday, says "I feel as though that I am that guy at the featherweight division."
50 Cent has apparently split from Floyd Mayweather and moved ahead with two fighters he signed: Billy Dib, who may defend his featherweight belt under Cotto-Trout, and Yuriorkis Gamboa, who fights on the Pacquiao-Marquez IV undercard.
The big fights keep lining up and keep falling through for unbeaten featherweight contender Mikey Garcia, but he's still hungry for a showcase against the likes of Yuriorkis Gamboa.

Floyd Mayweather purchased an assortment of elaborate gifts for his girlfriend's July 25th birthday while in jail.
Rapper 50 Cent is licensed to promote boxing shows in New York, but not yet in Nevada, where he has applied for a license and plans to eventually promote boxing events under The Money Team banner.
Top Rank CEO Bob Arum applauds the creation of TMT Promotions by rapper 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather Jr., saying it will energize the sport and possibly set the stage for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.

AbstractAnimal coronaviruses, such as infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), and arteriviruses, such as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), are able to manifest highly contagious infections in their specific native hosts, thereby arising in critical economic damage to animal industries. This review discusses recent progress in studies of virus-host interactions during animal and human coronavirus and arterivirus infections, with emphasis on IBV-host cell interactions. These interactions may be directly involved in viral replication or lead to the alteration of certain signaling pathways, such as cell stress response and innate immunity, to facilitate viral replication and pathogenesis.

Mario Blanquel qualified for state in the discus. (

June 01, 2011 | 08:37 AM
Last Thursday at the WIAA Division 1 Badger Sectional at Badger High School, Tristan Sproul and Megan Mulligan weren't about to let the season end for the Badger girls track squad.
Sproul, a sophomore, and Mulligan, a senior, are headed back to this weekend's state meet for a second straight year at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse after combining to qualify in five events including three individual spots and two relays.
Mulligan took second in both the 100 (13.14) and 200 (26.6). The standout just missed out on the sectional title in the 200 by .04 seconds behind Janesville Craig's Maggie Slatter, who also edged Mulligan in the 100. Furthermore, Mulligan along with Annie Gaugert, Carly Beil and Alyssa Humphrey qualified for state in the 400 relay, taking second in 51.02 seconds, less than a second behind Waterford's 50.63.
Sproul made sure distance runners will be represented at state for Badger. She nabbed third in the 800 with a 2:28.05. Also, she joined the 3,200 relay team of Karina Reeves, Aaryn Edge and Alyssa Olsen, which took second with a time of 9:56.86.

With five qualifying events, girls coach Jenn Jaeger couldn't have asked for much more.
"I'm very happy about how tonight turned out," she said. "With all the girls and alternates, we are bringing 12 girls to state. I'm proud of all the girls for qualifying for state. I'm really excited. A lot of girls were on the bubble coming into sectionals, and we pulled through in those instances."
Jaeger believes the 400 and 3,200 relay could each break the school record at state. Mostly, she hopes the girls are at the top of their games.
"I want to have everyone have personal bests," she said. "These girls are going to state for a reason. They have all worked really hard."
Ruzga, Blanquel move on for boys
The boys track squad will send a couple of first-timers to Friday's state meet.
Junior Eddy Ruzga paced the boys, qualifying by taking second place in the 110 high hurdles (15.02) and the 300 hurdles (39.53). Also, senior Mario Blanquel advanced in the discus, taking third with a solid toss of 151-0.
Boys coach AJ Curtis was very proud of the two boys.
"We were hoping to get a couple guys through to state," he said. "Ed and Mario are extremely hard workers. They are great individuals, and they deserve every piece of success they get."
Ruzga's 15.02 was his best time of the season. Curtis also commended Ruzga's season-high split in the 1,600 relay, where Badger took eighth.
"Every coach dreams of an athlete like that," Curtis said of Ruzga. "He has been consistent all season."
Blanquel has vastly improved from last season, when his best discus throw was around the 140-0 range.
"Mario has come a long way," Curtis said. "He has improved a lot and has worked really, really hard. He is extremely dedicated."
As for the sectional, Curtis said the competition was stiff.
"We did OK overall, but there were some great teams there," he said. "There were some really great athletes. We are on the verge of getting better. It's kind of a rebuilding year for us. I'm still trying to get the kids to love the sport. But I'm definitely excited for the future. We have a lot of potential coming up."
Curtis said his guys won't just settle for participating at state.
"We want to compete well, and we are looking forward to it," he said. "It's about trying to medal. It's the first time up there for Eddy and Mario. They will have to get the jitters out then give it their all."
