Just a wee blog to show a list of things we would love to be added to the game.......Skyrim is unreal...........but FAR from perfect. A list i made for add ons would be...(and i think you will agree strongly with some) :
DRAGON WEAPONS - Annoyingly there are no weapon sets for this category unlike the rest
VARIETY OF WEAPONS AND ARMOUR - We find that there is only one type/look of every weapon in each category for the most..., itd be great to see different types of eg steel swords, different types of ebony axes (looks wise)
HORSEBACK - Being able to draw your sword etc on a horse would add a new feel to the game
DEFEND CITIES - Imagine being able to defend Whiterun from an army.......BUT ALL THOSE GUARDS AND TOWERS TO USE! imagine a two towers style epic battle to take up! just randomly when a small war / battle was to begin.....talk to the jarl to join.....or of course sit back and watch *this is my biggest wanted add on....it would create a whole new dimension and experience to the game.....bored? finished all the quests and stories you can be bothered to do......who would ever get bored of a huge battle throughout a city (if they broke through) or outside the city walls. and it can vary in size.....a group of strong warriors or mages... dozens of bandits......AN ARMY of soldiers.....it would be unreal but sadly i doubt they would be capable of creating this
ADD SKIN TO WEAPONS - Giving more of a point to all that wolf skin etc
IMPROVE COMBAT/counter attacks - Different variety of swings and blocking and introduce counter attack moves that could finish your opponent.....would rid the game of hack and slash slightly thus improving
so.........what you think? list your own and hopefully this blog gets a good amount of replies for us all to discuss....who knows bethesda may take notice if we get lots of replies and take heed of some opinions/suggestions *crosses fingers for defend cities/wars*
Views: 1584
dragon weapons - definitly viable for DLC. weapons stronger than daedric? i think they should be, might not fit the lore though?
variety of weapons/armor - will there ever be enough? they could add maybe 1 or 2 different types and that would be enough. spear weapons would definitly be one of them, the other probably crossbows, a heavier slower type variant in archery. from there small personal customizations can be made.
horseback - definitly a good idea and would fit well in skyrim. would just allow the rider to become more mobile in combat. add no extra damage benefits. but if they are staggered on while on their horse they should automatically fall off and lose 10% damage for example. the horse can also be killed aswell dropping the rider and causing this damage.
Defend Cities - would be very cool but dont know if the framerate would allow.
skins - in reference to the last sentence, this would be an ideal way to personalise and customize our favorite weapons, especially our crafted ones. and maybe could add a very small bonus. for example, (would work similiar to Call of Duty weapon skins?) or such maybe an extra part of smithing is customizing and you customise the length of the blade, width, extra spikes on your axe or maybe the art design on your longbow? same goes with armor.
Improve combat/counter attacks -
Your right, thieves and assassins would have no place in the arena, and why should they, its not a classic place for them to be. However, a thief class armed with a freshly brewed invisibility potion and the backstab perk would be terrifying to even the most accomplished mage.
Other options are to make it like Oblivions arena where your restricted to a specific loadout.
I am pretty sure bethesda was sneaky and decided not to release dragon weapons so they could release it in a DLC. Good thinking.
I was surprised that there werent any dragon weapons myself.. that would be an awesome add-on.
i wouldnt mind if your companion could level up too...perhaps you get to pick the perks he or she has...
Possibly individual weapon leveling? Kinda like MW3... just an idea..
Maybe add a few more shouts to find...
More variety of spells...
They should've had a radiant quest where you had to defend captured forts etc from attacking enemy forces. The horse combat is a cool idea but I don't really think it belongs in the TES universe, it would just turn into a mounted combat game and it'd be unbalanced unless they gave loads of enemies horses.
Mason's Arena idea is pretty cool but it isn't really a PVP game. There'd just be a couple of really viable PVP builds and alot of stuff would become redundant. A stealth character for example would have no chance against a proper warrior and a mage with 100% spell cost reduction could just spam ice spear/thunderbolt/grand healing and be invincible, or a warrior with stew and shield just to name a few...
I got a little taste of the war scenario when defending whiterun from the stormcloaks, really like the idea actually. I dont think it would be that hard to implement by bethesda, tough on framerate though.
I would love a 'blueprint' system implemented for smithing. For example when choosing perks you simply choose the metal/material in which your character is capable of smithing.
Then hidden throughout the world would be blueprints for different designs of armor, so if someone (like me) loves the design of the imperial armor but wants to make it out of ebony to improve the defense they can do.
Also i'm not the first to say it but i want to be able to slightly colour my armor to truly make it unique to me. Same for weapons, i want a range of designs when smithing, the quality should only be dependant on the material used.
Was going to add this earlier today:
Because the arena is obviously so badly missed Bethesda could take this opportunity to create an online arena for us all to fight our characters one on one or maybe even a deathmatch within the confines of an interior cell.
Thus partially satisfying fans lust for an online elder scrolls without destroying the single player experience. This is a win and you know it, i wouldnt be able to put it down!
Obviously redguards would be trampling orcs on the leader table - you know who you are if your reading!

I just really didn't (and don't) see the point.What I did, whenever I wanted to attach and include an image, was to post the message with the file attached, *then* get the url for that image, edit the post and use the image tags. That way, the image is attached to the relevant post and I didn't post a lot of wasted posts. Like you said, you need your post total reduced by 30 or so.I wonder if I posted with an attachment, and then deleted the post, would the attachment remain on the server?

Another company-sized unit of the police elite Special Action Force arrived in Negros Occidental to augment the local police in the maintenance of peace and order, and to conduct internal security operations, its commander, Supt. Mario Baquiran, yesterday said.
The 604th SAF Company, which is composed of 72 personnel, aside from the 39 assigned at the 6th SAF Battalion headquarters in Manapla, arrived nine months after the 601st SAF Company came to Negros Occidental in July last year.
The SAF troopers are trained in domestic counter-terrorism, law enforcement and commando-type unconventional warfare.
Baquiran said they will serve as the rapid deployment force during the election in Negros Occidental. He also assured the impartiality of SAF in the election, following claims that they may be used by some politicians in northern Negros.
The 602nd and 603rd SAF companies are now assigned in Panay island.
Police records show that the 6th SAF Battalion had participated in the recent arrest of Greg Tuayon, alleged by the military to be the finance bureau chief of the Komiteng Rehiyonal-Negros, in Manapla.
Senior Supt. Ricardo de la Paz, officer-in-charge of the Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office, yesterday said they are forming a rapid deployment force and quick reaction teams to be deployed in strategic areas of the province during the election.
De la Paz and Col. Jon Aying, 303rd Infantry Brigade commander, yesterday met with Comelec officials in Cadiz City, and discussed security preparations for the PCOS machines, polling precincts, and voters in the district level.
The National Police Commission had earlier approved the creation of two additional Special Action Force battalions.*GPB

Biology is a result of evolution. This fact is at the core of research ideas pursued at OSSlab. Headed by Orkun S. Soyer, the lab is interested in understanding the structure and response dynamics of molecular systems (e.g. signaling networks) from an evolutionary perspective. In other words, we are after evolutionary and ecological principles that can explain the structure and dynamics of biological systems at molecular level.
Ultimately, deciphering these principles will lead to a global rather than system specific understanding of biological systems. Further, this evolutionary research angle will increase our ability to manipulate existing biological systems and design novel ones.

'Dallas Buyers Club' out on DVD today; see the evolution of Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey
Photo: FRANK MASI/FRANK MASI
Purgatory: Failure to Launch (2006) – For a while there was actually such a thing as a Matthew McConaughey Romantic Comedy. You could expect at least one shirtless scene – McConaughey has rarely been without abs – a witless, cynical script seemingly concocted by focus group, and a male lead performance you could charitably describe as bored. We highlight Failure to Launch, co-starring Sarah Jessica Parker, because it was particularly heinous, and because the title too perfectly sums up this period of McConaughey's career.

What type of people participate in Village Savings & Loan Programs (VSLAs)? What impact do these programs have on households and communities?
Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) attempt to overcome the difficulties of offering credit to the rural poor by building on a ROSCA model to create groups of people who can pool their savings in order to have a source of lending funds. Members make savings contributions to the pool, and can also borrow from it. As a self-sustainable and self-replicating mechanism, VSLAs have the potential to bring access to more remote areas, but the impact of these groups on access to credit, savings and assets, income, food security, consumption education, and empowerment is not yet known. Moreover, it is not known whether VSLAs will be dominated by wealthier community members, simply shifting the ways in which people borrow rather than providing financial access to new populations.
Although during the last decades microfinance institutions have provided millions of people access to financial services, provision of access in rural areas remains a major challenge. It is costly for microfinance organizations to reach the rural poor, and as a consequence the great majority of them lack any access to formal financial services. Traditional community methods of saving, such as the rotating savings and credit associations called ROSCAs, can provide an opportunity to save, but they do not allow savers to earn interest on their deposits as a formal account would. In addition, ROSCAs do not provide a means for borrowing at will because though each member makes a regular deposit to the common fund, only one lottery-selected member is able to keep the proceeds from each meeting.
The Northern region of Ghana is one of the least developed parts of the country. The majority of its residents make their living in agriculture. Services including mail delivery, telephone, and medical clinics are very limited in this sparsely populated part of Ghana.
In Ghana, researchers are working to measure the dynamics of self-selection with VSLAs. This study is conducted with 180 communities selected by our partner, CARE, after being identified as villages in which VSLA programs could be initiated. Ninety villages were randomly selected to receive the VSLA intervention, and the remaining 90 villages are used for comparison. For those villages randomly assigned to receive the intervention, a CARE representative will enter the village to meet with residents and begin to form VSLAs there. Interested participants form groups of 15 to 30 community members, pooling their capital to create a fund from which members can borrow. Members pay back loans with interest, and savings also earn interest, with the rates determined by the group at its founding. The CARE representatives initiate the formation of new VSLAs, but the eventual goal of the intervention is to provide the community with the capacity to make these groups self-sustaining by providing training on initiation and administration of new VSLAs.
Three years after full implementation, a follow up survey will allow researchers to understand who chooses to participate in VSLAs in Ghana, as well as how their lives may be affected as a result.

Hurray for the Riff Raff Streams 'I Know It's Wrong (But That's Alright)'
Alynda Lee Segarra's story sounds like something pulled from the pages of Woody Guthrie's "Bound for Glory." She left home in the Bronx at 17 and hopped freight trains like a Depression-era hobo before settling in New Orleans, where she formed Hurray for the Riff Raff. The band premieres "I Know It's Wrong (But That's Alright)," from an upcoming new album, today on Speakeasy.
Backed by an assemblage of New Orleans musicians, Segarra has landed spots on tour with Alabama Shakes, Amos Lee and Shovels & Rope, and delivered a buzzed-about set this past summer at the Newport Folk Festival. She has a subtle, expressive voice that she wraps around songs that draw on the sounds and styles of the American South, and her lyrics often takes unconventional tack on traditional subjects. That holds true for "I Know It's Wrong."
"Some people think this is a song about forbidden love, but really it's about the many different dreams and nightmares that come with wanting to be with someone 'forever,'" Segarra told Speakeasy. "Times are much different than when my parents were young and dating, and I toss around what a healthy and romantic long-term relationship looks like at my age. Sometimes you gotta hop the fence and hope you land on your feet."
"I Know It's Wrong (But That's Alright)" is on Hurray for the Riff Raff's upcoming album "Small Town Heroes," which is due out Feb. 11 on ATO Records. What do you think of the song? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

How To Deal With Missing A Workout
- By Chris Carmichael
- Published Jul 17, 2012
- Updated May 22, 2013 at 1:10 PM UTC
You missed a key interval workout in a big training block. As training gets more focused, you start using more two- and three-day blocks to increase overall training stimulus. And often these blocks are arranged in a series, like three two-day blocks separated by two easier days. Each block is dependent on the previous one and impacts the next one, so as you shift your workouts, remember that in the long run, recovery trumps intensity.
Recovery requires time, and you can't achieve two days' worth in just one day. It's better to preserve your scheduled recovery periods than it is to sacrifice recovery for additional intensity. Here's a real-life example: An athlete had a schedule of hard interval workouts on Wednesday and Thursday (two-day block), easy recovery sessions on Friday/Saturday, and another block on Sunday/Monday. On Friday he learned he had a meeting on Monday that nixed his workout plans, so he moved the interval session to Saturday, making the two-day block Saturday/Sunday.
It didn't work. By prioritizing intensity over recovery and eliminating one of the two recovery days between his training blocks, he was too fatigued to complete a high-quality workout on Sunday (now the fourth day of intervals in five days). He would have been better off keeping Saturday a relatively easy day and moderately increasing the workload in Sunday's workout.

Definition of Chianina in English:
An animal of a very large white breed of cattle, kept for its lean meat.
Example sentences
- Examples are the French Charolais, Limousin, Simmental, and Blonde d' Aquitaine, the Italian Chianina, and the Belgian Blue.
- It's no surprise that beef features prominently in Tuscany, considering that it's home to the Chiana Valley (near the center of Italy), home of the Chianina steer.
- When they compared cows by breed of sire, the ranking order was Maine Anjou, Chianina, Brahman, and Simmental.

Version 2.9
Copyright © 2008-2015 vogella GmbH
Table of Contents
Eclipse JFace is a set of plug-ins based upon the user interface toolkit SWT. JFace provides classes and frameworks which simplify common SWT use cases. JFace does not hide the SWT API; therefore, SWT knowledge is still required.
JFace provides the viewers framework, which simplifies the mapping of a data model to a visual representation. For example you find viewers for ComboBoxes, Tables and Trees.
JFace also provides helper classes to effectively manage your system resources, like colors, images and fonts.
In addition JFace provides support for handling preferences, preference pages, wizards and dialogs. It also contains functionality to support icon decorations and user-input help for SWT controls.
JFace Data Binding is a framework which connects properties of objects. It is typically used to synchronize fields of the user interface with properties of model objects and allows you to include validation and conversion in this synchronization process.
SWT is based on the native widgets of the OS. Whenever an SWT widget is allocated, a corresponding OS specific widget is created. The Java garbage collector cannot automatically clean-up these OS-specific widget references.
Fortunately all widgets which are created based on a parent widget are
automatically disposed when the parent
is disposed.
If you develop Eclipse plug-ins, the

class allows you to place image decorations on SWT controls to show
additional information about the control. These decorations can also
have a description text which is displayed once the
user places the
over them.
During the layout of your screen you need to make sure that enough space is available to display these decorations.
The following code snippet shows how to create
and how to set a description and an icon to it.
// create the decoration for the text UI component final ControlDecoration deco = new ControlDecoration(text, SWT.TOP | SWT.RIGHT); // re-use an existing image Image image = FieldDecorationRegistry. getDefault(). getFieldDecoration(FieldDecorationRegistry.DEC_INFORMATION). getImage(); // set description and image deco.setDescriptionText("This is a tooltip text"); deco.setImage(image); // hide deco if not in focus deco.setShowOnlyOnFocus(true);
You can hide and show the decoration via the corresponding methods as demonstrated in the following code snippet.
deco.hide(); deco.show();
package provides
assistance to define user-input help for a
e.g., a
text field or
box. The
class is responsible for
providing the possible input values.
In the following example the content proposal should get activated via certain keys ("." and "#") as well as the Ctrl+Space key combination.
The following code demonstrates the usage of the field assistance
functionality. It
also uses the
GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(2, false); // parent is a Composite parent.setLayout(layout); Label lblPleaseEnterA = new Label(parent, SWT.NONE); lblPleaseEnterA.setText("Please enter a value:"); Text text = new Text(parent, SWT.BORDER); GridData gd_text = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.CENTER, true, false); gd_text.horizontalIndent = 8; text.setLayoutData(gd_text); GridData data = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.TOP, true, false); // create the decoration for the text component final ControlDecoration deco = new ControlDecoration(text, SWT.TOP | SWT.LEFT); // use an existing image Image image = FieldDecorationRegistry.getDefault() .getFieldDecoration(FieldDecorationRegistry.DEC_INFORMATION) .getImage(); // set description and image deco.setDescriptionText("Use CTRL + SPACE to see possible values"); deco.setImage(image); // always show decoration deco.setShowOnlyOnFocus(false); // hide the decoration if the text component has content text.addModifyListener(new ModifyListener() { @Override public void modifyText(ModifyEvent e) { Text text = (Text) e.getSource(); if (!text.getText().isEmpty()) { deco.hide(); } else { deco.show(); } } }); // help the user with the possible inputs // "." and "#" activate the content proposals char[] autoActivationCharacters = new char[] { '.', '#' }; KeyStroke keyStroke; // try { keyStroke = KeyStroke.getInstance("Ctrl+Space"); ContentProposalAdapter adapter = new ContentProposalAdapter(text, new TextContentAdapter(), new SimpleContentProposalProvider(new String[] { "ProposalOne", "ProposalTwo", "ProposalThree" }), keyStroke, autoActivationCharacters); } catch (ParseException e1) { e1.printStackTrace(); }
If used the result should look similar to the following.
The JFace viewer framework allows you to display a domain model in a standard SWT widget like list, combo, tree or table without converting the domain model beforehand.
A viewer allows you to set a content provider which provides the data for the viewer. The content provider makes no assumption about the presentation of the data model.
You can also assign at least one label provider to a viewer. The label provider defines how the data from the model will be displayed in the viewer.
JFace provides several standard
viewer implementations. These
are part of the
package. The following
list contains
the most important ones.
The related interfaces for defining a content provider are described in the following table.
Table 1. Content providers
|Default implementation
Used for the List-, Combo- and TableViewer.
JFace provides
implementation for Collections and Arrays with the

Important standard label providers are listed in the following table.
Table 2. Label providers
|Required class
|Standard label providers
|Used for lists and trees, can return an icon and a label per element.
|Used for tables. Defines a label provider per column.
A simple example for a JFace Viewer framework is the
class. Assume the following data model.
package com.vogella.eclipse.viewer; public class Person { private String firstName; private String lastName; private boolean married; public Person(String firstName, String lastName) { this.firstName = firstName; this.lastName = lastName; } public String getFirstName() { return firstName; } public void setFirstName(String firstName) { this.firstName = firstName; } public String getLastName() { return lastName; } public void setLastName(String lastName) { this.lastName = lastName; } public boolean isMarried() { return married; } public void setMarried(boolean married) { this.married = married; } }
The following example snippet shows you how you could use this given
data model in a
// the following code is executed by the method which // creates the user interface // assumes parent is an SWT Composite GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(2, false); parent.setLayout(layout); Label label = new Label(parent, SWT.NONE); label.setText("Select a person:"); final ComboViewer viewer = new ComboViewer(parent, SWT.READ_ONLY); // the ArrayContentProvider object does not store any state, // therefore, you can re-use instances viewer.setContentProvider(ArrayContentProvider.getInstance()); viewer.setLabelProvider(new LabelProvider() { @Override public String getText(Object element) { if (element instanceof Person) { Person person = (Person) element; return person.getFirstName(); } return super.getText(element); } }); Person[] persons = new Person[] { new Person("Lars", "Vogel"), new Person("Tim", "Taler"), new Person("Jim", "Knopf") }; // set the input of the Viewer, // this input is send to the content provider viewer.setInput(persons); // note: the order of setContentProvider and setInput is important
You can register a listener which is notified whenever the selection of the viewer changes via the following code.
// react to the selection change of the viewer // note that the viewer returns the actual object viewer.addSelectionChangedListener(new ISelectionChangedListener() { @Override public void selectionChanged(SelectionChangedEvent event) { IStructuredSelection selection = (IStructuredSelection) event .getSelection(); if (selection.size() > 0){ System.out.println(((Person) selection.getFirstElement()) .getLastName()); } } });
You can get and set selections using Java objects based on your domain model.
// you can select an object directly via the domain object Person person = persons[0]; viewer.setSelection(new StructuredSelection(person)); // retrieves the selection, returns the data model object IStructuredSelection selection = viewer.getStructuredSelection(); Person p = (Person) selection.getFirstElement();

Very nice - thank you!
I also noticed that you added a "Title" field to the Templates - much easier...
Thanks again,
... one question:
If the seeker looks for "English", does that match all of the English dialects you listed?
The reason I ask is that I'd hate to not come up in a search because I have "English" selected, and the seeker looked for "English (North American)".
Hope this makes sense...
To Joe - thank you for your comments. The Title function to the templates has been in place for sometime and is not really a recent feature.
As for English. The generic English option is available for clients to use when seeking talent who speak English fluently but are not specifying a particular accent. Clients tend to use this when posting jobs, not necessarily when using the Search Engine.
If a client wants to hear from the following types of talents - North American, British and Australian talent they may post their job under English to encompass everyone in one posting rather than having to post 3 separate jobs.
If you speak English, regardless of accent, then you should have this selected as one of your Other languages in your profile and have at least one demo assigned to that language as well to improve your exposure as well as your audition opportunities.
I hope that this helps to clarify the existence of the generic English option in jobs and our search engine.Posted by:
That's what I love about Voices.com. Always seeking to get better, always striving for excellence. Great example in the VO business world!Posted by:
Thanks, Stephanie. My favorite is the addition of Job Details showing on the Audition Submission Page. It used to really aggravate me when I was typing up my proposal letter (or modifying a template) to forget something and have to back out and redo. I Love it! Thank you everyone who worked on it.Posted by:
Yes, I agree, Adding the details to the Audition page is the one thing that has streamlined my auditioning process. I used to have to copy my proposal, go back and check the details, and then paste it back into the proposal box...now..just scroll down and check. Excellent!!Posted by:
Nice improvements to an already great system. Thanks!Posted by:
Thanks for the 'mass' style email response newsletter and such, however it didn't do much to address my initial suggestion/question.
Is it possible to send out a friendly reminder to clients to update the SELECTED box once they've actually chosen talent?
Stone Amada

Hi Stone,
I'm glad you received the newsletter :)
I also received your email and have not yet had a chance to reply. My apologies.
To answer your question, clients who have not chosen a talent by their deadline are followed up with by members of our team to learn more about why they have not proceeded through SurePay. I've touched on this before and I think you'll find this article linked below quite helpful in explaining our process.
Best wishes,

a2 Department of Rehabilitation, Gunma University of Health and Welfare, Gunma, Japan
a3 Geriatrics Research Institute and Hospital, Gunma, Japan
Background: In Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, deficits in contextual understanding and intentions/beliefs of other people (theory of mind; ToM) cause communication problems between patients and caregivers. To evaluate deficits of contextual understanding/ToM, we developed the Pitfall Intention Explanation Task with Clue Questions (Pitfall task).
Methods: We recruited 26 healthy older adults in clinical dementia rating (CDR) 0, and 62 outpatients: 12 with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) in CDR 0.5; 36 mild AD in CDR 1; and 14 moderate AD in CDR 2. The Pitfall task consists of a single-frame cartoon that shows a character's intention and seven serial questions that provide clues for contextual understanding/ToM.
Results: The total score (0–7) was decreased with progression of AD (CDR 0, 5.4 ± 2.6; CDR 0.5, 3.7 ± 2.7; CDR 1, 1.9 ± 3.1; CDR 2, 0.0 ± 0.0; respectively). In CDR 0, two-third of the participants responded correctly without clue questions. In CDR 0.5, one-third of the participants responded correctly without clue questions, and half of them understood with the help of the clue questions. In CDR 1, one-fourth of the participants responded correctly without clue questions, and the clue questions did not increase the correct response. In CDR 2, none responded correctly. Additionally, the Pitfall task provided the chance for patients' families to observe patients' responses.
Conclusion: Contextual understanding/ToM, a kind of social cognition, was impaired with progression of AD. The Pitfall task evaluates the function quickly with low burden for memory function, and may provide helpful clues for caregivers to achieve good communication with AD patients.

Sweet, Sticky & Spicy Ribs Recipe
Submitted By:from Manchester.
Blog/Website: http://foodgeek.co.uk
Sweet, Sticky & Spicy Ribs Notes
This recipe has evolved over the last couple of years and they're the best tasting ribs ever if you ask me. Perfect combination of sweet, sticky and spicy with amazing deep flavour. Of course I'm biased but everybody I've ever cooked them for seems to really love them too!
- Rack of ribs
- 1 jar passata (uncooked tomato puree), or 1 can chopped tomatoes, pureed
- fresh red or green chile peppers or crushed red pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 star anise
- 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons Worcesterchire sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 3 tablespoons runny honey
- small bunch of cilantro
Serves / Yields
Preparation Instructions
- To make the marinade add your passata to a pan (if like me you forget to buy pasatta just throw a tin of chopped tomatoes into a blender and blitz until smooth).
Add the garlic (crushed), star anise, Worcestershire sauce, Dark Soy sauce, Oyster sauce, runny honey and the zest and juice of a lime. Finely slice your chillies and add to the pan as well (use as little or as much chilli as you like, I like them HOT so I use 2 red and 2 or 3 green finger chilies which makes a really spicy sauce. When I'm cooking for other people I tend to use just 1 of each). Alternatively use a teaspoon or 2 of chile flakes.
Bring to the boil and leave to simmer for a few minutes, stirring well to combine all the flavours. Then remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Whilst the marinade is cooling trim any excess fat from your ribs and add to a large roasting tray. Once your marinade has completely cooled pour over the top of the ribs. Turn them upside down a couple of times.
Cover and leave in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Turn them over occasionally.
Take the ribs out of the fridge a couple of hours before you plan on cooking them to bring them up to room temperature and preheat your oven to 150° C (300° F).
Cover the roasting dish with foil and cook in the oven for around 3 hours.
After this time the meat should be falling off the bone but they'll look anaemic and like they've been boiled. Take the foil off, pour as much of the sauce as you can into a small pan.
Put the ribs back in the oven uncovered for another 30 – 40 minutes, turning half way. This will blacken and char them. Gently simmer the pan of sauce to thicken slightly.
When the ribs are nicely blackened serve drizzled with the remaining sauce and topped with chopped cilantro. Eat them all yourself or share them and serve with rice or potato wedges.

I need a wordprocessor that can display microsoft compliant formats.
I have looked at star office, openoffice org - but these require a lot of
memory to build: i only have 256mb.
There dont seem to be any packages for these either.
I have got linux mandrake rpms / srpms for these wordprocessors, but i
guess it would open a hornets nest if i simply tried to 'install' these.
Can anyone give me some urgent advice please?

I mean no offense here ... make sure the PCs are using an LPR client
or port definition in Windows... Multinet by itself does not accept
incoming connections as a "share" (SMB?) or on port 9100 :-)
A long time ago I had to play with the "type" on the incoming LPD
(or is it called LPR?) connections to force it to be binary ...
naturally with a smart O/S like VMS there is a big difference
between a binary and text file ... unlike many Unix's or even some
things on a Windows PC ...
But recently I believe most things show up binary (fixed length
files, no CC) in the temp files Multinet makes ... it matters most
when Multinet is reading that temp file to send it to the actual
printer ...
For older Windows (Win98 for example) there is at least one free
LPD driver ... plus I can't remember if LPD is a standard part
of XP (a choice on "port") or if you have to install the Unix-printer
optional module (or some other optional Windows module) ... it's
been a long time since I had to do it :-)

What You Need to Know About a GE Deal for Alstom's Energy Business
General Electric is in talks to buy Alstom's energy business, people familiar with the matter say. But what exactly would it be buying, and what are the implications? Here's a rundown:
What is Alstom, anyway?
The French company makes power gear and trains — including the superfast, iconic TGV — but has had a rough time of it lately. Ten years after a brutal fight to keep the company from being dismantled, Alstom is struggling with weak sales, and its shares hit a nine-year low earlier this year. That may have made it more attractive to GE. The conglomerate has targeted deals in the $1 billion to $4 billion range, but said last week it could pay more if bargains presented themselves.
So what would GE get?
GE already makes high end gas-fueled power turbines. Alstom would bring GE more customers in Europe and emerging markets, as well as a broader range of turbines. The French company also sells power transmission gear, a business GE isn't as big in.
What would it cost?
It isn't yet clear. Alstom's energy business brought in the equivalent of more than $14 billion in revenue between April and December, 71% of the company's total. Before a report Wednesday that GE was in talks to buy the whole company, Alstom had a market capitalization of about $10 billion. Whatever the final cost, the deal would likely rank among the most expensive pursued by GE CEO Jeff Immelt.
Would there be political issues?
A deal would remove a direct competitor in the turbine business, which could draw regulatory scrutiny. Buying only the energy business could be less politically sensitive in France, where Alstom's trains are icons.
What's the bigger picture?
GE is under pressure to increase the proportion of earnings generated by its industrial operations. Right now, nearly half its earnings come from its finance operations, which are highly profitable, but investors consider them too risky to value very highly. GE's Mr. Immelt has pledged to get them down to 30% of the total. A deal would boost GE's industrial results and give it lots of cost cutting opportunities.

Location: Southeast Watershed Research
2010 Annual Report
At Oxford - Two studies will be conducted. At the Northeast Mississippi Experiment Station at Verona the effects of FGD gypsum on an existing set of no-till cotton plots will be evaluated. FGD gypsum application rates of 0, 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 tons/acre would be applied on a replicated plot experiment. A Study at Milan, TN will evaluate the effects of tillage-gypsum interactions on cotton yields. Crop yields will be measured by the experiment station personnel responsible for all agronomic practices. Following harvest each growing season, soil cores will be collected to a depth of 36 inches from each plot and characterized for water dispersible clay as a measure of erodibility, particle size distribution, organic carbon content, pH, exchangeable Al, exchangeable bases, total calcium, sulfur, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
This cooperative project with Duke Energy Inc. investigates the effects of flue gas desulfurized gypsum (FGD-gypsum) on forage production, soil properties, and movement of phosphorus in association with land applications of poultry litter as a source of nutrients for piedmont soils. The overall project involves three Agricultural Research Service (ARS) locations (Auburn, Alabama, Oxford, Mississippi, and Watkinsville, Georgia). The United States Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery is cooperating in the project for risk assessment. In 2010 we analyzed runoff and soil samples, analyzed the data and contributed to a risk assessment for FGD-gypsum in cooperation with USEPA. Annual reports were given to participating utilities and USEPA. The Authorized Departmental Officer's Designated Representative monitored the project through coordination of information with the cooperator and with the other ARS locations through email and phone conversations. Research updates were conducted via conference calls and a face to face meeting in July 2010 at Jackson, Tennessee.

(VI) The Role of Intervention Psychology in the Delivery of Math 102F/103F/104F
"I simply expect people to be really, really good at what they do. With me, it's not a girl thing or a guy thing: it's a performance thing. Period. I give my players all the confidence they can handle and guess what? They usually rise to the top. But when they screw up, I hit 'em right between the eyes. Remember the old Westerns when they'd leave the back door at the bar open so they could escape if things turned bad? Well, I don't let my players leave the back door open. You've got to find a way out the front door in my program. None of this 'I was sick,' or 'I didn't get what I needed.' I don't want to hear it. Be resourceful."
- Geno Auriemma, 47, women's basketball coach, University of Connecticut, U.S.A., taken from Where Pride Still Matters (Brooks, 2002)
In The Little Book of Coaching,
Blanchard and Shula
similarly speak about being conviction-driven. They maintain that
"beliefs and convictions provide the boundaries and direction that
people want and need in order to perform well," and that
"inadequate beliefs are setups for inadequate performance" (2001,
pp. 12-13).
Though many students with math difficulties may be labeled as below-average learners, we believe differently at the Mathematics Learning Centre. Most students who have trouble with math are very capable learners in other areas. These students, for some reason, haven't learned mathematics to the level they need, and so we try to understand that from the perspective of curricula issues, issues in cognitive psychology, or issues in intervention psychology. What educators often fail to realize is that the students perceive these other issues as pressing and sometimes more engulfing than skills development per se. In our experience, the associated impediments often pose the most difficult didactic challenges.
Our students must frequently be helped to deal with cognitive/emotional problems. Four such problems occur sufficiently often to mandate preparing staff to deal with them in a manner that promotes self-reliance and mutual respect. First, our students tend to perform more poorly in high school (grade point average of 70.4, 1990 to 1998 cohorts) than other university students (grade point average of 77.6) (May, Rabinowitz and Mantyka, 2002, pp. 33-35). This substantial high school grade point difference reflects ability, skill, and motivation differences in the two populations. Thus, it is not surprising that many of our students must be taught study skills along with the realization that their actions largely determine what and whether they learn. Second, some of our students enter university believing that they are skilled at mathematics, having never received a high school mathematics grade below 70. When informed that they must complete two or more semesters of remedial mathematics, they react with disbelief and hostility, often blaming us. Third and fourth, still other students enter university with either great mathematical anxiety or a conviction that they are incapable of learning mathematics. In an attempt to increase self-esteem and reduce mathematical anxiety, considerable effort is expended to insure that these students are successful at the beginning of their program with us.
In all these situations, we acknowledge that there is an explanatory factor to account for the educational outcome, but we do not absolve the student from having to take responsibility for turning it around. Beyond the initial acknowledgement of causality, we want the students to "be resourceful" and we will more than match their resourcefulness and commitment to achieving better educational outcomes.
With all this extraordinary support we give the students at the Mathematics Learning Centre, we believe we can demand the highest standards of performance from them, just as Geno Auriemma demands from her players. We are prepared to provide this support to our students but we expect them to take responsibility for their own learning. There are no part marks. Answers are right or wrong and a copying error makes an answer wrong. A pass usually requires more than 80% of the answers to be correct, and these pass standards are applied to each content section of a test. Every module test contains sections embodying pure skills and sections that are all word problems and all sections must be passed.
There is no back door out of our program either. This is because we know our program works. We have massive data sets to attest to the success our students have after they complete our program. Just as Don Shula can point to a perfect season with the Miami Dolphins in 1972, so too can we point to the graphs posted on our bulletin board and say to our students, "trust us – it works."

Malaysia Awaits Opposition Leader Anwar's Next Move
Early on the evening of May 5, Malaysia's opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim took to Twitter to claim that his People's Alliance had won that day's national elections before the vote tally had begun in earnest, warning his opponents in the government not to interfere with the result.
A few hours later, the final count showed that the ruling Barisan Nasional, or National Front, had won 133 of the 222 seats in Malaysia's parliament. Mr. Anwar's dreams of leading the country some 15 years after he was sacked from government and imprisoned on charges of having sex with another man were in tatters.
It is unclear what Mr. Anwar, one of the Asia's most resilient politicians, will do next.
While he has said that this election would be his last attempt to win power, he also refused to concede defeat, accusing Prime Minister Najib Razak of manipulating the outcome of the vote by flying in unqualified voters to cast ballots for marginal seats and the country's Election Commission of using indelible ink that actually could easily wash off – something that could potentially have allowed some voters to cast their ballots more than once.
"It is an election that we consider fraudulent, and the Election Commission has failed its duty," a visibly exhausted Mr. Anwar said late on Sunday, saying he would challenge the results in several electoral districts. "They are clearly, or they were, complicit to a crime."
Both Mr. Najib and the Election Commission have denied claims that there was an attempt to manipulate the vote.
But activists pushing for cleaner elections were expected to meet on Monday to discuss what action to take, if any, against what they said were irregularities in the polls. These included alleged discrepancies in the electoral rolls and the arrival of what appeared to be foreigners from neighboring countries to cast votes for the National Front in some of the tightest electoral races.
Independent observers were also suspicious of the hiccups.
"This was a stolen election," said Bridget Welsh, a professor at Singapore Management University and an expert on Malaysian politics.
Either way, Sunday's election was an important turning point for this majority-Muslim, resource-rich nation.
For decades, Mr. Najib's predecessors carefully managed a series of race-based policies crafted to give a leg up to the country's ethnic-Malay Muslims and avoid a repeat of anti-Chinese riots that scarred the country in 1969.
Mr. Anwar, in contrast, campaigned hard for leveling the playing field for all Malaysians regardless of race. He argued that the old system bred corruption, held back the country's economic potential and stifled a growing clamor for accountability.
Indeed, the intensity of the contest reflected a wave of changes taking place across much of Asia, where rising incomes and the Internet's capacity to provide new information and opinions are combining to raise many people's expectations for better governance. Thailand's powerful armed forces are on the back foot after Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra was elected in a landslide in 2011 five years after the army ousted her elder brother in a coup. Countries such as China are allowing more space for environmentalists to protest the consequences of rapid industrialization. And Myanmar is quickly emerging as one of Asia's most vibrant new democracies after its military handed power to a quasi-civilian government two years ago.
These pressures are also apparent in Malaysia, despite Mr. Najib's win. For one, Mr. Anwar largely won over urban areas, leaving the National Front relying for the first time on its rural heartlands to stay in power. That increases the onus on Mr. Najib to broaden the appeal of his National Front before the next elections if it hopes to continue its 55-year winning streak.
"Mr. Najib's win wasn't the result the urban middle classes were expecting. They're not going like that, and Mr. Najib will have to deal with that," said James Chin, a visiting fellow at the Singapore-based Institute of Southeast Asian Studies.
Yet the Sunday's election was also a personal mission for Mr. Anwar.
Once groomed for the highest levels of power as a member of the National Front, he fell out with his one-time mentor, former leader Mahathir Mohamad, at the height of Asia's financial crisis in 1998. Sacked and prosecuted on sodomy charges, he spent six years in prison protesting his innocence, and was frequently held in solitary confinement. He was also beaten by Malaysia's former police chief, and was famously photographed after his arrest with a black eye before his conviction was later overturned in 2004.
Four years later, in 2008, Malaysia's opposition pulled off a political coup by breaking the National Front's customary two-thirds majority in parliament for the first time in decades while also winning control of key states such as Selangor and Penang, and inspiring a new wave of Malaysians to openly criticize the previously authoritarian-minded National Front.
Later that year, Mr. Anwar was again accused of sodomy, this time with a male aide. Mr. Anwar denied the charges, saying it was another political setup, and he was acquitted after a lengthy and often lurid trial in January 2012.
When the chief prosecutor in the sodomy trial quit to join Mr. Anwar's legal team after his acquittal, Mr. Anwar said he took it as a sign that the political momentum in the country was beginning to shift in his favor.
In some ways, analysts say, it already has. Mr. Najib has borrowed liberally from Mr. Anwar's reformist ideas, especially in rolling back some aspects of the country's race-based affirmative action policies and freeing up more space for political debate.
It's just that Mr. Anwar, it seems, won't be among the beneficiaries this time.

Lewis Carroll
Lewis Carroll: Later Years & Death
By the early 1870s, Lewis Carroll had endured some personal difficulties as well as professional success. His father died in 1868, causing Carroll to fall into a deep depression. As the eldest surviving male in the family, he was responsible for taking care of his six unmarried sisters, and purchased a home for them in Guildford, England. The year after his father's death Carroll published a book of nonsense poems that appeared under two different titles, Phantasmagoria and Rhyme? And Reason? His last major work of nonsense fiction was The Hunting of the Snark, a long nonsense poem published in 1876. It was about a motley crew of sailors in search of an imaginary creature. Scholars have debated the meaning of Snark, though we suspect Carroll's ghost is giggling over their efforts. "I have received courteous letters from strangers, begging to know whether 'The Hunting of the Snark' is an allegory, or contains some hidden moral, or is a political satire," Carroll wrote. "For all such questions I have but one answer, 'I don't know!'"5 As Charles Dodgson, Carroll also published mathematical works like the 1879 book Euclid and His Modern Rivals.
In the summer of 1880, Carroll abruptly quit photography. No one knows why, though some scholars believe that it may have been a reaction to rumors about his unseemly interest in his girl subjects. It seemed that he was withdrawing from many of the things that once defined him. In 1881, Carroll retired from his lectureship at Christ Church after 25 years on the job. The following year, he took an administrative position as the curator of the Christ Church Common Room, sort of like a club for seniors of the college. He held the job for ten years. He used his semi-retirement to write. He wrote a series of magazine pieces that he called "knots," which were a combination of humor story and mathematical puzzles. In 1885 they were published together in a book called A Tangled Tale. He also kept working on his logic studies. A scholarly book on the subject entitled The Game of Logic appeared in 1887.
Carroll retired from the Common Room in 1892. The following year, he published the second of a two-part novel called Sylvie and Bruno. The novel's confusing plot sailed over the heads of its young readers. Carroll worked on a scholarly book entitled Symbolic Logic, but he did not publish fiction again.
On 14 January 1898, Charles Dodgson died of pneumonia at his sisters' home in Guildford, England. He was buried at Mount Cemetery in Guildford. The local clergyman Dean Paget summarized Carroll's gifts in his sermon: "The brilliant, venturesome imagination, defying forecast with ever fresh surprise; the sense of humour in its finest and most naive form; the power to touch with lightest hand the undercurrent of pathos in the midst of fun; the audacity of creative fancy, and the delicacy of insight--these are rare gifts; and surely they were his."6
Fans of Carroll's are quick to defend his legacy against the charges that sprang up in biographies in the years after his death. "I'm very saddened that [his alleged pedophilia] is now the issue, rather than the quality of his writing and his photography and his mathematics," sad Roger Taylor. "If he knew how he's become a stalking horse for all our fears, he would recoil in horror."7

saw some ballet
on sunday m dumonceau took me to the nationale ballet in the muziektheater, that was the first time i've been in there in a couple years. that was kinda fun. later walking up to eijlders we ran into nieke and alain, they were at the waterhole two doors over.
it appears the gemeente are chopping down most of the trees in rembrandtplein. i'm like huh? i don't remember even hearing of the plan to do this. i just looked up one night and the tops of the trees had all been cut off. somebody at nw said now they are re-doing rembrandtplein, they want to make it seem more like a square. so the trees have to go. huh?
also, m told me something that sounds entirely bizarre: that many people in amsterdam complain about the trees because they diminish the sunlight coming in their windows. i found that really hard to wrap my head around. i mean, if you don't like the amount of sunlight in amsterdam, shouldn't you be moving to dubai or something? it's whacked.
m said it's just standard practice in this town, that every x years every neighborhood must get "freshened up" whether it needs it or not. even if everything is just fine, you have to change the appearance of the place just because you can. so for example they recently decided the bike paths on bilderdijkstraat needed to be wider, so the first thing they did was chop down all the trees.
some people have sent me some stuff for the "mental shoes" thing, i'm still hoping for more. i am also working on two little movie projects now which both need to be finished by the end of april.
there was a bad earthquake yesterday in central italy. several hundred people got killed.
and the strangest thing happened this afternoon: i found myself nodding my head to something rita verdonk said in the tweede kamer. she was yelling at the health minister, telling him to stop this bullshit with the smoking ban, let people decide for themselves, and turn more attention to real public health matters like improving healthcare itself. go rita. ok that's weird.
also read in the news: due to the worldwide financial crisis, fewer tourists are travelling to the south pole.

Students volunteer with children affected by tornadoes in Huntsville, AlabamaFour students from Penn State Berks traveled to Huntsville, Alabama on July 23, 2011, to work with grieving children who were the victims of several F4 and F5 tornadoes that tore through their community on April 27, 2011, leaving many homeless and traumatized.
The Berks Elementary Education seniors Pam Muthersbaugh, Boyertown; Kelly Putt, Birdsboro; and Jennifer Licwinko and Melissa Sauer of Phoenixville traveled with Jayne Leh, Assistant Professor of Math Education at Penn State Berks, as well as several community volunteers. The group is supporting the children through a week-long day camp in which they help children process through their grief through games, discussions, songs, and various activities.
The group is part of a team of volunteers from the Frieden's Lutheran Church in Oley working at Camp Noah, a non-profit organization founded by Lutheran Social Services of Minnesota that serves children and communities who have suffered trauma and loss through disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and flooding.
The Berks students received partial funding for their trip through the PSU4Kids campus organization.

The Hottest Guys of the NHL Playoffs 2013
"One of the foundations of a healthy relationship is being able to express your feelings to your partner and learning how to listen," says Cooper. "Witnessing or mirroring [basically saying 'I get you'] is a good basic form of communication." But saying 'I get you' doesn't mean 'I agree with you.' In other words, hear him out, but don't just agree to keep the peace.
Particularly as you get further along in your relationship—moving in together, having kids, the whole shebang—you'll have plenty of logistical conversations that need to happen. Who's making sure the kids aren't stranded at soccer practice, how to handle telling Momzilla that you're going to his folks' for the holidays, and so on. "That doesn't give a sense of emotional bonding or intimacy that many people are craving," says Cooper. Carve out quality time when you're focusing on each other and nothing else.
"There's a term in couples counseling we use called 'kitchen sinking,'" says Cooper. You probably already guessed what it means: That mountain of complaints that piles up like the dishes in your skank-ass sink—starting with his griping about you stealing the TV remote whenever he turns on the sports channel and then snowballs into an argument about house chores, date nights and the fact that you never wear the awful jewelry he bought you for V-Day. Don't do it. Arguing about a bunch of issues all at once is too overwhelming to tackle. Stick to one at a time.

NRRI > Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) Using Abandoned Mine Pits on the Mesabi Iron Range of Minnesota
Last Update Wed Apr 18 15:10:00 CDT 2012
The Mesabi Iron Range has been mined for over 100 years. In doing so, a large number of open pits and underground mines were created along its 120 mile length. This projects main question is what potential pumped hydro energy storage sites on the Mesabi Iron Range would support a closed-loop pumped hydro energy storage facility, and can the facility be constructed in an environmentally sound manner?The report was issued at the end of October and the project concluded. Results show that the Iron Range has a number of sites that could be potentially deployed for energy storage using the PHES concept. No dramatic fatal flaws in adopting the technology in northeast Minnesota were found as long as future mining of minerals is considered in making the final economic assessment of project viability for a given site.
PHES facilities are constructed to add stability to a local or regional energy grid, i.e., no peaks or valleys in the amount of electricity available to all consumers. These energy storage facilities are constructed using an upper reservoir, which is twice the size of the lower reservoir. Water is released from the upper reservoir through penstocks, which carry the water to the turbine(s) that produce the electricity. Generally, water is released during the day and pumped back to the upper reservoir during the night. The head (difference in elevation between the upper reservoir and the top of the lower reservoir) needs to be a minimum of 350 ft. These are basic criteria for locating a facility on the Mesabi Iron Range. Other criteria such as environmental impact, land ownership (surface and minerals), wetlands, archaeological sites, engineering and geotechnical considerations, etc., all impact the siting of a PHES facility.
This work has shown that various scenarios can be used to adopt this energy storage strategy for various locations on the Mesabi Iron Range. The Environmental team went through typical items that would be important for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to be developed; they have interviewed various stakeholders about environmental concerns. The Policy team conducted extensive interviews to gauge public acceptance and potential roadblocks to concept implementation. The St. Anthony Falls Laboratory identified structural and equipment requirements for a model facility; the Geotechnical team characterized structural conditions that may exist at various locations across the Range in terms of rock integrity and quality. It was planned that a final report for this project would be issued at the end of October 2011.
